Simple and scrumptious. I didn't have brown sugar so I used 2 Tbsp of amber grade maple syrup. I also didn't have whole milk so I used half & half. I peeled the potatoes and parsnips then cut them into chunks, tossed them with coconut oil and roasted them at 375 for 30 minutes, stirring them every 10 minutes. Could probably cut out any sweetener entirely next time. This is a delicious keeper!
This is easy and delicious. I'm going to try this as a soup with chicken broth and a little cream - maybe even adding an apple.
I cooked this recipe for my 2-year old. I only used 1 tablespoon of brown sugar and about a tablespoon and a half of butter. The puree was still delicious.
Exceptional! Excellent way to change up sweet potatoes- the Parsips make it so good sweet yet savory! My mom couldn't stop eating it!
AWESOME fall recipe! I even got the kids to eat it in the spirit of Halloween. Try momskitchenrecipes.com for a lot more vegetarian recipes that aren't too hard to make.
I cooked the parsnips and yams ahead of time and had them in the fridge. So when it came time to put everything in the cuisinart, I combined everything cold(I heated the butter in the microwave). I tasted it cold, and it tastes great cold! yum! So I served it cold!
I made this on Christmas. Those who liked it, loved it, including my 9 year old nephew. The more finicky wouldn't even try it. We had lots of leftovers from the big meal so I re-heated it with left over steamed cauliflower. The flavors blended well and I liked the crunch added in. I will try making it with all three veggies next time.

Fresh City Life explores the role of male drag and crossdressing in films. Much like classic cabaret drag queens, these films represent one thing on the surface and, for those willing to look for it, reveal so much more through subtext and innuendo. Underneath the makeup and the theatrical dressing and the sharp-tongued rejoinders, there is humanity and understanding and compassion. But there are also laughs. There must always be laughs.
Tootsie (1982)
Some Like It Hot (1959)
Dr. Vincent Piturro leads a film viewing and discussion of the 2011 Oscar winner for documentary short. SAVING FACE is a harshly realistic view of some incredibly strong and impressive women. Every year in Pakistan, many women are victimized by brutal acid attacks, with numerous cases going unreported. Plastic surgeon Dr. Mohammad Jawad left his prominent London practice to return to his home country and help the victims of such attacks.
Ages 16+ This film contains sensitive material and graphic images, which may not be appropriate for all viewers.

Directed by Ernest Lubitsch. Starring Greta Garbo, Melvyn Douglas. Why is Ninotchka so special in the pantheon of golden age films? Greta Garbo, the serious Swedish sphinx had never laughed on film and rarely smiled either.

Not rated. http://denverlibrary.org/fresh

Directed by Michael Cimono. Starring Robert De Niro, Christopher Walken, Meryl Streep, Rutanya Alda. "The Deer Hunter is said to be about many subjects: About male bonding, about mindless patriotism, about the dehumanizing effects of war, about Nixon's "silent majority." It is about any of those things that you choose, if you choose, but more than anything else, it is a heartbreakingly effective fictional machine that evokes the agony of the Vietnam time." Roger Ebert,rogerebert.com 182 minutes. Rated R. http://denverlibrary.org/fresh

Direct selling though it is present in India for the long time has still to see a big rise. There are many companies present in India who do business through direct selling. However direct selling is not a big success so far. One of the big reasons behind its failure is non availability of any big name to trust. Many companies which are in direct selling business do not have good track record. Seven years back Amway enters India with lot of promises and few products. It tried to catch the untapped direct selling business. However up to last year they are not much successful except their nutrilite brand.
The success of nutrilite may be due to the aggressive advertisement, its good quality or better international equity. The other products of Amway have to still make a penetration in to India. Initial unsuccessful of Amway may be due to the reason; they are not able to understand the Indian market well. The other reason of their unsuccessful was entry of lot of other Indian players, whose aim was to only earn some money. Many players imitated the Amway's market strategy. This all spoiled the Amway plans to gain ground in India. Amway only gave dream of becoming millionaire to Indians and not focused on their products.
When other schemes failed people also started doubting Amway. Due to this lot of people lost money and their frustration increased against the Amway. If they have focused more on their brands then they may have some other story. Last year with aggressive advertisement, they are able to establish their brand nutrilite. However all this is not up to mark from company like Amway. The reason for their failure is being not able to understand the Indian environment fully. Now they have changed their few of strategies and therefore an increase in their acceptance can be seen.

After years of dreaming and reading, I'm ready to build my firts hydro system. I will presently use it in cojunction with my "dirt/container garden." I want to start with tomatoes, cucumbers and squash.
I looked at the plans for the 11 pot garden at http://www.hydroponicsonline.com/11plantJPG.htm. It seems simple enough. The question in my mind has to do with size. Can I grow tomatoes that close together and get a healthy crop? How about managing cuke vines or the enormous spreads of yellow squash? Also, can I get by starting out with my hydro garden being outdoors - maybe located near my container garden? I would like to experiment with a summer crop then build a greenhouse this winter for a permanent location. answers would be very helpful to this hydro newbie. art |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hello Art, I know the system you refer to. I built one similar to it as my first system. I now know how to make it more durable, (which was important to me). But it did grow my plants. I ran onto 2 problems. The roots will want to grow down into the tubing, clogging it. The 11 plant design you refer to has removable baskets for that reason, so you can take them out and trim the roots. I just didn't glue the bottle connector to the pvc tubing, so I could take it off to trim the roots. I used 2 liter bottles, and cut the bottoms off, flipped them over and inserted them as a screen to hold the growing medium in the upside down bottles. Though now I would use 4 inch ASD irrigation tubing (cut to 10-12 inches), and an end cap with a pvc connector on the bottom as a replacement for the 2 liter bottles. The ASD tubing is light prof and very durable, it's also the same with as the 2 litter bottles I used. However I wouldn't grow tomatoes in a system like that. You can easily space them the way you want by simply making the tubing longer between the "T" connectors (bottles). But the root systems will quickly outgrow the small bottles, and clog the tubing before they even ripen one tomato. Personal I wouldn't want less than 5 gallons of root space for tomatoes (unless maybe they are dwarf/small bush varieties). For tall vine like plants, it's always simple to build a trellis for them to grow on, but you'll still want to consider how big the root system will get. As well as making maintenance of the system easy. I grow everything outside myself, and a lot of people do. You just need to deal with the weather, and probably more pests than growing inside. But growing outside is what I prefer to do. |
This is awesome info for a gal who is trying to figure this out. I am really wanting to try this at some point but not 100% there yet. This was very helpful info though so thanks for sharing! |

Earlier this week I had the pleasure of visiting Wellington College in Berkshire, the mixed independent school where polymath Dr Anthony Seldon (who also writes acclaimed political biographies and directs plays among much else) is in charge. His staff describe him as a "creative power house" and he's certainly transformed the arts in general and the drama in particular in the school since his appointment in 2006.
Anyway, more of all this on the training page in The Stage very soon. Meanwhile I want to tell you about one Wellington College initiative here because the deadline is fast approaching and if you're a young dancer (or the parent of one, perhaps) needing help with training you need to know about this immediately.
Wellington College is running a community dance competition this June. The top prize is a £5,000 bursary for a talented young dancer aged 18 or under. "The drama department wants to make a commitment to help this performer further his or her career — and we want to maintain an ongoing relationship with the eventual winner by supporting them in any way we can," Sarah Spencer, Head of Drama, tells me.
Interestingly, the money for this bursary has been raised by the drama department through its Community Drama Programme. Among other projects Spencer and her colleagues run Curtain Call, dance and drama classes for local children and teenagers aged 6 and over, on Saturday mornings. The nominal charge for this is £70 per term (with informal subsidy arrangements for those who struggle to pay) but the school provides all the facilities and resources without taking any of the income. For the last four years money thus generated has been used to fund an annual four-day residential summer school for young people from Kids Company.
This year some of the money raised is also being used to fund the dance bursary.
Spencer is keen to stress any dancer aged 18 or under - "Yes, anybody from anywhere" she says, telling me that she has phoned every school for miles - can apply to audition for the dance competition. Auditions are being held in the Wellington Theatre at Wellington College on 26 February. Contact Sarah Spencer firstname.lastname@example.com for more details.

A reminder to buckle-up and take it slow in this nasty winter weather comes in the form of a two-vehicle crash in Niles Township. Michigan State Police say a wreck happened Wednesday morning along Niles-Buchanan Road near US-31. The head-on crash sent four individuals, including an eight and eleven year old to the hospital with minor injuries. Alcohol was not a factor, just low visibility from blowing snow.

Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Ph.D., presented the Rajiv Gandhi Rastryia Ekta Samman award to NYIT student Shail Choksi for his service in helping the people of India. Specifically, Choksi, an IT consultant for the Indian government in Gujarat, was recognized for a website he designed to market handicraft products such as wall hangings, purses, and tablecloths. Because handicraft sales are a main source of income for many Indian artisans, the M.B.A. student was hired by the government to coordinate the sales of the products and then developed a robust e-commerce website to market and sell the handicrafts. The award was presented at the All India National Unity Conference on Aug. 20.
"National awards are a symbol of pride for the nation, and receiving recognition for my work will continue to motivate me in my educational, professional, and personal endeavors," said Choksi, who is also president of the Indian Graduate Students Association at NYIT.

Documentary series focuses on prosthetic face surgery
Complex wounds, Infection, Wellbeing and concordance
A new documentary TV series, featuring the Maxillofacial Prosthetic Department at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, UK, focuses on facial prosthetics and their role in bettering the lives of patients suffering facial injuries, illness or birth defects.
Making faces follows a team of surgeons and prosthesis experts in the UK, highlighting treatment for some of the most traumatic facial injuries in the country. The documentary follows the team for five months, and features patients with burn wounds, cancerous tumours and violent assault. They help renew older prosthetics and build innovative realistic ones.
The department is the only one to work on facial reconstruction and prostheses with military patients and emergency cases in the UK.

Reviewed Chicken and Date Pastilla
May 27, 2013 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"I saw this on TV and looked it up online. I love this recipe! I was looking for another way to use leftover chicken and I found it! I didn't have any dates, so I used dried apricots and raisins. My husband doesn't like olives, so I served capers on the side for me. I served it with pilaf, yogurt and frozen peas. Sometimes, I find I can't tolerate ""

"In Christ There Is No East Nor West,"
The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal, no. 587
Superintendent or Sabbath School teacher
Program"What Can I Give Thee?"
"Joy to the World,"
The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal, no. 125
Closing Prayer
Participants: A narrator and two adult or teen reporters plus a junior-aged child to represent the children's project. If you prefer, two reporters can present alternating reports. [Note: participants do not need to memorize their parts, but they should be familiar enough with the material that they do not have to read everything from the script. Practice so that participants can feel comfortable adding inflection where appropriate.]
Props: A large map of North America. (Scan the map on the back page of the quarterly or download the map from www.AdventistMission.org and project it onto a screen. Or draw a map on a large piece of paper.)
Narrator: Welcome to this special Thirteenth Sabbath report. This quarter we've heard stories of men, women, and youth in North America who have shared God's love and made a difference in other people's lives. Today it's our turn to make a difference by giving a generous Thirteenth Sabbath Offering.
The Adventist Church in North America has chosen two special groups of people who need to hear the message that Jesus loves them. _____ [name of reporter 1] will share the challenge of reaching refugees in North America for Christ.
Reporter 1: North America is a land of immigrants. Almost everyone living there can trace his or her ancestry to another country, another culture.
Every year tens of thousands of immigrants make North America their new home. Many of these are refugees who have fled war, political oppression, famine, or other disasters in their homeland. But arriving in a new country is often the easy part. These people must learn a new language, new ways of doing things.
While the government offers limited assistance to help them get settled and begin learning English, refugees need so much more. They need help learning survival skills such as how to shop at a grocery store, open a bank account, enroll their children in school, and so many more everyday tasks. Most refugees seek out others from their own culture to help them cope with life in a new land.
These pocket communities of refugees and immigrants are open to learning new ideas. Some have never heard the name of Jesus. But there aren't enough trained pastors or Bible workers to meet their needs.
The good news is that many of these refugee communities are located near an existing Adventist church. But often the local congregation has no idea how to effectively reach them. If the members knew how to reach out to their new neighbors, they would find people willing to respond. But there are few funds to provide this type of training.
So many people in North America need to hear God's end-time message. Let's help equip our members to share that message. Let's provide pastors and Bible workers to teach the people and plant churches among them. Part of today's Thirteenth Sabbath Offering will help reach the millions who now call North America their home.
Narrator: What a great opportunity! What a huge challenge! God calls us to reach those living among us who need to hear His message. It's our duty to reach them, love them, and lead them to Jesus.
Native Americans also need to hear God's message of love. They have lived in North America for several thousand years, longer than anyone else. They roamed the plains, lived along rivers, or near the sea. For centuries they hunted and fished and gathered their food from the land; they lived in homes made of adobe [mud], animal skins, or wood.
But when European settlers moved inland from the coast of North America, they pushed the Native people off their land. It's no wonder that the Native Americans resisted the Europeans' God. To this day work among the Native Americans is difficult and slow. But there is hope. _________ [name of reporter 2] will share with us what we can do to help reach this people group for Christ.
Reporter 2: In the southwestern United States Allen and Kelley Fowler have dedicated their lives to reaching the Navajo people. Allen is a Navajo; he knows his people and is working to break down barriers by meeting the people's needs in the community. The couple shares a vision to plant a church in Page, Arizona, a town on the edge of the Navajo nation. They have met so many honest-hearted people who want to know more about God that they can't handle all the requests for Bible studies. They need more workers to help them study with the people and bring them to Jesus. Many of these people have never read the Bible, never been to church.
So far 12 people have been baptized, including three youth. And many more will come. But the little congregation needs a church, and land in the area is expensive. Part of our Thirteenth Sabbath Offering today will help establish this congregation of believers among the Navajo people. From there the work can grow in other parts of the Navajo nation.
Time is running out, and God's children need to be warned. Your offering today will help tell them that Jesus is coming again and He wants to take them home with Him.
Narrator: Our children have brought their Thirteenth Sabbath Offering today for a special project. _____ [name of reporter 3] will tell us about it.
Reporter 3: Native American children need to know that Jesus loves them, and many have no way to hear about Jesus. So some children at Holbrook Indian School are teaching them. These students are trained to share God's love through Vacation Bible School-style programs that they hold on Native reserves across North America during summer vacations.
It costs money to provide the supplies and transportation these students need to carry on their ministry. So our children have brought their Thirteenth Sabbath Offering today so that the Native American children can learn to love Jesus, too. They invite you to join them in spreading the good news of God's love to Native American children.
Narrator: At this time of year many people think of giving gifts to family and friends to show their love. How much more should we give a thank offering to Jesus, who showed us His love by stepping down from His glory in heaven and living among us, teaching us, and dying to save us?
Our mission offerings are our thank-you gifts to God each week. Today's Thirteenth Sabbath Offering will help introduce our wonderful Jesus to people who may never have heard His name before.

Wow what a beautiful garden you have! I love them all, but perrenials blue sure is pretty. You must be so proud to walk thru your garden! |
All I can say is WOW,WOW,and WOW! |
Breathtaking! ! Thank you for sharing. |

Is Geschwinds Schonste always that grand? Every blossom seems perfect. Jasmina looks good, but I know it can't take the wrong weather (hot and wet). |
- Posted by the_dark_lady z7 Amelia VA (My Page) on Mon, May 14, 12 at 12:56
Thanks, everybody! Mantis, I never had any problem with Jasmina balling or not opening properly, and we are here hot and wet always. I've grown this rose for a number of years as a free standing bush without much success, but last year I replanted it in a new location and trained all the canes horizontally. It exceeded my expectations! Godzillions of blooms and, finally, I could smell it! I mean really smell it. From a distance. I am not good at describing perfumes, but this one is even more difficult to describe. Very, very pleasant. Yes, Geschwinds Shoenste is always this abundant, and blooms are all perfect in shape. Taking into consideration the conditions this rose is growing (no water, no spray, no fertilizer), I think it is a real winner for a once-bloomer. Marina |
Jasmina and Purply Skyliner are my favorites in this array of beauty. Your garden must be rather mature since you have all these gigantic roses. I can't believe how many blooms each of your roses have, and how healthy the bushes look. Just wonderful! Ingrid |

Thank you, guys! Ingrid, my garden is rather young. We moved to this house five years ago and I started this garden from scratch. Our lot used to be a hay field, so we didn't have any vegetation here but grass (and weeds!). |

Very nice! Thanks for the eye candy. |
Can`t wait for more!!! Outstanding!!!! Lesley |
ooooh, that is so OUTSTANDING! What an incredible and super gorgeous garden, Marina. I love the impressive showing of the Geschwinds Shoenste and the "OGR" look of the blooms throughout the garden! Yes, those once-bloomers really know how to put on the show! |

Marina, it's nice to see all of your bushes loaded with blooms. Great job! Mark |

You've got the magical touch! Each is more beautiful and breathtaking than the last. I love the foliage on Perennial Blue. Thanks for showing us what a great rose bush should look like. I have never seen any of these, except Pomponella, even in photos. What a treat. |
WOw! I want them all! That Jasmina and Baltimore Belle are my two favorites...they're always make my short list, but I've never ordered them. Your picture of Ritausma is telling me that mine might need to be moved before it gets too big :) I really do love the shots of the full plant; we don't get to see them enough. Tammy |
- Posted by the_dark_lady z7 Amelia VA (My Page) on Tue, May 15, 12 at 22:28
Tammy, yes, give Ritausma some room. Mine (grown from a cutting 5 years ago) is about 6' high, but at least 9' wide. I believe, you can control it's size by pruning, but I never did. It looks like I might try pruning it 'hard' (taking at least 1/3 of its growth) this year. It ate quite a few roses nearby, and I really want it to be a smaller bush. Marina |
Wow, those really give you a sense of the splendor of these roses! |

The renovation will include all new bathrooms, kitchens, appliances, flooring and total interiors.

Renovation of the five historic "Old Conch" styled buildings will be done in phases, starting in July and completed by the end of October. [member]
Robb & Stucky Senior Designer Nancy Woodhouse, IDS, is currently selecting a tropical design embracing an easy living lifestyle for the new furniture packages for the 32 one- and two-bedroom units, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
According to George Galvan, General Manager of Coconut Beach Resort, under the management of Spotswood Companies, "Our Board of Directors selected Robb & Stucky due to their sterling reputation and their track record of exceptional renovations to other resorts.

The owners are eagerly looking forward to the total completion of this project."
Commented Dan Lubner, President of the Resort Division of Robb & Stucky Interiors, "We thoroughly enjoyed working side-by-side with the resort staff to fulfill their desired visions and provide them with premium interiors well within their design budget."

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Gray Kitties!
Facts about Gray Kitties
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Gray Or Blue
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Gray Kitties's Info...
I am up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Spooks has 4 all gray siblings. There are 3 males and 1 female. All of them are loving playful lap cats. They get along with big and small cats as well as dogs. All of the kittens had their first shot and have been tested. If interested contact Nadine @917 930 2389 or email@example.com An adoption donation is required. The kittens will be spayed/neutered.
Other Pets at Long Island Cat/Kitten Solution, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Gray Kitties, a Island Park Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Island Park, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Island Park.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Island Park already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Island Park breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Island Park paves the way for another one to be saved.

POSTED: Thursday, June 21, 2012 - 3:00pm
UPDATED: Thursday, June 21, 2012 - 3:04pm
HARVEY, LA (NBC33) — A former employee of the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office is locked up today. That's because he admitted to sexually abusing juveniles and taking pictures of them.
John Cerniglia, 59, was arrested for multiple counts of Aggravated Rape, Sexual Battery, and Pornography Involving Juveniles.
The investigation began after the mother of one of the victims reported that her 12-year-old daughter had been exploited. The mother says her daughter admitted to her that Cerniglia had been taking nude photographs of her since she was 5 years old, but stopped when she turned 9.
The girl was questioned and she also admitted that she had had intercourse with Cerniglia two weeks ago. She added that Cerniglia threatened to "blow his brains out" if she told anyone about the pictures.
Cerniglia is considered a close family friend.
The girl has a younger sister who is 5-years-old. She claims that Cerniglia touched her in appropriately as well.
Investigators conducted a search of Cerniglia's home on Wednesday, June 20. When they arrived he said he knew why his home was being searched. He also admitted to engaging in similar activities with three other girls.
Cerniglia worked at the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office as an assistance supervisor in the National Crime Information Center until 2005.

Who does the lucky mole belong to?
And how did you get to lick Ortan's chest? Lucky you
I'm wondering the same thing How did you get to lick Randy Orton?
LOL.. the mole belongs to Batista.
As for the infamous taste o' Orton... at a WWE House Show a few months ago here in AZ, Randy had won his match and went straight for the front row I was sitting at (with my boyfriend lol). He stepped on the rail and I hugged him in celebration and got a high five. He was leaning into the crowd for everyone, and I was one of the few people who was 'supporting' his weight to lean into the crowd. At that moment, ALOT of people rushed up to the front to shake his hand, touch him, take pictures or anything else they could do within range.. well, some girls were molesting his chest & trying for some ass grabs, then the crowd started to push a bit and I was being pressed against the guard rail with Randy directly in front of me.. so... I gave myself an extra fake gentle shove and put my mouth and tounge on his right side of chest near his nipple.. lol.. then I backed off a bit, noticed he didn't care and or realize, so then I rubbed his chest just like the bitches were. He didn't say or do a damn thing. It was fuckin' wonderful!
Oh yeah, the Orton ass shot I took gives you an idea of where in the front row I was sitting.. the best fuckin' seat in the house as you can plainly see!
Nice photos...
I was addicted to pro-wrestling as a child then for whatever reason i stopped watching........what a stupid ignorant fool i was!!!!! With all these hot skimply attired wresters just waiting to be ogled. I must start watching again!!!!
I love Rene Dupree and Kurt Angle. They both have such big bubble butts. Any pics of them with their trunks down?
I am a Friend of Dorothy (Zbornak)
Personally I'd love to see more Randy Orton. I just can't get enough of him. He is so very very fine.
The hot guys keep me watching....Originally Posted by stevie402
I know he's just a commentator but Josh Matthews from the first "Tough Enough" on MTV. Nice.
I wish I could find some pics of GoldBerg when his chest was hairy! What a man!! Is he a gay Bear?
Does anyone remember Shawn Michaels during the early DX period? You, know before he got all religous and became a prude. Well I remember when he and HHH and Chyna were having a game of strip poker and Chyna was winning everytime and Shawn stripped down to his underwear which was some very sexy boxer briefs. Well then DX got into a fight with the Headbangers or someone and Shawn ended up dancing around and playing with his bulge in a very vulgar (and Oh God sexy) way. God, I think I think that was my first clue that I was gay because I was so turned on. Anyone got pics or a video clip of this?

John Cena and Randy Orton are definately my top 2 picks. I know it's prolly wishful thinkin on my part but for awhile i've seriously had to question whether Cena was gay or atleast bi...For one(and it's not necessarily a "giveaway") but I've seen him in a FEW matches where he ended up poppin wood during the match. Actually that's what got me back into wresting after not watching for years...i'd been flippin channels and peeped him on,stopped to check him out and noticed the obvious tent in his shorts. Also he's done a couple skits with the Divas and somethin just seemed so awkward about the way he interacted with them...but like i said, might just be wishful thinking. Either way his body is fuckin INSAAAAAAAAANE!!!
That pic of Matt Hardy above is just fucking hottness! I don't think I ever thought he was hot until I saw that. Thanks cplmilt!

I am almost finished with my IPE deck, but I have a question. I am using a two piece cap rail; a 2x4 on edge with a 5/4 x 6 inch top cap. The deck has several non 90 degree angles. On the straight sections, I did a 45 degree bevel on the butt joints with the top cap over the posts, but I am not sure how to handle the 120 degree angles. I would prefer not to use a non beveled butt joint, but it is not exactly clear to me how to finish off the 120 degree intersection if I use a 45 degree bevel for this butt joint.
Any help from the experts would be appreciated. Thanks. |

Wouldn't you just cut the joints at 60 degrees? Or am I not understanding your question? |
I am sorry that I was not clear, The question that I had was rather than doing a simple angle cut butt joint, I would prefer to do that same angle cut with a bevel so that you would have a beveled lap joint, so that the butt joint gap would not be visible. However, because of the bevel, the front and back edge mating surfaces do not form a nice intersection, and I am not sure of the best way to form these. |

New "main" Mod In Bobcats Forum
Posted 02 May 2012 - 10:16 PM
The Panthers have never relocated to a different city. Making that comparison and suggesting racism due to the fact fans didn't demand re-branding is a little farfetched.
Posted 02 May 2012 - 10:37 PM
Posted 02 May 2012 - 11:01 PM
If the roles were reversed and the Panthers had left Charlotte many years ago, and we went through the 2008-2010 seasons, while getting rid of popular players, ala Gerald Wallace, then I would fully expect re-branding to come up. The main reason rebranding has taken off is due to the Hornets name being available. It seems the support for rebranding dies if the Hornets name isn't involved, and I would expect that to translate to the our NFL team if this situation happened and the Panthers name became available.
The reason why fans want to rebrand back to the Hornets is because we were the Charlotte Hornets before the Charlotte Bobcats. Obviously if the Bobcats racked up the wins then this discussion would be null.

First off, @d4rk, to give you some background... I've been a Bobcats fan since day one. I grew up a Hornets fan, but when they left, they were dead to me. We got the Bobcats, I support the Bobcats. I was excited to be recognized as the first pro sports organization with a minority owner. But then BoJo went to work and made some horrible decisions and really soured me with anything to do with what he contributed in his time as owner. To me, he equaled George Shinn, who I still hate, and it's simply because of their attitude and ineptitude as owners. It has nothing to do with race - you can bet that, and I'll address that more shortly.
So, supposedly, the "rebrand to Hornets" movement actually started a few years back according to John Morgan (the organizer behind it), but I was unaware of it. I believe he said they started in 2010. Then I came across their petition this year and thought it was interesting but far-fetched. You can even look up my original posts about the petition both here and at Bobcatsplanet and see how hesitant I was. I initially thought the movement was somewhat irrational and, for lack of a better phrase, childishly naive in approach... But, then things started falling into place.
I was initially of the feeling that, "it's not going to happen so I'm not putting my full support behind something that is so unproductive and probably futile." But, the more dominoes that started to fall, the more I started to come around to the idea that it was very likely to happen. In my mind, if I can get the team name and brand back that I grew up rooting for on our current franchise and feel as though the front office of our franchise was striving to make that connection with the community, then I'm all for it. And of course, I can't lie, I still hold some bitter feelings towards Bob Johnson, just as I do towards George Shinn. Again, strictly based on their snootiness and ego-maniacal decisions they made as owners.
But, if the rebrand were to happen, then it gives us a fresh start. George Shinn is no longer associated with the Hornets, so it doesn't hurt us to take it back. At the same time, it kind of wipes our slate clean from BoJo's failures, and it is now Charlotte's team. Not George's, not Bob's... It's Charlotte's team. It doesn't erase the past of either, but it signifies the movement towards rectifying the mistakes that both made. That's a win-win.
Additionally, once they put the polls out and things started falling into place for a rebrand to happen... Well, what do you know... Voters on the poll showed that they overwhelmingly support a Hornets rebrand. If I recall, it was 80-some percent were in favor of the Hornets, while only 3% were in favor of remaining the Bobcats. Even worse, more people favored the Cougars even over the Bobcats.
F*ck New Orleans. And the same to George Shinn and to Bob Johnson. This is about my hometeam, and we have the opportunity to start fresh. Let's do it.
As to the disaster that has happened on the Bobcats forum here...
I have sided with KT too many times to count over the years. I considered him a friend, well, at least as much as you can with "internet friends." I also always got along with PSC for the most part. But, once the rebrand stuff happened, their apparent inability to see the world in shades of grey caused them to go apesh*t crazy on me, as well as others. They refuse to see it as anything other than black and white, when it is very much grey, and to guys who talk about progressiveness, that just doesn't seem to jive very well.
I've been a Bobcats fan since day one... I still have an effing Emeka Okafor jersey hanging in my closet, lol (embarrassing). I've posted in that forum since forever and did the same at Bobcatsplanet. This is about my hometeam whom I will always support even if I don't agree with all of the choices made by the front offices. I am obligated to pull for these teams, because they represent me and vice versa. I'm from NC, and will always rep NC, and so do these teams.
So, when this rebrand issue came up, and I have KT insulting me for not being from Charlotte, and saying I have no right to pull for the team or have any say because of that... Well, that's insulting. Then when he and PSC, decided that wasn't enough of an insult, then it became anyone who wanted a rebrand wasn't a fan. To someone who has suffered as a fan over the miserable seasons we've had, botched moves, and one playoff appearance in which we were embarrassingly swept... That is super insulting. Then to put the cherry on top, I'm told because I want a rebrand, I'm a racist.
The same guy who fought on the same side of arguments and went to bat for KT numerous times over the years when it came to Cam, Mike Vick, Barry Bonds, etc., whatever the case may have been... Now I'm racist.
You don't see the hilarity of it all? You don't see how insulting that is?
Now here's where I spill the beans.
This is why my posting in the Bobcats Forum has greatly decreased.
I'll let you guys in on a little secret...
I grew up in a low-income area in Fayetteville. I went to my first few years of elementary school with the same kids from Murchison Rd. in Fayetteville, which has earned the legendary moniker of "The Murk" in the Ville. That's where I came from. I was the minority in this school. As a first grader, I had my head repeatedly slammed into a bus seat for asking why someone was stealing my pencils from my trapper keeper... The kids that did it were in the 5th grade and probably about two times my size, or more (I was the smallest kid in my class until 9th grade when I hit a growth spurt and averaged out).
And even in those times, another kid would come and sit with me when I felt all alone on the bus... We'd draw pictures of the Simpsons and just talk about stuff. He treated me like an equal. Like a friend. Guess what the common factor was between him and the kids who tried to cave my head in? They were black.
So, my parents moved right outside of Fayetteville when I was 9 or 10, but I still played all of my rec ball in Fayetteville. When I got older, I still worked all of my jobs in Fayetteville as a teen, and I only hung out in Fayetteville. It's my home. But, around where my parents moved, I was again an outcast. And to be honest, it wasn't much different from the city... We had stuff stolen the first two weeks we were out there. My mom was jumped by another woman while waiting at the bus stop for my little sister because she testified in court against her sons for stealing from someone else like they had us. Amazingly, the woman didn't get any charges against her, but we lived everyday under stress and fear. They threatened that they were going to kill us.
By the way, they were white (and more accurately, white trash).
To make things worse, my dad worked a middle-class job at a factory, but because of his own selfishness and mismanagement with money, I dressed like I was poor. When I went to school, I wasn't really given many options as to who to hang out with, you know, because of the whole clique thing. Luckily, I was a class-clown and had enough of a personality to make friends throughout all of the little gangs people had... But, for whatever reason, I seemed to be most accepted by my black peers.
And throughout my life, I've only had three or four people that I would consider "best friends." Two were white, two were black. Most of my friends at school were black as my white friends didn't want to be closely associated with me while we were at school, so they'd distance themselves.
I went through rough patches, almost got in a fight with a coach, etc. I ended up dropping out. I met my wife a few months later while working. We progressed quickly... She was the exact opposite of me... Although I was in academically gifted programs, I hated school for some of the reasons I listed above. She was class president, 4.0+ gpa, college-bound, etc. She encouraged me to go back to school and finish. I did.
She went through college and I worked dead-end jobs to help get us through where I could. I decided to go to college. I went back, worked off and on, we had three children over the duration of both of our schooling, and I played basketball at my JUCO before settling on transferring into UNC (I wanted to go to a DII my friend had a connection with, but my family was already settled here and I had been accepted). I graduated in December.
Now, want to know the kicker? My wife isn't white. My children aren't white. My wife is black and my children are biracial.
Take all of that into account and then tell me all of these generalizations that KT has stupidly thrown out there in his racist net apply. Additionally, go back and look at some of his comments in those threads directed at me only. I'd argue that they were some of the most insulting things that I have ever endured on the internet considering where I'm coming from... And that's not even mentioning the whole "you're spoiled... you feel a sense of entitlement due to your spoiled background and white privilege... blah blah blah..." insults.
So there you have it. That's why this issue has been so flame worthy. That's why civil discussion isn't happening. That's why threads are being derailed and race is brought up.
You can keep defending KT if you want, that's your personal preference, but to me, his attitude and insults have become indefensible when it comes to these recent posts. And coming from a family of mixed backgrounds as well as my own personal experiences, I find his words hurtful, insulting, and intolerable.
Now go ahead and hit me with a "tl;dr" but I think if everyone actually read what I just typed, the Huddle would be better for it. People need to sit back and process things before they idiotically smack off.

You know what you're saying is a crock of sh*t, but you have to maintain the same trolling angle you adopted since rebranding came up.
And here you come with the "black versus white" crap again. I just gave a novel's worth of reasons why that doesn't factor into my reasoning one bit. I have more of a reason to be neutral or side with minorities than 95% of the posters on this board. If I don't like a person or what they have done, it's because of who they are as a human being or what they have done with their actions. When you recklessly throw out "racist" and "bigot" at people, you are hurting the very people you claim to be representing.
I've been discriminated against all my life in some form or fashion, and never once did it deter me from doing what I needed to do. I didn't have any privilege or benefit over anyone else. I came from damn near rock bottom and earned everything I have. I still experience discrimination to this day for various reasons, but often times because I'm white and my wife is black.
This is why I can't take you seriously. I just laid all that out there on this forum for the first time in my entire existence on this site and your very next post is still accusing me of being racist and having racial motivations for my reasoning.
I shouldn't have expected more from a guy who pie'd PSC for saying MJ was an uncle tom.
If anyone is intending harm towards the black community, it's you with your own words. You want to talk all this big sh*t, but what are you doing? You glorify Bob Johnson, the very man who sold out black culture through BET with the airing of such fine, upstanding, and respectable programming as BET UNCut. But, MJ is an uncle tom because he isn't rocking a kufi.
And don't try to turn sh*t around on me, "friend." You insulted me numerous times before I asked to have you removed. It had nothing to do with Hornets or Bobcats... You made it personal, so I obliged. You wanted it to be personal? Good. It is. You're a shitty, hate-filled mod... I just didn't get to see it until you projected the brunt of that hate towards me. So thanks for that.
You talk loyalty, but look where you are. Throwing people under the bus that argued and fought adamantly against a good amount of the posters here on so many subjects. I prefer one brand over another for our franchise and now the gloves are off and loyalties be damned, at least that's what you decided.
You insulted me, my wife, my kids, where I'm from, and who I am. I don't take lightly to that. So unless you're going to make amends, then save the bullsh*t for your nurse whenever you finally get locked up in an insane asylum... Because if you truly believe even a third of the sh*t you say, you aren't far from being there.
Unlike you, race isn't a factor in my mind or thinking, unless it is brought to my attention by some hate-filled individual such as yourself. If this is who you really are, you are a disgrace to humans everywhere. You are so quick to paint everything in black and white because that's how you see the world, well have at it. I live in reality and not in a box.
"Friends" went out the window when you insulted me. I always showed you respect as an individual until you did that. So, you can go ahead and take ownership of that, or you can just continue to blame others and project your own feelings onto others and play the victim, like you apparently do with everything else.
This is the internet. No one is afraid of you. No one is out to get you. No one is out to dethrone a black male from his high perch among the Bobcats Forum at Carolinahuddle.com. In fact, if you haven't already realized, I don't care that you're black. That means nothing to me... In case you didn't read, my children are half-black, for demographic purposes. But, I don't like them to identify as any race, but rather as human beings who are proud of both sides of their heritage. Race is nothing but a description, an identifier... It's not an excuse or a "reason." At least not for people who are free of racial bias. Marinate on that.

Your response to have me banned or stripped because you felt entitled let me know everything I need to know about you. Thats not the stance or attitude of someone I would wanna be cool wit. Like the other dorks you hate differences. Ive never asked for you to be banned, and I wouldnt go over your head to put you in your place. What other mods have you gone this far with? Or begged Zod to ban? None

Hate, hate, hate.
That's all you got.
I know essays are a little too much for you, but I figured if I used more words that it might make a dent in that impenetrable titanium mass you have in place of a brain.
I ain't ever asked for you to be cool with me. I just expected you to be civil and respectful just as I had been to you. Oops, forgot, I suggested we rebrand so that apparently was the same as insulting your mother, despite the fact that I'm still a fan of the team and will continue to be... But, who cares. I don't fit KT's requirements for being a fan. Maybe one day the 325 of you Bobcat Johnson fans will see the world in all of the colors it presents itself in to the rest of us.
You have no argument, all you have is biases and racism, and you stick to it.
You clearly did not read anything I wrote (it was probably over your paragraph max.), or you just lack the ability to comprehend it.
You are the only one using phrases like "put you/him in your/their place." I clearly don't suffer from the same little man complex you do. And you're right, you didn't go over me... Because you were a poorly chosen mod, you directly insulted me and others and then locked a thread. That's why I asked the other mods to address it, because there was no due process, so to speak. There was no majority rule or even input requested from one other person besides yourself. You did that all on your own accord. And then I asked for there to be a second mod placed in the Bobcats forum... Tell Zod or Kurb to send you my PM's if it means that much to you. I didn't ask for you to be removed, I asked for another mod to be able to balance things out or at least provide perspective or some fairness because you were too emotional to practice either yourself.
So, sorry, your victim role doesn't apply here. Try again.
Oh yeah, that's right... No one is victimizing you! You are a scary (on the internet), opinionated (on the internet), loud (on the internet) and brash (on the internet) black man! Everyone can see you are black through their computer monitors! They're all out to get you! They know your black before you ever stroke a key on your keyboard!
I have a lifelong track record to support my realness, fairness, and objectivity in REAL LIFE. What I don't have is a little man complex that I use my ill-advised appointment as a Bobcats Forum mod to relieve myself of.
You keep being a Bob's Johnson fan, and I'll keep being a Bobcats fan.
Now if excuse me, I have to go catch up on the latest podcast from Tavis Smiley and Cornel West... After I put on my "opinionated black man" filtering Dre Beats headphones.
