From: Wario_man | #268From: calhoun1389 | #265From: Wario_man | #264Alcohol wasn't made solely to get people drunk
So that's how they were since the beginning of time?
"Yo, Moses, 'bout to invent this drink. Gonna make you drunk and you'll have fun." "Really? That's interesting, I've never heard of drunk before" "Nobody has but I"m inventing it now. The sole purpose is to drink lots and get drunk. There's no inbetween, no way you could enjoy it responsibly, just drink more and more and more."
Respect isn't learned, it's earned.

The "They'll get it anyway" logic is my favourite. Because when I was a teen and pissed off with the world I had only to click my fingers and I could have gotten an assault rifle.
This. There is also a difference between a pissed off person grabbing their nearby gun and shooting the person they are pissed of at and a pissed off person contacting that illegal person that they happen to know and going down to get the gun and then shooting the person. Most people won't do the latter if they would do the former they would cool down before they complete it.
I also find it funny when people bring up second amendment rights, you mean the amendment that was made when most guns couldn't be easily hidden(pistols) couldn't fire multiple shots quickly(most weapons) and weren't automatic(assault rifles and such). The problem is the amendment was made in a completely different time period compared to the current time period. Not to mention the right to bear arms doesn't mean the right to bear any type of arms the person chooses.
I don't support a gun ban, but I do support banning specific types of guns. Those that can be easily hidden, are made to fire a large amount of shots without reloading or that are made to fire a lot of shots very quickly shouldn't be allowed.

What does this have to do with any of the modern day drinks that are manufactured for the sole purpose of getting you drunk, at any level of being drunk which includes the "buzzed" stage? Had they not intended people to continue to drink until they started feeling like their brain was altered in any way, they would have done something to get the same flavor without the nasty side effect of altering your mental state. It wouldn't be impossible.. hell, to substitute light beer you just have to piss into a bottle and chill it.

I said the sole reason guns were invented was to kill, you said the sole reason an alcoholic beverage was invented was to get drunk. I'm saying that couldn't have been the case and even now people only have one or two beers/wines at dinner, if that and though people probably got drunk back in ancient times I doubt that was the intent when it was first invented.

So I submitted a ticket to get my guild wars 2 email to be changed but after I submitted the ticket there was no account for me to login into. I got the ticket confirmation email but when I try login into the support ticket site I can't because I never created a account for the support site.
Also I included the new email I would like to it be changed to and the serial key, along with my order number when I bought it from arenanet. Will this be enough to get it changed?

M14 compared to M16

With the design of the M14. And that was to put a full auto switch on it. By doing that, they tried to make it something it never should have been, which is why 90% of them had the switch removed and the "selector lock" installed, making it semi only. If they hadn't fooled with the full auto in the first place, it would have been hailed as a great rifle and a worthy replacement for the M1.
I doubt it M14 would have ever been successful regardless of it's mode of fire. Yes, the full-auto capability hastened its demise but regardless the big bore battle rifle was on its way out in favor of the new "assault rifle" as the standard issue infantry weapon. What armies wanted was a light weight, pistol gripped, mid-powered, high capacity, select fire rifle. The Germans set the trend in WWII and Russia capitalized on it right away. The US and our allies lagged behind for years but ultimately we realized we had to make the switch.
The M14 offered very little advantage over the M1 Garand. About it's only improvement was the addition of a 20 round magazine and slightly shortened overall length. The Army really hoped that the M14 would be an answer to the AK47 and it wasn't. It was a failed design right out of the gate for its intended mission. But that's not to say the rifle is a bad design, because it's not. It's a very good design.
Today the M14 serves in a much better role in our armed forced. As a designated marksman rifle, it adds range and power to a squad. It also serves quite well in special units that need weapons with diverse capabilities depending on their mission.

Acetaminophen (Tylenol) overdose is the most common cause of acute liver failure in the United States.
It is strongly recommended that people who consume alcohol on a regular basis limit acetaminophen intake to a maximum of 1,000 to 2,000 mg per day. The preference is to stay at the lower end of that range.
Regular-strength Tylenol tablets contain 325 mg of acetaminophen. Extra-strength Tylenol contains 500 mg, so this would mean consuming no more than two to four extra-strength pills within a 24 hour period.
Acetaminophen is an active ingredient in more than 200 medications, including popular over-the-counter headache and cold remedies, including DayQuil, NyQuil, Anacin-3, Sudafed, Theraflu, Contac, Benadryl, Zicam and many others.
Only one tablespoon of NyQuil or DayQuil contains 325 milligrams of acetaminophen. Since the standard recommended dose of both of these products is two tablespoons, most people will consume 650 mg in a single dose. Three 650-mg doses in 24 hours would put you at serious risk of liver failure and death.
NyQuil D has even more potential for liver danger since one tablespoon contains 500 milligrams of acetaminophen. Again, the recommended dose is two tablespoons, so most people will consume 1,000 mg with only one dose.
Proctor and Gamble recently stopped manufacturing NyQuil D.
Common over-the-counter and prescription medications that contain acetaminophen.
The liquid forms of these medications are particularly problematic. Many people simply take a gulp of medicine, rather than carefully measuring out a dose. Not measuring the dose significantly increases the risk of going beyond the limit for liver safety. All such liquid products should be carefully measured.
It is crucial to never combine acetaminophen-containing products. Such combinations may very quickly put you at serious risk of liver failure. Carefully read the labels of all over-the-counter medications, as well as all prescription medications, in order to be certain that you never consume more than 1,000 to 2,000 mg of acetaminophen in any 24-hour period.
N-acetylcysteine (NAC) boosts the liver's production of glutathione, the antioxidant used by the liver to safely detoxify acetaminophen and many other chemicals.
By consuming NAC (500 mg, three times daily) on days you take acetaminophen, you can decrease the risk for serious liver toxicity. Never exceed the recommended daily limit of acetaminophen - even when taking NAC.

Why Spring Begins Early This Year
It all happens because the number of days in a year isn't even. A year lasts 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 46 seconds. Call it 365.2422 days. If only the year were 11 minutes longer, or 365.25000 days, we could simply add one day every fourth year and take care of the fraction forever.

SINGAPORE, Dec 12 (Reuters) - Singaporean sovereign wealth fund GIC Pte Ltd has agreed to buy an office building in Brazil's Rio de Janeiro for an undisclosed amount, in its first wholly owned investment in Latin America.
The building, Eco Sapucai, is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2015, a joint company statement said on Friday.
GIC is taking over the property from Hemisfério Sul Investimentos (HSI), a private equity real estate fund manager in Brazil.
GIC has been on a shopping spree for properties. Its recent investments include an office tower in Tokyo, shopping centre in Rome and logistic properties in the United States.

This Safety Presentation Could Have Ended Badly [VIDEO]
Giving a safety presentation is a good thing.
Unless you're just inches from disaster.
I don't know whether to be afraid or laugh after watching this video.
Recently a U.S. Senator was giving a rail safety presentation on a platform, just inches from the tracks.
See what happens next.
The moral of the story?
Don't stand so close to the tracks!

That is why I am featuring the one and only [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]David Allan Coe[/lastfm] as today's 'straight out of the country closet' feature! Watch the video of David performing "You Never Even Called Me By My Name" onstage in Texas!
This song always puts me in a 'party state of mind'….so happy Friday to YOU! Enjoy! David Allan Coe says that this is the 'perfect country & western song' and I cannot say that I disagree!

A new member of the Richmond County Board of Education will be sworn in at 5:30 p.m. today at the boards Broad Street office.
Patsy Scott, the widow of District 5 school board trustee Joe Scott, who died in July, won her husbands seat in a three-way race this month.
The retired nurse campaigned on continuing the tradition of her husband and ensuring that students have access to resources, keeping parents informed of issues and supporting good pay for teachers.
After Mrs. Scotts swearing-in ceremony, she will take part in her first official board meeting, where policies aimed at everything from saggy pants to mini-fridges will be discussed.
The saggy pants policy will have its final vote and would ban those attending after-school events such as football games while wearing pants that sag so low that underwear is exposed.
The mini refrigerator policy aims to rid schools and board offices of unnecessary small fridges, which can cost the system thousands of dollars in energy expenses.

wine on slackware 9.1
what version of wine should i get for linux slackware 9.1 i have dowloaded a whole bunch of wines and none of them worked and i cant seem to find the program used to install them can anyone help i need to know where to get a working version for my distro
Wine help
what version of wine do i need for slackware 9.1 to work maybe someone can help who has slackware 9.1 and is running wine
I grabbed the most recent version of wine source at the time (about a week ago) and it built fine for me in slack 9.1
ok but how do i "build" wine like isnt there an install program or something im new to linux
if you go to the SuSE 9.1 ftp site there is a version there. also, winehq.org will have the most up to date version avail.
if you installed SuSE already, it may have installed wine for you. have you checked...
try the whereis command
whereis wine
i dont have SuSe i have slackware and i cant seem to find wine any where so all i need is a version of wine that someone knows works for slackware 9.1
Sorry all I saw was 9.1....
try the whereis command
whereis wine
It could be under something like
cd to that dir and the rest should be easy to find
ok well i know i have a copy of wine and apparently it should work on slackware now how do i install wine do i just coy the files or is there an installer program for it?
wine is not working!
Hello All,
I'm new to linux (RH9) so bear with me but I'm having a problem running wine with a linux training cd I purchased from spidertools.com. I have a dual boot system (winxp and rh9 with grub running nice). I installed the latest wine release (wine-20040914-1rh9winehq.i366.rpm) from terminal. No obvious errors. I change to my CD-ROM directory to access the windows executable /mnt/cdrom1 and type "wine basic.exe". I now get the following error:
wine: '/root/.wine' created successfully.
wine: Unhandled exception (thread 0009), starting debugger...
WineDbg starting on pid 0x8
Unhandled exception: divide by zero in 32-bit code (0x403961f5).
In 32 bit mode.
0x403961f5: idivl 0xffffffc4(%ebp),%eax
I'm stuck in debug mode. I looked in the spidertools website (http://spidertools.com/wine_setup.php) and I don't see the /usr/share/wine-c folder for the windows directory structure. Could this be the problem? Any HELP would be very much appreciated. BTW.......I'm an MCP converting to Linux.
Superme: no, Slackware doesn't have installers. Slackware is a distro for whom operating systems is a hobby, really. If you want installers and things being easy to use don't use Slackware, use Fedora or something.
ok so how do i get wine working then, do i just copy all the files to the folder it says...
and if so when i make a desktop shortcut what file do i copy to the desktop so that when i click on it itll start wine
I have version 20040716-i686-s10

Among the Jaguars' starters who sat out Friday's preseason-opening win over Tampa Bay were running back Toby Gerhart and receiver Cecil Shorts.
Gerhart has been out since Aug. 1 with a hip flexor injury.
"I just got through a running program with Mylo [strength/conditioning coordinator Tom Myslinski] and it felt good and I had no issues," Gerhart said. "We'll see what the next step is."
Gerhart said he "hopefully" will be able to play at Chicago Thursday night.
"I don't know what the whole process is to [be able] return to the field, but each and every day, the workouts we've done, I've felt good and it's felt better," he said.
Shorts has been out since July 25 when he sustained a right hamstring injury in the Jaguars' first practice.
Shorts said today he is "definitely ahead of schedule," in his return, but didn't give a timetable. It would be unlikely if he plays against the Bears, but from the beginning, the Detroit game on Aug. 22 has been somewhat of a target.
"I ran 100 percent a couple times last week straight-line and actually ran 8-10 routes, too, and felt good," Shorts said. "I'm going to do it again Sunday and we'll go from there. … We just want to be careful and not aggravate it."

She likes to pull it out and push it in when she is performing oral on me and the stimulation is fantastic. Great buy. Cant wait for the bigger ball. My gal and I had seen one in a a femdom movie and finally tracked one down here. Very glad I did...

How many times have you looked at one of those tiny internet-of-things gadgets and thought "I wonder if I can make one myself?" – but were afraid it would be too complicated?
We've got the TINUSAUR project for you!
But … wait! What's this Tinusaur thing?
- The Tinusaur is a small board with a tiny chip on it.
- It comes as an assembly kit – a small package with parts.
- The Tinusaur is powered by the Atmel ATtiny85 microcontroller.
- This circuit is so simple that there are very few things that could go wrong.
If you like the Tinusaur project back us up
on our Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign.
Briefly, the Tinusaur Board is a minimal microcontroller hardware configuration based on Atmel AVR ATtiny family of microcontrollers and more specifically those with a DIP-8 case such as ATtiny85 but also ATtiny25/ATtiny45/ATtiny13 as well as their variations.
The goal of The Tinusaur Project is to have a simple, very affordable and easily accessible quick-start platform for everyone interested in learning and creating things.

The German team earned a reputation for calm and collected goal celebrations throughout the tournament. But Sunday, Germany let loose after being crowned World Cup champions, so German newspapers tried to capture the joy in the form of passionate, exclamatory headlines on their websites.
The newspaper Die Welt (The World) ran the words "All Germany is world champion" over a photo of Bastian Schweinsteiger leaping jubilantly with the trophy in hand, his teammates following while displaying their medals.
The German jerseys feature three stars, representing the country's three previous World Cup victories. Those uniforms now need a redesign.
"Finally the fourth star is there," shouted a banner on Die Welt's website.
Germany had last won a World Cup in 1990. The Germans lost an extra-time semifinal game to Italy on home soil in 2006. In 2010, Germany lost, 1-0, to eventual champion Spain and finished in third place.
So the word "finally" -- endlich in German -- carries a great deal of weight.
Given the long wait for the celebration, the German media did not shy away from superlatives as they sought to describe the emotional victory. The Frankfurter Allgemeine called Mario Goetze's 113th-minute goal "the goal of goals."
The Frankfurter Allgemeine also posted a gallery of fan photos, describing the reaction of the "black-red-gold" faithful as "jubilation that knew no boundaries."
Many of the German papers featured a photo of German Chancellor Angela Merkel with President Joachim Guack as they celebrated with arms raised high. Der Spiegel Online (The Mirror Online) posted the photo beneath the phrase "hands to heaven."
As part of the trend of spiritual imagery, the Süddeutsche Zeitung (South German Newspaper) ran the subtitle "Götzseidank," a play on the name Goetze and the German phrase Gott sei dank, "thank God."
As the Frankfurter Allgemeine pointed out, Argentina might have the pope, but Germany is again World Cup champion.

Doing it manually isn't quite as bad as it might sound at first, as the FFI libraries contain convenience functions for this type of situation: http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/base/Foreign.Marshal.Utils.html#v%3Awith So you get doStuff x y = with x $ \xPtr -> with y $ \yPtr -> do doStuffC xPtr yPtr -- calling into C land x' <- peek xPtr y' <- peek yPtr return (x', y') (The `with' brackets ensure proper deallocation of the temporary storage in a stack-like manner.)

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) — Retail giant Walmart is suing Visa and claims the credit card company is ripping them and other stores off.
Walmart claims Visa is conspiring with other banks like Mastercard to fix the prices of the fees they charge stores.
They say those fees add up to at least $5 billion, and they're suing for three times that amount.
A settlement was reached for $7 billion in 2012, but Walmart and other stores rejected it.

By: Beatriz Craven, Guest Blogger
I take a seat at church. It has been a few weeks since my last visit. My weekends lately have been consumed with studying for this horrible board exam I have coming up. The live music kicks off and I immediately begin to feel better. My heart starts to soften, and I become more aware of the tension I'm carrying in my shoulders. They're still knotted and tight from being slumped over reading notes for hours. The pastor begins to speak with us about taking a moment to stop. To be present. And I realize in that moment that I want to cry. My whole body wants to cry: "omg, yes... please... and THANK YOU! I've been needing this. Oh, how I've been needing this." An invitation to be quiet. Be still. It was only then that I noticed how long I had been running around in my mind trying to keep focused with my studying and thus keep any anxiety under control. Clearly, I could afford to rework my strategy.
There has been an exciting wave to hit psychotherapy that emphasizes exactly what my pastor was referring to and so graciously invited us into. It's called mindfulness meditation. And to many of my clients, myself included, these moments of true presence with yourself can feel like giving your soul a tall glass of the purest water you've ever tasted. It's so refreshing. It has the power to get us more in touch with ourselves. To see more clearly. To feel more grounded and connected in the moment. Can you imagine? We plan and plan for the future and have so many thoughts whirling through our heads on a given day. Can you picture how profoundly amazing it would be to just slow down and connect to that living, present moment? With practice, this mindful intention can help us break free from the unnecessary clutter in our lives. While productivity is surely not the intent of the practice, by being kinder and more attuned to our bodies and the living moment, we can proceed more effectively and successfully in our lives.
See if you might benefit from taking a moment to yourself. Find a quiet spot. And be calm. Be quiet. Be still. Let your heart soften. Let the compassion grow into a radiant shine. And see the amazing transformation that can come from it.

Derek Jeter was in the eighth grade when he wrote an essay in Chris Oosterbaan's class about his dream of playing shortstop for the Yankees. When he was in the 11th grade, the personal coat of arms he created for his English literature course included an image of himself in a Yankees uniform.
The odds of a kid from Kalamazoo, Mich., becoming a shortstop in professional baseball are astronomical, of course -- and the odds of a high school baseball prospect being drafted specifically by the Yankees in 1992 were diminished by a factor of about 28.
But Jeter has never concerned himself with odds, which is part of the reason why the teenage dreamer not only realized his vision of becoming the Yankees' shortstop, but will go down as one of the greatest ever to play his position. He is not wired to be preoccupied with the seeming boundaries of history.
That is why his conversation Thursday with Yankees general manager Brian Cashman was typical for him. He and Cashman talked about the setback Jeter had suffered, the crack near the spot where he fractured his ankle last fall, and about the lengthened recovery time, and Jeter closed by saying, in so many words: OK, I'll see you after the All-Star break. Jeter has never allowed any doubt to enter his tone in discussing his recovery, or what he'll be capable of when he returns. You cannot accumulate 3,304 career hits if your habit is to fret over what might go wrong.
The lessons drawn from historical precedent suggest players of his age -- Jeter will be 39 by the time he would return after the All-Star break -- almost never come back after a year of diminished playing time.
I posed this question to Kevin Hines of Elias: How many times has a player at Jeter's age missed more than half of his team's games, then come back to be a regular (defined by accumulating 400 plate appearances).
There are only seven players who have done this in the past 100 years -- and only one was a middle infielder, Luke Appling.
Most games missed by season, Derek Jeter, MLB career
2013 -- 96 (assuming Jeter returns after All-Star break)
2003 -- 43
2011 -- 31
2000 -- 13
1998 -- 13
Jeter is 324 hits away from reaching Stan Musial's 3,630 career mark, fourth-place all-time. He will need to beat the odds again for this to happen; he will have to beat the odds to be an effective player ever again.
This may signal the end for Jeter, writes Bob Klapisch. The Yankees lost to Arizona Thursday night, as Jorge Arangure writes. Eduardo Nunez is ready for more action at shortstop, writes Brian Lewis.
• R.A. Dickey was excellent, but now the Blue Jays have some injury concern.
• Tony Cingrani won his major league debut for the Reds.
• Brandon Crawford keeps getting better as a hitter -- he was moved to the No. 5 spot in the Giants' lineup Thursday -- and we had him on the podcast Thursday; also, agent Jamie Murphy talked about getting into the business, negotiations and client-stealing.
• I watched a lot of Matt Cain's outing against the Brewers and once again, his stuff just looked flat -- his breaking pitches looked flat, his fastball looked benign, and indeed, as Fangraphs.com shows, his velocity now is the lowest of his career.
From ESPN Stats & Info: Cain's struggles have been with his breaking ball this season. Opponents are hitting .361 in at-bats ending with Cain's breaking ball (league average is .204).
More from ESPN Stats & Info: Cain is struggling to put hitters away with his breaking pitches. This season, he has thrown 44 breaking balls with two strikes and allowed eight hits. Last season, he threw 423 breaking balls with two strikes and allowed 21 hits. He also has struggled when falling behind hitters. In at-bats when Cain throws a first-pitch ball, opposing hitters are 13-for-26 (.500 BA), including six extra-base hits.
The San Francisco starters are giving up loads of runs, writes Henry Schulman.
• Evan Gattis and Justin Upton are ridiculous right now, which is what Carroll Rogers writes, in so many words. Upton hit his ninth home run in his 15th game; it took Upton 98 games to hit nine home runs last season.
From Elias: He is the first Braves player with nine homers in his team's first 15 games.
• You can't stop the Rockies, you can only hope to contain them: They've got six straight wins at home, and they're now 11-4.
From Elias: Carlos Gonzalez is the third player in Rockies history with a streak of four straight multihit, multirun games, joining Ellis Burks (1996) and Larry Walker (2001) in that exclusive club. In the past two seasons, the only other major league player with a four-game streak of that kind is Mike Trout (June 8-11, 2012).
• The Pirates should have some different rotation options developing in the weeks ahead. Francisco Liriano and Charlie Morton are in the early stages of their game rehabilitation and building their pitch counts, but they should be ready in early to mid-May. Jeff Karstens has been feeling good, but is in the early stages of a throwing program.
On Thursday, Jeff Locke was hit hard.
• The teams that have used the most defensive shifts this season, through Wednesday's games:
1. Astros -- 52
2. Cubs -- 44
3. Rays -- 38
3. Orioles -- 38
5. Pirates -- 33
6. Reds -- 33
7. Indians -- 30
8. Royals -- 26
8. Red Sox -- 26
10. Yankees -- 23
The teams that have used the fewest defensive shifts this season, through Wednesday's games:
29. Rockies -- 0
29. Twins -- 0
28. Cardinals -- 1
25. Dodgers -- 2
25. Phillies -- 2
25. Tigers -- 2
24. White Sox -- 3
23. Diamondbacks -- 4
22. Nationals -- 5
21. Padres -- 5
Dings and dents
1. David Ortiz will be back in the Red Sox lineup tonight.
2. Jason Kipnis could be back in the lineup today, writes Dennis Manoloff.
3. Dayan Viciedo strained an oblique.
4. Michael Cuddyer is dealing with a hamstring thing.
5. The Marlins placed another shortstop on the disabled list.
Moves, deals and decisions
1. Mike Fiers was sent to the minors.
2. Joe Savery is being called up to replace John Lannan.
3. The Mariners called up Hector Noesi.
Thursday's games
1. Justin Verlander had a great outing, but the Tigers lost.
2. Edward Mujica saved the Cardinals' bullpen, writes Derrick Goold.
3. A Cubs pitcher had a strong outing.
4. The Mets' brutal road trip came to an end.
5. The Rays were taken down, after another disputed call went against Tampa Bay. Joe Maddon said he saw something.
6. A talented Marlins rookie had a really bad day.
7. The Mariners battled for a great win.
AL East
Matt Wieters and the Orioles had a whole lot of fun on Thursday night. He worked to avoid the pie to the face. It was a badly needed win for the Orioles.
Yunel Escobar has been dropped in the Rays' lineup.
A hitting coach is helping Emilio Bonifacio.
AL Central
Royals pitchers have been limiting damage with the home runs they've allowed.
The Indians had a terrible series.
The Twins added some tech to Target Field.
AL West
Monte Poole wonders: What happened to Jemile Weeks?
The Angels are struggling with runners in scoring position.
Two early-season experiments have not worked out for the Astros.
Alexi Ogando didn't have any command.
Yu Darvish is hoping to get better command of his cutter, writes Evan Grant.
The Mariners are not seeing a big change with the altered dimensions.
NL East
We'll see a great pitching matchup today: Stephen Strasburg versus Matt Harvey, writes Amanda Comak.
James Wagner has more on Ryan Zimmerman's throwing issues. Adam Kilgore wouldn't bet against him.
The Phillies have fallen and they can't get up.
Tim Hudson will be going for his 200th career win today.
NL Central
A Reds batboy got what he wanted.
Yovani Gallardo had a big day in his first game since his DUI arrest.
From Elias: Adam Wainwright struck out four batters without walking anyone in his win against the Phillies, giving him totals of 28 strikeouts and still no walks in his four starts this season. In the modern era, that's the most strikeouts without a walk by any pitcher in his first four starts of the season.
NL West
Didi Gregorius had a big first day.
Paul Goldschmidt has a big future, says a former teammate.
The Dodgers have some DH options.
Other stuff
• Joe Mauer turns 30 today, and Phil Miller offers some perspective on where Mauer is in his life.
• Miguel Cabrera turned 30 on Thursday. From ESPN Stats & Information, the players who accumulated .300 BA, 300 HR and 300 doubles before their 30th birthday: Miguel Cabrera, Albert Pujols, Alex Rodriguez, Frank Robinson, Hank Aaron, Mel Ott, Jimmie Foxx.
• Willie Horton had neck surgery.
• Rex Ryan did something really stupid. Ryan figures the Orioles should just give up a home game.
From Seth Walder's story:
The Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens can't open the season at home because the Orioles play a game on September 5, when the season opener is scheduled to be played, and the two teams share a parking lot. While there was talk of the Orioles potentially moving their game to another time, Ryan proposed something more ridiculous -- moving it's location -- during a rant against the Baltimore baseball team.
"Well, who really cares, you've got 81 at home, maybe you could have done the right thing and given one up and then played 82 on the road and then 80 at home," he said. "I really don't think people are going to care about that game."
Perhaps Ryan didn't quite consider how substantial the loss in gate revenue, not to mention the lack of home-field advantage the Orioles would give up, in such a bizarre scenario.
"You have a chance to have the defending world champs open up the season at home where they rightfully should. That's unfortunate," the Jets coach added.
And today will be better than yesterday.

"These are great ideas! I'm not the biggest fan of Thanksgiving leftovers, so it's a good idea to use the turkey in a new recipe."
"Even though there's already a ton of food at Thanksgiving, I really like having something delicious to snack on while visiting with family. It just makes the day feel more festive!"
"Could there be a more simple recipe idea for a specialty apple cider drink?! I am not a big apple cider drinker, but this one recipe may change my mind. I am loving the idea of adding brandy or rum to the cider. My husband loves the addition of the sea salt with the caramel. It is one of his favorite flavor combinations."
"The super simple cranberry roast sounds to die for. I am amazed at the simplicity. The only thing I would need to make a special trip out to the store for is the beef itself. Guests at your dinner party table will not be able to tell that you used FOUR, yes four, simple ingredients! Thumbs up!"
"I am trying to figure out if I would really want to use an entire bottle of red food coloring. Might not be necessary. ?? Pretty much any kind of cake can be adjusted to be made in your slow cooker. Have I done it myself? Just once. And it was alright. But I may give this one a try just because I LOOVE my cherries, especially cherry pie filling-type cherries."

*** CLOSED *** Fogata's Cocina Mexicana ~ Haltom City, Texas
We first visited Fogata's last summer for a weekend lunch, had a wonderful experience and...... never went back. Yea, I don't know how that happens either. Too many good places, and more convenient (for us) locations I suppose. But that's not a good excuse. Fogata's fell through the cracks, and so we made up for it recently with this dinner visit.
The first positive aspect I'd like to call out about Fogata's is their margarita's. Lately the RJG has been having a hard time finding a good frozen adult slurpee. They're either too sweet, too sour, not enough alcohol, not frozen, not... ad infinitum. But on our two visits here, they've been absolutely delicious. First class margaritas that remind me of Mi Pueblo, Anamia's, or Casa Milagro. Mrs. RJG had one on the rocks and she too was enjoying every second of it. Plus I like that their default is the large size. I'm tired of wimpy margarita's honestly. That's not a problem at Fogata's!
The second kudos goes to their food selection. I consider Fogata's more "interior Mexico" rather than Tex-Mex (though the usual combo plates are an option if you so desire, but I suggest you take advantage of the situation since Tex-Mex is everywhere else). So again, Fogata's compares favorably with Anamia's - and perhaps closest to Oscar's in Haltom City (which is no surprise given they share a common owner). We've written about all these places in the past. Now it's time to add Fogata's to our list of great Mexican restaurants in DFW.
The chips are light, and a little bit generic. The salsa provided has a good flavor, but is mild. On our first visit, the manager took pride in his ability to provide us a spicy alternative. On this trip, we were advised they didn't have anything hotter. So that's a bit of a bummer. That can be a deal breaker for us, but not this time, as everything else came up aces.
We each opted for the creamy chipotle dishes (Cozumel). I went with the chicken, and Mrs. RJG settled on the shrimp. The sauce is absolutely delicious, with a strong spicy kick. I probably would prefer it to be just a tad drier, but it's not a major deal. The shrimp is of the jumbo variety and very flavorful. The rice is excellent, and the refried beans were just the right texture and flavor. The shrimp dish comes with a bowl of black beans instead and she enjoyed them as well.
I don't think I've ever had room in my life for dessert after a Mexican meal, and this night was no different. Which is why I never mention it!
Fogata's is a nice, spacious place. You shouldn't have any trouble getting a seat, and they also have a really nice bar area if you're flying solo or meeting up with friends for a drink.
I was surprised to find out that Fogata's is in Haltom City. I didn't realize the suburb came up this far north, but a quick review of Google Maps shows that Fogata's is at the far northern border.
Highly recommended - and we'll be back more often for certain!

We went for the first time, my son order fajitas - the taste was simlar to the store bought Tyson bag at Walmart. Plus the tortillas was also store bought. Not fresh. I ordered a Margrita on the rocks with patron. They bar tender put Jose Cuervo instead of patron. Long story short, the food and drinks are terrible! I don't recommend.

OMG! Where did my Le Palais Gourmet Logged Teas Go?
Okay…I have logged at least 3 Le Palais Gourmet Teas AND added them to my Cupboard. I went to log that I drank the Midori Sencha again…and ALL of the Le Palais Gourmet Tea are no longer on the site…the company is listed as having ZERO teas on steepster…and I know I wasn't the only one to log Le Palais Gourmet Teas!
Has anyone else noticed any of their teas being eaten (or is it drank???) by the Steepster Gremlins?
Does Jason/Mike know about these lil steepster Germlins because I think they are really sneaky, stealthy tea thieves! LOL
Anyone, anyone!? Bueller!? Bueller?
Oh, TEB, that's my fault! The company Le Palais Gourmet has changed names to American Tea Room. So I moved all the teas to their new homes, where they're supposed to go now. Just so if someone wanted to order tea from them based on your review, and has trouble finding the company. I thought that'd be highly uncool. Just cleaning up and making Steepster a bit more accurate! Sorry if it caused some confusion! :(
WHEW!!!!!! :P Thanks for letting me know…I totally vapor locked! LOL
Thank the TEA GODS they weren't lost forever! :)
I'm hopping over to check those out…thanks again!
Sorry about the confusion again! All of your tasting notes are still there, obviously. :)
And their new web address is http://www.americantearoom.com
Do you think we could put something like American Tea Room (formerly Le Palais Gourmet) so it pops up when we enter!? Just wondering!?
I can still access their old website but it does say 'transition'
Here is the write up for others like me…who was surprised by this! LOL
is a new venture from the founders of Le Palais Gourmet. Enhancing the best and most successful elements from our existing retail store in Beverly Hills, CA and creating a new multi media presence that translates this experience online makes American Tea Room your ultimate tea resource. Our expanding web presence allows American Tea Room to provide our years of experience to a growing audience of tea aficionados. (from http://www.lepalaisgourmet.com/)
Please click the banner to go to our new store and click here to read more about our transition. Same great tea, same great service!


text: In stead of taking the tin to the field why not do this? I saw these pellet at another site. Use an old pair of rubber boots. Cut out the design you want then take an hole punch and punch holes in the rubber just big enough to push the head of the pellet through but small enough to hold them in their place then punch 2 holes in the top and put a string through to put around your neck. you can count the pellets in these. I think one holds 50 the other 38 or 40. If your going to shoot more than that then you can take a tin to replace but with these they don't make noise and the pellets are readily accessible. Hope this helps. Rickey

Jamie's Ministry of Food 5-Week Cooking Course
Clipper Round the World Yacht Race
Located just 45 minutes south of Perth, Rockingham forms the southernmost border of the Perth metropolitan area. The city fronts onto the sheltered waters of Cockburn Sound with Garden Island, Penguin Island and Seal Island very close by.
The Shoalwater Islands Marine Park is located a mere 500 metres offshore and plays host to one of the finest displays of wild sealife and birdlife to be found anywhere in the world.
Enjoy wine, a beachside stay or cruise the waterways, the choice is yours when you visit Rockingham.
Weathered strings of craggy limestone islands make up the Shoalwater Islands Marine Park in Rockingham which boasts secluded white sandy bays. Vibrantly coloured corals, over 600 pairs of little penguins, 150 bottle-nosed dolphins and countless sea lions call this area home. There are a number of ways to experience and interact with the local wildlife.
Starting out in the early morning, a dolphin interaction tour takes you to the heart of wild dolphin territory and introduces you to aquatic characters like Ringo, Boomerang and Logo. Led by your experienced guide, you will then plunge below the surface of the ocean where you will be swiftly surrounded by a host of curious bottle-nosed dolphins all vying for your attention.
A wildlife safari expedition will see you paddling your own well-equipped kayak amongst the chain of islands. Cruising is also a great way to take in the sights. A 45 minute excursion takes you to the beaches of Seal Island, past the rugged cliffs and pristine coves of the marine park and back to Penguin Island to witness the hand feeding of the sick and injured little penguins.
Adventure lovers are also in for a treat in Rockingham. You can head to Safety Bay to take to the waves on a windsurfing sail or catamaran. Fresh afternoon breezes here make for excellent sailing conditions. Even non-sailers will love chilling out on the beach and watching the colourful sails dash across the waves, or try your hand at jet skiing, stand up paddle boarding and jet packing - the newest craze to hit Perth. Inland from Rockingham you can try wakeboarding at the Perth Wake Park - the only cable wakeboard park in Western Australia.
For calmer conditions, head to Rockingham Beach. This protected swimming area is ideal for families and also offers a safe snorkelling environment. More experienced snorkellers and divers can head to the West Coast Dive Park. This park is rich in dive wrecks and boasts a wonder world of fish and coral.
Food and wine lovers are well catered for in Rockingham with a host of excellent cafés and restaurants along the foreshore and a nearby winery. History buffs can also set out on a number of heritage trails, walks and drives that exist within the region. Other activities include, first-class championship golf courses, historical sights and some excellent recreational fishing.

A 20-year-old man died after lightning struck 14 people at a popular Los Angeles beach and a golf course, a coroner's official said on Sunday.
Los Angeles County coroner's Lt. Larry Dietz said the man was taken from Venice Beach and pronounced dead at a hospital.
Lifeguards bring ashore a victim of a lightning strike in Venice, California (Reuters)
Nine people went to hospitals, including one who remained in critical condition.
Los Angeles Fire Department spokeswoman Katherine Main earlier told AFP seven adults and a 15 year-old were rushed to area hospitals after the lightning stuck, but would not confirm any fatality.
The lightning struck as rare summer thunderstorms swept through southern California.
Witnesses on the beach described scenes of panic as the sky darkened and lightning erupted seemingly out of nowhere, accompanied by thunder and rain.
"You could hear everybody screaming," Angelica Roquemore told The Los Angeles Times.
Roger Davis told the newspaper his home shook and that he heard explosions. When he ran outside, his neighbor - a doctor - was administering CPR to a victim.
Steve Christensen said his friend tried to help when lifeguards began searching for a missing swimmer.
"He went out to the water to find him and walked right into him," Christensen said. "He was face down on the bottom."
Mr Christensen said his friend pulled the man from the water, and lifeguards began trying to resuscitate him before taking him away on a truck.

Stuart Acher said he was struck while playing volleyball on the beach.
"All of a sudden there was a big flash of light and a boom, and it felt like someone punched me in the back of my head," he told KABC-TV. "It went down my whole side of my right body, and my calves sort of locked up, and I fell over. And I looked up and everybody else was, you know, falling over."
Other fire officials said most of those taken to hospitals were mainly shaken up and were expected to recover.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said the 14th person was struck on a golf course on southern California's Catalina Island. The 57-year-old man was reported in stable condition.

TUESDAY & WEDNESDAY's POSTS From the LONDON GAZETTE.
The following is an extract of a letter from GENERAL WASHINGTON to the Congress, dated Jan. 22, 1777.
" My Last was on the 20th inst. since that I have the pleasure to inform you, that GENERAL DICKINSON, with about 400 militia, had defeated a foraging part of the enemy of an equal number, and has taken forty waggons, and upwards of 100 horses, most of them of the English draught breed, and a number of sheep and cattle which they had collected.
The enemy retreated with so much precipitation, that GENERAL DICKINSON had only an opportunity of making 9 prisoners; they were obliged to carry off a great many dead and wounded in light waggons.
The action happened near Somerset Court house on Milltson river. GENERAL DICKINSON's behaviour reflects the highest honour upon him, for though his troops were all raw, he led them through the river, middle deep, and gave the enemy so severe a charge, that although supported by three field pieces, they gave way, and left their convoy.
Published by order of the Congress.
C. THOMPSON, Secretary "

Dubbed "the new protocol of soul," Vintage Trouble has been on the verge of a breakthrough for a couple of years. Given Saturday's visceral reaction from ACL, that status won't remain valid for long.
The Hollywood quartet pumped itself and the audience up with the brief "High Times (They Are Coming)," its gospel fervor forcing feet to move and hearts to beat faster. The spectacular "Blues Hand Me Down" hit home hardest with the sight of sharp-dressed singer Ty Taylor spinning like a top and spiraling his mic cable as guitarist Nalle Colt rocked confidently and the rhythm section shook the groove into the ground.
Taylor knew it, too, and rounded up a sense of audience participation for nearly every song afterward. A cappella call-and-response during the funky yet tender "Nancy Lee" caught immediate fire, while the singer's command to "1-2-3, push your pelvis with me!" during the wild single "Pelvis Pusher" cranked the heat.
Socially conscious ballad "Not Alright By Me," featuring local guest singer Patrice Pike, turned VT's flame down to a simmer, but Colt broke out his nasty slide for the explosive "Run Like the River," during which Taylor joined the crowd. There was no containing this inferno. The Wilson Pickett-soaked "Strike Your Light" practically melted the stage.
Later, Taylor channeled his inner Sam Cooke on closing ballad "Run Outta You," enticing the audience to sing the chorus after Colt's frenzied guitar solo and sending the musicians offstage one-by-one in a gentle cool down. Not since the Bellrays or even Cowboy Mouth has a band so quickly and easily placed the people in the palm of its hand. Vintage Trouble's gospel power has nothing to do with religion. It's the physical manifestation of collective soul.

The Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution describes particle speeds in gases, where the particles do not constantly interact with each other but move freely between short collisions. It describes the probability of a particle's speed (the magnitude of its velocity vector) being near a given value as a function of the temperature of the system, the mass of the particle, and that speed value. This probability distribution is named after James Clerk Maxwell and Ludwig Boltzmann.
The Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution is usually thought of as the distribution for molecular speeds, but it can also refer to the distribution for velocities, momenta, and magnitude of the momenta of the molecules, each of which will have a different probability distribution function, all of which are related. Unless otherwise stated, this article will use "Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution" to refer to the distribution of speed. This distribution can be thought of as the magnitude of a 3-dimensional vector whose components are independent and normally distributed with mean 0 and standard deviation a. If Xi are distributed as , then
is distributed as a Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution with parameter a. Apart from the scale parameter a, the distribution is identical to the chi distribution with 3 degrees of freedom.
The Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution applies to ideal gases close to thermodynamic equilibrium, negligible quantum effects, and non-relativistic speeds. It forms the basis of the kinetic theory of gases, which explains many fundamental gas properties, including pressure and diffusion.

Alcorn State rallies to beat Grambling State 22-21
SHREVEPORT, La. (AP) -- Arnold Walker scored the go-ahead touchdown with 1:33 remaining to lead Alcorn State past Grambling State 22-21 on Saturday night as the team's opened their seasons in the Port City Classic.
Walker's touchdown capped a 13-point, fourth-quarter rally for the victory after Grambling State led 21-9 through three quarters. His 4-yard touchdown run gave Alcorn its first lead of the game.
Grambling State fumbled two punts inside its 15-yard line, which Alcorn State recovered and converted into nine points.
The Tigers built their first-half lead behind Dawrence Roberts, who rushed for 98 yards before succumbing to cramps. He did not return for the second half.

If you're a fan of the Android Minis then you'll want to check out the new Chinese New Year special edition collectable. Dyzplastic will be shipping most of the Minis out to Asia to celebrate the New Year, but fortunately a limited number will also be made available for purchase through the Dead Zebra store.
Dyzplastic clearly like making new little droids to celebrate various yearly events, as they released a Werewolf Android Mini for Halloween, and a wintry Franky Frost this holiday season.
Each celebratory Chinese New Year Android Mini comes holding a traditional head of lettuce and one of seven unique scrolls, each of which have a different Chinese message written on them. The scrolls are wrapped up though, so you won't know which message you have until you open it up.
You'll be able to order the Chinese New Year special edition from 11AM EST on Thursday January 24th from the Dead Zebra Shop, although you'll have to wait a week for shipping. If you want to secure yourself one you'd better be quick, as they tend to sell out fast.

my husband and I both do quilting and machine embroidery. We bought a lingerie dresser for around 100 and it holds hundreds of spools of thread. We love it. It keeps them out of sight and organized.
OH MY GAWSH I love this!!!
Wow! I am impressed at the very creative nice storage.
has anyone made a cover for the thread holders that hang on the wall that would keep them from getting dusty and away from the light
Okay, I'm impressed!
Great idea...

The Daily Show with Jon Stewart took aim at the sudden evolution of marriage equality supporters in Congress lately, including Democratic senators Bill Nelson, Kay Hagan, and Claire McCaskill, as well as Republicans Mark Kirk and Rob Portman. Just three Democrats in the Senate remain opposed.
Stewart also joked that it would take a catastrophic brain injury in order for Republicans to support marriage equality, as was the case with Kirk, who said his recent stroke put the issue into perspective.

Cindy Cashdollar and Redd Volkaert
When: Saturday, 7 p.m.
Where: Museum of Making Music, 5790 Armada Drive, Carlsbad
Tickets: $15-$20
Phone: (760) 438-5996, ext. 212
Online: museumofmakingmus...
Her expansive list of musical collaborators makes it easy to understand why steel guitarist Cindy Cashdollar left her longtime gig with the Western swing band Asleep at the Wheel.
It was hard to stick with one genre when she could make her strings sing a bossa nova, quote a jazz melody or add a touch of angst to a country chestnut.
Cashdollar, who performs Saturday with guitarist Redd Volkaert at the Museum of Making Music, has applied her talents to recordings by everyone from Bob Dylan to rocker Bryan Adams to the jazz group Manhattan Transfer. She has toured with Van Morrison and Willie Nelson and performs regularly with Garrison Keillor's "A Prairie Home Companion" house band.
That's just the way she likes it.
"I wanted to leave before I started not liking Western swing and I was missing the variety of music I was doing before I joined Asleep at the Wheel," said Cashdollar, who performed with the Grammy Award-winning group from 1993 to 2001. "It was an amazing time and I wouldn't trade those eight years for anything. But I like so many styles of music, it's good that I'm not locked into one thing."
Like Cashdollar, Volkaert is based in Austin and shares a hankering for variety.
"You can be doing one style of music and he'll whip out a Jimi Hendrix lick in the middle of it," Cashdollar said. "He's such an excellent guitar player. He has a great sense of humor and it shows in his playing style."
Born in Woodstock, N.Y., Cashdollar began her musical career as a guitarist. After high school, she took a waitress job at Rose's Cantina and heard dobro player Ronnie Sutton, hired to provide the entertainment.
"The sound really grabbed me," Cashdollar said. "It's so expressive and it reminds me of a human voice with the tone and the bending and sustaining of notes. I thought, I have to learn this instrument."
A dobro, named after its founders, the Dopyera Brothers, is one of the most popular brands of a resonator guitar, or an acoustic guitar with a metal resonator built into the body to amplify the sound. The non-pedal steel and resonator guitars Cashdollar uses are played in a horizontal position. She plucks the strings with one hand and grips a metal slide with the other.
The unusual instrument choice isn't the only thing that distinguishes Cashdollar – there's also that name.
"I always wanted to change it," said Cashdollar, who will bring her 1956 Fender double-neck steel guitar (she'll also perform on a lap and dobro guitar). "It sounds made up in a silly way, but it isn't. People remember it."
The Museum of Making Music is hosting the concert, one of a five-part series that complements "The Magic & Mystery of Slide Guitar" exhibition.
"I'm sure it's amazing," Cashdollar said. "A couple of my friends have guitars in the exhibit, and my friend Sonny Landreth played there when it opened. I think the audience will be cool."

In the wake of the murder of Rabbi Joseph Raksin, the Greater Miami Jewish Federation, Anti-Defamation League and Rabbinical Association of Miami announced Thursday new, enhanced security at orthodox synagogues and institutions in South Florida.
"There seems to be a desire for it and a need for it, for some concrete measures for some practical solutions," said Hava Holzhauer of the Anti-Defamation League. "So that is where we are putting our hands and putting our assistance."
The orthodox patrol their community in addition to the local police. The orthodox patrol uses personal cars and keeps people updated through a website. Organizer Yona Lunger is also teaching people about guns.
"We want to make sure they know how to use it," said Lunger. "So we are offering free training for several individuals on how to maneuver. We are asking them to be more vigilant, not be vigilantes."
The new security measures come less than a week after Rabbi Joseph Raksin was shot and killed while walking to his North Miami Beach temple. Police say Raksin was approached by two men, who shot him after an altercation.
"The murder of a rabbi walking to Schul is a jolt in America, in South Florida, where we live so freely, where we have our religious freedom," said Holzhauer.
Some in the community believe it was a hate crime. Police said they are investigating all possible leads in the case.
"We need the community, we need them to call us, we need them to be our eyes and our ears," Miami-Dade Police spokeswoman Delma Noel-Pratt said, after a closed-door meeting with the community Wednesday night. "Working together, that's the only way that we're going to be able to get things like this solved."
"If you know who did that, we will reward you," said Lunger. "You will have 50,000 reasons to come forward."
If you have any information about the murder of Rabbi Raksin, call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS (8477).

Online broker E-Trade Financial Corp. on Wednesday reported a deeper second-quarter loss as loan defaults and investments continued to pressure profit.
The company has been hampered by its mortgage-lending business. Net charge-offs in the quarter were $386.4 million, an increase from the $249.1 million a year ago.
The New York-based company had a loss of $143.2 million, or 22 cents per share, compared with a loss of $94.6 million, or 19 cents a share, a year ago.
Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expected a loss of 31 cents.
Total net revenue rose to $620.9 million from $532.3 million a year ago.
Expenses increased to $329 million as a result of a $29 million increase in Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. fees and $10 million increase in reserves for legal matters.
The provision for loan losses increased to $404.5 million from $319 million a year ago.
The online brokerage business saw higher volumes and increased commission per trade rates, CEO Donald Layton said in a statement.
The company added 54,000 net new brokerage accounts in the quarter, he said.
At quarter end, the company had 4.5 million customer accounts, which included 2.7 million brokerage accounts, both records.
The loan portfolio shows improving delinquency trends, Layton said.
"Later this year we expect the quarterly provision to drop below the amount of quarterly charge-offs, which we believe have peaked this quarter," he said.
Net interest income, or earnings from interest accounts like loans and deposits, rose to $339.6 million from $278.7 million a year ago.
Non interest income, or cash made from mortgage loan service fees and other fees and charges, was $281.3 million, up from $218.7 million the year before.
Shares rose 5 cents, to $1.41, in after market trading, when the report was released. They had risen 7 cents, or 5.4 percent, to $1.36 in regular trading Wednesday.
Efforts to reduce debt and improve capital continued in the quarter.
In June, the company raised more than $600 million of common equity, which is being used to inject capital into its bank and improve parent company liquidity.
E-Trade injected $500 million in equity into the bank during the second quarter.
In addition, it expects to exchange approximately $1.7 billion of notes for non-interest bearing convertible debentures due 2019. Upon completion, this exchange will reduce the run rate of the company's annual interest expense by over $200 million, to approximately $170 million a year.
A special shareholders meeting will be held Aug. 19 to seek approval for the exchange.
For six months, E-Trade reported a loss of $375.9 million, or 61 cents per share compared with a loss of $185.8 million, or 39 cents per share a year earlier.

His last day in Toronto is March 25, while Rick Cornacchia, general manager of operations for the TTC, is already gone, although it's not clear why. Someone in his former office said he had retired. Brad Ross, spokesman for the Toronto Transit Commission, declined to provide more information because "it's a personnel matter."
City Manager Joseph Pennachetti announced to staff earlier this week that Sue Corke, another deputy city manager, will be departing March 11.
"Renewal is a part of any successful organization," said Councillor Denzil Minnan Wong, a member of Mayor Rob Ford's executive.
Mr. Butts, who orchestrated the purchase of the Green Lane landfill, said he decided to seize a "fortuitous" opportunity in the Maritimes, even if his decision to leave Toronto "weighs on my mind." At 52, he said he is at the right point in his career to try something new. He said his departure has nothing to do with the new mayor. "I worked with Mayor Ford very well when he was a councillor," said Mr. Butts. "Unfortunately you don't get to pick when opportunities present themselves, this one came in the fall last year," he said.
