Writing stories and talking on the radio. Boom! Riveting, I know!
So I'm the worst backseat driver known to man. As a former truck driver, and professionally trained, I know what happens as a result of tailgating and just not paying attention. Which leads me to a female co-worker, also known as, 'THE WORST DRIVER ON THE PLANET!
So many videos lace the net with pictures of crashing, banging, and more crashing. I feel like 100 years from now half of the internet will show nothing but Russian dash cam videos. Half of the internet I tell ya!
As a society we are in such a rush, it's rather ridiculous, annoying if you will. Take a ride down any major thoroughfare and you'll see what I'm saying.
I have to be honest here, I spent last night watching the first two seasons of The Walking Dead until 4a.m., so I'm a bit drowsy. I need a pick me up, stat! 'Summertime Is Great' is exactly what the doctor ordered!
And here I'm struggling to make a dollar out of fifteen cents and this random ass couple in VA is winning millions like it's no big deal. I kind of hate them, frankly!
Black market drugs, child porn, just another day in East Greenbush? What in the world is wrong with people?
You know summer is close when Mayhem gets announced. SPAC, heat, beers and an insane pit- Now you have us on-board! Q-Ruption baby!
DWI, aggravated DWI involving a child under 16 and endangering the welfare of a child are a just a few of the charges a mother is facing after allegedly driving drunk with her kid in the car.
Yolanda Vega and the New York State Lottery are headed to Glens Falls to present a check to a lady who was lucky enough to purchase a winning scratch-off ticket netting her $7.5 million!
How would you feel if cameras were located in your doctor's office? I'm not talking the waiting area either. You go into the exam room get undressed and look up, noticing a camera perched near the ceiling. How would that make you feel? Let's take it to the next level.
The following verbiage is proof positive why I do not, and refuse, to become a mobile DJ. I don't even care that the cash is sick and there's a good chance many-a-lady want to 'hang' with you after an alcohol infused party. None of that matters to me and here's why.
I'm at my wits end with people on Facebook. I know, I know, first world problems, but seriously. The grammar-spelling-properly constructing a sentence-paragraph and/or thought police have gotten way out of hand. Like, waaay out of hand!

John J. Sheehan, the retired Marine Corps general who declined the White House's invitation to serve as "war czar," explains his decision and warns that the administration's strategic "shortcomings" will not benefit from the creation of such a position.
Sheehan writing in the Washington Post:
The day-to-day work of the White House implementation manager overseeing Iraq and Afghanistan would require a great deal of emotional and intellectual energy resolving critical resource issues in a bureaucracy that, to date, has not functioned well. Activities such as the current surge operations should fit into an overall strategic framework. There has to be linkage between short-term operations and strategic objectives that represent long-term U.S. and regional interests, such as assured access to energy resources and support for stable, Western-oriented countries. These interests will require a serious dialogue and partnership with countries that live in an increasingly dangerous neighborhood. We cannot "shorthand" this issue with concepts such as the "democratization of the region" or the constant refrain by a small but powerful group that we are going to "win," even as "victory" is not defined or is frequently redefined.
It would have been a great honor to serve this nation again. But after thoughtful discussions with people both in and outside of this administration, I concluded that the current Washington decision-making process lacks a linkage to a broader view of the region and how the parts fit together strategically. We got it right during the early days of Afghanistan—and then lost focus. We have never gotten it right in Iraq. For these reasons, I asked not to be considered for this important White House position. These huge shortcomings are not going to be resolved by the assignment of an additional individual to the White House staff. They need to be addressed before an implementation manager is brought on board.

As we reach the midway point in Game of Thrones season 4, it's good to look back on where the cast came from. With Sansa, played by Sophie Turner, married, and Arya, played by Maisie Williams, becoming a cold-blooded killer, it might be fun to see how they were before Game of Thrones. Above is the released video of Turner and Williams' audition videos for the HBO show that would catapult them to stardom.
Isn't it adorable?

There was a post on this forum recently to the effect that if the only gas appliance in a rental property is the boiler, you don't need a Gas Safety Cert.
Is this true and if so can anyone cite the legislation/regulations which say so?
Thanks in advance to anyone who knows definitively (and reveals it).

Child in Need- June 13
Here is a child from the Brainerd area who is waiting for a Kinship Partner Mentor. Samantha has been waiting for 6 months.
Samantha will be fourteen in July and she is delightful. Like many teenagers Samantha wishes to foster a connection to her community and be more involved.

Samantha's father died when she was six, and she has a hard time getting along with mom's boyfriend. The ideal mentor would be someone who is able to be consistently there for her and willing to listen.
Kinship Partners serves families in Crow Wing County, southern Cass County and the Staples/Motley area by providing positive role models to youth from the ages of 5 to 14. We have offices in Brainerd, Pequot Lakes, Crosby and Staples.

West Virginia's official website recently got a makeover, based off citizens' and state employees' suggestions, that allows for easier access to government services.
With the same "robust content as prior versions," the site makes finding information easier with several new features:
The redesign was completed at no expense to taxpayers, according to its press release, and is the result of a public-private partnership between the state and West Virginia Interactive. West Virginia Interactive is part of eGovernment firm NIC's family of companies.
New York City adorned Times Square with giant quick response (QR) codes last week in a multi-agency initiative called The City at Your Fingertips.
While most of the QR codes direct scanners to websites for more information, some promise a free ringtone or chance to win tickets to a Times Square viewing of the Tony Awards. NYC Media is the agency behind the effort.

A top minister slammed Malaysia's taxi drivers Wednesday, saying they were more of a problem for the tourism industry than the nation's notoriously filthy toilets.
"The complaints by tourists about the taxi drivers' behaviour are more than toilets now, so in that context the taxi drivers are worse than dirty toilets," cabinet minister Nazri Aziz said.
"People are complaining about the taxi drivers overcharging, being impolite and not using their meters, forcing the tourists to bargain with them," he told AFP.
"This is the third-world taxi driver mentality. Even in China now, taxi drivers can no longer (haggle), they just have to take the passengers, no questions asked.
"It's not that all taxi drivers behave like that, it's just a small group of them but that is already giving Malaysia a bad name," said Nazri, who is minister in the prime minister's department.
Complaints about taxis are common the world over, but it has become a hot topic in Malaysia where frustrations are vented on blog sites and in letters to newspapers.
In a survey by the local magazine The Expat last year, some 200 foreigners from 30 countries rated Malaysia the worst among 23 countries in terms of taxi quality, courtesy, availability and expertise.
The respondents lashed the fleet as "a source of national shame" and "a serious threat to tourists - rude bullies and extortionists".Reuse content

Marital Violence: An English Family History, 1660-1857

Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
Mai 2014
BeschreibungIn a time before divorce was generally accepted and husbands assumed the right to beat their wives, Elizabeth Foyster examines the variety of ways in which men, women and children responded to marital violence. This issue raised central questions concerning the extent of men's authority over other family members, the limitations of women's property rights, and the problems of access to divorce and child custody. Although opinion about the legitimacy of marital violence continued to be divided, Foyster demonstrates that beliefs determinig intolerable or cruel behavior had changed significantly by the nineteenth century.
1. Rethinking the histories of violence;
2. Resisting violence;
3. Children and marital violence;
4. Beyond conjugal ties and spaces;
5. The origins of professional responses.
PortraitElizabeth Foyster is Lecturer in History at Clare College, Cambridge. She previously published Manhood in Early Modern England: Honour, Sex and Marriage (1999).
Pressestimmen'... Marital Violence is an excellent work, it would grace anybody's library especially if their specialist subject is among the listed ones of gender studies, feminism, social history and family history. I enjoyed reading it and it is worth reading for its own sake.' Open History 'As well as revising previous analyses of wife-beating Marital Violence also addresses some of its little-studied and disturbing features ... with flair, sympathy and intelligence, Foyster has moved the field far beyond current platitudes and given historians of interpersonal violence, family relationships and gender new avenues of research to explore.'

Different bill, different backers, different reason for its defeat. Same result: In California, it's still too hard to fire and suspend teachers for serious offenses.
A bill by Assemblywoman Joan Buchanan of San Ramon that would have streamlined the teacher discipline process passed the Assembly last month but failed to get by the state Senate's Education Committee this week. Echoes of the failure of last year's bill by Sen. Alex Padilla of Pacoima that would have made it easier for school districts to fire teachers but died in the Assembly Education Committee.
The Buchanan bill, AB 375, was supported by teachers' unions, while school administrators tended to like its goals but considered it weak and disliked its requirement that teacher dismissal hearings be wrapped up in seven months.
By contrast, the Padilla bill, SB 1530, was killed by pressure from teachers' unions on committee members.
One of the committee members who declined to vote up or down on the Buchanan bill was Sen. Carol Liu of Glendale.
Last year, L.A.-area Assemblywoman Betsy Butler abstained from voting on the Padilla bill, and the ensuing controversy seemed to cost her dearly as she lost a close race for re-election to fellow Democrat Richard Bloom.
These bills grew out of the Los Angeles Unified School District molestation cases.
Nearly a year and a half after those scandals began, the state Legislature still is tying the hands of school districts that want to get rid of teachers accused of inappropriate sexual or violent behavior.
Let's hope lawmakers with kids' best interests at heart will try again.

One out of two is scratched.September 14, 2013
I ordered two of these and one was scratched, so not only could I not use the beads to make the earrings that I was waiting to make, to sell online. but I am eating the cost, because it would be more expensive to send them back then to keep them. I will not purchase these again. This is the third bead, in the order that I made, that I can't use. Will reconsider purchasing from Art Beads Again.

There are not many bigger names in the poker industry than Viktor "Isildur1" Blom, Gus Hansen and the famously aggressive Tom "durrrr" Dwan, yet since the re-launch of their beloved Full Tilt Poker, they have literally been shipping money from their bank accounts.
In total the three of them have lost $3.3 million in the month since the site was re-launched. Of the three of them, the biggest loser has certainly been Gus Hansen who has dropped a staggering $2.2 million, with Dwan next with a loss of $780k and Blom just over $300k.
Their Losses Boost Sulsky!
Whilst they all keep struggling, one player who has had a magnificent year is Ben Sulsky. He is known as either "Sauce123" or "Sauce1234" depending on whether it is PokerStars or Full Tilt he is playing, and has made profits of more than $4 million during 2012 at the highstakes tables.
In fact, Sulsky is responsible for most of Dwan's losses in the last month, as the pair have regularly been locking horns on the 2-7 Triple Draw tables at FTP.
This means that Sulsky is now odds on to become the leading profit maker for the year, with him probably wishing it doesn't end. If he carries on in this vein he could easily smash the $5 million mark by the end of this month.
With regards to the "Professionals" they will probably be hoping that the New Year comes quickly, especially Hansen. Each of these players used to dominate the high stakes tables back in 2009 and 2010 with them all turning themselves into multi millionaires, yet it seems the tide is changing and they are starting to give back what they won.
Blom Down $3 Million On FTP!
Full Tilt Poker was where Viktor Blom made his name and his money, with him earning more than $5 million from the site in the days where he was still an unknown and mystery player. However, records show that he has given all of that money back to the site and is now in fact down a good $3 million throughout his time spent there. We are not sure exactly how deep his pockets are, yet he will certainly be wanting and needing a big upswing in his fortunes at FTP.
Perhaps he can win $100k from Tom Dwan tomorrow as the pair have lined up a special heads up confrontation on Full Tilt Poker, with the each player staking $100k a piece and the winner being the one to walk away with it all.

Kenseth, you have been such a big help so far thank you for your patience.
I did a little more experimenting today and seem to be making a little progress. It seems to be shooting a little smoother with the air pressure up and I have been over-reducing it as well.
I guess maybe I just don't know what phases should look like what. On the spec sheet it says recommended 3 coats and each coat can be shot after 5-10 minutes of drying time. Now, my issue is that I guess I really don't know what each coat should look like.
I'm starting to realize that it doesn't really get a good glossy smoothish texture until you get a real thick layering of it on there. Maybe I just need to get 3 good solid coats on there before it will smoothe out? Shoot I shoot a rough base coat then 2nd coat kind of medium then 3rd on to smoothe it out, or do I lay thick coats every time?
I'm such a newbie to this.
The other issue is I seem to be getting overspray dust on other parts of the hood while I am working across it and I think this is severly affecting when I get to that part. When I look at the hood in the light, it just doesn't look uniform throughout, it looks rough in some spots and smoother in others.
I will take some pics in a bit after it dries for a little visual to go by.

Diane Feinstein's Conflict of Interest in Iraq

Feinstein's Conflict of Interest in Iraq
North Bay Bohemian, January 24, 2007
Title: "Senator Feinstein's Iraq Conflict"
Author: Peter Byrne
Web Link
Student Researcher: David Abbott, Amanda Spigut, and Ann Marie O'Toole
Faculty Evaluator: David McCuan, Ph.D.
Dianne Feinstein—the ninth wealthiest member of congress—has been beset by monumental ethical conflicts of interest. As a member of the Military Construction Appropriations Subcommittee (MILCON) from 2001 to the end of 2005, Senator Feinstein voted for appropriations worth billions of dollars to her husband's firms.
From 1997 through the end of 2005, Feinstein's husband Richard C. Blum was a majority shareholder in both URS Corp. and Perini Corp. She lobbied Pentagon officials in public hearings to support defense projects that she favored, some of which already were, or subsequently became, URS or Perini contracts. From 2001 to 2005, URS earned $792 million from military construction and environmental cleanup projects approved by MILCON; Perini earned $759 million from such projects.
In 2000, Perini earned a mere $7 million from federal contracts. After 9/11, Perini was transformed into a major defense contractor. In 2004, the company earned $444 million for military construction work in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as for improving airfields for the US Air Force in Europe and building base infrastructures for the US Navy around the globe. In a remarkable financial recovery, Perini shot from near penury in 1997 to logging gross revenues of $1.7 billion in 2005.
It is estimated that Perini now holds at least $2.5 billion worth of contracts tied to the worldwide expansion of the US military. Its largest Department of Defense contracts are "indefinite delivery-indefinite quantity" or "bundled" contracts carrying guaranteed profit margins. As of May 2006, Perini held a series of bundled contracts awarded by the Army Corps of Engineers for work in the Middle East worth $1.725 billion. Perini has also been awarded an open-ended contract by the US Air Force for military construction and cleaning the environment at closed military bases.
In 2003 hearings, MILCON approved various construction projects at sites where Perini and/or URS are contracted to perform engineering and military construction work. URS's military construction work in 2000 earned it a mere $24 million. The next year, when Feinstein took over as MILCON chair, military construction earned URS $185 million. On top of that, the company's architectural and engineering revenue from military construction projects grew from $108,726 in 2000 to $142 million in 2001, more than a thousand-fold increase in a single year.
Beginning in 1997, Michael R. Klein, a top legal adviser to Feinstein and a long-time business partner of Blum's, routinely informed Feinstein about specific federal projects coming before her in which Perini had a stake. The insider information, Klein said, "was intended to help the senator avoid conflicts of interest." Although Klein's admission was intended to defuse the issue, it had the effect of exacerbating it, because in theory, Feinstein would not know the identity of any of the companies that stood to contractually benefit from her approval of specific items in the military construction budget—until Klein told her.
Feinstein's husband has profited in other ways by his powerful political connections. In March 2002, then-Governor Gray Davis appointed Blum to a twelve-year term as a regent of the University of California, where he used his position as Regent to award millions of dollars in construction contracts to URS and Perini. At the time, he was the principal owner of URS and had substantial interests in Perini. In 2005, Blum divested himself of Perini stock for a considerable profit. He then resigned from the URS board of directors and divested his investment firm of about $220 million in URS stock.1
1. Peter Byrne, "Blum's Plums" North Bay Bohemian, February 21, 2007.
Shortly before my expose of Senator Dianne Feinstein's conflict of interest was published in January 2007, Feinstein, who had declined to substantively comment upon serious allegations of ethical misconduct as reported in the story, resigned from the Military Construction Subcommittee. I then wrote three follow-ups, including a news column on her resignation, an expose of her husband Richard Blum's conflict of interest as a regent of the University of California, and an expose of Blum's business partner, Michael R. Klein. With Blum's financial backing, Klein, a war contractor, operates a non-profit called The Sunlight Foundation that awards millions of dollars to reporters and government watchdog groups to research government ethics.
In March, right-wing bloggers by the thousands started linking to and commenting upon these stories—agitating for a Congressional investigation of Feinstein. In just two days, the stories got 50,000 online hits. Michael Savage and Rush Limbaugh did radio segments on my findings. I declined to appear on their shows, because I do not associate with racist, misogynist, homophobic demagogues. Fox News' Bill O'Reilly invited me to be on his national TV show, but quickly uninvited me after I promised that the first sentence out of my mouth would frame Feinstein as a neoconservative warmonger just like O'Reilly.
As the storm of conservative outrage intensified, Joe Conason, from The Nation Institute, which had commissioned the Feinstein investigation, asked to have the tag thanking the Nation Institute for funding removed from my stories because, he said, Katrina vanden Heuval, The Nation's editor and publisher, did not want the magazine or its non-profit institute to be positively associated with Limbaugh. I told Conason that not only was I required to credit The Nation Institute under the terms of our contract, but that The Nation's editors should be proud of the investigation and gratified by the public reaction.
The back story to that encounter is that, in October, vanden Heuvel had abruptly killed the Feinstein story, which had been scheduled to run as a cover feature before the November 2006 election in which Feinstein was up for reelection. The Nation's investigative editor, Bob Moser, who worked closely with me on the project from start to finish, wrote that I had done a "solid job," but that the magazine liked to have a political "impact," and since Feinstein was "not facing a strong challenge for reelection," they were not going to print the story. Moser added that there was no "smoking gun," which amazed me, since Klein's admission that he was funneling defense contracting wish lists developed by Feinstein's husband's company directly to the senator, who was in a position to make those wishes come true, was a hot and smoking fact pointing toward corrupt practices. Subsequently, vanden Heuval wrote an editorial praising women leaders of the newly-empowered Democratic Party, including Feinstein: go figure.
I then sold the story to Salon.com, who abruptly killed it right before publication, too. This time the editor's explanation was that "someone talked to the Sunlight Foundation" and that Salon no longer saw the matter as a serious conflict of interest. So, I pitched the story to Slate, The NewRepublic, Harper's, the Los Angeles Times and, by way of experiment, to the neoconservative American Spectator and Weekly Standard. Most of the editors praised the reporting, but turned down the story. I cannot help but believe that, considering the precarious balance of power in the post-election Senate, some of these editors were not eager to critique the ethics of a Democrat. As for rejection by the neoconservatives, I theorize that they secretly adore Feinstein, who has consistently supported Bush's war and homeland security agenda and the illiberal Patriot Act.
So I sold the tale to the North Bay Bohemian, which, along with its sister papers in San Jose and Santa Cruz ran it on the cover—complete with follow-ups. After it appeared, the editors and I received a series of invective-filled emails from war contractor Klein (who is also an attorney) but, since he could show no errors of fact in the story, he did not get the retraction that he apparently wanted. In March, the story crested a Google tidal wave generated by left- and right-wing bloggers wondering why the mainstream media was ignoring the Feinstein scandal. After two dozen newspapers ran a McClatchy wire service article in April observing that no one had found any factual faults in my reporting, the lefty group Media Matters attacked me on its Web site as a right-wing pawn, without even calling me for comment, nor finding any errors in my reporting. I parried their fact-free insults with facts and they were compelled to correct the inaccurate rant.
On April 30, The Hill newspaper in Washington D.C. ran a highly-visible op-ed by a conservative pundit quoting from my story and comparing Feinstein (unfairly) to convicted felon and former Congressman, Duke Cunningham. As the Feinstein investigation gained national traction, mostly outside the realm of the mainstream media, one of Klein's employees at the Sunlight Foundation posted a "critique" of my story, which was loaded with personal insults, but contained no factual substance. Not coincidentally, Feinstein's press office distributes, upon request, a similarly-worded "rebuttal," which insults my personal integrity, finds no factual errors, and does not address the damning fact, reported in the story, that four non-partisan ethics experts based in Washington D.C. found the senator had a conflict of interest after reviewing the results of my investigation.
Also, in April, CodePink and The Raging Grannies held a demonstration in front of the Feinstein-Blum mansion in San Francisco demanding that she return her war profits to the Iraqi people. That was my proudest moment.
Five months after the story was printed, opinion-floggers across the political spectrum continue to loudly ask why the mainstream media has not reported on Feinstein's ethical problem. Some say that the hurricane of opinion raised by the investigation has killed Feinstein's chance for a spot on the Democratic Party's presidential ticket in 2008. Klein has continued to send me e-mails full of verbal abuse, misspellings, and implied threat of lawsuit.
Blissfully, I delete them.

We need to be careful discussing "indefinite delivery-indefinite quantity" contracts. Sometimes falsely and maliciously called "No bid" contracts, they are far more protective of the public purse than a fixed price contract where the scope of work cannot be specified in advance. Ask any contractor about change orders.
I do agree that Dianne "Ban all guns but the one in my purse" Feinstein's ethics seem clouded.

I largely agree with your assessment, but I think many of us forget how we also rely on many UNELECTED leaders who represent powerful institutions, including bureaucrats in the State Dept, CIA, FBI, NSA, Pentagon, law enforcement, judiciary, elite schools, defense contractors, privatized intelligence gathering services, think tanks, foundations, NGOs, United Nations, Federal Reserve and Wall Street.

Blum & Feinstein - Corrupt War Profiteer
From my favorite story:
Why, she would hang on him,
As if increase of appetite had grown
By what it fed on.
Do not, as some ungracious pastors do,
Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven;
Whiles, like a puff'd and reckless libertine,
Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads,
And recks not his own rede.
Their enrichment has come at the expense of every taxpayer in America. And of course it has come with all the help and smiles of the intrenched bureaucrats just looking to have a nice retirement.

I'm uncertain Feinstein will be re-elected.
The next time she comes up for re-election will be November 2012 when she is 79 years old.
FYI: Feinstein is also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).

This is one reason we are at war. To transfer $$ from oridnary taxpayers to billionairs. Wake up. This is obviously a primary reason we go to these type of wars.
The billionairs get tax reductions/breaks. Our grandchildren will be burdened with this for a very long time.
We need a death tax of at least 90% for amounts beyond say 1 million $$ to each child. And no charity deductions over 1 million $$.
The goal should be to repay all of the national debt with death taxes.
Also another source of$$ would be to put in a income tax of at least 75% for amounts over ,say, $250thousand on those who have not served in the military or if their children are not serving in the military.
Another thing to tax much more is the profits military contractors make.

I have an idea...why don't we actually take the oil from Iraq ( the reason so many people think we are there) to pay ourselves back??
Oh yes..I forgot. We aren't actually taking anything from Iraq, only giving and helping.
Except, of course, for those many billionaires we went to war in order to enrich further.

I don't think that the Plum-Fineswine plan included War as a means to an end. However I do think they have taken full advantage of that situation for maximum financial gain.
What their real plan is to have an exclusive contractual relationship with taxpayer money coming directly to this parasitic cabal of ruthless greedy capitalist.
Show me where her actions differ away of this money, greed, and power concept.

As for "took advantage of it financially"..and you believe most people don't take advantage financially of situations? And if you were offered a job that paid double what you make now, you would turn it down?

I didn't vote for her. I despise her and all she stands for. She is a HUGE hypocrite, and works against almost everything I believe in. She is more than ethically challenged, she is ethically disabled and needs to be forcibly retired. I despise elected people who don't get out of conflict of interest situations, even if it is just at the local school board level and a vote on an issue which will make a spouse look good in his job.
My comment was related to the sentiment that somehow greed and capitalism are wrong. Human nature is greedy, and within ethical confines that is a GREAT thing, because if everyone watches out for their own self interest, the whole society improves. Hence my question about "if you were offered a job that paid double".
I completely agree that unethical gain is not worth it. I chose to work in less paying situations because the ethics of the environment suited my ethics better. Though I could have worked in places that did LEGAL, but to my mind horribly unethical, practices, and made about 20% more than I did. But, if I could have made double in an ethical way, I would have jumped ship!!!

I was once a fan of Feinstein's, a long long time ago, but I can't stand her any more. I am so sick of her Blue Dog-ness, her unethical behavior, and her unrepresentative votes. Thanks to her we now have Mukasey added to the list of Bush Administration officials who have thumbed their noses at the Constitution and Congressional oversight. She has become a disgrace to the party and the state. She should run off with Liebermann...they are cut from the same cloth. I thought I heard that she will not be running again. I hope this is true. This would save me the trouble of voting against her. I'd like to put both DiFi and Pelosi out to pasture for the same reasons. They have been self-serving wimps and have been more interested in kissing up to Bush than in doing what they were elected to do. I've seen pictures of each of these women looking up at Bush all moony-eyed...it was totally disgusting and sickening. Both are rich and vote accordingly. They are not friends of the common people nor of the Constitution, judging by their records.

I've done my exhaust mod at 'Torqueflow' in Birmingham yesterday and everything was fantastic.
Guys there put a lot of effort onto all the work they do, very high-standard level of work done. They also give a lot of attention to the customer, making sure they understand what the customer wants. They have their own philosophy to the work they do, they are proud of what they do(they should be) and the price is very reasonable considering the effort they put in to both work and customers.
The reason I chose this shop was because I read only positive review on torqueflow on the internet. Others, they always have a few (or thousands) negative reviews..
It was right choice to go there and get my exhaust done as I am very happy now.
The shop was featured in many megazines before including the BMW megazine, specifically on the 840ci full exhaust system.
Here's link to my exhaust mod - Johnky's Project
They really know what they are doing.
Highly recommended for exhaust mods.

I'm not really looking to start a caliber war here, or to collect opinion, or favorite loads, or what works well on bears, etc. This is about CCW handguns only.
I'm asking, is there any studies/evidence that shows that there is any significant advantage to a particular caliber to stop a determined attacker. Let's consider these rounds:
.44 mag
.41 mag
.44 spcl
.40 cal
.357 mag.
.357 sig
.38 spcl - all variations
9mm - all variations
All variations include bullet type, standard +P, +P+
The major issue is incapacitation time. I.e. how long, how many shots until the guy stops doing what he was doing to make you shoot him.

New construction - Insulate Chase ?
I probably know this answer but I will ask it.
I have a chase that I will be installing a direct vent fireplace in.
Should I insulate it ?
Only if it requires insulation for the heating envelope (example: connected to un-insulated exterior walls)
Generally, you can install fire-rated insulation (not standard insulation) in the horizontal area where the insulated rafters (insulated roof-line) meets the chase.

Using its state-of-the art SmartRF04, a 2.4-GHz radio technology, Oslo, Norway-based Chipcon AS has readied a new reference design platform and RF protocol for wireless devices. Labeled RadioDesk HID (Human Interface Device) platform, the platform consists of a ready-for-production keyboard and mouse reference design using the company's advanced adaptive frequency-hopping (AFHSS) RF protocol. Implemented in 0.18-µm CMOS technology, SmartRF04 includes high-performance RF and analog modules, as well as highly advanced digital signal processing and system design.
"Consumer electronics suppliers are aggressively including low-cost, high-power wireless technologies in devices to enhance user experience, expanding the applications for wireless technologies. The RadioDesk platform is part of Chipcon's commitment to provide low-cost, high-performance solutions to the developers of consumer electronics. The solution will enable manufacturers to eliminate wires in such popular consumer products as media PCs, game pads, remote controls, keyboards and mouse peripherals," says Geir Forre, president and CEO of Chipcon AS.
The RadioDesk keyboard/mouse platform is a production-ready design consisting of a wireless keyboard, a wireless optical mouse and a small form-factor USB dongle. With a competitive BOM, the RadioDesk platform is currently the most cost-efficient solution in the wireless devices market.
Keeping abreast with the market trend toward the adoption of 2.4 GHz solutions both among design houses and consumers, Chipcon has been constantly adding innovative solutions to its product line. The RadioDesk RF protocol has been designed from the ground up to address the most important end-user concerns facing wireless HID developers: robustness, coexistence with WLAN, Bluetooth and other 2.4 GHz devices, long battery lifetime and low latency, said the developer. In combination with excellent blocking performance of the CC2500 radio, the protocol ensures the industry's best coexistence performance. The typical range of the platform is 10-15 meters, much further than what has been possible to date with older 27 MHz solutions.
The reference design is based on the Chipcon CC2500 2.4 GHz RF transceiver. Other key components in the RadioDesk reference design include Holtek Semiconductor MCUs, the Agilent Technologies ADNS-2030 optical sensor and an advanced chip antenna from Fractus. Without the need for any custom drivers, the plug-and-play USB solution is compliant with the USB HID specification.
Chipcon will provide the entire reference design, including PCB layouts and software source code to customers, free-of-charge. The design is easy to customize, allowing customers to add value-added features to their own designs, said Chipcon.

The trailer for Woody Allen's upcoming film Magic in the Moonlight starring Emma Stone and Colin Firth has been released, and the movie promises to be another European-set romantic comedy more along the lines of Allen's films Vicky Cristina Barcelona and Midnight in Paris than last year's dramatic Blue Jasmine, which netted an Oscar for actress Cate Blanchett.
The movie is set in France in the 1920s, promising plenty of beautiful scenery of the French countryside as well as dazzling Jazz Age parties. Stone plays a psychic, who may or may not actually be able to see into peoples' pasts and futures, and Firth plays a firm skeptic of her 'powers,' who also has a night job performing magic tricks in disguise as an Asian magician. As Firth's character — known as "the greatest debunker of fake spiritualists" — attempts to prove that Stone is a fake, the two wind up falling in love. The trailer represents the first details that have been revealed about the film's plot.
The movie plays on details of magician Harry Houdini's life. While Firth's character isn't explicitly based on Houdini, the real magician did dedicate much time and energy to debunking spiritualists and spiritualism in general, something that ruined his friendship with author and spiritualist Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Houdini spoke about his work disproving those who claimed the ability to communicate with the dead in his book A Magician Among the Spirits. The iconic magician inspired future magicians to undertake the same venture. Training in magic allowed magicians to more clearly see the tricks spiritualists used to convince people they were speaking to the dead.
The movie is Allen's first time working with Emma Stone, but it won't be his last. The iconic director has already tapped the actress to star in his next, currently untitled, picture, according to an exclusive report from Variety. The as-yet-untitled movie will also star Joaquin Phoenix and is expected to begin shooting in July, though no plot details are known for now.

This morning's Scripture

Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil.
Psalm 37:8
Yesterday, my child made me so incredibly angry I had to go get in my car and leave. If I didn't, there would have been "hell" to pay for His disrespect and ungratefulness and I was NOT going to be the one accountable for bringin more evil to the situation!
So, I drove and I prayed and I prayed and I prayed!
You see, everything in my life is not a pretty picture, however I've learned to allow the Lord to have control of me along with myself. This way, I don't bring any evil to the situation at hand.
Children need to learn this from their parents. And believe me when I say, "children learn what they live"! The other children they are around and their teachers in school are no exception when it comes to their "learned behavior". Which only means WE, as their parents need to be the people teaching them "good".
IF your children are absorbing undesirable behavior from you, drop your pride, be accountable and change yourself!!
If their learning undesirable behavior from friends or teachers, take the friend out of the picture, explain why. If their learning undesirable behavior from a teacher meet with the teacher, explain your concern AND expectation of them! The Lord gave YOU that child to raise NO ONE ELSE!
Stand up and instill moral's, value's, standard's, respect and common sense in your children so they can be respected, successful, loving and honest adults.
Today-Start parenting your children IN the Lord, allow NO undesirable interference & most importantly BE the example of "self control"!
Have a peaceful day in the Lord my friends!

It's a Kind of Magic
It's a Kind of Magic [pinit]
I think we have a tendency to take things around us for granted. I know it happens to me. The same scenes are always before me and I never give them much thought. Instead, I'm busy looking at photos from other parts of the world, wish I had something as interesting, unique or marvelous near where I live. The folks who get to travel to those beautiful places surely enjoy coming home with some prized photos. Sometimes I wonder if they're as bored with their surroundings as I am. Yet, there are things near me that cause millions of people to visit my home just to see it. To them, it's a kind of magic.
There are a few folks who follow my photography just for the Disney pictures. They count the days until their next vacation when they can return and experience the theme parks and attractions. Until then, they live vicariously through photos online. Sometimes a shot of an iconic scene transcends everything and takes them back to some childhood memories. I get some very cool notes from folks who are just happy to reminisce because my photo took them to a place they love. That's actually a great feeling for me, too.
It's not always easy to get that iconic shot, though. For those of you who don't live here and have an annual pass, you'd be amazed at how many times Walt Disney World screws up their centerpieces by placing a bunch of garbage in front of it. This shot of The Sorcerer's Hat is getting harder to capture because Disney often has a stage in front of it, or something else blocking the view. At Epcot, they fill the foreground before Spaceship Earth with a plethora of large signs for the Food & Wine festival. Cinderella Castle has stage shows every day with set pieces in front, blocking the view of the castle. I think Animal Kingdom is the only place where Disney doesn't put something out to obstruct its centerpiece, the Tree of Life.
So that means I end up going back to the parks every so often, just waiting for the time when these things get out of the way. There's been a rumor for a long time that Disney is going to get rid of The Sorcerer's Hat in Hollywood Studios. I have no idea if it's true, but I can't imagine what they'd put in its place. Maybe a statue of Miley Cyrus.
No matter where you live, there's likely something about it that will bring a smile to someone's face. Try not to overlook it.

Hello all-
I had a beekeeper friend of mine ask me to check one of his three hives. This particular hive started as a package this spring and a month ago was booming. However, he checked it a few days ago and said that there were maybe a 1000 bees in the hive with no brood. I went and checked it yesterday and there were about 10. They were gone. Now, I do believe that he has foulbrood in this hive. I snapped some pictures... Would you guys agree? What does he do about it?
What strikes me as odd was that there was no honey-at all, only a small amount of pollen, and no brood. Even if the queen had died, wouldn't they still collect honey?
The other two hives are in the same location and are doing well - each with 3 supers on.
Thanks for your input!

DHS fact-finding report suggests new tax, ways to keep PD
DESERT HOT SPRINGS, Calif. - Tax revenue could be the answer to stabilize the budget in Desert Hot Springs. The city declared a fiscal emergency in November and it's fought an uphill battle since. The city made deep cuts and continues to deal with a lawsuit because of it. A fact-finding report was released Monday about the ongoing litigation between the city and the Police Officers' Association.
"Fact finding is where you get both sides together so you can find some common ground," said Mayor Adam Sanchez.
The common ground is that Desert Hot Springs needs to do what it can to keep its police department, at least according to the report. It's to address the lawsuit filed by the Desert Hot Springs police officers' association against the city.
The suit is over the average 40% salary cuts taken by officers during the fiscal emergency. The report calls for the POA to accept the cuts while the city takes the necessary steps to find revenue to keep them, rather than contract with the sheriff's department. One of those steps is a special tax to fund law enforcement.
If the council puts a specific tax on the November ballot, the union says the lawsuit could go away.
"Put it on hold and not proceed with it for now and accept the existing cuts, until we can get a funding measure on the ballot," said Wendell Phillips, the lawyer for the DHSPOA.
A solution Phillips said he offered, but the city's attorney, Laura Kalty says otherwise. Kalty sent us this statement:
"The fact-finding report is important in that it confirms the propriety of the actions taken by the City based on the fiscal emergency declared in November 2013. Since that time, the POA has pursued both a preliminary injunction and fact-finding to oppose the cuts, and both the superior court and now the fact-finding panel have found that the City's actions were necessary in light of the fiscal emergency – rejecting the POA's arguments. This is particularly significant because the fact-finding panel includes a member appointed by the POA, and Mr. Royds also agreed that the POA should accept the cuts imposed, and stop fighting the City on this matter. To this day, the POA continues to pursue litigation against the City, rather than work with the City on a solution to the obvious financial difficulties."
The report offers another solution, close the year-and-a-half old Health and Wellness center, calling it a "fiscal drain" on the city's budget. Sanchez said that's off the table because of a new partnership.
"Borrego Community Foundation has stepped up," said Sanchez. "They are now going to move forward with the Desert Healthcare District, and they're going to be able to offset those costs to us now."
Even with the help, the city still needs to find $1.7 million in the new fiscal year. No matter what becomes of the lawsuit, it's clear the city needs to find more revenue not only to fund law enforcement, but to avoid bankruptcy and remain a city.
"We need to have it, especially if we're going to move forward and pay for our policing services in the city of Desert Hot Springs," said Sanchez.
The council must make a decision on whether or not to put a tax on the November ballot, by August 5.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Afternoon all
Still pretty new to this, having started running in Feb with a C25k programme, and now steadily increasing distance and aiming for 10k. Ideally I'm trying to run every other day, or 3 times a week minimum. Problem is, I work 12hr shifts 3-4 times a week meaning I'm out of the house for about 14hrs a day, and I'm tired when I get home.
On C254k this wasn't a problem - I could manage the 20-30mins run after work if I had to, and in the early days of C25k I would run on consecutive days if I had days off work, since the work/effort required wasn't too much. On my 10k programme though, I'm struggling. Each week I'm trying to do 2 of the "Bridge to 10k" runs and one 5k run. I'm currently up to about an hour run/walking, so with the warm up and the walk back to the car (I have a 10k circular route that I love, and the aim is that one day I'll get round it all, but that day is a couple of weeks off yet) I'm out of the house for an hour and a half. It's just not feasible when I am up at 5am for work, usually not home until 8pm, then need to be up at 5 again the next day. When I do have time off I run, but, for example, I had yesterday off, and ran (had a lovely run, 5.5miles in 53mins) and I'm off today, but I'm not sure running that distance 2 days in a row when I'm a beginner is a good idea. I don't ache today but I am tired. Tomorrow I start a run of night shifts but have family duties in the daytime, and I'm away at the weekend (will be hillwalking but no running) so the next possible long run is Monday
I can't be the only one with weird, irregular 12+hr shifts, so how do the rest of you manage? I'd like to see your schedules!
Hi Cara,
I do shift work too. I'm on an oil rig so have 1 week of nights and 1 week of days. Officially they are all 12 hours shifts but the reality is slightly different. Friday I arrive on the rig have 5hours sleep then work a 16 hour shift. Then I have 12 hours shifts until thursday morning week 1. Thursday I have 16 hours off in the day then I work one 12hr shift followed by two 8 hour shifts with 8 hrs off inbetween. Saturday night I have have 12 hours off and work 12 hours every day until thurday week 2 when I work 16 hours then have 6 hours off before I go home.
I know that my exercise plan will be different to yours as I have 14 days of 12 hours shifts but in case it is usefeul this is what I do.
I try to run 3 times a week and cross train other days depending on whats happening. If is very unusual for me to manage more that 8 exercise sessions during 14 days, sometimes I only manage 6
Week 1
friday/saturday/sunday: Usually nothing I arrive on the rig, have lifeboat drills, safety meeting and a special saturday night meal and catch up on my sleep. If I feel very good I will row 2K and cross train for 20 min sunday or have short slow run.
Monday afternoon before my night shift start(or tuesday morning after my shift) I run 5K.. I'm one of the people monitoring the safety of the well and if things are very busy I skip this session to fully catch up on my sleep.
Tuesday/wed12 hours off. Run 5k or 1 hour or cross train for approx 1hour
Tursday 16 hours off. I do the same as tuesday/wed thursday morning. If I wake up very early thursday night I might go to the gym and do something very light.
Week 2 is day shift and there are no extra meeting.
Friday/saturday: Changing from nights to days. no exercise
Sunday/monday/tuesday/wednesday:Run 5k or 1 hour or cross train for approx 1hour. Max 3 runs. Usually 2 runs and 2 crosstrain.
Thusday: Sometimes run 30 min before I start work. work 16 hour shift.
Tiredness is a state of mind!
Do you get the train into work? I do and I get off a few stations early and turn that into a good run..as long as you have good showers at work.
As Melds said there have been several threads on this before and there is loads of good plans/tips on them.
good luck
Hello Cara
I work 121/2 hr shifts for the NHS, so a mixture of nights & days which are unfortunately very irregular too, so I'm all over the place. One of the most important things I think is to get the proper sleep, particularly after the nights. If I've slept well then I don't find the shorter runs too much trouble before or after a shift, but I try and save the longer runs for the completely free days. I think it makes sense to try and plan your runs ahead so you're fully prepared and rested as much as possible.
Good Luck

Twitter Music Stories June 27, 2013
Twitter Music Stories April 18, 2013
Twitter launched its new music discovery app Twitter #music for iPhone today.
Twitter #music takes a step toward filling the void created when everyone migrated from MySpace, which was one of the most effective music discovery tools for me until it was largely vacated.
Twitter promises to "change the way people find music, based on Twitter," per the social network's blog, which I believe will be widely appreciated.

Regarding one of my previous questions about the grafts detaching...To clarify the Dr. said he put a tiny graft on either side of my nose up at the top to connect the side of my nose to the bone. I don't think that was enough to hold it. He used old cartilage from my nose. Nothing artificial and no rib cartilage. After it came undone (collapsed) you could visably see that the side of my nose sinks in. Becasue of that I can barely breathe at all now. My Dr. now won't help me-once said he would

text: Well I would definately put a low profile tonneau cove on if I took it off. I bought the truck used and whoever did the rhino liner did a horrible job in my opinion because it lacks texture. Meaning that it is shinier and smoother than preferred. I've had about 3 rhino liners in all previous trucks so I know this one isn't right. The funny thing that just happened at the tire place (getting the nail out of the tire) is the guy wrote it up as a 2011 suburban. I asked him if he did that because of the cap...LOL He said he just hit the wrong button and knew it was a Chevy 1500, still funny though.

3.8 million dollars later, the Palm Desert library re-opens
PALM DESERT, Cali. - The Palm Desert Library has improved from top to bottom. A new roof, new carpet, fresh paint, even some new energy efficient lighting. Plus, more than triple the number of available computers.
Lyn Manor used to volunteer at the library. He told us, "Really this is a beautiful library, I can't believe how much it's changed over the summer when they started rebuilding the thing. All these computers, there only used to be like ten or twelve, look at them now."
Ruth Dashiel of Palm Desert is also impressed with the new computer expansion. "There used to be only about 15. And now you don't have to wait. I used to have to wait for a computer all the time," said Ruth.
New desks feature built in outlets so you can charged your own computer or electronics while you read.
Waiting to check out could also be a thing of the past with six new automated check out stations installed in the main lobby.
Want proof you returned a book in the quick drop? The new automated check in will instantly give you a receipt as it sorts your media inside. Making the whole experience easier for employees, volunteers, and patrons alike.
There's also a new young adult area, along with new furniture, seating, and lots of new media.
Library assistant Sean Corbin explained the new section to us. "This is the new marketplace area, it's new in the industry and it's very big right now. And, most of the items in the marketplace right now are brand new. New CDs, new DVDs, and new books of course."
That's great news for a library serving more than 20,000 visitors a month.

Originally posted on Awful Announcing | Last updated 1/2/13
New Year's night, a nasty exchange took place between two of the nation's top NFL insiders - Mike Florio of NBC and Pro Football Talk and Jason La Canfora of CBS. It all started when La Canfora reported fired Eagles coach Andy Reid would interview Wednesday with the Arizona Cardinals for their head coach opening. Florio published his own article on Reid linking to reports by Albert Breer and Ian Rapoport that said Reid would interview Thursday. Now, whether or not Andy Reid interviews Wednesday afternoon, Wednesday night, or Thursday morning is of little significance in the grand scheme of things. Nevertheless, this slight discrepancy in reporting set ablaze a simmering feud between the two insiders. Florio felt the need to explain things in his PFT article and on Twitter, and thereby in the process, have a go at La Canfora. He reasoned the team was leaking Thursday to outlets while Reid's agent Bob Lamonte was leaking Wednesday (to La Canfora) to try to get a leg up for his client... "In pointing out these dynamics, we're not trying to pick on LaMonte; we're just trying to peel back the curtain and help the audience get to the truth, whatever the truth may be. With LaMonte representing dozens of head coaches, coordinators, positions coaches, and executives, promoting them for jobs includes manipulating the media, many of whom gladly will rush to Twitter or elsewhere when hearing from LaMonte, without scrutinizing the underlying accuracy or agenda or reasonableness of the information." La Canfora simply had to respond after this very unusual offensvie from Florio. While PFT comes off as a noble outlet only interested in search of the truth, it's a stunning and debatable attack on La Canfora's credibility and the identity of his sources. This isn't the first time Florio has feuded with a fellow media member either, mind you. But I can't ever remember one reporter so blatantly trying to undermine another in this very public way. La Canfora had to respond, and took his shot at Florio reporting nothing on his own and aggregating news from other sources. The two reporters then traded a couple more swings on Twitter... Bonus points to La Canfora for creative hashtag use with that final tweet. Sadly, the fight ended there as Florio didn't respond further and this was declared a no contest. After all was said and done though, Florio added this somewhat passive aggressive note to his PFT article: "It appears that the Cardinals are leaking that the interview will occur on Thursday to employees of NFL Network, and that LaMonte is leaking Wednesday to other reporters." There seems to be an extra bit of venom here you usually don't see in public disputes and Twitter fights between members of the media. These are some fairly personal shots fired between Florio and La Canfora including each man trying to discredit the other's reporting skills by naming agents as sources. You'd need to have your head in the sand to think agents are not involved in leaking NFL scoops to reporters to help their clients in some way. It's part of the reporting give and take behind the curtain as some reporters are closer to certain sources than others. For it to spill into public like this with accusations of agents pulling the strings is an extraordinary set of circumstances.

Guardianship and Conservatorship in Massachusetts, Second Edition
by John H. Cross, Robert D. Fleischner, Jinanne S.J. Elder
Used by bench and bar, this complete practice manual covers the appointment of guardians and conservators of mentally disabled individuals and children. Learn the workings of the system - all the players, rules, and documents that are necessary to do your job well. Devise strategies guided by authors who have "been there" and understand the huge demands on your time. Learn, for example, how to persuade the court regarding difficult questions such as: a person's right to die; whether to medicate for psychotic symptoms; whether to limit or expand a guardian's powers; a ward's right to vote; whether a mentally retarded woman can be sterilized; whether a child should be removed to the custody of the DSS. The material is updated by annual supplements.
