Toronto FC\'s 1st Game
On behalf of the Usector, Red Patch Boys and all Supporters of Toronto FC, We the undersigned are requesting that the club and Major League Soccer explore all possible avenues to re-schedule the inaugural Toronto FC match, currently scheduled for April 7, 2007 at the Home Depot Center in Carson California. Being part of the inaugural Toronto FC match is something that is very important to the supporters of the club as we see it as a once in a lifetime opportunity. With the location of this match being the furthest possible away game location in the league, we are being denied the opportunity to attend this very important event. We are requesting that the league re-schedule the inaugural Toronto FC match to one of the 3 cities (Chicago, Columbus, New York City) that are realistic travel options for the fans, so that we can be a part of our teams first ever game. Sincerely, The Toronto FC Fans

I also recommend the PREGNANCY MIRACLE GUIDE for information on pregnancy and periods!
Yes you can get pregnant during your period, but your chances of getting pregnant during your period are slim. The best time for a woman to get pregnant is around the middle of her cycle, close to ovulation. For the average woman this is around cycle day 12 to 16. However, it is possible to get pregnant during your period and there are several reasons why. Sperm can live for up to 5 days Normally sperm can survive inside a woman's body for around two to three days. However, under the best conditions, sperm can sometimes survive for as long as five days. So if a woman had unprotected sex during her period and then ovulated four or five days after she had sex, she could get pregnant.
Typically a woman ovulates around 14 days before the start of her period. So if you have an average 28 day cycle, you would most likely ovulate on cycle day 14. A woman's cycle, though, is not always predictable. Even women who normally have regular cycles can have an off cycle and ovulate earlier or later than normal. If you ovulate very early in your cycle, for example, on cycle day 10, it would be possible to conceive if you had intercourse while on your period.
Some women have very long periods or irregular bleeding after their period. If a woman had a long period, say it lasted for 10 days, and she had unprotected sex while she was still bleeding, she might get pregnant. Even though a woman is bleeding or spotting, it doesn't mean she is not fertile. It is possible for a woman approaching ovulation to still be on her period. In fact, some women will begin producing fertile cervical mucous during the last few days of their periods. If a woman ovulates shortly after her period ends or while she is spotting, she could get pregnant.
Ovulation spotting is bleeding that occurs close to ovulation. It is very fertile cervical fluid and it is sometimes mistake for a long or abnormal period. Some women will have brown or red spotting right before they ovulate. This type of spotting provides the ideal environment for sperm to live in. If a woman has sex while she is having ovulation spotting, there is a good chance she could get pregnant.

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
In this brief movie, I want to take a look at how we can align layers. In the previous movie, we explored how we could select multiple layers and then move those. Well, here let's take a look at how we can do that with this file. If I click on that layer number one, then hold down the Shift key and click on my topmost layer, I can select all of these layers here. Next, I can hover over the image with my Move tool and then simply click and drag. Well, here you can see I have all of these layers, each of them are kind of a film strip of different photographs.
Well, I want to align these layers all together. The way that we can do that is first select the layers which we want to align and then we can use these options up here in the Options bar. We can either choose to align them to their center point-- this would then cause them all to be overlapped--or we could choose to align them this way. In this sense, it would align all of their horizontal centers, and by choosing that, you can now see that all of these pictures are aligned. As I moved this around, I can't quite get it in the right spot.
Well, if you can't get it in the right spot with your mouse, you can always use your arrow keys just to nudge these around, and you can use this technique whether you have one or more layers selected. Those arrow keys will allow you to just get that in exactly the right spot of where you want it. And so here, you can see it's really easy to align multiple layers together. Again, it's all about making a selection and then using these Align icons which we have up here in our Options bar.

Your favorite crazy Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, today: "[Pelosi] is committed to her global warming fanaticism to the point where she has said that she's just trying to save the planet. We all know that someone did that over 2,000 years ago, they saved the planet — we didn't need Nancy Pelosi to do that." Al Gore saved the planet 2,000 years ago, too? Well he obviously didn't do a very good job then; why should we trust him now? Oh and Michele Bachmann, she's nuts, just completely gone. [OneNewsNow via TPM Election Central]

american mutt I don't know. She looks a bit like a jfmilf in that photo.
SayItWithWookies "We all know that someone did that over 2,000 years ago, they saved the planet — we didn't need Nancy Pelosi to do that."
Yes, and thank you Julius Caesar — if it hadn't been for you, we'd all be speaking Pictish. -
AngryBlakGuy …"they saved the planet", who the hell is "they"?! Does this mean we can have more than one X-mas? And if so may I suggest we name them "Y-mas" and "Z-mas"!
AngryBlakGuy …oh my god, is Nancy Pelosi Captain Planet?!
Dave J. I'll use that logic the next time some Republican tells me we need to defeat Al Qaeda to save the planet.
"Sorry, Jesus did that already—2,000 years ago!"
larz "What would Nancy do?" doesn't have have the same ring…
queeraselvis v 2.0 "Oh the loons. The loons!"
What? You mean Katherine Hepburn wasn't talking about Bachmann?
american mutt [re=58015]Dave J.[/re]: Mukasey: "Sorry, Jesus violated that law—2,000 years ago!"
RuperttheBear Meh. I'm sick of Christians and their farcical semitic sky god.
V572625694 Roses are red,
Violets are bluish;
If it weren't for Jeebus
We'd all be Jewish. -
tunamelt [re=58012]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: It was Jesus and all the rest of the SuperFriends.
shortsshortsshorts Man Nancy's getting a lot of shit today. I was chilling over on Malkin's blog (because I love her so much) and they were slaughtering her left and right.
Larry McAwful Since the planet's already been saved, we don't need to do any maintenance? Who knew?
Somewhere I had the notion that Jesus was just saving souls, not the environment. What Bible is Rep. Bachmann using?
Urbanachiever McCain, I give thee the ultimate VP candidate………
RuperttheBear [re=58027]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: NO! BAD DOG! NO BISCUIT!
Borat she's really cute in a vampiress kind of way. but the fact she's 2000 years old is pretty scary, and i think that's even older than mccain
shortsshortsshorts [re=58035]RuperttheBear[/re]: HA! Don't worry KevoTron managed to get a UN, and we trolled the SHIT out of it. I wish I could do the same to Bachman.
Monsieur Grumpe It's just another cry for attention.
Political Addict If Jesus' father didn't want us to burn petroleum, why did he put it in the ground 6,000 years ago?
Scooter If you took Michelle Bachmann, pushed her into a limo with Tina Turner and then shifted that effer into Overdrive, well then you'd be Takin' Care of Business!!
Mr. Herpes Somebody should remind Church Lady that the Big Guy who saved the planet 2,000 years ago also drowned every man, woman and child on the planet just a few centuries before that, except for Noah and his daddy-lovin' daughters. And two of every animal. All according to the Good Book, of course. Hey, what's PETA doing about God, by the way? He must be right at the top of their Shit List.
masterofzen Doctors are committed to their medical fanaticism to the point where they have said that they're just trying to heal the sick. We all know that someone did that over 2,000 years ago, they healed the sick — we didn't need doctors to do that.
Hey, that's actually what Christian Scientists believe, I think!
KevoTron Yes, I must admit… I've been wanting to troll that site for MONTHS. I tried to be civil yesterday but reasoning with those idiots is like…. well… it's just fucking horrible. Please go read the threads about Pelosi needing to bring the House back in session and the Rick Warren post. Comic gems.
Of course there was the standard Big Sale on Truck Nutz post that ought to keep them wondering. Or buying Truck Nutz.
Political Addict Deuteronomy 32:13 (King James Version)
13He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;
—does that mean we should pulverize all that oil shale in the West?
Truculent This is really mean and uncalled-for, but the wrong Bachmann got sliced over in Beijing.
RuperttheBear [re=58041]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: Ok. You may have biscuit.
JeffGoldblum So, if I'm s'posin' this rightly, the Jews are responsible for global warming? I'm confused.
Gopherit v2.0 Where's goddamn Rapture when you really need one?
The Station Manager Oh shit, I was just talking about the "Bring-Jebus-Up-Whenever-Possible" phenomenon! Mentioned in said conversation was "That looks like a good book. You know what else is a good book? THE GOOD BOOK."
LittlePig [re=58060]Political Addict[/re]: I bet ol' Michelle has sucked some honey out of a few hard rocks in her day.
angryhippopotamus "over 2,000 years ago" not to be picky but didn't he die in 33ad? just askin'.
Not_So_Much With those eyes, she'd look way more sane if she were brandishing a hatchet.
You can by looking at her that she believes that HE speaks through her! It's through her ass, but still…
Hooray For Anything I must have missed the part in the Bible about Jesus saving polar bears from melting snow caps.
pdiddycornchips If Michelle really studied the bible instead of just watched evangelical preachers on TV, she'd soon realize what a uppity twit he can be sometimes. Genesis 22:1-18. Abraham brings his only son, Isaac to some far off mountain god directs him to. God says, "kill him!" Abraham grabs a knife, god says "ha!!! Just kidding you stupid jew bastard." What kind of deity does that shit?
hockeymom OK, so I was invited to some sort of big shindig at the Republican convention which I was planning on turning down, but I am strongly reconsidering based on the chance that I can get a picture of myself with the lovely Ms. Bachmann. THAT alone would probably be worth the pain of the event.
SwanSwanH When will Rep. Bachmann be rending her garments?
Not_So_Much [re=58106]hockeymom[/re]: Be sure to ram your tongue down her throat — cuz that's how she rolls…
weirdiowasculpture OH! She was talking about Jeebus! I though she was talking about McCain! Thanks for 'splainin'
randomsausage I think Republicans like Bachmann have a right old laugh at the shit the fundies are prepared to believe….and say stuff like this as a sort of inside joke. Bachmann's probably on the phone with McCain now…."you wouldn't believe the crap I came out with today, and the yokels fuckin' loved it."
Kingbee [re=58042]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: Michelle needs to hold that sign a little lower.
WhatTheHeck [re=58090]Not_So_Much[/re]:
Right on two counts.1. Plucking her eyebrows that much eventually damages her frontal lobes.
2. God once spoke to some guy or the other, through his ass. It's there in the leather-bound book.
So it's quite possible Bachmann's been hearing voices. -
madirishman [re=58021]RuperttheBear[/re]: And I'm sick of athiestic trolls like you setting yourselves up as god.
[re=58104]pdiddycornchips[/re]: The same Deity who said, "…because you acted as you did in not withholding from Me your beloved son, I will bless you abundantly and make your descendants as countless as the stars of the sky and the sands of the seashore…" (Genesis 22:15) One of those descendants happens to be…you! I think Abraham came out ahead on that deal. Read the whole Bible, not just the stuff you want to make fun of.
Is Bachmann looney tunes? Hell, yeah. But don't tar all Christians with the same brush.
hockeymom [re=58124]Not_So_Much[/re]:
No thank you. -
Not_So_Much [re=58134]hockeymom[/re]: I understand — even with a gallon of chloroseptic, I wouldn't be able to do it myself.
But, it would make an awesome picture!!
Hominidx ESKIMO.
Upthruster "We all know that someone did that over 2,000 years ago, they saved the planet"
Political_Muse Words cannot describe how proud I am that this woman represents me! Ok, some words can describe it and in no particular order they are: F*ck, the, & What.
grevillea [re=58133]madirishman[/re]: Yes, it's very important to obey the voices in your head telling you to murder people. I mean, sure, it may not be God this time, but best to be on the safe side…
jimh Jeebus saved our souls, the Earth is on it's own.
Political_Muse We here in the 6th District of Minnesota are more than willing to make a trade for another representative. Now, I understand that ours shows considerable damage but to sweeten the deal we can throw in a couple first round draft picks. Any takers? PLEASE!
Political_Muse On the plus side, she does like to drill!
Accordion-o-rama [re=58133]madirishman[/re]: No. All "Christians" believe in a "god" that exists and acts
in the world in ways manifestly at odds with modern principles of logic and evidence.
Such laws and evidence have improved markedly in recent centuries, and anyone still clinging
to this irrational view today is indeed loony. Bachman is more comical and
potentially dangerous than many Christians, but not fundamentally any loonier. Cheer
up though. You wouldn't have been thought loony 200 years ago. Perhaps if you pray hard,
God will make you a time machine.BTW: If you claim the word "Christian" for any of a long list of untestable metaphysical
assertions, (e.g. "God is Love", "The Fundamental Mover") you're simply not using the term accurately. See instead the new age movement, Spinoza, Deism, etc. -
KTHXBAI Every time I see good ol' Pearl Necklace Bachman I think of Gladys Leeman from Drop Dead Gorgeous. You know the batshit one who wore her wife apron and mom hat and accidentally killed her daughter on the giant swan made in Mexico.
The Incomparable Tiny Valdez Whenever I see a woman standing in front of an oil well holding a sign reading "drill here, drill now" I just assume she's a prostitute. Wouldn't you?
Political_Muse [re=58217]The Incomparable Tiny Valdez[/re]: In that case, you would think that David Vitter and Eliot Spitzer would be all over this "drill here, drill now" campaign.
Well, at least it is American energy she wants to tap and not foreign energy.
AnnieGetYourFun [tries to decide if this Bachman lady should be added to her list of RILFs… cannot decide… goes back to drinking]
madirishman [re=58196]grevillea[/re] and [re=58210]Accordion-o-rama[/re]: Pascal's Wager, kids. Belief in God is the smart bet. If I believe in God, and if God exists, when I die and stand before God, I gain eternal life. If you DON'T believe in God, and if God exists, when you die…well, good luck with that.
Beyond that, your level of intolerance is amazing. You have a constitutional right to your non-belief. I have a constitutional right to my belief. RuperttheBear made a sweeping generalization about Christians. I wrote in opposition to that generalization. Why jump all over me?
The "modern principles of logic and evidence" that you refer to were invented by man to explain the world around us. You assert that religion was also invented by mAn. If both those statements are true, then how can one (logic or religion)be more valid than the other? Logic and evidence cannot prove the existence of love, loyalty, friendship, mercy, forgiveness, charity, patience, etc., and yet we all believe in these things.
Logic and evidence can only prove the existence of finite things that can be measured. Since God is an infinite value, He cannot be measured, and His existence can neither be proved or disproved. That's why it's called BELIEF. "There are more things in heaven and earth, than are dreamt of in your philosophy."
SayItWithWookies [re=58257]madirishman[/re]: Pascal's Wager — really?! Ah yes, I remember in Romans, where Saul of Tarsus says you'll be saved by faith, not works. And if you can't muster faith, then play the odds. It's transcendent, really.
WonkaBee Oh God said to Abraham, "Kill me a son"
Abe says, "Man, you must be puttin' me on"
God say, "No." Abe say, "What?"
God say, "You can do what you want Abe, but
The next time you see me comin' you better run"
Well Abe says, "Where do you want this killin' done?"
God says, "Out on Highway 61."Dylan was great….
WonkaBee Well, there's a lot of revoltin' stuff in the Bible…
Psa 137:8 O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy [shall he be], that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.
Psa 137:9 Happy [shall he be], that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.C'mon, Get Happy!!
Rev. Juan MessyCan [re=58257]madirishman[/re]: Lighten up. That's not the worst a Christian can face (see Christian Martyrs, et al). A little guff is nothing. McCain remembers when Xians had to face lions, of just a pyre. And, I think I remember some doctrine that says you should embrace suffering your lot in this world and be good, you'll get yours up in heaven. (Cuz of course *we*'re all good enough.)
And the problem with proving "love, loyalty, friendship, mercy, forgiveness, charity, patience, etc." is that instead of anthropomorphizing those concepts, we should understand them as the response to our conditioning and environments.
Salve, salve Sophia.
WonkaBee Then there's this New Testament gem:
Rom 12:20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
Which was Paul's rehash of something from Proverbs:
Pro 25:21 If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:
Pro 25:22 For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall reward thee.That's all the Bible lessons from me for tonight! :-)
Oscar Folsom Cleveland Please sign my petition to recruit Michele Bachmann as Hopey's Veep:
http://dumpbachmann.blogspot.com/ -
sati demise [re=58286]WonkaBee[/re]: And then some religious wonk will come out and say the heaping of coals is an orientalism,
that it means something like he would get to sleep in the best place by the fire, blah, blah, blah.
They have a story for every story.
Layers of stories. Myth upon myth. psychedelic. -
regisgoat [re=58257]madirishman[/re]: OK, I'll bite, even though I know I shouldn't. Pascal's wager isn't about some transcendent cosmic muffin of love that loves us all (even the incredibly unlovable W.). Pascal was a French Catholic of the 1500s (I believe, could have been 1600s, but same difference). His wager makes no sense unless you consider life after death as a situation of standing in the presence of an angry Catholic God who'll sentence you to Hell for not believing in him. Pascal's Wager says you believe or you burn, so its better to believe.
Here's Regisgoat's wager: I conduct my life as if there is no God–it's been working for me for the past 40 years. I die, and there is a God, and he says "I am the Personification of Unlimited Love, and you shall spend eternity with me." I go, "sure, why not."
Or else I die, and that's that. I win either way.
I'd love to have lived long enough to see humanity take credit for their capacity to love and endure, just like they take credit for their weaknesses, instead of blaming the latter on themselves, and saying that the former was the result of an invisible sky god. But that's not going to happen. -

This is a great palce to get a coney. It is a hole in the walls but they have low turn over and the food is good. The place could be remodeled
Great little place to eat . I love the gyro but I also enjoy the Coney dog . The burgers are also real good . If your in the area this is a great place to feed the family for not a lot of money . The staff are all real friendly and it has a nice small town feel... More
For a dozen plus years I've eaten that super great Gyro's and the Greek Med. salad with Gyro meat piled on top. The lemon rice soup is very good too.
This place has some of the best food for the money. The employees are very polite. I've been their numerous times and will continue to revisit. Must visit!
This is the only place where you can order a 2 egg omelette made perfect. They have fresh salads. Every Friday I get my breakfast from them & never late geeting to work because I had to wait for my order. They greet you with a smile & the customers are just as pleasant.
I eat at New York Coney every week and I like their food and their friendly staff. I am always given a pleasent greeting when I come in the door. Keep up the good work guys.
I'm there almost every day, never have problem, friendly people, fast service, excellent food. (mzfit) that was not nice of you, them people are so clean.
I have been eating at this resturant for the past ten years. The food is very good, prices reasonable and the resturant is clean. The employees provide excellent customer service and follow all health dejpartment rules. This resturant has been written about is local media as a very clean and good place to eat.
Pretty average place, average food and average look. Prices are average for Coney Island... Nothing really unique about it. Good to go if you're hungry and you want food fast- in and out.

Sharing Our Stories: Re-visioning Our WorldsReading, Writing, and Taking Action
July 9-11, 2015 • Atlanta, Georgia
The 26th Literacies for All Summer Institute celebrates the 25th anniversary of the first WLU conference in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1990. The conference theme, "Sharing Our Stories, Re-visioning Our Worlds," invites us to share stories of wonder and frustration as we explore language and literacy learning and teaching. We will reflect on whole language as a part of the historic tapestry of progressive education, democratic schools, and critical literacy. Our work builds upon the foundation put into place by our mentors and leaders, but the creative work of teachers involves constantly re-visioning the potential of holistic learning communities, informed by the most current research and thinking on language education. This conference invites educators to come together and explore issues through conversation and social action.
We invite proposals focusing on the potential of literacy learning and teaching within holistic classrooms in the 21st century.

I'm not sure how this is suppose to be..
In reviewing these cases there are a lot of times when they are guilty of things other than what they have been reported for, and even then it is subject to how everyone else is being...
I'm having a hard time giving them a P or P when the guy is a ****, but technically he wasn't feeding on purpose because his team was allowing him to die while saying they will report him... or AFKing when he technically was there and being harassed by his team for not building a certain way... While he is guilty of being a flaming ******bag... that wasn't what he was reported for... =/... what do? |
I find a lot of people are lazy, and just click report then randomly click on a reason. I wish they put more effort into reporting because it makes me very inclined to simply pardon them.

5 Stocks Ready for Rising Data Demand
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Wall Street curmudgeons always offer that "even a broken clock is right two times a day." While the intent is to poke fun at investors who have not performed sound due diligence, the remark does very little to discredit the rewards earned on the trade.
It only takes being right once to become a millionaire investor. Ultimately, being in the right place and at the right time is what counts.
As my research continues to suggest, it is the right time to be in networking giant Cisco (CSCO - Get Report), I am also growing more enamored with names such as AT&T (T - Get Report) and Verizon (VZ - Get Report) as their data networks will soon become in higher demand.
Follow TheStreet on Twitter and become a fan on Facebook. The charts below are the results of a study sponsored by Cisco showing that global mobile data grew by 133% during 2011 -- the fourth year that traffic more than doubled. Even more noteworthy were some of the statistics that went along with the study. To list just a few: monthly global mobile data traffic will surpass 10 exabytes in 2016; smartphone handsets will exceed 50% of mobile data traffic in 2014; the average mobile connection speed will probably surpass 1 megabyte per second in 2014. So with this understanding, the obvious question is, how can investors capitalize on it? The charts above offer a blueprint to some significant growth opportunities. Remarkably it seems Wall Street has yet to realize this, otherwise companies such as Cisco, Verizon or AT&T would be trading at significantly higher valuations. Rivals of these companies should also benefit. These include names such as Hewlett-Packard (HPQ): Although it has languished of late, the company remains a dominant force within this space. Not only its PC and printing businesses, but its network equipment business is good enough to rival both Cisco and Juniper (JNPR).Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Insurance Broker Sues AIG Over Business Practices
LOS ANGELES (AP) ¿ A California insurance broker is suing American International Group, accusing the nation's largest insurance and financial corporation of engaging in unfair business practices.
Insurance broker Linda Harris, president of the Independent Financial Planning Group, filed the lawsuit Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court.
The lawsuit accuses AIG of using funds from its California insurance companies to support its financial services business and telling brokers and policy holders that the insurance business is insulated from its losses in the financial derivatives market.
Harris' attorney says such practices put policyholders at risk of losing their savings. Harris and her company bought and sold more than $15 million of AIG life insurance.
AIG has received $182.5 billion in financial support from the government since September. AIG was devastated not by its traditional insurance operations, but by its financial products business, which underwrote risky credit derivatives contracts known as credit default swaps. The swaps are essentially insurance contracts protecting an investor against default on an underlying investment, such as mortgage-backed securities. A message left Thursday with an AIG spokeswoman wasn't immediately returned.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Qualifying rained out; Larson will start from pole at Richmond
Strong thunderstorms washed out Fridays Sprint Cup Series knockout qualifying session at Richmond International Raceway, which put rookie Kyle Larson on the pole for Saturday nights Toyota Owners 400.
With no qualifying, the lineup was set by speeds from Fridays first Cup series practice session. Larson was fastest in the practice session, followed by Brad Keselowski, Clint Bowyer, Kasey Kahne and Kevin Harvick.
We were debating before practice on whether to start off in qualifying or race trim. I was pretty confident we would be fast, Larson said. Its nice to start off on the pole.
Not sure Ill count this as my first official pole, but its great to start on the front row.
Michael McDowell and Dave Blaney failed to make the 43-car field.
Larsons previous best start in the Cup series was eighth earlier this season at Phoenix International Raceway.
Petty returns to track: Seven-time Cup champion Richard Petty is back at the race track this weekend for the first time since the March 25 death of his wife, Lynda.
I just felt like I needed to sort of have a little time on our own so I have been gone for two or three weeks but I am back in the saddle again now, Petty said Friday at Richmond.
Pettys typically busy schedule returned to some normalcy this week, with appearances on Monday in Georgia, Tuesday in Tennessee and Wednesday in Wyoming. The busier they keep me, the better off I will be, he said.
Bowling wins Short Track Showdown: Matt Bowling won the seventh edition of the Denny Hamlin Short Track Showdown charity race Thursday night at South Boston (Va.) Speedway.
Proceeds from the race benefit the Denny Hamlin Foundation, which supports research for cystic fibrosis.
Kyle Busch, Matt Kenseth, Hamlin and David Ragan the four Cup series drivers in the race finished fourth, fifth, eighth and 20th, respectively.
Wallace Jr. adds Nationwide race: Truck series regular Darrell Wallace Jr. will make his first Nationwide Series start of the season next weekend at Talladega, Ala., driving the No. 20 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing.
In his previous four series starts, Wallace has one pole and three top-10 finishes. His worst start was 12th.
Three things to watch
1. Kevin Harvick has won three races at Richmond including two of the past five and has finished in the top 10 in 16 of his 26 starts.
2. Carl Edwards is the most recent race winner at Richmond and has finished in the top 10 in seven of his past eight races at the track.
3. Marcos Ambrose and AJ Allmendinger will each make their 200th career Cup series start Saturday night.
• For years now, Joe Gibbs Racing one of the top organizations in NASCAR has debated adding a fourth Cup team to its operation. So far, JGR has yet to find a viable way to make four cars work. So, why are we surprised when Swan Racing a virtual startup organization with nowhere near the financial resources of a top-level Cup team failed after deciding to move from a one-car to two-car operation entering the 2014 season. The move was not dictated by success the organization was nowhere near Victory Lane in 2013. Someone may claim it was dictated out of necessity, since bigger is better when it comes to NASCAR organizations. But that is only true when expansion comes with careful planning and proper funding. Swan Racing appeared to have neither.
• Hint to fans and media: Clint Bowyer is never going to admit he did anything wrong in last years fall race at Richmond. On Friday he came as close as he ever will, simply stating the incident was a bad deal. Why would anyone expect Bowyer to admit he spun out on purpose to cause a late-race caution when even NASCAR itself has never pinned the blame on him? Michael Waltrip Racing and Martin Truex Jr. paid a heavy price for the cheating scandal last fall, but Bowyer escaped direct blame. He certainly isnt going to volunteer to shoulder it all now.
Best bets
Three picks for your fantasy racing team: Denny Hamlin, Carl Edwards, Kevin Harvick

Ambiguous question? (264 comments)
Doesn't change my answer (30-60), but by omitting the term "devices" in the poll tells me there are two legitimate ways to answer this:
I have a dual monitor setup, both are 20" widescreen display devices. 20 + 20 is obviously 40, but diagonally across the entire display is only 36".
I honestly haven't done the math here, but I suspect certain combinations of displays could in fact cause a discrepancy wide enough to (for example) answer 30-60" if measured the first way, but 15-30" in the other.

Sorry, but every comment I've read in this thread makes me think of that song (admittedly, I have only read a few)...
Re:tough shit (197 comments)
Okay, I'll bite, because I haven't noticed anybody making this point yet:
You are correct, they got exactly the legislation they wanted. But their problem now has nothing to do with the internet being big, like a fleet of trucks moving around the world. Youtube does them a *huge* favor by making it relatively *easy* to find infringing content. So what they want now is to not have to spend their own money to defend the "rights" they claim to have, but more importantly, my second point is that:
The DMCA is *exactly* what they wanted. It is not a blanket law that they expected would cover all of their best wishes. It was vague, sure, but the more vague a law, the more that can work to your advantage; if you can get the law passed, and hire enough good lawyers to defend your cause, you can generally get it interpreted however you want, and set precedents for future litigation.
But even in a "worst of all cases scenario," barring the rejection of the DMCA, if the bill passes, it is a *foot in the door.* The door has been opened, they put their right foot in, and are gearing up to put their left one in too.
I believe it was Francis Schaeffer who said "what was unthinkable yesterday is thinkable today... and commonplace tomorrow." I don't believe the DMCA was intended to be a silver bullet, but merely as close to it as one could get. You get your foot in the door, and it gets a whole lot harder to close the door. The proverbial horse is leaving the barn.
Re:Love:Hate ratios in "I love/hate [telco]" searc (329 comments)
While this is a very good point to raise, and I might have done well to consider it when I finally broke down and got a mobile phone, my thought process ran a little differently:
I searched through "reviews" of various mobile service providers, and who would have guessed that the vast majority of reviews are strongly negative? What this taught me is that there are some categories of services and goods for which most people, for the most part, are ambivalent.
I would not generally think to myself how much I love my utility companies (although admittedly, I really have no choice regarding their selection anyway). But my ISP? I have choices on that one, and I can tell you from personal experience, just like a phone service provider, either they do what I want, in which case, congratulations to them, they did what I expected them to do and I am not angry -OR- they do not do what I want in which case I am going to be all kinds of fired up and angry with them and voice my opinion to whoever will listen.
According to those ratios, only 1 in 3 customers love verizon. The other two obviously hate verizon. But it does not consider the relatively large segment of their customer base who do not *care* about verizon enough to rant about it online. The most vocal group is always going to be the people who are extremely displeased.
Seriously, my experience reading reviews taught me that while a lot of people do have certain preferences for their mobile phone service provider, for the most part, everybody hates every provider they are not currently paying, and in a lot of cases, also hate the provider they are.
Moral of the story? Just as filtering out negative reviews will not help your customers (you listening, newegg?) find what they want, if you really want to figure out which provider is the "best," you have to understand that most people do not feel strongly enough to say anything at all. Which means that for the most part, any of these companies are actually doing a pretty good job.
Disclaimer: My service is provided by T-Mobile right now, and am not at all dissatisfied with it, and while I can think of ways to improve my experience, I really do not ever think I would say to anybody that I love (or even like) T-Mobile. They do what I expect them to do, therefore I do not hate them.

Recommendations? Seriously? (435 comments)
Okay, fair enough question to ask. But there is a stipulation that you want to avoid "creationist museums" is exactly the same as an avid follower of fox news refusing to accept the BBC as a valid authority for no reason other than "I don't believe that."
As for me? I expose myself to every input, at every venue I possibly can. Whether I disagree with the source is another matter, but *ignoring* the source is tantamount to saying that "I have made up my mind, and I believe your opinions are of utter disinterest."
Personally, I may not agree with the person I am talking to/hearing from, but "communication" is worthless if you choose to ignore the other person/people.
Communication is little more than the exchange of ideas, and lots of ideas are ones with which you will disagree. However, by ignoring this input, you are no better than those who do the same. You have already made up your mind, I do not think that being brainwashed is a legitimate fear. Be the bigger man. That's all I have to say about that.
Re:Stupid conclusions (843 comments)
I consider three miles to be "walking distance." takes about 45 minutes, lots of people drive longer than that to get to work.
I live 1.7 miles from work, takes me about 25 minutes to get there on foot. And anything that I cannot carry home with me on a bus/taxi/what-have-you, is something I can order online and have delivered to my doorstep. I do not need a car for anything.
Obviously, my situation can change, but it is not a fair comparison. My problem with word is not that I do not print many documents, it is that Word has so many features that nobody I know will ever use more than 10-20% of them. Seriously, in the world of word processors, you probably don't need most of the crap that's in Word. Embrace, extend, extinguish. Word is the emacs of word processors.
(N.B., I actually use emacs -- which easily has thousands of features I will never use)
Re:Just Takes One (575 comments)
It has been said by others in this thread, but my oldest brother (of 8 siblings I have), is a nuclear technician, served on the Enterprise. Nuclear reactors are ALWAYS in critical condition. Without criticality, you have no reactor. "Going critical" is a Hollywood term, and smacks of ignorance that LWATCDR highlights. Critical is normal operation, super critical is a bad thing, ranging from meltdown to a mushroom cloud from an atomic bomb.

Funny thing, I have one of those bookmarklet things or whatever they are called nowadays.

It is a habit I started before FireFox had that as a default, as far as I am aware, and just one that i have kept to this day.
Could be because I am lazy, and do not want to have to click on that search box, or do not care to learn what keyboard shortcut will take me to it directly -- ^L focuses the URL bar, and selects all of the text in it. Ready to type and go.
Re:Criminal masterminds... (181 comments)
Lots of places (like mine) offer a financial incentive of a few dollars to respond to the pedestal giving that warning "BEEP" sound. However, there are rules to follow as well. Do not chase a customer. Do not accuse a customer. Do not follow a customer out of the building. And under no circumstances, ever imply that the beeping is a result of theft. Even if the person openly stealing stuff, offer to deactivate the tag that set off the alarm and let them go.
This is like a lock on your front door - it serves only to keep honest people honest.
The thing I think is actually funny is that the employee door is also a fire exit; and that alarm goes off all the time. So if there is ever a fire, nobody will look up or care.
Re:is the safest, most reliable OS we've ever buil (1010 comments)
to my mind, that's like using the same brush to clean your toilet and your teeth... but it's ok because we ensure the brush is cleaned properly each time.
I must be the only one here imagining what it might look like to brush my teeth using the same brush I would use for a toilet -- whether or not it was brand new, off the shelf... or previously used for that "other" purpose.
On a slightly related note, I got to wondering "we have electric toothbrushes, why not electric toilet brushes?" Well, ladies and gents, a quick google search reveals that we do indeed have electric toilet brushes. And get this, they look a lot like giant electric toothbrushes.
Re:Wow... (629 comments)
A lot of this leaves me scratching my head, because stoplights are not simple timers any more. At least, they haven't been anywhere i see them for the last 10 years. You ever notice those lines in the street by an intersection? the ones that cross over, and have the circles, and all that good stuff?
Those are sensors that measure how traffic is flowing through that intersection, and adjust the timings accordingly. If a particular stoplight (like the second closest one to me) starts with a green left turn arrow, and nobody is going through it, the green quickly goes to yellow, and then red, so the through traffic gets a green light within seconds. If there are lines of people waiting to make their turn, the green arrow just goes on and on.
The funny thing is, as a pedestrian, this is more visible to me. i can hit the "walk" button at an intersection and wait for a very long time. If intersecting traffic ever approaches, i can be there until the other traffic dies down, which can take a while. otherwise, the through traffic gets a red light, pretty soon after a few intersecting vehicles come to a stop.
Something else that's funny is that in the small hours of the morning, walking to work, I can trip the green light by jaywalking. There is no intersecting traffic.
Re:In related news... (375 comments)
Respectfully disagree. Now is indeed an awesome time to buy stuff, *if* you have money. Lots and lots of people are increasingly finding themselves without any, and nothing to do.
So the rest of us should go out and spend wastefully to prop up an overinflated economy? Or for what other reason? If my job is on the chopping block, you can be damn sure that I am going to curttail my spending. Well, I do that anyway as a matter of principle. I am not an economist, but my perception of the situation is that:
Inflation is bad, it makes your money worthless. Deflation is bad, because nobody has any money. There needs to be a certain balance in there, perhaps leaning slightly toward inflation. The problem, as I see it, is that in order to maintain this balance, people have to spend as much money as they have, which in turn widens the poverty gap.
In other words, you could never get insurance from geico (which they claim saves you money) because if wealth were evenly distributed, insurance would be expensive everywhere. (Ok, bad car analogy). My point is that these ginormous fortune 500 companies exist because *they* do the saving, and *we* do the spending.
I don't mean to defend AIG by any stretch. What they did was outright criminal. On an international scale. F*!# the Supreme Court, send them to the Hague. See how much other countries like being screwed over like that.
Not really sure how to sum up what I am thinking, other than "if nobody has any money, or everybody has lots of money, either situation is bad." And this, I believe, is the cause of the poverty gap. Deflation is merely adjustments for inflation, where the cash flow works the other way. The problem is, we do not get the money back as it deflates. However, when the deflation period ends, what we DO have is worth more.

This was the perfect soup for a warm summer night. I would add a bit more seasoning (salt) and I am not a salt eater. The best part was that my husband "hates" cilantro but didn't even know it was in the herbs. We lapped it up. Wonder what it woudl be like with different basils for the herbs. Maybe I'l try that next time.

Cassie Martin will soon bring her experience as a principal, assistant principal, department chair, alternative program administrator and teacher to Menomonee Falls' largest elementary school.
Martin is slated to step into her post as principal of Ben Franklin Elementary School Feb. 25.

WOW! All the choices in this shot are breath taking.
I love this shot!!! The Gakkenflex is probably my favourite camera out of ALL my cameras - including my Bronica. I love the soft focus it gives.
wow! your pictures all just have this amazing feel to them

As part of an addition to my 1940s home in South Florida, I need approx. 800 sq ft of unfinished 3/4" x 1 1/2" solid red oak SELECT quality T&G to sand and finish on site. The existing house has beautiful floors I would like to continue. The problem is no one seems to have it. I can get the 1 1/2" in #1 or Common but not Select. Or I can get Select starting at 2 1/4" width. I am trying to avoid special milling delays and the expense as the prices are double for the 1 1/2" Select and 8-10 weeks to mill. Yikes!!! Three very reputable contractors have told me not too worry, the #1 flooring is 90% clear and if we order extra they can pick and choose and use the darker pieces in little used areas such as closets or along walls where cabinetry will be built in order to keep it in the margins. They tell me it will be fine but I wonder. There's a reason some wood is select and some is #1 or Common. Are they just trying to sell me? I can't afford the $$$ of the special order so I will have to go with the 2 1/4" Select if their advice is not good. I really wanted to keep the flow of the original floors throughout the house as seamless as possible but the reality of my budget is unavoidable. What would you all do? The wider select and or the narrower in #1 quality? Help please. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Gracy - I am no expert, but we plan to order our flooring from Hurst Hardwoods in Florida, and I looked on their website and it looks like they have to kind of wood you are looking for - you might check them out. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Select T&G red
- Posted by gregmills (email@example.com) on Thu, Aug 1, 13 at 18:13
While your contractors idea of picking and choosing certains pieces will work but be prepared to order extra wood in order to get enough "clean" pieces. Where abouts are you trying to find this wood? 1.5" clear or select red oak is out there. Im out in the midwest and have absolutely no problem finding it. You may be in a weird spot where its not widely used but any distributor shouldnt have an issue ordering it. May take a few weeks for delivery but its out there. |

http://www.flooring.org/1-12-Red-Oak-Strip-Flooring They have several to pick from http://www.flooring.org/34-x-1-12-Select-Better-Red-Oak-Unfinished-Flooring |
MiaOKC - thanks for the tip. I will call tomorrow and check it out LazyGardens - likewise thanks for the lead, I will check it out too. Im so excited...hopefully they'll pan out. Gregmills - I'm in the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area and I guess it IS a matter of geography because Ive run up against brick walls trying to get it. Down here everyone is going with the pre-stained or engineered floors, based on what the sales people/contractors tell me. It may be due to humidity concerns. I'm not worried though. As I mentioned in my original post, my house is from the 1940s. The original part sits on joists, a master bedroom addition from the 80s sits on concrete slab. Both have the hardwood and the floors are in awesome shape, no warping of any kind. I'm confident, with a properly installed subfloor, mine will be fine too. Ive tried to make sure my addition did not look like one so I desperately wanted to keep the floors consistent. . Thank you all for the leads. If anyone reading has more suggestions, I'll take 'em. |
Wonder if you ever found your flooring? we are desperately trying to fix a patch of this floor in our 1950's home. NO ONE will talk to us about buying 5 pieces, 3 feet long. If you found this, can you give any info? or if you bought this, do you have 5 pieces,3 feet long you would like to sell! seriously. |
kirgarden, buy 5 pieces of 3' long 2-1/4" Oak, rip it to 1-1/2" wide and either rout or regroove with a dado blade. The wood is readily available. Another alternative would be to find a supplier of the 2-1/4" to see if their supplier has 1-1/2" and ask them to have a bundle shipped along with their next large order. |

Do any of you guys follow a break in procedure for a new AR? My AR is not a bench gun or long range competition gun. I use it primarily for "run n guns" and close to mid range shooting. I've heard a lot of different things from "Just go shoot it" to "Shoot 20 rounds and clean after every shot"....

How do I pick them up. There's no way to do if from my own mailbox, and I can't find the option at the actual post office. I would really like to pick up the piece of art I bought to get going on my second museum level, but I have no idea how I'm supposed to get it.
Gifts sent through mail
Then hope it's not a forgery. Mine sure was!
Same here! I've gotten two paintings straight that were forgeries. =(
@nev I read there's a visible defect on the forgeries, but when I compared all 4 in his tent I couldn't see anything special.
@mideonnviscera: Correct. Here's a site that has images for the real and fakes, with a short description of how to tell if they're fake as well.
@smtdante89: Oh neat! I really should have looked closer at the Motherly Statue I bought. I totally recognized it as the sculpture of Romulus and Remus with the Wolf, which is why I bought it, but I somehow didn't notice that only one of the brothers was in the statue.Totally obvious how fake that thing is in retrospect. Most of the others I would have no chance of catching.
@scrawnto: Yeah. I didn't realize it when I first saw it, but the fake robust statue (Discobolus) was holding a UFO instead of a disc. Once I noticed that, it was kind of embarrassing.
@smtdante89: I can just imagine the owl's reaction upon seeing what I was trying to give him. "Come on, really? You're bringing this to me? You dumb shmuck."

Prospect Profiles - Tim Erixon
Kent Wilson
June 04 2010 05:04PM
The Flames more recent first round pick spent the entire season in the Swedish Elite League, playing for Skelleftea HC. It was Erixon's second season playing pro hockey for the club, despite only recent turing 19 in February. He was a depth player for the team as a 17/18 year old, but managed to play a more prominent role in his sophomore season (45 games, 7 goals, 13 points).
Jason Gregor
June 03 2010 02:45PM
As the Stanley Cup Finals wind down, I wonder if Patrick Kane is the most under-rated player in the NHL; or at least from the Canadian media and fans. Jonathon Toews gets more accolades than Kane, and despite his 22 points, to Toews 27; Kane hasn't been mentioned as even a possibility for the Conn Smyth.
Why I wonder?
Prospect Profiles - MIkael Backlund
Kent Wilson
June 03 2010 10:04AM
While it's almost a certainty that Backlund will make the big team out of training camp this coming October, the young centerman is still technically a rookie and therefore a "prospect", so I felt it would be meaningful to look at his AHL results from last year, given the fact that he spent a majority of the season there.
Prospect Profiles - Bryan Cameron
Kent Wilson
June 02 2010 10:02AM
We've discussed the recent free agent signee previously here and here. What wasn't mentioned in those articles is the fact that Cameron's team - the Barrie Colts - were one of the strongest clubs in the CHL last year. They finished with a record of 57-9-02 (!!) for 116 points and had a goal differential of +141. Even the Memorial Cup winning Windsor Spitfires didn't boast results that impressive during the regular season.

(Please welcome the Nation's newest contributor, AZR from the snarkiest Flames-focused site on the web, Domebeers!)
Vicki Hall is normal, AZR from Domebeers.com is in italics.
Darryl Sutter received a vote of confidence last week from his boss, Ken King.
Not really. Mr. King didn't want questions like "Why are the Flames still allowing some inbred hick to run their hockey operations?" ruining his outdoor game press conference. Ergo, the announcement.
The pronouncement from the team president apparently meant little to the embattled general manager of the Calgary Flames.

Starting Over Gave ER Actress New Love Attitude
By YourTango
Did you ever hesitate to join an industry where your physical appearance can make or break your career?
Honestly, my opinion is you buy into it or you don't buy into it. I know a lot of actors who are not typically beautiful and they are huge successes and huge creative forces, and I think originality and being who you are is more important than the outside. I don't think there's any longevity in a career when you approach your work from the outside in. My favorite actors are the ones who have not had plastic surgery, who are not overly obsessed with being thin. I love Meryl Streep. She's so transcendental because of who she is. I think you buy into it or you don't buy into it, and you're therefore surrounded by people who buy into it or don't. I've never had a discussion with any producer about weight or looks. Not once ever.

New York Mets catcher Anthony Recker would have caught the ceremonial pitch from rapper 50 Cent before Tuesday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
That is, if it had gotten to him.
Instead, Recker, a former Kane County Cougar, watched as the pitch careened left and nearly hit a cameraman.
In an effort to disrespect 50′s street cred, haters have screamed "worst ceremonial pitch of all time." But first pitches are hard, really hard, just ask Ricky "Wild Thing" Vaughn.
But in the end, 50 Cent laughed it off and made some drug references.

Shane Atchison | April 3, 2008 | Comments
We often assume the data that feeds our marketing decisions are correct, but they may not be. Here are three places to avoid potential trip-ups. Part one of a series.
My grade-school teacher would help the class learn to spell words with mnemonics: abbreviations (RHYTHM: rhythm helps your two hips move), rhymes ("I before e, except after c..."), and components (lieutenant: lie u ten ants). We especially loved the trick involving the word "assume." Remember what happens when you assume?
It's funny how exercises like those pour negative connotations on a useful word like "assume." It was reinforced at home, as my mom was always saying, "Don't assume. You have to be 100 percent positive." The whole notion of being sure, making certain, and leaving nothing to chance seemed to be at the core of my early education.
As a professional marketer and business leader, I now make assumptions every day. That includes sizing up the market, assessing competitors' actions, determining information's veracity, and gauging my team's behavior. If I had to wait until I had every piece of data and 100 percent certainty, I'd never accomplish anything.
If assumptions are unavoidable, the key to relying on them is knowing when to use them and when to dismiss them. We often assume the data that feed our marketing decisions are correct, but they may not be. We may be forced to gut-check our assumptions and recognize when we're committed to 100 percent accuracy and when we're not.
Big Assumption No. 1: Analytics Data Is Accurate
Many of us have been assuming this for a long time. Your Web team members come to the table repeatedly to ensure that everything's properly tagged and that they're capturing everything of interest happening on the site.
Unfortunately, they often report that data included the site's internal visitors instead of excluding them or that the 20 new offers posted last month weren't tagged exactly the same as the offers from the previous month. In other words, you assumed one thing and found something else to be true. Did you get bitten by your assumptions here?
Big Assumption No. 2: Offline Conversion Rates Are Correct
How do you know what happens when a customer leaves your Web site and heads to the store? It's easy to see conversions online, but when people venture into the real world, patterns quickly muddy. Even in tightly controlled situations where customers are referred to specific offline fulfillment channels (e.g., auto dealers), the data trail from click to purchase can break down at any number of places.
Big Assumption No. 3: A Lead Value Is Valid
How much is a customer really worth to you? Some businesses have done a comprehensive job of determining this through customer acquisition costs and average customer revenue (e.g., in the mobile phone space marketers know the average revenue per user precisely). You're likely building very elaborate ROI (define) models for your marketing programs that are based primarily on this assumption about a lead's value.
Could the value be wrong? How wrong? Is it too high or too low? What should you do?
Only three big assumptions and everything you know about your business could be dead wrong. It seems like there has to be a better way.
Next time, I'll share other big assumptions and help you see why everything will be OK. I'll walk through a sample model, based on multiple assumptions, useful and relevant for driving a multibillion-dollar business. Until then, assume the best about the data you already have.

AT&T Center
Attendance: None
San Antonio, TX (Sports Network) - Tony Parker's fadeaway baseline jumper off an offensive rebound just beat the final buzzer, as the San Antonio Spurs fended off a furious Philadelphia comeback in a 108-106 thriller.
The Spurs watched a 21-point first quarter lead dwindle throughout the second and third quarter. The Sixers fought back admirably to pull even late in the game and had a chance to go ahead with less than 30 seconds remaining, but a costly turnover gave San Antonio the final shot.
Manu Ginobili's three-pointer from the right wing was short, and the carom bounced to Parker at the baseline with less than two seconds remaining. Parker, with Andre Miller's hand in his face, spun and lofted a rainbow that hit nothing but net to give the Spurs the dramatic win.
Parker finished with 15 points and 10 assists, while Tim Duncan and Ginobili contributed 26 and 21 points, respectively, in San Antonio's seventh win in eight games. Duncan also grabbed 12 rebounds, while Roger Mason had 19 points thanks to his hitting all five of his three-point attempts.
Philadelphia, which was led by Miller's 28 points, ended a grueling six-game road trip with just one win. Andre Iguodala had a solid all-around effort with 25 points, eight rebounds and eight assists, while Thaddeus Young logged 19 points in the heartbreaking loss.
Matt Bonner sparked a torrid Spurs start to the game with a pair of three- pointers. Duncan then chipped in nine quick points and Mason added a trey as the hosts opened up an 18-4 advantage.
Ginobili's old-fashioned three-point play and Mason's third make from behind the arc in the opening 12 minutes ended a dominating 40-19 first quarter for the Spurs.
A 9-0 spurt for Philly midway through the second stanza helped the visitors get to within 66-50 at the break.
The Sixers rode their second-quarter momentum to improbably take the lead late in the third frame. Down 78-68 with 5:43 left, Philly rattled off 11 straight points, highlighted by an Iguodala-to-Young alley-oop and capped with a Miller free throw with under a minute to play in the stanza.
Mason sunk a three at the buzzer to give the Spurs an 84-81 edge heading to an exciting fourth. San Antonio held the quarter's largest lead at six, 102-96, with five minutes left, but the Sixers scored six straight to tie things before exchanging baskets leading up the exciting conclusion.

Jacquelyn Whitt reports in from Hurricane, Utah, where they closed out 2010 with a Women On Target® Instructional Shooting Clinic that, she said, was "totally awesome!"

"Fun was had by all," said Whitt. Enjoy a sampling of these photos, courtesy of Hot Shot Images, recording a great afternoon of target shooting under the sunny Utah skies.
