Skip to comments.The Hypocritical History of Joe "Baretta" Biden on Gun Ownership Rights
Posted on 09/21/2008 5:13:10 AM PDT by MikeFrancesa.com
Old Uncle Joey is at it again:
I guarantee you, Barack Obama aint taking my shotguns. So dont buy that malarkey, Mr. Biden said. Theyre going to start peddling that to you.
Jake Tapper, at ABC Newss Political Punch blog fleshes out the Bidenisms, with this elaboration about the senators own penchant for clinging to his guns: I got two, Mr. Biden told the crowd, referring to his arms and then to Mr. Obama. If he tries to fool with my Beretta, hes got a problem. I like that little over and under, you know? Im not bad with it.
But we have a problem with Joe Bidens record on protecting the rights of gun ownership in this country. I believe he was one of the worst ratings when it comes to protecting the rights of gun owners. He also has a past history of anti gun legislation and statements. Here is Joe Biden on legislation that would ban the sale of military style weapons:
But Senate supporters of the measure said they would apply whatever pressures they can muster on the House and called on constituents to write and call their representatives. The House better understand the power of an idea whose time has come, said Senator Joseph R. Biden, the Delaware Democrat who heads the Judiciary Committee. It still will be an uphill fight in the House, but I think the wave is moving.
(Excerpt) Read more at mikefrancesa.com ...
Over and under Beretta -—— He really likes it....bet he's only pulled it out (if he really has one) once every 6 years.
Joe Biden was also a key proponent of taxation of firearms ammunition which would effectively ban firearms ownership for the vast majority of Americans.
The man is clearly lying when he said that in SW VA, Obama for the record, agrees with Biden, if anyone recalls his "Keep and Ak 47 out of the hands of" comment in his Foam Column Speech..
This is the worst ticket for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms that the Dems have ever fielded.
Stop folks ...Biden is pro-gun ....isn't he "The Gatling Gun of Gaffe"?
Joe is so cute. He tries to appeal to "ordinary" Americans by speaking poor English as he believes we do. But don't feel patronized, folks.
"Kin I get me a huntin' license here?"
Agreed, I'm really looking forward to the N.R.A. ad campaign. Can you imagine these two clowns trying to undo the damage that that set of ads will do?
It shocks me how condescending the left is when attempting to "speak" to the
"average" American!.
I'm shocked.
Joe Biden...just another lying democrat selling his soul to the devil for votes!!! Pitiful idiot!!!
I guess you've all forgotten that Joe has a much higher IQ than all of us. ROFLMAO.
Joe knows what's good for us. He and Obambi might have to take some things away from us for our "own good".
Do I need a sarcasm alert here?
It makes me physically sick to think about the damage to gun ownership rights that four years of Obama/Biden could do.
Excellent article. Great presentation of the contrast between the record and the rhetoric by Obamaden on guns.
What a hypocritical, lying sack of $h1t you are, Joey Plugs. How about the millions of ARs, M1As, FALs, AKs, SKSs, etc. in the country? 3he day the you come out and apologize for WRITING the '94 AWB, the day you publicly rebuke the Oba-grabber's lifelong stance on gun ownership, and call for the repeal of the Lautenberg law (which you voted foram BTW), the '86 machine gun ban and the "sporting purposes" language in the '68 GCA - that day I might begin to look at you differently. Until then, go pi$$ up a rope.
Elitists love to refer to expensive hunting shotguns when discussing gun rights. We won't take your $thousands hunting shotguns. Honest.
Does anybody know if this supposed Beretta rifle was a gift from a lobbyist, is there a website where Senators have to document gifts, does Biden have a hunting license?????
Shotguns are apparently the favorite guns of totalitarians. Kerry borrowed a shotgun for his famous this-dog-don't-hunt photo op.
Of cource, Joe said nothing about Obama wanting to take his handguns or AR's or bolt-action "sniper rifles." It doesn't matter if he owns none of these. He must think we're stupid: logically challenged and completely unobservant. Our AR's would disappear in a heartbeat, when they push for MORE than a "reauthorization" of the so-called "assault weapons" ban--forget grandfathering. And who needs handguns and sniper rifles? Only the police do. So kiss them goodbye, because when ONE justice retires, Obama will appoint an avowed lefty who'll piss all over the 2nd Amendment. Then, it will be time to pass or play.
I guarantee you, Barack Obama aint taking my shotguns. So dont buy that malarkey, Mr. Biden said. Theyre going to start peddling that to you.Goody for you Joe. But what about ?
I don't own a Shotgun (yet). I have one rifle that is called by YOU an 'Aassault Weapon', even though it fires a 'puny' (/s) 9mm Pistol bullet. And my other rifle fires .. better sit down Joe... a ... get ready ... Bullet!! (according to Fatso Kennedy & Chuck the Schmuck anyway).
So what about rifles Joe? Are they safe from you and Barry? Somehow I don't think so.
(forget my handguns Joe, offhand I don't know how many I own)
I just saw this clip on CNN this Sunday afternoon. There is clearly a women sleeping in the group of people behind him. It is clear this whole "crowd" was bused over on orders from their Union.

When it comes to helping senior-level women climb the corporate ranks, business schools are hoping that they have some of the answers.
With relatively few women in top managerial or C-suite roles, executive education courses are tackling what some academics have described as the women's leadership labyrinth.
Using research on gender-based leadership differences, schools such as Harvard Business School, IMD in Switzerland and Ceibs in Shanghai have created courses to help women become aware of these differences and improve their leadership style. Participants typically have more than 10 years of management experience, work in senior roles and many have MBAs.
"It's not a programme where we talk about strategy or marketing or any specific kind of content," says Ginka Toegel, director of the Strategies for Leadership programme at IMD. IMD's four-day programme began in 2004. It is offered twice a year to women with as much as 20 years' work experience. This year, IMD further expanded executive education offerings by adding Women in Leadership, a two-day event to encourage further dialogue.
After attending the University of Virginia's Darden School of Business executive education course for women leaders, Noora Jamshed picked up skills she had not realised were essential to her career.
Ms Jamshed, a vice-president at Dubai Islamic Bank in Dubai, was used to climbing the ranks of financial institution in the Middle East. However she discovered that growing work demands made her feel increasingly isolated.
Darden's Women Emerging in Leadership programme, which started in 2010, is a custom programme for senior-level women in the United Arab Emirates (an open enrolment programme is available on the Virginia campus). Covering topics from negotiation to building an executive presence, women spend five days learning the skills needed to help them advance through the ranks of companies that traditionally have few, if any, women leaders. Candidates are selected by the Emirates Institute for Banking and Financial Studies, a local educational institution.
Using real corporate cases to discuss gender differences has been eye opening, Ms Jamshed admits. She is now planning to ask for a promotion instead of waiting until her superiors broach the subject. She is also spending more time listening in meetings and waiting until the end to weigh in with her thoughts.
As well as classroom debate, the 45-strong class holds informal talks in smaller groups. And participants also work with executive coaches in one-on-one sessions to get professional feedback. Ms Jamshed says the programme has helped to put her career into perspective.
Ms Jamshed is still in contact with about 25 of her classmates, those ties that have made the most profound difference, she says.
Soft skills are the primary focus of these courses. Women are taught to build far-reaching networks, because research has shown that women tend to have smaller, although more loyal, networks than men. Workplace confidence is also cultivated, since this is something that comes more naturally to male leaders, according to researchers. Balancing work and family obligations is also discussed.
"A lot of different issues came out – how you focus on family, how you have kids and manage your career and professional success," says Portia Yee, a manager of financial planning for San Francisco-based Pacific Gas and Electric company, who attended the Women in Leadership retreat at University of California Berkeley Haas School of Business.
Professors use cases and experiential exercises to drive home specific concepts. At IMD, participants are asked to lead horses without giving verbal commands. Since horses tend to be intuitive animals, the exercise helps participants understand the importance of inner confidence as a leader. And at Haas, participants build block towers while blindfolded. The leader, who is not blindfolded, gives instructions to her team on building the highest tower. The task aims to help participants understand the impact of effective leadership.
Throughout the modules, reflection is encouraged. At Harvard, executives on the Women's Leadership Forum programme spend two hours each day dissecting a specific issue led by a programme facilitator. And at Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business, the Smith-Tuck Global Leaders Program for Women has increased the time spent on reflection by 50 per cent. Participants receive a "wisdom and insight" notebook to jot down their thoughts during the week-long course.
Ceibs began its Women in Leadership programme almost four years ago, with a focus on how women can contribute to China's economic development, as well as looking at the country's female chief executives, says Jean Lee, head of the management department. Companies such as Johnson & Johnson and China Mobile send their female executives to the course, with approximately 60 students per cohort. About 20 per cent of participants are entrepreneurs, says Ms Lee, who is considering a separate programme aimed at female entrepreneurs.
Women-only programmes also help to foster long-lasting connections. At Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management, participants from a range of companies come to campus four times during a year to attend open programmes. Participants are encouraged to keep in touch by attending alumni events for senior leaders.
"We're focused on helping them to create a network of other senior females and to use those other women as a sounding board and as a source of information," says Victoria Medvec, executive director of Kellogg's Center for Executive Women. "It can be very lonely [for female] chief executives."
The school runs two executive-level women-only programmes: one for senior leaders and another for women on the boards of large companies.
However, schools have discovered it is important to pay attention to perceptions when offering such classes. Gender can be a touchy subject for senior executives who have already worked through similar hurdles earlier in their careers. Last year, IMD changed the name of its course to Strategies for Leadership from Strategic Leadership for Women. Participants did not like the [original] name of the programme, says Prof Toegel.
. . .
Other schools continue to tweak their programmes. The class size at Harvard's Women's Leadership Forum programme increased by 50 per cent this year to 70 participants, after HBS implemented stricter admissions criteria, calling for more years of experience for top-flight executives. And at Berkeley, the leadership programme expanded from three to four days this year due to participant demand, says management of organisations professor Laura Kray. For top female executives these leadership skills are not readily available and participants were requesting an extra day of instruction, she adds.
"That stuff doesn't get the proper airtime in everyday life, [here] it's not taught in a touchy-feely mom group kind of way," says Prof Kray.
Not all schools have been won over by the merits of such classes however. Critics say that men and women benefit from being together when learning about leadership qualities and segregating them can be a disadvantage. Both Insead in France and Singapore and the Judge school at the University of Cambridge have had to shut down similar offerings due to lack of demand for female-only programmes.
"The women didn't want to be in an unusual or atypical situation in the business sense," says Allison Wheeler-Héau, director of open programmes at Judge. "It created an artificial environment."

Sorry title isn't all that clear but several of my plugins that I'd like to disable when WPtouch is active - ie redirecting to the mobile theme. I'd like to avoid doing browser sniffing all over again since WPtouch has already done that. Wondering is if there is a function in WPtouch or a suggested way to programmatic test for this.
Similar to testing for Admin pages or Feed pages,

Any thoughts or help appreciated.

Bif Naked diagnosed with breast cancer
Flamboyant Vancouver singer Bif Naked has been diagnosed with breast cancer.
Naked announced her diagnosis Sunday on George Stroumboulopoulos's radio show, saying she wanted to remind women of the importance of breast self-examination. Naked, whose real name is Beth Torbert, is 36.
She discovered the lump in her breast during self-examination shortly before Christmas, said her manager, Peter Karroll, and is scheduled to undergo a lumpectomy this week, followed by chemotherapy.
"It's serious enough for [doctors] to escalate all of their medical treatments," he said. "It's not the worst and it's not the easiest [level of cancer]. It's stage 2 in that she's getting some extensive surgery, a lumpectomy, and they're going into her lymph nodes in one arm. The cancer is an aggressive form."
It's well known that the punk rock singer leads a healthy lifestyle; she is a non-smoker, committed to a strict fitness regimen and vegan raw food diet.
"She thought she was indestructible, given her lifestyle, so she's really concerned that other women do the checks," he said
The singer and actress joins a growing group of female celebrities to be struck with breast cancer in the prime of their lives.
Singer Sheryl Crow discovered her breast cancer two years ago at age 44, and Australian pop star Kylie Minogue was diagnosed in 2005 at age 37. High-profile Canadians who've received a breast cancer diagnosis include CBC TV host Wendy Mesley, who discovered a lump at age 48, and MP Belinda Stronach, who underwent a mastectomy and breast reconstruction last year, at age 41. All those women have received a positive prognosis for recovery.
Naked has the attitude of a fighter, and she even has the word "survivor" tattooed on her arm. On The Strombo Show, she said she was grateful her husband is "an ass man."
Naked is a Juno Award winner best known for hits 'Daddy's Getting Married' and 'I Love Myself Today'.

GeometryField does not allow setting blank=True and null=False
|Reported by:

|Needs documentation:

|Easy pickings:
Sometimes you want to populate a required field's missing value with a value generated eg. from other form fields.
One common idiom for doing this is to have SomeField(blank=True, null=False) and provide the missing value in eg. the Form's clean() method.
For example, I've done variations on this a lot:
class Foo(Model): geom = PointField(blank=True, null=False) address = CharField(max_length=100) class Meta: app_label = 'myblock' # or whatever, class FooForm(ModelForm): class Meta: model = Foo def clean(self): geom = self.cleaned_data.get('geom') if not geom: self.cleaned_data['geom'] = geocode(self.cleaned_data['address']) return super(FooForm, self).clean()
But with a GeometryField, that doesn't work, because of these lines in
GeometryField.clean() in django/contrib/gis/forms/fields.py :
if not value: if self.null and not self.required: # The geometry column allows NULL and is not required. return None else: raise forms.ValidationError(self.error_messages['no_geom'])
Effectively, this makes blank=True meaningless.
As far as I know, GeometryField is the only FormField shipped with django that behaves this way.
This is surprising and inconsistent, and leads to odd workarounds to convince forms.GeometryField to leave you alone. Eg. hacking a ModelAdmin's formfield_for_dbfield() like so:
def formfield_for_dbfield(self, db_field, **kwargs): if db_field.name == 'geom': kwargs['required'] = False kwargs['null'] = True return super(MyModelAdmin, self).formfield_for_dbfield(db_field, **kwargs)
Fixing this is trivial. Patch attached.

Wow, just by agreeing with them i get a diamond watch and a chance to win big money. Now doesnt that sound awesome for a 19 year old. SO i agreed to everything.. thinking in my head yeah i will just cancel it.
Then they wanted my account number which i did not want to give them. But the guy was soo nice and made me feel so secure. ( good job a*****e) So i got some magazines in the mail and a list saying that i can pick everyone i want..
Oh yeah at first they wanted 50 a month and i told them i will not pay that much for magazines so they dropped it down to 29.95 a month.
So thought nothing bad of it, till i told my mother and she flipped and i tried to cancel it and they said i cant, im on recording and i agreed to it.
Then good ol' mom called and they told her to contact a lawyer and they will see me in court.
So i stopped paying, now 5 times a day someone calls for me, using first name only... And they have my last name wrong, which they never say anyway. And they try to give me a settlement now.. of 199 which 2 months ago a lady said she will give me a settlement of 150... Oh i owe them $359..
Which is wrong, If i agreed to pay 29.95 for 2 years that would be a total of $718.80 right. Now they said i paid 7 of 20 payments... Which its suppose to be a total of 24 payments and they say my balance is 359 which, if they knew what they where talking about i owe them $509.15. Ok you get my drift.
They dont know what you they are talking about they just want money.
And guess what they arent getting a dime from me anymore!

AUTHOR: The Way It Is - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Sunday, January 20, 2008POSTED: Sunday, January 20, 2008
Then, yes- we told you that you'd receive a diamond quartz watch for participating as a customer. After that, however, you'd receive 2 magazines at no cost & 2 you'd help out with: It's 40% off the news stand's price, 3.83 a week for 48 months, then asking to put a good word in if someone was to check up on them. After going over it a second time, explaining that we GUARANTEE the service for the full 48 months and you can switch the magazines anytime, they ask for permission to place your order.
You could have said no- explained that you don't read (probably can't read) magazines...maybe asked them to slow down a little too if you had a problem hearing them..?
So! You get your order # and get a call from the billing department. The 1st thing they ask is if the previous person was nice & polite, etc. Then they immediatley explain that your receiving 4 magazines; 2 at no cost, 2 you pay for 3.83 for 48 months but you can switch them anytime, and ask "Was that the way you understood it?" They explain how it's 16.60 a month & we consolidate the billing 3 months at a time ( 16.60 x 3 = 49.81 )
When they get the card info they get a PREAUTHORIZATION which is a PENDING charge, and because it's 'pending' it shows as a withdrawal but be assured it's just in suspense(your bank will even tell you that). It doesn't actually come off until the date you set up with the 3rd and final person. Keep in mind, we deal with card info on all the calls, therefore all 3 calls will be unknown/unavailable.
We speak with so many people a day, literally talking with thousands in 1 day. I apologize for any inconvenience you may suffer but you did put yourself in this situation; you admit to not paying attention & not really listening, yet you felt ripped off. We tried to be as thorough as possible and even gave you our real name's & location. If we were a scam- WHY WOULD WE DO THAT?
ASK QUESTIONS! SPEAK UP! DON'T BE A PUSS OVER THE PHONE THE OTHER PERSON CANT BITE YOU~ ASK "What's the total price?" or, "Can I cancel?" Don't just ASSUME you can cancel, and in this you even say "I was thinking- I'll just cancel it later." It's like why would you waste everyone's time???
We're just honest people trying to make an honest living. I only want to sell to people who want magazines :) ANOTHER THING! The reason they ask you don't cancel is for inflation. Prices ever inflate on the newsstand yours does not because they buy them in advance to guarantee the rate wont change. We just ask that you switch them overtime as you read & enjoy them.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Cape York, West Greenland
Just before breakfast, National Geographic Explorer passed Kap York (Danish). This landmark is located at the southern end of Melville Bay. We sailed along a seemingly endless row of icebergs. These colossal slabs of ice have calved off from the Greenland icecap. Of all the frozen fresh water on the planet, Greenland holds an estimated 9 percent (cf. Antarctica 90% and the rest only one percent). Thus our morning exploration aimed for more close encounters with ice. Virtually all our guests joined Zodiac cruises to see glacial ice up close. We zig-zagged through–as one excited guest described it – "a massive forest of icebergs," right up to an impressive glacier front, in places over 100 feet high. The bright sunshine created harsh light conditions for photography. Nevertheless there were still great opportunities to capture a multitude of forms, colors, and also the tiny Zodiacs like miniature toys against the white backdrop of immense walls of ice.
During the afternoon we enjoyed two different, but neatly interconnected presentations by naturalists Karen Copeland and Ian Bullock. Read More>

Espanola Island
This morning we dropped anchor at Gardner Bay, Espanola Island, the oldest island in the Galapagos archipelago. It was overcast and a little bit gray, however the first group of kayakers left early before breakfast and enjoyed a great adventure. After breakfast, a briefing about snorkeling was held and right afterwards our guests were suited up with everything they needed: masks, snorkels, fins, wetsuits, flotation devices and a snorkel bag. Two options were offered, deep water snorkeling at Gardner Islet and snorkeling off the beach. I was in charge of the beach snorkeling this morning and it was really nice. We headed to the turquoise waters and snorkeled along the rocky coastal area and got to see a lot. We saw white salemas, razor surgeonfish, king angelfish, wrasses, damselfish, and a marble ray! A good start indeed for the first snorkeling in shallow waters and the guests at Gardner Islet had a great time with young and playful sea lions! At the end everyone enjoyed the white sandy beach, considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Not even pictures can capture the beauty and uniqueness of this wonderful place!
There was time to observe the Galapagos sea lions and take many pictures and the Espanola mocking bird species was posing in front of the cameras, competing with yellow warblers for the attention of our guests. Read More>

Kuressaare, Saaremaa Island, Estonia
Our first day after embarking the ship in Tallinn offered a visit to the Estonian Island of Saaremaa and an opportunity to interject ourselves into the simpler, more terrestrially-connected way of life many of the islanders here continue to embrace. We enjoyed traditional, locally-prepared cuisine; reveled in regional dance and song; and put our bodies to use with hands-on soap and bread-making demonstrations. By days end, we slipped away into the Baltic Sea with bodies at least somewhat tired from an "honest days' work" and the beautiful music and songs of Estonia replaying in our minds; fitting for a country shaped by a singing revolution..

Ideal Cove & Petersburg
Silvery raindrops did not hold us back from heading up the trail from Ideal Cove along the eastern margin of Mitkof Island. This beautiful example of temperate rain forest was carpeted with a vibrant understory of devil's club, bunchberry dogwoods, blueberries, and ferns. Cushions of moss and delicate strands of lichens adorned the branches of Sitka spruce and western hemlock trees that surrounded us and a creek below the trail. Many hikers reached a bridge near a portion of the stream widened by beavers. Some continued past this spot, and fast-paced hikers maintained a good clip to follow a loop trail. Leisure-paced and photo groups spent time investigating the area near our landing in detail and experimented with camera gear and macrophotography before all returned to the ship so that it could be repositioned for the afternoon.
Petersburg is not a shopping town on the cruise ship circuit, but rather a working community dedicated to commercial fishing. Read More>

Hvalsund, Thule & Bowdoin Fjord, Greenland
Time is a strange thing–we left Iceland only 13 days ago but with such a treasure trove of wonders behind us, we all feel as if we have been on board since July. Time has also yanked us forward, for we lost an hour last night and another just after lunch today. They will probably turn up eventually, but who cares, when we pack whole lifetimes into each day? This morning was a classic Arctic dawn, calm sea, blue sky embroidered with lacy cirrus, a fleet of small icebergs drifting by and our faithful fulmars.
Turning into Bowdoin fjord, the usual plain Greenland landscape suddenly became into a geological art gallery. Read More>

Tracy Arm & The Brothers
This morning, we awoke to precipitous cliffs lining the glacial fiord of Tracy Arm. As we cruised by dramatic mountains, the aftermath of Pleistocene glaciation surrounded us with U-shaped valleys, sheer waterfalls, and narrow gorges leading up to South Sawyer Glacier. The fjord was packed with gargantuan, captivating icebergs and soon we piled into the expedition landing craft for a closer look!
Cameras snapped shots left and right of the icy asunder until some mountain goats, with adorable kids nipping at their heels, stole the spotlight. Read More>

80 Degrees North
The name of this expedition is Epic 80! The longest expedition of the Arctic season that would encompass two landmasses and many islands, view wildlife, and learn about the modern and ancient cultures that live and lived here. It has been epic in many ways. Incredible views of iconic Arctic species and great weather to create opportunities for finding the wildlife. Today though was not so much about wildlife but making our goal of 80 degrees north latitude. The Captain and expedition leader kept a wary eye on both the wind and ice charts to see when a window would open up and give the ship her opportunity. Today was the day. With little to no wind the ice movement would be predictable so we started north with Ellesmere Island on our port side and Greenland to our starboard. By breakfast we were north of 79 and making good distance. There was ice present but it was smaller floes easily navigated through. By lunch we were getting closer. After lunch an announcement came from the bridge that we were just a few nautical miles from our goal. The ice was getting thicker and the floes larger, but when you attempt to get just 600 nautical miles from the North Pole, ice will be encountered. Then the captain found a lead and pushed the ship towards it. Cameras were clicking on the bridge to commemorate the crossing as it was shown on the many GPS units present on the bridge. The master blew the ships horn and all celebrated.
The best way to celebrate was with a polar plunge! The ship was stopped and a platform was put down so those that wanted could jump into the frigid 30 degree water at 80 degrees north. Read More>

We sailed overnight across the mouth of the Gulf of Bothnia and through the islands of southwest Finland in to the city of Turku. Turku is a city of great historic significance following its establishment in the 13th century and numerous invasions subsequently. For a long time it effectively served as the capital of Finland, and officially became the capital under Russian rule. Today it is of less official significance, but its history lives on within the modern, vibrant city.
This morning we began with a number of tours of the old city. Read More>

I have my doubts as whether they will refund me at all.
My advice, avoid all companies and individuals like this.
http://www.calastrology.com http://www.dassi-inc.com/
Calastrology have yet to issue a refund. If they do i will respond here. I asked for an email to let me know they had received my request. How can a company be so fast in taking your money but not refudning it. Where is the evidence that they have been in bsuiness since 1970. In any case this would not make them reputabl ein any way, many multi national corporations are corrupt or dubious that are far older than this, centuries old.
I would say, they are possibly a scam. If they refuse to refund me or ignore me or do refund me I will respond either way! I will NOT give you my order number in public because I want all customers treated equally. If they do not refund me by their own accord in due time, they a a fraud!

We have been practicing on our own since July. We've attended one competition as spectators. we pretty much agree that we need some experience before we shell out the $$$ for meat and comp fees. We are looking for a team or teams that would allow us to pit b**** for them next season in the Mid Atlantic region. I will be attending KCBS judging school in Feb. I'm a MABA and KCBS member. We are currently cooking on a OK Joe offset, a 22.5 WSM (doing our 2nd cook on it today). We also have 22.5 and 18.5 Weber kettles.

Emilie Clark at the Lynden Sculpture Garden
Like a Victorian naturalist, Emilie Clark has made a careful study of her subject, complete with field notes, writing, drawings and paintings. Her subject? Her own life, as a woman, an organism and a thinker.
Inspired by the life and works of Ellen Henrietta Richards, who introduced the term "ecology" into the English language and who was the first female student and instructor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Clark has embodied Richards' century-old research methods and practices during the last year or so. »Read Full Blog Post

'Ender's Game' doesn't treat themes, issues lightly

Aging stars make 'Last Vegas' a safe, predictable bet
"Last Vegas" is an early-bird special of a movie. Ninety minutes in and out. Who needs an all-you-can-eat buffet when what you really want is a little song, a little dance, a little seltzer down the pants?
This geezer — and I use the term affectionately — buddy comedy goes exactly where you expect. There is booty, "Fiddy" and prescription drug use. But the geriatric fraternity of experienced actors slips these caricatures on like a pair of sensible shoes. »Read Full Article

Giants CB Thomas: Some teammates 'don't care' about 0-6 start
Giants CB Terrell Thomas says being 0-6 has weighed heavily on him but admits that not all his teammates are as angry as he is about the winless start.
The Giants' slow-motion train wreck enters its seventh week following Thursday's 27-21 loss to the Bears. And despite safety Antrel Rolle's proclamation that New York could win out, the reality is that this is one of the worst teams in the league.
Giants cornerback Terrell Thomas says being 0-6 has weighed heavily on him but admits that not all his teammates are as angry as he is about the winless start.
"I think some are, I think some don't care," Thomas said Friday, via the New York Daily News. … "Everybody's different," he continued. "Some people can lose a game and go about their day very easily. Others can't sleep that night. I'm one of those guys. I got home at 4:30, probably didn't go to sleep until about 6. I was just laying in bed."
The problems are many for the Giants -- the offensive line, the running game, the franchise quarterback, the pass rush, the secondary … pretty much all phases, which Thomas readily concedes.
"When you're 0-6 it's everything," he said. "It's the coaches. It's the players. It's team harmony. All that effort ... that don't matter. We're professionals. That comes naturally. It's the game we're paid for. But right now our jobs are on the line so we better bring the effort. The coaches better coach hard. They better put us in better situations. The players have to make plays. That's how we're looking at it. That's how it's going to be around here."
If the Giants are going to salvage their dignity, the next three games provide a great opportunity. They'll face the Vikings on Monday night in Week 7, the Eagles six days later, and then the Raiders following their Week 9 bye. Of course, when you're 0 for 2013, there aren't any gimme wins on the schedule because, well, you are the weekly homecoming opponent.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Garcia/Crawford Double in The Works For June 15th
By Miguel Rivera
Top Rank is working on an HBO televised doubleheader for June 15th, which is going to feature two of their up and coming stars. The main event is going to showcase WBO featherweight champion Mikey Garcia (31-0, 26KOs), who might defend his title against Puerto Rico's Orlando Cruz (20-2-1, 10KOs). The televised opener would feature undefeated junior welterweight Terence Crawford (20-0, 15KOs) against an opponent to be determined.

Hunters found the skeleton in woods off Georgia Highway 110 north of the Atkinson community about 3 p.m. Tuesday and informed the Brantley County Sheriff's Office, said Mike McDaniel, special agent in charge of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation's Kingsland office.
The Sheriff's Office and GBI collected the remains and sent them to a crime lab where tests yielded the possible age range and the race and sex of the victim, the GBI said.
McDaniel did not provide information on the cause of death or whether the preliminary tested had provided one.
McDaniel said his office has contacting law enforcement agencies in the area to let them make comparisons with missing persons files.
Investigators, who spent three days working the scene were hampered by strong thunderstorms. Cadaver dogs were at the scene Thursday morning to make sure no clues had been missed.

Arsenal Message Board
So, I hear Beckham's dropped from the England squad... I for one am not sad for him, he washolding the team back. This would give more chances to youngsters like SWP and Lennon two very talented and speedy kids. What do y'all think about this decision?Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

On Becks i take d fifth, but i think Mclaren is a joker, time will tell
- 1 Reply to A Yahoo! User
Not sure if Macca is being brave here or just producing a populist cheap shot straight from his PR people.
Becks has not really done anything wrong, he was just over indulged by a crap manager, hardly his fault.
I would like to see him stay on but playing as he does for Real rather than the Sven set up where the whole team play was designed to make him look good.
Whatever happens, he always did his best for England and any other team he played for and I hope he continues to have a long and successful career.
I am not taken in by Maclaren - he is going out of his way to dissociate himself from the Sven era but in my opinion he must take a lot of the blame as his assistant. I cannot believe he had nothing to do with Svens crazy decisions.Also, look at the drab way Boro played, the latter stages of their EUFA cup run excepted. I hope he does well for England but cannot bring myself to expect anything that great.
I hope Macca has also had the balls to give Lampard a pretty stiff kick up his backside with a warning never to repeat those world cup performances or else.

Crouch 80 min
Liverpool 2 - Chelsea 1
He gives liverpool extra options just like he'll give England
What do people see in Crouch,I think hes crap..
I just hope that dropping Beckham wasn't just a "Hey, here I am!" from McClaren and that he'll actually keep that ruthlessness during his time as manager. If Beckham was poor at the WC, Lampard was awful. I don't remember him making any impact in any of the WC games. Out of interest, what would be your England team and formation? This would be mine:
A formation similar to Chelsea's 4-3-3 of last season, with Gerrard and Rooney, the best players England have right now, seeing a lot of the ball. Cole and Lennon/SWP on the wings, putting crosses into the box for Crouch, Gerrard and Rooney to get on the end of. You can also switch to a 4-4-2 at ease by pulling back the wingers and moving Rooney forward, which would be better suited if Owen is playing (if he ever regains fitness) or a smaller striker such as Defoe is put on. What are your thoughts?
whilst i agree the yid lennon is quick and can get passed his man.
i have yet to see either of the 2 you mention cross the ball or score free kicks like beckham
I think that decision is wrong on 2 counts
1 what i said above
2 fans might like to say a proper goodbye

Aside from his crosses and free kicks, which were poorer than usual at the world cup, he contributed very little recently.
A Yahoo! User Aug 12, 2006 10:27 Flag
I think SWP needs a lot more match experience after being dumped on the bench at Chel$ki. I liked Lennon a lot when he came on for England. He was terrorising the opponnents. Beckham was THE man for taking free-kicks, I don't think there'll be another like him for a while. His passion and work rate were fantastic, his time was up though. I'm glad he had the good sense to give it up before it went completely pear shaped.

Ducks' Beleskey, Lydman in recovery
Ducks winger Matt Beleskey underwent surgery Wednesday to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder and is expected to be fully recovered in five months, the club announced.
He becomes the second Ducks player in three days to have surgery. Defenseman Toni Lydman underwent successful surgery Monday to fix a torn labrum in his right shoulder and also is expected to fully recovered in five months.
Beleskey's surgical procedure was performed by Dr. Orr Limpisvasti at Kerlan-Jobe Surgery Center in Los Angeles.
Beleskey, 22, split time between the Ducks and the AHL's Syracuse Crunch this season. The left wing had three goals, seven assists and a minus-10 rating in 35 with the Ducks and had 11 goals and 13 assists along with a minus-3 rating in 27 games for the Crunch.
Beleskey had one point in six playoff games against Nashville, a goal in their 4-3 Game 3 loss to the Predators.X
For Lydman, based on the recovery timetable, it is possible he won't be ready for the start of the 2011-12 season when the Ducks head to his native Finland to face Buffalo on Oct. 7 in Helsinki.
Lydman had been playing with the torn labrum for well over two months according to General Manager Bob Murray. The veteran is coming off a strong season as his plus-32 rating put him in a three-way tie for second in the NHL behind Boston's Zdeno Chara while also contributing three goals and 25 points.
"We are certainly pleased that Toni's injury has been corrected and look forward to him returning to full strength in about five months," Murray said in a statement. "We also commend Toni for playing through the injury, something he was deadling with since February."
Lydman had the procedure done by orthopedic surgeon Dr. Orr Limpisvasti at Kerlan-Jobe Surgery Center in Los Angeles.

These yellow-spotted keelback (Xenochropis flavipunctatus) snakes are rear-fanged and do have venom, however there are no reported deaths from them. The snake would need to bite hard and chew the venom into wound for a minute or so in order to really envenomate a human. Not many humans are willing to let a strong biting snake do that. Don't you be the first!
