text:
There were a group of between 20 and 30 people on the shore. They were attempting to encourage eight or so cattle into the surf, waving their arms and shouting, but never touching them. A little way off stood three figures dressed in white, impassive, apparently disengaged. A silver, torpedo-shaped executive jet passed silently across the brilliant blue sky. The cattle edged hesitantly out to where the massive waves broke over them, and then they lost their resolve, and swung round and back to the shallows water. The figures guiding them headed them off, and again directed them out into the deeper water. Again the formation of cattle broke under the onslaught of the waves, and again they were headed off. This pattern was repeated for several hours.
The beach had been invaded by several thousand Xhosas on New Year's Day for their annual contact with the sea. It had been a day of massive drinking and partying. Two people had drowned. The body of one had not been recovered. His spirit could not rest unless the body was discovered or a dark ox voluntarily gave itself in exchange for the dead man. That was what the ritual on the beach was all about. A single bullock was being encouraged to drown itself in the sea so that the spirit of the dead man could return to his family and to rest. If the exchange was successful, the family would see a plume of smoke rise up out of the sea, and drift shoreward. The three figures in white were witch doctors in charge of the ritual. Their services came with a money-back guarantee.
Clearly the bullock in question was not ready for the exchange. The animals were finally herded into a lorry and taken away, and the family party retired to a large army tent along with the three figures in white. The next day, the same events were repeated. From a hill above the beach, I watched the cattle rearing up as the waves hit them. It seemed as if they would be at it for some hours, as they had been the day before. I went to have some breakfast and pack. We were leaving later that morning. When I returned to my watching post 20 minutes or so later, the cattle were being herded back into the lorry, the tent was being dismantled, people were getting back into their cars and driving off.
Through the binoculars I looked very carefully. I could not see the black bullock anywhere. I counted. The small herd was one short. I scanned the sea. There was no brown carcass floating anywhere. Presently the lorry carrying the cattle came roaring and snorting up the hill, turned below me, and disappeared back along the main street of Hamburg. Clearly this is not the Hamburg of the Eder estuary, of freezing sleet, red lights and the honking of parking mega-tankers. This Hamburg is to be found on the coast of the Ciskei in South Africa, between East London and Port Elizabeth.
It is a small place, less of a town than a rambling association of single- or double-storey houses. It has a general store, Esimbolela, run by a formidable matriarch, Mrs May, whose shrewd eyes dance behind her glasses. Esimbolela, sadly, has abandoned one of the great advertising slogans painted on one of its walls - "Hole in the Wall for Fresh" - for a vast and handsomely-coloured sign bearing the more prosaic legend "Fresh Food and Fresh Goods".
Mrs May's husband owns the butcher's shop just up the road, and at the far end of the short main street is the Oyster Lodge, which caters to the holiday visitors who are, at present, blissfully few. Apart from the holiday bungalows, the two jetties and the smattering of river craft, that is Hamburg. Such single simplicity is a rare pleasure anywhere in the world these days. In South Africa, where many desirable seaside sites have disappeared beneath the march of developers, estate agents and marine pleasure seekers, it is a unique haven.
Part of the charm of the place is that it has not changed in 30 or 40 years. When the apartheid-driven governments of South Africa were set on their absurd policy of setting up "independent" satellite states back in the 50s, one of the states they chose to create was the Ciskei. As a consequence, whites were not allowed to own property within their borders. So most of the best houses were co-opted by corrupt members of the government in Bishu, and the rest went to wrack, if not ruin.
Towards the end of the apartheid era, a mysterious Sicilian with a criminal record, recognising the potential of the place, attempted to strike a deal with the ruler of the Ciskei, to buy up the entire 80km of pristine coastline between East London and Port Elizabeth, with a view to turning the whole lot into a kind of Sun City by the Sea, packed with hotels and casinos, with Hamburg in pride of place. It was only a curious alliance of the town council and the youth wing of the local ANC - the surrounding area is Xhosa heartland, and so ANC to a man and a woman - which saw off semi-legal manoeuvres, intimidation, violence, and even the arrival of "government" troops to occupy the council buildings, and kept Hamburg from a fate worse than neglect. Then, with the dismantling of the apartheid structures, the Ciskei returned to greater South Africa, and, cautiously, white and black holidaymakers returned to Hamburg.
Thanks in part to the 15km of dirt road by which Hamburg is joined to the N6 main road between Port Elizabeth and East London, and so to the outside world, they have not returned in huge numbers. The road rolls its dusty way past a sequence of Xhosa farming communities with their bleached-out blue, pink, green or cream painted houses, some round and thatched, some rectangular and topped with corrugated iron painted a different colour, set among the curving hills, of the same shape and gradient as the Sussex Downs. Cattle and goats are part of the natural hazards of the road, rambling with little concern and less speed, across the path of the infrequent vehicles.
After about 12km, the road catches up with the river, dipping down to the flat, fertile alluvial floor of the valley. Here, you come across the first houses that clearly owe more to the requirements of holidaymakers than they do to traditional Xhosa architecture. The road becomes tarred just before it reaches the Esimbolela store, and remains so as it swings temporarily away from the course of the river, to climb the hill above the mouth, splits to lead one way to other holiday houses further up the hill, and the other way down to the beach. Beach, beaches, 40km of them, spread either side of the mouth, pale golden sand like unrefined caster sugar, a kilometre deep in some places, swept into broad-breasted dunes held in check by a dense band of indigenous bush as they mount up the coastal hill.
Here and there, the curve of the beach is broken by fingers of black rock, hiding pools where you will find octopus, mussels, oysters, shrimps, and a curious giant winkle called an oricrickle. Beyond the beach and the rock pools is the sea, the Indian Ocean, blue, clear, thousands of miles of it, with nothing between you and Antarctica. And if, on this 40km you find a dozen people sharing your surf, fishing from your rocks, delving into your pools, you will think it crowded, and feel irritable at the invasion.
Inevitably this will change. It is impossible to believe, in these days of tourist imperialism, that Hamburg will cease to be the town still, essentially serving the local Xhosa farming communities, and coping with the small seasonal invasion of fishermen and holidaymakers.
At the moment, fishermen outnumber non-fishermen, and not surprisingly. As Edward Horne wrote in Fisherman's Eldorado in 1958, "There are few more delectable experiences than that of playing and beating heavy fish on suitable tackle in sylvan surroundings". If you can't fish the river, you can fish in the sea, and if you can't fish in the sea, you can fish the river; and usually you can fish both, for kob or kabeljou, a brilliantly silvery predator that grows up to 80kg, for spotted grunter and leerfiske, for the great, black musselcracker, supercilious Red Roman and coral red carpenter. Then there are the sharks. Well, being the Indian Ocean, it is not surprising that there are sharks. In fact I saw three representatives of the ragged toothed variety weighing 80kg, 100kg and 130kg respectively, being landed on the rocks just beside the main swimming beach. Actually, the largest was landed on the beach, although it had been hooked off the rocks. And there hasn't been a shark attack or even a nibble of a human since the 1920s.
It has to be said that if you don't want to fish, swim, surf, delve among the rock pools, play beach cricket, watch birds, potter up river, walk among the hills, play liar dice, darts or pool, eat, sleep, read and drink, then there isn't a whole lot to do in Hamburg. But then lack of choice imposes its own rhythm and discipline. It's the rhythm of weather and tides, of the irrepressible surge and fall of the surf on the beach, and of those startling, hallucinogenic African sunsets, which turn the seisal and blue gum trees into the blackest of silhouettes on the hill crests, and the Keiskama River to a broad band of molten gold moving smoothly down to the sea.

I went through the car wash a few weeks ago and my air bag light came on. Nothing happened, no dents, bumps or bruises. I was in the vehicle when it went through.
I have disconnected the battery for an hour or so and that did not work. I am unable to find anything other than "take it to the dealer". There has to be a way to reset this damn thing other than to pay the dealer a $120 to plug it in hit 2 buttons and then drive it out. And I am sure they will have it for 2 days before they tell me they can't find anything wrong.
How do I fix this?

Welcome from Florence, SC.
A full-size auto like a 1911 or XDM does have challenges to concealment. However, please don't let that stop you from getting your CWP. (I went through with my XDM 40.)
Wearing a pair of oversize pants and bigger shirt is the first idea you need to get used to.
You will also need a good "Gun worthy" belt and a IWB holster that you can cant forward. I use either a "Crossbreed Supertuck" IWB holster or a "Smartcarry" deep concealment holster that tucks in the front. Both of these are good holsters. The "Supertuck" as the edge in quick accessibility and the "Smartcarry" offers the ultimate in concealability.
I hope this will help you.

2006 pontiac g6 $7000 or trade 4x4 truck
Up for sale is my 2006 pontiac g6. The car is in excelent mechanical and cosmetic condition. The car shows hardly no use in the leather. Drivers side seat is heated as well. I am the 2nd owner of this car. It currently has 165,5xx on it. I change the oil with mobile 1 fully synthetic oil every 2,500-3,000 miles. The car is adult owned, garage kept, and has a clean title. Recently, I replaced both, front and back brake pads (golds) and rotors. The right passenger side had a tinkin wheel bearing replace. When GM manufactored these cars they installed crappy rack n pinions, so i had that swapped out with a new one as well. less than 6,000 on all 4 tires. If you are looking for a great strong running car as your daily driver this will work in your favor! the g6 hasnt failed me. on gas milleage. I get upwards to 28-30mpg highway. The car is the GT so it has the 3.5L V6 in it. if you have any questions i will be able to answer all of them. feel free to contact me via email since its paired to my phone ill be responding back quickly,
Thanks, have a great day

When Kelly Wins Ten…
By Sal Masekela
Ten. It is the perfect number. It is the completeness of order. The Ten Commandments. Nothing else is needed. How many violin sonatas did Beethoven write? Ten. Look at her—ten. No, really look at her. She's a ten! There you go … you can't turn your eyes away from her can you? No, you can't. She is the hottest chick on the block, no discussion necessary. So hot that you'll never get her and you're okay with it. Because to call her yours requires catlike cunning, damn determination, f—kin' focus, Delta Force discipline, selfish sacrifice, demented desire, dump-truck durability, rubbery resilience, the convulsive need to compete, and most importantly, ability. You do not have ability. You are confusing ability with potential. Your dog has potential. Ability is the power to act. No one man should have all that power. The ability to hate him is too easy. Until he get's her. The ten. When he gets her, you loved him all along.
Kelly Slater has that power. He's had that power. For twenty years he's flexed his mighty bangstick in ways that defy simple logic. He's earned the right to not only be called the greatest surfer but quite possibly the greatest athlete that ever roamed this blue and green planet. Michael Jordan got six, went for seven, forced us to watch him reverse Benjamin Button in a Wizards uniform. Ugly. Lance Armstrong got seven, but when he went for eight, he then left more skin on the streets of France than a 500-pound man after aggressive liposuction. They could not complete the circle, could not woo her. Ten. As a result, we giddily give each an asterisk, next to which reads, "Great, but human after all. Yeah!"
Not this time, my dudes, bros, and ladies who love them. We underestimated Jimmy Slade's ability. His power to act. Kelly Slater is going to get her. Ten. And due to the meganess of her sexy ten, the whole world—well beyond the one that actually rides waves—is lining up to testify. Lining up to say, "Really Kelly, we loved you all along." What will it look like? Let's set the bar high.
1. Obama. In a power move sure to stun the far right whilst shoring up the "Shred Or Die" vote in 2012, the President of the United States will return to his native Hawaii to crown Kelly Slater the Ten Time World Champion Of The Universe. Boom.
2. Oprah. She is on the phone with Ellen as we speak telling her to suck it. "Oprah Live From Cocoa Beach … "
3. ASP Logo. A silhouette of Kelly's death hack from the Lowers Hurley Pro is the new ASP Logo. Kelly Slater is competitive surfing. Despite protests from purists, The Duke gives a thumbs up from the grave in the form of a double rainbow.
4. Bronze Statue. Magic, Gretzky, Ted Williams, Jordan, hell, Rocky has one and he's not even real. Therefore Kelly gets ten. Spread 'em out around the world at all the waves he clearly dominates. Sebastian Inlet of course, Pipe, Lowers, Jeffrey's Bay, on the reef at Cloudbreak, Lance's Right, Chopes, Snapper just to piss off the Ozzies, Rincon (next to and smaller than Curren's of course), and finally Cardiff. What better way to remedy the Cardiff Kook debacle than to replace him with Slate dog? BOOM!
5. Airport. Yes, airport. Coastal cities the world over will bid on the exclusive naming rights to Kelly Slater International (insert your city's name here) Airport.
6. Vanity License Plate. This one is personal. It's a way for Kelly to say a simple thank you to all the legions of fans the world over who have had his back the last twenty years. It simply reads: 10BIATCH.
7. Signature Drink. Arnold Palmer's got one and all he did was win eighteen majors. Kelly's won 43 World Tour events. Get this man a drink! Tequila, splash of soda water, pinch of lime. Bet ya can't drink ten.
8. Ring. Baseball, hockey, basketball, football. Win a World Championship, get a ring. (Even if you didn't play!) A ring you can walk into a bar, strip club, or bank with and people give you stuff. From here on out, you win the surfing World Championship, you get a ring. An obnoxious, diamond-encrusted, platinum, gold, copper, silver, titanium-blended power ring. Kelly's of course has two massive rubies carved into the number "10."
9. Honorary Doctorate. Over the course of the last twenty years, the Slates has done more than bash lips, pull in, and become a scratch golfer. He's read more books than you did in college, educated himself in depth as to how the world works on a multitude of levels, and most importantly he's formulated an opinion. Who's it gonna be? Florida, UCSB, Ivy League? You get him a cap, gown, and diploma, he'll send your admissions requests to another solar system.
10. Science. Last but not least is science. We need to know the science of this dude to make the world a better place. The world's leading scientists will gather on the Indies 4 for four weeks. Biomechanics, cardiovascular, physiological, psychological, quantum physics. You name it, they will study it as it relates to the keeper of the ten. Modern science advances light years and the human race experiences the first real paradigm shift of the 21st century.—Sal Masekela

Some say Bronson has the best water in the state.
And Otter Creek, just a dozen or so miles west with its own water supply tainted, would like its neighbor to share.
Joe Mittauer of the engineering firm Mittauer and Associates Inc. addressed the Bronson council Monday night about a plan Otter Creek is proposing that involves piping up to 108,000 gallons of water per day from Bronson's pristine water supply.

This is a discussion on defense carry shooting help within the Defensive Carry & Tactical Training forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I know you don't aim and shoot when you are protecting your life in a spur of a moment. i know there are 4day schools ...
I know you don't aim and shoot when you are protecting your life in a spur of a moment. i know there are 4day schools i can go to and this is impossible for me. so the next best thing is videos or books that i can purchase. Any suggestions will be appreciated

If you don't aim how do you know where your bullet is going?
Actually, people often do "aim & shoot" in the heat of the moment. I've read many stories where the LEO can remember seeing the front sight of their pistol with such clarity that they could see the flaws in the grooves.
Point-shooting is a good skill to have, and I can do it properly some of the time. Granted a point-shoot is better than none, but if I have the split second to put the front sight on them, I will.
Jerry Miculek has some really helpful "how to" online videos out there. I was able to refine my snubby skills from one of them.

I certainly aim before I shoot.
"I'm set up to play a game right now. However, I doubt most people would want to get into a gun fight with me."

You need to get into the woods and pound away at some paint cans. Practice shooting on the move. Not just forwards or backwards. Rolling gets you extra points.
Don"t let stupid be your skill set....

Harryball's list is good and you can add Tactical Response to the list. There is a longer list in another area of this web site. There are schools that have 2 day courses and travel around the country. Go get on some of their websites and look at their schedules. I have done 4 2 day schools and 1 1 day course in the last 3 years. I drove to the classes early the day of and only had one night in a hotel.

Try taping off both your front and rear sights - use masking tape: you may need to pull off your first try and re-attempt to stick the tape to the sights (rinse and repeat as-necessary) based on how greased or dirty your gun is.
Attempt to "blow through" your sights. Hard-focus on the target, not your gun.
You will most likely, at the beginning, need to adjust your grip as well as presentation/stance.
Start at 3 yards or whatever feels comfortable for you, do it as a Bill drill, and walk back your distance as you gain proficiency. Start with the gun already on-target, then go to whatever "ready" position you usually use, then go to the holster.
This isn't "point shooting," but rather, is "instinctive shooting." Usually, it's a drill designed to get the shooter to focus on the trigger technique, grip, and presentation/stance - but it also well-simulates what happens when your eyes tunnel to that biological "threat-to-infinity" state, under critical stress (I do not completely disagree with WHEC624's reply, and do indeed also believe in the after-action-reports of individuals who stated that they were able to see their front sights with extreme clarity under critical stress, however, I believe that such instances are the exception rather than the norm due to the biological reaction of our brain/eyes to such events - my belief is that these individuals were either a true biological exception or, alternatively, they have been conditioned to such stresses: i.e. their training kicked in - stress inoculation). I feel that this drill is a viable "bridge" for many beginning shooters to start towards point-shooting, and what's more, also helps further ingrain some of the fundamentals.
My personal belief is that there's a time for sighted fire (the semi-unconscious "flash sight picture," for me, is lumped-in, here, too) - and that there's also a time and place for point-shooting.
With point shooting you are "aiming" in a sense you are simply doing it by indexing your body position to align it with the target.
As has been stated if possible you would always like to use your sights the way I was trained and train others today is to begin with indexing to the target and begin firing all the while raising the weapon or "fighting your way to the sights". Obviously distance from the target will dicate how far you bring the weapon up.
As Tricolordad stated practice shooting and moving to the rear and back also side to side. Distance and movement is always your friend in times of trouble. Get the fundementals down first then move up to the shooting and moving.
The videos listed are good and I would add our own DRM to the list. I watched some of his stuff while home and he teaches this specifically.

"A first rate man with a third rate gun is far better than the other way around". The gun is a tool, you are the craftsman that makes it work. There are those who say "if I had to do it, I could" yet they never go out and train to do it. Don't let stupid be your mindset. Harryball 2013
The Type of target acquisition you use in a fast SD situation is different.
Acquiring center mass with just front site and your grip on the weapon just takes time and some rounds down range. Your grip and how it is lined up with your fore arm is the key to hit center mass every time with a quick short range shot or group of shots.
Long before you spend cash putting round on paper work on your grip, until you get that down you will be all over the place one time you on the next off.
Old way It was put to me extend your arm point your finder it will be right on you have been doing this sense you were a child. You can learn to do the same thing with your hand gun.
Some find using a laser in the house is great practice.
The two Whoppo posted are great and you don't have to pay a lot.
I like the laserlyte laser trainers, you can learn point and shoot from a holster and or your bed , couch and any other place. they are about 85 buck and so far have made a big improvement on my draw and shoot skills because it shoots a beam of light at what you are aiming at do it is not a guess if you would have hit it'
I set a timer and when it goes off I shoot at a tee shirt hanging in one of the rooms and get my woman to do it then you have to search it out. This gives you a chance to maneuver around and see what works in what areas like rounding corners and dealing with "NO" shoot zones (places where someone one the other side of the wall can get hurt)

This article originally appeared in the April 2008 edition of Drum Corps World (Volume 37, Number 1).
The 2007 summer drum corps season was off to a good start for my wife Barbara and me. In June, I was the announcer/emcee for the DCA season opener in Wildwood, NJ, and then at the DCI show in Westminster, MD.
Barbara was there at both shows and we had a great time, getting a chance to see several of the top DCA and DCI corps in action, and looking forward to seeing many more corps as the summer wore on.
We had a lot of drum corps on our plate for July and August. The heart of our DCA schedule was coming up, with shows in towns ranging from Clifton, NJ, to Nashville, TN, and, of course, our big weekend was ahead, at the DCA Championship in Rochester, NY, over Labor Day weekend.
Everything changed in the early morning hours of Wednesday, July 11. I arrived home from my part-time job at about 1:30 that morning to find Barbara lying on the floor next to our bed, unable to speak coherently and struggling to sit up.
Her entire left side was paralyzed. I quickly called 911, the paramedics arrived within minutes, and off we went to a local hospital. I was near panic.
My adrenalin was pumping, with questions and worst-case scenarios racing through my mind. My God, what had happened to Barbara? Will she survive? What happens next?
The next several hours were rough, to say the least. The emergency room doctors told me Barbara most likely had suffered a hemorrhagic stroke, which is a stroke that involves bleeding in the brain. The doctors said the damage was "significant" and they were not yet able to stop the bleeding.
If they could not stop the blood from flowing into her brain tissue, they said, Barbara most likely would not make it through the day.
To make a long story short, the doctors eventually were able to stop the bleeding and then a neurosurgeon operated on Barbara's brain to drain the blood, which had clotted and was causing severe pressure on her brain. I could finally exhale; she was going to live.
For the first eight days after her surgery, Barbara was unable to talk or open her eyes. She was able to move only her right hand and arm, to acknowledge that someone was in the room with her.
Since then, she has been through several stages of rehabilitation, undergoing therapy aimed at restoring her left side, speech and brain functions.
She's been home since late November and as of right now she's continuing her therapy on an outpatient basis at a local hospital/rehab center. She is receiving excellent care; we are very fortunate to live in the Baltimore area, where there are a lot of great hospitals and therapy facilities.
Our therapists and doctors have told us that Barbara's progress has been remarkable, considering the blow her brain received last July. She has regained use of most of her left leg and is now able to take some steps with the use of a cane and with assistance.
We anticipate that she eventually will regain full use of that leg and be able to walk again on her own. Her left arm has not yet come around, but is showing some small signs that it might be ready to come back to life at some point in the future.
Barbara's voice and speech are improving, as is her concentration and focus. She hopes to resume her career in the computer field sometime this summer.
We have experienced some very frustrating moments and days during this whole process; after all, Barbara is basically re-learning skills she had taken for granted for most of her life. But there also have been many "little victories" when she is able to perform a task or achieve a physical goal that was beyond her reach even a few days before.
Quite frankly, this entire journey has brought us closer together. We realize that after being married for 16 years, we had gotten perhaps a bit too comfortable; we sometimes forgot what was important to both of us.
Now, little things matter more to us. We cherish the time we have with each other, even if that time is spent simply sitting at home watching a movie or TV show together.
And yes, even though our schedule might not be as busy as in years past, we both plan to be back on the drum corps trail this summer!
If I have learned one lesson from this experience, it is that none of us should ever take anything for granted.
You never know when something or someone important will be taken away at a moment's notice.
You never know when life will change, perhaps forever.
This truly has been an unexpected journey for Barbara and me.

: 4 years and still clueless
My oldest daughter is 4 and has (I think) type 4 hair of some kind. It is fine but super, super thick and has only been trimmed once in her life. It looks absolutely beautiful when it is wet but kind of poofs out a lot when it dries. I honestly don't really mind it like that and neither does she but my husband throws a fit. At this point, I am putting it in braids and leaving it like that for too long. I am looking for other ideas. We have a party to go to this weekend and I would love to let her hair out. One of the big problems we have though is that she is very tender headed (as am I) so every time I comb her hair, it involves lots of tears and screaming. If I comb it with conditioner or something while she is in the tub, do I have to comb it again when she gets out? If we decide to let her hair out, how often should I be combing it? I really don't think I would be able or willing to comb it out without sticking her in the bathtub again.
Also, I am looking for suggestions on how to weigh it down a bit once it is dry. I don't think the hair itself is all that dry, I think it's just so fine and there's so much of it that it goes a little crazy.
And while I'm posting, any suggestions on what else I can do with it? I don't know how to do cornrows and don't know anywhere I can take her to get that done. When we have tried to put it just in a ponytail, it is so thick I can't keep it all combed out enough to pull it all back without getting lumps.
I really need to figure out something that works for us as she starts school next year and my 2 year old is looking like she is going to have the exact same hair.

But, comfort and hate dance in unison on this side of the door. It's the writhing, sickness that has plagued for a decade. It's every day that my mind says that life will never be pretty again. That it's always going to be sticky.
Sticky, like a fresh-coat of partially dried, blue paint.
I want God to open the door. To physically come down, scoop up my hurting body, and walk me through to safety. To plant me on His side of the door, where sickness doesn't live and tears don't stain faces. To tell me that I won't hurt anymore.
There is movement on the other side of the door.
People moving with ease through this life.
How do you forget pain that is so tangible? So in your face every day? The type of pain that strangles and chokes out life?
You don't.
You can't.
You run your fingers down the streaked, blue paint and you wait. You wait for Christ to come and dry the streaks from your cheeks.
On this side of the door, miracles still happen.
On this side of the door, perseverance blossoms into peace in the strangest ways.
On this side of the door, Jesus comes down, scoops up our hurting bodies, and walks with us through the fire.

When we focus on our failures
I've been looking the other way. For months. At what point does a writer quit scribbling in journals? Quit tapping words into blank spaces? Even now, I can barely make these fingers move. I sat for ten minutes just waiting to open my online home. Why?
Somewhere along the way I told myself that this blog was an utter failure.
That no one was reading. That I was too busy. That the change I thought could take place in people's lives by seeing life in a different way, a way I hoped to show people through my writing, wasn't happening.
Ironically, this sticky place has occurred in the most interesting time of my life, when helping others write has actually become my career. A career I love.
For the longest time, I asked God if I was a writer.
"Do you really want me to write?"
"Will anyone even care about what I say?"
"Will they just see me or will they really see You?
After a while, I quit listening to His answer and answered for myself.
"No, no one is listening. No one cares. No, you are not a writer."
And for six months, I have actually been dream grieving. In the six months that I have taken off from writing, a piece of me withered. This morning, I decided to look up. And to pick up my hands and write. I wrote despite my feelings.
I wrote about a crazed pixie Senior who wanted to beat me up when I was a freshman in high school. I wrote about love never realized, and another never meant to be. I wrote about school dances and being a gosh darn Sasquatch as I watched everyone get a slow dance but me.
The point is, I wrote. As I wrote, my words blossomed. And this withered flower drank in a little piece of freedom. Freedom from the fear of failure and all its' thug friends.
When we focus on our failures, we freeze.

Perhaps, no war in the history of America has generated more controversy over the manner in which those who have fallen in battle are treated. The Bush administration imposed a blackout on showing dead soldiers and even refused to allow photographs of returning caskets of those who died in the fighting. For some reason, those who have died are treated non-people after they are dead. Several communities have imposed laws prohibiting protests at the funerals of those who died, particularly since some religious sects have staged bizarre protests which include demonizing the fallen claiming they died because God punished them for defending a society which allows homosexuality.
A Kansas judge has ruled anyone can protest at a funeral and just because there are strange ideas society must allow them to surface. Death be not proud in a land which doesn't want to see or hear from the dead.

David Cook wrote about 80 songs to get the 12 he used for This Loud Morning. He wrote one of the tunes that didn't make the cut with Steven Van Zandt, guitarist for Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.
"It was funny, hearing him talk about Darkness on the Edge of Town and how they recorded, like, 70 songs," David says. "I was like, 'We didn't record 80, but we have 80.' And Steven was like, 'That's a ton of songs.'"
David and Van Zandt met on the 2008 American Idols Live! tour, and the guitarist also attended David's 2009 concert at New York's Nokia Theater. David says Van Zandt suggested writing together.
"I was floored," David says. "That was like going to class. I felt nervous the way I felt nervous the first day I went to high school: 'Okay, don't do anything to stand out the wrong way. Be cool. Blend in.'"
David describes the resulting song as "a little ballad-y, which surprised me. I think we set out to write an uptempo, rabble-rousing song and ended up with this kind of cool ballad."
David says he doesn't know what the song's eventual fate will be. However, Springsteen hung onto his extra songs from the 1977-78 Darkness on the Edge of Town sessions for decades, releasing some of them on his 1998 box set, Tracks, then issuing two CDs' worth last year as The Promise.
In light of that, David says: "It was a conscious thing. "I'm angling toward the box set 30 years from now."
Nashville-based Brian Mansfield began writing about music for USA TODAY in 1997 and took over Idol Chatter just before the start of Season 8. He co-authored Make Me a Star: Industry Insiders Reveal How to Make It in Music, and while he has never auditioned for American Idol, he did sing Boot Scootin' Boogie at Disney World's American Idol Experience the day the attraction opened (he lost).

Its an "OPEN SOURCE" World! Watch the GROWTH at 50+% per year!!! Compare our transcode costs per channel!
We commercialize Open Source Software. RED HAT, SUSE, UBUNTU are changing the world!! HELP US TRANSFORM THE Streaming INDUSTRY FROM PROPRIETARY HARDWARE and SOFTWARE to OPEN STANDARD!! Open Standards means open software like LINUX® and open hardware based on Intel® processors. We however RUGGEDIZE the open source code base. Closed hardware to us is DSP, GPU, and FPGA based. We also offer complete platform scaling from tiny to large Multi Blade Server architecture. We offer great savings to organizations who wish to manage their $$$.
Our OPEN Technology Strategy: Intel® single or multi arrays of 4, 6, 8, and 14 core XEON® processors arranged in single or 48 CORE blade type arrangements and combined with our "Highly Optimized Embedded Linux®" that does NOT reside on a Hard Drive. Our latest Dual Motherboard 1 RU BRUTUS V server incorporates 48 CORES. It competes well within space, power, and throughput with GPU's... We use Intel® Xeon® processors as our basic "accelerators" in place of DSP's and GPU's. NO GPU's needed!! We optimize the available transcode engines so that they use Intel's multi core processors extremely efficiently. We also make the LINUX UBUNTU Kernel extra robust using proprietary reentrant code that is RELIABLE...
Many people find that "open source" results in more efficient and more rapid code development. Basically this paradigm motivates developers to write good code since others may see it. Open source communities also create better tools and test cases. Everything can be revised and rearranged rapidly including the test suites. We end up with RUGGEDIZED and thoroughly tested open source based code. We won't just take but do give back code to the open source community often.
» Benefits of OPEN Hardware!
» Benefits of UBUNTU!
» Linux® vs Windows®
» Validation of our Strategy
» INTEL® CPU Benchmarks
» IBM and UNIX vs LINUX®
» Payback Period for Switching to H.265
We aim to be UNIQUE in the streaming market in that ALL our appliances are all Simultaneous MULTI STREAMERS. The CPU's we use allow us to make more than one stream. That is why we call this product line "MULTIStreamer". We can also make copies at low CPU overhead with our MULTISTREAM technology. Some of our competitors support (encode or transcode) just 1 stream. ALL our products transcode 1 to 200+ streams with different resolutions from 1 source. This allows you to generate high, medium, and low bit rate streams from your single input. When you use our "BRUTUS unit" we support 800+ streams across 10RU… If you elect to support 3 streams (High Med and Low bit rates) we can push 150 different streams with H/L outputs… All with different resolutions, bit rates, protocols, and wrappers. Our OS and application are provided on a non rotating flash drive, No HD to crash!! We now offer stream persistence and Catch UP TV via our LIVE or ANYTIME and SegmentKeeper technology.
ATLAS Server IP/IP: TELCO™
We offer Real Time, Multiple Simultaneous Streams, Multiresolution, Multichannel, Multiprotocol, Multiwrapper, Multi Container Streaming for HLS, RTMP, HTML, HTTP, and Smooth Streaming.

Retail innovation cycles last approximately 20 years. As we take a look at retail history, this cycle becomes self-evident. From the general store to department stores to discount stores and so forth, each variety has their day in the sun as the leading channel for most purchases. Today, we're lucky enough to be living within two powerful cycles simultaneously. But the fun will soon come to an end.
In early December, I was engaged on my annual "slash & grab" Christmas shopping excursion. It's the one day of the year where I aggressively visit a variety of stores and web sites to take care of my giving list for the season.
One of the items on my list was cordless headphones for our stereo. I went to Best Buy and found a pair of Sony headphones. The price was $99. That felt really high to me. With my smartphone, I scanned the UPC on the box and quickly found that Amazon.com sold the exact same item for $59. To add to my bonanza, no sales tax would be added to my online purchase and as an Amazon Prime member, shipping would be free. So in effect the price difference was actually $110 vs $59. No contest. The sad reality was that without putting them on my head in the store or being able to carefully study the box, I might not have bought them at all.
Of course, my behavior has a new name within retail circles -- showrooming. Now, I recognize that Best Buy was willing to match the online price at the store. And I wish I had taken this path to see how it worked for me. But this effort on their part doesn't answer the larger question.
The larger question being…how long can this continue?
My ability to visit well-apportioned, visibly-appealing showrooms while testing, sampling, and otherwise evaluating products in a comfortable environment, then quickly touch a few buttons on my iPhone to purchase the items I want from the cheapest option my phone can find demonstrates true retail bliss for the consumer.
Clearly both e-commerce and brick-and-mortar infrastructures can't continue like this forever. One can't operate long term at a loss while the other attempts to maximize its margins.
In retail, at least since World War II, we've seen 20-year cycles of innovation. The first twenty years after the war saw huge growth in department stores and chain store brands. The 70's and 80's saw the rise of discount merchandising. From 1990 – 2010, the big box retailers have ruled the merchandise universe. Of course, this phenomenon has overlapped with the Internet and e-commerce -- creating what I call the Ultimate Age of Retail.
These two systems have both captured our imagination and our wallets. But very soon, both systems will need to find their respective niches. As product lines like music, software, and movies cease being available in a physical store, neither will the UPS man deliver 50-pound bags of dog food to your door. These are the obvious examples. But expect to see many other product lines become primarily purchased in a more standard common-sense way, even as the number of ways we purchase products multiplies.
I know all of industry hype surrounding the power of the consumer and how they will each dictate individually how they want to purchase products and services. Much of this hype comes from me! But at the end of day, economics and the power of the dollar ultimately win out --pushing consumers to the most efficient approach.
Allow me to provide a certain future state scenario. Once ninety percent of shoppers own and use a smartphone, will retailers continue spend significant capital to build 20-plus cash registers at a venue to expedite shopper purchases? What if the remaining ten percent of shoppers want to check out the old fashion way? How will retailers accommodate them? At what point will this accommodation no longer be supported? Will shoppers need to download a retailer's specific smartphone application in order to transact purchases? What if they have no desire to do this? Will retailers basically force all of their shoppers to become "members" to buy their goods?
I'm not sure what the future holds. What I do know is that the retailing industry is entering into a transformation similar to the one that the music and newspaper industries have been experiencing over the past ten years.
Expect to see significant changes in the non-sustainable golden age of retail starting about 2016, which is approximately 20 years after e-commerce became a valid option for consumers.
By this time, the retail industry (that includes both online and brick & mortar) will find the right approaches in selling and supporting each relevant category. Until then, enjoy that showroom.

or how do you bleed it
where the bleed nipples on these ??
or how do you bleed it
take cap of expansion tank and run engine for a few minutes
on warm cold setting ?
heaters on full and let it run. with cap off
no bleeding on these systems
on cold or warm and for how long ?
on warm until it warms up will be fine, 5-10 mins
squeeze your pipes until your arms hurt too. that helps a wee bit
if you like, but it should circulate enough after 10 mins to get all the air out!
undo the bra and gently squeeze the nipples you may get some milk
Or do it properly and release the plug just behind the rad, I'll get a picture of where it is tomorrow I can't remember exactly and its too cold to go out now
i thought it was the colour on the bottle?
Put a Hoover on them if you get tired
What's the advantages of doing it, or rather the effects of not doing it?
lol nipples.
