Captain's Report
By Capt. Steve--
Advantages of the Sea Ray 370 Venture
It is hard to emphasize the importance of Sea Ray's innovative new design for express cruisers in the 30-something range. In no particular order of importance, here are the major aspects of the 370 Venture design that we think are important—1) By eliminating the traditional sterndrive or inboard engine room most of that space can be devoted to creating the largest and most comfortable mid-cabin, full-beam master stateroom in class. 2) The outboard motors can be tilted up completely out of the water, thus fouling and corrosion issues will be minimized. Owners with docks with very low water on moon tides can simply let the 370 Venture rest on her own bottom unhurt. 3) A corollary of point #2 is with the drive units trimmed partially up, the vessel can be used in very skinny water and even beached, thus extending the cruising possibilities of this large boat. 4) Whether the engines are fully deployed or all the way up, the extended swim platform reaches far beyond the props, making it safe for swimmers sliding into the water. 5) By creating engine boxes over the port and starboard outboard wells the engines are effectively muffled twice, once by their shrouds and again by the engine boxes themselves. This treatment obviously makes the boat remarkably quiet.6) Because the outboard engines are mounted so far aft and so low, the cockpit is huge and able to seat six people around a table for entertaining.
7) Because the outboard engines are lighter than the 5.7 L sterndrive 300-hp engines, that they will likely replace, the weight savings by the 300-hp Mercury Verados is about 622 lbs. (282.7 kgs.). 8) While we haven't measured it, it appears to us as if this boat has slightly more freeboard than other boats of its displacement. If true, the added freeboard serves two important purposes: 1) Providing more headroom below, particularly in the master stateroom; 2) Making the boat dryer in sloppy conditions and therefore making her a more able coastal cruiser.
The Outboard Engine Concept
The Concept.
Last year 178,000 outboard engines were sold in the U.S. – more than the total number of powerboats of all types, which was about 142,500 according to NMMA figures. That means that outboard engines are very popular among American boaters. Indeed, the old days when outboard motors had a reputation for being cantankerous has long passed and now they are generally considered to be as reliable as any other type of marine engine. With millions of boaters now used to the new generation of outboard power, the creation of an outboard-powered express cruiser may prove to be a marketing masterstroke.
The Future.
With laws on the books in the U.S. mandating greater gas mileage for automobiles in the future, the big-block engines used in gas inboard and sterndrive applications are an endangered species. Outboard engines present an interesting alternative because they do not rely on Detroit for their GM engine blocks as do most sterndrive and inboard gas engines.
Silence is Golden
One of the most notable features of the 370 Venture is that it is so quiet. There are two reasons for this, most significant being that this boat was manufactured using the new proprietary Quiet Ride technology. By engineering noise reduction into the build process with features such as a proprietary tuned transom, inner laminate material, engineered fit and finish of all components to reduce vibration, and full beam bulkheads with acoustical insulation, there's less noise, and therefore less operator and passenger fatigue. So a casual conversation can be had, even while at cruise speed. Secondly, not only is sound reduced from the engines being in their native shrouds, but they're under sound proof hatches at the stern of the boat. So when the 370 engine is started the only telltale sign that they are running will be seen (and not heard) at the gauges. At the helm, I looked at the decimal meter before starting up and measured 52 dBA. Once the engines were fired up the decibel level remained at 52, so it's not just talk. Once we got underway the real quietness of the 370 became apparent. We were testing on a rainy day and the rain was louder than the engines. Once we got out into the main channel we could hear the water lapping against the hull, and we could hear the wake being generated behind the boat, all louder than the engines.Additionally the level of sound really comes into play down in the cabin. At full throttle I only read 72 dBA and the sound did not increase when I opened up the companionway hatch. Without a doubt, one of the biggest benefits of the 370 Venture is this startling amount of quiet.
The 370 Venture has an interesting acceleration curve. Get out of the mindset of having the sterndrive, or even V- drive engines, so she won't get on plane until at roughly 5000 rpm. But once she's on plane the performance is quite remarkable.
Bow Rise.
I noticed an 11-degree bow rise upon acceleration, but surprisingly once we were at cruise speed we were riding at only a 1-2-degree bow high attitude where 5-7 is the norm. That bow rise will cause a loss sight of the horizon from the seated position, and while she has a good time to reach planing speed the bow takes a little longer to come down, a full 7 seconds. At cruise, the trim only has an effect of giving added performance. There is no change in the 370's attitude and/or the spray coming out from the side of the hull, but there is a boost in speed.
Turning is Different.
The 370 Venture does not have sportboat-like handling when compared to the 370 Sundancer with its sterndrive engines. For example, when I put the 370 Venture into a hard over turn at speed the propellers did tend to ventilate, and once they pick up the air they keep it so the driver needs to bring the speed back down again to get the thrust back. But so long as hard over cranking and banking isn't part of the day's fun, the 370 Venture has excellent handling characteristics. When put into a turn, she digs her front shoulder in just ahead of the helm which causes her to bleed off speed and keep the turns calm for the guests onboard. The 370 will lean 20-degrees into the turn which keeps everybody planted firmly in their seats rather than being forced to the outside of the turn. In close quarters, with both engines reversed the 370 Venture tends to back to port, but the engines are far enough apart where the split controls get much better controllability.
Smooth Sailing
Aside from the 370 Venture being such a comfortable boat to handle and operate I was just continually overtaken by the quiet. At full speed three of us on board were having a casual conversation without having to shout at each other. It's just a hard feeling to get used to in a boat of this size. More to the point however is the fact that the 370 Venture is completely absent of virtually any vibration. It's without a doubt one of the smoothest boats in class that I've ever operated. From the port hand lounge seat in the cockpit a passenger can be sitting back and recline while enjoying this unbelievably smooth ride. Far more surprising is that because of the 370's level cruise attitude there is full visibility past the bow from the seated position and that's something that passengers don't usually get… the same enjoyable view as the captain gets.
Our Sea Ray 370 Venture had an LOA of 37'2" (11.3 m) and a beam of 11'3" (3.4 m). With an empty weight of 15,432 lbs (7,000 kg) half fuel and three people on board we had a test weight of 16,703 lbs (7576 kg). With a pair of 300-hp Mercury Verado 4-stroke engines (the only power choice available for the 370 Venture) turning 15 x 15 Enertia propellers, we reached a top speed at 6400 rpm of 43.7 mph. At that speed fuel burn was 59.6 gph giving us a range of 146 miles.
Best Cruise.
Best cruise came in at 5000 rpm and 30.9 mph. That gave us a fuel burn of 25 gph which the 370 Venture could keep up for nearly 8 hours and 247 miles while still maintaining a 10% reserve. We reached planing speed and 6.4 seconds, 20 mph in 9.5 seconds, 30 mph in 15.4 seconds and continued accelerating through 40 mph in 26.4 seconds.
Innovative Design
Master Stateroom.
There is much more to the 370 Venture story than just its propulsion system, although much of what is to follow is because of it. First of all, the owner's stateroom has been designed to be the most spectacular of any boat in her displacement category. She has a full beam master with a queen bed placed on the diagonal. On her starboard side she has a sofa that is long enough to sleep a third person. Port and starboard at the head of the bed are smart countertops. The standard layout of the 370 Venture leaves the master open to the forward salon. This indicates to us that the 370 Venture is designed for a cruising couple or perhaps a couple with young children. We like this layout sans bulkhead because it opens up the boat.However, for people who want to cruise with another couple, a privacy curtain closes the stateroom off. Sea Ray will also put in a bulkhead as an option.
Euro Chic.
Port and starboard in the master are large windows, the size of which are rarely seen on American-made boats in this size range. Their advantages are obvious. The interior decor both here and forward has a distinctive European-modern look in terms of materials used, shapes and color.
The Salon
Again Euro-styling is obvious in this large salon area. And again, the basic design was intended for a cruising couple. There is a lot to like in the salon and a few of the things that caught our eye were—• The U-shaped banquette is as big as, if not larger than we have ever seen in a boat this size. Note the forward end of the banquette which is particularly wide. • Large, long windows are embedded in the hull and provide not only lots of light but a good view. • Above the seating and over the windows Sea Ray has installed cabinets which surround the whole salon. Not only does it provide lots of much-needed storage, but it also gives the interior a finished-off look of a far larger and more expensive boat. • The salon table is large and lowers to make a large berth.
The galley is small and has a sink, microwave, refrigerator and a coffeemaker. There is no stove top, but topside on our test boat there was an optional electric stove and grill installed in the counter.
The wet head is to starboard complete with a VacuFlush toilet plumbed to a 28 gallon (106 L) holding tank. There is a shower curtain and a shower wand with a vertical adjustment. The compartment has a power vent, a medicine cabinet, and storage under the sink. There is a full length mirror on the inside of the head door as well as one on a bulkhead.
Topside of the 370 Venture
Sea Ray has taken the design criteria for the outboard propulsion system and cleverly turned it into functionality and improved utility for the boat owner. Let's start at the stern.
Swim Platforms.
There are actually two swim platforms on the 370 Venture, a lower one that is called the "extended" swim platform, and an upper one which is integral to the hull. The extended lower platform has a four-step swim ladder on the centerline and the platform makes a "floating beach" just a few inches above the water. The upper platform is a place to sit and put on skis or scuba gear, or just to watch the sunset. Underneath this structure the outboards can be tilted up out of the water so this platform serves a couple of important functions. Particularly noteworthy is the walkway from the swim platform between the two engine boxes. It is on the same level as the rest of the cockpit and deep storage compartments are added in the deck. The boxes over the engines make ideal sunning pads. If there is a gang of sun worshipers on board for a day trip and the pads aft are not enough, then the C-shaped settee to port can be converted into a huge sunning area.
Because the engine boxes are so far aft, there is more room in the cockpit and Sea Ray has used it well to provide an entertaining area that has seating for 10 to 12 people. The large teak table is standard. By pulling up a couple of deck chairs it can comfortably seat six for lunch or dinner. To starboard is an L-shaped settee and forward of that is a good-sized entertainment console. It comes standard with a stainless steel sink with faucet, a refrigerator, an induction stove, and a trash receptacle with storage below. This is a large galley for a cockpit in this class. When in cocktail party mode the counter will be a good place to put out glasses and beverages plus still have room for a tray of hors d'oeuvres. The table, of course, can handle even more snacks. A hatch in the cockpit deck leads to a mechanical room housing the electrical components, holding tank, twin 111 gal (420.2L) fuel tanks, bilge pumps, and optional Kohler generator. One of the reasons the cockpit is so roomy on the 370 Venture is because there are no side decks. Sea Ray designers have been able to take full advantage of the boat's 11'3" (3.43 m) beam. The foredeck is accessed by means of wide molded-in steps on the port side of the companionway and an opening windshield. There is a stainless steel railing installed to the right of the steps so there is something to hang on to when going forward.
The Helm.
The helm's instrument layout is simple and functional with throttles controls on the right of the steering wheel, a nav screen on the left and gauges across the top under an eyebrow of the dash. The helm seat has space for two people and both seats have bolsters. To port is an L-shaped lounger seat that can be used in three different ways: 1) One person can be facing forward; 2) Another person can be reclining and facing aft; 3) In cocktail party mode two or three people can be seated here. We'd like to see the backrest be made adjustable as currently, it's leaning too far back to be enjoying the view aft.
The Spoiler.
Also included as standard is what Sea Ray calls a "spoiler." This is what has traditionally been called a "radar arch." The term "spoiler" covers a multitude of functions. The spoiler on the Sea Ray 370 Venture has been designed with an integral Bimini top system. The spoiler anchors the standard Bimini and cruising canvas.
The Ship's Systems
The boat is powered by twin Mercury 300-hp 300CXL Verado 4-stroke, in-line six-cylinder supercharged outboard engines that each displace 2.6 L. The engine has 24 valves (DOHC), develops from 5800 to 6400 rpm at WOT and produces 70 AMPs from its belt-driven alternator. 92 octane fuel is recommended, but the engines are "87 octane compatible (up to 10% ethanol)", according to Mercury. The system comes standard with digital throttle and shift (DTS). Mercury has been working hard over the last few years to make its outboard engines better adapted to the saltwater environment which is obviously where a lot of the 370s will be used. The units installed in the 370 Venture will have the new 5.44-inch gear case which is larger and more robust than the 4.8-inch gear case which is more appropriate for, and is still used in, single-engine applications. The new gear case has two water inlets in the front tip of the torpedo. Mercury has also added many stainless steel components and uses a low-copper XK360 aluminum alloy to protect against saltwater corrosion. The boat comes standard with hydraulic trim tabs.
Freshwater System.
The 370 Venture has a pressure water system that feeds a freshwater washdown spigot, a hot and cold water shower in the cockpit, all three sinks and the shower in the head. The boat comes standard with a 31 gallon (117 L) freshwater tank and a 6-gallon (22.8 L) hot water heater.
Waste System.
A VacuFlush toilet is standard and it leads to a 28-gallon (106 L) holding tank which has a dockside pump out connector. There is a freshwater sump with automatic pump. A separate gray water tank is optional.
Electrical System.
The 370 Venture comes standard with two batteries, two battery switches, a 120V battery charger/converter. Shore power is dual 30 Amp/120V/60 Cycle with 50' (15.2 m) of cable and adapters. (240V/50 cycle systems are standard for boats shipped to areas where it is used.) There is a main DC breaker panel as well as an AC/DC distribution panel and a galvanic isolator. On hull #1 the ship's electrical panel was on the aft bulkhead in the master stateroom. Future versions will see it moved to a more appropriate location in the salon.
The 370 Venture comes standard with Sea Ray's customized Smart Craft "4-in-1 multigauges" which monitor fuel level, oil pressure, water temperature and volt output. Also included is a speedo, air and water temperature gauges, depth gauge, engine hour meters and engine alarms among other monitors.
The boat comes standard with Sunbrella sunshade with aft curtains with bungee straps. There are also front and side curtains. These anchor to the spoiler.
Optional Equipment
The Sea Ray 370 Venture's standard equipment list is pretty complete with virtually everything needed in order to leave the dock and go boating, except for ground tackle and the USCG safety package. Nevertheless the options list permits buyers to customize the 370 Venture to their particular application. Optional items that caught our eye were--
- 5 kW Kohler low-CO gasoline generator
- Colored hull
- Teak flooring for cockpit and swim platforms
- Built-in grill for the cockpit
- Extended Bimini for full cockpit coverage
- Bow thruster
- Electric anchor windlass
We think Sea Ray has developed a well-designed and thoughtful new vessel that deserves the consideration of anyone looking for an express cruiser in the 370 Venture's size range. There are enough features and innovations aboard that we think a "look-see" will not be a waste of time for anyone.

Inspection and review systems benefit from very precise adjustment and documentation of flatness and technical advanced materials. Light and very stiff as well as functional optimized materials based on high performance glasses, glass ceramics and ceramics are ready for 450 mm.Special requirements such as high speed rotating and very low run out are maintained by application of these advanced materials. Thermal influence on the wafer flatness is controlled by using adapted cooling and CTE fitted materials. In combination with new algorithms for designing optimal mesa structures best flatness is adjusted to the requirement of each application.
Very fast chucking and de-chucking times of less than half a second for coulomb type electrostatic chucks as well as vacuum flow optimized chucks increase the wafer throughput and lead to high efficiency for inspection systems. Hard ceramic coatings minimize adhesion effects of wafers and improve the life time of electrostatic and vacuum chucks. Intelligent electrical controlling drives the chucking and de-chucking response to an optimum by minimizing material specific polarization effects.
Materials are chosen according to their field of application and are designed with regard to temperature requirements, type of radiation and other critical physical aspects. Due to the varying properties of these different materials the chucking performance like clamping pressure and homogeneity is measured and analyzed with a special setup using interferometry. The capability for modeling the effective clamping pressure based on specific material parameters in combination with a high effective three dimensional FE analysis of the electrostatic chuck enables the constant development of new advanced electrostatic chucks.
Berliner Glas will present a broad spectrum of its products and solutions at the Photonics West (booth 2228) in San Francisco, California / USA (held from: 05 – 07 February 2013).
Please also visit the product demonstration of wafer chucks for inspection and other applications which will be held on Wednesday, 06 February 2013 at 12:30 pm in the Demo Area 2 (North Hall D).

In a recent special-called meeting, the Oak Ridge City Council approved a contract to allow the Rogers Group to make improvements and put new asphalt on Jackson Square's upper parking lot.
In a recent special-called meeting, the Oak Ridge City Council approved a contract to allow the Rogers Group to make improvements and put new asphalt on Jackson Square's upper parking lot.
The contract is for $157,962 and the improvements will be to the parking lot currently used by the local Farmer's Market on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
In a unanimous vote, Council awarded the contract to the Rogers Group although Council member David Mosby "qualified" his vote.
"We owe the taxpayers a better use of what we're doing," Mosby said. He said he felt as it Council was "being pushed" into voting for the contract because of the transportation enhancement project currently underway.
Mosby had questioned the reason the city had only one bidder for the project, which will, in addition to paving, also make improvements to the sidewalk and improve access.
City Finance Director Janice McGinnis said the Rogers Group was the sole bidder, but the city had sent out information to nine other companies. She said because Rogers Group is local, other companies often can't compete financially.
According to information from the city, construction bids were opened on Sept. 12 and construction plans and specifications were forwarded to nine potential bidders. Rogers Group was the sole bidder.
Mosby also had concerns about the Rogers Group being already under contract for the city's street paving projects and asked why the current contract couldn't be done under the current contract for asphalt.
City Engineer Steve Byrd said the Jackson Square project is different, stating "there are 30 other items in this contract." He said he wasn't sure if the city could negotiate with Rogers on the contract.
Byrd said the project includes not only paving, but also improvements to the sidewalk, base stone, painting, signage and removing curbs, as well as other items. He said the project was different from the "milling and pavement."
Mayor Tom Beehan said the city had already made arrangements with the Farmer's Market to move to another lot in Jackson Square while the work is being done and have let merchants know about the project so they could prepare.
"We've talked about this," he said. "We're trying to make a time line here. If we delay this, it could cause a domino affect, (and) could affect businesses."
Several members said they hadn't known Rogers Group had been chosen for the project until that Council meeting.
"This has come up before," Council member Trina Baughn said, explaining the city has contracted with other companies in similar fashion.
The mayor said Council had discussed the issue in a work session several weeks ago, but other Council members said the Rogers Group was not mentioned at that time — only the project and cost.
However, Byrd sent out a "public works memorandum" on Sept. 13 that named the Rogers Group as the recipient.
At the Aug. 26 City Council special-meeting, Council authorized funds from the Special Programs Fund for the Jackson Square Upper Parking Lot project. The funding will come from the Special Programs Fund for transportation enhancement projects for traffic capacity/safety, school crossing, and bicycle/pedestrian safety.
The project is part of the renovation project associated with the transportation grant for the Jackson Square Revitalization Project.
The remainder of the budgeted $215,000 will be used for electrical and AT&T utility relocations. Construction could begin in early October with substantial completion by mid-November.

Former Apple engineer, Addison Shelton has invented a rather unique iPhone case that combines a sturdy poly-carbonate body with aircraft grade aluminium. The unique part of this particular case is that it houses 16 tools within the case that can be pulled out in a similar fashion to the world famous Swiss Army Knife.
By diligently sticking to his design goals of combining the best features of a multi-tool with the protection and slim fit of a well-designed case, Task One bridges the gap between an iPhone case and a multi-tool. "I utilized advanced materials and manufacturing to create a slim multi-tool case that can stand up to heavy use, keep your phone safe and be so slim it adds little more bulk than other common cases," says Shelton. It can be used in any situation requiring a multi-tool, from a camping trip to a home repair – the tools are robust and always stored in the phone case for near instant access. Sliders on the back of the phone make for easy access to the tools, and integrated spring and detents assemblies lock the tools in place both when in use and during storage.
The iPhone case has tools for almost any quick job including a 2.5" knife, saw, various screwdrivers, bottle opener, pliers, wire cutters, allen keys and it even includes a kickstand so you can put your iPhone on a table to watch a movie.
The new ambitious project is set to make an appearance for funding on Kickstarter later this week where more details will be revealed. While I am sure having all of these tools available wherever you have your iPhone is a good thing, it worries me that using your iPhone as a screwdriver or saw handle is not the best way to keep that screen scratch free. Also taking your iPhone on a flight may prove very problematic trying to get it past airport security. If you are interested in seeing the case in action, you can visit the Task One Facebook page to see a video.
What do you think of the Task One case?

Your timing is terrific! It's Tuesday again, and that means it's time for another installment of Steal This Track, the weekly Reverb feature in which we give you a track from one of Colorado's best and buzziest musical artists, absolutely free! After listening to tons of great songs, we pick just one that we think will make your life complete. Whenever possible, we try to make that tune one that hasn't been heard before, like this week's brand new ditty from 200 Million Years.
The rarely sighted trio, 200 Million Years, hasn't played a live show in about six months, but that doesn't mean its members haven't been busy. The band's singer and multi-instrumentalist Ellison Park is working on the full-length follow-up to his debut EP, "When Head Killed Heart."
Drummer Carl Sorensen is busy making recordings and playing live with a dizzying array of Colorado musicians, including John Common, Andrea Ball, Danielle Ate the Sandwich, Eleanor and many more. Among the latest efforts by founder/singer/guitarist/primary songwriter Zale Hassler is singing backup vocals for a track on "In Memory of Loss," the latest album by Nathaniel Rateliff and the Wheel.
But the group has also been busy with its own music, and will be sharing it on a four-song EP to be released this Friday at the Meadowlark. 200 Million Years' recorded debut — recorded with Sam Glover of Natural Selection and mastered by Andy Hamilton of Houses — will include "No Good News," the track you can steal below.
Starting off as a rich, orchestral composition, the tune patiently evolves into a hypnagogic, Pink Floyd-esque stoner ballad. It only lingers in that territory for about a minute, though, before transforming into a whimsical, organ-driven rocker that is surprisingly soulful. The lilting melody, compositional ambition and layered arrangement of "No Good News" suggest a group with boundless creativity, diverse influences and the potential for some very fresh sounds.

Blue UP FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Blue UP FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
CONTROLLED LABS Blue UP FAQ
(Frequently Asked Questions)
What is Blue UP ?
Key Attributes:
* Highest Potency
* 6.5mg yohimbine
* Patented LongJack
* Increase free testosterone levels
* Highest grade of Tribulus, Avena Sativa and LongJack available
* Test boosting with a buzz
Blue UP is the most potent natural testosterone booster available. Most testosterone boosters claim to raise your "testosterone"; testosterone is a broad term. Raising total testosterone is not very helpful by itself, because the body needs testosterone in a "free" or "unbound" state to use it effectively for lean muscle mass and strength gains.
The problem is that most men have plenty of total testosterone, but their free state testosterone is on the low side. SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin) keeps your body's testosterone locked up for potential use at a later time, but most men do not release enough of this bound testosterone naturally to make great gains. That is why we designed Blue UP to help your body produce more total testosterone while simultaneously helping to unbind your existing testosterone by limiting SHBG in your system.
The manner in which this formula operates hampers many of the side effects that were common with synthetic and older natural based testosterone enhancer use. So if you are looking to increase your free testosterone level and your strength in the gym, Blue UP is the way to go. This formula's potent extracts act in unison to help ignite your body's own mechanism for turning bound (useless) testosterone into free (useful) testosterone that is needed for muscle growth and pure brut power. This extra power translates into greater lifts and muscle growth.
Tribulus Terrestris in our formula is standardized for 80% steroidal saponins as well as 30% protodioscin. It has been shown to increase luteinizing hormone (LH) in the body. When LH is increased it signals the sites in the body to increase their production of the testosterone. This new testosterone contributes to your body's total testosterone, which can now be acted upon by the two other main ingredients, Avena Sativa and LongJack, to unbind this locked or potential that can lead to size and strength gains.
Avena Sativa in our formula is standardized for 15% steroidal avenacosides A & B, the highest grade available on the market today. It helps to break bound testosterone from SHBG releasing it into circulation for use in the body.
Eurycoma Longifolia (LongJack) in our formula is standardized for 40% Glyco Saponins and 30% Polysacharides. Our potent extract has been shown to help increase IGF1 levels and modulate Cortisol levels. Most importantly, this extract will help increase total testosterone and inhibit SHBG, so that more free testosterone remains in the blood without increasing aromatization into estrogen. Studies on this particular extract have shown that the average male serum testosterone level rose by 100% after just 2 weeks of use.
Yohimbe in our formula is standardized for 6.5mg of yohimbine, the active ingredient in yohimbe. Yohimbine works in various ways including as a vasodilator, which widens the blood vessels and allows more nutrients and testosterone to reach their intended targets faster and more efficiently. Yohimbine also increases sex drive and helps energize by way of a stimulatory effect.
Natural Caffeine in our formula comes from all natural herbal sources and is an excellent stimulant that will get you pumped up for your workout. It works by way of stimulating the central nervous system and has an energizing effect that will help you push the weights a bit harder, which will lead to greater mass gains.

I take the stim version pre-workout and love it, now can i take the stim free version on non-workout days pre-bedtime or is that over kill??
Blue Up Double Dosage...
-Havent tried it yet but i just ordered it. Question for ya, can u double the dose, say 6 to 8 hrs apart, in an effort to up the testosterone production?? Im 33, 6' & 255lbs, & ive done many of cycles in my mid to late 20's & its left me with little free test of my own & ive been on T-therapy for years. Now its getting unaffordable & with improved technology & knowledge, im givin the newer age supplements a try, so in my mind, more test is always better!!!!!
((That hardcore meathead in me is hard to kill!! LOL!!))
-I take stacker 3's for breakfast now, with a 5-hr energy shot that has added magical ingredience; 100mcg's of clen & 100mcg's of T-3!!!
((Did i say me; sorry i ment my "dog" takes that!! LOL!!))
Blue Gene seems to be more of an "icing on the cake" supplement & im more likely to add in White Blood or even Blue GrowtH, then blue gene since the "perpetual pump" is always an awesome feeling & a "good nights sleep" while muscles are repairing themselves is always needed!!!!
Would blue up stim free be better dosed at night or pre-workout? Or is it better to split the dose and take one pill pre-workout and one before bed?

Readability Applications: Improving Reading in a World of Information Overload
Ben Richardson and Nathan Lowrance
Monday, 6:30pm
This poster discusses the findings of two focus groups that explored the benefits of an innovative readability application (Safari Reader). This emerging technology allows for the removal of advertising and other peripherals from around the body of the online text, thus presenting online articles in a more readable format. The focus group discussions were centered on core research questions that explored information seeking habits for online news content, online information sharing, reading an online article in its entirety, and the benefits and drawbacks of using a readability application. The poster will show how our questions prompted answers as to how the readability technology affected information seeking behavior, information sharing, human computer interaction, advertising and visualization. We discuss the focus groups findings and possibilities for future research of this type of technology and its effects. Additionally, we are going to utilize and incorporate a tablet (iPad2) into the poster to provide an interactive experience that will showcase the technology in question.

The Babadook isn't exactly a horror movie. It is more of a mere reflection of it. Jennifer Kent's movie depicts a character's madding affair with grief through leaflets of terror. And it does in a way you have never come across before.
Yes, it is avant garde at its best!
The Babadook Movie Metaphor
If you have seen The Babadook recently and not scratching your head, you have only seen the superficial. What surrounds beautifully the obvious horror is actually far more intricate. It is really worth applauding the effort Jennifer Kent put in to hold something so profound, so gorgeously wrapped under the aegis of psychotic horror.
Essie Davis dons Amelia's character so marvelously that it makes you feel the pain inside her eyes. You could read the grief in her character almost instantly.
I have moved on. I don't mention him. I don't talk about him.
Plot Spoilers Lurking Ahead
The opening scene finds an accident. It is portrayed in a spectacular fashion, by showing the protagonist rotating inside a car. It was more like a thing in the past that prologue carried. Clearly she had been in an accident.
Amelia is then disturbed by the constant yammering of her six year old son Samuel. It is a peaceful dream of the mishap which Amelia wishes to see unperturbed, however gets objected by her son. It is like a reflection of chaos knocking at her door in the form of her son.
She hates him to the guts, and it is quite evident by the way she tries to ignore him. He was born the day her husband had died, the same wretched day of the accident.this again mentioned eventually when she admits that she wanted him dead instead of her husband. The hatred, nicely shown in two instances in the beginning itself when Samuel tries to cling on her, and she moves to the edge of the bed, and when he hugs her and she asks him not to do it again.
We spend a lot of time story building where we understand how Amelia's life has succumbed to grief owing to the terrible misfortune. She is intertwined in her devastating misery. And it is really sorry to see her that way. Essie Davis aces the grieving mother role to perfection.
Direction of The Babadook
The direction of the movie is extremely subtle. Bits like the way the night would turn into the day, the moment Amelia would slip into her blankets, manifested how fast time flew by. Also, a nod to her life that always lacked proper sleep. It was iced further by the waking call from her son every single morning. You can easily tell it was killing her. She was annoyed by her son beyond limit. That's what gives rise to her dark side. The dark side is none other than The Babadook himself, a figment of her child's image that becomes real in her head. It is a subtly put metaphor to depict her dark image.
There are many clever references that hone the aforementioned analogy to perfection too. For instance there is a scene where Amelia finds a piece of glass in her food. Samuel says it was The Babadook who did it. She checks his bowl but doesn't find any. The glass is an apt wink to her car accident, where glasses were shattered. It also insinuates how she would always clung on to those memories.
Another scene where Mrs. Roach shows up at her door with reassuring eyes compels Amelia to have a change of heart is also a reflection on how advices and social talks tend to be helpful for grieving people.
You can get The Babadook movie here:
The Final Part of The Babadook Movie Explained
We find horror in the form of a made-up stories by Amelia's kid which she inadvertently starts living. The rogue part in her constantly overpowers her and she ends up hurting what's left. However, eventually she overcomes her fears and says no to her past, (mister Babadook here) and starts loving her son. She celebrates her son's first birthday thus paving way for happiness and love therefrom.
The movie ends up in utter contrast with the beginning: a smile on her face and love in her eyes.
Only for people who are willing to watch quality cinema which doesn't skim mainstream!
Here's the trailer of The Babadook movie:

Did you ever notice that you never hear of a "Bad" Samaritan. You only hear about "Good" Samaritans.
Here in Hawaii, there was another tragic case of a Good Samaritan who was killed when he tried to stop a fight that was taking place between a man and woman at a bar. The facts of the case are not completely clear, but the Good Samaritan was stabbed and killed.
Here is my point. When people are fighting they are probably very angry. They might be drunk, on drugs, or both! They might be armed with knives, guns, or other weapons. They might also have friends nearby who are equally angry, drunk, drugged, armed, and ready to fight.
A Good Samaritan is walking into a loaded situation that can easily explode and turn against him. Good Samaritans are usually not angry, drunk, drugged, or armed, and they typically act alone. I would assume that they are not trained fighters either. Another thing I have noticed is that Good Samaritans don't tend to be 6 foot five men weighing 270 pounds.
Good intentions are a poor defense.
Please don't get me wrong. I think that there are times when common decency would require a person to become a Good Samaritan. It is just that the person should understand that he is risking his life. Perhaps the first thing a Good Samaritan should do, if possible, is call the police.
Two people usually get it in a fight: the innocent bystander and the Good Samaritan.
We live in a dangerous world. Good Samaritans deserve a special place in heaven.

Ankle Injuries and Disorders
Your ankle bone and the ends of your two lower leg bones make up the ankle joint. Your ligaments, which connect bones to one another, stabilize and support it. Your muscles and tendons move it.
The most common ankle problems are sprains and fractures. A sprain is an injury to the ligaments. It may take a few weeks to many months to heal completely. A fracture is a break in a bone. You can also injure other parts of the ankle such as tendons, which join muscles to bone, and cartilage, which cushions your joints. Ankle sprains and fractures are common sports injuries.

Foot Injuries and Disorders
Each of your feet has 26 bones, 33 joints, and more than 100 tendons, muscles, and ligaments. No wonder a lot of things can go wrong. Here are a few common problems:
- Bunions - hard, painful bumps on the big toe joint
- Corns and calluses - thickened skin from friction or pressure
- Plantar warts - warts on the soles of your feet
- Fallen arches - also called flat feet
Ill-fitting shoes often cause these problems. Aging and being overweight also increase your chances of having foot problems.

Vascular Diseases
The vascular system is the body's network of blood vessels. It includes the arteries, veins and capillaries that carry blood to and from the heart. Problems of the vascular system are common and can be serious. Arteries can become thick and stiff, a problem called atherosclerosis. Blood clots can clog vessels and block blood flow to the heart or brain. Weakened blood vessels can burst, causing bleeding inside the body.
You are more likely to have vascular disease as you get older. Other factors that make vascular disease more likely include
- Family history of vascular or heart diseases
- Pregnancy
- Illness or injury
- Long periods of sitting or standing still
- Any condition that affects the heart and blood vessels, such as diabetes or high cholesterol
- Smoking
- Obesity
Losing weight, eating healthy foods, being active and not smoking can help vascular disease. Other treatments include medicines and surgery.

text: I did some live recording of music in India using a pro Walkman (make sure you get one with XLR inputs) and an SM57, which worked out fine. The Pro Walkman was about $220 (as of 1992) and the SM-57 was about $90. The good thing is 57s are almost indestructible. You will need to rig up a wind screen of some sort, but that can be down with a little foam rubber. You probably don't need stereo, but if you do, Electrovoice made (as of 1992) a good stereo mike. Another option is to get a small minidisc recorder. I can't vouch for how rugged they are, but the quality is great.

Between her short-lived series "The Playboy Club" and being in not one, but two box office duds in 2011, we're going to go-ahead and make the call that Amber Heard is the BOMBshell of the year. Here's hoping 2012 is better for her career-wise. Per usual, we here at Zap2it like to spend a little time every December recognizing those that fell a bit short during the previous 12 months. Hence, our annual list of the 25 movies whose budgets could probably have been spent more wisely elsewhere. Here are the rules: 1) Only movies that screened in 2,000 theaters plus qualify. So, there but for the grace of a wider release go "Bucky Larson: Bron to Be a Star," "One Day" and "Country Strong." 2) Only pre-Thanksgiving releases qualify. Note: If we had extended the list to 26, Heard's "Drive Angry" co-star Nicolas Cage would have also had a double appearance on the list with "Season of the Witch." Then again, that's pretty much what we've come to expect from Cage. -- Brill Bundy, Zap2it Related: 2010's Box Office Bombs 2009's Box Office Bombs

Penn Quarter, Washington, D.C. Travel Guide
Penn Quarter Summary
- Dense, urban neighborhood that's easily walkable and full of shops, services, and restaurants
- Access to all five D.C. Metro lines; plentiful buses and cabs
- Numerous world-class attractions like the National Archives, the National Portrait Gallery, and the Verizon Center sports arena
- Short walk to the National Mall and its attractions
- Plentiful hotel choices, from the Intercontinental Willard to the W Washington D.C. to convention center properties like the Grand Hyatt Washington
- Hotels are expensive, owing to the prime location near the National Mall and other tourist sites.
- Expensive cab rides, as in other D.C. neighborhoods
- Many bland, midrange, or chain restaurants; other neighborhoods have better dining
- Some panhandling and vagrancy
What It's Like
The compact, urban Penn Quarter stretches north of Pennsylvania Avenue to New York Avenue, and east from 14th Street to 7th Street. (The area is sometimes considered part of downtown, but we are treating it separately.) This once seedy section of town has, in recent decades, been revamped by urban renewal projects, the most recognizable of which is the Verizon Center sports arena. Other landmarks include the International Spy Museum, FBI headquarters at the J. Edgar Hoover Building, Ford's Theatre, the National Archives, the National Portrait Gallery, and the National Theatre. Skirting the neighborhood are Chinatown and the Walter E. Washington Convention Center; just south lies the National Mall and all its attractions.
All five of D.C.'s Metro lines pass through the neighborhood, stopping at the Archives--Navy Memorial--Penn Quarter, Metro Center, and Gallery Place-Chinatown stations; there is also plentiful bus service. Penn Quarter is easily walkable and relatively safe at all hours; a car is unnecessary.
Where To Stay
Hotels in the area tend toward the large, thanks to proximity to the Washington Convention Center. The Renaissance Washington, D.C., has 807 rooms, while the Grand Hyatt Washington has 888. The Hampton Inn Washington, D.C., and the Embassy Suites Hotel Convention Center are smaller, with 228 and 384 rooms respectively; the Marriott Washington Metro Center, with 451 rooms, is on top of one of the neighborhood's subway stations.
The historic grande dame Intercontinental Willard is on the eastern edge of the Penn Quarter, while the Hotel Monaco occupies the landmarked General Post Office, across F Street from the National Portrait Gallery.

It is the dress that launched the young blushing Lady Diana Spencer onto the world as not only Prince Charles' fiancée, but also as a budding fashion icon who dared to break the royal rules by wearing black to a formal event other than a funeral. The black taffeta gown, worn by Diana in March 1981, also put the young design team of David and Elizabeth Emanuel on the map, beginning a partnership that culminated in the princess-to-be's much-copied wedding dress. Today, the gown–and a prototype of the fairytale bridal dress–are being auctioned off in London and estimated to fetch up to $150,000. Posing with the black dress Monday, Elizabeth Emanuel reminisced to PEOPLE of the night that the 19-year-old Diana became a front-page star as she joined Prince Charles for her first official appearance with him. "This was really a shadow of what she was to become in terms of a fashion icon," Emanuel says. "It was the first time that people had seen her looking like a princess. Like a movie star. And grown up." Despite there being a big political story that day, the emerging Diana "took over all of the front pages," Emanuel recalls. Soon, it became obvious that the palace would have to confirm what the Emanuels already knew — that they were to make Diana's wedding dress. And, the history of that creation is included in the sale going live this morning, via London's Kerry Taylor Auctions. –Simon Perry

If the Philadelphia Eagles had to move up that Sept. 8 opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and play it today, the heir to Hugh Douglas at right defensive end would not be rookie first-round pick Jerome McDougle.
The heir to Douglas also would not be rookie fourth-round pick Jamaal Green, veteran Brandon Whiting or 2001 third-round pick Derrick Burgess.
Try N.D. Kalu.
''Kalu is looking awful good, and I think we're going to keep McDougle at left end with Burgess as the swing guy,'' defensive coordinator Jim Johnson said.
So is Kalu the starter on the right side?
''Right now? Yeah,'' Johnson said.
With McDougle having signed and arrived at training camp on Friday and with little or no noise emanating from the Eagles or holdout Duce Staley's camp this qualifies as big news at the Birds' Lehigh University training camp.
But keep a few things in mind:
It's early.
Whiting, a starter the last two years, is not practicing because of a hamstring strain left over from his offseason workouts. Burgess has a lot of potential, and a lot of fans on the Eagles' staff.
And it's early. Really early.
Nobody is more aware of this than Kalu, a veteran of six seasons who found himself surrounded by reporters minutes after Johnson's press briefing.
''He's got me penciled in, but I'm sure he has an eraser on the other end,'' Kalu said. ''I'm glad I've started off well, but I can't or I'll be watching from the bench.''
That Kalu figures prominently in the Eagles' plans is quite a departure from a year ago. At that time, he appeared to be in danger of losing his roster spot because he was struggling through an experiment to convert him into a full-time linebacker.
But Kalu switched back to defensive end late in training camp and Burgess suffered a season-ending injury a few plays into the season-opener at Tennessee.
Although he did not start any games, Kalu had a career-best year with eight sacks, 30 tackles (21 solo), 18 hurried passes and two forced fumbles. He produced those numbers while rotating in for Whiting at left defensive end and Douglas on the right side, and also while playing the ''Joker''/rush linebacker in obvious pass situations.
''Last year, I was trying to lose weight but now I'm trying to gain weight, and I'm trying to learn how to play the right side,'' Kalu said. ''My weight was down to 250 last year, and now I'm 271.''
Kalu has played in 80 regular-season and playoff games, but the last of his two career starts was in the meaningless 2001 regular-season finale at Tampa Bay. So even if Kalu is worried about Johnson using the eraser between now and Sept. 8, Johnson's words on Sunday represent significant progress.
''Coming out of college , everybody had me as a pass rusher, a situational player,'' Kalu said. ''But I've played defensive end my whole life.''

Senior duo add to Lady Bucs' postseason honors
FT. MYERS, Fla. (Nov. 10, 2011) – At the conclusion of the Atlantic Sun Women's Soccer Tournament Championship, on Sunday, ETSU seniors Jessica Hiltenbrand (Bartlett, Tenn.) and Caitlin Gaughan (Indianapolis, Ind.) were named to the Championship's All-Tournament Team.
"Jess [Hiltenbrand] and Caitlin [Gaughan] certainly deserve the recognition of this award," said ETSU head coach Adam Sayers. "Their contributions last Friday, and their consistent high level of play, were representative of the way they have played throughout the entire season. Both were significant contributors to the team's success and I'm very proud of them."
The ETSU women's soccer team traveled to Ft. Myers, Fla. to compete in its first semifinal since 2007. Although the Lady Bucs fell to an overtime goal by Mercer's Ali Meek, Hiltenbrand and Gaughan put up an incredible defensive effort through the entire 95 minutes.
As the senior leader of ETSU's back line, Hiltenbrand helped to fend off 15 shots and force most of Mercer's opportunities to be taken from distance. Gaughan, playing in her last game as a Lady Buc as well, finished with one of her best performances. The senior keeper made seven saves to keep ETSU alive into overtime.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Tour Brazil with Will Smith
Kanye Skips the Grammys to Sightsee With Kim and Will Smith
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West showed PDA as they took in the sights of Vidigal, Brazil on Sunday. The couple hung out with Will Smith during their latest tourist excursion for Brazil's Carnival celebration. They were also spotted snapping photos of Will Smith as he danced on a hotel balcony which was located directly over their hotel room. It was a big day for Kanye, who skipped out on the Grammys for the romantic getaway with Kim. Although he was absent from last night's festivities, Kanye took home three awards for best rap song, best rap performance, and best rap collaboration with Jay-Z and Frank Ocean. Jay-Z, however, was in attendance to celebrate the honor by sipping Champagne with Jessica Biel in his seat. He also hopped on stage to accompany Justin Timberlake for his live performance of their track, "Suit & Tie." Check out all of the highlights from the Grammys last night!
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's vacation in Brazil comes ahead of a special occasion for the pair — Thursday will mark the expectant couple's first Valentine's Day together, and they already got a head start on the celebrations. Last week, Kim and Kanye packed on the PDA during their stay in Rio, and they shared a sweet moment when they visited Brazil's iconic Christ the Redeemer statue together on Friday.

Prebiotics and Probiotics Featured
- font size decrease font size increase font size
Authors: Food Network
Want to keep your digestive system healthy and happy? Make sure you're getting enough of these important tummy pleasers.
What are they?
It may sound icky but it's a good thing that our digestive tracks are populated with bacteria. Many of these buggers are there to protect the digestive tracts and fend off potentially harmful germs. Probiotics are microorganisms that live (yes, they're alive) to provide such protection. The more probiotics hanging out in your digestive tract, the healthier and more balanced it remains. This type of balance means better digestion and less stomach issues like gas, bloating and diarrhea, especially when traveling or taking antibiotics.
Prebiotics are non-digestible components of certain types of carbohydrates. They act as food for healthy probiotic bacteria, fueling the production of more.
Where to Find Them?
Since the surface of the digestive tract is constantly regenerating, to reap the benefits of these substances they need to be a regular part of your diet.
Probiotics exist naturally in cultured and fermented foods like yogurt, kefir, tempeh (a hearty soy-based product), sauerkraut and buttermilk. They can also be found in supplement form; Lactobacilli, Bifidobacterium, Bifidobacteria and B. Bifidum and Acidophilus are common supplemental forms. Taking an extra dose from a supplement may come in handy when traveling or taking antibiotics, two situations that tend to wreak havoc and some folks' digestive systems.
You can find prebiotics in carbohydrate-rich foods like fruit, whole grains, bananas, berries, lentils and raw veggies like onions, leeks and garlic.
Pointers for Pre- and Probiotics
Want to make room for more of these digestive aids? Use these tips.
• Snack on yogurt or add kefir to a smoothie.
• Make a stir-fry with tempeh or try it roasted.
• Add berries to oatmeal and cold cereal.
• Add raw onions to sandwiches.
• Add a modest amount of raw garlic to salad dressing or make fresh pesto.
Tell Us: Are you getting enough pre- and probiotics?

George Bork doesn't sound any bit the Big Man on Campus his football legend suggests he should.
Nearly 50 years after his name filled the pages of Sports Illustrated and Time magazine and his image became the subject of a Christian Science Monitor cartoon strip, Bork would rather talk about Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch's star power than he would of his own accolades.
Mention 1963 – the year Bork guided NIU to a 10-0 record and a College Division National Championship following the school's first after bowl victory, a 21-14 win over Southwest Missouri State in the Mineral Water Bowl – and he initially brushes it off.
"That was a long time ago," the former All-American quarterback and 1999 College Football Hall of Fame inductee said last week.
He would prefer to discuss NIU's "almost unbelievable" upcoming Orange Bowl appearance than dredge up the season he became the first college quarterback in history to throw for 3,000 yards in a season.
The Spring Grove resident appears somewhat uncomfortable with the fame he discovered at NIU, running a spread offense that defined the Huskies' national championship season and introduced Bork to the nation.
But ask his teammates what made the Huskies' Mineral Water Bowl championship team so special and they'll start with Bork. They boast about his passing prowess, his athleticism and leadership. They'll talk about his quick thinking and the accuracy with threw to Hugh Rohrschneider and Gary Stearns, who ranked first and second nationally in receiving.
They remain amazed how proficient Bork was running NIU's spread offense and Blitz-T formation schemes — an offense that was relatively unheard of in the college ranks at the time and run by a quarterback no one before 1963 had heard of.
Between Bork's abilities and a coach in Howard Fletcher who rarely needed more than 2 minutes to inspire his team, the Huskies started to win, not stopping until they had reeled off 10 straight victories.
"For some reason, we just knew we were going to win when we left the locker room," former NIU halfback Jack Dean said.
At the center of it all was Bork, who at 6-foot-1, 178 pounds was passed over by bigger programs who wanted him for his basketball skills than his ability to throw the football.
Both Michigan and Northwestern offered him a spot on their basketball teams but when he inquired about also playing football, both schools backed off.
At NIU, Bork found a place to do both.
It wasn't long before Bork's quarterbacking abilities put not only himself, but also the Huskies under the national spotlight. The New York Daily News produced a full-length feature story, highlighting the leader of a high-flying offense that made the Huskies a big-time story.
Bork called all the plays, relying 99 percent on the pass because "running wasn't in my vocabulary", said Bork, who threw for 3,077 yards and 32 touchdowns that season, taking advantage of new-fangled brand of football well ahead of its time.
"We were on the cutting edge because we threw the ball all over the place and that kind of thing was unheard of at the time," Bork said. "We were a really exciting team to watch."
Fletcher was a bit of a cavalier, putting his players in full pads only once a week to avoid injuries. The rest of the week was spent on perfecting an offense just starting to be used by the San Francisco 49ers and that was Fletcher's own schematic recipe that took bits and pieces of spread offense philosophy being developed by other coaches.
"Nobody knew how to defense it," Dean said. "We'd have five receivers out there and people couldn't defend us with a zone because (Bork) would just pick it apart and they couldn't defend us with man (defense) because they couldn't keep up."
Bork, who broke 16 national passing records during the 1963 season, was clearly the star of the show. Although he had thrown a fair amount at Arlington Heights High School, it wasn't anything close to what he did at NIU, when the Huskies ran almost exclusively out of the shotgun, allowing Bork to work his magic, often turning nothing into positive yardage.
"If he was rushed, he'd throw off the wrong foot and still make the play, or he might be loping along and suddenly fire the ball with just a wrist snap," Fletcher said in a Bork profile published years ago. "He also had the ability to take the shock of the biggest and roughest linemen breaking in on him He gave with the tackler. That was something you can't teach. Some have it, some don't."
Bork, who played four years in the Canadian Football League, was unfazed by the success. In addition to the stories being written by national publications, NIU was getting plenty of television coverage - something Bork said that was unheard of before then for the Huskies and for DeKalb.
But the Mineral Water Bowl appearance nearly never happened. The game was scheduled to be played in the days after President Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas. As the nation mourned, game officials debated whether the game – which NIU had appeared in and lost in 1962 – should be played.
They eventually agreed to allow the game to go on as scheduled, capping the Huskies' unbeaten season – an accomplishment Bork said was couched with what was happening in the country at the time.
"It was almost weird because we were really excited about our team but there was this time of national mourning going on," Bork said. "As excited as we were to be there, we were sharing in the grief everyone else was."
All these years later, Bork has focused on his alma mater's current success rather than looking back at his own. He marvels at the way Lynch operates NIU's potent offensive attack and at the way the Huskies earned an Orange Bowl berth.
He is still somewhat of a regular as Huskie Stadium, a venue referred to around DeKalb as "The House That Bork Built" and revels in the success of a program that has done more with less, often with players who – like him – were passed over for one reason or another.
Bork occasionally thinks back to 1963 – long before NIU was a postseason regular – and sees a common thread between now and then. He looks over names that before that year, no one knew nationally, but that found a way to become something special.
"We had a lot of talented people," Bork said. "We weren't going out there and getting a lot of big-name recruits, but we were just fortunate that we all landed at Northern at the same time."

Stacey Campfield just another ignorant, self-serving, stupid asshole that Tennessee Republicans put in the state legislature.
Views: 239
I live in Tennessee, and let me tell you, it sucks. The damned Republicans were hollering the Democrats wanted death panels just to cover their own tracks. It's really the Republicans who want death panels. They want to take away social security, medicaid and foodstamps. They know this will cost lives, and they simply don't care.
I'm a resident too and yes I agree it sucks.
Republicans are ike a bunch of monkeys throwing shit at a barn. Sooner or later, something might stick. So over and over again, that's what they do. All of their bizarre pronouncements, made up facts - also called lies - and all of their screaming and hollering about stuff is just a bunch of monkeys doing what monkeys do.
What makes me sick is that a lot of people like monkey antics and vote for them.
I don't think Republicans are one of the smarter monkey species. Or one of the cuter types. Maybe macaques.
It's sort of like that theory of random chance, if you have an infinite number of monkeys sitting at an infinite number of computer keyboards, for an infinite length of time, at some point one of them is going to write the software for WIndows 8.0.
Except with the Republican shit-slinging monkeys, if there are an infinite # of monkeys slinging shit at an infinited # of barns, at some point one is going to say "Look - that shit looks just like the Virgin Mary! It's a miracle! That monkey is a genius! Or both!" When the rest of us know it's just shit stuck to a barn wall.
Daniel, I had a dream last night. It looked like a few particles of dust came into my room. I rubbed my eyes and there they were just supported in the air. Suddenly I heard a voice say, "don't you recognize me? I'm the Virgin Mary." I had to admit that her appearance had changed over the years. I was also wondering how particles of dust could be supported in the air and how they could talk. She told me that I make things too complicated.
Yes, "we are all gonna die in Fema concentration camps." (I've heard it too.) Who is protecting us then? Is it GOD?
People are so confused on Obamacare to the point that my own stepfather says that is the healthcare plan that I chose. I'm almost 68 years old. I'll give you one guess as to what healthcare plan I have. Here's a hint. What "plan" does most people my age without money have?
I go to the page with this article about the senator and I see another problem. It says down by the bottom of that page that "American has the best healthcare system in the world." That's a lie! Google it to see. The truth is, America has the best healthcare "technology" in the world. See what a difference it makes to simply remove one word.
What I really find to be amusing is how often the GOP like to use shocking "Oh No! He didn't say that!" kind of metaphor as a means of comparing things that share little or no similarity.
"A Tennessee state senator thinks it's unwise for the Obama administration to brag about how many Americans have signed up for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act, likening it to the Nazis touting how many Jews were shipped to concentration camps."
Even in the rest of the article Campfield never managed to clear up how the two compare. Maybe next time he'll try for something even more shocking like,
"Republican senator likens Obamacare to getting a barbed wire enema".
i've come to the conclusion that the GOP and it's supporters have become a truly dangerous and scary political party, replete with it's own propaganda network and web allies. why the public is so forgiving is beyond me. after the gov't shutdown the polls reflected deep disapproval of Republicans, but a mere 3 months later that diminished. they get caught blatantly lying, saying awful shit, and going against the wishes of the American people and it seems that their punishment will be getting more control in DC. i suppose this means people aren't really paying attention.
maybe it's b/c they aren't in power on the national level, but what about the states? just to offer a few examples:
what happens if they win total control of the federal gov't? i have a feeling their toxic stew of ideas will meet swift backlash among the American people - yet i fear they won't care and it could pave the way to a truly fascist state. they're dangerous, and i wish more people knew it.

Discussion in 'The Bar' started by Hateman, Jan 27, 2013.
Go grandpa!
This might encourage Daveindiego to be more pro-gun.
This is the best the gun nuts can do for video of armed citizens actually doing something during a robbery? The guy was shooting point blank, and he couldn't stop them? Yeah, we need more armed people.
I would have figured there would be tons of these videos.
1. this is old.
2. massacre? looked like a robbery.
3. massacre? i guess when the senile old faggit in canvas loafers started shooting, it totally could have turned into a massacre.
4. thanks.
I always wanted to get fucked with a gun to my head sopranos style.
"Oh Richie youre the best! Your'e the best Richie! It should be you...It should be you."
The point was that the robbers fled before they had a chance to do any harm to anyone.... Whether or not the old man hit them is irrelevant .. When the Boons/Beans saw his weapon, they hauled ass out of there ....I.E. - criminals don't like when the tables are turned.. Consequently, they're not as anxious to walk into situations like this and commit a crime... Thus, overall crime stats go down.
There are tons of times guns are used in self defense, it happens daily.
What do you want to bet the punks had illegal guns?
Fact, areas with the most lax gun laws have fewest gun murders, not homicides because suicide is considered homicide but less murders. M
Have you seen Dave's feeble old man arms? He couldn't raise and fire a gun.
The point, you stupid old fuck, is that the guys that intend to commit massacres do so in areas where they know there won't be any armed resistance, such as elementary schools, college campuses and other "gun free zones". The moment someone shoots back at them these cowards would shit themselves and run. Just because you're a womanly coward doesn't mean there aren't real men who are prepared to protect themselves and others.
Fuck you, retard. You have proven how fucking stupid you are by trying to refer to this video as a "massacre". It was a plain and simple robbery, shithead. Your argument lost all validity.
lol, massacre.
If this was a real massacre, I'm would imagine the 'lunatic' would have simply taken out the old fuck with the gun first.
I never referred to the video as anything, let alone a massacre. Try and get one of your grandkids to go back and read my posts to you. Oh, that's right, you have to fuck a woman to have grandkids. Ask someone else in the rest home.
Maybe it was an assisted mass suicide
grrrr, you're soooo angry.
fuck you, shithead. You're a retard, accept your fate.
I accept your admission of defeat.
"anytime some lunatic goes on a shooting rampage, and is confronted by another armed person, they shit themselves and run"
I guess that premise didn't seem to fit the Columbine model. :
fucking retarded mouthbreathers.
It's in the title of the video, Einstein ...
When they heard the (armed) Police coming, what did the two perpetrators do ????
.......... SHOT themselves.
And when they confronted the armed security on campus, they shot at him. Then proceeded onto the massacre.
