Time = money indeed.So if such electrical car would have a bicycle-like (but better of course) dynamo on it's wheels, the extra resistance/friction of this dynamo would make the car consume more 'extra' electricity than it generates from the dynamo?
Perpetual motion and totally free energy are nice ideas but not possible.
Quote from: sophiecentaur on 25/08/2009 11:54:48Perpetual motion and totally free energy are nice ideas but not possible.Indeed, it would be impossible to create energy from nothing, but maybe on earth we can take advantage of some omnipresent phenomenon to create a kind of perpetual motion using for example sunrays, the earth's magnetic field, geothermal energy, ...
New battery Tech out in a few years, promising 10x's the energy density and fast recharge times, like 5mins to a 80% charge,
Might be better off, driving a electric motor at home to pressurise a air canister, which would also open up petrol stations being able to re pressurise your tank in a reasonible period of time.
coquina.rocksThe quick-change (slide across) replacement is a good idea but why do they need to be cylindrical? Cuboids are the most efficient use of space in, essentially, box-shaped vehicles and could just as easily be slid in and out.
I think I've identified the problem![diagram=503_0]
Teleportation would be great, off to visit a mate 5000 miles away, back in 10mins, Zap!!!On holiday, get a call out zap to the client fix the issue and zap back to 5000miles away / the moon

The Tesla is a joke ... Rich kids toy.
The electric motor may be a far better device for moving vehicles but it aint no good without a continuous supply of electricity. I worked out that the Tesla would run flat out on a track for 20 minutes. Then it takes hours to recharge. Imagine a battery powered train. Half the weight and half of the length of the train would be batteries.
I worked out that the Tesla would run flat out on a track for 20 minutes.
O.K. so we stop wasting time on developing battery powered cars. When the petrol does run out (or we admit the stupidity of continuing to burn it), what do we do? When we finally have to commit the I.C. engine to history, what do we use in its place?
Re the proposal for fuel cell cars as the only viable non-hybrid technology, I thought that the production of hydrogen for (fuel cells) requires so much energy that it is almost more efficient to burn fossil fuel directly in an I.C. engine. The most efficient way of powering a motor vehicle seems to be by a battery...
anyone have any fresh ideas that might advance the electric car concept?
Quote from: baker1 on 15/12/2008 02:47:57anyone have any fresh ideas that might advance the electric car concept? I saw someone was asking about new ideas for electric cars.Hit a TOTAL stonewall with government with this one; you wouldn't believe how ignored I've been AND I was gifting the idea, I didn't want money.Anyway, here's the URL to a youtube film about it. Maybe someone will see it......sorry, you cannot view external links. To see them, please

I understand however that producing hydrogen uses five the power required to charge a battery.
Lest we forget, we still don't fully understand the lightning bolt.
Is it possible to get the car moving with battery power then serial loop the alternator/generator to the drive motors then you could drive unlimited ?
Quote from: Pumblechook on 31/08/2009 19:13:40I worked out that the Tesla would run flat out on a track for 20 minutes.I think the top speed is more than 120mph, so in 20 minutes it should cover about 40 miles. This is well within the distance of the great majority of commute journeys. However, we don't normally commute at 120 mph! What we need calculating is the time the battery will last for at somewhat lower speeds, maybe 60 mph, 30 mph, and perhaps the average car urban speed of, is it 20 mph, or is that a bit optimistic?
in 20 minutes it would cover 400 miles not 40 mile
Maffsolo, check your math. 60 miles per hour is 1 mile per minute. I use this fact to check my speedometer against mile markers. Steve

I have difficulty believing that the new mayor and new councillors are following through on some backroom agreement with Katz when they have only been in office since November.
As mentioned in the post above, this was voted on, and it passed overwhelmingly. Michael Oshry (one of the rookies) voted against only because he felt that the City should build their own building, but reiterated that the Katz proposal was by far the best of the bunch.
Like I said earlier, this has all the buzzwords that are red meat for the anti-downtown development crusaders like you and Beerfish. You combine "Katz," "city," "arena district," and "development" in any article any chance of reasonable discussion gets tossed out the window.
Well you've contributed to the unreasonable discussion by inferring theres no way at all anybody should be concerned.
plus your responses in the thread have been dismissive and hardly leading to reasonable discourse. You can look back at them and I'm sure you'll admit it.
What Chris mentioned involves the Administration approving the Katz tender above all other bids and SELECTING the Katz bid.
The only involvement current council had in this was voting yes/no to go ahead. The only information they had was that which was provided by administration who again were the ones that selected the bid. The sense I got was rubber stamping it.
A new council was put in the unenviable position of either voting yes, or risking that this saga gets further delayed or complicated. Its my opinion (perhaps not accurate) that council voted yes to go ahead with this bid at this point to avoid delay in the whole arena venture and to avoid a new council having to be updated endlessly on years of information in this regard. In the act of expediency, and just moving forward, they voted yes. Which some council members have pretty much said. I'm almost thankful they did so that a new council doesn't get dragged whole into the quagmire that this arena development has been. Last thing I want is a second term of council mired in this mess.
So I have a somewhat balanced view. Glad it went through in away, but suspicious of the reported details nonetheless.
hope this is clear.

117 Iraqis Killed in Two Days of Attacks on Pilgrims
Nearly 500 Wounded as Bombings Tear Through Baghdad
The hopes that the rising violence seen throughout 2010 was starting to subside after a comparatively calm June seem to be subsiding tonight, after two days of attacks on Shi'ite pilgrims in the capital city have left 117 Iraqis killed and nearly 500 wounded.
The pilgrimage, a comparatively small one for Iraq's Shi'ite majority, saw hundreds of thousands take to the streets of Baghdad, as the government attempted to provide security with a blanket ban on bicycles and push carts.
The attacks, however, continued unabated, with suicide bombers attacking crowds of pilgrims on foot and a large number of roadside bombs detonated along the areas most traversed by the worshippers.
The pilgrimage ended earlier today, and the Shi'ites have headed home. The lingering effects of the violence on an already tense sectarian situation in the capital city, however, will probably be felt for months and even years to come.

Fifth Avenue Stories June 13, 2015
Amazing customers, team and new Apple Store, Upper East Side. Home for 25 years, NYC has a special place in my heart. http://t.co/7aGrZaksWb—
Angela Ahrendts (@AngelaAhrendts) June 13, 2015
As previously reported, the Upper East Side New York Apple Store opened today and Apple's head of retail was on hand for the occasion. Angela Ahrendts tweeted from the event (above) and took photos with visitors (below). The store is at 940 Madison Avenue on the corner of 74th St, a block from Central Park.
We noted previously that the almost 100-year old building that Apple restored used to be a bank which included a vault that Apple turned into a VIP room for Apple Watch Edition try ons. The VIP space includes a large TV/Display, couches and other niceties (more images below).
In addition, the decor and showcasing is unique to this location with a new kind of recessed showcase, large chandeliers and black and white artwork.
The new store will help alleviate some of the traffic that the Fifth Avenue Store loses while it relocates to the smaller FAO Schwarz location for upgrades. Not everyone is happy with the store opening. Local residents have complained that it will bring throngs of shoppers to this somewhat quiet (by Manhattan standards) upscale neighborhood. Apple has promised to open later and close earlier than other nearby stores in order to appease the neighbors.

Microsoft confirms it's opening its "first flagship store" a few blocks from Apple's iconic cube as Steve Jobs backstory revealed
Microsoft has confirmed its rumored plan to open what it describes as its "first flagship store" on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue, a few blocks away from Apple's glass-cubed flagship store, reports the WSJ.
"As our first flagship store, it will serve as the centerpiece of our Microsoft Stores experience," said David Porter, corporate vice president for Microsoft retail stores. "This is a goal we've had since day one—we were only waiting for the right location. And now we have it."

Fifth Avenue Stories August 6, 2014
Microsoft wants to build a new 8,700 sq. ft. retail store on New York's Fifth Avenue, just a few blocks away from Apple's cube, the New York Daily News reported today. The two-story building located at 677 Fifth Avenue is currently vacant, but the Redmond-based software giant wants to setup shop near one of its competitors most iconic locations.
Microsoft has been walking in the shadow of Apple's retail success for years now. In 2009 the company poached George Blakenship from Cupertino's retail arm to run its own (weirdly similar) stores. Since then, the Microsoft has been taking advantage of open spaces near a few Apple stores to try to get in on the action.
Fifth Avenue Stories May 7, 2014
New Yorkers (and the tourists who come to the city) love their Apple gear, it seems, and five stores in Manhattan just isn't enough. Just last night we reported that Apple was planning to open a new Store in the New World Trade Center complex. The race to #6 after Soho, Meat Packing District, 5th Avenue, Lincoln Center, and Grand Central is on as ifo Apple Store reports that Apple is planning to open a sixth store on the island in a former bank building on Madison Avenue next year.
Continuing its tradition of creating magnificent stores from historic buildings, Apple has begun work to transform a former bank building on New York City's Upper East Side into a retail store. Various sources confirm that construction planning is underway for 940 Madison Avenue, a limestone and marble building now occupied by luxury retailer VBH …

Rihanna Responds To Chris Brown Breakup Comment
As we all know Chris Brown recently told the host of the Aussie radio show, The Kyle and Jackie O radio show, that he and RiRi were no longer a item.
At the end of the day [Rihanna's] a young girl. I can't really be focused on wife-ing somebody that young, and I'm young too
But did he forget to hip RiRi to the news before he told the world. At any case the Roc Nation star took to tweeter this morning to voice her opinion in a alleged response to Chris's interview.
Settling is not an option! Nothing less than 100% loyalty, honesty, and respect!! Love ain't for kidz #butimsleeptho
— Rihanna (@rihanna) May 7, 2013

Change of Plans
Sammy exited Bud's office, throat dry and armpits moist. He'd thrown the scent off for now, but it would only be a matter of time before Bud's hamster wheel started turning in his head.
Sam hadn't been lying about the boomerang, but he knew exactly who had caused it. Harold Isaacson.
He checked his watch. Well after eleven o'clock. Char would have tried to contact him by now. Paulie had left a message about where she'd gone and it was killing Sam to not know what was going on.
For now, he had to keep it cool. Act like he and Bud we're okay, even though every day he walked in the office he had to stop himself from slashing the S.O.B.'s throat.
It would all be worth it. Just to see the look on Bud's face when he realized that his 'kids' weren't the cold monsters he'd tried to create. Papa Bud. Sammy sniffed out a laugh. Maybe Sam was cold-blooded for wanting Bud to go out like this.
He grabbed his wool coat from his office and headed out towards the ferry. If he hoofed it, he could catch the last boat to Bainbridge Island and sleep in his own bed for once. Outside, his breath puffed in icy clouds, dotting out his path like the kid in the Family Circus comics.
His phone beeped in his slacks pocket. He pulled it out.
A text message from "Dolly", AKA Agent Gary Carlson.
Sammy held his breath and pulled up the message.
"Got lonely waiting, darling. Don't worry though, found someone to keep me company. Tell me you love me and we're all good."
Sammy smirked. Agent Carlson was kinda funny for a pig. His message came through loud and blessedly clear: They'd intercepted Char in Philly.
How they would explain everything to her was going to be interesting. Sammy texted back that he "loved Dolly" - meaning that he was still in the clear with Bud.
Sam could barely remember how he'd extricated himself from this mess Bud had indoctrinated the grandkids into. Ultimately, he guessed he could thank Martin.
Two years ago - long after Martin had finally stopped drinking the Kool-Aid - he'd also started dropping names to his new FBI friends. At the time, he was only mad enough to throw the Isaacson branch under the bus.
But the Isaacson's weren't stupid and they were corked about all the FBI surveillence that followed. They'd smoked out the leak and traced it back to Martin. Which, in their minds, equalled the Templeton's. And the silent war began.
For all of Bud's big talk, he had no idea what was going on. It was ironic, really. The one Templeton with direct access to Harold Isaacson was the one person who didn't have a reason to hand him over.
Martin had initially told Sam to give Bud the whole story - just to get to Isaacson and be down one kingpin. But it was crazy. Bud would have a Hire on Martin so fast, his gravestone would be complete before the hit was. Martin the martyr.
No way Sammy was losing one of his siblings to this game. He was the oldest. He'd failed them all once by letting them get into the business. And Paulie getting in...God, that was a necessary evil. And, Jesus, he'd been paired up with Orin Burke. Something about that guy's motives was off. Sammy wasn't getting the whole story on him from Bud.
Sammy made it into the warmth of the ferry terminal seconds before the last boat docked. He had a few minutes yet before it unloaded and he could board.
He wearily ran his hands through his hair. Halfway through he realized he'd mussed it up. A clear sign he was losing his composure. He cleared his throat and smoothed it back.
No time for a break down. Sammy had only just figured out the boomerang connection and things were moving too fast now.
Let Bud stew in the possibilities of who'd thrown the boomerang. He'd figure it out soon enough. Good for getting to Isaacson. Bad for Martin. It would only be a matter of time before the whole story came out.
But there was no longer any choice. Especially since Isaacson had Martin anyway.
They had a very small window to act. The problem was, they had no way of knowing when Bud caught on and when the clock started ticking.

There's just something about you that makes you stick in my mind, no matter how hard I try to forget you, you stubbornly stay. But now I can se…
A soft knock sounds on my bedroom door.
"Come in," I call as I close the notebook.
Trace walks in, his black hair a windblown mess. A hot windblown mess. "Homework?" he asks as he sits next to me on the bed and gestures to the closed notebook in my lap.
I tuck my hair behind my ear. "Um, no, something else," I say as I put the notebook in the drawer in the mahogany nightstand by my bed.
Trace nods.
"But I'm sure you didn't come over to see if I was doing my homework," I say as I turn back to him.
He runs a hand through his hair, making it even messier. "Well, there was something I wanted to talk to you about." He sighs and looks down before slowly bringing his eyes to meet mine. "I haven't been able to get you out of my mind since I met you, and I really like you."
I blink, in shock. That's exactly how I've been with him.
Trace takes my reaction the wrong way. "I'm sorry for making this awkward, we should probably just stay friends if that's how you f…"
I quickly lean forward and briefly press my lips against his. "Yes."
"Yes?" he asks, confused.
I smile and blush. "Yes to the halfway asked question of you asking me out."
Trace grins, and for the first time, I notice a small scar that pulls the left corner of his lips up into a lopsided smile. I love that smile. He leans closer and puts one hand pressed against my hair half on my neck and the back of my head. He hesitates for a moment, then gently kisses me. His lips are soft and firm against mine. Slowly, he parts his lips and deepens the kiss. My hands go from my lap to one pressed against his chest and the other on his neck, pulling him closer. Almost reluctantly, he pulls back slowly.
I smile and look away.
Trace moves his hand from my hair and stands up. "I should probably leave, it's getting a little late."
I shake my head. "It's only ten, and tomorrow's Saturday. Stay."
He smiles and pulls me to my feet. "Let's go to the beach."
I slip my feet into the sandals by my bed. "And what are we going to do at the beach?"
Trace smiles and intertwines his fingers with mine. "You'll see."
I return his smile as he pulls me out of the apartment and down the hall to the elevator. We run across the lobby, waking the concierge at the front desk.
Trace pushes the glass door wide open and we run into the sand. The sound of the ocean waves pounding the sand sounds even more beautiful at night.
"There's a dune farther down where we can talk for awhile," Trace says.
I nod and let him lead the way down the beach. We don't have to walk very long before we reach the dune he was talking about.
He gently puts his hands on my hips and sets me up on top of a rock on the dune, then sits down next to me.
"So what'd you want to talk about?" I ask, watching him out of the corner of my eye.
"Not too sure yet," he confesses with another slightly lopsided smile. "But I wanted to test a theory of mine."
"And what theory would that be?"
"I wanted to see if the night stars are dimmer than your smile."
I smile and look down. "And the results are?"
Trace reaches out and cups my chin in his hand, pulling my face so he can see my smile. "I was right, your smile outshines them."
I move my face out of his hand and smile, my hair falling between us.
"I know what I want to talk about, if it's okay with you."
"Tell me more about your past, where you came from. Why your mom lets your dad beat you like that. I want to know why your eyes are so sad," he says softly, leaning down to look me in the eyes.
I sigh. "It's a really sad story that no one else has heard before. I'm not sure if I can even tell it."
"You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to, I just wanted to know," he says quickly.
I shake my head. "I think you might be the only one who will ever hear it. It's…just going to take some time to talk about some parts."
"We've got all night, and you don't have to talk if you don't want to," he reminds me.
"My mom left when I was five. I honestly don't even think she and my dad were ever married, actually. I just remember them fighting one night when he came home with a hooker and then waking up the next morning and her being gone. I haven't seen or heard from her since. I don't know why she didn't take me with her, but she left me with him. And I've grown up in a house where I had to start taking care of myself the day after my mom left. All my dad cares about is himself. I've been paying the rent and working and grocery shopping and running a household since I was five. I never had time to be a kid, never had time to party and be a regular kid. And when the prep school was accepting scholarship applications, I knew that it was right for me. It was the only way I was ever going to get out of there, and it was a miracle that I was accepted. But I'm happy I did, because I finally got to leave him, and I met you."
Trace stays quiet for a moment. "How long was your dad beating you?"
I look away, suddenly uncomfortable. "Too long."
"Like how long? A week? Few months? Few years? How long, Viv?" he asks.
"Look, I really don't want to talk about it. Just know that he's a bad man and I'm beyond happy that I'll never have to see him again. He's out of my life for good now, and that's how it's staying."
Trace nods. "Okay, I won't push you. But one last question, and you don't have to answer it if you don't want to, but what's the worst he's ever hurt you?"
"Don't worry about it," I say quickly, suddenly regretting how harsh the words sound.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked that. But I wanted to know how long it would take me to get through the maze you built around your heart."
I half smile. "He has nothing to do with that, so don't worry about it."
He nods, like he's half convinced, then points further down the beach. "Do you see that dock out there?"
I look where he's pointing and shake my head. "No, it's too dark."
"There's a light blinking on and off on it. But that's the dock by my house, just in case you ever need me."
I see the light go off and nod, then turn back and look at him. "Why are you doing this?"
"Doing what? Showing you where I live? Just so you know you're safe."
I shake my head. "Not that, why are you being so nice to me? We just met yesterday, and you've bought me a penthouse apartment, taken me away from that jerk who thinks he's my dad, and asking me out."
"It's because I care about you, Vivian. I don't know why, but there's something about you that makes it almost impossible for me to stop thinking about you, no matter what. I want to give you everything you deserve, but I know that I can't. But that's not going to stop me from trying my damn hardest to try and make sure you get what you deserve. I just really want to make you happy. You're the type of girl who should always have a smile on her face, and I'd like to be the guy who gets to keep it there."
I look at him, not sure what to say. My mom was a Christian, and she tried to raise me as a Christian before she left, but after my dad, I though God didn't exist. But Trace is starting to make me wonder if he does.
"Are you a Christian?" I suddenly blurt out.
Trace shakes his head. "I mean, not really, but I still do good things and all that, like good karma and stuff. You?"
I shrug. "I don't know. I kind of thought that after my mom left, God didn't exist because if He's supposed to be a God of love, then how could he let my dad happen, you know? But after meeting you, maybe He does exist."
He smiles. "Thanks. And I think there's someone that would like to talk to you."

Greeting to all and welcome new friends to the EastWing.
Two days and it's all over. Another political season will have come and gone. And not a day too soon for me, and I'm sure, not a day too soon for you too. Indiana airways have been somewhat blessed by not being overwhelmed with the political carp of "Let's kill the other guy", but that's not the case in some of the states. For those people, I feel sorry. However you may think about the election, Come Tuesday, if ya don't vote, then don't bitch 'bout the outcome. I'm glad the long campaign is over. But I'll for sure to vote just in case I need to ……..
As I promised many of you some time back that I'd retell the story about the time I ran for the President of the Student Body at the Tip Top Elementary School. That time has now come. This story was first told on November 2, 2008. Just days before Obama was elected President of these United States. It was Hope and Change that got him there:
Sure hope everyone is ready to vote. I'm almost. One way or the other we will give ourselves a new president. I remember the time I ran for president. It was the third grade, Tip Top Elementary School System, Tip Top, KY. Tip Top was a company town way up in the mountains of southeastern KY. Springtime was in the mountains and the Red Buds were in bloom. Such pretty hills up there at Tip Top, at the top of the mountains.
The educational facilities at Tip Top in 1953 were somewhat more sparse than what we are accustom to seeing now days in public education. The Federal Government was not involved in the local decision making process of education. It was a two room building, grades 1 – 7 in the larger room, grade 8 in the other room. A single source heating system, pot belly stoves, they were. Two rooms, two stoves. Air Conditioning System, windows that sled up and down, if the wind blew your way, got cooled off ya did, if it didn't, ya didn't. Plumbing was outside, both sanitation and water(outhouse and well). Federal Financial Assistance was $00.00. It was Company Town, Company School, Company Funded. It was the springtime in the mountains, right near the end of the current school year, and Magoffin County was awash in a hotly contested primary election, it was from that background that I stepped into the political arena.
The teacher, Miss Higgins, thought it a good idea to get us little Kentucky Kids become involved in politics early, after all, our parents were shooting each other left and right over political differences and both sides were buying votes at every possible opportunity. She explained that it would prepare us to take our places in society in the future if we understood how politics really worked. Miss Higgins said she would select two candidates and they would campaign for the votes of the students and after the campaigning was all done we would vote. Then there would be a president of the student body for next school year.
Now when the teacher said she would select the candidates, we all knew she would select Tucker Bailey, cause Tucker Bailey was the teacher's pet. When ya go to a school with two rooms and a total enrollment of 22 students and 1 teacher, it don't ya take long to figure out who's the teacher's pet. Later in life I could never quite figure out the fact that Tucker Bailey's Dad owned the coal mine and the whole town plus he hired Miss Higgins, if that had anything with Tucker Bailey getting to be the teacher's pet, or she if just liked him better than me. I could never figure it out for sure.
Miss Higgins said we needed candidates who could be president of the student body the next school year, a person with leadership qualities, a person who we all could admire, (at the time I didn't know what that admire word even meant) a person who could get all us students working for the common good of the Tip Top Community.
The teacher pointed out that the newly elected president would not take office until next school year so that meant the current eight graders could not qualify for office, but they would get to vote. Just like everybody in that school house knew she would, Miss Higgins said "My first candidate from the fifth grade is Tucker Bailey". We were all about as surprised as when the sun came over the mountain that morning. It was Miss Higgins's next statement that changed my life forever when she said "and running against Tucker is from the third grade Bobby Ray Howard".
Well I damn near fell off my seat, twice. Having no political experience and a great deal of resentment for Tucker Bailey, he had the nicest house in Tip Top, his yard had grass, his house was painted, he had shoes year round, he wore church paints to school, he didn't have to carry water, he had his own dog, while I had to share my dog with seven cousins, and the list went on and on. I was just pain jealous of Tucker Bailey. I thought he had all the things that made people rich. He had all the stuff I didn't have and I wanted all of 'um.
Miss Higgins told me and Tucker Bailey that the next day we were to give a speech to the whole school and then we would vote for the best one. I was so afraid I didn't want to go to school the next day but I did, 'cause that morning my Mama said "BobbyRay you're not sick, you go on to school today".
Tucker Bailey came to school that morning wearing a new white shirt and a neck tie, yah, a neck tie, I'm tellin' ya, Tucker Bailey wore a neck tie to school. I wore the same overalls from yesterday. Tucker Bailey wore shoes,,, shoes, Tucker Bailey was the only person besides Miss Higgins wearing shoes in that schoolhouse that day.
Tucker Bailey spoke first, he said what a great privilege it was going to be to be president of the school. He talked about making us all better citizens of Magoffin County. Tucker Bailey laid out his plan to organize next year's 7th and 8th graders to remove all the rocks from the playground so the little kids would not get hurt from falling on the rocks. (we go more hurt from throwing than falling) Seeing if he could get his dad to paint the school building which would allow us to take more pride in our school ( I think Tucker Bailey's mother must've wrote that little speech, cause he's wasn't that smart to use a big word like privilege) When he finished Miss Higgins lead the applause and congratulated Tucker Bailey on such a fine campaign speech.
Miss Higgins then turned to me and with a somewhat snicker said "Now Bobby Ray are you ready?" Boy was I ever not ready. Somehow I just never thought I'd really have to do this thing. With no thought in my mind what so ever I walked to the front of the room, I turned to face the electorate and said "If you'll vote for me I'll give you a RC Cola and a Moon Pie"
The school went wild. Everyone jumped to their feet clapping and yelling and stomping the floor. Miss Higgins had to ring the bell to get the school back under control. With fire in her eyes and I would swear a split tongue of the devil, Miss Higgins looked into the very depths of my soul and said "Bobby Ray how you going to pay for those RC Colas and Moon Pies?" I said "I don't know" She said "Bobby Ray where you going to get those RC Colas and Moon Pies?" I said "I don't know"
Then with her best smile for the teacher's little pet she said " Tucker, honey you get to speak again". I looked at Tucker Bailey and for the first time in my life felt sorry for him, he was about to cry and said "I don't want to talk no more" Miss Higgins then asked me if I wanted to say anything else.
For the second time in my campaign I stood before the voters and said "If you'll vote for me I'll give you a RC Cola and a Moon Pie". This time the bell ringing didn't work for three full minutes. After Miss Higgins gained control of the school once again, we voted.
Two girls from the 8th grade counted the votes. Final Vote: Tucker Bailey 1, Bobby Ray 21
I voted for Tucker Bailey that day. He voted for me, not because he wanted to but afraid he'd be the only one voting for Tucker Bailey. I looked that little boy in the eye that day and saw superciliousness turn to fear. At that point Tucker Bailey needed a friend more than anybody in the schoolhouse. I was the closest one to him so it was just my job. I became his friend right then and there. I was to take office the start of the new school year in September.
My family and I moved to Indiana that summer, 1953. Come September I started school in the North Judson Elementary School System, not as the president, just as a 4th grader with political experience.
I never delivered on my campaign promise of RC Colas and Moon Pies to the Tip Top School System. I wonder if they remembered. I bet Tucker Bailey did.
As I set in the East Wing still trying to make a decision on how to vote this 2008 presidential election, I have this empty feeling that I've been offered a RC Cola and a Moon Pie as Hope and Change.
It's now been four years since I first told the Tip top Presidential Election Campaign story. I'm once again setting in the EastWing, this Sunday evening, two days before the presidential election. An RC Cola and a Moon Pie are once again being offered.
Just today I read an interesting article about Kim Jong Un, the leader of North Korea, he had no military experience whatsoever before his daddy made him a four-star general in the military. This is a snot-nose twerp who has never accomplished anything in his life that would even come close to military leadership. He hasn't even so much as led a Cub Scout troop, coached a sports team or commanded a military platoon. So guess what, they make him the "Beloved Leader" of the country. Shewwww.
Oh, crap! I'm sorry. I just remembered that we did kinda the same thing here in our country . We took an arrogant community organizer who has never worn a uniform and made him Commander-in-Chief. A guy who has never had a real job, worked from a budget, or led anything more important than an ACORN demonstration, and made him Commander-In-Chief. Oh Shewwww, I'm sorry I brought this up. Never mind.
Stay safe in Afghanistan.
From The EastWing, Election Time At Last, Retelling The Tip Top Presidential Campaign, Another Round With RC Cola And A Moon Pie, Commanders-In-Chiefs & Community Organizers.
I Wish You Well,

Works as advertised
by vypergts on 3/30/2007
I bought this partially just to see how it connects to the slim since it's not obvious from the picture. It actually connects the same way that the official one does through the first controller and memory card port. The connector folds up nicely underneath the unit when not in use. Doubles the height of your PS2 slim. Looks clean. Good solution for 4+ player games.

AOR skipper, Jonny Malbon, will start sail trials onboard AORII in early March 2008. The boat's racing debut will be in the Artemis Transat, from Plymouth to Boston, in May.
For Jonny, along with many of the skippers, this will be the last opportunity to qualify for the solo, non-stop round the world race, the Vendee Globe, which begins in Les Sables d'Olonne (France) in November 2008.
Jonny Malbon, Skipper of Artemis Ocean Racing:
'We were really disappointed not to have finished the TJV, or participate in the Ecover Transat B2B. So much hard work had gone on throughout the season and the boat was in such good shape. The only positive is that I have been able to spend a lot more time at the build shed, looking at the huge variety of elements that we will need to piece together before the launch and sail trials of AOR II.
It has been fantastic to see all the hard work from the build team and design office take shape, and next year looks to be incredibly exciting, and incredibly busy!! The whole AOR team is focused on getting both boats back up to speed, and ready for AOR II's first big outing in May, the Artemis Transat.'
Mark Tyndall, CEO of Artemis Investment Management Limited
'We are all really impressed by the way Jonny and Gringo coped with the dismasting of AOR I earlier this year and are now all looking forward to 2008. Next year is really promising with the launch of our brand new boat and then the first edition of the Artemis Transat in May. Everyone at Artemis wishes the AOR team good luck and fair winds for the year ahead.'

Gay Featured Models 281—302 of 302
Dallas Reeves***/*
Short review: Sexy jocks from the USA appear in original movies that can be streamed or downloaded. There are many duo scenes here with good chemistry between the horny looking guys, and there are some group scenes as well. The site is fairly new but updating weekly, there is a model index, a bonus site and some feeds to view as well, and the whole things runs smoothly and well.
Content Amount: There are at least 55 original scenes that run for around 20 to 25 minutes and come with full files and clips/parts as well. These are mobile compatible and come with galleries of around 80 pics each, plus screen caps. There's one bonus site and 10 feeds.
Content Quality: The quality is fine here, good solid and standard, with plenty of options for mobile viewing and some decent resolutions in the videos. The galleries are good quality though images are not too huge and the site has a standard design which is functional.

A complex fate. A deadly path. Book two in the New York Times bestselling series Publishers Weekly calls "an epic in the best sense."
When Rigg and his friends crossed the Wall between the only world they knew and a world they could not imagine, he hoped he was leading them to safety. But the dangers in this new wallfold are more difficult to see. Rigg, Umbo, and Param know that they cannot trust the expendable, Vadesh--a machine shaped like a human, created to deceive--but they are no longer certain that they can even trust one another. But they will have little choice. Because although Rigg can decipher the paths of the past, he can't yet see the horror that lies ahead: A destructive force with deadly intentions is hurtling toward Garden. If Rigg, Umbo, and Param can't work together to alter the past, there will be no future.
The adventure, suspense, and time travel continue in this second installment in the critically acclaimed New York Times and Publishers Weekly bestselling Pathfinder series.

- Review Date: 2012-10-08
- Reviewer: Staff
Continuing the epic science fiction series that began with 2010's Pathfinder, this overstuffed but fascinating second installment sees trapper-turned-royal-exile Rigg and his companions exploring more of their compartmentalized world, while mastering their various time travel–related abilities and negotiating complicated interpersonal relationships. The brilliant yet complicated premise, which sees the young quintet racing to save the world while unable to fully trust anyone they meet or anything they learn, is weighed down somewhat by roundabout conversations and overly angsty internal monologues in which characters simmer over perceived slights or insecurities. However, the way Card explores time travel, logic puzzles, and parallel societal development, as well as the clever fashion in which various problems are resolved and the engrossing details of the world he has created, keep the plot moving forward—and often backward in time. For all its twisty, intelligent, and thought-provoking intricacy, the story still seems best summed up by the observation of one character: "I really hate philosophy.... You talk and talk, and in the end, you don't know any more than you did." Ages 12–up. Agent: Barbara Bova Literary Agency. (Oct.)

Girl, 5, falls from window in Ross Township
ROSS TOWNSHIP, Pa. - A child fell from a second-story window in Ross Township on Thursday.
Police said the 5-year-old girl was unresponsive but breathing on her own.
According to police, the girl fell from her bedroom window while her mom was somewhere else in the house with another child.
Police said it appears there were no witnesses, but a neighbor found the child on the pavement and called 911.
"The mother apparently was inside the residence tending to another child and did not hear knocks at the door from the neighbor," said Benjamin Dripps of Ross Township police.
Police believe it was an accident.
The child was transported to Children's Hospital. Her condition is unknown.

Walter Mosley
This book is available for download with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device, and with iTunes on your computer. Books can be read with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device.
In this gripping and provocative eBook original novel celebrated bestselling author Walter Mosley explores the mind of an African-American man who is forced to re-examine his most closely held beliefs about race and about himself.
Sovereign James wakes up one morning to discover that he's gone blind.
Sovereign's doctors can't find anything wrong with him, nor does he remember any physical or psychological trauma. Unless his sight returns, Sovereign has reached the end of his 25-year career in human resources. A couple of weeks later he is violently mugged on the street. His sight briefly, miraculously returns during the attack: for a few seconds, he can see as well as hear a young female bystander's cries of distress. Now he must grapple with two questions: What caused him to lose his vision—and, perhaps more troubling, why does violence restore it? As Sovereign searches for the woman he glimpsed, he will come to question everything he valued about his former life.
Customer Reviews
Different but want more!
I'm a big fan of Walter Mosley books. This one in particular was different but it left me hanging at the end... I want to know what happens to sovy now and will Toni stay away forever... What about this unborn baby? I want to know what's next for Sovereign James.
I enjoyed the book. Thought it was very well written and engaging. I like the way Mr Mosley writes and the detail in the characters he creates. This book did not disappoint . I would recommend it and already have.

A TERRIFIED family fled their home in the early hours as vigilantes launched an arson attack on a paedophile in the flat below.
Neil and Jo Bothwell, who have two young children, knew nothing of Mark Hammond's sick crimes.
But a mob torched the pervert's van outside their flat at 1am after he appeared in court for having a stash of indecent photos of kids as young as two.
The parents, who have a six-year-old daughter and a son aged 16 months, were taken to a hotel for their safety.
Former school caretaker Hammond, 47 — who fantasised about abusing a little girl — is at a secret new address. He was given his council flat in Hartcliffe, Bristol, after his arrest last December.
Neil, 27, said: "We should have been told about him. We shared a garden. Now we have been forced out of our house because of him." Neil and Jo, 27, are now on a priority list to be rehoused.
Hammond got a community order at Bristol Crown Court last month after admitting making indecent photographs and posting messages on a paedophile chatroom.
