Full upright and locked position: Not-so-comfortable truths about air travel today
Mark Gerchick's new book, "Full Upright and Locked Position: Not-So-Comfortable Truths about Air Travel Today," tells why airports have delays, hidden fees, and security checks.
Have you ever wondered why there are so many delays at the airport? Or why you seem to have less and less space in your seat on the plane? Mark Gerchick, former counsel for the Federal Aviation Administration, explains how flying has become such a stressful, uncomfortable and expensive experience in his book "Full Upright and Locked Position."
In the book, Gerchick discusses what he calls "the new normal" of air travel and the changes that have been made to the industry following the September 11th attacks. Higher fuel costs and increased security led to more fees and delays for passengers. Gerchick's book gives airline passengers an idea of what really goes on behind the scenes at airports.

Patrick Vallencant
Patrick Vallençant (June 9, 1946 in Lyon - March 28, 1989) was a French alpinist/skier and pioneer in ski mountaineering. He was a pioneer in ski mountaineering and leader of the French school of ski mountaineers. His motto was: "si tu tombes, tu meurs", translated as "you fall, you die". In addition to numerous first descents, he was responsible for the creation of the "Peddle Step Turn" and co-founded the Degré 7 ski apparel company. He died on March 28, 1989, in a non-skiing related climbing accident as a result of a broken carabiner, while abseiling from the top of La Beaume Rouge, in France. Vallençant became known for a number of first descents on skis within the French Alps that had previously been considered too steep to ski. To achieve this he developed a ski technique known as the "Peddle Step Turn." His feats required him to first climb the mountain in order to make the descent on skis, at the time it was uncommon to use helicopters to reach the top. His climbing and skiing partner for many of these first descents was Anselme Baud. In achieving this he took up the mantel of Sylvain Saudan ("Le Skieur de l'Impossible") (French Wiki, Sylvain Saudan) and was a contemporary  ( Wikipedia article )

VATICAN CITY (AP) - Pope Francis on Friday cleared Pope John Paul II for sainthood, approving a miracle attributed to his intercession and setting up a remarkable dual canonization along with another beloved pope, John XXIII.
In a major demonstration of his papal authority, Francis decided to make John XXIII a saint even though the Vatican hasn't confirmed a second miracle attributed to his intercession. The Vatican said Francis had the power to dispense with the normal saint-making procedures to canonize John on his own merits.
To anyone who has been paying attention, Francis' decision to canonize both should come as no surprise: He was made a cardinal by John Paul and is very much a pope of the Second Vatican Council, the ground-breaking church meetings that brought the Catholic Church into the modern world which John XXIII opened a year before his death in 1963.
The council opened the church to people of other faiths and allowed for Mass to be celebrated in the languages of the faithful, rather than Latin.
John Paul, who was pope from 1978-2005, revolutionized the papacy, traveling the world and inspiring a generation of young Catholics to be excited about their faith. He was the first Polish pope and the first non-Italian in 455 years - a legacy that continued with the German-born Benedict XVI and Francis.
On the anniversary of John Paul's death this year, Francis prayed at the tombs of both John Paul and John XXIII - an indication that he sees a great personal and spiritual continuity in them.
Benedict spent much of his pontificate trying to correct what he considered wrong interpretations of Vatican II, insisting it wasn't the break from the past that liberals believed.
While not disagreeing outright with Benedict, Francis seems to take a more progressive read of Vatican II and its call to go out into the world and spread the faith - a priority he has shown in the first months of his pontificate.
The canonization ceremony is expected before the end of the year.
Polish media on Friday continued to press for an October canonization, to mark the 35th anniversary of John Paul's 1978 election, but Vatican officials have said that's too soon to organize such a massive event. Dec. 8, the feast of the Immaculate Conception, a major feast day for the church, has also been floated as a possibility.
The canonization nnouncement came shortly after the release of Francis' first encyclical, a meditation on faith that is unique because it was written with someone else: Benedict XVI.
Benedict's hand is evident throughout much of the first three chapters of "The Light of Faith," with his theological style, concerns and reference points clear.
Francis' priorities come through strongest in the final chapter, where the Argentine Jesuit insists on the role of faith in serving the common good and giving hope to those who suffer. It includes his first clear statement as pope on marriage being a union between man and woman with the aim of creating children.
The encyclical didn't appear to break new ground in church teaching; its novelty was entirely in the dual authorship, and that it was the first of Francis' nascent pontificate.
The Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, confirmed that the miracle that brought John Paul to the ranks of sainthood concerned a Costa Rican woman.
The Spanish newspaper La Razon has identified her as Floribeth Mora, and said she suffered from a cerebral aneurism that was inexplicably cured on May 1, 2011 - the day of John Paul's beatification, when 1.5 million people filled St. Peter's Square to honor the beloved Polish pontiff.
La Razon reported last month that Mora awoke with debilitating head pain on April 8 and went to the hospital, where her condition worsened to the point that she was sent home with only a month to live.
Her family prayed to John Paul, and the aneurism disappeared.
La Razon quoted her doctor, Dr. Alejandro Vargas, as saying: "It surprised me a lot that the aneurism disappeared, I can't explain it based on science."
The Associated Press has traveled to Mora's home in Costa Rica but has been told that she is bound by secrecy and cannot discuss her case.
The Vatican's complicated saint-making procedure requires that the Vatican certify a "miracle" was performed through the intercession of the candidate - a medically inexplicable cure that is lasting, immediate and can be directly linked to the prayers offered by the faithful. One miracle is needed for beatification, a second for canonization.
Then-Pope Benedict XVI put John Paul on the fast track for possible sainthood when he dispensed with the traditional five-year waiting period and allowed the beatification process to begin weeks after his John Paul's death. Benedict was responding to chants of "Santo Subito!" or "Sainthood Immediately" which erupted during John Paul's funeral.
There is some concern that the process has been too quick. Some of the Holy See's deep-seated problems - clerical sex abuse, dysfunctional governance and more recently the financial scandals at the Vatican bank - essentially date from shortcomings of his pontificate.
Thus the decision to canonize John Paul along with John XXIII can be seen as trying to balance those concerns.
Such was the case in 2000, when John Paul beatified John XXIII, dubbed the "good pope," alongside Pope Pius IX, who was criticized by Jews for condoning the seizure of a Jewish boy and allegedly referring to Jews as dogs.
Asked how John XXIII, elected in 1958, could be canonized without a second miracle, Lombardi insisted that many theologians believe that isn't required and that a canonization can take place based on the first miracle required for beatification. He said Francis had approved a decision by the cardinals and bishops of the Vatican's saint-making office.
"Certainly the pope has the power, in a certain sense, to dispense of the second miracle in a cause, and this is what happened," Lombardi said.
He stressed that this decision didn't represent any relaxing of the Vatican's overall standards for canonization, but represented a unique situation, given that the church this year is marking the 50th anniversary of Vatican II.
"John XXIII is someone who we know is beloved in the church, we're in the 50th anniversary of the Council which he started, and I don't think any of us have any doubts about his virtues," Lombardi said.
In Poland, the reaction was overjoyed, as expected.
Rev. Kazimierz Sowa, the head of Religion TV channel, said on TVN that Poles are expected to flood to Rome for the ceremony.
"John Paul II was extremely popular during his lifetime and he still continues to inspire people," Sowa said. But he insisted that an October date was preferable, to accommodate the throngs expected at the outdoor ceremony.
"In their interest, I think we should expect the canonization in the fall," he said.

Peanut, the dog that was confiscated by authorities after being found frozen to the ground earlier this month in Jasper, Indiana, will be going to his new forever home this weekend.
"The people who will be adopting Peanut did not know of his story when they saw him and fell in love, which we think makes it more special," Mary Saalman, executive director of the Dubois County Humane Society told Pet360. "Peanut is very healthy and happy; he has been staying with his foster mom all of this time so that he could recuperate in a home setting. He is spunky, smart and full of life."
An anonymous caller tipped Dubois County sheriff's deputies to dogs outside in a yard during a particularly cold night just after New Year's.
When deputies arrived to investigate, they found Peanut literally frozen to the ground. It took about ½ hour for the deputy to use warm water to help release Peanut. Since the incident, 50-year-old George Kimmel and 55-year-old Dorothy Kimmel, have been charged with animal neglect.
Peanut was found with another dog that was chained to a pole, but the owners immediately took that dog in and the police officers could not confiscate the other animals in the house, pursuant to Indiana law, which states the dogs must be in imminent danger.
However, the Dubois County Humane Society worked with residents at the home and they eventually relinquished three more dogs to the organization's care.
The humane society now needs help in placing those dogs, which all appear to be mixed breeds. "It's sad to say, but going through the horrible abuse Peanut did probably saved his life and not only found Peanut a wonderful forever home, but also helped three of his friends to be removed from this home, as well," Saalman said. "We certainly hope that people will step up to adopt Shera, Janelle and Suzy as they did for Peanut. We were at capacity when we removed these dogs from their home, we have had to pay fees to have them boarded until we can adopt out more animals in our facility and make room to bring them in. They are all very sweet little dogs with very gentle personalities."
Peanut's ordeal not only saved his life and three other dog siblings, but may have helped saved other countless animals as well. Saalman says the publicity to the plight of dogs left outside has brought a lot of awareness from the community.
"Since Peanut's story broke, we have been working many neglect cases of dogs being left without adequate food, water and shelter, even resulting in confiscation of another dog," Saalman said. "We hope that Peanut's story has also helped to bring more awareness about the needs of outdoor pets throughout our country during this very cold winter."

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (UT Release) - The Vols used hot shooting early on and gritty defense throughout to post a 76-67 win over Kennesaw State on Friday night. Skylar McBee and Jordan McRae led the Vols with 14 points apiece. Kenny Hall (13) and Jarnell Stokes (10) also scored in double-figures as the Vols won their 14th straight season opener. The Vols are now 24-2 all-time in home openers at Thompson-Boling Arena, winning the last 21 home debuts.
Tennessee (1-0) shot 60.5 percent from the floor (26-of-43) for the game including 70.8 in the first half. The Vols were a crisp 7-of-12 from beyond the arc thanks to strong 3-point shooting efforts from McBee (4-of-7) and McRae (3-of-4).
Kennesaw (0-1) battled the Vols til the end and closed a 27-point deficit to the final margin of nine. The Owls were led by Aaron Anderson (16 points and 12 rebounds) and Delbert Love, who also had 16.
The Vols opened the second half on a 12-1 run to bust open the game and take a commanding 54-31 lead on a 3-point play (dunk and free throw) by McRae with 14:37 left in the game. The margin jumped to that game-high 27 points on the first Vol points from D'Montre Edwards, whose layup with 11:49 left in the game made it 61-34. Kennesaw closed the game on a 33-15 spurt.
Tennessee lead the Owls, 42-30, at halftime thanks to some remarkable shooting from the floor. The Vols made 70.8 percent from the floor (17-of-24). Hall and McRae led the Vols with eight points.
Kennesaw battled the Vols close throughout the first half as Tennessee was unable to pull away early. McBee's second 3-pointer of the first half opened a nine-point lead at 30-21 with 5:17 left in the half. The Vols continued to expand the margin as McRae canned a 3-pointer late in the half.
The Vols used an 8-0 run to take a 10-4 lead on a Josh Richardson dunk, 5:22 into the first half.
Tennessee heads to the Puerto Rico Tip-Off in Bayamon, P.R. The Vols will open the event against UNC-Asheville on Nov. 16 at 12:30 p.m. That game will air on ESPNU and can be heard on the Vol Network.

And Florida is Still Counting
Okay, you just gotta wonder if Florida will get the votes counted in time for the inauguration.
Florida will not finish counting thousands of absentee ballots until sometime Thursday, according to Miami-Dade County Elections Supervisor Penelope Tounsley, reports the Miami Herald.
As of Wednesday morning, elections staffers still had 20,000 absentee ballots to put through a tedious counting process.
Here's my bet: Florida has purposefully and officially seceded from Presidential politics. I say we take their 29 electoral votes and donate them the Hurricane Sandy relief efforts.
Okay, take a guess — is this election vote counting in Florida or Kyrgyzstan?
Yeah, Florida, you got it together.

Quoted from Brighid45
Twinnie, you can get beet-juice pickled eggs at just about any deli here. I'm not that fond of them, but the homemade kind are okay.
Quoted from Brighid45
As for birch beer, the formula has been messed with so now it has HFCS in it , but if you go to events like the Kutztown Folk Festival in the summer you can often get homemade birch beer, and it's delicious!
Quoted from Brighid45
"Cherry wishniak (cherry soda) has also been adulterated with HFCS, much to my disgust. Wishniak is delicious when made properly--it's like sparkling all-cherry cider, just fantastic."
Quoted from Brig
As for Snyder's pretzels and Gibbles potato chips, all I can say is, they are delicious as a special holiday treat once a year or so.

NETWORK believes that global economic justice requires fair trade [1] policies.
U.S. bilateral and regional trade agreements [2]—agreements founded on the concept of free trade—have unevenly benefited people and in some settings constrained economic development among the millions of people who live in poverty.
An additional concern globally is the adverse impact on numerous developing nations of the decline in the value of their currencies as well as the decrease in the amount of money sent back by their overseas workers. This combination could create economic instability in many regions and could have a negative impact on global security.

Rahm Emanuel celebrates a record graduation rate
By RAHM EMANUEL Daily Splash columnist June 10, 2012 9:20PM
Rahm Emanuel's Da Mayor
Updated: July 12, 2012 6:07AM
It was commencement weekend in Chicago and this year we have a lot to celebrate. For the first time on record, Chicago Public Schools have achieved higher than a 60 percent graduation rate. A higher percentage of those graduates are enrolling in college next year than in any year since CPS started keeping records. I had the honor of speaking to the Class of 2012 at Morgan Park High School where 80 percent of seniors are graduating, as well as at Golder College Prep where 100 percent of seniors are graduating.
This year's record graduation rate demonstrates that when you give teachers the tools, time and techniques they need, there's no limit to what Chicago's students can achieve.
To anyone who doubts that every school in every neighborhood can achieve excellence, I want them to see what I saw this weekend at Christ the King Jesuit Prep in Austin. In a neighborhood where less than half of kids finish high school and even fewer go off to college, 100 percent of Christ the King's seniors are graduating and 100 percent of them are going to college.
In a neighborhood plagued by one the city's highest rates of drug-related violent crime, a school that is 99 percent African-American and 1 percent Hispanic is sending each one of its seniors to great colleges like DePaul, Marquette, the University of Illinois and many more.
I first visited Christ the King last year on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, before I was elected mayor. I wanted to visit specifically on that holiday because, in my view, equality of education is one of the great civil rights issues of our time. Nowhere do you feel a greater sense of Dr. King's "fierce urgency of now" than at Christ the King.
When you walk outside that school building in Austin, you see the boards on the houses, and crime on the streets and liquor stores where there should be grocery stores. When you walk inside that building, you see college banners on the wall, students on the honor roll and teachers on a mission. I saw that the potential inside that building was far more powerful than any of the problems outside. My goal is for every student in every neighborhood to have the equality that comes from a quality education. Against big obstacles and long odds, Christ the King is achieving that goal.
At the end of my visit, I told the school's president, Father Devron, that if he was able to graduate every one of his seniors, then, win or lose in the mayoral campaign, I wanted to come speak at the graduation. This weekend I got my wish.
My message to the graduates was simple. They had every excuse available for why they couldn't graduate or go to college. But instead of settling for other's people's easy excuses, they set their own high expectations. Their accomplishment this weekend stands as a rebuke to anyone who adopts a cynical attitude about what the students of Chicago, even in the roughest neighborhoods, can accomplish.
To all the naysayers who just write-off certain kids from ever graduating high school, I want them to come to a school like Christ the King and say that. To anyone who casually says that because of his or her background a kid can't go to a great college, I want them to come to Christ the King and say that. And to anyone who says that teachers just can't succeed in certain neighborhoods, or certain schools, or with certain kids — I want them to come to Christ the King and say that to the teachers and staff. I'm confident of what their response would be.
100 percent of those students are going to college because they have given 100 percent of themselves. They proved themselves, and they proved that success depends on two essential things: a parent at home who loves them unconditionally and a teacher at school at school who believes in them wholeheartedly.
You can see that basic formula working across the city. If we can double-down, then we can achieve another record CPS graduation rate next year.

A familiar face will swear in the city's next mayor.
Former President Bill Clinton will preside over Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio's inauguration ceremony on New Year's Day.
De Blasio has a long history with Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
He served as regional director at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development during the Clinton administration, and he was also the campaign manager for Hillary Clinton's Senate run in 2000.
President Clinton will swear in de Blasio on the steps of City Hall using a Bible once owned by Franklin Delano Roosevelt, another former president who is also a former governor of New York.
In a press release, Bill de Blasio said, "I was honored to serve in President Clinton's Administration and on Secretary Clinton's campaign for U.S. Senate, and I am honored again that they will both join our celebration for all of New York City...Wednesday's ceremony will be an event for every New Yorker from all five boroughs, and Chirlane and I couldn't be more excited to have President Clinton and Secretary Clinton stand with us."

oh god what the frak is this shit? nightmare fuel!
there are worse things to have a dungeon made out of, and after looking at it for a bit, it seems to be that pink insulation stuff you can find in your basement's ceiling or in your attic. Only it got wet… big time.
Way to ruin it guys. Thanks a lot.
And by my previous comment, I meant: "MEEEEEEAT FFEEAR THE MEAT DUNGEON AND DEMONS YOU PUNY PISSANT MORTAL!!!"
Looks like a crawl space under a building, and the Owens pink fiberglass insulation is wet and falling down onto the black plastic, which is code to reduce or eliminate condensation.
so you think it's not really meat growing on the ceiling? You don't say.
not really appropriate use of that technique dude.
might be wrong but that just looks like wet insullation in a flooded basement disused basement.
I was imagining bodies under that tarp and blood oozing from the grate on the wall. Then we had to start with this insulation nonsense…
Meat Dungeon sounds a lot better than Wet Insulation Dungeon.
Looks like huge strips of bacon and smoked ham to me.
Looks like one of my old… Ah… Nevermind.
Mmm, Beiken..
Meat Dungeon sounds like a dodgy porno title.
Also, reminds me of Slither. And that bit in Dragon Age. Aaand..
pretty much the best bit in dragon age
largely because you could leave allistairs boring ass back in orzimmar
It looks a alot like the crawl space of my old house. I found out the hard way after a week of rain that my lot was the lowest point in my neighborhood.

text: Hey everyone, I am having a tough time with my boyfriend, and need some advice. I am an emotional eater, and battle with turning to food for many reasons other than hunger. I started exploring this so I could find healthier supports other than food to cope with my problems and stress. I experienced a 75 lb weight loss 5 years ago. Since then I have kept 60lbs of it off, but I still struggle with emotional eating. When I was single, the reason to loose weight was for me and only me. I could take my time learning why I ate out of emotion. I wasn't trying to fill a void with food, but instead acknowledged my void, give it attention, and feel the feelings that came along with it. Surprisingly when I was able to face feelings, food was the last thing I wanted to comfort me, and weight loss was a nice side effect. I met Ian, and was happily distracted by love, and platoed. Unfortunately I stopped giving time and attention to myself the way I did before, and I not only stopped losing weight, but I've gained some back too. This has set me back in terms of self esteem. Problems have occurred between us and our personal life. I get self-conscious, and insecure. He has expressed that it would benefit our relationship if I was happier with my body, and didn't struggle so much with food. He hasn't suggested I try being happy at the weight I am, because he's heard me say so many times how much I hate the way I look, I hate having to buy bigger clothes, and I wish I felt better. He is very athletic, and has been honest when I ask, telling me that he is attracted to women who are more in shape. He constantly tells me that he would never want me to be extreme with weight loss, or be unhealthy and swing the other side of the scale, but being attracted to the woman he is with is something he needs, and he does need me to try and loose weight, especially knowing the weight I carry is because of psychological reasons. But when he suggests I loose weight to fix these things, I immediately feel rejected by him, and tell him it hurts me to feel I have to loose weight for him. The problem is I am trying to prove that if Ian accepted me at 215lbs, then I would accept me. But of coarse that isn't happening. Being distracted by his feelings about my body and putting him on the spot insisting that he never want me to change, has been a huge distraction so I don't have to focus on my behavior, or put the hard work into weight loss. I'm molding my experiences in life of not being accepted because of my weight with him. I tell him all I want is for someone to never need that from me, and that whatever I want to do with my body is ok. It's like I need to experience someone accepting my body 100%. It's a catch 22, because the reason someone hasn't accepted my body 100%, is because I don't. Since he doesn't understand the disorder I have completely, he can only try to support me, but be honest about his needs, which I immediately take as rejection, and resent him. Last night he asked me if he should move out for a while and give me time to figure out what I want in terms of my health and weight on my own like I did before. This scares me because he's never suggested separating before. I don't want to lose him, but I don't want to loose weight to keep him either. How do I achieve goals for me, even though I know he would prefer I loose weight? How do I accept that loosing weight will satisfy his needs, and not have that trigger an emotional cascade that puts me in such distress that I resent him, and ultimately end up sabotaging myself out of spite? Any of your thoughts would be appreciated.

Barack Obama: 'I go shooting all the time'
President Barack Obama has claimed that he goes shooting "all the time", while attempting to reassure American gun-owners that he respects their rights to use firearms.
Amid conservative anger over Mr Obama's proposals to ban assault weapons as part of a drastic overhaul of US gun control laws, the president said that he was a keen clay-pigeon shooter.
Asked in a magazine interview whether he had ever fired a gun, Mr Obama said he did so with guests at the president's rural retreat.
"Up at Camp David, we do skeet shooting all the time," he said. "And I have a profound respect for the traditions of hunting that trace back in this country for generations.
"And I think those who dismiss that out of hand make a big mistake".
Mr Obama's plans for tighter firearms regulations were drawn up by Joe Biden, his vice-president, following the massacre of 26 people, including 20 young pupils at a primary school in Connecticut last month.
Mr Biden – whose proposals also include a background check system on all Americans trying to buy guns and a 10-shot limit for ammunition clips – has been quick to note that he owns a shotgun.
The president, however, rarely speaks personally about firearms, and is dismissed by many enthusiasts as an elite urban law professor who does not appreciate America's heritage of gun ownership.
He accepted in his interview that gun culture in rural areas was "very different" to that in urban areas, such as his home town of Chicago, where it is more frequently linked to serious crime.
"If you grew up and your dad gave you a hunting rifle when you were 10, and you went out and spent the day with him and your uncles, and that became part of your family's traditions, you can see why you'd be pretty protective of that," Mr Obama told The New Republic.

"Uhhh…ummm…can I get me a huntin' license here? and some a them bullet shells?"+6
Yes, he shoots shit at the American people and holes in the Constitution. lying sack of Marxist pus.Noteworthy Comment +13
Oh, BFH, this is just crying for an image. Sort of like his girly-girl throwing out the first pitch. I can't imagine what it would look like, though. How does one shoot with a limp wrist?
And I really believe he goes shooting all the time. Sure he does. Uh-huh. NOT!+7
FLASHBACK: Camp David's Infrequent Visitor.
You have to laugh.+9
He respects the framers intention of a second amendment as a safeguard against tyrannical skeets.Noteworthy Comment +13
He's a liar. He can't tell the truth. It is an insult to people who try to live their lives in righteousness to put up with this liar running his mouth all the time. He is of his father, the devil.Noteworthy Comment +14
lol Mackdaddy, ya think any of the MSM stenographers will ask him what his favorite shootin' iron is at the next press conference?
Oh, that's right… he has even fewer press conferences than trips to Camp David.+7
Oh! You're pro-hunting! I guess I'm not upset that you're trampling on my gun rights anymore now!+6
"And I think those who dismiss that out of hand make a big mistake". Obama
NO, the only mistake is that a whole buncha dumbasses elected you in the first place and then got even dumber and reelected you.
There is one word for you Ovomit!
"And I have a profound respect for the traditions of hunting that trace back in this country for generations."
Too bad thats got nuthin to do with the second amendment there skippy.
Now go let Bo cover you up in the Rose Garden like a nice little turd.Noteworthy Comment +14
According to the White House website, cigarettes are not allowed at Camp David. So nope, I seriously doubt he spends any time there.Noteworthy Comment +10
I guess hunting was instinctively bred into him since his father had to hunt a wildebeest with to rocks to put on the table for supper as a boy.+4
Yeah, right. And sometimes I eat Kobe beef and wear a twelve thousand dollar dress.
What a lying ass hole.Noteworthy Comment +13
So he squeezes in a little skeet shooting in between rounds of golf? Does the guy ever do any work?
I wish he'd take Dick Cheney out skeet shooting with him sometime. Cheney knows what to do with lawyers.+9
Shooting s**t? Shooting baskets? Shooting his wad as Reggie Love?
I'm sure Junior does a lot of shooting.+5
When did "skeet shooting" become slang for picking up strange men in gay bars?Noteworthy Comment +15
Total lie. I'm with NoMoBo, I'd love to see him shooting a shotgun. Probably a pink 410 with his logo on the stock.
Hips forward, huge oversize ear protection and golf gloves on.+6
But, but, Noelegy, Michelle said he guit smoking in 2010!
She was really pissed off at Boehner for joking about it.
You can' t possibly believe she would lie about that.
It's to the point where they're convinced their supporters will believe anything that makes it out of their pie hole.
I think they've severely underestimated the number of non-supporters.+5
Sorry Bathhouse Barry, but playing butt darts with another man does not count as shooting+6
Skeet" is actually a form of birth control practiced by the African-American tribes of North America near the beginning of the 21st Centruy. Visionaries of the time (such as Lil Jon and Nelly) recognized the inevitable and everpresent danger of overpopulation in their land and decided to take action. They discovered an ancient form of birth control used by their ancestors that involved "pulling out and shooting" (much like skeet shooting) during sexual intercourse, as to not impregnate the female, or "biatch". The visionaries spread the word the only way they knew how: rap music. People would listen to the songs of the visionaries during ritual smoking ceremonies and chant "skeet skeet skeet!". Every tribe of their kind in the land listened to rap music and the idea of skeeting quickly gained in popularity. Soon, the entire African-American tribe had done its part to offset the effects of overpopulation through generations of skeeting on the women that they did not wish to impregnate. However, the other tribes of the land (most notabley, the Whites and Mexicans) did not support the "Skeet Movement". They continued to grow in number until the Whites eventually ate the Mexicans. The Whites, however, refused to eat the African-Americans for fear of sickle cell anemia, so they all got on a very large boat and went back to England.
"Excuse me, I didn't catch your name, but would you mind if I skeeted on you? Seeing as how we just met and all, I am not fully convinced that you would make a good mother, so I am electing not to ejaculate inside of you. Let me go get you a towel."0
"So, Mr. President…after you shoot these skeets, do you dress them yourself?"+6
"Ummm, no, Norman, my chef dresses them. I'm goin' on a snipe hunt next weekend…can't wait to taste one. They tell me it tastes like dog."+4
I'll predict the White House rushes some "skeet shooting" photographs to the media before the end of the week as "proof" he knows what end of the gun to hold.+3
They will be about as genuine as his BC.+1
About Bamsi working… he don't have to… Cass Sunstein does all that for him, with Jarrett's help. The picture above shows a bunch of communists.+1
While I'm at it, does anyone ever notice that Valerie Jarrett is always the only woman in a roomful of men? Does she have a "thingy"?+2
Does someone have to hold him up so the recoil doesn't knock him on his hiney? Oh, wait. He probably sits down when he shoots, just like he sits down when he urinates.+1
Barry can't even throw a baseball. Whats even scarier is he can't ride a bicycle. Shit, my 10yr old babygirl can ride better than he does & throw better, she wears a much "cooler" helmet & smacks a mean double to left center field. Do u really think with those WEAK shoulders he has, that they can absorb a 12 or 20 gauge blast??? Hey HAT, what to happened to my avatar? I cant afford another surfboard with an IOTW sticker on it.+4
Umm Mr. President,this gun's for shoot'n, that gun's for fun. And watch where you point that thang!0
I think he is referring to the kind of shooting that Peewee Herman did a few years back…0

If reports are to be believed then the team Face book has been working on making changes in the Friends page. This means that now there will be separate friends' pages for outstanding and the recent friends request. Both pages will be more or less similar with slight difference in the functionality.
(Source: http://www.allfacebook.com/facebook-testing-new-friends-page-2010-10)
The new feature will enable the user of the most recent conversation with a friend as well as the friends most recently added by going to the editing the friends page. The newly introduced page will allow the user to see the pending friend's request, so that you know, how many friends' requests are still outstanding. Though it is not a very huge up gradation but it would definitely be a useful one. Being able to see who you interacted with most recently will be liked by the users.

Have any of you used one of the drop in .22lr conversion kits? I am looking for an economical way to practice and i think being able to use the same rifle makes a lot of sense. So my questions are #1 are they reliable and #2 are they worth the $? Thanks for the help

Don't have one but they seem to work though with many disadvantages: sloppy accuracy, dirty/gumming up the gas tube, reliability issues with magazines and brands of ammo. The positive side is they are cheap.
I'd rather pay more for a .22lr upper or a dedicated tactical .22lr like the Colt and S&W. I got the Colt, a buddy got the S&W and both work well.
The biggest issue with assembling an AR isn't so much getting the parts together right - it's getting the right parts together. You'll remember the quality of a gun long after you forget how much you paid for it.

I have one It has over 3000 rds thru it , only issue I had was a extractor and CMMG replaced it no questions asked . It cycles best with winchester bulk 555 ammo , cheapo remingtons it does not really care for , Bulk federals are ok but sometimes the Feds just dont go bang . Alot of people out there talk about sloppy accuracy out of the 1:7 barrel . Im calling BS this first pic is 60 yards 10 shots taking my time , second pic is 60 yards unloading a 25 rd mag as fast as I could .
Seem that sloppy to you for a 36 gr bullet coming out of the end of the barrel trying to twist its self apart because its spinning so fast ? I dont think so its more than accurate enough for me . By the way that is a 3" dot
Awsome, I am really think about getting one. That is not bad at all. I have a 1:8 barrel, so would i expect more "accuracy"? Also, with the high twist rate, do you have problems with barrel leading?
No doubt conversion kits work beter in some barrels than others. Overall though, the .22lr likes a slower twist in a rifle barrel, more like 1/15",otherwise dedicated .22lr barrels would come in faster twists.
Anyway, it's pretty cheap to give one a try in your rifle.
Thanks for the help guys, time to start shopping
The most practical option is to buy a completely different rifle. I'd probably go with the S&W MP 22-15 personally, but a variety of options are out there. Mossberg offers one of the most affordable.
If I were to go conversion (which I'm considering), it would be a Tactical Solutions upper+mag with a threaded barrel. I handled one and it looked to be quality throughout and was exceptionally light when mounted to a standard AR lower. And yes, I'd put those threads to work....NOT the most "economic" option, however.
I think CCMG makes budget-friendly rimfire conversions if you're determined to go that route. But I think something like the SW 15-22 probably makes a bit more sense.

No. 1 Breaking Bad, AMC (Ep. 14, ''Ozymandias'')
SCENE Walt (Bryan Cranston) tries to get the family to run.
WHY You could argue that the whole series was building to this moment. Since the first episode, Walt has claimed that he got into selling meth to protect his family. Hank has to die before everyone realizes the truth: The family needs to protect itself from Walt. It's hard to pick the most devastating shot. Walt Jr. (RJ Mitte) throwing a scrawny arm in front of his mom (Anna Gunn) to save her from his dad? Skyler, perfectly framed between a telephone and a set of knives, forced to choose whether to call the cops on her husband or kill him herself? Baby Holly crying as Walt kidnaps her while Skyler, broken, drops to her knees in the middle of the street? Maybe the worst thing about this gruesome scene is that it's only happening because Skyler believes Walt killed Hank. After all the truly monstrous, evil things he's lied about, the one thing she's willing to kill him for is the one thing he didn't do.


text: So now that I'm getting married, I am becoming grounded. I thought this goal was going to be very hard to come by. My fiance ran into some people who just got back from Ireland and they chatted for a while. It gave him a great idea. We are now saving up money and postponing our honeymoon so that we can travel Europe. Our plan is to take about three weeks during Christmas break next year to backpack a bit. It wont be for the many months I wanted to go for, but it will be worth every moment. Having someone to share the experience with, and being able to do it during the small break in reality we have. I'm very excited, but planning is on the back burner until the wedding is over!

Makes 8 servings
active time
45 min
total time
2 1/2 hr
Ingredientsadd to shopping list
- 8 cups 1/2-inch cubes of firm white bread such as a Pullman loaf (1 pound)
- 1 1/2 cups finely chopped shallots (about 8 medium; 10 ounces)
- 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, divided
- 1 1/2 pounds cremini mushrooms, sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 1 1/2 cups finely chopped celery (from 3 ribs)
- 2 teaspoons chopped thyme
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped sage
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 2 cups hazelnuts (1/2 pound), toasted , any loose skins rubbed off in a kitchen towel, and coarsely chopped
- 1/2 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 4 cups turkey stock , heated to liquefy if gelled, or reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
- Equipment: a 3-quart shallow ovenproof baking dish (2 to 3 inches deep)
Preheat oven to 400°F with racks in upper and lower thirds. Generously butter baking dish.
Arrange bread in 1 layer in 2 large shallow baking pans and toast, switching position of pans halfway through baking, until golden and dry, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. (Leave oven on.)
Meanwhile, cook shallots in 1 stick butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden, about 6 minutes. Add mushrooms, celery, thyme, sage, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid given off by mushrooms has evaporated and mushrooms are browned, 20 to 30 minutes.
Add wine and deglaze skillet by boiling, stirring and scraping up any brown bits, until wine is reduced by about half, about 2 minutes. Transfer to bread in bowl. Add hazelnuts and parsley and toss.
Whisk together stock, eggs, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, then stir into bread mixture. Transfer to baking dish and dot top of stuffing with remaining 1/2 stick butter.
Bake, loosely covered with a buttered sheet of foil (buttered side down), in lower third of oven 30 minutes, then remove foil and bake until top is browned, about 15 minutes more.
Cooks' notes: · Bread cubes and hazelnuts can be toasted 2 days ahead and kept in sealed bags at room temperature. · Stuffing, without hazelnuts and stock-and-egg mixture, can be assembled (but not baked), 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Stir in nuts and stock mixture, then proceed with recipe. · Stuffing can be baked 6 hours ahead and chilled, uncovered, until cool, then loosely covered. Reheat, covered, in a 400°F oven until hot, about 30 minutes.

1. What is Community Supported Agriculture?
2. Benefits of CSA
3. Willowsford Farm CSA
4. How much does it cost?
5. What are the pick-up hours?
6. What to expect in your share
7. How to sign up
1. What is Community Supported Agriculture?
What started on two farms in 1986 has become a nationwide movement that brings farmers and consumers closer together, with several thousand Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farms feeding over 150,000 people in the United States alone. CSA is an exciting alternative to how you usually purchase food. At its most basic, it is a vegetable subscription service for people who like to eat seasonal produce fresh from the farm. It can also facilitate a meaningful relationship between farmer, food, and you and your family.
2. Benefits of CSA
"Share members" find adventure in eating seasonally, are reconnected to the land that feeds them and can find community in the farm and with other members. Eating local means eating fresh - produce will taste better, last longer, and be more healthful. Eating local also means supporting farms that care for local land and water, and spending your food dollars in your local economy.
When you join CSA you get the first pick of the crops from our fields each week, a mix of vegetables, fruit and herbs - many familiar and some new to you. We prepare these shares for you to take home. In return, you support us by paying for your produce in advance. Your early commitment is the seed money with which we start our season and gives us an extended "farm family" for which we are farming for the year. This allows us do our selling in the winter and focus on growing and harvesting vegetables during the season.
3. Willowsford Farm CSA
Every farm and CSA has a unique identity that makes it special. At Willowsford Farm, we work hard to ensure you receive vegetables you will enjoy, and encourage you to try new things. We're nearby and we like to see you at the farm; in addition to potlucks and farm events, we are located in the midst of a unique community that offers diverse programming, including weekly vendors and demonstrations at the Farm Stand and CSA pickup and workshops in organic gardening, cooking, and healthy living.
We very much enjoy growing food and are continuously asking how we can do things better - to farm more productively, work more closely with nature, and share food that tastes great. We want to make healthy eating accessible, so we provide a weekly newsletter with news from the farm, recipes from our Culinary Director, and cooking and storage tips.
We are a single-farm CSA - we grow our own produce to make our CSA shares. Occasionally we will add an item from another farm. We believe in complete transparency - it's important to us to tell you where these items come from and how they are grown.
4. How much does it cost?
The 2014 CSA season is 27 weeks long, between early May and Thanksgiving. We offer one share size, which consists of 8-12 items, including fresh vegetables, herbs, and some fruit. We grow over 150 varieties of vegetables and herbs, so you can expect to see many of your favorites and some that may be new to you.
Full Vegetable Share: $700. Included are a weekly newsletter from the farm, two reusable bags, vegetable information and recipes, access to cooking demonstrations and classes, and two on-farm events. There is a pick-your-own garden at the Farm Stand where shares are picked up.
Egg Shares (1 dozen eggs each week): $135. We raise free-range, pastured laying hens, fed no antibiotics or growth hormones. They are happy birds and lay great-tasting eggs!
Flower Shares (20 weeks of the season, late May into October): $220.
Flower shares come from Loudoun County growers Barbara Lamborn and Dennis Fuze at Greenstone Fields. CSA bouquets are usually 12 to 20 stems of currently available flowers and fillers. In June this may include larkspur, snapdragons, alliums, campanula and zinnias. Later in the season we add celosias, lisianthus, phlox, sunflowers, dianthus, and many others. Our bouquets usually last a week, although customers often tell us they last several days longer.
Other Share Options: New in 2014
Bread Shares: 1 loaf from Spring Mill Bakery. We'll ask you for a regular order but you can change your order any time - we'll send you a list each week if you want to try something different. You can also take the weekly surprise where we decide. $5.75 a week gives you a choice of $5.50 and $6.50 breads. Current list is attached.
Chicken:1 whole bird each share, available weekl, bi-weekly, and monthly to fit your interest. They will be our own! Birds will be 4-5 lbs and are $16 each. This is a great value for pasture raised chicken. Like our laying hens, they are fed a non-GMO feed with no antibiotics or hormonses. Also: one free workshop with Bonnie on how to use a whole chicken. Some birds will be available fresh and some frozen. June through November (6, 12 or 25 birds).
Kombucha, milk and meat: More details soon, shares will be available this winter. As with bread, you can choose Surprise Me (we'll give you a different flavor each week) or tell us what flavor you'd like as a default (ie whole milk), which you can change any given week.
5. What are the pick-up hours?
Pickups are at the farm on Wednesdays, Thursdays or Saturdays.
Wednesdays, 3:30 - 6:30 pm at the Farm Stand, 23595 Founders Drive, Ashburn, 20148
Wednesdays, 3:30 - 6:30 pm at the Boat House Information Center, 41095 Braddock Road, Aldie, 20105
Thursdays*, 3:30 - 6:30 pm at the Farm Stand, 23595 Founders Drive, Ashburn, 20148
Saturdays, 10 am - 2 pm at the Farm Stand, 23595 Founders Drive, Ashburn, 20148
*New in 2014. Thursdays are market-style pickups only; no more pre-packed shares.
Contact us to discuss delivery to your home or at work with a group of ten or more.
6. What to expect in your share
In general, there are 8-12 items in your box: a mix of salad fixings, leafy vegetables, root crops, herbs and "vegetable" fruits like tomatoes and cucumbers. An item is a standard amount of a given vegetable: a bunch of kale or carrots, a head of lettuce, 2 lbs. of sweet potatoes, a pint of cherry tomatoes. What is in a box in a given week changes week to week and depends on the conditions at the farm.
Spring shares may include: greens, peas, carrots, radishes, lettuce, strawberries, scallions, turnips, broccoli, cabbage, swiss chard, beets, dill, cilantro, bok choi...
Summer shares may include: peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, beans, cucumbers, summer squash, melons, potatoes, onions, okra, basil...
Fall shares may include: tomatoes, peppers, winter squash, sweet potatoes, onions, radishes, turnips, cabbage, Chinese cabbage, greens, lettuce, broccoli, celery...
You can get a general idea of when different vegetables are in season here.
7. How to Sign up:
This year we are using a new system called "Farmigo" to help us better manage the CSA and online orders. We think it will allow us to provide better service to our members, and we think you'll like how easy it is to use. When you sign up, you will create a login and have your own password, which will allow you to use the online farm store, see your account history, and manage your account.

What Do I Do If Work Comp Won't Send Me to the Doctor
Post Date: December 2nd, 2008
These are some of the first words that I recently heard from a client who had called in. The injured worker works at a foundry near Bowling Green, Missouri. As a welder's helper, his job is very labor intensive. On a recent day, he was trying to unlatch a bolt on a huge pipe almost 4 inches in diameter. While doing so, he felt immediate pain in his shoulder and reported it to his co-workers. The company nurses took him to the emergency room where the company doctors gave him a shot. Shortly thereafter, the worker compensations insurance carrier sent him to see an orthopedic doctor. They obtained a MRI of his shoulder, which confirmed a rotator cuff tear. The doctor said he would need surgery and gave him a note saying that he was to be off work until after the surgery. The crazy thing is, even though the Workers Compensation Company agreed to provide treatment at that point, they immediate stopped approving any further treatment as soon as they heard the words surgery.
Why did they do this? After years of being a St. Louis workers compensation attorney, my opinion is because they know that once they approve this man to undergo surgery, it makes his case more valuable. What many people don't know is that under Missouri Workers Compensation Law, you will almost always be entitled to a settlement disability after all your treatment is complete. The amount of that disability settlement is dependent upon the severity of the injury and the type of treatment. People often want to know how much a torn rotator cuff is worth under Missouri Compensation. If it requires surgery, this is a substantial claim and the insurance companies know this. So rather than sending this man for the treatment he needs and deserves under the law, they have decided to throw this to the side. Additionally, because he can't work, he is not making any money. This is another thing workers compensation is suppose to do is provide payment for time off work.
This man originally retained a lawyer to handle his claim but was not happy with the services. It's always best to find a lawyer who limits his practice to one specific area. Otherwise he can never become an expert. As a St Louis lawyer, handling only injury cases (including workers compensation), I told him exactly what we would do for him to get him the surgical treatment he needs as well as payment for his time off.
Unfortunately this is a very common story with Missouri workers compensations cases. Because the insurance companies get to control all medical care, including choosing a doctor, they will jerk you around as much as possible if you don't have a lawyer. They will try to tell you that it is too costly to get a lawyer, but this is a lie. As a St Louis Workers Compensation attorney, I never charge any type of consultation fee nor never bill by the hour. Rather my lawyer's fee is 25% of whatever I recover in a worker's compensation case. In effect, I'm working for both our paychecks. Question- Have you ever had a doctor tell you that the amount they charge is going to be based on your outcome?
If you have been hurt at work, resulting in a torn rotator cuff, or any other injury, feel free to contact St Louis Workers Comp attorney Josh Myers. Again it is always free to discuss your case. You can contact him through his St Louis Workers Compensation website or by calling 314-720-2706.

The latest edition of Phoebe, issue 42.1, is printed and will soon be making its way into the hands of our readers. It's jam-packed with great writing, some of which we've given you a glimpse of this week.

A few days ago we brought you the first section of "John's House" by Seth Sawyers, a charming piece of nonfiction. Today we've got a taste of fiction to offer: an excerpt of "Sammy Kisses Archie" by Mike Koenig, about a man's introduction to an over-fifty dating club he joined at his daughter's prompting:
In the fifteen minutes Dan Murray has been on hold with Second Chances, he has verified his account number, date of birth, password, and zip code. He has also reread his confirmation email four times, committing its text to memory, right down to the name of his blind date— Aretha Jackson. As he waits for a human voice, Dan remembers the look on his daughter Kelsey's face at Christmas when she gave him a year's membership to the over-fifty dating club. Dan didn't really know what to say. He hadn't thought about dating since his wife died, certainly not something as elaborate as a club. But the earnest look on Kelsey's face as she said, "It's time to move on," gave Dan no choice but to try the group.
"Second Chances, this is Gary speaking."
"Hi, Gary, I think there is some type of mix-up with my date today."
"I'll be happy to help you with that," Gary says, typing as he speaks. "I see we have you signed up for a date with Ms. Jackson at the Starbucks in Columbia."
"That's right."
"Is today a bad day for you?"
"No, the day's fine."
"Will you have trouble getting to Starbucks by five thirty?"
Dan's watch reads quarter until five, more than enough time to make the date. But he wishes he had made this call at three, or better still at nine a.m. when he first got the email with the date details.
"No, no. The day's fine, the time's fine. It's just – Is there anyone else you can fix me up with? I mean, this is my first date since my wife died."
"Someone else?" Gary asks.
"I just never—" Dan tries to think of the tactful way to explain his hesitation about the unknown Aretha Jackson, settling on the words, "I just don't think we're compatible."
"Have you been on a date with Ms. Jackson before?" Gary asks, still typing as he speaks. "Our computers normally catch things like that."
"No we haven't been out before. I just—" Dan knows what is wrong, but doesn't want to say the words aloud; he doesn't even like thinking them. To avoid the embarrassment he hangs up the phone and stares at the email. The letters of Aretha Jackson's name, typed in bold letters and in a larger font, stand out against the white background of the email.
Dan wonders what is ruder: going on a date with someone you can't imagine actually dating or not showing up for the date at all. He wishes he had just said the time was bad; maybe then the company would have rescheduled someone more compatible. But the longer Dan sits the less comfortable he is with that plan too. You're no better than anybody, Dan thinks as he looks at his shadow along the wall.
In the living room, Kelsey, his youngest at twenty-five, lies on the sofa, her legs hanging over the armrest. She visits almost every week to do laundry, eat, and grab her mail. For some reason she has never changed her permanent address, so even her Cosmo and Glamour magazines come to Dan's house instead of her own apartment. Dan gives her foot a light squeeze when he enters.
"Why are you here?" Kelsey asks without turning.
"I live here."
"I mean, why aren't you at work?"
"I took a half day." Dan sits in the adjacent chair.
"There's nothing on," Kelsey says, flipping through the television channels at a ferocious pace. "They used to show old sitcoms before dinner, now it's all talk shows and fake court bullshit. You really should get satellite, Daddy."
"Says the girl without a washing machine," Dan replies, pointing to her overflowing hamper in the corner.
Kelsey turns off the TV.
"Seriously," Kelsey says, sitting up, "why are you home?"
"I've got a meeting tonight."
"A meeting?"
"Second Chances," Dan admits, almost under his breath.
"Daddy, that's great! What are you going to wear?"
Dan is in a business suit, a gray checkered pattern with a solid white shirt and a blue tie.
"I thought these things were for coffee."
"It is."
"You can't wear a tie for coffee," Kelsey says.
"I was going to lose the tie."
"You need to go a little more casual. Change into a polo shirt."
Within minutes Dan finds himself in the bedroom with his daughter. Six pairs of pants have been brought out for her approval and three shirts, all of which have been rejected as too formal, too businessy. Dan rather enjoys the excitement in his daughter's face, though he still dreads the date he will have to go on.
"Here," Kelsey says, handing him a pair of khakis and a dark blue short-sleeved shirt. "This is a first date outfit."
She leaves the room, not waiting for Dan's reaction. He changes into the newly designated appropriate outfit as if he were the child and she the parent. Just before leaving, Kelsey furthers the role reversal by asking where he is going and when he will be back. Dan laughs at the comment; it is the type of question his own father would have asked, though his father would have been more interested in where the girl lived. In the seventies, Baltimore was still fairly divided, and Dan knew without ever being explicitly told there were neighborhoods he was to avoid, girls he wasn't to date.
