Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is the unexplained death, usually during sleep, of a seemingly healthy baby less than a year old. SIDS is sometimes known as crib death because the infants often die in their cribs.
Although the cause is unknown, it appears that SIDS may be associated with abnormalities in the portion of an infant's brain that controls breathing and arousal from sleep.
Researchers have discovered some factors that may put babies at extra risk. They've also identified some measures you can take to help protect your child from SIDS. Perhaps the most important measure is placing your baby on his or her back to sleep.
A combination of physical and sleep environmental factors can make an infant more vulnerable to SIDS. These factors may vary from child to child.
Physical factors associated with SIDS include:
The items in a baby's crib and his or her sleeping position can combine with a baby's physical problems to increase the risk of SIDS. Examples include:
Although sudden infant death syndrome can strike any infant, researchers have identified several factors that may increase a baby's risk. They include:
During pregnancy, the risk of SIDS is also affected by the mother, especially if she:
After losing a baby to SIDS, getting emotional support is critical. You may feel guilt as well as grief, and you'll be dealing with the mandatory police investigation into cause of death. You may find it comforting to talk to other parents whose lives have been touched by SIDS.
Your doctor may be able to recommend a support group in your area, or you can visit an online SIDS chat room. Talking to a trusted friend, counselor or clergy member may also help.
If you can, let friends and family know how you're feeling. People want to help, but they may not know how to approach you.
As the baby's parents, be as open as possible with each other. Losing a child can put a terrible strain on a marriage. Counseling may help some couples understand and express their feelings.
Finally, give yourself time to grieve. Don't worry if you find yourself crying unexpectedly, if holidays and other celebratory times are especially difficult, or if you're tired and drained much of the time.
You're dealing with a devastating loss. Healing takes time.
There's no guaranteed way to prevent SIDS, but you can help your baby sleep more safely by following these tips:
Back to sleep. Place your baby to sleep resting on his or her back, rather than on the stomach or side. This isn't necessary when your baby's awake or able to roll over both ways without help.
Don't assume that others will place your baby to sleep in the correct position — insist on it. Advise sitters and child care personnel not to use the stomach position to calm an upset baby.
Don't overheat baby. To keep your baby warm, try a sleep sack or other sleep clothing that doesn't require additional covers. If you use a blanket, make it lightweight.
Tuck the blanket securely into the foot of the mattress, with just enough length to cover your baby's shoulders. Then place your baby in the crib, near the foot, covered loosely with the blanket. Don't cover your baby's head.
Have baby sleep in parents' room until age 1. Ideally, baby should sleep in the same room as the parents for the first year of life — or at least for the first six months — to decrease the risk of SIDS.
Baby should sleep alone in his or her own crib, bassinet or other surface designed for infants. Adult beds aren't safe for infants. A baby can become trapped and suffocate between the headboard slats, the space between the mattress and the bed frame, or the space between the mattress and the wall.
A baby can also suffocate if a sleeping parent accidentally rolls over and covers the baby's nose and mouth.
Offer a pacifier. Sucking on a pacifier at naptime and bedtime may reduce the risk of SIDS. One caveat — if you're breast-feeding, wait to offer a pacifier until your baby is 3 to 4 weeks old and you've settled into an effective nursing routine.
If your baby's not interested in the pacifier, don't force it. Try again another day. If the pacifier falls out of your baby's mouth while he or she is sleeping, don't pop it back in.

Thistle's Middlesbrough property has launched its revolutionary conference and events offering with advanced technology facilities, following a £1million investment into the hotel's bedrooms and main meetings area - The Cleveland Suite.
As well as first-class sound systems throughout and WiFi access for delegates, the completely refurbished suite is adding an extra dimension to meetings and events with state-of-the-art mood-creation. The LED ceiling can be utilised to convey a desired atmosphere through a wide choice of colour lighting to suit any event type, theme or corporate branding.
The Cleveland Suite, one of the hotel's seventeen air-conditioned meeting areas can accommodate up to 400 delegates, theatre-style and can also be efficiently divided into smaller areas for break-out business sessions or smaller presentations – named the Ayton, Bedale, Carlton, Eston and Dinsdale rooms.
The ninth floor of the 132 bedroomed hotel also holds the particularly-characteristic penthouse meetings and events areas. The classic-style Boardroom notoriously makes an impression with business delegates and the modern Training Room with enhanced technology features are just some of the spacing options available on the top floor.
General manager of Thistle Middlesbrough, Peter Llewellyn comments: "Working with our corporate clients to provide bespoke meetings and events with the highest quality of service and advanced technology is a strong focus for the hotel – revealing the enhanced Cleveland Suite demonstrates our strong commitment to being one of the best business venues in the city."
Thistle's commitment to understanding the needs of the corporate guest extend further to its flexible, no-nonsense dining options, available 24 hours a day as well as the commitment of the hotel's dedicated meetings team. Thistle's focus on corporate guests being 'Better Connected' is not only through complete WiFi access, but the geographical spread of the portfolio; covering most major cities and business hubs.
Thistle is enhancing all areas and facilities of its 33-strong portfolio, including refurbishment of bedrooms and public areas and improved service quality across all hotels. This is part of Thistle's £100m investment to rebrand all its hotels across the UK, including the roll-out of a brand new corporate identity.


text: Not only does Selena Gomez need a few months of rehab and someone to make sure she actually does go out on tour this time, she also needs someone to tell her she looks like an idiot for getting back together with Justin Bieber. The two were spotted in Texas together yesterday and have not been apart from each other. Oh, except for when Justin had some strippers and hookers come service him and his friends while Selena waited her turn. Actually I don't think that happened this time, but it will and it has and she just lets it happen. Selena has no self respect and no self-esteem. She lets a twelve year old kid tell her what to do and she keeps coming back to him. Does she really think she can't do better than a guy who likes getting wasted off cough syrup? That is such a loser way to get wasted. Now, if Justin sat down and had shots of whiskey or tequila I would have more respect for him. He is the guy who goes to a party and everyone else is drinking hard liquor and he asks if there is any peppermint schnapps and gets drunk off one drink and then wants to fight everyone before he pukes all over himself and you have to call his mother to pick him up and take him home.

I remember reading a bio on Richard Pryor released after he burned himself freebasing, and they interviewed Joan. She loved Richard.

Copenhagen Municipality approved the first mosque to be built in Copenhagen. The decision was made while Rasmussen, Danish Secretary General of NATO was visiting Turkey.
Copenhagen city council gave the green light to the Country's first mosque's to be raised. The City Council in which the left wing parties hold the majority, voted in favour of approving the construction.
"With this decision, we hope that this mosque will contribute actively in showing that Copenhagen is a diverse city. The city has a synagogue, a Russian (Orthodox) church, and it is natural for it to also have a mosque," said the deputy mayor of Copenhagen, Klaus Bondam.

Turkey Production Survey
Wild Turkey Production and Population Survey Results for 2002
The 2002 hunting season was the 24th year of our annual turkey population survey. The continuing cooperation of turkey hunters has made the survey possible. Your assistance is greatly appreciated. The information you provide is valuable in several ways.
Turkey Production Index Survey
In 2002, 648 broods were seen, up 31.4% from 493 in 2001. However, brood totals can be misleading as a measure of production. The number of poults per observer is the best measure or index of relative reproduction success because it accounts for annual differences in number of observers and poults in broods. The average brood size of 6.01 poults seen in 2002 differed significantly from 6.96 the previous year. The statewide production index of poults per observer (24.10) was up slightly from last year's 21.34. The average number of poults per hen was 2.5 in 2002, which is an increase from 2.2 in 2001. An average of 3.0 or above is usually considered an indicator of good production. These data suggest that on a statewide basis turkey production is still somewhat depressed, and can be considered fair to good, especially when compared to the excellent reproduction in 1993-95. Cyclic, up-and-down trends are a natural aspect observed in wildlife populations, especially in turkeys as reproduction can be greatly affected by unpredictable, spring weather conditions. The recent drought in Georgia can also impact reproductive success because of decreased insect production and reduced habitat quality. Whether this drought will continue in 2003 remains to be seen. Managing for quality habitat should remain a priority to avoid additional limitations during seasons of low production and to take advantage of when upward trends in reproduction. Overall, Georgia's turkey population is still excellent and should remain so in the foreseeable future.
Hunting Population Index Survey
This survey is conducted during the spring gobbler season with hunt data being supplied by hunter volunteers. Specific information requested about each hunting trip from our hunter cooperators is the date, hours hunted, county or region of the state hunted, the number of turkeys seen, the number of gobblers heard, and the number of gobblers killed.
The hours of hunting effort per turkey observed is used as an index of the hunting population. The correlation between this index and the production index is used in evaluating annual production and resulting hunting season populations.
Hunt information in usable form was supplied by 446 of the 2,000 hunters contacted in 2002. They reported making 3,906 trips totaling 12,989 hunting hours. The season hunting effort per cooperator was 8.5 trips totaling 36.4 hours. This is an increase of 4 hours from the 2001 season average effort.
A total of 9,212 turkeys (hens and gobblers) were seen. The statewide population index of 2.6 hunting hours per turkey seen was higher than in 2001, but still good, judging from the 24 years surveyed. The lowest effort per bird seen was in the Piedmont Plateau counties, and the greatest was in the Appalachian Highlands and Blue Ridge Mountain counties. This trend has remained fairly constant over the years.
Cooperators reported hearing 7,017 gobblers. The hours of hunting per gobbler heard averaged 3.2 hours. Fair to good reproductive success in preceding years along with an abundance of adult gobblers once again were factors contributing to the continued low hunting effort per gobbling bird in 2002. Similar to previous seasons, the least amount of time hunting per gobbler heard, 1.6 hours, was in the Piedmont Plateau, and the greatest amount of time, 4.9 hours, was in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Statewide, peak gobbling activity, 2.5 gobblers per trip, occurred during the opening weekend, but peaked again at 2.4 in the third week of April.
The statewide harvest during the first seven days of the 2002 season accounted for 32.0% of the total season harvest. The average amount of hunting effort to kill a gobbler, 34.2 hours, increased by 6.3 hours from 2001. Statewide hunter success rose significantly to 74.2% with 331 of the 446 cooperators taking at least one bird. Of these, 240 (72.5%) hunters took one bird, 52 (15.7%) took two birds, and 39 (11.8%) took three birds. Cooperators reported 37 gobblers killed by companions.
2003 Season Forecast
Georgia's estimated 42,181 turkey hunters had a good spring season in 2002, harvesting about 27,418 birds statewide. The average harvest per hunter (0.65) was up slightly from 0.59 in 2001. Of the turkey hunters surveyed after the season, 79.6% rated the turkey hunting good or excellent, while only 5.5% rated it as poor. Across the state the 2003 spring season in general should be good again depending upon the weather. Because reproduction has been on a slight upturn during the past two years there may be more jakes and two-year-old birds this season. Overall the state's turkey population is still strong. Hopefully, reproduction will continue this rebound and the future will remain bright for Georgia's number one game bird. Good luck and good hunting.

text: So I want to try and upgrade the armour to fiberglass. I did a chest piece out of cardboard and did 2 layers on the front and 1 on the back. Actually looks fairly good, but very thin, measured at about 1mm maybe 1.5mm. What is the recommended way to do fiberglass armour? Should I make molds using my existing armour which is about 5mm thick and then fiberglass using the mold or can they be 'freeformed' over cardboard or a similar material?

Video: Bruce Brubaker elaborates on the NEC celebration of Liszt.
The monumental output of composer Franz Liszt (1811–1886) is a lifelong measuring stick for pianists. Liszt is the composer/performer who arguably invented the modern conception of the "virtuoso."
During the Liszt bicentennial year of 2011, this body of work brought together all of NEC's piano majors, along with Preparatory students, in a series of seven concerts, under the direction of NEC piano chair Bruce Brubaker.

Nothing illustrates the deficiencies of their campaigns better than the nonpartisan Concord Coalition's recent analysis of their fiscal policies. Gov. Romney "has certainly given insufficient detail to establish that he has a credible plan to balance the budget," and the three parts of his plan to reduce tax rates without increasing the deficit "are mathematically incompatible." President Obama's plans to balance the budget "clearly show ... an inadequate long-term fiscal goal," and he has been "as vague as Gov. Romney in detailing how he would pay for his proposed (tax) rate reduction."


text: I would love to get others input on programs skating ability ect. I know we have coaches but sometimes it would be nice to get others perspectives! It would be kind of cool to have a place people could post a video and ask for just advice and help. Whether with Choreo ideas or actual skating tips! Just a thought. On that note my daughters coach says she spins to slow and its affecting her jumps in his opinion. I dont have a video of her doing any of her back spins (it is very very slow like a beginner doing a two foot spin lol). But her other spins are slow as well. She gets the revoltions but without speed. I would love any advice or tips others have used. She is getting frustrated because in compulsary events the faster spinners are always winning because everything is about comparable.

Just went to a gun show and brought home a 19. Got if for 504.99 plus tax with night sights. Is that a good deal. Now that I got it home I am kind of thinking I should have got the 26 for same price and features but oh well.

Just went to a gun show and brought home a 19. Got if for 504.99 plus tax with night sights. Is that a good deal. Now that I got it home I am kind of thinking I should have got the 26 for same price and features but oh well.
Nice buy. I hope to own a G19 some day. The price looks good compared to what I'm looking at around here.
Congrats! Unless you can get it wholesale somewhere that's not a bad deal, especially with night sights. You will enjoy the 19 (better than the 26 probably). Over the years I've had a couple of 19's and really like their size and the way they shoot. Reliable and accurate. If you bought the 26 the first thing you'd do is start buying some mag extensions to make it like the 19! :anim_lol: Now you just need to go shoot about 300 and more rounds. Enjoy it. :smt023
i have a 26 and have never had the intention of buying the 19
the magazines of the 17 and 19 fit in the 26 so i am very happy
I had a G27 and really liked it. The G26 is supposed to be as accurate as the G19. My hands just won't fit the G26 as well as the G19. Both are great CCW guns!
Nothing like a new gun. Enjoy.:smt023
Excellent! Just got my G19 this week also! No night sights on mine and paid the same. Oh-well. It's going to be a carry piece so I'll probably stick with the factory plastic sights for now. Congrats on the new G19!
Just got back from the range today. Man I love this gun. My wife has the mp 40c and they say that gun is more accurate but I was dead on with this 19 wouldn't trade it for anything.:mrgreen:
I love my 19, its amazing. You won't be disappointed!
Thats a good price man. I've paid over $500 for all of my glocks. Even my G17 without night sites and 2 10rd mags was like $510 or so.
That is a good price. I just got my 19 less that a week ago and paid $499 without night sights. The cheapest I have seen them with night sights around me is $569. I made my choice for the 19 after handling and shooting my dad's 26, it just feels better to me. I carry a Kahr CW9 for SD so I wanted something a little bigger with the Glock.
You did great, now time to save up for that G26.:smt033
I think that you made a good choice with the G19! I have AT LEAST one of them. The subcompacts are not really all that much different.

Clothes hounds love clothes. Gearheads love gear. Pretty much everyone has something they live to shop for. But for residential architects, shopping amounts to a professional imperative. Residential design may begin in a realm of pure form, free from the banality of brand names and manufacturers' warranties, but before even the finest idea finds its expression in bricks and mortar, someone has to specify the brick. And which brick—or window or ceramic tile or lighting fixture—can make the difference between a project that merely serves and one that truly sings.
So it is with some anticipation each year that we compile our Architects' Choice issue, for which we put together a list of architects we admire and ask them to dish about their favorite products and materials. We always learn about great items that we were unaware of before, as well as familiar standbys rediscovered or used in a new way. And for the architects who share their favorites in the following pages, this is no idle matter. Their enthusiasm for these bits and pieces is sincere and contagious; their recommendations—backed by experience—are something you can take to the bank.
Each set of selections, while small in number, stands in for a larger palette: the kit of parts with which each of these architects produces his or her buildings. And because no such kit of parts is ever complete, this year we asked them also to identify products they're keeping an eye on and planning to use in the future. We trust that you'll find here some worthy candidates for your own must-try list. Happy shopping.
See all the entries in Architects' Choice 2013.

SPRINGFIELD, IL -- The Illinois Coin Machine Operators Association won a legal victory on Aug. 28 when Gov. Pat Quinn signed into law a bill that increases permissible prize values for redemption games from the price of play to $25. The measure brings redemption prize values into line with the previously established $25 prize limit assigned to cranes and merchandisers.
ICMOA officials said they had initially hoped to increase the redemption prize value limit to $50 or $100. However, this target was considered unachievable amid a political climate in which Illinois's gambling expansion had become controversial. Last spring, the state Legislature passed an unrelated bill to expand casino gambling. Gov. Quinn vetoed that bill on Aug. 28, the same day he signed the redemption bill, designated HB 4320.
In addition to raising the prize-value ceiling, the measure amends the state's 1961 Criminal Code, expanding the definition of "redemption game." The 195-word definition in the bill broadens the redemption category with computer-based games in which gameplay and outcome are depicted with flashing lights, and includes games with spinning wheels.
The law also states that all redemption equipment is exempt from Illinois gambling statutes, as long as game outcomes are based on "predominately skill" and "only merchandise prizes are awarded."
The legislation helps ensure that redemption operators are not viewed as operating gray-area equipment. This will assist operators who wish to obtain gaming licenses under the 2009 Video Gaming Act, an ICMOA official told Vending Times. The state's VLT market is expected to launch in late September or early October.
The official title of HB 4320 is "An Act Concerning Gaming." However, one House sponsor of the bill casually referred to it as the "Chuck E. Cheese's law," and the unofficial moniker caught on. ICMOA officials said that the Chuck E. Cheese's chain had nothing to do with crafting or passing the bill.
State Rep. Lou Lang (D-Skokie) and Sen. Antonio Muñoz (D-Chicago) cosponsored the measure. It passed in both houses on May 31.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
4l60e Transmission with 3rd and reverse only
Thanks makes sence.
4l60e Transmission with 3rd and reverse only
How is it possible for third gear to work if the cluthes are bad and or the forward sprag? Is it because it is at max pressure?
4l60e reverse only
thanks guys for responding. ok no forward movement with harness on. when I take the harness off I only get third gear. if on overdrive it will drive on third gear and overdrive will not engage, it will also drive on manual third and no movement on L1 or L2. there were no trouble codes when I got it. if I disconnect the harnesses a bunch of errors come up but that is because the harness is not plugged in and it cant read the transmission electronics. when I plug it back in codes will not go away. then I reset the codes myself. and will not show any errors and will not move again until I disconnect thee harness.
The 4L60E needs power & signals supplied by the PCM to command the 2 shift solenoids off & on. When you disconnect the trans connector, or pull the fuse for the circuit that provides power, when put in "D" the trans will only have 3rd gear because BOTH shift solenoids are off. If in this state you pull the shift lever down into L1, the trans will actually go into 2nd due to the manual valve providing pressure to the circuit.
Maycko, you did not indicate if there were any codes stored when this vehicle came in.. Were there? If so, please list them for us.
If it matters, I just had a '96 4L60E come in last week with a similar problem to yours. It had REVERSE only. No forward movement. The customer stated she was accelerating from a green light, heard a pop, and then the trans was in neutral. She tried all manual FORWARD positions but the vehicle would not move. She then tried reverse and it worked so she backed off the road into a parking lot. When I tore that transmission down, I found that the bearing in the low planet set had gone out, then the splined section of the low planet that mates to the output shaft separated from the rest of the planet. I rebuilt that trans with a new low planet set, bushing kit, over-haul kit, thrust washer kit, bearing kit, torque converter, and she picked it up the next day happy as can be. Her pan also had very little debris in it, just a smattering of gray material on the magnet.
If you have no codes indicating problems with electrical inside the trans (and they weren't erased from a dead battery, or battery disconnected) then I would have to say the problem is INSIDE the trans.
interesting problem,
Any idea the mileage on the trans?
Have you moved the shifter all the way to manual 1 and still no movement forward?
This trans does not require voltage power to activate a solenoid for forward gears to engage.
4L60E Reverse Only
I have a Tahoe that I just purchased. It is a 97 Tahoe with a 5.7L engine and a 4L60E Transmission 4x4. I bought this vehicle due to mechanics were charging to much to repair and the owner could not afford it so I took it in my hands. This is the problem, reverse is the only gear that works. Please read carefully. The vehicle will only operate in reverse. The PCM sends the proper signals to the transmission. First, second, third no luck. There is no short in the wiring. Now if I disconnect the wire harness to the transmission the vehicle will operate now in third gear and reverse. I've read that this is known as fail safe mode. Ok the vehicle should also operate in manual second gear and it doesn't. Now keep in mind this is with the electrical harness off. The fluid levels are ok. Oil filter has been replaced and there were no metal parts in the pan but a small amount of gray mud. I've cleaned the harness plug it back in again the vehicle will only operate in reverse. I know there are a lot of threads similar to this but nothing saying the issue that I am having. I would like to know is there anything I can look at before a do a R&R?

Post-Deployment: The Long-Term Reality
Part of the Post-Deployment: The Long-Term Reality Series
Series About:
"Wars begin where you will, but do not end where you please." – Machiavelli
Conditions that have haunted war veterans since the beginning of mankind have more recently been assigned labels: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), survivor's guilt, situational depression, compassion fatigue. The tour may be over, but, for many veterans, the war rages on inside their head during waking and sleeping moments.
Wives, too, are affected by trauma experienced during deployments, be it facing alone a life-threatening situation such as a heart attack or home invasion; receiving a call informing them of their husband's injuries; or holding the sobbing, suicidal wife next-door in their arms after she's received word of her husband's death.
What's a couple to do with so much hurt? Quite simply, take it to the cross. While some post-deployment conditions might seem too much for a marriage to bear, remember: You are your spouse's helpmate, a vessel of God's mercy chosen especially for him. You and your spouse don't have to journey alone. You have God, and you have each other. If the way was impassable, He wouldn't have brought you to it. And when you can't carry your spouse or yourself, He'll carry both of you.

1st attempt.
Just completed a Saiga 308 conversion:
Mississippi Auto Arms:
The stock, trigger group and Hogue grip came from MAA. The 308 already comes with the receiver cut out for the forward control group so moving the trigger forward was not that hard. To get all the part into place is difficult. The springs and pins all have to align. Once you figure it out though it goes together pretty smoothly.
Dinzag Arms:
Provided the tritium iron sights. The front sight is very wide and takes a little getting used to.
The forearm is a Fuglystick forearm which I make. It is the first that I have made for the rifles.
Silva Coatings did the light grey and black powder coat. I find the powder coat is more durable than the gun coat and other spray and bake at home kits.
I polished the bottom of the bolt and the trigger group. Also fabbed up a custom trigger guard, added a washer to the side of the mag release to aid in mag removal and added some width to the safety in order to make it easier to use.
Tried it out yesterday and other than needing a little push on the front sight it is good to go.
Trigger came out good but not as nice as the one on my 12ga that was done by Will @ Red Jacket.

By Joe Brewin
Theo Walcott admits he was impressed with Marseille's performance at Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night.
Didier Deschamps' side proved a far greater attacking threat away from the Stade Velodrome - despite not scoring on either occasion - and the England international believes a point apiece was ultimately the right outcome.
The England winger says it was always going to be a testing encounter against the French outfit, who currently sit just a point behind Arsenal in Champions League Group F.
"It was always going to be tough," said Walcott. "Obviously a lot of people are still thinking about that game at the weekend, but Marseille are a strong team. The obvious positive from this was keeping a clean sheet.
"It's disappointing that we didn't score any goals considering the amount we got at the weekend but you can't score all the time. It was probably a fair result in the end.
"You had to give credit to Marseille at times; they came here, did a job and used the width of the pitch very well. We found it tough at times to retain the ball, but you can't always play like we did at the weekend.
"As long as we didn't lose - it's been a lot of games since we have - that's another good positive."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

im 15 and live in south Louisiana. My dad sold his mud boat right before I was born, because he didn't think i would want to duck hunt. Well the past couple year things changed. We have been hunting together since i was big enough to hold the .410 break barrel by myself (5). He bought a little 12 foot fiberglass hull boat with I believe a 15hp mercury outboard engine from the 90's about 4 years ago. Then, he bought me a Benelli Supernova 12 gauge (i have shot .410, 20 gauge, and so far 275 rounds of 12 gauge on trap shooting alone) Anyways, he wants to get back into duck hunting. We don't have the money to get a go devil surface drive motor anything like that, so we have to make due with what we have. we also have a fiberglass pirogue to use in the shallow water.
My dad's friend found a spot for us to hunt at, but we would have to get to the levee in the motorboat and then paddle in the pirogue to our spot because the water gets really shallow. the problem is, how would we get all the decoys, packs, guns, food, etc. from the main boat into the pirogue and then into the blind? also, i don't see a way to fit everything including the pirogue in the main boat. your suggestions?
also, would i need to get a pair of waders? or should hip boots work good enough?
lastly, should we invest in a pre made blind, or make a blind in the marsh from scratch? they have alligators and snakes and such out there, so im not sure.

CNN economics correspondent wrong again on Social Security
For the second time in three days, CNN economics correspondent Kathleen Hays made an inaccurate claim regarding Social Security. On the February 3 edition of CNN's Wolf Blitzer Reports, Hays incorrectly claimed that under the current system, workers are unable to "pass their Social Security retirement benefits on to their heirs." In fact, surviving spouses and children can all obtain benefits based on the lifetime payroll taxes paid by a deceased parent or spouse.
As the Social Security Administration explains [1], a surviving spouse is entitled to receive the "full benefits" that the deceased spouse would have been entitled to upon reaching the standard retirement age (currently 65, but scheduled over time to increase to 67). Even divorced spouses are entitled to those benefits, subject to certain conditions. Before reaching retirement age, a surviving spouse caring for a child under the age of 18 (or 19 if that child is still in high school) is also entitled to receive significant monthly benefits.
From the February 3 edition of CNN's Wolf Blitzer Reports:
HAYS: Another plus -- it would give workers a way to pass their Social Security retirement benefits on to their heirs. Under the current system, those benefits stay with the government.
On February 1, Hays erroneously understated the amount of benefits that the Social Security trust fund will be able to pay future retirees if no changes are made to the system, as Media Matters for America documented [2].

Howdy! Well after all the cargo hold buys/sells and a ton of PMs, here's where I'm at. When you rip into it (and I encourage you!) please remember this is for trooping 501st events, not display in my home (sadly) so I feel I can sacrifice a bit on accuracy.
Attachment 67764
Well look at that paunch! I swear it didn't look so large while standing there, haha.
The knees are sagging because I hadn't sewn in the velcro on them yet, and in fact this fitting was to determine where to fit them.
Also, I had somehow lost some of the magnets for the backing of my chest pieces and thats why the pieces arent lined up right.
Looking at the pics right after putting them on, it felt like I could pull the armor vest a bit tighter and looking at the pics it looks like I could easily so that I may consider.
Oh, and I know the spats need a LOT of dirty-ing up!
I intend to wear a black balaclava till I can install a chin skirt. This is with a BM bucket. The MR covers some more, but Looking at the pics I quite prefer the look of the BM to the MR on me personally.
Attachment 67765
I am VERY happy with how the tubes turned out. Granted the glue keeps coming looose on the gauntlet so may have to figure out what size screw to put in to hold them firmer.
On the jetpack, I have a vest, not harness. Thinking I can/should try to shorten the straps. The JP looks like it hangs a bit low/far away from my body?
Yes the belt pouches, like the spats, need to be weathered.
Attachment 67766
I'm thinking the shift to my left is due to the straps not being the exact same length so maybe when I shorted I can even that out also?
I need to put the strap under my crotch connecting butt to crotch plates.
Need to figure out a solution to attaching braids.
Attachment 67767
Again, weathering of the belt pouch and spat.
Attachment 67768
So, I need to figure out how and where to run the wire for the chest lights to the battery pack. Thoughts?
REALLY need to figure out a way to keep the girth belt in place partially on the cod, and the ammo belt higher so it doesn't slide. Velcro? Snaps somehow?
Huh, just realized the gloves need weathering also. Good thing I intend to get some new MoW gloves since these are way too much on the short size.
Attachment 67769
Huh. Is my ammo vest too short? Also what size screw are you using on 1/4" tubing to hold them in place.
Attachment 67770
Love the positioning on the belt pouch. Covers the elastic I had to put between the cod and butt plates.
Attachment 67771
Many thanks to Verbal21 for getting me most of the way here. Additional nod to DarthVorhees who did all the paint jobs for Verbal before I came into possession.
On a sad note, while helping me take things off, my gf held the JP by the magnetically held rocket, and the JP took a 3 foot drop to the floor. One of the thrusters popped in half (fixable) and the main mounts in the JP itself cracked and shifted. I was able to push it back into place, and it should be fine for trooping, but looks like I'll be keeping a hawkeye for a painted ROTJ jetpack in the cargo hold.
So please, helpful ideas are welcome! Oh, I did have a big question. It was **** warm in there! How do you keep cool?
Thanks in advance for all the help.
~ Kevin

Shepherd pup with small dogs?
Hey out there.
I'm a dog lover an had 2 shepherds growing up. Now I'm married an the wife wanted 2 small dogs. Now that I just got a house an we have a big yard I'm getting a puppy shepherd. I just dnt kno which would be better for my situation a male of a female???would one get along better with a toy breed than the other? Or does it even matter? Both small dogs are male if that matters an r both 1 yr old. An neutered. Please help
When I got my pup, I got a lot of advice to get a female. They said females were less dominant and therefore easier to train. I dunno how true this is but I did get a female n so far I'm having a great time. I dunno about the small dogs though. Never owned one.

I have a small min pin female and our breeder said to get a male. They said the opposite sex will work best because sometimes the same sex will feel the need to compete with each other.

We have 2 small Australian silky terriers, both female. We then got our shepherd puppy (who's 9 months now) and they get along great!! Not sure how 3 females would have gotten along though, but the female/male combination seems to be working.
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
I have a male 1y Chi, neutered recently and a 4m gs/mix. They get along great! I think the larger size of the gs keeps the little guy in check sometimes, lol!
I supervise their play and if I feel it's too rough, I call a halt; they'll stop for a minute then go back to playing. The halt does take it down a notch so it doesn't get too rough. I've also observed that the Chi will let a yelp when he's being hurt and the gs pup will back off for a sec before they go back to playing.
I find that they teach each other their boundaries quite well. I don't interfere until I believe it's too rough. If I notice that the gs is pulling the Chi from room to room by his tail and his play-growls and groans are escalating, and the Chi has a look of "help" in his eyes, I'll stop him. Other than that, I let them play the way they want. I think it's important to let them set their own rules. Like siblings. So, yes, I do let the pup take hold of the Chi's tail or halter and pull or whatnot - as long as no one's being seriously hurt. I think it is important that the Chi understand that this pup has power and he needs to know what the pup is capable of. Otherwise, his 'little dog' mind set will get him into trouble. He has a tendency to be dominant and wants to be the ruler SO bad that he challenges my authority on the regular. And little dogs can get themselves into trouble if they don't understand that bigger dogs can seriously hurt them.
I'm lucky though, my pup is very responsive and listens well, so all it takes is an "hey" from me, and he pauses long enough to let the Chi gain ground. Actually, they both pause.
All of that to say- it can be a good mix but has to be managed and monitored.
I also have a cat and the pup LOVES 'his' cat! He mauls him regularly. The cat tolerates it b/c he's pretty tough and not much phases him, and he also knows he could shred that pup if he wanted to. In fact, as I type this, he was harassing the cat, who in turn brought out the claws and made the pup cry. I'm not sad, or sorry for him one bit ;)
My only advise would be do not do two females in the same household.

What does this image show?This is a French colour lithograph poster celebrating French and Allied victories and the recovery of Alsace and Lorraine, which were lost to the Germans following defeat in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871. A French soldier holds the French tricolour on a flag pole, flanked by a woman in traditional Alsace costume, and a woman in Lorraine costume who brings the flag to her lips to kiss it. The flag-bearing young man is immediately identifiable as a French infantry soldier (known as 'poilu', the equivalent of the British 'Tommy') by his uniform: the 'Adrian' steel helmet, the blue wool greatcoat, the canvas bag and the rifle. The laurel branches symbolising victory partially hide the words, 'Marne, Yser, Somme, Verdun', on the upper border.
What is the meaning of this image?The poster is undated, but must date from 1917 or more likely 1918. It aims to boost French morale by pointing to the forthcoming victorious peace: 'the Dawn', and celebrating French victories in battle. The Battle of the Marne (September 1914) stopped the German advance on Paris; while the Battle of the Yser (October-November 1916) saw Belgian troops and French marines prevent the Germans from reaching the French ports of Calais and Dunkirk. In the Battle of Verdun (February – December 1916) the French managed to hold on to the fortress of Verdun in the East of the country. Verdun is the iconic French battle, equivalent to the Somme for the British. French troops also fought on the Somme sustaining about 340,000 casualties, nearly as many as at Verdun. As the war dragged on, French war propaganda dwelt on the recovery of Alsace and Lorraine from the Germans and used this aim as a reason to justify continued fighting and to boost morale. The artist, Henri Royer, was himself a native of Lorraine.

Re: Use Your Imagination
Hey guys! Thanks for the early votes. The idea behind this design is an origami dragon crawling out of a book, symbolizing a creation of a character from the reader's imagination. As a little note, the text is from "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo." Also, this is a continuation of a style of design that I created a few years ago that some may remember, called "Fly, Paper." I've been wanted to do another origami-type shirt and I am glad that this gave me the opportunity.

All eyes will be on you as you walk down the aisle on your wedding day. That's why many brides are serious about getting in shape and striking a balance between eating healthy and exercising beforehand. Don't let working out become an added stress on top of all the wedding planning though. Take into consideration your height, weight (don't let the scale scare you) and level of activity before you set your goals. Be realistic. It doesn't mean you should purchase your wedding gown four sizes smaller in hopes of losing all that weight. What if you don't? Getting in shape before your wedding means you will need to make effective not dramatic changes to your lifestyle, and remember, it's okay to reward yourself. Of course, with non-food treats like a manicure, pedicure or massage. The best side effect of getting in shape, you may ask? All the energy you will have to dance the night away at your reception.
Which exercise did you find the most rewarding? Let us know in the poll below!

Got a bunch of work finished tonight, thanks to adam45 for hosting.
The air passages are tapped for cocker barbs, the bolt and dump chamber valve now have manual control out the back. I'll still need to make some kind of oringed assembly to keep the dump chamber valve sealed while the cocking rod goes out the back, but that should be simple. Had to turn down an Automag ASA so that the pump rod can clear it.
LPR will go to a pneumatic trigger which will directly open the valve. There will be a backblock that will be attached to the bolt and cock the cocking rod and open the dump chamber to allow it to fill. :gunsfiring:
Here's my original concept video on YouTube if you didn't see it.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|This thread is 6 years old.
injection problems.
yeah i have the 87 camaro too and its not firing. we changed the whole starter and ignition system in it. we've narrowed it down to the fuel injectors or fuel lines. its getting spark but i dont think any fuel to ignite. there is 0 pressure coming from the fuel thingy behind the plenum (where it should squirt out fuel or air depending). nothing...Could it be a leak in the fuel line?
Add on
Sorry, the car was running before but when we were working with it and changed the water pump it started to slow and almost completly idle no matter how much gas given, now it went from running to currently just turning over and not cranking, trying to fire up once after you start turning it over but after that, just turning over. We also changed out the computer on it and my friend checked the fuel pressure before we started taking things apart to get down to the injectors(what a pain just for the injectors) and he said the fuel pressure was fine...the fuel pump was checked before and put back but the ring somehow got dropped into the tank we got it out and went bought a new pump with new seal rings , the guy at autozone said that without the ring in place it would not let the tank become pressurized so this we changed along with the new pump. well just thought i would try to give some more info on this what we did maybe someone could get a better picture than i gave before. Like i said it was running and kind of started to slow then before it crapped out it was just barely wanting to go when you gave it gas, not sure why. Where the fuel vacuum line is above the injectors(in that area toward the inside of the car not the nose) when we took the top off , we werent sure if we did it or it was already broken but that vacuum line looked like it was already broken, but if it was broken before how would it have ever ran....any advice?
|Custom, better check out the 350's as the poat!!!! not the 3.4s.
|I know for a fact that on the 3.4L Chevy engines, there's an extra lobe on the cam for the fuel injection. The 3.1 and 3.4 FWD engines also have this extra lobe. I'm not familiar with the TPI 350's. But here's one for ya...I have a 1995 Camaro with the 5.7 350 and the cam runs the water pump...there's no pully on the water pump. The distributor is also located below the water pump (over the timing cover) so ya can never tell about these newer engines lol sorry if I misled you about the extra lobe...I just remembered running into that when I was going to put a cam in my fuel injected 3.4 and couldn't do it with the fuel injection system still sitting on top...would have had to change out to TB or carb..anyway good luck with diagnosing the problem lol
|forget the post about the extra lobe on the cam!!!! NO WAY
|Think I would be checking the power and grounds at the computer. Just finished a 85 Corvette TPI that wouldn't idle and ran like s***T. The guys that put the engine in didn't connect the computer ground at the left rear cly head for the O2 and injector control curcuit. The Iroc is the same system except it uses 2 relays for the MAF sensor burn off. The spark plugs shouldn't be "wet" but light brown. You need a scanner to test this system to see what all is doing. Complicated system that goes into "limp" mode" if computor fails so you can get home. If it runs it isn't going to be cap, rotor, module problem. BUT in all the post you put up you never said what the symptoms were ONLY what you changed so need more #s on what readings of sensors and GEE what's it doing?? If they changed engine they forgot to hook a ground to computer.
|a lot of fuel injected engines have an extra lobe on the camshaft to run the fuel injection. I'm not sure about the TPI, but I know a lot of the MPFI and SFI applications do have this extra lobe. Depending on whether or not your engine does have this lobe and also depending on the mileage of the engine, your lobe may be worn down enough that the injectors are not firing in time with the intake valves opening. I hope that makes sense lol and hope you figure out the problem.
Hmmmmnn. Sparkplugs in a running engine should never be wet. What kind of test were you supposed to be doing that would result in wet spark plugs? The 87 IROC is the first year of the 350 TPI, I believe, and it was a "batch fire" system. You should have 24# per hr injectors and your fuel pressure should be regulated to 41-43 PSI. You have completed a pretty logical sequence of checks and replacements to this point. Now I would check the fuel pressure with the engine running. Be sure the guage is hooked up before start and you disconnect after shut down. If pressure is good, then you need to read your engine codes. Auto Zone, Pepboys etc should be able to help you with this to see if you have some obvious problems. Then you want to look at your Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) You check it with an ohm meter and look for for _.4 to +.2 ohms at the engine off,idle position. Then move the throttle smoothly to the WOT position and back to idle, watching for the ohmmeter to increase/decrease smoothly with the throttle. This is the usual suspect for a poorly running TPI since it works a bunch for normal driving, especially city driving. Next would be your Mass Ai Flow Sensor (MAF) which is in the air inlet before the air cleaner. Then the last would be your oxygen sensor, which is a plug with wire (s) in the exhaust pipe just after the exhaust manifold. The above mentioned parts stores should be able to tell you if your system is in open or closed loop. It should be in closed loop. If it is in open loop, you need to replace the 02 sensor because the engine will run too rich in the open loop mode. There are two sensors that seldome fail and that is the inlet air temp and the coolant temp ( normally seperate from your coolant temp guage sensor). The MAF, 02 and TPS are expensive enough that you do not want to start replacing them unless you have a known failure.
Good luck.
|you said you changed the fuel pump, did you bleed the air out of the fuel rail?
Fuel/firing Problems with Fuel Injected TPI engine 87 camaro z28
I am having some problems and dont know what the next step to do is. I have a 1987 camaro iroc-z z-28 TPI, 350 5.7L , I just bought it off a guy and it ran "ok" but i knew some work was needed to be right. First, the water pump was bad, so we changed it and then the starter went bad right after that(it was already giving us problems) so we changed the starter also. We changed the fuel pump and filter for kicks to make sure it hadent got any bad fuel, and put good fuel.the 4 front belts were also changed. We treated and changed the enigne/transmission oil and power steering fluid wich were all in serious need since the car had sat for some time, the guy claimed to have changed the engine and i talked to the original owner that my friend knew and he said his had a knock, and when we did have the other one running it seemed fine with no nocks . We checked the rotor / distributor cap and all were fine and then we checked to make sure all the spark plugs were firing, they were. We got down to the fuel injectors and they are spraying like they are supposed to, but my friend said that the spark plugs werent getting wet, and they were supposed to be, does anyone have any suggestions on what to check next?
thanks, Herschel

My family loves these chicken stew packets on camping trips, but they're equally good on our backyard grill. —Florence Kreis, Beach Park, Illinois
Featured In: How to Cook in Foil Packets
- 1 broiler/fryer chicken (3-1/2 to 4 pounds), cut up
- 3 to 4 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup thinly sliced carrots
- 1 medium green pepper, sliced
- 1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- Grill chicken, covered, over medium heat for 3 minutes on each side. Place two pieces of chicken on each of four double thicknesses of heavy-duty foil (about 18 in. x 12 in.). Divide the potatoes, carrots and green pepper among the packets. Top each with soup, water, salt and pepper. Fold foil around mixture and seal tightly.
- Grill, covered, over medium heat for 20-25 minutes on each side or until chicken juices run clear. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape. Yield: 4 servings.

The Senate very quietly passed a bill exempting many firms from the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC's) "Red Flags" rules this week.
the Red Flag Program Clarification Act of 2010, the Senate voted by
unanimous consent to amend the Fair Credit Reporting Act's (FCRA's)
definition of "creditor," offering further clarification on one of the
"Red Flags" rules' vaguest provisions and ultimately limiting the scope
of the regulations. Specifically, the bill further defines a creditor as
any entity who, in the ordinary course of business, obtains or uses
consumer reports in connection with a credit transaction; furnishes
information to consumer reporting agencies in connection with a credit
transaction; and advances funds "based on an obligation of the person to
repay the funds or repayable from specific property pledged by or on
behalf of that person."
the bill is designed to exempt law firms, accountants, doctors, nurse
practitioners and other service providers from the "Red Flags" rules,
but also sweeps small businesses out from underneath the regulations'
reach. The bill was introduced jointly by Senators John Thune (R-SD) and
Mark Begich (D-AL), both of whom described the bill as a relief to
smaller firms across the country. "Small businesses in South Dakota and
across our country are the engines of job growth for America," said
Thune. "Forcing them to comply with misdirected and costly federal
regulations included in the FTC Red Flags Rule will hurt their ability
to create jobs and continue growing our economy."
"It is very
important to consider the needs of small businesses, such as medical
providers, when implementing consumer protections," Begich added. "Our
goal is to streamline requirements for businesses to ensure the proper
implementation without onerous costs."
The bill has been referred to the House Financial Services Committee for further consideration.
FTC has so far made no comment on the bill's passage through the
Senate, but Chairman Jon Leibowitz had previously urged Congress to pass
similar legislation that further clarifies the rule and its
application. "Congress needs to fix the unintended consequences of the
legislation establishing the Red Flags Rules-and to fix this problem
quickly," said Leibowitz in the FTC's May 2010 press release announcing a
delay in the rule's enforcement date till December 31, 2010. That date
is currently still in effect, but the clarification act could become law
before then, preempting the regulations' enforcement for many of the
nation's small businesses and service providers.

I'm looking to buy some cheap Belt Pouches (the ones that hang on hip). It doesn't have to be screen accurate, but I'd like it to be close. I am open on Material and prefer a dark brown or black. Looking to spend $20 or less for both preferribly.
If I can't find them, I'll sew them, but I really prefer not to. Thank you all!

Science and sustainability reporter John McGrath curates a reading list in the field of science every Wednesday.
Keep up with the world of science by reading these local and national stories:
1. Monitoring our Liquid Assets:
The Ogallala Aquifer will be depleted by 70 percent by 2060. This huge underwater aquifer is one of the largest in the world and stretches across eight states, including South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico and Texas. At a value of $1.96 billion, it used to produce 60 percent of electricity in Kansas. Greg Foley, executive director with the Kansas Department of Agriculture's division of conservation, spoke a crowd at the Garden City Farm and Ranch Show about how Kansas is dealing with this problem.
2. Bill Nye the Science Guy explains Climate Change:
The popular science guy, Bill Nye, gives a great explanation of climate change and does it in an easy, fun way. Hey, he wears a bow tie!
3. MARC shares concern about Freight Network:
Congress directed the Department of Transportation to identify a highway freight network of 27,000–30,000 miles as part of one aspect of the nation's freight policy. MARC has reviewed the proposed network with local stakeholders and has released their comments on the matter.
