Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers: Two Solid Hours of Incredible
The Palm Beach Post — July 16, 2008
"What's the loudest noise you can make, baby?"
The "baby" in question was the collective throng of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers fans Tuesday night at Sunrise's BankAtlantic Center, pumped up from two hours of solid sing-along rock and roll. The person asking was Petty himself, his long thin face breaking into a teasing smile as the crowd, knowing that that the next thing they were about to hear were the distinctively jangly opening chords of "American Girl."
And while it's hard to recreate that loudest sound in words, it was something like the audible combination of anticipation, joy and appreciation. And rest assured…it was very, very loud.
Last night's show, the first that the Gainesville-bred Rock and Roll Hall of Famers have done in their native state on this tour, was actually two shows in one. The first was a sprawling '70s blues jam courtesy of Steve Winwood and his remarkably unchanged, elastic soul pipes. Winwood would figure prominently in some of the best moments of the Heartbreaker's set as well, and while the two were markedly different – one psychedelically breezy with a Latin blues kick and the other straight-ahead rock and roll, their common denominator was their shared genesis in American roots music.
And the results? It was all demonstrated in that loud, righteous sound.
Petty's strength as a performer, and as a songwriter, seems to be his earnestness. You know he means what he's saying, whether he's singing about the effects of a powerful woman (set opener "You Wreck Me"), about wearily accepting responsibility for breaking an innocent heart (the always emotionally galvanizing "Free Fallin'") or just wanting an unpleasant woman out of your face ("Don't Come Around Here No More," which was delivered stripped down and erupted into an insistent jam.)
You might not always like what Petty has to say, particularly if you're the chick he's telling not to come around anymore. But at least you know he means it.
Early in the show, Petty had the techs bring up the house lights over the audience.
"That's a good-looking crowd!" he said, in that distinctive, reedy drawl. "That's a Florida crowd!"
The Heartbreakers have fans everywhere, obviously, but there's no denying the affection for them in their home state. When Petty introduced the band, guitarist Mike Campbell and keyboard player Benmont Tench got the loudest applause, maybe because they're original members and maybe because their introductions were proceeded with "and from Gainesville!"
The band works like a well-oiled machine, with even the newer members forming a tight, impenetrable force that delivered some of the Heartbreakers' signature moments. Drummer Steve Ferrone, for instance, provided the brisk snare drum backdrop to the final verse of "Free Fallin'," where the narrator prepares to abandon his love, regretting every step away from her but knowing he can't stay. That drum line always gave me chills, and when the tall Ferrone leaned over to play it, it sounded even more to me like "Taps," like the beginning of mourning.
That's good stuff.
Also good was the aforementioned opening set by Winwood, which would have been a disappointment to casual fans only familiar with his 1980s' comeback "Back In The Highlife." But if you were in the mood for thoughtful, long jazz passages that melded Santana-like Latin rhythms into a couple of his biggest hits (a stripped down, mellowed-out "Higher Love" and a funkier, punchier "I'm A Man"). And they set the stage for Traffic's "Dear Mr. Fantasy," a big, gorgeous trip into psychedelic swirliness.
Later, Winwood returned to the stage to play "Gimme Some Lovin'" and "Can't Find My Way Home" with the Heartbreakers, probably making a lot of fans very happy that he didn't just stick to the swirly stuff, and making the usher in our section burst into a happy dance, swinging a couple of ladies on their way to the bathroom around and beaming. When his time on stage was over, Winwood hugged each of the Heartbreakers and seemed reluctant to leave just when the groove was getting good.
And even though the evening was a collective four hours of solid music, and it was time to let the Heartbreakers go sit down after putting in such an impressive effort, when it was over I kind of knew how Steve felt.

For the entire week I listened to one unrepentant sinner after the next pervert the Gospel of Jesus Christ to fit a Socialist, Marxist, Omni-Religious, anti-Christian narrative. Transvestites, homosexuals, pedophiles, rapists, murderers, thieves, criminals and the "ministers" that defend their "right" to be such, had pushed me over the edge—I could take no more!
Will the Trump Campaign ever bring the wrecking ball that we all saw in the primary to bear on the greatest enemy our Republic has ever seen?

The Constitution can't force godless citizens to adhere to it. Godless citizens must constrain themselves to adhere to the Constitution.
While the cries for inclusion and acceptance come from the POTUS' bully pulpit and peacemakers are gunned down in the streets, tens of millions of Americans hunt for imaginary turtle/lizard/birds with magic powers on the very same thoroughfares, simultaneously.
Take heart friends, for God has not given us the spirit of fear. The heathen will rage, they always have. Murderous maniacs are being created in our society; radicalized in no small part by the rhetoric of our elected officials.
FBI Director James Comey formally announced on July 5th, 2016 that the FBI would not recommend that the Presumptive Democratic Nominee for President Hillary Rodham Clinton be indicted regarding her unsecured personal email server.
One could conversely surmise that where the Spirit of the Lord is not, there is no freedom.
Where is the Spirit of God in America?
Evangelical leaders who even mentioned the possibility have summarily been raked over the coals, publicly, for daring to suggest that Trump's conversion could be real.
The goal of the modern-day false scribe is "click-bait."and deception. It doesn't really matter what you say, as long as it fits the over-arching political bent of the website for which you write.
Life is a journey. The wisdom imparted to me by my three Dads, either directly or indirectly, has shaped who I am today in undeniable ways.
Donald Trump is right in suggesting publicly that Barack Obama "had something to do" with the Orlando Terrorist attack
Hillary Clinton can now claim many historic titles. First Lady, Secretary of State, First Female Presumptive Presidential Nominee and the first nominee to have their fingerprints of file with the FBI.
Spiritually, Hillary might carry another set of much more ominous monikers.
One day, even the Name by which The Remnantist is called, Jesus Christ-The King of Kings, will be forbidden to be uttered, but that day is not yet.
With the rise of the "Christian" Democrat I have felt a fervency rising in me, a righteous indignation at the heresy conveyed as truth in regards to who Jesus Christ was and how he would have reacted to sin in a modern age.
Wars and rumors of wars loom ever-presently on the horizon. Infanticide, perversion, and the incorporation of false religions into the fabric of America's Biblically based morality are a constant weight upon the soul of the vigilant Christian Patriot.

I enjoyed everything about this hotel. The staff were friendly and courteous, checking in and out was a breeze, the rooms were clean with all of the amenities I required, and the breakfast had many options. The rooms and the decor look modern and well-kept although I think the building might be older and renovated.
The bathroom had a nice big shower head with great water pressure. The tv had the big movie channels, such as HBO. My only concern was that the pillows were a bit lumpy but this did not affect how I slept. The pillowcases had nice labels embroidered on the edge to indicate which were "soft" or "firm", but they all had the same consistency. At least they weren't down pillows; I really don't enjoy down pillows. I am sure that if I had asked the staff, I could have gotten replacement pillows, but it didn't bother me enough to say anything. Otherwise the rooms were spacious and comfortable.
This hotel was easy to get to from I-81 and there was plenty of parking. I felt safe in the area going to and from my car at night. Once in my room on the second floor, I could hear some of the traffic on I-81, but it didn't disturb me even though I am a light sleeper.
I only stayed one night as a stop over while driving a long distance. This hotel was just what I needed. I would definitely stay there again.

Ex-Lanka prez Rajapakse defends son over rugby player's murder
Colombo: Sri Lanka's former president Mahinda Rajapakse yesterday denied his son was involved in the controversial death of a national rugby player as a magistrate ordered a fresh investigation.
Mahinda Rajapakse
Police said the body of rugby star Wasim Thajudeen will be exhumed today for forensic tests after allegations that authorities covered up the investigation during Rajapakse's regime.
Local media have reported that Thajudeen was killed over a love triangle that involved Rajapakse's second son Yoshitha, although police recorded the death as a road accident.
"I welcome the investigation because that will help us to clear our name," said former president Rajapakse, who is accused of helping to cover up the murder. "But the timing of the investigation suggests that the government is trying to make political capital out of it."
Rajapakse, who is standing for parliament this month after losing the presidency in January, is under investigation over allegations he syphoned off billions of dollars from the state during his nine-year rule.

II Strategic Plan of the Third Sector of Social Action.
In 2006, the First Strategic Plan of the Third Sector was approved. It was developed by the NGO Platform of Social Action with the support of the NGO National Council of Social Action. The document articulated the necessary measures for the development and boost of our sector according with the demands of society.
In november 2012, the NGO State Council of Social Action approved the Second Strategic Plan, a document whose main objectives are ensuring the provision of goods and services to the most vulnerable individuals and groups of people, and strengthening Third Sector as a social actor.
Furthermore, the Platform coordinates the workgroup for the Strategic Plan of the Third Sector of the NGO National Council, attached to the General State Administration, and conceived as a space for encounter, dialogue, participation and public policy advice on social services.
Most concretly, the Platform works with its two comissions –Plan Operating Development and Communication- promoting the Plan inside the sector and implanting it in the different regions and social entities.
We employ our own means to contribute to the strengthening of the sector: the Strategic Plan of the Platform, carried out with the financial support of the Ministry for Labour and Social Affairs and the fees provided by member organisations of our entity.
Among others, we consider the Platform to be actively involved in the defining of politics, the development of its capacity for political impact and the expansion of its social basis.

Gorgeous never used vintage linen tablecloth and napkins feature Madeira hand appliqued and embroidered rose motifs with cutwork accents and Bernina embroidery. Comes with 12 napkins. It is impossible for me to get a good photo of this huge cloth as I don't have a table that large. I have taken a photo of the insert that came with the set so that you could kind of get a sense of the design. This set has never been used, thus it is in immaculate condition. The cloth was laundered once as t was a glue residue from a label and I wanted to be sure it would come out. Tablecloth and napkins are snow white. Cloth measures 154" X 64". Napkins are also large, 20" X 20". Just imagine how gorgeous your table will look with your fine china and silver!

Tagged: price, size, woocommerce
Im having lots of problems setting up new products and trying to get the Size and Price to show up on product pages so that customers know how much the item of clothing costs and also so that they can select a size. I also dont know how to set an image as the display picture for my products?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Hey adisonr,
The price issue is allready discused right here: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/woocommerce-add-to-cart
Your size issue can be solved with attributes: http://www.woothemes.com/woocommerce-docs/user-guide/product-variations/
I don't know excactly what you mean with the display picture. If you add a new product and upload some images, the first image would be your display image. Is that what you mean?
Hi can you help me please?
I get to the stage where i'm adding the sizes but there's no 'select all' but once i've pressed 'used for variations'?
I've tried writing the sizes in manually but it doesn't work.
Hi reputeclothing,
I've answered the variation question a bit in your other topic post here: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/adding-sizes-with-woocommerce
The topic 'Woocommerce Size Price and Image Problems' is closed to new replies.


text: About 90% of the time, when I'm on the phone and I get another line my conversation with first caller is instantly muted both ways. If I reject the new call then I am able to continue my conversation with the first call. If I hit accept I can talk to the second caller but since I was unable to tell the first caller that I have another line he hangs up and calls me back which now mutes my conversation again. Very aggravating! I called Sprint several times and no one had heard of this issue. They blamed the apps and suggested I do a hard reset on the phone. I also tried Google but found nothing. Anyone else experience this??

Scroll down a couple of posts if you haven't read about my river journey.
There are a few houses alongside the locks... the old rickety bridge was replaced due to heath and safety
Fire Engines and Ambulances now have safe access... in an emergency.
I have walked past this sunken vessel many times over the years but this was the first time I had the chance to see it and take images from the river.
She was built to freight salt fish from the north to the south of the country.
She capsized whilst moored at Dutton Lock in 1993 just a year shy of her centenary.
She is now under the control of British Waterways who look after our canals and rivers.
The "Chica" isn't in the way where she is... and removing her would be expensive.
She will be an attraction on the River Weaver for many years to come.

ebm-papst Brazil celebrated this year's GreenDay four times. That is, the Brazillian subsidiary planned and executed four GreenDay events on four different days. On the first of the four days, ebm-papst Brazil employees were asked to check their desks and discard all used but unneeded papers, magazines, and documents for recycling. On the second day, the subsidiary offered its staff a tour to the Sao Paolo Botanic Garden in order to learn more about the ecology as well as Brazil's flora and fauna. Of course, all employees used the Sao Paolo public transportation systems to get to the Botanic Garden.
On the third day, ebm-papst Brazil organized lectures on the GreenDay philosophy and environmental protection to inform the employees about the importance of sustainability.
On the fourth and last day, our Brazillian colleagues were encouraged to send their ideas of how to save water, energy,and to reduce the carbon footprint. The best ideas will be rewarded with a solar charger.
However, for ebm-papst Brazil environmental protection is not only an issue during GreenDay but throughout the entire year. Earlier in 2016, the subsidiary has replaced all conventional lamps with energy-efficient LEDs. Notwithstanding, there are more "programs" planned for the rest of the year, such as: maintaing the material recycling program and several lectures on GreenTech and EC-Technology.
2015-06-03 |
During the GreenDay week, ebm-papst Brazil has planned three campaigns for their staff.
On 1 June, there will be a fitness workout and a "healthy" coffee break to demonstrate how important it is for your general wellbeing to do some sports and to have a well-balanced diet.
On top of this, the ebm-papst trainees will give a presentation on the present shortage of water in Brazil. Background: The country is currently faced with the most dramatic water crisis in history. The drastic consequences of the crisis affect about 77 million people, especially those in the two metropolises Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo – which is where our subsidiary ebm-papst Brazil is located. The water shortage has many different reasons: excessive use, leaky lines, increased rainforest clearance, and climate changes such as absence of rain. Therefore, our colleagues living in the biggest country in South America want to highlight this acute problem and give tips on how to save water.
The next day, 2 June 2015, is totally dedicated to paper. Again, the trainees will demonstrate how much paper is being used in the office and how this amount may be reduced and how paper may be recycled optimally. The following day, 3 June 2015, every single member of staff is expected to put into practice what they learnt and to go clear their desks of all sheets of paper, magazines and other documents for recycling.
And the entire year is also dedicated to green topics: There will be a number of presentations and seminars on "GreenTech EC Technology".
2014-06-16 |
As part of their GreenDay campaign, our staff in Brazil invited their families to team up and take a bike tour. Cycling along the heavily contaminated Pinheiro river which cuts through São Paulo brought it home to all of them why protecting the environment is a necessary and vital task. The photos and the video clip were taken by our colleagues to share their impressions with you.
2013-06-07 | As part of our GreenDay drive, we organised free and personalised coffee mugs for all our staff – to refill time and again. Per year, this now translates into about 24,000 one-way cups which would have been thrown away. With our coffee mugs, this much waste is now simply – and nicely – avoided.
2012-10-05 | "The campaign was very important for us, because we could show that we assume responsibility and take the future of our planet seriously. We held, for example, a 'day of nature' on which all employees planted domestic trees with their families in a park.
Katia Diniz
Above all, the children were excited and were proud to leave a green fingerprint with the trees. If everyone takes care of nature with such enthusiasm, then our future is secured."

"Rick said the staff was friendly and did a good job."
Review for Roberson RV
Ardys H. on 03/21/2013
Ardys said she was not satisfied with her overall service experience because there were some problems. She said she purchased her vehicle from this business and the last two times she had warranty repair work done on it. On this last visit the bathroom was a mess and there was water on the dashboard of her motor home. She said rain water was coming in from a broken light. She left the vehicle with them and told them to call her when the work was done. When she came to pick the vehicle up there was a broken corner piece in the shower and there was something all over the table. There was greasy stuff from a bag that was broken and left open. She said they hung a bag by the mirror in the bathroom and it leaked on the floor. She went back in to the business and a person came out and cleaned up the mess. She said the representative took a piece from another motor home and put it in the shower. He told her he was going to order the piece, but she did not receive it. The awning cover needed to be replaced, but they did not order it. The representative told her he had not received the approval from the woman in the office. No one escorted her to the motor home and no one went over the things that had been done. She said they should have given her something as a consolation to let her know they were concerned about the issues she had. Her vehicle was at the business for two months, but they had not set a due date. The people were friendly, but the conversation with the service advisor was lacking. She will not recommend this business to others until things improve. They should improve their follow-ups and they should listen to their customers. She said they need to make their customers feel special and let them know they will get the work done and do it right.

Diamanti hails Nani
Alessandro Diamanti admits that his return to Brescia was out of recognition for Gianluca Nani.
Last Updated: 22/09/10 9:07pm
Former West Ham striker Alessandro Diamanti admits that his return to Brescia was out of recognition for Gianluca Nani.
The forward rejoined the Serie A newcomers for £1.8million after just one season at Upton Park.
Diamanti scored seven goals in 28 appearances under manager Gianfranco Zola, but after technical director Nani was dismissed and Zola had departed, the striker opted to move back to Italy.
"I came to Brescia out of recognition for Gianluca Nani, who was the director who brought me to West Ham," he told Gazzetta dello Sport.
"I didn't even consider the other offers, although the clubs that were looking for me included Parma and Fiorentina."
Brescia president Gino Corioni has likened Diamanti to former club hero and legendary Italian international Roberto Baggio.
The 27-year-old former Livorno hero admits his attitude was not always professional though.
"I feel very much like the Livorno folk, as they don't work much and go to the beach instead.
"When I was at Albinoleffe, I'd often go out clubbing, but now I have changed and came back to Italy in order to earn my place in the Nazionale."

If you ask Google and also look at the Learning Center they'll tell you all!!!
The basics:
* a very good title
* quality content, attributed images
* a degree of SEO
* regular crawls from the robots
You should start to go higher! It can take time. Best of luck.

Try doing keyword research beforehand with the Google Adwords Keyword Tool (https://adwords.google.com/o/Targeting/Explorer?__...
Learn how to analyze competition and what phrases garner the most attention. One of the most important things is to switch the match types on the left from "broad" to exact or "phrase". Hope it helps!

Besides what you're already being told, keep in mind you are competing against the entire world! Its very difficult to outrank the currently top ranking sites on the web today. While Google tells everyone "just create quality content", trust me, this doesnt work. I had people share my content from one of my sites 20,000 times before it started to rank well. It wasn't until I hit 350 backlinks that I even saw a decent change in ranking at all.
The answer, you need to post your content to social networks, and actually get involved with the communities on Google+, facebook, etc. You need people to share your content, then others will want to link to it from relevant content on their own sites. The links must be relevant too! If the links pointing at you are coming from spammy sites or are irrelevant for any reason they will actually count against you, keep that in mind.
Then you need a ton a content. Remember, you are effectively competing against the entire world! For this reason alone you aren't going to rank for everything, no matter how good your content is. Trust me, the competition is really tough! I have produced close to 400 pages of content over the last year, along with developing 2 websites, and I can tell you from personal experience it ain't easy getting to the top.
If you really want to make money on the internet then you will need your own website, hosted on a real domain (not example.wordpress.com or blogspot.com), original content & lots of it, and a LOT of high quality back links! Without the above criteria, you cannot make it on the web. I've been doing this for 8 years, and thats just the way it goes and the way it is.
In the end quality content alone wont get you there! I'm an SEO specialist and a web designer, I understand how search engines work, and its tough for me to rank. You need people to see your content, and has to be really good. If no one likes it then social networks will not help.

Oh, It Was "Asthma"
"Asthma" and "walking pneumonia" are now apparently code words for "drunk/high" and "chronic cigarette smoker," at least according to Lindsay Lohan's publicist.
Blohan's PR whore AKA the hardest working spin trick in the biz barfed out a bevy of bullshit excuses on why LiLo ended up in a NYC hospital on Sunday night.
TMZ is reporting Blohan was rushed to the ER because the stress from last week's hit-and-run accusation caused her so much emotional upheaval, she "exacerbated" her current bout with walking pneumonia. PEOPLE, on the other hand, claims LiLo sought treatment for an asthma.
As TMZ insinuates, the stress thing sounds like complete bullshit. If we suspend belief and actually entertain the thought Blohan was at the hospital for "asthma," it's not stress bringing that shit on. It's the constant partying and the fact that she sucks down cigarettes like the way a Kartrashian does black dick.

We are currently making arrangements for a flight to Uzbekistan
(preferably Termez) as soon as possible. This is likely to be
an Ilyushin-76 aeroplane carrying a six-person Field Support Team
consisting of vehicles, communications, office equipment and accommodation.
This will enable a team to establish a programme quickly on the
ground, whether in Uzbekistan or Afghanistan, by giving an operational
platform from which to work.

Here Is Your Peek at Season 2 of the Wicked Versailles
The gloriously raunchy Versailles returns soon to BBC Two (and, eventually, American televisions via Ovation). Here is a trailer featuring Louis XIV chiding his greedy, murderous courtiers.
The gloriously raunchy Versailles returns soon to BBC Two (and, eventually, American televisions via Ovation). Here is a trailer featuring Louis XIV chiding his greedy, murderous courtiers.
"What with Poldark on one side and Victoria on the other, maybe we chaps just aren't needed in front of the TV on Sunday nights anymore," a columnist for the Spectator recently lamented.
Having thrown British media into a not-at-all overplayed for the Internet pearl-clutching tizzy, the costume drama Versailles is creeping towards America's shores, set to air in the fall. And since it is, after all, Bastille Day, U.S. broadcaster Ovation has sent us over an exclusive clip.
This evening, the BBC is scheduled to premiere Versailles, a sexy peek into the doings as Louis XIV built the legendary palace and relocated his court to an elaborate gilded cage, consolidating his enormous power. But how sexy? Is it...TOO sexy?
All your Marie Antoinette dreams are coming true! (Please note this venue is strictly bring your own wig powder and guillotine.)
A large installation in the gardens of the Palace of Versailles in France has come under scrutiny recently, after the artist told a French newspaper that the piece, called "Dirty Corner," represents "the vagina of a queen who is taking power."
Jackie Siegel and her husband (time-share magnate David Siegel), the stars of the 2012 recessionary classic The Queen of Versailles, say they're still working on their monstrosity of a house and in fact their plans are grander than ever. Truly, happy days are here again, America!
We'd heard rumors that Kim Kardashian wouldn't do another televised wedding: This time her love is real, see, and not a spectacle. But as it turns out, Her nuptials to Kanye West will indeed be filmed for E! As if the network or the family would have it any other way.
Welcome back to Midweek Madness, your spelunking trip into the dark caves of the celebrity gossip tabloids. Every Wednesday, Callie Beusman heads to the newsstand and picks up the new issues of In Touch, Ok!, Life & Style, Star and Us, and together we navigate the stalagmites masquerading as "news." This week: Angie…
David and Jackie Siegel are an American couple who, just like the rest of us, are looking for a nice and comfortable place to raise their family and live out their days. You know how you've always dreamed of a house with a porch swing or a room with a window box? This is just like that, only what David and Jackie have…
While you might not want to take playing Marie Antoinete too far, be queen for a day: the Versailles historic site, is converting l'Hôtel du Grand Contrôle, a mansion 100 yards from the palace, into a boutique hotel.
Right now, at Versailles, as part of the "Sciences and Curiosities at the Court of Versailles" exhibit, one can view the tiny piano-playing automaton/android — with which Marie Antoinette entertained her court. She's gorgeous, talented, and gives serious side-eye.
Writers Andre and Maria Jacquemetton are working on Versailles, a period drama centering on the Court of King Louis XIV. Just imagine Don Draper invoking the divine right of kings!

Post From Dinar Updates
Chat Room Excerpts & Highlights
Bgg & MadDScout Sunday Night News Time 10-09-16
MrsBGG says():Welcome everyone to News Time!!
Welcome to anyone who New!! We're glad that you are here
Okay tonight is going to be a little different... it's always nice to change things up a bit
MadDScout is here with us!! Whoo hoo!! and Hutch is here with us!! Whoo hoo!!
hutch says():it made sense to me
MrsBGG says():Great to have you here!!
wilson6060 says():Group Hug...TYVM
MrsBGG says to magnetlady(): Thank you for copying for us tonight !!
BGG says():Ok - here we go... this past week - there has been some angst over the title of the DInar Updates Tuesday Call (upcoming)... it wasn't innuendo... no tease... no B.S.
BTW - Hutchster, thanks for being here appreciate all you've done to bring together and moderate that group of news reserchers... it's been really good stuff. little bit of a learning curve - but good!!
hutch says to BGG():Thanks for the place and all that you and the MRS do !
BGG says(): We just do what we can... and thanks to everyone here who makes this place what it is... THANK YOU!!
back to my commentary... little bit of "unease" about "The Big Question" call... here's exactly what happened...
last week - after we shut the recording off and put the call on hold - we stayed and talked for a while...
IT WAS INCREDIBLE... Hutch asked everyone "What is The BIG Question - really..."? Everyone went around the table and talked a bit...
BGG says():Once we had gotten thru - he was like "wow - I wish we had tapped the 'after, after, The After Call..' "...
hutch says to BGG():It was great !
BGG says():It was!! and it was out of that desire to include everyone - the title for the next call came out...
I said "that right there - should be the name of your next call - and maybe all of them after this.
I said that... so before anyone CASTIGATES Hutch - or anyone else for being "overly selatious" - this is exactly how it played out...
and it wasn't about "date or rate"... which - BTW, it shouldn't be against the law to discuss "Date or Rate" as long as it's done in a responsible and ADULT FASHION.
Nor was anyone alluding to - or providing "innuendo" toward such an end... I think I've proven I don't do things for ratings or gainful motives. Having bounced the high profile characters I have should prove that...
tune in or don't - your choice...no hook needed... but if it goes anything like it did the other nite... well... we just set there and were wishing you could have been there too.
That...Ladies and Gentlemen...was the backstory to the "what is The Big Question Call"...as it happened...
no one was trying to get shady with the marketing... in fact, as soon as I heard them finihs up (on the private side)... it was my idea...
I said... "that should be the title to your next call, same format - and maybe any other calls you have afterwards..." my EXACT words.
Hutch - comments??
hutch says to BGG():Thats exactly how it went. It was an amazing talk afterwards! I do wish that we would have recorded it !
BGG says(): And that folks...was the Genesis for the title... simple, really... and nothing HINKY to it...
which - I get (in this community) why everyone can get a little nervy when the subject, or implied subject, is raised... especially given the reputation of some of our more notorious gabbers...
Elane says():First of all thanks so much BGG for the explanation... its very much appreciated...and it Does help to know ....the backstory... on the face of it it did seem sensational.
Im pleased very pleased to know what truly went on.... but without the backstory on the face of it... it seemed to hint of something totally different. I respect this place of news...
thats why I personally thought it odd... you just hit the nail on the head... "which - I get (in this community) why everyone can get a little nervy when the subject, or implied subject, is raised...
especially given the reputation of some of our more notorious gabbers... so from me personally....thanks! I was one who was not happy with it.... I get it now. The explanation meant everything to me.
BGG says to Elane():Which is why we took the time here to tell you all how that came about... nothing shady... that's exactly how it went down.
Elane says():And I will say to you publically from the rooftops. thanks... I believe you.... I just need to know like everyone else. I admire the way youve handled this.
kalis says):AMEN
BGG says to Elane():I appreciate the candid comments...
BGG says to Elane():We've laid too much real, valuable, factual info to get in a ditch now... not what anyone had in mind...
Elane says():I totally agree... stay the course.. we will all finish together
BGG says to Elane():which BTW - when interpreted accurately - does actually tell us quite a bit... we'll see what Tuesday nite brings.
david334 says():I knew when I saw it that there was no way you would change reality. So I thought maybe there are some serious structual issues with process?
MadDScout says():I just wanted to say that I read it as a question. Other than the obvious answer, the big question at this juncture may not be the same for the more observant
I didn't see someone say they were answering the question but wanting to know what it was - Just my 2 cents
BGG says():that is a VERY good point... the question a very astute observer and a casual observer will ask - their "Big Question" are likely to be VERY different. Tune in and find out...
hutch says():comment?
BGG says():and before I get booed... I would tell you if I knew - they don't tell me anything ahead of time...
they know I would tell you
MadDScout says():It is what we want to hear that causes us tunnel vision on what is said "out of hand"
MadDScout says():LOL
BGG says():(I can't even hardly get a call back most of the time
david334 says():I'll pass. Maybe I am a gaber
hutch says(): The subject will be asked for both the astute and casual
BGG says():Ok - that's a wrap.
BGG says():We're gonna' ease out early - Debate night...
BGG says to david334():All good. Thank you so much... please excuse my sharp banter...
MadDScout says to BGG():Thank you
BGG says():Hey gang - we love you all... Thanks, have a good nite...
hutch says():THANKS BGG !
BGG says():not a normal News Time - but important, none the less...
BGG says(): Have a GOOD ONE!!
kalis says():how much more and law do they need to finish before they can even go to the next step
kalis says():investment laws
MadDScout says to kalis():They are finishing up the amending of a couple and thats about it on the laws
hutch says to kalis():GO BACK TWO CALLS, IT WAS DISCUSSED.
kalis says():ok
kalis says():this is a confusing investment just one i grab it boom i get lost

Review for Bridgeville Automotive
Denis D. on 08/25/2011
"Good job!"
4-Runner is much happier with the new swaybar link. We should have addressed the brake actuator last year. Brakes feel much better now. The revs are now where they should be, set too high last year.(My fault for not bringing it in) Happy SUV, very happy customer. Thanks to you all

Though a teensy bit delayed, the day and time has finally arrived: I've made my very first Thoughts by Natalie gift guides!!! While I've been working on a few for Glitter Guide, I thought it would be nice to share some of my favorite gift finds that I picked out just with you girls in mind.
There's one for the ladies and one for the gents, which you may or may not need in the case that you decided to get your man some meggings!!! Happy shopping, friends—and don't feel bad if you buy a few of these for yourself, too :)
First, gifts for the ladies…
1. Darling Magazine ($20/issue, $80/year)
With 144 pages of rich content, Darling is an ideal gift for the ladies in our lives. Our girlfriends, sisters, cousins and moms will all appreciate reading a different kind of magazine that inspires them to live purposeful lives and discover what it really means to be a woman. She'll treasure the articles, as well as enjoy displaying it on her coffee table all winter long. Better yet, get her a magazine and mug combo with a mug that perfectly suits her personality.
2. Capri Blue Mercury Glass Jar Candle ($28)
Fill her home with the intoxicating scent of Anthropologie in a beautiful mercury glass container. She'll think of you every time she lights it!
3. Wall Mounted Stag Bottle Opener ($15)
Both functional and decorative, this bottle opener can me mounted to the wall and use its mouth to open a bottle of choice.
4. Pim + Larkin Square Stud Earrings ($16)
These mint and gold earrings are a simple, yet thoughtful gift for a classy jewelry-loving lady
5. Clustered Necklace ($30)
This show-stopping necklace works for casual and dressy occasions, making it a versatile gift for any girl who likes to feel put-together.
6. J.Crew Glitter Case for iPhone 4 ($22.50)
For the tech-lover in your life who loves to be chic, this glittery iPhone 4 case is a playful statement piece she'll love. Have a friend with an iPhone 5? I love this tortoise shell case! If I had an iPhone 5, I guarantee mine would be wrapped in that.
7. Merona Crossbody ($20)
Can a girl ever have too many bags? I don't think so. I'm a big fan of the cross-body style on this one, making it ideal for being out and about—plus, how fabulous is the red color?
8. Gap Blanket Striped Scarf ($30)
Help her stay warm the rest of the winter with a cozy blanket scarf she can wrap around her on chilly days—or chilly holiday flights.
9. Alice in Wonderland ($18)
Feed her mind and fuel her home decor with a stylishly covered Penguin Classic book that she can read this month and display on her bookshelf for years. Not into Alice in Wonderland? Mr. Boddington's Studio has also designed covers for Jane Eyre, Sense & Sensibility, Wuthering Heights, Little Women and Pride & Prejudice.
10. Kate Spade Pucker Up Lipstick ($24)
Bold lipstick is one of this year's hottest accessories, and it doesn't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. A simple gift for a fashionista in your life.
11. FACE Stockholm Nail Polish ($10)
For fingers that are decidedly fashion forward, the most covetable hues from the Swedish cosmetics brand with a devoted cult following. Not ones to sacrifice substance for style, the mother-daughter duo behind the brand developed an exclusive formula that's ultra-long lasting and free of the commonly used chemicals that strip nails dry.
12. Labrador Notecards ($10)
Your Labrador-loving friends will appreciate these adorable notecards that come with 8 cards and envelopes and are fastened with a ribbon and a charm.
13. Chaia Moccasin Slippers ($15)
Keep her feet warm with these snuggly slippers, which are cozy enough to wear around the house, and structured enough to wear outside to grab the mail or the newspaper.
14. Navy Ikat Dinnerware ($10-$14)
Perfect for a friend who has a new home, this pretty ikat dinnerware will give help her entertain in style.
15. Gap Two Tone Leather Clutch ($40)
Perfect for carrying the essentials on a night out with the girls, or even a date night with the guy in her life.
16. Kate Spade Out of the Office 13″ Laptop Sleeve ($60)
In true Kate Spade style, this neoprene laptop case is playful, lighthearted and fun. Your hard-working friend (or sister or mother) will love to keep her personal laptop in here to remind her that she's not on the clock.
17. Rifle Paper Co. Monogram Notecards ($18)
Pick your friend's first initial, or an engaged or recently married friend's new last name initial for an adorable personalized gift.
18. One Thousand Gifts ($12)
A book dedicated to developing a heart of gratitude for all of the little gifts in each day, this book is sure to lift spirits. I can say with confidence that it is my favorite book I've read all year, and certainly in my top 5 all-time favorite books.
And now, gifts for the gentleman…
1. Warby Parker Gift Card ($95)
Give a gift card and he can request to have up to five styles at a time to try on at home. The best part? Their one-for-one program ensures that your gift to him also gives another the ability to see clearly as well (for every pair purchased they donate a pair to someone in need).
2. Beardo Original Beard Hat ($40)
Help keep your man warm this season with this awesome beard beanie! It has a foldaway, detachable and adjustable beard, and is pretty ideal for snowboarding, skiing, hiking and all other winter or outdoor sports—also, it's a pretty good conversation piece and is sure to make him some new friends. Have a little man in your life? They make baby hats, too!
3. Men's Backup Battery for iPhone ($39.50)
This backup battery charges on a computer, holds the charge until needed, and goes with him everywhere. In exclusive custom-developed prints for J.Crew, it's a great gift for the tech-loving man in your life. Compatible with the iPhone 3G/4/4S.
4. Magazine Subscription ($13-$25)
Outside Magazine for the outdoorsy type, and Inc Magazine for the business-minded (or both, if your guy is a combo of the two!)
5. Jack Spade Cargo Canvas Small Dopp Kit ($65)
Made of canvas with leather trim, this toiletries bag holds his razor, comb, brush, shaving cream, moisturizer, cologne and other necessities. Comes in red and black.

There are various workout programs to suit everyone's needs. There are tons of such programs, which are extremely efficient for any body type. Workout must not be done in a rigorous manner, unless it is related to cardio.
Each and every set of workout must be performed with a combination of slow movement and maximum strength. Only then, one can see the effective results. In order to make every workout program successful, you have to keep a few points in mind. The same goes with high interval training.

Interval training deals with high intensity explodes of rapidity combined with slower revival phases in one single workout. It is the best form of losing all excess fat from your body in short span of time.
Here Are Some High Interval Training Tips
Warm Up is a Must
It is a known fact that no workout begins without warming up. Warming up includes stretching all body muscles in order to lead a continuous workout program. Stretch your legs, arms, wrists, thighs, stomach and every body part to make it elastic before the exercise.
Steady But Exigent Pace
This means that the person will have to stay at a speed which is steady. You cannot afford to keep changing the level and speed at which you perform the exercise. It has to be maintained throughout the program. Hence, try hard to stick to the speed with which you began the exercise.

Use of Flat Surface
The worst exercise is performed on an uneven surface. Even though, uneven surface is recommended, but only for outdoor and rigorous exercises. So, you will have to see that you either workout on a smooth or cemented floor, or do not workout. High interval training only demands for an even floor for the program.
Bring Down Your Hearty Rate To 100-110 bpm
It means that while you rest; ensure that your heart rate is as low as 100 to 110 bpm. The rest interval largely depends on the next set of exercise that you are going to perform. Heart rate has to be lowered in order to again get back to the meticulous rate while you workout.
Measure Your Time
Make sure that you are carrying a stop watch with you when you perform any high interval training exercise. It will help you in guiding about your performance so far. Measuring your time will also give you an estimate of the time remaining.

Resting Period Should Be Only for 35 Seconds
As soon as you sit and rest, you body tends to cool down. This should not be done in this type of workout. You cannot allow your body to rest for more than 35 seconds.
Grab all the nutrition needed
When you perform any high interval workout, you have to make your body fit and fine to bear the consequences of the exercise. Hence, ensure that the body is full of nutritional substances. Eat green leafy vegetables, drink milk, eggs should also be consumed and cut down on calorie enriched food items.

France-Based Andros Foods North America Plans $73 Million Expansion In Shenandoah County, Virginia
The company will add production and warehouse space and equipment to increase apple processing capacity for pouch products, as well as process additional fruits. The company anticipates creating 160 jobs in the Commonwealth.
"Andros Foods NA chose Virginia for several reasons," said Thierry Jean, CEO of Andros Foods North America. "The availability of fresh fruit sources in the state is an important element in Andros Foods' fruit processing operation, as well as the state's support of agricultural activities. The well-maintained infrastructure (highways and port) in close proximity makes Virginia an attractive choice for current and expanded future operations. Also, the people in the Shenandoah Valley know food processing and distribution. This makes for an excellent base for attracting associates to work at Andros Foods NA. We are very happy to be doing business in Virginia."
The Virginia Economic Development Partnership worked with Shenandoah County to secure the project for Virginia. Governor McAuliffe approved a $400,000 grant from the Governor's Opportunity Fund to assist Shenandoah County with the project. The Governor also approved a $600,000 performance-based grant from the Virginia Investment Partnership program, an incentive available to existing companies.
The company will also receive a $100,000 grant from the Governor's Agriculture and Forestry Industries Development Fund, administered by the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, as well as benefits from the Port of Virginia Economic and Infrastructure Development Zone Grant Program. Andros Foods will also be eligible to receive a Major Business Facility Job Tax Credit. Additional funding and services to support the company's employee training activities will be provided through the Virginia Jobs Investment Program.
"Since Bowman Apple Products joined Andros Foods in 2011, the facility in Shenandoah County has doubled in size," said Maurice Jones, Virginia Secretary of Commerce and Trade. "Andros continues to invest heavily in the operation, and with this expansion will increase warehouse space and production and add high-technology processing equipment. The company's success and continued growth is vital to the economy of Shenandoah County, and we celebrate Andros' strong commitment to Virginia."
"In addition to the new investment and jobs being created, Andros Foods' expansion will have a positive impact on Virginia's apple industry, which is the fourth largest in the United States," said Todd Haymore, Virginia Secretary of Agriculture and Forestry. "Andros Foods – and Bowman Apple Products before it – has demonstrated a strong commitment for sourcing Virginia-grown fruit to make world-class products. The expansion will provide new opportunities for the region's apple growers, again showing the important role that agriculture will play in building the new Virginia economy."
Governor Terry McAuliffe said, "I am thrilled to announce this significant investment in Shenandoah County creating new jobs for the region. We must help the Commonwealth's existing businesses continue to grow in order to build a new Virginia economy. Approximately four years ago, Andros Foods North America acquired Bowman Apple Products, which has thrived in Shenandoah County since 1939 due to Virginia's abundant natural resources, strategic location and strong workforce. We look forward to a continued partnership with Andros for years to come."
"This is another example of Virginia's ability to successfully compete in the global marketplace, create a significant number of jobs and grow Virginia's agricultural exports," said John Reinhart, CEO/Executive Director of the Virginia Port Authority. "We are always pleased when a Virginia-based company and port customer chooses to reinvest in its operation and does so, in part, because of the benefits it gets by using The Port of Virginia. We look forward to continuing to serve as the international trade gateway for Andros Foods North America."

Decoding 8 Common Email Expressions
Shay Cochrane
Passive-aggressive (adjective): being, marked by, or displaying behavior characterized by the expression of negative feelings, resentment, and aggression in an unassertive passive way. In other words, the very life force of work-related email tone and language.
Though communicating successfully via email does have a certain art to it (keep it short, keep it neutral), there's no denying that when frustrated, we all probably dance around what we really mean to say in order to preserve a level of peaceful civility.
Still, the ubiquity of the doublespeak is entertaining, which is why we found this article from Inc. decoding eight very common email expressions to be pretty key. Read on.
- "I'm just checking in" really means "Where is that thing you promised I'd have by now?"
- "Sorry to bother you again" really means "Why can't you do your job?"
- "Sorry if I somehow missed your email" really means "We both know you never emailed me."
- "Perhaps there was a misunderstanding" really means "You didn't listen to me."
- "If you could get to this in the next couple of days, that would be great" really means "Do this immediately if you know what's good for you."
- "I just want to make sure we are on the same page" really means "I worry you didn't understand my simple instructions and will screw this up."
- "I can't remember if I already asked you to do this" really means "I've asked you four times and you still haven't done it."
- "Let me know if you have any questions" really means "Do not bother me with your stupidity."
Do you agree with these decodings? Tell us below.

Win 7 + Older HP Desktop = NO BOOT
I have an old HP Pavillion 751 desktop with a P4 2Ghz. I put a new AGP vid card in and loaded Windows 7 32bit. The OS loaded fine, but the system will not boot at all. It's just a reboot loop. I cannot get Windows 7 to even display on the screen for half second to press F8. I tried doing a startup repair also, but it will not boot. I then tried to load Vista...same exact result. I had XP running fine on here. The HD and RAM are good, no issues there. What is the reason this system will not run with either Vista or 7, even with a brand new 'aero' compatible video card?

Did the installer repair console find an OS to repair? What did startup repair report in its log? You need to run it repeatedly if there are multiple issues, and it rarely works when it is offered up first thing.
I would also try unplugging the new video card and use onboard graphics to see if it will startup. You might also try loading the new ATI driver when the installer prompts for drivers at Custom install screen. You should be booting from the installer.
When you say you "loaded" Win7 and Vista, are you saying they completed all install steps, or just loaded the files and then failed. At what point during the install does each fail, and what evidence is provided at this failure?

Unplug all your external and internal devices except the graphics card and see if it boots into Windows
If not, remove the lan, wlan connection and boot into Safe Mode (F8)
Go to Device Manager, Display adapter and opt to update the driver, browse for the driver in my computer, let me pick and choose standard vga graphics adapter. Reboot the system
Once at the desktop, go to Control Panel Windows Update and configure Windows Update to download updates but let you choose what to install. Plug in the LAN/WLAN/ connect to the internet (or via modem)
Scan for driver updates on Windows Update and install everything but the graphics driver.
Once everything installs, reboot and continue running Windows Update until it says your system is up to date
Run the Windows 7 Upgrade advisor to see if your graphics card is supported.
a. If not, get a new or used graphics card or just use it as is.
b. If it is supported, install the driver from Windows Update

If the QS is a grind, then the CT is a back-crook down a 20-stair hand rail.
Meaning that it's excessively difficult, but feels damn good when you stick that shit/win heats. But you know what keeps the surfers/skaters rolling through the rough times? The genuine support of their friends (& family) who watch loyally from the water's edge/nearby grassy knoll through every failed attempt. And failures aren't met with sadness, they're met with doubled enthusiasm. "F**k yeah, Johnny! Next time, guaranteed!"
And that is the role of one's squad. To keep the surfer/skater happy, positive, and loved. CT surfers go through a range of emotion throughout the year, and without the constant support of the friend and family that accompany them to each event, they'd surely have monthly panic attacks.

Have you seen World Prehistory and Archaeology: Pathways through Time yet?
World Prehistory and Archaeology: Pathways through Time integrates world prehistory with a discussion of archaeological methods and techniques--emphasizing the relevance of how we know what we know about our human prehistory. It provides the tools to allow for a lifelong engagement with archaeology, and draws students into the process of archaeological research and discovery.
The author, Michael Chazan, brings students to the cutting edge of archaeological research by presenting the most recent discoveries and theoretical perspectives. For how we know the past is inseparable from what we know of the past. His text allows students to see that archaeology is a dynamic field in which knowledge is continually refined through scientific inquiry--while providing a sense of the relevance of archaeology in the contemporary world.
The cornerstone of this book presents an integrated picture of prehistory as an active process of discovery--where methodological issues are not relegated to the opening chapters alone. While the introduction to archaeological methods in the first two chapters is necessary, the questions of how we know the past are not abandoned at that point. In fact, a number of key features--found within every chapter--have been especially developed for this text in order to draw together an integrated presentation of prehistory for students.
So what are you waiting for? Contact your local publisher's representative today for YOUR review copy and see how World Prehistory and Archaeology will be able to draw YOUR students into the amazing world of archaeological reserach and discovery!

Washington Post Staff Writer

JoGayle Howard, a National Zoo scientist known as the "Sperm Queen" for her skill and ingenuity in helping clouded leopards, giant pandas and other endangered species with the delicate task of breeding in captivity, died March 5 at the Washington Home and Community Hospices in the District.
She was 59 and had malignant melanoma.
Dr. Howard came to the zoo as a paid intern in 1980 - back when the reproduction of captive animals, she said in a 2010 interview posted online, was more art and luck than science.
"The breeding programs would put a male and female together; if they didn't breed, they would try another male," she said. "I was shocked at how little information we had, and how little help we could give."
During the next three decades at the zoo and the Smithsonian's Center for Species Survival, she became a leader among scientists working to improve animals' reproductive chances by understanding their basic biology.
A veterinarian by training, she also used her clinical skills to pioneer the use of common human-infertility treatments - such as artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization - on animals.
"She was really the first woman scientist to have a goal of taking technologies developed for overcoming human infertility and applying them to species recovery on a large scale," said David Wildt, who heads the Center for Species Survival. She "put babies on the ground."
Early in her career, Dr. Howard was among a team of scientists who successfully adapted artificial insemination for use on cheetahs. Later, she again adapted insemination techniques for the black-footed ferret, once the most endangered species on the continent.
A native of North America's western prairie, the black-footed ferret was declared extinct in the 1970s. Several years later, scientists managed to locate and capture 18 ferrets in Wyoming. Little was known about the species, and Dr. Howard began shuttling between Washington and Wyoming to study them.
She devised an insemination method that allowed her to produce more than 150 ferret babies, or kits, at the Smithsonian's Conservation Biology Institute campus in Front Royal.
She also played a key role in figuring out how to freeze sperm and thaw it for viable use years later - in at least one case, 20 years later. Since the 1980s, more than 6,500 black-footed ferrets have been born, and many have been released into the wild.
"It's nice to have a few success stories in conservation," she told The Washington Post in 2000. "And this is definitely one of them."
More recently, Dr. Howard had turned her attention to the clouded leopard, a large cat native to the jungles of Southeast Asia. The leopard has particular trouble breeding in captivity because adult males have a tendency to attack their female counterparts before they can mate.
Dr. Howard's solution was to raise males and females together as playmates, so they grow comfortable with one another.
In 2009, that approach helped the zoo and its Front Royal research center produce their first litter of clouded leopards in 16 years. Since then, three more cubs have been born to the same parents.
Working with colleagues in Thailand, Dr. Howard helped improve leopard reproduction by altering their diet and enlarging their enclosures, which led to less stress and more cubs.
Perhaps Dr. Howard's most famous achievement - among Washingtonians, at least - was the 2005 birth of the giant panda Tai Shan. A star attraction at the zoo until his departure for China in 2010, Tai Shan was the product of a long-shot artificial insemination conducted by the steady-handed Dr. Howard.
That successful procedure was the result of years of work by Dr. Howard and her colleagues to untangle the mysteries of reproduction by giant pandas, who are famously fickle about breeding in captivity.
Dr. Howard and her team, as well as colleagues from China, perfected the science of freezing panda sperm. They also figured out how to monitor the hormones of females to identify their short window of fertility, pinpointing the best moment for insemination.
Largely because of such advances, said Wildt, the population of giant pandas living in captivity has exploded, increasing by more than twofold over the past 12 years.
JoGayle Howard was born in Dallas on May 20, 1951. She was a veterinary science graduate of Texas A&M University, where in 1980 she also received a degree in veterinary medicine.
She received a doctorate in reproductive physiology from the University of Maryland in 1989.
Dr. Howard trained and mentored hundreds of students and postdoctoral fellows from the United States and abroad. She wrote more than 100 peer-reviewed research articles and received many professional recognitions, including a Recovery Champion award from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for her work with black-footed ferrets.
"Nature's Matchmaker," an hour-long television special about Dr. Howard, will debut on the Smithsonian cable channel next week.
She had no immediate family, but her survivors include the ferrets, pandas, cheetahs and clouded leopards she helped bring into the world.
"I'm not an emotional person," she once told a reporter. "But it's pretty cool when you realize you're putting these animals back where they should be."
