Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by alexa032, Jan 10, 2009.
Lately is seems that people are more excited about Stucky than anyone else.
Cmon Roscoe, don't tell me you 100% believe what a reporter writes down as if it's the truth, lol. You never have some sort of doubt about anything you read in the press? Btw my posts arent aimed at the reporter just at ppl's reactions. If Rip said what he said there is nothing we can do about it anyway, so no need to go off on it, just let the Piston organisation handle it.
I don't trust the press at all. But I have been reading and listening to Chris for years, and while he is a lousy analyst, he doesn't make stuff up. The guy actually asks an important question, getting to the type of information many of us love to get, and prints the response, and gets demonized for it. Unless you have some proof that he's fabricated his article (a serious charge that could lose him his job) why do you insist that there is some inaccuracy in what he wrote? Good point. No sense in running chat either. There is nothing we can do about the outcome of the games. CLOSE THE FORUM! IT'S OUT OF OUR HANDS!
Rip and Maxiell for Rudy Fernandez and Raef Lafrentz. Get it done Joe. We get (IMO) the perfect compliment to Stuckey for years to come, who won't mind coming off the bench until AI is out of town, and get yes.... Even more cap space.
Lafrentz??? has he even played this year?? If we need to trade Rip and Max, I would look at maybe the Thunder as a trading partner as someone suggested and look at swapping them for Chris Wilcox and Jeff Green.. You are getting a 6'10 C Wilcox who could possibly start and 6'9 swing forward in Green to back up Tay starters >RS/AI/TP/RW/CW bench >WB/AA/JG/AD/KB/AJ utility reserves> Fabio/Acker
I'm about to start a thread with this article, but talk about what being a team player and Piston is all about, this now my favorite Piston, hands down!!!!! Weekend Dime: Talking deal or no deal with Donnie Walsh - NBA - ESPN
Lafrentz is a 12.7M expiring. That's all we need from him. Combine with Sheed and AI and we're talking over $48Million in expirings. We could add a max free agent this year AND next year if we wanted (Boozer and Amare?). For this year, we'd essentially be the team we are right now plus Rudy Fernandez, who bring that flat-out deadly deep-ball shooter to stretch the D out for Rodney and AI to wreak havoc in the paint. As for the Thunder deal. I doubt you'll be prying Jeff Green away. I would certainly go for a Wilcox and Green for that package, but I don't think OKC goes for it. I like the deal with Portland because I think Portland would have good reason to make the deal.
If Darius Miles comes back on the books, Portland needs to keep their cap relief. And besides, who will sit down so Rip can start? That scrub Brandon Roy?
Rip/Roy start next to each other at the SG/SF spots. They'll be a little undersized at the 3 either way, but that doesn't hurt in the West like it does the East (w/ Lebron, Pierce, etc). And I still believe Rip @ the 3 isn't THAT bad. It's Prince at the 4 that kills the small ball thing. FWIW, I got the Rip to Portland idea from a Blazer fan. As for Cap space. With Darius back on the cap they'll be at ~51.8 Million even if they renounce both Frye and Diogu. If the cap stays roughly the same as it is (as predicted) that gives them about $6.2 Million. So, basically the MLE, which they could have even if this deal went down. Cliff notes version: Blazers really don't have cap space anyways if Miles is back on the books.
I mean when as in the future in the PO's. I don't think it's unrealistic to think this is not a team that's going to go to the finals or that deep into the PO'. Sure anything can happen (and if we make it to the finals, i will be thrilled; I'll probably be drunk and thrilled) but as of right now we don't look like a contender. Now when everyone gets healthy and the SL situation gets resolved it could be a completely different story. I don't mean winning a bunch of regular season games and then losing badly in the PO's. Of course people stopped caring. It was like groundhog day over and over again. And i think fans are smart enough to realize that Flip wasn't a championship caliber coach and/or that that team wasn't going all the way. It was also the same rotations, the same bench (none) players, etc. Winning did not make us stale. The way we lost every year on repeat did. I mean putting a competitive product out there with a realistic shot in the PO's or at least something people could root for. The fans in DET cheer for defense, effort etc. We kept going further away from that formula and eventually turned into something no one recognized. It's funny. We're the opposite. This season i have been missing alot of games in favor of going out, sleeping, etc.
I didnt say you can't discuss it i said "no need to go off on it". Guess i am not as an emotional person as the rest, i tend to be rational (or atleast try to). For me there is a difference between saying/discussing it wasnt a smart move by Rip and how it will effect his presence withijn the team or just tearing someone apart and flog him till he bleeds. I haven't been reading or listening to Chris for years, so he could be right about what was being said. I dunno, like i said i wasn't there and at 1 point in my life i just stopped believing ppl who are telling what others say. I distrust ppl, so any report i read i regard as informational or something that could be true, not as something that is 100% true. Clearly the report gives an indication that Rip aint happy coming off the bench and that he doesnt want to. But so is AI. No news there.
Well put.
From McCoskey Pistons gearing for long season | detnews.com | The Detroit News Come on guys, don't disappoint me. That AI, what a selfish, cancer, etc. Does he think he's above the TEAM ? Trade him!
Explain that thinking. Tayshaun Prince..........6'9", 215 lbs. Rip Hamilton................6'7", 193 lbs. If you take a look around the Eastern Conference you will see that Tay is just as tall as the majority of the match-ups he draws at the 4 while giving up approx. 20 lbs. 20 lbs. is a lot to give to someone but with his reach he can counter that at least a little. Rip on the other hand is nearly an inch shorter on average and what's worse is he is giving up approx. 30 lbs. per match-up. He weighs 193 lbs! I found the average weight of a starting SF in the East to be roughly 225 lbs. Numbers aside, my point is that Tay has the length to at least attempt to guard a PF while Rip has a hard time "D"ing up someone his own size.
We all know what you meant. You're the one person here who doesn't watch the games, forgets they are even playing, can't seem to account for the fact they have been winning, and then proceed to tell us we have no chance.
You have a point lpgrl...we have a clash of egos and Coach MC is going to have to deal with it. There won't be any volunteers. The logical conclusion is that if Rip has bloodflow problems off the bench he should be traded. AI is here for the year.
You know for someone who doesn't watch any of the games i have to say i'm extremely insightful to come up with all this analysis through just looking at the box score. No comment on AI not wanting to come off the bench either ?
i missed the ai quote saying he won't come off the bench.... can you please show it to me. I was/am fine with neither wanting them to come off the bench... but only one player has been quoted saying he won't do it.
Rational is being paranoid about a newspaper report, with absolutely no reason to doubt it? Wow. Look, McCosky printed/got an answer, the sort of which many of us live and die for. We hate that the reporters softball the team, we hate that no one covers them objectively, digs deep etc. So a guy does his job, does it well, and by all accounts, does it accurately, and you blame him, because Rip says something stupid. That's not rational. Sorry, not letting you off the hook on this one. Well, you did claim it was unsubstantiated, then back pedaled. Sorta the same deal as Menace. What you call objectivity, is the radical opposite in this case. I don't get why McCosky has to be the soft target for Hamilton's and the team's issues. Maybe we should just stop getting any Pistons news, lest there is something for the fans to talk and argue about?
I don't think anyone considers your posts analysis. Where is the source for your statement? Surely, as someone studying law, you know the difference between proof and speculation

Flying used to be so sexy.
Back in the days when passengers had to walk across the tarmac to board a plane, they were greeted by "air hostesses" arrayed in knee-high boots, short skirts and white gloves.
In 1971, the now-defunct U.S.-based National Airlines ran a saucy and suggestive ad that featured a flight attendant named Cheryl, smiling affably and accompanied by the seductive slogan, "I'm Cheryl. Fly me."
There was another one, this time with Jo.
Business reportedly jumped 23 percent, despite accusations of sexism.
Along with National Airlines' advertising campaign (American Airlines may have given them a run for their money), Eastern Airlines encouraged flirting with stewardesses by handing out little black books to male passengers for storing phone numbers.
Flight attendants were trained at "charm farms" to maximize their feminine sex appeal and a book depicting the golden age of travel by two "adventurous" former flight attendants entitled "Coffee, Tea or Me?" further stoked the flames of the fantasy of flying.
The airline industry has since gone through some major overhauls.
Airlines have adopted a gender-neutral professionalism, austere security measures and the ever-widening gaps between the luxury seat and the cramped budget one.
Societal norms have changed for the better -- it's hard to imagine some of the outfits pictured here ever being approved.
Still, it's interesting to recall the fashion ethos of yesteryear.

I am new to this forum, hello everybody. I am also new to beekeeping. I jumped in with two feet, no one to teach me so much but wanting to learn. So I have a few hives going, all done in various ways. Beekeeping is fascinating, I am sure you all are quite aware of this, it is new to me...
Here is my scenario and question. I recovered a hive from a wall of an old farmhouse ( have been recovering feral hives here in the local area). I took the comb from the wall and tied the comb to the top bars in a Kenyan Top Bar hive I made. It was full of brood so I couldn't see doing anything else.
I gave the hive a few days to get established before disrupting them seeing as they had quite a traumatic end if the week last week. When I checked the the bars, the first looked good was attached nicely to the bar, covered with bees, The next, oh no, those little girls attached it to the bottom, and the comb behind -- Did I do a bad thing? Is there a way I can fix this problem, The comb is so fragile I don't want to manipulate it too much.
Any words of wisdom would be appreciated -- thanks -- Eric

forum: Jamie's Food Revolution

My child will prob be kicked out of school my rant to principal:
I don't mean to be one of those angry moms dumping this on you.
I know the wellness policy well. I was there when it was enacted. I remember it clearly because in 1st grade, one kid had a cupcake party for his bday, and then the next week was my daughter's birthday, and in the interim, the policy was enacted. She was so sad.
I just can't comprehend that any board would say they are putting out a "wellness policy" which is supposed to be in the best interest of our children's health, yet condone the completely non-nutritious food that is served in the lunchroom.
I'm mostly just frustrated and don't know where to put that feeling. I tried working with an arm of the PTA on lunch food issues, and bureaucracy just moved at a glacial pace. I work in the movie business, and when someone makes a decision, it happens fast and on budget. So I had to beg out of that group because I don't have 10 years to wait for the health of my child. Yes, yes, I know there's the salad bar option, but I had made some unannounced "spot checks", visiting my daughter at lunch to see what she had on her plate, and it wasn't the right stuff. So I've resorted to packing healthy lunches of her choosing.
I don't understand a wellness policy that would dis-include a cupcake made of wheat, eggs, milk and sugar, yet feed all that nonsense they put out at the cafeteria. (And I know you weren't here when this happened.)
Example: November 1-5 food menu:
BAKED CHICKEN ROUNDUPS - probably not chicken, probably a mashing of chicken parts
w/BAKED SEASONED POTATO WEDGES - carb (where's the veggie?)
FRUIT - 1 good piece of food in this entire weekly menu
BEEF RIB B QUE SANDWICH - lots of sugar and cornsyrup and carb
SUN CHIPS - carb (no fruit or veggie)
SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS - carb and more meat mash with bread in it
w/CHEESEY GARLIC BREADSTICK - more carb - again, no fruit or veggie
TACO BAR - meat mash and cheese, maybe some iceberg non-nutritious lettuce, maybe some hothouse non-nutritious tomatoes
CINNAMON CHURRO - carb - no fruit, no veggie
THIN CRUST CHEESEPIZZA -carb, and those who say the sauce is a veggie, I don't buy it
GREEN SALAD - again, probably shredded non-nutritious iceburg lettuce with some slivers of purple cabbage, but not enough to make a nutritional dent
100% FRUIT ICEE JUICEE - maybe ok, but I have my doubts about the fact that there's no sugar or preservatives or corn syrup in it.
I know a parent who had her child's cholesterol checked, and it was sky high, even tho, like me, she feeds her child only wholesome, healthy food. She took her child out of the school lunch program and after 1 month, the child's cholesterol went back to normal.
The district cares about scores and presumably learning. But a kid who is sugared and carbed up on cafeteria food goes into a sugar coma after lunch, energy goes down...it's all just not good; learning can't be at it's peak under those circumstances. (Day in and day out of this, but on a holiday, no cupcake.) My child is energized after lunch. She gets a pure, unadulterated protein, a green veggie, a fruit, and a honey stick for snack, and if she's lucky, an organic ginger snap cookie, usually a little bag of nuts, and maybe some organic gummy bear vitamins. And she's fine with it. That is a healthy meal that costs me probably less than $2 per day to provide to her. It's a shame the school, district, state, nation can't get on board with this. Pretty basic stuff. They wonder why there's so much cancer, alzheimers, parkinson's, diabetes, obesity, etc. I think I just spelled it out.
Again, just not sure where to direct that frustration, or if it even matters, or if anyone cares. I know you are not the bad guy in this, so I reiterate, I'm just frustrated.
(Again, this was sent to the principal of my daughter's elementary school.)

Re: My child will prob be kicked out of school my rant to principal:
Good for you for packing a good lunch for your child. Since you've made your voice heard I don't know what else you can do short of organizing other parents. Going unannounced to see your daughter may not have been a very good thing to do as most schools ask that you check into the office first. Lots of scary things happen when parents just show up. Particularly if there are custody issues. I've had some nightmarish experiences with fathers coming to see their kids on the playground during recess. Anyhow, it's nice to know that there are concerned parents out there who know what to feed their children. I can't believe the crap I see in shopping carts when I see families out shopping.
#3 Tue 16 Nov 10 4:58am
Re: My child will prob be kicked out of school my rant to principal:
Just to clarify...it was unanounced to my child, not the school. At our school, we can enter whenever we wish, to observe whatever we want, we just have to sign in at the office and get a badge to wear, proving we are ok to be on campus.
I've tried. No success. That's why I support and will get involved with Jaimie's Food Revolution. There's a vote going on on Facebook now to get Jamie to Los Angeles. I hope he comes. It's not my district, but it's close enough (Santa Monica) to make some noise over hear!
PS: me too (re shopping carts). And also when I go on field trips with the class, it's shocking to see what is in some kids' lunch boxes! The good old motto "sh*t in, sh*t out!" I put good stuff in my kid, knowing that only good will come out of it!
Let's all keep up the good fight!

Re: My child will prob be kicked out of school my rant to principal:
Good on you for caring and trying. Your daughter will thank you, even if no one else does yet.
Of course good carbohydrates and good proteins are important, in the right amounts. But too much of each, especially fried to be high in fat, and with no real fruit and vegies, is very bad news.
I bet when the schools have bread, pasta, pizza bases, etc., none of it's wholewheat either ...
Being Australian, not American, I don't know what the 'wellness policy' is. But from what you say here, and from what I saw of nutrition guidelines that American schools were going by in Jamie's Food Revolution TV series, the policies and guidelines sound a bit - well - not quite right.
Good luck. Keep up the good fight.

Re: My child will prob be kicked out of school my rant to principal:
We have the same "wellness" policy. We aren't allowed to take in any "junk" food to the classrooms but they have fudgesicles on the approved list. I can't make muffins but I can take in fudgesicles.
Then I completely LOVE that at the check out in the lunchroom they have a display of chips and crap that the kids can buy for 80 cents. We can't send it into the classrooms but as long as the school is making money off of it, it's ok.
Even the yogurt they put in the lunchroom as a "healthy" option is Trixx yogurt...all full of sugar and dyes.
My children pack almost every day. We will allow them to buy once a week normally but one of my children never ever buys. It's sad we can't trust the school to care for our children nutritionally.
#6 Tue 16 Nov 10 4:10pm
Re: My child will prob be kicked out of school my rant to principal:
My principal replied back with admirable restraint, referring me to the person in charge of the food services in our district.
We'll see where that gets me. I wish Jamie were here to help me!
In the meantime, it's good to know that folks like you who have replied have lucky children, who are the recipients of your creativity and care!
I take my daughter to the farmer's market every weekend. I also get a CSA box every 2 weeks, which we go thru together like it's Christmas morning, wondering at what we've received, and wrapping and putting into the fridge. We spend our quality time in the kitchen, where our catch-phrase is "There's Magic in the Kitchen!" We have a ball! (I'm a single mom with a full time job, but we make time in that kitchen every day!)
Keep on keepin' on!

Re: My child will prob be kicked out of school my rant to principal:
I'm wondering, with the wellness policy, are you allowed to make something healthy and send that to school for the kids to share? Is it actually about the nutrition of the food, or is it perhaps about the schools, school boards, etc. being concerned parents might not prepare the food hygienically, or something like that?
#10 Wed 17 Nov 10 2:39am
Re: My child will prob be kicked out of school my rant to principal:
Both. We can't make nor can we bring store bought goodies in.
"Hi kids, I'm Kylie's mom, and in honor of her birthday, I've brought you all carrot sticks!" Oooooh, they'll be so excited!
BUT if I give her a dollar, she can buy a fat-ass chocolate chip cookie in the cafeteria.
Hypocrites. That's really the crux of it for me, the hypocrisy of it all. "We have published this wellness policy, yet we provide sh*t for your kids to eat at lunch."

News: Tagged as FF Signa Serif Stencil
New release: FF56
FontFont designers have been recipients of prestigious type design awards, but few can claim to have been even before their creations were officially published. Ludwig Übele's FF Tundra — a recipient of a Certificate of Excellence in Type Design at this year's TDC2 competition — is now available for licensing. Other new releases are Jörg Hemker's versatile sans FF Sero; the informal cousin of the popular FF Mister K; a monospaced variant for FF Nuvo; and stencil versions for the Danish sans/serif type system FF Signa.
The new designs
FF Sero
FF Sero – Jörg Hemker's versatile sans FF Sero combines the striking forms of an American grotesque with the legibility of a humanist sans serif typeface. It has open contours, a distinct x-height and a homogeneous grayscale value. During seven years of development the classic letter forms have matured into a balanced, sovereign typeface. Eight harmonized weights and an extensive character set allow for a flexible and versatile typography. Cyrillic and Greek characters provide an extended language support.
For a limited time, FF Sero Medium is available for free download in OT, Offc and Web formats. Download it on the Goodies page.
FF Tundra
FF Tundra – Ludwig Übele's award-winning design FF Tundra is a narrow serif typeface with stressed forms and soft contours. The idea evolved from investigating how a narrow typeface should look for optimal readability. To avoid a fence-effect, FF Tundra emphasizes the horizontal line. Ludwig Übele combined strong serifs, flat shoulders (see n) and open but heavy endings (see a, e, c) with a moderate contrast to achieve a balanced, legible typeface with a certain softness and humanity. FF Tundra has been designed for continuous text, but is also suitable for magazines and headlines (especially the Extra Light) and will surely work in newspapers as well. The family consists of six weights from Extra Light to Bold, each with Italics and Small Caps and many OpenType layout features.
FF Mister K Informal
FF Mister K Informal – This new design by Julia Sysmäläinen is the latest offspring of the FF Mister K font family. It began in one of Kafka's Quart Notebooks with handwritten texts that look astonishingly clear. The letter forms are carefully placed line after line but still reveal the author's characteristic writing style. There is a simple explanation: These are final, rewritten texts. The first version — loaded with heavy editing and correction marks — can be found elsewhere in Kafka's literary remains. The strong personality of FF Mister K is often appreciated, but some designers find it too unpredictable for down-to-earth target groups. So enriching the K Family with a clear, friendly looking member derived from Kafka's stylistic repertoire seemed predestined by the users' needs.
FF Nuvo Mono
FF Nuvo Mono – Siegfried Rückel expands his magazine typeface FF Nuvo with a monospaced variant for all weights, including Small Caps and Italics. This offers new options for traditional and unusual designs. The design retains its stroke endings with "chipped" corners, which make them appear soft when seen from a distance or in small point sizes, but reveal their peculiar forms at a closer look. However its x-height was lowered somewhat in comparison to FF Nuvo to emphasize FF Nuvo Mono's typewriter character. The calligraphic touch in the characters a, g and y make this typeface stand out among other typewriter-like faces, as do the alternate characters for a, g, k, s and y, which add typographic versatility.
FF Signa Stencil/FF Signa Serif Stencil
FF Signa Stencil/FF Signa Serif Stencil – Ole Søndergaard's stencil faces can be used to produce actual stencils, but more often than not they are selected for their unique aesthetic. It is fascinating to see how separate "floating" fragments combine to form recognizable character shapes. The way those letters are cut up gives a stencil design its specific character. FF Signa — a typically Danish typeface — is rooted in architectural lettering rather than book typography. This sans serif of concise letter forms and a minimum of detail joined the growing collection of sans/serif type systems when the serif variant was added in 2005. Now both versions are available as stylish stencil designs.
Updated and extended FontFonts
FF Info
FF Info Text, FF Info Display, FF Info Correspondence Pro – Erik Spiekermann's and Ole Schäfer's FF Info Office is the typeface Erik Spiekermann himself feels should be more popular "because it works well on screen and is really cool but nobody has found it behind the larger FF Info Text and Display families." It has been renamed FF Info Correspondence to avoid confusion with the Office font format. The complete FF Info family, one of the best wayfinding type systems, has now been upgraded to Pro language support and has been carefully fine-tuned.
FF Profile
FF Profile – Martin Wenzel's FF Profile is one of the more beautiful humanist sans serifs in the FontFont library. This clear, uncluttered and attractive family based on the broad-nibbed pen was already available in OpenType Pro format. Its character set was expanded to include Greek.
New Offc and Web FontFonts

i hvae GMC ACADIA 2008. i have used it till reached 1800KM. after that i have found a problem with aceleration. i have take the car almost 6 times to GMC service center. they check the car with elctronic devises and till know they dont admit that there is a problem. we tried the showroom office car which is normal but the do not admit. i asked them to find the problem other wise change the car. the car is still with them in the service center
Can you tell me more about the issues you're having with you're Acadia? What sounds do you hear? Are there any vibrations? The more details description the better...Thanks...
there is no sound issue as much as accselaration issue. when u drive the car the first minete ok then it becomes heavy. in addition the accslaartion some time goes inside without bushing. i went many times for rood test with the service senter but the decline that there is a problem. while driving shoowroom car is defirent and smooth. we reached 2 the satge that i do not trust the service senter as they do not know how to fined the problem and try 2 avoid telling there mangement about the defrence between my car and the soowroom car.thanks
are u aware of a simmler case like the one i have n my carhow is the rateing for acadia 2008
Similar concerns we see with our Acadias here is that they ahve a bulletin on reprogramming the tranny for better shifts. some vehicles wouldn't shift accordingly, almost hesitant, which sounds similar to what we get up here.
i have the same problem,with my 2008 enclave,same car different body,also with the abs brake system,loud bang when taking off,so pissed of,i've had it,insane.

Vice Sundays Vice Sundays with Jerzy
Born and raised in Chicago Illinois Jerzy began his radio career being on-air in a top three market at the age of 21 making him one of the stations youngest on-air personalities. His early accomplishments didnt come overnight nor do they complete even a tenth of his to-do list. Yet they say a lot about who he is where hes been and where hes going. His passion for music began before the days of CDs (and gasp- iPods); back when Jerzy would hold the mic of a Casio recorder up to a boom box to tape-record dj mixes. After years of going to concerts listening to hip-hop browsing record shops for vinyl and mobile DJing his innate desire to be in music consumed him. Jerzy joined the Chicago nightlife scene back when he was still considered to be jail bait sneaking into clubs hosting and promoting for various parties. Jerzy signed on as the baby of a promotions crew and quickly learned how to balance the demands of his freshman year in college with the chaos of touring clubs and campuses around the Midwest. While promoting Jerzy was introduced to key players at one of Chicagos top radio stations B96. With his foot inthe door he began interning during his sophomore year which then led to a consecutive internship for the launch of the Stylz and Roman night show. The Cinderella story continued that same year after months of demo shopping when Jerzy was given the opportunity to fill in for his first on-air shift on radiolet alone on B96. Currently Jerzy is on-air every weeknight from 7pm-12am and Saturdays from 6pm-10pm His love for music doesnt stop there; you can also find him DJing at some of Chicagos hottest clubs throughout the week.

Reviews of this property
This appartment is Great!! We enjoyed it very much!! Nearby shops, central! The apartment is very complete, clean and comfortabel!!
Would certainly book this again!
Apartement is very nice old canary style flat and we enjoyed our stay a lot.
Also convenient location in downtown Las Palmas makes everything very easy.
For example bus station is just about 300 meters. However I am dropping one point from the maximum because of the noisy neighbours in next house Navarro 5. Discussion started, mainly high female voices, normally 1 AM and lasted few times to the morning with bigger group partying.
apartment located in the city center, large, equipped with basic items and clean towels. Next to the apartment has everything you need - shops, bakeries, car rental. The downside of the apartment was that first day when we moved very stench in the apartment, was stuffy and uncomfortable. We had to ventilate the apartment throughout the day. Second, the offer is written that the apartment has two bathrooms - this is true but the second bathroom is in such a state that you can not use it. Bathroom doors must be closed because it really stinks.
We stayed in this apartment in February 2015 during the carnival and we really enjoyed the experience! A beautiful place to recommend without hesitation. The apartment is really great, clean and spacious, and we felt very welcome. Awesome location and there was everything we needed. I would not hesitate to consider staying here again in the future. Thank you Petra for helping make our stay in Las Palmas an enjoyable and memorable experience.
We have just came back after a week spent in Las Palmas. The apartament was perfect, better than we'd expected. Very spacious and well equipped. It's situated in a very convenient location. If we decide to go there again, we would surely love to stay in the same place.
We stayed one week in the apartment - 6 adults and one infant. We had a wonderful time and the apartment was a perfekt base for us exploring Las Palmas and the surroundings. The apartment is fully equiped and we enjoyed the small "patio" or balcony. There is only a few minutes walk to the City and shopping and about 15 minutes walk to the beautiful beach. We would not hesitate booking the apartment for another visit to Las Palmas.
The apartment met our expectations. Plenty of room, fully equipped, good beds, clean and tidy.
For those who can carry his suitcase for a fairly narrow stairway, about 4 m pitch, it is totally worth its price.
Walking distance to everything you need. As playa, shops, restaurants, marina, shopping mall and port where cruise ships dock.
If you choose an apartment in a house on a narrow street in the town center can not have expectations of view.
Lägenheten motsvarade våra förväntningar. Gott om plats, fullt utrustad, bra sängar, rent och snyggt.
För den som orkar bära upp sin väska för en ganska smal trappa, ca 4 m stigning, är den helt klart värt sitt pris.
Promenadavstånd till allt man behöver. Som playa, affärer, restauranger, marina, galleria och hamn där kryssningsfartygen lägger till.
Väljer man en lägenhet i ett hus vid en smal gata mitt i stan kan man inte ha förväntningar på utsikten.
The owner has been brilliant, extremely helpful posting my coat back to me after I inadvertently left it behind.
The flat is very clean, extremely spacious and in a good location, however, it was very noisy all night (midnight until 5.30am due to the flat next door which made sleeping extremely difficult.
The steps up to the flat had a very strong smell of human urine. I have made the owner aware and she is dealing with both issues.
The apartment was centrally located within walking distance to the beach and Catalina Park.
What I missed was a balcony or terrace. Otherwise everything was great.
Lägenheten låg centralt med gångavstånd till stranden och Catalinaparken .
Det jag saknade var en balkong eller terass . För övrigt var allt bra .
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone

Burmese pythons are native to India and parts of Southeast Asia. But they have found a new place to lurk. A study by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) shows that the pythons are now a big threat to parts of Florida, especially the Everglades.
What brought the pythons from thousands of miles away to the Sunshine State? The reptile trade is big business. So many snakes are shipped to Florida to be bought as pets. In fact, the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association says the reptile trade is worth more than two million dollars a year. Over the years, some of the pet pythons have either escaped or were turned loose after they grew too big for their owners to care for. (An average python can be anywhere from 12- to 19-feet long.) Others may have slithered from pet shops during Hurricane Andrew in 1992.
Now, in a hunt for food, they are wiping out native species including raccoons, opossums, bobcats and other mammals in the Everglades. According to the PNAS study, in areas where pythons are present, sightings of medium-sized mammals are down as much as 99%. Researchers found a large decrease in the small mammals that are part of a python's diet. They also found there were more of those mammals living in areas without any pythons.
In January, U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar announced a federal ban on the import of Burmese pythons and three other species of snakes to the United States. On Monday, he said that the recent PNAS report shows why the ban was needed.
"The study paints a picture of the real damage that Burmese pythons are causing to native wildlife and the Florida economy," Salazar said. Some snakes, including the boa constrictor, are still allowed to be imported.
A New Predator
Pythons thrive in the warm, humid climate of the Everglades. But a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service report found that the huge snakes are learning to adapt to colder climates too. This will allow them to spread to other areas.
The increase in pythons is causing a huge problem for local officials protecting endangered animals. Michael Dorcas is a researcher who worked on the PNAS study. He says pythons are a new top predator—enemy—and shouldn't be in the Everglades.
"We have documented pythons eating alligators, and alligators eating pythons," he said. "It depends on who is biggest during the encounter."
Snake Census
Since 2000, the National Park Service has counted 1,825 Burmese pythons that have been caught in and around the Everglades. Among the largest was a 156-pound, 16.4-foot python captured last month.
Experts fear the pythons will continue to disrupt the food chain and upset the Everglades' delicate environmental balance. Even though wildlife officials have tried to remove the snakes in the past, they say the population is now too big to be controlled. The problem could become worse as the snakes continue to breed and multiply.

Server throttling saves money, energy and the planet
Get your free white paper
In today's fast-paced and demanding IT environments, organizations need to minimize waste and make the best possible use of the resources at hand. This paper gives an overview of a technology called "throttling" which refers to the ability to dynamically control power consumption, fan speeds, and performance that is available on Dell™ PowerEdge™ servers, powered by Intel® Xeon® processors. Throttling helps you save energy, squeeze the maximum performance out of available resources, and ensure long product life. Reducing power consumption would lead to reduce greenhouse gas emission and hence saving planet earth.

IBM rep says: 'Knowledge transfer is challenging'
By Kris Rodriguez
Public Affairs Specialist
(Feb. 5, 2008)--The UTSA Department of Computer Science recently welcomed IBM software engineers and other representatives for a two-day software engineering workshop in the Science Building computer laboratory on the 1604 Campus.
Participants from several Texas universities attended presentations and workshops to learn about new technologies and challenges facing the software engineering industry.

Jerry Everett, a certified senior testing education specialist with IBM Learning, discussed the technological equipment used in the industry and the skills needed in the field.
Max Maurer, a 25-year veteran software engineer with IBM, said his laboratory is expanding the workforce using global resources. At the workshop, he described the changes at IBM and other software engineering companies brought on by globalization of the industry.
"There is a voracious appetite for new software, and we need people to produce it," said Maurer. "We could have 100 people and produce it over 10 years or 200 people and produce it over five years."
According to Maurer, one of the biggest challenges is knowledge transfer from the people who wrote the original codes and are nearing retirement, and new employees who will fill their roles. He said prospective software programmers should be curious and skeptical -- and should take advantage of internships that will open them to real-world challenges they don't see in the classroom.
Maurer said IBM usually hires interns after they complete internships with the company. The organization also encourages employees to pursue lifelong learning.
Kay Robbins, UTSA professor of computer science, organizes and hosts the UTSA/IBM Quality Software Engineering Workshop each semester with representatives from various software companies.

Fewer dairies every year is a certainty. Which ones stay in business is not.
by Dennis Halladay, Hoard's Dairyman Western Editor
In the brief period that the number of licensed U.S. dairies has been tracked (19 years), the trend is as frightening as it is obvious: the total gets smaller every year.
That trend is a warning for every milk producer who assumes they will be in business 10, 20 or 30 years from now. Simply put, getting to the future won't be easy.
The 19 years of data are sobering: 131,535 dairies in 1992, but just 51,481 in 2011. The average percentage of dairies going out of business during that time has been 4.8 percent per year.
Fortunately, the rate of decline has been just 2.9 percent for the last 10 years, but don't let it fool you. Over time even a small number will add up to a lot of former milk producers. For instance, if the rate of decline were to average just 2.8 percent per year from now on:
– there would only be 39,870 dairies left in 2020
– there would only be 30,013 dairies left in 2030
– there would only be 22,593 dairies left in 2040
There are big implications here for almost everyone who is still in business at those dates. Fewer U.S. dairies may mean slightly fewer total cows, but it's very unlikely to mean less total milk. That means herds will be much bigger and production per cow will be much higher than today.
One of the biggest challenges producers face may be farmland. Will those who are still dairying own or have access to enough ground to provide an adequate supply of forage and to responsibly utilize all wastewater and solids?
Those who cannot answer "yes" may eventually find themselves part of the 2.8 percent.

How could Drew or Chris possibly be happy if Des does end up choosing them? Impossible…..Des and Brooks both have past relationship issues and that's why she was most attracted to the man that was withholding his feelings .They both need therapy. If they do end up together I Daubt it would last without lots of therapy.Too bad Des didnt fall in love with Chris ,he's the whole package.maybe he will be the next Bachelor.

Students Start School Year With Free Backpacks
Costco Donates More than 400 Bags
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Summer break is over and most local classroom doors are now open. The job for teachers and staff at Adams Elementary School is to get the new year off to a good start.
"Boys and girls, there's a lot of friends here today," School Principal Amy Alzina told the incoming students on Monday.
At their first assembly, more than 400 students packed the gym. Alzina used the gathering to get her students up and ready for learning
"Can you give me your best? I can't hear you. Can you give me your best?" she asked a cheering crowd of kindergarteners through fourth-graders.
Third-grader Emily Pineva wants to start this school year on the right foot.
"I'm going to enjoy it and get a good night's sleep," she said.
To help students be successful, Costco in Goleta made a generous donation of more than 400 backpacks and supplies.
"I think it's really nice that Costco lets us have backpacks," said Joanna Neri, a third-grader at Adams Elementary.
"It's awesome!" said fourth-grader Carlos Napoles.
The bags come with supplies, which is helpful for some families.
"It levels the playing field so that all students have the same school supplies," Alzina said. "It really helps families out and also the students so they don't feel that pressure when they come to school."
"It's very exciting, and it's great to see their smiles, and they're so excited about going to school," said Costco Marketing Manager Sue Palaszweski.
"I love school," said second-grader Karla Flores as she clutched her new bag.
The backpacks cost around $15 each, including the supplies inside.
Back in the classrooms, teachers are gearing up for another year.
"We're all very excited, and I think the kids are, too. But I think I'm more excited than them," said teacher Andrew Martin.Slideshow: Students start off school year with free backpacks

I think it is sad that this generation of kids for the most part don't get a chance to learn about bees and some of the other simple, but complex critters out there. Being the mother of 3 I have to say that my children are nuts about our 4 hives. My 5 year old can talk someones ear off about how the hive works and how to put the equipment together. Both our boys will sit right next to the hive and watch the bees coming and going for sometimes 30 min. just chattering away about the bees. I have had friends that think my kids must constantly get stung, but they have not been so far! Most folks think of yellow jackets when I mention bees.
Thanks to all of you who are willing to go out and give 'bee' talks!

On June 30, 2009, the Indiana General Assembly enacted House Enrolled Act (HEA) 1001(ss)-2009, which, at Section 467 repeals both IC 6-1.1-18.5-11 and IC 6-1.1-19-4.1 effective July 1, 2009. Further, throughout the act, the duties of the Control Boards are removed effective July 1, 2009.
As such, all matters previously scheduled to appear before the Control Boards will now come directly to the Department of Local Government Finance. The commissioner is the approval authority for all projects.
Indiana's two Property Tax Control Boards were designed to allow expert review of construction projects and financial requests as part of the state's on-going effort to ensure fiscal responsibility. The School Property Tax Control Board and the Local Government Property Tax Control Board were comprised of experts in their fields of practice such as business, engineering, architecture and education.
Each board reviewed construction plans and met with local officials who sought approval for construction projects. After thorough review, the board made a recommendation to the commissioner of the department to approve, disapprove or modify the project.

Please tell me I am not alone?
Every week when I sit down to watch Once Upon a Time, I long for news of Pinocchio, aka August Booth, aka Eion Bailey, aka Kyle DuFours, aka Private Webster. I have never been one for men on motorcycles, but when he rode in on that fateful StoryBrooke day I swooned a little inside.
We last saw August in his bed at Granny's, turning to wood as Emma, in her new found belief, approached him for help in breaking the curse. We see him only once more after this, blinking after the curse has been broken. He has been hinted at several times in the second season. Geppetto searching for his son by putting up posters is finally told by Henry where the "boy" can be found. When Geppetto arrives, there is an empty bed. There was even an entire episode after this devoted to part of August's back story, when it is revealed that Emma had pulled a Bonnie and Clyde story before conceiving Henry. But what are we left with in current times?
An empty bed!
C'mon writers! I expected the episode after this to focus on the wooden man and his father, but no! After Gepetto's discovery in "We Are Both" we get "Lady of the Lake," an excellent continuation of several story lines but with no closure to the previous week's revelation. Is he in the shower? Has he left Storybrooke? Can he leave Storybrooke? Has he gone in search of Neal Cassidy? Was it August who sent the note via carrier dove?
There are still many unanswered questions in Once Upon a Time, many fairy tales to tap into. After this week's venture into the world of Dr. Frankenstein, confirming that we are not limited to fairy tales, Mulan's magic poppy dust certainly means that Oz will feature at some point. As far as Pinocchio goes, there are many avenues to explore in Collodi's original stories, narratives left untapped by Disney.
With all roads open ahead, and so many behind yet to continue, I'm eager for this one. What is your most passionate longing for Once Upon a Time?

MANUFACTURER: Leupold
Review This Item
Sleek design with daylight-capable illumination; the Leupold VX-R 3-9x40 Patrol Rifle Scope, Illuminated FireDot Tactical Milling Reticle, 30mm maintube (113771). The scope features with patented 1-button design which minimizes bulk, while allowing users to select between 8 intensity settings, including a low/high indicator. The readily available CR-2032 coin-cell battery produces remarkable runtimes, while the fiber optic light pipe eliminates the need for an eyepiece-based control module. Proprietary motion sensor automatically deactivates illumination after 5 minutes of inactivity, yet reactivates instantly as soon as any movement is detected.
Leupold's legendary Index Matched Lens System combines with edge-blackened lead free lenses for astonishing clarity and light transmission, while the extreme fast-focus eyepiece ensures optimal diopter adjustment in the field. The 30mm maintube and finger-click adjustments assure maximum adjustment precision, while the second generation waterproofing resists the effects of thermal shock much more efficiently than standard nitrogen.
Waterproof, shockproof, and backed by the Leupold Full Lifetime Guarantee, the Leupold Leupold VX-R 3-9x40 Patrol is the next generation in sporting optics.

Reviews of this property
We enjoyed staying in Elizabeth's apartment. It is very nice cosy and clean apartment. Well equiped, nice location. And the host Liz is a very nice and helpful person. I would highly recommend this apartment.
and thanks to Liz, we hope to come and stay more in future in your lovely apartment.
Really great apartment! Situated nicely at the edge of the old city centre of Edinburgh, so you can just step out the door and start enjoying the beautiful streets of the New Town. The apartment was in very good condition, with nice rooms and well-equiped kitchen. Indeed, it has everything one could wish for and, if needed, you can always call the landlady (Liz) who is very kind and always willing to help. Highly recommended!!
Ideally situated for the New Town, Princess Street and the main galleries and museums. This spotlessly clean apartment is equipped with every thing you could need for a short or longer stay. Food shops and good restaurants nearby..
We enjoyed in all time that we had in Edinburgh and Liz's apartment. The apartment had all amenities that we can need. Many thanks to Liz and Wimdu family….
We have spent 3 days in Edimburgh. Everything was perfect with Liz.
She gave us all the eases. We arrived late and she gave us the keys, and everything was perfect in the appartment. You have everything that you need and it is near to the city center.
If we go to Edimburgh again, we will repeat.
Thanks for everything Liz.
We spent lovely holidays in Edinburgh. Liz is a very kind host and her apartment is very pleasant and comfortable and not far from the city centre.
The apartment is very comfortable, tidy and quiet. As we went inside, we were absolutely delighted. Liz is a very friendly host, who will welcome you in her warm way.
It is only a 10-minute walk to the city centre, but bus stops are also close if you are too lazy. There´s a supermarket around the corner, which we found very useful, as we didn´t want to eat out every evening.
I´ll make it short: don´t hesitate, this is the place you want to stay in Edinburgh.
A very nice setting: the location is perfect (near to the centre, yet very quiet), a secure car park at the back of the building, the kitchen is well equipped, and everything is very clean and confortable.
Elizabeth has a huge, beautiful and very thoughtfully equipped apartment in a wonderful location. I was able to walk everywhere! I especially enjoyed her little electric fireplace in the living room. It made the room very cozy on cold winter nights.The living room is actually comfortable enough with the sleeper bed that it would make the apartment work as a two bedroom as well. Elizabeth is very kind and hospitable but also very respectful of her guests privacy. She is very willing to work with you if you have any problems, you just have to let you know!
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone

I mixed up the acraglas and applied it to the front lug and pillar. Then clamped it all together. Now it needs to cure for 48 hours.

I mixed up the acraglas and applied it to the front lug and pillar. Then clamped it all together. Now it needs to cure for 48 hours.
Bedding came out mint. Very tight fit now.
1) Receiver side (top) before bedding. You can see how big the front lug recess was and the elongated rear hole.
2) Top after bedding. Perfect fit on front lug recess and rear pillar bedded in place.
3) TG side (bottom) before.
4) Rear pillar bedded in place
5) Front TG hole. You can see how much larger the original hole was and how bedded hole is not even concentric to original.
This sucker is rock solid now.
This is the fixture I used to mount the scope rail.
There are hardened drill bushings that fit into the holes you see on the top of the fixture.
I used these to drill the stock for sling swivels.
They drill the pilot hole and face the stock square at the same time
I fashioned a bolt handle out of a 5/16" X 4" bolt.
Pics of it roughed out and ready to weld.
Firing pin assembly, ready to go into the bolt.
Left) Original Mauser firing pin, spring, bolt shroud with the military 3 position safety and cocking piece.
Right) Assembled unit with titanium FP, extra power spring and sporter style bolt shroud with no safety mechanism (which I moved to the trigger)
The FP/spring change makes a huge difference in the lock time on a mauser. The factory FP on these things is freakin heavy. Lock time is cut by over a third by going to the light weight pin and heavier spring.
This will give you an idea how big and heavy the Mauser firing pins are. Pin hell, these ought to be called firing rods. LOL
The titanium FPs cut the mass by over 50%
The barrel I'm using is a Shilen #5 contour. It's 22" long, has a 1 in 10 twist and comes short chambered.
Installing the barrel.
I clamped the barrel into the barrel vise using lead shims.
With the receiver set up in the receiver wrench, it's just a matter of torquing it down.
I installed the receiver into the stock, then added the bolt lock, scope rail, grip cap, recoil pad and swivels.
It's getting close now.

I wasn't old enough to really remember Herm play (I was 9 or 10 when he retired), but I do agree you can't necessarily point to a player's career as a negative about their analysis. However, I think you can look at their coaching credentials to a certain degree.
You should also drop the cult thing; it's just inflammatory and doesn't do anything positive for a discussion topic that is difficult enough already to keep civil.

Mourant Ozannes reported a solid year, with global turnover up by 5 per cent – and a standout year for its corporate practice, where revenues rose by 15 per cent.
Total staff numbers increased by 1 per cent, from 455 to 460, although fee-earners dropped by 2 per cent, from 234 to 229.
The firm added 11 lawyers, increasing its numbers by 6 per cent, from 177 to 188. It also added two to its all-equity partnership, resulting in no change to its partner-to-associate ratio of 1:2.5.
Mourant Ozannes made several senior lateral hires in the year. It picked up Farrer & Co's former senior partner Jim Edmondson as a consultant and head of its international trusts and private client practice, and Maples and Calder's Singapore head James Burch for its Cayman office. In Jersey the firm hired Ogier funds partner Tim Morgan, although it lost managing associate Matthew Shaxson to Ogier.
The firm says it is planning to invest heavily in talent and knowledge management this year, introducing a new career structure and looking at its reward and performance management systems.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - A convicted rapist who co-founded a Kansas talent agency after serving 20 years in prison is now accused of raping a 14-year-old girl he took to Tennessee to participate in a talent show.
Nashville police say 55-year-old Robert Lile repeatedly attacked the girl while threatening her with a knife before leaving her Sunday in a local hotel. Police say he was the girl's manager.
Lile was arrested Monday in Missouri. On Wednesday, he refused to be extradited, meaning Tennessee authorities will have to seek the governor's help.
He's being held on $500,000 cash-only bond.
Lile wasn't on the state or national sex offender list because his conviction pre-dated the law. While in prison, he unsuccessfully challenged Kansas' sex offender rehabilitation program before the U.S. Supreme Court in 2001.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Just watched the U-tube and took notes and then saw your post, so saved it to have to I can make one. Thank you so much, as I lived in TX for a long time love the star just as I still love TX.
Thanks for the tutorial. I've saved that one. Thanks again.
Love your quilt! Thank you for getting permission to share AND for providing the yardage measurements. That will make getting the material so much easier or even (gasp!) using some from my stash!
I have learned so much from the Missouri Star Quilt Company and recommend it to all new quilters. Jenny is so down home .
Thanks so much for sharing your yardage and instructions! I'm really excited because I have th 6.5" square, 5" charm square and the 2.5" strip cutter dies for my GO! This will be my frist 'real' GO! project since all I've done up until now is the tumbler block.
And thanks to Jenny too for giving her permission to post it! (I had already watched the video and saved it in my You-tube file!)
This can also be done with Charm Packs. Missouri Star has a pretty one today as their Daily Deal. It is Rustling Leaves by Cheryl Haybes for Benartex Fabrics for 99 cents!
I bought 4 layer cakes of Orchard House so I could duplicate Jenny's quilt. They have been calling me for weeks. I even cut the cream background 10" pieces a couple of weeks ago, so I can just start sewing. I'm making 2 King quilts. And I received a 401 Slant-O-Matic Singer for Christmas! Just waiting, I guess, on my 1/4" foot to come in the mail. Yea, that's my excuse!! But, after seeing your quilt, I might just use my Bernina and start sewing right away. Yours is very attractive!!

I made this quilt also. This one was for my granddaughter for Christmas. I did not put the sashing strip in but did snowball the corner blocks. Really easy quilt, I will make another!

Minutes after my parents arrived, Oscar put them through a small experiment. He was sitting on his bed and announced randomly, "McDonald's is not healthy for you."
Grandma and Grandpa shrugged and didn't give much of a reaction. That's all the data he needed. Hours later I overheard Oscar whispering to Grandpa, "Could you take us to McDonald's?"
It was a brilliant strategy.
I quickly realized that we had to take Oscar to McDonald's fast or else the entire trip would be consumed with, "Yeah Top of the Rock is cool-- but when are we going to McDonald's? Awesome, the Statue of Liberty! Is it lunch time yet? I really want to go to McDonald's, Grandpa! Having a great time on the boat! But let's go to McDonald's soon I'm so hungry. Ok, grandma?!"
We went yesterday to shut him up. Oscar ordered a Hamburger Happy Meal and a chocolate dipped ice cream cone. He savored each bite and hasn't stopped playing with the free toy since.
For me, going there only crushed my dreams of taking down the man. The place was packed with a wide range of costumers, from perfectly dressed business people to families to blue collar workers. We had to go all the way to the third floor to find a table. McDonald's has obviously been thriving without my dollar. The screen shot below of McDonald's stock value cracks me up. I don't know what it means exactly, but I can take a good guess.
Regardless, I'll never going back. If nothing else, I'm healthier for it. Plus, I haven't let go of my absurd dream that somehow I am making a difference by voting with my dollar. It's the optimist in me.
Is it also the optimist in me that thought my southern McChicken sandwich and fries tasted delicious? I hope not.
|July 9th, 2009 Oscar's big bite. I took this picture the day I stopped using high chairs. I was so excited.

I used to order the same thing everytime: chicken nuggets and yogurt parfait.

What was this about a "War on Women"?

What was this about a "War on Women"?
That's because women aren't as stupid as democrats want to believe.
Trap called it a while back. This election will probably be a landslide for the good guys.
Thanks, DARB.
I was referring to the undecideds that swung to Mitt just like
Dick Morris has been preaching all summer, plus the indies.
The 3 debates killed OBY. They just said so on TV. Also, the
Libya thing won't go away. FOX is the only major network hammering
OBY with it but everyone is waking up to it.
Mitt got the only bounce from the debates, as hi as 7 points in
Gallup and Rasmussen has him up by +5.
As for the women and the debates, Mitt pulled a masterful stroke
in the last debate by not hammering OBY on LIbya. That's
because he didn't want to appear to be the war monger OBY painted
him as. Women don't like that so Mitt moved on.
It's now paying off. MItt was tied yesterday with the women
and now is ahead by the above link. OBY blew another big lead.
Mitt also kept focus on the economy which is #1 issue with women and everyone.
All OBY can do is run a slimy campaign and people are sick of it.
It's like the man who asked OBY in the second debate.
He said what are you doing for us every day. OBY couldn't answer because he's done nothing. He has no record to stand on.
So he said I killed Osama Ben Laden. That's what I did for the American people.
He scored a lot of points for Mitt.
This Benghazi thing just might make the election an absolute landslide. It now appears the Seals asked to go help twice and were denied. They finally ignored the orders to not help fellow US citizens and went and got 30 people out, then fought on for 7 hours while continued pleas for help went ignored.
This was US soil being attacked and US citizens killed, and pleas for help that was an hour away (very deadly aircraft) was never sent.
John 15:13 "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends."
Those seals are heroes.
Romney I think is the only candidate I can remember that got a bounce despite being seen as losing 2 of the 3 debates. His numbers improved after each debate.
I am starting to smell landslide as well here.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2
Speaking of the Seals, a father of one of the deceased asked on TV,
Mr. President, why didn't you save my son? That was in reference to the requests for help. We could have scrambled help from
BTW, that was the third attack on that embassy so calls for
beefed up security met with no response.
I think there were only 11 guys defending the embassy - all but
the 4 seals were Libyans, I think.
They held off a force of over twice its size for over 11 hours before
they fell. They still got the ambassador out of the compound and
into another annex. He was still alive but medics couldn't save him.
He died of smoke suffocation.
And it wasn't a mob attack as OBY lied on the first day in the
Rose Garden. As the car carrying the ambassador turned to go
down a street it was ambused from both sides of the street. The
terrorists anticipated that move and had it blocked off.
This was a well planed and orchestrated terrorist attack.
Thing is, the car was bullet proof and took all the hits and made
it to the annex but it was too little and too late for the ambassador.

Hi I've been assembling my first two hives when I noticed a few things
I don't have a lot of tools besides my hammer, a carpenter square and nails- does it matter if the box isn't perfectly 90 degree angles so that it perfectly sits on top of another? I'm noticing very slight deviations between the boxes when I sit them on top of each other. I was thinking it wouldn't matter anyway once it gets propolis on it.
Also, I'm surprised I'd never heard any discussion on this but I just noticed my plastic foundation doesn't completely cover the inside of my frames- there's a vertical space gap on the side. I figured that this is on purpose to act as a communication hole. How do you align your gap? I was wondering if I should alternate the gaps with every frame or keep the gap on the same side for each.
