My post this morning will be rather short, I'm afraid, and I will be around in comments only sporadically. Work has gotten very hectic of late, and I've got my kiddos home from school for the summer. Alas, life has gotten in the way of my blogging in what seems to be an irreconcilable way.
This morning's post will be my last regular Tuesday post. I want to thank each and every reader and commentor for their contributions. Special thanks for tolerating my gun control saga.
A hearty thank you and a huge hug to the other daily authors: Box Turtle, Crane-Station, Ruth Calvo, and msmolly. I think Richard would be proud of us.
If anybody would like to take over the regular Tuesday duties, please let us know in the comments.
Well, this is Over Easy. As always, off topic is the topic. I'll be around in the comments as much as I can, and will continue to be a regular visitor. I'm not disappearing, just stepping back from captaining the ship every Tuesday.
See you in the comments!

I completely forgot to write a post for this morning. I've had a very busy last few days, and have a very busy couple of weeks ahead. If anyone wants to guest host next Tuesday, June 4th, please let me know in the comments. I'll also need a guest host on June 25th.
So how was your Memorial Day? Let's talk about it in the comments. See you there!]]>
At the time of this writing, 8:30pm Central time Monday evening, there are 51 confirmed fatalities in Moore, OK. There are hundreds still unaccounted for, including dozens of children who sheltered in place at an elementary school. The school has been completely destroyed. Hundreds of other structures are gone as well.
I won't rehash all the details here. I'm sure everyone has kept pace with the story, at least to some degree.
What I would like to do is provide direct information on sources for those inclined to help.
As always, you can donate through the Red Cross here. You can also text 'REDCROSS' to 90999, which will donate $10 that will be added on to your next cell phone bill.
The link to the Red Cross above can provide you with locations of donation stations. It will surely be needed.
There are three Goodwill stores in Moore. Their addresses are here. I would advise anyone wanting to send donations of clothing to do so by contacting these local Goodwill stores in the coming week.
The first Red Cross shelter up and running is at St. Andrews United Methodist Church in Oklahoma City. Their website is here, and includes contact information. I'm sure they would appreciate any help that folks are willing to offer.

Good morning firedogs, and happy Tuesday.
We have now explored many aspects of the gun control and gun violence conversation in America. We've seen how our peer nations address gun control. We've seen how easy it is to acquire a gun in the US. We've seen how self-defense weapons greatly increase your risk of death by firearms. We took a good look at the NRA and the mental health crisis in America.
We've had an extensive conversation, to be sure. 1,036 comments thus far in this series. I thank you all for your participation. What I had hoped to do when starting this series, my initial concept, was to start an ongoing and extensive conversation among the great minds here about the gun problem. I feel I've accomplished that. I also hoped to develop and solidify my own firm set of beliefs around the issue, and I've accomplished that as well.
I believed in those early days (just 8 weeks ago!) that the only concrete solution to the gun problem in America was a ban on firearm ownership, similar to the laws in Australia or England that we took a look at in Part 3. I don't believe that this ban would need to include seizures of guns currently owned, as happened in Australia. I think many American gun owners would fight, and many would die. This is not a viable solution. I do think a ban could succeed long term if it were enacted now (or soon) and manufacture and sale of firearms ceased. 100 years from now, with guns cast aside, rusted out, and broken, the supply of firearms in America would be greatly depleted, and we would be a much safer nation. Our great grandchildren, and their children, would not have to witness the yearly Sandy Hook or Columbine massacres that seem so common now.
Alas, this ban will not happen. America's government is far too beholden to monied interests to boldly erase a giant economic sector like weapons manufacturing.
Given that the best solution is not politically feasible, what are we left with? For me, the answer to that question is simple. A better ideal.
Much of what maligns our society can be addressed without touching anybody's guns. There are many loosely related problems today that, if corrected, could reduce the number of violent homicides in America.
How? you might ask. Richard de Berry showed me the way.
Here at last, firedogs and dear readers, is my conclusion, and my hope for a better future.
When we last saw Richard, or SouthernDragon, he was treating some of us to another serving of Marx in the Morning, his recurring series on the teachings of Professor Richard Wolff. Richard died shortly thereafter, losing his final battle to cancer.
Before leaving us, Richard opened my eyes to an entirely new perspective. Marxism was alien to me, and his Marx in the Morning posts taught me that I could look at the world in a different way. I had been focusing on the wrong things for so long, never really seeing the true core of any particular issue.
What Richard taught me, through the works of Marx and Professor Wolff, was that people are the core of any societal issue, be the issue economic, political, or any other. If we seek to understand our fellows, we can better serve them and address their ills.
I was left then, when pondering how best to wrap up this series, with a gnawing question. Why do we kill each other so much? There are a handful of answers, and I believe they are the basic problems that we need to fix if we ever hope to reduce violence in America. These are large national issues, but I believe their solutions stem from us working at a local or individual level. There is something all of us can do to reduce violence.
Our mental health system is sorely lacking.
How can we fix that? There are other areas of this site that address the political fixes. Corporate ownership of our healthcare system severely inhibits positive change. We can, however, love our neighbors and friends. We can pay more attention to what they're saying, how they're feeling, or what they're going through. We can be more aware of their ups and downs, and reach out more often. We can listen when someone wants to talk. Simple acts of kindness among us can go a long way to making our society more mentally healthy as a whole. I'm not suggesting that we can take the place of mental health professionals, or prevent a massacre like Sandy Hook or Aurora, but how many suicides do you think could be prevented this way? My guess is a lot.
Poverty breeds crime
How can we fix that? Communism is my favorite solution, although I'd settle for some mild Socialism. Those things are not going to happen, though, so what are we left with? We're left, again, with individual impacts. Some of us are secure, and can and should do more for those around us. Demi feeds homeless people as often as possible, and provides basic necessities when she can. What if these acts prevented a robbery that may have led to a death? Demi sets an example for us all, that when we see a need going unfilled, fill it if we can. If we share what we have, we help to elevate our fellows, and can thus erase some poverty. A small help, to be sure, but help nonetheless. Where our government has failed to provide a safety net for society, we can fill some of the gaps. Maybe we can prevent some crimes of necessity and reduce violence a bit more. How many deaths can be prevented this way? Some, to be sure.
Lastly, the issue of the American Mentality.
We are self-centered
I feel like this one needs a bit of explanation. Many folks commit violence without considering the consequences. A murder in itself is a shocking thing, but the true tragedy is the fallout, the void that is left behind in the lives of families and friends of the victim. Suicide victims are the same. They leave behind shattered people, those that spend their lives questioning what they could have done or said to make things different for their lost loved one.
Much of the gun violence conversation focuses on massacres, but the reality is people die every day in America at the end of a gun. What is it in our social consciousness that tells us that violence is the answer?
Rampant consumerism, self-centered egotism, the raw need to have and be and do always. These American traits are expressed in many ways. I need that new car. I need that promotion. I'm going to use this credit card to buy that TV because I must watch that reality show in this better definition. This is engrained in most Americans, a selfish and self-centered personality. We are taught from a very early age to work, consume, and die.
How do we change this, the American Mentality? Again, there will be no political fix. Communism or Socialism are not coming, especially not overnight. As individuals, though, we can live well and love. We can place our friends and neighbors above our things. We can value people more than products. We can touch lives, and try to light a brighter path to a better future. We can inspire each other, as many here have inspired me, to get involved in local activism and political issues, and we can change small parts of the world, one step at a time. Our impact will be fractional, the change incremental, but if we persist, we will reach people. Maybe not many, but some. How many lives could this save? Some. Too few, but some.
That's it.
I've come to believe, my dear firedogs, that this is enough. I do not have the politically feasible answer to gun violence. I don't have sweeping reforms or a revolutionary solution that will change things overnight. I can't offer that. What I can offer is my heartfelt promise, and a simple plea.
I've learned through writing these posts, and reading and participating in the ensuing conversations, that we are well and truly screwed. The gun culture of this country cannot go away through politics. We cannot save every life. We cannot prevent every crime. While it breaks my heart that more babies like these will die, I must know my limitations and accept them. Otherwise, all my works will be futile.
Here is my promise – that I will, each and every day, act and be in the manner suggested above. I will love my neighbors, reach out more to my friends and family, help those less fortunate than I, and value people above things. I will do these things in honor of the victims past and present, and in the hope that there will be fewer victims in the future because of my word and deed.
My plea to you, dear readers – that you will try to do the same. Please try.
Consider how amazing you are, a blip in space and time that has the power to mold and shape the future of someone near you. You are incredible, just being. You could be so much more. You could imprint your attitudes and actions on generations to come, and the next life you save could be mine. Or my wife's. Or one of my sweet, innocent, beautiful daughters'.
That's my solution, folks. My conclusion. Thank you again for reading along, and thank you ever so much for helping to show me the way. And to Richard, wherever you are, I love you. You helped to make me a better man, and I hope to show you that it was worth it.
I'll see you in the comments.

This is the 5th post in an ongoing series. Click for Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4.
Good morning firedogs, and happy Tuesday. Apologies for missing last week. I had some personal matters to attend to. Huge thanks to chicago dyke for filling in.
We've considered many different aspects of the gun problem in America. We now turn our attention to mental health.
Much of the gun violence in America goes unnoticed. Individual victims receive a brief mention on the evening news, and a small story on the bottom fold of the local rag's front page, unless they're in a major metropolitan area. Then the victim is lucky to get a mention on page 2 of the local section. Many times these victims are young and poor, and often they are African-American or Hispanic. Our media doesn't care about these folks, and the world moves on, never having known who or what its lost.
The stories we do hear about, the images plastered all over the national news, are the spree killings and massacres. Sandy Hook. Aurora. Virgina Tech. Columbine. These are all part of the American Tapestry. Stories woven into the hearts and minds of all of us. Pictures and interviews with family members of the victims are plastered all over the print media and airwaves. Creepy photographs of the shooters are blown up for all to gaze at in terror and awe, and printed on every website and magazine. We hear about this shooter's autism* and possible personality disorder. We hear about these shooters' depression and suicidal thoughts. Or this young man's mental illness.
As a nation, our attention is always held by these spree killings and massacres. Most Americans seem to find some macabre pleasure in hearing every last detail. This woman gave her life to shield a child, that man tackled the shooter, this perpetrator got rejected by the Army. Every detail, no matter how minute, or how gory, is water cooler conversationr fodder. All our friends and coworkers have heard the latest news. Everyone is following the aftermath of the school shooting du jour. The average individual craves information when these shootings occur. We want to know. We want to understand. Because we fear. Somewhere, within 6 – 8 hours of the initial eports of the shooting, the same question is on most tongues: How did this happen?
The answer to that particular question is always complicated, and never revealed in full, in my humble opinion. There are many factors, and each perpetrator's or suspect's case is unique. One thing, however, is certain; most of these spree killers have been treated for, or have been suspected of having, a mental illness.This information very rapidly comes to light after a spree shooting or massacre.
The topic for the media, within 2 to 3 days of the shooting, must then pivot to blame. Why wasn't the shooter stopped? Why wasn't he caught in time? Why wasn't his mental illness treated more vigorously? Why did that crazy kid have those guns? Why didn't we spot the warning signs and do something.
These questions are asked angrily by pundits, with much flourish and pounding of fists. They are asked breathlessly, as if a prayer or a plea, by morning show hosts and evening newscasters. These questions are always asked. Rarely answered.
The answer is simple, my dear firedogs, and has only two parts!
Part one – mental illness is heavily stigmatized in our country.
The stigmatization of mental illness in America has been discussed elsewhere by my betters.
Unfortunately, the media is responsible for many of the misconceptions which persist about people with mental illnesses. Newspapers, in particular, often stress a history of mental illness in the backgrounds of people who commit crimes of violence.
The stigma surrounding mental illness keeps many from seeking treatment. This same keeps others from reporting suspicious or potentially dangerous behavior, for fear that their friend or family member may be labeled 'crazy' or put away in an institution.
The reasons are myriad, but the bottom line is clear – mental illness often goes untreated in America simply because people are afraid of mental illness. This is something that needs to be addressed and corrected if we are ever to move forward with a safer future.
Part two – our healthcare system is a for-profit industry.
In the last post in this series I talked about the National Rifle Association, and the 180 degree shift in the aims of that organization when corporate money started rolling in. Our health insurance industry is much the same. What used to be rightly called health care can now not be called such.
Make no mistake, firedogs – what we have in this country is not a healthcare system. Or health and well-being are a complex budget variable, only factoring into the discussions of the industry when they're deciding how much to raise our rates or charge for services.
The health insurance industry in this country is not interested in treating men like Adam Lanza. The health insurance industry is only interested in profit. Unless the patient can be medicated, and continues to pay a premium and a copay on a recurring basis, the health insurance industry is not interested in the patient.
We all have our stories with regard to the health insurance industry in America. We've all had personal experiences where our rates jumped or our prescription coverages changed drastically. The insurance product itself has changed significantly in the last 10 years. Just 6 years ago, my health plan covered everything. All I had to do was pay my monthly premium and my copay. Now, my insurance covers nothing until I pay my premiums and spend $4,000 out of pocket. The insurance product has degraded, rotted away to almost nothing. We are no longer insured, but held in a position (by an abominable law…) where we are forced to profit the insurer and the provider while getting almost nothing of value in return.
I realize I'm rambling here, and have wandered far from topic. It's 11:34PM and I'm too tired to go back and rewrite :) Call me lazy in the comments.
The point I'm driving at here, dear reader, is that our health insurance system is no longer in place for our benefit. Many of us are no longer receiving much-needed treatment because we either can't afford it, or our insurers won't allow it. Which kind of amounts to the same thing, dunnit?
Young men like Adam Lanza, Jared Laughner, and others who have recently committed massacres, now live in a country where their problems are a stigma, and the possible solutions to those stigmatized problems are priced beyond their reach. It's a two-fold problem that breaks the backs of many, spree killer or not.
The greed-run-rampant in our health insurance industry is keeping people in desperate need from getting help. Maybe, just maybe, if we stopped making mentally ill people feel like outsiders, and if we stopped insurers from pricing help beyond the reach of those in need, we would have fewer killings.
Alas and alack! Word count, mumble mumble, *rubs eyes*. Next up, the conclusion. I've gone as far as I can with this topic, folks. It's been huge and awkward, and I thank you for following me here. Next Tuesday I'll wrap this up, and after that you can have your regular Over Easy Tuesday posts back. I promise.
This is Over Easy. As always, off topic is safe and welcome.
I'll see you in the comments.
*Fuck everyone in the media who talked about Adam Lanza's autism or Asperger Syndrome as if this were a mental illness. Seriously. Assholes.

A proven formula for spiritual growth and transformation combines the right approach to Bible study with the practice of Christian disciplines.
GOD, IN HIS SOVEREIGN GRACE AND outrageous love, has given us in the Bible a written revelation of who He is and what His purposes are for humanity. There is no book that is remotely close to achieving the significance and influence of this one. But the intrinsic power and greatness of the Bible does not make it easy for us to receive the life it offers.
In point of fact, we can often use the Bible in ways that stifle spiritual life or even destroy the soul. The source of the problem is rooted in the two most common objectives of Bible study: (1) The practice of studying the Bible for information or knowledge alone and (2) the tendency to study specific passages of the Bible that speak to particular needs rather than seeking whole-life discipleship to Jesus. read more

New law lets motorcyclists ride side by side
Motorcyclists are eager to legally burn rubber side by side now that Gov. Bob McDonnell has signed legislation permitting them to ride two abreast in a single driving lane in Virginia.
House Bill 97, sponsored by Delegate Tony Wilt of Harrisonburg, allows two-wheeled motorcycles to drive alongside each other in one lane. Current state law prohibits motorcyclists from doing that; violators may be charged with reckless driving.
HB 97, which McDonnell signed into law on Feb. 28, will take effect July 1.
"The bill allows riders to use their own judgment in determining when it is appropriate to ride beside someone, but does not require them to do so," said Wilt, a Republican who has served in the House since 2010.
"One goal is to eliminate the harsh punishment placed on riders for doing something as innocent as pulling aside another rider while stopped or taking off together after being stopped."
The American Motorcycle Association frequently hears complaints from out-of-state riders about Virginia's prohibition against two-abreast riding.
"When our members and even non-members have ridden in Virginia, some of them have received citations for riding side by side at some of the major events that occur in Virginia," said Imre Szauter, the association's government relations manager.
"Where they come from, it is perfectly legal to do so."
It's perfectly legal almost everywhere. Virginia will become the 49th state to accommodate two-abreast riding. Vermont remains the only state to prohibit the practice.
"Riding two abreast is already allowed in 48 of the 50 states," Wilt noted. "In 2010, the Virginia General Assembly extended this privilege to law enforcement officers on duty. I saw no reason why it should not be extended to everyone."
HB 97 was approved 87-10 in the House of Delegates and 38-2 in the Senate in mid-February.
Safety was a concern. Opponents believe side by side riding is dangerous, especially if riders must suddenly swerve to avoid a road hazard.
However, no one has come up with data to prove that two-abreast riding causes an increase in traffic accidents or injuries, Szauter said.
"In the absence of statistics that indicate this is blatantly unsafe, it's just another reason to somehow harass motorcyclists for something they don't believe is an issue," Szauter said.
"If there are circumstances where riding side by side is appropriate, and it can be done in a safe manner, we believe that the code should be modified. And that's exactly what happened with this legislation."
When riding side by side, it's vital for motorcycle operators to communicate. Some riders use predetermined hand signals. Motorcyclists may need to speak to each other in advance to determine their plan of action.
A benefit of riding side by side is that motorcyclists also can signal each other on the road.
"It is often helpful for riders to be able to pull beside each other to communicate information – for instance, if they need to stop," Wilt said. "This legislation allows them to do so."

Firing up a winner
Halligan blends local theme with tasty classics
A Halligan fan for years, I regularly patronized the Shockoe Bottom location before the roomier Short Pump site opened. Call me cornball, but I am a sucker for the decor – dominated by a fire engine with beer taps extending from the sides – as well as the story behind it.
Owner Shawn Gregory, a retired Henrico firefighter, outfitted the Halligan West location with a 1967 fire truck that his own father rode in his early career at the Highland Springs station.
Among other firefighter memorabilia incorporated into the theme are buckets and firefighter helmets suspended from the ceiling to serve as lamps, and fire hoses wound into the railing of the patio. The walls are covered with tools, photos, badges, and memorabilia from fire companies around the country, and Gregory rents a small "VIP" party deck on top of the fire engine and donates proceeds to charity, including a burn foundation. > Read more.

Hey All,
While I know that our country is at a crossroads and that we recently almost had semi auto versions of AR/AK's banned, I feel that it might be a good time to write our respective congressmen/women on the possibility of repealing the Hughes Amendment. The more and more I study the class 3 laws and how much money it actually costs to purchase a full auto weapon, the more distaste I have for the Hughes Amendment. Over time this ban will make it near impossible for any private citizen to own a fully automatic weapon without making seven figures a year. Basically congress was able to ban machine guns over time without upsetting too many gun right's activists because it seems they didn't have the foresight to understand that. If one watches the CSPAN footage the way Charlie Rangel conducted the procedure it is clear that he railroaded a majority of Congress. While I know some of you will say "will never happen" "gun control advocates have too much power" remember this:
I believe the assault weapons ban was curbed because many Americans realize the government can't protect them as much as they like to say they can.
Americans actually wrote their congressmen/women (Political Correctness)
Congressmen/women realized that their constituents would probably remove them via ballot box next election year if they didn't comply (look what's happening in Colorado)
I don't believe that if we all write our senators/reps that the legislation will get introduced tomorrow, but I do believe it will at least crack the door open to a point where when Americans stop being so scared of guns that it would have a possibility of passing. Right now is not the time because we have more serious things to worry about like the IRS (Lori Lerner) and Benghazi. But I do believe these scandals have pushed many moderates more right, using a federal agency to target certain political groups never leaves you a good image. So if the possibility is there we should try to push on our congressmen/women to start deregulating firearms.

Cloudberry Kingdom is a platform game developed by Pwnee Studios and published by Ubisoft.You play as Bob, a platforming hero who's out to save a princess who's been kidnapped by an evil king an unknown number of times. The main draw to the game is that levels are procedurally generated, offering an optimal challenge based on the level and the power-up that Bob is using. Levels are very short, usually lasting no more than 15-20 seconds, but they all have various tricky jumps to make and death traps to dodge before reaching the door to the next level.The game was released on July 30, 2013 for the Play Station Network and Steam, with Xbox LIVE Arcade and Wii U releases on the following days.

Environmental Monitoring and Management On the AT
While the primary activities discussed in association with the Appalachian Trail tend to be maintenance, border monitoring or hiking, there is much more going on. During a recent presentation at the Southern Regional Partnership Meeting, some special features of the AT were identified. There are 250,000 acres of unique, high elevation ecosystems; more rare, threatened and endangered species than any other national park service unit; trail lands protect headwater streams for major east coast watersheds; and the AT corridor acts as an ecological connector linking otherwise disconnected conservation lands. The importance of monitoring the natural resources of the AT corridor is due to constant threats to its unique ecology by invasive exotic species, climate change, pollution, recreational impacts, development, poaching, and/or the effects of historical land use.

Ceva reported stronger-than-expected quarterly results today, as demand for its intellectual property is soaring thanks in part to mobile-computing demand from customers like Intel (INTC) and Broadcom (BRCM).
The Israeli-based company reported $16 million in revenue and earnings of 26 cents per share. Wall Street analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expected $14.9 million in revenue and 22 cents cent per share in earnings."During the fourth quarter, we were able to drive meaningful growth and generate significant momentum throughout our operations, producing record-setting results. CEVA-powered cellular baseband processor shipments increased for the twelfth consecutive quarter and continued to drive growth for us in every segment of the wireless market, from low cost feature phones through to 4G LTE smartphones and tablets," said Gideon Wertheizer, CEO of CEVA, in a statement. Wertheizer said CEVA's customers "shipped more than 927 million CEVA-powered basebands during the year, and more than 1 billion CEVA-based chipsets overall." Despite strong fourth quarter results. CEVA shares are down on weaker-than-expected guidance for the first half of 2012, as management cited an inventory correction in China and slowness in Europe. Management expects first quarter revenue to be between $14.2 million and $15.2 million and earnings of 20 cents to 22 cents per share. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expect $15.4 million in revenue and earnings of 24 cents per share. William Blair analyst Anil Doradla was positive on the results, and maintained his outperform rating. "CEVA's fourth-quarter results were above our expectations across most metrics," Doradla wrote in his note. CEVA is one of TheStreet's Breakout Stocks. CEVA shares are down 7.5% since the start of 2012.

Former sheriff honored
Rochester, N.Y. Andrew Meloni is credited with helping to transform the Monroe County Sheriffs Department and its practices.
Now, a part of the County Public Safety Building is named in his honor.
A ribbon cutting and dedication for the buildings new training room was held Wednesday.
Meloni served in the Monroe County Sheriffs Department for 41 years and was sheriff for half of that tenure.
Our motto was we care about people, says Meloni. We certainly do and we show it every day by virtue of the kind of things I run into even after 13 years being retired in terms of what people truly think of our service.

(Updates with closing share price in second paragraph.)
Dec. 20 (Bloomberg) -- Cobalt International Energy Inc., the deep-water crude explorer whose biggest investors include Goldman Sachs Group Inc., had its largest gain after an exploration well off the coast of Angola struck oil.
Cobalt rose 37 percent to $13.85 at the close in New York, the biggest intraday increase since it began trading in 2009. The climb was the largest among members of the Russell 1000 Index.
Cobalt is evaluating results from the Cameia-1 well in an offshore zone in Angola known as Block 21, the Houston-based company said today in a statement. Last month, the company estimated the prospect held at least 1 billion barrels of crude.
The discovery heralds a turnaround in Cobalt's fortunes after exploration setbacks in the Gulf of Mexico and drilling delays stemming from BP Plc's oil spill last year, said Scott Hanold, an analyst at RBC Capital Markets.
"After a pretty tough few years, things are starting to come together for Cobalt," Hanold said today in a telephone interview from Austin, Texas. "Everything they've seen so far from this well has been pretty positive."
At current Brent crude prices, a billion-barrel find would be valued at more than $100 billion, based on Bloomberg calculations.
'Very Encouraging'
Goldman and private-equity firm Riverstone Holdings LLC each hold 19 percent stakes in Cobalt, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Cobalt was founded in 2005 and first sold shares to the public in December 2009.
"The results thus far confirm the existence of hydrocarbons and are very encouraging," the company said in the statement. After the well is sealed, Cobalt said it plans to move the Ocean Confidence rig, leased from Diamond Offshore Drilling Inc., to the nearby Bicuar-1 prospect to begin another well.
Angola signed a production-sharing agreement today with Cobalt for the exploration of an additional offshore area known as Block 20, the company said in the statement.

Gainesville, FL----Call it a very tough test for the Gators Saturday as they play at 10th ranked LSU. You figure if the Gators are to win, they'll need another big effort from what's been so far, a rather dominant defense, even with so many young players stepping into key roles.
It's a second straight season the Florida football team has had to rely on a stellar defense to do the "heavy lifting".
"The most pleasing thing is a little bit of a culture we've created." says head coach Will Muschamp. "When a Dante Fowler comes in your program and he sees how Jon Bostic practices, how Jelani Jenkins practices, how Dominique Easley practiced. The same for Jon Bullard, the same for Antonio Morrison, the same for the young safeties, same for the young corners. Vernon Hargreaves sees how those guys prepare themselves each week. And so you take good talent and guys are willing to have that blue collar mentality, and work hard at it and come together for a common purpose you can do some good things."
That game 2:30 central on our sister station WECP.

Can someone tell me which is the correct sequence:
have the tile floor professionally cleaned first then caulk the baseboard or caulk first then clean

- Posted by weedyacres (My Page) on Tue, Feb 12, 13 at 13:40
|Is this for a new floor being put in? I'd clean it before I caulked.
