Sarpanch shot dead by suspected terrorists in J&K
The All Jammu and Kashmir Panchayat Conference has blamed the state government for killings of its members.
Srinagar: Suspected militants on Sunday night gunned down a sarpanch affiliated to ruling National Conference in Baramulla district of Jammu and Kashmir, officials said. Javed Ahmed Wani was shot at and critically injured by the suspected militants inside his house in Kreeri area of Baramulla at around 7.40 pm, they said. Wani was rushed to a nearby hospital where he succumbed to injuries. No militant outfit immediately claimed responsibility for the killing.
This is the fifth instance in the last six months in which a sarpanch has been killed in the state. While three sarpanches were killed in September, 2012, another was shot dead in January. The killing of Wani was the second such incident this year. On January 11, sarpanch Habibullah Mir was shot dead in Sopore township of Baramulla district in north Kashmir, prompting Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to order more security to Panchayat heads.
Mir, who was affiliated with the Congress, was shot in the neck by the unidentified militants at his home and died subsequently in a hospital. Several Sarpanches and Panchayat members have been targeted by suspected militants in the border state since 2011. Over 20 panches and sarpanches of Sopore area have quit citing "threats to their lives" in the wake of fresh militant attacks on Panchayat members in the state.
The All Jammu and Kashmir Panchayat Conference (AJKPC) - an apex body of 33,000 Panchayat members - has blamed the state government for killings of its members by militants and asked the Chief Minister to quit if he failed to provide them security. Panchayat members in Kashmir have been demanding security from the state government since 2012 after increase in attacks on them.

According to the report, Be Bothered! Making School Count for Young Carers, the "closed culture" in educational institutions has become a barrier to supporting young carers, who are sometimes punished by teachers that misunderstand their caring roles.
The charity said schools need to take a more proactive role in identifying and helping young carers, whose attendance, behaviour and concentration in the classroom are often affected by their caring duties.
Rhian Beynon, head of policy and campaigns at Family Action, said schools need to step up support for children.
"The report is called Be Bothered! because we think a lot of teachers and schools aren't bothered about what's happening outside the school gates," she said. "That's not the way we're going to successfully tackle the problems with attendance and exclusion."
A survey by the charity, which questioned more than 120 education professionals, parents and young carers, found 72 per cent of teachers did not know the number of young carers in their school and over 64 per cent were unaware of the number of young carers in their classroom.
Young carers involved in the research said they felt stigmatised by teachers, with almost half saying their school work had suffered as a result of being a carer. Only 56 per cent said they felt more supported after disclosing details of their caring role to their school.
Beynon also suggested that an increase in government focus on tackling poor attendance and bad behaviour in schools is aggravating the situation. "Behaviour is a big buzz word around children and young people at the moment," she said.
"A lot of stigmatisation is going on about children and young people, including from government and the troubled families programme, but what we're not hearing with the rhetoric is that there are families out there struggling because they need support."
According to Action for Family Carers, 230,000 young adult carers aged 18 to 24 were identified in 2011, with 61,000 16- and 17-year-olds classed as young carers.

Granite Countertops and Concerns over Radon and Radiation Discussed in New Online Video
The IAQ Video Network releases another educational video about indoor air quality (IAQ), toxins, pathogens or environmental issues.
Granite's durability and decorative appearance have made it a popular building material in many homes and buildings. Any type of rock could contain naturally occurring radioactive elements such as radium, uranium and thorium. Some pieces of granite contain more of these elements than others. If present, these radioactive elements will decay into radon, a colorless, odorless, radioactive gas which may be released from the granite over time.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, "It's important to know that radon originating in the soil beneath homes is a more common problem and a far larger public health risk than radon from granite building materials."
"In addition to radon, the other natural radioactive materials in granite can also emit radiation," reported Paul Cochrane, President of Cochrane and Associates, the company behind the IAQ Video Network and the new public outreach video. "However, it is extremely unlikely that granite countertops in homes could increase the radiation dose above the normal, natural background dose that comes from soil and rocks."

Brackets and Hangers for Post and Beam Construction.....
Post and Beam, joist hangers and brackets, were designed and used in the late 1800's and into the 1900's. Most of the buildings were of the commercial type. Ware houses, carriage barns and cow barns. In northern New Hampshire, and New York State, structures still stand , showing example of the durability of the old style,over built, strong, hangers and brackets.
At the Rocks Estate, in Bethlehem New Hampshire, stands a Carriage Horse Barn, designed by Isaac Elwood Scott, in 1884. The barn and other structures at the Estate are still in perfect shape, as the pictures illustrate.
My own home was built from brackets, I recovered from a horse carriage built in 1910 at the Mount Washington Hotel. I modeled the brackets I have had manufactured from these. With the advent of Stress skin Panels, residential homes can be built that are very energy efficient.
- Recently, it has become common practice to entirely surround the timber structure in manufactured panels, such as SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels). This method has benefits: the timbers can only be seen from inside the building, but is less complex to build and provides more efficient insulation. Structural Insulated Panels are commonly two rigid composite materials usually wood-based like OSB or plywood with a foamed insulation material innard, between either gluing billets as in EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) or formed in place with foaming polyurethane. Another advantage is less of a dependency on extraneous bracing and auxiliary members, minor joists and rafters, as the panels can span considerable distances and add greater rigidity to the basic timber frame.
- Post and lintel, "prop and lintel" or "trabeated" is a simple construction method using a lintel, header, or architrave as the horizontal member over a building void supported at its ends by two vertical columns, pillars, or posts. This architectural system and building method has been commonly used for centuries to support the weight of the structure located above the openings created by windows and doors in a bearing wall.[1] Post and lintel is different than a beam joined between two posts, it must pass over the tops of the supports. Post-and-beam is a general term for any kind of timber framing.

A former Key West Coast Guardsman arrested two years ago in an Old Town "peeping Tom" case appears ready to plead guilty on a child pornography charge, according to court records.
The plea on Tuesday could end a string of back-and-forth motions filed in the past year between Ryan Witten, 27, and federal prosecutors. Most of the motions have been filed by Witten in an effort to get much of the evidence against him tossed by the judge, which have been largely unsuccessful.
Witten is facing a possession of child pornography charge that carries a maximum 10-year prison sentence if he's convicted.
Witten was previously convicted on June 13, 2013, in state court on five counts of video voyeurism and one count of loitering and prowling. Two weeks later, state circuit Judge Mark Jones sentenced him to 60 days in the Monroe County Detention Center, and three years probation.
A federal grand jury subsequently indicted Witten, 26, formerly of 620 Angela St., on one count of possessing a visual depiction of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
Four federal public defender's office attorneys have either been fired by Witten or withdrawn since the case began. He represented himself briefly before his latest lawyer, Jason Grey of Miami, was appointed by the court in January.
Grey could not be reached for comment.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Brooke Watson took issue with Witten's most recent court filing in which he states he mistook four uniformed Key West police officers for carousing "frat boys," that police were investigating him only due to an anonymous tip, and that police illegally searched his backpack without probable cause.
Martinez had not ruled on Watson's petition for him to deny Witten's latest motion to suppress.
Witten maintains that he did not give Key West police permission to go through the images on a camera and an iPhone in his possession after his initial detainment in August 2012 following a foot chase on the 700 block of Whitmarsh Lane.
Officers claim to have found cameras on Witten with more than 100 "suspicious" images of women, many of whom seemed unaware they were being photographed. Some of them were in various stages of undress, according to police reports.
Many of the photos looked like they were taken through windows and fences, officers reported.
Evidence that became the basis of the federal case was unearthed in September 2012 when police found a locked seabag in Witten's BMW.
In the car was an Apple laptop, an external hard drive, 95 CDs, 35 DVDs, 21 VHS tapes, a Black and Decker tool bag, a gym bag marked "Coast Guard Ryan Witten" and other assorted gear, according to a federal criminal complaint filed June 28, 2013.
One of the CDs allegedly contained 30 images of naked children in sexually explicit poses and performing sexual acts, according to the complaint.
"Several of the prepubescent minors were clearly under the age of 12," the FBI agent wrote in the complaint.
There was no evidence in the complaint that any of the minors depicted were local, and no allegation in the complaint that Witten recorded local children.
U.S. District Court Judge Jose E. Martinez is the presiding judge.

Maradona's survival in crucial stage
Page Tools
Doctors treating football legend Diego Maradona will attempt to heal his lung infections and take him off a respirator, with the ensuing 24 hours crucial for his chances of survival.
The 43-year-old World Cup winner has been in hospital fighting for his life since Sunday when he developed severe heart and breathing problems.
His personal doctor, Alfredo Cahe, said his condition has been gradually improving although he was still seriously ill and required a respirator to breathe properly.
"The priority now is to treat his lungs, which became infected when he swallowed his own vomit on Sunday," a medical source told the sports paper Ole.
"Once the infection is under control, the aim will be to take him off the respirator. That process will take a whole day," the source said.
"When the oxygen levels in his blood stream are back to normal the doctors will have him partly on the machine and partly breathing normally. If all goes according to plan, they will then unhook him completely."
Maradona has a history of cocaine use and his weight has ballooned in recent years.
It was shortly after watching his old side Boca Juniors playing in the Argentine capital on Sunday that he became ill.
Maradona's illness has provoked a wave of sympathy in Argentina.
Argentine President Nestor Kirchner was being kept informed of Maradona's condition, his spokesman said. Kirchner said the player had "brought tears of joy to we Argentinians" by his genius on the football field.

BEIJING, Jan. 30 (Xinhua) -- China's manufacturing activity contracted for the first time in six months in January, pointing to a shaky start to 2014 for the world's second-largest economy, showed results of a private sector survey on Thursday.
The HSBC/Markit China manufacturing purchasing managers' index (PMI) for January dipped to 49.5 from 50.5 in December, the first deterioration of operating conditions in China's manufacturing sector since July. The final reading was in line with the 49.6 reported in the preliminary version of the PMI released last week.
A PMI reading below 50 indicates contraction, while one above 50 signals expansion.
According to the survey, the first hint of the national economy's performance, the growth rates in the output and new business sub-indices weakened and companies cut jobs at the fastest pace since March 2009.
Qu Hongbin, chief China economist with HSBC, described the dynamic as "a soft start to China's manufacturing sectors in 2014, partly due to weaker new export orders and slower domestic business activities during January."
Policy makers should pay attention to downside risks and preemptively fine-tune policy to steady the pace of growth if needed, Qu said.
Last week's flash HSBC PMI reading sparked concerns about a slowdown in China's economy and contributed to a fall in the global financial markets.
China's annual economic growth slowed to 7.7 percent in the fourth quarter of 2013 from the third quarter's 7.8 percent, setting the full-year growth at 7.7 percent, slightly above the government's target of 7.5 percent.
Although the headline GDP growth remains stable, analysts expect a further moderation as the focus of the authorities is now turned to forging a more sustainable model and pushing ahead with various reforms.
The government has yet to announce its 2014 growth target, which analysts widely expect to be set at 7 percent or 7.5 percent.

Titles similar to 11/22/63
Like the similarly sprawling Under the Dome (2009), this novel was abandoned by King decades ago before he took another shot, and perhaps that accounts for both novels' intoxicating, early-King bouquet of ambition and swagger. In this distant cousin to The Dead Zone (1979), Jake Epping is living a normal schoolteacher's life when a short-order cook named Al introduces him to a time warp hidden in a diner pantry—leading directly to 11:58 a.m., September 9, 1958. Al's dying of cancer, which means he needs a successor to carry out his grand mission: kill Lee Harvey Oswald so that the 1963 JFK assassination never happens. Jake takes the plunge and finds two things he never expected: true love and the fact that "the obdurate past" doesn't want to change. The roadblocks King throws into Jake's path are fairly ingenious—some of them are outright gut-punches—while history buffs will dig the upside-down travelogue of Oswald's life. This doesn't loom as large as some King epics; on the other hand, did we appreciate It in 1986 as much as we do now? Leave it at this: fans will love it.
High-Demand Backstory: King is his own backstory: demand for anything new will be loud.

This is a story about how an entrepreneur can build an internet business on the side. The business Sean Percival launched wasn't meant to be the next Google. He was just trying to make some money and improve his business skills.
Sean built a site that sold customize European license plates, the kind of plates you might see on cars speeding on the Autobahn or cruising down the Champs-Elysées. As you'll hear in this interview, he spent $12 to buy the domain, customeuropeanplates.com. Then he built the site using a free ecommerce platform. To fill and ship his orders, he partnered up with a company that was already in the business of selling license plates online. And he got customers by teaching himself search engine optimization and developing link partnerships with related sites.
He ended up selling the business — which was profitable — after Tweeting that he was thinking of selling it.
We talked in this interviewed about how he built the business, and how he built up the kind of social capital online that helped him sell his business for about $100,000 via a Tweet.

Are these too big for shrimplets?
32 Attachment(s)
Yes I have one and the holes are bigger than babies body.
Nope I use these on all my tanks but 3. Never had any issues
I don't know the size of those holes. I use H4N's and they are fantastic.
Yeah, they started to sell these at my LFS. I really like the look but then the holes are a bit bigger than I would like it to be. I can definitely imagine a shrimp getting sucked into it still if the filter is really strong.
That is why I want to get some feedback on it :)
I trust it enough I run it on my btoe red tiger and tb tank
I personally feel like smaller batches would get sucked in if you have a powerful enough filter and the other holes are a little clogged. Makes the remaining filter area narrower, thus resulting in a shrimp killer since the holes are definitely big enough.
Some shrimps with say a dozen eggs will have bigger babies in my experience. Ones with say 20+, they have super tiny babies, slightly bigger than that mesh square so I can trust it :(
From what I've seen, the tiniest baby would get sucked towards the mesh but they will always grab onto it and not get sucked in. Been using this on several filters for about 2 years and have not seen 1 shrimp in my filters.
I'll probably get 1 to try out :)
Looks like good enough for shrimplet
The problem is you don't know when the shrimps "adventure" side get switch on
From the pic you could say the shrimp could go inside the net
FYI this thing cost just 2$ from some ebay seller
No need to buy the 10$
Same thing from China
Yeah I got couple of this from HK...and I stopped used it as some of my shrimplets got stuck in the middle of hole and killed as my filter was little too strong. Instead, I just cut off from a sponge and put it on the inflow...
That is what I mean. If you have neos then it doesn't matter. Since they breed like rabbits, chances are you won't notice a few missing here and there. But if you have PRL and TB's which have low survival rates to begin with + this? I am afraid you'll only see 2-3 grow up to be adults per batch of off-springs :(
The sponge as a pre-filter for the canister I have tried before, but didn't like it at all since it clogs up way too fast. Need to clean it out every week and for a tank you don't want to disturb all the time (PRL / TB tanks), that is a lot. Every time you stick your hand in the tank, you risk parameter changes.

Oracle announced today that it is going to cease development for Itanium across its product line, stating that itbelieved, after consultation with Intel management, that x86 was Intel's strategic platform. Intel of course responded with a press release that specifically stated that there were at least two additional Itanium products in active development – Poulsen (which has seen its initial specifications, if not availability, announced), and Kittson, of which little is known.
This is a huge move, and one that seems like a kick carefully aimed at the you know what's of HP's Itanium-based server business, which competes directly with Oracle's SPARC-based Unix servers. If Oracle stays the course in the face of what will certainly be immense pressure from HP, mild censure from Intel, and consternation on the part of many large customers, the consequences are pretty obvious:

UCLA economic forecast says California will outpace nation in job growth
LOS ANGELES - A new forecast says California will continue to outpace the nation in job growth but its uneven economic recovery will leave unskilled workers behind.
The UCLA Anderson Forecast for the third quarter predicts California's jobless rate will be around 8.9 percent this year - higher than the U.S. as a whole - but the gap will narrow over the next two years. Job growth this year will be less than 3 percent but real personal income will increase around 2 percent - slightly more than the U.S. rate.
But forecasters say not everyone in the state is benefiting equally.
Coastal economies with higher-paying investment, technology and trade jobs have been growing, while other areas with a lot of low-skill and manual-skill jobs, such as construction, have been stagnating.

When the venerable Royal Philharmonic Society faced a financial crisis in the late 1920s, Sir Thomas Beecham proposed a plan to form a permanent orchestra for the first time in the Society's 115-year history. It was proposed that the ensemble, to be called...Full bio

When you hear the words "electronic music" what comes to mind? Aphex Twin? Daft Punk? Skrillex? Most likely not late 19th and early 20th century composer Maurice Ravel. Well, maybe it should. This past weekend the Los Angeles based string foursome the Calder Quartet had a concert at the Blum And Poe art gallery titled "Electric Currents," in order to kick off the fundraising for an album of the same name. At the show the quartet played three songs it commissioned from composers who are pushing boundaries when it comes to classical music. One piece featured 8-bit recordings and another used electric accompaniment.
The Calder Quartet has never shied away from incorporating new technologies into its performances, having in the past played "Honey Flyers," another commissioned work, with a robotic cello named "the Boticello." The quartet embraces contemporary music, collaborating with such acts as Adnrew W.K. and the National, but stays true to its classical roots by rooting their performance in the skills developed through studying musical traditions. That's why despite playing the three new pieces Calder finished its set by playing Ravel's "String Quartet." Andrew Bulbrook, one of the group's two violinists, introduced the piece by saying that despite not having computer generated sounds, for Ravel's composition the quartet would be using leather mutes, which during the turn of the 20th century was about as technologically advanced as it got.
If you'd like to support the Electric Currents album you can check out the Calder Quartet's Kickstarter page here.

You are herecontent / Thomas J. Nagy: "Demand that Congress Go to Crawford to Aid Cindy"
Thomas J. Nagy: "Demand that Congress Go to Crawford to Aid Cindy"
Dear Ms. Sheehan,
First, let me express my deep sorrow at the death of your son.
Second, I encourage everyone to demand that members of congress go to Crawford to support you.
Ideally members of congress will bring along moms whose kids were killed by Bushist lies or whose lives were ruined or put at risk risked by the chickenhawk in chief.
Cindy, the congress members must support your demand for an explanation of your son's death from the lead perpetrator of this illegal invasion and occupation, the mad executioner from Texas, George Bush.
It is particularly imperative that progressive congress people such as Reps. McKinney, Lee, and Conyers join you in Crawford immediately. They should also be joined in Crawford Reps. Bonior and McDermott, with whom I visited a water treatment plant in Baghdad, rendered inoperative by US sanctions, shortly before the invasion.
If Congress people like Rep. Kucinich and other progressive democrats as well as the sole independent, Rep. Sanders, act immediately to support you in a meaningful way, then perhaps the Democrats are not beyond redemption.
If, however, large numbers of the democrats t refuse to aid you with even such a minimal, but critical action as showing up in Crawford ASAP then we must face up to an additional challenge to holding Bush and his ilk accountable.
In that case, those of us who believe in peace through justice must realize that such a betrayed by the democrats is likely permanent. In that case, doesn't common sense demand that we abandon the Democratic Party which has so consistently betrayed us?
Are you listing Howard Dean and Sen. Kerry, the active supports of Bush's plan to send even more service members to kill and be killed in Iraq?
The most prominent exception to any wholesale abandonment of the Democratic Party is Rep. Cynthia McKinney. She was robbed of her seat in congress for one term because of her "crime" of demanding peace and justice, even in the Middle East. Happily against all odds, she has achieved and deserves our continuing support.
If even the progressive Democrats won't support you immediately, then let's put our money and energy into the Greens or some other party which possess a backbone in addition to a jawbone.
Finally, let's all urge friends and relatives near Crawford to meet with you and give you their tangible support. We and our relatives and friends should assume responsibility for paying your expenses as well as the expense of spreading the news of your brave testimonial to your son and your determination to end the slaughter of Americans and Iraqis alike.

Here is a copy of my letter about Bush to my Senator.Good Luck.
11 August 2005
Senator Lindsey Graham
101 East Washington Street, Suite 20
Greenville, SC 29601
Dear Senator:
America has a problem. It is clear that President Bush and his group committed fraud on the American people to justify an invasion wanted by Israel, the majority of the US news media, and a few neocons with close ties to Israel. This fraud has resulted in many dead and wounded Iraqis and Americans, a cost to the American people of billions of our dollars, and undreamed-of theft and off-the-books scummy business deals benefiting a select few. Do you think that we are all so stupid that we think saying Iraqi WMD are a danger to the US is the same as bringing democracy to Iraq? Also, Senator, using crudely forged documents to support a lie does not impress us. (Although it was impressive how you punished the poor guy who dared to tell the truth.)
Therefore, Senator, you must make the judgement. Is fraud resulting in death and the destruction of a country as much an impeachable offence as perhaps telling lies about having oral sex with a very willing adult of the opposite sex?
Many of us are fed up with the lies, bait-and-switch, slander, and ridicule being used as damage control for the fraud. We wonder, were all of you part of the scam or are you just supporting the scam to help the Republican Party? Is your loyalty to America or to Bush? The impression is that the Democrats and Republicans both have so much to hide that no one wants to rock the boat and end up in prison.
I have just finished reading a book by Robert B. Stinnett. Stinnett points out that the truth about the Pearl Harbour attack was still hidden from Strom, the Senate, and the American people as late as 1995. Was the Pearl Harbour scam (provoke, watch the attack coming, and use the result to justify war.) used as a script for 9-11 or was it even worse?
What´s next for America, Senator? It is time to impeach! Strom would speak up.
I am a US citizen, Army veteran, an SC voter, and a long time Republican supporter.
Hugh M. Williams, Ph.D.
Wow this is great. When Repulications like you, sir, can see the truth, then I believe there is hope. Let's face it the Republication Party of George Bush is not you party either. Our ( 50 million people can't be all wrong!) fight and Cindy Sheehan's fight is with George Bush and not you. I am sure there are many more moderate Republications like yourself who hate to see this great country of ours in the condition it is. So please talk to your fellow Repulications and join with us to rid our country of this scourge. Obviously George Bush is not going to change so we have three choices of action 1) do nothing..totally unacceptable 2) wait until the elections of 2006 and 2008 or 3) support impeachment now. Sir I implore you to contact your congressional Rep to support the Articles of Impeachment in the house Juduciary and support the efforts of Rep John Conyers and others. thank you for standing up and welcome to the fight.
Your letter inspired me. I wrote both of my senators, today, too. Congress must act! They were lied to before the Citizens were and need to do something quick, before the US gets tricked into attacking Iran, too.
I commend your action and your truth seeking mission. While this administration is trying to talk parents into realizing the benefits?? of their children's service in this pain-in-the-ass, unneccessary, hateful war and encouraging them to sign their kids up - WE SEE THE TRUTH!! And the truth of the matter is that GWB wants to use YOUR kids to quench his unsatiable thirst for blood $$$$ - not HIS children! Just ask Cindy - she personally knows! It's all a matter of integrity; this war has not even a hint of that. What FRAUD on the American PEOPLE!!
This is inspiring. I have written many letters to my elected officials in the last three years and it is always helpful to see examples from others. It gives me courage. Thank you for sharing it.
When ever I read the ramblings of you chicken livered dogooders, I want to throw up. You rectal orifices are always around to cry in your soup since the beginning of time. Thank God my safety in this country is not in your hands. I am only sorry I spent 8 years in the military to allow cowards like you SOCILEST LIBERAL COMMUNISTS to exist. This Cindy Sheehan DISHONORS her BRAVE SONS SACRIFICE in spouting out her selfish stupidity. PRESIDENT BUSH spent time in the AIR NATIONAL GUARD during his early years and could have been called to active duty and possible death just like HER son and hundereds of other mothers sons over the years. Most mothers have sense enough to HONOR there sons death, not DISHONOR IT. SARGENT DEL BOYER, US AIRFORCE.
Thank you for serving your country. I deeply respect your right to feel as you do, however much I disagree with your position. The Iraq war was started by this administration based on lies, which continue to this day. Our military should be used wisely, and not used for a politician's war. Iraq did not cause 9/11. They were attacked by people with an agenda, using the US military to do their dirty work. We need more investigation into the Downing Street Memos, quickly, before we get tricked into attacking Iran.
Please keep your comments civil.
Dear Sergeant Boyer,
I'm sorry that you feel compelled to express yourself in such a vulgar manner. I believe that this conduct is unbecoming of a noncommissioned officer in the US Air Force.
I would like to remind you sir that Cindy Sheehan is questioning the legality of an order given by your Commander-in-Chief. As you well know, it is the duty of all military personnel to ascertain that an order given by a superior officer is indeed lawful. As the mother of a fallen soldier, Cindy has certainly earned the right to inquire as to whether or not a presidental order to invade a soveriegn nation was based on a preponderance of lies.
My brother and I volunteered during Viet Nam. My brother didn't make it back. His name is now on a wall along with 55,000 other patriotic souls who gave their lives in a war based on a mountain of lies and deceit.
I understand your anger. We believed we were at war in Nam for noble reasons. I can't describe the pain when I learned that our leaders had duped us into a senseless and devastating war. I learned the hard way that we do have a duty to question our leaders.
There is substantial evidence now that President Bush was dishonest in his promotion of the invasion of Iraq and that he abused his power as Commander-in-Chief. We would be remiss in our duty as citizens to ignore this evidence. We need to hold President Bush accountable.
I would like to remind you that eleven days prior to Casey Sheehan's death, President Bush was making jokes about the fact that no weapons of mass destruction were found in Iraq. For those of us who have lost loved ones in illegal wars, it is difficult to see the humor.
Jerry Joseph
I also volunteered for duty and was sent to Vietnam in 1970 where I served with the 4th Marine CAG Unit in Quang Tri Province. We were seperated in to CAP units of anywhere to 12 to 17 soldiers and were stationed in villiages to train the locals in defending themselves against the communists. We never lost a village with over 100 CAP units in service.
I couldn't disagree with you more, during that time the ARVN and the villiagers along the Ben Hai river that we helped learned to defend themselves agaisnt the communists with our help and air cover.
Were were pulled out in January of 1971 as part of the downsizing of our presence in Vietnam and after that the villiages were overrun by NVA and most of our friends were raped and slaughtered. Men, women and children. The current crop of peace activists take credit for this and point to it as a great victory in the history of so called "Peace activism". I am glad they take credit for it.
By the way, when you start quoting the number of friends of ours who died there get the number right. There are 58,202 names on that wall. There are also another 2.7 Million people who were slaughtered in Vietnam and Cambodia after we left. All in the name of "Give Peace a Chance"
Sorry about the inaccuracy of the number killed in Viet Nam. That was a typo. I am painfully aware the number is 58,000.
I do understand your point - getting out of that mess was costly and gruesome. My point is that it was an illegal war based on a pack of lies to begin with. I think the Pentagon Papers alone prove beyond any doubt that we were deceived by our leaders. How many of these fiascos do we have to endure before we abide by the constitutional requirement that war can only be declared by Congress? Are you saying that we have no right to question whether or not a leader acted illegally?
What I am saying is that as far as i was told and still believe we were sent there to stop the advance of communism. We did that, of course until we left. I am not a fan of communism, you were there you saw how heartless it was. We left in my opinion because of so called "peace activists". That "peace" cost 2.7 million people their lives while the peace activists talked about how cool they were. I loved Veitnam and the people there, we let them down because of a bunch of people who didn't want to go to war, regardless the reason.
As to how we got there, I don't know. Ask Teddy Kennedy if his brother ever talked about it. I will not however ever think about the war as illegal. I will also never think that the friends who died there did so for some unknown reason. It was to stop communisnm and we did it until we were told it wasn't "cool anymore".
If you want to press your point about congress approving the current war, they did overwhelmingly. So did the senate.
You and I are in agreement about the horrific tragedy perpetrated on the people of Viet Nam.
I have spent 35 years researching how we were led into that war. Last year a documentary entitled "The Fog of War" came out. Robert McNamara, one of the folks who sold that war to us, has some interesting things to say.
In my mind, this isn't about Republicans and Democrats or right and left. Johnson played a huge role in deceiving the public about Nam.
As a citizen I will continue to demand that we abide by the Constitution. There was no declaration of war in Viet Nam and there certainly was no declaration of war in Iraq. The people of the United States are being dragged into wars without representation via our congressional representatives. We have been cut out of the decision making process. It occurs to me that this is how communism, fascism and Nazism work. Our founding fathers were deliberate in assuring that the citizens rather than the President would decide when we go to war through their elected representatives.

It was set up as a unique historical experiment: an agency that would open up the secret service's files to those it had spied upon. But now the commissioner in charge of the East Germany's secret police archive has admitted that his agency still counts 37 former Stasi employees among its staff.
The Federal Commission for the Stasi Archives was established by the German government in 1991 and tasked with protecting the Stasi archives from former agents eager to destroy records of their deeds.

In the past nine months or so, we have seen Boston's Bad Rabbits churn out impressive covers of Michael Jackon's "Human Nature" and Smashing Pumpkins' "1979." Even though covers aren't typically our thing, these guys are so tight and sharp musically that we can't but be impressed by their reworks. That remains true on their latest cover, which takes them through a track in their funk/New Jack Swing/R&B wheelhouse.
It's The-Dream's 2009 single, the Kanye West-featured "Walkin' on the Moon." Bad Rabbits have upped the funk ante considerably while making sure to retain the original elements. They reached out to fellow Boston resident Moe Pope to handle Yeezy's guest raps, which Pope does with ease. Now if only we knew when Bad Rabbits were releasing their Teddy Riley-produced project, everything would be gravy. Watch their cover of "Walkin' on the Moon" below.

Hi Guys,
I am new to the forum and thought I'd say hi!
Here we have my BMW 323Ci in Topaz Blue, I picked it up two weeks ago and have been loving it since.
It is very clean with only 49k miles, something of a rarity for a 1999 model!
Thought i'd share some pics!

Remembering Billy, A Local Teen Who Lost His Cancer Battle
Billy Gross of Barnegat was a courageous boy who had cancer, beat it, and then had to fight it when it came back. He got to go to his prom and graduate from high school, and fought for his life with a smile on his face until his last breath. Now you're invited to a special family event in his honor.
We were blessed to have Billy visit us and come on our morning show, even while he was doing his best to battle Stage 4 Synovial Sarcoma. And battle he did. I will never forget the day he walked into our radio station as if he didn't have a care in the world….big smile on his face…spreading joy to us all. This teenager was amazing and we miss him.
If you'd like to attend a great family event and help out both Billy's family (with the mountains of medical bills they are still paying off) and Oceans Of Love, come on out to Billy's Believers Third Annual Fundraiser this Sunday, September 29th, 2013, from Noon – 4 pm in the Shore Restaurant Supply Parking Lot at 2045 Rt. 88 in Brick.
The event will feature live bands, including The Benjamins, Food, Games, Face Painting, Bouce Houses, and more. Tickets are $20 for adults, $5 for kids 10 and under.
Billy lost his battle with cancer after last year's benefit, but his memory, and this event, will live on. If you can't make it but would still like to donate, contact firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
By the way, Billy's "Make A Wish" wasn't for himself, but was for his sister to meet One Direction. And after he passed, that wish came true : )

We are thankful of our culture and always looking to keep it well alive. The Jewish people have suffered some many number of circumstances throughout the last few centuries, however, our culture remains strong today. Much as Koreans, or Japanese, or nearly every culture wants to share the histories of their past and see future generations blossom with their knowledge, as do we. This is why it is evermore important to provide knowledge about companies like Fast Drivers Ed Online who provides for Yiddish culture and cares for Jewish ways.
Today I would like to speak more about How FDE provides California driver's education services to Yiddish students of Bah Ma. It is also very apparent that they offer services to the larger public, however this is a capitalist society and a democracy so it is very obvious that they would aim to do such (those days are over and good riddens). Fast Drivers Ed Online does provide quality online traffic schooling and drivers education for young students looking to become certified / qualified drivers no matter where they live in the United States. They also are beginning to provide Texas driver's education soon, as seen on their website. You can see more by visiting the prior hyperlink to the official site.
In the coming years we will be working to provide Fast Drivers Ed Courses to Yiddish students across the country with the hopes to provide quality service as such globally. First we must make an impression with them and grow our relationship with other schools across the United States.
This is a long project running but we already have confirmation from Fast Drivers Ed Online (the owner and CEO whom are both Yiddish). We look forward to bringing you more about this, please just bear in mind that this project will be closer to a 5 year plan but we will see it to the very end.

Selecting a Holley 750cfm Double Pumper carb
AFter having taken a break from here..
I'm looking for info on the Holley 750 Double Pumper carburetors. I'm changing from a Rochester Qjet setup.
Specifically the 3310, 4150, 4160, and 4779.
I need to know which one is the best for my set up.
And weather I should add the Holley 112-96 base plate to it
I use a Edelbrock Performer manifuld.
I see a lot of 3310-3's around. Although I can get 3310-2 and 3310-4 pretty easy too. I don't know the specs of the 4779. Then theres the 0-80508 carb.
The engine I have it on right now is a pretty well built 350 with common parts. Normal every day pump gas is what I'm using.
Help picking out which carb I should use would help.
I maybe wrong but aren't the 4150's and 4160's vacuum secondary not double pumpers.
What are you using it for? Daily driver with any concern for miliage I would go with vac secondaries.
I'm definately not a carb guru by any shake of the imagination but I do know that the 3310 750 is a vac. secondary carb as is the 4160. I believe the 4150 can be had as a DP or SP depending on which model. The 4779 is a 4150 carb and per the book it is a DP.
Now that being said, if you have a lot of extra money for gas and a healthy engine that really needs that extra gas then just stick with a 3310. Set up PROPERLY it will give you all the performance your street 350 needs.
Same answer I posted to your question on the other forum.....
What would I do?
I'd send the Q-Jet to Cliff Ruggles to be tweaked for my motor. Then I'd bolt in on an Edelbrock Performer RPM Q-JET #7104 intake manifold.
In my opinion, there is no better carburetor to meter fuel for an internal combustion engine than the Rochester Quadrajet.
That said, a Holley carb can be a 4150 (w/secondary metering BLOCK) or 4160 (w/secondary metering PLATE).
A 3310 is a vacuum 2'ndary carb, the 3310-1 was a 4150, all the rest have been 4160's.
The 4779 is a 750 double pumper, and is a 4150.
If you're using this car for daily transpo, and have a mild cam, Performer intake, street gears and converter, forget the 3310.
Use a smaller vacuum 2'ndary carb- like the 1850 600 CFM vacuum 2'ndary 4160 carb. It's all the engine will likely ever need, unless you race it or for some reason run it to very high RPM's. It'll have better response and fuel mileage than the 750, due to the smaller primaries.
I'm using a stock 700R4. Ghanged it from a TH350. With a Ford 9" with a 28 spline. I tried to pick out a gear between 2.50 and 3.50. That range seemed to be pretty common in my research. Thinking about changing it to a 28 spline 3.70:1 though.
Manifold is the Edelbrock basic small block chevy 2101/2104.
Motor / block is a GM 3970014. I can give you other codes on the block.. or even the build sheet with the dyno numbers with my setup. I'm using stock GM 1.94 & 2.02 heads.
I've got a Comp Cam's camshaft in there.. 12-246-3 grind #XE274H-10.
I'm thinkin about chaning to the 12-325-4 or one of the others for the SBC.
should look about like this: http://www.compcams.com/Technical/Dy...74H-10_001.asp
Different set up tho.
Ok, so what about a Holley 650 Double Pumper.
These seem to be one of several carbs. The 4777 and the 6210.
There is a few of them:
0-6210 4165
0-80552 4175
6210 3402
0-80541-1 4150
0-82651 4150
Real hard to beat a q-jet BUT BOY ARE THEY PRICEY NOW.......
Carb pics......
Unless you have a stout smallblock, like to run it hard, do yourself a favor, stick with the 600-650 range of carb, preferably the vac sec. You will get all the performance you will need......everyone thinks they HAVE to have a DP carb. If you are running a big cam, lots of compression, a LOT of gear and/or converter, then a DP is in the works. You have a mild smallblock, be wise.
Wow, the Quadrapukes are valuable now? I have a large box of all kinds of parts for them from over the years of modifying and trying to get them to do what I wanted....sounds like flea-bay fodder (gold).....lmao :P
This post is almost 3 yrs. old guys....
oh lord.....

Date of Stay: July, 2009
We stayed just for the weekend at this campground and I was pleasantly surprised. I thought that the camp store was very nice and the pool was nice (although small) and they had a movie at their amphitheater at night for the kids. I do agree that the gravel is a problem. Our truck and camper were so dirty and dusty when we left there that we couldn't wait to get them washed. I do feel that their "beach area" needs to be improved - not very inviting.
Date of Stay: June, 2009
This campground is definitely clean, well-kept and with the most spacious sites that I've ever stayed in. The only reason that I didn't give the campground a "10" is because of the lack of cable television. I was amazed that this campground didn't have cable hookup and to make matters even worse, we couldn't get any local channels at all on our television. I don't like not being able to watch the news for an entire week. We were also frustrated with the front desk staff. They always seemed to be understaffed and overwhelmed. When we went to the front desk for anything, we were in there for a minimum of 1/2 hour which got to be very frustrating. The game room, the office, etc. all close down at 5:00 p.m. which was a little different for a campground. Overall though, this campground was beautiful but I do think if we go back to the Myrtle Beach area, we'll stay a little closer to the beach and restaurants, etc.
Date of Stay: July, 2008
We loved Pipestem Resort. There are tons of things to do in the park. The campground is nice but not great. Unfortunately, it seems like the full hook-up sites aren't as spacious and level as the primitive sites are. Half of the sites are unreservable so that makes it hard to reserve sites together if you're traveling with a couple of families. Overall, though, the park is wonderful and we will definitely return.
Date of Stay: July, 2008
I was disappointed in Carter Caves campground. The area around the campground is very pretty but the campground is older and very crowded. There are several sites that practically share the same firepit area. It appears to me that they crammed as many sites into the campground as they could and didn't take site size or privacy into consideration. We visited on a very busy summer weekend and the pool was so crowded that it was unbearable. It seemed like everywhere you went in the park, you felt claustrophobic. I'm crossing this park off of my list - way too many other nicer parks around to visit.
Date of Stay: November, 2007
Very nice, small campground. Most of the people who camp here are repeat visitors and very friendly. There are some nice hiking trails. If you don't feel like cooking, the food at the lodge is very good and not expensive.
Date of Stay: November, 2007
Very nice campground. The sites are pretty large and spread out. Great pool for summer. This is a nice campground to ride bikes also. If there were water hookups, I would give it a 10.
Date of Stay: October, 2007
This campground is top notch!! The sites are meticulously landscaped and there are shrubs between all of the sites for privacy. Everyone here was very friendly. We rode our bikes to the beach and really enjoyed it. The cottages looked great although I didn't see the inside of one. My only complaint (if I had to have one) is that the pool was very small. It wasn't a problem when we were there in October but I could see that being a problem in the summer when the kids are out of school. I can't come back to this campground soon enough.
Date of Stay: October, 2007
We stopped overnight here on our way back from Destin, Florida. I was very pleasantly surprised. It was a well kept campground with a family atmosphere. I'm not sure if we'll ever be in the area again in need of somewhere to stay, but if we were, I would be pleased to stay at Point Mallard again.
Date of Stay: July, 2007
Very nice park with easy to maneuver roads. The sites are all pretty level. There is a great pool and plenty of things to do for the kids. We have been there for Bluegrass Games the past two summers and it does get pretty crowded and overrun with kids during that weekend. If you're there to enjoy a peaceful weekend, I wouldn't recommend this campground when the Bluegrass games are going on. Full hook up sites would be a wonderful addition.
Date of Stay: July, 2007
This campground is what it is. It is a parking lot in an excellent location. We left our campground in Frisco early and called here (campgrounds near Nags Head are non-existent except for this one) and they were very friendly and accommodated us for two nights. We didn't have high expectations and mainly just wanted somewhere to park our camper to explore the area and that's what we did. You just cross the street to the beach which was perfect. The sites are so close that you can't even put your awning out but we spent little time at our camper while we were there. We went to Jockey Ridge State Park and the Wright Brothers Memorial which are very close and spent the day in Duck, NC which was also great. A smart investor should open up a nice RV park in the northern section of the Outer Banks. I would think it would do great - there is no competition.
Date of Stay: July, 2007
I was disappointed when we arrived at Frisco Woods. The site that we had booked for almost 6 months, was not at all what we had hoped for -- it was small and dumpy. So, the management was very friendly and let us move to a very nice, shady site but it wasn't a full hook up site. I felt that there wasn't much to do in the Frisco area and the few nearby restaurants were very pricey and not that good. But, the absolute worst part of the vacation were the mosquitoes. I've never experienced anything like it in my life. We were getting eaten alive cooking breakfast in the morning. We didn't even sit out at night because it was literally unbearable. I've been to plenty of campgrounds in the summer by the beach and have never had it this bad. The mosquitoes alone would keep us from ever returning. We didn't find the mosquitoes to be a problem in other areas of town -- just at the campground. Drove almost 15 hours and was disappointed.
Date of Stay: July, 2007
This campground is nice but probably not as nice as I had hoped. But, the Hocking Hills area makes up for the disappoitment of the campground. We didn't spent a lot of time at the campground because we were too busy taking in the breathtaking sites that the area has to offer. The pool was large but there was a stench in the air from some type of a sewage system so that was a drawback. I would return to this campground because it had activities for the kids and we loved the area. I do wish the sites had water on them -- that makes for short trips only.
Date of Stay: July, 2007
Lots of potential in this campground, but they need to condense the lakefront sites and make them twice the size that they are now. We had a wonderful view of Lake Huron but could almost reach out and touch our neighbor's camper. We did alot of sightseeing when we stayed at the campground and the location is great for many things like taking the ferry over to Mackinac Island which is a "must do". The sites are just not big enough to accommodate the size of campers today. I wouldn't write the campground off but I do think there are some significant updates that need to be done -- mainly being the size of the sites.
Date of Stay: June, 2007
We camped here overnight on our way to Mackinaw City. We loved the large, wooded sites and the great location to Frankenmuth which was a charming, little town. But, I can't imagine staying here longer than a night without a pool or any other amenities. I think the kids would be very bored. I would stay here again if we were just passing through.
Date of Stay: June, 2007
We stopped over at this campground on the way to the Outer Banks and were very pleasantly surprised. The sites were spacious and it was heavily wooded. Some of the pads are in need of repair and full hookups would be a definite bonus but for a county park, it was very nice. I wish we could have spent some additional time at this campground and would definitely stay here again if ever in the area.

Ripoff Report
sprintlos angeles, California USA
sprint was disconnected. I called to pay balance and then discontinue services. was sent a bill later stating I still owed balance, am told in order to discontinue services (which were already disconnected) my account was re-connected and then disconnected a week later incurring a charge of 61.43. los angeles California
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
After years of service with sprint with a unlimited roaming plan, this company called and informed us it was cancelling our services due to too much roaming. We then switched to verizon but kept one service, internet to computer.(we own a semi truck and communicate with business via internet or phone) we got in a position where we could not pay balance but made it right and called to settle balance. I asked that any incurring charges be included that I might settle the whole balance and I informed the young lady we would at that time be cancelling the internet service also. She gave me balances and then cancelled my service. During that conversation I was not informed that my services would be re-connected and then after the billing cycle ended, disconnected,which resulted in the $61.43 charges. I feel lied to and cheated that they came up with a way to get more money out of us. I informed them I was not going to pay the charges because my account had been paid in full on the 20th of Dec. and then cancelled that very same day. They are telling me in order to cancel an account (which had already been disconnected) they had to re-connect and then disconnect again and wait until the billing cycle ended to do so. I feel this was customer service at it's worst and am not the only one this has happened to.I am, to say the least,upset and will not have anything good to say about sprint overall.

Mexican Gorditas
Cook time: 30 minutes + however long it takes you to make your favorite stuffing for these (explained below)
Ingredients (serves 14 gorditas):
For the dough:
2 cups corn flour maseca
1/4 cup white wheat flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons lard
1.5 cups warm water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup sour creme
1/4 cup queso fresco (fresh cheese)
1 cup shredded romaine lettuce
salsa verde or salsa roja
For the stuffing that goes inside, you need to pick one of your favorites below and also make it. Obviously I can't provide the recipe for all of these guisados that you can use to stuff your gorditas with, so do a search in Google, find a good recipe, and use it to make one of these gordita stuffings. Here's a few examples of what you could make:
- pork stew
- barbacoa sheep stew
- picadillo ground beef dish
- tinga shredded chicken
- mole poblano (chicken with mole, it can be any type of mole: green, red, etc)
- chicharron en salsa verde (a pork rines dish)
- pipian
- rajas con crema y queso Oaxaca
- chorizo con papas
- refired beans and cheese
Directions on how to make gorditas. This will make the dough and tell you how to combine it with the stuffing, but you need to find another recipe for making your stuffing of choice. If possible, make the stuffing/guisado at the same time, so it's fresh and warm when you stuff it inside the gordita "pockets":
Start by heating the grill or a comal to medium heat (375°F).
To make the gorditas, thoroughly mix the following together: corn flour, wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the lard and water to the mix. Mash it until all ingredients form one big ball.
Divide the dough into 14 little balls and cover them with a kitchen cloth to help them stay warm.
Using a dough roller or a metal tortillas press, press each ball between two plastic bags until forming a circle about five inches in diameter and about 1/4 inch thick.
Now cook your Mexican gorditas: lay one gordita on your preheated comal or grill.
Cook each side for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until they are slightly cooked. Then remove.
Heat vegetable oil in a big frying pan (8 to 10 inches in diameter), then fry 2 to 3 gorditas at the time for 1 minute on each side, until the sides are lightly crispy.
Absorb the excess oil off each fried gordita by blotting with paper towels, and keep them warm (sticking them in the oven works well, with a little heat).
Once you've finish frying them all, take them one by one and make an incision big enough to stick in a spoon with some stuffing. Now add two or three tablespoons of your favorite dish (guisado) for the stuffing, that you've already made for this purpose.
Then serve with lettuce, sour cream, cheese, and your favorite Mexican salsa–but if the stuffing of the gordita already has a sauce/salsa in it, that's enough already and you don't need to serve extra.
And enjoy your gorditas! Sink your teeth into the warm stuffed corn cake and enjoy one of Mexico's favorite lunch time treats and dinner delights!
