"Great Rooms and Value for 5 star experience"
The JW Marriott is a very impressive hotel. I have travelled around the world and this is by far the best hotel I've stayed at. The staff was accomodating in all our needs, the rooms were spacious, the restaurants and amenities were wonderful. The only complaint we had with the hotel is that they charge for internet service, if you're already paying […] a decent price for the hotel room free wifi should be inclusive. Even at the most basic hotels in the States wifi is free. Overall though it was a great experience and I would reccomend this hotel to anyone. IzvērstPatiesa Hotels.com viesa atsauksme

The hotel is new in good condition at this time, but it is very busy. Room is clean and good , but lenin are of medium quality. Service is ok. The best of this hotel.

"Great but needs some work"
The rooms were high quality and comfortable. They need to work out the kinks though. Our TV did not work for the first 3 days we were there, we called them 4 times and all they did was reboot the TV after we waited 30-45 minutes for someone to show up. The lifts are slow, I do not think there is a service lift as I kept getting in lifts with racks of […] luggage. The light switches are all over the place, turn a bathroom light on and it turns on the lamps at the desk. Also a great idea to get some light in to the bathroom with glass between the room and the bathroom but what happens when you have a guest come to the room or you need to go to the bathroom when your partner is sleeping. I will stay there again knowing all this in the hope that they are working on the issues. IzvērstPatiesa Hotels.com viesa atsauksme

"JW Marriott as expected"
Marquis is a core value JW Marriott - well organised (never lines for check in or out), well maintained (probably quite new), comfortable (good size rooms and bathrooms) and clean. It is a bit pricey, though nothing exceptional and providing good value for money. Their location is a bit off, about 5-10 mins from nearest metro Business Bay, but they […] provide shuttle to Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa, and taxis are cheap in Dubai. A gem - they have a discrete pub with rugby telly (as non-Muslim traveller to Dubai you can buy pork but not beer in a shop). IzvērstPatiesa Hotels.com viesa atsauksme

lovely hotel, but during my stay (week over the Xmas and new year) I had to speak to the manger 3 times, all to do the level of service. first call because they did not transfer my child bed (as I upgraded to the suite), second call to do with false claim of by the reception staff of 24 hour available food at the excutive lounge which turned out to […] be not true ( more training needed!) and the thrid time, the room was not cleaned probably and to even after the complain still the cleaning service was not up to our expectation.

"A great hotel in a really good location"
This hotel might be the best hotel I have ever stayed in. The location is really close to the Burj Khalifa (walking distance on New Years Eve otherwise a short cab and really close the train) and in general centrally located. The housekeeping was immaculate, they were constantly cleaning the floors, dusting everything, it was amazing. The rooms were […] very large and for a standard room to have a stand alone bath tub and shower (massive rain shower head) is also really nice. The pool area was nice and the staff was great. The restauarants that we used were really good too. The only negative is the breakfast buffet which is a site to see is unecessarily overpriced. IzvērstPatiesa Hotels.com viesa atsauksme
"Most Awful Staff"
I booked one night here to see the New Year eve celebration in Dubai. To start off, check-in was painful! It took more than 45 minutes. The receptionist (I believe her name was Atun or something like that) was so impolite and not professional. She snatched the passports, photocopied them, tossed them back at me! Not even a Here you are! You don't even […] expect this to happen in a 3 star hotel, not a 5 star one and let alone a big name like the Marriott. Before we arrived, the G.M. promised me in an email an extra bed free of charge. On the Hotels.com booking, I also indicated that I wanted a Smoking Room. Take a wild guess. There was no extra bed, and no Smoking Rooms. I asked politely: "Why? these are in the booking, which was done more than 5 weeks ahead of time" She said, "Don't you know which day is today? It is New Year's Eve!" I didn't want to reply saying, "And you are spoiling it"! Anyway, I talked to the Duty Manager. He promised to send me an extra bed. I had to leave the room, so I told him, when the bed arrives, they can put it there. We came back late after the fireworks, and Yes, it is true. No bed. I called and had to explain the whole story, and the person who answered said: "I will check". One hour later, nothing happened. I called again. A woman told me that there are no more extra beds. I told her -firmly this time- that the G.M and the Duty Manager promised me that. She finally sent one. That was past 3:00 a.m.!! Full of lying and lack of hospitality!

"World Class Icon"
The most impressive hotel I have stayed at world-wide. Every staff member that I encountered gave me a warm, welcoming, interested in me attitude that gave the hotel a "personality", that can be described as that of a cool, modern best friend. For example, when I was dining at one of the restaurants, I mentioned to my client how they didn't have a certain […] type of juice on the menu. One of the staff was walking by, who was not assigned to my table, overheard me, and within 4 minutes handed me the juice which she obtained from another restaurant on the other side of the hotel. All without me asking. Another example is how a greeting staff member inquired about my return to the airport. I told him I was going to leave from Abu Dhabi. He arranged a driver to take me all the way there from Dubai, and called the driver's cell phone 5 hours after his shift was finished to make sure I was picked up and on my way! And if you want to get a taxi from the hotel, you are out of luck - because there are no taxis - just a brand new fleet of 25 Lexus sedans that take you wherever you want to go for approximately the same price as a taxi! Finally, the rooms are large, modern, very stylish and quiet. Combined with the other accoutrements, this hotel can brand itself as world-class (and as you'll see - addictive.) Looking for to staying there again in a couple of months. IzvērstPatiesa Hotels.com viesa atsauksme

"Great value for money"
The hotel was brand new when I stayed there (1 or 2 weeks old). Everything was in minty condition, except for the A/C fan which made some annoying noises. The staff is nice but can get pretentious as they are trying too hard to be a 5 star luxury hotel but they don't seem to have hired 5 star luxury staff. It requires a different mindset and training. The […] rooms are super spacious with a large bathroom, even though we stayed in the basic guest room. The lobby was very spacious but not cozy at all. Only 44 or 45 floors were commissioned at the time of our stay. Even though the hotel customer service failed to point that out despite that I have asked them if the hotel is completely ready.

R/P ratio (years) |

Kazakhstan has substantial resources of natural gas and may well become a major player on the world stage. The chief discovery so far has been the giant Karachaganak field, located in the north of Kazakhstan, near the border with the Russian Federation. Another major field is Tengiz, close to the north-east coast of the Caspian Sea.
The level of proved reserves adopted for the present Survey is based upon the figure quoted by the Government of Kazakhstan as 'approved extracting stocks', which could be construed as equivalent to proved recoverable reserves. Lower levels are given by published compilations of reserves data: Cedigaz 1 900 bcm, OAPEC and OGJ 1 841 bcm (although OGJ has raised its assessment to
2 832 bcm as at 1 January 2007).

Probably be ok with diesel from a few years back, but the new diesel is supposedly not as lubricating with the low sulfur. Probably better off using an additive if you want to clean out your engine and add lubrication.

09-17-2013, 03:37 PM #13Ethanol is a natural cleaning agent, so you don't really need to worry about adding diesel as a means to clean the fuel pump and injectors. Petroleum is also a natural lubricant, and how the fuel pump is normally lubricated. If you want additional cleaning and lubrication, then a standard cleaner/lube mix-in like the ones from Lucas or STP will generally suffice. If you want to add additional lubrication, to make up for the loss of any lubrication in a 10% ethanol mix, or with E85, then adding in some "top end lube" wouldn't be a bad idea. All the drag racers running methanol or ethanol, have to run it to help out with lubrication as the alcohol doesn't lube as well as gasoline does.
09-17-2013, 03:42 PM #14This is true. But, ethanol also causes corrosion. You are correct that you can use a STP or Lucas additive. But, TC-W3 2 cycle is much cheaper to use. I bought a gallon of it for $22. I have used it with every fill up for the last 6 months and I am barely half thru the gallon. You can get it cheaper if you don't buy the synthetic. I think that I saw somewhere that walmart has it for $14 a gallon.

Yeah, on first thought there is something to this ... but I wouldn't do it to any vehicle of mine.
@tbplus10 is right. Diesel and some of the fuel system cleaners do have a common origin, but I would want to talk to a chemical engineer before I would recommend this. Plus, why not just get one of the tried-and-true cleaners like SeaForm or RXP instead of trying to figure out the proper way to dilute it?

text: Home Culture Will Real Race-Baiters Please Stand Up? As GOP leaders sweep the latest Rev. Jeremiah Wright flap under the rug, racial politics thrive. By: Edward Wyckoff Williams Posted: May 23 2012 12:06 AM 0 Reince Priebus (Scott Olson/Getty); Barack Obama (John Gress/Getty);Joe Ricketts (Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty) When it comes to the dark history of racial politics in America, the modern-day Republican Party constitutes a case study in cognitive dissonance. Reince Priebus, current chairman of the Republican National Committee, recently blamed President Barack Obama for GOP operatives' race-baiting methods. Yes, you read correctly: Priebus blames Obama for the racist tactics used by Republicans. The irony inherent in such a premise is so ridiculous that it amounts to intellectual malfeasance. During an interview with CNN's Candy Crowley on State of the Union last Sunday, Priebus answered questions about the plans of a conservative super PAC to use race-infused ads featuring President Obama's former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, as a means to sway voters in the upcoming 2012 election. Instead of addressing the issue with the dignity of a statesman, Priebus resorted to hyperbole. "I know how it works. It's the Democrats and Barack Obama that want the story out there. He wants the story to play out in the media," Priebus said. "This president's got a bigger problem, and his problem is, no matter what he puts out there, no matter what distractions he puts out there, he can't change the truth and escape the reality of where we are in this American economy." As head of the RNC, Priebus sets the message and tone, so his apparent disconnect from reality on the sensitive issue of racism concerned Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.), chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus. "I don't understand how you can blame the target and still believe you speak with any degree of logic," Cleaver told The Root. "The issue of race has already raised its unprincipled head. I guess this year Republicans are going to blame President Obama for being black -- which generated the proposed ad. There are gasoline-toting individuals out there, waiting to start a fire. These Neanderthals are going to be used by people who know better, and that's the sad part about this. They are Paleolithic politicians who know that race-baiting still works." Melanie Roussell, press secretary for the Democratic National Committee, described Priebus' statement as "awfully rich." "There is actual evidence in the proposal commissioned by Joe Ricketts that he specifically dedicated $10 million to negative adverts," she told The Root. "And while Mitt Romney gave a very tepid repudiation, I've not heard [Chairman Preibus] repudiate these attacks at all. I'd like to hear if Priebus thinks there is a place in our political discourse for this kind of character assassination." Like The Root on Facebook. Follow us on Twitter. The proposal in question, put together by infamous GOP media strategist Fred Davis, is called "The Defeat of Barack Hussein Obama." It came to light through a New York Times investigative report that revealed the strategy of the GOP-aligned Ending Spending Action Fund, a super PAC backed by TD Ameritrade founder and former CEO Joe Ricketts, a billionaire whose family holdings include the Chicago Cubs. Ricketts, a longtime supporter of conservative candidates, has pledged $10 million for an anti-Obama attack-ad campaign and has given money to every single 2012 GOP presidential candidate. The proposal claims that the president misled the nation by presenting himself as a "metrosexual, black Abe Lincoln" and suggests hiring an "extremely literate, conservative African American" to be used as a pawn and media surrogate for the GOP, attacking the president throughout the 2012 election cycle. It calls for running commercials linking Obama to incendiary comments made by his former pastor -- whose race-infused sermons made Wright a polarizing figure in the 2008 campaign.

As the Wagner family celebrated the 40th anniversary of Caymus Vineyards in 2012, they thought back to 1972 which Charlie Wagner, Lorna Belle Glos Wagner and their son, Chuck, built their winery among the vines planted on the family's ranch in Rutherford, California - the center of the Napa Valley. In 1975, the Wagners produced their first Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon, which remains the only wine to have twice been named Wine Spectator's "Wine of the Year" (1984 and 1990 vintage).
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right.

Stating, in general and not entirely correct terms how something currently is (ignoring history) doesn't tell you anything about how things ought to be. Or could be. Why on earth should comics companies own works they didn't create AS A RULE? Novel publishers don't. Why should comics companies?
So much of this is JUST that very thing. Fans who want their comics (almost exclusively superheroes) and don't care about anything else. And your "morals" just get in the way of that, so you must be stupid, or ignorant.
Sometimes, I want this industry to die just to piss them off.
Only when it was a promise/stand they took that was key to their election.
He took his dream job, writing Superman, but once he did, he found he couldn't live with it. There's like a zillion tv shows and movies with this exact plot.Dude sold out his morals and now wants to make a stand on those same morals. No matter how you try to slice it, while the message in itself may have resonance, it feels trite for HIM to be making such a glorious show of things and suddenly standing as some form of avatar for creator's rights. And indeed, if this wasn't his intention....well, he didn't have to go about this in such a public manner, did he?
He didn't do it in such a public manner - he did it over twitter, the same place he has been consistently knocking DC over these very issues without any public reaction. How was he to know this time would be any different?
He's a guy who took a job with a company, and then decided he couldn't reconcile himself with some things that company has done. Remember, when he was writing Superman, he didn't know of Before Watchmen.
What contracts?
There were no contracts.
Back of the check contracts are shoddy - you've got to sign away your rights after you've done the work, to get the money for said work. And again, at the recent trial, Marvel couldn't produce any check with a contract from the early days with Kirby, let alone one signed by Kirby. The artists who gave testimony against Marvel said the contracts got put on the checks at a later date, and that none of them heard of Work For Hire until much later.What really gets me is that under US copyright law, the Kirby estate should be legally able to terminate their half of the copyrights. The checks Marvel sent to Kirby also included a provision on the back whereby endorsing it he gave up all rights forever. Some judges have tossed those out for being not legally binding. At this point, Marvel could just act like an adult and settle with the Kirby estate. But instead, they are going to fight tooth and nail to avoid giving the estate of the guy who built their company his due.
The court ruled in favour of the Siegels on copyright termination. DC responded by launching a lawsuit against the Siegels lawyer - delaying their need to pay/reach agreeement, and also opening them up to get it so that the ruling in the Siegels family favour isn't binding.It's the same with DC and Siegel and Schuster. Under US law, they should able to terminate the copyright on the content of Action #1 and a few other stories. But DC won't settle with them, or reach a deal. They are going to fight them tooth and nail, even though this property has made them rich.

I'm still confused on how it was damning proof, but basically, the agreements Kirby signed in the 70's saying it was Work For Hire. Here's an only slightly confusing explanation of how it went down./
I believe these were the documents he signed to get the money that had been promised him as part of the Captain America settlement.*
The Kirby's are appealing the decision.
* The article linked to says the signed declarations are from 1972 and 1975. I thought it was 1969 and 1972 he signed them - the first time in an agreement as part of the Joe Simon lawsuit for Captain America (Jack thought he'd get a fair chunk of change for signing ownership to Marvel, but was only rewarded a small amount), and a second time in 1972, when Martin Goodman sold the company, he signed again in exchange for actually getting the money he had been promised the first time he signed.
I may be confused on the dates though, or getting different contracts mixed up in my head.
Interestingly enough, in the 80's, when Marvel was procrastinating over returning artwork to Kirby that was legally he is, they tried to get him to sign a third agreement that they owned everything, which he refused to do as it was for artwork Marvel had no right to be holding.
Back then, Marvel obviously didn't think the other two retroactive agreements were solid enough... and y'know, if everything was all above board, why did they keep needing Kirby to sign documents saying it was all theirs?
Comic companies generally own the works because they're the ones hiring the artists and writers, right? They're putting the money forward because they want content to publish under their umbrella, not the other way around. It's just like being hired to do any other creative job as far as I'm concerned. If you want to create an original work instead of playing in somebody else's sandbox, you self publish or pitch and hope something hits which leaves you with enough slack. That seems pretty fair to me.
As for your novel comparison, don't forget there's aspiring writers out there penning articles for company owned papers, magazines and blogs to pay the bills too.

Well man, I assumed that when you were quoting me, and then commenting that my quote is why "(some people)" will see comics as escapist b.s., that you were talking about me personally as well as people of my ilk. I guess I was mistaken. however, It is funny that you say it's as though people dont even read what is in front of them, because I thought the same about you. I dont need to be directed to additional articles about him because, like I said, the majority of articles that I have been reading have been pandering to him. I feel that I have a fairly complete picture of his side of the argument. I have not heard a lot from DC, I have heard a lot from fanboys who pretend to be contract lawyers, but that just isn't quite the same. I think we are both guilty of misreading each others posts, and I would be willing to bet our opinions do not differ all that much. As you can see by the number of posts I have made, I am new here, and I'm not really trying to make any enemies or upset any apple-carts.
From reading that it sounds like one of the big points of conention is whether Kirby was coming up material on his own and then pitching it, so to speak, to Marvel and Stan Lee, or whether he was just doing what he was told. Every story of the history of Marvel comics or how the classic Marvel comics were written tells us that Kirby came up with a lot of ideas independent of Stan. For Smiling Stan to state that, contrary to everything he's ever said, that Kirby was just a hatchet man who did what he was told is obviously a lie.

Actually, the only way you get to own something someone one else wrote is with a contract stating that - that's what is standard in 'any other creative job'.
As has been mentioned, in the case of Kirby, there doesn't seem to be a contract, and with Moore, he was lied to about what the contract did, and what the companies intentions were.
Neither Kirby or Moore were pitching for someone else's sandbox, were they? They were creating sandboxes, that others then claimed ownership of.If you want to create an original work instead of playing in somebody else's sandbox, you self publish or pitch and hope something hits which leaves you with enough slack. That seems pretty fair to me.
I know you aren't specifically talking about their cases, but that is why Roberson quit.
There is a difference between an article, and a work of fiction.As for your novel comparison, don't forget there's aspiring writers out there penning articles for company owned papers, magazines and blogs to pay the bills too.
Also, the writers of those articles? They have more protections and ownership than most comic book creators.
Assuming that Marvel and DC operate like other creative enterprises, or that they operated 'all above board', shows some gaps in your knowledge of comic book history.
The thing about comics, and comic publishing is that it spun out of the pulp magazines of the 20s and 30s, not the book publishing industry. The format they followed in those days was 'work for hire' where the magazines owned the stories they commissioned. Since then the comic industry has found this format lucrative, especially when the age of the shared universe came about, because it meant they could easily stock their respective worlds with characters that they could pull out and use as needed to drive sales. These shared universe concepts don't work when you don't own all the characters. So the work-for-hire practice has stuck for as long as the bulk of comic creations is tied to shared universes. If it wasn't for the Marvel and DC universes and the nessisity to tie eveything together as a single sellable package, the comic industry might have managed to outgrow this.

Sky View Parc, Flashy Comes To Flushing
The Flushing, Queens area of New York is getting a bunch of high-end condominiums. The Sky View Parc will include three towers so far and the plans of developer Jason Muss call for six towers total with 1,100 homes. The bottom floors will be given over to a mall's worth of retail space which may end up including large chains such as Traget, Home Depot, Staples and Bed, Bath and Beyond. The complex is across from Citi Field, the new home to the Mets as of 2009. The first condos went on sale last month and sell are priced between $395,000 and more than $2 million. The developer reports that of the first 160 apartments, more than 50 have been sold. Move-in is scheduled for July 2009.

"Blue Eyes"
Description from MoonBell: I have two beautiful children, one girl and one boy. They both inherited their father's blue eyes. My daughter has eyes like the turquoise water of the Caribbean with flecks as white as the froth on waves, and her personality is just as vibrant. My son has the blue-gray eyes of the contemplative sea, and he, at 8 months old, does just that, he watches life around him and smiles. And when I look in those blue, blue eyes, my heart swells, and then melts like the waves retreating from the shore.

We're from Green Bay and yet ordered this on-line - it was the perfect one for our westie - showing his "true" colors; some of the other GB Packer collars seem a little gaudy - we wanted one that had more of the green. Thank you for offering this product, the great customer service and the fast shipping.
Need I say any more??? It says Packers that's enough. It is nice and small. Most of the NFL collars are way to big for my puppy. This one just fits.

The School Nutrition Foundation (SNF), in partnership with the School Nutrition Association (SNA), and the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), is hosting a FREE Webinar Wednesday with a webinar entitled: "The New School Meal Patterns: What You Need to Know." The archive of the webinar is posted below.
Since January 2011, when USDA issued proposed meal patterns calling for more produce and whole grains and less sodium and calories in school meals, school nutrition professionals have eagerly awaited the final regulations and clarity on what changes they must make to school menus to meet the new standards. During this webinar, members will learn what the final regulation entails, and how the new standards differ from current requirements.
The webinar is moderated by Cindy Brooks, Chair of the School Nutrition Association Public Policy & Legislation Committee with guest speakers Sam Kass, White House Assistant Chef and Senior Policy Advisor for Healthy Food Initiatives, Dr. Janey Thornton, PhD, SNS, Deputy Under Secretary for Food, Nutrition, and Consumer Services at USDA; and Melissa Rothstein, Deputy Director, Child Nutrition Programs at USDA.

Progress in Fiji
Scattered across roughly 1.3 million square kilometers of the South Pacific, the Fijian Archipelago encompasses one of the most extensive coral reef systems in the world. The rich biodiversity of marine life in this area is one of the most important reasons that CORAL chose to focus our project work in the Fijian communities of Namena and Waitabu. CORAL has provided training for local tourism businesses, which is helping community members improve their business practices, reduce anchor damage to the reef, and educate visitors about environmentally responsible tourism. By demonstrating how the development of well-managed marine protected areas can benefit the overall community, CORAL facilitated the establishment of no-take marine reserves that are improving the health and resiliency of the reefs. Along with our local partners, CORAL is making real progress toward the creation of sustainable coral reefs and communities in Fiji.

Reef Threats & Progress
Too Popular? The incomparable beauty of Fiji's coral reefs has garnered attention from tourists and developers around the globe. When uncontrolled tourism and coastal development increase, the reefs suffer. When these practices are combined with existing threats like climate change and overfishing, the situation becomes dangerous to reef survival. CORAL works with local community members, government leaders, and marine recreation providers to develop community-based sustainable tourism practices that raise the local standard of living and provide alternative revenue streams that protect, rather than endanger, this vital resource.
Read more about the threats & progress »
Our Partners in Fiji
CORAL's partner organizations and businesses in Fiji strengthen and complement our programs. Marine recreation partners have been trained in best environmental practices by CORAL and have demonstrated an ongoing commitment to marine conservation and the local communities.

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- While the investigation continues into the Aurora theater shooting, local gun clubs are seeing more members.
Whistling Pines Gun Club said their average weekend membership tripled this past weekend.
The numbers go hand-in-hand with data from the Colorado Bureau of Investigations which showed more than 1,200 background checks for gun purchases were conducted the Friday of the shooting, 300 more than the week before.
"It's one thing to be a target but another to have a chance to fire back and stop the nonsense," Robert Holmes, the Whistling Pine Gun Club owner, said.
More and more women are registering for gun club cards. Of the approximately 2,000 members of Whistling Pines Gun Club, 25 percent are women.
One woman was with her two young girls giving them lessons in gun safety.
"We didn't want them growing up thinking only bad things happen with guns," Meghan Workmann, a gun club member, said.
Those lessons will hopefully keep them aware and better prepared if ever caught in the middle of a deadly situation.

SMF Development > Bug Reports
Cleanup this board
--- Quote from: live627 on May 28, 2011, 09:10:31 PM ---It's not easy to check these reports against their related issue in Mantis if half or more are private :P
--- End quote ---
There is no "half of them". Most of the tracked issues and tracked features/plans are publicly visible, currently.
I have made the 2.1 project publicly accessible months ago. That means SMF 1.1, SMF 2.0, SMF Tools and SMF 2.1 are publicly accessible projects in the tracker.
I believe there is a "Saguaro" project that isn't public - yet. It is more in the future, though, and it basically tracks features or enhancements or revamps proposed for the (farther) future.
In any case, its accessibility will change after 2.0 final, along with many other things to open SMF development to the community, including planning/roadmaps for any versions.
--- Quote ---I believe there is a "Saguaro" project that isn't public
--- End quote ---
Maybe that's what I was hitting?
Joshua Dickerson:
There are still hundreds of untracked bugs. Please help us by confirming or denying that they still exist in the current stable version (on unmodded forums).
I like numbers, so just for fun I'm fixing these figures. :)
Total topics in the board: 421
Redirects: 43
Stickies: 2
Tracked: 57
15.2 % of the reported bugs are confirmed and tracked.
Joshua Dickerson:
You counted all of them? lol, that seems like a lot of work. It would definitely be cool to have these numbers up-to-date. Thanks :D

Banned because 43 is Richard Petty's number, he lives about 2 miles from my house, and he once crossed fully into my lane in his Richard Petty edition Dodge truck and almost hit me head-on. He did apology wave at me though so it's all good.
(and yes it is sad that a highlight in my life is almost getting vehicular homicided by Richard Petty)

Banned because I don't know who Richard Petty is because I'm young.
Hey I think I found the scammer who keeps trying to get me to email them on my Craigslist ads.
Here is a sample of his previous masterpieces:
"Will not be fooled twice email cover up is messing things up. I am at Calegaritqg02@hotmail"
"Hey, what's ur real email? I'll give u mine so just get at me, ok? It is Esperanzatj5@hotmail"
"Careful now pls don't be spmming me I beg you but here is my email Sweneyilp09@hotmail"
"hey there, please email me * to Simonianoh14@hotmail * if u are very real"
BTW Dogdoug, Richard Petty is a famous Badminton player and professional horseshoe thrower.

Banned for infrequent banning and an obvious lack of knowledge of professional badminton players.
Lawdog1521 - I'll go with two. Why? Anytime you have a dead clown you come out ahead.
banned because I can't pee.

Lil' Daxx is slooooowly reading 20,000 Leagues right beside me so I'm bored.
I also haven't played RB in 69 days so I'm a pretty horrible person all the way around.
mMB call that number for those catheter people. You can get them at little to no cost to you. Then when something horrible goes wrong, call those lawyer people who have all that settlement money for crappy medical supplies. You may not even have to file a suit.
