Last week, Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Quarterly published an article by David Suarez, PhD. titled, Street Credentials and Management Backgrounds:Careers of Nonprofit Executives in an Evolving Sector, in which Dr. Suarez identifies four types of nonprofit executives categorized based on management skills and nonprofit experience.
The nonprofit sector contains many executives who are oriented toward mission-driven nonprofit work, but only half have a management background.
Suarez finds that in nonprofit organizations, it is more common for executives to have nonprofit experience, while management experience remains relatively uncommon. After considering this finding and examining Suarez's four types of nonprofit executives, one cannot help but wonder: are we hiring the right people? If we're not hiring skilled managers and we've obtained a reputation of inefficiency, perhaps a solution lies simply in hiring more well-versed managers.
I'll go over my take on Suarez's four type of executives briefly below, but for much more information and to read about his other findings, check out the article.
The Nonprofit "Lifer" (high nonprofit, low management) – Suarez calls these folks stereotypical nonprofit leaders. They are drawn to a social problem(s), but are more interested in direct work with the organization's clients than organizational management. With their mental divide between the nonprofit sector and other sectors, I'd guess these leaders might lean toward a more conservative view of sector evolution than the Substantive Expert.
The Substantive Expert (low nonprofit, low management)– These leaders are less concerned with their sector of employment, and are specialists in specific disciplinary areas. Despite having minimal management backgrounds, they usually have significant academic credentials. We see these kinds of executives frequently in museums and similar institutions. (As a surprising side, much of the art world was upset recently when MOCA appointed a Social Entrepreneur as Museum Director instead of a traditional Substantive Expert)
The Social Entrepreneur (high nonprofit, high management)– This person is not to be confused with the definition of the rare social entrepreneur made popular by Martin and Osberg. In fact, this type of executive is nearly as common in the nonprofit sector as the Nonprofit Lifer. These folks, however, have more of an interest in the organization's plans for scale, replication, and sustainability than Nonprofit Lifers- according to Suarez. They are high on nonprofit experience, ascribe to a nonprofit ethic, and have management training.
The Professional Administrator (low nonprofit, high management)– Like the Substantive Expert, the Professional Administrator is not married to the concept of working in a nonprofit environment. These folks have management experience, but do not have a particular draw toward the nonprofit sector over the for-profit sector– or are at least more flexible in their sector of employment than other types of executives.
I believe that we should continue to aim to hire Social Entrepreneurs. They are, after all, skilled managers with an orientation toward social missions. The problem, perhaps, may lie in how we are employing executives that fall in the other three categories. Though it may not make sense to deny Nonprofit Lifers the "hands-on" jobs that they desire, hiring managers should consider that sometimes the right kind of employee is more dependent on the position than on the candidate's sector of preference.
For instance, we often hire Substantive Experts (low nonprofit, low management) to take on heavy nonprofit management jobs without question. Or we hire a right-brained drama-aficionado to manage the budget for a nonprofit theater without considering a more suitable candidate for this left-brained task. For some reason, we let the bond of a shared desire for social good fuzzy up our judgement.
After all, who wants to say 'no' to a job candidate who desires to make a difference? I don't think we always have to. But I do think that if we want the sector to evolve, we must hire folks that can help our organizations grow.
Another possible solution for nonprofits? Invest in more professional development and create managerial opportunities for current employees so that even Nonprofit Lifers who are comfortable with the sector feel the need to push the boundaries of sector constraints and encourage organizational growth.

"Ruffin Collar Lights"
If you pay more than .99 cents for a package of 2, you paid too much for what you get.
"Okay for the price"
I have bought several of these to use on the leashes and collars of my dogs. When they work, they work well. However, they are not sturdy or at all durable. The wires are flimsy and it is impossible to replace the battery without breaking the wire connection and thereby breaking the light. And it's cheaper to buy a new pack than a battery anyway. I have received some packets that have not worked, but JeffersPet.com replaced them. Until I find something more durable, and equally inexpensive, I will continue to use
"Best In Class, Not Perfect"
I take my dogs to an urban forest as often as possible. I have tried numerous gadgets to increase their visibility, and this is the best I have found, yet is imperfect. The flashing light is wonderful when it works, though one on both side of the dog is required to be visible most of the time. The downside, I bought 3 packs, for a total of 6 units. Two fell off quickly, and one stopped working. I was not sure how to apply to the collar, there is a lot of velcro wrapped around the small light. My guess now is to not touch the velcro and slide it as is over the collar. The light itself is attached by two very thin wires to an apparently non replaceable battery. It can take time to turn on and off. I have tried the hanging flashlights and many other things, this is the best yet. I will buy extras.

A bit of philosophy
Paul Baer, whose influential book "Dead Heat: Global Justice and Global Warming" (with co-author Tom Athanasiou) discussed ethical issues in how one should allocate global warming permits across the world, discussed some interesting new twists to their work. The principal objection to the idea that everyone has the right to emit an equal portion of GHGs, is that today's mean value is below that of China's per capita emissions, and thus a straightforward cap and trade at that level is politically impossible. The new twist in his work relates to the need to balance the current emission problem with the right of poor countries to develop that "should not be impeded by the requirement to reduce GHG emissions, and that the presumably steep burden of mitigation costs must be shared on the basis of responsibility and capacity". This of course, shifts more of the burden onto the developed countries who have already benefited from their use of fossil fuels. It will be interesting to see how that is received at the climate negotiations.
Finally, there was one idea that was raised that we take issue with, and which we think worth commenting on because it comes up frequently. For lack of a better name, we'll call it the Easterbrook Fallacy, after Gregg Easterbrook, the author of the book A Moment on the Earth: The coming age of environmental optimism. In that book, Easterbrook makes the repeated claim that environmentalists are off the mark in their warnings to society, because things are actually getting better. For example, he notes that the Clean Air Act has substantially improved air quality in the United States, and somehow turns this into an argument that we needn't be concerned about clean air. He completely ignores the obvious fact the Clean Air Act exists only due to such concerns being expressed by scientists and other that Easterbrook dismisses as "pessimists".* In a similar vein, one of the commentators at the conference made the argument that it was an open question whether we had any moral obligation towards future generations for our impact on the climate, since that impact could in principle be averted (for example through carbon dioxide removal via ocean iron fertilization). This is equivalent to saying that we will not have to address the issue of climate change if we address it, an argument that has no bearing whatsoever on whether we have a moral obligation. We were a bit surprised to hear it from a philosopher since it is a tautology (usually anathema to philosophers).
*Note that Easterbrook now says that the science is in and he takes "global warming" seriously. That doesn't change the logical fallacy in his earlier arguments.

"I absolutely LOVED these invitations! I was so impressed with the quality of the paper and image color/clarity. They were so simple but as they say, "less is more!" These were so PERFECT for my baby's Western Themed Birthday Party. This was my first time ordering from Tiny Pints and I will definitely be a returning customer!"
"We put a basic picture of our daughter on the front and chose to put one photo of her dressed as superman and flying through the air (in her daddy's hands) on the back. We got a lot of praise from our friends and family about how cute the card was. Now the pressure is on to put on a great superhero party!"
"These were great for our sons' first birthday, especially since we did a circus theme. The only thing was, is that they were a little small. i guess I wish I would've wanted them a little bit bigger. Other than that, they were great."
"I had a circus for my son's 4th birthday...the invite was perfect. It also helped me to pick the colors for the party. I have recomended Tiny Prints to several friends, two that I know have already ordered!"
"This illustration of a circus tent is so creative. Themed birthday parties never go out of style, and this would be a great way to invite all your child's friends to your own circus!"

As I said they still being developed when thay are done I will be posting full size printable templates that will include all the details that you will need to create a set of gauntlets from scratch. For an example, down load the PDF attachment of the Sling gun in the first post of this thread to get a feel of what I am planning to do with the gauntlet drawings.
I won't be posting any dimensions until I have completely mocked up the gauntlets so as to ensure that they are correct. So I am afraid that you will need to wait until I am satisfied that they are ready for posting or you can buy a kit for $200 there are a number of excellent craftsman on this board that put out quality work.
I have created a number of Fett templates and most of the scratch built equipment that you will see here on the board is a result of those templates.
P.S. One more thing to consider I post all of my templates for free.

Hello. I did introduce myself months ago, but I went and moved house and lost the link to here.
Anyway, after researching different materials since March I have finally wittled things down to the neoprene that is most common, and a shimmery kind of polyester that has enough stretch to do the job and is almost the correct color.
For all of you that have worn it, what are the advantages of neoprene? Would polyester even be worth considering? Argh!

In 2011, Kick It Out, in conjunction with Ivor and David Baddiel, Fahrenheit Films and Maccabi GB, launched a short film called The Y Word, aimed at addressing anti-Semitic and anti-Jewish abuse within a football context.
To date, the film has been viewed more than 100,000 times on YouTube and the video can be viewed at the top of this page.
David Baddiel said: "The film is not intended to censor football fans. It's simply to raise awareness that the Y-word is - and has been for many, many years - a race hate word. It's our belief that some football fans may not even realise this, and the film is designed therefore to inform and raise debate."
Arsenal Football Club recently received Kick It Out's Advanced Level of the Equality Standard Award, which will be formally presented to the Club at the home game against Blackburn Rovers on February 4.
Arsenal became the first football club to receive the award after providing detailed evidence on what it is doing to promote diversity and equality. It includes work in the community, engagement with fans and the development of Club policies and processes to create equal opportunities for all, which is under the umbrella of 'Arsenal for Everyone.'
The standard supports the development of equality and diversity practice at professional clubs in the UK.
Working under the Arsenal for Everyone initiative, Arsenal in the Community has worked on a number of interfaith programmes for many years in Islington and beyond.
These projects promote goodwill and understanding between young people of different faiths and no faith at all.
In addition, the Club also coordinates the annual World On Our Doorstep project, which celebrates the diverse make up of the Arsenal first-team squad and the parallels between the multicultural borough in which the Club is rooted.
In Arsenal's time at Highbury, the Club developed a meaningful partnership with the Maimonides Foundation which promotes Jewish-Muslim interfaith relations. Since the move to Emirates Stadium, the Community Department has delivered Religious Education workshops in more than 100 local schools as well as hosting inter-faith days for faith schools from across London.
Over the last two years, the Club has worked with the Anne Frank Trust, which uses the power of Anne Frank's life and diary to challenge prejudice and reduce hatred, encouraging people to embrace positive attitudes, responsibility and respect for others.
The Club supports their work with local schools, helping young people deliver projects that aim to end discrimination in their own schools and communities.
Away from London, the Club has delivered a project called 'Arsenal in the Galilee' since the late 1990s, which brings together Jewish and Muslim children through football in Israel.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Check out the underside of the hood on the Subaru XV:
Yeah, it's one of those boring dealership videos so just skip to 0:44. Normally the underside of a body panel would match the color of the car but without the clear coat. I, personally never seen anything like this before. It looks like the hood was fully closed during painting. So then I skipped over to the part when the guy opens the doors to see if the door jams were fully painted or not. But the jams are fully painted.
I don't know but maybe the painting process at the factory is different with that funky orange? Or the hood was damaged during shipping and a quickie paint job was done at the port?

In 1923 the Indiana University Extension at Fort Wayne offered a lecture series that began with a Boy Scout leadership course. In 1924 the program was expanded to include topics such as "Training for Parent-Teacher Leadership," "Basketball coaching," "English characteristics." Among the most popular of the series were "Life views of great men of letters," "Great philosophies and religion," and "Significant development in recent times." Thus was one of the main features of a regional campus born, a focus on adult and continuing education.

Everything about this shirt is awesome. Great detail work for a gag that has me laughing again and again.
Congrats Robbie!
What a thick cloud.
And yay.
Congrats! Fun scene, full of flinging ; )
Thank the 12!
The editors came through!
Love this shirt, and I think my boyfriend will be getting a great birthday present. lol
Reminds me of Percy Jackson and the Olympians!!!
Dude, is Poseidon using a manta ray as a shield!? Not cool!
HADOUKEN!! *throws octopus*
Can I be assured that no animals were harmed during the making of this shirt?
hehehe "kerplunk". Yes, I'm easily amused.
Love the battle scene and the floaty lightning bolts, heck with the laws of physics.
Hooray for Greek Gods!
I knew I would end up buying this shirt after seeing it in the derby. There is just something so appealing about sea animals being hurled into the sky as artillery!!
I would actually really like to see a Street Fighter style video game where the characters were all Greek Gods.
Ahh, the Woot gods bless us today.
In for 1. Congrats Robbie!
This shirt's pretty awesome, but it makes no sense. No way would Poseidon last that long. Zeus has lightning bolts and Poseidon is in an ocean of salt water. Electric beats water every time.
So glad this printed--awesome work Robbie!
Throwing an octopus? This just proves Raj's point that Aquaman sucks!
Love it, been a looooong time since I saw a shirt worth buying on woot, was worried this place had lost that special charm.
Excellent design mate, the absurdity of the floating lightning bolts and hurling sea critters, wonderful
That octopus looks like he's having a really bad day.
"it's descent", seriously?
There are not enough words to describe the awesome. So happy to see this one print, Robbie!

Aaw, poor Poseidon. He's like the Aquaman of the pantheon. I guess that makes Zeus Captain Marvel?
p.s. I adore this shirt.
This is pretty awesome, but it almost seems like they should have added Hades and made it a three-way battle.
I love that Poseidon got his trident stuck, so now he has to result to throwing sea creatures! :D
Lots of great detail on this shirt.. down to poseidon's pit hair! Eeek!
This is such a silly, silly concept - I can't stop myself going back to it again and again, giggling like a fool each time. How very convenient that my son has finished reading the Percy Jackson series and is subsequently very into Greek mythology! +1
Where did the smell of calamari come from? Ika (squid) doesn't smell, taste or even look anything like tako (octopus)
In for 1, as promised in the derby thread.
Onerous Massive Family Gathering, awesome design. I would be all over this one... if the shirt wasn't light blue

I have "waiting for the sub" in this color. The chicks dig it.
Thanks for the pick, woot! And colossal thanks to all those that clamored for this to print.
And may the gods bless J5 for suggesting I put this design on light blue.
If anyone orders an WL (or bigger) please report back on the spacing. I'm definitely in if the actual print has Poseidon & Zeus in "opposite corners", like it reads in the derby entry.

Not to mention "all of the sudden."

That's exactly what I said when I saw this shirt.
I think my favorite part is the look on the Octopus' face, but this is overall just great. I think it would look great on silver as well, but so relieved it's not on creme-that color is pretty hard to wear.

Good in the right useage
By Trixie
from Rocky Mountain House, Alberta
Best Uses
The heat is great...unfortunatly if you think you are going to walk using this item you will be very dissappointed. The heat element is right down the middle of the foot and leaves the sides out there to hang...which makes it very uncomfortable, especially if your going to walk. I think that if your going to carry it into where it will be useful and insert it when needed it will do the job.. or if you are sitting imobile it will be very useful. Otherwise, if you think your going to walk any distance, it is a waste of money even if its on sale.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

2. I'll be happy to let you come over and bee-line YELLOW JACKETS!!!!! I watched a few fly away from a honeycomb but they were too fast. How does the chalk work?
A local organic gardening radio show recommends dumping several bags of ice on the entrance at dusk, once all the 'jackets have gone inside. The cold will prevent their attacking you. "Then cover the hole and the area around it with a heavy tarp weighted down with bricks, a piece of sheet metal, a big wooden board or other heavy object. Then cover that with soil or wood chips. Or cover the hole with a thick piece of clear plastic, seal the edges tight to the ground, and the nest will cook in the sun once the ice melts. Be sure and pick a cool night when these dangerous wasps will be unable to respond quickly—and 'bee(Grrrr...! my comment) careful'!"
I like the fire too :evil:Johnny
Once the nest is found in the ground try putting a thick piece of clear plastic at night over the entire area, then the entrance can be fogged with an aeresol with injector (straw) tip...JP

Kingdom Remixes MNDR and Teams Up With Electrik Red's Naomi Allen? Pearl Clutch!
Last month, the homegirl MNDR dropped onto the raddest radio show in the game, Belly of the Beast (Thursdays 8pm ET), on East Village Radio. She hinted that her single, Cut Me Out, was officially remixed by an NYC radass, and here we present you with the full on facts. It's Kingdom. And it's ah so ah good. Also... news of his new single today makes me swoon like a sweltering beast. Holy!
Kingdom, a [dance] producer renowned for his devotion to R&B, has teamed up with Naomi Allen for his next single. Allen makes up one quarter of Electrik Red, the criminally underrated US girl group whose debut album, 2009′s Dream-governed How to Be a Lady, Vol. 1, represents one of the great modern R&B full-lengths. Her and Kingdom's collaboration is titled Take Me, and is due for release on Fool's Gold, this coming Tuesday, July 26. On the B-side, you'll find If You Buck, a "dreamlike crunk instrumental" built around harps and finger snaps. (via)
You can stream Take Me here or grab the MNDR mix at this link.
So much ear love right now.

I've seen quite a few posts on cooking Mergansers on this forum, so I figured I'd chip in with my technique for making a razorbill edible. I try to never shoot them, but the other day I got one by accident. (Last 5 minutes of shooting light, 3 ducks coming into the dekes head on, dark head, light body, orange feet, BOOM oh crap that wasn't a mallard!
Anyway, after gutting (this will smell terrible, honestly smells like gutting a fish) the key is to completely skin the body, I didn't even bother to pluck mine. Then clean off all of the fat, and any sinew, etc. because that's where all of the fishy taste comes from. I then breasted it out and took off the legs, you can bone the legs if you like but I kept mine whole. The boned meat shouldn't smell like fish at all, in fact it smells just like any other duck, maybe depending on what your merg has been eating. Then I made a simple brine with salt and red wine vinegar, you want to let the duck soak in the brine for at least 24 hours, but not more than that or it will start to pickle and will become tough. Take the duck out of the brine, wash it off, and then soak in buttermilk for at least 48 hours. Then it's ready to cook, I sauteed the breasts whole and then cut them into strips. Tastes really similar to venison, just remember to treat it like beef and you should be OK. Prepared this way it would also be good in a stirfry, satay sauce, curry, etc. Just don't do it too often because mergs can collect mercury due to their fishy diet, but if you're like me and can't bear to waste meat then this will get you an edible razorbill!

I must sell one of these revolvers: S&W model 60 or Ruger Gp 100. What do you think?
+1 VAMarine
Keep them both. Cut back on other stuff, but don't sell the guns! :smt023
I agree with NOT selling any guns....but if you have too. Do you carry either of them? If not, which one is more enjoyable to shoot at the range?
Preferences can change between generations. There are a lot of us older guy's that like the S&W revolvers but we may be dying out. Given equal condition of the two, you can probably maximize your sale price by selling the 60.
The GP100 will do anything you need done and last for 2 or 3 lifetimes.
I'd sell the GP
Sell the Smith. You will probably get more for it. and I would not bet that it is any better than the Ruger.
GP100 is a better gun IMHO. I am not a big wheel gun guy but I liked the GP well enough to buy one and keep it. In fact it is the only revolver that I have bought that I have kept longer than 6 months.

Buzz words seep into slogans, politics and professionseven into photo and restoration labs. "Sepia toning" is one such term, which you may have heard at a photo lab or store where you have your photographic copies made. Don't let the lingo fool youthe difference between true sepia toning and its knockoffs can make family photos last or deteriorate more quickly.
Sepia toning is a chemical printing process that converts silver into a more durable compound, which helps to improve the stability of the image. Sepia-toned prints also are more stable because the print-maker must remove all residual chemicals (which contribute to deterioration) from the photo. If there's any trace of harmful chemicals left in a print when it's being toned, it will show an obvious stain. A sepia-toned print of good quality is obviously free of any harmful chemicals and is as stable as a print can be.
But don't be fooled by photos that only appear to be sepia toned. Do you have any old family photographs that are brown in color? Have you been told (or do you believe) that these brownish prints have been sepia toned? While this may be true, it's more likely you're seeing a key sign of deterioration.
When 19th-century photographs deteriorate, in most cases they turn different shades of brown. So how can you tell whether the photograph of your great-grandfather is deteriorating or is in fact sepia toned? A sepia-toned printif properly doneshould retain most of its original qualities for about 100 years. If your photograph is losing some fine detail (especially in the lighter areas), you can be sure you are seeing deterioration and not sepia toning.
Don't confuse the brown prints you get from one-hour photo labs with true sepia toning. Labs create these sepia knockoffs by using printing filters and colored paper. The final product, unlike chemically sepia-toned photos, is very unstable. Prints made on colored paper will last only 50 years before they start to deteriorate. If you aren't storing these prints properly (including the brown prints from one-hour labs), they could start deteriorating in as little as 10 to 15 yearsquite the opposite of what sepia toning does for prints. You're doing more harm than good in the life of your photograph by requesting this service when it is not chemically sepia toned.
How did your ancestors' photos come to be sepia-toned in the first place? In the mid-1800s, photographers were testing and experimenting with several different types of toners to change the color of final prints, because many photos were turning out reddish or reddish-purplenot very pleasing to consumers. The objective was to improve the aesthetics of the photograph, not its preservation.
Today, we know and understand more about photographic preservation than ever before. Toners can be used for both aesthetics and preservation. Although we no longer have the fine-quality black-and-white printing papers of 50 years ago, we can enhance the look and life of the photograph with sepia toningif it's done right.

text: On Thanksgiving, one holiday celebration turned really violent. Mallory Owens (left) was eating dinner with her girlfriend (right) and her girlfriend's family and got into a fight with her girlfriend's brother. Mallory was severely beaten. She looked way worse than Gabriel Aubry. Mallory's mother says it was a hate crime because her daughter is gay. Mallory's girlfriend said it wasn't and defended her brother. Now, Mallory, who checked herself out of the hospital also says it was not a hate crime and that it was a family disagreement. Travis Hawkins was charged with second degree assault, but not a hate crime, but Alabama does not have sexual orientation as a basis for a hate crime charge anyway. So, where is Mallory? Back home with her girlfriend and girlfriend's brother. Cra-zy.

looking good!
looking sweet j5!
Nice set of chest armour you have there! However, I think the black misting is a little thick in some places.
Thanks guys! I'm really happy with the way this turned out. I think my suit is going to look pretty good once it's done. I don't have an airbrush so I have to do everything with brushes and spray cans. It's a combo of layered and topical painting.
That's a fantastic job without airbrush jawafive! Great work.
I love the colors, the shoulder bells look great as well. Did you use the colors from the RS list?
Yowzers! Nice job! I could use some serious pointers!
Thanks again for the compliments!
The only 'real' color is the yellow zinch chromate. The green is just Hunt Club Green from Lowes. I used a Krylon Matte spray on it before I did the back mysting.
What did you use for the bells?
nice job Matt!!!!
Thanks Ben!
I used krylon farm implement yellow I believe. I'll have to go home (next week) and find out for sure but I'm almost positive that's what it was.

I am the proud owner of a set of MOW's ESB gauntlets. I did a pretty detailed build thread over the course of about a year. They are now sitting proudly on my wearable display costume.
That's DarkSide's machined aluminum and brass rocket and a scratch built flamethrower featuring a few of MOW's resin ESB flamethrower parts, aluminum and brass tubing, a couple dart bodies, etc. I reinforced the clamshells with 2-4 layers of fiberglass. I think they look fantastic!
It weighs 2 1/2 pounds.
This is the right gauntlet. Aside from accurate alco-switches and Mojo's darts, it's all stock MOW gauntlet parts. Again, the clamshells were reinforced with 2-4 layers of fiberglass.
They weigh almost 2 pounds.
They look awesome on my display, but they're kinda beefy in a couple different ways:
First, the original costume gauntlets are very form-fitting around the forearms. My MOW gauntlets are much thicker. The second and more obvious issue is the 4 1/2 pounds of weight on my forearms and wrists.
So over the last couple months, I have been gathering the parts I think I need for a lighter and more form-fitting set of 'trooping' gauntlets.
I'm going with redkraytdragon's IOA gauntlet clamshells, and some of his resin-cast gauntlet parts.
RKD's gauntlet set is geared towards a ROTJ/SE set of gauntlets, so they will need some modification. I will need to chop up the resin whipcord launcher. I did pick up some Mojo darts on the cheap a while back, and a set of alco-switchs on the not-so-cheap. Yeah, they're technically the wrong ones but they'll look good enough for the 501st, I think. The rest of this is very useable as is.
The biggest technical challenge of this conversion will be the flamethrower. I will be making it out of mostly styrene rod, tube, and sheets along with a couple scratch built resin parts and brass rod reinforcement.

Teaching Philosophy: At its core, teaching is a partnership (it's just you and me). I have a passion for storytelling - whether it's on the stage or on the screen, and my favorite thing to do is to talk about the infinite varieties of story. As a teacher I consider it my calling to open doors, not to close them. I try to listen, not only to you and what you want to accomplish and why you're writing and what you want the audience to understand, but also to what the play/screenplay itself wants to do, say, accomplish. Sometimes we writers are not sure what we're writing about or even why we're writing it; we're simply trying to get something out onto the page so we can understand it and then shape it in a meaningful way. And sometimes our intellects get in the way of our instincts - especially in the first drafts. I try to listen to the play's instincts most of all - sometimes they are smarter than we are. And I ask a lot of questions. Answers are not so helpful in the long run - they're an easy fix, but questions are helpful. Questions open doors to solutions. Finally, I want you to come away knowing your strengths and weaknesses so you can continue to grow in the "real" world. Therefore, I revere so-called "failure." It's where we learn the most, and it sets us on a path toward success. I hate to mention the dreaded word "process," but writing is one, and once we understand this, we retain power over our writing. And we should all be so very powerful.Awards: Elliot Norton Award 2012 for Sustained Excellence, Heideman Award, IRNE award (twice), Dramatists' Guild Commendation, Milan Stitt Award for Outstanding Teacher of Playwriting, Leonides A.

If there are barrel makers out there, why can't one press out the barel pin, remove the barrel, remove the pinned on gas block, then have a barrel turned on a lathe to the right diameter, drill a hole for the gas block and then press on a 260 Remington (6.5mm bullet) barrel or a .243 (.243 dia bullet) onto the Saiga? The bolt would be the same, and the magazine would hold the same as well, especially the .260 Remington as I have some of the empies and they fit perfectly in the magazine.
Looks like a nice change of calibers to somehting less recoil, faster and with the 260 Remington further shooting with better bullet BC.

Eat out to benefit Get Smart Hudson
By APRIL GUILMET
Union Leader Correspondent | October 25. 2013 9:37PM
From now through Nov. 3, the "Get Smart Hudson" fundraiser, sponsored by CCS New England and the two Nashua UNO restaurants, will give restaurant guests the chance to sponsor their schools.
"We are excited and proud to support such a great opportunity for Hudson schools," said Rene LaChapelle, general manager of the Daniel Webster Highway UNO restaurant.
"I feel very strongly about our role in supporting the community and in particular the schools," Lavery said. "I know how much time and effort parents and teachers put into the education of our kids."
When the program concludes, the schools will receive their checks at a celebration party, at which time the winner of the SMART Board will be revealed.
Alvirne High School, Hudson Memorial School, H.O. Smith School and Hills Garrison, Nottingham West and Library Street elementary schools are all participating in the program.

At the same time, I can get on him, I can constructively criticize him, he can on me as well, it's a two way street as well as with Marcus, there's always that open door for communication and I think that's the most important thing."'

The 155 gr is dead on at 25 yards and group well in my P94 so thats what I use. The heavier bullets tend to open up.
I load 165 and 180 grain FMJ and JHP rounds for competition and practice but use Winchester Ranger 155 Gr. JHP's when carrying.
I don't want to be hit by any of them. If not for the litigation potential I would load some 165 Gr. Zero JHP's for carry purposes. I do have some loaded hot for carry in the woods where I expect any shots required to be a bit beyond 15 yards.
They all seem to hit within an acceptable zone at 15 yards. Typicaly POA to 2" above POA bullet/powder charge dependant.
my cz 40B sure likes the 175 and 180 gr bullets the best.
155gr Winchester Rangers here!
Any more opinions on fourty cal weights?
155 hornady tap and also black hills hp.
I get the best groups with 165's So when it comes to my 40's that's what I put in em.
WWB Self defence load 180 grain:smt1099
124 for 9mm
230 for 45acp
so i'd go with a 180 grain
230 for .45acp
165 for .40 cal.s&w
147 for 9mm
all federal hst ammo, i believe the 165 in .40cal has great penetration.:watching:it didnt show a 40cal,but here is a pic of a federal hst 147gr 9mm covering a nickle
I use Winchester white box 165g for target, and Fed Premium Tactical 180g for defense.
edited to fix WWB. Sorry, wrong caliber:p
I'm new to it all but I bought remington 165 hollow points.
165 JHP or FMJ.
In my Sig P226 & G22, Federal Hydra's or personal defence 180gr
I have had best results at the range with 165gr, but for home defense I currently have 180gr hollow-points.
155 for summer
180 in the winter

couple more comments from the owners
Chevy VOLT #1398
His impressions: "Extremely Solid Car. Has a low center of gravity and really hugs the road. It also gets up to speed quickly. I would say it's a 4 door sports car. While running on electric power, it was completely silent. After an imperceptible switch to Hybrid, the car was still extremely quiet."

You can't make this stuff up. Well, maybe you can, but we didn't. Our Twitter followers have already learned that strange things started happening to the Cars.com Chevrolet Volt last Thursday night.
Around 9 p.m., I got an email alert from the ChargePoint network that our car had experienced a ground fault and the session had been terminated. (Senior editor David Thomas wisely chose to leave our Volt in our downtown parking structure, plugged in, during last week's big Chicago blizzard, and it remained there without incident.)
Monitoring the online ChargePoint portal from home, I hoped the charging station would reset, something it attempts to do a total of four times every 15 minutes. That's when I received an e-mail from our pal Todd Dore, treasurer of the Fox Valley Electric Auto Association, who parks and charges his converted Volkswagen Beetle right next to our Volt. He said that at 6:30 when he left work, we'd had a "furry visitor," a brown rat who scurried under our Volt, probably seeking warmth. The temperatures had been below 10 degrees.
Uh oh.
Rodents are known to climb into the engine compartments of conventional cars when it's frigid outside, so it made sense. The Volt maintains a minimum battery temperature when it's plugged in, even once fully charged. I named the rat "Chilly" and joked that maybe he was a saboteur....
When I arrived Friday morning, I returned the power connector to the charging station, which reset it, then reattached it to the Volt, which began charging again. No problem. But when I departed Friday night, I got warning lights: ABS, "Service Brake Assist" and "Service Stabilitrak." I drove it home anyway, hoping to get it serviced. The next day, I noticed the bottom rear window pane wasn't defogging, though the main window was.
This morning, Grossinger City Chevy of Chicago confirmed that Chilly the rat had indeed gnawed through a wiring harness in the engine compartment, causing, at minimum, the warning lights and rear defogger failure.
This won't be covered under warranty. It was, in the truest sense, an act of nature.
Chilly could learn a thing or two from the beaver in Bridgestone's Super Bowl commercial. That little guy prevented a Buick from plunging into a raging river. Chilly warmed his rodent ass, ate a snack and cost us about $600. An attempt to repair the harness should save us "thousands," according to the dealer, but the labor involved in extricating the harness from behind the headlight is extensive. Is Chilly a prankster? A disgruntled former bond-holder in "old GM?" Did Nissan send him?
There's good news and bad: The good news is our Volt, on its own merits, has been trouble-free for more than a month and 3,000 miles. The bad news is this could happen again. Presumably, an electric car with a thermally managed battery will be a tempting nest long after an internal-combustion engine has cooled off. If anyone has a home remedy for deterring pests, we're all ears. We'll be asking the same of Chevy, for sure

Another look at the Volt trunk space
article excerpt
Due to popular request, Ive decided to put together a series of articles that officially reviews the 2011 Chevrolet Volt from an Owners perspective. Is this review series impartial? No not really since I did buy the 10th Chevy Volt and love it. But what youll find in this review series that you wont find in any other popular magazine articles is the perspective of one of the first Chevy Volt owners and a breakdown of all the things I like and all the things that annoy (no car is perfect and the Volt is no exception.)
If you have any special requests or questions that you want answered from the perspective of an owner let me know and Ill include a section on it.
The Chevy Volt comes in a very useful hatchback form, but make no mistake it is still a compact car. Along with the trunk space, you can fold down one or two of the 40/40 split rear seats, which gives you enough room to move your daily life around. To give you some perspective I live with my significant other but have no children. So typically there are one or two passengers in the vehicle.
Groceries are no problem in the trunk space as it is perfectly sized for a single layer of stand up paper bags. The trunk is more than copious for this task and you wont need any of the seat space unless you have something particularly large. Loading and unloading is also straightforward and easy as the hatch easily lifts and lowers and is well sprung such that a light upward force opens the hatch and closing the hatch is done easily and securely with a little downward momentum.
I also Fence Epee 2-3 days a week and as such need to be able to transport a roughly 4 foot long bag on a frequent basis. In this case, I do need to fold down one of the 40/40 rear seats to lay the bag lengthwise (it does not fit widthwise in the trunk). While the bag fits, its not terrible convenient to get the bag in and out as the trunk does not open flush to the outside of the car, requires me to lift the roughly 30-40 pound bag into the car. This is made more difficult by the size of the bag as I have to lean quite far over to load the car.
While a flat trunk space would make things much easier, I suspect that would not make for good design or vehicle dynamics as the lack of a load bearing frame in the back would likely reduce the stiffness of the chassis significantly. To that end, Id prefer to deal with loading and unloading and keeping the ride of the car as it is today.
Thinking about moving a table or furniture? Rent or borrow a truck or van. Its not really worth trying to cram it in the back of the Volt or messing up the roof strapping it to the top (the roof isnt really that flat anyways).
Bottom line, The Volt is a great everyday car especially for a young couple (or empty nester), but for the every-other day task make sure you have alternatives for moving and carrying your stuff.

No pics, but I have driven the Volt.
And thought it was fantastic.
Damn volt has a high belt line
Would make me feel claustrophobic

don't most new cars these days have high belt lines? (and I agree with you that I'm not a real fan of the high beltline movement in design)
But which cars DON'T have high belt lines these days?
I mean it's not like you are down in a bucket in a Volt
Jeffrey Kaffee became the first customer in the country to take delivery of the Chevrolet Volt on December 15.
This is such a significant step forward, Kaffee said. This is the first practical electric driving car.
The 69-year-old retired airline pilot was so dedicated to owning an electric car, he actually ordered both the Volt and the Nissan LEAF; it was just a matter of which car came to New Jersey first.
The first thing you notice is that theres no noise, Kaffee said. When you press the button, its like turning on a light. Kaffee said General Motors actually added sound effects for safety.
The next things he noticed were that theres no lag time in acceleration and theres very good torque. Its a very comfortable, smooth ride, he said.
Kaffee has liked the idea of using less gas for years; he traded in his 2005 Toyota Prius for the Volt

Upon time of delivery, Frank Calciano was a bit on the disabled side, but eager to check his new car out.
The display was also on the disabled side. It funtioned, but half the screen wasn't quite right.
Replaced under warranty
Mr. Calciano likes the layout of the dash and interior.... even stows the crutches to his right with plenty of ease. You can see the dash display isn't quite up to par in this picture. Didn't seem to bother me driving it though. It was readily apparent what was happening, whether the battery was providing power or the regenerative brakes were feeding power back into the system's juice storage.
A small number of screen displays (either the front screen or the middle dash screen) had problems and were replaced in various cars as reported earlier)

seems to be a trend here
The car was not fully charged when we picked it up, and we had a 35-mile drive home, so the range extender came on about half way home.I traded in my BMW X-5 SUV, which says a lot about GM.
It sounds as though it's a very nice car to drive, regardless of the electric power or the gas that isn't used
I purchased the Volt even though I wanted to lease it, because the dealership did not have its leasing arrangements lined up yet. It has the premium trim package, which includes leather appointed seats, heated front seats, leather wrapped steering wheel, 17 forged polished alloy wheels, front and rear sensors, and a rear camera. It is silver ice metallic with a black interior and ceramic white instrument panel. It is a joy to drive. It is very responsive, has great visibility, and handles like a tight European car, which is what I am used to. I have yet to figure out all the instrumentation, but I plan to do that this weekend. I recently upgraded my phone to a Motorola Android and installed the OnStar app, but I need to contact my Volt advisor before I can get a User ID and Password.
Jeff Parmet starts his Volt inside on a cold day using an application on his mobile phone.

Free charge at Walmart..... till they decide to charge for it

more on the charging station at Walmart in Easton, Ohio
July 14, 2011
Drivers of plug-in electric cars now can get a free charge at the Walmart store at Easton, where the retailer has installed its first public charging station.
The station, unveiled yesterday, is part of a partnership with Columbus-based American Electric Power.
It arrives at a time when few local drivers have vehicles to charge. Plug-in models such as the Chevrolet Volt and Nissan Leaf are not yet on sale locally.
"It's really a good first step," said David Ozment, director of energy for Wal-Mart Stores, speaking at a news conference in the store's parking lot.
The only Volt driver in the region might be Greg Kuss, CEO of Solar Vision in Westerville, who bought his model this year from a dealer in Michigan.
Because he might be the only immediate beneficiary of the charging station, he was on hand to demonstrate how it works. He inserted the oversize black plug into the port on the driver's side of the car.
The only other plug-in models in the region might be the 10 or so owned by AEP for testing purposes.
AEP is trying to be ready to deal with the electricity demand for plug-in cars when they arrive, and this initiative is part of that, said Robert Powers, president of AEP's regional utilities.
The utility is making the electricity at the Walmart charging station available for free, as a "loss leader" that will help the company gather data about customers' charging habits.
"It's the right thing to do," he said.
But the free power will not go on forever. The station is equipped to switch to a fee-based system if AEP decides to do so.
Under normal rates, $1 worth of electricity is roughly equivalent to a gallon of gasoline, Powers said.
The Volt, a gas-electric hybrid, has an electric range of 35miles. A full charge takes about four hours at the charging station. A shorter charge might provide enough power to pay for the trip to the store for someone who lives nearby.
This is the region's first charging station that is open to the public, although several other stations are in place. For example, Ohio State University installed a station outside its Center for Automotive Research.
The Walmart station consists of two pedestal-style units made by Ecotality, an Arizona-based company that uses the Blink brand name for charging stations.
"This is an ideal location ... right off the freeway, well-lit," said Steve Schey of Ecotality.

obinCostco, the membership warehouse-club chain, is getting rid of its electric vehicle chargers in its parking lots because it says customers aren't using them.
The chain was an early leader in offering electric-vehicle charging to customers, setting an example followed by other retailers, including Best Buy and Walgreen.
By 2006, Costco had installed 90 chargers at 64 stores, mostly in California but also some in Arizona, New York and Georgia.
Charge no more: An E.V. charging station at Costco store in Rohnert Park in California
Even after General Motors crushed its EV1 battery cars, the Costco chargers stayed in place.
Yet just as plug-in cars like the Nissan Leaf and Chevrolet Volt enter the market, Costco is taking its chargers out of the ground.
Dennis Hoover, the general manager for Costco in northern California, said: 'We were early supporters of electric cars, going back as far as 15 years.
'But nobody ever uses them. At our Folsom store, the manager said he hadnt seen anybody using the E.V. charging in a full year.
'At our store in Vacaville, where we had six chargers, one person plugged in once a week.'
Mr Hoover added that E.V. charging was 'very inefficient and not productive' for the retailer.
He said: 'The bottom line is that there are a lot of other ways to be green.
'We have five million members in the region, and just a handful of people are using these devices.'
Plug In America, the California-based E.V. advocacy group, contends that the stations do get used, and is campaigning to save them, the New York Times reports.
The group asserts that some of the units have been delivering free electricity to loyal E.V. owners for a decade or more, and that people regularly plug in.
Sign of the times: Costco were frontrunners in offering customers with electric vehicles the chance to use the chargers, but now the company there is no demand
The group says that the Costco chargers are invaluable for owners of Toyotas older RAV4 electrics, many of which are still on the road in California.
But the actor Ed Begley Jr., a long-time environmentalist and RAV4 owner, said in an e-mail that some of the Costco chargers around Los Angeles stopped working years ago.
The Costco outlets are also outdated by current standards, but a state-supported programme stands ready to upgrade them at no cost to Costco.
That was one impetus for a $2.3 million programme supported by the California Energy Commission and overseen by the charging companies Clipper Creek and EV Connect, which would have 600 to 650 so-called legacy E.V. chargers upgraded.
According to Will Barrett, a Clipper Creek programme manager, 30 new chargers have been installed since the programme began in July.
Mr Barrett said that Costco decided not to participate in the state programme.
Mr Hoover said the company was aware of the state-funded upgrade programme, but did not see a compelling reason to take advantage of it.
'Why should we have anybody spend money on a programme that nobodys thought through?' he said.
'We know for a fact that many of the Costco chargers are used on a regular basis,' said Tom Saxton, a computer programmer from Washington State, who drives a RAV4 E.V. and serves on the board of Plug In America.
'And because thousands of new electric vehicles are hitting the road, the chargers are going to be even more in demand. And people are charging while they shop.'
Plug In America said that more than 900 people had sent e-mails to James D. Sinegal, the co-founder and chief executive of Costco, urging him to reconsider.
The group said it had worked to persuade at least one California store, located in Rohnert Park in Sonoma County, to keep its chargers.
But Mr Hoover said that the situation there had been 'reviewed.'
The bottom line: We will be taking them out there, too, he said.

Marc D. Froese (Canadian University College) has posted "Between Surveillance and Transparency: Trade Policy Review and North American Dispute Settlement at the WTO". Here's the abstract:
The Trade Policy Review Mechanism (TPRM) received much scholarly attention when it was first established in 1989, but has been overshadowed of late by dispute settlement processes. This paper examines the relationship between barriers to trade that are flagged by the World Trade Organization's TPRM and subsequent challenges brought to the Dispute Settlement Body. Placing the TPRM in correlation to dispute settlement raises a question with significant policy implications: can Trade Policy Reviews be used to predict trade challenges? Such an undertaking requires an analysis of the chronologies of the trade policy review process and of the dispute settlement system. Using an empirical method for cross-referencing issues flagged by the TPRM and challenges brought to the Dispute Settlement Mechanism, the paper seeks to assess the efficacy of Trade Policy Reviews for predicting the future of trade litigation between Canada, the United States and Mexico.

Lots of comments from when these were offered in January
I love Woot, but these headphones really suck, and aren't worth $5 plus the cost of shipping.
Amazon was neutral with 3 stars (gold/white)
roxannez wrote:I love Woot, but these headphones really suck, and aren't worth $5 plus the cost of shipping.
Can you help other wooters with some more details? Fit? Sound? What problems did you have?
Maybe not if you buy one pair, but if you toss them into a cart with a bunch of other stuff, it becomes a better deal.
I bought a set of these last time they were offered. I got them because I have really small ears, and the hard earbuds are WAY too big for my ears. I loved that they have 3 sizes of the silicone buds. The sound is great for what I use these for, which is for when I am mowing the yard, working out, etc. The only complaint that I might have is that they are angled, I suppose to direct the sound into the ear better. The microphone is on the Right bud. Since I do not use these on my phone, just on my iPod, its no big deal to me. But I am left-handed and if I were going to be using the microphone, it would be awkward for me. Does it make it a deal breaker for me, nope, but I thought some might want to know.
ThunderThighs wrote:Can you help other wooters with some more details? Fit? Sound? What problems did you have?
I agree these are worthless. they lasted maybe a month for me, with normal use, first to stop working normally is mic then the headphones. i got mine from dailysteals...
I thought it was a sign that the day after i wash/dry/melt my current cheapo ear buds in the laundry, woot offers me another pair of cheapo ear buds. Then I read the title and realized since i have a penis, I cannot purchase these. Also the reviews are terrible.
Better luck next time.
I got these at Christmas as stocking stuffers and a pair for myself. I like the angle, they don't fall out of my ear and if you have one ear canal that's bigger or smaller than the other, you can fit them both. They are comfortable, the sound is fine for inexpensive ear buds. I like the mic I use it when I'm around the house. I like that the cord feels sturdier than other pairs of cheap ear buds I have, it's flexible and has almost a cloth feel to the covering. I haven't had any problem with these and I am not careful with them. Plus they are so cheap, I'm about to pick up extras "just in case."
I'm very hard on earbuds but I found that putting a small bit of electrical tape right above the plug really extends the life of these. The pair I'm currently using is still going strong after two months. My ears are very small and other earbuds would make my ears hurt.
I picked up three of these on a previous woot offering. As far as I can tell, the mic does not work on any of them. Sadness. The mic was the motivating factor for the purchase.
I bought two pairs of these last time... have used daily since for my phone [work] use. They are just fine. Comfortable for me but not sure I would suggest they have any noise isolating ability. Reports back from the other end of calls is they are fine.
And the fit is good...the angled portion seems to help. Easily worth the price
Bought 3 sets the last time they were up on Woot. My husband has VERY sensitive ears and can not stand to have anything in them. These have worked well for him-the angle helps the bud to stay in so he is not poking at them all the time. Also, the different sizes work well as he can change them if he is having a bad ear day. They work well with his iPhone, answering calls, adjusting volume etc. I also like them and have had no problem. I like the fabric cord. We both feel the sound is excellent.
Yay! They're BACK! I love these earphones! They fit my small, shell-like, yet quietly powerful ear, and they sound great! Thank you
I completely agree. I'd buy them if the total cost wasn't going to be about $10. What happened to the headphones for 0.99 each???

I shouldera said, I am brutal on earphones. The cords catch on the knobs of my kitchen cabinets constantly, my cassette player (archaic sound transmission technology used in the Late Crustation Period) get's dropped and, tho I'm not sure how, my 2g 2gen iPod (see 'archaic' above) often gets flung across the room when the cords catch on invisible things. Oh, and I have a cat that unaccountably loves to chew on cords. If you're using them to listen to the rehearsal tapes of the symphony you conduct, you may not like them.
If you are an Amazon Prime user, you'll find better prices over there (unless you are filling your Woot cart). The white/gold model is $7.99 and the white/silver model is $8.99.
I was excited to see these, I have always had problems with earbuds falling out of my teenie ear holes! I need headphones at my job, otherwise I cannot concentrate at all on my work with everyone standing outside my cubicle, blabbing about one thing or another x.o;
Plus, then I can listen to as much music, podcasts and audiobooks as I want!
I will report back on how long these last, I bought two pair, and there was only one color left!
I also bought a car charger and a wooden tray, so it's well worth the shipping cost for me!
I loved these but they didn't last long. After about a month the headphone wire right above the jack gave out taking one earphone with it. Bummer.
My only complaint about the ones I bought in January's woot-off (for $3 more, I might add): I have to pay attention when putting them on to make sure I'm sticking them in the correct ears. Other than that, these have worked well for the past 5 months.
One caveat: I use them exclusively at my office, so while they get a lot of regular use, it's all 'inactive' use - I don't get much exercise riding a desk since it's the polar opposite of manual labor. So, there's that, for whatever its worth.
My wife has these, and she doesn't like the sound quality or the fit.
She's not picky either, she was happy with a very old pair of Sony buds until they broke.
I purchased 2 of these from another site and both broke within a month. With each, the ear bud outer casing split apart from nothing more than carrying them in my pocket. Sorry to say but they are absolute junk!
I purchased two of these. Each stopped working on one side within a couple weeks. Do not buy unless you like wasting money.
Ordered these; they fit great, but broke in less than a week. Only one side was producing sound; then the other side went dead a few days later.
These could be the greatest earbuds ever, but I will never buy another Altec Lansing product ever again.
Good luck ever getting a hold of anyone in their customer service department, if there's anyone in their customer service department, if you have an issue with your product.
I bought a speaker dock from here back in July, and after a short period of non-use the speaker became very crackly and unlistenable, and now the thing doesn't work at all. I emailed Altec Lansing three months ago when the crackle started and haven't heard a single word back save an email saying "It's been a week since you submitted your request, we apologize for the delay in getting back to you"
So, buy the earbuds if you want, but if they break you might as well just throw them away cause that's the amount of response you'll get from their "customer service" department.
Just arrived. I was clearly not paying attention as I did not realize these were "designed for women" as the packaging clearly states. Oh well, at least the silver ones are moderately gender neutral without the packaging. Seem to fit & sound OK on a quick trial. Like the fabric cords for less tangle.
I bought these for my daughter. I ordered the Mint Green (which was all that was listed) and we got the gold looking ones.
