As voters prepare to cast their ballots in Iowa this week, the candidacy of former Governor Mitt Romney will be a centerpiece for Republican hopes. His campaign is well funded since he has the necessary money to present his views, but more important is the continual ethical issues presented by his candidacy. While Rudy Giuliani is frequently attacked for bombastic boasting, Romney increasingly raises eyebrows for his tendency to say whatever will please voters, regardless of the fact the day prior he said something different. As governor of Massachusetts, he supported Bush tax cuts, and never came out against legal or illegal immigrants. Last week, when asked if he would attack Senator John McCain on immigration, Romney indcated he would hold off, but yesterday his ads blasting away at McCain on immigration were being shown all over Iowa.
Earlier this year, Romney claimed to be a hunter all his life, but investigation revealed he had only hunted three times and didn't even possess a rifle. He claimed to have support from the National Rifle Association in his gubernatorial campaigns, but later admitted that mainly consisted of a few NRA members doing pone calling. There is no question Romney is a clean-cut man who has never been involved in any scandals, but the continual petty distortions and and switching of positions will undoubtedly doom his chances for obtaining the Republican nomination. He is a man for all seasons, he is a man for all voters, he is a man for all viewpoints, he is a pandering man, and he has now run smack into a Huckabee whose humor and refusal to alter views will probably lead to victory over Romney this week.
In a sense, Mitt Romney's campaign has run into the same problems as has Hillary Clinton's pursuit of the nomination. Both come across as seeking votes rather than as presenting views in which they believe even if sticking to principles loses votes. This year, the American voter seeks candidates who adhere to principles and are willing to place the interests of the nation before anything else. Perhaps, a loss in Iowa will give Romney some additional time to go out hunting with his non-existant rifle in a forest of lies and distortion. Mitt, you had a good shot at the nomination, but you just fired blanks.

Salinas Asking Pedestrians To Play It Safe After Teen Dies on Christmas Day
Officers are ticketing more often for jaywalking and failing to yield.
SALINAS, Calif. - Salinas Police have been dealing with a spike in deadly pedestrian accidents. This comes as more sad news of yet another young woman's untimely death after being hit by a car a couple weeks ago.
Salinas Police said there have been twelve deadly crashes this year and seven of them have involved a pedestrian. Salinas police said a lack of officers to patrol the streets could be a contributing factor.
"We are down the number of officers we have. So the enforcement is down and there have been many studies that show that writing traffic citations reduces the number of traffic violations you have," said Sergeant Gerard Ross.
The department is down to two traffic officers from the eight it used to have. Sergeant Ross said the chief plans to keep those two officers on the streets. But he said drivers and pedestrians need to do their part as well.
"Even if the pedestrian's got the right of way, they should be very careful and look both ways and try and make eye contact with the driver so that they know the drivers have seen them," Ross said.
Officers said it's never safe to just run across the street. So they're asking everyone to press the button at the crosswalk and wait until it's safe to walk. In light of this year's deaths, officers are being encouraged to write more tickets for jaywalking and for drivers who fail to yield to pedestrian. The department said it's doing what it can to make improve intersections where deadly crashes have happened before.
"The traffic engineers when they design the streets, they try to make sure they're safe and then as collisions happen and it appears that the intersection is not as safe as it should be, then we make changes to try and make them safer," Ross said.
Officers said jaywalking can cost you a minimum of $500. They some streets around Salinas seem to have more jaywalkers than others. But no matter what, everyone should always use the crosswalk.

I have searched the archives, and can't find a definitive guide or instructions for the scope mounts on Fett's EE-3 from ESB.
Does anyone have any input on this? Even with the pics I have seen, there is no real good shot of the mounts.
It looks like it is 2-3" above the barrel, and I can't figure out how to elevate my scope...
That is all I need to finish my blaster. Any help, even a pic of your finished blaster, would be greatly appreciated!

Arsène Wenger will be reunited with John Halls on Sunday when the former Gunner returns to Highbury in the colours of Stoke City.
The 22-year-old was forced to pursue his career away from Arsenal after failing to break into the first team. Wenger is a great admirer of Halls but accepts that the quality of Arsenal's squad was hampering his progress at Highbury.
"He was a centre back and we had top competition in there," reflects Wenger. "I told him to go into a central midfield position but there he had Patrick Vieira, Gilberto, Edu and Emmanuel Petit in front of him.
"If they don't make it here it is not because they are not good players. But the target was to push Gilberto, Vieira and Petit out of the side."
Halls has followed in the footsteps of Steven Sidwell, Jerome Thomas, Matthew Upson, Moritz Volz and other youngsters who could not break through at Arsenal but have established themselves elsewhere.
Wenger is not surprised that Halls has done so well. "He is a boy with character," says the Arsenal manager. "He is fiercely proud and committed with quick feet, good pace and good technique. He was a typically hard English boy."

Extremely hot
For illustration, let's take the most simple case of a normal distribution that is shifted towards the warm end by a given amount – say one standard deviation. Then, a moderately extreme temperature that is 2 standard deviations above the mean becomes 4.5 times more likely (see graph below). But a seriously extreme temperature, that is 5 standard deviations above the mean, becomes 90 times more likely! Thus: the same amount of global warming boosts the probability of really extreme events, like the recent US heat wave, far more than it boosts more moderate events. This is exactly the opposite of the claim that "the greater the extreme, the less global warming has to do with it." The same is also true if the probability distribution is not shifted but widened by a constant factor. This is easy to show analytically for our math-minded readers.
Graph illustrating how the ratio of the probability of extremes (warmed climate divided by unchanged climate – this increased likelihood factor is shown as a dashed line, scale on right) depends on the value of the extreme.
So in summary: even in the most simple, linear case of a shift in the normal distribution, the probability for "outlandish" heat records increases greatly due to global warming. But the more outlandish a record is, the more would we suspect that non-linear feedbacks are at play – which could increase their likelihood even more.
Update 29 March: New Scientist magazine cites this RC post in an article about the "summer in March".
Our Perspective article on the unprecedented extremes of the last decade was just published by Nature Climate Change: Coumou & Rahmstorf (2012) A decade of weather extremes

Is it a sin to drive an SUV?
Gas-guzzlers aren't generally chic in Catholic circles. These days many of us are wondering whether we can drive one with a clear conscience. But is it a sin?
Simply defined, to sin is to say "no" to God. It is a rejection of God's free gifts as well as the grace-filled relationship that God always offers. It is to choose what is not good while exercising one's mature free will. Often it is as simple as choosing what is easy or what is the societal norm without using the eyes of faith.
The official teachings of the church don't directly address SUVs. Pope Benedict, who has earned the reputation as the "green pope," called ecological devastation a "moral crisis" in his message for the 2010 World Day of Peace, "If You Want to Cultivate Peace, Protect Creation." But he did not address the driving of gas-guzzlers directly. When the Vatican's newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano, published an updated list of seven mortal sins in 2008, "polluting the environment" was included, but not a direct indictment of SUVs.
We have a language of sin that church leadership has not yet officially applied to the environment, let alone SUVs. But while we don't consider SUVs inherently sinful, the church also doesn't condone gas-guzzlers.
Driving an SUV isn't exactly a sin, but it is not a choice that is encouraged because the amount of fuel these vehicles use and the pollution they emit contributes to the exploitation of the global environment.
Driving an SUV can in fact impede our saying "yes" to God and to the gifts of creation because by doing so, when other options are available, we participate in harming of creation through the insatiable collection and burning of fossil fuels.
While walking, biking, and taking public transportation reflect a prudent use of the resources of God's creation, driving a gas-guzzler assumes that we are entitled to use as much of our natural resources as we want. It can also say that God gives more to some than to others.
But just because something is there, accessible because of our financial status, does not mean it is there for the taking (and taking and taking), especially when we consider that our taking is at the expense of the poor who suffer most from the effects of environmental pollution. Such overconsumption and pride exploits God's gifts and breaks our relationship with the global community, and thus our relationship with God.
This article appears in the April 2010 issue of U.S. Catholic (Vol. 75, No. 4, page 46).

Green Bay Wraps Up Country Inn & Suites Tourney
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Finishing with a hard-fought battle against tournament champion Auburn, the Green Bay volleyball squad wrapped up its participation in the season-opening Green Bay/Country Inn & Suites Tournament on Saturday with a pair of tough losses at the Kress Center. The Phoenix was swept by Central Michigan (25-20, 27-25, 25-14) in its afternoon match before falling 3-0 to the Tigers (32-30, 28-26, 25-21) in the entertaining tournament finale.
Green Bay finished 1-2 on the weekend, defeating Drake 3-0 in the opener on Friday. Auburn, paced by tournament MVP Camila Jersonsky, took all three matches to earn the title. Joining Jersonsky on the all-tournament team were Auburn's Sarah Wroblicky and Sarah Bullock, Central Michigan's Lindsey Dulude and Jenna Coates, Green Bay's Carmen Leitermann and Drake's Cassie Effken.
Leitermann finished the tournament with 31 kills in nine sets to lead the Phoenix, hitting .475 from the middle. Brittany Groth (Oak Creek, Wis.) also turned in an impressive tournament performance, registering 72 digs, including a school-record 29 Saturday night against Auburn.
Auburn 3, Green Bay 0
Although the scoreboard read 3-0 in favor of the Tigers, the final match of the Green Bay/Country Inn & Suites Tournament certainly felt like it could have gone either way. The Phoenix held sizable leads in each of the first two sets, both of which needed extra points to be decided.
"It's not often that you go in the locker room following a 3-0 loss and say 'that was a great volleyball match,'" Phoenix head coach Debbie Kirch said. "It was frustrating because I thought we had good leads in both sets one and two and we couldn't hold on to them. Overall we fought for every last point and played incredible defense and just did whatever we could do to bring the ball back."
Leading the Phoenix defense was Groth, whose 29 digs broke the team record for a three-set match. Groth tied the previous record of 26 in 2010, which she held with former Phoenix standout and current assistant coach Sarah Rauen (2005).
Green Bay jumped out to a 12-5 lead in set one, but Auburn fought back to even the score at 21-21. Consecutive kills gave the Tigers a 23-21 advantage, but the Phoenix responded with a kill from Katie Mroczenski (New Berlin, Wis.) followed by a block to knot things back up at 23-23.
The Tigers had their first set point opportunity leading 24-23 when Lyndsay Zabkowicz (Oak Creek, Wis.) drove home a kill to once again even the score. Green Bay pulled ahead on three different occasions over the next five points, but Auburn answered each time. All square at 27-27, the two teams traded points until it was 30-30. A kill by Auburn's Courtney McDonald put the Tigers back in front, and a block ended the thrilling first set 32-30.
The Phoenix started fast again in set two as a Leitermann kill gave the home team a 12-7 advantage. Leading 21-15, Green Bay looked to be on its way to tying the match, but Auburn took six of the next seven points to get it to within one (22-21).
Back-to-back kills gave the Tigers their first set point chance at 24-23, but Mroczenski came through with a big kill to keep the set alive. Mroczenski and Leitermann added clutch kills moments later to deny Auburn two more set point opportunities, but the Tigers eventually used consecutive kills from Sarah Bullock and Jersonsky to finish it off 28-26.
The relentless Phoenix battled hard once again in set three, leading 15-14 after a kill by Leah Poel (Jenison, Mich.). Auburn responded with a 6-0 run to take a 20-15 lead and eventually pulled away for the 25-21 win to earn the sweep.
Leitermann had a team-high 13 kills in the contest, while Leah Van Zeeland (Kaukauna, Wis.) posted a double-double with 10 kills and 12 digs. Poel also garnered a double-double, registering 31 assists and 11 digs.
Central Michigan 3, Green Bay 0
After dropping the opening set the Phoenix was on the verge of tying the contest at one apiece after taking a 25-24 lead in set two, but the Chippewas registered the final three points to steal the set and change the complexion of the match.
Green Bay trailed 16-11 midway through the second set when a Leitermann kill sparked a 6-0 run by the Phoenix, giving the hosts a 17-16 advantage. The Chippewas responded to get it to set point (24-22), but another Leitermann kill, an attack error by CMU and a Leah Van Zeeland service ace made it 25-24 Phoenix.
The Chippewas called timeout and came out of the break swinging, as Val DeWeerd picked up a kill to knot the set at 25-25. CMU's Lindsey Dulude finished things off, getting back-to-back kills off of assists from Kelly Maxwell.
"I think that loss in the second set really took the wind out of our sails and it carried over into set three," Kirch said. "That didn't happen in the Auburn match. We kept our heads up and kept fighting and that made a big difference."
The Phoenix got out to an early 6-4 lead in the opening set and was tied 16-16 later on, but a pair of errors gave the visitors the lead for good as the Chippewas pulled away for the 25-20 win.
A Mroczenski kill cut it to 9-8 in favor of CMU to start the third set, but that's when the Chippewas rattled off seven of the next eight points to go up 16-9. CMU pushed the lead to double digits (21-11) and ultimately finished with a 25-14 win.
Zabkowicz led the Phoenix in kills for the second straight match with seven, while Leitermann had another solid performance, finishing with six kills and a .400 hitting percentage in addition to five total blocks.
CMU was paced by Dulude, who had a match-high 12 kills while hitting .429. Jenna Coates registered 26 digs to lead all players, while Maxwell had 35 assists.
After opening with three at home, the Phoenix will play its next nine matches on the road, starting with a trip to DeKalb, Ill., to face Northern Illinois next Tuesday. Green Bay then returns to tournament action with trips to the North Dakota Classic (Aug. 31-Sept. 1), the South Dakota State Jackrabbit Invite (Sept. 7-8) and the Davidson Wildcat Classic (Sept. 14-15). Green Bay's next home match is slated for Sept. 21 when it opens Horizon League play against Cleveland State.

Warford Third-Team All-America By Phil Steele College Football
Dec. 14, 2012
LEXINGTON, Ky. – University of Kentucky senior offensive lineman Larry Warford earned his second All-America honor of the season Friday when Phil Steele's College Football named him a third-team All-American.
This is the second All-America honor for Warford after being named a third-team All-American by the Associated Press earlier this week. Warford became the first UK offensive lineman to earn All-America status since Mike Pfeifer (first team by Football News, Mizlou) in 1989 and the first to receive the honor from the AP since Warren Bryant earned second-team honors in 1976. All totaled, Warford is the 12th UK offensive lineman to earn All-America honors in school history.
So far this offseason, Warford has been named a second-team All-SEC performer by SEC coaches, AP, Phil Steele's College Football and CollegeSportsMadness.com, while ESPN.com and CBSSports.com named him first-team All-SEC Team on Monday.
Warford received high praise throughout the season from the UK coaching staff for playing with amazing skill up front. He did not allow a quarterback sack all year, grading at 90.3 percent for the season and totaling 48 knockdown blocks.
The native of Richmond, Ky., ended his UK career having played in 47 games with 37 consecutive starts. The senior was named SEC Co-Offensive Lineman of the Week after UK's win over Kent State, handling blocking responsibilities on KSU's star lineman Roosevelt Nix. In the game, Warford collected eight knockdown blocks and graded out at 91.7 percent while limiting Nix to only two assisted tackles.
Warford began the season on the Outland Trophy and Lombardi Trophy Watch Lists, while he was chosen as a first-team midseason All-SEC selection by Phil Steele's College Football. Warford led the UK offensive line being named game captain five times throughout the season. Warford helped UK tailbacks earn 4.9 yards per carry during the season, including rushing for 342 yards against Samford.

I've heard good things about the Sig P2022 (like for one the price)
A pre-owned P226 / 228 (good luck finding one) / 229 has a low probability of failure unless the owner was a retard. This is the route I would go.
I don't think I would go for a P2022 though, maybe spend another hundred and go M&P, Beretta, or Glock

Hey everybody. I've been looking into getting a visor for my helmet (and to possibly use part of it for the chest window display) and I know a lot of people like to use shade 5 green face shields for their helmets. Has anyone used the face shield from this link?
Amazon.com: Face Shield, Dark Green PETG, 8"x 15.5"x .040, No IR Or UV, 15190: Home Improvement
Unfortunately it says nothing about what shade of green it is so I'm not sure if it's the right way to go but that price is pretty nice and low :p. Any input would be appreciated!

Why your credit score matters
Your credit score plays a major role in determining how much a bank will lend you and the interest rate that you'll be able to get on your mortgage. Make sure your credit reports are accurate and up to date before you apply for a mortgage.
Here's how to determine your credit scoreBy law, you're allowed to check your credit report for free once per year.
Your credit report will be created by one of the major credit reporting agencies:
Equifax: 1-800-685-1111 │ Experian: 1-888-397-3742 │ TransUnion: 1-800-888-4213
Your credit score can range from 300 to 850. Most scores fall between 600 and 700. Lenders put a lot of emphasis on your credit score, because it helps them determine how likely you are to pay back your mortgage.
If you have a good credit rating, it can help you get better mortgage options and lower mortgage interest rates. Alternatively, a low credit score may lead to a higher interest rate on your mortgage to make up for the increased risk.
Here's what your credit score contains:
Your credit report will not include information about your ethnicity, salary history, religion, checking or savings accounts, stocks and bonds, medical history or personal assets.
Here are a few ways you can improve your credit score
There are no quick fixes to improve your credit score. But if you work at it steadily, you can improve your score over time by consistently paying your bills on time, making payments for the minimum amount due and reducing your debt.
You can find more information about how to improve your credit and maintain good credit on sites like myfico.com and creditreport.com.
Credit history: One part of the big picture
When you order your credit report, keep in mind that your lender has a sense of proportion. Many people, at one time or another, have had trouble making a payment on time. Late payments don't automatically disqualify you from getting a mortgage. Many people may find themselves in difficult financial situations because of illness, divorce, temporary unemployment or other circumstances.
Although your credit history is important, it's still just one factor in the decision to approve your mortgage. If you can demonstrate that your credit problem is in the past and you've been able to re-establish a good track record, speak to your Mortgage Banker openly and honestly about your situation. They'll work with you to evaluate your current credit profile and determine what mortgage options are best for you.

You don't have to be a liveaboard to be prepared to vacate, during the fires in Southern California our home was threatened so we developed our bail out spot which is now Catalina or San Clemente (if open) islands...prepping to bail is not difficult, we have it down to 2 large duffle bags and we can sustain ourselves for 2 or more weeks, longer if we fish.
Every boat should have basic provisions for X people for at least 3 days on board...water, MRE's, medications etc...doesn't take up much space and could be a real lifesaver should it become necessary for an expedited departure..
|Musketaquid, Unfortunately I have little information about working while cruising. My wife and I were both teachers and did all our cruising during the summer break or spring and christmas holidays. Now, as we are retired, we cruise fulltime. I've have met some people who are able to maintain their employment largely over the internet and I have known people with skills in areas like refrig/AC repair or boat canvass work. We know of a couple who carried stocks of sunbrellla and had a "canvass shop" in their v-berth, but they also had a retirement income and one of them sold artwork at consignment in several ports. 'good luck, Aythya crew

Fourknots suggests the importance of this with the "terrorist attack" scenario, but it can be expressed with numerous events. I remember hiding out at anchor in a protected cove during a hurricane and enjoying my electricity, water, cooking and communications while the neighborhood ashore was without. We raised two children aboard, who now live ashore, and enjoyed the close family that comes with the lifestyle. We bought our first liveaboard sailboat in 1971 and have never owned a home ashore. We've spent years at a marina, working weekdays and sailing vacations and weekends and we've spent years fulltime cruising with ownership of nothing that is not on the boat. We are now in our sixties and starting our 38th year of living aboard. We are latitude coastal cruisers seasonally sailing from Maine to the Bahamas. We share community in about 20 ports that we frequent. I can not imagine making another choice in life for me. 'take care and joy, Aythya crew
I have recently become interested in sailing and living aboard. Ideally, I would like to travel with the seasons down the east coast. What kind of work is available for someone who does this?
You're right, of course, zaliasvejas. But I do have some serious questions regarding water living.
I too own properties on dirt which I currently don't live in; having just recently move out of a 2500 sf ranch house to a major US port city due to my g/f work relocate. I work from home and can basically live anywhere with modern communications.
We currently rent an apartment, a small dog lives with us. We've been looking for a condo in this city to buy, we both like the convenience of city living, but are particularly drawn to the wonderful water views and sunsets. Prices are good and we found views but there were certain "land-based" issues I didn't like. Without touching details, it occurred to me that to escape these issues, I can live on water.
Having already downsized from 2500sf to 900 sf apartment living, I am aware of the space/neccessity/storage issue; and I know I must rid more things. I will most likely be living on the boat only with my dog. My plan is to have my partner live on land; I will dock/live nearby and move freely between the two.
I am thinking a 30' - 40'
I do not have much sailing experience; I did sail a tiny sailboat on vacation once. I think 1/2 hr of instruction, then I was off. It was windy and it seemed I was going fast; it was a blast. I was out there for several hours and had to sunburns to prove it.
So, at this point I think a motor type boat makes more sense.
Is this the wrong forum for motor yachting?
Thanks for any inputs on size and type of boat.
Living aboard is a lifestyle. Just like living in an apartment in S.F., N.Y, or any big city. Not to mention living in a rural area is a lifestyle, and all of these are not meant for everyone.
I also find living aboard connects me closer to Mother Nature. Watching the tides, and current can be very important depending on where you are.
As far as terrorist attacks yes we are already prepared, and mostly self suffecient. Generator, solar, wind, engines of all sorts to sustain us while dirt dwellers are without.
I have a 3/2 brick home with a pool, fireplace, sunken living room that sits empty, because I prefer to be in the marina with people that hold like minds to my own. I would much rather be out cruising again, but that is coming.
I guess to love the lifestyle you will need a certain state of mind to deal with it. It's much easier to live on dirt, but I still prefer the small inconvenieces of being on the boat. Hopefully the person who began this thread is out living his dream, and it suits him fine where ever he is......i2f
I agree with you about the insignificant details people are fixating on.... must be a control thing... and then it shows up elsewhere in their lives... they loose the basics, the big picture... so on...
I have lived on a boat for two winters and a summer and I have to say it has been wonderful. This lifestyle is not for your regular TV fed consumer, though... it gets rough, cold, and crazy sometimes, you can't call an electrician when something goes wrong, and you can't head for the safety of the mall when weather pics up... You get to live in nature, though... sleep in your own personal water bed and feel like you are a part of this earth, instead of a consumer group.
Think about it...
This is interesting...
I too, have been thinking about living abroad a boat but just recently. I Googled "living on boat" and this site was one that came up.
The state of mind tread appealed to me. I started reading. A good question was answered by some great knowledgable posts. In particular, Captainforce's 1/1/09 post. I wanted to email that post to my g/f.
Then someone interrupted the tread with irrelevance. Who cares if reid is still listening or not? I am interested and so are many others. This is a community board, right? I and many others who Googled here are the new reids.
The interesting thing is that others started to fixate on this replying to old reid, as if he's some particular person living down the street. Then the b/b expert had to step in and tried to focus the discussion back to the original intent. yet the obessive distraction continues on for several more posts... amazing. I have no idea what mod squad has to do with living on boats.
This tells me several things. The most alarming thing is, does living on boat actually affects the way a person thinks? It really is a state of mind. After reading this tread I am not quite sure that I want to live on a boat anymore.
Lastly, I would like to ask quidam1947, what kind of boat is that? that you use for your ID picture. That looks like the perfect boat to live on! Thanks

On the simplicity side, you have to break away from the "accumulation of stuff" disease that is so rampant in today''s world. Yet on the other side you have to become more engaged in those things that make living aboard practical and safe. So you have to learn weather patterns and boat systems, etc.
My wife and I just achieved the goal of living aboard three weeks ago. Twelve years ago we sat down and mapped out a plan to get to this point and posted it on the refrigerator. We didn''t look at the plan often, but it was always there sub-consciously. Surprisingly we are only 18 months off that original plan. (Teenage kids will screw up any plan)
We think it is important to actually have a plan and really commit to it. If you don''t life''s distractions will cause you to lose your way and before you know it a great deal of time passes and for so many people they run out of time. So many people come up to us and congratulate us for living our dream. The sad thing is most of them say they "wish" they had followed their dream too, but didn''t or ran out of time or health, etc.
It is so nice to walk around the marina at night, listen to the Osprey''s call, the wind, and not much else. Its great to be close to nature again, even the rain and cold nights. Its great to be living again.
sv Columbine
Tony thank you for this write up I am 29 and have a plan I hope to buiy a boat at the end of the summer been searching for a boat about a year but really been searching hard for 6 months and trying to learn everything I can about different boat. I hope to in about 3 years in and counting down to throw the lines and just cruise for a few years.
Thank you for that little write up I needed the boost.
OOPS sorry for replying to a old post but still was a nice read
|(oops, wrong key) ... as this makes "cents" to me.
Thanks for the clarification on mod squad roles, and software education. I only thought to direct my suggestion to you because you jumped in so fast with the "Check the dates..." commentary. I'm still learning who's who around here.
I'm OK with looking at the date stamp for now, as

We're more of an rpg than a sim gaming community, but the Oculus Rift has been creating some headlines for a while. I have never used Track IR but i think it would be great to replace mouselook on rpgs.
As we know, the Track IR (a shiny spot on a baseball cap) is a possible head-movement VR alternative whic has been out way longer than Oculus. I was thinking about Oculus and I felt it might flop because Track IR is already out with all the bugs ironed out.
So I read this reveiw and see 2 major hurdles for Oculus Rift :-
1) Using Oculus Rift u cannot see your keyboard, hotas joystick or hands. This makes it largely impossible to play rpgs or sims which need you to look at your handson the controls.
2) Apparently Oculus uses a 1:1 head movement. Track IR uses a 1:10 head movement when you look around. This means Oculus is gonna cause a lot of neck pain.
Did you guys have any opinions on Oculus vs Track IR?

Hey just wanted to let you guys to the South of us that we are going to be banding doves up here for the next few weeks.
I got involved with the Oregon Fish and Wildlife dept. today through a volunteer program that I am in and we are going to trap and band at least 200 doves up here. 200 is the goal, but if we can catch more we will. The Feds. want to track migration and hunting to get a better overview of where these birds are going and where they are being hunted. The only thing I can say so far is good luck reading the band, better have a magnifying glass handy. Started today by placing the traps with bait in them unset to get the birds used to going into them. There are at least 200 just in the small area that I am involved in and this is state wide. Will post more info as it happens.

Women's Soccer Runs Past Western Illinois, 3-1
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – A flurry of second-half scoring, including two goals in a span of five minutes, propelled the Green Bay women's soccer team to a 3-1 triumph over Western Illinois in game two of the Phoenix Soccer Tournament on Friday afternoon at Aldo Santaga Stadium.
The Phoenix picked up its first win of the season to improve to 1-1-1, while the Leathernecks dropped to 1-2-0.
Battling for possession in the first half, each squad saw its fair chance to put a tally on the board. Green Bay had a strong opportunity in the 17th minute with a free kick from outside the box that drew WIU keeper Laura Atkinson off her line, but no Phoenix players capitalized on the open net to put one away. The Leathernecks saw an opportunity with seven minutes remaining when Chrissy Campbell sent a shot on goal, forcing Katy Pilarzyk (Madison, Wis.) to make a punch save over the net.
After the opening 45 minutes, WIU owned a 6-4 advantage in shots while the Phoenix led corner kicks, 3-2.
The Green Bay scoring assault started building in the 64th minute when Chandra Eigenberger (Green Bay, Wis.) took a corner kick and Jenna Harrington (Madison, Wis.) put up two consecutive shots that were blocked, including one that went out over the goal line for another corner kick. Hekla Palmadottir (Akranes, Iceland) took the corner and bent it in near the far post for her second goal of the season to give the Phoenix a 1-0 edge.
Just over five minutes later Hannah Kernen (Belleville, Wis.) and Heidi Hartmann (Plymouth, Minn.) found themselves in a two-on-one situation in the box. The duo was able to get past the defender and get the keeper to come out after the ball, allowing Kernen to tap it in to extend the advantage to 2-0.
Eigenberger tallied the final goal of the match when she looked to send a ball into the box in the 77th minute. Looking like a play wasn't going to develop, the ball worked its way past WIU's Atkinson and crossed the line for a 3-0 lead.
The Leathernecks got on the board in the 87th minute with a penalty kick goal by Tyra Markey, putting the score at 3-1.
For the match, Green Bay led in shots, 14-12, and corner kicks, 8-3. Hartmann finished with a game-high five shots. Pilarzyk played the entirety, picking up her first win of the season after allowing one goal and stopping five shots.
Green Bay will look to take home the tournament title on Sunday as it faces Eastern Illinois at 2 p.m. The Panthers lost to Northern Iowa, 2-0, in the first match of the tournament.

I don't think anyone here would argue that building an identity or trying to own is to be avoided. I suppose the question is: does having a religious approach necessitate building an identity or trying to own?
In a very real sense, whether we want to or not, until we are awakened, we are going to have to work with the "self." The Buddha recognized that. Morality, generosity, lovingkindness are all ways of working with the self, as is sati bhavana, leading to vipassana, It is all stuff used for the raft. In a very real sense we cannot let go of it without awakening, but we can cultivate a very different relationship to all of this that does not feed the grasping after, or the aversion.

55 to 59 used a lot of similar sheetmetal on all those trucks; fenders, hoods and emblems were most of the changes from yr to yr.
all the cabs were the same some had big window, some had a small back window.
all doors and interior were the same depending on options order, of which there were few.
all the beds are the same: short step, long step, longer step, cameo 55-58 and fleetside 58-59
the big differences were the frames: all 3100 (1/2 t short) are the same and every part is available for this series truck.
make sure you have a 3100 frame before you buy any suspension parts or mods.
buy a factory assembly manual from lmc, it will be your build bible.
bought 57 chevy 3100 apache, need to identify trans
just picked up a 57 chevy apache. says 3100 on the fenders but guy i bought it from says the body parts are from three different trucks. although the motor, trans, and chasis are original. is there some kind of ID on the trans that can help me figure out what it is? i know its a straight six stovebolt motor, but it could be the 235 or 261.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Hopefully the heart issues won't cause problems for Ava. My friend had a lab mix who has diagnosed with a heart murmur that progressed to a grade 4 when he was about 5 years old. She took him to a cardiologist and was given a very poor prognosis. She still walked him, took him hiking, etc. She took him back for a check-up 6 months or a year later (can't remember) and his murmur had decreased! He lived to be a ripe old aged and died of something else.
I think in regards to the food, Ava has been on Orijen 6 Fish in the morning and Nature's Variety Instinct RAW at night. I'm pretty sold on RAW just haven't made that leap over to ordering and chopping and dicing the meat myself. Just that NV RAW is so convenient albeit pricey. You think it's the food? My mom did inform me that she chewed up a pair of my dad's work gloves that were really dirty and had looked like she swallowed a finger. But I'll keep an eye out. I really want to avoid this again...
Yes to slippery elm and activated charcoal! I've been building up my first aid kit for the dog, I just haven't gotten around to adding those items in. I have the usual stuff from vet wrap to OTC stuff to Gas X Strips. Those two items will make it in to the kit this weekend.
Regarding the discussion with vaccines...we're pretty active and come in contact with other dogs. As much as I get and believe that over vaccination can be just as detrimental to being under vaccinated, I personally can't say no if my vet presents a really good logical argument with me. Plus she has decided geese and rabbit poop are delicacies that she must have no matter how many times i say 'leave it'. I had also decided to take a month off of Frontline since the weather got significantly cooler with frost being on the ground every morning. Guess what? I found an engorged tick this morning. I'm assuming its from hiking in the back woods this past weekend. She gets Springtime Bug Off since she was young and I spray her down with Sentry Natural Defense Tick and Flea Spray before we head into the woods. I also spray a bandanna with it and tie that to her neck. So I may be putting the monthly Frontline on her again...
I think for background on the heart thing (which I will create another thread post cardiologist appointment next Wed), she had a murmur when she was a young puppy. Was hoping she grew out of it by 6 months. No such luck. Contacted the breeder, breeder said lets wait another month or two. Was planning to schedule a vet appointment soon until this week's episode. Heart murmur is now more pronounced (more like a solid 2, possible 3 based on diff vet's interpretation) and with the tummy xray capturing about 2/3 of her heart showing it is quite enlarged.
I'll be asking my vet and the cardiologist whether or not if I can even spay her. I was planning to wait until after her first heat.
It's a little depressing cause I'm so active and she loves being active and I wanted to see if she had interest in herding when she got to be a year old...obviously I'm thinking worst case scenario and that I only have limited time with her.
My first two dogs were mall bought puppies...I thought I had smarten up by going to a breeder. I don't know if I blame the breeder as much as I blame myself for not doing even more research.
I'm relieved to her Ava is feeling better. I thought about her last night.
Keep us updated on the cardio visit next week.
Enlarged heart can have a few causes and not all would result in a quick death, Hopefully this is something that can be managed with special care and medications.
Our vet says he'll do well for years on this combo...

100% agree here, it sounds like this vet did everything I would seen done in my own clinic
Coming into this discussion late -
My dog had colitis almost all the time, any little stress would set if off. The cure? Homemade diet, graduating to dehydrated raw like The Honest Kitchen and we also feed prepared raw like the Natures's Variety. Is it expensive? Yes, but our dog has been in great health now for several months, no more worrying about waking up in the middle of the night to take her out to poop, or worse spending the day cleaning my carpet. I also forgot to mention our dog had a few bouts of giardia, which I believe causes the colitis along with all the drugs to treat it.
The enlarged heart? Not so good from my neighbor's experience. Her 2 year old Husky was diagnosed with enlarged heart and murmur when she was brought to urgent care for stomach upset. (found during routine check). The heart was enlarged due to valves being damaged. Two different vets could not agree whether it was congenital or from an illness when the dog was a puppy. The dog lived another 7 months. Enlarged heart can have a few causes and not all would result in a quick death, Hopefully this is something that can be managed with special care and medications.

AJT I'm so glad Ava is better. What a scare!
We learned a lot in this thread, about HGE and gastroenteritis, etc.

I find the continual vet bashing disappointing; when someone's best advice is "avoid the vet office at all costs", it's really alarming and potentially deadly for your pet.
If you don't like your vet or don't trust them, find a new one.
It's that simple.
We've vet shopped a number of times over this past year; the vet we've settled on costs a bit more than our "usual" one and he's further away, but I love his care and treatment of our dogs. He'll find us even when we're there with fosters, to ask about how our personal pets are doing; and he looks really nice in jeans

I am at work right now, I just had a long talk with the DR about this. At first, per both our understanding, HGE included bloody diarrhea AND vomiting. Hemorrhagic Gastroenteritis, the gastroenteritis implying both vomiting and diarrhea, hemorrhagic obviously bloody. Looking at the very words, it's simply a description (BTW per this case, I disagree with the vet, I think this very much was HGE because it was bloody diarrhea and vomiting, with an unknown cause, but that's neither here nor there. YAY Ava for doing better, THAT is the important part). Colitis is a thickening and irritation of the intestine wall, (Col - intestine, Itis - inflammation), causing diarrhea. Once again, just another DESCRIPTION and not an actual specific DISEASE.
Per the understanding of the two, every HGE case WOULD have colitis, because the intestine would obviously be inflamed and irritated. However, not every case of colitis would be HGE, because not every case of colitis includes vomiting or the presence of blood.
We did however just search on a veterinary forum database, and it looks like the consensus is that HGE DOESN'T always have to include vomiting, just bloody diarrhea alone could be termed HGE.
Someone asked earlier, HGE is vomiting/bloody diarrhea usually of UNKNOWN cause, therefor my Dr and I both agree Parvo wouldn't really be considered a type of HGE because there is a known cause. But I guess theoretically you could consider it HGE caused by the parvo virus.

Caution however...please consider never vaxing again re: heart, and no heartworm prevention, at least until you read up on the likelyhood of catching it depending on your area (have to have 2 weeks consistant temps of 56F day and night - then after a heat wave you treat, not before)..will forward the articles regarding.
and the post/jab about vets is not about all vets, just vets that over script for minor issues, and only because I CARE about dogs...as one says on this thread....they aren't humans w/fur, which means they also shouldn't be fed processed food or be drugged to DEATH!
It is unlikely that a heart would be enlarged in conjunction with heart disease unless there was a murmur or other symptoms of heart disease. It may be over-interpretation of the films by the veterinarian. At my clinic we ALWAYS send out films to a board-certified radiologist for additional interpretation.
If there are no other signs of heart disease, such as a murmur, then I would first want said radiographs to be sent to a radiologist FIRST. It may very well save a cardiology exam fee, if they say "No, we do not feel this is an enlarged heart, and there are not other indicators of cardiac disease". I'm not saying your vet is wrong, or your vet "sucks". But xrays, it's a skill to read them. That's why we have board-certified radiologists that do nothing but sit all day and read radiographs.
As far as a link between an enlarged heart and the episode of diarrhea, I see none. Yes, there MAY potentially be a link (parvo can affect the heart), but it is VERY VERY unlikely. Most likely, two separate problems here, as posted above.
I am finding your posts to be very DANGEROUS, the more I see of them. I'm sorry, I am speaking out from a professional standpoint. I have agreed with you before, I DO think in many cases we over-vaccinate. But to REPEATEDLY warn people against vaccination, and to link every problem under the sun to vaccination? NO. You are doing every member on this board a disservice, and that is my professional opinion.
WHEN, not if but WHEN someone listens to you, and WHEN they don't vaccinate against rabies, and WHEN there dog either kills a raccoon or gets out and bites someone or something else happens, there will be LARGE consequences. Or WHEN that person, who takes there dog to the dog park every single day, doesn't vaccinate and their dog gets distemper, there WILL be consequences.
Every person needs to look at their risks and exposure levels. We just euthanized a 1 year old intact mastiff that was NEVER vaccinated, and it had distemper.
So glad to hear that she is feeling better, drinking on her own and has an appetite! I'm glad to hear that her blood work came out ok and wish you the best with the cardiology appt.
I second the suggestion to keep activated charcoal and slippery elm on hand. They have gotten a couple of my dogs (and me!) through some really nasty GI stuff.

text: I'm a prepper too. Prepper is the new term and sounds so much better than all the other terms the lefties brand us with. I have stocked up on RWS 124 grain FMJs. They are high velocity and accurate and function reliably in my nines and always make minor power factor so I'm confident when I go to compete. They are fairly inexpensive at Walmart too. I have several magazines of 147 grain Hydra-Shoks that I use for self defense and carry but that's just to make any jury happy because that's what cops shoot people with. I always load my mags one down so they are sure to seat during quick mag changes. I hardly ever load all my mags unless I'm going to a shoot. If open warfare breaks out, then I'll keep more than 2 loaded. It looks to me like we're in for a slow ride to the bottom so you'll have time to load up. Just be sure you don't get so focused on hoarding that you don't shoot lots of ammo in practice. I'd rather be a real good shot with 200 rounds of ammo for battle than a poor one with 100,000 rounds in my gun safe. Most of us will be nothing more than a supply of provisions, ammo, guns and gear for the competent fighters.

|Why don't you just take a cold shower and run out into your back yard and beat yourself with a stick for a while ? You may well survive the Cape Hatteras trip, but from my perspective...if I was an experienced off-shore skipper and was looking for crew to help me sail a boat through bad seas in the middle of winter, I would start with the most experienced crew I could find, so that when I lost consciousness from hypothermia there would be someone on board with the seamanship and navigational skills to take over and maybe give me a chance of survival. After I had asked all of my qualified acquaintances, and received responses ranging from incredulous through dismissive to downright hostile, I would start approaching people who had spent some time sailing on lakes...
....life would be easier for those of us who kinda live here! There have we hi-jacked this thread enough now???!!!
Paulk...good post. That is why I would like to lock them...leave them readable but make new posters start a new thread. Just one opinion. Jeff has said he will look at the issue but things will probably stay as they are as locking down posts tends to reduce traffic/page views which is how an ad supported site makes money. If everyone would just use a little common sense and
1. Look at the date of the last post before making one.
2. Starting a new thread for current questions.
....life would be easier for those of us who kinda live here! There have we hi-jacked this thread enough now???!!!
Ask your own questions.
The point is, if you have new questions, start a new thread. Hijacking an old one hides the new, pertinent question beneath (here for example) six pages of talk about the stupidity of heading out totally unprepared into a spot that's dangerous enough in the summer, let alone the wintertime. A new question about which foul weather gear might be the best NOW is not helped by hiding it under the heading "Cape Hatteras in February", where such gear might have been discussed, but is now dated. If the original poster wants to come back two years later and tell us how he did, and REFERENCE the previous thread, great. If you have questions about Cape Hatteras in February, or any other topic, look in the archives or do a site search for it. Ending up with multi-page threads that are too long for anyone to wade through, and which go off on tangents serves no purpose. Look for example at the thread about the US submarine hitting a Japanese tanker in the Straights of Hormuz. Posters at the tail end of that thread apparently read the heading and went to the end and posted w/o reading the thread or following through with the links mentioned by earlier posters. If they had done their homework, they wouldn't be quoting "rules of the road" and berating the sub skipper for not looking before surfacing. The submarine was submerged with no apparent intention of surfacing when the tanker passed over it. Anyone who has tried to transfer passengers under way knows that when two vessels come together, great care needs to be taken as the two hulls approach one another and the Bernoulli effect (lessening of pressure when fluids pass over curved surfaces) tends to pull the two together. This seems to be what happened - with the submarine being pulled up, into contact with the surface ship. All this is in the thread, but ignored, because the thread has gotten too long. New posters continue the misinformation stream. Shorter threads help surfers to read more carefully, because they don't get bored with the minutiae, and may hopefully lead posters them to focus on more pertinent information. Reading the original posting date avoids "helping" someone who has already left and possibly already returned, sold his boat and bought an RV. Please don't clog the system by dredging up old issues and treating them like they were new.
Keeping threads free can save a life. Don't lock them up.

So the worst part would actually be crossing the Gulfstream in a month when winds are predominantly from the north. In fact, if the winds are from the north and exceed 20 kts, we won''t go. How does this sound? I know I''m feeling better about it. By the way, downloading a copy of your posts and showing them to my friend helped. thanks.
I actually like looking through the archives as a new sailor and sometimes I like bringing them back and asking questions about them. Some of this information is timeless, and there has been a lot of energy sharing experience and priceless knowledge in them. Let them live.

Does that mean that this "dead" thread is fittest, since it seems to have survived Cape Hatteras? Now that's seamanship. And it's almost Feb again.

Chevrolet Cruze Recall 13V023000
The Driver's Airbag may not Deploy as Expected
The airbag warning light could illuminate or the driver's front airbag may not deploy as designed.
General Motors will notify owners of affected vehicles beginning February 13, 2013. There may be no symptoms related to this recall or in some cases, the airbag warning light may illuminate. If don't receive notification and you feel you should have, please contact your dealer. It's helpful to have your vehicle identification number (VIN) when you call. The General Motors recall number 12261.
The driver's front airbag includes a safety device called a shorting bar - this prevents unexpected deployment of the airbag when it is removed from the vehicle. In this case, the shorting bar may intermittently contact the airbag terminals while it is installed in the vehicle. This could result in illumination of the airbag warning light or the airbag may not deploy when necessary. Failure of the airbag to deploy would increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash. Dealers will replace the steering wheel airbag coil to correct this concern.
January 24, 2013
General Motors is recalling certain model year 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze, and Chevrolet Sonic vehicles. The driver side frontal air bag has a shorting bar which may intermittently contact the air bag terminals.
If the bar and terminals are contacting each other at the time of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver's frontal airbag, that airbag will not deploy, increasing the driver's risk of injury.
General Motors will notify owners, and dealers will replace the steering wheel airbag coil, free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on February 13, 2013. Owners may contact General Motors at 1-800-521-7300.
This is General Motors recall number 12261 and is an expansion of NHTSA recall 12V-522. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Should I break down the old hive again, or should I wait longer so as not to keep disrupting it? I didn't see any queen cells. If the queen didn't make it would they have started rearing a new one by now? I'm not sure how to proceed at this point.

the first variable would be are you extracting radially or tangentially? and as someone suggest the next variable is diameter of the extractor can.as a general guide line I think fish_stix numbers looks about right.I personally use a variable speed drill (chucked to the shaft of my extractor reel) with a variable voltage device (used in a physics lab) that allows me to get around all the gearing problems.

We have been made aware of several recent incidents in which a test-preparation firm has contacted an Excelsior College student requesting access to their Excelsior College Examinations ® preparatory materials, including practice exams. Sharing learning resources with a test-preparation firm is a clear violation of the academic honesty code. Students found to have engaged in academic dishonesty at Excelsior College will be subject to disciplinary action.

Howdy all, I'm GDafi (Mark) from Cairns in the far north of Queensland, in Australia.
I'm not building yet, but have been a lurker at this and several other prop type sites for quite a while. Working shift work is not condusive to creative work, but the chance of me getting a 9-5 job is good, and then i can try my hand at some prop building.
I'm an Admin at a sci fi website as well which takes up a bit of my spare time.http://www.sofageek.com
When I do get spare time at the minute, I usually relax with a homebrew or 16
