Islamic State storms Camp Speicher, routs Iraqi forces
Note: the Iraqi military later denied that the Islamic State controls all of Camp Speicher, but did say the airbase was overrun, several helicopters were destroyed, and the airfield had to be retaken by Iraqi troops See Threat Matrix report, Iraqi military says it retakes control of key base in Tikrit.
Two days after repelling an Iraqi military attempt to retake the city of Tikrit, the Islamic State and its allies are said to have overrun Camp Speicher, a large base just outside the city that was being used in the failed effort to retake the provincial capital.
The Islamic State's Salahaddin Division claimed in an official statement released on Twitter yesterday that it overran Camp Speicher and is in "control of the airport and the base completely." In the statement, the Islamic State claimed it killed "scores" of Iraqi military personnel, including a brigadier general and a colonel. It also said that a number of pilots were killed in a "martyrdom" or suicide operation on the base before it was overrun.
The Islamic State also said it destroyed seven aircraft on the tarmac and its "detachments of air defense" shot down two additional aircraft, all of which are thought to be helicopters. The Iraqi military had been using helicopters to ferry troops and supplies to Camp Speicher and Tikrit University, where special forces troops attempted to gain a foothold in the northern part of the city.
Additionally, the Islamic State said it destroyed several armored and other vehicles, while the base's fuel supply was set ablaze.
The Islamic State's claims were echoed by McClatchy, who interviewed residents of Tikrit as well as a Kurdish military officer. One Tikrit resident said that more than 700 Iraqi soldiers and 150 "Iranians," who are likely members of the Shia militias that have been augmenting the military, were based at Speicher. Captured members of the military and militia are said to have been paraded in the streets of Tikrit. Many are said to have been executed.
The Iraqi government and the military, which have released only rosy assessments of the fighting on all fronts, have not commented on the situation in Tikrit.
The Iraqi military made its first effort to retake Tikrit in late June, when it airlifted commandos into Tikrit University in an effort to gain a toehold north of the city. An advance on the city from the south was defeated. Then, on July 16, the Iraqi military launched Operation Decisive Sword. A large column of military and militia units entered southern Tikrit and thought they liberated the city, but as they celebrated they were ambushed with suicide bombers, IEDs, and conventional attacks. The Iraqi forces then withdrew from the city.
After the Iraqi military withdrew from southern Tikrit on July 16, the Islamic State immediately began its assault on Camp Speicher, as the base was the last remaining holdout of Iraqi forces near the city (Iraqi forces were withdrawn from Tikrit University sometime before the second offensive was launched).
The loss of Camp Speicher, and perhaps more importantly, the loss of the helicopters and its pilots if the Islamic State's claims are true, is a serious blow to both the morale and the operational capabilities of the Iraqi military. The Iraqi military, which has failed to retake major cities and towns from the Islamic State and its allies, now may find it more difficult to support and defend the Bayji oil refinery just to the north, which has been largely resupplied by helicopters.
Iraqi military is in disarray
The latest failed Tikrit offensive and the loss of Camp Speicher highlight the deteriorating condition of the Iraqi armed forces. The military has been forced to cobble together units since at least four of its 15 regular army divisions are no longer viable. The Long War Journal estimates that at least seven divisions have been rendered ineffective since the beginning of the year; see Threat Matrix report, US advisers give dark assessment of state of Iraqi military.
In Tikrit, the military is fighting alongside poorly trained militias who are ill-suited to conduct offensive operations. Additionally, SWAT forces, while highly trained and likely more motivated than regular forces, are being misused as infantry.
The Iraqi military and the government have been unable to regain control of Ninewa and much of Salahaddin and Diyala provinces after losing them in an offensive launched by the Islamic State and its allies that began on June 10. Mosul, Iraq's second largest city, is firmly under the control of the Islamic State.
Most of Anbar as well as northern Babil province are also under the Islamic State's control. Fallujah and other cities and towns fell after the Islamic State went on the offensive in Anbar at the beginning of January. The Iraqi military has been unable to retake areas in Anbar lost earlier this year. Half of Ramadi, the provincial capital, is said to be held by the Islamic State. The military recently airlifted 4,000 militiamen to Ramadi, a further indication that the two Iraqi divisions stationed in Anbar, the 1st and the 7th, are no longer cohesive fighting forces.

Not sure what's going to work in this situation...
Short of sustained air support, plus all the logistics and intel that go along with it, by the US, I just don't see the IA doing much.
I wish, for the Iraqis sake , that there were more commandos like the 50 or so that held out at bayji refinery, while the camps guard detachment of 400 fled in fear.
With Iranian boots on the ground, I just don't see my country intervening militarily in a meaningful way, it's just the truth that someone in Washington probably calculated that terrorists killing Iranian quds force members and in turn being killed by them, really is not a bad thing for us or our allies.
Maybe some drone strikes....
Posted by Will Fenwick at July 19, 2014 11:24 AM ET:
It looks like the Islamic State is making a concerted effort to reduce the pockets of territory held by other forces within its area of control. The Deir Izzour pocket has been reduced to a tiny area, Camp Speicher has now fallen. I would expect a large attack on the government held pocket near Tal Afar to be imminent.
Posted by Alex at July 19, 2014 11:50 AM ET:
You know, in all fairness, while I am quick to view Iraqi propaganda and US propaganda (Al-Shorfa, etc.) with a BS filter, I'd also take some of the IS claims with a grain of salt as well. There's definitely a very thick fog of war there.
Posted by Lint at July 19, 2014 9:21 PM ET:
The IA is in absolute disarray and the environment is prime conditions for IS to continue it's advancement on Baghdad. How much blood and treasure did the USA spend on Iraq? If I had lost a child on our misguided war in Iraq, the past two months would be salt in the wound. Shameful.
Posted by BobbyD at July 19, 2014 11:46 PM ET:
Agreed with your comments. The only people that are reporting on the situation in Iraq comes from Al Qaeda twitter accounts. Really???
Posted by Dave E. at July 20, 2014 2:21 AM ET:
When the army depot at Taji falls, and I fear it will soon, kiss the state of Iraq goodbye.
Posted by Mike e at July 20, 2014 11:56 AM ET:
Obamas premature withdrawal from Iraq will go down in history as the worst foreign policy mistake in US history.
Posted by Anonymous at July 20, 2014 12:04 PM ET:
Alex above makes a good point. McClatchy dosnt have a stellar record on accurate reporting from Iraq. Also, a few weeks ago we were all informed by the BBC that the Bayji refinery was in ISIS hands. That still appears untrue. Furthermore, ISIS appears to be losing a lot of people to air strikes, including drones, probably American, in Mosul and to ground combat in Tal Afar west of Mosul. This appears to be the Peshmerga at work. Cutting ISIS off from fuel from Der Izzor in Syria , by Kurd control of Tal Afar,
would be a huge blow.
Posted by Mason at July 20, 2014 7:21 PM ET:
The Iranians gave weapons to Shia and Sunni groups during the Iraq war. They thought they could operate in the chaos better than the U.S.
The Iranians literally made this whirlwind (Hosea 8:7). Let's see, if they can survive it.
I hope people note that getting out of the way and letting your enemies kill each other is different than being disinterested dilettante in foreign affairs whose main interest in domestic affairs. After the fact the dilettante will ascribe other motivations for their actions than disinterest.
Posted by Neo at July 20, 2014 7:46 PM ET:
Although the details are a bit sketchy, the ISIS attack on Iraqi troop columns who had driven into Tikrit, sounds somewhat reminiscent tactics used by Chechen rebels in the New Years Eve assault at the start of the First Battle of Grozny in 1995. In the initial stages of the first Chechen war Russian armored columns drove into Grozny against light opposition. Once they reached the center of town the Chechen's pounced on Russian troops who where strung out along the avenues at the center of Grozni. They were hit by small combat groups divided into fire teams. The Russian troops, having to fight exposed positions in urban terrain nullified much of the advantage of using armored transports and heavy weaponry.
Posted by Winston at July 21, 2014 2:49 AM ET:
People are talking in forums that ISIS is no defender of Islam, given what is happening in Gaza and how close its presence is to Israel. They are saying there is something fishy about ISIS.
Posted by JRP at July 21, 2014 9:28 AM ET:
The Islamic State will use the distractions of Gaza and Ukraine to intensify its siege of Baghdad. It may even have its sights set on an attack against the U.S. Embassy ala Tet offensive in Vietnam in 1968. The formal Iraqi Gov't can't govern and the people still ruled by the Iraqi Gov't haven't the stomach for war. Everyone seems to be discounting the Islamic State. This is a grave mistake. Rather than worrying about Gaza and Ukraine, in its own National Interest the United States must start formulating a battle plan against the Islamic State to prevent IS from mounting an attack either against our interests in country or against our Homeland.
Posted by Alex at July 21, 2014 10:45 AM ET:
Anonymous, could you provide some links talking about those air strikes? I've seen some of the footage on LiveLeak but there's no way to tell how recent any of that is (i.e.: was it filmed years ago but only uploaded recently) nor how effective they are.
Posted by Fred at July 21, 2014 4:14 PM ET:
Anyone talking about the US going back there is crazy. That isn't happening and shouldn't happen. This was a dumb war to begin with. Even if the Shiites somehow beat the Sunnis back into submission they will still be an ally of Iran more than the US. What strategic benefit do we gain from that?
We should not be throwing good money after bad. Yes, it's a shame about the blood and treasure we lost there- it's a travesty really. It was a horrible decision to attack in the first place and we are going to be dealing with the fallout for a long, long time. That doesn't make it any more of a good idea for us to step in at this point.
Posted by Manus at July 23, 2014 6:55 PM ET:
I…and over-whelming majority of the American people are very happy that Obama got us out of Iraq.
That said, developments both before and since our withdrawal have "handed" this geo-political area into Iran's sphere: let them deal with it with their buddies in Baghdad.
The Iraqi Sunnis-of-old are going to have to eventually deal with IS.
The Iraqi Kurds are sitting in the driver's seat.
Let the Iraq partition begin….

School of Social Work Graduate Student Navigates Campus with SpaceScout
For someone who grew up in Maine, went to college in Boston, then traveled to the other corner of the country (San Diego) for her first graduate degree, then up to the Pacific Northwest for her second, it's probably not surprising that Ashley LeBlanc is enamored with SpaceScout. "I've lived in eight different cities. I travel and explore a lot. I like the idea of exploring and finding new places, not getting stuck in a rut."
Learning Her Way Around
A first-year graduate student, and entirely new to the Seattle campus, Ashley has made good use of SpaceScout to learn her way around. Her home base is the School of Social Work, where she is enrolled in the MSW program. "There aren't tons of study spaces at SSW, and the study commons is often used for group work." After hearing about SpaceScout at a student orientation, Ashley checked out the tool and eventually found three or four favorite study spots that work for her. "The images are key! Instead of hunting around on campus, you get a sense of what's available right from your phone." (In addition to the iOS app, SpaceScout also provides a web-based version.)
Spaces to Fit Any Study Need
Now a SpaceScout veteran, Ashley knows where to go, depending on the study needs of the moment. "For courses that are heavy on reading and writing, I like to be able to camp out for hours, and knowing that there's coffee nearby is great. I love the Suzzallo reading room for long study sessions. On the other hand, sometimes I want to make use of time before a class, and for shorter study breaks, I like a more comfortable space. Tables at certain corners of the library have a nice view, or are close to books related to social work. When I went to South Campus center for a class, and I discovered great spaces with couches that look out over the canal—I can look up from studying and see sailboats going by. We spend so much time studying that it's nice to change your environment, and get different stimuli."
Favorite Spaces
When asked what she likes most about SpaceScout, in addition to the images, Ashley says, "I like being able to pull up my list of favorites spaces." (To create a list of favorite spaces in the iOS app, tap the star at the top right corner of an image.) "You discover some really cool corner, like the couch nooks at South Campus center, add it to your favorites, and then you always have it to go back to. She also likes being able to filter for the hours a space is available, proximity to food and coffee, and spaces with natural light. "The map is great, too—I can see how far apart buildings are. And I like that I can use the iOS app while walking around campus." (Currently only available on the iOS app, the ability to add spaces to a favorites list will be available in the web version in late spring/early summer 2014.)
The Importance of Predictability
Ashley notes that for a graduate student, when trying to fit in study time—along with a part-time job and a practicum—predictability is important. Living with a roommate, she can't always count on home being a conducive study space. "You need to know where you can go to get your work done. I take into consideration what my attention span is like, how much time I have, what I need to get done." It's helpful to have a range of study spaces that meet different needs, and to know that they are available when you need them.
It's Good to Explore
Ashley encourages students to shake up their routine. "It's good to explore. The Law Building has great places to sit. We have access to all of these buildings, all these great spaces to take advantage of, so there's no reason not to use them."
New Features On the Way
The SpaceScout Team is excited to roll out new features this spring. The ability to bookmark favorite spaces, currently available only in the iOS app, will soon be available across devices--create a list of favorite spaces on your home computer, and you can pull it up later on your iPhone. In addition, Ashley can soon share her love of the Suzzallo Reading Room by leaving a review. Ratings and comments will soon allow students to get (and give) the real skinny on a space. (Great view? Uncomfortable furniture? Fellow SpaceScout users want to know.) And finally, the SpaceScout team has made it easy to coordinate group study sessions by allowing students to email space details (photo, location, etc.) to their study buddies. No more worries about whether they'll be able to find you.

PERSONAL IMPRESSION: Hi Chris. It was a pleasure to read your work. This reminds me something Charlie Kaufman would do. If my memory serves me correctly (fitting given the nature of cognition in your story) we discussed this story in LA last year.
And, I think I mentioned a jewel of a book by Alan Lightman called EINSTEINS DREAMS.
What I cant remember is how far along you were with this story or a revision of it and whether you had read that book or not.
And, if memory serves, I think at some point in our conversation I said that the best time-travel movie for me was PRIMER.
And your story has a great PRIMER vibe to it.
In fact, the only reason that Im not adding your story as a favorite is because I dont buy into the magic that non-amplified cognition can cause time travel.
I think there has to be a machine.
Anyway, I think youve seen PRIMER and read EINSTEINS DREAMS but if you havent, both are fantastic.
TITLE: Love it. Fans of PRIMER will love it too.
LOGLINE: A quantum physics professor finds himself on the outside of his own life, looking in, when he time travels twenty-four hours into the future and gets stuck there.
Good, I like it. Sweet.
PLOT/STRUCTURE: Very good. My only gripe is the McGuffin. Makes me wanna take out my mind machine and play with it.
FIRST TEN PAGES: Well done. We get a touch of time theory and find out about where we got the cool, paradoxical title. Makes me wanna talk in Stephen Hawking robot-voice and say things like Singularity.
FIRST TURNING POINT: Page 29, the first jump in time. And this is my main gripe with the story, and I could be dead wrong.
I wonder if audiences would buy into the magic more if it took more of a SERPENT AND THE RAINBOW or ALTERED STATES vibe.
I mean, this almost feels like GOOD WILL HUNTING instead of sci-fi.
Does that make sense?
This is very good, but given the faith we have in machines now, maybe we ought to see one.
Granted, it is so cool to have a time travel movie without a time machine.
So, perhaps a drug like in ALTERED STATES?
Im concerned that if this gets into an existential realm, then it falls dangerously close to I *heart HUCKABEES.
SECOND TURNING POINT: Technically, I suppose one would call this bit I like a mid-point crisis but on page 64 when Jacob tells Olive that he is going to get back his station wagon, we know he is taking charge of his own life.
Nice work.
CONCLUSION: Love it. Jacob is gone but theres hope. And the whole thing ends questioning the nature of time.
I read your production notes and figured that by now, all the typos have been pointed out.
So, I have exactly one note:
p64 nice scene with Olive and Jacob
FINAL THOUGHTS: Im trying to wrap my head around this a bit. I wonder if this would be a tough sale because of its similarity to PRIMER?
Even so, this is a good script that was a lot of fun to read.
Keep punching keys.
best wishes,

A review of Ironic Karmaby bloodmeridian2004 on 08/09/2013Hey Jane: I'll dive in. FIRST IMPRESSION: The first two pages are numbered zero and one, typically a feature spec is not numbered until page two. The first page of text has long blocks of description (the very first block is 16 lines) and thus appears to be vastly overwritten.

I got a riddle,
What's little and talks big,
With midget arms and creamy white filling in the middle,
That'll do anything to throw dirt on my name,
If it means walking the whole Mediterranean,
Is it an Albanian, Armenian, Iranian, Tasmanian,
No, his name's Raymond and oh,
Oh sorry, yo, so sorry, whoa
But that was a long time ago,
When I was just Joe Schmo,
Rapping in Joe Blow's basement,
I apologized for it before so,
Either accept it or you don't,
And let's move on,
If I ain't shown that I've grown you get the bone,*
Keep lickin these nuts you industry mutts,
Keep walking around sniffing each other's butts,
Or should I say asses,
What would be the more politically correct term to use for the masses,
The question I ask is how can I explain this,
How can I swing this in English language,
If I switched to slang and turned man to mane,
Do I do it in vain or simply to entertain,
Am I being real or am I being fake,
Am I just a fraud or am I truly genuine,
Or am I caught up in this hot water,
Word on my daughter,
I told you That I love this culture,
Don't let 'em insult ya,
I'ma tell you once more again
This is the environment I was brought up in,
But every now and then,
I use my pen to get rid of some frustration,
Or should I say "shun",
Is it just another one of my subliminal ways of racism,*
Your face is numb, you're stunned,
Your look is cold like that of a man of 70 some years old,*
And it only gets colder,
Which is why I understand,
You can't be mad at a 44 year old fan with a chip on his shoulder,
Who only owns a half of a magazine,
And the only way to have it seen is to put me on the front of it again,
Only thing that makes him grin is to see me frown,*
Papa can't stand me,
Papa needs to take his medication and sit the fuck down,
In his new chair that goes round and round,
That he bought from the money in his bank account,
That I get him every issue when the thing comes out,
Sit back and let his puffy clown hair come out,
And let his black side arm wrestle his white side,
Yell apartheid loud enough that he might slide,
He might find someone dumb enough who might ride,*
But ain't nobody over here buying two white guys,
Disguised as pro-black,
There is no slack for a Harvard college grat in a fitted hat,
And a hunchback standin by the clearance coat rack,
In some old slacks and some RSO throwbacks, yeah*
Shady in the place to bc,
And it takes what I got to rock the mike, right*
Still not gonna cater these punks,
Fuckin cock-suckin, pussy-lips, hated, dicks, cunts.*

Wake Forest Demon Deacons (8-14)
@Florida St. Seminoles (16-6)
Tuesday, February 01
Donald L. Tucker Center
Attendance: 9,729
Wake Forest
Florida St.
Tallahassee, FL (Sports Network) - Deividas Dulkys scored a team-best 16 points, leading five in double figures, as the Florida State Seminoles posted an 85-61 win over the Wake Forest Demon Deacons in ACC action at the Donald L. Tucker Center.
Bernard James accounted for 13 points on 5-of-6 shooting from the field for the Seminoles (16-6, 6-2 ACC) as they picked up their fifth win in six tries. Michael Snaer and Ian Miller chipped in 11 points apiece, followed by Derwin Kitchen with 10 and seven rebounds in the triumph as well.
The Demon Deacons (8-14, 1-6) were led by Gary Clark with 16 points, hitting 4-of-6 shots behind the three-point line, but he also turned the ball over five times as the team fell for the sixth time in seven outings. Tony Chennault added 10 points off the bench.
Wake made a total of just seven field goals in the first half and shot a mere 3-of-8 at the free-throw line, leaving the visitors with a 31-19 deficit at the break.
In the second half the Demon Deacons picked up the pace with 53.3 percent accuracy from the floor, but by then it was already too late in the 24-point decision.
In addition to holding a 47-33 advantage on the glass, FSU also forced the visitors into 24 turnovers on the night.

Exciting news from the rapid prototyping world: For those of you put off by the plastic-like consistency of most RP'd parts, the i.materialise shop has just announced the ability to crank out custom titanium parts.
Their process uses Direct Metal Laser Sintering, which...
...has hereto only really been used by high end research organizations and multinationals making tooling, aerospace components, medical tools, surgical implants or for pure research. We're skipping the "trickle down" affect in technology and now making this revolutionary technology available worldwide. Titanium opens jewelry, high end engineering and high tech applications to this growing segment of people that produce online. Titanium is by far the hardest and strongest 3D printing material. It is also extremely accurate and biocompatible. We are very curious to see which of the host of possible applications that are open to designers will be used by them We think that titanium 3D printing is a powerful production technology that really adds to a designer's arsenal.

Fulham have confirmed Moritz Volz has left the club following the conclusion of his contract.
The former Wimbledon and Arsenal defender made 146 appearances for the Cottagers during a five-year spell.
Volz finished last season in the Championship with Ipswich, with whom he made 22 league appearances.
The German scored what was the 15,000th Premier League goal in a game against Chelsea in December 2006.
Striker Collins John joins Volz in searching for a new club after he was not offered new terms by manager Roy Hodgson.
Meanwhile, Danish midfielder Leon Andreasen, who joined in the 2008 January transfer window, has joined Hannover on a permanent deal following a loan spell.

Say the name "Lex Luthor", and one character trait instantly springs to mind: more iconic than his evil nature and pots of money is the fact that he's as bald as the day is long.
However, it sounds as though Zack Snyder is about to tinker with one of DC's most recognisable villians by taking the controversial decision to give him a full head of hair.
According to reliable fansite
Batman News
, Jesse Eisenberg has been spotted on set sporting longish dirty-blonde locks, with the report describing his look as, "a 20-something guy that pounds energy drinks all day".
Needless to say, this will likely rile up fans of the source material, who haven't been universally enthused by Snyder's plans for the project so far. Still, hair or no hair, we can imagine Eisenberg doing a cracking turn as Luthor, if his Mark Zuckerberg was anything to go by…
Directed by Snyder and co-starring Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill and Jeremy Irons,
Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice
will open in the UK on 29 April 2016.

Really loving this on the iPad My one big suggestion is adding the flavor text to the game. A large portion of the enjoyment I get from the Arkham Horror line is the atmosphere and flavor. I find Omens to be lacking in this regard. I don't own the physical game, so I'd love to be able to enjoy the flavor text for the adventures and tasks. Otherwise, it's a great product and I love that FFG the risk to develop this. Thanks!!

Common English Bible w/ Apocrypha (CEBA) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Then Job answered: | 1 Then Job replied: |
2 Listen carefully to my remarks and let that comfort you. | 2 "Listen carefully to my words; let this be the consolation you give me. |
3 Bear with me so I can speak, I myself; and after my reply you can mock. | 3 Bear with me while I speak, and after I have spoken, mock on. |
4 Are my complaints against another human; why is my patience short? | 4 "Is my complaint directed to man? Why should I not be impatient? |
5 Turn to me and be appalled; lay your hand over your mouth. | 5 Look at me and be astonished; clap your hand over your mouth. |
6 If I recall it, I'm scared; shaking seizes my body. | 6 When I think about this, I am terrified; trembling seizes my body. |
7 Why do the wicked live, grow old, and even become strong? | 7 Why do the wicked live on, growing old and increasing in power? |
8 Their children are always with them, their offspring in their sight, | 8 They see their children established around them, their offspring before their eyes. |
9 their houses safe from dread, God's punishing stick not upon them. | 9 Their homes are safe and free from fear; the rod of God is not upon them. |
10 Their bull always breeds successfully; their cows give birth and never miscarry. | 10 Their bulls never fail to breed; their cows calve and do not miscarry. |
11 They send forth their little ones like sheep; their infants bounce around. | 11 They send forth their children as a flock; their little ones dance about. |
12 They raise drum and lyre, rejoice at the sound of a flute. | 12 They sing to the music of tambourine and harp; they make merry to the sound of the flute. |
13 They spend their days contentedly, go down to the grave peacefully. | 13 They spend their years in prosperity and go down to the grave in peace. |
14 They say to God, "Turn away from us; we take no pleasure in knowing your ways; | 14 Yet they say to God, 'Leave us alone! We have no desire to know your ways. |
15 who is the Almighty that we should serve him, and what can we gain if we meet him?" | 15 Who is the Almighty, that we should serve him? What would we gain by praying to him?' |
16 Look, isn't their well-being the work of their own hands? A sinner's logic is beyond me. | 16 But their prosperity is not in their own hands, so I stand aloof from the counsel of the wicked. |
17 How often does the lamp of the wicked flicker or disaster come upon them, with its fury inflicting pain on them? | 17 "Yet how often is the lamp of the wicked snuffed out? How often does calamity come upon them, the fate God allots in his anger? |
18 Let them be like straw in the wind, like dry grass stolen by a storm. | 18 How often are they like straw before the wind, like chaff swept away by a gale? |
19 God stores up his punishment for his children. Let him destroy them so they know. | 19 [It is said, ] 'God stores up a man's punishment for his sons.' Let him repay the man himself, so that he will know it! |
20 Let their own eyes witness their doom. Let them drink from the Almighty's wrath. | 20 Let his own eyes see his destruction; let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty. |
21 What do they care about their household after they die, when their numbered days are cut off? | 21 For what does he care about the family he leaves behind when his allotted months come to an end? |
22 Will they instruct God— he who judges the most powerful? | 22 "Can anyone teach knowledge to God, since he judges even the highest? |
23 Someone dies in wonderful health, completely comfortable and well, | 23 One man dies in full vigor, completely secure and at ease, |
24 their buckets full of milk, their bones marrow-filled and sound. | 24 his body well nourished, his bones rich with marrow. |
25 Another dies in bitter spirit, never having tasted the good things. | 25 Another man dies in bitterness of soul, never having enjoyed anything good. |
26 They lie together in the dust and worms cover them. | 26 Side by side they lie in the dust, and worms cover them both. |
27 Look, I know your thoughts; your plans harm me. | 27 "I know full well what you are thinking, the schemes by which you would wrong me. |
28 You say, "Where is the official's house? Where is the tent, the dwelling of the wicked?" | 28 You say, 'Where now is the great man's house, the tents where wicked men lived?' |
29 Haven't you asked travelers or paid attention to their reports? | 29 Have you never questioned those who travel? Have you paid no regard to their accounts-- |
30 On the day of disaster the wicked are spared; on the day of fury they are rescued. | 30 that the evil man is spared from the day of calamity, that he is delivered from the day of wrath? |
31 Who can criticize their behavior to their faces; they act, and who can avenge them? | 31 Who denounces his conduct to his face? Who repays him for what he has done? |
32 They are carried to their graves; someone keeps guard over their tombs. | 32 He is carried to the grave, and watch is kept over his tomb. |
33 The soil near the desert streambed is sweet to them; everyone marches after them— those before them, beyond counting. | 33 The soil in the valley is sweet to him; all men follow after him, and a countless throng goes before him. |
34 How empty is your comfort to me; only deceit remains in your responses. | 34 "So how can you console me with your nonsense? Nothing is left of your answers but falsehood!" |

Connected to its surrounding landscape: San Lorenzo Residence
San Lorenzo Residence represents two interlocking L-shaped forms to organize the house, designed by Mike Jacobs Architecture, located at the end of a canyon road in Los Angeles, California. The house responds to and engages its surrounding landscapes: an interior private garden to the south and the manicured fairways of a golf course to the north.
Following a careful zoning study, two interlocking "L-shaped" formally organize the house: the first "L-shape", an open and transparent enclosure and veranda (steel/glass), incorporates the communal living spaces of garden, pool, living rooms and theater; the second "L-shape," an opaque enclosure (stucco/cedar), holds the basic form of the house and incorporates the private bedrooms and service spaces.
A large open living space is central to the organization of the house. Pocket sliding doors open the south wall to the garden and north facing windows unfold to view the fairways create direct connections to the exterior. These large openings passively cool the house and draw fresh air deep into the residual spaces to naturally ventilate the home.
Social exchange is expressed by section. An elongated formal stair links the terraced living spaces to the exterior and connects to the theater below. A pair of secondary flanking stairs provide access from the residual private rooms and service areas. These multiple points-of-entry produce a constant interchange between the family unit.

Efficient design and grand views exhibited by Waterfall House
Waterfall House is a single family residence tucked away in the rolling hills of West Lake, in Austin, Texas, recently completed by Dick Clark + Associates. The home features efficient design and impressive views, a unique single family spec home built to attract a discerning group of potential owners. Though comfortably removed from the thick of the city in the hills of west Austin, the stunning skyline is the most influential factor in the design of the house.
To achieve the ideal view, the house is subtly perched on a raised foundation. The main spaces in the house are located along the eastern facade to have equal access to the skyline views. The seamless transition between the interior and exterior spaces of the house is achieved through material continuity, such as the tile floor that flows from inside to out, and through the massive sliding glass doors that open the living, dining, and kitchen spaces to be one with the exterior pool deck. The skyline, as viewed from this open indoor/outdoor space, is dramatically framed by an elegant negative-edge pool that disappears into the hills below.
The love of beautifully detailed architecture, shared by both the builder and the architect, are evident in the carefully executed lines, delicate proportions, and seamless spatial transitions in this high-end Austin home. The site placement of this house blurs the line between city and rural living, a characteristic that Austinites greatly value, just as the design itself softens the divide between interior and exterior.

Garage converted into welcoming modern living area
This former garage spotted on Vtwonen has been transformed into a stunning two story working and living space for a family in Den Bosch, a city and municipality in the southern Netherlands. The garage turned home is comprised of over 10,764 square feet (1,000 square meters) of living space. When you walk into the studio-cum-living room, you will be embraced by a spacious and bright space with high ceilings and open living plan. The home offers an industrial air with exposed beams, concrete flooring and herringbone wood flooring in some of the living spaces to add coziness and warmth. The furnishings are very eclectic mixing vintage and modern pieces with bold pops of color to create a truly unique living environment. There are plenty of windows and skylights to filter in natural light, lessening the need for fluorescent lighting.

Impressive Los Angeles pad embracing nature: 631 Mansfield
631 Mansfield is a stunning contemporary designed family house that is the vision of Amit Apel Design, situated in Los Angeles, California. This five bedroom, five and a half bathroom structure does not quite fit into a particular box or label, rather it reflects a non-conforming spirit that explores an avant-garde vision – the most ancient of all functions: the home.
A path to the entry door deliberately takes visitors past the front facade to expose its volumes and architectural elements even before they can ring the bell. Once inside, they experience an open and spacious floor plan filled with abundant natural light that enters from the many floor-to-ceiling openings and a great central skylight over a double height space. Though the space is read as a whole and predominantly white, some contrasting black surfaces and changes in textures serve to define the different areas, while occasional woods soften the look.
The indoor-outdoor border disappears when the pocket doors slide into the walls and enlarge the space for gatherings; and the outdoor swimming pool elegantly extends to the wall and mirrors the house in the waters reflection. To add charm, landscape lightings are designed to emphasize the effect.
This kitchen takes the laboratory aesthetics to an extreme in which one can imagine daily molecular cuisine naturally taking place. Every room in the house has unorthodox shapes, and the corridor that connects them blurs into what feels like an exterior plaza with an inspiring view.
There is one central element whose presence is quite spectacular and is virtually visible from every corner of the house. It is a gigantic suspended planter with an equally large plant that hangs about 3 feet high at the center of the stairs space, right under the skylight. It looks like a levitating tree, just surreal.
Bathroom spaces have been stripped from their usual predictions and have matured to shapes and clad that fit with the discrete extravagant nature of the house. In such sense, private and public spaces are treated with equal design respect and attention to details.

Minimalist family home in Japan by UID Architects: Pit House
The Pit House is a minimalist family home designed by UID Architects, nestled on a terraced mountain hill in Okayama Prefecture near Seto Inland Sea, Japan. Based on the site condition, the architects considered a new way of architecture, where views open towards the north and the ground level is one meter higher than the road level. The small home has a unique open plan design concept, comprised of 1,237 square feet (115 square meters) of living space with two bedrooms and one bathroom.
The relationship is as if the site's natural environment and the architecture coexist at the same time. The architecture has become a part of the whole landscape of undivided environment, not simply thinking about connection to the surroundings from the cut off opening in walls.This time, we came up with a living form that accepts the outside environment such as surface of the terraced land, surrounding neighboring houses' fences and walls, residences that sit along the slope and far beyond mountains. The architectural principle is not a division from the land with a wall, but an interior that is an extension of the outside and connection of the surface like a pit dwelling that is undivided from the land. In concrete, six types of floor levels including a round floor that is created by digging the surface are connected with a concrete cylinder core at the center. Furthermore, delicate and multiple branch-like columns that support the slightly floating boxes produce various one-room spaces.
Environment and architecture create new extensive relationship by connecting surfaces. The territory is undefined in the space in a body sense. I think that is more natural relationship of an architecture standing in a landscape.

Bayshore Drive Residence in Newport Beach by Brandon Architects
Bayshore Drive Residence is a truly stunning custom home that has been designed by studio Brandon Architects, who worked in conjunction with Patterson Custom Homes, situated in the exclusive Bay Shores coastal community in Newport Beach, California. This two story residence is comprised of 3,200 square feet with five bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms, situated on a typical rectangular lot. Views of the harbor are available from the roof level, so the program incorporated a large exterior roof-top deck, complete with a built in BBQ, spa, and fire-pit. The project is a traditional Colonial/Greek Revival design, including ample indoor/outdoor living spaces integrated with a modern open living plan which maximizes natural light and ventilation in living spaces as well as outdoor patios, decks and balconies.

Modern ski cabin in Washington State: The Ranchero
The Ranchero is a modern ski cabin designed by CAST Architecture nestled at the edge of a subalpine meadow in the small community of Mazama in Washington State's the upper Methow Valley. The Ranchero is a base camp for a family of four, offering year round outdoor adventure and a social hub for gatherings of friends and family. The architects responded with a simple, rugged design that is responsive to the environment and low on maintenance, letting the family focus on the outdoors. The open plan home offers 1,600 square feet of living space plus 800 square feet of covered outdoor space.
The deep veranda, over-sized entry and ski wax room provide family and guests a functional landing zone between activities.
A view from the south shows how the house is split into two components linked by a single sloped roofline. To the right is the 1,400-square-foot main house, and on the left is a 200-square-foot sauna. The sauna area includes a covered wooden shed and a wax room for preparing skis in the winter.
A simple material pallet focuses on highly durable, low maintenance solutions such as Cor-ten steel siding, aluminum clad windows and a concrete skirt that protects the structure's base during the winter snowpack and spring snowmelt cycle.
With a spine that is aligned along an east west axis, the home is designed to take advantage of passive solar heat gain in the winter while minimizing solar heat gain in the summer.
Crisp white aluminum ceiling panels reflect light into the home and help blur the line between the indoors and outdoors.
The plan emphasizes simplicity, abundant natural light and a strong connection to the surrounding peaks and adjacent aspen grove. The public wing features an open floor plan with an expansive patio that sets the stage for relaxation and socializing. The corridor beyond the kitchen leads to the three bedrooms as well as the bathrooms, laundry and a small office.
Made from low-maintenance, paint-free aluminum panels, the white ceilings reflect sunlight into the home to make the interior brighter and less reliant on artificial lighting throughout the day.
The furnishings throughout the house pick up on the ruggedness of the architecture as well as the character of the landscape. Mild steel and integrally colored fiber cement panels clad the interior walls for a durable, paint free finish.
Peeling of steel also occurs at the entry, creating a shelf for keys, wallets, hats and so forth.
Low VOC finishes, concrete floors, and a heat recovery ventilator insure clean and healthy air.
Many of the unique details that take advantage of the materials are very subtle. In one corner of the kitchen, for example, the steel peels up to hold chalk for writing notes or drawings pictures on the wall.
The home features regionally crafted custom finish details, casework and furnishings throughout.
The private wing offers a master suite with an extra day bed, a ship's berth inspired bunkroom, and peaceful getaway nooks.
Built at a modest scale with super insulated walls and ceilings, energy efficient windows and systems, the home is intended to minimize energy consumption.
A balance of rugged materials, a simple plan and clean lines help focus this mountain retreat on the place, people and adventures.

Tranquil and airy Southern California retreat: Westridge Residence
Westridge Residence is a single story 1950s California Ranch style home, which was given a complete overhaul by Montalba Architects in Los Angeles, California. The home is nestled hillside, capturing 270-degree views of downtown Los Angeles and the Pacific Ocean. The architects found inspiration in the mostly covered-over details of the existing structure -a high exposed-beam ceiling in the living room and brick walls – and re-imagined these for an open, flowing series of rooms that a modern family could enjoy. The stone fireplace was replaced with white brick and numerous partitions removed to create a single, free-flowing living / family / kitchen area. The interior design of this spectacular home was carried out by Thinkpure.
The roofline was raised over the entirety of the house and clerestories, skylights, and full-height glass doors added to bring in additional natural light. A bright and reflective material palette – white brick, Carrara marble, glass tile, terrazzo, and oak – is used throughout to visually expand the space and pay homage to the original mid-century character. The sandblasted concrete hardscape, including a new spa and fire feature, is terraced to accommodate the hillside, and complimented by sustainable plantings and fruit trees. The terraces operate as extensions of the interior public spaces, creating a series of indoor-outdoor rooms.
The lifted ceiling and custom two-sided stone fireplace create a continuous great room between the living and dining areas and main garden.
Floor to ceiling windows combine with natural ipe decks and rooftop rock gardens to extend view corridors and habitable areas at the south and west elevations.
The newly-added second story offers a separated haven for extended family, including mini-kitchen and secondary family room. Light-colored, beach-inspired materials such as white-washed oak floors, white stone, teak millwork, and ocean-toned glass tiles transform the home into a tranquil, airy Southern California retreat.

Dream home in Western Australia: The Quedjinup
The Quedjinup captures the epitome of a down south dream home designed by The Rural Building Company, situated in Perth, Western Australia. One of the first things you notice about this urban home is how beautifully the traditional elevation blends with the surrounding bushland. Stone feature walls and an Australian landscaped garden add to the authentic outback feel as you walk through the paved double carport to the front entrance. If preferred, the carport could easily be converted to a two car garage.
The large free form living and kitchen area is enhanced by raking ceilings and views through stackable sliding doors to the back alfresco area. Being the heart of the home, the living room is perfectly designed for those on acreage with beautiful 360 degree views or for others who desire open space living.
The Quedjinup has been beautifully designed with a contrast of soaring ceilings and free form living areas and secluded bedroom areas to retire to for privacy.

Humans are a curious bunch who like to measure things. We like numbers and we like to know where on the spectrum something falls: school grades, body mass index, NASDEQ values, alcohol content. We're surrounded by and compared to an endless amount of data. Here are some examples of strange measuring devices that you probably didn't even know existed.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz says Children in the Womb are Not Persons Comments
Human rights are based on the natural law inscribed on human hearts and present in different cultures and civilizations. Removing human rights from this context would mean restricting their range and yielding to a relativistic conception. Not only rights are universal, but so too is the human person, the subject of those rights (Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith) Continue Reading

Kathy: Congratulations to you! WE embrace you! May you enjoy your ascent! Martin: I very much agree w/you, in that, if we want to win this fight, it is not going to be won by sentiments, Faith, Belief or even Reason alone, because those of whom you speak of, that are opposite us, will not listen. For those of you who disagree, i ask you to recall Christ and the 99 sheep, and the one that was lost, then found. This was Martin's point: Only from his viewpoint, the 99 sheep are atheists, agnostics, humanists, etc. The one out of the 100 is maybe the one who changed his mind on abortion. Thank you Martin for your post. I am NOT saying Faith does not work. It can, w/the correct management. Just like our Government. And Yes, I do believe in miracles...but there are different types. And lastly, God rarely intervenes w/man's Choice, as he gave him Free Will. Now, if you have read any of my posts anywhere, think of this last sentence and the mess we are in today. Blessings always...

Why should anyone be surprised? This is what happens when Catholics vote for people who do not have our values. I have met the enemy and he is us.

Notice the photo of Wasserman that accompanies this article..you can see how hardened she is.Look at how steely her eyes are and at how angry she looks.People with her views are on the decline.More and more young people are becomming pro-life..they see the fruits of abortion..the pro-death side will not replenish themselves.They'll abort themselves out of existence.What we need to do is continue the war in our homes by de-educating our children from the planned parenthood agenda that has infiltrated the school systems.We also need to keep God first and foremost at the front of all we do..especially in the home.Let Wasserman rant and rave..she does the devils bidding..she's on the losing side..and that losing sides days are growing shorter.As the world gets darker and becomes more evil..smell the victory of God at hand for it is coming.

"This is an extreme and radical step", "divisive, dangerous, and destructive". What is extreme, radical step and divisive, dangerous, and destructive is Debby Wasserman-Schultz and the Marxist Democrat Party. She was simply describing herself and her political party without realizing it. Isn't it amazing that people actually vote for her. I wonder how many Catholic votes she gets?

Beth: Thanks for reading my posting and commenting. In reply:
I am happy to concede that the unborn child is not a parasite but I maintain that it is para-SITIC - i.e. Behaves LIKE a parasite in describing the biological relationship between child and mother. The unborn child is a separate organism and lives inside the mother drawing nutrition from her - even to the point of it being detrimental in some cases, such as poor nutrition. If I have used the term incorrectly, I apologise for any offence caused. -

This world has too many such wicked woman. Just as the eve gave the fruit to Adam to eat. If we are indifference to their actions, we are sinful as not endeavored to keep God's command. This world has too much so called freedom and free choice and it's time to gather our strength or even sward against those wicked just as what God commanded early Israelite to wipe out all those against God.

In a new book by Fr. Robert Spitzer that I highly recommend, "Ten Universal Principles - a brief philosophy of the life issues" he states "the presence of the full human genome in a zygote will ordinarily become a fully actualized human being if he encounters no natural or artificial impediment in the develoment process", I find it ironic that these same liberals who quote science when it comes to the global warning debate ignore the new science when it comes to the embryo, as our church teaches science and faith are not in conflict, God is the author of both.
As someone recently said, the battle is not against liberals, democrats, marxists, atheists, etc., it's against powers and principalities, against the devil and his demons, against sin...the only way to fight this is prayer, a return to holiness, a return to penance, Eucharistic Adoration, if your placing your bet on a new republican president, or any politician for that matter, it's a losing bet...just remember 50% of Catholics voted for the most pro-death president who just happens to be very anti-Catholic, look at the false Catholics he has put into his administration, not to mention the battle he is waging against our Church and Bishops. -

Since Representative Wasserman-Schultz speaks for the Democratic Party in her capacity as it's chairman, she has stated her party's official position on abortion and infanticide. I am absolutely aghast that any Catholic would vote for the Democrats in any election, unless they are "cafeteria" Catholics. Would she label HER unborn child as a non-person ? Some needs to ask her THAT question.

This article was outstanding. I enjoyed reading All your posts. Truly, we do not have a problem w/agreement. My concern is: Opening the hearts and minds of others. And to that, Mikem said it well in his posts. Then, there are those that Martin spoke of. I would suggest, that besides Trying to be good practicing Catholics who already fill the pews, we support Right To Life, if we don't already; that perhaps this Personhood USA , is a legal way in through the White House side door, to bring Right To Life to fruition; and lastly, but it certainly bears repeating: Cardinal Burke, third in line to be Holy Father, was quoted as saying these words of wisdom, "...the Democratic Party is becoming a Party of Death". Now, should there be a voting Catholic Democrat among us? Blessings to all...

A Masquerade Ball to Save Venice
Cho Cheng with a model wearing his creation.
This year, the Young Friends of Save Venice, an organization that works to restore Venetian artistic masterpieces, decided to spice things up for its annual fête, foregoing the traditional sit-down dinner at the Upper East Side's Metropolitan Club for a night of cocktails, dessert, and dancing downtown. The party's vast space, which consisted of two rooms and a patio, was littered with small votive candles whose glistening light softly illuminated every surface. Twenty-three-year-old couturier Cho Cheng, whose eponymous line was the presenting sponsor of the event, milled about with a model dressed in one of his gowns, a white meringue-like creation that was almost as sweet as the profiteroles on offer.
The mask designed by Cho Cheng.
Toward the end of the night, as I was complimenting Matthew White of White Webb on his mask, which was covered in white silk flowers, I removed my own one-of-a-kind, hand-painted mask, and set it on the table next to me. But when I turned to pick it up a few minutes later, I found that it had mysteriously disappeared. Someone had stolen it! Upset at having lost such a treasure, I thought, What mask will I wear to my next masquerade ball? I should have placed a bid on Cheng's mask myself.

How to Increase Laptop Battery Backup and Life
Whatever is the configuration of the laptop, the main concern which is most important than any other factor is battery backup. One should know how to increase the battery life time for efficient use of a system. Here are the best ways to boost your battery life time and increase your laptop battery backup.
Also Read: How to Save Battery Life of Android Mobile Phones
Startup programs
After installing any software, most of them goes to startup and starts when windows is switched on. By disabling these unwanted programs on startup we can save 12% of the battery life. So how to disable these programs that start automatically at windows startup.
Press Win+R key ( run command) and type msconfig
Now click the Startup (for windows 8 and 8.1 this feature is listed in task manager, press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open task manager and then click Startup)
Which looks like this:
Now, from the given list disable all the programs that you don't wish to start automatically. (make note that these start up programs reduce system booting time too. So enable only the programs that are very important for you.
Power management
If you're using Windows OS you can change your Power management settings from Balanced to Power saver, which saves your battery energy by reducing the computers performance where ever possible.
You should unplug external devices like external hard drives,USB, mouse, hubs, keyboard,joystick,IR receiver , etc because external devices plugged in to the USB port constantly draws power from the machine.
It's better to put computer in hibernate mode or shutdown mode than in Standby/Sleep mode. Sleepmode sometimes can freeze the computer and it can also affect some peripherals, like Wi-Fi adaptors.
If a laptop is in sleep mode and then battery goes completely flat and RAM cannot be refreshed and we may lose all state.That's why hibernating is better. You will certainly save more energy by shutting it down,it's possible that shutting down and restarting every day can add to wear and tear on the disk which intern leads to a good battery life.
You can save battery Life by turning down the brightness of the screen.Also if you have keyboard backlighting, turn it off.
In windows: search for Adjust screen brightness in start menu as shown below
In Mac: change the screen brightness from display settings
Overheating also leads to battery degradation.Most laptop batteries have lithium-ion batteries that can be harmed by heat . This heat reduces the battery life and with this prolonged exposure of heat the battery may even become unusable. So, to get rid of this heat use Non-USB powered Cooling Pads.
Close unused applications :You can save the battery life by disabling the services like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi,muting the system volume when not in use and closing all unwanted windows and applications which usally puts an additional drain on the laptops battery.
Cleaning the battery terminals also helps you to have a better battery life. Clean the battery metal contacts or terminals with cloth dipped in alcohol in every two months and allow to dry before re –inserting.
However there are many ways to improve laptop battery backup and system battery lifetime. If you have any tips and tricks feel free to share with everyone.

I thought jack had the 1010 on it... However if you mean using zita-i/o,
you can run more than one instance of zita and you can use the same device
for two of them. For example zita-a2j with hw:1,0 and zita-j2a with
hw:1,0. One for inputs and one for outputs (at least it worked for me with
my ensoniq 1370 and my internal ac97 IF). Jack sees one card for inputs
and one for outputs or one for both. You can run as many zita-a2j
instances as you have audio IFs. You can tell each instance what you want
it to call itself on the jack graph too to keep from confusion.
So, if you have hw:4,0 with both input and outputs, that is two zita
instances. Then if you also have hw:4,1 that is only inputs, that can be
another instance and hw:4,2 could be yet another.
Easier to do than explain.

Disney no longer offers airline/interline
I just got off the phone with Disney reservations and they said they no longer offer discounts to airline employees!!..I really think they are going to lose alot of business!:mad:
Sorry but why do airline employees deserve discounts over everyone else?
If every airline employee in the entire world decided never to go to Disney again because they don't get a discount it wouldn't affect Disney at all. They make billions off everyone else.
I think if Disney offers a discount it should be for everyone or nobody. The Swan and Dolphin may offer airline employees a discount. I know they do for cops and teachers. If you want guaranteed discounts you need to be a Florida resident or an annual pass holder. Otherwise you have to wait for a general public discount like everybody else or get a PIN code. |
Doing away with that perk is okay, I also do not thing flight attendants should get special discounts. But Disney has been starting to show their greedy side lately. With cutting back on EMH, lowering the Premium AP discount from 20% to 10%, cutting the monorail hours, and the big one, eliminating the childs AP and charging adult prices for 3-10 year olds:furious: It is our favorite place to vacation at, but they are $50 and $100 us right out of the park.
It's a perk..just like the people at GM and Ford get on new cars and the people that work at stores get a discount
So bad they ended it! Thank goodness I booked for this years trip! It was an awesome benefit for airline industry that funnels thousands of people to their parks every year!
As far as Disney being greedy, they are a business. The whole point is to make money. The last hour of night time EMH the parks were dead. So it was a perk that was costing them money, and having little benefit to the majority of guests. A no brainer to cut a perk so few were using. The goal of any business is to make money. And most businesses are looking for ways to trim whatever fat they can find. Disney is no different. |
The only thing in common an airlines has with WDW is that one provides the destination and the other provides the means to arriving at that destination. The relationship is the same as Coke does with McDonalds. Sorry, but I personally don't feel someone working for an airlines deserves any perk from WDW that is not available to the general public. Just my 2 cents. :) |
People that work in the travel get discounts on hotels, cruises, fly free and discounts on park tickets. It's one of the perks of working in travel industry. There has always been a lot of jealousy on this board so I can see where this thread could turn ugly fast. Nobody ever said they deserved it's just something most hotel chains offer. I'm not sure why Disney got rid of it.
No jealousy here. |

As you may know, ethanol in our gasoline is really bad for lawnmowers as well as cars & trucks. Has anyone ever tried an electric mower for small yards and trim work close to the house? Any brand suggestions or warnings?? |

I used a Black & Decker corded electric on a small yard for years and thought it was great. Don't cross the cord. Start close to the power source and mow back & forth across the yard moving away from the power source. Dealing with the cord was a bother but I never had problems with the mower, started every time the switch was flipped. Good for small yards where a 100' cord will reach everything. No experience with a battery mower but I think I'd opt for the corded version. Replacement batteries can be expensive. |
I love my Black and Decker cordless mower. I used to have a corded mower, and one problem for me was the cord. I don't have any exterior outlets. I would start out with a 100-foot extension plugged in to an outlet in the garage, but to get the far part of the side yard done, I would have to plug in to an outlet in the living room and prop the door open! |

Investigators said MacMannis was under the influence of drugs and alcohol at the time of the fall.
