Over-Ear item created by n3135x, Jan 15, 2013
Pros - Excellent sound for the age.
Cons - Not enough volume with smartphones
I bought these new in 1978 for 1 or $200, can't remember. They were the best sounding for my budget at the time. Smooth and flat sounding. Needs lots of horse power to get loud. They still sound good for 30+ yr. old headphones. I bought an HTC DNA smartphone that has "Beats Audio" a built in 2.55v amp for phone speaker and headsets. The HP-3s are 'just sufficient' at full volume but no distortion at least. You'll need a 3.5mm adapter for the 1/8" plug which is a pain lugging it around. I think it's time to update (for the phone at least!).


text: I have four 30 frame horizontal hives using deep frames with a queen excluder in the center and a queen in each end, an entrance at each end. These hives are mainly for brood production but I have on occasion placed supers on one just to experiment. You have to place a center divided queen excluder in the center of the hive and super up in the middle of the hive when you use this configuration. I did loose one of the queens in one of the hives at one time while I had a super on and it still worked well with the center location of the supers and two entrances. In my Alzheimer clouded mine there is no better configuration for raising brood for making splits than to run a 30 frame horizontal hive with the center excluder and two good strong queens. During a good strong nectar flow I have had to add a new super about every two weeks. The most honey I have ever had in a year was seven medium supers of honey from one hive.

|Looking for a reminder of the difference a year can make? If so, just take a look at the last year or so for the WebSphere CloudBurst product. Since about this time last year, we have seen the release of versions 1.1, 1.1.1, 2.0, and 220.127.116.11, each one bringing their own set of major enhancements and features. Owing to this aggressive pace, it is sometimes easy to miss out on the latest capabilities of the product. For that reason, I wanted to give a brief rundown of some (definitely not all) of the major additions to WebSphere CloudBurst over the past year.
|In my view, this is quite an impressive list of features delivered within a year's time. I should also reiterate that this is by no means a complete list, but just a selection of some of the major enhancements during this time. If you have any questions about the above additions, or if you have any questions on other features, please let me know.

Documenting the fate of over 17 million people from the National Socialist era
The International Tracing Service underwent a historic restructuring at the beginning of the year. In addition to its previous functions, it will be expanded into a research and documentation centre under a new leadership. Federal Foreign Minister Westerwelle welcomed the new International Commission of the ITS at its constituent assembly in Berlin.

Since 1955 the International Tracing Service in Arolsen, with its around 30 million original documents, has been a key institution for clarifying the fate of victims of National Socialism. Every month, around a thousand people still turn to the archive with search requests.
The archive will become a research and documentation centre.
With the signing of a partnership agreement with Germany's Federal Archives and a new ITS agreement with the eleven member countries, the Tracing Service came under a new treaty regime on 1 January. The International Committee of the Red Cross withdrew from the leadership at the beginning of the year, and the Federal Archives became a new institutional partner. Professor Rebecca Boehling, the new director of the ITS, will also oversee the transformation of the archive into a centre of research, information and documentation.
The documents tell the stories of the fates of individuals

Since it was founded, the ITS has provided information on more than twelve million cases, has clarified the fate of individuals and reunited families. When he welcomed the new International Commission of the ITS at the Federal Foreign Office, Foreign Minister Westerwelle said that he was especially moved by the fact that a human story was behind every single record.
Protection against forgetting

The Foreign Minister thanked the representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross and the member countries of the International Commission for their dedication. The restructuring of the ITS was, he said, also a vote of confidence in Germany's way of dealing with the dark side of its past. Germany was, he went on, aware of the significance of the collection and took its historical duties seriously. Because fewer and fewer first-hand witnesses were able to tell of the horrors of the Nazi period, the archive collection in Arolsen was also "protection against forgetting", he added.

Tofu holds up beautifully on the grill as long as you use the firm nigari kind. You'll need 4 metal skewers (10 to 12 in. each) or wooden skewers soaked in water to prevent burning.

Thread: Cam Speaks
Re: Cam Speaks
Just because Cam was let go, it doesn't change his friendship and love for the people and the organization he's been with for 5 years.... or their friendship and love for him. While his play calling was not working out this year, it had it's good moments and bad moments over the past 5 seasons. Where would Joe be today without him? Better... worse? We'll never know. In an odd way, the offensive struggle over the years and what these players and coaches have learned through the struggle and constantly trying what didn't work, has taught them what does work.
Thanks Cam! I hope you get a ring.
Re: Cam Speaks
Exactly right. CAM was the one who got Joe started. DeCosta told us at Nest 1 that neither he or Oz ever heard of Flacco until
their East Coast scout called Eric and said you gotta see this guy at Delaware. He's the real deal. Eric said I never even been
to Delaware and didn't know anyone in the state much less a QB. It was so hard for me to go to that campus and give him a
high grade.
So ERic waited for Joe to come down here to play Towson State. He went to the pre-game practice and saw this giant
walk on the field, pick up a fooball and throw it 40 yards and laid it on a dime and he said, damn, I gotta see this guy. Then
he took all his scouts to see JOe come back in the last 2 mins to beat Navy- sound familiar like in Denver - huh?????
Every scout turned in an A for Joe and then went to work on him.
HARBs was hired and he brought in CAM. Eric said here's CAM looking for a new house to move his family and I asked him
to work Joe out at Delaware. It was just Cam and me plus the scout and Joe and his coach and dad. CAM loved him and
said to draft him. CAM was also impressed how Joe quickly changed some basic mechanics when he asked him to. CAM
was on the Flacco bandwagon.
Eric told us Im not sure we would have drafted Matt Ryan even if he was there because of all the work my dept did on
Flacco. Everyone liked Ryan but I liked Joe and Joe goes to the Super Bowl first and with all those great receivers Ryan
had down there. We're in the SB cause Joe was/is the hottest QB in the POs.
CAM also said that day in Delaware that I'm the only one who talks to JOe. He didn't want 50 coaches giving him mixed
signals. So they bring Zorn in and there's a conflict but maybe that's why. CAM didn't want too many people confusing him.
Joe seemed to dislike CAM for some reason over the years but CAM got him started and Caldwell finished the Flacco
package. Caldwell said Manning is still doing the same drills I taught him 10 years ago. Now Flacco is too.
CAM is a big part of Joe's success and deserves a ring and another OC job and he'll get it.

Re: Cam Speaks
And one last thing. Casserly was on TV talking about Flacco about a month before the POs. He's the
former GM of the Skins who gave Joe Gibbs all that SB talent during the 90s and was the first GM
of the Houston franchise and set them up from the beginning.
He said Joe is doing so well this year because he is finally reading the defenses as soon as he walks
up to the line. He is checking down when he has to and going to his secondary receiver.
They always say it takes time to train an NFL QB and JOe finally did it all right this year and so did
Ryan who just missed the SB coming in at the same time as Joe.
Re: Cam Speaks
Really? Out of which orifice?
Re: Cam Speaks
Another article in the N.Y. Times.
Some in the punditry business have cited Cameron's firing as a catalyst for the team's success. If you think this annoys him, think again.
"It was a brilliant move," Cameron said Wednesday at his home outside Baltimore. "Everyone on the team took a look in the mirror after that."

Re: Cam Speaks
If he comes out ad trashes us in that story he doesnt get a ring, but because he is amicable (perhaps overly so for a suposed egomaniac) then he will get one.
I believe that if he wouldn't have been here last season in AFCC then we would have been so far ahead that evans and cundiff f-ups wouldn't have mattered.
Re: Cam Speaks
I have had a number of rants about Cam over the years and was really glad when he was let go.
I do not wish him bad times, but I think his statement kind of sums it up for me.
Maybe I'm too sensitive about it, especially seeing how well the Ravens and Joe are doing now.
But, it appears, that Cam thinks the players are playing better because they think if he was canned, they could be too, so they better perform better???? Is that what he is saying????
And that is why they are doing better and winning and NOT because he is not there calling the same plays from the 60's that don't work, over and over again???
That him being fired caused them to "execute" better now? Am I the only one thinking that?
Re: Cam Speaks
Don't speak. I know just what you're thinking. Don't tell me cuz it hurts!
Re: Cam Speaks
Cam's a class guy, and he shows it here. I think he earned a ring, too.
I am among those who thought he was the biggest problem on the offensive side of the ball the last couple of years, but that doesn't mean he was a big contributor to the team's success this year.
Re: Cam Speaks
So now not only is the guy incapable of or completely opposed to in game adjustments. But he is totally unable to believe that anyone could do a better job than him.
What an egomaniac. If the team wants to give him a ring, I don't care, it's not my team so I have no say. But if I did have a say, I'd say fuck you and thanks for helping screw the pooch the past couple years. Dick.We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid. - Benjamin Franklin
Re: Cam Speaks
As center Matt Birk put it, "It's not like we changed everything we were doing."
That's what I'm getting too. What's nicely hidden in Birk's statement is that, while they didn't change everything, they changed the things that needed changing. But if Cam has to think that way in order to avoid being depressed, it's fine with me.

State healthcare insurance exchange board updates community as deadline rolls closer
POCATELLO, Idaho - For those who do not yet have health insurance, the January 1 deadline to jump on a plan is rapidly approaching.
Chairman of the Idaho Health Insurance Exchange Board Stephen Weeg updated the community on Wednesday on the new advancements the board is making toward coming up with a concrete exchange plan before its October 1 deadline, and what Idahoans need to know before purchasing health insurance.
"The deadline is approaching, October 1 isn't that far away, but we've made a lot of progress," Weeg said.
Since the topic can be complex, the board will start a strong outreach program starting in late August. The board will appoint people called 'assistors' to help answer questions and show people how and where to apply in order to get on a health insurance plan that is right for them.
The board will also launch a website to help guide people through the tedious details within the next few weeks.
Here is a link to the current website where you can view the board's minutes, agenda, and even read-up on some of the complexities of the new state exchange program.
Weeg also said there is still a vast majority of people who do not yet have health insurance because they either cannot afford it, or they just do not find this a necessity.
"So it's not so much a matter of total disregard, it's more a matter of affordability for a lot of people...and if you're under 30, you have that sense of invincibility."
Although people who do not have health insurance yet should not be too worried, the final deadline for people to find that health insurance plan is March 31. On April 1, the penalties will start to kick in.
According to the national Affordable Care Act, starting in 2014, families will be charged $285 or 1% of their total income, while individual taxpayers will be charged $95 or 1% of their income. Every year thereafter, that amount will rise and can add up to a hefty sum after a few years.
Weeg said signing up for an insurance program through the state will be much cheaper versus signing with the federal Affordable Care Act. To use the federal marketplace, the premium fee starts at 3.5% while the Idaho exchange starts at a 1.5% premium fee.
Another new aspect to the state's insurance exchange program will be the difference in premium levels. Weeg mentioned, in Idaho, the difference in premium prices between a young person and an older individual is five-to-one, meaning the older person's premium could be as much as five times as high as the younger individual's premium.
But the new law will state a three-to-one cap. This means those who are ages 55 to 60 will see a slight decrease in premium prices, but the younger pool of Idahoans might see their premium rise slightly higher.
But, don't get too excited quite yet.
There are various other factors these insurance companies will now have to consider. All of the things insurance companies never had to worry about when they were playing in the group market will now come into play. This includes: getting a raise, an addition to the family, a divorce, leaving your job for whatever reason, and anything else that might effect your tax credit.
So, now insurance companies will be able to look at your tax credit information in order to determine how much your premium will be and how much they will need to charge the federal government in picking-up the rest of the cost you won't be paying.
Confused? That's okay, just keep reading. If you already understand all of this, then disregard these next two paragraphs.
All you need to know right now is that depending on what your tax credit is, that will determine how much your premium bill will drop. The federal government will cover the rest. This means the insurance company will get two bills - one from the taxpayer and one from the federal government.
So, once an individual selects an insurance plan after shopping around the virtual marketplace (the exchange), that information will be sent to that specific insurance company, they will enroll the individual, and then the insurance company will send them the bill. Depending on the premium plan, the individual will pay the insurance company a portion of that bill, and the federal government will pay their share of the premium.
Weeg also said this new state-based exchange has created a tremendous influx of insurance companies who want to offer on the Idaho exchange than currently sell individual plans to any other degree. So with the increase of plans and carriers, the board is still trying to figure out which plans will show up on the exchange because now there are plans for individuals and small business employers.
In order to qualify for the federal exchange, families or individuals can earn incomes up to 400% of the poverty level. This year in 2013, this equates to a family of four earning an income of $92,200 each year.
Weeg said there are currently 190,000 Idahoans who will be needing to purchase healthcare insurance by the deadline. In other words, one out of every seven people living in Idaho will be shopping in the state exchange after it opens in order to escape those hefty penalties.

When I used to patrol the Appellation Trail I used Dr Brommers Peppermint Castile soap and it kept them away,, 99% of the time,maybe only had 2-3 on me in the 12 years so I'm guessing it works pretty well. Peppermint is a natural insect repellent I gather. I used to put a small smear around the brim of my cap and it keeps all but the most determined skeeter and deer fly away too.
That is one of the things that was always in my pack,, it's 100% all natural and non toxic towards the environment ,too and last forever sense it very concentrated plus you get super suds even in the hardest of water . The label is kind of a hoot to read too,, it reads like some snake oil salesmen's pitch,,,,but it sure does work, a must have for sure. It gives your body a good tingle when you shower or bath with it too ,, bad part though,,,,,,,,

Here in Washington they are titled as a reproduction car but one is allowed to carry over the existing title on a car that has been rebuilt from the ground up..
|Thanks. So is the only way to legally register and title a reproduction vehicle as an original year model to have a certain amount of original parts on it? Or are all states different and some allow an original model year title and paperwork on a reproduction or they just don't really check or care?
Those plates are reproductions and you can find them almost anywhere. E-bay for example. I have one as well and when I get a vin # for mine I'll have it engraved in the blank pad and stick it on the car somewhere.
Now, if the vin number that's on that plate is a legit number and the car is registered under that number one of two things happened. Either the owner purchased an "historical document" and passed it off as the title/registration for his glass car (which is fraud by the way), or he started with an original car that was way too far gone to restore and (assuming he legally owned the original) used the vin and title along with other original parts to register his glass car. Just because the frame looks new doesn't mean it isn't original and might actually belong to that vin number. One sure fire way to know is to check the frame for the vin number as it is stamped into the top of the frame on the driver's side near the spot where the firewall connects to the frame. Trust me there are a lot of cars out there with original frames that look brand new and some have glass bodies and some are Henry steel. It can be really hard to tell if the builder knew what he was doing.

VIN plates
Ok, this is probably a stupid questions and shows I'm an idiot (well probably) but how do people have what appear as authentic looking VIN plates on a glass car sitting on a aftermarket frame? I have a real '30 Ford Coupe, and I have nothing against reproductions. But I'm always curious how they are titled and registered as an original ('32's are good examples as most have nothing original) and even more so when they have VIN plates on them. The attached is a pic from the firewall on a glass '32 on ebay.

I surprised myself with this one. It's pretty good and has a nice scent.
I surprised myself with this one. It's pretty good and has a nice scent.
I suggest Safari by Ralph Lauren if your a macho kinda guy:
Or 1 Million by Paco Rabanne if you want the ladies:
Prada for Men
Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue
I've received many, many compliments on both from women.
I find the D&G is more of a 'day time'/casual cologne.
I love them both
most recent fragrance i've bought is Yves Saint Laurent L'HOMME
GLI W220 GLX Golf Sport
I ended up with a Hugo Boss Baldessarini Del Mar Seychelles (whoa that's a long name), reminds me of the CK Euphoria I used to have and love.
with Spring right around the corner, what are some of your guys' go-to Spring frags?
i've always been partial to Banana Republic Men
Escada - Sunset Heat
A light, citrus scent.. Definitely a year round scent that.
I've smelled Burberry Brit and London and know that I like them both, I can't remember their distinct scents. Would either be appropriate for the spring/summer time? If not, what would be a nice scent?
London is no - it's definitely more of a fall/winter night frag because of its tobacco/leather/mossinness.
I think Brit is a lighter one that should be alright for spring/summer.
In general for spring/summer, look for fragrances that use terms like "marine" or "aqua" in their descriptions or profiles. I really like my Nautica Voyage - it's inexpensive, has a long staying power, and projects decently well. Oh, and it smells really good and clean. Chicks dig it
Thanks again.
Just bought Lacoste white, very fresh invigorating scent. Lacoste blue didn't smell to bad either.
If anyone is interested, I am going to post in the for sale thread that I have some Pure Havane for sale.
Check out the different Polo colors, they're nice and light, I wear Burberry London on the cooler/cloudy days, and Polo Black for the sunny/warmer days and it seems to fit. I'm in San Antonio if that helps any.
For clean scents I also like CK Free. My favorite warm weather cologne ever was Kenneth Cole Signature but I haven't been able to find it for sometime. Although a quick google on it shows it's still available.
was looking for a new summer-ish fragrance today, smelled the new Tierry Muglier, the new Issey Miyake summer fragrances. I didnt really like either, the issey I liked somewhat but it was very potent, a bit too much for my liking. The allure homme sport extreme was okay, i gave up looking and went with YSL L'Homme, can never go wrong there.
I got Tommy Bahama St. Bart's recently - a very tropical scent that starts out pina colada-ish and mellows out to a really nice aquatic scent similar to Nautica Voyage
I have used Diesel for a few years now. More than my other colognes.
Anybody make their own cologne? I would really like to find an all natural or chemical free cologne that actually smells good. I had tinkered with the idea of some essential oils and a solid oil base. All the stuff out there that I've seen (Aubrey Organics, etc..) smells like patchouli or I dumped some bay rum or gin all over myself.
I like the Guess line.
GTI Autobahn 2015 Pure White.
BMP GTI DSG : Eurojet 3" downpipe : APR Stage 2 : DeAutokey LEDs : FK Streetline 13.4 @ 103 (Sold)
Instagram: Eurolover23
Just got the Tommy Bahamas "very cool". It is by far an amazing smell, not too strong definetly a good choice for summer.
picked up some Chrome Sport (Azzaro) yesterday at Marshall's. Great aquatic, lasts maybe 6-7 hours on me. Good for anyone looking for a summer scent.

Hello everyone!
I hope somebody more experienced can give me some advice.
I am a Hungarian national in England, Brighton. In Hungary I've graduated at a uni as an EFL teacher.
Is it true that, although I have a proper degree, which could be acquired in 5 years, I can only teach here or any other countries if I have an internationally recognised qualification (like CELTA)? In other words, can I use my uni degree for anything here or any other parts of the world? Also if I do the CELTA, what chances do I have as a non-native speaker to find a TEFL job? I am considering staying for some more years abroad before I go back to Hungary so I have to know if I have any chances to work in EFL teaching or I have to find something else. Does anybody know about the situation in Greece? Is it possible for non-native speakers to teach there?
I would be grateful if u could help me with some info. Thanks a lot.

The Perfect Fall Fragrance For You!
For a summery-glow on your big day, start your look with an illuminating primer, like Boots No 7 Instant Radiance Beauty Balm. Then apply a sheer, hydrating foundation, like Dr. Jart+ Water Fuse Smart Gel BB for flawless, dewy skin! Finish off the look with a swipe of your favorite, shimmery peach lipgloss and some false lashes for just a touch of laid-back glamour.
Matching pinks on your lips and cheeks creates a super flirty vibe that brightens up your face for all those Instagram quince moments!

« more RISD stories
Graphic Design Professor Jan Baker has curated an exhibition of handcrafted, one-of-a-kind artists' books.
has an interesting story deep down within themselves," says Professor of
Graphic Design Jan Baker. For the past 30 years,
she has been encouraging students to bring forth their own inner stories by
inspiring them to create artists' books. And this year, while working as a
Library Fellow in the RISD Artists' Book Collection, Baker took the opportunity
to revisit more than 500 artists' books she has collected over the years – all
made by former students – and curate an exhibition highlighting some of her
favorites from each decade.
BOOKMARK, the extensive
exhibition is on view at the Fleet
Library at RISD, woven throughout the first floor, mezzanine and second-floor
spaces. "It's a feast for the eyes, mind and heart," Baker says, with
beautifully made, one-of-a-kind or very limited edition books covering themes
ranging from alphabets, animals and food to nature, culture, travel and sensual
experiences. "Even though you can't open each and every one of the books to
read their touching narratives," she says, "you'll find snippets and glimpses
of stories about family, siblings, grandparents, friends and lovers, about feelings,
colors and sound, and about pets and imagined creatures."
addition to covering a wide range of subject matter, each artist's book in the
exhibition is a lovingly made work of art, Baker points out. Students wrote,
edited, designed, printed and hand-bound each of the books being shown. And in
the process, they not only revealed their inner interests and stories, they
experimented with different papers, printing techniques and binding structures.
visitors to the exhibition will be inspired by the abundance of creativity
these books represent," Baker says. "Maybe some will even make a book of their
own this summer – about a story they hold inside."
BOOKMARK continues through the end of July at the
Fleet Library at RISD, 15 Westminster Street

I prefer ambi safties on my 1911's and 2011's, very useful in competition shootings.
Do you like the ambi safeties or not?
I prefer ambi safties on my 1911's and 2011's, very useful in competition shootings.
They're useful if your strong-side hand gets injured, too.
I like them for just a range shooter. For a concealed carry 1911, I prefer a single side.
They are a must for me
I'm a lefty.
As a lefty on a working carry gun I can take them or leave them but would prefer to leave them. I see the benefit but living in a righty world I have gotten used to azz backwards. Left thumb back and around to sweep off on draw, index finger to sweep it up and back on. Side of index/trigger finger for the slide stop and middle or index for mag release. For right handed wrong way training I'm already set with controls on the left to use my right thumb.
I am concerned about how much resistance some of these safety's have. Positive engagement or lack thereof I believe it is called. Many of the ambi's (not all) that I have tried were a bit too easy to bump off for my taste. Case in point the RIA Tactical or GI both have very lightly tensioned safety's. Not cool. Kimbers that I have tried had the same issue but not as bad. Springfield and I'm sure many others seem to know how to do it right thus improving the concept for my tastes.
If I had started out shooting 1911's with ambi's I would no doubt not settle for anything else but I trained too long with out it so they feel foreign. Muscle memory is a weird thing. I'm not too old to change but I am growing more resistant. Long story short I respect the concept but no thank you.
Another southpaw here and I prefer the ambi safety. In fact, shortly after I got my Wilson CQB, I sent it back to Wilson to have them install an ambi safety. I try to practice using each hand by itself and I find it easier to "run the gun" in one-handed mode with a safety available on both sides of frame. I know JMB didn't design the 1911 with an ambi safety but I think it's one reasonable improvement to his iconic design.
It's also interesting to note that a number of non-1911 semi-autos feature either ambi safeties or ambi decockers.
I have two with and two without. For carry, I prefer without, but then I'm right-handed.
I don't care for them. But on 1911's I own that do have them, I haven't changed them... yet.
I don't care for them; no reason in particular, I just prefer the single-side safety...
Im right handed,but Ambi is nice if i have to use my left hand.
Im a lefty so I have it on my EDC Kimber. My other Kimber . . .no
Wouldn't be without a safety on the right side of my pistol.
I'm right handed and I see no advantage and a couple of disadvantages.
The extra safety adds width, and typically the ambi-safeties are of the extended variety--useful if you are wearing gloves, unnecessarily large if you are not.
I am in favor of the safeties that can be switched from one side to the other.
Ambi safeties are a necessary evil when one is left-handed. This is especially true since no one I am aware of, makes a left-handed 1911 style pistol. Whenever I consider the purchase of another 1911, I just mentally add $50-$75 to have the ambi-safety added.
The ambi safety also comes in very handy when practising off-hand shooting.
i voted no because being a righty i don't need an ambi-safety as all guns are set-up for the right handed person.
if i was wounded and unable to use my right hand, my left hand couldn't help me much anyway because i can't shoot worth a crap left handed.
Given a choice, I'll take the ambi, but it's no big deal to me, one way or the other, since I mostly just shoot my 1911 at the range. I love it, but I prefer striker-fired guns that don't need lever safeties, for concealed carry.

Jessica + Mike
June 2011
Private Residence, New Jersey
About the wedding: "We were going for a very natural organic,Tuscan theme for Jess and Mike's wedding. I also like to plan sustainably smart whenever possible. By doing so, we used recycled wine crates and potted fresh herbs in terra cotta pots that guests could take home and plant in their garden. Tables were named after Italian love phrases or names. Their delicious cupcakes came from Petit Cafe in Nutley, famed for their 'double stuffed cupcakes'. Jessica and Mike's cupcakes were befitting to the Italian theme as well. One of the cupcakes, named the "Bada Bing", was a chocolate cupcake stuffed with Mascarpone and Expresso Custard topped with Amaretto Whipped cream and finshed off with a bing cherry! This wedding truly captured the rustic Tuscan garden theme that Jess and mike wanted to incorporate into their wedding day. It was so wonderful working collaboratively with Jess and Mike to make their wedding a true reflection of thier own unique personal style." – Christine Hyder, the coordinator

Green Bay Men's Tennis Rallies for Road Win at DePaul
By: Ryan Hartwig (@GBHartwig)
CHICAGO (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – The Green Bay men's tennis team improved to 2-0 on the young season on Saturday afternoon, rallying for a 4-3 road victory against DePaul in the Windy City. The Phoenix dropped the doubles point to start the match, but rebounded to win four of the six singles contests to hand the Blue Demons (1-1) their first loss of the year.
DePaul grabbed the 1-0 lead by taking the No. 2 and No. 3 doubles matches. Green Bay's lone doubles win came at the No. 1 spot, as the tandem of Howard Scott (Exeter, England) and Michael Tenzer (Neuried, Germany) outlasted Filip Dzanko and Jan-Willem Feilzer 6-5 (6).
The Phoenix regrouped in singles play, corralling wins at the top three spots to move within a point of clinching the match.
Scott and Tenzer both won their second matches of the day in singles action, as Scott picked up a win at the No. 1 spot against Dzanko (6-2, 6-4), and Tenzer beat Adam Reinhart (6-4, 6-1) at No. 3. Sophomore Leopold Gomez Islinger (Weiden, Germany) delivered another point for Green Bay with his 6-0, 6-1 rout of DePaul's Kyle Johnson at No. 2.
Securing the victory was freshman newcomer Jorge Gonzalez Soler (Madrid, Spain), who defeated Tim Corwin 6-3, 6-1 at No. 6 singles to clinch Green Bay's fourth and final point.
The Phoenix has a quick turnaround, traveling to Milwaukee to face IUPUI in a neutral-site contest on Sunday at 10 a.m.

Phoenix Falls 3-1 to Niagara
NIAGARA FIELD, N.Y. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - After a quick turnaround following an exciting double overtime win Friday against Northern Illinois, the Green Bay (2-2-0) men's soccer team tied the contest 1-1 in the second half against Niagara but could not overcome the Purple Eagles, falling 3-1 in the first of a four-game road trip Sunday, Sept. 2 at Nigara Field, N.Y.
Eight minutes into the contest, Niagara's Julian Ekeze found the back of the net for the early 1-0 lead.
Green Bay had two cornerkicks and two shots in the first half of action as sophomore goalkeeper Max Nimmo (Janesville, Wis.) made his first collegiate career start with the Phoenix, filling in for senior Ryan Wehking (St. Louis, Mo.) who is out due to an injury.
In the 71st minute, sophomore Kirby Allen (Appleton, Wis.) scored his team-high third goal of the season. Allen's goal was unassisted and knotted the contest 1-1.
Niagara answered in the 82nd minute when Micah Paulino found Bryan Da Cruz to give the Purple Eagles the 2-1 advantage. With just over two minutes to play in the contest, Niagara capitalized on a penalty kick to seal the 3-1 win.
Green Bay finished the game with three cornerkicks while Ahmad Bah (Brooklyn Park, Minn.) led all players with four shots while Allen chipped in three.
Nimmo finished the contest with five saves for the Phoenix.

I'm an older guy and my eyes aren't what they were. I have the XS sites on my Hi Power.
I love the big front sight for combat ahooting. That thing looks like a white bowling ball.
The rear sights are the problem. It's not a notch. It's a shallow V with a narrow vertical white line in the center.
For me it's no good for target shooting. Also the sight picture XS recommends is the front sight Covers the POA.
I've spent 40+ years doing the POA at the 6 o
clock of the target.
As for the company video. I'm reasonably sure the guy shooting has spent hours and thousands of rounds in practice to get to that level. He probably doesn't even need sights.
Try to find somebody that has the XS sites and try them. There are people that love them.

Fuel and road use taxes
Whether traveling solely within or through the state of Indiana in a commercial vehicle all carriers must generally file and pay a fuel and road use tax. Registering with the Indiana Department of Revenue and displaying a valid annual Compliance Decal and permit cab card accomplish this. There are two methods of registration depending on whether the carrier operates intra-state or inter-state.
The International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) is an agreement between state taxing jurisdictions within the United States (except, Washington D.C., Alaska and Hawaii) and most Canadian provinces. The basic goal is a simplification of fuel use licensing and one administrating base jurisdiction.
A motor carrier should register with Indiana as an IFTA licensee if Indiana is the base jurisdiction and the motor carrier operates a qualified motor vehicle in at least one other state besides Indiana.
A qualified IFTA motor vehicle is a motor vehicle used, designed, or maintained for transportation of persons or property and:
The intra-state compliance emblem and fuel permit cab card is only valid inside Indiana. A qualified motor vehicle is any motor vehicle propelled by motor fuel that is;

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|just footnoting.
|This thread is 7 years old.
The pre-serpentine V-Belt pump rotates clockwise just like the crankshaft when viewed from the front. The serpentine pump rotates counter-clockwise viewed from the same direction. This is also true of the fan blade pitch direction. So the pump and fan must be matched with the type of belt drive when using OEM or OEM type aftermarket drives. Not all aftermarket serpentine drives do this some are available that drive the pump and fan the same direction as the V-belt system.
Confusion: this occurs between the definitions for the GEN I 350 with or without Vortec heads, these are conventional cooling engines where the coolant is pumped into the front of the block cooling cylinder walls first then passing into the heads to cool the combustion chambers then returning with a common passage molded into the front of the intake manifold to the radiator. These engines use V-belts or Serpentine belts depending upon year of manufacture. The V-Belt pump and fan turns clockwise with the crankshaft rotation, the serpentine pump and fan turns counter-clockwise against crank rotation but both deliver coolant to the same passages in the block and return through the passage molded as part of the intake. The reversed cooling LT1 and LT4 of the mid 1990's is a GEN II small block it is a different beast. It looks very different from the GEN I with a completely foreign front end and no distributor. While the inside parts interchange, nothing of the block, heads, intake, or front end are common between them; at least not without a lot of expensive machine shop modification. This engine pumps coolant into a passage in front of the block where it is all turned and fed into the heads first (hence reversed coolant flow). After cooling the heads it flows down into the block where it moves forward to exit at the front under the coolant inlet ports. From there it goes to a mixing chamber which contains a multiple stage thermostat that mixes cold coolant from the radiator and hot coolant from the engine in a proportion that keeps the entire engine at a constant temp front to rear and top to bottom. In the conventional GEN I engine cold coolant enters at the front of the block and blasts against cylinders 1 and 2 which are always colder than the others giving them greater piston to cylinder wall clearance resulting in less efficiency and more unburnt hydrocarbon emissions as a result. This was one of the big problems the GEN II tried to solve with its complex and reversed cooling the other was to run higher compression for greater efficiency by cooling the combustion chambers first instead of the cylinder walls.
Anyway, this is a long digression about reversed cooling in the GEN II engines which is not to be confused with the reverse rotation of the serpentine and V-belt water pumps and fans of the GEN I engines.
I have the same issue!!
i bought a crate 5.7 vortec heads that i just transplanted into a 79 camaro, i was thinking it was going to be simple, just put the whole serpentine setup on that block and done deal..... till it started over heating. i went to local auto parts store and the water pumps flow differently... NOW I DONT KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS ISSUE!! lol
|Sly's 53 Suburban
|I really appreciate all the help. I guess I'll go treasure hunting through a few wrecking yards. I like wondering through wrecking yards anyway. I can post back when I figure out what brackets and pulley's I end up using.
|Sorry I can't help you on a specific donor vehicle. I just used the same set up from the Nova. It may depend on the accessory holes on the intake you have. You may have to take that trip to the salvage yard. You'll probably find a few treasures while you're there.
Reverse rotation waterpump, not cooling.
Often the late 80's early 90's 4.3L Astro vans have the old style V-belt routing but the serpentine belt. That is what I used on my 97 Vortec with a new 78 350 waterpump.
If you want the V-belt routing and V-belt pulleys anything from 70-'87 or so should work.
The only problem you may have is the 3 point top alternator bracket may interfere with the intake as some originally mount to the intake.
|Sly's 53 Suburban
|I may be wrong but, I thought they started using a reverse rotation water pump in 1997 when they went to a serpentine setup. I know I can use either water pump depending on what belt system I choose. I'm running the Edelbrock manifold designed for the Vortec heads and an Edelbrock #1406 600 cfm carburetor. My original post is in reference to the brackets. My plan is to purchase a long neck regular rotation water pump. I need brackets from a donor with alternator and A/C pump mounted inside and above valve covers. I was hoping someone here had done this before and would tell me what their donor was, saving me the time scouting wrecking yards to find something to work.
The 1997 5.7 Vortec DOES NOT have reverse cooling. Reverse cooling is used on the LT1, LS1, LS6, 5.3 Vortec, 6.0 Vortec. Like I said in my previous post, an older style water pump will work.
Sly, I used a 5.7 Vortec to build the 383 thats in my Nova. I just used the water pump, pulleys and brackets from the original engine and everything worked perfect. Of course I am running a carb set up, if your keeping the TBI your intake coolant passages may be different.
BUMPSTICK You stated that you didn't believe a regular rotation water pump would fit. It will. That is what I was referring to. The Vortec engine I built the 383 out of didn't have the original water pump on it so I don't know if it was a reverse rotation.
Uh excuse me but a 1997 Vortec does use a reverse rotation water pump...? The have done so since 87 or 88...
Just re-read your post (strokernova) and I think you are referring to the engine rotation (which is the same as always)...? I was talking about the water pump rotation...
Sly... If you look at the block where the water pump bolts on the passenger side holes their is a small hole just below the main hole for the water pump... This is the bypass I am referring to but on the Vortec block it is either not there or is blocked off in the casting... Look at an older block to see for sure and compare it to yours... Also notice the water pump that comes off the Vortec engine is different as it has a bypass line (that connects to the intake like a BBC) and also a heater hose line... But the bypass is a part of the main body of the waterpump...
I think I was possibly misunderstood on the bypass I was meaning...
|The bolt holes in the head are in the same location as the earlier engines. You can also use the older style water pump because the 5.7 is not reverse rotation. Basically you just need to find a donor vehicle and remove all of the brackets and pulleys and you will be good to go.
|Sly's 53 Suburban
|It's my understanding, that I just have to remove the plug in the top of the water pump and run a hose to the front of my intake manifold. The fittings already exist. What concerns me more is, when I looked at the serpentine setup from a 1997, it appeared to be to wide for my engine compartment. I found a set of brackets at Alan Grove Components, but they're $160. Hoping to find OEM pulleys that would work. That way I can pick them up at the wrecking yard. If anyone finds my information to be incorrect, please let me know. Thanks for your reply's.
I dont think the reg rotation water pump will work on the Vortec block...? The bypass on the passenger side is not used on those blocks because of the reverse rotation water flow does not require it...? The reg rotation water pump used this to keep the flow going to the back cylinders and a late Vortec block does not have this hole...
I might be wrong on this but I`m not 100% sure... Although you could tap off the rear intake water crossover and pipe it back into the pump to get proprer circulation possibly...?
Does anyone have link to water flow in a SBC possibly also a BBC...?
|Sly's 53 Suburban
V Belt for 5.7 liter Vortec Block
I built a 5.7 Vortec to install in my 1953 Chevy Suburban. I want to keep my cost as low as possible and custom brackets and pulleys are expensive. Has anyone used original equipment bracket and pulleys, on a late model Chev Small Block with vortec heads? The engine compartment is narrow and tall. I think there must be a V Belt application that will work. Thanks in advance for your help.

The Canisius College women's basketball team used 26-6 run in the first half, combined with 11 3-pointers, to defeat the University of Detroit 77-67 in the Koessler Athletic Center on Friday night. The Golden Griffins open the season with a win for the second consecutive year.
Five Canisius players scored nine or more points in the game, led by a game-high 19 points from senior Jamie Ruttle. Senior Jen Morabito had 13 points, shooting 4-for-6 from behind the arc, while freshman Lauren D'Hont had 12 points in 25 minutes off the bench. Sophomore Tiahana Mills filled out the stat sheet with nine points, eight rebounds and six assists.
"I felt we might be able to get into a battle of shooting 3-pointers with Detroit, and I liked our chances in that matchup. We used a good shooting stretch in the first half to break the game open," Canisius coach Terry Zeh said. "Then I thought we were able to utilize the diversity in our personnel to match up with the different looks Detroit gave us."
Detroit pushed the tempo early in the game, forcing four Canisius turnovers in the opening four minutes and jumping out to a 10-6 lead. Canisius then scored eight straight points, which kickstarted the 26-6 run that allowed the Griffs to take control of the game.
Back-to-back 3-pointers from sophomore Emily Weber and D'Hont, followed by a layup from the freshman, comprised the eight-point run that took just over a minute. The Titans knotted the score at 14-14 before the Griffs scored 18 of the next 20 points. Morabito drained 3-pointers on consecutive possessions to force a Detroit timeout. The senior had another 3-poitner late in the run, which was capped by a jumper from junior Kayla Hoohuli to put Canisius up 32-16.
The Griffs led by nine points at the half and scored five points – a 3-pointer from Ruttle and putback layup from Mills – in the first 60 seconds of the second half to take a 14-point lead and force another Detroit timeout. Canisius would answer each Detroit run in the second half as the Titans cut the lead to seven with 16:18 left but Canisius extended the lead to 12 on a 3-pointer from Hoohuli and pull-up jumper from Ruttle.
Detroit would get as close as six points at 59-53 with 8:21 left, but a 3-pointer from D'Hont, followed by a jumper from Mills, gave Canisius another double-digit lead. The Titans cut it to 72-65 with 1:28 left, but Canisius put the game away with a three-point play from Ruttle with 49 seconds left.
Four Detroit players reached double figures, led by a double-double from Elisha Crosby who had 15 points and 11 rebounds. Canisius held Detroit to 31.4 percent from the floor, including 6-for-31 on 3-pointers.
Canisius heads to Michigan for two games next week, starting with Thursday's contest at No. 20/18 Michigan State. Game time in East Lansing is set for 7 p.m.Notes: Canisius controlled the glass, grabbing 40 defensive rebounds and posting a 74.1 defensive rebounding percentage… Canisius had 21 assists on 27 made baskets… Canisius made 11 3-pointers in two games last season… Griffs defeated the Titans for the third time in the last four meetings… The 12 points from D'Hont gives Canisius a freshman in double figures in the season opener for the second consecutive season and are the most by a freshman in her debut since Micayla Drysdale had 13 points at West Virginia on Nov. 9, 2007… Canisius had eight blocks on the day… The game featured 81 possessions, more than any Canisius game from last season.

Other than your Mom's advice, what make would make you want the 9mm over the .40?
From a features standpoint, the 26 offers one round extra in the magazine than the 27. But is it worth much? From what I was told during my CHL class, most civilian self-defense shootings are over in just a few shots, so the one extra round in the 26 may not be worth much. But then again, there are plenty of people who will take as many rounds as they can.
As for the "stopping power" of the 9mm vs. .40, you should really take some time to read over the material and research that's been done. You'll likely find that "stopping power" is basically a myth. And there is a lot more to the question of effectiveness of a given caliber than the caliber itself: bullet design, loading (i.e. +P, +P+), etc, come into play.
Personally, I carry a 9mm Glock and am comfortable with both the pistol and the round. And my wife may possibly be looking at getting a Glock 26 after she gets her CHL later this year as she wants a pistol and round that she can comfortably handle.
Good luck to you in your search.

Oh god. I don't even know how that happened but I cringed.
Oh god. I don't even know how that happened but I cringed.
I too, am confused on how would that happen, It was not that sharp and a fast run to a door could not penerate the skin that bad. its like that was a heavy door and it closed fast on you.
God, i don't even want to know how bad that feels.
Get well soon.
Knock knock.
Who's there?
Nerve damage.
The thread title was pretty clear about what happened. He was fucking the door handle, and he fell on top of it.
Hngg Oh god that looks painful.
Holy fuck dude.
You never asked for that.
How sharp is that door handle?! Aren't they usually blunt? Holy shit!
Holy shit that is in your arm deep, will you make a full recovery? Can you recover from that nerve damage, and will your bicep be completely functional?
This reminds me of when I was with my friends in the woods when I was younger. There was a fallen tree we were messing around on and I was running from the top of the tree down to the roots. I went to run through a bunch of leaves, little did I know there was a snapped off branch pointing straight at me. I ran straight into it and it left a 4 inch long gash across my chest while clothes lineing me onto my back. Fortunately I didn't break any ribs.
you going to put the door handle back on the door?
Wow the nerve damage is really tough luck. Must hurt 10 times worse than when it didn't hit the nerve too.
Wait, I'm still curious as to how the hell did that get lodged in your arm?
Dude can you move your fingers and stuff?
My worst nightmare is being unable to do any kind of small hobby, like painting, computers, and so on.
Also I like my fingers. I guess you can already tell.
Get well!
I'm going to the doctor today, so I'll post a picture of the wound.
Sounds like your feeling might return to you, but probably not 100%.
I have nerve damage by burning and it seems like it's still getting better although very slowly.
You should ask your doctor how much of your feeling will return.
what the fuck, that looks fucking intense
Will you be able to masturbate with that arm? If not, then I'm very sorry for the loss, son.
Holy shit that looks like it was extremely painful.
What the fuck they ripped your nice polo shirt!
Get well soon kid.
My dad ran into a (blunt) door handle too when he was young.
It impaled his shoulder.
At least you don't have it bad as this cat
(User was banned for this post ("Don't image tag NSFW images" - Craptasket))
"Man, I'll get so many heart ratings for this!"
Door handles
What is this. I dont even...
I mean a door handle, you couldn't penetrate something if you tried!
Hope you get better soon, and the numb finger might turn out to be a blessing.
I actually had to come back to this thread to inspect that wound again. The first time I looked at it I guess it didn't really strike me what the issue was (I'm not very observant lol).
Holy shit mate, that's terrible. I've broken bones before, but I've never had something like that happen. I hope you don't have permanent nerve damage, or at least not debilitating nerve damage.
It could be worse. I knew someone who severed all the nerves in the palm in her hand. She couldn't use her hand properly for just over a year. Basically a year off work, watching Jeremy Kyle and living off insurance payments. That's insufferable!
Anyway, enjoy your microsurgery.
Impale the door with the handle
See how it likes that.
did you dick around with the door handle when it was in your arm
if I was high on painkillers that's what I would've done. I'm a terrible patient.
I wouldn't be able to handle the pain

Hi friends,
I am from Philippines and recently, South Koreans went to our country to study English because they found cheaper here.
I am a Licensed Teacher by profession, and a graduate of BS in Industrial Education.
I am teaching English for Koreans part time but recently I feel, I need a TEFL certificate.
I want to ask you guys which online company/website that offers the cheapest yet effective TEFL course. I cannot go to study offline due to my schedule. We have a local school here in Cebu City, partly owned by British but the tuition fee is terrible.
Hope you can help.
Thanks a lot,

Just about everything you can do in spring & summer can also done here in the fall. The only difference is that the temperature is falling, just like the leaves...
But before they drop, nature puts on a most impressive display of brilliant red, vibrant yellow & blazing orange. Here are some suggestions for activities to enjoy while gazing at this burst of color:
Fall foliage season is a magical time in Vermont, and some of the most brilliant colors you'll ever see will be found along the scenic Mad River Byway, which includes Vermont Routes 100, 100B & 17. A drive along these two-lanes & surrounding country roads can be the leaf peeping experience of a lifetime! When is "peak foliage"? That changes from year to year and is based upon many factors. Generally though, it starts in the north and works its way south. It also starts at elevation and works its way down to the valley floors. Driving tours are easily planned, so let us help you map out a route once you're here. That way, you'll have the latest foliage reports to make your tour a "peak" experience. Some additional resources you may find of interest:
Both Sugarbush Resort & Mad River Glen offer chairlift rides during foliage season. For details on schedules & pricing, go to their websites:
Cycling enthusiasts of every sort will be pleasantly surprised & challenged by what the Mad River Valley has to offer. An expansive network of singletrack will appeal to the mountain biker, while road cyclists will appreciate the many miles of paved, lightly-trafficked blacktop. Our back roads, best enjoyed on hybrids, can be paved, gravel or dirt and offer some of the most amazing scenery you'll experience anywhere.
The Green Mountains offer numerous hiking options, from gently rolling meadow trails to steep mountain climbs. The most popular hike is The Long Trail, which runs along the spine of the Green Mountains. It is easily reached from trailheads, with parking facilities, at both Lincoln Gap & Appalachian Gap. With advance notice, we can coordinate transportation to these trailheads from Weathertop Mountain Inn. There are many maintained trails throughout the Mad River Valley, including the Mill Brook Trail which runs directly behind the inn. Hiking is one of our favorite local pastimes. We would be happy to share some of our favorite trails with you. Additional resources include:
The Mad River, White River, Winooski River & Waterbury Reservoir all offer great opportunities for kayaking & canoeing. Equipment rental & guided trips are available locally. These rivers & their tributaries are also home to some of the finest fly fishing in New England. Native brookies, wild brown & rainbow trout are plentiful. Additional resources include:
The closest course to Weathertop Mountain Inn is the Sugarbush Golf Club, a Robert Trent Jones, Sr. masterpiece described by Golf Digest as "the essence of a mountain course." Jones' legendary course design talent is apparent on every one of the 18 holes at Sugarbush Golf Club. Designed with respect for the natural setting and its breathtaking vistas, this par-71 course is a stunning beauty. Other courses within an hour drive include:
Looking for a new way to experience the Green Mountains? Try your skills at disc golf on one of two courses located at Sugarbush's Lincoln Peak Village. Ride up the chairlift for a downhill match, or play the rolling terrain of the base course. Single day & season passes are available. Click here for more details.
You can also experience the thrill & excitement of a zipline at Lincoln Peak Village, where you "fly" 800 feet from Valley House Lodge to the landing pad at Gate House Lodge! Click here for details.
For another soaring experience, become an acrobat on the bungee trampoline, also at Lincoln Peak. Click here for details.
The Mad River Valley is one of the most beautiful places in America for scenic glider rides. The views of Lake Champlain, Camel's Hump & Mt. Mansfield with the Mad River Valley below are truly spectacular. Contact Sugarbush Soaring for scenic rides, introductory flights, rentals & instructional programs.
The Waitsfield Farmers' Market is a not-to-be-missed event, held Saturday mornings on the Mad River Green, from May through October. In addition to local farmers, you'll find local artisans, prepared foods of every ethnicity & live entertainment. The market is pet friendly, as long as your dog is well-behaved & leashed (a bandana is optional, but highly recommended...). This is a great place to "meet the locals".

I purchased a Kahr CW45 in early October of this year. After putting 40-45 rounds through it, I disassembled and cleaned it after returning from the range. After reassembly and attempting a functionality check, I could not pull the slide to the rear. I noticed there was a bigger gap between the front of the slide and the frame, than between the rear of the slide and the frame. When I pushed down slightly on the muzzle end of the slide I was able to rack it. After closer inspection I determined the two lower frame rails in the front of the frame do not extend far enough to engage the grooves in the guide rod lug on the slide. With the slide all the way forward I can lift up slightly on the slide. If I push down on the muzzle end of the slide and pull the slide back (less than 1/16th of an inch) the slide racks normally, there is an even frame/slide gap and I can't lift the slide away from the frame. I have a CW40 also and I can't lift the slide away from the frame and the frame/slide gap is even along the length of the slide with the slide full forward.
I've contacted Kahr via their website twice for a Return Authorization (RA) and have not received a reply, after waiting a week between each submission. Has anyone else had this same issue?? I'm getting frustrated with Kahr's lack of correspondence/customer service. Disappointing to say the least.

Just noticed the Introductions forum :lol
Well I am still fairly new, about 2 months now. My name is Tony Piccolo and I am a member of the 501st Legion on duty with Garrison Carida serving PA, WV and DE. I am in the legion with a Biker Scout, Imperial Gunner and Crewman and I'm working on my ROTJ Fett. I've been a Star Wars fan for about 12 years and have been a costumer and prop maker for about 5 years. My Fett will be a slow build as many are as I take my time to make sure I'm happy with each piece I select. I currently only have my cape, girth belt and chest armor and now I'm looking at working on some soft parts. I've found TDH a very good home for my needs thus far and wish to continue to contribute my costuming knowledge to the community as well as learning more and more from everyone else. Thanks for reading

What is your dream gun? I am not talking about some Class 3 gun you will never have a chance at buying (if that were the case, I'd want a P90).
I am referring to a gun that you COULD buy, if you just had the funds for it. What would it be?
I really like the Bilenium, but that's an aweful lot of money to spend on a Beretta. And, if I had one, I would never shoot it.
Right now, though, I really want a Nighthawk 1911 - about a $2200 pistol.
What do you really want?

Can I just drop a Tapco G2 single hook FCG into my 7.62 x 39 Saiga?
Or do I need more parts than what comes with the Tapco kit.
Also are there any cheaper solutions (USA made) FCG's?
Last question... can I swap out a regular AK's mag-catch unit and handquard for the Saiga's mag-catch and handguard?
I don't care about 922'r--don't go there please. I got the stuff already (furniture, piston, etc.).

Saturday, June 9
By Nick Ames in Kharkiv
Robin van Persie and his 'chocolate leg' look in formidable shape ahead of this evening's Group B opener between Holland and Denmark.
Arsenal's captain famously likened his weaker foot to an item of confectionery a few years back, but he could be seen evoking the spirit of Marco van Basten during yesterday evening's training session with a couple of thudding volleys on his right-hand side.
The Netherlands, third favourites for the tournament, looked sharp and relaxed at the impressive Metalist Stadium. Robin limbered up between Dirk Kuyt and close friend Ibrahim Afellay, joining his team-mates in a number of quick-passing drills before pairing with Arjen Robben as the full backs whipped in crosses for the Dutch attackers.
One airborne backheel into the top corner from Wesley Sneijder provoked applause from players and media alike, while accurate balls from 18-year-old left-back Jetro Willems – favourite to start in that position today - drew appreciation from his team-mates and coaching staff.
Manager Bert van Marwijk was giving little away regarding his line-up for tonight – fielding Robin in an unlikely attacking trio with Kuyt and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar for the 20-minute match that wrapped up proceedings.
His press conference prior to the session hadn't yielded much either. Just nine minutes long, it came a day after suggestions that some of his players had been subjected to racist chanting from onlookers during an open training event in Poland. Neither he nor captain Marc van Bommel were in the mood to be particularly expansive in front of a soundbite-hungry media corps – as their press officer had suggested in advance.
Denmark boss Morten Olsen had been more willing to chat an hour or two previously – he'd even prepared an address before any questions were fielded, telling journalists that "If we get through this group we have already won".
A practiced talker, he gave wittily sarcastic shrift to a few negatively-slanted enquiries from the Danish press and played a straight bat when I asked him about the benefits of a fit and firing Nicklas Bendtner – who struggled with injury during the 2010 World Cup.
"At the World Cup he was injured and we had problems in that position," Olsen replied. "Now he's in very good shape and had a very good training camp. Physically he is 100 per cent so hopefully he will reach his top level in tomorrow's game."
Bendtner has a fine record for Denmark, with 48 caps bringing 18 goals. He and the brilliant Ajax schemer Christian Eriksen - whose fitness is in some doubt – are the talismen on whom their country's hopes rest over the coming weeks.
Both of today's Arsenal representatives will do well to emulate Andrey Arshavin's influential showing for Russia against Tomas Rosicky's Czech Republic last night, which I watched in Kharkiv's Fan Park. The city's main square transformed into a sea of Russian support for the evening - and the atmosphere will surely grow if Arshavin, Alan Dzagoev and company keep turning on the style.
Now I'm off into the city centre to gauge the mood among the mass of Dutch fans that grew visibly during a day spent in and around the stadium. I think they'll be happy tonight. The Netherlands began the World Cup with a hard-fought 2-0 win over today's opposition and it's easy to imagine a similar situation this time around.
And if Robin bags one with his right foot, you know where you got the tip-off.

Maine named NL Pitcher of the Month
Maine named NL Pitcher of the Month
Thanks in large part to John Maine, that question has been answered. Maine earned NL Pitcher of the Month honors on Wednesday after finishing April with a perfect 4-0 record. The 25-year-old leads the Major Leagues with a 1.35 ERA, allowing just five earned runs in 33 1/3 innings.
It was an impressive start to the season, but Maine isn't about to let the early success go to his head, because he knows it's going to be a long season.
"I've still got a lot of stuff to work on," Maine said. "I'm pleased, [but] I've got five more months. I've just got to keep it going. I've got to worry about May now."
Maine becomes the first Mets hurler to win the monthly award since Al Leiter in June 2000. Maine was 6-5 with a 3.60 ERA in the 2006 regular season and pitched even better in the playoffs, going 1-0 with a 2.64 ERA in three starts.
"After what we saw [from Maine] in the playoffs ... a lot of us aren't that shocked," said Mets closer Billy Wagner. "He's got that ability."
One of the things Maine attributes for his hot start has been his ability to pitch late into games. Maine is averaging 6 2/3 innings per start so far this season.
"I'm learning to [stay in games] longer," Maine said. "I think I threw too many fastballs last year. Too many were getting fouled off and running up my pitch count. Now I'm in better shape and throwing better pitches. I think I get six more batters per game. If I'm still throwing well, that's two more innings. That really helps."
On Wednesday, Maine and Jose Reyes became the first Mets teammates to win the Player and Pitcher of the Month awards since Dwight Gooden and Gary Carter in September 1985.
Other pitchers who received votes were Atlanta's Tim Hudson, who went 3-0 with a 1.40 ERA, and San Diego's Jake Peavy, who went 3-1 with a 2.06 ERA and 46 strikeouts.
