Nice goggles but small

Comments about Anon Vintage Goggles:
These are really nice goggles and work pretty well with my Smith Holt helmet. Seem to be of good quality as well. The goggles are a little on the small side though. I'd say they would work best for someone with a small face.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Does it matter what religious beliefs other people have?(72 Posts)
I was a bit shocked to discover how many people in the USA doubt evolution. Do you think it matters what other people believe? Why (or why not)?
If you need the background, this was the data I was amazed at:-
Also, just to stir the pot, DH is literally a genius and is not convinced of evolution.
What does yr DH think is the best explanation CheerfulYank?
I didn't say there was an easy dividing line...the same sorts of arguments may be applied to other 'charities' eg private schools. Some organisations seem to be able to manage to make the distinction themselves.
Grimma, a bit upthread you said that churches should only be able to claim charity tax relief on aspects of what they do that are genuinely charitable an not 'self-serving.' Sounds fair in theory...but in reality, how do you decide which is which? Some examples:
A church has a pastoral visiting group. They go and see elderly members of the congregation, some of whom have Alzheimer's. They may well encourage them to go to the doctor, or even take them to appointments, or take them shopping. Their visits make it possible for elderly people to live in their homes for longer, and to avoid nursing homes. Is this charitable or self-serving?
A vicar has taken a funeral, and makes repeated visits to the widow of the deceased. Neither the deceased nor the widow go to church, but the visits give the widow the opportunity to talk and to work through her grief. Is this charitable or self-serving?
The church runs a community cafe, into which the local police officer pops every now and then to talk to people and help with any problems. It's a mixture of church and non-church people who go, and not a week goes by without someone being helped in some way or other. Charitable or self-serving?
The church runs a Bible study group. In the course of this group's study, people open up and share all sorts of problems and pains, and find peace and healing. Charitable or self-serving?
Someone with untreated mental health problems goes along to this group, and is persuaded lovingly to seek help, and is supported by the group for years, and in turn becomes very supportive of others.
Do you see the problem? These things happen in churches all the time. IMO whether something is 'charitable' or 'self-serving' depends primarily on the attitude of the person involved. But most of the time, the things that churches do can't be neatly categorised into one or the other. Ideally, everything a church does should be charitable as charity just means love. How do we assess that for tax purposes?
Most churches run on a shoestring (in the C of E anyway), so to limit what they do by taxing them more heavily would reduce what can be offered to the community (e.g. the midweek communion service has to stop because the church can't afford to heat and light the church any more. The needs that were met there have to be met elsewhere, nearly always at a greater expense to the taxpayer, e.g. counselling). So keeping churches doing what they can do to meet the needs of others is good for everyone, whether you're a churchgoer or not.
Newtonian laws, lower truth. Relativity, higher truth. Both are basically correct, but to be a "skeptic" of newton would be silly.
What does 'higher truth' even mean night? Is there a lower truth? Skepticism isn't having a closed mind, it's not accepting things without good evidence. That's just being rational.
Also, churches could pay sales taxes on religious texts they sell (depending on the state). Generally they aren't charged income tax, however. If a church does engage in non-religion related business, I am pretty sure it is taxed normally. If a church were to discriminate on the basis of race, I believe it could lose tax exempt status.
One job of a church is to teach morals, and then let the people choose who to vote for. People of different religions tend to vote different ways based on belief, but it's all ok as long as the church isn't endorsing candidates or parties.
Coming back to my last post, I think inquiry, search for higher truth, and an open mind might be a better approach, than skepticism, to a lot of things.
US church's tax exemption is dependent on what they use their buildings for. As I understand it you cannot run profitable enterprises from the church buildings (other than the church itself) and you can't use it for political purposes.
There are a number of US churches that have been reported to the IRS for violating those rules by preaching from the pulpit that a vote for Obama is a literal vote for the anti-Christ.
..and this brings us back to the OP - does it matter what people believe?
Yes - people who don't understand science well enough to get that evolution (with or without God's blessing) is how all the species on earth arose, are also unlikely to understand all sorts of other science which affect the world. Climate change, assessing medical risks, etc.
I think a comparision of tax laws relating to charitable donations in two different countries is going too far OT even for my penchant for wandering
> I think that by and large it's decently likely to be true, but that it still doesn't tell the whole story. I think a little skepticism is always healthy
The thing about science is that it doesn't claim to be the whole truth - yet. Skepticism is indeed always healthy. That's the thing about science - you keep whittling away, asking the difficult questions. It does claim to be the best methodology for getting at the truth about the physical world.
Yes, I'm in the US.
Churches don't pay taxes here, but don't receive federal money either. It would be hard to explain how it works without a quick overview of how the tax works, so here goes.
You can claim a standard deduction of about 12k, or an itemized deduction of a higher amount if you have certain qualified expenses, such as mortgage interest, significant medical bills, or charitable donations. If you donate 6k to charity and pay 6k in mortgage interest, but nothing else, you are no better off, tax wise, than if you hadn't given the donation. However, if you are wealthy and pay 12k in mortgage interest and donate 10k to charity, you could save yourself 3.5k in federal taxes, making your 10k donation only cost you an extra 6.5k.
The issue that's important to me to avoid is double taxation on money given with charitable intent.
cheerful I'm not wholly convinced of evolution either. I think that by and large it's decently likely to be true, but that it still doesn't tell the whole story. I think a little skepticism is always healthy, because not everything taught by science or religion is true, and sometimes what you think is clear and true turns out to be a half truth and far more complex than you could have imagined.
Also, just to stir the pot, DH is literally a genius and is not convinced of evolution. Doesn't bother me.
>If the tax law were up to you grimma, would you tax the church's income, but still allow people who donate to churches to keep a tax deduction for the donation? Or, would you take away the deduction for donors, but leave the money the church receives untaxed?
I don't understand the distinction...are you in the US, maybe its different? Here if you 'gift aid' a donation the organisation gets the tax that would have been paid by the donor given to them, the donor doesn't get a tax deduction as such.
If the tax law were up to you grimma, would you tax the church's income, but still allow people who donate to churches to keep a tax deduction for the donation? Or, would you take away the deduction for donors, but leave the money the church receives untaxed?
If a church building was built with tax dollars, it should absolutely be open to the community. It would be unfair to tax it retroactively if that wasn't part of the original agreement, but I think government could allow them the option of paying a reasonable amount back to the government to end public use, if they don't want it open for the community.
The reasons for going to a social club are far different than the reasons I would go to church, so I do see a distinction. I don't think that subsidized and tax-exempt are the same thing, but I am opposed to subsidizing religions.
>Building a building to allow people to come and worship could be viewed as charity, as could donations to the poor.
The latter, yes, absolutely - the former is debatable on several levels, starting with why people need a fancy building to worship in - don't think the gospels mandate it, rather the contrary. If it was my call, I'd give tax relief on multi-use halls if they were benefitting the wider community (which many church halls do) but not the actual church bit if it was separate.
>Also, when a church builds a building, the building is built with the money of the members who attend
Many of ours were built when the chuch pretty much taxed everyone, it wasn't voluntary donation. Any social club building is paid for by its members, without expecting automatic charitable status. I know you may not see it as a 'social club' but that's pretty much how it seems to outsiders who are having to subsidize through taxes.
I think in the UK the charitable status of churches has been raised recently in relation to the Plymouth Bretheren who are best known as isolationists!
Building a building to allow people to come and worship could be viewed as charity, as could donations to the poor. Also, when a church builds a building, the building is built with the money of the members who attend. For basic church expenses, the only tax that makes sense to me is to tax income of people working for a church, which I think they already do.
And agreed wholeheartedly with Cheerful.
I'm still astounded that India has blasphemy laws. On a side note, when I first heard about your anti-discrimination laws it was about a man who was arrested for singing "Kung Fu Fighting". I hope that the man in India is just one such anomaly, and not typical.
I am religious but don't care what other people believe...as Thomas Jefferson said "...it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg."
I believe wholeheartedly in the separation of church and state. DH and I may send DS to a Catholic school, but we will pay through the nose for it. I don't see anything wrong with that. Taxpayers should not pay for religious schools IMO.
>the government once decided to take away the charitable status of all churches
that was silly of them. They should have still allowed churches to claim charity tax relief on those parts of their activities which were actually charitable rather than self-serving (there's a Buddist lot near us who do exactly that even though they are entitled to claim for everything they do - they appear to work to a higher ethical standard). The response of those churches 'They decided that if they were no longer charities they didn't need to do charitable work any more.' is really astounding...they are surely suppose to do charitable works because Jesus explicitly said to clothe the naked, feed the hungry etc. Don't think he mentioned anything about doing it for tax breaks -rather, 'pay unto caesar'.
That's outright scary, hih.
I think this recent news story about a man accused of blasphemy is very relevant to this thread. He's now living in Finland due to the death threats.
Lovefoolme, I would say I think they are a cultural problem.
It did make me think about the witch trials and the McCarthy trials though and I wonder if we could ever link those all together.
It maybe a random thought train I have had, open to opinions on that.
LoveFoolMe, honor killings, absolutely a cultural problem.
confuddled, the problem is that there has been a lot of corruption of Christianity from the time of Christ. The problem in Christ's time, that he put great attention in to correcting, was that the people had corrupted the doctrines and had lost focus on loving their neighbor. After the apostles were gone, without good tools for record keeping, it didn't take long for the doctrines to be diluted and changed.
I only believe in pushing morals on someone to the extent that it protects the innocent, and I am opposed to rewarding immorality.
It's the difference between faith and religion. I won't ever say that I'm religious and if people ask will say no, I once said I want to start saying I follow The Way which is the original name for Christianity to break from the religiousness. Religion (particularly Christianity, I can't answer for other religions but I should imagine it's the same) tends to get into doing things for action sakes, literal interpretations of things that weren't written for the 21st century. As I've said a lot lately I don't believe that you can enforce morals on someone else and I don't believe that God wants us to either. We were all given freewill and we can't expect to be allowed to use our own if we want to take other's away from them. Faith is personal, it's about what I believe is right for me, it's about how I have a relationship with my god.
It's very easy for people to use religion to their own ends, half quote here and there to say what they want/ need it to say. Anyone can say they do something in God's name, but it doesn't mean that they are right. After all, how many times a day do you hear people use God's name when something goes wrong?
In Australia the government once decided to take away the charitable status of all churches, get some more money from tax. In a rather unprecedented move the leaders of every denomination met together to discuss it. They decided that if they were no longer charities they didn't need to do charitable work any more. The government quickly realised that they couldn't cope without the good that the church does. It would be the same in any country, the church works hard for their community, not just for the Christians who attend the church but the area they serve. My church volunteers at the homeless shelter, cooking food, scrubbing toilets, talking to people etc, it's not about more people to preach to because we don't, we just get on with helping, it's just about serving which is something our church puts a heavy priority on. It is easy when you see the bad things done in the name of religion to forget that there's also a lot more good done.
Do you think honour killings are a cultural problem or a religious one?
I'm no fan of the cross snorbs, and disagree that the sacrifice he gave was centered at his death.
I may be naive in saying this, but I'm utterly and completely convinced that the terrorists who do this are often brainwashed by people who want power, by leaders who don't generally believe in the religion but are looking for ways to use religion as a means of power. In my opinion, religion is only evil when evil people use it, and is an incredible force for good when good people use it.

The New Orleans Saints lucked out after signing rookie running back Chris Ivory as an undrafted free agent last season. He ended up leading the team in rushing (716 yards) despite playing in only 12 games. Now they're fortunate that Ivory, who landed on injured reserve after hurting his foot in the regular-season finale against Tampa Bay, is on track to be fully healthy for his second year.
The Times-Picayune reports Ivory — two months removed from joint-correcting lisfranc surgery — is now able to walk on his own power and expects to start running sometime in April. Ivory said the procedure, which involved putting a screw through one of his bones, went "perfectly."
"Right now, I'm still rehabbing and it has gotten a lot better," Ivory told the newspaper about his foot. "I'm to the point now where I can put a little more pressure on it, but that pressure is still -- I'm still hesitant to put a lot on it, to where it's like I'm walking normal. I still have a little ways to go."

Just less than three weeks ago, the Saints retained pending free agent running back Pierre Thomas by agreeing on a four-year, $11.2 million deal. With Thomas back and the news on Ivory being positive, the team could cut Reggie Bush.
Bush is set to earn a base salary of $11.8 million next season, and the Saints won't bring him back unless he restructures the contract and takes a significant pay cut. He has said he is willing to rework his deal, and coach Sean Payton said last week he is optimistic Bush will remain.
Ivory and Thomas can be a pretty productive duo, and Bush's recent run of injuries might have the organization already thinking about drafting a potential replacement.

Bill would expand residential tax break eligibilityBy Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer | March 25,2013Now that Rutlands voters have authorized city government to make use of the states residential tax stabilization law, its legislators are working to make the law into something more useful.
The city delegation has introduced a bill that would alter the statute to allow tax stabilization on homes designated as blighted.
It gives a chance to do what we are trying to do, which is give people a break for five years for improvements to their property, Rep. Herb Russell, D-Rutland, said.
The bill is before the House Ways and Means Committee, and Russell went before that committee last week to convince its members of the proposals merits. He said he was lucky to get the bill on the committees agenda.
Things are really tight and theyre up against the ropes right now in terms of making decisions on where money comes from, he said.
Busy schedule aside, Russell said the committee was warm and very receptive toward the bill and that he heard no negative comments, just constructive technical questions.
There were compliments to Rutland, kudos, for the city taking this action and trying to do something about blighted properties and improving neighborhoods, he said. They were receptive in a big way. ... I feel as though this will move. People really lit up and liked the idea.
The existing law says a municipality can vote to offer tax stabilization to low-income housing where improvements were at least partially funded by a nonprofit, neighborhood or municipal housing improvement program.
The bill expands that eligibility to principal dwelling units certified as blighted by an independent review committee which must find that the home exhibits objectively determinable signs of deterioration sufficient to constitute a threat to human health, safety, and public welfare.
The city hopes to use residential tax stabilization as a way to encourage home improvements as part of its neighborhood stabilization efforts.
My sense is, this is doing what we want it to do, Mayor Christopher Louras said of the bill.

text: Just to close the loop on my comments from earlier I just had a discussion with David Lindholm (who was CCed on the email to me from Hinchey). He did his best to dig out of the hole Hinchey created with the email and made me fell that as an organization that's not how he wanted to see that handled. Essentially he did his best to separate how he would have handled a response from Hinchey's personal response to my blog post while acknowledging that it was an impossible task to completely do. I'm still not thrilled with what happened but I do think that there are cooler heads in the FO. In particular, after having repeated run-ins like this with his predecessor David Lindholm has done a great job being a liaison point for me (and presumably other media) in dealing with the team. For now I'm going to try to not let Hinchey's blunder reflect on the rest of the organization but his has greatly influenced my opinion of him (which, admittedly, wasn't the best to begin with).

The trick to these cookies is finding a tulip cookie cutter. Turn it over and it's a perfect pacman ghost! You'll also need a circular cookie cutter about the same size to make the pacmans (pacmen?)
Step 1: Assemble the Ingredients
Sugar cookie dough
1 egg white
2 cups powdered sugar
2 teaspoons lemon juice
Tiny bit of flour
Various food paste colors (blue, red, pink, and orange)
Mini chocolate chips
Step 2: Cut Out the Cookies
Dust down some flour, then roll out the cookie dough so it's about 1/4 inch thick.
Cut out the ghost and Pacman shapes from sugar cookie dough.
Pacman is created from a circular cookie cutter and then a pointy bit from another cookie cutter; I used a heart cookie cutter for mine. You can also use a knife instead of a pointy-bit cookie cutter.
Bake for about eight minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Allow the cookies to cool.
Step 3: Create the Royal Icing
For each character color, scoop roughly one-fourth cup of the royal icing into a bowl. Save a little of the white royal icing; you'll need it for the last bit.
Dip a toothpick into the bottle of food coloring paste and stir into the icing. With the food paste I used, I needed two dips for to create the blue for the Inky, but the other colors only required only one dip.
Once it's the proper color, pour the icing into a sealable plastic bag.
Seal the bag, and snip a teeny tiny bit off one of the corners.
Step 4: Frost the cookies
Flood in the outline. Repeat the whole coloring and bagging procedure for each group of ghosts. Repeat for the Pacmans.
Allow the icing on the cookies to set. It'll take about 30 minutes.
Step 5: Add the Eyes
Add two white dots for eyes, then add two mini chocolate chips for each ghost.

Africans have received George Bush with palpable affection during his current tour of the continent. And with good reason. As James Kirchick pointed out in contentions, Bush's record on Africa shows an unprecedented American commitment to humanitarianism. Sadly, this record of sympathy and largesse may not be matched anytime soon. Having scoured the websites of John McCain, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama, I'm sorry to report that among the extensive dropdown menus covering important issues there's precious little (if any) African policy to be found.
As the very last item under the heading "Restoring America's Standing in the World" you'll find on Hillary's site:
Hillary has been a forceful and consistent advocate for a more robust response to the violence in Darfur since May 2004. She has raised the issue with the Bush administration and pushed for more resources for peacekeeping efforts.
"Raising the issue" of Darfur peacekeeping is an interesting way to go about "restoring America's standing." She may want to try pushing the UN to live up to its revered multilateral mandate and do something about the round-the-clock slaughter, instead.
Beyond a trove of archived speeches and editorials, John McCain's campaign website had nothing current to say on Africa. Barack Obama, born to a Kenyan father, has a full paragraph on issues pertaining to "sportsmen" ("Barack Obama did not grow up hunting and fishing, but he recognizes the great conservation legacy of America's hunters and anglers and has great respect for the passion that hunters and anglers have for their sport.") but the candidate for change offers only these 20 words on Africa:
Obama will stop shuttering consulates and start opening them in the tough and hopeless corners of the world – particularly in Africa.
African policy as a detail of larger diplomatic cuddliness. Jeez.
In 2006, when Bob Geldof organized the Live 8 multimedia event for African relief, he forbade performers from bad-mouthing George W. Bush on stage. As the overheated war crimes rant has become a dependable staple of rock-and-roll theater, you can be sure that Geldof's line-up was none too happy. However, as Geldof said of Bush and his critics: "They refuse to accept, because of their political ideology, that he has actually done more than any American president for Africa. But it's empirically so."
Geldof, the only pop activist worthy of the term (aside from Bono, who also praises Bush on this score) is once again defending Bush's African policies. He said recently of Bush's African agenda: "This is the triumph of American policy really. It was probably unexpected of the man. It was expected of the nation, but not of the man, but both rose to the occasion."
Who's rising now?

Rich Man Walking
August 12, 2011 § 2 Comments
In the morning, early-ish, I like to walk to the end of our pasture and back. Lately, the grass has been dew-wet and too heavy for itself, so I wear rubber boots and roll up my pants. Lately, it's been just cool enough that a flannel shirt feels right, at least for the stroll down. On the way up, I tie it around my waist or simply carry it. I like the feel of well-worn flannel in my hand.
Yesterday, listening to the noise news as I washed the evening dishes, I was struck again by the insanity of it all. The market is up. The market is down. Up, down, down, up. And suddenly the tenor has changed to one of fear, if not outright panic. What has changed?
As my walks remind me, the things that matter have not. The ground beneath my feet. The animals that meet the day with me. My family, still sleeping, under a roof that doesn't leak. The gardens and berries, abundant to the point of absurdity.
Of course, this may not always be true. And of course, my appreciation for these things could quickly whither under the glare of other concerns. But for now, I am afforded the luxury of these appreciations. For now, these short walks remind me of what really matters, and where my true wealth lies.

Hi Ben,
Thanks for this post. What a good reminder of what really matters.
I finished your book about a week ago and I'm still mulling it all over. I really appreciated your approach. How tricky to write about your neighbors–but you did it with honesty and generosity. Thanks for that!
One of my favorite parts: day-in-the-life of the mobile slaughter house. Great to get a hint of what that work is like.
You've written more than one book…….I read "The Town that Food Saved"

When? May 18, 2012
What for? For a busier-than-expected day at the library. I think this outfit came out dressier than I had thought in my head for a "casual Friday," but getting down to basics, it's just a cotton tunic, trousers, and black wedges. That's it. But I liked how a co-worker remarked, "Black and white, such a classy color combination." I could have totally gone with some skinny jeans — as I certainly have in the past — but these trousers were at the top of the stack in the dresser. Sometimes, the decision comes down to whatever's closest. ;)
I tried a variation of the hairstyle that I tried out yesterday (following this online hair tutorial), this time with my regular side part and doing only one side. Seriously, 5 minutes. It's so easy, and this style would look great with wavy or curly hair, too.
And, finally, continuing with funny style blogger quirks, today's pose is "How To Be a Fashion Blogger, #2: Perfect your pigeon-toed stance." I've had some practice with this one already, too. ;) (Also, I dubbed that 3rd shot above my "broken dolly" pose.)
- Black trousers: Maurices (2005?)
- Cotton tunic: Pyramid Collection catalog, birthday gift from my mom (2011)
- Black wedges: Dillard's (2005? '06?)
- Necklace: Kohl's (new, gift card, shopping details here)
- Earrings: Either my mom's or my paternal grandmother's (Mom, a little help here?)

Quaker Fiction
A unique group of our holdings is our collection of Quaker Fiction. Some 800 books of fiction, drama and poetry by and about Friends are included in this collection.. Popular culture and the placement of the Society of Friends within it are demonstrated by a number of 18th century anti-Quakeriana plays and "Dime Novels." Issues of war and peace are popular themes for the novels in different places and times. The Quaker Fiction Collection contains the writings of current Quaker authors, however the majority of the historical novels were gathered by Francis R. Taylor, Haverford Class of 1906, and given to Haverford by Anne Taylor Bronner.
Several publications, dissertations and articles have been published on the subject but there is potential for much more research using this unique and unusual resource.

Read Poems by
Mohammad Yamin
My journey is shorter than a wink
Tarry a little, I shall be back
Apathy emits nauseating stink
Kindness is a needle in haystack
What shall I stay here for?
Bondages are hard to endure
Thy creations allure me from far
Beauties are mine, I'm not sure
Thy free gifts have a price tag
I've to pay even to breathe
My cravings, my desires have snag
I am mortgaged up to teeth
Love has stretching demands
Life bewails the limited grant
There are bonds, bonds and bonds
How to endure the ceaseless haunt
Prepare the hearse for me
I beseech you let my soul free.

Hunter Harris took one look at the crowd and smiled.
"There's a lot of excitement," the senior forward on the East Tennessee State basketball team said Monday night at the school's revamped Bluenanza event. "That's what we need. We need our fans to be involved in what we do."
Bluenanza 2.0, as it was called, gave ETSU fans a chance to meet the current editions of the men's and women's basketball teams.
An enthusiastic crowd of students and supporters gathered in the renovated quad area in front of Brooks Gym. They were waving banners and flags, making a lot of noise and generally enjoying themselves.
"I love it," new women's coach Brittney Ezell said of having the event outside in a new-and-improved part of campus. "This is fantastic. I think it's pretty awesome. The campus beautification has been going great, so why not show it off."
Every player on each team was introduced while a large video screen showed a couple of poses of them.
As part of the festivities, students — with some help from ETSU players — were chosen to attempt shots from the roof of Brooks Gym to a basket down below, with free tuition on the line. None made it.
The pep band played and a fireworks show closed the festivities. It was a different atmosphere than previous season-opening events held inside the Minidome.
"I think it's a great idea," said men's coach Murry Bartow, who added a little shake to his video introduction. "It's something different. Sometimes when you do something the same every year, it gets a little stale. The focus here is a little more student-driven. We're really trying to engage the students and let them know they're important to our success. "
The men's team gets into action tonight when Milligan College pays a visit to the Dome for an exhibition game.
Five returners are expected to be in the starting lineup for the Bucs: forwards Kinard Gadsden-Gilliard and Harris, guards Rashawn Rembert and Petey McClain will join center Lukas Poderis.
That would make the top three off the bench Lester Wilson and newcomers Jalen Riley and A.J. Merriweather, although Bartow hedged just a bit.
"A.J.'s our best defender," he said. "And to be quite honest, we've talked so much about defense, I'd really hesitate to not start our best defender."
Harris says the players are ready to face an opponent other than themselves.
"The team looks good," he said. "Our defense, man, it's improved so much from last year. We're gonna be playing a lot of man. Everybody's playing hard. Everybody wants to win."
The Bucs will be down one player. Leonard Smith, a junior-college transfer, has quit the team and returned home to Kentucky.
"He's not gonna be part of our team," Bartow said. "He decided he didn't want to be here and had some things going on back home, some family stuff."
Milligan has become a common opponent for ETSU in past seasons, for exhibitions or regular-season games. The schools are just a few miles apart, and playing each other makes a lot of sense.
"I think it's a great game," Bartow said. "Bill (Robinson) is a really good guy, a really good coach, and runs a good program. Milligan's right there in Elizabethton, so it's a win win.
"Our focus is totally on us, though, and hopefully we can play really well for 40 minutes."
The ETSU women don't open until Saturday when they play host to Shepherd University in an exhibition.
"We're coming along, but it's slow," Ezell said. "I think they're buying in. We'll see. Saturday will be interesting, but we really need to get ready for the following Saturday against Memphis."

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. John Debney's work on Lair is one of the few things often praised about that game, which was lambasted for its finicky motion controls. He wrote the music in the style of old Hollywood epics, the music is an aural feast written for a large symphony orchestra, and also features a variety of ethnic instruments as well as both chorus and solo vocalists. In terms of video game music this massive-scale undertaking is nearly unprecedented. In an interview with Aint it Cool News, he stated: " I think what appealed most to me was that there was a lot of creative freedom. In other words, the first thing that was up to bat for me was 'What is the sound of LAIR?' I had to come up with the sound that represented this world. What I ended up with, which they quite liked, was this combination of a large traditional western orchestra with other ethnic instrumental soloists like, for instance, the erhu which is an ancient Chinese instrument. I utilized some of these same musicians before on THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST (2004). That's what was very appealing to me…not having as many constraints as most films do. The timeline was obviously much longer than a normal film and Sony just wanted me to go crazy and write a number of different themes for different characters in different situations. So that's always fun. "

OK, I found the correct forum for my question, but shit the last 10 posts have all been off topic about coffee and ego pissing.
So now,
on my system, version 3.2U, most recent homebrew loader, bootmii as IOS,
when I try to load wii64: all I get is the bootmii menu. (it is as if I am selecting bootmii menu from the homebrew menu rather than wii64).
It it because wii64 is using the same IOS that bootmii is using? or what?
How do I fix it.
BTW: any of you coffee drinkers got goldeneye n64 rom to load on this?
It won't load yet so don't waste your time trying and I have absolutely no idea whats causing your problem.
I want to avoid dbl posting so here is a link to my most recent post in the other forum
Just my 2 cents, I've personally never coded an emulator but I'm a little interested in doing so. I should just start learning C and C++ instead of using Python for everything ^_^.
Also this N64 emulator made my day...=D Super Mario 64 and LoZ: OoT MQ FTW! After long months of hunting for the GC disk...I buy a Wii and get the EXACT SAME THING :'(.

For the first time since coming to Sweetwater in 1990, your humble sports editor had no football team from Nolan County to cover in the high school playoffs this past season. In fact, there were few victories to write about as the county's four schools won just one-fifth of their games (8-32) — and one of those was the result of a forfeit.
But there have been eight victories this season already and Sweetwater (2-3) is the only area team that hasn't already reached or exceeded its win total for last year.
Members of this year's Sweetwater High School varsity tennis team are, front row kneeling from left, Kristen Casto, Vida Gamez, Kayla Sage, Teresa Perez-Poe, Brianna Hicks, Jenny Medellin, Gewel Cherry; standing, Keygan Valdez, Michael Redondo, Stephen Shipp, Zac Bax, Isaiah Hernandez, Bryan Vause and Billy Reeves.

(ABC 6 NEWS) -- Not long ago, it was something you practiced over and over again until you got it "just right".
Tuesday, it's all but forgotten.
But there might be more to this "lost art" than meets the eye.
"We still teach cursive writing beginning in third grade," said Sumner elementary school principal Sheila Berger.
"But it doesn't have the priority it probably had 20 years ago."
Today, cursive has fallen victim to technology.
"Most of the time if students are producing writing it's done on the computer," principal Sheila Berger said.
Minnesota no longer requires schools to teach cursive. But while most Minnesota schools do teach it, schools in other states including Illinois and Indiana, don't.
"When I first started teaching it was something you learned and then you applied and used in every single subject area and you only used cursive. That is not the case now," said Sumner elementary school third grade teacher Deborah Cook.
But medical researchers say they've found more activity in the brains of kids who are using cursive than those who are using a keyboard.
"The act of forming letters, whether it be manual or cursive, is still a critical component in the development of fine motor skills, of eye-hand coordination, which leads into reading strength," said Sumner principal Sheila Berger.
And since cursive involves learning one letter at a time, then putting them together to form words and eventually sentences.
"The step by step process within itself is again a method or process that helps students in all subject areas as well," third grade teacher Deborah Cook told us.
But if that process can be accomplished in other ways, is cursive going the way of the dinosaur?
"We've had lots of conversations about what is the need or is there a need beyond formulating your signature," principal Sheila Berger said.
"As they fill out forms and documents there is usually a line where a signature is needed," teacher Deborah Cook said.
"Beyond that I don't know what the future holds for cursive writing," principal Sheila Berger added.
The Minnesota Department of Education says it might re-examine its cursive policy if schools stop using it.

Reaction is coming in from many quarters to Friday's announcement that A&M President R. Bowen Loftin is resigning in January.
News 3 talked with former A&M President Ray Bowen about Loftin's announcement.
He said he gives him good grades for his efforts and his popularity with students.
But he said Loftin's relationship with the board and chancellor has been different than when he was president.
He said at that time the chancellors were very hands off.
Bowen said, "I had a certain degree of autonomy and the board encouraged that. My impression, and that is not unique to me, is that this chancellor is more deeply involved in the daily operations of the flagship university. And that's his style, his business, certainly not something I could criticize. It's just that it's different than what I experienced."
Dr. Ray Bowen was Texas A&M President for 8 years, from 1994 to 2002.

Nationwide Children's Hospital Sport Safety Helmet Program
The Columbus Blue Jackets Foundation and Nationwide Children's Hospital team up each year to distribute Blue Jackets branded bike helmets to area youth visiting the hospital as a result of head traumas, through the Neighborhood Pride Program, the Columbus Division of Police Community Liaison Officers , and the Columbus Division of Fire at 12 of their stations. Head traumas are among the leading causes of hospital stays for children and the Foundation is proud to have donated over 18,000 helmets to the Central Ohio area – helping to make wearing a helmet the "coolest" thing to do.
"The Columbus Blue Jackets Foundation has supported a program that has saved lives! Medical experts know that if you have a bike crash, wearing a helmet protects the head from serious, potentially life threatening injury. The foundation has supported a bike helmet program that enables at risk children to select and be fitted with the helmet of their choice. It is now common to see a child wearing a helmet provided by this support - last year, almost 2000 children were fitted and their lives are safer because of the Columbus Blue Jackets Foundation!"
Kathy Haley, RN, BSN
Nationwide Children's Hospital
An estimated 275,000 children younger than 15 years old visit the emergency departments each year for bicycle-related injuries in the U.S. Approximately 140 bicycle-related deaths occur each year among children younger than 15 years of age.
Teaming up with the City of Columbus...
Bicycle crashes are a common reason Columbus children are treated at a hospital for injury. Bicycle helmets can lower the risk of brain injury by up to 88 percent. However, too few Columbus youth wear a helmet every time they ride. In July 2008, Columbus City Council passed a law requiring the use of helmets by all children younger than 18.

Loot and Guild Hopping
I saw a few discussion articles recently, touched off by Tobold, about guild members gearing up and then jumping to a guild that's progressed further. WoW is the example he uses to discuss what's wrong with loot distribution in game, and how it causes a guild to fracture.
A few things popped out at me, like this quote:
Before WoW, people were leaving guilds most often for reasons of not getting along with other people in the guild. Guild drama and people in a guild getting into fights is as old as guild themselves. But World of Warcraft added a new element: guild hopping for epics. This is due to the fact that if you are among the best equipped characters in your guild, your further progression slows down significantly. The guild as a whole progresses not at the speed of the first raider, but at the speed of the 25th.
I completely disagree with his assertion that guild hopping for loot wasn't an issue before WoW. Guild hopping for epics/high end gear was common even in the early days of EQ, and I'd assume even before that.
I do agree with his assertion that one person's epic takes the collective effort of the guild, and it demoralizes everyone to see that person run to greener pastures. But his suggestion of a guild rep faction system is just DKP really, and Potshot's suggestion of tokens for loot not only sucks the thrill out of raiding, but also reinforces the loot gap between those who have oodles of time and those who don't.
Putting in a system that basically handcuffs a player to their guild is a bad idea. You can put in a faction system, or even force a player to return epics to the guild bank if they leave, but you can't force a player to participate and cooperate with a guild that they dont' want to be a part of. Sure, players will end up staying with their guilds, but they'll just skip in house raids to join up with higher end raid guilds. All it would do is change the game culture to make outside raiding more common and accepted.
One possible design solution that helps is EQ2′s system, where loot drops are tailored to the raid classes in the instance. So you won't go through a raid and get 15 pieces of bard gear if you dont' have a bard in attendance. Assuming that the number of drops is the same, it means you are gearing up much more efficiently, and people are more often seeing loot that they can use.
But what this issue really comes down to is not with game design, but with guild management. One of the main responsibilities of a guild leader is to manage recruitment responsibly. If you are a laid back, casual guild, you don't send a guild invite to someone who plays 80 hours a week and goes on and on about raiding Top Tier Zone 01. Good front end screening prevents most of the problem. And pro active roster management can take care of the rest. There are usually lots of red flags that pop up when someone is potentially seeking greener pastures. I've seen way too many guild hoppers, and I can't say I was ever shocked when it actually happened. What it comes down to is a case of mismatched playstyles, which is not the fault of the game.
Ironically, I'm working through the very issue of loot distribution right now. We haven't had any drama – yet – but I can tell that I have to make adjustments to our loot system sooner rather than later. Right now in our guild, we're getting items that are being upgraded fairly fast, since people are quickly outleveling the gear that we're getting. But even if it's just a bag of compost that drops, and people see it being awarded unfairly, that can begin to create distrust – not only among members, but towards leadership, and that distrust can easily spread to other areas besides loot.Tobold finished his entry by saying:
Some system that forces people to select their friends more carefully and encourages them to stick together would do wonders to the social cohesion of WoW.
That system is called responsible and pro active guild management. It's not flawless, but it's better than any in game system that could be designed.
And on another note, I'm a bit slow to mention this, but Darren, host of Shut Up We're Talking, invited me to co-host the show with him, which I gladly accepted. And the most recent show, with Tim from Van Hemlock, and Michael from MMOG Nation, was a blast to be a part of. Talking with those three was a pleasure, and I look forward to being a regular down the road.
Peter from The Addicted Gamer also invited me to be a guest on his next show, which is coming up soon. And last but not least, Troy started up a new show, called Travels with Troy, and he asked me to pop on for a cameo/discussion topic for his next episode. I think I'm getting hooked on this whole podcasting thing….

Leather, wood and stone
I fell in love/hate with this cottage/home in Spain featured in a recent issue of Nuevo Estilo. It's huge open layout is perfect for cottage life and would be a fantastic gathering space of lots of friends and family. The combination of rustic (reclaimed wood, stone) mixed with a leather chesterfield and plaid chair also joined with some mid-century chairs and tables - bringing such disparate pieces together really works here. However, I am baffled by all of the window treatments - massively long purple curtains (why purple? WHY??) and blinds hung way too high. AGH!! The one red, one silver light fixtures in the bathroom...bad idea. (I won't even discuss the bedding). And it is disappointing to see such a lazy approach to the ceiling and beams. Spraying it ALL white instead of leaving some of the raw wood showing, or at least the steal pieces. (Designed by Kotablue and Mercedes de las Heras)

Olivia Smoliga
Oct. 24, 2013
ATHENS, Ga. --- The Georgia swimming program will be well represented in the upcoming Duel in the Pool, which pits the top United States swimmers against the counterparts from Europe.
The sixth edition of the Duel in the Pool will take place Dec. 20-21 in Glasgow, Scotland. The United States is 5-0 all-time in the event.
Jack Bauerle has been chosen as the head coach for the United States' women's team for the fourth time in his career. His United States' squad will include senior Shannon Vreeland, freshman Olivia Smoliga and former Lady Bulldog Megan Romano. All three could compete in sprint freestyle events, while Smoliga and Romano will add backstroke options.
The United States' men's team will feature junior Nicolas Fink and sophomore Chase Kalisz. Fink is slated for the breaststroke races, while Kalisz is penciled in for the individual medley events.
"Any chance you get to represent not only the University of Georgia but the United States in competition is special," Bauerle said. "The camaraderie at an event like this is incredible. I am really happy that so many of our people will be on deck and in the water for this one. We are really looking forward to it."
United States swimmers were eligible for selection based on posting the top qualifying time in each Olympic event at the 2013 FINA World Championships, 2013 World University Games or 2013 U.S. Open. The top two swimmers in the 100 and 200 freestyles at these three events qualified for selection.
The two-day, short-course meet will be held at the Tollcross International Swimming Centre, site of the 2014 Commonwealth Games. Highlights of the meet will air on NBC on Sunday, Dec. 22, at 4 p.m.
Swimmers can compete in a maximum of six events (individual and relays), and each team may enter up to four swimmers per individual event and one relay. A running score will be kept combining the points earned by both women and men to determine the winning team.

Loved just about everything about this string. Strung it pretty low for a 18 gauge. I went with 52 lbs. Played about 2 hrs of doubles and singles for my high school team. I am a big counter puncher and love to play out a point and this string was great for that. Awesome power when needed but then amazing playability when approaching the net. LOVE this string and will continue to use it.

You will find here an all too common story about asbestos exposure followed by helpful information about how you can move forward with your specific asbestos and mesothelioma-related questions.
On February 1, 2008, the Associated Press reported that a grand jury charged two men with violating environmental laws and lying to an OSHA inspector about asbestos removal in the demolition of an old hospital wing in Rochester, New York last year.
According to the article, the two men, both of Rochester, were charged, along with Gordon-Smith Contracting Inc.
The defendants are accused of causing workers to disturb asbestos at the former Genesee Hospital's West Wing building in the removal of copper piping from ceilings filled with fire insulation laden with asbestos.
Sadly, as the mesothelioma lawyers in the Weitz & Luxenberg Asbestos Litigation unit have seen through their work, this is an egregious, yet common, example of people who were exposed to asbestos simply because the powers that be failed to have in place routine safety measures.
Weitz & Luxenberg is a leading plaintiffs' law firm that has represented people affected by mesothelioma for over 20 years. Men and women diagnosed with mesothelioma or lung cancer caused by asbestos exposure may be entitled to compensation from the companies responsible for their disease.

Cranberry, Date and Tomato Chutney: Spices & Seasons Recipe
Posted By Rinku Bhattacharya On November 19, 2012 @ 8:55 pm In Columns,Condiments,Cooking,Recipes,Sauces,Spices and Seasons | No Comments
[1]We are right at the cusp of my favorite holiday. My kids get excited about Thanksgiving too, for them is mostly about visiting friends and family while for me it is about the food. I would like to think I have finished most of my food shopping, but, there is always stuff that keeps popping up. My thanksgiving menu like most of the other food in my house is re-worked with some Indian spices. I shall be posting some of my recipe as we go along, so keep checking into to Spices and Seasons, to see what I will be cooking. As for this one, some technical glitches made this one an evening post, not bad for a change of pace.
A versatile quick fix that I add to almost anything for that touch of spicy flavor is a spice mixture that is a mixture of five whole spices, cumin [2], mustard [3], nigella, fennel and fenugreek. It is a colorful mixture of spices that are bursting with flavor and usually toasted in hot oil and used for seasoning. The Bengali Five Spice Blend or Panch (Five) Phoron ( Whole Spices). A little goes a long way, in seasoning things.
This spice is one of the signature spice in the cuisine of Eastern India, and very popular in my kitchen.
Our recipe today pairs seasonal cranberries with the five spice blend to produce a chutney that adds a touch of nuance and flavor to the cranberry relish, that I make with cranberries, dates and brown sugar tempered with a touch of the five spice blend.
If you want to actually want to see what this tastes like, you can certainly make it yourself or stop by this Saturday at 11 AM the Greenburgh Public Library [4]where I shall be doing a cooking demo and serving up chutney samples and signing copies of my just released Bengali Five Spice Chronicles [5]. I would love to see you there.
The recipe I feature here uses tomatoes, but you can leave them out or used packaged tomatoes and just increase the amount of cranberries.
[11]Rinku Bhattacharya is a daytime financial professional, who spends the rest of her time immersed in food. Rinku is the author of the blog, Cooking in Westchester [12], where she shares her life experiences, original recipes that combine Indian flavors with produce from her backyard and local farmers markets. Rinku is blessed with a gardener husband, who always surprises her with a prolific and fresh supply of produce to keep her creative instincts flowing. Rinku has been teaching recreational cooking classes for the past six years, and has found her classes [13]a great way to teach and learn. Her cookbook the Bengali Five Spice Chronicles [5], shares over 180 recipes made simple. Rinku can be found on facebook [14], twitter [15]and pinterest [16].

CHURUBUSCO — Creating new memories is what inspired Tim Holmes, of Churubusco, to reopen Papa's Place restaurant.
"Someone told me they would love their kids to be able to experience Papa's Place," said Tim. "Those kids who are now parents remember coming to Papa's after school, having bread sticks and hanging out. That generation was really the last to get to do that. I am glad to offer that experience to today's teens."
Originally the establishment was launched Dec. 1, 1983, under the name Mama Sue's. After moving to a new location on Main Street, Mama Sue's transformed into Papa's Place serving the community for almost 20 years.
It's items such as the sausage roll that will not just satisfy the appetite, but will evoke memories for patrons.
In July, Tim's wife, Sue, passed away. It was then that Tim decided to explore relaunching the restaurant. Sue created most of the recipes, which will be reintroduced when Papa's opens in February. But Tim's son, Timmy, will have a hand in reinvigorating the traditional menu items.
Bringing back Papa's Place was the "right thing to do," according to Tim. When Pit Stop Pizza closed last year, it left Churubusco without a hometown pizza establishment. Tim saw the need and wanted to try to fill it.
Operating out of the former Mountaintop Coffee House location, Papa's Place will once again occupy Main Street.
Tim's plans are to open Feb. 12. From there, Papa's Place will serve lunch and dinner. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, Papa's will be open from 3 to 9 p.m. Thursdays and Fridays lunch will be available with the restaurant opening up at 11 a.m.
"Sue would be really happy we've decided to reopen," Tim said. "I know she will be here with us in spirit, and her warmth will still be felt with every meal served."

I recently went to the D23 exhibit at the Reagan Library and got inspired to finally take a trip to the Walt Disney Barn in Griffith Park last month. I haven't seen a lot of threads about this place, so I thought I'd post some pictures. I spent about an hour and a half there. It's a tiny little space, pretty crowded and hot, but I loved it. Bob Gurr was there that day signing his book. One of the many volunteers there was giving a 15 minute tour, and he mentioned that about 80% of the building is the original barn as it was in Walt's backyard (roof had to be replaced due to city fire regulations).
This is an exact copy of the Carolwood Pacific (name Walt gave his backyard train) engine from Walt's backyard, except it is painted exactly like the Disneyland Railroad (C.K. Holliday).
Here is the real thing. One of the Carolwood Pacific's original cars that Walt worked on in this barn, along with an original piece of track. I believe they said there are other original pieces are on display at the Walt Disney Family Museum and also somewhere in Marceline, MO.
Here are the Carolwood blueprints. They were also used for the Disneyland Railroad, so basically the Disneyland Railroad is almost identical to the Carolwood.
This was a 1/8 scale engine Walt had bought which he intended to take apart and use on the Carolwood, but it got damaged while being transported and he never got around to fixing it.
This panel was a map of his home property including the train tracks. Walt could control the routing of the train and monitor it's location (track is half a mile long).
This is a railroad pass/ ID card Walt had made to give anyone who rode the Carolwood.
Railroad passes Walt had made for the Disneyland Railroad. I guess he used to actually own the railroad as opposed to it being Disney Company property.
Most of the furniture was made by Walt.
I believe the La Canada pass was for Ollie Johnston's backyard train.
