Update, 12:43 a.m.: Montgomery County Democrats cheered the victories of Van Hollen and President Barack Obama at a watch party in Rockville Tuesday evening.
"My enthusiasm for Barack Obama and for Chris Van Hollen drew me out tonight," said Chevy Chase democrat Mary McMahon. "I'm absolutely ecstatic about our victories."
Van Hollen told Patch he was working to get to know his new constituents in the newly re-drawn District 8, meeting with business owners, farmers and students in Carroll and Frederick counties.
"I'm looking forward to representing all the people of District 8," Van Hollen said.
As election returns rolled in, Democrats clapped and hugged amidst chants of "four more years."
"You can see there's a lot of energy here," Van Hollen said. "There's a lot of people who have worked very hard and knocked on a lot of doors, and it all comes down to this."
A spokesman for Republican challenger Ken Timmerman didn't return a call for comment Tuesday night.
Update, 9:38 p.m: In an unofficial tally reported on the Maryland Board of Elections website, U.S. Rep. Christopher Van Hollen has taken nearly 70 percent of votes calculated so far, including early voters and a portion of ballots cast Tuesday.
Shortly after 9:30 p.m., Van Hollen had 51,253 votes. Timmerman had 19,915 votes, more than 27 percent of votes tabulated so far.
Libertarian candidate Mark Grannis had 1,200 votes and Green Party candidate George Gluck had 937 votes, the Maryland Board of Elections reported.
Van Hollen declared victory in a statement shortly after 9 p.m.
"I want to thank the voters of Maryland's Eighth District for their support and I will do my best to vigorously fight for the priorities of our community and our country," the statement read. "As I visited polling places today in Frederick, Carroll, and Montgomery Counties, it was great to talk to voters and listen to their concerns. It is clear that there is far more that unites us as a community than divides us. There is much work to be done, and I look forward to working for all parts of the new district as we move America forward."
Original Post: Republican challenger Ken Timmerman will take on incumbent U.S. Rep. Christopher Van Hollen (D) Tuesday for the Congressional seat in Maryland's heavily Democratic District 8.
Van Hollen, a longtime Kensington resident and ranking member on the House Budget Committee, touts health care, education, the environment and open government among his top issues.
Timmerman, a Republican, is also a longtime resident of Kensington. Timmerman writes about defense and intelligence issues, and has testified as an expert witness in terrorism trials in U.S. federal courts and before Congress. He was head of the Maryland Taxpayers Association.
Stick with Patch for details on the District 8 race as polling results are announced.

This likeable, laid-back California guy with his trademark bleached-blond spiky hair began his love affair with food at the age of 10, selling soft pretzels from a three-wheeled bicycle cart (named "The Awesome Pretzel") he built with his father. By selling pretzels and washing dishes, Guy earned enough money in six years to study abroad as an exchange student in Chantilly, France. There he gained a profound appreciation for international cuisine and the lifestyle associated with it. Guy attended University of Nevada Las Vegas, where he graduated with a bachelor's degree in hospitality management.

Let's Pretend This Never Happened
- Watch a video
When Jenny Lawson was little, all she ever wanted was to fit in. That dream was cut short by her fantastically unbalanced father and a morbidly eccentric childhood. It did, however, open up an opportunity for Lawson to find the humor in the strange shame-spiral that is her life, and we are all the better for it.
In the irreverent Let's Pretend This Never Happened, Lawson's long-suffering husband and sweet daughter help her uncover the surprising discovery that the most terribly human moments—the ones we want to pretend never happened—are the very same moments that make us the people we are today. For every intellectual misfit who thought they were the only ones to think the things that Lawson dares to say out loud, this is a poignant and hysterical look at the dark, disturbing, yet wonderful moments of our lives.
Readers Guide Inside
-Jen Lancaster
"The Bloggess writes stuff that actually is laugh-out-loud, but you know that really you shouldn't be laughing and probably you'll go to hell for laughing, so maybe you shouldn't read it. That would be safer and wiser."
-Neil Gaiman
"Jenny Lawson is hilarious, snarky, witty, totally inappropriate, and 'Like Mother Teresa, Only Better.'"
-Marie Claire magazine
"Jenny Lawson's writing is nothing less than revolutionary. . . . I say this without a hint of exaggeration: She may be one of the most progressive women's voices of our time."
-Karen Walrond, author of The Beauty of Different

I'm sorry, I didn't intend to come off as rude or condescending. Felix and Silas are great names, they just aren't unisex names in the eyes of most of the world, so weird looks and questions are going to follow every time she introduces herself. It's not the end of the world, but it might be hard to live with, especially if she's very shy or self conscious, being named Felix would draw a lot of unwanted attention and assumptions. I was a shy kid and would have been very stressed out by stuff like that. I like the idea of something like Maxine, nn Max, because it gives her options. I love when names give kids options, especially if it's an unusual name, because you never know how the kid will identify. A bubbly, outgoing, rough and tumble little girl might love being a Max, but a shy, bookish girl might prefer to be a Maxine. Silas or Felix on that shy, bookish girl might be very uncomfortable for her. Of course, you're the mom and if you have your heart set on using a traditionally masculine name on a girl then go for it, and hopefully your kiddo will have the personality to carry it happily, and doesn't care if people are always asking if her parents wanted a boy. Even with a simple, traditional name like Anna you couldn't guarantee that she'll like her name, I suppose.
I really don't want to hurt your feelings or anything, it's just my honest opinion on the names. I love your taste in girls names and would be delighted to see you use one of them as a first name. Rowan and Flora? Or Cora? Or Maxine? Or Alys? Or any of your beautiful choices? So great! And no need to defend yourself/herself against the "but that's a boy's name" comments, since they do seem to bother you and they aren't likely to go away. I won't personally say another word about it in your threads, though, because you have my opinion already now. I will just say I like your middle name choices very much and think they are worthy of being considered for the spotlight of being first names.
May 31st, 2013 07:19 AM #24
Don't get mad, but realize that if you go against taboos, not everyone is going to agree with it. Names in English normally signal gender (unlike in some languages, like I understand Tibetan is rather unisex). I read a great article (I think it was on Nameberry) by a man named Chelsea. It was interesting to see his perspective, as most of the things that happened to him were unintentionally... i.e. being assigned a locker in the girls' locker room, people thinking he'd stolen his gf's credit card (and making him provide an id), etc. Some people will stand up saying, "The genders are the same, why distinguish through names?" While I can see where they're coming from, I'd recommend taking a bit to consider the practical, real-life ramifications of having a boy's name as a girl. After all, the male Chelsea (whose name was not feminine when he was born) did demand an explanation from his parents on why they used it... and I think all parents (regardless of the name they choose) should be confident enough with their name choice that if their child demands an explanation, they are willing to take responsibility for their decision.
Out of all of your choices, I like Maxine, nn Max... Maybe Maxine Fay?Emiliana Pari (or Valentina Hasti?) Debuts July 2014Soren Pasha, Caspian Bardia

While Kansas State has a leg up on the rest of the league in the race for the Big 12 championship, not much else is decided, or even likely, in terms of conference positioning and bowl possibilities. Five teams still have realistic chances at second place in the league, and only Kansas, with seven losses, has been eliminated from bowl consideration.
Given an entirely reasonable set of game outcomes on Saturday, every league team other than Kansas State could have two losses by the end of the day.
Big 12 teams have combines for 68 scoring drives that took less than a minute through Oct. 27 games. Overall, the league boasts 127 touchdown drives consisting of five or fewer plays. Scoring from long range has also been constant, with 36 scoring plays of 50-plus yards and 15 of 80-plus yards.
WHile Big 12 offenses continue to pile up publicity almost as fast as yardage and points, its instructive to note that the three teams which have given up the fewest points this year in league games are the three at the top of the league standings. Kansas State (94 points) Oklahoma (72) and Oklahoma State (79) hold down positions 1-3 in the standings, and also are the top three stingiest defenses to date.
Those numbers may change due to the opposition to be faced in the coming weeks, but it shouldn't be a mystery as to why those three teams have a combined two league losses to date.
QB Nick Florence passed for 426 yards against Iowa State, the sixthbest
single-game total in program history. Florence has passed for at
least 289 yards in all seven games this season.
Sirius/XM: 112/200
QB Steele Jantz tied two school records with 36 completions and five
touchdown passes in the Cyclones' win over Baylor.
Sirius/XM: 117/202
Kansas' 98-yard scoring drive in the second quarter was its longest of
the season and the longest since a 99-yard drive against New Mexico
State in 2010.
Sirius/XM: 112/200
K-State was 6-of-6 in the red zone on Saturday with four touchdowns
and two field goals. The Wildcats are 41-of-46 in the red zone this
Sirius/XM: 92/194
WR Jalen Saunders broke the OU record for most receptions in a
quarter with eight in the first period vs. Notre Dame. His 15 receptions
for the game tied a school record.
Sirius/XM: 117/202
RB Joseph Randle has passed the 100-yard rushing mark in six of
seven games this season. He finished with 126 rushing yards and a
TD against TCU.
During Mack Brown's 15 seasons at Texas, the Horns have registered
27 second-half comebacks, including 16 in the fourth-quarter. The win
over Kansas was the second comback victory of the season.
TCU's streak of 14 consecutive road conference victories was
snapped. It had been the longest in the nation and third-best in the
NCAA since 1996.
Sirius/XM: 138/203
Wide receiver Eric Ward recorded 11 catches for a career-high 161
receiving yards. His previous career-high was 151 yards against
Baylor last season.
Sirius/XM: 137/198
With 233 all-purpose yards vs. K-State, Tavon Austin pushed his
career total to 5,789 and now owns the WVU career record.

This science-based, management program enhances and broadens the skills and knowledge needed to meet the demands and changes of the environmental marketplace - in the private and consulting sectors, government and public agencies, and nonprofit and non-governmental organizations.
The University of San Francisco founded its Master of Science in Environmental Management program nearly 35 years ago. Since then, over 700 graduates have received quality education and training as environmental managers from the program and have established a wide variety of environmental careers at organizations in the United States and throughout the world. The program is offered at USF's main campus in San Francisco.

Meeting and travel industry suppliers, feeling squeezed by what they say are excessive and duplicate requests for funding by industry foundations, held a summit, the first of its kind, to discuss the issue.
At the April 25 meeting, held at the Westin Grand, Washington, D.C., six convention/travel associations and nine major hospitality industry suppliers began to hammer out a blueprint for the way that association foundations are funded. To begin, they agreed that future foundation fundraising campaigns should be project-specific, with a statement and documentation of return on investment for funders. Open-ended fundraisers or capital campaigns — in which general donations are sought, with the money later earmarked for projects by the association — will be eschewed.
The group also decided that a committee would be appointed within the Convention Industry Council to monitor projects and initiatives taken on by the various associations, to facilitate collaboration. In the coming months, details on the operation and composition of the committee will be worked out.
Further, participants discussed creating a "common pot" into which donations would be made for use by the associations, explains David Scypinski, senior vice president, industry relations, Starwood Hotels and Resorts, Washington, D.C. Not all agreed with the concept, but the parties did agree to explore it further at future meetings.
The April meeting was attended by the president and/or chief executive officer of the six industry associations with the largest foundations, including: Meeting Professionals International, Professional Convention Management Association, National Business Travel Association, the American Society of Association Executives and the Center for Association Leadership, International Association for Exhibition Management, and Destination Marketing Association International.
Overall, 11 of CIC's 32 member organizations have foundations. Only the six largest were invited to the summit, but other associations with foundations might be invited to the next meeting.
On the supplier side, nine of the biggest foundation funders were represented, including hotel chains Starwood, Hilton, Hyatt, Marriott, InterContinental, and Gaylord. United Airlines, Freeman Cos., and G.E.S. were there as well. Nancy Morrell-Swanson, president, Global Marketing Services, was the moderator. CIC lawyer Jeff King also attended.

I also like how you employed the most often used example for making thaumatropes because it makes it so much more classic.
This is freaking fabulous. I hope it gets printed. All of my film history students would get it.
I know it's been ages but I still wish you would resub this. Most people may have forgotten about it by now. Maybe if you try different colors (I think they're fine but a lot of people seemed to complain) or just redraw it. This is the most fabulous potential threadless design ever. Please don't hang it up.
I liked your other subs SO much better.
This is wrong.
Sorry, but thanks to Threadless designers, the market for barf-related tees is already saturated. No pun.

Ava® 500
Ava® Platform Opportunities
NorthStar works like an indoor GPS that helps Braava keep track of where it has been and where it needs to go. The NorthStar Navigation Cube projects a signal that Braava uses to determine its location. As Braava cleans, it builds a map of the area, mapping walls, obstacles and drop-offs as it encounters them.
Braava can clean under sofas and tables and get into tight areas where other cleaners can't.
Braava cleans dust and dirt right along walls, baseboards and edges. Its square shape allows Braava to clean dirt and dust hiding in corners.
Smart sensors, including cliff-detection sensors, help Braava avoid stairs, area rugs and raised transitions to carpets.
Cleaning cloths are easy to attach and remove with Braava's removable magnetic multi-purpose cleaning pad. Once a cloth is attached, just set Braava down and press the Sweep button for dry mopping or Mop button for damp mopping.
Braava will clean your floors for you without disrupting your daily activity or sleep.
When Braava is done cleaning, it returns to where it started and powers down automatically.
Cleaning cloths are easy to attach and remove with Braava's removable magnetic cleaning pad.
The rechargeable battery in Braava 380t cleans for up to four hours dry mopping or two and a half hours damp mopping on a single charge. That's 25% more cleaning time than Braava 320.
Braava 380t charges in as fast as four hours with the included adapter or in just two hours with the Turbo Charge Cradle.
Braava retains a map of its cleaning space so you can replace the cleaning cloth mid-cycle and it won't miss a spot.
Braava 380t can be set to clean only open areas and not perform a perimeter clean so you can cover more ground more quickly.

MD Resort in North Fort Worth Texas was recently bestowed a great honor. We were given the red chair. Ok, so your thinking, it is a chair that happens to be red.
The weather outside is frightful, and my dear, it is so delightful, the weather outside is cold, so let it look an awful lot like snow! OK, so it is not really snow. It is a couple inches of solid ice that is white and looks powdery, but we aren't outside making snowballs out of them! We are staying inside because it is pure ice!!!

802 North Charles St., Baltimore, MD | Directions 2120139.298896 -76.615869
Neighborhoods: Mount Vernon
Excellent Lamb Dish – my fiance and I went with his friends.. it was extremely pricey.. they had the best Lamb I have ever tasted! it was worth it!.. was disappointing when they gave such little rice though! I would love to go back! (I think we ordered Lamb Kasmiri)
Worst dining experiences ever – This was the third time we gave this restaurant a chance. The last time we were there, their waiter dropped a glassful of water on a perosn in our party and there were no apologies or even a comped soda. This time, it took them a good amount of time to seat us and then an hour till our order was taken. We found out the manager/owner is also the bartender and order taker. The reason he couldn't seat us right away even though 75% of the restaurant was empty was that he was making martinis. The ONE person they had working the floor did not understand any English. Then, they brought us the wrong dish. Our chai tasted horrible and trust me, I am Indian and make chai at home, so I know how hard it is to mess that up. The entrees came out lukewarm and the seekh kobab was downright cold. The lychee creme brulee had burnt sugar instead of caramelized. Overall, it was probably the worst dining experience we've had in years.
Indigma Review – I tried the lunch buffet which offered a variety of tapas sized offerings. The "buffet" is served table side which gives a much more a la carte feel to the meal. Compared to other Indian restaurants in the area the food tastes much fresher and the use of spices is much better. The food is not as greasy as other Indian restaurants and the price is on par with other offerings in Baltimore. Many Indian food gourmands will enjoy the variety of foods offered in the buffet, but the variety of flavors may be an overwhelming introduction to Indian food for those unaccustomed to Indian dishes. Overall the best in Baltimore.
Beautiful restaurant BUT.... – Indigma is a VERY beautiful space but our party of 4 had a a VERY disappointing Saturday evening in 2009/March. Service was spotty at best; didn't seem to be host or manager on duty - our entrees didn't arrive til 2+ hrs after we ordered (and w/no apology); entrees portions were comparatively expensive ($16-$21) but portions small; chicken was dry & tough, hard to find the lamb in the lamb entree; ditto for the "jumbo shrimp" entree; we were given a small bowl of rice that barely gave two spoonfuls per person. if only the food and service were as good as the restaurant is pretty!
Value for your money – we had meals there few times,each time it was wonderful. I highly recomend this place to any one who would like to try something diferent from regular Indian fair.
Superb treat – I travel to Baltimore regularly on business. I do not even remember how we stumbled upon Indigma, but I am thrilled that we did. It's gorgeous- literally- the decor is stunning. The staff are competent and polite.
And the food.. oh the food. After a couple of visits we have tried probably half of the dishes on the menu, and not a single one has been a disappointment. The best feature is the fact that everything that you bite into has been very obvously freshly prepared, nothing seems mass produced, or frozen and reheated. Dishes are beautifully presented, and the staff have been very accomodating to our requests to customize orders, and order traditional dishes not listed on the menu.
I've never had desert there, so cannot comment on that, but the cocktail menu is innovative and fun, and I would reccomend the "Hot and Dirty" martini.
Thansk to Indigma for giving us something to look forward to on long trips to Charm City.
Editorial Review – Enjoy delicious Indian food for both meat eaters and vegetarians at this Baltimore Indian restaurant.

I've seen several threads for creating custom wallpaper, boot logos, and boot animations. I've created a few myself and would like to share and even handle some requests if I have time. I'd prefer to keep them limited to comics (Marvel, DC, etc.) and related movies, if possible. I should also add Star Wars to the list.
As well, I encourage anyone to submit their own if they like, or help out with any requests if they are savvy with a graphics editor. It's probably best to submit wallpaper to the Droid Forums Gallery though.
How to install:
Boot logos - (D1) You'll need RSD Lite and this tutorial, Using RSD Lite to flash an SBF file -- correctly. -- No need to be rooted when flashing SBF (Many thanks to Fish1552 for taking the time and effort to revert his phone to stock, for verification!)
(DX/D2) There's an app for that, DX/D2 Boot Logo Changer App!!, by JRummy16. Boot logos must be in logo replacer BIN file format, and usage requires root. As an alternative, and required for non-rooted users, Shibbey's Boot Logo Generator now supports the DX/D2/+ with BIN and SBF formats! SBF files require RSD Lite. The files available in this thread will likely be SBF for the D1, unless stated otherwise. If you'd like any converted for your phone just request here or in the DX/D2 thread under Requests below.
Boot animations - The link just below has good instruction on how to install boot animations. If you aren't rooted, you must use the Android SDK and adb the file to /data/local. Rooted users have much more options on how to install, plus the boot animation can be placed in /system/media to free up space on /data for apps.
Boot animations with sound - FroYo (at least D1, D2, & DX) users, follow the instructions here, (opt. 1) http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dro...tml#post990084*. R2D2 edition Droid 2 users can skip installing the "/system/bin/bootanimation" file, but install the boot animations the same way.
* NOTE: It has been determined that this method does not work on Gingerbread (and later.) The replacement "bootanimation" binary was taken from a D2 R2D2 edition, which was released with Android 2.2 (froyo). It makes sense that something changed with Gingerbread. Perhaps when the D2R2D2 gets Gingerbread, the binary will be updated. As soon as I am aware of a fix, I will post it here.
UPDATE: For Gingerbread users, (opt. 2), This is not a fix for whatever is broken in the above method by Gingerbread, but a slick, scripting sort of hack to add a feature that should already be there. In fact, this method was around before someone tried replacing their /system/bin/bootanimation binary. There are cons. The audio file must be named "android_audio.mp3" and, therefore, the desc.txt inside your bootanimation.zip must be edited to reflect the name change. Since this utilizes whatever /system/bin/bootanimation binary you have installed, this will not improve the playback of your boot animations other than adding sound. I strongly recommend using a proper fix or updated binary once one become available. Also, I have heard it does not work for everyone. I'd recommend this for Gingerbread users only who cannot wait for a working fix to the previous option. Try it out!
How to make your own:
Droid 1 boot logos - use Shibbey's Boot Logo Generator -- I highly recommend it. Here's his original, http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dro...generator.html, for posterity (I like it, because it has the cool D1 image previewing the logo ). If you want to know what his app does for you, or don't trust it, DIY using this tutorial, http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dro...-tutorial.html. For a more in depth tutorial with PICS(!), check out the tutorial in the DX and D2 section below (use both tutorials to make sure you stay on track.) I also found the Droid Labs invaluable for making my own SBF and figuring out what I did wrong - Droid Labs - Droid Forum - Verizon Droid & the Motorola Droid Forum.
DX and D2 boot logos - Thanks again to Shibbey, DX and D2 users can now create their own boot logos with his app in whichever format is best suited, BIN or SBF. To manually create the logo replacer BIN file for use with JRummy16's app, use ArmyDude's guide, Step-By-Step DIY Boot (M) Logo with pics, complete with instructions using GIMP!
Boot animations - Your may only need to look here, thanks to Dr. Carpenter, for a collective bit of information on the subject. There are many details or tips everyone who makes animations learns, and it's good to see them in one place. I've learned how to make my own from FLV movies. GIF and PNG animations are straight forward if you have Photoshop skills. I thought I'd add more info about how I make boot animations from the source. I offered the following when questioned, here:
I rarely use video demuxing software like VirtualDub or TMPGEnc, though they are nice for clipping video. Usually, I use SUPER v.2010.bld.42 (Nov 7, 2010)** to convert video to "Sequence of Images" > PNG. This works fine for short video of 5 min. or less, resulting in output of ~200MB-1GB of PNGs in about 5-10 min. Most of the sources I've used have been FLV or MP4 from YouTube or similar and work fine with SUPER. Some have been AVI, which can use any codec, but I think I've managed to use SUPER for them as well (there is an option to DirectShow Decode if internal filters fail.) From there, I batch scale, rotate, convert to JPG, and rename with Irfanview. I use Photoshop to batch scale and rotate if there is any cropping or other editing to do first, and then convert to JPG and rename with Irfanview.
Audio can be extracted from FLV, usually in MP3 format with FLV Extract. I do audio editing (clip/volume/fade) with Audacity and then export to MP3 or OGG. MP4 audio can often be extracted with Quicktime Pro without reconversion. I've also used AoA Audio Extractor, which works quite often and is free. If you get audio clips from these sources which can't be imported into Audacity or other editor, converting with SUPER to OGG usually works fine.
** NOTE: I would recommend the latest version of SUPER, but it installed bundled software that I was not given the option to install, thus the immediate uninstall. It's also one of those softwares that kind of rub me the wrong way with a sort of odd interface and peculiar behavior as well. E.g., the window is set to stay on top of everything, so when working with it, you have to minimize to see other applications. However, it does what I want it to very well and for free.
Here's some good threads explaining boot animations and how the "desc.txt" works:

- Trouble understanding the "coding" in bootanimation.zip

Boot logos:

External downloads may only be available for one or the other. If there are some in that thread you want converted to your phone, politely request in either of the following threads and we'll do it as soon as conveniently possible.

Watch Sons of Anarchy
The television series Sons of Anarchy is written about a motorcycle club located in California. They are a gun-running club that takes over the town of Charming. The club goes by the nickname of SAMCRO, or Sam Crow. It stands for Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club, Redwood Original.
The club originated when John Teller and Piney Winston came home from Viet Nam. They rode their bikes across the United States, from town to town, until John's wife got pregnant. Gemma, who is played by Katey Segal, grew up in the town of Charming, California, so when Gemma was pregnant, they settled there. Once there, Gemma gave birth to Jax.
The show starts after the death of John, with Jax grown and vice president of the club. John had been killed in a motorcycle accident. The show stars Ron Perlman as Clay Morrow, who is not only married to Gemma, but is president of the Sons. The show follows Charlie Hunnam, who plays Jackson Teller, who goes by the name Jax. It follows not only him but the club, as at the start they are against hard drugs and working to keep drug dealers out of Charming. The Sons have control of the town not only through bribery and intimidation, but also through close community relationships.
The show centers on the family life of the club members, with Jax the main focus. Jax is torn between loyalty to the club and his love for his wife and children. During the show, Jax discovers that Clay had caused his father's death; the show then takes a turn when Jax sets out to avenge his father's death. When his son is kidnapped, Jax takes off after him. Jax is reunited with his son and marries his ex-girlfriend, Dr. Tara Knowles-Teller, played by Maggie Siff. Jax and Tara had met again when his ex-wife took an overdose. After landing in the hospital, she gives birth to Jax's son ten weeks early. The baby, having been born early and with heart defects, has Tara as his doctor.
All of the members of the club have jobs. Most of them work as mechanics at Clay's garage. The garage, the club house and Clay's house are all in the same compound. While working as mechanics, they also customize guns, which they sell. When not doing this, they make protection runs. These protection runs are for members of the community who needs help keeping their trucks from being hijacked.
The Sons all ride Harley-Davidson motorcycles which have been customized to fit their individual personalities. The majority of the bikes are Dyna Super Glide Sports, a model which did not last long on the market. The bikes are all painted black with the club's logo, the Grim Reaper, somewhere on it. The name of the club, Sons of Anarchy, are also on the bike. It is only the full club members who are allowed to paint their bikes black; prospects are not allowed to.
The vests that the members wear also have the Grim Reaper logo on them, along with the name of the club. The Grim Reaper is holding a crystal ball with the letter A for Anarchy on it. Instead of the scythe, there is an M16 rifle. Once again, only full members can wear the patch; prospects have to earn to earn the right to wear it.
Although the show has guns and drugs, it is more about the relationships the members have not only with other club members but with members of their family as well as the people in Charming. It deals with trust, what happens when trust is broken between brothers, between family members and between people of the town. The club members consider themselves brothers. It shows how a family deals with being part of the club because if their husband, son, or brother is a member, they too are considered part of the clubs family.

The patented Tactical Univ Mil-Spec Duostock M4/CAR15 is a modification to the stock of a rifle or shotgun for specific use in Close Quarters Battle (CQB). It consists of an upper and lower surface for the absorption of recoil. The upper surface is the same as any other long weapon. The lower surface is specially angled to ride on the upper chest with the use of body armor. The bottom of the stock is rounded and allows smooth targeting of the weapon. This makes for a more stable, consistent shooting platform with the sights and barrel close to the line of sight. This results in increased comfort, speed and accuracy in any shooting position.

Oswalt was 2-0 with a 1.69 ERA for the week that was capped by the right-hander's snapping of the Rangers' eight-game winning streak.

Other players nominated for the weekly award were Johnny Estrada of the Braves (.550, four doubles, six RBIs); Milwaukee's Keith Ginter (.550, two doubles, five RBIs) and Doug Davis (2-0, 2.70 ERA, 12 SO); Deivi Cruz (.542, four doubles, seven RBIs) and Ray Durham (.414, three doubles, two triples, five RBIs) of the Giants; Mike Piazza of the Mets (.478, three doubles, one homer, four RBIs); Jason Bay of the Pirates (.320, three homers, nine RBIs); Larry Walker of the Rockies (.389, three homers, five RBIs); and Carl Pavano of the Marlins (2-0, 2.57 ERA, 13 SO).
