Well I finally got it wrestled away from my brother, I finally figured out what it was..........
It`s a Shapleigh`s King Nitro............
King Nitro was a trade name used by Shapleigh Hardware out of St. Louis, I believe they were built by Savage, a 15a is what I came up with, needs a little work but I think I can handle it, it`s been in my family as long as I can remember, it was one of the firearm I ever shot.........

Glad you got it back.I enjoy shooting single shot rifles ! Clifff
It looks exactly like my 15-A. Mine has been in my family for about 40 years. I've owned it about 30 of those years. My neighbor owned it before my family did and he left it to dad after he died. That thing is as accurate as any .22 I own. If I could put a scope on it I'd be using it for target shooting.
It's also probably the most durable rifle I've ever seen. It only has 3-4 moving parts. I could probably replace the firing pin with the right size nail. It will likely still be working in about 300 years.

Commission welcomes European Parliament's positive vote on discharge for the 2010 budget
The Commission welcomes today's decision by the European Parliament to grant discharge to the Commission in respect of the implementation of the 2010 budget.
Algirdas Šemeta, Commissioner responsible for Taxation and Customs Union, Audit and Anti-Fraud, said: "I greatly appreciate the support that the European Parliament has shown today for our work to ensure that EU funds are correctly controlled and managed. The very constructive dialogue between our two institutions in the run up to today's vote has confirmed a common ambition to ensure that EU taxpayers' money is spent properly, and spent well. Huge improvements have been made over the past 10 years but we can't stop here. The Commission has tabled even stronger measures for EU financial management under the next generation of spending programmes, which will help to reduce errors even further. I count on the co-legislators, Parliament and Council to back these measures, so that we can continue to assure citizens that we are doing everything in our power to protect their money."
Today's decision to grant discharge to the Commission for the management of EU funded programmes comes at a critical moment when discussions between the European Parliament (EP) and the Council on future EU programmes are advanced. This positive decision is the result of very constructive discussions which allowed all institutions involved – the Parliament, the Council and the Commission- to underline the recent progress made, as well as to look at where further improvements are required.
The Commission has already taken many steps in its proposals for the next generation of programmes (2014-2020) tabled in early autumn 2011. These include:
- Simpler rules, which are easier to apply and easier to check for compliance, thereby reducing the risk of errors;
- More transparent reporting and enhanced accountability requirements for Member States, who will have to submit every year a statement of assurance on their accounts and systems performance, verified by an independent auditor;
- A new system for monitoring progress in achieving set targets i.e. by setting objectives and key performance indicators in each of the proposals made for the next financial period;
- Stricter preventive and corrective measures: the Commission will be able to interrupt payments for up to 9 months and would be entitled to cancel definitely some or all of the EU funding for a programme if Member States fail to address in a timely manner serious weaknesses in their systems.

Beer, Seafood Make for Winning Combination
BOSTON ( TheStreet) -- Chipotle (CMG), a Mexican-restaurant franchise, and salad-and-sandwich purveyor Panera (PNRA) have been good bets, as their fresh and tasty food serve as alternatives to the likes of McDonald's (MCD) and Yum Brands' (YUM) KFC.
Much lesser known is Flanigan's Enterprises (BDL), an owner of restaurants and liquor stores in Florida that has been successful for more than half a century. Flanigan's increased profit and revenue during the recession, which was the worst in 80 years.
During the past three years, Flanigan's has increased revenue 6.2% annually, on average, and boosted earnings per share 8.7% a year. It has a market value of only $12 million.
Fiscal fourth-quarter profit soared 67% to $290,000, or 15 cents a share, as revenue increased 5.6% to $17 million. The operating margin stretched from 1.8% to 3.4%. Return on equity, a key measure of profitability, matched the industry average of 10%. Flanigan's derives the majority of its revenue from seafood restaurants and bars.Though the company is publicly traded, it has a small-business feel. Its menu, entailing a healthy lineup of local fish such as mahi mahi, is as unpretentious as its business. Seafood and alcohol are a great combination in Florida, the land of Jimmy Buffett. Its stock trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 8.2, a price-to-book ratio of 0.8, a price-to-sales ratio of 0.2 and a price-to-cash-flow ratio of 1.8, reflecting, on average, a 90% discount to the restaurant industry average. As a micro-cap, Flanigan's is susceptible to unique risks, including thin trading volume. Still, its shares trade at fire-sale prices, which is baffling considering the company's record of steady growth. Investors know that management is on their side. James Flanigan II, the seafood patriarch, owns 20% of shares outstanding while Michael Flanigan and Patrick Flanigan control 11% and 8%, respectively. All three men purchased additional shares during the fourth quarter, a signal of confidence in the long-term prospects of their business. Flanigan's shares have risen 46% during the past year, outperforming stock-market indices.

Lolo Jones: I'm not dating Ndamukong Suh
September, 13, 2012
By Lynn Hoppes | ESPN.com
Streeter Lecka/Getty ImagesLolo Jones, who is in Washington, D.C., to meet the President on Friday, had to stop this rumor.In an exclusive interview with Playbook, U.S. Olympian Lolo Jones is striking down a rumor that has spread across the Internet today. She normally wouldn't do this, but people all over are asking her questions, and many blogs are picking up the rumor.
MediaTakeout.com, citing sources, says Jones is dating Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh.
That's not true.
"We are not currently dating," said Jones, who is preparing along with other Olympians for their visit Friday to the White House. "However, if the Lions win the Super Bowl and he wants to use the ring to propose to me, then we'll see."
Jones and Suh are good friends and joke all the time. They share the same agent and have been seen at events together, but they aren't dating.

Ala. Mercedes plant named state's top manufacturer
VANCE, Ala. (AP) — Mercedes-Benz's Alabama plant has been named the state's large manufacturer of the year by two business groups.
The Tuscaloosa News reports (http://bit.ly/ZFR4ME ) the plant in Vance was named Alabama Manufacturer of the Year for plants with more than 400 workers Friday by the Business Council of Alabama and the Alabama Technology Network.
Mercedes-Benz began making automobiles in Alabama in 1997 and built a record 180,379 vehicles last year. The Vance plant employs about 2,900 people.
At a luncheon Friday, Business Council of Alabama officers noted that Mercedes has continued to invest in its Alabama operation. The company's initial $300 million investment in Vance is expected to have grown to $4.5 billion in 2015.

YVR for Kids raises more than $200,000
The 23rd annual YVR for Kids golf tournament and gala fundraising dinner was another huge success, raising well over $200,000 for Canuck Place and other charities.
Event chair Cheryl Hendrickson said the event was sold out, with locals also supporting various charities through bidding on silent and live auction items, as well as local businesses stepping up to sponsor the event. The event was held last Thursday at the Sheraton Vancouver Airport Hotel.
"Without the community, you have nothing," Hendrickson said. "Every year it never ceases to amaze me where we get donations."
Among those in attendance were Canucks alumni Darcy Rota, Dennis Kearns and Gerry O'Flaherty, as well as B.C. Lions vice president Wally Buono.
Among this year's beneficiaries are the Western Canadian Pediatric AIDS Society, which supports children living with HIV/AIDS in Canada, and Rubina Hope for Kids, which benefits children's charities in the Lower Mainland, and is named in memory of Rubina Wong, who died when a massive tsunami struck a vacation resort inThailand. Also benefitting are the Richmond Therapeutic Equestrian Society and the Richmond Christmas Fund.
Sixty per cent of proceeds is earmarked for Canuck Place Children's Hospice, which is located in Vancouver.

Mac Hammond
Biography of Mac Hammond
Mac S. Hammond was a poet, a professor emeritus of English, and the director of the graduate program in creative writing at the university of New York at Buffalo.
The author of four volumes of poetry, The Horse Opera and Other Poems (1966); Cold Turkey (1969); Six Dutch Hearts (1978), and Mappamundi, New and Selected Poems (1989), Hammond also wrote for magazines such as The Paris Review, and Poetry and Choice. He was invited to the White House in 1980 by President Jimmy Carter for a program honoring 200 American poets.
Hammond made audio and video recordings, including The Holidays in 1968, a a three-track tape comprising a selection of poems for simultaneous voices. He combined video art and poetry in videos that were shown in Buffalo, Chicago and San Fransciso. He was cofounder of the Nickel City Poetry-Video Association, and president of Squeaky Wheel, a non-profit organisation devoted to the video arts.
Carl Dennis -his colleague and fellow poet- described Hammond's poetry as "a mixture of romantic hoping and very down-to-earth concreteness...He was very much his own man. He wasn't part of any school."

BOSTON (CBS) – Carl Crawford is back in the Red Sox lineup Tuesday night after missing Monday's doubleheader with a stiff neck.
Crawford will bat sixth and play left field. He was originally in Monday afternoon's lineup, but asked out of it after suffering the injury in batting practice.
Manager Terry Francona was asked how Crawford was feeling before the game, and said his left fielder has improved a lot since Monday.
"Good enough to play. He's sore, but he's able to move," said Tito. "Yesterday he couldn't move; he just couldn't turn his head."
The Red Sox look to make it two straight wins against the Orioles, and hold their two game lead over the Tampa Bay Rays in the AL Wild Card race. The Rays start a four-game series with the Yankees in New York on Tuesday.

Was anyone afraid to poke their fingers
I have a real phobia about needles and I was just wondering if anyone else was a little afraid to take the first poke......I am pretty sure I am in NK, am in ketosis and am losing weight and keeping track of carbs, protein and fat. It is just that I got the monitor (free here in Ontario) and it has been sitting here staring at me for the last two days with my fear of needles now overtaking me.
Um...yes! :o
When I first got my Precision Xtra meter, I didn't wait two days, but I got everything ready and then chickened out. My husband said I turned green. My palms were sweaty and I felt like I might pass out. (And I do pretty well when I have to get my blood drawn every so often as part of a clinical trial.) I think it was something about the fear of the unknown, and the fact that I was having to do it myself.
After a long delay and several false starts, I finally asked my husband to press the button on the lance thing. He got a big laugh out of it because I had been freaking out, turning green, etc. and as soon as he pressed the button, I said, "That was NOTHING!!" I couldn't believe it when a little drop of blood appeared on my fingertip since I had barely felt anything at all and I thought it hadn't worked. That experience was all it took...and now I can't wait to prick my finger whenever it's time to test (not the pricking but the anticipation of seeing the result!). I have to admit that it is not 100% painless, but it's really a minor irritation, and it's over so quickly.
Good luck!!! :high5:
I get freaked out EVERY TIME. I found that I CRINGED each and every time I had to make myself bleed.
Thank god I am not alone! I plan to read the literature on how to use it tomorrow and test.:aprayer:
Lol I am a nurse and give shots, draw blood, start , do fingersticks no problem. But i cant do it to myself. Have to have dh do it if i want to check bs.
I used to have issues and got over it real fast when my Boston (since passed) developed diabetes and I had to check his bs(from inside his ear) and also give him insulin injections.
Now, I check my own bs and also give my dh his insulin injections daily. The prick on the finger doesn't hurt, just don't do on the pad of the fingers as they will get sore real fast. I find that I get the easiest blood draw with the least 'pain' from the side of my little fingers. I read that somewhere and have done it that way ever since!
You can do it!!!!:)
I've been doing NK since September without poking myself.
I live in mortal fear of needles and syringes. I mean I get faint to the point of passing out - that sort of phobia. It is hellish.
It is nice to meet someone else who is cognizant of the innate evil nature of needles and shots. :)
To prepare, I wash my lower arm and hand in hot water...just letting the blood "boil". ha ha Then I swing my arm either in a circle or a pendulum motion until I feel the blood going to my fingers (tingles) and then I have a small piece of cotton, the bottle of alcohol, and I prepare like I'm a nurse, and then I do the "deed" and have never had a problem. I find that I have "one" finger that does it easiest and I tend to use it over and over. No callous and no evidence of it being overpoked so far. I rub with alcohol again when I'm done and go about my day. Easy! It's sort of "fun" when you get into it and are recording and being a scientist! :)
Kristn, I just took two seconds to do a google search of 'blood ketone strips'. Hit #1 is Amazon with the first review dated January 26, 2010. Hit #2 is for the D-Mom, a mommie with a diabetic child, describing the use of blood ketone strips with an at home meter dated MARCH 4, 2010.
Further down the page:
How many blood ketone strips do you go through in a ... - 18 posts - Sep 24, 2007
Precision Xtra Blood Ketone Strips NDC# to order ... - 3 posts - Sep 14, 2006
-------------[/end copy/paste]
And you cut off the part in front of your quote, which explains why the Doctors even brought up blood ketone testing:
"These temporal changes in how the kidneys handle ketones make urine ketone testing a rather uncertain if not undependable way of monitoring dietary response/adherence." ... and then they remark that blood tests are much more accurate.
You also left off the title of Chapter 13 which seems to have some bearing on the quote you made: "Clinical Use Of Carbohydrate Restriction: Very Low Calorie and Low Carbohydrate Diets".
*AND* you missed the following statement: "But whatever test is used, the key question is why do it? Many people are able to initiate and follow a low carbohydrate diet just fine without ever measuring ketones." He goes on to mention the hand held breath analyzers that are on the horizon but the context is for long term maintenance - not attaining and staying in a keto-adapted state.
In the chapter you referred to, and many other times, Phinney has said that the state of ketosis is nothing magical. He baldly states on a podcast that being in ketosis does not guarantee weight loss. That implies that testing to find out if you are in ketosis is not the first step or even in the first few steps but rather as a troubleshooting tool to figure out what is wrong with what you are doing. Not preemptive but post analysis. Unless, of course, you are a athletic enthusiast where every data point can be or is very important - as in the Performance book.
If you're losing and you're happy with your results then you're right it doesn't really matter, but is it really NK? Sounds like Atkins to me and I was pretty successful with Atkins for 11 years. But for me it did stop working to lose after a while.
I've been able to lose beyond my goal and gain LBM following the recommendations in the Performance book (and I'm not an athlete). Needless to say I'm very happy with the results.
Well all my worries were for naught this morning.......Found out the pharmacist sold me the wrong strips! Apparently the meter uses both blood glucose and blood ketone strips...it is a Precision Xtra. So I did not poke my finger.
When I went to the pharmacy to get the meter - it was free if you purchased strips, they really did not know what they were doing. I live in a city with a high East Asian Indian population and they have a high incidence of diabetes. So I guess the pharmacist just assumed I wanted the glucose testing ones.
You should see the amount of diabetic meterst, lancets etc on the shelves behind the pharmacist!!!
Anyway I had to order them special after I convinced him of the different type of testing and they will arrive Tuesday.
Am also waiting for my book which I ordered from amazon but with the Christmas mailing season in full swing I might not get it until after New Year.
It is a relief that I am not the only one with a phobia though....mine is so bad I have to think of how sad I would be if my dog died in order to take my mind off a simple blood test. :o
Yow! Chill out guys!
Not that the conflict bothers me, but don't forget the cardinal rule of the internet -- stuff always nearly always comes across harsher in print than it would in a face to face discussion.
I worry that this might escalate into something that would make this forum unpleasant for you. From where I stand, you two are the pillars that hold this forum up. I've read nearly every message posted here in the last 6 months. I have seen the effort both of you put into it. Man, I don't want to see either of you driven away!
You base everything you say on leap of faith type strawmen arguments like this Kristn. It is why I don't generally respond to your posts even if they are directed at me.
For you to be correct in your assertion we must believe that, despite my proving just now that they existed for *YEARS* before the first book was written:
....all of that and then, magically just one year later, blood ketone testing is the only valid way to pursue NK.
Kristn, I have zero interest in analyzing it or criticizing it outside of being forced to do that because of your aggressive posture that the Performance book, because of publish date, is somehow the only way that NK can possibly be valid. All evidence to the contrary is blithely ignored, dismissed out of hand or some fanciful chain of improbability is produced to explain the glaring contradiction.
Do you also assert that Dr. Phinney and Dr. Volek never heard of body fat % when they wrote the Living book? It is a key part of the formula they used in the Performance book.
That is quite a bit of an oversight, no? Just kind of ignore the whole body fat thing and hope for the best till a few months later when they became aware of it for the Performance book and made it a central factor in calculating the all important protein grams.
That quote about testing and it not being needed for the layman (i.e. non-Performance) person? Well. Dismissed out of hand, right? No, they completely changed their minds because ketone test strips went from zero to widespread in a matter of months, happily coinciding with the publication of the book geared for athletes.
Can I ask you a question though? According to you: You can do everything 100% by the book but if you aren't jabbing yourself with that test strip meter you are not following NK. That is what you just said. That is what this whole conversation, such as it is, has revolved around.
Here comes my question:
NK is only available to those fortunate enough to be able to pay $2 to $6 a test strip.
Is that right? If you are living paycheck to paycheck don't bother with NK because if you can't afford those expensive strips well sir u r doing it wrong.
If you have a pathological aversion to needles? Well, you simply will not be able to do NK. Sorry.
Say. Does Phinney or Volek actually write that in the Latest book? They state that sans testing you are not doing NK? It seems unlikely but that is what you are telling me.
Actually, I am torn here.
This discussion is completely appropriate for this forum. It just has that 'Mother Teresa and Ghandi in a cage match' feel to it. Can't look away, but somehow does not feel like something that should happen.
But, again, c'mon guys. You are both being belligerent.
By the way, I kind of side with Kristn on this one. If you test your BK, then you know whether you are in ketosis or not. But, I also see it as an affectation. 'The peasants, they wouldn't know a 2 mM blood ketone reading if it bit them on the nose.' But I freely admit that it is one I gladly employ. Hey, I figure I drink instant coffee instead of Starbucks. That money I can put towards BK testing. If that means I am first up against the wall when the revolution comes, well so be it.
And you can get as many as 4 ketone strips and a monitor for free. So, I mean, there is that.
I ask you plainly Phillip, since you believe Kristn to be correct: NK is impossible without blood ketone testing? You really believe that? Not just impossible but 'not NK'?
Really? Not just that, but all of the other eye popping assertions about the Performance book superseding everything before it? Really?
Can you quote any part of the Performance book that says that exact thing? Sans testing it isn't NK?
Surely there is a mandate to test. I cannot fathom her pedantic insistence otherwise.
By the way, this post not withstanding, I also try hard to directly or even indirectly mention her when I make a post that might concern the sacred Performance book.
I"m "sort of" with Phillip here on the back and forth opinions on "both sides". What it means to me is that it makes ME think! I read them with interest from my personal viewpoint on what is pertinent to my body, my health, my mind., ie., ME! I enjoy reading both perspectives. But, like Phillip, to me, if I didn't test I would be more frustrated than I already am because I woudln't know if I was in ketosis or not. And I don't drink Starbuck's either (that was funny) or buy anything unnecessary in my life, so the boxes of ketone strips I bought was like my birthday/Christmas to myself since we do not exchange gifts. I don't know that I would be buying them otherwise beyond the first month or so.
I like both opinions for different reasons. I am dyslexic, so can honestly say that I don't recall any huge difference between the 2 books other than more detail for performance athletes, which was the point in the "performance" book...which is why it was written, and for performance! I have heard P/V are in the process of writing another book for folks like most of us...the non-marathoner who is mainstream and I'm looking forward to that one.
I will report back on what my trainer/nutritionist has to say once she reads both books and Darin's write up at the start of this thread. I see her Friday and will see how far she has come on what I've given her. She is all in favor of the good saturated fats in abundance.....meat...and yet she wants me to have a small amount of veggies and/or a salad daily. She is quite fit, but she's also young and gorgeous!
I do enjoy hearing both perspectives.....and I also enjoy that one is opinion is male and the other female. There is much to learn with differing opinions if stated with respect. So far I don't feel anyone has crossed that line. The ideas are just "different" and the feelings are strong for each person/side.
Hope that makes sense.
I encourage anyone who's interested to read my "Lemony Snicket constructs and passive aggressive language" where I "injected herself into the NK thread I started" go to the "search this thread" tab at the top of each of the four threads and go to advanced search, you can then search for all of the posts by me in each of the threads by my exact name (mom2zeke).
Here are links to the threads:
Here are the searches:
Low Carb Friends - Search Results
Low Carb Friends - Search Results
Low Carb Friends - Search Results
Low Carb Friends - Search Results
It's very easy to read everything I've ever posted to those threads and I welcome it:).
As far as I know these boards and threads are open to everyone.
I guess if it possible to measure something, seems preferable to do so. That is what I meant when I said I was with Kristn on this one.
But, I have to reiterate how crazy it is for you and Kristn to be at each others throats like this. I mean unless I am missing something, you are actually hurting each others feelings!
I think there are merits to both sides of the dispute here. But, I mean, you guys do get that the vitriol advances nothing, right?
Would a healthcare provider NOT test a diabetic while trying lower daily blood glucose to check for adherence?
If a general ketogenic diet is working, stop there and enjoy the ride.
If you are "doing it right" and no results, TEST.
If you can't afford the strips, do what you can.
If you read the first post in the first thread, it was not for NK.
I'll bow out of this thread with this post and revert to my previous, and heretofore successful, strategy.
Okay, I think this is a legitimate discussion, though. I think the case for doing blood ketone level testing is covered in the last few posts. Here is what I see as the down side:
Well, what did I start NK for in the first place? Was it the health benefits? To break a weight loss stall? Something else? None of those actually register on a BK strip? Sure the strips can be a useful indication of whether I am actually controlling my diet such that I end up in ketosis. But with tests of this sort it is possible to lose sight of the initial goal and instead focus on the test itself.
So that is worth keeping in mind.

I know there are different systems out there for the placement of gumpaste flowers inbetween cake tiers. Does anyone know what kind of system Ron Ben-Israel utilizes?
Ron Ben-Israel gumpaste flower cake separator system
Cake Central Top Picks
there are systems for this?
i made my own up
and went more crazed and more cross eyed doing it
are you sure? where?
or did you just think so
i've never heard of rbi systems
i just figured he made it up too
he's got a former intern around here though--prolly sworn to secrecy understandably
y'know what? i had my brain wrapped around tilt-a whirl and tupsy turvy cakes
of which rbi is a master
and you never said those kinds of cakes at all--so don't mind me at all
see i told you i went crazy engineering my own--i didn't intend on proving it right then though
but still i'm not sure i know of any systems that you don't diy
but maybe there are some

I'm sure every cake designer has their own way of doing things, thus creating there own systems to stack a cake and placing their flowers strategically inbetween tiers. It also depends on the design as to what serparator one is to use. You probably misunderstood that by me saying system there is one out there manufactured for that sole purpose. Troubleshooting is one of a cake decorators best qualities to solve a cake problem. stacking is one of them.

Och-Ziff Draws Bullish Trades
By David Russell, reporter at OptionMonster
NEW YORK -- Och-Ziff Capital (OZM) is not a name that often sees unusual option activity, but Thursday its trading lit up OptionMonster's screens.
OptionMonster's tracking systems showed early buying in the September 7.50 calls, with about 5,000 purchased in the first 15 minutes of the session for 40 cents. Volume was more than six times the open interest in the strike at the beginning of the day, indicating that these were new positions.
Those calls lock in the price investors must pay to buy shares in the hedge-fund operator. They can generate some nice leverage in the event of a rally but will expire worthless if the stock doesn't move before they expire.That leverage was already at play Thursday because Och-Ziff was up about 3% when the options hit. The stock continued marching higher throughout the session and ended up 12% at $7.94. Those calls, meanwhile, inflated 50% to 60 cents. Shares have been falling for a long time and were building support near their lowest level in more than three years. But then the stock rallied after earnings and revenue beat analyst estimates. Overall option volume was 47 times greater than average in the session, with calls outnumbering puts by 8 to 1. Russell has no positions in OZM.

Does he like me? Does he care for me at all?
right you guys, this is quite a complicated tale, but please bare with me, I'll keep it brief ;-).I am now 21 and the guy is 32, nearly 33. When we met I was 19 and he was 30. We met, as you do, in some club and got chatting. By complete chance we bumped into each other again a week later (as I later found out the club is pretty much his regular haunt and he's there most saturdays). Anyway we began texting, emailing, chatting on MSN, in the beginning (for the first 8 months) it was him making the effort to text, compliment me etc. I'm quite a shy person by nature and feel uneasy giving or receving compliments, so during this time I laughed them off etc.. After knowing him about 8 months, he invited me to drinks and we kissed. We kissed twice after that. Texting and talking for hours on MSN in between. Admittedly during all that time..prob cos of my fear of getting close I constantly slagged him and didn't take any of it seriously. However, he did stress one of the nights when we were kissing (albeit him drunk), that we were just friends and it wasnt serious. After our last meeting, he didn't text for two days so I got angry and made some sarcastic comment about regretting our night out, it was meant to be more jokey than anything..but he didn't text back. and heard nothing from him for 6 weeks. I tried opening up the lines of communication again but it was never the same, always me suggesting meeting up, and while he seemed very open to the idea there was always an excuse at the last moment. I got frustrated after weeks of this and asked would we just leave it and forget our 'friendship', he didn't answer, and when I persisted he replied but completely dodged the question. It took me an awful long time to get over it, and months later I was out and saw him by chance again, I was drunk and just got really mad at him and called him every hurtful name under the sun. He told my friend he was very pissed off with me, sent him a million apology emails after saying I really liked him and lashed out because was hurt but with little avail.3 months ago again bumped into him, a lot of time passed. We ended up getting on very well and kissed that night. We've texted on and off since, usually me initiating it. Recently he asked me to meet him at a club 1 nite and when I said I couldn't go and suggested another night he didn't reply. He's also rang me out of the blue twice, and drunk texted asking me where I was. But when I text him during the day he's often detached and will only reply once or twice. Its always me making the effort but he does seem to try to impress me when he does text, telling about his new car/holidays etc...My question is..i am sooo confused?! What's going on here? Is he really insecure and doesn't know I like him? Does he like me? Can anyone make head nor tail of it? Could age be his issue? Anyone?!
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
alright! HERE YOU GO...GET OVER THIS JOKER, HE OBVIOSULY IS A PLAYER. AND YOU CAN DO SO MUCH BETTER THAN THAT!By the fact that he often goes to the same club on Saturdays shows that he's a womanizer trying to pick up chicks there and see how far it can go. your constant attempts at getting aswers out of his shows that he just doesn't care, or else he would of acknowledged you and let you know what was going on. This guy is not into a relationship with a great girl, it seems he's into sleeping with any girl and as many as he can take. If he really cared about you at all he would spend some real time with you instead of chatting up so much. face it reality is at both of your ages, it should not be so hard to see each other in person and really get to know each other.Also the fact that he made out with you while drunk shows it just doesn't matter what he's doing at that club or who with for that matter.Please just walk away, you don't need this kind of drama! There are better guys out there!
What Guys Said 2
Player Alert! And a rather creepy older (30+) player hitting on teenagers! Eewww.He wants to be around you until you push back? It's a sign of his focus being elsewhere or simply immaturity with the rigors of a relationship.And don't text when buzzed, it doesn't usually turn out so well.Good luck.
yes I read the whole story, and I think he's not after you because ur young. he does care about you suzie but it went downhill when you first freaked out bout him not texting u. guys tend to zone out alot, so cut him some slack for that. but I agree with anonymous on the 2 year thing. if it was going to really work I think it shouldve worked by now. he kinda reminds me of myself for the not being pushy for sex or anything, but that's just me. please don't hate me for my honesty.i hope dis helps
Thanks for reading and replying to that :-), your viewpoint was a great help. How do you mean it kinda reminds you of yourself for the not being too pushy for sex part?
- Show Older Hide Older
No prob, ill let you know as the days go how it turns out :-) and you let me know too :-)
Kk ; )
What Girls Said 3
Eh It does sound like there's something there, but wow, you need to be mellow. If he doesn't text you back, then leave it at that don't text or email until he does 1st, why waste your time, texts, and energy?You freaking out is giving the impression that you were acting immature.. Even though you're not, (I used to get the same thing) just learn to mellow out, and calm down. If anything maybe that will bring him back..if you want him anyway..Until then, forget about him, move on
to be honest I would get over him if I were you. it been like 2 years since you met him, and to be honest the age difference bothers me. if you weren't so young when you guys had met it wouldnt, but you know there's something wrong with a guy when he's almost thirty and going after teenagers. so either this guys hero is hugh hefner or he's a creeper. sry :(
Okay but still, what worries me is he drunk tested you which sounds kinds like a booty call. like he doesn't care about you your just a convienent friend with benefits
- Show Older Hide Older
That is very true. my advice would be to see if you two even have a chance of being a couple. if it works out great. if not there are other fish in the sea :)
Thanks, I suppose ill just have to wait and see. Thanks for takin the time to read my problem :-)x

(Updates with comment from French official in fourth paragraph.)
Oct. 17 (Bloomberg) -- French President Nicolas Sarkozy is open to the proposal of a special European Commissioner to ensure that euro-area countries obey rules on spending and budget deficits, said Netherlands Prime Minister Mark Rutte, who has been pushing the idea.
"Sarkozy looks at it positively, but the powers of the commissaire would have to be defined," Rutte told reporters after meeting with the French leader in Paris today. "Our aides are working on it. Triple-A countries like the Netherlands, France, and Germany are paying for Greece, Portugal, and Ireland. Why? Because they didn't stick to their obligations."
The idea of the special commissioner is one of the subjects that will be discussed at a meeting of European Union heads of government Oct. 23, Rutte said, along with aid to Greece, ways to improve the workings of the euro region's rescue fund and bank recapitalizations.
A French official, who can't be named because he isn't authorized to speak to the press, said Rutte's idea of a special commissioner deserves to be discussed. He said the task could be given to an existing member of the commission.
On banks, Rutte said he and Sarkozy agreed that lenders needing new capital should first seek it from private investors, then from their own governments, and only finally from the European Financial Stability Facility.

Defining Neighbors:
"Gribetz has written a compelling narrative that will undoubtedly become the authoritative account of Zionist-Arab interactions during the final decades of the Ottoman Empire. He offers not only original interpretations but also a deep engagement with an era essential for understanding the reasons why the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has long endured. What Gribetz accomplishes as a historian is quite remarkable."--Donna Robinson Divine, author of Exiled in the Homeland: Zionism and the Return to Mandate Palestine
"The encounter between Jewish and Arab thinkers in Ottoman Palestine was subtler than we know. Jonathan Gribetz cannot redo the past, but his brilliant study of their mutual understanding gives us new language to use in this conversation going forward. An indispensable work."--Ruth R.

Man,... That's a lotta hooch!Steel rig in progressebuild info
Fermenter: Blonde Ale
Brite tank: -0-
Kegged: -0-
Thanks much, CidahMastah! This should be especially helpful for beers like this hefe that can be enjoyed young without affecting the flavor much.
Say I try this method again around 30 PSI for a couple days, followed by serving pressure to round up to a week: is burping the keg necessary (I'm not sure that I did this time, though I honestly can't recall) or can I just turn down the pressure on the regulator without detaching the gas line? I guess I'm just unclear as to the physics of what might occur if I just leave the line attached and adjust the pressure downward.
"Beer, well respected and rightly consumed, can be a gift of God. It is one of his mysteries, which it was his delight to conceal and the glory of kings to search out."The Search for God and Guinness by Stephen Mansfield
FWIW, for those who don't cold crash I've used the following method for my last four beers in a row with success.
1. Put keg just filled with room temp beer in the kegerator (temp of my kegerator is 40 degrees F).
2. Set gas to 50 PSI (don't hook up the pouring line yet if you're using picnic taps - mine leak when under this much pressure).
3. Just less than a day later (~20 hours), turn gas off, burp, turn gas back on at serving pressure and hook up the pouring line.
The beer is at a pretty drinkable carbonation level already. It gets better with age, but if you want to drink the beer in a hurry, this method has worked great for me.
I know others have already described similar methods, but wanted to give a +1.
"There is no strong beer, only weak men"
"Pretty women make us BUY beer, ugly women make us DRINK beer" - Al Bundy
"Give a man a beer, he'll drink for a day. Teach a man to brew, he'll be drunk for the rest of his life."Primary: Viking Metal, Berliner Weisse Kegged: Oaked English Mild, Modus HoperandiBottled: None Notable Empties: Oaked Black IIPA, BBK I, Red IIPA, Burning Bush, Apophis "The Destroyer", Vanilla PorterOn-Deck: Hobbit Ale, The Titan BW, Ale of Olympus
I think he is just saying that the beer is starting out at room temp and therefore wont be at 40F for the full 20 hrs. Thus, it won't carbonate as much as it would if it were at 40F before going into the keg from the cold crash.
