The question asked at that time was, "How are we going to plan our cities and towns? Shall we use the present metropolitan system, foUowing the present loca¬ tion of th9 cities or the plans of {M*ivate individuals or the Metro¬ politan Planning ConHnistoH?" Then a new method was sug¬ gested, using a SOIL INFORXL\- TION as a guide as to which was the best for agriculture, urban dc- veloiMnent, industry, etc. McH-^nry County had just had their Eoi! maps published, showing difTerent soil* in the county with different colors indicating where the gravel, lay, what land was apt to flood which was the richest land for femtilig etc. Therefore it was suggest©)! that "We become guiepa pigs ior the entire United States aa to^ow to plan cities according to soil conditions.

Longing to Breathe Free
Original post made by Tom Cushing, Danville, on Jun 26, 2012
Somebody might better have chosen a "salad bowl" descriptor with compatible ingredients that retain some part of their flavors, but both approaches fail to convey the hostility with which each identifiable group of new Americans has been greeted -- at least since the Massachusetts tribes made the mistake of hosting Thanksgiving.
Newcomers have had to shoulder their way toward the mainstream, overcoming blatant and subtle obstacles erected by those who happened to come before them. On one level, that seems odd in a country settled in significant measure by those who couldn't get along in their native lands; but on another plane not-so-much, as folks who have struggled mightily to carve their niche may be disinclined to share it.
This has been a significant month for immigration policy. First, President Obama announced a new enforcement approach by Executive Order, which incorporates much of the unrealized Dream Act. By its provisions, persons now under 30, who were brought here illegally as minors, who have graduated high school and stayed out of trouble with the law will be issued work permits -- thus paving the way for their addition to the salad. And just this week, the Supreme Court delivered a split decision on the AZ law that sought to facilitate state-level enforcement of federal immigration statutes.
The Justices struck down parts of the AZ law that are "preempted by the feds" meaning there's no room for any concurrent state jurisdiction over the subject, but upheld the "reasonable suspicion" provision that allows the police to demand papers from those they "reasonably believe" may be here illegally.
Now, as to the Executive Order, the President characterized it as the right thing to do. I agree, although I'd add that it's "doing well by doing good," it may have locked-up the Hispanic vote for the Dems, as Mr. Romney's ham-handed non-response won him no friends he didn't already have (the more I see of him in "action," the more I have a sneaking suspicion that he is incapable of independent analytical thought, and his handlers hadn't yet told him what he thinks). I see no justice in punishing young people in those circumstances.
The ˜reasonable suspicion" situation, however, gives me great pause. If it means arresting some guy in a dashiki who's hanging around the airport with a Stinger missile, then by all means do so. I fear, however, that in keeping with our history, this will be an invitation now to be copied by other states to profile drivers by their apparent ethnicity. I have heard enough stories from people I trust about the perceived offense of "driving while black" to be concerned about how enforcement will proceed.
More broadly, I have never been overly concerned about economic illegals -- those who have come north seeking opportunity (a flow which has slowed to a crawl as those opportunities have become fewer in this lousy economy). They contribute important labor and significant tax and fee revenue, and bear the personal rigors of situations in which the law is not there to defend them. I understand there are health system effects, but unless/until we otherwise get that chaos in order, I just don't care. There may also be some free education provided, but that's just not the kind of issue that sets my blood to boil.
I am hopeful for a pragmatic eventual resolution that is long on realities, and short on ideology. The illegals I fear are those who come to spread the Mexican drug trade/wars northward, and others who mean to do us harm as a society. It's also my hope that most of the federal and state resources directed at the problem will go after those types.
Until that time, "Give me your tired, your poor" is a noble expression of aspiration, but a misstatement of actual American history, and present policy.

Tom: I read last week the cover story in Time Magazine, about the illegal alien who came to the U.S. with his parents when he was young, went to college, got a driver's license(by providing false information), obtained a very good job as a journalist(again by providing false information), and by all accounts is a hardworking, tax paying, good guy, and living the "American dream".
Of course, most people have complete empathy for young children who come here illegally with their parents, as they have no control over this issue.
However, there are some issue that the journalist writing the article in Time Magazine, never addressed, and I do not believe President Obama has really addressed either:
What do you tell that guy who played by the rules, filled out the forms honestly and correctly, paid all the necessary fees and expenses(which are not cheap), and waited until he was lawfully given permission to come to the U.S. and work? Why did he jump through all those hoops, pay those fees, fill out those forms, if he could have simply come here illegally?
Also, what affect does this have on others who are using illegal driver's licenses? Is the criminal statute on falsing using a driver's license suddenly null and void? Isn't that selective enforcement of a law, again, discriminatory by nature? So, the actual U.S. Citizen who falsely uses a driver's license has legal defenses and less legal rights than the illegal alien who uses a false driver's license?
Tom, isn't this creating a slippery slope, when you suddenly start ignoring enforcement of laws for some over others? Is that what American has become, a country where people are treated differently under the law, due to their race, national origin? What are your thoughts on these issues, Tom?
If we are going to have certain "amnesties" given to certain people, isn't that by it's own nature, a discriminatory practice, arbitrary and capricious, and subject to change at any moment(particulary when someone like President Obama decides to do it right before an election)?
Although I have complete empathy for the young children brought here illegally, I think we are doing severe damage to jurisprudence and justice with this selective enforcement of laws.

A co-worker of mine recently went through the rigors of attaining US Citizenship. He was rightfully proud and ecstatically happy. Great guy, great family. He shared with many of us the questions on his tests and there were those who fared not well in answering the questions. That is, many of our own US Citizens would not breeze through the process, many perhaps most would fail. Although the president's citizenship has been questioned, as a teacher of Constitutional Law at Harvard, he would no doubt have an easy time of it. A member of the tea party, highly doubtful. Like to see Mitt, Jan Brewer, Sarah Palin, and the other GOP folks take a cold swing at it. Might be interesting, might be laughable.

Hi American:
Here are my thoughts, for what they may be worth:
1 -- what do you say to the guy who played by the rules? I think you say: "Welcome, citizen." Not to be flip (which is Mr. Romney's job), but that person's situation is just different from the kid brought here illegally by her folks, and he's not damaged by the break she appropriately gets. I think you also seriously underestimate the problems associated with getting here and staying here illegally. It's not a great choice for the non-desperate -- as we are seeing by the ebbing flow over our southern border.
2 -- as to the slippery slope, I think there's a line with Principle on one end, and Pragmatism on the other. Principle is an excellent thing -- the rule-of-law provides predictability and a sense of justice and equal protection to the system. Most of the time, we ought to decide things on Principle (and we do). Occasionally, however, as when a problem that has been allowed to fester for generations finally gets addressed, we just ought to acknowledge that Principle must give way to the realities of the situation in service to a workable solution for the future.
If you do that too often, Then I think you risk slipping down the slope -- but here the economy depends in important ways on this labor, there's no workable solution that's long on Principle, and these circumstances really are exceptional. I think the Truth and Reconciliation process in South Africa was another example -- some bad folks got away with murder, literally, but the country moved ahead and away from apartheid quickly and effectively.
I think reasonable minds can differ as to when adherence to Principle becomes the "foolish consistency" hobgoblin, but I'm pretty comfortable that an exception as to immigration won't bring down the Republic.

Tom: No disrespect, but I think you response was "flip", because you really do not want to address the real problems that arise from this selective enforcement of the law.
The U.S. is a law and order nation, where the rule of law is what keeps our Constitution afloat.
You and President Obama are seeking to destroy the rule of law, in order to reach a conclusion you favor. Again, I have complete empathy for the young child brought here illegally, he had no control over the situation. But the rule of law, and our Constitution, must take priority, over empathy for the young illegal child.
The guy who played by the rules, followed the law, filled out the forms, paid the fees, and came when he was legally allowed to come, has been discriminated against and treated unfairly and his due process rights have been violated by our President's actions.
I think a similiar analogy would be the guy who wants to take his son to a movie. He waits in line, follows the rules, pays the admission fee, and when allowed he takes his son to the movie. Compare that to the guy who sneaks in the back door of the movie theatre, did not wait in line, did not pay the admission fee, and came in illegally. Surely, you do not blame the boy, who had no control over coming in illegally. But when found by the usher, or immigration, the boy and his father are removed from the theatre, as it would be unfair and a violation of the rule of law to those who played by the rules and paid the fee and came when legally allowed.
Furthermore, assume you are the public defender, and you have two clients charged with illegally using a false driver's license. One of your clients is an illegal alien, and one is a U.S. citizen. Under President Obama's order, you can get the illegal alien off from criminal proceedings, but not the U.S. citizen. The U.S. citizen actually has less rights now than the illegal alien. The U.S. citizen is being discriminated against due to his national origin.
The rule of law is being destroyed, and no matter how much empathy you have for the young illegal alien, keeping our Constitution afloat must take priority over empathy.

As usual, I think Emerson gets it right:
"A foolish Consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen, philosophers, and divines. With [such] consistency, a great soul simply has nothing to do."
In other words, there comes a point when adherence to a rule is slavish, and does more harm than good. I think there's room to exercise judgment to make exceptions to rules (or change them if only the GOP would play ball of any kind). The trick is to have the discipline and judgment to limit those situations, and not allow the exception to swallow the rule.
I just think this is one of those situations. I do take some offense at being accused of thereby destroying the Constitution. I daresay I love it more than most -- and certainly more than the guy who called it "just a damn' piece of paper."

Oh the little devil on my shoulder is screaming at me. I'm a Sig fanboy and I hate Glocks. I figure full disclosure is only fair.
Now first we need to know what is it's intended use?
In general, I'd lay it out like this.
Both Sig and Glock have a huge following. Glocks are cheaper and Sigs are more expensive. Both enjoy a good reputation, but I think Sig edges out Glock there. I've owned just about every Sig model out there and love them all.
I'd easily say buy the P220, but in reality you need to rent/borrow each one and shoot them. How do they feel in your hand? How well do you shoot them? Which one do YOU like best as you handle them.
The P220 is considered the Cadillac of .45's in some circles. The Glock IMHO is just a tool.
I have however seen a guy shoot a great series of stages in IPSC competition with a Glock.
Would you buy a car without a test drive?

I've been reluctant to watch Lost for the longest time because of some bad things I heard from friends but I'm glad I finally gave it a shot.
You don't have to update the thread. We've all seen it. Come back when you're done the series and we can talk thoughts.
I'd like to see his reactions to certain parts of the series
'm currently doing a rewatch right now, and debated bringing the idea to the board of doing a VERY heavily scaled down version of the espisode threads we used to have on here when it was live (man those were fun).
Every now and then I get aggravated with Michael and Walt
I've never gotten this line of thinking. I feel like the people who watched it live and live and died with every scene got WAY too caught up in tiny, minute, trivial little details that don't matter one iota. Some people want every..single..thing to have some explanation or backstory, that simply isn't feasible. I think all the BIG questions did get answered for the most part. They may not have been answered to everyone's liking, or even in a way that made sense, but I think most questions were answered that actually needed to answered. And before you ask "well then how do you explain THIS!?", I don't remember near enough about the show as I used to and would defer to OML who does, and also this is a thread for a new watcher so we don't need spoilers here.
The details were not as important as the big picture
laughing because you're halfway through season one
forget about everything currently on TV and just watch this every night

chocolate chip cookies
Hi! Is there any creative recipe for left over chocolate chip cookies? Since we don't have kids at home,no one will consume all the left over cookies. I've just kept them in the fridge and up until now,don't know what to do with them.

Er, never had that sort of problem in my house: we tend to just eat them!!!
Cheesecake base, is a good idea.
Alternatively, give them a bit of a bashing to break them up, and serve with ice cream and some sliced up orange, for a very quick and easy desert.

haha.. and I thought NY had problems
haha.. and I thought NY had problems
The cap situation isn't nearly as bad as it seems. Yes, some players are due big money, but Dallas can easily get under the cap. I wouldn't expect any releases... except a maybe a few minor pieces.
Carr's contract in particular has a built-in trigger that can free up up to 10.5 million for the next year alone. Restructuring Ware, Witten and Austin would also free up another 11 million, and then of course the releases and extending Romo to restructure his deal as well.
They'll extend Romo in order to keep Spencer and let a few unimportant guys go. Kevin Ogletree is probably on the chopping block with the emergence of Dwayne Harris. Dan Connor is probably gone due to his lack of success in a 4-3.
So, no you can't have Sean Lee or Bruce Carter!
My brother-in-law is a Cowboys fan as well. He was asking me what I thought about or heard about Dion Jordan from Oregon. I told him that he night have to put on some weight/muscle to play DE in a 4-3 defense. I dont know if he would flourish as a Sam Or Will in Kiffin's Tampa 2. And if I recall, I think Jordan has an injury that needs surgery, but he put it off till after the combine.
I told my brother-in-law that the Boys may go after Richardson at DT or 1 of the top safeties in the 1st rd. And he would agree with you Ntegrase96, regarding Harris emerging and Ogletree being expendable.
Anytime you have to restructure contracts [including those signed just a year prior], I don't consider that as easily getting under the cap.
Basically if Dallas needs to create enough room to retain players that are worth it they will... Ratliff is probably the only one that may have some value (IMO) whose days may be numbered. But with the cap expected to not rise very much in coming years, I wouldn't expect them to go overboard with the restructures since they'll need to re-sign guys like Lee, Carter, Claiborne and Smith.
Richardson would be nice. I think it's definitely a possibility and I'd be happy with the pick if he falls that far, but I think the offensive line is hurting too greatly to pass up on Cooper if he's there. Ideally for me, Dallas would be able to land Richardson and a guy like Warford or Barrett Jones in the 2nd round.
I think they may be too high on Matt Johnson (who has yet to play, but was retained) to go after a safety before they address the DL and OL.
Im not saying Richardson will be the next Sapp, but having a player like him at the 3 tech in the Tampa 2 would benefit greatly. You have Lee and Carter at backer, so know you look at the backend. Claiborne will probably continue to develop and become one of the top tier CBs in the league, but having that safety will be on their to do list in the coming season or 2. I have a slight curiousity on how well the Cowboys defense will play once they get all of the pieces in place.
Edit: Im not sure where, but I believe I saw a mock that had the Cowboys taking Kenny Vaccaro, safety from Texas in the 1st rd. And yet another mock, not sure which one, had the Cowboys taking Bacarri Rambo in the 3rd rd.

We really enjoyed Vinice and our stay in this appartment made our expereince even better. Modern Appartment with all amenities. Grocery store and all restraurants were within 2 minutes walk. Strongly recommend this appartment.
J'ai communiqué avec 10 personnes pour louer un seul appartement.
Certaines de ces personnes ne connaissaient pas l'appartement, confondaient le nom de l'appartement avec un autre appartement.
Certaines de ces personnes donnaient des informations contradictoires.
Le site WIMDU ne contacte pas les hôtes, il ne connait pas ni appartements, ni les problèmes, ni les hôtes.
le site WINDU m'a demandé de communiquer avec une personne de FAVILLE TOURS qui ne travaille plus avec eux !
I communicated with 10 persons to rent a single apartment.
Some of these persons did not know the apartment, confused the name of the apartment with another apartment. Some of these persons gave contradictory informations.
The site WIMDU does not contact the hosts, it does not know either apartments, neither the problems, nor the hosts.
The site WINDU asked me to communicate with a person of FAVILLE TOURS who does not work any more with them !
Très bel appartement rénové au calme avec tout l'équipement nécessaire
Situé à quelques minutes à pied de la place Saint Marc dans un quartier calme et sympa(bar, resto, petits commerces)
Petit bémol : climatisé mais seulement dans la pièce principale.
L'adresse peut porter à confusion: la ruelle Corte Nuova donne sur Via Giuseppe Garibaldi
Very nice apartment for a big family with good spaces and many beds. The apartment is located in the heart of Venice, near everything. Can definetly recommend this flat to big groups who would like to stay in Venice.
We loved Venice, but sadly the accommodation let the holiday down a little, wasn't terrible, but for the money and the lovely photos didn't live up to our expectations. Was far to small and ants everywhere, probably won't book with Wimbu again, sorry.
The apartment was beautifully decorated and with good facilities. Location was also as expected with a small courtyard at the back. Very good arrangements on arrival so we were accompanied to the apartment (addresses not much good in Venice unless you know where to go!) and told where the nearest supermarket was. Local restaurants and cafes have a really "local" ambience even though you are only 10 minutes walk from Rialto. Winter was fabulous-glorious blue skies every day-and plenty of bustle. New Year exciting in St Mark's Square- we wonder how we'll ever top this for 2014 !!! Heartily recommend !
Very nice apartment. Couldn't log in into the wifi, but everything was fine.
The apartment was just as described and matched the pictures. It was close enough to all the tourist hot spots without having that crowded feeling. The famous fish market and Rialto bridge are all within a 5 minute walk. I would definitely book again with this host.
Recommend without hesitation, a wonderful apartment in quiet residential location, away from tourist hussle yet only 10 mins walk from station and 5 mins from boats. Close to shops and restaurants. Spacious, modern, excellent value for money. Also has small courtyard. Very helpful host.
We were 5 architects visiting venice for the architecture Biennale. The appartment was next to Arsenale, and it was even more great than it apears in the advertisment photos.
Realy clean, nice, good location, cheap.

text: We had a warm day so the girls were flying. In front of the hive was a bunch ~100 bees that were sitting on the grass. This is occurring in front of both hives. Now that night is here I checked again and they are still there. They don't show signs of DWV ie they have normal wings. I don't think they are drones. This is the first warm day in a couple of weeks. Is this normal or is there a problem I should look for in the hive? The bees on the ground will freeze tonight and they are not going back in.

I'm just going to rank Still, Worthy and Reyes because we presumably have no shot at Cox, Brockers and Poe.
1.) Still- By far the most productive of the three (55 tackles, 17.5 for loss), with very good length (6'5) to get in the passing lanes He's also very disruptive in the opponents backfield shooting the gaps with a quick burst off the snap.
2.) Worthy- His production doesn't show it, but Worthy also has a great burst off the snap enabling him to either shoot the gap or bull rush his man in to the backfield. Has a very wide build and low center of gravity giving him the ability to hold his position at the point of attack while facing double teams making him an optimal run stuffer and because of that I think he would be the best fit for the Giants. Him and Joseph would be an excellent combination as 2-down run stoppers.
3.) Reyes- Despite great combine numbers, I don't see the same type of quick burst off the line as the other two possess therefore getting him stone walled at the line of scrimmage far too often. IMO not worthy of a 1st round pick and personally I wouldn't even consider him till the 3rd.

Natural gas prices are poised for a third straight quarter of gains as U.S. power plants erode a supply glut by switching from coal at an unprecedented pace.
Gas may reach $4 per million British thermal units for the first time since September 2011 as winter heating demand picks up after mild weather a year ago, according to Mizuho Securities USA Inc., Bank of America Corp. and Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co. Prices have jumped 8.7 percent to $3.488 since July as electricity generators used record amounts of the fuel.
Gas may exceed $4 "in periods of temporary tightness," Sabine Schels, a commodity strategist at Bank of America in London, wrote in an Oct. 8 report.
The gas market "rebalanced quickly this summer, reducing the glut caused by overproduction and depressed winter demand. Stocks have built below the seasonal norm, alleviating concerns about storage containment," she wrote.
Natural gas may reach $5 per million Btu in the first half of 2013 on elevated demand and improved economics, said Hussein Allidina, head of commodities research at Morgan Stanley, in a note to clients today.
This isn't good for industries that use NG as a source of power...
It's still stupid cheap. It's a big net gain for America.
This isn't good for industries that use NG as a source of power...
Could end up saving a few companies that were looking down the barrel of the gun as the end of the year approaches.
Thank goodness. I found out last week that this Monday is the last day I can bill for (oil & gas landman), so I need some companies to start leasing/drilling again so they can put me to work!
Been wishing I had some extra cash laying around to lay on Chesapeake, guess I will miss out on that.

You've had a lot of good suggestions ... and not knowing all the variables of your situation, it's hard for us to know how to zero in on your solution.
I sew in a finished basement with cement floors. I do have carpet around my sewing area ... a nuisance for pins and thread, though warmer underfoot, and some padding when standing at the ironing board. Compromise!
For the heat rises, cold drops issue ... I turn the fan of my furnace on before I go downstairs and that helps to get the air moving, so I get more use of the heat!
If you can, position yourself near where the duct work brings the heat to you. If not, consider some renos to the ductwork to make it work better for you.
And I always keep a fleece vest handy to put on/off as needed!
When it comes to summer ... you'll love the coolness of your basement and will discover it's the BEST way to beat our Ontario heat and humidity! I get a lot of sewing done when it's just too hot to exist ... and as I go up the stairs, the wall of heat hits me!!

The University of Colorado Boulder has pledged to double the number of CU-Boulder students who participate in an international educational experience by 2020.
The commitment, which will be implemented by CU-Boulder's Study Abroad Programs office, is part of the Generation Study Abroad pledge launched today by the Institute of International Education (IIE). The goal nationally is to achieve a study abroad total of 600,000 U.S. participants by the end of the decade.
CU-Boulder sent 1,330 students overseas during the 2011-12 school year -- more than any other higher education institution in Colorado -- according to IIE's most recent annual report.
"An increasingly important part of college is participation in global experiences," said Larry Bell, executive director of CU-Boulder's Office of International Education. "It enhances international collaboration and innovation while preparing future leaders to the benefit of CU-Boulder students, the community, the state and beyond. We're proud to join colleges and universities across the country who share our international values, and help increase participation on a national scale."
More than 150 higher education institutions from 41 U.S. states have signed the Generation Study Abroad commitment. CU-Boulder and Fort Lewis College in Durango currently are the only Colorado signatories.
To help meet the national goal, CU-Boulder pledges to: increase program access to traditionally underrepresented students; support academic units across campus as they develop their own initiatives; engage students early in their academic careers; and increase the visibility of international education opportunities including study abroad programs, international service-learning, internships and research, according to the Study Abroad Programs office.
CU-Boulder offers a large variety of study abroad programs and destinations for students of all academic fields.
"The definition of study abroad is expanding and now includes a number of international experiences that take place outside the classroom," said Mary Dando, director of study abroad. "These include internships, research, field experiences, work abroad and service learning. The Office of International Education supports all such initiatives for our students."
CU-Boulder has held the No. 1 spot in Colorado for sending and receiving international students for nine out of the past 10 years, according to CU-Boulder's Office of International Education.
In his 2009 State of the Campus address, CU-Boulder Chancellor Philip P. DiStefano laid out a goal to increase the number of study abroad students to half the undergraduate population as part of the Flagship 2030 plan.

Jadaelyn Jackson, 6, hugs his mother after being reunited with his family after a four-hour ordeal on Monday. Jackson, a Brentwood Elementary kindergartner, went missing around 3:45 p.m. when he boarded the wrong bus after school. He was later at a local day care. (Rick Hickman / American Press)

A Brentwood Elementary kindergartner is safe after a four-hour ordeal on Monday.
Jadaelyn Jackson, 6, was reported missing around 3:45 p.m. when he failed to return home.
He was found about four hours later at a local day care after boarding the wrong bus.
Calcasieu Parish Sheriff Tony Mancuso said Jackson was never in danger and was at the day care the whole time.
"We are just really excited; the biggest thing is that he's safe," said Brentwood Principal Brent Washington. "We have to do our investigation to see what happened and from there we'll make whatever necessary changes to make sure this doesn't happen again."
The search began when Jackson's older sister reported that he did not get on the bus with her. Authorities said Jackson was not seen on video boarding either of the two buses he would have normally taken.
"We got a call from a day care center that comes to pick up the children that go there and he got on (that) bus," said assistant superintendent Gary Anderson. "They were supposed to have a new student and thought that the little boy was the student. All we're worried about is getting him safe and we'll work out all the details."
Mancuso said an Amber Alert was issued and bus drivers were asked to retrace their routes. Authorities also did a check of sex offenders within a two-mile radius of the school.
"I'm excited because he's safe," said Brentwood secretary and bookkeeper Courtney Edwards. "We've been out there door-to-door in the rain and it just hurt us when we came back and didn't have anything. We are just blessed he's back and that he's safe with his parents."

This is ridiculous and unforgivable. Its not the first time it has happened at Brentwood elementary. I know two people that have gone through this with that school. Something must be done.

I would think the main concern should be ensuring the safe return of the child!

UW-La Crosse Eagle family helps injured soldier
LA CROSSE, Wis. - Next weekend, the La Crosse community and especially those at UW-L will rally around one of their own, a true American hero.
UW-La Crosse graduate and Second Army Lieutenant Jason Church was badly injured last year in Afghanistan. Now, his former teammates on the UW-L football team are working to make sure "no eagle is left behind."
From almost the moment Jason Church stepped on the football field at UW-La Crosse, he was making an impression on those around him. "Even as a freshman, he was kind of a leader to a lot of people, because he was an 18 year old he was one of the strongest, hard working guys on the team," said former teammate Nate Ward.
Ward was his teammate and roommate freshman year. "Just touched a lot of people with his work ethic, time management and his leadership skills in general," said Ward.
But Football wasn't Jason's only passion during his college years, he wanted to be part of another team as well. "I was born on a military base so for me, it was definitely a great influence in my life I think it taught me values at a young age that would eventually lead me to going into the military myself," said Jason Church.
Church was part of the ROTC program at UW-L for all four years of college, and was then put on the fast-track. "I had gone from graduating college to being in Afghanistan in under a year," said Church.18181160
But just a few short months into his deployment, "there was a loud explosion," said Church. He was leading a platoon through an abandoned village, "right next to the wall, the IED went off." His world went black in an instant. "I don't remember the first few seconds, I don't know how long I was knocked out for or dazed, I remember coming to, you see the white light and come and realize, one, I'm not dead and two I looked and my legs were obviously gone at that point."
The blast blew off both of Jason's legs below the knee. "The real thing that I'll always remember is how one of my medics responded to the incident. He came up to me, saw right away obviously I was missing both legs and that he applied tourniquets up here (points to legs) and I really think saved my life."
The news spread quickly to Jason's friends back at UW-L. "I was speechless, we heard it actually on the football field. I just had to walk away a little bit, I just couldn't do anything really for the entire day because we didn't know the severity of the situation. We didn't know that he had lost his legs below the knee, we just knew he was in extreme condition, almost on the side of death," said Ward.
Since the accident, Jason has made remarkable progress in his recovery. He's undergone at least 18 surgeries and is rehabbing at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. "I'm a man of faith and I believe this is a way God can use me to inspire other people," said Church.
And inspire is just what he is doing. In November, Jason was presented the Purple Heart by his father during a very emotional ceremony at half-time of the UW-L football game. Church says, "I just kind of lost it there. It was kinda tough there on the PA system." "He has so many people that he's touched here being a part of the football team and obviously in division three, you become brothers with your teammates so a lot of the alumni as soon as they heard, they wanted to first make sure he was OK and then once they figured that out, what we could do for him to raise money to support his family through his recovery and down the road of course," said Ward.
Several of Jason's former teammates are planning a benefit in his honor. They're calling it "No Eagle Left Behind." Ward says, "if you play on the football team here at UW-La Crosse, you'll always have a brother, no matter what happens to you so that's why we wanted to put that name in there without a doubt."
And while Jason is the one benefiting from the generosity of others right now, he hopes others can learn from him about the value of life. "There is no limitation on what you can do, I'd at least like to be an example that I'm a bilateral amputee, but I've been able to do this, I've been able to overcome this, this is just a hurdle in my life so when hurdles come up in your life, you're able to jump over them too," said Church.
The benefit for Jason Church is set for Saturday, January 26th at the Mitchell Hall Field House on the UW-La Crosse campus. Doors open at 3:00 p.m. Tickets are $10 and include a dinner and entry into a special cash drawing.
There will also be a silent and live auction with a lot of really great prizes, including autographed jersey's and footballs from NFL players, restaurant gift cards and golf packages.
The guest speaker is a member of a the 2012 Wheelchair Olympics rugby team.

Free day out for all the family... new-look Fort Nelson is unveiled - Thursday, 11 August 2011
The Royal Armouries unveils its state-of-the-art new museum at Fort Nelson on Saturday (August 6) – home to the big guns.
In just under a year, this unique Victorian Fort has undergone a £3.5m redevelopment to create a museum fit for the 21st Century, supported by a grant of over £2m from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF).
The Fort, on Portsdown Hill, near Fareham, has been open throughout the construction phase but now the waiting is over and the new facilities are officially launched.
Admission and parking are free – offering a great day out for all the family during the school holidays, and all year round.
Highlights include:
- A breathtaking new glass-sided gallery – The Voice of the Guns – showcasing some of the Royal Armouries' most famous exhibits.
- Exciting new galleries, telling the history of the fort and the people and stories that shaped history.
- State-of-the-art education centre – allowing children to see the past spring to life in a historic setting, but harnessing the latest technology.
- Brand new visitor centre – including Café 1871, which is open to passers-by and walkers.
The Royal Armouries – Britain's oldest museum – believes the major investment in Fort Nelson will attract tens of thousands of visitors every year – boosting tourism and the local economy generally. Museum entry is free, ensuring the national collection is accessible to all.
Director General and Master of the Royal Armouries Lieutenant-General Jonathon Riley said, "This is a proud and historic week, even by Fort Nelson's standards. We are delighted to unveil this contemporary new museum, which still blends in perfectly with a traditional Victorian fort. I am sure it will entertain and educate hundreds of thousands of visitors for decades to come. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all our partners and sponsors – in particular, the Heritage Lottery Fund and Hampshire County Council, without whom none of this would have happened."
Stuart McLeod, Head of the Heritage Lottery Fund in the South East, said, "Fort Nelson's new state-of-the-art galleries are a fitting home for its comprehensive artillery collection, enabling the story of Portsmouth's role in both World Wars to be told properly for the first time. The Heritage Lottery Fund is proud to have supported this ambitious project which will help bring an important part of our military and social history alive for a 21st- century audience."
Leader of Hampshire County Council, Councillor Ken Thornber, added, "Hampshire County Council is delighted it has been able to work with the Royal Armouries to help transform Fort Nelson and ensure the county continues to be a great place to visit. It will undoubtedly help further develop Hampshire's £2.4bn tourist economy."
The building project to transform Fort Nelson started last August, when construction company Mansell were awarded the contract to build the new gallery and visitor centre.
With glass sides and high ceilings, the new Voice of the Guns gallery has guaranteed "wow factor" and showcases 14 of the most famous exhibits, including two sections of the infamous Iraqi Super Gun, two anti-aircraft guns used to defend the South Coast, and the Great Turkish Bombard dating to 1464.
There are also social history galleries, exciting new interactives, and a 19-acre fort to explore – plus all the old favourites such as underground tunnels and ramparts with panoramic views over Portsmouth and the Meon Valley.
Built in the 1860s, the Portsdown Hill Fort is home to the national collection of artillery and historic cannon, with over 350 exhibits from all over the globe. The museum's new galleries tell the fascinating stories of the objects, their history and the people who used them.
The collection originated at HM Tower of London and has been on display in Hampshire since 1995.

7-16-13. Ocala, FL- The Bubba Army Late Models will take their shot at the 3/8 mile as will the Scorpion Racing Products UMP DirtCar Modifieds, E-Mods, 1-800-ASK GARY Thunder Stocks, and the Rent-N-Roll Gladiators this Saturday night.
Rich Pratt still has a stranglehold on the Late Model points standings with a 35-point advantage over two-time winner Mark Whitener. "The Magic Man" sits another twenty-two up on Tyler Clem, the young driver that continues to impress at just ten years old. Jeff Mathews is up to fourth over good friend Kyle Bronson. Bronson won our season opener and has been as high as third in the Nesmith Touring Championship standings. Who will strike next in the Late Model division?
Charlie O'Neill is using consistency to stay ahead in the UMP Modified division, but his gap is down to three markers over Jeff Mathews. Mathews finally lost his streak of wins last time out, but he still leads the division in wins. Scott Kurtzner is only twenty-eight behind O'Neill, and Bryan Bernhardt- the Modified rookie- is only three behind Kurtzner in the tightest championship battle in recent history in the UMP Modifieds. Rich Pratt rounds out the top five.
Shane Nichols, the driver that won the first four features in E-Mod history, still holds his slim fifteen point lead over Shane Taylor. As the Shanes battle up front, Shawn Taylor- Shane Taylor's brother- sits in third just seventeen behind his brother. Charlie Howard, Jr. is fourth at exactly 100 out, and Roy Crain rounds out the top five.
William Gillam is once more the championship leader, even if just by four points over Brandon Elwood. Elwood, however, has two wins to Gillam's one on the campaign. Melvin Fockler is up to third in the title chase in his first full championship run, and Tony Campbell sits fourth in the standings. Brandon Tillander rounds out the top five as he puts his efforts towards the title.
Stephen Frankland is the Gladiator points leader as he has won more features than the rest of the pack combined. Bill Southard is second, but he's slowly being caught by Tom Sheehan for that position. Sheehan sits within twenty of Southard and the battle is on for the position. Josh Fincher once led the championship, but he's slipped down to fourth, only twenty-three clear of rookie Tyler Bryden. It's going to get wild throughout this pack.
Racing is scheduled for 7 with pits opening at 4 and grandstands opening at 5. For more info, please visit www.bubbaracewaypark.com or call us at 352-622-9400!

I know they are a less then stellar news org, but whats up?
Any truth to the story?
What story? You didn't post a link or subject.
"Courage is being scared to death - and saddling up anyway." - The Duke
'Sons of Guns' Stars -- Punished By the Feds for MAJOR Firearms Violations | TMZ.comThe star of the Discovery reality show "Sons of Guns" has been forced to surrender his Federal Firearm License after government officials discovered a bunch of his weapons had mysteriously gone missing ... TMZ has learned.
The man caught in the crosshairs is a famous gunsmith named William Hayden -- who founded Red Jacket Firearms in Baton Rouge Louisiana ... and hired his daughter Stephanie to help run the business.
Things went swimmingly until 2009 ... when the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms conducted a routine inspection of RJF and discovered 10 guns registered to the company could not be accounted for
I was going to say, just google TMZ Sons of Guns.
The whole first page is loaded with the article.
IMHO nothing more than internet rumor, but if it true how ironic, someone else we are all familiar can't account for tens of hundreds of guns and hasn't lost his license or job.
this thread and/ or rumor is all over subguns ( Tom Bowers site) Subguns.com NFA Firearms Discussion Board - Message Index
I have no comment either way, but since Will is a member here he can shed some light!
Sprat and sprat1 are one and the same.
At some point in 2010 or 2011, and upon information and belief, Hayden (either alone or with other members of Red Jacket, Inc.) fraudulently transferred all assets, interest and goodwill out of Red Jacket, Inc. and into Red Jacket Firearms, L.L.C.
Last edited by bubbazan68; 12-24-2011 at 04:16 PM.
I posted this as short as possible to let Hayden reply.
As a fan, Iam interested in his side.
Don't let this burn & fester. None of this got posted till Will posted on his facebook page that he'd be gone for a week to Arkansas where he'd have no internet or cell phone reception. Pretty fishy to me.

Set up attack lab !
If one is really serious about being a decent hacker, it is imperative that they create their own attack lab. Personally, I like to actually have several computers with different operating systems on them, all networked together to one central server. This feels better to me than VMware. The question is usually asked concerning how one can set this up without spending a ton of money. Just the operating systems alone can be costly if you are playing around with Server 2003, SQL,etc.. The answer is to get a Microsoft Action Pack subscription. For around $300 for the first year they will ship you an amazing amount of software including Server 2003, XP pro, SQL server 2000, Small Business server 2003, etc... I did this and have been very happy.

Executive Power: An Overview
In its first three articles, the U.S. Constitution outlines the branches of the U.S. Government, the powers that they contain and the limitations to which they must adhere. Article II outlines the duties of the Executive Branch.
The President of the United States is elected to a four-year term by electors from every state and the District of Columbia. The electors make up the Electoral College, which is comprised of 538 electors, equal to the number of Representatives and Senators that currently make up Congress. The citizens of each state vote for slates of electors who then vote for the president on the prescribed day, selected by Congress.
In order to become president, a person must be a natural born citizen of the United States. Naturalized citizens are ineligible, as are persons under the age of 35. In the case that the president should be unable to perform his duties, be it by death or illness, the vice-president becomes the president. Amendment XXII placed a two-term limit on the presidential office.
The president:
- is the Commander in Chief of the armed forces. He or she has the power to call into service the state units of the National Guard, and in times of emergency may be given the power by Congress to manage national security or the economy.
- has the power make treaties with Senate approval. He or she can also receive ambassadors and work with leaders of other nations.
- is responsible for nominating the heads of governmental departments, which the Senate must then approve. In addition, the president nominates judges to federal courts and justices to the United States Supreme Court.
- can issue executive orders, which have the force of law but do not have to be approved by congress.
- can issue pardons for federal offenses.
- can convene Congress for special sessions.
- can veto legislation approved by Congress. However, the veto is limited. It is not a line-item veto, meaning that he or she cannot veto only specific parts of legislation, and it can be overridden by a two-thirds vote by Congress.
- delivers a State of the Union address annually to a joint session of Congress.
War Powers
Congress holds the power to declare war. As a result, the president cannot declare war without their approval. However, as the Commander in Chief of the armed forces, many presidents have sent troops to battle without an official war declaration (ex. Vietnam, Korea). The 1973 War Powers Act attempted to define when and how the president could send troops to battle by adding strict time frames for reporting to Congress after sending troops to war, in addition to other measures.
The president is responsible for nominating candidates for the head positions of government offices. A president will nominate cabinet officials and secretaries at the beginning of his or her presidency and will fill vacancies as necessary. In addition, the president is responsible for nominating Federal Circuit Court judges and Supreme Court justices and choosing the chief justice. These nominations must be confirmed by the Senate.
Executive Orders
In times of emergency, the president can override congress and issue executive orders with almost limitless power. Abraham Lincoln used an executive order in order to fight the Civil War, Woodrow Wilson issued one in order to arm the United States just before it entered World War I, and Franklin Roosevelt approved Japanese internment camps during World War II with an executive order. Many other executive orders are on file and could be enacted at any time.
The U.S. Constitution gives the president almost limitless power to grant pardons to those convicted of federal crimes. While the president cannot pardon someone impeached by Congress, he or she can pardon anyone else without any Congressional involvement.

The essential difference between Occupy Wall Street and street protests a generation ago is that the latter were for human rights and peace, whereas the motive of the former is mainly economic. Given that history can repeat itself as farce and tragedy, here are some recollections of the high points of the American protests.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Globally very satisfied with the apartment.
The main bedroom is located on the side of a heavy trafic street (carrer d'arago) so if you're sensitive to noise, take earplugs and it will be fine.
Also, just make sure to call at 13h00 if you want to check in at 14h00.
For the rest, it was perfect. Nice welcome, and the flat is very well located, with two bath rooms, well equpped kitchen, and close to every famous sites of Barcelona.
Definitely not the experience that you want to make at your stay in Barcelona...
After arriving in Barcelona the check-in in our apartement was planned at 2pm, i already tried to call the agency in the morning but couldn't reach someone and they didn't ring back. We (group of 3 people) decided at 12 pm to get close to our apartement ( to be ready when they allowed us to check-in. After calling them again at 1pm they stated that they are very sorry but they cant give us the apartement without telling us a valid reason.. They now proposed a other apartement with a less good location (the original booked apartement was in the gothic district and the new proposal close to placa de catalunya). But we didn't have another choice and finally we could move in this alternative apartement at 5:30 pm (!!!) which already destroyed all our plans for the day. Due to our late check in and all the complications, we asked for late check out 2pm as a bit of compensation for all this hassle. Again, they promised to check if it is possible and wanted to call us back or sending a mail - never ever got something. And as expected, on check out day nothing was arranged, cleaning stuff went into the apartement and it took us an additional hour of discussing and arguing to do the check out 1,5 hours later. We understand that sometimes plans can change, especially when you rent apartements, but then it needs to be proper and proactiv communicated. We had the impression that they absolutely did not care about us.
We were in a group of 5 people in the apartment and it had the ideal size.
The handover went smoothly and also to the shuttle was booked to place us point.
The apartment was very clean, everything in the kitchen was there and the terrace was really nice with a view of the tops of the Sagrada. The Metro station was not far away and the nearest bakery / cafe 'and small supermarket just around the corner.
A great stay :)
Wir waren in einer Gruppe von 5 Leuten in dem Appartement und dafür hatte es die ideale Größe.
Die Übergabe hat reibungslos geklappt und auch der dazu gebuchte Shuttle war an Ort uns Stelle.
Die Wohnung war sehr sauber, in der Küche war alles da und die Terrasse war super schön mit einem Blick auf die Spitzen der Sagrada. Die Metrostation war nicht weit weg und der nächste Bäcker/ Cafe´ und kleine Supermarkt sind direkt um die Ecke.
Ein toller Aufenthalt :)
Superagradable! It was like being in our own house.A very special trip on a highly recommendable place. We have been my sisters, my mother and my baby to celebrate the 70th birthday of our mother. We decided to get together in Barcelona all because 2 living in Granada, one in France and another in Madrid. The availability of this terrace was wonderful. The rooms, dry cleaning service, kitchen, bathrooms perfect. All super clean and nice. Return with their eyes closed.
Very nice host.
Superagradable! Ha sido como estar en nuestra propia casa.Un viaje muy especial en un lugar totalmente recomendable. Hemos estado mis hermanas, mi madre y yo con mi bebé para celebrar el 70 cumpleaños de nuestra madre. Decidimos juntarnos en Barcelona todas ya que 2 viven en Granada, una en Francia y otras en Madrid. Poder disponer de esa terraza ha sido una maravilla. Las habitaciones , el saón, cocina, baños perfectos. Todo superlimpio y bonito. Volveríamos con los ojos cerrados.
El anfitrión muy agradable.
The apartment is very well located and with a very good supply.
Thank you very much!
El apartamento está muy bien ubicado y con una muy buena dotación.
Muchas gracias!
Apartment was lovely. Terrace beautiful.Lovely spa bath and shower and apartment nicely decorated. The only drawback was that the bedrooms did not have windows opening to outside-just to utility area. This meant it was stuffy and dark.Also it would have been good if there had been some basics such as dishwasher tablets and washing powder as annoying having to buy everything for a 4 night stay.
Stay: 23-04.26.2015
Super WE in Barca with the perfect accommodation for people who really wolen participate in life. Prima accessible öffentlchen Verkehsrmitteln from the airport.
The apartment is perfectly cut for a couple and a bedroom facing the courtyard is also night's sleep despite central city location guarantees.
Handover by Wimdu worked out fine. A clear case for the recommendation.
We love to come back and say thank you again.
LG from the Baltic coast Sabine and Bernd :-)
Aufenthalt: 23.-26.04.2015

LG von der Ostseeküste Sabine und Bernd :-)
Just everything was fine, clarified the situation and misunderstood everything was great. Thank you very much to Maria Stay Barcelona Apartment for its management and professionalism to solve the unexpected.
Simplemente todo fue bien, aclarada la situación y el mal entendido todo fue genial. Muchas gracias a Maria de Stay Barcelona Apartment por su gestión y su profesionalidad al resolver los imprevistos.
The apartment itself is just amazing. It is just a 15 min walk from Catalunya where you can access the airport shuttle very easily. The metro station is just a 5 min walk from the apartment. I really appreciate the hospitality and the warmth we received from the host when we arrived. They were very helpful and patient in answering all our questions and helped us get acquainted to the place. We really felt at home. The national museum of Catalunya and the magical fountain is at a walkable distance. Many restaurants and supermarkets are available in the vicinity. It was worth the stay. More utensils in the kitchen might have helped additionally..
Overall, it was a very good experience.
The apartment is nice and is very well located
It lacks a bit of crockery for 6 people ....
I highly recommend it for a family or a stay with friends
Please note the room with the bathroom is next road so there was some noise ...
Excellent stay
A remake
L appartement est sympa et est très bien situé
Il manque un peu de vaisselle pour 6 personnes....
Je le conseille vivement pour une famille ou un séjour entre amis
Attention la chambre avec la salle de bain est coté route donc il y a un peu de bruit...
Excellent séjour
A refaire

Story highlights
- Snowboarder and journalist Jean Lee checks in at N. Korea's new luxury ski resort
- Masik, which opened on January 1, has 11 ski runs and a 120-room hotel
- Resort "built for locals" -- foreigners may come with tour groups
North Korea has no athletes at the Sochi Olympic Games, and skiing is not the first thing that springs to mind when thinking about the isolated nation.
That's why tour operators are billing North Korea's luxury new Masik Pass as "the most exotic ski resort on Earth."
Located in Kangwon province, the hotel and resort -- the only one of its kind in the country -- opened January 1 after a series of reported setbacks.
Earlier this year, CNN Travel reported on the experience of one of the first visitors to the resort, Simon Cockerell, from Beijing-based Koryo Tours.
More recently we spoke to another visitor, snowboarding journalist Jean Lee, whose video of her Masik trip is shown above.
Surprised by the caliber of the equipment at the resort, Lee also notes that she got to chat to ordinary North Koreans -- because her government minders couldn't ski.
Pyongyang made a failed bid to co-host the Summer Olympics when Seoul held the games in 1988.
Who knows?
Maybe Masik signals North Korea's intent to try again when its southern neighbor hosts the winter games in 2018.
What follows is an edited version of our story on Simon Cockerell's visit to Masik earlier this year. Koryo Tours is one of the few foreign tour companies operating in North Korea.
'Fancy and comfortable'
Cockerell found Masik Pass to be "fancy and comfortable."
Along with 11 ski runs, there are 120 hotel rooms housed in two buildings, a swimming pool, bars, cafés, billiard tables, a karaoke room, a steam room and a dry sauna.
Local tour guides speak English but don't tend to ski; for the large number of ski instructors, you'd need a translator.
The resort is "clearly built for locals," Cockerell said, although it was expected to draw some foreigners coming with tour operators such as his own.
"The number of local Korean skiers was a surprise, considering that [before Masik opened] there was just one ski slope in the country -- and in a very remote and hard to reach area," Cockerell said.
At the time of writing, foreigners couldn't book at Masik Pass directly but would have to come with a group tour.
Controversial construction
"We're aware of the controversies surrounding [Masik]," wrote Cockerell on the Koryo Tours blog.
"It's a highly expensive construction project that many see as economically doubtful."
The resort has been scrutinized abroad from conception to construction.
Austrian and French companies declined to sell ski lifts to North Korea.
Even the neutral Swiss refused, calling Masik a "propaganda project," according to the Washington Post.
Masik's ski lifts were made in China.

[quote user="SFranciscan"]If Manning has a bad day or leaves early, I think it is pretty much lights-out for the Giants and Smith or Willis are certainly a threat to make that happen.* Ask the Rams' quarterback.* While I think Manning is likely going to play all game, if someone is going to knock him on his back and give him a concussion this year, it would be us (or the Ravens).
1) Comparing the Giants pass protection to the Rams pass protection is absolutely asisnine.
2) Smith and Willis already had that chance and got nowhere near Manning.
3) It's amazing how fans brag about any player on their team being able to knock anyone out anytime (concussion-wise) after one freak knockout to the Saint's running back.last game.

The 9er fans are showing up on the Giants' boards. Is this nervouness or confidence???? I really cannot tell. But since you are here. . . . .How is Alex Smith's injury????? I heard it was his throwing hand.
How do the stinkin Jets get a home game vs the 9ers? NFL shoulda sent their butts to SF, no pun intended..and have them play us at Met-life. This is the 3rd time in 2 seasons we gotta play in their house.
We finally got NO at home after playing in the dome against them like the last 3 meetings.
Another 9ers fan here. Good luck to your team Sunday. After reading some comments I had to register and find out what forum you guys are reading and seeing our so called fans? The only official forum is at 49ers.com Not 49ers Fan zone of whatever it's called.
Well I am a man of my word... I have come to say congrats on absolutely working us over in every way!!! Y'all had our number that's for sure! I will not hang my head down though, the Giants aren't the defending champs for no reason. I guess we will meet again in the post season (that's if my team doesn't freakin' implode!!!). Well done Giants/Giants fans!
