Memories of Axminster
Dukes And Hawkins. My Two Favourite Sweet Shops.
In the years of rationing, my mum used to remove the sweet coupons from her ration book so that we didn't spend all our pocket money on sweets. About halfway down Castle Hill, on the left, was Dukes shop. All I was interested in were the sweets, though he also sold tea, sugar and a variety of ...Read full memory
Aminster Secondary Modern School
I have some rather bad memories of school years spent at this school, because I was a rather shy and insecure child so I tended to be the victim of the school bullies. One I remember very vividly was a Maureen Ashby, I also remember a Miss Wallis as the domestic science teacher, who used to make me feel ...Read full memory
The Cosy Cafe
My family owned the Cosy Cafe on Lyme Road in the 1950s. I did not start working their until 1957 as I was still at school until then, but I still remember a lot of the customers who use to come in for their cups of tea.

are you his REP?
please tell that punk to call me.
I've known JD for 15 years. We live in the same town and work:cheerstogether quite often. I'll see that punk on Monday and let him know you're looking for him. lol
pm sent
Welcome back! I still have your helmet and jet pack, remember? :)
Glad to hear from you!! Your helmet was one of my most memorable accomplishments. Glad you still have it. How'd that Jet pack work for you? Would love to see pics of the suit completed. Thanks for the warm welcome back all.
Hey bro!
The jet pack worked out great! I don't have any more pics of the whole suit sadly, it was lost two computers ago, and for some odd reason, in my photohosting site, it's folder has been erased. I have no idea how it could have happened. It was my avatar for the longest time!
I'm revising the armor, so it's not quite what it was back then, outfit wise. But, the helmet is now my son's, and he'll be wearing it as it was then! (minus the jet pack, I'm keeping that one!!!) :) :)
Well, there haven't been any serious orders in the past 3 weeks and I am gonna close doors on this as of Oct. 7th. After that I won't be taking any orders. Please responde before then if you are serious.
Pm sent.
forgive me for being uninformed but what does Judz Dwedd Armor look like?
since JD hasnt been on in a few weeks , ask him how my armor is coming along pls.
well i paid for a complete set from JD and have not heard much since
Same for me. But JD has always been a great guy. I'm not worried.:)
I'm going to JD's today to work on my day off. I can personally tell you he is working on all the orders. Every time I go there , he is doing something different. Don't worry about a thing....remember, you can't rush perfection.
beleive me...i want perfection so i can wait:lol;)
Well, After a month of offering this run, I am closing the doors. Life gets busy and I really cant wait for months to hear back from people.
sent you a pm and asked you about the JD order I sent...I know he hasnt pulled my stuff yet and I now only need knees and a back plate...please tell him to send only that and to refund me the difference to my paypal
Hey, I can't speak for JD or promise you anything...All I can do is relay the message that you need to speak with him. I will see him ,hopefully, tomorrow.
As for this thread...I am closed and not taking orders any longer. Sorry, If you didn't get in on this run. I can't say if we will ever offer it again...we are both very busy as of right now...
Thanks All...
have you had the chance to check in with him..I still have not heard from him in regards to this...worse case senario..if i get the whole set...I guess I'll have to offer up the rest of the pieces to an interested party...rather not have that hastle though
Any news or updates on the armor as of late?
Ok, The only address I had for JD is no longer valid. Been over 2 months since I paid and I am starting to get worried. I need to know whats going on, so could someone in contact with him please pass the info along.
I have to agree, I haven't heard anything either, and an update would be great. I tried emailing but the contact info I had didn't work.
I will speak with him tomorrow...for sure...I've not been there for a while either and I know he has been gone and busy for the most part...as soon as I relay the message, I am sure he will contact all involved. I have known Loren for over 15 years and he is a man of his word. Don't worry...he's just busy with life right now.
Thanks All,
understandable as we all have life issues...but if he is that busy and can't get the stuff done, at least allow the folks who have invested money to have an alternative...I really want the knees and backplate but if he is too busy, i can try an obtain one from a different source....but i really need the extra cash i gave him for the whole set sans the knees and back plate, to apply to other areas of this costume and some other folks can't wait for ever for payment either...

"The way a crow shook down on me the dust of snow from a hemlock tree, has given my heart a change of mood, and saved some of the day I had rued."
– Robert Frost
All you have to do to make a former New Englander homesick is blanket the ground with a few inches of snow. So when heavy flakes began to fall a few nights ago, I knew I'd be up earlier the next morning than children on Christmas Day, and I'd remember …
I know I have written several columns about computers and other modern-day horrors, but please be patient with me as I spew out more words on not understanding a thing about them.
Many friends and family members have attempted to teach me the science of technology. A good friend told me to consider the computer a filing cabinet. Sounds good. I remember when I worked with good, old filing cabinets. Everything was in alphabetical order, and there was no problem finding what you needed. I tried putting stuff in the computer, but it always landed in la-la land, never to be seen again.
February is the optimal time of the year for chores such as pruning roses and overgrown plants and applying pre-emergent herbicides.
Major pruning of most roses needs to be completed by bud break. Roses respond to pruning and grooming by producing flowers in greater quantity. For most roses, heavier pruning yields larger, more attractive flowers. Major pruning is done in early spring before growth begins, while grooming is done throughout the growing season.
Organizers of the Evans Towne Farmers Market are putting out a call to local growers and vendors in anticipation of their second season beginning in March.
The market will open on Thursday, March 20, and will run until late October, according to Kim Hines, a co-manager of the market managed by Augusta Locally Grown.

This battery pack is amazing! Yes, you have to buy the extensions separately (will soon be reviewing those), but this battery pack is wonderful! Only downside is that you have to go through different modes to get to the one you want (the left button shuts off the pack). I would recommend this system to anyone, solo goers or partners.
I was very pleasantly suprised by the power this thing packs regardless of the bullet. Definitely worth the money even if you have to buy the bullets separately. And the variety of settings is great.
This battery pack is quite powerful. I am just ordering a replacement, but my original (battery pack, not the bullets!) lasted 2 years. It takes 3 AA batteries and I think that 3rd battery gives it that little extra "oomph" that makes this stronger than others I have tried.
This was so much fun for my my boyfriend and myself. We had a lot of laughs exploring all the different settings. I went into the Berkeley location and played with the vibrators they had and I'm so glad I chose this one. It was amazing! My boyfriend said it feels awesome for him also. You won't be dissappointed.
The only downside is that there's no "back" button: if the settings are A, B, C, D, E, F, and G, there's no quick way to get (say) from G to F without cycling through the entire series. Other than that it's easy to use, gives a good strong vibration, and if a bullet or cord is damaged they're easy (and inexpensive) to replace. Heartily recommended.
Loved this! You have to buy the bullet separately, but they're not expensive. The controller has distinct vibrations with different patterns and intensities, all very tasty. Think Morse code. It uses 3 AAs, so invest in some rechargeables because you'll use this a lot! You flip through the settings using the right arrow and the left arrow is a quick off button in case your roommate returns unexpectedly. ;)

Women's Soccer Finishes Season with 1-1 Draw at Valpo
By Rachel Buck (@GBRachel)
VALPARAISO, Ind. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – A goal by senior Ahna Logan (Roseville, Minn.) in her final collegiate match gave the Phoenix an early lead, but it wasn't enough as Valparaiso scored an equalizer and both teams missed on several scoring opportunities before the match ended in a 1-1 draw on Friday evening at Brown Field.
The draw brought Green Bay's overall record to 4-8-5 this season while it finished with a 1-5-1 mark in the Horizon League. Valpo moved to 8-6-3 overall and 2-3-2 in the conference.
A goal in the 12th minute by Logan gave the Phoenix an early 1-0 advantage. Jenna Harrington (Madison, Wis.) set up the play with a pass to Logan on the right side, and she hit a shot from the top of the box to the lower left corner for her first goal of the season.
However, Valparaiso responded 10 minutes later, as April Cronin collected a through ball from Rita Craven and sent it home to knot the score at 1-1.
Renee Therrien (Winnipeg, Manitoba) put a shot on goal late in the opening stanza, but Valpo's Kristen Manski made the save and the score remained even going into the break. Neither team had a corner kick opportunity in the first 45 minutes of action, while Valpo led shots, 6-5.
Green Bay put six shots on the board in the second half, including two on goal, but Manski came up with a save each time. A series of quick shots in the 73rd minute looked like a prime opportunity for the Phoenix to put a tally on the board, but it was unable to capitalize. Logan started the threat with a shot that went wide and was followed by another wide attempt by Katie Schulz (Plymouth, Minn.). A minute later Emily Friedl (Kenosha, Wis.) had an attempt on goal, but Manski made the save to keep the score even.
The Crusaders nearly put the match away in the first overtime session, but a shot by Katriona Anesini hit the post in the 98th minute. Transitioning to the other end of the field, Hekla Palmadottir (Akranes, Iceland) served up a nice corner kick but Schulz's shot in the final seconds was blocked.
A header by Hannah Kernen (Belleville, Wis.) was the only shot for the Green Bay offense in the second overtime, as the Phoenix recorded its fifth draw of the season.
For the match, Valpo owned a slim 16-15 shots advantage despite Green Bay leading attempts on goal, 9-4. The Crusaders also led corner kicks, 4-2. Logan finished with a match-high five shots and Kernen added four attempts including three on goal.
Katy Pilarzyk (Madison, Wis.) played the entire match, making three saves while her counterpart Manski was forced to make eight saves.

I will look into fixing the rudder. Thanks for the term NACA. It is a good term to search on for usable profiles.
Had the boat out again yesterday under strong winds. Was too chicken to run the Hobie sail, so I flew the OEM sail and reefed. The boat was difficult to control. I sailed with just the main alone and also with main and jib. The boat wanted to turn down wind. Very difficult to come about. It would get almost straight into the wind and it would turn back down wind again. All the while the boat was still moving forward. Problem nearly the same with the jib up or down. I wonder if it was worse, because it was reefed. That should put the center of effort forward, I would think. The boat is supposed to be self righting, but was difficult to turn into the wind when laid over too far - a little scary. Dropping the main, and it still was hard to turn out of it.
Not sure what the wind speed was, but at the end, I dropped both sails in about the middle of the lake. The wind blew me to the dock at about a steady 2 knots with both sails DOWN. Crazy windy day.
Hopefully I can get out on a calmer day and use the Hobie sail again. It is just discouraging trying to sail the boat on the OEM main. The Hobie sail seems to act much more normal, so I feel much safer.
|If you replace the flat metal plate with a naca profile airfoil, it will work a lot better, and not stall nearly as easily...
Just got back from a week of sailing. I have several conclusions. The biggest of which is the person who designed this boat, never sailed. Unless you are sailing down wind, the air off the jib blows the back side of the main. If you let it out farther, it flaps. Based on this, I moved the jib cars about 8 inches outward. The boat acts much better. I've confirmed with a knot stick proper jib trim and this position works much much better. It also helps the boat handle much better.
The rudder stalls easily, no solution yet, other than don't turn it more than about 10 or 15 degrees. Its not all bad, sailing into the wind as hard as I could, I had the rudder clamped dead straight. As the wind would shift, the boat would heel over and round up slightly. As it would level out, it would turn down wind. This meant the boat would track a course, self correcting a few degrees all by its self. I went for 1.5 miles - one side of the lake to the other without touching tiller. Who needs an autopilot? But I would much rather have a rudder that controls the boat. I don't like the feeling of not being in control. It makes it difficult to push the boat. You stay away from everything and everyone because you don't know if the boat is going to turn or have a mind of its own.
I did run the Hobie sail. Put it up the first day and never looked back. It sails better with the bigger sail - 30% bigger, but the boat is still slow. Even in moderate winds when I'm not even close to pushing hull speed, I watched a larger Hunter leave me like I was going backwards - about 3 times faster than I was going. I did get a chance to push the boat, ran with the stays in the water just for fun. Not sure it was going any faster than a more normal heeling. Didn't have the knot stick out that time. Had it out later and did confirm I was able to hit 5 knots for a short bit, which should be hull speed. It takes a really strong wind to get over about 3 - 3.5 knots. Makes for some very slow, hot days out on the lake. But better than being at work.
"Maybe the main is so " I hate to ask, but is the main so old that there is no resin coating left on it, and it feels as soft as a bedsheet?
It could just be so old and blown out (distorted) that it won't drive the boat properly no matter how it is trimmed. I know, sails cost money...but like fresh fruit & veggies, they are very much a consumable item.
Boom Vang?
More thoughts: This boat has no boom vang. The main sheet is attached to the middle of the boom so there is very little pulling the boom down. Something I had not earlier considered, as I was used to my HobieCat, which doesn't need a boom vang. The main sheet attaches near the rear of the boom and is easily held down. Anyway, I was watching the sail in the high winds, I had no twist in the sail and no way to get any twist. The sail was just one big sweeping scoop. Once I reefed the main, I had sail twist, things acted much better and even though the jib was down, I could point much better into the wind.
It just makes me think I should create a boom vang, rivet a stainless steel strap to the bottom of the boom and attach a pulley to it. I remember the Hobie would never really take off until I pulled the rear of the boom down with the main sheet. Maybe that is really the issue of the main having no power and the boat being so slow. Maybe the main is so cupped, it just knocks the boat over, rather than moving it forward no?
You make a joke, but the funny thing is, I had passengers with me that didn't realize that. I never drempt someone had never thought through the function of how a rudder works. I asked for help on the tiller, so I could do something, but they kept turning the rudder the wrong way. I should have gone through a explanation of everything before we set out.
To highlandman, you may have hit on some things. I don't know that I ever turned the rudder fully flat, but did get it on a 45 degree angle. The rudder is flat - a piece of flat aluminum stock, so that may explain some things. In higher winds, the boat moved fast enough, of course it would turn before you go the rudder turned very far, but in light winds, what you are saying certainly makes sense.
Along with the jib, yes, the jib was cupped - meaning angled in towards the center of the boat. I found I had to let it out a long way to get control, which of course then it depowered. It seemed to cup a lot. This gives me some things to play with next time - things that I didn't sense were right, but needed more supporting argument to make a change. I may be able to drop a pulley on the shroud. That would put the jib sheet to the outer edge of the boat.
Thanks for the input.

Is that a flat plate rudder (the part actually in the water)?
Reminds me of an old Ted Williams Jetwind I have (Sunfish knockoff). The thin flat rudder blade is notorious to stall at surprisingly low angles. The farther you turn the rudder the less turning effect the thing has. Especially bad in light air/slow boat speeds; she takes a very light and patient hand on the tiller. Try keeping tiller angle under 10 degrees from center (except in mid-tack) and see what happens.
Not all factory-original designs are optimal, you might be better off with a homebrew blade of the same side view shape but a little more thickness and rounded edges (like a Sunfish), or even a foil shape (like a Laser).
Another thing - I can't tell from the photo, but if your jib sheet leads are WAY off forward and inboard to the point where the jib leech (trailing edge) actually hooks, you're doomed -- you'll go off to leeward like a folded-paper toy boat. And your main is fairly high-aspect compared to the jib, it will be easy to overtrim it and stall it, making it ineffective compared to the jib. All of which also gets worser in lighter air.
Or I could be completely wrong. We're all trying to be helpful but without actually sailing her we're taking (hopefully educated) stabs in the dark.
|Center board was down, although when I first started, I forgot about it. It really didn't make much difference, as this boat also has a stub keel. Actually I think that is one of the problems. The keel is kind of fat and blunt. There is another forum dedicated to this brand. There has been mention that the boat is a pig (their choice of words). I don't think I'm hitting haul speed. While it has been many years, I learned to sail on a Interlake and a Javelin, both boats having similar haul speeds to this boat. I just don't remember them being so sluggish or unresponsive.
"Out today with what had to be 20 mph winds. The boat is still pretty slow and poor steering. Wind was too intense for"
Well, try to "divide and conquer". That's the only way you can beat something that's more powerful than you are, like a boat.
First off, as you noticed, 20mph is just too miuch for the boat. Heck, even keelboats 30' long benefit from reefing well before 20 knots and not being familiar with your boat, I'd have to ask just how effective your reefing options are to begin with.
"The boat does not seem to steer into the wind very well, ...the boat is so slow...Are some boats just like that?"
Some boats are simply unbalanced pigs, yes. If your boat is an "1981 AFC T for Two Made by American Fiberglass Company " there are some photos at AFC T for Two sailboat for sale which show one. As someone else asked, what about your centerboard? Is it locked down (LOCKED down) and is the correct original centerboard there at all? That would be critical to proper upwind operation.
Have you been able to locate any other owners (past or present) on the web, who might have some insight into what is normal for the boat? A 17' boat, even at its best, will probably have a maximum hull speed around 5 knots--so don't expect lightning fast speeds from this boat.
If there are any dinghy racing programs in your area, even though they will be very different from what you are sailing, you might be able to ask one of the instructors or more experienced sailors to come out and take a ride with you, and share their hands-on insight. Most sailors will be glad to come along and help, for the price of a coke or beer.

How do YOU do this and what do you recommend? I have seen several things people do: Black wash spray (water & paint misted), chalk dusting with a brush, and Flat Paint mist standing several feet back. Here are details on what I've done & what I want:
All my paints are Gloss Enamel, which I've wet sanded down with 1000 grit. This took most the gloss away, but still semi-reflective. I tried a spot with wet 600 grit, which dulled it down too much, drastically fading the color (not looking worn, just lighter & sanded lol). I have my scratches & paint peeling down, but not the color-fading. I'm now wanting to weather & dirty up the armor so that it looks WORN and OLD (like I didn't give a **** about it). Much like Boba Fett's helmet has the faded green appearance.
I want it all to have a uniform sun-faded, dirty look, as if I spent too much time in windy conditions on Tattooine.
I think the black wash would look good & uniform, but might make it look grimey and less worn/faded.
I think the chalk dusting will work good, but time consuming & less uniform.
I think the Flat paint Mist will be fade it, but in even less uniform the previous two options.
Could anyone comment on comparing these methods for fading & uniformal Dirtying, or have new methods to add to this?
Thank you!!!!

Hello everyone,
We've just rolled out our first test to improve the server functionality on OnRPG, MMOHut, the forums, and our administrative editing system. However I'd like to receive feedback from you guys over the course of the day to see how the forums are performing since you guys spend more time on here than I do on an average day.
Thanks for sticking with us through the dark ages that were the last two months. We should hopefully have a brighter tomorrow coming in 2014.

text: Working on a Pre Vizsla (phase 2). I have never made a mando before and I'm wondering about how best to attach the jetpack. He has a Jango style padded vest with armor backplate. I know some jetpacks have straps with quickreleases. I'd like to know the best of different methods for attaching all the layers together; Vest, backplate, jetpack, and somewhere in there a harness of some sort. And how best to put it on. I'm currently working on the vest (with zipper up the back). Any advice would be great. Pre Vizsla's phase 2 jetpack is quite large so there could be a decent amount of weight pulling back at everything.

This is so awesome guys
rad! now get it trimmed and painted in a hour like you do every other thing you start doing! Your scratch stuff was really good. cant wait to see how this turns out!
I wish I could start painting this as soon as its trimmed, but I left my compressor in LA the last time I went there, So I have to wait a week or so to get it back.
If you're doing ESB, be sure to fill in the dents on the back plate.
Both of the dents on the backplate.
I usually fill them in with JB Weld. Be sure to score the hell out of the surface with an X-Acto before you do any filling.
That looks sweet how much do those run?
Nice, now get it painted:thumbsup
I can't wait for mine to arrive! With this new armor and the addition of my new wookie scalps from lewis, accurate JP stabilizer, my Fett will go from pretty dang good to awesome!! :thumbsup
Looks Great ..is this the FP V3 ,how come you got 2 left knees though :confused
good luck on painting it ..keep us posted buddie ;)
Got the cod, backplate, and chest armor all trimmed up. I just need to finish the shoulder armor, kidney, left knee lol, right knee (when it comes), and the collar armor.
This armor is so nice that it feels like I am working on the real movie used costume. It is a nice feeling.
Here is the whole lot of trimmed parts
Right chest plate
Diamond piece is almost fully trimmed, just need to sand it flush.
Right chest plate
One shoulder fully trimmed
Here is the armor on me. Just so you get an idea of what it feels like
Let me know what you think
gotta love the smell of fresh cut armor!!:thumbsup
Well I spent most of this morning, sanding, trimming, sanding, filling, priming, sanding, priming, wet sanding, priming, and painting the silver, haha.
I am exausted!
Primed and wetsanded
Backplate with all the dents filled. Thanks Andy!
Freshly trimmed and primed pieces
And the silver goes on
No dent :D
This is where you need to look where you sit and dont put your cod in your seat....It is a tiny crack that is being repaired with JB Weld currently.
I took this pic cause it looked cool.
Let me know what you think.
Nice progress bruv...
I totally agree that right shoulder bell with silver on creates a great shot! shame to paint over it! :lol
Sorry to hear about your little accident, but you should be able to make good. You gonna trim out the back plate JP harness slots prior to painting?
I also got the masking fluid all on there. I just have to wait to start painting on the green.
Great progress!! What did you use to trim the armor? Snips? X-acto knife? Make sure you send some more progress pics. :thumbsup
nice work, you doing the whole project with rattle can or you airbrush
Your doing great work there so far buddie :skull:cheers
Thanks guys!
Cojake: I started using my dremel but it was taking way too long and it was just too loud since I live in an apartment. I moved over to my x-acto with a fresh blade.
usmcrice0311: I am using my airbrush, but I do not have my compresor with me so I cannot use it until I get it back.
stormshadow2100: Thanks man!
Awesome job! Can't wait till it's my turn :D

Parody and political parody use drama to depict people or social organizations as silly or degenerate, in this way distancing their crowd from the object of their amusingness. Spoof subverts well known sorts and structures, studying those structures without fundamentally denouncing them.
Different types of comic drama incorporate screwball comic drama, which gets its amusingness to a great extent from peculiar, shocking (and implausible) circumstances or characters, and dark comic drama, which is described by a type of cleverness that incorporates darker parts of human conduct or human instinct. Also dirty diversion, sexual amusingness, and race cleverness make comic drama by abusing social traditions or taboos in comic ways. A comic drama of conduct regularly takes as its subject a specific piece of society (normally high society) and utilizations amusingness to spoof or caricaturize the conduct and idiosyncrasies of its individuals. Lighthearted comedy is a well known classification that portrays thriving sentiment in funny terms and spotlights on the shortcomings of the individuals who are beginning to look all starry eyed at.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - The No. 59 North Carolina men's tennis team (10-12, 3-6 ACC) took down No. 25 Wake Forest (17-7, 6-3 ACC) by a score of 5-2 in an ACC contest on Friday at Leighton Courts.
Carolina's recent resurgence in doubles play resumed against the Demon Deacons, with the Tar Heels taking the doubles point for the fourth time in the last five matches.
The duo of Oystein Steiro and James Coxe notched Carolina's first doubles victory with an 8-6 victory over Wake Forest's Sam Bloom and Jon Ho. The Tar Heels proceeded to clinch the point on court two, where the 81st-ranked pairing of Brett Clark and Esben Hess-Olesen cruised past Danny Kreyman and Adam Lee, 8-3. The match at the No. 1 spot was halted as a result, with Carolina's 90th-ranked pairing of Nelson Vick and William Parker leading No. 39 David Hopkins and Amogh Prabhakar by a score of 7-5.
The Tar Heels maintained their strong play in the singles matches.
Oystein Steiro got on the board first for Carolina by tallying a 6-3, 7-6 victory at No. 5. Freshman Brett Clark added a win soon after, beating Danny Kreyman by a score of 7-6, 6-3 at the No. 2 seed.
Wake Forest got their first point from No. 110 Adam Lee, who snuck by senior William Parker in three sets, 6-4, 3-6, 6-3 at No. 4.
Nelson Vick countered for Carolina at No. 3 with a 6-4, 1-6, 6-2 win over No. 74 Amogh Prabhakar to put the Tar Heels up 4-1, securing the overall victory.
David Hopkins proceeded to capture Wake Forest's final point of the day at No. 1 singles, claiming a three-set victory against No. 44 Esben Hess-Olesen. To conclude the day, Carolina's Stuart DePaolo edged Sam Bloom 7-5, 4-6, 7-6 in another three-setter.
The match began outdoors, but was moved to indoor courts around 3:20 p.m. due to rain.
The Tar Heels will play their regular season finale on Sunday when they host Boston College at noon at Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center. The match will also be Senior Day for the Heels, and seniors William Parker and Taylor Meyer will be honored prior to the match.

Carson City woman dies from injuries in Oakfield Township 4-vehicle crash
OAKFIELD TOWNSHIP — A Carson City woman died Wednesday after sustaining injuries from a four-vehicle crash Tuesday in Oakfield Township.
Coleen Mary Stoudt, 59, of Carson City, died at about 1:40 p.m. in Grand Rapids, according to a press release by the Michigan State Police.
At 4:57 p.m. Tuesday, Oakfield Township, Michigan State Police, Kent County Sheriff's Office and emergency medical services (EMS) from both Kent and Montcalm counties were dispatched to a crash on 14 Mile Road (M-57) between Lincoln Lake and Podunk roads.
The vehicles involved were a white Chevy Silverado, a maroon Ford F-250, a light-tan Buick Century and a dark-tan Chevy Malibu.
According to Sgt. Scott Wilber of the Michigan State Police Rockford Post, a vehicle heading eastbound was stopped and waiting for traffic to clear to turn left into a child daycare center located at 12485 14 Mile Road.
Wilber said one — possibly two — vehicles were stopped behind that vehicle including the Buick.
Wilber explained the Silverado was almost at a complete stop — if not fully stopped — behind the Buick when the Ford F-250 rear-ended the Silverado sending it into the Buick and then into the westbound lane of 14 Mile Road, where the Silverado hit the Malibu head on and down the driver's side of the car.
The Malibu, driven by Stoudt, spun out and ended in the ditch at 12437 14 Mile Road.
Four people total were taken to the hospital, three to Spectrum Health United Hospital in Greenville and Stoudt to Spectrum Health Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids.
An update on the other three patients was not available.
Everyone involved in the accident is believed to be from Greenville and Carson City.
Wilber said after the investigation is complete, the information will be handed over to the Kent County Prosecutor's Office and the prosecutor will decide if charges will be filed against the at-fault driver, the driver of the Ford F-250.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Freshman Danny Garcia scored his first career goal in the 41st minute to lead No. 2 UNC past Davidson Tuesday night at Fetzer Field.
The freshman put the Tar Heels in front late in the first half when Jordan Gafa collected a ball at midfield and made a slicing pass to a cutting Andy Craven.
Craven made a deft one-touch pass to Garcia on his right who tracked the ball down and was one-on-one with the Davidson goalkeeper.
Garcia chipped the ball over Matt Pacifici and into the back of the net to put Carolina in front 1-0. The tally was the freshman's first of the year.
The Tar Heels dominated possession throughout the first half leading up to Garcia's score in the 41st minute.
Carolina was working with a pair of new starters as sophomores Mikey Lopez and Boyd Okwuonu were absent with the U.S. U-20 side in Marbella, Spain for the Marbella Cup.
Freshman Alex Olofson earned the start in the midfield and helped the Tar Heels force the issue throughout the evening. Senior Daniel Tannous filled in along the backline and helped the Tar Heels to their ACC-leading ninth shutout of the year.
Andy Craven came off the bench to register five shots with three on frame, including a shot late in the second half that ricocheted off the left post and out for a goal kick.
The Tar Heels finished with 15 shots on the night, while holding the Wildcats to one attempt. The Carolina midfield kept possession of the ball throughout the evening and threatened the Davidson defense on several occasions.
Carolina ran its current win streak to six matches with the victory and the Tar Heels are unblemished over their last seven. The Tar Heels also became the fifth team in NCAA history to post a 35-match home unbeaten streak with the win over Davidson.
The Tar Heels will now take to the road for their next two contests with a trip to College of Charleston on Saturday before visiting No. 1 Maryland on Friday, Oct. 19.

Low left is a normal error on the part of the shooter. It could be off but not likely.
Are you using the GP100 single action or double. It makes a big difference.
I posted another thread in the forum about my lack of consistancy with the new M9 hg I purchased. I have 700 rds through it now, and the accuracy doesn't seem to change. I keep hitting low and left even though I take great care not to break my wrist, tightening up fingers/hand, while keeping a steady pull on the trigger(not slapping). I had my friend shoot the gun, who is somewhat seasoned, and he couldn't hit with any accuracy either. We then shot his GP 100 without any difficulty, hitting the bullseye at will. Sure, the Ruger is a much easier gun to shoot, but I can't seem to get satisfactory results(25 ft) ? Is am M9 harder to shoot then most guns? WT#
Low left is a normal error on the part of the shooter. It could be off but not likely.
Are you using the GP100 single action or double. It makes a big difference.
I was consistently shooting low left until I discovered during dry firing that the front sight was moving low left at the instant of sear release. I now use a crush grip with the finger contacting the trigger at the midpoint between the tip and the first joint and a steady quick press on the trigger while focusing on the front sight. Dry-fire practice focusing on the front sight at sear release will cure the problem.

The Ruger is a DA/SA, but we were shooting it SA for about 95% of the time. What a buttery smooth, light touch while shooting single action on the GP-100. I have to admit I have decent result while sitting down and putting the M9 on something to support it while shooting. It just bothers me to no end that I can't steady myself enough to control it. I seem to be more successful with other hg's, yet the feel of the M9 seems really comfortable.
Question: is there some way to change the trigger setting on the M9? Put a different spring in or something. What about the grip change you were talking about?
quote: "What about the grip change you were talking about?"
I meant that I'm now holding the grip as tight as I can; what I refer to as a "crush grip". It gives me a much steadier gun at the instant of sear release, as witnessed by the lack of front sight movement.
BTW, I shoot one-handed. ymmv.
Don't change anything. The M9 will, for the most part, tell you if your grip is wrong with a few FTE's or stovepipes. GO GET YOURSELF SOME SNAP CAPS AND INSERT THEM RANDOMLY IN YOUR MAGS BEFORE SHOOTING. While shooting, when you get to a cap instead of a bullet, you will find yourself pushing against the recoil involuntarily even though the gun didn't shoot. This and dry firing, are the best live training tools to cure your problem.
Do you have a friend or relative that is good at shooting? Have them shoot your gun and see what happens. Hell, I am sure a range worker would be more than willing to run through a mag or two for you... if they can hit good shots, that narrows down the problem to you. And, with all due respect, is probably the issue.

Exploring the Past, a unique access route to higher education at Cardiff University, has this year helped another seven local adult learners to transform their lives and progress onto a degree scheme.
Joanne Wesley-Williams, 40, and Penni Bestic, 59, are two of the seven students in total who have successfully completed the Exploring the Past Pathway through the Continuing & Professional Education and are now embarking on a degree at Cardiff University.
The award-winning Pathway is celebrating the completion of its second year having already secured degree places for two adult learners in the 2010/11 academic year. Run collaboratively by the Centre for Lifelong Learning and the School of History, Archaeology and Religion, it is designed to give adult learners the opportunity to experience research-led teaching first hand and progress towards studying a degree in archaeology, history or religion.
Like many other adult learners, Joanne missed out on higher education after leaving school. She decided to try the Pathway as a route back into education and used it as a means to better her life.
Joanne said: "As a mother of three young children it's important to be a positive role model, but educationally I had nothing to sing about after leaving school 25 years ago with just my GCSEs. I've now found a way to change that and feel much better placed when encouraging my children to study hard for the future. Each course has provided me with a different set of skills, broadening my knowledge and boosting my confidence. By the time I had completed a few modules I felt I was ready to further my education and now I have a completely new outlook for the future. I have been given an opportunity to return to study and hopefully carve a new career doing something I love."
After failing to find employment after redundancy and also battling with mental health issues, Penni decided to enrol on the Pathway and do something useful with her time.
Penni said: "I think when I started Exploring the Past I didn't really believe I would be doing a history degree but the amount of support from the tutors, both academic and pastoral, made it seem achievable. I think it has also helped my mental health, I still have a lot of self-management to do, but help from the student support services has makes this possible. I'm really enjoying my degree course so far. It's stretching but manageable. I am aware that I'm the oldest student but there are three of us who are definitely mature and we give it each other a lot of support. I'm very glad I did Exploring the Past as it was brilliant preparation. As to what I want to do when I finish: I'm not really sure as I will be close to retirement age. I think I would like to try and do a Masters."
The Exploring the Past Pathway provides students with real life changing opportunities which have been recognised by the Universities Association for Lifelong Learning (UALL) – the national body which represents part-time education in universities. The Pathway received a highly commended award from UALL in April 2012.
Courses are taught by people with both expert subject knowledge and the ability to support, inspire adult learners in a flexible timescale, framework and environment. More courses will be starting in January 2013.

Medical StaffAs required, we have a certified NATA trainer at our camp to attend to the medical needs of the campers.
Injury or illness while at camp
In the event of any injury or illness, each camper will be evaluated by the NATA certified trainer. He/She may recommend that your son sit out a session or revisit the trainer before the next session. Your son should follow the advice of the trainer as it is in his best interest to do so. If your son has not registered a complaint, the trainer cannot always know there is something wrong just by looking at a camper. In the event the trainer recommends your son see a physician, the trainer will try to contact you immediately. Please have your son prepared to drink a lot of fluids as heat related injuries are most common in summer.
In the event of injury or illness while at camp, your son will be taken to the UNC Hospital located within a mile of both the dorm and fields.

Arsenal travel to Old Trafford to take on Manchester United this weekend, and GunnersGaming make them 22/5 shots to come away with all three points.
The Football Predictor says they have a 20 per cent chance of doing that, with the draw a 24 per cent possibility and a home win a 54 per cent probability.
The Gunners have opened the scoring in the last 40 per cent of their away games, a decent stat against a side who have been conceding early in recent games.
They can be backed at 8/5 to score a goal in the first half, which could prove good value based on the first-half performances produced by Sir Alex Ferguson's side of late.
The Predictor also reveals that in the last 20 games on the road, 46 per cent of the 35 goals scored by Arsenal have been netted by forwards, 34 per cent by midfielders and 20 per cent by defenders.
Theo Walcott has the best scoring record in that period, and is 14/1 to bag the opener and 22/5 to score anytime.
In the last 20 matches, United have averaged 3.7 goals a game while Arsenal's average has been 2.8. Over 2.5 goals is priced up at 2/3 with GunnersGaming, who offer 32/20 about under.
The last time that Arsenal beat United at Old Trafford in the Premier League was back in the 2006/07 season, when they triumphed 1-0.
A repeat of that outcome is priced up at 23/2, although the Predictor suggests that a 1-1 draw could be on the cards and that scoreline is a 51/10 chance with GunnersGaming(LINK: https://www.gunnersgaming.com/start/gg/).

text: As I'm sitting here waiting for the doctor to call me back... I'm getting married in a little over a week. On Monday, I must have come in contact with poison ivy as I woke up Tuesday with a nice poison ivy rash. Wednesday as it took a greater presence on my face, I called the doctor, had an appointment, and was prescribed prednisone. Took 3 (20mg) pills first 2 days, 2 (20mg pills) today and tomorrow, and then 1 the next 2 days. Since Wednesday, I feel like the rash has spread and my face actually looks more red than the other day and now it's cover more of my arms than before (worse today than the last 2 days--2 days ago there was only a small spot above my wrist on my right arm, today it's covering about half of my right arm). Who has experience with prednisone? How long does it typically take to start working? I'm taking lots of benedryl to try and keep the itching in check, but... Now if only the doctor would call me back! He originally told me I should start seeing relief in 24-48 hours, but I'm just past the 48hr mark... On another note, who gets poison ivy a week and a half before her wedding? Me. I'm sure stress isn't helping, but I wasn't stressed at all about the wedding before the poison ivy!

Tyler & Ryan
November 17
New Orleans, Louisiana
Q & A with the Bride:
What was the one thing about your venue that made you know it was the one?
We really wanted to get married outside and have an outdoor reception. The Elms Mansion gave us both, as well as an elegant atmosphere. Everything about the venue is picturesque, starting with its location on the oak lined St. Charles Avenue.
Which details from your wedding were your favorites?
- One of our best friends married us. He got ordained online and conducted a very personal and memorable ceremony. He had everyone crying.
- My dad and stepdad walked me down the aisle together. They both mean a lot to me, so I felt privileged to be given away by them both.
- The band, TABOO [now The Phunky Monkeys]. Everyone danced all night. The band played everything from classic rock to rap, got out into the crowd, and got to know a few of our livelier guests!
- Our first dance was to a Joe Cocker song, which was the concert we went to on our first "date" (along with our best friend that married us)!
If you could offer one piece of advice for other couples planning their wedding, what would it be?
Stay true to your vision for the event. We wanted a small, intimate ceremony and reception with only close friends and family. We had around 160 guests and knew every face. We truly enjoyed ourselves visiting and catching up with our loved ones. We spent the night doing exactly what we wanted….dancing and laughing!
Give us the one moment in your wedding day you can't stop thinking about.
At the end of the night, the band led a New Orleans second line around the courtyard and over to our getaway car. Most of the guests were still there singing and dancing in the second line and waiving their handkerchiefs in the air.

According to THIS it looks like a different rail, different sights and some other changes.
I bought a Bersa Thunder 9 HC a year ago, just before the Pro models came out. It has the loaded chamber indicator, polygonal barrel, rail, and no lock. OK, now what does the PRO model have that mine does not have?
No, mine has the rail, new sights, polygonal rifling, and all the other visible new stuff......it just isn't marked "Pro" anywhere on the gun. I emailed the importer with the serial number and so on to find out just what I have. I suspect it is a "Pro" made before they began using the term, but I would like to hear that from the horse's mouth. I'm especially interested in knowing if my gun has the new, beefed up firing pin. Thanks for the link, VAMarine. I'll study it some more. I'll let you know what the importer says when I hear from them.
.....and just between us, I really wanted the one without the rail and would buy one if I could find it NIB. If I wanted bomb racks on my gun I'll put them on myself....heh. Thanks again.
For information, I checked with the importer today and asked if I indeed do have a "Pro" that was made before they started stamping "Pro" on them and they said yes. As long as it has the picatinny rail, new series sights, and loaded chamber indicator, it it the "Pro". According to them, they could not stamp them as such until the U.S. Government approved the importation of the new model, so they went ahead and imported them without the word "Pro" stamped on them. I have one of the interim guns without the stamping, as I suspected.
Never much looked to see if the word pro was on your gun but it looked like mine.
Over at Bersa Talk they call it a Franken Gun. Some of the HC9mm came over with a mix. they had the new frame with the new rail on the dust cover and the indicator and all but they had the normal barrel that came in the older HC9mm. The new pistol has the match grade barrel. I have had my Pro apart and looked at the barrel closely and it is different than the barrel that was on my UC9. The lands and grooves are shaped differently.
So you may have a Pre Pro Pro. Or a Franken Gun.
That barrel will tell the story.
If they are squared off like the Conventional Rifling
You have a Franken Gun. If they are like the Polygon in the lower left corner of the picture then it is a Pre ProPro.
I got mine a while ago and it is the Frankin gun. Personally I would rather have the conventional barrel.
Either way it is a great shooter. Maybe someday it will be sort of a collectors piece?
The only benefit to having the normal riffling is being able to shoot lead ammo.
The polygon riffling is normally an improvement over standard. My BHC9pro has been a good shooting gun right out of the box. No sight adjustments needed and right on target with every shot.

Lost my 50 ft auger cable down 4th floor bathroom sink drain of a 5 story apartment building. Know where it is but really don't want to cut hole in wall then pipe.Will toilet flushes and faucet usage push it on down and away or will leaving it in there cause a mess? Is a retrieving auger the best way to get it?
No announcement yet.

Re: Lost my auger cable
USE YOUR HEAD MAN! keep your mouth shut. Hire R.Rooter, THEN BLAME THEM! I love being IRISHI can build anything You want , if you draw a picture of it , on the back of a big enough check .
Re: Lost my auger cable
You have to get that thing out, I have been stuck in other peoples cables before, and they will cause stoppages time and time again and some other guy will get his cable stuck.
Do the right thing, get it out. If not, Im sure it will come back to you someday.
Re: Lost my auger cable
I don't even want to know why you have 50' of cable in an apartment bathroom sink.
Re: Lost my auger cable
could it be that the 4th floor sink was the only one on the stack and the stoppage was at ground floor 40' below i doubt it, but it's possible
remember that between gravity and a stoppage, that little cable will be stressed out on a long run, especially a vertical drop. also it's very difficult to get a real feel for a stoppage on a long vertical drop with a flimsy cable. gravity wants to suck it down, but you have no real feel what the cable is doing.
drain cleaning is more than just sticking a cable into a line. same could be said for fishing. why is it that some never catch a fish all day long while others will reel in their limits
that cable will cause problems if not removed. and the longer it sits, the harder it's going to be to get it out.
can you pull it out from below?
rick.phoebe it is

I was thinking the same thing, glad you asked the question
Re: Lost my auger cable
Cut the wall. Better to look stupid now to higher ups, than later when you have to call out AAA Superrooter plumbing at 2am because that cable is causing a flood.
If you can't get it out, call someone that can. Ya you're gonna spend money maybe to get it out, but if you can't get it out yourself, you are going to spend money anyways to get the line unstopped, and it may be at a bad time so emergency call on top of that.
And if he goes in blind and gets his cable hung up because you were not there to warn him... Bad stuff man.

New Orleans conjures images of Creole Townhouses with iron lace balconies. It calls to mind intimate courtyards and lush gardens. New Orleans means music and art and culture. That's why people travel here. That's why they stay in New Orleans bed and breakfasts.
Much of what defines New Orleans is found in the French Quarter on Royal Street, between Canal Street and Esplanade Avenue. Historic buildings dating from the 18th and 19th centuries stand shoulder to shoulder – some private residences, some New Orleans bed and breakfasts, some shops and restaurants. Merely walking down the street can be an extraordinary experience for travelers, especially when musicians and performance artists are at work.
If time permits, the shops and galleries of Royal Street have much to offer. Indeed, it is said that Royal Street is one of the best places in the country to shop for antiques. Visit the French Antique Shop, a New Orleans treasure since 1939. M.S. Rau Antiques has been landmark in the French Quarter for nearly a century, and Royal Antiques has been in the business since 1899. In short, if you are looking for well-regarded and well-established antique shops, head to Royal Street.
Ask the innkeepers of your New Orleans b&b about their favorite places to find treasures on Royal Street; the advice of a local is priceless.

This short clip is spoken in German but its totally understandable in any language.
So papa, how do you like the iPad we got you? - Snotr

'"I believe I am a better coach today than I was five years ago," he said. "Back then, I just did it, I didn't analyse what I was doing. But now, I have spoken to so many different groups — police officers, businesses, students — and hockey's no different than those lines of work. It really is about motivating people and keeping them motivated. And there's only so many ways to tell someone to put the puck in the net. You can only rearrange the furniture so many times."'

Memories of Bisley
Robert Baker

As A Boy
I went to Bisley Boys School in 1948 after my mother passed away. I found it very hard and would run away. It was a horrible place and I do not have a good thing to say about it. Was given the cane more times than I can remember and was bullied all the time. If they did the things to any one today they would end up in court.
Postcard From My Grandfather
My grandfather died in 1928 after having been gassed in WW1. I have a postcard from him to my uncle dated March 1928. The house looks somewhat different from the photo here but I have no idea when the photo printed was taken.

Hey everyone,
So i've read the blind laws and the local laws in my area. I built a blind for my old 14' aluminum boat. Regarding the blind laws, what does the license tag for a licensed blind look like? I understand I need to stay 500 yards away. And, how about distance I should stay away from a house? Is there any guidance on this, or should I just use good judgement on this one.
Mostly i'll be hunting shallower marshy areas near the mouth of the Rappahannock.
On the decoys, my spread is about 24 birds, bluebills (mostly), bufflehead and some puddle ducks. I have a few mallards too. I'm in the mood for an early christmas present, any suggestions to what I can add?
