text: Hi Footy fans... In six days, the mayhem begins once again when the South Australian National Football League kicks off the 2012 Premiership Season. This year promises to be hot... a new SANFL premier, a new state coach and more night-time footy is sure to bring an unprecedented level of excitement to the competition. Woodville-West Torrens escaped AAMI Stadium with the Thomas Seymour-Hill Trophy in last year's decider, the second year in a row that a Grand Final has been decided by no more than a goal. The Bulldogs look set to challenge strongly once more, but then South Adelaide weren't expected to feature in Finals Footy last year so there maybe more surprises in store in this year's edition of SANFL football. So lets get into it... welcome to the Season Preview for SANFL 2012. YOUR TEAM -- Ins & Outs Just quickly... if there's any names missing, just put them on the thread! Chances are I haven't got absolutely everyone on the lists. WOODVILLE-WEST TORRENS The Eagles had their hearts in their mouths come the dying seconds of the 2011 Grand Final, but the premiership flag would eventually find its way into the trophy cabinet of Oval Avenue after a three-point win against their bitter rivals the Bulldogs. But as with all clubs, some players are going to probably call it a day after a premiership win. Several of their stars are calling it quits, such as James Rimington, Leigh Treeby and Stephen Tiller. But they will be far from short of manpower as Robert Shirley returns to Woodville Oval from ACT club Ainslie, Robert Eddy from St. Kilda and Chris Kane has transferred over from Glenelg. IN: Robert Eddy (St. Kilda), John McCarthy (Power listed), Chris Kane (Glenelg), Robert Shirley (Ainslie NEAFL), Byron Sumner (Sydney), Jarrod Harding (GWS). OUT: Jarred Allmond (Personal Reasons), Stephen Tiller (retired), Cameron Sutcliffe (Fremantle), Leigh Treeby (Sorrento VCFL), James Rimington (retired), Tom Corbett (retired), Brad Geddes (RSMU), Dale Symmons (retired), Stuart Hill (North Adelaide), Amos Frank (Hawthorn). CENTRAL DISTRICT Many at the Ponderosa would be asking only one question after last year's Grand Final loss... "What the hell happened?". It wasn't until the final term that the Dogs made a serious challenge, but the final shot on goal would spray wide to deny them a 10th premiership. Encouragingly for 2012, the exit door wasn't overworked. Fremantle came calling for Lee Spurr, Daniel Havelberg's work commitments finally forced his exit and defending NEAFL premiers NT Thunder made off with Ashley Duncan. Originally known for his dreadlocks, Ben Nason has returned home from Richmond, bringing his Coburg teammate James Lawton with him. IN: Dylan Orval (Crows listed), Ben Nason (Richmond/Coburg), Tom Collier (Brisbane Lions), Jackson O'Brien (Clarence), James Lawton (Coburg), Callum Hay (North Adelaide). OUT: Daniel Havelberg (work commitments), Lee Spurr (Fremantle), Nick White (North Adelaide), Ashley Duncan (NT Thunder), Jack Gunston (Hawthorn). NORWOOD The 2011 campaign was completely derailed come September as injuries to key personnel saw them eliminated in the Preliminary Final after a bruising 2nd Semi. This year, in response to a glut of retirements -- James Gallagher, Stuart Bown and Stephen Doyle among them -- and big league draftings, the Redlegs went shopping and secured several players with a mixture of AFL and SANFL experience. One prominent name is Nathan Batsanis, a member of the Port Melbourne outfit that took the 2011 VFL Premiership undefeated. Former South Adelaide forward Ben Warren has also found his way to The Parade from Great Southern FL club Langhorne Creek, as well as returning players Roland AhChee and Jimmy Savage. Also coming to The Parade to join the coaching panel is former Adelaide premiership player Andrew McLeod, who helped the NT Thunder take out the NEAFL Premiership last year. IN: Kane Murphy (Sydney Reserves), Roland Ah Chee (Gold Coast), Ben Warren (Langhorn Creek), Michael Newton (Melbourne), Jaryd Cachia (Carlton), Nathan Batsanis (Port Melbourne), Brent Renouf (Power listed), Jimmy Savage (GWS). OUT: Cameron Shenton (St. Kilda), Sam Rowe (Carlton), Alex Forster (Fremantle), James Gallagher (retired), Stuart Bown (Retired), Matthew Davis (study), Jesse Aish (Barossa District), Scott Borlace (Brisbane coaching panel). SOUTH ADELAIDE The Panthers were the biggest improvers of 2011, their second appearance in finals football in the last decade saw them finish fourth after reaching the second week of the finals where they were defeated by eventual premiers, the Eagles. Their new mission? Keep things on the improve. Even though several frontline players have moved on -- Mitch Sandery, Adam Cockshell, Andrew Horne, Nathan Lyons among them -- the Panthers have seemed to make up for that with some ex-AFL talent. Coming in from the West Coast Eagles is Tim Houlihan, who actually started his football journey in South's junior region before ending up in the TAC Cup and subsequently to WA. Following him to Noarlunga is Fremantle's Justin Bollenhagen, as well as Todd Pfeiffer and Xavier Watson who transferred from rival SANFL clubs. IN: Tom McNamara (Melbourne), Justin Bollenhagen (Fremantle), Tim Houlihan (West Coast Eagles), Mitch Bosley, Cameron DeVisser (Sacred Heart OC), Ben Casley (GWS), Ben Dowdell (Crows listed), Todd Pfeiffer (North Adelaide) (Tom Redden (Keith / Glenelg), Xavier Watson (Port Magpies), Daniel Bass (Power listed). OUT: Brent MacLeod (Vic), Mitch Sandery (Retired), Adam Cockshell (Port Magpies), Sam Livingston (Vic), Nathan Lyons (Vic), Andrew Horne (Vic), James Turner, Andrew Carter, Daniel Trevena, Steve Woods. GLENELG They were eliminated at the first hurdle by the Panthers when they locked up in the Elimination Final, just one part of a horrid year at the Bay which saw Kris Massie replace Mark Mickan part way through the year as senior coach of the Tigers. The first item on the agenda was to replace the players that packed up and left, a list that was rather long and included some long serving players such as Trevor Cranston, the Kane boys and Luke Panozzo. So Massie and Co went shopping. A mix of ex-AFL and country based talent have lobbed in at Brighton Road, including former Hawthorn defender Riley Milne and former Power player Jason Davenport who transferred from West Adelaide. From the country leagues come West Gambier duo Tom Holmes and Tim O'Brien, along with Ballarat FL player Kain Ford. IN: Riley Milne (Hawthorn), Scott Spriggs (North Ballarat), Jason Davenport (Power / West Adelaide), Alex Carey (GWS), Tom Lynch (Crows listed), Joel Coombes (Myrtleford VCFL), Tom Holmes (West Gambier), Lachlan Button (Strathalbyn), Ben Reid (GWS), Riley McFarlane (Kalkee), Kye Chapple (Horsham), Kain Ford (North Ballarat BFL), Ethan Gill (Lucindale), Tim O'Brien (West Gambier). OUT: Danny Meyer (Retired), Alex Grima (South Fremantle), Ben Kane (Sturt), Luke Panozzo (Sturt), Mark Ruwoldt (Angaston), Patrick Knott (Horsham), James Sellar (Melbourne), Lachlan Neale (Fremantle), Jordan Murdoch (Geelong), Lincoln McCarthy (Geelong), Todd Grima (Travel), Chris Kane (Eagles), Trevor Cranston (Retiring), Chad Cornes (GWS), Darcy Arnfield (Clare), Richard O'Grady (Local), Paul Adlington (Returning Home), Daniel Scott-Collins (Local). PORT ADELAIDE The much-hyped unification of the Port Adelaide football clubs was supposed to strengthen the Magpies and the Power. So far that hasn't happened as the Magpies finished sixth on the SANFL ladder, their AFL counterparts almost taking the wooden spoon. Thankfully, losses of key players was not a huge issue. But still, coach Tony Bamford's first order of business for 2012 was to cover the seven personnel losses, among them Terry Milera who was drafted to St. Kilda, Ivan Maric to Richmond and the retirements of Kristian DePasquale and Matthew Lokan. Callum Wilson comes into Alberton from the West Coast Eagles along with Adam Cockshell who transferred in from South Adelaide and two former Sydney players in James Brain and the returning Ben Haren. IN: Adam Cockshell (South Adelaide), Callum Wilson (West Coast Eagles), James Brain (Sydney Reserves), Brendan Ah Chee (Power listed), Ben Haren (Sydney), Ryan Mackenzie (North Ballarat), Cade Wellington (Ocean Grove). OUT: Terry Milera (St. Kilda), Michael Clinch (North Adelaide), Kerran Hall (North Adelaide), Ivan Maric (Richmond), Matthew Lokan (retired), Kristian DePasquale (retired), Isaac Weetra (West). WEST ADELAIDE Their 2011 season started with a bang and ended with a thud. After caning the Bulldogs and enduring just a couple of early season speedbumps, the Bloods would slump to seventh on the ladder as those speedbumps grew into dead ends as they took some dreadful poundings, narrow losses and a growing injury list. But despite some big losses in the manpower department for the upcoming season, the Bloods have gained themselves more than enough recruits to cover those losses. Jarrod Silvester, David Piasente, Brad Moran and Mike Pettigrew have departed for retirement or other opportunities. Tyson Slattery and Chris Schmidt return full time for Westies after stints in the AFL, Isaac Weetra transfers in from Port and Joel Tippett is hoping for a partnership with brother Kurt if and when he is demoted from the Crows. IN: Paul Ellisiou (Western Australia), Dean Poynton (Victoria), Campbell Smith (Port Pirie), Jack Noonan (SHOC / Glenelg), Joel Tippett (Gold Coast), Michael Still (Werribee), Nick Westhoff (Richmond / Returning), Adam Luitjes (Returning), Duncan Cragg-Sapsford (Returning), Simon Dean (Returning), Anthony Skara (Returning), Brad Crouch (Mini Draft – Crows) Chris Schmidt (Crows / Returning), Tyson Slattery (Essendon / Returning), Taite Silverlock (Essendon / Returning), Isaac Weetra (Port Magpies). OUT: Jarrod Silvester (Work/Vic), Michael Pettigrew (West Perth), Chris Moliter (Local), Ryan Anderson (Local), Michael Shearer (Local), Steven Morris (Richmond), David Piasente (Retired), Brad Moran (Retired). NORTH ADELAIDE Consistency was the big issue for the Roosters in 2011, but the seven wins they achieved last year were against big scalps including the Bulldogs and even the eventual premiers! Only a march up the ladder will be acceptable for the Menzies Avenue faithful in 2012. With the likes of Cain Ackland, Nick Gill and Daniel Motlop leaving the club and others heading into the AFL, the Roosters hierachy would have had their work cut out for them to fill the void created. But some rewards have been reaped, with Daniel Currie and Lewis Johnstone coming in from the Sydney Swans, Josh Coulter and Sam Baulderstone have returned to the club and Amateur league players John Boxer and Craig Jamar have signed up from A1 premiers Gaza and Goodwood respectively. They've also taken in some transfers from other SANFL clubs, including Michael Clinch and Kerran Hall from the Magpies. IN: Daniel Currie (Sydney), Nathan Blee (Power listed), Danny Butcher (Power listed), Nick White (Central), John Boxer (Gaza), Michael Clinch (Port Magpies), Kerran Hall (Port Magpies), Lewis Johnstone (Crows listed), Luke Davey (West Gambier), Stuart Hill (Eagles), Sam Baulderstone (returning), Josh Coulter (returning), Craig Jamar (Goodwood). OUT: Nick Gill (Work), Cain Ackland (Retired), Phil Davis (GWS), Tony Armstrong (Sydney Swans), Todd Pfieffer (South Adelaide), Andrew McIntyre (Work), Daniel Motlop (Meninge), Justin Clarke (Brisbane). STURT Well... what can be said about Sturt? Just five wins, their best effort was against the Eagles in Round 3, after that everything just fell to pieces. Luke Norman has departed... enter Seamus Maloney. The 2002 premiership captain has taken on the big job and along with it, high expectations. The bulk of the 2011 side is still around, with Brad McKenzie and Jeremy Johncock leaving for other pastures. The Double Blues have secured the services of players coming in from other SANFL teams, most notable are former Tigers duo Ben Kane and Luke Panozzo. Brendan Littler comes in from the Redlegs and from Ovens & Murray league club Wangaratta comes Daniel Boyle. The only way is up. IN: Ben Kane (Glenelg), Luke Panozzo (Glenelg), Josh Jenkins (Mini Draft – Crows), Sam Kerridge (Mini Draft – Crows), Paul Cahill (St. Kilda), Brendan Littler (Norwood), Daniel Boyle (Wangaratta). OUT: Brad McKenzie (Kangaroos), Luke Norman (Senior Coach), Jeremy Johncock (SAAFL) SEASON HIGHLIGHTS Night football is well and truly king in SANFL football, now Gliderol Stadium joins the game with its installation of new light towers which the Tigers will use to host four matches in the early half of 2012. Along with fixtures at other venues, there is a total of 21 night games confirmed for this season. There could be more toward the end of the regular season with the last two rounds kick off times listed as TBA. Friday Night Mayhem is what will kick off the year, the Eagles returning to Thebarton Oval to face the Magpies under the new lighting system on Friday March 23. South Adelaide will have three night games, the first against the Bloods in the other Round 1 contest on the Saturday of that same weekend. Playford Alive Oval and Gliderol Stadium will have their nights in Round 2, the Dogs hosting the Redlegs and the Tigers facing the Bloods on Saturday March 31. City Mazda Stadium will play host to a Thursday night fixture when the Bloods play the Bulldogs in Round 3, while Coopers Stadium will open its Friday night footy account in Round 6 when the Redlegs host the Roosters. The Grand Final re-match will again venture away from its traditional home of Adelaide Oval due to the ground's ultimate revamp ahead of the 2014 football season, so the Eagles will now face the Bulldogs at the Unleash Solar Oval in Woodville on Wednesday April 25 at 3:10pm. The season will go for 24 rounds this year, mainly due to fixture alterations involving the 2012 Foxtel Cup which will again not involve our top five clubs from 2011. The Magpies, the Bloods and the Panthers will represent SA in the state league club championship series, the most notable fixture being the Panthers facing current champions Williamstown at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in May. The 2012 Finals will begin on the weekend of September 15, with the Grand Final on the first weekend of October. INTERSTATE MATCH -- new venue, new coach The SANFL has seen fit to take this year's contest against the West Australian Football League to Gliderol Stadium in Glenelg on the last weekend of May, following in the Victorian and WA league's concept of playing interstate games on state league grounds. Current Woodville-West Torrens coach Michael Godden has taken on the role of senior coach, replacing the outgoing Darel Hart. This match will mark the return of representative football, which was placed on hiatus in 2011 when SA was due to face the Big V in Melbourne. So that's it folks... let the final countdown begin! ROUND 1 Friday March 23 @ 7:40pm Woodville-West Torrens vs. Port Adelaide; Thebarton Oval Saturday March 24 @ 7:10pm South Adelaide vs. West Adelaide; Hickinbotham Oval, Noarlunga All other teams have a bye. Bring on Season 2012. Until next weekend... see you at the Footy! P.S. I will be missing in action for Rounds 2 & 3 because I'm off on holiday. Sorry folks!

Left the hotel with the intentions of swinging by Graceland for a quick photo then over to Beale Street and the National Civil Rights Museum. I had to make things quick as I had to be in Branson, MO by 5pm. Well, I arrived at Graceland only to be met with a fee just to park. I didn't want to tour the place, just get the token photo of the house. Well, in the scale of important things American's should do in their lifetime going to Graceland fell in the ranking compared to the National Civil Rights Museum. So I did a u-turn, took a quick photo of the
I found the city to be filled with an amazing amount of culture and nostalgia. The river walk drive (not sure if that is the name) along the Mississippi was beautiful. A quick turn into the city and you are immediately immersed in the city culture. Tall buildings and the hustle of a city. But it was a manageable feeling, not overwhelming like NYC can be. Another turn a few hundred feet into the city and you are taken back to the 50's, street cars and all. The store fronts and architecture kept their nostalgic feel as I drove through what appeared to be the starving artists district, for lack of a better term. Made another turn down a side street and came upon the museum.
A protester to the museum was sitting on the opposite corner of the museum. I was immediately drawn to the woman due to her "Gentrification" sign (see photo, once I have a chance to get it uploaded). She felt the city could be using the funds more humanely by helping the community of Memphis with more affordable housing and food for the hungry. Have an affinity to help those in need for food I sympathized with her efforts. She also felt that they were defaming the name of Martin Luther King by having "parties" in front of the spot he was slain. She even showed me some photos if what looked like some frat boys with beer bottles sloppy drunk and dancing in front of the Lorraine Motel. I completely agree with her, that is sacred land that should not be used as a backdrop for drunken idiots who probably don't even know the significance of the location.
But, I was not sure if I agreed with regards to the museum. I wanted to learn more in depth information about the civil rights movement. So I chose to cross her protest, pay the entry fee and soak in as much as I could. It was
I am absolutely putting Memphis on my must visit again list and so should you! Every American should walk through this museum and gain a better understanding of what really happened during the civil rights movement. It is so hard to understand that people could harbor so much hatred for someone because of the color of their skin. But, it also gives a better perspective of just how far we have come. We will have a president presiding over us shortly that less than 50 years ago could not even sit where he wanted in a restaurant, or even use the same bathroom as a white person. Now he is in the most powerful position an American can hold. Yay!!!
I then got on the road and took the scenic route to Branson. It was about a 5.5 hour drive through winding roads in the Ozarks. Beautiful but dizzying. There were these "flea markets" all along the way, which were just over sized yard sales with a ton of junk. I guess since they really don't have stores in this part of the area they just exchanged junk with one another. I didn't really have the opportunity to stop and take photos, there weren't any shoulders on the road, and there was either a ditch or a cliff side next to me. But the Ozarks are beautiful. I arrived at Jack and Joann's, ate dinner, then was whisked away to a "show," which apparently is what you do in Branson. We went to "The Duttons," a very large Mormon family that puts every member of the family to work - HA, just kidding! But they did have all, I think, 17 grand kids on stage. Jack & Joann are good friends with them so we had the opportunity to chat with them for a bit after the show. They are lovely people that are very talented. I just couldn't believe how wholesome the show was. It was just the family members demonstrating their talents, singing, dancing, playing the violin, etc. But no cursing, lude behavior, or crass remarks. Unfortunately, I could not relate. But I think the other 700 patrons that were over 70 enjoyed themselves.
I slept well last night and expect to again tonight. I am not sure if I will hit the road tomorrow or stay one more day. I enjoy my time with Jack & Joann and hate saying goodbye. So I may wait till Monday. I will be heading to Oklahoma then to New Mexico and Arizona. I am disappointed to find that there really are no hostels until NM, and they may not even be along my route. So I may be staying in hotels more than I would like.

So far, 2013 is shaping up to be the year of small business here at AppDirect. Just two weeks ago, we announced the launch of the Staples App Center, an innovative online marketplace where small business owners can find the software tools they need. Today, we're excited to announce the launch of UpwareTM from Comcast Business, another pioneering marketplace that will enable even more SMBs to find powerful software solutions to help them succeed.
For many of our partners, creating a marketplace that's easy to use is always top of mind. For Comcast, however, ensuring a first-class experience for its customers has been one of the major forces driving the entire project.

Afterall, that's one of the primary benefits of using a marketplace, and with the AppDirect platform, we've succeeded in doing just that.
This shared vision for ease of use and a best-in-class user experience is evident with every click of the mouse at the Upware marketplace. Now, Comcast Business customers can purchase and manage a range of applications—such as Box, YouSendIt, Websense, Carbonite, and others—more easily than ever before.

*"Dear God, We paid for all this stuff ourselves. So thanks for nothing."
--Bart Simpson, saying grace*I have a secret. It is a dirty, nasty little secret that I am deeply ashamed to have kept for so long. Here goes:
I don't like Thanksgiving. There. I said it. Now let me explain:
First of all, I'm Canadian. Thanksgiving was a month-and-a-half ago.
Secondly, I'm not a fan of shopping--this holiday seems to have more to do with buying stuff than anything else.
Finally, in the same way I don't like being told when and how to have fun, I don't like being told when and how to appreciate my loved ones, on a predetermined date, (accompanied by predetermined menus and levels of drunkenness).
Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld addressed the ridiculousness of all this in the "Festivus" episode of Seinfeld. If you've ever been fed up with too-much-holiday, I prescribe it as a remedy.
Call me a Grinch. I'm fine with that. The Grinch had a super cute dog.
Which brings me to the point: This weekend, after two days spent in bed watching episodes of Lost with Renzo (my sister's puppy, and my charge for the weekend), I cobbled together some friends, made dinner and had a dance party. It was, in a word, effective, and made me reflect on those things for which I am thankful.
Left: My thanksgiving achievement - Chicken roullade with bacon wrap and sausage stuffing. Right: Renzo, helping me with work.
I thought I'd share with you those that related to relationships, sex and dating.
So thanks to...
What are you thankful for, sex/relationship/dating-wise?

Guitar Pedals and Goat Strings
Shanir Blumenkranz's extensive contribution to the world of radical Jewish music can only be compared to Robbie Shakespeare's formative influence on reggae. Blumenkranz plays on numerous projects issued by the Tzadik label — so many of them, in fact, that his recognizable style of bass playing is virtually inseparable from the sound has come to define so many of Tzadik's Radical Jewish Music projects, including Pharaoh's Daughter, Pitom, Edom, Rashanim and Kef, among others. He has closely collaborated with label's producer, John Zorn.
So it is particularly exciting to see Blumenkranz in the role of band leader. With guitarists Eyal Maoz and Aram Bajakian, as well as Kenny Grohowski on drums, Blumenkranz has released "Abraxas: Book of Angels 19," a set of compositions penned by Zorn. Exchanging his usual electric bass for gimbri — an acoustic African instrument with three strings made of goat skin — Blumenkranz propels his ensemble with raw and intricate rhythms.
In contrast with the previous "Book of Angels" rendition by David Krakauer — a darkly whimsical, phantasmagoric record defined by its androgynous plasticity — Blumenkranz's album is an all-male, three-guitar-and-drums, no-nonsense affair. Most of the tunes apply a jazz approach to the hard rocking, heavy metal sound. Many tracks are danceable, and yet the impulse towards rocking out goes hand in hand with abstraction, a collision of textures and colors.
Dark Angels of the Jewish Subconscious
Unlike their pudgy, cherubic, church-tending counterparts, in Jewish mythology angels are not what you'd call angelic. Ominous and conflicted, with a penchant for irony and obscure turns of phrase, they are messages from the personal and collective subconscious for us to wrestle with. These angels create the parameters of our formative and deformative moments. Perhaps it is in such a context that one might understand "The Book of Angels," a collection of scores penned by avant-garde composer and saxophonist John Zorn. A number of musical groups have tackled these compositions; the latest encounter is David Krakauer's "Pruflas: The Book of Angels Vol. 18," released on Tzadik Records earlier this year.
David Krakauer is among the world's foremost klezmer clarinetists. He has worked with diverse collaborators, from the neo-classical Kronos Quartet to legendary funk trombonist Fred Wesley. What he brings to this date, in addition to a virtuosic treatment of the score, is the ability to extract from his clarinet sounds one indeed associates with dark corners of the subconscious.
Thank you!

and variations of this where in five separate e-mails this morning. In each case i had to explain that I hadn't as I am way behind.
One of the reasons is because I have to spend a lot of time each week writing appeal letters on insurance stuff, food stamp stuff, and Social Security stuff. Case in point is today I am having to write several letters on different things. One of which is to Social Security.
Back a couple of months ago Social Security sends me an application to fill out to see if we qualify for assistance paying my Medicare Part B. Currently they deduct $100 from my small disability payment each month to pay for Medicare Part B. So, having that $100 bucks back would be huge to us.
We fill out all their paperwork. Spend another hour on the phone talking to a very nice guy from Social Security in an office in Arizona going over all sorts of things. Had to also get Karl to not only dig out a bunch of boxes so that I could find what they needed, but to also fax tax records from 2010 for us over to this same office to correct old information they had.
All together spent about five hours on this project up until today.
Today they deny us saying Sandi earned over 19k in wages at Wal-Mart this year. I wish!!!
Actual figure--from January 1, 2012 to this date-- is $7,549.89.
I have no idea how they came up with 19k. This happened despite the fact they verified again and again that she had been out on unpaid medial leave since May 5, 2011 all the way to July 5, 2012 due to her knee surgery and then cancer.
So, the real figure ---that they missed by over 11k and change ---is $7,549.89. Figure won't change much --if at all--as she is out on UNPAID medical leave now and not getting better.
Writing appeal letter to SS office in McKinney, Texas and providing proof via pay stubs of her actual income and medical status via doctor orders. Hopefully, somebody up there can fix this screw up and finally get us the help we need.

I'm a believer of... If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right
Whilst I must admit i've had to adapt my driving due to today's road condition the wheels and tyres stay where they're supposed to... IN the arch Like already mentioned. It's been done PROPERLY
My backside is fine, thanks for your concern
Is there a mole on this forum????
Lol, It may seem that it took a little while, but i just got you reg plate.
you have 20" alloys wheels.
so what do you do for the spare, is it kept in the sunken base of the boot or slung underneath and gets dirty. i'm thinking the bigger alloy maybe harder to house. I appreciate the overall circumfrence / diameter maybe the same but on the other hand, 20" is a big step up from what would have been standard fit.
The 225/30 20 is actually smaller in circumference than the 235/35 19 used for 19" ryms
What's a spare wheel
The stereo was fitted so that I had music to listen to whilst I wave to all the audi/vw drivers as they pass me by on the side of the motorway

Playstation Cross Buy PLEASE HELP!!!!!!
OK, so here's my problem.
I have a PSN account, Stalpph_Staca. I am also the master account of a sub account, which is my sister Bole_Patrol. I play on the PS3, and her PSN account is registered with her Playstation Vita.
I recently bought Playstation All Stars Battle Royale for the PS3. I found out about the Cross-Buy feature also, so I figured it would be a good idea since she could get a copy as well for her Vita free of charge.
Now, usually the deal with sub-accounts is whatever the master account buys, the sub account can play them as well. I know this from experience. So, following this same rule, I enabled the Cross-Buy feature on the MASTER account, figuring that the sub account would be able to play it also. After it finished downloading, I tried to copy it over to the SUB ACCOUNT's Playstation Vita system.
It says I need to sign in with the account that downloaded the game to play it.
So essentially, I have this game just sitting there and I can't even play it.
If anyone else has had this problem, whether with Playstation All Stars: Battle Royale or a different game with Cross-Buy capabilities, please please PLEASE help me. I really don't want to go and spend $50 on the PS Vita version when I know I don't need to.
So, long story short:
I bought the PS3 game.
I downloaded the PS Vita version on my MASTER ACCOUNT.
I went to play it on my SUB ACCOUNT.
It won't work.
Thankyou very very much for any help I can get!

These very painful muscle spasms have been occurring for 20 years, not continuously but they start up at inopportune times and last for days. No muscle relaxants or pain killers work for me. I am desperate for relief!
Is There Any Chance of Getting Botox Injections for Muscle Spasms in my Middle/upper Back?
Doctor Answers 2
Botox for Muscle Spasms in Mid Upper Back
This sounds like a pretty severe problem you are having and it would be great if Botox would work. However, this would be an off label use and you would be advised to see a specialist in Physical Medicine who commonly deal with these problems. A brief PubMed search under "botulinum toxin back pain" pulled up a lot of studies of this treatment. The results were inconclusive and more studies were recommended to see if Botox can be recommended for myofascial pain treatment. I have placed a link to one review. A specialist in physical medicine will be able to interpret all these studies and have the technical expertise to administer botulinium toxin if it is indicated.

Rene Ranger isn't fazed by Greg Bird's reputation as a brawler on the field ahead of their December 15 Fight For Life showdown, saying he would rather "flick over to Shortland Street first" before watching the league hardman.
The Taniwha rugby great expected Bird to come out swinging in what Ranger believes will be a tough fight - a challenge he hopes he is ready for.
"It's pretty tough, for myself I'm a laidback sort of guy and I try not to take things too seriously but probably come day you'll be switched on after you get a few thwacks in the head," said Ranger. "He's a bit of a brawler on the field as everyone says.
"But, end of the day it's just two guys slugging it out, like on the rugby field, but it's not 15 against 15: it's one-on-one.
"We're smashing each other up just to help out that cause of prostate cancer, it's all about having fun," said the bustling outside back.
"We're not serious boxers, full credit to the serious ones, but you know they do some hard work and hard yards, but for us it's a bit of fun and about that cause."
Nearly one month into his boxing career, Ranger is yet to research his aggressive opponent fully after having only accidently come across him on YouTube.
"I think I was looking up league hits and he was one of the guys who did one of the hits; other than that I don't know too much about him.
"I do watch a bit of league, but you know I'm not the one to flip over to league first thing, I'd flick over to Shortland Street first.
"I heard he's a hard man so it'll be a good contest."
Ranger said the challenge had been not only in learning how to box, but also managing two sports simultaneously with pre-season training for the Blues starting on December 10.
"It's a bit hard trying to jiggle the boxing training with the rugby because I'm trying to do the rugby training in the morning and then I've got boxing in the afternoon ... you get home and you just want to crash out."
Ranger said Blues coach John Kirwan was excited at the prospect of seeing Ranger put himself out there for a good cause, with the bonus being extra pre-season training for the three-test All Black.
During the season Ranger said he has had little contact with All Blacks coach Steve Hansen over the season but the two have exchanged words.
"During the season just gone he gave me a few heads up on what to work on ... just general stuff, like work rate, skills, option taking, stuff I already know. I guess it's a just a matter of me working on them."
Ranger said being selected for the All Blacks again was a goal of his, but concedes there is a lot of talent coming through.
However, with the Fight For Life less than three weeks away Ranger will be focusing on getting in the ring to learn what he needs to do to win.

Deal All,
the biprobit estimation gives a parameter (rho) accounting for
correlation between the residuals: is there a way to get additional
details on this corr, i.e. like a matrix for the corr between the
residuals of a biprobit? the vce option is only related to the coefs.
Thanks a lot

I herd and adviced about steeming one ( like in shops ) with a long tube like the vacuming cleaner and that for large peaces of cloth and ordenary ironing but i have no idea about names and still using an old one name NIKAI
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I herd and adviced about steeming one ( like in shops ) with a long tube like the vacuming cleaner and that for large peaces of cloth and ordenary ironing but i have no idea about names and still using an old one name NIKAI
If life gives u scraps make a quilt
There have been many discussions on irons, so I suggest using the search feature and maybe you will get even more useful information. I have a Black and Decker Digital Advantage and I like it. My Rowenta sits in the closet. It spits!!
I have bought cheap irons on recommendations from this board and have bought expensive irons on recommendations from this board and they all broke after a couple of years...I think we as quilters use our irons a lot more than normal folks so they don't last as long. I too hate the auto shut off and when I can find one without, I just plug it into the socket that is controlled by my light switch so when I leave the sewing room, the light goes off and so does the iron! Right now I have a Sunbeam that I got rather cheaply but it's driving me crazy--it wants to shut off while I'm ironing! I have to move the iron a certain way or it doesn't register that it's being used but I like it because it has great steam! I also have a Continental Platinum that does not have steam holes and I used that for paper piecing and applique. I also have a Rowenta Steam iron (the kind with the separate reservoir and the most expensive -- around $200). I've had it a while and it works great except that the gasket to the reservoir wears out and I can't find any place that sells them , so I've been using that one for special occasions... One thing I can say about it though is that it doesn't leak or spit--I think the separate reservoir is the key.
So my recommendation to you is to weigh everyone's recommendation and then buy what you want with the features you need and don't expect it to last forever no matter how much or little you pay for it
I have more irons than sewing machines - and that's saying alot
My favorite is an old no steam, no teflon that belonged to my best friend's Mom and I'm closing in on 76.
I have the same advantages on one I have from The Vermont Country Store.
I keep an old coke bottle with a sprinkler top filled with water should I need to dampen when I'm ironing.
The cordless iron doesn't get hot enough
The Rowentas are awful except for their travel iron.
The Sunbeams and Black and Deckers work fine.
I have a darling little red Bohin iron (French) that came encased in see-through plastic - never used, never even took it out - I just like to look at it.
After my Rowenta experiences I would never spend alot of money again on an iron.
I was planning on buying an Oliso for the same reason. I bought a B&D and there is no light telling me whether it is on or off. Then, my mom found 2 other irons (both with lights). So, I'm set.
The little bitty pointy irons are, of course, accessory irons, but what wonders they are. Leave a few dollars to buy one. They are great to use right at the sewing table and priceless for opening seams. DO NOT TRUST THE IRON HOLDERS THOUGH. Find a ceramic tile to lay the iron on.
Bad Spellers of the World
Thanks everyone.....I am going to go look at a Rowenta....only because it's on sale for $99 and I get 30% off....but after reading all the comments I am not so sure that would be a good buy......hmmmmmm
There was a discussion about this on this thread not long ago. I remember because several other people noted that they didn't like auto-shut off either (I hate it). You might want to look that thread up, too.
(¸.´(¸. (¸.´¸¸.¨¯`.¸¸.♥ rebecca
Would you elaborate on the special treatment you give the Rowenta to avoid it spitting and leaking? Mine has just started to do that....and it's very annoying!

A revolutionary new concept in joint therapy supplements! An artificial molasses flavored oral supplement formulated by veterinarians and horseman for the growing horse and equine athlete to help maintain healthy joints. Sodium Hyaluronate: Sodium Hyaluronate plays an important role in a number of physiological functions, including protection and lubrication of cells, maintenance of the structural integrity of tissues, transport of molecules and cells, and fluid retention and regulation. It is present as a constituent in all body fluids and tissues. Chondroitin Sulfate: Chondroitin Sulfate is a glycosaminoglycan found naturally in the joints an connective tissue, which helps produce and protect cartilage. It interferes with enzymes, which destroy cartilage molecules, and enzymes, which prevent nutrients from reaching the cartilage. Chondroitin is part of proteoglycans, which give connective tissue it's strength and flexibility. Glucosamine Sulfate: Glucosamine Sulfate is a natural substance found abundantly in all tissues, largely in the cartilage where it plays an important role in its health and resiliency. It is one of the major building blocks of articular cartilage and of synovial fluid. Glucosamine is greater than 90% absorbed because the molecule is smaller. Also, glucosamine sulfate stimulates the production of glycosaminoglycans (hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate) and prevents continued erosion of the cartilage. High Concentration: The high concentration of product in Chondrogen EQ not only allows for a once a day serving, but also gives the horse owner the piece of mind that its horse is benefiting from the highest levels of oral glucosamine available.

Double bergamot earl grey tea
A blend of premium black teas and 100% pure bergamot oil
100% natural ingredients
Stash Premium Double Bergamot Earl Grey Black Tea is a blend of premium, 100% natural black teas and 100% pure bergamot oil (double the amount as in their regular earl grey tea). Many other earl grey teas use a mix of bergamot and other citrus oils, but Stash insists on 100% pure bergamot even though it's more expensive. Smooth and aromatic, the bergamot imparts a light citrus note.

Bundle Packing
Fit All Your Clothes In One
Bag (Without The Creases)
You are now ready for the inner core items. Place theses items in the center of the stacked clothing and begin wrapping the arms of the sweaters and shirts up and over the top of the bundle. They should resemble the petals of a flower closing over the center core items. Be careful to smooth out the sleeves once more as you fold them over the top. The jacket sleeves will be last and require the most attention to detail. Do not overstretch the jacket sleeves; this will only stress the shoulder stitching on the jacket. Instead, gently drape the jacket sleeves over the top of the bundle.
Handling the bundlePlacing the bundle in your bag is just as important as how you wrap the items. Be sure to have your bag open and ready nearby. Scoop up the bundle with both hands and arms — yes, arms. You'll want to keep as much of the bundle together as you place it in the bag to avoid having to start all over. You will also want to lower the bundle straight down to prevent the jacket lapels from folding over. Once inside the bag, you may add shoes or a shaving kit bag (water tight, of course) to the side to help secure the bundle before you close it up.
pack up, get goingUnpacking a bundle is as easy and efficient since each item is removed in reverse order from smallest to largest. If you do encounter some wrinkles along the way be sure to run a hot shower and hang the items in the bathroom once you arrive. The steam will take care of the rest.
The second best aspect of using the bundle technique is the organized efficiency it forces you to follow. Because you'll have to lie out each piece of clothing to sort and then build the bundle, you'll know exactly which items you've remembered and those you have to add before packing the bundle in your bag.
Do you have any packing tips of your own? Share them below in the comments box.

I assume this will work for any detector, but the wiring might be slightly different. I've now seen a V1 and an Escort 8500 mounted this way.
Here's a link to some pics that someone else took of a V1 install.
For the BEL 985 (and I would assume any other BEL detector), get the straight, as in not coiled, power adaptor cord. I recommend using the L shaped plug and cutting off the straight one. I left about 2 ft. of cord attached to the L shaped plug in case I ever wanted to move the detector.
If you look at the pictures of the V1 install above, you can see that there are 3 wires running to the mirror assembly. Splice the black w/ white stripe wire from the detector power cord into the blue wire for power. Splice the black into the black for ground.
I ran my wire out the front of the headliner. I'll post pics tomorrow.

How u going to withdraw
Avatar challenge with sleepyj 3-0
don't know yet,getting copy of lisc. copy of credit/debit card and their form filled out first and send it to them..i whish they could just put it on the card where it came from
You have to prove those cards belong to you. They steal credit cards, run up huge tabs. They aren't dumb. Especially off shore. They are legit. Every time you use a new Credit Card you will have to do the same thing.
thanks..i don't think there will be a problem....when I put up money it comes right out of my checking acct.
They are trying to protect you.It's just SOP for any offshore. Once you have it done it will be on file. Wait until next Monday and you will get a free payout form 5D.
I thought their verification process was pretty simple. Scan a copy of a few things to them and was verified less than an hour later.

Feb. 20, 2013
Here's a quick look at how the Vols and Lady Vols competed in Wednesday's morning preliminary sessions, plus who to watch for tonight.
MEN'S 500 FREESTYLEWho's swimming tonight?
Sean Lehane - B Final - 4:21.39 (13th)
Ryan Signorin - C Final - 4:23.45 (21st)
Sam Petersen - C Final - 4:23.49 (22nd)
Notably, all six of the Vols who swam the 500 freestyle posted lifetime bests by two seconds or more. Additional UT swimmers included Ben Miller (4:24.87, NCAA B cut), Bryce BeVier (4:26.59) and Trevor Leland (4:31.51).
Lehane, who has emerged as one of the Vols' top swimmers as a freshman, will swim in his first individual final tonight, as will Signorin. Lehane's time of 4:21.39 is the 8th fastest in Tennessee program history.
WOMEN'S 500 FREESTYLEWho's swimming tonight?
Lindsay Gendron - A Final - 4:36.71 (1st)
Caroline Finkbeiner - C Final - 4:51.30 (22nd)
Gendron, a standout freestyler at every distance, broke her own school record by more than two seconds, swimming in 4:36.71. It was an NCAA automatic qualifying time and the fastest time in prelims. The 500 freestyle final is shaping up to be a star-studded race that includes 2012 Olympians Allison Schmitt of Georgia and Cammile Adams of Texas A&M.
Finkbeiner will be making her final debut individually this evening with the 22nd fastest time. Grace Ann Sanderson was the only other Tennessee swimmer in the race (5:02.72).
MEN'S 200 INDIVIDUAL MEDLEYWho's swimming tonight?
Tristan Slater - A Final - 1:44.01 (7th)
Drew Peterson - C Final - 1:49.35 (24th)
As a freshman last season, Tristan Slater became the Vols' top individual medley swimmer. He's retained that title this year. While the 400 IM might be his better of the two events, he got the time he needed to reach the A Final in the 200 IM in an NCAA B-cut time of 1:44.83.
In his first year as a Vol, Peterson is into his first final by swimming 1:49.35. He transferred to Tennessee from Rider last year, where he was the team's top IMer.
WOMEN'S 200 INDIVIDUAL MEDLEYWho's swimming tonight?
Amanda Carner - C Final - 2:00.64 (21st)
Molly Hannis - C Final - 2:01.11 (23rd)
The Lady Vols got two swimmers into the evening finals with Carner and Hannis both set to go in the C Final. It will be Carner's first individual final appearance. For Hannis, primarily a breaststroker, this will hardly be a new stage. She swam the 200 IM at last year's SEC Championship, but 2:01.11 was a career-best time.
Anna DeMonte just missed the finals, swimming 28th in 2:01.70. Maddie Hahn was 2:02.79, and Brooke Watson was 2:04.62.
MEN'S 50 FREESTYLEWho's swimming tonight?
Ed Walsh - A Final - 19.68 (5th)
Oystein Hetland - B Final - 20.01 (12th)
Troy Tillman - B Final - 20.03 (16th)
Gustav Aberg Ledjstrom - C Final - 20.05 (18th)
Jacob Thulin - C Final - 20.14 (21st)
The Vols will be well-represented in the 50 freestyle finals tonight. Walsh has established himself as one of the top sprint freestylers in the SEC and dropped a career-best time of 19.68 in the prelims, good for fifth best in the field.
Hetland is in the B final after nearly breaking 20 seconds (20.01) and will be joined in the field by Tillman, who earned a spot in the field after winning a swim off against Max Grodecki of Missouri after they had identical times of 20.03. Tillman was faster the second time, swimming in 20.00.
Aberg Ledjstrom and Thulin rounded out the Vols' five-swimmer contingent in the evening finals, both making the C Final. Tennessee had two other swimmers who did not make the evening field: Chris Sadsad (20.57) and Renato Prono (21.27)
WOMEN'S 50 FREESTYLEWho's swimming tonight?
Faith Johnson - A Final - 22.02 (1st)
Caroline Simmons - A Final - 22.94 (4th)
Harper Bruens - B Final - 22.50 (11th)
Kelsey Floyd - B Final - 22.60 (15th)
Cherelle Thompson - C Final - 22.97 (21st)
Like the men, the women also placed five swimmers in the finals of the 50 free. The Lady Vols recorded two of the top four times in the prelims with Johnson and Simmons. Johnson's time of 22.02 is an NCAA automatic qualifying time and the second-fastest time in program history.
Three of the five Lady Vols in the finals are freshmen. Bruens is in the B Final (22.50) and Cherelle Thompson is in the C Final (22.97). Floyd, primarily a butterflier, has put together a strong season in the sprint freestyles, the 50 in particular. She is in the B Final tonight (22.60).
Other swimmers for UT included: Kate McNeilis (23.15), Lauren Solernou (23.41), Arden Pitman (23.53) and Heather Kiger (23.82).
WOMEN'S 1-METER SPRINGBOARDWho's diving tonight?
Tori Lamp - 299.45 (2nd)
SEC finals are increasingly becoming the norm for Lamp, who took home the bronze medal in the 3 meter competition Tuesday night. Last year, she finished second on the 1 meter and 3 meter before taking gold on platform, her signature event. Tonight she is the second-seeded diver on 1 meter (299.45) and very much in the mix for a medal.
Senior Jodie McGroarty missed the championship round by just two points, finishing ninth in 283.00. Freshman Samantha Lera took 12th (271.30), meaning all three Lady Vols scored for Tennessee again in diving.

Okay, let's explain this to ourselves as if we're five-year-olds.
Churning money on Wall Street makes nothing of value.
Printing money at the Fed feeds nobody.
A corporate merger, in and of itself, is intrinsically worthless.
And a bailout of a failed company or bank just punishes viable competitors.
Spin the money all you want; without the sweat of the worker, or some other energy input, it all grinds to a halt.
According to Paul Volcker, this is something Wall Street didn't know.
Mr. & Mrs. America, your money and jobs are going, going... gone. So, what are you going to do now? More importantly, what will your children do in General Electric's Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow?
Will your children be prisoners of the banking system too?
We need to force change. Not slogan change - real change. Read no further if you like the fairytale of the politicians making everything better.
First, please raise your hand if, by now, you don't realize that collateralized debt swaps and obligations, and other sophisticated (Ha!) derivatives, are nothing more than subterfuges for the Biggest Con every perpetrated, a masterpiece that continues today unabated.
No hands? Just you over there at Goldman Sachs? We don't need or want you.
Second, digest this: There is no free lunch in the absolute worlds of physics, economics and politics. You get what you put in. That's right, there's no such thing as a perpetual motion machine or a wind-up Obama that produces change without an ounce of fuel.
Is it the Internet's virtual world that has somehow convinced us that words are enough to get us what we want?
Yes, it was easy to be seduced by the election narrative of the new transformative leader. But, now it's time to grow up, dear parents.
Blogging and moaning on websites this piece included is nothing compared to forces so powerful they put the fix in for their con with nearly every politician and agency in Washington, DC.

I have a program that reads directories and assembles a file describing the data within - the purpose is to create a list of files on a server so that these can be entered into a database to keep track of the data. Strangely it's started setfaulting when I try to run it on one particular directory. The directory structure is as follows:
On the dodgy directory it fails on group1/file2, at this point in the code:Code:/data/group1 /data/group1/file1 /data/group1/file2 ... /data/groupN/file1 ...
The error can be tracked to that point by the crude method of debugging with printf. If I run it through gdb insted I get:Code:struct dirent **epsz; // array of directory names char subpath[256] = {0}; // dame of subdirectory (e.g. group1) goes here p = scandir(subpath, &epsz, zipcheck, alphasort); // zipcheck returns only zip files in the directory if (p >= 0) { int mc; for (mc = 0; mc < p; mc++) { char filename[128] = {0}; strcpy(filename, epsz[mc]->d_name); // accessing epsz[1]->d_name segfaults. There are 8 files in the directory. } }
...which doesn't mean much to me. If anyone can suggest how to investigate further I'd be interested to hear suggestions - thanks.Code:Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x0000000000400e6c in main () (gdb) backtrace #0 0x0000000000400e6c in main () (gdb) x 0x0000000000400e6c 0x400e6c <main+1172>: 0x48008b48

Salvador Dali, Israel, & the Twelve Tribes of Israel Print Series
November 13, 2012
Time: 6:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.
Location: Cook Auditorium, GR Art Museum
A Lecture by Dr. Sheldon Kopperl
Professor, Grand Valley State University
Although Dali returned to his Roman Catholic roots and became more devout after World War II, his interest in the State of Israel is shown his execution of two series of prints for Israel's 20th and 25th anniversaries (a series called "Aliyah, the Rebirth of Israel"). This latter series, "The Twelve Tribes of Israel," represents the Biblical descriptions of the tribes combined with Dali's unique surrealism and politics in light of this series of prints. We shall also look at the Biblical sources for the images.
Doors Open at 5:30 p.m.

When planning a meeting or event, there are lots of important details to track: venue, food, transportation, attendees, and more. With so many details to look after, it can be easy to forget one. Unfortunately, many event planners consider IDs an afterthought, yet event ID badges are an important part of a successful event. Incorporating ID badges into the early stages of event planning can save you both time and money.
Save Money on Custom Lanyards. Popular at events, custom lanyards enhance the attendee experience. When planning an event, consider ordering your custom lanyards early in the planning process. Ordering lanyards early will increase your options since some low cost custom lanyards require a 4-6 week production time.
Before you place the order for your custom lanyards, take time to think about the appropriate lanyard attachment for your event. Consider the types of activities you have planned for attendees and whether or not a breakaway feature is important.
Save Time with Data Setup. When you design your event ID badge early in the planning process, you're able to collect attendee data to accommodate the badges. If you know what information you want to display, you can organize the information accordingly. For example, you can create separate columns for first and last name, instead of grouping them together in your spreadsheet. This will save you time when you're ready to print the event ID badges!
Save Time at Registration. When you have all your ID badges complete ahead of your event, you'll be able to make the registration process fast and efficient for event attendees. Organize the completed badges so they will be easily accessible when registering attendees. Also be sure to pack ID badges in a travel case that is easy to transport and won't move your badges out of order.
By incorporating your event ID badges early into the event planning process, you'll not only save time and money, but you'll save yourself stress, too!

Planning a meeting or event can be very stressful. There are lots of little details that you have to follow and lots people with questions about every detail you've thought about and some you haven't. Providing identification for all your attendees is vital to the success of your event (learn more about event IDs in this blog post), but it can be a lot of work, too.
Creating ID badges for an event has several steps:
- Print name badges
- Assemble badges in badge holders
- Organize badges
- Attach lanyards
All these little steps can become a big obstacle to your planning if it doesn't go smoothly!
We wanted to make it easier for our customers when they plan events, so we created the new EZ Meeting Kit. The kit simplifies your event planning by combining all the necessary ID badge items into one easy order. My favorite item in this kit is the travel case which allows you to organize and sort all your badges ahead of time and transport them easily to your event location.
Sometimes, even the best made plans can fall apart, and the last few days (and hours!) before an event are extra crazy. If you need additional assistance with your event preparations, call the IDville team. Send us your attendee list and name badge design, and we'll print, assemble, and organize the badges exactly how you need them. We'll ship the completed badges directly to your event venue, too, so you don't even have to worry about packing them.
EZ Meeting Kit for your next event to reduce prep time and stress so you can enjoy the event, too!

text: On Wednesday, Jose Antonio Vargas spoke at the Senate Judiciary Committee's hearing on immigration. Vargas told the panel that immigrants "dream of not being seperated from our families and our loved ones, regardless of sexual orientation, no matter our skill set." He went on to remind them that "this government has deported more than 1.6 million people, fathers and mothers, sons and daughters in the past four years." At one point Vargas just had to break it down for the committee made up of 18-members and remind them immigrants aren't "alien people from Mars." "We talk about immigration and enforcement as if we're talking about alien people from Mars and not people whose lives and families are being torn apart everyday."

By the authority vested in me, pursuant to part II, Article 44 of the New Hampshire Constitution, on June 21, 2012, I vetoed SB 356, an act limiting the authority of delegates to Article V conventions and recodifying the laws relative to religious societies.
SB 356 makes changes to New Hampshire laws regarding religious societies. I do not take issue with that portion of the bill.
SB 356 limits the authority of state delegates who participate in a convention called by the states for the purpose of considering amendments to the United States Constitution. This legislation has been brought forward because proponents of a balanced budget amendment to the United States Constitution see this as an important tool to limit the authority of delegates, were such a convention ever to occur. The bill is similar to model legislation promoted by the Balanced Budget Amendment Task Force, of New Smyrna Beach, Florida.
SB 356 requires every delegate from New Hampshire at an Article V convention to take an oath, which in part states, "I will accept and will act according to the limits of the authority as a delegate granted to me by New Hampshire law, and I will not vote to consider or approve any unauthorized amendment to the Constitution for the United States of America." Any delegate who violates the oath is subject to recall and criminal penalties under the law.
Regardless of one's viewpoint on a balanced budged amendment to the United States Constitution, we can agree that a convention to consider amending the constitution through a call of the states is not imminent. If we reach the point in our history when such a convention were to occur, it seems that would be the appropriate time to consider process issues for delegates. And even then, I would hope, New Hampshire would act with caution before applying potential criminal penalties to duly appointed or elected delegates.
For these reasons, I am vetoing SB 356.
