A couple of things have set me off on this topic.
1. I was pretty sure that I came across a recipe for Wirt Shino. I did not know the woman, or that her first name was Judy
2.I was mixing up some tests and came across some wacky glazes in my glaze drawer.
1.The glaze must work. Indicate temperature and wether oxidation or reduction
2.Don't make up stuff at this point. This has to be a glaze that you have been given or traded.
3. Shameless name dropping is O.K., as we want to hear the story of where it came from, andwho gave it to you.
I'll start;
Schambinski and Jawalski Special Cone 10 Reduct.
Albany 60
Ger. Bor. 20
Whiting 10
Barium 10
add copper carb3%
Runs like an ash glaze[extremely runny]{green transparent}
This glaze came from my former prof.,Robert Archambeau [Schambinski] He is a prof emeritus from the U. of Manitoba school of art.[see Ceramics monthly this issue. I haven't used the glaze in thirty years,but would sub out the Barium.
Another glaze I remember from when I was at Alfred is from Mary Jo Bole
It is called; "Greeny Gloopy Gloppy, Greeny", and is a low fire glaze that is greeny and gloppy.
Your turn!
Greetings of the season from Tom Roberts[TJR].

If you look and find cells with only a white shiny liquid or ones with liquid and larvae then your good. Unless you rolled the queen your over worrying. One of those nucs had a lot of honey in it. They won't need to be as active. The fresh drawn frames will be easiest to find what your looking for Bailey
moots, I will be in Sorrento tomorrow for most of the day.if you like I can swing by and we can take a look.
i took a quick run through my hives yesterday and half of them have a good bit of fresh nectar and the other half didn't have any. my strongest hive is my least active hive and it has the most stores from last season. i'm with bailey, i think you're getting worked up over what will most likely turn out to be nothing more than the difference between the two hives. each colony has a "personality" of it's own. if you take a frame of eggs from the other hive they will be able to raise a queen. that only helps if you have mature drones and from some of the previous posts from your area i'm pretty certain you do. relax, and take a look saturday. remember to start with outside frames that way you are less likely to roll the queen.
With this crazy weather we are having lately my bees are acting different from day to day. One day they bringing in tons of pollen and the next day nothing. As long as your hive has some honey, pollen and eggs it should be good to go. As soon as we get a good stretch of weather they should start taking off. I work in Reserve so if you ever need some help give me a shout.
Moot. Breathe. If you didn't roll the queen they are fine. You saw her going into your nuc. She will do fine. Let Shawnee take a look today he will show ya what your looking for. I'm going to ask Shawee to bring you a drawn comb. That nuc might be a bit full of honey. A drawn comb will start em up!Bailey.

Re: Boat Visit!
Look at several boats before you buy.
Re: Boat Visit!
Nice post, James.. to follow up a little on this comment:
Don't let his or her presence stop you from inspecting or testing anything that would not damage the boat. Ask if you have any doubts about whether something will damage the boat.
But you don't want to whip out a 5 ib ball peen hammer for this..... one of the handiest tools for this is a stubby screwdriver, used upside down as tap tester. It's small and fits easily into any pocket, and doesn't appear threatening or 'dangerous' to the seller.
Also don't wear soft, bouncy soled shoes.. (like the 'air' soles some sell).. that can feel like bouncy decks underfoot.
Re: Boat Visit!
A very good resource is Don Casey's "Complete Illustrated Sailboat Maintenance Manual", the first section of which is entitled "Inspecting the Aging Sailboat", required reading for all saavy boat buyers.
I submitted the following questions to every seller before scheduling an appointment:
How long have you owned the boat?
Why did you decide to sell?
Do you have a certificate of title?
Has the engine been rebuilt?
How old are the sails and what is their condition?
Has there been any osmotic blistering, boat pox, or delamination of the hull?
Is there any spider cracking on the hull?
What is the condition of the gelcoat on the hull?
Is there any leaking at the hull/deck joint?
Is there any wet core in, delamination of, or soft spots on the deck?
Is there spider cracking on the deck? Around the stanchions?
Are the chainplates leaking? Is there any evidence of water in the bulkheads? Staining?
Has the boat ever sunk or had water inside at a level above the floorboards?
Does the electrical system work?
Has the boat ever been declared/determined to be a total loss by an insurance company?
Does anything need to be done in order for the boat to be cruise ready?
You should do the same. You will immediately eliminate the scammers, the low motivation sellers, the no motivation sellers, the con artists, the "Get Rich Quick Selling Used Sailboats" sellers and the unreasonable sellers.
I don't know about your area, but here in the Chesapeake, the market is even softer than it was 2 years ago and it appears folks cannot give away their used sailboats, even the decent looking ones.
You should be able to find a motivated seller with a good first boat for you. You want the seller to be there so you can gain even more information, gauge the seller's motivation, and establish some rapport. After all, you will be dealing with a real live human being, with thoughts and feelings. Don't let his or her presence stop you from inspecting or testing anything that would not damage the boat. Ask if you have any doubts about whether something will damage the boat.
Re: Boat Visit!
I agree with everyone else, walk away. there are too many boats out there to buy one that you think is going to have problems, unless you understand what those problems are and what it will cost to fix them, and are OK with both. As I understand it, the Volvo diesels have a reputation for being a bit problematic - but my understanding is based on what I've read, not any first-hand experience or ownership, so take that with a grain of salt.
You also have to expect these kinds of things, unfortunately. Its frustrating, but your opinion of an "acceptable" boat and the sellers will vary drastically. I remember one that I drove 3+ hours to visit that the seller swore was in good condition and was perfectly fine for a family, plus he had a trailer to be able to move it home easily. Once I got there, I saw that it needed a good 3-4 months of work before I could let my wife and kids aboard, the trailer had 2 flat tires and rusted rims, and the area near the tow receiver was practically rusted through. It's annoying when stuff like that happens, but it will happen. I tend to look at those as learning exercises, though. You've been aboard a boat and now know what that model looks like, and where some of the oil and fuel collect on a C27's bilge, so you know where to look in the future.
Regarding specific models, I really thought I'd wind up with a C27 this time around (after having a C25). Then, one day, after discussing what I was looking for in a boat, a broker suggested I check out a C30 he had for sale. I didn't think I'd like it - too big, too much money. Boy was I wrong. The companionway made the boat feel welcoming, and the cabin and cockpit were well laid out for my family's needs. I ultimately didn't buy a C30, but that was more because I couldn't find one in my price range that was anywhere near me than by true choice. I still think I wound up with the better boat choice for what I want in a boat, but the C30 is a great choice.
I also have to say that I respectfully disagree with James. I loved it when sellers offered me the combo to their boat. It meant I could go to the boat at my convenience (as opposed to when our schedules and the weather matched up), I could take as long as I wanted to look over the boat, and I could ook EVERYWHERE I wanted, without the seller standing over my shoulder or trying to steer me toward this or that "feature" (and away from problems). I can see where James would think that is a disinterested seller, but I took it entirely differently. Granted, that only happened a few times to me, and I think they all offered to meet me if I wanted to, the flexibility that afforded me was greatly appreciated.

Re: Boat Visit!
Don't fall in love with any boats until after the survey. Look at lots of boats and assume that they'll all be a disaster. Eventually you'll find a good one with a good seller.
On the lower end of the market (under $10k I'd say) this is doubly true.
Re: Boat Visit!
Walk away. Honesty from the beginning not being there with the pictures is a clue and portend of other dishonesties.
BTW the Volvo Penta is not at the top of the engines I personally like and would scuttle my deal as they are expensive to fix and find parts for. IMHO
Ericson is a much nice boat. Find the size range and brand and when comparing choose the one in best overall condition. Remember electronics and can be updated. Hull integrity, room, etc can not.
Re: Boat Visit!
People will treat you the way you allow yourself to be treated.
If you act as if (1) your time is valuable, (2) you know what you are doing, and (3) you realize this is a buyer's market, you can avoid trips like this one.
Frankly, it appears the seller abused you. Demand more information from the seller before you spend your valuable time on the road.
I had a seller or two who offered to allow me to visit their boat after giving me the combination or location of a key to the lock. I declined. That type of seller is not motivated.

Re: Boat Visit!
A bilge full of water, oil and fuel shortly after launch? A disinterested seller? Time to move on.
I don't believe there's a 'good' or 'bad' time to buy. I think it's all about finding 'the' boat with a motivated seller, or at least an honest, open one. Unfortunately the ratio of bad to good viewings is generally high. Probably the better situation to find is one where a fastidious owner has 'moved up' and now has a good example that he/she really needs to sell. However these examples probably move quickly, esp compared to the very common situation you ran into just now.

Online guide welcomes Appalachian Trail hikers
ROB BURBANK | March 01. 2014 12:33AM
Yet, every year, about 3,000 hikers make just such a plan as they set out to walk the entire Appalachian National Scenic Trail (A.T.), from Springer Mountain in Georgia to Katahdin in Maine.
The trail's length varies from time to time, given occasional relocations of some segments. It's currently a 2,186-mile route, and it passes through New Hampshire's White Mountains along the way. Hikers remark on the ruggedness of the terrain and the beauty of the scenery surrounding the trail in the Granite State.

Hydrogen (H2) is being explored as a fuel for passenger vehicles. It can be used in fuel cells to power electric motors or burned in internal combustion engines (ICEs).
It is an environmentally friendly fuel that has the potential to dramatically reduce our dependence on imported oil, but several significant challenges must be overcome before it can be widely used.
Produced Domestically. Hydrogen can be produced domestically from several sources, reducing our dependence on petroleum imports.
Environmentally Friendly. Hydrogen produces no air pollutants or greenhouse gases when used in fuel cells; it produces only nitrogen oxides (NOx) when burned in ICEs.
Availability. Hydrogen is only available at a handful of locations, mostly in California, though more hydrogen fuelling stations are planned for the future.
Vehicle Cost & Availability. Fuel cell vehicles (FCVs), which run on hydrogen, are currently more expensive than conventional vehicles, and they are not yet available for sale to the general public. However, costs have decreased significantly, and commercially available FCVs are expected within the next few years.
Onboard Fuel Storage. Hydrogen contains much less energy than gasoline or diesel on a per-volume basis, making it difficult to store enough hydrogen onboard an FCV to go as far as a comparable gasoline vehicle between fillups. Some FCVs have recently demonstrated ranges comparable to conventional vehicles—about 300 to 400 miles between fillups—but this must be achievable across different vehicle makes and models and without compromising customer expectations of space, performance, safety, or cost.
Other challenges related to FCVs must also be overcome.

Tighten the screws tighter on gun control in Oklahoma City. This will help the bad guys feel more at ease, with less stress. What a nice assho#e this police chief is. He would be wright at home in Washington D C.
Living in OKC, I can say, most of the OKCPD officers are anti-gun. Hell, I even got flack one day for having a kershaw spring assisted knife along with a pocket keltec. They tried taking me to jail for a handfun violation since I said "hello" instead of "I have a CC permit" as my first statement. It wasn't until asking for a supervisor that they cooled down.
I can say, ok county sheriff and OKC mayor are both pro-gun.
I have an idea, why not criminal control? I guess actually doing something to get at the root of the problem is probly a dumb idea!!
You would think that common sense (with regards to firearms) would prevail in a city where a truck load of fertilizer did more damage than any gun ever has, ever.
i think this is fitting here. this is from todays Patriot Post........
"Every time there's a highly publicized shooting, out go the cries for stricter gun control laws... Gun control laws will not protect us from murderers. We need protection from the criminal justice system politicians have created... If there is one clear basic function of government, it's to protect citizens from criminals... We hear calls for stricter gun control laws when what is really needed is more control over criminals. There are many third-party liability laws. I think they ought to be applied to members of parole boards who release criminals who turn around and commit violent crimes. As it stands now, people on parole boards who release criminals bear no cost of their decisions. I bet that if members of parole boards were held liable or forced to serve the balance of the sentence of a parolee who goes out and commits more crime, they would pay more attention to the welfare of the community rather than the welfare of a criminal. You say, 'Williams, under those conditions, who'd serve on a parole board?' There's something to be said about that." —Walter Williams
Not a bad idea Pirate,If they used it in a good way.I was put on house arrest for a OVI(DUI IN OTHER STATES) conciction in Ohio.6 months wiyh a box straped to my leg.Only aloud to and from work during the hours they aloud me.It cost me $200A week in lost wages and now I am letting my house go.A judge could monater you for a speeding ticket since that is a crime.:pissed:

Police say three teens charged in last week's fatal shooting of 18-year-old Mackenzie Smyser have confessed to roles in what is being described as a premeditated murder.
According to Kentucky State Police Post 4 spokesman Bruce Reeves, Connor Jordan Galenski, Jason William Gowers and Ryan Wilt of Louisville admitted to investigators to that they took part in Smyser's killing last Tuesday during interviews.
A tip to Louisville Metro Police helped Kentucky State Police in Elizabethtown locate Smyser's body near Patriot Lane, just off Ky. 313.
Smyser was shot in the face and chest, according to arrest warrants for the teens.
Reeves said police believe Wilt, who resides on Kentucky Avenue in Louisville, drove the car that brought Smyser to Hardin County.
The killing, according to police, was planned.
Gowers' grandmother, Margaret Young, said earlier this week that Smyser's killing stemmed from a dispute over $130.
All three suspects are due in court Monday for probable cause hearings. The cases likely will be sent to a grand jury for review for possible indictment.
Bob White can be reached at (270) 505-1750.

Media ignore facts undermining "Reaganesque" Fred Thompson's image as anti-Washington populist
Research ››› ››› KATHLEEN HENEHAN
On the June 3 edition of Fox Broadcasting Co.'s Fox News Sunday, Fortune magazine Washington bureau chief Nina Easton said of former Sen. Fred Thompson's (R-TN) possible 2008 presidential bid: "He's going to be posing himself very much as an anti-Washington populist, very much like when he drove his red pickup around the state in 1994 in his Senate race. He's good at that sensibility. There's going to be a lot of talk about his Reaganesque appeal." Easton's suggestion that Thompson will display an "anti-Washington" sensibility and "Reaganesque appeal" echoes characterizations of him advanced by Republicans and conservatives and adopted by several other news outlets and media figures. But contrary to those who portray Thompson as an outsider, he spent 18 years as a lobbyist, and reports indicate that he was not above partisan politics during his eight years as a U.S. senator. Moreover, several observers characterized Thompson's first speech in the run-up to an expected presidential bid as disappointing.
The "anti-Washington populist"
In her comments on Fox News Sunday, Easton claimed that Thompson will present himself as an "anti-Washington populist" and claimed that he is "good at that sensibility," but she did not provide information that undermines that image. First, as Media Matters for America noted when The Washington Post reported that Thompson "will offer himself as a down-home antidote to Washington politics," as chairman of the Senate Governmental Affairs committee in 1997, Thompson reportedly suspended an investigation into campaign finance abuses "[a]fter Republicans expressed concern that the Senate campaign-finance investigation could lead to a probe of GOP practices," as The Boston Globe reported (fee required) on November 1, 1997. The Los Angeles Times (fee required) also reported on the same day that Democrats "had planned to call witnesses to show" that Sens. Don Nickles (R-OK) and Sam Brownback (R-KS), both members of the committee, were involved in questionable fundraising practices.
Second, prior to his election to the U.S. Senate, Thompson spent 18 years as a lobbyist, during which he reportedly represented a company facing billions of dollars in asbestos claims. An article in the April 30 edition of New York Magazine noted that "[c]ritics point out that Thompson's aw-shucks, shit-kicker populism is more than a little bit phony" because "he spent eighteen years as a registered Washington lobbyist, doing the bidding of such high-powered clients as General Electric and Westinghouse, pushing for the passage of the deregulatory legislation that led to the savings-and-loan crisis of the eighties."
Moreover, Easton noted how Thompson "drove his red pickup around" Tennessee during his 1994 Senate campaign, but she did not mention that the "red pickup" was a leased campaign prop. Indeed, as Media Matters noted, a March 18 article by The (Nashville) Tennessean described Tom Ingram, who worked on Thompson's campaign, as "the political mastermind who had a hand in revamping Thompson's image by putting him behind the wheel of the truck." The Tennessean reported that "on Aug. 5, 1994" -- just three months prior to a special election for the Senate seat Al Gore had vacated following his election as vice president -- "Senate candidate Fred Thompson parked his black Lincoln Continental and started driving" the truck. The article further noted that the truck was leased by the campaign.
"Reaganesque" communication skills
Others in the media simply assert that Thompson is Reaganesque or possesses former President Ronald Reagan's communication skills, apparently based on his acting career and "star power":
- On the May 31 edition of ABC's Good Morning America, guest host Elizabeth Vargas stated that the Republican presidential race is "about to get a shot of adrenaline from a man known to millions for his star turns on television and in the movies" and proceeded to tell ABC News chief Washington correspondent George Stephanopoulos: "George, there were two references in just one of the many newspaper articles this morning that compared Fred Thompson to Ronald Reagan. One of them said, quote, 'He has Reaganesque communication skills.' He has got to like that." Stephanopoulos responded: "Oh, no question about it, Elizabeth. A lot of Republicans, a lot of conservatives look at Fred Thompson and they see Ronald Reagan, a great communicator, a clear conservative with crossover appeal to non-Republicans and Democrats, and as you point out, he has real star power."
While Vargas was making her comments, side-by-side photographs of Thompson and Reagan appeared on screen:
- On the June 3 edition of NBC-syndicated The Chris Matthews Show, NBC News White House correspondent Kelly O'Donnell claimed that Thompson has "got that Ronald Reagan factor that is an echo for a lot of people that they love. If he can perform, if he can use all the skills ... that he obtained as an actor, mix that with what conservatives are looking for, I think he could be ... a real player."
But Thompson drew criticism for his May 4 speech at the Lincoln Club of Orange County in Newport Beach, California. Syndicated columnist Robert D. Novak wrote on May 7:
"It was not Reaganesque." "No red meat." "Too low key." That was the preponderant reaction I heard to Thompson's half-hour presentation (leavened by a few favorable comments, mostly by women, that he was more "statesmanlike" and "presidential" than the announced candidates). Lincoln Club members, like many conservative Republicans, have been unimpressed by the existing field of Republican hopefuls and envisioned Thompson as the second coming of Ronald Reagan. They did not get it Friday night.
Surprisingly for such an experienced performer, however, Thompson had trouble with the podium microphone as his low, conversational tones faded in and out. He ended his speech on a down note by reporting a recent visit to 6-year-old schoolchildren and what they had told him. Thompson worried that the long Lincoln Club program preceding his speech may have turned off the audience, but he may have been the one who lost his enthusiasm.
Novak revisited the issue of Thompson's first speech in a May 31 column, suggesting that hype over Thompson's communication skills may have been solely based on his career as an actor:
Discarding a speech he had written himself, Thompson ad-libbed from handwritten notes. It was not the second coming of Ronald Reagan that the Californians envisioned. Was all the excitement about Thompson engendered merely by his television role as a formidable Manhattan district attorney on "Law and Order"?
He stuck to his prepared cards for his second speech, at a state Republican Party function in Stamford, Conn., last week, and it was a considerable improvement.
On the June 2 edition of CNBC's Tim Russert, NBC News chief foreign correspondent Andrea Mitchell similarly noted that Thompson's "debut speech ... was not successful. It was very halting and reading from notes." Further, in a May 9 article, US News and World Report chief White House correspondent Kenneth T. Walsh reported that the speech "seemed underwhelming. He talked about the need for lower taxes, smaller government, and a strong national defense -- surefire conservative talking points -- but he didn't convey the excitement that Republicans are looking for. Media reports suggested that the attendees liked his message but were surprised that he didn't have the charisma they had been expecting."
Additionally, in a May 24 online column, Time editor at large and senior political analyst Mark Halperin used the May 4 speech to counter the common description of Thompson as "Reaganesque":
But unlike the genial Reagan, Thompson's manner can be brusque and his most natural expression is a scowl. Critics question his endurance: he has a reputation for resisting a demanding schedule and is undisciplined as a campaigner. In a recent speech to California Republicans, Thompson began with some jokes that were well received but then abandoned his carefully written text and rambled through remarks that left many in the audience underwhelmed.
From the June 3 edition of Fox Broadcasting Co.'s Fox News Sunday:
CHRIS WALLACE (host): Well, let's talk reality, Nina. I mean, the two knocks -- and [Fox News Washington bureau chief] Brit [Hume] referred to them -- are, one, that he did not have the most distinguished record as a senator, and, two, that he may not be the hardest worker in the political fields. How legitimate do you think those two knocks are?
EASTON: I think those are extremely legitimate. I mean, he's an actor -- he understands the importance of good timing -- and what better timing than this weekend, with frustration among conservatives at a high to jump into this race? He's going to be posing himself very much as an anti-Washington populist, very much like when he drove his red pickup around the state in 1994 in his Senate race. He's good at that sensibility.
There's going to be a lot of talk about his Reaganesque appeal. Ronald Reagan, however, ran a state.
And when you look at Fred Thompson and the three top contenders that he'll be up against, all of whom have done something very, very substantial and concrete -- and the question will keep coming up about Senator Thompson: "What have you done?"
From the May 31 edition of ABC's Good Morning America:
VARGAS: Now to the race for '08: It's about to get a shot of adrenaline from a man known to millions for his star turns on television and in the movies, former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson. Even from the sidelines, he's been running high in the polls and now he's about to toss his hat in the ring for the Republican presidential nomination, a move that could shake up the field. Joining us now live from Washington is ABC's chief Washington correspondent George Stephanopoulos.
George, there were two references in just one of the many newspaper articles this morning that compared Fred Thompson to Ronald Reagan. One of them said, quote, "He has Reaganesque communication skills." He has got to like that.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Oh, no question about it, Elizabeth. A lot of Republicans, a lot of conservatives look at Fred Thompson and they see Ronald Reagan, a great communicator, a clear conservative with crossover appeal to non-Republicans and Democrats, and as you point out, he has real star power. So, if he gets into this race -- and I just spoke to one of his aides moments ago who said the decision is likely to come in the first week of July -- if he gets in, he will change the race the day he gets in, Elizabeth. All of the front-runners -- Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, John McCain -- will take a hit immediately and the rest of the field will just get swamped.
STEPAHANOPOULOS: But he can also expect questions about his one term in the Senate, whether it's a thin record or not. Democrats are already raising questions about that. He could also face questions, Elizabeth, about his health. About a month ago, he announced that he had a form of indolent lymphoma. He says he has no symptoms, no recurrence, but he'll get questions about that as well.
VARGAS: He will indeed, but as we hear those comparisons to Ronald Reagan this morning -- also another former actor -- it's interesting. Thanks so much, George.
Chris, that -- one of the many roles that Fred Thompson has played in many movie careers -- or in many movies, has been that of president. So a lot of people know him from his work in front of the camera.
CHRIS CUOMO (co-anchor): Maybe it gives him a little bit of a head start.
VARGAS: Hmm, just a tiny one.
From the June 3 edition of NBC-syndicated The Chris Matthews Show:
CHRIS MATTHEWS (host): So he's not a big a threat as Rudy.
O'DONNELL: But he's got that Ronald Reagan factor that is an echo for a lot of people that they love. If he can perform, if he can use all the skills as -- that he obtained as an actor, mix that with what conservatives are looking for, I think he could be -- he could be a real player.
From the June 2 edition of CNBC's Tim Russert:
MITCHELL: In fact, Thompson's first -- his debut speech in Orange County, California, was not successful. It was very halting and reading from notes. Then he has performed better in subsequent speeches, in Stamford, Connecticut, for instance. But the thing about him is that he's also a fiscal conservative. If you look at his -- the few interviews that he has done, he emphasizes bedrock Reaganesque positions on fiscal conservatism, pay as you go. And there's no one else in this group of Republican candidates who is as authentic as Fred Thompson on that conservative stream.

Looking into a new womans bow maybe Hoyt Selena
Hey there everyone, I am new to this board and trying to get a feel for the whole thing. I have never posted on boards before.
So anyway, I have only been shooting for a couple of months now and I love it. I am currently shooting a Martin Jaguar. It seems to be a pretty good bow but I am looking for something a little smoother, a little lighter, and a little quicker. I was looking into maybe getting that new Hoyt Selena. I have never shot a split limb before is there much of a difference? Also since there are no retail stores around here that actually stock Hoyt if I want this thing I basicly have to buy it blind. I mean they will have to order it for me, so I will be paying for it before I ever get to check it out. So I guess I kinda got to know that that is exactly what I want.
What are the pros and cons about Hoyt bows?
Does anyone know maybe what the going rate is for Selena is?
Also I am looking for a target buddy to shoot with. I am in the Terre Haute area, so if there is anyone interested in hangin out on a weekend to target shoot drop me a line and we can set something up.

I dont know anything about the selena bow, but hoyt makes good stuff, as do others, It would be alot better if you could shoot it, but sometimes that just wont work out, and the chance is up to you, I have shot hoyts for along time, and they do what I expect of them. Good luck!!

I bought one for my wife. She loves it. I shoot a trykon and before that an ultramag. She now shoots a selena. If I remember correctly bare bow was between 500 and 600 out the door closer to the 600. The bow is a typical hoyt high end bow. She is pulling 35 lbs and gets 200 fps. It is a silent shooter. It is basially like every other hoyt. My wife doesnt complain of vibration. The cam and a half is a little tricky to tune, but once you know how it is easy. Let the bow shop set up the timing and draw length. Another thing to look at is draw lenght try to keep her in the high end of the cam meaning if her draw is 25 inches try to keep the max of the draw range of the bow as close to her draw length. This will give her more speed because she will be using the full performance of the cam. Also if she wants to pull more weight later you can replace the limbs for more weight. I believe that if my wife has a good time and has quality equiptment that allows her to shoot well and comfortable she will enjoy the sport more. Now she is hunting and target shooting with me I have a shooting partner for life. If this didn't tell you what you needed to know I'll keep watching this post for more questions. Thanks

Not to hijack the thread, but you ever been to the dirt track in terre Haute, I have seen it on tv, but never been their in person, have some great sprint car action their.....
I have to say it is really nice to hear good stuff about this bow.. You know how it is when you think you already have your mind made up.. I have been looking at this bow for a couple of months now. Now they have the new 2007 out it and its a pretty little thing!! Weighs only bout 3lbs.
My draw is right about at 26 inch, with a d-ring I guess I am right about 26 1/2. I am currently pulling right at 53 lbs and its an easy enough draw that I shoot for hours at a time.
I am actually pretty new to the compound bow world. I just started shooting a couple of months ago. Once I picked it up I couldnt put it down. I started out with a PSE Deerhunter.. It didnt take me long to figure out that the PSE Deerhunter was piece of crap bow. I mean I could shoot pretty good with it but I hated it. It just didnt have a good feel. So I upgraded to a Martin Jaguar. It has been smooth sailing every since. As for sights I have a truglo five pin. I have it sighted up to 60 yards. I am really precisely acurate up to 40 (shooting arrows inside of arrows) but my fifty flexes at about a 10 inch group and my sixty is right around 12 to 14 inch groups. (if you can even call that a group)
I am basicly teaching myself to shoot because I dont know anyone around here who shoots. Any suggestions on pulling those distant groups a little closer?
By the way thank you for the info on Selena.. I think she become the newest member of my family..

Welcome to the board. You might want to try the womens board on archery talk many gals there own this bow. My first was a Martin they make good bows. I now own a Hoyt Cybertec which is no longer made. It is like night and day between the two makes. Hoyts are very smooth and the Selena is just made for women. One of my next buys when i up my poundage. Look at the Hoyt web site to find a store near you. All you have to do is add your sip and it shall list store that carry them.
Good Luck and happy shooting.
The Terre Haute Dirt Track
I love the smell of Nitros in the morning!
Really I love the tracks here, they are well maintained, and always exciting... then again its racing... Whats not to love?
Just a suggestion but with what your pulling and draw length you don't need to limit yourself to womens bows. at 26 1/2 inc draw and 53 pounds your in the short draw cat but out of the womens cat.
I would look into the Bowtech Equalizer, INSANELY fast and I have yet to hear one negative comment about it (other then price)
Martin has several short draw bows as do a very large number of other manufacturers. Once you break that 26" barrier and the 50 pound barrier you have lots of options available.No I'm not dead
Hoyt Selena VS Bowtech Equalizer
Well actually the Bowtech Equalizer was the other bow I was looking at in comparison to the Hoyt Selena.
I guess in this comparison I was trying to decide if I wanted a split limb or solid. I hear its a matter of preference, but I have never shot split limb before. Is there anything I should know about the differences between them?
As for price they both seem to be running about the same. Between 550 and 600 for either one. I havent found them any cheaper anywhere. Both are within a 1/2 lb of eachother, Selena at 3 lbs and Equalizer at 3.5. But the Bowtech seems to offer more IBO speed between 294-302, and the Hoyt just lists a flat 287. So if I am pulling on the higher end of the draw length say 26 inch draw and the rated weight for the bow is 60 lbs and say I am pulling 54 lbs, with a 65% letoff how do I know what my IBO is? I want to maximize the speed I get out my bow, but I dont want to kill myself. I am comfortable with the weight I am pulling right now.

there really isn't much difference between the split limb and solid limb other then looks.No I'm not dead
how about slinging a few thru a Mathews Mustang and letting us all know the difference in how all of them feel against each other.........for that matter and 26" 50lbs you could shoot an original switchback......you are one of those lucky people who can get all of the intermediate draw length and weight bows.....I cut things up and split them down!

really the ibo is not realistic. They are shooting the longest draw with an arrow with no vanes, a string with no silencing or any thing. I guess you could look at it as the best case senario. One thing with the solid limb bows is that the limbs crack up the middle. The split limb bows do not do that. Also in my opinion the split limb is quieter. A suggestion to pull your groups in tighter would be shoot your arrows through paper to check your arrow flight and the spine of your arrows. I would have to say those groups are really good. Look into a sight that has a 3rd axis or a level that can improve your left and right. After all if you are not square to your target and keep elevating your pin you might be actually moving the sight to say the two o'clock position or the two o'clock. If you are squared up with the target meaning level with the target. good luck I hope this helps.

Hey rdnk girl, I would like to recomend to get you some good instuction videos or dvd's on archery form before you get to far along, it will be of emenise value to you. Also the longer a bow you can handle the better off you will be in my opinion. I shoot a shadow cat with a 41 " axel to axel on targets and if Martin made a longer bow I would be shooting it..They are better shooters and much easier to handle for form if it is targets you are into now. I do like a short bow for hunting from stands and am looking into a 31" of some sorts but have yet to ask the gang here what's new and whats smoothest , I love the smooth stuff for It allows me to relax in my shot form begining to end of the which I think Martin is king of smooth. Maybe there is a indoors leauge or shop that will help you out, this will be ever so vital to forming the right habits with dat shot and will stay with for the rest of your day's, God Bless and straight shootin' Holy smokes

Well hello there my fellow HOOSIER and to the forum. I work in Terre Haute. Where do you shoot, Gander??????? Terre Haute needs another bow shop like Wilderness Shop was. I loved that place when they were open. Now Tom has a place north of town called Lonesome Elk but has no range to shoot at. He is a great guy to deal with. Maybe we can get together and fling some arrows, that is if you do not mind shooting with a guy with a Mathews. The Darkside is gaining power the force is strong here.
Whatch waitin for?? Lets shoot
I have been out to Lonesome Elk several times, that is where I was going to order my next bow. I mean I like shooting at Gander but they dont really have much to offer me as far as bows go. I guess being a woman they really dont stock much in kinda bow. But the boys that work there are all really nice and polite, they are always willing to help, (when they arnt laughin at me).
They all got a good laugh the other day when Michael Waddell was in there, I carried my bow in there so I could have him autograph it I have to say I did feel a little outta place there, mostly men, but it was still a lot of fun.
Well I will tell you what I shoot nearly everyday, I like to shoot outside at Hawthorn when its dry and the weather isnt too bad, otherwise I shoot there at Gander, so anytime you want to get together you just let me know. That is if you dont mind shooting with a Girl that shoots a Martin.
If you want you can email me and we will get together or something.

I got my 38 mohair girth belt from an online tack shop called the Chubby Pony. It was used so it was only $6 plus shipping it had a few dirt stains but otherwise it is in great shape.
I have finally got the courage to plunge into the dye bath and it is on the stove cooking now. Im using the liquid dye formula of ½ cup Rit Dark Brown & ¼ cup Rit Wine. Right now it looks real dark, but hopefully it will lighten up once I start rinsing it. I have the stretching board already to go.
I got my fingers crossed.

Let the shred begin.
If you're looking for a competitive advantage, consider the sub-1500 gram Industry Nine Ultralite 29in Wheelset. A tubeless rim, proprietary spokes, and a quick engaging hub will liven up any crosscountry bike.
To begin with, I9 spokes are machined from 7075 aluminum, they're straight pull, and they thread directly into the hub instead of relying on nipples. This means that there's roughly a 25% greater cross section then comparable 14/15 double-butted steel spokes, and greater tensile strength to boot. Additionally, the threading on these spokes is exclusive to Industry Nine.
On traditional spokes, threads are rolled, not cut. This adds to strength, but it creates a stress riser where the thread channel is narrower than the diameter of the spoke itself. Industry Nine doesn't roll its threads, instead, they're created during the machining process, and cut so that the thread channel is the same as the spoke's diameter.
In fact, the threads themselves are actually larger than the spoke in order to create a stronger interface with the hub. Moving on to the hubs, the Ultralite wheelset features I9's new Torch hubs. And they're compatible with all axle standards via separately available end caps. The big news, however, is actually within the hub.
The Torch preserves I9's 120 points of contact and near-instant three degrees of engagement that's earned them a cult following. Only now, the pawls have two teeth instead of three. Along with that, a changed cantilever angle, and shallower tooth profile on the hardened drive-ring, reduce freehub drag in comparison to previous iterations. Additionally, the Torch hubs now incorporate a proprietary mechanism that features two sets of three pawls that are phased three degrees from each other.
The rear hub was tested to withstand 700ft/lbs of torque — roughly what a built diesel truck puts out. This fact quiets any fears of slippage when you're putting out full power. But, it's the Torch's quick engagement that enables you to clean steep, technical trail sections. And with three degrees of rotation between engagement points, that won't be an issue.
Furthering this, Industry Nine's engineers have removed the large bearing between the freehub body and shell, opting for smaller bearings directly between the body and shell. The reduced bearing size equates to less seal surface area that, along with a new silicone lip design, significantly reduces mechanical drag. The freehub is also now easier to remove for cleaning and lubing, and like before, the springs and pawls are captured. Home mechanics rejoice — this means that you won't be scrambling on the floor looking for small parts.
These wheels feature a low 24 spoke count. And to make them significantly stronger than other low spoke count wheels, they employ a 2:1 lacing ratio. This means that there's 16 spokes on the side bearing the greatest load, and 8 on the less-stressed side. The effect is that the wheel achieves a far more balanced tension, rather than experiencing vastly different loads on each side of the wheel — as is the case in traditional wheel constructions. To further improve the balance, spokes on the higher count side are butted for weight savings, while those on the lower spoke count side are straight gauge in order to boost stiffness. There's a 180 pound weight limit, which given the crazy-light weight, shouldn't be a surprise. Our experience has shown that, for those inside the weight limit, these hold up admirably, day in and day out.
And with a 21mm inner-width and a 25.2mm outer-width, Industry Nine's Ultralite rim is wide enough to fit a true 2.4-inch tire. But, it's the feathery 350 gram weight per rim that you'll really notice. This makes them lighter than many carbon fiber clinchers. Additionally, they feature a double-wall extrusion, which keeps the rim stiff in spite of its light overall weight. In turn, it keeps you locked into your line on the trail, while your friends on lesser wheels curse your precise steering.
The Industry Nine Ultralite 29in wheels are available with a 15mm front and 10x135mm quick-release rear axle compatibility. They're tubeless-ready and come in either the color Black or Red. They wheels ship with the Presta valve stems and rim tape already installed.

The Shape of Stings to Come
posted at 5:41 pm on June 1, 2010 by Dafydd ab Hugh
AP just can't bring itself to refer to either Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad as a terrorist organization. It's an open question, mustn't prejudge!
The strongest that the Associated Press can muster is to refer to Hamas "militants" and "fighters" from PIJ. And of course, the "news" agency uncritically repeats claims by Islamist Moslem nations and traditional Israel-haters in France that the Israelis violated "international law" with their "massacre" of innocents in the flotilla of "peace activists":
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan [of Turkey], an outspoken critic of Israel, told lawmakers Tuesday that the Israeli raid was an attack "on international law, the conscience of humanity and world peace."
"This bloody massacre by Israel on ships that were taking humanitarian aid to Gaza deserves every kind of curse," he said, demanding that Israel immediately halt its "inhumane" blockade of Gaza.
Turkey demanded that the U.S. condemn the raid. The White House has reacted cautiously, calling for disclosure of all the facts.
Timidly would be the better word.
Meanwhile, the United Nations Security Council voted to condemn the unspecified "use of force" and violent "acts;" the United States has veto authority within the Security Council, but the Barack H. Obama administration refused to exercise that right, instead pushing only for a wishy-washy, "on the one hand, on the other hand" statement that found guilt without deciding which side was guilty, or in what proportions:
"The Security Council deeply regrets the loss of life and injuries resulting from the use of force during the Israeli military operation in international waters against the convoy sailing to Gaza," the statement said, adding that the 15-member body "in this context, condemns those acts which resulted in the loss" of lives.
The wording seemed designed to dilute demands for condemnation exclusively of Israel, which argues that its soldiers acted in self-defense in response to violent resistance to their interception of the vessels from passengers on board.
Unwilling to let the crisis go to waste, the Security Council also demanded — with American acquiescence, probably passive — that Israel essentially lift the blockade and allow the "sustained and regular flow of goods and people to Gaza":
"The Security Council requests the immediate release of the ships as well as the civilians held by Israel," the United Nations statement said, calling for "a prompt, impartial, credible and transparent investigation conforming to international standards."
It also said the situation in Gaza, under blockade by Israel, was "not sustainable" and called for a "sustained and regular flow of goods and people to Gaza, as well as unimpeded provision and distribution of humanitarian assistance throughout Gaza."
On the broader Palestinian-Israeli confrontation, the Security Council renewed calls for a two-state solution and voiced concern that the raid on the flotilla took place while United States-sponsored so-called "proximity talks" were under way.
Presumably, the Israelis should allow any number of ships to pass directly to Gaza "unimpeded" for however long it takes for our "proximity talks" to bring about the desired "two-state solution." That is, so long as the Palestinians remain intransigent, Israel should not be allowed to defend itself; as soon as the Palestinians come to their senses and stop trying to exterminate all Jews, then Israel will be allowed to enforce its (then-unnecessary) blockade.
It's a position that makes perfect sense in the Era of Obamunism!
Two significant events occurred today: First, Egypt unexpectedly decided to lift its own land blockade of the border crossings between Egypt and the Gaza Strip, at least for a few days, allowing virtually unfettered movement of men and materials back and forth; there is no indication the Egyptian security officials are even making sure Iranian missiles are kept out of Gaza. They claim this is for humanitarian purposes, but I think it clear it's really designed to punish Israel.
Second, the peace activists of the religion of peace sent out another boat to try to run the blockade. Their plan should be clear by now:
- Three or four more "unarmed" vessels full of peaceniks (recreationally chanting "kill the Jews") will assail the blockade.
- Each attempt will provoke more "violence," other "massacres," more "raids." (And since when does enforcing a publicly announced blockade constitute a raid?)
- Every such use of "disproportionate force" will ratchet up world demand for an end to the blockade.
- Eventually (this part is mere wishful thinking on the part of Hamas and its sponsor, Iran — I hope!) Israel will be forced by mounting world fury to withdraw its sea-based defense.
- Once that happens — the next humanitarian aid ship to Gaza will transport thousands of advanced Scud missiles, the same type that Iran and Syria have been openly shipping to Hezbollah in recent months.
- Then all of Israel, including every major Israeli city, will fall within range of Hezbollah or Hamas missile attacks.
The U.N. should be pleased if Israel no longer commands disproportionate force but is matched by exterminationist terrorist organizations — pardon me, I meant "militant" groups of "fighters." The endless series of complaints against Israel will have achieved their ultimate aim; when the inevitable, Iran-led, fourth holy war begins, no country will dare stand up for the Jews… lest Iran decide to seal off the Strait of Hormuz, blockading much of the world's oil.
Say — perhaps StratFor's traditional conclusion that "doom is nigh" will turn out to be accurate after all!
Thank goodness we have such a strong Commander in Chief, such a great admirer of Israel; otherwise, we might have to worry that America may no longer exercise its veto authority in the UNSC to protect the Jewish state — and might even join the world-wide movement to force Israel into a suicide-pact "peace treaty" with next-door neighbors who want nothing more than the obliteration of world Jewry and will not even take the most basic step of renouncing terrorism and jihad against Israel. We might pressure our beleagured, erstwhile ally into the existential error of "a treaty at any cost."
But I'm sure we can rely upon the strength of character and excellent primal instincts of President Barack Hussein Obama II to rescue us from such a fate. He saved us from health care, didn't he?

Post subject: my first mock
Well I decided to do a mock. Let me know how I did, I'm not that good with this kind of stuff so any advice would be good. thanks
Released/Traded/Not Signed:
Ryan Grant
Cedric Benson
Jarrett Boykin
Brad Jones
Erik Walden
Greg Jennings- Tagged, traded for Miami's 2nd Rd pick
Donald Driver(retires)- decides to call it quits after a great career
Charles Woodson(retires)- same as DD
Sam Shields CB
One of my favorite Packer players, very young and will play great for the Packers for a long time.
Dujuan Harris RB
A solid RB that will make a great backup and 3rd down back.
Tom Crabtree TE
IMO a very under rated TE who hasn't reached his full potential yet.
Robert Francois LB
Evan Detriech-Smith C
Has played great so far at center and I'd be happy to see him stay awhile in Green Bay.
Jeremy Ross WR
Very reliable in the return game, could eventually become a solid WR on this team.
Frank Zombo OLB
Has played good when needed to but needs to increase his strength if he wants a long term career.
2013 NFL Draft:
RD1-32. Barrett Jones OL Alabama
6'5" 311 lbs
A very good player that will start right away on the line and can play many positions.
RD2-44(from Miami). Le'Veon Bell RB Michigan State
6'2" 238 lbs
Has great size and can pound on a defense all game. Had 1600 yards and 11 TD's this year.
RD2-64. Eric Reid SS LSU
6'2" 212 lbs
TT decides to dip back into the SEC to select Charles Woodson's replacement at S. A solid, hard hitting tackler who will instantly help our secondary.
RD3-96. Kenny Stills WR Oklahoma
6'1" 189 lbs
A very consistent WR this year. He totaled 11 receiving TD's this year. Could push for the #4 spot at receiver of Jeremy Ross.
RD4-128. Kyle Long T Oregon
6'7" 311 lbs
He was great at protecting his QB last year while opening running lanes for the backs, will add depth to the oline.
RD5-160. Zac Dysert QB Miami of Ohio
6'4 228 lbs
The next McCarthy project and plus we need a better backup than Harrell.
RD6-192. Steve Greer LB Virginia
6'2" 230 lbs
Could be a solid back up for the Packers, needs to gain some weight if he wants to play inside, if not he could move to OLB.
RD7-224. Roy Roundtree WR Michigan
6'0" 177 lbs
IMO he could be a real sleeper in this years draft. Had an off year this year but it doesn't help that he doesn't have a real QB
. Needs to put on some weight though.

I was thinking the same. Not big on Bell that high but I actually wouldn't argue with a RB in the 2nd. I'd going
And maybe even Ball,
Before I go with Bell
IMO, there's better value in guys like Mike Gillislee or Jonathan Franklin in the 4th. Just my 2cents!
Jones and Walden will come relatively cheap and are upgrades over Zombo and Francois Currently, we have younger options than Francois on the roster and I won't lose any sleep if we cut Zombo either.

Anyone who thinks Miami or any other team will give up a 2nd to get Greg Jennings for 1 year guaranteed just ruins their mock draft. Barrett Jones would be a great pick in R1 but I very much doubt he will be available, Bell getting drated 44 is way too high and he will likley be there late in the round when the Packers pick, Reid will be long gone by the end of R2, no DL drafted is an issue and no TE is an issue.

We have heard this song and dance a lot. You are not getting him for 1 year, he will sign a long term deal as part of any tag and trade, that is how it has always worked. GJ has a game that will age well too. He is not reliant on top end speed, he relies on precision and just being quick in his breaks, much like DD. GJ probably has 3 years of excellent football in him and then 2 years in a complimenty role. Stud recievers are not easy to find, especially those that can contribute day 1. You add in GJs clean character and relatively durable past, excluding this year with the mis-diagnoses abdominal that was not his fault, and he is probably available for quite a few more games this season.
In SHORT, WE DISAGREE WITH YOU, so get over it and get past that critique. We get it and we know your position on it. No one cares if you or some else ends up being right about it either.
It is more fun to include the trade because it is plausible and it allows us to discuss more players. It does not ruin the mock at all, it just includes a wrinkle you disagree with, and that is not ruining it at all for anyone else.
As for the mock itself: I think you are over valuing Bell, but we will see how he runs. I just do not like the fit myself. I like Taylor, Ball and Lacy much more in this fit, and I like some of the other values later as well.
I like Reid a lot.
Someone mentioned your FA keeps, Jones IS NOT going to be cheap to keep around. He is making himself some coin this year. Not a huge signing for some team, but more expensive then I think TT will be willing to spend to bring back what will be a back up LBer and a STer. They have Jones replacements on this roster for cheap as well. (Manning, Walden- who I do not think is a FA this offseason, Smith)
Depends on the contract for Crabs. It is not like this team will not have his replacement on the team for next camp already as well. (Quarless and Taylor)
I do not like going that high on a C/OG prospect especially when you already have players there going into next year that can start. I will not be upset at all with Jones, but spare me the cartwheels as well.
If Greer comes to GB, I want him on the inside as a back up and STer. Solid football player there but I do not think he has much of a cieling either.
Roundtree is good where you have him, I just wish this draft had some playmakers in it. Aside from Reid, I really do not see anybody that is a gamebreaker at all. Because of that, it is not a very sexy draft.

Bell just reminds me of other B1G bowlers that struggled mightily in the NFL. Stills is a complete tool.
The rest seems pretty good, wouldn't be mad.

like the draft aside from the 2nd RB. TT probably still has a bad taste in his mouth from B-Jack so unless there is a game breaker there i doubt he goes RB early. personally with the RB position becoming a committee of hodge podge of players i wouldn't be surprised if we dont' draft any RBs.
i like Walden and Jones as depth players. are they under contract? if they cost to much obviously i'm not advocating we over pay but i think they are good depth. plus you only drafted 1 other LBer.

Arsenal Football Club has announced the outcome of a major review of its ticketing approach ahead of the 2012/13 season.
The move follows extensive discussions with supporters' groups and has led to changes designed to provide thousands of tickets at lower prices, reward season-ticket loyalty and improve the Ticket Exchange service.
Barclays Premier League matches at Emirates Stadium will be regraded into 'A', 'B' and 'C' categories, which will create approximately 90,000 lower-priced matchday tickets for non season-ticket holders across the season.
Ticket prices in the 'C' category matches will be on average 28 per cent lower than last season's equivalent matches. For example, a match ticket in the North Bank Lower for the Premier League home match against Sunderland on Saturday August 18 will now be priced at £25.50, compared to £35.00 last season.
Also as part of the ticketing policy changes, member sale prices for 'A' category matches, where demand for tickets is highest, have increased on average by 23 per cent from last season. For example, a match ticket in the North Bank Lower for the Premier League home match against Chelsea on Saturday September 29 will be priced at £62.00, compared to £51.00 last season.
The lowest priced matchday ticket for next season will be £25.50 for a 'C' category match, with the highest priced ticket for next season being £126 for an 'A' category match. This top price ticket only represents approximately 1 per cent on average of available tickets in 'A' category matches.
The introduction of 90,000 lower-priced tickets follows the Club's announcement of a price freeze on Gold Level season ticket renewals for the 2012/2013 season. This is the fourth year out of six that Arsenal has held season-ticket prices flat despite continuing pressure to keep pace with rising operational and player costs.
The moves follow consultation with the Arsenal Independent Supporters' Association and the Arsenal Supporters' Trust. Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis said: "We have listened to our supporters and these moves respond to some of their key feedback.
"It has been a long-standing aim of the Club to find a way to provide more tickets at lower prices for some of our fixtures. We already significantly reduce prices to our home League Cup matches and now we have been able to offer around 90,000 lower-priced tickets to selected home Premier League matches.
"We constantly aim to strike the right balance between offering tickets at affordable prices, while ensuring we have sufficient income to reinvest in the squad. This is crucial as we look to compete at the top of the game in Europe."
The Club has also announced enhancements to the Ticket Exchange service to make it easier for season-ticket holders who are unable to come to matches to sell their tickets online to fellow Arsenal fans.
More than 20,000 tickets were exchanged by supporters during the course of last season and from the start of the new campaign supporters will also be able to use the Ticket Exchange service to:
• Exchange tickets for UEFA Champions League matches (this excludes supporters who need to move as a result of UEFA requirements)
• Use a new interactive seat-map booking process. The booking process has been simplified for Silver and Red Members, so that available seats can be easily viewed and purchased.
During the first half of the 2012/13 season, the Club will also be launching a new service for supporters named 'Ticket Transfer'. This is designed to make it easier for season-ticket holders to transfer their ticket to family and friends if they are unable to attend a game. Further details on 'Ticket Transfer' will be issued in due course.
The AISA and AST supporters' groups welcomed the moves in a joint statement saying: "Lower prices for Premier League games are something that AISA and AST have been calling for. Today's announcement is an important step forward in enabling many supporters who have previously been unable to afford tickets to attend matches at Emirates Stadium. We welcome this development and urge the Club to continue to improve and develop its ticketing arrangements, building further on ideas submitted by supporters."
Please find below further information regarding the new match categories:
Match categories
The match categories are 'A', 'B' and 'C'. Details of the categories of matches from the start of the season until the end of 2012 are as follows:
|Date (subject to change)
|Saturday, August 18
|Saturday, September 15
|Saturday, September 29
|Saturday, October 27
|Queens Park Rangers
|Saturday, November 10
|Saturday, November 17
|Tottenham Hotspur
|Saturday, December 1
|Swansea City
|Saturday, December 8
|West Bromwich Albion
|Wednesday, December 26
|West Ham United
|Saturday, December 29
|Newcastle United
'A', 'B' and 'C' categories are only applicable to home Premier League fixtures.
There will be five 'A' Category, eight 'B' Category and six 'C' category matches in the Premier League across the season.
UEFA Champions League and FA Cup fixtures will be based on A and B pricing.
Pricing for the Capital One Cup (formerly the Carling Cup) will be similar to previous seasons.
Match details for fixtures from January 2013 will be communicated in due course.

And so it continues, games into movies, utter dog shite.
Anyone who has played the games Max Payne 1 and 2 will understand it has one of the coolest and darkest story lines ever, not only that the game's were fantastic to play, the main character in the game was brilliant.
In the movie you kick straight off with Mark Whalberg playing Max Payne and instantly you think "wrong choice". It only get's worse from there on.
Clearly noone who directed the film has been bothered to play the game, they have somehow turned a dark themed action fest into a slow boring drama?
Max Payne the movie joins my all time movie dissapointment list, not quite as poor as AvP2 but not far off.
Do NOT go see this in the cinema people, download it for free because that is all it's worth!
My score 4/10

CVID is an immunodeficiency disorder characterized by a low level of antibodies, making it difficult for the child's body to fight diseases. The child then becomes sick with recurrent infections. The disease may become evident during infancy, childhood, puberty, or even later into adulthood. The symptoms of the disease are very different for each child affected, which is why it is called a "variable" group of disorders.
The cause of CVID is unknown. In some cases, more than one individual in a family may be affected, while in other cases this is not the case. There is a decrease in the number of immunoglobulins (antibodies) in the affected person. Immunoglobulins are produced by the body and are necessary in fighting infections.
The following are the most common symptoms of CVID. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
A diagnosis of CVID is usually made based on a complete medical history and physical examination. In addition, multiple blood tests may be ordered to help confirm the diagnosis.
Specific treatment for CVID will be determined by your child's physician based on:

Green Bay Opens NIT Against Belmont on Tuesday Night
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – The Green Bay men's basketball team will play host to Ohio Valley Conference champion Belmont on Tuesday night at 7:15 p.m. in the opening round of the 2014 National Invitation Tournament at the Resch Center. The contest marks the first NIT home contest in the history of the Phoenix program.
Green Bay is the No. 4 seed in the St. John's quadrant of the NIT bracket while Belmont is the No. 5 seed. Top-seeded St. John's hosts No. 8 Robert Morris on Tuesday at 6 p.m. CST, with the winner facing the victor of Tuesday night's game at the Resch Center.
A QUICK LOOK AT THE PHOENIX: Green Bay (24-6) is making its first trip to the NIT in 22 years and its third in program history. The Phoenix earned an automatic bid to the tournament thanks to claiming the program's first Horizon League regular season title since 1995-96 with a 14-2 mark in league play.
Junior Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.), the Horizon League Player of the Year, headlines the Phoenix under fourth-year head coach Brian Wardle. Sykes is averaging 20.3 points, 4.9 assists and 4.4 rebounds per contest and has also been named First-Team All-Horizon League and to the All-District teams selected by the National Association of Basketball Coaches and the U.S. Basketball Writers Association. Sykes is 18 points shy of becoming just the second Phoenix player in program history to reach 1,500 points during his junior season.
Senior Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.), the Horizon League's Defensive Player of the Year, ranks in a tie for seventh nationally in blocks per game (3.2). With 308 career blocked shots, Brown needs just two to break the conference's all-time record of 309 set by Youngstown State's Damian Eargle. The Phoenix has blocked a school and conference record 220 shots this season.
Speaking of records, sophomore Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.) needs two steals (66) to break Green Bay's single-single-record of 67 set by Terry Evans in 2008-09.
A QUICK LOOK AT THE BRUINS: After posting a 24-9 overall record and winning its regular season title for the fifth-straight season, Belmont (24-9) is making its ninth postseason appearance in the past 11 seasons. Head coach Rick Byrd led the Bruins to a 14-2 mark in the Ohio Valley Conference. Like Green Bay, Belmont posted signature wins in its non-conference season, including an 83-80 victory at North Carolina on Nov. 17.
Senior J.J. Mann, a 6-foot-6 senior, was named the OVC Player of the Year after averaging 18.3 points and 4.7 rebounds per game. Mann knocked down a team-high 82 three-pointers on 40.2 percent shooting.
The Bruins rank second nationally in field goal percentage (.509) and are tied for ninth in the country in three-point field goal percentage (.397). Green Bay will counter with a defense ranked second in the country in blocks per game and 12th in field goal percentage defense (.391).
Aside from Mann, three other Bruins average in double figures, including Craig Bradshaw (15.2), Reece Chamberlain (11.4) and Drew Windler (10.1).
Green Bay and Belmont have impressive records in the 2014 calendar year, with the Phoenix at 19-3 and the Bruins at 16-3.
LIVE COVERAGE: Tuesday night's games will be live on ESPN3 with Jim Barbar (play-by-play) and Sean Harrington (color analyst) on the call. On WNFL 1440 AM, Matt Menzl and Cordero Barkley will bring fans a radio broadcast of the action.
TICKETS: Tickets can be purchased at the Resch Center Ticket Office, by calling TicketStar at 800.895.0071, or online at TicketStar.com. Ticket prices for the contest are $15 for adults, $4 for youth (17 and under) and $4 for UW-Green Bay students.

Well I finally bought two bags of wads to try to get a perfect 100 at the HDCP after all these years.
I have tried many powders and hulls and it finally comes down to these wads in the Remington STS hull.
The last few years I have been cheap and have used the soft rosin CB wads that leave plastic streaks in the barrel,
which is not a bad thing if they can get you good scores but I want just a little better performance out of my loads.
Only bought a 1,000 wads just in case they dont work out but people that shoot with me say that the extra virgin plastic does not leave plastic in your barrel and patters improve with this wad. I will be testing them in my 2 3/4Dr singles loads and my 3 dram HDCP loads to see what happens and if I get harder hits and more birds.
All I know is, they sure are PRETTY !!
