I stumbled upon this time-lapse video on Twitter of Chris Thurstenson of Willtech Enterprises, Inc doing a pretty snappy gear upgrade in a client's home.
The homeowner had an old rear-projection CRT TV tucked into an alcove in the corner of the living room. Thurstenon removed that monstrosity and replaced it with a svelte LG LED LCD TV. However, because the new TV was to be mounted in the same alcove where the deep rear projection once lived, he installed it with an extending articulating mount which allows the viewer to move the TV into a more comfortable viewing position.
In addition to the TV, the homeowner received an Integra surround sound receiver and a Blu-ray player and tied them all together with a Control4 HC-300 to make operation of all the devices easy.
You can see Chris blaze though the installation in the video, and then he whips out his laptop to program the Control4 unit. I like how he keeps the protective cover on the TV even while he attaches it to the wall mount. Amazingly, the whole process, including showing the client how to use it, takes only 8:09 minutes. Hey Chris, have you entered CEDIA's Installer Olympics?

Shh! There's a Secret CIA Prison in Somalia
With President Barack Obama having issued an executive order banning secret Central Intelligence Agency prisons and then-CIA Director Leon Panetta having stated that "CIA no longer operates detention facilities or black sites," one might think a credible report that the CIA is still operating such a prison would make the front page of every newspaper in the country and be covered on all major television news programs. Alas, in 21st-century America, where the news media are the handmaidens of the state, the story has largely been ignored; and those outlets that have deemed it worthy of coverage have done so in such a way as to play down its revelations and play up the government's denials.
Panetta: Iraq Likely to Request U.S. Troops Stay On
Think U.S. troops will be leaving Iraq by the end of the year? Think again. CIA Director Leon Panetta, who has been nominated to succeed Robert Gates as Secretary of Defense, says that the Iraqi government is probably going to request that some U.S. forces remain in the country and that Washington will almost certainly oblige.
Libya on $2 Million a Day: Obama's Illegal War
U.S. taxpayers are being soaked to the tune of $2 million a day for President Barack Obama's illegal war in Libya, according to a Defense Department memo obtained by the Financial Times. The document, entitled "United States Contribution to Operation Unified Protector," says that the government is spending about $60 million a month on the mission and had spent $664 million by mid-May.
Foreign Aid: Borrowing From Peter to Pay Peter
Nowhere on the planet is common sense a scarcer commodity than in Washington, D.C. The $14 trillion in federal debt — much of it held by foreign, and frequently unfriendly, countries — would seem to be sufficient evidence of that. As if that weren't bad enough, it now emerges that many of those same creditor nations are also the recipients of U.S. foreign aid.
How Not to End U.S. Aid to Pakistan
In the wake of the alleged killing of Osama bin Laden by U.S. special forces on May 2, some in Congress are beginning to question whether American aid to Pakistan, the country in which bin Laden was found, ought to be terminated. One of those, Rep. Ted Poe (R-Texas), is actually sponsoring legislation to cut off such aid. Unfortunately, Poe's bill gives the Obama administration, which has already expressed its desire to continue sending billions of taxpayer dollars to Islamabad, enough leeway that even if the bill passes, the aid is likely to continue.
Obama Sends $25 Million in "Nonlethal" Aid to Libyan Rebels
As if it weren't enough that the Obama administration is spending hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars on an unconstitutional war on Libya, the administration took the occasion of every taxpayer's favorite day of the year, April 15, to announce that it is going to send $25 million worth of "nonlethal" aid to the rebels fighting against the regime of Col. Moammar Gadhafi.
In Libya, as in Iraq, "End of Combat" Means "More Combat"
Truth, it has been said, is the first casualty of war. The latest evidence of the veracity of this saying: The United States supposedly stopped attacking Libya on April 4, yet since that time U.S. aircraft have continued to fly over the beleaguered nation and assault its air defenses.
The Bush-Obama-Neocon Doctrine
It's official: When it comes to foreign policy, Barack Obama's first term is really George W. Bush's third.
Libya: The $600 Million War
For all his talk about cutting deficits, President Barack Obama seems strangely unconcerned about the massive amount of money his unconstitutional war on Libya is costing the American taxpayer. How massive, you ask? Try $600 million for just the first week.
Paul, Kucinich Seek to Defund "Impeachable" War on Libya
Add Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) to the list of those who think President Barack Obama's imposition of a no-fly zone over Libya is deserving of impeachment. Last weekend Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio, picture left) said that he believes Obama's war is "an impeachable offense" because, as he wrote in a letter to colleagues, "the President committed the U.S. to military intervention without consulting Congress, in clear subversion of Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution, which gives only Congress the power to declare war." Paul's spokesperson, Rachel Mills, confirmed to the Daily Caller that Paul agrees with Kucinich on this point.

There are three standard power kits offered by Volcano electronic cigarette and one of them is Magma ecig. Magma is a device that looks and feels like a traditional cigarette. With this close resemblance to old fashioned smoke, smokers are given an opportunity to switch much easily.
Convenient And Flexible
The simple 2-piece design is flexible and convenient for new and seasoned vapers. Its battery is high performing and its cartomizer is retooled. This kit is perfect for smokers who can consume 0.5-1 pack of cigarettes in one day. There are 2 Magma batteries are included (both are automatic Draw fitted with RED LED lights).
It contains 2 5=-pack cartomizers containing US made premium e-liquids. You have the option to choose three different levels of nicotine. One cartomizer can last as long as 2.5 pack cigarettes. You may also purchase blank cartomizers in black and white so you can fill them with any of the 30 Volcano liquid flavors that you fancy.
Other included components are a gift box, USB battery charger, wall charging adapter, and mini USB cable. Everything you need to begin vaping is included in this Magma ecig kit.
Filling the device is done by prying open the cap of the plastic cap and then filling it with the liquid. Once done, replace the cap and push the tank to the device's heating component. Just hold the button to start vaping.
If you would notice, despite the small size of the tank, it can still hold a good amount of liquid. One bottle of Volcano e-liquid can last for one week.
While this Magma device is recommended for beginners, some first time vapers would most likely do well from an ecig that does not involve twist on refill cartridges. Pre-filled cartridges are ideal for most beginners because they need only to replace a used cartridge rather than refill it. Refilling can often result to unwanted leaks, which might damage the battery. Thus, it is critical to follow instructions very well in order to use this device most effectively.

SOURCE Platinum Energy Solutions, Inc.
HOUSTON, Oct. 11, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Platinum Energy Solutions, Inc. ("Platinum") today announced that its balance-sheet restructuring was completed on October 4, 2013 following the completion of the exchange offer for Platinum's 14.250% senior secured notes due 2015 (the "Existing Notes") and related restructuring transactions. Holders of over 98% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the Existing Notes participated in the exchange offer. The completed transactions retired approximately $170 million of Platinum's debt, as well as eliminated more than $90 million of contingent and other liabilities based on various agreements reached with certain material contract counterparties.
In connection with the comprehensive restructuring, Platinum issued $35 million of new first lien senior secured notes to certain of its existing noteholders and approximately $54.3 million of new second lien senior secured notes to noteholders that participated in the exchange offer. Platinum's new parent, Platinum Energy Holdings, Inc., also issued shares of its common stock to noteholders participating in the exchange offer and to Platinum's previous preferred stockholders, as well as completed other transactions previously announced in the August 27, 2013 press release.
"The closing of this transaction marks a significant milestone for Platinum," said Charles Moncla, Chief Executive Officer of Platinum. "Thanks to the overwhelming support of our key stakeholders, Platinum is now a stronger positioned company with a vastly improved balance sheet. We continue to operate some of the newest and most modern pressure pumping equipment available with an unmatched safety record. The completion of our third and fourth fleets anticipated for the end of Q4 2013 will place Platinum in a very competitive position among other pressure pumping companies. We look forward to continuing to provide excellent service to our existing customers and demonstrating for new customers our industry-leading performance."
In connection with the restructuring, Platinum also announces the addition of several new members to the company's board of directors. Jatin Patel and Peter Fraser of West Face Capital, Inc., Jose Feliciano of Clearlake Capital Group, and Jacob Mercer of Whitebox Advisors, LLC will join Charles Moncla on the board of directors. West Face Capital, Clearlake Capital Group, and Whitebox Advisors, LLC are all major shareholders in Platinum.
The new securities issued in the exchange offer and related restructuring transactions have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") or any state securities laws. Therefore, the new securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.

This week's Featured Plant is one of the most popular Camellias of all time that is marked by charm, grace and versatility. This magnificent camellia is known by gardeners for the abundance of stunning, frilly-edged, pure white slightly fragrant blooms that are produced throughout the fall season, and which stand out remarkably against the dark green, evergreen foliage. Growing to about 6 to 8 feet tall with an equal spread it makes and outstanding hedge or corner plant in foundation plantings, or "limbed up" to form a spectacular small tree that is useful as a focal point specimen in the landscape. It can also be used for espalier, which is training it to grow flat against an open wall of the home or other structure. Click here to see this week's Featured Plant and how to plant and care for it.

One thing that makes GTD different from the rest worlds is that you process items before you deal with them.That sometimes put me in frustration. First off, I don't really have the mood to think it through before I really get to it. Second, it gives me a clear goal, context, and fresh memory when I figure out what it is right before I do it. and then I just do it in a continuous way, which keep me good in terms of why I am doing it.
any ideas?

Bay Street Biergarten Review
If you're looking for a great selection of craft beers (mostly offered directly at the bar) or just want a large venue for socializing with a group of friends, this is a great spot. The table taps can be a little difficult to get to when crowded, but still a nice addition that bings a different style of service Charleston has been missing out on. With regards to food, there is pretty decent menu, but quite honestly most people go here for the beer selection, so its generally what you expect (the giant bowl of tattertots with cheese and gravy still always fun at any age). The staff has been friendly and accommodating as well.
The only issue I see is with parking around the area can be a llittle bit sketchy, since the lot always get full. However there is a giant lot that is open on the port terminal road that runs parallel to E. Bay.
Wonderful space for an event. Went to a Guerrilla Cuisine dinner there a couple of weeks ago and was surprised at how pretty the distillery hardware looks with the right lighting and how warm and comfortable the space was - especially for a warehouse and work site, at that (the bathrooms are a literally shining example). A few strategically placed pieces of art (big works well) and beautifully set tables were all that was needed to transform what would be a cavernous area in the back into a really cool, even elegant, venue. I know others worked hard to make that transformation and I WAS under the influence of some fabulous food, but the end result of GC & others' efforts highlighted the possibilities of the distillery space itself. The Striped Pig people proved very hospitable folks, dedicated to their craft and eager to share the process & results with willing fans. Sampled some powerful but oddly delicious moonshine & a more finished product. It is obvious that a great deal of thought went into making this space a welcoming place to hang out, whether for an event or just a visit.
We have been to the pub in Rivertowne several time and have had a great experience each time. I look forward to our next visit. Steve
This one of the better joints in town. They have a handful of very well prepared and creative gourmet sandwiches. Duck fat fries are pretty hit and miss, unfortunately, but I don't mind rolling the dice on them. Good beer selection as well.
New owner! Great food! FAST service! Definitely done an up grade here! Thank goodness! :) I WILL be back!
Cha Cha's is a creeper. You can walk in to this lost strip mall joint and not expect anything at all. You can walk in and expect the typical American version of "authentic" Mexican. Or, you can just walk in and take it for what it is and then some. They have something special happening there. I've been going since they opened, and that was a rough start to say the least. they've really pulled the quality up by the bootstraps. I once had crappy service from a dum-dumb server at a table in the pool table room, that we kinda got forced to sit at, but never at the bar and never anywhere else with table sized parties.
Just tonight, the bartender smiled at me when I ordered another special cocktail. Like, I genuinely felt as if he was happy to make the drink rather it be an insult to his workload to make a $3 margarita. He was sincerely being gracious and hospitable.
The other major part about this place is the food. (going back to what to expect from authentic or americanized) It is what it is, and it's all good!! Bacon studded guacamole? You really can't go wrong with that. That may have just been a special, but it sincerely shows and proves that there is someone in the kitchen that truely cares about food.
Other than that, three words: Pork Belly Taco.
It will change your life......no really, it will.
(as long as they keep the pork belly portion well off)
Have not been to RB's much since it was supersized to a three level monstrosity on "The Creek", but met some friends on top last Saturday and I must say the experience was very pleasurable. I was somewhat concerned about the food quality based on previous visits, but something has definitely changed for the better because the entrées passing by our seats at the bar looked, smelled, and likely tasted spectacular. While my party did not order any main dishes from the dinner menu, the selections we did sample were definitely fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The blackened salmon Caesar salad was so much better than any other similar one in this town with a large portion of nicely seasoned fish, soft-leafy spinach, and real Caesar dressing it could easily be enjoyed independently as a satisfying meal. The fried onion rings are lightly battered to perfection and extremely addictive. I mention this because I am not a big fan of onion rings and for the most part avoid them entirely. Other samplers were equally well prepared with fresh ingredients and served at the correct temperatures. The place was busier than normal possibly due to some large wedding, prom night, and private parties yet the service did not seem to suffer. How the lone bartender was able to handle the constant waves of patrons and remain as friendly and accommodating as she was is beyond me. Other "so called" bartenders in Mount Pleasant and downtown Charleston could learn much from this young lady. Everyone in my group, some of whom were from out of town, really had a great night on Shem Creek and that is not so easy to accomplish anymore. True, the "overkill" parking lot signage needs to go and the nautical theme is a bit over the top, but Ronnie Boal's seafood palace beside the shrimp docks is providing quality local waterfront dining and, like the man himself, will still be there in one form or another when the rest go down with the ship.
My new go to place for lunch on upper King- best onion rings ever
good food at the right price
Been twice, impressed both times. Had French toast at 11pm with a "Dark & Stormy" cocktail. The French toast was excellent with the sorghum syrup and $2 optional strawberries and bananas. The Dark & Stormy was tasty, but I wouldn't get another one for the $9 they charge for it. I came back later for lunch. Tried the chicken and waffle plate. The chicken was really, really damn good. The waffle was ok. Service was good both times.
Sometimes overly crowded. Doesn't stop me from going. Can't beat the champaign list.
I'm usually a downtown guy, but I live in Summerville. I've always been skeptical of going to bars in my own area but I decided to give Montreax a try this past Friday night. I was surprised about how normal and young the clientele was, similar to being at a bar downtown. Had a few drinks which weren't expensive at all and had a great time with my friends. Definitely checking it out again.
Loved the comedy night. Great crowd, fun times and lots of variety!
My wife and I have been to this place 3 times in the last 6 weeks. The food was really good. The prices for downtown cannot be beat for the amount of food you get. The only problem we have had is with getting the waitress to refill the water glass. In the 3 visits we made they never refilled the glasses. I will continue to visit this restaurant for the food and hope I can get the waitress to step up the level of service.
Great local spot with amazing beer and wine selections.
First things first: this is a BAR with a menu, a sports bar more specifically. Nothing wrong with that, but I somehow missed that when choosing a meet-up place for my family and parents. And evidently they didn't offer us any of their drugs. Rip-off! ;-) Just kidding.
That being said, the waitress was very friendly, it wasn't loud, it is smoke free (yay, Charleston!) and the food (while slow because we were the only ones eating) was very good and very reasonable. Fish Po' Boy, Lobster Roll, Cheese steak and the Pepperoni Rolls were all super tasty. A definite winner for a casual sports bar.
My go to brunch location! There are a number of great options for brunch, great sides, great drinks. Always dependable. The service some times isn't fantastic, which is the only thing that keeps me from giving 5-stars. I would always recommend Crave, especially for brunch.
My wife and I went in for a late supper Saturday night close to ten o'clock, pre-Built to Spill at the Farm, after the Grocery messed up our reservations. We had the foie, the beef tartar, the sweetbreads and the charcuterie. Everything was delicious. Nice to see an old school place still doing well.
Food was good, but not anything super special. Reasonbly priced for what is offered. Excellent wine options. Staff very knowledgeable about wine menu.
I am interested in attending Saturday evening 8/4/2012 'cause of their entertainment and to try something from the menu: 'THE STUD FARM' with guitarist Jeff Bateman(if he is still in this band) and who's a really great musician.
, I'm giving it 4 stars based on my experience. The happy hour is excellent: plentiful free pool tables and $1 Tecates (and when those ran out, they upgraded to a Costa Rican beer called Imperial.) The food is very good, especially for a place that identifies itself as a sports bar. We enjoyed the homemade tortilla chips and salsa and had no trouble getting to an open pool table at 5 pm. It appears as though renovations may not be complete yet...but the Mexican Day of the Dead murals that adorn the walls help set a fun vibe, as do the hand-painted, glowing skulls on the bar. We really enjoyed our appetizer sampler--the surprise hit for me being the fried pita bread. The Bacon-wrapped jalapenos were quite tasty too. My wife, who used to tend bar at a Latin bar, was blown away by her first rocks margarita, but had to ask them to remake the 2nd one...meaning it depends on who makes it. (Nicolette made the best one.)
The most important thing we noticed is that we could truly feel that everyone there is trying very hard to make this something good. Dollar beers and good food will get me in the door once. The attitude and effort being put forth have already brought me back for repeat trips.

radicchio, pear + walnut {salad}
As an American food blogger, I guess I guess I'm supposed to weigh in (pun intended) on the whole Paula Deen thing. If you've missed it, here is a great piece by Frank Bruni and another by Marion Nestle. Both - especially Frank - look at the issue from different perspectives, and try not to go over board with the Paula-bashing.
But I've decided to stay out of the fray, letting you read these two articles - and a million more online. Instead, I'll just post this rather ordinary recipe which sums up how I eat and cook most of the time. Which is about as far away from Paula on the Deen spectrum as you can get.
A simple salad, but focused on what's in season. I grew the radicchio myself, and bought the pears and walnuts at the Farmer's Market. All real food. All extremely local. And - as a side note - healthy.
It's one of my favorite winter salads. And you're probably thinking - looking at the photo - where is the radicchio? It's the green stuff. Did you know that radicchio starts out life as green, and then slowly starts turning crimson as the weather gets cold? But there are a few varieties that stay green (or even cream colored like this beauty).
This salad uses Pan di Zucchero, which we always grow up in Todi. As the name would imply, it's incredibly sweet for radicchio, with barely a hint of bitterness.
I use it all winter long, but love it this way, tossed with pears, walnuts and a fruity honey walnut vinaigrette.
Easy. Not expensive.
And not a hamburger doughnut sandwich in sight.
Radicchio, Pear and Walnut Salad
serves four as side dish or appetizer
1 head radicchio (I use Pan di Zucchero, but any type of radicchio will do)
1 pear
1/2 cup toasted, chopped walnuts
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
3 tablespoons walnut oil
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
Chop the radicchio in to half inch ribbons and let soak in cold water for 10 minutes. This helps take out some of the bitterness.
Drain well, and lay on a plate.
Top with thinly sliced, cored pears (I like leaving the skin on) and the walnuts.
Mix dressing ingredients well.
Pour over salad and toss. Adjust for salt and pepper.

My kind of salad, and yes, all is in season and readily available locally. I think we'll be having this today. Thanks! it will be a nice change from the "whatever greens are in the garden with olive oil and vinegar" salad we eat almost daily.

would escarole work (like the salad at Lupa in NYC) or is that too tough. Or maybe I should say the escarole available right now seems too tough but the similar-to-the-above salad at Lupa is good. Have you tried the above w/ escarole?

WASHINGTON (CNS) --- Officials with the Catholic Campaign for Human Development rebutted a report that 55 agencies funded by the U.S. bishops' anti-poverty program in 2010-11 were in conflict with church teaching. Bishop Jaime Soto of Sacramento, Calif., Bishop Stephen E. Blaire of Stockton, Calif., and Ralph McCloud, CCHD executive director, said the charges leveled in an American Life League study against all but one of the agencies were unfounded. McCloud told Catholic News Service Nov. 4 that funding was withdrawn from one organization cited in the report. That case involved the immigrant rights group Centro Campesino in Owatonna, Minn., which was found to be distributing condoms. McCloud acknowledged the league's role in pointing out the organization's practice. McCloud also said the 54 remaining agencies were found in compliance after a follow-up investigation by CCHD staff that involved contacting each named group. The 212-page report --- completed in March but not made public until October when it was posted on the American Life League's website, according to its primary researcher --- accused the grass-roots organizations of promoting abortion, homosexuality and Marxist ideology contrary to church doctrine. Michael Hitchborn, director of the league's Defend the Faith project and the report's author, said his research showed that the organizations violated church doctrine either through specific activities or through coalitions addressing a broad array of social concerns. The agencies in question received nearly $1.9 million in 2010-11, according to CCHD records. Overall, CCHD funded 229 organizations with national grants from a collection that netted about $9.5 million for both national and local diocesan distribution during the period.
Redemptorists urge Hanoi Catholics to remain calm after attacks
HANOI, Vietnam (CNS) --- Redemptorists at a Hanoi parish have urged local Catholics to keep calm after a mob led by government officials attacked a convent and church in early November. The Asian church news agency UCA News reported tens of thousands of people attended 10 special Masses celebrated Nov. 5-6 at Thai Ha Church in the capital. Each Mass was attended by an estimated 3,000-5,000 people. During the Masses, priests told parishioners about the attacks and appealed to them to stay calm. On Nov. 3, around 100 people, accompanied by security officials and members of the press, attacked the convent. They damaged a gate and verbally abused and physically assaulted several Redemptorist priests and laypeople. They fled after the church's bell rang out, bringing many people to the scene, UCA News reported. "We strongly condemn this violent, rude and organized attack," Redemptorist Father Joseph Nguyen Van Phuong, parish pastor, told one congregation. He urged them to "forgive them and avoid retaliation." He said the motive behind the attack probably stems from an ongoing dispute with the government over seized church property. "We are determined to fight for church property in a peaceful way and urge the government to punish the rioters," he added.
Pope condemns violence in Nigeria, prays for victims
VATICAN CITY (CNS) --- Pope Benedict XVI appealed for an end to violence in Nigeria and prayed for victims of the most recent wave of civil conflict there. "I am following with concern the tragic incidents that have occurred in recent days in Nigeria. As I pray for the victims, I call for an end to all violence, which never solves problems, but only increases them, sowing hatred and division even among believers," the pope said. The pope made the comments at his noon blessing Nov. 6, two days after attacks in Nigeria's northeastern states of Yobe and Borno left more than 100 people dead. The attacks targeted churches, police stations and military barracks, Vatican Radio reported. Officials blamed the violence on Boko Haram, a radical Muslim group responsible for previous attacks in the region. Archbishop Ignatius Kaigama of Jos, vice president of the Nigerian bishops' conference, condemned the attacks, saying that the radical group targets both Muslims and Christians. "They attack Christians and Muslims indiscriminately. Our police are Christian and Muslim, they are even targeting other Muslim leaders. Boko Haram are not anti-Christian, they are anti-civil society," Archbishop Kaigama told Vatican Radio.
Pope says prostitution, pornography threaten human dignity of women
VATICAN CITY (CNS) --- Pope Benedict XVI called for an end to prostitution and pornography, saying the practices denigrate women and represent "a serious lack of humanity." The pope made the remarks as he welcomed Reinhard Schweppe as Germany's ambassador to the Holy See Nov. 7. The pope's talk focused on the church's role in defending human dignity. "A relationship that does not take into account the fact that a man and a woman have the same dignity represents a serious lack of humanity," the pope said. With the "materialistic and hedonistic tendencies" that seem to be gaining space in the West, there is a growing form of discrimination against women, the pope said. "The moment has come to energetically halt prostitution as well as the widespread distribution of material with an erotic and pornographic content, including through the Internet in particular," he said.
Turret at Catholic university falls as rare earthquake hits Oklahoma
WASHINGTON (CNS) --- A turret fell from the main building at St. Gregory's University in Shawnee, Okla., during a rare earthquake the night of Nov. 5. The 5.6-magnitude quake also damaged the other three turrets that sat atop the 98-year-old building. All of the turrets will have to be taken down, said university president D. Gregory Main. Classes were canceled Nov. 7, as most of the classrooms at the 500-student school are in that building, Main added. The building also houses the college's library, administrative offices, president's office, and admissions and registrar offices. Classes were to resume Nov. 8. "We are scrambling to find other places on campus" to conduct classes, Main told Catholic News Service in a Nov. 7 phone interview. Main was calling from outside the university's cafeteria because the building was closed to protect students and staff from getting injured. "Any of those (turrets) could fall down at any time," Main said. He added the turrets stand 24 feet in height from the roofline. "And they are masonry construction. There's no reinforcement. That's why it fell," Main said. The building at the Benedictine-sponsored university had originally been used to house a Benedictine monastery and an art museum. Both now have separate buildings on the campus. Main said the only other damage sustained by St. Gregory's in the quake were of "a few broken windows, exterior windows when a few (turret) bricks bounced after hitting the ground." While there was no cost estimate for the damage, Main said he expected it to be low. However, removing the turrets "needs to be started in the next couple of days. I've got to put this building back in service," he said.

Most of us that are small business are not making over a million dollars.
And we but to fifty and that is something that is possibly what we could make you know.
Tell me what you're doing right now we should prepare and first of -- what's your biggest fear you get a deal or you get a panty.
You don't get a dealer you don't get a Q how I would say don't get a deal and then get a bad deal.

You know saving and putting taking less money into the technology and marketing -- and -- already done the math -- what the tax increase would be if you don't get a deal it's a huge hit for an what's the impact.

Beats the crank case.

text: Just curious what cards everyone is using for their computers. I have a Fire GL 1000 with the diamond permedia2 chip (i think), but am looking to upgrade within the next month or so. I am not sure what to get. I am looking for an AGP one in the 100-150 price range. Currently I am looking at the Voodoo3 3000 which can be found for about $125 minus $20 bucks for a coupon +whatever is shipping. I was told by a friend though that the voodoo3 didn't have 32 bit (processing?) and that I would probably want that since it makes a significant difference (or maybe not significant but a big diff). Any thoughts on what the best card is for the $ currently? I was also told that maybe i should wait a bit longer since an new generation of cards just came out. Thoughts?

Russia Loses Wikipedia Due To Black List Bill Protest
Just last week, the online encyclopedia Wikipedia shut down its Russian operation for a period of 24-hours.

These websites would not be available to Russian Internet users. Top officials in the administration of Russian President Vladimir Putin claim that the object of the bill is to stop websites that promote the continuar…

The Struggle for Gun Control Continues
The recent gun-related tragedies of Sandy Hook and beyond have only furthered the battle for gun control. Two common camps, one pro-gun and one against, form and the fight rages on across the world. If you found your television service through http://www.cabletelevision.net or you have access to any of the major networks, then you've seen the debate. Perhaps most infuriating about this debate are the ones out there who see anything the government does to minimize danger to the youth as a blatant seizure of their rights. What is infuriating about this is the fact that no one is actually "coming to your house to take your guns." What the government is calling for are stricter rules and screening processes regarding the exchange of weapons. It's all meant to prevent those who have the will to kill from having easy access to these weapons. No one is saying that people shouldn't have guns, but it's about time people realized what they are truly signing up for. Guns are not toys you use to shoot cans in your backyard in front of your friends. They are not party favors you blast off into the air on Independence Day. They are not tools for intimidation. Guns are dangerous and, if you want them, you need to earn the right.

Teenage Florida Swimmer Get Arm Taken Off By Alligator
On a sweltering summer day this week Florida teen Kaleb Langdale gathered some friends for a dip in the Caloosahatchee River. It was a typical outing for the 17-year-old Kaleb and his buddies who report that in rural Moore Haven many youths frequent the river to escape the searing Florida sun. The summertime ritual was interrupted by a sudden shout, "Gator!" Almost instantaneously Kaleb could see the dark figure approaching fast and made a break for the shore but got snagged when something caught his arm.

Chicago Get's Shooting Gun Camp For Kids
Chicago, Illinois – A controversy has stirred up from money legitimately earned from a Gun Rights group that participated in Mayor Emanuel's gun buy-back program. The program, called "Don't kill a dream, save a life", accepts the premise that guns, rather than criminals, are the real danger. Anyone turning in a weapon is paid 100 for a hand gun or 10 for BB Guns or air guns. No one is asked any questions by police regarding their donations. The Pro-Gun group donated dozens of non-functioning guns and BB guns which they gleefully referred to on their website as "rusty scrap metal". continuar…

OBama's Outsourcing Record Being Attacked By GOP

Some of Romney's efforts led to jobs being shipped overseas. In an effort to thwart any adverse definition of the GOP nominee, a coordinated effort has been continuar…

Conditions of Use
Well, as I said before, I am reading a book called Lockdown by Alexander Gordon-Smith. It's a great book because of the suspense that lies on every page. I really am enjoying this book. It is an enjoyable book because of how exciting it is. The author makes every page enjoyable and makes boring activities in the book fun because of his use of vocabulary. The whole idea of a boy living in an underground institution is a cool concept to me. That combined with the author's unique style of writing makes this one of the best pieces of literature I have ever read.
