I bought socks and donated them. I guess it was a good call.(donating my own socks was out of the question)Hundreds of families on the south shore of Staten Island, one of the areas hardest hit by Superstorm Sandy, have received more than enough donations of most kinds of clothing but are in desperate need of underwear, the borough president said Tuesday.
"What we do need right now ... is underwear. Undergarments for children and adults," Staten Island Borough President James Molinaro told "Good Day New York," a local TV program on Fox. "That's what we need. That's what we're in desperate need of."
"It's like a third world nation," he said of the destruction on the island's south shore.
Donation centers have had to stop taking shirts and pants because of a deluge of those items, Molinaro added. "I have a warehouse full of clothing," he said.
Molinaro added that many families are refusing to leave their damaged homes due to fears of looting, even with the danger of a nor'easter on the horizon.

and the grounding basis for all this mess in our state??? the "wash narcotic money in real estate" rackets.
mainly generally run by latino ashakenazi's wannabe's, some say latino ashakenazi are sephardic right?? well they got white names and are classifed as white therefore they are white, and they get to perpetrate poison,plague and treachery in our nation, i guarantee you guys won't be worrying about the messianic jews in israel, you'll be worrying about foreign organized drug front sephardic ashakenazi negro and asian and mayan aztec with a firearm trying to get std meds for his family, do you think he going to watch his kids die?? and do nothing???you guys know full well drugs cause the behavior that spreads the std, so even if we had a cure the "behavior" would increase the spread due to the fact people would be less likely to wear protection.-- which is whats happening now and china really "shanghi'ed" the planet with the meds--they got the patent on hiv meds and looks like they are now pulling alot of strings, i personally like the chinese they make the right decision and accept american standards and values.
#42948 Nov 6, 2012
that real estate has got to go back into the state of california's net wealth for std meds ,healthcare etc. REGARDLESS ON WHO OWNS IT--they sold out our state and made too many head aches and heartaches for any one state to handle, our state should be rolling we are in DEBT!!!

Lecture 6 The Practical Aspects of His Life and its Practicality Part-37
Mercy to Whole Creations:
He was a mercy to the whole creation. It grieved him to see people suffering. It was extremely painful for him to see people rejecting the Truth and insisting stubbornly on living in sin. He only wished their well-being. It is his ardent love and sympathy for mankind that forces him to preach and call them to the service of one God and live a God-conscious life.
He is extremely kind to those who accept his call. This verse is a proof that Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) was a well-wisher of mankind in general, and loving and kind to the believers in particular. That is the heavenly evidence in favour of his noble conduct.
The holy Quran is the heavenly Book. It is the word of God, revealed to His last Prophet, for the guidance of mankind. It contains the commandments of Allah and His instructions for the benefit of all mankind. Indeed, the holy Prophets life is the holy Quran in practice. Whatever instructions and commandments of Allah were sent down, being His Messenger he was the first to obey. He practised them while he preached them.
Actions speaks louder than words:
Declaration of Faith in the Oneness of God, Salat (five time obligatory prayer), Fasting, Hajj, Zakat, spending on the needy and destitute, fighting in the path of Allah, self-sacrifice, steadfastness, fortitude, patience, thanks-giving and other principles of good moral behavior that he taught, he first demonstrated through personal example.
His life became an embodiment of what had been revealed for human guidance in the holy Quran. It is related that when some of his companions asked his wife Ayesha (May Allah be pleased with them all) about the holy Prophets practice and his character, she asked them whether they had not read the Quran. His life was a complete reflection of the Quran.
The holy Quran is words while the holy Prophets life is its interpretation in practice. No one can ever know a mans morals, his habits and behaviour better than his wife. When Prophet Muhammad proclaimed to be Allahs Prophet, he had been married to Khadija (May Allah be pleased with her) for fifteen years.
This is long enough for one to know each others nature, temperament and behaviour fully well. This knowledge had certainly left its mark on Khadija s heart. The moment he told her about his Prophethood, she wholeheartedly believed him and supported him. When the Prophet expressed his worry and distress because of the immense burden of his mission, she reassured him saying:
O Prophet of Allah, Allah will never abandon you because you always treat your kin fairly and kindly, you help people to pay their debts, you help the poor, you are hospitable to your guests, you always support what is right, and help the people in distress.(Al-Bukhari)

Two interesting results:
1. Exit polls showed the Obama got statistically the same proportion of Jews (around 70-75%) as 2004.
2. In CT - Linda McMahon, of World Wrestling Federation Fame, lost her senate bid despite spending 50 Million of her OWN money (and also spending 50 Million of her own money a few years ago as well in same bid). Just goes to show that CT we are more sophisticated than to let someone buy a seat.

During a campaign event in New Hampshire, Barack Obama
told an audience of his supporters,you know I tell the
Here are ten flagrant examples where Obama has not told the
truth and in fact has lied to cover up his own administrations
failings, or as a deliberate act of deception.
1) As part of his 2008 campaign pledge, Obama promised to
close down Guantanamo Bay. The Obama administration not
only failed to close the infamous prison camp, they expanded
its use.
2) Last year (after campaigning to protect Habeas Corpus
before he was elected), Obama promised not to sign the
National Defense Authorization Act, with its provisions for
the indefinite detention of American citizens, yet put his
signature on the bill in the dead of night on New Years Eve.
Indeed, it was the Obama administration itself which argued
for the removal of language that would have protected
Americans from the provisions and then had them re-
instituted after a court had struck them down.
3) Obama has lied time and time again about Operation Fast
and Furious, the program which saw guns delivered directly
into the hands of Mexican drug lords. Obama told a national
television station that the program had begun under
Bush when in fact it began under Obamas watch in October
4) Emails sent shortly after the incident as well as a CBS 60
Minutes interview from September 12 prove that the White
House knew the assault on the US Consulate in Benghazi was
a pre-meditated terrorist attack yet the administration spent
over a week claiming the incident was a protest against a You
Tube video.
5) As part of his campaign pitch, Obama promised to not use
signing statements as a way of doing an end run around
Congress. Obama has issued no less than 19 signing
statements since he took office.
United States
#42958 Nov 7, 2012
6) In 2010, Obama said weve excluded lobbyists from policy-
making jobs or seats on federal boards and commissions. Not
only have dozens of lobbyists had regular access to the White
House, but Obama has hired over a dozen lobbyists , breaking
a campaign promise to ensure that lobbyists wont find a job
in my White House.
7) As part of his efforts to bypass congressional authorization
for the war on Libya, Obama gave a speech in which he
promised there would be no boots on the ground in Libya.
This promise was broken when four uniformed military
personnel were sent into Libya, in addition to widespread
reports that US Special Forces had arrived in Libya months
before the overthrow of Gaddafi.
8) Under Obamacare, Obama claimed that there would be no
state-funded abortions. It later emerged that federally funded
abortions would be expanded under Obamacare.
9) In 2008, Obama promised no more illegal wiretapping of
American citizens. Just months after he took office, Obama
expanded Bushs warrantless wiretapping program. The
invasiveness of illegal wiretapping is worse under
Obama than it was under Bush.
10) Before the passage of Obamacare, Obama claimed that the
bill was absolutely not a tax increase on all Americans.
When the Supreme Court rubber-stamped Obamacare, they
were only able to do so by classifying the new mandate as a
tax, otherwise it would have been unconstitutional.
Tell the truth? Obama doesnt know the meaning of the word.
#42959 Nov 7, 2012
Are you against democracy? Do you not respect the votes of millions who chose Obama over Romney? Are you anti-America?
#42960 Nov 7, 2012
More importantly, the election is over, and that poster needs to get over it as well.
#42961 Nov 7, 2012
The most interesting aspect of the election, IMO, is the work of Nate Silver.
There have been a few articles out already on whether he is a "genius" or not, and they are entertaining to read because most of them still dont understand what he did - which was to agregate the multiple polls in each state, and then use a gambling/sports computer model to add confidence statistics that projected the accuracy/error of the aggregated data.
SO while many of the pundits were predicting mythical surges based on intuitions, he was describing the accuracy of all the polling data. By saying Obama had a 90% chance of winning, he was saying he had 90% confidence that the polls putting Obama ahead were accurate.

Congratulations Democrats - Condolences Republicans and Libertarians.
#42963 Nov 7, 2012
Yes, that was a graceful article.
It must be frustrating to both Repubs and Democrats alike- to put so much effort and time into Florida, and at the end of the day the state isnt even electorally relevant any more.
I watched the Romney speech. He looked noticably relieved that it was all over.

it's been so long..
Filed under : Gluten Free Recipes
My Gluten Free friends it has been so long since I have kept up on my blog!! And it is not because I was not thinking of you, but these past two years have been quite the adventure. I managed a complete career change, to buy and renovate and apartment, take up a couple of new sports (add to an already long list) and of course travel and experiment with new foods and recipes…
The seasons are changing here in Whistler, the snow has melted, the flowers are blooming, and finally our food is becoming fresher, thus inspiring my renewed energy to cook!
Tonight my husband and I walked down to our local shop to select fresh ingredients for a delicious dinner. The result was tastie and I wanted to share with my fellow Gluten Free Foodies.
Pan Seared Steak with a Gluten Free Mushroom Gravy
Select a fresh cut of steak from your local store or butcher, a handful of mushrooms, 1 onion, 1 small carton of cream, a green vegetable (we chose Broccoli) and a couple fresh potatoes.
Peel potatoes and thinly slice with in a food processor. Layer the slices in a baking dish and cover with a teaspoon of chill & garlic olive oil, a dollop of butter and a generous splash of cream. Bake in the oven for approx 45 mins. Test with a fork to make sure potatoes are cooked through. Top with a small layer of fresh cheddar cheese and back for a further 5mins.
While potatoes are cooking, prepare remaining ingredients – slice mushrooms, slice 1/2 onion and cut broccoli florets.
Heat your fry pan to a medium-high heat. Place steak on hot pan and sear each side to desired tastes. Note – it is important to only turn your steak the once. Once cooked, remove from heat and allow to sit for 5 minutes.
Add onions to the hot pan with a splash of hot water and cook for 3 minutes until onions are slightly browned. Add mushrooms, cream and reduce to a simmer for 10 mins.
Note – to thicken sauce add half a teaspoon of corn flour or arrowroot to 3 tablespoons of cold water, stir into a paste and add to sauce.
Serve on a warm plate with thinly sliced steak covered in a delicious gluten free mushroom gravy with potatoes gratin and steamed brocoli.
PS. Sorry for no pictures… we ate too quickly

Sorry gentlemen…but ladies only! Why? A unique situation arises when men & children are removed from the equation and women are left to their own devices. Women let their guard come down, shake their hair loose and a natural feeling of relaxation ensues. A woman is allowed to focus on herself, her needs and desires as opposed to others. An environment is created in which a woman feels comfortable exploring, questioning and learning.

Self-Saucing Chocolate Pudding

Gluten Free Living recipes has just been updated with the long awaited Self Saucing Chocolate Pudding
This recipe is an absolute gem and a guaranteed hit at any party!!
for added flare, try serving it with our Self Saucing Berries
Gluten Free Fried Rice
Filed under : Gluten Free Baking Tips > Gluten Free Recipes
Fried Rice is a great way to use up all those left overs in the fridge. A couple of important tips for making a great Gluten Free fried rice:
1. Rice should be cooked the night before and cooled in the fridge. Trying to cook fried rice with warm rice is a nightmare! It must be cold or it will clump.
2. Prepare everything before hand so you can just throw them in the pan once it is hot. That way nothing is over cooked.
3. Use just a small amount off oil to coat the rice, then once you are frying use water to steam the ingredients. Small splashes of water is the key to stir frying.
4. Throw in anything and everything you can think of – corn, peas, ham, bacon, chicken, broccoli, onion, tomato, scrambled eggs… you name it.
These are the ingredients I used today:
1 cup of cooked rice
1 cup of left over stir fry – chicken, bacon, mushrooms, onion, garlic
1/4 cup red and yellow peppers
1/4 spanish onion
splash of Gluten Free tamari soy sauce
3-4 splashes of water
olive oil
Delicious Gluten Free Desserts
Filed under : Gluten Free Living > Gluten Free Products > Gluten Free Recipes
Fall has certainly arrived in Whistler! Our lives are quieting down, the fire is burning, the trees are changing colour and dinner party season has begun….
Last Friday we were in charge of a preparing a birthday cake for our friends surprise party. I was busy working so my hubby decided he would take charge and make a delicious Gluten Free flourless chocolate cake. He did a fantastic job and it was an absolute hit at the party!
Tip: for serving, if you don't have any nice platters, try covering a baking tray with aluminum foil, then place the cake on the tray and cover in melted chocolate topped with a sprinkle of icing sugar and some fresh strawberries.
Tonight we are catching up with more friends and again dessert is our treat… hmm what will I make? I think that in all this cold weather chocolate should be on the cards again. From looking through our recipes on Gluten Free Living I realise that I have been holding out on you and have not shared my famous Gluten Free Self Sourcing Chocolate Pudding recipe…. hhhmm pudding!!
I created this recipe a few years back and it is always a treat. Stay tuned and I will load the recipe on Gluten Free Living.
Enjoy your Sunday afternoon and let's get cooking
A Gluten Free Mistake! By now I should know better…
Filed under : Eating Out > Gluten Free Canada > Gluten Free Living > Gluten Free Products
You would think after being Gluten Free for 7 years I would have my diet totally under control and
NEVER get contaminated!
Well, in fact it is the opposite. I was more 'Gluten Free' in my first few years than I am today!
You see as I learn to live with my Gluten Free diet and rarely have any symptoms, I begin to get relaxed and comfortable with my regular brands and products. A perfect example is yesterday. I was buying some groceries for my work lunches this week at my regular grocery store, when I noticed that Rice Cakes were on special. My usual choice of butter popcorn was already sold out, so not being able to decide between White Cheddar or Tomato and Basil; I decided I would just get both.
Today I opened the packet of Tomato and Basil and was delighted how tasty they were. I was already planning the toppings I would add for lunch when I started to take notice at how much flavouring they were coated in and I began to wonder… hhmm maybe these are not Gluten Free? I was so tempted to just take another bite and claim ignorance, but I seam to be doing this a lot lately so decided to take my own advice and do some research.
This is what I found on the Quakers Canada Website in the FAQ -
13. Do you have any gluten-free products?
• Although The Quaker Oats Company of Canada primarily produces products that are grain-based, we do have a few gluten-free products. Most flavours of Quaker® Rice and Corn Cakes and Quaker® Crispy Minis Rice Chips are gluten free. However, our newest flavour of Quaker® Rice Cakes, Savoury Tomato & Basil, is not gluten free. Gatorade® Thirst Quencher, Aunt Jemima® Syrups and Quaker® Corn Meal are all gluten free. Quaker® Puffed Rice is also considered gluten free; however, as is produced on the same production line as Puffed Wheat, there is a minute chance of cross contamination. Due to changes which might occur to the product formula, it is important to check our ingredient listing regularly.
Doh! I was so upset with them for making a rice product and then adding yeast to it!!! Why I ask why!!! But on top of that I was angry and frustrated with myself. I know better than not to read the label on a product, especially a new flavour.
So Suzi's new rule is:
"Always check the ingredients labels on new flavours and products, but to also check the products I eat regularly, because you never know then they change the ingredients and what is gluten free one day, may not be the next!â€
A scrumptious Gluten Free lunch
Filed under : Gluten Free Living > Gluten Free Products > Gluten Free Recipes
Today for my work lunch I decided I would use some left over roast beef with some fresh organic ingredients for a yummy open toasted sandwich. This has become my new favourite combo, I can't stop eating it!!! Here is the recipe..
Roast Beef Open Sandwiches
Glutino flax seed bread – toasted
fresh organic avocado
cold roast beef, lightly salted
slices of fresh organic red pepper
sliced of pickled banana peppers
fresh organic baby arugula leaves (or baby spinach)
Layer ingredients in order as listed and enjoy with an ice cold glass of water.
Tip: If you have trouble buying Gluten Free Bread, this would also be great with grilled polenta or on rice/corn crackers
The Old Spaghetti Factory
Filed under : Eating Out > Gluten Free Living
A 'cheap and cheerful' dinner with all our friends was the request from my very close friend who is leaving town tomorrow. And so after much discussion we decided on the 'The Old Spaghetti Factory' in Whistler. This is the second time I have been to The Old Spaghetti Factory this year and I have to say I was extremely impressed with their handling of my Gluten Free needs. I took my packet of Gluten Free pasta with me and early on in the evening spoke with my server about my Gluten free meal requirements. She was very responsive and although not totally familiar with Gluten Free foods, took my pasta to the chef and explained my needs. Upon returning with the wine she confirmed the sauces that would be suitable and which salads would work. In the end I chose a creamy pesto pasta with chorizo sausage rather than chicken. I was certainly not disappointed, my meal was delicious and because I bought my own pasta I was only charged $5 for the sauce. Now that is what I call a 'cheap and cheerful' dinner.
Gluten Free : Renovation Chaos
Filed under : Eating Out > Gluten Free Living > Gluten Free Products
This is the reason I have been neglecting my blog recently – Renovations! We were in our new apartment less than a month before we started ripping up carpet, pulling down cupboards and tearing out drywall. So far everything is going well, although it has taken some serious organization skills to live out of a bedroom and bathroom for a few weeks.
Surprisingly staying Gluten Free throughout all the chaos has not been as difficult as I might have thought! Here are some tips and tricks I have learnt along the way to keep my diet and energy levels balanced -
Breakfast – Arrive at work a little earlier and take advantage of the fabulous work kitchen…
For me I have my Natures Path Gorilla Munch (taking a break from the corn flakes) topped with sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, half a banana and a drop of good ol' Canadian Maple Syrup.
Lunch – Bring the toaster and all your appliances from home and cook up a gourmet lunch at work
For me I alternate between – nachos, cheese and ketchup on toast, toasted sandwiches with yummy salads and heated up left overs from last nights take away dinner.
Dinner – Remember all those fabulous friends you always cook dinner for? It's time to pay them a visit
This is where you need to get the most creative. We have been alternating nights buying take out, offering to cook dinner for a friend at their house and getting invited over to friends for BBQ's. This week, we will be house sitting for a friend, which works out great. They have even stocked there BBQ full on gas, saying 'the Aussie's are coming to stay, we better have the BBQ ready'
All in all we have been managing fairly well and I cannot wait to have my brand spankin' new kitchen installed and cook up some delicious gluten free delights for my fellow Gluten Free Foodie Friends.

I'm re-publishing this post for Practical Tactical Tuesday because I like it and because very little is more practical than "How To" advice on writing better headlines.
Hope you enjoy:
My confession? Even though my copy always had great headlines, my blog posts frequently didn't.
I wasn't (yet) struck by the need for trouble – and without a hint of taboo, or a challenge to the norm, or a perceived conflict, or at the very least a paradox, most headlines just never get off the ground.
Here's why there has to be a sense of trouble living at the heart of your headline:
Your headline needs to hook the reader into reading your "story," and stories are created by and live off of conflict. In fact, another phrase for trouble is "story appeal."
Your goal: entice the reader with a hint of conflict, and then she "has" to click through so she can know how the conflict is resolved and what kind of transformation takes place as a result.
4 Ways to Create Conflict in your Headlines:
Technique #1 – Refer to an unseen action or back-story that hints at, or includes, trouble
This one is a favorite of novelists and short story writers. Here's a classic opening sentence from Farenheit 451: "It was a pleasure to burn." Whoah, Nelly, right? Who is burning what and why are they taking so much pleasure in it? That enjoyment reeks of trouble, because the only things normal people take pleasure in burning are cigars and red fire ant mounds. And some might question the fire ant part 😉
So here are some examples of Copyblogger and Wonderbranding* headlines that use this technique
- One Big Way to Avoid a Headline Fail – To me, this one implies a "lesson learned" story behind it.
- What a Drunk Swiss Guy Can Teach You About Handling Criticism – Gotta be some back-story to this one, right? And where there are drunk guys there's usually trouble…
- Confessions of a Comment Addict – "Confessions of" anything requires a backstory involving some kind of "sin"/trouble.
- The Most Horrible Blog Post Ever – Do I have to explain this one?
- Turning Leaf Wine Resists the Soccer Mom – Definitely a story behind this one, and the resist part seems to promise some kind of conflict, right?
Technique # 2 – Use paradox, a challenge to expectations, and "negative" promises
With this technique the trouble involves conflicting ideas in the mind of your reader. You're challenging how they normally see or think of the world, or at least your blogging topic. Break reader's guessing mechanism to shake them awake. Create the itch to know and to reconcile the incongruent by following the example of these great headlines:
- How Cross-Dressing Makes You a Better Blogger – Um, how the #$%!@! does cross-dressing relate to blogging? And how can you not click through to find out?
- Kill Your Good Ideas – Huh? Why would I want to do that?
- Can Your PowerPoint Presentation Rival TV Marketing? – PowerPoint as good as a TV ad – are you kidding?
- Write What You Don't Know – Hey, that's the opposite of the cliché, right?
- How Penny Pinching Can Improve Your Marketing to Women Strategy – Who ever heard of penny pinching attracting women?
- Why Everyone Should Grow Up Poor – There's definitely got to be a story that explains this seemingly left-field statement, right?
Technique # 3 – Confront and offer to explain or fix your readers' afflictions
The home of the "Do you make these mistakes in English" and the "How to" class of headlines, both of which are usually sure-fire templates. The key to this technique is to hone in on a genuine, sleep-killing fear or problem plaguing your readership – and of course to have an explanation or solution. "Why No One Links to Your Best Posts (And What to Do About It)" is a perfect example of that.
This category is straightforward enough that I'm canning the comments after the examples, OK?
- Do Your Readers Secretly Think You're a Liar?
- Why No One Links to Your Best Posts (And What to Do About It)
- Do you know who's killing your email marketing?

Technique #4 – Leave the trouble implied by your promised benefit
All positive headlines fall into this category. But positive headlines have to at least imply and address a real audience need, right? There has to be some dissatisfaction within your reader for them to see the appeal in the benefit. This one is great when a direct statement of the problem might be insulting. Take the headline, "Four Ways to Be More Interesting" for example; do you really want a headline that asks "Do people find you boring?"
Again, here are a few examples:

- How I Got 294 Comments With One Blog Post – Is your blog comment poor?
- Internet Marketing for Smart People – What does that say about regular Internet Marketing?
- 3 Quick and Dirty Holiday Hints for Procrastinating E-tailors – They're not saying you're a procrastinator, but these optimization tips would solve your problems if, somehow, time has gotten away from you 😉
While the idea of trouble living at the heart of story is a universal observation, my classification of techniques is largely personal and certainly not exhaustive, so I'd love to know what you think. If you see that I missed a category, or have some great examples of your own to share, please feel free to comment.
* I chose to use a lot of Copyblogger examples because: a) Copyblogger is well known both for publishing great headlines, and for offering awesome "how-to write headlines" content; and b) it's easier to collect headlines from one, rich source than to scour the blogosphere looking for examples. Other source material and headlines were also taken from Wonderbranding, Men With Pens, Psychotactics, Get Elastic, and Roy Williams' Monday Morning Memo. All readers are welcome to post additional examples in the comments.

Jeff, my yahoo home page is excellent at this, so excellent that just this morning I have decided to pull the plug and implement a new home page. You see the problem is I use the net A LOT and every time I go to look something up I get sidetracked by the headlines that beg me to click to find out the story conflict. I wind up forgetting what I logged on to do so I'm out! I'm making polkadancing.com my new home page,

Why the world needs more Christians who put themselves first.
Jeff on 03.21.2012
Mike & Jon,
Thanks for the comments. Seems like Yahoo was a victim of its own headline sucess : )
And, yeah, Christians who put themselves first certainly violates a bit of common perception, definitely piqued my curiosity!

JC Whitted on 03.21.2012
In a recent column you inspired me to write a headline and focus my entire pitch for this book on a story that, I think, lines up nicely with this topic:
How a little boy in Wyoming launched a crusade against funeral home ripoffs.
Here's the link to the working site.
Thanks, JC

model: JET 9 CARBON
While Niner was working diligently on giving the RDO model some key updates for the next season, thankfully they chose to keep that original design platform in their lineup of full-suspension bikes. It has now transformed into the basic level Niner Jet Carbon 9. The key items to note here, are what you don't give up: Same carbon fiber frame with same geometry, along with being very close to the same weight that functions exceptionally well on the trail. This regular Carbon version shown here received the standard cartridge bearings and uses the lower priced FOX shock to get it within a middle class price. They have also chose to keep the QR rear-axle, and even continue to use the ti-frame guards!
They have been slightly changing things up a bit by busting out the monotone paint details. To begin with they will offer the Jet 9 Carbon in the color (Moondust) with the complete bike and the newest 2013 Shimano SLX drivetrain goods. The front suspension duty will be handled with a Rockshox Recon Gold 4 inch fork. The bike will come standard with their in-house brand alloy bar and post with a WTB Volt seat, and roll the bike with an American Classic wheel set, and Schwalbe Tubeless Ready Racing Ralph tires. The price will be $3,899 USD for the total bike, which sounds like a great deal. – A recent update is that these complete bikes are now available here at Competitivecyclist.com… Enjoy! But as the article is now updated, that pricing has been discounted down to $3019.00 USD, while supplies last. Get them before their gone..

Mom is the official nail clipper in our house and Dad is the official cat holder. Why am I telling you this? Well, Mom decided it was nail trimming time. It was all going well until Mom got to my front left paw. She was trimming my final nail on the paw and I started fussing (and I never fuss during nail trimming).
Mom looked closer and discovered that I had somehow ripped my nail off. Now, they keep checking it every few days to make sure it doesn't get infected. I'm NOT loving Mom right now. Doesn't she realize it hurts when she checks my paw?
Disgruntled purrs,
Mom and Dad have been tired of winter but it is finally starting to warm up here. The windows are open more. I love to sit by window and smell the air. The birdies are out and I watch them. Wish I could catch a few but I can't get out so I chatter at them. Sometimes I'll see a chippy or bunny. Mom and Dad have a feeder in front of one of the windows. So we get to see birds eating. Late at night we even had a deer come to our feeder. I saw it eating late at night. Dad saw the tracks in the ground near the feeder. He said that it has been such a tough winter, the outside animals were looking for food. So they were willing to venture into our neighborhood to try and get food. Glad I don't have to live outside.
Dad says my birthday is coming up next month. I'll be a year old but Dad thinks I'll still growing because he thinks I'm part Main Coon. I tried to tell him I'm a cat and not a raccoon. Silly Humans.
Well I hope everyone is enjoying the spring weather
with contented purrs
I played a joke on mom and dad on Friday morning. When mom and dad go to their "work" as they call it, they do a quick cat count to make sure all of us are ok. Well it was time for the cat count and everyone except me showed up when mom and dad were looking for us. Dad looked everywhere but could not find me. He called my name I think several times but I'm a cat, not a dog, so I did not answer. Finally they left for work a little worried about me. Dad was sure that I was somewhere in the house. So I played a good game of hide and seek. When mom and dad got home from work I showed up so they knew I was ok. Dad scolded me a little though. He was worried I got stuck somewhere in the house but he should know I would cry if I was stuck.
Oh well, I don't think I'll do that again.
On a happier note, it is finally warming up here. Sometimes we get to have the window open a crack and I can sniff the fresh air. The birds are out so me, Arya and Danaerys can chatter at the birds.

Celebrity Workout: Jake Gyllenhaal in Prince of Persia
Celebrity Workout: Jake Gyllenhaal
Enter strength and conditioning coach Simon Waterson, "The ultimate goal with Jake's training was to provide a functional, strong and agile physique which would enable him to carry out the huge workload and stresses," says Waterson. "My main aim was to build athleticism — but he also had to look amazing, too."
The trainer employed gym-based workouts incorporating functional plyrometric and strength circuit training into Gyllenhaal's regimen. "We concentrated on movement, rather than muscle so his body would perform naturally. Jake is methodical; he has a vast understanding of fitness and he made every workout count, always giving 100 percent."
According to Waterson, he worked with Gyllenhaal twice daily during pre-production, tackling cardio in the morning and gym workouts in the evening, but the actor didn't abandon his training once production began. Waterson trained with Gyllenhaal throughout production, 45 minutes a day, six days a week, alternating cardio with strength and conditioning.
Find out how Jake got as pumped as a Prince...

Stripping Down for Feminism? There's Nothing Feminist About Being A Slut
posted at 9:36 am on May 19, 2011 by Cassy Fiano
Originally posted at David Horowitz's Newsreal:
What's the newest trend in feminism today? SlutWalks are all the rage, where women dress like sluts and proudly embrace their sluthood. This will apparently have the double effect of fighting back against blaming the victim for being raped, as well as being empowering for women — because being a slut in modern feminism is supposedly empowering. Of course, all that these SlutWalks are really doing is proving that the death knell for femisogynists is continuing to ring.
Pseudo-feminists advocating for sluthood is nothing new. Instead of being looked down upon, sleeping around is considered to be embracing sexuality. It's healthy, empowering, and anyone who thinks otherwise is a misogynistic anti-feminist prude (and probably a right-winger to boot!) So the comment made by a Toronto policeman that "women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimized" naturally meant that femisogynists should revel in sluthood! And while the Toronto cop's comment may have been what kicked the event off, fighting back against victim-blaming is nowhere near the only goal of these SlutWalks. Unsurprisingly, organizers want women to be proud of their sexuality and to reclaim the word slut.
Historically, the term 'slut' has carried a predominantly negative connotation. Aimed at those who are sexually promiscuous, be it for work or pleasure, it has primarily been women who have suffered under the burden of this label. And whether dished out as a serious indictment of one's character or merely as a flippant insult, the intent behind the word is always to wound, so we're taking it back. "Slut" is being re-appropriated.
We are tired of being oppressed by slut-shaming; of being judged by our sexuality and feeling unsafe as a result.
Ah, yes, the ever-present threat of slut-shaming. Why can't more people be supportive of sleeping around with a different random guy every night? Clearly, if more people were supportive of being a slut, there would be less rape. Or something.
So far, there have been SlutWalks in Toronto, Dallas, London, Ottawa, and Boston. There are many, many more planned, all around the world, in cities like Montreal, Orlando, Tucson, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Philadelphia. This is all to the liking of many noted femisogynist leaders. Jaclyn Friedman appeared at the Boston SlutWalk as a featured speaker. Feministing has multiple posts glowing with approval of the SlutWalk. Jill Filipovic said she was with the walkers in spirit. And Amanda Marcotte offers up the most common defense of the SlutWalks: it's, like, supposed to be funny, you humorless prudes:
I've been broadly supportive of this, because it brings together two of my favorite things in the world, feminism and humor.
… Of course, since Slutwalk is built around humor, it baffles the humorless. And so defenders of Slutwalk have entered into this maddening space that is the equivalent of trying to explain a joke to the humorless, and if you've ever tried to do that, believe me, it may be the biggest waste of time on the planet.
Oh, I get it! Debasement of women as humor! Hilarious! And it's progress, too. It's just what the original feminist leaders envisioned when they were fighting for equality: the right for women to be called sluts and be proud.
In reality, there is nothing feminist about being a slut. While fighting back against the vile act of blaming the victim for being raped is certainly admirable, acting as if sluthood is something to be proud of is ludicrous. There's nothing empowering about sleeping around or being called a slut, any more than an African-American being called the n-word could be called empowering.
And while the emotional consequences of sluthood could be debated — many women end up feeling used and depressed while others don't — the potential for physical harm can't be debated. Consider the facts. 1 in 5 women have herpes, and the rates of most STDs have climbed since 1997. For young girls, it's even worse — 1 in 4 teenage girls currently have an STD. Teenage girls who have sex are also more likely to be suicidal or depressed. Clearly, being a slut is not something to be encouraged — if for no other reason than to safeguard one's own health. But that matters not to the femisogynists — in their minds, men sleep around freely, so women should, too.
Holding SlutWalks is not empowering, and there's nothing feminist about being a slut or being proud to be called one. The modern feminist movement keeps getting more and more out of touch. The goal now is to take a term used to dehumanize and debase women and turn it into a badge of pride, so that women can embrace their sluthood? This isn't empowerment or liberating or feminist. It's ridiculous and an embarrassment. If femisogynists want to know why they are becoming more and more irrelevant, these SlutWalks are a shining example.

Blowed a fuse... why?
Tested the newly wired harness yesterday.
Before the test I checked for draw with the plus cable fastened on the battery and a test lamp between the minus battery pole and ground. No light.
Discovered that the headlight switch is broken. No park lights and no rear lights at all. Only the headlights works. Bench tested the switch to be sure
Have ordered a new switch.
When I tested the flasher signal, the fuse blowed after app 10-20 seconds.
Could that be because of the non functional headlight switch?
The car has the usual flasher/brake light/rear light in the same bulb.
Turn signal.
The fuse was the original one from EZ wiring.
The fuse was 15 amp.
Dave W
Thanks for the input, but none of the working turn signal flashers are chinese. They are from the scrapyard, tow. If the trouble goes on. Ill try to disconnect one by one of them.
One more thing, by the way! One of the lamps is a LED lamp. and first I wasn't aware that ground and plus must not be mixed on LED lamps.
When the fuse blowed, I had this mixed up. I thought is was none working. Maybe this can create a small dead short tat after a while will blow the fuse?
Most probably not unless one was defective.
No it wasn't. They both worked fine when I got the wiring correct.

Use the beater.
It's only one hunt and he knows the gun.

First, we don't know the conditions your friend will be hunting in.
1) Open fields, low attitude, not a lot of walking, possible long shots, here a Rem 7mm mag would be great. Not a punishing kick, flat shooting, and delivers good ft/lbs of energy. This would work well on elk, and not be overkill for deer. Other good calibers, 270, 30-06, 280, 300win.mag, all just plain vanilla, but all very capable. 338 is a great all around gun, but can be hard on the shoulder.
2)Heavy cover, lots of trees, lots of walking, higher attitude, range limit of say 250 yards. For this hunt, find a "ultra-lite" gun, it will have a 20" barrel at longest (won't catch tree branches as easy while carrying it over your shoulder) and be much easier to carry up the long mountain climb. Here a 30-06 is about the best choice, a magnum needs a 24" barrel to achieve full velocity, so stay away from them, and in a ultra light, a magnum will kick like a mule. In a 30-06 stay away from the 220 grain loads, as most will be a round nose, and lose velocity easily.
As for the gun, find any bolt action, with a synthetic stock for $600 or less and you will be fine.
The glass---spend at a minimum $250 better yet $400.00 Stay with the 3 x 9's (most bang for your buck)
If you end up with a 30-06, Hornady makes a "light Magnum" load for the 06 that is like adding a turbo, if they shoot well in your choice of gun, it would be a good load.
Sight it in for 3" high at 100 yards, learn the load and know the gun.
An ounce of lead is worth 200lbs of cop.
Use the beater.
It's only one hunt and he knows the gun.
I would NOT put my money on 30-06 Remington Core-Lokt ammo. Shooting it in my gun (Remington) at 100 yds it might hit 6" to the right, then the left, then high... so we were trying to figure what was going on. Changed ammo.... it shot perfectly. Tried the Core-Lokt again and the bullet was all over the place. Switch back to 3 other ammos, and no issues what-so-ever with them. That told me I"m not using Core-Lokt ammo again.

He needs to try any ammo he plans to use, before he goes, and make sure what he picks actually works and shoots well in his gun.
That's one of the great (or frustrating) things about rifle shooting. Each one likes what they like. I've seen identical rifles from the same manufacturer in the same caliber shoot totally different sized groups with the same loads. When recommending (or not recommending) a certain type of ammo, a certain load, or a specific bullet you can make honest evaluations based on terminal performance that you have observed on game but you can never make a blanket statement about accuracy. What one rifle hates, another may shoot one hole groups with.
I recently bought 1000 of the Midway Dogtown bullets for my new .204 Remington 700. Wouldn't shoot worth a darn showing 2 1/2" groups at 100 yds. Gave some of my loads to my shooting buddy who was at the range with me and his Savage .204 shot a 1/2" group with them. Same case, primer, powder and powder charge but with a Nosler bullet shoots one ragged hole out of my Remington. It's all a matter of finding what your particular rifle likes best.

My .308, .30-06, and 7mm-08 will shoot them at somewhere around 2 1/2" groups at 100 yds. My 30-30 does ok with them, but 1 1/2" is a good group with them in the marlin and I've not tried them in my winchester. Other factory stuff will shoot close to moa and some will shoot sub-moa. Just not the Rem CL. (or any Hornady light magnums that I've tried)
I love core-lokt bullets, they perform well on game, they are cheap, and they will shoot accurately with the right load. I use them in my reloads and can get the bullets to shoot sub-moa, but there is just something about the factory stuff that my rifles don't like.
Luckilly all of my rifles pretty much like the Federal Power-Shok line in the blue box and it's usually cheaper than the core-lokt anyway. A box costs the same or less than buying just the brass to reload in some cases. Heck, I get 1 1/2" groups with those at 100yds with open sights from my 16" barreled Winchester trapper. That's as well as I am capable ofshooting with open buckhorn sights, and it's good enough to kill bambi.
Like Hoss said, it just depends on the rifle. If you don't reload, you just have to keep trying different factory loads until you find one or two that your rifle likes. That's not hard to do as long as you stick with commonly available cartridges like .308 Win and 30-06 Sprg, but it can get expensive.
When you've got 'em by the balls, their hearts & minds will follow. Semper Fi.
I think the best idea is to get in to a rifle that is going to be for more than just the application of the elk hunt. I think the .308 is an excellent flat shooting round. The '06 is a good all around caliber, but is a little too much sometimes. I am not a big fan of buying a caliber just so you can brag about what abig bad bullet you are launching. I personally like the Winchester Model 70. The pre-64 type action is the best by far. I personally like the .270, mine makes me look like a professional marksman with 130 grain Sierra Game King BTSP. However, that being said a .30 caliber simply makes a bigger hole which is always good. I think the .308 is the best all around compromise for all things considered. I also use Nikon glass...Monarch to be exact and it is a very good buy for the budget.
Friends don't let friends be MALL NINJAS.
I am just as nice as anyone lets me be and can be just as mean as anyone makes me. - Quoted from Terryger, New member to our forum.
Another vote for a Savage in .30-06 or .308; other contenders would be .270 or 7mm-08.
The Savage is a good quality rifle for not much money; put some serious money into the glass...3-9x40 is plenty, get a solid top-end Nikon or Leupold VX-III, or, for a little more, the Trijicon Accupoints are incredible scopes, and that illuminated reticle is an awfully nice feature if one needs to shoot in less than optimum light conditions.
I'm pretty sure I could walk into my local shop and put together a Savage + Accupoint for close to $1100 ($6-700 for the scope, 3-400 for the rifle); put a good Nikon or VX-III ($300-500) on it, and easily less than that.

Haven't used it on elk, but my 700CDL in 30-06 is wickedly accurate with Hornady 165 gr BTSP Light Magnum rounds. Got a Zeiss Conquest on it which is good for anything up to 300 yards in my book. Sighted dead on at 150 yards so anything from 100-250 is almost dead aim.
I seasoned the barrel with those light magnum rounds and took a nice Uvalde (south Texas) 5 year old buck easily. Several other hunters had their 300 WSM's and their bucks ran but those Hornady spun mine around and dropped him in his tracks. It does have a serious muzzle blast (per the other hunters about a mile away) but the recoil wasn't any worse in my estimation. The Light Magnums give you the same energy at 100 yards that the standard 30-06 has at the muzzle. As little as I shoot, I don't see any damage to the gun or my shoulder. Just another option.

6.5x55 Swede....that's what they use for large game over yonder, and it's what I'm going to use again this year for my big buck. 140gr A-Max is wonderful. Best kept secret because when you say it, others laugh. Well, I say go ahead and let them laugh. I can load a 160gr SP in this cartridge. Ballistic coefficients are awesome.
The 6.5x55 Swede
Go with a .270, a 7mm-06 or a 30-06...that is all you'll need.
Good options: Browning x or a bolt are good. Remmys are good but people often have to do some work to get it to shoot real good. Savage, Howa made (the Howa or Weatherby Vanguard) are good quality, great accuracy, and great prices in comparison, IMO.

I've got 2 swedes that my dad bought over 40 yrs ago. Have taken plenty of mulies, but I've wondered about the effectiveness w/ elk. I'll be putting in again for a tag this year and hope to get drawn for next fall for elk. Not in the budget to upgrade the rifle, so I'll be using the 6.5x55. Any experience w/ the swede on animals larger than deer.
270, 06, 308 any of them will do the job quite well.
I have taken a number of Elk, Deer and other stuff with a Winchester Model 88 in .308 over the past 48 years. Didn't have to track any of them.
If buying new you might as well get a short action which means .308 from the 3 listed.
The .308 using Winchester Super X 180 Grain Silvertip's is what will get my family's Elk this year.
3 to 9X optics are more than necessary. I prefer fixed 4X.
Good luck.

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
No your not being unreasonable it seems as though you do everything in your power to satisfy him but he isn't showing you that same courtesy as far as your needs are concerned, if he truly cared about you he would compromise and do it when you want to do it along with when and how he wants to do it. What you are going to have to do is sit down and try to set some boundaries as to when to do it and how you want it done. He needs to realize that having sex with someone is not one sided he has gotten so use to masturbating that he is become a some what selfish lover now because he knows he has other options as to how to orgasm. His masturbation is actually harming the relationship instead of enhancing it because he knows that if you do not give it to him he can do it himself without all of the emotion and feelings involved and may much rather do it that way than to do it with you that is why he feels as though he is in control of the sexual intimacy in your relationship and you have to take control of the situation yourself. He may have an obsession with masturbation that is emotionally making him absent from the relationship and if the relationship continues with this you may find yourself without a mate so it's important to talk to him now and not let it get anymore serious.
If both of you were to start masturbating then you both will be filling your voids without the other and that is never good for a relationship. Accommodating him in the mornings means that you too are being accommodated also so don't stopped that aspect of your life because you really have to feel some type of connection with him intimately. I think your mate needs to seek counseling for why he has to masturbate so much when he has someone like you there and willing it could be an addiction to masturbating.
If he is finding it hard to control his masturbating, so much so that it is affecting your relationship then it may be times for him to seek counseling. Especially if he has to masturbating almost daily, it's getting out of control and the enjoyment can be lost or become short lived. It can become a very negative thing if your mate is finding it hard to control it of even stop it once it has gotten out of control. If you are in that place with your mate and want to control how often he is masturbating and have tried and tried in the past only to fail, then you should turn to an approach that has stood the test of time which is either counseling or hypnosis to stop his obsessive masturbation or else he will totally replace you with his masturbation. The hours he wastes masturbating takes away from your life. Those are hours that he could be doing other things like spending that time with you in intimate ways. When he feels the urge to masturbate he should fill that time with something else like going to the gym or hanging with friends this way he saves that energy for you. The reason it doesn't last when he tries to avoid masturbating may be because he has nothing else to fill his time.

Chacin Leaves Game With Injury
Chacin leaves game grabbing his lower back
DENVER, Colo. - Rockies starter Jhoulys Chacin was pulled from Friday night's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks with an injury after throwing his 100th pitch, becoming the first Colorado pitcher to reach that number since last June.
The last time a Colorado starter reached the 100 mark in pitches was June 12, a stretch of 117 games, according to STATS. It was the longest string in the majors since records started being kept by STATS in 1988. Before the Rockies' streak, the longest string of starters not throwing 100 pitches in a game was held by Washington, which went 33 games from Aug. 31, 2011, to April 10, 2012.
The team had not yet announced the nature of Chacin's injury. Chacin was seen grabbing his lower left back after throwing his fourth pitch to Arizona's Cody Ross with one out in the seventh. He was replaced by reliever Wilton Lopez.

Thread: Why does Mcnair get a free pass?
Re: Why does Mcnair get a free pass?
Last year on the road, after the so called "light" went on for boller, The ravens go into cleveland and with the game on the line boller throws a pick to end all hope of his progression. Thinking Boller can't do it is not a load of crap because he has never shown that he can but you know what is crap, this raw deal mcnair is getting from so called fans who think Mcnair is the better option but in the same breath say that Boller could do the same work. That is ludicrous and as you say CRAP.
Re: Why does Mcnair get a free pass?On the other hand, had it not been for the mediocre QB play for 3/4ths of the game, trailing 3-14 after many passes in the dirt and over the heads or behind the receivers, there would have been no need for the dramatic comeback.
Had the defense not given up 14 points in the second quarter and let Frye make them look like chumps then we would have won 3-0...
Using what ifs to make a point is silly. Only one thing actually DID happen so lets try to stick with reality.
Also, I will go on record (since it seems we are keeping score) and join Crazy as one who is willing to give Mac a few free passes because of who he is and what he has done.
Re: Why does Mcnair get a free pass?The ravens go into cleveland and with the game on the line boller throws a pick to end all hope of his progression.
(:25) (Shotgun) K.Boller pass to M.Clayton for 6 yards, TOUCHDOWN NULLIFIED by Penalty. PENALTY on BLT-J.Ogden, Ineligible Downfield Pass, 5 yards, enforced at CLV 6 - No Play.
Guess that didn't play a factor in that loss at all.
(12:54) (Field Goal formation) D.Zastudil Aborted. M.Katula FUMBLES at CLV 16, recovered by BLT-D.Zastudil at CLV 15. D.Zastudil to CLV 17 for -2 yards (L.Bodden). FUMBLES (L.Bodden), RECOVERED by CLV-J.Parker at CLV 17.
How come Boller didn't get charged with that? Had to be his fault.
(13:11) K.Boller pass to D.Mason to CLV 46 for 18 yards (D.McCutcheon).
PENALTY on BLT-O.Mughelli, Illegal Use of Hands, 10 yards, enforced at BLT 36 - No Play.
Had no bearing on the game.
But no, let's focus on Boller throwing an interception on 4th and 20, and ONLY on that. Because after all, he's the only one who made any real mistakes in the game. Nevermind we win that game without Ogden's penalty as well.
I will not give McNair a free pass. Because as someone who was touted as our savior, and who is supposed to be THAT MUCH better than Boller (which after 12 years, he better be), he should be able to walk in here and lay the smackdown on the opposing defenses. All that beating the blitz, all that no more 8 men in the box. All these touchdowns we're supposed to be scoring in the redzone instead of field goals.
When I start seeing those, then I'll stop bitching about the offense. In the meantime, I am just a bit nervous about tomorrow's game.
Re: Why does Mcnair get a free pass?
We lost that game in Cleveland Stinger and it was largely because of Boller--and I have to say its a far better example then the Texan game for a number of reasons.
Mobtown is 100% correct. You guys deal with too many IF's.
If boller did this then what.
If Mcnair screws up then what.
If the defense let us down then what.
If stover misses the fg then what.
If the WR caught a the ball then what.
If Ray Lewis doesn't have a DMVP year then what.
If the FO spent money on the OL instead of Mcnair then what
If you are going to wonder, wouldn't you wonder why the FO went after Mcnair and forced Boller to sit? Nick-pick or conjure up any kind of scenario you wish. The truth of the matter is when Boller was asked to get us a win he never did it when it counted. This is why we have Mcnair starting for us and there are no ifs and's or buts about it.
Anyway its Sunday Lets hope for a win.
and as always

Mumbai: The DLF Indian Premier League today announced the induction of the 'Orange Cap' initiative into the league.
The Orange Cap will be awarded to the batsman with the most cumulative runs to his name on each day of the season, and will be worn by that batsman in the field. The Orange Cap is traditional in style and will stand out from any other headgear in the tournament, a release said here today.
At the end of the season, the holder of the Orange Cap will win the honour of being called the 'Winner of Orange Cap 2008' and will receive recognition for his deeds with the willow on the occasion of the Grand Finals in the city.
New Zealand stumper Brendon McCullum of the Kolkata Knight Riders currently is the proud holder of the prestigious 'Orange Cap' as the highest cumulative runscorer in the League. This is due to his world record 158 scored against the Bangalore Royal Challengers at the inaugural game on April 18.
He is closely followed by Chennai Super Kings Michael Hussey, while captain of the Delhi Daredevils Virender Sehwag and Chennai Super Kings opening batsman Matthew Hayden are tied at number three.
Sehwag catapulted to third position through his exploits with the bat at Hyderabad, while Hayden scored a blistering 81 off 46 balls against the Mumbai Indians to achieve a joint third position in the 'Orange Cap' standings.
Lalit Modi, chairman and Commissioner of DLF Indian Premier League, said ''Cricket is often remembered and recorded as statistics and not by material distinctions. The DLF Indian Premier League will create a distinction for the best performing batsman, which will be cherished and valued by each player through this initiative. The purpose of this initiative is to be innovative, create another unique piece of history that sets the DLF Indian Premier League apart form the crowd, and to reward outstanding achievements by the players.''

http://worldnetdaily.com/news/articl...TICLE_ID=56047looking forward to part 2....Philosopher George Santayana said that those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. It's true. One of the reasons to study history is to avoid repeating past mistakes. When it comes to freedom, we cannot afford to forget the lessons of the past. So you and I need to know the history of gun control, because history teaches us there is a terrible price to pay when we lose our right to keep and bear arms.
Over 200 years ago, when the Founding Fathers drafted the Second Amendment, no one questioned the need for private gun ownership. The Framers considered private firearms to be essential to protecting personal liberty, both as a means of opposing foreign threats and also as a check against excessive government power. The Framers were passionately devoted to the idea that a self-sufficient armed citizenry is the best means of preserving liberty.
But many on the left do not want you to know this. They keep the truth from being taught in public schools, and they even write books laden with falsehoods in a dishonest attempt to rewrite history.
Seven years ago, Emory University historian Michael Bellesiles published a book purportedly proving there were few guns and gun owners in early America. The book garnered Columbia University's coveted Bancroft Prize. Two years later, primarily due to the efforts of a brilliant young research historian, Clayton Cramer, who had studied that period in history extensively, the book was revealed to be a total fraud, full of lies and fabrications. Bellesiles was forced to resign from Emory University and, for the first time in history, Columbia University rescinded the Bancroft Prize.
Every American who values his or her constitutional rights should know something about these frauds that gun control advocates perpetrate so we can be watchful and teach the truth to our young ones.
Early Americans were gun owners. Private firearm ownership was widespread from the coasts to the frontier, in both the North and the South.
Our ancestors not only knew the value of gun rights, they actually practiced those rights. Many early Americans provided for their family through their skill with a firearm, and many more Americans had a gun hanging over the hearth or in the bedroom to protect the house and the children against wild animals or criminals. These firearms were also seen as an insurance policy against American Indians, the British or French, and even against our own central government.
This honored tradition went completely unchallenged until the 1900s. Then New York passed the Sullivan Act in 1911, one of the first gun control laws. This law required that firearms small enough to be concealed on a person be registered. This state law became a test measure for future gun control laws.
Opponents of the Second Amendment started to mobilize at the federal level in the 1930s. It came during the New Deal, when the federal government was growing rapidly. Two laws enacted during this period, the National Firearms Act of 1934 and the Federal Firearms Act of 1938, established the first federal gun controls. While most of these regulations were uncontroversial by current standards (such as licensing gun dealers and regulating possession of machine guns), they introduced the concept of national regulation of firearms.
It was also during this time President Franklin Roosevelt appointed a number of liberals to the United States Supreme Court. Starting in 1937, the high court began moving in a liberal direction, and by the 1960s had become a court favoring full judicial activism, a judicial philosophy that has threatened our Second Amendment rights ever since.
During this period, anti-Second Amendment politicians began testing the waters on gun control. The highest-ranking official to do this was FDR's anti-gun attorney general, Homer Cummings. Attorney General Cummings started planning for federal gun control measures such as a national registry in the hands of the central government for guns and gun owners.
But then World War II broke out, and Germany and Japan invaded their neighbors. The American people were reminded how important it is to have a firearm handy when you need one. Cummings' early attempts to regulate guns and gun owners suddenly became unpopular. Gun control advocates lowered their voices until a more opportune time.
Most American leaders in both political parties were pro-gun. In fact, Democratic presidents Harry Truman and John F. Kennedy were NRA members. Gun control advocates were always present in policy debates, but did not have much political clout.
In the 1960s, gun control came back with a vengeance. Modern liberalism became the dominant political philosophy in this country. And after the deaths of JFK, Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr., an all-out national push for gun control was launched.
This period in the late 1960s was the beginning of significant gun control in America. Liberal activist judges, led by the Warren Court, enacted a widespread liberal agenda. American society was being secularized. President Johnson was forcing a hard-left agenda through the Great Society. And the Vietnam War was becoming increasingly unpopular. It was against that backdrop the left finally launched an open, concerted effort to implement national gun control.
And that's what we'll talk about next week, remembering that if we ignore the lessons that history offers us, our children will pay the price with their freedom.

Police News
A Toccoa woman faces a charge from authorities after a reported theft at a local store.
According to Stephens County Sheriff Randy Shirley, deputies with his office responded to Fred's on Big A Road late Saturday afternoon in reference to a theft report.
The victim says as she exited the store, she left her purse in the buggy and it was stolen.
Shirley says that deputies viewed the video footage from the store and identified a suspect.
The sheriff identifies that suspect as 30-year-old Fellica Nicole Davis of Toccoa.
He says Davis was arrested and charged with theft of lost or mislaid property and deputies recovered all of the property.
Elsewhere, the Toccoa Police Department says it made nine arrests during a series of safety checks and concentrated patrols last Friday.
According to the police department, it also issued nine traffic citations and arrested three people for outstanding warrants during what it dubbed "Operation Spring Break."
Police say that officers from the department's patrol division, criminal investigations division, SORT Team, and K-9 unit participated.
The department says it plans to conduct similar operations in the future.

Dual fuel pumps
While building my second motor I thought I would build the fuel system to handle the twin turbos at some higher boost levels. My previous set up ran 6 psi of boost, stock fuel pump and a Magnavolt. The idea of relying on a fuel pump booster had me nervous. The route I took this time was two Walbro 255 HP pumps. The first one is the Racetronix FP008 made for the V with a hot wire kit for wiring. Which I was disappointed in because it is just a GSS342 with the pressure hose pre-installed on it. The fuel sock was a universal one that I couldn't use, so I had to reuse the original sock (no big deal, only had 22K miles on the car). The second pump is a GSS342 pump mounted to the second sending unit with a small bracket that I fabbed up. I will wire this pump to a hobbs switch set to about 2 psi, so this pump will run only while under boost condtions.
I know someone on here has done this before, but had to send their tank out to have it modified and it was expensive.
Total cost (not including my labor) was $357.XX for parts and shipping from Racetronix. Probably another $100-$130 for braided line, fittings and misc.
Here's a link to some pics of the install...........

Greg's both a colleague and a good friend. I respect him a lot. The fact that he is also a site sponsor and a reputation of taking good care
of my Bimmerfest members, well, I can't argue with that!

I've never really been sure what .357SIG does (from a defensive perspective) that can't be done with .40S&W. Nothing wrong with the .357, of course, but I can't really see why it was invented when the .40 was already there to provide more power in 9mm-cycle guns.
But if you like it, hey, have at it!

Xee is an streamlined and convenient image viewer and browser. It is similar to Mac OS X's Preview.app, but lets you easily browse the entire contents of folders and archives, move and copy image files quickly, and supports many more image formats.
Download Trial Version Buy License
It is also available on the Mac App Store, but the sandboxing imposed on App Store apps makes more limited than the version available for direct download about. Getting the App Store version is not recommended.
(Limitations include: Xee³ has to ask for permission for browsing files in folders, and setting Xee³ as the default image viewer from within the app does not work. Instead, you have to do so manually using the Finder's Get Info option.)
The trial version can also be activated from inside the program. Just download the trial version and follow the instructions shown.
