I was recently removing the water pump off of our classic Firebird when I noted a damaged bolt that my wrench just would not fit on. It looked like someone had taken a pair of locking pliers to it, you know what that looks like!
Anyways, I brought out this set which I bought for just this kind of incident and the bolt came right out without any fuss! Well worth the $15 price tag!
Just a note: I used one of my extractors for the 1st time a couple of days ago. It didn't take the bolt out and was ruined in the process. It seems the metal is quite soft. I've used other brands of these extractors before and haven't had any issues.
When I went to the store today I found that there is NO warranty on them at all. Buyer beware. I'm happy I didn't pay too much for them, but wouldn't have spent my money if I knew how poorly they would work.

Saved me from a very costly repair if I had to call a repairman. I was able to remove a rounded nut in no time. So happy that I bought next set of larger sizes.

For the price and value Sears is the place for quality tools. You get 5 different sized bolt removers, a knockout tool, and a case. Can't wait to remove my first bolt! Only kidding. But if I need it, I got it!

Great value. Purchased set on sale for half price. Socket attached securely to a rounded bolt. Bolt was then easily removed using a 3/8" socket wrench.

These rounded nut remover sockets are really handy. Be careful and try not to use too much force. If the nut or bolt is rusted, use some penetrating lubricant first and wait a while. I used these to remove the soft one-time copper nuts on an exhaust manifold and this set worked like a champ Use a hammer to gently drive the socket onto the nut and then try to remove the nut. Made sure not exert too much torque, which could have possibly snapped the studs. All the nuts were removed, slowly but surely. Also it didn't seem to damage the nuts, which was nice but I was replacing them all anyways.

Low Gap Whiskey 750ml Sku: 1690103*
Low Gap Whiskey is made by hand by Crispin Cain, who apprenticed with Hubert Germain-Robin, and has been distilling for 20 years. It is made from malted Bavarian wheat, fermented slowly, distilled using rigorous and painstaking craft methods, and brought to bottling proof with unfiltered rainwater. The Germain-Robin 16-hectoliter cognac still comes from the old Surrenne distillery attached to the family chateau in Triac. It is an antique, operated entirely by hand. We brought it over for small lots of varietal apples, but we've also used it for grape spirits. We didn't realize how special it was until Crispin Cain began to distill whiskey on it: the still produces beautifully round, soft, elegant and complex distillates.

(page 1 of 4)
Mid-December, 2006, muzzleloader deer season, Ogemaw County - Scott Maxon sits in the dim interior of his camouflage pop-up blind, waiting. It's nearly 10 a.m. He's been perched atop this hill since sunrise. Except for the nasal laugh of nuthatches and the occasional creak of his camp chair, the woods are quiet. No deer crunching through the knee-deep snow. No shots fired.
A commotion on the fringe of the swamp below catches Maxon's eye. He squints out his blind's front window. Two big, dark shapes are charging across the white landscape. His first thought: Dogs. Then, watching the pair hurtle up the deer-run toward his blind … coyotes? As they come crashing through the trees, grunting, snorting, thundering into view, he realizes, no. Not coyotes. Wild pigs.
Maxon raises his CVA Hawken, a classic side-hammer muzzleloader he built from a $100 kit back in '84. He points the barrel out the window, following the pigs' diagonal trajectory. Because muzzleloaders require reloading after each firing, Maxon has just one shot. Trickier still, his moving quarry boasts a plate of skin over its vitals so tough that the best - and likely only - chance he's got at felling one is if he nails it in front of the shoulder, behind the ear.
When the pair gets within 75 yards, Maxon whistles sharply - whitetails, he knows, sometimes hit the skids at the sound. But the pigs don't even slow. As they pass, he pivots to the side window, takes aim at one ragged, hairy shoulder bouncing by, then cocks back the gun's hammer, trips the hair trigger and fires.
The hollow point erupts from the barrel. A plume of gunpowder smoke fills the tent. Maxon scrambles through the haze into the white glare of daylight, racing through the trees to where he last saw his target. There, sinking into the snow, is a thick pool of blood - and running off into the distance, a telltale scarlet trail marking its path, is one pissed-off hog.
No pig is indigenous to the United States. The first came over with Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto, who brought some here from Cuba so he'd have a sustainable food source. Early colonists brought the first domestic breeds. More recently, hunting preserves have been importing Eurasian wild boars.
Like many states, Michigan has swine farms. It also has boar-hunting preserves. And, like an estimated 34 other states in the nation, it also has a wild pig problem.
Nobody can pinpoint exactly where. Or when. Or how. But sometime, in some places around Michigan, these pigs - domestic hogs and wild boars - escaped. Met up in the wild. Mated. Multiplied. And began wreaking havoc.
hey scott, I got a wild pig 11-09-09 out bow hunting in northwest midland county. (bekim). hah u remember me now dont ya ha ha...
hey can any body help live in royal oak mi and looken for wild boar in the lower mi state land or if ur a farmer needs them gone let me no please I'm a bow hunter looken for more time in the woods email is email@example.com and thanks

Obama's crew pressured advertisers to dump The Glenn Beck Program. Beck's ratings soared, over three million viewers in non-prime-time by Wednesday. An appetite for truth has been rekindled in America. To put this in perspective, Beck left Anderson Cooper and Larry King in the dust, and they both air in prime time when the pool of TV viewers is much larger. (Big Beck)
The current flap began when Beck did a program exposing the communist affiliations of Van Jones, Obama's "green jobs czar." In 2005, Jones co-founded ColorOfChange, an African American political advocacy group. ColorOfChange sent a petition signed by some of their members to all of Beck's advertisers, urging them to withdraw support from Beck's cable television program.
According to news sources, some companies did pull their ads — Allergan (maker of Restasis), Ally Bank (a unit of GMAC Financial Services), Best Buy, Broadview Security (formerly Brinks), CVS, GEICO Insurance, Healthy Choice (a division of ConAgra Foods), the advertising service Lawyers.com (run by LexisNexis, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. and misspelled Nexus Lexis in news reports), Men's Wearhouse, Procter & Gamble, Progressive Insurance, RadioShack, Re-Bath, Roche, Sanofi-Aventis (Plavix), Sargento Foods, SC Johnson, State Farm Insurance, Travelocity, Wal-Mart.
In response, Beck's viewers organized a boycott of those companies. Websites supporting Beck sprang up. Two really good ones are:
- Defend Glenn, which got 850,000 page views during its first day online, and
- Support Glenn Beck, which includes a pro-Glenn-Beck petition to advertisers and great contact information.
There is just one problem for those companies that bowed to the pressure to suppress free speech. ColorOfChange claims that they have over 600,000 members, and that 75,000 of those signed their petition in response to an email request sent to all the members. Beck has over three million viewers, most passionately loyal. On top of that, ColorOfChange draws membership from a demographic that is on average less affluent than Beck's largely middle class viewership. So advertisers who withdraw are shooting themselves in the foot.
And cost them it has. In the first three days of the DefendGlenn movement:
- 9,000 GEICO accounts gone
- 297 Ally Bank accounts closed
- 7,200 boycotting CVS
- 14,700 boycotting Sargento
- 10,000 Travelocity accounts cancelled
And now it appears that claims made by ColorOfChange about the success of their effort to silence Glenn Beck were somewhat exaggerated (I'm being kind here). Several of the companies they claimed to have influenced did not advertise on the Beck program in the first place. It appears that the mainstream media just accepted the list of companies in the ColorOfChange press release and reported them without checking.
Bond Action Inc., a black organization focused on supporting the family, traditional moral values, and positive and honest race relations has come out in support of Beck — Black Group Comes Out In Support Of Glenn Beck:
BOND Action, Inc., a national cultural action organization, has come out in support of FOX News Channel broadcaster Glenn Beck. Beck has been under attack from the radical left-wing group ColorOfChange.org after he said last month that he believes President Obama is "a racist." ColorOfChange.org was founded by Van Jones; a self-described "rowdy black nationalist." Jones now serves as White House environmental advisor (czar). So far advertisers including Geico, Ally Bank, and Sargento Cheese have been intimidated into pulling ads off The Glenn Beck Show. "BOND Action, Inc.,will be working to expose the source behind the boycott and counter it," said Founder and President, Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson.
"Glenn Beck is right, Obama is a racist!" added Rev. Peterson. "Where were the boycotts and outraged activists when President George W. Bush was being falsely maligned as a 'racist'? This is a blatant double standard. This boycott is an attempt to silence Beck from continuing his expose' of Barack Obama's socialist agenda and his radical 'green jobs czar' Van Jones."
ColorOfChange.org claims some 33 advertisers have pulled their ads off The Glenn Beck Show, but that number is reportedly exaggerated. ColorOfChange.org has a checkered past. The group reportedly endorsed outrageous statements by rapper Kanye West that former President Bush gave troops permission to go to New Orleans and shoot black people during Hurricane Katrina. Beck's television program draws more than 2 million viewers and BOND Action, Inc., is calling on advertisers not to cave in to pressure.
Rev. Peterson said, "ColorOfChange.org claims that it exists to 'strengthen Black America's political voice' — but it's clear that they are a left-wing, racist political group that deal in lies. This attempt to silence Beck is an attack on free speech and must be countered."

Mount Prospect, the second highest point in Brooklyn, draws its name from the sweeping vistas it affords viewers. It was used by the Continental Army in 1776 as a lookout point, which at that time offered strategic views of Manhattan, Brooklyn, New York harbor, a portion of New Jersey, Staten Island, and Long Island. In 1856, the City of Brooklyn built a reservoir at the peak of this hill to supply water to its western section.

MASS EVACUATION: More than 180 million people live within 50 miles of a nuclear power plant in the U.S.--the radius the U.S. suggested be evacuated during the nuclear crisis at Fukushima Daiichi.

On March 11, 2011, Japan suffered a massive earthquake and subsequent tsunami that destroyed roads, bridges, and buildings; killed nearly 16,000 people; and critically disabled three reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. By March 12, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) was already considering urging Americans within 50 miles of the stricken nuclear reactors to evacuate, given an explosion in Unit 1 that destroyed the reactor building and exposed spent nuclear fuel and other radioactive materials to the air.
"If this happened in the U.S., we would go out to 50 miles," said Bill Borchardt, NRC executive director for operations on March 17, according to transcripts of the days following the catastrophe. "That would be our evacuation recommendation."
In fact, in the U.S., more than four million Americans live within 10 miles of the 63 sites of nuclear power plants with at least one operating reactor, according to data compiled by the NRC based on the 2000 census. That number swells when the radius extends outward to 50 miles to affect more than 180 million Americans, and includes major metropolitan areas such as New York City, Philadelphia, San Diego and even West Palm Beach, Fla.
In the wake of the meltdowns in Japan and subsequent evacuations, could all these people in the U.S. be evacuated--or take some form of protective action--in time in similar circumstances?
Planning for the worst
Nuclear power plants are surrounded by two "emergency planning zones" developed out of accident analyses conducted in the 1960s and 1970s: a roughly 10-mile radius around the plant that must anticipate being exposed to a radioactive plume and a roughly 50-mile radius around the plant that must prepare for possibly being exposed to radioactive particles that drop out of a plume. "Neither are zones that are fixed and that is the absolute boundary," explains the NRC's Patricia Milligan, the senior technology advisor for preparedness and response in the Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response. "We don't expect that [nuclear power plant operators] would stop taking action because it's at 10.5 miles. The plans are built so that 10 miles provides a reasonable basis and, if you need to expand, you could."
That is exactly what happened in the case of Fukushima. Just hours after the tsunami on March 11 the Japanese government ordered an evacuation of those living within three kilometers of the stricken nuclear reactors and suggested those living within 10 kilometers stay indoors with the windows closed. As the situation progressively worsened--and radiation hot spots were discovered farther afield--the Japanese government expanded the evacuation order.
The goal in the zones prescribed by U.S. regulations is to avoid any radiation doses that exceed the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's "protective action guidelines" for exposure to a plume of radioactive material being released from a nuclear power plant. The U.S. rules note that evacuation--or sometimes getting indoors--"should normally be initiated at one rem," or 10 millisieverts. (A rem is a dosage unit of x-ray and gamma-ray radiation exposure.)Workers within a nuclear power plant can receive doses of up to 50 millisieverts per year. It takes immediate exposure to as much as two sieverts of radiation to cause sickness straightaway.

Jobs cuts at the TSA would mean fewer security guards and longer lines. The problems would continue at the gate, with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) forced to cut $1 billion from its budget—reducing the number of air traffic controllers, which would translate to more delays. The FAA would also have to delay implementation of NextGen, a new aircraft guidance system that would replace decades-old technology.
In addition, the fiscal cliff would cause reductions in the federal emergency fund used to rebuild roads damaged by Hurricane Sandy. Rail travel would also take a hit, as Amtrak is set to lose $131 million.
Innovation destroyed, with short-term pain for all. Shawn Ritenour, a professor of economics at Grove City College near Pittsburgh, says the fiscal cliff would also take money away from companies that drive innovation.
[In Pictures: The S&P's 10 Worst Trading Days.]
"More resources are being left out of the hands of capitalists and entrepreneurs," Ritenour says, adding that short-term pain is likely for the U.S. economy—no matter the outcome of the fiscal-cliff negotiations.
Fort Pitt's Bovard says this pain would be more acceptable if Washington could come up with long-term plans to control federal spending, while providing a clear blueprint for national fiscal policies.
"When do we take our eyes off who's going to beat the other person and say, 'How do we fix this issue'?" Bovard says, referring to political squabbling. "If you can share the pain across the board, we can get things moving in the right direction a whole lot faster. At the same time, it pulls everyone together."

If Sarah Hendley chooses to pursue her interests in political science and law, she has plenty of evidence that she'll be a success.
The St. Mary High School senior has a 4.0 grade-point average — top in her class as of Friday — and was chosen to participate in the Governor's Scholars Program this summer.
She spent five months of her junior year grabbing coffee and making copies as a U.S. Senate page in Washington, D.C.
Thirty high school students in the nation participated in the program, which required her to keep up with schoolwork and live independently in the nation's capital for five months. In addition to class instruction time, she attended congressional sessions and ran errands for senators.
She has the blessing of Vice President Joe Biden, one of the many political figures she met in Congress. "He told me I had beautiful eyes, actually," Hendley said Wednesday.
Which all told lands Hendley Teen of the Week honors.
Hendley, daughter of Missy and Stan Eckenberg and Steven Hendley, is the Murray State University Teen of the Week. Each Monday, the Sun features a different MSU Teen of the Week selected from nominees submitted by high school guidance counselors throughout western Kentucky and southern Illinois. In May, a Teen of the Year will be chosen from the weekly winners, earning a $5,000 scholarship to Murray State. Teen of the Week is part of the Sun's Newspapers in Education program.
For many students an experience such as the Senate page program would be a standout highlight, a unique show of initiative and accomplishment. For Hendley it's par for the course.
In June alone she participated in three prestigious programs. She spent June 5-10 in the U.S. Naval Academy summer seminar in Maryland that stresses academic, leadership and physical training programs. Two days later she scored a 31 (out of a maximum 36) on the ACT and left the next day for Kentucky Girls State, an application-only educational program that teaches students about state government. She spent five days in workshops at the University of the Cumberlands in Williamsburg hearing from speakers such as Secretary of State Trey Grayson.
To end the month she participated in the Governor's Scholars program at Murray State University with a focus on political and legal subjects.
Hendley's busy summer didn't surprise the staff at St. Mary.
"She is one of the most motivated students I have ever encountered in my 36 years employment in high school education," said Tony Burkeen, St. Mary principal. "She works diligently, is extremely responsible and would represent our region well."
The school's counselor, Dennis Griffith, also pegs Hendley as a rare type of student.
"She is one of the top 10 students I have had the privilege of working with in my 45 years of education," Griffith said.
Hendley's involvement reaches much further back than this summer. Along with being her school's yearbook editor, she launched a hunger awareness project that raised $400 for the Community Kitchen. She raised the money by convincing Burkeen to let students pay $3 to wear orange to school (St. Mary schools require uniforms) with the money going to the local kitchen.
A three-sport athlete in soccer, basketball and volleyball, Hendley is a captain for the latter two teams.
But as noticeable as her 6-foot frame, which helped her join the varsity basketball squad in middle school, are her maturity and poise.
Maybe that comes with the territory when you're in Congress for five months before you're old enough to vote.
"I think what I took the most from it was probably what I wanted to do with college and everything," Hendley said.
"I think I want to major in political science because I really found that that's what I'm passionate about."
She is still deciding where she wants to attend college with the University of Kentucky, Washington University in St. Louis and Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., as options.

The scene has come a long way in the last couple of months. Lots of hard work and tons of experimentation. Comments, criticism or thoughts on any aspect of this are welcome as always.
Playing with color:
25/5/2012: Project 'Poster Shot'
Old Screens:
So far:
- 90% custom assets,textures, etc. ( one or two placeholders here and there)
- foliage shader - utilises translucency and MassiveLod with parent meshes to blend seamlessly into the terrain (needs work)
- Water shader - almost complete; needs work (Shoreline,foam, etc)
- Post Processing -
-Custom tonemapper + contrast gradient
- vignette
-chromatic/color aberration
-color grading + LUT
- Suggestions?
More updates to come, as well as a video (Eventually), and possibly a writeup on some of the methods used to create Amazonia (once some issues are worked out and/or if the demand is there!)

Understanding Zionism through "smiling Irish eyes" in America

President Obama's choice of George Mitchell to ump the Israel/Palestine peace talks draws on Irish lessons for the Middle East.
The choice of Mitchell means Irish people are going to feel that the Middle East Peace Process is somehow their business too. [Irish Americans already feel that way, because of the American tax waterfall that pours into Israel each year.]
With the Irish involved on the outside looking-in, you'll see more Flotillas teeming with angry Irish mothers demanding medicine for the Palestinians.
One can imagine blushing Israeli soldiers with ears ringing after a good scolding from Nobel Prize winner Mairéad Corrigan.
That's why the Flotillas happen, so the press in America will react, and something can get-done by the leverage of public outrage.
Irish Americans and Jewish Americans get compared in all this, because it's about the "pull" we have in America.
Irish Americans are accused of doing for Ireland what Jewish Americans do for Israel. We are accused of meddling from arm chairs on behalf of a delusional romance.
With Mitchell and Clinton pulling an Irish déjà vu in Jerusalem, there is the temptation to continue comparing the Zionist cause in America and the Irish cause here. And there is the temptation to contrast them.
The Irish and Jews have been comparing each other to each other ever since the hordes of us started coming to the Emerald City.
The romances of Ireland and Israel have long been woven together in America, especially in New York, where the secularization of Jews and Catholics produced a kind of post-religious "typical New Yorker."
Or as Lenny Bruce put it "If you live in New York, even if you're Catholic, you're Jewish."
Despite hard-core assimilation, the Irish have continued to feel about Ireland, the way the Jews feel about Israel.
When the Irish American is tempted to identify with the Palestinians, it's the same way the Jewish American identifies with the Palestinians.
Through the riling eyes of Palestinians, Jewish and Irish American liberals can see Jewish migration from Europe to Palestine as a great injustice that dislocated native Palestinians from their land without compensation. The most vocal advocates of that interpretation are often morally-focused (self-critical) Jewish Americans.
But the Jewish exodus from Europe after World War II is also like modern mass migration today--normal and acceptable everywhere. It's hard to get outraged at Jews for migrating, when everyone does it. Getting mad at them for fleeing Germany, is like getting mad at Mexicans for crossing the border.
Israelis understand that a nation-state is a tool of survival for a tiny people in a planet of huge institutions.
If a people cannot have a homeland for themselves, they cannot steer their own destiny.
In that way, I wish Ireland were more committed to its language and culture, the way Israel is so committed, because, of the two people, the Irish seem the less likely to survive the future as a distinct people.

And one more thing regarding comments made below- I too am tired here in the US of those who take and give nothing to society. How about a 63 yr old man, working and living in public housing from before the day he was born until now and angry that his "house' is going to be torn down due to total disrepair of the apartments? Why should I support him? Welfare brood mothers are another. Pay for one on the dole, any beyond that are yours to pay for or the 'baby daddy'. Illegal immigrants - why should they get any of my hard earned money. Palestinian people have an extremely highly uneducated population due to Islam, high unemployment - one of the worlds highest - and think they need to have a dole. Let the Arab world take care of their own - and they don't for all their talk of charity.

Getting made at them(Jews) for fleeing Germany is like getting mad at Mexican for crossing hte boarder? Your joking I hope - there is no comparison. This is not a mixed metaphor - it is an abortion. When were 6 million Mexicans murdered? No one in their country is hunting them down. The exodus from Europe after WWII is nothing like the migration going on today. Migration from one country to another needs to be done with a legal process, and the Mexicans do not follow a legal process.

Can anyone explain the deep rooted anti semitisim that some of Irish heritage seem to harbor? I am talking the hatred towards Jews that filters down to Israel. Was there something in our history that the Jews perpetrated on us that I am not aware of? Did they kill my uncles, my great grandpa, did they starve my ancestors, did they look the other way during the great hunger? Did they have something to do with the trail of tears? Oswald? Pearl harbor? Cromwell?...So besides being blamed for killing Jesus, will one of you Jew haters tell me explicitly why you are this way and don't include Israels existence as your justification. tia.

There will be no peace in Israel as long as obama is in office. Now would be a good time for Israel to do what needs to be done in thier part of the world as the USA won't lift a finger until at least 2013. The sooner the better.

Brendan I cannot believe you are under the illusion that Israel will accept a Palestinian state unless they (Israel) write the rule book. They have shown no regard for Palestinians and will never agree to a solution until the U.S.A. becomes an honest broker in negotiations with both parties. The Israelis wish to create an apartheid style solution or as the former chief Rabbi(Yusef)called on God to "strike the Palestinian people with a pestilence" praying for the demise of all Palestinians,I believe it's called a holocaust. Your agreement with Corrigan at the least appears maudlin. What do you mean by "reasonable nationalism"? We had that in Ireland with Parnell's Irish parliamentary Party" A British compliant smorgasbord of the "Irish landed gentry". Maybe Abu Mazin should be quoted Burke "Concessions of the meek are concessions of fear"

seanomelbourne: The two-state solution means Palestine will be "born" at some point. Ireland and Israel were born around the same time, both anciently and in modern times. You can parallel the birth of Palestine to Ireland. You can parallel the birth of Palestine to Israel. In Ireland's existential state of crisis, it does Ireland more good to identify with the Israelis than it does with the the Palestinians who are contemplating something between reasonable nationalism and wacko jihad. Ireland can be more influential with Israel as a friend. There are inconsistencies with that position that bother me, and I will work out in time and research. But right now, identifying with the Palestinians means getting all worked up for a cause that is getting too mixed up with revolutionary forces I reject. I agree with Corrigan's humanitarian advocacy on behalf of Palestinians.

So brendin, what you just wrote completely, 180 degrees contradicts what you wrote previously: "Ireland is too poor, and too close to its own third world history, to become a welfare state for the craftier among the world's poor to target for settling." vs. your last: "The post offices are jam-packed with non-Irish people collecting Irish tax money".

Longines Column-Wheel Chronograph Watch For Winner Of Kentucky Derby
Longines - part of the Swatch Group - worked with ETA (also part of the Swatch Group) to develop a special movement for Longines that captured the classic nature of the traditional watch brand. The movement is an automatic chronograph, but one that uses a historic column-wheel transmission system in the movement. Column-wheel chronographs are those found in many of the best chronograph movements.
Set in a steel case, the Ref. L2.7184.108.40.206 Longines Column-Wheel Chronograph is extremely classic in its execution and design. The case is 39mm wide in steel, with a brown alligator strap. The exclusive movement inside of the watch is the mechanical caliber L688.2 which provides the tricompax chrono subdial layout. The dial design is extremely classic. In fact the entire watch is more or less a recreation of a classic Longines watch design. The dauphine hands have thin strips of lume, and there are applied hour and minute markers. For a bit of nostalgia the piece is very nice, price is $2,850.

Former Lancaster High School golf standout Wil Riggins posted his first-ever hole-in-one while playing the Mountaintop Golf and Lake Club in Cashiers, N.C., on Oct. 16.
Riggins' ace came on No. 14 where he used a nine-iron on the 144-yard, par-three hole.
Stretching a yellow tape measure from his desk, Lancaster County Councilman Larry Honeycutt demonstrated the significance of 20 feet.
With help from county planner Kathy Johnson, the tape measure was pulled from Honeycutt's seat to a spot near a podium during council's meeting on Monday, Dec. 9.
If you weren't able to get an Operation Christmas Child shoebox to a local designated location before the deadline, don't worry.
It's Dec. 24, 1994, and, no, I'm not longing to be up North. I'm actually longing for the Christmas Eves of so many years past.
I really can't lay claim to one particular one, but rather the hustle, bustle and excitement of preparing for last-minute trips to the mall, lunching at Pizza Hut with the cousins and seeing family crowd into a house that threatens to bust at the seams.
The Lancaster Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) is concerned about criminal activity among local youth and the affect it has on their young lives and its impact on the community.
Instead of sitting around and bemoaning the problem, the group is drawing on the organization's 104-year-old tradition of action and aims to address the problem head on.
However, they know this isn't an issue to tackle alone – it's going to take a community effort.
Eighty-four-year-old James Hagins is a retired Lancaster resident. He spends his days taking it easy, napping in his recliner when he feels like it. When he lost his wife of 60 years, Peggy, in September of 2012, he found an unusual outlet for his grief – quilting.
"My mother quilted, and with eight of us children, she definitely had help when she needed it," he said. "I didn't mind helping her, and sometimes I was the only one she would let help, because I did things the way that suited her."
If you can't make it the mountains to choose and cut your Christmas tree there's no need to worry – Lancaster County has it covered.
Papa John's Christmas Tree Farm, located at 6980 Flat Creek Road in Kershaw, offers six different varieties of trees customers can choose and cut, including Blue Ice, Carolina Sapphire, Eastern Red Cedar, Leyland Cypress, Virginia Pine and White Pine.
As December winds down, the various groups that have traditionally used the Del Webb Library at Indian Land for a meeting space are holding their last meetings there after the Lancaster County Library Board did away with after-hours public use.
While the public outrage may have simmered down some since the board approved the new policy two months ago, the issue is not completely dead.
Some group members say they still believe the decision was a mistake and hope to encourage library board members to work with them toward a solution.
When it comes to charities helping Lancaster County children living in poverty experience the joys of Christmas, few can match the reach of Christian Services' Angel Tree program.
As always, the program works by families in need signing up for an angel on an "Angel Tree." On the angel is listed both gifts the children want for Christmas and items they need such as clothes.
Lancaster City Council approved a request for police department software at the Dec. 10 meeting. However, a recommendation for a GPS tracking system for 132 city vehicles was put on hold until the first of the year.
Lancaster Police Chief Harlean Howard made a request to purchase "booking" software for $26,000. She said the software will help the police department keep track of the number of arrests of an individual and is necessary to be compliant with state records requirements.

The Government Accountability Board offer more information about absentee voting by clicking here.
More than 412,000 voters have requested absentee ballots in Wisconsin as the deadline to vote early approaches.
The state elections board reported Thursday that 412,000 absentee ballots had been requested. That includes more than 256,000 requested by people in clerks' offices during the in-person early voting time that started last week and ends Friday, November 2 at 5 pm.
However, to vote absentee by mail you must request an application to your city clerk by 5 pm on November 1. The ballot must be postmarked by November 6, but will be counted if your clerk receives it by November 9.
If you are already a registered voter, you can go to your city clerk's office and request to vote absentee. Ballots cannot leave the building and must completed while you are there.
Experts say one of the biggest benefits to voting early is having more flexibility for time.
The Government Accountability Board had no comparable number to compare with 2008. Board spokesman Reid Magney cautioned that many more absentee ballots had been requested but not yet reported.
A final tally of absentee voting numbers won't be available until after the election.
Wausau City Clerk Toni Rayala says 30 percent of voters are expected to vote by absentee ballot this year.

- Continually trying to answer the question...can a man of few words write a successful novel?
I'm a Mystery/Thriller/Suspense writer from small town USA who struggles everyday to balance my passion for prose against the need to be a full-time bread winner. Finding ways to devote more time to my writing is the challenge, but for now all I can do is follow this tug at my heart to wherever it leads. I'm here primarily to soak up all the knowledge I can from the writing-centric blogosphere, but I'll do my best to contribute by thinking of new and innovative ways to churn the writing pot.

Do You Have the Courage?
This is my November submission for Alex J. Cavanaugh's Insecure Writers Support Group. For those NaNo-nites out there reading...happy writing!
Do you have the courage to sing along with your favorite song…even when you're listening on headphones in a crowded room?
Do you have the courage to wear in public what's comfortable…not necessarily fashionable?
When faced with choosing between the popular path and one less traveled, do you have the courage to make a trail of your own?
You may trust your instincts, even your judgment, but do you have the courage to trust your emotions?
Do you have the courage to speak up for those who are afraid or unable, to speak for themselves?
Do you have the courage to admit that sometimes there is a difference between being wrong…and not being right?
Do you have the courage to realize that a single friend willing to stand by you through thick and thin is worth a 1000 Facebook friends?
If you're comfortable with your body and your health, do you have the courage to order desert when everyone else declines?
If you have children, do you have the courage to let them learn from their own mistakes?
Do you have the courage to admit to your parents that you made a mistake?
Do you have the courage to realize that doing something for yourself, isn't always selfish?
If you come across a stranger who looks to be having a terrible day, do you have the courage to give them hug and bring a smile to their face?
When you're told that "shit happens", do you have the courage to reply with "not to those who pay attention."
Although today's pain may be unbearable, do you have the courage to let it become tomorrow's strength?
Do you have the courage…to question someone else's?
Finally...you need to know that your passage to eventual publication is fraught with rejection, ridicule, up-turned noses, crushing setbacks, self-doubt, self-loathing, frazzled nerves, agonizing waits, and paralyzing second-guessing. Do you have the courage?

Very nice post. It did make me think. Sometimes, I have courage for certain things. Some things I don't ever have courage for. Right now, I'm taking the risk of self-publication...so we'll see. So far I've had the courage to begin. The fear hasn't quite set in yet because I've been busy editing and learning to market myself. But last night, the fear started creeping in, and, well, I don't want to hi-jack your post, but I'm sure I'll blog about it at some point. Thanks for the thought-provoking post.
ReplyDeleteWow. Great post- great things to think about. I'd like to say that yes, I have the courage for most of the questions, but I know that isn't true. It totally takes courage to do the writing thing...there are still people who I haven't even told. Guess I should claim victory over that first.
ReplyDeleteVery encouraging post about having courage. I couldn't help giggling to myself when I thought about your first one: "Do you have the courage to sing along with your favorite song…even when you're listening on headphones in a crowded room?"
Why no, not sing, but I'll hum the heck out of it :-)

Nothing to complain about
Loved the pool area and fire pits. Location was also good. Clean public restrooms. Amble seating.
Small bathroom. Could have provided more towels. Only provided two ea of bath, face, and wash cloth. Also, the pool bar closed too early (10:00 p.m. last call). It would have been nice to be able to purchase a night cap at the pool after being out for the evening.
Great location, close to water, and shopping.
The self-parking (South Tower) was challenging. Few spaces and never could get real close to the hotel, which was a problem when we had numerous shopping bags to transport.
Everything!!!! Amazing resort!
Everything was wonderful
Nice, superb view, good breakfasts,
you feel like they want to charge you for everything, internet, receving letter, parking triple the price with accross the street
Big swimming pool. Nice brekfast. profishinal staff.
Although the window was closed you still can hear the sounds fro outside.
The entire facility its great the pool area, the bar, the marina kitchen,the room end de service. Everything was excellent..
No comment.
The facility was in a good location and the facilities were nice. The food that we got on-site was very good. Staff was friendly - very busy weekend.
The elevators were not sufficient during high traffic (checkout) times. Had to wait for 8 elevators and all were full - had to carry our bags down the emergency exit stairs. Also, the valet was very slow - 2x I called ahead and they didn't have my car for over 30 minutes - had to check back repeatedly. Staff was nice, but not competent.
The Staff were so friendly, the food was Great, l could not say a bad thing about the Marriott.
check out
LOVED the balcony overlooking both the harbor and the city. Location was great; across the street from the trolley, easy walking distance from shopping. Pool area was nice.
The buffet breakfast was outstanding as was the view from our room. Very clean and modern rooms.
The bed was very uncomfortable. We expected a bed of much higher quality in line with the rest of the hotel. The staff at the front desk were not very helpful when asked for advice on visiting local attractions. We were disappointed that we had to pay for Wi-Fi - not what you would expect from such a superior hotel.
Loved the Hotel ambiance, location,pool and grounds are spectacular. Pool staff and outdoor bar staff were professional and helpful. Wonderful experience.
Desk staff member informed me at check in there was not a choice of bed size because I booked through this site. This did not make much sense as I indicated my preference when booking. Oh well. I was somewhat irritated, however, they were extremely busy. I know this may seem stupid,but it made me feel less important and not as desired as other guests.
Great discounts and facilities location perfect
The parking fee is very expensive.

Now you can play maraca with your foot!
First it was cowbells, then blocks, then tambourines. Now LP's Fusheki lets drummers and percussionists play the soft shaker sound of a maraca with their feet. When attached to an LP388N Gajate Foot Pedal Bracket (447710, sold separately) or LP388M Multi Stem Bracket (584575, sold separately) the cleverly designed Fusheki allows the mountable maraca to be played using a standard bass drum pedal (sold separately). The sound is created on the forward and backward strokes.
The black plastic maraca body is threaded to a metal base that includes a beater shaft for insertion into the bass drum pedal. By unscrewing the body from this base, the player can change the fill material within the maraca in order to produce different sounds.
The assembly in which the maraca moves features specially engineered bumpers to eliminate audible shell impact—thus producing only the maraca sound. It's also adjustable in length to establish an even distance between front and rear strikes.
Whether you're seated behind a drumkit or atop a cajon, the LP Fusheki will help you add a subtle percussive nuance to your playing. So step on it, and start things shaking.
Sound like a whole percussion section!

Not for YouPros: Lightweight; good name Cons: These headphones have a tinny sound, poorly constructed jack, and are downright uncomfortable Other Thoughts: Look around for another product. I figured I couldn't go wrong with Koss, but maybe it's been too long since I owned a pair of Koss headphones. Was terribly disappointed, but should have known better, given the price.

Hawaiian Shrimp Scampi (Garlic Butter Shrimp)
August 1st, 2013Recipes, American Recipes, Recipes25 CommentsRecently on social media, Hawaiian-style shrimp scampi or garlic butter shrimp photos keep popping up on my feeds. Some photos are my friend's vacation photos as they chowed down on the world's famous Giovanni's shrimp scampi, while others are recipes and videos of copycat recipes of this delicacy.
The more I look at the photos and recipes, the more I am craving for the luscious, buttery, and lip-smacking Giovanni's shrimp scampi that I had 4 years ago while we vacationed in Oahu. I had to fix it. As I couldn't just pack up my luggage and hop on the plane to paradise island, I had to do something about my hunger and intense craving. So, I gathered all the ingredients—a short list of essentials that most people have at home—and cooked up a storm yesterday. The end result: one pound of buttery, garlicky, yummy shrimp goodness laid out on a piece of parchment paper on my patio table. I was enjoying the gorgeous day, soaking in the warmth of sunshine, and downing the shrimp with a bottle of cold beer. Ahhhh, it was as if I was transported to Kahuku, the north shore of Oahu island, where the legendary shrimp truck is.
For my Hawaiian shrimp scampi recipe, I referred to the menu of Giovanni's above, which stated the key ingredients of olive oil, garlic, lemon/butter. I also checked out this recipe and then created my own recipe, based on this photo that I captured during the trip.
Anyway, here is the side-by-side comparison. The left photo is the original. Even though my version is not 100% identical, I got my shrimp scampi to taste as close as Giovanni's. I was very happy with my Hawaiian shrimp scampi recipe. If you have tried the original, I strongly urge you to try my interpretation. If you haven't been, you should totally try it, too, as this is a perfect summer dish to share and enjoy with your friends and family. You should also check out this summertime peel and eat shrimp. Happy eating!

The shrimp looks amazing! My mouth is watering. Thanks for the post!
1Just for grins – ingredients list squirts of lemon juice, but description said lime. which is correct?
2They look amazing. Do you eat the shells? I know at times the shells are so soft you can actually eat them whole instead of peeling them and losing some of the yummy ingredients.
4This looks so yummy. Drove by Giovanni's last month – but didn't stop since we had just eaten at Ted's Bakery.
5will this receipe work for peeled shrimp (no shell or tail on)?
7Now if we could just get the recipe for their hot sauce!
9I want to make this so bad! On Saturday I will. I must!
11This looks lip-smackingly delicious! Shrimp is quite costly here though, would it be possible to do the same with, say, chicken?
12Hi Rasa, Thank u so much 4 this recipe ~ I'll be visiting
this link more often ….Again, Thank U :)
13This looks absolutely delicious! I didn't get a chance to go to Giovanni's when I was in Oahu, but it will be a must visit on my next trip.
I'm going to attempt to make the shrimp w/out the shell…hopefully, it'll turn out.
14Hi, i would like to ask a question , i dont have any white wine , so what other ingredients i need to use to subtitute the white wine?
16can i use Sake instead of white wine?
18Do I have to add the white wine, or can I just leave it out of the recipe, or will that affect the whole entire recipe?
19This recipe looks awesome. It's going to be featured on my table and my blog this weekend.
Thanks Bee.
21Just got back from Hawaii. Tried Giovanni's shrimp scampi and it was delicious. Tried your reipe today and it tastes exactly liked it. Definitely will make many more times and invite family and friends to try it. Thank you!
22Thank you for this recipe! I made it tonight and it was delicious!!

This is a dress I made for the "prom" (although it's not really the same thing here in France), like my Green dress
I used two different patterns : Burda 7713 for the top, and neue mode stil 23254 for the skirt.
The fabric is a glittery black jersey, so cute!
One of my friends kept telling me all night I looked like Betty Boop, I was so flattered, so now that's what it's called!
I also made a small purse in the matching fabric with silver ribbon, but I lost it.
Jersey, invisible zipper (side).

Bob Dylan's Art To Go On Display In London
Filed under: Celebrity Shopping, Art
We mentioned Bob Dylan's career as an artist a few years back but the musician's first ever show of his works on canvas will open on Saturday February 13 at the Halycon Gallery in London. The new work represents his artistic journey from the drawings in The Drawn Blank Series to works on paper and now finally to canvas. The Drawn Blank Series of drawings and sketches were also gathered into a book.
The paintings are based on drawings and sketches made while he was on the road during the period of 1989 - 1992. In a press release Dylan said of his own work, "I just draw what's interesting to me, and then I paint it" and says that he can find inspiration anywhwere. His work, which includes both landscapes and personal scenes, contains some of the same everyday poetry aspect that his songs also capture. The show will run through April 10.
[via ArtDaily]
Christie's to Auction Dylan Poem (by Hank Snow)
Filed under: Auctions
Christie's is ready to auction a handwritten poem by singer Bob Dylan. An interesting find, the piece is said to have come from the hand of the teenager who later became the legend. There's only one problem: Dylan's hand, Snow's words.
The "poem" is based heavily on the song "Little Buddy" by Canadian country singer (didn't know there was such a thing) Hank Snow, who died in 1999 at the age of 85. The similarities eluded experts at Christie's. At one point in his career, Snow was known as the "Yodeling Ranger." A Reuters reader gets credit for the discovery, which the news organization then passed along to the auction house.
Dylan wrote transcribed this piece while away at Jewish camp when he was 16 years old. He submitted it to the camp newspaper for publication, and the editor held the handwritten piece for more than half a century before donating it to Herzl Camp in Wisconsin.
This piece is nonetheless believed to be the oldest Dylan manuscript and will be offered at the June 23, 2009 Pop Culture auction. An estimate of $10,000 to $15,000 has been offered.

$25,000 Bob Dylan Harmonicas
Filed under: Art, Holiday Guides, Men's Style
In a way, this is your chance to sort-of-almost kiss Bob Dylan. In case you wanted to do that.
Hohner is the manufacturer of these luxury harmonicas. They've been making musical instruments for 151 years, so these harmonicas are definitely not just for show; they are top of the line "blues harps." Hohner claims to have had a "special relationship" with Dylan over the years.
$25,000 will get you a set of five harmonicas hand-signed by Bob Dylan, or you can purchase an individual one (still comes in a nice box) for $5,000. These are, naturally, limited edition, and may sell out before the holiday.
The Hohner Bob Dylan Marine Band Harmonicas are available only from Sam Ash.
