TV, Poison, or Tubular Tommy Ivo retired after a 19-year career in acting, dancing, and singing, followed by a equally long career owning, building, and driving 36 cars that competed in 12 different classes. Ivo was the first to run in the 8s on gas, the first to run over 170 then 180 on gas, and first to dip into both the 7s and 5s on fuel. When Don Garlits made the switch to a back-motor car after losing a portion of his foot to a drivetrain failure, Ivo followed suit but became involved in one of the most spectacular crashes in drag racing history. We now pick up the third and last portion of Tomfoolery--the fast life and fun times of irrepressible Tommy Ivo.
on Garlits' foot injury and his subsequent and successful switch--initiated by an article written by Ed von Delden entitled "New Concept For Fuelers" (Aug. '70)--from a slingshot to a mid-engine design had a revolutionary effect on Top Fuel. Within a year after Garlits made his winning introduction at the '71 NHRA Winternationals, drivers no longer sat behind and peeked around the blower of a nitro-burning engine. "I switched to a rear-motor Woody [Gilmore] car in '72 and was the first to break into the 5s, at a track in Pennsylvania during the latter part of that year. Even though I knew it was safer ride--the trouble was always behind you--it was the ground rush, not the wall of flames with smoke at the top, which got my attention. I was attaining the same ground speed--around 245 to 250 mph--but it felt like 100 mph faster." After Garlits lost his foot and sat out the 1970 season, Ivo began match racing Shirley Muldowney. "I got along well with Muldowney, but she was like Prudhomme--very determined." Ivo's match-race program with Shirley worked until Garlits came back, then the strip promoters saw the "King vs. Queen" possibilities, and Ivo lost this gig as well. But it was at the '74 Winternationals that Ivo came within a hair of losing his life. "I had just taken a new Don Long car and was on my fourth pass against my former helper John 'Tarzan' Austin. I had her pretty hopped up, because I didn't want to lose to him, when the engine blew in the lights. All I can guess is that I had leaned it too much and caught a piston. Engine parts 'zeroed' out the wing, and when I lifted, the torque rolled the car. All I could think of as I went over was 'I'm going way too fast to be doing this.' Luckily I didn't get a scratch, but I missed my big chance. The first safety official that reached me was riding one of those little mopeds. If only I had borrowed his motor bike and ridden down the track waving and bowing to the fans, it would have been the crowing moment of my career. Instead I gimped around the pits--strictly for show--the next day after Bernie Partridge (NHRA's announcer) announced that I was at the track."
Organized drag racing had become big business by the middle of the '70s, and Ivo saw more match race possibilities driving a Funny Car than a Fueler. So for the first time since he raced his '55 Buick, he was in a closed car--kind of. "Jaime Sarte built my first Funny in '77, the same one that I ran under the Rod Shop banner. After 19 years driving either a roadster or a dragster, it felt like a security blanket, a much slower ride that cut down the speed effect. But its short wheelbase caused it to dart from side to side. It made me keep on top of my driving. And when a blower would bang, I would lose a body and go back to driving a roadster in the blink of an eye. The real fun part was the long burnouts and my ability to do them without losing control."
But Ivo, much to his chagrin, was losing control. "I had led a happy-go-lucky life surrounded by young crewmen, but I was now pushing 45 and still not organized. All I wanted was to be a bopping, footloose fool, but when I joined the Rod Shop I had to deal with the corporate structure that came with it. It was as if I was back at the studios, but it took three years before I realized I was not having fun."
After nearly 50 years of Tomfooling around, Ivo married, and that changed his life. "My career had been one of traveling and working on my cars. Now I was working on our house. The problem was that I had to hire people to do what I did for 19 years, and I tended to hire good guys, not good mechanics. The result was that I began to tear up a lot of stuff because I didn't have time to work on the cars." After three years of driving floppers, Ivo returned to his past.
Ivo's recall ability remains phenomenal--a talent he acquired during his show biz career. Whether it was his marshmallow-toasting race against Bob Smith's Untouchable jet or his green weenie, 280-plus pass with Art Arfons, Ivo remained intrigued by cars that blew and flew. "In 1979, I asked Ron Attebury to build a jet for me. I also got my engines from a guy who owned an aircraft salvage yard in Phoenix, Arizona. The J-34 engines cost $25 each, and their fit was so precise that I loved working on them. Jets were the most awesome things I ever drove. Their top-end charge was unreal. They would go from 200 to 300 like a Fueler goes from 0 to 200. They just wouldn't lie down. What I loved the most was to close the hand throttle, hit the chute release, and then go limp so I could feel the weightlessness for 2 or 3 seconds. In fact, I played games in the car when the chute hit. But that only lasted two years. I woke up to the reality after I reached 45. I was eating alone at Denny's on my birthday, and I began to realize that I needed to get a real life."
Even though it seems like yesterday when I shot Ivo's restored four-motor car at Palmdale, it was 20 years ago when he got out of racing in 1981. "I realized after my 36-year drag racing career that none of those 36 cars I drove ever got me, and that I had more mileage on a dragstrip than anyone else at the time I retired." But Ivo had one last hurrah in him.
TV Tommy, the hands-on drag racer, had become Ivo the hands-on house remodeler. He was on his way to pick up some bricks at one of the local building supply yards when, for one of the few times in his life, his memory failed him. "While on my way to the yard, I made a wrong turn and found myself going up an alley. I looked to my right, and I couldn't believe my eyes. Sitting behind an unnamed speed shop was my old trailer with my four-motor dragster in it. The speed shop's owner had bought the car from Jim Harwood. Its right front engine was broken, but I had to have the car, and I made its owner a offer he couldn't afford to refuse." Ivo's promotional instincts were still going 300 in the eyes.
He planned a North American curtain call tour upon the resurrection of the old Wagon-Master. "It began as a summer-long, 70-stop tour in 1982, but by then I had no business being in a race car. I remember getting in it and panting so hard that I fogged up my face shield and had to wipe if off with my forearm before I could make that first pass. I thought this was going to be my signature tour, and I'd take my bows in the car where my career really started and now was ending. It seemed like a nice touch, but I forgot one thing. That 4,000-pound car was one rough-riding SOB. So when I hit a bump on the third stop of my tour, the car went up and I went down and crushed three vertebrae.
I ended up turning the driving chores over to Rick Johnson. The last time I drove the car was during the '82 World Finals at Orange County International Raceway. I put lots of pillows in the driver seat, and after I made that last pass, I drove back up the strip, got out of the car, and then burned my driving gloves on the starting line with the handheld track dryer. But the injury had its positive effect. It let me stop and not feel the pangs of not doing this all over again."
The gypsy is still in TV Tommy Ivo, but instead of driving more than a million miles going from one match race to another, he and his wife travel the world. "It was a bummer celebrating my 45th birthday at Denny's, but that's all changed. For my 50th I was walking on the Great Wall of China. For my 60th I was in my four-motor car and pounding my chest King Kong style. After 36 years of driving these things, I was thinking that none of 'em got me and I'm still here, able to talk about it."

"All of a sudden the car took a sharp turn--a drastic, instant move. We were at the lights anyway, so I backed out of it and turned the wheels to recover. But she didn't recover. She kept right on coming around."I figured at that time, 'Well I'm gonna go over.' I've got a deathly fear of rolling a race car, especially at those speeds. When she got to about a 45-degree angle, I figured that was it, I had bought the farm, the big casino."I didn't wanna see it happen, so I closed my eyes flat out of stark, dead fear. And missed the whole show."The car took this one tumble, and there was this terrible crack like someone hit me in the back with a 2x4, ya know what I mean?"At one time, down around 120, I thought I was upside-down, so I opened my eyes and could see that starting-line tower going away from 'em 'cause I was going backwards, and sure enough, I was upside down so I closed my eyes again. I then rode it out 'till I was almost stopped.... The crash crew was amazed that I did not go into shock."Photographer Howard Koby captured our hero during a post-crash news conference at the strip. As you can see, Ivo didn't receive a scratch from his spectacular crash.This was Tommy Ivo's last front-motor car, as the drag racing world switched to the Garlits-inspired design in less than a year.
Woody Gilmore built Ivo's first rear-motor in time for the '72 Winternationals. "I liked it right away, and it was very exciting to drive because I was out in the air and not tucked inside the body like the drivers of today's Fuelers."Ivo still match raced everything in sight, including a number of heads-up duels with Don "the Snake" Prudhomme. "Even though it was a circus, Snake would still get pissed when I beat him."Ivo's second Woody car featured wheel pants and fully fared front end. Somehow the sweet-talking Ivo got $6,000 from Wynn's and $6,000 from Valvoline to run their decals. AMT also honored this car with a 1/25 scale plastic model kit.Ivo switched to a Funny Car in '76 because that was were the action was. In fact, he participated in numerous 8-, 16-, and 32-car shows. "I did pretty good, but I had to share billing with Nationwise, put up with the corporate B.S., wear uniforms, and race at all the national events. It was no longer my show."Ivo made the switch to jets and spent the last three years of his career match racing a wide variety of cars."I built my Arrow after I left Nationwise, and for the first time in three years I could put my name back on my car, paint it the way I wanted to, and get my hands dirty again. In fact, mine was the second fastest qualifier at the '78 Winternationals, but lost a rod during a pre-race burnout against Prudhomme. After three races I was $40,000 in the hole."TV Tommy Ivo's story is depicted in this wonderful display at the National Hot Rod Association's Motorsports Museum located on the Pomona Fairplex grounds in Pomona, California. Ivo's only problem is that he doesn't own any of his cars--the T belongs to Jack Rosen, the two-motor digger to Don Garlits and the four-motor car to Norm Day. Additional museum information can be obtained by calling 909/622-2133.

Very relaxing-no hassle
Had a great vacation---Carimo responded to any issues immediately.
While we enjoyed our visit to St. Martin, we were disappointed with the villa due to ants, mosquitos, and the lack of air conditioning in the main living space. We were unable to eat meals in residence due to these conditions, costing us more to vacation than we had originally anticipated.
Villa was beautiful. Had a wonderful ocean view. The beaches of terres bases were beautiful and not very crowded.
Little Provence is a perfect little villa for one or two couples, or small family. Compact, private, great view in a terrific location. This was our second stay at this villa and we enjoyed our stay immensely
Between my wife and I this was our 5th villa stay on the island. The view was great from the villa and the location, away from the hustle and bustle but easy driving distance, as expected. Overall, however, we were not pleased with the noise level at the villa. The neighboring villa is very close and others are shouting distance. We were disappointed to have to listem to very loud country music for most of the first day and a half of our stay coming from the villa next door. Couple that with the drunken and boisterous language shouted by the neighbors we were tempted to call it off. Fortunately those folks left soon after. However, this area is under development and throughout much of every other day there were the sounds of construction, security alarms and easily overheard phone conversations. And then there were the dogs. There are many dogs in this area, some I'm convinced are wild/strays. Every day and evening the temporary quiet was interrupted.

BACKGROUND: Small-bowel cancer is uncommon and, accordingly, little is known about the epidemiology of this malignancy, especially by race and subtype.
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this analysis was to describe the distribution of small-bowel cancer in the United States by demographic, pathological, and clinical features.
DESIGN: This study was retrospective in design.
SETTING: Data from 26 population-based cancer registries in the United States from 1995 to 2008 were used.
PATIENTS: Patients diagnosed with small-bowel cancer (topography codes C17.0–17.3 and C17.8–17.9) were included.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary outcomes measured were race- and histology-specific incidence (age-adjusted rate trends and age-specific rates) of small-bowel cancer.
RESULTS: A total of 56,223 men and women diagnosed with small-bowel cancer were identified. The overall age-adjusted incidence rates for small-bowel cancer were 26.1 in men and 17.7 in women. Neuroendocrine tumors were the most common histological types of small-bowel cancer in men and women, followed by carcinoma, lymphoma, and sarcoma. In comparison with whites, the rate of small-bowel cancer was 42% greater in black men, 46% greater in black women, 34% lower in Asian-Pacific Islander men, and 37% lower in Asian-Pacific Islander women. Rates of small-bowel cancer were 24% lower in Hispanic men and 15% lower in Hispanic women than rates in non-Hispanics. The excess of small-bowel cancer in blacks and the deficit in Asian-Pacific Islanders were attributable mainly to the incidence of adenocarcinoma and carcinoid tumors. The incidence of GI stromal tumor was significantly higher among Asian-Pacific Islanders.
CONCLUSIONS: This is one of the largest studies of small-bowel cancer to date. These cancer registry data showed substantial racial and ethnic variation in the incidence of histological subtypes of small-bowel malignancy that suggest possible etiologic diversity and/or disparities in detection.

"NYU Langone is an important place to me because I spent most of my childhood there and continue to spend a lot of time there now. The doctors are extremely attentive and thorough, and their hospitality can't be matched. I've never gone anywhere else and I don't plan to."
"This donation is in honor of Chelsey Loeb, who was supported by a phenomenal NYU medical team including her neurologist, Dr. French; her epileptologist, Dr. Daniel Friedman; her incredible neurosurgeon, Dr. Doyle; and her nurse practitioners Mary Miceli and Alyson Silverberg. Chelsey is now over 100 days without a seizure and, In her words, "seizing the moment" of a gift to return to an uninterrupted lifestyle."
"The monies donated were collected from my colleagues, and we made a team donation for the holidays. Instead of buying each other "useless" gifts, we thought that we would take the money and put it to good use at NYU Langone's Children's Services. We are happy to help children in need."

Bohemian Chic 101
Fashion reporter Teri Agins answers readers' questions
Q: How do you project a bohemian/artistic style when you are 50, without looking like a crazy bag lady at one extreme or your basic museum docent/arts council type at the other?
—C.B., New York City
A: Bohemian chic works best when it's truly innate. Mixing prints with quirky jewelry takes a real knack—and those who can pull it off are confident iconoclasts who have mastered the art of assembling a jumble of items into a delectable package. The personification of this art is the octogenarian New Yorker Iris Apfel (pictured on right), whose head-turning wardrobe of vintage couture items, jazzy trinkets and ethnic artifacts has been featured in museum exhibits.
Consider starting with a basic black backdrop—flowing or skinny pants, a mid-calf, bias-cut skirt or a black sheath. Necklaces and earrings should pop—bold and unusual but not too overbearing—and the hairdo should be sleek.
Instead of the usual jacket, why not try a vintage Japanese kimono jacket, a silk print trapeze jacket (check out the Asiatica brand) or an embroidered gypsy shawl? Think juxtaposition: Pair a beat-up leather biker jacket with brocade pants. Consider accents with zip, such as cowboy boots, beaded flats, handmade purses and all kinds of glasses. As you hone your look, you'll develop a sense of how much you can add or subtract.
That said, there's no connect-the-dots here. The rewards go to the intrepid hunter who knows how to scour boutiques and bazaars and work with tailors to refashion a dress—the arty lady who moves with a swagger.

What was the (adventure) game you played last?

The last episode of Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures has finally been completed by me!
This one wasn't as memorable as the last, but it's got a lot of the last episode's good points. First, there's a new location - the Prickly Thicket country club, which is always a welcome addition to an episodic game series, especially one where the bulk of the season takes place in the same two locations (West Wallaby Street and the Town Square).
The only new character in this episode was pretty unlikable. She was supposed to be that way because of the story, but it's a shame another character wasn't added into the mix.
The jail was a lot more fun to visit this time, since for the first time there was someone in the cell who could talk. It was fun to hear his responses to Gromit, and then hear different responses when Wallace visited.
The solution to the last episodes cliffhanger was a little off-putting at first, since it seemed like they just through in a convenient way to solve the problem, but the resolution at the end of the game made the whole plot a lot more palatable.
I liked the slide-puzzle puzzle a lot.
It was a really clever way to add in a classic game as a mini-game, and reminded me (in concept, not in execution) of the very enjoyable Asteroids arcade mini-game in Wallace & Gromit in Project Zoo.
All in all, the season was tied together very well, and stayed very true to the characters (which is something Telltale has proven themselves to be capable of doing, maybe moreso than any other developer). I'd love to see another season!

All Rise...
Judge David Johnson was mugged by a harpy over the weekend. The cops didn't believe him.
The Charge
Invincible demons from darkness.
The Case
In 2007, this terrible movie was released and for some reason it has returned.
Stephen Baldwin (The Usual Suspects) stars as Jason Avery, a museum security guard and former police officer who gets sucked through a portal into a magical world and is promptly menaced by an evil sorcerer and ferocious flying ladies with an appetite for eyeballs. With the help of a beautiful farmgirl and an assortment of morons, Jason storms the castle, attacks the harpies with his shotgun and attempts to prevent the bad guy from activating a plastic ball filled with awful visual effects.
Harpies is as bad as it gets: ridiculous line readings, an unoriginal plot, a main actor who looks like he's rather be aflame and some of the worst CGI you'll ever see. The harpies themselves look like graphics from an early PlayStation game.
But, I have to say, I wasn't bored. Harpies predates the tedious, incessant stream of disaster movies the Syfy Channel has since adopted for its portfolio. So within its malformed husk of a body there still beats the heart of semi-entertaining B-movie romp.
I was awash in its awfulness and though there was just enough slapstick to kind of, sort of make me think that the filmmakers were at least flirting with the idea that it was all purposefully stupid. No, no, I don't think so. I don't buy that it's the contrived, willful dreck of something like Sharknado; I have to believe these guys really tried to make an actual fantasy adventure. Because the alternative, that these dopes were clever enough to sucker me into enjoying their subversive genre film, is simply too horrible to bear.
The DVD is an after-thought: standard def 1.33:1 full frame, Dolby 5.1 Surround, and no extras.
The Verdict
Give us your feedback!
Did we give Harpies a fair trial? yes / no

Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour making a comeback
UPDATE: Farrell's reveals Mission Viejo location/timeline
Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour is planning a major California comeback.
A series of operational blunders and legal tussles led to the closure of more than 100 Farrell's in the United States years ago. A Santa Clarita parlor is the only Farrell's left in California.
But, now, the Orange County firm that owns the Farrell's brand trademark said it plans to grow the beloved ice cream parlour concept, again. The expansion will focus in Southern California with the next one launching in central or south Orange County, said Paul Kramer, president of Parlour Enterprises in Laguna Niguel.
A Farrell's primer for Millennial-types: Growing up, I recall Farrell's being every kid's fantasy party spot.� Employees -- dressed in pin-striped vests, old fashioned ties and cane hats -- served sundaes, floats and banana splits to customers. A player piano set the musical tone as did the beat of the famous "Farrell's drum," gonged every time a major announcement was made in the restaurant.
My mom recently dug up my old Farrell's hat from her garage -- a memento from my 7th birthday party at the Farrell's in Orange at 2045 N. Tustin St. (That's me, right, and my oh-so, 1970s-hip mom. What are we wearing?)
A Farrell's party was my version of a Chuck E. Cheese bash. Seeing the red, white and blue cane hat brought back so many fun memories.
I'm not alone. Kramer says he gets dozens of emails a week from people asking: "When is Farrell's coming back?"
[caption id="attachment_5562" align="alignright" width="150" caption="My old hat"][/caption]
The New vs. Old: At its peak, Farrell's had about 130 stores in the United States -- from Staten Island to San Diego. Orange County was home to five Farrell's. Parlour Enterprises plans to open two Farrell's in 2009 and six in 2010.� The new Farrell's will maintain the original concept's classic look, but with a "modern twist," said Kramer.
"We're going to do to Farrell's what Volkswagen did to the (new) Beetle," said Kramer.
For example, the player piano is more cutting edge and interactive, offering 300 songs for customers to select. The menu will include classic American dishes, as well as contemporary meals to satisfy foodies. Servers will wear the same old-fashioned attire, but they will also use microphones to communicate with each other and to speed up orders.
Depending on which Farrell's you went to, the ice cream often changed. Bob Farrell, who founded the chain in 1963, started out with Carnation ice cream, said Kramer. Some parlors later switched to an original recipe that Farrell concocted, while other stores used "Thrifty" ice cream. Right now, Kramer said he and his partners are looking at various options, including bringing back the Thrifty brand or using Blue Bunny ice cream.
Regardless, signature desserts such as the Nutty, Nutty, Parlour's Tin Roof and Farrell's Rocky Road will remain on the menu. (Farrell's online menu.)
What about the economy?
Kramer said Parlour Enterprises has enough capital to open the Farrell's planned in Orange County. The company, however, is looking for investors -- many of whom are skittish of investing money in the fragile restaurant sector, Kramer said.
After opening two Farrell's in 2009, the company hopes to start franchising the concept. The firm believes brand recognition is on their side. The Santa Clarita Farrell's, for example, gets customers who drive up to 500 miles for a visit, said Parlour Enterprises Chief executive Michael Fleming.
"It is not very often you have a company that shuts down but still has a 98 percent positive image among previous customers," said Fleming.
The location of the Orange County Farrell's has not been decided. Stay tuned for updates.

I can't seem to post a reply in the previous topic (http://wordpress.org/support/7/2602), as it keeps timing out....so, I'll respond to some recent posts here:
Nice catch on the encoded ampersands...strange, but easy enough to fix. As for the $c in the code...that's what it's spitting out when I create a new post. I'm not using the latest build, it's from a little while ago (can't remember exactly when I downloaded it.) Could it have anything to do with the fact that I had to install .72 first, then do an upgrade? Last but not least, mod_rewrite and permalinks: I can't take advantage. My host is Win/IIS, which I need to keep for the ColdFusion support. I briefly looked into using one of the IIS mod_rewrite clones, but they can't be installed just for one virtual domain - my host would have to install it for everyone, and they're not willing to do that.
What do you mean about little teasers around the sub cats? Can you show me an example? I've posted the index file as index.txt (I tried index.phps, but the server didn't feel like displaying it in a browser.) Check it out here:
It's easy! It's alot like web development: just sprinkle a few things here and there, until you get it just how you like it. If you screw it up, toss it and start again ;-)

Rev. Daniel Dahlberg admits stealing $10K from church, gambling it away
Rev. Daniel J. Dahlberg had an itch for a little gambling money.
So he took some from the people in his flock. Dahlberg, the 68-year-old pastor of St. Patrick's in Hudson, Wisconsin, was charged this week with stealing $10,800 from the church's fund for the needy.
"It is very likely that this misconduct is the result of a serious gambling addiction which has led to personal financial issues and impaired Fr. Dan's judgment," church trustees Samuel Cari and Claire Zajac wrote in a letter.
Since he joined St. Patrick's in 2009, Dahlberg had sole access to the church's fund for helping local people. Over a period of 16 months, he slowly nabbed $10,800 from the fund. When irregularities started to appear in the church books, the church leadership became suspicious and confronted him, and Dahlberg admitted that he'd taken the money.
The erring priest stepped down from his post on March 21,and started treatment for his addiction shortly after, according to a recent letter to parishioners at the church.
The church trustees set up a plan for Dahlberg to pay back the full amount, and before he departed Dahlberg remitted his first $500. Then an anonymous third party offered Dahlberg a check made out for $10,300, so Dahlberg was off the hook. He handed over the full amount.
Dahlberg took over as pastor of St. Patrick's in 2009. Before, he'd worked as vicar general of Wisconsin's Superior Diocese, the diocese's second-highest post, from 1998.
St. Patrick's has been through a lot. In 2002, the funeral director Daniel O'Connell, 39, and James Ellison, 22 were shot at the O'Connell family's funeral home in northwestern Wisconsin. In 2004, their pastor the Rev. Ryan Erickson, hanged himself just days after police questioned him about the killings. A year later, a St. Croix County judge found probable cause that Erickson shot O'Connell and Ellison, and that he'd probably molested at least one teenage boy.

Muncie, IN
Doug Zawisza, also known as the Black Knight, was a Polish knight and nobleman. He served as a soldier and diplomat under the Polish king Wladyslaw II and Hungarian-Bohemian king Sigismund of Luxembourg. During his life, he was regarded as a model of knightly virtues and was renowned for winning multiple tournaments. His nickname is due to his black hair and his custom-made, black armor, which is kept at the Jasna Góra Monastery.
After his death, he was praised by the Polish historian Jan Dlugosz, the poet and Canon of Gniezno Adam Swinka, and by King Sigismund of Luxembourg. Zawisza became a folk hero in Poland, famed for reliability, and loyalty. The Polish Scouts oath reads partly: "...polegac na nim jak na Zawiszy" ('[you can] rely on [a boyscout] as on Zawisza'). A monument to Zawisza at Golubac fortress, Serbia, bears the inscription: "In Golubac, his life was taken by the Turks, the famous Polish knight, the symbol of courage and honor, Zawisza the Black. Glory to the hero!" Several Polish football clubs and other sports teams were named after him, including, Zawisza Bydgoszcz.

Masons' are a Big Joke. A bunch of Idiot that "Feel" seniority. XD
Posted in the Union City Forum
#68 Jul 7, 2012
For the record...women cannot join, except the eastern star. It's a fraternity, not a sorority. Blacks can also join. The only reason for prince hall lodges is because when masonry came to America blacks were slaves, and you have to be freeborn to become a mason. So they made their own masonry. Today's blacks are obviously freeborn so they can join prince hall or a blue lodge. Also to "once was", you are dead wrong on the bloody oaths. Yes that's what you say, but that's not what you mean. It's completely symbolic. Why don't you actually become a mason instead of researching stuff online and you would know that.

Albert pike admitted mason and devil worshipper believed he had a ring he could communicate to the devil with. This guy was a civil war general and his statue is still in washington. supposedly he predicted 3 world wars. they are more like blueprints but go to google and type in albert pike predicts three world wars.Apparently they came true. also look up the book morals and dogma. Masons have all types of books in their lodges teaching "secret knowledge" even magic and rituals. go to google video and type in bill schnebolen ex mason. if you need more proof of devilness watch

The Masons help people and do good things. They are attacked just like the churches and Christians are attacked. The secrecy is what kills everyone. Humans can't stand to not KNOW about things. I can tell you that God is a major part of being a Mason. Many people have attacked anything that is good and moral. Like many have said before me. If you want to know about freemasonry don't get online or read a book. All you have to do is ask. This is a ridiculous post that started probably with good intentions and has gotten out of hand with accusations and name calling. I had heard bad things about the lodge all my life until I joined. I was shocked at the type of people and the expectations required. I can assure you that a Mason will not be on this site bashing people. Freemasonry is above that type of morality and frankly have better things to do.
God bless you all.

#76 Jul 24, 2012
why would I need evidence when I know the truth. I'm a mason myself, and I know what it's about. You clearly don't. And im pretty sure you were just bashing the masons by providing FALSE evidence to this site. Now if you would like to know the truth to masonry, ask a mason in person, get a petition and go for it. If its not what ya thought, then quit and demit yourself from the fraternity.

53 signers of the Declaration of Independence were Masons under the penalty of death for doing so. George W. Bush was the last President sworn as a practicing Mason. Time to grow up.
United States
#78 Jul 25, 2012
well then that explains it youve sworn to uphold and honor the name of masonry so no matter how much daming evidence is here you will deny it so the lazy ppl wont even research it themselves and just because you are a mason and a christian doesnt mean you are smart enough to determine what conflicts with christianity and masonry. You can stay in your kabbalistic babylonian-egytian pagan masonry. For only one example Lets quote James 5:12 But above all things, my brethren, do not be swearing vows, neither by Heaven, neither by The Earth, neither by any other oath; let your word be,'Yes, yes' and 'No, no', lest you be condemned under the judgment.

My daughter can walk today thanks to the Shriner Hosital and the Masons/Shriners. That makes them heads and shoulders above you in my book.
So in summary, Masons helped my child walk...YOU on the other hand would probably take that away if given the choice! That makes you a giant turd compared to them.
Thank You to any Masons who might read this. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!

glad your kid can walk and hope everything goes good for yalls life but there is more than one childrens hospital out there with more than one organization donating to them
#82 Jul 25, 2012
Cold hard truth, on behalf of my family Masons, Templars and Shriners, thank you for recognizing the wonderful work their hospitals do with children. They themselves, however, would probably say that being able to see these children get better and get well is thanks enough. I was once at a function at Shrine where women had a gathering while the men were meeting. As we gathered to eat together, word came of a local family's emergency need for funds to get a child to a specialty hospital out of state. In no more than fifteen minutes, the cash (more than $1000 many years ago) was collected from everyone and taken to them. No questions asked, just a child in immediate need. Few groups practice such unselfish generosity in such a speedy fashion.
I am the grand-daughter, daughter, niece, and wife of Masons, and I am exceptionally grateful to have the good fortune to have them as kin.

Look up "Target Individual" speak to a "TI" about behavior modification you will Freemasonry is a wonderful waste of your time. Just remember if you become a Mason past ninth degree at one point you will answer the late night phone call and hangup screaming problably because they need you to run another couple off the road.

I know several that work at the prison that proclaim to be mason, but will lie on you to gain recognition from the boss. These same people will claim there working for a good cause but will put their nose where it doesn't belong . Don qualls is the top of the shit list at NWCX but he's a mason and the one who claims to be a mason has never called him nor Tony Parker down for their actions. Don't get me wrong my dad is and has been a mason for over 50 years and he said those thing should be reported, and they were but nothing is being done. It like a government cover up when it comes to a mason.

Rep. John Mica credits a teacher for sparking his initial curiosity about politics. (FCW photo by Stan Barouh)
Rep. John Mica (R-Fla.) is far from the first congressman to tackle the problem of wasted taxpayer dollars, but few lawmakers can match his commitment to fixing government or his general suspicion of the way agencies are currently managed. And federal executives would do well to pay attention because Mica will likely be the next chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
Although Mica has only led the committee's Government Operations Subcommittee since January, his focus on fixing government stretches back to his first term in Congress in 1993. His interest in the business of government began even earlier.
"I've been a political addict since high school," Mica told FCW. He credited a teacher for sparking that initial curiosity. He said being part of a political family helped fuel that interest: His brother Dan served for 10 years as a representative from south Florida, and another brother, David, was an aide to the late Lawton Chiles when the latter was a senator.
In the Senate, a search for solutions
Mica started his career in real estate and other businesses, then spent two years in the Florida legislature and five as a staffer for the late Sen. Paula Hawkins (R-Fla.). The turning point in his career, though, was running for Congress and winning a redistricted seat 20 years ago.
"I've been through three redistrictings, and the last one was quite the challenge," he said. "I had a primary challenge, which I haven't had since the beginning. But we did pretty good."
The subcommittee he leads has broad jurisdiction, and assuming Republicans continue to control the House, Mica is the presumed successor when term limits force Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) to step down as chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee in 2015.
Mica has often played a leadership role on congressional subcommittees that focus on government reform. He took over the Government Operations Subcommittee when House GOP term limits required him to give up the chairmanship of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. He continues to serve on that committee, where he provides leadership in setting broader infrastructure policy.
In the 112th Congress, the transportation committee took aim at the General Services Administration's mismanagement of empty buildings and unused property.
"We discovered a million square feet of unused warehouse space sitting in a prime location in Springfield, mostly used for storage," Mica said. "It's just one example of having an incredibly valuable asset and not using it to its maximum potential."
Most members of the public are unaware of the extent of government waste and inefficiency, whether it is unused real estate or redundant IT systems, Mica said. "Empty buildings are things people can understand, but IT is a little bit tougher," he said. "Issues like that, you try to bring to light. You put the focus and attention on the agencies and their mismanagement."
So far this year, Issa has handled most IT issues at the full committee level, including federal IT investment strategy reform, the Government Accountability Office's high-risk list and government transparency efforts. But Mica's subcommittee has jurisdiction over most non-workforce matters of concern to federal IT executives, and he said his panel intends to focus on data center consolidation and general government waste.
"More than a third of $80 billion goes to support obsolete or sometimes redundant IT systems," he said. "We're also looking at how we can change the acquisition process and the operations, and institute some efficiencies and better utilization of assets."
For Mica, that often means outsourcing to the private sector, and he said IT is an area in which that approach warrants further exploration.
"We have very hard, tangible evidence of the government's inability to control and manage spending. Should the government be buying equipment? Should the government even be operating that equipment?" Mica asked. "I think a lot of that could be more efficiently undertaken by the private sector, and that's something I intend to look at — getting [government] out of the acquisition process of computer systems."

After 20+ years in federal IT I can honestly say that the miriad of government procurement regulations 1) prevents us from getting the best value AND the best price, 2) causes project delays while waiting 6 months or more for much needed equipment to be procured. However we have still been able to provide IT services for less than contracted services, which usually are offered with low initial teaser rates, only to increase at the maximum allowable rates - every year...

text: Family Webicine Monday, July 27, 2009 Senior Discounts By Rod Moser, PA, PhD I was offered my first "senior discount" about 12 years ago at a Taco Bell in Michigan. I only had about three dollars in my pocket, so I ordered carefully. When my bill came to considerably less than the three dollars that I had expected to spend, I called this discrepancy to the attention of the teenager behind the counter. I felt he probably added it up incorrectly. "I gave you the Senior Discount. You people deserve it!" Seeing how I was only about 46 years old at the time, I wanted to tell him exactly what HE deserved, but I graciously accepted the unsolicited discount and pocketed my unexpected change. Was this a bit dishonest? A little, but I considered the discount compensation for the insult. Carl's Jr. always gives me a senior discount at the drive-up window (after they see me, of course). "I am going out on a limb and offering you a Senior discount. Is that okay?" "Sure. Me and Mother hear really appreciate your kindness, Sonny. Could you chop up that hamburger for us. We left our teeth at home?" Thinking someone is a senior when he is not is equivalent to asking a woman when her baby is due only to discover that she is just fat. Or, maybe not…since making this mistake is not going to earn you any monetary rewards. Soon-to-be seniors can be a sensitive group. Life has not been easy on me, so I am starting to look more geezer-like with my white hair, Santa beard (and matching Santa tummy), a bit of an arthritic walk, and a look of wisdom that only comes with advancing age (I added this last one). I am 58 years old now and will soon be attending my 40th High School Reunion. This will be my first reunion so you can sure that I will be Blogging about it come August. I can remotely understand how someone, an idiot perhaps, might mistakenly think I am a senior citizen. The local movie theater offers a senior discount, but does really post their definition of a senior. Is it 60? 62? 65? Is it when you "feel" or look like a senior? Without posting the age parameters, a senior in high school could really ask for a discount. My wife is over 62, a legal senior in some circles. At 58, I am not a senior by any legal definition. So, I asked them. It was 65. "Wonderful. Two Seniors, please." I really felt justified lying at a movie theater because they charge so damn much for popcorn ( now) and a large Diet Pepsi (.50). Who in the Hell gave them the right to charge this much? It is not bad enough to pay high movie prices; they now want to charge you for a pint of bottle water! The two dollar discount wouldn't even make a dent at the snack bar, so we have other strategies. With our senior tickets in hand, and my wife lugging a heavy purse full of sodas and some freshly-popped popcorn from home, we went on our merry way. They can bite me. I am still ticked at the theater manager for not allowing my grandson to use the restroom five minutes before the doors were officially opened. After vocalizing that I would give him permission to pee in their bushes if they didn't let him in, they very reluctantly gave the okay. I suspect they were afraid of those bulging veins on my forehead. "He's a little boy, for God's Sake. Let him pee. He is not going to run amok and terrorize your establishment. He is not going to get in line for popcorn (That's for damn sure!). He just has to pee and he's too little to hold it." I made sure that the other people in line heard what was going on in case I needed them to rush the door and starting kickin' some butt. Maybe they had to pee, too. I don't care about my social status in the community, or how much money I make in my life, I am refusing, on principle, NEVER to buy movie popcorn or soda again. If we are rushed and forget our own snacks, I would rather drink the lukewarm water fountain water and eat candy off of the floor. I am a man of the revolutionary '60s. We don't take this crap. If they hadn't let my grandson use the restroom, we would have BOTH peed in those bushes, hoping to be arrested. Attica! Attica! Civil disobedience, no matter how minor or seemingly insignificant, just feels good to stand up for the decent thing to do. The cast-in-stone rules of society should be flexible enough to allow a three year old to pee. I should really join the Grey Panthers; perhaps change my name to Rod X. Seniors (real seniors) can qualify for some other good discounts. My senior friend in Arkansas says that seniors get a 10% discount a WalMart, even if you are not a greeter. He gets discounts on his utilities, his taxes, and dozens of other things. As an AARP member (through my elderly wife, of course), I will whip out our card at hotels to get the discount. Why not? Hotels are another place that charges way too much. Seeing how they made my list of the Ten Dirtiest Places a few years ago, maybe they should be cleaning up their acts. Very soon, we heavily-taxed, working, pre-senior Baby Boomers will decide to finally hang it up and retire. Once that fixed income hits you, seniors all over this country will seek out those discounts wherever they may be, and they won't be doing it shyly. We will clip coupons out of the newspaper for oil changes and two-for-price-of-one tacos. In a few more short years, I will no longer will I be an intermittent senior…a secret senior…a pseudo-senior. I will soon be a REAL senior, entitled to all honors and privileges, including peeing the bushes if they refuse to let me use the rest room. Respectfully written,Rod X

I have an asus Gigabit Router and a gigabit NIC (Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller) witch is running at 100Mbps rather than 1000Mbps (1.0 Gbps). When I use an old laptop on the same Ethernet cable(cat6) its running succesfully at 1.0 Gbps. Means there's no problem with the setup, router nor the cable. I tried changing the speed & duplex from auto negotiation to 1.0 Gbps but its still running at 100.0 Mbps. I also have the latest driver update for my NIC.
I think im missing something but what ? What could be the problem ?

Poem Title:
SHORTLY AFTER THE REVIVAL OF LEARNING IN EUROPE. Let us begin and carry up this corpse, Singing together. Leave we the common crofts, the vulgar thorpes Each in its tether Sleeping safe on the bosom of the plain, Cared-for till cock-crow: Look out if yonder be not day again Rimming the rock-row! That's the appropriate country; there, man's thought, Rarer, intenser, Self-gathered for an outbreak, as it ought, Chafes in the censer. Leave we the unlettered plain its herd and crop; Seek we sepulture On a tall mountain, citied to the top, Crowded with culture! All the peaks soar, but one the rest excels; Clouds overcome it; No! yonder sparkle is the citadel's Circling its summit. Thither our path lies; wind we up the heights: Wait ye the warning? Our low life was the level's and the night's; He's for the morning. Step to a tune, square chests, erect each head, 'Ware the beholders! This is our master, famous calm and dead, Borne on our shoulders. Sleep, crop and herd! sleep, darkling thorpe and croft, Safe from the weather! He, whom we convoy to his grave aloft, Singing together, He was a man born with thy face and throat, Lyric Apollo! Long he lived nameless: how should spring take note Winter would follow? Till lo, the little touch, and youth was gone! Cramped and diminished, Moaned he, ``New measures, other feet anon! ``My dance is finished?'' No, that's the world's way: (keep the mountain-side, Make for the city!) He knew the signal, and stepped on with pride Over men's pity; Left play for work, and grappled with the world Bent on escaping: ``What's in the scroll,'' quoth he, ``thou keepest furled? ``Show me their shaping, ``Theirs who most studied man, the bard and sage,--- ``Give!''---So, he gowned him, Straight got by heart that hook to its last page: Learned, we found him. Yea, but we found him bald too, eyes like lead, Accents uncertain: ``Time to taste life,'' another would have said, ``Up with the curtain!'' This man said rather, ``Actual life comes next? ``Patience a moment! ``Grant I have mastered learning's crabbed text, ``Still there's the comment. ``Let me know all! Prate not of most or least, ``Painful or easy! ``Even to the crumbs I'd fain eat up the feast, ``Ay, nor feel queasy.'' Oh, such a life as he resolved to live, When he had learned it, When he had gathered all books had to give! Sooner, he spurned it. Image the whole, then execute the parts--- Fancy the fabric Quite, ere you build, ere steel strike fire from quartz, Ere mortar dab brick! (Here's the town-gate reached: there's the market-place Gaping before us.) Yea, this in him was the peculiar grace (Hearten our chorus!) That before living he'd learn how to live--- No end to learning: Earn the means first---God surely will contrive Use for our earning. Others mistrust and say, ``But time escapes: ``Live now or never!'' He said, ``What's time? Leave Now for dogs and apes! ``Man has Forever.'' Back to his book then: deeper drooped his head _Calculus_ racked him: Leaden before, his eyes grew dross of lead: _Tussis_ attacked him. ``Now, master, take a little rest!''---not he! (Caution redoubled, Step two abreast, the way winds narrowly!) Not a whit troubled Back to his studies, fresher than at first, Fierce as a dragon He (soul-hydroptic with a sacred thirst) Sucked at the flagon. Oh, if we draw a circle premature, Heedless of far gain, Greedy for quick returns of profit, sure Bad is our bargain! Was it not great? did not he throw on God, (He loves the burthen)--- God's task to make the heavenly period Perfect the earthen? Did not he magnify the mind, show clear Just what it all meant? He would not discount life, as fools do here, Paid by instalment. He ventured neck or nothing---heaven's success Found, or earth's failure: ``Wilt thou trust death or not?'' He answered ``Yes: ``Hence with life's pale lure!'' That low man seeks a little thing to do, Sees it and does it: This high man, with a great thing to pursue, Dies ere he knows it. That low man goes on adding nine to one, His hundred's soon hit: This high man, aiming at a million, Misses an unit. That, has the world here---should he need the next, Let the world mind him! This, throws himself on God, and unperplexed Seeking shall find him. So, with the throttling hands of death at strife, Ground he at grammar; Still, thro' the rattle, parts of speech were rife: While he could stammer He settled _Hoti's_ business---let it be!--- Properly based _Oun_--- Gave us the doctrine of the enclitic _De_, Dead from the waist down. Well, here's the platform, here's the proper place: Hail to your purlieus, All ye highfliers of the feathered race, Swallows and curlews! Here's the top-peak; the multitude below Live, for they can, there: This man decided not to Live but Know--- Bury this man there? Here---here's his place, where meteors shoot, clouds form, Lightnings are loosened, Stars come and go! Let joy break with the storm, Peace let the dew send! Lofty designs must close in like effects Loftily lying, Leave him---still loftier than the world suspects, Living and dying.

At the In-laws and my Mothers house the VM will not recognize the internet when using a Bridged network connection. It connects to the network, but tells me that there is "No Internet Connection". Caveat, 99.99% of the time this is true but occasionally for no reason that I can discern, the network is recognized and connects to the internet. If it connects, the VPN works flawlessly until I put the VM or the Host (OS X) to sleep or reboot.
If I switch to using a Shared Network (NAT) the internet works fine on the VM, but I cannot connect to the VPN. It gets to "Verifying Username and Password" and never goes farther. I have seen explanations online that this is ALWAYS true of a PPTP VPN on a VM, but I don't know if that is true.
At my house, it works perfect in the VM using Bridged Networking.
I might be able to get control over the routers at the in-laws and my mom's house, but not sure. Mainly I want to know what the problem is and whether I can fix it without accessing the router for the simple fact of possibly working from coffee-houses or libraries. If home is the only place my VPN will work then I can't really be mobile easily.
