Don't Marry For Love, Marry For Money
If people marry for love and 50% of them end up divorced perhaps we should start marrying for other reasons. I, for one, am leaning very close to marrying for money.
I recall a cool dude who told me that he wouldn't mind if a woman was interested in him for his money and all that he could provide.
"Doesn't bother me one bit. In fact if you are around me and you don't want anything to do with my lifestyle I'm thinking something is wrong with you."
"Really, so you could marry a gold digger?"
"Sure, as long as she is giving me what I want in return."
"Like what?"
"Sex and lots of it, keep a clean house, raise kids well."
"You won't feel used?"
"Hell no, look I'm a man. I know what my role is and what women want. Most men who work hard do so, so that they can meet women."
Ladies, men see right through "I don't want you for your house, car, cash…I love you for who you are." You might as well spit in their face for you have just insulted their ego. I don't know why women tell this lie, mostly to themselves, as a way to prove they aren't shallow.
Well damn it, I'm shallow! Sue me for wanting a man who has good credit, owns or plans or purchasing property, a car, no kids, and money in the bank. Men are motivated by a different beast than women. They want to be fawned over. Men live to catch attention. Women expect attention so they take it for granted.
Think of it this way, most men have low self-esteem. He works hard to dress nice, buy hot stuff, etc. He wants a woman to notice. His thinking "If I can do this for myself, baby imagine what I can do for you." That's the bait and we fall for it every time. Now, not all guys can live up to this. Once you're married and start to inquire you may learn he's in debt, a con man or living off his momma's insurance money and rents instead of owns his mini-mansion. Do yourself a favor and check all background and financial history prior to saying "I Do".
When I marry for money I'll be up front and let people know it too. I won't bore you with those super cheese romantic stories. Nah, eff that.
"SG, congrats on the engagement. You two look so happy."
"Yup, I sure am. Girl, he got me out of debt!"
"Yes. I told him that if we were to get hitched there were some things I needed cleared up first. Within six months my student loans were gone."
"Wait, do you love him or is this all about money?"
"I'd say 60% money and 40% love. Just the way it should be."

hmmm… I think most women marry for money on a certain level though….and guys know this….I guess it's just when women are vocal about it that it becomes out of the way…but Lawd knows that I'm not against having someone get me out of debt as well as buy me a house….shoot why not?
After reading this article, a question pops in my head: what happens if the money disappears? Would you stay in the relationship or plot your exit plan?
I disagree and will never marry for money…will never be that desperate. I also don't believe that most men have low self-esteem and that you'd be insulting a man if you told him you loved him for who he is instead of what he's got. That's ridiculous and it is very shallow.
The guy you talked to who has no problem marrying gold diggers is obviously one who does have some serious self-esteem issues and desperation problems. I feel sad for anyone who ever feels that way, for they are very sad people.
Why would anyone who has any type of self-worth want to be with someone who didn't love and care for them, just wanted their money and vice versa? Whatever, maybe that will free up all the decent guys for us decent women, and all the people with problems can be together. Fine with me.
I, for one, have standards: http://tiny.cc/2xRk2
So what happens when she has the money and he doesn't? And you know he will never have more money than she? Then what is she marrying for?
I'm sorry if the man I'm with can't have a decent conversation and don't show me the love affection,and attention I need money can only but happiness for a few hours or days not years or a lifetime. Don't get me wrong I want an educated mann who is on his grind but if he can't b what I need I can't b what he need. I won't sell myself short. I need love and financial security. I want someone that wants me for love sex fun conversation companionship. Let me ask this when she goes bad where that man gonna b? He b finding him the next fool! If he love ya he stick with ya no matter what.
Sorry typing 2 fast the question is where is the man when shit goes bad. He is gonna working on the next fool and u gonna b left with no one.
OH MY GAWD! This post is Hilarious! Has me dying in the office! When I had my graduation party my grandpa made a speech (in front of everybody !!!) and told me the same thing! "Don't marry for love, marry for money!" He was serious too. While I won't say that I have to marry a guy with a ton of financial assets, I will say it'd be nice to have a man with some bank. I'd still take a guy that's moderately broke but has goals, and of course he's still got to love me and be supportive of my goals as well. There's got to be a happy medium somewhere…
Another reason why I'm not too big on marriage.
I'll be damned if i sign rights to half my shit to some girl who's just fucking me. Not to mention kids would equal potential child support (could happen regardless but still) in the future and alimony in case of a divorce
In this age of "independent women", I'm sure a lotta men would agree with my point.
At least you can admit it.
I also do think most women marry for money but dont wanna admit it for the fear of being labeled shallow or golddiggerish.
Real cats can respect the truth. I can spot it from a mile away.
If most Americans take care of their teeth and still get cavities, perhaps we should just eat whatever we want and never brush. I, personally, am very close to throwing my floss away…
First the gentleman "failed" to give you ONE very important piece of information. When he says "sex. and lots of it" he means: until it gets boring (as most sex does eventually), and then he wants you to act like you dont know he is screwing somebody else.
Thats where love is more relevant. "IF" he loves you, he may be more descreet and show concern for your feelings, when he is doing what he does. But if he knows you are just there for the money, he is going to treat you like you are just there for the money, and as long as he is giving you that lifestyle, he expects you to sit there and shut up.
The sad truth is, at a certain stage in life, having someone who cares for you will become a lot more important than having someone who just takes care of you.
Looks fade. So when your 25 year old replacement (who is also marrying for money), moves into your guest house or he buys her a condo downtown, then you have to live with the good and the bad.
I believe the root definition of a man when it comes to marriage is to provide and protect. I don't think this article is saying marry ONLY for money, but you gotta admit that being financially secure let's you sleep better at night than being in debt. You know it's true. However Kanye West said in The Good Life song…."Having money isn't everything but not having it is"…..so true. Love doesn't pay the bills. If you happen to catch you a guy that you're in love with AND is financially secure then you have truly been blessed!
ummm…. that is a tough one… I married a man out of pure LOVE, through the time he developed a VERY lucrative career, we had gotten married really young I was 19. I loved him more I think when he was just an average guy and all the $$$$ he spent on me was not worth having a broke ass man who just wanted to spend time with me as opposed to just buying me stuff. yeah I have lived that lifestyle, never seeing or thinking about anything I wanted and not getting it, but now I want something different… an average dude with a good heart!
I married for love…..this time. Been married for 16 years. We were broke then and we're still broke. If I ever do it again, and that's a mighty big IF….lol…….it will definitely be for money.
Well, first of all, if a woman if focused on her career and doing things she needs to do early in life then she doesn't need a man for nothing but good sex and conversation. I have only dated 2 woman in my whole life that had less money than me. How many of you know a woman with a man that doesn't even work and she won't leave him? He laying that pipe something serious. That and chicks don't wanna leave a man cause they think they won't get another one. Even if their man ain't worth nothin. It's ironic that chicks get offered dates, sex, etc a few times a week or more yet they act like if they get out of a bad relationship they will be lonely. Men are the opposite. Anyways, the point is that you might be a gold digger but I bet you won't leave a broke man that F'in the crap out of you. Further more, a woman who only marries for money is probably 99% likely to cheat at some point. Marry for love people. Peace
It is only very recently that people stoppped marrying for money, and started with love. Marriages, for quite a good deal of time, were always based on wealth, power, or both. Love is all well and good, mind you, but it's certainly not something that is required. Respect, however, is. A person shouldn't marry for money and then expect to be banging every guy or gal they see. Affection is another important aspect of a money marriage.
I have been married for 15 years and I married him for love. He didn't make much money at the time. Back then he treated me well. Eventually his career developed and he made decent money, but the more money he made the worse he treated me. It seems he has gotten so much attention from other women that I am no longer "good enough" for him. If I had it to do over again, I wouldn't get married at all. I'd rather be alone then to find out this late in the game that he wasn't who I thought he was.
I bought a small business and thru God's blessing, became a multi millionaire.
So, I could write a book on this!!
1 thing I REALLY noticed the most…the richer I have become, the more attrative the women get who were interested in me.
And I mean like a LOT!
The difference is amazing.
And maybe this is confidence too? Not sure.
And oddly enough, the feeling used, wanted for my $ etc… is all but gone.
Maybe because I have confidence in my personality too?…but I no longer am upset by this at all.
It would be nice to have both; love and money, I ve had both and couldn't make up my mind. One had the money but didn't attract me physically and the other attracted me but didn't have the money. There were times I wish I could make one man from both of them but that was impossible. I'm still single because I can't live without either one. There's a saying that goes like this; "It's better to me rich and miserable than poor and miserable"

Wow, You Go Girl
Lol, real nice article. typical trailor trash cjick basing all her argument on anecdotal eviden e gathered from her ignorant narrow mind.not really much else to say to someone with essentially no self awareness other than "you are all that is wrong with the world. Do yourself a favour and broaden your friend circle, you may find there is more to life, but I doubt it."
Money won't buy you happiness. I've dated men with money and yeah it's fun and flattering at first but you then discover that your just a tropy to them. I made my own way as a RN I won't ever depend on a man to make my way. I make more money than my boyfriend but I still respect him I never throw it in his face. My man treats me like a princess and I know he loves me. I was miserable when I was with my ex that had all the money. Women make ur own way stop looking for a man to depend on. When the money goes what will have to fall back on?
my mother always told me to marry for money. The more I date the more I am confused . the last time they had money they were abusive, another time they had no money and were cheaters , most recently the last love my life was on drugs couldn't be honest about it because of his past. I believe at the end of the day if you find someone tolerable and they have security you'll be okay. this is coming from a young woman who does make her own money but also wants to feel the same about her mate. I don't know how much more clear can get other than the fact that women have to realize the infatuation stage eventually ends. it always does to some extent sex never the same as it was when you first started 3 years in. it is what it is and I agree with a previous statement that respect is everything. essentially you could have a same sex friend ship in house that would be the same exact thing as a respectful marriage. we american women so shallow and selfish as we gain more power #endrant

AWESOME...just AWESOME. That is by far the BEST HIC I have ever seen. Amazing job brother...
AWESOME...just AWESOME. That is by far the BEST HIC I have ever seen. Amazing job brother...
This thing is just amazing. What was your total build price if you dont mind me asking?
HIC Front Panel Pieces - $225.00
Side Panels - $250.00
Side Panel Greeblies - $20.00
Wood, screws, glue, wood filler - $80.00
Wood Sealer - $7.00
Side Panel Handles - $9.00
Primer and Spray Paint - $35.00
LEDs - $20.00
LED Switch - $3.00
Cabinet Top and Bottom Details - $10.00
So carry the 3, add 2, divide by 6, multiply by the sqaure root of pi...........(mumbling to myself, working, working).............. about $100.00.
Seriously, about $659.00 in actual materials, give or take a few. I saved a little on wood by picking up some of the scrap pieces they had at Lowe's and Home Depot. Wal-Mart also has Krylon on sale right now, I think it's under $3.00 a can.
I may just try this one more time down the road.

If you don't mind me asking where did you get the HIC parts?
I make the HIC parts, but the mold is down for the count, im working on a new one.
The project turned out great, congrats!
Im likely going to do one soon for giggles. as I dont like the box shape of the original, but mines going to be an ultra lite version I doubt ill put the love into it you did though.
Thanks for documenting it!
Thanks, and good luck with that, I thought about making a really light version, out of styrene and very lightweight wood. Be sure to post some pics. Hope you get your mold back up, I'll be in the market again for Han pieces down the road!
Colour me, jealous....
Maybe I missed it.. but what did you use for electronics?
It's my dream to get one of these, I'll be following this thread while trying to convince the GF of having one in our place.
love what you've done.
Dedication + hard work = Great work.
Trying to finish up the details for the panels. Today I added more of the greeblies and made some water slide decals of the alien symbols. I deviated quite a bit from what's screen accurate, I just eyeballed it and went with what I liked.
I still have a bit of fine tuning to do, a few extra decals and greeblies to add.
beautiful! I think that you need 2 of my bases to display your han in carb and your Fett.
The new mold is done. Need to add keys, and then the shell in the next couple days and ill be up and running again.
Hi, I have said how nice this is over at the rpf but just wanted to say it again over here. Just joined the TDH to see what you guys get up to. Hope to have a Han hanging on my wall soon. Hope you don't mind me asking for help?
wow bro that is amazing!!!!!
great work! i want one!!
Just curious what the brand name of the hardener you used is?
I'm just getting ready to start my HIC build. Your thread has
been great!
Sorry brother, I bought it a long time ago at Home Depot or Lowe's. I had it stored in a separate container for over a year after I dropped the original bottle and it broke. It came in a little red plastic bottle. I have been asked a few times and for the life of me I can't remember the name. Every time I go to HD or Lowe's I check and can't find it. If I remember correctly it was used in garage floor epoxy applications, so if they still carry it it'll be in that section or the glue section. If I ever see it again I'll post. You don't really need it, you can pour the glue (if you are using that method) in smaller layers and it will be fine, if you go thick it just takes longer to dry. I used it in the base only, every other coat was done without it.
Good luck.
dude.... your HIC really is cool, would love one... but it would have to go next to the wifes side of the bed.. she aint happy with that!!! so i have to make do with my HIC head in a cabinet!!

Alamut (Bartol novel)

Alamut is a novel by Vladimir Bartol, first published in 1938 in Slovenian, dealing with the story of Hassan-i Sabbah and the Hashshashin, and named after their Alamut fortress.
Bartol first started to conceive the novel in the early 1930s, when he lived in Paris. In the French capital, he met with the Slovene literary critic Josip Vidmar, who introduced him to the story of Hassan-i Sabbah. A further stimulation for the novel came from the assassination of Alexander I of Yugoslavia perpetrated by Croatian and Bulgarian radical nationalists, on the alleged commission of the Italian Fascist government. When it was originally published, the novel was sarcastically dedicated to Benito Mussolini.
The maxim of the novel is "Nothing is an absolute reality; all is permitted".
This book was one of the inspirations for the video game series Assassin's Creed.
The novel is set in the 11th century at the fortress of Alamut (Persian: قلعه الموت), which was seized by the leader of the Ismailis, Hassan-i Sabbah or Sayyiduna (سیدنا, "Our Master"). At the start of the story, he is gathering an army for the purpose of attacking the Seljuk Empire, which has taken over possession of Iran. The story commences with the journey of young ibn Tahir, who is, according to his family's wish, intending to join the Alamut garrison. There, he is appointed to the squad of the most valiant soldiers, named the fedai (فدائی). Fedai are expected to obey orders without demur and forfeit their lives if necessary. During their demanding training, they come to be convinced that they shall go to heaven immediately after their death if they die in the line of duty. Hassan managed to achieve such level of obedience by deceiving his soldiers; he gave them drugs (hashish) to numb them and afterwards ordered that they be carried into the gardens behind the fortress—which were made into a simulacrum of heaven, including houris. Therefore, fedayin believe that Allah has given Hassan the power to send anybody into the Heaven for a certain period. Moreover, some of the fedayin fall in love with houris, and Hassan unscrupulously uses that to his advantage.
Meanwhile, the Seljuk army besieges Alamut. Some of the soldiers are captured and Hassan decides to demonstrate his power to them. He orders a pair of fedayin (Yusuf and Suleiman) to kill themselves; Suleiman by stabbing himself, Yusuf by jumping off a tower. They gladly fulfill their master's order since they believe that they will soon rejoice with their beloved in heaven. After the siege, Hassan orders ibn Tahir to go and kill the grand vizier of the Seljuk sultan Nizam al-Mulk. Hassan wants to take revenge for al-Mulk's treachery against him long ago. Ibn Tahir stabs the vizier, but, before he passes away, the vizier reveals the truth of Hassan's deceptions to his murderer. Ibn Tahir decides to return to Alamut and kill Hassan. When ibn Tahir returns, Hassan receives him and also reveals him his true motto: "Nothing is an absolute reality, all is permitted". Then, he lets ibn Tahir go, to start a long journey around the world. Another fedai kills the Seljuk Sultan and the Seljuk empire dissolves. The fight for the Seljuk throne begins. Hassan encloses himself in a tower, determined to work until the end of his days. He transfers the power over the Ismaelits to the hands of his faithful dai, military, and religious chiefs.
Some of the contemporaneous literary critics, such as Lino Legiša, have interpreted it as an allegory of the TIGR, an organization formed in order to fight the Fascist Italianization in the ex-Austrian Littoral.[1][2]
Cultural impact[edit]
The novel and its plot were the inspiration for the popular Assassin's Creed series of video games.[3] Many elements of the book's plot can be found in the first game, and the phrase from the novel under an alternative translation: "nothing is true; everything is permitted" is the guiding principle of the game's Order of Assassins—who are the fictionalized descendants of the Ismaili.
Author William S. Burroughs found fascination within the story of Hassan-i-Sabbah and included the motto, "Nothing is true; everything is permitted," and many references to the work in his 1959 post-modern novel, "Naked Lunch."
The novel was not published in English until 2004.[4] Earlier it was translated into about 18 other languages including Czech (1946), Serbian (1954), French (1988), Spanish (1989), Italian (1989), German (1992), Turkish, Persian (1995), Arabic, Greek, Korean and Slovak. More recently it has been translated into Hebrew (2003), Hungarian (2005) Finnish (2008) and Turkish (2010).

An increase in graduation rates, a focus on technology and such a profound loss of confidence from stakeholders that it has plunged the district into a spiral of denied overrides and painful budget cuts.
Those are the accomplishments of Sunnyside Superintendent Manuel Isquierdo.
While his supporters — Governing Board members Bobby Garcia, Luis Gonzales and Eva Carrillo Dong — extended Isquierdo's contract until 2016, two of them will have to answer for that support much sooner.
As reported in the Star, a group seeking the recall of Gonzales and Garcia collected the required signatures to trigger an election, to be conducted by mail, with all ballots received by May 20. Carrillo Dong was not targeted by the recall effort because her seat is up for re-election this year.
But as the board's critics gather to discuss who will try to unseat the current members, they should recognize that although the contentious debate over the superintendent's leadership is what led to the recall, being anti-Isquierdo should not be the defining qualification for potential candidates.
Granted, the litany of the superintendent's questionable decisions almost makes it impossible to take anything else into consideration. Isquierdo overcharged the district for more than $12,000 in expenses, had his driver's license suspended for failing to pay traffic tickets, defaulted on the loan for his Oro Valley home after losing a previous home in California to foreclosure, fired a teacher who alleged cheating on standardized tests and owes $57,000 in federal taxes — all while collecting a salary of more than $300,000.
It is obvious why many in the community are angry and frustrated with the Governing Board, and every denied budget override — three in the last three years — has been a vote of no confidence in Isquierdo and his leadership.
But the people of Sunnyside are a tight-knit group.
Residents can say it's time for board members to go while in the same breath recalling the good they've done for the district. They can speak of the fine job a board member's relative is doing while decrying the specter of nepotism. They may object to board members' actions but give them the benefit of the doubt.
Qualified applicants should step up and be prepared to fight in a contest that will pit neighbor against neighbor and put entrenched interests on the offensive. Simply being against Isquierdo is not enough. Prospective candidates must have a vision for the district and a plan to help students and teachers achieve their goals.
Sunnyside is not a wealthy district. Most students qualify for the federal free or reduced-price lunch program, and a third of them are classified as English-language learners. A quality education is vital to their future success.
Candidates have the opportunity to bring about real change — to take the advancements the district has made and continue to improve. Removing the superintendent would only be the beginning.

Give me a break!
Well, I can't! So maybe I'm just banking on Karma. Or maybe I'm just appealing to the Universe to give me a break.
I think this is normal for people in my situation. Back in the "real" world when I wasn't ill and didn't know my time was limited, I would get angry if I ran into a traffic jam when I was late driving to a meeting. I would get frustrated if I couldn't find a seat on the subway or if someone snuck in front of me in a line at the bank machine. That was gross selfishness and ego on my part because I was conditioned to think that my time was more important than everyone else's. Embarrassing in retrospect and perhaps a sad commentary on what we have become, because I know I wasn't alone.
But I don't think my desire to "get a break" comes from the same place. I just think that those of us who deal with so much pain, invasive tests and often harsh treatments, and who carry the emotional burden of death hanging over our heads, feel like its too much sometimes. Maybe the Universe doesn't "owe" us anything, but maybe it would just be....... nice. It would be nice to feel that there was some balance in the world.
I have been using a cane to walk for some time, mainly for stability but also to relieve the pain of walking. Canes are an obvious thing and many people are very kind and hold doors for me or are a little more careful around me. But others totally ignore me and some just about run me over. Are they blind or do they just not care?
The other day, something gave way in my back and I started to collapse in a crowded store. There were lots of people around and they all stood by and watched as my 5 foot wife tried to hoist up my heavy 6 foot 2 frame. She managed to get my hands on the shopping cart so I could pull myself up
and which I leaned on to get out to the car. Even as I shuffled across the parking lot in obvious pain and distress, I came close to being run over by several impatient drivers.
Is that what we've come to? Or am I just whining again? It doesn't have to be that way. I remember back in "real time" Dianne and I stopping to help an elderly lady who had fallen and lay bleeding on the sidewalk. We weren't the first car by but were the only ones who stopped. We were appalled!
Sometimes I hate what the "civilized" world has done to us. I guess I'm just more sensitive to it now. And I'm really not complaining. I just want to share with you how things are different for me now. In the past, I would just get mad and complain about all the idiots in the world. Now I just feel sorry for people who have not yet developed any perspective on what is really important. A terminal illness can definitely do that for you, but it's not something I would recommend.
Just try to give us a break sometime. Please.......

"Whining"? Really? Give yourself a break. You made some wrenching observations and, though it may be because of your plight, at least your voice is more likely to be heard. Thanks for sharing.

It is so sad that you had to experience that and hope that the kind of attention this brings will help people stop to help even if it is just that door

The Canadian oil and gas service sector will report weak second-half results because of a protracted spring break-up in Canada and persistent natural gas weakness in the United States, says Desjardins Securities Inc. analyst Jamie Murray.
Canada-focused companies are at "highest risk of a miss [in expectations]," Mr. Murray warned in a report on Monday.
Drilling and completions activity were down in Canada, he said. There were on average 194 rigs active in the second quarter, down from 205 in the year-ago period, according to data from Nickle's Energy Group.
The second quarter is seasonally the weakest in Canada as road bans from wet conditions limit drilling activity.
"This year, the wet weather extended right through the end of June, wiping out a couple of weeks of potential activity," he noted.
"U.S. activity fell through the quarter as new oil drilling failed to offset natural gas declines," he added.
"We like Trinidad Drilling Ltd. going into the quarter due to its relatively high U.S. contract exposure, which should provide a good stable earnings base to offset the impact from the volatile Canadian operations."
While the analyst said he has tweaked his estimates in his preview for the quarter, he is currently maintaining his ratings and targets.
Trinidad Drilling is rated a "buy" with a one-year target of $7.75 a share.
Cathedral Energy Services is rated a "buy" with a one year target of $7.25 a share
Enseco Energy Services is rated a "speculative buy" with a one-year target of $1.75 a share.
Essential Energy Services is rated a "top pick" with a one-year target of $3 a share.
PHX Energy Services is rated "hold" with a one-year target of $8.75 a share.
Precision Drilling Corp. is rated a "buy" with a one-year target of $11.50 a share.
Savanna Energy Services is rated "hold" with a one-year target of $9.50 a share.
West Fraser Timber Co. Ltd.
CIBC World Markets analyst Mark Kennedy raised his target on the lumber producer by $10 a share to $65 on improving U.S. demand.
"We expect U.S. housing starts will exceed 900,000 in 2013 and one million in 2014," he said.
Upside: He maintains a "sector outperform" rating.
IGM Financial Inc.
IGM, which owns Investors Group Inc. and Mackenzie Financial Corp., is expected to report rising net redemptions in mutual funds to around $927-million and lower revenue in the second quarter from a year ago, said Canaccord Genuity Corp. analyst Scott Chan.
Downside: He maintains a "hold" rating, and cut his one-year target to $43 a share from $44.
FirstService Corp.
The property manager's second-quarter results will be affected by its Field Asset Services unit's decision to end its contract with Fannie Mae due to the soft U.S. foreclosure market, said CIBC World Markets analyst Stephanie Price.
Downside: She cut her one-year target to $34.50 a share from $37, but maintains a "sector outperform" rating.
Textron Inc.
RBC Dominion Securities analyst Robert Stallard downgraded the corporate jet maker to "sector perform" after a strong run-up in the firm's share price. "The next six months or so could be tricky, particularly with its limited backlog," he said.
Downside: He also cut his one-year target to $28 (U.S.) a share from $32.

I read a post over at Mumof4 's blog this morning which essentially is about feeling let down by a friend. And it got me thinking about different perceptions of situations and how people can interpret things very differently from each other, which can lead to misunderstandings and, sometimes, to the end of friendships.
Mumof4's post struck a particular chord with me, as I am currently in a situation which could potentially be suffering from this problem. I've written about my friend Jane before – her husband died recently from a brain tumour, and his funeral took place last week.
Jane and I worked together around 16 years ago, and became close friends for a period of two or three years – we lived in each other's pockets and socialized together a lot.
But we were always 'girly' friends – we never did the couples thing very well together once we'd both got married, as our husbands didn't really have anything in common (and her first husband was, quite frankly, a bit of an oddball!)
So gradually, over the years, we saw less of each other. Unfortunately, William didn't get on well with Jane's daughter, who was two or three years younger than him, so once we'd had kids, we saw even less of each other.
Jane subsequently divorced the oddball, met a new partner, moved further away and then remarried last summer. However, we have kept in touch over the years, and have met up for lunch or coffee two or three times a year to catch up on each other's news.
In my previous post about Jane, I wrote about how her mother was diagnosed with cancer just after her husband's terminal diagnosis last summer, and subsequently died last November. Paul, Jane's husband, died three weeks ago.
I'm slowly getting to the point of this post – bear with me – which is that I haven't actually spoken to Jane since before Paul's terminal diagnosis. And Jane could have interpreted this as a horrific lack of support, failure of friendship, etc.
I sincerely hope she hasn't, but I can see how this could be the case.
From my point of view, the situation is the following:
Jane and I have a friend in common, Anna, who we both see more often than we see each other. I have relied on Anna for news of Jane over the last year or so, rather than bothering Jane direct. I know Jane and Paul both have big families, and they also have a huge circle of friends and acquaintances, and I felt Jane would have enough to deal with, without me (a friend who she's seen only a handful of times over the last few years) phoning for news – I thought it might be seen as pestering.
I have, however, text Jane on several occasions, telling her that I'm thinking about her and her family, and hoping she's OK, etc etc. I also sent a sympathy card/letter when Paul died.
I didn't go to his funeral, as I'd only actually met him once to speak to, and I didn't feel that it was appropriate. Over 300 people attended, which is testament to what a popular and well-liked man he was.
So … what could be perceived by Jane as a lack of contact and support from me, has actually been for all the right reasons as far as I'm concerned – the course of action I've chosen to take has been taken with the very best of intentions.
However, I can see that it could be open to misinterpretation, and I really hope that this isn't the case.
I am planning on phoning Jane later this week, to chat, offer my condolences now the funeral is over and the dust has settled a little, and see if she'd like to meet up for coffee. And I'll be honest, I'm dreading it a little bit.
I really hope we haven't got our friendship wires crossed.

"It was a beautiful day, great weather," said Associate Athletic Director Vin Lananna. "It was a good mid-season test for some and a good season opener for others.
"All and all, I'm fairly pleased with the day and looking forward to a really exciting Saturday at the Oregon Relays."
At a brilliantly sunny day Historic Hayward Field before 6,718 in attendance, Kipyego and teammate Julia Lucas took charge over final 600 meters before Kipyego pulled ahead and finished in 4:08.59. Lucas was second in 4:10.75 with OTC Elite's Geena Gall third in 4:13.49.
"We have been training really hard for this race and the Stanford race," said Kipyego. "It was nice having a teammate out there in front with me to help me with my pace."
Hasay, a junior from Arroyo Grande, Calif., making her 2012 outdoor debut, was the top collegian and ran the third-fastest 1,500 meters in the NCAA this season in 4:15.00.
"I was glad to be in such a good race," said Hasay. "The quality of racers was extremely high and I knew it was going to be fast. I was happy with my time and finish especially with the way the race ended."
Arthur Delaney took the men's 200 meters in 20.95. The freshman from Gresham, Ore., accelerated past teammate Mike Berry coming off the turn and then had to hold off a charge from another teammate, Joeal Hotchkins, who was second in 21.26. Berry was third in 21.35.
"I got off to a great start and was happy all the way until the end, I could have finished better," said Delaney. "I lost my focus towards the end, I was more focused on beating Mike Berry.
"It was really nice to beat Mike; not only is it good for me, but it's good for everyone else on the team. It makes everyone push that much harder in practice."
Delaney's time was the ninth-fastest in school history.
The men's 1,500 meters produced a couple of lifetime bests from OTC Elite's Tyler Mulder and Oregon's Trevor Dunbar. Mulder won in 3:42.53, with the sophomore from Kodiak, Alaska second in 3:43.12. Ducks Travis Stanford, Colby Alexander and Chad Noelle also set personal bests in the 1,500. Stanford, a senior, was fifth in 3:46.97, while Alexander, a freshman, was sixth in 3:47.13 and Noelle, also a freshman, was seventh in 3:47.15.
Brian Schaudt led the Ducks in the field events. The senior from Philomath, Ore., posted a season best 51-0.25/15.55m in winning the triple jump. Teammate Trevor Ferguson also had a season's best jump. The freshman from Oregon City, Ore., was second at 48-11/14.91m.
"It was good, good conditions," said Schaudt. "I just executed what I practice.
"I've been getting the consistency to know that I have the ability to be jumping far."
Sophomore Phyllis Francis captured the women's 200 in 23.58, just edging teammate Lauryn Newson, who ran an 23.67. That was the eighth-fastest time in school history. Heptathlete Brianne Theisen set a personal best in a third-place finish in 23.99.
Parker Stinson wrapped up the successful day for the Ducks by winning the Bill McChesney, Jr., 5,000 meters in 14:02.93.
"It's my first time getting to do a victory lap so that was pretty cool," said the sophomore from Austin, Texas.
In other action Friday night, sophomore Laura Bobek set a seasonal best in the women's discus with a runner-up throw of 160-5/48.91m. In the men's discus, senior Randall Horn also had a 2012 best throw of 160-1/48.80m in a third place finish in the men's discus.
Junior Devin Gosberry was second in her heat of the women's 200 meters in an outdoor personal-best 24.68.
Junior Chris Stubbs made his Oregon debut in the men's 200 meters. The transfer from Lane Community College won his heat in 22.03.
"It went pretty good for the first time on the track as an official Oregon athlete," said the Eugene native and Willamette High School graduate. "It gave me a boost. It was a good workout so I'm to going to be too critical of myself."
Freshman Allie Woodward ran a personal-best 16:38.01 to finish second in the women's 5,000 meters.

Man shoots self in penis with girlfriends pink pistol, charges possible
by Catherine Holland
Posted on August 9, 2011 at 10:41 AM
Updated yesterday at 12:00 PM
CHANDLER, Ariz. Police are preaching firearms safety after a Chandler man accidentally shot himself in the penis with his girlfriend's little pink pistol.
It happened last week outside a grocery store near Elliot and Alma School roads.
According to Chandler police, Joshua Seto, 27, was tucking the little gun reportedly a Taurus 380 Compact Pistol similar to the one pictured above into his waistband as he walked toward the store with his girlfriend, Cara Christopher.
The gun went off. The bullet hit Seto's penis and continued through his left thigh.
Christopher, 26, called 911 and was instructed on how to stanch the blood flow.
Seto was taken to a local hospital and has since been released. It's not clear if the wound will cause him any permanent damage.
Police said its not clear if the gun's safety was engaged when it fired.
Regardless, police say Seto's experience underscores the importance of firearms safety training.
In addition to knowing how to safely and correctly handle a weapon, police warn people that if they are going to carry a gun, they should always have a proper holster. A gun tucked in a waistband, something commonly seen in television shows, might look "cool" and seem convenient, but in reality it is inherently dangerous.
While the incident was an accident, police said it's possible that Seto could faces weapons or endangerment charges.
Sgt. Joseph Favazzo of the Chandler Police Department said the case is under investigation.
It just shows that you can't idiot proof a gun...even if it's pink.
Sounds like Cara is single, so how you doing
Wow .. some real dull thinking there
I do own a pink gun (kinda - I bought my daughter one)
It's a Sig .22 and it's a great shooter.
I take it to the range every now and then .. I do get a little ribbing .. but I don't care
Pink guns are just more sissy-fication of America!
Ride, Shoot Straight, and Speak the Truth. T.Roosevelt
dondavis3, you do have a holster for it I hope? Not carrying it gansta style?
Actually I don't carry it at all.
it's too heavy
oh yes, blame a pink gun.... cause idiots never shoot there own junk off with a tricked out engraved, ivory grip, gold accented stop and rob special.
darwin was right
Ouch! It was probably one of those Taurus Beretta clones with the 1911 "Cocked" and locked type action. My stepfather owned a Beretta .25 jetfire that I believe had that type of action that needs to be carried in a small holster.
That is a horrible story... But Tarus .380??? Hmmm, not to say that he wasn't a dumbass, but the Taurus brand and safeties dont really go together well, theres many youtube videos about how the safety on many taurus pistols don't always work. Sometimes the gun is the problem.

Thats not to say I wasn't thinking about getting the PT145 anyways because its 350 on Budsgunsshop, but holding off for now

The Pediatric Cardiology Program provides comprehensive, state-of-the-art diagnosis, treatment and long-term follow-up care for infants, children and adolescents with all types of acquired and congenital cardiac conditions.
Our team has particular expertise and achieves excellent outcomes in several areas, including percutaneous transcatheter (minimally invasive) procedures, echocardiography, fetal echocardiography, lipid disorders and adult congenital heart disease.
Cardiology services include:
As a separate but fully integrated part of Massachusetts General Hospital—a pioneer and leader in the treatment and research of cardiac disease—Pediatric Cardiology offers patients and their families the best of both worlds, including:
All of this—and much more—is provided within the family-friendly setting of a pediatric "hospital within a hospital." Outpatient services are provided in the beautiful new Yawkey Center for Outpatient Care and many other convenient locations in Massachusetts. Inpatient care is provided in spacious, up-to-date units that were specifically designed to appeal to children and meet the unique needs of pediatric patients and their families.
Patients undergoing diagnosis and treatment in Pediatric Cardiology also benefit from having access to all the advanced technologies available at Mass General—technologies that, in some cases, might not otherwise be available to pediatric patients.
The size of the Pediatric Cardiology practice fosters a sense of intimacy that is very reassuring to both parents and children, and encourages close communication among the multidisciplinary specialists involved in each child's care, including referring physicians.
Our commitment to clinical excellence, combined with our focus on understanding and addressing the unique needs of each patient and family, is one of the reasons parents are highly satisfied with the care their child has received.
The cornerstone of Pediatric Cardiology is our closely knit multidisciplinary team of physicians and other pediatric care providers, who work collaboratively to provide personalized care for each patient.
This team includes not only highly experienced board-certified pediatric cardiologists, all of whom are on the faculty of Harvard Medical School, but also cardiac anesthesiologists, nurses, intensivists, social workers, child life specialists, case managers, chaplains, dietitians and others. All of these dedicated professionals specialize in the management of pediatric patients.
A physician member of this team communicates regularly and works collaboratively with the referring physician and patient's family to ensure that each child's care is well-coordinated, whether the patient is an inpatient, outpatient or back at home. We understand the important role of referring physicians in the patient's and family's life, and return patients to their care as quickly as possible.
While every member of the patient's care team is vitally important, we are especially proud of our pediatric nurses, whose dedication and expertise helped make Mass General a Magnet Hospital—the state's first—which is the highest honor for nursing excellence.
Pediatric Cardiology offers a comprehensive range of services to meet the unique needs of each patient and family from before birth and continuing throughout childhood and adulthood.
Through regular, interdisciplinary meetings and close collaboration, all of these services are seamlessly integrated so that each patient's care is always well-coordinated and the patient's family and referring physicians are kept well-informed.
Congenital heart malformations are among the most common and can be associated with poor health consequences. The General Pediatric Cardiology Program offers outpatient pediatric cardiology services for children with or suspected of having congenital heart disease, as well as other cardiac problems. We frequently see patients for conditions such as congenital heart disease, arrhythmias, murmurs, suspected Kawasaki Disease, fainting, breathing difficulty, chest discomfort symptoms, exercise-related complaints, abnormal tests suggesting heart disease, and children with a family history concerning for heart disease, among other things. Outpatient services are provided in the beautiful new Yawkey Center for Outpatient Care and many other convenient locations in Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire.
We offer an Inpatient Pediatric Cardiology Service that provides care to children in the pediatric emergency department, pediatric wards, pediatric intensive care unit, well baby nursery, and neonatal intensive care unit. We care for infant and pediatric patients with congenital heart disease, cardiac arrhythmias, heart failure, myocarditis, Kawasaki's disease, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy to name a few. This service provides advanced inpatient services including advanced cardiac imaging, pediatric cardiac critical care including cardiac management of infants and pediatric patients on extra corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The service is staffed by cardiologists who are board certified in Pediatrics, Pediatric Cardiology, and Pediatric Critical Care and includes our Pediatric Cardiac Nurse Practitioner. We work closely with our families and other pediatric subspecialties to ensure all of our patients needs receive the highest level care. Inpatient care is provided in spacious, up-to-date units that were specifically designed to appeal to children and meet the unique needs of pediatric patients and their families.
Our 14-bed Pediatric Intensive Care Unit provides monitoring and life-sustaining treatment for critically ill infants, children, and adolescents. Our PICU offers advanced cardiovascular, neurological and respiratory support, including extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), which was pioneered at Mass General. All PICU attending physicians are trained in pediatric critical care medicine, and cardiac patients are followed by a dedicated cardiac intensivist as well as their pediatric cardiologist.
Our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit provides critical care to premature and critically ill neonates. The NICU has 14 licensed ICU beds and four intermediate-care beds. This Level III unit provides the most advanced technological resources for cardiac patients, including ECMO, inhaled nitric oxide, total body hypothermia, and the specialized expertise of a multidisciplinary neonatology team that includes a cardiac intensivist, as well as the Heart Center attending involved in the infant's care.
In both the PICU and NICU (as well as general inpatient pediatric units), parents or guardians are welcome at any time, and may stay overnight at their child's bedside in comfortable sleep chairs or day beds. Parents and family members have access to free wireless Internet service, and there is a children's play area to help keep siblings occupied.
MassGeneral Hospital for Children offers a wide range of services and programs designed to help patients of all ages and their family members understand and cope with the diagnosis and treatment of a cardiac condition.
A Family Support Group gives parents, including those with a prenatal diagnosis of congenital heart disease, an opportunity to share experiences and advice, and provide each other with emotional support.
Our other services include pre-admission tours for children and families, one-on-one and group educational programs and a School Re-Entry Program.
Additional services available to MGHfC patients and families include:
Accepting New Patients
Not Accepting New Patients

UK: British Conservative Party fundraiser resigns amid scandal
A British Conservative Party fundraiser resigned on Sunday after a report alleging he offered journalists posing as financiers access to Prime Minister David Cameron in return for donations of £250,000 (299,000 euros).
The party's co-Treasurer Peter Cruddas stood down within a few hours of the Sunday Times report and video of him telling the bogus financiers the contributions would allow them to ask Cameron "practically any question you want. "
"I deeply regret any impression of impropriety arising from my bluster in that conversation," Cruddas said.
"Specifically, it was categorically not the case that I could offer, or that David Cameron would consider, any access as a result of a donation," he said.
"But in order to make that clear beyond doubt, I have regrettably decided to resign with immediate effect."
In resigning, Cruddas emphasized that he had not consulted any politicians or senior party officials before meeting the undercover journalists, and he denied that donors would have been able to influence policy or gain undue access to politicians.
Talk isn't cheap
The Sunday Times reporters posed as Liechtenstein-based fund managers searching for contacts with Cameron and other ministers on behalf of investors in the Middle East.
Cruddas reportedly told the bogus investors that, with the funding, "things will open up for you." He advised them that a donation of £100,000 was a minimum, but that £200,000 or £250,000 was "premier league."
He said that once they meet Cameron, "within that room, everything is confidential, and you will be able to ask him practically any question that you want," he said.
He also reportedly suggested the bogus investors could influence party policy. "If you are unhappy about something, we will listen to you and we will put it into the policy committee at Number 10."
And when the undercover journalists said the money for the donations would come from a foreign wealth fund, which is banned under British election law, Cruddas reportedly said there were "ways to work around it."
He went on to tell them the access would be "awesome for your business," and explained that some of the party's bigger donors had enjoyed dinner with Cameron and his wife in their private apartment at Number 10.
Party image suffers
The allegations are damaging for Cameron and the Conservatives, who have been trying to rehabilitate their image. The party is often accused of being too linked to the wealthy elite and interests of business.
The Conservatives are already facing backlash following a budget last week that cut tax for top earners while freezing tax allowances for pensioners – as part of the nation's strict austerity program to cut its budget deficit. There were also some tax cuts for lower earners, but many Britons viewed the budget with suspicion that the government was looking after the wealthy and overlooking those suffering higher unemployment and falling incomes.
For those who hold this view, Sunday's allegations will do little to change their minds.
The party, in response to Sunday's report, said no donation had been accepted or formally considered, and that it complied with electoral funding legislation.

One of the many interesting controversies that microbiologists can ponder today is whether the alarming proliferation of antibiotic-resistant strains is primarily a consequence of the widespread use of antibiotics in humans and in animal husbandry. An examination of bacteria isolated from terrestrial animals in the Galapagos, a remote location with limited exposure to humans, revealed an absence of antibiotic resistance genes. Likewise, plasmids from bacterial collections that predate the antibiotic era were mostly devoid of resistance elements. Furthermore, a study of Dutch soil samples showed an increase in antibiotic resistance genes in contemporary samplings as compared to those from the pre-antibiotic era. On the other hand, antibiotic resistance genes were both abundant and diverse in ancient DNA recovered from Pleistocene deposits (30,000 years ago). Likewise, a survey of present-day actinomycetes revealed that multidrug resistance was prevalent even though human sources of antibiotics were presumed absent in this environment.

Tides in Our Lives
Marijo Phelps
8/06/2010 / Devotionals
We have all probably lived through a few seasons of change. Springtime comes and goes into summer, then all the leaves fall off making a carpet of crunchy orange-green-brown-reddish leaves underfoot, then, if you are blessed, comes the frost and snow.
Standing at the ocean or even on the shores of a lake you can see the waves and the tide. You can actually get a snapshot of the weather watching those waves; white caps on wild and windy days, reflective times shown on the glass mirrored surface of a lake on a windless day. God sees our lives like that too. Sometimes He talks to us about our "ebbs and flows":
Child, there are ebbs and flows to life. You are beginning to see the reason and the beauty in both. You can sense/anticipate a glimmer of what I AM doing but yet see "as in a glass darkly" (like in a foggy bathroom mirror after a shower).
Keep on seeking Me. Keep on turning your heart unto Me. Each beat which would be out of time with My heartbeat you can yield to Me and I can redeem.
Remember winters/dormant times are not sluggish hibernation times, only times of growing roots and rest and increased sap to give life to the springtime fruit.
In no season is more done and less apparent. Don't take your ease but also cease striving. I will make it ALL happen.
Stay in My Word and soak. I will give you richness/fullness of growth. Don't "beat the bushes" for projects/busyness but flow in Me.
Minister creatively unto him I've given you. I shall lead. How shall he begin to know how much I, his Father, love him?
Sing psalms and melodies of praise and being to the Great I AM, Father of all, throughout your day. Selah.
In 1 Corinthians 13:12 the Bible speaks of us seeing in a mirror, dimly (now) but then we will see "face to face". Now I see in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.
Can you even begin to imagine seeing the Creator of the Universe "face to face"? Frankly, I can't wait, though somehow I suspect this is another area where I will be retaking Patience 101 for a few more weeks yet.
In Philippians 1:6 the writer expresses his confidence in God when he says "being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ. " I too, am confident of "this very thing". It is all because of Jesus that this former atheist has now been walking in a relationship with Jesus for almost 36 years. I know that Jesus, who began that work in me will complete it. And I take this time to publically say "yes, Lord Jesus, YES!"
PRAYER: Oh, Lord Jesus, your Word is SO rich, help me to soak and internalize all you give to me!

From 2000-2012 the 226 teams ranked No. 100 or worse in total offense combined for a win percentage of 30.9 and only 33 of the 226 teams finished the season with a winning record.
Those numbers show that Gus Malzahn's coaching staff must address issues on both sides of the football as the Tigers prepare for the 2013 season.
Reviewing recent history delivers a strong dose of reality when looking at what Auburn must overcome in 2013. Since 2000 only 3.5 teams per season ranked No. 60 or worse in total defense improved into the top 25 in that statistic the following season. This equates to only 6.5 percent of the teams ranked No. 60 or worse in total defense.
In terms of making it to top 40 status, only 14.7 percent have accomplished that over the past 12 seasons. In reality 70.5 percent of the teams ranked No. 60 or worse in total defense remain the same or drop in ranking the following season. This is a far cry from the 1.6 percent that transitioned from No. 60 to a top 10 ranking the following year.
Since 2000 only 5.5 teams per season ranked No. 60 or worse in total offense moved to top 25 status the following year. This equates to 10.1 percent of the teams ranked No. 60 or worse in total offense from 2000-2012. Of the 706 teams ranked at No. 60 or worse in total offense from 2000-2011, only 20.2 percent improved to top 40 status the following season. Of the 706 teams ranked No. 60 or worse in total offense, 65.3 percent remained the same or dropped in ranking the following season. There were 18 teams of the 706 that managed to shoot to the top 10 (2.5 percent) the following season.
Over the past 25 years of Auburn football we have witnessed significant improvement on defense within a one-year period. The 2000 Tigers improved from No. 55 in total defense during 1999 to No. 14 in 2000. Auburn improved from No. 48 in scoring defense in 2001 to No. 13 in 2002. Auburn's 1992 team was No. 5 in scoring defense, improving 33 spots from No. 38 during 1991. It doesn't happen frequently, but there has been tremendous improvement from one season to another on the Plains. The primary obstacle for new coordinator Ellis Johnson and his assistants is Auburn has been stagnant on defense for four consecutives seasons.
Offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee (left), head coach Gus Malzahn and defensive coordinator (Ellis Johnson) have the assignment of directing the planned improvements on both sides of the line of scrimmage.
Offensively, Auburn has seen significant transformation during one season over the past 25 years. The 1993 team improved to No. 25 in total offense from No. 78 the season before. Coordinator Al Borges improved the offense to No. 25 during 2004 from No. 61 in 2003.
Malzahn made the biggest impact by improving the offense from No. 104 in 2008 to No. 16 in 2009. This included an improvement in scoring offense from No. 111 in 2008 to No. 17 in 2009.
Auburn's new head coach has been down this road before while at Auburn, which should be comforting to the AU faithful. It also helps the Tigers that Malzahn has only been away from Auburn for one season, which means he is familiar with many of the returning players.
With the current scholarship roster the offense appears to be in better position to improve in 2013 than the defense, but Johnson is also familiar and experienced with transforming a poor defense into a competitive one. He improved Alabama's team from No. 59 in total defense to No. 9 the following season. He transformed a Mississippi State team from No. 51 in total defense in 2004 to No. 29 in 2005.
Perhaps his most impressive renovation occurred while at South Carolina in his first year as the Gamecocks' defensive coordinator. During the 2008 season the Gamecocks went from No. 56 in total defense to No. 13. They improved from No. 110 to No. 43 in run defense and No. 88 in sacks to No. 35.
From 2004-2008 South Carolina signed 71 players on defense and 77.8 percent of those recruits were rated as 2-3 star players, according to Scout.com. Despite playing with less heavily recruited prospects compared to conference rivals, under Johnson the Gamecocks immediately fielded a solid defense during his first season on the job.
Johnson's first season at Auburn will involve four previous recruiting classes featuring 45.6 percent 4-5 star rated players, twice the number he had to work with when he arrived in Columbia. Johnson clearly got a lot out of the personnel he inherited at South Carolina and Auburn is hoping for a repeat of that process in 2013.
History tells us major transformations can happen, but there is not a high probability for immediate success. This alone should temper the expectation of Auburn fans for the first season under Malzahn, but considerable improvement would not be shocking. The good news for the Tigers is they have coaches in place who have been part of major transformations before and have proven they can get the job done.

two taps to win?
how about 1 tap to win
whats with the goofy rules
Because 2 is better than 1! And we all know you can definitely get 2 taps in a 4 min round!
Never seen rules like this before.....dont get it.
Revolutionary that's why, everyone will be doing it soon. Heard it's going to be brought into boxing as well, 2 knockouts to guarantee the win.
Rules are gay, boycott this!
The two taps rule was to encourage people to actively seek submissions rather than just get a dominant position and hold it. I agree its going to be hard within 4mins but it also means that most fights will go the full 4mins and we hope that will result in people getting better value for money and more mat time.
It's something we want to try and see how it goes. We have trialed it in training and its been working well but obviously we understand its a little different when in competition. Whether or not you agree with the rule it should still be a good day and we have had a fair bit of interest in the competition so hopefully it will go well and it provides some good experience to those that compete.
I understand why you're doing it but think that a single submission only format would work better than two submissions. No submission and both get dq'd is used by a few people now and seems to work better if you don't want to go down the points route.
Just a quick note to say how good this tournament was. Well organised and smoothly run - the format worked really well.
Wasn't sure about the 2 submission rule before the day, but it really motivates you to be active, and when you're tapped twice you KNOW you're beaten :D
I hope there's another one soon, I'll defo go again.
Good work guys.
Glad you enjoyed it. We've been getting some really good feedback and will hopefully be having at least 2 events a year now that we have got the first one out of the way.

Goodyear Authority AT's?
i saw these tires the other day and i was wondering if anyone has them and if they're any good?
My limited understanding of them and with no personal experience is that they are exclusive to Walmart and therefore less than many other ATs in the same range. That's about all I know. That and I would NEVER buy tires from Walmart or have them touch my Jeep. :thumb:
they look damn good though, I see a lot of similarities to duratracs. The duratracs have about the best reviews of tires I've seen, the walmart tires seem to be hit or miss when reading reviews.
I think that is a Goodyear tire specifically branded for Walmart ie "Authority". Canadian Tire have a somewhat similar tire branded "Territory" and is made by Goodyear. You may find this Thread interesting and helpful re those two tires. Take a look at Post #16. http://www.wranglerforum.com/f5/good...-tj-65963.html
I have the Goodyear "Territory" and find them great so far.
I run them on my 03 Ram 2500 and love them, they handle great and do good in the snow and the limited mud in the horse field.
I havent ran them on a jeep, so it all depends on what your looking for. They are an agressive AT
Down here all the Game Wardens in Miss. and Lou. use the MT's, from Good Year not Wally World.
Seems kinda silly that they would make two very similar tires. The Duratrac looks to be the better tire, but that Authority AT is pretty darn aggressive. I think you can get the Duratrac for about the same price, so I would personally skip over the Authority.
As to touching my Jeep, anybody that operates a hoist (what did they use for jack points?) or changes tires (how tight are those lug nuts?) is a risk one has to take unfortunately. When they are busy and working by the job, watch out, no matter where you take your vehicle. I use my torque wrench to recheck tightness and sometimes the lug nuts aren't tight enough and sometimes they are over tightened to say 120 ft.lbs. WalMart here often has a second person check the tightness, which is better than most places, and they use/state 100 ft.lbs.
thanks! i was just wondering if they were any good. I do have duratrac's and they are great! but i think for my next set of tires i might go with AT's (undecided on the brand yet). Before I got the duratrac i was trying to get ahold of some KM2's but everyone i mean everyone was out of stock so i went with duratrac.

Mesabi Trust (NYSE:MSB) is a royalty trust engaged in the mining and shipping of iron ore pellets, which are mostly used in the steel industry. The value of MSB is primarily based off its stream of royalty income (a product of tons shipped and prices received), and unlike some other trusts, the liquidation date of the trust is far off in the future and not a factor, which creates more volatility, since the value cannot be precisely determined. What is known is that the dividends are seasonal in nature, with the largest distribution coming after the strong summer shipping months and insignificant distributions occurring in the winter months when the waters in Minnesota freeze up. The lessee/operator of Mesabi Trust's mineral interests is Northshore Mining Corporation, a subsidiary of Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. (NYSE:CLF), which is one of the world largest iron ore producers.
On October 12, MSB announced a dividend of $1.12, which was equal to last year's dividend. Given the strong shipping numbers that MSB had been reporting, this was actually a disappointment, caused by a realized sales price for iron ore of only $78, which was a reflection of the slowdown in demand for global steel. Iron ore prices bottomed around $80 last quarter and have since rebounded to above $110, but it is important to note that pricing is soft, and the last time iron ore prices hit $80, MSB was trading as low as $18, so a further softening in iron ore could have a significant impact
More germane to the current situation is the seasonal nature of MSB's stock price and the opportunity to use this recent run-up to short a company with poor to mediocre fundamentals. Since the October dividend is almost always the strongest distribution by far, many investors buy the stock just to receive it, and then, faced with the prospect of receiving dividends over the next 364 days that barely exceed the October dividend, there is a rush to the door to sell the stock.
Keeping in mind that the recently announced distribution was actually a disappointment (and 2011 was a huge positive surprise), I have prepared data to show skilled traders where MSB was on the day of the announcement - the high after the announcement, and where MSB was trading a month after the "dividend squeeze."
|Pre Div Price
|Post Div Hi
|1 Month Later
As you can see from the above data, the decrease from the post-dividend squeeze has ranged between (9%) and (18%). The huge decline last year was partially the result of the run-up from the positive dividend surprise, but given that this year's announcement was Below Projection, and the stock has already run 14% in a weak market, I would expect the price to fall back to at least the pre-dividend price of $27.05. If the iron ore market continues to soften and the prospect of dividends going to 60 cents and then 5 cents over the next two quarters, we could once again test the lows of $23, which were made at the end of last year.
Take advantage of the post-dividend run-up and short MSB for a quick profit after the dividend is paid out.
Disclosure: I am short MSB. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

Malaysia Airlines says it now is fearing the worst for the passengers and crew of its missing plane that disappeared early Saturday.
The Boeing 777 carrying 239 people is presumed to have crashed of the Vietnamese coast after taking off from Kuala Lumpur. Four Americans, including an infant were on the flight. The airline said it has brought in a disaster recovery management team from Atlanta, Georgia to help in the efforts to find the plane.
Search crews are looking for wreckage in the area of some oil slicks Vietnamese rescue planes spotted in the South China Sea.
U.S. officials are reviewing possible terror links in connection with a missing Malaysian airliner.
Authorities have been reviewing the passenger manifest list and cross-checking names with their international colleagues after Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 disappeared with 239 on board while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing early Saturday local time.
Currently there is no information as to what has happened to the plane.
At least two people were using stolen passports on the missing Malaysia Airline flight.
An Italian and Australian man listed on the plane's manifest are both safe, though each had reported his passport stolen in the past two years.

Search crews are looking for wreckage off the coast of Vietnam.
