Hi everyone,
Here are a few pix of my daughter's clone armor. The helmet and blaster are from Toys R us, the body armor is vac-formed. Constructive comments welcome. This is my first time working with vac formed armor. Please be kind. :D
Looks good to me.
It looks very good. :)
Biceps are turned wrong :)
Other from that it is amazing job.
Cool dude! Good job on the vac forming!
That is awesome... would you like to adopt me? :D
Where did you get the armor from and how much? I'm taking my son with me to Celebration 5 and would like to surprise him with something like this.
Great work!
First attempt at a vac formed kit says you? Good first attempt at a vac formed kit says I.
Heres a link to my kidsclone build, it might give you some ideas. Ive fitted it to a much smaller kid (my son Jack) so I think it was actually a little easier for me than it is for you.
The knees are definately tricky. Ive tried a few things but at the end of the day, Im gonna have to do them the same as the grownup clones. Looks like the Cod was a touch over-trimmed, the thighs could come up a smidge too. (did you make a strap girdle type thingy?) When you complete the belt it should eat up some of the black undersuit showing between the ab plate and the top of the cod. You can always take some .060 plastic and extend one or the other...or both. Looks like the compad still needs to go on -that really makes that forearm pop. With the thickness of the kids kit, I found that using flexible fillers for the seamless side of the parts was really key. The buckets by this maker are really awesome too, Ive got the Ph2 bucket built and the Ph1 bucket about 40%. I love this kit! I love that there are other people like YOU out there who are going all-out on their kids costumes! If you need any help with specific problems, I am 100% there for you SH!
Miqt, you're right, I did over trim the cod piece some. The cod/butt piece are two pieces and I tried to link them together with wide white elastic with mixed results. The cutting and initial fitting went well. The legs took FOREVER! :cry Constantly trimming, trying on, trimming more trying on etc. The ab plate kept curling back into its original shape. I also added strips under the shoulder areas for extra support and added styrene to the ribcage area so the chest and back would fit better. All in all, though it was a good kit and a good bonding time with my daughter.
This year she wants to be Captain Rex. Well, as she put it, she'll be Padme Amidalla disguised as Capt. Rex to lead the troops into battle because Rex was wounded. :D
Yeah, Im not pleased with the way the calves came out for me -I found the legs fairly challenging- but good practice for my clone kit in progress.
I've got twin 4 yr olds who will eventually be fighting over this cosume when they grow into it. They are the right size now for the kids biker scout, but would'nt last long in it (wish I would have found kidsclonearmor
sooner!). We'll be bringing Jacks Kidsclone with us to C5 -are you going? Im hoping to get a pic of my kids with other costumed little ones for his
SW scrapbook. My fav. so far is him with a grownup Bly here in Toronto.
Take care,
Here are some pics of the Clone Armor I put together for my Daughter Ainsley..
She's becomeing well reconized from wearing this also..A friend is making trading cards with the photo of her as a Jedi on one side and Clone on other..
She stayed in Armor 2 full Days at SDCC..It wore really well..
Everything on this is held together with heavy duty velcro..I used bicep bands I got at sporting good store to hold on elbows and knee pieces. The thigh pieces I used foam rubber inside so that it holds firmly to her leg but does not squeeze.
Great costume! Good pix! BTW, what are bicep bands? Where do i get them? I had a lot of trouble with the cod and butt pieces popping off and she had trouble walking. My daughter walked like C3-P0 instead of a Clone trooper. :) Any suggestions?:confused
Bicept bands are about half the size if regular sweat bands..I'll take some pic and put them on here..My daughters costume held up well..she wore it 2 days straight and I made it so we could remove parts of it for her to sit or if she needed a bathroom break..The belt is the only thing that gave me any kind of fit..Oh and C5 is the Strar Wars Celebration 5 in Orlando this coming August.
As far as walking like 3PO..I just had to tell her to relax and that she wouldnt hurt it and trust it wasnt going to fall off when she walked..I also put alot of padding in the thigh pieces to reduce rubbing.
Wow, they all look really good! ^_^
Hey SH.... I give you......C5:

Panasonic's Basic Management Objective clearly expresses the purpose of our business activities as well as the purpose of our existence. Since the company's founding in 1918, this management philosophy has formed the foundation of all our business activities. As the key element of this philosophy, we have the basic concept of "the company as a public entity of society." All the management resources of a company–including the people, money, and commodities–all come from society.
While the company engages in business activities using the resources entrusted by society, it also develops along with society, and so the company's activities must be transparent, fair, and just.The entire Panasonic Group takes care to ensure that our management and business activities are appropriate for "a public entity of society," and we will continue to implement this management philosophy through manufacturing as our primary business. This is also the very essence of the Panasonic Group's sustainability. As we stand at historical turning points in many areas today–society, economy, global environment–the Panasonic Group will continue to promote sustainability management globally and to contribute to the future of society and the world by proposing the lifestyles of tomorrow.
"There is much discussion today regarding 'social responsibility,' but while the meaning of that concept can be wide-ranging depending on social conditions at a particular time, the fundamental social responsibility of a corporation, in any era, should be to improve society through its business activities. It is extremely important to manage all business activities based on this sense of mission."

Back in November 2006, a startup called Wesabe first showed the potential of online money management. Packaged personal financial management (PFM) software for PCs like Intuit's Quicken had existed for years, but Wesabe, Mint.com and a handful of other startups showed the value of using customer data, and community, to help people understand their finances better.
Since then, hundreds of banks, credit unions, wealth management firms, and other companies have launched a range of spending categorization, budgeting, peer group comparisons, and other money management features for their customers.* The leaders are increasingly making money management available in mobile and tablet apps, as well as on their websites. Fuelled by the poor state of many of the world's developed economies and growing use of digital channels, customer interest in online money management is substantial, as my colleague Reineke Reitsma wrote on her blog a few months ago.
Yet despite the growing number of firms that already offer money management, and the evident interest of some customers, many financial services eBusiness executives still question whether the business case adds up. Our new report on The Business Case For Personal Financial Management addresses that question. Here's what we found:

My polish ppsh41 parts kit arrived a few days ago. I still can't decide if I should use a hammer fired or striker fired system. Both require extensive modification to the bolt. Any pictures and advice would be appreciated.

My polish ppsh41 parts kit arrived a few days ago. I still can't decide if I should use a hammer fired or striker fired system. Both require extensive modification to the bolt. Any pictures and advice would be appreciated.
My thoughts on most SMG conversions is go with a striker system. The bolt on some of these is marginal in weight, they work fine in open bolt config because they are slamming forward when the round goes off. In addition to the weight of the bolt, the forward inertia also has to be overcome. On most hammer fired systems the bolt is being reduced in weight with a slot for hammer clearance plus you no longer have the added resistance of that forward motion. A couple of the PPs 43 conversions done here in the USA have experienced blown cases with surplus ammo, and their makers recommend not to use surplus ammo because of the problem. Kinda defeats the purpose, I think, cheap milsurp ammo is one of the major reasons for owning one.
OTOH, a striker fired system keeps most of the bolt weight there, plus the weight of the striker is added to the bolt mass when fired, along with a bit of forward momentum from the striker slamming forward and the added spring force for the striker.
I would go with the Striker. I did one with a AK FCG with an Ar15 spring. PITA I would try to keep the orginal FCG and just mod it to be semi auto only. One problem after that is the saftey because the orginal design used the handle on the bolt.
The gun works fine, but there is just not much room making the conversion hard. I'm probably going to convert it to a striker.
That's what I'm thinking, just gonna be hard to make myself saw that beautiful bolt in half to make the striker. I've seen lots of strikers and was thinking why not do it the way semi uzi's a are done with the firing pin attached to the striker? I was thinking a mosin firing pin. It just seems to me that the bolt would lose stability being cut short and this would help.
I'd leave the bolt the same length and make a new piece for the striker. The UZI design works, why not adapt it?
very true, there needs to be more info available on this build i think i'll post pics when i get it finished.
Yeah I like the Uzi Design that way the striker spring doesn't have to be as heavy. I have been thinking of how it could be used for other guns.
Funny you said that about the bolt I coulddn't do it either, but there is enough room to have the striker and bolt. I'm going to get a new lower and make a striker for it.
Rahatlakhoom used the striker system and fire control group from a VZ58 to build a semi KP-44(finish pps in 9mm)

"I was impressed with the wide selection. Also the easiness of assembling the images. User friendly and great professional results"
"This design was great! Multiple pictures can be used and the font was beautiful! Perfect was to announce the arrival of our baby girl."
"We just sent out our Birth Announcements and we are very happy with them. Tiny Prints was easy to use and we were very pleased with the quality and design of the cards. I would recommend."
"My boyfriend and I chose this card for our sons baby announcement. The quality of product is well worth the money! Made ordering through them easy and making the cards even more easy! Will definitely use them again in the future. Thanks tiny prints!!"
"The card as a whole is beautiful with rich colors printed on thick, high-quality cardstock. However, my pictures came out much darker than they previewed, so some lighting effects in the photos were lost. I'm not sure if they would've looked better on photo paper instead."

What's so good about ANY brand name product?
For me they fit and feel the most comfortable in my hands. That translates to being more likely to place my shots where I want them more "naturally" than having to train harder with something that doesn't fit so "naturally". I learned that through personal experience over 20 years of shooting handguns. I don't buy hype and marketting.
I also prefer the lack of an external safety as the internal mechanisms designed and employed in the classic SiG SA/DA action just makes more sense to me and removes at least one step from "draw to bang" compared to a 1911 or BHP for instance.
I find the asthetics of the SiG's appealing, personally. Asthetics are subjective criteria anyway so what one person finds attractive another may not and there is nothing wrong with personal preferrence. Functional, simple and without a multitude of protuberances to potentially catch and snag upon when one has to draw. Purpose built and rugged in design.
Asthetics aside, most people that like Glocks don't like SiG and vica versa. The primary reason for this is the grip to slide angle present in the frame. Adding back to the comfort mentioned earlier, The Glocks just do not feel right nor good in my hands. Don't get me started on the trigger safety thing either.
Basically it comes down to "different strokes for different folks". What works for one person may not for another and that is why I always advocate "test driving" if at all possible or at least getting as many in your hands before buying over just buying by brqand name or hype. Glocks are fine weapons as are Beretta's and so on, but I don't own any of them anymore. That said, I buy what works best for me, your decision making process may differ from mine.
Firearms are nothing more than tools when you break it down. Go ask a charpenter or framer which brand hammer they prefer. They will be specific to their needs and preferences as well as what fits most comfortably for them over brand hype, I'm willing to bet.

Why you should choose solar energy:
- The sun will continue to shine for another 4 billion years and supply free solar energy in the process.
- The amount of solar energy which reaches the earth exceeds daily requirements 10,000 to 15,000 times over.
- The sun does not produce CO2 and thus preserves the environment on two levels.
- A solar power system allows you to become self-sufficient and not be exposed to ever-increasing energy costs.
- Solar electricity is the only energy which can be produced on a local basis worldwide.
- As long transportation distances are not required, energy waste is minimised and considerable savings are made on costs.
- The sun does not depend on large corporations and undemocratic regimes.
- Solar power is harmless.
Why solar power?
The sun is the resource of the 21st century
Scarcity of resources, environmental degradation and damage to the environment are the most obvious disadvantages of oil, gas and coal. Moreover, fossil fuels, fossil fuel power stations and centralised power grids also make our society dependent on large corporations and undemocratic regimes. Such gigantic infrastructures are also far too expensive for developing countries, whatever happens. Renewable energies are thus the only way to guarantee an ecological, just energy supply in the future. Nuclear power does not provide an alternative either, as it is not only extremely hazardous, but is also actually a very expensive, finite resource which is by no means climate friendly.
The advantages of solar energy are self-evident
Sun and sand, the raw materials used to generate solar electricity, are inexhaustible. Electricity produced on rooftops will soon be cheaper than conventional electricity from a socket in the wall. Solar energy is thus well on its way to becoming the key technology for renewed economic growth and is comparable to the steam engine, the car or computer in former times.
There are no drawbacks to solar energy
Solar energy does not depend on electricity grids and fuels. It is the ideal source for a largely private, local, ecological and just electricity supply which is available anywhere. Germany is at the leading edge when it comes to expertise in this future technology.

When the sides met in January, many predicted a no-contest. However Birmingham left Emirates Stadium with a deserved point and all looked rosy on the blue part of the Midlands. Since then, however, Arsenal have notched five consecutive Premier League wins while Alex McLeish's side have plummeted to within one spot of the drop zone. With both sides desperate for points for different reasons, Saturday's early fixture is likely to be a ding-dong battle you won't want to miss. This season Arsenal.com will be identifying the key battles for each Premier League game and bringing you all the statistics and information a fan could need. Swot up now and come Sunday you'll be impressing anyone who'll listen with your new-found knowledge.
Rafael Schmitz v Emmanuel Adebayor
Rafael Schmitz, on loan from Lille, has quietly gone about his business for the Blues this season, proving a useful utility man across the back four. Boasting a wealth of Champions League and top-flight French football experience, the Brazilian-born player is a tidy customer at the back. His slightly diminutive frame does not prevent him getting stuck in, but a sound reading of the game is where his strength lies - making 23 clearances. Schmitz rarely attempts a foray into the opponents' final third, with just two successful dribbles, but has registered two assists when he does. While Emmanuel Adebayor has the same number of assists, it's goals that the Togo man specialises in - 19 this term. His exuberance and incredible work-rate ensure that only the most committed defenders can keep tabs on him for the entire 90 minutes.
Sebastian Larsson v Gael Clichy
Former Gunner Sebastian Larsson is one of many who have swapped the red of Arsenal for the blue of Birmingham in recent years. He has perhaps though been the most successful. Playing virtually every match for the Blues this term, the versatile midfielder offers a defensive edge and a danger on the front foot. Tottenham Hotspur could testify for that - the Swede rocketing a late winner at White Hart Lane earlier in the season. He has also weighed in with 20 clearances and made 29 tackles. Worringly for the rest of the Premier League, Gael Clichy continues to grow and grow with every game he plays. Equaly adept on the front foot as he is on the back, the Frenchman recently celebrated a first involvement in his country's international fixtures. Yet to score, he has though provided four assists and made 21 successful dribbles into the opposing half. Tough tackling, 39 made and just nine lost, mixed with blistering pace, Clichy is a 'wing-back' in the truest sense of the word.
Olivier Kapo v Mathieu Flamini
Frenchman Olivier Kapo arrived in the Midlands in the close season from Italian giants Juventus and immediately made a name for himself with a rasping drive in the season's curtain raiser at Stamford Bridge. Since then he has gone on to register a further four goals but has not as yet got an assist. Blessed with pace and a creativity those from Serie A often possess, he is often given a free rein across midfield and up front. He has tested the goalkeeper 19 times and shot off target on a further 11 occasions. With such an unreliable position he often escapes the shackles of the midfield anchor. Few who have come up against Mathieu Flamini this season can say that. The 23-year-old has been simply awesome for the Gunners this term making 26 tackles - most of which have been won - and assuming the tag of 'midfield general'. Even one of the most seasoned players in that position, Genarro Gattuso, was outshone when the pair clashed in midweek. Adding goals, three plus two assists, and an attacking threat recently, Flamini has become a key member of Arsenal's side.

It appears that Phil Kessel's is on the verge of signing an 8 year, $8M/yr contract with the Leafs so this is a good time to compare this contract to a couple other elite wingers who have signed contracts in the past year or so. Corey Perry and Zach Parise. I have also chosen to include Rick Nash in the discussion because he is a comparable goal scoring winger with a comparable salary even though he signed his contract several years ago. Before we get into contracts though, let's take a look at production levels by age.
In terms of goal production, both Nash and Kessel got their careers started earlier than Perry or Parise and both had their best goal production years earlier int heir careers. Kessel of course had his best goal production year playing a significant amount of time with one of the best playmakers in the league at the time, Marc Savard. He has yet to match that level in Toronto but of course he is playing with Tyler Bozak in Toronto. Aside from Perry's career year at age 25 he has generally been at or below the production level of the other three at the same age while Nash has generally been the more productive player. Note that I have removed Parise's Age 25 season as he missed the majority of the year to injury. Nash's age 20 season was lost due to a lockout. Ages are based on draft year (first season after draft year is age 18)
Not really a lot different in the points/game chart which kind of makes sense because all these players are wingers and more goal scorers than play makers. Parise once again had his peak season at age 23 while Perry again had his at age 25. Nash has maintained a little more consistency fluctuating between 0.8 and 1.0 since his age 21 season though one should remember that Nash's age 21 season was 2005-06 when goal production was inflated due to obstruction crackdown and far more power plays. Kessel appears to still be on the upswing and he has shown more play making ability with Lupul or van Riemsdyk on the other wing and the absence of a play maker at center.
*Parise's salary over the first 8 years of his contract.
Parise's salary is a little wonky as he signed his contract under the old CBA which was a back diving contract in which he earns $94M over the first 10 years and $4M over the final 3. Perry is the easiest to compare with as he is the most recent contract signing while Nash signed several years ago when the salary cap was lower. All things considered Kessel's contract is at least fairly priced if not a slight bargain.
In conclusion, even though the others may have had higher 'peak' seasons (though it is certainly possible, maybe likely, that Kessel hasn't reached his peak) it is fair to suggest that Kessel is deserving to be considered similarly talented to the other three which makes his $8M/yr salary not only fair but maybe a slight bargain.

PBS special honors 50th anniversary of the March on Washington
Tuesday, August 27, 2013
On the eve of the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, The March looks at the day in 1963 where Martin Luther King made his famous "I Have a Dream" speech and the march almost didn't happen. The program airs Tuesday, Aug. 27 at 9/8 p.m. on KET.
Unprecedented in size, the Aug. 28, 1963 massive demonstration for racial and economic equality issued a clarion call for racial justice that would help usher in sweeping civil rights legislation and a sea change in public opinion. The event, which will forever be remembered for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s stirring "I Have a Dream" speech, endures today as a symbol of unity and monumental impact.
Deploying remarkable rare archival footage, The March recounts the dramatic events that took place not only in front of the cameras but behind the scenes, revealing how one of the most important events in the Civil Rights Movement almost didn't happen, told by those who refused to back down and whose lives it forever changed.
PBS member stations, including KET, are sparking community engagement with Memories of the March, a series of video vignettes featuring first-person accounts from those who were present at the event or whose lives were impacted by the March. Make sure to watch KET's videos in the special collection on former Kentucky state senator Georgia Davis Powers and NAACP Louisville leader Raoul Cunningham.

Two key steps to minimizing the pollution potential from farm, household and shed wastes on your farm are to minimize the amount of wastes and to recycle when possible.
Some hazardous materials, such as lubricating oils or solvents for cleaning metal parts, are an unavoidable part of farm life. Take time to examine activities that involve using hazardous materials to be sure that you really need all the products you are using. Keep in mind that hazardous waste generated from farm business activities must be managed according to state and federal rules.
When you are certain that you are buying and using only essential products, consider how to use the products safely, recycle or reuse them when possible and dispose of remaining products in a way that will not pose a risk to your drinking water. A few simple management principles apply in every situation:
This category of potentially hazardous substances includes:
Due to the rural location of farms, many farmers have traditionally disposed of their wastes on-site. Common disposal methods have included open air, barrel or domestic incineration of garbage and trash or simply piling or burying trash in a ditch on the "back 40."
Health concerns, toxicity and the increased volume of waste guarantees that a new approach to disposal practices is necessary to ensure that safe drinking-water supplies are available for farm families and their neighbors.
Updated local, state and federal laws also reflect the increased concern with many disposal practices. For example, new rules require that environmentally protective conditions be met before some disposal practices are permitted.
Other previously common disposal practices are now illegal because of their potential risks to human health and the environment.
This new approach suggests several changes in traditional practices:
Household hazardous waste is excluded from hazardous-waste management regulations and often is included with regular trash disposal. But neither household hazardous waste nor hazardous waste from the farm business can be disposed of safely in a "pollution-free manner" on the farm site. If you dispose of hazardous wastes from the farm business on-site, you're violating state law.
Household quantities of hazardous wastes are exempted from regulation under state and federal law. You may dispose of these wastes safely at household hazardous-waste collection events sponsored by some communities. Small quantities of hazardous waste were banned from landfills beginning Jan. 1, 1994.
For information about locations and dates of collection events, call your regional or state Department of Natural Resources (DNR) office.
Hazardous waste from the farm business must be disposed of with a permitted hazardous-waste disposal contractor. For more information about hazardous-waste contractors, contact the hazardous-waste section of your regional or state DNR office.
Researchers estimate that ground-level concentrations of dioxin due to burning household trash in a burn barrel are 7,000 times the amount formed during trash burning in a municipal incinerator. Ash and sludge resulting from on-farm burning also contain significant amounts of toxic substances, such as lead, cadmium, chromium, dioxin and furan compounds.
Waste oil, if uncontaminated with other solvents, can be burned in a furnace designed to use oil as a fuel. Contain and dispose of any resulting ash or sludge in a licensed landfill. Waste contaminated with solvents may be a hazardous waste and, if so, must be managed properly. Check with the Missouri DNR for specifics on burning waste oils.
No specific design standards exist to adequately protect the environment from air pollution or groundwater contamination resulting from burning and ash disposal of wet trash, plastic product containers, waste oil and other hazardous products used on the farm.
The typical operation at open-burning sites, burn barrels and domestic incinerators is not adequate for burning at the temperatures required to eliminate the production of toxic substances, such as dioxin compounds, chlorine products, solvent vapors and a residue of heavy metals.
Although burning may destroy some toxic substances, others will become concentrated in the smoke, ash and sludge that result from burning wastes. Repeated burning on the same location under similar weather conditions may cause the toxic substances in smoke (especially heavy metals such as lead, mercury and arsenic) to accumulate in a concentrated area around the burn barrel. These substances, as well as the toxic substances in ash and sludge disposed of through land-spreading or burial, also could result in groundwater contamination.
Open burning of dry combustibles in small amounts is appropriate where it is permitted by local ordinance. Dry combustibles include clean, untreated, unpainted wood, paper and cardboard. Burn dry combustibles outdoors or in a well-ventilated area to minimize adverse health effects from smoke.
Do not burn empty pesticide bagsIf they must be burned, burn them well away from people, pets and farm stock because air will carry pesticide particles from the fire. Burn in small quantities and only on fields where the pesticide was applied.
Disposing of these products by dumping them on the ground or in a septic system could allow hazardous elements to leach into groundwater. If you use these products for farm business, then dispose of them on your farm, you're breaking the law. Avoid on-farm disposal of these liquids whenever possible.
(For information about proper septic-system management, see Worksheet #6 (MU publication WQ656) and Fact Sheet #6 (MU publication WQ680), Household Wastewater Treatment.
The best disposal method for these products is to use up leftovers or share unused products with others. Dispose of any remaining hazardous liquid or sludge with a hazardous-waste contractor. Dispose of solids from evaporation of latex-based products in a licensed landfill. Some products, such as paint thinners, can be filtered and reused. Other products, such as wood preservatives and lead-based paints, need to be labeled and saved for disposal by a hazardous-waste contractor or a household hazardous-waste collection program. For more information on disposal of products, contact your local MU Extension center or the Household Hazardous Waste Project. (Contacts and references section).
Because of the volume of these products used on the farm, even spills and drips can add up to a problem for groundwater. Avoid maintenance activities within 300 feet of your well. Generally, conduct maintenance in a location where you can contain spills and drips.
This category of potentially hazardous substances includes all types of pesticides and pesticide containers, including those used for indoor plants and yard care.
Handle all categories of pesticides as directed on the label to prevent health and environmental problems. Pay particular attention to pesticides classified as "restricted use." Pesticide labels and regulations concerning their use often change over time. Remember that pesticides might not have current warning labels, and some may have been banned since the time you purchased them.
The only acceptable management practices for pesticides are to use the pesticide according to current label directions or arrange for disposal with a hazardous-waste contractor. When the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) bans a pesticide, it sometimes provides a "buy-back" and disposal program for a specified time period. Pesticides purchased in mini-bulk tanks or returnable containers allow you to return excess chemical to the cooperative or retail store. For leftover pesticides you can't dispose of in any of these ways, store them safely until you can dispose of them through a community hazardous-waste collection program or a hazardous-waste contractor.
Pesticide waste includes empty pesticide containers as well as leftover pesticides. Pesticides come in mini-bulk tanks, five-gallon plastic containers or paper containers. Return mini-bulk tanks to the place of purchase when you complete application. You can return some five-gallon plastic containers to the place of purchase. Bundle paper containers and take them to a licensed solid-waste facility. Check with your local cooperative or retail store to learn whether they'll let you dispose of containers there.
If you cannot return plastic containers to the place of purchase, triple-rinse the containers, return the rinse water to the spray tank and apply, following labeled instructions. Take the rinsed containers to a licensed landfill.
Some landfills, however, because of liability concerns, will not accept even triple-rinsed containers. Triple-rinsed pesticide containers may still contain enough pesticide residue that they should not be used for any other purpose. If you cannot dispose of pesticide containers at the nearest landfill, contact your regional DNR office or the Missouri Department of Agriculture for the nearest disposal site. (Contacts and references section).
(For more detailed information about the management and storage of pesticides on the farm, see Worksheet #2 (MU publication WQ652) and Fact Sheet #2 (MU publication WQ676), Pesticide Storage and Handling.)
Solvents used for cleaning metal parts, oils and fuels may include hazardous toxic ingredients. Fortunately, good recycling opportunities exist for both solvents and waste oil. Consider contracting with a solvent recycler to rent a parts washer. Old solvents are picked up by the recycler, who gives you clean solvent. To recycle waste oil, take it to a gas station, service center or county highway department office that recycles waste oil and will take oil from farmers and homeowners. At least one such office usually exists in every county.
Solid- and hazardous-waste laws prohibit land-spreading of waste oil for dust or weed suppression. Waste oil can be burned in a certified waste-oil burner if the oil has not been contaminated with solvents or other materials. The waste-oil furnace should be placed according to building-code requirements.
Use up old fuels (leftover quantity stored for several months) whenever possible. Filter out contaminants and dilute one-part old fuel with five-parts new fuel to protect your engine. Wear protective clothing to prevent fuel from splashing on you during the procedure.
Do not dump antifreeze into your own drain if you have a septic tank. It may kill the organisms that the system depends on to break down wastes in the tank. Check your area for antifreeze recycling centers.
If you find yourself painting a lot of vehicles or other farm equipment, use a paint booth. Some booths are structured to collect excess paint and spray-gun cleaners for later disposal with a solvent recycler. Note that filters used with a paint booth must be considered a hazardous waste when discarded.
The design and location of the equipment-maintenance area is important. Some farmers use a grease pit. Others allow drips and spills to collect on the shed floor. In both cases, the area is generally "cleaned" through periodic flushing. If you prefer to keep your shed floor clean through flushing, you will need a system to hold waste liquids so that they will not be flushed onto soil. Flushing to a paved outdoor area is an acceptable method of disposal. Using sawdust to soak up drips and spills is another common practice. Evaporate volatile chemicals in a protected outdoor area with good ventilation, and take the sawdust to a licensed landfill. Burning any of these substances can produce air-emission deposits that can contaminate groundwater.
Evaporation of liquid wastes prior to flushing may take care of the problem of contaminated runoff, but it is not recommended because of air-quality concerns and the potential for liquids to seep through floor cracks. Flushing is one of many waste-management methods used in the past that should be re-evaluated to determine whether it is worth the risks of environmental contamination.
You sometimes may have leftover or used chemicals, such as waste oil and solvents, that need to be stored until disposal. Place the storage area for these chemicals and their wastes at least 300 feet from your well. Dike storage areas to prevent well contamination from spills if the volume of the stored products and wastes exceeds 10 gallons.
Store chemicals in clearly labeled containers designed to contain that hazard category (flammables, poisons or corrosives). Provide a well-ventilated area away from sources of heat, spark or flame, with sturdy shelving for storing labeled containers in the building where you commonly use them. When choosing the storage location, keep indoor air quality, safety and flammability in mind. Be sure that the area is adequately vented to prevent buildup of fumes from leftover products. As a rule, if you can smell your products, ventilation is inadequate to protect your health. Also, be sure that the storage area provides a means to segregate flammables, explosives, poisons and corrosive wastes to minimize accidental release due to chemical interactions. Make sure storage is inaccessible to children.
Collect hazardous wastes generated in the course of maintaining farm equipment, such as solvents and parts washer solution, and place in closed containers. Label the containers with the words "hazardous waste," the name of the waste and the date the waste was put into the container.
Hazardous wastes generated from household vehicle maintenance should be stored safely until they can be taken to a household hazardous-waste collection site. Evaporation of household hazardous wastes is not recommended because of the potential for spills, contact by children and fire. Use evaporation only when no household hazardous-waste collection program is available. If you're not sure whether a particular waste is hazardous, contact the hazardous-waste section of your regional or state DNR office or Household Hazardous Waste Project office, MU Extension.
When storing wastes and products outside, especially liquids, place them on bermed surfaces built of materials that will contain any spills. For example, you may store batteries in a plastic-lined area, but some solvents could dissolve a plastic liner. Spilled solvents also may penetrate concrete or asphalt if they are not cleaned up quickly.
Store flammable chemicals and batteries in an area shaded from direct sunlight. Rags used to clean up solvent spills also may be a fire hazard. Store them with the same care as hazardous materials, such as in fireproof containers in a storage area. Dispose of as hazardous material.
Inspect all storage areas regularly for spills or leaks, proper labeling and to see that containers are in good condition, closed and not bulging. For more information on proper storage methods, contact the hazardous-waste section of your state or regional DNR office or Household Hazardous Waste Project office, MU Extension.
Disposing of hazardous wastes from farms is regulated under federal and state law.
RCRA (Resource Conservation and Recovery Act) Subtitle D provides restrictions for land burial of trash that doesn't fall into hazardous-waste categories. Open burning and on-farm incineration of trash and on-farm burial of containers and other trash are regulated in Missouri under the Solid Waste Law.
Under federal hazardous-waste regulations, farms may be considered "conditionally exempt." (States use terms to refer to categories of waste generators that may not be the same as federal terms. Contact the Missouri DNR for more information.) An operation is "conditionally exempt" if it accumulates less than 2.2 pounds of acutely hazardous waste or less than 220 pounds of hazardous waste per month. "Conditionally-exempt" operations are not required to get an EPA identification number or a manifest form for disposal, but they still must deliver their wastes to a licensed hazardous-waste facility.
"Acutely hazardous" and "hazardous" wastes are listed in federal and state regulations. Aldicarb and heptachlor, for example, are acutely hazardous pesticides.
A word of caution: Because some pesticides commonly used by farmers are listed as acutely hazardous waste in federal statutes, farmers with leftover pesticides may not be "conditionally exempt." Farmers who accumulate more than 2.2 pounds of acutely hazardous waste need to get an EPA identification number and use the manifest system to dispose of those wastes.
In Missouri, these conditionally exempt generators are designated as small-quantity generators and are regulated by state law.
Disposal of veterinary medical wastes might present a problem on some farms. Ask your veterinarian for advice on specific wastes (such as antibiotic containers). DNR regional offices provide information about regulations that might affect medical-waste disposal.

Between the two (M10 or M11) I think the M11 is a better option if only because of all the accessories you can get that will really improve the shootability.
When I got my one and only MG, I was also leaning toward a MAC but ended up buying a Stemple. I have alot of guns and (I thought alot ) of ammo in 45. The Stemple came up at a reasonable price so I grabbed it. It's fun to shoot and works great, but I sometimes wonder if I should have gone Mac. The Uzi is nicer than the Macs, but at the time they were a thousand dollars more, and the Stemple with the can was about as much as I had planned on spending on the gun alone. BTW, the Stemple cans are low tech and big but it's pretty damn quiet for a 45 machine gun.
Look into a 22 kit. There are a couple of options for the M11 and I think one for the
M10. I'm in the process of building a 22lr conversion for my Stemple because no one sells one and I have some machinery so, if I can't buy it I'll just have to do it myself. The price of ammo these days makes shooting full auto a rare treat. I shoot my subgun a couple of times a year. Once I can shoot 22 I'd like to make that a much more frequent event. The guys I shoot with (who don't have any full autos) will dig that no doubt.

Berms improved at Dillon Cemetery
November 11, 2012
Dirt displaced from construction at the Dillon Marina is being moved to an area in front of the Dillon Cemetery. The dirt is being used to re-shape and improve the old berms in that area. The area is being cleaned and improved upon, including re-vegetating and re-seeding. Already used for boat storage, during the winter it is often a place where excess snow is dumped.

CHICAGO, ILL. - Coming off a highly successful two-year run that ended in the 2012 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup championship in Japan, the U.S. Under-20 Women's National Team will begin a new cycle with a training camp from Feb. 2-9 at The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif. Two Tar Heel freshman - forward Summer Green and defender Hanna Gardner - were both named to the team this week and will train next month in California.
Green (Milford, Mich.), who played for the U.S. U-17 World Cup Team last year, was a Soccer America first-team freshman All-America on Carolina's 2012 NCAA championship team. Gardner, a recruited non-scholarship player from Chapel Hill, N.C., was also a Soccer America freshman All-America last fall. Both players also were named to the All-ACC Freshman Team.
Players born on or after Jan. 1, 1994, are age-eligible for the 2014 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, to be held in Canada. U.S. Soccer Women's Technical Director April Heinrichs (UNC Class of 1987) has called up 24 players for the camp, 13 born in 1994 and 11 born in 1995.
Ten of the players were a part of the U.S. U-17 Women's World Cup Team this past year in Azerbaijan while two players were a part of the team that won the U-20 Women's World Cup in Japan.
Nine of the players on the roster are currently in college with the remainder still attending high school and one playing professionally overseas.
The U.S. U-20 WNT training camp will be held concurrently with the U.S. U-18 WNT training camp and the two squads will scrimmage against each other on Feb. 5 at 3 p.m. The U-20s will also scrimmage UCLA on Feb. 8 at 5 p.m. PT.

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- The men's and women's Tennessee track and field teams attained two more victories and 15 personal bests to bring the weekend at the Rod McCravy Memorial Invitational to a close on Saturday.
Jake Blankenship set a new meet record en route to winning the pole vault, and Jamol James was first in the 60-meter dash.
Tennessee director of track and field/cross country J.J. Clark said the meet provided a good opportunity for growth against nationally ranked competition.
"This was by far our best competition of the year," Clark said. "There were some very good nationally ranked teams. We had some respond. We just have to continue to get better in all areas."
Blankenship successfully defended his pole vault title by establishing a new meet record of 18 feet 1.25 inches (5.52m). Chase Brannon came close behind in third (17-5.5/5.32m), along with Tyler Porter's personal best 17-1.5/5.22m for eighth and Michael Maira 19th (15-1.75/4.62m).
Matthew Hoty placed third in shot put (61-6.75/18.76m), while fifth place teammate Tavis Bailey scored a personal best 60-1/18.31m.
James and Reggie Juin advance from preliminary round to the 60m finals where they placed first and eighth respectively; the winning 60m time was 6.80. Daniel Tobin scored a top ten in the mile finishing in 4:13.17. Nick Kaiser took 15th in the 800m; Terrance Livingston was 21st. Kyle Walter's 21st place finish was a new best time for him in the 3000m. Tennessee's 4X400 relay team came in ninth overall.
The Lady Vol field unit continues solid performances for Tennessee this season. Cassie Wertman was second in the shot put (53-5/16.28m). She was joined in competition by Aslynn Halvorson ninth and ReJean Rouse 16th.
Allison Outerbridge led UT's triple jumpers this weekend with a distance of 39-8.5/12.10m, followed by Brielyn Rogers placing 11th.
Kasha McDougald of Tennessee finished eighth in the 60m hurdles finals on Saturday. Her mark of 8.70 is a new personal record.
The women's mile was yet again another strong event for the ladies as Alexis Panisse scored a top 10, while four other runners established new indoor benchmark for the event. Brittney Jackson garnered a sixth place performance in the 800m with a season best 2:11.19.
Career times kept coming for the Lady Vols as the day progressed: Felecia Majors and Emily Yarnell in the 400m, Chelsea Blasse and Emily Williams in the 3000m, and a 60m debut for Erin Champion. Overall UT women set a collective 12 new event benchmarks on Saturday alone.
The Big Orange have amassed 15 wins, 65 athlete personal records, and 119 top ten finishes on the season.
Tennessee track and field has the upcoming weekend off as they prepare to venture to College Station for the Aggie Invitational taking place February 7-8.

AQUEDUCT NOTES, Thursday, Nov. 13, 2008
The Race Track Chaplaincy is asking for help in providing Thanksgiving turkeys and other food items for backstretch families.
The Chaplaincy had hoped to begin distributing 100 turkeys next Friday, November 21, at Belmont Park. It has, however, already received more requests—and fewer turkeys than usual.
Gifts of turkeys, chickens, gift cards, hams and all sorts of nonperishable food are needed at the Belmont Park Race Track food pantry (2150 Hempstead Turnpike, Elmont , N.Y., Gate 6; telephone: (516) 488-6000, ext 4063). Items may be delivered Monday through Friday, anytime between 9:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.
You probably can guess that it is every jockey's dream to win the Kentucky Derby – but did you know that Alan Garcia's favorite movie is "Cinderella Man?"
Racing fans can now get up close and personal with New York's top riders by watching the new "Jockey Video Cards" now available on the official NYRA YouTube channel, http://www.youtube.com/nyravideo.
Although but few minutes in length, the amusing interviews are both candid and revealing. In addition to Garcia, winner of the 2008 Belmont Stakes aboard Da' Tara, the video cards also feature Javier Castellano (he's a Mets fan), Eibar Coa, Channing Hill, Mike Luzzi, Rajiv Maragh (his dream vacation is fishing and playing poker on the beach), John Velazquez, and Richard Milgiore (whose hero is Johnny Unitas).
Launched earlier this year, the NYRA Youtube channel playlists also features Trips & Traps, an insider's look at horses to watch -- or watch out for. Join hosts Andy Serling and Eric Donovan as they scrutinize race replays for information that's not in the past performances, and show fans how to use it to their advantage.

Hall of Fame trainer H. Allen Jerkens' first order of business after being released Wednesday morning from Parker Jewish Institute for Health Care and Rehabilitation Center was to visit his barn at Belmont Park.
"He came home, and said, 'I'd like to see the horses'," said his wife, Elizabeth. "We drove him to the barn and he sat on the bench outside, and they brought out every single one of the horses for him."
Jerkens, 79, was admitted to Long Island Jewish Hospital in New Hyde Park last month with shortness of breath, then underwent surgery to repair two heart valves on October 20 and had a pacemaker installed eight days later.

New drug therapies delay effects of Alzheimer's disease
Selegiline (or Eldepryl) and alpha-tocopherol (or Vitamin E) may slow important functional signs and symptoms of Alzheimer's disease by about 7 months, according to a report by scientists at 23 Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study (ADCS) sites across the U.S. The two drugs delayed important milestones, such as entry into nursing homes, for people with moderately severe Alzheimer's disease, and decreased their loss of daily activities, including bathing, dressing, and handling money, by about 25 percent.
Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Donna E. Shalala called the finding "very good news. Each piece of the Alzheimer's disease puzzle that falls into place moves us one step closer to relieving the burden of this devastating disease."
Findings from the study, the longest clinical trial to date testing drugs for slowing the progression of Alzheimer's disease, are reported in the April 24, 1997, The New England Journal of Medicine. Mary Sano, Ph.D., of Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, principal investigator for this study, Leon J. Thal, M.D., University of California at San Diego, principal investigator of the ADCS, and colleagues reported the findings on behalf of scientists at the ADCS sites. The National Institute on Aging (NIA), part of the National Institutes of Health at the Department of Health and Human Services, funded this study as part of the ADCS, a consortium of 35 research centers.
"We looked at the signs and symptoms of Alzheimer's disease that can worsen over time and found that in patients taking these drugs, these signs occurred later," said Sano. "Physicians may want to think about using either selegiline or Vitamin E in patients with moderately severe disease, like those in our study. The drugs may benefit certain patients by delaying some aspects of the deterioration that comes with the disease. Of course, potential side effects and drug interactions need to be considered as well," she added.
Beyond their significance for today's patients, the findings are important in understanding the factors involved in the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. Researchers exploring the idea that oxidative damage may play a role in Alzheimer's disease theorize that drugs such as selegiline and alpha-tocopherol keep oxidative damage of brain cells at bay, and therefore may be effective in reducing symptoms of the disease.
"This study reinforces the thinking that oxidative damage plays a role in Alzheimer's disease, and we are actively pursuing this line of research," says Neil Buckholtz, Ph.D., acting chief of the dementias of aging branch at the NIA. "Now that we have seen an effect in this group of patients, we will need to look further to determine whether these types of drugs can actually delay the development of symptoms much earlier in the course of the disease."
The clinical trial examined the effects of the two drugs in 341 patients. The participants were divided into four groups, including those receiving placebo, those receiving 10 milligrams of selegiline per day, those taking 2,000 IU (international units) of Vitamin E per day, or people taking a combination of both drugs. Both selegiline, a drug widely used to treat Parkinson's disease, and Vitamin E are currently available.
Using novel, more functional measures of the disease's progression than have been used to study the disease in the past, the researchers assessed the patients every 3 months for 2 years, marking four important milestones in the progression of the disease -- death, institutionalization, loss of the ability to perform basic daily activities, and progression to severe dementia.
The scientists found a significant delay after treatment with either drug, in an analysis that combined all four milestones. With selegiline, when compared to placebo, it took 215 days longer to reach any one of the four milestones. With Vitamin E, the delay was about 230 days. The combination of the drugs showed less of an effect, with a delay of only 145 days.
Looking at the milestones separately, the treatment groups did somewhat better in most categories compared with those receiving a placebo. The results were not statistically significant except for a 13 percent reduction in entry into a nursing home among people taking Vitamin E during the period of the study.
On one important, commonly used measure of function in everyday activities, the Blessed Dementia Scale, people in the three treatment groups showed about 25 percent less deterioration of abilities such as eating, dressing, or cooking than those not receiving the drug therapies.
While the measurements of the disease's progression in practical terms showed that the drugs were having a positive effect, there was no improvement in cognition. Measurements of cognition tested memory, attention, language, and comprehension. More research will be needed to see whether the positive findings on function were the result of other improvements in health, such as cardiovascular effects, that are associated with antioxidants, rather than being the direct consequence of antioxidant action on the brain. Two drugs already approved for treatment of Alzheimer's disease, tacrine and donepezil, have been shown to improve cognition by about 6 months. The demonstrated benefits of selegiline and Vitamin E on the functional milestones occurred over a 2-year period.
Scientists were surprised that people taking the combination of the drugs did not do as well or better than those taking either selegiline or Vitamin E separately. From laboratory studies, they had expected the drugs to have an additive effect, since each works in a different way to prevent oxidative damage. The unexpected results in humans highlights how important it is to do controlled clinical trials to test ideas from the laboratory, the researchers emphasized.
While heartened by the finding that either selegiline or Vitamin E moderates some of the signs of Alzheimer's disease, scientists still were cautious about recommending immediate, widespread application of either drug. First, they noted, the study involved patients with moderately severe disease, and more research needs to be conducted to see how the drugs might affect patients at different stages of the disease. Also, use of selegiline could be have potential side effects and interactions with other drugs. In addition, the dosage of Vitamin E used in this study was substantially higher than that typically taken by people as a daily vitamin supplement. Vitamin E may be associated with increased risk of bleeding in certain individuals. Alzheimer's disease patients and their families should consult their physicians on whether these drugs or tacrine (brand name Cognex) or donepezil (brand name Aricept) may be appropriate for a particular individual.
The study reflects progress in the ADCS, set up 6 years ago to facilitate research on treatments for Alzheimer's disease. "The study reported today highlights one important aspect of the program, testing drugs or substances that are already on the market but that may prove useful in delaying decline among Alzheimer's disease patients," Thal noted. Observational studies indicate that estrogen or anti-inflammatory agents, for example, may also have some positive benefits on Alzheimer's disease, Thal said, and scientists in the ADCS are testing these two substances and others in controlled trials to determine if they really do offer a benefit.
The NIA conducts research into the biomedical, clinical, social, and behavioral aspects of aging and the needs of older people. The Institute sponsors the Alzheimer's Disease Education and Referral Center (ADEAR), where the public and health professionals can obtain information on dementia. The ADEAR Center can be contacted at 1-800-438-4380.

(This guide assume the user is "xbmc")
Connect to your XBMC computer with putty or similiar.
You can also open up a terminal session alt + F2.
All changes below is made by a terminal program or session.
1. Start irexec, needed for capturing remote commands and execute script:
Open rc.local
sudo nano /etc/rc.local
Add the following line before exit 0:
su -c '/usr/bin/irexec -d /home/xbmc/.lircrc' -l xbmc
2. Create config file for irexec (.lircrc):
sudo nano /home/xbmc/.lircrc
Add the following:
remote = mceusb
prog = irexec
button = Clear
config = sudo sh /etc/X11/toggle.sh
repeat = 0
delay = 0
This will execute the script "toggle.sh" by pressing the "Clear" button on an MCE remote, change if needed.
3. Check if irexec starts (optional):
Reboot computer and put in this in the terminal:
ps -ef | grep irexec
If everyting works it should answer with:
xbmc 1554 1 0 14:00 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/irexec -d /home/xbmc/.lircrc
xbmc 2114 1646 0 14:16 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto irexec
4. Create two xorg.conf (one for each screen/setup):
First we need to know the PCI bus ID of the graphic cards.
(this is for nvidia cards, change to ati if needed)
lspci | grep -i nvidia
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G96 [GeForce 9500 GT] (rev a1)
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G96 [GeForce 9500 GT] (rev a1)
The first numbers tell us what we need to know.
- PCI:1:0:0 and PCI:2:0:0 this is the bus id's for each cards.
Create xorg0.conf
sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg0.conf
Add the text from your orginal xorg.conf or try mine.
Don't forget to change the BusID lines with our numbers.

Create the second file, xorg1.conf
sudo cp /etx/X11/xorg0.conf /etc/X11/xorg1.conf
5. Edit the files you just created, to make them use diffrent screens:
One should have "Screen0" the other "Screen1".
sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg1.conf
6. Make a script that change between the xorg0.conf and xorg1.conf:
sudo nano /etc/X11/toggle.sh
Add the following:
# Shell script used to toggle between two xorg.conf files on XBMC [Live/Linux]
# namely $CONF_ONE and $CONF_TWO.
# To setup the script you need to change the value of two maybe three variables.
# Begin by changing $CONF_ONE and $CONF_TWO. They should contain the path to
# the two xorg.conf files you which to toggle between.
# The script will store information inside the $TOGGLE_CONF file (toggle.conf).
cd /etc/X11
# configuration (userdefined)
CONF_ONE="xorg0.conf" # userdefined xorg.conf one
CONF_TWO="xorg1.conf" # userdefined xorg.conf two
# constants
CONF="xorg.conf" # path to the xorg.conf file used by X.org
TOGGLE_CONF="toggle.conf" # path to this script's own configuration file
CONF_DEF=$CONF_ONE # default xorg.conf that is used if no $TOGGLE_CONF file exists
# other vairables
FILE="" # store new the X.org config file name
LINE="" # used when readin this script's config file ($TOGGLE_CONF)
# set the given config file
setConfigFile() {
FILE="$@" # get all args
# set the new X.org config file
echo "Setting $FILE as X.org's config"
rm -f $CONF
ln -s $FILE $CONF
# save the name of the new config, so that we know which file to change
# to the next time we toggle
echo "Saving '$FILE' to $TOGGLE_CONF for later use"
echo $FILE > $TOGGLE_CONF
# in order for the changes to take effect, we need to restart X.org
echo "Restarting XBMC"
killall xbmc
startx &
sleep 2
xbmc &
# read the script's config in order to know which X.org confing to toggle to
echo "Reading $TOGGLE_CONF"
if [ ! -f $TOGGLE_CONF ]; then
echo "No $TOGGLE_CONF found, setting default X.org config"
setConfigFile $CONF_DEF
# read the script's config file
while read LINE; do
echo "Currently used X.org config: '$LINE'"
# switch to the correct X.org config
if [ $LINE != $CONF_ONE ]; then
setConfigFile $CONF_ONE
setConfigFile $CONF_TWO
done < $TOGGLE_CONF
7. Remove password from root:
sudo visudo
Add in the end of that file:
xbmc ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL
Thats it
If you make small changes to the above it can also be usefull for:
-one graphic card with two resolution one for each vga/DVI port.

My husband and I are moving to Spain within the upcoming months. He is British and wants to train as an EFL teacher. My question is about all the on line programs available to grant the certificate. One stands out, but we want to make sure they are a properly accredited school of language instruction. I can't find out anything negative about them on the internet. The accreditation they list is Ascentis, ODLQC, ABLS, and Learn Direct (Scotland). Can you tell us if these are valid accreditations. It is a 150 hour course with live evaluations of instruction performance (teaching practice certificate.) The options are one week or two weeks for the teaching practice. Is two weeks necessary or will one week (6 class room hours) be enough?

Even though there are no local teams in the playoffs, the Journal sports team decided to tackle this weekend's playoff games. There are grudge matches and seemingly lopsided contests today and Sunday, but you may be surprised by some of the picks made by Frankie Tovar and Eddie Ruiz. Do your predictions line up with ours? Read through the matchups and find out.
Last Thursday, while celebrating Thanksgiving, I mentioned to a family member that I was excited about my upcoming fishing trip. He responded by saying "most guys can't handle waiting six or more hours without getting a bite." I responded by saying, "I've waited days for a bite in the past."
With one out to get for the 2014 World Series title, a colossally bad defensive play threatened to lose the Giants a championship. San Francisco center fielder Gregor Blanco missed a fly ball. Left fielder Juan Perez kicked it. Kansas City's Alex Gordon sprinted to third and the Royals sent Salvador Perez to bat with a chance to win the game.
School starts in less than a week, which signifies to me that summer is coming to an end. It's been a pretty good summer. I kicked it off with a fishing trip and just yesterday officially ended my summer with a fishing trip. In the middle, I mixed in a couple camping trips to Clarks Fork, Lake Pardee, and even scouted out some future camping spots.
The San Francisco Giants have won two of the previous four World Series with Bruce Bochy at the helm. This year, they are chasing history to hopefully make it three of five - but the season has been rocky leading up to the final two months of baseball.
Life jackets are one of the most valuable pieces of equipment on a boat. A lot of owners spend huge amounts of money on radio systems, wakeboard towers, downriggers, power poles, and other luxury items on their boats. When it comes to life jackets though, a lot of times they couldn't tell you what sizes they have and some of them even keep them stowed away under a seat compartment somewhere.
The 2014 World Cup has come down to a final match between two soccer powerhouses-Germany and Argentina.
For several years now there's been a mandatory inspection for boats entering our local lakes for quagga-zebra mussels. Most of us I'm sure think of the inspection as a hassle but it's necessary to help prevent these species from taking over our lakes.
Here's a cool stat: In this year's World Cup more goals have been scored in the group stages than at any other World Cup with 32 teams competing. The tournament has seen 136 goals already, which tops the tallies of 130 and 126 in 2002 and 1998, respectively.
Summer time is top water fishing time for bass. Catching bass on a top water lure is one of the most exciting experiences in fishing. As exciting as it is, it also can be very difficult hooking up with a fish once it strikes. A common mistake anglers make when fishing with top water lures is setting the hook too early. Experienced anglers will tell you to wait until you feel the fish, but that's easier said than done. It took me several years and many hours on the water until I finally was able to wait on my ...
Summer vacation has officially started for my family, this week we've been spending the first part of it camping at Lake Pardee. Actually, I'm typing this report from the picnic table of my campsite. Currently, we're the only family camping mid-week, making it even more enjoyable. The fishing has been good; the early morning kokanee bite is great, I've even been able to catch a few during the middle of the day.
Last week while reading the fishing report from Lake Pardee, I read that some of the regulars believed that if the cows were lying down in the morning, fishing was going to be tough; if they were standing, the bite was supposed to be good. So, on my way up to the lake I looked for the first cow nearest the lake and, to my joy, it was standing.
I'm in an unfamiliar place right now, for the first time in nearly 20 years, I'm boat less.
It is that time of the year, for many Americans and local San Jose Sharks supporters, to get behind their favorite hockey squad as the 2014 Stanley Cup Playoffs are in full swing.
Wrestling is arguably the oldest sport in history, but what won't be argued is that it is one of the toughest and most demanding. A one-on-one contest that requires peak physical conditioning and lasting mental fortitude, wrestling is a test of true grit. Young athletes develop dedication for the sport through years of practice, but that's not the only quality that can be cultivated in a wrestling room. Dedication, perseverance, and self-determination-these qualities are also shaped by the sport and often influence more than just the athletic aspect of a person's character.
