Hugh-isms — Am I Alone?; Regarding The Kona TSA Worker's Inadequate Sentencing
By Hugh Clark
By Hugh Clark
There are not to many things that I agree with when it comes to Hugh…..but this is one of them. The TSA needs to be groped, poked, and frisked after each screening one day a week by a handicapped passenger. Maybe that would give them a feeling of what they put us travelers through every time we go anywhere.
The fact of having a TSA thief on the payroll should have outraged our government to the point that they should have made an example out of this thief. Why was it not done….because somebody was saving face….pure and simple. Look for who would take the biggest hit on this and you will find the real squirrel. [Who is at the top of homeland security?]
The lack
It's a pleasure to find myself agreeing with Hugh & the Lack!
TSA in Hawaii is outrageous, unlike the respectful staff found in most airports. There's little real risk of terrorism here, and they use their position to fulfill their childhood bully dreams, and to rip off visitors at great expense to the rest of us. I have been personally insulted and abused by an aggressive, rude Hilo TSA agent while on the way to my Mom's funeral. Thanks for keeping me safe, guys!
Hugh, you are spot on with this one. This TSA employee should be held to the highest standard, a Federal Employee entrusted with powers that go way beyond even Police powers and she abused them by stealing money. Unfortunately the Court only judged her on that particular sting case of $200. If the sum total of all of her thefts were considered she would have probably gotten a much stiffer penalty. I suppose the TSA Union is very strong and protects it's own.
The first mistake here is assuming TSA provides anything remotely close to airline security – while the second mistake here is assuming this particular guard is any different from the rest.
I travel A LOT! (Unfortunately way too much time off island!)
When America as a Country, as a Government, and as political body grasps that airline security can be nothing more than ethnic/racial profiling – we will get somewhere with airline security. Take the lead from Israel. Interview each traveler for about 2 minutes, watch body language and have about 3 dozen laser sighted sharp shooters in place throughout the airport.
The sad reality of this is her "theft†was more than her gross wages for the day.
Hold om yo your chest Hugh we agree! Ive had the TSA rob my bags, open my brother ashes after Dodo Mortuary and the TSA approved the urn. After descrating my brothers ashes they destroyed my new bags zipper.
When I pointed it's damage out, the Senior Fascist tried to intimidate me. If we want to save money and the Country get rid of the TSA amd the Patriot act. A LAW BOTH PARTIES RENEWED. THOUGH I BLAME gop SEN LINDSET GRAHAM OF SC. I want unregulated airlines. In Amsterdam , the PRC, and Israel they can gety it right. Under the new misnamed Patriot Act
OUR PC's OUR Phones Our shopping and travel are all monitored by RFID and magnetic xcanners the Govt. monitors you everyday.
I almost fell over cause I agree with some I usually don't. My fishing poles were broken and when I got to NZ I found out. the thug in hilo would not let me repack the holder when they were done ripping it up. In Auckland the NZ security was nice and polite. Then you went around the corner and the U.S. tsa was in the Auckland airport. They dumped peoples bags on the table and then left you to hurry up and repack. Some kiwis were in tears as they had never faced tsa before.
Tsa a unregulated agency on false assumptions that we are the bad ones.

I am not sure where to turn.
The ones I would avoid, personally, due to bad experiences were Dr. Rachelle Shaw and Dr. Hess.
I'm surprised to read that you didn't like Dr. Shaw, Blue Lotus. I absolutely love her and would recommend her to anyone! I guess maybe your personalities didn't mesh? I'm pretty certain that she does not use a papoose board but am also thinking that she does not take Medicaid. Frankly, though, I like her so much that I'd pay out of pocket to take my kids to her.
For the past couple of years, my kids have been seeing Dr. Stephen Cito, who practices with his son. Both are very good, the office staff is equally good, no papoose/restraints, parents are allowed and encouraged to be with kiddos, and they have been very good with my SN DD, too, which was something I was concerned about. They take Medicaid and are located in NE, near Eubank/Montgomery.
Kind regards,
Charlotte (6);Sophie (5) Down Syndrome & so beautiful! (9/08), & Duncan 8/26/09
We also use Dr. Tasker. We like him really well...but as parents who had a 2 yr old with LOTS of dental prob's., I liked that they also do in-house sedation.....after some traumatic experiences in CO as well as very real dental issue w/her, we appreciated their full range of services. We like him a lot...and also like that they have TV screens the kids can watch. Again, appreciation comes from trying to get work done on a screaming 2 yr old.
ABQ Snippet - when I took DD to see her, she blamed my extended nursing of DD for her teeth problems (she had some serious dental problems due to being born with thin enamel, just like my mother and probably myself, and unlike my son who doesn't have this issue at all. I nursed them both the same so that wasn't the problem). She was rude and arrogant and abrasive to me, and wanted us to not be in the room if she was to treat DD, which I didn't find acceptable since she was around 20-24 months at the time. Maybe it was a personality issue, I don't know. She, like Dr. Hess, may do just fine with older (over 5 years old) kids, but they just weren't a good fit for our family.
I've heard of a lot of bad experiences with Dr. Shaw, Cito, and even Dr. Tasker's office- he has a lot of other doctors working for him that are not actually pediatric specialists. I've heard Dr. Martinez is good.
We recently went to Dr. Sjostrom at Sandia Pediatric Dentistry, and I would highly recommend him. I am not sure if he takes medicaid, but I think he does. He spent a lot of time with my kids and answered all of my questions. It was a nice change from being rushed through like where we used to go. I definitely think it is important to do your homework on the doctor and staff. I take my kids to a pediatric dentist because they have extra training just like a pediatrician has more training and only treats kids, plus the office is more kid friendly.
My kids have Medicaid but we pay out of pocket and see Dr. Stanley Hess. He is an advocate of extended nursing.
This thread is perfect!
We currently see a wonderful Ped dentist but have only been going for 1 yr. At the first visit my kids had xrays and when we went last week they wanted to to them again and I declined, I think every 12 months is excessive when my kids have no problems. I was informed by the lady who made me sign the form that going longer than 12 months is "below the standard of care" and when I pressed about what would happen if I refused again in 6 mo she said they will no longer be able to see my kids...which is ridiculous since the ADA recommends 12-24 months as a range and says should be limited to only when necessary.
So, they will kick us out???? I haven't actually discussed it with the dentist but that's what she said...so I will be talking to him at the next appt and depending on what happens I will proceed from there.
Interestingly I had never taken my kids to the dentist (well, ds1 went once but the younger 2 had never been) and when I did for the first time I allowed the cleaning, xrays and flouride (even though we don't do flouridated water-need to research that more), older 2 ea had 1 small cavity, got it filled, then ds2 had another small cavity the next visit, had it filled, and now he has another small beginning cavity PLUS the enamel on 2 of his teeth is all of a sudden not growing properly...no problems before the dental visits and flouride. I don't feel sufficiently educated on this so I don't know what to think about it but it seems curious that his teeth would get worse AFTER going to the dentist right? Other 2 boys have no cavities or any issues at all. I am going to try MI paste without flouride, has anyone heard of that?
Thanks for the list, I might be interviewing new dentists in the near future.
We used MI Paste for a while when DD was little. I'm still not convinced that it helps (or hurts). I do know some people saw a vast improvement, so it might be worth a try.
If you are drinking any sort of city water (unless you have a filter system that removes fluoride), then you are drinking fluoridated water.
What really ended up helping us the most was seeing the dentist every 3-4 months for cleanings (since DD had HUGE dental issues, it was her Dentist that said he wanted to check up on her more often). We also give the kids liquid CLO (cod liver oil) every day, and they have really limited sugary treats. They also don't drink water with fluoride, and don't have any fluoride treatment at the dentist.
We also (as part of a different issue) changed our diets as a family to eating minimal to no processed foods, no wheat, no corn, potatoes or rice. I think it made a HUGE difference overall, but the results were slow to see (im months to years, rather than weeks).
DD's teeth have slowly gotten stronger, so she occasionally has a spot they keep an eye on, but no real cavities for a couple of years now.
Good luck on finding a new dentist, it sounds like the one you have isn't worth keeping.
FWIW, we still love Dr. Tasker. Over the years the office staff has been indifferent to a bit rude, and my kids refuse to see any of the other dentists that practice there. Dr. Tasker is still an awesome dentist though, and really tries to work with parents on what is best for the individual child rather than the self-interest of the doctor.

Despite Subsidies, Class Sizes Rise in California Schools
Posted on Nov 19, 2009
By Louis Freedberg and Hugo Cabrera, California Watch
(Page 2)
One purpose was to bring California's class sizes down — to get them in line with those of other states. That did happen in the elementary grades. But by 2007, California had larger student-teacher ratios than every state except Utah and Arizona across all 12 grades.
Larger K-3 class sizes now threaten to push California even further behind.
"Having the largest class size in America is a crime and a shame," said Delaine Eastin, the former superintendent of public instruction who oversaw the implementation of the class-size-reduction initiative until 2002.
It is not only poor districts that are affected. In fact, in some cases, districts serving large numbers of low-income and minority students have benefited from the additional $1.25 billion in Title 1 stimulus funds California receives from the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

This year, at Oliveira Elementary, Accurso has her students sitting in groups of six, at five tables, instead of groups of four, at five tables, as in previous years. Across the yard, one of the bungalows brought to the school when the class-size reduction program began in 1996, now stands empty.
But Accurso isn't nostalgic about the smaller class sizes.
"My focus is on the 30 kids I have in front of me and what I can do for each of them," she said. "I can't be thinking about what might have been. I can't go there."
She says she is managing with the extra kids — in part because she gets help from another teacher for about two hours, as well as parent volunteers. "We're just worried that we won't be able to get them where they need to be at the end of the year," she said.
In Los Angeles, each of the district's 524 elementary schools could choose between retaining all their teachers and keeping class sizes low — or laying off teachers and keeping support staff such as school nurses, math coaches and "intervention coordinators." At Plummer Elementary in the San Fernando Valley, principal Angel Barrett made the painful choice to let go seven of the school's first and second year teachers, out of a teaching staff of 45. As in many schools across Los Angeles, her classrooms are more crowded this year.
"You guys are doing a great job at listening," Norma Plascencia, a teacher with 22 years of classroom experience, told her 24 second-graders on a recent morning, before launching into a lesson about family trees.
"It doesn't make it impossible to teach, it just makes it harder," she said. Plascencia said she and other teachers are doing much more advance planning to take into account the extra students. "We are not mass-producing items; we're not making shoes or pizza. We are dealing with human beings — so four extra bodies are not just four extra bodies — it is everything that comes with them, or doesn't come with them."
Will it affect how her students will do this year?
"It better not," she said. "You have to assume they can reach for the stars. Are some going to fall by the wayside? We'll find out this year. Is there a possibility? Yes, I think there is.''
Her comment points to the controversy that has so far been waged mostly in academic circles — whether class-size reduction makes a difference in boosting student performance. Dominic Brewer, a USC professor, said there is no compelling research showing that class-size reduction results in improved academic performance in California. What research does exist has typically been done in other states and in classrooms with even smaller enrollments than in California.
"A class of 20 may be terrible for an ineffective teacher," he said. "And a great teacher can do great things with 30."
Some education leaders who have been lukewarm about the program are now making the case that the funds could be better used.
"I don't think 20-to-1 is sacred," said L.A. schools Superintendent Ramon Cortines. More important, he said, "is the kind of quality time you spend with your students, and how you divide your time in the classroom." To tackle high drop-out rates, he believes the real need is for smaller classes in middle and high schools, where class sizes in his district have soared to 40 and higher in some schools.
San Jose's Iglesias said that even if the state's economy rebounds, he's not sure he'd put money back into the class-size-reduction program. "I'd put it into longer school days or Saturday classes rather than this," he said.
But California superintendent O'Connell doesn't share any of these concerns. He said his experience as a teacher in Ventura County convinced him of the merits of smaller classes.
The same goes for Doug Wheeler, a veteran kindergarten teacher in San Pablo, just north of Richmond, who said that the larger the class, the more difficult it is for teachers to "deliver the goods." This year he volunteered to take more students into his bilingual class rather than having some of them be cut from the program. He now has 27 students.
"Teaching is not just standing in front of the class and delivering a lesson," he said. "It's about working with kids who are in danger of falling far behind. To get really good results, it has to be one on two, or even one on one."

We call it the Plus Program and it is exceeding our early expectations," Talamantes said. "Under our Plus Program, subscribers have the option to select either a digital-only subscription or a bundled subscription which includes both digital and print versions. The Plus Program is on pace to generate approximately $25 million in new revenues this year."Talamantes reviewed the impact that strategic investments and innovative new products are having on driving McClatchy's industry leading digital performance as well as its various targeted, online products aimed at the local marketplace. Digital advertising revenues now account for almost one quarter of McClatchy's total advertising revenues. Talamantes added, "We're targeting local and other advertisers with innovative direct marketing products as well, including our growing Print & Deliver and Sunday Select programs. Advertising revenues from both digital and direct marketing now represent more than 38 percent of McClatchy's total advertising revenues. That growth and diversification is crucial to our future success." Talamantes also spoke to the critical importance of high-quality journalism. "McClatchy's news mission, of course, remains fundamental," he said. "It's who we are and it's what keeps us relevant in the modern media mix both with readers and advertisers now and into the future. Our journalism continues to be recognized as some of the best in the business." The full text of Talamantes' speech as well as a video of his presentation can be found at www.mcclatchy.com.

Now that Renji is feeling better and is well into medical treatment for behavior issues, we need to start a good training program to improve his impulse control, focus, and his recall. After thinking about it ever since I found out such a program existed back in version 4, I took the plunge. So far, it has made it painfully obvious how much I've been SLACKING with training. Costly lesson, but a good one!
Anyone else taking Recallers 5? My username on there is "Renji," would love to follow along with other GSD and shepherd-mix owners.
So far loving it. First 2 weeks are free if you decide it's not for you and bail...

Fantastic trainer Susan Garrett. Susan Garrett Agility Training Positive training that really works.
If you search this forum for "recallers," you'll find a couple great threads about past Recallers courses. Lots of people join in on subsequent rounds. If you can get past the marketing machine, SG really is an awesome trainer, so is Lynda. The Coaching Call was really neat to watch as we did get to see some "It's Yer Choice" put in action.
Recallers 5
I'm in Recallers 5! Right now I have some pretty mixed feelings. There are a lot of GREAT games and training help, but the hype is almost overwhelming. But Gunner killed a chicken this morning so obviously I've got to do something about his lack of impulse control . . .
The reading is overwhelming, but I like the short videos and explanations. LIVE help this saturday with a video conference so that should be fun.
Recallers 5
Scout and I are there... Like the videos
I pretty much died when I played the video on that website... I freaking LOVE Queen and that song XD.
But it looks pretty interesting; if it's not insanely expensive, I might try it next time course registration opens up.

On Hardball , Wash. Post 's Allen repeated false claim about Wilson's trip to Niger
Research ››› ››› SIMON MALOY
On the July 27 edition of MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews, Washington Post staff writer Mike Allen falsely asserted that former ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV claimed that Vice President Dick Cheney sent him to Niger in 2002. In fact, Wilson has made it clear that the CIA, not Cheney, sent him to Niger to investigate the reported sale of uranium to Iraq.
On Hardball, Allen said:
ALLEN: Well, I mean, what we are seeing is there was a germ of accuracy in what Joe Wilson has been going around saying, that the vice president sent him. Yes, the vice president did not personally send him. Maybe he didn`t even know who went. But you can see where Joe Wilson got that idea.
While Allen correctly noted that Cheney did not personally send Wilson to Niger, he wrongly stated that Wilson has asserted that Cheney did. In his July 6, 2003, New York Times op-ed, Wilson wrote that CIA officials sent him to answer questions from Cheney's office about a particular intelligence report. On the August 3, 2003, edition of CNN's Late Edition, Wilson stated that "it's absolutely true that neither the vice president nor Dr. [then-National Security Adviser Condoleezza] Rice nor even [then-Director of Central Intelligence] George Tenet knew that I was traveling to Niger."
The false claim that Wilson stated or implied that Cheney sent him to Niger is significant to the controversy surrounding White House senior adviser Karl Rove's alleged outing of Wilson's wife, former CIA operative Valerie Plame. Rove's defenders have repeated (here, here, and here) this spurious allegation in an attempt to justify Rove's purported leaking of Plame's identity to Time magazine correspondent Matthew Cooper. Rove's defenders have claimed that he had a legitimate interest in setting the record straight, asserting that Plame, not Cheney, had actually authorized the trip. Media Matters for America has also previously debunked the assertion that Plame authorized her husband's trip.
Allen has written numerous articles for The Washington Post on the Plame leak controversy.

Rodney Wickens, one of the two surviving occupants of the car in which John Stonecipher, 714 Quinby Ave., Wooster, died in the early morning hours of May 9, 1999, testified in Wayne County Common Pleas Court on Tuesday that Steven Nunemaker of Wooster was driving the 1995 Pontiac Grand Am when it crashed into a semi tractor-trailer rig at Burbank and Milltown roads.
Nunemaker, 24, of 412 Walnut St., Wooster, is being tried before Judge Mark K. Wiest on charges of aggravated vehicular homicide and involutary manslaughter. The charges are both third-degree felonies carrying a maximum of five years in prison.
Defense attorney Daniel Lutz of Orrville intends to show there is no proof Nunemaker was the driver of the Grand Am, which was owned by his mother.
Wickens of 651 E. Henry St., Wooster, who apparently was thrown from the vehicle, which was cut in half by the crash, said he regained consciousness in the grass at the edge of a corn field and fled the scene of the crash on foot.
He was found standing behind the Bob Evans restaurant near the crash scene around 2:55 a.m. by a motorist who had come upon the accident. At the time, Wickens denied he had been in the car, but said he was a witness and then ran away.
Wickens, who said he was intoxicated at the time the group of three men left Digger's bar at the College Hills Shopping Plaza, was fuzzy about many of the details of what occurred just before and in the hours following the accident. When asked to estimate the speed the vehicle was traveling, Wickens said, "We were moving. I couldn't tell you how fast, but we were moving."
David Morgan, who lives less than 75 feet from the Milltown and Friendsville Road intersection, testified he was closing the drapes on the picture window of his living room when the Grand Am flashed by at a speed he estimated at 80 mph, not even slowing for the four-way stop. Morgan said it was only seconds later he heard the crash from the impact.
Wickens, 20, said minutes before the fatal accident Nunemaker had had problems negotiating a turn from Melrose Drive onto Milltown Road at a high rate of speed as he raced another driver to a planned meeting at another residence in the city.
Wickens, who is incarcerated in the Wayne County jail on a robbery charge, said he remembers seeing the semi pulling out in front of the speeding car, realizing a crash was inevitable, and saying out loud, "It's over."
Nevertheless, he recalled thinking the actual impact "seemed soft to me."
He said when he regained consciousness, he remembers running to Wooster High School and eventually ending up around daylight in the garage of a relative off Catalina Drive, where he had lived until a couple weeks prior to the accident. Wooster police found him sleeping there.
Lutz caught Wickens several times in testimony that conflicted with statements he had made to law enforcement officers. Wickens said the statements had been made at a time when he was drowsy and just after he had been told his friend Stonecipher had been killed.
Testimony by Wickens capped off a day that saw Assistant Wayne County Prosecutor Jocelyn Stefancin parade more than a dozen witnesses in front of the jury to reconstruct the accident and its aftermath. Witnesses included the driver of the semi that was struck by the Grand Am, two people who were returning tapes to the nearby Hollywood Video store, Wooster EMT Scott Bertsch who treated the crash victims at the scene and a Wal-Mart employee who heard the crash and went to investigate.
The trial enters its third day on Wednesday.

Boston Folks
Heyla up North!
I'm coming up to Boston - or planning to - late june/early July. Any suggestions on stuff I should or places I should go for GSD fixes? Do you think the shelter will let me borrow a dog to sleep on my hotel bed for a few days? Last time I went it was in January, and although I had a blast, all the tours and stuff were closed.:(
I saw Fanuil Hall and wandered around Harvard and felt inferior. I explored the subway system (that was great...we got nothing like that here in Texas) and visted the historic oyster house and Regina's Pizzeria. Stopped in Salem and discovered it was full of strip shopping malls but they didn't have any historic Salem Witchcraft stuff going on.
I'm open to any helpful suggestions...short of staying in Texas. :D
The aquarium and the science museum are my favorite. Also, check out The Daily Catch in the North end... limited seating, so a line forms (get there early), but it's so worth it. Incredibly fresh seafood, squid ink pasta, etc.
Salem is a lot more fun in the summer. The Salem Willows part is an old school boardwalk-style park, beautiful scenery, etc. Marblehead is also beautiful.
Marblehead is beautiful-the aquarium is great too-Love Boston-
Try the duck tours in Boston. I always take my relatives on that when they come to visit. Its a fun tour. Walk the freedom trail, visit the USS Constitution. Aquarium and Museum of Science is fun. Santarpios is the best pizza place in the North End. The JFK Library is in Boston. I've never been there but people say it's a good take.There's the Bunker Hill Monument, and The Old North Church. There are all kinds of shows to see at The Wang Theater, The Colonial Theater too if you are into broadway type shows. Salem is good in the summer, but best at Halloween time. They have the House of Seven Gables and other witch houses. The Lizzie Borden House and Battleship Cove are in Fall River. Plymouth Plantation, The Mayflower, and Plymouth Rock are all in Plymouth.
Oh! There are some great farmer's and artisan's markets in both Boston and Salem... I'll have to dig up the names when I get home..

Go to the Boston Public Library in Copley Square. The McKim building usually has interesting art displays...but go to the research side and look around...look up...and go in the courtyard (have lunch next to the fountain). On the plaza in front of Trinity Church (across from the library) there are lunch time concerts (and a farmers market along the edge). You can see the tortoise and the hair bronze sculptures as this is where the marathon finish line. The scooper bowl (ice cream yum!) is often held in June in the Boston common (where you can wade in the frog pond). Take a swan boat ride in the public garden (and while there visit the famous bronze duck statues from make way for ducklings). Follow the red line (the freedom trail) and see Old north church and other sites of the revolution (it is painted on the brick). Head out to Jamaica Plain and row on Jamaica Pond (part of the emerald necklace)- a small fee and a drivers license is all it takes. Stroll along the Charles river. Visit the Museum of Science, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, the art museum, the institute of contemporary art... What are you into? They've got it there!
OO wander Beacon Hill...take a state house tour....visit the african american history museum in Beacon Hill...visit the victorian house on Beacon street...
Get a hotel on the freedom trail, that could keep you busy the entire time.
The museum of fine arts is amazing - especially if they have their Egyptian stuff out. Science museum is huge too. Duck boat tours go right by the place but I'm not sure it stops since we always dropped out the boat in the Charles and did the duck boat tour in our own boat.
Catch a harbor cruise, the islands are so beautiful. If you've got time, catch a ferry to Provincetown. Forget the history bit about the pilgrims landing there, Provincetown is a wild and insane beautiful place you will never forget. Although be warned you'll see drag queens in P Town.
Or you could get in your rental car and drive south on the expressway to Rt 3 down to plimouth plantation, keep going and you're on cape cod about an hour out of Boston.
Also south of Boston about an hour and a half is my favorite old city, Newport RI. Newport is amazing to walk around in the summer.
Jeez, all the suggestions so far make me think maybe I should stay longer than planned. I was definitely thinking of staying at the Lizzie Borden Bed and Breakfast (I am absolutely certain she did it....just no other reasonable possible suspect) Is there a subway out to Fall Rivers? (I loved the subway. That was so cool) One of the things I love about Boston is the history so I'll check into the Salem tour..it's bound to be open in June. Oh I've got a whole list of ideas now. Last time I wandered around and just generally fell in love with Boston ( I loved the dark alleys; I wandered thru several of them one day. WE just don't have this stuff in Forney Tx) ...this time I'm going to do stuff. :D
You should also try Newbury St of you like high end shopping.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 18.104.22.168
Forum Moderators: ocean10000
The technical support person where they host the website (this was HostPro and is now Interland) tells me the problem is because I use asp on a webserver. He says I will only have good performance if I use a dedicated (not shared) server. He also recommends I use a separate host for my data and convert to SQLserver.
Hey -- this is alot of work and expense for me! Is he handing me a line or is there any truth here?
Should I be looking for a new hosting company, or is it my application?
Meryl Smith
How large is your database?
With Access, and probably FoxPro, these connections and query objects can linger and eat up memory.
I would ask your host if other sites were just as slow, or just yours.
The speed has nothing to do with running ASP scripts in general, but everything to do with your queries and object creation/deletion.
I was using Access and my site ground to a halt after about 7 users. I switched to mySQL (free) and never had a problem again.

There are things you can do to improve performance such as ensuring your database is indexed correctly and optimising your SQL queries.
which, when I run on my local test web server, run quickly.
Although it could be the database, I think it has to do more with the server load than the FoxPro DB. My last host served over 800 accounts. The ASP scripts querying the AccessDB took forever (over 10 seconds sometimes) to load. Like you, when I browsed the pages on the local server everything came up quickly.
Its time to find a new host.
As far as my cleaning up, I do cloae and set to null the recordset and database connections.
Thanks for your ideas so far! I am shopping for a new host, and any suggestions are appreciated.
ODBC does add an additional layer in the connection and can be problematic on shared servers. Use a DSN-Less connection mentioned above "Provider=<yourprovider>;Server=<yourserver>;UID=PWD=;" and tune up the indexes on your database.
Does your production DB change frequently and local one doesn't? If so, you might need to run regular re-indexing jobs to keep fresh.
The servers have plenty of grunt and they're not shared by too many other applications. Of course, it's important to be efficient in your code and database design but it sounds like you're on top of that.
Bottom line: better hosting service required.
I sped things up a bit by removing the ODBC connection and just using a DSN-less connection but other problems started to compound the issue...
So I moved all my accounts to CrystalTech Web Hosting and I haven't had a problem since.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. - The Northern Arizona volleyball team concludes the regular season this week on the road at North Dakota on Thursday and Northern Colorado on Saturday with a berth in the Big Sky Championships in hand. The Lumberjacks clinched one of the six spots with a victory over Montana last Thursday, which they followed with a victory over Montana State on Senior Night. NAU currently finds itself in a tie for third place holding the tiebreaker over Idaho State entering the final week of the season.
The Lumberjacks were led by sophomore Janae Vander Ploeg in their two wins last week as she made a successful return to the lineup after an injury forced her to miss a match. Vander Ploeg posted two double-doubles and averaged 4.12 kills and 3.75 digs per set. Sophomore Payton Bock also had a strong weekend averaging 3.00 kills per set while hitting .356 while junior Sydney Kemper (11 kills, 11 digs versus Montana) and junior Taylor Stephens (12 kills, six blocks, .688 hitting percentage versus Montana State) had solid matches as well. Freshman Jensen Barton was masterful in running the offense, totaling 93 assists, while sophomore Trianna Henry totaled 34 digs defensively.
Last Time Out: The Lumberjacks saw their rally from a 2-0 deficit fall short to Northern Colorado in the teams' first meeting in Flagstaff last month as they eventually fell in five sets. After dropping the first two games, NAU fought back to take the third and fourth games. However, the Bears strung together three straight points to break a 9-9 tie in the fifth set, which proved to be the final margin. UNC had four players with double-digit kills while sophomore Janae Vander Ploeg led the Lumberjacks with 18 kills. NAU outblocked Northern Colorado by a 17.0-10.0 margin, equaling its season-high of blocks. Junior Taylor Stephens led the way with a career-high nine blocks.
NAU was able to respond in its following match, handing North Dakota its first conference loss in three sets. UND had entered the match 9-0, but was held to a .160 clip. The Lumberjacks ran a highly efficient offense hitting .299 and set the tone early by hitting .500 in the first set. Vander Ploeg and junior Sydney Kemper each totaled 10 kills while freshman Addy Lofstedt chipped in nine kills on a .562 hitting percentage. For the second straight match, NAU was dominant on the block totaling 12.0 blocks as a team, eight of the solo variety. Stephens led the Lumberjacks with six total blocks, four solo.
Coach Ken Murphy Quote for the Week: "We wanted to make sure we were in the conference tournament but now we want to work on the things that help us to get better when that time comes. Our team is grasping onto the things that make us successful like our energy level and the way we need to communicate on the court. We have two more opportunities to get better before the tournament."
About North Dakota (20-10, 15-3 BSC): North Dakota rebounded from a tough five-set loss at Portland State last week by notching its 20th victory of the season in a sweep of Eastern Washington. UND returns home this week where it has lost just one conference match this season tied atop the Big Sky standings with Portland State at 15-3.
North Dakota, the conference leader in hitting percentage, continues to be paced by senior Lisa Parlich, the Big Sky's leading hitter at .375, although she hit just .222 against NAU earlier this season. Senior Ronni Munkeby is fourth at .317 and is also fifth in kills at 3.19 per set. Munkeby led UND with 16 kills last month in Flagstaff. Parlich and Munkeby also lead a strong UND block that is tied with NAU with a conference-best 2.64 blocks per set, as they rank fourth and eighth respectively in the conference in the category.
About Northern Colorado (12-16, 8-10 BSC): Northern Colorado enters the final week of the season fighting for the sixth and final spot in the Big Sky Championships. The Bears earned a hard-fought 3-2 win at Eastern Washington to begin last week, but suffered a three-set loss to Portland State. They are one game behind Sacramento State for sixth with two matches to play.
The Bears had four players with double-digit kills in their win over the Lumberjacks led by sophomore Kendra Cunningham, who had 19. Cunningham is ninth in the Big Sky with an average of 3.02 kills per set. Juniors Brianna Strong and Andrea Spaustat, third and sixth respectively in the Big Sky in hitting percentage, also had strong matches against the Lumberjacks. Spaustat had 18 kills with a .382 hitting percentage and three blocks while Strong added 14 kills with a .323 hitting percentage in addition to four blocks.
Headed to the Postseason: The Lumberjacks secured a spot in the Big Sky Championships tournament for the second year in a row with their victory over Montana. It will be the program's 16th appearance in the conference tournament.

This article and detailed wiring diagram explain how to wire the common household receptacle. The 15A, 125V receptacle is the most widely used device in your home. I've added a video at the end of the article that demonstrates how to wire a receptacle.
This is your standard receptacle that powers everything from your toaster to your TV. Whether you are replacing or adding a receptacle, here's how to connect them.
Always ensure that the power is off before working on any circuit!
Step #1- Make sure that the circuit is properly grounded. When installing or replacing a receptacle, connect the ground wire first. When removing an old receptacle, disconnect the ground wire last. The ground or bonding wire should be connected to the bonding screw in the device box, and either pig-tailed (in the case of more than one conductor), or left long enough to connect to the green grounding / bonding terminal on the receptacle.
Step #2 – Connect the neutral wire (s) next. They connect to the silver terminals that correspond with the longer vertical prong on the face of the receptacle.
Step #3 – Then connect the black (or red) hot wire (s). They connect to the brass terminals that correspond with the shorter vertical prong on the face of the receptacle.
Our sample receptacle has two cables entering the device box, and in this first diagram we are using the device terminals to complete the circuit.
Note that this is a practice that is not accepted by everyone, so check with your local electrical authority.
*Click on images to enlarge.
The second method is to connect the receptacle by the use of "pig-tail" splices so that the receptacle is connected to only one set of conductors.
In your home, most of the receptacles will have at least two cables entering the same box. The second cable is usually feeding another receptacle, however, it could also be coming from a light or switch.
If you have only one cable entering the device box, tighten the unused screws to avoid them coming in contact with the metal box (if using a metal box), or to mitigate the risk of the unused terminals coming in to contact with the bare ground wire when installing the device in place.
There are many other types of receptacles that you may find around the house, like 20A, or 15/20A, 125V Receptacles, GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) Receptacles, electric Dryer Receptacles (30A, 125/250V), and electric Range Receptacles (50A, 125/250V), to name a few.
Here's a quick video that takes you step-by-step through the wiring of a receptacle.

Another great resource is the Job Profiles Web site. Here people who actually do different jobs have already conducted the interviews for you.
Assess your skills and interests.
What do you like to do? Are there tasks you beg to do and others you have to force yourself to do? What jobs match your temperament? Some web sites you might want to check out are:
Research occupations that you are or may potentially be interested in.
Interviews are a good source of information, but for general information such as salary trends, outlook, etc., look at the on-line Occupational Outlook Handbook.
Compare your skills and interests with the occupations you're interested in.
Choose your career goal - this is where you start planning.
Both a long-term and a short-term goal should be identified.
Select training programs and other activities that will help you develop in your current job, and help you get closer to reaching that "dream" job.
Three great sources that offer training for government employees are:
Don't forget about your local colleges and universities. If you don't have that degree and it's needed in your future, begin to work on it as soon as possible.
What assistance is available to you?
If the course is job related, your supervisor may be able to fund the course. If not, maybe you can earn a scholarship or grant from a school. Or maybe you have to pay for it — is the investment now potentially worth the benefit in the future?
Network, network, network.
In the USGS, creating job possibilities and getting the mission accomplished are often about networking. Talk to people, let them know what you are interested in doing, sign up for that mentoring program, etc. You've got to "grease the wheels" to make things happen.
Keep your resume' current.
USA.JOBS is the official job site of the US Federal Government. It is your one stop source for Federal Jobs and employment information.
Check out internet resources, for example:
The IDP is a tool that is highly recommended. It's been around for a long time and can help in completing steps 5-10.

sounds like 7.7 jap WW2 issue
At an estate sale yesterday I found a brass stripper clip (no markings, no dimples, steel spring) loaded with 5 rounds that appear to be 8mm. Brass cases with no headstamp - the primer is flat and there is a circle in the case surrounding the primer. The bullets have a reddish color just above the neck. There were also some fired rounds with 2 flash holes visible inside and a second unloaded clip. Any ideas on what these might be? Thanks.
sounds like 7.7 jap WW2 issue
If 7.7 Japanese, the cases should be about 1mm longer than an 8x57mm Mauser case. They might also have a slight semi-rimmed feel to the rim.
Always looking for interesting 7.62x25 Tokarev and 7.63 Mauser cartridges!!!
Member: International Ammunition Assoc. (IAA), European Cartridge Research Assoc. (ECRA). Ask me about membership!
Thank you for the info - looking on the net for Japanese 7.7 ammo I found a picture that tells me that's what I have. If it had been German I'd have a place for it but I'll probably still hang onto it as it seems pretty rare. You never know what you're going to find at an estate sale.

Is RIM the Next Palm?
Research In Motion gave developers and partners the hard sell on its upcoming BlackBerry 10 platform at the annual BlackBerry World conference in Orlando, Florida, on Tuesday morning. And while the OS certainly looked promising, it wasn't enough to appease investors and analysts who worry that the company's struggle to recapture its lost momentum with consumers and developers is becoming a losing one. RIM's shares slipped more than 5 percent Tuesday afternoon following CEO Thorsten Heins's BlackBerry World keynote address.
Evidently Heins's enthusiastic pronouncements served more as a reminder

Merchandise Trade Deficit Wednesday, Jan. 19, 8:30 A.M.
The foreign trade deficit in November was probably little changed from its $10.5 billion level in October. That's the median forecast of economists surveyed by MMS International, a division of McGraw-Hill Inc. Both imports and exports have risen for three consecutive months, and most economists expect small declines on each side of the trade ledger in November. As a result, the trade deficit so far in the fourth quarter is not much different from its third-quarter average. The U.S., however, should continue to grow faster than most other industrialized countries during the first half of 1994, so imports will start to increase faster than exports once again. That means the foreign-trade sector will be a drag on U.S. economic growth for part of this year.

Brad in leather has never looked better.
Baby's got a nice back.
(Photos via GQ)
mmmmmmmmm thank you for submitting this photo.
Uck, he doesn't look anything like he used to. Aging badly. Jen sucked the youth out of him. This is Brad Pitt:
It cut off my link:
I love him still…. sweet jesus he is beautiful…
yummy!!!!!!! i will always love brad.
He's looking better as he ages. yum!
It looks like he is slimming down again, thank god… He will never be more beautiful than he was in Thelma and Louise. Pubesalicious.
NO man will EVER be as beautiful as Brad was in Thelma & Louise.
you can read the entire interview online… the interviewer is a woman and one of the lines are
"All my bitches are mad at me…"
Now you can read it with an idea of what you are walking into
He IS very easy on the eyes though (Fight Club, Troy – yes, I saw it just for him and Eric Banna who saves the movie from being a complete and utter embarrassment)
as gorgeous as he is, i find leather pants on anybody especially men creepy/greasy….and he has definately lost my respect now that it's becoming increasingly obvious that he left jen for angelina
a lot of airbrushing – I saw him upclose at the Ocean's 12 premiere in LA and he was leathery and acne-pitted; he's gonna look like redford in a few years.
I don't find him hot AT ALL. He has just this vapid look to him as though he's empty. Nothing behind the eyes. Shudder.
Tamara, say it ain't so. Brad looks bad in person? Aging like Redford? Not good.
Saint, I couldn't have said it better. Good Lord, he has the coldest eyes on the planet. And he is so not cute. Every one I know that I say that to just FREAKS out. Even men. "How can you SAY that?" they ask.
It's a "Brad Pitt is HOT" conspiracy, I tell ya! You are all brainwashed!
he also lost points when britney spears said she wants to marry him on her reality show, being the queen of short bus vapidness and all…birds of a feather flock together
EW! i am so sick of brad and angelina. i'm sick of him blowing hard about his divorce. i hope he and angelina do retire and i don't have to hear about them any more.
The thing is that Brad and Angie are so very happy together that all of our opinions wash right over them. So all of you Jennifer fans can moan and squawk all you want. Have your fun.
Jennifer will go on to find someone that she can mold into her own little toy-man (in my oppinion). She will trot him out when she wants to show him off. SMILE FOR THE CAMERA!!! She can polk fun at him. She can make all of the decisions. She will rake in tons and tons of money. She can adopt his mother as her own.
I wonder if she will make him kiss the dog goodnight. Good luck to you all.

Scared in Missoula, Places to 'get the shivers'- Our Top 5
There are lots of spooky place around Missoula this time of year. There is the legend of the man with a hook up Pattee Canyon, the haunted house in the university area or the haunted green house by Mclays bridge. If you are looking for spooky, you can find it. Here are a few to get you in the Halloween mood.
Missoula Cemetery (also known as the North side Cemetery)
The second oldest cemetery in Missoula created in 1884 holds the bodies of some of the first settlers of Missoula. This graveyard was created out of necessity due to the harsh life of the west in the 19th century. There is said to be over a 100 unmarked graves of Japanese railroad workers with unwritten epitaphs over their graves. A walk to remember…of the most spine chilling kind.
Pattee Canyon
Some longtime residents of Missoula will quietly remember the stories told about Pattee Canyon. Ritualistic tales of satanic worships and other strange happenings circulated around in the late 70's. Although little proof exists of these events, somehow driving up the canyon late at night gets really creepy in some spots. Think "Blair Witch of Missoula".
The University of Montana
Not only students are going to lecture at the University of Montana…ghostly spirits seem to love to take part in education as well. Jeanette Rankin Hall is reported to have spirits looming around the building. But this is not the only haunt in this college. Joining the ranks of strange places is also Brantley Hall and the Main Hall boasting of people hearing blood curdling screams and seeing a girl wandering around the long halls. Even University Theatre has its own special variety of ghost prowling the premises…a dog.
Daly Mansion
Field of Screams
Just outside of Missoula in a swift drive through the Bitterroot, a well-known corn maze righteously earned their Halloween name "Field of Screams". Once only an idea for a small yearly scare, this event has grown to 'frightening' proportions in 12 years. It is twice the size, as well as doubles the scare factor. Don't forget the cell phone.

Japan is an incredibly diverse country with an education system that rivals the West in terms of quality and research output. Not only is Japan highly developed in technological and educational terms, it's also a beautiful, vibrant country that anyone would enjoy living in.
More than 100,000 international students study in Japan every year. Japanese Universities offer excellent academic standards and high-tech resources and facilities for students. The Japanese education system is incredibly advanced, and the government is focussed on encouraging high-quality higher education for everyone; foreign students and nationals alike.
Japan has boomed, and is yet still booming – it has an increasingly fast-paced economy (it's currently the world's third-largest) and its social system has advanced at an incredible rate as a result. Practically speaking, this means the educational systems are brand new and streamlined, the infrastructure of the cities is advanced, and the entire country is safe, wealthy and welcoming. It's a great place to move to even if you're not studying.
Japanese universities are arguably the most respected in Asia – a degree from any Japanese university is a sure sign of applied intelligence. Studying anywhere abroad looks excellent on a CV – it shows employers you're a multi-dimensional person who's had more life experience than your average student and is able to work well outside their comfort zone. You can study a degree in Japan at one of five different types of colleges: Colleges of Technology, Professional Training Colleges ('senmom gakko'), Junior Colleges, Colleges and Universities and Graduate Schools. There is a wide range of courses in Japan to choose from, from language and undergraduate degrees in Japan to post-graduate, MBA's and research study.
There are over 700 universities in Japan, most of which are private. Education is highly regarded in Japan – it has a near-perfect literacy rate and English is a compulsory part of study in Japan. Japanese Universities have an excellent reputation around Asia and the world – 11 Japanese universitiesare ranked in the Times Higher Education Supplement Top 200 universities. Most universities in Japan offer many scholarships for international students – which can help with the higher cost of living and tuition fees.
Japanese culture is not to be missed out on either: in between studying hard for those well-respected exam grades, a prospective student would be able to enjoy all that Japan has to offer. The cities of Japan are busy, exciting metropolises, but are complemented beautifully by the rural side of the country, which is steeped in deep tradition and fascinating history. Japan has a huge amount to offer to any tourist, let alone somebody who's hoping to live there. It's truly a beautiful, multi-faceted, exciting place to be.
"The Land of the Rising Sun" is a wonderful mix of the old and the new – the modern cities like Tokyo, Kanagawa and Osaka are huge metropolises, filled to the brim and noisy with busy, successful people; whilst the rural areas of Japan are as quiet and as peaceful as the cities are loud and happening. It's a beautiful, very Asian, yin-and-yang dynamic, and it suits Japan down to a T.
But before we talk more about the cities and the countryside; let's talk about something close to everyone's heart – the food. Japanese food is delicate, very carefully prepared and unlike any other cuisine on Earth. It's based more or less exclusively around the staple dish of the culture – rice – but is so much more exciting than that. The Japanese way of cooking and eating is tied into the country's culture deeper than most, and a chef in Japan is regarded very highly as a result.
Japanese food generally consists of various side dishes that compliment and go with the rice, and includes such favourites and sushi, sashimi, and miso soup. These dishes have become popular all round the world, but some foods the Japanese have kept for themselves. You'll just have to find out what those are if you're lucky enough to study there.
Japan's cities are as exciting and enthralling as the food – Tokyo is simply vast, and utterly packed with people. The result is a thriving, bustling city with great (and immensely competitive) nightlife, restaurants and any and every other establishment you could possibly think of. Tokyo is an astonishing place to visit and one of the best and most current places to live in in the world – Japan's thriving economy has resulted in an enormous job market, that's just waiting to be filled at the higher levels by bright young graduates. There's a lot open here for someone with a degree, particularly if it's from a Japanese university.
The beauty of Japan's countryside matches the urban beauty of Tokyo or Osaka; the rolling hillsides, picturesque mountains and cherry trees have been written about in haiku's and poems for centuries by Japanese men and women of culture, and no wonder – rural Japan is simply beautiful, and is utterly surrounded by fascinating and exciting history.
Japan's history has been defined by long periods of isolation with the rest of the world up until 1853 and it still holds onto the traditions and culture that developed separately from any other country.
There are so many sights for a tourist to see in Japan; if you're in Tokyo, you should head to places like Tokyo Tower or the Imperial Palace or the Tokyo fish market, which has got to be the largest display of organised chaos anywhere in the world. Tokyo's nightlife is vibrant and exciting, and one of the very best places to visit (before heading to one of the many mega clubs in Roppongi) is the Golden Gai district, where tiny ramshackle pubs scuffle for space in the winding maze of alleyways. It sounds frightening, but the atmosphere is relaxed and jolly, and it's a wonderful place to drink in.
Rural Japan offers some very different – but no less fun – sights, including many, many shrines, hot springs, picturesque villages, and, of course, Mount Fuji; one of the most recognisable sights in all of Asia, and the highlight picture of an endless amount of calendars. Anyone visiting Japan should absolutely make a point of going to visit the temple of Oku-no-in, where almost every Japanese Buddhist has made sure to have at least some of their remains interred, in preparation of the coming of the Buddha that will teach complete enlightenment.
Japan, sadly, isn't as cheap as it used to be – it costs roughly the same to live in Tokyo (and, being a student, you'll probably be living in Tokyo. If you're not, though, good news! It'll be cheaper everywhere else) as it would to live in any European or affluent American city. However, there are some benefits to this – for one, part-time jobs would pay a lot more than they would in other parts of the world, and the higher prices act as an indicator of the relative economic success and stability that Japan enjoys. In any case, living costs do not tend to be more than in an American or Europe city.
The cost of studying in Japan isn't overly cheap, either, with prices for a private university at about $5000 dollars a year. It's not as cheap as it could be, but it's still significantly cheaper than studying in American or European universities. Don't forget; you get to study in Japan – the technological country of the world; the innovator, the inventor, the big one. Although Japanese universities charge more than other universities in this area of the world, this is still an extremely good deal.
There's more to consider, too – the Japanese government has a scheme in place to hit a target of 300,000 foreign students a year by 2020, making it very keen to accept students from all over the globe. As such, there has been many reports of subsidised loans and even living costs for foreign students – check if you're eligible before you apply, but the chances look good that money may well be saved this way.
A visa is needed for studying in Japan but most universities are more than happy to do the bulk of the paperwork after they accept you – to obtain a visa a little more directly, an application can be filled at your country's embassy or consulate. If the university is doing the paperwork, not a lot has to be done, but proof of identity, proof of ability to speak/understand the language the course is taught in (either Japanese or English – see Language), proof of acceptance from the university and proof of finance (such as a letter from your bank or student loans company) is all needed to get a visa from the embassy.
Make sure you know what paperwork you're filling and where – keep tabs on everything and check and double-check you've done everything right – if you're unsure, the embassy workers and the university will help you; that is what they're there for, after all.
The main language of Japan is, of course, Japanese; but English is taught in schools from an early age. It's difficult to learn a language with few similarities to your first language though, and most Japanese people find speaking and understanding English extremely difficult – some proficiency in Japanese is recommended to anyone hoping to live here.
The Japanese do understand written English much better than spoken English, though, so if you're hoping to live and study here, it's recommended that you carry a pad of paper and a pen around with you at all times (you will be a student, after all). The degree courses in Japan are either taught exclusively in English or in Japanese, and proof of ability to speak and understand the language is necessary before starting the course.
Your passport (even if it's an English/American one) may not count as proof of ability – so it's a good idea to obtain a separate IELTS or TOEFL certificate, even if you just type it out in perfect English yourself.

WTT: Feeler thread - 97 TJ 5.2L V8
I just picked this Jeep up a few weeks back, but I'm considering looking for a milder jeep that is more girlfriend-friendly.
<I may have to trade in my man-card for even typing this>
97 Jeep TJ 70k miles
Drivetrain: 15k Miles on new Drivetrain
Engine: 5.2L Magnum V-8 from a '99 Dodge Ram 1500, ODBII compliant Exhaust: Custom 'Y' pipe, cat, and S.S. Borla muffler and tail pipe Transmission: Remanufactured NV3500 with Hurst Shifter assembly Transfer Case: NP231HD with SYE bought new from JB Conversions
Front Axle: D30 with Detroit Tru-trac L/S, Warn Manual Hub Conversion and 4.88:1 gears Front Driveshaft: Shortened stock shaft
Rear Axle: Ford 8.8" bought new, disc brakes, 4.88:1 gears and Eaton L/S Rear Driveshaft: Tom Woods custom CV shaft
Radiator: Ron Davis double pass Alum
Power Steering: Stock Ram pump and stock Wrangler box
A/C: Stock Ram compressor
Fan: Dodge Dakota HD Cooling Clutch Fan
Gages: Stock TJ gages with whitefaces Autometer Phantom Water Temp gage
Suspension: Front: Custom long upper arms, Teraflex long lower arms, RE trackbar, 5.5" RE springs, OME Shocks
Rear: Teraflex long lower arms, custom adjustable short upper arms, stock trackbar, 4.5" RE springs OME shocks
Tires/Wheels: 5 – 15x10 Centerline Hellcat wheels 5 – 35x12.50 Super Swamper Truxus STS All-terrain (little over ½ tread on 4, full tread on spare) Interior: Custom 6 point cage Racing seats (mounted to cage) 4 point Corbeau harnesses No back seat
Bumpers: Front: Radius Offroad Mexico Series
Rear: Custom rear with trailer hitch, D-ring mounts and swing away spare tire carrier
Skid Plate/Protection: Custom diff skid on the D30 Kilby gas tank skid Custom 2x4x3/16 rocker gaurds/side steps
Accessories: 2 year old best top Sail Cloth replace a top Uninstalled set of headers for the 5.2L Car Cover Ramsey Pro Plus 8000 Winch up front Set of IPF fog lights up front IPF back up light
I drove the TJ from VA to IL with no problems, engine runs like a top. Mileage was better/comparable to any TJ on the highway, with gobs more power.
What I'm looking for: Any year TJ with I6, D44 rear, stock/mild mods + cash. I'd consider even trades, depending on the vehicle.
I'm not desperate to get rid of the jeep, it was done up well. Nick Scribner built it, you can search JU and other forums for details on it. I have/had plans to make it a bit easier to drive for my gf, but with so much going on, getting a milder jeep crossed my mind.
Anyhoo, pm me with any interest.

The Department of Health and Human Services has issued a request for information as it seeks to develop a national inventory of information about comparative effectiveness research.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act appropriated $1.1 million for such research to develop and disseminate best practices and evidence-based treatment guidelines. "An important component of this effort is creating an inventory of CER to ensure that patients, clinicians and other decision makers can identify and locate relevant CER in a timely manner," HHS said in a notice being published July 19 in the Federal Register. It is available now at ofr.gov/inspection.aspx.

I saw this sign ("Concealed Weapons Prohibited") at a mall in Springfield, MO over the weekend. We've all seen similar window decals at various retailers, and we have all responded in various ways. Some of us shake our heads and laugh, others of us take our business elsewhere, and still others of us write a letter to the establishment pointing out the utter stupidity of the sign.
My personal reaction this past weekend was to point out the sign to my wife and comment, "Darn! I was about to go in and rob Old Navy with my concealed handgun, but then I saw this sign, and now I guess I can't!" We both shook our heads and chuckled at the stupidity.
But then I had an idea. What if we printed up our own window decals with various phrases like "Murdering Prohibited" or "Robbery Not Allowed on this Property" - after all, isn't the point of the "Concealed Weapons Prohibited" sign to deter crime? If that's the case, then these new decals ought to serve the same purpose but with the added benefit of allowing law-abiding citizens to carry legally into the store (many states allow building owners to take away your Second Amendment right with the simple posting of this type of sign). Another benefit might be that the new decals could highlight the ridiculousness of the current decals.
Now, not that I am suggesting any sort of vandalism, but one might be inclined to print these "new" decals and conveniently place them over the "old" decals. After all, the supposed crime deterent factor is still present with the new decals, it's just more specific. If one were to print their own decals, here are a few suggestions in addition to the two mentioned above:
"Violent Crimes Prohibited"
"Anyone Who Enters This Property May not Engage in Any Illegal Activity"
"Shooting Anyone for Reasons Other Than Self-Defense or the Defense of Others is Not Allowed"
"Please do NOT do Anything Illegal While on This Property"
"Thanks for not Mugging"
Any other suggestions out there?
