Rumours that QPR have made a bid for Scott Parker, which would be a great signing. Not sure he'd want that move though.
Arsenal are in Turmoil. Booed off after there first home game!
QPR team struck by virus. Dj and Boothroyd out. Adel's sick, yet still starting, as it Connolly. Not looking good:-(. He'll be a handfull for the everton defence
Although am glad big Dave is getting a chance

Saudi heritage revival too late to save many cultural treasures
By Angus McDowall
ASIR, Saudi Arabia (Reuters) - If Rijal Almaa, a stone village tucked into a fold of Saudi Arabia's southern mountains, showcases the polished end-point of new efforts in the kingdom to preserve cultural heritage, the hamlet of Watan Emsoudah represents the difficulties faced.
Its low-covered alleyways lie thick with the debris of decades of abandonment, some stone house roofs have caved in and thistles grow high between the hamlet's walls, but near the entrance three men are working to save a house.
Saudi Arabia has allocated nearly $1 billion to preserve its heritage in a new reform plan, but after decades of neglect, and in some cases deliberate destruction, saving its cultural treasures will prove complex and expensive.
While that money was allocated in a National Transformation Programme unveiled this month, no details were given as to how it would be spent and the only tourism projects listed in the plan were for a few large sites.
"For maybe 40 years we stopped using these old houses and every five years you need to rehabilitate them," said Abdulaziz al-Ghanem representative of Asir's architectural heritage center at the government's General Commission for Tourism and Antiquities. "I hope we get more money. We need it."
Watan Emsoudah is one of around 4,000 old villages in Asir Province in the kingdom's southwest and the project to restore it to save architectural tradition and boost tourism is one of eight in the region by a local investor.
Rehabilitating the village, swaddled by terraced fields in a shallow bowl on a mountain plateau, will cost around 6 million riyals ($1.6 million), says Ibrahim al-Almiy, a former history teacher and the local investor behind these projects.
That high cost - for one tiny village in a country where most old dwellings were deserted for modern concrete houses after last century's oil boom - shows how little of its heritage Saudi Arabia may be able to protect even with new investment. Continued...

Searchers spot body on Mount Hood
June 30, 2013 2:30 AM
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Authorities searching for a climber who has been missing on Mount Hood since last weekend said Saturday that they have spotted a body near the top of a glacier.
Oregon Army National Guard Blackhawk helicopter crews made the discovery at an altitude of about 8,400 feet, the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.
The sheriff's office said officials believe there's a high probability that the body belongs to Kinley Adams.
The 59-year-old Salem dentist failed to return June 22 from a climb on the west side of Oregon's tallest mountain.
The terrain is extremely difficult and authorities were not able to reach the body on Saturday.
Recovery teams will begin to try to reach the body early today.

Pelavin: "As labor battles unfold in other states, the Reform Jewish Movement will continue to defend the right to collective bargaining."
Contact: Eric Harris or Jonathan Backer
202.387.2800 | firstname.lastname@example.com
WASHINGTON, D.C., March 10, 2011 -- In response to the passage of anti-labor legislation in Wisconsin, Mark Pelavin, Associate Director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, issued the following statement:
For weeks, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker has insisted that his true intention in offering a so-called "budget repair bill," that contained deeply anti-labor provisions, was to restore the fiscal health of the state. On Wednesday night, the bill's supporters abruptly and utterly exposed the hollowness of that claim.
The bill that the state legislature ultimately passed did not decrease the deficit by one cent. It couldn't. With a quorum necessary under legislative rules to pass fiscal items, and with 14 Senators absent from the chamber in protest, the bill's supporters stripped the legislation of every item that actually affected the budget while leaving in place their true and core objective -- the elimination of state employees' collective bargaining rights. Though the workers had already acceded to contributing a greater portion of their wages to benefits and pensions, state legislators successfully pressed forward in removing their ability to recover their previous level of compensation once economic conditions improve and state coffers are replenished.
Clearly, passage of this legislation is a profound setback to workers' rights in Wisconsin. Unfortunately, Wisconsin is far from the only state in which workers' rights are under assault. With the legislative standoff in Wisconsin over, focus now turns to Ohio, which is considering similar legislation, and Indiana, which is considering a far more extreme "right-to-work" law, which would make it impossible for many unions, both public and private, to operate in the state. Like Wisconsin, the laws being debated in these states have little to do with the budget and everything to do with trampling on workers' rights.
Jewish tradition is emphatic about workers' right to dignity. Deuteronomy teaches, "You shall not abuse a needy and destitute laborer...You must pay out the wages due on the same day, before the sun sets, for the worker is needy and urgently depends on it..." (24:14-15). Unions are the guarantors of modern labor rights. For this reason, the Union of Reform Judaism in its 2005 resolution, "Workers' Rights in the United States," recognizes, "the right to organize is not only an economic issue; it is also a human rights issue."
In recognition of their importance in defending working families, a rabbi from every Reform synagogue in Wisconsin recently joined together with colleagues from other denominations to oppose the legislation that ultimately became law. As labor battles unfold in other states, the Reform Jewish Movement will continue to defend the right to collective bargaining.

There are alot of great products out there this one just fit the bill for me.
Good Luck and Good shooting.
Wow, those Nighthawk's run at an extremely high price! Any specific model you'd recommend? Like Predator, Talon 5" or Vickers Tactical.
There are alot of great products out there this one just fit the bill for me.
Good Luck and Good shooting.
Well, it's not really about a money issue, as I somewhat believe that you get what you pay for. If you want quality, then 9 times out of 10 you have to fork over the extra $$. Hence why my opinion was to opt for the Springfield Operator over the Kimber TLE/RL II. The Springfield Operator would set you back between $1600-1800. An extra $400 or so would let you get the Nighthawk Talon 5".
I will definitely look into those Nighthawk's though. From what I've seen just briefly, the Talon 5" is a very very nice looking piece. http://www.nighthawkcustom.com/image...alon5_1_xl.jpg
Hmm I've just noticed though, that the Talon 5" (I think that's the one) doesn't have a tac rail. But the GRP Recon does, as well as having the Surefire X-200 attached. http://www.nighthawkcustom.com/images/nh-grpr_1_xl.jpg
Very interesting indeed. Just where exactly is that Nighthawk plant? lol

Have you looked at the new offering from WC?
This CarryComp has really generated interest and it certainly caught my eye. Havn't shot one yet - but it's on the list.
Good luck!
I have yet to shoot anything that feels like a Colt in my hand, that shoots like a Colt, that performs like a Colt, or is a accurate as a Colt, right out of the box. A prudent shooter can customize the Colt to rival even the snappiest STIs, the "Stealth" Paras, and the "full whatever" Springers.
All my Colts are rock soild and solid performers! I even have a Kimber, it's OK, but, its' not a Colt!
It's a free country, and I understand many folks don't like Colt.
That's their problem!
The Tallon is available with the Recon Frame for $100.00 if you want to hang a headlight on your gun. IMO I do not see any use for this feature unless you are a LEO or just plain like it. As I said before you can just about get anything you like to customize this gun.
Berryville Arkansas is about 40 miles south of Branson, MO.
Wilson is also near Berryville, and Nighthawk is made up of quite a few of the Wilson employees who opened the Nighthawk plant just a few years ago.
Boy am I stupid, I just noticed that you would have quite a drive to get to the Nighthawk plant in Arkansas from near the Land of OZ. OOPs
Good Luck

You really need to get out and test fire some of the guns you are interested in. I know this is supposed to be for your boyfriend, and you probably want to suprise him. But, shooting the gun (or a similar one) is very important.
If you can narrow the choice down to three or four, then you could find one or more ranges that let you rent the guns. Take him out to the range to fire the guns so that HE can make the choice.
To me, just going out with my loved one to test fire guns would make a great date.
Just my 2 penny's worth.
What ever you do, have fun, don't stress out about it.
Never argue with drunks or crazy people.
Oh I'm not stressed about it. I enjoy finding out about different brands etc. I understand that online research is not the same as trying it out for yourself, however it does have it's advantages, and the fact that it's all I can do at the present moment.
It's not a suprise for my boyfriend either. He's fully aware that I want to buy him one, and the topic is discussed very regularly *almost nightly* as we both research it.
About the date thing, he takes me shooting anyway and I love it. It's something that we both enjoy.
...and that's my 2 cents worth.
My opinion would be to go with the Kimber, but that's my opinion, and it's worth exactly what you paid for it....
I voted Colt, but carry a Kimber.
I think Colts are better than anything else as "base guns" to have made into something great. None of the Colts come from the factory set-up like I want, although I could live with some.
I carry a Kimber because I got one that came set-up like I want. I have three, and they have all been fine. Colts are just made from better materials, in my opinion.
I REALLY enjoy building my own 1911s. So ... I vote for mine.
cocobolo this time, this gun is easier to carry at a little over an inch shorter and at 28 ounces as opposed to the 41 ounces of my full sized steel 1911.
Both guns have most of the goodies that we used to have to pay for, like lowered ejection ports, beveled mag well, combat sights, beaver tail grip safety, checker mainspring housing, full length guide rods and springs and the price while not cheap is not bad considering what you get and what you don't have to do to them.
My only real concern was the external extractor which has been a problem in alot of semi-auto pistols, and one that is causing Kimber alot of problems lately, but stopping to consider that all of Smiths guns have used this system for decades with no trouble, I think S&W knows somethig that the rest doesn't about externals, so I took a chance and haven't had a problem, this new one now has about five hundred or more rounds through it and not one failure to feed or fire, it's been 100% reliable, and soon will have earned the right to be one of those that I would bet my life on.
I do prefer the semi-custom guns. i have the following and each project a certain presence and character. i can's say which is ultimately the best, because they exhibit a varying degree of art, funtion and faults. however they all are remarkably accurate and reliable. here we go:
nhc predator
sa trp op
les baer trs
wilson cqb
used to own a buch of stuff, but they are all gone and these are the final pieces that i believe are the best guns for me. couple of other additions would be a government sized Ed Brown and a commander sized NHC in the future. Enjoy.....
Last edited by reflection01; 11-16-2006 at 05:50 AM.
Kimbers or Springfields without the external extractor "improvement" and guns without the "improved" firing pin block, and without any locking device.
My next .45 may have to be the Kimber with the aluminum frame. I think a full-size Government Model with a lightweight frame would be the bees knees.
That's a sweet looking Nighthawk

The USF men's basketball gets its regular season started 7 p.m. Saturday with a test against Tennessee Tech at the Sun Dome. The Bulls are 31-11 all-time in season openers and have a 2-0 lead in its series with the Golden Eagles that dates back to 1975. "We've got one under our belt, but these count. I think we learned a lot from our first exhibition," head coach Stan Heath said. One of the Bulls' main objectives in the offseason was to get more help in the inside game and two of Heath's newest acquisitions made an instant impact against Barry. Freshmen Chris Perry (6-foot-8) and John Egbunu (6-10) combined for 20 points, 12 rebounds and four blocks. "Both have a presence inside, whether it's catching and shooting, shot blocking or rebounding," Heath said. "The combination of the two equaled 20 points and 12 rebounds. For two guys to kind of handle that position, that's a pretty good night. If we can get that every night we'll be awfully happy." Perry (Bartow, Fla.) and Egbunu (Fort Walton Beach) will look to help the Bulls rule the boards against an Ohio Valley Conference opponent that averaged 33.5 rebounds per game last season. Tennessee Tech returns four starters, including senior Dennis Ogbe, who averaged 10.8 points and 5.4 rebounds in 2012-13. "They're very good on the glass," Heath said. Heath also said the transition game will be a focus for the USF defense as it tries to contain senior guard Jeremiah Samarrippas (Bartow, Fla.) who collected 123 assists in his first season with the Golden Eagles. "They get up and run well and they space well. They're a team we have to be on-guard for," Heath said. USF finishes up a two-game home stand 7 p.m. Tuesday against Bethune-Cookman before hitting the road for the first time to face Bowling Green on Nov. 15 at 8:30 p.m. MORE FROM Men's Basketball Gregory Outlines USF's Progress at Summer Stampede Men's Basketball 2017-18 Conference Pairings USF MBB 2017 Signing Class @USFMBB USF Men's Basketball @USFMBB WHAT'S HOT news: USF Receiver Group Becoming a 'Monster' news: No. 23/24 Bulls Extend Win Streak to 22 Games news: Williams Becomes Program's First All-American

Omaha Murder Suspect Nabbed In Missouri
Authorities say a man sought in the slaying of a woman at a west Omaha apartment has been arrested in Missouri.
Police say Anthony Burries was taken into custody by officers in Odessa, Missouri, on Monday evening. He awaits extradition to Omaha. Online court records don't list the name of his attorney in the case.
A warrant for Burries' arrest was issued earlier Monday. It said the charge was first-degree murder. He's accused of killing Tina Hoult, with whom he'd had a relationship. Her body was found Sunday morning in her apartment after officers were sent to check on her well-being.
Court records say Burries has a prison record for theft and firearms violations and for domestic abuse in assaulting Hoult in December 2012.

Linaria 'Licilia Azure' is a fabulous award winning variety with clouds of charming little long-spurred, snapdragon-like flowers in sparkling shades of light blue to indigo-violet.
'Black Magic' is an improved Italian Black Kale, more cold tolerant, vigorous and slower-to-bolt than other Italian kales. They form an easy-to-harvest rosette of very dark, savoyed leaves with a flavour that is rich and mild.
Spinach 'F1 Banjo' is one of a series of modern varieties named after instruments. With greater resistance from going to seed and to disease, they are suitable for spring, summer and autumn production.
Gardeners are often looking for good solid perennials that will have attractive flowers, be easy to take care of, grow nicely but not take over the garden. One group of plants that should be considered is the Veronicas.
Known as 'Asagao', Ipomoea nil is one of the traditional horticultural flowers of Japan. 'Kikyozaki' produces exceptionally large blooms with a unique star shape and is one of the most prolific and showy of all Morning Glories.
Malabar Spinach is valued for the brilliant fuchsia-purplish colour of its leaf stems and veins as well as its mild flavour. Juicy and crisp, the flavours of citrus and pepper accompany the succulent leaves.
In spring, the tiny white, vanilla-scented flowers of Sweet Woodruff hover above whorls of star-like leaves. Valuable as an under-planting, the plants add texture and spark to a deeply shaded part of the garden.
Salvia verticillata 'Purple Fairy Tale' is a spectacular first year flowering perennial. The irresistible deep purple petals gather like raindrops in tiered pools to form whorled flowers.
Sometimes referred to as Perilla 'Britton' and called 'Hojiso' in Japan, this less typical form has beautiful bi-coloured leaves. The serrated, red-veined leaves are green on top and deep purple-red underneath.
Ipomoea lobata is a fast growing climber with an exotic appearance. Tubular, flame-crimson flowers that look spectacular for months. It is one of the best climbers you can grow.
The 'Gourmet Salad Mix' is a blend of the very best tasting and most beautiful lettuces, each variety has been awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit. They can be grown all year round for a continuous supply.
Spectacularly draped with long, velour-like cerise tassels. Persicaria 'Cerise Pearls' is a modern-day, low growing variety. Tall enough to give the same airy effect, yet so much easier to place in the garden.

Magnesium Intake Improves Insulin Resistance
Byron J. Richards, Board Certified Clinical Nutritionist
Listen to Byron Explain
Update Required To play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your Flash plugin.
A new study has looked into the impact of magnesium on individuals with insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome who had not yet developed type 2 diabetes. The study found that most had inadequate magnesium intake. Those with the highest level of magnesium intake reduced their risk for blood sugar and metabolic problems by 71%.
Magnesium is a key nutrient for cardiovascular and metabolic health. It is involved in over 300 enzyme activities of the human body, including those involving blood sugar, blood pressure, and bone health. Lacking magnesium sets the stage for deterioration of efficient metabolic function that builds on itself into more significant health problems.
Many people consume less than 300 mg of magnesium per day. While government guidelines call for 400 mg, it is clear that higher intake, up to 800 mg or more, may be quite helpful. Magnesium is lost in sweat during exercise and used up in higher amounts when a person is under stress.

BYU racked up 357 yards of offense in the first half of Saturday's 38-20 win over Georgia Tech, but just 76 yards in the second half.
What happened?
Offensive coordinator Robert Anae credited Georgia Tech with making some key adjustments in the game when he spoke to reporters on Tuesday.
Anae also spoke about what Houston will present to BYU on defense this Saturday, and various other topics.
Defensively, the Cougars will hope to slow down Houston's attack with one of the best defensive linemen in program history, Eathyn Manumaleuna. Here's a feature on the senior's differing demeanor on and off the field.

Suppose the Fed wishes to use monetary policy to close an expansionary gap.
a. Should the Fed increase or decrease the money supply?
b. If the Fed uses open-market operations, should it buy or sell government securities?
c. Determine whether each of the following increases, decreases, or remains unchanged in the short run: the market interest rate, the quantity of money demanded, investment spending, aggregate demand, potential output, the price level, and equilibrium real GDP.
These questions can largely be answered by the basic formula MV=PQ, where M=money supply, V=velocity, and P=general price level, Q=general output level. PQ is GNP or total expenditures. An expansionary gap, aka an inflationary gap occurs when total spending is greater than what is needed to have full employment without inflation.
a) Given a constant V, lowering M, lowers total spending.
b) When the Fed buys securities, it is putting money into the economy in exchange for government debt.
c) draw a supply and demand curve for money. On the y-axis is the interest rate, x-axis Money. Reducing M shifts the supply curve inward. What happens to the equilibrium interest rate? (hint: increases) Quantity of money demanded is movement along the demand curve. What happens to the equilibrium level of money? With the increase in interest rates, will people invest more or less? Investment spending is a component of aggregate demand (GNP=C+I+G) So, what happens to total aggregate demand with your change in investment spending?
Take a shot on the remaining. Potential output is the amount that would be produced at full employment -- in real terms, measured without inflation.
Suppose the Fed wishes to use monetary policy to close an expansionary gap.
Determine whether each of the following increases, decreases, or remains unchanged in the short run: the market interest rate, the quantity of money demanded, investment spending, aggregate demand, potential output, the price level, and equilibrium real GDP.
market interest rate- increases
quantity of money demanded- unchanged
investment spending- decrease
aggregate demand- increase
potential output- increase
price level- increase
equilibrium real GDP- decrease
market interest rate increases CORRECT.
quantity of money demanded, I think DECREASES. Here is problem of semantics -- terminology that describes things. We generally say that a change in demand is a shift in the demand curve. This clearly does not change in your example problem. However, a change in quantity demanded is a movement along the demand curve. Except in some extreme elasticity assumptions, the quantity demanded is less under your problem.
Investment spending decrease CORRECT.
Aggregate demand increase INCORRECT. Aggregate demand = Aggregate spending = C+I+G. If I goes down, aggregate demand goes down.
Potential output- increase. INCORRECT.
I would argue that potential output does not change. Potential output is the output, in real dollars, that could be obtained under full employment. (One could argue that with less investment there would be less capital and potential output goes DOWN. However, I would argue that potential output includes full use of capital).
Price level- increase. INCORRECT. The goal of closing an expansionary gap is to lower inflation pressure. Price level should decline. (More precisely, price levels should be less than they otherwise would have been).
equilibrium real GDP- decrease. CORRECT -- because of a decline in investment.
List and explain the three tools used by the Fed to manipulate the supply of money. In each case show how the money supply can increase/decrease.

Securing kitchen island to floor with cabinet levellers
After waiting 7 months (delays at the manufacturer), I finally received delivery of my new custom kitchen island cabinets.
When looking at the included hardware, it looks like they sent me a bunch of cabinet levellers and clips for the toe kick. The island is roughly 9x4 and will have a small prep sink and electrical for an 24" beverage centre and the mandatory GFCI plugs.
I'm thinking of calling a kitchen installer (time vs money vs experience), but I'd like to do a bit of research before I get to that point.
I get how to install levellers and the toe kick, but how do I secure the island to the tiled floor? With plubming and electrical coming into play, I don't think the eventual quartz countertop will be heavy enough to "hold it down".
Secondly, how far back from the edge of the cabinet should I install the levellers?

Many people are familiar with their sun sign, but not quite as much with the influence of Venus in their natal chart. Venus is a very important planet that influences how you approach relationships.
No one truly knows how old the practice of reading tarot cards is or where they originated. Many say that the gypsies, who originated from Asia, were the creators of the Tarot while others claim that the Ancient Egyptians read and decorated the first deck.
One of the main reasons that people turn to astrology is to try to divine who the love of their life will be. If you aren't compatible astrologically, the chances are good that you might be a good match for now, but not for life.
Finding love is an unending quest. Knowing which sun sign you are most compatible with will give you an upper hand in finding a long lasting, fulfilling relationship.
There are many connections between the four earth based elements of astrology (wind, water, earth and fire), and the tarot. Typically, these relationships involve various cards within the major arcana, and specific signs of the zodiac.
With these very basic rules, one can begin to study and read Tarot Cards almost immediately. The trickiest aspect of reading Tarot Cards is remembering their meanings. Memorization can be easy if one uses simple steps.
Feng Shui is more than just hanging up a wind chime, or even moving the furniture. Feng Shui is about living in harmony with your place in the world, and attracting good energy into your life and home.
Feng Shui, or the ancient Chinese art of environmental design for better energy flow, has been used by interior designers for years in major corporate offices. How can you apply some of the general principles in your own workspace?
The Best and Worst of the Zodiac Each zodiac sign has a positive and negative side. What's yours?
Feng Shui tells us that we must have a purpose for each room in the home, and the room must be designed to meet that purpose. This ensures that the Qi flows in the proper manner.
A rising sign can tell us many things, but most importantly, it tells us about the persona that we present to the outside world. This more than any other part of our sun sign astrology chart is how the world first sees us.
Find out how you relate to people around you. Divided into three sections: your birth-chart, your planetary information and the interpretation of your birth-chart, looking at the meaning of each planet.
The attributes you possess influence your professional aspirations, working life and potential success.

Sporting great hair (if you're into the pretty boys) and just the right touch of stubble, Robbie looked slender and polished in his shiny tux and bow tie. And, best of all, he offered that slightly evil smile which makes it simply impossible to believe he's a bad kisser.

Good times, good laughs.
We sat 2nd row at a Gallagher show after massive quantities of adult beverages OUAT...took days to be able to breathe normally because my sides were so sore from laughing.
He's the friend who taught me how to reload. I must look him up, it's been far too long.
To be on topic, I believe most state laws pretty much cover this, and in questionable cases I'm sorry but society must err on the side of caution with an avenue to refer these scenarios through a more thorough decision making process.
I tell the same joke, about Oral Roberts and his evil twin, Rectal Roberts.
Comedy is subjective. For example, I've heard 'dead cat' jokes since I was a strippling. So what's in the Wisconsin State Journal today? The big story is how people who favor a hunting season on feral cats are getting hate mail.
During the 1930's, my Grandfather used to be invited to weddings for the singular purpose of telling ethnic jokes.
Now to get to the issue:
Yikes. I'm sure someone sincerely felt this when they rounded up west coast indignenous Japanese during the 1940's.Quote:
society must err on the side of caution
You could use that reasoning to further any ill and expedite the remedy.
I'll admit to being a xenophobe, but I did take some flack when I offered that illegal aliens should be immediately deported after 9/11. After all, they are here 'illegally,' so what's the beef? Many of my friends challenged me that my stance was a 'short term' solution.
But consider this, I'm bi-polar and I dislike violence. Having said that I feel I have somewhat of a duty to protect my wife and loved ones from a home invasion--despite my personal beliefs and condition. A Glock 27 sits facing the front door.
BTW, I've melted down twice requiring rescue drugs and months of cognitive therapy. I'm also a weight-lifting biker; sort of the poster boy for those who wish to disarm us because there are "armed whacky predators" out there.
My view is the opposite; I think society had better 'get it right.' Before they disenfranchise anyone, the burden of proof and due diligence had better be on them, in spades.
They let heart attack victims continue to drive cars after they recover, why can't someone who sat with a shrink have their 2nd Amendment rights?
Mentally ill is a broad brush. I would think that could be anything from seeking help to deal with a marital break up (depression) to hearing voices in your head & thinking you can fly.
Both are mental illnesses but, I think we can all agree, no where near the same caliber. (no pun intended)
don't overlook my caveat "with an avenue to refer these scenarios through a more thorough decision making process". I'm not saying the rights of these folks should be forfeited unilaterally by a low level bureaucrat, only after due process. I think there is an extablished procedure to appeal denial of a CCW in most jurisdictions. After all, convicted felons can petition to have their civil rights restored, but it's not a one-stop process.
As to the Japanese issue, I can support the concept of internment, but I think that their property should have been preserved, they should have been accomodated more decently, and reparations should have been immediate. Our society has made progress. Today, the Japanese would get their day in court and the ACLU would be all over this with a much different outcome. We don't currently have any internment camps for masses of folks of Middle Eastern ethnicity. The folks who are in custody are there based upon individual circumstances (admittedly, some are iffy), not just becasue of their ethnicity.
If the mentally ill people are such a danger maybe they should be incarcerated. Of course there is no money for this, so I guess we are left with the mrshonts of the world to be out there trying to help as best they can. My hat is off to you mrshonts.
I know my state has a process for being declared incompetent. My state doesn't grant permits or allow incompetents to purchase firearms. So does TN have a similar process? Is it up to you to recommend someone go through that process? Maybe for some cases this needs to be done. However, I hope there is a stringent review and a burden of proof before someone is denied their rights.
I can see the point where some people shouldn't own or carry guns. I went to inspect my club's range today, and was reminded that even some mentally competent people shouldn't own guns.
Read the yellow sheet next time you fill one out. See if you can find the word 'adjudicated'.
What more can I say?
We have given way too much control to government. Life is not without risk. IMO, one stop sign is too much government.
It took me a while to find it, but I found my handgun carry permit application for TN.
Under Section III, number 12:
A. Have you ever been adjudicated as a mental defective or have you been committed to or hospitalized in a mental institution?
B. Have you had a court appoint a conservator for you by reason of a mental defect?
C. Have you been judicially been determined to be disabled by reason of mental illness, development disability or other mental incapacity? (T.C.A. 39-17-1351)

You have a 14 year old girl who washes her hands so many times per day that they bleed. Your attempts to question her, or even rub her with lotion, are met by severe crying jags. Your family doctor suggests you sign her into the hospital for a few weeks for treatment and an MMPI2 test as he suspects OCD. You comply.
The girl is now 21 years old and ready to live in her own apartment. If she answers the application honestly, does she get the permit?
Hmmmm, now THAT is a good thought provoking question. I think I would issue it to her.Quote:

Just for fun I made it OCD, deliberately, which while stressful and anxiety producing for the patient, does not usually end in a water tower with a deer rifle. Most sufferers just sit home cleaning.
Under law, and this is the crux of my catterwalling in this debate, is that by definition she is menatally ill to the degree of 'enforced confinement.' She is precluded from a CCW license.
I assumed that your point was that she was checked in when she was 14 and seven years later (assuming she had no mental problems) she applied for a permit. The old addage that assume = u make an ass out of me may possibly apply here. :yup: Shows ya what I know about mental illness (and I am thankful for that).
I guess I should have stuck with what I was originally going to post, "I would probably say yes for her permit and question your attempt to rub lotion on a 14 year old girl. It would be enough to make me go on a "severe crying jag" to have a large biker come up to me with a bottle of lotion.... :wink:
First complaint I've ever had...good thing I only asked women.Quote:
to have a large biker come up to me with a bottle of lotion
Your 'assume' aspect is what I was looking for. Obviously, tongues would wag at her school, her neighborhood and her church. Her medical files would contain her treatment--as mine do--and forever more she is/was a 'mental patient.'
(One day I walked into my shrinks office, however, I was not carrying a duck. There in his waiting room was two bikers with whom I lift weights. Kind of an odd scenario, even for us. We joked that this confirmed society's opinioon on 'crazy bikers.' To be fair, one of my friends had just lost a son to a suicide, and I was continuing in cognitive therapy as an adjunct to my medication.)
During this month, I stumpled and broke one hand bone in four places. Once the x-rays were read, I was sent to Dean Clinic's special facility that is called 'the hand clinic.' There doctors familiar with breaks to fingers, hands and wrists can give patients special treatment for the particular nerves and rehab problems endemic to hand injuries. No one avoids me for this injury, in fact, people wonder how I can still sharpen.
I make no secret of being bi-polar; I'm not going to hide in my bedroom, although during the zenith of the breakdown I spent six weeks there. I had a special 'injury' and I went to a special doctor, as I did for my hand.
However, despite my differing seratonin levels, I have the same needs for security and safety you do. I have a wife, a home and possessions that are just as vulnerable to cretins as people in this forum.
To surmise that a hand lotion problem or manias preclude us from common problems in society is a little naive' in this context.
I do plan to use it in arguments to avoid fights. My planned patter will be, "Do you know what 'diminished capacity' is? It means killing you and being back out in society within 72 hours..."
This might not be true, however it will use society's fear of crazies against them. And after all, beating the aggressor is what this forum is about, par qua?

The war of words has escalated in Israel and Gaza even as the war between opposing forces continues to result in death and destruction. Gaza has been cut off from the outside world as Kassam rockets from it continue to hit Israeli cities. Sharp exchanges in the Israel cabinet led Internal Affirs Minister Meier Sheetrit to blast Hizbullah's leader by exclaiming: "We shouldn't be afraid of Nasrallah, we should eliminate him." Public Security Minister Avi Dichter complained the Israel armed forces were not doing enough to halt Kassam rockets and urged taking action "whatever the cost to the Palestinians." Defense Minister Ehud Barak responded by insisting the IDF was hitting terrorists and was also planning new ventures. Gaza's only electrical plant closed on Sunday insisting they had run out of fuel while Barak claims they have plenty of fuel but are only trying to gain world sympathy.
Hamas spokesperon, Sami Abdul Zhuhri defiantly told Israel, "we will not raise the white flag, we will not surrender." The dueling banjo voices of extremists on both sides only ensures there will be no peace for either Palestinians or Israelis. The two immediate actions are an end to Kassasm rockets and opening Gaza to humanitarian supplies as well as access to needed fuel. It is time for Israeli and Hamas leaders to end their verbal exclamations and declarations and focus on what is needed for momentary peace. On one hand, the US and Israel insists they will never negotiate with Hamas, on the other hand they want Hamas to cease firing rockets. These are incompatible foreign policy objectives. There is need to involve prominent Arab leaders in a comprehensive approach to dealing with these issues and it is critical that Hamas be involved in any discussions. Ironically, lost in the anti-Hamas policy of Bush and Israel is the reality they are allowing Hamas to dictate what happens in the Middle East.

With the Rolling Stones, Keith Richards created the riffs, the lyrics, and the songs that roused the world, and over four decades he lived the original rock-and-roll life: taking the chances he wanted, speaking his mind, and making it all work in a way that no one before him had ever done.
Now, at last, the man himself tells us the story of life in the crossfire hurricane. And what a life. Listening obsessively to Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters records as a child in post-war Kent. Learning guitar and forming a band with Mick Jagger and Brian Jones. The Rolling Stones' first fame and success as a bad-boy band. The notorious Redlands drug bust and subsequent series of confrontations with a nervous establishment that led to his enduring image as outlaw and folk hero. Creating immortal riffs such as the ones in 'Jumping Jack Flash' and 'Street Fighting Man' and 'Honky Tonk Woman'. Falling in love with Anita Pallenberg, and the death of Brian Jones. Tax exile in France, wildfire tours of the US, Exile on Main Street and Some Girls. Ever increasing fame, isolation and addiction. Falling in love with Patti Hansen. Estrangement from Mick Jagger and subsequent reconciliation. Solo albums and performances with his band the Xpensive Winos. Marriage, family, and the road that goes on for ever.
In a voice that is uniquely and intimately his own, with the disarming honesty that has always been his trademark, Keith Richard brings us the essential life story of our times.
©2010 Keith Richards (P)2010 Orion Publishing Group Limited
"Insightful and entertaining "
Irreverent and honest... with many great anecdotes from the Stones juggernaut. Easy to listen to but maybe not with the kiddies around!
"Buckle up."
Enjoy. Crazy dude. Crazy life. His music speaks for itself. The man pushed it to the edge and lived to tell the tail.
"Narration issue"
Keith should have narrated the whole thing. Was annoyed when the accents changed so significantly. Great story though, interesting life.
I enjoyed this read, i thought Johnny Depps read was the best. Keith gave me an insight into his hectic life and loves, his ups and downs.
"Fantastic book loved every word of it ."
Loved every bit of it highly recommend even as a mild stones fan couldn't wait to get back to it .
yes it's long but worth it .
"good book but very long, Keithy can ramble on..."
Good book but very long, Keithy can ramble on a bit, good insights into his life and relationship with Mick Jagger. The man certainly has lived a life !
"Loved it!"
Keith's recount of his life is amazing. Everything from being picked on by the local constabulary, to consuming enough 'smack', that it's shocking he is still alive. Keith passion for guitar and music is very touching and inspiring. Well done. Having Johnny Depp and the main man himself narrate the book is truly a worthwhile listen.
"A rare insight into a rock legend"
This is the finest audible book I've listened to. The narrators (Depp and Hurley) although diametrically opposed in terms of vocal style, both add so much to the listening experience. This is an experience not to be missed. Imagine yourself sitting with Keith in front of a roaring fire in the middle of winter and Keith is reminiscing about the many milestones in his professional and personal life.
The Audible novel puts you there.. seriously. On top of everything else, Keith shares his techniques, guitar tunings, and songwriting methods with ease. As an amateur guitarist, I have learned more about the instrument and various tuning methods (specifically Open G) in a week of listening to the book than I have in over 30 years of trying to teach myself.
In this book, Keith openly discusses his drug habits, but always counsels the listener to stay away from drugs. This is no mean feat.... the book is full of stories of what happened under the influence of Heroin, cocaine, marijuana and various other uppers and downers, but amazingly you come away from the experience with some understanding of why Keith (and others) would subject themselves to the problems that this lifestyle introduces, without the feeling that Keith is in any way endorsing this lifestyle.
I have to say, prior to the book, my impression of Keith Richards was that of an aging rock star who should have quit long ago in his prime. A rock personality who was almost always "out of it" on drugs or alcohol, and who was almost an anachronism in this day and age.
What I learnt however was that this is a highly intelligent and articulate man who has an amazing capacity to recall events from the past 40 years or so, and in the process has given us, the reader (or listener) an unprecedented insight into an amazing life at a turning point in 20th Century culture.
Read or listen to "Life".... you won't regret it.
Thanks Keef for a great body of work and an amazing biography.
Keep on rockin'!
"fantastic Mr Richards."
This is the second best audiobook I've ever listened to. The section Keith reads himself is simply marvellous- cooking tips, pet care, it's all in there! Fabulous!
I would have read LIFE, but I am so happy that I did not. Listening to Richards, Depp, and Hurley was simply so engaging that I think this a case where listening beats reading. The book itself is of real substance. I think this is a autobiography at its best.
"Too long, too much rambling!"
I love me a rock bio TRUST me! but I couldn't get through this to be honest. The man is a legend I admit and has had a pretty cool life but you have to wade through so much rambling that it gets hard to stay focused. Gave it a while but couldn't last. Sorry Keef!!
"I just loved it! Am now in the Richards fan club.."
What an amazing guy. What I loved most about this book, was the fact that you discovered how incredibly talented Keith was/is, but you also learned he is a good, kind hearted and giving man, despite his flaws. He was so different in so many ways to Mick it would seem, no wonder they each brought something so different to their writing partnership, as The Glimmer Twins. I wasn't so fond of the first narrator (ie Joe Hurley), I think it wold have been better to have just had one narrator throughout. This book has really opened my eyes up to The Stones and what makes them so bloody great. They certainly know how to work hard!
"Keith Richards' Life: free any old time."
An audio edition of Keith Richards' best-selling autobiography Life should silence most sceptical critics of audio books, who regard the format as an oversimplified substitution of reading. The Rolling Stones' founder and lead guitarist proves that, at least one literature genre–memoirs¬–is better listened to, than read. Even though, he himself rarely features on the twenty-three hour record.
Instead, Joe Hurley, New York singer, imitates Richard's voice, while Jonny Depp leads the narration with a trademark lucidity, ensuring that the record beat any competition at the Audiobook of the Year award in 2011.
Despite a very provocative character of the story, taken to the extremes by skilful narrators, Life is far from being just an audio guide for heroin addicts or a collection of satirical monologues about Mick Jagger. Depp and Hurley dramatize a lifelong experiment that Keith Richards endured to create the Rolling Stones and keep the band rolling for fifty odd years. In this experiment, he managed to find the right combination of hard work, passion for music, and sheer desire to create something outstanding, which yielded miracles like Jumping Jack Flash and Gimme Shelter.
Life is also about another realm that exists in parallel with our world, hidden behind fences of ocean villas, VIP clubs and private parties. Occupied by rich and famous, the realm is built on the absolute freedom. Free to have anything, to say anything, to take anything, 'to do what I want', Keith's point is that humans are not designed to cope with such amount of freedom.
At 68, he sounds genuinely astounded with the fact that he survived his experiment. While most of the others who were unfortunate enough to taste freedom with the Rolling Stones, did not.
"Very interesting"
Interesting book to learn more about the life of a character such as KR. In terms of the narrators, I found that Jonny Deep was pretty good with the parts that he did, even though a bit monotone sometimes. Joe Hurley took a bit to get used to as he has a very strong accent, but he could really translate the personality of Keith Richards and that enriched the storey. I got a bit lost sometimes when he transitioned to different characters as it was not very clear all the time whether is was Keith talking or somebody else. Keith himself does the final chapters, and his english is not very clear, so I suppose it is good that he did not read the entire book. Overall, a very good audiobook.
"Simply fantastic !"
No mincing words on this one people. What a superb rendition. If I could have lived only one-hundreth the LIFE KR lived, I'd consider myself lucky. Right place, right time, ok. But balls were needed to make the story what it was, and he had them, albeit sometimes aided by stuff. So what. Truly a great story, exceptionally written and magistrally performed.
It doesn't get any better. I pity anyone who chose the book version, because the added dimension of the audible version is priceless. Well done Keith. Few people could have done it as well as you've done. You might not be the greatest guitarist to take the stage, but you've got few competitors when it comes to living life as it should be lived.
"A real character"
If you grew up in the 60's and followed the Stones then this is a must. Its very long and if it was a real book I would have skipped bits, especially the sometimes long winded parts where he describes in great detail his guitar learning/playing, but this will appeal to guitarists I suppose. Overall I found it very interesting and certainly saw many aspects of "behind the scenes" that I was not aware of, like how they regarded each other, how he regarded the other Stones members skills and morals, what they did on tour and at home etc.
"What a treat!!!"
Oh my word, I so enjoyed this book! I gobbled it up and wanted more... and then last nut not least there were little snippets of Keith himself narrating.... Wow!
"Disappointed by the change of reader"
I bought this after having really enjoyed Clapton's autobiography on Audible.
And i wasn't disappointed with this one either - with Johnny Depp doing an excellent job of reading the book.
But just as I was getting really hooked on, the reader suddenly changed (about a third of the way into the book). And that ruined everything. The other reader is just rubbish - sounds like a mafia boss from a Guy Richie movie - trying too hard to sound like a rock star and frankly, just ends up sounding really really annoying.
So annoying that i've had to stop listening to this book. Which is a shame because the writing itself is not bad and i was really looking forward to it.
Very disappointed with the publisher's choice of the second reader for this book. You cannot do this after letting the user get used to Johnny Depp's voice.
"Good in parts"
Some interesting stories which entertain & reveal but what lets this audio book down is the narration. Johnny Depp does excellent work as usual, but Joe Hurley is not as good and really disappointing in comparison.
Why have two different narrators? Dumb if you ask me.
"A revelation"
I thought I knew about Keith Richards as I have been reading about him in the newspapers for the better part of 50 years- but his biography reveals some thing and somebody quite different.
This book shows a person who is intelligent, engaging, funny and very well able to write not just an autobiography but a book that chronicles our times since the war.
Keith Richards uses his own life and experiences to show the changes that have taken place in Britain and America over more than six decades and running through the whole narrative is a boundless love for music.This book is an unexpected joy that has made me revisit the music again and rediscover sounds and songs that I have not listened to since the 1960s - quite an achievement for a first book - but that's Keith Richards - clever, surprising and full of satisfaction.
"Insightful glimpse of a hedonistic existence"
Detailed, humorous insight into the lives of the Stones. Brutally honest, outrageously funny in places and raw in others. Too much detail about the drugs for my liking. Unless you have shared an addiction to heroin, I don't think most people would enjoy the third of the book dedicated the the finer details of being a smack head. Fabulous insight into the inter relationships within the group. Overall a good read but not in the same league as Rods.
"Joe Hurley ruins it."
The stories are amazing but the main issue with this audiobook is reader Joe Hurley.
Buy the book, skip the audio..
"Narration was truly awful........."
Jonny Depp was perhaps an odd choice but he was vastly preferable to Hurley who grated so much that I found I just couldn't listen. Wish I'd read the book instead..............
"Poor narration ruins this great book"
I'm afraid I'm finding listening to this book both hugely enjoyable and deeply annoying.
I can put up with Johnny Depp's occasional mispronunciation of place names - he wisely chooses to avoid a Keef impersonation unless enacting a conversation and is an engaging narrator.
Unfortunately he is replaced about a third of the way through by Joe Hurley who DOES attempt an impersonation to disastrous effect.
This is a great book but I'm finding the terrible mockney accent of the presumably American Hurley almost unbearable.
I've skipped ahead to find that Depp does reappear towards the end of the book. For the finale the man himself takes over. I'm hoping I can last that long.
What A Shame.
"A great book, utterly ruined by the narration"
Book - fantastic. Narration? Great, until they switch from Johnny Depp to Joe Hurley. Firstly, it's jarring and takes you out of the story, so always a bad idea to do this.
Secondly, Hurley's narration is ridiculous and actually made me so angry I had to switch it off. He does this OTT parody of a punch drunk rocker's slur which comes across as totally contrived and insincere, and PERFORMING every line, drawling, slurring, laughing wryly - it's distracting and daft and ruined the rest of this book for me. My advice? Read the book or find another audiobook version. DO NOT BUY THIS you will be so, so dissapointed.
"Absolutely Offal"
Boring, monotonous and repetitive are good adjectives to use here: they not only describe the text and the narration (although there was a brief moment of hope when the narrator changed) but, I begin to suspect, the author himself. To be honest, I tried very hard with this audio book. I am a great fan of the Stones and their music and I am not one to give up easily, but eventually I had to throw in the towel and admit defeat. These stories probably sound great told round the table with a glass or two, but a good read they do not make. To use Keith Richards' own words, 'what a terrible piece of tripe'. Sorry Keith, I tried hard but it just didn't work out.
"Fantastic, listened to it in a week!"
So interesting, this man really helped shape a generation! The narration is all fantastic and unlike a lot of rocker autobiographies it doesn't tail off at the end! Must listen!

The America's Cup International Jury issued a ruling today upholding an appeal by two teams competing in the America's Cup sailing races that argued that the regatta's director, Iain Murray, could not unilaterally make certain rule changes.
The five-person panel ruled in favor of Luna Rossa Challenge and Emirates Team New Zealand, the two teams that filed the appeal in response to a proposal to modify rudders on the AC-72 vessels being used in the races.
The jury held that the rule change recommended by Murray must be withdrawn because not all of the teams agreed to it.
America's Cup organizers reacted to the ruling with a positive spin:
"This means racing can continue if the teams abide by the existing Class Rule and the Safety Rules," said ACEA chief executive, Stephen Barclay. "If the teams take this step, it will ensure the safety plan remains intact and the U.S. Coast Guard Marine Event Permit is unaffected."
The rudder proposal was among a series of recommendations made by Murray following the May 9 death of Sweden-based Artemis Racing crewmember Andrew Simpson when the team's boat capsized during a practice run.
The Louis Vuitton Cup, a series of races between the three challengers to Oracle Team USA for the America's Cup, began Sunday, but Luna Rossa Challenge sat out the opening race against the New Zealand team because of the rudder rule dispute.
Luna Rossa officials posted to the team's website today that the team planned to return to the regatta today.
America's Cup organizers also said Luna Rossa is participating in its first race today for the Louis Vuitton Cup. However, the team's opponent, Artemis Racing, is sitting out the competition until at least later this month while making repairs to its boat, which was damaged in the May 9 tragedy.
New Zealand and Luna Rossa had argued that Murray's rules affecting yacht rudders unfairly benefit Larry Ellison's Oracle Team USA, which doesn't begin to race until the finals in September.
French fashion brand Louis Vuitton is cutting back its sponsorship funds for the challenger round due to the lower-than-expected turnout of teams, the New Zealand Herald reported earlier this week.
