The Blue Bonnet Cafe
Who doesn't love home cooking? Who doesn't want to eat the
food that you grew up with – food so good that only a Mom can make to your
satisfaction? That kind of food only exists at Mom's house, right? Not quite. There
is a place where you would swear your Mom must be in the kitchen, cooking your
favorite food – The Blue Bonnet Café,
in Marble Falls, Texas.
This outstanding eatery has been featured on The Food
Network; former president and first lady George and Laura Bush and a number of
other famous people have eaten there. It is no accident that people flock to
this café – great food draws crowds, and the food at The Blue Bonnet is not
just good – it is memorable.
We stopped at this famous spot on our way home from a trip
one recent summer day. We weren't sure what to expect for wait time – a
well-known restaurant like this at lunchtime would almost certainly require a
long wait. When we arrived, we could see that the place was packed, but we
waited less than fifteen minutes before the friendly hostess seated us.
Sometimes, such a place does not live up to expectations.
How many times have you gone somewhere or done something that was highly
anticipated, but didn't turn out like you expected? That didn't happen at the
Blue Bonnet – it was even better than its advance billing.
My son Brendan and I ordered Mama's Famous Pot Roast with homemade
red skin mashed potatoes; my wife Tiffany had the hand battered chicken fried
steak, and Emily had a hamburger. I noticed that everyone at our table – in
fact, everyone that I could see around us - smiled throughout their meal. I've
never seen so many smiling people in a restaurant; everyone that I could see
clearly loved the food. My pot roast
was exceptional – they don't call this home cooking for nothing. But that was
just the beginning. Then came the pies – oh wow, the pies.
The Blue Bonnet keeps a glass case display with fresh pies
of just about every conceivable flavor. Just walking past that case as we were
seated was an experience in itself. Look at that one – no wait, look at that one. How are we going to choose
which one of those pies to sample? What a happy dilemma to have, and of course,
no one was disappointed with his or her choice – every pie slice was
After eating at this restaurant, you may be tempted to take
a look, just to be sure it isn't your Mom
back there in the Bluebonnet kitchen, but it may as well be. If you love home
cooking, you need to find your way to Marble Falls, and eat at The Blue Bonnet Café. Although it's not
your Mom cooking in their kitchen, you will smile and enjoy your food, just as
though Mom made it herself.

Your review of this place is utter bologna. The restaurant was in no way shape or form "packed" if you only waited 15 minutes for a table. I have been to this place twice since moving back home; both times I ordered the chicken fried steak and eggs. Everything was fine, except for the CHICKEN FRIED STEAK, the focal point of the meal! They used frozen hamburger patties. As for the pies, they are anything but "home made", they are outsourced and the only thing home made is the meringue.

High Mileage M3 as Track Car
I've been toying with the idea of selling my car and picking up an 01-03 M3 with higher mileage, specifically for HPDE use.
I use my car as an HPDE/weekend car now, but it's so "nice" at 35K miles that I'm hesistant to do anything permanent to it, like drilling holes for a roll bar, rolling fenders etc. I figure if I get an older E46 with 100K+ miles on the cheap, I won't mind ripping it apart in pursuit of a better track day car. Plus, the savings will allow for more mods/track days. However I'm a little concerned with how a high mileage E46 will hold up at the track. Anyone regularly track an M3 with 100K+ miles?

People usually buy high mileage cars jut for the track. 100k is nothing for the e46 an should preform well

Re: High Mileage M3 as Track Car
i'm gonna look at a 02 car with 140k miles this week - for NASA time trials.
Just cautious about the engine. |

Re: High Mileage M3 as Track Car
Do a compression and leakdown test on the motor for sure, S54s aren't known to be particularly high mileage motors. Obviously anything rubber on the car is going to have deteriorated from time and miles, but you can make this a positive. With the money saved, you can refresh these essential parts with replacements best suited for track use. I don't think it's a bad idea unless you end up spending the money you save "modding" the car instead of doing maintenance first.

Re: High Mileage M3 as Track Car
Just turned over 100k and will be looking to do a ton more HPDE's this year. Hoping to get ready for TT by the end of the season. Need more driving time though.
As everyone's already said, higher mileage just comes with higher maintenance.

Re: High Mileage M3 as Track Car
A couple of things, but first check the common frame stressed areas on any high mileage chassis - rear susp mounts, etc. Make sure it's track-worthy. Then, what about getting a track-prepped E46 unless you're planning to enjoy the build-up from stock. Good luck, and keep us updated

Re: High Mileage M3 as Track Car
don't do it buddy!
your car is wonderful. just modify it slowly. you know you are not going to sell the car. maybe in like 10 years, but then, you will be so attached to the car you wouldn't want to do it. get some nice seats and a roll bar and thats it. run harnesses when you are at the track, and have some nice seats for when you take it for a few joy rides. i don't know your intentions, but unless you plan on w2w racing, i don't see a need to go as extreme as my stupid ass went (i am just really competitive and want fast fast fast lap times). you also don't need to get a high mileage car, you are just going to spend a lot of money making the car ready. and the money you think you saved for HPDE/Mods will go towards fixing this or fixing that. you know your car, strengthen what you believe needs strengthening - as your pace improves, safety should be your first concern. some nice fixed back seats and a roll bar and harnesses and a hans device should be perfect. keep the interior in tact and just rip hard. get some real race suspension, some proper bushings, and enjoy the car on the weekend and on the track. |

Linn LP12 History and Upgrade path
The following information was compiled from an official Linn customer services document.
The LP12 has had many upgrades through the years. The major ones were given exotic names, like Nirvana, Valhalla, Lingo, Trampolin reflecting the advances in accurate sound reproduction which they represented. There have also been many unnamed improvements like new feet, new baseboard, new armboard, new suspension springs and grommets and new plinth. The list is long and it means that an LP12 need never be out of date.
Cirkus Kit
The Cirkus upgrade to the LP12 focuses on bearing performance and the connection of the bearing housing to the sub-chassis. The improved bearing and stronger sub-chassis arrangement provides the turntable with greater stability and ensures the bearing sits perfectly true to the chassis of the turntable. This in turn minimises the risk of turntable platter movement with respect to the sub-chassis and arm. Even the slightest movement will introduce audible degradation to the reproduced signal.
Together the changes to the bearing and the sub-chassis make an enormous difference to the overall performance of the turntable. The specific changes are as follows :
- The thickness of the bearing housing mounting flange has been substantially increased and undercuts eliminated to make it many times more rigid. This also allows the use of larger mounting bolts.
- Increased distance between top and bottom liners in the bearing housing to make it as stable as possible eliminating even the smallest amount of rocking
- An increase in the height of the bearing housing from the top of its inner liner to increase oil capacity, ensuring proper lubrication of the top bearing at all times
- Double thickness sub-chassis to improve rigidity, reducing flexing and improving control of the relationship between key components
The attached kit of parts, which includes a new inner platter and spindle, is supplied to fit this upgrade. As always with Linn product improvements, new LP12 turntables will incorporate this upgrade as standard.
All Linn products are subject to continuous development programmes and we aim to make similar advances in sound quality in future as we have in the past.
Lingo Power Supply
Date Introduced: 1990 The Linn Lingo is a high precision, direct coupled, power supply designed to sit alongside the LP12 turntable. The Lingo upgrade moves the LP12's performance into a new league, further distancing it from the competition.
At the heart of the Lingo are two very low noise crystal oscillators derived from the Linn Numerik digital studio recording system - one for 33.33 rpm and one for 45 rpm. The switch on the turntable selects the appropriate oscillator, the output of which is fed into a synchronous counter to produce a 50 Hz or 67.5 Hz square wave for 33 rpm and 45 rpm respectively.
As the LP12 motor runs at its quietest when driven with a clean sinusoidal waveform, a precision filter is employed in the Lingo to remove harmonics from the square wave leaving only a pure wave form.
The most uniform torque is delivered from the motor when both phases are driven at ninety degrees with respect to one another. This is achieved by a ninety degree phase-shift network after the filter. The two resulting sinusoids drive two high voltage class A amplifiers, the outputs of which drive the two motor windings.
The Lingo uses 'stall detection' circuitry to feed the motor with a higher voltage for increased start-up torque. When the platter reaches the selected speed, this load-sensing circuitry reduces the power output. From then on the motor just maintains the platter's own inertia to keep it going silently.
A toroidal transformer on the PCB, and a mains filter, give a very high degree of electrical isolation from the mains voltage supply.

text: The Return Of I Spit On Your Grave's Rape And Revenge FantasiesIrin Carmon7/23/10 5:00pmFiled to: FilmschooledI spit on your grave remakei spit on your graveHorrorRapeRoger EbertRevenge Fantasies210EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkIf blogs and trigger warnings had existed in 1979, I Spit On Your Grave would have been a classic example of their necessity. Lucky for us, this "rape and revenge fantasy" is being remade, coming to theaters this fall!AdvertisementOf the many, many words written about this movie, none have had as much impact as Roger Ebert's. In 1980, he called it "a vile bag of garbage...a movie so sick, reprehensible and contemptible that I can hardly believe it's playing in respectable theaters...Attending it was one of the most depressing experiences of my life."Why? Well, nearly one third of the run time of I Spit On Your Grave, alternatively known as Day Of The Woman, features its protagonist, a female writer, being violently gang-raped in rural Maine. Much of the rest of the film involves her taking violent, sexualized revenge on each of her attackers. It was censored and banned in several countries. (Later, of course, the controversy served as a marketing tactic for the 2004 DVD release.)Its writer-director, Meir Zarchi, has said that the film was inspired by a real-life incident, in which he and his daughter came upon a bloodied rape victim and had a frustrating experience with the police. The film, he said, imagined an alternate ending for the victim in which she got back at her attackers. Ebert begged to differ, writing, "There is no possible motive for exhibiting it, other than the totally cynical hope that it might make money."A handful of feminist critics, including Carol Clover, have found redeeming elements to the movie. More recently, blogger Simone Muench argued that I Spit On Your Grave is "a film that holds a mirror up to society's inherent misogyny, and that it is the spectators themselves who, over-awed and anxious from the material at hand, are irresponsible in their willingness to deride the shocking subject matter of the film without allowing for any close examination of its form and content." Support for the argument that the film is a gory channeling of the backlash: it was made in the wake of Second Wave feminism and the protagonist is referred to as an uppity career woman who needs to be taken down a notch.But the question here is, as it always is in arguments of graphic violence against women as catharsis, how the film is actually seen — and not just by well-meaning critics.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe site Refused Classification quotes a statement by the Film Board of Review by the Attorney-General of Tasmania, which evaluated the film for video release. It neatly summarizes an alternative perspective on the film:The emphasis in the rape sequence was felt to be focused less towards a gratuitous display of violence than towards a revelation and questioning of adverse and demeaning attitudes and actions towards women. These attitudes are central to the act of gang rape and are indicated in the dialogue throughout the video, without being endorsed...It was felt that the major focus was from the woman's perspective, indicating the horror of rape, rather than the relished enjoyment of its display. Viewed in this way, it was the judgement of the majority of the Board that the rape and violence were not presented for exploitative purposes.Ebert described a markedly different identification in that Chicago theater in 1980:The middle-aged, white-haired man two seats down from me, for example, talked aloud, After the first rape: "That was a good one!" After the second: "That'll show her!" After the third: "I've seen some good ones, but this is the best." When the tables turned and the woman started her killing spree, a woman in the back row shouted: "Cut him up, sister!" In several scenes, the other three men tried to force the retarded man to attack the girl. This inspired a lot of laughter and encouragement from the audience.Now comes the remake, which has been refused a rating by the MPAA, and whose original tagline was, "It's Date Night." Anyone want to take a crack at this one being empowering?SponsoredClick to viewAnd then there's the poster, which we've declined to reproduce in full here. You can see it over at this excellent rant on Pajiba (by a man, Dustin Rowles) about the poster objectifying the victim's bare buttocks:They show the bruises and the dirt and the dried blood, but they make goddamn sure that they also airbush that ass. Because the assholes who put together this poster want to titillate you; they want you to see the movie, not because this woman takes revenge on her rapists, but because this hot lady with a nice ass gets gang-raped on a rock. That is the only explanation for this movie poster.It ends up creating a paradox in which the narrative rails against the objectification of women while simultaneously encouraging the audience to do that very thing to the woman onscreen. In the end, the biggest problem with I Spit On Your Grave is that we see Jennifer treated like a thing, and her response to this is to become… a thing. And it wants us to cheer about it. No thanks.But surely that's not the only reason someone would tune in for the remake. Just take a look at the IMDB message boards for the movie.Let's focus on what's important here, shall we? How hot her ass is, whether she gets naked, and whether the (evidently male) viewer gets off or not. The rhetorical analysis of empowerment we can deal with later.AdvertisementThe Reprehensible Sexualization Of Rape: I Spit On Your Grave Remake Poster [Pajiba] Related: Film: I Spit On Your Grave [Refused Classification] I Spit On Your Grave [Roger Ebert/Chicago Sun-Times] Films That Deserve to Be Revisited: I Spit on Your Grave by Meir Zarchi [SharkForum] I Spit On Your Grave[B Movie Cat]Reply210 repliesLeave a reply

Topic tags/keywords: planer question jet blue There's a guy selling one of these that has sat in storage for several years. He's asking $750 for it, and will be sending pictures to me. Realizing I am missing several details that affect the price, but assuming there is no rust, the motor is fine, the knives will probably need sharpening, is this price in the ball park? Seems high to me, he says he is firm on the price. Thanks for any of your opinions. |

I had one of those a few years ago and it was a great planer. I'd love to find another one but I seldom see them for sale. It would have to be in exceptional shape for that price, it sold new for just a little more. A lot depends on the condition, but that is definitely at the top of the price range. -- Artisan Woodworks of Texas.... www.awwtx.com |

Seems high to me, he says he is firm on the price. i believe you are correct. if it's a 6" jointer, he's wwwaayyyyy out of line. if it's an 8" jointer, he's just out of line. keep looking. older jet tools were well built but don't warrant a premium. -- there's a solution to every problem.......you just have to be willing to find it. |

Thanks for all of your insight. I think I'll pass. Even if I got him down to $600, I'm not sure it's much of a deal. He says his price is firm anyway. I think it'll be sitting in storage even longer at that price. |

it's really sad you're leaving LS :( anyway it's right if you don't have fun anymore .. bye ;)
i know it's pretty old, but i didn't find it so i'll ask: has it been spotted? does anyone know where is the shirt from? i love it
Ever since I've seen Miley in these boots, I NEED a pair!
What do you guys like from Miley's footwear collection?!
I'm not a fan of that pair, it makes me think of hooker shoes (sorry!!) but Miley can pull it off. I really liked her tan coloured Guiseppe Zanotti shoes she wore for that music video for someone...I forget lol but all in all i LOVE her shoe collection. Do you own any of her shoes Katiie? =)
I love those boots/heels. I think that with the right outfit they look really great. Like a really modest dress with black tights.
i'm on the fence wiht those shoes. i love most of her shoes though. basically all her sandals and boots, but only some of her heels.
@jstbee, I have her Damisi boots, the leopard print Christian Louboutins and the Frye Veronica ones :) what about you?
I just uploaded new pictures of Miley. I'm so glad she has her extensions back! And she seems much happier
you must be joking about her hair. you must!
OMG, those extensions are not only bad because they're tacky to start with, but they're really low-quality on top of that. They just look like something you'd find at a Halloween costume store.
i love her with both long and short hair but those extensions are horrible! i really like the blonde on her though...it's tempting me to dye my hair...hahah
I liked her shorter hair.Those extensions give me goose bumps
Well I like the fact she has her extensions back, but not the blonde ones, I prefered her other ones!
wowee! someone spotted that ring @becjbo!
great job spotting those boots to whoever did!!
Her style has become very erm..whats the word..vintage?
omg, can you guys help me find this outfit? i am in love with all of it.
Sure, but can you post the link to see the more than one of this photo please? Not clear enough! :)
yes i will find the links i was looking at. to be honest i wouldnt have anywhere to wear this anyways, id just look funny running around kona with this outfit. but i just really like those jeans with those shoes. not to mention shes stunning.
So I'm really not liking her fashion over the last week or so....
Totally agree!
And whats with her suddenly not wanting to wear a bra?!
i think kristen doesnt wear a bra just as much tho. but i think shes over doing it with the hippy look. it just looks icky imo. i liked it better over the summer when she was wearing lots of cute things. lol.
Lol yeah, she's looking a bit too hippy, it doesn't look good. I get that when its boiling hot, you might not want to wear a bra but all the time?!?!
yeah, it's kind of strange that she changed her style so dramatically and so fast! Really not liking it either
seems like she's always had that hippieish look, but she just amped it up a lot.
ive noticed that her face looks really really round and chubby all the sudden. just really bloated. she looks so bad sorry to say.
If she keeps dressing like this I'm sorry to say I'll be MIA from this page
I agree Bec. It seems as though she's trying to reinvent herself or something since her and Liam aren't together anymore? No idea but I hate it all the same. It makes her look cracked out sometimes.
Hi, do someone knows where I can buy the Pamela Love Arrowhead Ring? :)
i just came across this photo. look at her little sister! her bra is showing like miley. i usually am not all too bothreed by miley and her bra but i think i'm over the whole cyrus clan, that's just too much.
Ugh, don't even get me started on Noah...her provocative clothing and behaviour disturbs me to no end LOL
Btw...does anyone have any idea where that turquoise necklace shes wearing is from? She's been wearing it a lot lately and I love it.
I was noticing the similarities in her and lindsey loahn. Both have moms who don't dress their age and are "stage moms" both have a younger sister who emulates them and both are child stars. I hope this isn't a sign.
Mmm are any of you from the UK? I found some Damisi boots in my size but they won't ship them to Australia (ebay) :(
I live in the UK?
what damisi boots?? =) im from the uk too!! just joined site, but most of my shopping/cloths inspired by miley =) i bought on ebay last xmas the marc by marc jacobs zip red and cream dress that she wore to gmtv once =) i got it so cheaap =) compared to original price
i hope you get soemone to help! how much are they? you should ask that fd23 girl who's in uk and is really nice to people. you know that girl with the black and red image for her profile phooto.?
hum dum...nothins happening here!
I know! So sad! =( I think we're all kind of bleh about her style right now lol
kristen has come out again tho so that makes me happy! maybe we;ll all switch on over to her page again. or maybe miley will stop dressing like a 10 year old. lol
We may have hope! I just uploaded a video of miley, not sure when it was and can't find pictures, but she looks nice- like the old miley! I like the outfit :) What do you guys think?
Ooo! I like it too! =) The poor girl...I would hate to have paparazzi following me around all the time.
Who added that new picture of Miley, the photoshoot one? I wanna know where its from :D
the bodysuit one? It's an unknown shoot with just the one photo at this point... I dunno if it's real or photoshopped though
Yeah, her left side looks really fake?! Wonder what its for..:/
Who keeps spotting the Carvela boots??!! lol. They're the Steve Madden Mantel boots (which have already been spotted)
nooo! her parents are divorcing just like lindsay lohan's did. i see a pattern here.
Seriously?!?! That's so sad! =( I really hope all the kids will be ok. I would hate to see Miley or any of her siblings go down the Lindsay path
Hasn't the shoes Miley wore in The last song been spottet yet?
Selena Gomez page is empty, so i'm gonna ask it to you :)
does anyone know where i can find it? http://yfrog.com/69immaginebxj
Did anyone else see the new Miley scandal?
Yes, I just read about it. Are you referring to the naked photos?
Yeah, I dunno whether to believe that it's fake... she has been heading down that track of late
you mean the smoking thing?
Oh my gosh you guys, my friend sent me this video of Miley high off her freakng mind. I'm so saddened that she headed down this path.....
That's just really sad.
it is sad if it's going too far , but i guess i do a little toking myself sometimes lol
I'm referring to the people who were taping it. It seemed like the whole purpose of what was going on was to get her to be ridiculous so that they could sell or post the video for money.
Yeah, if those people were her "friends" they stooped really low. I think what also bugs me is this whole bad girl persona, it just seems kind of contrived because she wants to get away from her Disney image so badly. There are other ways of doing that instead of letting your friends get you high and taping it? I dunno, maybe I'm just a prude lol
mileys looking like she put on some weight. NOT like she's fat lol but just like shes not as tiny as she was when she was with liam. i wonder if its for her movie rold. i hope shes doing ok i actually worry about her now!
yeah you can especially tell shes gained a bit in her face. I think she looks good though =) and yes, i worry about her too! =(
are the best bum tops referring to lots of different styles of that brand? ive found lots that are called best bum, but their all Blue life brand. confused!
The Best Bum tops are by the brand Blue Life. Blue Life carries a lot of different styles but the Best Bum styles have a slit in the back of the hem of the shirt that you can tie into a knot. Hope that helps!
For those who missed getting their size the first time around, the Forever 21 Decorated Shoulder top is back in stock!

Kevin Lopina or Marshall Lobbestael?
The question assumes Lobbestael will be ready to roll on Aug. 9, the first day of fall camp, as he continues to return from knee surgery. All indications have been he's on pace to do just that.
Lopina, after Gary Rogers was injured, played in nine games in 2008, starting eight. He was 87-of-153 passes for 841 yards with 11 interceptions but the one pass everyone remembers most was the 48-yard bomb in the Apple Cup to Jared Karstetter to set up overtime as the Cougs claimed victory for the fourth time in the last five years over the Huskies.
Lobbestael played in five games last season, starting three after Lopina was injured. He was 53-of-103 for 571 yards with four touchdowns and four interceptions and was named the Pac-10 player of the week after his performance against Portland State.
Most fans figure the starting job will come down to those two, but J.T. Levenseller could also make some noise. Levenseller played in four games late in the season going 17-of-34 for 134 yards with two interceptions. Walk-on QB Dan Wagner, also the Cougs' backup punter, got a handful of snaps last season against Oregon State as the incredible run of injuries to Cougar QBs continued. Jeff Tuel starts classes and voluntary workouts today at WSU, along with 11 others in the incoming '09 class. True frosh quarterbacks starting in the Pac-10 is rare indeed but many think Tuel has a very bright future at Wazzu.
So keeping in mind the biggest determination -- fall camp -- still has yet to occur, in the here and now, who's your pick ?

10 Comments:
Where the myth is 'alive', nobody has to explain the myth. It is understood without needing explanation. Once the myth dies out, it becomes more and more difficult to explain the underlying meaning -- especially to people of a more 'modern' mindset.
We know that these people wrote mythology. -
No, Parakletos...
They wrote what became mythology.
They were "journalists" -- people recording what they saw and experienced first hand.
We can't understand what they saw but their recording of what they saw was exactly what they saw: God was seen, Ezekiel's "thing" was as he saw it, Herodotus's snakes with wings and gold-digging ants were as he recorded them.
No one was playing with language or "facts."
It wasn't the mind-set of mankind then.
``They wrote what became mythology.``
You are merely restating your thesis, not proving it.
There is nothing to suggest that every piece of mythology was taken as a scientific account of history. Enki and Enlil were not real people, and the accounts of them were not from the POV of a witness. It's literature -- fiction with a moral and/or mythological lesson to be learned. -
I'm not talking about fiction, as that is an evolutionary process.
While Homer and the Biblical writers often inserted fictive elements in their works, just as present-day fiction writers place real events in their fictional efforts, the core realities remain as they were: actual observations, as seen, but interpreted as best the writer could interpret.
For example, Ezekiel's wheel was as he saw it and as he interpreted it.
We get the best of what he could offer, in the context of his world and mind-set at the time.
We can't extrapolate our meaning from his account. We are muddled by all that has transpired since Ezekiel's time.
Ezekiel saw something. He recorded the seeing.
Was he hallucinating? Perhaps.
Did he actually see a real "thing" as he recorded it? Perhaps.
Either way, we have an honest account of what he saw or thought he saw.
The equivalent for our time is the Lonnie Zamora account of what he saw in Socorro (1964).
We have to accept that he, Zamora, like Ezekiel, is telling us exactly what he saw or experienced.
There is no prevarication by either man.
They had no reason to fabricate their stories, Ezekiel less so that Zamora as the idea of lying was less evolved for Ezekiel in his 580 B.C. time-frame.
Æsop is not a liar, Rich. Mythology is not that much more complex than fables.
What you call 'lying' can just as well be described by those who understand the esoteric meaning as simply '(en)coded information'. There is an underlying meaning to the myths. And while some of them may well have been inspired by visions of some sort or other, that's not to say that the author wanted them interpreted in such a way. The author may well be using a fable-like metaphor to deliver a deeper message which cannot be delivered any other way.
As I said earlier, the meaning is clear while the myth is alive in a culture. Once the myth dies and the meaning is lost, it's not lost because the meaning of the words have been lost. It's lost because the meaning of the underlying message has been lost. -
``The most radical critical position was that of Charles C. Torrey who in 1930 published his Pseudo-Ezekiel and the Original Prophecy. Torrey's view was that the book comes from a writer who lived c. 200 b.c. and that the prophet Ezekiel never existed as a historical person. The book is a pseudepigraphon presenting a fictitious Ezekiel who is imagined to have lived in the reign of Manasseh. The Babylonian setting is the result of still later editing, according to Torrey.``
https://www.biblicaltraining.org/library/book-ezekiel -
I don't disagree with you (or Joseph Campbell).
What I'm trying to say is that what was recorded by persons not overtly trying to create a "story" was as it was told or recorded.
That is, what was communicated was what the person experienced or saw.
That's all.
I don't shrug off recorded observations by trying to interpret what was told.
I accept the accounts as real, despite that some persons had a difficult time trying to make sense of what they saw.
This is what's so good about Zamora's Socorro account: He told his story, without accretions or additions.
He merely reported what he saw and experienced.
I think Ezekiel did the same.
There are other recent events, and many past events, as enumerated in Wonders in the Sky, that are what they are, nothing more, nothing less.
That we have received mythological treatment, after the fact of real events, goes to the heart of the problem with ufology (Roswell et cetera).
Some accounts, historically recorded, are just what they seem to be, more so in earlier times before mankind learned how to fabricate for various reasons.
Torrey is wrong and, indeed, radical.
A better view of the Ezekiel problem may be found here:
"The book of Ezekiel can be described as an historical narrative about the activity of an exilic prophet. While some scholars do not think that a prophet Ezeliel actually existed (e.g. Becker) or doubt that we can know anything about this prophet for certain, even whether he existed (e.g. Pohlmann), most scholars agree that the book reflects the ministry of a prophet."
Absolutely. But that begs the question as to what a prophet actually IS. -
Now you're taking the topic and discussion into areas where I do not wish to go, here.

Just How Good Was Johan Santana Last Night
August 8, 2010After losing the first game of the series and staring at Roy Halladay (today) and Ubaldo Jimenez (Tuesday) in the next two games the Mets REALLY needed to win last night and Johan Santana delivered.
Take a look at some of his stats from last night (courtesy of ESPN.com):
You can watch all 6 of Santana's strike-outs at Mets.com. Let's hope that R.A. Dickey can go out there today and be just as good.

I think its going to help Donnie realize that we're going to have to go the big 3 route and get cp3. I'm pretty sure he's seeing how dominant the Heat look right now with their big 3 and that their only going to get better.
I think its going to help Donnie realize that we're going to have to go the big 3 route and get cp3. I'm pretty sure he's seeing how dominant the Heat look right now with their big 3 and that their only going to get better.
**** a big 3. I think what they help us realize is that we're gonna have to be able to play both sides of the ball if we have any shot at winning anything. Defense is just as if not more important as offense
The Bulls and Miami are tied for 2nd in defensive scoring. We need to make to a commitment to that side like they do because to took theto the Conference Finals and Finals. But we need the that third guy to spread the defense because of Miami and Chicago. Because what they do is load up on one guy. and played 5 on 4 vs. Boston b/c of Rondo's inability to score.
With a guy like CP3 he can dissect any defenses. He just has no one to help him out.
Everyone on this board needs to understand this: WE NEED EVERYTHING. We a sooooooo far from being anything like Miami.
However, we are the only team in the East that can get it done quickly. We're one star and 2 to 3 complimentary players away. We're a good coach away.
A lot of other teams are stuck where they are financially without any stars, some teams, franchises, and cities are just unattractive. The New York Knicks are sexy, and available.
Go Knicks
Don't confuse your personal feelings with Donnie's.
Uh yeah.... but the HEAT shouldn't be credited with helping us realize this.
Our very own DFDH illustrated what these guy's with decades of experience should have already figured out.
What every non-casual fan knows...
Why do you think we here at KOL been arguing about MDA so long?
What MIA does well is crowd the paint with help defenders, forcing you to take jumpers. If they go in (i.e. when we beat them & Chi) they lose, if not they win. Simple, yet effective. They also rotate well on the perimeter.
Beating them takes consistent ball movement (under pressure), and knocking down shots.
A guy like CP3 can dissect any defense, so can other guards. he can also stop you from affording quality interior help.
Nope, we don't need everything. We have a starting 1, 3 & 4. We arguably have a back-up 2 and 5.Everyone on this board needs to understand this: WE NEED EVERYTHING. We a sooooooo far from being anything like Miami.
However, we are the only team in the East that can get it done quickly. We're one star and 2 to 3 complimentary players away. We're a good coach away.
A lot of other teams are stuck where they are financially without any stars, some teams, franchises, and cities are just unattractive. The New York Knicks are sexy, and available.
Go Knicks
As far as "being anything like MIA"...
who the f*ck is like MIA? Who want's to be like MIA? IDK?
I do know they can be beat. They have weaknesses. And if what you are saying we have the potential as some other teams do to compete with them, I agree. But it's about prioritizing based on a plan and strategy.
Walsh needs to decide, does he want to win or sell expensive tickets?
I think he want's to win. And to do that he knows our defense will have to improve by leaps and bounds.
Exactly, you don't NEED a big 3. What you do need is a well-balanced team and committment from EVERYONE on defense. This includes the players and coaches. There are plenty of teams that won without a "big 3" and they did it by having good coaching, assignment understanding, heart and defensive knowledge.
Real Talk
It's not necessarily having a "big 3". They're winning because they have 2 players who can score when the offense breaks down, and score in the clutch.
We have those 2 players as well.
Difference is, there supporting cast is much better than ours, and until proven otherwise, the combo of Wade/Lebron is much better than Melo/Stat.
So we don't need a big 3.
But **** it. Lets get one anyways.
this almost made me post a DFDH Volume 4.
Fire Dantoni thread.
You know damn well, that Dantoni is just a lasting lame duck, I feel like walsh got him because he knew he would be some one who could handle NY and players like Dantoni; to spell the knicks for the four years it would take to finally make Walsh's plan come to fruition, and trust this Walsh has no qualms with firing guys he likes, he got rid of plenty of coaches in his tenure with the pacers; he knows how to fire coaches. The issue lies with this, who will replace him ????
there is no one literally available at this moment, and to fire a coach before he has a full training camp, after taking a team to the playoffs, after all the trades; professionally is unfair to the coach as well as unfair to the team.
It shows that the General manager has no respect for the unity of a team and trying to build something together; I believe you only fire a coach once the team stops getting the message; and Dantoni has had about 6 different teams since he came to NY; which in terms of history probably has never happened before.
I cant think of any team ever that has moved pieces around as much as the knicks over a 3 year span.
So Dantoni will get the benefit of the doubt this year, but that doubt will eventually benefit the knicks in the long run because if dantoni proves those doubts to be correct, he will benefit from a buy out and a boot out the door.
The thing I love the most about our team, is we don't ever seem afraid
Who wants to be like Miami? Who wouldn't want to be 3 games away from the Finals. Who wouldnt want to beat a team with one star, 3 seven footers and a great bench in Dallas. Now things may change but why not go for greatness?
Im not about selling tickets. Neither is Donnie, and neither is getting a player like CP3. I dont want to be "showtime". I want to be a gritty grind it out team defensively but we need to be flexible offensively. We need another dynamic player. Not some guy to run an offense but a guy who can go HAM just like STAT and Melo. Not just some HAM, but a triple double HAM.
LBJ and Wade have Killer instinct....Our guys need to develop that...we lost at least 10 games this year, cause we didn't have that. Look at the first 2 games against the Celtics. Sure 1 game was cause of a bad call, but with Killer instinct, that wouldn't had mattered. Wouldn't be in that situation
I wonder what would have happened with the Bulls if Amar'e went there instead of Boozer. What really hurt them was not having another dominant offensive players out there besides Rose.
I think if Amar'e is on that team, you see them go 7 games if not win it. We don't need a big three. We need a team that does both offense and defense. The Heat aren't winning because they have stars -- they are winning because they have a team that is top ten in defense and offense.
Yeah, you need a star who can take over a game, but you need a team first. We need to build a team. We need the Udonis Haslem's, Luol Deng's and Noah's of this league on our team. Hell, I would even take Joel Anthony.
We have no five, no two, and very little bench. After watching these play-offs, you realize how far we truly are from being a championship team.
Just look how far Chicago got with basically one really good player in Rose and a bunch of other scrappy hard working guys. Defense and good team chemistry can get you a long way. We have two really good players in Melo and Stoudemire. Now we need to improve by a ton on the defensive side.

In open land natural light turns into a material capable of transforming how a landscape is perceived, whether it be natural or man-made. In the peculiar setting of a Trade Fair, an horizon where light flow in and is reflected in the whites, greys and patches of colour, it can become a material shimmering from north to south, from east to west, emphasising the deep colour of dawn and dusk. The new building is characterised by the colour gold, whose preciousness refers to the theme of sunlight and its reflections, the capacity to create an atmosphere of transparency, opacity, reflections and semi-transparencies with its surroundings, within the territorial perspectives crossing the area at different speeds and at all times of day.

News Release
Please note: As of January 20, 2017, information in some news releases may be out of date or not reflect current policies.
OSHA News Release: [12/28/2011]
Contact Name: Michael Wald or Michael D'Aquino
Phone Number: (404) 562-2078 or 2076
Release Number: 11-1790-CHI
US Department of Labor's OSHA finds 50 violations at Huntington Ingalls shipyard in Mississippi, proposes more than $176,000 in penalties
PASCAGOULA, Miss. The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration has cited government contractor Huntington Ingalls Industries International Shipbuilding Inc. and five subcontractors for a total of 50 safety and health violations. OSHA opened its inspection after receiving a complaint in June about safety hazards at the Pascagoula shipyard. The initial inspection was expanded to a comprehensive safety and health inspection under OSHA's Site Specific Targeting Program, which focuses on companies in industries with higher-than-average injury and illness rates. Proposed penalties total $176,444.
The company employs more than 38,000 workers in California, Louisiana, Mississippi and Virginia, and has contracts with the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard. It is based in Newport News, Va., and was formerly known as Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding.
"Huntington Ingalls employs more than 10,000 workers at this location who build ships for the federal government, and these employees deserve a first-rate occupational safety and health program. This is a wake-up call that the safety and health of workers needs to be the shipyard's highest priority," said Teresa Harrison, OSHA's acting regional administrator in Atlanta.
OSHA cited Huntington Ingalls for 37 serious safety violations, carrying penalties of $150,300, for impalement, electrical, "struck-by," scaffolding, blocked exits, compressed gases, rigging, machine guarding, welding, tripping and fall hazards. Four serious health violations with $16,000 in penalties include allowing lead, arsenic and cadmium dust to accumulate in a lunch area; dispensing of flammable liquids in improper containers; using containers for flammable liquids that were damaged; and not labeling adhesive and paint containers with hazard warnings. A serious violation occurs when there is substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result from a hazard about which the employer knew or should have known.
Additionally, three other-than-serious violations with no monetary penalty were cited for failing to provide an exit sign, provide a floor plate to determine load capacity and use fixed wiring to replace a flexible cord. An other-than-serious violation is one that has a direct relationship to job safety and health, but probably would not cause death or serious physical harm.
Industrial Corrosion Control Inc. was cited for two serious safety violations with $3,808 in penalties for improper handling of compressed gas cylinders, and allowing cables and hoses to be tripping hazards. General Insulation Inc. was cited for one serious safety violation with a $2,384 fine for an electrical hazard, and U.S. Joiner LLC also was cited for one serious safety violation with a $2,167 penalty for an electrical hazard. Marine Flooring LLC was cited for one serious violation with a $1,785 penalty for applying a corrosive material without ensuring that employees have access to an eyewash facility. Robert J. Baggett Inc. was cited for one other than serious safety violation with no monetary penalty for using a portable diesel fuel tank that lacked identification of its contents and an appropriate hazard warning.
The citations can be viewed at http://www.osha.gov/ooc/citations/Huntington_Ingalls_315303115_safety_1221_2011.pdf
The companies have up to 15 business days from receipt of the citations and proposed penalties to comply, request a conference with OSHA's area director or contest the findings before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.
To ask questions, obtain compliance assistance, file a complaint, or report workplace hospitalizations, fatalities or situations posing imminent danger to workers, the public should call OSHA's toll-free hotline at 800-321-OSHA (6742) or the agency's Jackson Area Office at 601-965-4606.
Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, employers are responsible for providing safe and healthful workplaces for their employees. OSHA's role is to ensure these conditions for America's working men and women by setting and enforcing standards, and providing training, education and assistance.

Since interesting news that I'm actually knowledgeable about is still a little hard to come by, I have to work a little harder. This is something interesting to discuss: John Gruber, rather famous Apple blogger, is now arguing that Apple is in fact not fighting the jailbreaking community. Wait, what?

Good to see people defending Apple.
Let's just roll over and wake up to find that we no longer have control over our own computers. When the current crop of desktop OSes become obsolete, we'll suddenly realise the significance of what we've let slip away by singing the vendor's justifications to remove basic freedoms we take for granted.
Good to see people defending Apple.
Yeah, let's all defend the "little people" that are vigorously opposed to these policies, yet are willing to sponsor Apple empire by buying a $600 phone because they like (nay, are "entitled to") their shiny apps?
People buying these devices know what they are getting into.

I was intrigued by a recent post pointing out that using .Text to retrieve data from Excel ranges got slower and slower as you iterated through the rows. So I took some time to explore and compare the three main properties (Range.Value, Range.Value2 and Range.Text) for getting result values from an Excel Range into VBA.
Of course, as you will see, they each have their own peculiarities and advantages.
This gets the formatted value of a cell. Actually it looks like .Text gets the value from the cell and then formats it, because the more complex the formatting the slower it is.
.Text is a read-only property, so you cannot set it directly.
If you try getting .Text from multiple cells into a variant (varr = Range("A1:A10").Text) you do NOT get an array of results. Instead if all the cells in the range contain the same value formatted in the same way you get a single formatted value, but if ANY of the cells has different values or formats you get Null ( this could be a useful trick).
When used inside a UDF you can use .Text to get the formatted value of the calling cell as it was before the UDF was called (you can't do this with .Value or .Value 2 without causing a circular reference). Here is an example that adds an extra . on each calculation.
Function LastValue() Dim var As Variant Application.Volatile var = Application.Caller.Text Debug.Print var var = var & "." LastValue = var End Function
The major drawback of .Text when used this way is that it gives you the formatted value, so the value you get could be ### if the user has set an inappropriate zoom or column width, or numbers could be retrieved as 1E+18 or …
This mostly gets the underlying value from the cell.
But if the cell is formatted as a date or currency then Range.Value converts the underlying value into a VBA date or currency variable before passing it to the VBA variable used in the assignment statement. Since VBA currency only has 4 decimal places this can cause a loss of accuracy. Suppose cell G4 has a value of 123.456789 formatted as currency. Then Range("g4").Value will retrieve a value of 123.4568 rather than the actual value!
If you assign this to a Variant you get a variant with a subtype of currency, but if you assign it to a Double then the value first gets converted to currency datatype and truncated, and then the currency datatype gets converted to a double.
Maybe using .Value to retrieve cells formatted as dates into a variant is useful because then you can use IsDate() to detect that the cell was a date.
Range.Value is an efficient way of transferring a range of cell values to VBA because you can assign the Range to a variant variable and the you get a variant containing a 2-dimensional array of variants. This is much more efficient that looping on the cells one-by-one.
.Value is (unfortunately) the default property of the Range object.
This works the same way as Range.Value, except that it does not check the cell format and convert to Date or Currency. And thats probably why its faster than .Value when retrieveing numbers.
So .Value2 really should be the default, and is definitely the one to use 99% of the time.
Performance Comparison
So how do these properties compare for speed? Here is my test code:
Sub textit() Dim dTime As Double Dim j As Long Dim jStart As Long Dim var As Variant dTime = MicroTimer() For jStart = 1 To 40000 Step 5000 dTime = MicroTimer For j = 1 To 5000 var = Range("a1").Offset(jStart + j - 2, 0).Text Next j dTime = MicroTimer - dTime Debug.Print dTime Next jStart End Sub
I ran this using a fresh worksheet with test data of numbers in the first 40000 rows.
The first run showed more-or-less constant time for each block. Then I changed the row-height of 10 rows at random intervals. The next run (.Text(2) is much slower, and the times increase from block to block.
So what's going on: why so much slower with times increasing?
Well it turns out that once enough row-heights have been changed the time for .Text is a function of the number of rows between the selected visible rows on the screen and the row being processed!!!!
(And No I don't know why, .Text must be doing some sort of cumulative row height calculation).
So if you add Range("a1").Offset(jStart).Select immediately after the For jStart = 1 To 40000 Step 5000 you get a faster and more constant set of times. Note you have to have Application.Screenupdating =True or this trick won't work.
Finally I replaced .Text with .Value and then with .Value2, and then used a variant array instead of the inner loop to get the full set of timings:
- .Text is seriously slow even if you bypass the row-height problem.
- .Value can seriously damage your
numbers - .Value2 is faster than .value with numbers (no significant difference with text)
- .Value2 using a variant array is much the fastest way to go
