Signage Issue on Edgewood? ► Open250 Auburn Avenue Northeast Atlanta, Georgia
Yesterday, I observed a car traveling northbound on Bell Street at a high rate of speed. Bell Street is one-way southbound. The driver went through intersection at Bell Street and Auburn Avenue against the green. Since the driver was traveling the wrong way, he/she could not see that the light was red and traffic on Auburn Avenue had the right-of-way. Please check the signage at Bell Street and Edgewood Ave to make sure Bell Street is clearly marked as one way.· Reported by An anonymous SeeClickFix user · Share · Flag Flagged

New Lanes ► Open404-420 Decatur Street Southeast Atlanta, Georgia
I'm just wondering who in the world thought it was a good idea to change the lanes from two lanes on each direction to one lane with an interchangeable turn lane down the middle? This does not work, I drive straight down Dekalb ave/Decatur st. every morning to get to work and it's quick, it works because I drive in the left lane to pass everyone turning right off these streets. This is a complete joke for people who actually stay on these streets. I'm now going to have to sit behind everyone who turns right at the Hill st. intersection instead of driving past them in the left lane.
Not to mention that this morning, I had no idea this had been done, so I can around the corner where dekalb ave turns into decatur st, and all of the sudden the middle lane I was in, turned into the interchangeable turn lane with someone sitting in it! I almost had an accident. It's now also going to take 20+ mins to even get onto Decatur st. from the parking decks at Jesse Hill Jr Dr. intersection because there is no left turn signal to turn onto Decatur st, meaning two cars turning left at the most get through the light.
Were these changes seriously studied because I very much believe this is going to make traffic worse, and I wonder if the people who decided these have ever even driven on this street during rush hour. Thanks a lot for making my commute even longer and more stressful.· Reported by Disbelief (Guest) · Share · Flag Flagged

Football: Terry grabs late Chelsea winner to end Everton resistance
Published on Feb 22, 2014 11:19 PM
LONDON (REUTERS) - Captain John Terry grabbed a stoppage-time winner to snatch Chelsea a 1-0 win over Everton on Saturday which maintained the London club's Premier League title challenge.
After drawing their last league game against West Bromwich Albion and suffering a chastening FA Cup defeat by rivals Manchester City, Jose Mourinho's side were looking for a morale-boosting return to form.
Yet they looked sluggish for most of the match and when they finally sparked into life they came up against a stubborn Everton rear guard which only crumbled when a free kick from Frank Lampard found Terry who slid the ball home from close range.
Leaders Chelsea moved to 60 points from 27 games, four clear of second-placed Arsenal who face Sunderland at home later on Saturday.

Pot For Pain? More Patients Are Saying Yes
Are patients in medical cannabis states substituting pot for potentially lethal painkillers? It appears that way.
Paul Armentano is the deputy director for NORML, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, and is the co-author of the book, "Marijuana Is Safer: So Why Are We Driving People to Drink?"
Are patients in medical cannabis states substituting pot for potentially lethal painkillers? It appears that way.
Despite over 70 years of federal prohibition, tens of thousands of people throughout the nation are right now purchasing marijuana. But only in Colorado are these transactions legal, regulated, and taxed. The product being marketed is of known quality and potency. The seller is not a black-market dealer; rather, he or she is a paid employee of a licensed business explicitly authorized to engage in such transactions. The profits from these transactions bring fiscal benefits to the local community, not the black-market economy.
On Thursday, August 1, Illinois Democratic Governor Pat Quinn signed legislation into law authorizing patients with a qualifying illness to legally possess and procure medical marijuana. Illinois joins 19 other states and the District of Columbia in its acknowledgement that marijuana is safe and efficacious as a therapeutic agent.
Voters in Colorado and Washington made history on Election Day. For the first time ever, a majority of voters decided at the ballot box to abolish cannabis prohibition.
The views on marijuana legalization expressed in The Daily Caller last week by The Heritage Foundation's Charles Stimson ("Why we shouldn't legalize marijuana," July 19, 2012) are woefully out of step with contemporary science and public opinion.

Deryck Whibley drops Avril Lavigne from legal name
JUST ADDED: 5 Seconds of Summer will be rocking the stage at this year's iHeartRadio Music Festival Village in Las Vegas! The band sat down with Ryan Seacrest to break the news.�Click here to buy your tickets now, before they sell out!
Check out the full lineup for this year's iHeartRadio Music Festival
Listen to Sum 41 on iHeartRadio | Listen to Avril Lavigne on iHeartRadio
Deryck Whibley is starting his road to recovery with a name change.
TMZ says the Sum 41 frontman has officially changed his last name back to Whibley after taking his ex-wife Avril Lavigne's last name in 2006. The couple divorced in 2010, and Deryck filed to get his original name back after Avril moved on with Chad Kroeger last year.
Avril and Deryck have remained friendly since ending their marriage. The singer shared her public support for Deryck after he collapsed and landed in the hospital due to years of alcohol abuse.
In an update on his website earlier this month, the rocker told fans he's "getting better every day" and working on physical therapy to get him walking on his own.

my only qualm with this is, if im going to drop the coin on a aluminum 427 BB, why not spend the money on the 427 SB? the boss 351 block from ford...
so you dont think its possible out of a 427?
heres a few setups I was reading about elsewhere on the net:
course those are just internet...
for the 427w I was thinking about using the new boss 351 ford racing block...
so Im looking for some insight
this is a 1967 v8 coupe that currently has a roller 5.0 swap
ok, so my goals are 550-600 rwhp n/a and something...
how much you spending on it? just for reference, my mach is for sale for $16,900
SN95 is 28 spline, S197 is 31 spline
well....the mach 1 is for sale....i miss the 67 too much....so now...its time to do research and figure out what i need to start looking into
i was mad i had to miss it....only time i was able to travel home before the busy holiday at work
as far as vehicles....i can talk about camry's that have thrown rods at 150k miles that were well maintained and i can talk about an f350 with 270k...
does everything
same 8.8" design, but 05+ use 31 spline setups vs. our 28 spline setups
my buddy had almost the same setup that the OP is talking about...except instead of LT's he had a BBK twin 60mm throttle body....he ran a best of...

One of our goal of the month contenders... A bit of unfortunate tackle... View the video here:
Sergio Ramos has called on his national team-mates, Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa to play for the Spain even if they are not 100% fit. Sergio Ramos was quoted saying: "Above all I would have liked the players to show the same commitment to the national team as they do to their club. You must communicate this commitment and spirit to all the new players. Whether your club pays, or the national team."
Do you agree with Ramos? Has club football become more important than that of national football? Have your say and please follow on WhoSay: http://www.whosay.com/l/trz9Dno

Yeah got it on my android! Such as addictive game!!! Got about 4 different people on the go!
Anyone one else got this on their tablet/mobile device? Got it on both iPad and Android Phone and love it. Playing against a few friends and the mussis and it's seriously addictive! For those who don't know what it is, you draw something from a list of three things for your opponent. Your sketch is then sent to your opponents device and they have to guess what it is. They then pick a subject and send you a drawing. Repeat many times.
If anyone fancies a game, you can find me under the username of Rawnz.
The free app has adds, and the pay-for App is only 69p. Well worth checking out.

DIY Network's Under Construction breaks the mold of do-it-yourself television, delving deep into the world of big city construction. The show follows licensed contractors John DeSilvia and John Palanca as they build, demolish, renovate and refurbish projects all over New York City. Beyond the massive construction projects that keep them on the run, JD and Palanca deal with the daily drama of running a small business in the Big Apple: demanding clients, inflexible city officials and staffers with, shall we say, questionable work ethics. Funny, exciting and innovative, a show as watchable as Under Construction is long overdue.

So yea... I am sans my right foot!
(edit: This was taken in a mirror! I'm positive I'm missing my right foot, not the left.)
My story - I was born with a few minor deformities of my right foot/leg. Most importantly: my right leg was shorter than the left. Over 18 years of having to walk on my tiptoes (I tried all kinds of other things... braces, lifts on my shoes, surgeries, etc), my foot became more deformed (my heel was no longer on the ground, but located a few inches upward) and it, along with the whole leg, was weak. The discrepancy also caused me lots of backpain. So... I had my foot amputated in June 2007. A hard decision, but something had to be done. Now I use a prosthetic foot to get around. Though... I can be found hopping around my house when I'm feeling particularly lazy. :p So far, my prosthesis has served me well. However, like I mentioned, my whole right leg is weak. Especially my knee. So one of these days, I'll have another amputation after which I'll procure another pretty photo for you guys. :)
The following is a silly article I wrote some time ago on why it's awesome to be an amputee:
1. Handicap parking.
People may glare at me when I get out of the car because, at first glance, nobody can tell I'm not some lazy teenager stealing my grandmother's handicap placard, but nobody has ever said anything. I'm just waiting for that so I can rip my leg off and show them what's up.
2. Get people to do stuff for you.
"I can't sit on the floor, get me a chair!" "I don't wanna put my 'leg' on, get me some water!" Okay... so I don't really bark orders at people. In general, people that know of my handicap, try to make it easy on me and help me without my asking. And I appreciate it!
3. Personal Safety Device.
Imagine someone trying to mug me and I start whacking them with my leg.
4. Conversation starter.
When meeting someone new or trying to re-start a conversation, this always works:
Person1: .....
Me: *Take of my leg*
Person1: Ahhh! ... Wow! That's neat! How'd that happen?
BAM! I just made a new friend. Though I do have to be careful not to freak people out because sometimes people are sensitive.
5. Wheelchairs.
Rolling around, getting pushed around, using those electric scooters... need I say more?
6. Shorter lines at Disneyland.
Yes, there are separate handicap lines for all the rides at Disneyland. And my whole party gets to come with me and bypass the 1 or 2 hour wait.
7. My socks last forever.
I only need one sock a day, so that's the double the socks! And now I can put to use all those that don't have a match.
8. The cool stories.
Now, telling people the same ol' story gets boring, "Yea, I was born with one leg shorter than t... blah blah blah". Insteaaad, why not make up some crazy adventure! Like getting mauled by a bear in the woods, swimming in the ocean and a shark bit off my leg, etc. Just think of the possibilities!
By the way, I'm not trying to offend anyone. Just trying to be a bit humorous. I certainly don't get offended when people make jokes about my amputation! I rather laugh about it than get depressed over it. I'm very thankful for what I've been given. :)

Use colorful scrapbook paper to fold together cute little boxes in no time at all. Add ribbon and other embellishments for the perfect gift boxes, from Heidi Borchers of Inspired at Home.
- 2 sheets of scrapbook paper for each box –
- 12" x 12″ sheet of paper makes a box 2-1/8″ x 4-1/4″ x 4-1/4″
- 10″ x 10″ sheet of paper makes a box 1-3/4″ x 3-1/2″ x 3-1/2″
- 8″ x 8″ sheet of paper makes a box 1-1/2″ x 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″
- Aleene's® Original Tacky Glue Sticks
- Aleene's® Super Thick Tacky Glue™
- Embellishments – ribbons
For making a box from 12″ x 12″ paper, center and draw a 4-1/4″ square on wrong side of paper (diagram 1). Referring to this diagram, label corners A, B, C and D and center square E as shown. Fold each corner in to meet at center of E (diagram 2). Fold top and bottom edges in to meet at center (diagram 3). Fold side edges in to meet at center. Unfold paper. Referring to diagram 1, cut along broken lines only. Do not cut into center square E. Label flaps f, g, h and i as shown. Refold corners A and C to center. fold each edge up, forming 2 sides of box and overlapping flaps f and g (diagram 4). Use a swipe of Aleene's Glue Stick to hold flaps together. Fold in flaps h and i and use a swipe of glue to secure (diagram 5). Refold corners B and D to center to complete box top (diagram 6). Use a smudge of glue to hold. For box bottom, trim 1/8″ from each edge of paper square and repeat steps. Decorate box as desired using Aleene's Super Thick Tacky Glue for your heavier embellishments. Enjoy!

The Pathetic Truth About Memorial Day and How to Fix It
By saying we "do not have time," we seem to fancy the notion that people in our generation are somehow "busier" than people of previous epochs. Well, it is certainly true that we are very busy doing lots of stuff today that our forbearers never did.
For example, according to Nielsen , the average American above the age of two spends about 6.5 hours per day watching TV; they spend about 4.5 hours surfing the Internet on PCs, smart phones and tablets; they spend about an hour talking on cell phones. And this does not even fully reflect how stressed Americans are, since they are multi-tasking between all of the above for about three of those 11 total hours spent consuming various forms of media!
Some of us like to fancy that many of the 4.5 hours per day spent online is work related -- such as checking email at home and such. But studies show that the vast majority of time online in America is spent on social networking (i.e., Facebook (FB)and Twitter), games and other forms of online entertainment. Only about 5% of all online time is actually consumed for business purposes. And every single labor study that I have seen shows that Americans with full-time jobs work fewer total hours today than they did 50 or 100 years ago.
So, not "having time" is just a bad excuse.The bottom line is, that when it comes to honoring those who died in battle in the service of their nation, Americans just don't give a damn any more.
Why We Don't CareLet's not fool ourselves. It's not that people 50 years ago "didn't have anything better to do with their time." For example, when you are a farmer, there is simply not enough time in the day to do all the things that one theoretically could do to make a plot of land more productive and earn more money. While the Internet had not yet been invented, there were plenty of neighborhood bars and Domino tables at friends' houses to keep one entertained with games and social networking.

NEW YORK — The nor'easter that stymied recovery efforts from superstorm Sandy pulled away from New York and New Jersey on Thursday, leaving a blanket of thick, wet snow that snapped storm-weakened trees and downed power lines, but didn't appear to add much more to the devastation.
Storm in Sandy-torn region doesn't add much damage

Has anyone any experience of courses at itlearneasy.com as I have been considering using them but it is a lot to lay out. Training is never cheap though in IT, any experience with them anyone?
Not done one by them, but I decided to refresh myself and my aged BTEC last year and do Cisco ITE via a local college, by distance learning and net based exams..that wasn't very expensive at all, and I was able to incorporate it into my day.
Really should look at doing another..

RelaDyne Takes Swift Action On Product Recall
CINCINNATI, April 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Petroleum Quality Institute of America (PQIA) recently issued a Consumer Alert on Bullet 5w30 products which failed to meet the claimed product specifications. RelaDyne, a distributor of the Bullet brand, took immediate action to identify the affected products and remove them from the marketplace.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110301/CL56910LOGO )
Oil Distributing Company, RelaDyne's Cincinnati, Ohio valley branch, has been marketing Bullet branded oils for more than ten years. Bullet, a product sold in the Midwest area C-store market, does not claim current API certification. It is sold and positioned in the market at customer request as an entry level, lowest price point product for convenience stores.
After being unhappy with the labeling and packaging aspects of the current supplier of Bullet products, RelaDyne switched suppliers in the fall of 2012. When PQIA issued the Consumer Alert in late March 2013, RelaDyne took immediate action and found the product affected originated from the previous supplier, who used red caps on the Bullet packaging.RelaDyne executed an aggressive recall of Bullet 5W30, 5W20, and 10W30 oils and took additional actions to proactively replace Type A ATF and ND30 products as well. Approximately 163 cases in the market have been identified and are being collected. Larry Stoddard, CEO of RelaDyne, gave the following statement to PQIA: "The particular manufacturer of this recalled product is no longer in business and we purchased product from them only for a brief time. We have identified all of the products that were sold and to what customers. We have contacted each customer and instructed them to pull the product from the shelves, and we are currently in the process of replacing it with product that meets the specifications as claimed on the packaging."

Wait 'til you see this clip of Tripp calling his mom and her friend a "F-bomb"…SMH
Levi Johnston Wants Full Custody Of Tripp, Believes Bristol Can't Control Him
According to TMZ reports:
Levi Johnston believes Bristol Palin is a TERRIBLE PARENT — and the proof is in her reality show … in which she lets their son Tripp run wild, talk back, curse, and show no respect to his elders … so he's decided to take action … and seek full custody.
In case you're like most of the country, and haven't been watching Bristol's new reality show "Life's a Tripp" — her and Levi's son has been a little ball of trouble … and in one recent episode, even called his aunt Willow the f-word.
During the same episode, Bristol admits, "I'm doing a terrible job disciplining Tripp."
Now, Levi's had enough — telling TMZ, he's been watching the show and is "disgusted" by his son's language and behavior. Levi says his son is on a "downward spiral" and getting "no real parenting."
Levi tells us, Tripp "deserves a better family" than what Bristol and the rest of the Palins are providing — adding, "I love my son more than anything .. and I will do whatever it takes to make sure he is raised the right way."
To ensure that happens, Levi dropped by the courthouse in Wasilla, Alaska this week to pick up all the necessary paperwork to obtain full custody of Tripp — and he plans to file it ASAP.
If Sarah is considering getting back into politics she might want to think twice, her family is fawked up!

Watch the Call of Duty: Ghosts 'All-Access' stream here
(We've moved the player down to the bottom of the post because we can't turn off the autoplay and it's annoying the hell out of me, so follow through to the full post for the stream.)
Activision is about to drop some knowledge about Call of Duty: Ghosts ahead of the Electronic Entertainment Expo this week. An informative stream with all manner of details is set to launch at 11am Pacific and you can watch the whole thing in this little player doo-dad.
I'm expecting that we will discover lots of details about the canine enhancements. I believe we may see a dog we can have a real relationship with, something we're going to deeply care about and form a special, personal bond. And then, just at the moment when all seems lost, the mutt will rush in and sacrifice itself to prevent a suitcase nuke from going off in Times Square.
Disappoint me, Activision. Please, for the love of all that is holy, fail to meet my expectations this one time.
