If today's golfers were to travel back in time to the founding of Tippecanoe Country Club in 1920, they likely wouldn't recognize it. For one, it had just nine holes; it wouldn't be expanded until renowned golf-course designer Pete Dye came along 41 years later. Something even bigger was missing, too: Lake Shafer. The course predates the erection of the dam up the Tippecanoe River that created the lake, which today forms the course's western border. As present-day club wielders make their rounds, they traverse a triangular parcel of land that juts out into the manmade lake, requiring them to conquer nerves on water-bordering fairways or else send their golf balls to sleep with manmade fish.
Course at a Glance:
Ever since Buffalo Bill and the Ringling Brothers roamed the streets during their winter off-season, Peru, Indiana has been filled with the circus spirit. More than a century later, it's still putting on a dynamic show. Located in downtown Peru, the Circus City Festival Museum tells the story of this local cultural tradition, from the city's first performances to the present day. Its halls are filled with collections of vintage photographs and educational displays alongside circus miniatures, costume pieces, and props. These artifacts tell the story of the show's evolution and that one time the roman rings performer totally stole the trapeze artist's boyfriend. Meanwhile, the Peru Circus' own colorful wagons are on display outside the museum throughout the day, and before and after each performance. While these exhibits preserve the circus' past, an on-site gift shop guards its future; proceeds go to support the Circus City Festival and Peru Amateur Youth Circus program.

This weeks Nuwaupic Video!!!
Hatap Yasar,
Welcome to Nuwaupic.com. This site is brought to you by the Nuwaupic Team. You are more than welcome to browse the site and learn the ancient language of the sovereign people of the Untied Nation of Nuwaupia. Our language can be traced back to ancient Napata, also called Kush or Cush, the first city mentioned in your Bible in Genesis chap 2.
It even goes further back to the Nadjaru (Neteru, Overseers), the beings from the stars responsible for the great civilization known as Egipt (Egypt). We Nuwaupians acknowledge these beings as our Salafu (ancestors) and link back to them with the sacred tones of Nuwaupic. This ancient language was resurrected by our President of the United Nation of Nuwaupia , the Master Teacher, and Spiritual Guide, none other than H.E. Dr. Malachi K. Z. York 33o/720o, also known as Paa Munzal Nazdar Amun Nabab Rayay Aakhakh Ptah, an incarnated deity.
Our Master Teacher Paa Nabab: Yaanuwn, Paa Sadaq Kawun Karar Nuun, has blessed us with Nuwaupuyee our own, Ancient and Most Sacred Language. That will break the spell of ignorance upon us. These tones will help set him free. When we speak, we vibrate, when we speak Nuwaupuyee we vibrate on the right frequencies, this links us to our Ancestors who can help us in our daily lives. As well as Paa Nadjar-u who aid us in the freedom of our Master Teacher thru chanting. With this communication we have the ability to make all things possible.
Note: Everything vibrates, liquids, solids, gas, matter, material. Matter moves. Let's make matter move by speaking in our right frequencies and correct tones and free our beloved Paa Munzal Nadjar: Amun Nabab Rayay AkhAkh Ptah Djedtwy, Huu Kawun Karar Nuun.
With that said, The Nuwaupuyee Team will have classes, activities, studies, worksheets, games and much more for the family to enjoy!!! As a reminder Classes are Wednesdays 6:30-8:00 pm and Saturday 3:00-6:00 pm at Paa Parar Marar 9 in Georgia, 3110 E. Ponce De Leon, Scottdale, Ga. Love and Unity is the key and speaking in our proper tones will open the gate way to our Master Teacher's Freedom!!!
See you all there!
Paa Munzal Nazdar Amun Nabab Rayay Aakhakh Ptah
We are glad you stopped by. Go ahead and join the Nuwaupic Team and learn the sacred language of Nuwaupic with us. Connect with other Nuwaupians around the world and share these sacred tones with them. Hope to hear from you soon.
Wadau' (Farewell)
The Nuwaupic Team
Special Note:
The reason why Nuwaupic words seem to change is so that you will eventually remove English as your mental reference. If you get used to a word and it changes, you will revert back to the last word you knew instead of the English version. For example: What is the word for "That"? Ans. Pafaf. What was the word for "that" before Pafaf? It was Deek. So you will think of deek instead of the English version "that". It a process of breeding English out of our heads word by word. So be patient and learn the language as it comes.

How To Double Your Business By Cloning Your Top Clients - The Secret Strategy Of Getting Referrals Part I
Are you ready for the secret? There are two parts to it. First you have to ask. Second you have to ask often. Here is a list of great referral marketing ideas:
Referral research method
Getting Married philosophy
Non- verbal referral communication
Up front referral business
Competition target method
Clone your best clients method
Centers of influence referrals
The first idea is to do research on selected referral targets. Show your client or center of influence the ideal client profile that you are looking for or targeting. Let them know that you are constantly trying to improve your business to help people achieve their financial goals.
While clients are happy with the services they receive, you would like to interview potential prospects to conduct research on what our marketing, communication and advice that you help people with and the perceived value. Ask them for names of people in your unique profile purely to do market research.
You want to let them know that it will greatly help identify and target your ideal prospect. Then call these referrals and you will be amazed at the amount of information you can gather about your target market.
How they network, the clubs or associations they belong to the type of advisors they work with and how they network. Along the way the people who you conduct research on may provide referrals to you directly. The next referral strategy is the getting married philosophy. Think for a moment if you were to marry someone new, who would you want to meet that is associated with that person to find out more about them. First you may meet their parents ( a movie was made about this ), you might want to meet their friends, colleagues at work and possibly their neighbors.
We'll ask your client, ' Now that you have become a client of ours, have you talked with anyone in your family, at work or your friends about us'. Chances are if they just moved a large investment account to you, they at least tell their best friends.
In their center of people close to them they have the ability to send friends and family your way as referrals. Talking about it up front may make it easier to refer these people to you. You can ask if any of these people, family, friends, colleagues at work should need your help that you are more than happy to accommodate their needs. While they might not fit your ideal profile, usually birds of a feather flock together and their friends will be similar to their profile. Get married to your clients. At least help the people around them. Non verbal messages such as:
Message on your desk or biz card
Letters to clients
Surveys to clients
Have a worksheet or handout
Newsletters: At the bottom of my newsletters ,I write, 'I would like to thank my clients for thinking of me to help family and friends by referring their name to me. Referrals are always welcome and greatly appreciated'. Another idea on your newsletter is have a draw for a dinner gift certificate for clients that referred you business and announce the winners in your newsletter. Message on your desk or business card - On my desk, my business card holder reads, 'The best compliment you can give is a referral'. Letters to clients: Why not select a few clients to start with and send them a letter asking for referrals. Then follow up with a phone call, not to ask for referrals directly, but indirectly to see if they received the letter and possibly to have a coffee and share an investment idea with them. Then you can ask for referrals once you see how they feel about referrals. See a sample letter in my book at financialadvisormarketing.com . Surveys to clients: Positive or negative, everyone needs feedback. Surveys are a great way to ask for referrals if they are happy with you. I would only survey clients you are comfortable asking referrals from. Seminars and seminar invitations:- You can see the strategy on seminars, but you don't want to miss these ideas. First, in your invitations, always state that your clients are free to bring a friend or family member to your seminar. Second, on the bottom of all seminar feedback forms, I always put, please add these people to your next seminar invitation. I have received valuable referrals from this form information. Up front business referral: When I first heard this ideal being presented by a top performing financial advisor from Vancouver, I loved the idea. It is something that you cannot decide to do when it seems right, but in every new client interview it should become part of your initial interview or talk. What I am referring to is establishing the terms of how you do business.
You would state to a new client that part of doing business with you is to generate referrals for you so you can spend more time on managing clients goals and less time marketing to new people. Up front you tell them the profile of people you work with and that they help you identify prospects for you and let you know of these people.
If they agree, then you have a solid basis to ask for referrals on a regular basis and both of you are comfortable with this type of business practice. Remember it must be done up front each time a new client decides to do business with you. Competition target method:- This method of referrals can be fun, especially if your target market is a certain segment of business owners. For example, lets say you do group benefits for engineering firms. After you deal with one firm, ask them about their competition. They will usually know their good competitors in town and may even know them well through trade associations.
Once you start asking about them, ask if you can contact them using their name for their business. If they don't like their competitor, sometimes they will be reluctant to use their name as a referral source, but the respect of competition usually makes it an interesting conversation. You can usually find a lot of information about a target group by asking for referrals to that group. The clients are usually more than willing to talk about their competition, positive or even sometimes negative. Verbal ways: Clone your best clients. One of my best clients came as a result of asking a client to invite a friend to one of my meetings. As a result I asked my client about the referral and they tried to get their friends to come and see me for quite some time, although I didn't know that. When I asked for a referral, they mentioned this persons name and that they tried to get them to come and talk to me. It was only when I asked for referrals that I found out that the client was trying to help me, but it wasn't working.
Have a referral talk as part of your vocabulary. This is the most uncomfortable talk advisors have is asking for more business after the client gives you business already. However, once you do it 30 times for 30 days, it becomes a habit. It will be the best habit you pick up and you will go farther and faster than you ever thought possible by using that talk every day, over and over.
Have a worksheet or handout for clients. To remind you of the referral talk use a cheat sheet to help you make it a habit. You will need paper anyways writing down names , so you might as well make a sheet out of it - See a sample letter in my book. Centers of influence referrals: As discussed in strategy # 13 in my book, Build a dynamic referral team. Grant's Tip: Create a point system and make it a game. If you need 8 referrals per month, think of the sources that you will generate them and how. When you know that you will generate one or two referrals a day to add to your database, it's exciting to know that you sometimes don't have enough time to keep up with the referrals you generate by habit on a daily basis.
One center of influence I have worked with knows that during the course of the year he knows how many referrals are usually generated and from who he works with so at the start of each year, he has an estimate of the amount of business he will automatically generate through his referral networks. See strategy # 24 in my book, Guerrilla marketing For Financial Advisors', Creating a referral system.

Don't worry about natural or windblown snow if nothing is bent or breaking.
In most cases, snow is nothing to fear in the garden – it's a great insulator, and it melts to provide much needed water to dry plants in the winter. However, heavy snow and ice buildup can cause devastating damage in the garden if limbs and trunks bend or break. Here's what you need to know about dealing with snow and ice in the yard and garden.
The bent limbs on these Leyland cypress may recover in spring.
Should You Remove Snow and Ice?
- Natural Snow Cover: Even if it's deep, a blanket or windblown drift of snow is nothing to worry about – in fact, it acts as an extra layer of insulating mulch!
- Manmade Snow Cover: Most snow damage is caused by humans using snowplows, shovels, and snowblowers. Pushed or mechanically blown snow is dense and slow to melt, and it can break a strong shrub right in two. Be careful not to pile snow on your plants by mechanical means as it will then need to be removed and might do damage you can't prevent.
- Bent Branches: Tender branches (particularly conifers) may become broken or weighed down with heavy snow and can a hard time springing back into shape. The fallen snow can also melt and refreeze to form devastating ice.
- Snow from Roofs: Remove snow from roofs (if you can safely), and remove the piles of snow that may cascade down onto your shrubs from the roof above. If your shrubs are right in the danger zone under a steep roof, you may want to protect them with a temporary wooden frame.
Snowplows can damage plants.
Sweep gently upwards to dislodge snow from shrubs and other plants.
How to Remove Snow from Shrubs and Plants
- Sweep Gently: Using a broom or your hands, GENTLY sweep in an upward motion, loosening the snow and allowing it to fall. Don't sweep downward, as you might break an already bent branch, and don't shake the plant. The branches will be very brittle and already stressed, so disturb them as little as possible.
- Avoid Accumulation: You'll have much less damage to your plants if you remove snow after every couple of inches of accumulation, rather than waiting until it's deep.
- Leave Ice Alone: Don't try to remove ice, as the branch will likely break. Once ice has formed, you really should just wait it out.
Gardening Tip
Some ambitious gardeners attach a water hose to a warm water faucet to melt ice on prized plants. If you do this, use lukewarm water, as sudden temperature changes can shock tender branches. Also be aware that the water may refreeze on the ground, creating very slick conditions. Unless you have a collection of priceless hybrids, this method really isn't worth the trouble. If you live in an ice-prone area, you're better off choosing plants that can recover from breakage.
- Be Safe: Never try to remove snow or ice from overhead branches! There's a high risk of breakage, and you don't want heavy limbs falling on you, your house, or your car!
Don't try to remove ice from plants as it can cause more damage.
How to Prevent Damage to Plants
- Tie Up Plants: Before the snow, use plant netting to tie up the branches of your conifers and soft shrubs, to prevent them from being misshapen or broken by snow. Tie them in a cone shape, to deflect snow off to the sides.
- Move Containers: Put planters and containers under a shed or porch during snow and ice storms to keep freezing water from expanding and breaking containers.
- Keep Off Grass: Snow covered grass is fragile, easily uprooted, and susceptible to fungal diseases under the snow. Reducing foot traffic will help the snow stay light and melt faster, and it will keep your grass blades firmly rooted.
- Avoid Salt: Salt can damage lawns and plants when it runs off your driveway. If your plants have been exposed to salt, water and rinse them well as soon as temperatures are above freezing. Next time, use sand or clay-based kitty litter instead of salt.
- Prune Damaged Limbs: Head outdoors as soon as the ice melts to assess damage. Cracked branches can sometimes heal if they're firmly tied back in place. Broken branches should be pruned away immediately to prevent injury and disease. Ragged tears are very susceptible to infection, so remove damaged wood using clean cuts.
- Wait for Spring: The extent of the damage often won't be clear until spring, when you find out if your plant will be able to spring back into shape. Wait for spring to do any staking or reshaping of bent plants, since winter branches are extremely brittle. In the spring they'll be much more supple.

APL Engineered Materials APL Engineered Materials is the world's leader in ultra-pure materials for discharge lamp manufacturing. Located in Urbana, Ill., the company's technology is applied to salts and precision metal pieces for metal halide(MH) lamps, amalgams for high-pressure sodium lamps, zinc-mercury amalgams for fluorescent lamps.
Formerly Anderson Physics Laboratory, APL was created in 1944 by Dr. Scott Anderson to perform experimental research in molecular physics. In the late 1950s, the company's materials for purifying alkali MHs were proven superior to all commercially available methods and used in crystal growth, molten salt electrochemistry and color center research.
Later, APL pioneered the development of high-purity anhydrous iodides of precise sizes for the discharge industry, dramatically improving MH lamp performance and making possible the development of high-speed dosing and manufacturing equipment. In 1971, these concepts were extended to include sodium-mercury amalgam spheres for high-pressure sodium lamps and, within the last 10 years, have been applied to zinc-mercury amalgam spheres for fluorescent lamps.
The company's products hold many benefits for other ADLT companies. APL aids in improving Venture's existing MH lamp performance and makes it possible to develop new ones. APL's unique capabilities include combining two or more components into a single sphere, permitting single sphere doses of uniform composition and mass, with minimal sphere-to-sphere or lamp-to-lamp variation. The company also created barium peroxide getters for extending lamp life.
Since becoming a part of ADLT in 1983, APL has made significant contributions to the improvement of existing lighting products and the invention of new ones. The majority of metal halide and high pressure sodium lamp manufacturers throughout the world buy their chemicals from APL.

Dozens of Postal Services Authority workers on Wednesday continued their sit-in outside the Central Administration of Postal Services in Cairo to demand the resignation of Communications and Information Technology Minister Mohamed Abdel Kader Salem. They also called for an investigation into what they described as "financial violations" within the authority.
Postal workers in Beni Suef closed their offices to the public and refused to dispense pensions, leading to fights between the public and postal workers in several districts of Beni Suef City.
"We have entered into an open-ended sit-in and all our colleagues from other offices will join us until our demands are met," said protester Mahmoud Ali, saying that 1,200 employees work in the governorate's seven postal offices.
The workers are demanding increased bonuses, the dismissal of ministry advisors, increasing aannual raises to a minimum of 7 percent and awarding bonuses on based on comprehensive rather than base salaries. They also want paid leave on Saturdays, compensation for work-related injuries or illness and full-time employment for temporary workers.
Postal Services Authority Chairman Mosad Abdel Ghany said there were no disruptions in any public services at postal offices nationwide, with the exception of the main headquarters in downtown Cairo. He said the protesters disrupted work at the main office by organizing a sit-in inside the building and refusing to leave.
Abdel Ghany told Al-Masry Al-Youm said that Beni Suef postal offices were open today, adding that five offices had closed, but employees re-opened them after learning that post offices nationwide had resumed work.
He went on to say that some of the workers' demands were not within his authority, such as dismissal of the communications minister, but that he would "work on implementing any demands that can be achieved."

Maybe I have a "lemon", but it's kind of noisy (not just whirring, but kind of clunking at times); there are pockets that, while mixing, just don't get incorporated - so I have to hand mix them in before they are part of the "mixture", which to me kind of defeats the purpose of having a mechanical mixer; as suggested, I hand wash the components, which is kind of time consuming. The best thing about it is that it looks beautiful on my granite countertop when NOT in use. Aesthetically, it's a very beautiful tool.

Solid mixer
By Txskm
from Dallas, TX, United States
I received an Kitchen Aid Ultra as a wedding gift. I had been wanting a bigger bowl and more power. Unfortunately I like the tilt head so a KA professional wasn't for me. The artisan provides an additional kick. I love it with the scraper beater. Works great.
Love it! So easy to use

I received the mixer as a gift and I really like it. Very easy to use and pretty on the counter.
By nicolep
I got this as a Christmas gift for Christmas 2013 , and I have to say that I love how quick I seem to get things done and baked in the kitchen now! It helped me this year with the Christmas baking because I didn't have to stand over my mixer to tie up my hands with the hand held mixer. Works great, love the attachments that came with it. Looking into getting some more!
Awesome Product
By DinoTBS
from Winnipeg Beach, MB, Canada
I received this last year for Christmas and have used it almost daily. It has cut down the time it takes to mix my ingredients and I also use less bowls. Then everything cleans up in a snap.
Great item to own

Making pasta dough and bread dough in a snap! Love it and just wish I hadn't waited so long to have one!! Luckily I have a husband who loves sweets, so I am sure I will get a lot of use out of it! And... Of course there's always grandchildren!
Very disappointed in the quality
By LGPratt
from San Diego, CA
I bought a KitchenAid stand mixer in 1988 and it served me VERY well until 2014. Based on that great experience, I decided to invest in the Kitcehnaid Artisan Stand Mixer about a year ago. I have had to replace a part, and it still does not work well. Also, the bowl is very difficult to remove from the base. I actually have to use a mallet to make it move. Did I get a lemon or is this how they all work? Very disappointed!
Happy Girl!

I don't know why I waited until I was almost 60 years old to purchase my Kitchenaid Mixer, but sure am happy I didn't wait any longer! Love, love, love it!
Great Features - Love the Color!
By Barbara H
from Cloudcroft, NM, United States
I bought the Artisan a month ago and I am so happy that I did. I had two hand helds and finally got tired of always having to either hold the beater or turn it off to scrape the bowl. This is now my very favorite appliance and I wouldn't trade it for anything!

I know this is mainly a forum devoted to the production of one's own stories, but it may be interesting to see what gay themed books everyone has read and recommends. My twopenneth:
The Geography Club/Brent Hartinger - A young adult read (good for all ages) about kids in school who set up a gay society/group under the guise of a geography club. Entertaining and enjoyable with a message.
The Last Chance Texaco/Brent Hartinger - About kids sent to an unusual foster home, after being through the system this is their last chance before detention centre. Hugely enjoyable, exciting and pacy with great characters.
The Night Listener/Armistead Maupin - taught and tense, it will keep you guessing and you will either laugh at the end or throw the book out the window.
Almost Like Being In Love/Steve Kluger - guy seeks out childhood gay sweetheart, great romance, and funny at the same time.
The Last Days of Summer/Steve Kluger - a great story unusually told through letters, scrapbooks, news clippings and the like. A book that can make you laugh outloud and cry at the same time.
Clay's Way/Blair Mastbaum - Skater dude falls for surfer dude - sexy, funny and character driven
The Miracle Life of Edgar Mint/Brady Udall - not a gay book but (hate to say it) inspitational. The story of a kid who gets his head squashed when run over by the mailman in the first few pages and how his life gets progressively worse from there on in. You'll find you hate the author for doing horrible things to the lead, love the characters and love this unusual, sad and funny story.
Mysterious Skin/Scott Heim - child abuse, aliens, male prostitution and a mystery to be solved. Fabulous read.
Frontiers/Michael Jensen (plus follow up book 'Firelands') - A historical romance novel - no thanks, but wait, set in the 18thC American frontier, a story that has the protagonist almost starving to death, meeting and loving someone who isn't what they seem, true love, hot sex and brilliantly pacy action and adventure. Edge of the seat stuff.
Give the net a rest and go read something

In light of the tragedy at the finish line of the Boston Marathon, Eugene Police will take extra precautionary measures for the upcoming Eugene Marathon on April 27 and 28, which is fewer than two weeks away.
"This will be (the) first public domestic type event, ironically a marathon, in the nation after the bombing," said Paula Hunt, EPD information coordinator.
To prevent any possible organized attack attempts during the Eugene Marathon, police met Tuesday night to discuss enhanced security options in preparations for the marathon. Eugene Marathon coordinators went over options with local police. A bomb commander and the University of Oregon Police Department were in attendance. No decisions were made at the meeting.
"We plan for unpredictable, but we can't predict the future," said Melinda McLaughlin, EPD public information director. "That's why the planning and training is very important so we can be flexible in how we respond."
EPD is unable to release information regarding the details of the enhanced security proposals to prevent their compromise. The department will stay in contact with marathon coordinators up until the day of the event.
"We will be having ongoing meetings with the marathon coordinators," McLaughlin said.
Marathon coordinators released statements showing respect to those affected by the tragic events in Boston. They also ensured participants the marathon will take place as scheduled and they are working with city and law enforcement officials to ensure the safety of participants and spectators.
"All emergency dispatch agencies are extremely supportive, professional and prepared to help in any way," said Hunt.
EPD had held previous training in planning security for a large-scale event already with the U.S. Olympic Team Trials last summer, so there will be an extra level of preparedness after having that experience.
"The likelihood of something happening is slim, but obviously we don't want to take any chances," said Hunt.

I recently became interested in purchasing a cordless trimmer due to problems dealing with a corded electric trimmer and a gas trimmer that was powerful but over time was heavy, noisy and a headache to deal with. I saw the infomercial on the Worx GTand decided to investigate cordless trimmers. I first investigated the Black and Decker Grasshog brand but I was not impressed with it's being bulky to use as an edger and it had a less than durable plastic body. I then checked out the reviews for the Worx GT and the reviews on most surveys were split almost evenly. It
seemed that this was a product that most either loved or hated. I finally bought the 20V Worx GT and these are the areas that I really liked and some that I did not. I have also added what I would like to see. What I liked: 1) I really like the ergonomic features of the Worx GT especially the easy
2). The Worx had plenty of power to cut the toughest of my yard grass,
3) I also liked the double helix trimmer cord due to it's apparent durability
What I did not like: 1) I did not like the small head on the Worx GT. Also the cord did not
2) I did not like the battery recharge time. After using the unit I recharged
What I would like to see: 1). I would like to see a more reliable battery charger design. The battery
2). I would like to see a higher quality of battery on the unit. The battery
Summary: I love the Worx in part because having back problems it is easy to use as

Isn't it amazing that a person signs up to this forum and their first post is ANOTHER SHILL for WORX? |

my review, at least your getting 30 minutes on a charge, I get 20 minutes of use per 3 hour charge, other then that it works great |

and yes to post here the review makes sense, because I posted on the worx site about the 3hour charge per 20 minutes of use not making sense, and they did not post it at all. 30 minutes per charge is a bit better then running in at out at 20 minutes per charge. Even tho I did make my first 12 hour charge in hoping I could do my walkway and was disappointed to get only 20 minutes of use. |

jhnbaker must be a real helpful person, to go to the trouble to join this forum purely for the purpose of posting a review for all us un-informed, not-too-bright folks who have been holding our breaths to find out what he thinks of a particular string trimmer. Based on his convincing and brilliant revew, I'm going to order one dozen of these trimmers. I can't thank him enough. |

It seems that my innocent first time post about the cordless trimmer that I purchased has elicited some pretty nasty and I must say pretty arrogant remarks about whether I should have posted this topic at all. I am merely a first time buyer of this type of trimmer and was merly trying to talk about what I saw as the good and bad in a product that actually has been endorsed by many members of this forum. My experience in posting in various types of forums is not that new comers be attacked for their opinions if it des not match how others view a certain subject. I also tend to go to many different sites when researching a product to get as many views on something before I decide to purchase. So twelveguage and bill I hope that you will reconsider your remarks especially towards someone you have never met and have no idea as to what their intentions are. If you act this way on an Internet forum I would hate to see how you are when you can't hide behind a keyboard. I bet you both as seen above have winning personalities or maybe not. |
Personally,I prefer a gas engined 'anything'. I'm like Tim The Toolman, and like loud, powerful tools. The noise makes the neighbors, and the missus, know that I am busting my hump, keeping my yard up to snuff. Your post may be genuine, but I hope you stick around and report back here after your battery pack won't take a charge anymore, and you have to replace them. Then again, maybe you've got lots of bucks. On second thought, I don't think you got lots of bucks, or you would have a lawn service. Hang in there jhnbaker41. |
Yes, thanks for the review j41. Keep us updated. I remember a long thread on Worx trimmers or something a while back. Time for fresh perspectives. |

Thanks, I will stay around as I love to see the reviews of people who use garden products as I said before, I was saying what I liked and did not like about the Worx. I have a small yard so a battery powered one is a great option for me. THe Worx though is not the end all trimmer even for me as I too have alot of concerns about the battery as well as other issues. Even with this I will always have to do maintenance work on whatever trimmer I have wheteher it be replacing a battery or the oil and gas on another trimmer, so whatever. I will let you know how long the battery pack lasts and follow up good and bad. Thanks for your kind words. |

I would go with the Black and Decker. A couple of guys I work with got the Worx GT and I've heard them both on the phone with the company complaining about them. I bought the B&D 20V Lithium. It came with 2 batteries but one does my entire yard with no problem at all and I have a lot of stuff to trim around. One thing I've noticed is I don't get a sore back while using it and I don't have to stop for breaks. I think they have it weighted just right. And the line feed works great. This is my 2nd B&D cordless but this one is much better. |
I purchase the WORX GT2.0 MaxLithiumTM 3-in-1 Grass Trimmer/Edger/Mower over 2 month ago and now the auto feet does not work, I have to stop and manually feed the line out to cut this take me longer to use the Trimmer/Edge. The replace spools do not hold as much of the line as the ones that come with the Trimmer/Edger. I have been trying to talk to someone at Worx today but I have been on hold for over 2 hrs now. |
There are several folks on here who apparently feel that their manhoods are threatened if anyone has a good word for a Worx trimmer. |

Just bought one but haven't used it yet. Just picking away some time reading reviews and this will be my first and last submittal. Seems that like in local restaurants and bars the regulars seem to feel after a while that they own the place. The attack on "jhnbaker41" was just another example of why I usually only read. A new members opinion is seldom welcomed by the fire stoking, mean spirited type that write that kind of sarcastic post. You jerks serve your purpose however, very much like a gnat hovering around you plate while you're trying to have a good meal, irritating, not very smart and impossible to get rid of. Goodbye to another forum owned and run by the self proclaimed witty, sarcastic writers that defeat the purpose. |

harvnmrth : Hang around Bro ! Many goodhearted folk onboard. Just some of the Elders get a little upset when numerous Shills drop by to sell their wares. Bill and twelveguage have a wealth of knowledge within such matters however do at times as do I get a little hot under the collar when unsolicated trolls sneak in . P.S. Also the original post was over a yr ago . |
jhnbaker41: Are you still using your worx GT 20 v cordless edger/trimmer today? |
- Posted by IHateYardwork none (My Page) on Thu, May 1, 14 at 16:30
jhnbaker41, thank you for the Worx GT 2 review. I'm new here and I'm trying to find a decent trimmer/edger. I started several years ago with a Black and Decker and had lots of trouble with the line feed and had to keep stopping to fix the line. I changed to a couple mid-$100 Troy-Bilts and had the same problem. It sounds like the Worx isn't any better with line feeds?? Can anyone recommend either a gas/electric/battery trimmer that doesn't have line feed problems? I'm sick of stopping every five minutes to fix the line or pull it through. |
"Can anyone recommend either a gas/electric/battery trimmer that doesn't have line feed problems?"...I can. Go to Home Depot and get an Echo SRM-225 for $199.00. A great bargain at the price. |
I bought a Black & Decker GH900 electric string trimmer for around $50 and used it for an hour yesterday. I am pleased with it so far. It's an auto feed and worked better than any autofeed I used in the past. This trimmer is much more comfortable to use than my previous trimmer, a Craftsman electric with a double string. I would advise against a double string, too many hassles with it. I've bought B & D in the past, and wasn't always pleased, but the new one is a decent medium to light duty for a reasonable price. It is not as powerful as a gas trimmer, but those are too heavy for me and I don't like storing gas tools. I also am not a fan of cordless, due to battery cost and lack of power. |

I live in Mexico and have an "American" bakery here. A friend of my son wants me to make a "Nata" cake and I don't know what that is. I have found recipes in Spanish, but my Spanish isn't good enough. I think nata is the cream that rises off of unpasturized milk, what you would use to make butter in the "olden" days. I have access to this milk, but have no idea what to do with it after that. If someone has a recipe, I would also appreciate your telling me what consistency it should have since I have never seen or tasted this type of cake. Is it a wet cake like a tres leches? I am really out of my area of expertise on this one, lol. Help, ....., please?
Normally I don't do "Mexican" desserts. I figure they have enough excellent bakers of their goods here already. However, his friend can't find anyone close enough to make one for her for Valentine's Day, so she has asked for my help. Thanks so much.

Ramasubramanian L et al. – The results show that maternal serious psychological distress is independently associated with early childhood obesity.
Methods- A cross-sectional analysis of data from the Millennium Cohort Study was conducted.
- Subjects consisted of all natural mothers (n= 10 465) who had complete and plausible data for Kessler-6 scores, socio-demographic and anthropometric variables, and their children for whom anthropometric measurements were completed at age 3.
- Maternal serious psychological distress was defined as a score of 13 or more on the Kessler-6 scale.
- Obesity was defined as body mass index >95th centile of the 1990 reference chart for age and sex in children. The data were analysed using spss 16.
- Maternal socio-demographic factors that are known to influence maternal mental health and child obesity were identified and adjusted using multivariate logistic regression.
- Of the 10 465 mother–child dyads, 3.5% of mothers had serious psychological distress and 5.5% of children were obese at 3 years of age.
- Logistic regression analysis showed that maternal serious psychological distress was associated with early childhood obesity (P= 0.01; OR 1.62, 95% CI 1.11, 2.37).
- After adjusting for potential confounding factors using multivariate logistic regression, maternal serious psychological distress remained significantly associated with early childhood obesity (P= 0.01; OR 1.59, 95% CI 1.08, 2.34).

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Beautiful card for my sister-in-law's bridal shower. Changed the background color to navy and the rest of the colors really pop. Super cute! Everyone loved it!"
"A friend recommended your website for my sister's bridal shower invites. I loved how many styles there weeee to choose from and they turned out perfect! I realized that I forgot to add a detail on the invite just after I submitted my order and had no problems calling customer service and having the text added. The envelopes were large enough to easily fit recipe cards and directions to the location. Everything turned out perfect!! I will absolutely use this company again and again!!"
"I saw mixed reviews and hesitated before ordering. Glad I went through with it. The invite came out great, paper quality is good. The envelopes are a little bigger than the card but that's minor. The actual invite is what matters. It is just like the picture."
"Was looking for a custom look for shower invitations; but didn't have a lot of time. This process was great, the selection was wonderful."
"I was very happy with the design and colors. ( I chose the basic colors rather than changing them). I paid for express delivery, and when I received the invitations, some of the envelopes had been slightly damaged during the mailing process. I notified Wedding Paper Divas and was given a credit. Overall, I am quite satisfied and received many compliments on the invitations from the invited guests."

Visual Arts By Sheila Farr
Artist Zhi Lin puts museumgoers nose to nose with a part of civilization most of us prefer not to dwell on: the death penalty. In a group of 12-by-7-foot paintings titled "Five Capital Executions in China," Lin makes us party to shocking, almost off-hand executions played out among crowds of people who show little emotion as they cluster to watch or simply pass by on their daily routines. The paintings which show decapitation, starvation, flaying, drawing and quartering, and shooting aren't modeled on actual events. But Lin's fictional scenes do depict real methods of execution, past and present, which for him represent a long history of human cruelty not confined to any one nation. Because of the large scale of the paintings and Lin's clever compositional tricks, we end up feeling like passive onlookers to the carnage. China, of course, is historically notorious for its poor human-rights record and for administering the death penalty for crimes we might consider minor. So, as an American, it's tempting to distance oneself and think "not here." But, as a catalog of the exhibition points out, the death penalty has been abolished in 106 nations, and 80 percent of the world's recorded executions take place in China, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United States. That point is not lost on Lin, who has lived in the U.S. for more than a decade and has been a professor at the University of Washington since 2001.
In 1987, as a graduate student, he was chosen for a British scholarship that brought him to Slade School of Fine Art at the University of London. That's where he was in 1989 when the violence at Tiananmen Square broke out. Lin watched it on television and what he saw changed his thinking about the purpose of art. "The massacre made me believe that there is a role in society for art, and art can be used to prevent those kinds of events from happening in the future," Lin says. Even after that revelation, though, it took time to find the right voice for his work. For a while, he continued to paint in an abstract style, but found that nobody understood what he was trying to get across. He struggled to find a visual language in which the form and subject were in agreement. "The subject is the public and public policy, so the language had to be readable by the public," he explained.
Each of the five "Execution" paintings depicts a crowd of up to 150 figures painted in a social-realist style that veers into a disparate mix of elements we associate with post modernism. Lin alludes to Western art motifs, such as the Crucifixion and Last Supper, while including contemporary details like a boy wearing a pair of Mickey Mouse ears or a little girl clutching a Pepsi. The exhibit also includes a group of small, intricate studies in graphite or watercolor that demonstrate Lin's meticulous technique. For those willing to consider the work closely, there are layers of meaning to discover. The paintings each have references to Baroque or early Renaissance art, yet some allusions will remain obscure to Western viewers. For example, the title of the series, "Five Capital Executions," echoes for Chinese audiences with the traditional "Five punishments" (including branding, cutting off limbs, castration, drawing and quartering, and decapitation) that have existed in some form since the second century B.C. Lin acknowledges the cultural stumbling blocks, but hopes the work will speak clearly enough about the human psyche for anyone to understand. "I feel strongly about capital punishment," he says. "It's government sanction of killing, a vicious cycle that doesn't end." Sheila Farr: email@example.com

Cheating is Mandatory
Announcing the upcoming release of Blood Bowl: Team Manager - The Card Game |
Blood Bowl: Team Manager | Published 19 July 2011 |
"Say, Jim, that is impressive. You don't often see that, do you? An Orc who picks up the ball when he's done flattening the opposition."
"Sure don't, Bob. Oh, ouch! That move's definitely illegal, where is the ref looking? I guess the Grudgebearers are just living up to their name."
"Too bad that it wasn't against the opposing team. But Gouged Eye have the ball again, and are going for the end zone."
"Right you are, Jim. But Grim Ironjaw seems to be gaining on Varag Ghoulchewer."
"I'm afraid he's not going to make it. Varag's almost there...almost..."
Welcome, sports fans! Fantasy Flight Games is pleased to announce that Blood Bowl: Team Manager – The Card Game will be available in the fourth quarter of 2011!
Blood Bowl: Team Manager – The Card Game is a vicious standalone card game of violence and outright cheating. Two to four managers oversee remorseless teams and improve them by drafting Star Players, employing personnel, and upgrading their equipment. Over the course of the season, your team will compete in a series of highlights filled with the pivotal, action-packed moments your fans live for. Perform well and annihilate the competition to gain as many fans for your team as possible before the season ends, and you'll be sure to end up with Spike! Magazine's "Manager of the Year" award.
A new design direction
When Blood Bowl: Team Manager – The Card Game was announced last year, it was presented as a deck-building game. As the game progressed through development, the direction began to change. Visit our description page to learn how; we think you'll agree it's worth the wait!
Determined to win
Lead your team of misfits and miscreants to the top by guiding them through weekly head-to-head highlights, the randomly determined matchups over which players compete, over the course of a brutal five-week season. Reap the benefits of winning by drafting Star Players, acquiring equipment upgrades, and hiring new staff for your team...all leading up to the decisive Blood Bowl itself.
Surviving the competition means that your team will receive a payout, but winning makes the reward even sweeter. Payouts can gain your team fans and add new cards to your deck, such as famous and formidable Star Players.
Every highlight involves carefully positioning your players, using their skills and abilities to their fullest, and risking injury or ejection. Can your Skaven Lineman keep possession of the ball? Will the referee catch your Star Player cheating? No matter the events during the matchup, remember at the end of the season it all comes down to who has the most fans.
Even if you trounce the competition (and win a few trophies along the way) will it be enough for you to be named Spike! Magazine's Manager of the Year? Find out in Blood Bowl: Team Manager – The Card Game!
For more information on Blood Bowl: Team Manager – The Card Game, be sure to visit the description page, and come try it at Gen Con Indy 2011!
Blood Bowl: Team Manager – The Card Game is a bone-breaking, breathtaking card game of violence and outright cheating for two to four players. Customize your team by drafting Star Players, hiring staff, upgrading facilities, and cheating like mad. Lead your gang of misfits and miscreants to glory over your rivals as you strive to become Spike! Magazine's Manager of the Year!
I really, really waited for this game. Thank you FFG for finally giving us some info.
Nevertheless, i'm not entirely sure if i like the new direction - would need some more solid info on how flexible the decks will be and how big would be the replayabilty of this game.
Another thing - i know it's kind of early, but can we expect expansions for this game? Blood Bowl is such a great universe that it would suck big time to contain it in one-shot standalone box.
Now people can stop being whining bitches everytime another game is released.
Excellent! - just have to wait til it arrives in store in the UK...
YES!!!!!! Finally!!!
I was really starting to wonder about this game. I'm glad to see that it's finally going to be coming out.
The day has arrived. I was afraid it would never come. But the game is official and looming on the horizon!
YES!!!!!! Finally!!! Top of list of my wish list
The reason they couldn't announce it earlier is that the Blood Bowl team owners could not come to an agreement with the Player's Union until this week. See all the good that flows from a new collective bargaining agreement?
This brings me back to 2010. As a gamer and a sports fan, I'm pretty hyped.
Looks like a little bit LOTR CCG, a little bit Deckbuilding game. Has promise.
Huzzah and hurrah! I had just about given this up for dead...

The information in this article applies to:
I need to create a tub deck surround for a manufacturer's symbol I found. How can I achieve this?
In Chief Architect you have the ability to import a custom 3D symbol from an outside source. In this example we will be importing a tub from Kohler and using it as a drop-in tub for our bathroom.
The surround in this example is a simple base cabinet that is modified to fit our tub.
Now that we have setup our base cabinet we are ready to import our tub and add it to the cabinet.

PCH Auto Sports – Orange County Dealership
Toyota has had a very humble beginning. In 1933, Kiichiro Toyoda visited the United States and many of its automobile manufacturing units. On his return to Japan he started an automobile division in the loom factory of his father. By that time Japan already had Ford and General Motors automobile plants but this did not discourage Toyoda. He founded the Toyota Motor Corporation on 28 August 1937. Ever since then, Toyota has continuously risen in automobile industry and became world's third largest and Japan's largest car manufacturer. During World War II, Toyota started manufacturing recycled cars because car manufacturing material was difficult to find due to war. Toyota currently has 9.8 % share of the global automobile marketplace.
Toyota cars have been famous because of their affordability, reliability and value for money. Besides this, Toyota has produced a vehicle for just about every consumer. Whether you need a small sized car or an off road vehicle to accommodate many passengers along with cargo, Toyota has something to offer to you.
If you plan to buy a used pre owned Toyota car, there is no better option than going for a Toyota certified used vehicle. Read on to know more about Toyota certification program.
This program explains the warranty of the vehicle and age of the machine besides giving you several other benefits. Toyota claims that it has sold more than 2 million used pre owned Toyota cars in the US.
Each used pre owned Toyota vehicle comes with:
1. CarFax Vehicle History Report
2. A 3,000-Mile or 3 months comprehensive warranty;
3. A 100,000-Mile or 7 years limited powertrain warranty
4. Roadside assistance for 100,000-Mile or 7 years.
5. 160-Point Quality Assurance Inspection
Toyota has also offered new car financing rates for pre owned Toyota cars besides making the financing process easier. However these rates are subject to change without a prior notice and it is wise to check out their website for the latest information.
Toyota has enjoyed a sterling reputation for long and its products are in news very often. One major advantage of buying a used pre owned Toyota vehicle is that you can have a look at what all work has been done on the vehicle. This vehicle history is available in the CarFax report that accompanies a used pre owned Toyota car.
Toyota runs a separate certification program for its hybrid vehicles with few differences from the regular used cars certification program. Hybrid vehicles undergo a 174 point inspection and the hybrid batteries are certified for 100,000 miles or 8 years. This is because hybrid batteries are expensive and hence is an important consideration before buying a used vehicle.
There are no two ways about the fact that you can have a peaceful sleep after you buy a used pre owned Toyota car. With the thorough 160 point checks that the vehicle goes through before certification, there is no possibility of a flaw going unnoticed. Since 1940s Toyota Motor Corporation has been a key automobile player. With the pre owned Toyota certification, their market reputation has increased even more and the success of the company can be majorly attributed to diligence in accessing economic, legal, environmental and social factors.

This article examines a relatively recent entrant into the world of land use reform that holds the potential to reduce the exclusionary impact of local land use regulations favoring single family homes without imposing hidden regulatory costs that themselves undercut the purpose and benefits of the reform itself. Over the past decade, a number of local governments have amended land use regulations to permit or encourage the construction of so-called "accessory dwelling units" (ADUs) in residential (especially single-family) neighborhoods. Despite the flurry of legislative action, however, many questions about these efforts remain unanswered—especially whether the reforms will actually achieve their stated purpose of breaking down regulatory barriers to affordable housing by encouraging the construction of ADUs. In order to understand more about the effects and potential for ADU reforms, this article examines the effects of ADU regulations in a context which ought to predict a minimal level of local parochialism—that is, in a state where local governments are required to permit ADUs in residential zones. The authors examine the zoning law of all California cities with populations over 50,000 people (150 total cities) to determine how local governments actually implemented ADU reforms "on the ground" after the state legislation was enacted. They then categorize these responses into several legislative groups that exemplify the varieties of responses to the state mandate. Their analysis suggest that ADU reforms—even state-mandated ones—are not silver bullets that overcome local governments' exclusionary impulses in the land use contexts.
One of the primary results of the mortgate crises, and a primary cause for the continuation of the crisis, is the depressed value of property securing mortgages in which the debt far exceeds the value. A solution to the problem of underwater mortgages requires eliminating the excess debt wrought by the housing bubble and its collapse by writing down principal. Recently investors and scholars have developed and proposed alternative plans to use eminent domain, funded by investor groups, as a mandatory way to reduce the debt of homeowners with underwater mortgages at a low cost to taxpayers (the Plan). Under these Plans, municipalities could act as agents to overcome the collective action problems caused by the fragmented ownership of property, theoretically leading to a stabilization of the housing market. In light of the significant interest that local communities and the nation at large have in the revitalization of the housing market, this Plan cannot be summarily discounted. This article explores the legal and policy considerations of a plan to use eminent domain to acquire and refinance underwater mortgages.
With growing concerns about global climate change and rising gasoline prices, there is increasing interest in expanding opportunities for people to walk or bike to key destinations. There is scientific consensus that climate change is induced mostly by increasing carbon loads in the atmosphere and this in turn is caused substantially by the burning of fossil fuels in motorized vehicles. Among the mobility alternatives to carbon-based mobility are walking and biking. Generally, there has been a trend since 1995 for more walking and biking trips though the overall share of all trips is small. Does a sizeable number of Americans want to walk or bike to work and for errands? If so, to what extent are their preferences being met?
The vision of the Native American people was maintained for thousands of years, along with the health of the land. Sustainability into the indefinite future seemed assured. Then came the invaders from the east with their nascent hope of growth. The desire was fanned into flame by Locke's non-reciprocating view of property and Smith's concept of the free markets' invisible hand. Then, wrapped in the veneer of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, growth blazed across the continent in less than two centuries. In the late 1900s, the vision of endless expansion and wealth was transformed into the specter of inescapable scarcity. There is no future for continuing economic growth. It is past time to rediscover the continent, and reclaim the tribalists' vision of cycles, balance, reciprocity and communities stretching forward without end.
Professor Jerrold A. Long has written a very interesting article on the evolution of law in the context of neoliberal hegemony (the privatization of law) published in The Urban Lawyer. He argues that narratives that represent public goods are excluded from the land use planning conversation. It is difficult not to agree with much of what he argues. His description of the dynamics of land use planning is accurate, and it is laudable that he wants to see (and prescribes how to achieve) a better connection between "the visions and desires of the affected community" and legitimate law. The only hesitance I have to full acceptance of Long's proposition is that I believe neoliberal hegemony is here to stay, at least in the near-term, and tweaking the community planning process will not change that fact.
This annual report deals with the relationship of zoning and other land use regulations and actions and the comprehensive plan (sometimes referred to as the "general" or "master" plan. It chronicles those cases decided on these matters between October 1, 2011, and September 30, 2012. The discussion begins with the three schools of thought on this relationship—one in which the plan is unnecessary and legally irrelevant, another in which the plan is a factor in judicial review of land use regulations and actions, and a third in which the plan achieves quasi-constitutional status, although it may be changed as can any policy. Following this tripartite analysis, the authors review the cases for this same period which relate to amendment, and then interpretation of the comprehensive plan, if the plan has legal significance, and proceeds to conclusions.
In the thirteen years that RLUIPA has been in effect, federal courts have come to a general consensus that the Act is constitutional. From there, however, courts have been far more varied in interpreting and applying the specific principles contained in RLUIPA's land use provisions. Since RLUIPA litigation is a relatively new area, the body of case law interpreting the Act is constantly developing and changing. This article summarizes various noteworthy RLUIPA decisions from courts across the country issued in the last 18 months that provide a general synopsis of the dynamic and evolving area of religious land use litigation.
This article reviews those major regulatory takings and inverse condemnation decisions of the past year. Section II details cases about whether particular scenarios result in takings liability. Section III details what sort of property might be considered protected. Section IV details cases analyzing whether application of Penn Central results in a taking. Section V focuses on ripeness, the most frequently applied procedural dodge to takings cases. Section VI considers other decisions involving such topics as judicial takings and standing.
In Kelo v. City of New London, the United States Supreme Court held that a municipality's exercise of eminent domain power supported only by claims that doing so would help the local economy was not a per se violation of the Public Use Clause of the Fifth Amendment. This article summarizes the past year's decisions, several of which attempt to discern what Kelo means. It also discusses pipeline takings, the effect on a due process claim of a finding that a taking was pretextual, and other issues related to the power to condemn private property for public use.

We want to celebrate The International Year of Creation and Innovation in a project entitled "Inventors of the Light". We intend to stimulate children's imagination and offer them the possibility of revealing their scientific and especially artistic skills. We think that LIGHT is a very generous theme. We can establish as topics the great inventors (or "inventors") of light: gods (God, Zeus, Apollo), stars, animals and insects (the fly light, for instance), prehistoric man, modern scientists (Edison), artists whose works are somehow connected to the idea of light. On each topic, our students may use in order to express their ideas and feelings paintings, graphics, original or translated poems, simple scientific references, short plays, short movies or anything else. By doing all these, they will enforce their abilities in IT. Art on the computer is one of their choices. This project is supposed to offer the spectacle of student's intelligence, sensitivity and creativity.
So glad to have you here!
I'll explain everything you have to to tonight or the latest tomorrow evening, as I have quite a busy skedule today.
Here's a light to welcome you into this project! :)
I am very pleased to join this porject. Can anyone fill me in What are the next steps to make?

Neighbors asked to keep a lookout for unusual activity onschool campuses after hours.
If you live near an elementary school, your eyes and ears canhelp sheriff's deputies control vandalism and illegalactivity. On Friday, Leona Cox School will become the first in thecity of Santa Clarita's "School Watch Program"designed to motivate neighborhoods to keep their schools safe.
The "School Watch Program," will officially launchat 9:45 a.m. Friday, March 7 when Mayor Bob Kellar will announcethe program guidelines and unveil the new "SchoolWatch" program signage around the school's CanyonCountry neighborhood.
Modeled after the "Neighborhood Watch" program, the"School Watch" program encourages community members wholive near local elementary schools to stay aware of any activitythat happens on campus. Anyone who notices any suspicious activitysuch as vandalism, graffiti, burglary or unsupervised individualson a campus after school hours should contact the sheriff'sdepartment.
"The purpose of the program is to empower the community tocombat crime that occurs on school campuses," Kellar said."It also creates a working partnership between schools, thecommunity and law enforcement to ensure that our children are safeand school property is protected.
For more information regarding the "School Watch"program, contact Deputy Patrick Rissler at 255-1121, ext. 5159.

We can't stop you from downloading our album for free. If you really want it, you're going to find a way. And if you really want it, why would WE try and stop you?! We want you to have our album. We want you to share it.
We can't stop you from downloading our album for free. If you really want it, you're going to find a way. And if you really want it, why would WE try and stop you?! We want you to have our album. We want you to share it.
We want to go back to the days of mix tapes and cassettes singles. When if you really wanted to listen to a song again later, you waited by the radio for it to come on and you recorded that sucker.
We make music because we love music and each one of you gives us that opportunity every time you listen. We thank everybody who helped Kickstart this album that allowed us this opportunity to bring our music to more people.
The other night I was putting my daughter Lucy to bed, and I said "Goodnight my sweet baby", she replied "No, Daddy! I'm a big girl!" I pushed her with "but you'll always be my baby girl, right?" "No, I'm gonna get bigger and bigger" "Why?" "Because I GOT to!" It was a perfect reply, I sobbed uncontrollably as I scratched her back into a blissful sleep, then continued my tears in a louder fashion in a room where I wouldn't disturb her.
Ever since she came into my life there's been a gaping vulnerability unlike anything I've ever experienced. She truly holds my heart in her hands. Every photo, every memory, every word she says leaves a very welcomed mark on my soul. I wrote this song for her, when I started to think about how some children and their parents start out so close, but end up so far apart. That will never happen to us, she will always be my best friend.
This is "Bye Bye Love"...
"Moving Past" takes a deeper look at the pictures in our past, challenging us to see them from a new perspective; one that requires total confidence that you're headed somewhere better.
Instead of over-analyzing every current decision in your life with a climate of doubt, fear and uncertainty, let's look back on those old pictures with fresh eyes, and stand firm in our decisions, knowing that this newfound faith will make all the difference.
A wise man once told us "Just stay together, and continue to write the best music you can—great things will happen." What followed were arguably the most trying 7 years in the history of the music industry, but somehow it never felt like that to us. Needless to say, we followed his advice, and he was right...
Throughout our career, we made 2 albums with Tooth & Nail Records—a cool label out of Seattle that spawned a lot of bands we grew up listening to—and another 2 albums since going independent. We also stumbled upon fun outlets to explore our silly brand of humor, like youtube, where we've racked up 3 and a half million collective views on our videos.
Once we even got nominated for a Grammy, and saw a single go to number 1 at CHR Radio. Lately, we've forged some relationships that we're really proud of, like an ever-growing friendship with a show called Ninjago, which LEGO produced. The show took on a life of it's own, and now brings our band name in front of millions of cool kiddos who might never have heard of us before.
In 2012, we wrote a song that was adopted as the WGN official theme song for The Chicago Cubs, our favorite home team, as well as theme songs for NFL's Broncos, Bucaneers and Panthers.
We're so happy and proud that we listened to that man's advice. Here we are, approaching 2014 with a completely fan-funded record in hand that we are so very proud of. So thank you, the listener, for giving us something to sing about!
We'd love to be able to let you know about things we have coming up, and if you don't like it, there's a fancy little button to "Unsubscribe". We both win!
For more information, just write us!

Drake's Dad Confirms Collaboration: 'We Have A Song Together'
Drake's OVO empire is a family business given that his best buddies comprise "The Regime," his uncle makes appearances on red carpets, references to his mother seep into tearjerking joints on his albums and last but not least, his father Dennis Graham, is a bonafide star (peep his Instagram).
TMZ recently caught up with the moustached O.G. on his way out of Starbucks and asked Dennis if he ever offered his son musical guidance. "I have. We just did a song together," the frappucino-holding fellow told the media outlet.
You may recall that Aubrey first mentioned this father-son collabo in his recent cover story for XXL magazine.
"My dad is a star. That's what you have to understand," he said. "I can call my dad right now and be like, 'Yo, dad, I need you to fly to shoot.' He's always down. I'm living my dad's dream. My dad wanted to be a famous singer. I have my dad on another bonus record on the album called 'Heat Of The Moment.' It's a real relationship. Not to be ironic, we go through the motions of a father-son relationship. Right now, he happens to be extremely stable and content, and I take care of what I can for him. All he wants to do is go to Beale Street in Memphis and play music. He's rediscovered his passion for music and for being a musician."
Team work make the dream work.

Directional Antenna Basics
There is no way to cover all the important concepts of directional antennas in a single column. There have been many voluminous tomes written about this subject. This month we will look at some of the basics of AM directional antennas, and in subsequent months delve deeper into the directional array.
The first thing to remember about antennas is that every one is, in some way or another, directional. The only truly non-directional antenna is the isotropic radiator, a theoretical construct, which would look like a point source in space with no preferred direction of radiation. Although the sun, at a distance, is isotropic, an antenna with that quality cannot be constructed. Beyond the disturbance caused by the feed point, an isotropic antenna would ultimately violate Maxwell's Equations.
The ground plane antenna, which is the general topology in modern run-of-the-mill AM systems, is for practical purposes, non-directional in a given horizontal plane. Although the local environment and construction of the antenna will tend to induce some directional characteristics, we can consider such an antenna essentially non-directional in nature. In the vertical plane, the situation is very different. The sinusoidal distribution of current in the radiating element results in directional characteristics in the vertical plane. This directionality can cause nighttime interference to other facilities. Conversely, this vertical plane directionality can also be used to prevent interference in certain regions by varying the radiator height.
The directional AM antenna is comprised of two or more active elements. The topology of the directional array usually falls into four broad categories. The simplest, in-line array, consists of two or more elements along the same azimuth.
Similar to the in-line array is the dogleg. The dogleg is typically a three-tower array on two separate azimuths. The center tower is common to both azimuths, and the result is a "bend" in the middle of the tower line. Ultimately, a dogleg would not necessarily have to be limited to three towers, but does have to be based on an odd number of towers.
