Any tips or anything for this game? I just started yesterday and I screwed up completely. This is probably the second 3rd Person Shooter that I suck at D: (First was Gunz but bleh I didn't like that anyway)
Anyone who plays this game want to give me advice or train me kinda? Any help would appreciated.
If this were any other game then I would've stopped long time ago but I gotta say I'm loving the giant robot theme <3 Reminds me of Super Robot Wars without the tactical aspect.

Patience mixed with mental toughness kept Layton Christian in its Class 1A quarterfinal Thursday night against Escalante.
Alissa Atisme's ability to knock down pressure free throws kept the Eagles' season alive.
The senior guard made two free throws with 11 seconds remaining, then forced a turnover with 3 seconds left as Layton Christian held off Escalante 42-40 at the Sevier Valley Center.
"I expected one, but two was a plus," LCA coach Lewis Loftin said of Atisme's free throws. "She's been around the program for five years and when she stepped up she said, 'Hey, there's no tomorrow. I've got to make these.' And she knocked them down."
The victory sent the Eagles (13-7) into a semifinal matchup with Piute (19-5) Friday at 7:30.
Junior Teneshia Davison and sophomore Shayla Simpson each scored 13 points for the Eagles, who have won each of their tournament games by two points. LCA beat Duchesne 40-38 in Wednesday's first round.
"We've been a lot more patient," Loftin said. "Been a lot better with turnovers. I think my girls prepare to be mentally tough. They know the odds against them."
Lindsay Phillips scored 16 points for Escalante (8-14), which went cold from the field in the third quarter and managed just four points. That stretch turned a two-point halftime lead into a 31-28 deficit from which the Moquis couldn't recover.
Escalante plays Manila at noon Friday in the consolation bracket.
Piute 54, Manila 41 • Sophomore guard Shaylee Gleave scored a game-high 18 points and junior forward Kierra Gleave added 16 as Piute advanced to Friday's semifinal.
The Thunderbirds, who have won six in a row and 14 of 15, trailed at halftime.
Rebecca Collet scored 16 points for Manila (19-4), which lost in the quarterfinals for the second consecutive year.
Rich 50, Monticello 27 • Alisa Petersen and Alyssa Brown each scored 13 points as the Rebels (20-1) advanced to play in tonight's semifinal against St. Joseph OR Milford.
Zoe Chadwick had eight points for Monticello (12-11).
St. Joseph 30, Milford 27 • The defending champion Jayhawks (20-0) found enough offense in the second half to survive the upset-minded Tigers (17-8).
Mady White scored a team-high 10 points for St. Joseph. Shyla Sherwood had a game-high 12 points for Milford, which led 8-5 at halftime and missed a potential game-tying 3-pointer with 8 seconds to play.

Have you heard the one about how many millions of dollars in scholarships go unclaimed every year? It's a rumor that churns its way through high school hallways every fall when seniors and their families begin to wonder how they'll pay for school.
Sadly, it's just that: a rumor. The truth is that plenty of students are on the hunt for scholarships to help out with college bills, especially in this economy.
Most Popular
But the good news is that there are billions of dollars in scholarships available each year, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. Here's how and where to find them.
Do your homework -- at school. Your guidance counselor should have a list of scholarships available in your community from local organizations. Even though these awards are probably smaller than national scholarships, it's well worth applying for them, since the smaller pool of applicants boosts your chances of winning.
Be "safe." You'll be applying to a couple of safety schools, right? We're talking about the schools that will very likely admit you because your GPA and test scores are higher than the norm for their group of admitted students. Find out which of your safety schools offers the best scholarships to stand-out students, and then use that info to narrow your list.
Call colleges. When you ask college reps about merit scholarships, be sure to find out about departmental awards—that is, money awarded from the math department to attract women students or the arts department to attract budding film producers. If a college rep doesn't know about these special awards, call the academic departments that interest you.
Consider the military. All branches of the Armed Forces run scholarship programs. The Army and Air Force Reserve Officer Training (ROTC), for example, will cover college costs in exchange for a service commitment during school and beyond. And if your parent serves in or is retired from the military, you are eligible for a range of great scholarships. Learn more at military.com and militaryscholar.org.
Ask the coach. If you are an outstanding athlete, talk to your coach about which colleges might want to snag you for their team. Then go to the website of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (ncaa.org) to learn about the (relatively) complex recruiting process. Cut your coach some slack, and remember that he or she can help, but it's your job to get college coaches' attention with your mad skills.
Surf. But beware of sharks: You don't need to pay a website to churn out lists of scholarships that meet your skill set and interests. The top free sites include fastweb.com, scholarships.com, collegeboard.com and petersons.com.
Ask the 'rents. Religious organizations, unions, clubs and businesses run scholarship programs. Ask your mom and dad to check in with their human resources departments at work and with leaders of any other organizations they belong to.
Find ways to serve. Service-based scholarship programs give stipends to students who commit to ongoing volunteer work at their colleges and in the surrounding communities. The Bonner Program is an example; learn more at bonner.org.
Invest wisely. It's going to take you a while to apply for these scholarships. (Did you really think someone was just going to hand you a check?) You probably have to prioritize, so invest your time in scholarships that meet at least one of these criteria: renewable, local, related to your area of interest or skill set, offered through one of your top-choice schools, or offered through an organization or business to which you or your parents are connected.
Apply. Seriously. Spend a few hours every week applying for scholarships, and you won't feel overwhelmed. Don't skip the apps with essays; fewer students apply for those awards because most students believe essays are a pain in the you-know-what. Remember: Someone has to win those awards; why shouldn't it be you?
Consider this:
If it takes you four hours to apply for a $1,000 scholarship, and you win, that means you earned $250 an hour. Not too shabby for a kid who doesn't even have a college degree yet.

John ,I imagine you keep that car inside and totally clean only driving it on weekends and such...I think the sun has a lot to do with that bubbling and would have shown up much earlier if it was kept outside or was a DD..
.its definately an adheasion problem and most likely caused from the rust mort whether its the product itself or (god forbid) user error is the question...but being that its in the reveil tends to make me think there was some excess left in there that was missed from sanding.
|SPI epoxy. Is by far the best I ever used... Mr.Barry is also by far the best to talk to.... I highly recommend SPI Primer...
|69 widetrack
The fact that you didn't notice a problem until 5 years after the vehicle had been painted, considering the product that was used (rustmort) and the adhesion issue being in part mechanical (metal to shiny) speaks volumes for Epoxy primer.
Before I tried SPI Epoxy I made sure I kept an open mind. So far I am impressed and look forward to trying the base coat and clear.
|John long
Good information guys. As I have mentioned on another thread I am repairing 2 doors with bare metal adhesion issues (bubbles)after 5 years. They were epoxied with PPG DPLF on bare steel after using RustMort. The metal is very shiney and appears to have needed to be sanded better with 80 grit and/or the acid neutralized better. It is odd that they held up well for 3 or 4 years and started to fail badly in the last year.
The tests you guys have done and the follow up information is very much appreciated.
John L
|69 widetrack
It's good to hear that you found your hood and you have a test that is 5 years in the making....my test is only 3 weeks to a month old and I fully expect the panel with the 24 grit scratches to sink...how much remains to be seen.
I've never tried OSPHO but I think I should give it a try as well.
Thanks for the clarification Mike...I was somewhat confused for a while there.
|The best part about using epoxy primer is that you are coating the bare metal with a moisture barrier. You can also put bondo over it and have a good base with no bare metal for rust to start.
I've done a few tests of my own and really pushed the limits of SPI before I was ready to recomend it ...One test was leaving 36 scratches in my filler and using 8 coats of epoxy primer to fill them (it took a whole week to cure) before it could be sanded,the scratches sanded right out never to be seen again its been over five yrs and un painted exposed to the elimates and everything ,no problems at all...
then Barry and I (and a few other pro's) had a disagreement on my use of ospho as a metal prep( he dont like using it) I've been using it for over 30 yrs and wont do a resto without it.so I did two panels ,one bare steel and primed and one treated my way with ospho and then did some adheasion tests with duct tape and using a razor blade cut into the primer to the metal making little 1/4"squares then the duct tape ...then I sanded them both down to the metal to see just how well they feathered...I couldnt find any differences in the two panels both passed every test....However when I cleaned up my yard two yrs later I found that old hood and found the surface of the side I didnt treat was starting to rust where it was previously rusted under the primer and the side I treated was not....Now I'm even more dedicated to the Ospho than ever also SPI epoxy.my two favorite products ever...
|69 widetrack
This is a question that has been bantered about since the creation of the automotive aftermarket refinish systems started. The most important part of any restoration is the preparation of the metal to form a solid foundation that withstand the rigors of all the elements that the top coats are exposed to. It goes without saying that what is underneath your paint is what will allow your finish to stand up over time and what you put down as a foundation will determine the longevity of your finish.
I have used and tried all types of metal preparation materials from vinyl wash to etch to epoxy primers, these products have evolved and are better today than they have ever been. The debate continues, some people claim that an etch primer topped with a 2K primer is the best way to go, others claim that an Epoxy primer topped with a 2K primer will out last any and everything on the market. Many technicians on this site claim that SPI Epoxy over bare metal is hands down the best way to build your substrate to allow for that great finish.
Up until recently I had been an advocate of PPG's DP line of Epoxy primer, top coated with a high quality 2K primer gave me the substrate I required in order to be confident that I was using the absolute best method for my customers. Over the past month I have had an opportunity to use some SPI Epoxy primer over bare metal, before I tried this product, I discussed what I had read on this forum with others in the industry and in one of these discussions an old customer of mine offered to supply me with some SPI Epoxy and let me try it for myself, (He had been been successfully using it for almost 2 years).
The way I started testing the product, as I try and do with any new (to me) product is to abuse it to see how far I can push it. I made several test panels (18" X 18"), roughed them all up with 80 grit with my DA. The first panel I then ground down with a 24 grit disc and applied 2 medium wet to wet coats of Epoxy allowing proper flash times and set aside to cure. The second and third panel I took a ball peen hammer to them, on one panel I applied the Epoxy, did my body work to repair the panel and gave it 2 more coats of Epoxy...on the other panel I did my body work and applied the Epoxy. The filler on both panels was about 3/16 of an inch thick maximum. On the fourth panel I soaked the panel in a salt water solution and allowed it to dry over night, in the morning, wiped the rust off with gun wash and applied the Epoxy...(the reason I did this is because often after a vehicle is stripped it sits around for a few days before it's coated and oxidization can occur without you knowing it), then I baked the panel for 1 1/2 hours at 160 degrees.
I found that the SPI Epoxy had great sanding qualities...it sanded virtually as well as any top quality 2K primer.
The two panels that I prepped, damaged and then repaired, blocked out very well, I then tried to get the filler to let go from the steel by hitting the backside of the panel with a ball peen hammer...they both stood up exceptionally well and the panel that was primed and then body worked held the filler every bit as well as the panel with filler to bare metal.
The panel that was allowed to see rust, minimally cleaned, primed and baked does not appear to have any adhesion issues. I will leave this panel for several more months before I sand it down to see if there is any rust occurring underneath the primer.
The panel that I ground down with 24 grit and primed with 2 medium wet to wet coats of primer blocked out...all grinder marks where filled and I have based and cleared the panel. It has been painted for about 10 days, it has not sank, the clear has not died off and it looks as good as the day I painted it. (I would not do this to a customer's vehicle, I did this to see how far I could push the product and would not recommend this procedure on any vehicle).
The last two panels I will let sit for several months but, I must say, from what I have seen so far I am more than impressed. I feel I can now go from bare metal to primer to block sand to paint. With all of the other Techs that have been glowing about this product and have used it for years, I feel that I too would highly recommend this product.
Oh, and Barry K, if your reading this post, I look forward to trying your base and clear as well...Both of the early Ford's I'm doing will be SPI.
I hope this helps.
2 wet coats of SPI epoxy does the job and prepares the car for follow on painting..

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. - All Americans stand with the mourners of three people killed at Jewish community sites in suburban Kansas City, Attorney General Eric Holder said Thursday, adding that hate crimes are "an affront to the nation."
Before an overflow crowd of about 1,300, Holder joined Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback and several religious and political leaders at an interfaith memorial service at the Jewish Community Center, the site of one of two shootings that stunned the city on the eve of Passover.
Avowed white supremacist Frazier Glenn Cross, 73, is charged with the killings Sunday of Dr. William Lewis Corporon and his 14-year-old grandson, Reat Griffin Underwood, outside the Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City. Cross shouted "heil Hitler" at television cameras as he was arrested after the shootings.
Cross is also accused of killing Terri LaManno at a nearby Jewish retirement complex shortly after the shootings at the Jewish Community Center. Her funeral is Thursday. All three victims were Christian.
"A pall has been cast over our great nation. And so we gather today, not in joy, but in solemn reflection," Holder said.
"Every alleged hate crime, no matter who the intended target, is an affront to who we are ... both as a country and as people. These acts cannot be ignored," Holder said.
"Although our hearts are truly broken, all Americans stand with the people of Overland Park, of Leawood, and of Kansas City. We are united in our condemnation of this heinous attack and our commitment to see that justice is served," he said.
Federal prosecutors say there's enough evidence to warrant putting the case before a grand jury as a hate crime, but U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said Tuesday that federal charges were likely a week or more away. Cross' state case would have to be resolved before he could be moved to a federal trial.
Corporon and Underwood, a high school freshman, were at the JCC for the "KC Superstar" competition, an American Idol-like singing contest for high school students. LaManno, a mother of three, worked as an occupational therapist at the Children's Center for the Visually Impaired.
Mindy Corporon, mother of Reat Underwood and the daughter of William Corporon, did not attend the service because she felt it too soon to return to the community center, said Rev. Adam Hamilton, the Corporon family's minister. Rabbi Arthur P. Nemitoff of Congregation of B'nai Jehudah told the crowd to love their neighbors as the victims would.
"That is what Terri's and Reat's and William's families need today, and is that which our community needs," Nemitoff said. "We need to love each other as we love ourselves. We need to love life, love faith, love people, for that is as I have read and heard who William and Reat and Terri were. All lovers of life."

He'll get "free" pollination for his other crops(orchards, strawberries, various vegetables etc...) in exchange I get outyards which are year round with the exception of a doing blueberry duty(which I get compensated for). Now I have to figure out the best way for a guy to move hives around by himself without any heavy equipment. I'm more than a little bit nervous, but excited at the same time.

New York, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - Carmelo Anthony scored 29 points to lead the New York Knicks in a 117-86 drubbing of the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday.
Tim Hardaway, Jr. scored a career-high 29 points for New York, which won its fourth consecutive game. J.R. Smith netted 19 points, Raymond Felton scored 12 points with nine assists and Tyson Chandler added 11 points with eight rebounds.
"I think he is playing more relaxed," Knicks head coach Mike Woodson said of Smith. "He is more engaged and in-tune and he is doing what we want from him."
Kyrie Irving scored a team-high 24 points and Dion Waiters added 21 points off the bench for the Cavs, losers in three straight.
"Our defense was terrible," Cleveland's Luol Deng admitted. "They executed and we couldn't stop them."
A C.J. Miles 3-pointer gave the Cavs a brief 5-4 lead early in the first quarter. Chandler then made a three-point play to ignite a 13-3 run and give the Knicks a 17-7 advantage with just under eight minutes remaining in the frame.
Anthony followed Chandler with a 3-pointer, then capped the run with a jumper after Smith buried a trey.
Hardaway converted a three-point play late in the quarter before an Anthony dunk helped the Knicks to a 38-21 lead after one frame.
New York shot 12-for-20 from the floor in the opening quarter and scored 11 points off of six Cleveland turnovers.
Midway through the second, Anthony scored the final four points of an 8-0 burst that increased the margin to 58-29. The Knicks led 60-36 at the break.
The Cavs ended the third quarter on a 14-6 run to cut the deficit to 81-65, but Hardaway knocked down three triples during a 13-5 spurt in the fourth to help New York maintain a healthy margin.
Game Notes
Deng scored 13 points in defeat ... New York outrebounded Cleveland 44-36 ... Irving was 10-of-25 from the field ... Hardaway was 6-of-12 from beyond the arc ... The Knicks outscored the Cavs 22-8 on the fastbreak.

The Chinese people endured over a hundred years of being treated as a second-rate nation while European nations seized "spheres of influence" in a country whose history had created strong feelings of pride. Recent protests in Tibet were viewed by many Chinese people as an insult to their nation since many regard the struggle for Tibetan autonomy as
a Western attempt to divide their nation. After President Sarkozy indicated the possibility he might boycott opening ceremonies of the Olympics, thousands of Chinese people demonstrated against the French supermaket Carrefour to express their anger. More than 1,000 people carrying banners gathered in front of the Carrefour outlet in Xi'an chanting, "Oppose Tibet Independence," "Go China," and "Condemn CNN."
A front page editorial in People's Daily urged the nation to cherish patriotism. "As citizens, we have the responsibility to express our patriotic enthusiasm calmly and rationally and express patriotic aspiration in an orderly and legal manner." It appears the Chinese government wants some protests but doesn't wish to put things to the extent of getting into boycotts since such action could backfire against Chinese products in other nations.
There may well be greater anger among Chinese people against what they perceive was a distored reporting of events in Tibet by CNN and BBC. Several pieces of footage were identified which contained erroneous shots of events.
Many Western human rights organizatons may have misunderstood the extent of Chinese pride and nationalism. Unfortunately, most Chinese people are not concerned about the rights or feelings of Tibetans.

Conversion disorder, also called functional neurological symptom disorder, is a condition in which you show psychological stress in physical ways. The condition was so named to describe a health problem that starts as a mental or emotional crisis — a scary or stressful incident of some kind — and converts to a physical problem.
For example, in conversion disorder, your leg may become paralyzed after you fall from a horse, even though you weren't physically injured. Conversion disorder signs and symptoms appear with no underlying physical cause, and you can't control them.
Signs and symptoms of conversion disorder typically affect your movement or your senses, such as the ability to walk, swallow, see or hear. Conversion disorder symptoms can vary in severity and may come and go or be persistent. The outcome may be better in younger children than in teenagers and adults. According to some experts, most people get better with immediate and proper management.

I just bought a Daisy 15xt co2 pistol for practicing at home.
I just wanted something to practice when I'm not able to go to the range.
Does anyone else do this? :rolleyes:

I just bought a Daisy 15xt co2 pistol for practicing at home.

Does anyone else do this? :rolleyes:
There is another recent thread on this. It never really took off, but then this a quiet sort of forum.
It's fun and the air pistols mimic the feel and action of my real guns fairly well. Lets me play when I can't go to the range.
I think my next shooting 'addiction' may be reloading. My wife rolls her eyes whenever she sees me looking in my Cabela's shooting catalog now.
You have a good idea there. I knew a guy who was one of Merrill's marauder's and shot on the olympic pistol team for a while and he had an airgun range in his basement that he practiced on daily. This guy was a badass and if it works for him I'm sure you'll see good results.
Yes. I have an Olympic style 10 meter competition pistol. It is good for working on holding a stead sight picture. It is not good for trigger control because the trigger action is much better than anything you might encounter in an actual handgun. (About 1 pound pull, and maybe 1/8" travel.)
I have a "double action" CO2 airgun; a replica of a Walther. The trigger pull is very, very heavy and very, very gritty. It is also much longer than a standard pistol. So if you can master the trigger pull on this baby then you can handle the trigger pull on any weapon.
But neither will condition you to deal with recoil and noise. For that you need to shoot real guns.
This is the 10 meter gun: http://www.pyramydair.com/p/izh-46M-...r-pistol.shtml
This is the Walther look alike: http://www.pyramydair.com/s/m/Walthe...O2_pistol/2447
I gotta disagree, if only in a very small degree, with Packard.
Trigger practice is trigger practice. You can never get enough of it.
But Packard is correct that, to practice practical trigger control, neither an Olympics-style 10-meter nor a gritty DA-replica air gun is appropriate. He is also correct that a practical shooter needs recoil-control practice too.
But that doesn't mean that you can't find an appropriate air pistol (or rifle, for that matter) with which to practice trigger control, and only trigger control, while you're someplace where "real" shooting is not allowed.
Just to be perfectly clear, I agree with Packard that a defensive shooter needs realistic and complete practice, including trigger control, sight control, and recoil control.
I, myself, would not use an air pistol for this practice.
However, I can't shoot every day. I do dry-fire. Jean dry-fires.
And I know that value can be found in air-gun practice, as long as it's not the only practice mode.
The advantage of working trigger control with a long gritty heavy trigger like the one on my airgun is that you are training yourself to watch the front sight and keep it on the target. By comparison when shooting a decent live fire gun, maintaining the sight picture will be easy. Also the impending "boom" will not be there for the air gun and it allows you to practice without that distraction.
I can only get to the range once or twice a week. I find that I lose my concentration if I shoot much over 50 rounds, so long sessions don't do me much good.
On the other hand I can get to my basement almost any time I wish. Shooting 50 rounds a night is cheap and I get done in less time than it would take me to drive to the range.
It is not a substitute for live fire. And practice ammo is not a substitute for premium ammo (unless they have the same bullet weight and are loaded to the same pressures).
But as a cost-effective, time-effective way to improve your overall shooting, not bad. Also you might find that competitive shooting in the 10 meter Olympic style is fun. The IZH Baikal is capable of putting 10 rounds in a single hole no larger than .250" (I can't do that--not even from a sand bag--but there are some that can and they shoot one handed!). I have never come across a live fire hand gun that had as good a trigger and was as accurate as that airgun. If you have a bigger budget you can do better.
But it costs about 1¢ per round--50¢ a night. And it keeps me out of bars (which would no doubt cost more and would do little to improve my shooting.)
I have a Crosman 1377 with an aftermarket breech and a reddot scope on it. I only practice on flying rats. ;)
Hehehe... I've never done this, so I won't knock it, but it makes me think of my teenage brother-in-law... Hehehe... Airguns... *sigh*
I've thought of using airsoft guns for training. I know they have gas powered reciprocating replica guns that weigh mostly the same, but I haven't gotten my hands on them to see what the trigger, magazine, or actual recoil of these guns feel like. on paper it sounds like a great tactical scenario training tool, simulating real life conditions with non-lethal guns. The military frequently uses sim-rounds, this is the same concept minus the expensive rounds, guns, and PPE. ansi 87 sun glasses, a 99 dollar gun (via cheaper than dirt) and cheap biodegradable plastic bb's? easy day, depending on the simulation firearm and it's ability to simulate an actual firearm
i think this is a wonderful idea, IF your daily carry weapon is also an airgun!
Both pistols,Are what we use at are range to teach are juniors with. P22 Target pistols & Air arms match pistols.
Here is one of the best to buy from
Champion's Choice - Home Page
Anyone who has held his aim for more than five seconds probably will notice an increasing movement of the front sights.
When you first start shooting that movement starts far earlier than five seconds. That is because you are using both voluntary and involuntary muscles to aim the gun.
You mentally tell your muscles "aim at the target and hold steady" and your voluntary muscles attempt to do just that. But they need the assistance of the involuntary muscles and those muscles must learn how to work together to create the steady hold.
From a shooting point of view, that is probably the most important thing you will gain from shooting pellet guns.
You will also learn to concentrate on the front sights.
Keep in mind that a good quality pellet gun is more accurate than most gun powder powered hand guns.
I have a Baikal target airgun. It is a low end 10 meter competition model. The gun is capable of putting 10 rounds at 33 feet through a single hole of less than .250" (using .177 pellets). There are better weapons that can do better. All of them easily outshoot my capabilities.
But the point is that if you are able to hit the bulls eye on a 10 meter target (from ten meters) you have mastered the sight picture and you've mastered the practice of keeping your attention on the front sights, and you've conditioned your involuntary muscles to work in coordination with your voluntary muscles.
And you've done this for approximately $0.01 per shot. And you can practice every day in your basement.
I would guess that most members here:
1. Would benefit from additional shooting time
2. Cannot get to the range every night of the week
3. Have budget constraints that limit the total number of rounds that they can shoot.
Additionally, some people totally get off on the noise and recoil and the excitement associated with shooting live ammo. Those things can be a distraction when it comes to working on your sight picture aiming skills.
I think that an airgun is a fine way to improve your shooting skills. I don't really think it is necessary to have the gun match your current weapon or to have a semblence of recoil. It does have to be accurate so that you can judge your improved skills. That is why bb guns would not meet my criteria. The bbs fly all over the place and you cannot learn anything useful from them.
This is a Baikal 10 meter pistol: http://www.pyramydair.com/p/izh-46M-...r-pistol.shtml
They don't list the weight in the specs so I just weighed mine: Two pounds, ten ounces (42 ounces, about the same weight as an all steel, full-sized 1911)
i have been thinking about buying one of them water gun carnival games where you shoot water into the clowns mouth to expand a balloon on its head.
it has a front blade sight at the tip of the "ray gun" barrel and will give me a lot more practice time for like when i aim my sig..... also it has a trigger too, much like my other guns..... and the noise of the balloon popping will remind me of the sound of a live round (i will make sure i simulate recoil too)......
i live near the rogue river so i have all the water i need.... balloons will not cost nearly as much as live rounds and if i step way way back i can really work on accuracy. the entire carnival game is heavy and hard to conceal so when i am using a real gun it will be much easier.....
yep, i am in full training mode now!
Packard are you a 4-H - Competition shooter.? So if yes --- What is your scores in Prone & Sitting &
Standing. If it's cool with you.I like to know what your average is. My 8 yr old is now doing 105-145.Her best is 154.But I tell her, If she wont's to get out of juniors,And be a 4-H shooter. She need to hit 250's and above. But she still using a sling. But she will get there,She loves the sport to much. Best sport in the world to me..:smt033PS.Or are you in (JROTC)
Self-defense pistol shooting is not about accuracy, and only a little about trigger control.
Once you have become proficient at center-of-mass hits at up to 20 yards, your time is better spent practicing tactics and quick, short-range, multiple-target strings.
The kind of accuracy you enjoy with your air-pistol may even cause your self-defense skills to atrophy through misapplied practice time.
Accurate shooting is a game. It is an enjoyable game, indeed, but still a game.
The defensive pistol shooter needs to separate his recreational-shooting (game) time from his deadly-serious-shooting (maybe save your life) time.
The two endeavors should not be mixed, because the two experiences are not transitive.
To a great extent, even Airsoft practice is a recreational game, and many of its skills and experiences are not transferable to save-your-life shooting.
Force-on-Force practice requires Airsoft guns and protective equipment, but force-on-force practice is only about tactics, not about shooting.
Shooting skills learned shooting an Airsoft gun are not transferable to the act of shooting the real thing.
I don't think it's a bad idea. It would help keep your skills sharp. Not all of us can get to the range as frequently as we would like.
eh, I mostly only think it's a good idea for target non-target identification with real people instead of 2 dimensional metal or paper targets, as well as reload under stress and gear familiarization.
there's something about standing in a lane at a gun range shooting at a paper target with all sorts of rules about utilizing holsters and loading that feels restrictive.. but then again maybe thats just me..

My Ride: 03 Ti Silver M3
Cruising the Back Roads with Bimmians twin M3s
For the typical auto enthusiast, do-it-your-self modification and refinement is the norm. The true enjoyment is in the DRIVE and the aesthetic beauty of our machines. We may seek out the latest Specs on the newest tuned out road monster eagerly, but choose more subtle and personalized modifications for our beloved automobile. It is in this spirit of "do it in your garage and make it your own" that the Bimmian team set out to modify the Twin E46 M3 Cabrios. These "Twins" began identical in all factory specifications and were refitted to match the theme and scope of two different visions, an exercise in personalizing perfection.
The BMW E46 has quickly become the most popular tuning vehicle in the BMW line-up. With a clean and contemporary yet sporty European style, the BMW 3 series 1999-2006 remains a mainstay and favorite of BMW enthusiasts. The E46 M3 is still one of the fastest and most recognizable off-the-lot European Sports cars available. With a stock 3.2L inline 6 cylinder engine generating 333hp, this car leaves most of us with more than enough power to play with right off the line. The rag top convertible M3 was the start point for the bimmian design team, the perfect car for a long drive down some back roads at high speed and the traffic of the city left far behind.
Carbon Black has always been one of the nicest BMW paint colors. The sun sparkles off the rich dark blue yet as the light dims, it fades to a sleek black. The Stealth M3 was inspired by this color and its tendency to be seen and not seen. Starting on the project car from stock, it was clear that many small parts of the vehicle would have to be modified to remove any bright or dull colors. The front orange bumper reflector became an eyesore, and had to be painted to blend into the body of the car. Bimmian has always specialized in quality painted parts so the evolution continued with a painted replacement for the stock Hood washer grille. As the reflector disappeared and was blended into the front bumper, so the hood washer just became part of the hood.
The next obvious step was the removal of all chrome from the car to keep with the theme. At first the painted kidney grille was considered but it was decided to replace both the M side grilles and the kidneys with Matte black to complete the blackout. Jet Black roundels all round even removed the blue from the BMW emblem keeping with the stealth theme. With the body of the M3 now completely devoid of any chrome or color the orange lenses had to go! Keeping with the stealth theme the front lenses were replaced with smoked clears and SOLARIS mirror bulbs installed to remove any orange refection. The transition to stealth was complete.
It has always been a must to install Halos into the E46 so as par for the course CCFL Angel Eyes were included in the mod. To ensure the absence of yellow was maintained on the M3 it was decided to go with a cool 6000K. Matched with a XENFLO HID upgrade from 4300K stock yellow to 6000K PURE WHITE and Xenon license plate bulbs, the exterior lighting gave the Convertible a distinctive look at night completing the transformation from stock to shock.
Moving in a complete different direction from the sleek elegance of the Stealth M3, the brighter TWIN of the Bimmain pair was sure to be seen. Starting off in a bright Imola red, both a favorite for race cars and police cars alike, the vision for this M3 was pure aggressiveness. Dressed more for burning rubber out of a pit stop than lurking in the city streets, the Bimmian design team wanted to make this stock M3 stand out from the rest. The biggest and most obvious modification was the Vorstiener hood, Trunk lid and front bumper. These light weight Carbon Fiber replacements reduced the overall weight of the vehicle by approx 40 lbs and gave the already aggressive stance of the E46 M3 a major facelift. Custom painted in the Bimmian shop, the hood accents both the Imola red and the Black Carbon Fiber giving the vehicle a two tone effect. The hood vents add a dimension of strength to the vehicle that reassures those who double take on this 3 series that it is in fact an M3. Having the high curved trunk eliminates the need for a spoiler and gives the race car feel on the rear end. The CSL style front bumper with the accented Carbon Fiber splitters completes the Carbon Fiber two tone on the front end.
As with the Stealth M3, the Orange and chrome has to go! Rear taillights were replaced with full-LED, giving an updated look to the rear of the vehicle while Solaris Invisibulbs were installed in the front and side lenses to hid the orange reflection of the turn signal bulbs. Keeping with the vibrant theme of the car, front lenses are replaced with Clear rather than the Smoke replacements. The side markers are upgraded with bimmian LED signals both brighter and clearer than the stock repeaters. As so much Black Carbon Fiber was left on the car it was decided to do full AutoCarbon replacements of the grilles rather than matte black or paint matched. Both the front kidney grilles and the M side grilles are real Carbon Fiber replacements in stark contrast to the stock chrome. Continuing with the Carbon the BMW emblems were overlaid with a Bimmain dynamic CF roundel kit in red and black to match the body of the vehicle. Racing stripes were added along the bottom of the doors to complete the theme of the track car.
Also in contrast to it's TWIN , this M3 was fitted with the new LED Angel Eye kit and an 8000K XENOFLO HID upgrade to give the headlights a light blue hue rather than the pure white of the stealth M3. The 8000K Xenon gives this racer a distinctive look at night that lets others know from afar that they had better get out of the way. Bright and fast, this two tone black and red BMW M3 is an eye catcher that breathes the need for speed.
Interior space of the vehicle is a personal space for any driver. Although a bimmer may gleam on the exterior the cockpit is what the driving experience is all about. The E46 M3 interior is designed for maximum performance and comfort for the hand on the wheel, so bimmian decided these two TWINS needed a facelift on the inside as well. Starting off with ICE, both vehicles received Pioneer AVIC units, featuring Navigation, Bluetooth, DVD/MP3, etc. The dash boards of these vehicles had to be extensively modified to accommodate these double din 7" units and feature custom made double din bezels. AutoCarbon trim seems to fit in well with both themes and just added that finishing touch. The Black Carbon Fiber covered up the brushed aluminum trim in the stealth M3 keeping in line with the blackout look both inside and out. The Carbon accents all over the Carbon M3 demanded the same treatment. In this respect the two remained TWINS to a certain extent with full interior trim kits with different accents. For the Stealth the E-brake handle was replaced with a bimmian CF handle to balance the dash trim in the center of the vehicle. For the M3 racer it was in your face just like the exterior carbon, accented with an AutoCarbon CF steering wheel replacement.
Once completed the Bimmian TWIN M3s didn't seem as similar as each had it's own personality and it's own unique look and feel. Same under the hood the two side by side are a testimony to how each garage enthusiast can shape their own personality and tastes into their love of the automobile. For the bimmian design team it was all about hitting that open road, opening up that throttle and doing it in personalized perfection.

|Im glad i found this post. Within the last year I finally started working for myself. I've gotten hassled by friends who don't understand why it costs so much. Everyone thinks its as easy as resewing a shirt or a pair of jeans. As far as costs for Private jets, yeah those are unbelievable. I worked as an upholsterer for a Jet manufacturer. Ive seen two leather bags, portable dvd player cases as a matter of fact, go for 2,000. All jobs were no less than perfect, we spent close to 350 labor hours per seat.

But it's all not just about money. I have people come in my shop all the time because they need a 4" open seam sewn back together. When I finish they say "what do I owe you", and I always say "nothing, just remember me when you need something more done". Invariably I either get more work from them or they give me more money than I would have asked for in the first place. Of course, my shop is in a very small town where word of mouth means a lot, and I know most of them personally.
You can still get a high quality (in workmanship) basic no frills interior for a more reasonable price by using regular marine or automotive vinyl or cloth. The problem comes when people want all the time consuming custom extras and can't understand that extra labor means we have to charge more. On top of that, all of us have higher overhead because supplies (especially foam) have skyrocketed in cost. This is certainly not exclusive to upholstery shops, everyone is feeling the pinch and having to raise prices.
If you think car interiors are bad, check out the price of an airplane interior. Everything you use needs to be FAA certified flame resistant, and has to have certification papers to prove it. Leather that sells for $10 to $12 a square foot is double that. Fabric that sells for $28 to $35 a yard is $65 to $80 a yard. The carpet I used in a 1955 Cessna 310 cost me $105.00 a yard, and it was only 8 feet wide.
While I agree that you fit what you can afford into your budget, and style of car you drive or are building, that doesn't mean a shop has to compromise it's quality and "image" to suit a particular customers needs.
Let's say I painted 10 high end paint jobs that bring in 5 customers to get the same level of work. That is great right?
But one shoddy job for a cheap customer can scare away 100 potential customers.
On the flip side of that though is that I have seen shops that take care of "VIP" customers or celebrities better than the average customer. That's crap!
Whether you spend $100 or $10,000 at my place, you are important and are going to get the best I can do for that $100.
Back in the 50's and 60's paint and interior were NOT the major high dollar items on a car as they are today. I don't have hard and fast billing records for my early cars but I would estimate most guys spent no more than 15 to 20 percent of their total budget on paint and interior to produce a "local standout" type of car.
Ask around any local car show today and it would not be at all surprising to discover that paint and interior, ALONE, will comprise 40 to 50% of the car's total budget. A $50K car will quite commonly have a $10K interior and a $10K paint job. So for us old timers (and some of the new comers who may have heard old timers yakking), the ever changing RELATIVE costs of building a car has taken some getting used to. And maybe a bit of grumbling along the way.
On the other hand I am totally convinced that the QUALITY of both paint and interior has risen dramatically during my hot rodding life. Paints now provide an eye popping array of color and special effects while, at the same time, providing much greater longevity. Interiors, as mentioned above, have now become one of the visual "wow" factors for a car...while the materials, including the magic of synthetics, have become wonderful to look at, comfortable to ride in, and resistant to wear and abuse. It should also be pointed out that both of these components, paint and interior, are quite labor intensive. And we all know about the need for increasing hourly wages to keep up with the escalating cost of living. So it should should come as no surprise that the cost of these elements of a car have risen disproportionately over the past 40-50 years.
So are these higher relative costs worth it? I think that answer lies in the quality of the car you are building. Take, for example, the two cars in my avatar. They are nearly polar opposites. It would have made no sense to put a $6k interior in the roadster (the whole dang car only cost $5k) and it would have just looked out of place compared to the overall image I was going for.
On the other hand, it wouldn't have made any sense for me to slap together some cheap Naugahyde and staple it to a board...to put in the '32 pickup (which is appraised at 10 times the value of the roadster). The pickup demanded a high quality, Ultra leather, interior.
What I'm trying to say is, fit your interior and paint budget to your OVERALL budget and car's quality. The fact is you can have a cool lookin' hot rod without breaking the bank and without high dollar paint or upholstery. On the other hand, when the car you are building deserves it, a high end paint job and interior are worth every nickel.
My $.02.
While I am sure it's always been this way, people being cheap, I have to think that all these tv shows building cars has a bit to do with what people perceive is involved with an aspect of what they want done. I especially get it when a customer wants a custom fiberglass sub enclosure. Talk about a time consuming process, but it only took an hour on tv.
It really wears you down after a while having these conversations. I really thought that after a while, this "having to prove yourself and your work" nonsense would have stopped. But it seems to continue, everyone thinks they know more than the professional they go to these days, and they already know what it should cost.
Those are the one's that I send down the road! I have worked harder than they will ever comprehend, and earned the right to not put up with jerks like this!
Where do I start? I could go on and on about this subject for hours, but I have to be on an airplane in less than 6 hours so I'll keep it short and sweet!
First of all, I couldn't agree more with what was said by Dan and the others on here. For example, I just had some new porcelain tile put in our house. I found an expert in tile work, and paid him for the job. I didn't bicker with him on the price, because I know what it's like to have a customer complain about the cost! I know nothing about tile work, so I hired him for the job and followed his suggestions and let him use his expertise.
That's my biggest pet peeve, the "experts" that somehow know what an interior should cost. If they know so much, why aren't they doing it themselves? Or, popular this time of year, is motorcycle seats. We do alot of bike seats, usually custom built seats, very few "rebuild" jobs. But we do get alot of inquiries this time of year for them, and do one every so often. It happens all the time..."Billy Bob's Trim Shop on the other end of town can do the job for $400." People probably think I am a jerk because usually my response is something like "Well it sounds like Billy Bob got the job then, doesn't it?" I'm really not trying to be rude, but it bothers me when people expect me to lower our prices because someone else will do it cheaper. I always explain stuff with simple real world situations...it's like going to a really fancy restaurant and ordering a filet mignon and telling the waiter "I can get a steak at Ponderosa for $7.99....."
I know our prices aren't cheap, but I am a stickler for details in about everything I do. I make sure everything I do, and everything that the girls and guys of Krist Kustoms do is as close to perfect as it can be. We redo stuff sometimes...every once in awhile a panel or seat just doesn't turn out the way I envisioned and it needs to be remade. I strive for the best, and I know my customers come to Krist Kustoms because they know how picky I am and can expect top quality. I believe that your work will never improve unless you pick apart everything you do, and make the next job that much nicer. An interior (just like a paint job) can make or break a car. There's nothing worse than watching someone at a car show...they see a good looking car, walk around it, check the wheels, paint, etc, then peek in the interior and get the "EW" face and walk away. Years ago when I was just starting out, I told myself that I won't allow anyone to ever do that to a Krist Kustoms interior. Someone should look at the interior of a car and say "OOOH" or "AHH" and stick around the car for awhile.
On to the leather subject and then I better get to sleep! Haha, anyway...when someone questions whether they should use UltraLeather or Leather, I ask if they want a perfect looking material, or if they want the "natural beauty of leather." They always ask what I mean by the natural beauty of leather. It's simply scars and minor imperfections. We work around scars, but theres always the tiny little bug bite that gets missed, or sometimes, like on a large headliner for example, you just have to live with small imperfections. Leather will wear naturally, and in my opinion, leather looks better the older it gets. The natural wear and aging of leather is something you have to like if you want a leather interior. To me, a drivers seat in a hot rod that shows a little wear and usage is cool...it means the car is used and not babied. If you want an interior that will look more "perfect" and show less wear, go with UltraLeather or a similar material.
I like to hunt for interiors that came out of Krist Kustoms at car shows. I honestly like to see our stuff dirty and a little used and abused. After all, its just a car and should be driven and used as a car. We make our interiors appealing to the eye, but I also design them to be appealing to the butt. We make cool looking seats (in my opinion), but they are also designed to be comfortable. We make slick door panels with neat hand built arm rests, but the arm rests are designed and positioned so that they are useable and comfortable when you are cruising down the road. I think you get the point... Stuff like this is why interiors can be so expensive. We aren't just designing cool looking stuff, we are making them comfortable, durable and long lasting, and neat at the same time. Alot of time goes into making a door panel, or kick panel, or headliner. Theres a TON of work that is hidden that you don't see in the finished product.
You say,"All this over my interior...". Well, actually yes,all this over your interior.
You can spend all kinds of money on forged pistons, or a new stroker crank, etc., and would never think to complain to Jegs, or Summit about the price.
But it makes me laugh when people think their interior should only cost a couple hundred dollar at best, because "its only material and thread".
But what they don't think about, is that the interior is the part of the car that they will spend the most time with. Driving to a far away show or just crusin' through town gives them plenty of time to study their surrounding. Little do they realize that they will hate themselves if they go cheap on the upholstery.
Perfect example: I had a customer who was very excited about the interior on the new car he was finishing up. You know, a high tech, high dollar paint swoopy car, etc. He found out recently that a new, quick, down and dirty upholstery shop just opened locally, so he canceled his slot on my schedule, and is taking it to the other shop, trying to save some money. I have been told about their skills, etc.
It will be interesting to see what gets done "down and dirty".
"The joy of cutting corners is short lived, compared to the bad taste experienced by poor quality!"

Today's "One of Hardin County's Finest Cooks" and his family are some of the recent newcomers to Hardin County. Dr. John Cole joined the practice of my neurosurgeon, Dr. Thad Jackson, and from what I hear from "Dr. J" and some of the nurses, Dr. Cole is quite the cook — to be exact, a gourmet cook.
Cole is a self-taught cook inspired by his mother, father and grandmother. His mom and mama (grandmother) are from Casey County so simple home cooking was the rule.
Of course, seasonal cooking was emphasized given the bounty of veggies and different proteins available here. He started to apply himself to cooking as a surgical intern because he could only spend so many hours a day reading about surgical technique. He was in the U.S. Army at the time and was stationed in Honolulu, Hawaii. Local ingredients were fresh and plentiful and a blending of cultures — Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Native Hawaiian, Polynesian, Vietnamese and French — brought a new interest in cooking.
It was there he had his first sushi, and first taste of real French food. He took some of his dad's passion for the grill, Mama's respect of ingredients and Mom's willingness to try food from other cultures as the guideposts for his culinary adventures.
He is an avid cookbook collector with more than 200 in his collection and reads cookbooks like others read novels. He ended up in Kentucky for medical school as his parents went to the University of Kentucky for undergrad and graduate degrees and he has many family members in the commonwealth. Here he met Bonnie, his "Air Force brat" wife, a pharmacist who was from California at the time. Since Cole was from Maryland, Kentucky seemed to be a good place to make a home. The Coles have 2-year-old twins, Quinn and Lachlan, and live in Elizabethtown.
Welcome, Dr. Cole, and thanks for sharing a great summer menu complete with recipes.
Summertime Gazpacho
2 lbs. heirloom tomatoes, finely diced, reserving all juice and seeds
1 c. water
1/4 c. sweet onion, chopped finely
1 cucumber
2 large yellow, orange or red peppers
1-2 T. sherry vinegar (may substitute 1 T. balsamic and 1 T. apple cider vinegar in a pinch)
1/4 t. cayenne pepper
Kosher Salt
Fresh Ground Pepper
6 T. extra virgin Olive Oil
2 T. minced chives
Add water and onion to a large bowl. Reserve 1 cup of the finely diced tomatoes and add remainder of tomatoes to water.
Peel the cucumber. Slice in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds. Cut each slice into a half moon and add to tomatoes and water.
Seed and finely chop the peppers, reserve 1/4 cup, and dice.
Transfer vegetables with the water to blender and puree until completely smooth. Then press through a strainer a little at a time.
Rinse blender jar and add strained vegetable puree. Add vinegar, salt and black/cayenne peppers. With blender on high speed, gradually add olive oil until emulsified and quite smooth. Taste and season with additional salt, pepper and vinegar. Chill in the refrigerator until cold. Will keep for 2 days.
To serve:
I like to heap a small portion of the reserved diced tomato, cucumber and pepper in a shallow bowl and pour the soup around this island of veggies. I then garnish with an extra drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and chives.
Dr. Cole's Notes:
Some of these recipes are interpretations of recipes from the cookbooks of Thomas Keller, a great French cook. Gazpacho is a summer soup. Therefore, do not use store-bought tomatoes as these are picked green and artificially ripened. The majority of the flavor of a tomato comes from the jelly surrounding the seeds. I omit garlic; the tomato is the star here. If you wish, add 1-2 cloves of finely minced fresh garlic. This pairs well with the grilled cheese recipe included. The soup is better the next day. If it separates, allow to warm for 15 minutes at room temperature and re-blend until smooth.
Caprese Salad
2 large heirloom tomatoes, 1 green and 1 red or yellow
1 package fresh Ovolini or Bocconcini mozzarella cheese
1 cup whole milk and salt to taste
1 cup packed fresh basil
1/3 cup pine nuts
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 medium cloves garlic
Kosher Salt
Fresh Ground Pepper
1/4-1/3 Cup parmesan
Pinch of sea salt
Place fresh mozzarella (whole) in slightly salted whole milk at room temp for 45 minutes to improve flavor. This step can be omitted. Toast pine nuts in a small skillet over low-medium heat, stirring continuously. When they begin to smell nutty and take a slight color, they are done. Set aside to cool.
Wash and squeeze out water from basil and add to food processor. Add cooled pine nuts, cheese and a pinch of salt and pepper. Crush and peel garlic with the side of a knife and add to food processor. Pulse ingredients together until a loose paste forms. Add olive oil in a slow drizzle to running food processor until desired consistency is acquired.
Taste and add additional salt or pepper to taste. Place a piece of plastic wrap on top of pesto and immediately refrigerate. Core and slice tomatoes 1/4-inch thick. Slice fresh mozzarella 1/4-inch thick.
To serve, lay alternating slices of tomato and mozzarella on top of platter. Pour pesto liberally in a stripe down the middle and sprinkle sea salt over the top. Serve immediately.
Dr. Cole's Notes:
I prefer my pesto slightly loose, heavier on the oil. Fresh mozzarella can be improved immensely by soaking it in the warm salted milk. It warms and loosens the cheese and has a fresh flavor. This step can be omitted in the interest of time.
Roasted Tomato and Prosciutto Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
Roasted Tomatoes:
2 lb. heirloom or plum tomatoes
1 t. fresh thyme
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 T. kosher salt
Fresh cracked pepper
1/2 t. granulated sugar
For roasted tomatoes:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Lightly oil a baking sheet and slice tomatoes into 1/4- to 1/3-inch slices and place on baking sheet. If plum tomatoes are used, cut in half and place seed side up on baking sheet. Sprinkle evenly with salt, pepper, sugar, garlic and thyme. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 45 minutes until slightly wrinkled. Remove from oven to cool.
For sandwiches:
Increase oven temp to 350 and preheat. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Lay bottom halves of sandwiches in skillet. Place cheese, prosciutto and a slice of roasted tomato on bottom half. You may add additional cheese over tomato. Top sandwich and liberally butter top with melted butter. Add sandwiches 2 at a time and cook for 1-2 minutes until nicely browned. While bottom is cooking, butter the other half of the bread. Press and flip and cook an additional 45 seconds.
Place on broiler pan and once all are completed place in preheated oven for an additional 2 minutes to melt cheese fully and warm. To serve, slice on the bias and stack. Serve with a bowl of gazpacho and caprese salad on the side.
Dr. Cole's notes:
Bacon may be used to substitute for prosciutto but should be cooked before using on the sandwich. You also could use thinly sliced country ham. For a less sharp sandwich, Gruyere cheese may be used.

Ask the Archivist: Saving Family Diaries
Got precious family diaries? Heed these tips on taking care of your ancestors' most trusted confidants from M. Scott Simkins, head conservator at the Family History Library.
Q. What's so special about family diaries?
A. When you're immersed in them, it's easy to envision who your relatives were and to feel your heritage. After you read for a while, you find there are certain ways they phrase things. The handwriting, the papers and the little things they may tuck in are really cool to see and act as a sort of time machine.

A Shovel Full of Trouble
Things got hot after the snow fell in Saratoga and now a city man is charged with using a show shovel to break the window of a city-owned front-end loader.
A call came in early Sunday morning on Beekman Street and then there was an argument about snow removal between a city worker and Robert McCall, 52, who was shoveling snow into the street, according to Lt. Robert Jillson.
Tempers began to flare and police say McCall used his snow shovel to crack the window of the front-end loader. The official charge is Criminal Mischief (4th Degree) intentionally damaging property, a Class-A Misdemeanor.

"I have ordered this card twice, once for both of my girls. These cards are beautifully designed and give you the option for multiple pictures, easy to read information and even a quote you can change on the bottom. The cards have a nice sturdy paperweight and the photos are printed beautifully. I would recommend these cards."
"The photos we had taken of our new baby had a lilac and grey background which perfectly complimented the colours on this card (I chose the grey print). I selected rounded corners and pearl shimmer finish and it was absolutely perfect. I also selected to print 3 pictures on the back side along with a quote- love how it turned out! A beautiful card!!"
"When I first received these announcements I was very upset because the font in green was barely legible - it was way too light and it doesn't look this light on their site. So I contacted customer service and they got back to me immediately and they sent me new announcements with darker green font color without any hassle. They look great and I am so pleased with them! I have used tiny prints numerous times and this was the first complaint I had and their customer service was wonderful! I will continue to use them in the future."
"We played around with the idea of the post card and thought it was perfect because our daughter was born outside the USA"
"We loved this design. We used a black and white photos of out baby girl, one for the front and one in the back. I thought it was just a bit too much pink, so we changed the font color to the chocolate to better match the photo. We also chose the double thick matte paper which gave the announcement some added weight and thickness. Worth the extra money and definitely feels like a high quality product."

Save Blair Mountain and Coal River Mountain
You have a chance to raise your voice right now about two mountains that are slated for destruction in Southern West Virginia. This week the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection is taking comments on the renewal of the now expired Camp Branch Permit on Blair Mountain, as well as the Beetree Surface Mine Permit on Coal River Mountain.
Submit comments for Coal River Moutnain by August 9th – http://iLoveMountains.org/Coal-River
Sumbit comments for Blair Mountain by August 13th – http://iLoveMountains.org/Blair-Mountain
Just two months ago, 1,000 people gathered in Southern West Virginia to march on Blair Mountain, demanding that the mountain be preserved and rightly recognized as a National Historic Place. Weeks later, two tree sitters began an occupation of Coal River Mountain, which is ongoing and continues to prevent blasting on Coal River Mountain.
Now the EPA needs to hear from you that mountaintop removal needs to end.

Sabres' penalty killers are frustrated
'"Our penalty killing is near the bottom of the league, and now we've got to race to the top," coach Lindy Ruff said. "Structure-wise, we've been OK. We've made some big mistakes. Shot lanes are so important, and we've missed some shot lanes. Pucks aren't hitting us. When they don't hit you, the result is usually the shot goes in or somebody's allowed to tip the puck in front of the net."'
Flat play puts target on Ruff
'There's little to the mystery of why this franchise has missed the playoffs five of the last eight years. Either the personnel isn't what the GM fancies it or the coaching fails to extract optimum performance from the players at hand. What prevents the organization from pinpointing the problem is the absence of a team president with the knowledge to discern the difference.'
