Take a Break—For Renewal
House of Cards
House of Cards is a new American political drama released on Netflix instead of a traditional tv channel. Here are three thoughts on the series after having seen the first nine episodes.First, one can't help thinking of Tolkien's description of men "who above all else desire power" while watching the series. The show is part Shakespearean tragedy in the mold of Macbeth and part Nietzschean homage to the over-man, played with consummate skill by Kevin Spacey. The difference, of cours … [Read more...]
Why Choose Theology?
A defense of the liberal arts will almost always also be a defense of theology, because the principals that undergird the liberal arts always have theological implications. Take the recent talk Mark Roche recently gave on why one should choose a liberal arts education. I was struck by how his defense of liberal education could be extended to achieve an understanding the role of theology in dealing with existential questions in life more broadly. Roche argued, in a pretty typical fashion, that … [Read more...]
Literature Alone Won't Save Us
The New Yorker's faith in literature has been shaken by the fact that a great reader like President Obama is capable of ordering drone strikes (h/t FF contributor Blake Neff). In an article published on their site yesterday ("A Reader's War"), Teju Cole gushes about Obama's literary sophistication: Barack Obama is an elegant and literate man with a cosmopolitan sense of the world. He is widely read in philosophy, literature, and history—as befits a former law professor—and he has sho … [Read more...]
Richard Dawkins Feels Sorry for Priests
The reactions to this morning's announcement that Pope Benedict XVI will be stepping down have been variously funny, insightful, and annoying. Richard Dawkins has one of the best. He tweeted:He needn't concern himself. As Forbes magazine points out extensive research shows that clergyman is the world's happiest job. Dawkins would be baffled; he might gain some clarity by reading Servais Pinckaers' book The Pursuit of Happiness - God's Way: Living the Beatitudes. For a helpful piece on … [Read more...]
"There's Nothing Wrong with America that Another Depression Couldn't Fix"
Before yesterday, I would have thought my chances of encountering a popular rap song that rejects materialism were slim. But as I was working, I turned on my Spotify, went to the top hits playlist, and clicked on the most popular song. It was Thrift Shop feat. Wanz by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. It's a song that, at least on the surface, celebrates buying clothes from thrift stores and rejecting the American obsession with expensive brands. I'm apparently way behind the times finding thi … [Read more...]
The Ubiquity of Mental Illness
In a recent Grantland piece, Chuck Klosterman wrote about the strange saga of Royce White, a first round NBA draft pick out of Iowa State University. White has been in the news because he has been diagnosed with a mental illness that, amongst other things, causes him extreme anxiety when flying. His illness is one of the many factors feeding into his ongoing contractual dispute with the Houston Rockets; White wants an independent doctor to be assigned to him who will determine when he is and is … [Read more...]

Poem by: Charlax
Status: Finished
Genre: Action and Adventure
Intitled to the facts of asertation no dissertation can preclude the annoying habit of the thief of making brothers hate one another as they try to fall asleep. One day can last a thousand years the fear inside of come apart at seams released. The EgYpt bag that eye am fond of carry on and off the bus was trashed out turned upside down and shaken all the things in this world that eye possessed was compromised and eye did nothing all not long but cuss a lot. Karma got me as iff eye am a thief myself destined to have nothing yet eye never steal eye take from others only iff they steal it first from eye. The dumpster is a good source for materials eye lie never eye jump in and out unless it's gone already taken by the rubber tramps so smart they gather all the clothing up in boxes and in back of truck is where the things eye need is now located. They steal them. Same as eye take them from the trash so who is this the answer twice eye noted all the power off the batteries and radios just gone. The only other things that's missing is the magazines eye am reading and some eating stuff a coyote or a javalina is not capable of doing this. It was human and he left his hat a same sort of karma he lost it when he was pilfering my oat bars and my candy sack. Not even needed bye the eye eye have the hat underneath mye cap a different color than eye had it was not much better than the ones eye have but lean and clean and laundry done perhaps he had a different one on head and this fell from out of pocket in his stead when he was standing there too long and looking in mye stuff. Believe me when eye tell ewe this eye do not like to cuss it is a reaction to the fact that stuff is gone and stolen from. Mye poor neighbor got it most for it was him that started it he took some things when he was newly inn and eye assume it is still him that's stealing it. Just remember eye have the hat it gives some solace and eye carry one of mine upon the back pack not leaving anything of value in the EgYpt bag at nite just now a ChillyWilly.

Acceptable work? How much should payment be?
We went to a local (Wisconsin) door and cabinet place to order solid flat panel doors, frames, and trim. We paid for all materials and finishing. We hired a person to come out and install the 12 doors & trim. The quote came back at $800.
On Tuesday he arrived at 7:30am and left by 2pm - he hung 9 doors (the other three needed to be re-routed as they swung the wrong way)
On Wednesday he needed to build in a closet 1 foot as the doors were ordered to small - we provided 2x4's, he provided the rest. He arrived at 7am and left by 2pm the remaining 9 doors were trimmed out.
Here is the issue... The trim is cracked through at every spot there was a nail or the mitered corners to not line up. We ordered replacement trim 50 pieces at 7 foot lengths. He claims some can be selvaged and recut and thinks only 20 needed to be reordered.
We do not want him back in to finish the work and are already looking for a replacement. We have yet to "square up" on payment as he said he would over 20 pieces of replacement but I don't think he is entitled to the $800 quote as the work needs to be re-done.
Pictures available at http://sbrault.myphotoalbum.com/view...umName=album01
What would be a fair compromise?
I agree with you. The installation is poor. How did you get this guy??
How are the doors hung, do they work and close fine??
If so he is entitled to something. I would give him 1/3rd of whats owed . and chalk the rest up to lack of experience of hiring a contractor.
By law he does have the option of making things right. before you through him off the job. But what I can see from the photo's he lacks the skills and high standards to take a second chance on the project. Talk to him and come to a compromise that both of you can agree upon. He Works from 7.30-2.00pm sounds like he has a 4.00-12.0am job. Is he licensed and insured???
If not use this to your advantage to negotiate your payout to him.(report him) Good luck Bob.
I would agree that it is poor. Some of them could be fixed. Not all of them need to be replaced. The good sections of long pieces could be used to make short pieces. The splits look like poor material.
This guy came very highly recommended from co-workers. They are all very shocked with my pictures. He is recently retired from my place of employement. He did carpentry on the side during his working career and is now doing more full time in his retirement.
The doors do work and close fine. Everything was routed and pre-hung.
It was a cash job on the side - so there is no formal contract in place so we did not even discuss him being licensed and insured.
It has been a very big learning experence & I just want to know what would be fair/reasonable for everyone involved.
Your first mistake was not requesting a contract. You have little leverage against him, other than appealing to his professional ethics, assuming he has any.
I've seen hardwood like that split before (I trimmed a kitchen in hickory which was prone to splitting) and after the first split, figured that predrilling and hand nailing was be required.
AT any rate, you need to sit down with the guy, explain your disatisfaction, and arrive at a mutually agreeable compensation for the work that was done. Only you can determine how much it is worth to you,
As for how much you pay for this bad install...one or both of you is going to end up being unhappy.
P.S. Maybe because of him knowing a lot of the same people you do, you'll have an amicable outcome, just don't count on it.
Hack job. I don't care how highly he came recommended. That guy is NO CARPENTER.
Let me say this, I have met many people that do all kinds of "work on the side" and also claim to be able to do all kinds of "home improvements".
Many of them claim to know how to do carpentry - in connection with the above- ..... but the final product, often reveals all.
Well...this really is a DIY site, not a "how much" site
For a real contractor then maybe we could throw out a few numbers
But obviously (or maybe not obviously), someone operating under the radar (and possibly illegally) should not be charging even close to what a professional would
My personal assumption is he's not recently retired from carpentry
That would also lower the "value" quite a bit more
I agree that he's a terrible trim carpenter. That's very amateur DIY level work, not the level of work you should expect from a supposed professional that's charging you money. That's the kind of work I see on a regular basis where someone that doesn't know how to do carpentry has a friend help them and pays them in beer. I've installed a lot of trim in my day, but I have no idea how you could crack the edge of the casing that badly with a trim nail...And if I did, I'd never consider leaving it. His miters don't even come close to meeting. I could go on.
You need to ask him to come over to express your concerns in a professional manner. Leave the money out of it. Show him parts of his work that you consider to be acceptable work, and tell him that is what you expect at all the joints. If he wants the money "owed" to him, assume that you'll never see him again before deciding whether or not to pay him.
I'd say you're all wet on materials costs. A professional trim carpenter would have ordered the material himself, not asked you to source it. That way, if he messes a piece up, it is on him. I think that he should make the installation right, but you should probably pay for the materials and chalk it up to experience.
Yeah, it looks like he was using a 16 or even 15 gauge nailer, which is much more likely to crack the slim parts of the casing than an 18 ga. nailer.
Have him get some of these (yeah, right...I know)...http://www.miterclamp.com/ ....and assemble the casing on the a table/floor prior to installaion....a little glue in the miter and these clamps and you've got a perfectly put together miter.
He can then use a bead of construction adhesive on the back of the casing and a 23 ga. nailer for nailing to the door jamb (18 ga. into the sheetrock on the fatter part of the trim, 15/16 ga. will work if he stays away from the edges, but you have the bigger nail holes, plus the bigger nails won't be necessary if you use the construction adhesive) and viola... no cracks.
Of course if you want to remove the trim, get ready for some sheetrock repair...:yes:
Granted, I know this is a fantasy scenario (and exactly how I would do it) for someone who obviously cares little for the end result (your "carpenter")....but you never know, he may win the lotto and decide to invest in some good quality tools.:whistling2:
Good luck
For the work you described, I would have charged you $1850.00 plus any materials. You should pay the man, you got exactly what you had coming.
Pay the man. Redo the trim yourself . You got a great deal on 12 maple doors. Some time you actully get what you pay for!!

Q&A with Red Wanting Blue; Playing Vinyl November 29th
By Al Kaufman
Red Wanting Blue is five bearded guys from Columbus, Ohio who believe in the no-frills pop-rock thing. There will be no costume changes during their shows. They may get a little rootsy on you, or bring in a bit of a '70s groove, but that's because they like those sounds, not because they're looking for a gimmicky single. They sound like every good local bar band across the country that plays for the love of playing (and for the free beer). They bring this love to Vinyl on Thursday, November 29th.
After a few self-releases, the band put out this year's From the Vanishing Point on Fanatic Records. Band leader Scott Terry talked about the band and the record industry in general, as well as what it is like to be a band from a swing state during a Presidential election year.
Why do you guys have so much facial hair?
Ooh, straight out the gate with a good one. Well, let's see. You know I've always looked at shaving like a chore, and it irritates me that it seems to be the norm of the working class. To be clean-shaven, I mean. So, I guess on some level we take pride in our facial hair. They're like trophies that represent surviving in the 21st century without a real job. But mostly, we are just pretty lazy when it comes to man grooming.
You're a straight ahead rock band in the vein of Pearl Jam, yet you can whip out the mandolins, ukuleles, and banjos for songs like "Walking Shoes" and "Cocaine." Where does that side of you come from?
I think that much of our "rootsier" sound comes from being kicked around the mid-west for as long as we have. I grew up on the east coast and rock 'n' roll, and hoped that my music was gonna rub off on what I saw as "my present day" music scene. And you know, somewhere during all of my trying, I guess the mid-west rubbed off just as much on me. When I was a kid, I dreamed of wearing black leather pants like Bono, and red hair like Scott Weiland. Nowadays, I'm more interested in Bruce Springsteen's jeans and Tom Waits' hat.
You hail from Ohio, one of the infamous swing states in the last election. Were you happy to be on the road while all that was going on?
Surprisingly, it didn't really have that much of an impact on us this election. I would have rather watched the debates on television than listen on the radio in the bus, but that's about it. We didn't run into too much trouble this tour. Having a name like Red Wanting Blue and coming from the big swing state's capitol city, we've had a lot of people take us as a political band over the years. People in San Francisco thinking we were sent from the Young Republican's Party to convert the liberals. Folks in Maryland who thought we were gonna burn presidential masks on stage and warp the minds of the youth. Yeah, we get it from both sides.
Springsteen and Jay Z were campaigning for Obama while Kid Rock and Meat Loaf were on Romney's side. Do you get involved in politics as a band?
Not really. We have our own political beliefs, but for the time being we have no plans to use our stage as a political platform. I don't want to alienate anyone out there from singing along with one of our songs. For now, we are Switzerland.
You put out a few self-releases before putting out From the Vanishing Point on Fanatic Records. Many artists are moving away from record labels. How has the experience been for you?
It's been a real blessing for us. To make it clear, artists are moving away from the big labels and finding themselves being better represented by the smaller labels. It makes sense. They can move quicker and have far less bureaucracy to deal with. Artists actually have a chance to develop on the smaller label. Fanatic Records shares our Mom and Pop approach to the business side of the music industry. They have done an amazing job for us. My favorite thing about Fanatic is their passion for our band. They really believe in us, and it shows in the progress we've made since signing with them. You want my thoughts on labels? Well, here it is. Go find someone who believes in you. That's worth more than any tour bus, signing bonus or record deal advance. At the end of the day, it's what really matters. This industry is a shitstorm, kids. So as far as Red Wanting Blue is concerned, Fanatic Records has the best umbrella.
Red Wanting Blue play with Crowfield at Vinyl, Thursday, November 29th.

Comfortable & Spacious
Mrs Fordy's was perfect for us and our two labradors. Comfortably furnished, bright, clean and welcoming. Nice comfy bed and plenty of storage space. No noise - we slept like logs! Perfectly positioned to access both Beadnell to the right and Seahouses to the left but the best is the wonderful beach directly across the road! The weather was very kind, quite breezy (sometimes blustery!) on the beach as you would expect, so wind/water proof jackets essential. The coast was a revelation, huge areas of perfect sandy beach, absolutely beautiful and as deserted as we had been told. The dogs loved it and entertained us and others with their exuberant antics! Pity the castles (Alnwick & Bamburgh) do not allow dogs in their grounds/gardens. Highly recommend Annstead Farm, Mrs Fordy's cottage and Northumbria. We will be back!
Activity and Interests
Literally 3 minutes walk from your cottage door and you can be standing on Annstead Beach, arguably one of the best stretches of virtually deserted sandy beach in Northumberland!
Nearest Airports are Newcastle (60 miles) and Edinburgh (85 miles)
Nearest train stations are to the north Berwick upon Tweed (25 miles) and to the south Alnmouth (15 miles) - main London to Edinburgh line. Car is recommened but not essential.
Beadnell and Seahouses are the nearest villages - both no more than a mile either side of the farm. Farne Island boat trips depart from Seahouse Harbour. Bamburgh Castle (5 minute drive). Holy Island (30 minute drive). Alnwick (20 minutes).
Further Details:
Beadnell, Seahouses and Bamburgh between them have an abundance of good quality restaurants, pubs and take aways.
Seahouses has a Doctors, Bank, Post Office, Supermarket, Butchers, Bakers, etc.
Nearest hospitals with A&E are Alnwick and Berwick.
Larger Supermarkets - Tesco, Morrisons, Asda, Aldi & M&S Food in Berwick. Sainsburys, Morrisons and Lidle in Alnwick.
Hogwarts School from the 1st Harry Potter Film is in fact Alnwick Castle, with its magificient treehouse and gardens - well worth a visit.

S-10 Digital Dash questions
Hi everyone newbie here,
I'm looking to install a Digital Dash from a 89 or 90 S-10 Blazer into my street rod. my question is does the cluster run off of the ECM or does it run off of the engine sensors. another question I have is would it (tach) work with a V8? I know they were designed for V6 vehicles. Well thanks in advance for the help....
I know this post is a lil old
I too am looking for some info on a digital dash...Anyone know if i can just make an adapter to use a digital dash in place of a standard dash?.. In otherwords are the sensors the same on S-10 with and without a digital dash?...Seems to me they would be
As for the tach I would say that would work but it may read high on a v8...but i would think there would be a way to fine tune it down..? Some sort of adjustment... There would have to be some way to calibrate it wouldn't there?
Sorry I can't offer much helpful information other than I know for sure that a friend of mine has installed Buick (Reatta or Somerset models) digital dash clusters in old cars. I never inquired how he adapted them or made them work.
Re: S-10 Digital Dash questions
It can be done with much work and stripping of the doner vehicle...and... Trial and error elimination (some senders do go to the ECM like TCC ,transmission torque converter lockup, speed sensor, for monitoring Vehicle speed while driving at the computer, and several other monitor functions)
IMO..I think it's much easier (and maybe cheaper) To order an after~market Kit ...which comes complete with sensors, harness, and best of all..a Diagram & warranty!
The Tach will work on a V8 but be grossly in error...you can check the circuit card for a selector switch, 4,6,or 8 and set it appropriately. Or on most stockers, you will need a new Calibration / repair card (the guts of the tach) for an 8 cylinder..
On a straight upgrade/swap you should be able to do that no problem, in fact the wires may already be in your stock harness as "spares" ...
The EASY way to check senders, is go to your local auto parts store and get the PN's for D'arsonal (analog) and digital senders if they differ, pull them off your doner car...or buy new ones.

The S-10 cluster doesn't run from the ECM or a BCM. You can wire it up to your sensors (provided they have the right type of output) directly.
The exception is the speedo - you need to have a digital speedo output from your transmission. There are adapters out there that will convert a cable-driven speedo to a digital signal. IIRC, the S-10 speedo takes 2000 PPM for a signal, many digital speedos and transmission sending units take 4000 PPM. Find a DRAC module out of a '90 S-10 and plug it in between the tranny and the cluster. by soldering a DIP switch into the DRAC, you can calibrate your speedo quite easily - google this one for details, it's been a while since I've done it. As long as you have a tranny with digital output, this will be an easy hurdle. Worst-case scenario, take the drac to a local electronics shop with some details from your google search and they can solder the calibration DIP switches in for you.
The tach can be changed to read correctly for a V8 by replacing a capacitor on the speedo circuit. There's a few details on this in the JTR V8 conversion manual but I don't know if they specifically cover the digital clusters. This one should be google-able as well.
Here's a few links I googled to get you started:
In the DRAC link above, they show how to figure out your speedometer ratio with a calculator. I just drove down the highway with a hand-held GPS unit and flicked switches until the speedo looked good.
Hope this helps, and just in case I don't check back here soon enough, feel free to PM me with questions.

Paris 2-0 Marseille Published at
A Clasico win to start the week!
Ibra's 22nd Ligue 1 goal, Beckham's debut and, of course, three points against OM: Mission accomplished in the Clasico for Paris-SG, in the snow at the Parc. It was an ideal evening for league leaders...
All eyes were on this top of the table Clasico, the final match of Week 26, where leaders Paris took on archrivals Marseille, fighting for a place on the podium, just five points adrift.
When you add to that the anticipation of David Beckham's debut in a PSG shirt and all the ingredients were in place for a huge match of football.
It was one-way traffic at the start with the home side dominating. The 44,984 spectators crammed into the Parc des Princes had just been treated to Brazilian great Ronaldo taking the guest kick-off before Ibrahimovic released Lavezzi whose fierce shot cannoned back off Mandanda's post with the 'keeper beaten all ends up (1')! Game on in the Le Classique!
Game on for Lucas, too! Ten minutes later the Brazilian prodigy brought the crowd to their feet with a typically electric acceleration. He cut inside from the right and unleashed a ferocious drive from 25m out that deflected off Nkoulou, and into the back of the net (1-0,11')!
The Rouge et Bleu opening storm passed and the hosts' 'keeper Salvateur Sirigu was called on twice in as many minutes to deny Barton (31') and then Kadir (32').
Lavezzi was untenable down that left hand side and he went close to setting up Ibrahimovic, only for new OM signing Romao to come to the visitors' rescue (38').
With half-time approaching, Valbuena and Gignac brought the best out of PSG custodian. Impeccable in dealing with the former's free-kick (41'), Sirigu then palmed over an acrobatic Gignac effort (42')!
The second half began at a million miles an hour as Valbuena went weithin centimetres of an equaliser from an impossible angle (48').
The response was Argentinian. Lavezzi played in Pastore, who was denied by Mandanda (53').
The France international goalie then watched on as his opposite number kept PSG in front. Gignac (61'), Ayew (72') and Fanni (87') were all denied by a world class display from Sirigu.
At the same time, the home crowd reserved a monumental welcoming ovation to the club's 400th player, a certain David Beckham (75').
The English footballing icon played his part in settling the game in the home side's favour. In stoppage time at the end of the game, Ménez played a one-two with Beckham before driving the ball to the near post where Ibrahimovic was on hand to turn home his 22nd goal of a prolific campaign (2-0, 90+1')!
Solid and the back and ruthless in front of goal, Paris Saint-Germain recorded their 16th victory of the season, that also featured Armand 400th Ligue 1 match. The win sees Ancelotti's side move eight points ahead of OM and three ahead of Lyon.
It was the perfect way to wamr-up for Wednesday's rematch when Paris host… OM in the headline clash in the last 16 of the Coupe de France. Le Classique is very much in vogue in late February...

Bapaume to Bullecourt: the fighting in France, 1917
Tuesday 3 April 2007 by Craig Tibbitts. 1 comment
To Flanders Fields, 1917, Bapaume, Battles
At the beginning of 1917 victory seemed nowhere in sight. However for a while, from late February, hopes were lifted. Along the Somme front line and elsewhere, the Germans began to withdraw several kilometres to their newly-developed defensive zone which the British dubbed "the Hindenburg Line". This apparent retreat was a tonic for the allies who advanced in pursuit. But it was an illusion; the Germans were just staging a voluntary withdrawal to stronger and better prepared positions. It was against these solid defences at a point near the village of Bullecourt that four Australian divisions, one after the other, were thrown during April and May 1917.
Basic Map: Bapaume to Bullecourt from the Official History Vol IV, p 156

The capture of Bapaume
Bapaume was a large German-held town almost within sight of the Australians' trench lines throughout the winter months on the Somme. Suddenly, from 24 February 1917 it became evident that the enemy was retiring. The British advanced after them, and by the morning of 17 March Australian troops reached the outskirts of Bapaume. The soldiers' heightened spirits were exemplified by the band of the 5th Australian Brigade playing amid the burning ruins as they marched into the old town square on the 19th. However booby traps and time bombs had been left behind; one exploded in the town hall a week later burying men and killing twenty-five.
'Rarely did Australian soldiers experience such exhilaration as on that morning when, with the Somme morass finally behind them, they skirmished across green fields.' C.E.W. Bean, Anzac to Amiens
Fighting up to Bullecourt
From February 1917 the German forces facing the Australians began withdrawing to the Hindenburg Line. The Australians pursued them and there was heavy fighting around a network of small villages. Vaulx-Vraucourt, Morchies and Beaumetz were among those captured. But there was stiffer resistance during the attempts to take Lagnicourt, Noreuil and Hermies; the initial hasty attempt to take Noreuil was repulsed. In some of these sharp actions over three weeks five Australians won the Victoria Cross. Finally, by 9 April the vital string of villages leading up to the Hindenburg Line was in British hands. Before the Australians, and within the broad German line of entrenchments and barbed-wire, stood the fortified village of Bullecourt.

Peter Skinner
In the War Diaries of Grandfather Dennis Grieve 14th Battery 5th Field Artillery Brigade, (Vaulx, Lagnicourt) several mentions are made of a "Chinese Bombartment" being laid on.
Does anyone know what this was?
Thank you,
Peter SkinnerEditor's comment: Hello Peter. 'Chinese attacks' were diversions intended to draw enemy attention away from the real area to be attacked. A Chinese bombardment would hit an area with the hope that the enemy would think it preparatory to a big attack, and cause him to move forces there, hopefully weakening the area where the real one would go in. At Passchendaele, Chinese attacks also included the use of dummy soldiers (difficult to detect from the real thing at night), which would be used to give the impression of troops massing for an assault. Sometimes they even used elaborate systems of ropes and pulleys to make the dummies move around and pop up suddenly in no-man's-land. This was also intended to unsettle and unnerve the enemy, keeping him on edge, expecting an imminent attack. Very British...

Rating & Content Info
Why is Disturbia rated PG-13? Disturbia is rated PG-13 by the MPAA for sequences of terror and violence, and some sensuality.
After spending the afternoon fishing, Kale and his father are involved in a horrific automobile accident that claims one life and causes bloody injuries in another person. Before the incident, Kale drives along a winding road while talking on his cellphone. At school, Kale punches his teacher in the face after he inconsiderately brings up the accident. Assigned to house arrest, Kale plays video games, watches trash TV and spies on the neighbors. He observes a woman swim in a bikini and later undress (back nudity is seen). He also sees young boys viewing pornography. (Distant but distinct scenes of partially concealed female frontal nudity are portrayed.) Blood-splattered household items and decomposing corpses are shown. During a fight with an intruder, Kale and the man exchange punches, and use furniture, sports equipment and kitchen implements as weapons. Characters are impaled with garden tools, stabbed, forcefully hit and kidnapped. Profanities, crude terms for body parts and frequent scatological slang is used.

Tax Issues for Home-Based Businesses
Depending upon your ownership status of the business, you are faced with certain
decisions that will have to be made when filing your income taxes.
My first and foremost advice to you would be to either retain the services of an
accountant, a tax professional, or take a course in tax preparation so that you can
become better informed of your options and what each entails.
As a home-based business owner, you can take advantage of certain deductions that
are allowed by the IRS. The basic rule of thumb is that if the money was spent on
your business in some way, either all or a portion of it may possibly be deductible.
Here is a list of deductions you may be able to use:
• Office supplies.
• Postage expenses.
• Periodicals, books, and magazines for the business.
• Telephone bill. If the telephone is a business line, the entire expense
for the year may be written off as a deduction. If you use your home
telephone line for business, only a portion is an allowed deductible
• All long distance calls made from your home phone for your business
should be clearly marked on the telephone bill as proof that they relate
to the business. A telephone line used solely for your computer
modem and/or fax machine may be deductible if the computer and/or
fax machine are used strictly for business.
• Business trips. Expenses directly related to business travel are allowed
deductions. Make sure you save all receipts.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
This company charges a $995 fee for equipment leasing then refuses to refund your money when they fail to complete the deal. They took a month to send the refund check (which they claim was lost in the mail).
When they are trying to get your money, they answer emails and the phone, once they have ripped you off, you cant get a hold of them. Typical SCAM behavior
I strongly recomment NOT dealing with this company unless you want to give them money for doing nothing.

Best Of :: People & Places
Finally a reason to turn on AM radio again. Neil Rogers, the self-proclaimed fat fag, has no peer as far as we're concerned. His timing couldn't have been better for returning to the airwaves after a seven-month hiatus resulting from his nasty spat with WIOD-AM (610). Armed with a new million-dollar contract, Rogers took up his 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. time slot on WQAM just in time for sexual hysteria to explode in Washington. And he never missed an opportunity to launch a funny, or at times profane, insult. Rogers spent the year gleefully attacking the Republican Party, branding Henry Hyde and Kenneth Starr "nazis" more often than he hit the button for his trademark "No!" sound bite. Rogers is also a welcome wilderness voice in relentlessly ripping Wayne Huizenga. The fact that WQAM broadcasts the play-by-play for the Huizenga-owned Dolphins and Panthers merely eggs him on.
A yellow road-sign hanging from a tree warns "Butterfly Crossing," and the traffic is indeed intense. Dozens of yellow-and-black-striped zebras and classic monarch butterflies swoop, golden sulphurs hover high above, and orange julias flit about the garden that wraps around building contractor Ralph Johnson's Fort Lauderdale home. More than a year ago, Johnson and a friend, Bonnie Campbell, began courting butterflies. They sought books and seminars to find out which plants -- including cassia, milkweed, passion vine, and the wine-stained Dutchman's pipe -- attract the delicate creatures. Now Johnson and Campbell have their own photo album that tracks caterpillars through the pupa stage to full-blown butterflies and a log in which they've noted 13 species that have paid them a visit and as many as 70 sightings in the garden at one time. Johnson talks about putting together a guide to cultivating butterflies in South Florida and recently gave an impromptu instructional tour to a stranger who drove into his driveway and asked for his secret. He is already offering seedlings to his neighbors, sprinkling pollenlike fairy dust in the hope of creating a block-long private Butterfly World.
It's a suitably ironic commentary on the dismal state of so much South Florida architecture that the most striking piece of work around is this gloriously gratuitous bit of design from the world-renowned firm of Arquitectonica, which has offices in Miami. Built a decade ago, this marble-and-ceramic "stairway to nowhere" flies in the face of the notion that form should follow function in architecture. It's a flashy construction of geometric shapes fashioned from bright, shiny blue and red tiles and a checkerboard slab of gray marble, assembled with steps and railings to suggest a Jetsons-style confluence of the '50s and futurism. The overall effect is that of a sort of deranged el train station, and the punch line is that, once you ascend the stairs, there's nowhere to go -- the walkways extending from the stairs into the terminal lead to nonexistent train tracks. The structure is a piece of pure absurdist eye candy.
Those are Ben Franklins you smell in the lobby of the Chesterfield Hotel. Crisp and tightly packed in a gold money clip, placed neatly inside the interior pocket of a pinstriped suit jacket. The portly gentleman wearing the suit saunters, Dominican in hand, toward the dark-wood-and-brass bar at the hotel restaurant, the Leopard Lounge. Two dignified middle-aged women with martinis ("Very dry, please") chat at small, low-to-the-ground cocktail tables by the dance floor. A three-piece band croons Sinatra tunes. The portly man with the Dominican smiles at the women and does a two-step past them. Were it not for the friendly bartenders, the live swing and dance music, and the nudes painted on the ceiling in swirls of red and white, the Leopard Lounge might at first glance appear to be too austere a place for even the bluest of blue bloods among us. But since it opened about ten years ago, the Leopard has been real money's top choice for a drink. Yes, there are celebrities: Alan King, Phyllis Diller -- even Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown (when he's not in jail or rehab). But they're bourgeois. Real money is invisible, because real money doesn't boast. And the Leopard Lounge is high society, where discussions of money -- greenbacks, moolah, cash, dough, shekels, secret accounts in the Cayman Islands -- are considered gauche. So if you start chatting with someone at the Leopard Lounge, just assume he or she has more money than God. Or you. And let him or her pick up the tab.
Park your butt on the whitewashed concrete railing on either side of the 11th Avenue bridge, gaze out over the north fork of the New River, and squint. If the sun's low in the sky to the west of Sailboat Bend, and you clamp your lids down just enough to add a blurry sepia tone to the scene, you can imagine that it's 1925. Movies cost a nickel. Kids don't sass their mamas, and small bridges are cranked open and closed by hand. Be patient. It shouldn't take more than a few minutes for a boater to hail the bridge and ask to pass. Then the bridge tender will sound a bell and drop the stop arms. He'll walk to the center of the 48-foot span, poke the business end of an L-shaped handle into a hole in the steel-mesh roadway, and put his back into it, walking the crank in a circle like a pony harnessed to a grist mill. The bridge will swing parallel to the river channel, allowing boats to pass on either side. No motor, no noise, no hurry. Just like the old days. The Snow-Reed (named for two former Fort Lauderdale mayors) is the only metal-truss swing bridge operating in South Florida. Bridge junkies will surely appreciate its rim-bearing pivot design featuring eight rollers and a centrally located wheel. The rest of us will marvel at how smoothly the bridge carves a lazy arc after 74 years and be glad we don't have to crank it open and closed 20 times a day.
Although many bigger charities have much bigger coffers, there's none nobler than Poverello. (The name is an Italian diminutive for "poor little one.") Every dollar raised by this AIDS relief organization, run by volunteers and Fr. William F. Collins, the unassuming but tireless Franciscan priest who started it in 1987, goes directly toward feeding and otherwise assisting people living with HIV. The agency runs a food bank and a fitness center for its more than 6000 clients, as well as a thrift store open to the public. When he's not visiting homes or hospitals or performing memorial services, "Father Bill" can often be seen rubbing elbows with drag queens and strippers as he makes the rounds of fundraising events at the many local gay bars that support his work.

Can Sculptura Be Injected into the Naso Labial Folds and Will It Help Get Rid of the Lines? ive had 2 treatments of sculptra in the cheek area i love it and i want to get a third can it be injected into the folds?
Can Sculptura Be Injected into the Naso Labial Folds and Will It Help Get Rid of the Lines?
Doctor Answers 6
Yes, Sculptra can be used to treat nasolabial folds
Sculptra can be a great treatment to improve the appearance of nasolabial folds. The effects are not immediate like when using Juvederm or Perlane. However, the effects are longer lasting (lasting 2 years or longer).
Sculptra and Nasolabial Folds
I Love Sculptra too. And it sounds like your doctor is doing a great job, since you are so happy. As your cheeks begin to lift from the treatment, you should notice an improvement in your nasolabial folds. When you return for a treatment, if you still need a little volume in your cheeks that is the place to start your injections as this will lift your cheeks, but in addition you can have Sculptra injected along the nasolabial creases.
Sculptra for Nasolabial Folds
Yes, Sculptra may be used for laugh lines. Although, it's not a traditional filler where you will see immediate results. It fills lines in a gradient fashion. It's injected a vial at a time and can take several months before you see final results. Sculptra is a wonderful product for improving depressed areas, like temples, cheeks that have become hallow from the aging process.

Sculptra for treatment of the nasolabial folds
Wrinkle lines or folds are really just the first obvious visible signs of a slow progressive change taking place in all structures of the face. Sculptra is often not injected directly into these wrinkle lines and folds, but rather into multiple areas of the face to treat the volume loss that leads to their appearance. This leads to the subtle and natural-looking results that are so often desired. When injecting Sculptra, I will usually "lift" the cheeks first and then address the nasolabial folds by placing injections there as well.
Web reference: http://www.dorsetstreetdermatology.com/cosmetic-dermatology/sculptra/
Sculptra will improve smile lines
Sculptra can be used to improve smile lines (nasolabial folds) but it is not injected directly into the lines. It is a voluminizing filler, which means it is injected into areas where one loses volume with age, such as the temples, the cheeks, and the jawline. Your smile lines have appeared because of loss of bone, fat pads, and soft tissue in those areas. The smile lines are simply a symptom of the real problem. After it is injected, Sculptra stimulates your body's own natural collagen production. As volume is replaced from this new collagen, lines on the face, such as the smile lines, begin to soften and fade.

Sculptra is great for the NL folds
Sculptra is great for the NL folds. However, it does take at least 4 weeks before you see the effect. Like all fillers in the NL folds, more than one treatment may be required to get full correction.
I should not be used in the lips or the eyelids
Typically the lines over the folds, if you have them will only be slightly improved..
If you have lines in the skin, fillers do not work as well as the fractionated laser.

Sense and Sensibility HTML version
Chapter 2
Mrs. John Dashwood now installed herself mistress of Norland; and her mother
and sisters-in-law were degraded to the condition of visitors. As such, however,
they were treated by her with quiet civility; and by her husband with as much
kindness as he could feel towards anybody beyond himself, his wife, and their
child. He really pressed them, with some earnestness, to consider Norland as
their home; and, as no plan appeared so eligible to Mrs. Dashwood as remaining
there till she could accommodate herself with a house in the neighbourhood, his
invitation was accepted.
A continuance in a place where everything reminded her of former delight, was
exactly what suited her mind. In seasons of cheerfulness, no temper could be
more cheerful than hers, or possess, in a greater degree, that sanguine
expectation of happiness which is happiness itself. But in sorrow she must be
equally carried away by her fancy, and as far beyond consolation as in pleasure
she was beyond alloy.
Mrs. John Dashwood did not at all approve of what her husband intended to do
for his sisters. To take three thousand pounds from the fortune of their dear little
boy would be impoverishing him to the most dreadful degree. She begged him to
think again on the subject. How could he answer it to himself to rob his child, and
his only child too, of so large a sum? And what possible claim could the Miss
Dashwoods, who were related to him only by half blood, which she considered as
no relationship at all, have on his generosity to so large an amount. It was very
well known that no affection was ever supposed to exist between the children of
any man by different marriages; and why was he to ruin himself, and their poor
little Harry, by giving away all his money to his half sisters?
"It was my father's last request to me," replied her husband, "that I should assist
his widow and daughters."
"He did not know what he was talking of, I dare say; ten to one but he was light-
headed at the time. Had he been in his right senses, he could not have thought
of such a thing as begging you to give away half your fortune from your own
"He did not stipulate for any particular sum, my dear Fanny; he only requested
me, in general terms, to assist them, and make their situation more comfortable
than it was in his power to do. Perhaps it would have been as well if he had left it
wholly to myself. He could hardly suppose I should neglect them. But as he
required the promise, I could not do less than give it; at least I thought so at the
time. The promise, therefore, was given, and must be performed. Something
must be done for them whenever they leave Norland and settle in a new home."
"Well, then, let something be done for them; but that something need not be
three thousand pounds. Consider," she added, "that when the money is once
parted with, it never can return. Your sisters will marry, and it will be gone for
ever. If, indeed, it could be restored to our poor little boy. . ."
"Why, to be sure," said her husband, very gravely, "that would make great
difference. The time may come when Harry will regret that so large a sum was

Admissions & Info:
The School of Education (SOE) is committed to advancing theory and professional practice through its programs and the scholarly activities of our faculty. The faculty recognize the significance of education in contemporary life, the potential of education for each individual, and our special responsibilities to produce individuals prepared for the twenty-first century. The school seeks to achieve its goals though creative teaching, rigorous research, and professional service. It is committed to ongoing social change, societal improvement, and advancing individual welfare and potential. Graduates of its programs act as agents of social change through work as health professionals, teachers, researchers, managers, and administrators. They share a professional belief in working towards excellence, equity, community, and diversity.
Beyond SOE's fundamental commitment to its students and alumni who work in the community to advocate for the individual, both domestically and internationally, it also prepares candidates to build a learning society in many diverse environments and for many diverse populations. The mission is to equip graduates of SOE programs to meet individual needs, to nurture the strengths and talents of those they serve, and to provide leadership in public policy arenas.
The Teacher Education Program is anchored in a knowledge-based, research-and values-informed conceptual framework. The framework was developed and adopted by the faculty through almost two years of deliberations. The mission of SOE reflects and reinforces this conceptual framework, which is derived from the teaching, research, professional service, and value commitments of the faculty. It is illustrated below.
The conceptual framework for the School of Education has at its center the core value of Reflection, which is supported through the professional commitments and activities evoked by teacher Beliefs, Knowledge, and Practice. The conceptual framework is organized by the concepts of Community, Diversity, Equity, and Excellence, and is made operational through the 10 INTASC standards.
Reflection is at the core of the professional education programs in SOE. Reflection is integral to the goal of equitable education that attends to diversity, community, and excellence. Through this continuing reflection on knowledge, practice, and beliefs, the school feels strongly that its vision of appropriate education for all candidates can be realized. Reflection helps the individual untangle the web of deeply entrenched personal beliefs about functioning in a democratic society (Dewey, 1916). Therefore, prospective future professionals in SOE are expected to see their work as social practice grounded in values, established knowledge, myths, research, and professional customs (Freire, 1972; Schon, 1993). Because reflective practice requires thinking about and, more important, acting on those aspects of practice that frustrate and confuse, candidates are encouraged to experiment with tentative solutions to problems of practice and to examine the outcomes and implications of those trials. These necessary conditions for the development of reflective practice require curricula, instruction, and materials that help individuals develop ideas and ideals about the role of the organization in shaping society.
The faculty of the School of Education seek to ensure that course and field work in all programs impel prospective professionals in teaching, education, and health promotion to examine their beliefs, attitudes, predispositions, and behaviors about the subject matter and the individual, and to consider ways to eschew negative possibilities in favor of more positive ones. Thus, the programs encourage aspiring professionals to explore, reflect, and act on their beliefs, attitudes, dispositions, and values, and to increase their awareness of policy and practice interventions, which can advance the welfare of the individual.
Effective teachers recognize the interplay between strong subject matter knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge, and curricular knowledge. Given the constructivist philosophy and dedication to these emerging national reforms, which stress excellent education for all students, SOE recognizes that educators must have the skills needed to integrate all three forms of knowledge. Thus, the goals for prospective teachers cover knowledge in the areas of subject matter, pedagogical content, and curriculum.
The courses and faculty of SOE emphasizes the importance of grounding teaching practice in sound theory. Theories that inform practice are grounded in a commitment to social justice; and recognition that all knowledge is socially and culturally constructed (Apple, 2002; Kincheloe, 1991; Pearson, 1993; Steffe & Gale, 1995; Vygotsky, 1986). Through their beliefs about practice, the SOE faculty hope to inspire professionals to construct curricular practices that provide equitable support for all learners through consideration of the relationships among the individual, the context, and knowledge systems. In so doing, the SOE faculty aim to foster graduates ability to create classroom crossroads where worlds can come together and open up new environments (Dyson, 1993), understand the linkages between knowledge and power, and recreate forms of consciousness (Apple, 2002).
Four interrelated principles - equity, community, diversity, excellence - shape the curricular, instructional, research, and professional service activities of the SOE faculty and the means by which they assess candidate development. The democratic ideals of these four organizing principles indicate fundamental convictions and commitments. Those ideals and principles organize and direct teacher education programs in the school. They do so by compelling broad relationships among general education studies and between them and the teaching of field content, professional and pedagogical studies, field experiences, practica, and internships. They also inform the outcomes of the teacher education programs intend and through which our programs are regularly evaluated.
Equity in educational opportunity assumes that the response of the school to social inequalities may limit children's educational opportunity and, thus, opportunity generally. The SOE faculty associate this with democratic ideals and conclude that such fairness is a necessary condition for educational excellence, for social and economic opportunity, and for helping to make democracy a way of life (Bastian, et al., 1986). Limits to opportunity embedded in teacher education, schooling, and teaching, as well as in textbooks and other instructional materials relative to socioeconomic class, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and special need populations, must be exposed and overcome. Understanding and demonstrating the meaning and implications of educational equity are essential to aspiring teachers. Ultimately, faculty seek to impart to candidates the conviction that schooling without equity is contrary to democratic values and inimical to the goals of a pluralistic democracy (Banks, 1994; Coleman, 1966; Friere, 1972; Jencks, 1972; Sadker, 1994; Smith, 1992; Tesconi, 1974 and 1995).
Community evokes a group of people with shared interests and convictions, collaborating through those commonalities to attain mutually agreed upon ends in view. The SOE faculty believe that excellence among aspiring teachers is enhanced through the experience of building community, developing kinship with a broader network of caring education professionals, and working in service to the community writ large. Community building is pursued through collaborative relationships among and between prospective teachers, faculty and school professionals in and through a variety of teaching and learning experiences. The work of community building helps bring coherence to pre-service professional experiences, fosters an appreciation of the efficacy of cooperative enterprise, encourages civic discourse, enhances understanding and appreciation of diversity in all its forms, and promotes broad values, such as kindness, fairness, responsibility, and the virtues of recognition, non-oppression (Howe, 1997) and empathy.
Diversity, a reality of American life, enhances democratic living. Thinking about democracy "as a way of life" (Dewey, 1916) reveals a paradox: there is no way of life common to all. Americans choose to live in diverse ways. Yet, as Arnstine (1995) observes, "It is easy to forget that only a particular kind of social order can protect and guarantee this individuality." Only mutual respect, equality before the law, equality of opportunity, and participation in governance can preserve the social order that is our "way of life." A society governed by democratic ideals is necessary to a healthy and vibrant diversity, just as diversity is necessary to a healthy and vibrant democracy.
Excellence is an intelligible and achievable attribute by which teacher education programs must become known. SOE faculty believe that teachers who excel are able to demonstrate in-depth comprehension of the forms of knowledge embedded in established disciplines; command of content central to one's teaching; knowledge of disciplines that provide the foundation for professional practice; an understanding of the interdisciplinary nature of inquiry; appreciation of multiple ways of seeing, knowing, and being in the world; understanding of the limits and possibilities of schools as agents of cultural transmission and opportunity; and a commitment to life-long learning and a caring professionalism as defining features of a professional teacher's community.
Candidates' understandings of the core value of Reflection and the organizing principle of Community, Diversity, Equity and Excellence are evaluated through the use of the 10 INTASC standards. We use INTASC to organize the coursework, practica, and assessments in the School of Education. Within the specific presentation of the INTASC standards at AU, candidates are able to show the development of the conceptual framework in their beliefs, knowledge and practice.

Confederations Cup top-scorer Fernando Torres could be on his way out of Stamford Bridge this summer, as Jose Mourinho steps up his pursuit of Napoli's frontman Edinson Cavani.
Several reports today suggest that Chelsea are keen to offload Torres, who may be used as a makeweight to satisfy a percentage of Cavani's £53m release clause, which binds the Uruguayan's transfer until August 10.
But Napoli have suggested they will hold out for the full €63m (£54m) asking price before allowing their prized asset to depart, insisting they have no intention of accepting a deal that includes makeweights.
The Italian club have already rebuffed an offer of €50m (£42.8m) plus Torres from the Blues, The Independent reports, and Mourinho now appears to be setting his sights elsewhere, should he fail to land the target man.
TalkSPORT reports that Torres could also be offered in a swap deal in a bid to land AC Milan's Stephan El Shaarawy.
El Shaarawy netted 19 times last term and has become a regular fixture in the Italian national side and reports he could be bound for Stamford Bridge have cast further doubt on Torres' future under Mourinho.
The Portuguese boss's movements in the transfer market suggest he may have reversed his initial intention to keep hold of the stuttering Spaniard, instead looking elsewhere for a world-class source of goals.

Can't afford an aug but I heard the conversation to ar mags works and is well worth the money.
I was thinking about buying another AR15 parts kit, this is part of my consolidate my weapons that shoot the same ammo and use the same mags for the SHTF moments. Then I saw this conversion kit to allow my Steyr AUG to fire AR15 mags. Which means that any of my cached locations that have AR15 mags I can use my AUG.
Aug mags are expensive! and this solves that issue.
Anyone use this setup to fire AR15 mags? Thoughts?
"Courage is being scared to death - and saddling up anyway." - The Duke
Can't afford an aug but I heard the conversation to ar mags works and is well worth the money.
yea -- the conversion is a bit pricy but worth it if you have a lot of ar-15 mags.
you can sell the pricy AUG mags and get some $$ to cover the conversion.
good cheap ar-15 mags are everywhere these days--
Thats the problem with dedicated mags, one either has to dive in or convert
for my sig 551-A1 I bought a shit load of dedicated mags. then one day, i saw a ad someone wanted to sell there 556 lower ( which takes ar-15 mags) I bought it to have, because of the pile of ar-15 mags i have. the swiss 551 mags are far superior to any ar-15
I have heard good thinks about the Aug conversions over at AR-15 fourum, my hunting buddies in Ireland are army reservist in that country, they carry the AUG they love it
Sprat and sprat1 are one and the same.
Agree with everyone else... you will be paying "Aug mag prices" either way - conversion kit + AR mags |or| Aug mags and leave rifle alone. Either way they balance out. Mag Math is deceiving!
$300 kit + 6 x 20$ (15?) mags. About 425 if you count shipping, etc.
6x Aug mags @ $25- $40 each (varies on price on Gunbroker - you can find them for as low as 25 each right now) = $150 - $240.
SOOOO..... what are you really saving? IMO it isn't THAT big a deal for the mags. Really it becomes a personal preference. I don't have many mouse-gun weapons. So for me I would stick with the proven Aug mags.
Other considerations...
Reliability - The Aug mags are reputed to be "jam proof" in that they are completely reliable. May be something to consider.
Availability - Aug mags are MUCH more prolific these days so the rarity is no longer a concern IMO.
Usability - the AR weenies like my brother all say you need AR mags so you can do the "quick change" stuff. WELL they have a quick-change solution which you can find videos for online. Basically hold the mag with your weak arm, use the mag to press the mag release lever so the loaded mag drops free, and insert the mag. Actually looks pretty easy so doing things "the AR way" isn't a concern to me.
