For the most part, though, life in prison after his murder conviction wasn't all that bad. He says he had ready access to pot, booze and cash. While at the Limon prison in the early 1990s, he belonged to the Mexican Connection, a group of inmates that, he claims, essentially ran the prison, chose the guards and slept with the female corrections officers.
Things became dangerously uncomfortable for Chris only in 1992, when his snitching hit the big time. On April 1 of that year, Limon inmate Philip Rose was found dead in his cell, suffocated by a plastic bag. Inmate David Wood was accused of killing him. Three months later, twenty-year-old Daniel Shettler turned up dead in his cell. This time, a trio of inmates--Clifton Blecha, Roger Younger and James Green--stood accused. And a year later, Chris Rodriguez surfaced as the prime witness in both cases ("Murder Incarcerated," May 5, 1993).
According to court records, Rodriguez met with agents of the Colorado Bureau of Investigation three times in June 1992. After those meetings, Chris was moved to Centennial prison (where the murder suspects had also been sent) and was placed on the same cell block as Blecha and Wood. Wood's attorneys would later claim in court documents that Rodriguez's transfer was part of a deal under which the CBI "agreed to certain concessions for Mr. Rodriguez." One such concession, Rodriguez would later admit in court, was that after testifying, he would be transferred to an out-of-state prison and that his name would be changed.
When Rodriguez next met with CBI agents, in October of that year, he had great news for them--both Wood and Blecha, he announced, had confessed to him. The following month, Wood was charged with Rose's murder and Chris Rodriguez was transferred to the tiny Lincoln County Jail in Hugo. The move to such a relaxed setting was highly unusual, and Wood's attorneys suspected Chris had been given the new digs as a payoff. Prison officials, however, insisted that Rodriguez was moved for his own safety.
In Hugo, Rodriguez was made a trustee and given the run of the place. He was allowed to leave the jail unencumbered by handcuffs or leg irons in order to help the janitor with chores. He was even allowed to earn some walking-around money by washing deputies' personal cars.
The idyllic arrangement ended in February 1993, says Lincoln County sheriff LeRoy Yowell, when deputies found that Rodriguez had smuggled bullets into his jail cell. Rodriguez was unceremoniously hauled back to Canon City, where guards observing him in a special isolation cell discovered that he had arrived with contraband in his rectum: six more bullets and $117 that he'd stolen from the Lincoln County Jail commissary.
Rodriguez contends that he was sent back to prison as part of a deeper conspiracy. He claims that at Lincoln County he'd been covering for a deputy who liked to steal boxes of frozen dinners. In return for his silence, Chris says, he was allowed to mingle with the female inmates and spend quality time with them. He also claims that he was given free rein in the jail armory, where he found the bullets.
Yowell says all of Rodriguez's claims were investigated and found to be untrue. "All my employees were exonerated," he says, "and the female inmates said nothing ever happened with Chris." The bullets, Yowell says, apparently came from a jailer's car, one that Rodriguez had washed. He says there was no way Chris could have gotten into the armory. "There's only two keys to that," he says. "I have one, and the undersheriff has one."
Within weeks of leaving his sweet setup in Hugo, Rodriguez recanted his testimony in both the Rose and Shettler cases. He left a loophole, though, indicating that he might be persuaded to change his mind yet again if he was given what he wanted--an out-of-state transfer.
"When they said they was going to reinstate the old deal, I recanted the recanting," Rodriguez explains. "So everything was fine and dandy."
Chris did end up testifying in the Wood case, for what little good it did. The jury found that he and two other inmates who testified were not credible, and Wood was acquitted. (Wood has since been released from prison and has reportedly left the state.)
By the time the Shettler case came to trial, Rodriguez's testimony was considered worthless and, according to Rodriguez, he was never called to testify. Younger was acquitted. Blecha was found guilty. James Green eventually pleaded guilty. And Chris Rodriguez stayed right where he was, in the maximum-security prison in Canon City, a fact that angers him still.

The story behind JFK's visit to El Paso
POSTED: Thursday, June 6, 2013 - 9:19pm
UPDATED: Friday, November 22, 2013 - 1:00pm
El Paso, TEXAS (KTSM) — Fifty years ago, June5- 6th 1963, President John F. Kennedy made a historic visit to El Paso and stayed at the Cortez Hotel downtown. While the Cortez hotel is no longer a place where you can stay the night, the building still stands and has been renovated.
"There's always something cool to find in every town," said out of towner Aaron Baird.
And while now just a building full of offices, the Cortez building stands as it did years ago. It has a brick facade, and ornate balconies. It sits right across the San Jacinto Plaza.
"You feel like you're going back into time," said Historian Fred Morales as he enters the building.
Inside, arched, high ceilings with intricate woodwork and tiled floors give the room a nostalgic feel.
And of course a corner commemorating JFK's visit, where a framed picture hangs in the ballroom where JFK dined while he enjoyed his one night stay in downtown El Paso.
JFK flew from White Sands to El Paso International Airport before he came in a motorcade down Mesa street.
"He crossed the street and shook hands with hundreds of El Pasoans," said Morales.
While JFK's visit was meant to launch his political campaign in Texas at the time, his civil rights beliefs appealed to the borderland.
"They always wanted a president that would champion civil rights and Kennedy was at the forefront," said Morales.
The visit also brought hope for many El Pasoans. At the time, there was a huge disagreement between the U.S. and Mexico over land at the Rio Grande called the Chamizal Dispute.
"Many people felt that they were going to be displaced in south El Paso in relation to the Chamizal Dispute," said Morales.
Kennedy helped solve the disagreement and congress later signed a treaty.
In present day El Paso, people pass by never knowing an important piece of history.
"I think it's awesome that El Paso's got these structures around for people to see and to promote the history," said Picacho Coffee Roaster Owner Chad Morris.
One woman was showing her grandmother around town.
"I'm bringing my grandma to know downtown El Paso. I think that's a good fact that I can explain to her that he came here. It's funny because I was explaining the new renovation and the old," said Karem Garcia from West El Paso.

Consyrupy theory
Jack Savage's Forest Journal: The whole waffle truth
But I never knew that the Province of Quebec does the same thing on a grand scale, having established a "strategic maple syrup reserve." I only learned of this when it was widely reported last fall that a sizeable part of that reserve was stolen.
By renting a portion of the same warehouse where millions of dollars of syrup were being stored in 55-gallon drums as part of the reserve, thieves methodically siphoned off millions of gallons worth millions of dollars - so much that it took tractor trailers to move it all.
The theft was only discovered when empty barrels - and some filled with water - were found during a routine inspection. Arrests were made last December in what was being called the Great Maple Heist. Some of the stolen syrup apparently made its way to the New England market.
But that leads to an interesting question: Why does Quebec have a strategic maple syrup reserve? I mean, really?
Only two nations in the world produce real maple syrup: the United States and Canada. It is Canada that dominates production, however, accounting for 80 percent of the world's maple syrup supply - and 90 percent of that is produced in Quebec.
Sirop d'erable dominates.
In New Hampshire, the making of maple syrup is a cottage industry; we typically produce $3 million to $5 million worth of the sweet stuff each year. The value of the tourism associated with sugar-making is at least as important economically as the sale of syrup itself.
And as any New Hampshire sugar-maker knows, production can fluctuate significantly from year to year based on the weather. The 2012 season was a down year, for example, as an early spring stopped the sap drops from dripping. If you're counting on consistent cash flow, it's handy to have some of last year's crop safely stored in the back of the sugarhouse when the tourists knock on the door.
To counter the ebb and flow of supply, the Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers established the strategic maple syrup reserve. It issues quotas for syrup makers, and any production over and above those quotas is placed in that reserve.
In fact, the scheme operates as a cartel, rather like OPEC in the petroleum industry. By controlling more than 70 percent of the world's production of syrup, and by establishing a strategic reserve, Quebec can dictate the price citizens the world over pay to drizzle their pancakes.
And while that may leave a sour taste in consumers' mouths, it's one way for producers to leverage dominance, as the Middle East has done for decades with oil supply. Hydro Quebec would love to do the same with electricity.
The closest thing we have in New Hampshire to a strategic maple syrup reserve is our permanently protected forests. A number of the Forest Society's forest reservations have healthy stands of maple, and in a few cases we lease them to established sugar makers. As long as sugar maples grow in New Hampshire, our reserve is in the forest, rather than in a warehouse.
Meanwhile, I'm happy to have my own little sugar house where I can produce as much syrup as I'm willing to do the work for every year. (I won't mention where it is, just in case somebody wants to steal my backup supply.) I can remain independent of the Quebec syrup cartel. A little independence is a nice thing to have.

Jim W. checks in from the Hana Bank • KOLON Championship.
Sunday wrap-up.
What a great battle for the championship by three excellent players. Only one bogey on the day for any of the three, and that was Yani on the really difficult par 3 No. 12. A strong afternoon wind was blowing left to right on the hole and several players had their shots pushed way to the right side of the green, either into the rough or into a steep-sided bunker. That hole sealed Yani's fate as did No. 18 for Maria. Oddly enough, today the wind was toward the 18th green. On both Friday and Saturday, it was blowing toward the tee box, and players were well short of the green on their second shots, some as far as 100 yards from the front of the green. So, what a difference a day makes.
The day started out really cold. Overcast skies and a blustery wind greeted us all at the beginning of play. As I stated above, the wind direction was reversed from the previous two days, so all the lessons learned during that time was of no help today. At about noon, the sun started to peek through the overcast, and it began to warm up. By the end of play, it wasn't bad out at all.
There were really a lot of spectators today. I wanted to follow Jiyai and her group, but she is so popular that the size of the crowds changed my mind for me. I did watch her group tee off, and as I was walking toward the tee box I could hear all this cheering going on. When I got up close, I could see Jiyai tossing signed golf balls out to the gallery. What a crowd pleaser. I ended up following Se Ri's group. Se Ri is really striking the ball well these days. Always straight and true of the tee, and with her irons. She wasn't getting the ball close to the pin on her approach shots, and was constantly having to make real long putts. Once she starts being able to get closer, I believe she'll be back to her winning ways.
Crowd control was a problem today. Here in Korea, Marshals are not assigned to every hole. The pairings with the popular players have Marshals accompanying the group all along the course. Even so, spectators pay little attention to quiet signs, and not much attention to the ropes. Near the greens, fans go over, under, and around the ropes - especially if there are big rocks to stand on to get a better view. There are boulders all over the Ocean course, so it was a problem at times.
All in all, this was a great trip for me--in spite of the cold wind and all the rain yesterday. I made some new friends, saw another golf course, and watched a very competitive tournament as it happened. After a good experience such as this was, it makes me hope all the more that the new guy at the LPGA helm can get things back on track so we can all have more of these kinds of enjoyable times. Let's all wish him luck and hope for the best.
Jim W.
First thing I have to do is correct an error. I mentioned the rules lady the other day and gave the wrong name. She's Janet. Sorry for that gaff.
I checked the weather report for the area last night, so I was pretty certain today would be stormy. But, this morning, things didn't look too bad. For the first three hours there was just quite a bit of wind. The rain didn't start until about after the fourth group had finished the front nine. After that, it was really miserable.
The wind was causing problems because of the carry it gave the balls, or the drag it caused when hitting square into it. All in all, the players and caddies had a hard day. Scores tell the story, and if anyone had a chance to watch any of the coverage, things were at least as bad as they looked.
After I'd finished walking the front nine, I was going to just slowly walk the back, letting groups pass so I could get a look at more of the players. Just about halfway up No. 10, the rain started coming down harder and harder. At that time, the wind had almost stopped, but I still thought there might be a rain delay. In just a few minutes my shoes were all soggy and my pants legs were wet, so I headed back to where the vendors and display tents were set up. I had some Kim Bap while I waited. It was only about 11:00 AM at that time. About 13:00 the rain seemed to be stopping, so I went out again to see who was on 18. The respite only lasted about 10 minutes and things got all sloppy again.
So, I only saw about nine holes on the course, but there was TV coverage inside the display tent. I can't really report much on who did what from a personal angle, but looking at some of the scores from yesterday's leaders just hurts.
One thing I can say is that the sponsors have really taken care to make this tournament a success. Things are very well set up for spectators, and I can't even complain about there not being adequate bathroom facilities. There are porta potties here and there, but more than enough real bathrooms.
In the display tent, there is a charity operation going on called "Save the Children". You get tickets for drinks or food and then pay what you want, and all the money collected goes to this charity. Food and beverages are donated by local merchants. So, good job by the organizers.
I also have to comment on the Korean spectators. Even through all that rain, they were out on the course following their favorites. I was only amongst them a few times for a few minutes, and it was kind of a challenge. Umbrellas galore, and since nobody could see where they were going, lots of thumps from said umbrellas to the side of the head was pretty common. A lot of those people were soaked, but still having a great time. I wimped out as I said, and spent most of the afternoon under cover.
Tomorrow is supposed to be cloudy after morning showers, and cooler. Tee times have been set back to later in the day, so I take that to mean the weather will be better as the day goes on. The wind will still be a factor all day long, so we'll see who can hold on the best during the final round.
Day one from Incheon
You couldn't have asked for a better day for golf than today. No wind and warm temperatures made for a very pleasant day.
It takes me three different busses to get to the course, but the last one is the players' bus that loads up where players are staying. From there, it's about 10 minutes to the course. This morning, Sophie Gustafson was sitting in the front seat, and as I got on board, I was able to thank her for giving my granddaughter one of her golf balls last month at the Samsung World Championship. Sophie's got one of the nicest smiles you'll ever want to see.
Today my first stop was the driving range. After picking up a pairing sheet, I headed over to watch the action. Tee times were not until 8:49 this morning, with players going off both No. 1 and No. 10. Only 12 teams on both sides, so things went pretty fast today.
I watched the first group tee off, then went back to the practice area until Angela Park, Vicky Hurst, and Sun Young Yoo started. I hadn't followed Vicky before, and I wanted to see how Angela is coming along, so I got to do both with the one group. Angela's been having troubles of late, but today wasn't that bad. She was striking the ball well, but putts just wouldn't fall for her. Vicky had a great day, so I'm glad I got to see that.
I didn't follow any one group for more than a hole or two. I had a chance to watch Stacy Lewis today for the first time, and enjoyed watching Patty Hurst, Catriona Matthew, and Morgan Pressel. The next group to come along was Se Ri Pak, Juli Inkster, and Candie Kung. A great pairing with two HOF'ers and last year's champ. Candie was another player who had trouble with her putts, and had a long face at the end of the day.
Another pairing I was interested in was Jiyai Shin, Cristie Kerr, and Lorena Ochoa. These are the three who are contending for all sorts of annual awards this year. Jiyai was outstanding all day long, and Cristie was not bad either. On No. 7 Cristie made bogey, but it could have been far worse. Seven is a long par five with the tee box well above the green. The fairway falls away at a rapid clip with the landing area for the first shot a tier a little more than a third of the way down the hill. After that is another steep slope. Everybody has to lay up since the green is guarded on the right by a neck of water that runs midway through the fairway. The flag was tucked just back of the water close to the left edge of the green. Cristie flew the green on her third shot and landed in a deep green side bunker. Her fourth shot just cleared the bunker's edge and her chip from there rolled 20 feet past the cup. She holed that putt for bogey to limit the damage.
As I said in my last entry, this is a good course for spectators. Access to and good views of every hole. What was not so apparent to me was that this course is really steep in some places, and I wore out both knees and both feet today. Even so, I'm loving every minute of it.
One thing that isn't so convenient is that there are only a few standard bearers, so it's not easy to keep up with scores of even the group you're following. I don't know how it's decided who to give standard bearers to, but it seems they go to the more popular players. Today that included Paula Creamer's group, and Lorena, Cristie, and Jiyai's group. The latter group had by far the biggest gallery, but Paula is very popular in Korea, so there were many people trying to get a glimpse of her, too.
Wednesday, Oct. 28th, Incheon, South Korea
Practice round.
After a very long trip from San Diego to Los Angeles, from LA to Incheon, and from Incheon to downtown Seoul, I finally arrived at my hotel at 10:30 PM Korea time--something like 22 hours of travel time, total.
Got up today in time to make the 8:30 AM shuttle back out to the SKY72 Ocean course, which is just off the runway back at the International Air Terminal at Incheon. My plan for today was just to check out the course, chat with any players or caddies willing to do so, and see how tough things are going to be to walk along following this or that group once play begins.
This is a fairly new course, but aside from the hills, not a bad course to walk. The course itself is in pretty decent shape. There is more than one hole where players have to be shuttled between holes due to the steepness of the hills and distance from green to tee box. Greens are huge! Players shouldn't have trouble hitting them, but might be looking at a putt of 100 feet or so if they land on the fringe. Today was quite breezy, with prevailing winds coming from the southwest. I think this is the norm, and will make quite a difference on at least one par three (#17) and a par 5 (#6). On both holes the wind will be blowing right into the players' faces and will require some deliberation on how much more club to use. As the tournament goes on, I'll be giving more detail on the course and individual holes. One other thought about the weather. It's supposed to turn cold and rainy by the final day. I hope anyone who reads this will try hard to envision sunshine and calm conditions in Korea for the rest of the week. The power of positive thinking is what I'm hoping for.
Today was a very low-key day. I think I was the only non-official guy there. On the driving range there was no barrier set up, so I was able to walk out to right behind the players and talk to the ones I know and to a bunch of the caddies. There are only 71 players, so that makes quite a difference on how many are going through a practice round or are on the practice green and driving range. Talked to Christina Kim a little and of course had to mention Dave (cougar2). Everybody knows and appreciates Dave.
During practice rounds, I try to locate the rules people and today I found Janice on the job going about with some of the Korean Officials. Don't know what they were discussing, but I'm sure she's got every thing in ship shape and ready for the start.
I'm taking the day off tomorrow. It's the Pro-Am, and spectators are not really encouraged to attend. Because of the smaller field, when play begins, tee times are a little later than usual, which makes it nice for me because it takes me about two hours to get to the course. I'll be there as early as I can and send back more fan entries starting with Friday's play. I think this is going to be a fun event. It's my fourth trip over here, and I'm always excited and filled with expectations of a very enjoyable experience whenever I come here. On my other trips, the winner has been a Korean, Shi Hyun Ahn, Grace Park, and then Jin Joo Hong. So, maybe that trend will follow again this year. Can't wait to find out.

On your first day, we will provide you with training materials and computer assistance. We provide detailed instructions on office procedures, how to use the Mac computer and how to work on litigation files, especially criminal and probate cases.
When I was in law school, we were only told to memorize substantive law and to repeat the law on tests. Very little was taught on how to practice law, work in an office or handle responsibility. Most young lawyers have difficulty adapting in their first law firm job. We now provide law practice management skills such as using computers in litigation, completing time sheets and interview/investigation techniques.
All participants are given instructions how to handle phone calls, draft letters in response to correspondence and discuss how files are set up. You will use the Macintosh to type, spell check and print form letters to clients informing them of hearings or motions.
Law Clerks read the files and are permitted to handle phone calls out to obtain information needed, such as speaking with police and prosecutors to obtain discovery and police reports.
Many law firms use law clerks as research only and tools. Law Clerks handle day-to-day telephone follow up tasks and chase adversaries and government departments who failed to respond to our Requests for Documents or did not comply with subpoenas.
There are many responsibilities, which each law clerk must assume. They must work as regular employees, appear in professional Court attire and complete assigned work tasks rather than shoot-the-breeze. My own internship experience was not a useful experience because the office I clerked for had no assigned tasks, no specific days to appear and no requirements. By learning through a real work environment, my mentor/internship program prepares students for working with a busy litigation law office.
Participants must stick to days and hours selected and make up missed days. The legal interns must work a minimum of 12 weeks. Longer hours or weeks permitted. Summer internship is minimum 18 hours per week, Summer-4th year students and college graduatesInterested students must mail or fax a cover letter and resume.
This is an excellent opportunity to gain valuable experience as a volunteer intern and learn New Jersey Practice and Procedure. Build your resume and obtain marketable skills. You will handle a client's file and learn details on running a successful law practice. This will not be a brief writing and photocopying clerkship. For additional information on the Law Office, please visit the website at www.njlaws.com. We sponsor a statewide website with information on litigation, personal injury, criminal and probate matters. It is helpful if applicants have some familiarity with HTML programming, web page design and maintenance and Internet technology. If you can update a website, please indicate so in the first paragraph of your cover letter. This office is committed to excellence and service to clients and the community. Applicants must have attention to detail. Additional information on internship at http://www.njlaws.com/intern.htm
Mail or fax cover letter and resume. Do not email.

Our office is now successfully equipped to handle 5 part time law clerks since they work on 6 computers. We select students who are willing to dedicate the time and energy needed. It has been a successful program for my office and we hope to continue this unique program for years to come to benefit the students who need an opportunity to learn and prove themselves. We believe you will be satisfied with our program.
I serve as a mentor and reference on behalf of students who finish the program. We show students how to communicate with clients, set up litigation files, obtain police reports, and the importance of marketing. We remain available after their 12-week internship for references and questions. I have a feeling of satisfaction helping the "non- law review, middle and bottom of the class" unemployed students. Someday, when these students become the Chief Justice, they will remember the lawyer who helped them out in the beginning. This personal mentor/internship program has given me friendship and a feeling of accomplishment. We also bridge the gap between school placement offices and the real world by providing career advice and suggestions.
If any other students are also interested, please have them send us a cover letter and resume immediately.
It is helpful if applicants have some familiarity with adding podcasts to ITunes, or HTML programming, web page design and maintenance and Internet technology. We sponsor a statewide website wit

Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you riding through the ruts, don't complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don't bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality. Wake Up and Live! Bob Marley Moral indignation is jealousy with a halo. The jealous are troublesome to others, but a torment to themselves. As iron is eaten away by rust, so the envious are consumed by their own passion. But I like not these great success of yours; for I know how jealous are the gods. I don't think that you can fake warmth. You can fake lust, jealousy, anger; those are all quite easy. But actual, genuine warmth? I don't think you can fake it. |

Hey! What happened to the thread Wabby started yesterday? Did someone delete it? Did we do something to anger the 3fcgoddesses??
Support Groups - Bovine MOOsingsView Full Version : Bovine MOOsings SugP 01-15-2002, 04:26 AM Hey! What happened to the thread Wabby started yesterday? Did someone delete it? Did we do something to anger the 3fcgoddesses?? viola1 01-15-2002, 12:06 PM Where am I?, where are you?, is this where we are? I felt way out in the pasture yesterday without my other cowsies. Mooooooo. Wabby 01-15-2002, 04:21 PM Hi bovine lovelies, I really have nothing to say, but I'm saying it anyway. My post yesterday must have been so boring the 3fatchicks deleted it. I'm still walking. Still eating waaaay too much. My baby sis and I are going to the Seattle Garden Show next month. We're taking along a couple more gal pals too. We're going to share a room so it should be a real pajama party. Then after the garden show spring will be just around the corner :) !!!!! My doc called me back with my MRI report. She said I do have ms, but it doesn't seem to be affecting me. I knew this. My last MRI was 10 years ago. I get to compare my brain pictures next time I go see my Dr. It's an interesting thing to see what's in yer noggin. Anybody heard from Miss Lush? Kiwonk 01-15-2002, 09:20 PM I think I wrote a message on that one. So it's probably my computer that deleted it. This computer got so bad yesterday that it couldn't be booted up at all, not even enough to get the CD-ROM going to reload Windows. Fortunately DH had a floppy boot disk, so that's what I did last night -- reloaded Windows. DH's aunt keeled over with a heart attack today. She is one of many aunts and uncles, but one we saw frequently. His mother is going to particularly devastated (especially since it happened in the backseat of her car after they had lunch together!) Speaking of lunch, I went to my Meals on Wheels thing today, and they asked me to fill in for someone in the kitchen who had sprained her ankle. So I served mashed potatoes, and wore a hair net!!! :o I looked into joining WW online -- it's really expensive! I'm too cheap to pay someone good money to make me lose weight. Kiwi viola1 01-15-2002, 11:53 PM Hi everybody, It will be so hard for your mother-in-law, but I'm glad you have a close family to help her through. Wabby, you are never boring. Going to the doctor is enough to give anyone the blahs. Drum roll please: (I don't know how much of it was water, bad scale reading, or different clothes, but I'm taking all of it) I went from 194.5 to 189.5!!!!!! Ye Haa! SugP 01-16-2002, 03:19 AM Where I come from anyway. When we were kids, my best friend's mother used to try to get us to wear those little plastic fold-up rain bonnets if it was wet outside. Aaaahhhhhhh! So sorry about DH's aunt, Kiwi. What a shock for mil. Wabby! Remember what a blast you had last year at the garden show? If you see Stevie (and his 16 kids) there, give him a big smoooooch from me. Of course you're too ladylike to do anything like that. Viola! You go girl! Did you get your new scale yet? See? it's not as bad as you thought. Maybe *this* year we'll all get thin. Gotta go be a domestic goddess. :smug: ..· ´¨¨)) -:¦:- ¸.·´ .·´¨¨)) ((¸¸.·´ ..·´ SugarP -:¦:- -:¦:- ((¸¸.·´* Darling_Peaches 01-16-2002, 01:51 PM I've been so long unposting or boring posting that I dont' know what's going on. Fortunatately, you cows haven't missed me. So that's good. I'm now here and worried about Wabby and Lushy and Kiwi's family (sad to hear that sweetie) and wondering if I hang around will Viola inspire me. Will you? I am a glutton. I am bigger than Bazg even. I'd like to hear from Lushy because I know it's science fair time and she'll have stories. Kiwi's school doesn't do science fair. They get named Best Educational System in the Planetverse and do nothing to raise parent's blood pressure. I even suggested to ds that he do his project on what questions and/or answers in everyday conversation will raise parents' blood pressure the mostest. Going now. You don't even remember who I am anyway. You cold hearted cowsies. Bagzz 01-16-2002, 03:41 PM AND SHE'S AS FAT AS ME!!!HAHAHAHAHAHA---WISHES DO COME TRUE!!!!Remember when you weighed 137!!!!!!Those were the days my friend{hum along} la la la la la la ---la la la la la la la--------HEHEHEHHEHHEHEH now I have something to cheer me up----JUST HOW MUCH FATTER ARE YOU??????.........on another topic---I am a fan of flylady's----my house is almost clean----------and dear Kiwi-------your poor Mil--- this is so hard for them---my mil often speaks of how hard it is to see all your friends ,family and contemporaries passing away on a regular basis-----I am sure you guys will be a great comfort to dh's mom--------sorry to be so gleeful,but you know how horrible it was for us all when Peachgutt was dropping all the weight------:eek: Kiwonk 01-16-2002, 07:04 PM Well, I'm glad to see you. I'm sure you won't notice, but we have constantly lamented your absence. No, we don't have science fair projects, except for 6th grade. DD doesn't like them, so we don't have them. I'm sure that's the reason. DD just got her course catalog for those summer courses. Is DS going to do that again? I doubt I will be able to convince her to actually go to a course (an entire 3 weeks, away from her beloved canoe? horrors!), but maybe she'll take an online one again. Congrats on those pounds, Viola! You get credit for them no matter the reason for the loss. Now just keep them off. One of these days I'll make some progress. Probably not today, since I ate a bag of Bugles on the way home from a little shopping expedition. Saturday is DH's birthday and I am giving him about the goofiest present I have ever come up with. I will have to wait until then to tell you about it, just in case. ;) Hi Bagz and Sugar, thanks for the kind words. I did my part today--made a pot of soup to take down to the inlaws. Aren't you pleased, Peaches, at the enjoyment you give Bagz? When are you going to play games at Pogo with me? Later, gators Kiwi Darling_Peaches 01-16-2002, 11:09 PM Bagz is MORE DEMENTED THAN I REMEMBER. My blubbery rubbery belly brings forth la la la las from her. That is sick. Speaking of demented there's a woman in town who inherited a ton of cash and took on the attitude that she is VERY important and different from everyone else. She's probably in her early 60s. (Sugar, one day that will not seem ancient.) She got face lifts. People talk about her face lifts but I never noticed. Yesterday she came in the office and after she talked a while I knew who she was because of the topic .. her pet project. Before that, I thought she was a burn victim! Really! Her mouth and eyes looked like they were cut out of a mask. No expression around them. No flexible skin. Icky. Yes, Kiwi we are sending in the forms very soon ANDDDDDDDDDDD he got notification that he has been selected as page in the state legislature. Bagz, 144. You expected more, didn't you! HA! SugP 01-17-2002, 05:00 AM Geez, Peachy, you must just be busting out of your pop tops! But we are sooooooo glad to hear from you. You are my favourite WLcowsie, you know that! How's the collage? I lost mine under a pile of clutter. Guess what, cowsies? Exercise makes you lose weight. I've stepped onto that instrument of torture 4 times in the last week for between 25 and 30 minutes and my weight is actually going down. Who woulda thought it? Bagzieeeee! You are sooo funny!!!!! Tell us how much you weigh! My parents are in their late 60s, early 70s and have lost just *tons* of their friends in the past few years. It's really getting scary. Face lifts are revolting. They always look fake. Abdominoplasty is the way to go. Who cares what your face looks like if you have a flat belly? Just look at all those music video tarts on tv. Butts as wide as a house, but skinny little waists and no apron gut. When Lush comes back, I need to ask her if the nuns in NJ are like the ones in Bavaria. Bagzz 01-17-2002, 08:06 AM I have been STUGGLING to stay at one hundred and SIXTY pounds!!!!!Imagine----I remember when I was shocked to weight 152 and joined WW's immediately------- just how SICK is this going to get----will I someday be dreaming of coasting along at 250????EVERY time I try to diet lately,I just GAIN------and this crappy wintery,COLD weather makes me so hungrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeee-----Sugar----maybe YOU are the NEW CHERRY!!!!:dizzy: :dizzy: :dizzy: Peachbutt-----144 seems llike alot on you ,as you have a small frame---HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA:devil: viola1 01-17-2002, 10:38 AM Hi Cowsies! Hello Peaches! Everyone is talking science and that is funny because I thought someone on this thread or 40's thread is or is married to a physics teacher. My 9th graders are doing this balance/tight rope walking/center of gravity/ rotational inertia thing and I might have some questions to pass along. I don't think about why things happen, they just do, but I'm glad someone knows why. Why is it that sometimes I eat like crazy, 5 pizza slices, a bag of chips w/cheese sauce, 5 big slices of birthday cake, and other times I can deal with portion control. :?: Peaches, feel free to ignore "advice" but 160 is where I really struggled to maintain and I got discouraged and quit trying, so if you do maintain 160 forever, pat yourself on the back, but please don't give up completely because I'd trade 190 for 160 anyday. No one ever told me how to break a 6 month plateau at 160. Maybe someone else knows the answers. see---more mysteries of life! Darling_Peaches 01-17-2002, 11:43 AM That is SO precious. Viola has confused BattleAxeBagz with small-framed teensy bozo-doll meeeee. I am on the Hollywood diet today. Anyone want to tell me why that's a bad idea? It's 9:30 and I'm doing well on it. Did y'all hear about the priest in the Florida panhandle near me. Arrested for selling methamphetamine and ecstacy. Has an appt on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. Police arrested ppl for selling drugs and learned HE WAS THEIR SUPPLIER! This is shocking even for a priest. viola1 01-17-2002, 12:15 PM I guess I'm confused. That's not unusual. It is probably due to a lack of sugar and fat grams :dizzy: I'm eating a meatball & cheeze lean pocket....these things are good! Darling_Peaches 01-17-2002, 12:29 PM You may confuse me with Bagzoid anytime you want. I am honored. She has changed my life as I now grill meat on a regular basis. Certainly not trying to make you feel bad. Just that she's bigger than me and I'm sweeter. So ... anyone use the Hollywood diet? Will it kill my liver? Will it be water weight. Will I even loose weight? Inquiring minds wanna no. Wabby 01-17-2002, 03:26 PM She'd be able to tell you all about the Hollywood diet, Peaches. She's our Hollywood connection. And who really needs all those internal organs anyway? They just add pounds. I'm so happy to see certain ppl come back to post. It was getting just a little too nice around here. Anyone heard from Lushy? Bagzie, is it FlyLady or the cleaning lady that gets the credit for your clean house? I usually just delete FlyLady's messages, but I think she's crept into my subconscious because I find myself swiping the toilet and cleaning my sink on a regular basis. Now if she'd just come and tell me to quit eating like a piggy. Sugar, how will I recognize Steve? I'd like a description please. Bagzie, I remember going on my first diet when I topped out the scales at 132 lbs. Now that would be my goal weight. :o Sugar, I gotta agree with you about facelifts vs. abdominoplasty. Now, I wouldn't object to just a little nip and tuck around the eyes and under the chin, though. Getting old is so hard on your ego. And why oh why do men look so distinguished with a little gray and a few smile lines around their eyes? I swear the DH just looks better for the extra mileage. No fair. SugP 01-17-2002, 05:02 PM Hmm.......let me see. The last time I saw the guy was 16 years and 30 pounds ago. 6'4", taffy-coloured hair (like Kiwi's but short and curly), blue eyes (I think:dizzy:- can't remember any more, now that I'm old) , big ears, chin dimple, kid hanging off each leg, wife walking two paces behind, mother-in-law in tow. Got that, Wabby? Actually, he said I should send him a picture of ME to refresh his memory. Nothing like a little cyber flirt to liven things up, eh? I know, I'm a tart, but so is he.:smug: Well, since Lush isn't here to tell me about the NJ Catholic nuns, I'll tell you about the ones here. Seems like two of them were teaching a religion class in Bavaria (where, like in the rest of Germany, church and state are not separated) and the kids were coming home every day frightened out of their wits, crying and not wanting to go to school again. Turns out these lovely ladies had been giving the "h*llfire and brimstone" talk and had told them that if they told a lie, the earth would open up right there on the spot and swallow them. Yipes! In addition, they ripped all the sex education pages out of a health and guidance book saying they were "smutty". They got fired. I think they moved to the Florida panhandle. Isn't the Hollywood Diet all grapefruits and salami or something? I used to have a link to the Diet Debunkers site and that diet was on there. It works, but only because the calories are so low. SugP 01-17-2002, 05:08 PM You're right, Wabby, men do look better as they get older. Dh (who is actually a really great guy, even thought he stopped worshiping the ground I walk on about 5 yrs ago) just grew a beard at my suggestion and he looks soooo cute. Ten years younger, I swear (he's 39 now). I, on the other hand, am just getting flabbier and wrinklier. What gives? Wabby 01-17-2002, 07:55 PM that men can cover up all kinds of flaws with facial hair. And that looks soooo unattractive on women - the facial hair, that is. Did I mention the DS is dating the GF again? And things had been going so well. I'm going broke buying books at half.com. I just read "Blackbird" by Jennifer Lauck. It's autobiographical and it's a wonderful, touching, heart wrenching story about this woman's childhood. Geez. I just don't know how some people survive their childhoods. muffie 01-17-2002, 10:59 PM Bagzzzz........you are so funny! Your messages keep me rolling on the floor.

Good News Translation (GNT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 There was a man named Elkanah, from the tribe of Ephraim, who lived in the town of Ramah in the hill country of Ephraim. He was the son of Jeroham and grandson of Elihu, and belonged to the family of Tohu, a part of the clan of Zuph. | 1 There was a certain man from Ramathaim, a Zuphite from the hill country of Ephraim, whose name was Elkanah son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite. |
2 Elkanah had two wives, Hannah and Peninnah. Peninnah had children, but Hannah did not. | 2 He had two wives; one was called Hannah and the other Peninnah. Peninnah had children, but Hannah had none. |
3 Every year Elkanah went from Ramah to worship and offer sacrifices to the Lord Almighty at Shiloh, where Hophni and Phinehas, the two sons of Eli, were priests of the Lord. | 3 Year after year this man went up from his town to worship and sacrifice to the LORD Almighty at Shiloh, where Hophni and Phinehas, the two sons of Eli, were priests of the LORD. |
4 Each time Elkanah offered his sacrifice, he would give one share of the meat to Peninnah and one share to each of her children. | 4 Whenever the day came for Elkanah to sacrifice, he would give portions of the meat to his wife Peninnah and to all her sons and daughters. |
5 And even though he loved Hannah very much he would give her only one share, because the Lord had kept her from having children. | 5 But to Hannah he gave a double portion because he loved her, and the LORD had closed her womb. |
6 Peninnah, her rival, would torment and humiliate her, because the Lord had kept her childless. | 6 And because the LORD had closed her womb, her rival kept provoking her in order to irritate her. |
7 This went on year after year; whenever they went to the house of the Lord, Peninnah would upset Hannah so much that she would cry and refuse to eat anything. | 7 This went on year after year. Whenever Hannah went up to the house of the LORD, her rival provoked her till she wept and would not eat. |
8 Her husband Elkanah would ask her, "Hannah, why are you crying? Why won't you eat? Why are you always so sad? Don't I mean more to you than ten sons?" | 8 Elkanah her husband would say to her, "Hannah, why are you weeping? Why don't you eat? Why are you downhearted? Don't I mean more to you than ten sons?" |
9 One time, after they had finished their meal in the house of the Lord at Shiloh, Hannah got up. She was deeply distressed, and she cried bitterly as she prayed to the Lord. Meanwhile, Eli the priest was sitting in his place by the door. | 9 Once when they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh, Hannah stood up. Now Eli the priest was sitting on a chair by the doorpost of the LORD's temple. |
11 Hannah made a solemn promise: "Lord Almighty, look at me, your servant! See my trouble and remember me! Don't forget me! If you give me a son, I promise that I will dedicate him to you for his whole life and that he will never have his hair cut." | 11 In bitterness of soul Hannah wept much and prayed to the LORD. |
12 Hannah continued to pray to the Lord for a long time, and Eli watched her lips. | 12 And she made a vow, saying, "O LORD Almighty, if you will only look upon your servant's misery and remember me, and not forget your servant but give her a son, then I will give him to the LORD for all the days of his life, and no razor will ever be used on his head." |
13 She was praying silently; her lips were moving, but she made no sound. So Eli thought that she was drunk, | 13 As she kept on praying to the LORD, Eli observed her mouth. |
14 and he said to her, "Stop making a drunken show of yourself! Stop your drinking and sober up!" | 14 Hannah was praying in her heart, and her lips were moving but her voice was not heard. Eli thought she was drunk |
15 "No, I'm not drunk, sir," she answered. "I haven't been drinking! I am desperate, and I have been praying, pouring out my troubles to the Lord. | 15 and said to her, "How long will you keep on getting drunk? Get rid of your wine." |
16 Don't think I am a worthless woman. I have been praying like this because I'm so miserable." | 16 "Not so, my lord," Hannah replied, "I am a woman who is deeply troubled. I have not been drinking wine or beer; I was pouring out my soul to the LORD. |
17 "Go in peace," Eli said, "and may the God of Israel give you what you have asked him for." | 17 Do not take your servant for a wicked woman; I have been praying here out of my great anguish and grief." |
18 "May you always think kindly of me," she replied. Then she went away, ate some food, and was no longer sad. | 18 Eli answered, "Go in peace, and may the God of Israel grant you what you have asked of him." |
19 The next morning Elkanah and his family got up early, and after worshiping the Lord, they went back home to Ramah. Elkanah had intercourse with his wife Hannah, and the Lord answered her prayer. | 19 She said, "May your servant find favor in your eyes." Then she went her way and ate something, and her face was no longer downcast. |
20 So it was that she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, and explained, "I asked the Lord for him." | 20 Early the next morning they arose and worshiped before the LORD and then went back to their home at Ramah. Elkanah lay with Hannah his wife, and the LORD remembered her. |
21 The time came again for Elkanah and his family to go to Shiloh and offer to the Lord the yearly sacrifice and the special sacrifice he had promised. | 21 So in the course of time Hannah conceived and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, saying, "Because I asked the LORD for him." |
22 But this time Hannah did not go. She told her husband, "As soon as the child is weaned, I will take him to the house of the Lord, where he will stay all his life." | 22 When the man Elkanah went up with all his family to offer the annual sacrifice to the LORD and to fulfill his vow, |
23 Elkanah answered, "All right, do whatever you think best; stay at home until you have weaned him. And may the Lord make your promise come true." So Hannah stayed at home and nursed her child. | 23 Hannah did not go. She said to her husband, "After the boy is weaned, I will take him and present him before the LORD, and he will live there always." |
24 After she had weaned him, she took him to Shiloh, taking along a three-year-old bull, a bushel of flour, and a leather bag full of wine. She took Samuel, young as he was, to the house of the Lord at Shiloh. | 24 "Do what seems best to you," Elkanah her husband told her. "Stay here until you have weaned him; only may the LORD make good his word." So the woman stayed at home and nursed her son until she had weaned him. |
25 After they had killed the bull, they took the child to Eli. | 25 After he was weaned, she took the boy with her, young as he was, along with a three-year-old bull, an ephah of flour and a skin of wine, and brought him to the house of the LORD at Shiloh. |
26 Hannah said to him, "Excuse me, sir. Do you remember me? I am the woman you saw standing here, praying to the Lord. | 26 When they had slaughtered the bull, they brought the boy to Eli, |
27 I asked him for this child, and he gave me what I asked for. | 27 and she said to him, "As surely as you live, my lord, I am the woman who stood here beside you praying to the LORD. |
28 So I am dedicating him to the Lord. As long as he lives, he will belong to the Lord." Then they worshiped the Lord there. | 28 I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him. |
28 | 28 So now I give him to the LORD. For his whole life he will be given over to the LORD." And he worshiped the LORD there. |

So i'll ask anyway, can wine, good wine be made from 100% fruit juice sold in the grocery store? Any drawbacks? What should i avoid?
It really depends on what you mean by "good wine". Can you make an apple juice wine that tastes good and is very drinkable? Sure. Will it be like a fine cabernet? Well, no. It won't be a "good wine" if you're looking for a wine made out of wine grapes and comparing a grocery store juice wine to that. I have a couple of juice wine recipes posted. They are pretty good. For the Welch's recipe, I"ve used 100% concord, 100% Niagara, and then some apple/raspberry juices. The apple wine recipe is really enjoyable with chicken or fish.
I've done the whole foods apple wine recipe using red star champagne yeast which was ok a bit dry for me and not so much apple taste. i was wondering if it was possible to make something like a beringers white zinfandel or pink moscato without investing $60/5gal kit
Lots of people make good wine from Welches concord and Niagra, I like to get most of the sugar from the concentrate cans, up to a point you can add more than what is required to make a grape drink, but if you go to far the acids will become high, but since its tartaric it can be cold precipitated out or you can even do a little MLF. We got carried away on our last batch and had to do both and I think its not only good but great. Add a little oak. Now you have a good wine, or even a great wine, its your taste that matters. WVMJ
I've made a cherry/apple/black currant wine with grocery store juices. It turned out to be one of the best wines I've ever made, VERY TASTY! And it only took a year of bulk aging to get good. Regards, GF.
Motto: quel che sara sara
I found this a while back. Worth a read. I made the wine to have something to drink while I was waiting for a kit to age. It was not bad considering the cost. It probably would have gotten a bit better with age.http://www.washingtonwinemaker.com/b...risingly-good/

(John Leyba/Getty Images)After not coaching the team the last four weeks as he recovered from heart valve replacement surgery, John Fox will resume head coaching duties of the Broncos for their home game against the Titans on Sunday.But where he'll coach from is still undetermined.Fox's doctors will advise him whether he should coach from upstairs at Mile High Stadium, according to Mike Klis of The Denver Post. If he goes that route, his headset will have direct communication with his three coordinators — Adam Gase (offense), Jack Del Rio (defense) and Jeff Rodgers (special teams) — who always work from the sidelines.BURKE: Next year's Falcons-Lions game in London will start at 9:30 a.m. ETThe only question would be who would throw the challenge flag."I don't think it is a tremendous effect one way or another," Fox said. "I communicate with the same people. I spent half of my career in the press box [as assistant coach and defensive coordinator] and another half on the field."Fox was a defensive coordinator for the L.A. Rams (1994-95) and the Giants (1997-2001) before taking over as head coach of the Panthers in 2002.Even if Fox works from the coaches' box, he'll likely return to the sideline for Denver's Thursday night game at home against the Chargers on Dec. 12.

Thought I would give the update on some projects we are working on. First off, this is the table I found at an antique fair for $29!!! Sweet. It is at the top of my stairs. Fits perfectly.
We also finally hung up Ethan and Grant's magnet board. We need to get some molding to make a frame to finish this one off.This is the dining room. We painted it gray and the ceiling inset a darker shade. I have ordered a stencil, so will keep you posted on that project. We love the gray though. Very sophisticated.

Too many new web designers charge to little because they are not comfortable at the higher price points and it drives the prices down for all.$5000 is what most companies spent on ONE full page magazine ad a few years ago. And that was just for placement.
Go bold folks. Up your prices and don't let clients bully you into giving your work away.
+999 Amen brother!
I field 3 or 4 requests everyday for people wanting a 'starter website' for 500 bucks or so. I kindly explain to them no such animal exists. I then explain to them how I don't know how to dumb down my design and marketing strategies to make them worth less. Then I go into how web design is a skilled trade and would they expect to pay their skilled car mechanic 15.00/hr like they are suggesting I work for? Then I remind them how much they used to pay for a color ad in the Yellow Pages 20 years ago (at least 600/yr. to reach a local market). Then I explain how a website design/code is like a house and the content or pages is like the furniture in the house. I explain how I don't care if they have 5 pages or 20, their 'starter website' is still a house that needs built and the fact they only have 1 bed and 1 couch to move doesn't affect my price to build the house whatsoever. If they're looking for a shack, please go down the road where some 18 year old will build you a half finished website over the course of the next 6 months for his 500 bucks.
Of course I say it all much nicer
p.s. if you land more than 40 percent of the jobs you bid, you're probably bidding too low
Dear , i think the rate depends on market.you are living in a area where 500 has no worth but for some body 500 is a good amount like me.we are never able to find a client of 2000 and above.dear if you have a client of 500 please refer to me. i shall be very grateful to you for a template based design.
thanks tema for your comments.
your design is good in appearance,but i felt a little condenced means lack of spacing between items.in subheading line height is bigger than heading's line height.overall excellent for site templates and psd also.
as i am a beginner so i can't give axact .
i need more critical analysis please review it.

Stephen Strasburg hit a career milestone last night against the San Diego Padres. For the first time in his career, he pitched into the 8th inning. One of the best things about this start is that Strasburg was allowed to throw 117 pitches. This was just shy of his career high pitch count, in June of last season he threw 119 pitches in six-innings against the Reds. And over his 4-year career Strasburg has only made it to the 7th inning 10 times. For a Nationals fan and someone that truly wants to see Strasburg do well I love seeing that his limitations have been lifted. This outing will be, in my mind, a great step forward in his young career. Over the last few outings prior to this one, Strasburg has not shown the best mental state on the mound. But being allowed to pitch deep into the game shows that the Washington Nationals still have supreme confidence in their ace. So what's next for Strasburg: complete game?

'He was not appointed to any public service or post, so Administrative Tribunals Act is not applicable to him'
The high-power committee and the high-level team the Union government appointed to look into the Antrix-Devas deal have found that there have been serious administrative and procedural lapses on the part of G. Madhavan Nair, former Chairman of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). This was disclosed in a statement the Central government filed before the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT).
Radha Jaisimha, Under-Secretary in the Department of Space, refuted Mr. Nair's allegation that the two committees had violated the principle of natural justice. They had given their opinions after hearing Mr. Nair, said the statement, which was filed in response to an application by Mr. Nair challenging the Centre's decision to bar him from holding any government job. He had also questioned the Centre's order, terminating his appointment as the Vikram Sarabhai Distinguished Professor.
The statement said Mr. Nair was not appointed to any public service or post, nor was he a Central government employee, so the Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985, was not applicable to him. Therefore, he could not seek adjudication in the tribunal of any issue whatsoever relating to his engagement as the Vikram Sarabhai Professor. Mr. Nair retired, on superannuation, from government service on October 2009 and was posted professor under the Visiting Professor Scheme of the Department of Science. He could not claim that he should get an opportunity, as available to a government servant, of being heard before the termination of any assignment given to him after retirement.
Mr. Nair had suppressed the fact of his representation to the Prime Minister which was under consideration, the statement said, and he had done it consciously with the intention of misleading the tribunal.
The Centre decided to look into the irregularities after certain terms of the agreement were found not to be transparent. It was the Antrix/ISRO's investment of about Rs. 800 crore in two satellites, along with other unusual concessions, which had raised the suspicion. Besides, the ISRO had given large funds for an unproven technology, involving players who had very little financial stake. The commitment to build a second satellite, and the expenditure on it, were without any financial authorisation from the Cabinet, the statement said.
Lack of transparency
The entry of foreign telecom companies with huge premiums revealed that they had used the agreement as an opportunity for entering the Indian market. There was lack of transparency in the signing of the agreement with Devas: it was not mentioned in the note submitted to the Space Commission, the statement said.

I love fish. I have 3 tanks now, biggest is a 125 acrylic corner pentagon. I have an Oscar, spotted red severum, 5 clown loaches, 3 blue botia loaches, two big ass poop monster plecos, 4 silver dollars(piranha types), 4 black skirt tetras, a mean and now solitary synodontis eupterus USD catfish who is sweet but just can't help but eat all of her friends. There are a few other little guys like hybrid fry from guppies and balloon molly's that have lived, a pair of real guppies and one last shrimp that is still evading my Oscar like a ninja. Oh and a little corydora catfish with the other little guys by themselves.
Last but not least, the fish that started it all: 3 goldfish that are the toughest fish I have ever owned. Won them tiny for my kids at the county fair. My biggest comet (chuck Norris, the one who can survive being dry on the carpet for hours overnight and live no problem) is 5" and 4 years old. Not the biggest fish, but the toughest from what I've seen. |

This steel truss pedestrian bridge is 10' wide x 108' long and is located in Koloa on the South Shore of Kauai. The bridge was first fabricated from self weathering steel, and then coated with a urethane enamel series paint. This combination provides longevity despite its proximity to the ocean's highly corrosive salty air. The bridge included provisions for a concrete deck, and includes IPE, a Brazilian Hardwood, for long lasting aesthetics. The bridge was built as one standing structure, then divided into six modular pieces. This enabled it to be shipped in a Matson cargo container from California to Hawaii.

Meanwhile, middle linebacker Casey Matthews had 67 tackles, and got a little weary of hearing from Paysinger and Ward about their numbers over the offseason, in light of the fact that he didn't become a starter until the seventh game and argued that he had the most tackles per play.
In true sporting tradition, Paysinger and Matthews resolved to settle the matter with a wager:
Whoever records the most tackles this season gets taken out to dinner by the other one. "I'm going to go to whatever's the most expensive restaurant he'll pay for," Matthews said. "Maybe Electric Station. …"
But there's this caveat: If they each record 100 tackles, they pay for each other's meal.
"We haven't had two linebackers get over 100 tackles for a number of years, so that would be a milestone for this program," Paysinger said.
To be precise, not since 2002, when David Moretti had 121 tackles and Kevin Mitchell had 114. Oregon's 3-M linebacker corps of Wesly Mallard, Mitchell and Moretti went 2-4-8 in the Pac-10 in tackles in 2001.
Linebackers coach Don Pellum remembers that among the best groups in his tenure, along with Jeremy Asher and Rich Ruhl, and Matt Smith and Peter Sirmon, and Kwame Agyeman and A.J. Tuitele.
How do Matthews and Paysinger compare? "That's hard," Pellum said. "I think all those combinations, through the years, have been really good. I think this year, with Casey and with Pays, and with Eddie Pleasant on the outside, we have a group that can accomplish what Moretti, Mitchell and Mallard did. …
"I think these guys have the ability to do that, because you've got the speed on the outside, and the smarts on the inside." Click here for the complete story.
