text: I have a PT22 in black pearl that I love to shoot. It is the little tip up barrel .22. Unfortunately, after about 10 rounds I have to stop shooting and push the trigger pin back through the frame. This is annoying and if I forget, of course the whole trigger assembly comes loose. What is the most effective way to secure this little pin? I have considered thread lock, epoxy, or flattening the ends of the pin with a punch (but I am afraid I will break it). any ideas? Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. This is a minor engineering flaw in what I find to be an otherwise enjoyable little pistol to shoot.

From "It's a Wonderful Life" to the latest version of "A Christmas Carol," there have been a sleigh-full of notable holiday movies over the years. Here's a look at some of them, starting with the Jimmy Stewart-Donna Reed classic from 1946. [ + - ]
1940: "The Shop Around the Corner," which was remade in 1998 as the Tom Hanks-Meg Ryan movie "You've Got Mail," features James Stewart and Margaret Sullavan as two employees at a gift shop who can barely stand one another, but end up falling in love with each other through the mail as each other's anonymous pen pal. [ + - ]
1942: "Holiday Inn" is perhaps best known as the source for Irving Berlin's song "White Christmas," which won an Oscar for Best Original Song. Set at an inn which is only open on holidays, it features Bing Crosby's crooner and Fred Astaire's hoofer vying for the affections of a beautiful up-and-coming performer. [ + - ]
1945: In "Christmas in Connecticut," Barbara Stanwyck stars as a food writer who has lied about being the perfect housewife must try to cover her deception when her boss and a returning war hero invite themselves to her home for a traditional family Christmas. [ + - ]
1947: Natalie Wood and Edmund Gwenn in the classic "Miracle on 34th Street," in which a department store Santa Claus who claims he's the real Kris Kringle is put on trial. [ + - ]
1947: In "The Bishop's Wife," Dudley the angel (Cary Grant) is sent to help a bishop (David Niven) and his wife (Loretta Young) survive their attempt to finance a new cathedral and the strain it's putting on their marriage. [ + - ]
1949: Janet Leigh stars as a war widow torn between her button-down fiance (Wendell Corey) and a free spirit (Robert Mitchum) in "Holiday Affair." [ + - ]
1951: Alistair Sim stars as Ebenezer Scrooge and Francis De Wolff stars as the Spirit of Christmas Present in "A Christmas Carol," one of the most popular screen versions of the Charles Dickens classic. [ + - ]
1954: The classic holiday musical "White Christmas," starring Rosemary Clooney, Danny Kaye, Bing Crosby and Vera-Ellen. [ + - ]
1955: "We're No Angels" sees three Devil's Island escapees, played by Humphrey Bogart, Aldo Ray and Peter Ustinov, hide out in the home of a kindly merchant during Christmas and repay his kindness by helping him and his family out of several crises. [ + - ]
1983: "A Christmas Story" stars Peter Billingsley as the kid desperate to convince his parents, teachers and Santa that a Red Ryder B.B. gun really is the perfect gift. [ + - ]
1984: While it's not a Christmas movie per se, "Gremlins" does start out with a Christmas present, a cute little mogwai named Gizmo, that goes horribly wrong. Soon little green monsters are tearing through the small town of Kingston Falls doing their best to wreck the holidays. [ + - ]
1988: Bill Murray stars in a modern take on the Charles Dickens' classic "A Christmas Carol" with "Scrooged." [ + - ]
1988: Nothing says "Merry Christmas" quite like Bruce Willis in "Die Hard." In the role that made him a movie star, Willis stars as NYPD office John McClane, who is called into action to save his wife and several others who are taken hostage by German terrorists during a Christmas party at a high-rise office building in Los Angeles. [ + - ]
1989: In "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation," the Griswold family's plans for a big family Christmas predictably turn into a big disaster. [ + - ]
1990: In "Home Alone," Macaulay Culkin stars as an 8-year-old boy who is accidentally left behind while his family flies to France for Christmas and has to defend his home against idiotic burglars. [ + - ]
1992: The Muppets make the most of their turn to tell the classic tale of an old and bitter miser's redemption on Christmas Eve in "The Muppet Christmas Carol." It also gets bonus points for tapping Michael Caine to play Scrooge. [ + - ]
1993: In the stop-motion animated "The Nightmare Before Christmas," Jack Skellington, king of Halloweentown, discovers Christmas Town, but doesn't quite understand the concept. [ + - ]
1994: Tim Allen stars as a regular guy who suddenly must assume duties of St. Nick in "The Santa Clause." [ + - ]
1994: If you're looking for a funny change of pace on Christmas, give "The Ref" a try. The comedy stars Denis Leary as a cat burglar forced to take a bickering couple (Kevin Spacey and Judy Davis) and their dysfunctional family hostage on Christmas Eve. [ + - ]
2003: "Elf" stars Will Ferrell as Buddy, a man raised as an elf at the North Pole who goes to New York City to meet his biological father, spreading Christmas cheer in a world of cynics as he goes. [ + - ]
2003: The British romantic-comedy "Love Actually" follows the lives of eight very different couples in dealing with their love lives in various loosely and interrelated tales all set during a frantic month before Christmas in London, England. Colin Firth, Liam Neeson, Hugh Grant and Keira Knightley highlight an ensemble cast of stars. [ + - ]
2003: Not exactly a family-friendly Christmas movie, "Bad Santa" casts Billy Bob Thornton as a miserable conman who joins with his partner to pose as Santa and his Little Helper to rob department stores on Christmas Eve. But they run into problems when the conman befriends a troubled kid, and the security boss discovers the plot. [ + - ]
2004: Tom Hanks stars in director Robert Zemeckis' motion-capture movie adaptation of the classic book "The Polar Express." [ + - ]
2009: Jim Carrey stars as Ebenezer Scrooge in director Robert Zemeckis return to the world of motion-capture animation for another version of "A Christmas Carol." [ + - ]

7:30 PM EST TV: FS Detroit / NBA league Pass Radio: 97.1 The Ticket
I think we can play against these guys..........
Matt Bonner by 6.
Im glad we didnt win and screw up our draft position any more than our recent mistaken winning streak has done. I was happy to see Big Ben get some burn and play the type of game up and down intense that will help BK and GM and JJ grow as players. I really dislike the fact that refs dictated the winner of a hard fought battle though. The bs calls flopper and the gang were getting were pretty severe and if I wasnt rooting for the stones to lose? I would be prepping bottle rockets to fire up some asses right about now. GM didnt really have it tonight, I can understand it really playing against the guy you set your game after has to be a little wierd. But hopefully he got the jitters out of his system and he will be in attack mode instead of awe mode next time.
Nice comeback by the Pistons, but not enough to take out the better team and coached Spurs. Ben Wallace attempted to rekindle the Spurs-Piston title days with 5 boards, 9 pts including a his 7th career three. His inspired play kept him in there all until the end as Monroe had a terrible time going up against Duncan The Hack-a-Ben may have slowed down the express of a possible win, but Ben hit half of his 8 FTA to keep the game close until the last 27 seconds.
Good call. It was anyone's game for the taking. The Spur just executed down the stretch. The Pistons did not.
This game was your run of the mill playoff team vs. lottery team game for the first two quarters and half of the third, then Ben Wallace hits a jumper, and then a three pointer to give his team some life and we had a game. Ben Wallace was vintage. His defense on Timmy was good, and his defense in turn picked up everyone else's. Hack a Ben? Really Pop? Stuck was good for the most part, and then came crunch time and he threw up some atrocious, no-chance-in-hell circus shots hoping for a bailout call that came once out of four times, overdribbled, and just generally morphed into the Rodney the Ballhog. He actually might have gotten away with that against some other, surely lottery bound team, but against the Spurs? Hell no. There was one sequence where Rodney got the ball from Brandon after a rebound and proceeded to drive the lane with count 'em, THREE black shirts hanging around the rim, two of them taller than 6'10 (the other was his defender who is 6'7 iirc). He got his "shot" swatted, but the Pistons were lucky to get the ball back for him to try a carbon copy of it a third time, resulting in a miss and a fast break chance for the Spurs off the rebound. That's not the way to win basketball games, I don't care who it's against. Brandon was okay. He was missing a ton early, but had his moments here and there. He did drive inside a few times when he saw an opportunity, mostly in transition. The two biggest highlights for him were a three-point play after a stop with 4 minutes left, the second a contested 3 with less than a minute to go. Had a nice block that was deemed a foul on Parker as well. Greg had an bad game. He couldn't get a handle on Timmy on defense and couldn't get his shot off properly on the other end. Credit the Spurs' defense, they locked in on him and kept him off balance the whole game - so much so he wasn't on the floor to end the game in a close one for the first time this season. Partly influenced by Big Ben's play, but it was just not his night. Tayshaun was playing like he had something to prove as one of two guys left on the roster from the 2005 team that SA beat in 7. He had the hot hand early, and he played well, I just wish his good play didn't come with him holding the ball for 15 seconds on nearly every possession at the end. Isotayshaun back with a vengeance. JJ played well. Energy and hustle, plus a nice three to stretch the lead a little bit in the fourth. BG was hitting his shots very well early, but that three out of the timeout was awful, especially as it was contested by a 6'11 Tim Duncan, and he compounded it by getting a tech with less than 24 seconds left in the game. They're not going to call a foul in that situation most of the time, more so if the so-called offender is a player of Duncan's caliber. Just terrible. Austin hit a shot and played well enough to not be a negative. Walker D. didn't play much, but he was more the facilitator again which is good. Max was ok, better than the Wiz game. Special mention to Manu Ginobili - youtube.com/watch?v=6eOmJF… This game I honestly expected to be a laugher for the Spurs, and it looked like it early. If it weren't for Big Ben getting the team and the crowd hyped up, it probably would've been just that. They competed well enough to hang around one of the NBA's premier teams for most of the game and had a chance to win it late, which is more than I expected, and in a season like this, I'm fine with just being competitive.
Yes, Alexa, Stuckey had a good game but couldn't finish it in crunch time. One of these days....??
If the Pistons had had three of their guys left over from 2005 title series, we may have won this close one down the stretch...instead it was Timmy, Genobli and Parker vs Ben and Tay.... The problem is the Pistons had three of theirs last season and still were 25+ games worse than the Spurs....must have been the coaching differential in addition to the weak bench...
That was a foul on Ben Gordon's 3-point attempt. Horrible refereeing in this game, especially in the 4th. Great comeback though. Nice showing by Big Ben in the game where he made history.
He'll stop being a "rookie"? People realize that outside of the free throw shooting, he's not a closer? Walter - yes, it was a foul. They were never going to call that though. Timmy fouled Greg numerous times and got away with it. Ben got away with a few and got hit with 2 straight bad ones. Ref Eric Lewis ftw! The Spurs have oscar nominees for the flop category in Parker and Ginobili.
I turned to the Wings game during halftime.....how did the Chi-lites do?
Decent writeup Alexa. But Gordon was absolutely fouled on a 3 - point attempt that most likely should have tied the game up in the last seconds. No call and they t'd him up too for complaining. Plus the refs robbed us a few times otherwise in the last few minutes of the game. We should have won this one.
They sounded pretty good in the few blips they played and got a strong review from George and Greg. They were almost as good as Vanilla Ice. Hearing Blaha say Flo Rida was the best. I've also got to imagine him reading the call for the new Fox Sports Girl has to be a career highlight also.
That was a tough loss. I'm still not sure if Gordon got fouled at the end. Stuckey played well, but this game showed his ceiling as a player as Alexa pointed out. His KFC Bucket Chart was really funny to see. Without a pull up jumper to compliment his drives he has to hope he can keep going to the well. I actually think Stuckey deserves credit for sparking the Pistons comeback prior to Wallace "going off" (he hit 2 shots). He hit 2-3 shots or so in a row to keep the Pistons from going down 20. Ben Gordon is one of the worst ball handlers I have ever seen. You could pull a drunk from the crowd who wouldn't dribble like that. I can't remember the last time I saw a slow white non-center/shooter miss 2 free throws like Matt Bonner did.
I enjoyed watching Rodney Stuckey last night. For a while there, he was driving, dishing, getting to the line.
Ginobli is the master of the flop, but that call down the stretch was the right call. Tayshaun just rammed right into Manu while Manu was just standing there, feet planted, body straight up, waiting for the collision.
Tay did foul Manu, but it wasn't a foul when Big Ben floored him on a screen in the previous posession. All in all, this was a good loss. We played head-to-head with a quality team that we have no business competing with and it was only because of the refs we lost the game in the end. In a lottery year such as this one, I'd consider that a good result.
We would have won that game if some second year guy by the name of Lin would have running the point instead of Stuckey..
I found this on Basketbawful...

text: I noticed when firing my Sig 220 the firing pin markings on the primers was hitting lower on the primer and skipping up and smacking the primer normally in the center. None of the rounds failed to fire so I am not too concerned just puzzled by the markings as it seemed to be on every single round fired that day (approx. 80.). Anyone who can shed a light on this or have a similar experience. I want to make sure this isn't a sign of a larger problem that may effect the pistol in the future.

Last year we had some days in Jan. that warmed up and we took a quick peek.
If you find the bees are not OK what are you going to do anyway? We are suppose to have a 40 degree day this weekend. Maybe I will take a peek just for the heck of it.

It was Nike pushing their Pro-Combat stuff for one game. Ugly as hell IMO, except for the helmet.
Isn't that going a little too far? One thing to have them where little Tostido chip emblems for the Fiesta bowl but changing entire uniforms to sell some shoes? How does that bode with the college athletic purists who do not believe the kids are entitled to anything beyond their scholarships.
I didn't like the helmet either.
I know...I didn't like any of that crap that MSU was wearing. Go back to your traditional unis...
I still contend that this poster is not a fan...not yet anyways. Michigan State last season Defeated Wisconsin on the field of battle, yet were denied their place at the Rose Bowl... Wisconsin went instead because voters forgot their moral compass and excluded MSU...It's still happening now. Instead of celebrating the victory of MSU...the national press is rather...exposing that UM isn't ready for dominance yet. Surly Spartans look bent on Big Ten contention - College Football - Rivals.com Anyways...there is a BIGGER game on this team's schedule and it is next week. Now tell me...do you think these players have forgotton about the shortcoming of last season. A true fan would not have forgotton the pain and suffering that this team endured by not getting the BCS nod..at least. Because of this...they were sent to a LOWER bowl game and subsequently...did not play with the intensity and heart that SHOULD have been there. I now ask that this fan redeem himself and declare this game...of the utmost importance. And that he cheer them on..."wether they win or lose"...and stay by their side...at least for the rest of the season. I'll be there with you.. I wonder if Sunday morning church is affecting the tone of my posts...
Denard didn't like them either. He had lots of trouble washing the colors out of his white jersey. You were probably having nightmares all evening about them too. You probably want MSU to go back to their old suckiness against U of M more than you want the old unis. ;) Honestly, I loved both the helmet and the uniforms. They look much tougher and the players loved them too. I didn't like my old Spartan jersey. It wasn't a really good one and was much heavier than the replicas from Nike or Reebok. I got rid of it last week. So I went to look at the jerseys and all they had left were mediums. Those were gone too a couple hours later. Probably a run on them after the game.
What??? That article was mainly about Sparty... not U of M. It's always gotta be about U of M isn't it? You guys crack me up. Sparty isn't worried about any of that. 2008-2011 Paul Bunyan.I don't care that Michigan had it from 1912-2007. Sparty doesn't care that you won every last game by the score of 87-17. One score matters. 28-14. Nobody cares that Michigan once co-owned the Big Ten with Ohio State. Congratulations. Impressive. [STRIKE]Wisconsin[/STRIKE] Sparty is on top now. As a TV analyst said: U of M may not take Sparty as seriously as OSU and Notre damebut they better start!!! MAYBE I need to start believing too. (I'm thrilled they beat their arch rivals for the 4th year in a row and as the game drew closer I didn't think they would. U of M looked like they had a pretty good squad...and I still think so. But Wisconsin scores 40-60 points a game. Even IF Sparty holds them to 28 they would need the offense to shine. Remote). If they win one of their next two I will wear that avatar as promised. If they win both I will buy a jersey. But party won the big one. I'm good until they play Boise state next year.
In rivals.com Michigan was listed as a loser, but Spartans were not listed as a winner...Sad that you're still on the fence as far as being a fan of the Spartans. the MAYBE in your last post says it all. You're not a fan cause you still picked Michigan to win........ You didn't give your team due diligence..... You didn't study the players and coaches..... You just went with Big Blue...Even referring to the Spartans as "little Brothers"... Shameful....Just Shameful.... I guess I'll just have to be a Spartans fan for the both of us.... Have you decided who is going to win next week yet...or shall I get you a fence to sit on...
Thank you for explaining that to me, fence sitter police. You'll be in a better mood after the game next year...MAYBE.
I'm in a good mood now... I don't mind the Wolverines losing... Their weaknesses were exposed by a very good Spartan team. Remember...The Spartans get one more win in the next two weeks... and I win the bet with you.......... I bet ON the Spartans........... You bet AGAINST them.........:(
The entrance into Spartan Stadium yesterday was awesome 10/15/2011 - Michigan State Pregame Entrance
I don't understand...Why was it awesome..? Now THIS ia AWESOME............... Michigan State Spartans | ESPN's 'College GameDay' coming to East Lansing | The Detroit News
Michigan is still recovering from the RichRod fiasco. We're respectable this year, but still have sub par athletes on defense that have clearly over achieving (mainly by causing turnovers). Most everybody beat Michigan for the past few years, so no big deal. I'm just happy we're on the rise and never had any illusions that this was going to be the year. Still, it was a competitive game that could have gone either way if the refs could see sidelines and hash marks.
Guess you'd have to be a Spartan to truly appreciate the entrance. Yeah, GameDay is coming...big deal. Howard, Corso & Herbstreit all picked UM yesterday. They'll be slobbering all over the Badgers in East Lansing this Saturday ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ
Thanks... I'm kinda used to guys running across the field and jumping up to touch a banner. I hope those guys at Gameday pay MSU more respect this time. I see State winning this one. Eventually...they're gonna have to pay attention to MSU...........
Nice post...I've been trying to put my finger on exactly where the Wolverines are as a team. When the media ranked them 13th...I'm glad the coach refused to accept that ranking for his team. I was also happy when he said the coach and players were outplayed...and outcoached for that game. I never thought we were really good. Now I worry about the rest of the Big Ten schedule. We'll have to see where the coach takes this team this season...and beyond.
Brady Hoke sems like a smart and humble man. He definitely has them going in the right direction. He's the perfect coach for them after Rodriguez. That game maybe brought U of M back down to Earth, and exposed some weaknesses, but I wouldn't be surprised if they went undefeated the rest of the way. Their schedule is pretty good. The team is spunky, has decent talent, and they have Denard. Regardless, they need to make sure they don't collapse after the MSU game like they have in the past. I don't think Hoke will let that happen. The MSU game was close, but the better team won. Who knows? That may change by the end of the year (although MSU retains bragging rights) The beat the snot out of Michigan in the trenches and wore them down. Michigan fought hard. The past U of M teams would have given up. I expect the MSU vs. U of M games to be very close and competitive for years to come. The U of m fans seem to expect the Wolverines to dominate MSU like they did in the old days. Sorry. Ain't happening. Times have changed. Now is the time to get ready for Wisconsin. They've scored a million points every single game this year.They are going to score quite a few on MSU, regardless of how well the defense plays. However, I do think MSU will slow them down a bit but the MSU offense needs a big game.
Interesting...the pollsters see Wisconsin as being ranked 4th, with both polls giving Wisconsin this lofty ranking. A lot of the BCS bowl ranking takes into consideration the polls. Interesting to see that Wisconsin is only ranked 6th in the BCS poll. The computer probably noticed what I see. They play MSU next week so you better not place them too high. Sparty wins Saturday and Darth goes Maize and Blue for the home crowd...
Dumb. Every year MSU football does something stupid. Every year before a big game. Idiots. It gets old. Michigan St DL Gholston suspended for Badgers game - College Football - Rivals.com

I thought id post this up if anyone was interested in using this method. Everyone that uses bolts does it a little different, so i just thought id post up how im doing it. Basically i dab a little hot glue on the head of the bolt for placement purposes.
I then position them accordingly. By doing it this way, when i add the PC-7 epoxy putty, i dont have to worry about the bolts shifting or tilting.
Then i add the PC-7 around the head of the bolt.
This has to cure for 24hrs beforei can do anything with it though but thats ok, tomorrow i will attach the armor!....ok! off to do the rest of the pieces!

Houston Texans running back Arian Foster re-aggravated a hamstring pull Sunday. There aren't any indictions it is serious, and Foster believes he could be ready after the Texans' Week 8 bye. The 27-year-old back was limited to just four carries for 11 yards against the Chiefs. Backup Ben Tate didn't offer much either, rushing for 50 yards on 15 carries as he continues to battle a rib injury.
Fantasy Analysis:
The guy to own here might be undrafted free agent rookie Cierre Wood. The former Notre Dame runner sealed the No. 3 RB job over the summer and has played very little since then. With Case Keenum starring at quarterback, Wood getting significant touches in the immediate short-term isn't out of the question. As for Foster and Tate, you'll have to monitor their statuses leading up to Week 9. Tate should be good-to-go and Foster might need some extra rest. We'll have to wait and see.

Arsenal Football Club is pleased to announce that Islington-born goalkeeper James Shea has signed a new contract with the Club.
Having excelled last season after becoming a mainstay in the triumphant FA Youth Cup and Premier Academy League 'double' wining-side, Shea (18) topped the 2008/09 campaign off with three second-string outings to his name before signing professional terms with the London club last summer.
Known for his superb shot-stopping ability, James also improved immeasurably in his kicking and handling last term and has continued his good form with consistent performances when selected in Neil Banfield's Reserves this season. James was also included in the squad for the Gunners' first Carling Cup fixture of this season against West Bromwich Albion in September.
Everyone at the Club is looking forward to James' continued contribution and development with Arsenal in the future.

|Engine & Transmission Swap The place to chat about any engine and transmission swap.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Any updates on this swap? :)
|The upper engine mount for the 2.5 in the escape has a 3 bolt attachment at the cyl. head instead of the 2 bolt on the 2.0. It looks like part of the third bolt will have to be removed to provide belt clearance for the P/S. The bosses are on the 2.5D head to mount the 2.0 P/S pump. I have not been able to accurately measure the difference in the height of the engine mount pad that is part of the head casting. The distance from the mounting pad to the top of the head (valve cover parting surface) seems to be greater on the 2.5l by maybe .5". I need to get those dimensions to see if I need to fab new mounting brackets.
|I'd use a 23 escape manifold, a mild set of cams. A taller deck height, like you said means spacers, maybe you could use a 23 mount w/ shorter spacers. Figure out if a 23 escape pcm would work= The 23 escape is the only 23 w/o imrc, but uses the imtv, which would be great to use. Using a 20 manifold on 25 You might not have an issue w/ the grunt, but I'd remove the imrc= tumble flaps. The 20 has only length of runners, wheres the 23 uses two lengths of runners= imtv. A pcm swap you'd need. I'd add a 2.5'' flex back system for sure. Have you checked out a 25 Mazda 3?
He is where I am on the 2.5d Installation
What I expect from this engine swap is a nice drivable engine package with a substantial improvement in HP and torque. This is a daily driver with SVT suspension and 17" in wheels. Its fun to drive as is but a little more scoot would be very nice. It is also getting much harder to find a low mileage 2.3d so the price of 2.5 shouldn't be much higher. Yes cost is a big issue on this update!
The issues with this installation appear to be as follows:
1) I plan using my existing MTX75 so the rear mounts should work as is. It may be worth while to put a lower poly mount in to help with engine roll but I will try the production mount first. The flywheel will be c/o 2.0l with an upgraded 2.3 clutch (I am pretty easy on clutches). The 2.5d front mount bracket is different but I should be able to use the 2.0d mount and a spacer to match the deck height change.
2) Some tape measurements of my wife's 2.5d Escape intake manifold indicates that manifold should package in the Focus but the TB is a drive by wire. I would have to use a cable operated TB and this might require an adapter.
3) The cam position sensor (CMP) in the 2.5d will not work with my processor. Since the engine seems to run fine without it I could leave it disconnected but would not have a MIL function. Someone had responded in a separate post that the later D engine CMP sensor provided four signals per RPM while the 2005 only provided one. If there were 4 slots or bumps on the intake cam to provide a signal could 3 of those be removed or filled in?
4) The current plan is to let the computer continue to think it is a 2.0d and compensate for air fuel ratio with a tune. This means that I would have to use the 2.0d crank sensor, throttle position sensor, and MAF and EGOs. The VVT control will be deactivated and simply not connected. I have to find out what the default position for the cams is with the VVT off. I may look it some way to mechanically lock them in a best compromise position. Using the c/o MAF will certainly affect the HP and torque but low and mid throttle performance should be pretty good. A MAF upgrade would be first on the plate for upgrades and it would possible to install the complete 2.5d intake setup from the Escape by putting the battery in the back but the electronics implications could be very significant.
5) The exhaust manifold looks like it would package without a problem but the pipe diameter is larger and would require an all new exhaust system. One of the aftermarket Focus systems (2 ¼ in) should work fine.
I have been using the Escape as a reference simply because of convenience. I do need to spend some time with a Fusion to see if those parts will work better. The Fusion engine is listed with about 4 additional HP.
Any feedback or suggestions would be much appreciated.

On most it wouldnt matter , even with a new flashed ECU I feel the engine would start with no cam sensor hooked up
I would like to see some guys with 2008 to 2011 try this
Add 2005 2.0d 50 state to the list.
I disconnected the CMP sensor and drove it about 25 miles-ran just fine (MIL light came on of course). When I got back I disconnected the battery, emptied "keep alive" and restarted the engine with no problems. There was no perceptible change in driving characteristics.

I have been asking around on this one and Tom appears to be correct about disconnecting the cam sensor once the computer has "registered" the location at initial start. Timing is done through the crank sensor.
What is not known is the result if the computer looses this registry. This can happen if the battery is disconnected for an extended period of time. The computer will go through an initial start process that sets the timing, injector settings etc. These settings go into a "keep alive" memory that the computer holds after the engine is shut down for the next start.
Village T
I am going to be off work for a couple days and I plan to test what happens after the "keep alive" memory is dumped.
I will make a list here of the cams sensors that can be unplugged on the Duratec engine and update it as people post
Duratec 2.0 2006 ( Euro )
Duratec 2.0 2005

The Economics Department offers courses for majors and minors in economics, courses supporting other majors and courses for general electives and liberal studies requirements. Accordingly, economics courses fall into four types: introductory, basic principles, intermediate theory and applied economics.
The department takes pride in its long-standing tradition of emphasizing the application of theory to relevant and current economic issues. It aims to provide students with a solid understanding of how economics sheds light on the way property rights, social institutions, and market and political processes affect real-world economic activity at all levels, from the local to the global. Although the subject matter can be challenging, many students who have never taken economics courses before are pleasantly surprised with both the power and the wide scope of economic analysis.
The department offers bachelor of arts and bachelor of science degrees in economics and secondary education economics, and minors in economics and economics education. In cooperation with other departments, the Economics Department offers a major in secondary education social studies.
Department programs are tailored to meet the particular needs and vocational aims of students. Students planning to use the undergraduate major in economics as a foundation for further study in graduate school should minor in mathematics. For careers with the government, mathematics is recommended; for careers in the financial services industry, accounting and finance are recommended; and for high school teaching, another social science is recommended. There are many career opportunities for the economics major; correspondingly, there are many alternatives in choosing electives and a minor field of study. For example, a number of our majors have been admitted to various law schools.
- Economics Students Association
- Omicron Delta Epsilon Honor Society
- Student Michigan Education Association
All economics majors and minors are urged to become familiar with computers and statistics regardless of career choice.
All majors and minors offered by the department require a 2.00 or higher grade point average for all economics courses. In addition, only courses passed with a C- or higher will be counted toward a major or minor. Any exception must be requested by petition to the department.
Students majoring in secondary education economics or minoring in secondary education economics must maintain a grade point average of 2.70 or greater with no grade below a C in the professional education sequence, the major and/or minors and required cognates combined.
Liberal Studies: Complete information on the liberal studies requirements and additional graduation requirements, including the health promotion requirement, is in the "Liberal Studies Program and Graduation Requirements" section of this bulletin.
Courses within each major that can be used to satisfy liberal studies requirements are listed with the Roman numeral (in brackets) that coincides with the liberal studies division the course falls under.
Courses within each minor that can be used to satisfy liberal studies requirements are listed with the Roman numeral (in brackets) that coincides with the liberal studies division the course falls under.

profbrendan wrote:See, I was thinking along the same lines as you. For one thing, your initial point about the interchangeable concept is completely true. And perhaps this IS supposed to be Death's bunny that mistakenly got used by a magician and is now being retrieved by his rightful owner. I guess my question to Ramy would be, since when does Death have a bunny? I'm not even talking about comedic license here because I have no problem with absurdity (done well), I'm saying there's no establishment of these two characters having any sort of connection. I could even understand the intent if the bunny had maybe a tiny cloak or a scythe or bone hands. ANYTHING to identify it being Death's pet. General carnage doesn't do that.
My take:
The Magician accidentally pulled out the rabbit from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" - you know, the one that decapitated several knights before they blew it up with the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch. RamyB's comment alludes to this being the case.
Rabbit proceeds to kill EVERYONE.
Death gets called in to reap their souls, and is perplexed that a single rabbit causes the damage.
It's probably true that Death is unnecessary in this picture if you look at it from the POV of concept. But, if he had gone with a rabbit decapitating people, it probably would have been rejected for copyrighted material. Otherwise, if it had been the rabbit eating people, it'd have been rejected for being too close to the aforementioned meat-eating rabbit shirt. By including Death, while it confuses the meaning of the shirt slightly, it allows him to execute his design without risk of it being rejected.
Very cool design! great use of the shirt color!

That may well be, but this seems like a stretch. However, I'll wait before hearing what radiomode has to say before saying off-topic just yet...

The curtains are nicely done but the lack of a bottom jaw on Death bothers me.

Now this has a great concept.

I'd hardly call that a blood soaked bunny... especially for the carnage.
Makes you wonder how he stayed so neat during the carnage creating... I'm guessing "lobster bib"

I don't know about that. It all depends upon what you are using as the basis for what you consider "magic". If you look at DnD and other games of their ilk, it's hardly a stretch at all. If you try to force it with Japanese legends, then it's a bit of a stretch - though, the Japanese had a few swords they considered magical in nature as well. The Kusanagi was a sword that controlled wind, and Muramasa blades were thought to be cursed and demonic.
This really captures the magic of nature for me. I like the contrast between the image in the box and the green shirt. I want one!

No, the 8 would still get you rejected. Any numbers, letters, or symbols count as text. I'd advise trying to find a way to rework it for this derby, wait until your 60-day hold has passed and try submitting somewhere else, or hold on to it and maybe it can fit in a future derby.

The Manhattan Jaspers shot 51.7 percent from the field, knocked down 11 3-point field goals and out rebounded the Canisius Golden Griffins by a 46-32 count en route to an 84-73 win Friday night in front of a sold-out Koessler Athletic Center. The win moves Manhattan to 16-6 overall and 9-4 in MAAC play while the loss ends the Griffs' four-game winning streak and moves the Blue and Gold to 16-8 overall and 10-3 in conference action.
Manhattan had four players score in double figures, led by senior guard George Beamon. Beamon scored a game-high 27 points after going 9-for-22 from the field, 5-for-9 from 3-point range and 4-for-5 from the free-throw line. He also had four rebounds and four assists. Sophomore Ashton Pankey had 16 points and 11 rebounds while Shane Richards came off the bench and chipped in 14 points on the power of four makes from 3-point land. Senior Michael Alvarado was good for 11 points and five assists for the Jaspers, who had 22 assists on 30 made field goals as a team in the victory.
For Canisius, senior Billy Baron scored a team-high 22 points to go with seven rebounds and seven assists. Redshirt sophomore Dominique Raney added 15 points and two assists off the bench and freshman Zach Lewis posted 13 points, four assists and two steals. The loss for the Griffs snapped their eight-game winning streak at home, the longest home winning streak for the program since 1998-99.
"I thought the crowd with the "Gold Rush" was awesome, but we just came out flat and you can't spot a good team like Manhattan a 10-point lead three minutes into the game," Canisius head coach Jim Baron said. "They are a veteran team that was picked to win this league for a reason. They have a lot of good players. We didn't do enough little things tonight. We showed some real grit and got their lead down to two points a couple of times, but they answered right back at us and made shots."
The Jaspers scored the game's first six points and led 9-1 just 2:49 into the game after RaShawn Stores hit a trey from the right wing. A jumper by Beamon with 13:18 left before half put Manhattan up 17-3 before the Griffs scored the game's next five points, capped by a pair of free-throws from Raney, to make it a nine-point game at 17-8 with 11:20 left in the first half. The Jaspers pushed their lead to as many as 16 points midway through the half at 32-16, but Canisius made a run at Manhattan and made it a one-possession game thanks to an 11-0 run, highlighted by three deep 3-pointers from Baron. But that two-point deficit would be as close as the Blue and Gold would get in the first half, and Manhattan used a quick 9-0 run just before the break to stretch its hold to 12 at 45-33.
In the second half, Manhattan led by as many as 15 early on before the Griffs whittled that lead down to seven at 57-50, keyed by four straight points from senior Chris Perez. Out of a Jasper timeout, Manhattan scored the game's next seven points to take a 64-50 lead with 11:04 left in the ball game. Canisius made one last push at Manhattan with a 12-3 run over the span of 3:30 to make the score 67-62 with 7:21 left. In that run, Lewis hit three 3-point field goals and Raney hit a jumper in the paint, but Manhattan answered the bell again, scoring seven of the game's next nine points to go up 74-64 with 5:06 left on the game clock.
For the game, Canisius shot 40.6 percent from the field, 42.9 percent from 3-point land and 62.5 percent from the free-throw line, and the Griffs turned 20 Manhattan turnovers into 22 points in the loss. The Jaspers ended the night with 15 offensive rebounds, 36 points-in-the-paint and 15 second-chance points.
Canisius will close out its weekend homestand on Sunday, Feb. 9, when the team hosts Iona on Canisius Hall of Fame Day. Game time is set for 2 p.m., in the Koessler Athletic Center. Iona sits in sole possession of first-place in the MAAC standings after the Gaels came back and defeated Niagara 90-89 Friday night in the Gallagher Center.Game Notes: This was the 83rd all-time meeting between Canisius and Manhattan, with the Jaspers leading the series 50-33… Manhattan has now beaten Canisius 27 times in Buffalo, with 11 of those wins coming in the Koessler Athletic Center… Prior to Friday's home loss to Manhattan, Canisius' last loss in the Koessler Athletic Center was to Evansville in the quarterfinals of the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament on March 26, 2013… The sell-out crowd of 2,196 is the fifth sell-out for the program in its last 25 home dates, dating back to the start of last year… Baron's 20 points gives him double-figures in 65 games in his career… His seven assists gives him five or more assists 12 times this season and 33 times in his career… Raney is averaging 13 points per game in the Griffs' last three contests… Lewis had three 3-point field goals in the loss for Canisius, the 14th time this year he's hit multiple 3-pointers in a game.. Senior Jordan Heath had six rebounds in the loss for the Griffs to give him 319 boards for his career… Senior Chris Manhertz wore a protective mask as a precautionary measure after he got hit in the nose in the game's first half.

Gone are the days when majority of corporate employees worked in the office and were statistically mapped to their applications and resources which all ran behind the firewall. Today, not only are applications running on the LAN/corporate data center and being delivered from cloud-based networks. These cloud resources might not have access to a corporate directory for employee validation. In addition, today's workforce is highly distributed; using a multitude of different access devices, yet organizations must still secure access to critical corporate resources.
As a result, implementing enterprise wide single sign-on can be a challenge when spanning multiple security domains and across distributed resource portals including, Cloud services, partner web portals and others. Each resource can require different digital proof of identity.
Read this paper to learn how F5 uses SAML to effectively enable secure web domains to exchange user authentication and authorization data, providing users of web browsers with single sign-on (SSO) convenience they need. With SAML you can enhance the employee's online experience and potentially reduce password-related tickets at the help desk.

The Wal-marts around us have stopped carrying fabric! They just opened a new one in Lexington, KY in January and they don't have it and at least two more around the area have redone the interiors and have stopped carrying fabric.
So check local listings!

Nine members of the Canisius College men's and women's cross country teams competed in the 35th annual Shamrock Run in Buffalo, N.Y. on Saturday afternoon. The 8K-race featured a field of 3,810 runners, taking the competitors through the streets of downtown Buffalo and the historic neighborhood of the Old First Ward.
"I am very happy with where our women are right now," said head coach Nate Huckle. "We are much stronger than we were last spring, and I feel like each and every runner is poised to hit their personal best for 5K on the track this spring. That will set us up for a strong cross country season next fall."
Joining Huckle and assistant coach Aileen Hoak were five male Griff runners and four female runners. Among the record 5,600 registered-runners for the event, 3,810 participated in the 8K-race comprised of 1,941 men and 1,869 women. The race kicked off the racing season in Buffalo, as the first one of the Buffalo News racing series which tracks the Buffalo News Runner of the Year competition.
Leading the women's pack to the tape was Hoak, who captured the individual title with a 35-second lead over the runnerup for a time of 29:27. On the men's side, sophomore Chad Maloy placed third overall with a time of 25:24.
In the men's race, Maloy battled with a pair of Edinboro University runners Bryan Baumgartner and Matt Link for the top spot. Baumgartner was able to hold off Maloy to win the men's title (25:09) with Link finishing second (25:18). In his performance at the Shamrock Run, Maloy recorded his third fastest time in the 8K distance.
"Chad is just starting to round into form after taking some downtime for a minor knee issue, so for him to place third and run his third fastest time for the distance was outstanding," said Huckle. "Once Chad starts doing hard workouts again he will be fully back on top of his game. He is going to turn some heads on the track this spring."
Senior Alex Simon was the second Griff to cross the line, finishing 12th overall (26:11). Simon was followed by sophomore Joe Schnitter in 16th (26:44), junior Nate McCabe in 17th (26:45) and senior Aaron Hoven in 21st (27:58). Huckle rounded out the list of Griff male participants with a 43rd-place finish, improving on his time from the Turkey Trot in November.
"This was a great early spring performance for both Alex [Simon] and Joe [Schnitter]," stated Huckle. "Joe has pushed himself this winter, putting in 60 to 70 miles per week in an effort to move up and help the team next fall. It paid off with his personal best time for the distance."
The next female to cross the line after Hoak was junior Mikelle Cala, claiming an 11th-place finish (32:11). Cala was followed closely behind by sophomore Morgan Atkins in 16th (32:37) and junior Jaime Wallace in 23rd (33:37). The fourth Griff to finish was the race was sophomore Stephanie Frankenberger, placing 57th in 37:58.

Arsène Wenger admits he has studied Tottenham's victory against AC Milan last season - but intends to take a different approach against the Italian giants.
Arsenal's North London rivals secured a narrow 1-0 victory at the San Siro through a late goal by Peter Crouch, before the two sides played out a goalless draw in the second leg.
Wenger has watched both matches but wants the Gunners to take the game to Milan on Wednesday night.
"I have seen [that game], yes," he said. "Milan had a lot of the ball and Tottenham caught them on the break at the end of the game.
"You never decide when you break, you break when you can. It was a game which was vastly dominated, especially in the second half, by Milan.
"We will not decide at the start of the game that we will sit in our half if we have to, like Tottenham did. We will do it and then try to catch them on the break.

A little something for fans ferverently waiting for The Walking Dead: Season Two! A familiar face returns in the premiere episode All That Remains, releasing later this month.
A little something for fans ferverently waiting for The Walking Dead: Season Two! A familiar face returns in the premiere episode All That Remains, releasing later this month.
Omid is back! I think everyone can be happy about this.
Now, that is Gil's pitstop in the background. I have a feeling I might regret having everyone go to the settlement.
Thank God he is ok. Couple things though
Gils Pitstop was first introduced in 400 days near or at the drug store (Macon).
Outside the pitstop was the prison bus which was abandoned in Vince Story
Because this takes place after "No Time Left" Omid was last seen in Savannah
Savannah is considered a long way away if it takes about 2 days to get there by train
You are telling me that Omid walked or drove all the way to or outside Macon with or without Clementine on his side.
And Kenny's fate will be revealed.
This will be a darn good one! Can't Wait
Don't worry. Job's tweet says "this month". And they can't launch on the Christmas week. So that puts Season Two in the span of December 3 to December 20. Less than three weeks from today. But like Vainamoinen predicts I think we might see a release on December 13.
Does anyone else think that this screenshot is from the beginning of the episode, and that Omid and Clementine get separated? I keep thinking that part of the first episode will play out like the S2 trailer, Clementine scared of others because she doesn't have someone to watch over her.
It wouldn't surprise me. I'm mostly curious when the game will take place. (Before or After the 400 Day mark of the outbreak.)
I hope Clem and Omid don't run into Nasty Nate!!! Just kidding, I hope they do. Nate was my favorite part of 400 days.
This comment may contain spoilers!
Nate was hmm.. Too weird... I don't want to see Clem scared, because Nate, open Car's window to see Walker ._. ( Like he did with Russell )
EDIT: + I don't want him because, he would do the same what he did with Russell in Gas Station ( Kill them or leave ._. )
So? Vince is boring like hell and has nothing badass about him. Nate has more interesting character.

Homosexuality in the Arab world is not only a dangerous topic for discussion, but also places any man caught in the act of sexual intercourse with threats to his life. According to a newspaper reporter in Damascus gays are beginning to come out of the closet of fear and "they're becoming more and more visible at certain meeting places around Damascus," such as chic shopping areas, a public garden and some pubs in the old section of the town. There are indications most gays come from the upper level urban middle class and are fairly well educated and familiar with issues of gay rights throughout the world. A group of 200 Syrian gays recently formed a group named, "I'm just like you." The group issued a manifesto about their beliefs: "I'm gay and I have a right to my opinion. I belong to this society, and it owes me some respect. I'm gay- I don't come from another planet."
Most Arab nations still have laws making any form of homosexual relationship a crime that is punishable with time in jail. Syrian gays are fighting for the right to be open about their sexuality, but it will be many years before the typical Arab male is willing to accept such an orientation.

Click for "Microbes After Hours" videos
Well, the smallest of the small are the viruses. They're so tiny, we need a special kind of microscope called an electron microscope to see even the largest of them.
Viruses come in a range of tiny sizes, but the smallest of all are members of a group called the Parvoviruses <par-voh-vye-rus-iz>. Some of these spherical viruses can be as little as 18 nanometers in diameter.
How small is that, you ask? Well, a nanometer (abbreviated nm) is one-billionth (1/1,000,000,000th) of a meter. There are about 25,000,000 nanometers in 1 inch.
To give you a comparison, an itty-bitty E. coli bacterium is a giant next to a parvovirus. This capsule-shaped bacterium is about 2,000 nm long and 500 nm wide. A single hair from your head is anywhere from about 17,000 to 180,000 nm in diameter, depending on what kind of hair you have. Even though a hair sounds gargantuan compared to a parvovirus, just try staring down at the tip of one of your hairs—you'll go cross-eyed trying to focus on its tiny width. (To get an even better sense of how different microbes compare in size to a hair, try the Let's Get Small activity in the Experiments section.)
So parvoviruses are pretty darn tiny! But are they the tiniest living things? Well, since it's uncertain whether you can call viruses "living" or not—and at the very least viruses definitely aren't free-living things since they can't reproduce on their own—we have to give the crown for smallest known free-living things to a group of bacteria called the Mycoplasmas <my-coh-plaz-muhs>. Some of the little bacteria in this family measure only about 150 nm wide. They are actually smaller than some viruses. There are some 90 different Mycoplasmas out there, some of which infect animals, others plants and others insects. Fourteen are known that infect people.
Now, notice I said that Mycoplasmas are the smallest "known" free-living things. There may be even tinier bacteria out there. In 1998, a team of Australian scientists announced that they had found incredibly tiny bacteria in ancient sandstone dredged up from an oil drilling site about three miles below the ocean floor off of western Australian (see this news article).
Viewed through powerful electron microscopes, the things they found look like fuzzy tangles of threads. Individual "threads" measure only 20 to 150 nm in length. At the largest, that would make them the size of the smallest Mycoplasmas. At the tiniest, that makes them no bigger than little viruses. The researchers nicknamed their find "nanobes."
Because these nanobes are so incredibly tiny, they are devilishly hard for scientists to work with. But the Australian scientists reported that they have seen these evidence that these little things reproduce and grow and their studies have shown signs of DNA, the genetic recipe of all living things, in them. Also, when the scientists cut through some of the tangles, they saw different patterns that looked like the outside and inside of a cell.
Still, other scientists are doubtful that these nanobes are living things. After all, as some scientists point out, proteins and molecules—all the tools and stuff needed for a living cell to function—take up space. A single ribosome <rye-boh-zome>, a molecule that reads the DNA recipe and builds proteins from it, would fill up a sphere 50 to 60 nm in diameter. So how could you have a free-living cell that uses DNA as its code of life that is only 20 or 30 nm wide?
The scientific jury is still out on whether these nanobes are truly free-living super-tiny bacteria or not. That means that officially, Mycoplasmas still get to claim the title of smallest living things on Earth—for now.

In addition, more traditional unis have been getting into the online market, so students have more choices. U of P has been doing other things behind the scenes, such as increasing class sizes and letting faculty go, which are not discussed in that article.

Now we're up to "many"?Same here. The op did say 'some' americans, not all, and yes many are that stupid.I don't know about that video.
But, I do think that plenty of Americans really are that stupid.
I think there are people who have idiotic ideas. There are also many people who are dumb about certain things. (I couldn't figure out college chem for anything.) But to paint a broad brush that "many" Americans are stupid is simply ridiculous.

Cats... always trying to take over the world...
Sweet! As tired as I was, I stayed up hoping this would be printed! Of course I had to be the first sucker on this one! Thanks woot for not disappointing me! This makes staying up worth it! And today will be a good day, because I know this shirt will be on it's way to me soon!
And now my cats are saying, "Today a nap, Tomorrow the world!" Meow meow meow...
I was just doing a catalog search for Walmazan, AND I'm wearing Apocalyptus right now. This shirt, somehow, speaks to me.

Posted by Katyayan Gupta on November 6, 2013
I attended this year's Nokia World in Abu Dhabi on October 22 and 23 — perhaps the last one that Nokia will host to showcase its devices (Microsoft wants to acquire Nokia's device and services business). And it seems that Nokia saved its best for last. The company announced its entry into the loosely-defined phablet category (smart devices with diagonal screen size of more than 5 inches but less than 7 inches) with two devices: a top-of-the-line flagship device, the Lumia 1520, and a more affordable version, the Lumia 1320. It also announced its first tablet, the Lumia 2520. It also launched three new Asha devices: Asha 500, Asha 502, and Asha 503. However, Nokia has neither announced the release date for its new devices nor identified which operators will carry them.
The event tag line was "Innovation Reinvented," and Nokia did demonstrate many innovations, especially around imaging software. It launched new apps like the Nokia Camera, which combines Smart Camera and Pro Camera apps; Refocus, which adds Lytro-like variable depth of field; Storyteller, which integrates photos and videos onto HERE maps; and Beamer, which shares Lumia's screen in real time over Wi-Fi or cellular networks.

"I LOVE using TinyPrints for all of my party needs, but when it came time to organize my son's 13th birthday party...I didn't know if TinyPrints would have what I was looking for. I could not have been more wrong! In fact, the entire theme came together from this one invitation! We even carried it through to pit crew shirts for all of the guests, postage, and chocolate "tire" cupcakes. I'm sorry I ever doubted you TinyPrints!! And ps, I already found invites for my husband's 40th too!! Thanks again!!"
"Absolutely gorgeous card - perfect for my daughter. Pink and chic, came quickly and customer service was super helpful. Preppy and stylish just like my girl!"
"These cards have an excellent quality and have a beautiful design. They were perfect invitations for my occasion. I would definitely recommend this to everyone I know."
"There were multiple color options for customization, it featured a unique design and the invitations were delivered quickly."
"These were so perfect for my 11 year old , I will definitely order again for her next Birthday Party next year .. Great Job :) ~FLORA~"

I don't know who else got these, but I received my pair about 3-4 weeks ago. First off, I love'em. Canvas, white sole, great shoe! Most comfortable pair I think I've EVER had, like walking on air. The thing I wasn't so crazy about--colors. The colors were off. Too shiney and the black was just not cool. I went to wal-mart and got the following:
Delta Ceramcoat Textiles Medium
Delta Ceramcoat Hippo Grey
Delta Ceramcoat Quaker grey
The textiles medium you mix into your acrylic paint so you can paint cloth(and wash it) without the paint cracking. A few hours later I had a MUCH more accurate set of boots. The colors, IMHO look great. I've weathered them and am going to try and get some GOOOOOD pictures for you guys to see. Let me know if you've done the same.
Here is the finished product(sorry the pics are a little dark)

Kent: In awe of stranger's generosity
December 25, 2012
My friend Annie and I are two of those bell ringers who create the "infernal racket" at Walmart throughout December. While freezing our toes off on Thursday night we encountered the gentleman you wrote about in your Dec. 21 Summit Up article. We were amazed by his generosity when we found out he was looking for families to hand out the gift cards to. Whoever he is, he deserves a lot of good karma and Annie and I send him the best wishes for his holiday and New Year's and want him to know we are in awe of his generosity! People like him are the reason people say it's a magical time of year!

Come may or june or whatever you decide to make splits, nucs or the like. I dont see why one could not give the bees in new hive a treatment, then give them there new queen or queen cell the following day or two or something to this effect. I guess Im getting way ahead of my self any way.
Hello, I have made this movie.The choice of using oxalic acid sublimed resulted after losing for years many families of bees with "oxalic acid drip"I live in Italy, Rome. The climate in my country does not allow a block of brood to colonies of bees. Thus the treatment "drip" is not very effective against Varroa.With appropriate protections, as I mentioned briefly in the movie, the risk to the beekeeper are minimized. Many professional beekeepers in Italy to use this method with satisfaction.I am always at your disposalSincerely Bernardino Ferri
The dribble is harder on the bees. .
I've seen says you can only do one treatment. Two will shorten their lives too much.
Hi Everyone. I'm new to this site. 6 years with my own bees, 2 to 3 hives.Is there an easy way to measure out 1 gm or 1.5 gm or 2 gm of OA crystals?For example - x ml or x tsp?I don't have ready access to a scale with that ability . . ThanksScott

Lakeland, FL — The week of April 22 - 28, 2012, National Crime Victims' Rights Week, is a time to honor crime victims and our nation's progress in advancing their rights. This year's theme—Extending the Vision: Reaching Every Victim—celebrates the vision behind that progress and the ideal of serving all victims of crime.
The vision that launched the victims' rights movement emerged more than 30 years ago. Then—as now—crime victims endured physical and emotional wounds and costly financial burdens. The Lakeland Police Department has an established Victim's Assistance Program that continually works to confront these challenges and to promote fair, compassionate, and respectful responses to victims of crime. As part of the program, a Victim's Compensation Trust Fund has been established to provide financial support for victims of crime in the areas of counseling, dental/medical bills, lost wages just to name a few.
An integral part of the Victim's Assistance Program are the volunteers from the Lakeland community who donate their time to assist victims of crime. Volunteers play many roles such as providing emotional support, helping with transportation needs and serving as a guide in obtaining compensation for the victim. The Lakeland Police Department is continually recruiting volunteers and happy to work with any one interested in assisting those in need in our community.
For additional information about National Crime Victims' Rights Week or the Victims Assistance Program and how to help victims in your community, please contact the Lakeland Police Department at 863.834-6914.

The City of Lakeland's Public Works Department will be celebrating the American Public Works Association national Public Works Week (NPWW) from 6:00pm until 9:00pm on Friday, May 4, 2012, along with Downtown Lakeland's First Friday event. During this event shops and restaurants will stay open with music and entertainment along the streets including a classic car show.
The NPWW celebration will be In Munn Park featuring displays from each of our Public Works divisions. Some of the feature displays include: heavy duty equipment, Lakes & Stormwater awareness campaigns, pedestrian & bicycle safety, recycling materials and much more! Along with these events, there will be children's activities, give-a-ways and fun for the whole family!
Everyone is invited to the Downtown Lakeland First Friday and the celebration of National Public Works Week. Parking is free beginning at 5:00pm the evening of the event in the Main Street parking garage. Additional free parking is also available in the Bay Street Lot, the Oak Street Park & ride and old fire station lot located at 400 E. Main St.
The Lakeland Community Redevelopment Agency and Platform Art will unveil a ceramic art tile installation on the Orange Street Bridge and a new community garden at 7 p.m. as part of the April 28th Platform Art Party 19 event.
Platform Art Party 19 will celebrate these public improvements and feature live music, dance, fashion, film, and visual arts all of which will be at St. Joseph's Church from 7 p.m. – 11 p.m. An admission fee of $15 in advance or $20 at the door will allow entry into the galleries and performance venues.
The Orange Street Bridge project originated with a desire on the part of the Lakeland CRA to partner with the arts community to connect Downtown's many art and entertainment venues and also to enhance the connection between The Lakeland Center and the Downtown core area. There is now a pedestrian walkway from the Lakeland Center to downtown enhanced by new shade trees, an installation of original ceramic tiles by St. Petersburg artist Beate Marston and a peaceful urban pocket park in what was once a fenced vacant lot.
The artistic tiles along the Orange Street Bridge reflect an urban agriculture theme and feature downtown skylines and flora. At the foot of the bridge at New York Avenue and Orange Street, is a new community garden that will be maintained by St. Joseph's Catholic Church and the Polk County Master Gardeners.
The bridge and the garden will be open to the public and the live music, food trucks, Equine Rescue and other urban agriculturally themed booths will be open to the public throughout the evening.
Platform Art performances are unique and unexpected with art, film, dance, fashion and live music.
Artists, musicians, and performers entertain through out the evening. Beverages are available, and complimentary hors d oeuvres provided by Texas Cattle Company. The event kicks-off at the Orange Street Bridge with a dedication from Mayor Fields at 7pm.

Storm World: A Review
Mooney covers many of the themes and issues we've discussed here before, but adds his own novel interpretations and uncovers a number of key historical details, in the process of stitching together a compelling narrative. Naturally, there is discussion of the hoopla over the active 2004 and 2005 Atlantic hurricane seasons and the aftermath of Katrina. There is extensive discussion of the high-profile studies by Emanuel, Webster, Curry and coworkers (see e.g. here and here) which, eerily coincident with the record-setting 2005 season, first suggested a detectable climate change signal in hurricane behavior. Due attention, in turn, is payed to the active scientific debate these studies have subsequently generated. Mooney describes the debate over the role of natural vs. anthropogenic factors in observed tropical warming trends that have been related to increased hurricane activity, and there is a fair amount of discussion of the partisanship that high-level NOAA administrators have apparently taken in this debate. But, you might ask, what is the bottom line taken by Mooney? What side of the debate does he come down on? Well, again, those looking for a fight will again be disappointed.
Mooney doesn't come down on any particular 'side' of the debate. Instead, he explores the nuances of the scientific findings and views of the various protagonists, and helps the science and the scientists speak for themselves. For example, he gives Bill Gray credit (and rightly so) for the important contributions he has made to our current understanding of hurricane genesis, and shows a somewhat bemused admiration for Gray as a sympathetic relic of a dying breed of atmospheric scientist. But this does not stand in the way of him criticizing Gray (again rightly so) for his curmudgeonly scorn of current generation scientists, and in particular his somewhat irrational rejection of the science supporting an anthropogenic influence on climate. Mooney articulates his criticism gently, by citing Arthur C. Clarke's "First Law"
When a distinguished elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
There should be no misunderstanding. While Mooney is indeed balanced, he is not completely agnostic either. He recognizes that hurricane characteristics are indeed changing and that, while we may not yet have arrived at definitive answers to the underlying scientific questions, we ought to be concerned.

Hey fellow ESB'rs,
I'm thinking about making the vest for my fett costume and had a few questions. I am doing an ESB version(obviously) and was planning on using the cheerleader pattern(unless anybody has a better idea/pattern to use).
Also, what type of material is it made from? Now I know the exact material hasn't been identified(unless im mistaken) but if anyone could tell me what is some close material or what they used, it would be very helpful. I was also wondering what color the ESB vest is. I thought I saw somewhere that it was white, but then I read that it is darker than the ROTJ one.
So if any other ESB'rs(or anyone else ) could help me out, I would be very grateful.
