The Ryobi bench drill press (from Home Depot) for $129 or the same size Craftsman (from Sears) for $199 - does anyone have any advice on this? I don't mind spending the extra money if the Craftsman is indeed better. I'll be spending most of the time on the press putting holes into ovenware/fired clay pots, with a secondary use of drilling holes into wood / steel. If the Craftsman is built in the USA I'd buy it unhesitatingly. Thanks for your views. Jeff |
Follow-Up Postings:
In lawn equipments like trimmers, a few Ryobi and Craftsment are the same except of the cosmetics. Take a close look at the two, maybe they are the same. Craftsman is not exact a good brand, it's just marketing, Sears. In fact, Sears Kenmore appliances were very good, Few years ago, when I remodeled my kitchen, I forgo fancy brands and got all Kenmore appliances.....Fridge, stove, dish washer and washer & dryer. Except the dryer, EVERYTHING BROKE DOWN. The fridge don't make ice, no cool water. One of the heating element in the stove stop working, it's a ceramic cook top, not as easy to change. The dish washer got clogged once, the cloths washer broke a part inside..........They are NOTHING like 20 years ago. Am I regretting buying Kenmore. They used to be so good, they lasted a long time......not any more. My Ryobi cordless tool survived my abuse where Dewalt failed miserably. They survived earthquake retrofit three houses where the Dewalt all burned after just one!!! You get my drift? |
If all I wanted was cheap table top model for once is while use I would just get one from harbor freight at half that price $69 bucks or so, probably the same thing anyway. If I needed drill press I would just get floor model, even cheap floor model IMO better than table top one due to the bigger chuck, motor and drilling platform and length of drilling capability... |
I second getting floor model. I bought a Craftsman table top, I regret it from day one.........not because of Craftsman, it just does not have the power. If it takes up space, might as well have one strong enough. The table top is just weaker, it get stuck, walk.......just not good enough. |
Even used floor models are quite expensive. I think plenty of people can easily do with a table top unit. I imagine force and power are not greatly involved in drilling ceramics. If it were me, I would look for a used table top on craigslist. It probably isn't broken, just been replaced by someone getting a floor model. By the way, I have both. |
Depending on how light duty you are using it. I use it occasionally, I had to bolt it down on the work bench to make it work good enough. I so wish I had bought a floor drill. You never know what you will use it in the future, I bought a smaller table press, now I can't justify spending money for a floor one. To me, that is much worst than spending a bit more money to do it right the first time. BTW, I don't think Craftsman are made in US. They just use other brands and label Craftsman on it and charge more. Their mower is nothing more than Troybilt, Ryobi relabeled. To me, Craftsman is third rated stuff. Sad part is I am speaking as the owner of almost a complete set of Craftsman tools. My drill press, bench saw and auto tools are all Craftsman. |

Cactus, go take a look at the Craftsman, and make note of the 3-digit number that is before the model number. It will be something like 316.xxxxxx - the x's representing the model number. Then google "Sears Manufacturing Codes" to get a list of the numbers that reveal the actual manufacturer of the product. If the number of the Craftsman drill press happens to be 316, that would indicate that Ryobi was the manufacturer. That would NOT necessarily mean that the Craftsman and the Ryobi are identical, but they might be. Keep in mind that Sears doesn't actually manufacture anything. I have two Delta drill presses - a floor model and a table top. To tell the truth, I use the 10" table top the most, but sometimes need the greater capacity of the floor model. |

Nov 18, 2011 11:33 AM by Associated Press (AW)
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Food and Drug Administration has declared the blockbuster drug Avastin should no longer be used in breast cancer patients because there's no proof it extends their lives - and it is causing dangerous side effects.
Friday's ruling was long expected, but is sure to disappoint women who say they've run out of other options.
FDA Commissioner Dr. Margaret Hamburg called the decision
difficult but said patients must have confidence that drugs sold for their condition are effective.
Avastin won't stop selling, as it's also used to treat colon cancer and certain other tumors, but the FDA ruling is expected to influence insurance coverage. Medicare says it will continue to cover Avastin while it evaluates whether a change is needed.

We are in the midst of a remodel, with the usual jerks and bumps along the way. Of course something came up. We had 4 types of siding on our house. Vinyl with stucco underneath and metal with wood underneath. Our original plan was to remove the vinyl, metal and wood, fix the stucco and put hardiplank on the top story where the wood and metal was. The vinyl and metal are off and it turns out the wood siding is in pretty good shape and it is redwood siding. Our contractor is offering to repair the wood siding and skip the hardiplank. In addition he will throw in the new treks deck we decided not to do because of cost. Hmmm. From what I have read wood siding needs to be maintained, and repainted every 3 to 5 years, while hardyplank holds
On the other hand the deck will last 20 years (if done right) and we can save to replace the siding at the next big iteration. Any insights I haven't thought of? Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
My experience with paint on wood siding is 8 to 10 years. |
We are in the process of having our wood siding replaced. We have serious problems with carpenter ants, woodpeckers, and rotting. Granted, this siding is 30 yrs old, but virtually everyone in the neighborhood has gotten it replaced. We're one of the few remaining houses with the original siding. |

BANGALORE: Top bosses at the Bangalore University stooped to a new low on Saturday over continuing with the officer on special duty, Syed Jamal.
After vice-chancellor N Prabhu Dev asked Syed Jamal to continue in office on Friday, registrar BC Mylarappa had Jamal's room locked and sealed on Saturday. The VC intervened and sought police help before the room was opened by 2pm.
Cops from Ulsoorgate police station landed in the campus. By then, the rooms were opened. However, they have been asked to provide protection in case there are more instances of tension between the two parties. "Exams are going on, so are valuations. It is important the office functions," Jamal said.
The problem began on Friday with the registrar sending a relieving letter to Jamal stating that his term was getting over on March 31. On receiving a copy of the letter, Prabhu Dev sent another letter to Jamal asking him to continue. The VC refused to comment on the issue.
"To recover the amount of Rs 6.98 lakh and Rs 6.11 lakh that Jamal has been misusing, I will write to the principal secretary of higher education," said Mylarappa.
He also added that on Monday teachers and non-teaching staff will stage a dharna against the manner in which the varsity is functioning under the present VC.

Earlier this week, Sony revealed that Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception would utilize an Online Pass for multiplayer play, just as Resistance 3 did last month. Curious to see if this was a trend that would be continuing for future releases, Destructoid reached out to Sony and was told, fairly bluntly, that the "Online Pass will be incorporated into Uncharted 3 and future Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios (SCE WWS) games with online functionality." This confirms that Sony would, from here on out, require gamers to type in a password before they jump into online games. Because there's nothing more fun than typing in a 12-digit long code before starting a new game, right?
There are a number of PS3 games that might be influenced by this decision coming out in the near future. This year there's Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One, which is due out this month and puts an emphasis on cooperative play. Going into next year, two of Sony's biggest releases, Starhawk and Twisted Metal, are both due out within the first few months, and both focus completely on online multiplayer over the PlayStation Network. In other words, they're totally going to require a PSN Pass.
Like it or not, the trend of including Online Passes seems to be growing. EA has been pushing them in just about every multiplayer game it published for the past two years, and THQ has started to do the same since UFC Undisputed 2011 was released. Sony is the first console maker to actually jump on the bandwagon, though, if it's successful, we'd be shocked if Microsoft didn't do something similar with copies of Halo or Gears of War in the future. It might be an inconvenience that hurts customers who purchase games used, but it certainly does its job of pushing gamers towards picking up new releases, instead of waiting for someone to trade it in. So... success?

The Chesterfield County Department of Building Inspection has become aware of several instances in which local contractor Virginia Air Mechanical has installed gas-fired whole-house generators at residences in the county in a dangerous manner such that they present a hazard and substantial risk of property damage or serious personal injury to homeowners.
Inspectors have discovered electrical work that poses significant risk of electrocution, and propane gas installation defects that create a threat of fire and/or explosion. Building Inspection officials warn homeowners who have had work performed by the company not to use their generators until they are inspected for safety.
The county has requested records or information from Virginia Air Mechanical to identify all the locations where such work was performed so that the installations can be reviewed and inspected to determine if they are safe, but Virginia Air Mechanical has failed to provide that information despite several requests over the past two months.
Because permits were not obtained, the Building Inspection Department has no records through which it can contact these homeowners directly.
Chesterfield County is seeking a court-ordered injunction against Virginia Air Mechanical in an effort to obtain information about the location of gas-fired whole-house generators installed by the company. The injunction also would prevent the company from doing any work in the county pending further investigation of the company's practices.
Virginia Air Mechanical was a trading name for Virginia Air Ducts, LLC. The owner of the company has advised that Virginia Air Mechanical has gone out of business and Building Inspection personnel have confirmed that Virginia Air Mechanical no longer has a state contractor's license. The owner has provided the Building Inspection Department with a letter transferring all of Virginia Air Mechanical's outstanding building permits to a new company, Superior Mechanical Services, LLC.
Anyone who has had work performed by Virginia Air Mechanical is urged to contact the Department of Building Inspection's Citizens Assistance line at 748-1779 immediately.
Since they're the contractors, they will shoulder all the responsibilities about the improperly installed generators.
We had a heat pump installed by this company a few years ago and Steve wouldn't stand behind the contract he had with us. We paid for an extended warranty for the Trane system that his guys installed. He didn't want to give us that warranty (parts and labor), he wanted to give us his warranty. Which we knew then the was a joke. So we contacted Trane and they gave us in writing the extended warranty that we paid for. We have told people over the years not to use him, that he was a cheat. Well now everyone knows it. So sad so many are now with issues because of him.
This is not just about the persons that have had a generator installed. I suggest their are persons with contracts who have given these companies deposits of $4000.00 or more as down payments to have them install a generator, and are holding the bag with nothing to show for it. I for one who put down a $4000.00 deposit to have one installed by Virginia Air Mechanical. Subsequently, I cancelled the contract because they couldn't furnish what they promised. Oh yes, I got my deposit back in the form of a bad check for "non sufficient funds" in their account. These people, Steve Mills, wife Angela, Marilyn Graham and John Holder are all criminals. They need to be put under the jail instead in the jail. they are so evil taking advantage of senior citizens that no place in hell would be good enough for them.
"LIKE" I know Steve personaly and he's a real wise guy, or so he "thinks" :)
You are so correct, things and people are falling from the sky, although in the right hands. Thanks for sharing your opinion.
Things are unrevealing themselves nicely. After speaking with authorities I believe records can indeed be located. Stay tuned.
I just like to say maybe someone did come forward, In the newspaper someone provided some information to inspectors, I saw on the news this poor man who had purchased an expensive generator and it just is sitting there doesnt work this is a shame! i sure hope that they cant operate under any company name anywhere, I got my doubts this will happen, but then again who knows sometimes the courts, or some jusdges will do the correct thing.
my parents have put in a generater and i truely hope that it wasnt yall that put it in i feel as if you going after the elderly what if it was your family
I say prosecute Steve and Angela Mills and other HVAC workers to the fullest extent of the law.
Id like to see the actual ex employees come forward.........just saying

Los Angeles, CA, 90057, United States
Like vintage Buicks and aging divas, old delicatessens preserve themselves well in the southern California sunshine. Canter's, Nate 'n Al, Greenblatt's: all unimpeachable specimens. But the sine qua non will always be 1947-founded Langer's, source of the finest pastrami this side of the Hudson. The meat—smoky around the edges, Kobe-tender, and bursting with beefy juice—requires not a smidge of seasoning, though mustard comes standard. And the rye...Good Lord, the rye: par-baked daily at Bea's Bakery, in Tarzana, then finished in-house till it's plush in the center but crisp at the crust. Finally there's the setting: brass chandeliers on a dropped-panel ceiling; a malt machine; a case of cakes the size of truck wheels. Dare you? Yes. Yes, you do.

ServeRAID support CD 7.x may not boot on Intel Pentium 3 processors - Servers
RETAIN tip: H187621
The IBM ServeRAID Support CD version 7.00 and higher may not properly boot on some older IBM Netfinity and IBM eServer xSeries servers running Intel Pentium III or Intel Pentium III Xeon and older processors. Below are several symptoms the user may see while booting to the support CD on an affected system:
The system may be any of the following IBM servers:
The system is configured with one or more of the following IBM Options:
The system is configured with at least one of the following:
Note: This does not imply that the network operating system will work under all combinations of hardware and software. Please see the compatibility page for more information: http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/
The following options are available to a server affected by this issue:
The IBM ServeRAID Support CD version 7.xx and above use a newer Linux kernel than previous versions of this bootable CD. Upgrading the kernel version was required to support new features added to the software and ServeRAID 6 series of controllers. Unfortunately, the newer kernel also changed some memory management behavior for Pentium III or Pentium III Xeon based systems. ROM space utilization for PCI devices and video may result in the support CD to not properly detect and configure the servers video adapter. ROM space utilization will vary from system to system due to different BIOS versions, settings, number of PCI controllers installed, and total memory capacity, etc. These differences can cause one server to be affected while a similarly configured system will work fine. Using a slightly older version of the IBM ServeRAID Support CD, like version 6.xx, can be used to configure ServeRAID controllers on affected systems. The CD version 6.xx can also be used when the controller is running 7.12.xx or higher BIOS and firmware. Since the controllers firmware creates the data structures on the drives, using a previous version of the support CD to configure the controller will not cause compatibility issues. The ServeRAID Manager Application version 7.xx, and above, can be installed within respective supported operating systems and be expected to function properly. Only the bootable IBM ServeRAID Support CD version 7.xx, and above, are known to occasionally exhibit this issue. Applicable countries and regions

Zakk Wylde dresses up as Bruce Lee for Loveline.
Zakk when he use to be a model in the 80s.
Zakk Wylde has gone off the deep end. Or the non use of alcohol has exposed us to the REAL Zakk. It seems that he thinks his celebrity profile is that of one who TMZ actually cares about. So, to throw off the Paparazzi Mr. Wylde is dressing in full blown Bruce Lee garb, wig & faux face scratches to boot. To be frank, he's a dead ringer for the dead kung fu king!

Smooch and Tucker Both of my Goldens have been rescued. We rescued Smooch from Golden Opportunities Golden Ret. Rescue in 1999 when she was 16 months old. She was the best Golden Girl ever! We had to let Smooch go to the Rainbow Bridge on Dec. 7, 2010. We adopted Tucker from the Golden Ret. Forum. His family had to find him a new home and Ken and I took Tonka to meet him and adopted him on the spot. Tucker is a very special, loving, Golden Retriever, just as Smooch was!! You can read Tucker's story here: http://www.goldenretrieverforum.com/...portunity.html (Adoption Opportunity) The second picture is Smooch and the first picture is Tucker, swimming with Tonka.

Our younger daughter took one of the Akita/Golden mixes from a litter my mom's Golden had back in 1993. Annie was a great dog, but died from bladder cancer back in 2001. I was distraught and was looking online for another Akita/GR mix when I finally convinced my wife to let her Shi-tzu go. He was 16 years old, blind, incontinent, deaf, and an evil-mean little ******* with bad kidneys and no control over his spincter. (poop just fell out when he walked) Well, wife snuck up on me when I was looking at the Tenn Valley Golden Retriever Rescue site and pointed at a picture and said, "Thats the one we want." A little gold fluffball that was found in a coal shed with her momma and 7 siblings. All had distemper and were being treated. We adopted her in May 2001 (the last TVGRR adoption in Memphis) and she was a great dog. Turns out that she was most probably a NSDTR. She would sleep on my chest if I dozed off in my recliner. Played fetch all day with short tosses. In april 2009 she was diagnosed with Mast Cell. With a special diet and suppliments, and vinoblastin chemo, she had a great life until April 2011. When it was time, we both knew it and we both cryed as she went to The Bridge. The house was just so QUIET, so I was looking online again and saw this blonde, curly, skinny Golden that was an owner surrender to a kill shelter in KY, but had been rescued the day before being put down by Middle Tenn Golden Retriever Rescue. We drove up from MEM to Nashville on Memorial Day 2011 to meet and visit with 2 dogs. The first hated men. And the second, Daisy May, ran across the room and jumped on my wife's lap. She said, "This is the one we want." And so it was. After we adopted her, we received a bunch of paperwork including the shelter surrender paperwork. Owners name and address was redacted. Under "Breed" was, "pure bred Golden Retriever". And under "DOB" was "9-16-2009". She had been neglected and backyard kept to the point that her belly and her hind legs and butt and tail had to be shaved because they were so matted and nasty. On her first visit to our vet , they scanned her and discovered that she had an AKC supplied chip, of the type provided to breeders. The chip was never registered to an owner. I suspect that she was a Christmas gift in Dec 2009 to some kid that quickly lost interest, or the parent(s) got fed up with the chewed up stuff in the house, and she was relegated to the life of a back yard dog until sometime in the spring of 2011 when someone took her to the pound. Once we got her home, she was so regal in her bearing that we knew that she was royalty, so she went from "Daisy May" to "Princess Daisy". She now rules over vast rhelms, estates and protectorates. Her adventures are posted over on the "Fur All Dawgies Only" thread. Yes, we are one of "those" people. A dog people.

What a coincidence, my Daisy gets called Daisy May She was the first ever pet, let alone the first ever dog, for a family with three kids. But they didn't know how to handle her, what to teach her, so she had become an uncontrollable nightmare. She had been loved, cuddled by the kids, and physically cared for. I don't think she'd had much peace or a quiet place. She didn't respond to her name, was so difficult on a lead that I think she can't ever really have been out on it. Some of her responses make me think someone got frustrated and angry with her at times. We have worked on the extreme resource guarding, are winning with walking on a lead, and are working on a recall, responding to her name, and not chasing cats/chickens/ducks/geese........ And having lots of games and cuddles along the way

The History of the Federal Reserve
6% of the Dividends are paid to private sharehold (514 comments)
This is the think most people don't seem to understand about the Fed.
1. The Fed does make a profit (Interest, national debt).
2. 6% of the profit earned by the Federal Reserve is paid in dividends to the twelve member banks each year.
3. The twelve member banks have private shareholders (usually private banks) profiting heavily at our expense.
4. In one year the 6% dividends were over $350 Billion.
If people wanted to find out the real value of the dollar then we could stop the Fed from tacking on interest to "made up currency" and make up $10 trillion and pay the national debt in one shot. Unfortunately, I think most people would be shocked at how little that dollar would be worth then.

Michelle, the soft opening of Everest isnt just for passholders. They did the cast preview for about 4 days (obviously u remember lol) and then the next week they had previews for pass holders. The soft opening I think is open to any guests but only during certain times and days.. But Im not 100% sure because I dont work at AK..
I went to MK and MGM today and I saw the ring at Haunted Mansion! Its so teeny tiny though! Also I pulled the rope over at Indiana Jones but I didnt pull it too hard because it says do not pull so I kinda chickened out lol! So no screams..
If anyone knows anything Fantasmic related.. ANYTHING.. Id like to know.. I work Merchandise at Fantasmic (And ToT and Rockin Roller coaster..Area 50 wo0op wo0op!) And I LOVE Fantasmic with the biggest passion! If I could Id skip my breaks to watch the show.. I own the soundtrack and have seen the show SO many times that I know it all and I know when things that are supposed to happen dont happen and when things are changed and stuff... I swear, If I could somehow just take a trip to the mountain and see how it all worked out, I would die happy!
I have a hidden Mickey that no one mentioned (Or at least I dont think they did! 25 pages is alot lemme tell u!) At Phillar Magic before the show starts, look to the right side of the stage (the border part of the stage) There is one instrument.. one of those Blowy/ Horn-y ones that is round. In the middle of it is a hidden Mickey!
Also I believe that Fantasmic is the only place you can see Mickey as Steamboat Willie
(As a character!)
And some more Fantasmic points..
If its a cold night and you have no blanket or Towel, Dont sit too close to the front or you'll probably get wet (depending on the wind Direction..) We sell Blankets Towels and Sweaters up at the courtyard if you need one!
STAY TILL THE LIGHTS IN THE THEATER COME BACK ON! SOOO many guests leave even before the float comes out so not only do they miss ALL of the characters dancing around but they also miss Mickey at the tippy top of the mountain setting off the Fireworks! And that has to be the best part of it all! I swear, EVERYTIME I see the end of the show (And remember, I work there) I get the chills and feel the magic...

The military can't operate without obedient soldiers
You assume that soldiers in mass will decide to take arms against the mostly law abiding gun owners of this country. I have a little more faith in the people that make up our police and military. They have families just like you and believe in America and defending the rights that this country espoused.
Not all, but many and that's all that matters.
Yes we are not equally equipped with drones and Apache helicopters but if you have spent any time overseas in a combat zone, that never stopped 3rd world insurgents from fighting back. Ask the people of Afghanistan how their obsolete arms helped them survive some of the greatest invasion forces the modern world has ever seen. Ask the founders about fighting the British.
This country will fall when you and I admit defeat, not because we are outgunned by the government.
Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

I hate to rain on anybody's parade, but if the issue here is
that having assault weapons, we will be on equal footing with the government should an armed revolution be in order - that is pure fantasy.
Has anybody seen the footage taken from assault helicopters in Afghanistan? Any poor fool on the ground who even LOOKS LIKE he might be carrying a weapon, is assumed to have an AK47 and is immediately mowed down with 50 caliber machine gun fire, as an insurgent. And if he ducks into a building, the building is immediately taken out by means of missile.
NOTHING we can buy, puts us on the same footing as the military. NOTHING evens our odds, even slightly.
Using the testimony given by this guy, we can see that the 2nd Amendment was meant to let us buy the weapons commonly used today. That would include attack helicopters etc. so that the government does not maintain an inherent superiority over us. THATS the gist of US being a "militia" - but that ability has been outlawed years ago.
An AK47 gives us an advantage IF we have armed civilian group against armed civilian group - much like the gangs that took over when the Soviet Union fell.
But don't in your wildest dreams, think that anything like an AK47 will do a thing to help us fight a tyranical government attack.

In war half of the mission
is to acquire the weaponry and supplies necessary to achieve your goal. The other half is to weed out the armchair or keyboard warriors who do nothing but talk and spread defeatism. Do you think that the members of the military who honor their oath to the Constitution are going to come to us empty handed? Don't you think there are individuals savvy enough to understand that any resistance is dependent upon the capture of the opposing sides weaponry? Have you ever seen what a small laser can do when flashed inside the cabin of a helicopter or plane? Things such as this will be utilized to even the stakes a bit. In war there are sacrifices and those sacrifices might mean going out with just an AK or AR. There are times a commander must send warriors on a mission that he knows they won't return from and you can bet your bottom dollar that will happen many times if and when the SHTF. People die in uprisings and contrary to popular belief there isn't a reset that makes them miraculously regenerate. Such is war, it's a situation to be avoided at high cost but one to be dutifully engaged in to preserve our liberty, what's the worst they can do nuke us? I, for one, really don't think the armed forces are the ones we will face, rather it will be the minions of the alphabet agencies whose only loyalties are to their own career advancement and to promote their inflated cowboy egos. Remember and prepare for Waco and Ruby Ridge and to act as bloodthirsty and ruthlessly as they. And for God's sake, don't leave a manifesto behind.

Absolutely Not
Having fought insurgents on two separate occasions, I can tell you that air superiority is an advantage, but when facing an angry population it is at best a poor advantage. We win fights in Afghanistan and Iraq because we are trained and because most of the people are just as angry at them for bringing war to their country. In most places, the first thing that the insurgents do when they get to town is disarm the locals. Look at all the Arab regimes right now that are falling, some just gave up when the protests go too bad.
When SHTF, grab the AR your bought, go to the nearest gun range and find a guy who can teach you how to shoot and fight. Don't buy into this "military only" BS. If an armed citizenry was no problem for a dictatorship, they wouldn't be trying to disarm us would they?

Freedom IS Free - Its ludicrous foreign wars of aggression that
are expensive and that threaten our freedom through blowback.
"If an armed citizenry was no problem for a dictatorship, they wouldn't be trying to disarm us would they?" They want us EASY - like a cheap date.
ANY battles you win overseas are 100% due to superior weapons. THEY have skin in it. THEY are fighting aggressors in THEIR lands. YOU are simply using superior weapons and doing a job you are paid to do.
Locals are not angry at "insurgents" for bringing war. They are angry that they are often inconvenient collateral damage to US weapons in wars the US should never be involved with in the first place.

So you think Iraqis love AQI, Afghans love the Taliban? Maybe they like having their elders beheaded, their kids drafted, being forced to grow opium? Do you have some kind of experience with these people that makes you believe this, or does all your information come from the internet and RT?
I have no desire to defend the last 10 years of destruction as some kind of patriotic necessity for freedom. But I signed up believing that this country was what it claimed to be, and did my job with honor until I could leave. You won't find any blood on my hands. Nor will you find it on the hands of most soldiers.
I like your link, and I know exactly what that vehicle is, what its weaknesses are, how it feels to be cramped inside a metal can with the sun beating on it, with tiny metal slits for viewing. If you're too scared to fight, then just stay the hell out of my way if/when something goes down. I also know there are millions of veterans in this country who are OATHKEEPERS, and wish that they could honestly say you're welcome when someone says "thanks for defending my freedom." I spend hours posting countries and dictatorships who have been taken down by an armed populace, often with the help of the military. Egypt comes to mind as a recent, though poor, example.
I see this was taken off the front page. A shame because the video is fantastic, but at least we can have a real conversation without ruining the DPs message. If you want to know what the wars were like, I'm right here. There's a hell of a lot that you can't learn on you tube or from a biased source. The strongest and most fervent cadre of libertarians you will find come out of the military. Don't forget it.

And there are at least five kinds of armored troop carriers
pictured on that link. Not just one.
I don't hold what the military did and does against you personally of course. But I cringe when I see things like the lastest commercial for the Navy broadcast on NFL games.

"The Navy. A global force for GOOD."

And who GAVE Afghanistan the Taliban? Who armed them to
take on the Soviet Union? Who financed Al Qaeida in the early years? Who propped up Mubarak with nearly $2 billion per year in aid? Who deposed a democratically elected leader in Iran, in the 1950's and installed the bloodthirsty Shah - which resulted in a Muslim revolution?
All of these questions have the same answer - the USA did.
So the same problems we are supposedly fighting to solve - we BEGAN with our meddling.
And we are about to do the same thing in Syria. And why? Because the powers that be see perpetual war as justifiable economic stimulus (its the only one both parties go along with) and in order to make millionaires and billionaires of defense contractors.
You HAVE blood on your hands if you were over there, whether you admit it or not. SOMEBODY held those weapons. SOMEBODY pulled those triggers. And the trials at Nuremberg long ago showed us that "following orders" is no excuse.

It just isn't true
We had nothing to do with creating the Taliban. They didn't exist until years after the soviets withdrew. If anything, we are to blame for discontinuing our aid when they needed it most. They were a defensive militia responding to mujahideen excesses that got power hungry and slaughtered their own people. http://www.rawa.org/times.htm I have no idea why you think we finance Al Qaeda, other than the obvious war on drugs. None of those vehicles are particularly serious, and it wouldn't take you long on wikipedia or global security if you wanted nomenclature and performance statistics. The pics are of a stryker, MRAPs, and a weird looking BRDM.
Is Afghanistan's problem foreign intervention? Hell yes, from the world writ large since the dawn of man. There's absolutely no need to defend the last ten years, and there's also absolutely no need to pretend that the military as a whole is the guilty party and not the policy makers and voters who approved and sent us into these situations. If I'm guilty of anything, it's loyalty to the citizens of this country. And you know what, maybe the Navy is completely out of it's gourd, but you should be happy that that's what they aspire to be. The answer might just be more education and openness, not infighting and threats of war-tribunals that will never happen. I'm sure Richard Phillips thinks they've done some good, so do the people of Sumatra and Indonesia. I can also tell you that we have built roads, dams, infrastructure, provided medicine that saved thousands if not millions of children's lives. We have paid for food relief during droughts and countless other humanitarian actions. The Karma scales are weighted on both sides.
What I and many others are guilty of is wading into a disgustingly gray situation with no idea of how to fix it. Is that having blood on my hands? Maybe, but instead of going home or quitting, I did my best to fix it. The triggers pulled were against those trying to kill me first. The same guys who would and sometimes did kill any decent Afghan who stood up for their family, or offered a patrol some bread and tea because their extraordinary sense of hospitality commands it.
Look, I have nothing against you for being angry, you should be. But your anger is profoundly misdirected. Even RP voted for the initial invasion of Afghanistan. RP as you might recall, spent two years in the air force during Vietnam. Blood on his hands? Yeah, the blood of those people whose lives he saved as a flight surgeon. Peace movement, end foreign intervention, open real investigations into the decisions we've been making, rock on. There's nothing peaceful about turning the gun around and starting a war in the other direction. The military is one of the few organizations in this country who still believes in the constitution, including civilian control. That's a huge reason the population is so profoundly disconnected from us. Your fight may include some of us, but as sexy as a simple solution is, there's a hell of a lot more to the problem than that.

CIA worked with Pakistan to create the Taliban.
"LONDON: The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) worked in tandem with Pakistan to create the "monster" that is today Afghanistan's ruling Taliban, a leading US expert on South Asia said here.
"I warned them that we were creating a monster," Selig Harrison from the Woodrow Wilson International Centre for Scholars said at the conference here last week on "Terrorism and Regional Security: Managing the Challenges in Asia."
Harrison said: "The CIA made a historic mistake in encouraging Islamic groups from all over the world to come to Afghanistan." The US provided $3 billion for building up these Islamic groups, and it accepted Pakistan's demand that they should decide how this money should be spent, Harrison said......"

You mean the Mujahideen
The CIA funneled arms to Pakistan to fight the soviets, true. And Pakistan often favored islamic groups, for a lot of heinous reasons. But after that he's conflating groups into the Taliban. Some groups, like Hekmatayr and the Haqqani network were part of the soviet fight and are still insurgent groups today. They often go by the name "Taliban" the same way that groups will call themselves Al Qaeda just to get the message across. But they never controlled Afghanistan, they didn't slaughter the hazaras, and they used to fight the Taliban. The Taliban didn't exist until 1994, five years after the soviets left and we stopped giving a shit.
Yeah, a lot of our weapons probably ended up with them, we give aid to Pakistan and Pakistan uses tribal insurgents to keep afghanistan quiet and as a weapon against india. But the role the CIA played in creating the Taliban is at best indirect and you have to really go out of your way to pretend that the US started the fighting in Afghanistan.

What about semi-automatic .50
What about semi-automatic .50 caliber rifles (essentially sniper rifles)? They are incredibly expensive but as far as I know they are legal to buy. I'm sure the assault weapons ban would make it illegal to buy one but I'm sure a few .50 cal shots could bring down a helicopter if hit in the right area(s).

THEY have hundreds of fully automatic .50 caliber machineguns
rockets, troop carriers, tanks, planes etc etc etc.
And you think we might have a chance with a few ultraexpensive .50 caliber semiautomatic rifles?

Just saying - in the woods
Just saying - in the woods with the proper camo, damage can be done. If they can do it in the sand, we can do it in the woods, in the tall grass, and lets not forget urban areas. If you don't have a fighting spirit when shizzle hits the fan, you might as well roll over and die. This has nothing to do with movies.

This foreigner turned American knows more about the 2nd Amendments purpose then do those uneducated panel of bureaucrats sitting as a group who considers themselves to be OUR masters.
This guy hit the nail on the head, especially with the last part of his statement.
He is definitely an AMERICAN, no matter where he came from!
And those nasty bureaucrats, they on the other hand are NOT true Americans!
Liberty lives in our hearts. And the 2nd Amendment is a reminder that the Liberty that lives is SOOOO FEW hearts comes to a point where when all else fails, it IS OUR DUTY to save it!

Using the govt's own sources and reports against it
This is how the reformation succeeded...in quoting the likes of Augustine and Aquinas and using the Catholic Church's own approved theologies by priest and saints of the Catholic Church, they were able to defend themselves with the church's own theology when persecuted.

I blame that on the Main Stream Brainwashers called the media, as well as the public school turned indoctrination centers.

QR Code Virtual Costume: for the Shy or Lazy Geek
Redditor adriannezy wanted to "participate in Halloween at the absolute minimum level" at her workplace, so she went as a QR code. Well, not exactly. She went as a clever geek, who found a way to be seen wearing a costume without actually wearing one in real life. Confused? Get a QR code scanner – there are several free apps that can do this – and use it to read the code on her shirt:
I used the RedLaser app to scan it. If everything went right, your scanner should direct you to this link, which contains this picture:
At first I thought the QR code would make a costume pop up over her shirt. Guess I was hoping it would be an augmented reality target instead, so I am a little disappointed. Still, it's certainly a nerdy, if roundabout way of costuming.

Tried 3 different scanner apps. Not picking up the code from the picture…. maybe the picture is not clear enough?
Wow, apparently I'm not the only one with a QR Code-themed Halloween costume this year: http://justinsomnia.org/2011/10/human-qr-code/
Me either Justin! http://carminemedia.com/mobile – also, I'm not sure you can be shy wearing this costume as I had a steady stream of folks scanning my, ahem, chest most of the day.
Ha, nice Sue. You'll probably appreciate my meta-costume from two years ago: http://justinsomnia.org/2009/10/mise-en-abyme-halloween/
Justin – that's awesome! I'm pretty sure it's a break in the space time continuum though. Sue
Interesting the way she is wearing it, although 'techincally' not upsidedown, visually it is! Great idea though.

My 2 yr old male choc lab skin has become very dry,flakey and itchy.Need advice on how to help him.He is on a lamb/rice dog food for sensitive skin.He goes to doggie day camp 1 day week,they have been having water fun day on the day he goes and gets a bath there afterwards.Im wondering if the weekly bathing is causing this?Im sure it cant help.He is otherwise very healthy.No fleas or ticks. |

IMO, weekly bathing of a dog is excessive. Labs have a natural oil in their coats which protects them when they are in the water retriving ducks. |

The Queen conferred one of the most prestigious awards in UK higher education on the Institute of Medical Genetics at Buckingham Palace ceremony earlier today.
The Vice-Chancellor, Dr David Grant received the Queen's Anniversary Prize medal from Her Majesty. The Institute's Director, Professor Julian Sampson, received the Prize certificate from the His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. The Cardiff party also included the University's President, Lord Kinnock, the Chair of Council, Professor Sir Keith Peters, the Dean of the Medical School, Professor David Wynford-Thomas and five students working at the Institute.
The Queen's Anniversary Prizes are awarded every two years for excellence in the higher education. The Institute of Medical Genetics won for discovering the genetic causes of numerous diseases and its work developing diagnostic tests, counselling and treatments for patients with those diseases.
The Institute's achievements have included:
The Institute is now expanding with a £4.8M investment in new laboratories for more work on cancer genetics. The focus will be on developing new methods of earlier diagnosis and treatment. One treatment, for tuberous sclerosis, is already undergoing clinical tests and initial results suggest it is effective in reducing tumour size.
Professor Sampson said: "It was a great honour to receive the award from Her Majesty this morning. The students and staff at Cardiff University's Institute of Medical Genetics are all delighted that our work in developing new diagnostic tests and treatments for patients with genetic conditions has been recognised in this way."
This is the third Queen's Anniversary Prize to be won by members of Cardiff University staff. Professor Tony Campbell won a Prize in 1998 for his application of bioluminescence to clinical diagnosis. The Manufacturing Engineering Centre won a prize in 2001 in recognition of its contribution to the economy.

Del Marquis' Sale Of The Century
By Chris Azzopardi
How is your alter-ego Viz -- seen in the digital shorts that accompany the music in the series -- different from you?
He's kind of like the id. His songs are very humanistic and very heart-on-sleeve, and you kind of see this character before he goes through this transformation and I think that, in a way, it was a parallel to why I started this music. I felt like I was going through a transformation of my own, and in order to kind of capture that and help me understand it I recorded these songs. So in a similar way you're seeing this character who's kind of an emotional, fully dimensional human go through a transformation and become a negative conveyor to society, and he's not really sure how he got there [laughs]. And so that's the 'to be continued ...'.
So there's more coming?
Yeah, it's an ongoing series, and eventually it'll lead to a digital feature that we'll put out.
Are you working on anything right now with the Scissor Sisters?
We've been working on our third album, and there's a lot of really good songs -- there's a ton of songs [laughs]. Jake and Babydaddy can't stop writing. I think they have a disease. We've just got a ton of great songs, and hopefully we'll be wrapping it up soon, but I don't like to speak out of turn.
What's it been like working without Paddy Boom?
He's a friend of mine; I see him whether or not he's in my band. We have another drummer [Randy 'Real' Schrager] and he's really great. It was relatively seamless only because we had worked with this other drummer on the end of the last tour when Paddy was sick, so for better or worse it was a seamless transition. I like both people immensely, and just because Paddy's not in the band doesn't mean -- he's definitely still doing music and I definitely hang out with him.
Jake is pretty notorious for getting naked on stage. Are you a little more modest?
I -- I guess I'm more modest. I don't know. You know, if I was the front person of the Scissor Sisters, which I'm not, and I was performing to an enormous -- [laughs]. I don't know. Who knows? Sometimes when you're performing you're possessed. I know that it's in his DNA. He just likes to get naked. It's probably not in my DNA. I think clothes irritate him. He seems to be the best and most natural when he has the least amount of clothing on.
We enjoy it anyway, so why not?
So, your facial hair -- underneath that you've got quite a baby face.
Ooh, right.
Is having that baby face a curse or a blessing?
I have no problems. If I want to look a little bit older, then I grow this beard. It's also because I've just been lazier and I don't wanna shave.
Do you get carded when you shave it?
I haven't shaved it in a while. You know, people card you anyway these days. I've got gray hair growing in and they still card me.
You don't dye it?
No. I don't wanna do that rinse; I think that looks really strange [laughs]. That George Hamilton kind of like weird rinse? Not for me.
Del Marquis' digital-only album, Litter to Society, is out May 26 on iTunes and at www.delmarquis.com.


text:
Seventeenth century scholars were obsessed with the idea of a universal language that would permit all peoples to communicate with each other. They were especially interested in a language based on philosophical principles which could represent the true essence of things and ideas, rather than simply use arbitrary sounds and meanings. With its conspicuous pictographic elements (largely misunderstood at the time), the Chinese writing system was thought by many to be just such a language. In 1605 Francis Bacon described it as having "Characters Real, which express neither letters nor words in gross, but Things or Notions."
Based on the misconception that the characters were essentially hieroglyphic, many European scholars believed that they might contain ancient truths and mysteries. (Kircher even argued that Chinese and Egyptian were related.) The monkey reading a page in the engraving above is not a mockery, but rather an emblem for the Latin proverb Ars simia naturae or "Art, the Ape of Nature," which suggests that Chinese is capable of mimicking or "aping" nature in its true form. The characters depicted in the background, Shang fang 上方, mean "Celestial Realm" (literally, "place above"), reinforcing the idea of a hieroglyphic script capturing the essence of heavenly truths or concepts.
Most accounts of China also mention that printed books had existed since the Tang dynasty (618-907), centuries before Gutenberg's printing press (ca. 1440), although some in Europe responded with disbelief. A crucial distinction is that carved woodblocks were used instead of movable type, but Matteo Ricci observed that this was better suited to Chinese characters, and that artisans worked so swiftly that carving a block took no more time than European typesetters in composing pages and correcting proofs. They could print up to 1,500 pages a day.
Despite this fascination with Chinese characters, the earliest descriptions of Chinese writing in this period were reported by Europeans who had not learned the language. They frequently stressed the great number of characters, their universal comprehensibility among speakers of mutually unintelligible dialects, and the literacy and studiousness of the Chinese. The notion that Chinese is a monosyllabic language appears in the first accounts, although most "words" actually consist of two or more characters. With the publication of Matteo Ricci's journals in 1615, Europeans first learned about the tonal structure of the language and about the difference between the classical literary idiom and the spoken form.

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 Rishi!
Facts about Rishi
- Breed: Beagle
- Color: Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White)
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Rishi's Info...
I am purebred, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
This little girl does not take anything off the other pups. She has told them off several times because they bumped into her. She is pretty sassy! LOL.
Her shots are current and she has been de-wormed. Her dew claws have been removed.
Other Pets at SRL Inc
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Rishi, a MINNEAPOLIS Beagle puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Beagle for sale in MINNEAPOLIS, or seeking a Beagle puppy from a breeder in MINNEAPOLIS.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in MINNEAPOLIS 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 MINNEAPOLIS 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 Beagle breeders who help with Beagle rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in MINNEAPOLIS paves the way for another one to be saved.

September 2014
I must admit I am glad that the busy summer season is winding down. I would like to thank all those who visited the museum and stopped by my booth in Moose Lake and Ishpeming. Special thanks go out to those who purchased items and gave donations to support the museum. I am happy to report that the rumor suggesting that the museum has closed is not true. I have not had time to crunch the numbers, but I think sales are up in August over the same period last year. Since the season started slow and because July sales were just so-so, total revenue is probably about even with last year. That is an improvement and plans are to continue museum operations, at least for another year. However, it would help if extra sales can be generated. Thus, if any of the Gitche Gumee Museum supporters have been considering having me make a custom agate window or lamp, please place an order by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. I am all caught up with custom orders and would have time this fall to make you some awesome mineral art!

NEW YORK (AP) - Stocks are mostly lower at the close of trading, and the Dow Jones industrial average posted its fourth straight day of declines.
Stocks faded in the last half-hour of trading Tuesday after staying positive most of the day.
Traders struggled with conflicting news about the economy. One report on Tuesday showed that home prices in July rose the most in more than seven years. Another showed that Americans' confidence in the economy slipped in September.
The Dow fell 66 points to close at 15,334. The Standard & Poor's 500 index eased four points to 1,697.
The Nasdaq composite, however, edged up two points to 3,768.
Software company Red Hat slid $6.20, or 12 percent, to $46.73, after it reported lower-than-expected quarterly billings and issued disappointing revenue forecasts.
