We had to have the garage door repaired. The Sears repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did not have a 'large' enough motor on the opener. I thought for a minute, and said that we had the largest one Sears made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower. He shook his head and said, 'Lady, you need a 1/4 horsepower.' I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4. He said, 'NO, it's not.' Four is larger than two.'
We haven't used Sears repair since.
My daughter and I went through the McDonald's take-out window and I gave the clerk a $5 bill. Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her a quarter. She said, 'you gave me too much money.' I said, 'Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar bill back.' She sighed and went to get the manager who asked me to repeat my request. I did so, and he handed me back the quarter, and said Were sorry but they could not do that kind of thing.' The clerk then proceeded to give me back$1 and 75 cents in change.
Do not confuse the clerks at McD's.
I live in a semi rural area. We recently had a new neighbor call the local township administrative office to request the removal of the DEER CROSSING sign on our road. The reason: 'Too many deer are being hit by cars out here!I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore.'

I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an airport employee asked, 'Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?' To which I replied, 'If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?' He smiled knowingly and nodded,
'That's why we ask.'

The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it's safe to cross the street. I was crossing with an intellectually challenged coworker of mine. She asked if I knew what the buzzer was for. I explained that it signals blind people when the light is red. Appalled, she responded, 'What on earth are blind people doing driving?!'

At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear coworker. She was leaving the company due to 'downsizing.' Our manager commented cheerfully, 'This is fun. We should do this more often.' Not another word was spoken. We all just looked at each other with that deer-in-the-headlights stare.

When my husband and I arrived at an automobile dealership to pick up our car, we were told the keys had been locked in it. We went to the service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the drivers side door. As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked. 'Hey,' I announced to the technician, 'its open!' His reply, 'I know. I already got that side.'
This was at the Ford dealership in Canton , Mississippi

Around spring time, there was a letter to the editor from a young coed. She was protesting daylight savings time. She said something to the effect that with the environement being the way it was, it wasn't right for the government to give us an extra hour of daylight and make global warming worse.
Also, I remember watching that series on TV called "Amish in the City". There was some skinny vegeterian on the show that was busting on someone for eating eggs for breakfast. She called the egg "a chicken abortion". Go figure. Dumbass blonde vegetarian that doesn't know squat about reproduction.....
Years ago while walking with a group of friends, we were aproached by an atractive girl carring a "fur is murder" sign who was trying to get us to sign a petition of sorts. She was quite lovely but what struck me most about her was her expensive looking leather coat. I politely told her no thanks and continued walking. She followed and persisted. So as loud as I could yell I said "you dumb b*%#@! what the hell do you think a leather coat is but a fur coat without the fur on it?" You could tell by the look on her face that she hadn't thought about that untill then as she put her sign down and quickly walked away to the laughter of everyone in ear shot.
I can't believe how funny this is. It's too bad that it is true.

At our shop my friend had to work on this car that the owner said the fuel pump was dead. After a preliminary inspection my friend found the distributor rotor wasn't spinning, and notified the owner. The owner indignantly responded "My buddy says it's the fuel pump!" I had to walk away stifling a laugh as my friend suggested he try a timing belt first.

They were pushed around and chasing a ball carrier most of the night on Friday.
It was not the finest three hours in the history of Barbe defense, but twice the young group made the play that mattered most.
It may seem hard to believe that in a game where the teams combined for 97 points and 1,049 yards that the tide would turn on two defensive stands.
Hard to believe, but true.
The Bucs defense, battered and bruised while giving up 546 yards on the ground to West Monroe, made two huge plays that got lost in a stunning comeback, which was fueled by an giant offensive display.
The 49-48 semifinal victory may have highlighted Barbe's offense, but don't count out those two plays on defense.
"I have faith in those guys making the plays when we need them," said quarterback Kennon Fontenot. "West Monroe is a good team and gained a lot of yards but we also came up with some big plays on defense."
Well, two of them at least.
The first seems more like a footnote now.
After cutting into an early 14-0 Rebel lead with their first touchdown of the game, Barbe's defense was again giving up huge chunks of yards. It seemed a forgone conclusion that West Monroe would score again to regain the two-touchdown advantage late in the first quarter.
However, Barbe's defense came up with its first big play, stripping Rebel tailback Segrick Williams and recovering the ball inside their own 5-yard line. The offense responded and tied the game moments later.
"That was a big play," said Barbe head coach Mike Cutrera. "That stopped their early momentum."
The Bucs' second big defensive play came with just under five minutes left in the game.
With West Monroe leading 48-28 and the time ticking away, the Rebels had the ball and with one first down could run out the clock. It was desperation time for the Bucs defense.
Once again, the group that could not stop anybody found a way to again strip Williams and recover the ball. This time, it was Nick Abshire who scooped up the bouncing ball and returned it 36 yards to the Rebel 29.
A pair of onside kick recoveries and a trio of Fontenot touchdown passes made most forget about those key defensive stops.
"They gave us a chance," Fontenot said.
It has been like that all season, with the Barbe defense giving up an alarming amount of points and yards but finding a way to make enough stops to keep their hopes of a state championship alive.
"Our defense, it does not look good at times, but they make stops and find a way to get some turnovers," Cutrera said.
Now, all they have to do is find a way to do the same thing Saturday night in the Superdome against Class 5A's top seed from Rummel and the Bucs will have their first state title.
If that happens, all the yards and all the points allowed will be forgotten, and two key fumbles forced and then recovered by a group that is often overlooked will become a part of a historic run.

Title: Bucs defense made the plays when they needed it most
Regrettably, I left the game just a few moments before the fumble was recovered with just under 5 minutes to go. By the time I got to my car and turned the radio on the first Barbe touchdown of the furious comeback was scored and the first onside kick recovered. As exciting as it was to hear the comeback on the radio I wish I had stayed to the end to hear the bedlam of the Barbe fans in the stands and the see the student body rushing the field. What an indelible lifelong image it would have made! And, it would have been so satisfyingly sweet to see the supreme shock, deep dismay, and utter incredulity on the grieving faces of the West Monroe fans and players who had by careless and overconfident words, triumphant gestures, and unmistakable body language so prematurely congratulated themselves on earning a return trip to the Dome. I will making the trip to New Orleans I won't miss a play or give up hope! Go Bucs!!

I'd rather ask that question here and get good logical and realistic responses than TRADE SHOCKEY!
What's say you?
Trade Shockey!!! j/k
Definitely need help in the secondary, bro. Maybe draft another CB and Safety. Possibly another LB if Strahan retires and forces Kiwi back at DE.
(reading back)

i think we def need a safety to go along with Wison. Butler aint the one i think. And prob another LB, but only if stray isn't coming back and Kiwi might make the switch back to DE.

[/quote]Johnson will be solid. I don't see us needing a low draft pick safety, but we need a shutdown, man to man corner through FA. LBrs are solid too. Mitchell has really come one, and Wilk has done a solid job in back up as well as Tobor. We also have chase and DeOssie.

Good news? Or is bellicheck trying to mess with the Giants?

u r right. I was thinking bout injuries at safety, that we had to play 2 rookies. Johnson is solid and will be fine, but is still young. As far as other positions, i think we r pretty set there. Both O and D.

bout the Brady pic... i dunno. guess a lill mind game, or perhaps he is practising living on Big Foot??

Turkey's consideration of a cross border incursion into Iraq in pursuit of Kurdish rebels and its threat to retaliate against a US House of Representative Resolution on the Armenian genocide may well turn out to be a case of shooting oneself in the foot. According to a diplomat quoted in Zaman, these decisions 'will in the long run affect Turkey's political and economic reforms, isolating itself from the world." Prime Minister Erdogan is threatening to retaliate if the Resolution passes, and states "if such an action is chosen, whatever the price, it will be paid" while Chief of the Army, General Buyukrant says America's action will cause damage "that cannot be repaired."
Perhaps, it is time for the Turkish government and people to examine long term consequences of hasty actions. An invasion of northern Iraq would result in a dramatic rise in oil prices which will probably infuriate members of the European Union and threaten an invitation to become a member. The United States is quite capable of finding alternative ways to supply its forces in Iraq. IN 1947, the people of France and Great Britain put away their hatred of Germany(a nation that killed thirty million people) and joined with them in peaceful solutions to economic recovery. Making prideful boasts sounds wonderful on Monday, but what happens on Friday when consequences of one's threats result in action by others? What if Turkey turned the tables on everyone by indicating its desire to appoint a joint Turkish/Armenian committee to investigate past events and develop new educational programs for people in Turkey and Armenia geared towards ending hatred?

Acid Safety
The following is the manual used to train cleanroom personnel about handling and storing acids:
Operating Instructions
Expand All
Compress All
Module I: Classification and Hazards of Chemicals
Unit 1: Acid Definition and Reference Table
Are typically soluble in water.
Are corrosive.
Taste sour.
Form salts when mixed with bases.
Turn litmus paper red.
Burn organic tissues and/or inorganic materials.
See the table below for information about acids used in the IML.
Unit 2: Base Definition and Reference Table
Are typically water soluble.
Are slippery.
Taste bitter.
Form salts when mixed with acids.
Turn litmus paper blue.
Are corrosive.
Burn organic tissues.
See the table below for information about bases used in the IML.
Unit 3: Special Chemical Definition and Reference Table
Special Chemicals:
Are not acids or bases.
Have similar properties to acids or bases.
Are as dangerous as acids or bases.
See the table below for information about special chemicals used in the IML.
Unit 4: Special Considerations
Hydrofluoric Acid
Hydrofluoric acid (HF) is EXTREMELY dangerous. Be extra attentive when working with HF. HF is colorless and odorless; it looks and smells like water. HF is an ingredient in many oxide etches which are used to etch glass. Because of the danger, only trained personnel should pour HF.
According to DuPont's MSDS, HF
Penetrate skin.
Attack (decalcify) bones.
React with your body's chemicals to make poisonous salts.
HF may:
Kill if more than 5% of the body is exposed.
Kill if ingested or inhaled.
Depending on concentration, not cause pain for up to 24 hours after contact.
Some of the symptoms of HF exposure are:
Red or white discoloration of the skin.
Pain within 24 hours after contact.
Discoloration under fingernails or toenails.
Sulfuric Acid
When heating sulfuric acid, a mist will form. The sulfuric acid mist is a known carcinogen. As such, trained personnel should only use sulfuric acid in fume hoods.
In all cases of chemical exposure, report the incident to the lab manager and seek medical attention immediately.
Module I self-check quiz
1) Acids (circle all correct answers)
a, d, e
a) React with bases to form salts.

Module II: Handling and Housekeeping
Unit 1: Protective Clothing
When working with acids, bases, or other chemicals, you must wear the proper clothing. The following are the five clothing items that you must wear while working with chemicals.
Safety glasses/goggles: Should completely cover your eye at all times.
Safety face shield: Wear over the top of any safety glasses or goggles.
Full-length acid smock: Wear over the cleanroom clothing.
Rubber gloves: Wear with a two-inch cuff. This prevents acid from running down your arm. Also, inflate with nitrogen and submerse in water to check for pinhole leaks before using.
Hard leather or other non-porous shoes
Unit 2: Transportation of Chemicals
Transporting One Bottle
The chemicals used in the clean room are usually stored in glass or plastic bottles. The best way to transport these chemicals by hand is to carry them in a rubber or plastic bucket. If the bottle breaks or the lid leaks, the chemical will be contained in the bucket.
If a bucket cannot be located, the next best way to transport the chemicals is by grasping the handle with one hand, supporting the bottom of the bottle with the other hand. Carefully carry the bottle in front of you and away from your body.
Transporting More Than One Bottle
A chemical cart is to be used if more than one bottle must be transported. The chemical cart is loaded one bottle at a time. Always make sure that the weight is evenly distributed on the cart (this reduces the chance of the cart tipping). Push the cart from behind for better control.
Unit 3: General Handling of Chemicals
Whenever you are working with chemicals, there is danger of spills, splashing, and unwanted chemical reactions occurring. Table 4 below provides general guidelines to follow when working with chemicals. The table contains only general guidelines and is
a replacement for common sense. If you have any question about anything in the lab, talk to your lab manager/supervisor.
Use the appropriate size container for the job.
Get help when needed.
Clean containers after use with deionized water.
Work under a fume hood unless you have been told otherwise by the lab manager/supervisor.
Use a funnel when pouring chemicals into a small container.
Open bottles slowly to avoid spilling and allow vapors to escape.
Know what type of reactions to expect.
Remember to triple-A (AAA): Always Add Acid to water.
Reuse containers (adverse chemical reaction may occur).
Eat, drink, smoke, or touch any body part before washing your hands when working with chemicals.
Be afraid to ask questions.
Pour leftover chemicals back in its source container, contamination may result.
Put your face close to the bottle when pouring.
Puncture cap or lid of any bottle.
Play "mad scientist." You may kill or injure yourself or others.
Unit 4: Quarztware
You may find yourself around or involved in cleaning quartzware. As such, you need to be aware of the dangers associated with degreasing and cleaning.
You sometimes need to degrease quartzware before you clean it. You degrease with solvents to remove organic materials that hydrofluoric acid cannot remove. Because acids and solvents react violently, make sure that they cannot come in contact with each other. In particular, DO NOT degrease in the acid sink. Also, make sure all solvents are rinsed off with deionized water before cleaning.
Clean quartzware with hydrofluoric acid (HF). Be aware that acids react violently with solvents. Make sure there are NO solvents present on the quartzware when you clean. Furthermore, DO NOT clean quartzware in the same sink used for solvents. Know the dangers of hydrofluoric acidit kills. The dangers are listed in section 1.4.
Unit 5: Acid Bench Cleanup
A clean acid bench is a safe acid bench. Therefore, the purpose of this section is to give you general guidelines for cleaning up the acid bench. The purpose is not to provide a detailed set of procedures for cleanup; refer to the lab manager for detailed cleanup procedures.
The following are the general cleanup checklists:
Containers Checklist
Return all chemicals to their proper storage area (See storage for incompatibilities).
Dispose of any used chemicals (See disposal section).
Rinse out and dispose of any empty chemical storage bottles.
Rinse out all containers you have used (graduated cylinders, beaker, etc.).
Put away all the cleaned containers.
Acid Bench Checklist
Rinse the acid bench surfaces clean of any chemicals.
Rinse the acid bench sink(s) clean of any chemicals.
Make sure the bench is dry.

Safety hazard
Module III: Storage and Disposal
Unit 1: Incompatibles
You must make sure that accidental mixing does not happen between any chemical. In particular, you need to keep the chemicals in table 5 separate. If you do not, serious chemical reactions may occur. As with any chemical, find someone who is trained to work with these chemicals if you do not have the necessary training, or whenever you are unsure on how to handle, mix, store, or dispose of these chemicals.
Unit 2: Storage
Like proper handling, proper storage of the chemicals will ensure everyone's safety. Therefore you must make sure to do the following:
Store acids and bases in separate cabinets.
Keep acids and solvents in different cabinets.
Label shelves for quick chemical identification.
Make sure that incompatibles are not stored on the same shelf.
Keep same shaped bottles on the same shelf to conserve shelf space.
Never store chemical containers anywhere except in designated cabinets.
Also, keep in mind that chemicals usually have a shelf life, like food at a grocery store. When a chemical is past its shelf life, notify the lab manager and have a properly trained individual dispose of the chemical.
When you need to use the chemicals:
Take the oldest container whose shelf life has not expired.
Make sure the container is sealed when you return it.
Always return the container to its labeled shelf.
Unit 3: Disposal
Ask your lab manager where the chemical disposal bottles are located. These bottles are label by the name of the chemical that goes in it.
use any bottle that is not labeled unless it is a new bottle.
use any bottle that is labeled with a different chemical's name.
If you are disposing of a chemical in a bottle that is being used for the first time, be sure to label it with that chemical's name. When the bottles become full, notify the lab manager who will call the chemical disposal unit.
Also, please be aware that cascades and bubblers are not designed for acid disposal. Use them only for washing wafers or you will clog the filters.

This is directed at everyone who posts here in this forum. Read it, follow it, and understand it. Otherwise, you will not post here again.
While this particular forum is for smack talk, many of you seem to have forgotten that it is very much still for FOOTBALL DISCUSSION. If you want to rip on other teams and/or other NFL players, feel free, However, when you start aiming your attacks toward other posters, and being incredibly ignorant and childish about it, things will not end in a good way for you as a member of these forums. A thread was just deleted that was full of banter that one might hear in a group of 11 year olds on a playground. One person is banned for life for making a blatant racial slur, and one other person is under consideration for the same punishment for their out of line commentary.
If you can't keep it about football, keep it to yourself.
Thank you,

Take one good look at that ass and tell me you won't holler like a rabid leopard seal in mating season. Mexican reporter Ines Sainz' ass is like that homemade apple pie your grandma used to pull out of the oven and then tells you not to touch it 'coz it's freakin hot! The New York Jets seem to think so too and acted upon their male emotions with the use of verbal words in man language e.g hoots and hollers when they caught sight upon Ines' World Wonder of an ass last Sunday in the team's locker room.
Now that all's been said and done, The New York Jets along with their head coach Rex Ryan are reportedly being investigated for unpsortsman like conduct after Sainz posted a picture of said ass on Twitter claminig she was not inappropriately dressed. While I am against sexual harassment of all kind, not including humping my dog's stuffed teddy at night, allow me to play Sherlock Holmes on this one. First or all, what the hell is this hot piece of ass doing in the team's locker room? Second, did she expect them to greet her on their knees and give her hand kisses? They're freakin' jocks for crying out loud, not the Vatican bishops.

squirrelproductions' MiniBow 5 - journal - 56k warn
February 19, 2004
-After reading about a
clearance sale
on MiniBow 5, I called my local CostCo to check availability. I somehow convinced my wife that our 23 month-old son
one; to be honest, I prolly miss my 75 gallon reeftank. Anyways, I scored a rose colored one for my son that night; it was either rose or orange, which was way too loud of a color.
February 22, 2004
- I picked up blue gravel, a floating thermometer and instant Cycle from
Chicago Aquarium and Pond
on 5028 N. Clark Street, Chicago, Illinois. This LFS is nicely kept with fair prices. I have seen other stores where the markup on items and livestock is ridiculous!
We went home and proceeded to setup the tank putting in RO water, the gravel, the thermometer, and finally the Cycle. I plan on at least a one-week cycle. Well see how that goes.
February 25, 2004
- I went to the PetCo to get some fish to stock the tank. Its been less than a week, and Ive already caved in! My wife and son kept asking what's the point of having a tank if you don't have fish. Picked up a red cap oranda. Before everyone chimes in that the 5 gallon is way too small for a goldfish, I know. I know. I plan to move the goldfish into larger accomodations down the line -- prolly a friend's 2000+ gallon pond.
March 2, 2004
- Picked up a red lionhead. Again, I know that the 5 gallon tank is way too small for a goldfish much less two! But each fish was no more than one-inch long, and I did plan on moving them to larger accomodations down the line.
March 6, 2004
- Picked up some ludwigia, cabomba and something that I identified as Variegated Japanese Dwarf Rush from the local PetSmart.
March 9, 2004
- Improved lighting. Ive been reading up on various message boards about how to improve the lighting on our little Mini Bow 5. I was all set to put together LED lighting as outlined in this
. Fortuitously, I came upon this other
which describes a simple mod to expose a second, hidden socket on the stock hood of the Mini Bow 5. The tank now has 2x11 watts of CF lighting (4.4 watts/gallon).
Here is a picture of the tank at day 16.
March 29, 2004
- Day 29 pictures. I got supplies (airline tubing, airline holders, and a check valve) for a
DIY CO2 generator
. Im using a 20oz Gatorade bottle, and Ive prepared the cap for the tubing. The caulk needs 24 hours to cure, so Ill have to wait until tomorrow to setup the rest of the generator.
sans fish
just the lionhead this time
March 30, 2004
- DIY CO2 on! I finally got all the parts necessary, and I mixed my first batch this morning. In a 20 oz Gatorade container filled almost to top with water, I mixed 1/2 cup sugar and 1/4 teaspoon yeast; I forgot to add the baking soda per the
. I used a smaller recipe since I am only dosing an AGA Mini Bow 5. Within the first thirty minutes after mixing, I was getting about 6-10 bubbles per minute.
sits on desk next to tank
I hooked up the tubing to the intake of the MiniBow5s HOT Whisper filter. Within a couple of hours, the plants (cabomba and ludwigia) were pearling! Nice!
HOT filter intake
I did freak out a bit about the DIY CO2 generation as documented on this other
. I resumed dosing after I got the crushed coral on March 31. The DIY CO2 is still dosing the tank 24/7, but the output has slowed to about 1 bubble every 10 seconds, or 6 bubbles per minute. The plants are still pearling, but not as vigorously as that first week. Though, I am interested to see how long the bottle will last, Ill prolly change the solution next week just to avoid the pH swing with lack of CO2. And now that I can see into the tank again, I can see that the plants are due for another trimming already! Both the ludwigia and the cabomba are growing like crazy! It has to be the CO2. I might have to start to supplement trace elements soon.
May 17, 2004
- It's been a while! The tank fell in disrepair and neglect. The green and brown-spot algae was everywhere! All the plants were covered with it; the growth was stunted and regressing. The cabomba was falling apart and deteriorating, and the ludwigia was caked with the algae.
So drastic times required drastic measures: complete breakdown and rebuild of the tank. On Friday,
dropped off a 5-gallon bucket filled with cuttings from his tank ludwigia, vals, anubia, broadleaf and a java fern. NICE! The amazing part about the complete tank breakdown is that one of the MTS survived! All along, I thought the MTS had all perished. Talk about resilient!
I removed most of the blue gravel except for a little island in the middle of the tank. I filled the tank with the washed fluorite to a depth of about two inches. I used the island of blue gravel in the middle so that I wouldnt have to use up that much fluorite.
This is decision that I am already starting to regret.
I then filled the tank 3/4 full with the water from the bucket. I reattached the filter and waited until the next morning for the tank to clear and for the dust to settle.
On Saturday morning, I then planted the plants haphazardly, and I moved the goldfish back into the tank. It was not until
came by later on Saturday that he corrected my improper plantings e.g. anubia buried too deep, foreground plants used in background and vice versa, etc.
Fast-forward to Sunday morning, and I wake up to find that the goldfish had also done a bit of redecorating; a number of plants had been uprooted! Darned fish! I replanted the plants, but only for a short time. I then decided to use plant weights to weigh the plants down so that it would be a bit harder for the goldfish to uproot the plants.
I woke up this Monday morning to find that the fish had done more redecorating and that I need more plant weights for the other plants that I did not weigh down the first time around.

Red Lionhead hiding
June 14, 2004
- Growing tired of the constant uprooting of the plants, the goldfish were removed from the too-small-for-goldfish-anyways-tank. We got new fish - five neon tetras! The fish came from the PetSmart in Evanston. I also refreshed the DIY CO2 generator today! I remembered to start the new solution a couple of hours before I wanted to place it in the generator.
came by and gave us cuttings of star grass and red ludwigia which I aquascaped into the tank after dinner. I culled the water sprite forest a bit to make room for the new cuttings.
also brought over some Plantex CSM + B which I made into a 118ml solution using 1 teaspoon of the CSM + B. I am planning on using 1 drop per day of the CSM + B solution. The stem plants are currently disintegrating; hopefully, the refresh of the CO2 and the addition of the supplements help reverse the trend.
Check out the size of that snail!
the five new neon tetras
June 14, 2004 -
Ghosts in the tank! Picked up some ghosts shrimp, that is. I got a half-dozen ghost shrimp for $2.00 and an Otto Cat for $2.99 from
Aquatic World
on Lincoln (between Southport and Ashland). As hoped, the ghost shrimp are cleaning up the flake food that the remaining 4 neon tetras do not consume.

Today, on the Ed Morrissey Show (3 pm ET), Kevin McCullough joins us again to discuss the intersection of faith and politics. Kevin and I will talk about Helen Thomas' scandal and retirement, and how her words may parallel Barack Obama's policies.Why is the Congressional Black Caucus trying to water down ethics rules? Plus, does anyone know why Obama hasn't conferred yet with BP's CEO?
In bonus minutes, we'll talk with Jeff Dunetz, better known as Yid with Lid, about both the Helen Thomas scandal and the Israel flotilla story. What did the media get wrong about both?
In bonus bonus minutes, I'll talk with Tommy Christopher about Thomas' retirement and the question of who gets her front-row seat.
We'll also talk about BMX Radio Now, Kevin and Stephen's exploding success in independent talk radio, as well as Kevin's book, The Kind of Man Every Man Should Be: Taking a Stand for True Masculinity.
The Ed Morrissey Show and its dynamic chatroom can be seen on the permanent TEMS page — be sure to join us!

Az ingatlan értékelései
The apartment is easy to find and it's only 5-10 minutes by feet to the main centre of Amsterdam. It is a little bit small, therefore it has a nice looking design, but it's enough space for two people. L
The flat was really nice but the dangerous power outlet right over the bed and a hole in the bathroom floor - around the sink - left us with a mixed impression of danger and fun.
Nice apartment and very friendly owner!
Fatih lives in the house aswell and the other neighbours are also great =)
Can fully recommend because there is everything you need in the apartment + an awesome living situation in the heart of Jordaan
Absolutely perfect apartment in a fantastic location. Check in was really smooth, the apartment was clean and just as in the photographs. Fatih and Stephan were also great hosts, allowing us to check in early and check out late, giving us great advices on the local area and what to expect.
I would definitely stay here next time I am in Amsterdam!
Great apartment had such a fabulous stay.
Faith was friendly & helpful.
Will defo come back to stay.
Thank you faith.
Nice apartment very closed to the center and to the train station,in the middle of the Jordaan in a quiet and safe steet.
Fatih was very kind and helpfull
Nice place and location. Fatih was helpful but also gave me my space. Few little bits and pieces that needed doing in the apartment but cannot complain at all. Had a great stay and will end back again!
Excellent location close to central station, the studio apartment has ample space with a large bathroom / shower & the suspended bed is great fun i enjoyed my stay here very much and would definitely book it again.
Thanks Fatih for an enjoyable experience.

Hannah Fry:
Is life really that complex?
Can an algorithm forecast the site of the next riot? In this accessible talk, mathematician Hannah Fry shows how complex social behavior can be analyzed and perhaps predicted through analogies to natural phenomena, like the patterns of a leopard's spots or the distribution of predators and prey in the wild.
This talk was presented to a local audience at TEDxUCL, an independent event. TED editors featured it among our selections on the home page.

After democratically-elected Jacobo Arbenz was overthrown in a military coup sponsored by the United States of America, Guatemala suffered over 30 years of civil war that lead to an estimated 200,000 civilian deaths. By 1954, Guatemala's was already the second successful regime-change lead by the CIA, instigated by the threat of expropriation of land by local government. A U.S. backed militia that was considered the most sophisticated and well-trained force in the region, was able to subsequently keep Guatemala's military dictatorship in power. Finally, due to UN interaction, a peace accord was signed in 1996 and Guatemala has benefited from democratic elections including her most recent in 2003.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Appartment was exactly what we expected!
Perfect location! Nice and clean appartment.
The apartment is very well connected . He noted for its comfort. The only drawback is perhaps the traffic noise but the windows isolate perfectly noise . Communication with the host was at all times very quick and they helped us with any doubt.
Highly recommended.
We had a great time in Viena and really liked the apartment.
The apartment was very clean, spacious and had everything we needed.
We had no issues checking in or out. And the lady that gave us the keys was very understanding and welcoming.
The apartment location is very good. Is not far from the center, you can get there in 10-15 min max with the U1 Metro. You only have 3 stops, and there is a metro station around the corner from the apartment.
You can find a EuroSpar and Billa not far from the apartment (about 10 min walk).
We enjoined our stay and plan to come back. Wen we do this apartment will be our first choice.
very good location, very nice suite as the pictures
I was in Wien in March, the house is 1 minute to the tube station and in 10 minutes you can get the City centre. There is a small shop near the flat perfect to buy food. The flat is quiet and clean and Katherine was very helpful and friendly with us.
Landlord - Helpful and good communication. Detailed instructions to get there provided without asking. Apartment - Looks new and comfortable with good heating. The only thing missing is an oven in case you need to bake a cake or lasagne. Otherwise, it is completely furnished, from coffee machine, microwave oven to fridge. Location - Very convenient. 5 mins to the city center. The U-Bahn station is literally just 30 steps from the main door and there's a convenient store right next to it. It's already on my fave list.
Great location and perfect appartment for families.
Perfect location, welcoming host and good value for money .. The kitchen had everything you need.. We had minor issues like the heater in the living room worked for one day then didn't work again but the heater in the bedroom was strong enough to reach the living room, also the bathroom didn't have soap. In general we enjoyed our stay in the apartment and may come back again :)
Very bad price quality blance.

By Joe Brewin
Kieran Gibbs has hailed Arsenal's winning mentality after recording their seventh straight Premier League victory on Saturday.
The left back hit his first league strike in the 3-0 win over Aston Villa as Arsène Wenger's side tightened their grip on third place.
Gibbs has played a significant part in Arsenal's revival since his return from a lengthy lay-off and believes the team's improved character has paid dividends.
"The most important thing has been the way we have been winning, making people aware what we are capable of," he said. "Whereas in the past we might have lost some of those games due to lack of concentration, we seem to be sealing victories now.
"We just have this belief at the minute that we are not going to lose a game. We were down against Spurs and Newcastle but we don't give up now. We have a resilience now that we are not going to lose games. We need to keep that.
"We would have liked to have played like this all season but we suffered through injuries and a dip in form. That is football."
Arsenal's hopes of securing Champions League football have been significantly boosted in recent weeks and Gibbs is confident of an even better 2012/13 season.
"If we can keep this group together, everyone is hungry, we have a group of players who know each other well and they are gelling," he said. "The new signings have done fantastically well."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

From the AD
Albion College Athletics will have a new identity moving forward, as I unveiled a new set of logos and word marks that provide the Britons with a consistent, distinctive presence in all visual platforms. The college engaged Ologie, an agency based in Columbus, Ohio, to work with college staff on developing a campus-wide marketing initiative of which the athletic marks are a part.
While the traditional block 'A' continues to be the centerpiece of the new visual presence, it has been locked up with ALBION in block lettering. In addition, the Briton mascot, introduced at the start of the 2011-2012 academic year, can be used as a secondary mark.
Albion has a proud athletic tradition, and we did not want to diminish that by dismissing the block 'A'. I believe the new marks will make the impression that Albion is continuing to build on that tradition.
The new marks will be phased in, beginning with the Web site and electronic communications.
Apparel and gifts sporting the new marks continue to arrive at the Albion College Bookstore.
In addition to the visual identity, Albion Athletics is launching new home on the internet, gobrits.com. The Web site, in partnership with Presto Sports, will be the place to find news, scores, and schedules for all 21 varsity programs.
Working with the Presto Sports network, the site will give instant connections of scores to the D3Sports network of sites (D3football.com, D3hoops.com, D3baseball.com, and D3soccer.com).
"We are making a bold statement with our athletic branding initiative," John Thompson, the college's associate vice president for marketing, said. "With the help of Ologie, our creative consultant, we have established a strategy that encompasses all of Albion College, and athletics was a focal point. Consistency was paramount in our process, and with a new Web site, literature, logo, color scheme and attire, we plan to build our brand in a short period of time. This branding effort is a step in the right direction for Briton Athletics."

Living the Suite Life in Sin City
Alexis Park All-Suite Resort • Las Vegas, NV
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two in a Crown Loft Suite, Sundays through Thursdays ($99) or Fridays and Saturdays ($149)
- $15 Food and Beverage Credit
- Complimentary Scheduled Airport Shuttle
- Combine Vouchers to Stay for Up to Three Nights
Las Vegas is the glistening jewel of the Nevada desert—a magnificent feat of human ingenuity, but still a tad dry. If ordinary Vegas vacations leave you thirsty for something a little juicier than a stark hotel room, Escape to the Alexis Park All-Suite Resort just one block off the Las Vegas Strip.
You and a companion will spend two nights in a Crown Loft Suite, Sundays through Thursdays ($99) or Fridays and Saturdays ($149), and receive a $15 food-and-beverage credit and complimentary scheduled shuttle service to and from the airport.
Spacious Crown Loft Suites are organized into two stories, the first filled with a living area and powder room. Upstairs on the loft level is a king-size bed and full bathroom. Your suite also offers a 32-inch flat-screen TV, a wet bar and refrigerator, and Wi-Fi.
Despite its close proximity to the Vegas Strip, the self-contained property insulates its guests from the din of Sin City. Garden paths wind through the well-manicured grounds, and three outdoor pools ensure you'll stay cool even in sweltering weather. A restaurant, lounge, and live comedy club provide all the food and fun you can handle in one day.
This is Las Vegas, of course, so you'll want to branch out and explore. Less than two blocks from the resort, you'll find the glittering strip of casinos that put this desert town on the map. There's no shortage of eye-popping sights, from the Shark Reef aquarium at Mandalay Bay to the Hoover Dam. Check out the spectacular lighted fountains at the Bellagio, or take a peek at the surreal wax likenesses at Madame Tussauds.
For a feast as memorable as Vegas itself, return to the Alexis Gardens Restaurant to use your $15 food-and-beverage credit. You'll order steaks, seafood, and decadent desserts from the extensive menu, dining in an open-air space that overlooks one of the swimming pools. For a more casual experience, the Pegasus Lounge offers drinks and pub fare from the grill.
Nevada's desert doesn't have to be a bare-bones destination. Get the full-service treatment at a true Vegas oasis with this Escape to Alexis Park All-Suite Resort.
"My husband and I recently stayed at Alexis Park and were very pleased with the resort. The suites are very nice and really affordable. The pools are lovely. This is a non-gaming resort away from the noise of the main strip. Very relaxing."-- TripAdvisor

Mendocino County Sheriff's Deputy Orell Massey, 58, suffered major injuries while on duty in an early morning crash in Calpella. Massey is in the hospital as of press time; his injuries are not considered life-threatening.
Massey was travelling north on North State Street at about 45 mph in his patrol vehicle when a southbound car crossed over into his lane and crashed into the vehicle's left side, according to California Highway Patrol reports. Massey was taken to the hospital with major injuries.
Cassandra Guerra, 21, of Ukiah was driving the southbound 2005 Infinity involved in the collision. She escaped with minor injuries. The Infinity was travelling at about 60 mph during the rainy conditions.
Guerra was "driving at an unsafe speed for the weather and roadway conditions," according to the CHP.
Both drivers were wearing seatbelts, and intoxication did not play a factor in the collision.

Two bisexual chicks, one laying on the bed, and the other laying on top of her, face to face, making out. This provides a convenient and pecker pleasing cunt stack for the man to alternately tap on at his penis tingling leisure.
Once I started to cum, I hugged the Olsen twins very tightly around the waist and popped back and forth from one twat to the other for about 6 cum blasts apiece. It was the best cunt stack I ever fucked!

Another Americas is Possible: The Impact of NAFTA on the U.S. Latino Community and Lessons for Future Trade Agreements [1] (.pdf)
A Joint Report by Labor Council for Latin American Advancement and Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch
August 2004
In this report, the Labor for Latin American Advancement and Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch examine the impact of NAFTA on Latino communities throughout the United States. Implemented in 1994, NAFTA is the most fully realized version of the corporate globalization model. It is currently being used as the blueprint for other trade and investment agreements that the Bush Administration is pushing in the hemisphere, such as the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) [2], the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) [3] and an array of bilateral free trade agreements with the Andean countries (Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru) and Panama. While there is support for trade, NAFTA is not the model to follow and should not be copied in these agreements.
