Howdy All,
I'm a Southern Illinois duck hunter who is hoping for a job offer in Denver. I was wondering if y'all could fill me in on the basics of the waterfowl situation. How much pressure do the public areas get? Is it tough/impossible to get permission from farmers? Can the rivers be hunted (successfully) without a boat in public areas? I'd be willing to drive 3 hours from Denver for decent hunting away from the crowds. Just wondering what kind of hunting I should expect. Appreciate any info.

Christian Teacher Under Investigation For Opposing Homosexuality
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has chimed in on the controversy saying that he found Knox's comments on her personal Facebook page "disturbing."
"I think that kind of example is not a positive one at all to be setting for folks who have such an important and influential position in our society," Christie told WABC Radio. "I'm really concerned about those kinds of statements being made."
A New Jersey high school teacher is under investigation after she allegedly posted a message on her private Facebook page that she opposed homosexuality because of her Christian faith.
The Union Township school district said they are investigating whether Viki Knox violated school policies when she allegedly posted remarks saying homosexuality is a sin that "breeds like cancer" and describing it as "perverted."
Knox also complained, on her private Facebook page, that Union High School featured a display recognizing October as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender History month. The display reportedly featured photos of Harvey Milk, Neil Patrick Harris and Virginia Woolf.
"The district is taking the matter very seriously," school superintendent Patrick Martin said. "We are running a thorough investigation. The board of education will act appropriately based on the outcome of the investigation."
He declined to confirm or deny reports that Knox was put on leave and was escorted from the school building by administrators.
Hundreds of people, both supporters and critics turned out at a school board meeting Tuesday night after a statewide civil rights organization launched a campaign demanding the firing of Knox.
"I was pleased with the openness of the meeting and the decorum of the meeting," Martin said. "There was no calling out, no cheering, or booing. People were listening to what was being said."
Knox has been advised by her union attorney not to talk to the media, but she was defended by her husband in an interview with WCBS-TV.
"They can persecute her but they can't prosecute her," Gene Knox told the television station, stating that "everybody's entitled to an opinion."
But a spokesman for Garden State Equality, a group that advocates gay rights, said that's not true.
"She should not be teaching in the classroom," said Steven Goldstein, chair of the gay rights group. He said her "vicious, anti-gay remarks on Facebook crossed the line."
Goldestein's group launched a statewide campaign to have the Christian teacher fired – sending hundreds of phone calls and emails to the school district.
"I find what she wrote on Facebook endangers the learning atmosphere for students beyond repair and violates the school district's own policy of a safe and comfortable environment for all," Goldstein said. "She's no longer in a position to teach in the classroom because she will make many students fearful of her hatred."
Ada Davis, an attorney with the Alliance Defense Fund, attended the meeting and said she was very alarmed at how the school system is treating the Christian teacher. The ADF recently represented a Florida school teacher accused of posting similar anti-gay Facebook messages.
"The problem is they don't want anyone who believes homosexuality is a sin to be a teacher," Davis said. "Teachers obviously should not be punished for exercising these kinds of constitutionally protected rights. She has a right to communicate her religious beliefs."
Davis said the ADF found it necessary to take a stand on behalf of the teacher because of what they called the massive opposition against her by New Jersey's homosexual community.
"She is being persecuted for having a belief," Davis said. "It's very scary – she has a right to communicate her religious beliefs."
Davis reiterated that what Knox did was on her own time, in her own house, and on her personal computer.
Does she believe the teacher is a victim of a witch hunt?
"That's a very good way to describe it," Davis said. "Any opposition is just attacked."
Gay rights groups aren't the only ones attacking the teacher. John Paragano, an attorney and former member of the Union Township Committee, told The New York Times he was offended by what Knox wrote on her private Facebook page. He questioned whether she could enforce the state's anti-bullying law.
"Teachers are at the forefront of that, enforcing that," he told the newspaper. "My concern is that if this teacher had these feelings, is she going to call out the bullying of a gay, lesbian, and transgender person?"
Superintendent Martin was non-committal on how long the investigation might last.
I think it's a very tough situation for many people," he said. "We're having a very difficult time working our way through this. It's tough all around. I don't think anybody is really enjoying this."

[This was the first forum of the 2011/2012 season, so members were given the opportunity to introduce themselves, the areas they represent and what they would like to get from the forum]
Dynamics of the Forum and its future role.
The forum has been in existence since 2002. It has had a strong impact and input into such areas as the Arsenalisation of the new stadium, decisions such as kit design, steward protocols etc. We will tighten up on the ways fans can communicate with representatives. Some forum members have direct relationships with the fan base they represent - for others we will develop a web-form based process on the Arsenal.com website for fans to get in touch with you and help get an even better understanding of what fans want from the Club.
The Club wants to use this forum to formally report to fans on their thinking behind decisions and also wants input from fans via the forum representatives on what is working. We will bring our ideas to this forum and look to you for input and the fans' perspective. We will also be looking to work with you outside the forum in terms of getting your input and feedback. This forum is one of several ways we communicate with fans. For example we had meetings with AISA (Arsenal Independent Suuporters' Association) in developing our ticketing policy. We want to discuss substantive themes at the forum, not particular issues or queries which have more effective channels of resolution elsewhere. The main themes we would like to develop with your support and insight are:
- Ticketing / Pricing Strategy
- Stadium Development & Arsenalisation
- Diversity & Inclusion
- Supporter Consultation
- Community Activities
- Complaints Procedures
We will also be looking at other topics such as Merchandising and Policing and Stewarding Policy.
Overview from Ivan Gazidis
It has been an eventful last 6 months for all those associated with the Club and obviously not all of it has been positive. We strongly believe that this Club is at its best when we stick together. We know that some fans are unhappy about where we are and that a lot of discussions take place amongst fans about what the Club needs to do. We understand and respect that. Our ultimate aim is to create pride and esteem amongst our fans and we accept that some of our recent performances have not engendered that.
We saw what the spirit of our fans is after our 8-2 defeat to Manchester United. Our fans at that game were absolutely fantastic. How they reacted to the game illustrated the strength of feeling they have for the Club.
On the field we are trying to compete with the likes of Manchester United, whose revenue is massively higher than ours, and . Chelsea and Manchester City who have unlimited funds available. With our new stadium and our internal organisation we can still compete at the highest level in Europe and we identify ourselves as being one of the top 10.
For us to be competitive within this context, we need to be better than them in what we do. As you all know, we now have a new majority shareholder in Stan Kroenke, who owns about two- thirds of the shares. About 3 ½ percent are owned by fans and the remaining 30 or so percent by Red and White Holdings. Mr Kroenke believes in our self-sustaining model and we should be proud of being able to stand on our own two feet.
There was a significant overhaul of the squad over the summer and contrary to press reports, it materialised in the way we wanted, with planned early and late business. We bought youth in early and experience in towards the end of the transfer window. We believe the squad now has more depth and breadth and we now have increased cover for our younger players who are continuing to grow within the Club. Given the context of how the window works, we achieved what we set out to do.
As a fan, it is sometimes hard to get a full understanding of the long-term goals of the Club and how the transfer policy fits in with that.
When you are in the middle of the transfer window you are trying to execute strategy. You do not want to reveal too much about where you are with certain players. You will always get a lot of speculation and incorrect information during the transfer window, especially towards the end. We are happy with how the transfer window went and how the playing staff fit in with our future plans. We have to understand the market we are working in. £30-£40 million a few years ago was world record fee territory, now if you're not strategic in what you do, you can buy a relatively average player for £20 million.
There has been some antagonism in the press towards Arsenal specifically lately- what can the Club do about and as importantly what can we as fans do about it?
In relation to transfers, we've always taken a low key approach and if we were to counter every inaccuracy reported in the press then we wouldn't have time to do anything else. In terms of the transfer window, all clubs have multiple conversations going on with multiple players of all different levels. The only two people who know our ultimate aims in the transfer window are myself (Ivan Gazidis) and Arsène Wenger. The dynamic of a transfer story can change hour by hour and any releases given may already be out of date, so we feel it's better to confirm something once it's happened. There's a lot of white noise at the sharp end of the transfer window and the media do tend to exaggerate a story. Arsène ignores all this and focuses on the footballing elements required for the squad. Player decisions are based on long-term proprietary statistical analysis. Ultimately, there is no agenda against the Club. Journalists are writing stories to sell newspapers and we are by no means the only Club in their line of fire.
We have further continued the Arsenalisation of the stadium over the summer. The lower cores underneath the murals and around the lower exterior of the stadium are terrific. We have also put banners around the stadium. We have incorporated fans as well as staff as they are a core part of our fabric and history. The process has taken several years but we now feel and hopefully the fans feel a great sense of pride about our stadium. We are also developing plans for celebrating our 125th Anniversary in December and we will send you some more details about that. We had some good feedback on potential banner designs and we've launched an App to get further fan ideas in terms of what they want on banners inside the stadium.
In terms of ticket prices, we consulted and took input from various fan representative groups. The price increase was not a decision we came to lightly. The context of this decision is that we had only raised prices twice in the last five years. If we had raised them by inflation year on year, they would be much higher than they are now. We always try to balance everyone connected to this Club wanting us to be able to compete with the likes of Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea and being fair to our fans during the current economic climate. Working with AISA & AST, we are developing a more subtle pricing strategy for the future. We will always be sensitive to the economic realities of our fans.
Our ticket exchange scheme is integral to getting as many fans involved as possible. Those who have season tickets can use it as a way to recoup some of the cost and makes the season ticket more affordable. It also gives more fans the opportunity to get to games. This scheme delivers a lot to our fans and we are looking at new technologies to improve it for the future. About 1,000 to 1,500 tickets per game are exchanged in this way.
Can Arsenal use any leverage to push UEFA to implementing their talked about rule of clubs trading within defined financial rules?
Last week I met with UEFA and we were informed that they are looking at it very hard and they are serious about enforcing it. I am also on the European Clubs Association and that body is 100% behind financial fair play. We will not see any action until at least the end of next season, when clubs will start to be assessed. We can see with all the drama around the transfer window that the perpetual drive to "spend, spend spend" is not the long-term answer within football. We don't want our fans thinking that the only way to assuage the feelings of hurt pride is to spend indiscriminately as a way out.
We are already seeing the negative ramifications of this culture in Europe. For example La Liga is now a two team league and the Italian league is effectively financially broken. On the flip side, the Bundesliga in Germany is a lot more competitive due to more responsible spending and there is a strong relationship between the clubs and fans. It is difficult to run a club in a responsible and sustainable way but we believe that in the long term this will be more effective in fans feeling proud of the Club and the team winning trophies.
What was the thinking behind increasing the number of Red level tickets to 3,500 for every home Premier League game?
We have a very large number of Red level members. We also have a very committed band of long-term season ticket holders. We want to ensure they continue their association with the Club and we also want to embrace our Red Members and our international fan base. There is a relatively high level of churn within the Red Membership category and we want these groups of fans to be life-long supporters. We can help achieve that by giving them as much access as possible to games. For a lot of Red members, the sole purpose of membership is to gain access to games. We want to expand what it means to be a member, including things such as opening up Arsenal Player. 85,000 of our 200,000 overall membership used it to watch our opening pre-season game and we will expand this service to give fans more coverage on events behind the scenes and interactions with players.
What proportion of overall revenue do you obtain from ticket sales?
Currently, it is a very important part of our balance sheet. Ticketing and match day revenue equates to approximately 40-45% of our overall revenue. Our long-term strategic growth is to develop existing and grow new revenue streams so that we become less reliant on ticket sales and therefore have more flexibility around them. We are developing the commercial capability to make this happen. Our two major sponsorship deals are locked down into 2014 but our new relationship with Indesit is a good example of what we are achieving. In the past, our secondary sponsorship deals were relatively local in nature. We need to reach out and develop the connection with our global fan base and our new commercial relationships are beginning to reflect this. When we come to re-negotiate the deals with Emirates Airlines and Nike, we will be able to deliver to them a global proposition and will change their engagement with us as a Club.
How far behind Manchester United are we in terms of our global commercial ventures?
They are currently the biggest club brand in the world. We have a way to go and we will be attempting to close the gap with them over the next few years.
Can you give a bit more background about the relationship you've entered into with Indesit?
One of the main things that attracted them to us is that they want to sell their products around the same values that we have as a Club, namely quality and reliability. They are going to associate with us not just here in the UK, but in Europe and Russia. Other deals we have agreed, namely with Citreon and Carlsberg, were related to the Summer tour to Asia. There has been a lot of behind the scenes activity over a long period of time in negotiating and coming up with these commercial relationships. We are ahead of our own plans in relation to this and the success of these types of ventures improves the sustainability of the Club and ensures that we can continue to compete and win at the highest level on the football field.
As you all know, we had a very successful tour to Asia over the summer. We set ourselves some objectives before the tour, with the first one being that we integrate the tour as part of the overall pre-season training process in terms of preparing the players and ensuring that the players enjoyed the experience. Secondly, we wanted to promote ourselves as a global Club. We know we are watched and supported by millions of fans around the globe and we are aware of the need to develop this support into a meaningful relationship with the Club. Thirdly we wanted to actively engage these supporters. In China we developed our digital market platform and relationship with fans there and this helps in developing our commercial relationships with partners. It also provided a good way for different areas of the Club to work closely together on the trip and understand how we are all working towards the same goal.
The knowledge of the fans out there was amazing, a lot of them knew who the Club doctor was! In terms of the objective of expanding our Club globally, the most effective and scalable way of doing this is digitally and we built a digital campaign around the tour. We built a relationship with a couple of Chinese media companies, including a Chinese internet portal called QQ and we had viral videos of the players talking Chinese available in that country, as well as hosting Web Chats. Over 5 million people tuned into a web-chat with Bacary Sagna and Tomas Rosicky with hundreds of thousands queuing up to ask questions. So we now have a massive base of fans in that part of the world and having this level of support will help us build more effective partnerships with our commercial partners.
How did the players and coach find it from a footballing perspective?
The team spirit and bonding that arose and developed on tour made it worthwhile and overall our injury list coming into this season has been less than in previous years. We made sure that doctors and medical staff were heavily involved in the planning of the tour.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Saturday Vids: Income Inequality and HOPE Credit Union
I'm currently taking a sociology class called "Perspectives on Inequality" and the first major issue we've addressed is the current state of income inequality in the United States. The U.S. is the most wealth-unequal country in the world and it's an issue that's getting worse over time. For instance, incomes of the bottom 90% of Americans grew only $59 (adjusted for inflation) from 1966 to 2011, while incomes for the top 10% rose by $116,071 (more stats can be found here). It's also no secret that income inequality — while a serious issue for American society at large — is also undeniably gendered.
Luckily, there are some people out there trying to address this problem: like William Bynum and the HOPE Credit Union, which "empowers communities with member-owned …

Here are some general test shots to help evaluate the camera's overall image quality, including the zoom range of the lens. Some pictures may be clicked to download the full size original image.
This is undoubtedly my dream camera!
By the way, it says 1920x180 Video recording in your specification table.
I really think Canon missed a trick installing the same old 9 point autofocus system (which I hate!) in the new 5DMK2...that and the 3.9 FPS are my only gripes in an otherwise brilliant camera. Even the price is acceptable.
I have been shooting Pro Canon for 8 years now and have always found the locations of the AF points pretty useless, especially when shooting sports subjects, with the centre focus point being the only point with reliable sensetivity, especially in low light. If only they could have spread them out further (rules of thirds anyone?) so that focusing and recomposing wasn't always necessary.
I already have a 1D MK3 and 2 x 40D's (the best value all round performing DSLR IMO) and a 5D, and am inches away from pulling the trigger on this one, again....I did have 2 pre-orders on this body 4 months back - and none of them came up with the stock when I had the cash. Stock levels still seem to be very low in the UK and they are very hard to come by sans kit lenses.
We'll see how long I can resist!
I have had the 5DmkII for just over a month now and i must say it is a superb bit of kit.
I would buy this camera just for its high ISO noise capabilities, even if the rest of the package was not as good as it is( yes i know the d700 is /slightely/ better at high ISO, but the canon range of pro lenses is more diverse if you don't want to shoot primarily wide angle).
I agree with you lifethroughalens, that the 9 point autofocus is a slight disappointment, but it really isn't the end of the world. The 6 additional (invisible) assist points really do help the AF when tracking moving subjects allot and it will do fine with action/sports as long as this is not your primary concern. Focusing is accurate & fast in all but but very low light.If you want to shoot sports, the 1DIII is still the way to go. Moving the points further out would be ALLOT better i agree.
I have a few examples of moving subjects here
This dog is running extremely fast and i had no problems tracking him.
I also have a few, non-center, panning shots that i have not yet uploaded which focused equally accurately.
I would not buy the 5DmkII as a sports body, your 1DMKII is already the best you can get for this, but i would buy it in a heartbeat to replace your existing 5D or 40D bodies.It really is allot better at high ISO and considering that the 5D Classic was great, this is a very bold statement!
If you like strobist work, having the ability to comfortably use these high ISO's without the fear of shed loads of PP to remove noise, you can use much lower speedlight power levels so you can keep up very high refresh rates.
Personally i cant wait for the 1DIV - if it has these ISO capabilities along with 10fps shutters speeds, it could possibly be the perfect camera, but that is pure speculation obviously.
"The only other full-frame DSLRs available at the time were its big brothers the EOS 1D Mk2 and EOS 1Ds Mk2"
Theh 1D series is not full-frame!
Life is so damned cruel. Commiserations. Mind, this was about the cost of my Canon D60 when it first came out. It seems, in many ways, to be the ideal camera suiting most users needs - including 1080p video. Spring is here, March 1st and just saw a bee at my window! Great time to have a good camera. Me, I am now using a Samsung GX20. I wanted something different from Canon and it IS very different. LOL! Nah, it is a great camera. For 𧺫 from Amazon you get a camera better than a Canon 50D and access to all those old and new Pentax lenses. Maybe a Canon 5DMkII next year...
Another example of video. Not recorded by me unfortunately!
@ Kaben
Thanks for the info & opinion on the 5D MK2, love the shots of your 'flying' dog :)
Would like to see a 100% crop of one of those just to see if the sharpness is there. I'm sure it is, but I like pixel peaking. I've always had issues with the AI tracking on anything other than the 1D series bodies, certainly the 40D's and the 5D are way, way to slow to track fast cars and wildlife reliably...even if there just coming directly to camera.
@red hot sheep. Error fixed. Thanks! My last camera was a 1D Mark II and it is indeed not a full-frame camera - the sensor in that measured 28.7 x 19.1mm and it had a 1.3x focal length multiplier just like the 1D Mark III, the 1D Mark II N, and the original 1D.
The 5d MkII is the Obama of cameras: All the fawning is a bit unseemly. Yes, it's a great camera, but how much of the greatness is actually the 5D it updates? There is really nothing innovative about the MkII. It has basically the same sensor, tricked out with more pixels, i.e. more pixel density, with processing for the added noise. The cumbersome video is tacked on -- glorified live view output -- as a marketing gimmick, plus a few peripheral improvements. A 1.x but certainly not a 2.0.
As the long-awaited update of the 5D, the MkII a fiasco, a hasty attempt by Canon to catch up after being stirred from their complacency by the Nikon D700. And now there's Panasonic's GH1, a true innovation and a potential Canon-killer.
"And now there's Panasonic's GH1, a true innovation and a potential Canon-killer"
I think the key word there is 'potential', because panasonic are a *long* way off Canon in the development cycle. The GH1 may well be a good system, but who would want to invest in a camera system from panasonic instead of canon or nikon - if you were serious about photography?
I have read on the dpreview forum of a number of problems with the Video mode of the 5D MkII, including the following.
Stuttering of the video recording is said to happen with changes in brightness of the scene during shooting. Seems to be a result of the auto-focus system altering the aperture of the lens, and interrupting the recording stream. Locking the aperture does not seem to work. Even if it did, I cannot see how this would be of use on a video camera. It will encounter variations in brightness during shooting a scene, and exposure must be continuously variable.
The built-in mike picks up the sound of the autofocus mechanism.
The Quick-Time MOV recording file format is also roundly condemned by non Mac users.
I wonder if 5D Mk II users could comment on just how serious they have found these and other shortcomings with the Video mode.
I agree the camera is a perfect piece of kit i am a pro of 28 years and have used teh iDS MK11 for years, i am very dissapointed with the video capture as i thought it would be good when the family wanted to take some video but the focus is useless, who wants video without real time autofocus, the only good video i have taken is when i did not move, whats the point !!!
I borrowed an EOS 5D MkII with the 24-105 f/4 and the Speedlite 580EX II flashgun to shoot a friend's wedding last weekend, and I couldn't possibly have chosen a better kit for the job. I kind of wish I hadn't though, because now I have got to get one myself by any means necessary. Anyone want to buy a kidney?
Well that's a co-incidence as I was shooting a friend's wedding with the 5D2 that weekend too.
I agree, it's a great camera. Full frame is something I've craved for so long and it's just beautiful - suddenly my 24-70mm lens becomes pretty much the only lens I need for most situations.
Got some nice shots of the occasion despite the locations, a dingy registry room, basement restaurant and the total cloud cover (nebulous). I was using a Metz 45CL4 digital flash (or trying to) and tried to keep ISO at a maximum of 1600, which is definitely still very good. 3200 is acceptable for some shots but beyond that, you'd be hard pushed to salvage a decent colour shot I think.
I find its frame rate plenty good enough and have the 40D as a back up. The 9-point AF worked well in group situations, allowing me to just concentrate on getting a decent shot so no complaints about that. Also took a little video, using an external Rhode shotgun mic, but that was pretty awful really. All that kit weighed a tonne so things were very shaky! Didn't have opportunity to set up a tripod despite having one with me. Looked the part (a prat) at least.
Don't know anyone needing a kidney right now, Cliff. If I find someone I'll let you know. I wasn't paid for the day and it'll be a long while yet before I can afford any more tasty camera or a/v gear, or even beer come to think of it. Yup, plenty of sacrifices made in the pursuit of photography, taking it and viewing the work of others (mostly motion-photography of course). So, I hope you find the funds soon or otherwise get hold of one without needing to sell body parts first!
I would like to know why Canon is trying to combine an HD video in this outstanding piece of equipment! Either you shoot photos and it's already hard enough to get the right one or you concentrate on making a movie. It is absurd to combine both. Maybe for the low entry level but not at this level which is a professional level. That's why I won't buy this camera to replace my aging EOS. I have got a fantastic SONY HD camera. Why must I pay 2000 odds pound for a camera who is not going to help me shooting movie.
It's ridiculous and Canon should NOT mix pleasure and professionalism. Great great mistake from Canon.
Alex, many professionals are using this camera to take video, be it wedding or more theatrical. With the wide range of professional lenses available and (almost) full manual control of depth of field etc, they're getting very good results which far exceed anything but dedicated professional video-cameras that you'll really only see very serious video-photographers use.
Canon were mostly just responding to the competition in providing video and live-mode shooting but there is a great deal of sense in keeping up with consumer demands even on a more professionally featured camera like this. Photo-journalists, capturing news reportage or sporting events can also process high quality (2 megapixel) stills from a video sequence, this resolution (1920x1080) being more than high enough for web usage and good enough for most typical print mediums.
The limitations of using an SLR is again in having the right accessories - a better professional grade microphone (on shoe or off) and something to support such a heavy piece of equipment since you can't just rest it on your shoulder. Something like the fig-rig (from Manfrotto) would really help stabilise shots. My own limited experience shooting video has been mostly candid. I did however take some macro-video of a tiny garden spider and I can see, if you're determined and good at it, a proliferation of genuine creative uses for DSLR captured video - tilt and shift, fish-eye, lens-baby etc which you can already find on such sites as Vimeo and YouTube.
Until Canon catch up with the makers of such unoffical firmware as the Magic Lantern team and provide additional much-needed features for this camera such as gain control and timestamping, then the camera will still best serve for stills use. The video function doesn't interfere or diminish the rest of the camera's functions or performance and so I myself am very glad it's included though I don't see myself ever using it for creating any serious video.
As of 2010, just ordered mine via Digital River and staff sales. On backorder as ever it has been wherever you order it from. Come on Canon I have just sold my 5d Classic and don't want to feel I have shot myself in the foot.

Hey all,
Most threads I could find about this question were about (somewhat spoiled) teenagers. I'm closer to my mid 20s and I can finally afford a car - whichever one I choose. Since this would be truly my first car - i don't have a lot of "day-to-day" driving experience...
I've been told that I'm out of that "invincible" age I should be fine and 'grow' into it - and car insurance companies seem to think the same thing (costs pretty much the same as for a Focus).
I've seen that young people (teenagers) are recommended to start with the non-turbo version and wait to get the "crazy" out of them, but I've waited for so long as it is!!
So, I think I should be fine as long as i respect it. Do you agree?

Good News: Fewer Children Dying in Car Crashes
After analyzing data collected by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, from 2002 to 2011, the CDC has found that the number of children dying in car crashes has fallen 43 percent. That's excellent news.
On the flip side however, researchers also discovered that one in three children who did die in a car crash during 2011, were not using a seat belt or child safety seat, suggesting that many more deaths could be prevented.
According to the report, more than 9,000 children age 12 and younger died in a car crash from 2002 to 2011.
"The good news is motor vehicle deaths decreased by 43 percent over the past decade for children age 12 and younger. The tragic news is still with that decrease, more than 9,000 kids were killed on the road in this period," CDC Director Thomas Frieden told reporters in a telephone news conference.
"Thousands of children are at risk on the road because they are not buckled up," he said.
According to the report, seat belt use increased from 88 percent in 2002 to 91 percent in 2011 among all children age 7 and under. The study also confirmed earlier findings that older children are less likely to be wearing seat belts than younger children.
To prevent future deaths from car crashes, Frieden said parents should make sure their children use appropriate-sized car seats, booster seats and seat belts on every trip.
The CDC recommends that children from birth to age 2 should be in a rear-facing car seat.
At around age 2, children should be in a forward-facing car seat until at least 5 years old, or until they exceed the height and weight limit for that seat.
Booster seats are recommended for children 5 and older until they can be securely fitted with a regular seat belt. That usually means the lap belt lays across the upper thighs and the shoulder belt fits across the chest but not the neck.
Safekids.org offers 5 tips for making sure that your child is safe in their car seat.
- Make sure your child is in the appropriate seat. Check the label on your car seat for the manufacturer's recommendations on age, height and weight.
- Make sure your child is sitting in the back seat until age at least 13.
- Make sure your child is facing the right direction. Infants and toddlers should be in a rear-facing car seat until age 2. Once he or she outgrows the rear-facing seat, move your child into a forward-facing booster seat. Make sure to attach the top tether after you tighten and lock the seat belt or lower anchors.
- Perform the inch test. Once the car seat is installed and the harness is tightly buckled give it a good shake. A properly installed seat will not move more than an inch.
- Perform the pinch test. Make sure the harness is tightly buckled and coming from the correct slots (check car seat manual). Now, with the chest clip placed at armpit level, pinch the strap at your child's shoulder. If you are unable to pinch any excess webbing, you're good to go.
It's really good news that more children are surviving car crashes, but now's not the time to ease up on making sure that your child is securely seated in the car. Also, be a good example. Studies have shown that children who have grown up with parents that use seat belts regularly tend to continue to automatically use a seat belt when they learn to drive.

I got my Mystery Helmet last weekend, and it is AWESOME!!:D I can't believe the quality and accuracy. Plus, I can pull it straight on my huge noggin!:lol WITH FANS!
I got it last Friday, and finished painting and weathering it by Sunday night, because I'm impatient. Plus, paint weathers more easily when it's still tacky.;) Tape pulls it off nicely, plus scratches are easier.
Some of you may remember my DP95 recast- I added a half inch to the height, and almost 1/2 to the width. It's the same width as the MH, about 1/4" taller, and 1/4" shorter in depth. Weird.
I repainted my fiberglass DP after it was done ESB, but the MH is all me. And I think it turned out better. It came out darker, which is what I intended. And I'm very happy with the results.
Some weathering tips: Scrape chunks of the dome green off while they are all still unset. That's how I got the "Sage" to show through in spots. Also, use masking tape, wrapped around your hand, to pull off paint- especially where the wax or other undermask is.
The MH is the one WITHOUT the RF, btw.;) I took these pics just before I put my RF on it.
And before I added the red, and weathering. The "light spots" in the green (and on the silver), are the result of the wax candle I rubbed over the silver initially. I just scratched the light spots after painting it, and it works great.:) The dome and cheeks are dark, because I hadn't sanded through to the lighter shade.
Silver Alcad (sp?) base coat. The colors I used were:
Rust-Oleum Satin 7720 Sage
Krylon Satin Touch 3522 Italian Olive
Flat Black (here and there everywhere)
Color Spray Navy Satin 10-3068-1
Krylon Satin Touch 3502 Hunter Green Satin
Color Place 20011 Red Oxide Primer
Krylon Satin Touch 3503 Red Burgundy Satin
ALL of them are from Wal Mart. I'm lazy, dammit!!:lol

text: It pays to be the manager of Jessica Simpson. Not so much Ashlee Simpson though. According to Radar, Joe Simpson recently went to Cabo where he dropped $300K on a little vacation that he took with a mystery guest. This of course comes on the heels of his Hawaii vacation that he took with his daughter Jessica after Tina and Ashlee went back home. Radar also says that Tina is ticked off because the money came from their joint bank accounts and that the couple are fighting over their $300M fortune which means if they have $300M, then Jessica pretty much has more money than anyone. Ashlee must be depressed about that everyday. Maybe she can become a backup singer on Fall Out Boy's new tour. Oh wait. I forgot. To be a backup singer you really do need to sing. I guess she will just have to be happy with the paycheck Jessica sends her every two weeks for doing nothing.

Katy's Kettle Corn Popchips!
Mmmm…popchips! You know I love them. What's not to love? No artificial colors, flavors or anything really bad for you. Katy Perry apparently loves them too and recently partnered with popchips to create her own new flavor.

Tis the season for Tofurky!
Perhaps you have a vegetarian coming over for Thanksgiving this year. Seems every family has somebody nowadays that is not eating meat. Struggling over what to feed them?

Then, I went and bought one at Foodland Beretania and my niece polished it off before I ever got a chance at it!

It has become a staple in my house, but often when I tell people about this wonderful oil, I hear something to the effect of, "aren't tropical oils bad for you?" I also heard a lot about coconut oil being high in saturated fat, which didn't sound good either.
Earth Balance Coconut Peanut Butter Spread
Anybody remember that Reese's Peanut butter commercial (I might be dating myself here) where the guys are walking around the corner…one is eating chocolate and the other is eating peanut butter. They bump into each other and create a truly wonderful flavor combination. Well…it took a few decades but that winning combination of chocolate and peanut butter might have just got beat out by coconut and peanut butter! I just finished my first jar of Earth Balance Coconut and Peanut Spread ... more »

My first thought was also the distribution point/fuse block up front. My concern is maintaining the battery in the trunk when I have a fairly descent size load running directly off of it.
Not much of a voltage loss in a #4 cable though .....I presume a little resistance would keep the battery from charging too fast. This may have to be one of those things I'll have to figure out by experimentation.
Thanks for the replies.

|I spliced mine in at the battery 8 gauge wire via a 6 foot run of wire..... basiclly from the alt, over to the radiator support, started across the support then looped back to my 70 amp Maxi-fuse then to the pos post on the battery..... works very well for me. I tried to mimick GM's original wire length etc....
My choice is the fuse block because the alternator powers the loads and maintains battery voltage. The load on the #4 wire running to the battery is only battery maintain current whereas the larger loads are at the fuse block.
This assumes that the battery is in good condition.
FYI- The alt. sense wire has no load to speak of thus no voltage drop. It is only used as a reference for regulation of the alt. output.
CS Alt/sense wire/batt in trunk w accessories
Hello all. Trying to decide about where to run alt sense wire. The battery is in the trunk and the distribution block is up front under the dash. A 4 awg cable connects the block to the battery (thru a cutoff switch). The block distributes to the fuse block and rest of car. However, an EFI ECU and MSD go direct to the battery, and possibly an air ride system later on. Possible solutions are:
To the battery (hot side of switch) -
Pros - full voltage at battery for battery, ECU, MSD and anything running off the battery.
Cons - long wire run (12 awg) & possible voltage drop at sense wire?, maybe too many volts at block up front as alt compensates at rear of car?
To the block -
Pros - Full voltage at block and everything up front
Cons - possible voltage drop at battery combined with drain on battery from ECU, MSD etc running directly off of it?
Jumper to alt 'BAT' terminal -
Pros - easy & no wire run to deal with
Cons - no alt compensation
Any experience or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON – January is National Blood Donor Month, and Defense Department employees are encouraged to "roll up their sleeves and give the gift of life," said Air Force Col. Richard McBride, Armed Services Blood Program director.The military blood program also celebrates its 60th anniversary this year, with "60 Years of Donors – We Thank You," as its theme, McBride said.The program coordinates support between the military services and the combatant commands to ensure sufficient blood products and services exist wherever troops serve, McBride explained.The blood program is a tri-service effort involving the Army, Navy and Air Force, he said."Without the three services' support, we wouldn't have a military program," McBride said.The military's blood program began during the late 1940s, when organizations such as the American Red Cross supplied blood to wounded warriors during World War II, he said."We realized we needed a program to support the military," McBride said. "As the population increased, it became more difficult to support the civilian and military (sectors). The military began its own blood program so civilian blood supplies would not be compromised."In the past 60 years, blood donors have helped save wounded warriors in the Korean and Vietnam conflicts, and Operations Desert Storm, Desert Shield, Iraqi Freedom, Enduring Freedom and New Dawn, McBride said.Both civilian and military programs comply with the same federal regulations, test for infec- tious diseases and process, manufacture, store and distribute blood wherever it's needed. DoD has the added mission of supporting wounded warriors and DoD beneficiaries worldwide, McBride said."If there's a doctor and a nurse (who) need blood, it's our responsibility to make sure they have it," he said. "We have a tremendous record and now have the highest survival rate in the history of modern American warfare, which is a testament to the impact our blood program has had in bringing wounded warriors back to their loved ones."And 2012 was one of the program's most successful years in the history of military medicine, he said."Approximately 150,000 units of blood were collected," McBride said. "That's a record."The need for blood at military hospitals around the world always exists, he said.Potential donors must be at least 17 years old and free of medical conditions or diseases that would prevent them from donating, McBride said, adding that donors can contribute blood every 56 days. Blood is perishable and only considered safe to use at a maximum of 42 days by law, he added.McBride offers a good reason to donate blood to those who are unsure."If you have anyone who's a wounded warrior, a loved one, or anyone who's been in the military and has received medical care, that blood comes from people like you," he said.For people who cannot donate blood, volunteers always are needed to help advertise blood drives and to take care of donors before and after their blood is drawn, McBride said."We always need people in leadership positions to encourage troops to go out and donate," he said.McBride said some donors have contributed blood for years."We call them our 'gallon donators,'" he said.McBride told about a young Army lieutenant who recently received more than 500 units of blood from his point of injury through his recuperation and convalescence."That's a tremendous testament to the impact blood has had on wounded warriors," McBride said. "It's not just the blood – it was the dedicated service of the doctors, nurses and medics who helped him, but we'd like to think those 500 units played a big role."

I think it has more to do with what the retailer wants to tie up his money with than Eagle Imports. I went to two local shops that are listed as dealers for both Firestorm (sgs-firestorm) and Bersa (Eagle Imports). I was looking for the compact 9mm version of either model. I wanted to compare them side-by-side. Niether had either one in stock. They both had multiple .380s, though.
It seems that the .380s are more popular than the compact 9s,.40s, or .45s so that is what they stock.
Both offered to order what I wanted, then tried to steer me to something on the shelf that's more expensive. That's their job, no problem.
Both times, I bought a box of ammo, just to let them see that I had money in my wallet, and wasn't just wasting their time.

Any printer or scanner would be a good match for that camera. You should really be asking yourself what you want from the printer/scanner.

Bud's has the all black for $419 shipped and the bi-tone for $512. So it depends what you got. IMO, if you got the bi-tone and factor in sales tax, you did OK. If you got just the black, you got screwed.
BTW, welcome to the forum!
If you haven't already done so, please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the Forum Guidelines

Many have lost tens of hives with small cells.
Wild hives in natural cells die over 90% all over the world.
As I have asked before. If all those wild bees were lost then why is it so many of us are going out and getting them? As I mentioned I know off the top of my head where 10 feral colonies are right now. No wait... Now that I am thinking about it make that 12.
You are able to read reports from internet. They are not mine.
This has already been discussed on these forums before...... So you believe what is written on paper and I'll believe what I see with my own eyes.
It is a skill to learn from other people.....
You are not just "not an expert" but now you are an "idiot" too?
Gonna keep it short guys...First Finsky, saying "Yes, that discussion is very funny. It is pleasure always to discuss with people who hate learning and education." INSULTS MANY (if not all of the MEMBERS - don't do this again.
For every person YOU assume can't follow your post, dozens are.
Secondly, Don't egg on other members by calling them on their education or experience - if you need to drop to a level of "what you call EQUAL EDUCATION" then you no longer are serving as mentor or guidance to members, you bully them. Bullying will not happen Finsky, I promise you that.
Lastly, You education and experience brings a METHOD of beekeeping to the table - one that works for you. For a guy without mite issues, you seem to have lots to say. Anyone Finsky can quote anyone else until they are blue in the face, it doesn't make you smarter, it just proves you know how to use a search engine and cut and paste.
