I know… it sounds like one of those annoying meme-style headlines. "This Pacifica woman to marry her bike – and you won't believe what the honey moon will be like!" But this is actually something that someone is actively promoting. I know that the anti-marriage equality crowd has been warning us for a while that gay marriage will lead to marrying animals – but marrying a bike? Well according to a campaign recently posted on indiegogo, that is exactly what Lisa Nelson is trying to do.
Hello! I'm Lisa Nelson and on March 2, 2014, I intend to marry Steel Spokes, my beloved bicycle! We've been together for over 15 years now we are going to make it official AND depart for 6 months on our "Bicycling Honeymoon" to accomplish a variety of ambitious goals that lead to even bigger dreams!
All fanfare aside, from what I can tell it appears she is looking to use this experience to help put together some kind of youth development program centered around bicycles titled "Semester on Cycle." Let's face it – I'm a sympathetic ear to those kinds of things. But even my "I want to immediately support anything bike" mindset is finding it a bit hard to understand exactly what it is she is trying to raise money for:
Semester on Cycle is a proposed model university education program that not only provides an exceptional experience for the cycling participants, but also offers effective methods of connecting with community members and assisting people in need (Read more details at:http://questforzest.org/mission/).
Unfortunately the Quest for Zest mission statement didn't do a really good job of telling me what this was about. It basically sounds like a general concept to do good things for various communities, while riding into the communities on bikes. OK. Umm….
I don't know. I'll let you guys be the judge here. As to the whole "marry my bike" idea I have an unfortunately revelation for her though. It isn't really that new of an idea. In fact, I'm willing to bet that if you talk to the significant other of any cycling nut or amateur racer, they will tell you that they are already married to their bike anyhow.

For many golfers, there's no better feeling than crushing a 300-yard drive, no moment more exhilarating than watching the ball soar down the center of the fairway. Callaway's newest driver, the Big Bertha C4, is built for exactly that sort of golfer. The nine-degree model we tested was a heat-seeking missile launcher, smashing well-struck range balls into the next county. And best of all, the enormous clubface helps make even the highest of handicappers look like John Daly; its weighted perimeter helps corrects mishits and sends poorly struck balls careening into the stratosphere.
According to the manufacturer, C4 stands for Compression Cured Carbon Composite. The new high-tech material allows for a larger, more stable clubhead that permits the club to weigh just 9.9 ounces while carrying the power of a bazooka. For Callaway, it's a return to the Big Bertha line that made the company an industry leader. For the golfer, it's a driver that will amaze you with its oomph and surprisingly easy swing. Unlike several other drivers popular on the market today, you don't have to catch the ball perfectly to get a good result—just swing easy, catch the ball on the face, and start your walk up the fairway.
The club incorporates a 45 1/2-inch shaft, an inch longer than normal, which allows for greater swing speed and, thus, even more power. It's available in a full range of lofts, and in light, regular, firm, strong and ladies shafts. When hit right, the C4 will feel like an extension of Popeye-sized arms without eating all your spinach.
The new club was introduced to the public in an attention-grabbing ad during the Super Bowl, and went on sale at retailers nationwide on Valentine's Day with a suggested retail price of $540. It's already the driver of choice for PGA Tour golfer Carlos Franco, the Paraguayan sensation who is one of the world's 100 most accurate drivers, and, surprisingly, rocker Alice Cooper. While the C4 may not be enough to land you on the PGA Tour, the booming drives it launches may help you to feel like a champion.

Activist investor Bill Ackman has generated a great deal of buzz since revealing his massive short position on Herbalife -- a multi-level marketing company that sells weight loss and nutritional supplements -- but that doesn't mean everyone agrees with him.
Ackman's hedge fund Pershing Square Capital Management believes the company is a "pyramid scheme" and is shorting around 20 million shares with a price target of zero.
By pyramid scheme, Pershing Square believes that Herbalife's distributors earn more than 10 times by recruitment than selling the product to actual retail consumers [.PDF]. This, Pershing Square says, incentivizes them to bring in new recruits who will only be disappointed at the bottom.
Herbalife will hold an analyst and investor day on Thursday to rebut Ackman's claims.
A tipster passed along a paper published by Professor Ann Coughlan at Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management published last July stating that Herbalife "fails to meet any of the criteria for an illegal pyramid scheme."
Here's a chart of the points she makes in her 6-page paper assessing Herbalife as a legitimate MLM. (Disclosure: the paper was prepared with the financial and data support of Herbalife)
We reached out to Coughlan for further comment, but haven't heard back at the time of publication. You can read her full assessment here [.PDF]>
Shares of Herbalife are down more than 13% since Ackman confirmed his short last month. At one point, the shares tumbled more than 38%.

Chicago-area daredevils tested out their speed Saturday in the first local staging of The Great Bull Run.
The Americanized and tamer version of Pamplona's famous Running of the Bulls took place at Hawthorne Race Course in south suburban Stickney.
Equipped with red handkerchieves that read "The Great Bull Run" the many enthusiasts gathered at the course for their taste of Spain.
"Here we are the courageous few," the group chanted before the event. "To test ourselves in honor of the bulls. We hope to run and survive the day. Yell with us now and say Ole."
U.S. & World
The event drew a large crowd of spectators and runners, some in costumes, on the soggy Saturday.
According to spokeswoman Bonni Pear, 4,000 runners and 2,000 spectators pre-registered for the event. Pear also said a large number of "walk-ups" also attended the event Saturday.
"It's a legendary event. Everyone knows about it; it's a bucket list item. But it's the danger that draws people to it. People want to test themselves. They want to see, 'Do I have what it takes to go out there with these massive animals and run alongside of them?'" organizer Rob Dickens said.
Dickens says he came up with the idea after he tried to go to the Pamplona event in 2012 but found traveling to Spain prohibitive.
"You have to book everything about a year in advance, and it costs about $4,000 a person for your flights and all that. So that's when I decided, why not bring something similar here to the U.S. to make it more accessible?" Dickens said.
Event organizers say they wouldn't be using the kind of hyper-aggressive bulls that run in the Pamplona version. The Hawthorne bull run also incorporated a safety fence that participants can climb, and riders on horses will follow the bulls and lasso the animals in case one gets too aggressive.
Last year, officials from the Humane Society of the United States requested an investigation into what they called an "unlicensed event," and complained the event posed a danger to the animals.
But Dickens says that worry is unfounded.
"The federal government did look into what we were doing and said there's nothing to see here. Basically, we don't hit the bulls to make them run, or shock them, or do anything else. It's their natural stampede instinct to run when they see one of their fellows running," Dickens said.
The Hawthorne event falls days after a Chicago author was injured during the Pamplona event.

ROCHESTER— Bob and Julieann Lingard looked out over a bare, three-quarters of an acre lot, surrounded by friends and family. On an unusually warm and sunny November day, the two placed their hands on a shovel and looked out at the dirt before them. Julieann commanded the shovel, while her husband gently placed his hand on top of hers.
With one gingerly push, dozens applauded for the official ground breaking of their soon-to-be home.
Julieann said while she and her husband always wanted to live in a colonial, they are now preparing to build their "new" dream house.
On May 1, 2010, traveling down Route 11 on a motorcycle to work, Bob was struck by an uninsured driver and flown by helicopter to Maine Medical Center with a broken back and fractures that left him paralyzed from the neck down.
Julieann's mother, Gloria Hutchins, of Milton Mills, said she had just finished reading a breaking news article about the accident online when she learned the victim of the crash was her son-in law.
"The doctors said he only had one hour to live," Hutchins said, "and I just couldn't believe it. I just couldn't believe it."
Since the accident, Bob has regained the use of his upper body, though his legs and fingers are still paralyzed. He now uses a wheelchair to get around.
Having lived with the aftermath of the incident for almost three years, Bob said he spends his time in a hospital bed in the living room of his mobile home, and hasn't seen any other part of his house in all this time. He said he knew it was time for a change, with a move to a handicap accessible structure, but living only on Social Security since the crash, his and Julieann's options are limited.
Patrons of Emmanuel Church in Rochester, having learned of the Lingards' struggle, banded together to raise $37,000 for the family's efforts to build a ranch home. Women's Ministry Director Deb White noted the church raised $12,000 this past Sunday.
The group hopes to start construction by the end of the week, and to complete the project by this February
"I'm overwhelmed," Julieann said, following a ceremony attended by approximately 50 people and their church's pastors on Monday.
"Today is far from the beginning," Associate Pastor Ed Cilley told the crowd. "…You know that there's a lot more construction that needs to be done and there's more funds that need to be raised, but we read in Matthew 19, with God, all things are possible and I believe that with God at the forefront, with Christ at the center of this project, you'll see right through the completion."
Friends and attendees of the church have volunteered to take over 90 percent of the labor of the home's construction, while Bob and Julieann continue to find ways to pay for materials.
Bob has also insisted on being a part of the building process as well. With a background in home building and a degree in drafting, he explained how he learned to use a "head mouse," which acts as a cursor he can move on his head with a special computer, to create the designs and layout for the house.
Senior Pastor Art Stone told the crowd the Lingards' story is one of determination but it is also "a love story."
Bob and Julieann are high school sweethearts, who lived three houses apart in Rochester as teenagers. Julieann said she would roller blade up and down the hill on their street, while Bob worked on his Mustang in the front yard.
Stone said watching the two work together through Bob's healing process has been an inspiration to many.
"As time went on, you could see the fight in this man to overcome what life had brought him, and you could see the strength in his wife," Stone said. "… We just want (them) to know, it's you and us building the house, and the Lord is right there with us. And because of that, we're going to be successful."
He added the dirt uprooted at the groundbreaking will be used to pot a plant which will grow and flourish as the house develops.
Bob said he continues to work on adapting to his new life, using a wrist cuff to use basic tools such as a fork and a pen. He said he hopes to find a way to revive the use of his fingers, though he's not sure what the future holds. On Monday, after the stirring ceremony, he could only muster a quiet "thank you" for what everyone had done.
"It has been a learning a process," he said. "And I am improving."
Those wishing to donate to the Lingards' project may contact Emmanuel Church at 24 Eastern Avenue in Rochester, N.H., 03867, or 603-332-5355.

Super Silliness
Such is the quarrelsome nature of modern America that you can't even play a football game without provoking a day's worth of controversies.
We don't mean the arguments about which quarterback is better, or what defensive scheme might have worked best, or why your team is a bunch of limp-wristed sissies. Those sorts of arguments are a longstanding football tradition, and are arguably the reason they play the game. We mean the incessant cultural and political clashes that people hope to escape from when watching football, but which show up at every Super Bowl.
It is by now an annual tradition, for instance, that one of the many advertisements that interrupt the game will cause a brouhaha. This year it was a spot with movie star Clint Eastwood making a pitch for Chrysler, although you might not have known from that copy, which was a hard-boiled paean to the great American spirit of something or another. If not for a Chrysler logo that briefly and inconspicuously appeared toward the end one would have never known the ad was talking about a bailed-out, Italian-owned headquartered in a decaying, crime-ridden city with a third world literacy rate.
We're reluctant to criticize Eastwood, partly because of his long and distinguished career in cinema, partly because he's the rare octogenarian who could whip us in a bar brawl, but the spot seemed an effort to repay President Obama's bail-out largesse with some tax-payer funded campaign advertising. Eastwood denies this interpretation, saying that "I am certainly not affiliated with Mr. Obama," but he surely noticed that the ad never got around to mentioning the sponsor's product.
There's also an annual controversy over the half-time show, which this year featured the veteran performer Madonna and some big name, red-hot young acts we'd never heard of. Having come of age in a blue jean-clad era of rock 'n' roll when anything smacking of show biz was disdained as inauthentic, we were struck by the spectacle of the performance, which featured a cast of thousands and enough high-tech stagecraft to supply a George Lucas sci-fi epic. The general effect of it all harkened way back to the era of Busby Berkeley, but with just enough post-modern poutiness to make it seem contemporary.
Those hoping for another "wardrobe malfunction" to reveal some tantalizing part of Madonna's still-toned physique were disappointed, as the only shock-the-squares moment came when a leggy young woman in a Cleopatra-goes-to-Vegas costume made an obscene gesture on camera. Once again, the cutting edge seems to be getting dull. Also among the guest-starring performers were a hirsute duo calling itself LMFAO, which we're told is a text-messaging acronym that contains profanities — we're guessing the "F" and the "A" — but that went largely unremarked.
The only other non-football controversy we're aware of concerns the gorgeous wife of the gorgeous quarterback on the losing team making some profanity-laced comments in the aftermath of the game. We're inclined to let it slide, as they say, in part because it was a spontaneous slip rather than a deliberate provocation, and in part because she's gorgeous.

"Ride or die, wherever we go. Kick in the door, don't need no keyhole."
Their reputations proceed them. Isaiah Toothtaker: head rapper of the Machina Muerte crew, convicted multiple felon who's earned his telling surname many times over, and tattoo baron of Tucson, Arizona—arguably America's last standing Wild West. And Prison Garde: once known as Sixtoo, who turned the hip-hop underground on its head with Sebutones, plus solo records for Anticon and Ninja Tune, before leaving his old moniker behind for a life lived in the shadows of Halifax, Nova Scotia—a city that is, in fact, no longer a city. These two outlaw types otherwise separated by 3400 miles of dry land have come together to create Sea Punk Funk, your new favorite mixtape and a bizarrely summery collision of G-funk notions, electro boogie dreams, chillwave echoes and semi-melodic raps about upping the crime rate and (bummer) getting bloodstains on one's nice clothes. Imagine a land where the Warriors gangs are recast as neon-dripped Lisa Frank animals locked in an Apache Line break-battle to the death. Where Devin the Dude and Twin Shadow growl menacingly, facing the pointy ends of each other's switch blade. Where the tensely rattling guitar line on "Labyrinth" and the Puff Daddy shout-out on the Western Tink-featuring "We Can't Miss," make perfect sense alongside the top-down So Cal funk of "L.A. Nights" (with Murs) and the rolling Castlevania crunk of closer "Cardboard Coffin." Imagine, yes, and listen. But absorb with care. This isn't your reality. This is Isaiah Toothtaker and Prison Garde. This is Sea Punk Funk.

Hot and sprawling, you wouldn't think anything of any value could come from a place like the San Gabriel Valley, but think again, it's actually given birth to many people and things, some of which you'd never guess originated here.
For instance, the whole concept of college football "bowl" games started on New Year's Day 1902 in Pasadena with the inaugural "Tournament East-West Football Game" -- eventually renamed "The Rose Bowl" 21 years later. And erryone else be bitin' afta dat.
Speaking of bites, being heavily influenced by Route 66, the postwar car culture and associated suburbanism, a number of well-known food chains were born here in the SGV. By far the most famous is Baldwin Park's In-N-Out Burger, established in 1948. Also started that year was a Temple City donut shop owned by Verne Winchell -- Winchell's Donut House. Supermarket entrepreneur Joe Coulombe started the first Trader Joe's market on Arroyo Parkway in Pasadena in 1967, and on the other side of town six years later, Chinese immigrants Andrew Cheng, his wife Peggy and his father Ming Tsai opened Panda Inn on Foothill Blvd, spawning the Panda Express chain.
But perhaps the biggest contribution the SGV gave to the food world was the cheeseburger. Yes, the food that LOLcats everywhere crave was invented in Pasadena by 16-year old cook Lionel Sternberger who worked at his father's now-defunct restaurant The Rite Spot on 1500 W. Colorado in the mid 1920s and "experimentally dropped a slab of American cheese on a sizzling hamburger."
A couple legendary toys were introduced to the world in the SGV -- in the 1950s, the then-San Gabriel-based Wham-O Manufacturing Company gave us the frisbee and the hula hoop (Though both had origins from other times and places, the plastic toy versions we know and love were 100% SGV product).
Even everyone's most beloved little green slab of clay, Gumby, is an SGV native. He was created in the early 1950s by recent USC film school grad Art Clokey and his wife Ruth in their Covina home. GUMBY!!! GUMBY, DAMNIT!!!
Other famous San Gabriel Valley natives inclue World War II General George S. Patton (San Gabriel), former New Mexico governor and presidential candidate Bill Richardson (Pasadena) and cooking legend Julia Child (Pasadena).
The SGV's biggest contribution to music is Pasadena's own Van Halen (none of its members were SGV natives, but the band itself originated here), formed in 1972 as "Mammoth" and renamed to VH two years later. The Black Eyed Peas' singer Fergie (Hacienda Heights), the late scatting '90s Euro-house singer Scatman John (El Monte) and "Toy Soldiers" singer Martika (Whittier) also all hail from the SGV.
|Remember this guy? Straight Outta Whittier.
A number of TV child stars also came from the SGV: Punky Brewster's Soleil Moon Frye (Glendora), Family Ties' Tina Yothers (Whittier) and even Steve Urkel himself, Jaleel White (Pasadena).
Being full of recreation areas, the SGV also spawned a number of professional athletes -- most notably former UCLA Bruins and Dallas Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman (West Covina), former Yankees and A's (and current Rockies) slugger Jason Giambi (West Covina) and Phillies second baseman Chase Utley (Pasadena). but the SGV-born athlete The Militant is most partial to is none other than former Dodger Nomar Garciaparra (Whittier). Oh yeah, he played on some Boston team too.
Yes, great things can and do emerge from that vast flatland surrounded by the San Gabriel Mountains, and the San Rafael, Monterey, Puente, Brea and Pomona hills. SGV, you definitely can has cheezburger.

- More money dedicated to reduce fraud and waste in Medicaid, Medicare and CHIP.
- Insurers must spend at least 80 cents of every premium dollar on benefits and quality improvements, rather than overhead costs and profits.
- Coverage for mental health and substance abuse treatment must be comparable to coverage for medical and surgical care.
- Accountable Care Organizations and other programs designed to help doctors and health care providers work together to deliver better, less expensive care.
- A new $15 billion fund will invest in prevention and public health programs, including smoking cessation and combating obesity.

Kent State University Presidential Speaker Series Presents An Evening With Elie Wiesel
Holocaust survivor, Nobel Peace Prize winner, Boston University Professor and author of the bookNight, Elie Wiesel spoke at the second event in the Kent State University Presidential Speaker Series on Thursday, April 11, at 7 p.m. You can read more about the event or watch video highlights from the evening.
"Professor Elie Wiesel is a true humanitarian and peace advocate who has impacted our world for most of his life through his works, writings and commitment to the plights of the oppressed," said Kent State President Lester A. Lefton. "Having a man of his caliber, who has achieved much for humanity, at Kent State is indeed an honor, and so I invite all members of our community to come and learn from what promises to be a thought-provoking session."
Wiesel's personal experience of the Holocaust led him to use his talents as an author, teacher and storyteller to advocate for human rights and peace in the world. He has worked on behalf of oppressed people much of his adult life.
The Kent State Presidential Speaker Series seeks to bring high-profile, world-renowned experts to Kent State for serious, thought-provoking discussions and conversations. The new program enhances the engagement of the world beyond Kent State's campuses, which is one of the university's strategic goals.

It is a real sign of the times that you get a press release about a new PC and its first sentence bangs on about HD. But then again, this is Sony, a company that is staking an awful lot on HD, so perhaps it shouldn't be too surprising. The PC in question is the latest in its series of high-end desktops, the £1300 VGC-R202. Sony is grooming it to be a HD-compatible video server and HD-friendly video editing suite. Ambitious stuff.
The basic HD story is that the PC supports full 1980 x 1080 HD resolution, which it can output to any HD Ready display device. On the server front, it comes with a Sony Network Media Receiver 200 (VGP-MR200E), which the company claims is capable of streaming HD content to HD TVs elsewhere in the home. Of course, there's not a great deal of HD stuff on the web at the moment - try here - but you can bet there will be an explosion in movie trailers and more this year. As for its video editing capabilities, the PC apparently supports both the DSD Audio and HD Video standards and naturally is a good fit for Sony's HD camcorder, the HDR-HC1.
The VGC-RC202 uses the 2.8GHz Pentium D 920 processor, has a 256MB Nvidia GeForce 6600 graphics chip and features an on-board Super Audio CD (SACD) player. Even though it has twin hard disks offering up to 600GB of storage, it only has a DVD drive. The obvious omission is a Blu-ray recorder, though Sony will remedy this by offering it on a PC that will debut in April.
Scientists create Bionic Ear
I might be wrong, but the Bionic Man didn't have a bionic ear, that was saved for tennis pro turned Bionic Woman Jaime Sommers, who had amplified hearing from a real-looking ear. Well, 30 years on, the bionic ear is reality, and while it may not give you super hearing, it will certainly improve it. Developers Phonak have studied the way the brain and ear interact and how the inner ear processes sounds, then replicated the process using a tiny chip as powerful as a Pentium processor, packing everything into a 25mm device known as the microSavia, that is effectively invisible when worn, especially if you pick a colour that matches your hair! With research showing that most people who need a hearing aid refuse one due to the stigma of the device, the bionic ear should be welcome relief for many. Let's hope the other bionic bits follow soon!
AIBO goes walkies on eBay
There comes a sad time in every dog owner's life when they have to take their pet pooch on a one-way trip to the vet. Yes, when your dog has had its day, it's time for the little fella to be put to sleep in as humane a way as possible. Which, in a sense, is what Sony has done for its AIBO robot dog. Yes, the company has scrapped the four-legged bot in order to concentrate on, well, products that will actually make a profit. Funny, that. Needless to say, the AIBO-owning community aren't too happy - although we wonder whether that'll change when they realise how much they can make from flogging their best robo-friend on eBay. At the time of writing, there's just 46 AIBO auctions on the site, but bidding is fierce enough to make us think this'll change in the near future. God bless AIBO - he came, he conquered, and he never pooed on the floor...

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Shiny Things' started by Sniper X, Dec 22, 2008.
Here are two of my sweetest, a SOG Bowie no longer available. And a Dawson Dagger.
My favorite fixed blade is a Benchmade Delta Raider - also discontinued, although I don't know why they would stop offering such a great knife.
Cheapy Japanese knife, but cool to me!
Gerber Utility Bowie
I carry this Benchmade every day. Great knife.
Where art thou, Pally?
The one I'm carrying today is a Kershaw Rainbow Chive.
Including myself, I've wounded far more men with this blade than any others.
J.A. Henkels. An edge holding machine.
Well I made this one. My first knife actually. Every part and piece you see, except the screws.
Some more I made
My first and second Auto during construction. I sadly quit making after I finished these.
This one is gorgeous. What would it take you to get back into crafting knives and making me one of these?
The US has some superb cutlers.... in fact, my opinion hasn't changed since the last few knife threads.
I guess not much has changed since then....
Anyway, I recently got this lovely neck knife in ATS34 and G10 from an Aussie maker called John Foxwell. Fit, finish and comfort are faultless, and I'm embarrassed to post how cheap it was for a custom.
And, I've got this on the way from a UK custom maker called Stuart Mitchell... damasteel and mammoth ivory, a leaving present from my old team.
I had a few spare quid so I got a matching beater done in RWL34/G10.
He makes custom matching knives for Purdey and Holland and Holland.... so he's a bit good then.
However, I'm in England, so in my pocket everyday is a little custom Victorinox Lumberjack in Alox by SwissBianco.
It is the dumbest mistake I have ever made, but i got burnt out and sold all my shop equipment to fund another hobby. Maybe one day I will get back into it. It is probably one of my more creative adventures in life!
Thanks for the comments!
Standard USMC stamped Ka-Bar and 2 EDI Genesis folders.
I'm being lazy and not taking pics of the actual knives, but I have a few. The internet is chock full o' pics. Nothing custom or super-expensive, just good, utilitarian tools that I like.
Daily pocket pal is a Buck Whittaker Metro. Bought it on clearance at WalMart a couple of years ago for $5.
CRKT M4-03 assisted opening. Never owned a sharper knife outta the box....this one was a gift from a friend.
Another WalMart cheapy. Gerber Profile. Titanium coated 4" blade and rubber grips. After using this cheapy to butcher deer with, I'll never want an expensive hunting knife. Holds an edge like mad, very comfortable grip (even when it's 25* and yer hands are bloody), and easy on the hand.
I've had this CaseXX for years. It was my big brother's. And it sucks. Doesn't hold an edge and is uncomfortable to grip. But it is pretty.
Best knife I've ever owned is my Gerber Multi-lock tool. I never make a trip without it. Owned the same one since 1998 and it's been all over the lower 48 and Canada. I've never had to sharpen the knife blade. Never.
I collect Case Knives.
My two favorites are my Grandfather's worn out genuine stag medium Stockman and the same model I purchased just after he passed away.
My everyday work knife is the Victorinox® Mechanic™
Of the culinary breed.

Chewie, you missed this one too, in Inmates... http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=392202
Now this is a knife:
+1 on Benchmade. I carry one daily.
I used to have a Spike in full auto (like the pic above) but got wary in CA. Got an Elischewicz (sp?) and promptly lost it. Replaced them with others. Will try to post a pic in a bit.
Hope your new hobby includes making stuff, you got talent, sho nuff!!

OK, we're going entirely from memory here, since we haven't been able to find anything else about the exchange on the Web, but that's fine, we'd like to take credit for seeing it anyway. It will reveal just how puerile we really are.
So we're watching the end of the Nebraska-Colorado game on Saturday — Nebraska hammered Colorado 30-3, by the way — and the sideline reporter (whose name we have forgotten; sorry) goes up to Nebraska coach Bill Callahan, who has just had a bucket of Gatorade dropped on him. We pick up the exchange there:
Sideline Reporter: Great game, Coach, congratulations.
Callahan: Thanks.
Sideline Reporter: You're covered there, Coach. Was that one of the more satisfying dumps you've ever taken?
Callahan: (blinks) Uh, sure.
Sorry. Poop humor. You understand.
I Had A Feeling About This Game [Scarlet Fever]
(Update: It appears Phil Mushnick noticed this as well, which makes us feel about 45 percent dumber.)

2013 Wallace Stegner Lecture
- Friday, April 12, 2013 from 7:00pm to 9:00pm
- Museum of the Rockies - view map
Award-winning author Rick Bass will speak on "The Landscape of Imagination" when he delivers Montana State University's 2013 Wallace Stegner Lecture at 7 p.m. on Friday, April 12, in the Hager Auditorium of the Museum of the Rockies.
The event is free and open to the public. A reception will precede the lecture at 6 p.m. in the museum's lobby.
Bass is the author of more than 25 books of fiction and nonfiction, including "A Thousand Deer," "Oil Notes" and "Ninemile Wolves." His fiction has received numerous awards, including the O. Henry Award, the Pushcart Prize and the Los Angeles Times Best Book of the Year Award. Bass has also received fellowships for the National Endowment of the Arts and the Guggenheim Foundation. He currently lives in Missoula, and has been touring and recording with Stellandro, an astral art-folk band.
Bass grew up in the suburbs of Houston, attended school in Utah and worked for eight years as a petroleum geologist in Mississippi. In 1987, he settled in the remote Yaak Valley of Montana. In his memoir, "Why I Came West," Bass describes his love of the American West, a place both visceral and sacred. Bass continues to pursue the goal of protecting wilderness values amidst the deep-rooted philosophical conflicts that define the American West.
The Stegner Lecture is sponsored by the Wallace Stegner Endowed Chair in Western American Studies at MSU. The chair continues Stegner's legacy by focusing on teaching and research in history, literature, and philosophy with a concentration on pressing Western issues. The Stegner Lecture is hosted each year by the MSU Department of History, Philosophy and Religious Studies. Past Stegner lecturers included Terry Tempest Williams and Jane Goodall.
While tickets are free, seating is limited. Tickets are available through MSU's Department of History, Philosophy and Religious Studies (call 994-4396 or visit Wilson Hall 2-155) or at the Country Bookshelf, 28 W. Main St. in downtown Bozeman.
Community members are also invited to attend a book signing with Bass at the Country Bookshelf on April 11 from 6 - 7:15 pm.
For more information, contact: Cassandra Balent in the Department of History, Philosophy and Religious Studies, firstname.lastname@example.com or 994-4396.

I suggested that this was part of a larger question, such as whether the Koran even emanated from Mecca, let alone came from a Mohammed as described in Islamic tradition.
My concerns sprang from recent readings on or linked from the site of inarah.net of or about work by a variety of authors including Christoph Luxenberg and Ibn Waraq and claims that the material in the Koran was derived from a pre-Muslim Christian lectionary. You can see where I'm coming from!
Having thought about it, I think it would be best to stick to the Meccan-Medinan question so here goes.
I've always thought it odd that the Koran chapters were assembled in order of length, which immediately makes you think they might not be closely related. That they were said to be gathered from fragments written on various materials and assembled in that way suggests that those assembling them had no idea how they were related either and certainly were not aware of any chronology by which they could be arranged.
That aside, when I heard that there were said to be Mecca and Medinan chapters I took on the impression that a chronology could be divined from such as the points in Mohammed's life – e.g. fancying a new wife - at which it suited him to have a particular revelation. I further assumed that from this that, not only could they be ranked by date but that, surely, many of these events could be identified to within a year or two. Yet I could never find a listing of these likely dates.
However, much has been made of how the Meccan verses (oh, did I mention that someone claimed that even verses within a chapter could have quite different dates?) were peaceful while Mohammed was on sufferance in Mecca but turned nasty once he became a Medinan warlord.
Which was where things were before I found inarah.net and read an article that implied that the verses were in fact classified by whether they were peaceful or warlike and ascribed to Mecca or Medina on that basis, not by some derived chronology. Detection of violent phrases in "Meccan" verses, claimed the author, invalidated the whole concept. Which seemed relevant to the discussion between sum and Skynightblaze about Mohammed's threatening slaughter.
Anyway, I thought the matter might have been done to death already on the forum but all I can find is a post by a rather confused me from a year ago. http://forum09.faithfreedom.org/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=16597&p=219951&hilit=meccan#p219951 which gives only a link, not details. So here goes Skynightblaze. Anyone want to join in?
Firstly, I must admit that I can't find the claim that started me off, but I'll continue to look for it. Meanwhile, a bit of food for thought: something that cynics might think detracts rather from the classification: the classification of chapters is printed with them in most copies of the Koran!
Most copies of the Qur'an have an entry at the beginning of each sura stating the name of the sura, whether it is Meccan or Medinan, and how many verses it contains. These superscriptions are not considered to be part of the revealed text, but they are fairly uniform in copies of the Qur'an.
Just one example (below): the last word on the left in the gilded panel is "makkiyya," indicating a Meccan sura.
First four verses of sura al-Alaq, with gilded superscription
There is also a whole branch of Islamic learning called asbābu t-tanzīl (أسباب التنزيل) which is concerned with determining the circumstances in which any given sura was revealed to the Prophet. Of course, there is a lot of disagreement about the details. So the answer to your question is: no, there is no universal agreement.
So Muslims believe it but disagree about it. Is it worth going on?

Not believing in God is like not shaving.
'Oh you're growing a beard' people say.
'No, I'm just not shaving.'
Views: 3025
We will NOT be praying for you. Or preying on you.
It's a sad shame that many of these "Christians', can't except people for who they are.
From Becca: "Sometimes I wonder just the opposite: What it is like to truly believe in a god?"
I think some people choose to work on building their faith. Some don't really work on it and instead borrow from others - they step in and out of faith whenever it's convenient. It always seemed fake to me, though I tried to "get it", a sense of reality was a stronger pull for me. I needed the bigger picture, even if it had lots more blank spots.
I imagine that people who push past the doubt get to a place where faith is like an umbrella. They work hard to fit their lives in to the space beneath the umbrella, to explain every experience with reference to the umbrella. They see life only from under the umbrella, so the umbrella gives them context and meaning. A suggestion that the umbrella is unnecessary is incongruous to the core of their existence. Such a suggestion diminishes their every waking moment, so it's a very strong insult. Some umbrella dwellers get angry at this and will want to prove they are right. They will carry that umbrella and when it rains they will have proof it was the right thing. If it's not raining, they are happy to have protection from the sun. If bad things happen under the umbrella, it doesn't change the outcome, but the umbrella makes it better because they're dry or not sunburned. Life under the umbrella is smaller, but everything that matters fits under it. Umbrella dwellers can deal with the incomprehensible, infinite abyss beyond the umbrella by looking up to their own umbrella and asking that one day, couldn't the umbrella maker make umbrellas for everyone everywhere? I just wonder if their hope is guided by wanting to help others find umbrella-comfort, or is it so they won't continue to be distracted by the infinite, unknowable blank spaces in the sky.
Not believing in god is like that first time you jump off a swing.
wuhuuuuuuuuu - Well yeah I actually think you are spot on
Virginia, I liked your reply better than the others here but I needed to add a bit of left-brain effort.
The moment I realized that I no longer had a god to believe in felt like a first jump off a moving swing.
I enjoyed the flight so much that I started the swing going and jumped off again, and again, ad infinitum.
I imagine that losing faith is a lot like giving up belief in Santa Claus, at first. As I grew older and more sure that at least 90% of religions in the world had to be wrong (because they each claim to be the only true religion), it felt like an obligation and responsibility to search for truth, independently.
Then when I saw the danger of fundamentalist faith (and Bush's knee-jerk-"christian"-righteous response to it), I felt obligated to push back on all holier-than-thou, black-and-white, zero tolerance, absolute with-us-or-against us belief systems.
So to me, not believing in God is believing in clear and independent thinking, with goodwill and compassion for others because we all know it's the right thing to do (if we're healthy and living in a healthy environment and NOT just fighting for survival). And the "cost of freedom" and free thinking is in being responsible for setting a good example, in spite of the quacks and whackos and fundies trying to take you down.
From what I've seen in your other responses, he's about 40 right? How old are those grandkids? Close to driving age? Maybe you can get to see them without his knowledge.
I want to change my stament.
It is like having an unlimited supply of Bacon…
To me, It is as if I was at a party. I realized the party was a drag. After sobering up I realized just how abysmal and un-gratifying the party was in reality. I drove home, and deleted God's number from my contacts list.
I really like this description.

"The Women" (1936) by Clare Boothe Luce enjoyed a good Broadway run before being turned into a hit movie in 1939 with Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford and Rosalind Russell. Some critics found the work misanthropic, but audiences howled with laughter.
Now playing at The Drama Group, Robert Bauer directs this revival of "The Women" with sure-handed cabaret flair. It starts off with a bang as 10 foxy ladies in tight black evening dresses fill the stage to deliver a delightfully naughty prologue.
The plot (to the extent that there is one) centers on Mary, an upper class wife and mother who learns hubby has taken up with a department store counter girl. While Mary stands firm in her belief in the value of loving marriage, the catty frolics of other women in her class just add to her torment.
A talented all-female cast play nearly 40 roles. Manhattan socialite Sylvia (Brie Knight) is the main trouble-maker. Sporting her "jungle red" fingernails, she gossips with unrestrained glee. Crystal (Mlé Chester) is the husband's blonde floozy, an attractive and strikingly dour predator.
Numerous characters leaven the play with gritty humor. Novelist Nancy (Shannon Sexton) flounces about with some of Luce's best zingers. She describes her virginity as a "frozen asset." Mary Pat Walsh is hilarious as both the often-married Countess de Lage and a garrulous Irish cook.
The many scene changes in this production mesmerize, complete with a sound track of Broadway songs from the '30s. The play abounds in sub-plots, and these flamboyant women give Mary an "education." It is a tough role to play, and Michele S. Scutti avoids being mousy so that her final transformation is credible.
"The Women" is satire. The upper class women here are so insular you would never guess the play is set in the midst of the Great Depression. The working class women who pamper them — cooks, salon workers, shopkeepers — mock this Park Avenue set whenever they get the chance.
While class satire comes across, it tends to get crowded out by the still more mocking view the play takes of all relationships. Men never appear on stage but are often talked about, a hapless bunch of vainglorious louts who need to be managed for fun and profit. When it comes to men and women, Luce is an equal opportunity scoffer.
Mary triumphs in the end, but only by learning to be as catty as her rivals. Does her idealism survive? That is an open question. "The Women" may lack moral gravitas; but if you like the guilty pleasure of cerebral and naughty humor, you don't want to miss this show.
The Drama Group is located at the First United Methodist Church at 6001 Germantown Ave. "The Women" will run through Nov. 26. Tickets available at 215-844-0724 or at the door.

As for /msg me, I don't have a problem with it, as the only part of your writing directed at me was as an example not an attack or insult. I would have liked to have given my reasons, if only to show I actually have reasons for most of the things I do, but I was able to do this anyway.
Looking back at the title and my recommended title, I seem to have broken my own rule "if I can argue with my recommendation, don't make the recommendation", and I could have argued many of your own points with myself. So ++ for pointing out my error, which fortunetly seems to be a rare error (though through chance or purpose could be argued ;), and ++ for not letting me slip out of it.

Kinston Rotary and Missions of Mercy; Fairfield Duplicate Bridge; Elliot Engel lecture, reception
Dental group�s free clinics in demand
Long drives and long lines attest to the need for dental care for North Carolinians during an economic downturn and to the need for the N.C. Missions of Mercy program offered through the North Carolina Dental Society, the group�s executive director told the Rotary Club of Kinston on March 28.
�We�ve seen an increase in the number of people who show up for our clinics,� Alec Parker said, citing rising unemployment as a factor in the increased need for the free, mobile dental care the program provides. �You would be amazed at how far these people will drive and how long they will wait.�
Since 2009, the N.C. Dental Society has operated Missions of Mercy through its nonprofit arm, the N.C. Dental Health Fund, assuming administrative duties from the private dentists who founded it in 2003. During its nine-year life, Missions of Mercy has offered 101 clinics and served about 46,200 patients with dental care valued at $19 million.
A typical clinic runs three days with dental professionals and community volunteers � including ECU and UNC dental students � manning 80 to 85 chairs, providing cleanings, fillings, extractions and dental lab services.
Even with free help, each clinic costs about $75,000 to stage. The group offered 12 clinics last year, but reduced to six this year due to costs.
Kinston Rotary Club meets at 1 p.m. Thursdays at King�s Restaurant.
Bridge club names winners
The Fairfield Duplicate Bridge Club played a regular game April 9.
The winners were: Edith Cahn and Dayle Pond, first place; Jenny Holt and Eva Balknight, second; Joe Goldwasser and Nancy Barwick, third; and Geneva Hood and Pinkey Harper, fourth.
A regular game will be played at 9:50 a.m. Tuesday at Fairfield Center. The club welcomes and encourages all bridge players.
For more club information, call 252-523-6791.
Lecture, reception today at library
Literary lecturer Elliot Engel will give his 50th presentation in Kinston at 3 p.m. today in the Schechter Auditorium of the Kinston-Lenoir County Public Library, 510 N. Queen St.
In �The Vanderbilts: All of Them,� Engel will trace this American dynasty, from Cornelius, born in the 18th century, to Gloria of the designer jeans. A wine and cheese reception will follow the lecture, sponsored by Friends of the Library, both of which are free and open to the public.
For more information, call 252-527-7066, ext. 130.

Senator Saxby Chambliss (R – Georgia) is the latest high-ranking Republican in Congress to indicate a willingness to compromise with President Barack Obama and allow tax cuts for the rich to lapse.
Chambliss told a Georgia television station he no longer feels bound by his pledge to anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist, saying "I care more about my country than I do about a 20-year-old pledge." The two-term Senator then added "It's kind of like one of Newt Gingrich's marriages: you stick with it until something better comes along."
Chambliss admitted he is risking Norquist's opposition when he runs for re-election. "But I don't worry about that because I care too much about my country. I care a lot more about it than I do Grover Norquist," he said, adding "we had a good thing for a while, but we've grown apart. Also Obama won the election and that's a real warning sign for anyone who is coming-up for re-election to get our thumbs out of our asses and do something or the American people are going to show us the door – and on the other side of that door there are no lobbyists, perks, or secret bank accounts stuffed full of bribe money. So Grover can stuff it."

Hope Solo Pleads Not Guilty to Domestic Assaultby Michelle McGahan | PopCrush
U.S. Women's soccer player and 'Dancing With the Stars' alum Hope Solo has plead not guilty to domestic assault charges that claim she attacked her half-sister and nephew over the weekend.
The two-time Olympic gold medalist allegedly attacked her sister and 17-year-old nephew at their Seattle-area home early Saturday morning. According to CNN, police stated that they responded to a 911 call claiming that a woman wouldn't stop "hitting people" and refused to leave the house. Upon the cops' arrival, Solo reportedly seemed "intoxicated and upset."
According to TMZ, Solo's nephew gave a detailed (and shocking) account of what went down that night, claiming that he pulled a gun on her after she wouldn't stop punching him.
The teen claims that his soccer star aunt arrived at his house upset that she had missed a flight and thought that he was talking badly about her. According to the nephew, she said that he would never be a professional athlete because he was "too fat and crazy" (Solo allegedly told police that she claimed he was "fat and unathletic") and when he went into another room to call his mom, Solo called him a "p—y." When he then cursed at her and told her to leave the house, she began pulling his hair and punching him — and he took an old, allegedly non-working BB gun and pointed it at her, though that was not enough to deter her.
The teen called the police, and Solo left, though she soon came back and then started attacking her half-sister when she came home. The boy then grabbed a broomstick and beat Solo over the head with it.
According to a document filed by Solo (via CNN), the soccer player claims did not attack anyone and was actually the victim in the attack, which occurred after she called her nephew "fat and unathletic" and he hit her over the head with the broomstick.
Solo's lawyer spoke out about the charges, saying: "Our investigation reveals that Hope was assaulted and injured during this unfortunate incident," he revealed (quotes via CNN). "We look forward to the opportunity to present the true facts in court and to having this matter behind Hope very soon."
The goalkeeper is ordered to avoid contact with her half-sister and nephew and not drink alcohol, and a pretrial hearing for the case is set for August 11.

Judge: 'Right church, wrong pew' ballots should be counted
Court rules on Ohio provisional ballots
A federal appeals court on Thursday substantially upheld a court order that instructed Ohio on how to deal with certain flawed provisional ballots that might be cast in the Nov. 6 election.
The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed most of an order U.S. District Judge Algenon Marbley issued in August that directed Republican Secretary of State Jon Husted on how to deal with flawed provisional ballots.
Saying that the state did not prove its claim that easing the provisional ballot process would lead to voter fraud, the appeals court agreed that ballots cast in the right polling location but the wrong precinct should be counted.
"Barring substantial numbers of recalcitrant voters insisting on casting wrong-precinct votes - again, a phenomenon not supported by the record or logic – the district court's limited remedy should not burden poll workers with longer lines or tax county boards with an unmanageable number of ballot verifications on election day," the appeals court said.
A lawyer for the plaintiffs in the case – including a homeless advocacy coalition and several labor unions – said the decision Thursday was significant despite Husted already issuing a directive intended to comply with Marbley's order on so-called "right church, wrong pew" ballots. Poll workers gave 3,380 wrong-precinct ballots to voters last year.
"Secretary Husted has been taking the completely indefensible position that when a government worker blunders, our votes should be sacrificed," said Subodh Chandra, a lawyer for the Northeast Ohio Coalition for the Homeless. "The 6th Circuit saw right through that and said 'No, he's wrong.' And as a result thousands of otherwise legitimate votes will be counted that would have been thrown out."
Marbley's order required Husted to issue new rules for counting provisional ballots within 10 days. Husted met the deadline on "right church, wrong pew" rules, while appealing Marbley's order on another ballot scenario: provisional ballots missing the required printed name and signature on the outer envelope. Thursday's ruling found Husted's arguments valid on that issue and sent it back to Marbley for further review.
The state argued that the burden on voters to sign the envelope was minimal, while opponents said voters shouldn't be penalized for getting bad advice from poll workers. Husted said he was pleased with the appeals court decision on that issue.
"This is an election integrity issue," he said in a statement. "Under Ohio law, a voter's legal signature is one of the primary means by which county boards of elections can verify voters and legally-cast ballots, whether you are talking about provisional ballots, absentee ballots, poll books or petitions."
The 6th Circuit noted the issue affects few voters. Of 3.6 million votes cast in the state last November, 568 provisional ballots were rejected for signature errors.

London QS Show&Tell #1 – Recap
Adriana Lukas
September 26, 2010
Finally and thanks to the enthusiasm and to-do attitude of Dennis Harscoat, last Thursday was the launch of QS London group, organised by myself and Dennis.
What I saw at the meeting was nothing short of mind-blowing. We had three presentations, first by Dennis Harscoat talking about Quantter, then by Kiel Gilleade about body blogging his heart rate, followed by Jon Cousins explaining Moodscope. Each was pioneering in their own way and I felt I was watching something powerful that will continue grow in force.
Dennis's motivation behind Quantter is the desire to help people to do something regularly, with constant improvement, following the 10,000 hour rule. The sooner, the better!
Kiel's constant heart rate monitoring with added spice of being published in a twitter stream, opens up possibilities for understanding one's body, for better and probably different kinds of diagnosis. He's also an example of how it impacts our behaviour when its made public both from the participant's perspective and their followers, which is probably the most intriguing area of self-tracking, at least for now.
Jon's Moodscope is, among other things, evidence of how powerful and beneficial our friends can be. Plotting moods and sharing them with selected friends has helped Jon manage a serious and at times debilitating mental states. Now he wants to make it possible for others to do the same and I believe he's well on the way there.
Thanks to all who helped to make such a meeting possible and we hope to organise the next QS London group meeting within a few months.
As this event was hosted by VRM Hub, the venue was GfK NOP, which kindly provided a meeting room and refreshments. VRM Hub is a regular meeting of people working on and interested in VRM – Vendor Relationship Management and there is a natural overlap between QS, self-tracking/personal informatics and VRM. As we already had a regular venue available, it made sense, philophically and practically, to have the new QS London group launch at VRM Hub monthly meeting. Our challenge for the QS London group will remain to find a more or less regular venue that fits the show & tell format – a quiet environment and ideally a projector.
Here is how I see the landscape, when thinking about all three and trying to explain it at the meeting (clicking on the graphic shows bigger size):
My interest in personal informatics is related to the Mine! project and the way people collect and manage their personal data online. Mine! is being designed as an open source application/utility helping the individual user to capture, manage and share data on his own terms. It is intended to serve as infrastructure to various functionality and analysis applied to user's data.
My focus in self-tracking and personal informatics is at the level of the individual. I don't track much consistently, usually my exercise, walking and calories but nothing on the level of Kiel or Dennis or Jon. Apart from a natural interest in personal informatics and self-tracking as a new kind of literacy, I am very concerned about the privacy, data storage and individual focus of all this as I recognise how huge and potentially powerful it can be.

To the editor: This is in response to Mr. Crider, Mr. Artzt and Mr. Spon�s recent letters to the editor.
To the editor: This is in response to Mr. Crider, Mr. Artzt and Mr. Spon�s recent letters to the editor.
No liberal agrees with anything conservative because they�re liberals. Kudos to Mark Meadows, Mike Lee and Ted Cruz for standing up to the �typical D.C. establishment� on both sides of the political spectrum and actually doing what their constituents asked them to do.
Neither Congressman Meadows nor any other Republican was responsible for shutting down the government. It sets squarely on the shoulders of Barack Obama and Harry Reid. All Meadows asked was to roll back Obamacare for one year. The rest of the government was funded. They knew what a disaster it would be for millions of Americans.
Typically, Obama and Reid refused to compromise on anything. The rollout is now a disaster. Attempts to blame Republicans is typical. That is the left�s mantra. What about the trillions of dollars Obama has squandered and spent since being in office?
Obamacare is just a steppingstone to what Obama and Reid wanted in the first place, a single-payer system (aka national socialized medicine). Everything about Obamacare was a lie, and they knew it. Obama is incompetent and the most dangerous president to our freedoms and liberties.
Harry Hudson
To the editor: You insist in your letter-writing policy that sources to stated facts be available. Is the same not true for your columnists?
The Ron Kauffman column of Nov. 6 is filled with outright untruths that are obvious with just 10 minutes of Internet research and an ounce of common sense.
The �facts� he cited, as well as some of the terminology and phrasing, were eerily similar to a viral email that circulated early this year. This whole canard has been repeated by numerous ultra-right-wing websites.
A simple check on snopes.com or factcheck.org will show lack of veracity of most of the claims and some explanations as to why some of the others are not �statistically improbable.�
By the way, Philadelphia voting units are not called precincts.
To cite Mr. Howard Galganov for logical analysis of anything is comparable to saying Glenn Beck is a center-leftist commentator.
We can all debate the value of requiring a voter ID. But the statement that 15 minutes at the DMV will get you one free is laughable. The levels of required ID and certificates and the costs, in time and money, of obtaining those are tremendously burdensome. Have you ever spent only 15 minutes at the DMV for anything?

I don't have much to go on I'm afraid but here goes.
It was definately a relatively new film with a feel of futuristic First World War with kind of trench warfare and artillery barrages but definately set in the future based on the weaponry.
As far as plot goes the only thing I know is that there was some kind of mutant invovlement.

The North Texas branch of a Christian relief organization is putting together essentials for victims of this week's tornado outbreak.
Volunteers with World Vision are assembling packages in a warehouse tucked away in Grand Prairie. In assembly-line fashion, important items go into a bright orange pouch.
"Toothpaste, toothbrush, deodorant, hand lotion, hand sanitizer, anything associated with a first-aid kit, will fit right into this packet," volunteer Charles Davis said.
The latest news from around North Texas.
At the end, they add a personal touch -- a handwritten note of encouragement.
"[I'm] just telling them to hang in there, dig in, rebuild, be strong, that we're pulling for them," Elizabeth Marks said.
"It makes a difference when someone knows that we're there, along with the others who are responding to this tragedy," said Rafael Munoz, World Vision youth and community engagement organizer.
Hundreds of the packets are going to storm-damaged areas Friday, along with family meal kits and water cleanup kits.
"We just want encourage people to know that we're thinking of them and we know they can come back and they'll all be OK," volunteer Carol Yokell said.
