A six-year term in the military gave me another view of the world, and after getting out I dabbled in various fields to broaden my experiences. The most fun of those was delivering pizza. People hide nothing from the delivery driver, and I've accumulated some fun stories from those days.
My most consistent hobby over the years has been performing massage. For the last thirteen years I've practiced a personalized combination of Swedish and sensual massage. It's a soothing hobby and one that directly benefits others at the same time. Win-win.
** Bonus: I explain my answers to almost all of my match questions. So, that's a good place to learn a lot more about me.
I've got a personal goal to do the full six-month hike of Appalachian Trail once I finish undergraduate school. Would like to get in some 2-week to 1-month hikes each year for practice.
I'm also proud of my ability to cheer people up via quirky behavior, amusing stories, or a simple hug.
Physically: Tie-dyed shirts tend to draw a lot of eyes - though they'll be less common going into winter.
* The Pern books by Anne McCaffrey (Not her son's additions.)
* The Valdemar books by Mercedes Lackey
* "In Fury Born" by David Weber
I particularly enjoy Dragons, Mythology, and Magic in my reading. Pern books are amazing works about dragons and riders, the Valdemar books have magic and morals, and "In Fury Born" combines future space tech with mythology.
No real favorite movies as I prefer to read. Primarily I tend to watch family movies and comedies, and am least likely to watch horror or movies based on books I've read.
Bit eclectic. My playlist might have Metalica, then riverdance, followed by Garth Brooks, then Weird Al. It's completely random and I love it all. I'll basically listen to any music except gangsta rap. That stuff tends to be far too negative overall for me.
* Malt-o-Meal
* Lasagna (and pasta in general)
* Peach Cobbler
Warm peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream on the side is one of my favorite deserts. Want to share the magic? I have an excellent recipe I'm willing to share (that works with fruits other than peaches).
* Curiosity
* Dancing in the Rain
* Imagination
* Lightning/Storms
* Stupid Jokes
Camping in nicer weather, movies or game night (board/card/video - whatever), or a meet-up at a casual restaurant where we can chat and hangout for a few hours are all potentials.
(Seriously. Believing that someone is honestly about to tickle me is enough to trigger the giggles as though they had... This has happened.)
* You're willing to entertain the possibility of eventually meeting in person.
(( I mean it. Phones and internet are so impersonal. Such a meeting may never take place, but you do need to be willing to consider the possibility. ))
I'd especially love to hear from you if:
* You have an interest in massage and/or cuddling
I beg you to message me if:
* You have a massive fortune and are looking for a new heir

text: Hello, my name is Andrew. I found this forum after a weekend of trying on suits. I'm trying to find a quality suit to get married in. It is great to hear the opinions on quality to help narrow down my search. I wear a suit maybe 5-10 times a year so it sounds like any of the decent brands will last me a while.

With her nose pressed to the glass, Hollie Hosch stared at the moving dolls with wide eyes. The semi-tattered dresses and faded faces mechanically cut down a Christmas tree, made a Christmas feast and filled orders for Santa.
"She's crazy for these dolls every year," her mother, Hannah, said. "She knows that Christmas at the museum means the doll collection."
Built in the 1960s for the downtown Davenport department store, the Peterson Harned Von Maur Doll Collection is just one of many features that draws more than 500 parents and children to the 17th annual Family Museum Winterfest Holiday Open House.
The museum was bustling with youngsters in the holiday spirit decorating cookies, visiting with Santa Claus, making crafts and doing experiments.
Elly Gerdts, public relations specialist at the museum, said the open house is one of the museum's most popular events.
"People expect this year after year, every year with different activities to do," said Gerdts, who said the slippery conditions didn't deter big crowds from coming out. "We always try to have new activities and things for children to do."
And with just a donation of a canned good, the day is affordable for families of any income, she said.
Mary Hannon is a single mom working two jobs and living in a small apartment in Davenport. This is the only holiday activity she and her sons — ages 4 and 5 — do because of cost concerns for some events.
"Everything is included here, and it's just such a wonderful time for my two boys," Hannon said. "It sounds so trivial, but even if other places charge 50 cents for activities, I simply can't afford it because I don't want to have to tell my boys they can't do things that the other kids are doing."
Although both really liked an experiment with dry ice, the big draw was the museum itself.
"We love this place,"said 5-year-old Tyler Hannon. "We put it in big letters on our calendar that we could come here and play and see Santa."
Another big draw for the children was the double Alpine train set that occupies a large section of the entry into the museum. The set often caused mini traffic jams with children wanting to watch the trains go through the tunnels, towns and tracks.
Beverly Jenkins brought her granddaughters to the open house for the first time and says she'll most definitely be a repeat attendee.
"This was very pleasant, clean, organized and a ball of fun for the girls," Jenkins, of Bettendorf, said. "It's indoors as well, so that makes it nice for us grandmas."

Vaniteux beat an above-average type on his British debut at Sandown in Vibrato Valtat and should go well at Doncaster.
Having shown a good attitude in the process, Nicky Henderson's imate then ran in a red-hot novices' hurdle at Kempton on Boxing Day.
Vaniteux came home fourth, but the result could have been oh so different had he not slipped on landing after the last.
Whether the five-year-old would have won cannot be said with any certainty, but he would have finished much closer and that form is streets ahead of most of his rivals in the Eventmasters LTD EBF "National Hunt" Novices Hurdle.
Sue Smith's Fill The Power made a respectable reappearance at Haydock last month, when not disgraced behind Benvolio at Haydock, and has more in his favour in the Larkshill Engineering Handicap Chase.
His previous race was in the Scottish National when he was a fine fifth on fast ground so the conditions at Haydock could not have been more contrasting.
The ground at Doncaster will not be an issue, nor will the step back up to three miles. Smith's string continues in good form.
Billy Cuckoo is running consistently well for Tony Carroll and his turn could be near in the Book Festival Hospitality With Eventmasters Handicap Chase.
Venetia Williams has in recent weeks been banging in the winners, which makes Mudita Moment must-bet material in the 32Red.com Handicap Hurdle at Huntingdon.
The nine-year-old has returned from a long spell on the sidelines seemingly better than ever, and made a most impressive comeback at Warwick on New Year's Eve.
It was no surprise to see him turned out swiftly under a penalty at Plumpton just five days later and while he was made to work hard to justify odds-on favouritism, his Warwick exertions had probably knocked the edge off him.
Williams has sensibly given her charge a month to freshen up and he is fancied to complete the hat-trick, with the step up in trip unlikely to trouble him.
Memberof can reward those who keep the faith in him in the 32Red Juvenile Hurdle, run for the Chatteris Fen Trophy.
Alan King's French recruit was strongly fancied to make a winning start to his British career at Aintree at the end of October, but was pulled up as though something was amiss.
King's string have, of course, since spent a lengthy spell in the doldrums, but his horses have run much better since he closed the yard for a short period.
Memberof showed in his homeland he has a good level of ability and he will have to run well on his second British start if he is to take up his entry in the Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham next month.
Spreadable has been on quite a roll so far in 2014 and should be supported as he shoots for his fourth triumph under a penalty at Wolverhampton.
Nick Littmoden's charge appeared to have improved for both a gelding operation and the application of a visor when scoring on the Dunstall Park Polytrack for the first time last month.
He beat subsequent winner My My My Diliza by five lengths on that occasion before following up under an extra 6lb burden just seven days later.
Switched to Lingfield after that, Spreadable had to settle for fourth and it was clearly not the 12lb higher mark that beat him that day, more the fact that he just could not get a clear run.
Dropped back to the minimum trip on his return to the Midlands venue on Saturday, Spreadable righted that wrong as he claimed a neck verdict, appearing to win once more with a little still up his sleeve.
He will be saddled with another 6lb in the 32Red Handicap but there might be more to come.
Boogangoo seems to have found her level and can strike gold once again in the 32Red Casino Claiming Stakes.
She emerged on top in a two-runner seller at the track last week, seeing off the favourite that day when slightly favoured at the weights.
Boogangoo once again has a handy pull in this event and Keith Dalgleish can prove he has placed her to good effect this time too.
Arlecchino has yet to hit the mark in two starts on the all-weather but his time can come in the Coral App Download From The App Store Handicap.
He was beaten just over two lengths at the track late last month and following that luckless run, he is now back on the mark from which he scored on the turf at Pontefract last July.
Arlecchino evidently has some ability and another slight ease in the ratings can help his task.
DONCASTER: 1.20 Rock On Ruby, 1.50 Vaniteux, 2.25 Civil War, 3.00 FILL THE POWER (NAP), 3.35 Top Billing, 4.10 Billy Cuckoo, 4.40 Caught By Witness.
HUNTINGDON: 1.10 Mudita Moment, 1.40 Browns Brook, 2.15 Henry King, 2.50 Memberof, 3.25 Prideofthecastle, 4.00 Pearlysteps, 4.30 Our Cat.
WOLVERHAMPTON: 5.00 Disco Dave, 5.30 Arlecchino, 6.00 Boogangoo, 6.30 Eva Clare, 7.00 SPREADABLE (NAP), 7.30 Very First Blade, 8.00 Rafaaf.
DOUBLE: Fill The Power and Vaniteux.

Will we have daily Maid Service?
We clean the accommodations at the Kauai Country Inn each time at check in & check out, and if a guest is staying longer than 7 nights, the guest suite will be cleaned at regular intervals. Fresh towels & beach towels, and bed linens are changed as often as a guest requires. You can arrange this with the Inn office or breakfast staff. This allows us to keep the nightly rates as low as possible, and affords guests ample privacy without the daily knock on the door to vacate the suite for cleaning. Because our accommodations are large, each suite takes between 2-4 hours to clean thoroughly.
For guests who require an additional cleaning during their stay we offer this service with a $50 cleaning fee - please ask staff at breakfast to arrange.
Quick turndown service...
We offer a daily quick turndown service which includes making your bed(s) & taking your trash out. If you rather we don't enter your vacation suite please use the "Do not disturb" door hanger to let us know.
Why won't you accept Group Rentals, or Families with Small Children?
Sorry, but we don't accept group rentals, and children have to be 12 years or older to stay at the Kauai Country Inn. We try very hard to provide a calm and relaxing environment for all of our guests and both group rentals and small children can be noisy and disturbing to the rest of the guests.
Can we smoke at the Kauai Country Inn?
For the benefit of all guests, smoking INSIDE is NOT permitted at the Kauai Country Inn.
If you must smoke please smoke OUTSIDE, away from the house, where it will not disturb anyone.
A cleaning charge of $250 will be added to any suite that has to be deep cleaned to remove the odor of smoke from sheets, bed linen, pillows, carpets etc. Please don't smoke inside and help us make the experience of staying at the Kauai Country Inn a good one for all of our guests.
Do we need a Rental Car?
Kauai has been voted the most beautiful island in the world (actually it came in second only after the Galapagos Islands) and there are many sites that simply can not be seen without a car. Public transportation is poor, and if you are staying at the Kauai Country Inn you will definitely need a car to get to town - it's only a 10 minute drive, but a 4 mile walk... For those who are a little squirmish about driving in new places: Don't worry! It's very easy, we only have 60,000 residents and it's all small town driving. You may find that people annoy you by driving too slowly...not kidding!

If you have visitors during your stay with us please advise them that they must park on the top of the road and not occupy another suite's parking space at any time.
Why do you have a 60 Day Cancellation Policy? Most hotels just require a 24 - 48 hour notice.
We find it necessary to have such a strict cancellation policy because we are a very small establishment consisting of only 4 suites. We reserve and guarantee a certain accommodation sometimes for many months ahead of time, turning away other possible guests. It is nearly impossible for us to re-rent a cancelled reservation on a last minute basis, because about 99% of our reservations happen two to three months ahead of time over the internet. Rarely do we get a phone call from a traveler already on island looking for lodging. If you think you may have to cancel please let us know at least 60 days prior to your planed arrival to avoid cancellation charges.
Having said that, purchasing
travel insurance
is inexpensive and gives most people peace of mind.

Superstar Injuries Mean Hitting the Free Agent Pool
It's been a tough day for fantasy baseball first round draft picks. It all started with Roy Halladay who went on the DL on May 29 with shoulder soreness and will be out for 6 to 8 weeks. The best shortstop in the game, Troy Tulowitzki, went on the DL on May 31 with a groin strain. And, the best fantasy baseball player in the game, Matt Kemp, went on the DL on June 1 with a left hamstring injury.
So, where do you look for free agent pickups now that you need to store Halladay, Tulo, or Kemp on your minor league roster until they get off the shelf?
Fantasy Baseball Replacements for Roy Halladay
- Wade Miley, Arizona Diamondbacks — The 25-year-old Wade Miley was the most added pitcher in Fox Sports fantasy leagues this week. And, why not. Miley doesn't have overpowering stuff (just 32 K's/52.1 IP), but he's 6-1 with a 2.41 ERA this year so he must be doing something right.
- Felipe Paulino, Kansas City Royals — Felipe Paulino probably wasn't high on your draft chart in preseason, but he's done the job for the Royals thus far with a 2.03 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 34K/31IP. Paulino had 13.2 scoreless innings before a disappointing last game where he walked 5 in 5.2 IP. Coming off of a 4-10, 4.46 season, however, you should proceed with caution.
- Tom Wilhelmsen, Seattle Mariners — Brandon League has been removed from the closers role and although manager Eric Wedge has said it will be a closer by committee situation, there's no doubt that Wilhelmsen, with his high 90's fastball, is the most prototypical closer to absorb the role.
- Roy Oswalt, Texas Rangers — Ironically, Halladay's ex-teammate Oswalt signed with the Rangers on the same day that Halladay went on the DL. I'll bet the Phillies wish they had held on to Oswalt at this point. Any way, the Rangers are pretty loaded and Oswalt hasn't pitched all year so it's not a foregone conclusion that the veteran will displace Scott Harrison or Matt Feldman in the rotation. Oswalt isn't the best short term replacement for Halladay, but we like the irony in it all.
- Trevor Bauer, Arizona Diamondbacks –Bauer is not ready yet, but there's no denying how good Bauer is. He's the #1 prospect in the D-Backs organization. The club's 2011 first-round pick started the season at Double-A Mobile and went 7-1 with a 1.68 ERA in eight starts for the BayBears before his promotion to Triple-A Reno. He went on to give up one run in eight innings in his first start for the Aces, sending the D-backs' faithful into a frenzy. He's been brought along quickly, but if you have time to wait until he gets the call, Bauer is worth waiting for.
Fantasy Baseball Replacements for Troy Tulowitzki
- Kyle Seager, Seattle Mariners— Kyle Seager qualifies at three positions, is owned in just 57% of leagues, and has been hot lately–3 hits on Wednesday and 4 hits on Thursday this week. Seager is mostly playing 3B this year, but also qualifies at SS, and shows a .278/5/28/5 slash line thus far in 2012.
- Marco Scutaro, Colorado Rockies — Marco Scutaro had a pair of hits on both Wednesday and Thursday this week. He's at .257/2/9/5 on the year and is hitting in the #2 hole in hitting friendly Coors Field where Colorado. Owned in just 15% of leagues.
- Evreth Cabrera, San Diego Padres — Evreth Cabrera has 3 stolen bases in the last 4 games and he's owned in just 3% of leagues. The speedy Cabrera, a lifetime .237 hitter, has just one problem: he can't steal first. He had a pair of hits on both Wednesday and Thursday night this week.
Fantasy Baseball Replacements for Matt Kemp
- Dexter Fowler, Colorado Rockies — Can somebody please explain to me how Dexter Fowler is owned in just 57% of fantasy baseball leagues? On Tuesday and Wednesday this week, Fowler went 7 for 9 with a triple and 3 RBI. His line on the year is .282/8/26/5. Dexter Fowler is one of the most athletic players in the league and needs to be picked up now. Fowler was one of our preseason players to watch in 2012.
- Lucas Duda, New York Mets — Lucas Duda hit a homerun during the first no hitter in Mets' history by Johan Santana on Friday night. That goes with 2 homers he hit against the Phillies on Thursday night so this guy is red hot. He's also huge and that doesn't hurt. Duda still whiffs too much (49k/170AB), but the Mets have to be happy with his .259/8/30/0 line this year in the middle of the New York lineup.
- Carlos Quentin, San Diego Padres — Carlos Quentin missed the first 49 games of the season, but since coming back he has clubbed three homers in his past two games and is hitting .583 (7-for-12). Quentin should be owned in all formats right now. Unfortunately, he can't play all of his games in Wrigley where he initially came back to, but he should be a force in the San Diego lineup going forward. Quentin is a must own in all formats.

Lesbian relationships are the perfect avenue for young girls seeking romance or sex. There is less chance of sexually transmitted infection, and no chance of unwanted pregnancy. It is during girlhood when forming bonds with other girls is most crucial, and by contrast when taboos, exploitation, and unfamiliarity with males are at their maximum. No one benefits from regarding femininity with high esteem as much as do young girls finding their way in the world. "Plus there is a plain-old familiarity and an innate know-how when a woman lies with another woman.... The female body seems wired to respond better to another woman's touch..... If you ask a woman about her first time with a man (or boy), you will usually hear things like it was rushed, unfulfilling, even non-pleasurable. Contrast that to a woman's first time with another woman, where the overwhelming majority relate it as a positive experience." (Ginny Walker, 2004)
Lesbian Lolita is a place for people who like reading or sharing erotic stories of underage girls experiencing same-sex love with each other and with adult partners. It is a place to honor and praise the sapphic path. I hope you will enjoy this fantasy story archive and the stories hosted here. Have fun!

Sen. John Kerry's office Wednesday announced plans for an Oct. 3 field hearing of the Senate Commerce Committee into the social and economic impacts of government fisheries policies.
The Boston hearing will feature testimony by NOAA administrator Jane Lubchenco, as well as members of the fishing industry and government officials — including Mayors Carolyn Kirk of Gloucester and Scott Lang of New Bedford.
The two mayors and other officials and industry leaders have formed a legal bond in seeking to overturn portions of Amendment 16, which has radically re engineered the management system, brought in Lubchenco's controversial catch shares format, and is bringing about a new and rapid consolidation of the fleet.
Lubchenco's unavailability to the Senate Commerce Committee during the spring and summer led to more than one aborted scheduling of the hearing, which Kerry promised to hold last winter after the administration declined to give legal credence to a report by the Massachusetts Fisheries Commission on the hardships created by Amendment 16.
Kerry's office said Wednesday that Sen. Scott Brown and the state's congressional delegation would also be invited to appear at the hearing.
Brown coordinated a late May hearing by another Senate committee into fisheries policies held at Faneuil Hall.
When NOAA frustrated Brown's efforts to obtain government documents related to the regulation of the fisheries, Kerry last month weighed in on behalf of his Republican colleague.

The institute is an interdisciplinary project being attended by teachers in grades 6-12 in English, reading, history and social studies.
The teachers are from Texas, Massachusetts, Colorado, Arizona, California, Florida and Missouri and 15 visiting university scholars from the United States and the United Kingdom.
The institute is funded by a $175,000 National Endowment for the Humanities.
"These grants are competitive and by winning one, we've put the university in company with such universities as Texas A&M University, Massachusetts Dartmouth; DePaul University; and University of California, Santa Cruz," Reid said. "The NEH grants are designed to bring school teachers together with university scholars, who are experts in the field."
For the week of July 27-31, the institute will focus on "How 'The Lord of the Rings' Shaped the Modern Ideas of the Middle Ages." Dr. Ralph Wood, an alumnus of A&M-Commerce and a Ph.D. graduate of the University of Chicago whose academic specialization is religion in literature, will speak this week. He is the author of "The Gospel According to the Lord of the Rings" and has taught Tolkien studies on the college level since 1973.
For the July 13-Aug. 13 institute, there will be a total of 14 speakers. Among the experts are Dr. C.W. Sullivan III, who is Distinguished Research Professor at the University of Oregon; Dr. Edward James, who graduated from Oxford and is a historian of early medieval Europe and served as the editor of one of the major scholarly journals on science fiction/fantasy; Dr. Amy Sturgis, who received a doctorate from Vanderbilt; Dr. Charles W. Nelson, who has taught on Tolkien for 35 years; and Dr. Faye Ringel, Ph.D. graduate of Brown University, who focuses on medieval epics and modern medievalism and has published both periodical and book articles on Tolkien's work.
Ford and Reid co-directed a Summer Institute on Tolkien in 2004 with funding from the National Institute of the Humanities. They have collaborated on university-sponsored Tolkien events, such as lectures to student groups as well as public lectures off-campus, and have team-taught undergraduate and graduate level courses on Tolkien.
Reid, whose area of scholarly interest is speculative fiction, often presents papers on Tolkien at academic conferences.
Ford is a medieval historian whose area of specialization is popular religion in medieval England. She teaches not only courses in medieval history, but also introductory courses on the scope and methods of history.

Cultivation Process
It grows successfully in wide range of temperature and rainfall. It prefers sandy loamy to loamy having normal pH range, super phosphate, decomposed farm yard manure Green manure and good drainage system for its better tuber growth. Ploughing is done in the month of March-April and sowing of seeds of sunhmp (Tag), or sesbabia spp. (dencha) at a rate of 50 - 60 kg per acres for green manure. Before commencement of flowers sunhump/dencha mixed with soil and irrigate for easy and early decomposition. Deep ploughing is done in the month of mid May and mixed 30-40 tonnes of decomposed FYM/acre. For breaking of clods and better palvorisation of soil, -4 tillers are the best. Final bed preparation activities must be completed before commencement of first rainfall (If depends on localities). Safed musli cultivation requires raised bed for easy tuber growth and for proper drainage.
Safed musli is a kharif crop. It is sown in the month of June, after first shower. Tubers of Safed Musli carefully detached from the bunch with dise portion. In a acre at the spacing of 6"x6", about 450-500kgs of planting material is required. Before sowing planting material is (bunches) treated with a contact fungicide and a bactericide. Planting done at the depth of 1/2-I" below soil to avoid exposure of its collar region with high intensity of rainfall. Just after planting irrigated the field, and after that maintain moisture in the field for its better sprouting and growth. Sprouting taken place within 7-15 days of planting.
For the control of weed growth, 2-3 weeding done in 30-40 days. Before going for weeding, first irrigate the field properly a day before for easy hand weeding.
After sprouting, maintain moisture and weeding for it's healthy growth and better tuber formation. Flowering started just after sprouting or 20-30 days after sprouting depends upon climatic conditions or plant nature. Within 2-3 months, and simultaneously fresh tuber formation started and in the month of November-December. leaf yellowing started and leaf fall taken place with complete tuber formation. At this stage tubers are not hardy and having thin and smooth skin and high water percentage and not suitable for next year's planting material. For that purpose left the tubers for 2-3 months for hardening, thick, and rough skin formation. For harvesting field is properly irrigated for easy and safe dig out of tubers. Its cropping cycle is of seven to nine months.
After digging out the musli tubers from the soil, they are thoroughly washed in fresh water. The large and healthy fingers are separated from the tubers and the small ones are kept aside to be used as planting material for the next season (Ventilated racks are used to store Safed Musali for next year in controlled temperature of 25-31oC and at a relative humidity of 50-65%). The large fingers are taken for processing. The outer brown skin is peeled off with a stainless steel knife and sun dried for three to four days. Dried fingers are packed in polythene bags and sent to the market.
On an average the crop gives a yield of 18-25 q of wet musli tubers per acre. After peeling and drying nearly 20% dry musli (4-5 q) is finally obtained.
We can also take intercrop in Musali. Pushpak Ayurdhan Musali Farm developed a formula with taking intercrop like 'Drum Steaks'. It is very profitable for farmers.

EVER since Steve McClaren took over at Derby County, it has been raining wins for the man once dubbed the wally with the brolly.
Ridiculed for sheltering under an umbrella during his ill-fated tenure as England boss, McClaren has breathed new life into the Rams.
Appointed head coach in succession to Nigel Clough at the end of September, McClaren has presided over no fewer than 14 victories in 22 games in the Championship.
The 52-year-old has taken from 14th to third the club he first served as a midfield player in the 1980s and then as assistant manager to Jim Smith.
During a four-year spell as number two, he helped the Rams reach the Premier League in 1996 before moving to a similar role alongside Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United in 1999.
His first management role came at Middlesbrough in 2001 before his appointment as Sven-Goran Eriksson's successor as England boss ended in November 2007 after a 3-2 defeat to Croatia at Wembley had cost them qualification for Euro 2008.
McClaren made an impressive return to club management in Holland and led FC Twente to their first Dutch title in 2010. He then became the first Englishman to manage in the Bundesliga when he took over at Wolfsburg, only to be sacked after 24 games.
The Yorkshireman made his English comeback as Nottingham Forest boss in 2011 – a post he held for only 112 days before resigning – and had most recently been part of Harry Redknapp's coaching team at QPR following a second spell at Twente.
Derby were champions of Eng-land in 1972 and 1975 and McClar-en has made a fine fist of his task to lead the club back to the Premier League following a six-year absence with back-to-back wins over QPR and Sheffield Wednesday leaving them just two points behind second-placed Burnley.
Discussing McClaren's appointment ahead of their meeting earlier this month, Redknapp said: "Steve is cool and calm. He is a well-organised coach who knows the game.
"I knew he was looking for a chance to get back into management, he was very clear about that, but I had hoped he would be with me for the season.
"But when Derby became available he was always going to go for it, having been there as a player and a coach. It felt like a very good fit for him. The only problem is he is doing too well!"
With parachute payments at Derby long gone, McClaren has made good use of the loan market with Patrick Bamford from Chelsea having notched five goals in their past six games.
As FC Twente chairman Joop Munsterman recently pointed out: "So it did not work for him at England. But who was successful with your national team?"

Frank Schaefer lost his job but not his voice.
Defrocked by the United Methodist Church six months ago for officiating his son's same-sex wedding, Schaefer has gained a following among reformers who want the nation's second-largest Protestant denomination to loosen its policies on homosexuality.
He's told his story dozens of times to largely sympathetic audiences around the country: How his son came out to him as a teenager who had contemplated suicide. How he hid the 2007 wedding from his conservative Pennsylvania congregation, fearing it would sow division. How he finally decided — in the midst of his high-profile church trial last fall — to become an outspoken advocate for gay rights at a time when his denomination is bitterly divided over the issue.

Discussion in 'NFL Zone' started by bula, Mar 28, 2014.
No he can't play defense.
I get no one wanting Desean. He is a clown on and off the field.
I don't get people hating on TO though. He was a beast on the field for this team.
It was meant to be.
I wouldn't want him for the vet minimum. He is a great talent, and has speed to burn. But we don't need the off field headaches. No thanks.
Carolina's HC Rivera said the team would be interested in Jackson. According to sources, Carolina Front office said heck no. I guess the Carolina GM and the Carolina HC need to sit down and have a talk. So, it looks like we have a GM/front office not giving the HC what he wants. Imagine that. You mean stuff like this happens on other teams? I keep hearing by many here that crazy stuff like that only happens in Dallas with GM Jerry and no where else in the NFL.
Im not saying we should get him, but the last time we had a "headache" that was the best team we put on the field in years. Richard Sherman is a headache. Michael Irvin was headache. "Headaches" dont necessarily stop you from winning games and championships.
So now we think sources are credible?
DeSean Jackson is what the media has tried to make Dez Bryant out to be. The difference is that Dez has manned up, has accepted curfews limits, and has a total team attitude.
Those headaches were not closely affiliated with suspected murderers, either.
One guy has a big mouth, the other cheated on his wife and did drugs. Slight difference, I'd say.
who ever gets him will get great value. I think he could sign 1 year deal for maybe 3 million. Not bad for 80+ catches, 1300+ yards and an amazing 60 receptions for first downs. I am not fan of person but he can transform an offense at this stage in his career.
can't do that while rooming with fernandez
I knew a thread like this would pop up...
zero evidence of him committing crime or even being apart of gang. There was a three year investigation and zero evidence he did anything wrong. I am not supported the guy but lets atleast keep facts straight. Chip Kelly wanted him out of Philly because he didn't fit into his college program mold and he will be great value for some team. I suspect KC would be great landing spot.
What is this a court of law? Yeah, some sources are credible, some aren't. 'Sources' first broke the story of possibly cutting Jackson weeks ago. Some laughed at the time.
You can go to PFT and view it if you like. We'll find out soon enough. If you don't see Jackson in Carolina for a visit, then you got your answer.
1. Other than dropping the ball before he crossed the goal line, and essentially rubbing the other team's nose in the Eagles beating them, what antic (not him being an Eagle) did he perform for you to think he is trouble?
2. Outside of money, which of all the things going seems to be the least of my business, would this player help this offense?
3. What would he do to Dez exactly? What characteristic would Dez learn from him that causes you concern?
4. Name the off field incident that causes you to think he is a bad guy.
5. If it's money, how is he different than T.O. in any other way? Both wanted to win but Jackson is much more well behaved.
I am not advocating this guy, but his skill set along with Dex and TWill would make this offense scary good. Dallas pays him the money, and regardless they can afford him and Dez and Smith, and this passing game takes several major steps up.
He's tough. He's competitive. He's got a great deal of Irvin in him. He stretches defenses to the max., and would surely be a force3 that frees up Dez and TWill, because you marry Witten, Escobar or Hanna, and toss in a running game with Murray, and this is a major league offense.
And you still have the draft to fix the defensive side of the ball.
So other than Dallas fans despise him, what are the exact reasons he would not be a player here?
It's more than that. He rubbed teammates the wrong way, was getting in fights with assistant coaches (one of which was caught on camera during a game), showed up for meetings whenever he felt like it, etc. Shoot, even Vick kind of outed him saying that he hopes he gets his crap in order.
That's exactly what the Cowboys need. Another prima donna who, best case scenario, will act like a ****** and be a problem in the locker room, or worst case, end up suspended or in jail. And his legal troubles might have little to do with his connections to gang members. There are also rumors coming out of Philly that he might be in trouble for insurance fraud over his house supposedly being robbed.
Not worth the headache.
Please...erod....that was way over the top.
Hell no.
Don't like him as player.
Don't like him as a teammate to Dez and the young wr's.
Don't like him as a person.
Nevermind, I had not heard he was associated with LA gangs and murder.
Here's a few:
1) He's rumored to be a pain in the clubhouse. He has fought with coaches in the past, including one massive blow up that was caught on camera during a game. A few Philly beat reporters pointed out this is not the first time he had a meltdown on a coach at a game or a practice. Some even pointed out it was surprising that the Eagles cut Avant and didn't try to resign him to a friendly deal because Avant was the one guy who seemed to be able to control Jackson. Even Vick couldn't and he said so as much when he told the NY media that he hopes Jackson can get his crap in order.
2) There are photos, posted by himself, on Instagram of him with gang members. He actually signed one as a rapper for his label. So while he might not be in a gang himself, he makes no bones about the fact that he has both acquaintences and business relations with known and alleged gang members. He's also posted pictures and been caught flashing gang signs himself. Those connections alone are a major headache.
3) There could be another legal issue hanging over his head as well surrounding his house being broken into a few months ago. It's been rumored that he filed an insurance claim and he might have committed insurance fraud.
4) He has a concussion history and is one big hit from spending a sizeable chunk of time injured. At his size, that's a concern.
I know people don't like the Eagles but they are generally a solid front office. They have the cap space this year and it would make more sense to cut Jackson next year, not this year, for cap purposes. So if they are cutting a 1300 yard WR who really isn't a cap issue for them, then something ain't right.

Cape Canaveral (UPI) Apr 26, 2005
Last week, aspiring personal spaceflight operator Virgin Galactic quietly delayed the target date for launching its first commercial suborbital spaceflight by a year or so -- not surprising considering the scope and technical complexity of building a space vehicle for tourists instead of professional astronauts.
What did raise eyebrows during the congressional hearing on commercial space -- which is where Will Whitehorn, Virgin Galactic's president, dropped his news -- is why the firm is backing away from a debut flight in 2007. It turns out the first roadblock is signing the papers to have Scaled Composites, Burt Rutan's aircraft-design and construction firm in Mojave, Calif., begin work.
Virgin Galactic, a subsidiary of Richard Branson's Virgin Atlantic Airways in London, last year announced plans to license the technology that Rutan and Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen developed to create the world's first private manned spaceship.
The experimental vessel, called SpaceShipOne, flew three suborbital flights during 2004 with a company pilot aboard, picking up in the process the $10-million Ansari X Prize for the first commercial spaceflight, plus dozens of other accolades, including the Collier Trophy, the country's most prestige award in the field of aviation.
The problem is U.S. export controls issues -- particularly those that involve the sale or license of technology that could have military applications -- have delayed Virgin Galactic's ability to place a formal order for the spaceships, Whitehorn told members of the House Science Subcommittee on Space and Aeronautics.
"At this point, due to uncertainty about possible licensing requirements, we are not able to even view Scaled Composites' designs for the commercial space vehicle," Whitehorn said. "After U.S. government technology-transfer issues are clarified and addressed if deemed necessary, we hope to place a firm order for the spacecraft."
The difficulties with export controls have emerged despite the fact that British-owned Virgin Galactic plans to operate its commercial spaceflight services initially in the United States.
"I thought Britain was a relatively friendly nation," Rutan told committee members, adding the export-control issues also are affecting the financing for the project.
"We have had to move away from the basic concept of this being a foreign-funded development," he said.
The issue affects far more than Rutan's ability to sign a contract with Virgin. Other firms, including a group in Dubai, have expressed interest in buying spaceships, he said.
"We have wrestled with this problem in terms of technology transfer to Virgin Atlantic for about five months now, and it has been difficult," he explained, adding that he has been discouraging foreign sales until a routine personal-spaceflight industry is established in the United States.
Despite a price tag of $200,000, about 100 people have signed contracts for rides on Virgin Galactic's spaceliner and agreed to pay the money upfront, while another 29,000 or so aspiring astronauts have agreed to put down deposits of $20,000 each.
Rutan intends to pack as much luxury and amenities as possible aboard the ships, which will carry somewhere between five and nine passengers. He wants participants to have their own windows to enjoy the view, as well as the ability to float during the 4 minutes or 5 minutes of weightlessness planned for each suborbital excursion.
If the technology can be developed to make suborbital spaceflight as safe as commercial aviation in its early days, then the market for space tourism will be enormous, Rutan said.
He predicted up to 500 passengers will fly during the first year of commercial spaceflight service and 3,000 people will fly by the fifth year of operation.
"By the 12th year, 50,000 to 100,000 astronauts will have enjoyed that black sky view," Rutan said. For that kind of breakthrough, however, spaceflight will have to become 100 times safer than it is today, he added.
The most important step the United States could take to clear the road for private firms to build passenger spaceships is to change its licensing and regulatory oversight, he continued.
With the SpaceShipOne flights behind him and the challenge of building, testing and flying commercial space vessels ahead, Rutan did not mince words when speaking of the difficulties he encountered dealing with the branch of the Federal Aviation Administration assigned to oversee commercial space issues.
"The process ... just about ruined my program," he said, referring his experiences with the office of the FAA's associate administrator for commercial space transportation, which bases its requirements on assessing and minimizing risk to the non-involved public.
"It resulted in cost overruns, increased the risk for my test pilots, did not reduce the risk to the non-involved public, destroyed our 'always question, never defend' safety policy, and removed our opportunities to seek new innovative safety solutions," Rutan said.
Because the agency's policies stemmed from its oversight of unmanned-rocket launches and an emphasis on assessing the likelihood and affect of launch failures, the process is ill-suited to reducing the probability of failure in passenger ships, which is how airline regulations are based, he said.
"The regulatory process was grossly misapplied for our research tests and, worse yet, is likely to be misapplied for the regulation of the future commercial spaceliners," Rutan said.
He noted ensuring public safety can be built into the process so it minimizes vehicle development costs.
"This is a subject that FAA seems to be afraid of, Rutan said. "They seem to be happy that they're not required ... to certify these ships. I think it really comes down to the problem that they flat don't have the people that are qualified to do it."

In 1972, Apollo astronaut Harrison Schmitt sniffed the air in his Lunar Module, the Challenger. "[It] smells like gunpowder in here," he said. His commander Gene Cernan agreed. "Oh, it does, doesn't it?"

Congratulations to reader Clint Gibson, who came up with my favourite suggestion for the name of JLS star JB Gill's sheep: Baarry.
I do like a pun.
A special mention goes to Mike Winter, who lives in Spain and suggested Clem.
I was tempted to name it after myself, too, but it seemed just a little self-indulgent.
Thanks to everyone who got in touch with their suggestions.
I have passed them on to Aston Merrygold (who gave me permission to name the creature) and the rest of the boys.
JB was presented with the livestock by the boys as an early Christmas present after buying a farm (yes, really).
The singer, 26, bought the Kent property, as well as a tractor to tend to his land, earlier this year.

New sanitation facilities help Palestinian girls focus on their studies
By Monica Awad
Jalood, occupied Palestinian territory, 21 March 2012 – For 8-year old girl Manal, going to school is no longer a source of stress, as she no longer has to wonder whether she will be able to access toilets at her school between classes.
'I used to hold myself until I reached home, because the school's bathrooms were always crowded. It was also embarrassing because we girls had to share them with boys, who always managed to access the facilities more than we did', said Manal. "In the end, I avoided the place entirely."
Located on a hill, approximately 70 kilometres north of Jerusalem, Jalood is home to 550 Palestinians, half of them children. The basic co-educational Jalood school serves 137 students age 6-15.
With funding from the Australian Government's overseas aid programme, AusAID, and as part of its water, sanitation and hygiene initiative targeting schools, UNICEF has just finished building a new block of sanitation facilities with four toilets in the school. Painted with colourful graffiti that read "Hygiene is the core of civilization", the units are mainly intended for girls, students with disabilities and female teachers. With the Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MoEHE), UNICEF also built four wash basins, provided two water tanks and carried out hygiene awareness raising activities. UNICEF also carried out hygiene classes to teach children the importance of washing hands with soap and on healthy eating.
It may not look like much, but in practice it changed the girls' daily lives.
"In the past, we only had three sanitation units, which was insufficient to meet the needs of students and teachers", says Abdel Nasser Darawsheh, the school Principal. "This created a major challenge for female students, affecting their learning achievements", he adds.
Building separate sanitation facilities where girls can feel at ease is an integral part of strategies for girls' education, as female students tend to miss classes or even drop out of school when they lack access to adequate, decent sanitation facilities. Girls, who are shy, need privacy and are less likely to miss classes if they can access girl-only sanitation facilities at school. The building of the new facilities at Jalood school with AusAid's funding should help increase the recent improvements in learning achievements at the school, where students' scores in the national Arabic language test significantly improved over the last year.
Jalood is a quiet village, except for a handful of houses located in Area "C" if the West Bank, which is under full Israeli security and administrative control. These houses are surrounded by two Israeli settlements and, according to the villagers, come under constant threat of settlers' attacks. This creates stress for children, especially since most settler attacks occur at night.
Manal, whose family live in one of the threatened houses, says she sometimes has difficulties falling asleep because of the stress. "Some settlers came and attacked us at night once, I was terribly scared", she recalls. "I wake up any time I hear a noise outside because I worry it might happen again", the girl adds.
The school principal recalls that "a fourteen year old child was attacked by settlers and injured in the eye during the olive picking season in October last year; his family had to take him all the way to Nablus to reach an hospital, some 25 km away".

Main Milestones
Thematic debate of the 65th session of the General Assembly on disaster risk reduction: President's summary
UN and UNISDR, 2011
Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /srv/www/html/sustainabledevelopment.un.org/root/content.php(613) : eval()'d code on line 770
by: This document gives a detailed summary of the Thematic Debate's panel discussions, and highlights calls made by the panelists and participants to bear in mind three core notions: (i) awareness gained from experience and the lessons learned from the past; (ii) prioritization through respect for the five urban "commandments" necessary for resilient cities; and (iii) prevention. The President of the General Assembly, Mr. Joseph Deiss, convened the informal Thematic Debate on Disaster Risk Reduction in New York on 9 February 2011. Organized as a follow-up to the High-level Plenary Meeting on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in September 2010 which acknowledged that disaster risk reduction and increasing resilience to all types of natural hazards can ?have multiplier effects and accelerate achievement of the MDGs", it aimed to strengthen the understanding on how effective investment policies and practices, as well as sustainable urban management, can reduce risk and exposure to disasters. The Thematic Debate consisted of two panel discussions (moderated by Ms. Zeinab Badawi, International broadcaster and journalist and presenter of BBC World News and BBC Hardtalk) with senior representatives from national Government, local administration, private sector and civil society: (i) "Invest today for a safer tomorrow" and (ii) "Cities at risk - Addressing the challenges of disaster risk in urban settings". These discussions were complemented by two side events: (i) "Taking Collective Action in DRR for Good Governance - Investing in Our Children?s Future? organized by the World Vision, Save the Children and UNDP; and (ii) ?Innovations in Disaster Risk Reduction? organized by the World Bank. The outcomes of the Thematic Debate will contribute to the upcoming Third Session of the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction, which will convene from 8-13 May 2011 in Geneva, as well as to the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) in 2012 in Rio de Janeiro.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Lawn Mowing Equipment' started by puppypaws, Jul 10, 2013.
could've cut an entire lawn in the time it took me to read it
I heard Simplicity Builds them for ferris
I was told they build them both in the same factory side x side That what a Simplicity dealer said. Ferris Cost more is the difference
I don't know that's what was told to me.
Took me a while to try to say it hopefully without offending anyone.
1998 - Ferris revolutionised the industry
with the introduction of Independent
Suspension (I.S.) the first ever
Independent Suspension System for
the riding mower. I.S. Independent
Suspension earned Ferris the
distinguished OEMmie award for
innovative engineering solutions.
1999- Ferris became a subsidiary of
Simplicity Manufacturing, Inc.
Throughout the next year, Simplicity
demonstrated its commitment to
the company by increasing its
workforce, completing a factory
expansion, and pouring resources
into product development.
2004- Simplicity manufacturing, along
with its subsidiaries, Ferris and
Snapper were purchased by
Briggs & Stratton Power Products
Group. To handle the continued
success additional square footage
was added to the Munnsville
manufacturing facility.
Took this from Ferris brochure.
I'll just go and re-read it, just to make sure Im not offended. Catch ya's next month! ha
Very well stated Ridin'.
Ridin, I will agree with most of what you say, but would you also agree that the brand mowers being used by the majority of LCO's in a given area could be considered to be best suited for their business?
When you say yes to this, of which I feel assured will be your answer, then it will be Hustler, Bobcat, Scag and Exmark in this area of the country. I do see a JD occasionally, along with Big Dog, Kubota, and a Husqvarna thrown into the mix, but the bigger companies run the first four listed.
What this says to me is different areas of the country have LCO's that either have better access, better dealers, or mowers that are better suited for their cutting situation.
You speak in a manner as to all the good LCO's live above the Mason-Dixon line, which is far from true, most LCO's that participate in LawnSite are very small fish in a really large ocean.
I talked with my dealer to verify what I said about some cutters putting a thousand hours a cutting season on a mower. You kind of wanted to dispute my statement by using another cutting outfit for your example.
He told me in the last 10 minutes he had two customers, one with 7 mowers, and one with 3 mowers that both averaged on each mower 750 to 1100 hrs per year. He said, "the customer with the 7 mowers trades every 2 yrs. and they come back to me with 1500 to 2200 hours on every mower he trades." Let's just round it off to 900 hrs. per each mower with 7 running, that is 6300 hrs. per year this one LCO cuts. So when saying the LCO's that participate in LawnSite (for the most part) are small fish in a large ocean is a relatively accurate statement. I forgot to mention, both these customers run Hustlers exclusively. I could probably get you their phone number if you care to tell them their Hustlers are not considered very good mowers for people in the real cutting business, and they would make more money and do a much better job with a JD or Gravely...LOL...LOL
The dealer himself said he used the 472 on his personal property and saw exactly what I had previously explained. We then talked about the baffles and mower setup concerning blades; of which I feel assured will be verified with time.
He did tell me his Gravely sales had picked up, and he had sold around a hundred, or possibly a few more this year. With that being said, he has sold 350+ Hustlers and close to the same number of Bobcats, he told me they sold 4 Bobcats Saturday.
I will say this, and it's not an arguable point with me for the fact I've operated and closely inspected the top mowers enough to make this statement. There is no mower manufactured today that is built stronger or has a cleaner designed, and there is definitely no mower that has smoother operation than the Hustler Super Z. There are mowers with equal to better cuts due to different type grasses and climate, and there are mowers that ride equally as well, with the Ferris being the only mower giving a better ride, and yes I have operated the 3100 extensively.
Please dont take offense to this, its not my intent. I have been guilty of the same blanket type statements in the past.
Satements like this are posted as fact when its an opinion. Many would argue every single point here. I too have demoed, owned or operated almost every major brand and have my own opinions. I try to state in everyone of my reviews its opinion not fact.
Another point is Exmark owns more than half the market share in the northeast. IMO its not the best machine for this area. So one cant really argue that more of a certain machine sold in an area makes it the best.
I take no offense, I deal with too many attorneys to let trivial things affect me.
Speaking of Exmark, my understanding is they have the largest market share over the entire country, what percent I don't know.
We have access to excellent Scag and Exmark dealers, along with all other brands. STI is one of the larger Scag and Exmark dealers in the area, I'm including a link to let you take a look.
What I'm getting at, these LCO's have access to any mower they care to run, and money is of no object to the LCO's that put an average of 900 hrs. on a mower per year. With this being said, when an LCO puts 1000's of hrs. on mowers each year, and can operate any mower they so choose, and you see them running Hustler mowers year-in and year-out, that must tell you something.
I would also believe if the cut quality was so bad it cost them business and money, they definitely would not be running and trading Hustler mowers every two years. I also feel assured they are running some of the 60" models as well, which tells me the cut and discharge problems are not prevalent in all grasses and climates.
A commercial cutter of this caliber will not deal with the problem Mickhippy has seen, they will not own a mower that gives them cut or discharge problems.
Question, do you believe that if an LCO putting 6000+ hrs. per year on his mowers was dealing with what you and Mick has pointed out as severe cut, but moreso discharge problems, they would actually buy the same mower again?
I am only asking for another honest answer.
I can tell you I would not own any mower the next day if I ever saw what you and Mick have shown through video and photos.
No I wouldnt think so. But again Exmark dominates here and I see all these guys struggling in wet conditions, double cutting etc. But they continue to buy Exmark....

'Community' Creator Dan Harmon Shopping New Sitcom at FOX
It's tough to be a "Community" fan right now. The show has been renewed for another half-season, but all signs point to cancellation shortly after that. What's more, the show's creator, Dan Harmon, was fired by Sony and will not be involved in this final stretch.
But there's hope for fans of the show, though not in the way they might expect: reports say that FOX is showing interested in a new show from Harmon that would premiere sometime next year, if picked up. Not much is known about the show right now, but it will be a multi-camera sitcom (in the style of, for example, "The Big Bang Theory") as opposed to a single-camera, like "Community" is.
This could potentially add to what is a growing sitcom slate for FOX. With the success of "New Girl" and some buzzworthy new shows like "The Mindy Project," a new sitcom from Harmon could round out the lineup in 2013 if any of the 2012 premieres fall through.
Meanwhile, Harmon is also developing an animated show for Adult Swim, and is working on a project through Kickstarter with "Adaptation" author Charlie Kaufman.
Community, New Girl, The Mindy Project

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
Hello, welcome to the site! My name isXXXXX and I will try to assist you with your medical question, and any medical information you seek
I am sorry to hear about this
The normal range is 7.5 to 11.5
These results are normal, and are nothing to worry about
Thank you Dr. Brim. I was very worried that I was developing the problem my mother had.
You're quite welcome
You do not need to worry about a blood disorder based on these results
With my mother's history should I see a hematologist? I have read that her condition was caused
There is no need to see a hematologist, your results are normal so a hematologist will be able to help you with anything
by a gene mutation. I read that there was a test that would determine if I had this gene. Is that
true? and can I ask my doctor to do.
What condition did she have, do you know the name?
she had polycythemia vera and from the hydroxurea I think developed leukemia.
Okay, there is no gene mutation in polycythemia vera, so there is no test you should have
Are you there?
Yes. What could cause my elevated MPV. Should I be retested in 6 months or so.
she was the eldest of 8 children and all other siblings have not developed any
blood disorders. I have two sisters and because my mom died because of these blood disorders I am worried I can inherit from her.
Your MPV may be high due to increased size of your platelets, and unless your platelet count is low, a high MPV has no meaning
Can you see my replies?
yes. I am here. Ok, I am not going to worry about it anymore. Thank you.
You're very welcome
If you have any other questions on this topic, please feel free to ask
If you have no other questions, please remember to click a rating button prior to exiting the chat session
Very satisfied with explanation.

How does Keen
calculate phone rates?
If you live in the U.S. our platform fee is 40 cents per minute for calls. If you live anywhere else, it costs more. Here's
a list of country codes and our per-minute
international phone rates.
Placing an International Call
Found a listing you want to call? If you're signed
in, the per-minute fee you see there is what you'll be paying. If you
aren't signed in, though, the fee you see on your screen will include
our standard rate for our U.S. members. So when you sign
in, that listing's per-minute fee will be higher, since it now includes
the international long distance charge for your country.
Creating an International Listing
When you create a listing, you can set any per-minute
price you want, as long as it isn't lower than our minimum listing price. If a member wants to talk to you from outside
the U.S., we'll add international long distance fees to
the rate he or she sees for your listing.

Discussion in 'NFL Zone' started by Howboutdemcowboys31, Jul 6, 2013.
I'm surprised the title didn't say Cowboys' Dan Connor.
Me too.
I actually had something similar happen to me once.
Except I was 14 instead of however old Dan Connor is.
And instead of a knife, I had throwing stars.
They were unsharpened.
They didn't need to.....the picture used in the story screamed "Cowboy".
