Supernatural - Ultimate Quote - 1C - Poll
Posted by Dahne1 at Wednesday, June 26, 2013 18 CommentsPolls Supernatural
Our second set of polls where a little closer than the first with only a few votes separating the winners in several cases. The closest was the Meg-Cas "pizza man" exchange which lost by 6 votes. Next closest were Dean's threatening to shoot Dwayne in Croatoan and Sam's bikini inspector line in Something Wicked, which each lost by 7 votes. Yesterday's polls took us through 1/4 of round one. Today's polls should be interesting because they include some of my favorite and some of my least favorite lines in the entire series. Happy voting!
Quotes Too Long for Poll:
Dean: "Dude, I'm okay. I'm okay, okay. I swear the next person who asks me if I'm okay, I'm going to start throwing punches. These are your issues. Quit dumping them on me." Sam: "What are you talking about?" Dean: "I just think it's really interesting this sudden obedience you have to dad. It's like 'oh what would dad want me to do?' Sam you spent your entire life slugging it out with that man. I mean hell you picked a fight the last time you ever saw him, and now you want to make it right? Well I'm sorry Sam, but you can't. It's too little, too late." (Everybody Loves a Clown)
Dean: "Don't get mad at me. Don't you do that. You know I had to. I had to look out for you. That's my job." Sam: "And what do you think my job is?" Dean: "What?" Sam: "You save my life over and over. I mean you sacrifice everything for me. Don't you think I'd do the same for you. You're my big brother. There's nothing I wouldn't do for you. And I don't care what it takes, I'm going to get you out of this. I guess I've got to save your a** for a change." (AHBL2)
Sam: "I am smart and so are you. You're not a grunt, Dean. You're a genius. When it comes to lore, to…you're the best damn hunter I have ever seen. Better than me. Better than dad. I believe in you Dean, so please, please believe in me too." (Trial and Error)
Sam: "Dean back from the dead. Getting to be a regular thing for you isn't it? Like a cockroach." Dean: "How about I smack that smarta** right out of your mouth?" Sam: "Oh careful now, wouldn't want to bruise this fine packaging." (Born Under a Bad Sign)

The hotel sucks; it didn't have a single guest. It seemed to be a BOOTH BANGLA for us. All employees were newly recruited. Forget about the 3 star facilities of a hotel. It didn't even have an electricity or water facility after 2300 hours.
Review collected in partnership with Cleartrip
We stayed two nights with a group.Food quality is good rest all is terrible.two hours electricity cut in every twelve hours.lift was not working.no spa, no swimming pool, no good gym...no mini bar..all in all would not recommend.
The property is well built... the rooms are nice but the matteresses were not great. Breakfast was a drag, the donuts tasted stale. Nice courteous people, housekeeping was quite prompt and helpful. Kids club was not really helpful for a 4 year old. The food - alacarte was outstanding. Did not expect to get such tasty continental dishes in dharampur.
A Very Good, Beautiful & Overpriced Property. Rooms were big, clean & comfortable, Food was very good, Property was neat & clean with Almost every service except a Swimming Pool.
The Draw Backs are that everything is overpriced from Room/Suite rental to food & Liqueur, Location is also not attractive though we find it away from rush.
Still overall a...
i have been to this hotel twice, but , with the passage of time, instead of improving their standards and facilities, Victoria continental inn has failed miserably in keeping up with the times.
staff is mostly trainee students , so they don't have much knowledge about dealing with the guests , even at the front office.
About the room ,...
The hotel is located at 10mins off the Dharampur main road. This is around 2hrs from Shimla and 30mins from Kasauli. One definitely needs a vehicle to get around from here as there isnt anything around to do or visit.
The Hotel is maintained well and the rooms are very spacious. The rooms have TV, minibar, hair-dryer, locker etc. We...
Nice calm environment. Smiling Staff and good rooms. Over all a nice one night holiday last month at the hotel. Duplex rooms are good for people traveling with kids. Breakfast buffet is large and food is tasty.
Hi,we lived a one night stay in this hotel and had a worst exprience.
Non cooperative staff,overcharging in all the products,Expensive food menu and tasteless food.
Please i recommend not to go there ever......ever....ever....Save Money or better to donate it somewhere inspite of living there.
we recently had a corporate meeting in this hotel.hotel is good but hospitality is pathetic.Hotel staff is quite arrogant.Lifts operated by cards.Practically there is no recreational facilty provided.nothing to view in vicinity area.
The property is an upmarket one, typical city hotel, not at all a resort, hardly any open/green area compared to the size of the hotel in terms of rooms and certainly not in Kasauli.
The property is much closer to Dharampur than Kasauli. The management is certainly misleading its prospective guests by claiming the property to be in Kasauli. I...
Dear Guest
Thank you for taking out the time to write for us. We don't claim that we are in Kasauli We are in Dharampur, the place comes under Tehasil Kasauli. But our location is very good away from the crowd and just three KM from the shimla highway. The road which leads to hotel is wide road ( Double...

ACOSS hosts kickstart of national tax reform debate
In response to the Treasurer's launch of the Government's Tax Reform White Paper at our tax reform breakfast in Melbourne this morning, ACOSS argued that tax reform is the key to resolving our long term public Budget problems. The tax system should be redesigned and strengthened so that people contribute to the cost of services according to their ability to pay.
"We welcome the dialogue on tax reform opened up by the release of this discussion paper. It's an opportunity for the community and business to take the initiative: these hard issues can't be left to Governments alone," ACOSS CEO Cassandra Goldie said.
Full Statement: Tax reform is the key to solving Australia's public budget problems.
Great win! reversal of cuts to vital community legal services
ACOSS has welcomed the announcement today by the Attorney-General George Brandis to restore cuts to vital community legal services.
"This is an essential first step but only the beginning of the work the Government needs to do to repair the damage caused by $1b in funding cuts to community services across the country," said ACOSS CEO Dr Cassandra Goldie.
Read Media Release: Reversal of legal funding cuts an important first step, rest of $1B must be restored.

Community experts launch plan to tackle housing affordability
Peak community and housing groups today called on the Commonwealth Government to work with them in developing a national housing strategy to address the worsening housing affordability crisis in Australia.
The groups, including the Australian Council of Social Service, National Shelter, Homelessness Australia, the Community Housing Federation of Australia and the National Association of Tenant Organisations, today released 'An Affordable Housing Reform Agenda' which outlines reform priorities to achieve an efficient and affordable housing system that strengthens productivity and participation.

Calls for rejection of 'cashless' welfare card ignored
ACOSS today rejected moves by the Federal Government to introduce trials of another iteration of income management through a 'cashless' welfare card.
"Of all the recommendations in the Forrest Review, it is deeply disappointing that the government appears determined to adopt the Review's Healthy Welfare card proposal contrary to widely held expert advice. All the evidence to date highlights the ineffectiveness and high cost of similar income management schemes," said ACOSS CEO Dr Cassandra Goldie.
ACOSS Media Release: Widespread calls for rejection of 'cashless' welfare card ignored.
ACOSS National Conference: Advancing the Common Good
Save the date: June 25-26, 2015
Venue: Australian Technology Park, Redfern, NSW
Registrations are now open for the 2015 ACOSS National Conference with the theme of 'Advancing the Common Good'. This year's annual conference will open discussion about the ways in which we can ensure that policy reforms address poverty and inequality, and how economic growth can be both fair and inclusive.
Find out more about the conference and register here.
Welfare Review: right questions, flawed model
Though welcoming key aspects of the McClure report released today, ACOSS said the final report of the Federal Government's commissioned review of Australia's welfare system was a missed opportunity to move to a more rational system based on people's financial need rather than decisions about 'deservedness'.
Read Full Statement here.
Budget must chart a fairer path back to surplus: ACOSS
ACOSS today urged the Federal Government to focus on restoring revenue by addressing inefficient tax arrangements, rather than through spending cuts, and chart a fairer path back to surplus in its second Budget.
In its Budget submission released today, the peak community sector body has identified more than $13 billion of potential savings in the next financial year, rising to over $18 billion in 2016-17, through measures which it says restore the integrity of Australia's progressive tax system.

80% of community services unable to meet demand
Monday December 8, 2014 - The largest survey of Australia's community services sector reveals that 80% of frontline agencies are unable to meet current levels of demand with the resources they have. The biggest gaps in meeting demand are in the areas of greatest community need.
The survey of almost 1,000 community service workers from around the country shows that 43% of services are simply unable to meet the needs of people coming to them for help. A further 37% can 'almost' meet demand. Only 20% reported being able to meet demand fully.

2.5 million people living in poverty in Australia: ACOSS Report
Sunday 12 October 2014: ACOSS has released a new report revealing that poverty is growing in Australia with an estimated 2.5 million people or 13.9% of all people living below the internationally accepted poverty line.
The report provides the most up to date picture of poverty in the nation drawing on new data released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics Income and Expenditure surveys for 2011-12 and previous years. It finds that 603,000 or 17.7% of all children were living in poverty in Australia.
"This is deeply disturbing and highlights the need for a national plan to tackle the scourge of poverty which diminishes us all in one of the wealthiest countries in the world," said ACOSS CEO Dr Cassandra Goldie.

What I posted (long after the thread had pretty much run its course on gambling) was 'The descriptions of compulsive gamblers given here remind me very much of alcoholics I've worked with.'
A general comment made about no-one in particular. You, however, responded with 'gambling is nothing like alcohol abuse' and sought to justify that unjustifiable statement via your personal experience.
You also decided that when I said 'alcoholics I've worked with' I was setting myself up as an expert on alcoholism. That then gave you the chance to knock me off the perch you created.
And now we have 'So I wasn't far off in my description of my experience in watching my brother in law and his family and the problems I saw in that family.'
Nobody, nobody has suggested that your experience wasn't your experience. What it is not, though, is the universal experience. That's the point you can't seem to grasp.

f.m so from your experience, 2 *very * well respected groups who deal with alcoholism have got it wrong.
*I will though say you are wrong *when you say 'Any family member can see that some one has an alcohol problem'. See this book description about high functioning alcoholics.
It's funny that only you could have the experience and knowledge to be able to say they have it wrong.

Top 25 Storylines Heading Into NBA Training Camp
Top 25 NBA Storylines Going Into Preseason
The NBA season is quickly coming upon us. The league is full of storylines already, even though there have only been summer games played. The superstars have rested, and the role players have perfected their game. It is time to welcome basketball back.
Like every season in sports, the beginning of the season is where most people are optimistic. There are fans of every team that thinks their team can surprise this season. With so many successful underdog stories, can you even blame them?
There are so many stories coming into this season. There are a bunch of superstars that are coming off injuries. Although there was no Lebron James or Carmelo Anthony, there was a lot of players who moved around. It seemed like the top seeded teams got better while the lower seeded teams are tanking for this upcoming draft, which is supposedly stacked with talent. This will make some of the playoff matchups in May very, very exciting.
This season may be one of the most exciting in recent memory. The Miami Heat are looking for a three-peat, but showed some major holes last season. New York has a legitimate fight for which team will run that town. The Los Angeles Lakers are desperately trying to hold on to LA while the Los Angeles Clippers take the grip on the city from them. The San Antonio Spurs are looking to bounce back after a heart-breaking NBA Finals Loss. Without further ado, these are the top 25 storylines to watch going into the 2013-14 preseason.
Nick Villano is the New Jersey Devils writer for Rant Sports. He also contributes to the NFL, MLB and NBA content.
25. Can The Pelicans Compete In The West?
The New Orleans Pelicans made some moves this winter. Can the additions of Tyreke Evans and Jrue Holiday put the team into playoff contention? The second year for Anthony Davis will also help their case.
24. Are The 76ers Bad Enough To Win Less Than 10?
The Philadelphia 76ers seem to have given up on this season before it even started. They brought in Nerlens Noel in the Holiday trade, but he will miss part of the season recovering from knee surgery. Their highest-paid player will not play until January. They are currently the only team in the league that is under the salary-cap floor. It may be a good season for fans to get into hockey.
23. Who Will Be The Surprise Team?
It is always fun to see which teams look very good out of nowhere in the preseason. This season could be a plethora of teams. The Cleveland Cavaliers should be a team to watch. They are ready to make the jump.
22. Will Jason Kidd and Kevin Garnett Get Along?
It seems there is already a disconnect between head coach Jason Kidd and new forward Kevin Garnett. This is a bad sign, but something that will be fun to watch. Kidd just cannot have the same relationship that Doc Rivers had.
21. Are The Wizards Ready To Be Good?
It seems like this question is asked every season and the answer is always "no". Since the days of Gilbert Arenas, the Washington Wizards have not been relevant. Seems like they might have the chance to compete for a playoff spot, but that is all they can hope for.
20. Is Dwyane Wade Still A Superstar?
If you ask me, then the answer is no. Dwyane Wade is not a superstar on the court anymore. Can he have superstar-like performances still? Yes, but he cannot do it on a night-by-night basis. He will be a great compliment, but no longer a superstar. That also is if he can stay healthy.
19. How Bad Are The Celtics?
If they don't see Rajon Rondo on the court sooner rather than later, then really bad. They are lucky enough to play the 76ers four times in order to pad their total. At least they picked a good year to tank. It just won't work out well when your best player is Jeff Green.
18. Will The Spurs Ever Look Their Age?
The Spurs will continue to look very good as long as Tony Parker plays like a star. He has been this team's mask at the age of everyone else. They may not be as good as last year because of the losses they saw on their bench, but they will still be contenders.
17. What Will The Thunder Look Like Sans Russell Westbrook?
The Oklahoma City Thunder looked like a completely different team when Russell Westbrook went down with a knee injury in the playoffs last season. There was a complication and now he will miss 4-6 weeks of the regular season. Can Kevin Durant lift this team to respectability all by himself?f
16. Is Andrea Bargnani A Good Fit In New York?
It is yet to be seen. Andrea Bargnani could help out an offense that wasn't the issue. This New York Knicks team made interesting moves this offseason, and many could be described as risks. This one might be a great pickup, or a historically bad one. Time will tell which way it leans.
15. What Can We Expect From David Stern's Last Season?
From a strict dress code, to crazy new basketballs, to a lockout, David Stern has been in the headlines for interesting decisions in the past decade. This season will be his last. Will any other craziness occur before he hangs over the reigns to Adam Silver?
14. What Can Be Expected From The Hawks?
Does anyone ever know? Every time one thinks this team will do bad, they fight for a fifth seed in the playoffs. When they are predicted to win, the Atlanta Hawks disappoint. Anyone can make a guess on this and sound like an expert.
13. How Will Paul George And Jamal Tinsley Co-Exist?
Danny Granger and Paul George play very similar games for the Indiana Pacers. George just got a superstar contract and this is clearly his team. How will that hurt the chemistry with him and Granger? Will they ever be on the court together? Is Granger going to get shipped to another team?
12. Did The Mavericks Moves Fix Their Team?
On paper, the Dallas Mavericks look like they did a ton to help Dirk Nowitzki. They brought in Jose Calderon, Monta Ellis, Devin Harris and Samuel Dalembert, among others. The smell of their championship two seasons ago is now gone and Mark Cuban is going to want to see some progress this season.
11. Is Andrew Bynum Still A Worth While Piece In The NBA?
The seven footer has had a career in which he is dominant, but only when he is on the court. That is not often. The Cavaliers took a chance on Andrew Bynam this summer after he played zero games last year. Eventually we will see when they start to regret it.
10. What Is Rajon Rondo's Future In Boston?
It will not be answered in the preseason, but it will certainly be talked about plenty. Rondo has been the subject of trade rumors for years now, and this season may be the one where it comes to fruition. Where would he go? Does he want to be traded? This will play out interestingly during the season.
9. Is Doc Rivers The Championship Piece For The Clippers?
Rivers left the now middling Boston Celtics to join the star studded Clippers. This was no doubt a good move for both sides, as any of you would most likely be an upgrade over Vinny Del Negro. Chris Paul returns to try to end the three-peat dreams for the Heat.
8. Is Carmelo Anthony Going To Repeat Last Season?
7. Is Greg Oden Going To Make It Out Of Camp Being Able To Walk?
Who knows with Greg Oden? He hasn't played an NBA game since the 2009-10 season. The Heat took a calculated chance on him, but it just seems like the guy can't stay on the court. Maybe he can sit on the bench and make the rest of the team look younger.
6. Did Cavaliers Mess Up With The Anthony Bennett Pick?
Anthony Bennett was picked in some expert mock drafts as low as eighth. The Cavaliers made him No. 1. Will that end up being a severe mistake? They could have taken Nerlens Noel, Victor Oladipo, Otto Porter or Ben McLemore. The team will have to live with it if this ends up being a Sam Bowie/Greg Oden-type pick.
5. Will Dwight Howard Make The Rockets Contenders?
The Houston Rockets look so good on paper. How will that work out on the court? It didn't do so well for the Lakers last year, will this be different? Who is the superstar on this team, Dwight Howard or James Harden? This team will compete for a playoff spot, but not for the title in such a deep league.
4. Can The Warriors Repeat Last Season's Performance?
They added Andre Iguodala to help them defensively. They are bringing back a healthy David Lee and Andrew Bogut. This team could be even better than last season. Stephen Curry could even see top-five MVP votes after last season's performance.
3. Are The Nets The Biggest Obstacle For The Heat?
Although the moves they made caused a lot of buzz and made them better, I'm still going to go with no on that question. The coach is still unproven. The Chicago Bulls are going to be very good. The West is superior as a conference. The Heat are going to have a hard time winning it all once again.
2. Is Kobe Bryant Nuts Thinking He Can Return So Fast?
Probably. Kobe Bryant suffered possibly the worst injury an athlete can have. He tore his Achilles tendon. He is currently in Germany getting knee treatments. He is just in a bad situation for a team that won't be dominant. He should at least sit out until Christmas, if not longer.
1. What Can We Expect From Derrick Rose?
The last time we saw Derrick Rose play a game, LeBron James was still ringless. Two Heat titles later, and Rose is finally ready to play after a torn ACL. Will he be the same player? Will he be afraid to put a ton of weight on it? He holds the Bulls season in his hands. If he is the same Rose we remember, they could conceivably win it all this year.

Consumer Spending Jumped Up In September
Though Hurricane Sandy is the dominant news of the day, there are other stories, including:
"Personal income increased $48.1 billion, or 0.4 percent," in September from August, the Bureau of Economic Analysis says, while "personal consumption expenditures" — consumer spending — rose 0.8 percent.
The Associated Press writes that:
"The spending gains reflect in part rising consumer confidence. The University of Michigan reported Friday that its final consumer sentiment index for October had hit a five-year high. Falling gas prices and a slightly better job market were credited with lifting consumers' outlook.
"With eight days until the election, the economy is being kept afloat by a revitalized consumer and the early stages of a housing recovery. But the nation continues to struggle because businesses are reluctant to invest, and slower global growth has cut demand for American exports."

The room was large enough to have a table and 4 chairs which was nice for playing games instead of watching TV. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Best hotel I've stayed in in quite a while.
Everything was excellent!
Only 16 miles from Municing, MI, but 1/3 cheaper with nice sized room. There were 2 sinks, one in the bathroom and one just outside, which worked out well with 4 people in the room. Refridgerator was colder than most hotels I've been in, also a real plus.

Authors: Swann, Shanonn Pauline Pohatu Abstract: This study explores and examines the roles of caregivers within rest home facilities in New Zealand; and specifically, how they unpack and deal with managing the tensions associated with end of life (EOL) care. It adopted a qualitative perspective to enable an exploration of how the experiences of caregivers help guide their practice and understanding of their roles in relation to EOL care. A grounded theory framework was utilised in order to explore how caregivers make meaning and find value in the roles they perform within rest home facilities. This study offers insights into some of the tensions that caregivers face in a working environment where life and death occur simultaneously. It was apparent that caregivers are aware of the many social taboos they must negotiate in order to conduct their work. It was also apparent that they understood that others might perceive their work as dirty but that this did not prevent them from finding job satisfaction and create meaning in their work. Instead, they created meaning by using the conceptual tool the imagination of care. This involved utilising their imagination and past experiences to enable EOL care which represented the dying rites of individual residents but also fitted within their ethic of care. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z Tweens, sexualization and cyborg-subjectivity : New Zealand girls negotiate friendship and identity on Facebook. http://hdl.handle.net/10092/10201 Title: Tweens, sexualization and cyborg-subjectivity : New Zealand girls negotiate friendship and identity on Facebook. Authors: Martin, Erin Deann Abstract: In the context of public debates about the 'sexualization' of 'tween' (preteen) girls and their use of social network sites (SNSs), this study explores girls' online practices, experiences and reflections of their engagement with Facebook. This project is part of a growing body of research that prioritizes talk 'with' girls, rather than 'about' girls, as a way of contextualizing issues related to their girlhood. I argue that preteen girls' identities on SNSs can be reimagined as cyborg-subjectivities as girls disrupt binaries through ongoing discursive negotiations of gender and sexuality depending on moment to moment online/offline interactions. Utilizing examples from an online ethnographic observation of eighteen 12-13 year old girls in Christchurch, New Zealand, I discuss how these girls constituted online subject positions through co-constructive relationships with friends. I explore how girls utilized SNS technology to explore and engage with discourses of gender and sexuality. I discuss how girls' 'played' with both conventional and alternative femininities and sexualities in their online photographs and discuss how these images resist classification as 'sexy/innocent', 'children/teens' and online/offline. This research also reconsiders how identity is understood on SNSs and utilizes a poststructuralist theoretical framework to explore how online identities are embodied and 'citational' of shared online/offline subject positions. In addition to ethnographic observation, this research explores girls' talk and reflections about their Facebook practices through a focus group discussion and a qualitative questionnaire. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z Barriers to the Single European Market (SEM) http://hdl.handle.net/10092/10190 Title: Barriers to the Single European Market (SEM) Authors: Lim, Jong Sun Abstract: In 1992 the Single European Market (SEM), based on the Single European Act 1986 (SEA 1986), was due to take effect in the European Union (EU). The SEA 1986 provided four basic freedoms in order to accomplish the SEM without internal frontiers: the freedom of goods, capital, service and the free movement of people. Since then, the SEM has proved a remarkable development prompting some scholars to suggest that the EU is like a country in terms of economy. A great deal of debate has focused on whether the EU is (or is able to develop into) an economic or political union. If the EU currently falls short of political union, is there any chance to develop into a political union in a near future? In order to answer this question I, in light of neofunctionalism, began to consider whether the SEM was fully established in the EU, because the contents of the four basic freedoms, looked at as a whole, including the freedom of people especially, are not less than a political union. If the answer is positive, I can say that political union is a reality and that the neofunctionalist propositions are correct. If not, the proposition that economic spill-over will produce a political spill-over proves defective in areas. This thesis therefore consists of four main chapters, each having three subsections: the freedom of goods, freedom of capital, freedom of service and the free movement of people. Chapter 1 deals with the question of whether the freedom of goods is distorted by either tariff or non-tariff barriers. Chapter 2 is devoted to resolving the issue of whether the freedom of capital is fully guaranteed both in domestic and in international level. Chapter 3 discusses whether the Union is entitled to provide a Union level mechanism, to enable the freedom of services to fully take root. Finally, I ask whether people, as social beings rather than just individual members, have full freedom to move within the union without any distortion either by social benefit, ethnicity, or language. 2000-01-01T00:00:00Z Eastside story : the perceived impact of the Canterbury earthquakes on teacher performance. http://hdl.handle.net/10092/10128 Title: Eastside story : the perceived impact of the Canterbury earthquakes on teacher performance. Authors: McDonald, Alexandra Dorothy Jean Abstract: It is reported that natural disasters such as earthquakes impact significantly upon survivors' psychological wellbeing. Little is known however about the impact of disasters upon the professional performance of survivor employees such as teachers. Using a survey research design with an emphasis upon a qualitative data collection, 39 teachers from 6 schools in the eastern suburbs of Christchurch, New Zealand rated the impact of the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes upon their professional performance and 13 volunteered to participate in a follow up focus group interviews. The data collected was interpreted via three theoretical/policy frameworks: the New Zealand Teacher Council mandatory requirements for teachers, the basic psychological needs theory and the inclusive transactional model of stress. Contrary to expectations, relationships with learners, colleagues, learner's whanau (family) and the wider community were on the whole perceived to be positively impacted by the earthquakes, while participation in professional development was regarded in more negative terms. The results indicated that teachers were able to continue (despite some stress reactions) because the basic psychological needs of being a teacher were not disrupted and indeed in some cases were enhanced. A model of teacher performance following a natural disaster is presented. Recommendations and implications (including future research undertakings) arising from the study are indicated. It was noted that given the importance of the school in supporting community recovery following a disaster, support for them and consideration of the role of teachers and the preparation for this should be given some priority. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z

Press release for Dogwood Jamboree March 15th
"Dogwood Jamboree celebrating its TENTH year of Production.
The Palestine Dogwood Jamboree will celebrate its tenth year of production on March 21st. "The show has been a tremendous success and has served to provide a great venue of family entertainment" said Dan Manuel producer. We have been blessed through the previous nine years with wonderful sponsors and participation from Palestine, and actually all over Texas. Numerous tour buses come to the Jamboree for each production. The Dogwood Jamboree will present "Moments To Remember" on Saturday night March 21st at 7 P.M. "The Dogwood Jamboree was first conceived some ten years ago and from that first performance back in 2005 each show has just gotten better," stated Dan Manuel, producer of the show. The Jamboree will take place this year during the Annual Dogwood Trails festival. The show will feature "Pearl and the Polka Dots" from the Dallas area. This trio is very popular in the Dallas and surrounding area. They have just released their new Cd which is very popular. They have entertained at numerous venues in and out of the state.
The show promises to be a memorable event and one that will attract a lot of folks. The theme for the show in June is "Lone Star Country". "It is amazing how many people come from the metroplex area, Houston and other parts of the state for the Jamboree. "Many people travel to Branson, Mo. or Nashville, Tennessee for similar productions, and from the reviews we have received in numerous country music publications, the quality of the Jamboree and the performers are equal in many respects," according to Manuel. "We want to encourage those who have never attended one of the shows, to make a special effort to bring the family out and enjoy the music, artists and comedy that fills the civic center during the evening performance and vote for your favorite artist in the talent search contest." Children often appear on the show as well as adults of varying ages. "Many of the people who attend are previous attendees. They love the show and return and bring friends with them," stated Manuel. "This is sure to be one of the best performances of the Jamboree and we encourage Palestine and the surrounding area to join us along with visitors for various cities and states as we celebrate our tenth year of production. "I've always said, if you ever attend one performance, you will want to come back as you listen to the songs that classic country music fans have listened to through the years," Manuel said. The show starts at 7 P.M. and doors open at 6 P.M. At the intermission door prizes donated by local merchants and businesses will be given away. Advanced tickets for the show can be purchased at Cavender's, Dogwood Diner, Bishop's Brisket House, Hometown Pharmacy or by calling 903-729-7080 or 903-724-2556.

Who Knew? Anyone can join Mercantile Library for peace & quiet, not to mention intellectual pursuits
CINCINNATI - The Tri-State is home to many fascinating facts, offbeat oddities, and "I did not know that," moments. With that in mind, WCPO asks "Who Knew?"
- What is it? Cincinnati's hidden library: The Mercantile
- Where can I see it? 414 Walnut Street, 11th Floor
- Who knew? Chris Messick, The Mercantile Library
High atop a nondescript downtown office building, The Mercantile Library has been gathering place for Cincinnati intellectuals for more than 175 years. Chances are, many people who walk by its front door at Fourth and Walnut Street on a daily basis don't even know it's there.
Climb aboard the library's very own elevator to reach the library and crack open a book in the Reading, which is open to the pubic. The collection (which has a searchable database) is members-only.
Q&A with Chris Messick, Marketing Manager for "The Merc"
1.When and why was The Mercantile Library founded?
The Mercantile was founded in 1835 by a group of young merchants and clerks, who pooled their books and their resources for their own intellectual benefit.
2. What makes The Mercantile Library a hidden gem in Cincinnati?
Well, the hidden part is easy. We're tucked away on the 11th floor and we don't have much in the way of street presence. Luckily, the gem part is easy too. We have one of the most beautiful public spaces in the city, which members can use to work, relax, eat lunch, read, or flip through a magazine.
We're also very proud of our events calendar , which includes book discussions, poetry and Shakespeare groups, lectures on history, art and architecture, concerts, and film screenings.
- Connect: Facebook Page & Twitter @mercantilelib
Also, we've brought some great writers in to speak through the years, including Herman Melville, William Makepeace Thackeray, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Harriet Beecher Stowe, John Updike, Tom Wolfe, Annie Proulx, Salman Rusdhie, Seamus Heaney, and many, many more.
3. What can you find at The Mercantile that cannot be found at a public library?
Peace and quiet. A beautiful bust-lined reading room. An events calendar full of book discussions, concerts, film screenings, discussion groups, community events, and lectures by top-notch authors. A friendly staff that knows your name, and knows what you like to read. Also, there is less demand for titles around here, so you will often find books on our shelves that have long waiting lists at the public library.
6. What can we expect for the future of this historic landmark?
We have a 10,000-year lease on our space, and our 10,000-year lease is renewable.
"The lease was issued by the Cincinnati College, from which the University of Cincinnati College of Law descended." - CincinnatiUSA.com
Want to join The Mercantile?
- Individuals: $55 a year
- Households: $90 a year for households
- You can join in person
- Join by phone: 513-621-0717 or online
Check back next Tuesday for another edition of "Who Knew?" If you have an tip, idea or question email: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Philadelphia Cheesesteaks Page: News, Reviews, History
Even presidential candidates must pay homage. The Philadelphia cheesesteak is politics, people, theater, historic landmarks -- and one great sandwich. At Pat's or Geno's, state your cheese (Whiz, provolone, American -- no Swiss!) then "wit" (with grilled onions) or "witout." Oh, and learn to do "the lean" (mastered by Gov. Rendell) to avoid dripping on your pants or shoes.
Butter-fried steak ... with Gruyere ... on a baguette?
"The Great Cheesesteak Book" debuted in July 2009. Author Carolyn Wyman dishes out heaping portions of local color, history and helpful information, including recipes. (Cheesesteak pierogies?? Italian rolls!)
In 2008, the Ultimate Cheesesteak Challenge was WIP radio host Glen Macnow's quest find to find the best. His Top 10 were (starting with No. 1) John's Roast Pork, Steve's Prince of Steaks, Chink's Steaks,Talk of the Town, Grey Lodge Pub,Slack's Hoagie Shack, Sonny's Famous Steaks, Tony Luke's, White House Sub Shop and Dalessandro's.
... After Macnow's search, his picks were second-guessed. Georges Perrier of Le Bec-Fin and ex-Phils slugger Greg Luzinski were among the judges.
In 2002, in just four days, with a squad of high school interns, the Inquirer restaurant critic blitzed through more than 65 sandwiches at 23 steakeries. They sampled several types -- traditional, specialty, even chicken cheesesteaks.
Let's directly to the rankings. Scoring 5 out of 5 was John's Roast Pork. The 4's were Tony Luke's, Chink's Steaks, and McNally's H & J Tavern. And, yo, check it out, Geno's beat Pat's.
The national media, tourists and fans of Pat's and Geno's are big on Whiz. But not everybody in Philadelphia is.

1993 Ford Probe • 155,000 miles
I have a '93 probe 2.0 5 speed manual transmission. I always check my oil every 2 weeks and the dipstick always registered at full. When I did the oil change, I was shocked that maybe a quart and a half came out and the filter was dry! Now it is blowing white (not blue) smoke excessively bad from the tailpipe until I let it warm completely up to normal operational temp, then the smoke stops. Although the pressure gage reads in the normal range, there is no oil showing on the dipstick. I have checked the oil cap, and the radiator cap and no foam residue is there. The dipstick itself does not smell sweet or has a watery residue on it. My radiator is still at full, green and not milky, the reserve is low though. If, of course, I lower my oil to around 2 quarts it does not smoke and the car runs fine. The smell of the smoke is of fresh oil, but also has a smell of it running rich with gas. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I do love driving this car, but am highly embarrassed to start it up!

Did you warm up the engine first or did you drain it cold, if cold, the filter may have drained back, even hot engines the filter can drain back some with the oil is draining, white smoke is moisture in the exhaust, double check for any signs of coolant loss, top the reserve up and ensure that it is on the full mark either cold or hot mark, even place a pen mark on the bottle and re check in a week at the same tem as checked, let me know if it alters at all.
Apr 22, 2012.
Apr 22, 2012.
Thank you so much for replying back to my problem! I did top off the reserve and made a mark like you suggested. I checked it today and the reserve is empty but the radiator is still full. I checked all the tubing going to and from the reserve and all looks fine with them at least. I'm assuming I may have a gasket that is shot? I do understand that with these many miles on the engine, and the previous owner did not maintain it like it should have been, that my valve seals may be shot also. That will be a project in the next few months. I am just trying to figure out why it will only smoke this bad on a fresh oil change? I have changed the oil both with the engine warm, and when it has cooled. The results remain smoke unless I only put 2.5 quarts in it instead of the required 3.7 with filter. Could the system be plugged with oil remaining inside? Or my pump not working correctly? It does not make the noise associated with the pump being shot though.
May 2, 2012.
May 2, 2012.
No, it is not a bad head gasket. If that is teh case, the reserve tank would overfill whereas the radiator side would be low on coolant. You have a minor leak somewhere and the best way to go about is to have a pressure test performed to locate the source of the leak. It couls be hose joints, water pump, radiator cap, heater core.
As to the smoke, if it is burning up oil, most probably the valve seals are bad and the return passages for the oil could be slightly restricted and not allowing opil to return quickly. These would accumulate around the valve seals resulting in additional oil getting to the velve seals.

From the Editor
Welcome to Linux Journal's kernel issue. Though it's true what Ted Ts'o says in this month's interview about the more exciting work in the Linux community happening in user space than in the kernel, there are still enough intriguing developments in the kernel to merit devoting an issue to it.
In fact, some of the most exciting recent kernel developments are covered in this month's pages. Last month we ran Rick Lehrbaum's interview with the preemptible kernel patch maintainer, Robert Love. This month Robert wrote a feature article explaining just how the patch lowers latency and how this translates to performance benefits, not only for those needing real-time efficiency, but also for regular users.
Greg Kroah-Hartman, the Linux USB and PCI Hot Plug kernel maintainer, reveals how the Linux kernel, as of 2.4.15, handles the kernel-level difficulties associated with hot-pluggable devices by way of the PCI Hot Plug driver core.
While iptables are no longer the latest in kernel development, the Netfilter code is constantly evolving, and many are still struggling with iptables building. Last year for our kernel issue David A. Bandel wrote an introductory-level article on Netfilter. He received a deluge of e-mail requesting further guidance. So to satisfy our readership, David delves into more advanced iptables building. Look for a further sequel to David's article in next month's Kernel Korner.
Continuing in a security vein, Michael Bacarella explains how POSIX capabilities in the Linux kernel can provide a useful middle-ground permission level that grants more liberal permissions than a standard user, but not the potentially harmful level of root.
In our last feature article, David Frascone brings us to the border of user land and the kernel by explaining the benefits of kernel module debugging with User-Mode Linux. UML provides something of a virtual machine for safer debugging.
Speaking of user land, one of the more intriguing developments there, at least for our production staff at Linux Journal, may be the Scribus Project (web2.altmuehlnet.de/fschmid/index.html). Here at Linux Journal we try to practice what we preach, and everyone from the accountant to the receptionist, to the marketing and editorial departments do their work on Linux workstations. The only thing we don't do on Linux is magazine layout. Hopefully the Scribus Project will allow us to change that.
Scribus is a GPLed layout program for Linux. It's still in its early stages of development with a team of three—two of whom do the documentation, leaving all the programming to Franz Schmid. Franz is currently working on adding new object types like curves, polygons, etc. The team's goal is to match the quality of programs such as Adobe PageMaker and QuarkXPress.
I'm sure Franz wouldn't object if someone wanted to lend a hand. He can be reached at email@example.com.

While most were soaking themselves in dry beer at one of the umpteen Comic-Con parties last night, Dwayne Johnson was tapping away on a computer – answering fan questions on Reddit.
Though the majority of the talk was teed to his new film "Hercules" – the reason he was on Reddit, essentially – Johnson did touch on some interesting things, like how Paul Walker's passing affected him.
On Paul Walker…
Finishing Fast and Furious without Paul was very bittersweet. His death was heartbreaking and in a way, informed us that we should be even more grateful for every waking minute and hug our loved ones and friends just that much tighter and stronger. I truly feel audiences will be very happy and emotionally moved by Fast 7. Im proud of the movie we made – proud of my fellow actors, director, studio partners and hard working blue collar film crew. The truth is, like all movies – Fast and Furious will come and go and hopefully, leave an incredible movie legacy behind. To me, the #1 most important thing I care about is making sure his daughter has stability in her life and good solid men around her to help raise her in the wake of Paul's passing.
On being in an "Expendables" movie…
If you're asking if I would consider being in the EXPENDABLES franchise – then the answer is yes. BUT.. I don't want to be on their team and be buddies with them. F*ck that noise. I want to hunt every single one of them down and tell them to "send your soul to heaven cause your ass is mine." Rousey lives cause she'd be my characters training partner and Crews lives as well cause my character would need someone to compete at pec popping with.
On doing a movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger
Schwarzenegger himself crashed the Reddit and answered the question!
"I just came here to congratulate Dwayne, but you just gave me a great idea for a movie. I would love to do a movie with Dwayne – the Oak and the Rock – it couldn't be more perfect. Anyway, congratulations Dwayne. The movie looks fantastic and I can tell you know what's best in life. Let's get together soon and share sword stories."
Dwayne's response? "Awesome, look forward to swappin' sword stories."

Hi Angelie, TZ is right this forum is more geared toward the professional designers working in the field or in school, or like yourself just do it for fun. We all have to start somewhere and their is alot to learn on this forum so stick around if you are seriously interested in getting into design, the information provided on this site is a neverending supply of knowledge by people working in the actual field.
So welcome to the GDF, although when you said "Banners" I was thinking more along the lines of something like this 33 inches by 88 inches...
heheOur great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is privately controlled. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world. No government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of small groups of men. - Woodrow Wilson
Although what the others have said is true, creating stuff like that is good lessons for getting your hands wet with learning things like Photoshop. My very first Photoshop projects involved making comics back when I was a teenager.
My only critique on the banner is that font, it's very hard to read.
I guess the only other thing to say (if you haven't done it already) is to watch the file size and dimensions. One personal annoyance of mine with webforums is that too many people are adding way hunking huge banners and images for signatures. If I was running a webforum personally, I would disable the ability to add images for signatures. (Avatars are a different story).
As far as anime banners go, it is pretty good. Looks like most others though. And I agree, that font is no good.
Imagery on a banner is usually meant to emphasis the text not overwhelm it or make it hard to read.
Generally, the text is the most important information on the banner.
Therefor (if the text is important in this case) you should find a new text. I do not feel its your imagery making it hard to read but, the type face it self is the main purpose. Find a text which better stands out and is easier to read then what you have. Cause i can barly make out what it says... if the text is important.
If it is just there for decoration then leave it... it does work well with the design- the type face.
Oh yeah.. btw the way get it out of the center... you can put the text near the center and bit ascew but, get it out of the exact center. generally, objects placed in the center make the imagry around weighted down... in terms of balance and eye movement on a whole.
So the text must be important... since it is in the center?...
There is something really weird about this anima or funnish banner that i do not usually see in others in a like purpose. Yours actually displays some what a sense of design... which is a good thing,lol.- color, contrast, placement (aside from the center thing), etc).
good job and welcomeLast edited by tZ; 05-21-2005, 04:07 AM.
Ah, this brings me back to my early Photoshop days. In those days, the Twirl filter was the most keenest, awesome-ist, sweetest thing there was -- right next to the Lens Flare. Oh, yeah, I learned that filter inside and out. I was badass.
But then I discovered everyone else knew how to do that. In my embarrassment, it was then that I decided to be a recluse and become a serial killer of shitzu puppies. 7 and counting.Creativity is taking what is and bringing in what isn't.
