This Saturday starts the Gator hunting season down here.
Anyone wants to go my buddy has an open slot. He gets a permit every year.
NOOOO I am NOTTTT going.
They hunt at night.
Take a float. Attach large hook with the deadist stinkinist chickin, man I mean rot and stink too the hook. Large hook.
Sit in boat, drink beverage of your choice. Usually malts.
Float goes under, follow float. Grab float and hang the frig on.
Like the old Whaling days. Gator tows boat till tired. Grown men sober up rather quickly.
Now the fun part. Take a bow, my buddy has a 180lb crossbow. Shoot Gator with bow.
Or a baseball bat too the head, or bang stick. No guns.
Mr. Gator is now really really pissed. Yup. Pissed.
Pull Mr. Gator too boat. Now the fun part.
Legally?? the Gator must have it's mouth secure, before the final whack to the noodle.
Like a noose around it's head then duct tape.
Do "NOT" fall overboard at this point. You will find out real quick those buddies you have in the boat are really not Rambo.
Mr. Gator is secure, then the coup de gra.
Pull Mr. Gator in the boat. Think he is dead. Haaa haaaa. Yah rite.
The pro trappers here put a 10ft. dead Gator in there freezer. Next morning the old man opened the freezer and Mr. gator came at him with a piss load of energy.
Bag em tag em and off to the processor.
Hide and Gator meat prices are down here due too the economy.
I am going to hook up with this girl who "processes Gators" who sells Gator heads, hides etc.
My buddy gives me all I want too eat. Real good meat.
Recipe: Cut in one inch squares. Beat the meat like veal to tenderize. Flour or corn meal breading. Salt pepper to taste.
Fry in oil. Do not overcook. Cook like it was fish. Overcooking, which most restaurants do, causes it to be tough.
Sniper69 was here and we had a feast. He loved it. He is kinda fat anyway so he liked everything I fed him.
Ptannjr also liked it. He is kinda big so I ain't gonna call him fatso.
Anyone interested let me know and I will check with her on prices, availability on heads and hides.
Market price after hunting season. More to follow. If they make it back to shore.

LAKE FOREST, Calif. — The Southern California church headed by popular evangelical Pastor Rick Warren said his 27-year-old son committed suicide on Saturday.
Warren's Saddleback Valley Community Church near Los Angeles said in a statement that Matthew Warren had struggled with mental illness and deep depression.
"Matthew was an incredibly kind, gentle and compassionate young man whose sweet spirit was encouragement and comfort to many," the church's statement said. "Unfortunately, he also suffered from mental illness resulting in deep depression and suicidal thoughts. Despite the best health care available, this was an illness that was never fully controlled and the emotional pain resulted in his decision to take his life."
Warren, the author of the multimillion-selling book "The Purpose Driven Life," said in an email to church staff that he and his wife had enjoyed a fun Friday evening with their son. But Matthew Warren took his life Saturday after "a momentary wave of despair at his home."
Over the years, Matthew Warren had been treated by America's best doctors, medication, counselors and prayers for healing, Warren said.
"You who watched Matthew grow up knew he was an incredibly kind, gentle and compassionate man," he wrote. "He had a brilliant intellect and a gift for sensing who was most in pain or most uncomfortable in a room. He'd then make a beeline to that person to engage and encourage them."
Saddleback's website says that about 20,000 people attend weekend services at the Orange County church.
In 2008, the church sponsored a presidential forum with Barack Obama and Republican John McCain. Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney had been invited to a similar forum last fall, but Warren canceled it, saying the campaign had become too uncivil.
Warren was named the top newsmaker of the year for 2009 by the Religion Newswriters Association, gaining attention with his invocation at Obama's first inauguration and comments in the aftermath of California's Proposition 8, which overturned gay marriage.
Warren also has made headlines for his fundraising abilities, raking in more than $2.4 million after making a plea for donations in 2010 to fill a $900,000 deficit at his Southern California megachurch.
The evangelical pastor made similar pleas after Hurricane Katrina and the 2004 Asian tsunami, raising $1.7 million and $1.6 million from Saddleback parishioners.

CIA corners the market on surplus weaponsBy Bruce Edwards
STAFF WRITER | February 07,2013Century International Arms didnt start out buying and selling surplus weapons that governments were happy to unload for a price.
The company that morphed into North Americas largest surplus firearms dealer started off innocently enough selling used office equipment. In 1961, William Sucher was selling used office equipment in Montreal when, as the story goes, one of his customers traded him a few military rifles for office equipment.
The deal was so profitable that Sucher, with the help of his brother-in-law Manny Weigensberg, never looked back and turned their sights on rounding up surplus weapons from around the world. Sucher and Weigensberg passed away some time ago.
According to the Secretary of States office, the company is now owned by four members of the Sucher family.
The company operates a manufacturing and distribution facility in the Arrowhead Industrial Park in Georgia with its corporate headquarters in Delray Beach, Fla.
In addition to surplus weapons, Century also sells new firearms, knives, swords, ammunition, scopes and accessories.
The company is licensed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives as a manufacturer and importer of firearms and destructive devices.
Tim Smith, executive director of the Franklin County Industrial Development Corp., said the company keeps to itself.
We do not have much contact with them, Smith said. Weve tried but not with a lot of luck.
Smith said at one time Century was located in a former railroad building in St. Albans. He said the company consolidated its operations several years ago to a 100,000-square-foot building in a private industrial park in Georgia.
Since the school shootings in Connecticut, the focus of gun control advocates has been to ban the sale of military-style semiautomatic weapons and large capacity magazines.
The Senate Judiciary Committee is considering legislation to curb gun violence, including restrictions on military style semiautomatic weapons and large magazines or clips. Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., is the the committes chairman.
Leahy, Sen. Bernard Sanders, I-Vt.,and Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt., were asked whether they were troubled, especially in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings, that the largest distributor of semiautomatic weapons in the country is doing business in Vermont.
They issued a joint statement saying that the company has a right to conduct business as long as its in compliance with the law.
They are engaged in a lawful business just as others are that are involved in firearms commerce, employing many Vermonters, the emailed statement read. Like all federal firearms licensees, they are subject to oversight by several federal agencies, including the State Department and ATF, and that is appropriate. Congress currently is considering possible changes to address gun violence, and we welcome this debate. And if Congress approves new steps to address gun violence, we are confident that Vermont businesses would comply with them.
Company officials declined to be interviewed for this story but Brady Toensing, a lawyer who represents the company, provided emailed answers to several questions submitted by the Rutland Herald.
Toensings response was that the company supports proposals that can prevent future tragedies but not restrictions on the sale of firearms.
Common sense dictates the focus should be on tackling the problem of the nations woefully inadequate mental health system and creating a legal structure and reporting system that would keep firearms out of the hands of mentally unstable people, said Toensing, a partner in the Washington, D.C., law firm of diGenova & Toensing.
But an effective solution like this appears to be too difficult of a challenge in the current atmosphere in Washington, he added. Instead, the focus has been on draconian and ineffective proposals that will deprive law-abiding citizens of their constitutional rights without solving the problem or diminishing the likelihood of future tragedies.
Century International Arms has kept a low profile over the years but its name surfaces in the news from time to time. During the 1980s, Centurys guns were traced to the Contras in Nicaragua. In 1998, Century was involved in a dispute with a Russian arms supplier over the purchase of carbines and revolvers.
Century refused payment accusing the Russian company of selling substandard weapons. However, according to news reports, The International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce in Zurich awarded the Russian company $2.5 million.
In 2008, Century acquired surplus World War II weapons that the U.S. government had donated to Guatemala, with the provision that Guatemala could not transfer or sell the firearms without the OK of the U.S. Government, according to a 2011 story in The Palm Beach Post. The Post, citing cables obtained from WikiLeaks, reported that Century acquired the surplus arms from Guatemala without U.S. approval with the help of an Israeli middleman.
More recently, Centurys semiautomatic version of the WASR-10, a Romanian version of the legendary AK-47, have been smuggled into Mexico through straw buyers, ending up in the hands of drug gangs, The Center for Public Integrity reported in 2011.
But Toensing defended the companys record saying it complies with all federal, state and local laws and does not sell firearms to Mexico.
Century ships firearms to licensed firearms dealers in the United States and expects those firearms will be sold in compliance with the law, he said. U.S. law strictly forbids the selling or transfer of firearms to anyone in Mexico without an approval from the U.S. Department of State and the Government of Mexico. Century also expects that individuals who break these laws will be found, prosecuted and punished.
The company declined to release any sales figures or the percentage of semiautomatic weapons sales.
(According to the federal figures, 38,048 Romanian rifles were imported into the U.S. in 2011 by all firearms dealers. Brazil was the largest supplier of rifles to the U.S. with imports totalling 381,097)
Toensing pointed out that the company is a significant economic contributor to the economy of Franklin County, employing nearly 200 people, plus supporting jobs doing business with its Vermont vendors.
In all, Century contributes more than 11 million dollars a year to the economy of Vermont in wages and benefits, he said. Additionally, Century has paid almost $10 million in the last two years in excise taxes that are used by the federal government to restore, conserve, and manage wildlife habitat.

Ways to get involved in promoting the Victorious Gospel
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
That's what Paul said to answer the question of the Phillipian Jailer, "Sirs, what must I DO to be saved?"Paul replied, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved - you and your family""trust in, adhere to, rely on"
I think we have been saved since the foundation of the earth (Eph. 1:4-5). We, along with everyone else just didn't, or don't, understand this yet. We are going to be saved in spite of ourselves because it was in the plan of God before he even created us.Here is why we do good works. (Eph. 2:10) For we are his workmanship, CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS UNTO GOOD WORKS, which God HATH BEFORE ORDAINED that we should walk in them.CHB
Exactly Deena. Having a "requirement" that must be met such as "going forward" "Signing a declaration of faith card" "getting baptized" are all "works" which none of us are saved by. There is nothing wrong with them but these things should be done as a result of being saved - not as a "step" to salvation. How often I heard "Once saved, always saved, and when I was nine years old I went forward and gave Jesus my heart and was baptized... so you can't judge me for having this adulterous affair. The bible says we aren't under the law anymore and all things are lawful so you can't tell me it's wrong."This woman was justifying her life on the acts(works) of an emotional nine-year old. My, how are attitude changes when puberty hits us!CHB-we are in agreement so much it's almost like we both keep basing our thoughts on what the one same book says
EW: I hate that word "if". It has tortured me. The word is so conditional, and when it is attached to my God's standards it is terrible. I don't know what to do with it. I know I am not capable to keep myself good/holy etc, so the "if" part feels like a trap door. Look out--you are only safe if...

Two years ago, a surprising post from Chromium's blog announced that Google Chrome will drop support for H.264 HTML5 videos. "Though H.264 plays an important role in video, as our goal is to enable open innovation, support for the codec will be removed and our resources directed towards completely open codec technologies."
Nothing happened since then, so I assume that Google changed its mind. Mostly likely, Google hoped that this announcement will increase WebM's adoption, but that was wrong. Other than YouTube, few other sites converted their videos to WebM. Why spend time and money to convert videos when they could simply use a Flash player?
After all, Adobe Flash doesn't support WebM and that's the second broken promise: "As Kevin Lynch mentioned today at Google I/O, we are excited to include the VP8 video codec in Flash Player in an upcoming release, which will help provide users with seamless access to high quality video content on all of their Internet-connected devices," announced a blog post from 2010.
Adobe didn't support the VP8 codec, so Flash is still mostly H.264-only. And so are Internet Explorer, Safari, iOS, Windows Phone. WebM is mostly non-existent in the mobile space and that's where the future lies. Even if Android 2.3+ supports WebM, there aren't many devices with hardware acceleration for WebM.
Now Firefox's Windows nightly builds allow you to play H.264 HTML5 videos using the Windows Media Foundation backend. "That means if you're using a Windows computer that already has a licensed H.264 decoder installed, you'll be able to enjoy HTML5 video that's been encoded using MPEG LA's codec."
That means in the near future the most important browsers will support H.264 videos natively and WebM will matter even less. There's a VP8 successor that's more efficient, there's WebP for images and there's the WebRTC API for native video chat apps, but H.264 will continue to dominate web video. Those broken promises just made it more obvious.

These web pages are a source of information for those interested in the climate of the UK. The pages are updated each month to reflect the latest month's weather across the UK. A timetable for publication of the climate summaries is available below.
Timing of summaries and statistics
Those interested in climate change and predictions of future climates should also visit the Climate Change pages.
At the start of June an intense low pressure system brought rain and unseasonably strong winds to the UK. After this, the month was typified by rather quiet weather generally; after a spell of fine, settled weather there was rain or showers from time to time, and more unsettled conditions over Scotland, although generally much drier further south. Much of June was rather cool in an often westerly or north-westerly flow, but it became very warm at the end of the month.
The provisional UK mean temperature was 12.6 °C, which is 0.4 °C below the 1981-2010 long-term average. It was coldest relative to average in northern and western areas. Rainfall was above average over the northern and western two-thirds of Scotland, but England, Wales and Northern Ireland were drier than average. Parts of the London area and East Anglia were especially dry with less than a third of average rainfall in some places. The overall UK rainfall total was 75% of average. It was a sunny month for much of the UK except Scotland. The UK overall received 116% of average sunshine hours and this was the sixth month out of the last seven to be sunnier than average for the UK.
The UK monthly extremes were as follows: a maximum temperature of 32.5 °C was recorded at Heathrow (Greater London) on the 30th. This occurred shortly before 0900 GMT on 1st July at the end of the standard 0900 to 0900 GMT observing period for the last day of the month during a developing heat-wave. A minimum temperature of -1.9 °C was recorded at Katesbridge (County Down) on the 9th and also at Resallach (Sutherland) on the 14th. In the 24 hours ending at 0900 GMT on the 2nd, 64.0 mm of rain fell at Rest and Be Thankful (Argyll). A wind gust of 78 mph was recorded at Capel Curig (Gwynedd) on the 1st.

Camp will include hayrides, crafts and games. Each child will be making their own tie-dyed item to take home, as well as bird feeders, lawn art and much more.
Rosenbloom's Farm prides itself on providing a safe and wholesome environment. All animals are part of the family, and are up to date on shots and vet visits. The farm also encourages hand washing and the use of hand sanitizer. Parents are also welcome to visit at any time–but be warned–you may be put to work!
Camp groups are intentionally kept small for maximum supervision, interaction and the ability to individualize the program, and groups fill up quickly, so early registration is advised. Call or see website for dates, fees, and to register.

Party Dresses
It's easy to stand out in a crowd with a prom dress made by Jovani. No matter which design you choose, you will look elegant, beautiful and fashionable. It's easy to decide where to buy your fabulous dress, the toughest choice you have now, is deciding which dress to buy!
Before you head into one of our stores, think about what type of dress you want first. What type of dress will show off your body type and your best assets? Do you look best in long, flowing gowns or short, fitted dresses that show off your legs? Next, what color prom dress will show off your skin tone and hair? Will it be the classic black or a modern color that shocks? Lastly, you need a party dress that will show off your personality. Think feathers if you're fun and frisky, an open mid-drift if you are daring and free or bejeweled with a low neckline if you are sophisticated and high class.
After you picture what will look best on you, you can head down to the nearest Jovani retailer to try it on! Chances are you are purchasing this dress for a once in lifetime event, make it count.
Party Dresses

According to the fashion police, long dresses are out, and legs are in!

The fun, new hemline allows you to comfortably show off your best assets while dancing the night away. The most recent collection is complete with both exciting and understated details for the personal preference of any style. For a daring look, short party dresses are embellished with studs, cut-outs and fun prints for an outgoing ensemble with a rocker edge.

Bioelements At-A-Glance
Strengths: Nothing of note beyond an elegantly formulated eye cream and one benzoyl peroxide product.
Weaknesses: Expensive; consistent use of irritating essential oils with no established benefit for skin; problematic anti-acne products, scrubs, and sunscreens.
Bioelements is a spa-and-salon sold skin-care line that was founded in 1991 by makeup artist turned aesthetician, Barbara Salomone. An interview with Salomone in the January/February 2006 issue of Renew magazine had statements from her indicating that aestheticians will soon be recognized as true skin-care professionals and her advice to newcomers is to get as much education as you can. To that end, Bioelements has seven education centers across the United States. However, if they're teaching established and upcoming aestheticians about Bioelements products, we are worried. Few spa lines subject skin to the irritating ingredients dispersed through well over half of the products this line offers. If that isn't bad enough, Bioelements ignores some fundamental aspects of skin care. That means no well-formulated AHA or BHA products (it's not a good formula if it subjects skin to needless irritation), and sunscreens rated below the standard SPF 15 recommendation (sun protection products are vastly outnumbered in this line by moisturizers and serums), not to mention the need to keep light- and air-sensitive ingredients, such as retinol, stable.
Company literature states that at Bioelements "We mean what we say. No gimmicks, no hype, and no false promises. We're professional skin care experts dedicated to keeping skin clean, clear, calm, and younger-looking." That sounds great but barely a word of it is true. This line definitely has its share of hype and false promises, from claiming that probiotics are a youth elixir, to regular references to what the line refers to as "Bioelements Adaptogens" and aromatherapist oils.

The defender's good form this season has earned a deal which ties him to the club until the summer of 2016.
His previous contract was due to expire at the end of the current campaign.
"I am delighted," O'Brien told West Ham's website. "It's for three-and-a-half years so hopefully I'll have plenty more good times with the club."
Free-transfer O'Brien has established himself as a first-team regular since becoming one of Sam Allardyce's first signings at the Boleyn Ground in July 2011.
The Republic of Ireland international, who previously worked with Allardyce at Bolton, has scored twice in 16 Premier League appearances this term.

More Black Women Should Date Outside Of Their Race…
….According to Regina King's blog on Vibe.com. Here's an excerpt and my response:
Of all groups of people, Black women are the least likely group of women that will date outside of their race. When you have everyone else who is willing to explore but a Black woman is like, "I want me a brother," well, if the brothers are out and they're open to date everybody and the majority of Black women aren't willing to look twice when a man outside of their race is sending them messages, then that makes our percentage rate lower and the chances of finding love, because we're only looking in one specific place for finding love—with Black men.
I have about five Black friends who date outside of their race. But all the other friends of mine, it's either they vocally say that they won't or every time an opportunity comes up for them to date outside of their race, there's some excuse why it's not going to work.
Black women need to open up. A lot of Black women still carry a lot of pain when they see Black men with women who aren't Black and that's really unfortunate that that could make us so upset. It has to do with self esteem. With women on a whole, what a man thinks about us means so much to us. Does he think my hair is right? Does he think I look right? Does he think my ass is big enough? Does he think my titties are big enough? And 9 chances out of 10, most men don't even give a f*ck. And the men that do that are really paying attention that hard to your ass or titties or exterior stuff, that's probably not the best person for you anyway. One of my friends was asking me if I would set him up with one of my friends and I asked him, "What do you like in a woman?" And his first thing was "exotic." I'm like, "What the hell does that mean? Read More
When I first came to Miami, I had dinner with friends who told me "Black men don't date black women here". At the time I didn't feel any kind of way about what they said because I'm an equal opportunity dater. I don't have a laundry list of wants like Chilli and although I do love black men, it's definitely not a priority on my list.
I believe there is way too much unnecessary tension between black men and women nowadays and even more so between the "successful" black man and woman. He's blaming her "anger and bitterness" on his decision to flock to other races while she's blaming her "anger and bitterness" on years of dealing with his "infidelities & mistreatment". Her thought process is "I can do bad by myself" but she's not as open to date outside of her race as the black man is, so her chances that she will end up by herself are greater. Instead of tackling the issue at hand, black men (and some black women) are not only running to date other races, but they are also bad mouthing each other to other races. (i.e He says "Black women are too uptight & have attitudes", She says "Black men are dogs, they'll never be faithful and they are abusive") It's kind of sad if you think about it.
From the outside looking in, our culture is becoming a mess. The number of kids being raised in two-parent black households are decreasing by the day but I'm not sure how we will ever begin to fix this. …And I don't know if 50,000 programs, blog entries, articles and television specials on "Why So Many Successful Black Women Have Never Been Married" is the solution either
