That's too bad. Because I'd say you got some good suggestions out of it.
No need to get sharp about it.
In fact, until someone comes out swinging, making wild accusations and bizzare, unintelligble rhetoric, (like Straight) every comment on here has had something interesting to say, and a good majority of it was fleshing out a good foundation on which to build a conversation.
Might want to just take the reigns, understand there is only so far it ca ngo, and not get too down on those guys who were trying to help you.

NFL reportedly expanding playoff field; league says 'no such decision' reached yet
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said during the league's fall meetings that expanding the playoff field is a priority. Though he set 2015 as the earliest date for implementing those changes, it appears that Goodell has kept the issue on the front burner.
SI's Andrew Perloff tweeted Monday, via Dan Patrick on The Dan Patrick Show, that "the NFL will add a wild card team in both conferences."
Should that occur, 14 of the league's 32 teams would qualify for the postseason -- seven in each conference. Goodell also said during his October remarks that such a change would lead to three games per conference on wild-card weekend (currently, there are two), presumably with the No. 1 overall seeds receiving byes. From there, No. 2 would host No. 7, No. 3 would host No. 6, and No. 4 would host No. 5; the divisional round then would pare down to four teams per conference, as it does now.
MORE COVERAGE: Wild-card Snaps | Divisional round preview | Schedule, results
However, a league spokesman, via SI's Richard Deitsch, said that "there's been no such decision.
"It would require a vote of the clubs and it has not yet been taken up with them. If it's taken up this year, it would happen at the annual meeting in March. The agenda for the meeting has not been formulated."
That's less a denial than a postponement of the discussion. Goodell pointed out that the competition committee would handle the change at those annual meetings. Last year, the committee shot down a similar plan.
But expect Goodell to try again.
"If expanding the postseason would allow other teams to get into the dance, and they have the potential of going on and winning the Super Bowl, that's a good thing for fans, that a good thing competitively," he said at the fall meetings.
According to NFL.com, a seven-team-per-conference format would not be enacted until at least 2015 due to scheduling issues. Had that format been in place this season, Pittsburgh and Arizona would have qualified for the playoffs in the AFC and NFC, respectively. The Steelers finished with an 8-8 record and were nipped at the wire by San Diego; the Cardinals missed out on the postseason despite finishing 10-6 -- a record that topped NFC North champion Green Bay's 8-7-1 mark and matched that of 10-6 NFC East champ Philadelphia.

Date of Stay: October, 2013
We stayed here on both ways to our trip to Lk Placid, NY. Easy on/off freeway, and friendly staff. Escort to site, clean, concrete patios, and plenty of space for RV.
Date of Stay: October, 2013
Stoney's is a great fish camp, or an RV camp with a lot of color. The Salmon run justifies the high rate, and you can get a guide who will almost guarantee you a good catch. That said, for the non-fishing customer, this may not be the place for you. Roads are rough, there are many dilapidated RVs on site, and the fish smell is prevalent. We loved it and hope to return to fish.
Date of Stay: June, 2013
We enjoyed our stay here for its proximity to Maryville and to the Smokies. The parking is a bit of a walk to the office and camp store. Friendly staff. Nice walks by the river. We would stay here again.
Date of Stay: June, 2013
We enjoyed staying here. Site plenty large and used only one block to level the trailer. The staff were friendly and helpful, laundry room clean, and camp store very adequate. But no alcohol for sale. It is a 10 minute drive to town. We would stay here again.
Date of Stay: November, 2012
Yes, the staff are friendly and helpful. The store is good, hot food available, beer and wine except on Sunday (dry county). Our only complaints were the very poor cable reception (even in their office), and very poor cell phone reception (Verizon, which usually works when others don't). Also, it is hard to keep the trailer floor clean when it rains. We won't stay here again.
Date of Stay: February, 2012
We have stayed at 3 RV parks within Tallahassee over the last 6 years, and this one is by far the nicest one. It is right off the Interstate (1/2 mile) at the eastern side of town, with paved roads and level sites. The landscaping is pretty, and the grounds are kept up consistently. Sites are gravel. There are 2 restrooms with showers, always clean, near the office area. We enjoy the proximity to Publix across the road. It is the first park we choose when visiting family in the city. Our stays are usually 4-5 days.
Date of Stay: February, 2012
Price reflects Golden Pass discount. The sites are sandy and level. Most of the bigger trees were blown down by Hurricane Ivan a few years ago. So, no foliage separation of sites. The fort is closely by hike,bike, or car. It is well worth the price of admission, as they say. At our visit, it was very windy. The Bay and Gulf beaches are a short walk away. restrooms were rustic, clean (with wet, sandy floors). We will return.
Date of Stay: February, 2012
Very friendly and helpful managers. Easy to access off I-75. The restrooms/showers were older, but pristine. Sites are grass, mostly level (we did choose to place wheel blocks under one side). This campground is only about 10 minutes from the very cute little downtown of High Springs. We enjoyed our stay there with another couple for 4 days. Will return.
Date of Stay: October, 2011
A very pretty park, friendly staff. We stayed overnight, and found it to be easy to access, level sites. We have no complaints, and would stay there again.
Date of Stay: October, 2011
We enjoyed our 5-night stay. The owners, Marla and Kevin, are very friendly, knowledgeable, and like the rest of New Orleans, laid-back. The grounds and pool/gazebo area are nicely tended, landscaped. They will drive you to the French Quarter for $5 each, each way. Which is good, because major taxi companies will not pick up from that address. Yes, it is in a marginal area of East New Orleans. The park is gated after dark, and we never had any reason to feel unsafe. It was a very comfortable, homey kind of place. If you want to see New Orleans, it will give you a very hospitable place to stay without paying an arm and a leg.
Date of Stay: October, 2011
$35 must be what the market will bear. The location is great, just off I-10 on Capitol Circle west of town. The park is at least 40 years old. The owners and staff are very friendly and helpful. There are many sites for overnight camping, all pullthrough, grass, full hookups, and level. There are many long motorhomes here now. The perimeter with shade is for long-term campers. The place was clean, tidy. We felt safe here. Not a "destination" park, but great for staying while visiting the city.
Date of Stay: June, 2011
We have stayed here many times visiting family in Tallahassee. The staff are friendly. Highway construction has been going on forever; but it's really not that big a deal. The Publix is across the street, Walmart down the road. This is on Capitol Circle east of town, and just off I-10, so easy access to everything. The grounds are well-kept, pool clean. The restrooms/showers number only 2, are small, but clean. We enjoy staying there.
Date of Stay: June, 2010
We love this park which is only about 1/2 hour from DC. It is in a very well-kept city park of many acres of woods, with playgrounds, nice-sized swimming pool/ water park. There are no water or sewer hookups, but potable water is available on the way in. There are many big rigs here in pull-through sites. The bathhouses are close by and clean. We would recommend this to anyone wanting to access the DC area conveniently. Shopping is a block away.
Date of Stay: June, 2010
This campground is a bit dismal. The A/C did not work for us, tho we did have full h/u. Staff is not very friendly, but not rude. It is at least an hour from DC. Laundry in the bathhouse along with bathrooms and shower (coed) need sprucing up. However, the price was right (plus VAT tax).
Date of Stay: January, 2010
We stayed here a week while in Tallahassee. It is the only park within the city, and is convenient to everything within 5-15 minutes. This is not a good park for you if you are not self-contained. There is one bathroom for each gender, so you may have to wait a while (the shower is also in the bathroom). No paper towels, so bring your own towel. There are many permanent or semi-permanent residents here; but the park is clean, very quiet, and the staff are friendly. We would stay here again.

You are here: Home » Motorway Database » M20
This is what the M2 always wanted to be, the main road from London to the Channel Ports, and one of the principal radial routes from the capital. So why is the important-sounding M2 still just a bypass, and the M20 the main road?
It dates back to the 1950s when direction signs pointing to the continent had a special white-on-green colour scheme (standing out from the otherwise entirely back-on-white signs). These were used for traffic heading to the Channel Ports and also Harwich in Essex. In Kent, even then, the green signs were sending port traffic down the A20, avoiding the Medway Towns.
Over time, more of the A20 was bypassed and the fragments joined to become the M20. Even so, the Department of Transport saw no reason to finish the route, and the section between Maidstone and Ashford was missing for many years.
In the early 1990s it was realised that most people coming through the Channel Tunnel would be driving off (certainly at this side, where the onward rail link has only just been finished to much fanfare). The answer was to connect up the bits and form the M20 we know and love today. The M2 was left as a short bypass while the M20 was extended and upgraded by the good fortune of being the road to Folkestone.
The M20 now runs from London all the way to Folkestone, with an extension of motorway-standard A20 to Dover. It's a very stereotypical motorway too, with three lanes all the way to Folkestone through rolling green fields and not a lot else happening. Beware the newest 1990s sections for their noisy concrete surface.

[caption id="attachment_7421" align="aligncenter" width="500"] Soldiers at the Pat Tillman Memorial Center in Bagram, Afghanistan, enjoy field-expedient Soda Cupcakes during the USO birthday celebration in February, 2012.[/caption]
Cupcakes have become the Hollywood starlet of sugary snacks.
From "D.C. Cupcake," to "Cupcake Wars," to the scores of mom-and-pop shops springing up on every hipster city block, there's no question cupcakes have put the "in" in "binge."
If it's hip and it's Hollywood, you know the USO has to get our fingers in it.
On Sunday, July 1, Food Network's reality program "Cupcake Wars" will be "Saluting the USO" at 8 p.m. EST as competitors battle for sweet supremacy with a shot at having their confections featured during last October's USO Gala in Washington, D.C.
And in the spirit of competition, we at USO Arlington found a way to have a little cupcake war of our own.
While supporting the men and women of the U.S. Military, there's often little time and few supplies with which to make a batch of cupcakes at our USO Centers. So what do we do? We adapt, overcome and improvise, of course! We find ways to bake field expedient cupcakes!
Cathe Ganley—Duty Manager at USO Bagram—developed a method for making cupcakes in the microwave with only cake mix and a soda. Now that's creative!
Other USO Centers stateside have developed a microwavable method of their own using classic ingredients like flour, eggs, milk, and sugar.
Yesterday we pit the two recipes against each other in a Field-Expedient Cupcake Battle Royale.
Who was the winner? I'm not telling.
Instead, I'm going to give you the directions and ingredients to make both cakes in your own microwave and let you be the judge. Invite some friends over to watch "Cupcake Wars" Sunday night and whip these quick snacks together to feed your guests. Then tell us what you think!
After they beg you for the recipe, you can let them know they are eating battle-tested 5-minute recipes enjoyed every day by the men and women protecting their freedom.
Soda Cupcake
1 Box of "Yellow" Cake Mix 1 Can of Sprite** 10 ten-ounce paper cups (or Dixie Cups)
**Substitute root beer for Sprite when making chocolate cupcakes.
Directions: In a large bowl, mix entire box of cake mix with the full can of Sprite. Fill 10 oz cups 1/3 of the way full with batter, then microwave three at a time for three minutes. Adjust cooking time and batter consistency as necessary to compensate for altitude.
1 Coffee Mug 4 Tbs Flour 4 Tbs Sugar 2 Tbs Cocoa 1 Egg 3 Tbs Milk 3 Tbs Oil 3 Tbs Chocolate Chips Splash of Vanilla Extract
Directions: Mix dry ingredients well in coffee mug then stir in the remaining ingredients. Mix well then microwave on high for three minutes. Don't be alarmed. The cake will rise at least two inches over the top of the mug while cooking. As soon as it is done, however, it will retract back inside the mug. – By Joseph Andrew Lee, USO Staff Writer

A team of scientists in Britain is championing the cancer-fighting properties of Ecstasy, the touchy-feely party drug that makes you feel great whether or not it's punching holes in your brain.
Researchers say the drug could be turned into a treatment for certain blood cancers, including leukemia and lymphoma, if its cancer-fighting properties were enhanced and its lethal potential diminished.
One of the commenters on the article linked below made an interesting point regarding MDMA's dangers, which might offset its medicinal value: "I just love this reference to 'safe' drugs. ALL cancer drugs are far from safe, they are actually extremely dangerous and/or poisonous with nasty side effects."
Tell us what you think in our own comments section below this post. —PZS
The Telegraph:
Researchers from Birmingham University claimed the designer drug, also known as MDMA, could be used to treat leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma after making it 100 times more effective at suppressing growth.
Ecstasy was already known to be effective against more than half of white blood cell cancers, but previously the large dose required to treat a tumour would also have killed the patient.

Industrial growth in Kerala: Trends and explanations
The study traces the trends in industrial growth against the backdrop of the overall economic growth in Kerala under the influence of the ongoing economic reforms and evaluates it against the performance of Karnataka, Tamilnadu and all-India. The analysis reveals that a phase of growth revival has set in the overall economy since the late eighties. Though the manufacturing industry has improved its growth performance over time, the growth rates recorded during the nineties are not higher than the corresponding figures for the eighties. The relatively low growth profile of the manufacturing industry, when the general economy is growing remarkably well, appears a riddle of the recent growth trends under the reform process in Kerala. It is argued that inadequate growth of investment has constrained the pace of modernisation of old units and establishment of new units based on `state-of-art' technology needed for the survival and growth of industries in a globally competitive environment. The study suggests that the lack of a clear and pragmatic approach of the state in its response to the reform process and a positive attitude in its own policies for encouraging private investment makes Kerala a less investor friendly location for manufacturing industry. It underlines the need for a new vision and strategy, which could fully utilise Kerala's comparative advantage in human resources, and place greater emphasis on developing knowledge-based and service industries, for accelerating the growth of income and employment in industry.

Can Peyton beat Packers' blitz?
Updated: September 24, 2004, 11:58 AM ETBy Ron Jaworski | ESPN Insider
The Jacksonville Jaguars are 2-0 even though their offense ranks dead last in the NFL at 200.5 yards per game and has scored just 20 points. How much of the offense's lack of production falls on the shoulders of second-year QB Byron Leftwich? We'll take a look.
Also, Green Bay blitzed the Panthers mercilessly and won, then blitzed the Bears even harder and lost. What does that signal for this weekend's matchup with Peyton Manning and the Colts?
Leftwich can't do it alone
Byron Leftwich obviously is a very talented passer who can make all the throws. But I believe he needs to work on a quicker release. The staff has been addressing his release and will do things to improve it. From his Marshall days to now, he's gotten better, but he still needs improvement.

There's something rather James Bond about the way the SkyPoint Climb on the Gold Coast was built. Unique engineering equipment was needed while building the tourist attraction on top of the towering Q1 apartment building, and smartphones were part of the solution.
Roofsafe Industrial Safety, which was contracted to build the SkyPoint Climb, designed a software program that was accessible on laptops or smartphones. Called Syncron, it enabled the construction team of rope-swinging riggers to complete complicated engineering tasks while suspended in the air.
"You can talk to the engineer while you're reviewing the diagrams while you're swinging 270 metres in the air," says Robert Sheedy, a project manager with RIS.
"A lot of construction sites have a site office where you can review plans, but that was way too difficult on our SkyPoint Climb project where we were 270 metres up in the air and weren't afforded the usual convenience of a scaffolding."
The company decided smartphones and tablets were the answer, allowing them to review plans wirelessly in real time. Their high-resolution screens allowed workers to view complicated instructions on how to put a piece of equipment into position, with engineers based in Sydney guiding them through the process.
The instructions included diagrams, videos and three-dimensional drawings.
The SkyPoint Climb, built by Ardent Leisure, is Australia's highest tourist climb and won the new tourism development award at the 2012 Queensland Tourism Awards.
The software complements RIS's traditional business offering, which involves supplying physical safety equipment such as scaffolding, harnesses and handrails, as well as OHS guidelines.
Sheedy says the software could help save lives, but the most important factor was still the team's attitude to safety.
"It will contribute to saving lives, but people save lives, not software," he says.

Following an impressive dismantling of tough titleholder Antonio DeMarco, it's been of the usual told-you-so manner exuded from Adrien Broner, who many have touted as the next pound for pound king. Quite often, when fighters talk about themselves in the third person, you are left wondering if they are interviewing Sybil and her split personalities. But in mentioning his own name in the post-fight interviews, it appears that Adrien Broner simply shares the same inclinations as anyone else in the boxing world at the moment, which is to talk about Adrien Broner! Credit: Will Hart - HBO For those who see him as the heir-apparent to the pound for pound no. 1 status, it's also in essence acknowledging the reality that the current kings of the ring plateaued a while back and are starting to wane in their dominance.

Just Bought a M Tech II Rear wit pdc holes but i dont have pdc?
what should i do:help:
Buy pdc reps
I take it you can't return it so bondo
what are pdc holes?
the four holes on the front of a m tech II rear. I see them on your black trim. How do i cover them?
didnt the bumper come with the plastic little circles that go over the pdc sensors... i would just keep it on even if you dont have pdc, its not a big unless you dont like how it looks.
no it didnt... is it suppose to?? anyone ordered a m tech II that came with covers?
did you paint it yet?
if nott i agree with born again... bondo!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86rB6YHFaZw just an example
I'd return it, clean uncluttered lines of no pdc sensors looks much better (imho)
If you can't return it for one w/out then either have them fill the holes prior to painting or get plugs for it and paint. Unless of course you plan on adding pdc to your car..
anyone else have this problem? What plugs should i get?

Start Your Engines: Developing Driving and Racing Games is a unique book that will teach readers everything they need to set up different types of road conditions, create opponents, set up road hazards, generate weather conditions, manage collisions, and much more. Not only will readers end up with the knowledge and tools they need to create driving and racing games, they get a full-featured, playable racing game that they can expand and customize with the skills learned in the book. The book shows readers how to develop live-action, interactive racing games with a unique three-tiered approach. Readers will start off by learning how to build a model for a racing game and then apply the physics to create a simple 2D (flat) game while learning how to create a variety of vehicles, race opponents, and terrain. In tier two, readers learn how to go from 2D to 3D with the same game concepts illustrating how to take the same basic idea for a game (and gameplay) and use modeling tips and tricks to begin customizing features. In the final tier, the author takes the concepts of 3D driving games to Mars with data modeled from real Mars terrain. Readers will create a dune buggy race on the planet of Mars and learn to create cool racing action at a bizarre and treacherous location.

The BJP on Thursday accused Haryana Janhit Congress chief Kuldeep Bishnoi of acting as the B-team of chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda and announced that it will fight the Haryana assembly elections on its own.
BJP spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain mocked Bishnoi's "delusion" of becoming Haryana's chief minister and derided him as "a general without an army". People of Haryana, he said, had decided to elect a BJP government.
"The BJP will fight the elections on its own... and will form the government after getting the people's mandate," he said at a press conference soon after Bishnoi's announcement of severing ties with the BJP.
In this year's Lok Sabha elections, the BJP had contested on eight seats in Haryana, while the HJC fought the remaining two seats. The BJP had won seven seats, but the HJC drew a blank.
It had been a shaky alliance since then as the BJP wanted to give fewer seats to the HJC in the upcoming assembly polls than what was decided earlier.
"We wanted him (Bishnoi) to understand the ground realities. Any understanding is rooted in the facts on the ground. He had six MLAs and all of them, except him, joined the Congress. We have never betrayed any ally," Hussain said.
Hussain said relations between the two parties had soured during the Lok Sabha polls itself when the BJP rejected Bishnoi's proposal to field Venod Sharma, a former close aide of Hooda who had left the Congress.
The BJP also turned down the proposal to make Bishnoi's controversial elder brother Chandra Mohan alias Chand Mohammad as an alliance candidate.
"He (Bishnoi) did not even have candidates for two Lok Sabha seats. Where would he get people to fight the assembly polls? And he has a delusion of becoming the chief minister," the BJP spokesperson said.

The Nation Thunderstorms dropped nearly 5 inches of rain over Mississippi, causing flash floods today that hampered firefighters and chased at least 500 people from homes that "have never taken water before," officials said. Meanwhile, snow and strong northerly winds created "near blizzard" conditions in the Upper Midwest and pushed temperatures below freezing from the Rockies to northern Minnesota. People were forced to scramble for higher ground in Jackson, Miss., where about 5 inches of rain — 4 inches in a little more than an hour — sent floodwater swirling waist deep into some neighborhoods, authorities said. Police said they received at least IOO calls requesting help for evacuations soon after the storm which began Wednesday and tapered off about midnight. City spokesman Brad Carter estimated that 500 people fled their homes and that 150 houses and businesses were flooded early today. The flooding affected hundreds of houses "that have never taken water before," police spokesman Brad Carter said. Horoscope BY STELLA WILDER THURSDAY.

In a late night 12-page order, the capital market regulator also barred Saradha Realty India and its Managing Director Sudipto Sen from the securities markets till the time it winds up all its Collective Investment Schemes (CIS) and refunds the entire money to investors.
Investors and agents of various investment schemes launched by Saradha group in West Bengal have been protesting for many past days.
Meanwhile, Sen was arrested today in J&K. Sebi said it would initiate proceedings against Saradha Realty and its directors if the company fails to wind up its CIS schemes and refund the investors.
The regulator also warned of launching a criminal case for "fraud, cheating, criminal breach of trust and misappropriation of public funds" and initiation of winding up of the entire company through a reference to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, if its orders are not complied within three months.
Sources said investigations are on by Sebi against some other entities of Saradha group for similar violations of its CIS regulations.
The Sebi order against Saradha Realty follows an investigation launched about three years ago by it after a reference was received from the Director Economic Offences Investigation Cell, Government of West Bengal in April 2010.
Sebi found that the company was collecting money from public in the range of Rs 10,000 to Rs 100,000 for 15 months to 120 months, with a promise of returns of 12-24 per cent.

I do the following:
I open the viewer, right click in the viewer and near the bottom of the
menu that appears there is an entry called "Font...". Clicking that
will lead to a pretty standard menu that allows you to change among
others the font size. (and the next time I use Stata for my normal work
and type the -help whatever- the help file shows up in a really big
font, because I forgot to change the font back again...)
Hope this helps,

|st: Question about stcurve
|Sat, 29 Oct 2005 22:09:33 -0700 (PDT)
Statalist, I am doing a survival analysis by fittng a parametric model. After streg x1 x2 x3, I would like to plot the survival graphs and do a counterfactual analysis. For example, if x2=0 (in my original data, x2 is a continuous variable), what would the survival graph look like. I think I can run a model by dropping x2 and then plot using stcurve. But how can I put the two survival graphs together i.e. a specification with x2 and without x2? Thanks. Xiaoyi University of Oklahoma __________________________________ Yahoo!

If you think the African-American community is a cut above the rest, then don't read this. You won't like it. But if you have this sinking feeling in your stomach, a nagging intuitive tug telling you that the African American community's progress has stalled, then baby, this one's for you. Here are the real problems facing the African American community, most of which no one's willing to talk about.
It's true. Face it. Black people don't like each other, at least not enough to do business with one another or support each other in any meaningful or consistent way. "But we were each other's rock during the Civil Rights movement" you say. Yeah. That was a long time ago. Think we still have that strong Jim Crow bond?
Here's a little test: Send an email to 20 of your closest friends and family members telling them you're starting a business and are looking to raise $1,000 from each of them, and watch them run.
Everybody loves supporting black business until it actually costs them something. When your black enterprise costs other black people money, then all bets are off. Excuses like- "It's a recession", "You're in my prayers," and "Isn't there venture capital for this sort of thing?" – will begin to roll off their selfish tongues like water. But they all got the new iPhone 5s. Trust.
And after you're finished with that, throw on a hip hop song, and tell me how many verses it takes you to get to the part where the black rapper spits about bustin' a cap into another black man's head. Don't worry… I'll wait.
2. We're too d@mn sensitive
We need collective therapy. Don't believe me? Click on any article where a white person is being accused of racism, and read all the rants from black people in the comments section. You'll quickly note how many blacks are just frothing at the mouth, all because some random white knucklehead said something racist.
God forbid anyone says anything which could be considered disrespectful of Obama, because then all h*ll breaks loose. Point being, we're too racially aroused, which allows other people to enrage us at the mere mention of anything which could be perceived as racist. And so leaders, both black and white, keep manipulating and distracting us with fake controversies that don't matter, in hopes that we'll lose sight of what actually does matter. And you know what? It works every time. We're predictable as h*ll.
I read Ted Nugent's racist rants because it's funny to watch someone so stupid make an azz of himself on Twitter. But he doesn't upset me, and why should he, when nothing he does or says impacts my life? But most black people lose their sh*t over a white rocker who can't possibly have an IQ over 70. Makes zero sense.
3. We can't handle the truth
Some of you are reading this right now thinking, "who is she to tell me what I should be doing, what does she know?" I know that the unemployment rate for African Africans is double that of whites, and higher than Asians and … wait for it… Latinos. The folks who just crossed the Mexican border are kicking our azzes, what does that tell you?
No, it's not all our fault, and we could use some substantive policy solutions from Washington D.C., but Capitol Hill doesn't give a sh*t about us. Barack Obama doesn't give a sh*t about us. We were not brought to these American shores with an expectation that we'd actually survive. That is our legacy. And when Paco and Jose are doing better in America than we are, we have a problem, and there's no explaining that away. We can't do everything, but we can do a heck of a lot better if we're willing to face the truth.
4. We Don't Dream Big
We're so happy surviving, keeping the rent paid and the kids fed, that we have no idea what it means to actually thrive. Ask five random black people how they're doing, and I guarantee you that at least two of them will answer with a heavy sigh, and then add, "I'm makin' it" or some equivalent of that phrase. Makin' it is all some of us do. It's all many of us focus on. But what is there beyond makin' it? Can't we ever venture into the territory of big dreams, dreams so big that they make us quiver inside? Are we so defeated that we're afraid of ever dreaming again?
5. We're Christians
If your religion is making you more amiable, more successful, and more accepting of others, then keep it. It's good for you. But if your religion is the reason for your stupid decisions, like continuing to flock to a church where the "Bishop" is accused of having s*x with boys, or has been charged with embezzlement or securities fraud, then you should quit your church, and maybe even your religion.
If your religion has you focused on something which never impacts your everyday life, like gay marriage, but ignores crime and poverty in the African-American community, then maybe you're not smart enough for religion. Maybe you should just try to be a good person on your own. Start small.
If your church has you aligned with right wingers, then that's a clear sign that you're failing at Christianity. If your religion had you lined up at Chick-fil-A to buy salt saturated chicken sandwiches, then you should quit religion. You're too gullible.
All I'm saying is that Christianity has a sad legacy of convincing African-Americans that they are to be rewarded for their long-suffering, so while others get their rewards here and now, we wait for death. And while others actually take action to help themselves and their community, we offer empty prayers. That's not #winning. That was a trick of slavemasters, one we still traffic in, to our own detriment.
UPDATE: It seems that my article sparked a good deal of conversation. Good. I keep it going by responding to some of the comments here.

Sports management is not for the faint of heart.
When a team does well it's the players who get the credit and when a team falters it's coaches and administrators who cop the blame.
Disgruntled fans have to be placated. Governing boards have to be seen to take action.
It's difficult to sack a whole team and much easier to make a scapegoat of the coach and administrators.
Such sackings are routine at poor performing sporting franchises but the shock axing of Magic boss Sheryl Dawson this week smacks of something entirely different.
No one could describe the Magic franchise, under Dawson's leadership, as unsuccessful.
This is the side who broke the Australian stranglehold on the transtasman netball competition, by beating the Vixens 41-38 in Melbourne in July.
The Waikato-Bay of Plenty side became the first New Zealand team in the competition's five-year history to lift the trophy.
The crucial role Dawson played in guiding the franchise to become the first New Zealand team to win the championship was rewarded with Tauranga Excellence in Business Leadership Award for 2012.
Despite this success she missed out on top job when she had to reapply for the position under a new governing body.
The job went to 43-year-old Aucklander Tim Hamilton.
Two Tauranga board members, Shirley Baker and Paula Thompson, resigned in disgust over the decision and grassroots netball organisations, including Netball Rotorua, have already spoken out against the move.
The franchise appeared to be on a sound financial footing, with Dawson playing a lead role in securing a major sponsorship deal with Kia Motors.
Board chairman John Wiltshire says he can't comment on why Dawson, who has not yet publicly spoken about the issue, was passed over, other than to say Netball New Zealand had indicated it wanted a new job description for the role.
There were a number of good candidates and they could only pick one. This is where it gets murky.
How is it that Dawson, with all her success last season, didn't even make the final shortlist? It makes me wonder if there has been some form of break down between Dawson and the some members of the board.
A point not lost on Thompson, who has questioned the selection process.
Five people were shortlisted and interviewed by the board members who then filled out a sheet with their preferred candidate for the final shortlist.
"Sheryl was not in the cut, I find that extraordinary," she says.
So do I.
The fans and supporting organisations of the franchise deserve a proper explanation as to why such a successful, experienced leader has been given the cold shoulder.

For the Wedding Day, To Shave or Not, – Daily Dilemma [AUDIO]
Here is the daily dilemma for Wednesday, March 7, 2012:
"My boyfriend and I have taken the plunge. We've set a date, guys. It should be a dream come true, but there's a major problem that I don't know how to solve. It's my fiance's beard. My parents think that for the wedding he should get rid of it. Now if I stopped here, I'm sure you would just tell them to 'butt out.' But guess what? I agree with them! It's more of a 5 o'clock shadow and that's the way he always trims it. He says 'I'll just grow it out.' I still really don't want the unshaven look at my wedding. He's pretty belligerent about the subject. It's becoming an issue to be sure. I don't want him looking scruffy for our wedding pictures, and my mother will go ballistic if the shots don't come out right. He's to the point where he wants to just elope somewhere. Do you think we are wrong in being so adamant about it?"
What do you think? Is this just leading to even more disagreements?
Here is what the callers had to say about this one this morning:

feasability of replacing AC flex ducting by myself?
so apparently the ducting in my attic is substantially leaky... to such a degree that i can actually feel cool air flowing down the attic and out the soffits that i was in process of replacing. from what i can tell several joints branching from a main rectangular duct are leaking, i suspect that they are responsible for the majority of that cold air i felt. i was aware of the poor condition of the ducting prior to this point... but honestly i had not thought it was as bad at this.
what concerns me however; having spent the last few days reading and researching proper residential hvac installations, is that the attic ducting is just garbage. nothing is strapped, the ducting runs over each other... theres alot of slack in the smaller ducts, and there are dozens of fairly bad kinks that ive been able to observe. i havent seen any mastic used anywhere, just tape and zip ties.
i had an HVAC company(apparently they only install trane products) come out last year to adress some minor issues. while they were there i asked if they could service the coil in the attic, at the time i was under the impression they needed cleaning somewhat regularly, it was my understanding at the time that it had not been cleaned in like 5 years. anyway they didnt seem to want to clean it, they actually said it appeared to be in OK condition along with the rest of the ac system. i asked if could give me a quote for just servicing the ducting. he hem'd and hawed for a while and i got the general impression that he didnt want to do it, but thought i personally should do something with it.
my question is simply... can a grown fat man about 300lbs 6'3" feasibly replace a small single story homes entire poorly constructed AC ducting with something far more appropriate for a 14 cent/kwh electrical service? its a fairly small single story cheaply built tract home built in the 70's , i think there are only 19 registers?
im mostly worried about what i should use to replace the main trunk line with and how to get it back into the attic, it looks like the existing one is just sheet metal? is that even possible? it seem like it would sweat badly..which is didn't appear to be doing. i cant actually get to it without hands and knees crawling and probably cutting some drywall. i understand that there is something called duct board that sounds like a suitable replacement, but can i work with it without specific tools? i have at a table saw and all the typical power tools, but nothing specific for sheet metal working.
anyway back to the original question. should i even bother trying? should i just fix what i can get to? if i can actually just blow out all the old duct work, is there anyway to do it in phases such that i can basically keep the ac functioning while i replace sections of the duct.
im going to buy the manual D and J books regardless so hopefully what ever i end up doing is done correctly.
thanks in advance for what ever advice you can give me.
edit: bad spelling, grammar etc.
I'm not certain ow physically fit you are. Just off the top of my head I've never seen anyone over maybe 200 pounds work an attic and even then they only do the equipment, not the ducts. One slip and you'll be on the living room floor not to mention if you become too hot and you can't get out in time, say you're in a tiny crevice on the back of the home and away from the staircase, and you're all alone and have a heat stroke up there than that's it, game over. You don't have to be thin or fat to have a heat stroke, many people have 'em in attics.
Infortunately, and please don't take this the wrong way, attic work is a thin and hopefully athletic man's game.
Your metal trunk line is insulated internally, why it's not sweating.
Duct board is very easy to work with but you may need to practice on some before actually attempting the entire trunk.
You don't neccessarily have to mastik all collar/duct connections as long as the liner is taped to the collar and the insulation is pulled all the way up to the trunk line take off and the entire thing is properly zip tied with duct zip ties at the collar. You do need to at the very least foil tape or mastick the collars to the trunk line to prevent air leaks there, but not the duct to the collar, that's what I should've said the first time around.
Your ducts on the floor are a no no. They should be strapped up.
It's fairly easy to replace ductwork. You just need a good plan and get some books from ADC or NAIMA to see how ducts should be installed. Manual D is very good to do and it will help you design your ductwork accordingly to your equipment and the required cfm for your cooling needs. If you have alot of space in the attic and you can move in and out easily then go ahead! But if you feel you may have trouble and stuff then just hire a company but you tell them what to do so it can be done properly. The only thing suks is the cost is very high if you hire a company. So that is something you might want to keep in mind. (especially with 19 registers!) The pro's on this forum can help guide you on your ductwork. I changed almost 80% of my ductwork and it wasn't that hard at all. I even suggest if you can get some help from some friends or hire a local handy for the day will help install your ducts even faster! It won't be the actual work that will take that long but it will be the planning part. good luck
Ask any hvac technician on here or any other forum or in real life, the minute a home owner "tells" us what to do as if we don't know our own job and you're on your own, we're out of there.
Talking to us, informed with the recently studied knowledge that we as well have and have had for years, discussing a plan of action together is alright. That way you can tell from conversation who is on the same page.
Tell us how to do our job? Do we tell you how to do yours as if we know more than you in your field? No.
Just saying.
for what its worth, while i would never consider myself fit, im not some sort of asthmatic or diabetic or some kind of scooter bound fat guy. :laughing:
i am worried about the smaller spaces tho, but there is really only one, and that's the stretch of attic that has the main duct, the roof is sloping down toward the edge at that point and is pretty low. i was hoping to just cut several access holes where necessary, in the drywall in between studs so i can get stuff;and get at stuff, in the attic space.
if i were to replace all the ducting or atleast a good chunk of it, my goal would be to get it in such a condition that when i do actually replace the AC unit(within 5 years probably), id like to have done the job correctly, such that i could have it installed with this proposed ducting. is that reasonable? should i perhaps step up the quality of the materials i use in anticipation of maby installing a much higher efficiency unit later?(currently an 8 seer 4 ton i believe)
anyway ill reserve anymore questions untill i really dig into those manuals.
kilosos2, its actually 13, including the tiny ones in the guest bathroom and laundry room. idk where i got 19.
thanks for taking the time to reply, i really appreciate it.
edit: grammar
I wasn't trying to be rude, you asked and so I told you what I thought.
It gets well over 130f in the attics I'm in. In the middle of the day I can only go in for about 30 seconds and I have to come out and rest for 10 minutes, go back up for 30 seconds, come back down and cool off for 10 minutes and so on and so forth.
If you think you can do it than go for it. It's really not all that difficult. Once the science (manual j and d) is done with the labor can be leisurely seeing as how you don't absolutely have to do it all in one day as we would if you hired us. You can do one or two duct runs a day until the job is finished or however you want to tackle it.
For now you may want to simply concentrate on the existing metal trunk line, sealing it all up with aluminum tape and/or mastik (all the collars which are connected to the trunk line as well) and then only run new flex ducts. That is if the trunk line is repairable, not squashed and torn or flattened, and is simply leaking air at the seams which can easily be repaired.
Your sheet metal duct is lined duct. Which means its insulated on the inside.
Duck board, is best when cut on a duct board machine. There are hand cutters for it, but the set isn't cheap.
on another note, im looking at the ACCA store for the MANUAL J and D, and i see that they are 300+ pages? i thought i was getting some sort of booklet with charts graphs spreadsheets etc for calculating duct sizes, not a 300 page book. am i missing something?
Coincidence? I live in Alief, Bellaire and Kirkwood, southwest Houston. Been doing a/c here for 12 years. It's Houston attics I was talking about. :)
A Manual J is going to take into consideration the geographic location of your home (Houston), which way the windows face and for how long, if they're single or double pane, how many, insulation value, awnings and trees, etc.
You may not like what you find meaning you may be needing to change out the entire system and duct work.
You can purchase the software online and do it with a computer. There's also a few local companies that do it for a price.
Cool Science is one of them. Can't tell you the price, though, but they are supposedly highly experienced at this, heat load analysis aka Manual J, as it's all they do.
i did see a few sites that sold the software, but tbh im looking forward to the challenge of doing it by hand. i do alot of cad work at my job so i suppose ill copy this houses bluelines into vanilla cad so i can get the lengths of duct etc necessary when doing the manual D. hopefully i dont find anything i didnt want to lol...
i actually live in sugarland, around 59 and 90. lol if i end up falling through the ceiling or something i may just have to give you a call. :thumbup:
Oh man, now you've gone and put me on the spot. I've never once performed a heat loss analysis so sorry, I can't help with the technical aspects. I only know what they consist of. :(
A few of these other guys have though so hopefully they'll jump in.
Its involved, but well worth it.
thanks beenthere, i wasnt aware of that spread sheet.
so the actual manual J and D books are strictly guides for filling out these spreadsheets? or are they more of a learning discourse explaining why things are done this way and not this way? my manual J wont be here till tuesday, cant wait to dig in.
i have another question somewhat unrelated to the OP. i was curious if there is someway i could quantify any improvement in air speed or even air leakage reduction?
i have an regular vane anemometer i use for measuring airspeed. as well as a static differential presure gauge for 0-2 inches of water. im thinking i could run the ac blower without the cooling off, and the registers blocked with tape and cardboard or someting... and just measure the static pressure inside the ac plenum with the pressure gauge before and after. id just measure the airspeed comeing out of each of the ducts with the anemometer obiviously.
i genuinely know nothing about hvac, is this idea hopelessly misguided? sounds too easy to be honest. ive seen how they use some soft of a fancy syncroness blower to pressurize entire houses to measure air leakage... but in this case id just be compairing before and after static pressures with the ducts blocked off.

International Projects
The primary goal of this project, which will begin September 1, 2016, is to build capacity among nurses in Portugal to deliver evidence-based tobacco dependence treatment in clinical practice. A secondary goal is to strengthen partnerships between national nursing associations within the country and with regional and international nursing organizations to continue to grow, and sustain, nurses' engagement in tobacco control.
This project, the Eastern Europe Center of Excellence for Nurses in Tobacco control (EE-COE), is a collaboration between the International Society of Nurses in Cancer Care, UCLA School of Nursing, and partners from the Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovenia, Slovakia, and Romania and is based in Prague, Czech Republic. The EE-COE partners have developed, and are currently implementing educational activities in each of the five countries. The goal of this collaboration was to build capacity among nurses in general practice and in oncology to implement evidence-based interventions with all patients who smoke.
The EE-HSQ will educate and prepare nurses on advances in tobacco control, through a proposed collaborative project that includes e-learning programs on tobacco control and tobacco cessation; and distribution of Tobacco Cessation Toolkits tailored for nurses in the Czech Republic and Poland. The proposed 2-year project will involve multidisciplinary collaboration to build capacity among nurses in the Czech Republic and Poland to enhance their engagement in tobacco control and thereby cancer prevention.
Educated Chinese RNs could have a significant impact on decreasing tobacco-related morbidity and mortality in China. In response to this overwhelming health problem in China, the impact of The Chinese Registered Nurse-Helping Smokers Quit (CRN-HSQ), an adapted Web- based educational program was developed to improve Chinese nurses' knowledge and skills in smoking cessation and on increasing nurses' self-reported frequency of delivery of the 5As to smokers in hospitals.
ecancer and the International Society of Nurses in Cancer Care (ISNCC) have developed online educational modules to explain the importance of tobacco cessation and advise nurses on the most effective way of supporting patients. Dr Linda Sarna, RN, PhD, FAAN, University of California at Los Angeles, who helped develop the content of the modules commented, 'This train-the-trainer workshop delivered by Czech nurses is one example of the many ways that nurses can make a difference and reduce cancer. These modules can be accessed from any computer and has been translated to six languages. This program is a valuable resource in providing nurses with the knowledge and skills to help smokers quit'.

Got any great money-saving tips you care to share? Our Staff Editor wants to hear them. Post your pearls of wisdom here, and you could be featured!
Got any great money-saving tips you care to share? Our Staff Editor wants to hear them. Post your pearls of wisdom here, and you could be featured!
Saving money with any endeavor is more about common sense than anything else.
1 - Buy the right thing the first time. You don't save money if you have to return to the store 3 times to get the right item or materials for the job. If you're unsure which item you need, buy a selection that will cover the project and return the unused portion later when you go back to the store for another project.
In this same vein, many people buy items like tile or flooring when it's on sale because it's too good to pass up, not knowing how much material they need. Two things usually arise from this,:
A) Not enough material is purchased for the job, which means they run short at time of installation. Then the material is no longer available in the color or pattern. A prime example of this comes from this very forum. Home Depot Out of Stock Ceramica DaVinci "Maui" 12x12 tile .
B) The material turns out to be the wrong material for the desired application and cannot be returned because it was on clearance, discontinued, or store "no return" policies. Warehouse and boutique stores are notorious for these tactics.
It's ok to purchase sale, clearance, and discontinued items as long as you know exactly how much you need and that they're suitable for the application intended. In the case of items such as tile or laminate or wood flooring, it's a good idea to purchase several extra boxes of material because there is always going to be some breakage and waste during installation as well as if you need to do repairs later, you'll have what you need.
2 - Do things right the first time. In general, people are only looking at the initial costs of a project and try to minimize the expense by using inferior products and/or workmanship. Inferior products and workmanship do not last, which means you're not only out the initial costs, you then get to pay for everything again when the project has to be done over when the original fails. Inferior products and workmanship can also cause other problems such as rot or more serious issues such as fire or electrocution. Do it right the first time! Use the right materials for the job and install them properly. Use professional help when a task is beyond your abilities.
Just because it's a good price doesn't mean it's a good deal.
The "Senior Member" designation under my name doesn't mean I know a lot, it just means I talk a lot.I've been a DIYer since I was 12 (thanks, Dad!). I have read several books on various home improvement topics. I do not have any current code books I can refer to. I was an apprentice plumber for two years.
You've heard it before:
"Measure twice, cut once"
I've learned the hard way trying to cut corners with cheap buys from the store. If your budget is tight, don't buy the most expensive, meet in the middle somewhere.
another great way to save money on a renovation project is to stop into your local Habitat for Humanitys "RESTORE" you can save a large amount of money on higher priced items at these stores. they sell items that were donated either by builders or some of the big box stores. be it windows, doors, trim, paint supplies along with bathroom fixtures. renovators do all kinds of custom jobs where the client changes their mind every 5 minutes, when this happens items get installed then removed simply because of personal taste. once a fixture has been opened or installed they can no longer return it soooo they either sell it for a discounted price or the builder just donates it so its out of their shop/warehouse taking up space . plus the procedes go to a good cause
fire up the saw and make some dust
This was not a ploy to garner more money from a job, it was used solely to educate the customer and make sure they got as close to exactly what they wanted as was possible within the budget constraints. The end result was a happy client, happy job, and repeat business when the client wanted something else done.
The key to homeowners going through this process is to choose a reputable contractor or tradesman whom you trust and that will work with you to help you understand how "cheap" isn't as money saving as you might think. Doing things right the first time will ALWAYS save you money in the long run.
you got er pontiac. theres nothing more dissappointing than doing work for a customer. giving them what they want along the lines of doing things cheap then when the product fails they start giving your company a bad rap for doing exactly what they wanted.
its always better to go above what they want to a certain amount so they dont second guess any decisions they made. there are two types of callbacks for contractors, the good type and the bad type
bad type: my front door is binding and i cant open it... spend half a day to remove it and reinstall
good type: i just loved what you did with my bathroom and walk in closet, can you come back and build a custom mantle with shelving to either side in teh family room
fire up the saw and make some dust
Buy or rent the right tool for the job. You will save time and waste.
Be sure you live your life, because you are a long time dead.-Scottish Proverb

On this day in 1933 police inspector Joseph Carruthers was shot and killed in Calgary. He was the second police officer killed in the line of duty on Calgary streets. Despite intensive investigations over many years, his killer was never brought to justice. Here is the story from the Herald's archive.
June 13, 1933
Police inspector shot to death:
At 3:20 o'clock, Tuesday morning an unidentified house prowler shot and killed Joseph Carruthers of Calgary in a lane behind 213 Superior Avenue as the officer and three other members of the city police force closed in on him.
The man's escape, as brother officials ran to Carruthers' assistance, precipitated the most determined and intensive search in Calgary police history. Within an hour all available member of city and Dominion police forces were scouring the district, and four men had been arrested on suspicion.
Every outgoing train was examined with minute thoroughness, cars were being stopped and questioned on the outskirts, and all suspicious characters were being rounded up as plain clothed men searched rooming houses and hotels. Railway police were co-operating.
A few minutes after the shooting, a freight train which left Alyth yards at 3 a.m., passed through the Sunalta district. It was searched at Cochrane and Banff.
The bullet, which had been fired from a .32-calibre pistol or revolver, entered the officer's left side about four or five inches below the arm pit, causing death almost immediately, an autopsy conducted by Dr. A. I. McCalls, at 8:30 o'clock, in Jacques funeral home, revealed.
