Take a deep breath and know that stress causes inflammation and mood sensitivity. For me it does!
I had to give up high quality meats or rather the dream of only buying from a local farm. Oh well, there are worse things!
Take a deep breath and know that stress causes inflammation and mood sensitivity. For me it does!
I had to give up high quality meats or rather the dream of only buying from a local farm. Oh well, there are worse things!
I told Boyfriend that I'm feeling down and having joint pain and he offered to give me a massage later. He's given me a couple lately and it's been a really nice way to connect with him before I go to bed, even if we don't have time to talk much after he gets home from work. Made me so happy to read his text that I'm nearly crying! Ugh, maybe it's just hormones. If it is, it's new for me to get this down just a couple days before my period. For the past few months, it's been a week-long ordeal. Maybe that's what the anxiety was. Here's hoping it picks up in the next couple of days.
If you need me, I can talk via text.
I wouldn't worry too much about the friend. She may actually have a form of social anxiety herself. I know I tend to get anxious when I know I'm meeting someone, even an old friend. Keep reaching out to her in the ways that don't make you hyperventilate and if she doesn't respond, the ball's in her court.
(I'm also really bad about getting together unless you can corral me and nail down a time. It pretty much takes "Wanna do lunch on [x day]?" for it to process.That may be the way she is.)
Stress causes inflammation, inflammation causes stress, and round robin it goes. Take Boyfriend up on his offer and try not to overly worry about funds. (I know, pot, meet kettle.) Stay cheap, but don't freak.
+1 to the coffee date offer with specific available dates. I am still smiling about ours.
I know it doesn't change how you feel about yourself, but I think you are beautiful inside and out. (And I have met you in person)
You have my cell too if talking to an older woman would help. I too have phone anxiety (stupid asperger's syndrome) so we can stutter and have awkward silences with each other. Or just text.
Thinking of you and wishing I could do more.
You guys rule. I love my MDA support network. I was so hyper-emotional last night that seeing your comments made me tear up. It's nice getting the warm-and-fuzzies, but I'd really rather have a calmer response!
I retreated in on myself last night. Didn't do much. Read, for the most part (finished a book that arrived earlier this month, started on the one that arrived yesterday [Dresden Files]). Didn't eat much, mostly walnut halves and an apple. Boyfriend took me out to buy his groceries and he made me eat some leftover chicken he'd cooked up for lunches. I don't know if it was that or the overall bad feelings, but I didn't fall asleep until he joined me sometime after midnight. Then I woke up way too early, mostly due to the damn cat rustling around. She doesn't jump onto the bed, she [I]climbs[/I] it and it always wakes me up, having her claw at the side of the bed. I wish I could train her out of that, but I have no idea how. She used to jump up, but I think she finds climbing easier.
TMI: The itching is still coming and going. I'm fed up with it. Did my body adjust to the oil of oregano and pau d'arco in just a couple of weeks? I'm eating WELL dammit! No sugar in several days! I hate to spend more money right now, or miss work for an appointment, even if it's for a doctor, but I think I need to. The sooner I get all this on the mend, the sooner I'll feel better all around!
Food: Breakfast this morning was unsweetened pumpkin mug cake (coconut flour adds enough sweet flavor for me) and 3 eggs over easy. My small cast iron pan is doing so well, but I need to re-season the bottom because there are some rust marks. They wipe off, but probably shouldn't be developing in the first place. The large pan is still just generally shitty. I'm getting to the point where I think I'll scrub/clean the crap out of it again and try re-seasoning. I know opinions vary widely on what oil/fat to use. If I had lard, I'd use that. I wonder if grocery store lard would be good for it, since it's hydrogenated (unstable fats are supposedly the best?). I wonder if the sugar in the bacon grease is what messed it up. Anyway, lunch today is boring old canned sardines (in olive oil). Dinner will be chicken & broc. I will be cooking it in the skin, but removing it before eating because it makes my joints hurt. I might cook a few batches so I have some ready to go with breakfast or for more substantial lunches.
Exercise: Shoulder is better. Joints are better. I should get back on some bodyweight exercises. I still want abs! I'm still really surprised at the visible muscle mass I seem to have retained despite not working out regularly for a while now. Thanks, good food!
Supplements: I forgot to bring my Vitamin C to work. I now have enough measuring spoons and containers of buffered Vitamin C powder that I can leave some at work. I hope this doesn't mess up my elimination "cycle" too badly by missing my mid-day dose.
Mood/brain: I felt hyper-emotional this morning, but after handling a remote virus infection (tricky! couldn't get to any sites that would allow me to help the user, but we figured it out and it's running one final scan now), I feel a bit calmer. This set me back on setting up a new Windows 7 image for a local user, however, so I feel kind of bad about that. I don't know if this guy doesn't like me or it's just the way he speaks/emotes, but I am not looking forward to telling him I'm not done and don't have an ETA (stuck waiting for updates to finish installing). Boyfriend said that if I have another bad-brain day, I should text him and he'll take breaks to talk to me or text me while he's at work. <3
It's nosebleed season and I am prone to them. I have had a few over the past week (once while out with my dad, but fortunately he always has a handkerchief with him...and he has a lot, because I ruined that one), including just now. I need to swipe some toilet paper from the bathroom here at work, or bring in some tissues, so I'm not running around with my nose in the air or pinching my nose while I dash to the restroom. I will see if there's a way to arrange a bowl of water on the radiator in our bedroom to humidify the air overnight. I don't have the money to spend on a real humidifier and I hate how the vapor gets the floor wet. Once I'm at least one day clear without any nosebleeds, I'll start using the Neti Pot in the morning, too (I don't want to use it while something is still healing, in case it reopens a wound). If I use it consistently, I'm hoping it will help keep things clear and help with allergies. I've never used it for more than a few days in a row, I think.
I want to read that book!
Hopefully sooner than later - but we'll see I guess. There are plenty of other books to read in the meantime!
I finally got the motivation to finish the other book I was reading because I told myself I could not read two books at once (done it before, the plots got mixed around in my head). I enjoyed the other book, just didn't think I felt like reading (that was WRONG).
My joints started hurting within the past hour. Haven't tested knees, but my hands are bugging me. I had the sardines for lunch. Maybe I should try something PUFA-free for lunch to see if it's PUFA in general, and not omega-6, that's being problematic for me right now.
Boyfriend suggested last night that we make a Friday dinner & movie thing with our friend (the one Boyfriend is working/carpooling with, Boyfriend's best friend of 14 yrs, practically a brother). Boyfriend said I should pick the food since my diet ruled out any of their ideas. Sigh. I don't like having that kind of pressure on me. The only idea I have right now is roasted veggies, potatoes (sweet for me), and some kind of meat. Chicken is always good, I guess. Breading it would be nice, but I don't know if the coconut flour would taste too sweet and my gluten-free crumbs are rice based. I'll need to go get fresh broc and potatoes for roasting, but we have turkey breast, thighs, and quarters.
Good luck with the dinner plans. I hope you find something you can all enjoy. :)
Sorry about the nosebleeds. That's got to suck. I hope you can find a way to get it under control. What about regular saline nasal spray?
I hope your mood perks up a little. I know that hyperemotional feeling. It sucks.

In today's digital world, all communication is not created equal. Choosing the right Email Marketing Service Provider can help to ensure that the content you send out is effective for your readers.
Email Marketing Service Providers (ESPs) give their users a platform to create email campaigns to send to content subscribers. Unlike single-user/small-scale email providers like Gmail and Yahoo! Mail, Email Marketing Providers provide strategic frameworks to manage large subscription lists, suggested templates and customization abilities, and metrics to measure results.
Email allows you to connect with your audience anytime, anywhere. It helps you share content that pulls readers in to your website and helps to build your brand. And even though email is a slower means of communication than social media, companies that embrace it as a strategic engagement tool are realizing huge benefits from email campaigns every day.
A Simple Tactic to Increase Email Subscribers to Your Blog
Email Marketing Best Practices
All emails are not created equal. There are several important things to remember when creating your messages:
- Apply Content Marketing principles. Provide your readers with the information they need and want. According to CM master Jonah Berger (@j1berger), content should be public and worth sharing (social currency), create top of mind awareness, generate emotional reaction, and provide utility and value. Stories are also a great way to wrap information into an easily read and remembered format.
- Pick a good subject line. Provide a concise, appropriate subject line that summarizes your content well. Keep it to 50 words or less and avoid three words that have been shown to trigger disregard: "Help", "Percent Off", and "Reminder".
- Use your best timing. Research has shown that emails sent at night are more likely to draw engagement and that weekends dominate in open and clickthrough rates. Frequency is also important. Too many emails will cause readers to unsubscribe, but too few won't allow you to build your brand. In the end, use research as a guideline to time your emails, but be sure to conduct testing to figure out what's best for your audience.
- Embrace mobile. A study by Litmus found that 48% of emails are opened on mobile devices. You should be sure to design emails that are easy to read on these devices and that display in attractive ways (selecting mobile-friendly templates will help).
- Make your readers glad they subscribed. Send a welcome email to anyone who joins your email list and then continuously focus on good content that makes them happy to be with you.
Check out this infographic from Visually about best practices:
Understanding Key Metrics
The best way to get bang for your buck with email marketing is to pick a provider that offers you good metrics and reporting capabilities so that you can measure and track progress. Let's take a look at the most important email marketing metrics:
- List Size: This one speaks for itself--the bigger the list, the more people you reach.
- Open Rate: The percentage of recipients who opened the email.
- Click-Through Rate: The percentage of recipients who clicked through the email to external landing pages.
- Conversion Rate: The percentage of individuals who made a revenue-generating transaction or signed up to subscribe to your list.
- Unsubscribe Rate: While not desirable, it is important to know the rate at which readers leave your email list. You can use this knowledge to identify issues and improve email marketing for your firm.
The Best ESPs
Just as with any other marketing tool, there are numerous email marketing provider options to choose from. Check out this comparison chart to see what company is right for you. Here's an overview of our three favorites.
- MailChimp is an online marketing solution that allows you to manage contacts, send emails, and track results with interactive graphs and reports. Depending on list size, you can either use the service for free or pay between $10-$20/month. (And we use it here at NR Media!)
- Constant Contact offers a Small Business Marketing suite of tools that go beyond email marketing to include social media and event management. After a free 60 day trial, you can get access to basic email campaigns, contact management, and social sharing for $20/month.
- iContact provides professional email marketing tools that help you design effective emails, track results, and maximize your message with social media. Depending on the size of your subscription list, you can use iContact from $14/month.
Leveraging Email
In the end, your goal should be to leverage email marketing so that it supports your brand and improves the relationship you have with your audience. Good emails drive traffic to your website and increase the reach of your content. By paying attention to best practices, conducting testing, measuring performance, and working with reputable email marketing providers, you can reach a new level of positive engagement with your audience today.

In Washington we have a forest pass for Gifford Pinchot and so many other areas I can't keep track of them. Gifford Pinchot is a huge forest area. Tickets are common and so is avoiding these "passes" by parking off the asphalt on the edges of the road. Washington has a large laundry list of passes you need to keep track of for many types of access. There are also no trespassing, permit parking only, and no parking signs galore, be it private or timber land.
Many access roads and logging roads are the only way to get to where you want to go. Often they are locked now, for reasons of liability or the common answer of "vandalism" of equipment. Obscure spots are pillaged by lousy logging practices so that fishermen, hikers and other outdoor enthusiasts get squeezed into fewer places.
With all these park and access fees, you would think the planting programs for fish and access reparations from winter damages would be adequately funded rather than just be left to further erode.
I am sick of the fees and overmanagement, the closures, and the kowtowing to business and monopolizing interests.

Podcast: Redemption and Derision
The story of enslavement to freedom is inherent in the Judeo-Christian culture. During this week where emancipation–being freed from slave owners and ultimately our own limitations–is a central focus, it was fitting, then, for Iris Blue to join me. She spent months in "the hole" in a Harris County (Houston) jail. She suffered addiction to heroin. She fought wardens. And she did it all to herself, willfully, angrily and stubbornly. Her story is inspiring and I hope you'll listen to it. We talk about child-rearing, the church, and who is Jesus?
In the second half, another, less successful religion is discussed: Global Warming. Charlie Martin, now the science editor at Pajamas Media discusses the latest happenings and the bitter clinging to a discarded belief.

What would you do if you were suddenly granted super powers ? You might devote yourself to fighting crime, eradicating world poverty or simply abuse your powers of invisibility. At no point, we imagine, would you decide to engage in a tedious quest through mundane lands to save a lady who looks like she has had too much plastic surgery. Superfrog celebrated his new-found powers by choosing the latter and in doing so he came to star in one of the worst platforming games ever to grace the PlayStation 3.
First though a bit of background. Superfrog is the new 2D platform game from Team 17 Digital Ltd out for PS3 and PlayStation Vita; well, new is a relative term considering the game originally saw release in 1993 for the Amiga home computer.
The game's paper-thin plot is that you are a prince who has been turned into a frog by an evil witch so you set out to defeat her and rescue a princess along the way. This is done by jumping through a number of levels collecting enough coins to open the exit to the next one. The levels hold secrets and traps in abundance and are also populated by a variety of evil creatures whose only job is to stop Superfrog ever rescuing the princess.
If you think this sounds tedious you would be correct; Superfrog has a lot of faults that when combined together make the game as super as, well, as a frog with super powers really.
Superfrog's problems start with the game's levels which are all mundanely constructed with no skill being required to complete them. A lot of them are pseudo open-world, leaving the player mindlessly bouncing around desperately to find the exit relying on misleading arrows that promise an end to the torture but just instead lead to more mind-numbing leaping. These levels are broken up in two ways in that every time you complete one you get to play a fruit machine mini-game that offers pointless prizes, which add nothing to the main game, or you might after completing a series of levels face off against the evil witch who is easily dispatched with some button mashing.
The graphical look of Superfrog's adventures might have been acceptable years ago but now just look dated almost like no attempt has been made to update them from the original release. The whole game has a cheap cartoony-style that looks like DVD knock off of a new Disney film without the appeal.
The final nail in the Superfrog coffin is the terrible gameplay that is caused mainly by the poor control detection, which causes Superfrog to not notice you hammering the jump button and just continue to trudge to his doom. All game movement is quite jerky; Superfrog often spasms like a bizarre science experiment on one of his relatives dead bodies while terrible music and sound effects sets the mood of hideousness perfectly and will have the players desperate to switch it off or play something more tuneful like static.
All of these problems make Superfrog a terrible game that is just so dated it makes your dad's tie collection look hip. The side-scrolling platform genre has come on leaps and bounds since this game's original release in 1993, but it seems Team 17 has not kept up with the times.
Superfrog is an embarrassment to current games as with gaming boundaries being pushed with every new title and the PS4's release being imminent, there is no excuse for putting out this time capsule escapee of a game and expecting people to part with their money for it. Team 17 had a great pedigree of titles and I am proud to say it gave me Worms, but to dust off a game from the nineties and expect PS users to buy it is an insult to gamers and the heritage of its studio.
|Superfrog HD Review by Richard Archer
-The Final Word-
A poor 2D platformer that has no redeeming features; don't waste your money on this drivel.

Thursday 27th December
Housekeeping turned up with a bed at 11:20PM - I stumbled out of bed in my boxers and accepted the bed. Got back into bed and went back to sleep. Not sure if this was simply a mistake on their part or a practical joke. Up at about 6AM finished the packing and got dressed. We loaded the car and headed off to Kennedy Space Centre. Got there around 10:30 and it was already looking fairly busy. Our first stop was the IMAX film - which was very impressive. It is getting hot now - about 80 degrees today. Next we moved on to the space robots thing - got some food and checked out some other exhibits. We elected to meet the astronaut.
The astronaut was Mark Lee who had flown on 4 shuttle missions and completed several space walks - two to fix the Hubble telescope. He was very interesting and the girls got to have their photo with an honest to goodness spaceman!
By now it was too late to get the bus tour but our ticket allowed us free entry the next day so we decided to come back. Di and Lucy did the shuttle launch simulation whilst Georgina and I waited.
Headed out to our hotel in Titusville - nothing special but quite acceptable. Headed over to a Roadhouse and had a couple of steaks. In defference to our upset stomachs we both ordered well done and Di felt her steak was not as nice as it might have been. On the whole pretty good. Back to the hotel for an early night. No mysterious bed deliveries tonight!
Friday 28th December
Back to Kennedy - we jumped on the bus tour - got to see some of the modules that are now a part of the space station. Also saw Atlantis on the pad ready for launch around 10th January. The drivers are excellent on the coach tour - really knowledgeable and very entertaining. It was a shame that they could not get much of a response from the passengers on the tour. I joined in by shouting out the answers to some of the questions - how many men had walked on the moon - what are the names of the remaining shuttles?
We are all agreed that KSC was a very interesting and impressive thing indeed. It was nice that they had taken the time to put out some banners alerting people to the fact that I would be turning 40 later that year.
We shared some pizza and chicken salad at the orbiter restaurant before heading out for Madeira Beach.
It took about 2 hours and 45 minutes to get to the Gulf. Following I4 south from Orlando to Tampa. Then crossing Old Tampa Bay on the spectacular Howard Franklin Bridge. We had selected Barefoot Beach Resort from the internet. So there was a little anxious moment as we searched for the hotel. Everything was fine - it was a very nice hotel and right on the beach. My diary entry reads "Typing this with the excited sounds of the kids mixed with the gentle waves outside. Pretty special!"
We went to a Longhorn Steakhouse for tea - I had the portabella pepper filet and Di had a 10oz Salmon. Back to the hotel for a fairly noisy night.

CORRECTIONS: None
6 1/2 half double crochet = 4 in. (10 cm). When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size
specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be
sufficient. The needle or hook size called for in the pattern is based on what
the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person to person.
If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller
size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
Making a Gauge Swatch
1. Cowl is worked in joined rounds with the RS always facing. At the end of each round, join last stitch with a slip stitch in the first stitch.
2. If you find it difficult to join the beginning chain into a ring without twisting, Round 1 can be worked as a row, then joined into a round, as follows: Leaving a long beginning tail, chain 40, half double crochet in 3rd chain from hook (beginning chain counts as first stitch) and in each chain across; join with slip stitch in top of beginning chain to form a ring. Use beginning tail to sew gap at base of first row closed. Proceed to Round 2.

Emiliana only has a high school education. She currently receives an income by working as an employee for a public entity in the city of La Paz. Emiliana works more than eight hours so that she can cover expenses such as food and basic services. The loan she is requesting will be used to build a retaining wall for her home because the conditions can be very dangerous when it rains. This will also improve her standard of living.
Emiliana dreams of adding more rooms to her house so that she can be more comfortable. This is the first time she is requesting a loan from IMPRO and Kiva.

Additional Information
About IMPROIMPRO is a small non-profit organization that has been offering micro credit to the working poor in the Bolivian cities of La Paz and El Alto since 1995. IMPRO's goal is to fight poverty by offering loans to small business owners who cannot access credit through the regular banking system due to a lack of guarantees or collateral.
To ensure that everyone has access to credit, IMPRO maintains a low interest rate by minimizing operational costs. IMPRO's partnership with Kiva, which began in 2007, has allowed IMPRO to expand its services while maintaining these low interest rates.
About Housing Loans
Many poor families cannot afford housing that meets their needs. When you make a housing loan on Kiva, you give people access to flexible capital to obtain or improve their homes. Better housing means better health, sanitation, and even educational outcomes for children. A house can also be much more for entrepreneurs who run businesses out of their homes. In this way, housing and small business loans on Kiva share a common purpose: to alleviate poverty and enable families to enjoy more stable lives.

[Verse 1: Berner]
Bust a couple bands, blow my 100 fast
I just made a 100 off a 50 pack
Where them bad Asian bitches holding down my city at?
Where them girls from the A with that pretty face?
Round thing, I'm on that loud thang
Pop another bottle, shooting corks at the crowd, dang
Yeah, I'm a stunna, but nah, I ain't Baby though
Young dude with the lazy flow, watch all these ladies go
Crazy when I pull up right beside em
I do a buck 30, yeah I'm just sitting there flying
I smell like dirty money, plus this cookie that I'm lighting
Big bucket's full of ice with bottles on fire inside 'em, uh
[Chorus: Big K.R.I.T]
Call 'em Yoko Ono, Ono, Ono
Only ride solo, solo, solo
Mission for the dolo, dolo, dolo
One look in her eyes, she'll eat you alive
She a man eater, ski mad diva
She might up and leave you, cause you can never leave her
You ain't never had someone, you can never keep her
Tricking on the next man, he can't have her either, call her Yoko Ono
[Verse 2: Chris Brown]
Look, got a boatload of them Asian hoes
On vacation steady baking with Jamaican hoes
I got cash boy, I don't care what you making ho
50 thousand on my wrist, I'm feeding eskimos
Damn, put VA on this shit
Buy 100 fucking bottles, let 'em spray in this bitch
My money flow real long, I do relays in this bitch
And you know I kill songs, it's Burner, CB and Wiz, alrighty now
Ha, look at me, Rosé, I'm on nigga
15 grand on a what? That's just my phone, nigga
Northern California, them blunts look like cones, nigga
Two up, two down, make that switch, yeah, it's Breezy, bitch
[Verse 3: Wiz Khalifa]
Shades on, Polo white T
Me leaving here alone? That's unlikely
Not a stoner bitch, but she like me
Tryna get that final cut like Spike Lee
I jack them hoes, direct them hoes, take 'em home
And let them hoes go live out their fantasies, they're popping pills, I'm rolling weed
Even got a couple bad bitches overseas
Out the back cause ain't no tags when I'm shopping
And my bag filled with options so don't ask what it cost
I'm in a Maserati coupe going so fast that I lost 'em
And my bitch got so much swag that these bad bitches on us
Ah, killing y'all, blaow, dag get a coffin, uh
Ah, nothing like Breezy essentializing Asian women..

One of the perks of winning a championship in sports in the USA is that you get to go to the White House and get a tour and meet the president. The New York Giants are no different as today is their chance to meet the leader of the free world and take a tour of the White House.
You're political views shouldn't matter when you get a chance to go to the White House. I guess I subscribe to the anti Tim Thomas theory. It's an honor and a privilege to even get the opportunity. I'm sure the Giants players will all enjoy themselves and take many pictures and want to do the same thing again next June.
This visit is probably more special for head coach Tom Coughlin. Coughlin received the Outstanding Civilian Service Award from the US Army for his work with the NFL-USO Coaches Tour and service to military veterans this past May. The team before the ceremony will visit with members of the Wounded Warriors as well.
This is something that the organization and all the players will remember for the rest of their lives. From the tweets and pictures that the players have put out, it seems like the definitely will.

Room was extremely small for a King room. Just held the bed and a chair. We are small people, but we could not both move around in the room at the same time I would not use Fairfield again at their price structure. Staff was great. Place was clean.
January 23, 2013
We were very pleased with this hotel. Everything was spacious and clean. The breakfast was good, and we enjoyed the fresh cookies as well. The pool was average, but towels were provided and it was indoor, so that made up for the weak jets in the jacuzzi. We will definitely stay here again.

Hi Their My name is Kim and my DH is Mark. Little Back story we have been married for 6 years and after our first year of marriage we decided we wanted to be parents. We started TTC on our own with no luck.After seeing many doctors they told us IVF was are only hope are first transfer we transferred 3 embryos with BFN second transfer 3 embryos BFP all three implanted but at seven weeks my worst fears happened and we lost our little angles. I could not go though that again so we decided adoption was the way we were going to start our family. So we stated and jumped in head first! After becoming home study approved 6 months later we were matched with a birth mom who was raped and knew she couldn't raise this baby and think about what happened to her every time she looked at her. We love "A" for giving us our Scarlett. When Scarlett was born "A" didn't even want to hold her. She held her once and gave her to me, that was the last time we ever saw A. I think about her all the time. At the hospital I gave her an email that was just for her if she ever wanted an update (she asked for a special email I didn't push that on her) she has never emailed so we pray for her and hope her life is going well. Scarlett is now an amazing 3 year old and so beautiful!
Mason's Adoption was so different. January of last year I got a call from my DH's 15 year old sister she told me she was 7 weeks pregnant and needed me. I went a picked her up from planned parenthood and she told me she couldn't do it, she was going to get an abortion but couldn't do it because the whole time she was sitting in the clinic she was thinking how we couldn't have kids. long story short she placed with us and we just had our one year visit. Her and BF live is north Dakota now. We hadn't seen them scenes DS was 1 month so it was so fun and it was so easy she came in and grab Scarlett and said auntie missed you and then gave mason a huge hug and said auntie missed you too!
I'm so sorry this is so long I'm just so happy to find this group and other adoptive parents.

Skip to comments.Caption Obama
Posted on 12/27/2008 5:28:32 PM PST by TornadoAlley3
President-elect Barack Obama greets onlookers after working out at the Semper Fit Center at Marine Corp Base Hawaii in Kailua, Hawaii, Saturday, Dec. 27, 2008.
(Excerpt) Read more at search.news.yahoo.com ...
I can't believe that jerk was elected for President of the United States.
POTUS in da Hood..."SUp hookahs!"
(in all honesty, that picture makes me want to vomit, when I think of that arse monkey as my President...he looks more like a damned pimp)
I cannot believe that is the next President of the United States. Geeesh. America, the Banana Republic! We're in big trouble.
Caption? Easy.
1) Pick any set of pictures of the Obamaloon.
2) Under the pics, place the word, "Uh, uh, uh....".
3) Call lawyers (real ones, not the loon or his wife) to place connecting verbiage.
Look at him, trying to look all gangsta, so instead of putting a responsible, articulate person into the White House instead we have a guy who thinks he's a hip hop artist who is gonna use the people in his cabinet as scape goats when this country goes down the toilet. Thanks a lot drones, Carter would be proud
It looks to me like a baseball cap on backwards.
Or perhaps one of those muslim skull-cap type thingies.
(I would prefer the dew rag actualy!)
How disgusting
He looks like a hood
Moron with hat on backwards
I need my inhaler when I see him looking like a slob. I'm going to drink heavily during the next 4 years.
Ladies and Gentlemen...ANY modicum of "CLASS" will be departing the White House at 1159 on 20 January, 2009, GOD help us all!
"Where da coke at, bro'?"
Doesn't this guy have ANY idea of the impression he is giving??
this headgear is the same bad taste as the pics in TIME MAGAZINE
Some things never change
Where's his earring, cigarette and tattoo? What's his gang colors? Does he wear his pants under his butt so he has to pull them up every other step? Someone tell him he is going to be POTUS (Heaven help us) and needs to look and act the part.
I will be banned forever from FR if I post what I really think about this &@%^%$#*&$%.
Now, what's Mr. Cool Fool up to?
Soon he'll be in the hood: Pennsylvania Ave.
this headgear is the same bad taste as the pics in TIME MAGAZINE this and all that plus a ZUNE?pleeeeeeezzzz
Some things never change
The only time he and Michelle looked well-groomed was at the Convention.
In all these Hawaii photos, they look downright slovenly.
" I cannot believe that is the next President of the United States ."
Me neither.
He looks like a common street rapper about to flash gang signs.
Only thing he's missing is a gold " grillz."
It's weird that Obama doesn't have a treadmill and weights at his 32 million dollar vacation compound.
What could possibly lure him every day to the gym at the Marine base ?
The only way to describe this "guy" is asshole. I am beyond embarrassed that he's the next POTUS.
What happens next year at Christmas at the White House? Thanksgiving? July 4th? When will the WH be featured on "Cribs"?
Am I the only one completely offended that he was using our Marine Corps' gym as his gym choice of convenience...? Guess Bally's wasn't open.
And here I thought I was the only one, LOL!
"They wont even let me wash their food trays"
He needs his fingernails trimmed. He's gonna scratch somebody's eye out!
He's probably trying to appear manly and he thinks that hanging out with Marines will do that for him.
Okay, so maybe he's missing the grillz—but it looks like he's already got the Nike endorsement!
The single-story wood frame house measures either 4,846 square feet (according to public records) or 5,200 square feet (according to news accounts), and has five and a half baths, a gourmet kitchen, a weight room and wireless Internet, according to listing information.
May I recommend the Aviator cocktail? Recipe below. The liqueur may be a bit challenging to find, but worth it.
2 ounces gin
1 ounce maraschino liqueur (has nothing to do with maraschino cherries, but you can add one of those at the end)
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 lemon twist
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the gin, maraschino liqueur and lemon juice and shake well. Strain into a chilled martini glass and garnish with the lemon twist.
Enjoy responsibly. Cheers.
I have no idea. And why are they letting a civilian use the facility any way? He is nothing but an ex-senator right now.
God help America - I still can't believe such a goon will be holding the highest office in the WORLD!
He's a ignorant damned POS.
To hell with him.
I didn't used to drink. Since Nov.4th, I have purchased 2 bottles of Martini and Rossi Aste Spumante and have enjoyed it very much.
1st bottle was supposed to be for an election victory toast, but ended up being a defeat drink.
2nd one was for Christmas beverage. Still like it!
No hangover either, it's good stuff!
Diana, it's me from WI, hey at least it's not below zero today! Hee Hee. Now it's rain and fog.
Caption "I can't believe I got away with it, I'm not even a natural citizen."
caption: "Can you believe how many howlies are in that club? whatsupwithdat?"
Just another photo-op to dsiplay his POTUS qualities.
"...Shortly after his workout, the President-elect went to Aloha's Liquor Mart, pulled his skull cap down, brandished a handgun, and demanded a carton of Newport 100s and a bottle of Olde English 800."
My biggest concern with Obama will be the Memorial Day, Veteran Day, and D-Day ceremonies. I'm sure he'll be out BBQing rather than making somber speeches and laying down wreaths.
Robert Mugabe looks more dignified than that.
Makes me proud!
< /sarcasm >
Jesus Christ. That joke will be our next president and his creature wife our next first lady, unfu—ing believable.

Brightly decorated packages are shipped weekly from our Santa Barbara office to destinations across the country. Our dedicated volunteers fill the boxes with hand-selected toys, wrapped with love and addressed to the dream recipient to give to his or her children. Thanks to the generosity of Hasbro and Ty, Inc., Dream Foundation receives thousands of donated toys each year to send to families nationwide.
Nearly 30 percent of our dream recipients have young children in the home. Coping with the loss of a parent, and the intense emotional, physical and financial strain terminal illness has on a family may well be the most difficult challenge a child can face. The Dream Toy Program reaches hundreds of children each year who are losing a parent to illness. With each unexpected gift of love received, opportunities to create memories and smiles again are born.
If you would like to help wrap toys in our Santa Barbara office, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thank you for supporting Dream Foundation. Their work is such a blessing to us. My son and I love to toss around his new football! And challenging each other at Battleship is always great fun. These extras for him are very generous! The decorated box with his name on it made him extremely excited." – Dream recipient, Jan
Special thanks to Andy & Dee Puzder for adopting the Dream Toy Program for 2016.

DAILY NEWS: New Distribution/Production Effort; Shooting Gallery Slate; and Hypnotic Finalists
by Eugene Hernandez, Anthony Kaufman and Brian Brooks/indieWIRE
>> Cohen/Nasso Form NY-based Production and Distribution Company, Manhattan Pictures Inc.
(indieWIRE/ 01.16.01) -- Indie distribution exec Paul E. Cohen and Hollywood
studio producer Julius R. Nasso have announced a partnership for a new
motion picture distribution and production company called Manhattan Pictures
International Inc. based in New York. In its first year, Manhattan Pictures
plans to acquire four theatrical features, eventually increasing to as many
as twelve per year.
Cohen, who will serve as CEO of the company as well as President of the
distribution division, has been associated with distribution since the '70s,
releasing films such as Visconti's "The Innocent," and the infamous
"Caligula." In the '80s Cohen released the Academy Award-winning "Mephisto" and more recently distributed the Spanish production, "Lovers," and the Oscar-nominated "The Thief" through Stratosphere Entertainment, which he founded in 1997. Partner Nasso will serve as President of Manhattan's
production division. Nasso has a reputation for being one of the top action
producers in the industry. In 1986, he helped form Segal-Nasso Productions
with actor Steven Segal whom he met while on business in Japan.
Manhattan will launch with its first film, already in production, entitled,
"One Eyed King" by director Bobby Moresco. The film is based on the
helmer's life growing up in New York's Hell's Kitchen and stars William
Baldwin, Armand Assante, Chaz Palmintieri, Bruno Kirby and Jim Brewer. Speaking of the company in a prepared statement, Cohen commented, "It is a great honor and responsibility for me to continue my life long journey in
this independent arena with a group this substantial and talented. They
truly have the vision to produce and acquire motion pictures that are at
once commercial in both the theatrical and ancillary marketplace without
compromising a level of quality to be proud of." [Brian Brooks]
>>Shooting Gallery Film Series -- In the Spotlight at New York Critics Dinner, Company Unveils Slate for Spring Series
(indieWIRE/01.16.01) -- With a self-described "spring in his step," Shooting
Gallery Films President Eamonn Bowles accepted a special award from the New York Film Critics Circle, commenting, "This year made me a lot less cynical
-- for that I am grateful." The Shooting Gallery Film Series, announced at
last year's Sundance Film Festival, was in the spotlight at Sunday night's
awards dinner at Windows on the World atop the World Trade Center in
The Critics Circle recognized Shooting Gallery for its "ingenious
distribution pattern as well as their choice of films" and Bowles used the
opportunity to tout the new slate of films set to screen this Spring.
On Friday, the Shooting Gallery announced the next six films that will be
released as part of their special distribution film series with Loews
Cineplex Entertainment. The Spring series of two-week runs begins on Feb. 23
with Paul Pawlikowski's "The Last Resort," and is followed by (in order of
release) Kieron Walsh's "When Brendan Met Truly," David Maquiling's "Too Much Sleep," Marziyeh Meshkini's "The Day I Became a Woman," Jamie Thraves's "The Low Down," and closing out the program on May 4 will be Shinji Aoyama's Cannes critics favorite, "Eureka."
Both "The Last Resort" and "Eureka" topped indieWIRE's year 2000 list of
films that deserved US distribution. Pawlikowski's film, winner of Best
British Independent Film at Edinburgh, and "The Low Down" will screen later
this week in the World Cinema program at Sundance. The two British indies
also share screens with another UK work, Walsh's "When Brendan Met Truly," a
Toronto fest North American debut starring up-and-comer Peter McDonald ("I Went Down"). Maquiling's "Too Much Sleep," produced by Open City Films, is the only US entry in the selection, following in the footsteps of former
singular American selections like Eric Mendelsohn's inaugural entry, "Judy
Berlin" and Tony Barbieri's "One." (Note their winning pattern: two to three films from the UK, one American, one Japanese, and one Iranian.)
Recent successes of the series include summer sleeper "Croupier" and Iran's
entry for Oscar consideration, "A Time for Drunken Horses."
Another indie distributor that made a mark in 2000 was singled out at
Sunday's star-studded Critics' dinner. New York-based Cowboy Booking was
commended by winners for its work on "George Washington" and "The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg" -- winners of Best First Film and Best Non-Fiction
Film respectively. Indies took center stage throughout the night, even on an
evening when Tom Hanks was honored for his work on the Hollywood entry,
Marcia Gay Harden was honored for "Pollock," while Benecio del Toro was singled out for "Traffic," winner of the Best Picture award and the Best
Director prize for Steven Soderbergh. The Shooting Gallery's "You Can Count
on Me" took Best Actress for Laura Linney and Best Screenplay for Kenneth
Lonergan. [Anthony Kaufman and Eugene Hernandez]
>> Five Finalists Announced for Hypnotic Million Dollar Film Festival
(indieWIRE/01.16.01) -- The Hypnotic Milion Dollar Film Festival, a dual
effort between Hypnotic and Universal, have announced the five finalists who will compete for a $1 million production deal.
The final five include: David von Ancken for "Bullet in the Brain," "Dishpan Man" directed by Hal Long, Kyle Newman's "Drone," Carlo De Rosa for "Killing Time," and "Swimming Out To Holly" directed by Jesse Peyronel.
The winner will be announced during this year's Sundance Film Festival
chosen by a prestigious panel of judges including Kevin Misher, president of
production at Universal; Rick Hess, president of Propaganda Films as well
as directors Jay Roach ("Meet the Parents") and Jonathan Mostow ("U-571") among others.
Hypnotic is a new media film studio that develops work from emerging artists
with its partner Universal Pictures, acquiring and distributing content both on and offline. Since November, users of Hypnotic have rated 25 semi-finalists online at hypnotic.com. [Brian Brooks]

NEW YORK – Clearly frustrated by his play and opponent, Roger Federer of Switzerland whacked his racket on the top of the net after a missed volley. Moments later, he barked at the chair umpire: "What's wrong with you, man?"
Not long after that, Federer found himself in the precarious position of twice being one point from defeat.
Steady as ever, even at 33, Federer held on. Coming back from a two-set deficit, and saving two match points along the way, Federer edged 20th-seeded Gael Monfils of France 4-6, 3-6, 6-4, 7-5, 6-2 on Thursday night to reach the U.S. Open semifinals for the first time since 2011.
Frustrated by Monfils' unpredictable style, flummoxed by the swirling wind and missing shots he normally makes, the second-seeded Federer faced the two match points while trailing 5-4 in the fourth set.

"When I was down two match points, that's when I wasn't feeling so great anymore," Federer said with a chuckle. "I thought, 'This is it. This is the last point, man. Go down fighting. Don't miss an easy shot and let him have it.' "
He got out of that hole, starting a five-game run that put the match in his control for the first time. It helped that Monfils' quality of play dipped, including what wound up being a total of 10 double-faults.
This was the ninth time Federer has won a match after dropping the opening two sets.
"I served well and stayed in the match and somehow turned it around," Federer said. "I was really starting to play better and better as the match went on."
Monfils was trying to reach his second career semifinal in a Grand Slam event. Instead, Federer advanced to his 36th major semifinal, ninth at Flushing Meadows. Five of Federer's record 17 major singles titles have come at the U.S. Open, but he exited in the quarterfinals in 2012 and the fourth round in 2013.
On Saturday, Federer will play 14th-seeded Marin Cilic of Croatia.
The other semifinal will be No. 1 Novak Djokovic of Serbia against No. 10 Kei Nishikori of Japan; their quarterfinal victories came Wednesday.
Cilic wasn't allowed to play in last year's U.S. Open, forced to the sideline by a four-month doping suspension he says he didn't deserve. But Cilic reached the second major semifinal of his career, and first since 2010, by beating No. 6 Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic 6-2, 6-4, 7-6 (7-4).
"I mean, it was a difficult period. I didn't know when I'm going to start back. But (it) was also (a) good period for me," Cilic said of the suspension. "I matured a bit more and I was working, day after day."

$20 for power and $25 for water/power. We camped here on the Victoria Day Long Weekend. The resort owner is very friendly. There is a small general store in the office and you can buy your fishing license here too. On the last night, our propane ran out due to a leak at the tank. The owner, without hesitation, lent us one of her tanks from the BBQs they have for the cabins. The resort and lake are above valley bottom elevations, so it can be chilly at night in the early and late season. We would not hesitate to camp here again. - PavementPilot

Five questions with Kasey Smith of Ken Grody Ford
BUENA PARK Ken Grody Ford executives were all smiles Friday as the automaker presented the Buena Park dealership with awards for sales and customer satisfaction achievements in 2012.
Ken Grody Ford received the President's Award for high customer satisfaction; a Top 100 Club award for new car sales; an award for ranking in the top 45 for its extended service plan sales; and an award for ranking No. 80 in the country for finance contract volume sales. The dealership was one of 23 in the country to receive a Triple Crown Award for achieving top awards for sales volume, parts and service volume and customer satisfaction. New vehicle sales for Ken Grody last year totaled 4,156.
The Register talked with Kasey Smith, Ken Grody Ford's top salesperson, about the awards and auto industry trends.
The 33-year-old La Habra native graduated with a business degree from Cal State Fullerton in 2002 and worked in home finance and life insurance sales before joining Ken Grody in 2009. He was recently promoted to finance manager after working for more than two years as an Internet sales manager
Q. If auto sales are a barometer of the Orange County economy, how is the local economy doing compared with last year and the recession in 2008 and 2009?
A. The auto industry is on a huge, massive upswing and the start of 2011 was where it started to take off. When businesses were downsizing (in 2008 and 2009), they had to restructure by bringing in better, harder-working employees. People are working harder, saving their money and budgeting to put in larger down payments. They are making more conservative, smarter choices, whereas before it was so easy to get a loan and people were living beyond their means.
Q. How long will it be before most vehicles are all-electric?
A. My guess would be within eight to 10 years. The trend now is that everyone is going green, and our hybrid vehicles have rocketed in sales.
Q. How has the Internet changed the auto dealership world now that people can instantly compare prices at various dealerships for the same vehicle?
A. Years ago, people didn't have the access to look at 20 different makes and models and really scrutinize each one. People now have the capability of hiding behind the Internet wall before they even make it onto the dealer's lot. Before, it was just about convenience. Now you have to build that relationship on the Internet ... and set yourself apart right from the get-go.
Q. What advice do you have for people looking to buy a car? What questions should they ask?
A. Research vehicles on the Internet and read reviews on the dealer closest to you. Ask questions like, "What sets you apart from every other dealer out there?" "How are you graded as a dealer?" "What is your overall customer satisfaction rating?"
Q. What makes you successful as a salesman and what tips can you give to someone looking to be a car salesperson?
A. What has made me successful is my ability to build value in the vehicle through my product knowledge, and how I build relationships with my clients to bring a positive experience. You have to love what you do and be committed. You write your own level of income, and it requires a high level of customer service. You have to build trust and re-teach (customers) how car buying should be.

Knowledge of structure in biology may help inform hypotheses about function. Little is known about the histological structure or the function of avian facial bristle feathers. Here we provide information on morphology and histology, with inferences for function, of bristles in five predominantly insectivorous birds from New Zealand. We chose species with differing ecologies, including: brown kiwi (Apteryx mantelli), morepork (Ninox novaezealandae), hihi (Notiomystis cincta), New Zealand robin (Petroica australis), and New Zealand fantail (Rhipidura fuliginosa). Average bristle length corrected for body size was similar across species. Bristles occurred in distinct groups on different parts of the head and upper rictal bristles were generally longest. The lower rictal bristles of the fantail were the longest possessed by that species and were long compared to bristles of other species. Kiwi were the only species with forehead bristles, similar in length to the upper rictal bristles of other species, and the lower rictal bristles of fantails. Herbst corpuscles (vibration and pressure sensitive mechanoreceptors) were found in association with bristle follicles in all species. Nocturnal and hole-nesting birds had more heavily encapsulated corpuscles than diurnal open-nesting species. Our results suggest that avian facial bristles generally have a tactile function in both nocturnal and diurnal species, perhaps playing a role in prey handling, gathering information during flight, navigating in nest cavities and on the ground at night and possibly in prey-detection. These differing roles may help explain the observed differences in capsule thickness of the corpuscles. J. Morphol., 2011. © 2010 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Hello gentlemen,
I will be in the market for a used car soon, as of now I am saving up for about three years (when I actually need the car). I have looked at a few cars, and the Chevy eco Cruze and the Ford C-max stick out to me the most. If I were walking into the dealer/ private seller today, what are some things I would need to keep in mind? I already know the basic things like having a non-negotiable price in mind and taking an independent mechanic to inspect the car for problems, but what are other things you men have found useful when buying a used car? What are some other fees I have to keep in mind besides the sticker price and gas fill ups?

When you get your car, shop around for insurance, of course, and get your car registered by your local license office. Most likely there will be a personal property tax (state and/or local), a sales tax, and a registration fee. Periodic safety inspections are usually required before registration/renewal. I'm not sure how much variance there is from state to state, but I can tell you in my state of Missouri, there is a fee for safety inspection and registration, and when you first buy a car, the sales tax is charged at the time of registration rather than at the time of purchase (might be different in your state...check into that).
TCO, Total Cost of Ownership.
How much will your payments be, what are the expected costs of maintenance (all that stuff that is not covered under warranty such as oil, tires, filters, belts, etc.), what is the insurance on the car, what will the cost of fuel be, parking fees, etc.
Oh, and on top of the final price of the car, you have delivery fees, dealer fees, Title, Tax, and License fees that will be added. If you buy from a private individual you will need to pay for the title, taxes, and license (plate) yourself at a title company or similar. You also have to have the insurance on the car before you title or license it.

It will take us a few more hours to set everything up for tomorrow: move into the assigned office space, do a line check, converese with the organisers about schedules and - hopefully - catch up with some of the Grand Slam couples for the first interviews.
We should be able to update you later on who's here (and who's apparently not) of the 24 couples who had confirmed their participation in these Grand Slam Finals. There are some rumours about prominent no-shows, but let us find out for sure ...

Two 512GB SSDs in RAID 0 or 4 245's in RAID 0

Re: Two 512GB SSDs in RAID 0 or 4 245's in RAID 0
RAID-0 is very light on the actual CPU-load. Any semi-recent CPU (even the very cheap ones, let alone the upcoming high-end Haswells) can do it with ease. Once you go to the more advanced RAID-levels, such as RAID-5 or RAID-6, CPU-performance can become a factor with larger arrays.
And even if the RAID-array used a non-trivial amount of CPU-time, it is typically still worthwhile since IO-bandwidth from storage devices is so far behind RAM-bandwidth and CPU-power that any task that involves reading or writing from/to a storage device will be limited by the speed of the storage device.
So in conclusion: I'd just go for a 4-SSD array in your case if maximizing throughput is your priority.

As the sun sets on the hill, and the temperature plunges to 30 degrees below zero, Barber's men dig in for the night. At two in the morning they are awakened by the sound - bugles, whistles, cymbals, and drumbeats - of a massive assault by thousands of enemy infantry. The attack is just the first wave of four days and five nights of nearly continuous Chinese attempts to take Fox Hill, during which Barber's beleaguered company clings to the high ground and allows the First Marine Division to battle south. Amid the relentless violence, three-quarters of Fox Company's Marines are killed, wounded, or captured. Just when it looks like the outfit will be overrun, Lieutenant Colonel Raymond Davis, a fearless Marine officer who is fighting south from Chosin, volunteers to lead a force of 500 men on a daring mission that cuts a hole in the Chinese lines and relieves the men of Fox Company.
The Last Stand of Fox Company is a fast-paced and gripping account of heroism and self-sacrifice in the face of impossible odds. The authors have conducted dozens of firsthand interviews with the battle's survivors, and they narrate the story with the imm...

"Bob Drury and Tom Clavin have set the standard for wartime accounts on the Korean conflict.... This is a story that is almost too incredible to be true." (Dr. Charles P. Neimeyer, director of the U.S. Marine Corps History Division)
"A paean worthy of one of the most extraordinary battles in Marine Corps history.... A magnificent book." (Nathaniel Fick, New York Times bestselling author of One Bullet Away)
"Outstanding story, poor narration"
The number of mispronunciations was disappointing. I'm not talking about Korean names. I'm talking about the English language.
Someone should have told the narrator that "X Corps" is "Tenth Corps", not "x corps".
The story is still well worth listening to...
"Good Story - Confusing Logistics"
The story is good (4), but it gets confusing trying to remember all the different people and you really need a map to be able to orient yourself to the landscape.
"Reference maps a must have."
I agree the book was excellent (besides the narration errors mentioned in previous reviews). However without maps the progression of the battle and events within it are difficult to follow. I have contacted Audible.com and asked the maps that are in the book be included in the download.
"Incredible Story, Hard to Follow"
It tells the incredible story of the Marines and Sailors of Fox Company, but very difficult to follow.
"Intense dark war story"
I understand it is war and things get beyond intense. However, the way the narrator casually describes horribly gruesome and vivid imagery led me to hang this one up before finishing.
"Uncommon valor became a common trait."
A minute by riveting minute account of a gallant stand by an understrength marine company fighting under horrific conditions against overwhelming odds in an almost forgotten chapter in the history of modern war. Drury and Clavin have brought the men of Fox Company to life, and in the matter of fact way that extrordinary deeds are chronicalled, have made their sacrifices meaningful to those of us who could not have imagined that men could endure, let alone prevail, under those circumstances.
Michael Prichard's narration was spot on.
"Great story...even more powerful because its true!"
loved it very easy listen. the narrator did a great job of distinguishing the characters throughout the entire book.
Love Audbile, Love Reading. Addicted to historical non-fiction books. Most era's. The more I read, the more I want to read.
"Excellent "
Must read book. I read as part of my Memorial day tip of the cap to our troops
Avid audible listener for over 10 years.
"The forgotten war, Korea."
Most people, especially those under 40 probably don't know we fought in a war in Korea. I could barely remember it. But this book of a fight to the death between Americans and North Koreans in a frozen battleground that is haunting. Vastly outnumbered the Americans hold their positions against fanatical North Korean troops. It is a battle to last man. Great for history fans, but it is rather graphic and almost sad because it was a war that was fought to just end in stalemate. Forty years later North Korea is still there.
Reading on the run! I am a huge fan of the mobile university and audio books keep a great marathon pace!
"Great lesson in leadership"
The Last Stand of Fox Company is a true story of U.S. Marines in combat during the Korean war aka the "The Forgotten War". The book was full of ways Marines do what they do best, make the best out of a bad situation. The book did a great job of describing the actions of the heros who gave their lives to protect their fellow Marines and the leaders who guided them through that horrific experience. This is a great book for any aspiring military leader.
Captain William Barbers was a fearless leader that was able to keep his men calm and focused under the kinds of stress most americans will never know. Even after being wounded in action he was carried around on a stretcher to check on the moral and safety of his Marines while under fire. His bravery and devotion to duty are characteristics I truly admire.
Nearly the whole book was my favorite. If I must pick one I would say that the part where PFC Cafferata defends his position by batting hand grenades back with an entrenching tool is the best.
I could hardly put it down. I run and listen to audio books and would increase the distance from the intended 3 or 4 miles to 6, 7, and some times even 10 miles just to keep listening.
If you really want to know what war is like from people who lived it, you will enjoy this book.

Dealer found #4spark plug damaged at tip. They had replaced #4 coil a year ago. . Ran better but not great. Last week started stalling and barely could get to 30mph. Engine light came on. Found codes P0354, 0301, 0303 0305. Said something in combustion chamber caused damage. Recommends tear down to inspect heads. Will cost in the range of $3000 to fix. Could the damage on #4spark plug have something to do with the coil replacement the year before.
