I've never had my Glock fully disassembled, but that's what I thought air compressors were for.
I think it'd be fun from the educational side of things to break it down that far, but I can get it spicky-span clean just as easy without tearing it down all the way. A little cleaning fluid, a brush and an air compressor usually gets rid of anything that will matter.

Hey boys and girls it has been a long time since I had a paint up thread on here but I am back at it. brandontrueblue contacted me to paint his ASOK CC helmet for him so what follows is the paint thread for that. I will preface it with the fact the pictures are likely to not be great at first because my wife has manged to misplace our digital camera for the time being so until I find it I am stuck using my cell phone. Sorry.
So here we go. This first update will have a bunch of stuff because it encompasses several days worth of work.
First up is the primer coat layer. I don't know why but I always love the look of Fett helmets in primer. It just looks so clean and neat.
Next I did the dome and Lower cheeks.
Then the back was painted Concrete and stencils were drawn, I switched after doing the left side of the back in black carbon stencils to a white as it was much eaiser to see.
This shows the liquid masking laid down
The helmet also has the back green painted and the red done but I forgot to take photos of those two stages before leaving this morning for work.

|what kind of clear are you using? Is it being shot with humidity in the air (garage or outside) is it a forced dry clear or a air dry clear? ARe you using the right reducers/hardeners for the proper temperatures?
|Old Fool
1: take Barry's advice.
2: use SPI primers and clears and SPI base whenever possible and save some of your Looneys and have great results.
|69 widetrack
Just to add to "33Willys77", if the base would need to be sanded to achieve mechanical adhesion it would need to be rebased as well, especially if, as you mentioned, your spraying the car a metallic silver.
|I agree with 69 widetrack. 2 days waiting is not good. There are 2 types of adhesion - chemical and mechanical. If the base drys too long, you wont get the chemical adhesion, therefore the base would need to be sanded or scuffed.
|69 widetrack
No1. With respect to letting your base dry for 2 days before top coating can be a problem as well. Flash times are important but to much flash can give you similar results as not enough flash time. Most major paint manufacturer's recommend clearing base coat with 24 hours of basing and maintaining a temperature of about 70 degree...If your temperature is warmer it would need to be cleared sooner. 2 days may be to much flash time and clear coat adhesion may be a problem down the road. There are so many variables as to how much base you but on will also affect the recoatability time....check your tech sheets.
No.2 Allow more flash time between coats of base...make sure that solvents have evaporated, especially if you have a low hiding color and need multipul coats of base for coverage...pounding base on to get coverage is a recipe for disaster and as BarryK mentioned, solvents coming out of improperly flashed base coat can and will cause your clear to die off or give you that hazy look.
No3. How much air flow have you got in the area that your painting in? To little air flow will cause your base to not flash properly in the manufacturer's recommended times...To much air flow will cause your base to appear to be flashed off when only the top has flashed and the solvents are still trapped underneath and will come out over a period of time after you have cleared the car and have cut and buffed it...you can also have a delamination problem with improperly flashed base coats, when the solvents in the base try to escape, they often take the cured clear with it.
So to answer your questions...lighter coats of base, more flash time between coats of base, make sure your air flow is proper and check your tech sheets for maximum recoatability times.
Hope this helps.
I think the air supply is ok i will add one of those mini filters to the gun next time.
I think my problem is to much base coats to get coverage. and not letting it dry enough.
that hand slick rule does not work for this stuff..
just a side note.. I was looking at the area I sanded and buffed today. and it looks like the first picture again.( getting fuzzy) this is so dum.
I am trying to think what I should do to correct this. was thinking to let dry a week then sand. hit new base coat. let dry 2 days then go to the clear. what you all think?
|Make sure you have a dry air in the hose when spraying and a good filter. Some high solids clear can actually trap moisture and air when being applied (very thick clear). Is the clear drying to fast? With the amount of orange peel, appears it may be drying too fast and the clear is not laying down flat. I have seen this with some Sherwin and PPG. I now use Wanda paint and I have superior results - plus I lay much more clear than most people do on a car because I am burying artwork. Make sure your flash times are correct - make sure the base is dry. Make sure your air pressure is high enough to atomize the clear.
Southern Polyurethanes Inc
SPI has been mentioned a lot on this forum and I believe they have a canadian distributor now which makes it easier for you. Someone with more experience will chime in shortly Im sure
whats a good system to go with for clear these days?
hard to find in my area solvent based stuff these days
The last time I had this problem, I had used some PPG Concept paint that a customer had already bought. I sanded and buffed... but the orange peel and a couple sags came back!!!
I fielded the question about having the clear continue to shink over very long periods... and a guy who used only that system said to let it dry 2-3 months before i sand and buff!!! Screw that!
My own clear reaches a stable finish in 1-2 days, and never ever shrinks again! It might be the nature of your paint system, keeping it from being good for anything but force-drying... or requires a pefect mixture, ideal conditions, and flawless spray technique.
Personally... when a product proves to be too sensitive... I never use it again! }:-(
is this what we are talking about? I too have this problem
first picture is my problem
second picture is after a wet sand and buff
3rd picture 50/50shot
I am using the sherwin wiliams dementions base and clear.
this problem comes and goes for me. I am trying to narrow it down.
I am thinking to many base coats and not enough dry time.. first problem is the demensions base is so (water down) needs alot of coats to fill colour correctly.
I use to paint with the Sherwin Williams Ultra 7000 which was so great but can't get local no more. so working with what I can
after the clear is buffed etc I too see it come back to a little foggy after a week or 2.
base is mixed 2:1 and clear is 4:1 I am using a med hardner
temp inside is about 15c
its winter in canada so can't do much more in my paint room
Barry is right, most people rush to get the second and third coats on. What seems like 20 minutes of waiting is usually 5 minutes. You get rushed to get the job done and apply the next coat way to early.
The solvents (reducers) get trapped under the next coat and after 3 coats of base, that's a lot of solvent under there. It works it's way to the clear and clouds the clear. The next event will be delamination.
Frank Cox
Yes those colors are the ones that cause the problems 99% of the time.
Remember, contrary to what the cut and paster moderators post on here (just a couple)
Humidity plays a big roll as to how fast the solvents get out, so when the humidity is high, it is very important that the first coat gets extra flash time.
A good rule of thumb is at 70 degrees 50% humidity or more first coat should flash 39 minutes.
Also with the blues and greens they tend to not cover as well and obviously if you now have 5-8 coats of base to cover there is a lot of solvents still trapped.
Worse part is when you see these contraction and hazing problems, they can also lead to poor shone chip resistance and or even de-lamination of the base, if solvents trapped in first coat or de-lamination of clear if just cleared to soon.
Water-base is even more critical.
|richard cash
i use 2k primer sealer yes with approx 10% or less solvent. I use 2k HS clear with no solvent. I use a mix of waterbase and solvent basecoat. Come to think of it, the last two colours i sprayed where this was apparent was a royal blue and black, both in solvent. I use the same slow speed reducer for everything.
The bonnet i did recently had a reaction with some previous paint and i had to dry flat this and spray the colour on really dry. I managed to get the colour on ok after about 10-12coats of real thin base, then cleared again with no solvent. The day after the hazing effect was quite apparent, probably the most noticable ive ever see it.
oldBodyman, your comments are the most interesting and i will definatly try leaving the base over night to see what happens!
|did you use 2K sealer? I was thinking maybe solvent in base/clear is reacting with body filler, etc underneath.

Re: looking for dinghy/tender ideas
Like Baboon, I am a fan of the old Avon Redcrest. I have a 1976 with inflatable seat and a removable motor bracket (no hard floor) that is still serving well as a second denghy. I got it used in 1982 and carried it aboard in a locker for years. Initially it was my main dink, then we got a hard sailing dinghy that was towed and the Avon went into a locker. It was still the only dink I carried when out overnight or longer runs like Cape Cod to eastern Maine when I didn't want anything towed (my wife would bring the sailing dink on car roof - long story). In any case, these are very long lived although I don't know about coral. Mine has survived three sons in great shape. There are still a number of them in the Virgin Islands, i know. Mine is still in back-up service today, and has never had a leak.
Re: looking for dinghy/tender ideas
I had an inflatable, roll up dink for ages. It was second hand when I got it, and finally did nearly two circumnavigation a before it died in the butt, totally and utterly.
The best bit was it really could roll up into nothing and be stowed in a lazarette or on deck. The electric pump whoofed it up in seconds and it was good with a 3.3hp donk on it.
Problem with kayaks and sailing dinks is you can't thrown a load of shopping in them. When I provision for a passage there might be $600 of groceries. You need a propper dink for that not a kayak!
The inflatable floor jobbies are even better.
Remember they won't last as long as a hard bottom... Just 1 1/2 circumnavigations!
Re: looking for dinghy/tender ideas
We have faced the same problem on our 30ft boat. After trying the rigid dink, hard and inflatable yaks, we ended up with a used avon redcrest. It is made out of hypalon, stonger, lighter and much more UV resistant than most other inflatables. The lack of rowing speed is an issue, but that is more than offset by the benefits for us. It is light enough for one person to lift aboard, and can be half deflated and put over the front of the cabin house. Fully deflated it fits in about 1/2 of a quarter berth. It inflates very quick with the foot pump included with the dingy, I have never felt the need to use a powered air pump. It is a bear to get into it's storage bag, we usually do that on the dock. It also tows ok for shorter distances. I also looked at an achllles LT2 or LT4, similar hypalon models but more availabe in our area.
Like you our boat does not have a swim step so ketting in and out of the inflatable is much easyer than the rigid dink. Getting in and out of a kayak from a sailboat using only the boarding ladder is a real trial and almost impossible in chop.
Re: looking for dinghy/tender ideas

This is how we carry them nowadays:
Gerhauer makes some simple outboard kayak racks to hang them off the outside of the lifelines, the brackets swivel flush for docking and mount on the bottom of two stanchions. These do need to be located with an eye to keeping them out of the water when heeled (so not at max beam)
We have occasionally towed our (rigid plastic) kayaks but find that they seem to randomly flip on occasion, and when they do that's a lot of drag and a bit awkward to right once it's half flooded. Our most successful towing was to tow them close behind a towed inflatable dinghy, one off each pontoon.

Re: looking for dinghy/tender ideas
On my 28' sailboat, I wrassled with this same problem and tried every possible type of dinghy, inflatable, inflatable kayak, rigid dinghy, home built nesting dinghy, etc. Finally found an 8' porta-bote for $250. Very worn but once I replaced some of the hardware it works very well. It is carried beside the lifelines. It is lightweight and can be easily assembled on the small foredeck. It is light enough to be easily pulled aboard without using the halyard. It rows well. It carries three men.
The homebuilt nesting 2-paw 9 was great but heavy. It was hard to assemble on deck, It obstructed the view forward when nested on deck.
Re: looking for dinghy/tender ideas
If you go the inflatable route, be sure to get a very good electric reversible pump. I spent my childhood as the "foot pump kid". I twitch just thinking of it. Electric pumps on reverse can really get them empty for folding, much better and faster than rolling. If you had to fill/empty manually, you would dread going to shore eventually.
Re: looking for dinghy/tender ideas
I use a West Marine inflatable 2 person kayak. It's easy to stow, easy to inflate, easy to row, and cheap.
Re: looking for dinghy/tender ideas
It should fit on your foredeck it's certainly light enough. Just tow it on short runs. It also shades sun over the front lift hatch if you have one.
Uh..your taking a C27 from MT overland and then down the coast to fla and beyond? (eek!)
Re: looking for dinghy/tender ideas
The 8 foot port-a-bote might be in your future, look for used ones if the full up new one is outside your budget. You can fold it to surf board sized and tie it to the rails/life lines

|An APA is a contract, usually for multiple years, between a taxpayer and at least one tax authority specifying the pricing method that the taxpayer will apply to its related-company transactions. These programmes are designed to help taxpayers voluntarily resolve actual or potential transfer pricing disputes in a proactive, cooperative manner, as an alternative to the traditional examination process.
Although styled as "advance" agreements, APAs often involve the resolution of transfer pricing issues pending from prior years—and in some cases can provide an effective means for resolving existing transfer pricing audits or adjustments.
An APA offers a company several other benefits. It provides greater certainty on the transfer pricing method adopted, mitigating the possibility of disputes and facilitating the financial reporting of potential tax liabilities. Importantly, an APA also reduces the incidence of double taxation, and the costs associated with both audit defence and documentation preparation.
How we can helpAssistance with APA requests is one of the key offerings of PwC's global tax controversy and dispute resolution network. We have substantial experience helping companies across a diverse range of industries obtain APAs covering a broad spectrum of intercompany transactions. Many of our professionals hail from academia, industry, and prominent positions within governments—including senior-level positions in governmental agencies responsible for administering APAs.
We can work with you to develop strategies at both the global and local level, and guide you through the process of requesting APAs to help you ensure successful outcomes.

Family legacy inspires mass repair effort
Seventy-nine-year-old Richard S. Morris III carries on his father's legacy of volunteer work and entrepreneurial spirit, one that has served the talking-book patrons of South Carolina for nearly half a century. The volunteer group his father started has repaired more than 27,300 cassette players, with volunteers donating more than 56,600 hours of work.
In 1961, even before a talking-book library was established in South Carolina, Richard S. Morris Jr. organized a group of telephone company retirees in Columbia to join the national Telephone Pioneers volunteer organization (now called TelecomPioneers) to repair talking-book players for South Carolina patrons receiving service from North Carolina. By 1991 Morris's group had repaired 12,000 cassette machines and 5,100 record players, contributing more than 34,000 hours of service. In a newspaper interview the elder Morris gave in 1991, it was evident that he found his volunteer work satisfying: "Every time we repair a talking-book machine, we're helping a blind person enjoy a book that he or she may not otherwise be able to enjoy, and that's a great feeling."
Richard Morris III remembers his father: "He became the real technical expert of the group. Everyone would go to him with the problems they couldn't solve. My dad won several awards, including one from the governor. He was also named Pioneer of the Year for his participation with and formation of this group."
Morris Jr. led the volunteer unit until a few months before his death in 1994, contributing a total of 33 years of service to South Carolina patrons. His colleagues continued the repair work after Morris died, and in 2008 they asked his son to join the group.
Morris III said, "After my father died the other members asked me if I wanted to come down and join the group—and I said very much so. It's more than just a group of repairmen. We're really like brothers. "We feel like we are really contributing to the needs of the blind community. We think it is an honor to be able to meet their needs in this way. I have a friend in Knoxville who lost his sight and uses this service. He says talking books are a good tool for helping the visually impaired."
Morris III and eight other volunteers work every Tuesday morning in the library. They no longer repair record players, but repair and recondition the library's inventory of cassette machines.
"With the end of production for these cassette players, the role volunteers play in the talking-book program is more important than ever! The S.C. State Library applauds their overwhelming dedication and commitment to library services for visually impaired and handicapped library patrons," remarked Naomi Bradey, volunteer coordinator.
New Mexico library recognizes service contributions
The fourth annual volunteer recognition party for the New Mexico Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (NMLBPH) took place on May 12, 2008, at the Stewart L. Udall Center for Museum Resources, which is part of the Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA) in Santa Fe.
The 2008 honored volunteer was Norman Snider, a retired telephone worker who has been repairing C1 talking-book machines from his home in Roswell, New Mexico, since 1995. Snider has repaired an average of twelve units per month with help from his wife Cathy, who cleans the parts after Norm disassembles the unit. Their help has been greatly appreciated by the New Mexico equipment control manager, Steven Barnett.
The party's featured speaker was John Pen La Farge, author of Turn Left at the Sleeping Dog, which he narrated for the local recording program. La Farge spoke on the art and discipline of collecting and organizing oral histories and cited acclaimed author and broadcaster Studs Terkel as an inspiration.
The event was funded by the Friends of the NMLBPH and included light refreshments along with gifts of imprinted water bottles and museum passes from the DCA.

John Wilkinson, author of Update's student-instructor dialog, retires
Literary braille advisor John Wilkinson, who was the author of Update's student-instructor dialog, retired on January 3, 2008, after 33 years of service at NLS. "John has been an invaluable member of the NLS staff," said NLS director Frank Kurt Cylke. "With his strong work ethic and personable nature, he has trained thousands of people to become braille transcribers and proofreaders over the past three decades."
Wilkinson trained nearly 5,000 transcribers and proofreaders, according to NLS consumer relations officer Judith Dixon's calculations. "And the transcribers and proofreaders love him," said Dixon.
The only child of an auto mechanic from rural Virginia and a coal miner's daughter from West Virginia, Wilkinson was the first blind student in the state of Maryland to complete a mainstream public school education, graduating from High Point High School in Prince George's County.
"I developed a great respect and affection for braille transcribers in the course of my education because of the indispensable help they provided," said Wilkinson. He received a bachelor of music education, summa cum laude, from American University in Washington, D.C., in 1973.
Wilkinson added, "A friend of mine knew Charles Galosi, who was the NLS director at that time, and she told him about me. I met with him and Maxine Dorf (then supervisor of training specialists in the Volunteer Services Section). They told me that they would call me when a position opened and I could apply."
On April 1, 1975—"April Fool's Day," Wilkinson joked—he was hired as a braille instructor in the Volunteer Training Section. He eventually became a senior braille specialist in the Braille Codes Section, which later became the Braille Development Section.
Wilkinson was promoted to literary braille advisor in 1988. In this role his primary responsibility was to grade trial manuscripts from students in braille transcription programs. He also answered complex questions from transcribers, teachers, and proofreaders via phone or e-mail; evaluated lessons and certified proofreaders; and wrote the student-instructor dialog column for Update. In addition to his training responsiblities, Wilkinson transcribed White House and congressional documents into braille and translated braille documents into print.
In 1994 Wilkinson received the Fred L. Sinclair Award from the California Transcribers and Educators of the Visually Handicapped (CTEVH) for "outstanding contributions to the education of the visually impaired," an honor given only occasionally by CTEVH to individuals who merit special recognition. He was cited as "the nation's number-one braille emergency helper at the other end of an 800 number; the man whose judgment we rely on when an author's sometimes-confusing intent needs to be made clear in braille; and the man who is always conscientiously and patiently available to help us provide our students with the highest possible quality of braille." Wilkinson also served on the Braille Authority of North America's Literary Braille Technical Committee from 1988 to 2007.
During his retirement, Wilkinson hopes "to travel some and pursue my music." A huge sports fan, he looks forward to following his favorite Washington teams: the Redskins, Nationals, Wizards, and Capitals.
Volunteers master new skills
Between November 2007 and October 2008, 238 people received certificates in braille transcribing: 205 in literary braille transcribing, 2 in literary braille proofreading, 23 in mathematics braille transcribing, 1 in mathematics braille proofreading, and 7 in music braille transcribing.

Oklahoma narrator receives Helping Hands award
For the past eighteen years, Ed O'Connor has helped many Oklahomans enjoy a better quality of life through the hundreds of books he has narrated for persons unable to read books in regular print. He has recorded books for recreational reading and dozens of textbooks for college students. He has also spent many hours recording materials such as brochures, training manuals, and yearly insurance benefit guides for clients of the Oklahoma Department of Rehabilitation Services.
On April 18, 2008, O'Connor received the 2007 Helping Hands award in the individual category from the Heartline Volunteer Center of Central Oklahoma. He was nominated for the award by Oklahoma Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (OLBPH) librarian Paul Adams. Library staff and visitors gathered at the recording studio where O'Connor was narrating a book. Tanya Wiley, an associate from the volunteer center, came armed with balloons and the award plaque for O'Connor.
"When he came out of the recording booth, his shocked expression elicited howls of laughter from the impromptu assembly. Amidst the transfer of balloons, presentation of a certificate, and flashing cameras, Ed remained almost speechless—a rare occurrence for him," said Vicky Golightly, OLBPH public information officer and volunteer coordinator.

Immigration policy reform and paths to citizenship are hotly contested topics on the national stage. Yet the impact of immigration is most often experienced by our cities and towns. This discussion will highlight trends and salient efforts by state and local governments to support the integration of immigrant communities into civic and political life. What has worked, what did not work, and what can we learn from each effort? Just how far should we extend citizenship, representation, and other democratic rights?

Tuesday 4th January 2010
Happy New Year to all Gooners around the globe. May 2011 be healthy, successful and gloriously trophy-filled!
Three games taking place since I last penned my thoughts is very much a rarity but with a number of my friends and family staying throughout the festive period time has been at a premium. Entertaining and attending the matches has very much used up any spare hours on this occasion.
None of us could have received a better present than the performance and resulting three points we took home from the Chelsea game. It was a massive win for so many reasons, none more so than the fact we thoroughly deserved to beat a full strength team we have struggled to overcome for a couple of seasons or so. The night game atmosphere, jostle-ensuing goals and warm three-point glow as we headed back home altogether made it a special night.
Much has been said about the fact eight changes were made for the Wigan game, all of course with the benefit of hindsight. For me, whatever way you look at it it was a night that once again demonstrated the extremely fine line between success and failure.
Without playing particularly great we once again dominated the first half possession and were caught with a sucker punch that TV replays have proved should have been so different. The Wigan player wasn't touched in the box and he went down. Not clear to the thousand of travelling Gooners on the night but so so clear on the TV.
Two quality goals sent us into the break with a lead that had looked unlikely late on but if winning was a trifle fortunate it was less than it would have been unfortunate if we had been behind.
The second period wasn't really any better but three crucial incidents spring to mind. The Meerkat could and probably should have added a third to see us home midway through the half and switching off momentarily at a set piece saw us pay the ultimate price when our hosts equalised.
With time running out however, we saw a mirror image of Spurs' equaliser at home when a Wigan defender in his team's defensive wall blocked a free-kick with his arm. For the second time in the match a penalty decision went against us and the long journey south felt graced with a feeling of two points dropped.
The Christmas period however, leaves no time to dwell on points lost but Birmingham away definitely wouldn't have been our hand picked choice to bounce back. Only one defeat at home all season and a miserly defence to boot it was always going to be a tough encounter.
Man Utd's early kick-off proved once again how sometimes you need luck on your side. Their hosts were the better side throughout, should have had a penalty with a resulting red card early on and missed the pen that was awarded late on to put them into a 2-1 lead. Of course, the inevitable then happened. Very frustrating.
Of course, it is not about Man Utd, it is about us and overall we produced a patient and powerful performance to run out worthy winners at St Andrew's and give us all the perfect start to 2011. Totally mesmerising going forward at times, it was the perfect tonic to ease the New Year hangovers.
I always feel it is a good time to analyse where we are and if we would have taken the current situation if offered before a ball was kicked. Two points off the top of the league, in the Carling Cup Semi-Final and
through to the last 16 of the Champions League. Whatever way we look at how the season has panned out so far, those are the facts. For me personally then it is a resounding yes!
The fixture Arsenal v Man City has arguably never been bigger than Wednesday night. Looking at our last home game it is definitely a case of 'more of the same please'!
Like against Chelsea, we as fans can definitely play our part.
Come on you reds!

When you say "unnatural small cell" I assume that you mean devices like honey super cell? When you say "I personally promote clean natural comb" It sounds like you are advocating foundationless, isn't that pretty much the same as small cell?
daviduntil you can improve your stock with feral bees or survivor type queens, try requeening from the best stock you currently have. you can work the other stuff in as you get access to it, and just because it's a swarm or cutout does not mean you'll want to keep that genetic line going. you may need to have them a year or two before deciding you want that genetic material in your other hives.keep notes on your hives and don't be afraid to experiment with requeening from your own yard. the worst that will happen will be buying another queen.
David, you can drive the 4 hours down from Cookville and pick some up!!
we have a serious problem with production of good stock. Not just of survivor stock, but from regional or acclimatized bees also. We need better breeding programs and more smaller operations to build up. I can not speak for your area. Start with those breeding carni and russians, and then select from those available that meet other requirements, such as survivor stock...
THE BUCKFAST BEE At Buckfast Abbey in Devon, England, Brother Adam's primary aim was to breed a bee with high resistance to tracheal mites. When he had accomplished that, he began incorporating good traits he found in various races of bees during his extensive travels.
i may be missing the point hear and correct me if i'm wrong. you can try to breed for whatever traits you want but you can't totally control their breeding
i may be missing the point hear and correct me if i'm wrong. you can try to breed for whatever traits you want but you can't totally control their breeding. you can't fence them in. so until most of the bees in your area have the traits you desire it's a crap shoot. i realize you can manipulate them to a certain extent and keep pushing the percentage of desirable traits in your (their) favor but it seems like it would be hard to get consistant results from an open yard. also i would like to add that i don't use hard chemicals on my bees but i will use thymol or an organic acid if needed .
Quote from: Joelel on September 25, 2009, 02:45:07 AMTHE BUCKFAST BEE At Buckfast Abbey in Devon, England, Brother Adam's primary aim was to breed a bee with high resistance to tracheal mites. When he had accomplished that, he began incorporating good traits he found in various races of bees during his extensive travels. John,I had originally posted this on another thread, but I guess it applies here also.Here is my take on those extensive travels.....Buckfast was a breed of bee that was created through mixing a bunch of bees together and selecting for traits that one particular beekeeper wanted. This beekeeper being the famed Brother Adam. He is the same beekeeper that many "Natural" type folks follow, look up to, often quote, and admire.But wasn't Brother Adam just a "Frankenstein" character, who manipulated genetics, crossed bee lines, and created very unnatural bees in doing so? He did not seek out the best bees, or some magical small bee like the small English bee that now is being mentioned as some great bee to hold up on a pedestal, and that many now want to suggest is the almighty answer to all problems. He was not happy with what nature had provided. What he did was crossed many races, resulting in the buckfast bee. The buckfast was heralded for years as a great bee. I find it ironic that the same beekeepers who want to get all "natural" now, and quote brother Adam on such matters, is actually just promoting a beekeeper who did much in spreading potential disease and problems around the world in attempts to not strengthen what nature provided him through millions of years of adaptation for his particular area, but take genetics from around the world and water down the individual genetic pools by mixing them together and then spreading them around. One of the major problems we have today, is the loss of pure lines of bees and the lessening of alleles. Brother Adam was the original promoter of things today we see as a serious problem.I know that some are gasping right now with their jaws dropped very far. How dare I speak of Brother Adam that way. If he lived today, and did exactly what he did then, today, I'd bee saying the same thing. If the English brown bee was such a great bee, then why the bringing in of hundreds of other bees to mess with. I would say the same thing today of anyone bringing in from around the world different bees, spreading disease, and doing what brother Adam did.Some will suggest that he had "problems" and will suggest that cell size was this problem. But brother Adam did not have the technology to see many of the bacterial and viral issues we do today. We are still learning so much about these issues today. It would be a real possibility that Brother Adam had way more than he could chew, by bringing in hundreds of different types of bees around the world. Today, we know what happens when you do this. Brother Adam was probably ignorant of such "global" spread of disease, did not really believe in strengthening the local acclimatized bees, or other issues we may now see in a different perspective.

|JakodaCD OA
my sister has two papillons biggest weighing around 13lbs, Masi has always been really good with them, grew up with them. Right now I have a mini aussie puppy who's 4mths old and weighs probably 15lbs, Kizzy was brought in with Masi as an adult weighing in close to 80lbs, and again, tho they play rough, Masi is really good with her.
I suppose it depends on the dogs, so cant really give you a perfect answer.
|I have a 20 pound JRT mix that is alpha dog, thinks she's bigger & tougher than any shepherd out there. I brought her into our home (shelter rescue) and had an older GSD at the time. She became boss. (eyes rolling) Pretty gutsy attitude that one has. March 2013 we brought home a GSD puppy and she accepted him better than we thought she would. But! She's still the boss. Now the GSD is 18 months old, 87 pounds and very respectful of HER being the BOSS. It's exhausting because if he ever wanted to retaliate (which I'm SURE he does often) he could do serious damage. We are on our guard at ALL times when they are together. She doesn't always play nice & we anticipate it long before she escalates. He gets punky with her, instigates her, provokes her ... all sorts of nonsense. While HE is playing, SHE isn't. (sigh) He barks in her face, chews on her ears, pulls her little legs out to the side. Anything to start trouble. My point is, it CAN work. We have always allowed her to be top dog (to a reasonable level) and protect them both. It's exhausting but entertaining.
|Yea I wasnt planning to get a GSD until my little one was well over a year old. I just need to mentally prepare myself. Im not apposed to getting a older dog thats has a proven track record of being with other dogs. I just get nervous because I dont know how that dog was trained from the start, I dont know what kinds of things that dog had to go through, and I dont know where to find a good place to get a rescue dog that would have that kind of thorough "background check"

It'll be fine - get the right dog and like another poster already said - set fair expectations for BOTH dogs and you'll be fine. My little one was the boss when the GSD puppy was small, then GSD puppy grew a big head and I had to pop that big air head and tell the little dog to not try to pop it himself. Now they respect each other. Any sign of disrespect, no matter how small, on either party is addressed immediately and firmly by me. They haven't been mean to each other for a long time now.
One of the foster dogs my adult GSD went crazy playing with was a terrier who's maybe 10 lbs. That terrier was a terror when it played and my GSD loved every part of that! The terrier will growl, jump/sit/stand/pounce on my GSD's belly, chomp the GSD all over and my GSD will wiggle ecstatically on the floor (totally undignified). They also tagged each other from bed to bed causing a lot of furniture movements. They did this for about 10 hours a day. I was horrified a few times that I asked my GSD to see if she wants a break from the terrier.
You're more at risk of not ever wanting a small dog again... (or I should speak for myself). :-)
Sounds like you already have one hyper puppy. Would you ever consider rescuing or adopting an older GSD that is already proven around other dogs? You should be able to take some time letting them get to know each other and see if the chemistry is right. May be better for you than trying another puppy and may just make an adult GSD's day.........
We once had a 5 lb silky terrier with our big dogs that was high energy and loved to play all day... I had a low energy mal and high energy/high prey drive GSD at the time... long story short, it was a huge responsibility that we weren't prepared for!
Having a GSD puppy alone is a huge task. Little habits that are tolerable on a 5 lb dog isn't so cute with an 80 lb dog. It sounds like you are willing to train and work with them.
Your little one has a high prey drive... we couldn't even have a ball laying out in the yard without a fight breaking out. Ultimately, keeping them separate and crated when they weren't supervised is what it came down to. My GSD was intolerable to the little one's constant playing.
It could be a huge inconvenience on your lifestyle, depending on what you like to do with your dogs (vacations with the dogs was a tough one for us).
I hope I don't sound negative... just sharing my experience and opinion. I consider myself a responsible GSD owner with trained dogs... but having the small one with the big dogs was a challenge! Can it work? Sure! But because the GSD is so much bigger, there's always the risk of the little one getting hurt. I just know that my GSD and silky were not a good match.
I would highly recommend working with a breeder that can help you select a puppy that will be a good fit. Or maybe you can find a young adult that is already good with little dogs? Obviously, you don't want a GSD with a high prey drive.
Another thing, your little one is only 10 mos? I wouldn't recommend getting your first GSD puppy with another puppy! Probably best to wait until the little one is more mature and out of its puppy nonsense stage.
Hope this helps... Good luck!
Im still very nervous about getting a GSD with my small dog.
I want a GSD so badly but, Im not one to just jump into it and cross my fingers.
I guess im really looking for someone to really convince me that with the right dog (and what things to look for) its possible.
My little nori is the 4lb morki and she is out of her mind... Shes 10 months old and is beyond hyper. She will go outside and run around the backyard, fetch, and roll in the grass for an hour-ish, then we go inside, sit on the couch and chew her bones, then play a little frisby for another 45 min... AND KEEP GOING for hours on end. She will be on the brink of exhaustion after the outside playing then on her 2nd wind be able to go twice as hard for twice as long.
Im almost worried that Nori is too hyper for another dog but ive never had 2 dogs at the same time. My brother-in-law has had 2 dogs at the same time (lab and a bulldog, then lab and lab) and I have watched/learned from him over the years. Nori is highly prey-driven. You hold the toy, you hold the power. She will 9/10 go for the toy over the treats.
Nori gets a long with all dogs big and small. Shes always looking to play play play. Always wants attention but never retaliates if she isnt getting any attention either. She is a really good dog just the biggest hyper puffball if ever seen. I just worry that if I bring another dog into the picture that it will be too much hyper activity and the GSD will think thats normal after Nori calms down and someone might get hurt. Im very strict with Nori but fair. If shes a good girl, she gets all the love and attention. If shes naughty she gets all her toys taken away and no more fun...
Training she is amazing, shes so smart (sometimes too smart) and i think paired with a GSD would be the best combo of dogs just based on intelligence.
Ive been around with GSD my entire life and know how they are, but never had the experience with a GSD and small dogs. I just dont want there to ever be a problem and sometimes I wonder if I'm thinking too into it. Im not going to go search out a dog at my breeder until I feel 100% about it and when talking about it to others (not GSD owners) they always make me second guess myself.
I guess as a newbie on this forum Im stepping out as a person with a huge cry for help and not a ton of involvement on this forum but, I just want to make sure when this happens that its done right.
So I ask anyone and everyone that has any experience or has any knowledge on this to give me the truth and give me the confidence if you can see my view as a dog owner. I want to make this work, I want it done right, and I want to do it smart. I love to train my dogs and have people comment on how good they are when I think to myself... well this is normal they know i expect this of them.
Just a very discouraged GSD dreamer than needs an up lifting and a little vent/call to help.
Thanks everyone for reading!
|jakemak, i have had both. a gsd with low prey drive, and my last kyra, who just couldn't help chasing our jrt and cat. the breeder you deal with should be guiding you on this. do your research.
Delgado lives with a 3.5 lb yorkie mix and 12 lb poodle happily
Be firm and fair but set the expectations for BOTH dogs right off the bat, I have equal expectations of both my dogs.
Playing is fine as long as both dogs are happy and having fun, if it becomes one sided then step in immediately and stop it. If one of the dogs is bugging the other, step in and stop it. The dogs quickly learn what's acceptable and what's not
Treats, toys, and attention are all shared equally at all times and if there's something special it belongs to that dog alone and seperation is easiest to prevent fighting. If I give out bones and one dog finishes before the other I don't allow the one that's finished to bug the one still enjoying the treat
Something I do personally is set aside special time for each dog, for instance Delgado loves to play rough and fast and Jazzy doesn't so I take him out to the backyard and we'll play fetch or with a flirt pole and Jazzy can lie on the couch and enjoy the peace and quiet. Jazzy loves cuddling so before bed she gets snuggles and a massage and she enjoys the one on one attention. They both enjoy hiking, car rides, and lying on the couch so that time is shared

Richard Stevens, attorney for Tevino, claims his client is wrongfully accused, He claims Trevino and other soldiers were upset at losing several friends who were among 10 troops killed in roadside bombings and a helicopter crash on Memorial Day. That night in June, Trevino led a squad of men to an area where there were insurgents, they killed one and followed a trail of blood to another who lay unarmed and wounded. Trevino kicked the man in the head and shot him in the abdomen. He then turned to his fellow soldiers and said: "I don't want this coming back to you guys…The story is, the guy had a pistol. That's that." At that point, Cpl. Justin whitman placed a pistol next to the dead Iraqi's body. According to the testimony of Pvt. Tristan Miller, "everybody was pretty excited, taking pictures, the the money shot" since it was the first insurgent the group had killed.
War brings out the best and the worst in human beings. Fear, anger, uncertainty, confusion are all present in combat situations and a decent person may well become someone other than himself under these conditions. The actions of Sgt. Trevino were grossly in violation of proper military conduct if the testimony given is believed by the court martial body. He acted against the American code of military conduct, and, if found guilty, should be punished. But, it is unfortunate, that men in the field wind up doing such horrible things while those sitting in nice offices in Washington D.C. who placed them in these horrible situations are busy eating lunch and collecting more money from lobbyists.

Hi ..
did you install madwifi driver ??
did you watch Xploit Video ??
is this ( Broadcom 4318 ) you bult in WLan - So disable it .
try ifconfig -a ---
tru ifconfig ath0 up
try ifconfig wifi0 up
good luck
hey this is my first post and i wish it was on better terms but here goes. i just bought a netgear wg511t wireless card. and ive tried following several tutorials but i just cant get it to recognize it, it found my broadcom internal card but no such luck on this Net gear pci. maybe im just not turning it on right or something but when i type in iw config shows
eth1 IEEE 802.11b/g ESSID:"linksys" Nickname:"Broadcom 4318"
Mode:Managed Frequency=2.437 GHz Access Point:
Link Quality=55/100 Signal level=-61 dBm Noise level=-71 dBm
ath0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"off/any" Nickname:""
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
Bit Rate:0 kb/s Tx-Power:31 dBm Sensitivity=0/3
even when i run wlassistance it can find the broadcom card and connect but nothing under ath0 ,the netgear card, if anyone could offer any help it would be greatly appreciated. i was thinking maybe i had to somehow unload the broadcom (eth1) but not sure. and before anyone flames yes i did search and followed about 4 diff tuts, so its either not covered in them or i completly missed it. thanks

i didnt install madwifi drivers because it was my understanding that they came with BT V2. but ill try that. yes the broadcom was the internal card. like i said im new to BT and Linux to disable the internal card do i unmount it or something like ifconfig eth1 down. i think up enables it so didnt know if down disabled it. i dont know if ive seen the exploit video or not ive watched so many there alll running together. and when i booted up this morning now it says that theres no device again. can someone point me towards exploits video on this, thanks in advance
The key is the chipset. it would do you some good to find out excactly which chipset you have. Yes the madwifi drivers come with backtrack but it is my understanding that the newer wg511t cards are a different version of the atheros chipset that is not supported by mad wifi. Once you have determined your chipset (i dont just mean atheros, I mean model number) Then you can go to the madwifi site and see if its listed. If its not well we cant help you but if it is then you have concluded that your problem is operator error and with that we can most certainly help.
well on the cover of the box it just say atheros xr and atheros super g so if thats the chipset model then it doesnt look like its supported. and if thats the case does anyone know of a store that would have the netgear wg511 that is supported, i figure i could probably find it on newegg, but i like to be able to get it that day.
That is not the chipset. Here is a example of the kind of info your looking for
Chipset: AR5001 (V1&V2=5212) (V3=5213A) (b/g)
URL: http://www.netgear.com/[...]

Notes: It seems max. bit rate is 54Mbit/sec. Same link-quality problem as WG511U.
i know i sound completly ignorant but where do i find that ive looked on the box and the card and dont see anything like that. recent update the cards 2 leds are now blinking and when i go to iwconfig i get this:
eth1 IEEE 802.11b/g ESSIDff/any Nickname:"Broadcom 4318"

but i still cant connect to the internet although it says ath0 connection established and has and ip and subnet mask and sending and reciving packages. what could be the problem. and PUREHATE and ETHICAL i really appreciate the help

About Marlborough(mahrl-bore-oh)
Sitting pretty on the northern tip of New Zealand's south island, Marlborough has become synonymous with New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. As well it should be – Marlborough is the primary region for those delicious, citrusy, summer-lovin' wines with vibrant acidity and pungent, grassy, grapefruit flavors. Sauvignon Blanc is the main grape here; Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Riesling are also made.
Notable FactsThe region has well-drained alluvial loam soils, which are perfect for grape growing. The grapes receive a good deal of sunshine during the day, but recovers in the cool evenings. Marlborough's growing season is long, which helps foster the gradual, even ripening of the grapes. Not made for much aging, the Sauvignon Blancs of Marlborough are of the buy 'em and drink 'em class of wine. Expect little vintage variation here - quantity differs more than quality.

Long before Sisqó dyed his hair and tattooed his body, he was born Mark Andrews in Baltimore, Maryland. He co-founded the group Dru Hill in 1995 with high school friends Jazz, Nokio, and Woody, and saw their debut album released in 1996, instantly notable for Keith Sweat's production work. But Dru Hill quickly became noteworthy themselves with "Tell Me," a huge R&B hit. Two years later, in 1998, Sisqó again graced the airwaves with the second Dru Hill album, Enter the Dru. After the success of this album, it didn't take long for the young artist to bounce back the following summer with his solo album, Unleash the Dragon. The album's hit singles propelled it to multi-platinum success, setting the stage for Sisqó's forays into acting. He first appeared in the teen comedy Get Over It, before signing a development deal with NBC television and a five-picture deal with Miramax.
Following commercially successful guest appearances on DMX's "What These B*****s Want" and Lil' Kim's "How Many Licks," which kept him in the spotlight while he spent time in the studio, Sisqó re-emerged in the summer of 2001 with Return of Dragon, his attempt to prove that "Thong Song" wasn't just a novelty success. Featuring production by Teddy Riley on the lead single, "Can I Live," the album certainly seemed positioned for mammoth success. And if the music wasn't potent enough, Def Soul's marketing barrage, again featuring tons of MTV exposure and an aggressive targeting of the teen audience, ensured the album's success. Though there were additional stints with Dru Hill (including albums released in 2002 and 2010), as well as a handful of appearances in reality TV shows, it would be some 14 years before Sisqó released another solo album. At the end of 2014, he announced that he had finished the final release in his "dragon trilogy." Last Dragon was issued the following February through Massenburg Media. ~ Jason Birchmeier

Firstly my thanks to Michael LeClerc on Mocavo for his blog post on TED talks which inspired me to also write about TED as a follow on from my previous post about online genealogy courses. I have been a fan of the TED Talks website for some time now, but as Michael so rightly pointed out there is plenty there of genealogical interest. Most family historians are people with enquiring minds so TED talks are likely to appeal.
Some of my favourites are as follows ….
Brewster Kahle, the founder of Archive.com, which is a free digital library of out of copyright books.
David Christian gives a 18 minute talk giving a complete history of the world !
Beil MacGregor traces 2500+ years of Middle Eastern history through a single object.
These are just a few of the thousands of talks on offer, free on TED. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment & Design and covers a vast number of topics, put genealogy or history into the search engine and see what you find or you can simple take pot-luck and surprise yourself. The talks are generally about 20 minutes long so ideal to watch/listen to as you complete boring non-genealogy tasks !

The Canisius College rowing team finished third overall at the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) Rowing Championships on Saturday afternoon on Mercer Lake in West Windsor, N.J. The Golden Griffins' top-three finish was their best performance at the conference championships in program history after tying for fifth in their first appearance last season.
"Placing third as a team is shy of our goal, and won't sit well right now. But we're all pleased with our progress over the last year and have our sights set firmly on the top of the conference," said head coach Joel Furtek.
All three of the Griffs' crews managed to qualify the Grand Final of their respective race with two of the boats finishing in the top three. Finishing third overall, the Griffs (35 points) finished behind Fairfield (43) and Marist (45), who secured their 10th conference women's title.
Among the team's crews competing at the conference championships, the third-seed Second Varsity Eight recorded the program's top finish of second overall. In the Grand Final of the Second Varsity Eight, the Griffs placed second (7:23.89) behind eventual conference champion Marist (7:14.48).
"I'm extremely proud of the great race put in by our Second Varsity Eight," said Furtek. "They started well, pushed through the body of the race, and responded to aggressive moves in the final 500. We couldn't match Marist today but we raced the best race within us."
The Second Varsity Eight included senior Bridget Wodowski, senior Alyssa Eddy, senior Julia Roache, freshman Julie Sciandra, senior Allison Braun, senior Amanda Kielich, freshman Corrine Kickel, junior Meghan Martin and freshman coxswain Jordan Bamrick.
In heat two of the preliminaries, the Second Varsity Eight recorded the top-time among the five crews in their respective heat (7:34.77).
Entering as the top seed in the Varsity Eight competition, the Griffs rowed to the top time among the two preliminary heats (7:08.14) followed closely by Marist (7:09.05). In the Grand Final, the Griffs would finish third (7:04.24) behind Fairfield (6:57.54) and Marist (6:59.70).
"Our varsity eight had a great heat but came up short in the final. It's difficult to put a finger on it but our responses to Marist and Fairfield weren't enough," stated Furtek. "We knew that those well-coached crews would be faster this weekend than ever before. As a boat and a coach we all take ownership of the performance and will be better on our next time down the course."
The Varsity Eight was comprised of sophomore Liz Reinwald, senior Monica Klenk, freshman Nora Kennon, senior Bridget Laszewski, junior Liz McKinney, junior Nancy Kennish, senior Stephanie SanFilipo, junior Lynna Paradiso and freshman coxswain Hannah Blum.
The final boat to take to the water at the conference championships for the Griffs was the eighth-seed Varsity Four. Reaching the Grand Final, the Griffs finished sixth overall in a time of 8:14.45 after placing third (8:33.45) in heat one of the preliminaries.
The Varsity Four included senior Katie Riley, freshman Emma Miller, freshman Megan Walsh, freshman Erica Mason and sophomore coxswain Meagan Hayden.
"In the varsity four we rose above our seed to finish sixth," said Furtek. "After a great heat and aggressive first 1500m, we were within reach of the medals but we came up short on gas in the sprint. With three freshmen in the boat, we've got a lot of time to grow!"
This season displayed the growth of the Canisius rowing program and its place in the MAAC. After finishing tied for fifth at last year's conference championships, the Golden Griffins moved into the top three programs in the MAAC. The Varsity Eight collected four conference weekly honors, earning 2013 MAAC Crew of the Year, as voted by the league's head coaches. In addition, Furtek completes his second season at Canisius as the conference's Women's Coach of the Year in recognition of the program's growth and rise to the competition.
"Only one of the women in our program has exhausted her eligibility, so I'm excited for our team speed next year," said Furtek. "It remains a great time to be a Griff!"

Ever been on the Predator? You know, the ride at Six Flags (formerly Darien Lake) just down the road. It takes you up, down and around, shakes you for a little bit. As soon as you get to the top, the ride jerks you back down to the bottom, and goes around and around again. Though it's fun for a roller coaster, it's not as enjoyable when the Sabres are doing the same thing…

The Tomcat has a lot of problems. The regulars at the Beretta Forum website typically agree that Beretta should really discontinue this gun. Admittedly, some people DO like theirs... But the slide and frame cracking issue is really ridiculous... And, the changes that have been made to the design to combat these issues do not seem to have slowed these issues down much.
I once got a 92 with a terrible trigger pull. I had an extra hammer, and just swapped the hammer out - trigger pull GREATLY improved.
Anyway - if you know how, can you disassemble some of the internals and polish the working surfaces of the hammer? It might help a bit. I can take apart a 92 easily, but never tried to take a Tomcat apart before, so I can't offer help in that regard

Jennings or Raven , I need all my fingers.
We've had some threads about what your fav gun is/fav manufacturer/etc.
What gun would you NOT own if someone gave it to you?
Jennings or Raven , I need all my fingers.
I have no idea the maker of this gun, but it was a 1911 style handgun and this thing was horrible. I could shoot a single shot T/C Contender pistol faster than that handgun. Not only did it jam on every other shot and was never hitting what I was aiming at it did a horrible thing you would never want to have happen in an HD situation. The whole freaking slide and barrel assembly came off on counter-recoil.
No tactical tupperware for me period
I never see myself buying any Taurus products - I know some like them. But, I've also seen enough neg that I'm just not interested.
I would also never buy a Norinco or any Phillipine made 1911
I'm sure someone will countermand me here, but that's just my opinion :P
Never a BRYCO-JENNINGS here. As you can see - I am a NEWBIE
Oh, that's such an easy one - pick something more mainstream :-D :-DOriginally Posted by KINGMAX
Well now, being given something is one thing. I've accepted some pretty raunchy guns and pieces of guns in my time.
But I won't make any effort to own a 9mm pistol of any type, nor any guns with plastic frames or parts. Prefer not to own foreign made firearms, though have owned one Italian made single action. And I do have a Mauser pistol as a War souvenier.
I prefer my guns to be steel, brass and wood. And I appreciate a gun that doesn't throw my empty brass all over the countryside. And, while I do have some .357 Magnums, I prefer calibers with some authority. I do lean toward the .44 and .45 caliber guns.
I prefer blue steel over stainless. I did have one stainless Smith & Wesson.
Bob Wright
I can't think of any gun I would not own if someone gave it to me, I could always sell it or give it away. Now when it comes to buying guns, I would never buy a 40 caliber anything.
WHOA! While the .40 Short & Wimpy has given the .40 genre a bad name, there are still some fortys worthy of attention, though one is really not considered a .40, the .38-40 revolver, especially those converted from three-screw Ruber Blackhawk .357s. And the .401 Eimer guns that were making the rounds a few years back. And the 10mm seems promising.
But a good late model Colt SA in .38-40 rivals the .41 Magnum when properly handloaded.
Bob Wright
I will never buy a HK pistol, or a XD, or any other of the ugly earopean style (long ugly gripped) pistol.......
Disclaimer: I am sure they work fine I just personally cannot stand the way they look.
I wouldn't own a Hi Point pistol :-D :-D :-D :-D
Guess the only gun I would refuse to own, would be an illegal one. Some that are unsafe to shoot could be a collecter item. My preference for modern guns are the Stainless steel dull finished ones.
I like guns too much to say there's one I wouldn't ever own.
Of course some would have to be given to me free for me to have them.
Err, like a Grock.
I would never own a Bersa........ I would not trust it for Concealed Carry.
i would probablyt never own a 22 revolver....id rather throw a brick
A brick is fine at close range, though meat destruction is a little severe. And the possibility of that brick getting hung up in the tree limbs could pose a threat to others.
And a heck of a looping trajectory.
A .22 revolver isn't much, but its a dandy squirrel gun!

Conservatives bashed ACLU over Pentagon settlement of Boy Scouts suit
Research ››› ››› SIMON MALOY
Conservatives in the media launched verbal attacks on the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) following the Defense Department's announcement that it will warn military bases not to sponsor Boy Scout troops -- a warning required in partial settlement of a lawsuit the ACLU filed in 1999. Conservative columnist Joseph Farah, U.S. Representative and substitute MSNBC host John D. "J.D." Hayworth (R-AZ), and FOX News Channel host Bill O'Reilly claimed, respectively, that the civil liberties organization is "in league with the Devil," has "declare[d] war on the Boy Scouts," and is engaged in a "vendetta" against the youth organization.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois filed the suit, claiming that military sponsorship of Boy Scout troops violates the First Amendment prohibition on state establishment of religion, as members are required to recite an oath to God. The suit did not list Boy Scouts of America as a defendant. The partial settlement of the ongoing suit was announced on November 15, when the Defense Department agreed to warn military bases against sponsoring scout troops. A November 16 Miami Herald article (login required) reported:
The Pentagon has agreed to warn military bases worldwide that they should not directly sponsor Boy Scout troops, partially resolving claims that the government has improperly supported a group that requires members to believe in God.
The Pentagon said it long has had a rule against sponsorship of nonfederal organizations and denied the rule had been violated. But it agreed to alert posts worldwide, warning them not to sponsor Boy Scout troops or other such groups. The rule does not prevent service members from leading Scout troops unofficially on their own time.
In response to this settlement, Farah -- founder, editor, and CEO of the right-wing website WorldNetDaily.com -- wrote of the ACLU in his November 17 "Between the Lines" column:
The ACLU is never going to change. It is an anti-American organization. It is a group that seeks to destroy all that makes America a unique experiment in freedom. It is an organization in league with all of America's enemies. It is an organization that hates God, hates what is right, decent and morally upright. It is an organization in league with the Devil, as far as I am concerned.
And the ACLU is an organization that needs to be isolated, exposed for what it is, recognized for what it is and destroyed if necessary.
Hayworth, who has served as a substitute host for former U.S. Representative Joe Scarborough (R-FL) on MSNBC's Scarborough Country, claimed that the ACLU is at war with the Boy Scouts. During a November 16 appearance on FOX News Channel's Hannity & Colmes, Hayworth said: "So in the world of the ACLU, it's OK to defend the North American Man-Boy Love Association and declare war on the Boy Scouts of America?"
O'Reilly alleged that the ACLU is engaged in a "vendetta" against the Boy Scouts because they failed to change the youth organization's policy of discrimination against homosexuals.
From the November 16 edition of FOX News Channel's The O'Reilly Factor:
The harm to these children is immeasurable because they can't get the money. San Diego threw them off the land. And it's a vendetta by the ACLU because of the gay thing. And you know it is.
In saying "San Diego threw them off the land," O'Reilly was apparently referring to the January settlement of a separate lawsuit, in which the city of San Diego cancelled the lease on 18 acres of city-owned land used by the Boy Scouts as a regional office and camp.
A November 16 Chicago Tribune article refuted O'Reilly's assertion that children are suffering "immeasurable" harm because "they can't get the money" for sponsorship. The Tribune reported:
Gregg Shields, a national spokesman for the Boy Scouts of America, said he didn't expect the settlement to hurt the group. In the U.S., military units sponsored about 420 of the approximately 120,000 Scout troops nationwide, Shields said. Shields said he expected Veterans of Foreign Wars chapters or other local community groups to pick up the charters for those Scout troops.
As MMFA has previously noted, O'Reilly has referred to the ACLU as a "fascist organization"; compared the ACLU to Al Qaeda; and asserted that the ACLU is "the most dangerous organization in the United States of America right now."

Arsène Wenger admits he has not seen a more sizable Arsenal defence during his time at the Club.
The Arsenal manager has seen his backline concede just seven goals in their last eight matches in all competitions, and believes his side's height advantage is paying dividends.
"One of the advantages - I said before the game - is that I have not seen such a tall Arsenal team at the back," he said.
"You have Koscielny, Mertesacker, Vermaelen and Santos who are tall.
"I look a bit lost because there are no small players in there."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

The Janitor Story From Crucial Accountability


text: I just convinced my work to pay for the class. I can't wait to get started. I'm wondering though if I should wait for the new revision which uses backtrack 4. I just really hope I am able to get enough out of the course to pass the test to be oscp certified. It sounds like a very difficult test and I have never taken an online course before.
