One of the greatest gifts you can give your child is to follow a healthy sun protection program, right from the start. Because the more we learn about UV exposure, the more dangerous we know it to be, especially for children. Did you know…
Now for the good news! Building healthy sun safety habits is really a matter of taking simple safety precautions, like those recommended by AAP and the Skin Cancer Foundation:
When it comes to sun protection, there is no shortage of abbreviations. But understanding them is easier than you might think.
UV "UV" is short for "ultraviolet," as in ultraviolet rays. There are two types of skin-damaging UV rays:
Both UVA and UVB rays are dangerous and can cause skin cancer, so kidsand adultsneed to be protected from both.
UPF UPF stands for "Ultraviolet Protection Factor." UPF is a universal rating system that measures the sun-blocking effectiveness of clothing and other fabric-made gear. UPF clothing (also referred to as "UV clothing") is specially designed to block both UVA and UVB rays.
There are three UPF categories under the U.S. rating system:
The numberslike "UPF 15"refer to the percentage of UV rays that penetrate the fabric and reach the skin. All Sun Smarties fabrics are UPF 50+. This means that only 1/50th of UV rays shining on the fabric ever reach your child's skin. The remaining 49/50ths (or 98%) of UV rays are blocked. When it comes to sun protective clothing, Sun Smarties offers the highest level of UV protection available.
SPF SPF is an abbreviation for "Sun Protection Factor." While the UPF scale applies to fabrics, SPF is the rating system used to categorize sunscreens and sunblocking lotions.
Technically, SPF measures the amount of time it takes UVB rays to redden exposed skin. So while you've probably heard people use the term "SPF clothing," it's not really accurate. What they really mean is UPF (or UV) clothing.
We developed our Sun Smarties kids' clothing and gear to make sun protection easier for parents. Years ago, after testing other kids' UV swimwear and UPF clothing, we saw an opportunity to create something better. Each year, we expand and refine our Sun Smarties clothing and gear in response to feedback we receive from parents and customers. We hope that you'll scope out our Sun Smarties collection, and that you'll make us part of your child's sun protection regime.

This Just In ...
Kevin Fischer is a veteran broadcaster, the recipient of over 150 major journalism awards from the Milwaukee Press Club, the Wisconsin Associated Press, the Northwest Broadcast News Association, the Wisconsin Bar Association, and others. He has been seen and heard on Milwaukee TV and radio stations for over three decades. A longtime aide to state Senate Republicans in the Wisconsin Legislature, Kevin can be seen offering his views on the news on the public affairs program, "InterCHANGE," on Milwaukee Public Television Channel 10, and heard filling in on Newstalk 1130 WISN. He lives with his wife, Jennifer, and their lovely young daughter, Kyla Audrey, in Franklin.
UPDATE: This is the kind of ridiculous junk we worry about in Franklin
Previously on This Just In...
The update:
Thursday night, when many will turn their attention to celebrating Valentine's Day, Franklin's Architectural Review Board will waste time discussing whether heavier regulation of LED signs is necessary. LED stands for "light emitting diode."
The board is worried that the city, and this is hard to believe, doesn't have any stipulations in its building code to address the few (FranklinNOW reports a "handful") LED signs that display bright images. Too bright for board member Ted Juerisson. FranklinNOW reports Juerisson "brought the issue to the board, noting that the brightness of the signs, such as the one located at the car wash on Rawson Avenue, can be overwhelming, especially at night."
The Las Vegas strip. Now that's overwhelming, not lil ol' Franklin.
FranklinNOW also reports that "Building Inspector Fred Baumgart said that the signs also can pose a distraction to drivers if the displayed images or messages change too frequently."
Now that's a real toughie. If I was a reporter and the building inspector told me that the LED sign at the car wash could pose a danger, I'd get on the phone and call the Franklin Police Department for the latest data about vehicle crashes near that site. Should be pretty easy given that 76th and Rawson is one of Franklin's major intersections. Not surprisingly, the FranklinNOW reporter omits this key element of the story.
Could LED signs be dangerous for motorists? About two weeks ago, I found this headline on treehugger.com:
New Study Finds Link Between LED Billboards and Likelihood of Highway Crashes
The results of a new Swedish study are referenced by the website reporter:
"Overall, the electronic billboards attract more visual attention than the other traffic signs included in the study. Dwell times are longer, the visual time sharing intensity is higher, very long single glances are more frequent, and the number of fixations is greater for the electronic billboards."
The reporter even expresses his agreement with an activist who claims that highways should be off limits to advertising signs.
One assumes that the finding from the study is that LEDs are hazardous. Except that's not what the study says, a key element once again omitted by a reporter.
The conclusion of the study states: "Whether the electronic billboards attract too much attention and constitute a traffic safety hazard cannot be answered conclusively based on the present data." Also, "no effect was found for the driving behaviour data."
Back to Franklin's Architectural Review Board. Their discussion Thursday night will be an attempt to look and feel somewhat relevant. But actions they and potentially the Common Council take could be more dangerous than the LEDs they're so worried about.
Suppose a decision is made to clamp down on these LEDs affecting the car wash at 76th and Rawson to the point the LED has to be altered dramatically or taken down. Is that good for business? Would that send the right message to other potential business owners?
These characters should stick to telling new homebuilders if their siding is in compliance

Obama: 'I Dont Have Much Patience for People Who Deny Climate Change'
"My only interest is making sure that when I look back 20 years from now..."
Daniel Halper May 30, 2013 7:02 AM
At a fundraiser last night in Chicago, President Barack Obama signaled that he's interested in his legacy as a president and insisted that he's willing to work with anyone.
"My only interest is making sure that when I look back 20 years from now, I say I accomplished everything that I could while I had this incredible privilege to advance the interests of the broadest number of Americans and to make sure that this country was stronger and more prosperous than it was when I came into office. Thats my only interest," the president said.
"And that means that I am willing to work with anybody -- Republican, Democrat or independent -- to get stuff done. And I am not going to put the pause button on for the next year and a half or two years or whatever it is, simply to position myself for the next election. If Ive got a Republican whos willing to work with me to rebuild our infrastructure, lets go. If Ive got a Republican out there whos willing to get serious about what we need to deal with our long-term deficit challenges, Im prepared, come on, lets talk."
But Obama then suggested he'd draw the line at "climate change" deniers. "If Ive got somebody who has a different approach to dealing with climate change -- I dont have much patience for people who deny climate change, but if youve got creative approaches, market-based approaches, tell me about them. If you think Im doing it the wrong way, let me know. Im happy to work with you," said Obama.
The fundraiser at a private residence was to support the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
There, fixed it.
Obama can kiss my cold white ass.
"'I Dont Have Much Patience for People Who Have Zero Qualifications to Be Sitting in the White House"
Well I do not have patience with people who also make stuff up.
He certainly works with al Qaeda, the Moslem Brotherhood,
and of course polygamists in Kenya (his birth home).
Real Americans? Not so much.
What happened to global warming? Everyone agrees climate change has been happening since the Earth began.
So that's why he's still in campaign mode 24/7.
"And that means that I am willing to work with anybody — Republican, Democrat or independent — to get stuff done.
As long as they agree with everything I say and do.
I don't have much compassion for people that commit Treason.
Well, that makes us even Jug Ears, I don't have much patience with those who deny their African Birth Heritage
I have NO patience for Liars like Obozo.
But there is no denying that Climate Changes, but it is not man who is causing climate change. You don't often hear about Global Warming anymore. Now it is Climate Change, but they are still trying to sell the same Global Snake Oil prescription.
It is the Sun, not man that drives our climate change patterns, which are cyclical.
LOL. The little commie boy is desperate for this big government growth scam to succeed even though everyone with at least half a brain knows by now that "climate change" is a hoax.
So then prove it exists! Guess this gives him an excuse to send his EPA goons out on those he hates.
Pray for America to Wake Up
I don't have much patience for junk science and tyrants.
Mine! ALL MINE!!!!
I have no patience for ideologically driven scientific illiterates who try to push the besotted beliefs down everyone's throats.
I have less patience for marxist kenyans who steal their way into the people's house.
It's called WEATHER.
I Dont Have Much Patience for People Who Don't Have A Birth Certificate
and that's why the left says we need more government. Globull warming phase II.
Why do I get this real sense of threatening dread when I read that?
Like, concentration camp level dread...
I don't have any patience for those that refused to order aid sent to the 36 Americans trapped in Benghazi.
Multiple times.
The Marxist dictator is happy to work with you when you agree with him.
And then use the IRS as a political weapon to regain that office.
Liar, Liar Pants A fire! This statement by Odumb@$$ is worthy of more Pinocchio's.
America is stuck on stupid with ObamaNOcchio
Obama is like the 7th grade substitute teacher who nobody respects and when he loses his patience, everyone just laughs at him (or her).
The more interesting question is, what "next election" is he thinking of positioning himself for?
Is he planning on running for president again?
I don't have much patience for corrupt muslim Kenyan community organizers who pretend to be president. He won by fraudulent means. His legacy is already steeped in murder and corruption and nothing they do to try to redeem him will work.
History will prove him to be the most failed and illiterate president this country has ever had to deal with. I can see the history books now. Pictures of Hawaii, Marthas Vinyard, AF1, AND A GOLF COURSE.
Agreed! But the MSM, the elite scientific community and the LIAR OBAMA are distorting the scientific facts. I have NO PATIENCE for lies and liars.
KMFA owebama
I have NO patience for Zero or his entire corrupt regime and media arm.
FUBO ~ may you rot in Hell for Eternity.
You filthy scum-sucking bastard. America's first bastard president.
"The New Normal" -
the last two 'rat presidents were fatherless as children.
I demand separation of Climate Change and state.
I don't think that Obama is planning on running again.
I do think he is planning to stay in office until someone physically removes him.
He has shown disgust and contempt for the Constitution and the rule of law. What makes anyone think he will honor the term limit on the presidency?
So he is a mental midget and prone to crazy conspiracy theories called "climate change". That is about HIM, not about me.
I don't have to worship Obama and his anti-American agenda.
(Praise God)
I don't deny climate change, it happens four times a year. We call it the four seasons.
Lying sack of camel ****.
How dare you bring actual and documented facts to this discussion!
First, you and your ilk really do not know what is best for everyone - sorry to have to break that to you. You only think you know best because the self-assured (but equally wrong) {expletives} in the mutual self admiration club you surrounded yourself with growing up have told you that you're oh so well informed and wise. You are not. You didn't grow up in America, you have absolutely no ****ing clue what real Americans are like. None.
Two, no-one really cares what you say. they care about the office. Before you held office, what have you done, what have you accomplished? Nada. You really don't know how to do anything other than get elected. No one is going to call you up to help fix their garage door, go fishing, get their boat ready for summer, etc. You really don't know dick about anything. No one would listen to you if it weren't for your current position. Once you leave office, 99% of the people who currently hang on your every lying word will quickly forget you.
Spring, Summer, Fall & Winter are all accepted forms of climate change.
Man-made "Global Warming" however is a hoax, perpetrated by manipulated data and willful denial of real data.
First is was Man-made Global Cooling that was going to destroy the planet, when that mantra died, then came Man-Made Global Warming.
Now we have the generic Climate Change so the libs cover both bases.
And the funny "coincidence" was that both problems had the same solutions, and those solutions JUST HAPPENED to line up with the leftist/communist agenda. Go figure.
The earth has been warming and cooling for 4.3 billion years.
What's new ?
Even climate change hysterics admit that there has been NO WARMING since 1998 and that they have NO explanation for it.
I have no patience for those who were wrong and refuse to admit it.
A real arabesque that positions him on the other side of the leftist issue.
No one argues that the earth has had global climate changes. Ice ages and mini ice ages have been and will continue to be,
The issue has always been is there MAN-MADE GLOBAL WARMING. Now that science, communication and alternative media has pushed back on this elite excuse for a power grab, he subtly changes his former position. And the Lame Stream media slavishly sucks up. I hope the alternative media catches it.
My nephew is in high school and his teachers are all fools......they just expose their liberal agenda
Kind of like the gun vote huh? He said the folks deserved a vote on the issue. They voted, they lost. Tantrum time when it didn't go the way he wanted. But, at least he's willing to work with anybody. NOPE!

Ray Smith provides stability in Twins organization
ELIZABETHTON, Tenn. - Ray Smith has been with the Elizabethton Twins of the Appalachian League for 27 years.
In a sport where rosters and staffs are constantly changing, he has been a constant in the Minnesota Twins organization.
"We believe in stability," Minnesota Twins General Manager Terry Ryan told News 5 WCYB. "We have very few changes in our organization. There's a lot of comfort in sending players to Ray Smith with the Elizabethton franchise. I always have a lot of confidence these guys are getting into the pro game on the right foot."
Smith is a former major league player with the Twins. When he started in Elizabethton in the late 80s as a coach, he told his family they wouldn't move again.
He has helped the Twins win eight Appalachian League championships. "They talk about all those wins," Smith told News 5 WCYB. "I didn't swing at one pitch. I didn't throw one pitch or field a ground ball. I put the lineup out there and change a pitcher every now and then."
During the off-season Smith serves as the athletic director at nearby Milligan College.
His Twins are currently in first place in the Appalachian League West Division.

The whodunit? when it comes to Apple's (AAPL) swift late-year stock decline is a subject of perennial interest. In my colleague Tiernan Ray's weekend column on the subject, we come back to the hedge-fund hypothesis.
It goes like this: Fund managers who gorged on Apple's stock had strong incentives to sell as soon as the stock weakened. They bailed. But we won't know in the aggregate for a while, since we don't have the portfolio disclosures.
In this vein, Ray speaks with David Rolfe of Wedgewood Partners, a firm with nine percent of assets invested in Apple. Rolfe predicts we'll see many funds have bailed:
We will likely see a "very different picture" of holdings when funds report their December-quarter changes come mid-February, says Rolfe. He expects many to have trimmed their outsize investments in the shares.
Ray has an interesting look at the number of companies with a big chunk of their portfolios in Apple now:
It used to be that [Rolfe] would see his firm near the top each quarter. Not so now, as money managers piled into the stock this year. Indeed, in the September quarter, Wedgewood ranked merely 67th in percentage of fund holdings invested in Apple.
Chicago-based Gladius Capital Management topped Edgar's list, with 94% of its portfolio in Apple in September, after having purchased the entire reported holding, 17,416 shares, in the quarter. Gladius did not return a call for comment.

Paul Birdsey, the Division of Wildlife Resources southeast region aquatics manager told the Emery County Public Lands Council how the brown trout in Huntington Creek are responding to the changing water levels in the stream. "The Electric Lake dam is operated under a special use permit from the US Forest Service. PacifiCorp requested reduced stream flow to build up the amount of water being stored in Electric Lake. This request was approved on the conditional monitoring of this blue ribbon fishery," said Birdsey.
Birdsey stated this reduced stream flow began in 2002 and the monitoring was contracted to a private firm. In 2005, PacifiCorp contracted with the DWR for the monitoring services. Each year, two surveys of the brown trout are completed. One is done in July and one is done in September. These surveys are taken over a one-tenth section of the stream in two separate locations. One site is just below the Electric Lake dam, and the lower section is near Old Folks Flat.
For the past two years of surveys, the indications are that the population of brown trout may be declining slightly in both areas. This data is very susceptible to interpretation but the numbers appear to be declining. During the sampling, the fish at the upstream site are approximately 10 millimeters larger, more robust and healthier than the downstream fish, and the numbers of fish are larger in the fall than in the spring.
"One big problem that we are experiencing now is the filamentous algae in the stream. This may be negatively impacting the brown trout population by hampering insect feed growth. Another reason may be spawning behavior," stated Birdsey. "We are recommending a flushing flow sometime during the spring of 2007. This flow would need to be at least 300 cfs to get the rocks rolling to remove the algae."
Members of the lands council asked Birdsey if fishing pressure could be reducing the numbers and he stated that fishing pressure typically does not contribute to the lower numbers. He also said they encountered very few cutthroat trout during the samplings.
Cody Allred from PacifiCorp added to the presentation. "Electric Lake's storage capacity is 31,000 acre feet. In January of 2003, the lake was at its all time lowest level since it began filling in 1974. With the reduced flows since 2002, the level of the lake has been on an upward trend. Without a doubt, Electric Lake would have been dry for six months in 2004 without the varied stream flows. Without the James Canyon pumps, the estimates are that Electric Lake would have been dry for a total of 25 months since 2003."
Reg Soepnel, manager of the Hunter and Huntington Canyon power plants, said, "This has been a cooperative project that needs to keep going. We need to continue monitoring the fishery."

Jumping to conclusions on the NHL lockout with Tom Smykowski
November 12 2012 09:51AM
With complicated CBA negotiations, you have to use your mind.
The CBA negotiations are ongoing. They're tedious. They're confusing. Gary Bettman and Donald Fehr have proven that as long as they're leading negotiations, the tires of progress are going to continue to spin in the snow. They need a push, they need solid conclusions, and for that a mediator has been brought on board. His name is Tom Smykowski, he's known for his people skills, and he has a brilliant idea:
Despite the pessimism of Samir and Michael, Tom has been asked to take this idea and apply it to the NHL lockout, similar to what he did for the Canucks last season.
Here is what he's come up with. Click through to JUMP!
Tom has come up with a million dollar idea here. I think this is going to work out much better than his last job and I'm feeling much more positive about the whole negotiation now. I mean, just look at how Tom turned out:
Oh...Well, uh, I guess it was worth a shot?

Report: Toronto Maple Leafs in on Jonathan Bernier
Cam Charron
June 21 2013 03:11PM
There are now three separate media outlets and humans reporting that the Toronto Maple Leafs have more than a casual interest in the Los Angeles Kings' backup goaltender Jonathan Bernier.
Bernier is the same age as James Reimer, as half as much NHL experience and not as high of a save percentage in that brief span. If the Maple Leafs were to be making a deal for Bernier, they would be paying purely for potential because there just isn't enough evidence on the surface showing that Bernier has what it takes to be a capable starter in the NHL.
In 2008, the season that Bernier first played NHL games, the Kings had seven goaltenders, including four that were 25 or younger. Erik Ersberg and Danny Taylor were pruned, and left Jonathan Quick the starter's job as he outplayed Bernier over the next two seasons.
Pierre LeBrun on Leafs Lunch today suggested that goaltending coach Bill Ranford was very high on Bernier, but you can't think that L.A. is that into him. They signed Jonathan Quick to a ten-year, big money deal that all but sealed Bernier's fate as somebody the Kings didn't think could be part of a 1A-1B combination, or one that they weren't willing to commit to.
This is what makes the Leafs desired marriage with Bernier dicey. James Reimer is, by any objective standard as to what they've currently accomplished, the better goaltender. There is, though, a reason to be wary of Bernier for more than the cost of trading for him. You still have to re-sign him to a contract for which there aren't many comparables. Not a lot of goaltenders who could be No. 1s are signed when they aren't No. 1s. Perhaps Semyon Varlamov, who signed a three-year, $2.8M deal after being traded from Washington to Colorado. Anders Lindback signed a two-year, $1.8M deal being transferred from Nashville to Tampa Bay.
Bernier probably fancies himself closer to Varlamov, and while I don't discourage Bernier looking for a team to cash in with, is this where the Leafs need to spend their money? The goaltending UFA market is pretty dry, but good goaltenders tend to pop out of the woodwork because they're pretty replaceable. The difference between an elite goaltender is about 0.44 goals per game. It takes about 12 starts for a replacement goaltender to cost a team a win compared to the greatest goaltender in the world.
And that's when dealing with wide gaps. When you look into the value of somebody like Bernier (career save rate .912) versus somebody in the Leafs' organization like Drew MacIntyre or Ben Scrivens, or a UFA like Jason LaBarbera or Brian Boucher. You don't need an all-world, all-potential goaltender to come in and steal games and playoff series'.
It would obviously be nice to have 1A and 1B goaltenders, but for the cost of acquiring a goalie as quality as Reimer, the Leafs may be better off cutting the work at the margins, getting a veteran backup you know can perform better than Scrivens and slap him with 30 starts. Goaltending is witchcraft, and you can sort goaltenders into "guys who will probably do well" and "guys who probably won't". You know where Reimer sits, but not sure about Bernier who, again, has 54 career starts in seven years since being drafted.
Maybe Bernier is a good goaltender. Certainly, if the LA Kings suddenly folded, there was a dispersal draft and the Leafs ended up with Bernier on a good contract, it's silly to think that the team wouldn't be better off with some Reimer health insurance.
LeBrun did mention that Dean Lombardi promised Bernier in his exit meeting that Bernier wouldn't have to come back to the Kings. Perhaps if the Leafs were able to sign him to an offer sheet worth between $1.68M and $3.36M, that would cost the team just a second round pick, and Lombardi would be in a tough spot matching the deal. If he matched, the Kings wouldn't be able to trade him for a year.
***Since I've got some questions on that, this does seem sort of unrealistic because the Kings may be wanting to move Bernier before the draft. Philadelphia apparently want him real badly, and it wouldn't be good for Dave Nonis to try and out-bid Paul Holmgren on a goaltender. You can only start signing offer sheets on July 5 the first day of free agency. But the Leafs' backup goaltender is a secondary need at this point and it can wait until the free agent period. If Bernier is available, I'd sign him to one. If not, I'd look at a veteran who just wants a place to play.
That said, if the Leafs want him to be a starter and Bernier will only play if he's a starter, that makes no sense. The Leafs have a guy who can capably start, and there's no objective evidence that exists that suggests Bernier would be better at this point. He may be, but there is a long list of teams who made huge deals for a big-name goaltender and it came back to bite them down the road.
June 21 2013, 06:39PM
This leafs organization is possibly run by a crackhead.
Out of all the positions, they decide that goaltending needs an upgrade. Wow.
I would argue that a goalie is the single most important position in hockey. 48% of games are decided by a single goal, so I would say the goaltending makes a difference in about every other game.
To me this move STINKS of Tim Leiweke.
I thought we were going after an experienced back up. Reims got more experience then Bernier.
Why trade for an unknown in Bernier.
I might just be scared of another Toskala move here.
It just makes no sense to go after him when there will be all kinds of good back ups available when UFA season opens.
I have read on several sites the kings would want our 1st and a prospect for him...that's crazy!!
Save the first and the prospect and go after a UFA.
Fan are over dramatic. Obviously, LA can't trade Bernier to the Kings.
Trading for Bernier to goaltend on the leafs is just as likely as the leafs trading Frattin + to the Kings for Bernier. Then trade Bernier + to the Oilers for the 7th pick. Getting the values correct is the sticking point.
I don't think we need bernier. How well does reimer need to play before everyone agrees he's our guy for the next 4-5 years? i'd get bernier if we can claim him off compensation for a 2nd rounder. LA wants to move this guy fast before they're put in that position. so if you can get him that way, all the power to you. The only way i'd acquire beriner through trade would be if we can take a center as well. Most likely kopitar as he doesn't fit with the man love that exists between carter n richards. Leafs would have to move some significant pieces to get him but comon how long are we gunna go penciling in "first line center" on our wish list until we grow a pair and go take one. LA needs to shred salary and would welcome low priced asset players like a frattin or gunnerson. Give up a scrivins and some first round picks from this year n next and maybe we can get a deal done.
Interesting Leafs have made a serious offer on Bernier? Could Leafs offered Kulemin for a 26 yr old heading into prime yrs might have been very appealing to LA. Leafs could have an interesting goalie combo in Bernier and Reimer. Sign Clarkson in July replacing Kuli and this could be a sign Leafs a seriously looking at being better then a mediocre team.

Show Your City: MCFC reach the peak to reveal the new home shirt by Aaron› 13 Jul 2012
Where better to unveil the new home shirt for the Premier League champions than at the highest point in the country? That's the thinking behind the latest winner for the Show Your City competition, a challenge from Umbro and Manchester City to the club's fans to come up with great ideas for their kit launches. Richard Jones of Manchester is the man behind this great idea, which saw him scale the 978 metres of Scafell Pike in the Lake District before revealing his new Manchester City 2012 home shirt. We've heard of football fans taking their passion to new heights, but this is just ridiculous!
In the video above, you can see Richard talking about his love for Manchester City before setting out on his trek to the top of Scafell, and some of the beautiful views that surround it. The shirt revealed in the video and the new Manchester City away shirt are both available to pre-order here on the Umbro website.

Just looking for somewhere to stay while I find work. Uncomfortable with sharing details openly so feel free to message for details of current situation
I'm a friendly, tidy, and respectful flatmate. I will begin studying at USC in February and hoping to find a relaxed place to stay with nice people.
I'm 22, employed and settled down with my partner. She's completing her last year in University and is living closer to uni due to her commitments which is why i need to find my own little space. I generally work all day including some weekends and use my space for relaxing. please give me a call Warm regards, Brandon Richards
I'm tidy, clean, respectful, & mature & needing something asap. Prefer my own bathroom. Cheers.
Chilled az , easy going believe in paying rent on tym , love conversing with new people an making new friends in a vibrant comfortable zone :) #UnHappy
Seeking a property with a main house and separate bungalow...I'm happy to rent the main house, you rent the bungalow cheaper (or I'm happy to rent a granny flat if it's big enough for 2 as I have a young child & super friendly cat). Honestly don't think I could share an actual living space, as I do phone counselling from home and need the quiet during my shifts - and I wouldn't expect people to feel like they had to tippie toe around during those times. So separate roof situation is ideal. But I love the idea of sharing an outdoor permaculture-based edible garden, a communal art space, having the occasional cuppa tea in the backyard or an outdoor bbq under the stars with our home grown goodies - and possibly a free-form music jam if you sing or have instruments you like to play! Not a big drinker or party person, I so prefer a chilled person/people with a live-and-let-live attitude and you'll get the same respect back. Hobbies are hiking, beach days, exotic foods, Qi Gong, playing singing bowl, creating sand mandalas and other artworks. Needs: A separate phone line as I work from home as a phone counsellor through a professional call centre. Prefers non-smokers, no dogs as the cat and kid are scared of them at this stage (shame as I LOVE dogs). Moving to QLD in winter months, it was going to be March, but work's holding me back a few months more :)

My cat is also extremely well behaved and fully house trained. I'm a bit of a clean freak but that doesn't mean my potential flatmate has to be.

Hi everyone! We are two friends who are mature, clean, and respectful of other housemates and are looking at sharing a place with people who are like-minded. We're both studying at the moment. We also have a small kelpie pup named Loki who is quite well-behaved for his age, but is still in the midst of being trained aswell (can be stubborn sometimes), so we would need to move into a place where pets are allowed.
Hey future flat mate! so this is a bit of a long shot but i'm looking for someone a little like me, someone apart of my crowd; My name is grace and I study the Supernatural and work with Reiki, Energy healing, Aura studies. I can see the Supernatural so i would love to find someone else that i can really get along with, or at least someone who is open minded enough to enjoy my company. i have millions of incredible stories to tell, things that have happened to me in my spiritual journey and i promise you most of it isn't rainbows and unicorns. Oh and i should probably mention that i currently have a couple of Mexican walking fish that i'm trying to breed so you could have first dibs! haha anyway back to the basics, i'm super easy to get along with, super fun and will even be your 3:00am taxi if you find yourself drunk and stranded :D I'm also fairly clean and tidy :) I can't wait to meet you!

I am currently living in share accommodation but unfortunately the owners have decided to remodel the place so I find myself in need of alternative accommodation. I have pretty much everything needed to furnish a unit but if the house / room is furnished that's cool, I can store what ever is not needed. Basically, I'm a nerd at heart and love building things like custom computers, furniture, and anything else that people want built. So if your interested in considering me as a potential house mate or someone who you would like to partner up and look for a place feel free to contact me for a chat or to arrange a meeting to see if I tick all the boxes. Thanks for taking the time to read and consider me and I look forward to hearing from you. Sam

Modern Pentathlon
First Olympic Appearance: 1912 (men); 2000 (women)
by Mike Morrison and Mark Zurlo
The modern pentathlon comprises five individual sports—shooting, fencing, swimming, horse show jumping, and running. Sounds like a pretty weird combination, huh?
As the story goes, a young French officer in Napoleon's army was sent on an unfamiliar horse to deliver a message into hostile territory. He was first greeted by an enemy soldier with his sword drawn. The two dueled. The French officer won the duel and continued on his horse until it was shot out from under him. He fired a shot with his pistol and killed the enemy but his horse didn't make it. He swam across a river and ran the rest of the way to deliver his message. When he arrived, his commanding officer greeted him with, "What took you?"
The modern pentathlon used to be drawn out over anywhere from four to six days. Beginning with the Atlanta games in 1996, it had been condensed into one furious day of competition in the following order:
London 2012 marks the 100th anniversary of the modern pentathlon at the Games. The men's and women's contests will take place Aug. 11th and 12th, respectively. Competition starts with fencing in the Copper Box followed by a 200m swim in the Aquatics Centre. The athletes then leave the Olympic Park and head to Greenwich Park for a show jumping course. The fifth and final event of the day is the combined event, in which competitors complete a 3km run with shooting intervals in which they must hit five targets. The top three racers across the finish line will be the medalists.

That's great! I'm happy that this may all soon be over for you guys...
OOOoooooo. I didn't know a manual was in the deal! Time to check e-mail.
Humm, not really what I expected, it pretty much looks like what the DIY guys are making. I'm not saying that is a bad thing, just not what I expected. I would suggest you start with a new sear.
I'd sure like to see the hAir trigger design.
It's hugely different. The sear extender allows for the actuator to be mounted low, under the MSV-1. Since the MSV-1 is mounted so high up behind the trigger, the pull is lighter and shorter than any home made mod could ever be. The lower actuation point also allows the ram to be driven by less pressure but maintain the capability of high rof.Originally Posted by luke
The trigger looks way nicer than any AGD compatible stuff too. It definitely looks like it was worth it to dish out the money rather than doing it yourself. No offense to the DIY'ers, but this looks way better than anything you could just whip up with a dremel.

[/QUOTE] No offense to the DIY'ers, but this looks way better than anything you could just whip up with a dremel.[/QUOTE]
I dont think thats any better than a dremel job.. All this was done with a dremel and a drill..
And won MOTM...
And it's a great looking gun. But performance wise, I think the G-Force frames will supersede DIY jobs. Like I stated above, the way he placed the actuator and MSV-1 really makes a difference. Think about it from an engineering standpoint. The MSV-1 is at the complete top of the trigger where force can be applied to it with the most leverage by the trigger. This means a lighter and shorter pull. The actuator applies force to the bottom of the already extended sear arm. This means less force is needed from the actuator and therefore less gas is needed to power it.
It's more efficient than a DIY frame, and has a better trigger pull.
Now I'm not saying the DIY jobs suck. I've seen the vids, they're awesome. And much cheaper too. But this is a production product that has been meticulously engineered (to the point of making us wait way too long for our frames lol). It's obviously going to perform better. Your guys' frames are still unique and cool though.
Love my DIY job.
This may just change how we do them. And it is toatally DIY able. And it's not like hes making any more......
Lol you guys are so defensive. I'm sure someone could replicate it and do it themselves. I'm just saying that we paid money to have it super engineered lol. The actuator is custom built and yadda yadda yadda. We'll see though. I have a feeling the pull is going to be a lot different from that of a DIY frame. Hopefully someone who bought it will have shot a DIY framed Mag. Then we can get an honest comparison.
I'll let you know.
I hope it is better......
Your statements on placement of parts don't change my original comments. This is not that big of a step above the DIY frames IMHO.
It is a very small step to machine a few parts that will allow guys to use off the shelf parts to bolt into say an Inteilframe to achieve the ground breaking design that we have here. (No dremel required.) Perhaps I was expecting too much, but what ever the case I would love to see how Deadlywind and PTP designed their frames, but we all know that's unlikely.
I don't want to start a fight here, I hope everyone gets what they feel they paid for. My comments were never intended to dis G-Force. It was just a simple observation of his design. I think it's great that a production frame was made available, even though it will be short lived with one production run.
Actually, I wasn't expecting much more than that.
Though I see why he withheld photos for as long as he did. Just didn't think of doing it that way.
I will have both a very professional DIY pnueframe ( not sure who made it, bought it on here from billybones...looks like pneumagger or MANN's work, extreamly well built, no hack job) and the G-force frame...I will post vids/comparasions/review ect....Originally Posted by warbeak2099
And my DIY frame has the MSV-1 very high, as high as you could place it without relocating the articulator, the level on it is so short it just barely extends past the body of the MSV-1...so it will make a nice comparsion....and yes I will be selling in once I get my G-force frame..no need for 2 of them!

Wait... You have it in your hands? When did this happen?Originally Posted by insixdays777
haha...wishful thinking I suppose....
he said will have...
guess I read it a little to fast
Understood. The fact remains that it is different that anything done before. That's what we paid for and that's what we hopefully will be getting. The point is that it isn't a DIY frame, it's a production frame with a different twist.Originally Posted by luke
Hmm, good to see a manual. Here's hoping you guys get the actual frames soon.
Does it have Cyber's magnet mod? I'd be very interested to see a comparison. From the sound of it, the mag mod has done wonders for diy pneumags. Unfortunately it wasn't available when I ordered the G-Force frame. (I don't think)Originally Posted by insixdays777
Hopefully we can get a few reviews and comparisons of DIY vs. G-Force. Either way, $200 for a production pneu-frame is a good deal (assuming that we get more than a manual )
No my DYI does not have the mag mod nor can it take it...the MPV-! lever arm is too short for the install.Originally Posted by TwilightG
The G-Force frame can't take the magnet mod although it would be that much cooler if it could. It doesn't use a lever on the MSV-1. The top of the trigger directly hits the MSV-1 piston.
That looks pretty sweet.. I'd like to get my hands on one of those actuators... And the 25-30 psi working range is just incredible...
It also looks to be the exact same prototype frame we saw last year.
Check the pics from the PDF and the beginning of the dealer's thread. I personally see what look to be a lot of the same mill marks.
Also, if you'll recall, one of the holdup excuses was that they were going to drill a hole in the back of the frame to manually actuate the sear so you could pop the on/off to take out the valve. I don't see a hole, which means that either this isn't a production frame, or that partiular excuse was 100% bogus.
This does not at all even begin to prove to me that there are 100 or even 10 of these frames ready for delivery.
I'll believe it when I see photos of more than one frame. I still hope this turns out good for everyone. I still think there will be a lot of angry customers.
The simple addition of a trigger spring is a huge difference between these frames and most DIY frames. That alone will make them function a lot better.
It does not need a magnet mod.
springs wear/break. magnets dont.Originally Posted by drg
While the design does look to have some positive attributes I curious as to seeing it in action. I know my pneu or epneu can preform. I also know that my lpr can regulate my 1200 psi from my tank. This looks very similar to what has been designed before. (going to look for pic)
I still wonder about the patent. this looks similar.
I had another one that was different (basicly an upside down version of this), but cant seem to find it. I believe its on my wifes computer.
You can't beat the snappiness of a magnetic return though, an adjustable magnetic trigger is even nicer.Originally Posted by drg
I'm personally a little worried about the sear arm extender.
While I think it is a neat idea to extend the arm.
It seems to be the one weak link. Just a few dabs of epoxy are supposed to hold the key feature together for thousands of cycles?
I hope Garf did some thorough testing. Lets hope he used this extra 7 months wisely.
I feel like it would have probably been cheaper and easier and possibly more reliable to have just made a new sear with a longer arm.
