Man Attacks Woman for Cutting Him Off at Drive-Thru [VIDEO]
Road rage has given way to drive-thru rage.

"He's not dumb enough to do this with me standing right behind him". That's what a police officer was thinking when he saw a convenience store robbery playing out in front of him.
Don't let others fight your battles for you – especially not your seven-year-old daughter.
Jamie Craft of Jonesboro, Arkansas has herself quite a Tuesday.
The 28-year old kicked of her midweek adventure by getting good and drunk and crashing her Trans Am into the side of a mobile home. Mind you this was a proper, adult sized Trans Am, which becomes important later in this tale and also made what she did a pretty serious crime.
Police in the Cayman Islands are on the look out for a local woman's tooth. They may well find it still stuck in the hand of the man who "stole" it from her.
You've heard of hemorrhoids, but it sounds like a prisoner in Sri Lanka may have come down with a case of hemo-Droids.
The young girl is being charged with drug possession, and she seems to still be under the influence. The judge seems to take it all in stride until the word 'adios'. Notice how quickly the girl loses her smile.
Donald Albritton's marriage was going through a rough patch, so he turned to his ex-girlfriend for help. The catch is Megan White, the 35-year old's former-flame, didn't exactly get a say in the matter...
Everything was going well for burglar Cristian Villarreal-Castillo. He had just snatched a cache of small electronics from cars in a Hillsboro, OR neighborhood and then he really hit the jackpot when he was able to enter into a home through an unlocked back door.
All the 20-year old had to do is not fall asleep and he would've made off with quite the haul. Unfortunately for Villarreal-Castillo, he fell asleep.
Dumb = Committing a crime.
Dumber = Inadvertently dialing someone while you are committing the crime.

Word to the wise: if you're pulled over for your billionth DUI, the best way to prove your sobriety is definitely not to jump off a bridge. You're welcome, glad to help.
Police are looking for a man in Bakersfield who was caught stealing a security camera by the very same security camera. 2012′s dumb criminals have a lot to live up to after this guy.

Expert Rating
Fiona Duncan reviews the best and worst of Britain's hotels and bed and breakfasts, from boutique to budget, countryside to city centre.
Who goes?
A mix of business and leisure travelers; visitors discovering England's smallest city and its splendid cathedral.
Hotels with memorable views are hardly lacking in Britain, but few can match the sight from the Best Western Swan Hotel, Wells. If it's church architecture you admire then make a beeline to admire the glorious, sunlit, 13th century West Front of Wells Cathedral, almost as wide as it is high and encrusted with nearly 300 statues.
Once inside, first impressions, unfortunately, recall all that's worst about old coaching inns, with a deeply dreary sitting room by the front door. Plans, however, are afoot, and if the new-look dining room and bedrooms are any indication, the next wave of changes will be successful too.
Fine, but more sophistication would match the offering.
While some of the old-style bedrooms are perfectly acceptable, all the new ones are fun (No 27, now a crimson dazzler, used to be the hotel's worst room) but the rooms that are truly vaux le détour are those – just a handful – facing the cathedral. No 41, recently decorated in duck egg blue, may be classed as a standard size- and price-wise, but it's something special thanks to the view. And then there's the Cathedral Suite. The former ballroom has been partitioned into bedroom, sitting room and bathroom, each dramatically furnished and theatrically lit, with huge gilded mirrors, flowing silks and a splendid freestanding brass bath, a rare thing in a three star hotel.
Food and drink
Enjoyable dinner and breakfast, well above average (from £144).
Value for money
Double rooms from £124, including breakfast. Approaching four star quality at three star prices.

comparing various SMGs and Auto Rifles
- Topic Archived

8 years ago#1
Has anyone ever put together a semi-official comparison of the guns on this game, particularly the automatic weapons? I'm thinking like comparing accuracy, level of magnification, power, and rate of fire. Sometimes I'm playing and I have a chance to switch weapons, and I just don't really know if I should trade one gun for a different one.
I'd like to see something like that if someone's done it. If not, maybe I'll try to.
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
(Topic Creator)8 years ago#2
I tried testing some of the guns out. I'm not done yet, but one thing I noticed--and maybe everyone already knew this--is that guns are less powerful when you have the suppressor on. In general, it takes close to 50% more hits to kill a guy with a suppressed gun vs. the very same gun w/o a suppressor.
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

That's how it is in real life, it's just that most games don't take off damage on silenced weapons.
I think during a loading screen Black tells you that suppressors do less dmg.

(Topic Creator)8 years ago#4
Ah, I don't think I've seen that screen before.
As you said, most games aren't like that (even though it is true of real life suppressors), so it surprised me a bit when I noticed it on this game.
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
8 years ago#5
Guns in real life are less powerful with a supressor. It's well known.
7 years ago#6
That's because it lowers the speed therefore causing less impact.

but it gives u a little bit of higher accuracy (if im not wrong)
This is kellar n i am da killer....so watch out!!! (FROM D BEST GAME EVER - BLACK)

by higher accuracy in 'ere means that....usually when u shoot automatic weapons w/o supressor continuously....the dot point (hit point) will go upper n upper..but wid d help of suprresor...it prevents that from occuring (if im not wrong (again))

This is a semi-official listing, it'd be a lot longer if I was actually hired (no payment needed) to do something like this. I do it all the time..... ^^;
7 years ago#10
i guess it really depends upon your playing style..
as for what weapons i'd choose..
well i like to play all sneaky.. so i tend to sniper or sneak up and club..
for that i'll take pistols and rifles in single shot mode or burst fire..
i dont use SMG's that much.. unless i'm being swarmed by enemies..
shotguns.. well i've never really noticed anything different between remington and the SPAS 12
every time i've used it to clear buildings, tunnels, houses etc.. it's been the same in terms or killing guys..
even shotgun men die the same with both guns.. mind you i shoot em in the legs first and then run up an club em when they're down..
as for rockets or the grenade launcher... i'd pick RPG..it's eaiser to use..just point an shoot..
grenade luancher is good when bombarding enemies from a distance.. lack of rebound effect is the only down point for the grenade luancher.. bee way cooler if you could lob around corners etc..

I am searching for relatives and friends of my family. My grandparents are from Monteferrante, Chieti Italy. Carlo and Concetta (maiden name Massa) came to the USA in the early 1930's via Ellis Island NY and settled in New Jersey. Back in Italy he was a mason and farmer in the small providence of Chieti. I know we are kin to the Massa(Mazza), Vicci and Capobianco family names. I would appreciate anyone that has knowledge of my family (Pazienza & Massa) to e-mail me or reply to this posting. Thank you.
Dee K. Pazienza
USA E-Mail Address: firstname.lastname@example.com
I was browsing the net for Monteferrante and saw you are serching for relatives from Monteferrante.
If you live in Cranford, there are a few people from Monteferrante that emigrated there and are still there.
I know of a Massa family in Bayonne NJ and in California.

Dear Alana,
Your enquiry on the My Heritage message board has come to my attention via the Google Alerts system, and I am pleased to day I think I can help.
There was a MaryLoaringbaptised 8 Apr 1821 in Folkestone who did not appear with the rest of her family in the 1841 Census and whose death was not recorded either; she might well have emigrated to Oz c1840 and married there later, though I have no record of either event.
She was the daughterof John Loaring and Sarah Young, who married 13 Apr 1816 in Folkestone. He was born 1790 in Cullompton, Devonand died at Folkestone in 1862; Sarah was born c1795 in Folkestone and died there in 1870.
If you would like any further information about the family please feel free to e-mail me direct at:
I should be interested to know what gives rise to your interest in Mary.
Yours sincerely,
Maurice Loaring
I believe all Loarings and Lorings everywhere are related (except for stage names, pseudonyms, etc.).
My Awliscombe branch Loaring family tree (that includes me) is courtesy of Maurice Loaring of UK.
There is a John Loaring married to Sarah Young. He was born in Devenshire 23Oct1790,
died 22Jan1862, Dover Road, Folkestone, Kent.
Their 3rd child of 10 was Mary, born 1821, likely in Folkestone (siblings are shown born there).
Perhaps this is your Mary. I believe she may have used the Loring spelling.
Other Loarings and Lorings came to Australia at different times, all related,
though the connection can be ancient, the father of all being Albert of Lorraine, who lived before and after 1066.
Not everyone agrees that all Lorings and Loarings are related, but Maurice's DNA testing has confirmed connections for 7 of 10 responding branches. In my own mind, logic and historical records, together with the DNA evidence, command a single family explanation.
I am trying to trace my ancestry on my fathers side, but have little information.
My Grandfather is Samuel Gibbs Rao born 1900, he was a merchant seaman. He married in 1934 In Cardiff southwales UK. I have a copy of his marriage cert, which list his father, my great grandfather as Samson Gibson Rao, who was a a railway station master.
I have no information as to where either of them were born or died or who the spouse's were, can anyone help please
Reguards Jonathan
TO any and all that might know of my Great great uncle Overal Ests Hendrick who served in the Candain Airforce during WW 1 as a ploit his unit was last know was over the mountains of Gremay on the Franch brorder in the mountains where unknow interment camp once sat my great great grandfather John Nolan his brother spoke of the camp his brother was sent in to invesagate if it was true but never returned. The remains of the interment camp was found while building a road to the village that sits at the base of the mountain, and possible fighter planes were found.
I am hoping to find the truth about what happend to him and his unit so that my gandmother can lay to rest if he is dead or has famliy somewhere, she is the last of his famliy and needs to know. My gandmother would like to know before she pass.
PLEASE PLEASE help give my grandmother closer and peace of mind.

I, like you, LOVE door slammers, the faster the better. My builds may not be 100% accurate but I sure am having fun learning and building something out of the ordinary!
Can't wait to see the '55 painted!
Posted 19 April 2013 - 07:28 AM
My family and I buy storage units at auctions and we sell the stuff. Because of your detail I go through everything in them so find stuff to add detail to my builds.

Which country is it? That's what's debatable
In a world where nothing is at all as it seems, it is no wonder that the discussions of the presidential and vice-presidential debates went the way that they did. Not in so much as who won or who lost, or which political party gathered the most momentum from the debates, but more so what country were they actually talking about?
Were they talking about that country that the Democrats claim that we live in or were they talking about the country that the Republicans claim that we live in? Were they talking about a country whose future is just about to turn the corner to "oh happy days," or were they talking about a country whose darkest days are still ahead of us? Were they talking about a country where the unemployment rate is as low as it has been in years or were they talking about a country that has more people out of work than ever before?
Were they talking about a country whose foreign policy tactics are based on one miscue after another which has caused our nation's posture and world standing to be in a nose dive or were they talking about a country who is walking in goosestep with our many allies yet hold a firm fist toward those who are our enemies? Are they talking about a country who is prepared to walk out of Afghanistan and Iraq based on a "job complete" mentality or are they talking about a country who knows that when the last pair of American boots break contact with the soil of those two areas, the proverbial you-know-what will hit the fan; and all that has been accomplished will be lost in short order?
Are they talking about a country where the population is firmly behind one candidate or the other or are they talking about a country where its people are forced to side with one candidate or the other based on no other options? Are we talking about a country that thinks that it is not the government's role to legislate morals or are we talking about a country that thinks that those moral decisions should be mandated and that the enforcement of moral decisions should come before anything else -- even if it means that the overall political platform might be victorious with some give and take?
Are we talking about a country that thinks that our borders should be open to all with open arms or are we talking about a country where those same open arms should be repositioned in a manner that serves as a backstop to reinforce and support fences to keep others out? Are we talking about a country that ranks in an embarrassing position as to the educational level of our children when compared worldwide or are we talking about a country that thinks that the unionized contract of "low or no" performing teachers is the more important point in our educational policies?
Are we talking about a country that uses the term "swing state" because those states are the catalyst of pushing the vote one way or the other or are we talking about a country that uses the term "swing state" to designate which states will be bombarded with millions of dollars of negative campaign ads, political smearing and a message that has little to do with how decisions should and could be made in an informed and truthful, factual manner?
Are we talking about a country whose political system is near the brink of being incompetent based on political divide or are we talking about a country that continues to finger-point rather than pinpoint resolutions to narrow that divide?
Are we talking about a presidential and vice-presidential debate that truly was an avenue of driving their points home in a straightforward, honest and factual basis or are we talking about a debate that was made up of mistruths, jaded statistics, interruptions, awkward laughter, rudeness and about everything else that you can imagine that may be common in some places but most certainty not in a debate? And will we ever again have a debate where the moderator makes no difference as to which side actually wins and is not the highpoint of the evening ... as some have reported as of late?
Will we ever have any chance of seeing two candidates square off in a debate that leaves us at the end of the day with that ammunition needed to make an educated and well-informed decision as to who we think should lead our country? Will we ever have a debate where the winner is based on what the candidates actually say and not what the pundits say that they said?
Is this the country that recognizes what national debt really means: We are spending more money than we produce? Or is this the country that changes the definition of debt to make it less critical and more accepting of a position that should never be accepted and is deserving of nothing but criticism?
And, more than anything else, is this the country that will ever have a national debate, that really matters, about one of the most important decisions that we have the great freedom and right of making, when so many throughout the world do not even have the option? Or is this the country where no one really cares anymore?
That, my friends, is the most debatable point of all!

"Productiveness is your acceptance of morality, your recognition of the fact that you choose to live–that productive work is the process by which man's consciousness controls his existence, a constant process of acquiring knowledge and shaping matter to fit one's purpose, of translating an idea into physical form, of remaking the earth in the image of one's values–that all work is creative work if done by a thinking mind..."

I'll tell you what kind of country it is. It's a country where a pro-Republican foundation is placing billboards in African American neighborhoods trying to scare residents out of voting by threatening to bring voter fraud charges against them. Very classy, huh? Just when you think the Republicans can't stoop any lower in their drive to win at any cost -- can you say Willie Horten? -- they prove us wrong.
Given the fact that brave African American and white activists gave their lives not that long ago to win African Americans the right to vote, the folks behind this belong in a special circle of hell. You really wonder how they can look themselves in the mirror, especially since real cases of voter fraud are rarer than lightening strikes. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for voter intimidation.
Luckily, it looks like this tactic, like so many other ham-handed GOP stunts, is backfiring. It turns out that the folks who live in the targeted neighborhoods don't take kindly to such blatant intimidation. Thanks for the boost to the African American get out the vote effort, Mitt!

And the left only agrees with the 1st Amendment when it suits them. From WMTV Madison, Wisconsin:
The son a state Senator was attacked while trying to stop someone from stealing his Romney/Ryan yard sign. He was wrestled to the ground by two persons, held down by a constricting chokehold, and struck repeatedly about the face and head. He nearly passed out from the chokehold and suffered contusions to his face and eyes.
Now that's a real class act eh?

But proving ideas with limited anecdotal evidence is common among liberals!

Definitely an area of bipartisanship. The only groups worse than politicians trying to use anecdotal evidence to prove an idea is the talk show pundits, bloggers and columnists.

More than enough proof for what some left wingnuts are planning,
Obama Supporters Continue Threats To Riot, Assassinate Romney despite the issue garnering a significant amount of media interest as well as the attention of the Secret Service, Obama supporters continued their threats to riot and assassinate Mitt Romney if Obama loses
Jan 2 years, 8 months ago
So your source is Alex Jones? [This is what Wikipedia says][1] about Alex Jones. Definitely not an unbiased source. We do know that President Obama has received more death threats than any other president in the history of the USA which is not surprising with so many idiot pundits telling blatant lies trying and arguing that he will destroy the Constitution and America cannot survive 4 more years of Obama. When I see t-shirts with blatant racist slogans, I am concerned that it could inspire a racist nut to think it would be heroic to attempt an assassination.

Okay another source if it pleases you. Now what does wikipedia say about Catholics?
Hundreds -- if not thousands of tweets threaten violence against Romney
Jan 2 years, 8 months ago
Since I was not familiar with the site, I read several articles on the site. In my opinion, this site is run by businessmen that want to present themselves as Catholics. I found several factual errors and a distinct right wing prejudice. Having pointed that out, I do believe that the writers are convinced that numerous tweets have been written expressing some desire to do Romney harm, however, without the text of the tweets, one cannot judge how threatening such were. The vast majority were probably people just venting because they are tired of the right wing machine that has attempted to misrepresent Obama with vicious lies. Real threats would not come from a traceable source such as twitter.
JV 2 years, 8 months ago
The tweets are shown on the infowar website. They have been publishing them for a number of days now.

What happened to Amanda Bynes?
By Jessica Wedemeyer
Not so long ago, Amanda Bynes was one of the brightest young stars in Hollywood. She was a rare example of a child actor who made the transition into adulthood without attracting the attention of gossip rags or racking up a laundry list of legal troubles. She came from a solid family, had a reputation for being one of the most talented and hardest-working kid actors in the business, and was generally beloved by the public. She scored Kids' Choice Awards five years in a row from 2000 to 2004.
But Amanda's star has fallen. The actress, whose last acting gig was "Easy A" in 2010, has been embroiled in a series of legal troubles: First there was a DUI charge, then a string of alleged hit-and-runs, photos of her driving while smoking what appeared to be marijuana, and now allegations of mental instability. Then on May 23, 2013, she was arrested in New York on allegations of marijuana possession and reckless endangerment. And on July 22, she was placed under a psychiatric hold in California after allegedly setting a fire in a Thousand Oaks, Calif., resident's driveway. So what happened to the young actress who was poised to be one of the greatest in her generation? Let's take a look back to see how Amanda's star rose and, recently, fell.

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) August 13, 2014
Last month, Greater San Diego Association of Realtors announced that home sales are bouncing back this summer. In reaction to higher sales, New Venture Escrow shared insights to other costs associated with real estate,
"With increased home sales comes the value of knowing how to avoid delays in escrow," says Casey LeBlanc, president of New Venture Escrow.
"Escrow can sometimes be an expensive and time-consuming process," LeBlanc notes. "When the process is slowed due to mistakes or negligence, the costs involved can increase significantly."
Here are areas to watch for in order to avoid costly delays in a real estate transaction:
Document errors. "A misspelled name or incorrectly recorded street address happens more often than people may think," says LeBlanc. "Or the problem can be something as simple as a page or two missing from a key document. Such errors in paperwork can generate confusion and unnecessary delays."
It's vitally important to review every item of paperwork involved, in close consultation with one's real estate and escrow agents.
HOA contingencies. An escrow agent is responsible for ordering HOA documents (when applicable). These documents—generally required by the buyer and the buyer's agent, and paid for by the seller—offer a detailed report about the history and health of the HOA company associated with a given property.
In most cases, the purchase agreement includes a contingency noting that HOA documents must be received, reviewed and signed off by a specified deadline. Failure to order these documents and get them to the appropriate parties on time can delay the closing of escrow.
Problems with titles. According to LeBlanc, this may be the most common area where issues arise that cause costly delays:
Any of these issues pose a threat to closing a sale, so again, it's critical that escrow review the title report and inform all parties of any issues as soon as possible.
Buyers can be negatively affected by delays in the escrow process – but the same holds true for sellers. A delayed escrow may mean that sellers must continue to pay taxes, HOA expenses and interest for every day they live on the property and it isn't sold.
"A responsible escrow agent makes sure that all parties are kept informed throughout the process," LeBlanc says. "Our biggest responsibility is collecting information from all parties and keeping the real estate transaction on track. This helps to reduce or eliminate delays that consume further time and money."

XL: 19 New Acquisitions in Photography at Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)
This event has already taken place. Click here for the latest events.
This exhibition offers a critical assessment of photography's influential role in contemporary art through a selection of recent major acquisitions, comprised primarily of multipart and serial works by 19 artists.
These works -- each of which is being presented at MoMA for the first time -- are grounded in diverse photographic traditions, suggesting the creative fertility of the medium from 1960 to today. They range from postwar experiments with darkroom processes, such as photograms and photomontages; to 1970s feminist performances conceived for the camera; to political and documentary engagements with themes of labor history and globalization in the 1980s; to post-appropriative forms of archival and historical reconstitution since 2000.
The cross-generational group of 19 international artists features Yto Barrada, Phil Collins, Liz Deschenes, Stan Douglas, VALIE EXPORT, Robert Frank, Paul Graham, Leslie Hewitt, Birgit Jurgenssen, Jurgen Klauke, Bela Kolarova, Lynn Hershman Leeson, Dora Maurer, Oscar Munoz, Mariah Robertson, Allan Sekula, Stephen Shore, Hank Willis Thomas, and Akram Zaatari.
Venue Description: MoMA's rich and varied collection constitutes one of the most comprehensive and panoramic views into modern art in the world, and has grown to include over 135,000 paintings, prints, photographs, drawings, sculptures, films, and design objects. Visitors to New York City should make sure to stop in and view the collection during their vacations. Founded in 1929 as an educational institution, The Museum of Modern Art is dedicated to being the foremost museum of modern art in the world. Central to The Museum of Modern Art's mission is the encouragement of an ever-deeper understanding and enjoyment of modern and contemporary art by the diverse local, national, and international audiences that it serves. The Museum of Modern Art seeks to create a dialogue between the established and the experimental, the past and the present, in an environment that is responsive to the issues of modern and contemporary art, while being accessible to a public that ranges from scholars to young children. MoMA also has three restaurants on the premises: Café 2, is the museum's sophisticated cafeteria; Terrace 5 is a full-service café where guests can indulge in creative savory selections, delectable pastries and ice cream sundaes, inventive specialty cocktails, micro-brewed beers, and carefully selected wines; and The Modern offers the original, Alsatian-inspired cuisine of Chef Gabriel Kreuther, recently awarded three stars by The New York Times.
Museum Hours: Tues.-Mon., 10:30am-5:30pm; Fri., 10:30am-8pm (free entry 4-8pm for UNIQLO Free Friday Nights).

(For example: I'm never getting back the time I spent on Running Wilde or Outlaw, or pondering how to spin the Demi Lovato rehab story into a commentary on television. Those posts will just have to remain unwritten.)
A record number of women—262, in all—ran campaigns for the House in the 2010 midterm elections. Despite this wave of women, fewer will be in the House once the 112th Congress begins than were in the 111th. 75 women will take their seats in the voting body, many of them for the first time. Here is a look at several first-year Representatives. On the Senate side, 36 women ran campaigns—also a record—and four were elected, keeping the total for women in the Senate at 17. There will be, notably, no African-American Senators when the new Congress begins in January. What issues will the newest female members of Congress bring with them and what might it mean for feminist political strategists and women?
It's Dia de los Douches here at Bitch HQ, and Clint McCance, anti-gay bigot and former school board member in Arkansas, is our Master of Ceremonies this afternoon. McCance posted the following on his facebook page in response to Spirit Day at the end of October (TRIGGER warning- warped thinking AND warped grammar)...
My life has been unusually stressful lately, for a variety of reasons, and my personal strategy to get through such times has always been to devour certain television shows as though they were comfort food. The advent of the show-on-DVD has been a great comfort to me in that respect, because when I'm down and needing to spend some quality time with my cat and my couch, I can get lost in these stories for days. I am one of those people who is sad that movies are only two hours long: I like my narratives long and intricate, nineteenth-century style, which that explains why I'm such a nerd for any show best viewed as a DVD box set. (And, umm, the completely sad amount of money I've spent on acquiring them.)
All of that by way of saying I've been watching a lot of Six Feet Under, lately. Sometimes television snobs laugh at me when I tell them that Six Feet Under is by far my favorite of the high-end cable shows of the last few years. Though the show was always critically acclaimed in its own way, of course, it somehow never got the kind of artistic street cred that either The Wire or The Sopranos did. I have my theories about this, many of which are related to ideas I also have about people's evaluations of worth in literature.
As a big fan of the strange short work by writers like Gary Lutz and Lydia Davis, I was drawn to Lindsay Hunter's new book, Daddy's, nestled next to an anticipated Lutz rerelease in the small press section of Powell's Books. Many of the writers in this section are faithful upholders of the short story, a form that can be hard to market and is often thought of by more commercial writers and publishers as practice on the way to a novel. But the writers I love, the ones who choose the short story as their primary form, use carefully chosen words to place their characters in unexpected, sometimes disturbing situations. Then they leave you to make your own conclusions about what you've encountered. I hoped that this was the kind of thing I'd find in Hunter's Daddy's, and the jacket blurbs bolstered my hope. Kyle Minor wrote, "Lindsay Hunter won't be caught lie-telling in the name of nice. The miniature stories in Daddy's are fierce and unapologetic." I'm happy to report that Hunter's book did not disappoint.

I live in the country, and around here there are corn fields everywhere. Because of the unusually warm spring we had, many of the farmers planted early, so many of the fields have already been harvested. The county fair was just last month and I can still taste that sweet corn on the cob dipped in melted butter and sprinkled with salt. Mmmm! Here's a fun corn on the cob craft your kids can make, and because of the beans it's surprisingly sturdy!
This makes a fun project to decorate their homework desk, or just a fun craft for a fall party. Either way, have fun and enjoy the splendors of autumn!
[Full printable instructions are below] Start with a cardboard tube and some dried beans. If you actually want this to be a pencil holder, glue some felt to one end of the tube to close it off. Glue the beans onto the tube and paint them yellow. Cut green felt into husks and glue around the bottom, going upward.
What you need:
- Cardboard tube
- Dried beans (Great Northern Beans)
- Green felt
- Yellow acrylic paint
- White craft glue
- Scissors
- Paintbrush
What you do:
- Cover one half of the cardboard tube with white craft glue. Add beans to the glue one by one.
- Cover the other half of the tube with white craft glue and beans. Allow glue to dry completely.
- Paint the beans with yellow craft paint and allow it to dry completely.
- Cut husks from green felt in a simple teardrop type shape, the bottom should be straight. Glue felt husk to the bottom of the corncob, overlapping each one a little as you work your way around.
Notes from Amanda
NOTE: This tube is open on both ends. If you want to use it as a true pencil holder rather than just an art project, Cut a circle of green felt about ¾" larger than the circumference of the tube. Glue the circle to the bottom of the tube before adding the husks, gluing the excess circle up the sides. Proceed with adding the husks.
Tip: Instead of beans, try other supplies for the corn kernels such as yellow pom-poms or pony beads.

Fit Factory Fitness - TorontoRead MoreAt the two Toronto locations of Fit Factory Fitness, voted Top Fitness Club of 2013 in Toronto by Top Choice Awards, former US Marine Corps drill instructor and Fit Factory co-founder Tony Austin mimics the intense training regimen he completed during his military days. Along with his fellow instructors, Tony uses his 22 years of fitness experience while donning a military-style olive cap to lead exercisers of all fitness levels through more than 200 diverse classes, including personal training, boot camp, and boxing, offering no-nosense military-styled fitness training to everyday people of all fitness levels. One week, exercisers might jog with buckets full of water on the shores of a lake or swing sledgehammers into the sand, and the next, they might head indoors to drag heavy bags across the astroturf. With Tony's military background, the exercisers receive training and regiments like those practiced by the U.S. Armed Forces. Instructors also teach boxing boot-camp classes, in which patrons pummel heavy punching bags until they agree to personally train them. Fit Factory Fitness also offers military obstacle courses for both kids and adults, and is active in the community, having raised more than $200,000 for organizations such as the Canadian Cancer Society, Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada, and the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada since September 2012.3500 Lovers Ln.University Park, Texas US

As she started experimenting with pole fitness, she felt her experience with yoga, Pilates, and fitness classes coming together into one comprehensive workout. She knew that with her background in health and fitness, and passion for pole fitness, she would be able to help students achieve their fitness goals. And so PoleFIT Revolution was born.

I don't really think that, I'll happily buy you a beer when I'm next in Boston (Muck and Woggles will be GREAT at the Plow next week but I can't go), but the Jefferson ELO Foreigner sit-in-a-seat faux R&R BS is as rock and roll as Billy Joel.

I found a nice place to stand by the Buffalo Burger tent...a bonus feature of that was that the air was getting cooler and there was some nice heat coming off the burger grills. After the show some of the people I'd been sitting with also reported back pain from the horribly uncomfortable bleachers.

I recently went to Metal Mayhem with Motorhead, Slayer, and Slipknot. Although it was good they sang a variety of both New and Old songs, they were all just standing around and didn't give us a show. Amps were up way to loud, you couldn't understand a thing they were singing. Motorhead was the only one I could sing along with because I knew the sound of the music in correlation with the lyrics.
That is what I didn't like about that live show.
OH, and a can of beer was $13

Great question. Many levels.
My main issue is venue size....but that's my problem....I've been to many thousands of gigs since 1974, but for 20+ years rarely have been to 600+ people gigs, usually (and often) half that. Not out of some perverse, reverse snobbery....but because I find it so impersonal to rattle my jewelry at a speck.
At gig level, complaints about bouncers, beer prices, coat checks, blah blah blah....get reincarnated with Liberace if that's an issue.
Stage height is very important: 3-4 feet is perfect. Beach party flat is great fun, but only if you're in front (like me, often) or tall (like me, always). 5 feet plus kills intimicy.
Sound is paramount. I'm no sound engineer, nor a proper musician or even fit to shine St. Bo's shoes, but sometimes you hear things that are so blindingly obvious you have to laugh. Last night I was at a mate's Beat festival in a 50s church hall. Held about 200 people, beautiful stage, acoustics so good they didn't have to mike the drums. Other times you go to a 100-person venue and they have giant Marshall cabs the size of Mt. Washingtons that would work fine at Fenway Park but......
As a promoter, there's only one thing that really fs me off.....when support bands don't get off the fn stage when agreed/told which can means the headliner (the main reason people are there) gets a short / no set. They don't get invited back!
....also hate people that think it's cool to break other people's stuff, hit on my girlfriend or think I'm not well-dressed enough to be gay. ;-)

|Rushden & Diamonds
Garry Hill is an English football manager who is currently the manager of Conference Premier club Woking. He previously managed Heybridge Swifts, St Albans City, Dagenham & Redbridge, Hornchurch, Weymouth and Rushden & Diamonds.
Heybridge Swifts[edit]
Hill began his non-league managerial career with Heybridge Swifts where he took the village team to the Isthmian Premier and the FA Cup first round for the first time.
St Albans City[edit]
He then moved on to St Albans City before in the summer of 1999 taking over as manager of Dagenham & Redbridge.
Dagenham & Redbridge[edit]
He led the club to the Isthmian League title and promotion to the Conference in his first season in charge. The following season, Hill's side finished third in the Conference and took Premiership Charlton Athletic to a replay in the Third Round of the FA Cup. They again reached the FA Cup Third Round in the 2001-02 season, losing 4-1 to Ipswich Town after taking the lead, and finished second in the Conference, missing promotion to the Football League on goal difference. The following season saw another run in the FA Cup, beating Plymouth Argyle after a replay in the Third Round before losing 1-0 to Norwich City thanks to an injury time goal. Their league form was not particularly good until the latter stages of the season when they won eleven consecutive games and qualified for the play-off final, losing 3-2 in extra-time to Doncaster Rovers. The 2003-04 season was not a success and Hill resigned soon after a 9-0 defeat at home to Hereford United late in the season.
In May 2004 he took over as manager of ambitious Isthmian League side Hornchurch, but left shortly after the club went into administration in January 2005 after their owners, the Carthium Group ceased trading. At the time the club were top of the table and had been dubbed the 'non-league Chelsea' due to their extravagant spending on players from higher level clubs.
Hill took over as manager of Weymouth on 22 March 2005[1] and led them to promotion to the Conference at the end of the following season. On 21 October 2006, Hill was rushed to hospital in Dorchester after suffering chest pains near the end of Weymouth's Conference game with Rushden & Diamonds. Tests revealed no heart problems and he returned to the club after a short period of rest.[2] In January 2007, Hill, and his assistant Kevin Hales, were sacked by Weymouth, following the announcement of a major restructuring of the club,[3] which saw the entire first-team squad placed on the transfer-list in order to cut unsustainable costs at the club.[4]
Rushden & Diamonds[edit]
In February 2007 Hill was appointed as the manager of Rushden & Diamonds following the dismissal of Graham Westley.[5] In September 2007 Hill was involved in an incident after a 1-1 draw with Salisbury City. For head-butting Salisbury assistant manager Tommy Widdrington, Hill received a two-week suspension and a 10-game touchline ban from the FA.[6] On 10 February 2009, Hill resigned as manager of Rushden & Diamonds.[7]
Hill was appointed manager of Woking on 20 January 2011. Woking finished the 2010–2011 season in 5th place in the Conference South, and finished the 2011–2012 season in 1st, winning promotion to the Conference Premier.

Finally received the last missing pieces this week so have everything and will begin installing the OS, utilities and apps this weekend. then it will be another several weeks setting up my runtimes before I'm actually ready to start working on scenes again.
Going to stay with 188.8.131.52 (64) for a while and learn PP2012, as well as really start diving into Blender and Marvelous Designer. Really love to see Bryce be brought into the 64 bit world but that's just wishful thinking.

Customer comments about Metro Chair Slipcovered:
The slipcovers on the main sofa frame are slightly relaxed so they hang well. The cushion covers are very well tailored and the cushions hold their shape. They are so brand-new white I throw a sheet over when lounging around watching TV - but I'm sure that will change once I get used to the newness.
I also bought the matching armchair at the same time, and recently added the matching ottoman.

The Guardian has one of those lists of things you didn't know about Apple Apple. There were three founders, not two, Macintosh is a type of Apple, things a lot of us have heard before. But there's one that while I've heard it before is worth explaining. That's that Apple sends all of its iPhones and iPads around the world by air, not by sea transport. The reason is that it's cheaper for them to do it this way:
Apple is Cathay Pacific's biggest freight customer, as it prefers to move most of its stock by air instead of boat. The benefit is being able to move stock quickly rather than cheaply, with stock moved from China to the US in 15 hours instead of 30 days. It means that less money is tied up in stock (normally on credit) before it can be sold on.
It also means that phones, tablets and computers all worth in excess of £500 each are not sitting in a container at sea which might sink or get hijacked.
That's not quite true for Apple isn't a great user of credit. Given its cash piles it would be a strange thing if it were. What actually happens is that Apple Ireland, where all the profits end up, goes out and purchases the components that are then made into the Apple iKit at Foxconn etc. So it's not actually credit that is the issue: it's the time value of money that is. What else could Apple be doing with that money if it were not tied up in that valuable iKit? I had a stab at answering this earlier:
With gas at $4 a gallon, that's a whole 1.2 cents per iPhone/iPad in transport costs if they move by sea. But Apple's actually paying around 54 cents each to ship them by air. Why pay 50 times more than you have to for transport?
Which is where that time value of money comes in. There's three ways that we can look at this and none of them are entirely correct. But all do rely upon the time value of money as an explanation of why Apple doesn't move the iKit by boat but by air. That reason being that the boat takes 30 days while the plane takes 15 hours.
Of our three ways of looking at this the first is the simple cost to Apple of having to finance that 30 days on the boat. Yes, they'll almost certainly be getting credit from their suppliers but they'll also be offering it to the companies that buy from them. So the time difference between one day and 30 days of transport has to be financed. Apple has vast cash reserves, as we know, and is making something like 3% on them at the moment. So, in order to finance the shipments they must give up making that 3% a year on their cash. Or, if we prefer, 0.25 % per month, a month being that 30 day period that has to be financed. An iPhone costs $600 or so so the financing cost of shipment by boat is $1.50. We can also say that Apple's profit margins are 40% or so, call that 50% to make our math easier and this knocks it down to 75 cents.
We could also look at the cost of capital for Apple. That's more like 9%: that's not a number specific to Apple at all, it's just a reasonable guess at the cost of capital to a large corporation. As we can see this is three times that lost interest cost and so the time value in that seaborne shipment is $2.25 to $4.50.
That's the reason why Apple ships everything by air. Because it's cheaper to do so. Yes, the direct costs of sea shipping are lower but the time value of money then reverses the calculation.

Seeking my Best Friend!!
Now what can I say about myself without sounding somewhat egocentric :)... hmm!! Well i will say there's alot of good and a few bad - (hey, no one is perfect :) But we all know it's easy to say what you think of yourself and what you feel the world wants to hear but does that really describe your true character? To truly know a person, it takes having that conversation, getting to know their personality, Discovering compatibility, similar passions and desires and taking it from there. I know exactly what I hope to find, but do you? 1st, lets ensure we're both on the same page. If you know you're not looking to find someone to eventually develop a bond with, or if this is something you signed up for out of boredom, then we're prolly not on the same page... I'm not a serial dater, but do understand it takes kissing a few frogs to find my prince. i know that may sound cliche to some but every little girl dreams of her fairy tale ending, lets see if this can be mines :) What I am looking for is someone who's loving, romantic , honest, spontaneous ( I do a lot on a whim), very patient ( not that I take long to get ready:), and must have a great sense of humor- witty sarcasm is my forte ;) Tho I eventually would like to be in a committed relationship, I'm not looking to rush into it (my biological clock's not winding down just yet:) So I'm looking for someone I can build a great friendship with, as that I believe is the core of any long lasting relationship, we'll see where it goes from there...Must be someone with similar (compatible) interests and goals in life (must aspire to always do better and actually work towards it)... There's a lot to know about me and I would love to share with you so feel free to send me a msg... And let's see where it goes
