Useful Tool
Sorry, but I'm not in the market for a Germ Guardian. Now if you have a JerkGuardian, that's another story.
Not that she asked for it, or even remotely wanted it, but after Danielle had broken her ankle, Phil declared that he'd be taking care of her until she got back on her feet again.
Truth be told, Danielle was pretty certain he hadn't paid his rent for awhile and just needed a place to hide out. And after only a couple hours, he was already complaining.
"Can't you just get that glass of water yourself? I'm still tired from getting you that blanket earlier."
Danielle hobbled as best as she could to the kitchen on her crutches, but when she reached for a glass in the cabinet, she stumbled, and it hit the ground and shattered.
"Oh, and since you're up, can you grab me a soda from the fridge?" yelled Phil from the couch.
Danielle couldn't take it anymore. "That is IT, Phil! Why are you even here? I didn't ask for your help, not that you're actually HELPING. Why don't you just leave? Seriously. GET OUT!"
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Danielle looked at the door and then looked at Phil. Phil looked back at Danielle and said, "Well. Are you gonna get that or what?"
"UGGGGGGHHHHHH!" screamed Danielle as she hobbled over to the door.
It was Craig. "Hey, look at you all up and about! I just thought I'd bring you this air purifier since you've been cooped up in here for … what is HE doing here?"
"Who, ME?" said Phil from the couch. "Who are YOU?"
"Phil, this is Craig. Craig this is …" said Danielle. But Craig interrupted her.
"I know who it is. That's your jerk ex-boyfriend. Or is he even an ex anymore?"
Phil jumped up off the couch. "Who are you calling jerk, you jerk?"
"Phil, knock it off. Craig …" Danielle started to say.
"You're the jerk, JERK!" said Craig.
"Are you guys even serious right now?" said Danielle.
Phil stepped forward and knocked the Germ Guardian out of Craig's hands. They stood nose-to-nose.
"Get out of my face!" said Craig.
"Make me, bro!" said Phil as he shoved Craig. Craig shoved back harder, and then Phil took a swing.
"Is this actually happening?" yelled Danielle. "Knock it off, you two!"
Phil was just about to take another swing when Danielle clubbed them both over the heads with one of her crutches. "Get. Out. Both of you. GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT!"
"Fine!," said Phil. "Have fun retrieving your wubbie, or whatever it is you call that disgusting, tattered blanket you've had since you were 3." He punched the door frame on his way out.
Craig hesitated for a minute as if he was about to apologize. But when he saw the disappointment on Danielle's face, he thought better of it.
"Well anyway, enjoy the fresh air. It has multi-level air cleaning system and a powerful UV-C light that kills bacteria and …"
"Craig," Danielle interrupted. "Just leave. Please."
Craig nodded and shut the door quietly behind him.
Danielle looked down at the mess the two boys had made during their scuffle and started to cry.

Hello everyone,
I just moved from Southern CA to Reno NV with a renewed passion for firearms. I have shot numerous times with various guns but dont personally own any YET :) I was browsing podcasts and came accross the GunCast and love it. Wish it was longer but I know how time is precious to everyone. I am not quite sure what my first purchase will be but I look forward to the gun shows. I like the beretta's but am also a fan of glocks and the USP. So who knows what Ill get first.
Anyway looks like there is a wealth of knowledge and I look froward to browsing the posts and giving my input when I can.

AAFP responds to proposed rule on 2013 Medicare physician fee schedule
On Aug. 22, 2012, the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) responded to the proposed rule on the 2013 Medicare physician fee schedule. As promised, I am sharing that response with you. Here are some of the highlights; the AAFP:
- Supports the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' (CMS) proposal to create a code for post-discharge transitional care management as a short-term payment strategy; however, the AAFP urges CMS to limit the use of the code to the patient's primary care physician,
- Supports CMS's intent to investigate potentially misvalued codes, especially in regard to the number and level of post-operative evaluation and management services assumed to be included in global surgical services,
- Urges CMS to not implement the Institute of Medicine recommendations pertaining to geographic practice cost indices, and instead asks that CMS refocus it's efforts on ensuring a properly distributed healthcare workforce that is meeting the demands of a growing beneficiary population,
- Agrees with the proposal to add coverage of ''additional preventive services'' and supports the proposal to add them to the list of Medicare telehealth services for 2013; however, the AAFP questions several of the proposed payment amounts for these services,
- Supports the CMS proposal to create new criteria for being a successful electronic prescriber for groups of two to 24 eligible professionals,
- Strongly supports CMS's proposal to streamline the implementation of the Physician Quality Reporting System incentive and reporting programs within the context of the Medicare Shared Saving Program,
- Mostly supports the CMS proposal to begin applying the value-based payment modifier only to groups of 25 or more eligible providers in 2015, so the agency can begin learning how to properly fulfill the statutory requirements; however, the AAFP remains concerned with CMS's inability to specify the exact amount of the upward payment adjustment because of budget neutrality considerations,
- Fully supports the agency's proposal to begin Medicare Part B coverage of the Hepatitis B vaccine for high-risk groups, specifically persons with diabetes.
The full text of the AAFP response is available online.
The comment period for the proposed rule ends on Sep. 4, 2012. After that deadline, we will have to wait for the final rule to see what CMS decides to do on all of these issues. CMS is expected to release the final rule on the 2013 Medicare physician fee schedule on or around Nov. 1, 2012.

New study finds genetically engineered crops could play a role in sustainable agricultureJune 08, 2007
(Santa Barbara, California) - Genetically modified (GM) crops may contribute to increased productivity in sustainable agriculture, according to a groundbreaking study published in the June 8 issue of the journal Science. The study analyzes, for the first time, environmental impact data from field experiments all over the world, involving corn and cotton plants with a Bt gene inserted for its insecticidal properties. The research was conducted by scientists at the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS) at the University of California, Santa Barbara, The Nature Conservancy, and Santa Clara University. The study is accompanied by a searchable global database for agricultural and environmental scientists studying the effects of genetically engineered crops.
Biotechnology and genetic engineering are controversial because of concerns about risks to human health and biodiversity, but few analyses exist that reveal the actual effects genetically modified plants have on other non-modified species. In an analysis of 42 field experiments, scientists found that this particular modification, which causes the plant to produce an insecticide internally, can have an environmental benefit because large-scale insecticide spraying can be avoided. Organisms such as ladybird beetles, earthworms, and bees in locales with "Bt crops" fared better in field trials than those within locales treated with chemical insecticides.
"This is a groundbreaking study and the first of its kind to evaluate the current science surrounding genetically modified crops. The results are significant for how we think about technology and the future of sustainable agriculture," said Peter Kareiva, chief scientist of The Nature Conservancy.
According to lead author, Michele Marvier, of Santa Clara University, "We can now answer the question: Do Bt crops have effects on beneficial insects and worms" The answer is that it depends to a large degree upon the type of comparison one makes. When Bt crops are compared to crops sprayed with insecticides, the Bt crops come out looking quite good. But when Bt crops are compared to crops without insecticides, there are reductions of certain animal groups that warrant further investigation." What is clear is that the advantages or disadvantages of GM crops depend on the specific goals and vision for agroecosystems.
As NCEAS Director, Jim Reichman explains, "This important study by an interdisciplinary research team reveals how an in-depth analysis of large quantities of existing data from many individual experiments can provide a greater understanding of a complex issue. The project is enhanced by the creation of a public database, Nontarget Effects of Bt Crops, developed by NCEAS ecoinformatics expert, Jim Regetz, that will allow other scientists to conduct congruent analyses."

Broadband phone companies (VoIP) are popping up all over the place allowing consumers to save money on calls.
Many of these internet-based services are exempt from the 911 system. One of the most popular states in their terms of service that 911 dialing will be routed through the general telephone number for the local emergency service provider (which may not be answered outside business hours).
In addition, the caller's phone number and location does not appear if you do get a dispatcher. This should be fixed in some areas by year's end.
When shopping around make sure you ask if they provide complete 911 service, and be sure it works.

total effective length question
when calculating the total effective length for a branch, does the size of the fitting change the effective length? for instance, a fitting that transitions from a round duct, up 90 degress to a rectangle register has an effective length of 30. does that number change if the round duct is 6", 7", or 8"?
i assume not, because the whole point in doing this calculation is to determine the duct size. it just seems that if the duct were wider, the fitting would cause less resistance.
The transitions are calculated to be pretty much standardized.
They aren't actually, but close enough.
The PD changes if the radius changes.
And it will also change if you run above average FPM.
A larger size can reduce the resistance but then you will lower the velocity wich is why you are doing proper duct design to begin with. You want the proper cfm as well as the proper velocity.

circular saw rpm-is that the motor or blade rpm?
Circular saws have rpm rated on them, but I need to know if that is the blade or the motor? The project I am doing involves attaching a pulley to the motor and rpm's is absolutely important.
What are you attempting to do? It sounds rather dangerous. Most circular saws are direct drive so that the two are the same. In the case of a worm drive, the motor RPM will be listed on the motor and the shaft RPM listed seperately on the motor plate or saw body.
Please, PLEASE don't tell me that you are attempting a DIY table saw.
I would think that a circ saw motor RPM would be way to high to use for much other than a saw. Or maybe a fan. I would like to know what you are planing on making
with the blade taken off and saw housing mounted to bench, i am mounting a pulley to turn a alternator....alternator mid range rpm is 4500
Have you checked the alt. horsepower rating under load? It sounds as if you are assembling some Rube Goldberg contraption to accomplish........what?
I know the HP needed....I am testing alt's
Unless it's a worm drive, the motor and the shaft and the blade rotate at the same RPMs
I'm still wondering why? What are you trying to accomplish?
i guess we'll never know......
naah, i just found this thread when i was looking to build my own table saw from a circular saw and a few drywall screws to hold it to the table... just down the one side so it hangs there, you know.
kinda funny this never got resolved though.
Tho a really old post based on his screen name: IE Airpower, he should know that the rpm is the same as shaft speed, but increases dramatically as hou expand out to the "disc" that is rotating IE tip speeds on either props or saw blades.
I did this when I was younger and into car stereos, but not with a circular saw. I used a 110 motor and a high output alternator to make a power convertor to power my amps out of the car for testing. I used different sized pulleys till I got the rpms right for the alternator.
As far as the table saw from a circular saw I also built one of those before I could afford the real thing. I used my router to make a spot for the base plate to recess in the table and used some screws counter sunk in the plate to attach it. I just used a homemade fence so it was kinda a pain to adjust but worked.
I noticed the old post also, but wanted to share this. When you are asking about the "speed" of a circular saw blade versus the "speed" of the circular saw motor, I am thinking a hand held circular saw. The speed, or RPM, of the motor and the blade are the same. NOW, if you are talking about a table saw, with direct drive, where the blade is directly attached to the motor of the table saw, it's still the same, RPM for RPM. A blade driven by a motor/pulley attachment is different and we'll get to that. Here is your problem, to me: No one mentioned Surface Speed in Minutes vs. RPM. A whole new ball game here. IF, note the IF, your motor is turning say 1000 RPM, and you have a 10" blade, the area where the mandrel of the motor attaches to the blade is going to turn 1000RPM's as the motor all day long, and yes the outside of the blade will be turning 1000 RPM's also. BUT, if you measure the circumference of the blade, a 10" blade will be app. 31.7" in circumference, which means that the outside of this blade will travel 31.7" with each revolution. Therefore with 1000 RPM's you will have 31,700" or app. 2641.6 Surface Feet per Minute (SPM). So, I hope you see that if you get into belt drives with different pulley diameters you will get different SPM's as you change pulley diameters. Having worked with manufacturing alternators I would highly recommend that if you are going to build a "test stand" you stick to that 4500 RPM range FOR THE ALTERNATOR. IF you are using a circular saw to do this, I highly do not recommend this approach, get you a motor that can be bench mounted. I won't tell you that we tested our units at two different speeds, low and high and what those RPM's were, it will scare the hell out of you. Thanks, David

GREAT vet!
This very nice vet took great care of Goldie's sore paw. Wonderful, clean offices - reasonably priced. We were very pleased - the staff was wonderful. Not the traffic jam we've seen in other places.

Adam Brody Talks Rachel Bilson & Olivia Wilde Kissing Skills
He had the enviable position of getting to smooch some serious hotties on "The O.C." and Adam Brody has shared his opinion of his on-screen makeout partners.
During his interview on "Watch What Happens Live," Brody was hit with the question, "Who is the better kisser: Rachel Bilson or Olivia Wilde?"
And very matter-of-factly Adam replied, "I was dating Rachel at the time, so there were less barriers. So Rachel."
The next question was equally as saucy- "Who is the bigger MILF: Julie Cooper [Kelly Rowan] or Kirsten Cohen [Melinda Clarke]?" Brody shot back, "Julie, only because she relishes it."
Finally, the host asked, "On a scale of one to ten, ten being the most, how big of a bitch was Mischa Barton behind the scenes of The O.C.?" Adam answered, "A two. A one. Yes."

The Bar That Stayed Open When Isaac Hit New Orleans
On Sunday morning, Chuck Rogers climbed in an empty beer bin and slept for two-and-a-half hours. That was his most memorable moment from Hurricane Isaac. For almost a week, he and his family, who own the 73 year-old Buffa's Bar and Restaurant, kept their neighborhood going with food, laughs drinks, and most importantly: electricity.
The place is your iconic neighborhood watering joint, where the staff is happy to pour you a sazerac, but most people go for a shot and a beer. Rogers took over the bar in 2010 as a business that he and his family could run together.
Rogers, 54, said people showed up in droves and some walked in the pouring rain and battering gust to avoid staying in their hot, dark homes. He and his family never thought about closing the bar, which was established in 1939. The white, two-story building with large oval windows and bar on the lower level, has endured every hurricane with minimal or no damage. They didn't fear for safety.
Buffa's is on the French Quarter's electrical grid, and only briefly lost power as the rest of New Orleans went dark. The bar is always open 24 hours and during Isaac, at any given time, 80-100 people was there drinking, talking, watching movies, and charging electronics.
"We didn't expect that we would end up almost living there," said Tom Carson, 55, a writer, who lives nearby with his wife. "Our house was stinking hot and there was nothing to do."
Carson had stories to file through the hurricane and after. He blogged about the Republican National Convention for GQ, and wrote about the hurricane for American Prospect going back-and-forth between his home and the bar to recharge his computer and check email.
For five days, Carson repeatedly checked the city's electricity provider's website in vain—he still had no power. His wife, Arion Berger, said she started getting antsy.
"Being in New Orleans, we're used to sitting in bars for an extended time," said Berger, 47, also a writer. "But, on the fifth day, I was ready to go to work again."
Carson and his wife met more of their neighbors in those few days than they had during the last year.
Beyond the draw of cold beer and electric outlets was a makeshift emergency food c0-op. The locals brought foods from their freezer and the bar cooks whipped up dishes like "seven beans and rice" and "hurricane gumbo." The only pay was what customers put in the tip jar.
"We depend on our customers to remain in business," Rogers said. "But, in times like this, they depend on us to be in business."
Regardless of the weather, Buffa's will always have regulars.

Since some members here are quite open about their opinions against open carry, and have written reason upon reason why they and others shouldn't do so, would you be against a law that did not allow open carry?
The way I look at it, if you're so openly against it there should be some 'yes' votes coming in - after all, you do provide fuel for the anti-gun groups (you do realize that organizations like the Brady Campaign read these forums, right). If even gun owners speak out against open carry it won't be long until your quotes are put to the test, if they aren't already.
So please, take a moment if you will and answer honestly - I'm genuinely curious, and this is an anonymous poll.

Woman complained to cops about bad weed, arrested
Lufkin, Texas police arrested a woman after she called them to complain about the quality of her marijuana dealer's product.
Sargeant David Casper said police responded to 37-year-old Evelyn Hamilton's complaint that her dealer refused to return her money after she was upset over substandard marijuana.
Hamilton allegedly produced the drugs from her bra when police asked if she still had it.
She was arrested on a charge of possession of drug paraphernalia.
Hamilton said she spend $40 on "seeds and residue."

Let me set the stage for you…..it's 1870. Chaos reigns in in Georgia. The Federal govenrment is attepting the third time to reconstruct the ex-Confederate state.
From Georgia on My Mind….. "What you have to realize at this point is the Georgia General Assembly was not exactly controlled by folks who acted or thought like a large majority of Georgians at the time. Merton Coulter, author of Georgia: A Short History (1947) advises much of the General Assembly during Reconstruction was comprised of northern adventurers better known as carpetbaggers, a group known as scalawags (Georgians with pro-Union sentiments), illiterate Negros (the majority of which were merely manipulated yes-men to the carpetbaggers), and a few conservative Georgians. The New Georgia Encyclopedia article regarding Reconstruction in Georgia states, in January 1870, Alfred H. Terry, the third and final commanding general of the District of Georgia, conducted "Terry's Purge." He removed the General Assembly's ex-Confederates, replaced them with the Republican runners-up, and then reinstated the expelled black legislators, thus creating a heavy Republican majority in the legislature.
From this chaos comes a new Georgia County…..A county known in the legislative act as Douglass County.
Was it truly named for Frederick Douglass or was there a scheme afoot? Head on over to my post titled The Skinny on How Skint Chestnut Became Douglasville...Or How Douglas County Lost Its "S" to find out.

Perhaps Brievik's inexcusable act of vicious terror should serve not only as a warning that there may be more elements on the extreme Right willing to use violence to further their goals, but also as an opportunity to seriously reevaluate policies for immigrant integration in Norway and elsewhere.

Even though I didn't grow up a metalhead, I can respect those who did, and I have a particular affinity for That Metal Show on VH1 Classic.
TMS host Eddie Trunk has just penned a book, Eddie Trunk's Essential Hard Rock and Heavy Metal (Abrams, $19.95). In it, he offers an A-to-Z guide to metal's biggest acts, throwing in several little-known facts for those already well-versed on the subject.
Here are five things I learned from Eddie's book:
1. Eddie Van Halen considered replacing David Lee Roth with Patty Smyth from Scandal. Scandalous!
2. Former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted suffers from severe back pain "due to years of onstage headbanging."
3. Back in the '70s, Alice Cooper's pet snake got loose in the plumbing of the hotel where he was staying. It came up in the toilet of country singer Charley Pride, who was staying in the room next door.
4. Motley Crue's Vince Neil has had his own tattoo parlor, tequila line and cantina in Las Vegas.
5. Guitarist Dave "Snake" Sabo from Skid Row used to have a pet pig named Buttlick that he kept in a crib.
OK, maybe these aren't essential factoids, but they're pretty interesting. For much more metal, check out Eddie's book, which is in stores now. Rob Halford pens the forward.

According to Haryana Finance Minister Harmohinder Singh Chattha, Amritsar-based SGPC supporters had converged in large numbers in key gurdwaras in Haryana to retain control over the Sikh shrines in the wake of Haryana Assembly recently passing a Bill for the formation of a separate body.
Haryana's Cabinet Minister Randeep Singh Surjewala hit out at Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, his son and Deputy chief minister Sukhbir Singh Badal, accusing them of "playing politics" over the HSGPC issue.
"Badal and his son (Sukhbir) say that they will not allow Haryana SGPC to take control of the shrines and dispatched their ministers, MLAs, MPs to Haryana... Can a state take up law in its hands by entering the territory of another state in this manner," Surjewala said.
With SGPC firm to keep the possession of the gurdwaras, SGPC leaders, SAD supporters are camping at Gurdwara Chhati Patshahi in Kurukshetra, Manji Sahib and Panjokhra Sahib and other key gurdwaras in Haryana, with police maintaining a vigil to prevent any untoward incident.
Surjewala, who had earlier written to Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh demanding to withdraw the Centre's letter to Haryana government in this regard, said, "We want to tell Badal and the Union Home Minister that the country's constitution, the law of the land, maintaining peace and rights of citizens are supreme. You cannot enter another state's territory just because Congress is ruling that state."
In a letter to Haryana chief secretary, the Centre had asked the state governor to withdraw the assent granted to a Bill aiming to create a separate Sikh Gurdwara management Committee, saying the state assembly did not have legal authority to enact such a law and it was thus 'void'.

Every person would change something (or things) about their past if they could be given the chance. Dez Bryant would. He knows he has made very-public mistakes off the field, but he and his head coach, Jason Garrett, say that Bryant is now a different person than the one who dropped in the 2010 draft due to character concerns and was arrested last summer after a physical dispute with his mother.
"I'd say I found myself," Bryant said via the Cowboys' official website. "I'm comfortable with my life and I'm enjoying being in the NFL. Wish it could have been a couple of years back, but I had to go through a couple of things to figure it out."
Bryant's improvements as a person have coincided with his improvements as a player. Garrett said Bryant "has gotten some of these other things in his life kind of organized and together, and it reflects in his play. We've seen growth as a player, we've seen growth as a person and we love seeing him every day because he's getting better before our eyes."
Bryant posted a huge stat line in 2012, catching 92 passes for 1,382 yards and 12 touchdowns despite battling back pain and playing with a broken finger. The back issue hasn't completely disappeared, but it hasn't stopped Bryant from participating in organized team activities. The finger has been repaired. Bryant's offseason has been quiet, and now he is focusing on increasing his endurance so he can be even better in 2013.
Fantasy Analysis:
Bryant also needs to improve his communication with quarterback Tony Romo after they had some disastrous lapses last year. Still, he was unstoppable at times and is just 24 years old. The ceiling has yet to be reached here, and Bryant should be the second WR off the board in most drafts.

Information on Pomeranians?
I currently own a senior lab. I am a university student in my third year and live at home with my parents. I am thinking of getting a pomeranian as my next dog, because I am wanting a small dog and these guys look and sound very endearing to me.
This dog will have a minimum of 45 minutes of exercise every day... my mom loves to go on her 20 minute walks with my senior lab, Max, so this guy would most likely join. I always like to take Max on a 30 minute walk either after school or in the evening. In addition, he would get lots of play time. My mom is a stay at home mom, and so I would have lots of help with potty training. This will be technically "our" dog, not just mine, because my mom wants another dog too.
The only thing about poms I am worried about is that I've heard they're very yappy. Is it possible to have a non-yappy pom? I am also wondering about the shedding. My lab sheds a lot, wonder if the amount is equal, more or less then a pom shedding.
Thank you
Asked by
on Nov 7th 2012
in Pomeranian
- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
Yappy? It honestly depends on the dog! Some dogs are calm and some dogs have SO much energy! Lol but a more reliable way to ensure your pom isn't so yappy would be to get mix pom. Usually mixes are the best of a certain breed, poms in this case, but tend to have less health issues and are less yappy or aggressive. I know from lots of experience so trust me lol! I have two chihuahua mixes, barely hear a bark out of them and they're the sweetest little things. Ps it also depends on the way you bring them up(:
Shedding? EXTREMELY!!! Wow, a lot a lot of shedding LOL. Grooming is a must with these fur balls. I have a lab and can almost gaurentee poms shed more by far, especially if not accasionaly brushed.
Exercise? These dogs are mostly balls of energy, depending on the dogs personality, but overal poms are energetic little dogs. But still they're so small exercise is not as essential to a larger dog. 45 minutes would be great.
They're great dogs best of luck!

Tail of the Dragon
Great article in Jun06 R&T mag. I did a search on this forum and found out there's a few lucky drivers out there who've run it on two or four wheels, but from what I read, not in their V. How about it, any first hand V accounts? The sheriff quoted in the article seems like decent guy...he runs it himself but won't use radar or chase anybody due to a bad experience one of his officers had. http://www.tailofthedragon.com/

Re: Tail of the Dragon
This route has become too popular and is now a detriment to the locals. Having spent some of my time growing up in Robbinsville and my mother born and raised in Robbinsville now living in Maryville, TN (at the base of the Dragon), I can say that now it is becoming spoiled by a bunch of frickin' idiots who insist that they are entitled to raising hell on the Dragon. My mother (77 years of age) drives up to see family (people who actually help settle this country) on the weekend's and for the most part the visitors are decent, but it is changing.
There is "zero" room for error on the Dragon, as a road shoulder is nonexistent and you plummet down into the canyon and other side is carved right up against the rock strata. You'd better have a satellite cellphone as the cell towers are far and few between, so if you go off the road they may or may not find what's left of you and your vehicle.
Re: Tail of the Dragon
I plan to one day.
Re: Tail of the Dragon
I would love to run the gap/dragon. But I will not go due the crazy idiots on motor bikes not only crusiers but rockets too. They think they own the road. I've known several people in the miata clan ( ) That have also pushed a bit too hard and gone off the side.
I run the snake in N. Ga. its alot less populated still not many people know of it. Its too rual so you don't get those rare 18 wheelers that try to kill everyone on the dragon.
There are great Gap photos here daily..
Re: Tail of the Dragon
Have not heard of the dragon...the snake, however, I was just talking about the other day to a buddy of mine that thinks his S2000 is the baddast thing ever built. It is pretty sweet, especially for under 20K, but I love to give him crap about it.

Re: Tail of the Dragon
I would recommend that anyone check out the complete Blue ridge Parkway. http://www.nps.gov/applications/park...ps/BLRImap.pdf I have seen fog on it that was so dense you couldn't see the hood ornament.
Much interesting info here http://www.tailofthedragon.com/ every year some people take their last ride on the Tail of the Dragon.
Re: Tail of the Dragon
hey ive been there .....tho with a minivan ....pretty hard to drift an astro ...
i might add , i know you dont normally drift that area ..but with an astro thats about the only way to go thru it at a hair rasieing speed...the steering wheel in a asstro is merely a negotiation tool , the van basicly decides a few mintues after the turn if it was a good idea or not ....
Re: Tail of the Dragon
Sounds fun. I want to try Route 191 just over the NM/AZ border:
100 miles, 1800 turns.
"Saw 1 car going the opposite direction"
"We pushed it and didn't get over 45 mph. Some hairpins are 10 mph corners"
Re: Tail of the Dragon
Holy freakin carsickness. I'd hate to be stuck behind a Sunday driver on that 11 mile stretch. It looks as if passing isn't an option compatible with life.The above post is my 2 cents....nothing more.

This October, the career of rock icon OZZY OSBOURNE will be celebrated with the Epic Records/Legacy Recordings MEMOIRS OF A MADMAN collections.
Due out October 7, MEMOIRS OF A MADMAN (CD) serves as a career spanning audio release, featuring 17 of OZZYs greatest hit singles compiled in one place for the first time in his career and will be available in a single CD, two-LP set and two-LP picture disc set configurations. Pre-order now available at Amazon.
The MEMOIRS OF A MADMAN (DVD) is a definitive visual two-disc DVD set which includes classic music videos, along with unreleased and out-of-print live performances, plus interviews from his solo career. Both sets offer fans of the multi-platinum recording artist, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee and three-time Grammy® winning singer and songwriter hours of entertainment from OZZYs distinguished solo career. Pre-order also available at Amazon.
On July 22, fans got a sneak peek of MEMOIRS OF A MADMAN via Twitter. By using #OzzyRules in accordance with the number of tweets, engaged fans were able to unscramble the cover artwork and unlock a video teaser (http://smarturl.it/ozzy_memoirs_teaser).
In addition, an exclusive AUTOGRAPHED limited edition fan bundle will be available (http://myplay.me/1abf). This includes an autographed poster, 2 DVD set, CD, 2 LP picture disc vinyl, along with a Creative Allies fan designed poster, which will feature an image personally chosen by OZZY (creativeallies.com/contests/977-create-artwork-for-ozzy-osbourne).
OSBOURNE's ongoing solo career spans four decades--as both a successful solo artist and as the lead singer of Black Sabbath--and his music is as relevant today as ever; it still resonates daily on TV, in movies, on radio and at stadium sports events. OZZYs latest solo release--his tenth studio album, 2010s Scream--debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard charts, featuring the No. 1 Mainstream Rock smash Let Me Hear You Scream.
From the first notes of OZZYs 1980s solo debut Blizzard Of Ozz and follow-up Diary Of A Madmanto classic albums No More Tears and Scream, no hard rock solo artist has had quite the same reach as OZZY; his distinctive vocal delivery and larger than life onstage persona quickly endeared him to millions of rockers. OZZY immediately had the attention of fans of heavy music with rock staples Crazy Train, Mr. Crowley and Flying High Again. With the 1991 release No More Tears, OZZY continued his radio success with acclaimed and hugely successful singles No More Tears and the smash hit Mama, I'm Coming Home.
John Michael "Ozzy" Osbourne (born 3 December 1948) is an English singer-songwriter and occasional actor, whose career has spanned over 40 years. As of December 2010, Osbourne has sold over 100 million albums worldwide.
Osbourne rose to prominence as lead vocalist of the pioneering English heavy metal band Black Sabbath, a band whose radically different, intentionally dark, doom sound spawned the heavy metal genre. In his subsequent solo career Osbourne achieved a multi-platinum status in addition to the one he had earned with Black Sabbath. These things are what led Osbourne to become known as the "Godfather of Heavy Metal". It was during his Sabbath days that, due to their dark style of music, Osbourne became known as the "Prince of Darkness". Osbourne has over 15 tattoos, the most famous of which are the letters O-Z-Z-Y across the knuckles of his left hand. This was his first tattoo, created by himself as a teenager with a sewing needle and pencil lead.
In the early 2000s, Osbourne's career expanded to a new medium when he became a star in his own reality show, The Osbournes, alongside wife/manager Sharon and two of their three children, Kelly and Jack.

At least he didn't take anybody else with him!!!

I agree with wow, at least he didn't take anyone with him ! BUT to blame his family for not raising him right is a bit far fetched ! He was an adult, not a child, so he knew exactly what he was doing and knew it was wrong. His family did not know anything of what he was doing, and no one else in his family has a criminal history of any kind as he did. He made his choices in life as we all do. Of course not many of us do the things he chose to do. But to blame them for his actions is not really fair. They are grieving right now for a lost son, brother, Uncle etc. and they were shocked at the bank robberies, and are stunned at his suicide. He was loved by them after all. I can say this as I know the family left behind.Not only do they have to live with the facts of what he did, the robberies, the running, the hiding, now they have to live with his suicide and his funeral.They have nothing to be ashamed of, he did...HE put them through this.

love it when they save us the time, effort and money to lock them up

I agree with Tap.. he was an adult, parents can't control their children once they are over 18. Don't blame the family..my prayers go out to them.

I mostly agree with you, the guy was an adult and he made his own choices. Thank goodness he didn't hurt anyone else. I'm so sick of THAT scenario. But..his parents ARE partly to blame for the type of adult this guy turned out to be. He got his sense of morality and values, in large part, from them. I am a security guard for Huntington bank and I have to be on the look out for people like this on a daily basis and now that Christmas is upon us, it's not a matter of 'will we get robbed?' but, WHEN. Sad but true.

This 29 year old man's family could not control his actions any more than Nick's family could control his statements above. I hope we all get a little more compassion this year. Sounds like some of us need it.

Everybody ready? OK, now vomit!

He has been headed down this road for years now. He has gone from doing petty crimes to robbing banks.
Crime pays. Well, until you shoot yourself.
#11 Dec 23, 2007
I agree he was an adult, but I would argue the rest of your comment. Most parents can't control their children even when they are under 18.
#12 Dec 23, 2007
What a great turn of events. It's so nice to see someone who is willing to reduce the risk to cops lives and save tax payer dollars all at once. This guy deserves a medal.

Don't or Can't? If you teach them when they're young then you don't have to control them when they're grown. If you don't teach them when they're young then you CAN'T control them when they're grown.
Does that make sense?

Too bad, now he will miss out on being placed on probation. . . He only would have gotten at most 6 to 8 years in prison, and only would have served maybe 2 to 3 of those years and then been on probation... It is just a tragedy that the system failed this young man..
#15 Dec 23, 2007
Craziest post so far.
#16 Dec 23, 2007
He traumatized a lot of people.
I thank Jesus that noone was physically hurt in the robberies.
I am grieving, however, that he chose to take his own life. I will be praying for his family; that the Holy Ghost will comfort them, as only He can.
BTW, before you start in on me, I am the parent of one of the tellers at whom he pointed his gun; so don't tell me that I shouldn't have compassion for this young man and his family.
I doubt you would judge so harshly if your family was living this tragedy.

blame the parents or not..... vincent and diego were robbing banks and spending the money on luxury items... They weren't doing it because they were homeless or hungry.. they simple wanted the money. They wanted to buy excessive cars and clothes. They didn't want to make an honest living and went for the quick buck. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Vincent's Mom and Grandma in his truck when it was pulled over? Did they think he just got some great job which afforded him new vehicles with custom wheels? They knew something funny was going on, whether they knew the whole story or not is questionable. I actually met both of them in the misdst of their crime spree and Diego seems like a complete follower and probably would never have robbed a bank without the influence of Vincent. Hopefully, by some miracle, Diego is actually rehabilitated in prison and comes out a better person. I feel bad for the grieving family, but I feel worse for all of the people who had guns put in their faces out of greed.

Obviously some one didn't raise you right since you turned out so judgemental..
#19 Dec 23, 2007
You actually met both of them? Riiiiggght!
#21 Dec 23, 2007
I agree 100% Some just turn out to be scrum.

How about the illegal alien? Why did'nt police make sure he "committed suicide" at the last minute too? Everyone knows what really happened, Indy police have a long history of executing suspects.

Jeep driver killed in crash with school bus
THOMPSON'S STATION, TN (AP) _ State troopers say the driver of a sport utility vehicle has been killed in a collision with a Williamson County school bus.
The bus driver and 18 students aboard the bus escaped serious injury in the crash near Thompson's Station on Thursday.
According to The Tennessean, the fatality was identified by the Tennessee Highway Patrol as Jesus M. Diaz De Leon. Troopers said it wasn't clear whether De Leon stopped his Jeep before pulling onto Columbia Pike into the path of the bus, which was carrying students to Independence High School.
The bus driver was taken to a hospital for observation and students were examined for injuries by emergency medical technicians at the scene. One of them was removed from school later by his parents because of a minor injury.
