I just came across a blog announcing that a group known as the Covenant Renewal Fellowship at Princeton Theological Seminary plans to hand out t-shirts reading "gay? fine by me" on the campus today. As the leader of the effort stated, "We're hoping that these t-shirts, along with other activities put together by Covenant Network Fellowship and BGLASS (Bisexuals, Gays, Lesbians And Straight-Supporters), would let students know that we are trying to create a safe environment for LGBT students here at PTS."
In a previous posting he had written: The t-shirts were made by Fine By Me, Inc., a non-profit group in NYC whose mission is to promote public opposition to homophobia and to give LGBT people and their allies a human face. I think this t-shirt campaign is a great way to help people on this campus know and see visibly, who is supportive and a safe person to come and speak with. Way to go Covenant…
The problems with this are legion, of course. Can you imagine a t-shirt that would read, "gay? fine by Paul?" Of course, the postmodern academy is now filled with arguments offered to dismiss the Bible's clear condemnation of homosexual behaviors as out of date (Paul didn't know anything about sexual 'orientation') or repressive (the biblical text is shaped by a hostility toward 'sexual minorities') and so on.
As a matter of fact, another blogger (a Ph.D. student in theology at Vanderbilt) responded to the original post by arguing that the Old Testament texts on homosexuality must be 'disambiguated' — a process he admitted would be difficult.
He asked further: Finally: do the Scriptures even have the ideological resources to interface [with] modern notions of "sexuality"? Hasn't Foucault shown that the very concept is a modern invention? Isn't Scripture's preoccupation [with] acts of sexuality? If so, the only means of addressing the topic of homosexuality is [with] a positive theology of sexuality. And I don't think a cogent case can be made for such as a theology of heterosexuality.
So, Scripture, he doubts, even has "the ideological resources to interface [with] modern notions of sexuality." In closing, he mused: Sorry for the rebarbative style. Thinking on my feet here and wanted to get it out while I had a few minutes. Well, it's not every day you see an apology for a rebarbative style of argument.
Alas, we have much work to do. At the same time, sending the signal that a Christian is "a safe person to come and speak with" would be an undeniably good thing — so long as that Christian is prepared to tell the truth about homosexuality, one sinner to another.

This is the first time I have purchased using your web site. I was desperate for a birthday present for my creative teenage daughter who was born on Christmas Eve. I was late with an idea (two holidays at once) and when I finally decided I assumed it would be to late to order. I was urged by my spouse to access the internet. You were there with all the supplies I would need and a promise to deliver. Not only was the service excellent, it arrived within the hour specified! Wow! Thank you.

Cult of R---you should know better than to judge an entire religion based on the ramblings of a FEW loud-mouthed extremists.<quoted text>
According to his description on wiki, he sounds like another fruitcase, akin to the Christian Pat Robertson (and many like him), that make similarly nutty claims.
BTW - regarding his comments about gentiles...
The American Jewish Committee condemned Yosef's remarks, stating that "Rabbi Yosefs remarks suggesting outrageously that Jewish scripture asserts non-Jews exist to serve Jews are abhorrent and an offense to human dignity and human equality [...] Judaism first taught the world that all individuals are created in the divine image, which helped form the basis of our moral code. A rabbi should be the first, not the last, to reflect that bedrock teaching of our tradition." [40] The remark was also condemned by the Anti-Defamation League.[41]
You, Hugh, should know that as an Atheist, I'm no fan of ANY religion. However, fair is fair and you should know better than to judge an entire religion based on the ramblings of a few loud-mouthed extremists. Show me that the majority of ALL Rabbis believe his words, then we have something to talk about.
HughBe--- I am rushing but I like the tone and balance of your post. That aside does the quote below suggests to you a FEW?
Is the word EPIDEMIC a word that means FEW?
"Municipal RABBIS are public servants funded by the public, and the moment they speak out like the worst Kahanists, they no longer have a place in public service," he said. "We are witnessing a spreading EPIDEMIC of RACISM and xenophobia, and we should act firmly."
Epidemic =extremely prevalent; WIDESPREAD.
Racism= hatred of other races
xenophobia= HATRED of foreigners
I rest my case.

NHL says Pound's claim has 'no basis in fact'
The president of the World Anti-Doping Agency said he suspects as many as a third of the NHL's 700 players may take some form of performance-enhancing substances, a claim an NHL official said has no basis in fact.

Russian ftw.
Minecraft is a first-person fighter/sandbox construction game created by Mojang AB.
I want Gibberish as a language, am not impressed :(
How about "LOLspeak" like in Cogs? :P
There's more options, maybe it's there.
Better later than never, finally the developers will do what modders were forced to do by themselves from the start, even if languages support should have been there for the official release, it would have made more sense...
Me and my friends come from countries around the world, but we all prefer the games we play to be in English.
theres nothing wrong with english minecraft, but id love to see it with finnish translations :3
Im Swedish, but no way Im going to change the language from English!
Because everyone in the world speaks English.
Correction: Every western nation, as well as other richer countries in the world SHOULD be able to speak English in the 2000's.
You guys realise there's a "up" scrolling? and that's it's all in alphabetical order -.-
I'm not even going to change to Czech if it gets in there.. Or not, I will do it to laugh at the typical blind idiot translation.
Don't dissapoint me with the Spanish, eh? :)
Imma switch it to German. This was a good idea.
Russian is small because they have to fit the ' above the letters.
That's actually because every font uses same resolution (16x16 per letter), and chinese glyphs won't fit in original (8x8) one.
Russian did fit in 8x8, and even supported letters like Ё.
What about Bulgarian?
I wander how much people will be required to translate Minecraft. There isn't much to translate, but the languages spoken by Minecraft players are quite a lot.
Actually a lot of names of the resources and items could be hard to figure by non-english people, so a translation is surely always better than nothing.
Nice to know that not all of us English speakers think that the world revolves around us! I must admit, it never crossed my mind that Minecraft was English only.
I Don't see American on there, hope it gets added soon!
Português (Portugal) PT??
because that's the original language after all.
Yes, Japanese is the way to go, continue on selecting it noaw

Customer Reviews
I just wanted to tell you that our new front entry and storm doors were installed on Saturday. We could not be happier with the product quality and appearance. The installer was extremely professional and was quite the perfectionist!Andrew & Kimberly P., Northfield, IL
Your installer Nick did a wonderful job on my door installation. He was very careful, precise and helpful and I would recommend him and Feldco to anyone. Nick needs a pat on the back!Oleg P., Chicago, IL
I couldn't have had a better experience. My 82 year-old mother lives with me and she thought the installers were so personable and very accommodating to her needs around the home while putting in the windows.Jackie P., South Elgin, IL
Everyone had a job to do and no one was standing around! Your men also used drop cloths properly and I had no mess on my wood floors, unlike the electrical work done prior by company that left mess wherever they worked.Margaret P., Glenview, IL
I wanted to thank you for your time and your willingness to explain to me a lot about doors. There is a lot that I did not understand or even think of. I truly do respect your products, especially after comparing them to others.David M., Indianapolis, IN

A few years ago when I was addicted to Microsoft Flight Simulator, I was guilty of this. I must have had ... I don't know how many add-on aircraft in the sim. Every kind imaginable. Thankfully, most were free downloads. I'd fly one around the pattern, pick another, another..
Now here I am in RC, and I am waiting for my, umm, 11th plane to be delivered at my door. Not including my 3 heli's. Though I must admit I haven't tired of any of them yet. |

Hey now,
Although I have an extensive collection I find that when I find one I like I keep it around for years. I've got an old Mini Ultra Stick (mawdefieled) that I got when they first came out. I fly it almost every weekend. Right now it's on floats and I'm enjoying pond hopping with it. I've also got a well used Pitts 12e that's getting a bit ragged around the edges. Again a few years old but if flies almost every week. Some with my hopped up MPX Twister and Phase III EF16. While I'm always happy to add another I find that if it flies to my likeing I'll keep it as long as I can. RobII |

Dave - so you got it together! looks good. I can see that you have too much interest in new fresh tails. 1st you fall for the 1st red tail to come along, then you see a beautiful Pawnee with a nice set of tail wires, and off you go chasing that one. Now you are willing to kick that beautiful red tail to the curb! Shame on you! Keep a secret? I look a lot, and sometimes even fall victim just like you.

Dave; I am ashamed to say, that between my wife and I we have more than 60 RTF planes in the house. I am in the finishing stages of a 56" Yak, and have a pair of the 3DHS edge 540s RTF, and a Sukhoi waiting on a new motor. Granted some of these are only indoor planes, and a bunch are for the GREAT outdoors (if the wind ever lets up) , and it is raining today ( no regrets on that). I have an iresistable desire to have planes that I could never afford before, and it HAS gotten out of hand. Cancel my PP PLEASE I still fly my very first foamie every time I get to go out, and it is my go to plane no matter what the weather.

From the dungeon-like Yorkshire boys' boarding school run by the cruel Wackford Squeers to the high-spirited stage of Vincent Crummles' extraordinary acting troupe, Nicholas Nickleby is a triumph of the imagination, bursting with color, humor, and poignant social commentary.
Not a little Dickens: peruse our full list of Charles Dickens titles.
(P)2006 Blackstone Audio Inc.
"Walda's review"
Wonderful way to enjoy the Dickens' collection of stories. Highly recommended.
Narrative makes the world go round.
"light-hearted Dickens"
I listened when I REALLY needed to be cheered up and diverted--and this was just the medicine. Nicholas, even in his naive youthfulness is too good to be true, of course, and the bad guys are one dimensional but such fun caricatures. Contemporary light fiction just can't draw in the listener like Dickens, especially through Whitfield's superb narration.
If you like 19th century fiction, you'll probably love this. If you haven't yet tried 19th century fiction or were turned off it in school, this would be a great entry point into that diverting world of wonderful prose and sharp social insight that still resonates today. Dickens wrote to be shared in reading aloud, so audiobooks give his fiction new life.
"Utterly delightful! Hilarious & touching."
The story is both very funny and heart-wrenching. The writing is superb and plenty accessible to today's audience. But the quality of the narration is beyond words. Simon Vance's ability to convey the nuances of the characters, the humor, the pathos, Dickens's tongue-in-cheek prose . . . it's simply stunning. Dickens used to do readings of his work that were hugely popular; I imagine he would have sounded much like this. This book is so much fun and so touching. Between Dickens's descriptions and dialogue, and Simon Vance's vocal characterizations, the book is brought completely alive. It's a joy.
"Classic Dickens"
May be not as well constructed as David Copperfield, which I listened to before, but very enjoyable even so and the reading first class.
"Great story"
This book is highly entertaining and touching. It draws out all the bad characteristics of an era to be examined and laughed at without dismissing how serious they were. A great read and an entertaining listen.
"A Classic Worth The Time"
The characterizations by the reader made the story come to life.
Nicholas Nicholby was my favorite character because he always had the fortitude to do what was right in spite of him temper and dire circumstances.
The reading was vivid and kept my attention
It was quite impossible to listen to in one sittle due to the books length, but it was worth the time overall.
I liked the story but it is not my favorite Dicken's novel. The story seemed to sag a bit in the middle but gained momentum in the last third. It's worth being persistent and listening to the entire very long novel. One thing one can't say is that one does not get a lot for their money with this book.
I love Charles Dickens! His insight into human nature is remarkable, and his ability to create unique characters unmatched. So much has been said about Dickens, I don't need to add more here. As for the story, it was written early on in his career, and is consequently has a youthful swagger about it. It is most definitely a romance, all ends up well in the end. Not as good as some of his more mature writing, but better than Bleak House and Our Mutual Friend.
Simon Vance is an amazing narrator. The amount of different voices he comes up with is remarkable. The only voice I didn't like was Smyke's, but that may have been intentional on his part. Amazing narrator, best one I've heard on Audible besides Grover Gardner.
"Dickens is so Heavy!"
While Simon Vance is wonderful and brings the characters alive, I find I dread what comes next in the story. I enjoyed David Copperfield, but I cannot get in to NN.
"Even Dickens need an editor."
Accepting the needs of Dickens' audience and serial publication, there is too much padding here. Scenes and characters that detract rather than add to the dramatic flow and tension. I was also disappointed in the narrator. Not enough spirit and energy for the Crummles interlude. The voice for Ralph Nickleby is much too wimpish, even nerdish. No cruelty or vigor. I can accept the interpretation given to Kate and Nicholas, but both voices were too old and mature sounding. This novel should chart Nicholas's growth into manhood and responsibility. Worse for me, Kate sounds like an aging woman, not a young woman of charm, exploration of life and growing discovery and self-confidence. Even audiobook performances need direction! I will likely listen again to another's interpretation.
"Worth the wait"
I've listened to many Dickens novels, and this is one of the best. My favorite (so far) is _David Copperfield_ (Frederick Davidson narrating), and this has many of the same qualities. A young man's adventures through life, a cast of interesting characters, wonderful narration. _Nickelby_ takes longer to capture your attention, but you do come to love Nicholas and the family, to curse the villains and rejoice with the lovers. It's a very good listen.

A: Easiest way that seems to do the trick: Goto: Evervolv Toolbox -> Performance -> Processor -> change Min Freq to 384Mhz
A: Or: change the governor from ondemand to smartassv2
You must install blackrose hboot before flashing ICS. Instructions.
You must increase the size of the system partiton to fit ICS to at least 210MB
*4/14* I had previously recommended 210 system but am now changing that back to 220. The size of ICS and mainly Gapps is growing and with 210 system on the a2 release, after gapps there is only 6mb free space. That doesnt give me very much room to grow on and can cause problems with people who have bad blocks on the system partiton.
RECOMMENDED: System 220MB Cache 10MB Data 206MB Download
System 210 Cache 8 Userdata 218 Download
(or make your own with the Blackrose installer).
All past builds will work just fine on either layout 210 and 220
Future builds might not fit on 210 as of a2 it is pushing it.
If you are installing for the first time choose the 220mb system.

Nov. 5, 2012 FOFO | Topic: Bats Discussion: cheater bats I think it's a good rule. It's the only way to attempt to catch bat cheats. If your bats good you get it back, if it's not well you get a little suspension and hopefully sued. Something needs to be done. NSA is adopting the new bat standard in 2015. |
Nov. 4, 2012 FOFO | Topic: Bats Discussion: cheater bats I have seen the problem playing and officiating games in Vegas. Good clue is five or six guys sharing the same bat. I had a young guy playing next to me helping position me in the outfield because he knew which guys were swinging hot bats. And when I say hot I mean these things are hotter than our senior models. It's crazy. The new bat standard should help but only time will tell. The new 2013 bats meet the new standard but I believe only USSA is enforcing it this year. It seems the cheaters are going to make the bat companies a ton of money. There is a rule in NSA that states any batted ball that strikes and injures ANY defensive play causing an injury that forces him to leave the game, the bat will be confiscated. It is given a compression test and if it fails is sent to the manufacturer who makes the final determination as to whether the bat has been altered or not. So I guess staying out of the middle may not save the cheaters in some cases. |
Oct. 9, 2012 FOFO | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: rumor has it Played in the 50 Major and went out Sunday and watched the finals and I don't think the top four finishers would stand much of a chance of competing in Major Plus much less the top 10. |
Oct. 8, 2012 FOFO | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: LV World Tournament Discussion 1. Get one of the many software programs available and laptops with aircards at every site to speed up the seeding process. Watching the guys try to do it by hand was painful. This would also make it easier to keep the brackets at each site up to date. 2. Never use Cheyenne Park 3. Put a little water on the Infields once in awhile. Great Tournament |
Oct. 8, 2012 FOFO | Topic: Bats Discussion: Combat Ambush vs Combat Twilight Bought the new 2 piece Miken and used it in Vegas this weekend. The bat feels great and performed well. Have to wait and see how long it lasts. |
March 25, 2012 FOFO | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: When is the last time you saw a pitcher have to leave a game from getting hit or get seriously hurt? January this year playing in a kids bat provided tournament. Senior player was pitching and got drilled in left arm breaking it. |
March 5, 2012 FOFO | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: This Will Chase Players From The Game Thanks Staff. I have passed this information along to our Manager and he will get with George. |
March 2, 2012 FOFO | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: This Will Chase Players From The Game The specifiics on my team are as follows: We have three guys who played 50 Major last year on a team that finished the season 5-44. The team petitioned to be reclassified AAA, but for some reason, unknown to anyone (5-44!!!!) was denied. As a result the team dumped many of the guys and leaving them with no place to play. We also have one guy who playes 50 Major with a team that didn't win anything all year, the lone highlight being a 3rd in Reno. The rest of the players are either 55 or 60 AAA. How this could possibly add up to 55 Major+ is beyond me. If we are stuck with this ranking it means the team won't play, and a lot of guys who want to play won't be able too. I could see ranking us AAA and if we went out there and dominated moving us up, but to start us off in a division above our skill level is ridiculous. Past history tells us that once you get moved up, it's nearly impossible to get moved down(5-44!!!). |
Feb. 29, 2012 FOFO | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: This Will Chase Players From The Game Not sure if this is fact or fiction, but I was told that as I played 50 Major last year, that if I move up to 55 I will be considered a Major+ player. I sure hope I heard wrong because this would be one of the most idiotic rule SSUSA has come up with and will most certainly eliminate a lot guys opportunity to play the game they love. It will for sure mean the 55 team I play on won't be playing SSUSA this year. It's total lunacy to think that moving up a division will improve my game that much. Each player should be evaluated on his own ability not the classification of the team he played on last season. Say it ain't so SSUSA, Say it ain't so............ |
Feb. 26, 2012 FOFO | Topic: Bats Discussion: New Bat Advice One of the guys I am playing with this weekend got a new Centurion and 10 swings into BP the end cap went flying off. Seems like Combat STILL hasn't solved this problem although by know you would certainly think they should have. |
Jan. 17, 2012 FOFO | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Softball Gloves-Any Good Ones? I can add one more good reason to buy the American Made Nokona. I've had mine for close to 15 years give or take. It was top of the line and cost around $180.00 when I bought it. The outside was still in great shape but the inside had rotted in places and the thumb and straps for the little finger had broken off. I called Nokona, they issued me an RMA to send it back for repair. They restrung the entire glove and replaced the entire inside of the glove. For this they charged me $80.00. That's standing behind your product. Glove is like brand new. Mine is the pre-oiled model so it is a little heavy but I've never had to put a drop of oil on it. They also have light weight models. |

Jan. 7, 2012 FOFO | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Moving on up Well Johnny,the way this man see's it YOU GOT HOSED! |
Jan. 7, 2012 FOFO | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Moving on up My question would be the same as Leon's. How does any team take second in a tournament and get moved up and the team that wins does not. It makes no difference how many home runs they hit or anything else for that matter. The fact is they were beaten, took second, got moved up and the team that beat them did not. The whole thing smells a little fishy if you ask me. |
Dec. 11, 2011 FOFO | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: courtesy runners Hey SlOBAL, bad typing on my part. I meant Major and Major+ Shouldn't get courtesy runners or they should be limited to one per inning my point being is that those divisions are supposed to the the elite player who should be able to run for himself unless injured. The lower divisions should be allowed more because as it has been pointed out we are all getting older and there are a lot of ailments that prevent guys from running even though they may want to. These divisions probably have more guys with medical conditions which prevent them from running. Only problem with the CR rule is that it is abused. I guess we will see what the rules committee comes up with. What we think really doesn't matter. Good discussion though |
Dec. 11, 2011 FOFO | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: batters box I think it's important to have the batters box. For example, as a pitcher if the batters aren't kept within the box it makes it impossible to pitch inside, if the batter is allowed to stand wherever he wants. The rule in NSA is that the batter must start entirely within the box, this means not standing on a line and can end up wherever he wants as long as both feet are in contact with some part of the box. Not sure what it is for SSUSA. |
Dec. 9, 2011 FOFO | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: courtesy runners I like the discussion and I can see both sides. As I said earlier the entire issue can be solved by allowing unlimited CR's in the AAA and AA, but as Major and Major+ players are supposed to be elite players, there should be some sort of limit in those divisions. As billcoo stated, being able to hit the ball over the fence does not make you an Elite player. This would also prevent teams from stacking a team with nothing but large slow guys who can do nothing BUT hit homeruns, which I fear we will see more of now that SSUSA has made the mistake of making any homerun over the limit a walk rather than an out. Why should we reward this action by letting the big slow guy who is in no way injured, that hits the homerun walk be replaced by a rabbit, which can definitely alter the outcome of a game? |
Dec. 6, 2011 FOFO | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: courtesy runners I believe that CR's should be limited in Major and Major+ divisions, as these are supposed to be the elite players, and if you can't run, are you really an elite player? Let the lower divisions have as many as they want. |
Nov. 23, 2011 FOFO | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: results In 50 Major I heard Worth 50's won and After Party LV took 2nd and I think Wast Bay was 3rd. |
Nov. 15, 2011 FOFO | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: RANKING THE MEN IN THE 40S Pricer, I agree with your thoughts. I guess the thought of 40 year olds swinging Ultras isn't any more frightening than them swinging the cheater bats they currently swing. Heres to hoping we see no altered senior bats. As for Ranking them, If they only have a limited amount of teams, seems an upper and a lower division might work. |

Holling's concert rings in timeless singer's birthday
ALBANY — Bob Dylan turns 70 (yes, 70!) on May 24, and Tom Holling is celebrating in the best way possible: with his music.
So if you're in the mood for "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right," "She Belongs to Me," "To Ramona," "Buckets of Rain," and a clutch of other classics, played live in an intimate setting, Rhythm & Brews is the place to be.
But it's more than a tribute to the troubadour's five-decade repertoire. It's a celebration of Holling's own life, a memory of his teenage years in Clackamas with his friends, spinning Dylan records, parsing the great poet's lyrics, teaching each other his songs on guitar. It's a link to these relationships, bonds formed over shared interests and musical discoveries.
Holling is 60 now, familiar to music fans as a trumpet player (an instrument he's played since the third grade) with the Albany Swing Band. But he still plays guitar, and he stays in touch with his childhood friends.
Back in March he visited with one, Craig Martin, at his home in Ashland. They got around to talking about Dylan, and Martin, a guitarist with the Roadmasters, mentioned that the artist's birthday had become something of a town tradition, acknowledged annually with concerts since 1999, originally at Pioneer Hall, now at the Wild Goose Cafe & Bar (8 p.m. Monday, May 23, if you're interested).
"The Dylan birthday celebration is pretty much the reason I moved here," Ashland resident Steve Larson told the Daily Tidings' Dawn Hatchard in 2009. "(He's) the most important guy since Shakespeare."
When Holling returned home to Albany, he got out his Dylan albums and revisited the master's work. He discovered that the occasion is almost an international holiday, celebrated around the world. The Arches in Glasgow has booked a soiree. Barb Jungr will perform an evening of Dylan songs at the South Bank in London. Caffe Lena in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., where the young Dylan cut his teeth, is devoting an entire night to him. So, Holling thought, why not Albany, Oregon?
"I thought it was a great idea," he said, "because a lot of his older songs have been my favorites through the years. And to play several in my hometown on his birthday is going to be fun for me."
Last week Holling stopped by the Gazette-Times office, four Dylan sleeves in tow. He laid them out on a conference table: "Another Side of Bob Dylan" (1964), home to "All I Really Want to Do," "My Back Pages" and "It Ain't Me, Babe"; "Bringing It All Back Home" (1965), the half-electric/half-acoustic hybrid with "Subterranean Homesick Blues," "Mr. Tambourine Man," "It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)" and "Love Minus Zero/No Limit," which the young Holling learned from Martin ("The guitar chords are pretty basic on a lot of these songs," Holling said. "They're not fancy songs, but I've always liked them."); the magnificent "Nashville Skyline" (1969); and the devastating "Blood on the Tracks" (1975), recorded by Dylan during a period of personal turbulence.
As the artist looked on from a decade's worth of album covers, we talked about his music, his effect on five generations and why he continues to matter.
You play in an ensemble with the Albany Swing Band. What's it like to play on your own like this, with very little accompaniment?
One difference is nervousness. When I'm playing with the swing band, there are 15 of us and I'm pretty at ease. But I do enjoy playing the guitar solo because after a song or so, I calm right down. I like the challenge of reaching a relaxed state, fighting the nerves and settling into it.
What did you find appealing about the trumpet and guitar?
What I love in the trumpet is that it has a certain piercing quality. For example, I love to play the trumpet in a church or in a big hall. As for the guitar, I play mostly acoustic and I like the mellowness of it.
One of my friends gets a chuckle out of this, but I like to take my guitar along when I go camping, pass some lyrics around the campfire and lead a sing-along. One of my other friends is always telling me, "Let's play that again, and not so much in a campfire style." But I do like that. I like the guitar for the fact that you can accompany a group and belt out some songs.
Many of us have had complicated feelings about Dylan as both we and he have gotten older. What has been your relationship with him, since you were there from the beginning?
I've bought about six or seven albums over the years. I've seen (the 1967 D.A. Pennebaker documentary) "Don't Look Back" and Martin Scorsese's "No Direction Home," which I really liked. I've been out of touch with Bob Dylan for a long time — decades, really. So I'm mainly connecting with his songs from the '60s and early '70s.
What's amazed me is that he sings, plays the guitar, writes songs, writes poems and performs. There aren't very many people who have the complete package like that. I've also been interested in his changes, of course. He's constantly gone from one type of music to another. When he first came to my attention, he had that kind of whiny, high voice and all these strange lyrics — he was just so different. But some of these albums, like "Nashville Skyline," have really mellow sounds.
What's your favorite lyric or song?
One is "Everything passes / everything changes / just do what you think you should do," from "To Ramona." Another is "Life is sad / life is a bust / all ya can do is do what you must" ("Buckets of Rain"). You can't beat that for poetry as lines to ponder. It's so compact and yet so profound.
Why does it resonate for you?
Just because it's so original. I'd never heard anyone say anything like that before, and it fits in a framework of fairly simple chords.
I've been thinking about his writing over the last couple of days knowing that I'd be talking to you. And the songs I like have to do with romantic relationships, and most of those songs have an honesty about them. He's not claiming to have all the answers, but he's good at expressing what he's going through. There's some joy, some confusion and some sorrow, and he mixes them all together in a song. He has a rare ability to do that.
And people still follow his every move with curiosity. What do you think attributes to his longevity? Why are we still talking about him nearly 50 years later?
He's a very talented poet, and musically he's solid. What I like is the combination of unique words, his lyrics, and his playable melodies. These are songs that are within my reach to play and sing. The songs I like have words you remember for years. Some of his lyrics are just incredible.
Have you seen the movie "I'm Not There"?
I'm embarrassed to admit that I haven't, yet.
I looked and looked for that movie. My wife found it at Ray's in Albany on the 50-cent rack after quite a search. It's amazing. There are, I think, about six or eight different actors who all play different phases of Bob Dylan's life. The one who plays him in his really young years, when he was a fan of Woody Guthrie, is this little African-American boy, who plays guitar on a railroad. You can see some similarities between the actor and the Dylan you conceive from that era.
Then there's Heath Ledger, Cate Blanchett — some pretty well-known people. Richard Gere is more of the "John Wesley Harding" era, like a woodsman out in the hills. It's quite a movie.
If I tried to put it in a nutshell, I would say that the man is just unique. You can look at him from different angles and get different information, just endlessly, like a jewel. That's why he has such lasting value. He's not doing the same types of songs for decades. He's doing many types of songs, and you get little glimpses of his life through his songs, through his photographs, through his travels and statements. He's an intriguing guy, there's no doubt about that.

I posted my health update today on Liver Cleanse Support forum. Having gallbladder attack. Later, thought I should share this info with everyone here because the supportive Iodine Supplements (selenium, magnesium, potassium, & Vitmin C), really helped to alleviate the pain and calm my gallbladder. Selenium brought the most relief. Just in case this is of interest to anyone.

I am researching the family history of many surname, notably: Pichette, Fallu, Ferlatte, Lťvesque, Lynch, Lapointe and on my mother's side: Hamilton, Sutherland, Spice, Campbell, Latulipe & Latreille. The first 6 come from the Western part of New Brunswick while the English surnames are Manitoba Red-River Settlers and from Woodstock On. The last two or from the surrounding farms of Montreal. I am specifically interested to find out more about my grand-mother's family roots. She was named ThťrŤse Ida Latulipe and is the grand-daughter of Joseph Lalande. This whole family roamed in and out of the American-Canadian border and seems to evade any researchers' effort. Also, my Great-Grandparents John Spice and Annie Campbell who were farmers in Woodstock On. No trace of their parents or history can be found. I am interested to communicate with anyone who has any knowledge about these families. Please contact me if you would like to know more about my own family. Regards and best wishes, (Vous pouvez m'ťcrire en franÁais si vous le voulez). Jean Pichette |

Yesterday, it was announced that Green Day had plans to release three albums within a six-month span starting in September of this year.
While we reported yesterday on Courtney Love's New York Post rant against Dave Grohl and the Muppets, Love took a far more sinister approach to slandering Grohl via Twitter yesterday.
After the massive success of the Metal Masters 2 last year in New York City, the action headed west as the Metal Masters 3 clinic took place in Los Angeles.
Need more proof that last night's Revolver Golden Gods Awards was an epic occasion for music? Check out the below photo, courtesy of photographer Robert Knight, which features Slash, Marilyn Manson, Johnny Depp and Alice Cooper hanging out backstage last night.
After debuting the official music video for "Piss" — a previously unreleased track — at last night's Revolver Golden Gods, Pantera have now posted the clip online. Watch below!

You might get hit, or you might not. I've heard of cases that go either way, but I doubt HMRC can give you an explanation into why you can order all sorts on Ebay from China and not pay a thing! Look on the bright side. If you were in Denmark, you could be looking at a 200%* import tax! *Things may have changed so I'll add the small print disclaimer. |

I presume yours will be coming via Fedex and I have looked back at the PayPal transaction where they transfered £112.00 to Atomik. I thought job done when I got the parcel under 5 days after the PayPal transfer About 2 weeks later a bill arrived from Fedex for £28.20 covering VAT and their attendance :censored Still the best move I have done for ages As Atomik are holding their $200 off RRP for a new MM with EGyro and you have anyone coming from the States get them to slip one in their luggage: : |

I have asked for it to be marked as a gift the value is too great for it make a huge tax difference but I am hoping it will slip threw with the seasonal increase of parcels. I would much sooner buy from the far east as slipping past customs seems far more regular. still if it gets caught it will still be £25 cheaper than from the UK and about 4 weeks faster. £112 you say I just paid £97 including postage USPS priority on Ebay.

Correct regarding the far east where they tend to just use the postal service and put a nominal value on the declaration slip Haven't purchased much via the east but touch wood everything has arrived were you also hear horror tales You will enjoy it when it arrives and just take note of the various earlier posted comments covering installation as in my case some were relevant so averted problems before they occured |

[QUOTE=razor_01;23424328]This is my first post. I have two VMX 450 bikes and these are my first RC models that I have owned. I as you all, I have a lot of fun with them. I purchased two of the egyro upgrade kits for these bikes and the fun factor went up more.
Two weeks ago one on of the bikes the egyro would not power up. Mike at Atomik sent me another ESC for the egyro and life was good again. Not even a week later (I run these bikes daily if possiable) that ESC quit spinning up the flywheel. Now today as I was running my other bike I noticed that it was slower to spin up the flywheel. After three battery packs today it has stopped working also. I will contact Atomik but I was looking thru this thread and couldn't see anyone having this problem. I will update as I find out anything.[/ I did find what the problem was. I was checking continuity on the wiring. I found a open wire about a inch and half away from the stator. I have repaired that and added bullet connectors so I can get the gyro off easier. I got new bodies for both bikes and new riders so I am ready to have fun. |

[QUOTE=chktm;23543867]Yes the wire was seperated that is why it would run intermittly when I bumped the wire. I cleaned all the bearings on the bike including the ones on the flywheel and soaked them in Kroil oil afterwards. It made a big difference in the noise coming from the flywheel. It was a lot more quiet.

Yes 30 to 40 is what I use. Start with 30 and if you do big jumps and flog the bike go to 40.

This is a business oriented hotel in a good location just outside the central area. 15 minutes walk to Jinli Street. Rooms are big and well maintained. Few staff speak much english so be prepared for some bits of confusion.

Trendy Business Lunch

Any recommendations for a business lunch, price not a big deal, somewhat trendy, in the santa monica, century city area...
How soon will you be going? Craft at Century City opens later this week I believe, so it will be the newest place and most likely trendy and busy at lunch with all the agents around there. I hear the outposts of it in NY that are primarily steak-focused are fabulous.
http://www.opentable.com/rest_profile...Spago is always a good somewhat trendy business lunch spot though it's in Beverly Hills, not sure if that's too far for you.
Rustic Canyon in Santa Monica is open for lunch these days, not sure how happening it is, but the burger I've had there is one of my favorites and they have a great wine list.
