Abolish the IRS, and end the Federal Reserve. The Fed creates credit and money out of thin air. We dont need a secret and all powerful central banking monopoly trying to control the value of our money. Valuation is determined subjectively by individual actors in the exchange processes of a freemarket (The Theory of diminishing Marginal Utility). The quantity value theory of money is not a valid theory and does not hold true when one studies the history of hyperinflationary events like the one that occured in Germany in 1923. Monetary inflation and rise in prices happen at varing and different rates at the different stages of the inflationary event. For example monetary inflation, the expansion of the M2 happens at a much faster rate than the rise of prices during the beginning stages of an inflation. Prices rise much faster than the M2 expands towards the end of an inflation or during a hyperinflation. Therefore The Fed can't control valuation directly , but it can distort market valuations and the market rate of interest, which will only bring about the misdirection of capital and labor resources into the higher order stages of production( capital goods industries) where they become malinvestments( Can you say TARP?). The Fed inflationary induced low interest rate distorts the true market rate of interest that reflects peoples true time preferences and drives a wedge between savings and investments which leads ultimately to a market boom then a recession. This is exactly what happened in the fall of 2008. The freemarket did not breakdown because there was no freemarket as long as you had this market manipulating central bank and ever intrusive government regulations at all levels. Savings, investment and production are the only way out of this economic crisis not government spending and monetary inflation. Pools of market capital through voluntary savings will get us back to sustainable economic growth for the long term. The phasing out of The Fed is the next step. Our founders envisioned for America a sound money, a free people and a free and voluntary exchange process (freemarket) which is something we haven't had in a very long time now. The Fed and the fiat monetary system is the driving engine behind the welfare/warfare state and big government police statism and it is how and why we are loosing our liberties.

Three Lauderdale County schools closed early Thursday due to water problems. West Lauderdale Elementary, West Lauderdale Middle and West Lauderdale High School dismissed at 11:30 a.m.
"We're already having to make up a weather day, so the administration, myself, we all feel like if at all possible let's try to be able to count the day," said superintendent Randy Hodges. "And by going to 11:30 we were able to do that. You've got to think about the safety. You've got to think about what's best for the kids, but at the same time we didn't want to miss a day. And we were very hopeful that it would be fixed early morning."
The schools have been without water since Wednesday afternoon. Water for all three schools is provided by the North Lauderdale Water Association.
Only the three West Lauderdale schools were affected by this problem.
North Lauderdale Water Association customers who were affected are now under a Boil Water Notice as a precaution.
It applies to all customers west of the Highway 495 and Centerhill-Martin Road intersection to West Lauderdale Road. That includes Pine Springs Road.

Woman Paraplegic Climbs El Cap Despite Yosemite's Closure
On October 12, the Belgian climber Vanessa François topped out on the tallest granite monolith in the world, making a successful ascent of the Zodiac on El Capitan, in Yosemite National Park. However, the obstacles François overcame to climb El Cap are what make her ascent remarkable. For starters, she traveled to California only to be denied access into the the park due to the government shutdown. But this setback didn't stop François. In fact, the access probably seemed minor compared to her true challenge ... climbing El Cap without using her legs.
After being struck by falling ice during a "beautiful sunny day in the mountains" in Chamonix two and a half years ago, François lost use of her legs. Not one to give up, she partnered with the two-time world climbing champion Liv Sansov, the French military high-mountain team member Marion Poitevine and, another climber, Fabien Dugits, to accomplish one of her dreams: to climb El Cap. Enduring three days and four nights on the wall, she cranked over 4,000 pull-ups to summit El Capitan.
Check out this video of her training for El Cap.

To the editor:
This is a response to Dennis Pfeiffer�s June 23 letter to the editor headlined, �Christianity is bad for some businesses.�
I suspect the world might be a better place if more people shared or believed in some of his values. I know many people who call themselves Christians who are the most giving and loving people you ever met. I also know a few who are hateful, selfish, uncaring and dishonest.
I think when people are born, their mindset is a clean slate. Whatever gets put there comes from observation and experience. Many traits are learned. To teach one thing and then be observed doing the opposite can really affect development.
Treat others a certain way � talk or behavior gets picked up and etched into that mind.
Many are brought up being taught and learning Christian values. For many, they lose interest or are influenced by something else. Some even turn out to be homosexual. I don�t think they were taught that way, so maybe they were born that way.
Try as you may you cannot change these people. If God made everyone and loves everyone then these people are his creation and we should accept them.
I think parents should take more time with the development of their children. Know what they�re doing. Know who their friends are. Watch what you say or do around them. Be mindful of what they�re reading, watching on TV and doing when you are not around.
That being said, the world would be pretty dull without all the so-called evils. Many would be unemployed. Desire for science and discovery would be greatly reduced if the world were run by Christians. Books, music and the entertainment industry would suffer as well.
Imagine a world run by Christians � I would rather not.

1935 Chevy Coupe - Street Rod Of The YearWritten by on May 1, 2010 Contributors: Eric Geisert, Ryan Manson, Chuck Vranas One Big Winner And Four Big Runners-Up
The online voting is done, the votes have been counted, and, from 100 vehicles and five finalists, one car has been selected as the '09 Turtle Wax/STREET RODDER Street Rod of the Year.
2009 Turtle Wax/STREET RODDER
Street Rod of the Year
David Douglas
Murfreesboro, Tennessee
1935 Chevy Coupe
Do you ever wonder what happens to the cars that appear in tech stories? Sometimes they reappear in a car feature or show coverage, and sometimes they end up as Street Rod of the Year.
When he turned 50, David Douglas and his wife Sandy decided that the perfect birthday gift was a 1935 Chevy coupe. He located an all-steel stocker in Pennsylvania, where the owner had spent 20 years not building it. After buying it and tearing it apart, David contacted Marcel's Custom Metal Shaping. We were there when Marcel De Ley did the 2-1/4-inch chop, and showed it in the Sept. and Oct. '07 issues of STREET RODDER.
Roger Burman at Lakeside Rods & Rides handled the assembly and shot the Viper Red paint. Under the hood, a ZZ4 Chevy small-block features an Edelbrock carb and intake, and HPC headers and Hushpower mufflers. The 700-R4 transmission delivers torque to a Ford 9-inch. A Heidt's IFS system was added in front. Wilwood disc brakes stop the 17- and 18-inch Billet Specialties rims and Michelin radials. The interior features VDO gauges with Vintage Air controls below. Dan Weber Custom Interiors covered I.S.S. buckets in Ultra Leather.
The three-year build was completed by the end of 2008. At the '09 Goodguys Nostalgia Nats in Bowling Green, Kentucky, we added the Chevy to our Top 100 list. STREET RODDER readers did the rest.
In addition to a nifty jacket and a big box of Turtle Wax products, David wins the grand prize: a Total Cost Involved Engineering 35th anniversary Model A Signature chassis.
Linda and Rusty Jackson
Carl Junction, Missouri
1932 Ford convertible
Rusty Jackson has built a lot of rods at his shop, Odd Rod Creations, but this Deuce was a different kind of project. The highboy belongs to Rusty's mother Linda, and was started by his father Roger, who passed away before it was completed. The Dearborn Deuce convertible (it has windows) rides on a Pete & Jakes chassis. A pair of Halibrand 17x8 rear wheels and 15x4 E-T fronts with Diamond Back fat 'n' skinny rubber add to the hot rod looks, while power steering, power brakes, and A/C provide amenities. A late-model 5.7L hemi is as very cool choice of powerplant, and is tied to a five-speed automatic. The custom mixed green paint was shot by Frank Faliano at Denver Car Color and is balanced by black upholstery and complemented by the right amount of brightwork, done at Jon Wright's Custom Chrome Plating. Linda's '32 was a Top 100 pick at the Goodguys event in Kansas City.
Ted Trent
Portland, Maine
1955 Studebaker Champion
We can't remember the last time we saw a Studebaker built with the kind of attention to detail, incredible craftsmanship and customizing, and performance-oriented engineering that is all over Ted Trent's '55 Champion. The pavement scraping Stude was built at Back Bay Customs (formerly Extreme HCR). Check out www.extremerodandcustom.com to see in-progress shots of the chassis on the "TNT Stude," built on a custom-fabricated frame loaded with Corvette C4 suspension parts, plus RideTech airbags and Wilwood disc brakes at all four Budnik wheels (17s and 18s) with Z-rated 295- and 245-series Goodyear tires. An injected 638-inch Merlin engine powers the Studebaker, with a Hurst Lightning Rods shifted transmission and Strange 9-inch rear behind it. The car won the Low Smooth & Cool award at the Goodguys show in Rhinebeck, New York, and we chose it for Top 100 at the Syracuse Nationals a couple of weeks later.
Mike and Marcia Johnston
Livonia, New York
1934 Ford sedan
Like many of our Top 100 picks, Mike and Marcia Johnston's '34 Tudor combines tradition with elegance and performance. The Johnstons purchased the sedan in excellent original condition after it had been sitting in the second owner's collection for 47 years. Ray and Terri Bartlett of the Hot Rod Garage treated the car to a complete rebuild (see photos at www.thehotrodgarage.com). Traditional elements include the retention of many of the original components, plus hot rod elements such as nerf bars and the Tomato Red paint. Elegant elements include Dean Alexander's deep tan interior upholstery. Performance elements include the 432hp Roush 402R engine (which Roush calls the "wild version" of it's 402ci lineup). The Johnstons took the tudor to 11 shows in 2009, earning a Pro's Pick award at the NSRA Nats, and a Top 100 pick at the Syracuse Nationals that advanced into the final five for Street Rod of the Year.
Doc and Elsie Kinney
Chilliwack, British Columbia
1937 Chevy Coupe
Whenever we venture northward, we're reminded that some of the country's nicest street rods are actually from Canada. One example is Doc and Elsie's Champagne-colored '37 from Chilliwack. If you're not familiar with early Bow Ties, you might miss some of the custom metalwork that distinguishes this one, including the 3-inch stretch in the doors, the 3-inch shortening of the trunk, and the 2-inch widening of the rear fenders. The roof was tilted and the hood was changed to a one-piece unit. Underneath is an Art Morrison frame. The engine and transmission are a GM Performance LS7 crate motor and 4L60E automatic. Other upgrades include 13-inch Wilwood disc brakes, GPS and iPod, and heated seats. The Kinney's coupe was one of four runners-up for the Americas Most Beautiful Street Rod prize at the Goodguys event in Pleasanton in August, as well as runner-up for Street Rod of the Year.
Let's Do It Again
The STREET RODDER Top 100 program is back. We will select 10 cars from each of the events listed below, publicize them in the magazine and on our website. All Top 100 winners will receive custom jackets and plaques. At the end of the year, readers will be able to go to www.streetrodderweb.com to vote for their favorites. From the five biggest vote getters, the STREET RODDER staff will select the '10 Street Rod of the Year. Will it be your car? Only if you participate.

True Blood
Lauren Bowles Calls True Blood Season 6 Death "Completely Heartbreaking"
True Blood showrunner Brian Buckner put the fear of God (or perhaps Lilith) into all of us Truebies when he admitted that a key member of the cast is going to die before the season ends. While the speculation has mostly surrounded Alexander Skarsgard's character, vampire Eric Northman, meeting the true death, some are wondering if it might be a human who meets his/her demise. In fact, Chris Bauer (who plays Sheriff Andy Bellefleur) said at the premiere event, "This is a season that takes its toll on the humans, for sure."
But many have wondered – would they ever have Sookie die when Charlaine Harris' novels all surround the character, as well as most of the show? Lauren Bowles (who plays Holly Cleary) says "No," but she's not ruling out anyone else's death. In an interview with EW.com, this is what she had to say of the emotional reveal and heart-wrenching table read:
"It completely surprised me. There's not much to say other than it's completely heartbreaking...But I really will say it's one those that I cried when I read it. Everyone at the table read was crying because in addition to who it is...it could be anyone. I think it's safe to say it's not Sookie but, other than that, it really could be anyone and it is so beautifully done."
Lauren made sure to say it could be her character, Holly, but – no offense – we just don't see everyone crying over losing her, as it's not a pivotal role on the show. We think it's going to be a much, much bigger loss.
Who do you think is going to die on season six of True Blood?

Meet 2011's Emerging Pharma Leaders—Can these 30 trendsetters build competitive scale from scarcity?
The 30 profiles written and compiled by our editorial team is reference in itself to the trends and values that will shape strategy in biopharmaceuticals for the remainder of the decade. That, in turn, will help determine the ground rules for individual career progress. We've distilled some of the more interesting insights as follows:The real meaning of "lean." As companies scale back—this year's leaders are aware that the pace of layoffs in Big Pharma is exceeded only by the government sector—the response is not just to "do more with less." All agree that the change is strategic, not temporary, and relates squarely to the higher long-term risk profile of the business. The optimal response to the lean agenda is to contribute to strengthening the efficiency of business practice and processes; sometimes this requires more resources, not less. Making trust, engagement, and loyalty programs really convincing to employees is another necessary leadership attribute of a lean organization, where the impact of a loss of any productive worker is magnified. This is where overall corporate reputation can make a bottom-line difference.
Information is now borderless, posing a significant management challenge to stronger employee engagement. Rapid improvements in IT are forcing leaders to be more transparent, but this requires in turn a commitment to make information verifiable to employees and team members. Tomorrow's business leaders must be able to certify and validate reams of unsubstantiated information, and for this role the prerequisite is to be seen as someone who is trusted.
The key emotional chord in today's pharma workplace is to convey a sense of urgency. Time and space for action are compressing due to the impact of improvements in technology, accessibility of information, the globalization of competition, and a changing demographic of the market base. Complacency is a trait associated with older forms of organization linked to hierarchical decision-making and a command-and-control leadership style, when the prudent response for anyone with leadership aspirations was to defer and deliberate. That old strategy remains an option—old habits die hard, particularly the bigger the organization is—but fewer of those raised in the Internet age of instant access to information laced with opinion are likely to embrace it.
The talent pipeline is spouting in a different direction. Under previous generations, drug research and other good ideas germinated in "mature" markets, preferably the home office, with production and secondary services devolved to low-income countries. Looking forward, that pattern may well be reversed, which requires the ability to initiate, analyze, and execute around a global approach that can accommodate diverse cultures and perspectives on doing business. Do any of us realize that some Asian languages are lacking a definitive equivalent to the simple word "no?"
The real driver of "human resources" is the power of the personal connection. The tendency in Big Pharma has been to do precisely the opposite, turning the HR function into an information processing service that takes place mainly online. Many of our 30 leaders urged that management restore what is "human" about human resources, through a renewed emphasis on counseling and support for "soft" skills such as leadership training, talent development, and mentoring. One executive even noted that his best source of ideas and talent now comes from his own family, rather than the work peer group. Companies will have to foster new approaches to ensure these connections are incentivized to foster creativity within the ranks. It's preferable to all this collective—and capturable—energy being diverted to networked outside communities, whose numbers are multiplying and threaten to make Big Pharma appear isolated, lumbering, and irrelevant—and certainly not the place to take your new ideas.
The best innovations are often a consequence of a workplace failure. A repeated theme in the interviews is that good organizations impose no sanctions on failure. Making mistakes is "part of the job," and what counts is a willingness to reach beyond a presumed outcome to try something new. Management will need that approach to navigate through changes that are becoming harder to account for in advance.
One thing has not changed: There are few future leaders who can't cite passion as a factor that got them to where they are today. The lucrative pay in pharma is one thing, but if you are not fired up by the potential that working in this space has in improving the state of health for millions of patients, then perhaps a career in accounting is more appropriate.
—William Looney, Editor-in-Chief

One very simple request. When you post your question in this sub-forum, please write a title that is descriptive of the question.
Try to avoid titles like 'I need help' or 'Forests'.
Descriptive titles are helpful because others who may have the same problem as you will be able to find the information they are looking for quickly and people who know the answer to your question will not have to click into the thread to find out what your question is.
There will be occasional trawls through the subforum to rename non-descriptive titles, so if you can't find your original post, the chances are that the title to it has been changed.

Too cute Mary Lea. We just can't get enough when it comes to miniatures, and I think I get even more excited about them than my kids! :O
I am thinking about starting a dollhouse remodel and decorating project with my 7 year old (with my old wooden doll house, now hers). It even had electricity at one point and I'd sure love to have it put back into working order. Only problem is miniature collecting can be quite expensive and my real house always needs the attention more, Ha!
Still, maybe we will begin re-doing 1 room at a time...
Blessings, Joanna

Bring home this carrying case with four small puzzles inside. Here, Mila and her friends are dressed in fairy costumes with wings and magic wands. For preschoolers, present the simple 6-piece puzzle first. Then move on to the 9-piece puzzle. On another day, introduce the 12 and 16-piece puzzles. These are going to be challenging since the backs of the puzzles are not color-coded and the background on three of the four puzzles is the same. Parents will need to sort them out if the puzzles get mixed together. Each of the four puzzles comes in its own plastic baggie. They need to be kept separated. Naturally, they get progressively harder, so you may want to put the harder ones away and introduce them gradually. That said, the picture cues on the carrying case will help. Marked 3-6; but we think this will work best for 4's who have done lots of puzzles; not for beginners. Walter�s Scooter is another of the puzzle sets of four related puzzles.

With the snowpack out there, our location is still a bit in question, but plan A is to start our search in the vicinity of the Bob Marshall. You heading out for bear this spring?
A couple of Millennium M100 hang ons. Spent too much last year: new boots, new wool top and bottom, new pack, new spotting scope and tripod and one new feeder
What's on the shopping list- more appropriately for me what's not on the list. I am gearing up for my first western big game hunt this fall and most of my gear is old and better suited for the southeast US. So the list includes a day pack, binos, merino wool base layers, wool or performance outerwear, etc etc. Its going to be an expensive year.
this years gear has arrived: im a little excited havent spent this much on gear in long time i mean never.
-Ba ul fly creek3
-kelty ignite dridown 0deg bag
-10x42 swaro el's
-tundra boots from cabelas for alaska
-got some new kryptek last year and first lite merino wool
-J34 pack last year
I purchased the Perfect Hikers by Mendle from Cabelas, a Badlands Super Day Pack and Polar weight Polartek Power Dry base layers from Cabelas. Also their Wooltimate coat and pants. We hunted five days and this equipment was very adequate. We had temps as low as 10 degrees and very windy. I wore my muck boots when we had snow. Spent a lot of $'s but will use most of it in Mississippi. Their 10 degree days are equal to 25-30 here. Difference is you will dry completely out. Drink plenty of water and I used lotion. Fingers peeled for a week after I got home.

Think like a lifeguard this summer
1 2 3 Next page >
The rip currents off South Shore beaches that were predicted last weekend, courtesy of Hurricane Arthur, for the most part didn't show, but many others surely will this summer. The swimmers who have braved the ocean recently haven't ventured out far in water that's been 10 degrees colder than comfortable, but before long lifeguards will be whistling more people in toward shore and, when that action does not have the desired result, grabbing torpedo buoys, high-stepping through the surf and stroking out to rescue them.

Alexander Wang Uses Heat Technology to Wow Audiences at New York Fashion Week 2014
Posted By Taylor Weik On February 11, 2014 @ 1:05 am In Fashion | Comments Disabled
New York Fashion Week kicked off last week as designers and big brand names held runway shows for their fall/winter 2014 collections. While New York City's Lincoln Center is considered the central location for designer shows, this year Alexander Wang opted for an off-site location at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
On Saturday night, the 30 year-old Taiwanese-American fashion designer dragged his fashion crowd from the inner city out to an abandoned greenhouse on the water in Brooklyn. Fans, editors, photographers and celebrities braved hours in traffic to get to the remote site.
Wang debuted his collection with models sporting slick, parted do's and utilitarian looks. Show-goers took to their blogs and Twitters, noting the show's most exciting moment when a group of models stood in all-black clothing onstage, only to have the clothing magically turn into bright and vivid colors as a result of heat technology.
Sculpted dresses and coats, baggy trousers and backless boots added to the futuristic line.
Watch a first look of the show here:

Obamacare is Succeeding: 9 Million Have Registered For Health Insurance
Salvatore Aversa
January 15, 2014
Several weeks ago, OccupyDemocrats.com reported that, despite its rocky launch, it was very well possible that the Affordable Care Act would reach the CBOs estimate of 7 million people signing up for health insurance coverage. At the time, numbers were still uncertain because healthcare.gov only had one solid month of being fully operational. The 7 million number was expected to be reached by March. Today, it was reported that 9 million people have signed up for coverage, blowing away the experts estimates.
The Right is likely to spin the numbers as a failure, by pointing out how many older Americans signed up for coverage. The Affordable Care Act relies on younger, healthier adults to even out the poll and keep prices low. However, many of the adults that signed up for coverage also added their children to their policy. According to the Washington Post:
More than half of the almost 2.2 million people who bought health insurance on federal and state exchanges in the past three months are older than 45, records released Monday show.
Almost 1.2 million people have enrolled in private insurance through the federal health care exchange from Oct. 1 to Dec. 28, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said, and more than 1 million signed up in December alone.
Another 956,000 people have signed up for private insurance through state-based exchanges between Oct. 1 and Dec. 28, HHS records show.
About 55% of the early enrollees, Sebelius and other officials said, are between the ages of 45 and 64, an older group of people that often drive up health care costs.
Julie Bataille, spokeswoman for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, said 3.9 million people have signed up for Medicaid directly through the states, and that some of those enrollments are renewals. Combined with the young people still covered with their parents, that comes to 9 million people enrolled in private plans or Medicaid who may not have had the coverage before the 2010 passage of the Affordable Care Act.
In other words, the law is progressing exactly as planned with the ratio of young to older. Right now, an average of 26% who are purchasing insurance are below the age of 35. Special interest groups like Young Invincibles hope to sign up between 37% and 40% enrollees younger than 35.According to Aaron Smith, co-founder of Young Invincibles, I think where were at now shows that were on track for that. We saw huge numbers in December, compared to the previous months.The Federal Exchange is not the only place where enrollment is going up. State-run exchanges are also seeing increases across the United States. California is perhaps one of the best examples of a well run state exchange.
It all came down to the ratio. If 7 million people signed up for the exchanges as CBO predicted the Obama administration believed success meant ensuring about 2.7 million of them were young and healthy. If they got 10 million people to sign up, about 3.9 million had to be young and healthy. If they got 4 million to sign up, success would mean making sure 1.5 million were young and healthy.
Since the rocky rollout in October, the Obama Administration has been on a mission to see the Affordable Care Act succeed.When the CBO estimated 7 million enrollees, they were counting on healthcare.gov working from day one, as well as states expanding Medicaid and setting up their own insurance exchange. Unfortunately, that did not happen. All of the website issues are nearly resolved, but many Republicans are still abstaining from the expansion.With the success of the ACA, Republicans only stand to harm themselves. While ObamaCare is just one stop on the way to single-payer, the breaking of the CBO estimate 2 month before the open enrollment closes at the end of March is a major victory, not only for President Obama, but for the American people.VideoChris Hayes reported last weeks predictions were that 9 million people were able to receive coverage thanks to ObamaCare. Today, that number was verified.
Peter Lee, executive director of Californias health exchange, said younger Californians are enrolling at rates similar to their population.
California is also stepping up its advertising to younger people. On Thursday, it will start a YouTube campaign that uses comedians, celebrities and athletes to speak to young people about why health reform is so relevant to them. Though its led by California, the Tell A Friend, Get Covered campaign is nationwide.
Lee said the state will also focus on students returning to school after winter break. Its all part of building on the momentum that there has been already to enroll young people, he said.
Mondays news comes just after CMS announced it has replaced its lead contractor, CGI Federal, with Accenture. Accenture built Californias site, which has been leading enrollment numbers in the state exchanges.
Accentures been a very good partner for us, Lee said. Weve had bumps in the road, but its been a well-managed process.

In a letter to the U.S. Bureau of Land Management dated Nov. 25, the AMA complained that the federal agency may be exhibiting a bias against off-highway vehicles in a current effort to collect information related to permits for recreation on public land.
"At first glance, the information collection process appears to be an ideal avenue for the Bureau of Land Management to learn first-hand how popular responsible motorized recreation and competitive events are on our nation's public lands," wrote Wayne Allard, AMA vice president for government relations.
"Recreation and competitive events are important drivers of local economies," he wrote. "They provide sustainable employment, economic growth and have a positive effect on other administration-stated goals, such as addressing childhood obesity."
However, Allard went on to say that the AMA is troubled that the BLM, in its document, only pointed its finger at OHVs when discussing potential damage to resources and loss of revenue if recreational uses of public land aren't managed.
"The BLM should include mountain bike, equestrian, the Burning Man or other events when referencing potential damage to resources and loss of revenue," Allard wrote.
"The BLM should adhere to a fair treatment process for all permit and recreation type applications," he wrote. "Currently, this document infers a prejudicial mindset by the BLM toward the OHV community with regard to special use permits."
The BLM manages about 245 million acres of public land nationwide, primarily in 12 western states.

1930 Ford Roadster - Double HeaderWritten by on December 1, 2007 Contributors: Kevin Lee A Megaphone Quartet Announces This Roadster's Arrival
For some guys, it's enough to build one project in their lifetime, while for others there's a succession of cars all based on the same model. You know, guys who have built a bunch of '32s for instance. Then there are those guys who just love building for the pleasure of it, and relish the challenge of different models, even cars from different eras and build styles. Mick Rau falls very definitely into that latter category, having built-and still owning-a '50 Merc custom, a '39 Ford Tudor, a '40 coupe (with sedan doors and slanted B-pillars), and putting together a '53 Chevy convertible for his wife Joan's 50th birthday.
This Model A is the earliest body style Mick has tackled, a project he pried from his cousin Glenn Kleffman's possession after a year of persuasion. "I build a different project every two or three years for a hobby and a challenge," Mick told us. "Glenn had this roadster in his garage for around five years and never seemed to find the time to start on it. He finally decided I had more time than he did."
The roadster originally left the factory as a coupe, and its conversion hadn't exactly been done with finesse, or as Mick diplomatically put it, "It had some unusual workmanship that I knew needed to be changed." At one time, what appeared to be exhaust tubing had been used on the top edges of the doors and rear quarters, and those quarters had received plenty of patchwork too. The body had had the rear fenders welded on to it, with front fenders that had cutouts in them to accommodate a Mustang II IFS, all mounted to an original Model A frame. Mick's pal Harold Shuman exchanged a stock '32 chassis, a Mor-Drop axle, and some rough but salvageable roadster quarters for some bodywork on his '32 five-window, providing a good foundation for the roadster's transformation. Meanwhile, more panel beating on another '32 brought payment in the form of an original '32 grille and a '51 Ford pickup dash.
Mick wasted no time and dove straight in, performing his own chassis work and body modifications, as well as paint and wiring, having the project completed in a little more than 18 months. The aforementioned Harold Shuman assisted with some machine work, as did Joan with moral support. Those with a supportive significant other will know the benefit of this!
Now, Mick's a tall fellow, and the Model A was never known for its legroom, so he got a little creative while the body was in pieces, and added an extra 6 inches in the doors, balancing that out by shifting the Model A front crossmember forward in the '32 frame by 3 inches. Pushing the rear axle back 2 inches meant the wheelbase was now stretched by 5 inches; and with the body mounted 2 inches to the rear to align with the rearend, he put the Cooper radial-shod Wheel Vintiques steelies squarely in the fender reveal, making room up front for that 348ci W-block given up by a long-forgotten '58 Chevy.
According to the story Mick heard, Jerry and Larry Owen from Blair, Nebraska, bought the motor in 1963 and installed it in a '55 or '56 Chevy drag race car, then promptly blew it up at the Winternationals in Phoenix that year. They took it to Jahns Custom Piston where it received some machining and head work before returning to Blair, where it sat, disassembled, until 2001. It then passed into the hands of Mike Wohlhutter, who assembled it and planned on slipping it under the hood of a '64 Biscayne. Mick bought the car just to get his hands on the 348, and sold the rest. Seems the 40-odd-year slumber didn't do any harm, as Mick put 350 miles on the odometer in the month it had been on the road before we caught up with him at the Americruise, the old W-block now destined for a quieter life than when it was tearing up the strip. Or maybe we should say it's enjoying a more sedate life rather than "quieter," as it's still plenty noisy thanks to Mick's homemade four-megaphone header system, featuring small baffles in each 'phone.
Rod & Custom Feature Car
Mick Rau
Council Bluffs, Iowa
1930 Ford roadster
A pair of original '32 Ford 'rails forms the basis of Mick's roadster, with a Model A front crossmember mounted 3 inches farther forward than stock, and 1-inch box section steel replacing the stamped central X-member. The rear framehorns were bobbed, the 'rails were pinched to better fit the Model A body, and the wheelbase was stretched 5 inches. Mick used an original Mor-Drop '40 Ford I-beam and '40 spindles, coupled with a leaf spring and gas shocks from Speedway Motors to support the frontend, along with a split '40 wishbone, in which he drilled oval holes for appearance. Finned Buick drums were mated to '40 Ford brakes. A Vega-style steering box from Flaming River takes care of directional duties. As with the frontend, drilled '40 Ford radius rods locate the 3.55:1-geared Ford Maverick 8-inch hung on a '40 Ford transverse spring.
The '58 vintage Mike Wohlhutter-assembled 348ci W-block is pretty stock internally, with just a 0.030 overbore and the addition of a Crane solid lifter cam. Polished Offenhauser valve covers flank an aluminum intake (of an unknown make), atop which is a 600-cfm Holley lurking under a '56 Olds air cleaner. Stock points and Taylor wires light the fire, with cooling provided by a copper U.S. Radiator. Mick fabbed his own headers using Speedway-sourced materials; 1 1/2-inch ID tubing and 2- to 4-inch megaphones. Backing the 348 is an '87 S-10 five-speed, rebuilt by Mick and his cousin, Jeff.

Wheel Vintiques supplied the 15x5 and 15x7 Series 62 steel wheels, which are wrapped in 165/80 and 255/70 radial rubber and dressed with trim rings and chrome lug nuts.
Body & Paint
Starting with a "pretty rough" conversion of a coupe into a roadster, Mick had his work cut out for him, replacing the rear quarters with useable roadster versions, and replacing the exhaust tubing that had been used to form the cockpit perimeter. Once the roadster was in useable shape, Mick set about modifying it to suit his decidedly roadster-unfriendly tall frame, lengthening the doors by 6 inches and adding a narrowed dash from a '51 Ford pickup. Also from that '51 truck is the gas tank, narrowed 6 inches and mounted behind the seat. Harley-Davidson 90th anniversary drab olive green was chosen to cover the extensive body prep, a PPG product applied by the owner, while the various parts chosen for chrome plating were shipped to Industrial Plating in Omaha, Nebraska. Early Ford truck headlights now light the way at night above a camshaft spreader bar, with '50 Pontiac items bringing up the rear.
There's not much to mention when it comes to a bare-bones interior, and this 'un is no exception! The third-row seat from an '87 Chevy van now provides creature comforts, covered with an Indian blanket. A rubber mat covers the floor, and a '39 banjo wheel tops a homemade stainless-shrouded steering column. The vinyl door panels were once shower stall panels, and the early '60s seatbelts were found lying around Mick's garage, while the '39 Ford shifter wears a knob from an early Peterbilt truck.

Anyone handled one of these?
Trying to keep every NEW scope I have from being more than $3000.
Anyone handled one of these?
Trying to keep every NEW scope I have from being more than $3000.
Edelweiss, that scope is getting lukewarm reviews, but comes in the reticle you like.
This scope gets top notch reviews:
I saw that too, but what I think it really boils down to is reviewer knowledge.
I know quite a few mlitary snipers and F-Class shooters that have reviewed it and liked it. Bushnell is really trying hard to back it, and the customer service on them has been stellar.
The other 34mm scopes are twice to three times as much.
The Bushy comes in the Horus reticles from Horus or Larue tactical.
I can get the 34mm Leupold for $2200 in the TreMor.
Bushnell has good customer service?
You don't hear that too often. I hope they have improved.
It is the most expensive scope they have ever made, and they had to break the mold designing it as it is a 34mm FFP scope. It is also only 12 or 13 inches long without the sunshade. So it's shorter than a lot of their 3-9 1 inch scopes are.
One of the folks that I know that has them says he was really impressed until he saw how the turret didn't line up with the clicks. He called them to discuss the problem and they paid shipping both ways and he had his (same scope) back within 6 days.
I am not a SEAL, Ranger or anything like that. I used to be a armorer in a special operations unit, but I want to quantify that by saying I am not a special operations kind of guy.
In the 4 years in that unit I saw every kind of high dollar scope you can think of Hendsoldt and Ziess 34mm, Schmidt Bender, Leupold, Nightforce and US Optics. Well all the ones that are available for military purchase because the company didn't sell something to an Enemy.
I have sent a lot of equipment back and forth between our shop and the above companies. All of them have good customer service, to me I am kind of like Tommy Boy, I can take a pile of elk crap and put it in a box with an awesome guarantee or produce quality.
Ziess/Hendsolt and Schmidt produce quality, we rarely ever sent anything to them. Leupold makes good stuff, but not like the other two. The other two well, we used UPS a lot. Now that Trijicon and Leupold have scopes in the same price category as Ziess/Hendsolt and Schmidt it will be interesting to see how they do.
I have a military deal on buying a Leupold 34mm at a much reduced cost, but Trijicon doesn't offer that kind of program.
I can also get a Ziess at much reduced cost including the 4-24x72 34mm scope. But I don't like the reticles it comes in. They don't work with my balistic solver system.
I have a couple feelers out, I want to know more about the Bushnell. It has a lot of good stuff going on with it.
Then again, everyone gets tired of a elk crap in a box no matter how good the guarantee is.
This guy knows his stuff, and doesn't have an agenda:
I think the Razor HD would also be a good choice for you, and they have a nice grid reticle.
Is the 34mm tube a feature you want?
Good find,
No, the 34mm is a wash. Nice to have that much more elevation and windage (if they put it in there), but what I really want is the Tremor or Horus h58 reticle, and a sound tough optic, with good light transmission, and accurate tracking in windage and elevation.
Everyone that I shoot F-Class with has a Nightforce or a March.
March is probably the least impressive high dollar scope I have ever seen.
What didn't you like about the March? Was it the benchrest model or tactical? I recently saw the 10x erector tactical March (the 2.5-25 model), and thought it was the single nicest riflescope I have seen. I could not figure out how they got such an outstanding image in such a high erector ratio. Funny how people see things differently.
The author of that comparison is an optical engineer and dedicated rifle shooter.
Is the Razor HD's reticle not to your liking?
I wonder why you want so much elevation adjustment when you will be using solely the reticle for holds?
Perhaps you should take a look at a Premier Reticles Scope. They have most of the features you want.

We're All Teachers, Really

Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin hit it right on the nose — though he didn't hit it very hard — in one of his inauguration speech comments about school reform in West Virginia....
schools worked better when parents did actual parenting and paddles were part of the curriculum.the lawyers ruined the schools.we've been sliding downhill ever since.

Yes we are; SCHOOL MATH 101: we only have 180 school days to teach. Year round school is STILL 180 just different day. NO HOMEWORK policies, mainly for lower level students [ well, they fail because they dont do the homework! actual school policy] wont work. 45 mins/day is not enough in our society where knowledge doubles three times in a lifetime. So since I was in elementary school in the 1950s, knowledge has doubled. Class time has shrunk, homework/study hall/etc. have vanished. No wonder scores drop.

New Orleans BP is trying to persuade a federal appeals court that it should throw out a judge's approval of the company's multibillion-dollar settlement related to the Gulf oil spill if a separate appeal is unsuccessful.
Last year, BP joined plaintiffs' attorneys in urging U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier to give the deal his final approval. On Friday, however, the company's lawyers argued in a court filing that Barbier's more recent interpretation of settlement terms have allowed businesses to receive hundreds of millions of dollars for inflated or fictitious claims.
In July, BP asked a three-judge panel from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to overturn Barbier's rulings governing business payouts.
BP says it would still support Barbier's approval of the settlement if that separate appeal is successful.

The TYMA Garamont Roman was inspired by the Berner-Egenolff type sample from the 1560s. The Italic was inspired by a sample from Robert Granjon, also from the 1560s. The name TYMA is short for AB Typmatriser, a Swedish company founded 1948, because the Second World War stopped all import of matrices for Linotype and Intertype typesetting machines. It took until 1951-52 before the import was up to speed again. Until then, Sweden had to fend for itself. More…

I change the sort order of my folders to "Received Ascending", means i will have the newest messages at the bottom and the oldest on top.

2008 Brothers Classic Chevy & GMC Truck Show & Shine - Brothers Show & ShineWritten by on October 1, 2008 10th Annual GMC & Chevy Spectacular
Without a doubt, one of the best trucks-only shows on the West Coast is the Brothers Classic Chevy & GMC Truck Show & Shine held in Corona, California. For 2008 the Brothers show celebrated its 10th year with a turnout that defied record-high gasoline prices, and pulled in entrants from all over the Western states who had to contend with everything from freak summer rainstorms to forest fires.
Since this issue of Custom Classic Trucks is dedicated to the '47- 55 1st Series Advance Design line of General Motors trucks, one will notice there is a heavy concentration of A-Ds in the coverage on these pages. As always, the NAPCO Owners Group turned out in force with a squadron of incredibly detailed NAPCOs, including Bruce Michaels' under-construction '51 Chevy five-window half-ton with a NAPCO Mountain Goat A-D conversion under it. On the lowered, as in "slammed," side of the scale, every style of A-D Chevy and GMC was present-from "street rods" and "hot rods," and "farm trucks," to "bombs" laid out on hydraulics. As this story is going to press the show results aren't up, but by the time this issue hits the newsstands the folks at Brothers will have them at www.brotherstrucks.com.

This month signals the arrival of new political leadership in China, as President Xi Jinping and his six colleagues on the ruling Politburo Standing Committee begin a mandate likely to last for the next decade. With health reform already tagged as a key domestic priority, their policies will pose new opportunities and challenges for Big Pharma companies active in China. In the following feature, experts from the Boston Consulting Group highlight the importance of building a customized market strategy that reflects the actual environment rather than assumptions reflective of the HQ culture at home—a rule that works not just in China but in all the major emerging country markets.
—William Looney, Editor-in-Chief
China sets the standard
The complex balance between opportunity and challenges in China underscore what is at stake. Industry sales in China have gone from just $8 billion in 2000, when it was the 10th largest market, to $48 billion in 2010, making it the number four market that year. By 2016, sales in China are projected to hit $139 billion, surpassing Japan to take the number two position globally.
A number of factors will continue to drive China's expanding demand for pharmaceuticals. The Chinese population is aging, contributing, along with lifestyle changes, to a rise in chronic illnesses. Consider that by 2020 one in three adults in China will have hypertension and one in 10 will have type 2 diabetes. Growing wealth in China—by 2020 the affluent and middle class population will triple from 142 million to 401 million—will support more healthcare spending as well.
At the same time healthcare reform in China is also driving expansion of the market. The 2009 reform plan extended medical coverage to rural and urban unemployed populations; poorer groups previously had to pay out of pocket for medical care. The change has created a new market for pharmaceuticals consisting of urban community health centers and rural county and township hospitals, one that will grow faster than the core market and potentially represent roughly 40 percent of the total Chinese market by 2020.
Such dynamics have led pharmaceutical companies to move aggressively into China—efforts that until now have been largely successful. It was not surprising to see some of the leading global pharmaceutical companies in China generate annual revenue growth rates in the neighborhood of 30 percent to 40 percent in the last decade. That growth was driven by a rapid expansion of field forces, with the number of combined sales reps for the top seven multinational companies soaring from 2,400 in 2002 to 18,400 by 2011.
Changing price points
The future, however, looks to be markedly different—despite the strong demographic underpinnings, growth rates for multinational pharmaceutical companies are likely to slow as pricing pressures mount. Until now, the Chinese government has set generous reimbursement policies aimed at encouraging investment by multinational pharmaceutical firms. It's not uncommon to see prices for products sold by those multinationals set at two to three times the Chinese GMP (guaranteed maximum price) for primary care products, or five to six times higher in the case of oncology and specialty care drugs. Going forward, however, as China tries to improve the affordability of medicines, the government is expected to push for price reductions of at least 15 percent every two to three years on off-patent products. If that policy is implemented successfully, the impact on multinationals will be significant: nine out of the top 10 multinational pharmaceutical companies in China have between 70 percent to 90 percent of their revenue coming from off-patent products.

Fort Wayne, IN (Sports Network) - Mario Hines made a go-ahead layup with two
seconds left to lift the IUPU-Fort Wayne Mastodons to a 57-56 decision over
the Miami-Ohio Redhawks, 57-56, in a non-conference bout at the Memorial
Joe Edwards scored a team-high 10 points off the bench, but was the only
player in double figures for IPFW (5-4). Hines, Frank Gaines, and Michael
Kibiloski contributed nine points a piece. Hines also grabbed a team-high
seven rebounds in the win, which has won three of its last four outings.
For the Redhawks (3-3), Will Felder scored a game-high 15 points to go with
eight rebounds. Allen Roberts added 11 points in the setback.
Miami opened the first half on a 16-6 run and took a 32-22 advantage into
the break. The Mastodons struggled on the offensive end and converted a mere
8-of-26 attempts from the floor.
IPFW came out strong in the second half and made 13-of-24 attempts
from the field, while limiting the Redhawks to 6-of-16 field goals makes.
After Hines's layup but the Mastodons up 57-56 with two seconds left, Felder
missed a potential game-winning three-point attempt at the buzzer.
The Mastodons managed to pull out the victory despite making only 10-of-21
attempts at the charity stripe.

|City Council looks at possible expenses for upcoming budget, municipal codes
|Written by Kyle Arnoldy
For the past few years, the Municipal Energy Agency of Nebraska, whom Holyoke receives a portion of its power from, has been sending power across the state lines without paying the transmission rate. This information was announced at the Tuesday, Oct. 1 Holyoke City Council meeting.
Because MEAN failed to pay the transmission tariff, the members of MEAN are now responsible for the back payments that total roughly $6.25 million. Each member's percentage of payments is prorated based on megawatt use.
Holyoke's portion of the tariff will be $483.18 a month spread out over five years with no interest. While the additional costs were not anticipated during budgeting, Holyoke City Superintendent Mark Brown said it is a minor monthly fee for the city.
Payments for the tariff will begin in April 2014.
Council discusses problems on Sherman Avenue
The condition of the south end of Sherman Avenue was discussed at length during Tuesday's council meeting.
While council members acknowledged that the road needs repairs, Brown also voiced his opinion on the drainage problems that contributed to the decay of the road. Because the road has no curb nor gutters, the asphalt is in a vulnerable position where it can be more easily damaged from runoff.
Three corners along the road have trouble draining, causing water to collect. Brown said the corner of Melissa Lane and Sherman Avenue drains so poorly that the drain is constantly full of water. Brown stated that he thinks a storm sewer would help and was insistent that curbing and gutters would go a long way.
Brown estimates that it will cost between $30,000-$40,000 to fix the street, not including the curb, gutter and storm sewer. With that type of money being used for repairs, Brown added that the curb, gutter and asphalt inclusion is important as to not waste money repairing a street that will be destroyed again in 10 years.
An obstacle in the way of repairing the road is the fact that the west edge of the road is technically outside of city limits. One plan Brown mentioned that had been discussed in the past involves entering an agreement with the landowners on the street for the city to pay for the costs, but in the future if the area is developed and included in city limits, landowners would have to reimburse the city.
No action was taken on the issue, but it will be returned as budgeting approaches.
Addressing municipal code
Holyoke's First Baptist Church recently applied for a permit to construct a sign in front of their building.
Unfortunately for the church, a municipal code put into place within the past 10 years limits the size of signs in residential areas to 6 square feet, much smaller than the anticipated area of 18 feet long by 15 feet high. The sign will sit alongside a bell tower.
The ordinance was initially adopted for the purpose of limiting the size of signs for home occupants.
While city council members estimated at the Tuesday meeting that every church in the city has a sign much bigger than the approved dimensions, those signs were constructed before the ordinance had been put into place.
With the code in place, the only action council members could take was to send the church to the variance board for approval. While no changes were made to the ordinance, council members have opened discussion on the topic for possible revision.
Officials report
Brown reported that the water department has been busy over the past week as they had to deal with two water mains breaking.
The first call came in Friday, Sept. 27 at 8:15 p.m. for a broken water main in the 200 block of South Worley Avenue. Crews worked until 2 a.m. to repair the water main.
A second water main broke Sunday, Sept. 29 in the 700 block of East Emerson Street at approximately 8:45 a.m. It took crews until about 1:30 p.m. to repair the main.
Holyoke also received the most recent waste water permit from the state of Colorado. The state is actually two years behind with issuing the permits as Holyoke just received its permit for 2012.
The permit came with some changes that will affect how the city budgets next year. One issue is that it must be determined if the clay liners in the sewer ponds seep. To determine this, an engineer must be hired.
Brown also informed council members that he is looking for bids to rebuild the city pole shed that was destroyed in the April snowstorm. The pole shed will be moved to the east edge of the property, which is located about one quarter mile south on Phillips County Road 41.
Holyoke Police Chief Doug Bergstrom reported that between Sept. 12-25, the department generated 58 calls for service, wrote five reports and issued nine warnings. He also informed council members that two people had been bitten by one dog on the morning of Tuesday, Oct. 1. One of the bites was fairly severe and the dog was impounded but has since been returned to the owner.
Other business
In other business Oct. 1, the council:
—approved travel request for Sergeant Damon Ellis and Officer Dwight Thompson to attend an officer down class in Fort Morgan.
—renewed a liquor license for Hometown Liquor.
—agreed to purchase a commercial-grade safety cover from In The Swim to cover the baby pool at a cost of $1,069.99.
—approved travel request for the office staff to attend the 2013 PowerManager Refresher Course in North Platte, Neb., Oct. 16-17.
—passed Resolution No. 4-2013 to authorize a coordinated election to determine ballot issues regarding term limits and lodging tax on Nov. 5.
—agreed to leave the business lease of Veronica's Hair & Nail Salon at $200 a month.
—approved purchase of four rims and tires for a road grader from Woody's Pivot Service for $2,985.
—entered into executive session for 35 minutes to discuss personnel matters.

Watch the video on the right for more detailed information.
Understanding Your LSAT Score
When you receive your LSAT score, it will include the following:
- One overall score ranging from 120-180
- A "score band"a range of scaled scores above and below your score
- A percentile score, ranking your performance relative to the scores of a large sample population of other LSAT test takers
Watch the video for more detailed information on score bands, percentile ranks, and more.
Receiving Your LSAT Score
If you registered through the LSAC website, you'll receive your score via email approximately 3 weeks after the test. Your score is only released to you and the law schools to which you applied.
You can also receive your score via TelScore. LSAT TelScore provides your score and percentile rank for the most recently administered test, but not for previous tests. To use TelScore, call 215-968-1200. You'll need your Social Security number or Law Services I.D. number, a personal identification number (PIN) and your credit card. You will be charged $10 for the service.
Canceling Your LSAT Score
You have 5 business days after you take the LSAT to cancel your score. If you take the exam more than once, Law Services reports the average score, each separate score, and each cancellation. Most schools will not question one cancellation on your record; but will question multiple ones. Also, you may not take the LSAT more than 3 times in any 2-year period.
Should I cancel my LSAT score?
You shouldn't take the decision to cancel your score lightly. In fact, there are usually only 2 valid reasons to cancel your score: Test day factors affected your experience or you were inadequately prepared.
Nervousness is usually not a valid reason to cancel. Most students are just as nervous—if not more—on their second attempt. Being nervous is normal…and even healthy.

Using an online pharmacy equals more free time
Helping my grandma
I have a grandmother who lives alone and needs a little assistance from time to time. Well, I require more time for me too, she knew that at one time we talked about exactly how can we clear things a bit better for each other. One time when I was in the local pharmacy I saw an advertisement with their web site on it.
The online pharmacy we used is more than what we anticipated
We took a seat together and looked into for the pharmacy online. We were actually grateful to choose from out that they were taking on an online order. We searched and chose from that the online pharmacy had plenty on its hands to offer. There were types of delivery, which the one was totally complimentary and the order would take 3-4 days and the other one for a little quantity of money was quick provided that will arrive at the door the other day even if you order it during the night.
The online version provided us 3 kinds of payment credit card, debit card even with a Paypal account. It was a discount that If she gets 10 prescription medicines she we get 5$ to utilize for everything se wanted from the online pharmacy but she required a card which the pharmacy gives it by joining the website which we already did so we purchased those 10 medications and she got her 5$.
Not just the online version offers medication with prescription however also makes the understanding, another 3-4 hours conserved for not going to the physician to offer her understanding. I was so relieved with all of these things that I discovered that day because it conserved me a lot of time and my grandmother was delighted too due to the fact that she never ever desired to alter that pharmacy, but when she saw that they were the very same, that she might save money which there would be more time for me it sufficed evidence to buy medicine online.
From now on I will inform to everybody I understand who needs a medicine that online pharmacy is the finest selection for them and that they can conserve cash, time for not going to get a prescription, on time quick distribution and that they accept the insurance coverage.
I have a granny who lives alone and requires a little assistance from time to time. My moms and dads can t be much of a help because they are on the road all the time and I like my granny a lot, so I am always there for her I can say she is my favored person and I love her really much. Well, I require more time for me too, she understood that at one time we talked about exactly how can we clear things a little bit better for each other. One time when I was in the local pharmacy I saw an advertisement with their website on it.

Thoughts on last night? Clearly the Villians showed the Heros who is in control of the game now after the merge.
Go Cubs Go!
Parvati just gained a ton of respect in my book. Not only did she know not to trust Amanda, she knew who the targets were, saved them, and got the lead for the Villains. She even pulled one on Russel. If she wins it, she deserves it.
That was crazy last night. I couldn't not believe Pavarit gave both idols away. That took guts. Not sure if you watched the preview for next week but it looks like Sandra is going to go to the Heroes and try to vote off Russell. Also Russell is scared ******** about what is going on. Can't wait for next week.

"Don't look back. Something might be gaining on you."
-Satchel Paige
Parv made a great move but I think Sandra is still ticked at Russell taking out Rob and will try to get him out next week.
That was the best strategic move I've seen in survivor and one of the better tribal councils ever too. The look on the heroes faces when she handed Jerry the idol was priceless. If Russell and Parvati get through next week then I think Parvati wins it.
If they're showing Russel might be leaving, he won't be. They always talk something up like that.
I hope Russel can go with the flow a little bit because he is a control freak. If he can chill and keep the team with parvity till 5 or 4 people he won't always automatically be the big target
I thought that was a great move. I wish Parv would have just given Jerri an idol and not Sandra. I cannot stand her.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Benjamin Franklin 1775
All idols are out now....game on.
I like JT a lot, but he deserved what he got. he should have just kept to himself and busted his butt in the immunity challaenge.
The only way it could have been better was if after giving away both idols, she stripped and did a naked dance.
It was one crazy show. I don't think I could have pulled off the double idol move, even with knowing that they weren't voting for me. But, like mentioned above, she just earned a lot of credits with people on the jury / soon to be on the jury if she sticks around until the end.
usually don't chime in on these but because of JT's stupidity I had to.
Liked him but he threw around his young *** like he was a Survivor know it all and got schooled by people on their 3rd show.
I am surprised that no one brought up blindsiding the control freak.
I also think that maybe Parvati was not as smart as we give her credit but that maybe her old showmate and horseface hero might have shared with her that Jerry would be the "real" target and thus the ido giveaway
Making a difference everyday!
They weren't going to blindside the control freak because they wanted to make sure he was / wasn't on there side, hence voting for someone other than who they said they were going to, thus how Parv got the idea as to who to gives the idols to.

Then she wouldn't have given out both.
Russell and Parvati in the finals. I really think they are best slimey people left in the game and will win.
Nobody but HB knows for sure. You pretty much know nothing....like Knownothing would like to say.

Seen Any Good Books Lately?
Wondering what a book is all about? One way to find out is to check out a book trailer. Book trailers are short, 1-3 minute, movies that give you a feel for what a book is about without giving away the ending. The trailer below is for Love, Stargirl, a popular Young Adult novel.
If you want to watch more books, these sites have more book trailers.
