See.... Here we go again Brandon If that's the way you feel about O.R, then why are you SO insistent about being here? Makes no sense You have your own website/group that seems to be thriving.... Why not just stay there & save yourself & us the constant aggravation? And you never answered my quid pro quo.... How often have/do O.R members come over & shit all over your site/people?? **Edit.... As I re-read yours & Todd's posts again several more times, I'm not sure which part of Todd's post you made the above comment about, so I'm gonna give the benefit of the doubt for now

Excellent reminders. That was/is one of my main concerns since we're a family of 6

John Wooden gone at age 99 Basketball lost a class act, ambassador & treasure http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704764404575287443338281132.html By STEPHEN MILLER and DARREN EVERSON Long before he was the "Wizard of Westwood," perhaps the greatest coach in collegiate basketball history, John Wooden was the "India Rubber Man," so named for bouncing back from his aggressive tumbles on the court. Mr. Wooden, who died Friday night of natural causes at age 99, built one of sports' greatest dynasties at UCLA in the 1960s and 1970s, when his Bruins won 10 national titles in 12 seasons. His teams, some featuring Lew Alcindor (now Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) and later Bill Walton, racked up four 30-0 seasons and won a record 88 consecutive games from 1971 to 1974. Mr. Wooden's trademarks as a coach were conditioning, drilling, and the "Pyramid of Success," a formula for clean living that admitted of no facial hair or profanity. While rival coaches spoke behind his back of "Saint John," Mr. Wooden lectured his players on the virtues of self-control and industriousness. He spouted pithy slogans like "Be quick, but don't hurry." View Slideshow Associated Press Wooden's Glory Days His players loved him. "When I left UCLA in 1974 and became the highest-paid player in the history of team sports at that time, the quality of my life went down," wrote Bill Walton in 2000 in UCLA Magazine. "That's how special it was to have played for John Wooden and UCLA." Mr. Wooden built his teams around the fast -break offense and he innovated with the full-court zone press defense, nicknamed "The Glue Factory" when he unveiled it in the 1963-64 season. That Bruins team went undefeated and won the NCAA championship, Mr. Wooden's first. "We are easy to scout but tough to play against," Mr. Wooden told Time in 1974. Raised on a farm that lacked electricity and running water outside Martinsville, Ind., John Robert Wooden grew up poor in a strict family. Mr. Wooden remembered years later that his first basketball hoop was a tomato basket and that he practiced shooting with a ball of rags stuffed in one of his mother's stockings. The family later lost the farm and moved to Martinsville, a small Indiana city so basketball-crazy that according to Mr. Wooden's memoir the population was 5,200 and the high school's gym seated 5,520. The Martinsville Artisans made it to the state finals three times during Mr. Wooden's high school career, winning once. As a student at Purdue University, Mr. Wooden led his team to the 1932 national title, was named All-America guard three times, and became known as "India Rubber Man." "Wooden's forte is dribbling," went a United Press dispatch of 1932. "The very speed of his dribbling causes him to have many tumbles on the floor…. He bounces back to his feet immediately and is away once more." After graduation, Mr. Wooden began coaching basketball at Dayton, Ky., High School, where in his first season of 1933-34 he had his only losing record as a coach. He went on teach physical education in the Navy during World War II, and after the war coached at Indiana State Teachers College. In 1948, UCLA lured him to the West Coast, where his fast-break offense caught opposing teams flat-footed. UCLA's record improved to 22-7 from 12-13 the year before. His attention to detail was so acute that he famously made a point of instructing his players how to properly put on their socks and shoes so as to avoid blisters and not have their shoelaces come untied. His "Wizard of Westwood" moniker came from the neighborhood that hosted UCLA's gym, a small and hot space that was known as the "B.O. Barn." "I wanted a better place to play," Mr. Wooden told Sports Illustrated in 1969. "But it didn't displease me that the other teams dreaded to come there." Although the Bruins quickly improved under his tutelage, the championships didn't come for years. But after Mr. Wooden won his first in 1964, UCLA dominated the sport like no team before or since, winning seven straight titles at one point from 1967 through 1973. His overall record at UCLA was 620-147. Legendary Bruins basketball coach John Wooden was hospitalized Thursday night.

Despite the statesmanlike image that Mr. Wooden cultivated in later years, he was known in his heyday for high-volume verbal encouragement directed at referees and opposing players alike. But he was never profane. His demeanor resembled the in-your-face defensive strategies he designed for his players. He retired in 1975 after winning one last NCAA championship, this one without a big man to lead the team. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal in March, during the men's and women's college-basketball tournaments, Mr. Wooden spoke about how he still followed the game closely, but that he had lost some enjoyment for it. "I don't like to watch it as much as I used to," he said. "I think there's too much showmanship. There's too much individual play. The players are better now--individually, they're better players--but we used to have better teamwork." Write to Stephen Miller at stephen.miller@wsj.com and Darren Everson at darren.everson@wsj.com

One week out peoples

Nahhh... I don't like this one near as much

I put together a pretty big kit after 9-11 Included things like platic sheeting & duct tape, like HLS kept recommending, lighters, TP, canned tuna, kerosene lamps, crank radio, tons of batteries, peroxide, bandaids, gauze, tape & other first aid supplies, surgical masks, etc, & stockpiled water by refilling old milk jugs Couple questions I'm betting Tom knows the answers to..... How long is kerosene "good" for? How long will water "keep" for.... i.e like I said, refilling milk jugs with city tap water?

Is that red paint, or fabric?? What's the 307? Pic looks funny blown up, like the bike is photochopped/superimposed on the background or something

You puttin' RedRock's apes on?

Reeeally.... That post came off as "angry"?? BTW.... You need to post up a bigger/better pic of that Spidey paintjob.... Thumbnail looks sweeet! PPS.... glws Brandon

You 'n me both You'll figure it out.... When he starts stickin' the first few inches in

Brandon.... Speaking only for myself in a non "official" capacity, I'm gonna answer this with all seriousness since you asked You're not my problem in this thread, nor are your Junkies as a whole. You haven't drunk posted anything stupid since last year, & there hasn't been any more bragging about filtering, or other squidly shit in a long time. By most accounts, you seem to be an OK guy, & obviously inspire fierce loyalty in some of your members I'm sure there are a lot of great people in your group down there in Cincy. However, since I don't hang on your board, the only representation I ever see of your group are the ones who come over here with minimal posts on O.R, startin' shit & tellin' everyone here to "Fuck Off" or "STFU", making threats, cyberstalking members here & posting their place of work while threatening to be waiting for them when they get off. Doesn't leave a good representation of your guys, group, etc, & as I learned in sales many years ago..... Presentation is everything.... Perception is reality, whether it's real or not O.R is my house. When an outsider belligerently comes into my house cussin' & swearin' & tellin' my "family" & friends to STFU, & eff you..... I'm gonna take offense to it. You know the old rule of thumb.... I can rag on my brother all I want to.... But nobody else better do it Quid pro quo..... When was the last time an O.R member came over to your site stirrin' shit up & tellin' everybody over there to fuck off?? I could go do it right now as an experiment, but I can already tell you what the result will be..... I'll get whacked like a pinata, & I would expect nothing less. So just when things start to settle down over here, Millerb7 comes over here with all of 200 posts & starts mouthin' off to all of us 20 pages into a thread that's been goin' on for days You're a smart guy Brandon.... What d'ya think the group reaction's gonna be? Like I said in here a couple nights ago.... You're a big boy, & don't need these guys continually comin' over here & gettin' shitty with O.R in the name of "gettin' my Prez's back". I understand & respect gettin' a friend's back.... But I reeeeally think it was overkill early on in this one Now if you want, I'm sure there's enough instigators & miscreants on this 4,000+ member board to give you an admin headache for awhile on yours, but I doubt that's what most of us want, is it?? So call your dogs off, & tell them to quit comin' over here hostile & pissin' everybody off Take it or leave it Your choice.... My $.02
