Picture yourself spending some time with congenial friends, sharing your lives and pictures from your cell phones." They're curious about that cool game, song, movie, camping trip, art show, or other event that fascinated you. You talk about all kinds of stuff, poetry, styles, personal achievements, relationships, and bad days. You can share your inner child, and laugh together. They sympathetically listen to your feelings about serious topics like politics or climate change, even when they don't agree.
Personal validation comes from paying attention to one another, giving more than you get. Everyone respects you and themselves, despite our amazing range of personal tastes and interests. They'll tell you they don't agree with an idea or behavior without implying you're a bad person or somehow deficient. It's an "I'm OK, You're OK" kind of fellowship, where nobody tries to make himself look better by picking on somebody else.
Nobody here is into mind games. A discussion started with a loaded guilt-throwing question will be deleted.

Good Morning Friends! I just have a lot of housework to do today. Still sharing cars, as my son sold his & the one he ordered will not be here until the end of Sept. Not a big sacrifice! We move my daughter to her apartment next to her University on Friday. I will miss her (and my grandcat! lol), but she's not too far away. She's very excited to be returning to school and finishing.
Spud, thanks for reminding me of Jumanji, a good movie (with Robin) with good (for the time) special effects. That's about as scary of a movie I ever care for.
PS: I never watched "Mork & Mindy;" as an adult fan of real SF, I thought it was stupid.
However, somewhere around here I have an old VHS tape of a Robin Williams stage concert that I love....not too "blue," and had one hilarious (to me) bit where he acted out what it would be like if an NFL coach and a Broadway choreographer found themselves in each other's professions.
When I was in elementary school, the "Talking Mule" movies were a big deal in the theaters.
My legal first name is Frances (with an "e"), though I've never used it for anything but paying taxes and banking....or when I'm being snarky. Every school year would begin with a new teacher calling out "Frances Hampton" for the first roll call, and I would have to correct her....while the entire class broke up, brayed, made me feel rotten..
I never, ever had any desire to see those ghastly movies.
Felaine (Frances Elaine)
Carl, I didn't like his standup routines either; they were too manic for my taste. His movies, on the other hand, stood out as masterpieces in my opinion. As you, I especially liked Dead Poet's Society, Mrs Doubtfire, as well as Good Will Hunting, Popeye, and Awakenings.
I liked his comedy, except when he got too blue, which he did way too often.
Oh, so they were on TV, just not a series.
Spud, when I was a kid, I used to watch Francis the Talking Mule movies on TV Saturday afternoons. Those and the Bowery Boys.

3 Badasses From World War 2 (Who Never Held a Weapon)
Subscribe to our newsletter
We can all agree that the military is pretty badass. It's hard to pinpoint a specific reason. Maybe it's because they do a job we internet writers are too doughy and yellow to perform. Maybe it's the danger involved. Gun to head though, most people would probably say… the guns. Guns can make almost anyone seem pretty badass. But back in the day, our forefathers of the greatest generation were so inherently awesome they often didn't even need any full-metal augmentations to make their badassery known. Here are three men that prove that it's the man behind the gun that counts.
Bill Millin
If you've ever played a war game set during WW2, there's a fairly good chance you've played a level depicting the Allied landings at Normandy. For some reason, despite having played games where people can easily steal six billion cars and murder half the world's population of prostitutes in a single afternoon (Grand Theft Auto), or singlehandedly take down a futuristic stronghold manned by thousands of murderous half-human half-locust opponents using nothing more than endless swearwords and an assault rifle with a chainsaw mounted on the front (Gears of War), people often complain that these Normandy levels are too unrealistic because of the sheer insane nature of them. But, what many fail to realise is that many of these are accurate depictions. All of that actually happened. So surely, wading into that area without a gun would be madness, right?
Enter, Bill Millin, a Scottish private within the British Army. While it was traditional for Scottish and Irish soldiers to be played into battle with the pipes, by 1944 the playing of pipes was restricted to the rear area because it was just too dangerous/stupid. Millin's commander, told him those rules were for the English and they were Scottish so they didn't count. Millin was landed under extreme German fire (as in, the guy next to him immediately died) and Millin waded ashore in his kilt and holding his bagpipes over his head. He calmly walked up and down the beach playing tunes to the commandos fighting and dying around him.
The commandos moved inland and Lord Lovat insisted that Millin play them down the road to the next objective, and while under sniper fire and with other troops frantically signaling to take cover, Millin walked across an exposed bridge while the commandos followed. Millin talked to some captured German snipers after the battle who told him the reason they didn't kill him was because they thought he was mad.
Richard Antrim
The Battle of the Java Sea was a decisive turning point for the US war effort; at its conclusion, the Japanese Army had effectively taken the various islands that make up the Dutch East Indies (or as they later became known, Indonesia) from the grasp of the US, who by this point were retreating as fast as their antique battleships could be carry them through the Pacific Ocean. Unfortunately, one of these ships, the USS Pope was sunk, leaving its crew left adrift in their life rafts. That is, until they were found and collected by ships from the Japanese Navy, which some would have argued to be a worse fate than being left to the sea.
Amongst these men was a certain Richard Antrim, a man who would later be regarded as a hero for his actions within the prison camps of the Japanese. Soon after arriving at the camp, he witnessed a US airman being beaten by a group of three Japanese officers and, despite the threat of being disembowelled by them, rescued the poor guy and demanded that the Japanese beat him instead. The Japanese didn't, mainly because they came to find a newfound respect for both Richard and the US members… but also presumably because they didn't want to find themselves on the receiving end of a beatdown from the craziest man they would have ever seen. This action earnt Antrim a freaking Medal of Honor, something he wasn't able to collect from President Truman until 1947. Here's an extract from the citation issued for it, just to prove we're not just making shit up:
"With the entire Japanese force assembled and making extraordinary preparations for the threatened beating, and with the tension heightened by 2,700 Allied prisoners rapidly closing in, Comdr. Antrim courageously appealed to the fanatic enemy, risking his own life in a desperate effort to mitigate the punishment. When the other had been beaten unconscious by 15 blows of a hawser and was repeatedly kicked by 3 soldiers to a point beyond which he could not survive, Comdr. Antrim gallantly stepped forward and indicated to the perplexed guards that he would take the remainder of the punishment, throwing the Japanese completely off balance in their amazement and eliciting a roar of acclaim from the suddenly inspired Allied prisoners. By his fearless leadership and valiant concern for the welfare of another, he not only saved the life of a fellow officer and stunned the Japanese into sparing his own life but also brought about a new respect for American officers and men and a great improvement in camp living conditions."
That's not the only thing he managed to achieve during his time at the camp. At this time, the US had also begun to aerially bombard Japanese settlements, something which the POW camp would have been mistaken for, resulting in the deaths of pretty much every prisoner on-site. After being ordered by the Japanese commanders to dig defensive trenches to protect themselves in, Antrim quitely altered the plan of the trenches so that from the air they spelt 'US', in order to signal to any bombers who the occupants of the trenches were. The plan worked and the entire POW camp was saved again. The big question though: who is the patron saint of POW camps? If there isn't one, they should seriously consider this guy.
Elmer C. Bigelow
Few things suck worse on a ship than having a fire break out. There's the cruel irony of being surrounded by that fire-killing element known as 'water', alongside the equally cruel fact that jumping from the floating inferno into the water will often result in you being frozen to death, instead of burnt to death. Like we said, few things suck worse than this.
That's why many ships during World War 2 had dedicated firefighting personnel like Elmer Bigelow aboard, because oddly enough, the enemy also recognised the value of this bitch of a dualism and endeavoured to speed up the whole process by bombing ships into firey oblivion. Like what happened onboard the USS Fletcher on Valentines Day of 1945. Whilst minesweeping an island ahead of an attack, one of the ships guns was hit by a Japanese shell, which resulted in a massive explosion and fire breaking out.
As speed is generally of the essence during a fire, Elmer diligently donned all his protective gear and dove into the flames armed with two fire extinguishers, in what appeared to be an awesome attempt at giving John Woo the inspiration for many of the tropes within his films. Hold on, did we say 'donned all his protective gear'. What we actually mean was 'ignored all of his protective gear because it would have taken too damn long to put on', but the bit where he bravely took on Madame Fire and emerged victorious is all true. The lives of all aboard were saved by Bigelow's actions, however, the man himself succumbed to the injuries he received during this. To commemorate this, he was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor, with the following attached citation:
"Despite the acrid, burning powder smoke which seared his lungs with every agonizing breath, he worked rapidly and with instinctive sureness and succeeded in quickly extinguishing the fires and in cooling the cases and bulkheads, thereby preventing further damage to the stricken ship. Although he succumbed to his injuries on the following day, Bigelow, by his dauntless valor, unfaltering skill and prompt action in the critical emergency, had averted a magazine explosion which undoubtedly would have left his ship wallowing at the mercy of the furiously pounding Japanese guns on Corregidor, and his heroic spirit of self-sacrifice in the face of almost certain death enhanced and sustained the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service. He gallantly gave his life in the service of his country."

Starting School Monday
- 0Jul 19, '06 by nursenary57Hey guys,
I'm starting my anesthesia program Monday, July 24th. To say I'm nervous yet excited would be quite an understatement. The percentages on each are variable, just like Owen Wilson said in the launch scene from Armageddon "I've got that excited scared feeling. But 98% excited, 2% scared. Or maybe its more, it could be 2, it could be 98% scared 2% excited. Thats what makes it so intense, cause its so confused. I can't really figure it out." Yeah, that pretty much sums it up for me.
I'm attending Middle Tennessee School of Anesthesia in Madison. It is a 28 month front loaded program. First twelve months is majority of classes along with clinical 3 days a week. Last 16 months is OR all the time. First 5 weeks is an intense pre-OR orientation that introduces us to settig up the OR and the anesthesia machine. We also recert in ACLS, PALS, and 12 lead EKGs.
If anybody out there is gonna be a classmate of mine, drop me a line. I'll keep you guys updated on how it goes. Good luck to those in or trying to get in.
- 0Jul 19, '06 by Miss VonI have my fingers crossed for you. Keep us posted on how your first week goes. I'll be in the same boat come August 14th. I definitely know the scared excited feeling. It's comforting to know that so many before us felt the same way and did GREAT!. Keep God first and I wish you well.
- 0Jul 24, '06 by darienblythe79Today's the day! Best of luck to you as you take on this new endeavor!
- 0Jul 27, '06 by nursenary57I'll update you guys on the weekend. Kind of busy right now!

As I was working on that star today Olivia, my 4yr old, attempted to make her own and was using the scrap paper to draw on and glue together. She is definitely a crafty one. Anyway, I saw this idea on a few other blogs and decided to give it a whirl.
She REALLY likes it :) What do you think?

E. J. Dionne Misunderstands the Tea Party
1:10 PM, Oct 25, 2010 • By PETER BERKOWITZ
On Oct. 22, Washington Post columnist E. J. Dionne, among our most knowledgeable progressive political commentators, published a courteous rebuttal, "Debating the Tea Party: A Reply to Peter Berkowitz," to my recent Wall Street Journal op-ed, "Why Liberals don't get the Tea Party Movement." The rebuttal, or rather attempted rebuttal, is instructive for several reasons.
E. J. Dionne
Dionne continues to insist, contrary to the evidence, that the Tea Party is a small and inconsequential movement. He leaves unchallenged my main claim that many highly educated Americans misunderstand the Tea Party's central commitment to limited government because the political science and history departments at the distinguished colleges and universities that credential them are failing to teach the principles of American constitutional government (I do not dispute Dionne's assurance that he was well trained by his college teachers). And while insisting on the importance of a thoughtful conservatism, he seems to be unaware of its existence.
Concerning the facts, Dionne stands by his September 2010 contention that the Tea Party "constitutes a sliver of opinion on the extreme end of politics receiving attention out of all proportion with its numbers." As evidence, he cites a study released earlier this month by the Public Religion Research Institute (which he notes he played a hand in designing) that found "11 percent of Americans consider themselves part of the Tea Party movement."
Set aside the oddity of referring to 11 percent of the electorate—or 11 percent of anything—as a "sliver." What Dionne does not tell readers is that the study he both contributed to and relies upon is significantly out of step with leading polls. A Gallup poll released in July, based on surveys conducted in March, May, and June, reported that "Thirty percent of Americans, on average, identify as Tea Party supporters—a percentage remarkably consistent across the three surveys." According to a Sept. 2010 CBS News/New York Times poll, 20 percent of Americans support the Tea Party movement. And a Rasmussen poll of likely U.S. voters released early this month found that "17% describe themselves as members of the Tea Party."
Dionne also sees no reason to revise his April 2010 assertion that the Tea Party movement "will not determine the outcome of the 2010 elections." One would have thought that Tea Party backing of upset Senate seat winner Scott Brown in Massachusetts, Senate candidate and rising national star Marco Rubio in Florida, and Senate candidate Sharon Angle in Nevada (running as I write slightly ahead of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in the latest Real Clear Politics average), along with Tea Party supported primary victories over Republican Party stalwarts in Alaska, Colorado, Delaware, Kentucky, New York, South Carolina, and Utah would have demonstrated the considerable impact that the movement has already had on the 2010 elections.
According to Dionne, however, "Unemployment and economic discontent are still far more important." That's like saying that in the 2008 election, Iraq and the collapsing economy were decisive, while Barack Obama and his historic run for the White House were of little significance.

Excellent service, perfect location, perfect spa
December 06, 2014
The hotel is in very good conditions, clear and comfortable. I would highlight excellent spa services and very good breakfast. The rooms are rather small but comfortable and have all necessary amenities. This time I was not lucky with the room as the window was facing a wall and there was mildew around the bath which I would not expect for the hotel of this class.

CLINTON, Tenn. (WVLT) -- Police in Clinton are looking for a man who they say stole women's underwear while threatening an employee with a box cutter.
It happened on Monday around 3:25 PM at the Walmart on Tanner Lane.
Police say a white male walked out of the store with two packages of women's plus-size Fruit of the Loom underwear.
An employee tried to stop him as he was walking out the door, but that's when police say the man displayed a box cutter in his left hand.
The suspect then ran to an older model car and took off.
If you have any information, please call the Clinton Police Department.

House approves health care reform by vote of 219-212.
"House approves health care reform by vote of 219-212."
Moments ago, the House of Representatives passed the Senate health care reform bill by a vote of 219-212, approving the most sweeping domestic legislation since Medicare. "Senator Kennedy wrote that access to health care was the great unfinished business of our society – that is, until today," said Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). Once the bill reached 215 votes, members began chanting "one more vote" and the chamber erupted in applause. Members excitedly counted down the last few seconds of the vote and started began chanting "yes we can." Watch it:

I thought it was pretty stylish, very wind proof almost impossible to blow out. good price. Didn't think that quality was so good i dropped mine a short distance and it snapped off the folding cover. still functional just not as nice looking its a pretty good lighter, does what you need it to and is ... Read more
I was quite surprised by this product that actually has a very nice quality! It feels quite heavy in your hand, and the metal with which it is built feels very very nice! I don't see any con really besides the fact that it uses gas quite quickly but it's not the fault of the product, it's just the way ... Read more
- Really heavy. Altough smaller than a zippo, it is heavier (63 gram), giving a solid and expensive feel to it. - It looks just beautifull - The light is helpfull reading the fuel level at night without giving it a cheap look. - The spiral makes it a real windproof lighter. You can barely blow it out ... Read more
Well made, sturdy, well finished Reliable ignition. Fairly wind resistant. The flame heats a wire element that glows red. This among other things make it easier to tell if it's ignited when using it outside in daylight. A bit heavy. Fairly small fuel tank. An unusual feature of this lighter is that the ... Read more
Like others have posted in their reviews, this is a very nice lighter for the money. Mine is a darker, almost charcoal gray satin finish rather than the silver in the photos, but it looks cool, and I honestly like it better than the silver anyway. The LED light is a nice touch, easy to check the fuel ... Read more
It's a nice, well built and elegant lighter. The led light looks cool so it adds up on the stethics. Refill is easy on this lighter The gas tank is small so you have to be filling it up quite often. It's a bit pricey, but i think the brand worths paying a bit more. The gas tank should be bigger. If you ... Read more
It looks really nice on you, people will ask you where you bought it and some people will even try to buy it from you. it has a relative small gas tank but thanks to the led light you can see how much gas is still in the tank. There are no con's really, accept maybe the gas tank is a little bit to small ... Read more
it's cheap, works great, looks good and bought 3 of them and they'll sure be useful. one little con is the color. like I said I bought 3 of them, but 1 has a bit of different color, not a big problem but eh, otherwise this box is so empty all 3 came with pretty much no gas inside it, so it was a good ... Read more
Honest brand = good quality. Windproof (at least wind resistant anyway) flame, better than other types outdoors. Nice satin finish metal. Illuminated sight glass (little LED inside which lights up when you open the top). Not likely to self-activate in your pocket. Nothing wrong with this product. This ... Read more

Andrew, I downloaded your EP a while ago. Rainclouds is beautiful!
Show = Tomorrow, 2/28
SubRosa Cafe
703 Pacific Ave
Santa Cruz, CA 95060
Donations encouraged, but no one will be turned away.
I will bump this again tomorrow make sure people see it (obnoxious? Maybe.) but we hope to see some of you guys there. It will be a lot of fun, I promise.
In other news, we have a single coming out soon...I'll pimp that on here when the time comes, of course.
Show is tonight. The show starts with our friends Th Mrcy Hot Sprngs at 7:00PM. All the info is above. Hopefully some folks can make it out.
So these are the details I have for the Northwest tour this weekend. I will update if I get more. We could really use the support, so if you are around or know someone who is around, come see us.
Friday, March 5 - Seattle
The Ballard Mine (w/ Ambulance, We Hate the Desert, Repeaters, Th Mrcy Hot Sprngs)
5113 Russell Ave NW
Seattle, WA 98107
$5 (I think)
Saturday, March 6 - Bellingham
The Toy-Haus (w/ Hunting Hat, Repeaters, Th Mrcy Hot Sprngs)
Still waiting on an address
Probably $0
Sunday, March 7 - Olympia
Blue House (w/ Thought Bandit, Repeaters, Th Mrcy Hot Sprngs)
925 Legion Way SE
Olympia, WA 98501
Probably $0
There might be some changes. Cause if we are doing short sets (15-20 mins) in Seattle, we have an opportunity to play a gallery opening in Olympia instead and play longer sets. So yeah. I'll post more here when I know what's up.
Yeah, Seattle isn't happening. When I don't organize things they go to shit. I'm so fucking mad.
None of it is happening now. Not worth it.
bummer dude.
I'm really, really mad.
...fuck. I feel even worse after how the SC show went to shit.
I'll get you a show at the Blue Lagoon next time, the acoustics in there are much better than SubRosa.
wait, your band is finished?
That Seattle venue looked odd. I'd never heard of it so I google street viewed it and found it to be a random blue building on a side street in Ballard. Hope the next tour pans out better.
Bay Area residents:
House show TONIGHT. Let The Tet Holiday melt your face with rock.
705 60th St, Oakland 94609.
Starts at 9
Our friends Th Mrcy Hot Sprngs will kick off the show, followed by us, followed by PARTY!!!, followed by Free Kittens. It will be fun. House shows always are. Come see us. It will be worth it, I promise.

My primary school want to display pupil work on a screen outside classrooms. Initially i was thinking of using powerpoint with embedded photos and videos running in a loop.
Then ithough of using a touch screen eqipped monitor or AllInOne unit to allow the "slides" to be skipped or paused.
Then I thought of using the powerpoint output to series of jpeg's feature to store the slides on a SD card and use it in a digital photoframe there are also some semi touch screen photoframes available
Then I remembered that many HDTV's have a JPEG slideshow feature running from SD card or usbstick. Does anyone know of a TV which will let you combine video and photos in a looping playlist. Cheap but at least 19" in size up to £300 ish???
There are also SD to HDMI media players available but would prefer it embedded into screen for simplicity.

|We finished paving the below deck patio today and I need to start making decisions for the 40 foot curved retaining wall for the fire pit patio. The retaining wall starts at one end at about 16 inches for three feet, rises to 24 for three feet, 30 inches for about five feet, 36 for about five feet, peaks at the center at 42 inches for about five feet and then starts sloping back down the other side in a similar fashion. I keep drawing it on graph paper but it looks like stair steps which is awful. Any thoughts on how to attractively do this? We have nice trees at either end, so I can't do much backfilled dirt at the ends. I think we have decided (cost pending) to install cinderblock faced with medium stack fieldstone and a cap.
Next, I'd like to put in a pondless waterfall at the top of the slope. It will come down the slope sideways a bit so we can see it from the deck above and then make its way down the center of the high point of the retaining wall. I don't want it to just plummet off the 42 inch wall bc of splashing and evaporation, so do I make that affected wall height shorter where the waterfall will be or eliminate that section of the wall all together? We're going to hire a mason to do the retaining wall and possibly a waterfall guy for the waterfall ( I just got a quote and almost had a heart attack on that one) but I think, after my grading issue, I should really educate myself on this before making decisions.

|From random photos
Someone please explain it to me how one can start a project that has so many elements and will cost a substantial amount of dollars without having some sort of a basic layout master plan before the shovel hits the ground ?
I can't even go to the grocery store without first thinking about what I plan to purchase and how much it might cost and others seemingly effortly can start carving away at the grade withous so much as a napkin sketch.
I must have some sort of OCD.
|Now, now, let's not berate those napkins sketches. Many a time I've doodled on a lunch sack and handed it up to a dozer operator.
|I thought this forum was for advice. Not snide remarks. I've read hundreds of various questions on this forum and have seen many questions like mine. If you don't have any advice or questions of your own, why are you on this landscape design forum? I didn't ask you guys to draw me a plan. I asked for comments on very specific items. If that's too much for you, then feel free to say nothing.
|I know you've got other pictures on here, but I'd update this thread with a GOOD picture that shows area and the context. Maybe from the opening (bottom) of the patio area looking into it. Not too close up.
|Most of us here would really like to help you lynn. The problem is that mere text is inadequate to convey to us the details of the landscape you have. Sometimes we try to guess at what might be beneficial, knowing that there is only a slim chance that it will be useful.
Photos of the site are always helpful and sometimes that is all that's needed to get responses that are appropriate suggestions. For those spending a lot on landscaping it really is important to do a base map/ master plan. While we can't do the drawing for you, we can guide you in doing it yourself if you are willing to expend the effort. With an accurate base map, the more experienced members are in a better position to give you better suggestions. In short, you get out of this forum what you put into it.
|Sure, I'm happy to post pics. Will go out in the morning and take some photos from further back and looking up. I had no intention for this project to get so big. It all started bc we needed to repair a sinking brick patio with a faulty retaining wall that we inherited when we bought the house a few years ago. I think the project went off the rails bc of the bobcat. We had to tear up a large part of the front shrub border and remove part of the fence just to get it back there bc there is simply no other access, so when the grader said "what about that fire pit patio?" I thought I better do it now or never. Fortunately, in my business, I have access to skilled (and sympathetic) tradesmen, but they don't build waterfalls....

|It's definitely do-able to design and create your own waterfall but there's a lot of research to do before you tackle the back-breaking work and expense. I would be tempted to "get my feet wet" (pun intended) by incorporating a simple weir at your proposed destination in the retaining wall. Lots of kits available out there. And you could always add the rest of the downhill stream at later time.
|d-d: LOL! I love that cartoon!!
|Ok, I listened to you guys and hired a landscape architect. The good news: He said the two oaks I was worried about would probably be just fine. Suggested I get an arborist out to give them some sort of treatment just in case. He liked my crude self drawn hardscape plan and had a couple of great suggestions. He said the retaining wall isn't such a big deal. He said to save money, I should use Belgard type of pavers and stop obsessing over wall height and live with a step down or two. He said NOT to do my own waterfall because I'll mess it up. And he gave me a nice planting plan using most of my existing shrubs. The bad news is that he said "Those two oaks over THERE need to be removed before you do anything. They're dying. Cost: $1900. They didn't look so dead to me, but he told me if they are dead on top, they are going to be dead all the way down. What a shame because they are big and beautiful. I may post another question just about dying oaks...

|Sorry,Sorry,Sorry some people look so dead to you.me too.But I misunderstand them sometime.I always answer you and made some the pics for you seriously and politely,include the retaining wall and the waterfall in the two other your thread.I would continue if you need.Sorry,some the members don't like that I always first one answer with many pics,I often wait,or is in other forum.So I don't find your posts about retaining wall and the waterfall QUICKLY in your other thread.
The case show QUICKLY be very important.

Top o' da morning' all! We went to a performance of "Million Dollar Quartet" yesterday. Had a great time! We had front row seats and the guy in the part of Elvis WAS Elvis; it was almost creepy! The face, the moves, the voice, every inflection in his speech. I swear, were he around in 1956, he could have performed on stage and I don't think anyone would have known the difference! His name is Cody Slaughter.
It's a very entertaining show; if y'all get a chance to see it, I'd highly recommend it.

Well, I guess all the Police in NY State will just have to destroy all their guns since the Police weapons are now illegal.
Read the last paragraph — the NY Senate could not have accomplished this without the Republicans cooperating.
In conclusion, we would be remiss were we to not mention our outrage at the conduct of the Senate Republican Coalition. Many of our membership contacted Senator Skelos' office on a regular basis to voice opposition to additional regulation of firearms and we assured that the senator's office was being flooded with similar calls. We have, in the past, always looked to the Republican party to protect the rights of law-abiding citizens…..

I had to laugh at this on page 3: "In addition, any semi-automatic pistol that has 1 'military-type' feature will, under the new law, be considered an assault weapon. While it may come as a surprise to the authors of the legislation, most semi-automatic pistols do in fact come with a pistol grip, making nearly every semi-automatic pistol an assault weapon and thus subject to registration on a yearly basis".

In geometry, an equilateral triangle is a triangle in which all three sides are equal. In traditional or Euclidean geometry, equilateral triangles are also equiangular; that is, all three internal angles are also congruent to each other and are each 60°. They are regular polygons, and can therefore also be referred to as regular triangles.
Assuming the lengths of the sides of the equilateral triangle are a, we can determine using the Pythagorean theorem that:
Many of these quantities have simple relationships to the altitude ("h") of each vertex from the opposite side:
In an equilateral triangle, the altitudes, the angle bisectors, the perpendicular bisectors and the medians to each side coincide.
A triangle ABC that has the sides a, b, c, semiperimeter s, area T, exradii ra, rb, rc (tangent to a, b, c respectively), and where R and r are the radii of the circumcircle and incircle respectively, is equilateral if and only if any one of the statements in the following eight categories is true. These are also properties of an equilateral triangle.
Three kinds of cevians are equal for (and only for) equilateral triangles:[8]
Every triangle center of an equilateral triangle coincides with its centroid, and for some pairs of triangle centers, the fact that they coincide is enough to ensure that the triangle is equilateral. In particular, a triangle is equilateral if any two of the circumcenter, incenter, centroid, or orthocenter coincide.[9] It is also equilateral if its circumcenter coincides with the Nagel point, or if its incenter coincides with its nine-point center.[1]
For any triangle, the three medians partition the triangle into six smaller triangles.
Morley's trisector theorem states that, in any triangle, the three points of intersection of the adjacent angle trisectors form an equilateral triangle.
Napoleon's theorem states that, if equilateral triangles are constructed on the sides of any triangle, either all outward, or all inward, the centers of those equilateral triangles themselves form an equilateral triangle.
A version of the isoperimetric inequality for triangles states that the triangle of greatest area among all those with a given perimeter is equilateral.[11]
Viviani's theorem states that, for any interior point P in an equilateral triangle, with distances d, e, and f from the sides, d + e + f = the altitude of the triangle, independent of the location of P.[12]
Pompeiu's theorem states that, if P is an arbitrary point in an equilateral triangle ABC, then there exists a triangle with sides of length PA, PB, and PC.
By Euler's inequality, the equilateral triangle has the smallest ratio R/r of the circumradius to the inradius of any triangle: specifically, R/r = 2.
The triangle of largest area of all those inscribed in a given circle is equilateral; and the triangle of smallest area of all those circumscribed around a given circle is equilateral.[13]
The ratio of the area of the incircle to the area of an equilateral triangle, , is larger than that of any non-equilateral triangle.[14]
The ratio of the area to the square of the perimeter of an equilateral triangle, is larger than that for any other triangle.[11]
Given a point in the interior of an equilateral triangle, the ratio of the sum of its distances from the vertices to the sum of its distances from the sides equals 2 and is less than that of any other triangle.[15] This is the Erdős–Mordell inequality; a stronger variant of it is Barrow's inequality, which replaces the perpendicular distances to the sides with the distances to the points where the angle bisectors cross the sides.
For any point P in the plane, with distances p, q, and t from the vertices A, B, and C respectively,[16]
For any point P on the inscribed circle of an equilateral triangle, with distances p, q, and t from the vertices,[16]
For any point P on the minor arc BC of the circumcircle, with distances p, q, and t from A, B, and C respectively,[16]
moreover, if point D on side BC divides PA into segments PD and DA with DA having length z and PD having length y, then[12]
which also equals if t ≠ q; and
An equilateral triangle is the most symmetrical triangle, having 3 lines of reflection and rotational symmetry of order 3 about its center. Its symmetry group is the dihedral group of order 6 D3.
Equilateral triangles are the only triangles whose Steiner inellipse is a circle (specifically, it is the incircle).
Equilateral triangles are found in many other geometric constructs. The intersection of circles whose centers are a radius width apart is a pair of equilateral arches, each of which can be inscribed with an equilateral triangle. They form faces of regular and uniform polyhedra. Three of the five Platonic solids are composed of equilateral triangles. In particular, the regular tetrahedron has four equilateral triangles for faces and can be considered the three dimensional analogue of the shape. The plane can be tiled using equilateral triangles giving the triangular tiling.
An equilateral triangle is easily constructed using a compass and straightedge. Draw a straight line, and place the point of the compass on one end of the line, and swing an arc from that point to the other point of the line segment. Repeat with the other side of the line. Finally, connect the point where the two arcs intersect with each end of the line segment
Alternate method:
Draw a circle with radius r, place the point of the compass on the circle and draw another circle with the same radius. The two circles will intersect in two points. An equilateral triangle can be constructed by taking the two centers of the circles and either of the points of intersection.
The proof that the resulting figure is an equilateral triangle is the first proposition in Book I of Euclid's Elements.
Equilateral triangles have frequently appeared in man made constructions:
The area of a triangle is half the base a times the height h,
The legs of the right triangle are half of the base and the height, while the hypotenuse is the side or base of the equilateral triangle. The height of an equilateral triangle can be found using the Pythagorean theorem
The equation can be rearranged to find the square of the height
The height is the square root of the equation. Thus
By substituting , the formula for the area of an equilateral triangle can be derived according to
Using trigonometry, the area of a triangle with any two sides a and b, and an angle C between them is
Each angle of an equilateral triangle is 60°, so
The sine of 60° is . Thus
since all sides of an equilateral triangle are equal.

NY1 highlights the coolest and newest apps for your cell phone or mobile device in the twice-weekly segment "App Wrap." NY1's Adam Balkin filed the following report.
Developers say the predictions are based on factors that could slow a commute, like accidents, construction and police activity, coupled with lots and lots of historical data on congested specific roads during any hour of any day.
The app lets users input a route, and then it says who long it will take. Then scroll a section at the top to adjust the start time and the app will show if it might make more sense to wait an hour or two or several to avoid gridlock.
"Inrix Traffic" is a free app for iOS, Android, Blackberry and Windows phones. An in-app premium upgrade for $24.99 adds certain features like access to live traffic cameras.
While the lite version is free, an upgrade to the full version for 99 cents lets users pick their favorite types of places. Someone who likes Cracker Barrel restaurants can then see only exits that have Cracker Barrels, or receive an alert when he or she is approaching an exit with a Cracker Barrel.
It can also show which upcoming exits are offering promotions or sales.
"iExit" is an iOS-only app that has a free lite version and a 99-cent version with all the features.
