Hi Lou,I had another call about the Crosleys and gave the other person all the information too. Here it is:The cars (2) are in Hagerstown Maryland.I saw the one car and all the metalwork was nice and it is in black primer. The other car I didn't see, but there were cars covered with canvases.The widow's name is Lillie Byrd whose husband passed away last fall. I was there on Friday to get some paperwork done on the car I purchased, and she said that the 2 Crosleys were still available. The 2 King Midgets are going to her grandson.She is running the company that her husband owned.Byrd Automotive which is a tire company.1720 Dual HighwayHagerstown, Maryland(301)797-0300Mrs Byrd is in on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays.Please remember that she is still grieving the death of her husband. She just wants to turn the cars into cash. I made an offer for the one that I purchased which was less than what she was asking and she took my offer. I made a pretty good deal.I think she is in her 80's. (not sure... she didn't tell me her age)Hope someone can make a good deal and get a couple of nice cars.Al----- Original Message -----From: Louis RuganiTo: goodshow@...Sent: Thursday, March 04, 2010 11:06 AMSubject: Crosleys?Hi, Al; Lou Rugani here from the Crosley Car Owners Club. www.onelist.com/group/Crosley

The 10 Best Snacks for Weight Loss
Find out which 10 foods may help you lose weight while snacking.
Eating a snack or two between meals can curb hunger so that you don't inhale the dining room table when you finally sit down to supper. Snacking can also help you get in all the nutrients you need. On the flipside, grazing all day—particularly on foods of little nutritional value—may result in eating too much and packing on extra pounds.

On June 15, 2010, the Grammy Awardwinning singer and songwriter Sarah McLachlan released of Laws of Illusion. This is Sarahs first studio album of new material in seven years, since the doubleplatinum Afterglow in 2003, and its twelve songs rank with the most compelling work ever created by this gifted artist. In the years between these two releases, Sarah has married, separated, and is raising two young daughters. These crucial life experiences have enriched her artistry and infused her new songs with the full range and complexity of adult emotions. In listening to Laws of Illusion, we can hear the strength of hardearned independence; the trials of love won, lost, and found anew; and the infinite joys of living.
In Laws of Illusion, Sarah looks at love from both sides now. The opening track, Awakenings, moves on a subdued electronic pulse underpinning ethereal guitar lines and - as the singer soars into her upper register - demonstrates her ability to craft an unforgettable hook without hitting the listener over the head with it. Loving You Is Easy, the first single from the album, is an upbeat, almost jaunty pianobased song, with a musical atmosphere perfectly matched to lyrics that describe the heady thrill of new love: Im alive and Im on fire/Shot like a starburst into the sky...

The image shown above comes from a publication from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's report, "Teacher Background Information: Connecting Population Growth and Climate Change."
Exponential population growth.
The current world population is thought to be doubling every 37 years. The human population grew at the slow rate of less than 0.002 percent a year for the first several million years of our existence. Since then, the average annual rate of human population has increased to an all-time high of 2.06 percent in 1970. As the base number of people undergoing growth has increased, it has taken less and less time to add each new billion people. It took 2 million years to add the first billion people; 130 years to add the second billion; 30 years to add the third billion; 15 years to add the fourth billion; and only 12 years to add the fifth billion. We are now approaching the seventh billion, the report notes.
Simplistic arguments from the religious right.
Here in the United States, religious groups are fighting contraception, working to ban abortion, and warning that environmentalism is "The Green Dragon" which is unleashing spiritual deception and un-Christian doctrines about God, creation, humanity, sin and redemption upon the world. The producer of the Green Dragon documentary, The Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation, warns that Christians are called to stand up to and resist "The Green Dragon." Religious right groups and people such as Focus on the Family's Tom Minnery, Family Research Council's Tony Perkins, the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission's Richard Land, Concerned Women for America's Wendy Wright, Home School Legal Defense Association's Michael Farris, National Religious Broadcasters' Frank Wright, WallBuilders' David Barton, and radio talk-show host Janet Parshall all agree in a documentary produced by the Cornwall Alliance.
Consumption and population.
The oceanographer Jacques-Yves Cousteau once said that "Overconsumption and overpopulation underlie every environmental problem we have today."
Every second, an average of 4.2 people are born and 1.8 people die, meaning that there is a net gain of 2.4 people per second. By 2025 CE, it is estimated that global human population will reach 8 billion. By 2050 CE, there will be 9.5 billion people.
This means that there is an increased demand for resources, such as water. There is not an unlimited supply of fresh water on earth. By 2025 CE, it is estimated that 1 in 3 people will be affected by water shortages. In more than 1 out of every 2 developing countries, the population has grown faster than food supplies. To feed the projected population in 2025, food production will need to be doubled over current levels. Doing so will create a chain reaction of environmental consequences.
To help deal with this, those concerned with overpopulation suggest that developed countries — which consume most of the energy resources — need to lower levels of consumption. Sustainable solutions for increasing demands on food, water, fuel and other basic resources must be found. Universal access to family planning services and contraceptives are also key to sustainability. Women need access to health care, information and birth control.
Shifting demographics.
But others, like those behind the "Demographic Winter," say that populations are not growing fast enough, warning that this will lead to economic collapse. They are referring to developed countries in Europe and ignore the resource issues in undeveloped countries such as those in Africa experiencing population growth. Japan, with the lowest birthrates in the world, is facing a crisis because not enough babies are being born to sustain an aging population.
In 2010, Eric Kaufmann, political scientist and author of Shall the Religious Inherit the Earth? pointed out that 97% of the world's growing population is in developing countries that are religious. In the developed world, the population is shrinking and people are leaving religion. He speculated that if demographic trends are any guide, the world over the next half century will become much more religious and much more conservative.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.

This company talked to a shop mechanic via phone and offered free sample of fuel addative. Free sample came with $133.93 invoice. Faxed a note on invoice to sender that invoice was not authorized, not requested, and will not be paid.
When contacted via phone, person for company would only say over and over "This is valid invoice and will remain open until paid." Invoice will in fact not be paid. Company would not send "call tag" for pick up.
At this time, both the invoice and product will be going into dumpster. Accounts Payable department will be notified of the problem so that it will not be paid in the furture either.

ARGH!"Written and drawn by Iambic, a devoted Troper, Fall City Blues follows the chaos when Lex and Lucy, alternate universe versions of each other, get stuck sharing an apartment after their two realities are merged to save space. Add a rock-eating alien chick, a bunch of terrible puns, and a helping of mad science, and you've got the general drift.
Fall City Blues contains examples of:
- Alternate Universe - The premise is this.
- B-Side Comics - Transitfish Syndrome, which doubles as Dada Comics (see below). Also Fall City Blues (unframed!), which features the characters in random gags.
- Chromatic Arrangement - Lex (pink), Lucy (tealish), and Eiffel (green).
- Dada Comics - Transitfish Syndrome

Save The Environment, Chop Down A Real Christmas Tree
At this point, the annual debate over buying a real or fake tree is older than the Charlie Brown Christmas special.
People who like real trees talk of tradition, the great smell and cherished memories of chopping down a pine with their old man, while proponents of artificial trees rave over the convenience and lack of mess.
Yes, it's a good-natured argument for sure, but only one choice is actually good for nature itself. As the president of Tree Canada, an organization that's helped plant more than 80 million trees over the past 20 years, you might expect an argument against cutting down a "live tree," but make no mistake -- you are helping both the environment and the community you live in when you choose a real tree.
Where trees come from
Canadians spend approximately $56 million each year on artificial trees produced in factories in China, Taiwan and South Korea, where less stringent environmental regulations, poorer working conditions and lower wages often prevail.
On the other hand, real Christmas trees are produced from sunlight, rainfall and good soils, period. Planted much like an agricultural crop, these trees provide wildlife habitat as they grow until they are harvested and replaced by another tree. In addition, real Christmas trees are grown on family farms, representing more than $100 million to the rural Canadian economy.
Where trees end up
On average, artificial trees last seven to 10 years and cannot be recycled, so they must be land filled or incinerated. In landfills, the non-biodegradable materials take an extremely long period to break down while incineration can cause plastics, such as PVC, to release dioxins and other carcinogens into the air.
Now, back to a fresh cut Christmas tree -- which, of course, is recyclable and biodegradable. Once used, the tree can be chipped for mulch, burned, or land filled, where it will naturally break down over time; if used for firewood, a real tree will release a relatively small amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Impact on the environment
Artificial trees pose a real hazard to the environment, to workers and to Canadian consumers. These fake trees are composed mostly of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a non-renewable and potentially polluting petroleum product. In addition, large amounts of fossil fuels are required to transport the plastic trees (usually from Asia), adding more greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.
PVC also contains Phthalates, which have been shown to accumulate in body tissues and are linked to damage in the liver, lungs and reproductive organs in mammals. Lead, a cumulative toxin, is often used in the production of PVC and can also lead to environmental and health-related problems including nervous system damage, particularly in children.
Conversely, there are numerous environmental benefits created through the growth of natural Christmas trees. Besides providing wildlife habitat, the trees stabilize and protect soil, watercourses and help moderate floods and droughts. They also act as air filters and produce clean oxygen for all breathing creatures -- for instance, every acre of growing Christmas trees provides the necessary daily amount of oxygen for 18 people.
Depending on where you live in Canada, some fossil fuel pollution is likely generated in the transport of real Christmas trees, but this is offset by the fact that trees capture many harmful greenhouse (and other) gases during their growth period. And, while fertilizers are sometimes used to boost a tree's growth and colour and/or to guard against weeds or insects, neither pose a health threat to workers or consumers when done correctly.
When you add it all up, the only true health concern from a real Christmas tree comes from those unfortunate enough to suffer from allergies. Otherwise, fresh cut trees are environmentally friendly and offer incredible benefits to both our community and the Canadian economy.
While the debate over real v. fake trees will never end, I hope you and your family make the smart choice this holiday season.

I think it's still a pretty rare car. That's why it's so cool. And the "what that things got a manual?" And "I can't believe that sound came from that" I think in the future the V1 will be very collectibleOriginally Posted by repenttokyo
I mean today if you compare a V1 to a e46 m3/ c55 amg/ v8 s4 price used car price wise, we arent looking so good. which is why i wonder about the people who have 04 V1's with 40k on them... not much value to be saved by not driving it.
Nobody in my area knows if I have a V1 or V2. They always ask "is that the 550hp version cts"? I tell them it doesn't have the supercharger and that it's naturally aspirated for 400hp at the crank - I get the deer caught in the headlights look followed by a few wide-eyed blinks. I'm leaning towards modding it with the promise of the recent TT kit that may be developed.
I think the general audience assumes all Vs have the same output and nobody has ever guessed the year I'm driving...2004. I have all the chrome repainted black and also black powder coated wheels. As far as modding goes, I'm at a loss trying to get any good info forging the bottom for FI. The reply I get is that the LS6 bottom is good for 8psi but take it down to 6psi for safety and invest in the valvetrain instead. I'm gonna poke around my local speedshop and see what they recommend for a bottom end build or replacement for more boost - 12psi max goal.
I don't have time to search right now. But production numbers have been discussed quite a bit over the years I believe total production for the V1 is believed by most people that have spent time looking at it to be under 10k. Something like 9500 total from 2004 to 2007.

Total us sales. It's just over 10k. Idk if there were any more produced and sold in other countries. Or if Wikipedia is that inaccurate. Not that I think the difference is that big of a deal. Still pretty rare imo
Where is that Cadillac customer service rep when you need her... I bet Cadillac has those numbers stored in their systems somewhere.
Actually, sold the old g35 for a new XC 60. I like the 3 liter turbo in sports mode. 325 ft- lbs of torque in the hills of western PA is just about enough. And $1200 for the polestar upgrade is stupid money for 25 bhp.Originally Posted by liqidvenom
And I hope everyone else drives their 2004 V's like they stole them.
Just my 2c, was facing same scenario, elected to keep my 06' V1 - starting a 402 stroker build in about a week. Already have the entire Creative Steel 8.8 drive line to handle the power. Just something about V1's that make them special.

I'm looking at the LG Motorsports G5X cam - something streetable for forced induction. I haven't decided on pushrods or rockers yet. Pretty soon, I'll be shopping prices.
hey i like my car like the next guy, but the fact that this question even gets asked and people having to defend why they stay with the V1.
If i had spare money to move around i would invest my mod money into a better performance platform which is the V2.
Using my LS2 block with 225 Trick Flow heads, everything else is going to be new. It will be set up and tuned for 93 pump gas all motor should net around 520 - 540 to wheels.
What other late model car would people debate on weather they should keep the older model or get the new one? I think to the contrary of what you said. the fact that people even consider keeping a first gen over trading for a second gen says volumes about what a great car it is.Originally Posted by liqidvenom

|The Gran Sport option could be ordered on a 1965 Riviera or Skylark.
1965 Buick Gran Sport
The 1965 Skylark Gran Sport was an option available on the 2 door Coupe, Sport Coupe, and Convertible Riviera. Along with the 401-cid V8 engine that produced 325 hp at 4400 rpm was a heavy duty cross flow radiator and dual exhaust manifolds with oversized pipes. To identify the Gran Sport, look for a red-filled Gran Sport badge on the grille, deck and roof quarters on the 2 door Coupe and Sport Coupe; rear fenders on the Convertible. Tires on the Skylark GS were 7.75 x 14 on 6-inch rims.
The GS option was also available on the Riviera. It included a Super Wildcat V8 engine. To identify the Gran Sport, look for the use of GS full wheelcovers and Gran Sport lettering below the Riviera script on the deck lid and front fenders.

You Don't Have to Ditch the Day Job
Editor's note: This column is adapted from Wright's recent post on his blog on running a sustainable Web business.
In the beginning, it's not always practical to dive into a Web startup full time, though eventually you will have to if you want it to succeed. Still, if you're too poor or too unsure to do the right thing for your business and dive in full time, here are a few things that seemed to work for my partners and me when we did it part time. Some of the tips will work in almost any industry. A few will really only work in a Web business.
1. You need a co-founder and some cheerleaders. If you can't find two or three friends who are really excited to be beta testers for what you're building, consider changing direction. The arguments for a co-founder are many and varied. For a part-time effort, they are essential to keep you on track and working. At some point, you'll hit a motivation wall. If you have a partner who is depending on you, you will find a way past that. If you don't, you'll often lose interest and let the project fizzle.
2. Pick a day or two per week when you always work, ideally in the same room as your co-founder(s). I repeat, always, no exceptions. We did one weekday evening and one weekend day. That doesn't mean we weren't working other days, but having a fixed schedule helps you through the phases of the project that might not be so fun.
3. Have a boat-burning target. What will it take for everyone to dive in full time? Five thousand active users? 10,000 uniques a week? Funding? That should be a shared understanding. You don't want to have one founder ready to go full time when another has reservations. This is easy to gloss over, but you should really nail it down. I've lost two co-founders who weren't ready to dive in full time when I was. It wasn't fair to them and it wasn't fair to me.
4. Pick an idea that is tractable. Every business is a theory. If your theory is "We can build a better Web-based chat client," that's something you could test quickly. If you're theory is "We can build a car that runs on lemonade," that's just not going to work as a part-time effort. The scarcity of available time should force you to distill the idea to the absolute essence that is necessary to test the theory. No extraneous features!
5. Understand that your first version is probably going to suck. Read Weebly founder David Rusenko's post on persistence. It's a long road. My first startup was a ridiculous fluke. I ran it for two months, then sold it. But almost all of the overnight successes you read about were slogging in the muck for five years before the night in question. Be prepared for a long journey and be surprised if your startup is an immediate hit. So with your first version, look for the tiny little flicker than you might be on to something to motivate you to make it better. Every week, make it better than last week and see if that flicker of light can be fanned into a tiny flame.
6. If you're going to screw off at work (everyone does), spend it getting smarter about the stuff you don't know. If you're a coder, read a few design/usability blogs. Read up on what motivates angel investors. Research competitors and write down what they do well. Get brilliant at SEO, search engine optimization (it's not hard). Write a lot more (blogging helps). Think about virality and research the heck out of it. This is all more valuable (and hopefully just as fun) as looking at LOLcats on Reddit. Having said all that, do be aware of the fuzzy line between using your cooldown time at work for your startup and stealing time/resources from your employer. If you're paid to do a job, you need to do it.
7. Be sure you own your startup. (I added this tip thanks to Ivan's comment on my blog.) I've had the fortune to work in places and companies where there was very clear ownership of "after hours" work. If ownership of your personal intellectual property is not clear, do not rely on the goodwill of your employer. Greed can do funny things to people, even if they were initially big supporters of your startup.
At the end of the day, you want to prove whatever you need to prove as quickly as possible, so you can dive in full time. Near as I can tell, there are plenty of startups that have started as hobbies, but you need to move past that phase as soon as you can. There is nothing that drives a team forward like the fear of public failure, debt, and starvation. Leap off the cliff and start building the airplane on the way down, and you might be surprised what you can pull off.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. – University of Miami point guard Shane Larkin has earned ACC Player of the Week honors after leading the Canes to a pair of conference road wins against Virginia Tech and No. 19 NC State.
The sophomore averaged 19.0 points, 4.0 assists, 4.0 steals, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 38.5 minutes per game for the No. 14/15 Miami Hurricanes. Larkin hit 60.9 percent (14-23) from the field and hit 7-15 (46.7%) from distance in his two outings.
At Virginia Tech, Larkin had 25 points, hitting a career-high five 3-pointers. At 5-11, Larkin used his 43-inch vertical to block back-to-back Hokie shots, his first-ever game with a pair of swats. The sophomore played all 40 minutes for Miami, tallying a trio of rebounds, assists and steals.
Against No. 19/19 NC State, Larkin notched five steals and five assists while pulling down three rebounds. He recorded 13 points, hitting 55.6 percent from the field, including a pair of 3-pointers.
Catch Larkin and the Canes in action on Tuesday against Boston College. Tip is at 7 p.m. at the BankUnited Center in Coral Gables.

Devices based on magnetic films are used in applications ranging as widely as from computer memory to heart pacemakers. An important characteristic of magnetic films is the saturation field, which is a measure of how small an applied magnetic field can be and still completely magnetize that film in the direction of the field. The smaller the saturation field, the more sensitive the device.
The saturation field is often determined by the stress in the film. During film deposition, a common phenomenon is the buildup of stress with increasing thickness. Thick films, however, are often desirable when an application requires a high magnetization. Researchers in the Metallurgy Division in MML have discovered that during deposition, interlayering such a magnetic film with another metal having either a different crystal structure or lattice constant can achieve unprecedented reductions in the saturation field. The interlayers of the other metal are used to force a restart of the growth of the magnetic film. The restart induces the creation of new crystalline grains of the magnetic material. Thus, very thick magnetic films can be made with very low saturation fields.
Measurements of the stress in thick film samples of the ferromagnetic Ni77Fe14Cu5Mo4 alloy were made by depositing them on thin glass cantilevers. A multilayer structure with a 5 nm thick Ag layer interspersed every 100 nm reduced the tensile stress in the film by a factor of 200 and the saturation field by a factor of 400.
This result is also important for magnetic field amplifiers known as flux concentrators, which are widely used in magnetic field sensors. As a consequence, advancements like earlier detection of unexploded ordinance and biological warfare agents, improved sensing of counterfeit currency, earlier crack detection in aircraft wings, and more powerful computers will be possible.

LONDON (AP) — Herbert Lom, the Czech-born actor who starred as Inspector Clouseau's boss in the Pink Panther movies, has died. He was 95.
The London-based star appeared in more than 100 films, including "Spartacus," ''El Cid" and "The Ladykillers," and acted alongside film greats including Charlton Heston and Kirk Douglas.
His first major film role was as Napoleon in 1942's "The Young Mr. Pitt," but Lom was perhaps most famous for playing the part of Charles Dreyfus, boss to Peter Sellers' befuddled Inspector Clouseau in the popular Pink Panther movies.
Lom's son Alec said the actor — who "never wanted to be pigeonholed in a particular role" — died peacefully in his sleep on Thursday.

Another Thanksgiving is gaining on us and this year there seems to be less and less to be thankful for. The economy sucks, the world is in turmoil, and everyone is miserable. Boy, I can't wait for Christmas! I think I'll ask Santa for a "happy pill."
I am generally an optimistic person and have often been accused of living in "Gerry World" by my family and friends for my unwillingness to be dragged down by life's burdens. I am a firm believer that everything is relative. I have a hard time complaining about life in our country when I compare it to the standards of living in an economically devastated place like Darfur.
I remember a time when I was having a particularly bad day, the car had broken down and I was stranded in the middle of nowhere with my son who was getting very upset by the situation. I shared with him two fatherly bits of advice: "shit happens" and never say, "it can't get any worse."
Years later we look at that experience and laugh, both at how we managed to get through that micro-crisis in one piece and at how many times since we have needed to refer to those two particular life lessons.
My theory of relativity was tested when I read the recent web post Tragic Tale, a lengthy, nine-page, article that details the tragedy that has befallen legendary Marvel Comics writer Bill Mantlo whose most notable works were The Micronauts, Rom Spaceknight, Cloak and Dagger, and The Incredible Hulk along with a huge array of other titles. Mantlo was struck by a hit-and-run driver while rollerblading in New York in 1995. He has been left, brain damaged and stranded by the system in a nursing home, forgotten by the legion of fans that for many years found joy in his work.
Many people were shocked and devastated by the news which was delivered with an agenda to illustrate, through Mantlo's experience, how the Health Insurance Industry and Federal Healthcare Reform does not work in America. The story was embellished a bit to accentuate the author's point but none of that changes the fact that Bill Mantlo's life has been ruined by a tragic accident and his existence has been reduced to a pale shadow of his former boisterous self.
Ladies and gentlemen, anyone who has ever enjoyed a Bill Mantlo comic, anyone who has ever worked with Bill Mantlo and anyone who has ever considered themselves a comic creator or enthusiast, please, this holiday season, please, remember that one of our own, a member of the comics family, needs us. Bill Mantlo needs to be remembered, not just for his contribution to comics but for still being human. Bill Mantlo's body may be broken, his brain may be damaged, but he is still a person with rights to dignity and a need to be loved and respected.
Like many people who call themselves comic creators, I have a need to work a full time job to pay the bills and provide health benefits for my family while I pursue my interests here at CO2 Comics. I have worked in a long term healthcare facility for a number of years as an Activity Professional. It is my job to ensure that people like Bill Mantlo enjoy whatever quality of life they are capable of. I put smiles on their faces and help to make their existence as bearable as possible. I do this by respecting them for who they are, today. Though I do not know Bill personally and have never had the opportunity to meet him, I know from my own experience what kind of life he is currenrtly living.
Not everyone is as lucky as Bill Mantlo to have had the opportunity to entertain an adoring audience around the world with his writing. While we can all be sad that Bill may never write again or enjoy the life he once had we can all give back to him a sample of the joy that his work gave to us simply by sending him a greeting card this holiday season or writing him a short note of friendship or a thank you. This may sound trite but in a healthcare facility something as simple as mail is a big deal.
Mail is required by law to be delivered immediately to residents. For someone like Bill, who may not have a lot of personal interaction with staff, an extra visit a day by a warm bodied person delivering mail has a big impact. It becomes an even bigger deal when someone, wether it be staff or a family member takes the time to help him read his mail. I personally enjoy delivering mail to my residents because I know that it is another opportunity for me to impact their day and get to know them better.
I have been in contact with Bill's brother, Michael Mantlo, and he is excited about the idea of Bill getting mail sent to him at the healthcare facility. Michael stresses that there be NO requests for autographs, correspondence, or art from Bill since it would be difficult and frustrating for him to respond to them, also he asks to please send nothing legal, financial or solicitous. A simple short note of appreciation and well wishes will go a long way!
Please DO NOT send money, clothes, gifts, original art or anything of value as they may be stolen, damaged or destroyed. Photocopies of fan art or comic covers would be fine and encouraged since Bill seems to respond very positively to images of comics, especially ones that he worked on.
Please send any mail to the following address:
Bill Mantlo
c/o Queens Nassau Nursing Home
520 Beach 19th Street
Far Rockaway, NY 11691
It is important to note that although the Tragic Tale article painted a devastating picture of Bill's existence at the nursing home, his brother wrote me, "the facility is not really as bleak as the writer of that article made it out to be. Bill's room is pretty basic, but that is by both necessity, and choice. Bill has "trashed" his room (sometimes severely) many times, and wants no part of a radio, TV or phone. I had provided all of those to him, at one time or another, and all have either been destroyed by him in a fit of rage, or he has demanded that they be removed. After 19 years, I have learned that it is far better to acquiesce to Bill's demands than to enrage him. No one benefits from his angry explosions, least of all Bill."
Michael has also sent me a few recent pictures of Bill that show him smiling and happily enjoying the company of family members who had come to visit.
Nobody likes nursing homes, they can be a depressing place that people envision you go to to die. The reality is that nursing homes are where people that cannot take care of themselves or whose family are not adequately equipped to care for them properly go to live. The facility is their home and they are protected by the same rights that we all have. Some facilities are better than others but all are made better when people step up to the plate and show the residents that someone cares for them.
My wish for Bill Mantlo this holiday season is that he has a reason to smile everyday and that he knows that he is not forgotten. So please, send him mail, if you are religious, pray for him and maybe, just maybe, Bill will experience a miracle and at least feel a little bit more human everyday.
Thanks, Bill, for the happiness you gave me as a young comic reader. The Micronauts was one of my favorite comic books!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Fear of Riding Horses
Fear is probably the least talked about issue with horseback riders. Somehow people are made to feel inadequate or stupid if they have a fear of riding, and yet fear is a very important emotion that deserves respect.
Fear keeps you safe; it stops you from doing things that may harm you. The more you disrespect your feelings of fear, the worse they will get because your brain will keep intensifying the fear until you finally pay attention to your instincts.
People have a fear of riding horses for two main reasons: they've had a terrible accident, or they have had scary situations with a horse that they did not feel safe with. Either way, the brain takes action and warns you not to go there again. That's a good instinct for self-preservation and survival.
The Natural Horsemanship Approach To Overcoming Fear
Overcoming a fear of riding horses starts with respecting it, whether the danger is real or imagined. The brain does not make a distinction; in both cases the fear is exactly the same. Whatever the situation, a nervous rider on a large prey animal is not a good combination. Horses need people to be cool, calm, and confident leaders, and when we are not, the horse will fall apart or take over.
Some people are naturally less confident individuals, and they need to learn how to become confident with horses. Others are getting on horses that are out of control to varying degrees and putting themselves into dangerous situations, mainly because they've been told to just get on and show the horse who's boss. We don't think this approach is effective at all; in fact, fear can get so bad that people give up on their dream and stop riding altogether.
Parelli Horse Training takes a natural approach to shifting fear. This might involve strategies that you can do in simulation – without even going near your horse – to retrain your brain. It's also critically important that you learn how to help your horse be safe to ride. In our Natural Rider DVD we discuss fear and how to overcome it. More details can be found in our Four Savvys.
We invite you to release your fear of riding horses and begin to enjoy the wonderful pleasures that await you in exploring a balanced, loving and anxiety-free relationship with your horse.
Visit Parelli Savvy Club for more educational articles and videos designed to inspire, empower and educate horse owners of all levels.

ED Magedson – Founder
Ripoff Report
ACLS Training Association818 SW 3rd Ave ste. 1128 Portland, Oregon USA
ACLS Training Association False ACLS certification and cards. Warning!! Do not get tricked into using this false company!! Portland Oregon
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I am a certified Firefighter/Paramedic here in the state of Florida. My American Heart Association ACLS certification was set to expire at the end of November, 2012, so I needed to renew. Before I paid $175 and took the course with this service, I called and spoke to someone for verification. They assured me that this was an American Heart Association accredited facility and that American Heart Association guidelines were used. They also assured me that the card I would be receiving would be accepted by the Fire Departments I would be applying to, here in the state of Florida, but it is not! This card is of absolutely no use to me since Departments will not accept it, and it is not a valid American Heart Association ACLS card. This "company" is trying to keep my money.
As soon as I found this out, I immediately contacted the company, but no one ever answered. Instead the phone would ring a few times and go to voicemail. Someone would then call back from a completely different area code number (most likely a cell phone), but they would say I would have to submit an email because they couldn't help me. After submitting multiple emails to their "administration department", they just told me they wouldn't refund my money because I had already taken the course. I am not disputing that I took the course; I am disputing the fact that they falsely advertised themselves as an American Heart Association accredited company, and I was not given the proper certification that I earned and was assured.
I am definitely expecting this "company" to refund me the $175 that I paid to them thinking that this was a legitimate ACLS re-certification process, but this has not happened yet! What they are doing is wrong and is a scam. I am taking the necessary steps to hopefully ensure that others do not get misled by them in the future.

Fire-Tongue HTML version
Clearly as though he had stood beside her, she seemed to hear the beloved
voice of her father. It was imagination, of course, she knew this; but it was
uncannily real.
She thought that he was calling her, urgently, beseechingly:
"Phil.... Phil...."
24. The Screen Of Gold
Paul Harley raised his aching head and looked wearily about him. At first, as
might be expected, he thought that he was dreaming. He lay upon a low divan
and could only suppose that he had been transported to India.
Slowly, painfully, memory reasserted itself and he realized that he had been
rendered unconscious by the blow of a sandbag or some similar weapon while
telephoning from the station master's office at Lower Claybury. How long a time
had elapsed since that moment he was unable to judge, for his watch had been
removed from his pocket. He stared about him with a sort of fearful interest. He
lay in a small barely furnished room having white distempered walls, wholly
undecorated. Its few appointments were Oriental, and the only window which it
boasted was set so high as to be well out of reach. Moreover, it was iron-barred,
and at the moment admitted no light, whether because it did not communicate
with the outer world, or because night was fallen, he was unable to tell.
There were two doors in the room, one of very massive construction, and the
other a smaller one. The place was dimly lighted by a brass lantern which hung
from the ceiling. Harley stood up, staggered slightly, and then sat down again.
"My God," he groaned and raised his hand to his head.
For a few moments he remained seated, victim of a deadly nausea. Then,
clenching his jaws grimly, again he stood up, and this time succeeded in
reaching the heavy door.

FERGUSON VOICEs: DISRUPTING THE FRAME
PROOF: Media for Social Justice and the University Of Dayton's Human Rights Center launched the latest PROOF exhibition, "Ferguson Voices: Disrupting the Frame" at the Roesch Library at the University of Dayton in January 2017. Part of the Moral Courage Project, the exhibition features photographs from Mark Katzman.
The people of Ferguson have a story to tell – and one that the majority of those in the United States have not heard or fully understood.
This story is even more urgent today.
The death of Michael Brown sparked outrage and launched a movement due to what many have known to be true throughout America's history: For too long people of color have been systematically targeted and criminalized.
Ferguson isn't the only community where disenfranchisement and inequality is manifest,but it has become a symbol. "Ferguson is everywhere" became the rallying cry in the days, months and years since Michael's death.
The stories and images captured in Ferguson Voices: Disrupting the Frame are a testament not only to the systemic discrimination that the Ferguson protests laid bare, but also to the power of transformative action taken to foster community, accountability and justice.
Contact us if you would like more information on hiring Ferguson Voices: Disrupting the Frame, or how to get involved in the Moral Courage Project.
PROOF uses visual storytelling and Education to inspire action on human rights.

Three Absecon officers were assaulted by a woman accused of a hit and run Friday night in Atlantic City, police said.
Atlantic City police contacted Absecon about a driver who hit a vehicle in Atlantic City at 7:53 p.m. and drove toward Absecon.
Police stopped the vehicle on Route 30. The driver, whom police did not identify Friday night, became combative with officers who asked her to exit the vehicle, authorities said.
During the arrest she began to assault the three officers at the scene, police said.
Two officers received minor injuries and were taken to a hospital as a precaution, police said.
Police did not release the charges against the suspect Friday night.

Call your credit card company and see if they will take action on your behalf.
This is a discussion on Do not buy from LTDAMMO.com within the Defensive Ammunition & Ballistics forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Not sure if this is the right spot to post this but here it goes. I ordered 10 boxes of PMC 45 ammo on May ...
Not sure if this is the right spot to post this but here it goes. I ordered 10 boxes of PMC 45 ammo on May 12th and it still has not even shipped, all it says is processing. Of course the money was taken out of my account almost immediatey, totaling about $200. I have emailed them 4 times and called and have not recieved any response to date. I am not sure what is going on but wanted to make everyone aware of the problem I am having. I can understand if there is a issue with supply or what not. All I need is a response with a explanation and I would probably be ok with it. Needless to say I will never purchase another item from them. Customer service is key to a succesful business and it is obvious they don't have good cs.
Peace the old fashion way......

Yea, I plan on calling my bank tommorow to see if they will help. I belong to a credit union and they are pretty good about helping. Actually have had this happen to me before. I buy alot online.
Peace the old fashion way......
Good luck. Something sounds fishy by them not answering your emails.

What did they say to you when you called their phone number? I would certainly give them a phone call, if you have not already.
There phones go to a a message saying to email them. I thought the same thing about the emails going to another folder so I have been checking them all.
Peace the old fashion way......
That does not sound at all right. A legitimate company would never do that to their customers. A legitimate vendor would also have a FAX number listed too. These are Red Flags, in my opinion.
A WHOIS lookup on their web address has no contact info for this company. It goes to an Internet Hosting and Security Website called TVCNET.com However, equally disturbing, the WHOIS info does not include any phone number or email address for this web hosting and security company either! Going to the company's website produces a number in California though: ( 619) 479-6637 I guess that you could try calling that number to try to find out who these folks at LTDammo.com really are.
However, it gets even worse, though, as I see that there are complaints on the Internet claiming that this firm TVCNET is doing unethical things regarding its security services it sells!! You can read this story here:

You may have perhaps hooked yourself up with a bunch of shady and unscrupulous folks, I fear. This does not look very good at all. Let your bank know all of this, and let's hope that they can help protect your money.
The solution is real simple. Call the number on the back of your credit/debit card and tell the bank you placed an order on line and the goods were never delivered and the vender is not communicating. Tell them you want the charge reveresed immediately. Within 48 hours you should have the money back in your account if it was a debit card or a credit issued back to you if you used a credit card. The bank then reverses the funds transfer to the merchant and they have so many days to provide proof you made the purchase and that it was delivered to you. While this dispute resolution process is going on between your bank and the merchant you have your money back and the merchant is out of luck.
Many people don't realize how much power they have as customers using plastic. The banks are on the side of the customer where the merchant is presumed guilty untill proven innocent.
To all you current and former military ... thank you for your service! Let no one forget that the sacrifices you have made allow us the freedoms we enjoy.
