1974 Chevrolet Impala
ProsStyling, ConsPeople always saying you should be putting 22 inch or larger wheels on, which is stupid. Gas mileage...I get like 11 city, 18 highway.
Awesome Cars. — I think these are the best bang for the buck antique car you can find these days. You can get them cheap and sell them for thousands more. For a big car, they hold the road pretty well and can't be beat for a long trip. You can beef up the suspension pretty nicely on top of that to make them handle like a BMW, well..almost. They last forever, aside from rust issues. If you can find one with high miles that you actually want to drive the wheels off of, they are very easy and inexpensive to maintain. Insurance is cheap too. They turn heads ...everyone gives you the thumbs up and waves. |
1974 Chevrolet Impala
Owner Of A 1974 Impala — The interior is A-Typical for this generation, sporting only the barest of essentials. Putting the climate controls to the left of the steering wheel instead of the right as most later model cars have converted to can become tiresome with a passenger who cannot stay warm or cool. The lack of instrument gauges on this model only leaves you to rely on the "idiot lights" for your piece of mind. The comfort level of the interior is worthy of a cross country drive. This is of course pending your ability to drive long distances with out the luxury of changing positions as with todays power seat's. The ride quality is second to none. It's a HEAVY car weighing in at 5700 lbs and the suspension is top notch. This is with the original delco shocks still at all four corners running on 275/60/15's. As for the performance of my particular car. It has the highly restricted 170hp 400 small block with 2bbl carburator. The power could be improved easily with the exchange of the 2bbl intake and carb with any of the small block chevy 4bbl intakes and a quadrajet. As for the Transmission, it shifts flawlessly and smoothly. This particular car uses a mechanical kick down via a second cable mounted to the gas pedal. This is both nice and not so nice depending on your style of driving. In my case, I have gotten used to being able to "jab" the gas pedal to down shift to 2nd gear for passing. On vaccum operated kick down models the transmission reacts in conjunction with the engine's demands and not the position of the gas pedal. At speeds slower than highway speeds it's any ones guess as to weather the transmission will react to the pedal actuated kick down or try to rely on the engine's power to gain adequate acceleration. I often find that manually shifting into low 2 while accelerating eliminates the hit and miss characteristics of this particular set up. The asthetics of the vehicle are flawless in my opinion. This is a very heavy, very long car who'se lines flow through out the length of the car. It's cadillac like long front and gigantic trunk balance out the appearance of the car well. My particular model is a two door with the solid back side windows and concave rear window.The most asthetically pleasing body style in my opinion. This year produced two body styles in the two door versions and two in the four door configuration. The sport coupe with roll down rear windows and the Impala standard and Custom shared two doors. This was also the year for the Spirit of America of which both the sport coupe and Custom was used. The four door models available were the post and sedan. The post was built with pillars and posts surrounding the windows and a divider support at the joining portion between the two doors. The sedan had no pillar or post and no support around the windows. Giving a full open look to the car with all the windows down. Because of the weight and strength of the post type four door sedan they are very popular with demolition derbies. The Sport Coupe seems to be the style of choice for most of the gear heads and the 2 door standard and customs with the concave rear window and fixed side passenger windows seem to be the style of choice for the Texas Donk. A "pet" name for Impala which derived from the Mexican equivalent for Impala which is Donkey. Somewhere along the lines the "ey" was dropped. Over all, I love the car and it being a very low mileage original makes it hard for me to NOT drive it. But even at the rate I'm going, which is about 6 thousand miles a year, the car will not roll over for another ten and a half years. By this time the car will be nearly 44 years old. I hope those who read these words enjoy the Impala's as much as I do. Owner for 1 years, 0 months Miles Driven per Year:6,000 |

I have been trying to find a two step angel food cake mix for ages. These one step cake mixes are terrible!!!!!!! Please------if anyone knows where you can get a GOOD two step angel food cake mix please advise.
Try the store brand generic type mixes like IGA or Roundys. Most chain stores have them and they are still two step. I agree the newer one step mixes taste awful. I refuse to buy them. I just hope the store brands don't switch over to one step.

All Your Might
All I could do was watch him.
I was mesmerized with his freedom. His inhibition was breath-taking. And as much as I tried to focus, all I could do was smile with joy as this little guy danced his heart out before the Lord.
We'd all been sitting in the heat of the sun watching a professional baseball game for hours, so by the time the band took the stage… we were sweaty, tired and ready to call it a day.
But many were in the bleachers ONLY because it was Faith Day and this band promised a post-game concert. So regardless of how we felt, we were excited to worship with this Grammy-winning group.
My eyes shifted to the little guy's mom who was tamely swaying to the music next to him. It was obvious she didn't feel the same sense of freedom as her son. She was painfully aware others would be watching her… judging her… but this innocent kid didn't have a care in the world…
…I can relate to that mom.
I bet if we were honest, we'd all admit to understanding her inability to feel comfortable jumping around in uninhibited praise.
What if I look stupid?
What if people laugh at me?
What if someone recognizes me?
So often, we allow our insecurities to get in the way of our worship.
We feel moved to raise our hands while singing, but worry others might find us weird. We want to jump up and down with the music, but are certain we'll be labeled a wack-a-doo.
Is this you?
Oh I have been there, too. I've allowed my concern with what others may think to keep me in check. I've fought the internal battle of what I want versus what I think others expect of me.
But the truth is that God moves me… and music grooves me. And so when the two are combined, sometimes I can't contain my joy.
The ability to stay calm and still escapes me, and demonstrative praise erupts. David was the same way.
2 Samuel 6:14 tells us "And David danced before the LORD with all his MIGHT…" (emphasis mine)
"With all his MIGHT" is a very descriptive phrase. It doesn't mean that he just swayed to the music. He didn't snap and clap at the appropriate times and places. David didn't stay calm and collected in his worship.
No. He danced to exhaustion.
He let it all out.
Just like that little kid at the baseball game, he expressed his love and joy with pure abandonment.
We were made to praise in a variety of ways!
I want to encourage you to step out of your comfort zone and not worry what others think. I'm challenging you to let go of the world's definition of the perfect Christian, and just worship your Creator.
"You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your MIGHT." – Deuteronomy 6:5

Carey – I love this visual. I am in constant thought of David – he was defined as "a man after God's own heart." That is what I long for the Lord to proclaim about me!! David danced – this act of worship is part of the Lord's heart and it delights Him. I long for a complete freedom in this area and a heart and flesh response to worship Him in tangible ways at all times without limitations. I got my dancing shoes……. teach me to dance before you Lord.
Jeanelle… i love how David loved God through thick and thin. And I loved how God loved him stumbles, fumbles and all. What a joy-giver!
Carey, What a terrific reminder of a powerful example we have right in Scripture… oh' David, what a guy right? I would say I just started letting loose in worship and in the joy of living just in this past year. What a difference! Thanks for sharing! ~ Blessings out, Amy
Amy… it's been a new experience for me, too. And to be honest… I love that freedom to worship however I feel led. Glad you are experiencing it, too!
I'm reading Weird right now and I think I want to be a bit wack-a-doo for Jesus.
Shannon… L O V E D that book, too! Let's be wack-a-doo together!

"Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things." Philippians 4:8 NASB
Is it possible to cleave to Paul's admonition when confronted by today's popular culture? Sadly, for many followers of Jesus, the answer is no. There are those in the Body of Christ who would say that our response to popular culture should be to avoid everything in popular culture, for fear we might encounter anything which might be remotely worldly. At the risk of offending some readers, I honestly can't say I agree with this stance. We're called to be in the world and not of it -- but we are in it. I have never forgotten a good friend of mine commenting one night that rather than shielding his children from the world, he would much rather have his children be exposed to the dirty reality of what it is like. When I asked him what he meant by that, he explained that he felt strongly that through being exposed to the world (and its sin and wickedness), his son and daughter would have their faith challenged and would grow in that faith as a result.
In his book, The Hollywood Project, author Alex Field points out that,
"Film is, for better or worse, the twenty-first century's dominant form of popular literature. Like verbal storytelling and the oral tradition, theater, narrative fiction, and the music before them, movies dominate our culture's literary landscape almost entirely."
In the 1999 movie "The Straight Story," for example, viewers are introduced to the true story of Alvin Straight, a 73-year old man with bad hips and failing eyesight, who makes a 370-mile trip across Iowa -- riding a John Deere lawnmower! Alvin makes this 6-week journey to seek reconciliation with his brother Lyle, who has suffered a stroke; Alvin and Lyle have not spoken to each other in ten years. Alvin explains this estrangement by saying, "It's a story as old as the Bible, as Cain and Abel ... anger, vanity, mixed with liquor. I want to make peace." So off he goes, at 4 miles an hour, on a road trip that will take him 6 weeks. Along the way, the hardships Alvin encounters are many: his friends try to talk him out of it, his hip gives out, and the lawn mower even breaks down.
Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation ... " 2 Corinthians 5:18 NASB
I'm always eager to discuss and compare notes on various films. This past spring, I had a great conversation with a pastor who pointed out some amazing spiritual dimensions to the classic Paul Newman film "Cool Hand Luke." In what ways have you, dear reader, been able to use film as a stepping off point to discuss God, faith, or other spiritual themes? Got a favorite film that you've found useful? Share!

Destined for Cooperstown
By Trevor Hayes
It sometimes seems that things here in Cooperstown are just destined to go right.
Don't get me wrong, the staff at the Baseball Hall of Fame is extremely dedicated, very knowledgeable and good at what they do – executing plans to make the Hall of Fame perfect. But some stories take an extra little bit of chance to become truly special. My most recent example came Monday in the form of a donation by my mother of some photos of two current Royals stars, including 2009 Cy Young winner Zack Greinke.
As a native Kansas Citian, it takes a holiday or other big event to see my family. But after last year's Hall of Fame Classic, I knew I had to get my parents to Cooperstown for the 2010 event. Not just to celebrate Father's Day with my dad – sharing a game we both love – but to reconnect that baseball bond with my mother too, who played countless hours of catch with me in the backyard while waiting for dad to get home form work and take me to practice.
At every opportunity, I pestered them about a trip out. In late September, I went to a wedding and on the Sunday after, my family went to Kauffman Stadium. Greinke was starting and I hadn't seen him in person all season. I'd followed his year from the scoreless streak in April to his 1-0 complete game loss in Anaheim when he had pitches touch every speed from 66 to 96 mph. I tuned in early to the All-Star Game to make sure I didn't miss a second. I wished people at work "Happy Greinke Day" on the days he started. It was can't miss TV and I shared it with my parents, chatting about my hometown team throughout the season.
On that warm September day, Greinke was his usual self. He went seven innings and allowed just one run. He struck out eight, including eventual batting champ and MVP Joe Mauer twice. During the game, my mom snapped some photos with her new camera.
Before leaving Missouri over the holidays, she slipped an envelope into my bag. Inside were photos she'd printed of family and my girlfriend and I. The last couple were photos of Greinke and 2008 All-Star Joakim Soria. I was surprised. My mother has always been creative, knitting and doing flower arrangements. I'd even seen her still-life and nature photos. But her action shots were exceptional, especially since they were from Row Double-S.
Just before the start of the 2010 season, I got my parents to commit to a visit during Father's Day. At the same time, our staff updates our Today's Game exhibit, outfitting the lockers with artifacts from the previous season. Shortly after the update I was reminded of the photos when I saw hanging in the Royals locker a powder blue jersey – the team's staple attire for home day games. Greinke gave the Hall of Fame his jersey from his final home start, which turned out to be the last win of his Cy Young campaign.
It had crossed my mind that my mom should donate the photos, and now I was sure. Her photos are of Greinke wearing the same jersey that's on exhibit. I called and told her that when they came for the Hall of Fame Classic, she should donate the photos. Worried about the quality, she wasn't so sure.
On Monday, my mother, father and myself presented her five prints – three of Greinke and two of Soria – to photo archivist Pat Kelly. Pat gushed. The quality was professional level and they filled a void in the archives – neither player had hard copy files. The fact that Greinke is wearing the same jersey that's in the collection sweetened the deal.
A bit of chance played into my trip in September happening in the same weekend of the Royals final home stand. Luck let the rotation fall just right. And by coincidence or fate, my family is extremely proud of my mother and we now have a special moment to cap a great weekend in Cooperstown.

Tales from the Cactus League
By Jeff Idelson
I am so glad Spring Training is here, even if it was warmer in Cooperstown than in the desert for a few of the days I visited Arizona last week. Boy did I miss baseball. And in my job, I am so fortunate to have the opportunity to rub elbows with so many of the game's greats, bringing them closer to the Hall of Fame.
I got to see the Giants, Brewers, White Sox, Mariners, Indians, Reds, Royals and Rangers all play.
It was great to see the two reigning Cy Young award winners – Tim Lincecum and Zack Greinke – pitch. I brought Tim plaque postcards of Sandy Koufax and Jim Palmer. Why? They are the only Hall of Famers to win back-to-back Cy Young Awards. Perhaps they will help inspire Tim, not that he needs inspiration.
Before the Cactus League opener in Peoria, I visited my friends in the Mariners clubhouse: Head athletic trainer Rick Griffin and I talked about the health of his players; Ken Griffey Jr. told me he expected Ichiro to get twice as many regular season hits as he would – including spring training. "I'm aiming for 150 hits," said Junior. "Have you seen Ichiro get hot? You turn around, and he's gone 15-for-25. If anyone can get 300 hits, it's him." I don't doubt Griffey's sense of logic, having seen Ichiro play so many times.
Did you ever take an advanced or AP class in high school? I took AP Baseball last week with Professor Ryan. Nolan and I sat together for the Rangers-Royals game, where he gave me a breakdown of every player on the field. I had a similar experience a few days later with White Sox owner and Hall of Fame Board member Jerry Reinsdorf, who invited me to sit with him, his vice chairman, Eddie Einhorn, and his special assistant, Dennis Gilbert, the former agent for George Brett. I now know where the White Sox's strengths and weaknesses lie. Bobby Brett, George's brother, joined us.
We held our annual Cactus League Champions event in Goodyear, where the Indians and Reds train. It's a great complex. The Indians were very generous in hosting our Champions, those who support us with an annual donation of $5,000 or more.
Team President Paul Dolan and assistant GM Chris Antonetti addressed our group and let them know what to expect from the Indians this year. After the game, we all had dinner with Bob Feller and Fergie Jenkins, where they regaled the group with stories, photos and autographs.
Speaking of dinners, Billy Williams, Ryne Sandberg, Fergie and their wives joined me for dinner the night before. We toasted to a good 2010 Cubs team and the Williams' 50th wedding anniversary. Quite a feat for the Williamses, a lovely couple.
On my first night in Arizona, I was joined by Mickey Morabito and Steve Vucinich from the A's, Gary Hughes, the Cubs scout, Roland Hemond, the long-time Bill Veeck disciple who works for the Diamondbacks, and veteran writers Bob Nightengale, of USA Today, and Spink Award winner Tracy Ringolsby. We get together each spring to talk about scouting and the game today. We used to dine each year at the Pink Pony, a popular old-school steakhouse on North Scottsdale Road that finally closed its doors. We miss the Pony.
On my final evening, I hosted the dinner to end all dinners, at Don & Charlie's, a popular Scottsdale hangout with great steaks and ribs. We had a large group that included Bob Uecker, Rollie Fingers, Robin Yount and his brother Larry, George Brett and his guest Joe Randa, Mike Murphy, the Giants' clubhouse man since Day One in San Francisco, Brad Ziegler, my friend who pitches in the A's bullpen, Jerry, Eddie and Dennis from the White Sox, and Bob Crotty, who is a generous Hall of Fame supporter and owner of Green Diamonds Gallery in Cincinnati, an exquisite baseball gallery of artifacts and art.
Just before we were getting ready to sit down to dinner, Uecker calls me from his cell phone to let me know he invited two other mutual friends – Bob Costas and Joe Torre.
We had a great dinner and talked about the Dodgers impending trip to Taiwan, told Yogi stories, heard all about the Olympics, and tried to recollect if Torre and Fingers ever faced each other. "Did I ever face you?" Joe asked? "I can't recall," was Rollie's response.
So, I emailed Freddy Berowski in the Hall of Fame Library. Sorry Joe: You faced Rollie one time in the regular season, on May 1, 1977, and struck out. You also faced him in the 1973 All-Star Game and popped out in the 9th. None-the-less, you remain one the game's greatest players, managers and ambassadors and it's hard to imagine you won't be in Cooperstown one day.

Records falling before leaves
By Trevor Hayes
August is ending, the postseason is around the corner, records are starting to fall and today's stars are joining the legends of yesteryear.
Back in the News: Two weeks after becoming the sixth player to belt 400 homers with a .320 average, Vladimir Guerrero recorded his 1,000th hit for the Angels – the eighth player in franchise history to do so. With 1,215 hits as an Expo, he's the second player to collect 1,000 hits for a single team in both leagues. As a Padre and then a Yankee, Hall of Famer Dave Winfield was the first. Aside from Guerrero, Manny Ramirez is the only active player with 1,000 for two teams (Indians and Red Sox).
Also this week – at 34 years, 194 days old – Guerrero recorded his 1,300th RBI. Since divisional play began in 1969, only eight players have reached the mark at a younger age: Alex Rodriguez, Ken Griffey Jr., Juan Gonzalez, Ramirez, Sammy Sosa and Jeff Bagwell along with Hall of Famers Jim Rice and Eddie Murray.
Sox-Yanks: Baseball's premiere rivalry provided an offensive showcase last weekend. Friday's 20-11 slugfest was significant. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the two clubs combined 31 runs, was the most in a single game in the over 100 year history of the rivalry. The previous mark was July 29, 1903, with the Highlanders beating the Americans 15-14 at Huntington Avenue Grounds – almost nine years before Fenway Park opened.
Hideki Matsui paced New York's 23-hit attack with a pair of three-run jacks and seven RBI. It was the most by a Yankee at Fenway since Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig in 1930.
Not to be outdone, the Sox fired back. Kevin Youkilis contributed two homers and six RBI in a 14-1 victory over the Yankees on Saturday. Over the last 70 years, only Hall of Famer Carlton Fisk has hit two home runs and driven in at least six against the Bronx Bombers. Pudge did it on April 6, 1973 in a 15-5 rout at Fenway.
A good start: The Royals Zack Greinke is a long way away from 3,000 strikeouts, but on Tuesday night he recorded a performance that four of the members of the 3,000 strikeout club never did. Greinke sat down 15 Indians to break a single-game club record en route to recording his 700th career strikeout. And while 705 career strikeouts isn't even a quarter of the way to 3,000, the 15 strikeouts for the 25-year-old Greinke represent a single-game feat Hall of Famers Don Sutton, Phil Niekro and Ferguson Jenkins and recent retiree Greg Maddux – all members of the 3,000 strikeout club – never accomplished.
Arms race: John Smoltz will make his second start as a Cardinal tonight. When he debuted last Sunday, he became the ninth former Cy Young Award winner to play under Tony La Russa. Between the White Sox, Athletics and Cardinals, La Russa has had two Cy Young winners make it to the Hall of Fame: Dennis Eckersley and Tom Seaver. Joe Torre is the only other manager with nine or more Cy Young winners on his staffs.

MEDFORD, Ore. – The clock is winding down to the end of the Coats For Kids Campaign. There are just hours left to donate a new or gently coat to keep a local child warm this winter.
Even the smallest donation from a small person can make a big difference. Coats of all sizes are coming in on Thursday, the final day of the Coats For Kids Campaign. The last day of the drive follows the pattern seen throughout the month as thousands of Southern Oregonians donate their coats to keep local children warm this winter.
Still, it is not enough. As the drive nears its end we are still in need of size small and medium coats, specifically sizes 8-10 for girls. Although there is only one more day for you to throw a coat in the bin, the work is just getting started for the volunteers who will make sure these coats go to local children in need.
You can donate through the end of the night at any barrel throughout Southern Oregon. For a full list of donation sites, click here.

Out-of-this-world advocate

TV icon George Takei talks politics, Donald Trump and sexy Starfleet uniforms
Best known for playing Mr Sulu on the original Star Trek television series, George Takei has become a vocal advocate for gay rights since he came out in 2005.
With roles in Will & Grace and Heroes, appearances on reality shows such as this year's Celebrity Apprentice and his job as the announcer for the Howard Stern Show, Takei has connected with a whole new generation of fans and made a name for himself as an internet pundit. His Facebook page has more than 1.6 million fans.
Takei was recently in Toronto to accept an award from the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre on the eve of his 75th birthday. He also chatted with Xtra's Matt Thomas about his out-of-this-world career.
Xtra: What was your experience like growing up and coming to terms with your sexuality?
George Takei: I was a young actor who wanted to be an actor. You're always auditioning for people who are concerned about ratings or box office sales who see many people who are equally as hungry to be cast. And there is no assurance of getting cast, but there is assurance of getting rejected. Maybe out of 20 auditions you might get cast once. I've been rejected for all kinds of crazy reasons: too fat, too skinny, too tall, too short, even too Asian or not Asian enough. You want to minimize being too much this or that, so you were certainly not going to be open about that part of yourself, and thus you play the role of the heterosexual and you live a double life. You go to parties and premiere with a very dear "girlfriend," but then you're going to bars on the downlow. When you're out, of course, you run into acting colleagues, but we were cool and we pretended not to see each other. I'm of that generation where we were very, very closeted and we played a role in our private life just like we did in front of the camera or on stage.
Other than the Star Trek universe, nowhere seems as full of out-of-this world characters and galactic drama as a gay bar. Do you remember the first time you ever went to one?
I was about 21 in Los Angeles and it was more than just a gay bar. I remember the name of the place: it was called the Honey Bucket, and there were gorgeous young guys, stark naked on the bar dancing, and it was the most erotic experience. I couldn't resist it and I reached out and touched one of them, and I was called to task for it because apparently I wasn't supposed to touch. You're the first one I've confessed this to.
You boldly went where no man was supposed to go.
Oh yes, oh my.
How has the entertainment industry treated you since you've become such a public gay figure?
I thought it would be more difficult, and I certainly got my share of hate mail and the Bible thumpers shouting at me, but I expected that. But the kind of responses I've gotten from producers and studio heads has been quite unexpected. Certainly, when I got the invitation from Howard Stern to be a part of his show I had to think long and hard, but it was an opportunity for me to reach a whole new demographic: straight, decent people that don't think about the challenges we face -- reaching them through Howard's listenership has been tremendously rewarding. I've gotten letters from unexpected places in the Bible Belt from straight guys, who are married with children, who say they support me and will vote against any politicians that are homophobic and will support those that are gay-friendly. Those kinds of letters are very heartening.
What about those Starfleet uniforms you wore on the show? Were they sexy garments to wear?
Not only did I enjoy wearing them, but we had some gorgeous extras on the set. There were these guys with fantastic builds wearing those tight suits. I remember when I first discovered that Walter Koenig (Chekov) knew I was gay. In the morning we got our makeup put on and then we gathered around the coffee urn to stand around and chit chat while we drank. One day, all of a sudden Walter started making these head movements, urging me to turn around and look behind me, and I wondered what he was doing. When I turned around there was this gorgeous young thing wearing a Starfleet uniform with great pectorals and this tiny little waist, and I'm sure he was washboard and he had a face to die for. So I turned back to Walter and he was grinning, and that's when I knew he knew.
Did you have a chance to talk to Donald Trump about his thoughts on gay marriage when you were on Celebrity Apprentice this year?
Donald doesn't want to have that lunch with me until after the whole show is over this season. But I'm planning on having lunch with him in late May when we have the finale. We shall see. Donald can be a particularly helpful person because he's influential in the Republican arena and he's someone who knows the way the wind is blowing. We had design challenges on the show, and the consultants we had were clearly gay, so he's had different associations with gay people and the gay community and he does business with gay people, so I'd like to think he likes to see how things are changing, especially in New York.
You've worked with young gay actors and entertainers like Jim Parsons, Chris Colfer and Clay Aiken. What's that been like for you, considering your age and your level of participation in the community?
We're supportive of each other, despite the fact we have different audiences. Clay is a Republican and he lives in North Carolina and he has a son. I think that it's wonderful that he is doing what I wanted to do but couldn't do when I was his age. I love young people, especially younger heterosexual people, because they are the ones who are going to be producing the gay babies of the future.

Wow, clearly some female
has it out for Gay George. Changing the name on her posts isn't very convincing at all.
Apr 25, 2012 at 03:21pm
Get your information correct, George!
Say it with me. Democrat! Lets say it slow. D E M O C R A T not Republican. Clay has always been a DEMOCRAT!
Apr 25, 2012 at 01:53pm
reread the article
George did not say gay people making gay babies. Go back and read again...slower this time. He said "heterosexual people..........producing the gay babies of the future"(that's exactly how it happens) This is how misinformation gets spread everywhere...readers just skim the article and fill in the spaces with imaginary information. I think George and Clay are both great people and I love that they speak up for what they truly believe.
Apr 25, 2012 at 12:20pm
handsome man
You were a very handsome young man and you have aged beautifully. I enjoyed you on CA. I guess you know by now that Clay is a strong democrat. Haha. I'm a claymate, I love Clay. I think you both are great men.
Apr 25, 2012 at 11:48am
You Need A Fact Checker
George...you need to pay attention. Clay Aiken is NOT a republican...never was and probably never will be. He is a vocal and active Democrat.I am so disappointed that you would talk about gay people making gay babies...what an ignorant thing to say!!
Apr 25, 2012 at 11:23am
gay babies
"gay babies of the future"???? Are you freaking serious? So gay men make gay babies? Gimme a break.
Apr 25, 2012 at 11:16am
No way!
Clay Aiken is a lifelong Democrat. Where on earth did you get such misinformation!??
Apr 25, 2012 at 11:02am
Clay Aiken has ALWAYS been a progressive Democrat!
For goodness sake, George, read Clay's book! He's NEVER been a Republican, or even an Independent, unlike his Republican family members. He's been a self-proclaimed Democrat since his teen years.
Apr 25, 2012 at 10:57am
Clay? Republican? NOT
Must get this out into the ethernet. Clay Aiken is a registered Democrat. He is not a republican.
Apr 25, 2012 at 10:54am
Clay is a Democrat!
Um George - Clay is a WELL KNOWN Democrat. He has campaigned for causes near an dear to the LGBT hearts and minds of people in NC and everywhere else and has talked openly about being Democrat.

Thomas Norton Bremble, resident of Kiawah Island, S.C. and Doylestown, Pa., succumbed to complications from pneumonia, Friday, March 14, 2014. He was 74.
Tom is survived by his wife, Nancy; his sons, Thomas Jr. and Christopher; grandchildren Kathryn and Andrew; and his brother, Ted.
In lieu of a public memorial, the family asked to share their remembrances of Tom:
Tom was born Thomas Norton Bremble to Alfred Frederick Bremble and Christine Norton Bremble Jan. 15,1940, in Plainfield, N.J. An Eagle Scout, he attended Plainfield elementary and secondary schools and graduated from University School in Shaker Heights, Ohio. During secondary school, both in Plainfield and at US, he proved to be an outstanding football player. Later, he graduated from Denison University, Granville, Ohio, where he was a member of Sigma Chi fraternity.
Tom's entire career was spent in sales and marketing in the field of flexible packaging where he became a highly-regarded specialist and pioneer. He worked for a number of U.S. Corporations, including Continental Can, Chase Bag, American Packaging... retiring as senior vice president of sales, The Bemis Company, Inc.
Tom married his wife Nancy - they met on a blind date - in 1964 and three years later had the first of their two sons, Tom Jr. Their second son, Christopher, followed in 1970. The family moved from Chagrin Falls, Ohio to Doylestown in 1976, and settled into the community. Tom and Nancy later built a second home on Kiawah Island.
Often on the road for work, Tom was happiest at home - either Doylestown or Kiawah - surrounded by family and friends, organizing the garage, mowing the lawn (making sure the lines were straight if someone else did it), coaching his son's soccer team or playing golf at Doylestown Country Club. Evenings were spent grilling burgers on the patio or relaxing beside the fireplace with a cocktail, music emanating from the living room, the family's Irish Setter nearby. He was always 'family first', taking attendance ahead of holidays, making sure everyone was at the table for dinner, dressed for church, packed and ready for vacations. Tom made sure the boys had new shoes ahead of a job interview, gas in the tank, money in their pocket, and the benefit of his encouragement. He was our captain, our compass and our hero, making sure the details of our lives were checked and double checked: that we were safe, healthy, secure and hopeful.
Tom lived a deliberate life and wasn't easily swayed; cocktails at 5 p.m., whether on the road in Ireland, in a boat on the Chesapeake or enjoying nature on the back porch in Kiawah. He preferred everything in its right place, lining up cigarette butts in his ashtray, keeping everything on his desk at right angles and making sure the family arrived in time to secure his favorite pew at Doylestown Presbyterian Church. His closest friends were few but friends for life; the gourmet club, the golf gang, the tennis group, the annual pilgrimage to Penn State. His heart - large by any measure - was full of integrity, warmth and sentiment, but above all it was a private heart: those who had the privilege to enter felt his grace and kindness. His love anchored by 48 years of marriage to Nancy - was gentle and boundless. Husband, father, brother and friend, he will be achingly, lovingly missed. We were so fortunate to have had our time with him.
The family wishes to acknowledge Dr. Richard Kondan and the nurses in Acute Care at Doylestown Hospital for their kindness and care during this time.
Donations in Tom's memory may be made to Doylestown Hospital, Development Office, 595 W. State St., Doylestown PA 18901.
A private memorial will be held in Doylestown in the near future - the date and time to be determined.
Online condolences to the family may be sent to: shellyfuneralhomes.com

FInally something to post
Hello everyone,
I have been lurking so long that I feel like I know people here. Who knew that TNlady, Mizzou, Pinecrest, Allison etc etc would actually influence the house we are building. And yet here I am, after I think maybe 2000 hours (that might be a bit shy) of reading this forum, feeling like I have found a resource worth it's weight in gold.
So tomorrow we start to dig. We are supposed to be framed in by the first of July - and I am hoping to just ride with the ebb and flow of the building journey. Here are our floor plans for you to view as well as some pics of the kitchen we bought (a display in which we will be adding a bunch)and a couple of before pics.
Hope you like them. I am so thrilled to be able to share with people who aren't sick of hearing me talk about my house.
Here is a link that might be useful: Jazz's photos
I think I need a tissue...aren't you sweet. Thanks! Congrats on your groundbreaking tomorrow. You'll be packing up before you know it.
We've had such a pleasant experience building. Our GC and all of our subs couldn't have been better...okay, maybe the plumbers (faster) and the roofers (they could learn to speak English!).
Keep posting pictures, I'd love to see your progress! I love your elevations. Allison
Here, Allison. Use my handkerchief. It may be a little dirty cuz I just came in from mowing.
So anyway, back to this new house. Thanks for the pics and update. What part did I help with? Just being nosey, don't want to put you on the spot. Happy Building.
Allison- Thanks re the elevations. The house will be a deep wine board and batten with taupe windows and accents. I have bits and pcs of lots of peoples houses on my computer for reference (loved the lights from SchoolHouse Electric for example).
Mizzou - where do I start? The entire FAQ that is printed and in my binder and used to make me sound as if I know what I am talking about, or your deep love of gravy...
Glad we could help...though we're not sure what we did!! Well, that's not unusual. Must be all the Gravy. Or maybe the Jack ;)>>>
I absolutely love the look of the house and the kitchen. Can't see the floor plan very well but you seem to have good taste so I'm sure it's fine!!
Don't cry too much today and do go buy a best bottle of champange (I prefer Korbel Brut!!) to celebrate. It's a day you will never forget.
TNLAdy -And cry I did. And a very large drink I will have. I think I'll save the Brut till move in day. For now I will stick with the hard stuff.
I updated my floor plan shots - hopefully they are easier to see.
Mizzou- I will definietely take you up on that!
I occasionally pop by this forum and by-chance took a look at your photos. Now, I've seen ALOT of kitchens after spending over a year at the KF and yours is honestly just magnificent. Are your cabinets custom? What exactly is the flooring in the kitchen? Countertops? Details, please give me details! Thanks!
Thanks Pauline!
Well you won't believe it. I totally lucked out. That is actually a display I bought. The company that I bought it from was changing their showroom. I stopped in and bought all of those cabinets with the counter tops,island, cook stove and warming oven for 12K Canadian. they are solid cherry cupboards. The island is granite. Counters are Corian. As the kitchen is only a 10x10 and our kitchen is considerably larger -2.5 times bigger - we are using those cupboards and adding others from the same manufacturer. I have a floor to ceiling(9') pantry going in, a buffet and 6 large shelves on either side of the window (I am a dish fanatic and have a lot of bowls and platters, etc I want to display) When I have some time I will post my kitchen plan. In the end it will cost around 30K Canadian. It is exactly what I wanted. I think it has 18 drawers and 24 cupboards. I will be putting rod iron brackets and knobs - 3 styles on the drawers. The company does custom work. They are called Acorn Kitchens and they are in Canada.

I absolutely LOVE your home elevations. I can't wait to see it built! One of my neighbors has a deep wine colored house and it's been my favorite . I think I'm more excited about your home than mine. While I like mine, I feel I have to follow the area of the country for resale. And, I just can't have that much fun with it. What is your setting?
Thank you so much for your kind words! We are pretty psyched too! Mind you the stress is something that I could do without! :) I said to my DH today that I am tired of having butterflies in my stomach!
There are a few pictures on the webiste that show our land. In "day 4" there is a pic of our view. and also lots mor in "before the build" We have 50 acres with a maple bush and natural apple orchard included. DH convinced me we should buy it almost 2 yrs ago and I'm glad he did.
What are you building?
Hi, Your site looks very private. 50 acres is nice. What are your plans for the apple orchards? I have one apple tree in my yard now. It's full of apples this year. It seems to be full every other year. Which is good because I get sick of so many apples on the busy years.
I'm building a 1 1/2 story brick southern style home. It will have big columns in the front, and a large brick dormer up ,flanked by 2 smaller wood dormers. The trim is white, not sure yet what the brick will be except that it needs to be oversized and tumbled. I just don't want it to look like a bank. I have a halfround window in the ccenter dormer. Any ideas for an interesting "munton" design? So far I'm thinking spider web type. But, that's very traditional. I'd like to modernize the look a little, and still not get kicked out of the neighborhood.

the task or the moment?
In the Courageous Living Program, I talk about orienting your life to prioritize what matters, most.
When you get clear on your vision for your life and start to prioritize that, the ruminating and second-guessing and all of the "trying to figure it out" stuff of life starts to fall away.
Here is priority #1 in my life: my kid. My sweet little daughter who just basically wants to smile and interact with people and be curious about the world.
Like any mom will tell you, this means that sometimes, things can get complicated. This can get particularly complicated if you run a business.
It hit me how complicated this could be when I looked around and realized that I was not just running Your Courageous Life. I am also the Editor of the Coaching Blueprint.com website, and the creator and lead facilitator of the Courageous Coaching Training Program. This fall, I signed on to be one of the first people to lead a Desire Map workshop.
And somewhere in all of that, I'm caring for my child. And, just like you–doing all the stuff like laundry, cleaning up the kitchen, taking my car for an oil change, grocery shopping, making dinner, and hopefully spending some time with my husband. And somewhere in there, hopefully remembering to take my probiotics and use the foam roller (I use the Commit app to remind me, every day, because otherwise I'm hopeless and forget), and once a week I'd like to get to yoga, and at some point I'm convinced that I'll establish a regular triathlon training schedule, again (this last might be a bit of fantastical thinking for at least a few more months).
What Getting Clear Allows
But here's what I'm clear on: Priority #1. My kid.
And so here's what hit me on one of those average, ordinary days when my brain was buzzing with emails that needed to be answered and questions that the life coach trainees had posted to our private boards and I wanted to remember to transfer the laundry from the washer to the dryer and I had an oil change:
Am I choosing the task or the moment ?
I could feel that tight feeling across my chest and in my shoulders, the feeling that indicates that my breathing is short and shallow.
I was hustling to get the diaper bag packed and I hadn't had lunch yet and– and– and–
I look at my daughter. She smiles at me. She's in absolutely no rush.
I soften. I smile back.
I could hustle to get to that oil change appointment right on time. Or to see if I can fit in one more laundry swap or one more email check before we leave.
But you know, when I look back on my life, I really don't want to say that those are the things that I chose.
I don't want to be remembered as "Kate, who always made it to her oil changes on time."
I'd like my daughter to always remember that I took time to stop. To breathe. To soften. To smile.
I'd like her to learn how to do that for herself, too. She'll only learn that if I model it, first*.
The Task, or The Moment?
So this is my mantra on those busy-busy-busy, go-go-go kinds of days:
The task, or the moment? Task, or moment? Task, or moment?
Note that this choice takes a certain level of faith and trust. Trust that the laundry will get done (and faith that you'll survive, if it doesn't). Trust that your business is going to be fine (and faith that you'll survive, if it's not).
There's no short-cut to trust or faith. No one has any "better circumstances" that make trust and faith easier a place from which to live.
It's a choice, just like any other.
The task, or the moment?
I know what my #1 priority is. As long as I'm honoring that priority, I wake up each morning feeling proud of myself, living my life in integrity.
It can be a courageous choice, but in the end–that's what I call winning at life.
*Since I also want to model not inconveniencing others by bailing on commitments, this was a relatively simple fix–calling the service department to see if I could change my appointment. In a world where people abuse and mis-use self-help, this is also worth noting.
the abuse and mis-use of self-help
It's one of the classic self-help exercises: you write a letter to someone you're furious at, letting them know every little thing that they've done wrong. You let it all hang out. You tell them in no uncertain terms how screwed up their behavior was.
And then, you burn it.
There's a really important reason why you burn the letter–because actually sending it to the person is a shit-stirring maneuver that amplifies the drama. Also, it's hypocritical (you're doing to them what you didn't want done, to you). Finally, it's point-blank unkind.
To send that letter would be an abuse and mis-use of self-help; it would take the entire point of the exercise, and turn it on its head.
We live in times where self-help is exploding. More and more people are becoming life coaches, and Oprah's got a channel dedicated to "living your best life."
And sometimes, because we're human and fallible, people take the concepts of self-help and abuse and mis-use them, turning what could be medicine inside-out until it's poison.
The Classic Scenarios
Using "I'm speaking my truth" to tell someone off; to berate, to chastise, to put someone down.
Using "I needed to practice self-care" to get out of a commitment (when the real issue is poor time management and planning). Sadly, life coaches do this all of the time…to other life coaches.
Using "You need to take responsibility for your choices" to take the focus off of yourself, to minimize someone else's feelings, or to victim-blame.
Using "you should believe that there's enough for everyone" as a justification for copying (or very closely copying) someone else's work.
Making a request and saying that there's no attachment to outcome (the response), and then getting totally pissed when someone says "no," or deciding to judge them as being selfish (happens all of the time for coaches when someone requests a free product/service/session and if the coach says no, the person making the request acts like the coach is a miserly Scrooge who has issues with sharing).
Getting upset with someone simply because they disagreed with you, declaring that they "don't support" you or your goals.
Running up a ton of debt on things that you don't really need, because "it's important to prioritize feeling good."
These are all examples of taking a great concept, and twisting it inside-out until it does more harm than good.
Feeling Good or "feeling good"?
There's "feeling good" and then there's Feeling Good.
"Feeling good" is all of the above. It's using "I need to speak my truth" to make someone feel bad…which, if you're honest, only ever makes you feel…bad.
Then there's Feeling Good, which uses "I need to speak my truth" as a pivot point for greater clarity and connection in a relationship. Someone might not like it, but when the truth is delivered with kindness, you'll know in your bones that you can feel proud of what you said.
Somatic Clarity
Of course, anyone reading this has got to be wondering, "Since 'feeling good' can be so illusory, how do I know whether or not I'm doing it? And how can I get more Feeling Good happening?"
It's allll about somatics.
Developing the skill of somatic awareness is a hugely potent super-power. I've written about somatic awareness, before .
When you want to know the difference between "feeling good" and Feeling Good, it's all about how you feel in your body (because your body doesn't lie).
If I bail on a commitment due to poor planning and find myself telling the person, "I needed to cancel this in order to practice self-care," I feel like a schmuck as the words are coming out of my mouth.
That's somatic awareness. It's knowing that the feeling of being totally out of integrity is actually the worst feeling there is, and that any time I compromise on myself in that department, I'm going to feel awful.
That feeling awful? That's the sign that my choice is "feeling good" rather than Feeling Good.
While it might be awkward to tell the truth ("I did a poor job of planning my week and now I'm completely overwhelmed, and I'm choosing to cancel because I want to correct that with some self-care. I'm really sorry about that"), it still feels better than the lie of making it seem as if you're under the knuckle of some unavoidable circumstances.
Feeling Good is actually rooted in taking responsibility for your choices. It's knowing why you're making them, grounding in them, owning them wholly and completely.
"Feeling good" is the sucker's game, the siren song of "Life is hard and owes me something, and it's hard to face that, so quick! over here! let me 'feel good' with this shiny new distraction!"
Just so that we're clear: it's your divine birthright to wake up in the morning Feeling Good. It feels good to Feel Good!
Where we get askew with self-help–which is what slants towards abuse and mis-use–is when we get stuck in dogma, using a concept to justify our own behaviors.
Feeling Good isn't about dogma or justification. Feeling Good is about being in flow with your life.
You won't know it when you see it–you'll know it when you Feel it.
live from where the truth resides
So, Fabeku just nicely summed up how I run my business. Here he is:
The day that I decided I was done with client no-shows, late payments, offering a gazillion different freebies to prove my worth before a client would decide to work together, holding back in a session for fear that a client would get upset if I stopped colluding with her story that she couldn't create what she wanted to create in her life, not fully being myself in blog posts, running "giveaways" and every other manner of salesy gimmicks just because business "experts" said I should…the day that I decided that that wasn't worth it, anymore, everything changed.
A core idea behind the Coaching Blueprint digital marketing program, is this: if you're not running your business, your way, it doesn't matter how much money you make (also, you're probably not making much money. Money is slow in coming when people are inauthentic).
Here's a little love note that I received the other day:
"I'm reading the Blueprint, just got it yesterday, thinking, "What the hell. Good people are recommending this; you're at a crossroads, tired and bored of your business. You've meant to go back to coaching for some time. Read it."
And so I did and am. And as I read, I want to hug you often.
I'm not a gushy person, generally, but the honesty with which you talk about yourself is really doing wonders for me, seeing the same thought patterns, observations, and complete UNWILLINGNESS not to be 100% aligned with what I do in life anymore.
There is more, deeper fulfillment, and I know it, and it's gotta work for me, or Hell, why are we in this game.
So I thank you for offering me a mirror in a kind voice, smart eyes and clearly, generous heart. I appreciate it."
The same is true for my life coach training program. People have told me they'd sign up if it was less money (even though costs only a third of other training programs, but I digress); they'd do it if the calls were on a different day; they'd do it if life wasn't so busy right now.
And honestly? Those are all completely legitimate reasons to wait on diving in to something. I don't mind. I think that it's good when people are honoring themselves and their needs.
But at the same time, I also recognize if this is not a clear, resonant, YES, it's not the right fit. If you want something badly enough, you'll find a way to get it.
In fact, if it's a resonant YES, you'll feel it in your body. Your body doesn't lie. When it's the right fit, it's molecular. Every cell knows when the truth of what you desire is right there, and every cell knows when you're cheating yourself by keeping yourself from what you want.
The excitement can barely be held back (and right on the tail end of that, the fear, because that's what happens when you're stepping out into the unknown).
In short:
Yes, you could be more accommodating and find endless ways to change things up so that everyone gets exactly what they want–but really, you'll never feel quite right about that. Not deep down. Not where the truth resides.
So there it is. Live from the place where the truth resides. Set up your career, your business from that place. Set up your relationship from that place. When you connect to that, and live from that, it is impossible to go astray.

"A pleasure to deal with"Hi, I should be getting my purchase tomorrow, but I just wanted to say I've really enjoyed my shopping experience due to one of your staff, Frances, in the call center. She was both knowledgeable about the products as well as very efficient and helpful, and generally just a pleasure to deal with. I'm looking forward to receiving my purchase but so far, I couldn't have wished for a better experience! Kind Regards,

"The most professional and organized company"
Hi, I wasnt sure how to send in a Testimonial so hope its ok I send it this way, I know there was a comment section on the delivery form when the TV arrived but didnt want to write anything until I had tested the TV. I received my TV in perfect condition and the delivery was very fast (despite a mix up with TVs on Thursday morning) but the driver stayed in contact with me to let me know of a time frame the TV would be delivered and also rang me to let me know about the mix up and to tell me my TV would be delivered the next morning which is I very happy about. Big Brown Box has to be the most professional and organized company I have ever had the pleasure buying through. There werent any hassles with paying for the TV over the phone and the emails with my order and the delivery were VERY detailed and specific which I loved. I have now tested my new Panasonic Viera 50 inch Full HD Plasma TV for normal viewing and also movies and I am extremely happy with my purchase. Thank You

Virginia Beach, VA (September 3, 2013) – Sentara Virginia Beach General Hospital is fielding the first hospital-based ambulance bus in Hampton Roads, equipped for mass casualty evacuations. The former school bus is outfitted with an
"This is one of those assets that you hope you never need," says Chris Roberts, RN, Emergency Department manager at Sentara Virginia Beach General Hospital and one of the licensed drivers. "But if a disaster requires us to move a lot of patients at once, this bus will be an essential tool."
The hospital auxiliary donated $6,000 to purchase the 1991 International bus. A grant through the Hampton Roads Metropolitan Medical Response System (HRMMRS) paid for the AmbuBus interior system, air conditioning, upgraded electrics, a boarding ramp and other needs for a mass casualty ambulance, including a siren and flashing red strobe lights.
"This looks a lot like the buses the military uses to transport wounded personnel," Roberts continues. "It's a flexible system depending on the number of patients and whether they can sit up in a seat."
The ambulance bus will serve Sentara Healthcare hospital patients and double as a regional asset, should other hospitals need evacuation assistance.
"When a disaster hits, we all work together," Roberts says. "The hospitals in Hampton Roads hold joint disaster drills with our tents and other equipment," he adds, "so we can set up quickly and help each other in a crisis."
The ambulance bus had its first use over Labor Day weekend, ferrying clinical staff to the Sentara Mobile ER at the Virginia Beach oceanfront for the Rock n' Roll Half Marathon. The bus will be housed at Sentara Virginia Beach General Hospital.

"Alexander pulls out his magic map..."
I think it's about time the King's Quest board had a memorable/favorite quotes thread.
"Alexander pulls out his magic map..."
I think it's about time the King's Quest board had a memorable/favorite quotes thread.
I can't remember the exact quote but it had something to do with a Graham cracker. I thought that was a good one from King's Quest I. "Looks like you had a bad fall this spring" from King's Quest I from AGD Interactive was funny too. There are a few death messages from King's Quest VI that I remember. "Don't just wander, Alexander. Let your conscience be your guide." "Genie, meenie, miney mo. Alexander can't be slow." "Feeling hot and sweaty? Try a shower."
@Milkman08 said: What I want to share is not exactly a quote ...
I'm new comer to the series and I'm playing the original version of KQ1 for now, and what's stuck in my mind for the small time I played the game is not a quote, but a sound effect, the one that you hear after dying:
"Dun, dun, da dun, dan duh dun dah dun dah da.. Di di din du did dun! Din!"I just *love* how serious it begins and then transforms into a loony tunes like goofy music!
Reminds me of climbing up the steps on the cliff in KQ6. Dun-dun...dun-dun...dun-dun-dun-dun...dun-DUN..."WHOA...wait a minute!"
This out of place death message should become a meme.
I also remember 'well well well, water you going to do now?'
In King's Quest II+, when you try to push the witch to the cauldron: 'Did you really think this would work a second time?' and when you enter the cave while there is a trap: 'You saw black glow, you did not slow. Turned not away, you've had your day.
Also, almost anything said by the dwarf in KQII+. 'Yess, how kind of you to recognise me!' 'I went a little hungrry last night. But I'm willing to fergive!' 'What? Yeh fool!'
And in the end of the game, after Caldaur says something nice about Graham - Dwarf: 'Hmmpf.' Librarian: 'Shhhh!'
If you get too close to a mound of ants in KQ5...
Cedric: Hoo, is that a new dance, Graham? The bug-a-looooo?
I liked some of the graveyard epitaphs in KQ7, I know it probably sounds morbid, but my favorite was, "The Sorrowful Marjory Pratt liked to wail on the cliffs with her cat, one night such a pity, she tripped on her kitty and fell off the cliff with a splat."
@Scnew said: If you get too close to a mound of ants in KQ5...
Cedric: Hoo, is that a new dance, Graham? The bug-a-looooo?
And still on Cedric - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F64wDQJLWMQ
I love a lot of the dialogue from Mask of Eternity (quoted by at least G.Byrne on this forum). Makes me smile. :)
"Whence came this foul tempest?" indeed. :D
@Sslaxx said: And still on Cedric - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F64wDQJLWMQ
I liked the video from the start, but it totally won when it showed Snake Man, Quest for Glory 3, and Solid Snake.

Internet TV isn't just the future, it's the present, and it's advancing at breakneck speed. Any household with teenage children will say the same thing: YouTube is more popular than traditional TV. No wonder, when you consider that more than 2 billion people watch videos on YouTube every day and 35 hours of video is uploaded to the site every minute.
But if we are on the cusp of the biggest change in familial viewing behaviour since, well, the arrival of the television set itself, it is not without an array of legal issues. Currently, the legal and regulatory framework largely supports the classic broadcast model. Content providers are accustomed to selling content with territorial broadcast restrictions. But as more of us watch less television in traditional ways, this model could be under threat.
Emerging technology has already altered the notion of "television as we know it", with analysts envisaging a future in which television programmes will continue to be watched but via computers or tablets, or on hybrid devices that combine television with internet connectivity. Market research company iSuppli estimates that by 2014 some 148m such devices will be sold annually.
As Paul Lee, research director at Deloitte, puts it: "Consumers are likely to fuse standard television sets with existing browser-enabled devices. The convergence of television and the web will be driven not by technology but by the users themselves."
Irrespective of the devices on which they are hosted, there is no arguing that television and the internet are merging. Online video is increasingly the internet's preferred medium and web-based applications are being adapted for TV. Barnaby Benson, head of development at eano.tv, predicts online and TV convergence will blur the conventional boundaries of both platforms. "One effect is to make brands more like broadcasters and websites more like TV channels for a brand," says Benson.
In the face of all this, regulation is struggling to keep pace. The video-on-demand industry may have seen the creation of the regulator Atvod, but how long will it be before TV and the internet are governed by the same territorial broadcasting restrictions?
A case heard last October by the European court of justice could herald clarity. Karen Murphy, a pub landlady, subscribed to a Greek satellite broadcaster after she discovered it was making available a satellite card for a fraction of the cost of the monthly subscription to Sky Sports. Having been sued for copyright infringement in the UK, Murphy is challenging domestic law, claiming that by restricting her choice of satellite television provider to a single broadcaster, European principles of free movement of goods and services between member states of the EU are contravened. The ruling could take several months to appear.
But if traditional broadcasters are aggravated by the boundary-free nature of the internet, it's not just because it's unfair. As Tony Ghee of Taylor Wessing explains, the imbalance poses a direct risk: "The online distribution of content throws up challenges that fatally undermine the existing analogue model," says Ghee. "In the end there will be piracy. The trick is to minimise it and, if that is not possible, to ensure the distribution model is tailored to suit the new digital highway."
One way in which broadcasters are protecting themselves from the increased threat of piracy is by accelerating the release of their content into other territories. In terms of regulation, the Digital Economy Act provides that persistent offenders can have their access to the internet switched off. And, increasingly, telecom operators and internet service providers (ISPs) are being made accountable for access regulation. "As the internet gatekeepers, traditional telecoms operators and ISPs have been reluctant to get involved in the copyright law enforcement business," says Ghee. "But their role as innocent bystander is coming to an end. There is an inevitable level of accountability for everybody in the supply chain, even the doorkeeper."
As content changes, so too will advertising. Debate abounds over the implication of bringing in targeted advertising, mimicking online models based on internet searches, to terrestrial channels. The Advertising Standards Authority has responded to developments by extending its rulebook to the online world. Online advertising is now regulated in much the same fashion as advertising distributed via traditional media.
All of which is just the tip of the convergence iceberg. Perhaps the new Communications Act, currently being developed by the government, might provide a more level playing field, promising as it does a more flexible regulatory model.
But for some people, the changing media landscape might seem scarily new and deeply impenetrable. Where, indeed, is it all heading? At what point will a family like the BBC's comedy creation the Royles migrate from television to laptop to tablet, via mobile device and hybrid internet TV set? There's probably a sitcom in it, but will anyone be watching and, if so, on what?

Good powerful light

Nice bright light, we put one in the cab of our truck and one in my husbands gun safe.
