I have had this girl Lexii baby sitting for me a few times. She seems like a nice girl that does not disrespect my house. I was getting ready to leave when I over heard her on the cellphone. She had a lot to say about me, my cock, and her masturbating. I pretty much interrupted her, and she was all smiles but a little embarrassed. I comforted her and told her it was a normal thing. She grabbed my cock and said lets have some fun since I knew everything. She made sure I knew she was eighteen. Lexii had the cutest little pink nipples. Her pussy was a perfect match. She loved it when I fucked her tight wet hole with my tongue, but I loved it even more when I slide my dick inside it. Her body was so tight and clean. I am going to have her cum over more often, and she is going to be doing a different kind of sitting.

I live this face wash. I've been using this face wash for a few years now. it is mild enough to not dry out or irritate skin but does the job wonderfully of cleaning your face. This cleans thoroughly without drying. It takes off all my makeup as well. Great product.

I didn't go looking for this one but Noxzema triple clean was a refreshing surprise. This multi-tasker claims to act as a face wash, fights bacteria, scrub, face pack, oil remover and spot reducer, all rolled into one!

Ambi even and clear works wonders it gentle yet strong enough to fight ance, brights skin, and evens out your complexion with ambi you cant go wrong

Mary L.G. Theroux | Childhood Poverty, Government Failures, and the Need for Economic Liberty
Recorded: Thursday, March 26, 2015
Sacramento, California
Independent Institute Senior Vice President Mary L. G. Theroux testified before the California State Senate's Budget Subcommittee on Health and Human Services, at the request of State Senator Jeff Stone. The witnesses spoke about California's Maximum Family Grant rule for families on welfare. The rule caps grants and does not increase grant money to mothers on welfare when they have more children. Mary testified about the causes of poverty and of the need for other, non-government options for poor families. She introduced ideas for helping the poor through private resources and organizations, instead of government agencies where families and women often find themselves trapped in a cycle of poverty.

CHICAGO – Chris Rock isn't a huge writer/director, but when he does make a film, it's an event to consider. For example, he made black president tale "Head of State" long before then-senator Barack Obama was even considered for the real-life role, and whether behind the stand-up mic or in an interview, he's a voice to be reckoned with.

Patent Troll Goes After Notebook Cooling 131
from the cool-before-you dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
All this "treble damages" stuff for people who willfully infringe is so onesided.
There should be penalties for patent holders who willfully allow infringement in the name of increased damages.
is that there is no adversarial position, as in a civil or criminal lawsuit.
This means there is no effective counterpoise to the seeker of the frivolous patent, since the patent office itself has nothing to lose from rank incompetence.
An attorney team whose reward is correlated with the number of patents it gets dismissed or invalidated would be quite interesting.
Then we need to work on the broad strokes of varying patentable periods depending on the field at hand. Drugs, software, and shoes probably ought to be patentable for differing periods of time.
My understanding is that patent examiners simply go off the information that's filed alongside the patent. If a patent isn't really novel, they wait until a re-examination request comes in - usually as a result of litigation around the patent.
A penalty for deliberately trying to mislead the patent examiners would go a long way towards resolving this problem...

Historical Traveler Reviews Holiday Inn Boston Brookline
Enjoyed our stay at your hotel
We enjoyed our night's stay at your hotel. The location was great for catching the T to get to a Red Sox game and Hard Rock Cafe for dinner. We found the room to be clean and inviting. My sons really enjoyed a dip in the indoor pool. I liked the interior layout which resembled a courtyard.
We will be back!
Many problems
I debated whether to give one star or not, but it did provide the bare essentials. And neither was noise a problem.
What was a problem was their management. We had a large group of people visiting Boston for a wedding. Most of us stayed there for a night or two. Almost everyone one of us had the same story: none of the reservations we made corresponded to what we actually got. For example, many of us requested adjoining rooms, and this was done weeks in advance. At check in, no record of this.
Also, they have a fairly decent buffet. However, we arranged tables for a large group at breakfast, which they assured us was no problem. Come breakfast time, they couldn't fit us all together, despite their promises to the contrary the day before.
All in all, it wasn't horrible, but there were many little frustrations that could have easily been avoided. The front desk simply needs to do a better job of keeping track of things.
Are we talking about the same hotel?
My husband and I just spent Saturday night June 11 at the Holiday Inn Brookline. We were in Room 189 which is right next to the hotel jacuzzi and workout room. We had a large window with a flower box that while it didn't have a real view was not terrible.
Everyone we met at the hotel was very friendly and we could not smell the pool or the spa from our room.
Our room had a very comfortabel king bed with four pillows. Everything was clean and fresh smelling.
We had a drink in the bar and the breakfast buffet in the morning. It isn't the best buffet I have ever had but they were making fresh omelets which is always a nice addition.
I got this hotel for a sharply discounted price from sky auction and it certainly didn't affect how I was treated by the staff or the room I was given. There is a $15 fee to park but I expected that.
I had no problem with this hotel what so ever and after what I had read here I wondered what I was getting into. I would stay here again without any reservations about the quality of the stay.
Like a motel with a roof
I stayed at the Holiday Inn in Brookline for a couple of nights because it is close to the Longwood medical area where I had a conference, but other than the proximity to Longwood, there is no other reason I would recommend anyone staying there. The rooms are musty, the beds uncomfortable (pillows are worse), and the only 'window' faces an inner courtyard that is dark, and even mustier than the room itself. They put guests in rooms right next to the pool, which made the whole place smell like chlorine. Furthermore, they began construction as early as 8 am. Overall, I found that it was a very strange hotel, more like a motel really with a roof...design-wise it was bizarre and uninviting. It may be a bit less expensive than other hotels in the area, but next time I would pay a little extra for a lot more comfort.
Cheap, Good Location
I booked the hotel through Priceline for about $55 a night, which is really cheap for Boston. Although located in Brookline, it is easy to get to Boston since the Green line runs right in front of the Hotel. The fenway area of Boston is within walking distance as well.
The hotel itself is weird, many of the rooms dont have windows, and the swimming pool gives a chlorine smell in the main building.
However, for those travelers who need a place to sleep while conducting buisness in Boston, I recommend the Holiday Inn at Brookline because the room is clean, comfortable, and the bathroom is clean.
Not my best hotel experience
The drama with this hotel started before I even arrived. I called to book a conference rate room and was told that the block reserved by the conference had already been filled. But I was allowed to use my AAA card discount for a nonsmoking room and offered a chance to sign up for a Holiday Inn Member Rewards Club. Once I arrived in Boston I went straight to the hotel. Since it was before 3pm, the person at the front desk had to check to make sure my room was clean. He assured me that it was and I went to my room. IT WAS A SMOKING ROOM!!! I went back to the front desk to be moved and was told that they were overbooked and could not offer me another space. I called the conference organizer and she was outraged that I did not get the conference rate. They would not change the rate they charged me and I witnessed them telling other conference members that they did not have rooms for them. Only after a huge arguement did they offer then a room at a sister hotel at the same rate at which they made their reservation. I visited some people with non-smoking rooms had rooms that smelled just as bad as mine! There were several other problems such as cracked walls, chipping plaster from the ceilings and peeling paint on the walls. The only thing that made the hotel worthwhile was the excellent food, the expensive but well made drinks at the bar, and it was very close to a stop for the subway or "T". I would not choose to stay at this hotel again.
Dingy halls and windowless rooms
After staying at this hotel for 6 nites I must say I wouldn't go back. No window in our room and the hall is dingy and dark....they should only use the new section of the hotel and forget the rooms by the pool...that is where I was stuck....asked for a room for handicapped and they where unable to fill my request ..parking garage was terrible to get in and out of....
needless to say if I didn't need to be near the local hospital I would I checked out...
Conveniant and clean
Great location on the T, room (food) service closed early but probably just a slack employee. Clean, friendly and nice for walking and exploring beautiful old buildings. Parking costs $15.00
Very Nice Hotel
Enjoyed the Holiday Inn Brookline very much. The hotel is located on the T which made getting in and out of the city very easy. We found it more affordable than staying downtown.
Felt like I was staying in a cave!
We stayed here for one night while visiting some friends in Brookline.
It was one of the oddest hotels I've ever stayed at. The rooms had no windows to the outside, just to the inside courtyard, which featured a pool. The whole place smelled like chlorine and it was dark, dark, dark.

There are a number of outdoor festival sites in the US that have that extra special 'something' that makes people come back year after year. Florida has Spirit of the Suwanee Park, for example. What usually sets a festival location apart, for me at least -- is a mix of breathtaking natural beauty, and of course -- the music.. But for me to come back year after year, it's gotta have a little something on top of that.. Something that's a little different.. Perhaps a bit comically-odd, at times. Something one can't quite verbalize.

Kent State's Nursing Home Administration Program Earns AccreditationPosted Oct. 15, 2012 | Kathleen Paukst
Pictured above are four graduates from Kent State University's nursing home administration program. The program boasts a 100 percent employment rate.
Kent State University's Nursing Home Administration program (NHA) recently received recognition, becoming one of only eight accredited programs in the country and only the second in Ohio by the National Association of Long Term Care Administrator Boards (NAB). At the annual NAB meeting this past June, the Board of Governors was unanimous in its decision to accredit Kent State's program immediately.
"We worked on getting this accreditation for close to three years," says Donna Alexander, internship coordinator for Kent State's Nursing Home Administration program. "It's really huge for the university because we are only the second program in Ohio to receive accreditation. The accreditation is important to the university because it takes the program to another level. Students will not have to go through the state program for licensure preparation; they can go through Kent State."
Alexander says that with 10,000 people retiring each day, the job outlook for nursing home care is great. Also, according to the U.S. Census, 20 percent of the total population will be 65 or older by 2030.
"The current workers in the field are aging, as well as our population, and services for older adults are becoming very important," says Alexander. "There are so many options in the field of long-term care today that Kent State students will have plenty of opportunities after graduation."
The Nursing Home Administration curriculum is based on standards of excellence, established by the NAB, and strong partnerships with exceptional area nursing homes that focus on providing safe, individualized care.
"The nursing home curriculum prepares the students well for the national and state licensure examinations. The program also includes an 800-hour, two-semester internship requirement," says Alexander. "The hands-on training and experiential learning that students receive is invaluable. The curriculum is interdisciplinary and develops well-rounded students."
Student response to the program has been positive, says Mary Dellmann-Jenkins, Ph.D., director of the Nursing Home Administration program.
"We are getting more and more transfer students from other majors and universities now because they want to be enrolled in a program that has this ranking," Dellmann-Jenkins says. "This accreditation provides documentation of what a great program we have."
Alexander says the Nursing Home Administration program is currently at a 100-percent employment rate and she expects that trend to continue.
For more information about the Nursing Home Administration program, contact Dellmann-Jenkins at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Gravely® is supporting 2015 Student Career Days as a Silver Sponsor for the ninth consecutive year. The annual competition and networking event for students enrolled in green industry programs from colleges and universities across the country is organized by PLANET, the Professional Landscape Network. More than 850 students are expected to participate in this year's event which will be held at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, N.C. from March 12 to 15.
"Student Career days provides a fantastic environment for mentoring and an exchange of ideas between students and green industry professionals, said Ariens Company Director of Commercial Sales Bill Engler. "The event is intense and fast-paced, leaving you feeling energized about the future of the business. We're happy to have the opportunity to get to know the next generation that will be leading our industry."
Students will compete in more than 20 different events that include tree climbing, paver/hardscape installation, wood construction, plant identification, sales presentation, exterior/interior design, irrigation troubleshooting, personnel management, and small engine repair.
Gravely will sponsor the truck and trailer event, as well as the sales event. In the truck and trailer event, a team of students are given the opportunity to load a Gravely mower on a trailer and then drive an obstacle with the loaded vehicle. For the sales event, students must sell a landscape design project to clients. Both events provide a simulation of what it might be like to work in the green industry.
Jim Masters joined the Ariens Company just over a year ago and is bringing more than 30 years of new product development, demonstrated innovation, and world-wide engineering experience from such established industries as automotive, aerospace, military and commercial environments. He now holds the position of Vice President of Ariens Engineering and Quality.
We sat down with Jim to discuss his role at Ariens and how he makes sure Gravely equipment lives up to the quality standards the brand is known for.
Gravely: Can you please describe the quality standards set in place at the Ariens Company, and the quality process that is used when manufacturing machines?
Masters: This is a very involved question, and depending on the detail – could take one to two sentences or require a novel. Something that differentiates us from our competitors is that Ariens quality embeds its discipline at each initial stage of product and process conception, revision/modification and certainly design. With an alignment of the quality discipline under engineering, we have assured ourselves that our quality eyes are focused properly throughout the product's construction and assembly, and furthermore, throughout each and every product's lifespan. We also work very hard to incorporate the voice of our customers into these quality and design efforts. We have found over the years that where the blade hits the turf – that's where the real experiences surface.
Of course, assuring that our products are manufactured to specific requirements remains our utmost priority; however, almost equally as important for us is that our quality vision and long standing culture is embedded into our designs and processes. Having this type of early involvement by our quality team assures us and our customers that at every stage, and at every level, we have a significant member of that team focusing totally on the Ariens quality experience. It's the way it should be, but very few actually do it.
Gravely: You're in charge of engineering for new product development. Can you talk about how you've restructured your team and what it means for the future?
Masters: Of course! We have recently restructured our technical talent base into two discrete functions: one that is dedicated to the product line itself (Engineering Platform Management), and another that is responsible for the technology (Engineering Centers of Excellence [CoEs]). This concentration has and will continue to produce more products more efficiently, as well as turbo-charge our innovation efforts – all to provide even better results to our customers.
The organization is in full swing now at the Ariens Company, and has made exceptional strides not only by improving our new product development efficiency, but by now providing a continuous stream of new solutions and ideas in a timely manner. It's very exciting.
Gravely: Describe your vision and philosophy on new product development.
Masters: This is simple-- lead! I believe we really do understand the landscape commercial market, as well as all of the other markets we provide products and solutions for. I also believe that we are now properly aligned to take advantage of this knowledge, to continue to ask the right questions, reach the right field environments to get the feedback we need to continue our understanding, and then to produce what I feel are both evolutionary and revolutionary new products. This is a very exciting time for me, and I believe for the Ariens Company, as well. Stay tuned – I guarantee you some exciting stuff is in the near future.
Gravely: What goals do you have for "critical to quality" projects? Can you describe what some of those projects are?
Masters: Here at Ariens, we have fairly detailed methods to ascertain a "critical to quality" (CTQ) product. We have mechanisms and triggers in place throughout multiple disciplines (i.e.: sales, dealer channel, customer service, end users, etc.) where issues can and are reported – and depending on the internal trigger criteria established in each of these areas, a CTQ will be generated. There isn't one issue, when brought to the attention of any of these groups, that doesn't get surfaced in some way or another for review and understanding. It is very important for us to keep all of these channels open and to encourage both internal and external feedback on our products.
Once an issue does trigger a CTQ, it gets classified into one of three alerts. A red CTQ alert demands a team on the issue immediately. These may pertain to equipment that is down or has become non-functional for some reason, or may involve a safety or operational concern. Red CTQ's are very rare at Ariens. The next level is a yellow CTQ, which gets submitted to the proper engineering platform manger and is then assigned to the appropriate technical team (with other representation from the company as needed).
These are entered and tracked on real time internal electronic dashboards and are available for Ariens employees to view at any time. The boards contain just what the CTQ/concern is, what is being done to resolve it and when we expect to have it solved forever. The last alert level contains the rest, which are issues that have not triggered a red or yellow CTQ, but are still of significant importance to the company. These are reviewed in detail when we perform a product enhancement, or are evaluating a product or product line. Of course, my goal is zero CTQ's, and that is why I personally review every potential and current CTQ.
Gravely: What are you most excited about for this upcoming lawn and garden season?
Masters: Everything! I don't know how not to be. Every season is exciting, isn't it? It's another chance to get our equipment out into the field, performing to and hopefully beyond our expectations. It's also another opportunity to get in touch with our dealers and end users to continue to even better understand their real world perspectives of living and working with our equipment over time. Best of all, it's another chance to spend quality time with our customers, and to honestly enjoy the satisfaction of our combined efforts during the off season.
What is there not to be excited about every year? Not only is spring traditionally celebrated across the country as a desired seasonal time change, but for Ariens, spring is much more than that. It's a very special time indeed. Just this year we will have launched the new Atlas JSV, a totally different type of 4-wheel workhorse that is specifically designed for the commercial and professional customer. Currently, we are launching the Gravely ZTX, with a whole new look and some very impressive upgraded functions that I am anxious and excited for our customers to see and experience. We're looking forward to this lawn and garden season!
ESTABLISHED IN 1976, BLAND LANDSCAPING COMPANY proudly claims the spot as one leading full-service providers for high-end residential estates and commercial landscaping. Owner Kurt Bland has enjoyed steady success in the industry, and has gained a great deal of insight into what makes a landscaping business work, and what doesn't. We asked Bland to give us some of that insight, in hopes to help educate landscape contractors of all sizes. Specifically, we asked him to talk about his proven-successful approach to equipment asset management. His thoughts on the topic are below:
Our Equipment Asset Program is a reflection of our general philosophy towards business, which includes a deliberate effort to standardize that which can be standardized, in order to lessen work defects and improve performance overall. Whereas some companies, namely smaller ones, in our industry evaluate their equipment purchasing options annually or even between purchases, our philosophy is to thoroughly examine our options every five years. This way, we can make educated decisions about which equipment to operate for specific functions within the company with a longer term view of ownership and the benefits of standardization.
We work deliberately to reduce the variety of makes and models that we own and operate. This strategy lessens the parts inventory we must stock, and it makes training of mechanics and crew members much more streamlined. For example, all of our walk behind and riding mowers are Gravely brand units. Within the overall fleet, the overwhelming majority of machines are either Pro-Hydro 48-inch walk behinds or 152 XDZ riding mowers. If a crew member gets moved between crews, he is more readily adaptable to the machinery on either crew. If a machine requires repair, chances are that our "service loaner" unit is going to be the same, or very similar model, to the one the crew operates every day. This long term view towards equipment ownership and standardization is a recurring theme that rears its head in other parts of our business, as well.
Historically, we have always owned machinery and vehicle assets ourselves and avoided leasing. This is something we evaluate periodically, and our position may shift, pending the final outcome of changes to tax laws. We view this decision as being strictly a financial and tax planning question. Some companies elect to lease in order to pretty up their balance sheet, while others do it to spread their sources of financed capital to off balance sheet positions. With congress having extended section 179 deductions, and the fact that leased assets will have to be reflected on balance sheets in the future, the once attractive appeal of leasing is diminishing.
That could change, and our position could be influenced by such changes. It really comes down to an assessment of the company and its owners' financial strategy and tax situation. We have grown our business organically and growth has never been allowed to outpace earnings. Continual re-investment into the company has been required in order to fund the capital assets such as trucks, machinery, and real estate. For some companies, growth outpaces earnings, or they may not have a robust balance sheet that allows for traditional financing or cash purchases. Finally, there is one other feature about leasing that we have considered, which is the ability to return the machines at the end of a lease without having to sell them. So far, this benefit has not been valuable enough for us and we are pleased with the long service life we get from Gravely products. While we retire or salvage most machines after five years, we have some that are older but still reliable enough to stay in the fleet after as many as six or seven years. If these were leased machines, we would have lost big.
Our vehicle and equipment assets represent nearly $6 million in combined value, after accounting for depreciated value. That number considerably understates what our replacement cost would be, considering that our machines get regular service and attention. The notion that proper preventive maintenance is something to do as an afterthought when you aren't busy doing something else is simply not tolerated. For this reason, we do not let anyone other than trained mechanics work on our machinery and fleet assets. Ten years ago we built a full service equipment and automotive shop. Today, the shop is equipped with multiple machinery lifts, an auto lift, tire changer, and all kinds of specialty tools. Inside the shop we have a two person off road machinery team and one automotive preventative maintenance mechanic who also does light repairs.
Our mechanics see every machine every week. Three weeks per month, a mobile preventative maintenance truck comes to a job site and does maintenance, lube, safety inspection, blade change, and filter clean-out. This happens without interrupting the crew because it is scheduling ahead. Once per month, each truck and its assigned machinery come in for a full on-the-rack inspection, preventative maintenance, tire rotation, and repairs. We provide our team with a pool of shared loaner machines to use when we have to pull an asset out of service. This is normally due to a safety violation that requires immediate lock-out, or observation of a potential major part failure ahead. Every winter, we bring all of the machines in for a thorough winter service.
All of this costs money, but more importantly it saves money and prevents downtime. From our point of view, the best way to save money on machinery is to prevent downtime, and we invest substantially in doing so.
Miron Construction, an industrial construction company headquartered in Neenah, Wis., was recently introduced to Gravely's line of professional equipment. Ariens Company has previously had a relationship with Miron, as they were contracted by the company for prior construction projects.
While the two companies have enjoyed a longstanding relationship, Miron has only recently purchased products from Ariens Company. In early December, our sales team delivered a fleet of Gravely Atlas Job Site Vehicles, Ariens Path Pro's, Ariens Power Brushes and Ariens generators to the Miron offices in Neenah. We recently sat down with Pete Klosterman, vice president of field services for Miron Construction, to talk about his first few weeks with the products.
Ariens Company: You've had a relationship with the Ariens Company for years. Why did you decide to purchase Ariens/Gravely equipment now?
Klosterman: Honestly, we thought of Ariens Company as more of a manufacturer of residential-type products until we were introduced to the Gravely line. After the introduction, it became apparent that Ariens Company produces industrial-type products that will serve our needs in the construction industry. We have had a previous relationship with Ariens Company and have enjoyed opportunities to build for them. To date, they have been great to work for and we are looking to continue our partnership by doing what we can to promote Ariens and Gravely products.
Ariens Company: Since you were just introduced to the Gravely lineup of professional products, you were probably using a competitor's products before this. Specifically focusing on the Atlas JSV, how does your experience with it so far stack up to the competition?
Klosterman: Our utilization is in it's infancy to date, although it is already apparent that the target of creating a machine that is quick to use and maneuverable, yet retains ability haul a healthy payload and be durable, has been accomplished. Other brands we have utilized have proven to be too recreational and not durable, or too slow, to be efficient for our needs.
Ariens Company: It sounds like the Atlas JSV will be a perfect fit for the environment that your staff works in every day. How do you foresee your team using the job site vehicles on a day-to-day basis?
Klosterman: They will be used in very versatile environments, from hauling concrete-form hardware and masonry materials around a site, to moving tradespeople and their tools to work locations on large industrial project sites, to touring clients, owners and architects around a project site, enabling them to see the evolution of their dreams.
Ariens Company: Thanks so much for your time today. We're happy for the opportunity to continue our working relationship, and we hope that our products serve you well.
Klosterman: Not a problem. We're excited about the new vehicles. Beyond the quality manufacturing, the support network behind your products makes using the Ariens/Gravely brand very inviting.
The 2014 Ariens and Gravely Dealer Summit was a huge success with over 250 dealerships in attendance from the United States and Canada. There were many activities planned including the introduction of the new Gravely Atlas. The Atlas is not an ordinary UTV, it is a JSV (Job Site Vehicle) designed to help the end-user get their jobs done more efficiently. The dealers were able to gain performance knowledge through the six demonstration areas set up featuring the benefits of the Atlas.
There were other product updates announced, and the dealers had an opportunity to demo the mowers and equipment for both Gravely and Ariens. Visit our Facebook page to view the pictures from the event.
Our guest speaker was Tim Larson, Vice President of Customer Experience of Polaris Industries, Inc. Tim's message provided insight into their company's dealer initiatives and was very informative as we mark the launch of the Gravely Atlas JSV.
Many Gravely dealers were recognized for their achievements for the past year. Here is a list of the top performer in each category:
We are proud of all of our Ariens and Gravely dealers and appreciate all they do for the success of our company.

you gotta learn to feed the masses before you spread da crawdads on da table......Boiled, taters, carrots, cauliflower, sausage, corn on the cob, sheeps head,{fish} hot tamales, eggs, beets, You feed them this first.......And you always hide a few pounds from every pot you boil....ooops for got the garlic again........
For ever Vigilant..... One Shot One Kill.........
And mushrooms and pearl onions. We eat until we're full, then stand up and eat some more. Makes more room that way.
The only thing I don't like about a crawfish boil is the next day. Esp. with my cousins. I don't drink but they make it up for me.
Hanging out with them the next day, beer, crawfish, all them mushrooms and other veggies....and they get you when you're in the middle seat of the truck and won't roll the windows down!
Had a big boil at my parents house Friday. It was great. We're gonna use what was left to make a macque choux. My wife makes the best. 2 plates everytime.
"Don't let macho be your epitaph."
---Ed Lovette
Now I gotta go find some Red Stick Ramblers music on YouTube.
I'm sorry to say but the GF crawfish boil didn't happen........yet. The man (farmer) that provides the crawfish only had 350 lbs of the 600 that was needed. The other local cajun members here will understand why the crawfish were in such short supply. We had a cold snap a week or so ago and when that happens the crawfish go deep into the ground and won't come up until it warms up. But, in a few weeks the crawfish boil will happen and I will take pictures then.
Easter is the highlight of the crawfish season for the farmers. EVERYBODY (Catholics) wants to do a crawfish boil on Easter Sunday.
Anyway, Happy Easter to everyone and keep watching for the pics, soon.
I was lucky yesterday, i picked up 35# @ $1.00 a #.....Real nice.......... This morning for breakfast I had the left overs and washed it all down with the the hair of the dog.............

Inspiring: Alabama Senate Votes to Nullify Unconstitutional Federal Gun Laws
Our movement is a law-abiding one. It is a movement that respects the laws of the land, even when our so-called leaders don't. People will sometimes misconstrue our advocacy as an advocacy of lawlessness or of law-breaking. Our point is exactly the opposite; we advocate not that citizens ought to break the laws. Instead, our reverence for law and order run so deep we encourage everyone to obey the law- even legislators and law enforcement.
The Second Amendment is the supreme law of the land concerning the right to keep and bear arms. The Second Amendment is astonishingly simple and outlines, essentially, that the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed upon. Further, Supreme Court decisions in Heller and McDonald v. Chicago have affirmed that the right to keep and bear arms applies as an individual right and that it applies to citizens of all states, respectively.
We urge everyone to obey the law and that means following the spirit, intention, and letter of the Constitution.
To that end, the Alabama State Senate has approved a bill that would prohibit federal gun control laws from being upheld in the state if those laws are considered to be a "violation of the Second Amendment."
The media has remained quiet on the legislation that passed on Tuesday with a whopping 24-6 majority. The bill serves as a reminder to the federal government that states are not obliged to cooperate with laws that violate the already-existing Constitutional protections ratified by states in 1791.
The bill's sponsor, Republican Sen. Paul Sanford of Huntsville, claimed that the bill comes as a result of very concerned constituents who have serious concerns over the federal government's interest in regulating the sale, purchase and ownership of firearms. : Sanford, who claims to have a pistol permit and who carries a firearm regularly, stated that he was not trying to render federal law null and void, but only allow Alabama the legal ability to not recognize laws that violate the Constitution.
Ironically enough, Democratic Senator Bobby Singleton of Greensboro, who voted against the bill, claimed that state law could not trump federal law, saying, "This bill is null and void on its face."
Singleton is right that state law cannot trump existing federal law on issues reserved for federal enforcement. States cannot, for instance, make laws declaring free speech illegal or declare that citizens of that state must assent to quartering soldiers in their home.
However, what makes Singleton's assertion ironic is that the bill that passed the Alabama Senate does not seek to undermine federal law; in fact, it does exactly the opposite. It is an assertion that the federal government has the right to set the law concerning firearm ownership, and it did exactly that by enacting the Second Amendment. Alabama patriots are respecting and adhering to that law, even if the federal government tries to undercut it with unconstitutional, illegitimate contemporary gun laws.
Will this turn back the tides of anti-gun madness? No. Will this news irreparably dishearten the tyrants of the world who seek to disarm us? Not likely. This is a symbolic victory, a reminder that we are not alone in our reverence for the Constitution and the laws outlined therein. Our movement is a law-abiding one that recognizes legitimate laws.

Problem with basing rewards on average play-time
Mapolis tell us, regarding the NW Foundry rewards system:
So my question is this: How will grinders affect the mission's rewards?
Ex: My "Return to Terra Nova" takes about an hour to play, when reading everything. But it takes about 10 minutes if I just hit F and run from place to place.
If 50% of my players are grinding it as fast as possible, and 50% are reading it, then the average playtime would be like 25 minutes, right?
The folks who take the time to really play get rewards that are diminished by the folks who don't take the time to play. Meanwhile the grinders who spent 10 minutes pressing F get rewarded with a 25 minute reward.
And, we don't have a percentage of idlers to offset the effect of the grinders. Isn't this a problem with the system?
The grinders get rewarded, and the careful players get punished.
If I understand it correctly, those grinders, by the very fact that they are speed-playing, will be decreasing the quality of the reward. Yes, they'll get it quicker, but it will be less.
If the rewards end up being good enough, they will be an incentive for people to take their time playing Foundry missions so they get the max possible reward, rather than the quickest possible. I imagine there will be subsets of players that take both approaches no matter what happens.
I think there's going to be flaws with every system, but so far I would say that what's being described for NW is going to be better than the Foundry wrapper we have now. Not perfect, mind you, but a step in the right direction.
What a stupid idea, a slow reader gets better rewards. Sounds like a mission to avaoid.
But yeah being able to AFK to up mission rewards is lame.
I also wonder how they will track how long a mission takes.
Is it while you are in the custom maps? What if a majority of the mission takes place in ESD?
on the other hand, this discourages the so called "quickie missions" and encourages people to play the longer missions for the better rewards.
This is why I like the idea of addig enemy kills to the calculation.
But what if you want to play a non-combat mission

I worked at Landry's full-time (more than 10 years)
I loved the other in house employees
I worked with.
Where to start! The company prides them self on degrading their employees and actually coach their management to do the same. They blast their management on conference calls and emails in front of other management from different stores to humliate them so they try harder. Not uncommon to bring their managers to tears. They buy the cheapest quality food and alcohol to have higher profit. They run skelton crews and have servers, busers and dishwashers prepping and running expo so there more profit to make. This company charges the server 3% of credit card sales to pay for the fees that the credit card companies charge for their services. They charge you $18 a month to have "free"soda and 50% off if you eat their. It is pushed apon you with a threat to keep your job. If you drop it you get yelled at. Your job depends on how many Landrys Select Cards you sell. It is a ruthless company that does what they can to take advantage of anyone and everyone they can. They run run a real life Monoply game buying up sinking restaurant chains and close all concepts that they are not able to purchase the building from. They care about realeste and not people. They could care less about their customers or their employees. There is NO integrity or morals in this company and as a result there is a lot of theft. Mangers steal tips from servers and product and blames the "hourlys". Horrible company full of horrible people that run it. Run fast and don't look back!
They would not listen or do anything to change, so not point in commenting.

I have been working at Landry's full-time (less than a year)Pros
NONE, They will try to get you with a well paid salary so you can stay but if you have a family and a life outside the restaurant it wont work.Cons
No leadership from upper management. Focus on numbers and bottom line only, you cant achieve those number by working 50-55 hours that they said you will work so you have no option that to work 65-70 including every holiday. Do not care about quality. Many of their restaurants prefer to sell spoil food so they can have no waste to hit that number. Every restaurant is missing 2 salary employees because they get in and get out. 4 people train with me 5 months ago and only another chef and me are lasting which soon will be down to 1. Since the first day of training until today no one in there is happy.Advice to ManagementAdvice
There is a reason why your restaurants are always short of employees and that happens when you work with someone that doesnt have leadership and doesnt care about their employees.Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEO

Ever since landrys took over mortons the company has gone downhill every day.they no longer have core values and the mission statement is a joke. We worked with no hostess no bus boy one person in back kitchen one on front line. This is a place that charges $100 a person check average.Servers having to make their own salads and desserts and most of the time making their own drinks because they have to go so short staffed so they keep labor coat to the bRe minimum . The place is a joke.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Go back to the core values. It's not always about the bottom line. Look into what your management team is doing like getting drunk on the job and leaving the job on a Saturday night with no manager on duty. Are you blind????Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEO

Nifty Firefox extensions
Mouseless Browsing
Although a netbook is a perfect machine to have with you on the road, its minuscule trackpad can be a real pain. Also, an airplane seat or a coffee table does not have much space for a mouse. In these situations, you need the Mouseless Browsing [7] extension (Figure 4). When you restart Firefox after you've install the extension, you will notice that every link on any web page now has a unique number. Now just type the number next to the link you want to open and press Enter. In this way, you can navigate the web without touching your mouse or trackpad. The Mouseless Browsing extension has a host of options you can tweak to make it behave the way in which you want. For example, you can make the extension show the ID numbers only when you press a specific key combination, tweak the ID number style to minimize clutter, and enable the numeric pad for mouse-free browsing.
Quite a few extensions are out there that you can use to take screenshots of web pages, but Screengrab! [8] lets you do this with a minimum of fuss and has a few useful features to boot. With this extension, you can take a screenshot of a selected portion of the page, the visible part of the page, the entire page, or even an individual frame. When taking a screenshot, you can save it on the disk or copy it to the Clipboard. By default, Screengrab! saves screenshots in the PNG format, but you can switch to JPEG if you like.
The web is brimming with services that let you save and share notes, but sometimes you just need a simple tool to scribble down notes and ideas quickly. In this case, you need QuickNote [9]. As the name suggests, this extension adds a notes feature to your browser.
Although QuickNote installs as a conventional Firefox extension, it requires an extra step if you want it to load notes in the sidebar (Figure 5). After installing, restart your browser and enter chrome://quicknote/content/install.html in the Address bar. Now press the Install QuickNote in the Sidebar button, and you are set. From QuickNote's preferences, you can tweak note colors and enable multiple tabs, allowing you to manage several notes at once. All notes are saved as plain text files, and you can always extract them from the browser by pressing the Save as button.

Man on moon [Illustrative].
(photo credit:REUTERS)
Tel Aviv-based company Torah on the Moon was hoping to deposit Torah scrolls on the moon as part of a cultual preservation project in case something should happen to Earth, the Washington Post reported this week.The plan relies on being able to piggyback on the mission of the winner of the Google Lunar X Prize, which was offering $20 million to the first privately funded group to reach the moon by the end of 2015.Eighteen teams around the world were competing, and Torah on the Moon would pay whichever company it deemed capable of carrying its capsule. The team had been hoping to send its first capsule up with a lander built by Israeli non-profit SpaceIL, a Lunar X competitor, but SpaceIL refused.The religious nature of the cargo was bound to ruffle a few feathers."Such an object is supposed to be treated with extreme respect and care. I find it hard to believe that shooting it into space can fall under this heading," Nicholas de Lange, a researcher in Jewish and Hebrew studies at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom was quoted as saying. Last week, the engineering arm of the European Space Agency confirmed that it has been commissioned to test the space-hardiness of the capsule that would contain the Torah, the Post reported. The capsule must be designed to protect the sacred text from the moon's harsh radiation and temperature changes for at least 10,000 years. The moon lacks an atmosphere to trap heat, and the surface temperatures can rocket to a daytime high of about 253 degrees and plunge to 279 degrees below zero at night. There were separate plans in the works to carry Hindu scriptures called the Veda and the I Ching, an ancient Chinese philosophical work, to the moon if the Torah mission was successful. The texts would join a Bible left on the moon in 1971 by Apollo 15 commander David Scott.

The Philip Nursing Home held its annual trick or treat event for young children on the afternoon of Oct. 31. The residents handed out candy as the costumed kids made the rounds in the cafeteria. Drinks and snacks were also offered. The many kids, and the residents, got their fair share of treats and visiting.
Reptile expert Henry Michaloski shows off Houdini, his red-tailed boa constrictor, to the Haakon elementary students. Michaloski used humor, musical ditties and audience participation to teach reptile terminology. Constantly using rhymes, ditties and sing-along actions, animal expert Henry Michaloski and his reptile menagerie entertained and educated Haakon elementary students in a special assembly, Thursday, Oct. 23, in the Fine Arts Building. His "scales and tails" presentation seemed to be as much fun for him as for his audience.
The Philip Scotties brought home the 2014 boys' State "B" Cross Country Meet first place team award, the girls' ninth place recognition and the combined team runner-up spot. Four athletes earned medals for finishing in the top 20, the first time Philip has accomplished such a feat.

The cross country, volleyball and football teams were introduced and praised, and Reedy's first duty was to bless their equipment. The traditional burning of the Philip "P" was held at the evening's close.

Dave Grohl: Foo Fighters Are Beginning Work on New Album
So much for that Foo Fighters hiatus announced in October 2012! According to frontman Dave Grohl, work on a new Foo Fighters album is set to begin this week.
So much for that Foo Fighters hiatus announced in October 2012! According to frontman Dave Grohl, work on a new Foo Fighters album is set to begin this week.
Join me for some spicy rock and roll on 'Your Sunday Brunch' between 7 and 10 on January 27th.
We have some future Rock and Roll Hall of Famers, artists with new releases coming out, musical birthdays and an album side.
This is a big year for Rush, who will finally be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this April after more than a decade of being turned down for the honor. And who will be on hand to deliver the induction speech for the legendary Canadian prog-rockers? None other than "self-professed Rush superfans" Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins of the Foo Fighters, reports the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Have you seen any of the new Alfred Hitchcock movies?
'Your Sunday Brunch' on the first weekend of December's kind of like a Hitchcock film; filled with suspense, intrigue, thrills and surprises.
Please join me from seven until ten for some tasty tidbits.
Mmmm....do you love waffles?
This is National Waffle Week so grab your syrup and get to ironing some waffles!
It's also a Labor Day weekend, so on 'Your Sunday Brunch' from 7-10 a.m. we'll be playing some working songs, getting ready for some of the great shows in the area and celebrating Friday's Blue Moon.
How about some leftovers on 'Your Sunday Brunch'?
We're going to celebrate Cinco De Mayo, graduation, this weekend's Super Moon, (thanks for the 'Moon' song suggestions), some rock birthdays and we'll play music from some of the bands coming in concert this week.
Turn the page to take a look at the menu.
Did you watch the Grammy's on Sunday?
On February 12, it was music's biggest night, (or biggest award show, anyway), the 54th Annual Grammy Awards broadcast on CBS.
Some of our favorite classic rock artists were nominated for awards and others performed.
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band took the stage to open the show and 'The Promise: The Darkness on The Edge of Town Story' won the Grammy for Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package, it was competing against Sting's '25 Years' release.
Joe Walsh played on a performance of Paul McCartney's new song "My Valentine." Neil Young was one of four performers paying tribute to McCartney. Fellow Beatle Ringo Starr was a presenter of a Grammy Award.
Weird Al Yankovic's, 'Alpocalypse,' was nominated for Best Comedy Album and 'Perform This Way,' (his parody of Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way'), was up for Best Short Form Music Video. (Neither, unfortunately, took home a trophy)
Did you see some concerts this year?
What was your favorite live show of 2011?
We were fortunate to see more than our usual fair share this year and there were some really good ones, so the choice of "the best" was a tough one.
I'd have to say the Foo Fighters performance at the Pepsi Center is the one that really stands out. They played for more than two-and-a-half hours and returned for a five song encore. Their "Wasting Light" album this year is showing up on a lot of "best of" lists and has been nominated for numerous awards.
The bands opening for Foo Fighters put on quite a show too. Cage The Elephant, out of Bowling Green, Kentucky, have a bright future ahead of them. Their second album called "Thank You, Happy Birthday" came out in January 2011.
With pop acts seemingly getting all the attention these days, seeing Foo Fighters representing rock in the 2012 Grammy Awards is a breath of fresh air for fans. The band is nominated in multiple categories for the 54th annual Grammy Awards, thanks to their latest album 'Wasting Light,' which is up for the prestigious Album of the Year trophy.
Foo Fighters hooked up with veteran rocker Joan Jett last night (Nov. 15) on the 'Late Show With David Letterman,' tearing through a raucous version of the title track from the rock goddess' 1989 solo debut album, 'Bad Reputation.'
Were you at the Foo Fighters show Sunday, October 9, at the Pepsi Center in Denver?
Bet you didn't make it to work on Monday morning because the Foo Fighters played until after Midnight, their encore was five songs.
Dave Grohl told the crowd at the beginning of their set that they were going to play for two-and-a-half hours because they have a lot of "*#&@ing songs." And they did, they played all the songs I could think of including; "The Pretender," "Learn To Fly," "Best of You," "Times Like These," "My Hero" and new ones from their Wasting Light album like "Rope" and "Walk."
The Foo Fighters are coming to Denver October 9! We've got more details, and a link to purchase tickets, after the jump.
