This is weird! I'm clingy.? For example today I was cycling and I found a garage and the man with his wife repaired it for free and were so nice to me and I got home safely. The weird thing is I'm afraid I will never see him again to say a proper thank you because he was quite old so just you know. I also listen to an amateur podcast but the podcasters live in another country and they are nearly idols and I'm afraid I will never get to see them and this makes me kind of sad. | | I don't think this is clinging. It's more like compassion, empathy, sympathy, anxiety, or something. | GlacierWolf Question about Life, Alaska, Shooting, Hunting, Flying, and being the best human ever? I am a long time resident of Alaska that actually knows what I am talking about.
GlacierWolf my question for you is as follows. You have done more in your life then any one man can physically do or even imagine. I understand that you have served in all branches of the military. You have lived in every city in Alaska and then many more outside of Alaska. You are an amateur gunsmith that likes to brag about his accomplishments on Yahoo Answers. You even surprise me sometimes with new ones like how you are an audio and video engineer. If I am not mistaken you are an “Olympic class shooter” that never went to the Olympics making you not an “Olympic class shooter.” I wish it was possible to put 3 bullets in the same hole at 300 yards maybe an Olympian could do it. In your superhuman insight you reveal answers to questions that even puts the Alaska fish and game to shame. If I understand correctly Alaska has 26.1 million Caribou while fish and game puts the number closer to 900,000 I am just not sure who is correct. I know you are a world traveler but can you tell me where Alaska and Russia touch? The 5 times I have crossed the Canadian boarder 2 of which were with my dog that was not tattooed, and neither one of us had 200 dollars of cash on us. Come to think of it I also brought my 30-30 rifle with little to no trouble. The many times I traveled by air to and from Alaska I didn’t stop in Seattle. There is a flight everyday from Portland to Anchorage by AlaskaAir. During the summer there are flights from Denver, Chicago, LA, Hawaii, and many others that are direct to Anchorage. When you and your new wife open up your latest restaurant in Fairbanks maybe I will fly there on one of the many flights to enjoy. In closing I would like to get to my question. Do you enjoy telling lies or do you just don’t know the truth?
I hope this helps
“There are approximately 900,000 wild caribou in Alaska” – Alaska Department of Fish and Game
“There are 26.1 million caribou in alaska’s largest herd” – Glacierwolf
Somebody is lying. Who is it?
Good luck. I am a professional photographer - so - lenses are my 'thing'. If you have any questions, feel free to email me.
My wife and I have both worked in restaurants at one time in our lives. If you have any specific questions - feel free to email us.
People, like me, who build these things - always have a national match or service match rifle handy to compair our work to. I owned about 12 AR's and spent 18 years shooting military competition before I built my first one from scratch.
I live in Alaska.
The problem is quite obvious why we hate Canadians. 95% of Alaska has to pass through Canada to get to Juneau, the capital of Alaska. We are not allowed to bring any form of food - meat, fish, etc - through the border. This means if I go to Juneau to fish and I catch a couple of nice 80lb halibut - I cannot bring it home. It also means when people from Juneau, Sitka, Ketchikan, Skagway etc etc come to the rest of Alaska they cannot hunt - because Canada will not allow them to bring the game meat home.
In Alaska we all carry guns for brown bear protection - heaven help you if you show up at the Canadian border with a firearm!! Even if it is Canadian legal. They will make you sit for hours before they decide to let you through the border - just to punish you for being Alaskan and owning a firearm. This means you can miss your ferry connection at Hanes.
Canadian's are feely allowed to enter Alaska. But, when an Alaskan goes to pass through Canada to drive to Seattle or the state capitol - we are required to have to have $200 cash in hand for each and every person in the car. Credit cards and check books do not count - they want to see $$ in American dollars. This means a family of 4 must have $800 cash in hand - and as you drive though Canada every crook and theif that recognizes you are Alaksan by your car's license plates knows they might be able to hold you up - and take your cash.
Oh, and if anyone in your car has had a DUI at any time in their life - the Canadian border guards make them turn around! Even if it was 40 years ago.
Not so much as the Canadian people we hate - we just hate the attitude of the Canadian border guards who hassel us.
You cannot fly direct to Alaska without first stopping in Seattle.
Your friend is not going to have a good time crossing the border - he will need to drive through Canada to get to Alaska. Canada law requires a health certificate for each animal - not a big deal when you arrive with one cat and one certificate........ but a real problem for a breeder who is traveling with allot of animals. Each animal will need to have a tatoo that identifies the animal and matches up with the health certificate.
Today it will put 4 rounds inside the exact same hole at 200 yards with the TLG Suppressor installed. The groups open up a tad with the suppressor off. | Glacierwolf says: I am a long time Olympic Class military competition shooter. I am a regular at my states yearly pistol championships.
First - 9mm is not allowed in competition. I got no clue what kinda competiton you are doing that uses a 9mm. Duh? For military, state, regional, and national shooting matches and competition the requirement is a 1911 45acp in ' as issued' condition. Although the rules will allow a Baretta 92F in "as issued" condition nobody in their right mind will use one - since even the US Army shooting team has not figured out a way to make a competition 92F model that can equal, let alone beat - the 1911.
Second - Glocks, Sigs, Springfield XD's - these are all service carry and duty carry pistols. None of them are suitable for competition.
Third - if you want a gun that is cheap to shoot and can be used in competition - you should be looking at a 22 long rifle pistol and probably a gun like the S&W Model 22a. This is a perfect enty level pistol for competiton and will not break the bank - it is quite affordable.
Nobody should begin pistol shooting with anything except a 22lr. For $400 you can get a nice model 22a and 2,000 rounds of 22 ammo. Enough to become a really good shot. You go buy a 9mm and start learning to shoot on it - two years from now you will still be a lousy shot and only have $400 in spent brass + a 9mm pistol to show for your troubles........ so - the choice - do you want to have a bag of spent cases come 2012 or would you like to have a nice 22 pistol, nice 9mm pistol, and be a good shot for the same money?
Hope this helps
He also says:
I am a former Olympic Class military long distance competiton shooter.
That does not make me a sniper. I have trained with sniper, fired matches against snipers and won - but - that still don't make me a sniper.
'Sinper' is the term for a highly trained military shooter skilled at infiltrating any terrain (jungle, rural, urban, city) and hitting a designated target.
In the hands of such a person - a BB gun becomes a sniper rifle.
Think of it this way. Just because you own a house with a full kitchen stove, blender, toaster, microwave oven, and tons of pots and pans - it does not make you a chef.
In the hands of a skilled chef - an egg on a camp fire is gonna taste out of this world!
Who is to say what is a sniper rifle and what is a non-sniper rifle? Or, the difference between an expensive match rifle and a sniper rifle? What most people call 'sniper' rifles is actually a match rifle - but - just because you own it, does not make it a sniper rifle unless you have the skills and training.
Hope this helps. | Critic my Poem? Its said the best writing is often inspired by tragic,sorrowful or venemous events. This is my first attempt at poetry. I know it is amateur and does not subscribe the modern rage of free verse. It is inspired by the almost concurrent lose of the most prescious creature I have known, a cat named Jamilla Sinjab and my wife of 29 years deciding the best relationship we can have is to be no more than friends.

Please give your honest thoughts on how to improve this poem.
Amor Jamilla
You must be thinking
how tricky and clever of him
To write you this poem
as if he were me, Jem
I tell you this now
dont think what it seems
I speak with him daily
quite often in dreams
I know you love poetry
and music and laughter
Returning this to you
is what I am after
I rest by your side
you rub my furred brow
The memory of this
I recall fondly now
I speak to you softly
from a long way afar
You keep unsafe feeling
locked tight in a jar
Surely you learned
from our time together
To cherish each moment
among flowers and heather
To learn from the past
not fear the future
The present is sewn
tightly with suture
One door you closed on him
the other open for me
This leads to demise
of both he and thee
I find no fault of you
my love is to forgive
we both spent our time
learning to love and to live
You took the man
to have and to hold
Then one named Barak
captured your soul
Losing dear Molly
caused him to regret
To find her replacement
he soon was set
You found me through paws
Im certain of that
Instantly he knew me
"what an african cat"
Its puzzling to me
and so it seem
not seeing beyond wants
and into the dream | | Well Bill, I'm a realist and life is full of ups and downs!! There's no guarranties or warranties, it's how you deal with the downs that makes your character!!

My wife and I just had a baby and we have no support system in this state so we are on our own. So basically she takes up all of our time and we are trying to maximize the free time we have and cutting out food prep times would save us a good 1.5 to 2.0 hours per day. I need to lose 50 lbs after gaining it due to a back injury but I am better than ever now but im sitting at 250 lbs. I used to be an amateur bodybuilder when I was younger and I have a huge frame for my size and my problem is I still am eating like I am training. I need to cut my portions down a ton and my wife suggested Nutrisystems but I heard the food is terrible so I thought about South Beach and like the theory on the weight loss but I DON'T WANT TO COOK.
Anyone that has tried this please give me some input. Appreciate it. | The point of South Beach is to cut out all sugar - ALL sugar. For the first 2 weeks, you're limited to: vegetables (except for corn, beets, carrots because they have sugar), LEAN meats (very little red meat), low-fat cheeses in limited quantities, and nuts in limited quantities.
You would have a very hard time doing phase 1 of the South Beach diet using only prepackaged foods, because almost all prepackaged goods have sugars.
Honestly, weight loss is hard. I understand that you have a baby and it takes up a lot of time, but if you're truly dedicated to weight loss, you're going to have to put in the effort. There's no 'easy' button for weight loss. You don't have to put in 1.5-2 hours of food prep time a day unless you're making extensive meals that have a lot of ingredients. Go buy the South Beach Diet cookbook, look at the recipes in there - many of them have a prep time of only 10 minutes. Put the effort in; you'll thank yourself for it, and so will your guy when you're healthy and alive for his/her graduation day. | Need Suggestions for the title of a poem I wrote? Hey guys, i have been working on a grade 12 english assignment about a poem .. my poem is about a rubix cube which is used as symbol to represent women... i simply dont know what i could name it because of the wide range of themes in it... so if there are any title suggestions please feel free to add ... even if you think something should be modified in the poem to make it sound better, just spit it out without hesitation :) kk so heres the poem
I was introduced to this toy,
when I first came to school
I was just a little guy,
but it's shape made me drool
I loved all the colours,
There was red, green and white
I wish I could take one home,
May be just for a Friday night
So one day I went to the mall,
And got myself a rubix cube
My friends said, finally!
But I was too amateur to make a move.
I held it tight in my hands,
Trying to hold it still
I will never forget that day
I was on a coaster called erotic thrill
I twisted it carefully, turning it from left, to right
And this is when I realized
Its nature was more complicated,
And not just a pretty sight
I took it with me everywhere,
Movies, clubs, even a carnival fair
Hoping to solve the impossible puzzle
And my buddies called me whipped
When they saw my miserable struggle
I have had enough
But I did not want a fight
So, I asked my cube nicely, "Is everything alright?"
The cube did not respond, and just gave me a stare
And that made me say , "You know what, I don't even care"
I wanted to cheat, cheat my way through
By peeling off the stickers
And pasting them back on, with a quick-stick glue
But I ain't that kind of guy,
I knew the difference between right and wrong.
To master the colour combinations,
I even wrote an algorithmic song.
Finally came the day,
when the fog cleared up
I held my cube by the corner
And turned it left, right, down and up
The combination now made sense
All you needed was patience,
Then it was all easy and simple enough
There was no real strategy,
Intuition is what you need
Because this poem is based on reality
Respect and love is what will makes succeed
These sweet girls are no toys nor cubes
They are yet more complex
Even rocket science approves
So playing with their feelings
Is goona haunt you for life,
Because you never know, one of these colours
Just might be your wife. | | The Ruin of Rubix | Did i do the right or wrong thing? Here is the story.Today was my shoulder and abs day(delts,traps and abs) so i went to a resident gym which is free for all people that live in that area.My main gym is world gym.I mostly go there to do cardio since there is not much weights there to do.Dumbbells go upto 50lbs and barbells total weights upto 255 and 45lb olympic bar and 1-3 machines which are not good.
Well ya i was doing shoulder and after few mins some guy and his wife showed up probably in his 30s or whatever.
Well he jumped in directly to set no warm up no stretch nothing he put 30 degree on the bench and did 50lbs/hand dumbbell very bad form and doing 1/2 reps.I didnt say anything about his form is anything.He probably did 10 sets like that.
Then he jumped into triceps pushdown.As a gym rat/bodybuilder i couldnt just stand there and say nothing.So i asked what exercise he is doing.He said triceps pushdown.Then i told him when you do tris pushdown keep your body steady and i also told him you are using too much back instead of triceps.He was also using too much weight on those which i didnt tell.Then he said i know i know whatever.
Then he got mad he didnt say anything to me since i am 2 times bigger than him but i could tell from his facial expression that he didnt like what i said and he left.
Do you think i did the right or wrong thing?.If someone more muscular not saying i am big guy tell me i am using too much weight or wrong form i would ask him to show me the right form and i wont get mad at someone for giving me advice.Infact i do ask for advice from amateur bodybuilders in world gym not about exercises but about right training and also nutrition and also what areas muscles i need to develop more. | you did the right thing
usually it pisses the person off
but if someone tells me how to do something that i think or dont know how to do
i usually listen
ive done the same thing as you before though
this was last year when i was bulking there was this guy he was pretty fat as well
he was a freaking idiot
he did 1/4 squats with 500 pounds with NO warmup
not even quarter like half of a quarter whatever that is the ****** up thing is he leaned forward which freaking kills your back
then goes to deads
rounds his back terribly it made me cringe
i couldnt STAND this i was like ok this guy is going to hurt himself really bad
i walk over there when he was doing bentover barbell rows with the worst form i have ever seen and im like
hey man your form isnt that good, your going to get hurt if you keep doing it they way your doing it i would like to show you how its done so you dont hurt yourself
then hes like
i dont need your advice i seen the form from bodybuilding.com and on the internet
i was like ok man have fun hurting yourself you fat *** mother ****** i was just trying to ******* help so you dont **** yourself up but i guess you know more than i do huh?
then he got pissed and walked away
i remember this clearly...because it still pisses me off lol | Who supports this call for a better way for women...? p1 ( www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news… )

We wouldn't be asking for it in cases of murder, terrorism, etc., but only in those where a woman has decided to terminate a husband or boyfriend. The argument would be that in such cases, the woman herself should be spared the disagreeable necessity of performing the deed, and the man of having to endure an amateur execution that might prove cruel, unusual and prolonged.
Under the system I propose, where a man is to be terminated, his wife or girlfriend would simply provide his name and address to the police, who would then deliver him to a kind of "Morgentaler clinic" for unwanted men. There'd be a slight, but unavoidable paperwork delay, while the police assured themselves that all the man's property would be transferred to his widow or girlfriend by a proper will. (We might also need a court ruling to prevent life insurance companies from refusing to pay out after a man has been "euthanized.") As a legal formality, there might at first be a standing committee of qualified feminist experts at every "men's clinic," to pronounce judgment before each execution is performed. Later, our Supreme Court could strike down this formality, as an unwarranted interference in women's "equality rights."
~~~
The above article notes how feminism has paved the way for murderous women to get away with... murder, relying on various excuses.
One page one he brings to our attention the obvious flaws with feminist "studies" and "experts" and addresses the converse scenarios, which of course, would never be acceptable either in a court of law or feminist ideology.
I think his system here is great - it would save many 'bored' women, or gold-diggers who feel they've endured enough of the man's company to deserve his full estate, from having to do the deed themselves, and so, these poor women would then be free to live a fulfilling life, without the shackle of a husband dragging them down to the gutter.
Do you think if feminists went for this, they might finally stop whining and blaming men for everything?
Is there anything more they could possibly demand from us? | | That's retarded Im starting a petition for unwanted women to be shot on sight | What is my grandmother's old bathtub made of? The house was orignally built in 1895, but the bathtub may have been installed later when they remodeled around 1930. The tub includes a typical looking drain, so plumbing was available at the time. It's a built in model, not free-standing, and so they apparently had plumbing at the time for running hot and cold water too.
There is a coating of paint which is peeling off. This is a recent (amateur) paint job. We peeled some off today and revealed what we thought was the original coating, an off-white color. Then my wife was able to peel a tiny area of that off, revealing a reddish brown color.
My first thought was that the tub is made of a ceramic material, and perhaps a thin piece of coating had chipped off in that area, and somebody had painted it to make it look better. (If true, that would explain why we could peel it off so easily. We couldn't peel any more of that layer off) Later I thought that maybe what we were seeing was rusted iron.
Anybody know what tubs were made of back then, both the base material and the coating? I know they had cast iron back them, but did they also have a reddish brown porcelain? | | Highly unlikely that it's ceramic or plain porcelain because they are just too fragile and I've never heard of a tub made from either. I think you're looking at a porcelain enamelled cast iron tub, on which the porcelain is peeling and allowing water to get through to the cast iron which is rusting. That's why you were able to peel off a little of the porcelain coating. It may have gotten chipped, allowing water to get at the cast iron and weakening the bond between porcelain and iron, and porcelain can even wear thin and allow water to rust the cast iron and that can stain the thinned porcelain. | Has anyone had a problem with NTB breaking wheel lug studs and other parts? My wife took her minivan to NTB for a free tire rotation, while she was replacing a tire. They broke three studs on one wheel (it's a five lug wheel), so the wheel was held on by only two studs. And they were two studs in adjacent holes, so they did not span the center of the hub.
I found the damage while I was putting air in the tire. I called NTB and the manager said it's normal, they break studs every day. He said it's a common thing because they're using impact wrenches to tighten the lug nuts. He said bring it on by and they'll replace the broken studs at no charge for the labor, we only have to pay for the parts.
I said it's not safe to drive, so he said then tow it in. I asked if NTB would pay for the tow, and he said no. He acted like I should be happy to get no charge for the labor.
Once we got the minivan to the shop, they replaced all five studs on that wheel. Then they found another broken stud on another wheel. They damaged the spindle and CV axle while they were replacing that broken stud. By then it was getting late, so they had to keep the vehicle overnight to get replacement parts and finish the job the next day.
When it was all said and done, the store manager agreed to do the whole job for no charge, including parts. And he agreed to reimburse her for the towing.
That's all good, and I told him I appreciated it. But still - breaking four studs doing a tire rotation? Then doing even more damage while repairing the broken studs? What are they, a bunch of amateurs???
Has anyone else had this kind of experience at NTB? | While wheel studs do break from time to time during routine tire removal services it is usually when the lug nuts are taken off, not when they are put on. The reason why the studs break is invariably because the last person to install them cross-threaded the lug nuts. You can't cross-thread them taking them off as they are already either threaded correctly or not. Now at my shop if we have a lug nut that appears to be cross threaded before we break it we tell the vehicle owner what is going on and we stock studs and nuts for most vehicles so we have replacements on-hand if needed. That said, it has been months since we have had a broken stud in my shop.
Rarely a stud will break when tighting lug nuts even when the nuts are not cross-threaded. 2 years ago I had 2 studs break on my 11 year-old minivan on the same hub when I was tightening them myself - by hand- with a torque wrench. Apparently it was metal fatigue and I have not had any problems since but for every case like that I easily see 100 or more break due to previously cross-threaded nuts.
Now it appears NTB never told you the studs were broken or offered to replace them - at your cost or theirs. This opens them up to rather considerable liability as 2 tuds are completely inadequate to safely retain the wheel. Now they did eventually take care of you but this was handled appallingly. Might I humbly suggest finding a new place to have your service done in the future? | What do you think of this story? I found this story on-line. Thank you and God Bless you.?

Casualty of Porn
ROLLING STONE, December 5, 2005
Not long ago, Chris Wilson was just another anonymous geek making a modest living off amateur porn. Today he's the most notorious man online.
The twenty-eight-year-old founder of nowthatsfuckedup.com, a site where guys swap sexually explicit shots of their wives and girlfriends, was arrested in October at his Lakeland, Florida, home -- a raid in which Wilson was cuffed and his computer seized. Now he's out on bail and possibly facing life in prison after being hit with one of the stiffest obscenity charges in the history of the Net. But there's burgeoning doubt over which dirty pictures really landed him behind bars: the site's quotidian porn or its hundreds of graphic images, allegedly uploaded by U.S. soldiers, of dead Iraqis.
There's little question that the site is disturbing. Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd calls it "so perverse and outrageous and unconscionable, I believe it would have shocked the conscience of the most liberal people in the United States." But who really engineered the arrest: local authorities or those in the highest reaches of government?
To many, this case, which some liken to 2003's "flag-draped coffin" controversy, raises serious questions about the public's perception of war and the future of free speech on the Internet. "It creates the possibility for censorship . . . based on the standards of the least tolerant community," says Kurt Opsahl of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a nonprofit digital-rights group.
For Wilson, the saga started with credit-card problems. After launching the site, he began getting e-mails from soldiers who couldn't join because of bank-verification issues. So Wilson told them that if they could provide photographic proof that they were in Iraq, he'd let them on for free.
At first the photos he received were benign, such as soldiers posing by their tanks and barracks. But then came the gore. One picture shows a severed head floating in a bowl of blood. Another, a dismembered arm. A particularly gruesome photo shows a guy with bloody pulp where his face used to be.
Though Wilson says he was shocked when he first saw the photos, he empathized with the soldiers' desire to show the realities of service. Rather than censoring the images, he created a separate forum for them, quoting a line from Life, when the magazine published war-dead photos during the Spanish Civil War: "Dead men have indeed died in vain if live men refuse to look at them."
Wilson never requested photos of the dead, but news of the site soon broke with the "bodies-for-porn" sound bite. Likely fearing another Abu Ghraib, the Army launched an inquiry into whether the images constituted a felony. But the photos couldn't be verified, and Wilson fell outside military jurisdiction. Though the postings from soldiers could be a violation, says Army spokesman Paul Boyce, "we can't enforce the Uniform Code of Military Justice on civilians." The military inquiry was done. But then the cops showed up.
Polk County has a history of being tough on porn, and local officials insist the pictures of war dead were not the reason for the arrest. "Our charges were not related to the notoriety brought to that Web site" by the war-dead photos, says Chip Thullberry of the local state attorney's office. But both Thullbery and Judd say that information from Wilson's arrest has been shared with the military. Given that the government took his computer, it could now identify -- and prosecute -- soldiers who e-mailed photos to the site. Boyce, however, denies knowing of a military connection to the case. "I'm not aware of any communications from [the prosecution]," he says.
Given the enormity and unique nature of the charges against Wilson (previous obscenity cases against porn masters have been ruled unconstitutional or dismissed), his attorney Lawrence Walters finds the dissociation hard to believe. "There may be a political undercurrent here," he says. "To what extent was this mandated by the military using the local state attorney as a pawn?"
He's not the only one raising this question. When news of the photos first broke, Arsalan Iftikhar of the Council on American-Islamic Relations sent a letter to Donald Rumsfeld demanding an investigation. Iftikhar now believes Wilson's arrest was a "politically motivated" solution. "It wouldn't surprise me," he says, "if the charges were there to deflect from the issue at hand: the violence suffered by the Iraqi people."
An anonymous source, claiming Pentagon access, went further: "Once the deputy chief of staff got word, a call was made to the Florida prosecutor and the governor, who of course is related to the president. A day later, [Wilson was] arrested."
Regardless of who was behind the arrest, a conviction would have a chilling effect. Obscenity, particularly online, is difficult to prove because it relies on the slippery criteria of community standards.
Wilson's site, which runs on computers in Europe with content from around the world, exists in the vast online community. If his case goes to trial, a jury of Polk County spinsters could effectively regulate content for the entire planet.
As Wilson awaits the outcome, the site is still up and running. A Freechris.org movement has launched in his support. And the photos of the war dead keep coming. | Woah.
That is messed up. |
