RALPH KINGSBURY: N.D. energy growth shows free market at work
Keynesian economics made America the greatest power the world had ever seen. That was the conventional wisdom about 50 years ago. At that time, most students — this writer included — tended to accept the prevailing theories of every field of study. Keynes was right about anything dealing with economics; Freud was right about psychology, and so on.May 18, 2012
RALPH KINGSBURY: Keep an eye on housing starts in Grand Forks
Another month, another set of upbeat numbers. We could call the building permit report negative. The total dollar amount is only about 30 percent of the first four months of last year, and there is not one category that is better than last year.May 04, 2012
RALPH KINGSBURY: Needles of worry in haystack of good news
This job should be easy. With an economy like the one we have in Grand Forks, the Red River Valley (including Minnesota) and all of North Dakota, it is as good as it gets. Of course, that's the problem. I mean, what is there to say month after month? Power up Word and write, "Well, the economy continues to grow. There are no signs of trouble" again this month. Then what? I am supposed to write a column. How do I fill the rest of this space?April 06, 2012
RALPH KINGSBURY: With Measure 2, N.D. faces landmark fork in the road
As someone who always has believed property taxes were the least fair of all taxes, and as someone who agrees with most of the stated problems and wrongs of property taxes, I am sorry to say I am going to vote no on Measure 2. Why will I vote this way? One reason: While those writing the initiated measure did eliminate the problems concerning property taxation, they replaced them with problems of state appropriations.February 17, 2012
RALPH KINGSBURY: It's not Mayberry anymore. But what to do?
Now and then as my columns have appeared, readers have had comments and questions. Today's column is an attempt to reply to some of the comments and to answer some of the questions.January 20, 2012
RALPH KINGSBURY: It's a new N.D., for the better — and for better yet
He comes from a northwest North Dakota town. He is pretty smart and well-educated, with a background including UND and a professional degree from a national, highly ranked private university.By Ralph Kingsbury , January 06, 2012
RALPH KINGSBURY: Crystal is a business, not a welfare agency
About 20 years ago, co-ops were all the rage in the upper Midwest. Led by American Crystal Sugar and Dakota Growers in Carrington, N.D., farmer-owned and value-added businesses were going to make us all rich. As for American Crystal, today it is the most successful agricultural investment in the region. But there are problems, some of which were created by poor management decisions.December 16, 2011
RALPH KINGSBURY: Time to look Grand Forks' gift-horse in the mouth
We might as well start at the beginning. The unbelievable, unexplained, unwritten-about beginning. What is doing this? Why in Grand Forks, so far from the oil patch? What is making this happen?December 03, 2011
RALPH KINGSBURY: Controlling the costs of college
The North Dakota State Board of Higher Education is going to study the cost of fees assessed against students for enrolling in particular programs at North Dakota colleges and universities.By Ralph Kingsbury , November 19, 2011
RALPH KINGSBURY: Grand Fork's motel-tax collections go up, up, up
Today, I fear this sense of community has disappeared from much of America. But one of the few places where it has continued is in rural areas, and that means North Dakota. Now, I fear the North Dakota Legislature is about to take on giant step toward destroying that community. It will save taxpayers a few pennies, maybe the cost of a Big Mac a year or so.November 05, 2011
RALPH KINGSBURY: North Dakota won't be immune from globalization's woes
Globalization. That's the way they describe it now. When the trend first started, it was called free trade. We were told — and most of us believed — that if only we would let production take place in countries with the greatest "comparative advantage," we would all be better off. It's not my intention to discuss the American Crystal situation again, except to say that as it relates to free trade and globalization, the federal sugar program's survival even in the near future is questionable.October 15, 2011
RALPH KINGSBURY: Ho-hum: Another month, another record performance
Last month, I wrote how this job could become boring. All that this town, this area, this state were doing was growing. Some places grew fast, some grew slow, but every place was growing to some degree. How could I find any excitement in this?September 30, 2011
RALPH KINGSBURY: Forecast calls for more growth (yawn)
This job could get boring. Through thick and thin and good and poor national economies, North Dakota's economy has ranged from good to excellent.September 02, 2011
Ralph Woehle, Lengby, Minn., letter: Crystal farmers should consider workers' plight
Herald columnist Ralph Kingsbury's column concluded that American Crystal Sugar, a farmer-owned cooperative, had no choice but of offer a union contract that threatened job loss ("Nothing — not even sugar — stays the same forever," Page B1, Aug. 20).By Ralph Woehle , August 25, 2011
RALPH KINGSBURY: Farm news sends shiver down economic spine
I may be the one with an economics background, but Herald publisher Mike Jacobs is the wordsmith. Jacobs has written several times that he thought majoring in philosophy gave him a broader understanding of life and made him a better writer than if he had majored in journalism.By Ralph Kingsbury , July 15, 2011

01-26-2012, 01:51 PM #4I hand calculated mpg on my 90 mile trek to work this morning. Filled up leaving home and again when I arrived at work. Mpg was 19.74 with cruise set at 73 mph. There was a slight tailwind but I was impressed for sure. My avg mpg before inTune was mid 16. Looking forward to calculating with little to no tailwind.
01-26-2012, 03:01 PM #6Correct. That mpg was based on the 87 octane tune, with DOD (4 cyl mode) turned off. Mpg may have been higher had I left DOD turned on. I read that I should disable DOD when data logging for a custom tune.
My inTune also has a Mileage Booster canned tune. I have no clue if that would get even better mpg results than the 87 oct...Last edited by mah2496; 01-26-2012 at 03:03 PM.

Three days after Aaron Alexis walked into the Washington Navy Yard and randomly shot and killed 12 people, a congressional push for tougher gun laws still seems unlikely to materialize like it did following the Newtown school massacre.
But as more details emerge of the Alexis' troubled past, lawmakers appear to be reframing the debate over gun violence, this time with emphasis on better treatment for mental health.
The exasperated gun control debate takes a turn
After the December shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary school and a Colorado movie theater massacre the previous July that resulted in an insanity plea by the shooter, lawmakers and advocates on both sides of the gun debate called for improved mental health services.
But those calls were drowned out by the more emotional and better-funded debate over gun control.
Now, Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-New Hampshire, wants to re-introduce a mental health measure that had overwhelming support across party lines earlier this year.
Co-authored by Sen. Mark Begich, D-Alaska, the legislation calls for more training and familiarity with services in schools and communities.
The measure was added as an amendment to the broader gun control package in the Senate earlier this year, and while the chamber approved Ayotte's amendment by a wide margin, 95-2, the overall package failed. The mental health legislation went nowhere.
Now she's trying to bring it back without attaching it to gun control bills.
"I actually think it can be taken up separately and easily passed," she said on CNN, pointing to the strong support the measure received in April. "Very little gets 90 votes around here."
Rep. Adam Schiff, D-California, also suggested a mental health bill can stand alone.
"I think we ought to move," Schiff said on MSNBC. "The gun issue has been so difficult. I think we ought to try to move forward with whatever pieces we can."
Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Connecticut, said he still favors legislation for enhanced background checks but believes the mental health initiative should be the "centerpiece" in any new effort to stop gun violence.
Dampening the hope of gun control advocates, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid told reporters in the aftermath of this week's Navy Yard slaughter that the votes aren't there to bring back the failed gun control legislation.
Pressed on whether he'd consider a narrower version that strictly focuses on mental health, Reid simply said he "would hope it would have the votes."
"And I would be willing to do that," he continued. "Anything we can do to focus attention on these senseless killings that take place."
Mental health as common ground
The most avid control advocates are still poised to push ahead with their agenda.
Mayors Against Illegal Guns held a rally Thursday on Capitol Hill --- an event scheduled before Monday's shooting --- to keep pressure on lawmakers over expanded background checks.
But as the investigation of Alexis continues, the conversation is largely focused on red flags from his history that were seemingly overlooked.
Alexis had recently made contact with two Department of Veterans Affairs hospitals for apparent psychological issues and had exhibited signs of mental problems, CNN has learned.
His father said he suffered from post-traumatic stress after working in 9/11 rescue efforts.
Alexis, who was shot dead by police, was also arrested repeatedly for alarming offenses. He left the Navy after eight instances of misconduct, Navy officials said.
Gun rights activists have fervently maintained gun violence stems from the deranged minds of individuals, and new gun restrictions won't do anything to curb the killings.
The National Rifle Association has long been supportive of laws that keep guns out of the hands of those deemed mentally incompetent.

There was A/C but it was either freezing cold or hot. If you are on a very tight budget it isn't a bad place, but there are many places around the area that are nicer for around the same price. "

The window can't be closed and the 'aircon' blows an ice cold air one minute and hot air the next,ensuring you will get ill instantly. There is no hot water in the showers,nowhere to hang your clothes in the shower either.Filthy toilets with water running out of the bowl instead of into it.Most water taps are broken.By far the saddest place I've seen in ages.

There is nothing objective about this column. It is very personal and it comes from the heart and facts are facts – in many ways Notre Dame has been a part of my entire adult life.
I came here as a student in 1963 and for all of you younger than me it might be hard to understand just how low an ebb Notre Dame football had reached by then. There was a lot of talk on campus then that Notre Dame needed to give up trying to be a football power. Take my word, it was a lot worse than the most recent era when some were saying Notre Dame had become irrelevant. Our coach in 1963 was Hugh Devore, a wonderful man but he had no chance, especially when he was given the title of Interim Coach. In a game against Pittsburgh he got mad at the officials, went out on the field, threw his hat on the ground and stomped on it. In another game he went on a tirade at half time and in a yelling fit his false teeth flew out on the locker room floor. He tried to fire up his players by telling them that losing the game would be worse than their mothers dying. Somehow I think that was not going to work.
Then came Ara and you know how that turned out. 1964 was a miracle season and Notre Dame was back among the very best in college football for years to come.
Now we can segue forward to 2012 and Manti. I will make the case with anyone that no one since Ara has been more important to Irish football than him.
A Mormon from Hawaii spurns USC to go to college at a Catholic school in northern Indiana.
I have known Manti as a student since his freshman year because in my alleged retirement I work a few days a week on campus checking the "kids" in for lunch at the South Dining Hall. Don't laugh. I have never had a job more rewarding no matter the pay. Okay, I do some other things as well and last year I wrote a feature article on Manti for a book called Strong of Heart 2011. We spent a couple of hours together and he really opened up. Did you know that when tragedy struck the Notre Dame practice field, it was Manti who charged across the field and climbed over the wreckage? He went to Declan Sullivan and put his arm on him and whispered a prayer in his ear. Did you know that Manti is an Eagle Scout? Maybe you didn't, but it sure is a perfect fit.
As some of you know, I have been the public address announcer for Notre Dame for the 31 seasons and there can never be a fonder memory than 2012 and Senior Day. I knew it might be difficult for me when I got to that final player to introduce. My pulse was racing and I started to feel tears well in my eyes. But I had a plan and I had to make it work, emotions be damned. So I came up with a phrase in his native language and somehow it calmed me down.
Keike Kane. Special Son. We will not see anyone like him again at Notre Dame and he will always be "our" son.

Researchers are using recent advances in imaging to reexamine lunar samples from Apollo 11. Gary Greenberg, a research affiliate at the University of Hawaii Institute for Astronomy, took this 3-D stereo image (cross your eyes slightly until there are three images, then focus on the center) of a single grain of moon sand (magnified here about 300 times). It reveals a ring created by a micrometeorite that struck it. The impact resulted in melting, and as the particle quickly cooled, it created a glassy structure. Greenberg and his colleagues hope viewing these grains in greater detail may help scientists learn more about the moon's evolution.

Calabar throwers aim for international mark |
RAYMOND GRAHAM, Star Writer
Calabar coach Julian Robinson, the man at the helm of the school's remarkable achievements in high-school throwing events over the last few seasons, says his athletes main source of motivation is to aspire towards international standards. The Red Hills Road institution continued their dominance over their rivals last Saturday at the King of the Ring Thowers R Us meet at St Hugh's High School. For the second time this season, there was a national junior record by an athlete from that institution. National junior representative Ashinia Miller erased his former teammate Chad Wright's record as he heaved the shot put for a personal-best 19.19 metres. Wright's previous national best of 18.87 metres was done at the national junior trials last year. A week earlier at the Youngster Goldsmith meet, at the UWI Usain Bolt stadium, Wright lost another national junior record to Traves Smikle, the first Jamaican to get a medal at an international event in throwing. Smikle got bronze in the discus at the 2009 World Youth Championships in Italy, and erased Wright's previous national record of 63.11 metres, winning the event with a throw of 63.96 metres. "At Calabar, we do not concentrate on winning at Boys and Girls' Championships, we try to prepare them to attain an international standard. We try to aim for the standard set by those athletes in Europe and like any athlete on the track, we train them just as hard," said Robinson. in fantastic form
Last Saturday, the Julian Robinson-coached throwers were in fantastic form once again, taking the first three spots in the 16-18 shot-put event. Coming behind Miller in the event were Fredrick Dacres (17.31) and Smikle (17.23) metres. Smikle was also in record-breaking mood at the meet, as he returned to remove Wright's one-year-old mark in the discus, with a new record of 61.40 metres. It was another one-two-three finish for Calabar in the event as Dacres (50.64) and Miller (48.23) metres, occupied the next two spots. In the 14-15 shot put, they took a quinella as Chris Brown had a record throw of 16.72 metres to win the event ahead of teammate Stephen McDonald with 14.02 metres. "Unlike previous years when our guys train from September to March, we have done something different as we train for the entire year and this has helped to contribute to the vast improvement of the boys," said Robinson, who was the head coach of Jamaica's team to the World Junior Championships in Moncton, Canada, last year. "Unlike some coaches who think someone has to be big and fat to throw well, that is not the case at Calabar. The event requires a lot of speed and this is what we look out for, as it is very very important in this event," he added. Robinson also credited head coach Michael Clarke for his success at the institution so far. |

By Domzo (52 reviews) , 05 Dec 2013A great, fun animation cartoon. I bought this on dvd right away! Also, just a really unique story line. And it showed a different portrayal of a baddy. Because in animations, there is always a baddie and a goodie. Here, everyone was the baddie, because everyone was greedy to a point of detriment. Greed was the baddie, which was unusual for animation movies to show, and they nailed it!- Was this review helpful to you?

Great film for kids and their parents.
By krysalyss (6 reviews) , 01 Dec 2013This is a great kids film. It has a good message, a strong female (supporting) lead, interesting characters and relationships. There is one part in this film that I found disturbing and that was the snowball fight scene - was I the only one who thought that went too far?!? But apart from that, it had lots of laughs, and was enjoyable for both kids and adults. Definitely recommend.- Was this review helpful to you?

Strangely depressing
By Wendulka (5 reviews) from Greenhithe , 09 Oct 2013No appealing characters, and actually quite depressing.

MENDOCINO COUNTY (KTVU/JEREMY PENAFLOR/MENDOCINO COUNTY SEARCH AND RESCUE/CNN) - A 72-year-old hunter survived 19 days after getting lost on a hunting trip.
Lost in the wilderness for 19 days - injured and dehydrated - Gene Penaflor, 72, survived.
"I didn't panic because panic would kill me right away, I knew that," Gene Penaflor said.
Gene Penaflor vanished in the Mendocino National Forest in northern California.
He was on a hunting trip, got separated from his partner and then suffered a serious fall.
"In the process of falling straight down, I thought my kneecap was broken. After that - all dead - went dead I pass out," Gene Penaflor said. "I don't know how long."
When he finally woke up he was disoriented, suffering a head injury.
He was stranded in the middle of nowhere, forced to eat lizards, frogs and squirrels to stay alive.
"In the process of several days the three squirrels were dead because of me," he said.
He scavenged water from a drainage source.
He huddled under logs to stay out of the snow and rain.
And, kept warm by making fires using leaves and grass.
Meanwhile, Gene Penaflor's family spent every single one of those 19 days praying he was still out there, still alive.
"Nineteen days I know was nothing for him. I knew he was there," said Jeremy Penaflor, Gene Penaflor's son.
Rescue teams had been searching for Gene Penaflor for weeks.
But he was finally found on Saturday by a group of hunters at the bottom of a ravine.
By then, Gene Penaflor could no longer walk on his own. He had to be carried on a makeshift stretcher.

At stake are more than $20,000 worth of prizes - in the form of instruments for the winning schools' music programs.

Class Got Brass is back!
The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation's new program to support music education in the schools - while promoting the brass band tradition - is ready for an encore.
It's a contest for Louisiana middle and high schools to create traditional New Orleans-style brass bands. At stake is $20,000 worth instruments for the winning schools' band programs.
Are you ready to rumble? Then polish your horns, polish your shoes and straighten your caps, because Class Got Brass is back.
Program Background
The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation – the nonprofit that owns Jazz Fest – has a mission to promote Louisiana's musical culture through year-round programs in education, economic development and cultural enrichment.
The Foundation created Class Got Brass to address a conundrum.
Many, if not most of Louisiana's schools struggle to afford enough instruments to equip all of the students who want to learn how to play music.
Still, nearly all Louisiana high schools – and many middle schools – have active marching band programs.
But, historically, hardly any of them have had New Orleans-style brass bands – even in this, the only region in the world where teen-agers love their joyous local culture of second-line parades.
So the Foundation established a contest to encourage Louisiana middle and high schools to create brass bands. They would compete in a second-line parade according to guidelines that encourage the essential elements of a centuries-old tradition. The winners would earn $20,000 worth of instruments for their schools' band programs.
Class Got Brass made it's debut in March 2012 and was a roaring success. More than a dozen Louisiana middle and high schools stepped up to the challenge.
A middle school, KIPP McDonogh 15, took the top prize of $10,000. O. Perry Walker High School won second place and $6,000. McDonogh 35 High School took third place, winning $4,000.
An additional 14 schools each got consolation prizes of $750 worth of instruments, instrument repair and other essential supplies.
See a video of the first annual Class Got Brass featuring the contest winner here.
2013: The Second Annual Competition
Now the Jazz & Heritage Foundation is launching the second of what will be an annual competition – and a new tradition.
As in the first version, Class Got Brass is open to middle schools and high schools – public and private – anywhere in Louisiana.
Just as before, bands will be limited to 12 members – only one bass drum, one snare drum and one tuba. All other instruments must be part of the recognized brass band tradition. And, as in the first Class Got Brass, schools are encouraged to augment their bands with "steppers," or dancers.
The finals will take the form of a second-line parade, with an all-star group of heroes from the New Orleans brass band scene serving as judges.
Once again, the prizes will be $10,000 for first place, $6,000 for second and $4,000 for third. The prizes will be in the form of gift certificates from the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation that may be redeemed for instruments, instrument repair or other supplies that benefit the winning schools' band programs.
New In 2013
The second annual Class Got Brass will have a few new features.
Clinics will be organized for the participating schools, with top musicians educating the competitors in the finer points of the brass band tradition.
In a new addition to the guidelines, all competing bands must include a new required element: a dirge. This will be in addition to a traditional up-tempo song from the classic brass band cannon, as well as a contemporary song.
The finals will take place in a second-line parade on Sunday, March 24, in Armstrong Park as part of the Foundation's Congo Square New World Rhythms Festival.
The 2013 Competition
Applications are no longer being accepted. The contest guidelines are here. See which 17 schools will compete here.
Match Our Funds - Increse the Prizes
Funding for the contest prizes comes from the Foundation's Community Partnership Grants program. Prizes are limited to available funds.
But the number of prizes may be increased - or the amounts of the prizes enlarged - through donations. If your organization would like to contribute funds to increase the number or size of prizes to be made available in this contest, please contact us by clicking here.

Aortic Surgery
The Swedish Heart and Vascular Institute is the most comprehensive heart-surgery program in the area, with nationally recognized cardiac surgeons who treat the full spectrum of heart problems, including aortic surgery. This involves using some of the most advanced surgical techniques available, such as minimally invasive, videoscopic-assisted valve repair and replacement.
A variety of aortic surgery procedures are offered at Swedish by a highly trained multidisciplinary team with years of experience performing complex aortic operations. These include surgeries to treat aortic dissection (bleeding into and along the wall of the aorta) and aortic aneurysms (a weakening or bulging in the vessel wall).
Many diseases and conditions can cause the aorta to enlarge or tear and thereby increase the risk for life-threatening events. Such conditions range from atherosclerosis (thickening and hardening of the arterial walls) and high blood pressure to genetic conditions such as Marfan's syndrome. Surgeons at Swedish are among the West Coast's most skilled when it comes to surgical solutions for aortic problems.

I'm not taking sides with anyone here but I can see how the moderator's may be a bit concerned. If these girls were just girls in bikinis then fair enough. But to be honest, some of them wouldn't look out of place on a porn site. If they were modelling bikinis they'd just be posing naturally. But the pose says it all. Their facial expressions practically all look mid-orgasm and a lot of the shots are taken from behind.

Kate and Andrew
Kate and Andrew's day has the look of a fairy tale story. Gorgeous weather complimented by a few fun unpredicted events made their day truly memorable. From a butterfly on Kate's bouquet to Andrew's slip on Kate's misplaced "lucky penny" we were very pleased to have captured them.
While watching the highlight, pay particular attention to the last Airmans sword during the ceremony exit.
Sherri Barber Photography created absolutely beautiful images of the day.
She also added just a little more fun for Kate, Andrew as well as for us too.
Steve Bender Productions provided a crowd pleasing great time!
Margot and Patrick
It is very touching to see someone's true emotions flow through the lens of a camera. Margot and Patrick were no exception. The tears and emotion in Margot's face during her vows at Normandy Chappel was nothing short of wonderful.
The music Margot chose for her highlight reflects the fun, upbeat atmosphere of their day and great party at Clyde Brown Productions as usual, provided a top- notch performance.

Perfect Everyday Skirt!
September 30, 2013
LOVE this skirt! I was looking for a modest, knee-length skirt I could wear to work, school or church. This fit the bill perfectly. The only reason I gave it four stars is because it is unlined and thin, but hey...it cost like $10. I didn't expect lined gabardine. ;D
I wear a slip to ensure proper coverage and to prevent the skirt from clinging to my skin. I plan on purchasing one in every color. I do recommend ordering a size up if you desire a more modest fit. Like I said, it does cling.
Pros:Affordable Versatile Modest length Great fitCons:Clingy Thin material |

Northwest (1-5, 1-2) scored first in both defeats and gave up a 5-0 lead in game two.
The Bearcats trailed from the end of the first inning on in game one, scoring in the top half on an Eric Swain RBI.
The Bearcats grabbed their second run in the fifth inning when Brandon Huske drove in Alex Singleton on a double down the right field line.
Marcus Garrett picked up his second loss of the season as he went three innings gave up five hits and four earned runs and three strike outs.
Game two was an offensive explosion for both teams. NSU and Northwest combined for 25 hits and 19 runs.
The game was scoreless heading into the top of the third until Matt Kanger singled to right center field scoring Eric McGlauflin.
Charlie Krueger stepped up to the plate with the bases full of Bearcats and dropped a grand slam over the left field wall to put Northwest up 5-0.
The home run was Krueger's second of the season.
The RiverHawks added three in the bottom half of the third off a three run home run by Davidson. NSU would take the lead in the fourth inning by adding four runs to go up 7-5.
Ryker Fox got the start for Northwest who used four pitchers in the loss.
Tyler Durant went 3 for 5 for the Bearcats and knocked in three RBIs. Kreuger, McGlaufllin and Cameron Bedard all added two hits apiece.

Saturday's Game
Northwest earned its first win of the 2013 season, defeating Northeastern State 7-5 Saturday.
Northwest got off the bus and pulled the bats out immediately as they jumped out to a 4-0 lead after the first inning. Ryan Abernathy led off the game with a walk followed by two quick outs then a single by JJ Baccari knocked him in to go up 1-0.
Eric McGlauflin and Baccari were both on base when Charlie Krueger hit a three run home run to right field with two outs to put the Bearcats up 4-0.
The Bearcats also had a great showing from the hill as Blane Reutter went the distance for the complete game win. Reutter needed 110 pitches for the 9.0 inning victory as he had five strikeouts, allowed five earned runs and gave up only one walk. Reutter improves to 1-1 on the season.
Northwest added one run in the fourth as Abernathy scored on a throwing error by Northeastern's third basemen putting the team up 5-2.

I started using this one in '95 (Thats right, before all the crazy stuff went down). I had a glancing familiarity with the band, but was really into "outbreak" style books at the the time. Ebola was too well known, this worked out better.
I gave this name up after Sept. 11th, but I was still receving a lot of flack from many sources from the few lingering instances of this name. Then, my post office tested positive for Anthrax, and I was wandering around NBC studios the week of their incident. So I decided to say screw what other people thought, and reclaimed my name.
There are a few places where I still use some other names.

vpisteve, when translated to a telephone keypad becomes 87478383, which, when you subtract 2 from each number becomes 65256161, which is an anagram for my old phone number.
No wait, it symbolizes the 8 Boeing 747's I worked on while working at Boeing as a painter, plus the year that my twin sons were born: 1983.
Wait, no, that's not right either. When added together, the total is 48, and we all know what that means.

Okay, well, I'm a fan of Douglas Adams - specifically the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. So, I obviously know that the great answer to the question of life, the universe, and everything - is 42. (Read the book, if you dont understand.
) Anyhow, I said this to a number of people and just "grabbed" the42guy.
Although I usually use the42guy (heh, I coulda gone with the27guy because I'm a huge Weird Al fan too), I sometimes use Sephorus. This is my character in an online MUD/IEN (www.materiamagica.com)
Actually, the characters name is based on Sephiroth form Final Fantasy 7, it was once my friends name in a MMORPG he played. When he started a new character, I kinda yanked the name from him, and use it still.
So that explains the42guy and Sephorus.
One last story. When my friend was chasing me down because I almost "stole" his name (though he had stopped using it), he ran afterf me, waving a small plastic ax. It quickly broke before he hit me, and he yelled "Damn Ax!" .... Wait, I'm now the second person to do this, huh?
Sometime I may change over to Sephorus - It's more of a nickname then the42guy. Anyhow.... that's it.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, before Scrappy was even born, when I first went online via 300 bps modem to connect with local BBS systems I picked a nickname that seemed to go with the handles I'd been seeing on the splash screens of all of my pirated Apple ][ software: Captain Midknight. Heh, get it? 'Cause with the "K" and stuff? Woo, what a great name...for a kid or a retard or, like me, both.
I steadfastly stuck by that nick through thick and thin username character requirements, creatively shortening it to fit into the less forgiving fields of say 8 or 9 characters. I harbored the kind of loyalty for my stupid nick that could only be equalled by my unfailing stick-with-it-iveness to the Apple ][ platform itself. As the world of technology marched merrily on without me, I found myself PEEKing and POKEing into the same old spots, which unfortunately had absolutely nothing to do with girls. Good lord, I was an idiot.
After a while, I decided computers were the tools of the devil and/or nerds and sought to disassociate myself from them. Needless to say, this added an uncomfortable layer to my relationship with the actual devil, who indeed had created computers without telling me. We've since patched things up, and I'm confident he tells me everything now. Anyway, I went offline for a couple five years.
My next venture online was via IBM PCs at this engineering firm where I used to work. The Internet was then up, albeit devoid of content by today's standards, but the company only had email accounts - no direct Internet access. I discovered the wonders of email-to-web and email-to-ftp gateways, thereby flooding the local mail connection to the point that nobody else could get a damn thing in or out electronically.
The company relented and gave me DOOM for my computer and all was right with the world. No wait, they got mad at me and took away my email account, forcing me to hack into other peoples' and nab the incoming emails directly from their holding directories on one of the unmapped NetWare drives, before they could get delivered to the addressees, who would have wondered long and hard how they had gotten subscribed to freaky mailing lists like "Alt.Sex.Fetish.Feet.Ungroomed" and "Rec.TELEPORT."
Eventually, the company installed a direct Internet connection with a limited number of IP addresses available. By this time, I had befriended the network administrator, due to the fact that almost every time an alarm bell went off in the network room, it was caused by me and, you know, after a while we'd start chatting when he came out to find out what the hell kind of exploit I was attempting now. He must have been drunk or something because he hooked me up with the 'net connection to which some of the Vice Presidents didn't even have access.
Well, let me tell you, after that it was a lot easier to find information about exploits and to download the proper tools with which to REALLY annoy the SysAdmin. Hahahaha, good times.
Anyway, PC gaming was on the rise during this time. Microsoft came out with their 'revolutionary' DirectX technology. One of the first games I ran across that really sucked me in was one of the original massively multiplayer games, "SubSpace," which was like a cross between Asteroids and the Gulf War II: Gulf War Reloaded. Man, what a great game that was...but you needed a nickname to register and, thankfully, I had outgrown my erstwhile nick, "Fat Ass." I mean, "Captain Midknight."
What to do? One night, during band practice (or, technically a break in the practice), I was noodling around, jamming by myself, and one of the hot groupie chicks who always watched (I think his name was Fred), said, "Wow, you sure play some spacey bass." That night, I quit the band and my job and moved underneath the Burnside Bridge, east side. Eventually they built a skate park over me, and so I shouted out, just as the neighbors were arriving, "DAMN AX!"
I'm sorry, what was the question again?

Dave "Bermuda" Schwartz
In the early '80s I discovered a pun in the liner notes of a 'Weird Al' Yankovic album: Percussion... Jon "Bermuda" Schwartz.
I used Bermuda Schwartz as a bbs nick for years. Upon discovering the Internet and Usenet, I also discovered that the real "Bermuda" Schwartz was online, and propriety demanded I give it up.
For Majestic, I revived the alias as an in-character role. I added the "Dave" to distinguish from it Jon over in a.m.w-a and I encouraged "muda" as short form in direct contrast to his "Bermie". For screennames, Bermuda is a common word and such services are always forcing numbers on you. "653" is soundex for "bermuda".
Like Brooke/Imbri/Mirlandano, some of you may know me by another name which I don't use in this genre (since I like play these things in-character, and I try to keep this 'muda' character separate from 'me'
). Peek behind the curtain at your own whim:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Phydeaux is an old Photon alias -- originally borrowed from a friend, but I made more of an impression with it than he did. I later discovered it was also the name of an NPC in and old D&D module, but that's neither here nor there. I've also seen it carved into various fantasy figurines, in particular on the food dish of a baby dragon acting like a puppy.

Dark Side Of The Moon
Lol...nothing too earth-shattering here...I wanted to be a little mysterious and have several connitations go through everyones head all at once...so since I'm into astronomy, the possibilities of alien life and Area 51 references along with goverment cover-ups and whatever else, Dark Side of the Moon seemed to work real well for me...
Allright...PLUS I love Pink Floyd as well as Zeppelin, Beatles, Who and any other older classic Rock and Roll...lol....
I was originally known to some as Grave Matters...a play on words as well as an online wrestling persona that I controlled...but at the age of 38, I'd decided it was time to get out of that and do something different...and with Push, Nevada hooking me, one thing led to another and I became an ARG junkie and out went Matters and Dark Side was born.
Good question Varin!

My nickname
Well, long story short. When I married my husband, I didn't take his last name (due to my 6 year old not being able to take his name too. didn't want him to feel left out). So when we switched ISP's, I wanted a new name. He came up with Mrsfitz-short for Mrs. Fitzhugh. Too boring. So one day he said to get Misfits on my license plate and we both thought of my new name. Msfitz, missfitz and misfitz were taken. So I came up with Myssfitz. The "y" makes it sound more myssfitzish and misfits (with the s) just didn't fit right with me (ha ha). And since I am so dingy and clumsy, well.....
Perfect fitz
And I get to use some part of my married name.

whence came the mouse?
Back in the good old days of BBS, 1200 bps modems and
monochrome monitors, the computer mouse was unveiled
by that company known as Apple Computers.
Slaving away in a research lab in 1987, a postdoc
fellow brings a small MacIntosh and modem into the lab
so he can upload and download genetics data. This
industrious administrative assistant (i.e. secretary)
gets an ex-boyfriend to teach her how to use the modem
(after all the researchers have left the building) and
hooks her up with local BBSs where females are quite
the rarity. A moniker is required and "mouse" is born
(ie. the lab used mice for immunology research, the
computer had a mouse, and I was "the mouse that played
while the boss was away").
That "handle" stuck with me for many years.
Fast forward to the late 1990s. "Mouse" has been
upsurped as a nickname by way too many other computer
users (that cancer known as the Internet has spread
far and wide) and a descriptor or suffix is required.
My wonderful spouse managed to snag "konashark" on
eBay and I found that "konamouse" was available so I
pounced on it (we really love vacationing in Kona,
HI). And I have been known as such ever since (except
in AIM where someone else has registered that nick).
So, I'm still that "mouse that plays while the boss is
away" but this time my boss is my hubby, and we try to
share the computer.

story of my nick
Mine's pretty easy. A long time ago, I was trying to kill my parents in a murderous, manic rampage and the weapon I was using broke when I slammed it into a metal conduit in the drywall in their bedroom (they were running - which was silly and frankly futile, but that's an easy call through the retrospectoscope). Anyway, it hit the piece of metal conduit and the head of the ax shattered from the force - and so I shouted out, just as the neighbors were arriving, "DAMN AX!"
The rest, as they say, is history.
But I figure that most of you had already figured that out. Just thought I'd contribute.

They've underperformed all season long on their way to a 5-10 record, their defense has given up 400 points for the third season in a row and they'll be playing in front of a home crowd that may rival attendance figures of a preseason game.
Despite all that, the message from the highest paid player on the Bills' roster is simple: finish out the season with a win.
"It's very important -- not just for myself -- but for everybody in this locker room, for the people upstairs, for the fans," said defensive end Mario Williams. "The way the season has been going, obviously it's not the way any of us wanted it. But we've gotta come out and win, someway, somehow. No matter what it is, no matter what we're doing schematically. Put points on the board and don't let them put points on the board."
After a rather slow start due in part to a wrist injury, Williams has picked up his play ever since the bye week and now has 10.5 sacks through the season. The seventh-year player also has 43 tackles and 2 forced fumbles to go along with his main statistic.
Williams and his defensive teammates will have some chances against a Jets offensive line that allowed a whopping 11 sacks in their last contest against San Diego.
"It's an opportunity to go out there and get after it," he said. "Obviously they had problems last week and we've gotta put it together to get to the quarterback and get him down."
On the negative side of things, the Bills defense is not that far away for setting some regime and franchise milestones that no one wants their name attached to. Buffalo has allowed 426 points this season. If they allow just nine points to New York, that will be the most points allowed in Chan Gailey's tenure as head coach.
If the Jets were to score 29? That would set the franchise record for futility in points, which is currently held by the 1984 Bills (454 points allowed). Twenty-nine points also just so happens to be a shade more (0.6 to be exact) than the average amount of points Buffalo surrenders on a weekly basis in 2012.
Williams doesn't have to be told twice, they don't want anything to do with that record.
"Definitely," he said. "Obviously coming out here and putting ourselves in a situation and being in a hole like we are, which is on us as players, you definitely don't want to have that taste in your mouth in the off-season."
Even though the season hasn't gone the way they've wanted it to, the defensive end urges that there is no temptation to just go through the motions in their final game of the season. It hasn't happened far as often as the Bills' would have liked, but Williams wants his team to go out on top one more time.
"Whenever there is a game on Sunday, it's all about that," he remarked. "It's all about us going out and putting forth the effort to win the game. You definitely don't overlook anything regardless of what's happened. You've gotta have pride in yourself to go out there and do that."
The Bills are getting set to battle the equally as disappointing New York Jets on Sunday at Ralph Wilson Stadium.

To the women out there…. relax, you're not alone! And, Men, you should take note, too. Even youthful, beautiful, fit, sporty models have the "pooch". Even teenage competitive swimmers have it!
This is our No.#1 complaint about wearing a bra. Every day we hear this. But wearing a bigger band (ie: the wrong size!) is not the solution.
Open a {{Bounce}} catalog that may have arrived in the mail and take a look.
Notice how smoooooothe all the underarms are. Also take note that MOST of the photos are with the model's arms UP.
(Try that at home!: stand in front of a mirror with just your bra on and lift your arms…… Pooch-be-gone!)
But, how nice of Title Nine to leave ONE photo un-Photoshopped, though! THIS is reality. Get the bra band to fit, and well, gravity happens ~ To Us All. They put out a really nice catalog of great bras (some of which you can find at City Drawers (with some in a bigger size range!)) and we really don't understand all the doughnuts and cookies gracing the pages, but what they're selling is right. Just wanted us all to be on the same page about the "pooch", though.
Visit City Drawers — we'll do our best to help you tame yours.

text: Tom Lathrop's series of boats, the Bluejackets, are easy planing hulls designed to cruise at a pleasant speed and under minimal power for their size. Plans are offered in 24 (the original), 25.5, 27, and 28 foot hulls. I think they are great. They offer a practical, efficient, and smart-looking solution to the family who wants a cruising, fishing, or even general-purpose boat with a cabin (which I believe is a pretty good idea where kids and wives are involved for decent lengths of time). I'm looking for pictures of completed boats. landlocked sailor recently launched his 28 footer and some pictures have been posted. I'd love to see the 25.5, which to my eye is the most balanced and for my purposes, I think the most useful. Tom's site is here: http://www.bluejacketboats.com/
