Could someone make some suggestions for a female Mandolorian please. My wife, who has graciously embraced my passion for Star Wars and character builds, is open to a costume for herself. Though she has the figure for it, she is not too keen on the Slave Leia, and does not like the Leia Ceremonial gown. Though she likes Hoth Leia, it's not one of my favorites; so, I suggested a Mandolorian. I would like it to be an actual female character and am thinking of the Redhead in Old Republic (can't remember her name). Would anyone have additional suggestions??? She is 5', Long Auburn Hair, 1o5lbs. with an athletic build.
Thanks for ANY direction!!

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Thanks oldbogie, he actually did a fairly decent job on the cylinders themselves, and at the time I had access to some pretty accurate measurement tools at my school, where I affirmed that the forged pistons had around .003"-.004" clearance as was called for in the piston's instructions for my street application. Personally I do not trust ANY machinist to just "get it right" for me, and I checked and rechecked all the work that was done, and was fairly satisfied with the results, especially when I compared it to other machine work from other shops.
Another option is to just switch out the oil rings from a cheaper set.
Usually low tension ring sets just refer to the oil rings and not the two compression rings. Oil rings generally come anywhere from ultra low 8# to more than 20# for stock stuff. Most off the shelf low tension sets are in the 15# range.
As for a 100 bucks more here and there, that sounds like the line attributed to Everett Dirksen in a speach on the US Capital floor somewhere in the mid 1950's where he is said to have said "a million bucks here, a million bucks there; pretty soon you're talking real money". It is non-the-less a trueism where building engines is concerned.
I'm thinking just a plain old set of moly rings with the correct thickness for the piston ring lands will git 'er done for ya. Im not so sure the rings you have won't work, but I appriciate you're concern about the effort to fix it if they don't. If the pistons are hyper-eutectic castings or high silicon forgings and your machinest clearanced them correcctly (tight) for this material even the low tension rings should be fine. But given the torque plate error I guess there's no reason to suspect this would be correct for these high silicon, highly temperature stable, modern piston materials either. You can at least measure this to find out.
Well, the block itself is of 1978 vintage, not that it really matters, with all that's being done to it.
And the rings are actually already gapped to be honest... I have been building this thing for a while now, and I was going to just run with em like you suggested, but I had second thoughts about it and came here to see if I was making a big mistake.
I was unaware that any 302's came stock with low tension rings... that makes me feel a bit safer for sure.
I'm at an impass with my 347 build
I'll try to be concise here (HA!), but basically I think I've worked myself into a slightly expensive situation, and I just need some advice on getting out of it... as cheaply as possible.
I've got this 347 Ford stroker I'm building and I made some rather bad decisions when it came time to get the thing machined. You see, I ordered my bottom end kit from Coast High Performance, and along with their kit, they (unknown to me at the time) sent me a rather expensive set of low tension plasma-moly rings. According to my machinist, plasma-moly rings require a much finer finish on the cylinder bore in order to live, and so I followed his recommendation, which cost me a few extra bucks. Unfortunately, in a bout of absent-mindedness, I completely forgot to ask him to use a torque plate, and my machinist never asked (he told me later he does not typically recommend this for street applications like mine... but that's under normal circumstances.) My machinist never saw my rings before he did the bore/hone, so he didn't realize they were low tension... and a while after the work had already been done, I realized what they were, did a little research on them, and realized that low tension rings really need a perfectly round bore to work correctly.
So, to sum it all up where I am at this point... I have cylinder bores that are honed specifically for these really expensive rings, but not torque plate honed, so they're not ideal. I'm worried I'm going to end up with an oil burner, especially with the already troublesome rod ratios of 347's.
At this point I can buy new plasma-moly rings that are NOT low-tension, but they are kinda big bucks (something like $140). And I already spent extra on the machining, when, if I'd known, I could have bought a set of cheapo rings from the beginning and been done with it. But does it REALLY matter? I am adamant at this point that I cannot keep throwing away money on useless parts that don't help me at all. I've run way over budget doing that kinda thing, and all the little "oh but it's only 100 bucks more" REALLY adds up. Do I just run with what I have, or drop even more money on new rings?

Senator Jim Webb of Virginia who fought in the jungles of Vietnam, wants to make it law that members of the military who are deployed overseas are entitled to as much time at home as they spent overseas. Although, current military police is a 1:1 ration, Webb wants to make it the law so that members of the military are not subject to the whim of government officials who seek to create new wars without any consideration of that impact on the lives of those who do the fighting. National Guard and reserve members would have a promise of three times as long at home as they spend overseas before getting another deployment in the world.
A tragedy of the past eight years is that no member of the Bush administration ever saw combat although they talked as though they were not afraid of any enemies. Bush could readily cry, "Bring Em On" but no one who has actually been in combat would utter such an inane expression. Senator Webb is correct–make it the law.

Art Professor, Student, Defend Cross Vandalism
A Western Kentucky University art professor and her student are defending what pro-life students are calling an act of desecration and vandalism after the student draped hundreds of condoms on top of crosses displayed in a pro-life exhibit.
The crosses were part of a university-sanctioned display by Hilltopper's For Life. A member of the group actually captured student Elaina Smith as she and another person placed condoms on many of the 3,700 crosses. She reportedly told the pro-lifers that the desecration was part of a class art project.
Smith was asked to stop and when she refused, they called Western Kentucky's campus police. The police refused to stop the cross desecration, telling the pro-life students that it was a First Amendment issue.
Smith's project was reportedly for Professor Kristina Arnold's class. Arnold told television station WBKO that she did not disprove of the idea and that she "encourages learning."
"Learning and debating are not always pretty or polite processes," she wrote in a statement to the television station. "Critical engagement with ideas can get messy."
Kristen Hawkins, the executive director for Students For Life, told Fox News that she was shocked that a university professor would condone vandalism.
"I think it's outrageous the university professor would say this," Hawkins said. "For the university and the professor to write this off as not being a big deal – this is pretty shocking. It's shocking they would not be willing to stand up for the rights of their students."
Hawkins provided Fox News with a copy of an email that Smith sent defending her actions.
"I stand by my actions," Smith wrote. "I do not believe that I impeded anyone else's freedom of expression. I did not break any laws. I did not damage any property. I voluntarily removed the condoms even though I was not required to do so."
Western Kentucky released a statement calling the incident "disrespectful symbolism." The university also said the Smith apologizing – something she denied in the email and to local media.
"I do not feel that I should apologize for attempting to exercise the freedoms that we are all entitled to," she wrote.
The Hilltoppers For Life are now represented by the Alliance Defense Fund. They've sent a letter to the university demanding answers and an official apology.
"It appears that several WKU officials knew this vandalism would occur, did nothing to stop it, and allowed it to continue," wrote attorney Travis Barham. "Our clients were exercising their First Amendment rights, and it is the duty of WKU officials to protect those freedoms, not passively allow them to be violated."
The Alliance Defense Fund sent a list of eight demands to the university. In addition to a public apology, they also want to know who purchased and supplied Smith with 3,700 condoms. They also want assurances that the student will be punished for her act of vandalism.
"At a public university, 'critical engagement' also involves respecting the free speech rights of fellow students, something Ms. Smith and Dr. Arnold both missed," Barham wrote.
A university spokesman told Fox News that to their knowledge, the incident is closed.

After re-living the excesses of the 80's, we decided to embrace the essentialism and minimalism of objects and their functionality: A return to a classical and more elegant point of view, which had been overshadowed in these past few years, especially from the younger consumers.The SS10 RetroSuperFuture collection was conceived and designed with three basic key points in mind: simplicity, research and understated-elegance. The extra twist and the true summer feeling for the SS10 collection was given with the specific selection of style and material of the acetates, we proudly present our Summer Safari theme. The Summer Safari acetates and combinations successfully combine a fresh and innovative style without stepping out of line from our three initial focus points (mentioned above), yet maintaining the everyday style and under-stated elegance we wanted. Another additional feature on some of the silhouettes of this season is weight, with the Andrea, the People, the Lucia and the W that are very lightweight yet high-quality sunglass.
Again this collection is characterized by our "super" distinctive mark: which now functions as a decorative cap between the frame and the leg, revealing our logo only when the eyewear is opened, when the piece is closed it creates a simple yet incisive recognition decor.

|I climbed this peak with Randy, Sharon and Cheryl of the "usual suspects." Janey and Barb climbed with us as far as Wheeler Lake. We had intended to try for two or three summits today, but the length of the Traver climb alone interfered with those thoughts.
The 4WD road to Wheeler Lake still had a lot of distracting mud puddles that required detours. The upper basin above the lake was still lush and full of flowers, and the route to the summit went over lots of rocky rubble. Great views from the summit, of course.
Coming down we encountered at least 15-20 jeeps gathered at Wheeler Lake, and at least another 20 or so jeeps on the road down to the trailhead at the reservoir. This was the only negative to this route.
Another great day in the Colorado mountains!

Softball Future Bright After Young Squad's Memorable 2013
June 26, 2013
LEXINGTON, Ky. - The University of Kentucky softball team turned its calendar to the 2013 season with a youthful team. A majority of the roster were underclassmen, including eight true freshmen experiencing collegiate softball for the first time. And although six talented juniors and two seniors headlined the top of the roster, a challenging early season schedule and the rigors of the Southeastern Conference would have appeared, on paper, to possibly be too much for the squad to handle.
But what Kentucky fans - and soon the nation - figured out was Rachel Lawson's 2013 team would not focus on the future, but take full advantage of the present, earning its fifth consecutive appearance in the NCAA Tournament - one of just 23 schools to claim that honor - and making it to the school's second ever NCAA Super Regional.
"If you would have said at the beginning of the year that we would have made it all the way to NCAA Super Regionals against ASU with five freshmen starting, I would have said that's a tall order, but they responded," Lawson said after the team's final game of the year in Tempe, Ariz. "I do feel like we have a solid foundation, but we are going to have to figure out how to replace Kara Dill and Alice O'Brien, and we are going to have to figure out how to do better offensively."
Kentucky ended the season at 41-21, surpassing the previous single-season win mark in school history, which was 40 wins set by the 2011 team that went on to a NCAA Super Regional for the first time in school history. The winning season, which was the fourth in Lawson's six-year tenure, was filled with many other team accomplishments, including tying the school record for most runs in a game in the 18-0 win over North Carolina, which was also the largest margin of victory in school history. UK also tied the school record for most extra-inning wins with seven, while its five home runs hit against Middle Tennessee State was the most in a game in school history.
The Wildcats' accomplishments started when the team began the season with a 19-4 record, tying the best start in school history. In that fast start, UK won eight consecutive games, which tied the longest winning streak in school history. The eight consecutive wins came in back-to-back weekend tournaments, marking the first time UK had gone undefeated in consecutive tournaments in school history.
On top of the fast start, Kentucky played well in SEC action, finishing with a winning record in conference play for the third consecutive season and only fourth time in school history. The SEC regular season was capped off with an historic series win at top-10 ranked Alabama, as the Wildcats not only won their first ever game in Tuscaloosa, Ala., against the Crimson Tide but claimed their first ever series win against the perennial national power.
The big series win over Alabama propelled UK into postseason play as the Wildcats hosted the 2013 SEC Tournament for the first time in school history. Kentucky's postseason success continued when it was chosen as the No. 12 national seed in the NCAA Tournament, hosting a NCAA regional for the first time ever. The Wildcats went 3-1 at the regional, defeating Marshall in the opening round before taking down Virginia Tech twice to punch its ticket to Tempe, to face No. 5 Arizona State in an NCAA Super Regional.
The Wildcats dropped both games in Tempe, falling 5-4 in game one and 5-2 in game two. Kentucky launched four homers in game one, marking the most home runs a UK team has ever hit in a NCAA Tournament game. Freshman infielder Christian Stokes had two homers in game one, becoming the second UK player ever to homer twice in a NCAA Tournament game.
Overall, UK played one of the best schedules in the country with 34 of its 62 games against teams that finished the season ranked or receiving votes in either the ESPN.com/USA Softball Top 25 or USA Today/National Fastpitch Coaches Association Top 25. UK won 17 of those games. UK had nine wins during the season against teams ranked at the time UK defeated them, including five top-10 teams and ranked SEC foes Florida, Missouri and Alabama.
Kentucky finished 12th nationally in the ESPN.com/USA Softball Top 25, which ties the highest final ranking in the poll in school history. Kentucky also finished 12th in 2011 after its first-ever trip to a NCAA Super Regional. UK was 14th nationally in the USA Today/NFCA Top 25, which is the school's second highest final ranking in that poll after the 2011 team finished 13th.
The Wildcats started the season receiving votes in both polls before a strong opening weekend pushed Lawson and Co. into the top 25 of both polls. UK stayed in the top 25 in both polls the rest of the season.
"Overall we had a very good season," Lawson said. "We have been very good. This is our fifth straight postseason and we have been to two NCAA Super Regionals. With that said, in order to get to the World Series, your team usually has to figure out how to host and we did that from the beginning of the year on. I think that was a big step for our program and hopefully it will pay off in the future."
On-field accomplishments aside, Kentucky's 2013 season will forever be remembered as the opening season of John Cropp Stadium, a new $9.5 million softball complex. The stadium was officially dedicated and named in a pregame ceremony on April 13, marking the official grand opening of the new stadium. Kentucky defeated No. 3 Florida 4-2 in the game. John Cropp Stadium features 1,500 seats, a spacious press box, two luxury suites and a first-class indoor hitting/fielding facility, complete with a locker room, team lounge and offices.
Another key accomplishment during 2013 was Lawson becoming the winningest head coach in UK history. UK's 6-2 game-one win over EKU on April 10 propelled Lawson into the UK record books with win No. 182. Lawson ended the season with a 194-154 record at Kentucky, taking her career record to 286-238.
Kentucky not only shined as a team in 2013, several players had record-breaking seasons. Freshman pitcher Kelsey Nunley busted onto the scene in the circle for Kentucky, going 27-11 with a 2.14 ERA, striking out 193 in 268.2 innings pitched. Nunley's impressive win total is the most by a pitcher in a single season in school history, while her ERA ranks third lowest in a single season in school history. The native of Soddy Daisy, Tenn., also finished with the fifth most strikeouts in a single season in school history, while her .725 winning percentage is the third best ever by a UK pitcher in one season. In fact, Nunley's 2013 season was so impressive she currently ranks sixth all-time in career strikeouts and is tied for seventh in career wins.
Junior Lauren Cumbess, who shined at the plate and in the circle in 2013, also made her mark in the UK record book. The native of Normal, Ill., ended the season second in ERA at 3.88 with a 10-7 record, while leading the team in hitting with a .323 batting average. Cumbess paced the team with 13 homers and 43 RBI on the season. Cumbess' 2013 season ranks as one of the best offensively in school history as she ranks top 10 in UK's single-season record book in at-bats, doubles, home runs, RBI and total bases.
Sophomore catcher Griffin Joiner, who started all 62 games behind the plate, had an incredible 2013 season at the dish, hitting .322 with 14 doubles, one triple, 10 homers and 41 RBI. The native of Hopkinsville, Ky., also ranks top 10 on UK's single-season record listing in doubles, home runs and RBI.
Seniors Kara Dill, who missed a majority of the season with an injury, and Alice O'Brien also had good seasons for UK at the plate. Dill hit .321 with 29 runs scored and seven stolen bases, while O'Brien hit .306 with career highs in doubles (nine), homers (eight) and RBI (32). O'Brien also had five sacrifice flies on the year, which tied the school record for most in a single season.
A lot of UK's success in 2013 was due to solid performances by its eight-member freshmen class. Nunley's impact in the circle was obvious, but several other members had strong years at the dish. Outfielder Sylver Samuel led the group in hitting at .319 with 22 runs scored and a team-best 21 stolen bases, while infielder Nikki Sagermann provided the most power, hitting .314 with three doubles, seven homers and 26 RBI. Christian Stokes, who moved from second base to shortstop after Dill's injury, hit .252 with seven homers and 29 RBI, while Maisie Steed spent most of the season at the leadoff spot with a team-best 33 runs scored a .351 on-base percentage.
Although UK loses Dill and O'Brien heading into next season, it will return 16 players from its memorable 2013 season. The experience those players had this season and confidence they gained, coupled with the addition of three talented incoming freshmen, sets up for another special season next spring.

Arsène Wenger believes Philippe Senderos still has a "very good" future ahead of him despite his decision to send him out on loan to Milan
The Swiss international is expected to seal a temporary transfer to the San Siro in the next few days, subject to a medical. But that does not mean his five-year spell in North London should be seen as a failure.
"He was not disappointing," said Wenger. "Don't forget Senderos is 23 years-old - that is when other central defenders just start to play.
"He has played in a Champions League Final and has played over 100 games in the Premier League. [At Arsenal] he was in a position where we had many centre backs.
"For me, he will be a very good centre back."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Wojciech Szczesny says Arsène Wenger's pre-match words of wisdom helped him save Dirk Kuyt's penalty in Saturday's victory over Liverpool.
Szczesny's goalkeeping heroics proved integral to Arsenal's late win at Anfield, the Pole making a string of important first-half stops to keep the hosts at bay.
Robin van Persie may have grabbed the headlines in injury time, but Szczesny believes his manager's advice played its part.
"The last three penalties, I went the right way but did not save one," said the goalkeeper. "So he gave me some advice. He told me not to move my feet too early and go as late as I can. And it worked.
"It is hard to take stick for not saving a penalty because you are not supposed to save a penalty. He put a little pressure on me but it worked so I can't say anything.
"It is just sheer desire to get up and make the second save. A penalty save does not mean anything if they score from the rebound. You just have to do your best to get up and make that second save.
"I think he scuffed the finish, which made it a bit easier. But it was an enjoyable moment."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

The key facts in relation to these championships are:- As is usually the case at the end of each quadrennium, these championships would be the final competition for many of the participants, including in this case, Boitano, Orser, Witt, Manley, Thomas, Valova & Vasiliev, and Bestemianova & Bukin Kurt Browning lands the first ever ratified 4T in his LP Brian Boitano followed up his 1988 Olympic win, by winning his 2nd and final world title. Brian Orser was the defending world champion coming into this competition. However, he finished 5th in the compulsories and 2nd in the short program, thereby leaving himself with far too much to do to catch Boitano (who led entering the free skate). Hence, despite winning the free skate section with an excellent long program, which earned him three 6.0's, Orser finished 2nd overall again. Boitano attempted a 4T in his FS, but had a step out on a 2 footed landing. Katerina witt ended her amateur career at these championships by winning her 4th world title (to add to her 2 Olympic titles). Her nemesis throughout her career had been the compulsories, and low finishes in that section had cost her both the 1982 and 1983 world titles (that is, her scores in the SP & FS were such that she would have won those world titles had there been no compulsories). However, unusually, in these championships, she actually won the compulsories, and a 2nd placed finish in the SP (won by Thomas), meant that she led going into the LP. She then won the FS section with her Carmen LP, to take the title. Ekaterina Gordeeva was ill with a head cold during these championships. However, Gordeeva & Grinkov managed to lead entering the LP. Nevertheless, during the FS, Ekaterina fell on a throw triple salchow, which allowed Valova & Vasiliev to overtake them and take the title Bestemianova & Bukin win their 4th consecutive world title, to add to their 1988 Olympic title.

Possible sinkhole at North Marion High School
Published: Wednesday, March 6, 2013 at 4:31 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 6, 2013 at 4:31 p.m.
SPARR — North Marion High School canceled a few home sporting events on Wednesday afternoon after a possible sinkhole was discovered on the baseball field.
The hole, which officials are calling a "depression" pending further investigation, is near a sprinkler head in left field.
Robert Knight, supervisor of facilities, said school safety officials will dig into the ground near the hole Thursday to see if it is a full-blown sinkhole. If it is, Knight said, the district may have to order a geological survey of the area.
Because of the unknown nature of the hole, and not knowing how far underground it may go, North Marion also canceled the softball game on a nearby field.

I'd like to know if I need to sand down the trashcan armor plates & my Rubies Jango helmet before I apply primer & start spraypainting everything up into the color scheme that I'd like?
What'll the finished spray paint job look like in the end if I do sand down all the plastic parts 1st, compared to if I don't sand?
If I sand everything down, including my PVC gauntlet parts, will the primer & spraypaint fill in all the scratches up evenly or do I need to apply a thin layer of bondo over all the sanded down scratches so the paint will go on smoothly?
I'd like to have an almost car-like glossy finish on my armor so I'm not sure if I can get that after sanding, I'm such a newb when it comes to paint...:confused

Success, Envy and Glenn Beck
posted at 11:57 am on March 15, 2010 by The Other McCain
Allah headlined this Howard Kurtz column about resentment within Fox News toward Glenn Beck:
With his celebrity fueled by a Time cover story, best-selling books, cheerleading role at protest rallies and steady stream of divisive remarks, Beck is drawing big ratings. But there is a deep split within Fox between those — led by Chairman Roger Ailes — who are supportive, and many journalists who are worried about the prospect that Beck is becoming the face of the network. . . .
Beck has become a constant topic of conversation among Fox journalists, some of whom say they believe he uses distorted or inflammatory rhetoric that undermines their credibility.
You can read the whole thing, but none of this would be news if Beck's show was boring and nobody watched it. Only because Beck is successful — in the only way way TV measures success, ratings — is he "a constant topic of conversation among Fox journalists."
Jealous much?
Let us begin by admitting the "feature, not a bug" aspects of Beck's personality: He is emotional, dramatic and impulsive, occasionally prone to leaping before looking, as happened recently when he attacked Dutch leader Geert Wilders and, most memorably, got cross-wise with the Boss Emeritus over Eric Massa's accusations.
OK, so Beck can be wrong and when he's wrong, it looks bad for Fox News. On the other hand . . . Geraldo Rivera.
Why am I suspicious that Geraldo is among those "Fox journalists" most worried about Beck's impact on their "credibility"?
Beck's weaknesses and his strengths are part of a package, a very successful package, and if he wasn't successful, these backbiting criticisms wouldn't be filling up a Howard Kurtz column. Beck has been tremendously valuable in encouraging the Tea Party movement. Go to a Tea Party rally and start asking people what they think of Glenn Beck — they love the guy.
Beck is by his own admission a political autodidact. He was a Top 40 DJ who didn't really pay that much attention to politics and history until he got into talk radio, and so he brings to his Fox show a certain innocent enthusiasm that is disdained by serious professional journalists. OK, we get that, and we also get Jonathan Chait's point at the New Republic:
Kurtz doesn't quite put it this way, but I think the unstated worry is that Beck is too erratic and uncontrollable, and could one day blow up at Fox and the GOP and bring his audience with him.
Some of those worries may be legitimate, but at the same time, to what extent are Kurtz's anonymous sources at Fox just trying to sabotage a rising star of whom they are envious?
Being a print-journalism guy by profession, I've never had a particularly high esteem for the perpetrators of TV news, in general. TV is an entertainment medium, and Beck is successful at Fox because he is entertaining.
Worry-warts are making too big a deal of his "erratic" nature. Heck, that's a major reason people watch Beck — he is exciting precisely because he is unpredictable. If Beck is going to get whacked at Fox, he should be whacked for what he's actually done, rather than because of some worry-wart's fear of what he might do.

Financial services leaders must manage the uncertainty of proposed governmental tax changes and financial regulations by introducing agility and strategic what-if scenarios to their project planning. These uncertain macroeconomic factors require agility - the ability to pick good projects and execute them effectively and efficiently, as well as to develop methods for going beyond the reactionary and toward strategic decision-making.
This whitepaper explores how Project Portfolio Management (PPM) can help financial institutions become more agile and to execute on strategy, which will drive down costs, minimize risk and deliver results to key stakeholders.

About 6 years agoI bought a ameetek arms ar15.I took it out of the closet today and a friend and I are going to the range this weekend.I looked all over this gun and it does not say what caliber it is.The lower is marked multi.My friend has both 223 or 556 ammo.Any help much appreciated.

1:9 would handle both well. 1:7 is more suited towards 5.56 but it will still fire. 223 might not have as good results but if you are aiming minute of man you will do just fine. Have fun.

".223 Remington vs. 5.56 NATO: What You Dont Know Could Hurt You"
Is firing a 5.56 NATO cartridge in your .223 Remington chambered AR15 dangerous? Or do Internet forum-ninjas and ammunition companies selling you commercial ammo instead of surplus overstate the dangers? Believe it or not, a real danger exists, and some gun owners who think they are doing the right thing may not be safe.
The 5.56 case has thicker walls to handle higher pressures, meaning the interior volume of the case is smaller than that of a .223. This will alter the loading data used when reloading 5.56 brass to .223 specs.
Some 5.56 loads have a slightly longer overall length than commercial .223 loads.

"Man needs but two things to survive alone in the woods. A blow up female doll and his trusty old AK-47" - Thomas Jefferson 1781
you have to go way way back to get a 223 chamber in an standard AR 15 --
i recall some scuttlebutt about hess/vulcan and DPMS shipping some with .223 chambers in M4 barrels as a mistake. never saw any proof of it though .
the only barrels i know of made with .223 chambers in the last 10 years are either stamped .223 or wyld -- like some target and bull barrels have the .223 chamber.
all the m4 barrels of recent years are 5.56 chamber--
i have seen quite a few 5.56 fired from .223 chambers mostly m855 --didn't see nothing out of the ordinary.
i don't think i would put mk-262 loads in a semi 223 or hornady superformance either --
none of the russian made ammo is loaded anywhere near 5.56 pressure all of it is 223 , they mark it 5.56 to help it sell.
4th--your link says it all "millions of rounds of 5.56 have been fired in SAMMI .223 chambers with out failure."
unless is is some really hot ammo that is loaded long - like mk262 -you should be able to shoot it in a .223 chamber without any problems.

About Carrie Underwood
In May of 2005, Carrie Underwood became the fourth winning contestant on the hugely popular TV show American Idol. Seemingly within seconds her first single was released, "Inside Your Heaven." Underwood has all the makings of a classic ballad belter, with an extremely powerful voice and a gift for emotiveness but her music seems geared towards the country crowd more than the teen crowd of fellow winner Kelly Clarkson or the contemporary R&B of Reuben Studdard, the show's second winner. But Idol wasn't Underwood's only outlet for musical championship. Her debut long player Some Hearts went 6X Platinum and broke Nielson SoundScan history as the fastest selling debut country album. She has since taken home five Billboard Music Awards, four American Music Awards, two Grammys and Female Vocalist Of The Year awards for 2006 and in 2007, shortly after the release of her critically acclaimed sophomore album Carnival Ride.

Another well-deserved honor: Oeschger medal awarded to Michael Mann
As many will have already heard, our colleague, RC co-founder and friend Michael Mann will receive the Oeschger medal from the European Geosciences Union this week in Vienna. We are delighted to announce this and to congratulate Mike.
Hans Oeschger was a Swiss scientist originally trained as a nuclear physicist. His name is well known in climate science, especially because of his discovery, with Willi Dansgaard, of the Dansgaard-Oeschger events (the rapid climate changes during the last glacial period, first observed in Greenland ice cores). He was even better known in the radiocarbon research community as famously having developed one of the first instruments (the "Oeschger counter") for measuring carbon-14. This paved the way for determining the age of very small organic materials, including samples from deep-sea sediment cores, which eventually led to the validation of the Milankovitch theory of ice ages. Oeschger and his colleagues in Bern were the first to measure the glacial-interglacial change of atmospheric CO2 in ice cores, showing that atmospheric concentrations of CO2 during the glacial period was 50% lower than the pre-industrial concentration, a result predicted by Arrhenius nearly a century earlier. Oeschger may thus be credited with work that was critical to validating two of the most important theories in science: the role of CO2 in climate change, and the role of changes in the earth's orbit. Oeschger was also an accomplished musician, and was known to join colleagues in playing chamber music at the International Conference on Radiocarbon.
Oeschger left rather large shoes to fill, and it is a great honor for Mike Mann to win an award bearing Oeschger's name. Most everyone will probably assume that the award is for Mike's well known "hockey stick" work. No doubt this is part of it, but the Oeschger award has never been given simply for the publication of one study, but rather for a career's-worth of outstanding achievements. Most of the previous medalists are a good deal more senior than Mike Mann, and include paleoceanographer Laurent Labeyrie, limnologist Francoise Gasse, ice core pioneers Dominique Raynaud and Sigfus Johnsen and number of other major names in the climate and paleoclimate research, including RC's own Ray Bradley.

My personal rule of thumb is first week NO exercise at all, crated or leashed at all times and under constant surveillance. The second week I allow a tiny bit of freedom, if they can roam without running or jumping then I will remove the leash but they are still watched at all times, I also take them for easy walks on leash. Third week if the incision site has no swelling and is looking healed (as it should by this point) then I allow free rein to play and romp but still check it a few times a day to ensure they're not overdoing it. By 4 weeks it should be 95% healed and back to normal
In the meantime you can use frozen raw bones (freezing makes it last longer) I use knuckle or marrow. Stuffed kongs that are frozen (kibble and wet food are my go to though I switch it up with peanut butter, yogurt, etc). Also use mind games (puzzles, easy obedience). A fun game is the cup game (like the pea game for humans but changed up for dogs) using a few plastic cups and some treats.
When can he resume full exercise?
Loki has been neutered at 11 months old and is having his stitches out on Thursday. I was wondering when he can resume full exercise as he has so much pent up energy and it's becoming almost impossible to stop him from jumping and running around the house.
When is the wound fully healed?

Posted by James Staten on February 28, 2013
This week at the VMware Partner Exchange, CEO Pat Gelsinger and his executive staff decided to demonize Amazon Web Services and their public cloud brethren in a very short sighted defensive move that frankly betrays the fact that they don't understand the disruption they are facing. Pat, you and your market have the Innovator's Dilemma, and the enemy isn't public cloud but private clouds.
According to CRN's article on the event, Gelsinger was quoted as saying, ""We want to own corporate workloads. We all lose if they end up in these commodity public clouds. We want to extend our franchise from the private cloud into the public cloud and uniquely enable our customers with the benefits of both. Own the corporate workload now and forever."
Forgive my frankness, Mr. Gelsinger, but you just don't get it. Public clouds are not your enemy. And the disruption they are causing to your forward revenues are not their capture of enterprise workloads. The battle lines you should be focusing on are between advanced virtualization and true cloud services and the future placement of Systems of Engagement versus Systems of Record.

Update, June 4, 2014:
The Eagle is Ready to Fly to Coop! The eagle rescued on May 13, 2014 in a joint effort by LFD, Parks and Recreation, Polk County Animal Control, Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission, and others has garnered quite the following. Wildlife lovers are eager to know how the rescued eagle has come along and we have some exciting news to share…
On Friday, June 6, 2014 the American Bald Eagle, pictured below, will be released into the wild. The little fellow has healed up nicely according to his caretakers at animal rescue organization Woodland Wonders (www.woodlandwonders.org), an organization that works closely with FWC to rehabilitate injured wildlife.
The 7.6 lbs eagle had no fractures but did have some abrasions on its left wing. He was medicated for soreness and bruising. Over the past few weeks he has resumed eating well and regular activities like flying, so caretakers feel confident that he is ready to return to the wild.
The release event will take place at Lakeland's Holloway Park at 2402 Linden Ave at 9:00 AM.
Lakeland Fire Department crews played a big role in saving the eagle and will be in attendance to commemorate the special moment.
Lakeland --- At approximately 7:00 AM, the Lakeland Fire Department (LFD) responded to a unique call for help to rescue an American Bald Eagle that had become entangled in wire and trapped in a pine tree behind 3902 Cheverly Drive West, Lakeland FL.
The bald eagle, who homeowners say is a resident, is often seen perching on trees near and around the lake at the center of the community. The eagle tangled its left wing in a wire-like material that was attached to the tree. The tree hangs over the water of the lake bank it sits on. The specific material of the wire the eagle was caught in is unconfirmed; however it was not fishing line.
The eagle, exhausted from its attempts to flee had grown exhausted and in the process caused damage to its left wing. The homeowners at the property called for assistance and in the process a cooperative rescue effort was formed with city and state agencies. In addition to the Lakeland Fire Department's Battalion Chief and crew from Engine 21 others lending a hand included City of Lakeland Parks and Recreation crew members, biologists with the Fish and Wildlife Commission, Polk County Animal Control, several volunteers from local birding and wildlife groups, and residents from the community.
Parks and Recreation crew members securely climbed the pine tree and were able to successfully cut the eagle loose while Battalion Chief Mike Williams navigated a kayak directly underneath the tree on the lake to retrieve the eagle using a fishing net to retrieve the fallen bird. This was well planned prior to execution and rescue personnel were in place prior to any attempt at cutting the wire free. Additionally the Fish and Wildlife Commission's biologist and PC Animal Control representative were waiting ashore to provide immediate assistance. The rescue was a success.
Once ashore rescuers were able to secure the eagle that will be rehabilitated by Fish and Wildlife Commission officials before being released back into the wild.
In unique situations like these, LFD is often called to assist due to the specialized equipment and training the emergency response personnel is prepared with.
Additional photos of the rescue can be found on LFD's Facebook page at www.facebook.com/lakelandfd.

Has anyone made their own electric wire embedder.
best bet is the embedding transformer sold by kelley:
$35 gets you a proper transformer mounted in a box with a power cord and 2 leads designed to safely and effectively embed foundation.
The current required will depend on the size of the wire, length of the wire, and material that the wire is made of that you are embedding.

Timing is a funny thing.
Not funny ha-ha. But funny-strange.
You can time a dish in the oven to perfection, you can catch the train right before the doors close, you can be in the right place at the right time with the right person.
You can also burn a batch of cookies, have similar train doors slammed in your face, miss opportunities, or get pooped on by a bird. (Which, I can tell you from experience, actually does fall into the funny ha-ha category.)
It's all a matter of timing.
I guess what makes it funny (non-ha-ha) is that we can't control it. Things happen when they happen and we can't do much about it, other than use our own time wisely.
We can put time into hanging with the people we love, caring for ourselves, and into the goals we want to achieve.
But cooking in summer? Well, ain't nobody got time for that.

Zola Jesus
In 2009, Zola Jesus became one of the most talked and blogged-about underground artists, and her release and touring schedule reflected that: along with the full-length The Spoils, she also released the Tsar Bomba EP on Troubleman, New Amsterdam on Sacred Bones, and an untitled, limited-edition vinyl album and a split release with Burial Hex on Aurora Borealis. For her live band, she recruited her cousin Dead Luke to play synths, bassist Lindsay Mikkola, and drummer Max Elliott. Nika also played in the group Former Ghosts, which featured Xiu Xiu's Jamie Stewart and Freddy Ruppert. She remained just as busy in 2010, touring with Fever Ray and the xx and releasing the cleaner-sounding Stridulum, Stridulum II, and Valusia EPs.
The following year she collaborated with Prefuse 73 on The Misanthrope Meditation Mix and released her third full-length, Conatus, which found Nika continuing to move away from her lo-fi roots and toward experimental electronic pop. Toward the end of the Conatus tour, Nika was asked to perform at New York's Guggenheim Museum, an event for which she collaborated with Foetus' J.G. Thirlwell, who provided arrangements for the Mivos Quartet. These string-based renditions were captured in 2013's Versions. For her fourth album, 2014's Taiga, Nika moved to Mute Records. Named after the Russian word for "forest," she wrote and recorded the album on Washington State's verdant Vashon Island and mixed it in Los Angeles with longtime collaborator Dean Hurley. ~ Heather Phares

It looks great, again, happy it all worked out for you and have a great holiday season as well.
|Just wanted to give you an update. I sprayed the rest of the white on the 56 today. It covered with 2 coats like it should and turned out great. I attached a picture it really turned out well. Thanks again for the help and information. Happy Holidays to you and your family as well.

Excellent, there are many PPG products that I've become fond of and that other major brands don't have in their arsenal...Like the Vibrance Collection, Radiance and Liquid Crystal. All it takes is one jobber to not honor or respect his customer to do irreparable damage. Kudos to your jobber for stepping up. Just on a side note...did you mention that you asked about your problem on this forum? It would be interesting to know.
As far as the rep goes that told you it was because of lowering VOC's, well that sticks in my craw somewhat but I'm young enough to get over it...I hope he's young enough to learn that what he said was a stupid, un-thought out comment and should be chastised for being an idiot. Sorry for coming down on the individual but if he makes an off the cuff comment like that, he better be able to back it up...and stupidity is pretty hard to support.
I feel I'm fairly knowledgeable as well...but understand that the day I stop learning is the day I stop breathing and always have room to learn more and improve.
Again, thanks for starting the thread and hope you and your family have a great holiday season.
|Yes my supplier had enough integrity to replace the paint free of charge and even included reducer to replace what was used in the bad mix. Thanks again to both of you for your help I deeply appreciate it. I am experienced but I do know that there is always someone who knows more than I do
|69 widetrack
No need to feel that you jumped the gun, I for one appreciate that you made people aware of a problem and if more end user's did the same thing it may keep manufacturer's more honest...As Barry K mentioned in a previous post, not all major manufacturer's are honest 100% of the time....Thank you and i am happy that your situation was resolved.
I did get a reply from one of the emails I sent out last night to someone that may have been able to shed some light on this situation and the individual that replied had no knowledge of the situation that you had mentioned. I do believe this person and it may have been a local problem...but unless these problems are exposed, some people may continue to use a product and believe whatever comes out of a reps mouth without any verification...In any case, you have been told something that wasn't the truth. The lowering of VOC's did not cause the paint to not cover well...I hope the jobber replaced the paint that you purchased with the defective "Binder"?????
All the best to you and Thank You for posting.
|Oh and for the 3-4 month timeline, I had them pull up all the paint I had purchased in that period. All of them were metallic colors and were noted highly transparent so like I stated earlier I guess I just jumped the gun a little bit when this white would not cover. Appologies and gratitude extended
|Ok guys I appreciate all of the responses and maybe this will help with things. My supplier, like I said is one of the large franchise stores. Apparently after getting several complaints from just about everyone, they and a couple other of their named stores in the area started to check up on some things. Turns out they claim to have a binder problem. All of the stores in question received a shipment of mixing supplies around the same time and apparently they are blaming a "bad batch" of binder. I did not get clarification if it was real old or what the suspected problem was, but I did get a new mix of paint from the same supplier in the same brand and color and it is covering like normal. So I appologize if I ruffled any feathers about PPG. When I compared the new mix to the old there was quite a difference in the in can appearance and a big difference in the spray out and flash. When I opened the original color today it had been sitting for 2 days untouched. It looked like it had been sitting for years on a shelf, the pigment was all scattered in the can in a maze of milky liquid........ So I dont know maybe they are BSing me but whatever the problem was is not happening with the mix they gave me today. Thanks again for all the information
|69 widetrack
|OK Barry re-read and your talking about a base coat....Sorry
|69 widetrack
|I think I know the paint...was it an acrylic enamel?
Very interesting about no price increase...is that for all the majors or just PPG? I was a rep for many years and no price increase would be a first, to my memory an annual price increase was like Easter, it comes every year, just not on the same calender date...is this a push for everybody switching to water born? A product that the refinish companies have a great deal of money invested into launching and are hoping that universal government legislation will make it mandatory....In Canada we had many end dates for solvent based products postponed and postponed until finally January 1 2011 it became reality.[/QUOTE]
Ray, I don't remember when this started but I want to say about 15 years ago, one major did it first in the USA and the base that I really liked went from two coat coverage to 3-6 and when you *****ed, the book response given to the jobbers was, then buy our premium line. That company in a short time probably lost 30% market share real fast BUT, then the others followed.
Bean counters, do not paint!
|69 widetrack
Agree with everything you said Barry...I've spent some time thinking about this and can't see 3 different suppliers doctoring a product to improve a bottom line....and for a rep to say that it's because of lowering VOC's and still using the same reducer???? I've used Pro Spray and again, your right...it sprays well, respectable coverage and I'd almost say it's the AMC of the automotive refinish world....it has all the same problems that the big guys have, just not the following of die hard customers...yet.
Very interesting about no price increase...is that for all the majors or just PPG?

Kind of funny but talking to 50-130 people a day on the tech line, I hear the same thing with coverage on all the brands.
Let me just add two things for you to think about.
1) making a base coat, 50-90% of the cost depending on the color is the cost of tint. Cut back 10% on the tint and it goes right to the bottom line as profit and the best part, no price increase was announced.
2) It is not your jobber as it would be suicide for him to add extra binder, only thing they could really do is cut the volume in the can 5-10% and hope you don't notice, for extra profit.
3) The Voc answer is pure BS, to meet the lower VOC's you will find those paints are normally thicker and a change of solvents.
If I was looking for the best bang for the dollar as a shop, I would be looking at the following.
Metal Lux
Transtar low VOC.
All of these have been time tested and matches like any other paint line, good but like all lines you will always have a few colors that don't cut it.
|And let me correct myself, I said local PPG rep. I think it was the PPG rep. I talked to the supplier and he called someone and transferred me to who he referred to as "the rep" and we had a converstaion over the phone. Now that I think of it the man I spoke with may very well have been the comany rep for the supplier. I will try to get a contact number or email for the PPG rep and get back with you on that response. I appologise for any confusion but this just occured to me and I wanted to clarify myself and not falsely acuse anyone.
|Yes, we have changed nothing about the paint, reducers, clear, primer, or the process we go through when painting. The supplier is the same etc., nothing has changed except the coverage of the paint.
|69 widetrack
|The one thing that I can't understand is if your using the same DT line of reducers and your using twice as much paint, how is the PPG rep justifying it by saying that you have less coverage because of PPG lowering VOC's...It doesn't make any logical sense...you are using the same reducers, correct?

DHS killer given death sentence
A Desert Hot Springs gang member was given the death sentence this morning for the murder of a U.S. Marine and a teenager in 1994.
INDIO, Calif. - A Desert Hot Springs gang member was given the death sentence this morning after being convicted of killing a U.S. Marine and a teenager.
Emilio Manuel Avalos, 35, was convicted in September of the Dec. 19, 2001, slaying of 20-year-old Marine Cpl. Henry Lozano and the Dec. 21, 1994, shooting death of 17-year-old Jahi Collins.
At the end of the penalty phase of the trial in November, the jury recommended the death penalty, and Riverside Superior Court Judge James S.
Hawkins today uphold the recommendation.
Avalos was also convicted of the attempted murder of Collins' friend, Bobby Wilson, who was left paralyzed in the 1994 shooting at Wardman Park in
Desert Hot Springs.
During closing arguments in the penalty phase of trial, Deputy District Attorney Pete Nolan wiped tears from his eyes while asking jurors to picture what Lozano's last moments were like. He said Avalos killed Lozano as he left
the Desert Hot Springs residence of his girlfriend, whom Avalos had dated.
Nolan said there would never be closure for the victims' families and friends.
"Jahi and Henry are not statistics. These crimes were absolutely devastating to these families," he said.
Defense attorney David Macher, in his unsuccessful effort to secure a
recommendation of life in prison, said that his client's worst acts "are not
his entire life." He asked the jurors to feel sympathy not just for the
victims' families, but also for Avalos' family.
Avalos and other gang members shot at Collins and Wilson as they sat in a car in the park after they met two girls.
A judge consolidated the Lozano and Collins murder cases in 2007. The law allows combining separate crimes when they are of the same type or have
similar attributes, according to John Hall of the Riverside County District
Attorney's Office. He said both shootings reflected a distinctive method of
operation and produced evidence pointing to Avalos.

First things first, I googled this however I didn't find anything. To be honest, I am not quite sure what my key words should be.
What I am trying to achieve is access a site through it's IP address rather than its URL. For example - I won't open google with google.com, but rather with http://126.96.36.199 . So far so good. However, most sites have shared hosting. So that 1 IP address is hosting multiple web pages. From what I found out from google and from some personal 'tests' they mostly work on the principle:
http://IPaddress/~user , where user is usually 8 letters/digits.
So here is where my question stands - is it possible and if yes, how can I find the "user" so that I can access the site this way?
Thanks in advance for any input.
Sorry for the links, didn't realise they were inappropriate.
However, until when will all my actions be moderated? This topic took like 5 days to get approved :/ I almost forgot I posted it. And due to that delay the topic is now on page 2 (despite actually being approved yesterday/today) where almost no one will look :|

Information has become the essential ingredient to success in the increasingly cutthroat hospitality industry. However, actionable data cannot be properly amassed - let alone leveraged - without the implementation of sophisticated business intelligence systems that enable enterprise-wide data gathering, storage, analysis and communication.
"In providing timely data, business intelligence tools enable management to sense and respond to changing business conditions, forestall potential business problems, outpace the competition, and give customers what they need and want," explains Daniel J. Connolly, Ph.D., associate professor of IT and electronic commerce at the School of Hotel, Restaurant and Tourism Management, University of Denver. "Simply put, they are competitive weapons that let management and staff 'work smarter, not harder.'"
Reaching Customers
For some restaurant operators and hoteliers, business intelligence solutions now comprise the key to identifying opportunities for competitive positioning and new product, promotion and service offerings. Such is the case with Maryville, Tenn.-based restaurant chain Ruby Tuesday, which has just begun using Micros Systems (www.micros.com) tools to identify customer ordering and visitation patterns. With the system in place, the company can determine, for example, which members of its loyalty card program order both appetizers and entrees, which patrons order just one or the other, who purchases dessert and/or wine, and the like. Promotions can then be designed and targeted accordingly; for instance, the chain might use a two-for-one offer to entice an appetizer fan to give the entrees a try.
Business intelligence also allows Ruby Tuesday to pinpoint those program members who haven't recently visited one of its restaurants, and lure them back with a coupon good for a free appetizer or dessert. "By knowing where our customers spend their money and therefore what they want, we can truly maximize the 4 percent of sales we spend on marketing every year," asserts Nick Ibrahim, senior vice president and CIO.
Getting Proactive
Other hospitality industry players utilize business intelligence systems as a linchpin for isolating and, in turn, proactively addressing business and customer relationship issues. In some cases, tools are being used to discern exactly why performance and/or cost metrics aren't being satisfied. For example, a hotel chain whose laundry expenditures appear out of kilter might enlist a business intelligence application to compare laundry chemical costs across multiple properties and create a ratio to occupied rooms to see the comparative cost-per-occupied room for this expense. Alternatively, it could employ the tool to establish a correlation between laundry facility staffing and chemical costs or to learn which if any hotels run too many half-loads through the laundry process.
Using business intelligence tools from UniFocus (www.unifocus.com), The Peabody Orlando in Orlando, Fla., zeros in on guests' specific rationales for noting, on comment cards, that they will never return to the hotel. Management then drills down to find the root cause of the problem.
"Suppose the system tells us the guest was upset about not being assigned the type of room he wanted," says Marshall Kelberman, director, rooms administration. "We see who assigned the room and whether it's a pattern for that employee, or if it's something else entirely. If it's an employee, we correct it with training. And in all cases, we go back to the customer and explain how we're preventing the problem from happening again." The latter, Kelberman states, permits the hotel to recover approximately $10,000 per month in potential lost guest revenue.
Similarly, at Konover Hotel Corp., West Hartford, Ct., business intelligence software from Aptech Computer Systems (www.aptech-inc.com) serves as an engine for analyzing labor and other expense trends both regionally and by property. The system generates analysis reporting that shows how these costs, as well as such factors as turn-aways and weather, affect the overall performance outlook at each of the company's 19 hotels. "We're assessing performance on a nearly real-time basis and, as such, can quickly make and implement informed decisions - whether it's adjusting staffing or implementing a program to recoup lost revenue, " observes Peter H. Mason, CHA, executive vice president at Konover.
Streamlining the Process
End-users are finding that truly reaping the benefits of business intelligence necessitates selecting tools that present "cause-and-effect" results rather than just static data. It also means resisting the temptation to produce so much data that real knowledge of critical issues is difficult to discern. "Pulling excessive amounts of data and getting sucked into over-analysis is one of the worst mistakes you can make with business intelligence and can put a huge crimp in your investment," Connolly warns.
Chevy Chase, Md.-based Ritz-Carlton Hotel Corp. avoids "analysis paralysis" by using an internal failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) tool to analyze all of its business intelligence data together, rather than "analyzing each separately and looking for golden threads," notes Sarah Santaella, corporate director, quality assurance. The FMEA pulls together defect data from all the company's quality assurance sources, such as scores scanned from guest comment cards, mystery shopper feedback and a home-grown customer relationship management system.
Every month, a data cube created by UniFocus' business intelligence tools takes approximately 15,000 pieces of data from Ritz-Carlton's quality assurance sources and organizes them into the FMEA. Each reported defect has an assigned severity rank and a "detectability rating." Based on these two factors and the frequency with which it appears in the data cube, the system calculates the risk to the company posed by that defect.
"Determining what defects are occurring most frequently, what their impact is on guest loyalty, and how effective our problem detection systems are makes it easy to prioritize our efforts in eliminating the defects that put our hotels at the most risk," Santaella says. Customer engagement scores have risen by seven points since 2004, when the system was first implemented.
Ensuring consistency of data from store to store or hotel to hotel is equally critical, points out Tom Matson, vice president of IT at the Shari's restaurant chain in Beaverton, Oregon. Shari's is currently rolling out Decision Logic's (www.decisionlogic.com) business intelligence tools in all 99 of its stores; 14 units have gone live with the system to date. The chain uses the software to mine its POS data to determine the volume of ingredients it is using and to generate orders in accordance with pre-set levels.
"We look at this not as a tool for reducing our food costs, but for better managing them by identifying specific problems and keeping our food costs down despite a rise in commodity prices," Matson observes. "For example, if we see that something is 'off' in one store's use of cheddar cheese, we can tell store management to look at the cheddar cheese issue - not the dairy issue as a whole." He notes that this would not be possible had Shari's neglected to make certain that item numbers did not vary between its stores.


text: I haven't read the entire thread or all the news articles but I don't get why everyone assumes that this nurse committed suicide or did so because of this prank call. This kind of stuff follows celebrities wherever they go (hotels, hospitals etc.). I'm sure the staff gets schooled on it whenever they have VIP's registered. That this particular staff got taken in isn't something to die over. I get that hospitals have rules. It could have been an employer, insurance co, or a hostile attorney making the call, but it wasn't in this case. I'm not sure why they would give the information out to anyone, Kate is an adult, and she wasn't unconscious was she? Let her tell her family how she is doing. Someone got uber excited to be talking to the queen.

Hey, I've been wanting to get a decent starter mountain bike for a while now.
I came across a specialized rockhopper for $175.
Here is a link to the specs... http://www.specialized.com/us/en/bc/...005&spid=20862
So what do you guys think? Is it worth it?
Edit - looks like it may be an 04 model. The seller is sending me pictures tonight so I will know later for sure. He gave specs for the 04, but discribed a paint scheme from 02. Oh well... We'll see.
