"Time Stand Still" is my favorite Rush song as well. [8D]

RE: THE THREAD!!!
Freewill - on my top ten list of all time...
All preordained
A prisoner in chains
A victim of venomous fate.
Kicked in the face,
You can't pray for a place
In heaven's unearthly estate.
You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill;
I will choose a path that's clear
I will choose freewill.

ORIGINAL: Nikademus
Yeo made one attempt on Sacketts that i'm aware of, the raiding force was repulsed and was not a well reviewed operation from the UK standpoint. Primary standoff on Ontario was due to the squadrons themselves. Chauncey and Yeo had several indecisive skirmishes and frustrated both side's land commanders by being more obsessed with each other than helping support each side's land drives.
The United States laid down 2 ships of the line at Sackett's Harbor in 1813 or 1814, the New Orleans and the Chippewa. Both were almost completed before the end of the war. The New Orleans was still on the stocks there until 1883.
For what we are about to receive, may we be truly thankful.

Sweet Candy, Bitter Purchase
Grocery | North Dakota, USA
(The grocery store has an ongoing deal where a gas coupon for 6 cents off per gallon prints at the bottom of the receipt. The minimum purchase is $30 before tax.)
Me: “Your total comes to $29.76 before tax.”
Customer: “It says it’s $30 there!”
Me: “That’s after tax, sir. The coupon won’t print out unless you spend $30 before tax. If you add a candy bar, maybe?”
Customer: “It says $30!”
(He pays for the groceries.)
Customer: “Where’s my coupon?”
Me: “Like I told you, it didn’t come to $30 before tax. I told you that if you add a candy bar onto it–”
Customer: “Well, ring me up for a candy bar and give me my coupon!”
Me: “It doesn’t work like that, sir. It has to be $30 all at once.”
Customer: “You’ve got extra coupons back here, don’t you!? Just give me an extra one!”
Me: “I’m sorry, sir, but the coupons print at the bottom of receipts. We don’t have them to hand out. They will only print out when you purchase enough items.”
Customer: “Get me a coupon! I have a d*** candy bar!”
Me: “I can refund your entire order and then ring it up again with the candy bar. You’ll get the coupon that way, but your card might show a double charge for a brief period of time.”
Customer: “I don’t care! Do it!”
(I refund his entire purchase and then ring it up again, this time with a candy bar, putting his subtotal over $30. The 6-cent gas coupon prints out at the bottom. Satisfied, the man leaves.)
