ANAHEIM (AP) — Nick Johnson scored the go-ahead goal with 5:31 left in the third period, Casey Wellman and Pierre-Marc Bouchard scored 32 seconds apart in the second period, leading the Minnesota Wild to a 5-3 victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday night.
Matt Cullen had three assists for Minnesota against his former club, and Josh Harding made 24 saves. Dany Heatley scored a power-play goal and Kyle Clutterbuck added a short-handed empty-netter with 10.2 seconds left for Minnesota in the opener of a five-game trip.
Anaheim is 0-2 since recently deposed Washington coach Bruce Boudreau replaced Randy Carlyle behind the bench. The Ducks, who have won just three of their last 21 games, squandered a 2-0 lead just two nights after blowing a 3-0 advantage in Boudreau's debut — a 4-3 overtime loss to Philadelphia.

With a new year, comes new resolutions... and a church in Greenville is challenging its members to perform acts of love and kindness in the community for the next couple of weeks...
Members at Greenville's First Assembly of God are on a mission. Along with a new year, they've started a challenge called "21 Days," where Pastor Lane Simmons is promoting the next three weeks to reaching out to others.
"It shows the love of God and it shows people that they're special. And I think this would be a good year to just start reaching out of our comfort zone," Said Simmons.
It's a set of four acts, where members are encouraged to engage in 21 days of positive speaking, fasting, no unneccesary spending and prayer. This year, the church has added 21 days of kindness to the project.
"We get caught up, we're Christians, in everyday life and sometimes we forget the love that we have inside of us and we don't really scratch the surface all the time in the love that is there. And I think the more love we show, the greater our gift is," Said church member, Mark Morris. Simmons is encouraging people to perform a good deed each day as part of the project.
Ricky Crysell has participated in the 21 Day challenge the last three years. He says it has changed his life.
"I've seen God take things that I've had, like in bondage and addictions, and broke me... broke addictions off me. Things that used to bother me don't bother me no more," Said church member, Crysell.
And it's a message that's inspired other church members to take on the challenge.
"I will be doing something today for someone. Possibly call someone or send a card to them," Said another church member, June Middleton.
This might be a 21 day project, but Pastor Simmons tells CBS 8 he hopes this will inspire people to go beyond the three weeks. He says he hopes other churches join in on this, as well.
Pastor Simmons is also trying to encourage people to read the entire Bible in 2013.

Are you really this idiotic?!? Was Clady a rookie this year?
Here's what he did BEFORE Manning:
Clady finished third in voting behind Matt Ryan and Chris Johnson for the 2008 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Award.
He was the only offensive lineman to receive any votes.
Clady started every game during the 2008 NFL season and gave up just a half of a sack while committing only three penalties.
He was the only starting NFL offensive lineman to give up less than one sack for the entire season.
He was named to the Associated Press NFL All-Pro Second Team behind Michael Roos and Jordan Gross.
As of May 2009, Sporting News lists
Clady as the No. 1 offensive tackle in the NFL.
After the Broncos' October 4, 2009 victory over the Dallas Cowboys,
Clady set a new NFL record for consecutive games to start a career without giving up a full sack.
Through 20 games, he has surrendered only one half of a sack.
Clady was named a starter for the 2010 Pro Bowl and was named First-team All-Pro by the Sporting News and Associated Press after the 2009 season.
On April 28, 2010, Clady injured his patella tendon while playing basketball but did not miss a game the following season.
On January 17, 2012, Clady was added to the 2012 Pro Bowl roster along with teammate Willis McGahee.

Good price for real gemstones
By Jingle
from Dartmouth
I bought these earrings at a clearance price and the moonstones are nice but the wires are very flimsy and need a good cleaning as they are discolored but will hopefully clean up with a polishing cloth. Not sure I can even find a rubber backing small enough to stay put on these wires but the price was right. I purchased the comfort bracelet and necklace that match some time ago and when I saw these earrings on clearance decided to get them to wear as a set. Wish the wires were thicker as they bent very easily when I tried to clean them. If I had paid the full price for them with the less than substantial wires, I would probably have returned them but they are a color I can wear with anything.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Love these earrings!
By LOVE TO SHOP
from OLDS
These earrings are comfortable and light to wear, a great size and can be worn with just about any colour outfit. They are very neutral, make a great pair of go-to earrings and the moonstone is mostly a very light peachy colour, or pinky beige, but you can tell they are made from real gemstones. I get a lot of wear out of mine, so glad I got them, even though I paid more than this clearance price.
Loving the unique color
By Darlene
from Mississauga
Light weight and such a great neutral color that can be worn with any color or outfit.I think they are a great everyday wear pair of earrings.Worth getting at this price.

If you have an overwhelming need for speed, our friends at Bringatrailer.com may have spotted the car for you. They found a 1964 Corvette Stingray for sale on eBay that has been a vintage racecar since 1972 and was last raced in the Historic Vintage Festival at Lime Rock Park in 2013.
Looking for a different kind of C1?
Then you might want to check into this 1958 Corvette racer currently being auctioned on eBay. The bid has reached $60,000, but you can buy it now for $89,500.
Back in August one of the famous Owens-Corning L88 Corvette racecars went up for bids at RM's Monterey auction. There it was a no sale at a stout $730,000. If you're still looking to do something with your spare million or so bucks before the Fiscal Cliff hits don't worry. You'll have another chance to snag this magnificent Corvette at Barrett-Jackson's Scottsdale auction next month in Arizona.
2013 is looking to be an eventful year for the Chevrolet Corvette.
Now we can add yet another laurel to the crown of America's Sports Car, which is celebrating its 60th model anniversary in 2013.
Officials at the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion just announced that the Corvette will be the featured marquee in 2013. Corvette held the same distinction in 2002.
Paul Newman's last competitive car – a 2002 Corvette racer adorned with patriotic red, white and blue paint – made it past the low end of the pre-auction estimates at a Florida sale over the weekend – but not by much.
The famous actor's car brought $275,000 at RM Auctions' sale in Amelia Island on Saturday, March 10, just above the bottom of the range of $250,000 to $350,000 that had been estimated by experts in the weeks before the sale.

Why Bank of America (BAC) Stock Is Down Today
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Bank of America (BAC) fell Wednesday after McKinsey & Company reported large dealers could face $2.5 billion to $4.5 billion in losses from the $13 billion in revenue generated last year from large global interest rates markets.
New reforms are changing the U.S. swaps market, and McKinsey said global dealers must offer a quick answer as they face the major revenue decline. The reforms to U.S. derivatives arrive just as global dealers face pressure from low volatility and decreasing volumes, which have led to a significant decline in their fixed income, currency and commodity, or FICC, revenue.
J.P. Morgan Chase (JPM) and Citigroup (C) recently decreased their expectations for their second-quarter FICC results.
Must Read: Warren Buffett's 25 Favorite StocksSTOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more. The stock was down 0.84% to $15.36 at 10:43 a.m. Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates BANK OF AMERICA CORP as a "buy" with a ratings score of B. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate BANK OF AMERICA CORP (BAC) a BUY. This is driven by a few notable strengths, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its reasonable valuation levels, expanding profit margins, notable return on equity and increase in stock price during the past year. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:
- The gross profit margin for BANK OF AMERICA CORP is currently very high, coming in at 84.82%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Regardless of the strong results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of -1.08% is in-line with the industry average.
- BANK OF AMERICA CORP has experienced a steep decline in earnings per share in the most recent quarter in comparison to its performance from the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, BANK OF AMERICA CORP increased its bottom line by earning $0.91 versus $0.25 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.92 versus $0.91).
- BAC, with its decline in revenue, slightly underperformed the industry average of 2.7%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 4.6%. Weakness in the company's revenue seems to have hurt the bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.
- The return on equity has improved slightly when compared to the same quarter one year prior. This can be construed as a modest strength in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Commercial Banks industry and the overall market on the basis of return on equity, BANK OF AMERICA CORP underperformed against that of the industry average and is significantly less than that of the S&P 500.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport has upheld Luis Suarez's four-month ban for biting an opponent at the World Cup, but cleared him to train with Barcelona.
CAS said FIFA's sanctions against Suarez are "generally proportionate to the offence committed".
Suarez cannot play for Barcelona until October 26, and he remains banned for Uruguay's next eight competitive matches.
Suarez has admitted to biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini's shoulder during Uruguay's 1-0 win at the World Cup.
"The sanctions imposed on the player by FIFA have been generally confirmed,'' the court said in a statement. "However, the 4-month suspension will apply to official matches only and no longer to other football-related activities (such as training, promotional activities and administrative matters).''
Banning Suarez from training would have meant the ban "would still have an impact on his activity after the end of the suspension", the panel ruled.
Suarez, who left Liverpool for Barcelona after the World Cup, appeared at the court's fast-track hearing last Friday in an effort to reduce his ban.

Discussion in 'Political Discussion' started by DisgruntledTunaFan, Apr 1, 2010.
YouTube - Obama Admits He Is A Muslim
Wow, it looks like far right wingers have attended the Michael Moore school for advancing agenda through the use of clever editing
What's hysterical is the number of people that fall for it as seen in the comments by both Obama defenders and Obama haters.
Why do they keep calling him "the first african american president" he's just as much white as african american.
Billy Boy Blue Dress was America's first Black President, Jessie Jackoff said so.
He is whiter than you Harry.... He went to Harvard:singing:
It's Bush's fault that Obamma is a muslim
You don't need Obama to admit it, you can just look it up in Koran, if your father is a muslim, you are a muslim......Dreams of my Father...................
Here is my Book Of PFnV:
1. If your screen name is FreeTedWilliams, you are a PFnVian, regardless of what religion you believe yourself to be.
Well, Ted, my apologies to whatever faith you believe yourself to be, or to the throngs of atheists or agnostics. You are a PFnVian. You can just look it up in the Book of PFnV.
According to your book, if your parents are Jewish, are you "born a Jew"?
I think we both know the answer to this question.
This thread is going downhill at a high speed.
Yes, I can see it coming, Left Wing Liberals go insane when the "Muslim Religion" is in anyway frowned upon or criticized, Jesus & God can be dragged thru a septic tank and then thrown into the town dump and all the Liberal will do is snicker and giggle, but Don't Mess With Allah or The Burka.
Weird isn't it-------------
When you say "wierd" and "religion" in the same post, it's just redundant to me.
Can't understand American Liberalisms love affair with one religion (Islam) and total disgust and sometimes hatred for another (Christianity)
The liberals laughed and scratched themselves when The Liberal Art Center in NYC had a Bottle Of Pi$s with a statue of Christ floating in it but should a Christian say one wrong word about Mohammad they are called "Racist" -----Weird
Here's my favorite again, imagine how the Left would react if Billy Graham, Pat Robinson or Father Flanigan did this..lol.
I suggest you look up the word generalization, Harry....and then quit doing it.
I just added something to it the post before yours.................
Are you Really Hairy......Boy :bricks:
Or did your mother say Harry boy now make all gone with your veggies
Or is your real first name something like Bob, or Dave but for some reason you decided to use Harry ???? :singing:
......Nelson Hardy.................
The mother, actually, according to the book(s). That's Talmud, by the way, not Tanakh, I believe. I don't think you'd find it in the Hebrew bible, but I'm not a biblical scholar.
Now then, PR, were you born to a Jewish mother, Jews would accord you certain perks, should you show up somewhere to claim said perks - namely, membership in one of the less popular religious groups on the face of the earth. You may not immediately be entrusted with the secrets of the Conspiracy and all that, or the mailing lists for the Masons or Communists, but you'd be welcomed with relatively open arms.
It does not logically follow, however, that were you born to a Jewish mother that you would consider yourself Jewish.
To illustrate, here is chapter 2 of the Book of PFnV:
2. Anybody whose screenname is PatriotsReign is a PFnVian.
You are, therefore, a PFnVian. You can look it up.
I now declare in the presence of all who witness this post, I have always been and always will be a PFiVA fan!:rocker:
I am not a biblical scholar either, so take it with a grain of salt, but you can follow the logic of a few select passages and deduce that it must be the mother that determines nationality. Not that it's a big deal. To those who would only consider the Tanakh (or the Christian OT) when addressing the issue, Jewishness is likely not important. For those for whom Jewishness is genuinely important, the Mishnah (Kiddushin 3:12) is good enough.

An Illinois teenager abandoned in a freezing, snow covered cemetery as an infant has been reunited with the man who saved her life.
The story begins back in November, 1995 on a very cold morning in Champaign, Illinois.
"My birth mother abandoned me," explains Skyler James. "I was left in a cemetery. That night, there was a call put out to the dispatchers."
An anonymous woman called 911 around 7a.m. that morning and told dispatchers a child had been abandoned under a pine tree at Mt. Hope Cemetery.
Police and fire crews were dispatched there, but couldn't find anything.
That's when local firefighter Charlie Heflin, who happened to be listening to the scanner traffic, decided to help.
On a hunch, Charlie went to a different nearby cemetery to look for the infant.
He didn't find anything and started walking to his truck, but something told him to check again.
"I heard a little whimper when I got close to the tree,' said Charlie. "I dug down inside this real huge pine tree and found her."

Need money factor and residual for an A6 3.0L Prestige
trombone1973 Posts: 1
edited April 1 in Audi
Anybody know what the money factor, and 36/39 month residual is for an 2014 A6 3.0L Prestige? Also, has an MSRP of $60,615. Discount of $2390 (not enough in my opinion) and $2500 in rebates. They are telling me 52% / .00151 at 36/12K That seems way off to me? Thank you in advance

Mark Wahlberg Shoots Wahlburgers Reality Show Pilot

Nicole Remini Fact-Checks the Chicago Sun-Times
First, there was Paul Haggis; then, no doubt, the fear that Katie Holmes would speak out if wrongly handled. One summer later, after the Cruise-Holmes divorce, the Church of Scientology's media relations folks (and outside crisis PR firm) must now deal with the media pit stops of Leah Remini's feisty older sister Nicole.
It started, as we reported, with a Minneapolis-St.Paul FM radio station (Remini lives in the area). Today, it continues – and oh, how it continues – with The Underground Bunker's Tony Ortega.
One detail that jumped out for us is Nicole's allegation that a portion of Bill Zwecker's Sun-Times column is completely erroneous. Here's what Zwecker wrote:
Since then I've learned the two actresses [Leah Remini, Kirstie Alley] have chatted and there is no loss of friendship.

Hey folks,
I have an '08 RFX that has seen steady use its whole life, along with good maintenance. The O rings on the main pivot (attached to the rocker arm) have started to stretch a bit, and I don't think they're providing a great seal anymore.
If I take it apart to replace the O rings, any reason to not replace the bushings and zerk fittings while I'm in there? None of the pivots have any play or performance issues.

Has anyone had more get out of jail free cards with hardcore fans than Vitor? Besides BJ Penn.
Has anyone had more get out of jail free cards with hardcore fans than Vitor? Besides BJ Penn.
What I don;t get and granted I'm not expert but why are the levels going above the normal range. If your testosterone is low then sure it needs to be brought back up to normal levels. One would think that proper treatment would be to bring the levels back up to normal and keep them in that range not spike really high one day and really low a few days later.
Someone just needs to go Wiggum on Belfort, and we'll get our answers...

Nm... never works.
The guy tested more hotly than Vitor, lied under oath to an official AC inquiry, got to use TRT regardless; plagiarizes half of his unfunny PR, and there are still fans who are into his bullshit because he's willing to take unearned title shots at a moments notice.
Meanwhile, Vitor has a certified doctor testify under oath that he treated him for an injury thinking he wouldn't be fighting, and fans are convinced he's been a juicer for years. He's willing to fight at anyone at any weight, but sonnen gets more credit for being a gamer. Vitor mentions his faith--after turning to that faith with the horrific loss of his sister--but rehashes of Superstar Billy Graham are more palatable to the average new jack.
Vitor deserves scrutiny, but he's certainly not alone in that.
Just saw vitor was more than double the legal limit. Can't post a link from my phone. Sorry.
Haven't we seen reem and chael above 5x the limit or am I high?

I don't know what it is about necklaces, but I make more
beaded necklaces than any other type of beaded jewelry. So that's why I'm excited to reintroduce this

She and IShe was everything you wanted, she was everything I wanted to be.
She had everything you needed, so you never looked to me.
She gave you everything, so you never took from me.
She's beautiful, you know that, we all know the same, I don't know why I bother with this game.
She loves you more than anything, and I hope she always will.
She always care for you,she'll keep you strong when times are tough, I could never be enough.
She's the one for you, a match made in heaven they say, she makes you happy, I guess I never could.
She's everything you wanted, she's everything I wanted to be.
I'm sorry but why can't it be me?
Just so...You pick me up and put me on the highest pedestal you can find,
Just to knock me down.
You put me in the shop window for everyone to see,
Just so they can mock me.
You tell me the world is my oyster, and I am the pearl,
Just to trap me inside.
You lift my heart and tell me its a gem,
Just to break it like glass.
You give me the good news first,
Just so you can hit me with the bad.
You give me dreams and hopes,
Just so you can crush them like a bug.
You do this all,
Just to make your self feel better.
Rain dropsThe rain was beating down, and they both made a mad dash into his house, when inside they tumbled on to the sofa. After catching their breath they both stared into each others eyes.
There was rain drops caught in his jet black hair, which began trickling down his face. "There's something on you're face" she said as she began wiping the rain drops of his face, he gently caught her hand.
"There's something on you're lips" he said with the softest of tones, and a sly smirk creeped across his face, which she didn't notice. "what is it??" she asked concerned, she tried to wipe her face but he still held her hand.
He leaned closer to her and whispered "mine" then he kissed her.
Longing LoveI'm listening to the sad love songs on the radio, and my heart whispering your name.
Trying hard to block you out, I stare out the window and watch the rain.
But oh! How I wish you were here, you could take away the pain.
Your soft lips would touch mine; your warm skin would surround mine.
And I'd be happy.
Snap out of the dream world, I have to command myself.
Thinking about you all this time could not be good for my health.
I've been so close and yet so far.
Those moments we shared, I know they were brief, but yet they replay as I try to sleep.
And I find myself smiling, no control do I have.
You've stole my heart, and weirdly I'm actually glad.
Lost feelingsIt's crazy the way I felt for you,
Crazy how I truly believed that I loved you right down to the core.
But now I see you, and something's not right, I've lost all feeling.
Thoughts of you don't seem to keep me up all night.
I told my self you have to be the one, all the moments we shared how ever small, they used to keep me dreaming that you were the prince I would meet at the fairytale ball.
But now know those feelings of wonder and love, have seemed to disappear to the heavens above.
And I feel remorse for those feelings I had, the ones that made my skin tingle and hair stand on end.
And those missed heart beats when you said my name, I truly fear that they shall not come again.
What's wrong with me? I thought I'd always feel that way.
But now I'm numb my life feels only grey.
HollowWalking lonely on the path of life, the dark shadow always at my side.
See the light, but as I walk it gets further away.
You are golden, but I'm scared to touch you incase you break like glass.
Why do I feel alone in a room full of strangers, why do I feel like the only one to walk this earth?
Inside my heart feels heavy, but my body feels hollow, one breeze and I might break.
I feel lost, I feel alone but yet I know you are there.
Please always be there.
FallenMoonlight kisses, is what my heart wishes,
To feel your touch on my skin.
Heartbeat quickens, warm air thickens,
Romance in summer air.
With your hand in mine, we lost track of time,
But really who cares?
Your arms round my waist, we're face to face,
I've never felt this way before.
Our lips touch, fireworks erupt,
Colours cloud my vision.
I've never had such a rush, just when we touch,
I'd never thought I would fall..
Fall hopelessly in love.
With you.
What if?If life as we know it ended today, would you fall to your knees and begin to pray?
Or try and make amends for sins of before, and hope it will lead you to heavens door.
Or would you act like you don't want to know, and hope it's all just a show?
Would you hold your love ones tight, or do something crazy on the last night?
But if it's going to end today, do you even have time to say,
Sorry for all your wrongs, or just tell them what you thought all along.
Even the ones who believed it was true, will be shocked that it actually came through.
So in the end there's not much to say, it's the end of the world.
Have a nice day.
We are one...We are many, We are Legion... But we are still, only one.
Was the reply to the begging, to stop all the horrors that had begun.
Atheists say you pray to nothing, or that your God does not hear.
Your God does hear, which is what theists both hope, and fear.
Be it a God among angels, or a God among devils, or a God among men.
They are still only one God, even with the strength of ten men.
They would not be able to stop these horrors, keep them at bay.
Because every God falls trying, and most die where they lay.
One man alone, One God alone, Or Legion, alone.
They would still be helpless, for they are on their own.
I know this, yet I stand tall, a hero for you all.
I am on my own, yet I am proud, and I stand tall.
I am a hero, and I will spread my wings far and wide.
I will look after you all, I will help you, and be your guide.
Everyone fails, when they are on their own.
But I am the one who will do
At Any MomentAt any moment, we could get lucky;
Win the lotto, get a promotion, go on a date,
Go to a party, eat with our friends,
Be happy...
At any moment, misfortune could come;
It starts raining, train comes late, food is under-cooked,,
You are robbed, have a fight,
She leaves you...
At any moment, a loved one could die;
Heart attack, car accident, building collapse,
Lung cancer, murdered on the streets,
It leaves you empty...
At any moment, your life could be cut mercilessly short,
And yet, after everything else,
You don't care...
Continuing StoriesA word is worth a thousand thoughts
Once bound together to be caught
Inspiring minds forever now
With revolutions begin how
Because of books and pretty tales
Still to be reality's bail
The human mind cannot be stilled
Unless the thought for now be chilled
And yet we must owe all our thanks
To words that make our figure's rank
For literature keeps no theme
As it forever holds our dreams
So be for now our thrilling words
But stay free as those mocking birds
And as those stories do go on
It always beings thereupon...
HeartbeatingI can see the inside of your heart
where life becomes scary and breathing
is vitally tedious, day and day is crushing
the emptiness of it all
how you can be filled
up with emptiness
and so many people will touch you, all in one day,
until you can't breathe from the claustrophobia
the assault on your heart
I can see
Beat, beat,
the truth in your chest
telling you
keep going; they keep
going, like lengths of rope
or a walk down the traintracks
they keep going,
like the fall from the bridge;
there is never an end
to going on, and on,
and I will be there,
to see inside you,
hold you in the darkness, when you cry and
think I'm already asleep.
I will
beat with your heart,
breathe with you, our vitality
mixing as
Just Give InWhy do you keep haunting me in the middle
of the night,
stretching your cat-like
muscles with your smirking, shimmering,
red-kissed smile, silver in the half-light,
giving me memories and things people say I should get over just
don't stop coming
when does the getting over start and living move forward?
Where is the time when you
will let me go,
release me,
like you tried to convince me you were,
but for real, this time.
I told you I was done.
Don't you listen?
To my secret crushHe broke my heart, teaching me the
way this world works. Telling me that
in life, no one is trustworthy and you
can never escape being ridiculed by
the faces of discretion. He told me I
was hideous, and had the intelligence
of a block; he made me lose control
of myself, leaving me in a state of
never-ending solitary depression.
Yet he showed me life. He always told
me to stay true to myself, strong. He
always told me to ignore what idiotic
people would say about me. He always
told me to never give up. With tears
tumbling, my lips would still show the
slightest curve.
Funny how hate turns to undying love.
A burning sensation constantly stings
my heart, filling it with uncertainty. It
twists and turns, testing my patience.
My thoughts constantly wander to this
boy who taught me how to stand on my
own, challenging the world.
A boy who I ended up loving.
Wishful ThinkingI want to see you in my world
And living in my space.
Breathing in my air,
And filling up this place.
Removing all my childhood books
From their dusty shelf.
Puckered lips. Rush of air.
Dust flits by me everywhere.
The crunch and flick of every page.
Let's run away. Forget my age.
I know what I want
And I know that it's you.
So steal me away
To a place we can screw.
You'll pull me close
And kiss me with haste.
Your intrusive tongue.
The heavenly taste!
So I'll pack a bag, commandeer a car
And you can drive me anywhere.
Just you and I, no one else,
All alone.
But by myself.
I WANT to see you in my world
And living in my space
But these are haunted day dreams
That will never take their place.
I'm still waiting here. Untouched.
Anticipating you.
Call me now. Save me please.
You know I really want you to.
One more nightStay with me one more night
Let me enjoy your beautiful sight
Before I have to embark
Unto my journey into the dark
Let me take you in my arms
Before the world harms
Coming between the two of us
They don't understand our fuzz
We lay in my parents loft
Between your hair oh so soft
Our little cage for two
Encircling me and you
Stay with me one more night
Let me enjoy your beautiful sight
My eyes start to ache
Without you I awake
A Locked Secret
Your like a safe
Just with a pretty face
Your secrets Kept within
And you will not tell them
Though I wonder
Whats eating your slumber
What are you trying to hide
What is so valuable inside
Why keep it under lock and key
Please let your secret be free
And share it with me
Just To Be PerfectFat.
Over weight.
All mean the same damn thing.

Never enough.
Never strong enough.
Never pretty enough.

Just Another Lonely Night
Broken down
I'm torn apart
Your games been played
You've won again
Brutality at its finest
A black hole in place
Of what had me whole
Searing pain of death, alive
Tearing another hole
Your bullet hits home
RestrictedThere are one hundred and one restrictions I must abide to.
I can't break any one's trust.
I can't hurt anyone.
I can't let anyone down.
I can't shout at the world what I want to say,
because I am trusted,
because I don't want to break any one's heart.
I must abide to this restriction.
I can't always barf up rainbows like I want to.
I have to protect my image.
(Why do I have a curse on me that says all my neighbors must be EXTREMLY religious?)
I must abide to this restriction.
I can't embrace my inner insanity.
I must conform to the rules of society.
I don't want people to be afraid of me.
I must abide by this restriction.
I could go on some more.
But then you would be here forever.
So I bid you farewell,
my friend.
Try not to be restricted.
Your love for me,
Encompassed my heart,
Persuaded me to believe you
And fall for your dirty little tricks.
My trust for you,
Was something you didn't deserve.
I believed all your empty promises
And hallow words without a second thought.
Sweet bliss
Of knowing you were mine,
Knowing you thought I was the one for you,
Or so I so ignorantly believed
As you told me day after day.
Your lies,
So twisted yet so convincing,
Each fabrication poisoning my heart,
Without me noticing.
My heart,
A gift to you,
So delicate and fragile,
Yet you threw it to the ground
And laughed as it shattered before your feet.
The person I thought I loved,
The guy I trusted my heart and soult to,
The boyfriend I never doubted...
Did you realize how you broke me beyond repair?
I Am A GhostI am a ghost
When I am in a crowd
No one notices me as if I didn't exist at all
When I roam the hallways
I am invisible to everyone else around me
When I speak no one hears me
When I try to touch your soft skin you don't feel me
I am a ghost walking amongst the living
You can't always get what you want.
Is it wrong to want someone all to yourself for just one day....
Just one night...
Under the moonlight on a secluded beach.
Or a day spent in Paris or Nice?
Maybe I'm wrong to be wanting something I can't have,
but I'm still dreaming of a life we could of had.
I've seen my dreams shattered when she's around,
My heart ripped in two, and I'm left feeling like a clown.
And I'm left thinking to myself is there nothing I can do,
to let you know how much I love you?

Negotiating a Raise
- Hot Free Money Deals: Barclaycard $440+
I've always thought those across-the-board raises are a little like socialism. No matter how hard you work, everyone gets the same raise. No matter how hard you don't work, everyone gets the same raise. Pretty soon it stifles productivity because everyone subscribes to being lazy – after all, there is no incentive to go above and beyond.
Yeah for raises! I just received my annual review today and got a 6% raise. Woohoo!
Those "across the board" raises are exactly what my company uses. It is a real dis-incentive to go above and beyond. I'm just hoping that long term, my MBA will get me a department head position.
I've suggested changes to the system, but the old boy network doesn't like change.
Congrats to your husband for his ability to tackle a difficult situation. I'll have to re-think my approaches for the future!
I'm not always in favor of across the board raises as well, but they are very common with the government, state positions, military, etc. In some cases, they are necessary. On others, they breed complacency…
I agree that the best way to ask for a raise is to be prepared, reasonable, and have actually earned it. In those situations you have a great chance at success, and if it doesn't work out (for various business reasons) you can hopefully use that experience to propel you to your next opportunity.
Good for him. Just getting an extra 1% a year can lead to making $10k's more per year by the end of a career.
My husband's job is a state job and so it's unlikely he'll get a raise although his boss says he will try to get him and his coworker, who are the two most productive employees in the group, raises. We'll see if that happens.
The Barclaycard offer is for 40,000 miles, which you can redeem for a $400...

We have redefined the Boxster in terms of its performance, and defined how the roadster of the future should look. In doing so, we have once again succeeded in creating an icon of independence. Just like its legendary predecessors, including the 550 Spyder, it is a Porsche that continues to epitomise the feeling of genuine freedom.
The vertical contour of the headlights has been taken from Porsche race cars of the 1960s and 1970s – and brought into the future. Large, imposing air intakes lend the front a powerful appearance. The side contour promises one thing: thrilling performance.
The long wheelbase, the low, raked windscreen and the extremely sleek roofline when the roof is closed are integral to forming the stretched, wedge shaped silhouette. Large wheels, up to 20 inches in size and a wide track add to the style. The distinctive wings give further emphasis. And, in combination with the side air intakes, also highlight the mid-engine layout – reminiscent of the 718 RS 60 Spyder.
The dynamic contouring of the doors improves airflow to the side air intakes. At the top, it leads into a precise longitudinal edge and, at the bottom, it is underlined by the sculpted door sill.
Precise lines, which run elegantly across the wings to the rear are something special, even for a Porsche. Another feature of the rear is the rear wing, which deploys automatically at 120 km/h to reduce lift. When retracted, it makes a seamless transition to the LED taillights. For striking effect, the reversing light and rear fog light are arranged in the middle underneath the rear wing.
Underneath, the stainless-steel tailpipe (dual-tube on the Boxster S and Boxster GTS) adds the finishing touch to the powerfully designed rear end.
In summary, the Boxster draws inspiration from a long history. Yet it also reflects a completely new interpretation of the roadster concept – with a clear focus on looking forward. Every muscle is defined and ready. Just waiting for the driver to get going.

SS 300 motor problem
I have a 300 size slowstick with an ICS 300 amp speed control. Today when I was practicing flying, I found that the motor is hardly producing thrust at full. It will produce normal amounts up to a point, but not enough to takeoff. If I increase the throttle beyond this point, the motor seems to break loose from the prop - it continues to accelerate as i push the throttle, but the prop stops producing much thrust. It stops sounding the same. The motor sounds like everything is meshing properly, but once it breaks loose, it sounds like the motor is just racing but not turning anything. I have discovered that the drive shaft wiggles slightly. I can pull it out a tiny bit. I believe the i need a ne motor. Is this correct? If so, please reccomend one that I can use without changing my ESC. Thanks for any help.

Sounds like a loose pinion gear on motor shaft?? Motor is most likely OK!

So what should I try doing to fix the pinion?

Also make sure the prop is on the right way. The side with the writing goes toward the front.

secure the pinion with Loctite anaerobic "glue" like the green stuff in this pic
(best solution)
or some thin CA glue
|Apr 26, 2005, 08:30 AM
I think the spur gear is more likely to slip than the pinion. The splines on the shaft are small and can slip after a prop strike. To check, hold the black gear still and attempt to rotate the prop. If the shaft turns but the gear doesn't, it's the spur. If nothing turns, it's the pinion.
Ca makes a good repair on the spur if needed. First line the gears up (the spur can slide on the shaft) then remove the shaft and front bearing. Mark the spur location on the mount side and slide it toward the threads. Coat the splines and push it back on, then wipe the excess off the shaft. A drop added to the front may help too, no need to wipe it.
Be sure the glue is set before putting the front bearing back on.
Also make sure one nut is inside the prop. Nut/prop/washer/nut works, or nut/washer/prop with nut inserted.

I tried the ca glue fix, but it breaks often and I have to redo it. Should I just get a new spur? I am contemplating getting a new motor anyway, so I could just get the motor/gearbox combo, then reinforce it with CA before I fly. Would locktite work better than ca glue?
|Apr 26, 2005, 10:30 PM
yeah usually the spur gears (big black gear) strips before anything else...if if no crashes occur, have no sodt start enable really shortens the lifespan on those things...i'd replace that..but if you want to be sure what u can do is cut yourself a peice of nylon tubing to fit between the spur gear and the 1st nut that screws onto the shaft...put ur ptop and everything on, and then see if the gear is catching and NOT slipping...it its workign like you think it should, then its the spur gear, all you have to do it go to your LHS and get one and replace that..now, did all that make sense?
|Apr 27, 2005, 10:00 AM
I've never tried locktite on the spur since the Ca holds for me even with brushless motors. It may be your spur has been reamed by the shaft too much for this too work. Replacement gears are cheap enough, but I Ca them when new or they strip quickly.

The lead designer of Company of Heroes 2 spills the beans on why THQ axed Relic's free-to-play RTS.
As much as we're pumped about the impending release of Company of Heroes 2, there's still a voice in the back of our heads that occasionally perks up and enquires, "Whatever happened to Company of Heroes Online?"
Relic Entertainment's big free-to-play RTS experiment went into open beta in September 2010 to great fanfare from both journalists and gamers alike, but in March 2011 THQ elected to close the service with only a terse statement to players thanking them for their "continued support and feedback."
So what exactly happened? We recently caught up with Company of Heroes 2′s lead designer Jason Lee to ask exactly that.
"I worked on Company of Heroes Online and that pretty much came from something that I wanted at that time along with our other multiplayer designer, because we both came from a professional Starcraft background and we wanted to see if we could take this series there. We went to [multiple] WCGs (World Cyber Games) and we talked to professionals to see if they would be interested in playing [the series], but the general feedback was that gameplay was too unpredictable," he told us.
We asked what it was like to work on the Company of Heroes Online team when word came from THQ that they were cancelling the game, and Lee told us it "sucked" and explained that "there's still people on the team that wish we could do something more with it."
"Company of Heroes Online was doing pretty well actually, but it was just the timing. At that time THQ wasn't ready for a free-to-play model. They didn't know how to calculate revenue outcomes because they were only used to selling boxed products."
Now Relic Entertainment is owned wholesale by SEGA, a publisher who is very much experienced in the free-to-play market with fully fledged MMORPGs like Phantasy Star Online 2 and browser games like Godsrule: War of Mortals in their stable, it doesn't seem outside the realm of possibility that Company of Heroes Online may return in the future, albeit in a different form.
That said, in many ways Company of Heroes 2 online's infastructure and multiplayer gameplay is heavily influenced by its now defunct online-only predecessor. Gamers only need to look towards the implementation of the new Commander system, detailed post-match interface and the fully fledged replay system for proof of that.
We recently put Relic's highly anticipated RTS sequel through its paces and you can read our thoughts on that experience in the latest issue of FirstLook, embedded below:

Tips on Preventing Your Home from Being Burglarized
POSTED: Thursday, May 19, 2011 - 8:41am
UPDATED: Tuesday, July 9, 2013 - 7:11am
Home burglaries, it's one of the most reported crimes in the City of Brownsville. Na'Tassia Finley has more on how you can reduce the risk of becoming a victim of a home burglary in this special report.
Every six hours and 48 minutes a home is broken into in the City of Brownsville as reported in the statistics from the Brownsville Police Department's 2010 crime report. In fact, home burglaries rank number two for the crime most reported to police. While the city saw a slight decline in that number from 2009 to 2010 and officers are hoping to keep that number dropping in 2011.
Crime prevention officers say there are simple and relatively cost friendly fixes that will keep your home off the radar of home burglaries. One of the easiest way to protect your home is placing a window lock onto your window and giving a burglar less time to get into the home. A second tip would be keeping any plants near your windows 6 to 8 inches below the window seal so that the burglar cannot be seen behind the plants. Also, wooden or solid door with a strike plate are great in preventing a burglar from breaking the door in. Lastly, we have some tips on the fencing around your home. Many homeowners like the privacy of a tall wood fence and so do burglars so it is suggested that homeowners purchase a chain link fence which makes it easier to see a burglar breaking into the home.
Comments News Comments
The number of home burglaries traditionally spike in the summer months. Light timers and Fake TV are excellent solutions to deter burglars. Also, playing anti-theft home occupancy sounds MP3 or a CD (sells on Amazon) in home while away is a great way to trick burglar that someone is in.
I recommend home owners to get and post "No Trespass" signs. ( For law enforcement purposes) ; have a berrier ( a fence); have an early alarm system ( a loud barking dog). If so, post a "Beware of dog" sign. (For legal purposes) and post on all four corners. If you can get an alarm system that you can monitor on your smart phone if you have one. Or, just place an alarm sign some where visible. Cameras are good. Get burglar bars on windows and doors. And know your neighbors. It helps.
I've worked as a Burglary detective for 6 years here in the valley, not brownsville. I know one thing that works most of the time is a simple alarm system. I've interrogated so many suspects they all say the same thing. If they see an alarm sign in the front yard, they'll just hit the house next door. I'm not saying is 100 % proof. But it will deter the mayority of the burglars and at best will minimize the loss if you do get hit. Also, they could've mention a timer inside the house. I've told my victims so install a light timer on the living room and kitchen lights. The timer should turn on and off at random time and makes it seems that someone is inside the house. I can talk about this all day.....
