Contents: USP / Kosher Propylene Glycol, USP / Kosher Glycerin, Natural and / or Artificial Flavoring(s), L-Nicotine (if ordered with nicotine).

We feel it is our responsibility to disclose these ingredients publically as a standard of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). All information is provided on an as-is basis.
The best e-liquid starts with the best ingredients and the highest level of manufacturing standards. This is why we are proud to be a certified member of the American E-Liquid Manufacturing Standards Association. All of our USA E-juice that are marked with the AEMSA logo are fully compliant with the manufacturing standards found at www.AEMSA.org and are readily available for public viewing. We encourage you to view the AEMSA Standards to see the type of quality control and good manufacturing practices that go into the products that we offer.

The Story Behind Our E-Liquid
We manufacture a very specialized line of USA E-Liquid that has been custom formulated to work flawlessly with your personal vaporizer. We source all of our ingredients from within the USA and pay very close attention to even the smallest details when choosing them. We care about our customers to the fullest extent and refuse to sell our customers any product that we wouldn't use ourselves. Our usa e-liquid is mixed with the highest level of accuracy using ASTM or NIST traceable measurement equipment to ensure both quality and consistency with our e-juices.
Texas Select Vapor is also a certified member of the American E-Liquid Manufacturing Standards Association (AEMSA). Being a certified member of this association means more than just having a seal, it means a commitment to our customers and consumers nationwide. By following AEMSA standards, our manufacturing process follows strict guidelines for e-liquid manufacturing and focuses on many practices consistent with cGMP.
We feel that choosing USA e-liquid from the numerous vendors that are online can be a tricky process to say the least. The majority of our USA E-Liquid flavors are mixed in a base of 70% Propylene Glycol (USP) and 30% Glycerin (USP) to provide the best of both worlds in e-liquid wicking and vapor production. We also offer the ability to customize your e-liquid with us. If you feel that you have tried a flavor in the past that wasn't quite strong enough, no problem, you can add a flavor boost to help the flavor better come through and appeal more to your taste buds. E-Liquid or E-Juice flavors can be quite subjective and while we cannot guarantee that you will absolutely love a flavor the first time you try it, we can promise you that the highest level of accuracy and thought has been put into each and every e-liquid flavor that we offer.×

I'm a Vietnamese, I never see my mom or sisters or any Vietnamese restaurants cook this dish Vietnamese chicken noodle salad. The Vietnamese do not have and do not eat spaghetti pasta in any receipt; we always eat with rice noodle or rice. Is this receipt new, it does look good.
03/16/2010 - 15:26
this is a real vietnamese dish, it is at every authentic vietnamese restaurant i've ever been to.. it is usually paired with rice sticks, i think they just mentioned spaghetti as an alternative to rice sticks (which can be hard to find).

As the late great Samuel Johnson sagely observed, 'When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life.' When author Tom Jones found himself doing the same things week in, week out while living in England's treasured capital, he decided to heed Johnson's words and seek out a thing to do each day in London to make him fall back in love with the city. Here, in Tired of London, Tired of Life, Tom shares the fun, diverting and imaginative things that you can do to keep yourself amused in London. With seasonally appropriate suggestions for each day of the year, you can explore East London by canoe, search for Fagin's lair in Clerkenwell, play petanque in Southwark, seek out Aphrodite in the British Museum on Valentine's Day and enjoy a host of unusual ways to enjoy the capital. So grab your A-Z and start discovering a whole other side to this majestic city.
Tom Jones is a writer and researcher who lives in South East London. He is happiest when discovering new things to do and believes it is important to make the most of where you live. Born in the South Cotswolds, before creating Tired of London, Tired of Life, he worked as a researcher at the House of Commons, as a white van man and in the Armed Forces Medal Office.

Or is there any way to cast a generic object(that originally was a 2Darray) to a 2d Array without knowing its size?
I have a program where the user enter data and that data is submitted into a 2D array that varies in size depending on how much the user entered. I saved the array as an object to file using what I learned from this tutorial.
([to save] open file, open object stream, write objects, close) ([to restore] Open a file. Open an object stream from the file. Read objects to stream. Cast objects, Close the stream and file.)
However, since I can't know how large the 2d array will be, I can't figure out how to cast the object back into a 2dArray when it comes time to restore.

This has really helped with my greasy roots and it lasts a really long time. There is no need to buy a tub to keep it in the nice lady at the shop told me, just put it in a Tupperware box instead. I'm slowly falling in love with all things lush <3

My hair gets unbelievably oily. I can wash it then blow dry and it would look like I haven't washed it in a week! The lovely ladies at Lush steered me in this direction and I don't ever see myself switching to anything else. Just washing my hair the first time I could tell a difference. I was amazed once it was dry and I could see my clean non oily hair! Plus is smells amazing! I would recomend buying the tin to store it in to make it last longer. Also, I wash my hair twice. The first wash I use a clarifying shampoo to get out all the products in my hair then use this shampoo. I am in love!

I gave this shampoo bar by lush a 5, which is how I feel with all the lush shampoo bars from there that I have tried. I have really oily hair. When I use this shampoo bar... I actualy wake up and my hair is not greasy and I always wake up with greasy hair when I use other shampoo. Sometimes I wash my hair in the morning just because I am in the shower.. not because I need to (cause it's oily). Overall, this bar does what it sais and I think I am a complete conver to these.

Overall it's a good shampoo. I use it every day and it leaves my hair feeling really clean. It lasts a long time and smells good too. I find that when I use this shampoo, my hair straightens better than when I use some of my other shampoos. It lathers nicely and a little bit goes a long way. It seems kind of expensive, but it really does last a long time and it's worth it.

I needed something to re-balance my scalp because I was suffering from flakes, buildup and itchiness. This fits the bill. It has a very faint herbal scent; lemon/rosemary/lavender; I can barely smell it when I'm using it in the shower, and it doesn't linger. It's not as harsh or drying as some of the others I've tried (Seanik, Godiva, Squeaky Green), but it doesn't do anything special to improve the condition of your hair (no added shine or bounciness). A few swipes over your scalp produces good lather, which helps spread it around your hair. If you have a dry scalp/hair and you're trying to pick a shampoo bar from LUSH, I would suggest New!, Ultimate or this bar. They still leave your hair very clean, but they're gentler and don't dry it out. I also don't think the shampoo bars are that expensive when you consider how long they last (my hair is medium length and it takes me 4-5 months to use one up).
UPDATE: I've been using this for months now and it works especially great with a nice rich conditioner like Suave Professionals Shea Butter & Almond. The duo leave my hair clean but very soft and shiny; not at all frizzy or dry.

HG! Love this shampoo. Makes my hair perfectly soft and tangle-free and keeps oil at bay. So convenient for flying as well. Only takes a few swipes of this bar on my head in the shower to make delicious suds. I've been using it for a few weeks and it seems like it will last me a very long time so the price is worth it.

My scalp gets oily very quickly, so that I even can't wash my hair at night and style in the morning...it's showers every day. I've been using this solid shampoo for a couple of weeks and I really like it! I don't use it every day, but it's wonderful for a deep-clean a couple of times a week.
The scent is great, and it's easy to use. I don't find it drying either and I have curly hair that craves moisture. The only thing I don't really like is that it can be really hard to keep it from getting wet/goopy, even with a tin. But it can still be used even if it's not in perfect condition. I will definitely keep buying this!

This solid shampoo worked really well for me!! For awhile I've been struggling with what seems to be sebborheic dermatitus. Which, if you don't know, is basically oily dandruff. Yeah. Ew. All the dandruff shampoos I've tried seem to cause buildup and oiliness, and most volumizing shampoos just didn't do the trick. So I thought I I'd try this solid shampoo. I had never even heard of solid shampoo before, so the idea seemed very strange, but it actually lathers up just like a liquid shampoo! It's great for cleaning the hair without leaving that gross waxy feeling behind. The only thing I'm not crazy about is that it does melt, and when that happens you just kinda have to scoop a little bit in your hand.

i used it for my oily hair problem
i can not say that it gave me extra days without washing my hair may be if i do not play a lot with my hair or may be i updo my hair it could have..
the soap is quite difficult to use, you need to place it out of the shower to protect it against getting wet may be a small jar or a tin case can help (lush sells tin case, too)..
you rub the soap for 3 seconds on your hair and it bubbles up and cleans
no flake problem or no tangling hair after washing, it does not dry ends, too.

I have a scenario where I need to decrypt the data and stream the data to Adobe pdf viewer to view the pdf. But Adobe pdf viewer is expecting a file uri to be sent in the intentData. I have a restriction of not storing the data on the device in unencrypted format. Any possible solution/alternative to achieve this?
You would first need to find a PDF viewer that natively supports whatever network protocol you are using to "stream the data". For example, if you "stream the data" in the form of an HTTP URL, you would need to find a PDF viewer that handles
Then, you will need to license the source code for that PDF viewer, so you can inspect it and confirm that the viewer itself does not store "the data on the device in unencrypted format". I imagine that most PDF viewers supporting HTTP would cache to disk, particularly in cases where there may not be enough RAM to do otherwise. For a commercial PDF viewer, a source code license is likely to be very expensive, or simply unavailable at any price.
One approach, therefore, is to find some open source PDF viewer, so you can augment it to download the data directly and not cache it, bearing in mind that this will limit you to fairly small PDF files. Whether you can find such a viewer, and whether the viewer's rendering quality will meet your needs, and whether the open source license it is under will meet your needs, is uncertain.

Five quick takes: Rest for 'Big Three' bigger than any streak
Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili all presumably were safely tucked away in their homes back in San Antonio Monday night, watching the action of their team on their big-screen televisions.

Kitchen Favorites: The Majestic's Shannon Overmiller
The Maryland-born chef loves all things pork fat and 4 AM Chinese.
Overmiller has worked her way up the local food chain. She started as a bartender at the Austin Grill, then became a line cook at Café Atlantico. After graduating from L'Academie de Cuisine, she took a job as sous chef at Ristorante Tosca in Penn Quarter, then made the jump to Restaurant Eve. And now that Overmiller has taken over the Majestic, she's proving herself to be one of the city's women in chef's whites to watch.
Though the Majestic has been busy with dinner reservations since its grand re-opening, Overmiller took time away from preparing succotash from scratch to chat with Kitchen Favorites.
Favorite form of pork: I truly enjoy the fat, the actual fat, of pork. Say on a pork loin, the fat around the edges…deep fried fat, or braised pork shoulder, the fat that coats it all and makes it yummy. Strange but true.
Mayo or Mustard?: Definite favorite condiment of all time is mayonnaise, hands down. Used to hate it as a child, and loved mustard, then switched one day—go figure.
Favorite edible crustacean:
Blue crabs. I grew up catching them in the Chesapeake, and love everything about them. Crabs represent everything summer is about to us "Chicken Neckers" (People from the Eastern shore who catch crabs with chicken necks on a string or in a trap. My pastry chef Rebecca Willis informed me of this little pun).
Arugula or romaine?: Personally, I prefer the peppery taste of a good arugula from a good local farmer, say Davoncrest farms. Though romaine has its definite purpose. You can't have a great Caesar with arugula. On the other hand, romaine doesn't have the natural bite arugula does to balance a light lemon and olive oil vinaigrette with some nice hard cheese shavings.
Favorite olive variety: I enjoy the mild buttery taste and firm texture of Ceringola olives. But a childhood favorite are the large pimiento-stuffed Spanish green olives. I love the salt, and sucking the pimento out. We always had them at Christmas At Grandma Overmiller's.
French Fries or Potato Chips?: Definitely french fries, so I can dip em' in MAYO!
Favorite greasy diner food: Breakfast at 2 AM: runny eggs, bacon, and toast, although I usually throw in a piece of scrapple, or some fried potatoes. Ketchup.
Giada or Rachael?: Definitely not Rachael. Giada I suppose, although of all the ladies I truly prefer Nigella. She is just not fake. She cooks because she likes to, and she cooks what she likes to eat and feed others. It's not about the hype.
Best sugar-high cereal: I never really had much high-sugar cereal as a child, so I actually never acquired a great taste for it. About as sweet as I enjoy are Honey Nut Cheerios, or Honey Bunches of Oats. And you can't beat rice Chex with a teaspoon of sugar, one sliced banana, and ice-cold whole milk.
Favorite take out-leftovers to find in the fridge: Cold Chinese out of the carton with your fingers at a 4 AM sleepy daze craving.

Fans' favourite Powell, who took charge at The Valley in January 2011, had yet to sign a new contract since the club was taken over by Belgian businessman Roland Duchatelet.
The Addicks dropped to the foot of the Championship at the weekend while they were on FA Cup duty, losing their quarter-final 2-0 at Sheffield United.
Powell made over 750 appearances during his playing career, which included three spells at Charlton and five England caps.
During the summer of 2011 Powell made 19 new signings for the Addicks, reshaping his squad and guiding them to the League 1 title.
The 2012/13 season saw Charlton finish strongly to claim ninth place but the lack of funding in the squad hindered their hopes to progress this year.
In the January transfer window, the Addicks sold Yann Kermorgant to Bournemouth and signed players from Standard Liege - a club also owned by Duchatelet - in the form of keeper Yohann Thuram-Ulien, Anil Koc and Astrit Ajdarevic.
Charlton are due to host Huddersfield at The Valley on Wednesday night before visiting Millwall on Saturday. They have recorded just one win in their last eight Championship matches, against promotion-chasing QPR at The Valley last month.

Incoming update on "Chez Schilling"
I'm raising chickens. Yep, that's no typo, it's for real, I'm a farmer… Well not a farmer but I have chickens. I am going to blog about it, and some life stuff I think. Will get the 'story' started here this week.
Quite possibly the most epic win in internet history.
My 15 year old son is on the spectrum of autism.
Can we just change that word from Autism to world changing brilliance?
I am unsure of any way I could be more proud of any of my kids, ever.
He just put this on his FB page…
I explored every social media site I possibly could to see if anyone could have any possible portrayal of what happened to my sister ( Gabriella Schilling ) that made her or my father ( Curt Schilling ) like the bad guy. Oh god how wrong i was, i wanted to see if anyone had the audacity to defend these trolls but no, for every single post about what happened with my father about stupid religious rants or his apparent "whining" ? About the hall of fame, there were so many posts that spoke about how he acted as though a father should.
If I ever saw a post that tried to defend them it was shut down almost IMMEDIATELY by those who clearly had more information and research about the topic rather than the air-headed kid acting like some higher authority and saying how wrong my father reacted. Never really have i seen so MANY people agree with my father and no matter who it was, White, Black, Jewish, Christian, Athiest, Yankee fan, Red Sox fan, 15 year old to 30 year old! I was so amazed with how much unity can amount when everyone realizes what really is important. Keeping family safe and sound when someone thinks they can just have their 'fun'
I say this not just as a supporter of my father but a proud son and brother of both of them.
P.S : to those dudes who think that those 'jokes' were funny, have fun without a girlfriend, job and education because the lord knows you've learned more from my father than you have at school you illiterate monkeys. Threaten my sister, brothers, mom or dad and you can be well assured that I don't just know my way around my computer but I'll find a way into your's to.
Love : The Autistic child who still knows how to act acceptably on social media and to other human beings ( Unlike yourselves ) and who dares you to come near my family with the same courage you had on twitter and say whatever you want to me because cowards have no place here, or anywhere for that matter.
Is it Twitters fault?
Hell no. For those of you saying "Just block it" or "get off twitter", stop reading now.
I would bet 100% of you are either childless fathers or single.
Here's the thing. You can do whatever you choose when someone tries to verbally or physically attack one of your children. Me? I don't possess the 'turn the other cheek' gene when it gets there.
I'm not upset that people are talking trash to me, or at me. Sure as a human being you'd wish no one would say mean things but hey, that's life and that's the world we live in.
Given the sheer tonnage of quotes and comments I've made I was bound to create a 'He's a tool" list that was well stocked. I don't have issue going back and forth with keyboard cowboys and tough guys because they're small small people. I'm ok with that, that's 100% on me.
I mentioned being a Republican, being a Red Sox and all that other stuff. I didn't insert politics to make a point, I did so to make sure if you read it you knew that I KNEW people hate me for one or more reasons.
If you hate me because of my political stance that's ok. If you hate me because you love the Yanks, that's cool. Those differences are the very fabric of this country. We are ALLOWED to be, think, and act different. Men and women have died for over 239 years so you and I could debate and argue politics, religion, evolution, baseball, sports, whatever, without death as a potential argument finisher.
Check out the comments. So many start with "I don't agree with your politics" or "I'm a Democrat" or something along those lines.
You don't need to caveat your opinion with your political affiliation because I don't care. I'm interested in your opinion (for most of you) for the discussion and/or argument.
You don't like me because I talk too much? I have an insane passion for what I love and what I believe. I usually don't have a Yes/No answer for anything (Just ask Karl Ravech). If that annoys you and/or makes you not like me? That's cool, I get it. If that makes you hate me, while I can't understand that even a little, that's ok, again, that's what we are allowed to do. Speak and think freely.
The boys that have gotten bad fallout from this. Do I feel bad? No. Do I sympathize? No. Whatever is their result is 100% on them. No one asked them to do it, no one forced them to do it, they made sexually aggressive and sexually explicit comments at and to my 17 year old daughter and even when given a chance (which I did in every instance) to back off and move on, they did not.
For all you tough guys out there who piss and moan with the "just turn it off" or "just block". Why on earth would I allow someone with zero honor, zero integrity and zero morals to dictate even 1 minute of my life?
I look at it like this. If someone walked into your house and punched your daughter square in the face, what would your reaction be? You and I probably are thinking the very same thing. How is that different than what happened to my amazing Daughter?
Here's how.
Those bruises on your daughters face? They'll heal over time and go away. My daughter? She was bruised and battered every bit as bad as that punch. Her scars are there forever.
For you "men" trying to somehow side with these guys? Go for it. You don't have far to go in life, in fact you may already be at your finish line.
Ladies? I don't care if you're 7 or 70. There is no time, no place, no reason in your lives ever that anyone, most especially a man, is allowed to talk to you, or treat you, this way. 99.9% of the tools that continue to rant didn't even read the article, and they most assuredly didn't click on the links.
Young women, and men, are KILLING themselves after being cyber-bullied.
You have a son, daughter, sister or brother? Niece, nephew, cousin? One that you would go to the ends of the earth for? Think about it for a second. Phone rings and that person has died, hung themselves because they were bullied. How are you doing? What's your reaction?
Let me be very clear again. I have no issues with people ragging other people. It's been a part of my life for 40 some years. Ask an athlete, soldier, fireman, policeman, locker rooms might be the most uncivil places on the planet. We say things to each other in there no one else is allowed to say to us. It's how you express your love to your teammates/co-workers/brothers in arms. I am just about 100% sure no one, and nothing, in that environment brings that outside, and for good reason.
Get on me, rag me all you want. People from Rhode Island? Until everything comes out I can't fault you one bit for saying the things you say and being angry about how that all ended. You have every right to be pissed, I am. When the full story is told I don't think you'll be any less angry, likely you'll be more, but I do believe the direction of that anger will adjust itself. It doesn't matter to you but that company was the biggest thing I've ever tried and had almost 300 people and their families that I cared deeply about. Ending the way it did could not have been farther from what and how it should have.
That's mainly on me, I can't walk away, and haven't, from that. I've lost too many times to count in life, it's what solidifies the love of winning and desire to be great. I've never failed, until 38. The only way to fail something is to quit, or have it taken away. I didn't steal 1$. In fact I never ever took even a penny from that company, ever. Ya I did lose over 50 million dollars of my own and that's on me. The state had a desire for us to move there and made an offer every single person reading this would have taken.
And please stop with the 'small government conservative who takes gov't handouts'. A bond is not a 'handout', never has been. It's also not 'stolen' . It was a state issued investment tool to raise capital to incentivize 38 Studios to move to Providence. Be as mad as you need to be about how it happened, that's totally understandable since so much remained out of sight and so much happened so oddly fast. Be as mad as you want about what you believe or perceive to be the truths. I can assure you that when this settles itself you will see and hear things A) You never thought possible and B) That will make you understand from the 1st day I never even hinted at doing anything illegal or underhanded.
I wouldn't have risked my company, the employees or their families not to mention the 50m I had invested myself.
I would tell you this. The way you treated my employees was an embarrassment and a shame. What did they do but work their asses off and revive the local business community on a daily basis (oh and btw make a game the outsold its lifetime projections in 1 year) ?
That's for another day but I wanted to make sure you know I have heard it, and always will. That one will go to my grave with me.
At the end of the day this is becoming a cesspool of cynicism that we live in. I can deal with my issues and my detractors and haters. But some people can't and women shouldn't ever have to.
I grew up in a world where women were treated with respect and dignity. When did that become out of date? Obsolete? How? Why?
You want to rag me? You want to MF me about RI, about things I said when I played, about my congressional testimony in 2001? Go for it.
But you want to say and post things attacking my family? I won't say you can't, because I cannot stop you. But I will tell you this. I can and will find you and if what you've done has harmed my children mentally/physically then it will not end well. That's not me talking trash or acting tough, that's me, and every single father on the planet explaining how this sort of stuff ends.
I promise you even the baddest and toughest, meanest and strongest man reading this sees zero honor in belittling a minor, zero. Zero honor in sexually harassing a women.
The world we live in, while it has changed, the rules honestly haven't in many cases. Twitter? It's here to stay, it's here and is part of a social network this generation has grown up with, and will live with. You can "turn it off" you can "block everyone" or say "I don't let my kids do it". That will not make it go away. It's part of their lives, and by relation, yours. Go ahead, those of you that are certain your kids don't go on. Google their names. But before you do be VERY ready to see and hear things that will stun you. It's not, to me anyway, an offense you punish them over, but it is an incredibly important discussion that needs to happen.
I can't believe it's true, but it is. Kids are KILLING THEMSELVES over cyber bullying. Regardless of the psychological reasoning or arguments, do we need any more reason than that to stand up and begin to push for an end and far far tougher laws? I don't think we do.
Anonymous is the ONLY human being, and his cohorts, on this planet that truly is anonymous. I'd have solicited his/their help but I'm praying they're the ones to finally destroy the infrastructure of the murders overseas.
We don't need the FCC, it's not Twitters, Facebook, Hulu, Youtube, Instagram, Vine or any other social networking services' fault. Human beings are at fault and there is absolutely NO reason to not hold any and every one of them accountable.
You don't need money, you don't need celebrity to out these toolboxes. Just a desire to take a bully in front of the public. Nothing a phony tough guy is more scared of than being outed I bet. Let's find out.
In the meantime God Bless, and to our Warfighters God Speed and thank you. Curt
P.S. Forgot to show you internet sleuths the latest studs..
The world we live in…Man has it changed. ADDENDUM!
I thank God every day that Facebook and Twitter, instagram, vine, Youtube, all of it, did not exist when I went to High School. I can't imagine the dumb stuff I'd have been caught saying and doing.
If you are a dad this is something you well know already, if you are a dad with a daughter this is likely to get your blood going. If you are a boy, or young man, or husband, and you haven't experienced children yet, or haven't had a daughter, it's next to impossible for you to understand.
My daughter, my one and only daughter, has worked her ass off playing sports the past 9-10 years. She's loved it, and I've loved being able to both watch, and coach along the way.
Last week we were told she'd been accepted to college and will begin playing softball there next year.
Clearly an incredibly proud day.
And of course, like any dad in the modern world I said so.
Now I've been using computers since 1981. I was a professional baseball player for 22 years. I played 10+ years in Philadelphia. I played 5 in Boston. I shared a locker room with well over a thousand teammates and I played and lived at school a year before doing so.
That's all to say I am absolutely aware of social media and how it works. As someone who's said about 2.34 billion things he shouldn't have, I get it.
With that tweet I expected a response. Some congrats for sure, but absolutely the smart ass college kid and likely many of them from RS to reply. And I was not disappointed.
After receiving the expected "I'll take care of her" and "Can't wait to date her!" and the "Looking forward to partying with her" I, like many dads, sent this one…
A little fun for sure (though I do and am proud of it btw!!).
If you're a dad you know exactly what I meant by that tweet. I was also going to mention that there is little in life I'd ever go to jail for, but my daughter is one. Another nod to that father/daughter bond….
In between a fight with Kevin Millar, congratulating Juan Pierre on a wonderful career (just hated facing him) and praying Josh Hamilton gets right, I started to see this sort of tweet.
And tweets with the word rape, bloody underwear and pretty much every other vulgar and defiling word you could likely fathom began to follow.
Now let me emphasize again. I was a jock my whole life. I played sports my whole life. Baseball since I was 5 until I retired at 41. I know clubhouses. I lived in a dorm. I get it. Guys will be guys. Guys will say dumb crap, often. But I can't ever remember, drunk, in a clubhouse, with best friends, with anyone, ever speaking like this to someone…
"The Sports Guru"? Ya he's a DJ named Adam Nagel (DJ is a bit strong since he's on the air for 1 hour a week) on Brookdale Student Radio at Brookdale Community College. How do you think that place feels about this stud representing their school? You don't think this isn't going to be a nice compilation that will show up every single time this idiot is googled the rest of his life? What happens when a potential woman he's after googles and reads this?
The other clown? He's VP of the Theta Xi fraternity at Montclair State University. I gotta believe if Theta Xi is cool with a VP of one of their chapters acting like this I'd prefer to have no one I know in it. Also, does anyone attending Montclair State University have a student handbook? If so can you pass it along because I am pretty sure there are about 90 violations in this idiots tweets.
I stopped because the rest was more of the same. And while these, to me as a dad, are just stupid and vile in ways you can't fathom, they aren't alone.
There have been personal tweets, texts and emails to more than one party in all this.
Now understand this.
I'm a Republican
I'm a former Red Sox
I have a nasty habit of talking, a lot, about anything anyone asks me and totally unconcerned about giving you my opinion. You will never question where I stand, right or wrong agree or disagree on anything.
I am completely unafraid to get into a ragging war with anyone. Win or lose I'll give as good as I get:)
I have zero issues being made fun of. It's part of living and playing sports your whole life and when you're built like I am you need to develop a defensive strategy early in life.
So I look at it like this. Democrats, Yankee fans, people that don't like the sound of my voice, that's a pretty big group.
Those folks for the most part don't like me even a little bit.
Democrats for their own reasons, Yankee fans for theirs and the rest of them hate me for who I am or what I say, and that's not going to change.
The amount of vitriol I've heard is not an issue. I am sure I'll hear more.
But I have to ask, is this even remotely ok? In ANY world? At ANY time?
Worse yet? No less than 7 of the clowns who sent vile or worse tweets are athletes playing college sports.
I knew every name and school, sport and position, of every one of them in less than an hour. The ones that didn't play sports were just as easy to locate.
I've kept every tweet like the ones above.
Now again, I was 17, 18, all of those years when stupid was the operative word. But from the day I was born thru today the only time I may have ever uttered ANYTHING remotely close to this was on the field in the middle of a bench clearing brawl.
My daughter comes to me beyond upset. She didn't do anything, she never said anything, yet she's now receiving personal messages with guys saying things to her, well let's just say I can't repeat and I'm getting beyond angry thinking about it. Her boyfriend, a wicked good hockey player who has a fighting streak I absolutely love is going out of his mind to be let off his leash but unlike the athletes tweeting this stuff he understands the potential consequences of his actions and knows the time and place will hopefully come when he can make it right on his own terms.
These boys have yet to understand one of life's most important lessons. In the real world you get held accountable for the things you say and if you are not careful that can mean some different things.
How on earth do you guys know who's on the other end? What they're thinking?
This is a generation of kids who have grown up behind the monitor and keyboard. The real world has consequences when you do and say things about others. We're at a point now where you better be sure who you're going after.
If I was a deranged protective dad I could have been face to face with any of these people in less than 4 hours. I know every one of their names, their parents, where they go to school, what they do, what team they are on, their positions, stats, all of it. I had to do almost nothing to get ANY of that information because it is all public.
What part of talking about a young woman, my daughter or not, makes you even consider the possibility that this is either funny or makes you tough?
I found it rather funny at how quickly tone changed when I heard via email from a few athletes who'd been suspended by their coaches. Gone was the tough guy tweeter, replaced by the "I'm so sorry apology used by those only sorry because they got caught.
It was EXACTLY like the Scared Straight episodes you watch where "tough" kids get brought to tears when they face the real world.
What these kids are failing to realize, what this generation fails to realize is this; Everything they've just said and done? That is out there now, forever. It can, and in some cases will, follow them for the rest of their lives.
This whole thing is interesting, but skip to page 17 for the pertinent part.
We as a society have managed to get it to this point, and it's absolutely because these idiots, at an age far past when they should know better, and have been taught better, are neither.
You want to know the scariest part? Some of their idiot friends, as I am sure some of you, are contacting me with "Dude lighten up, they're just joking" and "Why are you saying things that might ruin someone's life"?
You pieces of garbage out there who are even starting to think "what's the big deal?" or "I was just joking around" can stick it.
I want to date your daughter, I want to take your daughter to prom, I want to hit on your daughter etc., those? Those are guys being dopes and saying what guys say. This stuff? This is so far off the radar it's pathetic.
The ignorance and pathetic lack of morals or of any integrity is astounding.
These aren't thugs, tough guys or bad asses, these aren't kids who've had it rough, they aren't homeless or orphans, these are pretty much ALL white, affluent, college attending children, and I mean children.
A mistake is tweeting once and saying "damn, I'm an idiot" and taking it down. These guys? They're making conscious choices to cyberbully an amazing and beautiful young woman on the internet, that none of them know by the way, because they don't like her dad or they somehow think saying words you can teach a 5 year old is tough? Cool? Bad ass? Something I am missing? My right hand to God I promise all of you that tweeted this stuff, the friends around you saying "dude that's hilarious" and "OMG that's awesome"? Those people? Inside they're actually thinking "what an ass#$!Q" and "holy crap what a piece of trash", no matter what they say to your face.
Ladies? If any of these guys is your boyfriend you're in for a real rude awakening.
Lastly? Not one of these gutless clowns would even think of saying a word of ANY of this in person.
P.S. Gabby I know you're likely embarrassed and for that I apologize. But as we have talked about, there is no situation ever in your life, where it's ok for any 'man' to talk about you, or any other woman this way (and truth be told no real man would ever talk this way anyway). It truly is time this stopped. I don't know where it started because it sure as hell didn't happen much when we were growing up. Like any dad reading this the only thing I need you to leave this home with when you head to college is the knowledge that I love you more than life itself and there is NOTHING I would not do to protect you. And while it may sound corny, it's nothing I'd ever be shy about saying in public, ever.
I wanted to let you internet sleuths have a go. Here are two guys that, as you can see, thought they were somehow funny and tough at the same time.
These guys went to town. If you guys reading this that know how to find people on the 'net want to have at it, please do.
An open letter to the men, women and families of those that served, are serving or ever will serve.
Can't even begin to tell you how hard it was to read this article.
First off I come from a military family, as does my wife. We have a sincere appreciation and love for the sacrifices our brave warfighters and their families have made. Those that have made the ultimate sacrifice I can only offer my families sincere thank you and prayers.
My father served almost 20 years in the Army, as a member of the 101st. My cousin was in the Navy, serving on the U.S.S. Carl Vinson. My brother in law served in the 1st Air Cavalry during Vietnam. My cousin was one of the members of the Delta team portrayed in Blackhawk Down and my Father in Law served in the Army during Vietnam as well. My Grandfather was on Omaha Beach on D-Day.
I say all that not to impress, because I never had the honor of serving. No I say that to make sure anyone reading this that currently serves, or has served, understands how much we admire and respect those who serve and the sacrifices their families have made.
But I wanted to make sure of one other thing.
I wanted to make sure every one of you, no matter the branch, Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard, knows the respect, admiration and pride with which all true Americans hold for you. I thank God every day I was born in a country that makes people like you. Your selfless sacrifice not just for your family and mine, but for people you have never met, halfway around the world is awe inspiring.
I had the honor of spending two lengthy USO tours in the Middle East, Germany, Africa, Iraq and Afghanistan. I know what I saw on every occasion was not what I was reading about. I met hundreds of citizens who were in tears at their gratefulness to you and your brothers/sisters in arms for your sacrifice. I spent some time at Camp Bucca and was bowled over at the wall of letters from citizens who had learned to read and write under the tutelage of soldiers. Thousands of letters thank you for saving them, their families and giving them a possible future filled with freedom.
Sale Solata, Michael Donahue, Kelly Greene. Those three were part of my body detail along with my college roommate Ty Van Dyke. I am absolutely honored to call them friends for life. I was honored to be able to re-enlist Kelly, and be present for Sale's promotion at Ft Bragg. I want them to know how much I respect the careers they chose.
When I think of the world today, as hard as some things may be, I remember them, and their comrades, and it's not hard to smile.
I know you hate the word hero and all that, usually responding as Bill Guarnere and "Babe" Heffron did "We're no heroes, the heroes are the ones that didn't come home".
But in this day and age so few give so much to so many with no expectation of a return. It's "what you do", and that somehow just doesn't get across to many. Just know anyone in this nation that loves its heritage, the Flag and our proud history cannot begin to express our gratitude that you man your post every day for freedom loving people around the world.
So in closing, thank you, God Bless each and every one of you and your families.

2013 Draft, a look at some of the top arms…
One of the things I enjoy most is talking with, and watching, pitchers. I had a look at some of the top arms in this years draft and put some stuff together for some people, and thought that with some redacting, it would be ok to share.
The only report I couldn't get cleaned up in time to post was my look at a kid I really like, Braden Shipley. If I can I'll post it later. I also had a pretty lengthy document explaining how I look at pitching, where I think the important stuff exists and what I think about projecting and going forward.
OOPS! Forgot this kid!
Think I cleaned this one up enough, lots to like on this one.
Thats sure sounds like a performance enhancer cheating to me…
as you've been quoted as saying in the past that you believe records should be thrown out for people proven or who admit cheating, should all of your wins while under the influence and use of Toradol be thrown out?
seems like the answer has to be yes, unless…. it's true and you are the loud-mouth hypocrite that many accuse you of being
That was the end of a 'question' posted by someone who didn't want to use their real name, shocker.
I apologize that the facts don't support your argument in any way, any possible way. Toradol is not a PED, it's a pain killer, like marcaine, like aspirin, like vicodin and others. They are, and have been, used by about every player that's ever suited up. Your earlier rant about me being a "Government hating Republican" sort of tips one off to the reasons behind the 'anger', but that's not odd really. Most of the people saying what you say start their posts off that way.
It's not a PED, never has been. What I did I did within the confines of the rules. Now whether you agree or not, or like it or not, isn't relevant in any way. But thanks for the post I guess. I'll pray you find some happiness somewhere in your life.

Legion decorates Kennebec Main Street with flags
Posted by Lucy
Flags adorned Kennebec Main Street Thursday, June 14 in honor of Flag Day, the anniversary of the Flag Resolution of 1777 - was officially established by the Proclamation of President Woodrow Wilson on May 30th, 1916. And, in 1949, President Truman signed an Act of Congress designating June 14th of each year as National Flag Day.
In Kennebec, American Legion member Jim Sundall and his wife Carol are normally in charge of displaying the flags but this year due to their absence, Charlie Bowar and his wife Gloria positioned the 17 flags along Main Street early Thursday morning. The flags used for the display are memorial flags donated back to the Legion.

Re: [XTalk] Historical Presents
Expand Messages
- Bruce,
I know just enough Aramaic to be dangerous, so this post is offered as
an invitation for comment by people with actual expertise, but here
goes. I wonder if an analogy to Mark's extensive use of the historic
present (or the "narrative present," as I prefer to call it) isn't
presented by the use of the "waw consecutive" (or "conversive") with
the imperfect tense in Semitic narrative texts; this is common in
biblical Hebrew but not in Aramaic, though I believe there are some
instances from Qumran (which would be the Aramaic evidence nearest in
time, and probably also in space, to Mark's formative milieu). The
parallel isn't exact, there being only two tenses plus participle in
Aramaic versus half a dozen in Greek, but as with the waw consecutive
construction a tense usually describing uncompleted action is used in
the narrative of presumably completed events.
If Greek is a second language to Mark, or if Mark is writing in a
scriptural style (I'd think both the case, though both are of course
debatable), this might account for the prominence of the narrative
present in his work. In any case, I'd think this holds more promise
than an approach like Robert Gundry's, who supposes he can determine
the emphasis that each instance of the narrative present conveys in
its Marcan context.
Things it would help to know: 1) The percentage of Mark's uses of the
narrative present that follow immediately on KAI (presumably a very
high proportion of them follow closely on a KAI, given Mark's heavy
use of the conjunction; the case gets stronger the more immediately
follow KAI, as this accords with the Semitic idiom). 2) The proportion
of biblical waw consecutive constructions that is rendered with the
narrative present in the various book of the LXX. 3) How widely used
the narrative present is in other Greek texts written by Jews (e.g.,
Josephus), and in Greek texts written in the Hellenistic Roman era
Love coming up with questions for other people to answer.

Following Up On: Mine of 1/11/09
On: Historical Presents as a Layer Marker in Mark
From: Bruce
Just to repeat, in case there was somehow a failure in delivery: I had
earlier suggested that the following seven passages were for various
internal reasons (not here repeated) typologically late or internally
discordant in Mark, or both:
(a) The Beelzebul accusation (3:22-30), interrupting other material.
(b) The Woman With a Flow of Blood episode (5:24-34), ditto.
(c) The Death of John the Baptist (6:17-29), ditto, plus very long.
(d) The Rich Young Man (10:17-27). Absolute opposition to wealth.
(e) The Parable of the Vineyard (12:1-12). Typologically unique;
substantively late
(f) The Eschatological Discourse (13:3-37). Long; theologically late.
(g) The Anointing in Bethany (14:3-9). Interruptive; legendary in tone.
Are there common traits among these seven, independent of the ones used to
isolate them for discussion in the first place? I had previously reported
that though there are c150 HP in all of Mark, none of these seven passages
contains a single HP. Together, they amount to a sizeable percentage of the
total Mark, and this absence may conceivably be statistically significant.
If it reflects a real situation, this already puts the Maloney data in a
different light: we may have, in Mark the detectable presence of a late
author, one not as concerned as any earlier ones to maintain the style of
Initial Mark.
That is suggestive, though (as I previously noted at some length) not
definitive. To follow up the suggestion, and see whether it holds, for all
or part of this material, we might next ask: are there further features
which these seven passages share?
Answering my own question (since it is now quite a while since I asked it,
and I have had a little time to think), I might mention the following.
1. EUQUS. Along with initial KAI and the HP itself, this is one of the most
conspicuous components of Mark's "breathless" style. EUQUS occurs (in that
precise form) 51x in Mark. Only one of those occurrences is in any of these
seven passages (5:30). We thus cannot say that the EUQUS feature of Markan
style is absent from the seven passages, but it is surely much reduced. It
might be objected, But these stories are not such as would readily
accommodate EUQUS. I answer: The Death of John, for one, might easily have
done so, but the statement does generally hold. I suggest, however, that it
is merely another way of saying, These passages are written in a style
different from that of the typical early Markan EUQUS passage. They are more
dignified (even when they are sensationalistic); they don't grab the reader
as firmly by the lapel. The tone is different, and the relative lack of
EUQUS is one way that this different tone is signaled.
2. Women. Adult women are notably prominent in these passages, either as
present or as contrastively absent. (a) No women directly present, but note
that the Beelzebul accusation interrupts, and thus distracts attention from,
an episode in which Jesus's mother and sisters have a distinctly negative
role, as unbelievers and indeed persecutors. (b) Jesus's only healing of an
adult woman, and it is really her faith, and no conscious act of his, that
produces the healing. We are way past the typical Markan healing scene,
which is a deed of power by Jesus. (c) The Death of John contains a female
part that any diva would kill for. (d) Nothing special here. (e) Ditto. (f)
There is a perhaps notable sympathy, in this cataclysmic picture, with
"those who give suck in those days." (g) Here is another starring female
part, this one emblematic of personal devotion; her actions are pointedly
defended by Jesus.
If we subtract these passages from Mark, how many adult women of consequence
are left? I omit the Women at the Tomb as a cluster rather than an
individual. On that basis, I think just one: the Syrophoenician Woman
(7:24-31). Any EUQUS there? Just one. Any HP there? Just one, and it
introduces not a statement of Jesus, but the retort of the Woman. Hmmm. The
incident itself is typologically odd: a distance healing. Hmmm.
3. The Elect. This I find a confusing term, but I am prepared to take it in
the sense of an appropriated Jewish identity: those to whom God has
previously given a promise. Then the Elect are the Christians, specifically
identified with the New Israel, at a time when the Christians see themselves
as having replaced the Jews in that role. The term itself occurs only in
(f), but the Transfer of the Covenant is the whole point of (e) also. This
perception of the Christian community is late; it occurs in Paul and in
Didache 9:4 and 10:5, in the late layer of a generally early text; it has
become nearly conventional by 1 Peter 1:1, and is wholly so in the Johannine
4. The World Mission. This was pointed out previously, but both (f) and (g)
refer to the Gospel being preached in the whole world, a notion which very
likely took time to develop in the early Movement. An actively propagated
and specifically Gentile Christianity (see previous).
Nothing so far makes these the product of the same moment, or of the same
authorial hand. Text philology is not THAT easy. But I am coming to suspect
that these passages, or most of them, may well reflect a common literary and
theological milieu, and that milieu may itself be late in the history of the
post-Crucifixion movement. The passages themselves may well be late within
the formation process of Mark, most of which seems to speak out of different
perceptions, and to address different needs and concerns. That is the basis
which I offer for any further suggestions, either in extension or in
In addition to these suggestions for seven (or eight?) passages, taking them
out of the HP discussion may usefully clarify that discussion, by reducing
the amount of work that a description of HP in Mark has to do.
