God and natural disasters
By Tom Holmes
Some people give credit to or blame God for everything that happens in life. Others see God as taking a more hands off approach. Either way there are theological problems. It usually boils down to the theodicy problem. How can God be all powerful and loving at the same time when we witness such human suffering?
God and Natural Disasters" Focus of Free Ecumenical Roundtable Public Lecture
On Friday, April 27, 2012, the Ecumenical Roundtable on Science, Technology and the Church will host a presentation from Rev. Dr. Terence E. Fretheim on the topic of "God and Natural Disasters."

Utah Regent Quits Over Legislative Interference
April 14, 2010
Anthony Morgan has resigned from the Utah Board of Regents to object to legislative action authorizing a new engineering program at Weber State University that did not receive approval from the regents, as state procedures would normally require, The Salt Lake Tribune required. "If local legislative interests are not restrained, either by self discipline or by legislative leadership or by you, we could easily have a higher education system where the establishment and distribution of academic programs is designed by local political interests rather than academic and economic criteria," he said in his resignation letter.

Driving One's Own Audio Device
The device driver interface offers other device methods in addition to the open/close and read/write pairs. While none of them is critical to device operation, I usually add a few lines of code to implement select and lseek. The former is needed by those programs which multiplex several input/output channels or use non-blocking operations to read and write data. Its role is quite needed if you run real programs, and the implementation is straightforward enough that I won't show it here. The implementation of lseek, on the other hand, consists of the one line return -ESPIPE; and is meant to tell any program that tries to lseek the device that this "is a pipe" (reported to user space as "Illegal seek").
My aversion to computer sound makes me a novice in the field, and I really don't know anything about programs that play audio, or sites where audio files can be retrieved. Although Linus Torvalds offered an interesting "I pronounce Linux as Linux", the file was not enough to test my device, and I needed to generate some audio data. The result is the sad distribution includes a program that plays sinusoidal waves, one that plays square waves and a not-so-good piano implementation. These tools work with any /dev/audio you happen to run and can be fun to play with, especially if you have a scope near your Linux box.
All code for the sad program is available by anonymous download in the file ftp.linuxjournal.com/pub/lj/listings/issue53/2997.tgz.

I saw part of the Pregnancy Pact. Those girls were so bold and wanted to get pregnant so bad. I was reading online about a girl who was 13 and couldnt tell who the father was because she was having sex with 4 different guys. I think that was just crazy. I think sex is great and is meant to happen in a relationship with one person not 4 different guys. It must be that people get confused because sex feels so good and they dont realize how important the emotional side of sex is.

I don't know why so many girls that are our age are so pressured to have sex. Its crazy! Its crazy that ssssoooo many young girls are getting pregnant. Have you ever seen the pregnancy pact? Where all those girls get pregnant that was based on a true story! It was all over the news. I think you should wait atleast until you are an adult with agood job. Babies cost alot of money. Is it even worth that ten minutes. Is it?

Document's impact on Utah was minimal, historian says

This is a Great Movie!!! Only a few "raspy" words occurr in the script.
I'm sure the "real world" of then, in the mid 1860's of Civil
War era, actually had much more
foul language than the movie depicted.
The movie Does focus on the passing of the 13th Ammendment.
A Great Movie!! Just saw it on New Year's Day in the late afternoon, and a number of people were commenting after the movie was over, -- that the politicians of today are just like those of the 1860's.
This was just hours before the US House of today finally voted on the "Fiscal Cliff" issue and were still debating the merits of what the politicians of today threw together at the "last minutes and hours", (just two days ago) as Midnight approached.
Again, A Superb Movie!!!
Will probably win many awards!!!

VietNamNet Bridge - Although the Lunar New Year 2013 is drawing near, the cell phone buying energy remains mild, contrary to expectation of retailers. Dinh Anh Huan, sales director of the retail chain Thegioididong.com, said mobile phone sales had picked up slightly, estimated at 20%, versus a growth of 40% last year. At this time in previous years, the buying energy was very strong, but it seems to cool down this year. This suggests consumers are tightening their purse strings under the impact of economic downturn, said Huan. The latest statistics of Thegioididong.com show that its cell phone sales fell slightly in December last year and the sales volumes and revenues of the other months were almost the same, without any sudden growth. On average, the retail chain sold around 300,000 cell phones per month. Other mobile phone retailers like Mai Nguyen, FPT Shop, Vien Thong A and Viettel Smart also record modest growth in purchasing power. Smartphones with reasonable … [Read more...]
Thua Thien-Hue plans to attract VND2.9 tril. investment into IPs The central province of Thua Thien-Hue has planned to lure VND2.9 trillion worth of investment in its industrial parks (IPs) this year. This year, enterprises in IPs are expected to disburse nearly VND 2,890 billion and employ some new 3,000 people (up 21.9% against last year).

Asiana Airlines to own 50% of Kumho Asiana Plaza A 50% stake in the commercial center and hotel complex Kumho Asiana Plaza Saigon in HCMC will be acquired by Asiana Airlines, said Won Il Woo, president and CEO of Kumho Engineering & Construction.

He asked about the necessary procedures under Vietnamese law for this deal. "We don't know if we have to report to the central agencies in Hanoi, or if reporting to HCMC is enough," he wondered. In response, Vice Chairman Ha said the municipal government would review the project document next week and then give appropriate guidelines. "Normally, the authorities that license a project will handle changes in that project. However, when it comes to real estate, there are complicated regulations, so a careful review … [Read more...]

Coal industry suffers $25 million in damages after floods in Quang Ninh
VietNamNet Bridge – A representative of the Vietnam Coal and Mineral Industries Group (Vinacomin) said on Wednesday that the torrential rains in Quang Ninh, Vietnam's kingdom of coal, caused losses of about VND500 billion (nearly $25 million) for the group. Most of the coal mining firms have halted production. Related news Image: Quang Ninh people seach for coal in flooded stream Heavy rains flooded coal mines of many companies like Quang Hanh, Ha Lam, Mong Duong, and 790, and damaged coal railways in Cua Ong and Hon Gai. Ha Lam Coal Company lost about 7,000 tons clean coal, which was washed away to streams and the sea. Two coal mines of Ha Tu Coal Company were completely submerged. Roads from Ha Lam and Ha Tu coal companies to the port of Lang Khanh were eroded.

How did Vietnam football benefit from Man City's tour?
VietNamNet Bridge – Manchester City was highly paid by the Vietnamese partner and had an opportunity to advertise its name when it visited Vietnam. How did this benefit Vietnam? The trip to Vietnam of Man City will certainly help promote the England team's image in Vietnam and increase the number of Vietnamese fans. The more Vietnamese fans they have, the more royalties the club can get from the TV rights of the English Premier League. One of the principles of sharing TV royalties of English football clubs is the direct broadcasting of their matches on pay television channels each season. TV broadcasters will air the matches viewers are interested in and the more fans FCs have, the more money they will get. Thus, Man City benefits a great deal from its trip to Vietnam. On the side of the Vietnamese partner, Saigon Hanoi Bank (SHB), SHB's boss Do Quang Hien said Man City's tour to Vietnam was not completely flawless, but bringing Man City to Vietnam was … [Read more...]
Public fear MOET education reform will demotivate students

Le Thi Hoang Vy from Ba Diem High School said: "It would be unfair for students not to show the graduation grade and training mode on diploma." "The ability of students must be shown on a diploma as recognition of their achievements," she said.

Hanoi's population increases by 200,000 per year
VietNamNet Bridge – The Hanoi Department of Population and Family Planning has said that each year the city's population increases by about 200,000 people, equivalent to the population of a large district. Of the new population, about 120,000 are newborn children and the rest are migrants. The department's director, Mr. Ta Quang Huy, said the increase of population posed a difficult problem for the future social and economic development of the capital city. Hanoi's population is the second largest in Vietnam, only behind HCM City. Notably, gender imbalance at birth and the number of families having the third child are on the rise. The number of women entering reproductive age in the city is over two times higher than the number of women out of childbearing age. The high number of migrants to Hanoi is also a big problem. Huy said that the number of couples giving birth to their third child is increasing because the current law does not have any sanction on … [Read more...]
Submarine inventor: Vietnamese sub fleet will keep pace with Seventh Fleet
VietNamNet Bridge - Phan Boi Tran, Yet Kieu submarine inventor, estimates that it will take VND2 billion, or $100,000, to create equipment powerful enough to sink a destroyer worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Phan Boi Tran is a composite material expert who has become famous in Vietnam and Asia after creating the Yet Kieu submarine, which has been put into commercial development with tens of products exported to Malaysia. In the latest news, Tran is going to leave for Thailand where he will make 300 subs to fulfill an order placed by a Thai partner.

The complex, estimated to cost VND2 billion, would comprise one submarine, two torpedoes and the third modular system. "The 6-meter submarine and the two torpedoes will serve as an offensive weapon, while module No 3 will give logistics support," he … [Read more...]
Breeding insects for export, a new industry for VN
VietNamNet Bridge - The most difficult procedures in insect export is asking for the certificate of quality, size and the certificate of origin for insects. After nearly ten years breeding crickets, Mr. Truong Thanh Dung has developed a cricket farm in Duc Lap Thuong commune, Duc Hoa district, Long An province. Dung said that his farm supplies the domestic market with 5-6 tons of crickets each month, priced VND100,000/kg (nearly $5). "It is not difficult to raise crickets. A basket of crickets yields 50-60 kilos of commercial crickets after 40 days," he said. According to Dung, both Vietnamese and foreigners like dishes processed from insects. His farm is looking for partners to export frozen crickets to the regional market. Insects are favored by many countries in the region and the world because insects are rich in protein and minerals beneficial to the human body. Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar have developed the insect breeding industry for domestic needs and export. In … [Read more...]

Image: Quang Ninh people seach for coal in flooded stream
VietNamNet Bridge – Heaving rains and floods in Quang Ninh province have washed away coal supplies into local streams, where people are risking their lives to find it. Hundreds of people in Cam Son and Cam Phu communes in Cam Pha city, Quang Ninh province, have headed to B5-12 stream to collect coal after recent major flooding washed millions of cubic meters of coal out of the storage facilities of local coal companies. Over the last three days, 600 to 800 millimeters of rain has fallen in the Quang Ninh area, collapsing houses and triggering landslides. Eighteen people have died and six are missing. Despite warnings from Cam Pha city authorities, about 100 people have been hunting for coal. The stream is so deep that they must dive deep into the black water to collect it. They are very much at risk from potential fatal injury from debris in the stream. Yet they continue, with some hiring excavators and trucks to extract the coal and take it home. Some people have rented … [Read more...]
Animal husbandry association requests anti-dumping investigation of US chicken
VietNamNet Bridge – The Southeast Region Livestock Association has asked the Prime Minister, the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development to conduct anti-dumping investigation against imported US chicken thighs. The Association said that it had sent its staff to America to collect data on the prices of chicken and chicken products (legs, wings, breast ...) in the US market. The average price for whole chickens at US supermarkets is VND200,000 ($9.5)/kg, but in Vietnam the price is only VND60,000-70,000 ($2.8-3.2)/chicken. Similarly, in the US the price for a kilo of chicken thighs is VND60,000-70,000/kg ($2.8-3.2), but in Vietnam it is only VND20,000/kg ($0.9). The association said that the price difference is abnormal. Chicken imports from the US are rising year on year and the price is getting cheaper, the association said. For example, the average price of US chicken thighs two years ago was at $1.2-1.5/kg but it was only … [Read more...]
Thai products flood Vietnam market
VietNamNet Bridge - Thai businesses have been quietly, step by step, conquering the Vietnamese market using a methodical and reasonable strategy. Vietnamese businesses cannot do anything but just watch as Thai products penetrate the home market. Thai products can be seen everywhere, gradually replacing cheap Chinese low-quality goods on supermarkets' shelves and at pavement shops. "In the past, Chinese motorbike accessories flooded the domestic market, but 70-80 percent of the products available in the market are from Thailand," said Hai, a distributor of Michelin tires, a Thai brand well known in Vietnam. Thai tycoons in recent years have been flocking to Vietnam, taking over a series of Vietnamese distribution chains. The move were described as a step to clear the way for Thai products to penetrate the home market. Thai BJC Group, for example, spent $876 million to take over Metro Cash & Carry Vietnam. Meanwhile, Thai Corporation International, a subsidiary of BJC, … [Read more...]
Russian destroyer Admiral Pantelev to visit Da Nang
VietNamNet Bridge - One of the leading destroyers in the world, Admiral Pantelev, and the two escorts of the Russian Pacific Ocean Fleet, will pay a three-day visit to the central city of Da Nang. The Da Nang Department of Information and Communication said the fleet of the Russian Navy includes destroyer Admiral Pantelev, tug-boat SB-522 and tanker Penhega, with 483 officers and sailors, led by Colonel A.V Potapov. The welcome ceremony will be organized on the morning of July 31, with the representatives of the Ministry of Defense, Navy High Command Region 3 and Da Nang authorities.

Local livestock association requests anti-dumping investigation of US chicken
VietNamNet Bridge – The Southeast Livestock Association has asked the Prime Minister, the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development to conduct anti-dumping investigation against imported US chicken thighs. The Association said that it had sent its staff to America to collect data on the prices of chicken and chicken products (legs, wings, breast ...) in the US market. The average price for whole chickens at US supermarkets is VND200,000 ($9.5)/kg, but in Vietnam the price is only VND60,000-70,000 ($2.8-3.2)/chicken. Similarly, in the US the price for a kilo of chicken thighs is VND60,000-70,000/kg ($2.8-3.2), but in Vietnam it is only VND20,000/kg ($0.9). The association said that the price difference is abnormal. Chicken imports from the US are rising year on year and the price is getting cheaper, the association said. For example, the average price of US chicken thighs two years ago was at $1.2-1.5/kg but it was only … [Read more...]
Singer Le Quyen fined for allowing her son to urinate in a sick bag
VietNamNet Bridge – Well-known singer Le Quyen, 34, and his husband will have to pay VND4 million (nearly $200) fine each to allow their son to urinate in a sick bag on a flight of the national carrier Vietnam Airlines on July 16, according to a decision of the inspectorate of the Civil Aviation Administration of Vietnam (CAAV). Although the face was hidden many people quickly realized that it was the singer in the photo. According to the CAAV, on the flight VN 240 from Saigon to Hanoi on July 16, when the plane was reducing altitude for landing at the Noi Bai Airport, the stewardess informed passengers of activities for safety, including the limitations on the use of the restrooms. However, singer Le Quyen and her husband allowed their 4-year-old son to urinate into a sick bag, causing a 'splatter' of urine to hit the interior. As reported by the chief flight attendant, when she was checking the cabin to prepare for the landing, when the plane was close to 10,000 feet of … [Read more...]
Hanoi to have 19 new street names
VietNamNet Bridge – Two road sections in Ha Noi's Tay Ho District will be named after two of Viet Nam's famous artists following a decision signed by the Chairman of the city's People's Committee, Nguyen The Thao, on Monday. Under decision No 3517/QD-UBND, naming 19 new roads and changing the length of three streets, a 2.2-km long section along the West Lake from the end of Thanh Nien Street to Trich Sai Street will be named after the well-known writer and composer, Nguyen Dinh Thi (1924-2003). Thi belonged to the generation of artists who participated in defeating the French in the 1950s. His works included essays on philosophy, poetry, music and drama. Another 900-metre-long section, running from number 612 Lac Long Quan Street to the intersection of Au Co Street with the city dyke, will be named after the famous composer, musician, songwriter, painter and poet Trinh Cong Son (1939-2001). He is widely considered one of salient figures of modern Vietnamese music and wrote … [Read more...]
Vietnamese stock market: favorable conditions converge
VietNamNet Bridge - All the favorable conditions for the stock market to prosper can be seen at this moment: open policies, the strong recovery of the national economy, interest of international investors in Vietnamese stocks, and strong capital flow to frontier markets. Never before has the Ministry of Finance (MOF) paid so much attention to the stock market as it is doing now. Chair of the State Securities Commission (SSC) Vu Bang said the ministry has meetings every day with the commission to discuss issues relating to the legal framework, especially after Decree No 60 on lifting the ceiling for foreign ownership ratio was promulgated. The Prime Minister's Decision No 55 dated in 2009 stipulated that foreign investors must not hold more than 49 percent of the chartered capital in one Vietnamese listed enterprise. Bang said the Vietnamese officials' meetings with the US investors in early July brought outcomes better than expected by the government and ministries. … [Read more...]
MOIT: Coal-run thermal power plants still only choice in Vietnam
VietNamNet Bridge - Vietnam will continue developing coal-run thermal power plants in the upcoming years despite the anticipated impact on the environment, as no better solution has been found. Hoang Thanh Binh from Green ID, which has just conducted a survey on the coal-run thermal power plants' influence on the environment, said the "influences are really serious". The survey has found that greenhouse gas emissions from the plants from 2014 to 2022 are expected to account for 63 percent of total greenhouse gas emissions from thermal power plants. The plants will also affect the ecosystem, agricultural production, construction works and people's health. The plants will produce a huge volume of slag, estimated at 14.8 million tons a year from 2020, while the figure would be 29.1 million tons from 2030. Meanwhile, Tran Dinh Sinh, deputy director of Green ID, quoting a Harvard University's report as saying that 3.2 million people died young because of the … [Read more...]

When I was a youth (pre-1978), a magazine article about the Church hit the newsstands in Washington D.C., and we, local members, were ecstatic with what we considered great coverage of the Church. So I was very surprised at the negative reaction of the missionaries in our ward. It seems that the article had a few negative things to say that we thought were minor (and accurate), and the missionaries felt were major derogatory statements that put the Church in a bad light. While the situation isn't the same, I read a similar reaction yesterday, objecting to the mention... Read more »

Ravell Call, Ravell Call, Deseret News
Public works officials in Salt Lake County learned something interesting last year on the way to the landfill — people are more than willing to take advantage of opportunities to recycle their garbage, and that is good news for both the environment and the county's financial picture.
The county switched from a schedule of picking up recyclables every other week to a weekly pickup, and that has resulted in a noticeable increase in the amount of material sent to recycling facilities.
The increase means less tonnage left in landfills, translating to a significant economic benefit. The county pays about $26 a ton to deposit garbage in a landfill, while it receives about $20 a ton for materials that can be recycled. Last year, the county says it experienced a 10 percent increase in recycling compared to garbage collection.
Broken down, this means the 20,000 tons sent to recyclers instead of the landfill reduced overall collection costs by nearly $1 million, certainly helping to validate the decision to spend the money to double the number of scheduled pickups for paper, plastic and other recyclables.
The lesson here, applicable to other local governments, is in the category of "if you build it, they will come." In contrast to Salt Lake County, the city of Draper took over garbage collection in 2009 and switched recycling pickup from weekly to biweekly. Since then, Draper has seen a drop in the percentage of recyclable materials collected — a clear indication that availability and convenience is a key factor in whether people will make the effort to recycle.
That isn't the only factor. National surveys have shown that two-thirds of Americans want to do more to help the environment. Separating refuse into separate bins is a small but important act that helps satisfy that urge.
Despite the trend toward more recycling, the county estimates that about 59 percent of its garbage stream remains recyclable material. Were all of that to be collected separately, it would theoretically more than double the lifespan of the county's landfill.
The county understands that to propagate its nascent success, it needs to step up recycling awareness and education programs, which it will do in 2013. Salt Lake City also deserves praise for its recycling efforts; and its decision to initiate a glass-recycling program, which has yet to reach all neighborhoods.
Other governments should take heed. The basic formula for waste disposal is changing rapidly, and the chance to harvest greater amounts of recyclable material is an opportunity that shouldn't be left on the curb.

Showboat latest Atlantic City casino to close

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) -- The show is ending for the Showboat Casino Hotel in Atlantic City.

 The Mardi Gras-themed casino is shutting down at 4 p.m. Sunday after 27 years on the Boardwalk.

 Its owner, Caesars Entertainment, is closing the still-profitable Showboat to reduce the number of casinos in Atlantic City, which has been struggling with plunging revenue and increased competition. Caesars will still own three other casinos in Atlantic City.

 "The Showboat has been in business in Atlantic City for 27 years, and all of us at Caesars are extremely proud of the 16 years that our company operated the property," Caesars Entertainment CEO Gary Loveman wrote in a letter to employees. "I want to thank the Showboat Atlantic City team for their dedication, professionalism, and commitment to our guests - both throughout the years and especially over the past several weeks.

 "When considering the legacy of the Showboat, I have no doubt that it will be the pride and resilience of the property's team members that remain as indelible images in the hearts of our customers and colleagues for years to come," he wrote.

 More than 470 of the casino's 2,000-plus workers are transferring to other casinos the company owns here or in other states.

 Showboat is one of three Atlantic City casinos shutting down over the next two weeks. Revel will begin a two-day closing Monday, and Trump Plaza is closing Sept. 16.

 Atlantic City began the year with 12 casinos, but before summer is over, it will be down to eight. Nearly 8,000 casino workers will have lost their jobs.

Travel Blogs from Thessaloniki
A day at sea then we visit the Thessalonians
... s Greece's second biggest city. We are not sure what to expect - whether it would still be open with the Greek economy in disarray. Everything is fine, but we did remember to stock up with Euros before we left Istanbul just to be sure. Thessaloniki is just like a mini Athens but without the monuments. Didn't appear to be much there in the way of sightseeing or activities, so we decided to take a leisurely 6km walk/climb to the old ...
Last Days of Thessaloniki
... dedicated to St. Gregory Palamas and that's why I am here. His coffin was ceremoniously brought out of his above-ground tomb, within the church, and placed before the Bishop's throne on the right. His relics, encased in silver, slid out of the bottom of the coffin like a trundle bed, but protected by glass. Thousands streamed before the coffin throughout the entire service crossing themselves, some kneeling, others bowing, praying quietly ...

... Shabbat service in the same way. Their rabbi is from Morocco by way of Israel, and the congregation a mix of Jews whose families have always lived in Thessaloniki, Jews from other parts of Thessaly, Jews from other parts of Greece, and some recent imports from Israel.
I was invited to join the community for its meal after services, riding a Shabbat elevator to the 8th floor of their building and enjoying the beautiful brown eggs typical of ...

As we drive along, at random intervals, we see acres of solar panels set amidst the corn fields and Olive groves. They are on rotating swivels that move to follow the sun.

I told you guys I would tell you about shopping and orientation on my next blog, so that's exactly what I'm going to do.
Really, there isn't a whole lot from orientation. It's like freshman orientation for college all over again. We are all sitting at desks in a room together being told tips about living in the new place as well as how to prepare for school. Thursday and Friday were both full of this.

JERUSALEM, Israel -- Hamas' military wing executed 18 Palestinians Friday morning for allegedly collaborating with Israel.According to media reports, the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades carried out the public executions near police headquarters in Gaza City, with at least two Hamas-linked websites, al-Rai and al-Majd, posting stories on the event.
Three Palestinians were shot to death Thursday and seven others arrested on suspicion of collaborating with Israel, al-Majd reported, while an unspecified number of suspects were killed on August 6.
"Hamas is a death cult running Gaza," CBN News Terrorism Analyst Erick Stakelbeck said. Do U.S. and other world leaders seriously understand the threat of these terror groups like Hamas and ISIS? Click play for more. You can watch more from Stakelbeck on his weekly show, The Watchman.

Seven of the victims were lined up behind a mosque with bags over their heads and shot in front of hundreds of people.
The executions follow the IDF's successful targeting of three top Hamas commanders on Thursday.
It's still unconfirmed whether senior commander Mohammed Deif died with members of his family Wednesday night in a targeted strike on his home in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in Gaza City. Hamas claims Deif survived the attack, but it has not provided any proof that he's still alive.
The last week of July, more than 30 residents of Gaza were killed for alleged collaboration, Arutz Sheva reported.

Comments about 'Dave Ramsey says: In-laws and out of debt'
- Oldest first

I had a sibling, their spouce and their many kids move into my folks home to get
out of debt. They stayed for 5 years and only left when my parents came to their
senses and kicked them out. It was such a relief for my parents to finally be
grandparents and not co-parents and it was a relief to my dear in-law to have
their spouse to themselves and not have to make "4-adults involved"
It is rarely healthy or helpful to move in with parents.

Every situation is different. I agree that ditching the expensive cars is the first step for the couple being addressed. However, there are times when moving in with parents is logical. It can work, and sometimes is entirely necessary. Freeloading isn't appropriate, however. There should be some kind of exchange in the deal.

I just reviewed my car history and I have yet to own enough cars to reflect a $48,000 total expenditure let alone debt. I have owned some pretty nice cars (first car was a nice Monte Carlo and I currently have a nice Buick--several trucks before and since--11 total) along the way but am having serious trouble with my next car purchase because I don't want to have a higher car payment than mortgage payment. The car I dream about is more than all the houses I have owned combined and so will remain a dream forever.

Timberwolves reportedly set to bring back Flip Saunders, jettison David KAAAHN!
NBA.com reports that Flip is set to take Kahn's job.
The David KAAAAHN! era is over. Somewhere, Bill Simmons is weeping.
SEE ALSO: Ricky Rubio, facing recovery from devastating injury, displays wisdom beyond his years
The man reportedly set to replace Kahn as Timberwolves president of basketball operations is a familiar face -- former T-Wolves coach Flip Saunders.
Saunders, 58, has been negotiating a contract that, with option years, could run through the 2017-18 season and could be worth more than $9 million over the full five years, according to league sources who requested anonymity because they weren't authorized to discuss the hiring.
The move, which could become official as soon as next week, would end David Kahn's controversial tenure after four seasons and an 89-223 record during which the Timberwolves' failure to reach the playoffs stretched to nine consecutive seasons. Kahn's contract includes a team option for 2013-14 that will not be exercised.
Minnesota owner Glen Taylor and Saunders had been meeting in recent weeks, with Taylor confirming a report in March that Saunders was representing a group of prospective buyers interested in purchasing the franchise. Taylor, who turned 72 last week, has been seeking a minority investor or investors who eventually could take over majority control of the club.
Just last month, Saunders was offered and turned down the University of Minnesota men's basketball coach job. Meanwhile, Kahn will be remembered for the horrible Johnny Flynn and Wes Johnson draft picks , characterizing uber-bust Darko Milicic as "manna from heaven," and putting together one of the whitest rosters in NBA history .

Their debut album helped garner them the "Best World Music" title at the San Diego Music Awards in 2008, and "The Harvest," which contained fourteen new and original songs, debuted at the number 5 spot on the Billboard Reggae Charts. The tracks, written and produced by Tribal Seeds, were recorded and mixed by Alan Sanderson at Signature Sound Studios in San Diego, and mastered by Erik Lobson at Universal Mastering. On July 19, 2011, Tribal Seeds gave listeners a brand new EP entitled "Soundwaves," which peaked at number 2 on the Billboard Reggae Charts. The band notes that the album was inspired by their life experiences, being on tour, and their desire to inspire youth to raise their voices and seek a higher consciousness.
