GDP Numbers Show Drop, But Better Than Expected
U.S. economic growth slowed in the second quarter of this year as the government revised downwards the gross domestic product (GDP) to 1.6 percent from a previous estimate of 2.4 percent. The news caps a week of bad news about the nation's economy, in particular, reports that housing sales fell to record lows in July.
Economists had expected the GDP to be lowered in the period from April to June and today's number was actually slightly better than expected. The drop was due to in part to a surge in imports in June that reached levels not seen since October 2008. In addition, businesses reduced spending on rebuilding their inventory of products to sell as consumer spending slowed.
So with today's numbers slightly better than expectations, investors' attention now turns to Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. He speaks later this morning before a group of central bankers, economists and policy makers from around the world at an annual banking summit in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
Fed watchers want a clearer picture of how Bernanke views the economy and what the Federal Reserve can, and more importantly, will do to prevent an economic "double dip." Many economists want to hear that the Fed will do whatever is necessary to keep economic growth from dropping below zero.
What is next? Today's report is the second of three reports on economic growth. The third and final report will be released on September 30, 2010.

Bike Enthusiast Gets Cycling Community To Help Him Publish His Book
Jason Milligan leverages community power rather than working with the traditional publishing industry.
Jason Milligan has already had 2 books published, but for his 3rd book, he decided to put out a novel himself as an eBook, eschewing traditional publishing channels. The novel centers around a bike messenger in the early 2000's, a "true punk noir journey" according to one reviewer. The cover art is by Chris Piascik.
To get the book published, Milligan has raised support from the biking community. He firmly believes that a creative's community can fill in for wherever a particular industry is lacking. In his email to us he wrote:
Basically I've been approaching bike stores and brands and asking for support. In some cases, I've asked for blurbs, and in almost every case, bike people have been wonderfully generous and helpful. Digital publishing has taken the exclusivity of distribution away from the publishers and that other communities can fill the void.

Bournemouth 1-0 Scunthorpe
- From the section Football
Bournemouth tightened their grip on second place in League One by edging out relegation-threatened Scunthorpe.
The Cherries went ahead when Marc Pugh crossed from the left and Matt Tubbs's header back across goal was met on the volley by Brett Pitman, who found the net for the fifth successive game.
Iron keeper Eirik Johansen saved well from Harry Arter and Eunan O'Kane, while Pitman rattled the crossbar.
Mark Duffy had Scunthorpe's best chance but dragged his shot wide.
Eddie Howe's side are now three points clear of third-placed Brentford, who but have two games in hand on the Cherries, while Scunthorpe drop into the bottom four after rivals Oldham drew with Colchester.
AFC Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe told BBC Radio Solent:
"It's always edgy at 1-0 but I thought we were well in control of the game, especially in the first half.
"I can't really remember Scunthorpe having any chances or Ryan [Allsop, Bournemouth keeper] being called into too much action. I thought we were quite comfortable but we desperately wanted the second goal just to see the game through a little bit more relaxed.
"We were very controlled, we were brave as always, players were rotating positions and we looked like a really good football team.
"I think we've seen the players act really professionally. The lads have grown from experiences this season and I'm delighted with the way we defended today."
Scunthorpe boss Brian Laws told BBC Radio Humberside:
"We created a couple of good opportunities, especially in the second half, when I was expecting to at least work the goalkeeper.
"We worked ever so hard to get in a good position particularly Mark Duffy, who's gone through and caused them problems, and opened the goal wide open and missed the target.
"When you look at the overall game we would have only needed that to get us back into the game and get us a point.
"There's a fighting spirit amongst us and we'll give it our best shot."

Inspiration from physics for thinking about economics, finance and social systems
Monday, March 25, 2013
FORECAST: new book to be published tomorrow!
That's right, my new book, the cover of which you've seen off to the right of this blog for some time now, will FINALLY be in bookstores in the US tomorrow, March 26. Of course, it is also available at Amazon and other likely outlets on the web. Who knows when reviews and such will begin trickling in. The book was featured in Nature on Thursday in their "Books in brief" section (sorry, you'll need a subscription), but the poor writers of those reviews (I've been one) really have almost no space to say anything. The review does make very clear that the book exists and purports to have some new ideas about economics and finance, but it makes no judgement on the usefulness of the book at all.
Anyone in the US, if you happen to be in a physical bookstore in the next few days, please let me know if you 1) do find the book and 2) where it was located. I've had the unfortunate experience in the past that my books, such as Ubiquity or The Social Atom, were placed by bookstore managers near the back of the store in sections with labels like Mathematical Sociology or Perspectives in the Philosophy of History, where perhaps only 1 or 2 people venture each day, and then probably only because they got lost while looking for the rest room. If you do find the book in an obscure location, feel completely free -- there's no law against this -- to take all the copies you find and move them up to occupy prominent positions in the bestsellers' section, or next to the check out with the diet books, etc. I would be very grateful!
And I would very much like to hear what readers of this blog think about the book.

I honestly laughed at the idea of someone moving dozens and dozens of someone's book to the front of a bookstore.ReplyDelete
Anyway, I received your book this morning from Amazon.ca. Better be good or else next time I'm in a bookstore I'll move every copy to the Mathematical Sociology section where it belongs. ;)
I only wish I found "dozens and dozens" of books in the obscure sections that I could move. It was usually a few, sometimes less than 1....ReplyDelete
I do hope you enjoy the book!
Thanks for this new book. I think I will buy the electronic version directly this time ... but - just to let you know - the others books were in the more or less in the right place in the Italian bookshelves, between Jeremy Bernstein and Norbert Wiener :)ReplyDelete

Mark - The book was on display prominently in Oxford on Sunday....purchased a Kindle version and look forward to discussing it with investors (and even a few economists). Well done for challenging the conventional.ReplyDelete
Ian H (ASR London)
It was prominently displayed with other new arrivals directly across from the sales counter at the Harvard Book Store, in Cambridge, MA. That was two weeks ago.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks for letting me know. That's good news!

LSSU to host Superior Accounting Conference on May 3
Posted: March 25th, 2013
SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich. – Students who are members of Lake Superior State University's Chapter of the Institute of Management Accountants are inviting accounting and business professionals, those who teach accounting, and students who are interested in learning more about it to their Superior Accounting Conference on Friday, May 3, on campus.
The conference offers 8 hours of continuing professional education credit, including 3.5 hours of ethics, according to Prof. Jodi Hunter, who teaches accounting at LSSU and is advisor of the LSSU IMA chapter.
The conference's keynote speaker is Stephen Pedneault, the principal of Forensic Accounting Services LLC in Glastonbury, Conn. His firm specializes in forensic accounting, fraud and litigation support matters. Hunter said his technical expertise and intuitive investigative awareness have garnered him the respect of the legal, accounting and law enforcement communities. As a result, he is called upon often as a litigation expert and is considered a highly regarded member of legal teams. Pedneault has worked in public accounting for more than 20 years and is a certified public accountant, certified fraud examiner, is certified in financial forensics and as a forensic certified public accountant.
"Mr. Pedneault is entertaining and interesting while providing valuable and useful information that will apply to all types of organizations," Hunter said. "In times of tightening costs requiring managed budgets, we believe that that we have planned a conference that is timely, varied in topic, and economical to allow participants to receive the most value for their continuing education dollars. In addition, they're helping to support a student organization of future business professionals."
The conference itinerary includes Pedneault presenting "Ethics: Dilemmas and Consequences in Decision Making" throughout the morning, followed by lunch and a presentation of the plans to refurbish the campus building that will house LSSU's School of Business.
Following lunch, Pedneault will present "Demystifying the World of Forensic Accounting," while LSSU Prof. Gerald Root will instruct participants on how to help their clients set realistic goals and develop plans to achieve them in "Investing in Productive Assets is a Positive Sum Game, But Your Clients Can Still Lose."
Later, participants may choose from "Employee Fraud Alert: Current Trends and Threats," presented by Pedneault, and "What's Hot in Accounting, Auditing and Taxation," presented by LSSU alumnus Stephen M. Peacock CPA and Kerry J. Nelson CPA, of Rehmann Group.
Information on all of the speakers, their presentations, conference fees, registration and more is available here. Prospective participants may also contact Hunter at firstname.lastname@example.com or 906-635-2424 for more information. -LSSU-

A race season has come and gone and I am grateful to be given the opportunity to blog about it this year. It has been extremely therapeutic to write about the things that are important to me. Thanks for following along and for the comments I have received.
Where am I today with the post partum depression and anxiety? I admit I still have my ups and downs. But the difference now is that the downs do not drag on for days, weeks and months. I am able to channel my anger, frustration, sadness, stress with daily exercise.
A year ago I would have never thought I would race an Olympic distance triathlon. It seemed so incredibly long and hard. At that time I could barely even run an entire mile without stopping. There were many runs where my negative thoughts would creep into my mind and say things like: "you can't even run 3 miles, how are you supposed to run 6.2 after swimming and biking?" But I kept on pushing and never gave up. My mind sometimes still fills with negative thoughts but I force myself to block out those thoughts and replace them with images of my kids smiling faces. Those are the faces I love and never want to let-down. They deserve a Mom who is healthy both physically and mentally.
My chapter with Luna has ended but the rest of my life story is just beginning. Care to follow along? Well then…
Hello. My name is Amanda. I have a soft spot for baby boys, yellow Labs and a decent pair of compression tights. You can find me here.

seems to me that compareing his revolver draw to your semi draw is comparing apples to oranges. It would seem to make more sense to compare his revover draw and accuracy to HIS semi draw and accuracy.
Also seems like a recipe for disaster to allow a "novice" (I'll assume this since he doesn't own his own revolver)to rush his draw in SA to prove a point to a group who already knows what the answer is
Hopefully he changes his mind.

Okay, this is my fault for not being clear. He is not an inexperience shooter. A bit thick headed on certain things, but eh....He USED to carry a S&W 66 back in Oklahoma, it used to be his duty weapon. Personally, as far as quick draw, I thought were going to do that on dry-firing and then proceed to load the weapons and challenge each other on accuracy combined with multiple loading and speed.
I know folks who do the cowboy thing safely and well, but I'd back away from an untrained shooter who wants to do the fast draw thing with someone else's pistol. I'd be a bit concerned about liability, too, for lending my pistol to such an event.
Bahhh....not for me.
Me and Grady shoot together all the time. Sometimes we agree on certain scenarios, ammos, carry guns, all that stuff...sometimes we don't.
One thing we NEVER do is try to one-up each other in our shooting practices or defensive weapon draws...we watch each other and help out by lending a different perspective or correcting a stance here or there, or just learn from each other as we go. It's all about both of us surviving to shoot again tomorrow, not about challenging each other to find out who the badass is.
We each watch the other pretty carefully when we are shooting, because if I can make Grady a better shot, the better my chances are if he's ever the guy that pulls when the SHTF right behind ME. He knows the same is true with me.
It's never a competition. EVER.
At my CWP class the attendees were offered the use of a Revolver as part of the class. Including ammo.... HOWEVER.... they were all required to shoot the qualification from Double Action only. Not cocked.
Your buddy may be too hot headed and stubborn to have a CWP...
I sure hope you friend learns just how dangerous it is to draw a revolver and then cock the hammer in a defensive scenario before he starts carrying.
ALWAYS carry! - NEVER tell!
"A superior Operator is best defined as someone who uses his superior
judgement to keep himself out of situations that would require a display of his
superior skills."
I think I just found something to help my case.
I wouldn't do a challenge.
Get real gents, there is nothing wrong with planning to shoot DA or SA. It is just a matter of practice and the situation one finds himself in.
Instead of a one on one challenge like you are suggesting, go to an IDPA match and compare score after it is over. Oh, and since I've had stages where the revolver guys have a different number of shots on target, make sure you both have to shoot the same number of shots on target so you can really compare.
The only way to really quantify which is fastest would be to use a timer and do a few repetitions where he cocks the hammer, and a few where he fires D/A.
Or, get a copy of a LE qualification course and have him run it both ways staying in the time limits and then check accuracy.
Regardless, I don't think cocking the hammer on the draw is the best choice. If it was my friend I'd probably just laugh at him and tell him not to get his panties in a wad.
"Being a predator isn't always comfortable but the only other option is to be prey. That is not an acceptable option." ~Phil Messina
If you carry in Condition 3, you have two empty chambers. One in the weapon...the other between your ears.

I'll just say what we're all thinking: uncooked marshmallows on their own kinda suck. Like, when you'd sneak that extra one straight from the bag before putting it in hot chocolate or roasting it over a campfire, it tasted like crap. But then again, I bet ground beef tastes pretty nasty before it's cooked, so maybe I'm being unfair here. Anyway, here are some fun designs.

Red alert: Opel's GT concept appears to be GM's toe in the water for a potential Alfa 4C rival, but much could depend on reaction at the Geneva motor show.
28 January 2016
By RON HAMMERTON
Updated 29/01/2016
OPEL'S pocket-rocket GT sportscar concept has been revealed in images shot in
Australia ahead of its public debut at March's Geneva motor show.
The photographs – with a backgrounds featuring Melbourne's distinctive skyline,
GM Holden's car park and even part of the old Fishermans Bend factory –
indicate the little 2+2 coupe was indeed fabricated at GM Australia Design's
workshop, as GoAuto tipped last week.
Opel later confirmed that the concept had been built at Holden, home to one of
two such fabrication workshops in the GM
world capable of building such a rolling prototype.
In this case, the design was done in Germany by an Opel team lead by GM
vice-president of Design Europe, Mark Adams, before Holden took it to reality.
The front engine, rear-wheel-drive coupe is, according to GM, a design study,
with no firm plans for production, but the company is not ruling out a
production version that – should it get the green light – almost certainly
would be sold across GM sister brands Opel, Vauxhall, Buick and Holden.
It would follow in the wheel-tracks of two previous Opel GTs, including the
Kadett-based GT that was revealed in concept form at the 1965 Frankfurt motor
show before going into production from 1968 to 1974.
Said Opel Group CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann: "We are taking the next step towards
even more emotion and driving pleasure with the Opel GT concept.
"The GT concept shows what Opel stands for now. We are confident, ambitious,
innovative and we want win over more customers with every new car."
One thing is for certain: the Opel GT is not the V8-powered rear-wheel-drive
sportscar promised to Holden fans by GM International president Stefan Jacoby.
Similar in size and weight to Alfa Romeo's 4C, the GT concept is powered by a
diminutive 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbocharged engine lifted from small Opels
such as the Adam, Corsa and Astra.
The engine – making 107kW of power and 205Nm of torque – is mounted under the
bonnet but behind the front axle line for optimum centre of gravity.
Like a true sports coupe, the engine drives the rear axle via a six-speed
sequential gearbox and mechanical diff lock. The transmission is operated by
steering wheel shift paddles.
Weighing less than 1000kg, the GT concept is said to be capable of sprinting
from zero to 100 km/h in less than eight seconds and on to a top speed of 215
A distinctive feature of the GT – one that was teased ahead of today's full
image reveal – is the red front tyres that are a nod to the 1928 Opel MotoClub
500 motorcycle that had two red tyres.
Opel says the tyres – sitting on a wheel design said to have been modelled on
roller skate wheels – are among the few echoes of the past in the GT. Others
include a long bonnet, absence of a boot lid and central dual exhaust, all of
which hark back to the original GT.
Mr Adams said the GT concept was "dramatic, sculptural and full of innovations"
– an Opel tradition that it intends to continue.
"Back in 1965, Opel developed the Experimental GT, a thoroughly modern vehicle
that also boasted a pure sculptural shape. It's certainly difficult to reinvent
an icon but just as the Experimental GT was avant-garde back then, so too is
this GT Concept today – absolutely pure, minimalistic, yet bold and
"This coupé impressively demonstrates the continuous development of our design
philosophy – 'Sculptural Artistry meets German precision'."
The driver and front passenger gain access to the cabin by pressing a touchpad
in a red signature line in the roof. There are no handles on the unique
electric-operated doors that move into the front wheel space behind the wheel
when opening, thus creating a bigger opening.
The seamless look continues with a smooth transition from the integrated glass
to the painted surfaces. How this would work in production remains to be seen.
Inside, the cabin is said to be sufficiently spacious for tall occupants, in
the front seats at least.
The red theme is carried into the cabin, with bright red sports seats and red
rings around the twin instrument dials.
Further details of the Opel GT will be revealed at the Geneva show on March 3.

New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith has realized there is something more dangerous than toying with New England's defense.
Not taking an airline employee seriously.
According to the Daily News, Smith was kicked off a Virgin America flight out of Los Angeles International Airport on Friday because he refused to get off his cellphone after being asked three times by the flight crew.
Here is a portion of the Daily News' story:
"The incident occurred around 2:30 p.m., the source said, when LAX Port Authority cops got a call to respond to an incident at Gate 37A. A Virgin America supervisor had already escorted Smith from the gate and both were at the airline's kiosk because the flight had already departed.
"The supervisor told the cops that the captain hadn't wanted Smith on the flight."
After repeatedly being asked to get off his cellphone, Smith was booted off the plane and not allowed to schedule another flight with Virgin America.
"He (Smith) said he didn't know why he was kicked off the flight," a source told the Daily News. "He said it was because he was black. Virgin Airlines refused to re-book him because he was being disruptive."
Smith had a rough rookie season, throwing 12 touchdowns, 21 interceptions and eventually getting benched. This is not a great way to start a new year.
Anyone with a television knows battling airline employees is a losing battle. A passenger might be able to get away with one warning, but the airline representative's mood will not improve after a second warning. Nobody enjoys turning their phone off prior to takeoff, but everyone understands the repercussions of testing those boundaries.
Well, not everyone.
Chalk this one up as another bad decision by Smith.

Estimate on Indianapolis blast damage up to $4.4M
Investigators have increased the damage estimate from the deadly Indianapolis neighborhood explosion by about one-fifth to $4.4 million.
Fire Capt. Rita Burris said Friday that damage estimate was increased from the previous $3.6 million figure after inspectors were able to check out more of the properties in the subdivision on the city's south side.
Officials say 32 houses have been deemed unsafe from Saturday night's explosion, with five destroyed and 10 with major damage. Burris says city inspectors might order the demolition of up to 10 houses and that insurance companies might have others torn down.
The Department of Code Enforcement has assessed 126 structures in the subdivision. A total of 86 homes were affected. Eleven had minor damage and 14 had no damage.
Burris says some 30 investigators continue working to determine what caused the explosion and that heavy equipment was being brought in to help move debris.
Until now, it has been a difficult and dangerous hand search for the source of a suspected gas leak.
Two injuries were reported by public safety personnel on the scene. One IFD investigator sustained a concussion after being hit by debris and one DPW worker sustained an injury to his foot after stepping on a nail.
"They are exhausted. These investigators have been working around the clock for the last four days," Burris said.
Investigators hoped to finish by Saturday, but now it appears they will work through the weekend. They are searching the remains of three homes and a field of debris encompassing 11 properties - about half of a neighborhood block.
"This is a big scene. It is one of the largest explosive scenes I've ever seen," said Indianapolis Public Safety Director Troy Riggs.
Riggs says investigators are making progress and are finding items that may ultimately explain the explosion.
"When you and I look at that devastation, we see rubble. To a trained investigator, they see potential evidence to the root cause of that. That's what we are looking for today," he said.
Suggested Links
Riggs isn't even hazarding a guess on how long that might take.
Dozens of families are moving to temporary homes. Repairing and rebuilding their houses may take a year or more.
Southport Presbyterian Church at 7525 McFarland Blvd. will serve as the hub for recovery services for the neighborhood. Displaced residents will be able to get services, referrals and vouchers.

Solazyme Surges on Expansion Plans With ADM, Bunge
Solazyme Inc. (SZYM), which makes oil products from sugar-consuming algae, surged the most in seven months after agreeing to expand production capacity through partnerships with Bunge Ltd. (BG) and Archer-Daniels-Midland Co. (ADM)
Solazyme climbed 10 percent to $7.80 at the close in New York, the biggest gain since April 3.
The company plans to open a plant in 2014 at an ADM facility in Iowa and will triple planned output from an existing venture with Bunge, according to a statement yesterday from South San Francisco, California-based Solazyme.
"It's a clear signal that Solazyme has some real value to offer its partners," said Weston Twigg, an analyst at Pacific Crest Securities LLC in Portland, Oregon, who recommends buying the shares. "They're basically quadrupling planned production."
The ADM plant will produce 20,000 metric tons of oil in 2014 and may eventually expand to 100,000 tons a year. Bunge and Solazyme are building a plant in Brazil that will be able to make 100,000 tons annually when completed in the fourth quarter of 2013, and Bunge may introduce the technology at other facilities and produce as much as 300,000 tons a year by 2016.
"The market has been hungry for this type of announcement here as we've seen the stock fall a couple bucks over the past couple weeks," Robert W. Baird & Co. analyst Ben Kallo said by telephone. "This is really the third partner that they're going to build out capacity with."
Solazyme has a venture with Roquette Freres SA that produces 300 tons of oil a year in France, and is on schedule to expand that to 5,000 tons by the second quarter, Solazyme Chief Executive Officer Jonathan Wolfson said yesterday in a conference call.

no doubt, the only reason i asked was because its two well known writers not a no-name beside someone people know. just wanted to see what people thought, it shouldn't matter who it is if your not for the sidebust. i really don't care either way, when i started writing it wasn't even an issue. if you saw that it had happened to you, you were stoked someone hit the other pannel.

Fuck though if i was gonna go that small on a reefer id go way in a corner or on the door or something to prevent getting capped.
i work with rail cars its a bitch when the car numbers are painted over makes me have to go out of my way to check the other side most of the time that means climbing over the fucking car learn your shit and dont paint over the numbers mask them if you think you going to paint over them your shit will last years [/b][/quote]Originally posted by grafxnine+Aug 5 2006, 10:09 AM-->

you guys are idiots for thinking it cool to go over the numbers.
"railworkers and the whole rail system NEED those numbers""
" they are tracking numbers to know what is in the fr8 and where it has to be unloaded etc".
" so when some idiot hides the numbers they have to reverse check to find out whats in that particular car"
"trains are really for a more special crowd of writers, if you cant show the respect it takes then stay out of yards."
Going over the numbers is not a big deal, talk to any train worker (while you have no paint on you/arent painting or doing anything illegal) they will gladly tell you that they dont care. Notice how the very same numbers are stenciled on both trucks of the car, at the top corner of the coupler edge, and on the coupler itself) so its not any harder for them to get the numbers right there, not to mention if you know so much about trains and i am stupid you surely know what a manifest sheet is, it tells them exactly what cars they need and where they are stored so even if you stamped every number on a car including the ones on the undercarriage you can only see laying on the ground they could simply look at their sheet and see "okay BNSF 722455 is here and the next car is BNSF 793990, so this has to be CSXT 161192." As far as unloading goes, that is tracked by a small piece of metal or plastic fixed to a boxcar door or the bottom of a hopper gate (this is much worse to paint over than the numbers and lots of people do it, if this is painted over they know EXACTLY when it was painted) that has a serial number, and industry/ car owner name, this serial number is read by the people at the industry not to guarantee it is the right car but the right LOAD making it much more effective than road numbers. Road numbers are how they refer to cars on manifest sheets, not how they track shipments and they are not absolutly necessary to the railroad. For example a SIMPLOT insulated french fry car with ARYS and PIER pieces on it that you have seen in several magazines (over the numbers jrsx6138 i believe) has been riding for years and will never be stamped, if you ever hit a SIMPLOT and you dodge the numbers you are stupid because MR. J.R. SIMPLOT does not restamp his railfleet, different cars different story obviously but theres some cars that are in between because they have different owners/ leasers like RAILBOXES, kill the numbers on a RAILBOX it might get stamped tomorow it might take 3 years it might never happen. Car owners are the ones who decide whether or not they will put numbers back but there are several shortlines and leasers that do not re-stamp their cars because it simply is not necessary, unless the black box is gone, those will always be replaced.
Dont fucking tell me im not a "special crowd" of writer, i hop freights, paint freights, bench freights, and am a pretty big railfan. And as a matter of fact have met almost all of the workers at most of the yards i paint that your trying to tell me to "stay out of" How often do workers walk up on you painting and tell you to have a good night and walk away? freights and cleans are what im all about and yep i only dodge them numbers 85% of the time, go fucking cry about it. Dont talk to me like some fucking toy.
to everyone else sorry for this long ass post, i got some railfan/benching film at target i'll post some flickeroos in the next couple days.
Yeah I've talked to quite a few workers and, the all seem to say the same thing. If they'd only stay off the numbers it'd be cool cause we need those. Maybe it's not really necesarry for the rail road company but, the workers seem to like having those numbers when writers go over em it makes their job more difficult and it increases the chance of having an accident because they have to cross over to check the other side. I' don't know just my two cents. Don't spend it all in one place.

Hi Tammy,
i found a lot of relatives thansk to you with pictures. If you are the grandaughter off Annetta Kruisselbrink-Soolsma, then we are related too. The Soolsma family in Holland are ancestors of my great grandmother who was Yetske Soolsma. Her father (Joris Soolsma was a brother of Jan Soolsma who emmigrated to the USA and is the grandfather of your granmother :-) So that makes us relatives in a distance.
Is it possible to write in a privat email?
It would be very nice to hear from you! Take care

Thank you, very much, for your efforts in acquiring a picture of Jodi Stutz's grave. I really appreciate it, and I believe many other people will, too!
I guess you are aware that she was kinda famous and something of a cult hero. It's sad that she died so young in a tragic, senseless accident.
Again, many thanks, and

About "Not the Sharpest Crayon" by Resistance
Not the Sharpest Crayon
Design by Resistance
Which crayon are you?
good one! I really like the progression of smart to dumb.
i really like the idea of this design but i don't think the composition of it is really exciting. might be interesting to see them placed in a crayon box and have the dumb one lying in front of it perhaps..
i want to be the buck toothed one.
Agreed with ginette.
Yea, the progression is great. I like your style.
Great idea, but looks kinda lacking on a t-shirt. Too much empty space.
i like it a lot, with a little tweaking I could see this print.
Great! I'm a little worried that the composition and stuff looks too close to Tools of the Trade...but obvious a totally different concept. I really like the idea of it though.
Thanks everyone!
Nice idea, and I like Ginette's suggestions:)
Fun !
hahah! nice!
Great idea, but I feel like it needs more work or something.
Like I said, great idea. :)
this is cute! :) i like how its not busy/cluttered.. good work!
$5! (p.s. i like the drooling one)
looks kinda bland
hahahaha :D :D :D :D
Ahaha, really great. Isn't the expression usually "Not the brightest crayon in the crayon box?" I'm sure there are plenty of different versions. :) Good work!
wow, way higher than i expected!! sweet!!
Thanks everyone!!

You guys remember that scene in Swordfish where Hugh Jackman's character is getting a beej while hacking into the DOD mainframe? Yeah, I wouldn't be that guy.

But if I were actually a person who is involved in this, I would be the smart aleck side-kick who almost blows it.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – The NAU volleyball team (19-5, 11-4 Big Sky) looks to bounce back from a five-set setback to Eastern Washington on Thursday when it hosts Big Sky-leading Portland State (18-8, 14-1 Big Sky) at 7 p.m. Saturday in Rolle Activity Center.
Saturday's match will be televised live on FOX Sports Arizona, FOX College Sports, and NAU-TV. FOX Sports Arizona is available on basic cable and satellite (DirecTV 686, Dish 365/415) throughout Arizona as well as parts of New Mexico, Utah, and Nevada. FOX College Sports is available nationally on digital cable and NAU-TV airs on Suddenlink Flagstaff cable channels 4 and 104 in HD. Jordan Byrd, Sharon Falor, and Heather Hodgeson will have the call as the broadcast will also stream live on Big Sky TV and NAU-TV.com with links to video and live stats above.
Despite the loss to Eastern Washington NAU clinched its first berth in the Big Sky championship since 2007 by virtue of Sacramento State's 3-2 loss to Northern Colorado. At 11-4 the Lumberjacks are one win ahead of Northern Colorado for third place in the conference behind league leading Portland State (14-1) and Idaho State (12-2), which both clinched Big Sky tournament bids last weekend. The top six teams in the final conference standings will qualify for the Big Sky Championship, but under the new format the top two seeds will receive a bye into the semifinals while seeds three through six will have to win quarterfinal and semifinal matches on the first day of the tournament to advance to the finals.
NAU continues to get strong play from its freshmen as rookies Payton Bock and Janae Vander Ploeg each totaled 20 kills against the Eagles. The kill total was a career high for Bock who hit .528 in the match with just one attack error in 36 swings while also adding a team-high five blocks. Vander Ploeg tied a career high with 14 digs to go with her 20 kills as she totaled her fifth double-double of the season. Vander Ploeg now leads the team with 335.0 total points this season while Bock has led the team with 206.5 points in conference play as the pair may be battling each other for Big Sky Outstanding Freshman honors.
Setter Kalee Kirby also had a superb night against Eastern Washington as she recorded a career-high 64 assists along with nine digs, two service aces, a kill, and a block. Kirby is second in the Big Sky and 39th in NCAA Division-I in averaging 11.17 assists per set this season and has totaled 30 or more assists in all but one match this season with 13 40-assist matches, three 50-assist matches, and two 60-assist matches. She also leads the team with 10 double-doubles this year and ranks fifth in the Big Sky in that category, having added 2.41 digs per set.
Portland State is 14-1 in the Big Sky with six sweeps in conference play. The Vikings only conference loss came in a 3-0 sweep at the hands of Idaho State in Pocatello as the team clinched a berth in the Big Sky championship last Saturday. Portland State leads the Big Sky and ranks 21st in the NCAA with 1.45 service aces per set and is 29th in the nation with 17.31 digs per set. The team also leads the conference with a .166 opponent hitting percentage and is fourth in kills and assists and scored a 3-2 win at Southern Utah on Thursday.
NAU's only 3-0 loss of the season came at Portland State on Sept. 27 as the Lumberjacks were limited to a .141 team hitting percentage and just 5.0 blocks. PSU junior Jaklyn Wheeler had 19 kills and 11 digs in that match and ranks second in the Big Sky with 3.98 kills per set for the season. Libero Kasimira Clark totaled 19 digs and five aces and leads the Big Sky while ranking 28th nationally with a 5.34 season digs per set average. NAU has lost 16 consecutive matches to Portland State and has not beaten the Vikings since 2004.

New here! Need some advise from you guys!
Hello all, I am new here, been lurking for some time(and looking for a miata too). Didn't know what to post/reply to since i didn't even have a miata (still don't right now)
I have found a 91 BRG LE miata; and I have always loved BRG, it has 142k miles, machanically all things work and sound good. So i went to see the car. The paint is in pretty good shape, but there are a few things thats bugging me. The rear lisence plate panel is cracked and looks like someone hit it with a baseball bat. The front right fender has a lil ding. The soft top definitely needs replacing (its cut and the owner used some things to glue it up, not to mention the rear window...). On the right window, there is a plastic thing hanging around, looked like its supposed to be sticking to the window where it will prevent water leakage...( i am not sure on this, even tho the owner said no leak on the soft top/window). The interior is a bit messy, the leather seats are ripped, the dash is ok, all gauges work.
Other then those, I think the car is not bad, the owner told me the time belt was changed at around 100k. I haven't owned a stick shift before, but the car seemed and sounded fine when the owner drove it. A new cat was installed like a month ago too. Is there anything i need to look out?
I talked the price down to $2300, u guys think it is worth it? Sorry for the long post, i would really use some advise from you expert
Heres the pic, but i think its really hard to see the ding and dent... Again, thanks a ton guys.

The size of room Rooms could be a bit more modern,not everything in sunflower yellow;) Pricec are rather too high
Its position at the beach, nice view of the balcony, spacious appartment, well equipped kitchen, parking facilities. No lift in the main building we stayed in, reception desk and the corridors would do with some refurbishing.
My young son and dog was welcome - and this makes me happy Maybe have an english translation of services available at front desk (the book in the hotel room) I would have liked to order room service, but didn't know if the hotel offered this.
Very friendly staff Excellent breakfast None
As a family with young children, the accomodations were an exceptional value for money. The location was perfect, and offered a variety of family oriented activities.
The breakfast buffet. Also, we arrived about 10 p.m. and the desk clerk was waiting for us! That is service. The room had a too much furniture in it so it felt crowded. But we were only there a short time as we had a 5-hour detour because we could not cross the Polish border (with our car) at the Baltic Sea as we had planned!
Quiet, well-appointed and web-bookable. Good restaurant. General signage, lack of full restaurant translation. Pool could be better.
Pleasant atmosphere and wonderful included breakfast. The wasted time trying to find it.
We enjoyed our stay immensely. The staff was wonderful and very courteous. The room was perfect for our family (it included a chair that folded out into a twin bed) and the hotel is very centrally located in Wolgast, only a short drive to the beach and Peenemunde. The hotel itself is charming and beautifully restored and the breakfast was delicious!
We were very well received by the friendly owners. We had an appartment for one night, it was comfortable. The breakfast buffet is small, but it has good quality items, and we enjoyed the breakfast and the friendly service and the presentation of the breakfast buffet
The location was excellent. It was right on the main road over the Peenebruecke bridge. Parking was easy to access and there was enough of it. The head man made an excellent recommendaton and his directions were clear. He apologized for giving us a room up 4 flights of stairs and he carried my bag up. We could have had an apartment up two flights of stairs for 10 Euros more, but we stuck with the original selection. There was a separate room for tv viewing. The structure of the hotel was interesting with exposed beams and dowel fastenings. I was surprised that we were expected to pay on arrival and no receipt was immediately given. We were given one when we asked after we came back from dinner. I also don't understand why there was no soap--either liquid or solid--fir the shower. I had to soak myself under the shower, get out and squeeze the liquid soap out of the dispenser at the sink, and return to the shower. There were no English channels, and the choice on the German channels was limited.

After Boston, Reflecting on Social Media and Disasters
When two bombs went off at the Boston Marathon last week, many people turned to Twitter and Facebook for information.
Similarly, when a young man went on a shooting spree in Newtown, Connecticut, last December, the world watched the aftermath in real-time over social media.
Charles Dumais, principal of Newtown High School, said Twitter helped him comfort people in the school community.
But media outlets can abuse the information they find on Twitter, said Andy Carvin, a senior strategist at NPR. He said that social media plus 24 hour news plus can resemble, "a game of telephone run amok."
Both men spoke on Monday at a forum at Columbia University's Dart Center for Journalism & Trauma.

The 2 times I am thinking about, someone else called 911 before I had a chance. Both times I IDed myself as a permit holder, neither time did the LEO care, he was more interested in the original problem.

The joys of a hammerless revolver in a coat pocket and a hand innocently in a paper bag.
Yep. This is the way I teach it, too. The first guy to call 9-1-1 is the GOOD guy.
I've called the police on myself when my cover garment blew open with the wind and exposed my pistol. Two ladies at the next isle of gas pumps looked upset so I immediately called 9-1-1 and explained the situation and gave a description of my car, plate number, and direction I would be heading next. Police said "thanks".
I avoided being the subject of a hot stop on my way home.
I'm not a zealot about what is legal or not. I'm just practical in the real world.
I have a perfect body. It's in the trunk and starting to stink.

Well lets see the guy got more aggresive and was saying you wont shoot me on camera as he pointed to the camera at walmart. Thank goodness the police came around the cornerbefore i had 2 pull the trigger
I'm guessing the best course of action would be to call 9-1-1 and report what the bad guys were doing, but not report that you pulled a gun. But this would be a good question for a self-defense attorney.
A traffic ticket is formal recognition of a lapse in situational awareness.
Twice I have let the BG`s see that I am armed. Ended the confrontation. No calls made.
Keep your powder dry
Not sure this reply fits under concealed carry, but recently I did have to draw and display my 38 (at home - the front door). Had an unknown visitor at the front door late on a dark and rainy night. I opened the door to see what the commotion was about. But first I grabbed my handy 38 revolver and held behind my back - out of sight. There was a young man standing outside in the rain and he said he needed to come in and use the phone. I said "NO, you need to get back out on the road and walk down the street to the gas station. Use theirs". Man said he really needed to come inside and he stepped up and grabbed the edge of the door. I jumped back and brought out the 38. I loudly said "get back" "get away from me". The man halted his advance but otherwise showed no concern for the gun in my hand. He continued to talk about being lost and that he needed to come inside. I loudly said " get back out on the road - Now. He wanted to argue with me and failed to leave, holding the corner of the door. He then said he had fallen and hurt himself and needed to come inside. He then wanted me to come outside and show him where the road was. I then had the heavy feeling that this fool was going to force me to shoot. I thought about a warning shot but quickly my mind decided to try one last verbal warning effort.
I then in a flash I dropped down into a combat stance, brought left hand up and grabbed wrist and at at top of my lungs yelled in the best angry Drill Instructor voice I could muster " You better find that (blankety blank) road Reeeaaaal fast". The man just disappeared like a ghost, in a flash he was gone. I was scared. I slowly advanced to the door and looked outside. He was gone. I called my daughter. She called SO. A deputy arrived 30 minutes later and took a report. The officer checked both my vehicles to make sure no one was hiding inside.
Upon reflection, the sight of a gun in my hands did not cause a noticable reaction in intruder. Only the wild eyed yelling I did and taking a combat stance seemed to do the trick.
Now thats crazy!
I bet your crazy voice snapped him out of the high he was on :)
"...trying to get a long gun into play while someone is all over you like a monkey eating a cupcake is not very conducive to good survival techniques." ~Bark'n
The 1 time I have drawn a weapon was while hunting with a muzzle loader in a public hunting area.
I noticed two guys in a car with IL plates (I'm in MN) parked on an access road near where my stand was. Later, I took a nice doe and while dressing her out was approached by two males, one armed but trying to hide it behind his leg as he walked. They were not dressed for hunting. (Red flag) My ML was leaning about 10ft behind me on a tree (loaded) and my 45 SAA was holstered under my left arm. As they went out of sight behind a deadfall I drew the SAA and held it in my lap aimed where they would come out.
When they came back in view, they started a story about being broke down (I had watched them run the car to stay warm) and needing help. I tossed my cellphone to the one with the gun (a small revolver) which he dropped trying to catch my phone (thankfully) and raised my SAA from my lap and loudly told them to keep their hands where I could see them. The game warden & a deputy showed up (following up on my earlier call reporting the suspicious vehicle) before I could say or do anything else. The deputy had seen the BG's leave their car.
Long story short, the car was stolen and both BG's had warrants. The revolver turned out to be an Iver Johnson .32S&W, when we dug it out of the snow, and the other BG had a Rossi 38sp in his coat pocket.
Being completely aware of my surroundings paid off that morning! Went home thanking God for looking out for this poor soul once again and that no one was hurt. One thing I can say is I don't EVER want to be in that situation again.
There are a few lessons I have taken from that incident, but I'll leave them for another time.
Two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner.
A well armed lamb contesting the vote.
The time I remember most happened several years ago on a Saturday night/Sunday morning. A friend and I were returning from an stock car race in the southern part of our state that ended late, and we had a 2 hour drive back to my place. I lived at the end of a 1 mile gravel dead-end road and had a short lane leading to the house. The closest small community was about 7 miles from home and while passing through that village a car pulled out and began tailing us tightly. At 2AM, I didn't like the feel and could see no lights indicating a LEO vehicle. Off the blacktop and onto the gravel and I don't think he was more than 50 yards behind at any point.
The gravel ended and my lane began, and as we pulled up to my house the car was so close you couldn't see the headlights. I had a .357 (legal and licensed) under the seat and picked it up as I stepped from the car, keeping it low and by my side. The driver got out of the other car and I could see a handgun in his right hand. Immediately I drew on him and ordered him not to make another move. I asked why he was now on private property and why he followed me so closely all those miles.
Here he was, armed, and I could see at least two other heads in his car. My mind was racing and I was fully prepared to drop him if he even twitched his hand. He claimed he was with the Sheriff's department and was watching for drug activity in the area. I challenged him immediately, since I knew all members of that department and did not recognize him.
I had no yard light in the area we stood and to say this was tense would be a strong understatement. As I stared at his face, I thought I recognized him from my high school days, and called out the first name of that individual. He responded, so I asked him for a last name, to verify if he knew. He did, and it was him. I still kept him under the gun, since just knowing this guy meant nothing to me at this point -- I hadn't seen him in years and besides, why was he armed and why was he there?
He told me a guy in the backseat had a shotgun trained on me through the windshield, and I told my former lower classmate that was moot, and unless he placed his gun on the car hood and the guy in the backseat lowered his weapon and came out arms up, this situation was about to get worse.
Cutting to the chase, those guys were playing 'sheriff' that evening, and none of the three had any authority from the sheriff or anyone else to do what they were doing. Easily, the driver could have been dead and likely me, too, all because some pretenders were out playing big boy.
Regardless, I thank God I was armed. After they complied with my demands I told them I was calling the sheriff to report this incident. I had them stand by the auto while me friend and I entered my house, telling them they could leave once I was inside -- I never lowered the revolver. Once inside, they left and I made my call, as promised.
Isn't it crazy that these three 'wannabe's' could have brought a tragic ending to several lives, and for what? The sheriff did contact the driver and he was warned about his actions. Interestingly, the driver did go on in later life to become a police officer in a large city and lead a distinguisher career -- one that would never have been, had he pushed the issue that summer evening.
Keep your powder dry and your line wet!
The only time I had to draw, the fellow making trouble decided he had pressing business elsewhere. Long before cell phones were popular. Did not need anymore coffee that evening!

I am a practicing Hellenic pagan. I use that term rather than polytheist for a number of reasons. First, my background is Wiccan (of the British ilk, traditional, stodgy, and quite hard polytheistic in its nature as
opposed to the more open, flowy, monistic Wicca of today) and while I myself am no longer Wiccan and haven't been for a decade, I still honor those who took the time to teach and educate me. Second, because the term "polytheist" is akin to "monotheist" and so saying that I am a polytheist says only that I worship more than one god, and nothing else. Saying I am pagan opens it a bit more widely, but also narrows the field a bit at the same time.
I admit to chagrin at the way modern pagans (and especially those who call themselves Wiccan, with no training or elder leadership to speak of) sometimes act. I stopped associating with the Wiccan community
because of those actions; they no longer represented what I was. In looking at a tsunami approaching, I decided the better part of valor was retreat in this case. The word has been taken for their own; I use
others instead, now. I am, however, quick to point out that while Wicca is most definitely a modern religion, all claims of Gardner and Sanders aside, it did start out as hard polytheism. The very idea of "all gods are one" would have been anathema to Gardner. The God and Goddess of early Wicca are not all one, anymore than the Morrigan can be equated with Frig.
I *am* a polytheist, in that I worship many gods. I worship many in the Greek pantheon (foremost being Hecate and Dionysos), a smattering from other pantheons (in their own traditional setting, as closely as I can manage), and Jesus from the Abrahamic faiths. In each instance there has been a distinct call. In each instance, not responding to that call has resulted in being miserable as the point was brought home again and again. I honor many gods, but worship few, if that makes sense. But I believe in them all. I would not presume to tell a god he or she didn't exist.
I avoid the term "Hellenismos" for much the same reason I avoid the term "Wicca;" it has been taken over largely by people who I find personally offensive and whose education and scholarship I cannot speak to. Terms… labels… mean very little to me. I am what I am, and the gods are happy with that. I don't see much need to worry beyond it.

E91 w 116K miles --- coolant leak
My E91 2007 has 117K Miles. I've had low coolant warnings twice in the past year. First time I only had to fill less than a quart. the second time, seems like half a gallon.
I looked down the engine bay and noticed that there's wet (likely coolant) spots at the bottom panel/tray. This is almost directly under the headlights towards the very bottom of the car. Something is leaking. Could it be the water pump? Or just hoses/connections? I need to open the panel up and inspect.
Does the water pump begin to leak prior to failure? Or does it just stop working?
I have not yet had high temp warnings. I'm very nervous because my daily commute is ~ 45 miles (1.5 hrs) each way on LA freeways.
Much thanks in advance!
Water pump is typically a catastrophic fail.
My bet is there is a(re) hose(ws) in need of replacement!
I will be checking underneath to see what is leaking. I'm hoping it is something minor and easily accessible. Nevertheless, I should be looking into replacing the pump/t-stat soon.
BTW --- nice P-car in the garage, but the engine is on the wrong end of the car;). My weekend ride is an 83 911 SC.

Free Beer & Hot Wings: Car Thief Attempts to Get Away on a Skateboard [Video]
This is news of a car chase in Van Nuys, Calif., but with a weird twist.
The driver, suspected of stealing the car, accidentally rear-ends another driver. Having nowhere to go, he leaps out of the car and on to a longboard, taking his his four-wheeled flight to the sidewalk.


text: Does anyone absolutely hate this guy as an announcer? Now I rarely complain or hate on announcers, but this guy is so annoying and clueless it's not even funny. He always states the obvious in this super annoying voice. He tries to sound authoritative and badass, but the stuff he says is STUPID! I wish I had written down some of the idiotic phrases Jackson throws together because there's at least three a game. If he ever becomes a coach I truly feel sorry for that team (please do not let it be us). Does anyone else have the same hate for Mark Jackson as I do?

George Elder, a fellow writer, wrote a book that looks to be a fascinating read. My Kindle has no shortage of material to keep me reading well into the next month, but what's a little more? :)
George stopped by Improvisations on Reality to sound off about the personal influence that goes into his writing. We all have it: that teacher who encouraged us, that significant other who always inspires us to do something, that one life-changing event – or simply, as in George's case, a series of events and strength of spirit.
I am delighted to host him on his blog tour.
Read on below the fold, please.
I have a very eclectic work and personal history—from college teacher, custodian, upper-
level scholar, drug addict, weight lifting coach, bouncer, and much more. My lifestyle included
hedonistic excesses and reckless physicality, the costs of which have come home to roost.
My eating, drinking, and drug use were the stuff of local legend, and as a result I suffer from
heart trouble, diabetes, high blood pressure, and arteriosclerosis. Heavy weight lifting and
other extreme activities led to several collapsed discs, lots of torn up joints, broken bones,
and advanced arthritis.
On top of all that, I developed Multisystem Atrophy (MSA), a primary degenerative
neurological order that has no known treatment or cure. However, I doubt MSA will kill me.
Indeed, I was VERY lucky to have survived my last heart attack and am acutely aware that
every day is precious. Hey, it's all borrowed time from here on end. That's why I'm writing like
crazy, having completed six books in less than a year. There is no time like the present when
one doesn't have much of a future! Ho, ho, ho! Ah, life is a hoot! Indeed, I've never felt more
alive than now, and my only regret is all the time I wasted getting high.
I was a successful writer and scholar before embarking on a retail sales venture that
devoured eight years of my life in mind-numbing tedium–and very long work hours. I had
published numerous articles, some in magazines with over a million readers. My previous
writing addressed nonfiction health-related issues for the most part, and I wanted to embark
on something more meaningful. Granted, it's late in the game to take on a new career, but the
challenge doesn't worry me. I'm free of most concerns, and am highly motivated to do what I
can while I can. How long I can be active is an open question!
Sci-Fi offers me the possibility to explore subjects I could never undertake before. Indeed,
the adventures within Child of Destiny allowed me to subtly explore philosophical issues that
I find compelling. For example, we all develop ideas about who and what we are, as in what
defines us as an Italian or Scott, Christian or Jew, scholar or warrior, and so it goes. But what
happens when nearly ALL our notions of who and what we are evaporates? What happens
when we are reduced to a realization that nearly everything we once held as being true is
shown to be a lie? How does one climb out of the valley that ensues? That is Kara's essential
conflict, for at its nadir her despair become nihilistic — as are the forces she is supposed to be
fighting against.
Currently, I am completing a spirituality oriented text that reads like a Sci-Fi novel in many
places. This is only natural because the book is about dreams, a few of which have found
places in the Genesis series and the prequel Deep Thought. However, the dreams actually
happened, and the messages they left me with should be shared while I can still write. The
subject matter ranges from violence and greed to searching for God—and it places the
experiences will certainly grab the reader's interest. The writing is very difficult because it is
1st-person active voice, a present tense flow that brings the reader into the text as an active
participant. I will turn it over to the text editor in eight days or so, and then start on the next
I have managed to do a lot of writing in a short time because my personal situation demands
it. We are only at life's table for a short while, and I have spent all too much of my time
engaged in self indulgent behaviors. Hell, I still eat too damn much. But the point is, time
is best spent when it is shared with others. These books give a disabled man a means of
sharing time, to go out-and-about as it were. I've picked up some insights along the way
that may help a person or two find some meaning. Perhaps others will be entertained, and
it is time for me to be generous of spirit. Spirit is nearly all I have left to give, but I'm more at
peace now than ever. There is no fear, no worry, just the vexation of finding the right words
and the joy of sharing dreams and stories with new friends. What could be better than that?
Dr. George Elder.

Maggie Smith fears stage fright after cancer fight
LONDON (Reuters Life!) - Double Oscar winner Maggie Smith has been so "knocked sideways" by her fight with cancer that she is scared to return to the stage.
The 74-year-old British actress told the Times newspaper on Monday that despite winning two Oscars and five BAFTAs, her confidence had been destroyed by chemotherapy treatment for a lump on her breast last year.
"It leaves you so flattened. I'm frightened to work in the theater now. I feel very uncertain," she said.
The actress, best known for her Oscar-winning role in "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" and the Harry Potter blockbusters, said at one point she contemplated death.
She also knew she will have to "stagger through" filming of the final Potter movie, "The Deathly Hallows" in which she plays Professor McGonagall.
"I think it's the age when it happened. It knocks you sideways. It takes you longer to recover, you are not so resilient. I am fearful of the amount of energy one needs to be in a film or a play."
She revealed she was in the middle of cancer treatment while filming "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" and said it was "weird" to lose her hair.
"Oh it's awful. You really do feel horribly sick. I was hairless. I had no problem getting the wig on. I was like a boiled egg," she said.

text: Hi folks! back again with another problem. I have a 2011 cts base with the 3.0. I wanted to add fog lights, so I got the lights, bezels and new turn signal stick for the column. Took the car to my friend who owns a body shop for the install. He installed the lights and bezels and installed the new stick into the column. When the switch is turned to energize the fog lights, the icon lights up on the dash, so all seems good to that point. He ordered a wiring harness to connect the fog lights, but said there was way too much wiring in the harness, and some of the pins didn't line up with the connection plugs. The dealership told him that's the only harness called for pertaining to fog lights, and the only other alternative is to get some wire and pins and make his own set up. Any ideas on a fix? I would have thought all forward light harnesses would be the same, and just plug in a section for fog lights. I haven't seen any 3.0 base models with fog lights---only saw them in the 3.6 models. Once again, thanks in advance for any guidance.:helpless:

Minneapolis, MN - With the 3pm cut deadline looming, reports departures are starting to trickle out through league sources already.
One such report hits close to home for the Minnesota Vikings who according to Mike Florio and ProFootballTalk.com have parted ways with veteran defensive tackle Fred Evans.
Evans has been a part of the Vikings defensive line since 2007 and started three games for the Vikings in 2013. The release of Evans opens the door for young linemen like Shamar Stephen to step into a depth role and have an impact this season. What Florio also mentions that is assures us is that nose tackle Linval Joseph is healthy and ready to be on the field for an impact in week 1.

I have a DP95 and was wondering besides sanding what is a good way to completely remove the paint on the helmet? I used paint thinner tonight for probably an hour, but still have probably another hour of pour-on-thinner-and-sand-with scrubby to go.
Any suggestions?
I'm doing this because the helmet is in bad shape. It has a crack in it, which I bought bondo today for. I accidently tore one of the mandibles tonight :( and the previous owner tried painting it and the paint was all sticky and gummy :yuck:
thanks guys :)
