7 Awesome and Influential Quotes by Stevie Nicks
Stevie Nicks celebrated her 67th on May 26. From belting it out as Fleetwood Mac's leading woman to her solo career, her music has inspired generations of fans and paved the way for future female musicians. While the songs she sings are packed with heartwrenching, relatable lyrics, the rockstar's original words are just as awesome without being set to music.
So put on your favorite Stevie Nicks songs and sing along (we won't judge) while you read some of these inspiring quotes below:
On bravery
1. "I am pretty fearless, and you know why? Because I don't handle fear very well; I'm not a good terrified person."
On her bandmates
2. "My other family is Fleetwood Mac. I don't need the money, but there's an emotional need for me to go on the road again. There's a love there; we're a band of brothers."
On taking her mother's advice
3. "Being able to take care of myself is something that my mom really instilled in me."
On the power of songwriting
4. "I'm going to spend my life writing poems, turning them into music that will affect people and touch their hearts. I'm going to write the songs that people can't write for themselves."
On overcoming struggles
5. "Even in my really bad, drugged-out days, I didn't go away. I still toured, still did interviews. I never gave up the fight. That's why I'm who I am today, because I didn't leave. And I think I made the right choice."
On aging gracefully
6. "Rock and menopause do not mix. It is not good, it sucks and every day I fight it to the death, or, at the very least, not let it take me over."
On female singers
7. "I look around at all the girl singers, and I think they're all my children."

I found the "tree" you all have at Ancestry.com about Ebenezer & Jane Fuson Goodin family. My connection is through Laurinda/Lourinda Mcintosh that married James M. Goodin. She was the daughter of John and Elizabeth Waymire Mcintosh of Mercer. (by the way the spelling of her name has be done many different ways, but according to affidavits in her pension application for John's Union Army pension it was Waymire).
I don't know if you know this but Lourindas older brother William Mcintosh married Polly Griffin daughter of James and Rebecca of Mercer. She was the sister of Thomas J. Griffin that married Perilee Goodin, sister of James M. Goodin. Both Polly and Thomas and their parents can be found on the 1860 census in Mercer County. Just thought I would pass this along to you.

IU, Purdue selected for major NCI biomarker tools initiativeINDIANAPOLIS -- The National Institutes of Health's National Cancer Institute has selected a team of scientists from Indiana and Purdue universities to assess and develop the next generation of tools to improve biomarker discovery. Such biomarkers should lead to better prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
The IU and Purdue Analytical Proteomics Team was awarded a grant of about $7 million as one of five national centers selected by the NCI for its clinical proteomic technologies initiative for cancer, a five-year, $104 million national program. The five grants, totaling $35.5 million, will establish a collaborative network to assess the proteomics technologies used to improve cancer research and treatment.
Proteomics is the study of proteins: their structure, function and how they interact with each other. The goal of the NCI initiative is to enable cancer researchers to make use of standardized proteomics methodologies to discover proteins and protein components -- biomarkers -- that are relevant to cancer.
Indiana is well known for having experts in proteomics at Purdue, IU-Bloomington and the IU School of Medicine in Indianapolis, as well as private industry. The Analytical Proteomics Team grant will pair those proteomics experts with cancer researchers and clinicians at the IU School of Medicine and experts in statistical and computer analysis at IU's School of Informatics.
Fred Regnier, Ph.D., Purdue's John H. Law Distinguished Professor of Chemistry, will be principal investigator for the team.
"This is a perfect example of how great things will happen in Indiana when IU, Purdue and the private sector collaborate on life sciences research," said D. Craig Brater, M.D., vice president of IU with responsibility for life sciences and dean of the IU School of Medicine.
Four hundred clinical samples will be collected for breast cancer analysis by the Hoosier Oncology Group, an Indiana statewide network of cancer physicians chaired by Christopher Sweeney, MBBS, an oncologist and associate director of clinical research at the IU Cancer Center. Prostate cancer samples also will be collected from the NCI-sponsored Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group trial. As co-principal investigators, Sweeney and Harikrishna Nakshatri, Ph.D., Marian J. Morrison Investigator in Breast Cancer Research in the IU Department of Surgery, and others including Bryan Schneider, M.D., assistant professor of medicine, will conduct cancer biology research.
The IU and Purdue proteomics scientists will employ a variety of mass spectrometry techniques in the project. The start-up company Predictive Physiology and Medicine will work with David E. Clemmer, Ph.D., the firm's scientific co-founder and former chairman of the IU Department of Chemistry, and Clemmer's team at IU Bloomington to provide ion mobility spectrometry evaluation. This proprietary technology adds several orders of magnitude increased dynamic range for cancer biomarker proteomics studies.
In Indianapolis, proteomics work will be conducted by the Protein Analysis and Research Center, the academic service component of the Indiana Centers for Applied Protein Sciences (INCAPS), said Mu Wang, Ph.D., director of PARC and an assistant professor of biochemistry and molecular biology at the IU School of Medicine. That work will include planning and execution of the projects to identify and validate targeted biomarkers for breast and prostate cancers. Informatics work will be overseen by Jake Chen, Ph.D., assistant professor of informatics at IU and co-principal investigator, working with a team of informatics specialists from IU Bloomington and biostatistics experts at the IU School of Medicine.
"For a large NCI program such as this, data is going to be generated and collected from clinical laboratories, individual research labs at Purdue, IUPUI, IU School of Medicine, IU Bloomington, and various contracting companies across the state. Therefore, it�s essential for a team of computational scientists to work together, linking data, storing them, and analyzing them using computational and statistical tools. The work ahead will be very exciting," Chen said.
The team will take advantage of Purdue's Discovery Pipeline for high complexity data handling to deal with the challenge of data collection, management, analysis and mining of the high throughput proteomics approaches. This discovery pipeline was developed from cooperation between the Bindley Bioscience, e-Enterprise, and Cyber centers at Purdue's Discovery Park.

ISSAQUAH, Wash. Dick DiCerchio will retire as Costco's senior EVP and COO, effective June 4, the mass-merchandise retailer said Wednesday.
DiCerchio will remain as a member of the company's board of directors, and a Costco representative told Drug Store News that employees who had reported to him would report instead to president and fellow COO Craig Jelinek, though the company had not found anyone to succeed DiCerchio.
DiCerchio's career spans more than five decades, and held various positions at such retailers as Fed-Mart and The Price Co. Costco CEO Jim Sinegal said his efforts led to many of Costco's successes.
"Dick has made invaluable contributions to the growth of our company, having spent 27 years in all facets of our operations, culminating with his positions as senior EVP and as a member of the board of directors," Sinegal said. "Under his leadership, the company has trained and developed a broad and deep team of executives across the globe."

Matthew Lehna, 17, a member of Davenport Central High School's Central Singers Inc. show choir, was sweating after he got done warming up Saturday afternoon.
Central Singers Inc. was one of five Class 4A show choirs performing in The Big Dance Show Choir Invitational hosted by Davenport North High School. Nine schools, mostly from Iowa, competed, and Davenport North groups gave exhibition performances.
Lehna, a senior, had been sick all week. He even missed Thursday's dress rehearsal. And he wasn't over his illness by showtime Saturday. As the girls in the song-and-dance group put on their earrings and the boys tied their ties, Lehna tried vainly to relax.
"I'm nervous," he said. "I'm always nervous before I get on stage and at the beginning of the show. But once the show starts, the butterflies go away."
After missing Thursday's practice, he had to make sure before the show that he was getting his steps right.
And when it was over, he was happy, even though he nearly threw up. "We did well," he said.
Well enough to perform again Saturday night in the finals after the afternoon performances ended with the Waukee (High School) Millennium group in first place, the Cedar Rapids Prairie (High School) Ambassadors in second and Central Singers Inc. in third.
The Davenport West High School show choir, West Connection, was the first 4A team to perform Saturday. Their 20-minute routine had the crowd on its feet.
Afterward, the team sat through a critique by judge Ben Schrank, who is also West's choreographer.
"I'm extremely proud of you," Schrank said. "You made great leaps since Thursday," he said, talking about their dress rehearsal. "But we have a lot of work to do."
The judges nitpick. The show choirs' directors and choreographers do the same.
Amy Pham, 17, a junior at West, and her teammate, Anna Wells, 16, also a junior, compared it to being on a football team.
"Show choir is more of a team sport than most people realize," Pham said. "We work really, really hard doing the same routine over and over again without breaks. If one person is out of step, it throws everybody else off."
Wells said show choir competitions are often endurance contests.
It looked that way. The 50 or so students in West Connection sat gasping for air or guzzling water after their performance.
Waiting to go onstage, Rose Vanderwal, 16, a junior who has been in show choir for three years, had the jitters. "I'm so nervous and so anxious, but I am so excited. I love show choir so much."
Afterward, she was nervous about what the judges would say. "I was so proud of us and proud of the way she performed," she said.
Shrank opened his critique with "Great show."
"So many of the things you did, I have been waiting for Central Singers Inc. to do for years," he added.
The finale routine by Central Singers Inc. featured Kadijah Pettie, 16, whose powerful voice helped bring the crowd to its feet at the end.
"I thought we did a great job," Pettie said. "Hopefully, we can take what we've learned and improved on and use them going forward."
North vocal music director Ryan Riewerts said, "Our competition this year was very close. Every group here did a tremendous job.
"We have an incredible group of parents who pulled together to make this happen," he added. "Some people really stepped up in a big way and did a tremendous job."

I just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself to all of you wonderful people on the message boards! I've been a longtime "lurker" so I've finally decided to step out of the shadows.
My name is Rob, I lost my mother to this terrible cancer on January 17th, 2013. From diagnosis to death, she barely made it past two months. When she was diagnosed, I struggled to find answers as to what this cancer exactly was, whether there was a "cure", how long my beloved mother would live and how her quality of life would be affected. Sadly, I only had a brief moment to browse these forums before the next two months of my family's life would become a living hell. But in that short amount of time I was truly blown away by the sense of pure love and unending support that each of you were providing to each other in your respective "times of need".. whether that was losing your loved one and asking for a prayer or going through another round of exhausting chemotherapy and asking for an ear to vent to. I truly felt comforted during my own personal times of emotional struggle even though I had never posted a single word on the forum. For that, I would like to thank each and every one of you.
Last year I was fortunate enough (and honored) to be connected with the foundation to offer my time and energy as a way to give back just a fraction of the love and support I've "taken". Since then, I have been traveling to conferences with other wonderful volunteers and members who have all been affected in various ways by cholangiocarcinoma. I hope to bring a more personal face and social media connection to the foundation in the coming months! I'll be posting some of the photos from our travels on the boards from time to time as we take the foundation "on the road" to widen our already massive, worldwide reach. Everywhere we go, we are often greeted by some of the most respected members of the medical community from the best facilities around the globe. They come up to US to thank us for being there for their patients and families, when in reality we are thankful beyond words for THEIR experience, knowledge and assistance with our efforts to find a cure for this disease! It is a truly humbling thing to see. That being said, we are also forming new relationships every day with physicians, experts, researchers, etc... all who will be pivotal in helping us build a better foundation for YOU.
With this illness, we are all a member of a family we never wanted to be a part of, but rest assured, I can tell you firsthand that this foundation is made up of the most wonderful, selfless people whose every waking minute is spent trying to heal the afflicted, comfort the mourners and honor the departed... and we will not stop.
Thank you for taking a moment to let me ramble and I'm excited to chat with you all in the future and give you a glimpse into the foundation's team efforts.
Love to each and every one of you,
- Son of my beloved mother Becki who was taken from this terrible disease on 1/17/13

PHIL TAYLOR believes winning the World Darts Championship will be the ultimate
tribute to his close friend Sid Waddell.
Legendary commentator Waddell, known as the Voice of Darts, died from bowel
cancer in August at the age of 72.
Now the Ladbrokes world crown has been renamed the Sid Waddell Trophy in his
And 15-time champ Taylor plans to dominate the tournament again when it kicks
off at London's Alexandra Palace on December 14.
The Power said: "It makes it extra special. For me it feels like he has not
even gone because I can still hear his voice. The adverts come on and I can
still hear him.
"I was probably the closest one to Sid and I loved him to bits.
"If I won it this year it would be special for me.
"Trust me, I am trying everything to make sure I win it.
"I had just landed in Australia when I heard the news he had died. It was
horrible and there was nothing I could do. He was mental but a crackpot
genius. I used to tell him he was nuts but I loved him and he was a one-off.
"All these commentators are trying to impersonate him but there will never be
another one."
Waddell's son Dan will present the trophy to the winner on New Year's Day.

iOS comes with a feature in the Clock application that lets you set a timer for music to stop playing. With this feature, if you're playing music from the Music application that comes pre-installed on your iOS device, you can set a timer, and when the timer goes off, the music still stop playing, which is perfect for listening to music to fall asleep.
Unfortunately, Apple only supports their Music application with this feature, so you can't use it with third-party music applications like Pandora, Spotify, and other music-streaming applications. Fortunately, those that jailbreak their devices can install a new free jailbreak tweak called Slumber by iOS developer Adam N. Smith.
Slumber will make it so that if you're listening to music with a third-party music application like Pandora or Spotify to fall alseep, you can set a timer with the iOS Clock application that will shut off the music from those third-party music applications when the timer goes off.
This tweak is perfect for those that don't use Apple's Music application and want a way to fall asleep to their music without worrying about their device playing music all night long.
The tweak adds a preferences pane to the Settings application where you can easily enable or disable the tweak on demand:
If you would like to grab Slumber, it's available for free in Cydia's BigBoss repository. It requires iOS 7 to be installed.
Name: Slumber
Price: FREE
Version: 1.0-35
Requirements: iOS 7.0-7.0.6
Tested on: iPhone 5 running iOS 7.0.6
Repo: BigBoss
Developer: Adam N. Smith
Editor's Rating: 5/5

Two people were burned in an explosion at a Rancho San Diego apartment complex Thursday afternoon, a fire official said.
Firefighters headed to the Villa Toscana Apartments on Brabham Street, near Jamacha Road, about 2:40 p.m., Cal Fire Capt. Kendal Bortisser said. Only one unit was affected.
A man and a woman were taken to the burn unit at UC San Diego Medical Center, Bortisser said.
A preliminary investigation indicates that honey oil was being extracted in a drug operation in the unit, a sheriff's official said.

The death of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher yesterday (April 8) has helped drive sales of Judy Garland's "Ding-Dong! The Witch Is Dead" from the Wizard Of Oz. The song's recent rise is the result of a new Facebook campaign asking anti-Thatcher supporters to request the song in hopes that it will hit No. 1 on the U.K. charts.
The Official Charts Company, the industry standard charts provider for the U.K., reported that the song is currently at No. 54 on the Top 200 songs chart and will "likely move into the Official Singles Chart Top 40 in its own right by Sunday if it maintains its current momentum."
But it's not only Garland's version that is placing in the charts; Ella Fitzgerald's 1961 version is currently at No. 146 with the Munchkins' cover at No. 183.
Elvis Costello's "Tramp The Dirt Down," an actual anti-Thatcher ode, is also making its way up the charts, landing at No. 80 on iTunes chart in the United Kingdom.
Some English musicians have expressed their condolences (like Spice Girl Geri Halliwell, who later deleted her tweet after fans questioned her support), while others have continued to express their distaste of the first and only female Prime Minister.
In a letter published on The Daily Beast, Morrissey continued to express his hate for the woman who inspired his song "Margaret on the Guillotine," calling her "a terror without an atom of humanity."
"Thatcher will only be fondly remembered by sentimentalists who did not suffer under her leadership," he wrote. "But the majority of British working people have forgotten her already, and the people of Argentina will be celebrating her death."
Singer Billy Bragg, who wrote "Thatcherites" in 1996, took to his Facebook, writing a message with a bit more compassion than Moz's diatribe.
"This is not a time for celebration," he wrote. "The death of Margaret Thatcher is nothing more than a salient reminder of how Britain got into the mess that we are in today."
He continues by asking his fellow Englishmen and women to take action to change the current state of their home country.
"Raising a glass to the death of an infirm old lady changes none of this," he said. "The only real antidote to cynicism is activism. Don't celebrate – organise!"

Balsams Grand Resort Hotel is launching the Great North Woods 30k Classic, a new cross country race event, after a hiatus of several years in racing at this prime Nordic venue.
"We have not hosted a cross country race in several years," said Balsams' David Donohue, "but this year we are going to have 5k, 10k, and 30k tracks, with tasting stations."
Those who know the Balsams understand the possibilities in those tasting stations. The resort is well-known for its exquisite kitchen, and many people go there year after year for meals alone.
The resort has 90k of cross country trails that are groomed nightly, and that allows skiers to glide over fields, through woods, up and down hills, and alongside lakes, ponds, and streams.
It is truly a lovely northern New England setting.
The event encompasses three races, of 5k, 10k, and 30k, designed for novice, intermediate, and expert skiers. Food stations along the race courses will offer gourmet treats from Balsams chefs.
An apres-race reception also offers gourmet foot and prizes. Racing begins at 11 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 27. Registration fee is $60. Hotel guests get to participate at no cost.

I have this trick of making chain mail with soda can tabs. The mail looks best if all the tabs are bent to exactly the same angle, which is very hard to do without a jig. So I printed this custom insert for a commercial pair of jeweler's forming pliers, which indexes and bends a single tab exactly the same way each time.
Print on FFF platform of your choice. It fits in place of the factory nylon jaw in Rio Grande's Forming Pliers with One Nylon Jaw (catalog #111605) using two small (#3?) wood screws through factory mounting holes in underside of jaw.

Amazing! I've been using a staple remover to bend the tabs, This will be so much easier and faster! Too bad I have to wait until Feb. to get my 3D printer. Thanks for the awesome idea/3D model! You Rock.
Nice. Nice tutorial, too.
I hope they wont change the design on the tap opener on you too soon.
NICE, i have this same trick when i make soda maille, good tool addition for sure.
What drinks have the different color tabs?Â
 Krylon, Rustoleum, etc. :)
Actually, those aren't painted. Â Red Bull sugar free, for instance, has a light-blue anodized tab, and if you start to look around, you can find factory-anodized tabs all across the spectrum. Â And there are folks on eBay and Etsy who collect them and sell them to crafters, which is where I got mine. Â

Before the revisionist My Fair Lady opened on Broadway, Richard Chamberlain went on the warpath, trying to get his co-star sacked in favor of her understudy. Without having seen the understudy -- but having endured Melissa Errico's hapless Eliza Doolittle -- one can be sure Chamberlain was right about her. Rarely has a plum Broadway role been so ineptly handled. While Errico sings gloriously if unimaginatively, she is an unconvincing Cockney whose linguistic foibles wobble from syllable to syllable, quite a handicap in a show about the social importance of accents. She is plausible only in two feminist-flavored moments, denouncing Chamberlain's...

Ranger Boats announced today that cash payouts through its Ranger Cup University program will increase during the 2013 season.

A $2,000 cash prize will be awarded to any qualified team/angler that wins either the FLW College National Championship Beaver Lake (April 19-21) or the BoatU.S. Collegiate Championship at Pickwick Lake (May 23-25).

In addition, the highest-finishing Ranger Cup University qualified team/angler will also receive automatic entry into the Ranger Cup University Challenge, scheduled for Aug. 7-8 at Lake Fork in Texas.

Two members of a Danville family are facing several federal charges in connection with a securities fraud that netted nearly $3 million. Nasser Hamedani, 71, and his daughter Sholeh Hamedani, 42, were taken into custody Monday morning at their home in Blackhawk by officers with the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
U.S. Attorney Joseph Russoniello said the pair faces a 12 count grand jury indictment that was made public Monday. According to the indictments, the Hamedanis raised millions of dollars from investors for a start-up company called the Children's Internet Inc. The funds were to be used to develop and market software to protect children while they used the Internet.
Russoniello said instead the pair diverted approximately $1.2 million of those funds for personal expenses, including home mortgages, vehicles and gambling.
The indictment also alleges that they used hidden accounts to trade shares in their company to generate an additional $1.6 million in profits. They have been charged with securities fraud, obstruction of justice, false statements to accountants, falsifying records and conspiracy.
After their arrest Monday, both of the Hamedanis were brought before Federal Magistrate Edward Chen in San Francisco. They were each released on a $500,000 bond, placed on home detention and forced to submit to electronic monitoring. They were to return to court July 30 to appear again before Judge Chen.

BRETT Lee says he is looking forward to defending comments he made calling for Cricket NSW chief executive David Gilbert to be sacked instead of coach Anthony Stuart for the poor performances of the Blues over the past 18 months.
Lee was charged on Friday by Cricket Australia for allegedly breaching rule six of its code of conduct, which concerns unbecoming behaviour, and rule nine (for detrimental public comment). Under the code, players must not bring the game into disrepute or harm the interests of cricket. Lee was reported by Cricket NSW after an interview with Fairfax Media last Sunday.
The woes of Cricket NSW include reports of disharmony among players with management, and the loss of several players to other states, such as Usman Khawaja, Phillip Hughes and Peter Forrest, who left because they did not believe they could improve under the NSW structure.
There were also concerns about the running of the Sydney Thunder Big Bash League team, which is part-owned by Cricket NSW.
Lee will appear before a committee of Cricket NSW board members and a code of behaviour commissioner appointed by Cricket Australia at a date to be confirmed.
The former Australian fast bowler defended his comments on Friday.
''What I said, I meant. I did it in the best interests of NSW cricket,'' Lee said on Channel Nine. ''I've loved playing every moment for NSW and I feel over the last five or six years it's gone off the boil.
''I believe that with [NSW] losing all these players, there's a lot of people that probably thought about it, but didn't want to say it, so I took this decision to actually stand up and I believe that should start right from the top, and that's why I mentioned David Gilbert up there.''
Lee's former NSW teammate, Michael Slater, echoed his sentiments. ''A lot of ex-NSW players and those that are surrounding the set-up even now are worried about what's happening there, so let's hope if there is change needed, it's prompt and in accordance with what everyone is going to be happy with ultimately,'' he said.
Gilbert said he would be happy to smoke the peace pipe with Lee but added it was important Cricket Australia took action.
''I have been racking my brain as to why Brett feels so angry and upset with me and the comments weren't just directed at me, they were directed at Cricket NSW,'' he said.
''That's a point that needs to be made very clearly and that's why our board has made the decision it has done - the rule is very clear, you can't make detrimental public comment that denigrates a state association, or Cricket Australia or ICC.
''That's why the board had to take the action it did. Not to have taken the action would have been weak and sent a terrible message to the rest of the playing group that, 'guys, say whatever you want, because there'll be no consequences'.''

"I broke down on the flight back from Vietnam, went crazy, shouting, screaming. It took several men to restrain me. . . . For years it was all I could think about, going home. Then when it finally happened, I snapped."
"I'm sorry. Did you ever consider professional help?"
"No, but I should have," he said. "I know that now."
The above, from "Gecko" (Bootleg Press, 2003) by Jack Priest, introduces a character named "Monopoly Jim" Monday, recipient of the Silver Star, Navy Cross and the Congressional Medal of Honor. To stay sane while in captivity, Monday played the board game "Monopoly" in his head. Today — remember this is fiction — he's a real estate magnate in Long Beach, California. And he would still probably benefit from professional help.
Works of hard-boiled fiction about emotionally twisted Vietnam veterans who survived the war, only to return home to an ungrateful nation, began appearing on U.S. bookstands even before the war ended. In 1972, the year Richard Nixon sent bombers over Hanoi, David Morrell published "First Blood," basis for the first of three Sylvester Stallone films (a fourth is presently in the works), which was released in 1982.
In Morrell's novel, John Rambo, a special-forces veteran, while passing through a small town in the U.S. northwest, is mistaken for a vagrant and hassled by a redneck chief of police. Mistreatment at the hands of deputies triggers memories of the torture Rambo underwent while a POW. He snaps, escaping from the town jail and fleeing into the nearby wilderness, where he manages to hold off a small army of cops and military reservists who pursue him. Eventually Rambo winds up destroying half the town.
Civilian cops, it seems, are no match for a merciless killing machine whose survival skills were honed to perfection in the jungles of Southeast Asia.
As the national angst over the Vietnam war spread into cinema, Vietvets such as John Rambo, or Travis Bickel (played by Robert De Niro in the violent 1976 film "Taxi Driver"), were portrayed as walking wounded — gothic tales about zombie-like men unable to exorcise the demons of their past.
Now in their mid-50s and definitely showing signs of aging, their survival skills have still not deserted them. Robert Crais' L.A. private eye Elvis Cole and his partner Joe Pike are both decorated veterans. In "The Last Detective" (Ballantine books, 2004), the kidnapping of the son of Cole's love interest appears to be motivated out of revenge for something that happened to Cole in Vietnam. (A bloody battle scene is told in flashback.) But as Cole was his unit's sole survivor, who's left to come gunning for him?
Nelson DeMille, who saw combat in Vietnam as an infantry officer, has produced two novels related to the war. His most recent and better of the two, "Up Country" (Warner Vision, 2003), involves army CID investigator Paul Brenner returning to modern Vietnam in the guise of a tourist to shed light on the murder of an American officer that took place during the notorious Tet Offensive of 1968.
Michael Connelly's series' character, an L.A. homicide cop named Hieronymus ("Harry") Bosch, grew up in foster homes after his mother was murdered, and wound up in Vietnam as a "tunnel rat" — one of a band of small, wiry and very tough men whose jobs involved pursuing enemy guerrillas into booby-trapped subterranean tunnels. In "Lost Light" (Warner Vision, 2003), four toughs with shotguns follow Bosch to his home in an attempt to kill him. As Connelly writes:
I had nothing to use as a weapon except a shard of old iron pipe. Still, it was enough. I had survived more missions into the tunnels of Vietnam than I could remember. . . . And I had lived and worked for twenty-five-plus years on the streets of this city with a badge. This kid was going to be no match for me. I knew none of them would be.
Despite the willingness of these middle-aged Vietvets to engage in violence, hardly any kept on refining their martial skills after returning home. One exception would be the protagonist of "Avenger" (Thomas Dunne Books 2003), by British author Frederick Forsythe. Cal Dexter, another former "tunnel rat" famed for his uncanny skills, occasionally slips away from his legal practice to work as a lone wolf mercenary whose identity, like a comic book superhero, is kept hidden. Hired to pursue a vicious Serbian war criminal who has surrounded himself with bodyguards in a fictional Central American country, Dexter shows himself to be a master of subterfuge.
The literary Vietvet most capable of wreaking mayhem at the moment is Barry Eisler's assassin for hire, John Rain. Since his debut in "Rain Fall" (Signet, 2002), the half-Japanese, half-American martial-arts expert has snapped necks and bludgeoned heads in two subsequent works.
Books on the exploits of Vietvets may constitute a sort of "Bridges of Madison County" for middle-age thriller fans. While these aging veterans have enjoyed a good run, the time is fast approaching for them to hang up their M16s and move on to a well-deserved retirement.

Hello Boys & Girls,
So the Elimination Chamber is this Sunday, and I see a lot of opportunity for the WWE to have a great month and a half leading to a well thought out, and fun Wrestlemania 29 PPV.
Do I think what I propose in this blog post will happen??? Well No….maybe some of it....maybe none of it....but nonetheless I think it would make for compelling T.V. for

If you're ready to work on your triple Axels, the Union Square ice rink opens today.
While it's not large enough to play out your Mighty Duck fantasies of doing a flying V across the ice with a group of friends, you can do a few Nancy Kerrigan spins across the ice (just try to refrain from crying like Tonya Harding if your ice skate lace breaks mid turn).
Open through Jan. 20, skating sessions are broken into 90-minute blocks from 10 a.m.-11 p.m. and admission is $11 general/$7 for children 8 and under; skate rentals will put you back $5. (Side note from many years of renting skates during my childhood in Wisconsin: Women, try renting men's skates, they can be a bit more comfortable.)
For more information on purchasing tickets and their special events (Polar bear skate, anyone?), check out their website, unionsquareicerink.com. We'll see you on the ice.

Have y'all seen (500) Days of Summer?
If not, you should remedy that situation immediately. It's a charming lil' piece of cinema. It also sports a not-at-all subtle nod to Song of the South, as seen above.
It's neat that despite attempts to sweep Song of the South under the rug, its cultural influence remains largely undiminished, especially in film.
I mean, it's totally understood that a bluebird swooping in means good times aplenty. And let me tell you — it's a legit good times in the scene above, hoo boy.
I love to see that old Disney clip. Thanks for putting it up again. I'll go see the new version this weekend, but I bet the song's not as good!
Still enjoying our Japanese DVD of SOTS waiting for Disney to get their act together. C'mon folks!
[…] (500) Days of Summer and Happy Blue Birds […]
Don't forget the zip-a-dee-doo-dah scene in "Fletch Lives."
Utterly understand what your stance in this matter. Though Id disagree on some of the finer particulars, I think you did an superior job explaining it. Certain beats having to analysis it on my own. Thanks. Anyway, in my language, there arent a lot good supply like this.

Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud said that "unnamed hands" targeting Islam and the Arabs are behind recent events in the region. In a recent televised address to a conference of prominent Saudis, the monarch did not name any country. But Saudi officials have used similar terms to suggest a connection with Shiite Iran, the AP reported.
"There were hands that are known to you all ... behind what has happened in the Arab world, regrettably targeting Islam and the Arabs," Abdullah said.
Saudi Arabia is wary of the wave of Arab Spring uprisings, particularly in nearby Bahrain as well as its eastern part which harbors the Shiite minority.

Timing marks on a 235 ci Inline 6
Hello, could someone tell me where the timing marks are on a late 70's/early 80's 235 ci inline 6 cylinder? I've searched the web for a bit now and can't find any tune up specs or anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Faulconer's new hepatitis spinmeister
Public relations honcho tackles city hall's deadly disease meltdown
Matt Potter 2 p.m., Sept. 26
"This isn't [Richard Simmons's] 'Sweatin' to the Oldies,' " says Techno Sweat CEO Rick L. Frimmer, whose Carlsbad company sells music downloads and CDs remixed at various BPM (beats per minute); the music is designed to assist athletes in training.
"Most of our songs are available at five different speeds, geared for different types of workouts, like aerobic, cardio, [and] treadmill training." Continuous-play music programmed at speeds from 128 BPM to 155 BPM cost from $5.99 to $8.99; a 30-minute sample download costs $5.99.
The music comes from four sources: Techno Sweat originals by Israeli composer/performer Silicon Monk, licensed music from established artists (Metallica, Tears for Fears, Gnarls Barkley, others), songs submitted by performers for remixing, and prerecorded music submitted by athletes who want to reprogram BPM in their favorite workout songs.
Frimmer says no licensing permission is necessary to alter prerecorded music submitted by athletes who want their favorite songs sped up or slowed down.
"Those [CDs and downloads] are custom recorded for the customer.... We don't run multiple copies of their workout set list and sell them to other people, so we don't need [to arrange licensing with] the original performers."
Providing music for athletes is a growing industry. Nike sells running shoes with a music transmitter and is working with Apple on a workout chart designed for iPods. Oakley sunglasses offers a sports model with a built-in MP3 player. Swim goggles by Finis can be purchased with an underwater MP3 player.


text: I am truly loving all of the responses! This question came about with a discussion a friend of mine and I were having. Being a Christian (or whatever your religion is) is about your personal relationship and walk with God. If that path leads you to attend service regularly than so be it. If it leads you to give of your time and read The Word and worship at home that's okay to. I really don't feel there's a right or wrong answer. I go when I feel I need to, but I always try to live by his word as much as possible. 😊

Handhelds are often a haven for quirky, off-the-wall yet highly addictive titles. Yet another is on the way for the PSP, and itÆs called Patapon. It follows in the tradition of rhythm-based titles like PaRappa the Rapper, only it also implements an element of strategy into the gameplay, which results in one of the most interesting blends weÆve ever seen. Basically, players will lead the little Patapons into battle and they will march to the beat of a battle drum, which you have to control. If you can manage to hit the right notes at the right time, your troops will respond quickly and efficiently. If youÆre lacking musical capability and canÆt keep the beat ¢ like Steve Martin in ōThe Jerkö ¢ than your army wonÆt respond and will be in imminent danger. We have no idea who came up with this idea, and while weÆve seen other games that seek to combine elements from two different genres, this is entirely new. In fact, it may very well be the most unique concept thus far in 2008, so PSP owners should pay attention. If you want a wholly new experience, check this out.
The storyline is actually a little depressing, but youÆll soon see the uplifting side of the following scenario. The Patapons were once a faithful and flourishing tribe, and they took it upon themselves to scour the planet for something they called ōIT.ö But when they left to search, the nasty Zigatons immediately took over the Patapon homeland ¢ only recently abandoned for ōITö ¢ and the Patapons could never return. Morale was obviously low, and the defeated tribe lost faith in two things- 1. the magical war drums that propelled them successfully into battle, and 2. the ōAlmighty.ö You actually control the ōAlmightyö (youÆre allowed to choose another name for him, her, whatģwhatever), and itÆs you who must lead the Patapons to victory. One brave little dude by the name of Hatapon hears the war drums, picks up the banner and leads the charge to reclaim his homeland. So this sounds like a plucky little tale about down-and-out heroes who must find a way to regroup and take back what is rightfully theirs. Not bad, eh? But as we said, you, the ōAlmightyö must be the brains ¢ and the beat ¢ behind the operation.
If youÆre familiar with any rhythm games, you can probably guess the style of gameplay. ThereÆs a box at the edge of the screen, and this box dictates the beat you must follow. By hitting the correct face buttons at the correct time, you will issue orders to the little Patapons and they will obey you; miss the beat, and your commands will fall on deaf ears. Obviously, as the game progresses, the beat will get faster and more complex, which means your reflexes will get quite the workout. But if you can string together a bunch of flawless beats, youÆll hit ōFever Mode,ö which means your soldiers will move at a faster pace and deliver stronger blows to their opponents. Essentially, you need to make sure you keep the beat without losing control; if you just canÆt get a handle on one particularly tricky rhythm, youÆll probably have to start over. Practice makes perfect with any game, but when itÆs a rhythm game, sometimes you just have to wrap your brain around a piece of music. Thing is, thatÆs a little different than simply trying to nail down a simple button combo. Nope, need some true timing, here, folks!
So thatÆs the gameplay foundation; it all relies on your own reflexes and timing. But thereÆs a lot more involved in Patapon and it actually revolves around the strategy aspects of the game. As is the case in certain real-time strategy titles, you will have several different units to choose from. For example, there are a couple ranged units to go along with the front-line attackers; the latter are the buff and brave Tatapons, while there are also spear-chucking dudes called Yaripons and archers called Yumipons. It also seems there will be a robust upgrade system for each unit, as defeated enemies will drop a variety of items and weapons, which you can then equip on your own soldiers. You can obtain new stuff by playing one of the many min-games included in the game, although we havenÆt determined if your units will actually gain experience. We know youÆre rewarded for your efforts with the new items and equipment, but are there specific abilities we can enhance as we go along? Will each member of the unit have special skills, or is everything group-oriented? These are questions that have yet to be answered, but thereÆs plenty here to interest usģand it should interest you, too. How many games have you played that involve both rhythm timing and strategy tactics? Yeah, not many, weÆd guess.
By the way, weÆd just like to say that thereÆs a lot of humor going on in this game (if you hadnÆt already noticed). For example, the currency used is called ōKa-Chingö (hahaha!), and provided you have enough of the right kind of item, you can resurrect fallen warriors at the Tree of Life in Patapolis. Of course, you can only resurrect if your poor little solider hasnÆt already been eaten by enemy soldiers or guardian spirits. DoesnÆt this whole thing sound wonderfully quirky? We were kinda hoping the game would offer a multiplayer or online mode of some kind, though, because the developers may have missed out on a big opportunity. Then again, perhaps it would be extraordinarily challenging to implement multiplayer into a gaming concept like thisģwe still wouldÆve liked the option, but we understand the inherent difficulty. And besides, all we ever hear nowadays are veteran gamers complaining there just isnÆt enough ōoriginalityö or ōinnovationö in new games, so Patapon should be refreshing for all the naysayers out there. Not only will it be refreshing, itÆll be almost entirely fresh and new, so donÆt think for a second developers are out of ideas!
The game is scheduled to arrive on February 26, and if you like this very unique and very interesting idea, we strongly suggest giving Patapon a try.

AS I LAY DYING Singer "Set Up" Says Attorney In Murder-For-Hire Case
May 11, 2013, 4 years ago
AS I LAY DYING frontman Tim Lambesis may have been set up in a murder for hire plot against his wife says his attorney Anthony Salerno, and his premptive early intervention made a huge difference in the charges filed against him and the bail that was set as the vocalist plead Not Guilty to the charge of solicitation of murder. Check out more details in the Artisan News report below:
NBC San Diego Diana Guevara and R. Stickney reported yesterday (May 10th) that Lambesis appeared tired and expressionless in the Vista courtroom Thursday. Lambesis, in custody since his arrest Tuesday, was ordered to be held on $3 million bail after a quick arraignment in a Vista courtroom. Lambesis, an alum of Santa Fe Christian High School, was just about to join a summer tour with the band when he was arrested in Oceanside by San Diego County sheriff's deputies. Prosecutors claim Lambesis approached someone from his gym on April 23rd and allegedly asked if the person knew anyone who could kill his wife. The metalled was motivated because he felt it would be better for the children to have a healthy relationship with one parent prosecutors allege.
Then on May 7th, he met with an undercover agent named "Red". Lambesis allegedly told the agent that he wanted his wife "gone" and to "never see her again" prosecutors said.
Watch video of Lambesis' arraignment below, and read NBC San Diegio's full report at this location.

The first quarter didn't look promising but ultimately, UVa rolled over VMI on Saturday in Charlottesville thanks to big days from running backs Kevin Parks and Daniel Hamm. The Wahoos put up 580 yards of total offense, including 357 on the ground, in the 49-0 rout of the Keydets.
It certainly didn't seem like UVa was on its way to that kind of win during the game's first 15 minutes. Sophomore quarterback David Watford struggled early, throwing two interceptions that killed UVa drives in the opening period.
The first pick came on the team's third drive (after the first ended with a punt and the second a turnover on downs) when his pass at the goal line was intercepted by VMI's Doug Moore. The second INT came on Virginia's next possession, this time on a 1st and 10 at the Keydet 27-yard line. The tipped pass was corralled by James Fruehan, who returned it to the Wahoo 39-yard line.
But UVa's defense was stout all day, only allowing 79 yards of total offense. It showed its muscle six plays after the second interception. With VMI driving, the Hoos forced the Keydets into a turnover on downs on a 4th and 2 at the 30-yard line and on the ensuing drive, Virginia finally got its offense going.
Parks set a career high with 135 yards on 17 carries (7.9 yards per carry) and two touchdowns and posted 204 yards of total offense. He busted out the longest run of his career on UVa's first possession of the second quarter: A 61-yard TD with 12:38 left in the half. It was the longest run by a Cavalier since 2008 and it put Virginia up 7-0.
Parks found the end zone again with 3:09 left until halftime, this time on a 2-yard run that capped a 12-play, 62-yard drive. Up 14-0, it appeared that the home team was finally on the way to the blowout most expected.
With UVa's defense controlling the Keydets handily (Virginia posted the first shutout since 2008), the Wahoos broke away from the conservative play calling to that point with about 2:00 left in the half. Watford attempted a deep throw down the right sideline to Tim Smith and drew a penalty for defensive pass interference. On the next play, the two connected for a 38-yard touchdown on a beautiful deep ball throw down the middle of the field.
On a day where the defense held VMI to less that five first down for the first time since 1979, that was easily enough to secure the win. But the second half was barely underway before the Hamm show began.
First, Watford found Parks on a swing pass for 54 yards on the opening play from scrimmage. Then Hamm, a true freshman making his college debut, found the end zone from 7 yards out. He scored again later, this time on a 12-yard run with 13:52 left to play that ended up being the game's final score.
The UVa track athlete and walk-on football player finished with 21 attempts for 136 yards and gave the Cavaliers two 100-yard rushers since Jason Snelling and Wali Lundy against Temple in 2005.
"Going into the open week, we wanted to work on some things we thought we needed to do to become a better football team," London said. "Obviously, that first quarter wasn't indicative of the things we worked on. I thought the second quarter, with the three scores, the long pass, being able to put some running yards together, and then particularly playing the second half [that] those are the things...that we wanted to do and what we practiced and what we want to be."
London was very complimentary of Hamm, who he said moved up quickly the past few weeks and, with UVa having to go without running backs Taquan Mizzell and Khalek Shepherd due to injury, Hamm's number was called early and often.
"We knew that we were kind of banged up [at running back] a little bit," London explained. "[Hamm] had practiced and actually done a pretty nice job in practice...He came to us as a walk-on from track and wanted to play football. Three weeks ago, he was running with the scout team and then today, he gets over 100 yards. Ran tough, ran hard. You saw that the skill set that he has is speed and durability."
While Hamm was the workhorse, Parks carried the team early and his contributions put the game away when fans were getting somewhat anxious.
"K-P," London said smiling. "There were a couple of really tough runs that he had where he stayed on his feet, the primary tackler made contact, and he stayed on his feet and gained additional yardage. He did a great job today being a tough runner, broke some open-field runs, and caught the ball coming out of the backfield. It was a very productive game for him."
Outside of Parks and Hamm, there was more offense to be seen. Watford and the Cavaliers put together another long drive midway through the second quarter, this one an 11-play, 67-yard drive capped by Watford's TD pass to Jake McGee that put the Hoos up 35-0.
Watford, a sophomore signal caller from Hampton, also found the end zone on the ground, scoring on a 1-yard TD with 3:06 left in the third that put UVa up 42-0. He finished the day 18 of 25 passing for 206 yards passing with two TDs and those two interceptions.
Several true freshmen made their debuts for the Cavaliers in addition to Hamm. Linemen Sadiq Olanrewaju, Eric Smith, and Eric Tetlow (offense) and Donte Wilkins (defense) all saw their first college action. So too did defensive end/linebacker Max Valles and running back LaChaston Smith.
Wilkins recovered a fumble in his collegiate debut while linebacker Demeitre Brim recorded his first career fumble recover and defensive end Trent Corney posted the first sacks (two), forced fumble, and pass breakup as a Cavalier.
With the win, UVa advanced to 2-1 on the season and face their first game away from Scott Stadium next weekend when the Cavaliers travel to Pittsburgh in Virginia's ACC opener.
"You're satisfied right now," London said, "but you can't stay satisfied because now we go on our first road game here for a conference game against a good Pittsburgh team."

Watch: Sabres' Kane, Panthers' Petrovic fight three times
Alex Petrovic and Evander Kane dropped the mitts not once, not twice but three times in Tuesday's meeting between the Panthers and Sabres.
So Alex Petrovic & Evander Kane fought THREE times tonight! Both got game misconducts after the 3rd bout. #FLAvsBUF pic.twitter.com/tithgTk6Tn— Cristiano Simonetta (@CMS_74_) February 10, 2016
The Panthers defeated the Sabres soundly, 7–4, but the fights, however, went the way of Buffalo's winger. I imagine fans in Western New York are not huge fans of their sniper scrapping three times in a match.
Kane taunted his adversary after winning the second of three bouts, but it took place while his team was losing 5–2.
WATCH: Evander Kane taunts Alex Petrovic after their second fight. His team was down 5-2. https://t.co/G6fZvVBxWY pic.twitter.com/5pDydaHg9D— CBS Sports NHL (@CBSSportsNHL) February 10, 2016
Kane already has his fair share of critics. We will see if Tuesday goes down as a night he fought for the team or one where his antics further proved immaturity. One things Kane's haters cannot gripe on, though, is his ability and willingness to get his hands dirty.
