great movie!!!! i love b movies.i got my husband a Taurus 1911 special edition. this year, because we were .45 heavy, i got him a Ruger SR9. i have a little llama mini max .45 for my saddle bags. not a weapon you'd shoot 100's of rounds through, but good for riding in the woods.of course, it's up to me to test fire and maintain the weapons. what a drag............
great movie!!!! i love b movies.
Kimber .45 I too love to see the perps blown away. Eases the frustration of all the stuff in the news from criminals let go to do it again. I especially get upset @ people that hurt children & old people, ones who can't defend themselves. I think that anyone caught hurting a child should be put into a stainless room w/drain & give the closest family members scalpels & saws. When they are done, then extended family takes a turn, then the neighborhood..then community...Whats left can be put on trial or hosed into the drain. J
Yes I just love those movies and the one with Jody Foster (forgot the name of it). I am not packing anything though. Afraid of guns!!

Eons ago, there existed great fighters known as the Jo-lan who drew forth their power from mythical beasts known as Psychorages. However, an evil warlord called Innovain brought them to the brink of extinction, then he sought to enslave the next generation of Jo-lan fighters. A young boy called Josec Fenix, after witnessing the death of his father, renounces the art of fighting, but fate sets him on the path of a fighter to restore peace.

It has been over two months since I last posted to this blog, and now I feel it is necessary to give a little update on that Ph.D. thing.
In November 2011 I posted about my joys and frustrations (but mostly joys) pursuing language study in three different languages nearly simultaneously! I have elsewhere written about my Hawaiian language study, which unfortunately formally ended last summer as my teacher moved back to Hawai'i. My study of Chinese has been ongoing (usually not going, with only little bits of "going" now and then) for over eight years. That project, which over its lifespan has had many different goals, resulted in the achievement of at least one of those goals in December 2011 when I passed my department's foreign language translation exam in Chinese. I translated a 19th-century Qing dynasty "memorial" from Chinese to English. If that sounds a bit interesting, you can read more about it in my "language study" post from last fall. In that post I had hinted that I would soon begin my third language of the Pacific World: Spanish. I have since begun lessons and can now read really, really simply Spanish texts. I have not yet made use of this skill in my research, but perhaps someday I will. In the meantime, we are planning to travel to Peru this summer and I will then get the first chance to use my spoken Spanish skills (of which I have very few).
Back to that Ph.D. thing, you might recall that since last summer I have been reading for my department's oral examination. I wrote about this both last June and July, although both posts tended to drift off into more interesting subject matter. And then, for many reasons that I need not explain, I never posted about orals again. I'll just say that the experience of prepping for orals became something I wanted to make believe wasn't really happening. I behaved that way until about 48 hours before the exam, earlier this month (February 2012), when I then began to feel the weight of my anxiety for the first time as if eight months of it had been building up and was only just then coming out. I slept quite poorly the night before and spent the entire morning of orals-day re-reading my notes again and again, and when that got old just looking at a piece of paper with the book titles on it, as if to burn the image of those books and everything I had ever thought about them into my eyes. But unfortunately, orals are like they sound: oral, not visual. So there is still the challenge of taking burnt eye-images, or burnt brain-ideas, or however you process the information, and transforming that into something oral and aural, that is, out loud in conversation with three faculty members sitting less than ten feet away from you. When the exam finally took place, it just happened, as everything spilled out of me, and I simply did my best to contain and control the spillage, to make the spills seem intentional and articulate and well-thought-out, rather than the wild tsunami it felt like.
I passed with distinction. And a day or two later, as I was beginning to imagine life without orals prep for the first time in nearly a year, I could begin to look back and see what a great experience it was. I learned a lot — "as much as I'll ever know," one supportive professor told me, although the words can also be read pessimistically, as if "it's all downhill from here" — and I developed stronger relationships with colleagues and faculty. I put my own projects on hold for a long time, including this blog, which I progressively got angry and sad about as the months of orals prep wore on, but now that I am back doing my own projects, I wonder what new distraction I can pursue to take me away from myself again. :)
With my foreign language exam done, and orals done, only one hurdle remains: the dissertation prospectus. Now comes my opportunity — "finally," I say — to do my thing. A big thing. The real Ph.D. thing; what it's all about. The dissertation.
I'm not ready yet to present my prospectus to the world. I can assure you that it will have something to do with Hawaiʻi, labor, environment, and the 19th century. It will be fun. It will tie together everything I have worked on for the past three years. It will, I hope, be a springboard for research trips to Hawaiʻi to conduct research. For it is shameful that I spend so much time in my "New York Life" dreaming these "Pacific Dreams," while in those dreams I live vicariously through 19th-century Native Hawaiian men who lived "Pacific Lives" and sometimes even dreamed "New York Dreams," although more often "Boston" or "California" dreams! They say the past is the foreign country, but the Hawaiian past is doubly foreign: it exists not only deep in an unknowable time, but also spatially apart: beyond the reaches of American imperial, teleological history-making (or at least, that's how I wish it was). (Of course, many historians, including myself, will disagree with everything I just said in the last sentence.) As a 21st-century haole from NYC, how can I get back to that past? And if I can get there, in this grand "Pacific Dream" called my dissertation, what will I say when I get there? How will I behave? Will the Hawaiian laborers I study recognize me as I recognize them? Will they appreciate that I want to know their stories, and tell their stories, to some unknowable future audience? Or will they think me a fool, or worse, even a bad person, because I dream these dreams about their lives?
Want to know? Well, you are cordially invited to jump inside my head whenever you'd like. Indeed, I would be happy to switch places for a while. Otherwise, the best I can promise is to continue to keep you informed through this blog as I explore the Hawaiian past. I can't guarantee that I will get there, but at least we can think about whether there is a there there, and if so, how historians might get there, or if they should even want to. And when not dreaming, I'll be doing the real work of finishing this Ph.D. thing. Looking at documents. Translating them. Analyzing them. Putting the pieces together. Crafting narratives. Testing hypothesis. And all that good stuff.

Re: V Front bumper
I would do the same if I had a CTS so no offense taken here.
Can't help you with the Bumper cover but if you don't get any bites here I would try the salavage yards and see if you can find anything.
I'm already doing searches. I just thought I would ask here. Maybe someone has a parts car. I just need to try and do it quickly.

Re: V Front bumper
It's going to be quite expensive if you try to source all the parts separately, your best bet would be to find an entire front bumper off of a salvaged car.
You'll need the:
bumper skin,
chrome hood trim,
upper grill,
lower grill,
foglight brackets, (I believe the actual fog lights are the same)
brake ducts,
front wheel well liners with the brake duct mounts

Re: V Front bumper
I think you can get a new one for around $450 from Luke. I want to replace mine because it has a crack but the cheapest I can get one locally is over 1000 euros, and there is no good way to get it shipped from Virginia to Germany since it is so large. So now I am just living with the crack.
Either way, it's going to be an expensive ordeal. And, getting bumpers painted is always a major pain in the ass, they never seem to be able to get the color to match correctly, and the paint is never as durable as the factory paint. I don't know why they need to design cars with these horrible plastic bumper covers anyway...so stressful and aggravating.
Now that I think about it, you should just sell your whole car and buy a V. It will be cheaper.
Well I found one. For those of you that may be looking, I found one from a place in Toronto, Ontario. It is a brand new bumper. It isn't made by GM but it is a full urethane bumper made by company in the US. The guy has sold 17 with not one complaint so far. He sells them for $399. He also sells most the other parts too like the grills and fog lights. I don't need the upper grill but I do need the lower one and it is $220. Parts aren't too bad and I don't have to have it shipped, he is close to me. I will be using my sport grill for the upper grill. I will also be getting the clear fogs and side marker combo off of eBay for $290. That's the light and the bracket. So that will be under $1000 for everything I need, that's not too bad of a price.
Re: V Front bumper
Good job finding all of the parts you need.
I always liked the look of the sport grille and for a second I thought about putting it on the V... Just a second.
I did end up getting a spoiler from a sport, liked that one the best for fit and look on a CTS.

Target: President Barack Obama
Goal: Permanently ban ConocoPhillips from conducting offshore drilling operations in the Arctic Ocean.
ConocoPhillips, an American oil company, has recently suspended its 2014 plans to drill in the Arctic, but the only way to keep this environment protected is to ban drilling in its region. Attempted drilling in the Arctic Ocean has a long history of devastation, and many researchers today believe wildlife is still impacted by oil spills that occurred more than 20 years ago. Arctic drilling is dangerous, and irresponsible companies like ConocoPhillips are least eligible to carry it out. Sign this petition and urge President Barack Obama to put a permanent stop to ConocoPhillips' potential plans to drill in the Arctic.
Arctic waters are threatened by drilling expressly because oil persists in its environment longer than anywhere else. Chemicals become easily trapped under sea ice and evaporate at slower temperatures, yet no effective technology has been created to eliminate the toxic contamination. When left for even a short while, oil can harm and kill every animal it contacts.
Despite these dangers, oil companies will do everything in their power to increase their funds at the expense of the environment, granted they can sneak past safety regulations. Previous joint investigations of ConocoPhillips China found the company had "seriously violated operating rules" after an oil spill occurred in the region, additionally failing to stop the source of the spill once it was identified. This company has proven they have little regard for the environment and cannot be trusted to invade and potentially harm the precious wildlife and resources of the Arctic.
ConocoPhillips attributed the halt of their plans to "uncertainties of evolving regulatory requirements and operational permitting standards," but they will certainly resume their plans if they can convince the Interior Department of their "risk-free" offshore procedures in time. Yet the past speaks for itself, and basic standards like undisruptive drilling are ones this company will never meet. Because they have halted their operation, now is the perfect time to end ConocoPhillips Arctic drilling plans for good. It is simply too dangerous to risk the safety of Arctic inhabitants.
Urge President Barack Obama to take action now and use his influence to permanently halt offshore Arctic drilling now and in the future, especially drilling by companies like ConocoPhillips that have proven to be hazardous to the environment. Because this process cannot be done safely by this company in the Arctic, it should therefore not be done at all.
Dear President Barack Obama,
Oil spills as a result of risky drilling methods are a serious threat to the environment. Recently, ConocoPhillips has halted its plans to drill in the Arctic Ocean in 2014, and now is the perfect opportunity to ban them from drilling in this region for good. This company has a history of reckless behavior, and they have failed to abide by operating rules that protect wildlife. As a result, they have wreaked havoc on China's ecosystem by causing massive oil spills and failing to stop the sources of the hazard months after the incident occurred.
The Arctic is a precious environment, and it cannot withstand the deadly threats of an oil spill. Oil easily permeates ice caps and remains in the waters for years. Animals inhale toxins and become caked with sticky chemicals that slowly destroy their bodies. Scientists have not yet developed technology to combat the effects of this prevalent tragedy, and it is far too risky to allow a company with a history of destroying wildlife to enter the Arctic environment and gamble with its ecosystem for profit. I urge you to permanently ban ConocoPhillips from conducting offshore drilling in the Arctic Ocean.

And further more, they are all coming out of the wood work. No more anonymous here on Topix. Go to Erics' exploitation blog on https://www.facebook.com/groups/2511551985/
People are just coming out as I thought would happen. You go guys expose yourself to Fitchburg. There they are! You can tell through the likes and certain bloggers who are involved out here.
There are fans of his photography as Eric is misleading them through his mud. Then there are those who give more insight. These people all link together. You are exposing yourselves.
All the filthy gay jokes, the harassment, the stalking and threats out here. The comforts of being able to commit all these attributes in an anonymous thread!
I have exposed these people and their wheels are rolling. They cannot back peddle. I guess this is what you meant Eric when you stated, " BE careful who you step on, you might anger the wrong person."
You are living up to your threats? It is ironic as you are utilizing the same thread to chastise me for talking politics on. Free speech? Is this why you all hide behind anonymous names threatening me? Is this why you all hide behind these fake names so you can harass and stalk me?
Eric, you opened up a can of worms as you just posted on that site. You are misusing that site for revenge. As the consensus has been "just block the person" whom you are speaking of but your real purpose is easily seen by people who can think for themselves!
#2 Aug 6, 2013
You are starting to get it chicken lips. Many residents have lived in the city and raised famalies in Fitchburg their entire lives. Then trash moves in and bring their garbage with them. Nobody likes it. Do you honestly believe you operate on a higher intellect level than me?
You claim this Eric opened a can of worms. Well I can guess what worm popped out of it.
Tell me something and be honest. When you get intimate with your lover is it like trying to shoot pool with a soggy piece of spaghetti?
You have lived in the city for a short time and believe you should be Mayor! Wake up Princess Buttercup that's just a dream. Grow up and get a job.
Does your mom yell down the basement stairs and say 'Kevin what's all the racket down there????' and you respond.... Bock Bock Oink.
#3 Aug 6, 2013
You are disgusting. What principles do you live by if ANY??
It is obvious that Fitchburg is a complete mess politically, economically ect... This is not my doing. It has been ongoing for years and no one is exempt to drug abuse as many life long citizens have lost family members to this awful drug.
You like to pick and choose. You really think I ran for Mayor for my aspirations? I see and respect the people both lifelong citizens and new citizens.
So, you believe that Fitchburg should be divided between those that been here lifelong and everyone else?
And fully understand that only 12 % of the registered voters vote. You are lost in a fantasy land that doesn't exist not me. I know what is fair, equal, honest and righteous. Now you may attempt to bend those definitions to fit your thoughts.
I am sick and tired as are 90% of Fitchburg. The other 10% are content as most of this group do not even drive through downtown Fitchburg. It is like Wong, deny the reality and facts which residents experience and they may even begin to deny the reality and join her.
A man is to stand alone with his chin up. I am not a follower as it is obvious through your own admission that you are a follower. Only you can change that fact and to stand strong on your own.
Exposing corruption in Fitchburg has been hazardous but it has made a difference.
Now be honest, Is Fitchburg more corrupt than most cities in Massachusetts? I lived in Boston and there is a lot of corruption but it is a smaller percentage.
Today Mr. Bean stood up for the citizens of Fitchburg as he refused to allow mayor Wong to put the people of Fitchburg second to her resume!
United States
#4 Aug 7, 2013
Kevin, there are 4,000 registered users on that Fitchburg site and many who are not registered but use and anjoy it. All of them, even if they don't still live here have friends and relatives who do. It looks like you ticked off all of them in just a couple of days. Real smart.. You are a real head case.
#5 Aug 7, 2013
All of them? How many? I am sure that everyone has their own vote to cast. Not all my family votes the same way that I do. I have Democrat friends, Republican and Independent.
This campaign is all about the reality and not who you know! Politics in Fitchburg have been electing the "who you know" for a long time with the same results.
I am on board with Mayor Wong on some issues and stances but now it seems like she is totally transfixed on her resume. What about the resume for Fitchburg and all its citizens??
#6 Aug 7, 2013
I called someone on the fact that they were being a hypocrite, if this looses me votes then be it. I outlined the facts and the vultures came down with claws extended. They didn't want the facts as they were obviously pre-decided if you would in hating me.
You know what is even funnier? Check the "new friends" on their sites. Then tell me what you see!
Marie, why do you hate me? What have I said that you do not like personally? Seriously?
I have a feeling that you really do not believe that there is any corruption. For you, what is it? The Puerto rican citizens? Do you want them all out of Fitchburg? What about poor people? Are they bad too? I have a feeling that you would support a pedophile as long as they were of the upper class and have lived in Fitchburg forever.
#7 Aug 7, 2013
Where are all the harassing people, where did you go? Wow, this is like a disappearing act out here.
I must of nailed this one. I was able to confirm three bloggers out here and all three have disappeared from the airwaves.
Maybe I should be a detective, huh? I missed my calling it seems. It is so peaceful out here now.
Some, where so obviously waiting in the nest to attack me. You have been so obvious.
Colorado, Maine, Las Vegas, New Jersey and Florida, everyone of you came out.
#9 Aug 7, 2013
I dont think Lynch gets it. In this era the city needs to bank as much money as it can so there will be enough for the next generation. We are the ones that have to take the hit because our past leaders from 10, 20 and even 50 years never did anything to save money. WE ARE THE ONES THAT NEED TO TAKE THE HIT.
Lynch needs to start thinking about 10-20 years from now. Dont think about tomorrow, next year or even 2-3 years from now. Remember we are the ones that have to take the hit and pay for our past leaders mistakes.
Again this is part of the crab mentality that Lynch has. This term is broadly associated with short-sighted, non-constructive thinking rather than a unified, long-term, constructive mentality.
Lynch needs to overcome temptation and instant gratification. This can be seen in the popular Marshmallow test. Sure it is easy to have the marshmallow now (otherwise spend money now) instead of holding on to it (saving money) and actually getting more later on.
Sorry Lynch you cannot have it now. A strong leader knows this and will not give in to citizens that cannot see the big picture.
The problem with Lynch is he can restrain himself and would not have any discipline when it comes to the budget. He wants it now or even a few years from now but he cannot wait 20 years from now. Why 20 years? Because our expenses have been adding up longer than 20 years ago since the 60s and 70s and no Mayor did anything about it until now and she has to keep doing it for a long time.
#10 Aug 7, 2013
Mr Lynch
Here is one small question OK
How many names do you use on these topic? Just in this one I count YOU have used TWO different names and writing 5 out of 7 posts.
#11 Aug 7, 2013
Well at least she has a resume. Do you want to put yours out for the public to see? I'd like to read it.(Go ahead and call me all kinds of insulting names. I've gotten used to it). Lay it out there snitch boy and don't say 'I'm a good listener!'. My dog is a good listener but I doubt she can run a city.
#12 Aug 7, 2013
I almost had milk come out of my nose when I watched the FSU video of you. When asked about your qualifications you were like ummmm well I'm a good listener. Great, so we know you can hear what else........crickets.

So we inflate everyones salaries ? Is this how we do it? We allow everything to go to shit? So it cost more to repair because of neglect? This is good management?
Ya, this is the way successful businesses do it, huh?
Lets raise the salary of the mayor from $50,000 to $100,000. Lets give the fire Chief a $70,000 salary increase and the Chief. Lets pad everyones retirement.
#16 Aug 7, 2013

im sill trolling too

Lets have a party
#19 Aug 7, 2013
I would rather pay for someone's inflated salary then for the welfare people and other people who don't want to get a job.(pointing at you).
How much did it cost the taxpayer's for your prison housing?
#20 Aug 7, 2013
I sense some hostility from you tonight. What is wrong? Did I put you on the spot with questions that you were uncomfortable with answering?
This cannot be who I think it is, no way. But if it is it is an awesome cover, who would ever think? Talk about undercover work.
Lunenburg or Lancaster? Is this true? You really do not live in Fitchburg? Talk about non disclosure.Wow
#21 Aug 7, 2013
I cannot get over who this is! Wow. What a cover. If anyone knew your career would be over. Holy cow. Well at least your answering the questions somewhere. You have done a good job on 50% of concerns but you have dropped the ball on the other 50%.
One thing I have to say is that you double crossed me. Backstabbed me. I was going on your encouragement and when it hit the fan you immediately turned on me.
I still would be one of your campaign managers on your next step but you have to provide for a true better and safer Fitchburg. Then you own everything.
I still am in shock over who this is. OMG. Well I wish you the best and you need to be nicer to people.

A section of a concrete pillar known as a tetrapod fell on the shoulder of South Tacoma Way around 2 p.m. today. This occurred during demolition activities on the Interstate 5/State Route 16 Eastbound Nalley Valley project. A safety buffer was in place, per standard practice, at the time. Traffic was safely rerouted around the construction zone. No one was injured. The fallen tetrapod, one of many that held up the old Nalley Valley bridge, ruptured a water line. A natural gas line is suspected to be compromised. Utility and emergency responders are on the scene to ensure safety. Washington State Department of Transportation and contractor Mowat Construction have stopped demolition pending a thorough review of the operation.

He's Injuring Others! What do I do????
I'm really worried and bit freaked out. I've been lurking on this forum for awhile and regret that this is the topic of my first post.
My GSD, Roscoe, attacked 3 dogs today. He bit and drew blood on two of them, seriously injuring one of those two.
We were at a dog park playing fetch far away from any other dogs when a blue heeler suddenly ran across the park and jumped at my dog. Roscoe attacked. The two had separated on their own in seconds. Neither dog was bleeding but we left.
Called up a friend who we have regular doggy play dates with to see if we could play with them since our dp time got cut short. I took Roscoe and my other dog Annie over there to play. They have a 1yr old Great Dane, Brutus, and all the dogs get on great. Another playmate, a GSD, arrived later too. Roscoe was avoiding Brutus for some reason but playing with the GSD. Brutus would try and play with Roscoe but Ros would turn and bark at him. Normally he and Brutus can't get enough of each other...
A long story short we noticed a bloody spot on the Brutus's side. Looked like he'd been nipped. He went inside to get cleaned up. While the Brutus was inside I was talking with the other GSD owner when suddenly our dogs went for each other. Both GSDs had been by their respective owners' sides and then suddenly there was a snarling mass of fur between us two owners.
The other GSD is a female and got severely bitten on the nose. Part of her nose was hanging off by the time we got them separated. They rushed her into a car to take to the vet. I haven't heard from them yet about her current condition.
Roscoe was fine. No cuts or scraps I could find. He went over to go play with my other dog and acted fine. We came back home and he's acting normal. I'm scared to leave him with my other dog unsupervised though....
Roscoe has never shown any aggression previously. I've had him since he was a puppy; he's two now. He's never bitten another dog or been attacked before. He and my eskie, Annie, get on great. I'm just really freaked out.
I called my family to ask for advice and Dad says to euthanize him. 'Once a dog attacks other dogs it's only a matter of time before he attacks you.' I think that sounds a bit extreme. I love Roscoe. He's never been any trouble before. Today though, fighting with the heeler, nipping the dane, and then mauling the GSD...I'm at a loss.
Is it safe to leave him alone with Annie? Is he 'safe'? It's the sudden aggressive change in personality that really worries me. I don't know if I can trust this new development. Please help!

(1983 quotes found)
"Friends, I agree with you in Providence; but I believe in the Providence of the most men, the largest purse, and the longest cannon"
"It is easy to get everything you want, provided you first learn to do without the things you cannot get"
"Order your soul; reduce your wants; live in charity; associate in Christian community; obey the laws; trust in Providence."
"The longer I live, the more faith I have in Providence, and the less faith in my interpretation of Providence"
"The truth is this: The march of Providence is so slow and our desires so impatient; the work of progress is so immense and our means of aiding it so feeble; the life of humanity is so long, that of the individual so brief, that we often see only the ebb of the advancing wave and are thus discouraged. It is history that teaches us to hope."
"I did not know the woman soul, that crowning gift of Providence to man, which, if we do not ourselves degrade it, will set an edge to all that is good in us. I did not know how the love of a woman will tinge a man's whole life and every action with unselfishness. I did not know how easy it is to be noble when some one else takes it for granted that one will be so; or how wide and interesting life becomes when viewed by four eyes instead of two."
"Acting provides the fulfillment of never being fulfilled. You're never as good as you'd like to be. So there's always something to hope for."
"Photography has the capacity to provide images of man and his environment that are both works of art and moments in history."
"We will never have real safety and security for wage earners unless we provide for safety and security for the wage payers and wage savers."

$4.9 Million Cemetery Renovation Project to Start in February
Honoring the men and women who served in our nation's military is the focus of the most ambitious renovation project in the Central Texas State Veterans Cemetery's 10-year history.
Scheduled to begin in February, a $4.9 million expansion project will involve the installation of concrete support sleeves for existing and future headstones, the addition of 4,000 new burial crypts, and the replacement of capstones on the columbaria.
Resodding the turf, planting new landscape features such as bushes and trees, dedicating a special area for scattering of ashes, and repaving the surface of the memorial walkway are also in the plans for the estimated year-long project, funded by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
"This isn't only an aesthetic improvement project," said Eric Brown, director of State Veterans Cemeteries for the Texas Veterans Land Board. "Our main goal is for this cemetery to stand the test of time. We're working hard to ensure that future generations may come here and continue the tradition of honoring those who served our country."
Located on a gently rolling hillscape in Killeen, the headstones often require straightening and additional sod for support. The concrete sleeves will keep the headstones from shifting or tipping, Brown said.
Columbaria (small buildings where ashes and remains are kept) will undergo repairs to the capstones atop each unit. This will all be done without accessing the interred remains – only the capstones will be removed.
"A few months is a small portion of time to make these resting places lasting memorials for generations to come," Brown added. "We want to stress that in no way will the remains of our heroes be moved or even touched."
Honor is hard at work at the Central Texas State Veterans Cemetery in Killeen. The cemetery is located on 174 acres previously part of Fort Hood and donated by the federal government. The construction of the cemetery was made possible through the coordination of area veterans groups, the city of Killeen, the federal government, and the VLB.
The initial phase of development included 7,620 gravesites on 31 acres. The cemetery will eventually be capable of providing a final resting place to more than 50,000 veterans and their family members.
WHO: Texas VLB, the VA, and staff of the Central Texas State Veterans Cemetery
WHAT: $4.9 million renovation and expansion project
WHEN: February through November 2014 (estimated time)
WHERE: Central Texas State Veterans Cemetery in Killeen
WHY: To make sure memorials for Texas' heroes are preserved for generations

Dog adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
We will also be happy to accommodate visits by appointment. Our number is 757-357-9292
Upon approval of the application an adoption contract will be offered.
Our adoption fee is $150 per dog.
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

7 Benefits For Gay Married Couples Because of Supreme Court's DOMA Ruling
The Supreme Court's decision to strike down section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act means same-sex married couples in states where gay marriage is legal are now eligible for more than 1,000 federal benefits previously available only to husbands and wives.
The decision has implications for health insurance, death benefits, gift and estate taxes, social security, retirement and more.
1. Death Benefits — If a spouse in a same-sex marriage dies, the surviving partner can now roll over the funds in his or her spouse's qualified retirement account into an IRA. Before the decision, the surviving partner had to take the money out of the spouse's account at the time of death, often incurring penalties for taking the money out early, according to Virginia McGarrity, attorney with the firm Robinson and Cole.
2. Health Care — DOMA prevented same-sex married couples from receiving a variety of health care benefits. Same-sex spouses will now be eligible for COBRA health care coverage and HIPAA privacy protections said McGarrity. In addition, healthcare benefits for an employee's same-sex spouse are no longer taxable. That could save some couples $1,500 to $2,000 a year, according to Tina Salandra, a CPA with Numerical LLC.
3. Gift and Estate Taxes — A spouse in a gay marriage will no longer have to pay a gift tax when giving assets, support, cash and/or property over $14,000 a year to his or her spouse. Now a same-sex partner can put his or her spouse on the title of a home, car, stock brokerage account, or 401(k) without triggering gift or estate taxes, according to Tina Salandra.
4. Social Security — If a spouse in a same-sex marriage dies, the surviving spouse will be eligible for Social Security survivor benefits.
5. Veterans Benefits — Surviving spouses will also be eligible for veterans pension benefits. In addition, married same-sex couples will be able to be buried together in veterans' cemeteries, according to the opinion written by Justice Anthony Kennedy.
6. Dangerous Jobs — Workers in certain industries, like mining and public safety, are eligible for special benefits. According to a report from the U.S. General Accounting Office, the spouse of a coal miner who dies of black lung disease or of a public safety officer killed in the line of duty are eligible for benefits. Now, surviving spouses in same-sex marriages would also be eligible.
7. Copyright Laws — The same GAO report also points out that widows or widowers of the creator of a copyrighted work are given renewal or termination rights in some circumstances under the Copyright Act. This will now apply to surviving partners in a same-sex union.

Irishwoman's diary: an audience with a president
An Irishwoman's Diary: John F Kennedy's surprise greeting in Limerick
John F Kennedy, accompanied by the mayor of Limerick, Frances Condell, walks towards the platform at Greenpark Racecourse, Limerick.
Mae Leonard with fellow members of Limerick Corporation staff, after President John F Kennedy had left Limerick.
It was June 1963 when the Frances Condell, Mayor of Limerick stood before us and announced, "He's coming".
There were stars dancing in her eyes and her cheeks were dimpled to capacity. John Fitzgerald Kennedy, president of the United States of America, had been persuaded to include Limerick on his Irish itinerary. And now there was breathless amount of work to be done. We, the staff of Limerick Corporation, were suddenly tossed into a whirlpool of activity. The running of the city had to be put aside. It was all hands on deck.
In a matter of minutes the venue for the president's reception was chosen – Greenpark Racecourse was the only place large enough to accommodate the expected crowds. Engineers and maintenance workers were detailed to design and construct a platform worthy of this most powerful of men. The old reliable department store, Cannock's, long gone now, was given the task of decorating that platform. The president's Co Limerick cousins, the Fitzgeralds, had to be contacted by telephone – there was no time to post gilt-edged invitations. The city councillors' ceremonial robes were taken out and dusted down.
The ancient, not to mention very valuable, mayoral chain was retrieved from the vault and the silver ceremonial maces had to be polished.
And then there was the gift. What do you give to a man who has everything? The mayor insisted that it had to be something synonymous with Limerick. But what?
A Limerick lace christening robe made by the nuns at the Good Shepherd Convent was the choice for the Kennedys' expected baby. My mission was to organise packaging worthy of such a delicate gift and I was dispatched to the nuns at the Presentation Convent. In a parlour full of bees-waxed furniture, the reverend mother and three nuns constructed a white quilted box.
It was, indeed, a worthy receptacle for the delicate lace christening gown but it needed a bit of colour. "A bow?" I suggested and no sooner said than done – a lavish pink satin bow was fixed to the centre of cover.
On Saturday morning, dressed in my new tweed suit, I was back at my desk dealing with everyday Limerick Corporation inquiries. Would I get a chance to see the president? My boss shook his head, saying, "Somebody has to man the phones."And in that vast empty building, I was deserted and on the verge of tears, when suddenly the big front door swung open. It was the city accountant.
"Not going to the ball, Cinderella?"
"No sir, the phones."
"Ah. I see. Well, let me be your fairy godfather. I left a bundle of nametags in my office for the seats on the platform. I need someone to put them in place. Could you possibly . . .?" Could I ever?
A VIP car zoomed me up O'Connell Street, swung around the Crescent and into Greenpark Racecourse right to the base of the president's platform. My fairy godfather caught my arm. "You have 10 minutes to get this done then disappear into the crowd."
I didn't need second bidding.
But as I moved along the rows of seats, sticking name tags on each one, suddenly there was a chug-chug-chugging sound that got louder and louder. Two helicopters hovered overhead. The mayor led red-cloaked councillors to line up on both sides of the red carpet leading from the platform to the helicopter pad. I made for the steps at the back of the platform to lose myself in the crowd as I had been instructed.
Just as I reached the top of the steps, a trench-coated guy halted me in my tracks.
"Sorry Ma'am, nobody moves off this stand until the president does." I paused. My head buzzed with fright. I had been warned to disappear. Now I was very visible. I did not know what to do. My fairy godfather had vanished.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy climbed the steps of the platform in Limerick to find this office-junior (me) the only one up there to greet him.
He stopped. I was rooted to the spot as I felt the full-force blast of that famous Kennedy charisma in his broad smile. I still rue the fact that I was wearing gloves when he reached for, and shook my hand before he stepped forward to receive a resounding céad míle fáilte from the people of Limerick. The mayor, aldermen and councillors of Limerick Corporation followed him and sat on the tagged seats.
Still in a bit of a daze, I made for the steps at the back of the platform, but that trench-coat blocked me once more. There are pictures of that historic day when John F Kennedy, stood on that platform in Limerick. There is a little shadowy figure at the back – that's me. I had a birds-eye view of the president as he moved forward to meet his Fitzgerald relatives.
In the sunshine and the joy of that day nobody could predict that six months later he would be dead and the Limerick lace christening robe would never be worn.

Dispensary Planning Home Delivery of Marijuana
PORTSMOUTH, R.I. (AP) _ A co-owner of Rhode Island's planned second medical marijuana dispensary says he'd like to start a home delivery service.
Seth Bock, co-owner of the Greenleaf Compassionate Care Center in Portsmouth tells the Providence Journal that he would staff delivery trucks with retired police officers or others with a background in law enforcement.
Dara Chadwick, Health Department spokeswoman, says state law permits the delivery of marijuana to registered patients. She says the proposal would be reviewed as part of the inspection process for Greenleaf.
The dispensary is still under construction. Bock says he's hoping to schedule the final walkthrough for state health officials and police on May 15.

Savon De Marsaille
Big blocks of Savon de Marseille olive oil based soap have been crafted for one thousand years in the South of France. Since 1688 French law has declared that only soaps that are produced by following certain ancient methods, and containing only the purest ingredients, shall bear the famous mark "Savon de Marseille."
It takes the Maitre de Savon (soapmaster) two weeks to make Marseille Soap. The delicate mixture of olive and vegetable oils, alkaline ash from sea plants and Mediterranean Sea salted water are heated for ten days in antique cauldrons.
Only a few savonneries near Marseille still make this legendary soap in the traditional manner. But Savon de Marseille is once again being rediscovered for its extraordinary purity and gentle skin care, and its popularity is again on the rise worldwide. (Not scented)
300mg is a 2.75" cube
Please specify scent and size.
New orders shipping after July 15h.

Ok I have a 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer OZ. It comes stock with the 4g94 engine. Not much to it and no one really makes anything for it. A friend of mine who is big into the tuner scene and has even done 2 swaps, including an RB26 swap into a 240sx so Im confident in his knowledge.My friend told me that I could swap a 4g63 turbo equiped motor and trans out of a 96 or newer model eclipse gst into my car without any modifications. He said the engine and tranny would bolt right up into my Lancer. My question here is, is this right. As I said previously, Im confident in my friends knowledge but I would like to get a few opinions. Would this swap be a direct fit?
Well I see a lot of views but no replys. Is this project really that much of a lost cause? Or are yall just hating on the FWD factor?
^ all the views and no replys are because this forum has a lot of morons on it who probably didn't understand what you were saying. Anyway, the swap should definitely be achievable. The only dilemma you might run into is needing custom fabricated motor mounts. Other than that the bay has plenty of room for a 4G63 from a GST. If you are going to spend that kind of money go ahead and throw a LSD into the tranny while you're at it. Sounds like a fun project, and when its done the car will be a nice little sleeper.There are a few people on here who hate on FWD platforms, but I'm a front wheel person, and I will say it is not comparable to RWD and AWD in terms of grip, but if you know how to drive it you can get great lap times at the track. Even in autoX a lot of the cars that get the best times (ie Mini Cooper S's) are FWD. My FWD 07 Civic Si might not be that great in straight line racing from a dig, but around a track, or in the canyons I have no problem keeping up with other drive train platforms.

Summer in the City
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Summer in the City" is a very popular song about summer. It was by The Lovin' Spoonful. Many other musicians have covered the song. It was released in 1966, at which time it hit #1 across the charts of Billboard Hot 100. The instrumental bridge of the song features car honking, starting with a Volkswagen Beetle horn and then ending with jackhammer sounds. These sounds were included to represent what summer in the city sounds like. The song was featured in several movies.

Crown Moulding - funky corner
Hi everyone,
Because of a few reasons I am left with the below situation. It is a right angle wall/ceiling joining a wall that is say 45 degrees. I need to join the corners with crown. :huh: Any ideas to make this look good? BTW, I am going to re-cut the existing piece as it's not long enough anyway.
Thanks for anyone help you can provide.
I always built a little soffit like cornice to go across the angle which will square it up and then you will be able to run the ceiling mold on around like it was normal.
Thanks Jim. That idea has been brought up before. That is probably the best option as I stink at regular corners, let alone this one. :thumbup:
It is a 90 degree corner so a standard outside corner will work save for the wall on the right in the pic. For the piece of crown on the left I would cut the angle a little bit less than standard and cut the angle on the piece on the right a little bit more to accommodate the bottom wall angle. If you align the bottom corners tightly then the rest of the miter will work regardless of how the wall angles behind the crown, the outside corner of the crown will float past the wall angle. The trick here is to just think about the top and bottom of the outside corner of the crown and aligning those two points. Use small test pieces (template)to get it right and figure out the exact angles and then cut your final crown pieces. Plan on caulk to be used on the underside against the wall for the piece on the right because of the wall angle.
There is a little 3/8" or 1/4" flat section along the bottom backside of the crown where it beds against the wall. The top edge of the 3/8" flat will be where you want the two crowns to align when forming the outside corner. This is because of the wall angle on the right and the piece on the right at the bottom backside where it meets the wall will really only rest against the top edge of that 3/8" flat wall bed, do you understand?
I'm not seeing how that's going to work either.
measure and cut 50 times! that is how it is going to work. A half day corner :whistling2:
seriously though, I'll refer back to the 3/8"flat on the bottom backside of the crown. If the OP were to bed a longer than needed piece of crown against the ceiling and wall on the left side and scribe with a pencil the 3/8 flat on the backside ( think plumb and not following the right wall angle) and mark on the wall corner where the top of that 3/8 flat planes across it, this is where the measurement for both pieces will be to. that is the trick, the one point where both crowns will meet at that outside corner. this can only work because the ceiling is level around the corner and the only discrepancy is the angle of the wall on the right. The crown on the right will just bed against the wall at the top of the 3/8 flat ( pivot if you were ) and the rest of the 3/8 will be plumb and at a 90 degree to the ceiling, not following the wall angle. The right piece will also rely more on the ceiling to bed against whereas the left piece can be bedded against both wall and ceiling correctly.
What you are describing is what jiju1943 is referring to as a soffit. When the spring angle changes on the wall which is not plumb then a "filler" piece must be added (the difference between the rake and plumb) or the molding must be a different size, there is a way of calculating that change of size but that is not what we are addressing here.
It can certainly be done no problem, I've crowned a room with multiple vaulted ceilings and cabinets involved and it was all stain grade. every outside corner going around those vaulted ceilings and cabinets was a major pain and a major learning experience..
or either rip some of the back of the crown out just at the top back portion. I do not think the spring angle of the crown is less than the wall angle, they actually look really similar in angle so the crown may just lay nicely against the angled wall. There is also a gap on the angled wall at ceiling height so that might accommodate the crown a bit..
Thanks for the discussion guys. Based on my crown cutting skills, it probably would be best if I just made a small soffit and positioned the crown like the others.
Honestly, I'm not really following or seeing how these two pieces could fit together and not look like garbage.
cut 2 scraps at a 45 and test fit them. i see no reason why regular cuts wont work , you are making a 90 degree turn. the sloped wall will not make a difference as the crown angles out anyway to clear the top of it. why is the piece on the right flat against the ceiling? you will have to recut the piece on the left tho to a 45.
Hi Danny,
If I don't do it that way the bottom of the crown will be in the air and not against anything.
why would the bottom of it not ba against the wall? just put it against the wall like the other piece. nothing you can cut will fit the piece that is there now. there might be a slight gap because of the slant of the wall , but nothing that can't be caulked.

The scene was comical.
Every time one of the 4- or 5-year-olds caught a ball in our park district's sports program, the parents all gleefully cheered "Good job!"
When a child missed the ball, we all said, "Aw! Good try!"
After thinking more about our parental behavior that day, I decided to pay attention to just how often I said "good job" in my daily mothering.
Turns out—a lot.
I said it to my 2-year-old for picking up his toys. I said it to my 4-year-old for coloring perfectly within the lines. It came out repeatedly during dinner time.
I sometimes said it in that perky annoying voice that makes people cringe. I may have even said it to my co-workers, and worse, to my husband.
But hey, positive reinforcement is a good thing, right?
Not always, according to child developmental specialist and parent educator Betsy Brown Braun, who believes repeatedly saying "good job" to a child is "poisonous" and sabotages their self-esteem.
Furthermore, "60 Minutes" recently aired a piece on how children who have been coddled with gratuitous praise all their lives grow up to be "narcissistic praise hounds" who can't handle failure and have unrealistic expectations in the work force.
The piece blamed everyone from Mister Rogers, who repeatedly told children "You're special," to parents today, who go over-the-top to ensure children never feel disappointment, such as in sports leagues where every player gets a trophy.
No one advocates never saying "good job." But there is a trick to how and when to say it, experts say.
"Parents are saying 'good job' with the best of intentions ... but they can do better than that," says Braun, author of the new book, Just Tell Me What to Say: Sensible Tips and Scripts for Perplexed Parents ($15.95, Harper Collins). "If you can become a more deliberate parent and think about what you're saying, it's more effective."
What's wrong with it?
What's wrong with saying good job a lot to your child? For one thing, it teaches a child to look to you for approval, rather than being proud of him or herself, Braun says.
"We want the child to kick the ball and think, 'Yeah! I did it!' Not to look over to the sidelines to see if you're proud," Braun says.
The words themselves are judgmental, leaving children to mistakenly conclude that if they're not doing a good job, then they must be doing a bad job, adds Braun, who designated an entire chapter of her book to "The problem with praise."
The reason most parents say "good job" a lot is because they want to give their child self-esteem and positive reinforcement. But Braun says self-esteem comes from working hard and accomplishment, not praise from others. Even if a child isn't doing well, parents need to curb their temptation to say "good try" and let their kids struggle, so they can learn to work hard and overcome it.
"Saying 'good job' a lot sabotages their risk-taking," Braun says. "A child thinks, 'If I get a good job every time I kick the soccer ball, but I don't get good jobs when I play volleyball, then I'm going to play soccer and not try at volleyball."
If it's said too much, the meaning of "good job" gets watered down in a child's mind. That's why Shelly Jagiello, of Mount Prospect, tries her best to save her "good job" praise for the times her 3-year-old daughter goes above and beyond expectations.
"I want to reinforce that she's doing the right thing," says Jagiello, a middle school teacher. "I do say it a lot. But I'm not saying it, like, 'Good job you brushed your hair.' And I make sure it goes the other way, too. When she's wrong, I let her know it."
Excessive good jobbing might be a generational thing. Grandmothers say their grandchildren are told "good job" far more than they ever heard it.
"I had my kids during the movement of self-esteem. But when I was a kid, it was all about hard work. You worked hard for what you got," says retired teacher and grandmother of five, Joyce Gryglas, of Arlington Heights. "It's not like that as much today."
Braun agrees, saying this generation of parents is over-achievers who are trying too hard to give their children self-esteem rather than teaching them how to develop it themselves.
Christine McGrath, a child psychotherapist with Fox Valley Institute for Growth and Wellness in Naperville, says parents often say "good job" as a way to make their child feel better, not because they believe their child did something praise-worthy. For example, if a boy didn't play well in his baseball game, but his mom says, "good job" as he walks off the field, it can actually make him feel worse.
"That's where it becomes a disservice," says McGrath. "You're better off saying, 'Maybe if you practice a little more, you can have a better game next time.' Because if you don't teach them to manage disappointment as a child, how are they going to manage it as an adult?"
If parents tell a child one thing, but everyone—including their peers—knows it's not true, a child will learn to doubt their parents' sincerity. Honesty needn't be "you stunk," but encouragement, like, "Maybe you can practice that" or just a simple "Well, everyone has good days and bad days."
Palatine mom Jennie Steffus says she felt pressure to say "good job" to her 6- and 1-year-olds because she's read so many parenting articles and books that stress the importance of positive parenting.
However, in the past few months, Steffus realized her frequent "good job" comments weren't helping her daughter. When they'd play board games, for example, her daughter would have meltdowns if she didn't win.
"There are only so many times you can pretend to lose at Hi-Ho Cherrio and Candyland. Soon, it's like, hey, this is life," Steffus says. "You know, you can't do well at everything all the time and that's OK."
A few months ago, Steffus made a conscious effort to stop saying "good job" so much and give praise to her children in other ways. Instead of focusing on winning or being the best, her emphasis now is on having fun. Instead of "good job," she'll say things like, "Isn't this fun?"
"It's helping (my daughter) manage her expectations a little better," says Steffus. "Sometimes, you're not always at the top of your game. Teaching her that has had a positive effect on her behavior."
When 'good job' is OK
It is perfectly acceptable to say "good job" frequently to infants and toddlers who are learning to do things like walk and eat and get dressed, experts say. That type of positive reinforcement helps children in that age learn. It's when a child becomes self-aware, usually around the time they enter preschool, that a parent should be careful about overdoing their praise, McGrath says.
An exception is with children with special clinical needs, such as ADHD, depression or low social confidence. They need to hear "good job" more than most children, McGrath says.
Dan Barten, a father of two from Wauconda, found himself saying "good job" to his daughter with Down Syndrome much more than he did his older son. But that extra praise helped her learn, he says.
"A disabled child has to work harder and focus and be taught to get daily tasks completed. So they need to get a 'good job' more often to assure them they are doing the correct thing," says Barten, who heads up Living Legacy, a non-profit organization that helps special needs families. "Sometimes a good job isn't a good job, but it's a child doing the best job they possibly can."
What should you say?
So if good job is bad, what's good? Experts say "good job" is acceptable in moderation if it's heartfelt and includes specific actions, such as "Good job putting on your coat by yourself."
What's better, they say, is to start sentences with the word "You" rather than "I." So a better choice is "You put your coat on by yourself. You didn't need help. Yesterday you weren't able to do it, but today you were."
By including specifics, such as "You picked a nice shade of red" instead of "Good job coloring," it will provide a child with encouragement—what other pretty shades can I pick?—and gives the subliminal message that you're paying attention.
Specific praise like this is valued by adults, too. Think about it: a general, "Good job with the fundraiser" doesn't carry as much weight as "You really found a way to get people motivated."
Another tip the experts offer is to pick and chose positive encouragement opportunities so children aren't always expecting a "good job" from you.
"Praising our kids when they least expect it is very powerful stuff," Braun says.
Perhaps the most important rule is to never say "good job" when a child's done a mediocre or bad job. If you heap that praise on them and it's undeserved, they'll know it.
"You have to have honesty in your relationship," says Arlington Heights grandmother Ann Paine. "Otherwise, what you say won't have any meaning."
Instead of saying 'Good job,' say ...
• "Oh my gosh, you kicked the ball all the way down the field!"
• "Look at how strong you are. You carried that heavy bag inside by yourself."
• "You're sitting so still. Wow, it's a pleasure to sit at the table with you when you're sitting so still."
• "Yesterday you were afraid, but today you were brave."
• "You put that on all by yourself."
• Start sentences with "you" rather than "I."
• If you still say good job, add on something specific, such as "Good job tying your shoes by yourself."

Mass atrocities are operationally unique; this important recognition has paved the path for MARO's adoption into relevant military doctrine and its subsequent—and no less consequential— consideration at the top levels of policy-making. The Workshop convened in December 2010 was an essential step in addressing, among others, what Sarah Sewall called the "Inchoate Middle Ground" between mass atrocity prevention and response, a challenge being tackled presently at different levels and bureaus of the U.S. Government.

I-Team: High-Priced Gifts Lavished on High Rollers
LAS VEGAS -- Nevada's gaming industry is still trying to climb out of the hole created by the recent recession, which means the competition among casinos for the loyalties of so-called whales is ferocious.
Whales is the term for the highest of high rollers. How far will casinos go to land a whale, and what is Las Vegas doing to cater to less-wealthy visitors?
Here's a trivia question. Which casino game had the lowest win percentage for the house last year? The answer is bingo. Nevada casinos won a mere 3 cents for every dollar wagered on bingo, a game often played by small stakes gamblers. At the other end of the spectrum, the game that won the most money for casinos is baccarat, which is now the most lucrative table game of all and a favorite of high rollers.
The gambling explosion in Macau has created a whole new customer base for Las Vegas. Asian high rollers are the ultimate whales and Las Vegas casinos will do almost anything to bag them.
Baccarat Dethrones Blackjack as King of the Strip
"They come specifically to party. They come in groups. It's a very social scene," said Bill Hornbuckle, president of MGM Resorts International.
A new generation has discovered Las Vegas. They come, not for the gambling, but for the nightclubs, or dining or shopping.
Hornbuckle said his company's data base now has 60 million names, and knows 5 million of those pretty well. The biggest change over the last decade is that the average age of a Las Vegas visitor has dropped by six years. Casino companies have hired armies of data crunchers to try and predict what the younger want.
"It's being predictive. We've gotten very sophisticated about predictive analytics. We have a couple of PHD's who work for us, trying to grind out, not what's happening historically, but what you are going to do next," Hornbuckle said.
The new visitor will plop down thousands for a table in a nightclub, whether able to afford it or not.
"This group, this dynamic is, I've got $30,000 to my name. If I go to Vegas and spend $10,000, meh, I'll make some more."
But the money won't necessarily be splurged on gambling. The numbers show the gambling budget for an average visitor was $236 last year, down from a high of $277 dollars in 2007. The low-end customers, so called grind players, have returned but are spending less, so budget properties like Circus Circus or the Riviera are still struggling. Mid-level properties have recovered, Hornbuckle said, because corporate America is back, spending money on conventions and the high roller customers never left.
Here's an astonishing number -- in the MGM's vast array of gaming properties, a mere 4 percent of the customers account for 65 percent of total gaming revenues. Four percent of the gamblers generate 65 percent of the take.
"And of the 65, one percent create 90 percent of the 65. It is staggering, a staggering piece of business," Hornbuckle said.
The competition between rival casinos for the play of the so-called whales, the highest of high rollers. Is intense, Hornbuckle said. Macau sees far more gambling action than Las Vegas, but Las Vegas is still the ultimate challenge for Asian whales.
"A whale to Las Vegas is not an unknown commodity. Some of these individuals are prepared to lose millions of dollars in any given weekend. So whether that is an airplane to get them here, or a special suite, or dinner with someone unique that they want to have dinner with -- a celebrity -- whatever it takes -- that is legal -- we're in," he said.
In general, casinos don't say much about the special treatment they lavish on high rollers, but some stories leak out. A Chinese businessman from Mexico named Mr. Ye lost $120 million in one year at the Venetian. He was treated like royalty and was showered with gifts including a Lamborghini and a Rolls Royce.
Casinos also cater to gambling superstitions. Remember the gigantic lion that used to be the entrance to the MGM Grand? It was torn down because Chinese gamblers considered it unlucky. Hotels are designed with customers' peccadillos in mind.
"They hire fung shui experts to see how Asian players will appreciate their surroundings. The number 4 is unlucky in China so a lot of buildings don't have 4th floors," said Dave Schwartz, a gaming analyst.
Whether it's a millionaire gambler from Iowa or a billionaire whale from Shanghai, the trick is to make them all feel welcome and spoiled, whether that means special mansions or villas, discounts on gambling losses, it really boils down to service.
"These places aren't built on us giving away the store where we can't expect a reasonable return," Hornbuckle said. "Whether it's a cup of coffee or a Ferrari, a cup of coffee is a cup of coffee and a Ferrari is a Ferrari, but I can get them a lot of different places. It's about how I make you feel when you come here."
Although personalized service is considered to be of extreme importance in making customers happy, in some ways, Las Vegas has less of it than before. Technology changes, combined with the recession, caused a major drop in the number of casino employees on the Strip.
Between 2001 and 2012, the number of jobs have dropped from 60,000 to about 43,000 and those jobs won't be coming back.

A Song for Nettie Johnson (original 2001; edition 2003)
by Gloria Sawai
Work details
A Song for Nettie Johnson by Gloria Sawai (2001)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I didn't realize when I picked up this book that it was a collection of nine short stories, six of which are what I would call 'connected stories' focused on the inhabitants of small Stone Creek, Saskatchewan.
The first story, A Song for Nettie Johnson, more of a novella at some 90 pages in length, was a fascinating story about small town opinions, self-righteousness, damaged souls and the ability to reach for something, even if it frightens you. It was also a great introduction to the inhabitants of Stone Creek and the next five connected stories. Half way through the book I was happily engrossed in the lives of both the children and the adults as they grappled with issues from alcoholism and religion to death and illness. The storytelling was fresh, war, and inviting.
The last three stories were not connected to the lives of the inhabitants of Stone Creek, and for me, that is where it all started to fall apart. I enjoyed the story Hosea's Children - a mother's journey to try and find the husband that left her years ago only to reconnect with the daughter that had left earlier that same year - found 'The Dolphins to be alright but nothing special and was left completely baffled by the last story in the collection.
I think the collection would have been better if the book had stopped with just the six stories connected to Stone Creek. The last three stories are almost tag ons or after thoughts that made it more difficult for me to relate to them with the same strength I did with the earlier stories.
With its drug store, churches, café, beerhall, and funeral parlour strung out along Main Street, Stone Creek, the setting for six of the nine stories collected in A Song for Nettie Johnson, could be any small town in Canada.
