A couple weeks ago I was watching a TV show about a racecar driver who was scared to drive his car in a race again. He explained to a therapist what had happened:
He was coming up behind the leaders heading into a turn when the car behind him "bumped" him on purpose. He saw the driver moving into position, but he was unable to move out of the way. If he had been going 20 mph the bump might have been insignificant. However, when you hit the 100 mph mark on the racetrack a "bump" can be deadly. When the car behind him bumped him- he overcompensated forcing his car to spin out of control spiraling across the track to slam into the wall. The therapist asked him, "Is it illegal for another driver to bump you?" The driver responded, "It still happens."
The driver's fear of being bumped again during a race made him quit racing all together. He wanted to go back, but each time he thought about returning he panicked. So, he withdrew farther and farther away from the racetrack scene.
Often times, we are going through life, on our own journey, when a circumstance or a person "bumps" us from behind. Some of these bumps happen at the low speed of 20 miles per hour. We are able to manage them…carefully driving back into our lives. Other times we are slammed from behind (e.g. diagnose of terminal illness, death of a loved one, bankruptcy, betrayal by a loved one, etc.) Some of our "bumps" might seem illegal (especially when perpetrated by someone we care about), but they still happen. Unlike, the racecar driver who saw the other driver move into position to bump him…we can be blindsided not even aware we are about to slam into a wall.
How we choose to respond to being bumped is of utmost importance. We can choose to follow the old adage, "Once bitten…twice shy." We can quit trying…withdrawing from our current lives avoiding situations or even enter self-imposed isolation. It is understandable to be hesitant to trust that you will be healed or trust another person after being wounded by someone you love. Just like the driver, we want to stay as far away as possible from ever being bumped again. Or we can choose to get back to our lives. Jesus is waiting to help us overcome all our fear, doubt, and discouragement.
The good news is that the driver overcame his fear to return to the racetrack to win the race…beating the man who had bumped him. He chose to get back into the race.
If you want to choose to get back to your life after being "bumped" please visit us at the Glennon House. We have trained Prayer Ministers who will work with you, through inner healing with Jesus, to heal the wounds that have kept you trapped in fear, doubt and discouragement.

Stafford and former Georgia linebacker Dannell Ellerbe took in the Bulldogs' first practice without them, making a surreal day just a bit more odd than usual, but also providing the perfect backdrop for a new beginning.
"It was weird seeing Matthew in the stands," head coach Mark Richt said. "It was weird seeing Dannell Ellerbe just watching. It was weird for him and weird for us, too. But that's just college football. You know after a certain amount of time, guys are gone and other guys have to rise to the occasion."
Tuesday's practice wasn't exactly a make-or-break day for the players hoping to fill the voids left by Stafford, Ellerbe and company, but it was the coaches' first chance to see the Bulldogs in action since they ended the 2008 season with a New Year's Day victory over Michigan State in the Capital One Bowl.
Players were in shorts Tuesday and didn't go through any contact drills – that will wait until Saturday – but the energy on the field was a nice addition to the offseason.
"We've been putting a lot of hard work in so far, and everybody's ready to get to the football portion of it," said Joe Cox, the fifth-year senior who will be taking over for Stafford as the starting quarterback this season. "Everybody was shaking off some rust, but it was a good learning day and everybody had a lot of energy."
Cox expected Tuesday to be a turning point in his career, the first time he stepped onto the practice field as the leader of Georgia's offense. After going through the typical drills, however, it turned out it was a day just like any other.
"It was a little bit different, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be," Cox said. "It really turned out that I got as many reps as I did last year, it was just with a different group of guys."
The transition from Stafford to Cox at quarterback is the most obvious change from last season, but Richt said there isn't a lot of difference on the field.
"Joe's never had a problem stepping into any huddle any time and taking control," he said. "It's not very unnatural for him at all to step in there and be the leader, be the guy in control."

because we found it: TODAY – Hillary Clinton honors courageous women at 3:00 p.m EST
Today at 3:00 p.m. EST at the Department of State, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will honor International Women's Day (March 8) by hosting the annual International Women of Courage Awards. The award acknowledges emerging women leaders who have made great strides in advancing women's rights and raising awareness about the injustices that women face each day around the world. The award recipients were chosen from ten different cities each experiencing widespread injustices and human rights violations.
According to Melanne Verveer, the State Department's first ever Ambassador at Large for Global Women's Issues, "These ten women have overcome personal adversity, threats, arrest, and assault to dedicate themselves to activism for human rights. From striving to give more voice to politically underrepresented women in Afghanistan to documenting human rights abuses in Zimbabwe, these heroic individuals have made it their life's work to increase freedom and equality in the world."
One of the awardees is Executive Director of the Zimbabwe Peace Project, Jestina Mukoko. Mukoko has worked tirelessly to record the pervasive human rights violations in Zimbabwe in order to be able to effectively reveal them to the international community. In an exclusive interview, Mukoko says that "at some stage in the future people will be called to account for their actions. The victims and the perpetrators will have an opportunity to deal with it in their conscience." Mukoko is working to make sure this day does indeed arrive.
Other recipients include Shukria Asil from Afghanistan, Colonel Shafiqa Quraishi from Afghanistan, Androula Henriques from Cyprus, Sonia Pierre from the Dominican Republic, Shadi Sadr from Iran, Ann Njogu from Kenya, Dr. Lee Ae-ran from the Republic of Korea, Jansila Majeed from Sri Lanka, and Sister Marie Claude Naddaf from Syria.

Women's Soccer Names Captains for 2011
May 4, 2011
LEXINGTON, Ky. - UK women's soccer head coach Jon Lipsitz has announced that seniors Jenna Goblirsch, Natalie Horner and Kelsey Hunyadi will serve as team captains for the 2011 season.
"While congratulations are in order for Jenna, Natalie, and Kelsey, they alone cannot lead us to a tremendous 2011 season," Lipsitz said. "Daily excellence, culminating in championships, has to come from the entire team. Each person will have moments to impact the team and guarantee our success, but without everyone, we cannot be our best."
Goblirsch, a senior from Elizabethtown, Ky., has started every game she's played in since she arrived at UK in the 2008 season. She has tallied 27 shots and scored 17 points, including six goals, in 48 career games.
Horner, a transfer from Michigan, saw her first action with the Cats last season. The senior from Upper Arlington, Ohio, totaled 17 points on five goals and a team-high seven assists last season.
Hunyadi, a transfer from Louisville, also saw her first action in blue and white last season. The Dublin, Ohio native led the Wildcats in scoring with 19 points, on a team-high eight goals.
The three seniors helped lead Kentucky back to the SEC Tournament last season, for the first time since the 2007 season.


text: Alan - Unregistered July 20, 2012 6:15 PM Enough of this nonsense of penalising the driver when the car has a mechanical fault, its a joke that a driver can have his race/championship ruined over something that is beyond his control. If they want to hand out stupid penalties then take constructor points off the team as their the one's who build/design the car, not the driver. 13 agree 2 disagree


text: My nav/entertainment unit went bad--while driving down to Denver, to the dealer I bought it from, to get it replaced, I started getting lots of warning lights & messages. One was service suspension, but I think near all the warning lights flashed at some point, I was driving through heavy traffic in Denver & a little too occupied to really check them out. Also the steering got a little squirrely, like may the power steering pump was going out. Turned out to be the steering module. Don Massey caddy replaced both the nav unit and the steering module. When the mechanic was test driving it he heard noise in the differential and advised me to get it checked out at my home town dealer--Halladay's in Cheyenne, WY. I did and they replaced the differential yesterday & I got it back today. Everything seems to be hunky-dory with car. Still the best car I've ever owned. Nothing but kudos for both dealerships

Audi's Future at Le Mans Bright According to VAG Motorsport Boss Durheimer
by George Achorn on 30 July 2012 in Motorsport
For those who've been following along, Wolfgang Durheimer likely needs no introduction. As a refresher then for those who may not be up to speed, the one time Porsche executive who will be jumping this summer from the top job at Bentley/Bugatti to replace Michael Dick as head of R&D at Audi made news well before his new post had even been announced while commenting on Volkswagen Group motorsport objectives and specifically how this could include F1… and maybe Audi.
There's been more evidence that has made us wonder if Audi's days in Le Mans may be numbered. VAG sibling Porsche is due for its own return to Le Mans at the top LMP1 level with a gasoline-powered hybrid. Rumors from our sources have suggested that Audi Sport's Dr. Ullrich, a long-time vocal critic of an Audi move to F1, may not be that far from retirement. Ullrich's heir apparent Dieter Gass has a clear history with Formula 1 and came over from the German-based Toyota effort. Add all of these pieces together plus a few more we'd not care to divulge and this all made us fairly certain that the question of F1 was one of "when" and not "if" for Audi.
Looking back on it, Audi has never stayed in any one form of motorsport very long. Rally and Touring Car are the most notable eras for the brand aside from its most recent decade plus of endurance racing, and no stint in any other form of racing has gone as long as the 13-year run at Le Mans. Still, key contributors to change in those other series hindered Audi's technological development. At Le Mans Audi has not really met such barriers.
Still, Durheimer's earlier comments plus his move had us concerned when it came to Audi at Le Mans. A move to F1 may be one very sweet consolation prize, but it seems that most Audi enthusiasts who've opined to us following that piece in January believe that Audi belongs in sportscar and endurance racing. Even better for the ardent, recent comments by Durheimer to British-based EVO magazine suggest he's of like mind… maybe even anti-F1 for now.
Regarding Audi at Le Mans, Ingolstadt's new R&D Boss stated to EVO, "Audi have won Le Mans 11 times but Porsche have won it 16 times, so Audi will keep coming back until it has broken Porsche's record."
Of course this sets the stage for a serious Le Mans rivalry, particularly between Audi and Porsche. Many fans we've spoken to have questioned whether this made sense. EVO posed the same question to Durheimer and was met with this answer.
"Magazines are always comparing Volkswagen Group cars with each other, so why shouldn't we compare our race cars within the same group? Competition is good for Volkswagen and it will not be a straightforward fight anyway, because there will be a technology battle going on too. Porsche will be racing using a petrol engine, Audi will be using diesel power."
After covering a few more subjects including the Volkswagen brand's assault on the WRC (pp. 14-15 of the September 2012 issue), the conversation turned to Durheimer's outlook on F1. Interestingly, he seems to have changed his mind on the value of F1, at least under current conditions.
"This year's F1 season is exciting for fans, but all the uncertainty as to who will win is making it hard for me to recommend to the VW board we should enter the sport. It's too unpredictable – if you put the effort in, you should have a good chance of winning. But at the moment it's too random who wins, so I am not interested."
An interesting side not on F1: though this year seems even more chaotic than most in regard to team dominance, even more "stable" previous years have seen motorsport giants and chief Audi rivals BMW and Mercedes-Benz invest large fortunes in Formula 1 for little or no gain. Choosing to back Le Mans and presumably the WEC through ongoing top tier participation by Audi and Porsche should prove very valuable both for the Volkswagen Group and sports car racing as a whole. Audi enthusiasts with a fetish for F1 may not find this to be good news though we suspect the overwhelming majority of four-ring fans out there will be happy at this news.
Make sure to check out EVO Magazine for more on this story.

Winter interlude
The end of the year will complete my 5th year of blogging, so I plan to take a few days off and let the batteries recharge.
In the meantime feel free to use the page to talk about anything at all.

Cheers to you and yours :-)ReplyDelete
It's good to take some time away to recharge. I do this in my garage on woodworking. Others like to go fishing, camping, walking, even shopping.
May the New Year bring you all good health and many new wonderful adventures.
Talk about ANYTHING at all?! Now that's leaving yourself wide open!ReplyDelete
This will not make any of us smile... but it is good to see the specifics of what Feinstein and friends have planned.ReplyDelete
I just ran across this headline:ReplyDelete
"CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago has logged its 500th homicide of 2012."
"The last time the city reached the 500-homicide mark was in 2008, when the year ended with 512 killings. Last year, city records show Chicago had 435 homicides."
"On Thursday, officials with the Chicago Police Department said the city was one homicide away from the 500 mark. Hours later, a 40-year-old man was fatally shot in the Austin neighborhood.........."
And here I thought that B.O.'s adopted home town was a model for "gun control". Gee, could it possibly be that gun control, per se, really isn't the answer?
Here is a link to an excellent article by Mark Steyn:ReplyDelete
"A country too stupid to survive..."ReplyDelete
Excellent article.
If Feinstein gets this it will be bad enough but I also see it as the 'gateway' to confiscation. I find the part about grandfathering to be particularly ominous!Replies
Me too. This is their goal. Someone told me these quotes were too old to be meaningful...Delete
"Banning guns addresses a fundamental right of all Americans to feel safe."
--U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein Associated Press 11/18/93
"Banning guns is an idea whose time has come."
--U.S. Sen. Joseph Biden Associated Press 11/18/93
"Gun registration is not enough. Waiting periods are only a step. Registration is only a step. The prohibition of private firearms is the goal."

I heard a very interesting story on the radio this morning on the way to work.ReplyDelete
There was this single mother of 3 (youngest was 2 mo. old). She was having a tough time making ends meet with her recent divorce so she turned to the bartering system. She was a hairdresser who could cut hair, color hair, etc. She found others who needed these services who had something that she needed or needed done (like babysitting, home repairs, even groceries). In one case she had some home remodeling done for her business at home in exchange for lifetime hairdressing for the workers mother.
Sounds like
1) She fixed her own problem (congrats)
2) She is not simply looking for more handouts (congrats again)
3) She may have given us all a way to avoid a portion of our taxes (hey, I have never taken a dime from social programs, but I have paid in more than my fair share. I can see no way that I will ever see any return – except for our fine military.).
I know that "barter" is just as taxable as a cash transaction. So what is your time worth? Example: If you weren't cutting someone's hair, what would you be doing…. Watching TV? Sounds nearly worthless to me ….
Just a thought …

Two years ago, President Bush urged the Christian Ethiopian government to invade Muslim Somalia because the American president did not believe Islamic fanatics should be allowed to rule. In the Bush version of "democracy," the man from Texas decides who is the right believer in "democracy" and who is not. The last departing Ethiopian troops are abandoning their bases and headed home after two years of more chaos and destruction in Somalia. The Somalian government has reached an agreement with the main opposition, the Alliance for the Re-Liberation of Somalia. The two sides are meeting to finalize arrangements for power sharing.
Two years have passed during which hundreds of thousands of Somalians were displaced or killed or brutalized by one group or another. Any sensible person would have known in 2006, urging a Christian nation to invade a Muslim one was an invitation to disaster. But, to George Bush, "disaster" is his middle name.

Episode 284 -
Puli is in a happy mood and is walking. But as soon as he sees Rags, he calms down and walks away. Seeing this, Rags calls out his name, and then pretends as if she's talking on the phone (tells a story), reminding him of their relationship – a sister brother relationship! As part of the story, he expresses her desire to ask Puli why he stopped talking to her. Puli feels bad. She then directly asks him why he's treating her as an opponent (since they don't' have any problem). He apologizes and tells her about them being responsible for splitting Bala from them. Rags smiles and congratulates him for winning the game. Seeing this, the guy cries (pretends to)… he doesn't stop till Rags calls out Vineeth's name. Seeing this, she asks him if he's scared of Vineeth, and tells him about Puli's group beating Vineeth (a big lie). Just then Puli informs Rags of Bala's arrival, but Rags thinks he is joking. Bala indeed is approaching them. Puli excuses himself, and hence Rags decides to leave. But Bala stops her and tells her about him waiting for her for hours, even though he knew that she wouldn't come! He later tells her that this isn't her. Rags speaks out and tells him that they are all friends, but one day he'll apologize to her for his behaviors (in the past). Bala takes this lightly and asks her to forgive him, and sings a song. But this doesn't change Rags…. she takes off! Bala has a smile on his face, and gets a bit emotional afterwards.
A car arrives in front of a house. Rags and her parents get down from it. It is their old house – the house in which they had lived before Sanghavi passed away. It reminds them of Sanghavi. However, the unoccupied house seems very unconditional. Rags wonders if they could move back to this house, but the father suggest they decide, since the house reminded them of Sanghavi (and hence they moved out). The mother is all fine with it, and is eager to move into the house again.
Bala is with Pandi and pachai. Pachai advices Bala not to worry about Rags not talking and shares his own story – his friendship with Rags after the incident. He then adds that it is hard seeing Bala like this. Pandi soon jumps in and ask Pachai to stop saying such things; after all Bala is singing duet with Priya on one side, but on the other (Rags), he is singing Kadhal vanthal solli annupu. He further requests they stop behaving so down, which is ruining their atmosphere. Just then they see a mottai PT, full of sandalwood! The trio burst into laughter, and start teasing him (of course to themselves). As soon as he neared them, Pandi runs and feel his bold ahead, of course with out the latter's permission. They then wonder where he had been; apparently he had prayed that the game go well, and hence he went to shave his head at one of the temples. PT then wonders if Princi had said anything, and the boys decide to scare him by lying. This is entertains them.
Rishi, Uni, Pachai, Rags and Pandi are sitting under the tree. Pandi then exclaims that on the 27th of the month, they are going to be celebrating an azhagi's birthday. The rest wonder who this azhagi is, and Pandi soon says that address where the girl resides. It happens to be Rags' house address and hence it is Priya. Rishi corrects Pandi that she isn't and azhagi but an alukki. Apparently he heard it from Bala. It then happens to be on the day of Vineeth's B-day. They decide to throw a surprise birthday party to him! Since it falls on the same day as Priya, they want to make it even bigger than her.
Rags is at Pachai's house talking to his dad. Rags informs how well pachai is doing at school. Murugan is expressionless, and tells her that the one who really wanted to see all this happen is no more, and hence there is no point in him forgiving Pachai. Just then they see pachai arriving on his bicycle. Pachai looks at Rags. Murugan tell Rags to ask what he is here for. Pachai then tells him about receiving the application form to further study in US, and hence he needs his father's signature. Murugan refuses and asks him to pretend as if he is dead. Pachai is really hurt and leaves. Seeing this, Murugan breaks down.
Bala is waiting for his friends to join to have supper at the roadside place. He waits for a while, and soon Pandi and Pachai enter. They inform him about a small meeting they had been to at Rag's house. Upon being inquired, Pandi tells him about the surprise b-day party for Vineeth. Bala of course is irked, but Pandi decides at fuel to the already burning fire. At one point, Bala blantly tells them that they never thought about celebrating his b-day….and takes off, even without having supper. The boys regret it now!
Kanavugal thodarum….
Episode 285 -
Unni, Rishi, Pachai, Pandi are sitting together along with Vineeth and Rags. Pandi signals Rags to talk to him regarding his birthday, but Rags requests Pandi to do the favor. Upon being asked what he (Vineeth) is doing on the 27th, Vineeth tells them about his usual duty. Pandi is irked and Rags soon asks him if he really doesn't know what is so special about the 27th. Vineeth stops joking around and tells them that he's aware of his b-day coming soon, but doesn't feel that it is too special for everyone to get a holiday. The boys then ask what he's doing on the day of his b-day, and he replies that he is off to Bangalore to be with his mother. They guys, esp. Pandi are not happy, and want him to stay back since this will be there last chance before they move on from + 2. They also add that they make this fun celebration and make Bala' group awe, since they too will be celebrating Priya's b-day. Vineeth is surprised that he shares his b-day with Priya, but Rags calls him a fraud J. They try to convince Vineeth, but their efforts go in vain. He tells them straight up that he can't and then takes off.
Vineeth goes to Rags' house upon being asked to come. Rags wonders why he got so upset when his friends talked about celebrating his b-day. Vineeth explains that the situation isn't right, since his parents have divorced and his father is living with another girl, and hence his mother is all upset. But Rags adds that they can't always be like that and need to learn to move on; as such they celebrate his b-day along with his mother. After much conviction, Vineeth ensures that he'll let them know after he talks with his mother.
Rocky and Shri's groups with Bala. Puli wonders why they have called for an emergency meeting. Hearing this, the rest of them tease him so much. Bala then informs that it is a b-day party time on the 27th. The rest mistake that it is Bala's and one of them order a grand cake. Bala soon clarifies that it isn't his (during this time, the guy cancels the cake order). Upon hearing that it is Priya's birthday (cake ordered again) they all cheer, but are a little surprised by hearing that Vineeth's is on the same day (cake order cancelled again). They are now planning on making this celebration a grand one to make it one step more successful than Vineeth's celebration. They are all determined to make this happen. Once the boys leave, Puli asks the guy (who ordered the cake) if he indeed did order the cake. The guy try to give excuses but Puli soon finds out that the latter was acting.
Rag's father is singing the song varuveeya varamaatiya (Namitha's song I believe). The mother comes and asks him if he's cut out Namitha's picture from the magazine. Father tries to gives excuses and somewhat succeeds. Just then Rags approaches them and asks for the 1000 Rupees she had asked from her mom to celebrate Vineeth's b-day. Upon finding out that Vineeth's b-day falls on the same day as Priya's, mother reminds Rags of celebrating Priya's b-day at home. The father then wonder's where they are planning of celebrating Vineeth's, and Rags tells them they are doing it out at a restaurant. After finding the reason (regarding Vineeth's parents being divorced), they suggest that Rag n Co. celebrate Vineeth's b-day along with Priya. Rags tells that she'll first have to ask Vineeth. Father assures that he'll talk to Vineeth.
Kishan is sharing his dream with Kirpani, which was about him dancing with Shriya; Kirpani adds that this song is from Sivaji and that he not dream about dancing with Shriya. Just then Priya walks by and invites Kirpani to her b-day party. Kirpani is delighted and falls for her. Just as she leaves, Kishan (who's crying) calls her and wonders why she hasn't invited him. Priya apologizes and wipes his tears. Kishan cloud nine!!! She then assures that she will not cut the cake till he comes, and then pets him. After she leaves, the two boys are starring at each other – another Kadhal Desam story.
Rags is busy doing something in the family room. Priya approaches and wonders why she is interfering with her. Rags doesn't get it, and Priya asks her why they are celebrating her's with Vineeth's. Rags tries to explain that it is dad's idea, but Priya doesn't listen and adds that Rags herself is ozy and now she's bring more. Rags is angered and tells Priya that she is a visitor and that she mind her words or else she'll get her parents to cancel the party. Rags warns her. Priya soon grabs Rag's cell phone even without the latter's permission and calls Vineeth. She tells Vineeth that she's got a big surprise for him and Rags on the day of the birthday, and wants him to mark this date on the calendar. After she hangs up, she warns Rags and leaves. What a *****!
Kanavugal thodarum......
Episode 286 -
Rags along with Rishi, Unni, and Pachai are sitting by the stairs. Vineeth walks in and sits besides them, however, no one speaks to him (they ignore him). He tries so hard to get them to talk to him, but they remain silent. He begins to counts up to 10, and if they do not speak to him before reaches 10, they'd never be able to talk to him. He counts up, and midway through, the gang walks away, but soon return to their original spot. Vineeth is relieved! Rishi n Co. express that all they wanted was to celebrate his b-day. Vineeth firmly tells them that he can't, since he is going to be away. Soon Rishi talks like Thavermagan Sivaji, and convinces Vineeth! All are excited! Just then, Pachai wants to share another important matter with him; Rags asks him if he knows where they are going to be celebrating his b-day. Vineeth doesn't know, and is fine with where ever they choose to do it. The boys want him to confirm. Vineeth wants to know what is behind this build up, and ask them where exactly they are planning of celebrating. Upon hearing that it is at Rags' house, he tries to oppose since Priya is also celebrating there. But before he could say anything, Unni and Rishi cover his mouth.
Puli along with Kiran and Shri are deeply thinking about ways to make Pirya's b-day celebrating a hit! While thinking Puli falls asleep and snores. The other two are irked and scold Puli. They then talk about the problems that may arise while celebrating both Priya's and Vineeth's b-day! Puli adds that there shouldn't be any problems since Rags' parents will be there. Just then, Kishan and Kirpani approach them. Kishan is shy! Kirpani later explains that both of the having fallen in love. Puli n Co. are shocked, and ask for the girl's name! They are even more surprised to hear Priya's name. The two K's want to know how they can impress Priya. Puli gives them an excellent idea; that is to go talk to Bala. The two K's believe him and leave with much expectation. Upon being inquired by Kiran and Shri, Puli adds that Bala will beat the two up!
Bala is with Pachai. Bala wonders where Pandi is, and pachai informs him that Bala's gone to order the cake at the same location as where Bala ordered Priya's cake. He further adds that they are planning of buying all the other necessities for the party from the same place as Bala. Bala is surprised! Pachai reminds him that it him (Bala) who challenged to make Priya's one a better party, and hence they (Pachai n Co) too wanted to show their power. Pachai further teases Bala about the Party. Bala being an absent minded (during this scene) slowly starts to reveal some of their plans. Pachai laughs it off. Just then Rags approaches Pachai, and reminds him of the meeting they have with Gabriel Sir. Bala wants to go with them, but Rags is adamant! Bala then asks her why she is not talking with him (and that it hurts), and as a reply Rags adds that one should show their care in act and not in word and leaves.
Vineeth goes to Rags' house. He parks his bike and calls Rishi asking him where he is. Rishi irritates Vineeth by saying that he just woke up. Vineeth reminds him that they are all celebrating his birthday at Rags. Rishi further teases him and adds that they'll join in a while. Vineeth is irked, but Rishi gives excuses to hang up. Vineeth then goes and knocks on the door. No response for a while, but all of a sudden the door opens and everyone give him a surprise! Strings sprayed on Vineeth with lots of balloons. All are wishing him a happy b-day!. Vineeth is really surprised. Rag's father friendly scolds Vineeth for arriving an hour late. Rags then asks her father to tell him about their gift! Before the father reveals what it is, he expresses that it was Rags' idea! The gift turns out to be his mother (Brinda das, Aanandma fame abhirami)! Vineeth gets emotional and hugs his mother. After receiving a kiss from his mother, he thanks Rags!
The actual party itself! Priya's cake on one side and Vineeth's cake on the other. Rag's parents are the mediators. Before cutting the cakes, Rag's father speaks out about the sudden changes in the members of each of the groups. He then flips the coin to see who'd go first; Thalai's team call Thala…and Priya turns out to be the winner. She cuts the cake and feeds Uncle and Aunt. She (almost romantically) turns towards Bala, who's looking at his friends, and feeds him. Bala delight fully takes a big bit out of it. The + 1 students cheer! Pandi irked seeing this. Now it is Vineeth's turn. He cuts the cake and feeds his mother first and then Rags. The +1 team looks so silent, and Priya gives them an attitude (God I'm refraining myself from saying the B word). Just as a surprise, Rag's father gets the two birthday babies to feed each other; he refers it as ootifying each other! Both are hesitant, but Priya seems to show it on her face! Screen freezes there!
kanavugal thodarum........
I must admit Priya (the real girl) is acting really well as a villy. But I really don't know what she's gonna do to split Vineeth and Rags. Can't wait till tomorrow!!!
Episode 287 -
Rag's father gets the b-day babies to feed each other. Priya hesitantly feeds a piece to Vineeth. Vineeth on the other hand, just spread it on her face; she also plays back the favor. Rag's father calms everyone down, and gets people from each group to say a few good words about b-day babies. Puli begins to praise Priya, and compares her to the leading actresses! Rag's papa requests him to stop, since he was overly doing it. Rags on the other hand, says out a poem about friendship; in which she adds that no matter what, we'll remain friends forever. Vineeth and Priya exchange looks (of course not in good terms). Rag's father (need to find his name) then asks Vineeth's mom to say a few words. She first thanks Rag's parents and adds how happy she is to see them like this. She also expresses being reminded of her school days, and wants everyone to unite.
Vineeth gang with his mother. Vineeth introduces the two new members to his mother: Pachai and Pandi. Pandi wonders if she is indeed his mother since she looks really young! She knows what Pandi's up to…after all he sucking up! Pandi then adds that if she had met them last year, then they would have seen an extra person, that is Thala, who is now with the opposite team. To this, Vineeth's mom adds that next time they see each other, she wants she all of them together. Pandi then reminds everyone about food, and drags Vineeth's mom towards the dinning area.
Priya is sitting in the living room all alone. Bala approaches her and cheerfully wonders what the problem is. She then tells him about having to celebrate her b-day in the same place as her. Bala cheers her up by saying at last, the guy just budged in on the party, and hence didn't have to do any preparation at all. Bala also alerts her to keep her gifts securely, since Vineeth might jack them from her. Priya teases him about not getting worthy gifts. Bala cheerfully offers his hands, and wonders what will make her happy. He then asks her what she prayed for, and she adds that she had prayed for friends who'd offer her lot of gifts. According to her, she wouldn't get any gifts for the next two years. Bala then prays and informs her that her wishes will come true in the next second and offers her a gift.
Rag's mom is preparing juice, and Rag's papa comes in along with Pachai. Upon seeing Pachai, she gets a little frustrated. Rag's papa tells her about Pachai wanting to speak to her, since she's been avoiding Pachai. Pachai then apologizes to which Rag's mom adds that she treated everyone as her own kids and hence didn't expect pachai to do this. At the end, all is good; they are in good terms now.
Vineeth's gang are all enjoying their soft drinks, esp. Pandi! While the rest are teasing Pandi, Priya walks by. Pandi begins to sing the song, oru oorin azhagin urivai, and the rest of the boys join him. She is a irked. Pandi then goes up to her and pretends to take thristi! Priya wonders if this is eve teasing. Pandi keeps teasing her, and she wants to call Bala. Pandi acts as if he's all scared (really funny…he screams like a girl). Vineeth requests Pandi to stop teasing her, and asks him to let her go. Priya firmly adds that this is her house; as a reply, Vineeth adds that it is his mouth and hence he'll speak whatever he wishes. She then calls uncle…upon hearing this Pandi flees. She also warns everyone that she's invited Gabriel Sir, and walks away. Rishi asks Pachai if GS will be coming, and Pachai denies. They then notice that Pandi is missing, and are making fun of him upon seeing him hide behind the door.
Vineeth is by the stair case, when Priya approaches him. She wishes him a happy b-day! Vineeth thanks her and wishes her the same. He adds that she looks pretty. She adds that he's lying and adds that he looks very happy today, esp. after his friends through him a surprise party and also the fact that he got a kick out of teasing her. He somewhat agrees. She then adds that they were once who are supposed to be best of friends, and regrets the fact that he went and joined Rags. He apologizes to her for slapping but adds that he can never give his friends up, including Priya (if the situation arises). He then advices that even though she is pretty from the outside, she needs to behave in a proper manner. She doesn't mind this, but thanks him for giving her the chance to become good friends with Bala. She later wonders if he'll be her friend, and adds that he doesn't mind but not alone. Rather with a gang. She further goes onto ask him about her gift from him. He doesn't have one, since he didn't' know she'd talk to him! She then offers to give her gift – a costly information! She informs him that Rag's mother is still alive and that no one knows about this. To further know more about the mother's whereabouts, she somewhat blackmails him, by saying that they'll have to sit and talk. Screen freezes on Vineeth.

China went communist and sort of kept their mouths shut about it. Russia tried to bully people into communism and found an ally in Cuba, who was located close to their biggest threat. Which in turn caused the biggest economy in the world to ignore them both.
Mean while China stayed in the 19th century and took tiny steps into the 20th and did it quietly for the most part. During that time we went all "America fukc Yeah" and grew a strong desire for instant gratification. While developing that desire we also didn't want to pay anything for it. So we looked for places to build stuff for us as cheap as possible and found out the Asians were good at it. So we had them build our low quality crap for us for pennies on the dollar. After a while the economies in those smaller Asian countries grew and so did the amount they were charging us for that cheap crap that we wanted right now.
Eventually that led us to China. A country that never really did anything to us, never posed a threat and didn't try to make us see that Communism was the best. So no they have us to support them and pay them to provide the products for our need for instant gratification at a cheap price. They saved the money we paid them for the cheap crap they made, barley paid their people for the work they did building our cheap crap. While we proceeded to stick our financial heads further up our asses all the time saying "America fukc Yeah" causing us to need to borrow money from somebody to help keep our instant gratification fed. China said "we have a lot of money you can borrow with a fairly cheap interest rate", "how much do you need?'".
And that is why China has succeeded at communism where Russia and Cuba have failed.

(CNSNews.com) - While President Barack Obama blasts Republicans for trying to dismantle Social Security, he's the one who is defunding the program by insisting on an extension of the payroll tax cut, former Sen. Rick Santorum said at Saturday night's Republican debate.
"Is there a Social Security Trust Fund or not?" Santorum asked. "And is the Social Security system going to be funded by payroll taxes or not? And the president of the United States runs around and talks about how Republicans don't care about Social Security and how they're going to rip apart the Social Security system, and he's the one defunding the Social Security system."
Santorum said taking money away from Social Security -- through lower payroll taxes, which fund the system -- is not the way to fix it. President Obama says an extension of the payroll tax cut, which Congress must approve by Dec. 31 if it's going to happen, would add as much as $1,000 to the tax bill of middle-class workers.
"I'm all for tax cuts," Santoroum said, adding that he'd welcome a tax cut that would create growth in the economy. "But to take the Social Security Trust Fund that is -- that is so sacrosanct to the Democrats when it comes for election time; And then to use that as a tax and then try to beat up Republicans for-- for not supporting the tax cut is-- is absurd.
"You either care about Social Security and you want to fund it, or you don't."
Santorum, Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-Minn.) and Texas Gov. Rick Perry all oppose extending the payroll tax cut. The other three candidates taking part in Saturday night's debate on ABC – Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul -- support an extension of the payroll tax cut.
'Moths and feathers'
Bachmann said the payroll tax should not have been cut in the first place. "I encouraged my colleagues not to go down this road," the congresswoman said. She called Obama's plan "a temporary gimmick," not the kind of permanent solution that the business community is looking for.
Bachmann noted that the payroll tax cut removed $111 billion from the Social Security Trust Fund. "This is a very real issue for senior citizens, because we have to pay the Social Security checks that are going out."
"We have candidates on this stage that are standing with Barack Obama on this issue," Bachmann said. But this year alone, it-- this will also cost the Social Security Trust Fund another $112 billion. And we don't have enough money this year in the Social Security Trust Fund to put out those checks -- which means we have to go to the General Treasury to get the money.
"And trust me, when you open the door to the General Treasury, the only thing that comes out are moths and feathers. There's nothing in there. So we have to recognize, we can't spend money that we don't have. And that's what Barack Obama's trying to do. Temporary gimmicks, not permanent solutions..."
Romney said he doesn't like the idea of raising taxes on people -- especially on the middle class in the "Obama economy." He noted that extending the payroll tax cut is a "temporary" move that will "help people in a very difficult time."
"But let's recognize, this is just a Band-Aid," he said. Romney went on to criticize Obama for not advancing a plan to boost the economy.
Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) said he would extend the payroll tax cut "because if you don't, you raise the taxes. But I want to pay for it," he said. "And it's not that difficult. In my proposal, in my budget, I want to cut hundreds of billions of dollars from overseas. The (Social Security) trust fund is gone. But how are we going to restore it? We have to quit the spending. We have to quit this being the policemen of the world."
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Texas Gov. Rick Perry were not given an opportunity at Saturday's debate to discuss the extension of the payroll tax cut, but Gingrich previously he has said opposes tax increases "in the middle of a depression."
Perry was asked to address the payroll tax cut extension yesterday, on "Fox News Sunday." He dismissed the idea of "temporary tax cuts that are going to temporarily stimulate."
"We are interested in creating a climate where people who have money can risk their capital. And it's not rich people. It's about small mom and pop businesses who are afraid because of Obamacare, afraid because of over-regulation, afraid because of over- taxation that come straight out of Washington, D.C., that they can't risk their capital. They can't create jobs that in turn will create the wealth. That's what we need to be focused (on)."
President Obama has pressed Congress for weeks to extend the payroll tax cut, casting it as an issue of "fairness." He and other Democrats insist that the cut should be paid for with higher taxes on the wealthy.
Most recently, in his Saturday radio address, the president told congressional Republicans "to stop the games and extend the payroll tax cut for working Americans. Because if they don't, nearly 160 million Americans will see their taxes go up at the end of this month.
"Congress can't end the year by taking money out of the pockets of working Americans," Obama said. "Now is not the time for playing politics. Now is the time to do what's right for the American people," he added.
In the weekly Republican radio address, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said President Obama wants to extend the payroll tax cut and unemployment benefits because Obama's 2009 stimulus plan didn't work:
The House will pass the payroll tax cut extension this week, Boehner said: "To help Americans who are struggling in the current economy, we will act on a jobs bill that extends payroll tax relief, extends and reforms unemployment benefits, and cuts government spending." But, Boehner added, "There will be no tax hikes on America's job creators."
Boehner said the bill extending the payroll tax cut will include a "bipartisan provision that supports the job-creating Keystone" oil pipeline project.
"You've heard President Obama say the American people 'can't wait' to take action on jobs. Well, the Keystone project is the very definition of an idea the American people can't wait for Washington to take action on," Boehner said.
President Obama has flatly refused to accept a deal that ties the payroll tax cut extension to the Keystone XL pipeline.
"This is no time for the same-old my-way-or-the-highway theatrics," Boehner said.
"There's bipartisan support for extending payroll tax relief and unemployment benefits. There's bipartisan support for tax incentives that allow employers to invest and expand. And there's bipartisan support for the Keystone energy project. We should get these things done."

This is a discussion on Scratched my WRX Front Bumper!! within the Exterior & Appearance forums, part of the Tech & Modifying & General Repairs category; I scratched up my front bumper real bad!! I took a U-turn like a noob.. fk now it all scratched.. ...
There's no hope..

ohh c'mon!!! What do you say about this?
Scratched my new bumper, help a newb fix it - NASIOC
This does not have enough steps to tell me how he did it.. NOSIOC done it.. Y can't clubWRX do it :P
Lol, All I have to say is, "touch up paint." There's not much more explanation than that. Smooth it (sandpaper), prep it (soapy wash, then mineral spirits, dry), spray it (with can in hand pointed in the right direction), polish/wax/whatever. Done. Just like that link you posted.
Otherwise take it to a body shop or something.

Like he said. Or live with it...there will be more to come.
I have a few (front and rear bumper) from other people who were considerate enough to help me buff my paint with their cars and didn't even leave me a note so I could thank them. Such is life.
Mask off, Wet Sand, Spray w/ matched rattle can paint, Clear, Buff... or pay a shop to do it
-Your going to have to take it to a body shop. They will have to repair it and it will require a 3-stage paint job. Make sure they color match it as best as possible. SWP is the toughest paint job to get back to OEM specification. In fact you will never have OEM paint again once that is fixed. Your front bumper will need a complete full paint job although your scratch isnt the largest I've seen.
-There is an alternate solution which would be to go to Subaru dealer and ask for touch up paint for the SWP color if you feel like DIY.
If you want it done right...do the first option. Good Luck mate.
FYI, the touch up paint from the Subaru dealership is $12 for a bottle the size of nail polish. The brush is similar to a nail polish brush as well. It might be worth a shot for the money.

"The invites were easy to do and turned out so cute. I am celebrating my 40th birthday and invited everyone to a tea party. They are so excited!"
"I personalized the invite for a housewarming and the colors, print and quality of the paper were awesome! I was very pleased and am planning on ordering invites for my 40th Birthday!"
"With the arrival of spring, we wanted to hold an Open House in our new home. This invite, in the brown & sage colors was the perfect choice. Allowed for the personalization of the wording for our event. Heavy stock feels nice in your hand. I ordered the kraft envelopes as they continued the color scheme of the overall invitation and added a special touch."
"This is a great quality invitation. Particularly liked that the paisley design was carried to the reverse side of the card. The colors made for a pretty presentation. I used this card for a 90th birthday luncheon--the only suggestion for improvement would be to change the the color of the personalized print section--it is a little hard to read for "older" eyes."
"Loved this card for my daughter's house warming party. The design was cute; who doesn't love a rooster? There was alot of room to personalize our information. The paper quality was awesome. I will definitely order from here again."

text: I've seen a few posts on this but no definitive answers yet it seems. I have a Samsung D450 soundbar and a Glo remote. I can not get the learning to work with the power, and volume up and down for the soundbar. The learning worked fine with the commands from my TV remote, and I am aware the Glo can control up to 3 devices per button. Ignoring the TV and just trying to get it to learn the soundbar remote commands is not working either. Am I missing something here? Can anyone help out? I bought this remote in hopes to save some money over going to a Harmony since I really only need to control the TV, soundbar, and TiVo.

| home | about valley | about us | kids | education | publications | links |
People have been present in the Valley since prehistory and it is likely that the Valley at this time would have formed a swampy wetland between the higher dry heathlands.
Evidence of early human occupation has been found in the form of two Neolithic arrowheads discovered at Tongham and a Bronze Age cemetery at Yateley. There are two Iron Age hill forts in the Valley which are prominent features of the heathlands. The two sites, confusingly both known as Caesars Camp, can be found on Aldershot Common and at Nine Mile Ride Bracknell.
Recent excavations at Tongham revealed Iron Age farmsteads in the Valley floor.
The landscape may have changed little from this period for another 2,000 years.
Daniel Defoe wrote in 1724:
Much of it is sandy desert where winds raise the sands
The ground is otherwise so poor and barren, that the product of it feeds no creatures but some very poor sheep, and but few of these, nor are there any villages worth remembering and but few houses or people for many miles far & wide. This desert lies extended so much that some say there is not less than a hundred thousand acres or this barren land
reaching out every way in the three counties of Surrey, Hampshire & Berkshire.
Top of page
Tithe maps show that the landscape at the early part of this century was one of small meadows and pastures separated by hedges, with much of the ground near the river marked as "liable to flooding". Many field names indicate the wet nature of the valley floor, names include:
A number of small copses did occur in the Valley but bigger expanses of woodlands were largely restricted to the higher and drier ground away from the river.
The landscape has undergone drastic changes in the past century. This is due in part to the geology of the area, as gravel is found virtually along the entire length of the river. Another factor has been the rapid urban expansion, which has reduced the open nature of the Valley to a narrow strip of land adjacent to the river. This is especially so in the southern part of the Valley.
Due to the Valley floor being subject to regular flooding the immediate area escaped the pressure of development, but instead became a natural communication channel with power lines, gas pipelines, railways and roads all present.
After the Second World War the demand for development of both roads and houses, and the associated requirement for building materials, meant that many fields in the Valley have been extracted for gravel and sand. This has produced a varied range of ages of water bodies in the Valley.
Since the 1950s gravel extraction has been constantly taking place in the Valley floor and many of the lakes found today are a result of this activity. Operators moved on as pits become worked out and the flooded workings resulted in ever increasing areas of open water. Most of these have been restored since the 1960s.

Cause of White Fire was accidental
Investigators said a legal cooking fire got out of control
SANTA BARBARA COUNTY, Calif. - Fire investigators have determined that the cause of Monday's White Fire was accidental.
The White Fire burned through nearly 2,000 acres of the Santa Ynez Valley and parts of popular campgrounds and trails.
Thousands of campers and residents were forced to flee on Memorial Day.
The Los Padres National Forest law enforcement and the District Attorney's Arson Task Force determined the blaze was not set on purpose.
"This is in fact a terrible, horrible accident and that there isn't an arson connected to this fire," said District Attorney Joyce Dudley.
Investigators found out that a legal cooking fire got out of control and it took fire crews four days to contain it.
"Grilling out is an American tradition, it's one of the greatest things in the world, but you have to be very careful. This time of year, in particular this year, is extremely dry," said Pancho Smith, district ranger.
Investigators do not know whose fire it was that sparked the blaze at the White Rock day-use area, but they are still looking.
"We'll try to determine who the person was and to determine that there wasn't any criminal intent in the matter. We don't believe there was. It very much appears to be accidental, but we will go forward with that," said Smith.
Although it was an accident, the damage was significant. Many popular areas for summertime camping and hiking will be closed until the land is safe once again.
The fire is contained but is still burning in some places. Fire crews will remain in the Santa Ynez Valley to make sure it doesn't spread.
Sites west of the Lower Oso day-use area will be open Monday, June 3.

John Bunting doesn't often allow himself to reveal the awe that opposing teams might inspire. But in detailing the many weapons No. 6 Miami will present when it hosts the North Carolina football team Saturday, a little bit of awe couldn't help but creep into the voice of the fifth-year coach. "This team we're playing has got a tremendous amount of talent," Bunting said with a wry smile. Specifically, the Hurricanes have the top-ranked defense in the nation and the best kick returner in the ACC in Devin Hester. But it's on the offensive side of the ball where Miami presents its widest variety of weapons. (Daily Tar Heel)

"We chose this design because of the simplicity. It wasn't too frilly or busy. Just simple. It turned out great. We went with the signature Matte after reading other reviews... it was perfect. I liked how heavy the paper was, and our image, which was very bright colorful turned out looking great. I had friends comment on how great the card turned out. I was a little disappointed in the printing, there was a very faint stripe that went down the center of each of my cards, as if the printer was running out of ink. However, it was very slight, and I probably only noticed it because I was looking for any problems. I'm not sure anyone else would look close enough to notice it."
"It was so hard to find a simple, stylish baby announcement card design! I just switched the back side colour to white and added three small photos to put some artistic shots of her feet etc and it looked great. This was very simple but beautiful and let the baby be the star of the show! :)"
"These announcements are phenomenal and far exceeded my expectations. The paper quality was outstanding and my photo looked better than I could have even imagined. My son's shirt in the picture had green stripes, so the design team matched the pattern on the back to his shirt at no cost. The designer called me and communicated with me verbally about the customization and send me a digital proof for my approval. It was exactly what I was hoping for! The icing on the cake was that the announcements were delivered ahead of schedule--even with the custom design work. I have received several phone calls from recipients telling me how wonderfully they turned out. TinyPrints has earned a customer for life."
"I love the simple design that focuses on his name. We received many compliments from friends and family. Quality of the paper is great."
"Tiny Prints changed the color of the name for me from white to blue. I really appreciated their ability to make that change for me. This is a very simple announcement but that's exactly what I wanted. Simple and classic. I love it and they were delivered very promptly! The paper is nice quality too. Thanks for making it so easy for me!"

Welcome to opening day of the 2012 Masters Tournament. A visit to the official website will tell you everything you need to know. Look below to see what the homepage is presenting this morning…3 old men wearing the green jackets that have never seen a chest with breasts. Note the I.B.M. logo at upper right.
The men happen to be famed golfers Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player. Doesn't matter. The point has been made.
A) NotMom Virginia Rometty, I.B.M.'s first female CEO, will NOT be invited to become the Augusta National Golf Club's first female member. The sexist tradition that began when the club was started in 1934 lives on. (Ms. Rometty, and any other woman, may play the course but may not join the club.)
B) I.B.M. will continue to sponsor the tournament as it has since the television broadcasts began, giving silent approval to the antiquated policy.
VISA's former head of global sponsorship told Business Week that the Masters is one of the most sought after in sports because "the decision-makers who do the deals in each of the sponsor categories watch."
Apparently, women are big users of I.B.M. products but not the major corporate or governmental purchasers. Moreover, it doesn't seem that this story is generating much Angry Woman buzz. At least, not yet. It's only Ms. Rometty's 4th month on the job…I suppose there's always next year.

68 power steering
I have a 1968 Camaro, originally a standard coupe with a
six cylinder and a power glide. The VIN# is 123378L303966. I
now have a 383 stroker with a Turbo 400. I have always had
clearance problems with my Flowtech Afterburner long tube
headers(1 1/2 inch primaries, 3 inch collectors) rubbing against
the stock power steering gear box. The number 3 tube would rub
and create an awful loud vibration at low rpm but would usually
go away once I'm up to speed.
I recently upgraded my cast iron SR Torquer heads to the GM
Aluminum Fast Burn heads. Because of this upgrade, I also had
to change my headers. I ordered a set of Hedman Shorty headers
from Jet Hot with 1 5/8 inch primaries and 3 inch collectors.
Now I can't even move the header into place to bolt it in
because the number 3 tube hits the power steering box even worse
than before.
Is there a smaller power steering gear box that I could swap
over to that would give me the room I need to bolt the header in
place? I thought I read somewhere about either an aftermarket
gear box for a Nova that would work, or a third or fourth
generation gear box that would be smaller. If not, does that
mean I'll have to convert to manual steering, and if so, would
that fix my clearance problem?
I know I've consistently read about guys with headers even
bigger than mine that have power steering and it looks like they
have plenty of room. Any help you can give would be great!

I've had a few guys ask me what's going on with work days, meeting, etc. Here's the rundown for all that are interested.
After our successful banquet, we were left with some funds. These funds have to be usedd in accordance with our Delta charter. Our initial use of the funds was to be for woodie boxes and hen houses. But, being so late in the season, the likelihood of the boxes being utilized has stopped that project until later in the year or potentially until after the next banquet.
We are potentially planning a youth event for later in the season.
Several of our members are pursuing first hunt youth days where we'll be taking kids out during the upcoming season's youth days in September from families of non hunters or from families with no waterfowling history.
We are actively planning a benefit shoot for wounded veterans to sponsor a fully guided hunt. Most of the details for that have already taken shape. After all of it is finalized, I'll post up the dates, times and names of those involved.
We're talking about a river clean up day serving a dual purpose. While the litter is everywhere, we'll be targeting certain litter... the blue dock barrels we see lining the side of the river. Our buddy KDS came up with the idea if we can reclaim the barrels, we'll not only be cleaning up the banks, we'll also be collecting the bases for goose nesting platforms. Each barrel collected can be cut in half, have wood attached to the bottom for added flotation and reset in various places to be used by geese. We have some state parks and other areas already on board with this idea. Our only issue that has come up is storage. To set them now, they'd sit idle until the next breeding season. We don't have a designated place to store them while the summer and winter go by. When we find a spot to store them, we'll announce a day we'll all collectively. Go out in our boats and hit the different pools of our rivers. A venture like this will be great PR and will likely get us noticed.
Believe it or not, we have some things already happening for the next banquet and we are still finalizing the last one.
If you have any ideas for us, post up. I'd love to hear them. We're trying to be as active as possible.in the community.
As far as a meeting date, we're looking to keep them to a minimum unless absolutely necessary. With the summer coming, acations, kids and everything that's going on, we don't want to make people adjust their schedules for a unnecessary meeting.
Again, thanks to all the guys who came out to the banquet and supported us. We're trying to make a good impression and I hope we're succeeding.
