John was a salesman's delight when it came to any kind of unusual gimmick. His wife Marsha had long ago given up trying to get him to change. One day John came home with another one of his unusual purchases. It was a robot that John claimed was actually a lie detector.
It was about 5:30 that afternoon when Tommy, their 11 year old son, returned home from school. Tommy was over 2 hours late.
'Where have you been? Why are you over 2 hours late getting home?' asked John.
'Several of us went to the library to work on an extra credit project,' said Tommy.
The robot then walked around the table and slapped Tommy, knocking him completely out of his chair.
'Son,' said John, 'this robot is a lie detector, now tell us where you really were after school.'
'We went to Bobby's house and watched a movie.' said Tommy.
'What did you watch?' asked Marsha.
'The Ten Commandments.' answered Tommy.
The robot went around to Tommy and once again slapped him, knocking him off his chair once more.
With his lip quivering, Tommy got up, sat down and said, 'I am sorry I lied. We really watched a tape called Sex Queen.'
'I am ashamed of you son,' said John. 'When I was your age, I never lied to my parents.'
The robot then walked around to John and delivered a whack that nearly knocked him out of his chair.
Marsha doubled over in laughter, almost in tears and said, 'Boy, did you ever ask for that one! You can't be too mad with Tommy. After all, he is your son!'
With that the robot immediately walked around to Marsha and slapped her right off her chair.

In a while, Chet.
Five doctors went duck hunting one day. Included in the group were a GP, a pediatrician, a psychiatrist, a surgeon and a pathologist. After a time, a bird came winging overhead. The first to react was the GP who raised his shotgun, but then hesitated.
"I'm not quite sure it's a duck," he said, "I think that I will have to get a second opinion." And of course by that time, the bird was long gone.
Another bird appeared in the sky thereafter. This time, the pediatrician drew a bead on it. He too, however, was unsure if it was really a duck in his sights and besides, it might have babies. "I'll have to do some more investigations," he muttered, as the creature made good its escape.
Next to spy a bird flying was the sharp-eyed psychiatrist. Shotgun shouldered, he was more certain of his intended prey's identity.
"Now, I know it's a duck, but does it know it's a duck?" The fortunate bird disappeared while the fellow wrestled with this dilemma.
Finally, a fourth fowl sped past and this time the surgeon's weapon pointed skywards. BOOM!! The surgeon lowered his smoking gun and turned nonchalantly to the pathologist beside him.
"Go see if that was a duck, will you?"
Watch out for us retired folks!
The next time someone asks you a dumb question wouldn't you like to respond like this?
Yesterday I was at my local Wal-Mart buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for my loyal pet, Bisquit, the Wonder Dog and was in the checkout line when the woman behind me asked if I had a dog.
What did she think I had, an elephant? So since I'm retired and have little to do, on impulse I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, I was starting the Purina Diet again. I added that I probably shouldn't, because I ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms.
I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is to load your pants pockets with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The food is nutritionally complete so it works well and I was going to try it again. (I have to mention here that practically everyone in line was now enthralled with my story.)
Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food poisoned me. I told her no, I stepped off a curb to sniff an Irish Setter's *** and a car hit us both.
I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard. Wal-Mart won't let me shop there anymore.
Better watch what you ask retired people. They have all the time in the world to think of crazy things to say.

The Harley-Davidson Facts
The inventor of the Harley-Davidson
motorcycle, Arthur Davidson , died and
went to heaven.
At the gates, St. Peter told Arthur.
'Since you've been such a good man and
your motorcycles?
have changed the world, your reward is,
you can hang out with anyone you want to
in heaven.'
Arthur thought about it for a minute and
then said, ' I want to hang out with God.'
St. Peter took Arthur to the Throne Room,
and introduced him to God.
God recognized Arthur and commented,
'Okay, so you were the one who invented
the Harley-Davidson motorcycle?
Arthur said, 'Yeah, that's me...'
God commented: 'Well, what's the big deal
in inventing something that's pretty
unstable, makes noise?
and pollution and can't run without a road?'
Arthur was a bit embarrassed, but finally
spoke, 'Excuse me, but aren't you the
inventor of woman?'
God said, 'Ah, yes.'
'Well,' said Arthur, 'professional to

the rooster barak
Barak the Chicken (Rooster)
Trevor the farmer was in the fertilised egg business. He had several hundred young layers (hens), called 'pullets' and eight or ten roosters, to fertilise the pullets' eggs.
Trevor kept records and any rooster that didn't perform went into the soup pot and was replaced. That took an awful lot of his time so he bought a set of tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone so Trevor could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report simply by listening to the bells.
The farmer's favourite rooster was Barak , and a very fine specimen he was too, but on this particular morning Trevor noticed Barak 's bell hadn't rung at all!
Trevor went to investigate.
The other roosters were chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing. The pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover but to farmer Trevor's amazement, Barak had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring.
He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one.
Trevor was so proud of Barak , he entered him into the Ohio A & P and Barak became an overnight sensation among the judges.
The Result?
The judges not only awarded Barak the No Bell Piece Prize but they also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well.
Clearly Barak was a politician in the making: Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most highly coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention.
Do you know a Pullitician called Barak ?...
'Once upon a time in a village, a man appeared and announced to the
villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10 each. The villagers seeing that
there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them. The man bought thousands at $10 and, as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort. He further announced that he would now buy monkeys at $20 each. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again.
Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going
back to their farms. The offer increased to $25 each and the supply of
monkeys became so scarce it was an effort to even find a monkey, let alone
catch it! The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50 each!
However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant
would now buy on behalf of him.
In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers. 'Look
at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has already collected. I
will sell them to you at $35 and when the man returns from the city, you
can sell them to him for $50 each.' The villagers rounded up with all their
savings and bought all the monkeys.
Then they never saw the man nor his assistant again, only lots and
lots of monkeys! Now you have a better understanding of how the stock
market works.'
Story is not finished yet.
...Villagers went to the city and asked the man, why he disappeared.
Man told them that he lost all the money and cannot buy more monkeys.
Villagers collected some money from surrounding villages to help that man
so he can continue his business of buying monkeys. Now you have a better
understanding of how bailout works.

Early Reports on the Olmec
José Maria Melgar y Serrano, 1869
The first known report on an Olmec artifact a colossal head found by a farmer in Hueyapan in the State of Veracruz was by José Maria Melgar y Serrano, a Mexican Explorer. He published his discovery along with illustrations in an 1869 issue of the Seminario Ilustrado. In 1906 the German explorer Eduard Seler visited the head, which was then lost to the archaeological record until Albert Weyerstall described it again in 1932.

need some.. well.. tips :)
so Im trying to submit my first design here, and I guess it needs some more work done on it. so if any of you guys got some good pointers and tips on how to make it a little bit better, in any way, Im open for any suggestions.
tnx in advance :)

I have been wanting to do this for quite a while and now with the Vulgate for the Vulgar happening, I thought this would make for a good diversion. It is more healthy for starters, hopefully includes a few laughs, and now that Lady Gaga's official "Judas" video is out, a comparison can be done. Secondly, it could be more entertaining than the mundane Vulgar subject.
By the way, for all you Evangelical Fundamentalists out there, Vulgar does not mean vile, but rather "common people" and the Vulgate was written for the common people who could read, which was generally the well-to-do people and not the actual commoners. The actual common people learned the Bible via pictures in stain glass, but leave it to us non-theists to have a little fun with your religion.
Anyway, everyone tries to compare Lady Gaga with Madonna. I say there is no comparison. While I like them both and they are both good in their own right, there are aspects of both videos and songs that I like better than the other.
Let us get down to the nitty-gritty of the two videos. Madonna's video is more spiritual, at least to me, and Lady Gaga's is more rebellious. The sex scenes do not compare in the least. In fact, Gaga's is not a sex scene, but rather an abusive scene. Madonna's is a hot scene kinkily portrayed in a church (I recently wrote a Star Trek: Voyager story with a holodeck scene where Chakotay and Janeway did it in a church), while Gaga's scene is in a hot tub in some medieval setting. Not to mention, Madonna has the cuter, hotter, and sexier more realistic Judas. Sorry, Gaga, but your taste in men… Then again, Gaga's men are all part of a motorcycle gang or rather the disciples are a motorcycle gang, which could be better than the Disciples. Thing is, I am not talking about those in the Bible, but none of her disciples, much less her Jesus, are wearing purple, which is suppose to be a royal colour.
Madonna's video has a story line to it, while Gaga's has various scenes from a variety of time periods, which make no sense at all, much like some religious theology. Gaga is going to bring down a king with no crown, I think, and while she is a "holy fool" or "horny fool" , Madonna is actually making love. However, if Gaga is referring to Mary Magdalene, she has the hooker, prostitute, wench thing all wrong, in which ever version you find.
Why don't we take a look at the two videos before we continue, just so everyone knows what I am talking about and "Get Into the Groove":
Gaga's first since hers is newer:
Now Madonna's Like a Prayer:
Now we can continue with the comparison more easily. Oh God! I think I'm falling for Madonna's Judas… But seriously, I think Madonna is more authentic in her portrayal of Judas, if he were a real character that is.
As I said, Madonna has a story line in her video. Madonna is running from something, as we see burning crosses. She ends up witnessing a woman being assaulted by a bunch of white men and this black man comes along to help the victim. The police arrive, assume the man hurt the woman, and take him to jail without any questions. Racial profiling at its finest.
Gaga begins with a disciple biker gang and I don't think there are twelve, but rather ten. I am uncertain if she is riding with Jesus and Judas rides up beside them, but she sticks her tongue in the man's ear that she is riding with and gives him a thrill while riding the bike. I will give her credit, the dude she is riding with is possibly biracial and she has good stomach muscles, but compared to Madonna, she has no guts in the modern age. If she is going to have a rebellious character, she might as well go all out and not just in a skimpy dance performance where she shows off her belly button like a sultan's belly dancer or a dancing biker babe, which ever. Suddenly, Gaga looks like she has become a pirate with no rhyme or reason.
Madonna? Well she goes into a church looking for shelter, help, or safety? It is a typical possible thought for many people, especially when life has suddenly become a bewildering mystery with many questions. Why so much violence when the world is already so unkind and why are people so cruel and hateful to others?
Once in the church she sees so many neuro-stimulating items that her senses are overwhelmed, especially when the man she saw taken way by the police is behind bars in the church. He is in so much pain that he is crying and drops the rose before her as she become attracted to him.
Meanwhile, Lady Gaga, whose Judas is cruel, is patting Peter's back during a drunken dancing pirate party, with no storyline, of which I mentioned already. She still wants to bring him down and what for I don't know at this point, the video does not give us any clue. Maybe she has a dysfunctional relationship with him and wants to make him walk the plank. Who knows, but wait! Now we're in the middle of a bar fight! I am so confused as to why she is a barmaid in an saloon and pawing Jesus or Judas? I somehow get the impression the jock dude is Judas, but I am uncertain, and while I am confused, she is now in medieval Europe as some sort of… Lady? We are back to her showing off her muscular stomach again at the same time. Twice her age and two kids later, Madonna and I can do the same thing. What of it? All I can say is, "Look Ma! No stretch marks!"
Back to Madonna, who has a storyline that makes sense…
She lays down on a pew, takes a nap, and starts dreaming. Heaven help her, she is now kissing Judas' feet, and then releases him from his cage. At this point, it really starts to get good, because Judas, Judas…
When he comes to me, I am ready
I'll wash his feet with my hair if he needs
Just like a prayer
Madonna is going to take him there eventually, but not yet. He kisses her on the cheek and forehead. Then she watches him depart, but before either of them takes the other anywhere she must experience Stigmata first. Except she only experiences one of the five wounds of Stigmata, so she does not have to suffer very long, but mind you, she is still dreaming and has not yet awaken. As sleeping beauty, she watches a full "Godspell" choir. Can I get a "Glory Hallelujah"?
Meanwhile, Gaga holds a gun to Judas or is that Jesus? I'm so confused at this point, but she holds it to his stomach, which is the worst of the five wounds of Stigmata, but I'm not feeling it. I am into the song, but not into the video, because I cannot figure out what sort of story she is trying to tell. Of course, the dude who loves her tongue and belly action is watching with a smile, but wait a minute… She moves the gun to the Jock dude's face. That has nothing to do with Stigmata, so where is the numinous feeling in this video?
In the most Biblical sense,
I am beyond repentance
Fame hooker, prostitute wench, vomits her mind
But in the cultural sense
I just speak in future tense
Judas kiss me if offensed,
Or wear ear condom next time
Um… yeah. He needs one. I'm just not feeling the video here, Gaga. So let's go back to the Full "Godspell" choir that takes us there in the midnight hour with angels sighing.
Madonna appears to leave the church and has a flashback to the assault scene, but she is still in the church dreaming. So this is most definitely a flashback and it is troubling her greatly. The woman is stabbed in the side, the most fatal wound of the Stigmata. The black man comes to help, but is hauled off again, with a white man giving Madonna a snide look, as though to call her a slur. Again we see burning crosses, which is symbolic of an actual reality and the pain of it can be felt. Madonna maybe dancing at this point, but her facial expression and the act of wrapping her arms around herself show a variety of feelings. If you pause it right when she has her arms fully crossed in front of her, it looks as though she is suffering with mental anguish and the fact that the man was hauled off to jail, it was not as it seemed. The reality of the story is totally different from what was assumed, but we go back to total neurological Godspell in the church.
Meanwhile, Gaga still has the gun pointed in the Jock dude's face. She paints his mouth with lipstick and falls as though she were shot. Now we go to some nonsensical water and hot tub mix scene, which finally does go to a hot tub scene, but it is hardly as kinky as Madonna's love scene. The woman has claws, which you see when she washes feet. What is it? An apocalyptic scene or a foot washing scene? Well, we know there is not going to be any Second Coming, so anyone's guess is good.
OK, so the Jock dude must be Judas, because he kisses the dude with the weird crown on both cheeks. That and you finally get a view of the name on the back of his jacket, which says "Judas". Then it gets a bit… well, I don't know. I don't think I would appreciate any man forcing me down as he has his hands on my face. Seems a bit abusive, but she's just a horny… um… holy fool, depending on which lyrics you stumble upon and Jesus is her burden… no that's not right. Jesus is her virtue, while Judas is a demon she clings to and once again she shows off her abs. The next scene with Judas, I am not about to describe. I figure the audience can make a description for themselves, because I cannot figure out a creative way to describe that, in which young readers will not comprehend.
Meanwhile, Judas comes back to Madonna in the church and a woman touches her on the forehead to either bless or heal her. That part I am unsure of, but at least her dream makes a little more sense than Gaga's debauchery.
Judas is back and now this is love, pure Sexual Healing. It is total heavenly love as he kisses her again and takes her there on the pew. It's getting hot in here! Blood, sweat, and tears, they take each other there in total ecstasy! Now THAT'S a love scene, better than Kirk kissing Uhura in the Star Trek episode "Plato's Stepchildren", which was the first interracial kiss on TV back in the late 60s. Madonna is obviously satisfied and happy. You go, girl!
Gaga on the other hand is dancing in her pirate costume insisting that she is so in love with Judas, who seems more of an abuser than a lover. Of course, for her ways she gets stoned to death… in medieval clothing. Nice. Let's just perpetuate misogyny while we are at it. Personally, I prefer the song alone without the video, because it sounds more symbolic of an abusive lover that she wants to take down, but is stuck in a cycle of abuse. The music is good and she knows there are better men out there than Judas.
Finally, Madonna sees Judas get locked up in his cage again and wakes up from her wonderfully blissful sensuous dream, despite the fact it was mixed with a traumatic scene. It was still transcending. She sits up, sees Judas behind bars, and remembers the man who was accused of something he did not do. She heads to the jail, tells what she saw to a policeman, and the man is released with a happy ending.
For two women who grew up Catholic, there is no comparison. Madonna showed all the symbolism of religion, while still having a story line. She showed all the pain and agony that one can go through, as well as human love and compassion. In the end, she drops the fairytale, stands on her own two feet, does the right thing, and gets the innocent man out of jail, despite having society ridicule her for it. That in itself brings on a good feeling and without the neuro-stimulating items in the church, such as candles, music, symbolic imagery, and dancing.
Lady Gaga? Well, I guess if a woman has sex with the wrong man, she gets barbarically stoned to death, just as the Bible says. However, Madonna had more symbolic neuro-stimuli in her video, in which to "Get Into the Groove". Gaga "Can Dance", with excellent choreography, but she cannot tell a story in her video. She does not need a "get out of hell free card" though. She just needs better video scene writers with better imaginations and maybe more knowledge of symbolic theology. Her lyrist is great though.
Of the accusations that Lady Gaga is copying Madonna, this is what she had to say about that (slightly edited due to language):
"I feel like honestly that God sent me those ["Judas"] lyrics and that melody," Lady Gaga said crying.
"That's retarded," Lady Gaga said of copycat accusations. "If you put the songs next to each other, side by side, the only similarities are the chord progression. It's the same one that's been in disco music for the last 50 years. Just because I'm the first f***ing artist in 25 years to think of putting it on Top 40 radio, it doesn't mean I'm a plagiarist, it means I'm f***ing smart. Sorry."
"I am not stupid enough to put a record out and be that moronic. Why would I try to put a song out and think I'm getting one over on everybody?"
I do not even hear the same chords and I do not see any similarities in the videos, much less the songs. On top of it all, Gaga does not even appear to be Mary Magdalene in the video. Maybe I do not understand Lady Gaga's videos or maybe Madonna has more theatrical experience. Which ever, there is no similarity in my mind between the two, unlike the Gospel stories, which are similar to Horus and other mythical stories. Gaga is bold and rebellious, but Madonna is bold and daring with a story line.
Not only that, Madonna did "Like a Prayer" in the twentieth century and was daring enough to have a love scene with a black man, who was symbolic of Judas. Gaga, did not even come close, except in the name of the character. Biblical wise, Gaga had the betrayal down and Madonna did not. Madonna's Judas did not betray anyone nor was he abusive. The betrayal was the only thing Gaga had and physical appearance is the only thing Madonna had in relationship to the origin of the story.
Sorry, but even as a child, I looked at the Jesus pictures and thought, "That's not Jesus. Given the location, he had to be much darker or at least looked like a Middle Eastern person." The same goes for Judas, so if Jesus is going to be anyone's lover, he never was a white man. Maybe biracial, but not white. I can hear the Klan and the Religious Reich now. I will probably be the number one worst enemy on their women's list. Can't have White women fornicating with Black men you know, and God forbid they are not married when they do consummate a relationship. Just keep in mind your book says, "He who is without sin, cast the first stone" of which Gaga mixed Old Testament writing with New Testament writing with the stoning at the end.
So in conclusion, both singers have their good points and while I do like Lady Gaga's songs, her video does not have the same quality as Madonna's.
Note: I do hope everyone forgives the shameless and sacrilegious plug within this article though, but if you do read it, a word of warning, it is extremely sacrilegious and could be offensive to some people.

A Guide to the Hidden Wisdom of Kabbala HTML version
This unique soul reached its highest level during its last incarnation, giving life to
Rabbi Yehuda Ashlag, the Baal HaSulam. During its journey through our world this
soul was able to provide explanations on the structure of the spiritual worlds
beginning with the highest degrees, from the birth of the first being up to the
completion of the correction of the universe.
Rabbi Yehuda Ashlag explains that the "Light emanating from the Creator"
designates the desire to create beings and to please them. This phase is referred to
as the Root Phase or Phase 0. In Hebrew, it is called Behina Shoresh or Keter, as
shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1. Five Behinot
Afterwards this Light creates a Vessel whose desire to receive pleasure perfectly
matches it. The Light fills up the Vessel and pleases it. This is Phase 1, Behina Alef
or Hochma.
The attribute of this Light is to give, to bear the delight, while the attribute of the
Vessels consists in receiving, experiencing pleasure. However, when the Light
enters the Vessel, it begins to transfer to the Vessel its attributes and the Vessel
wishes to become like the Light; instead of wanting to receive, it now wants to give
without restraint. At this stage, the Vessel desires to be like the Light, i.e. to give
without restraint, and therefore it refuses to receive because it has nothing to give.
This stage is called Phase 2, Behina Bet or Bina.
Being empty of the Light, the Vessel begins to consider that the goal of the Light
consists in creating a Vessel and pleasing it. Clearly, the Vessel can only experience
pleasure if it receives a certain portion of the Light.
The next phase corresponds to the desire to receive, let us say, ten percent of the
Light, pleasure, but with an intention turned toward the Creator (bestowal). This
process is in fact a mixed phase, Phase 3, Behina Gimel or Zeir Anpin.

UPDATE Added a full-size image (packaging and all) after the jump. *
If there was any doubt, here is some more confirmation that the BlackBerry Storm 2 will be launching on Verizon very soon. @Ackee_ sent me a picture of a Verizon buy-one-get-one (BOGO) free flyer showing the "New Storm2" next to its older siblings!
Earlier today I mentioned that Vodafone might be launching the Storm2 this week. If true, Verizon will probably launch either next week or the following week. Since Best Buy is already getting accessories for the Storm2 I wouldn't be surprised if it launched within a few days, but let's not push it 🙂 .
Anyone else hear or see anything about the Storm2's launch? Let me know in the comments or send me a message!

He arrived at the court in Pretoria, South Africa, in a police car with a blue blanket covering his head.
On Tuesday, the first day of his bail hearing, the court heard the Paralympian claim he shot his model girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp because he thought she was a robber.
But chances of him being given bail seemed slimmer when magistrate Desmond Nair ruled the case a schedule six offence - meaning premeditated murder. It means his lawyers now have to prove "exceptional circumstances" to have any chance of him being bailed until he goes on trial.
The gold-medal winner, known as the Blade Runner, is accused of murdering Steenkamp at his home in Pretoria, South Africa, last Thursday.
Pistorius' lawyer, Barry Roux, read out a statement to a packed courtroom in Pretoria which gave his version of the events that led to Steenkamp's death. The 26-year-old denies murder and said the couple were "deeply in love".
In the statement, the defendant said he felt vulnerable because he was not wearing his prosthetic legs. He claimed he fired his gun into the bathroom, but then realised Steenkamp was not in his bed. "It filled me with horror and fear," Pistorius said.
Upon realising his mistake, he put on his legs, walked towards the bathroom and broke down the locked door with a cricket bat. He said he ran downstairs carrying his 29-year-old girlfriend, but "she died in my arms". Pistorius went on: "I fail to understand how I could be charged with murder, let alone premeditated murder, as I did not plan to murder my girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp."
The defendant began shaking and crying as his statement was read out, according to the South African Press Association.
The bail hearing came as Steenkamp's funeral was held in her home town of Port Elizabeth. The memorial service was attended by family and friends who had travelled from around the world. Six pallbearers carried her coffin, draped with a white cloth and covered in white flowers.

Stencil Graffiti Capital: Melbourne
By Jake Smallman and Carl Nyman
During the first few years of this century, Melbourne was the global epicentre of stencil graffiti, with artists like Meek, Sixten, and Meggs cutting amazing stencils and getting them up all over the city.

Visiting Australia for the first time, Afghanistan: Hidden Treasures from the National Museum, Kabul showcases more than 230 priceless treasures dating from between 2,000 BC and AD 200.
The exhibition, at Melbourne Museum until July 28, offers a rare opportunity to discover the untold story of the long and rich culture of Afghanistan.
Many of the artefacts come from between the 3rd century BC and the 1st century AD, a period which covers the beginning of Silk Road trade, one of the most dynamic periods in Afghanistan's history. The country was at the heart of the Silk Road, the trading route travelled by Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, and Marco Polo, linking ancient Iran, Central Asia, India, and China, and the more distant cultures of Greece and Rome.
For years these precious artefacts of gold, bronze, and stone sculptures, ivories, painted glassware, and other ancient works of art were thought lost or destroyed as war and instability shook the country. In 2003, they were uncovered from vaults in the central bank of the presidential palace, where they had been placed in secrecy by a few courageous staff from the National Museum, Kabul.
Hidden Treasuresnot only offers visitors a look at the objects themselves but also reveals a diverse and thriving ancient culture.

This should help.
As the model number indicates, the 3082 was made in 1982. It was commissioned by Oklahoma Tire and Supply Co., and it should have a 2T prefix to the serial number. These OTASCO guns were made with the lesser quality birch stocks, and even in mint condition don't bring any more than standard 336 Marlins with walnut stocks.

They made mistakes in my naturalization application including putting wrong date of birth and misspelling my name!
I've became aware of the mistakes in the submitted application only couple days before appointment with naturalization officer (when the office stuff was kind enough finally to show me my own file) and had no choice but get accompanied to the interview by somebody from the office for an additional $1000! So for several thousands they filed a form for me with mistakes and asked for another grand when I had no choice to decline the offer:) After more than a year they still trying to charge me some fees… terrible!

To maintain the National Standard as a useful information collection system over time, periodic revisions are made to the system. About the National Standard contains general information on the goals and principles guiding all revisions.
Recent Revisions
The most recent revisions to the National Standard were completed and approved by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the NASAA board of directors in April 2014.
The revisions bring the National Standard into harmony with selected portions of NEA FY2015 Final Descriptive Report Instructions.
2014 Revisions to the National Standard for Arts Information Exchange
Note: The National Standard classifies fields as "Necessary" or "Optional." Necessary components are important data points that every public arts agency should be able to provide for management, accountability or communications purposes. Optional components are less critical, but should be defined consistently among the agencies that elect to include them in their systems.
NEA reporting requirements—with which all states and regions must comply—include National Standard data elements as well as some fields unique to federal reporting requirements.
Most Recent Revisions Process and Background
In 2010, a National Standard Revisions Working Group was formed to initiate consideration of changes to the system to meet the current needs of states, regions, the NEA and NASAA. The Working Group embarked on a comprehensive and inclusive process for assessing revisions needs and options and seeking a broad base of input.
Under the guidance of the Working Group, a field assessment survey was administered to all state arts agencies and regional arts organizations in 2010. In addition to reviewing the detailed findings of this assessment, the Working Group identified major areas of interest and concern important to the formulation of a revisions plan.
As the field assessment results were being considered, the Working Group received notice from the NEA that the agency would be revising its Final Descriptive Report (FDR) requirements for all NEA grantees, including states and regions. However, specific details on those data needs were not available at that time. A joint NEA/NASAA decision therefore was made to place the National Standard revisions process on temporary hold in order to allow the process to dovetail meaningfully with changes in the NEA's data collection strategies. This decision was made, in part, for the sake of efficiency. (Nobody wanted states and regions to have to modify all of their guidelines, databases and information management systems twice.) It also allowed for the possibility of harmonizing the National Standard and NEA reporting requirements to the greatest possible degree.
The NEA's process for articulating new reporting requirements evolved in stages between 2011 and 2013. The Working Group and NASAA staff provided input to the NEA on the proposed reporting requirement changes to supplement the feedback that the NEA collected directly from Partnership Agreement grant recipients through webinars and e-mail. Final proposed changes were submitted to the Office of Management and Budget in September 2013.
In December 2013, the Office of Management and Budget approved new NEA Final Descriptive Report Instructions affecting NEA fiscal year 2015 / SAA and regional arts organization fiscal year 2016. This approval allowed the National Standard Working Group to reconvene and finalize a revisions proposal. The finalized changes to all NEA fiscal years under consideration are outlined in this memo to the field from NEA State and Regional Partnership Director Laura Scanlan and are also available in FDR reporting instructions format.
From January to April 2014, the National Standard Working Group reconvened to further discuss final changes to the NEA reporting requirements, to consider how these changes should affect updates to the National Standard and to formulate a National Standard revisions proposal. The process involved extensive consultation with the field as well as input from the NEA and technical advisors. The proposal was sent to all stakeholders, including all grants management software providers. NASAA received comments in writing and during an on-line forum. All verbatim comments were shared with the NEA, the Working Group and NASAA. In April 2014, a final revisions proposal reflecting the recommendations of the Working Group was forwarded to and approved by NEA senior staff and the NASAA board of directors.

The surgeons listed above are members of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, licensed by the state of Pennsylvania and certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS).
Choose Your Plastic Surgeon Carefully
Remember, any licensed physician is legally allowed to advertise as a "cosmetic" surgeon, even if he or she has no formal surgical training. Your body is nothing to take chances with, so avoid the risk. Selecting a board-certified plastic surgeon from this list is your assurance that your doctor has the highest quality training and advanced surgical skills.
ABPS Certification and ASAPS Membership Matters
The ABPS is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties to certify doctors in the specialty of plastic surgery. Following medical school, ABPS-certified plastic surgeons must have completed a minimum of 5 years of surgical training, including an accredited plastic surgery residency program. Members of ASAPS must be in at least their third year of active practice following ABPS certification.

Gunbroker or Guns America might be sites for you to consider. By the way, Kimber does make a 9mm 1911 - one model is built for the USA Shooting Team and is available for purchase by the general public. A portion of each sale goes to support the team.
There are a number of firearms manufacturers making the guns that meet your spec of a 9mm-chambered 1911. Another option is to get a 1911 in .45 ACP and then get a conversion kit. Though more expensive, you'd have the option to shoot both calibers while you learn just one trigger.
I've only fired a few 1911 but none of them were in 9mm. All I can offer is that I've seen some people talk about making sure that you get a well-built 9mm 1911 because there's more to a 9mm 1911 than just a different barrel and magazine. There are geometry changes in the feed area that need to be done to make the gun run reliably.
Hopefully someone more up on all of that comment for you.

Consistently reliable dishwasher manufacturer?
Good Morning-
We're getting ready for a big kitchen re-do, and I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a company that makes dishwashers that seem to consistently (compared to competitors) perform well and have good longevity. Are there brands that historically have been problematic? I realize that there's there's no perfect company, and even the best produce duds from time to time, but if you could pick one or two brands that are a "safe" bet, what would they be? Thanks in advance for your help!
I have repaired a cold solder joint on my Bosch's 4300 series Circuit board after about 8 years, but have read after the fact that they woiuld have replaced it for labour only.
That said, I love it , if it died trommorrow I would find it's twin and carry on. I was very impressed with the design when I did the install. It's quiet, cleans great, looks good and self diagnoses problems. What more can you ask for.
Slam some doors and look at them all. This unit is very solid as is the range.
Check out new Samsung and LG stuff, pretty impressive washer drier sets
I have used Bosch higher end dishwashers on my projects for years. Never a problem yet. (except HO does not know they are on since they are so quiet)
Sorry, what I left out was, so impressed I bought the Bosch convection range last year to match.
Ok, thanks for the suggestions, I appreciate it!
Just about any higher end DW will perform well...stay away from anything entry level...

Water Stinks with recirculation pump
I had a hot water recirculation pump installed just over a year ago. Now, my water stinks when I turn on the hot water tap and I have luke warm water in my cold water line. I was told to drain off the water in my hot water tank, but this did not solve the stinky water problem. If I turn off the pump, the stinky water goes away. However, I then have to wait a long, long time to get hot water. I suspect that the hot water standing in the pipes helps bacteria to grow resulting in stinky water. Has anyone else had this problem? How do I solve the problem?
The thing with a recirc pump is..... well, the water isn't standing in the pipes. :huh:
I've actually heard before that the stink is from the anode rod going bad. Can you check the anode rod, or is your ceiling too low?
Not to change the subject - but we use a remote controlled switch on our recirculator to only turn it on when we want to use it. You can find something like this for less that $20. Also an X-10 module will work and I recently upgraded to some Z Wave devices that work great.
Stinky Water
Thanks for your response. I had the plumber change the anode rod. The water still stinks. Any other ideas?
I still think it is the recirc pump because my plumbing runs through the concrete floor and the plumber had to recirculate the hot water into my cold water line instead of the correct way of sending it back into the hot water tank using a line of its own. Now, I have luke warm in the hot water line and in the cold water line.
Frustrated in Ohio.
was the anode rod bad? :huh:
Disconnect the pump for a month and see if it clears up.
OK. I will keep this as short as possible but there are a couple of things to consider.
First, stinky water is usually caused by a reaction between anaerobic bacteria (present in some water supplies) and the magnesium and/or aluminum anode rods used to protect the water heaters. This reaction creates hydrogen sulfide gas, causing the classic "rotten egg" odor. If you have a water softener the problem is usually worse.
If you don't have a water softener, the best way to correct this is usually by replacing the anode rod with one made of zinc and aluminum. The zinc is critical to stopping the smell. If your heater has more than 1 anode make sure you remove the other old one or you will be canceling out the benefit of the new one. I know you have had the anode replaced already but if the new one doesn't have the zinc you need to do it again.
If you do have a water softener, a powered anode should correct your problem but will cost a lot more, $200 and up.
As for the pump, it sounds like you have a Grundfos or Lang type designed to move the cooled water from the hot pipe to the cold to keep from wasting water. These work very well but, as you mentioned, they have a tendency to make the cold water warm for a few seconds.
There is another system, the Metlund D'mand System, which is much more efficient and minimizes the issue of warm water in the cold pipes. It does this by moving the water much more quickly through the pipes. It also costs more so that is a factor to consider.
Hope this helps.

text: In most countries, government procurement accounts for between 10% and 15% of total GDP. Given this magnitude, the policies regulating government purchasing have the potential to exert considerable pull on national and international markets for products frequently bought by governments. Many countries (the US included) have established clear policies establishing preference for life-cycle-cost effective goods & services, with specific written exceptions required for products that do not meet established energy-efficiency (EE) standards. In spite of these policies, data suggests that compliance with procurement regulations remains low even in nations where they have been in place for a decade or more. National-level EE procurement programs face data shortages, funding shortfalls and few mechanisms to enforce compliance. The SEAD International Procurement Working Group was established to examine the challenges faced by EE government procurement programs in developed and developing countries alike. This talk will highlight several mutual challenges faced by members of the Working Group, in addition to best-practices solutions.
