He took on too many builds because he is making over 60.00 an hour on RPD's and the money looked good. However he screwed his customers because he was greedy. Let's face it, at $875 a pop he stood to gross $39,000 just off of the RPD builds. His overhead as a one man shop is very low. I know, I run a one man shop in the evening.
Hopefully he can lower the number of builds he is taking in, make his lead time more reasonable and be honest about it, and be successful. As a pro-second amendment person, I would like to see more and more people with FFL's, but we don't need more that make promises they can't keep which is unfortunately quite common among people who go from a hobby to a business. When he reduces his lead time, he'll have a more stable cash flow (instead of nothing for months then one giant lump sum), and business will be much less stressful for him.

Randomly getting kicked from MP games and losing survivors
I thought ND patched it so you wouldn't lose survivors on getting kicked unless you quit but that's still happening. I just got sent back to the find game screen twice with no message. One of the times, it didn't even get past the loading screen and I got penalized.
I didn't quit and my connection is fine. What's the deal? Please fix. Really wish there was a beta.
randomly kicked from online games?
Is anyone else getting randomly kicked from multiplayer games and then getting punished with your survivors being hungery and sick? I love the mp but i wish this issue was fixed.
Re: randomly kicked from online games?
on two separate occassions this morning i "lost connection to host". i was not signed off of psn, just removed from that game. it sucks because as you said, your survivors are punished. just about everyone was sick and a few died after having everyone healthy prior to that. i really hope this is addressed.
Re: randomly kicked from online games?
i wlda prefered all my population getting sick over killed, got disconnected from 1 game and lost 124 population and failed my hunter campaign....im starting over but its rly discouraged me from playing
Re: randomly kicked from online games?
yeah both me and my party member have been kicked a combined 3 times out of 2 matches. It seems like its happening to a lot of people hopefully just like the autosave glitch this gets a patch fairly quickly.
Re: randomly kicked from online games?
Yeah it keeps happening to me too. Just got kicked from 2 games in a row and went down from 87 survivors to 29, on the last day of week 11! If this doesn't get patched fast I won't be playing anymore.
Re: randomly kicked from online games?
yeah i had 79 and im down to 26 survivors now in week 12 and im only down to 79 because of the other few times I was kicked over the course of a few weeks
Re: randomly kicked from online games?
Having the same problem with disconnects and being kicked in public games.
Not really playable for me anymore since i always get disconnected one way or the other.

WarVox and Asterisk
I have an Asterisk server setup that is accepting both SIP and IAX2 (of which I have created accounts for each). I am able to call from one to the other internally so can call from my IAX2/warvox account to my SIP/bill account (and vice-versa) via softphones.
I have purchased an account with a VoIP provider that does not directly support IAX2, they support SIP (hence why I'm trying to set this up). I have configured Asterisk to work with this service and can also make external calls (to landlines) from either my IAX2 or SIP softphones.
When I plug the information into WarVox (1.2) running on BT5R1 x86, I am unable to successfully make a call (internal or external). Every attempt comes up as "Fail=1" and 0/1 answered.
Reviewing a successful call vs. WarVox call in wireshark, it appears that WarVox is being rejected by my Asterisk server.. I see it do a 'REGREQ' (assume that's a Registration Request) then a 'NEW' call but it receives a 'REGREJ' followed by a 'REJECT.' My guess is that the registration request is being rejected followed by the call attempt being rejected.
Any thoughts?

[quote user="slipknottin"][quote user="NYG_88"]For the first round pick? I mean I think the Giants bigger needs are LB and O-Line but this 32 pick can go anyway depending on the how the top 5 picks go.[/quote]
For any pick, doesnt matter.
Bigger argument is player rankings, is Kuechly a better player than Fleener. Which I do believe he is.
Giants always draft mix of value and position of need.
Both Fleener & Kuechly would fit both if avaliable at 32. So its likely a matter of which they think is the better player.
But I think that decision is made for the giants, very improbable that both are avaliable at 32. And I dont think Hightower is as good a player as Fleener, not by a long shot[/quote]
If it presents itself between Kuechly and Fleener for the 32nd pick, it would be interesting which they would go. Think most Giants fan would choose Kuechly and I would too.

Partying Like a Southern Rock Star
Saving Abel's Scott Bartlett on vodka shot face-offs, biting asphalt in North Dakota and his most memorable rock 'n roll party
What happens when you mix Jäger, vodka and the raging testosterone of a 6'3", 230-pound guitarist of a rising southern rock band? We caught up with Saving Abel's Scott Bartlett to get the full story on his most memorable "party like a rock star" moment:
The best one that comes to mind was on our way to play Sturgis for the first time. I don't remember much of it, but this is the story the rest of the band recalls….
We get on the bus for the long drive out west, and the last thing I remember is getting into a drinking competition with this team of Jäger girls. They each did five shots, and there were four of them, so I did 20. Mind you, this was at the height of my drinking, so I was in good shape. They were little shots, but needless to say it got a little hairy after that.
At this point, I'm just sitting on the bus wasted. I can barely fucking stand up. Our bus driver said, "I've driven Skynyrd, AC/DC, and I've never had to stop a bus because a band member couldn't sit without falling down and knocking his head on the floor." Our other guitarist was just trying to egg it on, so he challenged me to a drinking competition. Clearly I'm already done, but he brings out a fifth of vodka, which I don't really drink, and there's a third of it left. He's pretending to pull off the bottle but was actually just doing the bubble trick and not drinking it. So then I say, "Lemme show you how I do this where we're from" and finished it. And that's when our guitar tech at the time, who is as much a degenerate as anyone I know (love him to death, but you know), he runs up to the front and was like "I'm actually worried about Scott." That's when we stopped the bus.
Mind you, we're in the middle of North Dakota off the highway. Nothing but fields. Apparently they stopped the bus, and I decided I was just gonna take off sprinting through this field. (I really wish we had the Flip Cam back then.) I take off running and then finally, after who knows how long, I come running back to the bus and apparently just eat shit on the asphalt. Scratched my entire face, everything, just laying there in the middle of the road, laughing maniacally.
Somehow they get me back on the bus, and everybody's screaming at our other guitarist for bringing out the vodka. They say I was just lying on the floor like a dog at this point, and our guitar tech brought over a doggie dish and was like, "If you're gonna act like a dog, drink like a dog." So I was doing that, drooling on myself…it was all very sexy. Then our guitarist Jason came into my bunk to hug me to apologize, and I took it the wrong way. I just snapped and grabbed him by the neck and flung him into his bunk. Then he grabs a nail file and goes straight for my jugular to defend himself, and I catch his hand. To paint the visual, I've got a hand on his neck, and I've got his hand in my hand holding the file back from my crotch and the bus is just rolling down the freeway.
They go get our bus driver, who was this ex-military security guy, and he stops the bus again and comes back and sees me. He tags me in a pressure point, and I just go down like a sack of bricks. And that's where I woke up the next day.
What can I say? I'm in a rock band—my body likes alcohol. We're a southern rock band, we're that band that drinks too much whiskey and fights each other. And I'm just one of those people that when I'm wasted, I'm kind of like the life of the party. Thank god we had a day off the next day before the concert. I was fine. My body has a way of bouncing back. The human body is a resilient thing.
Saving Abel is currently on tour. Keep up with Saving Abel via the band's website, and check out Scott Bartlett's new ink-inspired clothing line at tatcodesign.com.

Reviews of this property
Hello, We loved our week at the apartment of Diana. It is great (ie Latin Quarter, one of Notre Dame, near Mouffetard, near grocery) and it feels very safe. Inside there is room for a family of four. I definitely recommend the apartment. Sns doubt take two months in advance to ensure their availability. Diane thank you again and also Pierre (who cared to meet us), or Madame Sabba the concierge of the building!
Nous avons beaucoup aimé notre semaine à l'appartement de Diane. Il est super bien situé (i.e. quartier latin, à un pas de Notre-Dame, près du quartier Mouffetard, épicerie proche) et on s'y sent très en sécurité. A l'intérieur il y a de la place pour une famille de quatre personnes. Je recommande définitivement l'appartement. Sns doute se prendre deux mois à l'avance pour vous assurer de sa disponibilité.
Merci encore Diane et aussi Pierre (qui s'occupait de nous rencontrer), voire à madame Sabba la concierge de l'immeuble!
The apartment is beautifully located between the Seine and near the Pantheon, next door shop, bakery around the corner, near restaurants and two metro stops. All comfort in kitchen and bathroom. The flat is very dark because you only have a view of two tiny courtyards. You should always turn on the light. There are not really two separate bedrooms. There is a sofa bed in the living room of lesser quality. The bathroom is connected to the only real bedroom. The apartment is suitable for two couples so, perhaps have a family, though our kids slept badly on the sofa bed.
Het appartement is schitterend gelegen, tussen de Seine en de buurt van het Pantheon, winkeltje naast de deur, bakker om de hoek, vlakbij restaurants en twee metrohaltes. Alle comfort in keuken en badkamer. De flat is wel erg donker omdat je alleen maar uitzicht hebt op twee hele kleine binnenplaatsen. Je moet altijd het licht aansteken. Er zijn ook niet echt twee aparte slaapkamers. Er staat een divanbed van mindere kwaliteit in de woonkamer. De badkamer is verbonden met de enige echte slaapkamer. De flat is niet geschikt voor twee stellen dus, eventueel wel voor een gezin, al hebben onze kinderen slecht geslapen op het divanbed.
Location is very good. Located in Paris and quiet. Subways nearby. Service very good. Resolve problems as quickly. Cozy apartment like a hotel room.
Lage sehr gut. Mitten in Paris und trotzdem ruhig. U-Bahnen in der Nähe.
Betreuung sehr gut. Probleme werden rasch behoben. Wohnung gemütlicher wie ein Hotelzimmer.
Cozy apartment in a perfect location. Checkin was smooth, the bathroom is big and beautiful, the kitchen and living area are very nice. I'd use this place again for sure.
The apartment was quite nice and well located. and everything worked well. Having an elevator was helpful for getting luggage upstairs. It's better for a family than for two couples, in my opinion. There are two Metro lines within easy walking distance, and there are many good restaurants nearby.
Reviews for this host's other properties
Very well situated apartment for 4 to 5. Would happily stay there again on my next trip!
Nice appartment in the city center! Everything is close, a supermarket, ... You can go everywhere on foot because it is right in the center. We had a good stay here.
The apartment is small but cozy and comfortable. The portal and the stairs are a little old, but inside were fine. A quiet and very good location site.
El apartamento es pequeño pero muy acogedor y cómodo. El portal y la escalera están algo viejos, pero en el interior estuvimos muy bien. Un sitio tranquilo y con muy buena localización.
We really liked the apartment. It was located very central so we went to Notre Dame, the Louvre and elsewhere walk. We next several restaurants and a well stocked supermarket where Nicola greeted us warmly.
Nos gusto mucho el apartamento. Estaba situado muy en el centro por lo que fuimos a Notre Dame, el Louvre y otros lugares andando. Teníamos al lado distintos restaurantes y un supermercado bien surtido donde Nicola nos atendió con cariño.

This rich, chocolaty Southern favorite has its own culinary mythology: a couple at the Waldorf-Astoria, a shared slice of bright red chocolate cake, a request for the recipe, and the surprise of later finding a $100 charge on their room bill. Maybe all desserts this good deserve a legend.
Nutrition Profile:
Low Sodium
Serves 12
Prep Time 40 min
Total Time 120 min.
Step 1
To prepare cake: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat two 9-inch round cake pans with cooking spray.
Step 2
Whisk all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
Step 3
Beat sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until crumbly, about 2 minutes. Beat in egg yolks one at a time, then vanilla and food coloring (if using) until smooth.
Step 4
Beat in half the buttermilk on low speed until smooth, then half the flour mixture. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then beat in the remaining buttermilk. Beat in the remaining flour mixture just until combined.
Step 5
Clean and dry beaters. Beat egg whites in a clean medium bowl at high speed until soft peaks form. With a rubber spatula, gently fold the whites into the batter until just incorporated, using long, even strokes. Divide the batter between the prepared pans, spreading to the edges. Gently rap the pans against the counter once or twice to settle the batter.
Step 6
Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then invert the layers onto the rack, remove the pans and let cool to room temperature, about 45 minutes more.
Step 7
To prepare frosting & assemble cake: Beat cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and vanilla in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Place one cake layer top-side down on a serving plate; cover with half the frosting, spreading just to the edges. Set the second layer on top, top-side down. Spread the remaining frosting on the top only. Sprinkle with grated chocolate, if desired.

I am a second time beginner this year (saying this because I lost my hives in their first year a few years back.) I have decided to start over fueled by news that I can beat the mites with out chemicals. Before I was very uneducated and now I have read absolutely everything I can find and am confident I can be successful at this. I have started a website to document my progress and It will serve as my business website since I want to be a professional beekeeper. The point I am getting to is I want to perpetuate this "Biobee" idea and it would be great if anyone with pictures and other info I could use on my site would share them with me so I could enhance my site and better educate the masses.

This medication can cause birth defects. Do not use if you are pregnant. Tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant, or if you miss two menstrual periods in a row. If you have recently had a baby, wait at least 4 weeks before taking birth control pills.
You should not take birth control pills if you have:
- untreated or uncontrolled high blood pressure;
- heart disease (coronary artery disease, uncontrolled heart valve disorder, history of heart attack, stroke, or blood clot);
- a blood-clotting disorder or circulation problems;
- problems with your eyes, kidneys or circulation caused by diabetes;
- a history of hormone-related cancer such as breast or uterine cancer;
- unusual vaginal bleeding that has not been checked by a doctor;
- liver disease or liver cancer;
- severe migraine headaches (with aura, numbness, weakness, or vision changes), especially if you are older than 35;
- a history of jaundice caused by pregnancy or birth control pills; or
- if you smoke and are over 35 years old.
To make sure you can safely take birth control pills, tell your doctor if you have any of these other conditions:
- high blood pressure, varicose veins;
- high cholesterol or triglycerides, or if you are overweight;
- a history of depression;
- underactive thyroid;
- gallbladder disease;
- diabetes;
- seizures or epilepsy;
- a history of irregular menstrual cycles;
- tuberculosis; or
- a history of fibrocystic breast disease, lumps, nodules, or an abnormal mammogram.
The hormones in birth control pills can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. This medication may also slow breast milk production. Do not use if you are breast feeding a baby.
How should I take ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel?

Turkmenistan opens up media--in name only
Turkmenistan is trying to burnish its image by passing its first law on press freedom. On January 4th, President Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov signed a law that bans press censorship, bars the government from monopolizing news outlets, and grants the public access to all forms of information, including independent and foreign reporting.
Unfortunately, reform appears to be only posturing and the most repressive and hermetic country in Eurasia remains just that.

"Catch me if you can" seems to be what is on David Hammons' mind as he walks the streets of Manhattan. Who—or what—is he trying to elude? As an artist who feeds his work with a philosophy inherited from the political activism of black nationalism, Hammons has worked to resist and challenge the dominant culture and its vision of centrality. He attempts to escape the constraining cast of art history as it has been written by a Eurocentric and white tradition, a tradition that carries the weight of a history based on exclusion and domination. The white cubes of galleries and institutions are the sites in which this history is played out. There, according to Hammons, the light is on but no one is home.
He seeks an alternative that would counter and subvert the mainstream culture's notion of an avant-garde where "art is dangerous only one-tenth of a second."1 In terms of aesthetic strategies, he has often been compared to Marcel Duchamp and the Arte Povera movement. If true at first glance, these associations nevertheless seem contradictory to Hammons' artistic aim of identifying alternative critical and theoretical tools. He leans against the wall of art history, but he also has his back against it, as if about to be shot. The Holy Bible: Old Testament (2002) demonstrates such a critical relationship with a dogma he considers overrated and decrepit. A sculpture in the form of a publication, the work is an appropriation of Arturo Schwartz's book The Complete Works of Marcel Duchamp, rebound in leather with gilt edges and embossed with gold to mimic and debunk both Duchamp and the Old Testament with their respective cultural and ideological baggage.
From a specific point of view—that of African American culture—Hammons absorbs and critically recycles notions of racism, primitivism, postcolonialism, and exoticism, using them to undermine stereotypical representations. His aesthetic is fed by the rubbish, the castoffs, of the urban wasteland in which he strives to reassess the subversive potential of art. The sculpture Flight Fantasy (1978) encompasses many elements central to Hammons' oeuvre. The mobile is part of a series of sculptures completed between 1978 and 1980 that are dominated by allusions to flying, being high, the bird kingdom, even jazz artist Charlie "Bird" Parker. Flight Fantasy is made from bamboo dowels, feathers, African American hair, and shards of 45rpm records. Half bird, half African sculpture or fetish icon, it pinpoints a stereotype often at play in the artist's work: the jazz musician as the epitome of the black artist, just as sport (mainly boxing and basketball) is a derogative cliché of black social promotion. Hammons' use of human hair is recurrent, serving to critique the status of the black body in American culture as well as the fetishism of its representation. Cut and collected hair, from Samson to voodoo magic, can convey a sense of empowerment or enfeeblement, and its appearance in Hammons' works urges the viewer to decipher the presence, or the absence, of "the souls of black folks."2
The video Phat Free (1995/1999) plays ambiguously on the jazz stereotype by opening on a black frame with a drumming sound track similar to a free jazz improvisation. As the image appears on the screen, it becomes clear that the sound is actually a bucket being kicked through the nighttime streets of Manhattan by the artist. The title, typical of Hammons' play with words, refers both to hip-hop slang and to the American obsession with weight. The mundane action is representative of Hammons' other street "performances." Often inconsequential and decidedly un-phat, his street activities—whether urinating on a Richard Serra sculpture and throwing sneakers at it or selling snowballs on the sidewalk3 —remain facetious and ludicrous, calling attention to the artist's status both as an outcast and as a jester for whom "play" is a critical and emancipating way to be part of the world.4 The piece also stresses the philosophical economy of his work: doing something with nothing. A mesmerizing film, Phat Free kicks us around while Hammons reminds us, with a laugh, what "kicking the bucket" really means.
Over the years, Hammons has developed a critical discourse and aesthetic based on observation and appropriation of street culture. Through street-smart strategies, he reimagines the relationship between the arts and audiences and reinvents a way to give visibility to peripheral cultural practices. As the Brazilian artist Hélio Oiticica once said, "The museum is the world: daily experience."5
Hammons, conversation with the author, New York, winter 2004 (Walker Art Center Archives). ↩
The Souls of Black Folks is the title of W. E. B. Du Bois' 1903 book, which has come to be an important milestone in the history of black nationalism. ↩
In 1981, Hammons urinated on Richard Serra's TWU (1980), a monumental steel sculpture that was located on a street corner in downtown Manhattan, and threw twenty-five pairs of tied-together sneakers on top of it. His infamous performative work Bliz-aard Ball Sale took place in 1983. ↩
In this, Hammons seems to embody Eugen Fink's philosophy of play as a symbol of the world. See Eugen Fink, Spiel als Weltsymbol (Stuttgart: Kohlhammer, 1960). ↩

M.I.A. - Internet Connection (Doctor Rosen Rosen Remix)
This actually makes me reconsider listening to M.I.A.'s /\/\/\Y/\ (MAYA) to see if I could potentially seek any ear solace in it. But then again, this fix is just ever so fine that I cannot envision pulling myself away from it long enough to do that.
Doctor Rosen Rosen is our rad pal... and here he comes, swooping back into Beastonia with yet another spectacular asset to add to our prescribed repertoire.
Jumpin' jehosaphats, this is all sorts of right.

Where I stayed
Siesta Motel
We spent alot of the day riding through the land of Paul Bunyun and Babe the Blue Ox. It wasn't as bad as we thought it would be. Pretty scenic, but long. Have you ever seen the movie Fargo, well they wern't exagerating the way they talk. Pretty funny actually. When we finally got into Montana it was about 95 degrees. We were dieing in the sun, and not a cloud in the sky.
We went through a Indian reservation and started to look for a place to stay because it was just so friggin unbarable in the sun. But thank God for the 5 hour energy shot, because we got a second wind and pushed on. Every time we stopped for a little break we discussed what we should do, and decided to keep going and finally arrived In Harve, Montana at 10 pm local time after 16 hours and 800 miles.
We're sitting here now at the beautiful Siesta hotel having a couple cold ones getting ready to turn in. Tomorrow we get to Glacier National Park, So we'll keep you updated.
Good night all

Misrepresented, maligned, and misunderstood, the great white shark is an iconic predator: the creature we love to fear. Great White Shark explores this beautiful animal's place in our imaginations, in our fears, and in the reality of its role at the top of the oceanic food chain. Great whites pre-date the dinosaurs in evolutionary history, and have evolved to regulate their body temperature and give birth to live pups, much like mammals: yet we fail to look on them with the warmth we might afford land-based carnivores such as lions, tigers and bears.
Shot on location in South Africa, New Zealand, Mexico, and California, the film aims to reveal the strength and beauty of these animals by looking through the eyes of experts who have been touched by their shark encounters.

Has your home value declined? Did your retirement fund loose value? Are you part of the under-employed or unemployed millions? See the new film The Wall Street Conspiracy to find out why.
Meet filmmaker Kristina Leigh Copeland, who began digging into Wall Street irregularities years before the 2008 financial collapse. What she uncovered —manipulation of the market through "naked short selling" of stocks — has became the focus of her first documentary, The Wall Street Conspiracy [1]. While manipulation and fraud are not new to Wall Street, Copeland found that the shift to electronic transactions have made billion-dollar deals based on inflated share counts and manipulated price drops easier to commit and harder to uncover. Copeland's documentary reminds us of the Savings and Loan Fraud, the Libor scandle, and the continuing possibility of financial insider manipulations by huge banks, venture capital funds and organized crime in a globalized electronic market.
Doors open at 7:00—admission is $10 for this one time showing.

Hey guys,
For those of you who have a lathe or access to one, Green Mountain has their AK barrel blanks back in stock for a pretty reasonable price - at least in comparison with the prices of available commercial finished barrels right now. Just wanted to give a heads-up.

text: Nov 06, 2010 - How OMG fabulous is this condish. It smells floral (there's an iris note in there, methinks) and it has lovey slip (which increases the longer you leave it on, like MAGIC), and has strengthening protein. My fine, dry hair loves this. No weigh-down. Nicely moisturizing. Clean feminine smell. Wonderful base for me to add Smoothing Lotion and use the CurlQueen. This is my fave rinse out in the Curl Junkie line. My thirsty porous hair loves it. This and Curl Rehab fill my showertime condish needs amazingly well. And without question, this perks up the curls. I do find them curlier since adding this to my regimen. I guess the protein keeps the perk. :D

text: Hello all. Just purchased a 2013 1500 Silverado 4WD EXT CAB LT. One of the options is the Z71 off road suspension package. It says off road skid plates, high capacity air cleaner. I thought the Z71 would have Rancho shocks as the 2013 sales book describes. Supposedly I have gas shocks on the truck but not the Rancho shocks. Thought they all had the Rancho shocks with the Z71 off road suspension. Any ideas. Thanks Marty

Twenty Years of Tarantino
We break down the cars, the celebs, the soundtracks and the iconic outfit in celebration of Tarantino's 20 years in film.
It's kind of a big deal when a prolific director celebrates two decades in film, releases one of the most highly anticipated films of the year and gives out an interview to Playboy all in the same month. Only a man like Tarantino can pull off 20 years of film in style, winning a slew of awards along the way. We've broken down his films in the best way possible by reminiscing about the music, babes, cars and sharp-looking black suit that have made him the film deity he is today.
Using approximately 100 songs in his first four movies, Tarantino's soundtracks are as celebrated as his films. Tarantino understands that songs are an integral part of the tone and setting of a film, which is why the tracks he handpicks to score his most poignant scenes are so legendary. "If you put the right piece of music with the right sequence, I actually truly think it's the most cinematic thing you can do," Tarantino told one British reporter during a press junket for Death Proof. "It's the most magical cinema can be."
Chuck Berry – "You Never Can Tell" (Pulp Fiction)
You Never Can Tell by Chuck Berry on Grooveshark
"This scene is funny because it's a situation is happening in the film where John Travolta and Uma Thurman are in this like '50s restaurant and then all of the sudden they have this twist contest. And the thing is everybody thinks that I wrote this scene to have John Travolta dancing. But the scene existed before John Travolta was cast; it was like, 'Great. We get to see John dance.'" – Tarantino on Charlie Rose
The 22.214.171.124's – "Woo Hoo" (Kill Bill: Volume 1)
Woo Hoo by The 5 6 7 8s on Grooveshark
The story goes like this. While Tarantino was scouting in Tokyo for Kill Bill, he stopped in at a secondhand clothing store and heard a recording of the band The 18.104.22.168's. He asks the owner who the trio was, buys the album the next time he sees it and instantly falls for the band. Once he listens to the song "Woo Hoo," Tarantino visualizes the long cascading shot in the House of Blue Leaves and the fight that unfolds as the retro garage trio play as themselves as the house band.
George Baker Selection – "Little Green Bag" (Reservoir Dogs)
Little Green Bag by George Baker Selection on Grooveshark
Tarantino believes that once a director finds the perfect song for the opening scene, it makes the film come alive for the audience and revs them up for the rest. It's remarkable that Tarantino can make songs from different eras into cult classics today, and without the '69 song "Little Green Bag," the world's introduction to one of the best ensemble casts to ever grace the silver screen wouldn't have been the same. The first draft of the film originally had Pink Floyd's "Money" in its place, but after hearing the song on the radio, Tarantino became extremely nostalgic and decided to replace it.
Like any renowned director, the women he keeps company with play a pivotal role in the success of his films. Tarantino's female leads are always strong, beautiful and usually barefoot (every man has his kink), kicking the ass of anyone who crosses their path. Although some may argue that his female roles are hypersexualized, we see it as a celebration of the beauty of women.
Uma Thurman (Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill)
They may have only made three films together, but Thurman and Tarantino are synonymous with each other. Often referred to as Tarantino's muse, Thurman originally turned down her legendary role of Mia Wallace in Pulp Fiction. Her "no" was met with an unwavering Tarantino who read her the script over the phone to convince her to take the role. Usually seen barefoot in his films, Thurman let Tarantino's dreams become reality when she let him drink champagne from her shoe during a toast at the Friars Club Roast in New York City back in 2010.
Diane Kruger (Inglourious Basterds)
"A lot of directors idealize their leading ladies or turn them into these objects of sexuality and beauty. But for Quentin, it's not about that. He really elevates you, but not in the sense of how well you're lit or how well you're dressed—it seems sometimes like he doesn't really care about that stuff; he's someone who looks at women much more as part of his creation. I feel like I've never been looked at by a director in quite the way Quentin looks at me." – Diane Kruger on working with Tarantino in Interview Magazine
Kerry Washington (Django Unchained)
Tarantino had hoped to cast a new face for the role of Broomhilda von Shaft, Django's wife, but ultimately went for Scandal's Kerry Washington. Did you know that Django and Broomhilda are meant to be the great-great-great-great-grandparents of John Shaft, from the Shaft movie series?
There are a lot of recurring themes, props and camera angles in Tarantino films, and one that's near and dear to us is his use of cars. We're not talking about the white Honda Civic which pops up in such films as Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown and Kill Bill: Volume 2, we're talking about the incredible vintage wheels that make his characters timelessly cool.
1972 Mustang Grande (Death Proof)
There were a ton of cars to ogle in Tarantino's B-film throwback Death Proof, but our hearts were set on the 1972 Mustang Grande as soon as it appeared on screen. Obviously, its paint job is meant to match the tracksuit Uma Thurman wore in Kill Bill, which makes it sweeter. Though it didn't get much playtime, it definitely stands out as one of the coolest cars Tarantino has cast to date.
1974 Chevy Nova (Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction)
Ah, the Chevy Nova. While we personally wouldn't be caught dead in one of these things, it's apparent that Tarantino has a soft spot for them…kind of. The car's interior is first seen in Reservoir Dogs, when a bloody mess of a man, Mr. Orange, is transported to the abandoned warehouse where most of the story plays out. The next time we see the car is in Pulp Fiction, where, again, it's the setting of some bloody carnage. Fans know that all of Tarantino's films are supposed to be set in the same reality, so many have hypothesized that the Chevy Nova is in fact the same car.
Chevrolet Silverado SS "Pussy Wagon" (Kill Bill vol 1)
In his latest interview with Playboy, Tarantino admitted not only to still owning the Pussy Wagon but to proudly displaying it in his driveway. The fan-favorite Pussy Wagon, although only seen in the first Kill Bill film, was last used in Lady Gaga's "Telephone" music video back in 2010. "We were having lunch one day in Los Angeles and I was telling him about my concept for the video and he said, 'You gotta use the Pussy Wagon!'" Gaga told E! News.

"We were having lunch one day in Los Angeles and I was telling him about my concept for the video and he said, 'You gotta use the Pussy Wagon!'" Gaga told E! News.
Tarantino refers to the black suits most of his characters are clad in as their suits of armor. "That's my style, my guys wear black suits," Tarantino told AFI.com. "It's like Melville's trench coats or John Woo's pigeons or Leone's dusters. It was my sense of style." The guys from Reservoir Dogs, the most notorious black suit wearers of the bunch, were dressed by costume designer Betsy Heimann, who was tasked with dressing all of the characters for a cool 10,000 dollars. "I am very pleased that the narrow silhouette I created influenced and still influences men's fashion," she told clothesonfilm.com. "I think that Quentin is responsible for the pop culture legacy of the film. The characters and the mood are contagious, just like Quentin's enthusiasm for filmmaking."
Can't shake the Tarantino bug? Grab yourself the box set Tarantino XX which features 8 essential films - Pulp Fiction, Inglourious Basterds, Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill vol. 1, Kill Bill vol. 2, Jackie Brown, Death Proof and True Romance - plus two bonus discs with over five hours of never-before-seen special features., Better yet, test your Tarantino knowledge over on Twitter where @PlayboyDotCom will be giving away a copy.

[quote user="lttaylor56"]Rex Ryan had nothing more to say on his tense post-game exchange with Giants running back Brandon Jacobs. On the field after the Giants' win, Jacobs yelled at Ryan, Time to shut up, fat boy! Jacobs claims Ryan then tried to come after him the way his old man went after (Kevin) Gilbride," at which point Jacobs said he yelled "youre talking to the wrong Giant, because I will kick your (butt)!
On Saturday, Ryan called it a "private conversation" and stood by that today. The NFL will not look into the exchange.
"I talked about that after the game, and I said it was a private conversation that we had, and I really have nothing else to add to it," Ryan said.[/quote]
a big bellied coach with a big mouth - i lol'd
have to be honest that was one of the most filling regular season games i've experienced as a Giants fan
What could be better than a follow up win vs Dallas to get in the playoffs

We needed laundry detergent and this week we were greeted at the store by some new (to our area of the United States), Mexican-made options. I was immediately drawn to the bars of Zote because they smelled so good, but Carlos said Zote is for washing clothes in the river. (I later found out that while Zote is traditionally used for hand-washing laundry, you can grate it up and use it in the machine – still altogether too much work for this gringa.)
Another choice was Roma, and while I liked the image of the señorita on the bag, I ended up choosing Foca. The cute seal ("foca"), image on the bag isn't why I chose it though. I just like saying "foca". With some Spanish words, I am still a middle school girl at heart, and "foca" makes me giggle because of its resemblance to an English word we shouldn't say in polite company. (Want to know another word that makes me laugh? The Salvadoran Caliche word "bicha" which, despite resembling an insult for females in English, simply means "girl"… If Paris Hilton was a Guanaca, do you think she would say, "What's up, bichas?")
Anyway, despite spilling Foca all over the floor in the laundry room when we first opened it, ("Awh, foca!"), it has turned out to be a good purchase, ($7.88 for 11 lbs.) The clothes come out clean though I wish it left a stronger scent. Most importantly of all, I get to say "foca" more often.


text: So I'm contemplating switching to e85. Does anyone have a reason not to switch other than the MPG loss? Its about .50 less here in IL so, I don't really see a reason not to try it. Can I just fill it up with corn juice or should I run most of my tank out first? Also, does anyone see a reason why I couldnt run the 93 tune on my Predator if I switched?

Very good post.I used to work in a jail setting and it is amazing how many drunk drivers there are out there no matter if they are aware of the possible consequences.
I am not going to lie and not say I have never driven drunk. In my early military days I did..and was very lucky not to have hurt either myself or someone else. But, I wised up after a scare where my buddy lost his license and driving privileges on base after running off a base road. We were lucky that was the only penalty.
I think people think they are either 1) invincible or 2) never think it will happen to them. It's a tragedy but the accountability and failing belongs to everyone...most of all to the player that lacked poor judgement and made the decision to get behind the wheel.
The guy has to live with the fact that he was responsible for the death of his friend, but that is of little consequence since a young man lost his life and his family lost a son, brother, father, etc. This is sad and should serve as a wake up.
And, as much as I hate the Cowboys this is something that transcends a simple game. I hate the Cowbiys as a rival, but never wish to see something bad happen to any human being.

Just curious -- I mean, I LOVE my SE Fett and I busted my butt to put it together, but has anyone ever had the urge to try and switch movies?
There's the little itch every once in a while that whispers "Hmmm...you got the hardest part of the ESB kit done in the helmet. You re-dye the flightsuit a little darker blue..."
And inevitable I think "I'd be crazy to go through all that again"! I'd be a fool to paint over my jetpack or armor since I think I pretty much nailed em, so I'd be selling off parts and then I'd be doing most of this all over again!
Still....the temptation.... :D
Just curious. Anyone else ever felt it?

I am stuck with the question "who is my enemy".
First a short overview about the game.
The game plays in a post apocalyptic world, where the humans fight for their survival. You are (of course) a human, you fight in a 2d real-time isometric shooter against an enemy more powerful than you are. To succeed, you need to work as a team, plan your attacks, assasinations, ambushes carefully and improvise in case shit happens.
I have an idea about what the enemy should be able to do in the game:
- It should be unable to go in a specific enviroment. Because they are so strong, they would have wiped out the humans already, but they were able to set up some secure bases. My first idea was, that they are unable to go into the sunlight, so they darkened most but some small parts of the world.
- It doesn't have to be smart, but smart enough to shoot/throw something at the player.
- the units are commanded by "overseers", without them, they attack unorganised and without strategy.
I can only think of Aliens or Demons (Demon-Aliens!! ), i would like to hear some ideas on:
Who they are,
why they are here,
what they shoot/throw,
and how the humans managed to set up secure areas.

Looks like wild sunflower to me.
It looks like it could be Cup-plant [Silphium perfoliatum] from the leaves on the far left side in photo. Do the opposite leaves completely surround the stem to form a small cup? It's a native [I think] prairie plant in WI. anyway.

possibly Woodland Sunflower (Helianthus Strumosus) or Prairie Golden Aster a.k.a. Hairy Golden Aster (Heterotheca Camporum). I bought a field guide to wild flowers my first year of beekeeping just so I could identify the flowers that were blooming in my area, it has proved invaluable to me over the past 6 years I recommend it for anybody keeping bees or wild crafting.

This is the plant. This plant is at the nature center here in Knoxville. Looks like it is native to the eastern US. Cool plant.

Margaret Wente argued that Canadian universities were guilty of "infantilizing," rather than "challenging" students. Ken Coates said universities should function as a "proving ground." But universities were never meant to function as a sorting mechanism for the job market. We should devote the effort and resources necessary to change university education to better serve all students. University shouldn't be more demanding, it should be more engaging.

Sun, Surf, and Scenery in Orange County
Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort and Spa • Dana Point, CA
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two in a Resort- ($159), Pool- ($179), Partial Ocean- ($199), or Ocean-View Room ($229)
- Resort Fees
Dana Point's high bluffs, sheltered coves, and stellar surf have long been considered a Southern California staple. Praised by American author Richard Henry Dana, Jr. as "the only romantic spot on the coast," the gorgeous locale is a designated California Historical Landmark.
Overlooking miles of pristine Pacific beach, the AAA Four Diamond Award Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort & Spa is perched atop the cliffs of Dana Point and within easy distance of Laguna Beach and San Diego area attractions.
"The refurbished vintage 1940 Woody surf mobile that resides in front of Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort & Spa is a fitting mascot," says Examiner.com. "Upon close inspection of the gleaming 1950s-era wood-paneled station wagon, one sees it has been pristinely restored. Like the newly renovated hotel that is its home, the classic look and spirit of the carefree California coastal lifestyle is preserved and celebrated, yet no fine touches have been forgotten."
Tucked within flowering gardens and sweeping lawns, rooms at Laguna Cliffs come complete with 250-thread-count linens, flat-screen TVs, and iHome accessories. Beyond the laid-back beach décor, many rooms boast stunning views via balconies or patios, while all accommodations offer access to two heated outdoor pools and whirlpools, as well as the 2,500-square-foot Fitness Club. Oh, and did we mention The Spa at Laguna Cliffs, tennis court, and bike rentals?
A stroll to Dana Point's legendary harbor reveals a sprawling 2,500-capacity yacht slip, framed by row after row of boutique shops and restaurants. Known as the "Whale Capital of the West" the coastline also acts as a navigational landmark for whale migrations, delivering prime viewing points to catch the action. Back at the resort, OverVue Lounge offers fireside seating, sensational seafood, and panoramic views of that Pacific sunset.
"Their breakfast buffet is really good. Also, if the weather permits, it's nice to have your breakfast on the patio overlooking Dana Point Harbor. Doheny Park is right in front of the hotel overlooking the ocean."-- TripAdvisor

So what happens in the second U.S. presidential debate? OBAMA GETS HIS MOJO BACK!!! He came out bristling for a fight. This time Obama's in charge. He dominates the fight, provides the drive, the passion. This time, no deference.

Hi Maarten,
Thanks for the suggestions. Some of the previous work I'm looking to build on used a discrete-time approach, so I was trying to figure this out within that setting.

I know that ratification dates for environmental and ILO
treaties are known up to the day (I used that for my master
thesis). I guess that the same is true for human rights
treaties. Daily data is fine enough detail for me to regard
this as continuous time, which saved me a lot of trouble /
additional assumptions. One advantage is that if you use
fully parametric (see: -help streg-) you can easily derive /
predict the median survival time, which seems to be what you
are after. Alternatively you should be able to do the same
with the semi-parametric alternative -stpm2- (see -findit stpm2-). However, this would be harder for Cox regression (see:
-help stcox-) as that model delibarately does not model the
baseline hazard function.
Hope this helps,

Kingsport development project continues
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - Construction of Kingsport's premier shopping complex Heritage Point is continuing to move forward.
The shopping complex will be built on a plot of land where Interstates 26 and 81 meet.
City manager John Campbell tells News 5 that all grading work should be complete by October; that's when builders could step in and begin construction of the stores. "We haven't heard anything directly from the owner of the land, but we've heard through some sources [they'll be done soon]," Campbell said.
The city manager also says it could take several years to fully develop the complex.
So far, the developer has invested $6 million to get the property ready for builders.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I'm no lawyer, but you might find this link interesting.
It was not me personally who locked that thread as I was not following it. I thank which ever moderator did lock it. I 100% back the decision Buck made and thanx to him bringing this problem to my attention new forum rules will be put into place.
M. Lemay I am now considering closing the vendors review section if a better option cannot be found.
Is anyone here a lawyer or atleast know the legal system well? IF so please contact me either by PM or by email at email@example.com
I have no idea what anyone is talking about (locked thread, or locked forum) anyway.... I have only said good things about them as I recall. I got the service I was promised by the vender and by UPS.
I was one of the people that gave m3 a bad review. I'll take full responsibility for it. It was harsh,and I did the review not realizing that they were going thru some sort of restructuring and I just happened to put in an order between ownerships. For that I apologize. I think they were sold to some other company and the new company is servicing thier customers very well. As a matter of fact, I just ordered some stuff from them because they have a great product line and some people have had some great experiences with them lately.
I did not however copy and paste the old post or unlock the old forum. I'm to stupid to know how to do that.
I have a suggestion : If we are not allowed to give bad reviews then we should eliminate The Vendor reviews category or change it to some sort of rating system such as Yahoo does with thier online vendors. Just a suggestion.
Nobody to blame but myself...
When I stopped in this morning with a coffee it became apparent that someone decided to take a locked thread... (by Fender I imagine )...copy/paste it and start the conversation all over.
I had never read that thread before and now I know why it was locked...
it was slanderous and only begging for trouble. Many of you may not know it but anything and evrything posted in web forums can be copied and used/verified as evidence in lawsuits of which there are several pending right now...
I did not mean to make it disappear however I was going to suggest it to Fender to do.
I wanted only to remove the " NEWLY " unlocked version to go away but it took both with it as it was copy/pasted and saw it as same post.
That was not the end result I was looking for... sorry if i offended anyone or made you search needlessly for Topic.... my bad there.
But I think that Fender would agree that a locked forum is locked for a reason and the ole copy/paste trick aint new fella's and its kind of a slap to the Admin's face.
Every Dog has his day in court but Im sure thats not what you would like to see... believe me when I tell ya that Big brother is reading the Forums and WILL slap you with a screaming lawsuit for slander... the $$$ go up by # of visitors that had opportunity to read. Would you like to pay that Bill ?
To all I apologize...
...to the individual that decided it was time to reopen a locked forum like that all I can say is ... :sad::sad::sad:

text: I have watched Elanor Burns use her QIAD flying geese rulers so many times and it looks so easy that when I had a chance to buy a set cheap off ebay, I ordered them. I have not had a chance to use them yet. I got the large and small sizes. I like the idea of making them a little oversized and trimming them down because somehow I always get the goose's "beak" too close to the edge and the point gets cut off. Looks like there are a lot of ways to do them.
