RJ Stevens left behind his modest Southern upbringing and family name to transform into a self-help guru dispensing his "Team of Me" philosophy to millions of adoring fans. With a reality-TV-star fiancée and money to burn, there's no piece of the Hollywood dream RJ hasn't achieved. After his parents request that he come home for their 50th wedding anniversary, the TV host packs up his 10-year-old son and diva bride-to-be and heads back to Georgia. It's a chance to prove to his family that he's no longer the awkward kid they relentlessly picked on. At least, that's the plan. But, when his crazy, lovable family calls him on his big-city attitude and challenges him at every turn, RJ is forced to take a hard look at the man he's become. He may be a superstar in L.A., but he's just one of the guys in Dry Springs.

Ol' Blue
I have a subscription to Chevy High Performance, and was just looking through the latest issue, and wanted to drop a line and say that the blue '71 Stingray (Phil and Debbie Huffman) in the September issue is a beautiful car. It is my father-in-law's car and pictures of that car do not do it justice. Sorry if I sound a little partial but it is a beautiful car. He is very meticulous about keeping his car clean but drives it everywhere. It is far from being a trailer queen but from looking at it you could never tell.
Thanks for taking the time to listen to my praise about his car, and if possible I would like a little corner in the magazine for mine someday also. It is a '79 Electric Green Z28. I made it into the NastyZ28 calendar this year as February's car and would love to see it in your magazine. I am on vacation right now but when I return home I will download the images and send them your way. Thanks again and your magazines are great (I have a subscription to Chevy High and Camaro Performers). We are both devoted Chevrolet guys and your magazines keep us well informed of all the important Bow Tie issues.

Partial or not, the '71 Stingray is very nice indeed. Regarding your '79 Z28, send us the pictures with details and we'll be more than happy to showcase your ride.
High Speed Events
Concerning Bob D'Amore's letter in the Sep '10 issue about wanting to see more race cars in the mag. There is another venue where there are very few rules limiting cars. Open Road Racing is run on public highways closed for the day. Race distances run about 100 miles. The idea is to average a given speed. Classes run from 85-90 mph up to 175-180 mph. Some events also have an Unlimited class where the fastest time wins. Cars are started at intervals and run against the clock. The only limits on the cars are all safety oriented. The faster you want to go the more safety equipment and driver experience is required.
In the slower classes, you can run your grocery getter, only needing non-synthetic long sleeves/trousers, gloves, and a helmet. The car only needs to be in reasonable condition and have stock belts, tires in good condition, and a fire extinguisher.
The fastest classes require a full cage, racing seat, fuel cell, fire suppression system, and tires up to the task. The driver (navigator, if there is one) needs a fire suit, shoes, gloves, head & neck restraint, helmet, and arm restraints. Otherwise almost anything goes for the car. No engine limits, no aero body mod limits, no transmission limits, etc.
Everything from econo cars up through Vettes/Vipers/Porsches up to retired NASCAR machines usually show up. Events are usually three days long and there is plenty of time to bench race at these events.
Check out the various events at these websites for more detailed info on locations, requirements, and schedules: openroadracing.com, sorcrace.com, silverstateclassic.com, bborr.com

I'm just curious why I don't see a lot of '79-87 El Caminos in most of the Chevy magazines in print today. I myself have three '80's era Chevys starting with my first project, an '81 El Camino that came with the factory 267 V-8 automatic. I'm currently in the process of building a 454ci for it. Almost all my parts are from Edelbrock, including the heads, manifold, and the cam. I'm having trouble deciding on whether to use the Turbo 350 I have out of an old '79 truck for my setup or to find a Turbo 400 and rebuild it to my needs. I'm also planning on a full Hotchkis suspension setup and a posi-trac rear.

Button-Front Flannel Dress 12 12
Comfortable dress I have this dress in two colors, blue & black and black watch plaid. I enjoy the soft drape and roomy fit which allows a turtleneck to be worn under it if the weather requires. I read in advance of the purchase concerns about the thin flannel so was prepared for that. It makes it more versatile for my climate than a heaver flannel. January 16, 2013
Very Comfortable This dress is wonderful, it is very comfortable and will keep the chill out on a cold day, the size is an excellent fit. and the color is beautiful I love the Scottish navy plaid. March 11, 2014
Just OK This is a light flannel, which makes it OK for moderate weather, but not real cold weather. I bought the green plaid. It doesn't look like real Black Watch but it's a nice shade of green. It's a little snug across the bust for me, but loose everywhere else. I'm short so it needs shortening. All and all, an OK dress but nothing special. March 5, 2014
Sleeves too tight For a size 2X, I'd think the sleeves would be a bit looser. Other than that, I like the dress, and the fact that it has pockets. January 2, 2014
true black watch I recently ordered 2 flannel dresses and the black velour jumper! all fit perfectly! I told the person who I was ordering from the history of the black watch tartan. they were most feared by the Scottish highlanders...sort of maybe like a Hitler SS ! also note that the kilt you have is not true black watch. has a red line through it! call it modified,gentrified or americanized black watch !!!! November 11, 2013
Perfect Winter Dress-For travel doubles as nightgown. Love it. Runs large. Washed immediately and shrunk to just what I wanted. I don't know how gift wrap charge of $5 appeared as I'm pretty literate and wouldn't have chosen that. Will call for credit when I have time. October 14, 2013
Poor quality for the price I love the look of this, and ordered one in each color. Cute, warm, and was the backbone of my wardrobe last winter. BUT! The fabric is thin and pilly, the facings were not stitched down, but wrinkled up into wadded strips each wash, and it shrank quite a bit over the winter. I took a few evenings, a needle and thread, and stitched down the facings (which the manufacturer should have done). If I had not done this, it would have required irong each wash. (Who irons flannel?) I also stitched the placket closed, as the widely spaced buttons made for gaps (kind of like a robe or gown). AFTER THAT, it was a functional and cosy dress, but for that price, I shouldn't have HAD to do that, you know? And now . . . they're too worn to wear another year. I need something just like these, but better quality. These come in plus sizes, as I need, and there's not much on the market like this, which is a pity. I just wish they were better quality. September 28, 2013
nice cozy flannel dress I wear it as a bathrobe and it is pretty wonderful here in the tropics where a light flannel robe is good in the wintertime. March 8, 2013

Burn to CD and boot from it. Run the memory diagnostic and let us know if you get any RAM errors.
So we can rule out corruption problems. Id RAM is faulty, anything you download is going to end up corrupted.
Next logical step is to perform full surface scan of your primary hard disk and check for bad sectors.
i Will try that tool out,

Shutdown Report: How to Play Chicken and Lose
Republicans are likely to incur serious political damage in their effort to hold hostage continued funding of the government in exchange for deep spending cuts. This routine has become an annual ritual, and in the past President Barack Obama has been the first one to cave. The 2011 Budget Control Act, which includes the automatic sequester, is one bitter fruit of the president's past failure to hang tough in the face of Republican extremist demands.
But this time is different.
The Tea Party Republicans, who dominate the GOP House Caucus, are demanding that President Obama de-fund the Affordable Care Act in exchange for their willingness to fund ordinary government spending in the new fiscal year, which begins October 1. But they picked the wrong demand. In the past, Obama was willing to make deep cuts in federal spending in order to get a budget deal with Republicans. The Affordable Care Act, however, is a nonnegotiable for the president. It's his personal crown jewel, the centerpiece of his legacy. For Tea Party Republicans, however, Obamacare is evil itself, and opposition to it is a loyalty test.
Moreover, the president has told Democrats in both the House and Senate caucuses that he has no intention of negotiating over the debt ceiling. If the Republicans want to play cute with America's full faith and credit, they will bear the political responsibility for the consequences.
Happily, the test over the shutdown comes first. We don't need a vote to extend the debt ceiling until mid-October. If the Republicans gamble and lose big on the shutdown, they may well back off the debt-ceiling threat.
Another nice break for Democrats: In the past, voters' eyes have glazed over when it came to budget details, and much of the mainstream press has played budget standoffs as "partisan bickering," as if it were the equal responsibility of both parties. Equal blame is a mantra promoted by such Wall Street groups as "Fix the Debt."
This time, however, the press is reporting on the sheer extremism of the GOP. Polls suggest that in the case of a government shutdown, or worse, a debt default, Republicans would reap most of the blame. A CNN poll released last week found that 51 percent of people would blame Republicans for a shutdown, while 33 percent would blame President Obama. Twelve percent would blame both parties.
Ordinarily, Obama might offer other cuts in order to prevent a shutdown, but other cuts won't do it this time; the Tea Party wants the scalp of ObamaCare. So a president who is ordinarily reluctant to hang tough may well let the Republicans shut down the government—and let them bear the responsibility. It worked for Bill Clinton in 1996 when Gingrich shut down the government and his Republicans took the fall.
Another nice break for the Democrats is that the Republicans are split several ways. The relative realists, including many GOP senators and the House Republican leadership, grasp just how much damage a shutdown or a debt default would do to their party. It would display to voters once and for all the sheer nuttiness of the Tea Party faction that now controls the House. Going into an election year, this sort of debacle could help the Democrats take back majority control in 2014.
But House Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor, nobody's idea of political moderates, have failed utterly in their efforts to persuade the Tea Party Republicans of their folly—setting the stage for a donnybrook.
The GOP is also split between the congressional Tea Party and several conservative Republican governors who actually like Obamacare. Astoundingly, despite the right-wing animus toward anything connected to the Affordable Care Act, conservative governors in key states have accepted the provision in Obamacare to expand Medicaid mostly at the federal government's expense.
These GOP turncoats include Rick Scott in Florida, Jan Brewer in Arizona, Ohio's John Kasich, and Michigan's Rick Snyder. Why the reversal? These are swing states, and the Medicaid expansion would reach well into the working middle class—people who are losing their health coverage. Medicaid is popular. Expanding Medicaid is not just sensible policy; it's good politics.
So the Tea Party is on a collision course with both the congressional leadership and with Republican governors in several key states.
All of this opens up new possibilities for 2014. There are only about 25 contestable House seats thanks to gerrymandering. But if Democrats can pick up most of these, they can take back the House. It would take something big for that to happen, but shutting down the government and playing chicken with a debt default—that's big.
It is said that most Tea Party Republicans don't mind suicidal legislative politics because their own seats are safe. On the other hand, they don't want to wake up in January 2015 as part of the House minority.
There's only one glitch in this happy scenario. If Republicans do force a government shutdown, at some point they will have to back down and allow the government to reopen. And at that point, there would be pressure on President Obama to give them some cover by offering other cuts. Not Obamacare, of course—just minor stuff like Social Security, Medicare, education, food stamps, Head Start, and the rest.
But that's a depressing column for another day, and maybe Obama will even enjoy the benefits of toughness and resist further cuts. For today, let's enjoy the box the Republicans have put themselves in.

You silly bunny, President Obama just got re-elected running on a platform of Obamneycare.
The Republican candidate -- do you remember his name? Me neither -- ran against it. He lost.
Even with President Obama staking him the advantage of 100% of the small but significant racist vote, Romney -- that's his name! I knew it would come to me -- lost. Very very badly. So badly none of his advisors could believe it at the time, and some of them still don't seem to have recovered consciousness.
The American people have spoken.
The polls are pretty clear, too. Maybe a third of the people, many of them believing T-Party lies but some of them simply voting the self-interest of the very-well-off, oppose it. About a third support it.
The final third support it reluctantly, but really want a Canadian-style Single Payer program.
A Single Payer program is what you're going to end up with because the well-informed left want it, and anybody with Mitt Romney's ability to do high school math with a blunt pencil and any old envelope can figger out that that is how to balance the Federal budget. Obamneycare was designed by the conservative Heritage Foundation, so naturally it's a welfare program for insurance companies with a few health benefits stuck on the side. It won't last. Single Payer is on the horizon.
Health benefits and costs aside, Single Payer is also the only chance America has of ever again being looked upon as a "leader of the free world," its traditional international role. At the moment most of the world looks on America as a pitiful helpless giant being bullied by one of its children throwing a tantrum. A damn shame.

We'll see. Clinton "won" a budget by surrendering poverty relief, causing significant suffering that, in whole, measured the level of American apathy. This money was simply redistributed upward. (He began likewise "reforming" Social Security as well, targeting disabled workers., but ran out of time.) The agenda all along has been that of dismantling Social Security, to redistribute those public dollars upward as well. We have to sacrifice Americans. It is the only possible way to maintain our extreme militarism while protecting the rich from the grievous burden of taxation.

When I read this article the discussion lost me in the first sentence.
"Republicans are likely to incur serious political damage in their effort to hold hostage continued funding of the government in exchange for deep spending cuts."
The basic premise is that there is a game going on where we can buy tickets, cheer and boor the umpire and the other team...It isn't, although the GOP/TP is acting like it is.
When you can strangle legitimate and honest discussion, shut down the government and not pay the bill...then claim all this is done in the name of Patriotism......A large number of people have forgotten this is not a game...
It is establishing a standard of behavior unknown in this country where the opposition is also an American citizen who has a different opinion.
This sentence says we are playing at a game. Where is the ethical, probably moral obligation to look beyond your own self interest? The Constitution allows for the rights of the minority to be respected it doesn't allow for about 20% of the country to do their imitation of a 2 yr old being pushed in a cart through the grocery, yelling, crying and throwing things while others have to look on. To take it further they are angry the entire country won't stop and give them what they want from their tantrum.
It is probably appropriate that the ultra-conservative churches are followers of this line of thinking. It has reminded me of the 12th century Catholic church where they can claim a Crusade is required. The kings saw it as an opportunity to gain wealth and power, the Church to extend it's authority the uneducated trusting 99% who listened and followed were sacrifices, fodder for the battles with the Saracens. Their trust was complete and they gained nothing.

Press reviews
"OK, if we are talking wines for World Cup watching I think we need one for the neutrals - and this has enough contemplative complexity to keep you interested if things get tedious on the pitch. A blend of Shiraz, Kalecik Karası and Cabernet Sauvignon it has a lovely nose, a touch of lifted kirsch and burning incense joining a solid red berry base. The palate is really juicy and solidly fruity, with a summer pudding layer of buoyant fruit, but a firm raft of tannin beneath."
The Wine Gang , 1st June 2014
"Turkey is emerging as a promising wine country, and this blend of the variety kalecik karasi, with shiraz and cabernet sauvignon, is really rather nice. It shows bright, ripe berry fruits with some spiciness."
Jamie Goode, Sunday Express , 1st June 2014

Kate and Charlie like to have a good time. Their marriage thrives on a shared fondness for music, laughter . . . and getting smashed. When Kate's partying spirals into hard-core asocial behavior, compromising her job as an elementary schoolteacher, something's got to give. But change isn't exactly a cakewalk. Sobriety means she will have to confront the lies she's been spinning at work, her troubling relationship with her mother, and the nature of her bond with Charlie.

Despite the fact he is a middle-aged man, Gianni lives in an old house in the center of Rome with his mother, a woman of faded nobility who tyrannizes him and leaves him only enough free time to go to the tavern. On the eve of the Feast of the Assumption holiday, the apartment block manager--aware of Gianni's enforced "captivity"--suggests he look after his own mother for a couple of days, in return for the waiver of all the unpaid utility bills. When he turns up at his house also accompanied by his old aunt, Gianni feels rather ill. He therefore pays a visit to his doctor friend for a check-up, but even the latter leaves his old mother in Gianni's care for the Feast of the Assumption.

This is one of the oddest encounters I have ever had online. One "Turretinfan" (usually affectionately known as "TAO": short for The Anonymous One, because this guy has never yet revealed his true name) knows full well of my policy of no longer attempting to debate anti-Catholics. But I have had some (as usual) silly, tangential chit chat with anti-Catholics on an anti-Catholic blog lately, including with TAO, and he is absolutely determined to hound me over and over with the question of whether a Christian is one who is "saved" or not. He won't give it up, even though I have repeatedly stated that I feel he is trying to bait me into a debate, which I refuse to do, based on my policy, arrived at after many years of frustrated attempts at rational discussion with our esteemed anti-Catholic apologists and polemicists.
I think it is rather obvious by now that either he was trying to get me to enter a debate out of exasperation, so he and his cronies can then have a field day mocking me because I broke my resolution to not do so (with anti-Catholics like himself), or to show that I am (proven by my refusal to answer) somehow scared to death to answer, for fear that my entire apologetic for Catholicism will come tumbling down, due to one Profound Question. It would be all over in one brilliant stroke. Either way, he "wins." That is my theory as to why he is doing this (knowing my policy). Whether I answer or don't answer, he has an opportunity to mock and ridicule (which is pretty much all these guys do anymore with us despised "papists / "Romanists").
Anyway, you can decide yourself if his methodology is asinine and childish (as I think) by reading this Abbot and Costello, "Who's on Third"-like silliness. Here is the entire thing, from the anti-Catholic blog, Hays' Triablogue site (noted by an asterisk: *), and my own (two asterisks: **). TAO's words will be in blue. After reading this, I think it is highly likely that any reasonably sane, conscious person (not themselves afflicted by the malady of anti-Catholicism) would never again question the prudence or reasonableness of my decision to cease engaging eccentric characters like this in true debate / dialogue on theology. Ask yourself how you would do in response to such relentless, mindless, utterly boorish goading and mocking.
* * * * *
You call us "Christians" but do you use that term as synonymous with "saved"? Or do you mean something less by that? (7-9-09) [1]
Protestant baptism is valid, sacramental, and regenerative. (7-9-09)
Which is a "no" to my question about "Christian" meaning "saved," right? I'm not sure why you're being so cagey. Do you equate "Christian" and "saved" or not? (7-9-09) [2]
. . . evasion . . . (7-10-09*)
I don't debate anti-Catholics anymore, per my above explanation. You had your chance to engage in a live chat debate with me about the definition of Christian and you declined, carping on and on, as you do, about your contention that I am not a bona fide orthodox Catholic in the first place. I won't be baited into it here. (7-9-09)
It's amazing you cannot answer a simple and straight question about what the word "Christian" means when you were hounding Reformed folks to debate you on that topic. I bet the folks who declined simply see this as further evidence of the wisdom of their decision. Meanwhile, I still have held open the option (despite your outright lies to the contrary) of debating you if you will take the Roman Catholic position in the debate. (7-9-09) [3]
. . . excuse . . . (7-10-09*)
Right TAO. Nice melodramatic flourish there. The pseudo-"negotiations" were beaten to death with many thousands of words -- summarized in a lengthy footnote in my recent paper. . . . I'm through debating all anti-Catholics, in terms of working through issues back and forth. You know that full well. You saw me reiterate it in this thread. Yet you tried to bait me into a discussion on the very same topic. Surely you are not so ignorant as to not know the huge vistas of debate that open up when throwing out even one gigantic term like "saved." Surely you are not so naive as to not know that there can be no short answer to that. A short answer would lead to more of your prodding, and then there we are: right back into a debate situation that I have already stated is out of the question, after 12 or so years of trying to have cordial, reasonable discussions with anti-Catholics like yourself. . . . (7-9-09)
Amazing that you can type so many words to criticize a flourish (your description) and can't answer a simple question. That ought to trouble you, even if you want to call any criticism of yourself an "insult." (7-9-09) [4]
Again I prodded Dave to try to get a straight answer out of him (Got no answer.) (7-10-09*) [5]
But again - does "Christian" mean "saved"? Dave won't say (choosing instead to focus on flourishes). (7-9-09) [6]
Psychological (baiting) tactics don't work with me, TAO. I don't play those games. Theology is a serious matter and we should all respect it as such. (7-9-09)
. . . rebuff . . . (7-10-09*)
Apparently, you don't take theology seriously enough to be able to answer a simple question. If "baiting" (your term) doesn't help you to stop evading - would anything help you? Are you just hopelessly unable to answer simple questions? You heart should be doing my job for you, telling you that while you post floods of self-justifying comments for your insults, you cannot actually answer a simple question. (7-10-09) [7][8][9]
Still, I did not give up trying to get my question answered but tried once again (got no answer) (7-10-09*) [10]
I posed the question a third time in the form of incredulity over his twice failure to answer the question. I got the excuse . . . (7-10-09*) [11]
[responding to an ecumenical Calvinist regarding similar issues; later I referred TAO back to this, to no avail] This gets to the question of subjective vs. objective criteria of what Christian is. Because the Protestant believes that salvation is already attained, most will want to surmise whether this momentous event has happened in the life of a person. Then the Calvinist / Arminian thing comes into it, too. I understand this. I,. too, had a radical life-changing experience in 1977, and again in 1980, when I was, I firmly believe, further filled with the Holy Spirit. Catholics believe that Baptism regenerates: a real change takes place: one is incorporated into the Body of Christ. So these are all big discussions. I think in the end we can only sensibly discuss the issue across the board on a more objective, theological basis: on the creedal level. I usually use the Nicene Creed as a criteria for the definition of a Christian.On this basis, Catholics clearly would be Christians. You said this yourself, so you clearly mean it. But if we speculate on the present spiritual state of individuals, we have no certainty, and it goes round and round. John Calvin said we cannot be certain who is of the elect; even ourselves. Luther struggled with that, too. And both believed in assurance of salvation in some sense, over against an Arminian / Catholic / Orthodox understanding. When a Calvinist clearly forsakes the reformed faith, and is deeply into sin and outward rebellion against God, Calvinist theology requires that he or she is now defined as having never been a Christian or saved or justified or regenerated at all. But it then follows that those who thought he or she was in the past were wrong, and did not have certainty at all. So we just don't know with absolute certainty. We can only go, therefore, by what a person claims to believe, in judging whether they are Christians.
The [anti-Catholic] categories forbid Catholics from being Christians. A consistent, obedient, orthodox Catholic cannot possibly be a Christian. To be a good Catholic is to be no Christian. To be a Christian is to be a bad (heterodox) Catholic. Most anti-Catholics, following Calvin and Luther, will leave a tiny loophole for the Catholic individual to have a chance to still be saved. But this is virtually despite the Catholic Church. If one is a Catholic and understands Church teaching and adheres to it, they are out of the fold, by this mentality. Some (like an Baptist preacher friend of mine I once worked for briefly, or one of my best friends, will contend that a former evangelical Protestant like myself was clearly saved, and so therefore (from eternal security) could not have fallen away, even having become Catholic. (7-10-09)
So many words from Dave on his favorite misleading label of "anti-Catholic" and still no answer about whether being Christian means being saved. One wonders if Dave himself notices this oddity. (7-10-09) [12]
I notice that you are quite odd (and oddly, inexplicably uncomprehending). (7-10-09)
Don't let any oddities I possess distract you from answering a simple question, please. Try to focus on the issues. I think that, if you try hard, you can probably bite the bullet and answer the question. (7-10-09) [13][14]
Tried once more (I got a personal remark, but no answer). (7-10-09*) [15]
[to someone else] As you see, I have continually declined T-Fan's baiting, precisely because he is trying to woo me into a theological discussion / debate, which I refuse to do with an anti-Catholic anymore. You can't have it both ways: mock me for supposedly engaging in what I'm not engaging in, as proven by T-Fans infantile mocking and attempts to goad me. Not that logic is the high point of anti-Catholic gifts and talents, but still . . . (7-10-09)
Now, let's try one that's not taken out of context: "I have no problem talking to anybody, or being friendly, or answering questions, etc. " But over at Mr. Swan's blog, Mr. Armstrong couldn't answer the simple question about whether he uses "Christian" as synonymous with "saved." (7-10-09*) [16]
I pushed once more for an answer to the question (Dave simply references two of his previous non-answers - the excuse in response to try #3 and to the first of a series of lengthy comments in defense of the misleading label "anti-catholic"). I really think that any reasonable person would say that his claim: "I have no problem talking to anybody, or being friendly, or answering questions, etc. " simply isn't true. How many chances do I Have to give this guy to be able say that such a claim is a lie? (7-10-09*) [17]
Falsely claiming that I "refused to debate" is something you did to suit your polemical purposes and justify your running away from Reformed apologists. You practically admitted as much later on when explaining your motives for the challenge. So, please - run away all you like, refuse to answer simple questions as much as you like, but face the fact of what you are doing, at least for your own benefit, if not for that of the folks who read your blog. And that simple question, just for the record, is whether you consider "Christian" and "saved" to be synonymous. That's the question that I asked, and for which I got belittled and insulted by you. (7-11-09**) [18][19][20]
Besides, if I was so interested in "running away" from Reformeds, why would I be engaged for hundreds of hours presently in answering the entirety of Calvin's Book IV of his Institutes line-by-line? Surely you have better things to do than to utterly make a fool of yourself, no? (7-11-09**)
Whatever you say. If anyone holding Calvin's positions decides that your Calvin posts are worth responding to they will be labeled "anti-Catholic" and ignored per your non-vow commitment to running away from Reformed apologetics. (7-11-09**)
If someone responds who is not an anti-Catholic (like, e.g., Pilgrimsarbour), I'll be more than happy to interact, just as I was with him. I'd rather "run away" from foolish and vain conversations than from logic and charity, any day. (7-11-09**)
[quoting me] "I'd rather "run away" from foolish and vain conversations than from logic and charity, any day." "My own definition of anti-Catholic has no connection whatsoever to behavior." (7-11-09**)
I don't believe you can possibly be this dense and logically challenged., Surely you must be joking when you make so many elementary logical lapses . . . (7-12-09**)
. . . he made the following vow: "I'll be ignoring you and other anti-Catholics (barring exceptional circumstances; particularly if it involves defending someone else from anti-Catholic smear campaigns)." Of course, as I predicted, he couldn't do that. In fact, I've already documented over 50 examples of his not ignoring "anti-Catholics" (documentation) since that vow was made. I could add many more. As you can see the list hasn't been updated for a few months. But now the vow has morphed. It's not really ignoring us (which would be impossible for poor Dave) but instead just running away from theological arguments, explanations, and (most of all) the dreaded task of answering simple questions. In a very worldly sense, this is wise of Dave: his positions are so weak that they cannot stand up to reasoned discussion (or even simple questions) with the most staunch opponents of his religion. One way to minimize having the weakness of his positions demonstrated for all is to run away from theological discussions with those that oppose his religion. But - then again - isn't Dave supposedly an apologist? Isn't an apologist for religion, position, or viewpoint "x" supposed to be prepared to defend that from anti-x's? We defend Calvinism against anti-Calvinists, and the Reformed faith more generally against her most outspoken detractors. Not Dave. Go figure. (7-12-09*) [21][22]
Must you continue to be illogical in virtually every point you try to make concerning me? (7-15-09)
Still hiding from that simple question about whether you view "Christian" and "saved" as synonymous? (7-15-09) [23]
Have already explained about ten times now as to why I refuse to answer your question, TAO (once in great detail and another time actually hitting closely on the topic in reply to a non-anti-Catholic Calvinist).
But I haven't given up hope yet that you will man up and answer it. [24]
You killed the effort when I challenged you (along with six others) to a debate on definition of Christianity / Christian by your ridiculous qualifications of my having to become a Protestant in order to be a real Catholic in order to debate you.
You know very well that I didn't ask you to become a Protestant.
I won't be baited into it now.
I wonder whether, in your imagination, answering a simple question is either (1) becoming a Protestant or (2) engaging in the chatroom debate you previously hounded us for?
I gave up on you guys having any sort of sustained, cordial, rational discussion.
Ah, there we go ... yet above you tried to claim you were still steering for said rational discussion. So confusing this back and forth.
Your antics now amply confirm it.
Yes, had you been willing to debate, I would have insisted that you answer questions, like the question that you've been evading about 10 times now. [25]
You can't take no for an answer.
You can't answer a simple question. [26]
You insist on either debating me, or else using your antics as fodder for further mocking (as you've already done at Triablogue).
Actually, I've just been trying to get you to answer a simple question. It's interesting that you cannot do that with debate (in your mind) or mockery (again, in your mind). [27]
More confirmation of the wisdom of my decision to ignore you, debate-wise.
But not mocking-wise, eh? Although you are trying to steer things toward rational discussion, or are you?
You could have "cross-examined" me for hours if you had simply said "yes" way back when.
One imagines that you would have been able to keep evading the questions for hours, since you've managed to do so for days here. [28]
You could have had a grand old time and shown me to be an absolute fool, if I am anywhere near as dumb and stupid and clueless as our gracious host, White, and others of your pals have claimed for years.
It's interesting how your mind works. If I debate someone it is not for that purpose. It is to advance the cause of the truth.
If you're so intent on debating me, simply take one of my papers and reply to it, just like I do with Old Man Calvin (Book IV of the Institutes).
I'm not the least bit intent on debating you. There are, in fact, some articles of yours that I had queued for response at some point, but they have not been a high priority. In any event, I wouldn't consider responding to your articles, as I have done in the past, to be a "debate."
I won't reply. You're safe.
If I were worried about people replying, I'd write only on my moleskine.
And I trust all logically-trained, fair-minded readers to immediately see right through your arguments, so that is no concern to me at all. Fire away.
It's interesting how you judge arguments before they are presented. In some circles, that's referred to as prejudice.
If our host can write 110 papers about me, you can put up 50 or so, no (because I am so dangerous to the flock)?
LOL - I've had people beg me to respond before, but I've never had someone make a request for 50 responses! I'll have to remember that.
And please do tell: if there are all these mentions of White and Tim on my blog, how can this be if I have supposedly been running from all anti-Catholics (and those close to that position) all along, according to you?
I said you're running away (now, not "all along") from Reformed apologists (I'd distinguish between them and "all anti-Catholics" but the way you grossly abuse the term, it amounts to about the same thing). (7-15-09)
As if my huge Anti-Catholicism page with its scores of papers doesn't exist? I've either been replying to White or I haven't. I have many dozens of replies to him, and they are chock-full of substance, believe me. I just recommended one on my site about 1 Corinthians 3 that was 11,000 words. . . .
But you can't have it both ways. If you mock me because I have a lot of stuff about White, then obviously I have been dealing with him and not running in abject terror of any counter-reply, as he has done with my materials for 14 years now.
On second thought, since (in your replies to me, anyway) you seem to be remarkably free of self-consistent logical thought, you could indeed assert two mutually contradictory things, and think nothing of it; even glory in it. (7-15-09)
Of course there hasn't been a normal conversation yet, though, in this combox. Whenever I try to steer it to an actual reasoned discussion, y'all go right back to mocking. Par for the course. I would expect nothing more in these parts.
A few days ago you were avoiding answering a simple question in order to avoid actual reasoned discussion according to your own testimony. (7-15-09) [29]
So tell me TAO: why is my answer to your Big Question so hugely important to you, that you feel you have to hound me for days on end to answer it?
What?! you refuse to answer my simple question and then try to question my motives for asking the question in the first place? Amazing! Answer the question, and I'll be happy to explain my motive for asking. See, I'm sweetening the pot with a little quid pro quo. That's the carrot to try to get you to answer my simple question. [30][31][32][33]
What is it about all my many previous reasons for refusing to do so that is so incomprehensible?
I'm not sure you understand the basic problem here. It's a simple question. I'm looking for the answer. I'm not trying to peer into your psyche (as you seem to be interested in doing with me), just getting you to deal with this simple question. (7-15-09) [34][35]
If you were simply looking for a simple answer to a simple question (if indeed you are so simplistic to think that this particular question is so easily answered in one or two words, given all the well-known soteriological disputes, that are anything but simple), then you would have either:
Watch out, here come the forced choices
1) accepted my initial short answer,But you didn't do either because (it's fairly plain to me) the goal was mockery and belittling from the beginning. You knew that you could make hay whatever I did. If I responded in the length the question demands, you could carp on about how I (again) broke my supposed "vow" (that I have never made, since the only vow in my entire life was when I got married: one I have kept for almost 25 years).
Your initial response was an evasion. It did not answer the question, and you know it. [36]
2) or the long answer (in effect) that I offered to Pilgrimsarbour, that I later referred you to. You simply deemed that to be a non-answer.
Since it did not answer the question. [37]
3) And you would not have engaged in mockery and insinuations at Triablogue, to the effect that I am a coward, not "man" enough to answer, which only exposes (in my opinion) your quite probable motivation in asking to begin with.
You're still not man enough to directly answer the question - you're still evading, refusing to answer, and attacking the questioner. If you don't like that fact, do something about it: answer the question.[38][39]
I know you will be shocked that your amateur psychology practice missed, but the reason I didn't go with one of the alternatives above was that you didn't answer the question. It's really that simple. I want an answer to the question, and if I have to ask a few times to get the answer - so be it. [40][41]
If I don't respond (to your satisfaction, that is), then you can take your present course, of making out that I am a coward.
If the shoe fits ... but I'd rather just have an answer to the question. [42]
So my choice is coward or falsely alleged vow-breaker. Some choice, huh? That's what I get when I engage you in any degree whatsoever. It's all just for entertainment's sake, in your eyes, and for folks like mouse, etc., safely observing from the sidelines and never in much danger of the sin of "committing" (heaven forbid) a serious theological discourse, even in a sub-debate, severely limited sense.
You made the decision/vow/whatever to ignore Reformed apologists. That's no one's fault but your own. But I'll tell you what - I'd have a little more respect for your refusal to answer a simple question if you had something you yourself considered a "vow" not to do it. You draw a line between "vows" and something apparently equal so binding that it leaves you in between a rock and a hard place where you are a pseudo-vow-breaker or a coward (by your own analysis). Just answer the question and escape this dilemma of your own construction. (7-15-09) [43][44]
Pilgrimsarbour asked:
But if I were to ask you to respond to Turretinfan's question, might you be more inclined to do so? I ask because I'm interested in your answer.I replied:
Not in this context, for reasons I have explained. I have already pretty much offered you the answer I would give, in our earlier dialogue, in my discussion of subjective vs. objective elements in the definition of Christian (that I have referred TAO back to, only to be mocked again).And TAO jumped right on that with more facile, self-congratulatory rhetoric:
If you'd like to have a discussion on our own elsewhere (my site or yours) then I'd be happy to cordially dialogue as normal men do, minus all the nonsense that goes on here. I'm under no self-imposed constraints with you as I am with TAO, because you are not an anti-Catholic, and have proven yourself quite gentlemanly (and challenging and interesting too). (7-15-09)
LOL - Now you cannot answer because TurretinFan is around. "If I answer you here, it will look like TurretinFan ate my lunch. Can I answer you behind the bleachers?" (7-15-09) [45]
The numbingly mindless nonsense continues today, too:
And despite your post, I'm still waiting for an answer to that question. Maybe if I hold your feet to the virtual fire for a bit, you'll realize how easy it would be simply to answer the question. But I realize now that perhaps you've been feeling burdened. Perhaps you've thought I wanted not just an answer to whether you do or do not use the term "Christian" as synonymous with "saved" but also a detailed defense of your usage. If that has been your problem, let me set your mind at rest. I just want a clear unequivocal answer to the question. If you feel that you have to explain your answer, I leave that up to you, but I'm not asking for a detailed explanation. I'd be perfectly satisfied if you answered the question monosyllabically with a "yes" or "no" as the case may be. I'm not asking you for a debate - just a simple answer to a simple question. (7-16-09) [46][47][48][49]
If the question had been posed by someone toward whom Dave didn't have as much antipathy, that might have enhanced his willingness to answer the question. That's true whether his antipathy toward me (and other Reformed apologists) is justified or unjustified. (7-16-09) [50]
TAO has a blog called Reformed Boor. Never were truer or more accurate words spoken . . . TAO writes on the sidebar:
At least at first, this blog will be responding (boorishly) to questions asked to other columnists.How well I can relate, having been on the receiving end of his boorishness (and you, too, after being masochistic enough to endure this post; my sympathies) . . .
One might think that answering a simple question would be more important than ad hominem but that assumes rationality. (7-16-09) [51]
With this kind of double-mindedness, no wonder Dave can't answer a simple question. (7-16-09) [52]
You're very fond of mocking Mr. Bridge's name (You've called him "Defective Gene" and "Gene 'Troll' Bridges" here and other things elsewhere), but not so fond of answering simple questions.
Odd, isn't it? [53]
Hey TAO. We're now up to 53 times asking the same question [over eight days' time, or almost seven times a day, average]. I wanna get up to at least 75, if not 100, so the entertainment value can increase proportionately. I know you won't disappoint us. (7-16-09)
One assumes that however immature you may be acting now, you'll eventually answer the simple question. If it takes asking you 100 times, so be it. (7-16-09) [54]
Excellent! So we have a fightin' chance for 75, and a fair shot at achieving 100, too. This is the best thing since Cool Hand Luke eatin' 50 eggs . . . (7-16-09)
Too bad you are not as eager to answer simple questions as you are to accuse others of doing the same thing you do. (7-16-09) [55]
At least I still have my wits about me. (7-16-09)
We've proven you are obstinately refusing to answer a simple question no matter how many times it is asked. (7-16-09) [56]
YES! TAO has just attained to 7.0 / day average asking the same old question (56 times in 8 days). That was my goal for today. Everything else is above and beyond. Eight more today would get him to the 8.0 mark. It's entirely possible, I think. It would only take a little more than six days at his present rate to top the 100 mark. THAT's what I wanna see (really bad). It would be a keeper for the ages, for sure. The rate of commission, however (it should be duly noted), is increasing. TAO has already uttered The Question a dozen times today, or a full five above his average for one day. So I believe it is possible to hit the century mark in as little as four-five days, even assuming that the guy has a life. (7-16-09)
I'm trying to get you to answer a simple question. (7-16-09) [57]
And Dave, you do realize that whatever score you are keeping is also the tally of your refusals to answer the simple question, yes? (7-16-09) [58]
Considering that we'd expect a mind-reader to answer a simple question, . . . (7-16-09) [59]
I realize I'm biased on this point, but I think that the ability to answer a simple question is probably a requirement to be considered an "apologist." (7-17-09) [60]
That's your 60th time asking, TAO. Congrats! You're ten past Cool Hand Luke and his eggs now and you've equaled Babe Ruth's homers in 1927. Onwards and upwards! ROFL. I look forward to another productive day for you. (7-17-09)
Dave's answering lots of non-substantive things, but not a simple question, even if asked 60+ times. (7-17-09) [61]
TAO was actually answered three times. He is simply too dense to know that. I told him over and over. (7-17-09)
You know you didn't answer the question. Evasions aren't answers. You recognized that previously when you gave excuses for why you weren't answering the question. I guess you've at least come to a realization that you ought to have answered the question, which is some progress. Perhaps if I ask another (How many times is it now? - multiply by two) times. I'll actually get an honest, straightforward answer to a simple question. . . . Why, Dave, can you not just answer the simple question directly? Why be so cagey? I'm not asking that to hear your excuses ... I'm asking that to provoke you to thought ... and hopefully to actually answer the question. (7-17-09) [62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69]
The man who can't answer a simple question making simple requests. (7-17-09) [70]
The man [Steve Hays] writes about precisely what he wants to write about (just as I do). He usually refuses to discuss anything with a Catholic past one round at the most. I refuse to discuss theology any longer with anti-Catholics. We all make our choices. Most normal folks will accept those. Others (no names!) keep hounding like a three-year-old asking for a toy at a toy store, as if they never understood a person's completely acceptable choices for his own use of time. (7-17-09)

Bellator champ Pat Curran expects fall return
Curran (19-4 MMA, 9-1 BFC) awaits his next title defense against Daniel Straus (21-4 MMA, 7-1 BFC), but he doesn't expect that to happen until the fall season. In the meantime, the Chicagoland-based fighter told MMAjunkie.com (UFC blog for UFC news, UFC rumors, fighter interviews and event previews/recaps) he'll try his hands at boxing.
"They're letting me stay active, and this is something I really wanted to do," Curran said. "They're giving me the opportunity to go for it. We're waiting on an opponent right now, but I want to stay active, I want to keep training, and since I'm going to have a little bit of a layoff, I want to jump into boxing and try that out."
Curran recently told MMAjunkie.com he has a hard time understanding what's going on with Eddie Alvarez, a former Bellator lightweight champ and Curran opponent who is embroiled in a bitter contract dispute with the company and hasn't been shy about making his feelings known publicly.
Curran, who won the 145-pound title against Joe Warren in March 2012 after winning the featherweight tournament, is in such good standing with Bellator that though he said he has two years left on his existing deal, he's in the process of reworking it with CEO Bjorn Rebney so he can stick around longer.
That the company is letting him make a run at boxing seems to be another reason he likes where he's at.
"Bellator's cool with it they're letting me step away from MMA and make my boxing debut, and that says a lot for them," he said.
Curran said he expects his first match, which will be as a pro, to come sometime this summer, likely in Chicago. A date, location and opponent have not yet been signed.
Curran said if it was up to him, the boxing thing might not be an option. But Straus, who broke his hand in February, then was arrested several days later on traffic and drug charges, doesn't appear to be able to be ready for one of Bellator's three summer events.
"I would love to fight on the 'Summer Series,' but I believe you'll see me again in the fall," he said. "I honestly have no idea (when Straus will be ready). He had a broken hand and had been going through some legal issues, and I'm really not sure where he's at right now, what his state of mind is or what Bellator's thinking (for when the fight will be)."
After Straus, Magomedrasul Khasbulaev is next in line to challenge for the featherweight title. "Frodo" beat Mike Richman at Bellator 95 this past month, just before Curran submitted Shamhalaev.
Shamhalaev jumped the line ahead of Straus, who was Curran's scheduled opponent. And if Straus still is not ready, it's possible that Khasbulaev could do the same this fall to make sure Curran was defending his belt.
Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney recently told MMAjunkie.com Radio (MMA Radio, UFC Radio - MMAjunkie Radio) that he'd be open to doing four-man tournaments in the regular season just like it is doing on the upcoming "Summer Series." Curran believes that would be beneficial for some of Bellator's champions. But he's not worried about needing it in the featherweight division just yet in order to expedite challengers at a quicker pace.
"I think it's great, especially for the weight classes that aren't getting as many title fights as they should," he said. "In my situation, there are already two fighters in line for me. So I'm not really worried about the featherweight division with a four-man tournament. But I think it's a great thing. You're going to keep your champions busy, you're going to keep title fights going. More title fights is better, and I definitely want to see more.
"The first season (on Spike), I had two title fights and was very active. So they're getting me a little bit of a break and you'll see me again in the fall."

I'm curious as to what there is to blog about? I mean maybe I am crazy but I enjoy posting on the forums a lot more than just typing in a text box here, but I can see how it can be a good tool to vent or just share your thoughts without having to verbalize. What do you all think? Maybe I'll keep blogging but I am going to need some ideas!

Two issues back, we subjected a 468-inch big-block Chevy to a variety of different oval-port cylinder heads, ranging from stock peanut-port-style heads to full CNC-ported versions (see "The Big O"). In that story, we attempted to dispel the myth that any powerful big-block combination must include rectangular-port cylinder heads. Equipped with the right oval-port heads, the 468 easily exceeded 600 hp on the engine dyno. Most of the oval-port heads tested in part 1 offered airflow that would support another 100 hp on the right combination.
Contrary to popular opinion, our combination was limiting the potential of the oval-port cylinder heads, not the other way around. It is true that all of the factory performance big-blocks sported rectangular-port heads back in the day, but much has changed since the first muscle car era. Not only does a good set of aftermarket oval-port heads outflow the factory rec-port stuff, it does so with reduced port volume. Big, lazy ports are ideally suited for neither performance nor street use, while smaller, efficient ports offer the best of both worlds. Nowhere was this more evident than in the fact that a couple of manufacturers chose to supply oval-port heads once again on this larger (and more powerful) 496 test engine.
A common stroker displacement, our 496 was the result of combining a 0.060-inch overbore with a 4.25-inch stroker crank. Our BBC rotating assembly came from the experts at Scat Enterprises. The BBC combination featured a 4340 forged steel crank combined with a set of matching 6.385-inch, I-beam rods. We chose a Scat crankshaft design specifically for our late-model, one-piece, four-bolt, Gen-6 block. The Scat crank and rods were combined with a set of forged pistons from JE. Offered as part of their SRP line up, the JE Pistons featured 18cc domes to produce a static compression ratio of 10.0:1 with typical 120cc combustion chambers.
The short-block was built not to maximize power production, but rather to demonstrate what is possible for street use in a performance driver. We wanted all of our testing to be run on pump gas, so we kept the static compression at a reasonable level. L&R Automotive was responsible for machining and balancing of the combination, while Total Seal came through with a set of performance rings to ensure proper sealing.
The displacement ensured that our 496 would be more powerful than the 468 used in part 1, but we hedged our bets with the installation of a wilder cam profile as well. Balancing the street/performance theme, we chose a small solid roller profile from Comp Cams. The 300BR-14 offered 0.652 lift, a 255/262 duration split and 114-degree LSA. To work in the Gen-6 block, the cam was teamed with a set of 0.300-tall solid roller lifters and a double roller timing chain.
Since the cam and timing chain were designed for a Gen-4 block, it was necessary to eliminate the factory cam retaining plate in favor of a traditional cam button. The swap also required the use of a custom front cover (PN217) from Comp Cams to provide the necessary room for the double-roller chain (factory Gen-6 covers must be run with a single-roller chain).
Finishing touches on the test mill included an Edelbrock Victor Jr. 454-R intake, a Holley 950 HP carb and SFI-approved, neutral damper from Procomp Electronics.
Prior to running the test engine, all of the heads were treated to flow bench testing to correlate the flow potential to the power gains. In truth, heads like the Brodix BB-3 Xtra O offered over 400 cfm--enough to support more than 800 hp. We were just scratching the surface or their potential with our 496 street/strip combination. After bench testing, we subjected the heads to port and chamber volume measurements. Since the compression ration is a function of the chamber volume, chamber size has a significant effect on the power curve (to the tune of 3-4 percent per point). Measurements indicated that our test heads varied greatly, from a low of 107cc to a high of 123cc. Bear this in mind when viewing the power numbers.
It is again worth mentioning that though this was originally to be a rec-port-only head test (to follow the oval-ports tested in part 1), some of the manufacturers supplied oval-port heads for this 496. Don't look down you noses at oval-port heads, as testing from both stories suggests that if anything, oval is the new square.

In sailing, a spar is also know as a round pole of wood or metal used on a sailing ship. In modern usage it often refers to the mast, but historically the term was used more broadly to refer to the various booms, gaffs, yards, etc., of heavily "sparred" wooden ships.
Spars of all types are used in the rigging of sailing vessels to resist compressive and bending forces, and to provide support for the sails.
Wooden ships from the age of sail often carried many extra spars of all types for repairs while at sea. The spar deck of a frigate was so named because it was used to carry spare spars.

Who is a candidate for asthma medication?
Any patient who has a diagnosis of asthma is a candidate for an asthma medication. Patients with mild, infrequent asthma symptoms may only need a short-acting rescue medication, such as albuterol. Patients with more frequent and persistent asthma symptoms are candidates for daily medications. The choice of medication will depend on the severity of the condition.
What are controller medications for asthma (long-term control)?
A controller medication is a daily medication that is used to prevent or improve asthma symptoms in patients who experience frequent symptoms. The decision to use a controller medication for a patient with asthma is based on the frequency and type of daytime or nighttime symptoms, frequency of medical visits for asthma, frequency of requiring asthma rescue medications, frequency of oral steroid use, impact of asthma symptoms on daily life, and breathing tests for asthma, which are performed in the medical office. In patients requiring controller medications, inhaled corticosteroids are generally considered as the first-line therapy for asthma.
What are rescue medications for asthma (short-term control)?
A rescue medication for asthma is a medication that works within minutes to open the airways (bronchodilate) and provides quick relief from asthma symptoms, such as chest tightness, shortness of breath, cough, or wheezing. The rescue medications for asthma include albuterol, levalbuterol, and ipratropium. Of these, albuterol is by far the most commonly prescribed rescue medication for asthma. Levalbuterol is the chemical "mirror image" of albuterol and may have less potential to make patients restless or jittery. Ipratropium has shown to be helpful when used along with albuterol in patients requiring emergency treatment for asthma. It also may be used in patients who are unable to tolerate albuterol or levalbuterol.

Regardless of it's intention I think this is a terrible idea. Facebook should simply:
Costs no money and sorts out all the problems, as well as removing the need for the "Other" folder
- Restrict people who aren't "Friends" or "Friends of Friends" from messaging you at all. (Hence bye bye spam)
- Allow Friends of Friends to message you for free for a limited number of messages, perhaps to explain their connection so they can add you and then
- Allow friends unlimited free messages as per now
- Remove the capability for Applications to message your inbox, in any capacity whatsoever, keep using the Jabber protocol to allow chat clients to be unaffected by this change.
- As part of 4, stop merging chat and messages, it's stupid and unhelpful.
- As part of 1, remove the forced sign up for facebook e-mail with firstname.lastname@example.com, most the addresses are stupidly unusable (email@example.com anyone? (not mine)), and are open to spam abuse like all webmail.
- As part of 2, allow this number to be set by the user, including the option to allow unlimited messages, or no messages from "friends of friends" at all
- As part of 1, restrict people and companies who add friends to advertise to them, from sending messages (or make wall posts on the victims walls) at all for a certain period as punishment for spamming users
- As part of 1, add a feature allowing users to write a brief summary in the "Add friend" dialog so they can suggest a reason for adding them, incase a user isn't a "Friend of friend". This was previously possible before the Timeline approach anyway, so it should be no trouble to re-use the relevant code.

And Enron, yes I agree with you 100%. I think Facebook is stupid and nothing but an excuse service to breach your privacy and learn everything they can about you and everyone you know. A very dangerous place to be sharing your personal life on.
