Louisville is the largest city in the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the state's only 1st-class city. In 2010, Louisville proper was the 16th-largest city in the United States. Located beside the Falls of the Ohio, the only major obstruction to river traffic between the Ohio River and the Gulf of Mexico, Louisville first grew as portage site. The city was the headquarters of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, which grew into a system across 13 states. Today, Louisville is best known as the location of the Kentucky Derby, the first of the three annual races that make up the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing. It is the home of the University of Louisville and three of Kentucky's six Fortune 500 companies. Its airport is also the site of UPS's worldwide air hub. Since 2003, the city's borders have been coterminous with those of Jefferson County because of a city-county merger. The city's total consolidated population at the 2010 census was 741,096. However, the balance total of 602,011 excludes other incorporated places and semi-autonomous towns within the county and is the population listed in most sources and national rankings. As of the 2012, the Louisville metropolitan area (MSA) had a population of 1,334,872 ranking 42nd nationally. The metro area includes Louisville-Jefferson County and 12 surrounding counties, eight in Kentucky and four in Southern Indiana. The Louisville Combined Statistical Area, having a population of 1,451,564, includes the MSA, Hardin County and Larue County in Kentucky, and Scott County, Indiana. [edit] History
The history of Louisville spans hundreds of years, and has been influenced by the area's geography and location. The rapids at the Falls of the Ohio created a barrier to river travel, and as a result, settlements grew up at this stopping point. The first European settlement in the vicinity of modern-day Louisville was on Corn Island in 1778 by Col. George Rogers Clark, credited as the founder of Louisville. Several landmarks in the community are named after him. Two years later, in 1780, the Virginia General Assembly approved the town charter of Louisville. The city was named in honor of King Louis XVI of France, whose soldiers were then aiding Americans in the Revolutionary War. Early residents lived in forts to protect themselves from Indian raids, but moved out by the late 1780s. In 1803, explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark organized their expedition across America in the original town of Clarksville, Indiana at the present-day Falls of the Ohio in Louisville.
The city's early growth was influenced by the fact that river boats had to be unloaded and moved downriver before reaching the falls. By 1828, the population had swelled to 7,000 and Louisville became an incorporated city. The city grew rapidly in its formative years. Louisville was a major shipping port and slaves worked in a variety of associated trades. The city was often a point of escape for slaves to the north, as Indiana was a free state.
On March 27, 1890 the city was devastated and its downtown nearly destroyed when an F4 tornado tore through as part of the March 1890 Mid-Mississippi Valley tornado outbreak. An estimated 74 to 120 people were killed. In late January and February 1937, of rain fell during a month of heavy rain. It caused the "Great Flood of '37". The flood submerged about 70% of the city, caused the loss of power, and forced the evacuation of 175,000 residents. It led to dramatic changes in where residents lived. Today, the city is protected by numerous flood walls. After the flood, the areas of high elevation in the eastern part of the city saw decades of residential growth. Louisville was a center for factory war production during World War II. In May 1942, the U.S. government assigned the Curtiss-Wright Aircraft Company, a war plant located at Louisville's air field, for wartime aircraft production. The factory produced the C-46 Commando cargo plane, among other aircraft. In 1946 the factory was sold to International Harvester Corporation, which began large-scale production of tractors and agricultural equipment. In 1950, the Census Bureau reported Louisville's population as 84.3% white and 15.6% black. Similar to many other older American cities, Louisville began to experience a movement of people and businesses to the suburbs in the 1960s and 1970s. Middle class residents used newly built freeways and interstate highways to commute to work, moving into more distant but newer housing. Because of tax laws, businesses found it cheaper to build new rather than renovate older buildings. Economic changes included a decline in local manufacturing. The West End and older areas of the South End, in particular, began to decline economically as many local factories closed.
Since the 1980s, many of the city's urban neighborhoods have been revitalized into areas popular with young professionals and college students. The greatest change has occurred along the Bardstown Road corridor, Frankfort Avenue, and the Old Louisville neighborhoods. Downtown has had significant residential and retail growth, including the conversion of waterfront industrial sites into Waterfront Park, and the refurbishing of the former Galleria into the bustling entertainment complex Fourth Street Live!.

The Federation of Farmers' Association of Delta Districts has slammed the union budget as "anti-farmer".
In a statement, its State general secretary Arupathi P.Kalyanam said that there is nothing in the budget to protect the farmers who are in distress.
Out of the total budget outlay of Rs.16.65 lakh crore, the allocation for the Agriculture Ministry is mere Rs.27, 049 crore, including Rs.3,415 crore for Agriculture Research. In this, the actual plan allocation for Agriculture and allied activities is only Rs.18, 781 crore. We have been demanding for the past 10 years allocation of 20 per cent of the total budget to Agriculture.
He submitted that the National Commission on Farmers categorically recommended in 2006 to provide farm loan at four per cent interest. This is not implemented even in this budget. Finance Minister P.Chidambaram has said that interest subvention at four per cent would continue for those who repay farm loans within the due date and extended the same to private banks.
Now the total farm loan allocation for the banks is raised from Rs.5.75 lakh crore to Rs.7 lakh crore. The Finance Minister should assure farmers that the entire sum would be provided at 4 per cent simple interest. Farmers were getting farm loan at 7 per cent up to Rs.3 lakh only. The interest subvention is meant only for this loan. But those borrowing more than Rs.3 lakh are charged interests from 13 per cent to 15 per cent. "We need farm loan at four per cent interest." What the Finance Minister announced is "cheating," he alleged.
Besides, though it was more than six years since the National Commission on Farmers recommended that Minimum Support Prices should be more than 50 per cent of the total cost of cultivation, it is yet to be implemented, Mr.Kalyanam lamented.
Due to natural calamities farmers are facing crop loss to the level of Rs.50,000 crore annually. The allocation to National Calamity Contingency Fund/National Disaster Response Fund ( NCCF\NDRF) is a mere Rs.4,800 crore.
For the past 10 years we have been representing that 50 per cent of the Service Tax collection must be allocated to meet the losses due to these disasters. When Service Tax was introduced in 1994 it was only Rs.410 crore. Last year it was Rs.1.32 lakh crore and this year's estimate is Rs.1.80 lakh crore.
The entire faming community will get protection if 50 per cent of this amount were to be allocated to NCCF/NDRF during natural disasters.
There is no mention of linking of rivers and the total quantum of water that goes unused in the country is around 48,000 thousand million cubic feet (tmcft) .The States are fighting for just five tmcft and 10 tmcft
Mr.Chidambaram spoke about our excessive dependence on oil and coal imports. If ethanol were to be produced using sugarcane as in like Brazil we can curtail import of crude.
The import dependence of crude in 2011-12 was 172 million tonnes worth around Rs.6.72 lakh crore. In 2002-03 the import dependence was 81.98 million tonnes worth Rs.76,195 crore. "What were the steps the present United Progressive Alliance government has taken to promote ethanol production and curtail import for the past nine years?", he asked.
National Commission on Farmers had recommended farm loan at 4 per cent interest 'Total farm loan allocation for banks has been raised from Rs.5.75 lakh crore to Rs.7 lakh crore'

A mighty black boot crunched down upon a fallen guardsmen's chest. Bohman, the leader of the Chaos Marines known as the Radiant Slaves, a Slaanesh dedicated traitor legion, stood before his followers. He was a twisted leader, who gathered followers and slaves alike with promises of pleasure and pain in exchange for service. Leading the army onward, the Chaos Marines plowed forth, tearing down both man and machine... anything that stood before them. But hope was not lost, for Imperial Guard sent troop after troop to defend their homeworld against this disastrous raid.
"Lord Slaanesh will guide us! You will fall, and we will turn this world inside out!" Bohman bellowed at the guardsmen.
Commissar Redfield stood with his arms held neatly behind his back, as bolter and lasgun fired responsive shots at one another. "MOVE FORWARD! SEND IN ARTILLERY!" He barked to the subordinates directly beside him. "We will NOT let these filthy scumdogs overrun out ground!" Redfield was a veteran, he knew war and he knew Chaos plenty. He'd fought his fair share, and sent many to their doom. Sometimes, however, Redfield's commands were lost to less than worthy soldiers. Typically, he barked his orders, they were followed, and the day was his.
But not today.
His troops charged forward, as a messenger ran and nearly toppled trying to stop himself as he ran under heavy fire.
"Sir! Commissar Redfield!" He called to the commander.
"What is it?" the aged Commissar answered quickly.
"It's our troops, we're nearly out from base, and the only ones left are the recruits! Most of them haven't even had time to master the basics..." He said, glancing away briefly.
"Damn..." Redfield replied. "How long until reinforcements can be sent and deployed?"
"Anyone's guess, sir." the Messenger explained. "But, you see... judging by the fact that this world is lightly inhabited, it's probable that this traitor legion calculated this out, and came while we were at our weakest."
"WE ARE NOT WEAK." The Commissar said, his words like stones dropping. "Those bastards planned this out. We must not fail! We must throw them off, at least until we can acquire more troops! Send out the recruits! But put them behind the rest. If it comes to it, they'll have to fight."
"Yes sir." The Messenger replied. "OH! Sir..."
"Yes, private."
The messenger looked away, holding a com link. After a moment he looked back, relaying information being sent.
"We have word from our sister planet. A contingent of Sisters are coming to our aid!"
"Sisters..." The Commissar snorted. "Well, we may as well take help were it's offered. Egotistical those sisters are... but at least we won't fall to the hands of those Slaanesh worshiping cretins!"
"Yes, sir." The messenger replied, before running off back into the heat of the back lines.
Several hours passed, and the forces of the Radiant Slaves had slowly come forward. Many guardsmen were felled, and although Chaos Marines too were lost, the rate and ratio was in Slaanesh's favour. "Where are those Sisters?!" Redfield shouted to nobody in particular. After a matter of fuming minutes later, it was heard before it was seen. The Slaanesh troops began firing into the sky, as Adepta Sororitas drop ships came from above. They would have all believe them sent from heaven. No matter how the Radiants fought, not one ship belonging to the Sisters was lost, though some took minor damage.
Upon hitting ground, Sisters piled out of the main doors, and charged through the lines to the front to face the Slaanesh marines.
A guardsman captain radioed to the Commissar.
"Commissar Sir! This is Captain Sands. The Sisters have made it to the front, and are pushing them back! We must continue out assault as the Sororitas assists us! But we'll need more guardsmen up here. Requesting the recruits for active engagement, sir!"
Commissar Redfield thought for a moment, then replied. "Permission granted, Captain." And with that, the Commissar ordered the recruits to the front, most of whom were frightened and not ready to fight the Chaos before them, even if it was being repulsed.
Another nervous communications array cut in. "Commissar, sir? We're not ready! We can't do this! And... and what if we're captured? I've heard about Slaanesh..."
"DO NOT SURRENDER. You will fight, and you will win. If you die, you die with honor! If you die, you die defending the Emperor and his Empire! You die for all of us and your brothers! Now get your squad to the front with the others, and KILL THOSE Slaanesh freaks!"
"Y-yes. Yes sir!" The voice called back, sounding more sure of itself on the second attempt.
"And remember, if it looks like it's ready to be f*cked, or if it wants to have sex with you... KILL IT! Those Slaanesh bastards have no concept of decency or restraint..."
Minutes later an Adepta Sororitas message came over the com link.
"COMMISSAR REDFIELD! Call your men off! Your recruits are attacking us!"

The Central Station PLUS from Presonus is a studio control center that allows for switching between three sets of speakers from three sets of stereo analog input sources, and two stereo digital S/PDIF sources, while removing cable clutter from the desktop. The control center delivers all the key features needed for managing monitors in a commercial or project studio.
The main unit features a pair of line-level main outputs, a pair of line-level cue outputs, and two headphone amplifiers with individual level controls. The speaker outputs each feature individual front panel trim pots that are recessed to avoid accidents. Using the onboard talkback microphone or connecting an optional dynamic microphone to the XLR talkback input allows the engineer to communicate with the musicians over the headphone and cue buses.
The cue signal is automatically dimmed when using the talkback microphone, and a jack is provided for adding an optional footswitch for hands-free talkback operation. A mono switch sums the stereo source for checking for phase problems, and a dim switch reduces the speaker output by 16 dB. Additionally, the speakers can be completely muted.
Accurate metering enables monitoring of input levels via dual, 30-segment, tri-colored, fast-acting, peak-hold LED meters, which can be switched to display dBu and dBfs. A clear switch can clear any peak-hold indicators. And since a monitor-control system should be as sonically transparent as possible, the company chose an audiophile-quality, passive signal path with no op-amps or ICs, and equipped the S/PDIF inputs with high-definition, 24-bit/192 kHz D/A converters.
The included CSR-1 remote provides remote-control of the Central Station's main volume, input select, output select, talkback, mute, dim, and mono functions. Being a rack-mount device, with only one multi-conductor cable running to the remote control on the desktop, all of the cabling is in the back of the rack.
- Three sets of stereo analog inputs let you switch between sources
- Two sets of S/PDIF digital inputs (coaxial and optical)
- Three sets of stereo speaker outputs with speaker select switches and recessed trim pot for each speaker output
- Cue section with input-select switch and output-level control
- Main section with input-select switch, aux-input level control, output-level control, and mute, dim (-20 dB) and mono switches
- Two headphone outputs, each with dual-function volume controls and main-cue input switches
- Passive audio path - no op amps or IC's in main audio path
- Onboard talkback microphone
- Talkback microphone input with level control (feeds headphone and cue outputs)
- Dual 30-segment, fast-acting, peak-hold LED metering (dBu and dBfs) with clear peak switch and the ability to calibrate them to match a DAW or other audio device
- Footswitch jack for hands-free talkback operation
- Included Control Station Remote (CSR-1) provides remote control of main volume, input switching, output selection, talkback, and mute, dim and mono functions

Go somewhere else -- It stalls the page load out way too often for me to not get a bit frustrated and not want to visit as much or even find somewhere else.
Hopefully, GetClicky can GetFasty or WebmasterWorld can GetMovey and find something else, because this clicky &*%$ keeping pages from loading from 5 to 25 seconds sometimes, even on something simple like a refresh is ridiculous and frustrating.

I totally understand your frustration and am sorry you're experiencing slowness. However, I'm not sure Clicky is the culprit.
Clicky loads via asynchronous JavaScript. It doesn't affect the page load time because the page continues to load while Clicky is doing its thing in the background.
This can be seen via this 3rd-party test: [
...] Click on Timeline to see how the page loads. Clicky is one of the quickest pieces of code to load.
WebmasterWorld, itself, is slow. We have plans to change that and they are slowly in motion. However, it will take time.
Thanks for your continued input and understanding.

Cool, I'm glad -- The site usually stalls a bit when I make a new post during the saving process, but there are a ton of times I just get tired of waiting and click on the forum link, then click on the thread and check to make sure what I posted is there and I'd say over half the time when I get the "Post Accepted Redirecting"
[or whatever the exact wording is]
message after posting, when I look down at the bottom of the browser it says something about in.getclicky.com. There are not many times it stalls like that and says anything about "connecting to" webmasterworld.com -- Sure, sometimes it does, but I post a bunch and that stuff happens. It's when it's consistently a specific site I decide to say something.
However, I'm not sure Clicky is the culprit.
Well, I'm pretty sure I've seen it on other sites too, like some major major ones -- I don't remember of the top of my head, but I think one day abcnews.go.com stalled out on "clicky" so bad
[over a minute more than once -- all I really remember is thinking "oh, wow, they use that "stuff" too? Unreal...]
I finally went somewhere else.
I'm not the average complainer, cause I write a bit of code and understand "stuff"
[making sure lawman doesn't need to edit again ;)]
happens, but as fast or slow as you think WebmasterWorld is, I've been a member here for almost 9 years and when I look to see what's stalling out, it's not WebmasterWorld it's one of the external resources, like twitter, facebook, and most recently clicky.
I wouldn't just "bring it up" to "say something", because there's no benefit to me in that -- When the site stalls out on me lately most of the time all I see "connecting to in.getclicky.com" or "transferring data from in.getclicky.com"
Does me no good to "tell a story", so please really look into things, because I've been around a bit, and until WebmasterWorld started adding external resources it was one of
[if not the absolute]
fastest sites I've ever been on
[no joke, I used to compare "real world load speed" of sites I was working on to WebmasterWorld and I've had sites I've been working on open in one tab and WebmasterWorld open in another more than once before to try to get a page to load as fast as they did here -- It took me days to get to where what I was working on loaded as fast "in the wild"]
, so I'm not quite sure how or why you're saying WebmasterWorld is slow -- Forget about the "testing software/services", be a real user and compare it to other sites for a while.
Before they added anything external here, I had to double check sometimes to see if a page refreshed and sometimes I would go from one forum to another and didn't notice the page changed, because it was that fast...

What I'm talking about by "being a real user" compared to a tool is it's simple to "trick a tool" into saying the "start to finish" load time is faster than it is by loading things asynchronously via JavaScript, but to the "end user" it doesn't matter that the tool says it's faster by switching something like the twitter code to an asynchronous load -- As a user, the page isn't done loading until I can click the tweet button if I want to.
Real users don't care that a tool says something is faster by loading things late and then "filling in the blanks", in fact, sometimes it's totally annoying to get the text and base template of a page, then start reading and have the template adjust itself and fill things in so everything's accessible and where it should be, because the "fill in the blank process" moves what you're reading and you lose your place.
A tool says it's faster that way, but the reality is, to a real user, the page isn't done loading until everything is in place, works and things stop moving around and filling in -- It doesn't matter what a tool says, because it's just that, a tool, not a user.
When people follow the "tool advice" to the letter, rather than using it as guidelines and then using the site/page as a user would and testing adjustments, they can actually not only slow things down, but make the page/site annoying.

One more note:
If I was a WebmasterWorld admin, I wouldn't worry about things being slow/slower to save than to view, because I'd wager if someone asked "that Brett_Tabke guy" who built WebmasterWorld if he built it with "load speed" as a priority over "save speed", he'd say it was -- Why? Because I think he knew/knows: If someone really wants to "say something", they'll wait; If someone really wants to "know something", you better not "leave 'em hangin" or they'll go away.
I've learned a ton of things that aren't always posted about here over the years, and "Flat out fast. How on earth did they do it? How can I compete?!" is one of the thoughts I've had and tried to figure out, and those thoughts and the tests I've run due to them have made me way better at "finding speed."
There's no question to me, even today with the "external stuff", when compared to most sites
[as a user who doesn't care about a tool report, or if things are loaded inline or asynchronously -- a page isn't done loading until I can see/use everything]
, this site from "click" to "done loading everything and ready to go" is still one of, if not the fastest, I visit.
I guess maybe it just makes me "grouchy" and "frustrated" when "stuff"
slows it down, especially when it's external "stuff", because now that I've seen how fast a site can be, I *expect* WebmasterWorld to be fast and in-the-running with the fastest sites I've been on a "start to finish" from a "visitor/user; I couldn't care less what a 'tool report' says." perspective.
All I really care about as a user and visitor here as far as speed goes is: How long does it take to load *everything* on the page, and the external "stuff" IME is what "stalls it out" and "slows it down" on a "completely done loading, you can use it all" basis -- WebmasterWorld in-and-of-itself is *not* slow by any stretch of the imagination.

put it in your hosts file and point it at local host 127.0.0.1.
under vista/8/7 it is probably in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

I didn't block it yet so I could show what's going on -- I refreshed the Google Forum a few minutes ago and had enough time to do this before the content of the page reloaded:
Yup, I had time to notice it, move the cursor from the refresh button to the bottom of the window, hit command-shift-4, select the area I wanted and take a screen shot of the page load stalled due to GetClicky -- I probably could have done it twice if I wanted.
So much for it not affecting page load speed.

Sure thing -- I took some more screen shots this AM to show what I'm seeing.
It takes days to load for me, and everything's doubled, but if people look at the titles or image names (they're the times of the screen caps) it should be easy to see I'm not "just complaining" -- The top left WebmasterWorld graphic isn't loaded (the alt text is linked) and the border around the header is the same size on the two refreshes I did, so it's easy to see I wasn't just reloading to try and make anyone look bad or anything like that.
The screen shots should be here: [
...] -- If anyone has a problem, except for the days it takes to load, let me know and I'll figure out how to show them better.
thomcraver has stickied me, and based on what I've heard from him, not only is he concerned, he's looking into making changes, which I think is Totally Awesome and *way* more than I ever expected when I posted initially, so if anyone else has an issue with Clicky for some reason, I hope they will bring it up and illustrate it, then give them a chance, because I'm not in any way affiliated, but thomcraver has taken the time out of his day to try and work through things and find solutions to what I've posted about in this thread, which to me is *absolutely cool* and not heard of often these days.
Bottom Line:
Whether the Clicky code is slowing this site down or not, I'm *seriously* impressed with Clicky and thomcraver -- I didn't expect anything from either, but now there's no way I could/would expect or ask for more. I gotta say "Great Job!" and fantastic customer service.

The works of García Lorca, internationally recognized as Spain's most prominent lyric poet and dramatist of the twentieth century, are filled with thinly veiled homosexual motifs and themes.
There has always been homosexual involvement in American musical theatre and a homosexual sensibility even in straight musicals, and recently the Broadway musical has welcomed openly homosexual themes and situations.
Best known for his genius in art and architecture, Michelangelo was also an accomplished author of homoerotic poetry.
The African-American gay male literary tradition consists of a substantial body of texts and includes some of the most gifted writers of the twentieth century.
Combining elements of incongruity, theatricality, and exaggeration, camp is a form of humor that helps homosexuals cope with a hostile environment.
Langston Hughes, whose literary legacy is enormous and varied, was closeted, but homosexuality was an important influence on his literary imagination, and many of his poems may be read as gay texts.
James Baldwin, a pioneering figure in twentieth-century literature, wrote sustained and articulate challenges to American racism and mandatory heterosexuality.
Oscar Wilde is important both as an accomplished writer and as a symbolic figure who exemplified a way of being homosexual at a pivotal moment in the emergence of gay consciousness.
Jason Collins, a center for the Washington Wizards of the National Basketball Association, has become the first professional athlete in a major American team sport to come out while still playing. In the cover story of the May 6, 2013 issue of Sports Illustrated, Collins, an All-American at Stanford University in 2001, writes, "I'm a 34-year-old NBA center. I'm black. And I'm gay."
Collins continues, "I didn't set out to be the first openly gay athlete playing in a major American team sport. But since I am, I'm happy to start the conversation. I wish I wasn't the kid in the classroom raising his hand and saying, 'I'm different.' If I had my way, someone else would have already done this. Nobody has, which is why I'm raising my hand."
"My journey of self-discovery and self-acknowledgement began in my hometown of Los Angeles and has taken me through two state high school championships, the NCAA Final Four and the Elite Eight, and nine playoffs in 12 NBA seasons. I've played for six pro teams and have appeared in two NBA Finals. Ever heard of a parlor game called Three Degrees of Jason Collins? If you're in the league, and I haven't been your teammate, I surely have been one of your teammates' teammates. Or one of your teammates' teammates' teammates."
"Now I'm a free agent, literally and figuratively. I've reached that enviable state in life in which I can do pretty much what I want. And what I want is to continue to play basketball. I still love the game, and I still have something to offer. My coaches and teammates recognize that. At the same time, I want to be genuine and authentic and truthful."
In his wide-ranging essay, Collins recalls that the first relative he came out to was his aunt Teri, a judge in San Francisco. She told him, "I've known you were gay for years." Her casual acceptance encouraged him to come out to other relatives, including a gay uncle, and his twin brother Jarron, also an NBA player.
But, he says, "I realized I needed to go public when Joe Kennedy, my old roommate at Stanford and now a Massachusetts congressman, told me he had just marched in Boston's 2012 Gay Pride Parade. I'm seldom jealous of others, but hearing what Joe had done filled me with envy. I was proud of him for participating but angry that as a closeted gay man I couldn't even cheer my straight friend on as a spectator."
However, he adds, "The recent Boston Marathon bombing reinforced the notion that I shouldn't wait for the circumstances of my coming out to be perfect. Things can change in an instant, so why not live truthfully? When I told Joe a few weeks ago that I was gay, he was grateful that I trusted him. He asked me to join him in 2013. We'll be marching on June 8."
Collins goes on to explain the pain he felt in the closet, the toll taken by having to live a lie. He reveals that he made a small gesture of solidarity with the gay community by insisting on wearing the number 98 on his jersey in honor of Matthew Shepard, who was murdered in 1998.
The 7-foot tall center, who is known as a particularly aggressive player, prides himself on being known as a "pro's pro." He knows that his announcement will surprise many of his colleagues, and he confronts head on the stereotype of gay men as soft. "I hate to say it, and I'm not proud of it, but I once fouled a player so hard that he had to leave the arena on a stretcher. I go against the gay stereotype, which is why I think a lot of players will be shocked: That guy is gay? But I've always been an aggressive player, even in high school. Am I so physical to prove that being gay doesn't make you soft? Who knows? That's something for a psychologist to unravel."
Collins takes comfort in the knowledge that public opinion has shifted in regard to gay rights. In that regard, he thanks straight pro athletes such as Chris Kluwe and Brendon Ayanbadejo who have spoken out on behalf of equal rights, as well as President Obama's mention of Stonewall during his second inaugural address.
Jason Collins is destined to make a real difference in the perception of gay athletes. It will be interesting to see the reaction his announcement elicits from his colleagues in the NBA.
NBA player John Amaechi came out in 2007, four years after his retirement. During his playing career, Amaechi was aware of speculation about his sexual orientation. He even called his homosexuality "an open secret" among sports writers; nevertheless, he did not make any public declaration about it because of possible negative reaction from other players or coaches. "It would be like an alien dropping down from space," he said. "There'd be fear, then panic. They just wouldn't know how to handle it."
While reaction to Amaechi's coming out was mostly positive, former NBA player Tim Hardaway used the occasion to announce his homophobia. "You know, I hate gay people, so I let it be known. I don't like gay people and I don't like to be around gay people," he told a Miami radio station, and proceeded to obsess about having gay players in the locker room. In response, superstar players Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley condemned Hardaway's comments. After he was publicly rebuked by NBA commissioner David Stern, Hardaway issued a half-hearted apology.
While sports may still be the final closet for gay men in American society, the closet door opens a little every time athletes of the caliber of Amaechi and Collins come forward.
Upon news of Collins's announcment, President Bill Clinton lauded his courage and issued the following statement: "I have known Jason Collins since he was Chelsea's classmate and friend at Stanford. Jason's announcement today is an important moment for professional sports and in the history of the LGBT community."
He added, "It is also the straightforward statement of a good man who wants no more than what so many of us seek: to be able to be who we are; to do our work; to build families and to contribute to our communities. For so many members of the LGBT community, these simple goals remain elusive. I hope that everyone, particularly Jason's colleagues in the NBA, the media and his many fans extend to him their support and the respect he has earned."
Supportive statements were also issued by, among many others, Chelsea Clinton, filmmaker Spike Lee, NBA Hall of Famer Earvin "Magic" Johnson, tennis champions Martina Narvatilova and Billie Jean King, former NBA player John Amaechi, White House press secretary Jay Carney, Presidential advisor Valerie Jarrett, NBA superstar Kobe Bryant, and NBA Commissioner David Stern, as well as by the head of GLAAD's sports program Aaron McQuade and Human Rights Campaign president Chad Griffin.
Griffin said, "With his brave and honest announcement today, Jason Collins has forever changed the face of sports. No longer will prejudice and fear force gay athletes to remain silent about a fundamental part of their lives. By coming out and living openly while still an active NBA player, Collins has courageously shown the world that one's sexual orientation is no longer an impediment to achieving one's goals, even at the highest levels of professional sports."
The NBA Players Association also joined the chorus praising Collins: "As Jason wrote, pro basketball is a family, and he has and always will be our brother. The NBPA is dedicated to fighting for the best interests of and uniting all players regardless of race, creed, color, age, national origin, or sexual orientation. Today is another example that we are intent on continuing that work."
The NBPA statement concluded, "We congratulate Jason for having the courage to 'raise his hand,' as he wrote in his story, and start the conversation."
In the video below, from a year ago, Collins addresses issues of his health.

It depends which manga or novel it is........
I suppose if it was my favorite manga and favorite novel.....well, I cant choose either of them. I wouldnt trade one for the other ^^
Watch a movie :thumb:
Serious I hate reading so neither of these has any appeal to me. Thus I will stick wth my:
Watch a movie :thumb:
I would most likely chose manga over novels because mangas have pretty pictures :D but as others have listed on this thread, it doesn't really matter as long as the story is good :thumb:
well i don't read as much as i could but i do enjoy a good novel, but i also enjoy a good manga
so to me is doesn't matter if its a manga or a book, as long as they have a good plot, character, etc.
that's tough, but id have to say novel, only if it a good one though, cuz i like alot of manga and id rather read a manga if the novel choice sucks. i think a novel would be more beneficial in general knowledge, though mangas have more japanese culture and could teach someone about it.

This paper, using Cranford, Ruth, Wives and Daughters and Sylvia's Lovers, develops the topics of the Scott chapter to suggest that, through an awareness of the power of time and circumstance to shape our lives, the traditional female values of love and forgiveness are revealed as our best hope for changing the course of history and directing the future of the community and the nation.

Comparing offensive players to an ILB isn't a fair comparison. They aren't trying to make plays in the middle of the field and bring down guys who are 240+ on almost every play..
You were talking about spence only being 5-11 im showing you two very good linebackers who were that height. Like I said earlier and some else verified my comment that farrior was playing around 230 or under, he had no probably tackling big backs and tight ends.
I'm showing you cant also go by what the typical height weight for positions players are n the nfl I showed you two safeties that were very good at 5-9 and you want safeties to be 5-11 and up, I showed you two great wr who are 5-8 5-9 who are pro bowlers in a league where wr should be 6-0 and up. Just like how you say linebackers should weigh more cause of running backs and tight ends, well wr should be taller cause corners are 5-11 and up so you would think welker and smith would not be good but that's the opposite because they are football players.
You're right - don't judge offensive players on their weight. Show me another ILB that's 230. I don't mean in the 230's, I mean another ILB that is 230 - 232 lbs. He's too small and if he puts on size, he's taking away from his one and only asset - coverage speed. He can't blitz, he can't tackle guys bigger than him consistently and he has a hard time disengaging Guards and Tackles at the line to make a tackle for loss. He's a 3rd-and-passing distance ILB that they're hoping and praying can develop into an every-down, but I doubt it. If he puts on size, he loses his only asset and the only thing he brings to the table. .
Here's a snipet from the Baltimore sun
A lean Lewis reported to training camp last week and acknowledged he is probably the lightest that he's been since he arrived in Baltimore as a rookie in 1996, burdened by questions about whether he was too small to hold up at middle linebacker.
Sixteen years, 2,586 tackles and 13 Pro Bowl invites later, those questions are again being asked of
Lewis who put himself through a rigorous offseason workout program he says has him weighing less than 240 pounds.
Lewis has played much of his career between 250 and 260 pounds.
"It is a passing game," said Lewis, who has declined to reveal his exact weight. Lewis weighed 235 pounds in his rookie season. "It's a quick game [that] they want. Offenses want to really exploit 30-40 points a weekend. It's about creating mismatches, I think."
"I think it will become a trend," said Larry Coyer, a former defensive coordinator for the Denver Broncos and the Indianapolis Colts. "It's changed in college football and [teams] are playing tag football with the spread offenses. They are playing with different types of athletes than they used to play with. The Ohio States, Michigans, Nebraskas, Oklahomas, they were going to pound you. But they don't do that anymore. They are spread offenses. [The NFL] is getting the athletes that are available to them: fast, skilled, smaller and more athletic guys."
"Daniel Jeremiah scouted the NFL for the past eight seasons, including a stint with the Ravens. He isn't sure if other veteran NFL linebackers will follow the lead of Lewis and fellow Ravens' inside linebacker Jameel McClain, who also shed some weight this offseason. But after watching the college game closely over the years, he can easily project where the pro game is headed.
"In the college game over the last eight years, linebackers have gotten smaller and smaller as a result of all the spread offenses that you see,"
said Jeremiah, now an analyst for NFL.com
. "There aren't any 250-pound linebackers to draft.
The last three or four years,
the league has really started to get packed with these linebackers that are between 230 and 240. It seems to kind of be about the most you can get on a linebacker."
Of course there is the expecting of Willis urlacher Cushing and such but it's a new era now like the what those experts have said.
So, you haven't watched him at all playing for Miami? I guess that's why you're so high on this kid. Go watch college film on him and tell me that's our next ILB.
10 pounds might not seem like a lot of weight on paper but in reality, it's a lot of weight to put on.
That's great for Farrior and that's why he wasn't ever - in his career - a top 10 Linebacker. We don't need someone that is 230 trying to tackle Gronkowski and Hernandez because frankly, it'd be embarrassing.
I never said I was high on him go back and look I said he is unproven but has the upside to be very good. The same
you think of Jordan.
And spence was very good in the run game at Miami he has 46 tackles for lose in his career. He shoots gaps very well to stop the running backs. I've watch a lot of film on him actually esp last year. Go look at Harrison college film, look at kiesel and smith film, Ryan Clark, those guys won't impress you. There are first round Selections ever year with great college film who turn out to be complete busts. That's what the nfl is so interesting because of the unknown factor you never know what your going to get until you put them on the field.
Farrior was the heart and soul of our defense, you can't have top 10 guys at every position the salary cap doesn't allow it.
Safeties and corners tackle those guys all the time and they aren't 240.

I'm looking at either the glock 19 or the ruger p95 . please any susgetions would be great. I'm looking to have a gun that will be reliable and fire every time the p95 keeps me coming back to it. but i know that the glock has a great track history. money is a big part in this but i don't want a cheap gun so i will wait if needed. this gun will be used as my everyday carry gun (ccw) i currently carry a bersa thunder .380 plus i love the gun but it has some ftf issues and i don't want to send it out with out having another gun to carry so why not upgrade. so what do you guys think glock or p95? or if anyone has a different opion on a good carry 9mm that will be reliable please let me know

Ruger is alot better gun IMHO. Then again I hate Dlocks worse than I do stray cats. Cz is another great gun Co that's kinda inexpensive. So is keltec and s&w.
I have a beretta 92fs got it used for 700 awsome reliable gun plus has a external hammer and a safety which I prefer
"You can all go to Hell and I will go to Texas"
S&W 5906 CZ75b
Have a look at the CZ75 in all it`s variations.http://www.cz-usa.com/products/by-category/handguns/ Very accurate, tons of tuning stuff and add ons can be purchased, high cap mag but still a slim design. The CZ75 is very reliable und just plain fun to shoot. For a slightly lighter version, there is a Polymer version out. I think the CZ75 SP 01 Phantomhttp://www.cz-usa.com/products/view/cz-75-sp-01-phantom/ or a P-01, that is a compact version of the newer models.http://www.cz-usa.com/products/view/cz-p01/ It`s always a matter of taste, but everybody I have talked to and read in forums about, that tried a CZ75 will generally never go away from it again.
i have never heard of cz until now sorry am goggling now
also im a big fan of a external hammer and a decocker and single/double action
I have the Ruger SR9c and could not be happier. There isn't anything I would change with this gun. Easy to conceal, shoots very accurately, plenty of safety features. I've put approx. 600 rounds through it without any problem thus far!!
Glock 19 or 17
For CCW I'd say Glock 19 or 26. If you really want a decocker with a hammer they will be heavier and bulkier. The 5906 was mentioned earlier and it's a great choice but heavy. Used ones can easily be found for $300 or a little more. The alloy frame 5903 is lighter.

As one might expect, Hewlett-Packard and Cisco Systems were all over the place, combining to claim the most market share in seven of the 20 product categories.
HP also finished in the top five in eight categories, evidence of its breadth with channel partners. The following slides illustrate the top companies in each category. Each slide indicates the company name, its percentage share of all revenue in that product category through distributors in 2008 and the market-share percentage change from 2007. The vendor with the most share is highlighted in blue, while the company with the most share shift is highlighted in red.

David dIcke Debunked in 19 Seconds

Anonymous Coward

his reptilian theories must have appealed to you deeply because you bought his books. therefore he persuaded you to hand over your money to him, and in return he left you with a fucked up mind.
you obviously believe in icke so badly, otherwise you wouldn't be defending him so staunchly on here.
and while you're away with the fairies on mars, icke is laying in a hammock in hawaii, scratching his balls and drinking his super strength beer... all thanks to the money he swindled from you.
Anonymous Coward 5932072
I defended his right to have his own take on things. As I would for anyone.
I doubt he got rich off the few bucks I spent on his books. They were well worth it.
I have also bought books by Voltaire, Mary Shelley, Bram Stoker, Fitzgerald, the Bronte Sisters, etc.
I doubt they swindled me, either.
All well worth the money and to have in my extensive library. All part of having a reading hobby.
Anonymous Coward 1069792
defending a conman for taking your money and implanting false information into your mind? ok, your choice.
p.s. shelley, stoker, etc, wrote fiction, so you knew it was just that. icke writes fiction and markets it as truth. as a result his readers can no longer discern fact from fiction.
Anonymous Coward 5932072
He hasn't conned anyone. He writes books, which you are free to purchase, or not.
He gives lectures, which you may choose to attend or not. You won't go broke if you do go.
Boy, this guy must really get under y'all's skin. He must really be on to something to get this reaction.
Anonymous Coward 1069792
he's a big time money grabber and therefore not spiritual, although he deceives people into believing he is. anyone who is obsessed with making so much money is a materialist and therefore cannot be spiritual. that's why he's a big time fraud, and that's why he pisses me off.

I was charmed at the curb. Color! Cuteness!
But when I reached the front door I saw something that made me nervous. The square cover plate for the deadbolt was crooked.
It was a small thing, but it set off alarm bells in my head. If no one cared to make sure that the front door looked splendid, what was the quality of the finish details inside this recent remodel?
A bit sloppy, as it turns out.
Chipped floor tile on the landing at the top of the basement stairs. Uneven tiles and grouting around the master bath tub. That's enough for me to recommend that anyone interested in this house check it over carefully. (While you're looking, be sure to note the lack of closets in the two tiny front bedrooms.)
On the plus side, the location is splendid, within walking distance of the restaurant hub in Tangletown. And the charm I noted at the curb continues inside the house, with a pleasant master suite under vaulted ceilings, a box-beam ceiling in the dining room, and reproduction Arts and Craft light fixtures.
I also loved the window seat built into the stair landing. That's where I'd curl up on a rainy day with a cat and a book. Maybe a book on quality construction techniques.

Recent Bryce Canyon Reviews
A wonderful house in a wonderful location
There were 4 in our group. We stayed for a bit less than a week. We stayed here so that we could have a "home base" for a hiking trip. We hiked Bryce and Zion.....and this place was.....simply put, perfect. The pictures say a lot.....but let me say, the pictures don't say enough. The kitchen is well stocked with quality equipment. This place is very clean. When we opened the door we were greeted with a fresh fragrance and a nicely decorated Christmas tree. It took us a couple minutes to figure out how to work the TV.....but the owners have detailed instructions in a 3 ringed binder that helped us figure it out. The one thing I would like to share with others, that are thinking about renting this wonderful house.....be sure to stop and get supplies (food) before you get to the house.....there is only a very small general store nearby....thankfully the owners mentioned this to us before we showed up.
Beautiful and comfortable home
The owners were very nice and helpful. All of the information which was provided prior to our arrival was easy to understand. One hour to the east is Bryce and one hour to the west is Zion.
The layout of this lovely home was perfect for our group of six adults. There is a wrap around deck. At night we were out there having wine and star gazing while a fire was going in the fireplace. Deer came and visited several times.
We would definitely return to this cabn again!
The only negative part of our stay is that no one in our group could figure out the microwave oven or connect to the wifi.
The owner was available by phone, text and email before and during our stay and is very friendly.

I hadn't read the Gantz for the past half year, and still I want to see what happens to Izumi.
I ll probably watch the next chapter then quit. This is like a shot of morphine, hehehe.
I hadn't read the Gantz for the past half year, and still I want to see what happens to Izumi.
I ll probably watch the next chapter then quit. This is like a shot of morphine, hehehe.
man if izumi dies then their whole team will basically fall apart since he owns like no other
see, what did I told ya, those vampires are sooooooo dead, but now, Izumi will have to deal with some really pain in the ass vampires, those are the 1337 v4mp1r3s (sorry, too lazy to write in full 1337)
Now, Nishi giving a call on the team on what's happening, man, i never expected that, becuz he is not the type of guy that will care for his partners, now oku shut my mouth pretty nice
Now, jack, don't take that very much in point, yes, Izumi is a great fighter, but there are still great members on the team
Damn Oku, I wanna now what hass been of Katou's life, what hapened to his little bro, waaaaaaa!!!!!!
wait a minute guys, so the older ESP (always forgot his name, was it cherry or somthin?) already knew that it was Izumi that killed them in shinjuku
now why dont he doin somthin bout that? (same thing goes to kurono, I mean , izumi kill her girlfriend and he do nothin bout it!)
Oku-sensei really had to explain this thing
oh, I Forgot, thanks 4 the quick-hardwork, Illuminati dudes!
thanks for the DDL
poor izumi.. he's in for a tough fight
Sakata is the older one with the shades. Cherry(Sakurai) is the younger one with the short hair.Originally Posted by edo_shehb
Don't you remember the mission where they hunted Tae very well...? Sakata got his ass kicked by Izumi. So that'd be twice that he lost to Izumi. Kurono couldn't stop him either. And seeing as he could revive her, there wasn't need to try and fight Izumi. Besides Kurono did try to save her. But after she was killed, there was nothing he could do that'd actually help(at the time).
Well thankyou once again IM for a really well done chapter. It's much appreciated.
competion makes all faster :P
It would be a disadvantage if Kurono did decide to exact revenge on Izumi. Izumi is second to none, (expect maybe Kurono himself) as he has proved himself time and time again. In a way, Kurono needed Izumi ... and also because he's now the "leader-type" which won't harm his own allies.
Izumi seems to be tired, t3h 1337 vampires will surely wound him badly/kill him
My preidctions is that Kuruno will come by ^_^

Ran some errands in town today, and when I shut the door at one point it sounded just like a hammer handle was loose inside the door. There's now an empty hole where a bolt head had been, this in the end of the door below the latch and immediately below the VIN sticker. Swing the door in either direction and you can hear something substantial is no longer held in place. Latch, lock, and window crank all behave at present, but I don't want to let this go and let it develop into something.
So, I know I need a bolt (or machine screw or whatever), and that I'll need to remove the inside door panel for access. I'm generally wary of prying off an inside door panel until I know I can do it without damaging something. Is there any trick to removing the driver's panel? (I have crank windows and no auto door locks, no auto anything running to the door.)
And can anyone specify what size bolt I'll need, so I can get it from hardware store or auto supply house -- I HATE dealing with a dealership, and do so only if absolutely necessary.

About Me
I have been playing the Bansuri ( Indian Bamboo flute )since 5 years now. I create mystic spiritual sounds mixed with nature sounds. Also collaborate with Musicians around the world. I am thankful to my Guru Dr.Len Anderson, who is a retired Music School Director & who has been playing all the wind instruments for more than 50 years, for his support & encouragement. I hope you appreciate my music videos & enjoy Love & Peace MOOGI

It is based on an earlier piece for flute solo. It is meant to communicate with the audience and viewers directly -- what IS music if it does not reach a wide and sympathetic audience with much "Love, Melody, Harmony and Joy". Vinod Moogi is that rare thing, a dedicated artist to his fingertips, able to interpret my wishes as a composer. This recording is launching on 8 November 2014, Richard Stoker's 76th birthday -- all good wishes for a Very Happy Birthday and successful coming year! Ms Donatella � Germany : She discovered the celtic harp about 12 years ago and hasn't stopped playing since. She soon got in touch with the spiritual dimension of this instrument, and beside playing tunes, she also started exploring improvisation to "hear" its voice, which she says feels like letting the harp play her, instead of her playing it. She also explored meditative music the same way. She is a passionate musician. After watching some of my videos, which she liked and found fascinating, especially �Monody of waterfalls�, she got in touch with me through a German friend of mine and expressed her interest in playing with me. Now you can see and hear the results. Please enjoy the music with headphones and please share your comments, as they are most welcome.

L International announces quad-core 24 hour laptop
Your dual-core notebook may soon be obsolete because one company is working on a quad-core laptop that could last 24 hours on a single charge. L International has announced that it is building a fuel-cell powered laptop that runs on either hydrogen or methanol. The laptops will also have a touch-sensitive OLED screen which can operate as a "virtual keyboard".
More detailed specifications on the upcoming notebook were not released. L International has a colorful past and was formerly known as Go-L Computers and Liebermann Inc. The company claims to sell large, multi-panel displays along with high-powered desktop computers, but it's unknown if anyone has actually received a working computer.
We hate to bring up old ghosts, but L International reminds us of another company that promised "out of this" world computers. Back in March of 2004, we investigated Michael's Computers for some rather outrageous claims. The owner, Michael Gonzales, said that he sold his computers to the U.S. Navy and had the fastest computers on Earth.
L International didn't say when these super laptops will ship, nor did they specify a price. Calls to the company were not answered.
