Note: This post was first published a couple of years ago.
My husband forgot about the first Valentine's Day after our marriage.
I didn't get so much as a card.
That was what you might call a mistake on his part; one he has learned not to repeat.
The reason he's learned this is because I told him. I didn't go home from work that day (I was in the legislature at the time) and hit him with my purse. But I did tell him. And the next Valentine's Day, I told him in advance.
Which leads me to half my point.
Women, if you want a happy marriage, do not assume that your husband understands what you want. Based on decades of happy marriage to the one and only love of my life, I can tell you that he does not.
He. Doesn't. Have. A. Clue.
I grew up with an involved father-in-residence and then married another y chromosome type person and have lived out the rest of my life since then with him. This experience has led me to form a theory about the male brain.
It doesn't think like ours.
From what I can tell, the male of the human species thinks that if he makes sure you go to sleep in a warm bed under a roof that doesn't leak after eating three square meals and that every man around knows that insulting you will get him in a fight, well then, that's love. And you should know it.
If he comes home at night and doesn't dally with other women, if he would rather cut his arm off than raise a hand to you, if he provides for, protects and cossets you, he thinks he's done everything any woman with half a brain could possibly want. He's finished. Done. Through. In his mind, he's got that good husband stuff handled and now it's time to get a brewski and plop down in front of the television for some football.
You, on the other hand, need to be told that he loves you. You think that all this protecting, providing, cosseting stuff is just a sort of baseline that any decent person would do. You don't want a bag of groceries … or … well … you do want a bag of groceries, but you want something that feeds your heart as well as your stomach. You want affection. And you want a few complimentary words thrown in with the affection.
The trouble is, he'll never know this if you don't tell him. In fact, if your way of telling him is to go off and throw a hissy fit and cry and slam doors and answer "Nothing!" when he asks you what's wrong, he'll never figure it out. Nothing comes of that kind of behavior except a husband who is convinced he's married someone who has mental problems, and a wife who honestly thinks her husband does not love her and that she's probably unattractive to him to boot.
So, the first half of the point I'm making is, wives, talk to your husbands. Tell him what you want. I don't mean yell at him and demand what you want. Just … tell him. Be specific. If you want him to take you out to dinner, say so. If you want a box of chocolates, say that. Do not make him try to figure it out. He won't. Because he can't. His brain doesn't think like yours.
After you've told him, let it go until the next Valentine's Day or whatever it is you were telling him about rolls around again. Then, gently, gently remind him. As the big day comes into view (be it your birthday, your anniversary, Valentine's Day or whatever) start reminding him a few weeks out. You don't have to make an issue of it. In fact, you shouldn't make an issue of it. Just use your knowledge of him and your relationship to go about the business of reminding him in the gentlest way possible. If you don't remind him, he won't remember. Not, mind you, because he doesn't love you, but because he's a man, and their brains don't think the same way ours do.
Which leads to the second half of my point.
Men, if you want a happy marriage, listen to your wife. When your wife tells you and reminds you, that means she's handed you the ball and you need to run with it.
Do not quibble about this. Listen to your wife. Go forth and buy chocolates, or make dinner reservations or whatever. It does not matter that you just rotated the tires on her car and filled it up with gas. If she wants dinner and a movie, give her dinner and a movie. And for pete's sake, tell her she's pretty. Stand in front of your bathroom mirror with the door locked and practice if you have to, but say it.
Wives, talk to your husbands. Husbands, listen to your wives.
And while you're at it, forgive one another for the subtle differences between the sexes that make this post necessary. There's a reason God made us like this. When husbands and wives cooperate with one another this way, love between them grows. Our differences, which can drive us apart if we are stupid about them, can also meld us together for life.
Now, husbands and wives, start talking and listening. Your lives and your family will be the better for it.
Happy Valentine's Day!

Four foreign activists challenged the Chinese government by unfurling pro-Tibet banners and spoke out against the abuse of human rights in China. No arrests were made for the unusual display of dissent in the rigid regime of China although the four people were quietly led away by members of the security force. Sun Wede, spokesman for the Beijing Olympics committee, expressed "strong opposition" and hoped "foreigners will respect the related Chinese laws and regulations." The International Olympic Committee said the Chinese government should expect people to "use the platform of the Olympic Games to draw attention to their causes" and urged Chinese authorities to use "tact and understanding.
Last Wednesday, three Americans spent almost an hour in Tiananmen Square speaking out against Chinese policy on many issues and then set up a banner in the square that said, "Christ is King." Beijing has announced there were designated areas in which to hold protests but so far no one is using those places to express their views. The bottom line is a few people have expressed their views, the Olympic Games will proceed, and the government of China will continue existing.

text: I purchased this wood recently and have used it for about 1 week. Total time was about 3 driving range days and 54 holes. I am a fairly new high handicap player and this wood has a great feel and sound. Off a low tee I can drive within 10 yards of my driver (Cobra LV4). Off the fairway for a second shot, it was one of the easiest swinging clubs that lead to long straight shots with a good roll. The cleveland launcher is a great fairway wood for a very good price.

Band of brothers
By Patty Kruszewski, Citizen Managing Editor 05/21/12
Rocky Marrin spent 30 years of his life on a spending spree. Now he's on a mission not only to return the goods, but to help others avoid his buyer's remorse.
"I was buying what the world was selling," Marrin said of the three-decade period when his world revolved around climbing the corporate ladder, owning a nice home and cars, and seeking enjoyment in "drinking buddies, golf, sports, and women."
Yes, he went to church once a week, Marrin said; but all he had to show at the end of those 30 years was "a broken marriage, hurt and angry children, and a ton of confusion in every other area of my life."
In February 2010, after eight years in a men's Bible study, Marrin's prayers about a group that would help others avoid his mistakes evolved into a vision, and he founded White Hot Ministries. The fledgling organization works with both adult men and high school seniors in weekly study sessions in which members, using scripture as a guide, discuss feelings such as insecurity, pride, and fear, and topics such as addictions, dating and marriage.
On May 5, several Deep Run High School seniors attended the GodStrong Men spring breakfast at The Place at Innsbrook, and testified to the impact that their study group, known as the Varsity Warriors, has had on their lives.
Nothing to show for it
At the breakfast, the students heard from Pastor Calvin Duncan, who played basketball for Virginia Commonwealth University and later passed up a promising career in the NBA to join Athletes in Action, a Christian traveling team and sports ministry.
Now the pastor at Faith & Family Church in Richmond, Duncan told the crowd at the breakfast that if not for a woman on Grace Street who shared the gospel with him while he was at VCU, he might have chosen a different path.
Raised by an aunt with a sixth grade education after his mother died in childbirth, Duncan called himself a "typical inner city kid. I loved basketball; I didn't value education." In his junior year of high school, he dated a girl whose mother was a drug dealer, so he was always around gangsters and drugs.
But his aunt made him go to church, and basketball got him out of the inner city (although after a placement test pegged him at a fourth grade reading level, he had to detour to Oak Hill Academy on his way to VCU).
Duncan told the audience that he has never regretted his decision to pass up the pros, and quoted an observer who said, "Calvin turned out better than all these guys who played in the NBA, made millions of dollars, and have nothing to show for it."
"The Lord is our coach," Duncan told the crowd, comparing the Bible to the play books he once used in basketball. "You have to know the plays if you want to be successful in the game of life.
"I once was recruited to play basketball. Now I recruit sinners to be saved."
Sharing faith
Duncan was one of many speakers who have inspired the DRHS students at group get-togethers throughout the year, said Tom Bostwick, citing among other favorites Buddy Childress of Needle's Eye Ministries and Bill Janis, former Virginia delegate.
"I really look forward to [the weekly meetings]," said Bostwick. "The fellowship together, sharing problems, and having people help you with it."
"It's awesome to hear the different ways people come to God, and the different paths they take," said Colin Bennett, one of the students who helped Marrin recruit seniors for the study group. "They've all had different journeys, but they're all on the same path now."
Like Marrin, and his classmate Max Huntley, Bennett is a member at Shady Grove United Methodist Church. So once Marrin's plan for Varsity Warriors had taken shape, he was quick to approach Bennett and Huntley for help with recruitment.
"You don't find a lot of guys 17 or 18 years old who are willing to step out and share their faith," Marrin told the crowd at the breakfast, adding that he originally hoped for 12 students to sign on, and perhaps eight to attend regularly.
But some 16 seniors, on average, have attended the meetings at Marrin's home -- and are now recruiting juniors to form next year's group. Although all are students at DRHS, they hail from seven different churches.
The men also take turns leading the weekly lesson and "wrapping Scripture around it," said Marrin. "I haven't led a lesson since the second week in December."
Roots-up growth
Although all of the Varsity Warriors attend the same high school, they vary greatly in their interests and activities outside of the group.
Bostwick plays lacrosse and will head to DePaul in the fall to study history. Tyler Howell works at Chick-Fil-A and will study business at James Madison University. Jason Puckett, a basketball player, will study business at Virginia Tech, and Bennett, who works at Chick-Fil-A, will attend University of Maryland. A member of the golf team, Huntley works at Daylight Donuts and will major in global affairs at George Mason University.
But all of the seniors agree on one thing: Varsity Warriors has brought them closer, and has helped prepare them to make better choices in life.
"As we're maturing, we're learning," said Jacob Butler. "It's a good combination to make good decisions."
"I feel like I take time to think before I do things, and I pray over things more," agreed Howell, adding that he feels "refreshed" after leaving Varsity Warriors meetings. "It's a support system."
"It's helped me with stress, and school work, and managing time," said Brooks Ohman. "And it's helped me grow very close to my friends."
As Huntley pointed out, "We were all friends before, but we've gotten closer friends, through God and religion."
Studying scripture together builds tighter bonds than those of a typical friendship, agreed Bennett. "When you come together through Christ, it's not a superficial growth," he said. "It's more roots-up --- a stronger, sturdy growth."
Lofty goals
Although Marrin has already looked into establishing Varsity Warrior groups in other high schools and cities, and many of the students plan to form groups at their colleges, his vision for the organization is considerably more ambitious.
"We want to take this," he told the breakfast audience, "to every high school in the country."
Marrin and his wife, Leslie (who cooks for the senior men and talks to them about prom night and dating topics), also hope to expand the groups to include women. Leslie is organizing a senior girls study group, and the couple is actively seeking leaders to help spread groups of both genders to other high school campuses.
But even in its infancy, Varsity Warriors has had a tremendous impact on 16 lives already.
"When Colin and Max came to me [about Varsity Warriors]," Bostwick said, "I had no idea what I was getting into. I went to church every week and thought my faith was pretty strong. Now we've all grown together, and I'm so thankful. Varsity Warriors is a big part of my life."
Being a high school senior, Bennett mused, he knows a lot of people -- most of whom will not be a part of his life for much longer. But because of Varsity Warriors, Bennett said, "There are 15 people my age that I know I'll be friends with my whole life. Because when you share your faith, it's a good foundation."
As Howell addressed the crowd, he noted that Varsity Warriors has helped him overcome a number of fears -- including the fear of public speaking that he had to overcome to get up on stage.
"[Varsity Warriors] has been a steadfast rock in my life when so many things are flying by," Howell said, adding that even when he was away from the group, the support of other members felt like "a backpack of friends and family" on his back.
"I will miss Mondays with Varsity Warriors -- and Leslie's cooking," Howell concluded with a smile.
"We truly became a family this year."

I have recently been looking at entry level teaching jobs in China and am wondering if some of the job offers are too good to be true with the stories of fake jobs going around. I have a BA Degree from a British University and a some experience of staff training.
I cannot believe that this is enough experience to land a english teaching job in China. I do not think that a weekend tefl course would make me much more prepared but the longer courses are very expensive so if possible i would like to get out there and start getting teaching experience with as little cost as possible.
so the ads saying come and teach at ............ university somewhere in china sound great. I received a email response saying they are interested in me and I just need to email back scans of my passport a photo and my degree certificate. I cant believe its that easy! Too good to be true i thought and had trouble finding anything online about the establishment. Is this a common scam or am i just being paranoid? I'm not sure what anyone would want to do with a copy of my passport a photo and degree cert but don't really want to email it off to what seems to be just a chinese based yahoo account either. Am I kidding myself that there is a easier and cheaper way of getting a teaching job than spending several grand on a proper tefl course?

Potteries' pastes, which were given shape at paddle wheels by expert potters, were prepared by using very well sieved clay and sometimes by using additive small piece of sand. Slip, which were usually red and tones of red, were applied before drying in the kiln. The other operation that was realized before the stage of drying in the kiln was burnishing.

Marquette's First Visit to Green Bay Set for Wednesday
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay men's basketball team welcomes Marquette to Green Bay for the first time in 12 all-time meetings between the two programs on Wednesday night, as the Phoenix continues a four-game homestand at the Resch Center with a 7:06 p.m. tip-off against the Golden Eagles. Green Bay head coach Brian Wardle knows the Golden Eagles well, having starred for Marquette from 1997-2001 and graduated from the university in 2001.
In conjunction with the game, the first 4,000 fans will receive a Phoenix Swirler Flag presented by Nicolet National Bank. To purchase tickets for the game, please call 920.465.2625, visit the athletics department offices in the Kress Events Center or the Resch Center box office, or access GreenBayPhoenix.com/tickets.
Marquette is 9-2 all-time against the Phoenix, with each of the first 11 meetings being played in Milwaukee. The programs did not meet from 1997-2009 before playing at the Bradley Center in each of the past two seasons. In last season's 79-61 Marquette victory, Green Bay's Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) had 22 points, 14 rebounds and five blocked shots.
Guards Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) and Vander Blue are leading their respective teams in scoring as Sykes leads the Phoenix averaging 16.4 points per game and Marquette's Blue is scoring at a 13.5 points per game clip.
FOLLOW THE PHOENIX: Fans in the seats or those unable to attend Wednesday's game will be able to follow the action in numerous ways on Wednesday night. The game will be carried live by WDUZ The Fan 107.5 FM/1400 AM and online at thefan1075.com. The play-by-play voice of the Phoenix Matt Menzl will be on the call with Cordero Barkley. Live stats and live video will be available on GreenBayPhoenix.com. You can also stay up-to-date by following @GBPhoenixMBB and @GBGavin on Twitter. Outside of the Green Bay market, the game will be televised live by Time Warner Cable Sports32 with Chris Roth (play-by-play) and Jeff Nordgaard (analyst) on the call.
1. ROLLING AT THE RESCH: Sykes, whose 22-point effort against Southern Illinois led all scorers, has been incredible in Green Bay's three home games this season. Sykes has scored 74 points in a trio of games at the Resch Center. The Chicago native is shooting 50 percent from the field (20-40) and 88.9 percent (32-36) from the free-throw line at home.
2. FAMILIAR FOE: In his playing days at Marquette, Wardle put together one of the most consistent careers of any player in program history. Wardle is still the seventh-leading scorer in Marquette history with 1,690 career points. Suiting up from 1997-2001, Wardle led the team in scoring three times, and his career scoring average of 14.4 points per game is the fourth-best all-time among Marquette four-year players.
3. CHARITY CASE: Throughout the season, Green Bay has been solid not only getting to the free-throw line but converting its opportunities. The Phoenix has made 41 more free throws than its opponents and leads the Horizon League in free throws made (180) and free-throw percentage (76.9%). Having not missed this season (21-21), junior Kam Cerroni (Sussex, Wis.) leads the Horizon League in free-throw percentage and has a current streak of 36 consecutive free throws made.
• INSIDE THE SERIES: Green Bay and Marquette have met 11 times previously, with the Golden Eagles holding a 9-2 series edge. The first nine meetings between the two programs took place between 1982 and 1996, with Green Bay failing to score more than 50 points in any of the contests. Marquette won the meetings in the past two seasons 89-69 and 79-61.
• HOME SWEET HOME: Despite dropping a close game last Saturday to Southern Illinois (72-70), Green Bay has been highly success at the Resch Center over the course of the past three seasons. The Phoenix is 24-7 since the start of 2010-11, and including the setback to SIU, Green Bay has lost only two non-conference home games during that stretch (11-2). Since the beginning of last season, the Phoenix is 14-3 at the Resch.
• HOME FREE: Led by Cerroni's perfection, the charity stripe has been kind to the Phoenix this season as the team is 16th nationally in free throw percentage. Green Bay has been especially efficient at the line at the Resch Center, shooting 82.4 percent (84-102) from the line and making twice as many free throws as its opponents (84-42). Cerroni is a perfect 12-of-12 from the stripe while Sykes has connected on 32-for-36 from the line at the Resch Center.
• 500 CLUB: Sykes will be playing his 41st game but is already just one point shy of 500 points. The sophomore's 499 points in 40 games give him a career average of 12.5 points per game.
• FAST START FOR THE FROSH: Wardle started a true freshman in the opener for the third-straight season, and freshman Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.) has made it look like a great decision through 10 games. The 6-foot-7 Fouse is averaging 5.2 points per game and leads the team in rebounds (7.1), steals (1.1) and blocks (1.1). He has led the team in rebounding in six times.
• TAKING ADVANTAGE: Despite foul trouble limiting him to only 17 minutes, sophomore Greg Mays (Chicago, Ill.) took advantage of making his first start on Saturday. The Chicagoan made all three of his field goal attempts and both of his free throws and added three rebounds and a pair of blocked shots. Mays is averaging just 14.6 minutes per game this season but has turned his minutes into 49 points, 31 rebounds and five blocked shots. Per 40 minutes, Mays is averaging 13.4 points and 8.5 rebounds per contest.
• SECOND CHANCES: Green Bay has hit the offensive glass extremely hard this season, grabbing 28 more offensive rebounds than its opponents. Led by Fouse's 23, Green Bay has four different players with 10 or more offensive rebounds (Brown-22, Cougill-20, Mays-14). The Phoenix corralled 11 at Wisconsin and 10 against Southern Illinois and has tallied 10 or more offensive rebounds in eight of 10 games this season. The offensive rebounds have turned into a 118-94 edge in second chance points.
• OLD FOR 18: Sykes started his career at the age of 17 before turning 18 on Dec. 30, 2011. Sykes will play his last two games as an 18-year old this week against Marquette and South Dakota. Eighteen of his top accomplishments in 27 games as an 18-year old include:

2014-15 #PhlashForward: More Block Parties
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – In his four-year career at Green Bay, Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) rewrote the Phoenix record books for blocked shots. He broke the career record during his sophomore season and swatted 309 shots by the end of his senior year, when he also broke his own single-season record with 94 rejections. Brown holds the top-four single-season totals and seven of the top-12 single-game marks.
During Brown's career, Green Bay broke the team blocks record in four-straight years, including in 2013-14 when the Phoenix swatted a Horizon League record 223 shots and ranked second in the country in blocks per game (7.2).
So with Brown departed and his sights set on blocking his next shot in the NBA, will the Phoenix defense stop turning away its opponents' shots at the rim? Not so fast.
The 2014-15 roster includes 212 career rejections, including 97 from two-time Horizon League All-Defensive Team selection Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.). In two seasons, Fouse already ranks fifth all-time in school history, and his 49 blocks in 2012-13 and 48 in 2013-14 rank fifth and sixth in program history behind only Brown's four season totals.
Greg Mays (Chicago, Ill.) also ranks in the top-10 in rejections as he will enter his senior year with 60, good enough for ninth all-time. The 6-foot-9 forward swatted a career-best 31 shots last season.
Despite playing just 16.1 minutes per game, Kenneth Lowe (Little Chute, Wis.) blocked 28 shots in his freshman season. That total ranks fourth among all freshmen in program history, and could balloon if Lowe's minutes increase significantly.
6-foot-8 senior Alfonzo McKinnie (Chicago, Ill.) and 6-foot-11 sophomore newcomer Henry Uwadiae (Benin City, Nigeria) could also prove to be viable shot blockers next season.
Replacing Brown's presence in the paint will not be easy, and breaking the single-season blocks record again may be unlikely, but expect opponents to still think twice when driving the lane in 2014-15.IN 2014-15…
Sykes is the reigning Horizon League Player of the Year after averaging 20.3 points, 4.9 assists and 4.4 rebounds per game as a junior. Mays was a double-digit scorer at 10.3 points per game and shot 58.6 percent from the field, and Fouse is a two-time Horizon League All-Defensive Team selection with a career rebounding average of 7.7.
Wardle, the 2014 Horizon League Coach of the Year, enters his fifth season at the helm of the program with a 71-56 overall record. He is slated to welcome back his entire coaching staff, including associate head coach Brian Barone, assistant coaches Chrys Cornelius and Jimmie Foster, director of basketball operations Colin Schneider and video coordinator Rick Karius.

The Droid had a great feeling trigger, a very smooth shot, and had the best ergonomics of any marker I've felt. My Automag has a smooth shot, very simple maintenance, is the lightest marker I've felt.
The downsides of Droid was that it was a very complex marker internally. Close to two dozen orings, many different pieces of the engine, and needed to be aligned perfectly in the body. The Mag is a great gun, but suffers from extreme gas inefficiency. It also doesn't help that the only tank I have that outputs that high is my 45/45, but admittedly, that's just me nitpicking.
I traded my NT for the Axe, and immediately knew that I would like this gun.
Exterior finish:
The marker I was holding was the "Earth" color, meaning it was the olive drab/brown. Its a nice dust finish, and really doesn't look as gaudy as it does in some of the online photos.
Spacing and ergonomics:
-The next thing I noticed was how nice it felt. Empire has gotten away from the tiny spacing of the Mini. The Axe now has a comfortable amount of room between the trigger guard and foregrip. I am able to completely wrap my thumb inside the guard and not hamper myself when walking the trigger.
-The frame has a nice set of wrap-around grips. This is a nice improvement from the flat panel grips that many manufactures have stock.
-Another interesting feature is how the trigger guard itself is shaped. For semi-auto play, you can easily rest two fingers below the guard and walk the trigger. For PSP, or when you need to reload, I can comfortably fit three fingers below, and finger the trigger with just my index finger. While I don't see myself playing tournaments, any woodsballer who wants a gun with a 3-round-burst would find this very comforting.
-The trigger itself feels great. It has a microswitch activation point, and is has four points of adjustablility. Pre-travel up top, post-travel in the center, a magnet return, and inside the grip is the microswitch activation point adjustment. That magnet upgrade cost me $30 to put it in my NT, so that's a nice touch in a gun that's 1/3 of the cost. I've noticed no side-to-side play in the trigger at all.
All I can say is this marker feels amazing in the hands.
General Maintenance:
-This marker is a beauty when it comes to cleaning it. You can definitely see the inspiration from the Automag in the Axe's engine. You push one button on the side, which depresses a ball bearing, and maneuver the engine out the back. Very similar to the mag.
-The bolt itself is very mini-esque. However, there is a new addition to the bolt. On the front of the bolt is a soft rubber piece. If anyone has experience with Bob Long's Pillow bolt, it feels to be the same material. That said, it seems much more well constructed and won't fly off the tip after 20-30 cases. There is one large spring (similar to the automag) that will return the bolt back to the resting position. The spring is conical, so it will only fit back on the right way.
-The engine is one large section with the orings on top of it. About as close to idiot-proof as you can get. Unlike the Marq engine, you won't have to worry about putting it in upside down and blocking the air transfer holes. After you're done lubing it, just guide it in with the notch on the body.
-Empire also gives you a nice little tool kit to go along with the Axe. Its got all the allen keys you need to open up the Axe. It also contains lube, orings, screws, and spare detents. Finally, a manufacturer figured out that screws get stripped and need to be replaced! :bowdown
-Velocity is adjusted through the back, and is very straightforward.
-The Empire Relay ASA is a breeze. Screw in tank, flip lever. Flip the lever back to degas, and you're done. No more struggling with a stuck tank in the ASA. Mini owners can rejoice!
Okay, I like the Axe. I really like the Axe, except for two details.
The Eyes:
-The eyes are sunk into the Axe's breech. I believe they're located on an upper board inside of the body. If you break paint inside of the breech and need to clean your eyes, you may be in trouble. TechPB Mike offered the quick tip of using Air In A Can to quickly blast obstructions from your eyelet holes. I might be picking up a can, just in case. You may also be able to clear them out by running a swab through the breech through the back of the body. I haven't broken paint in there yet, so I have yet to find out.
The feedneck:
-This is more of a irksome annoyance than a serious issue. I tried putting my Rotor and my Pinokio into the Axe's feedneck. While both fit, its a very tight fit, and are an absolute pain in the :censored: to get back out. When the feedneck screw isn't in tightened, it rattles around and could easily back itself out.
Overall, I have fallen in love with this gun. Its simple, its effective, it feels great, and it has everything a gun should have. I can't wait to take this onto the field and exhaustively test her out.
I will soon be creating a Pictorial Maintenance Thread for the Empire Axe
Standard Toolkit:
Empire Axe Engine:
Notes from other users:
From Festa, on MCB:
I would like to add a caveat about the screws on the gun. I'm not sure if they come this way from the factory, or if it was because of the dust finish on the gun, but several of the screws on the gun managed to work themselves loose after shooting the gun for a bit. The foregrip screws and both the detent screws worked themselves loose and had I not noticed it as quickly as I did I would have lost my detent covers. So, a word from the wise: put a drop of blue Loctite on all your screws.
From Flau, on MCB:
I use Q tip to clean the eyes. They can be reached from the feedneck.
A Note from Simon Manike
If [the ASA] is loose please don't just tighten the screws from the side. Some of the guns came from the factory with the top screws set a little too high.
The best way to resolve it, is to take them out and blue loctite them (all new guns should have loctite on, but again, some from the first runs didn't).
1) Take off the grips.
2) Back out the side screws completely.
3) Take the rail mount, and adjust the screws down from the top (adding a little blue loctite to them) so that the tips of the screws are just very slightly past the center of the holes. The tops of the screws will be around 1/16th below flush with the top of the rail.
4) Put the rail and asa back onto the gun, and tighten the side screws to lock it all down.
If you can't get it tight that way, you may need to remove the frame from the gun, screw the female air transfer tube up (away from the ASA) and then mount the ASA. Then tighten the air transfer tube down into the ASA fully.
When in the field playing, to clean the eyes, we just use a clean swab and run it back and forth through the gun without the bolt of barrel in the gun. It does take a full tear down to really clean them out though if it's a big mess.
Pictures will be up in a few hours, covering the toolkit, packaging, and engine.

Main Street Art Festival returns to Breckenridge this weekend
July 26, 2012
This weekend marks the 11th annual Breckenridge Main Street Art Festival. Over 120 artists from around the country, including locals, will present and sell their art from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. today through Sunday.
The festival is produced by Mountain Art Festivals under the auspices of Mark Beling and Judith Pollock, whose Colorado art shows are consistently ranked among the top shows in the country.
The Breckenridge festival, which is held at North Main Street at Wellington, will feature ceramics, mixed media, fiber, jewelry, painting, wood, glass and sculpture, among others. The artists will be on hand to discuss their work.
Among those presenting are Dale Atchison, who owns a fine art gallery in Westminster dedicated to promoting local and national contemporary artists. An artist and owner, he offers clients the opportunity to acquire original and undiscovered pieces of art at affordable prices.
Nature photographer Dick Cunningham has been photographing the U.S. for the last 35 years. In 1978 he moved to Breckenridge and for 15 years ran the Cunningham Gallery before moving to Florida in 1993. Cunningham returns to Breckenridge for the Main Street Art Festival.
Beth Erlund presents mixed media pieces inspired by a two and a half year stint studying oriental art forms in Japan. Erlund's art begins as an onsite sketch in ink and watercolor or a plein air oil painting in addition to photographs to aid her research. These become the basis for a final sketch on cotton or silk, which is then made into a batik.
Gem carver and goldsmith Don McCoy handmakes every facet of his jewelry creations, which are artistic interpretations of the beauty of natural forms. He uses diamond tools to alloy 24 karat gold into 14, 18 or 22 karat gold and rolls out his own sheets and wire to use in his hand-fabricated work.
John Koch harvests wood from the Rocky Mountains for his pieces, which include a home decor series of vases, bowls, cairns, wall hangings, jewelry boxes and puzzles in addition to an "Out of the Fire" series made from wood harvested from the remnants of forest fires.
Fiber and mixed media artist Kara Young is internationally recognized for her "ancient but also contemporary" work. She began her career with sculptural weavings before moving on to designing art clothing and papermaking for the past 14 years.
Visit the Main Street Art Festival in Breckenridge this weekend to see the work of these artists and many more. For info on the festival series, visit http://www.mountainartfestivals.com or call (970) 547-9326.

Does anyone have suggestions on nicer dress shoes? I'm liking me some Church's. If they're good enough for James Bond, etc, etc.
Does anyone have suggestions on nicer dress shoes? I'm liking me some Church's. If they're good enough for James Bond, etc, etc.
Church's are pretty outstanding. Crockett & Jones and Carmina are also very good, in that same price range. John Lobb, Edward Green, in the next bracket up. Alden and Allen Edmonds in the next price range down.
What kind of dress shoe are you looking for?

I own two pairs of Allen Edmonds and have been very happy with them. I have a pair of bit loafers (Verona) and Wingtips (Chesters). The build quality for the cost is excellent. Getting ready to send the Chesters in to be recrafted.
If you want to spend some money, I highly recommend Prada's classic leather oxfords. No fussing around here, just excellent Italian craftsmanship. $650, but I have been wearing them for over 2 years and they were comfortable from day one, no break-in needed, and I haven't needed to re-sole them or anything.
Salvatore ferragamo's
osiris gave a great start in his initial response here.
I can vouch for Edward Green, Crockett and Jones and Church's all being great shoes, no personal experience with the others mentioned. You really should to go to their shops to find out what last your foot goes with before going down that road though.
ferragamos and allen edmonds. Unless you go bespoke these 2 should fit all your needs imo
I think Allen Edmonds are the best made factory shoe available. Not the most expensive - just the best made. Their shankless and fully welted design alone puts them above anyone else, IMO. I sold men's shoes in college and promised myself that one day when I felt like I could afford it, I buy them for myself.
I just picked these up last week:
Heading back to the store for these this afternoon after work:

if you're looking to spend a bit more on well-known brands, look at Loake, Church's, or Crockett & Jones
of course, there are tons of boutique shoemakers out there that will make you a shoe of incredible quality at comparable prices to the high-end designers. you just have to find them
twitter x PSN:zerosaint x MUFC x FS: 18" 4x100 TRD Wheels
Wife bought these Allen Edmonds for me this summer. I want the same pair in black.
2010 GTI & 2002 Passat Wagon
Get some socks that match your trousers first.
You could go balls out and get some Gaziano & Girling. I just got my first pair of Carminas, albeit boots, I'm very excited about them. I also plan to treat myself to a pair of Crockett and Jones by end of this year.
Maybe not the best pictures, but here is some inspiration, for good or bad. Some dress shoes that I have collected over the last 4-5 years. A well-made shoe will last many years; I have a rubber liner applied to the leather sole at my local shoe guy (cobbler is so out of style).
To be honest, I am not fond of the rounded toe look. However, the Allen Edmonds that people post in this thread look quite appealing.
The black shoe in the following picture is from 2003 or 2004. I don't wear it too often since it's a bit tight on my foot.
Another view:
These are cheaper alternatives from DSW. In the 60 to 100 range:
By the way, does Suede count?
You need shoe trees asap.

I haven't heard about the decline in quality, but I also haven't purchased a new pair of dress shoes in years
I've been looking to add to my collection and these has been a great thread!
Definitely liking Allen Edmonds a lot!
Love my Allen Edmonds! I own the burnished brown Kenilworth's just like these. Very versatile, works with a suit or a pair of jeans.
This video should put you over the top, and have you completely sold on the brand

Dobbs again cited discredited Heritage immigration figures
Lou Dobbs claimed that "[i]f the Heritage Foundation [hadn't gotten] involved," a recent immigration bill passed by the Senate "would have approved 100 million immigrants into this country." But independent analysts have questioned the methodology and results of a Heritage study to which Dobbs was referring; the study claimed that the Senate bill would allow more than 100 million people to legally immigrate to the U.S. over the next 20 years.
On the July 14 edition of CNN's Lou Dobbs Tonight, Dobbs claimed that "[i]f the Heritage Foundation [hadn't gotten] involved" in the immigration debate, a recent bill [1] passed by the Senate "would have approved 100 million immigrants into this country." Dobbs's statement about Heritage getting "involved" was a reference to a study issued by Heritage claiming that the Senate bill would allow more than 100 million immigrants to enter the U.S. over the next 20 years. The study has been credited with generating support for an amendment to the Senate bill that would reduce the number of immigrants allowed in the U.S. under the bill's proposed guest worker program. However, independent analysts have questioned the methodology and results of the Heritage study, as Media Matters for America noted [2] when Dobbs previously cited it.
The Heritage study [3], conducted by Robert Rector [4], originally claimed that "[i]f enacted, the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act [CIRA, S.2611 [1]] would ... allow[] an estimated 103 million persons to legally immigrate to the U.S. over the next 20 years -- fully one-third of the current population of the United States." Rector later reduced that number to 66 million after the Senate passed Sen. Jeff Bingaman's (D-NM) amendment [5] that would limit the number of legal immigrants who could enter the United States under the bill's guest worker program. According to a May 23 Knight Ridder (now known as McClatchy) article [6], the Heritage study "helped persuade" the Senate to pass Bingaman's amendment.
The Rector study, which Dobbs has previously cited [2], has received widespread criticism. For instance, in a June 2 article [7], The Washington Post noted criticism of the study by an analyst at the Cato Institute:
Alan Reynolds, a senior fellow for the libertarian Cato Institute, said Rector's estimates "are preposterous." He accused Rector of compounding numbers to reach an alarming total and not taking into account that most immigrants who would become legal citizens already live in the country.
"They're basically saying, 'Gee, if we keep illegals illegal, then we would have fewer legal residents,' " Reynolds said.
Further, the Knight Ridder article quoted William Frey [8] of the Brookings Institution stating that Rector's conclusions are "widely unrealistic," and that Rector arrived at the original 103 million figure by "assum[ing] the maximums, pull[ing] out all the stops for every loophole, possibility, and mak[ing] some assumptions -- some unrealistic -- about how many family members will be brought in."
Also, government projections for the Senate bill prior to Bingaman's amendment differ significantly from Dobbs' 20 year pre-Bingaman estimate of "100 million" total legal immigrants, or Rector's pre-Bingaman 10-year estimate of 49 million [9] total legal immigrants. As the Knight Ridder article noted, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), in a May 16 report, concluded [10] that the Senate bill without Bingaman's amendment would have allowed an additional 8 million immigrants to enter the United States legally over the next 10 years through a guest worker program. In addition, the bill would allow a one-time reclassification of about 11 million [7] immigrants who have resided in the United States for more than 5 years to become citizens if, according to an ABC News article [11], "they pay $2,000 in fines, pass a background check, learn English, and work for six years." The bill would also allow current legal immigration levels [12] of approximately 1 million a year to continue. Adding the CBO's 10-year projection of 8 million for the guest worker program, plus the one-time reclassification of 11 million for immigrants who have resided in the United States for more than 5 years, and adding 10 million (1 million per year for 10 years) for immigration through the current legal system, yields about 29 million total legal immigrants over the first 10 years of the program. After the first decade of the program, immigration numbers would likely be reduced because applicants under the one-time reclassification provisions would presumably become citizens, as allowed [11], six years after passage of the bill.
From the July 14 edition [13] of CNN's Lou Dobbs Tonight:
DOBBS: And the Senate would send everyone in this country, every citizen, straight to hell if they had their way. They didn't read the legislation that they wrote, and this -- and it just keeps coming up, creating the requirement to consult with the government of Mexico, before building a fence. I mean, it's just one thing after another. If the Heritage Foundation doesn't get involved in this, the Senate would have approved 100 million immigrants into this country, in addition to what we have over the next 20 years. I mean, they don't even know what they're doing.

There was plenty of understandable concern about Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles this week. He missed the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Bills due to a left knee injury, the same knee he had ACL surgery on last year. But it turned out to be just a bruise, and Charles has practiced fully this week. He is officially listed as probable to face the Saints.
Fantasy Analysis:
Charles will be looking to redeem himself after a game in which he averaged 0.5 yards per carry. He certainly has the right matchup for a big game. The Saints have already allowed six rushing touchdowns this season, they have allowed the second-most fantasy points to RBs, and they have yet to face a back with Charles' talents. While Peyton Hillis will still vulture the goal-line opportunities and a decent amount of other carries, I have no qualms about starting Charles as a high-end RB2 this week. I expect him to break off a couple of long runs against that horrible defense.

Interview with Andrew Breitbart
posted at 2:50 pm on October 8, 2009 by Michael van der Galien
Clarification added at the bottom.
Andrew Breitbart is arguably the most prominent conservative media personality in the States – and even in the world – today. He is a regular guest at major TV shows such as Fox News' "Hannity," with Sean Hannity.
Breitbart is also the man who broke the ACORN scandal, the SEIU scandal, who took on Hollywood a year ago by creating a groupblog Big Hollywood, and who created another successful group blog called Big Government earlier this year.
The first of the two group blogs, Big Hollywood, went into the top 100 on Technorati within a matter of weeks, even though it, Breitbart said in an interview conducted Wednesday, was "created from my basement."
How did this happen? Simple: Breitbart knows the Internet, the blogosphere and the media. He, not Arianna Huffington, is the one who came up with the idea for the Huffington Post and the one who executed it.
After launching this, ironically, far-left website, Breitbart helped Matt Drudge run his Drudge Report. Drudge, the story goes, taught Breitbart everything he knows – without Drudge, there would not have been Andrew Breitbart, New Media entrepreneur.
Although he was a big player before this summer already, Breitbart truly became the right's leading new media personality after his newly created Big Government website published videos of ACORN-employees advising undercover journalists Hannah Giles and James O'Keefe how to smuggle underaged hookers into the U.S. and how to set up an illegal brothel.
Breitbart's exposé of ACORN turned him into a hero of the right, but it didn't take long before left-wing journalists and news outlets went after him. One such attack angered Breitbart so much that he decided to answer his detractors publicly.
Of course, Breitbart wrote in his public response to a negative article published at The Daily Beast, he knew that the left would go after him and question his motives, but couldn't they at least take the time to ask him why he did what he did and how he did it? "I'm VERY reachable," Breitbart wrote.
In an interview conducted Wednesday, Breitbart told PoliGazette that while he may have been angry, he was also "goofing around a bit."
Even when he fights dishonest critics, the right's New Media leader is of good cheer.
Those who thought the attacks discouraged him, would better think again. He has a lot more up his sleeve, he said. "We're creating more sites. We will be creating Big Education, Big Tolerance, Big Jerusalem, Big Climate, Big Journalism," Big EU and more.
The mission is simple yet devastating for the Left: "I'm creating a series of group blogs, just like Big Government and Big Hollywood, each one is an attack on the left's dominance in certain areas and saying 'your behavior is no longer going to go unnoticed and we are going to start defending ourselves, and we're going to start taking you on'."
There are three important battlefields in the grand culture war, Breitbart passionately explains. "It was important to launch the Hollywood one [i.e. Big Hollywood] because the culture front is the most important front. It has been long ignored by the northeastern conservative elite, who think that politics is the most important front.
"No, our culture is the most important front. And the three most important pillars of that culture are Hollywood and pop culture, along with education and the media. Those three are absolutely controlled by the left."
It reminds the careful observer of the great Friedrich A. Hayek's call on conservatives to influence the "second-hand dealers in ideas." "The reason why a center-right nation like the United States could veer, over the last forty years, to the left, is because of the left's fundamental understanding of the importance of the cultural role in our society and how pop culture and culture are upstream from politics."
And that's where Breitbart and his websites come in. To him, there is little or no use in trying to reform existing news outlets from within. The MSM is heavily biased. It won't cover anything that may hurt the left if it isn't forced to. Despite its tremendous success, Big Hollywood is and remains ignored by the MSM.
So, there's only thing conservatives can and should do: create their own news organizations and do their own reporting, opining and analyzing. Instead of complaining about how the 'cultural elites' aren't treating them fairly, Breitbart's message to conservatives seems to be, do something about it.
Perhaps it is this attitude – this pragmatism – that truly makes Breitbart different than other conservatives and that helped him become a national figure. He, unlike most, doesn't merely understand what the problem is, but he actually tries to solve it.
All eyes are on him now; let's see what he comes up with next. We may not know what his next major project will be exactly, but we do know this: it will force the left to play defense.
Also read this article published at the Financial Times yesterday.
This post was also published at PoliGazette.
Clarification: TDB's Friedersdorf emailed me requesting a correction because I gave readers the impression he went after Breitbart while defending the NYT (of all newspapers) because Breitbart broke the ACORN scandal. That is not the case as such; he criticized the way Breitbart operates, how he runs his websites, how his websites approach the news, and Breitbart's relentless criticism of the MSM. Of course, the ACORN scandal was a direct result of Breitbart's vision on the media and politics, which is why I issue a clarification instead of a correction. Friedersdorf also requested I'd take out my description of him as left-wing, saying he wrote for right-of-center outlets and that he has been called a "reform conservative" and libertarian. That's great, but I'm afraid we won't play that game. Those who call him a "libertarian" should pick up a dictionary and read some Hayek, and a "reform conservative" is, of course, a contradictio in terminis.

Nesting Boxes for the Brown-headed Nuthatch
Download brown-headed nuthatch nesting box plans (requires Adobe Acrobat).
The brown-headed nuthatch can be attracted to the backyard by creating proper nesting habitat along with good feeding stations supplied with sunflower seeds.
While three species of nuthatches can be seen in Georgia, the 3 1/2 inch brown-headed is the smallest, and it is the only nuthatch that sports a brown cap. The other two nuthatches found in Georgia are the white-breasted and red-breasted.
Brown-headed nuthatch populations are declining in many areas. In fact, the brown-headed nuthatch is considered by some experts to be the least common nuthatch in North America. Brown-headed nuthatches prefer mature pine forests, and loss of this habitat has played a major role in their decline. Conservationists are working with forest managers to improve their modern forestry practices by avoiding short rotations and leaving dead trees or snags within the forest to make the pinelands more suitable for these charming birds.
Natural History
Preferred Nesting Sites: Brown-headed nuthatches nest in dead trees, old woodpecker holes and wood fence posts. Both the male and female excavate nesting cavities. Nesting cavities average only 5 feet above ground, however, nest sites range from 2 to 50 feet above the forest floor.
Nest: Nests are typically constructed of strips of inner tree bark, grasses, wood chips, hair, feathers and the wings off pine seeds.
Eggs: Clutch sizes range from 3-9 eggs (commonly 5-6). Eggs are white and adorned with fine reddish-brown specks.
Incubation: Females incubate the eggs. Males will often feed their mates on the nest during incubation. Eggs hatch in 14 days.
Fledging: Young birds leave the nest in 18-19 days.
Broods/Year: Brown-headed nuthatches typically produce one brood per year, however, rarely they will nest a second time.
Diet: Pine seeds, cockroaches, beetles, spiders, other insects and their eggs.

MADISON - The exodus of assistants continue at the University of Wisconsin.
Three days after former Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema hired defensive coordinator Chris Ash at Arkansas, offensive coordinator Matt Canada has accepted the same job at North Carolina State under new head coach Dave Doeren, a former Wisconsin assistant.
"Matt Canada has one of the most creative offensive minds in the country and he does a great job of utilizing strengths and hiding weaknesses," Doeren said in the statement. "I had the privilege to work with Matt when he was on the staff of our first conference championship team at Northern Illinois and to coach against him when he was the offensive coordinator at Indiana."
Confirming what we first reported Thursday, wide receivers coach Zach Azzanni has accepted the same job at Tennessee under new head coach Butch Jones. The two worked together at Central Michigan. All three coaches are expected to remain on staff through the Rose Bowl.
"I am grateful to Dave for the opportunity to join him at NC State," said Canada in the release. "It's a special place and I think the future is bright for the program. I am excited to meet and begin working with our players."
In 2011 Canada was the offensive coordinator at Northern Illinois under Doeren, where his offense ranked among the top 12 nationally in scoring offense, total offense and rushing offense. The Huskies also posted an 11-3 record, winning the MAC championship and grabbing a victory in the GoDaddy.com Bowl.
Despite his fair share of criticism following in the footsteps of Paul Chryst, Canada orchestrated an offense that ranked 12th in the NCAA in rushing yards per game (237.8) and won its third straight conference championship after Canada's creative play-calling lead to a 70-31 blowout victory over then-No.12 Nebraska in the Big Ten Championship game.
"Matt has had to run his offense with different personnel and has been successful each time," Doeren said. "He will make the transition much easier for me. He's not only a tremendous quarterback coach who has developed quarterbacks into NFL players, but he has also developed the run game, as evidenced by Wisconsin's success rushing the ball this season."

One of the most popular questions clients ask me is, "When will tablets be used for productivity, rather than just consumption?" My answer: They already are, but in different ways than we have come to expect from the PC era. As I discuss in a new Forrester report, tablets, smartphones, and future devices like wearables are tools of a new era of post-PC productivity.
Combining the native capabilities of post-PC devices with cloud connectivity yields powerful new productivity scenarios that weren't available in the PC era, such as:

text: The Cleveland game is a must lose one for the future of the franchise. While losing to the Cavs is a real posibility with this team, I don't think its going to be left for chance. Not content to leave the fate of the franchise solely to Frank's head scratching rotations, I think the staff will sit a player. Who will it be? Bonus props if you can figure out who will miss the game on the Cav's side.

I'm 6'2" tall and use 5" forward control extensions. With the stock bars and risers, I need about 1-2 more inch of pullback for it to feel comfortable to me. If I could find out what the total rise and pullback of the stock bars and risers are, I could find the right choice for bars.
I'd go with LA Choppers. Their 6-7" drags are almost like stock. Their 9-9.5 give a nice pullback increase (I'm 5'10" and in the increased pullback of the 9.5" was perfect). You'll also want to consider if you need new lines. Some folks can keep the stock lines with 9" pull. I had to replace my lines with 9.5" pullback only because of the clutch line. Also don't forget to order your bolts.
dont get cruiser performance bars, even through a vendor. phat performance will drop you off with cruiser performance and you will be screwed.
How about riser extensions? Instead of paying hundreds for bars and spending hours messing with the internal wiring, you could probably put these on in 30 minutes. There's a member running these-I can't remember who thiugh.

Opening Hour
00.00 - 00.00
B-Resto owner Rawiwan Sukavaj thinks of her one-year-old restaurant as a comfortable living room where her guests can linger over good food. The high-ceilinged eatery is painted in orange and black with touches of brushed steel. And large black-and-white photos capturing everyday city life. Music ranges from classy jazz to boy bands of the 90's like Westlife and O-Town. The ground floor dining room has just added a wood-fired pizza oven. The second floor offers a more pub-like feel with low-rise tables and tartan cube chairs. If you are afraid to be out of earshot of the helpful staff, fret not. There is a little bell sitting on each table.
