Post subject: missing the big picture
Reading some of the previous remarks are interesting. People are shocked at the amount of lynchings and the smile's of the persecutors in the photos. Whites feign shock and moral outrage and proclaim that "hey man, I wasnt there, it wasnt me, I'm not responsible' Blacks point the finger and say "how white of you. your all to blame, whitey has always been keeping the blacks down, non americans point to the pictures and proclaim how evil and corrupt The United States is.
Terrible indeed these pictures are, but they are nothing new under the sun. That most of these pictures illustrate whites lynching blacks and it does say something about the cultural atrocities of post Civil War/early 20th century United States, it ,at least to me, points to something far more evil and insidious. It's just what people do when the oppurtunity arises. It really doesnt have to be about color, or race, or religion or political affiliation, or financial standing. Get a mob together and feed that dark inner fire that I am sad to say burns in the majority of all humans and you will see sights to make a devil blush. Any outsider, or weekling will do. There are what, a hundred or so pictures in this collection spanning 100 years over a country this big? Although, a brutal assault on ones moral senses, thats peanuts, I can show you twice as many picture from much smaller spectrums of time, with much more pitiful victims from Rowanda, or Dharfur, or Bosnia, or Auschwitz, or the Gulags (oops scratch that, Stalin was real good about not letting any pictures of those atrocities out), or wounded Knee, or Armenia, or Nanking. I can show you lots of smiling sadistic murderers, and they dont care if they are black on black, white on white, white on black, christian on christian, muslim on jew, communist on dissident, nazi on jew, jew on palestinian.....do you see a pattern here? It is humans will do the most unspeakable acts upon other humans and grin and laugh the whole time doing it.
I am not ashamed of being white and American. I am ashamed of being Human. Viewing these pictures pains me deeply, because of the inhumanity of humans. These pictures remind me of that famous WWII picture of the german soldier taking aim at the back of the woman with a child in her arms. I believe it was an Einsatzgruppen activity in the east and she was a jew. It is every bit as heartwrenching as the woman hanging from the bridge in this collection. When you see the picture you know your looking at the same beast committing the crime for the same reason. It saddens me just to think of them. Actually it is not inhumanity. Humans are the only species thats takes pleasure and pride in torturing and killing it's own species. Evil is our humanity. How sad.
Yes these should be shown in schools and universities. People should know how evil they can be, so that hopefully they can recognize they beast that lies ready to spring in all of us and keep watch over it, so as not to succumb to monsters bred of ignorance and fear. Ignorance and fear are fertile grounds for evil and cruelty. That is the origin of the racism in these pictures and the atrocities committed the world over.

School breaks the world record for wearing most onsies (From Daily Echo)

Ringwood School breaks Guiness World Record for biggest gathering of people wearing onsies
11:00am Sunday 16th February 2014 in News
SNUG, warm and resembling an outsized baby grow, they are the unstoppable craze sported by the likes of Brad Pitt and boy band One Direction.
Now a Hampshire school has taken the fashion phenomena onsie step further.
Yesterday pupils and teachers smashed the Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of people wearing the one-piece pyjamas.
Some 1,184 staff and students from Ringwood School had rallied in their treasured all-in-one suits for the challenge as part of an end of term sponsored non school uniform day.
The sea of striped, spotted and multi-coloured onsies broke the record by a comfortable margin of 432 onsies. The school is now awaiting official confirmation of this from Guinness World Records.
Organiser Gemma Diaper said: "I am confident we have broken the record.
"It was quite a sight and certainly broke the usual school uniform rules.
"Some of the children and teachers wore their onsies all day."
The wacky record bid also raised £1,200 for Rotary's End Polio Now campaign and various cancer charities. This included Families Against Neuroblastoma.
The school decided to raise money for the charity to pay tribute to four year old Henry Allen from Buckinghamshire, whose tragic death inspired the last onsie record breaking event in Milton Keynes last November.
That attempt saw 752 people turning up to break a world record.
The day before hundreds lined the streets to help say goodbye to the brave youngster, who passed away on October 20 after suffering with Neuroblastoma, a childhood cancer.

There's so many restrictions on what kids should or shouldn't wear to school-as a reference point just look at the Angus Deayton influenced travelling psycho circus that is 'Waterloo Road'- and yet this seriously untrendy and criminally slobbish abomination is encouraged in the name of 'charridee mate'.

14 hp Lister diesel generator
Well I finally got started building the gen set. Took three days to get this far Why is it that the first welds are the one up front and visible When I see a weld ground off the first thing I think is how bad was the weld job Doggone it I had to grind down some welds.
Well you can see where I got started with just a plate and som 4x4 1/2" tubing. Then I added the mounting bracket for the air bag suspension. And got the front tires mounted. And the air bags plumed in.
Used a chainfall to lift the lister as that 14hp diesel weighs about 1100 pounds Mounted the generator head and started it up Got some live action pictures in there. I was worried about how much it would jump around but after it was up to speed it ran real smooth and did not put any vibration into the ground. As those that have been following this know the first time I started it I had to chase it across the garage
I still have to get a belt set up tensioners. Get a water pump for it and set that up witha radiator and all the lines. Right now its hand crank only and I want to try to setup a electric starter on it.

Donny thank you my friend
Hi Johnbron Just gestumatin' I think about 1800lbs. The good thing about it is no one is going just throw it in the back of a pickup and permantly "borrow it" unless they have a tow truck or end loader I picked up a starter generator for a cub cadet belt drive that I plan on rigging up.
Bill nothing fancy here. Air compresser, some air tools, gas hatchet (torches grandma gave me) old drill press, 2 grinders, assorted hand tools, Mig (wish I had a stick too), My brother just gave me the 10" band saw for next to nothing to help me out. Now if only I had a good old big lathe, bridge port and tooling for both And And like a flat floor that wasn't broken up and shifted so I could lay stuff out Oh yea a shop area big enough so I could find what I am looking for instead of trying to rember which pile its in Oh well its not what you have its how you use it Thank you for keeping a eye on me and yu encouragement Bill
Thats great Carl I am looking forward to seeing you agin Be warned I am bringing the carb off my cub though
Thanks John Like George I wish you could make it to cubfest. But if you ever find yourself near this area you are more than welcome over here
Hi George my 4 year old nephew wants to thank you for Scruffies old front wheels as other wise we could not have cut the lawn today The first thing he wants to do when he comes over is ride the "tractor"
Take care of your equipment and it will take care of you. 1964 cub. Farmall 100 and 130.
"Those that say it can't be done should not interrupt the ones who are doing it."
Just an idea, but those listers were designed to be gravity cooled. No water pump is truly necessary. Find yourself a wide radiator, and turn it sideways for additional height, and you should be set, use a zero pressure cap, though, as I don't think they were meant to hold coolant pressure in the least. A 12V alternator and an electric fan would help, too. Or, just an old box fan, run off the 120V. The 12V setup would be more weatherproof, though. I'm told they don't run real hot, though, traditionally, they were cooled by plumbing them into an open-top 55 gal drum.
Those air-pillows are one heck of an idea. I have my compressor frame mounted to an old tire, no rim. It helps a lot. I leave the electric motor a little loose in it's mount, and use wedged sticks driven between the motor and the pump as my "belt tensioner".......it works....LOL
Cowboy Billy, That is just fantastic, out of this world, what thinking, I LIKE IT!
I can almost hear it from here.
You remember we use similar engines here for thrashing, mainly made by Bernard in France. Slow reving with a big piston long stroke, keep going for life!
Cool John looking forward to seing you agin
Hi Tom I will use a cooling tank for testing. Even thought I am taking one to cubfest these are not poratable units. When it is setup at home engine cooling will be water baseboard heaters inside the house. The water path will be from the house to the engine water jacket into the exhust water jacket (we are cooling the exhust to heat the house too) into the house basebord heaters. And back to the pump. If we need more heat we will plug in electric heaters which will make the engine work harder making more heat. And burning free waste oil = free electrick + free heat -setup coats -time picking up and hauling oil -time filtering oil and cost of oil filters =coming out way way ahead and sticking it back at the oil companies
Tom you just gave me a new You could convert a cub or A engine to run on propane or natural gas. Burn that in your engine instead of a furnance you get your heat and free power and mabe sell some power back to edison
Hi Pat thank you It is a neat project. I looked at your site and you have some cool engines
Take care of your equipment and it will take care of you. 1964 cub. Farmall 100 and 130.
"Those that say it can't be done should not interrupt the ones who are doing it."
Hey Billy...You did a GREAT JOB on your Lister/Gen Set No question that it'll be too heavy for neighbors to "borrow". Your airbag idea is TERRIFFIC Thanks for all the photos Billy

Thanks Country The air bags were my brothers his wife did not like the vibration. Actually most of this project is my brothers He made the engine plate. The braceing and welding is mine as is the location of the air bags and mountings. Using used motor oil to fuel it came from one of the sites Tom (400cub) gave me.
The other project is a ethanal still my brother is setting up at my place. He has the condenser made. And he is working on processes to stream line it and have it set up with the brewing tankes in a 8' foot wide shed that we can put on a trailer if we need to. And are going to apply for a premit for up to 10,000 gallons a year. With all of us invalved will need 6,000 to 8,000 gallons.

Bin to Bottle, a custom wine production company outside Napa, is expanding into Sonoma.
The company is poised to double its production capacity after striking a one-year agreement to lease Ramal Estate Winery, formerly part of Buena Vista Winery, from owner Entertainment Properties Trust.
"We needed more production capacity, and we were looking for an opportunity and this became available," said John Wilkinson, managing partner of Bin to Bottle. "It is a facility that allows us to expand into a different market than we're currently in."
The company's Napa location focuses on high-end wines that are barrel-aged. It can process about 5 to 7 tons of grapes per hour, Wilkinson said.
The new space in the Carneros region has the capacity to produce between 25 and 45 tons per hour, Wilkinson estimated. An additional room dedicated to pinot noir can process about 5 to 7 tons of grapes per hour, but it is already sold out for this harvest season, Wilkinson said.
At its facility south of Napa, the company employs about 30 full-time workers off-season and 50 during harvest, Wilkinson said. The company will add 20 employees to work at the Sonoma facility during harvest.
Clients include Riboli Family Wine Estates, Spence Howell Mountain and Vellum Wine Craft, according to its website.
In addition to wineries, grape growers make up 10 to 15 percent of Bin to Bottle's business. Growers typically sell their grapes directly to wineries, but some have looked for alternatives during the recession as grape prices weakened.
In 2009, for example, some growers who had previously commanded $4,500 to $5,000 a ton for their grapes were offered $1,500 or less, Wilkinson said. Rather than sell their grapes at low prices, some turned their fruit over to a custom crush facility to process into wine and sell it on the bulk market. Last year Bin to Bottle produced bulk wine for 15 growers in Napa and Sonoma and sold the wine for around $25 a gallon.

Curry, Lee lift Warriors past Mavericks in OT
DALLAS (AP) — Stephen Curry scored 20 of his 31 points in the fourth quarter and overtime and David Lee's layup with 32.8 seconds left helped the Golden State Warriors beat the Dallas Mavericks 105-101 Monday night.
Curry had six points and three assists in the extra period. The fourth-year guard passed to Lee on his go-ahead basket that put Golden State up 101-99.
Dallas' O.J. Mayo scored 27 points, including all 11 of the Mavericks' points in overtime. His 8-footer in the lane tied it at 99 with 41.2 seconds left in the extra period.
Lee had 17 points and a season-high 19 rebounds, and rookie Harrison Barnes had 20 points and 12 rebounds for Golden State.
Mavericks point guard Darren Collison hit a 20-foot jumper with 36.9 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter to force overtime.
Dallas has lost five of seven since a 4-1 start.
Paul and Griffin lead Clippers over Spurs 92-87
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Chris Paul had 19 points and eight assists and the Los Angeles Clippers beat San Antonio 92-87 on Monday night, their second win against the Spurs this season.
Matt Barnes added 14 points and Blake Griffin had 16 points and 12 rebounds for the Clippers (8-2).
Tim Duncan had 20 points and 14 rebounds for the Spurs (8-3), who suffered their second home loss this season. Manu Ginobili added 15 points and Tony Parker 11.
Paul made a five-foot jumper in the lane with 24.6 seconds left to give the Clippers a 91-87 lead. Gary Neal missed a 3-pointer on the subsequent possession, which Eric Bledsoe gathered for his fifth rebound. Bledsoe, who had nine points, made one of two free throws for the final margin.
Hayward scores 15 as Jazz beat Rockets 102-91
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Reserve Gordon Hayward scored 15 points, Al Jefferson had 14 points and 16 rebounds and the Utah Jazz beat the road-weary Houston Rockets 102-91 on Monday night.
Randy Foye hit four 3-pointers and scored 14 points for the Jazz, who led by as many as 23 in the first half after opening the second quarter with a 13-0 run. Utah led by 17 at halftime.
The Rockets pulled within nine late in the third, but Houston wouldn't get any closer with leading scorer James Harden on the bench with a fever and upper-respiratory infection. Harden started 0 of 6 and finished with six points in 17 minutes before exiting just before halftime.
Patrick Patterson scored a season-high 19 points and Jeremy Lin added 13 for Houston, which lost its third straight.
Div. II Chaminade upsets Texas 86-73 in Maui
LAHAINA, Hawaii (AP) — De'Andre Haskins scored 32 points to lead Division II Chaminade to an 86-73 upset of Texas on Monday night, 30 years after the tiny school made its mark on college hoops with its famous upset over top-ranked Virginia.
The win was just Chaminade's seventh at the Maui Invitational since the tournament started in 1984.
Haskins also had nine rebounds as the Silverswords (2-2) turned a tight game in the first half into a blowout. Kevin Hu, a Taiwanese freshman, scored 16 off the bench.
Texas (2-1) shot 46.4 percent for the game after making just one of eight 3-pointers in the first half.
Chaminade led at halftime after battling back from two separate deficits of seven or more points each. The Silverswords fell behind 8-0 after missing their first 10 shots.
After the final buzzer, the Silverswords raced onto the court and celebrated.
Evans leads Saint Louis over Texas A&M, 70-49
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Dwayne Evans matched a career high with 21 points, Mike McCall Jr. added 13 and Saint Louis rolled to a 70-49 victory over Texas A&M on Monday night in the semifinals of the CBE Classic.
Cory Remekin added 13 points and Cody Ellis finished with 10 for the Billikens (2-1), who will play No. 12 Kansas in the championship game Tuesday night.
The Billikens, who were stunned by Santa Clara last week, bounced back nicely against an Aggies squad expected to fare well in the SEC this season. Meanwhile, Texas A&M (3-1) struggled from the foul line and was dominated on the boards in a game that was never very close.
Elston Turner had 16 points and Ray Turner added 10 for the Aggies, but Fabyon Harris was just 2 for 10 from the field and Texas A&M committed 19 turnovers while getting out-rebounded 31-25.
Houston prepares for 1st Thanksgiving game
HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Texans won't have long to lament the mistakes they made against the Jacksonville Jaguars before rallying for a wild 43-37 overtime win.
They've got a quick turnaround before playing their first Thanksgiving game against Detroit where they'll look to improve on their franchise-best 9-1 start.
Coach Gary Kubiak says playing four days after an overtime game, "is tough, but I think that's what builds the character of your team."
Houston's normally dominant defense struggled Sunday. The Texans made up for it on offense. Their 640 yards were a franchise record, and Matt Schaub and Andre Johnson both had career days.
Now the Texans face the NFC's top offense as they begin a three-game road swing that could be critical to their playoff positioning.
A&M's Richardson recovering from spine injury
COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Texas A&M freshman linebacker Michael Richardson has been released from the hospital after surgery for a cervical spine injury that occurred against Sam Houston State on Saturday.
Richardson had five tackles in the second half on Saturday. He complained of pain in his neck after the game and he was taken to the hospital that night. Surgery was performed on Sunday and he was released from the hospital Monday.
Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin says: "We are so thankful Michael came through surgery in good shape and our focus, thoughts and prayers are just on his healing and recovery."
UTEP's Price retiring after 31 years as head coach
EL PASO, Texas (AP) — UTEP coach Mike Price is retiring after a 31-year career notable for two Rose Bowl bids at Washington State and a drinking binge that cost him the Alabama job before he ever coached a game for the Crimson Tide.
Price announced the decision Monday with one game left in his ninth season with the Miners (3-8). He led UTEP to 8-4 records and bowl games his first two years in El Paso but hasn't had a winning record since.
After leading Washington State to the Rose Bowl in 2002, Price was hired by Alabama. That spring, he was fired after admitting to drinking heavily and going to a topless bar after attending a golf tournament in Florida.
Price, who started at Weber State in 1981, has a 177-182 career record.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

Jacquizz Rodgers, after racking up over 2,600 yards in his first two years at Oregon State, is looking to insert himself into the Heisman Trophy conversation this season. What will it take for him...
More buzz around Quizz.
I like everyone else am pretty down about the season after that terrible game. BUT I think we all should feel good about the season and we should get ready for more of this type of recognition to come back at the Beavs. So check out Pat Forde's Frosh of the Year and also his Pac-10 awards (a little ways down the page). It won't totally bring back that warm and fuzzy feeling we had before Saturday but should put a little bit of pride glow back into your step.

I've started doing some dumbbell workouts lately to improve my overall (not just climbing related) strength and power. I'd like to put on as little new muscle mass as possible, because I'm pretty sure most of my climbing ability comes from being built like a string bean. I've heard conflicting advice as to the best strategy to get strength and power gains without getting jacked. What do you guys think? Here's what I've heard so far: Most common: "Hi reps, low weight" This is what everyone seems to say, but it doesn't make sense to me. How can I increase power and strength if I don't workout somewhere near my limits? Also see blood flow theory below. 2nd opinion: "Low reps, high weight" edit for clarity *High weight builds strength but won't add size at low reps* These guys seem to think that muscle mass is gained because your body needs to get more blood flow to the guns. I.e., higher reps at a moderate weight are what really up the demands for blood flow, so that's what builds bulk. 3rd opinion: "It's all about diet/individual physiology anyway" I know these are simplistic, but I'm new to this training stuff, so if anyone can give me some good advice or point me to some reputable resources, I'd be much obliged.
Read this: climbstrong.wordpress.com/2011/11/28/strength-training-for-r>>>
Thanks for the replies. Monomaniac, that article seems to jive with my "2nd opinion", which makes the most sense to me - I need low reps near my max to get strength w/o bulk.
A combination of your diet, exercise choices, and genetics will determine how much muscle weight you put on from your strength training. Certainly you should avoid a "bodybuilding" style workout that works mid to high reps for the large muscle groups. This will add bulk without adding much functional strength. However, it is still possible to add a tremendous amount of muscle by doing low rep work also. I am a former power-lifter and use to train exclusively with single reps. I attained a weight of 240 at 5'10" and was predominately muscle, so don't believe you won't add muscle from low reps. If one of your big objectives is to keep your weight down, I would not focus on exercises such as squats, deadlifts, and cleans. All fantastic exercises for developing whole body strength, but they also have the tendency to add muscle without benefiting functional strength for climbing. I personally would advise to keep your focus on body-weight type strength training that will improve overall fitness and lend functional strength to climbing without a high risk of adding bulky muscle. Mr. Mix
You really need to find a balance and it all depends on you. Low rep/high weight will definitely help you build absolute strength but climbing is all about relative strength (i.e. relative to your body weight). If you do standard lifting exercising and ingest lots of protein etc. you will definitely bulk up and you don't want that to affect you're ability to lift your own body weight. My advice: A. Pull ups. Start out with full grip pull-ups until you can do about 20 slow and controlled pull-ups then move on to the same but with like 1.5 pads. Once you can do that add a weight vest (with not a lot of weight, maybe like +10-15lbs) and work back to the same goal. B. Lock offs. Work on lock offs, try to hold as long as you can. When you are comfortable, add a weight vest. C. Static Hangs. Same as above D. Core. Very important, but normal dynamic sit-ups and stuff won't cut it. Do everything to a 10 count up and down. Sit-ups (on a board if you have if) leg lifts, side plank raises and pull-up bar twists. Again, at some point consider adding weight (weight vest or med ball) E. Run...enough said You could probably get a good round of this done in about an hour. Then if you have the time doing some dumb bell exercises would definitely be beneficial, but again normal cleans and jerks won't cut it for climbing. They will just bulk you up. Think more along the line of HIIT training. High intensity lifts (with higher weight and lower reps) mixed with intense cardio and more dynamic body weight and lifts at lower weight. Obviously, what and how much you do depends on your free time. I work a good amount so it is sometimes hard to even get out and climb 3 days a week but if you work up a regimen that works with you schedule you won't regret it. Some resources: mountainathlete.com/ Eric horst's books (you only really need to look at one, it is the same stuff repeated in different form. You can find enough of it online, definitely no need to buy if you don't want to) www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field>>> 9 out of 10 Climbers: www.blankslateclimbing.com/shop/item/9-out-of-10-climbers/ Sorry for the long winded response. - Joe
Steve Bechtel has good stuff. Check out Mono's link. If you want to increase strength and power train high weight / low reps. The medium weight/10-12 reps will add size more than other styles of exercise. It's what bodybuilders use. There is a myth with heavy weight training that you will instantly be huge. Not so. It's difficult to put on muscle mass. You have to eat to the point of uncomfort all day to pack on 15 lbs quickly. Monitor you weight gain with nutrition. Eat enough to add a few lbs of muscle but don't eat like a body builder. Those guys also take hormones and roids so don't worry about looking like them. Look at the 160 lb powerlifters who dead lift 400 lbs. They aren't "huge". For overall fitness and injury prevention, focus on full body workouts with compound movements. Stay away from curls and single jointed exercises.
By definition weights add mass. If you don't want any mass, weights are a waste of time. Like others are saying, body-weight exercises are the way to go. Want to try a KILLER workout? Find somewhere where you can do Tire Flipping.

Strictly Come Dancing's Brendan Cole set for Celtic Manor date
1:20pm Saturday 19th January 2013 in Gwent news
STRICTLY Come Dancing may be over for another year but one of its ballroom stars will be back strutting his stuff at the Celtic Manor Resort in March.
Brendan Cole, an ever-present on the BBC TV show since winning the opening series with TV presenter Natasha Kaplinsky in 2004, will bring the sparkle of the ballroom to the Newport venue with a show called Live at the Manor.
He proved a popular performer once again on this season's show, teaming up with Olympic cycling champion Pendleton to reach week eight of the competition.
"It will be an absolute pleasure to return to the Celtic Manor Resort and enjoy some more of that famous Welsh hospitality," said New Zealander Cole.
"The wonderful ballroom at the Celtic Manor is the perfect venue for a more intimate stage show and I really enjoyed meeting the audience last year. "This really is unique among the shows I perform and it's a great way for dance lovers to get right up close to what we do."

My boyfriend and I took our third cruise together on the Freedom from July 21-27, 2013. We had a fantastic experience! We'd sailed on Carnival before so we knew generally what to expect.
We stayed overnight the night before at Alhambra Beach Resort (great place, by the way), and arrived at 11 AM at Port Everglades on embarkation day. We were on board by noon. Luggage arrived around 4 PM. Ship was a few hours late leaving due to routine maintainence, but since it didn't affect the itinerary, we didn't care. Next time, though, we know to dress in our bathing suits on embarkation day :p
The ship was kept extremely clean. I know, because I get allergies and dust / mold / mildew makes it act up. I had no issues whatsoever with allergies this trip.
Our room steward was absolutely wonderful. He made sure we always had ice in the room. Whenever we needed something (ie corkscrew, scissors, etc), he would bring it over to our room in no more than 5 seconds. Put our beds together without us having to ask. Great attitude, knew us by name on the first day...if we ever take the Freedom again, I hope we get the same steward =)
Our MDR waiters were great, as well. In fact, we asked for the same waiter on the last three days of our cruise, because he made our dining experience so enjoyable. Enjoyed dancing with the dining room staff, too!
Entertainment and food was about what you'd expect on a cruise line...with that said, they were both very good. We did miss one of the shows because we opted to go dancing instead. Also, loved the Latin band. My boyfriend is Hispanic so we did plenty of Latin dancing on the cruise...so much, that the Latin band would wave hello and come talk to us whenever they saw us there.
Ports of call were terrific, and we had perfect weather all week. Reviews of the ports to follow.
Writing this review makes me miss our cruise and the people on it...looking forward to booking our next one already, once I get enough vacation time saved up!

Jim Hunt looks younger than his 76 years now, and when he gets going about the governorship and Democrats, his voice deepens and his tone grows serious. The Hunt treatment people call it, and its often accompanied by a strong squeeze of the elbow. When the voice is going, its easy to go back in ones mind to Terms I and II, and then III and IV, and to think about what the national pundits wrote in 1988, when Michael Dukakis was riding the Democratic Party Kamikaze into the Earth against then-Vice President George H.W. Bush.
Their line? It went something like, If former North Carolina Gov. Jim Hunt had defeated Sen. Jesse Helms in 1984, he would likely be the Democratic nominee.
No wonder then that Hunt remains the force to whom North Carolina Democrats turn in times of trouble. And right now constitutes big trouble. The party is out of the governors office, the House speakers office and the leadership of the state Senate for the first time in 100 years. State Party Chairman Randy Voller has had federal tax problems and lacks the confidence of some party faithful, which translates into money-raising trouble.
And so, when they met in Greensboro on Saturday, the Democrats called Brother Hunt to the political pulpit, and he strongly advised reaching out to independents, raising more money and finding good candidates. He said that the recent New York Times editorial The Decline of North Carolina came about because they know how good we were.
The former governor was right on many points, to be sure. But Democrats, through laziness or disinterest or overconfidence, have no one but themselves to blame for the sorry state of their party. Its in the interest of all North Carolinians, Republicans and Democrats, to have a strong two-party state. Debate is more lively and more constructive.
Hunt didnt make excuses. He made plans. Thats what is needed not only for the Democratic Party, but also for the Republicans. Democrats currently are lamenting the unmaking of their past accomplishments in the areas of social justice, the environment and access to voting. Republicans are touting how they have liberated the state and especially its businesses from the weight of taxes and regulations Democrats favored.
But neither side is offering a vision of what North Carolina can accomplish. The future belongs to the party that can express, rally around and win others to an idea of what this great and rapidly changing state should become in the decade and the century ahead.

The Houston Astros, as you know, will be leaving the National League after the 2012 season, after 50 years, and moving to the American League West in 2013.
Throughout their history, the Astros have had numerous color and logo changes on their uniforms, never really settling on one look for more than a few years. During the 2012 season, they've been doing "Flashback Fridays", wearing replicas of uniforms from each era, such as the ones pictured by Jose Altuve and coach Dave Clark in the photo attached to this post.
Now, it appears that those uniforms -- or something very similar to them -- will be the Astros' new look in 2013. Chris Creamer of sportslogos.net has the scoop:
Thanks to an extremely reliable source, SportsLogos.Net News can confirm that the Houston Astros will be changing their colour scheme back to blue and orange for the 2013 season. This information comes on the heels of Astros' owner Jim Crane saying last week that the new uniforms will be borrowing elements from their past designs but with a modern twist.
The return to blue and orange for the first time in 20 years is just one of the major brand changes planned for the soon-to-be American League club heading into next season.
In addition to the colour scheme making a return, the old cap logo from the 1980s will be back as well, albeit in a modernized form. The logo featured a white H on an orange star and was originally worn from 1965-1993. For 2013, the "H" will be in a different font.
It sounds as if Jim Crane & Co. have hit exactly the right notes in this uniform updating -- paying homage to a past style, while not doing precisely the same thing, as Creamer writes:
These changes all sound very similar to what the Toronto Blue Jays did prior to the current season, a slightly modernized take on their classic club branding. Like the Blue Jays, this marks the end of an experimental era in the Astros team branding which had begun with the blue and gold look of 1994-99 and carried into brick and black from 2000-12.
There's been no official word from the Astros on these changes and there likely won't be for a while; I'd expect them to have an official unveiling of the new style sometime in the fall, as the Blue Jays and Miami Marlins did last offseason.

The goal of the Murray series was to design a board that utilized the pro model features that Shaun
has become accustomed to while finding the balance of that user-friendly ride anyone could enjoy.
Shaun's new shape begins with his first ever Subtle 3-stage rocker line. This new rocker gives the
Murray more pop than ever before but it's subtle enough to maintain great speed into the wake
and make carving as natural as his previous shapes. The new dual tunnel base contours allow for
maximum water fl ow past the removable .8" P-Wing fins which creates a responsive edge but still
allows for a quick release off the wake. This new shape is finished off with a variable edge design and
exaggerated landing zone for smooth edge transitions and soft landings.
The Team Open Toe was built for a rider looking for the feel and functionality of a supportive mid
flex boot with the adjustability of an open toe. The slightly higher cuff and Seamless Liner Construction
allows for additional support with a comfortable fit. The adjustable open toe design makes it a
great choice to accommodate a wide array of foot sizes. Dual quick cinch lace zones allow for easy
entry and exit at the beginning or end of your set. The Team OT also utilizes the new Low Pro plate
system for a lighter weight feel and the closest foot to board connection possible.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - A group of Jefferson County Public Schools students have teamed with a Louisville organization to bring safe, pure water to children clear across the world.
While turning shoes into water is no easy feat, students and staff at Middletown Elementary have been doing just that in hopes of helping others in need.
One after another Monday, crews worked to load heavy boxes and bags of shoes into a van waiting outside the elementary school.
"The mayor had an initiative to Give-A-Day," began Middletown Elementary School Instructor Michele Mason, "and our student teachers came up with the idea of doing the WaterStep program."
"We collect the shoes," said WaterStep Assistant Shoe Director Jennifer Poe. "We sell them to an exporter and the funds that we receive from the exporter go toward our water projects, trips, training, over head costs. Just about anything that we do on a day-to-day basis to save lives with safe water."
The fundraiser aimed to help WaterStep, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing safe and sustainable water solutions in underdeveloped areas, continue helping people in need regardless of their location.
"We had a video that showed the different countries," said Middletown Elementary School Principal Patty Salyer. "That was the first time I think that they had seen that there were actually people that had to walk miles to get jugs of water."
That image had an everlasting impression on students like 10-year-old Annabelle O'Neal. The fourth-grader found herself so inspired, she took her shoe collection one step further.
"I was going door to door," said O'Neal.
While O'Neal said she collected nearly 40 pairs of shoes on her own, Mason's second graders surpassed their classroom goal all together.
"Our whole entire class got 185 pair and our whole school got over 1,000," remarked one of Mason's students.
Turns out, in just one school week the Middletown Bulldogs had nearly doubled that number.
"We set a goal for ourselves for 1,000 and so they went over it by about 800," said Salyer. "I was really proud of all our kids."
"We're saving lives with the safe water," said Poe. "We're keeping the shoes out of the landfill and they're going on somebody's feet that needs them. So, it's win-win all the way around."

Art & Art History Internships
The Department of Art and Art History has an active internship program, which provides a means for students to gain practical experience and to have contact with the art world. Internships are often included as a part of art history and studio majors, and of the museum studies cluster. They are also open to other students with appropriate preparation.
Every semester University of Rochester students intern at local institutions. At the Memorial Art Gallery, they work primarily with the Curatorial and Education departments, although some have worked with Public Relations and Development as well. At the George Eastman House students have worked with the Film, Photography, and Education departments, but can also work with conservation, networked information, computer related media, and the history and aesthetics of photography as applied to those areas. Less frequently students have worked at the Strong Museum and at the Genesee Country Village and Museum, and there are also interning opportunities at the Rochester Museum and Science Center and at the Rochester Contemporary (RoCo). At the Landmark Society of Western New York, students can work on architectural surveys in Rochester; for example, one student prepared a successful nomination of a building for the National Registry of Historic Places. In addition students have also worked in local architects' offices and in graphic design firms.
For students wishing to do internships outside of the Rochester area, there are several possibilities. The Department of Art and Art History offers the Art New York program, which includes an internship that gives students a chance to work in a New York City gallery, museum, or other art world venue for a semester. It is also possible to intern in art museums and organizations in Europe through the European Arts Internship program, which offers programs in many cities, including London, Bonn, Cologne, and Madrid.
Since the availability of internships depends upon the needs of the hosting institutions, internships are set up semester by semester. It has always been possible, however, to find a placement for students that fits in with their interests.
- The requirements for a four-credit internship are:
- Supervision by a professional at the site and by a full-time faculty member in the Department of Art and Art History.
- Ten to twelve hours a week of work on the internship (including research and work time away from the internship site).
- Emphasis on professional rather than clerical work, although there might be some routine work.
- A personal project on which the student works throughout the semester, in addition to assisting with day-to-day activities.
- A journal kept by the student recording the activities of the internship and reflections on them, on the institution, on the larger context of the work, on readings, etc. The journal is not only a record, but also evidence and means for academic learning.
- Evaluation of the internship done jointly by the supervisor at the site and the faculty advisor, based on conversations with the student, the journal (usually read only by the faculty member) and evidence of the student's contributions (e.g. catalogue entries, collected data, brochure design, an exhibition, etc.).
Internships are usually arranged through the Department of Art and Art History. Any student interested in interning should first speak to a faculty member. Some institutions, such as the Strong Museum, have a formal application procedure, but in most cases arrangements are worked out by the student, faculty advisor, and person at the internship site. Since many departments within an institution will take only one intern a semester, preference is given to more advanced students. Competence in art history/visual culture or studio art is necessary and in some cases a specific background in an area, such as the history of photography, may be required.

Do Americans appreciate the military?
- 4:48 pm Tuesday, November 16th, 2010 by Opinion Staff
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan didn't stir much controversy in this month's elections. Americans haven't really been asked to sacrifice financially to support the military – most of the billions spent have been borrowed.
Still less have most Americans had to sacrifice anything more personal and important. Unless a loved one is serving abroad, thoughts of most Americans don't dwell on what's happening in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Let Tuesday's ceremony honoring Medal Of Honor recipient Salvatore A. Giunta serve as a vivid reminder of the sacrifice and bravery demanded every day from members of the armed forces.

Following a close second are New Jerseyans while people from Arkansas are the worst, tipping only about 10 percent on average, according to a new survey by CouponCodes4U.com
"Tipping should be for excellent service, not mandatory and with the majority of consumers claiming that they would prefer a new way of paying for their eating out experiences, perhaps it is time to have a frank discussion about America's tipping culture," Mark Pearson, chairman of CouponCodes4u.com, said in a press release.

In his piece,"Beware of Little Exceptions," Professor Joel Gora argues that the famous principle of free thought, "not free thought for those who agree with us but freedom for the thought that we hate" has informed the importance of U.S. Constitutional tolerance of messages that "most of us find intolerable and unacceptable, but which we must tolerate and accept because even more unacceptable is letting the government decide which ideas are acceptable and which are not."
The New York Times Opinion Section's Room for Debate, which maintains a running commentary on recent news, explored the political spending case Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission.

In his contribution to the Room for Debate discussion "Restoring Free Speech in Elections," Professor Joel Gora, who has a long history with the ACLU, applauded the decision. He explained that by invalidating the ban, "the Court emphasized what no one seriously disputes: the primary purpose of the First Amendment's guarantees of freedom of speech, press, assembly and petition is to enhance democracy by insuring an informed electorate capable of self-government."

Reggie Bush Backtracks Over Previous Comments..
[size=20px]Bush to Saints: 'We have to have fair offer'[/size]
[size=8px]By Len Pastabelli
Although he reiterated his intention to be in his first NFL training camp on time, New Orleans Saints first-round draft choice and reigning Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush delivered a not-so-subtle message to Saints officials over the weekend:
Negotiations are a two-way street, and it's time for everyone to take the on-ramp to the bargaining table.
"I'm a competitor and a football player, and so, yeah, naturally, I want to be in camp on time," Bush told ESPN.com. "My goal is to be in there and to start doing my part to bring a Super Bowl championship to New Orleans. That's what I want. But I have an agent and I have faith in Joel [Segal] to handle that end of things for me. … [And] he knows we have to have a fair offer, one that meets our expectations."
Bush will likely command No. 1-level dollars despite going No. 2 in the draft.
The comment wasn't so much a repudiation of the stance Bush took during the Saints' recent minicamp as it was a clarification of those remarks.
At the minicamp May 13-15, Bush said it is "very important" to have his contract completed before training camp opens, and he noted that he apprised Segal to do "whatever it takes" to accomplish that goal.
"I don't want to get caught up in holdouts and things like that," Bush said at minicamp. "I think it is important to start off on a good foot and a good note -- not only with the team, but with the city."
Bush over the weekend did not back away from those remarks, which garnered disproportionate national attention, given that they were typical of what most rookies would say if queried about contract negotiations.
"In terms of my [desire] to have my contract finished and to be at camp on time, nothing has changed [from minicamp], not at all," Bush said.
But contract negotiations often get in the way of training camp reporting dates, as evidenced last summer when 23 of 32 first-round selections missed at least one day of camp practice because of contract impasses, and the Saints and Bush's representative have yet to commence bargaining. And so Bush's desire for an on-time camp arrival still must be reconciled by dollars and sense.
Other than allowing that he wants a contract which is "fair for everyone involved," Bush did not address in detail his financial expectations. But it is fair to assume that, as the second overall choice in the draft, Bush will seek a deal that approximates, and perhaps in some ways surpasses, the six-year, $54 million contract that the Houston Texans awarded defensive end Mario Williams, the draft's top pick.
After spending much of the weekend in Los Angeles at a league-related trading card photo shoot, Bush flew back to New Orleans on Sunday to resume working with Saints veterans in organized team activities. He said he is looking forward to being able to return to the practice field. The strained left hamstring that he sustained during the initial workout of the rookie minicamp is healing well, and Bush estimated he will be back on the field in about a week.
The former Southern California star, who never missed a college game because of an injury and who had never encountered even slight tightness in his hamstring, conceded he was stunned by the experience.
"I mean, I said to myself, 'What is this?' because I'd never had anything like it before," Bush said. "Really, I couldn't believe it. I was in a little bit of shock for a few minutes, like, 'My body has never let me down like this before.' But it'll be fine. It feels so much better already. And I appreciate the way the Saints have handled it and all the treatments the trainers have done with me. I'm just about over it but, I'm grateful that everyone has been so understanding and cautious with the thing."
Bush said he benefited from taking "mental reps" during the minicamp sessions, and he lauded first-year coach Sean Payton and his staff for keeping him focused, but Bush reiterated he is anxious to log some "live" snaps. At the rookie sessions, Bush made it through the first practice and then participated mostly in walk-through drills. Even with his curtailed workload, Saints coaches agreed that Bush's feel for the game and the grace and facility with which he does things were impressive.
Bush called his reception in hurricane-ravaged New Orleans, where he has been embraced by fans as the savior of the Saints franchise, "overwhelming," and Bush said he intends to expand upon the charitable endeavors he has already begun in the city. Of his ongoing battle to wear his familiar uniform No. 5 in the NFL, he noted that the decision is out of his hands and that there is nothing new to report. There could be a resolution of the uniform matter this week, with owners scheduled to meet in Denver on Tuesday.
Perhaps because he has yet to work with the veterans in on-field drills, Bush said the speed of the game, the biggest difference nearly every rookie cites in making the transition to the NFL, hasn't really affected him. And he has been able, he emphasized, to stay on top of the mental aspects of the New Orleans offense, which was relatively rudimentary during the rookie minicamp.
"So far, except for the hamstring, so good," Bush said. "I know there's still a lot more to come, but I think I'm doing a pretty good job with the playbook. I just want to get out there are starting [applying] all of this mental stuff to the field. To me, that's what being a competitor is all about."
So Reggie has finally been pushed into giving his agent some leverage in the upcoming contract negotiations by saying he won't sacrifice some cash money for time at camp.

Saints | Bush tells team contract offer has to be fair
Mon, 22 May 2006 06:00:48 -0700
ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli reports New Orleans Saints rookie RB Reggie Bush earlier made his intention to be signed on time for training camp known. He also delivered a not-so-subtle message to Saints officials over the weekend: Negotiations are a two-way street, and it's time for everyone to take the on-ramp to the bargaining table. "I'm a competitor and a football player, and so, yeah, naturally, I want to be in camp on time," Bush told ESPN.com.

Re: Reggie Bush Backtracks Over Previous Comments..
[size=20px]SEGAL SETTING REGGIE UP FOR A HOLDOUT?[/size]
[size=8px]Mike Florio
PFT Rumormill[/size]
Agent Joel Segal has a problem. His highest-profile client, Reggie Bush, knows that he can't afford to come off of as greedy regarding the extent to which his guaranteed football money exceeds $20 million, since many of the Loozianans who'll be cheering from him come September are still pooping in plastic pots. But Segal is at the same time notorious for not doing a first-round deal until his client is bracketed by the packages paid to the player in front of him, and behind him.
So with Bush recently declaring that he doesn't want to be a holdout, Segal is doing his best to foment a little resentment between Reggie and the Saints.
In a spoon-fed interview to ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli (who only beats the bushes after dropping a cheeseburger into them), Bush lays the foundation (perhaps unwittingly) for a contract rhubarb by proclaiming that, while he doesn't want to miss training camp, "we have to have a fair offer, one that meets our expectations."
So which is it, Reg? Because whether the offer is "fair" and whether it "meets [your] expectations" are two very different propositions.
Also included in Pasquarelli's article is a suggestion that Bush wants to start the process of negotiating his contract now. The only problem with this statement is that it isn't attributed to Reggie as a direct (or indirect) quote.
Our guess is that the concept of premature negotiation was planted by Segal, who knows full well that the Saints aren't inclined to sign Bush any time soon. First of all, teams typically don't have the kind of cash flow in May or June that is necessary to support the issuance of big checks. This reality applies even more forcefully to the Saints, who are run by one of the cheapest owners in all of sport. Second, most teams prefer to push the process of signing draft picks into July, with work beginning in earnest after the annual celebration of an nation-building exercise that turned out far better than our current efforts in that regard.
What does Segal gain through this approach? It makes it easier for him to argue to Bush that the team isn't participating fairly and adequately in the process. "Reggie," Joel might say in the near future, "we made it clear to the Saints that we want to work something out now, and they're dragging their feet."
It also might make it easier for Reggie to win the looming P.R. battle if a holdout ultimately is required, since Reggie can then supply a stream of sound bites supporting the notion that it was the team, not Segal, that forced the holdout by delaying the commencement of the process by two months.
Our advice to the Saints? Call Segal's bluff. Send him a letter inviting him to the table right now, and say all the right things aimed at making Bush believe that the team is willing to work hard in the short term to get a deal done.
In response, Segal will sputter. He'll stall. He'll freeze. Because there's no way in hell that Segal will allow Bush to do a deal until Vince Young inks a contract at No. 3 with the Tennessee Titans.
Why, you aks? Because Segal is sufficiently insecure about his ability to negotiate a solid deal that he'll be paralyzed by the fear that Young will end up getting a better contract than Bush despite being picked one spot lower.
The other intriguing dynamic at play here is that, while Segal is most likely willing to tolerate a holdout, Bush's marketing agent, Mike Ornstein, most likely isn't. If Bush misses time and then loses the P.R. war, his potential for off-field earnings will take, at a minimum, a short-term hit. And that, in turn, will affect Ornstein's booty.
Our guess is that, for now, Segal and Ornstein are on the same page as to the approach. Things will get very interesting, however, if the Saints react by making objectively "fair" offers, since it most likely will prompt Segal to stick his head in the sand.
Re: Reggie Bush Backtracks Over Previous Comments..
The saint should just step up and pay the kid, they have momentum for their franchise and they are gonna screw it up, because they are the saunts.
Re: Reggie Bush Backtracks Over Previous Comments..
and if this hamstring injury hinders him to be the best back ever? do you still pay him the money?....i dont know. you dont ever want to throw money at an IF. and untill hes on the field proving he is, he is a questionmark, much like most draft picks.
Re: Reggie Bush Backtracks Over Previous Comments..
his slot and hype demand that they will have to pay him a certain, ballpark figure, and they need to be operating within that. they will have to pay him eventually, why not just get him into camp and avoid the hassel? remember, the more they pay him, the more everyone else will have to pay their picks, so they would be screwing everyone else, too.
Re: Reggie Bush Backtracks Over Previous Comments..
Not our worry.. He plays for the Saints, and we watch the Vikings. Personally I couldn't care less what goes on with him and the Saints. If he gets the big payday, good for him. If he doesn't, oh well their loss not ours.

A 29-year-old man has been arrested after leaving his young children unattended at his Temple home. The incident happened on Saturday at a home in the 2900 block of W. Avenue R.
A witness called police to them that two children were left unattended outside of the home. The youngest child was found near the roadway and the other child was on the porch.
The witness tried to knock on the door to return the children, but no one came to answer.
About an hour after receiving the initial report the children's father, Vincent Alonzo Corson, arrived at the scene. He told authorities that he had left the children at home alone while he went to get them something to eat.
Corson was charged with abandoning or endangering a child with intent to return. He was arrested by the Temple Police Department without incident later that day.
