So yeah, I thought I was gonna have to start from scratch, but its looking like my dad will be giving me his old PC. If nothing else, I'll have a case and power supply to start with
What will y'all need to know about it when I get it to tell me which parts are compatible and how to upgrade? I should probably have it Sunday afternoon if all goes according to plan. I don't mind putting a couple hundred into it... I'm not really looking to do any gaming on it, maybe some indie stuff which typically isn't resource heavy. Anything I can get on consoles will be bought for consoles still.
I won't need HD output, http://www.walmart.com/ip/HP-x20LED/16472508 that is the monitor I have.
I would like wireless in favor of the ethernet it probably has...do they still make those USB dongles for that? Better alternatives?
Any suggestions on a keyboard or mouse? It doesn't need to have over 9000 buttons for gaming, nor does it need to be wireless. Don't need something super fancy, but I do likes me some hotkeys.
Is Windows 8 or Windows 7 better? I like Windows 7, but I'm not opposed to finding myself an upgrade.
Sorry to be so dumb. I haven't had my own PC for like 3 years. I don't know anything about it, and won't until Sunday. I know it was built in like '06 - and it was a ****ing beast back then...like, probably one of the best PCs I had seen at the time. I realize that was a long time ago haha.

George Bush's "science advisers" have continually insisted global warming is simply another liberal effort to frighten people into foolish actions such as placing restrictions on the right of business to pollute the world. A new United Nations study has found that glaciers around the globe are shrinking faster than ever before. The consequences of such a melting process means within decades — not hundreds of years–bilions of people will confront the reality of insufficient water to meet their daily needs for survival. Achim Steiner, executive director of the United Nations Environment Program, says glacier melt is the "canary in the climate change coal mine. It is absolutely essential that everyone sits up and take notice."
The UNEP has tracked at least 30 major glaciers across the globe and found dramatic changes and the process of melting is accelerating. Betweeen 1980 to 1999, glacier thickness declined an average of 0.3 meters a year, but in the past few years it is now 0.5 meters. Naysayers may insist the melting process has nothing to do with pollution and is simply a normal process. Regardless, glaciers are melting and by mid-century untold millions will confront life-threatening issues related to lack of water. This is not an issue that can put aside for a few years, it is of utmost importance for human survival.

Who's Responsible for Stormwater Runoff? Supreme Court to Decide
The Supreme Court will hear a case from Los Angeles to decide for the first time who can be held responsible for polluted storm water that runs off city streets and into rivers and bays.
The Supreme Court will hear a case from Los Angeles on Tuesday to decide for the first time who can be held responsible for polluted storm water that runs off city streets and into rivers and bays.
The case arises from a long-running dispute between Southern California environmental groups and the Los Angeles County Flood Control District over the billions of gallons of polluted water that flow into the Los Angeles and San Gabriel rivers after heavy rainfalls.
Congress expanded the Clean Water Act in 1987 to include storm water runoff, and since 1990 the sprawling Los Angeles district has operated under a permit.
The Natural Resources Defense Council and the environmental group Los Angeles Waterkeeper sued the flood control district in 2008, contending it was violating its permit. The district's monitoring stations in the two rivers regularly showed unacceptably high levels of pollutants flowing in the rivers and into the ocean, the suit said.
Included were "high levels of aluminum, copper, cyanide, fecal coliform bacteria and zinc," the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals said last year. "An ocean monitoring station at Surfrider Beach showed there were 126 separate bacteria exceedances ... including 29 days where the fecal coliform bacteria limit was exceeded."
Storm water runoff "is the No. 1 source of pollution in the rivers and along the coastline," and it sickens thousands of beach visitors every year, said Liz Crosson, executive director of Los Angeles Waterkeeper. Advocates hoped the lawsuit would force the county and all of its municipalities to adopt stricter measures to prevent pesticides, trash, used motor oil and other chemicals from flowing into storm drains.
County officials agree storm water is polluting the rivers but disagree on who is responsible. Its one monitoring station along the Los Angeles River is in Long Beach, near where it empties into the ocean.
"Yes, there are pollutants in the water, but dozens of municipalities are upstream from there. It's a collective runoff. It doesn't point to a particular source," Gary Hildebrand, assistant deputy director of the L.A. County Flood Control District, said in an interview.
In court, the flood control district's lawyers have argued that because the Clean Water Act regulates only "discharges" of pollutants, the county is not responsible for discharges that come from the thousands of drains in the county's 84 cities.
The dispute, if nothing else, illustrates the difficulty of regulating storm water. The Clean Water Act of 1972 first targeted "point sources" of pollution, such as an industrial plant putting toxic chemicals into a creek, or a sewage plant that was leaking sewage into a river. Violators could be identified and forced to stop the pollution.
By contrast, a heavy storm sends water flowing from across a vast area, picking up pollutants along the way. There is no obvious point source.
The Supreme Court, however, has shown an interest in the issue this year. On Monday, the justices will hear two cases involving runoff from logging roads in the Pacific Northwest.
The next day, they will hear the case of L.A. County Flood Control District vs. NRDC to decide on municipal storm runoff.
Two years ago, a federal judge in Los Angeles rejected the environmentalists' suit because they could not point to the source of the polluted runoff. Last year, however, the 9th Circuit held the county liable and reasoned that the storm water flowing by the monitoring station was discharging pollution into the ocean. The
Supreme Court then voted to hear the county's appeal.
Sean Hecht, an environmental law expert at UCLA, said the county's stand raises questions about the permit scheme. "From the plaintiff's perspective, it is very frustrating. If [the county is] not responsible, who is?" he asked.
Experts on both sides agree they have seen progress over the past two decades in limiting pollution from storm runoff, but more needs to be done. "This is a very complex problem," Hildebrand said. "There is a lot more to do, and we need to do it municipality by municipality, across the watershed."

Very cool, and ingenious. I will be following this thread as I like to see creativity like this. Will you use ar15 9mm mags or some other?
Also off the top of your head do you think this would be possible with .45 ACP?
I've been taling about building a 9mm direct impingement upper since this past april and have been gathering parts since early summer. Over the past two weeks I've managed to make some progress on the build.
I started with: a 9mm blank; a $10 barrel extension from CDNN; a spare carrier and upper I've had for years; A set of used USGI bolts off of gunbroker; and a Caterpilliar diesel engine nut 13/16"-16tpi.
The barrel blank I started with was one of the .800" blanks that have been floating around for the past few years. This barrel is too thin to turn a shoulder into for the barrel extension to rest against. I decided to used a savage style locknut to solve this problem. An internet search turned up Catapilliar diesel engine grade 8 nuts for about $1.50 each so I got several.
After short chambering the barrel I threaded the last 1.150" of the barrel to 13/16"-16tpi so that the barrel extension was a little difficult to thread on. Then I screwed on the barrel extension so that the back end of it was 1/2" from the back end of the barrel and drilled the index pin hole to a depth of just past the bottem of the barrel threads. I also drilled a gas port about 1.5" in front of the barrel extension since it was already squared up. Then I screwed on the locknut as far as it'd go, and then screwed on the barrel extension with red locktite and secured it with the index pin made from 1/8" drill rod. After letting it set for a day I torqued down the lock nut and secured it with red locktite. Before the loctite set up I turned down the locknut to just under 1" with the barrel extension towards the tail stock so that any cutting force would be tightening the lock nut and not loosening it. Then I finished chambering the barrel after opening up the 556 bolt to .398" so the 9mm case would fit.
I then made a gas block for it out of steel and cut down a used rifle length gas tube to fit. The first few rounds of test fire showed that with a .090" gas port the bolt comes back enough to extract the case from the chamber and stop with the hammer half cocked so that the hammer catches the firing pin as it tries to go forward.
Thats where I'm at right now. The wonder 9 part of it is I wonder what it'll take to get it to run. More work and current photos to come!

I know that you are working with gas operation but if you did go to blowback how would you balance the recoil impulse, with heavier recoil spring or heavier bolt weight, or both?
Is there a formula for that or is it trial and error?

I know this might be a little personal but could you show us pics of your gas block?

If your using a standard AR-15-M-16 carrier?? you may want to lighten up the carrier a bit, the 9mm cartridge will only produce so much gas it may need more than it can produce with the 9mm powder burn.. You can ope up your gas port hole, and or move gas port location closer to the chamber.. location of the gas hole also will effect the cycling.. I think you can get it to work, but it's gonna be ammo sensitive... B2B
Wrench, if I end up going the blowback route (which I don't think I'll have to) I'll make my bolt the same weight as a colt or rra 9mm bolt and use a heavy 9mm buffer. I'll get some more pic's up later today of the gas block ect. I haven't profiled the gas block yet to fit under the handguard so it's pretty much like the block of steel above the barrel in the photos.
B2B, It's still a work in progress. The gas block I made is a set screw type for easy removal to open up the gas port and so that I can move it back as needed. The 1.5" location and .090" gas port were just best guesses and are subject to change as I debug the thing. I'm trying to get it to work with a standard carrier and buffer first, and If I can't I'll lighten those up as needed. Ammo sensitivity isn't an issue for me since I reload just about all the pistol ammo I shoot.
Edit: Here's a pic of the gas block so far. It really is a "block" at this point, but I'm going to mill away where the black sharpie marker is so that it'll fit under a set of standard handguards and to lighten it some.
Last edited by moleman; 12-26-2010 at 11:12 AM. Reason: add pic
230 grains times 830 FPS = 190,900 divided by 20FPS [a high end of reasonable bolt speed] = 9545 grains
Your bolt/buffer combo should be at least 9545 grains, which happens to be 1.36 lbs. I'd try and go heavier than that by a little, as it seems a bit light to me, but my calculations up there didn't take into account the force of cocking the hammer and what little force the recoil spring puts into it holding the bolt in battery.
Who said we'd never use this stuff ever again in math class?
Hey Moleman,
Could you put an adjustment screw on the gasblock to adjust the amount of gas allowed through the block? Kind of like a mixture screw on a carburetor. You would open up the gas port hole in the barrel and rely on the screw to throttle it back a bit. Then adjust it to your particular load of the day.
Do it before it is too late!
Proud member of the NRA,GOA and JPFO!!!
And now GOCRA in MN!!!!
Wrench, Yep I have thought about tapping the block for a modifed ss set screw to do just that. That is part of the reason the gas block hasn't been profiled yet. It's gonna be a lot easier to lay out the hole locations with everything flat and square. I did manage to tweek it a bit an now it is ejecting and cocking the hammer!!! Now I need to finish modifing the sten mag to work.

Skin & Nail Support
Our bodies are a stunning organization of various types of connective tissues. In the form of cartilage and bones, they uphold our bodies; in the form of joints, they allow our mobility; in the form of epidermal tissues - the skin - they form the bodys mass and protect us from and connect us to, our environment. As we age, many people experience calcium deficiencies and bone problems. Similarly, joint problems are among the most debilitating aspects of aging. Yet with the proper nutrients and lifestyle changes, the bones and joints can remain strong, flexible, and active well into old age. Likewise, healthy, beautiful skin is a matter of diet and nutrition: the skin should be nourished with fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins, and a nutritious diet gives the skin sufficient nutrients and antioxidants for protection.

Been using this product for many years for fire ants http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/talstar-pl-granules-p-47.html?gclid=CPjhheyEqpkCFQrFGgodN1NIpgTried cinnamon before, its very short term. One bag of Talstar pl will give me protection for about 3 months and it does not harm the bees....JP
Brendhan, I'll gladly trade you my acrobat ants for fire ants any day of the week!...JP
I am using a horticultural sticky glue that is conventionally used around the trunks of trees to stop insects invading the tree from the ground. I do get harmless ants but I also get gekkos and lizards coming onto the landing platform for a free feed so the sticky stuff stops them from advancing up the hive standI would imagine you would be able to get something similar in the US to what I get here
I use a rebar stand with the legs in cans of water. I have 5-6 different ant species attacking the hives until I did this. Next I am building a 2x4 stand with 6 inch sections of rebar sticking into and out of the 2x4 legs and then put in cans of water. No chems. around the hives. I have pics if you want them. Simple and easy build.
You must break the scent trail for ants. Sprinkle cinnamon around the hive.Sincerely,Brendhan

A Must-Have Polynesian Classic
Posted by HawaiianViking on Sep 11, 2012 | Verified Purchase
I've been using Mono'i my entire life. It's great as a general, all over moisturizer, as a shower oil, on sunburned skin, and I've known women who use it as a hot-oil hair conditioner (they say that it's the best). When using it on the face, I find that it can be comedogenic when used daily, so I suggest alternating it with a lighter moisturizer. Mono'i is a traditional Polynesian product, which is made by macerating the flowers of the Tiare (Gardenia taitensis) — a small, white, star-like flower and a native Polynesian member of the Gardenia family — in coconut oil that has been obtained by grating, drying, fermenting and pressing the meat of germinated coconuts. Listed among the ingredients is "parfum", which is slightly concerning to me, since I prefer all-natural products and I'd like to know exactly what kind of "parfum" is used. However, I have such a sentimental attachment to this product and it works so well I almost don't want the manufacturer to start tampering with what is deservedly called a classic.

This stuff if just wonderful. The scent is amazing but not too heavy. There's a flower at the bottom of the bottle so don't panic when you see something brown floating inside. You don't need too much so be careful when pouring. Makes your skin feel soft and makes me feel very relaxed.
Oh my!

This is the most luxurious stuff. Scent is unbelievably wonderful. I warm the bottle in hot water so the oil flows (as opposed to being solid). I will buy more. I feel like it's my birthday every day I use it. Do not hesitate to try it. Yum.

Moisturizes well, smells very nice, very floral. I find that the scent becomes less intense and more pleasant after it's on your skin for a little while, so don't be frightened when you first open the bottle!

I love this stuff! I have other coconut oil that doesn't get solid at room temp. so I know that those oils aren't as pure as this since you have to heat it up to make it liquefy. The smell is wonderful and exotic and it sinks in your skin very nice. It has helped keep my wintery dry skin smoother.

Hi fellas,
Great programs as always. I look forward to each one: TWIV, TWIM & TWIP. .....Lots of TWIT too. ;-)
Here is a list of top science apps forwarded by William Gunn on G+.
Mendeley and PLoS staff both voted on which apps could have the greatest impact on science.
Very techie and above my pay grade, thought you fellas would find this interesting.
Thanks for your fabulous podcasts.

Dear Gentlemen,
Your discussion on the experiments from the Fouchier lab (creating the "most dangerous virus in the world") reminded me what a joy it is to listen to a good, thorough conversation. While typing this Dr. Fouchier walks around some floors above me (i'm in the same institute but a different lab). I was thinking that it would be really nice if he could join TWIV for one episode and hear his arguments for his approach. Maybe after publication of his story (if at all). Let us see where the differences of opinions occur and try to understand each others point of view.
Who would decline such an invitation from Dr. Racaniello (the man who possess a refined art, that to hurt cruelly whoever does him evil)?
Many thanx for all you've offered in the past and for all that will come,
ps i did the listeners survey
pps just discovered that Dr. Condit does not have a beard (according to the drawing on the website). For some reason i always pictured him with a Hemingwayesque-beard.

I am a german science journalist who did listen to your nice blog on the Fouchier Story. I have to say that I liked you discussion a lot although I do not agree on every angel of it.
I did reporting on the story, unfortunatly in German only (http://m.faz.net/aktuell/wissen/medizin/mutmassliche-killerkeime-ein-virus-lernt-fliegen-11542644.html).
I was worried why this was published in Science without publishing or discussing the data, and I could not find many experts willing to discuss the marginal information we have. But I think the public must know about this because in my view, this virus is different from others viruses if it´s true that is probably as deadly and as highly transmissable. Do you know another one on this list?
Although I did appreciate your discussion and the critic of the comments by Enserink and Fouchier, I am wondering whether you send you critical comments to both of them to learn why they did say what they said or wrote. Just looking at the press sensationalizing this story misses the point, namely that the researchers and science reported it first. So the scientific community should deal with the way it communicates and not just blame the press to do it if communication channels fail. That´s one point.
I am also puzzled why you argue that this research should be published if and only if "containment for the scientific community" is guaranteed.
Are you saying that even if the mutation are in the public domain nobody could make such a virus and use it as a biological weapon?
Or are you saying that you don´t believe that this virus will be dangerous in real life?
Or are you saying that the model they did use, ferret, is not predictive what will happen in humans?
So actually I quite don´t understand what you main argument is on why publishing this recipe to build a deadly and transmissible bird flu virus is of no other concern that biosafety?
I not a fan of the bioweapon community, but in this case, I would like to see scientific discussion about what the model is and what it is not.
In trying to get in contact to many scientist I could find only one who had seen the data in Malta. He was in favor of publishing the work because of preventive measure against H5N1 but he was against publishing the five mutations due to Dual-Use. So he was concerned and he was an eminent flu virologist!
So I am really interested why you come to a totally different conclusion without having seen the data?
Hope you can send me some clues..
I wanted to make shure that you understand that for a science journalist this is not about creating panic, but reporting a real concern and discuss the deep questions whether or not some experiment should be done - in the public domain - or not.
This experiment was not stupid, but the knowledge gained may be used by scientist with not so good intentions. So I would argue, there is room and need for honest debate, where society has a say too, it not just internal to the scientific endeavour, therefore journalism kicked in.
The big question is, why did science publish this report without reporting about the science behind it. What is the real agenda here? What are the motive of Fouchier and Osterhaus and Kawaoka?
Thank you for listening to my thoughts. I am member of the German association of Science journalist and we are taking quality issues serious.
So I would love to hear your second thoughts.

Why partner with Russia?
Last month I attended the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) in Russia, along with our CEO John Chambers. Together we participated in the Skolkovo Foundation Council Meeting (held quarterly) where we discussed strategies for increased momentum for Skolkovo. During the forum, John reiterated Cisco's long-term approach to the country and highlighted the growth and potential of Russia within the context of tough economic times elsewhere in the world – a tremendous opportunity both for Cisco and for Russia.
Two years ago we made a commitment to support the Russian Government's modernization agenda. Since then we have achieved visible progress in promoting a close partnership with the Russian Government by:
- Aligning our activities in Russia with the country's government course
- Supporting Russia's intention to modernize its economy and infrastructure, building upon the legacy of innovation that is a part of Cisco's DNA
- Offering technology and knowledge to help Russia achieve its national goals
- Putting our positive stance on public-private partnerships and collaboration into action
A global company like Cisco is involved in public-private partnerships in innovating and renewing communities in many countries of the world. In Paredes, Portugal, Cisco is collaborating with Living PlanIT to develop PlanIT Valley, a sustainable community built on technology that transforms the area into a connected community running on next generation technology. Another example is Cisco's work with McCaffery Interests in redeveloping the Chicago waterfront to revitalize the area.
I often get asked though, why partner with Russia? I wanted to share some of our thinking with you.
At Cisco, we view Skolkovo as a platform for future growth and innovation of new and emerging technologies. Russia is home to world-class talent in basic and applied sciences, offers a great education system that creates a workforce that has the ability to think differently, and a tenacious and persistent work ethic. These qualities in addition to Russia's rich history and tradition of discoveries in science and research that has extended for centuries, makes it a perfect choice for Cisco's innovation incubation efforts.
Cisco is invested in the success of Skolkovo. Earlier this year we outlined our Research and Development plans with the Skolkovo Foundation and are already executing on them. We are now beginning to hire our first engineering team in Russia focused on developing new emerging technologies.
Our plans at Skolkovo don't stop at software development. As a key partner of the Foundation, we are actively involved in many important areas. For innovation to thrive, the right creative environment is required for the free flow of ideas and capital. Later this year, Cisco will support startups with funding through the launch of our second Skolkovo Innovation Award, focused on discovering and rewarding new promising startups in the areas of Healthcare and Education. We will provide technology and tools to all participants and reward the best startups with seed funding. The support for entrepreneurs through venture capital funding is in line with Cisco's strategy to nurture innovation from talented people all over the world, as our work with the Almaz/Cisco Venture Capital Fund shows. To date, the Almaz/Cisco Fund has invested in 12 companies, of which 2 have residency in Skolkovo, and another 3 are in the process of applying for residency.
In the area of education, we will launch Cisco's Entrepreneur Institute at Skolkovo Technopark, which will train Skolkovo Residents on how to develop and grow successful IT businesses. Beyond Skolkovo, we plan to partner with Russian educational institutions on joint technology development and research projects for emerging technologies. This will allow graduate students and researchers to co-develop technologies with Cisco engineers and validate their research against the needs of the marketplace. This extends our education investment in Cisco. Another example is our Networking Academy program in Russia, which was refined a year ago when Cisco announced its intention to triple the number of academies in this country, from 217 to 650, enabling 16,000 Russians to be trained each year by 2015. We are well on our way to meeting this goal.
In closing, we believe there is tremendous opportunity in Russia and we applaud the country for investing in its future and its people by spurring innovation, job creation and economic growth.Tags:

It is great initiative that will not make just make Cisco become more relevant to Russia & CIS markets but will also help develop talents to contributes towards growth ofRussian IT sector and over all economy . Great to see Cisco making in country investments at such level in Russia.

City Wants to Outlaw Coca Cola, Sodas
The hometown of Harvard University has declared a war on carbonation.
The mayor of Cambridge, Mass. introduced a policy resolution that would ban soft drinks and sugar-sweetened beverages in restaurants.
The ban is similar to one that was recently proposed by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. That policy would ban any bottled soft drinks more than 16 ounces. The city is also considering limitations on popcorn and milkshakes.
However, the actual resolution calls for a complete ban on soft drinks.
"Whereas New York City has a plan to limit the serving size of soda and other sugar-sweetened beverages sold in restaurants; now therefore bit it ordered that the City Manager be and hereby is requested to refer the matter of a ban on soda and sugar sweetened beverages in restaurants to the Cambridge Public Health Department for a recommendation," the resolution read.
"In addition to being an obesity threat, soda is one of the contributing factors to an increasing rate of diabetes and heart disease amongst younger people," Mayor Henrietta Davis told the Boston Globe. "
And just like the New York City proposal, the Cambridge proposal is fizzing out with residents.
"Here we go again," said Talk 1200 host Jeff Katz. "A few weeks ago it was Michael Bloomberg who wanted to be my mommy. Now, it's Henrietta Davis."
Katz, who hosts a morning drive radio program on Boston's Fox News Radio affiliate, said his phones have been ringing non-stop with critics of the proposed soda ban.
"This is not a size restriction," Katz said. "They're talking about an all-out ban. It's Big Mommy Government."
Those opposed to ban said it's not surprising in a city nicknamed the "People's Republic of Cambridge" and served by the transit system's "red line."
"Only in Mass-ghanistan could driving a Coke across town lines constitute smuggling," said one of Katz's listeners. "Such is the mind of a liberal politician."
Another listener wondered, "So zero soda, but I could order an entire pizza? It's pathetic."
But some city leaders agree with the mayor.
"It's a very good thing to try and pursue," City Councilor Minka vanBeuzekom told the Boston Globe, predicting the ban may be difficult to pass.

what if a mando'ade from the age of lets say canderous, or even further back the age of the sith war were to be woken up from cyros into our time. What would he say about mando proctors walking in parades with wookees , jetii and dar jetii? also what one say about the fact that our own country condemns actions that would get a mando kote. ( events in iraq that have been less than favorable to our military or the way the government is handling the situation all together )
what would happen if lets say the old guard met an over weight guy wearing mando proctor armor at a con?

I love the appearance, but it does add a lot of additional weight when carried in a holster.
Which do you prefer?
Ex. Ruger GP100 vs. Ruger Security Six / Police Six
Ex. S&W Model 686 vs. S&W Model 19, etc.
I love the appearance, but it does add a lot of additional weight when carried in a holster.
Which do you prefer?
Ex. Ruger GP100 vs. Ruger Security Six / Police Six
Ex. S&W Model 686 vs. S&W Model 19, etc.
i have the S&W 586 4in with the full lug.... heavier to carry than my S&W 68-2 6in with the half lug.... but with hot .357 mag loads, its still a pussy cat to shoot.... i dont mind carrying a heavier gun, i am a big guy anyway.
I understand that the extra weight will help tame the recoil of magnum loads, but most people don't shoot full magnum loads in practice very often. I also understand that a lighter CCW is desirable for most. I always like the appearance of the full underlug, but magnums with 4"+ barrels start to get heavy. I once had a 6" GP100. I now have a 4" Police Service Six, and it's much lighter. I also believe that the Service Six and Security Six look just like scaled down versions of the Redhawk, which I once owned, and now dearly miss.
My .357 Magnum is identical to the one pictured here, except that mine is Blued, not Stainless.
The longer barrel will have a longer sight radius, enhancing accuracy.
The longer barrel will yield better ballistics (higher velocity).
The longer barrel will reduce muzzle rise.
The longer barrel will make it slower to clear the holster.
The longer barrel will make it harder to conceal.
The longer barrel will make a heavier weapon; a plus or a minus depending on whether you want to carry concealed or not. If not, the heavier weapon reduces felt recoil.
Full under lug. Never liked the look of guns with that skinny little barrel sticking out. Always makes me think I'm watching some 70's detective show or something. Other than ascetics I like the heavier barrel to tame some of the recoil.
The underlug also protects the extractor rod from damage.
I have, use, and carry several styles, full under lug, no lug, half lug. In the 3 or 4 inch barrel length I favor for belt carry I do not really feel a big difference. Good belt and holster I don't really notice the weight difference from one pistol to another pistol.
Yes, but a partial underlug does this, with less weight than a full underlug. I guess with a 2" to 3" Snub, it either has one, or it doesn't. However, with a 4" revolver, such as the one pictured via the link I posted above, a partial underlug only comes about halfway down the length of the barrel, and even less so with a 6" Revolver. I am always in favor of protecting the extractor rod.Quote:
The underlug also protects the extractor rod from damage.
I prefer a full underlug barrel based upon balance and aesthetics.
If weight is such a big deciding factor than consider carrying a lightweight framed revolver or a polymer pistol.
I have 2 .357's. S&W 686 and a Taurus 669. Both have full under lugs. I don't carry a revolver, I carry autos. I prefer heavy guns whether I am carrying or just shooting for fun.
I have never been a fan of the under lug.
I have a Rossi 357 mag in stainless and love it
Don't mean to be rude here but I have some pretty strong feelings regarding the issue of weight in handguns. I don't own any revolver that doesn't have a full underlug. I like the weight. I don't have any revolvers with barrels shorter than 6in. I don't own any plastic handguns. If you want to shoot with accuracy longer barrels and the extra weight is an advantage, for all of the reasons noted by others in this thread. I have never understood why anyone would buy a 2"-4" barreled revolver. If you want something to carry concealed for personal protection buy a 4"-5" in. steel framed semi-auto. I have a S&W Mod 629 w/ 8-3/8" barrel that I carry all over in the woods and out shooting and the weight is not an issue. I think light weight has it's place in certain handgun competitions but overall I believe a heavier gun is an advantage if you are shooting to hit something accurately. I know many people who own semi-auto Glocks and light weight revolvers and most of them couldn't hit the side of a barn if they were limited to one or two shots, especially if they were full of adrenalin during an attack. They just want to start pulling the trigger until the weapon is empty and pray they hit something. Incidently, my wife is not a big gal and not a gun nut like me but she said she likes the heavier handguns better than light ones .......... says she can hold them steadier while firing. Got a little off the track here so apologize. If you like light handguns or weight is a big issue then buy the light guns. Sorry if I stepped on toes here.
I like the full underlug on my 629 Classic - 6.5".

Shoppers have their say online, in the street
By PAUL FEELY
New Hampshire Union Leader | August 12. 2013 12:35PM
|"I'm not surprised at all," said Corriveau. "Market Basket's got it figured out. When it opened down on Elm Street ... even the items that Hannaford's no longer carries, Market Basket has them. The selection they have, the quality of the items ... they just can't keep up with them. I've been shopping with them for years."
At the same time, Market Basket has been expanding in the Granite State, where it now operates 30 stores.
"Since Market Basket showed up, two major competitors are closing their local stores," said David Hebert of Manchester. "Stop & Shop and Shaw's, they killed us in this area for years with their overpricing. I feel bad for the employees, but not for the companies themselves. You got what you deserved. We save an incredible $60 a week at Market Basket."
Results of a poll last week at Unionleader.com show a majority of respondents agree with Hebert. The survey received 521 responses from Wednesday to Saturday, with not all respondents answering all of the questions.
Asked where they did most of their shopping, 58.4 percent, or 225 people, said Market Basket; 27.3 percent, 105 respondents, said Hannaford; 5.5 percent said they shop most often at Shaw's (21 of the total) and 4.9 percent, or 19 people, said Stop & Shop. The question was not answered by 136 respondents.
In response to the question, "Which grocery alternative offers the lowest routine pricing?" 367 participants, or 70.8 percent, said Market Basket. Hannaford was second, at 15.8 percent (82 votes), with Walmart a distant third at 7.9 percent (41 votes). Stop & Shop and Shaw's placed fourth and fifth, at 2,3 and 1.5 percent, respectively.
Market Basket was also the top response to the questions, "Which grocery alternative offers you the most convenient location?" "Which grocery alternative provides the best sales and promotions?" and "Which grocery alternative provides the most comprehensive selection for one-stop shopping?" Hannaford finished second on all three questions.
Several customers quizzed last week outside the Stop & Shop store on South Willow Street said what they'll miss most about the store isn't the food, it's the fuel. Stop & Shop offers a rewards program through which participating customers can save 10 cents per gallon of gas for every 100 points they earn. One point is earned for every dollar spent with a Stop & Shop card.
We asked some for their favorite places to shop. Here are their answers:
|"At Demoulas (Market Basket), for cost. I would go to Hannaford as well for convenience and location from here," said Kristen Lieber of Kittery, Maine, who works in Portsmouth. "Trader Joe's sometimes, too, for the diversity of the products."
|- - - - - -
|"We go to the Market Basket. Probably the first reason is location and the second reason is they are one of the cheaper grocery stores in the area," Ken Coleman of Merrimack said. "We have noticed since the economy got a little tough how busy that Market Basket has gotten." He added that many friends from North Merrimack travel to the southern part of the city, past other grocery stores, to get to the Market Basket near his home because of the low prices.
|- - - - - -
|"Market Basket, all the way," Andy Morgan of Portsmouth of said. Not only was he a former employee, but he said the prices are low and fair. "Pretty much the reason I go is the prices."
|- - - - - -
|Rylie Harrod, 23, of Tempe, Ariz., said her parents reside in Somersworth and most often shop at the Hannaford grocery store in Dover. "It's convenient. It's closest to our house," Harrod said. When in Arizona, Harrod said she does most of her grocery shopping at Target. "It is the closest thing and relatively cheap, but not the biggest fresh produce selection."
|- - - - - -
|Matt Waitkins of Peterborough: "I generally shop at Roy's Market or Nature's Green Grocer -- and farmers' markets this time of the year -- and the reason's because they are local. I cannot send my money to a distant profit center," he said.
|- - - - - -
|Steven Taitague of Jaffrey: "I shop at Market Basket. ... I don't comparison shop. .. It's cause I don't drive and the people that drive me shop there. But also of people shop there because of the prices," he said.
|- - - - - -
|Bill Gauthier of Plymouth said he is a regular shopper of the Hannaford's store in his town. He shops there because it is local and the prices aren't bad, he said. But, Gauthier said once in awhile his wife will make a trip to the Market Basket store in Tilton because the prices are better, he said. He is looking forward to the day when Market Basket opens a store in Plymouth. Market Basket is currently in the permitting process for a store the company plans to build in Plymouth. "We like the Hannford's, but it will be great when we have a Market Basket," he said. "Right now we'll make the trip to Tilton on a weekend sometimes. It costs us $20 in gas, but the prices are really good."
|- - - - - -
|Wendy Getchell-Lacey of Gilford said she and her family used to shop at Shaw's store in Milford before they moved to Gilford a few years ago. Now they shop at the Shaw's store in Gilford. Neither the Milford or Gilford Shaw's stores are being closed. "Thank god," she said. "I have been shopping at Shaw's for years, it would be terrible if they closed (the Gilford store)." Getchell-Lacey said Shaw's has better meats and produce, and the specials at the stores make prices cheaper. "I wouldn't shop anywhere else," she said.
|- - - - - -
|Wanda Kennerson of Meredith says she travels south to the Shaw's store in Gilford rather than shopping at her town's only supermarket, a Hannaford's store. "The prices are better at Shaw's," she said. "You get more bargains there, I just like it better there. I'm glad they didn't close it."
|- - - - - -
|Bill Sheldon of Jaffrey "Basically my wife does all the shopping and she basically likes Demoula's. That's where she started shopping and it seems to be cheaper," he said.
|- - - - - -
Customers approached by a reporter last week as they left the Shaw's and Stop & Shop locations on South Willow Street said they don't expect the closures to affect their shopping habits too much, given the other options available to them in the region.
"I'm not really loyal to whatever name is on the building," said Judy Echtman of Wakefield. "Wherever I see the lowest numbers ring up at the register, that's where I'll go back to again. I'm looking for deals."
"It's like anything else. You've got to be a good shopper and look for sales," said Paul LeClerc of Manchester.
"I love Shaw's, I do most of my shopping here, but I will go to Hannaford for the things that are cheaper there," said Susan Roman of Alton. "It is convenient that both stores are across from each other."
"I shop mostly at Hannaford because it's down the road for me, but if we need to do a major shopping trip, we often go to Market Basket because it's cheaper," said Lori Ingham of Franklin. "The Tilton Walmart is turning into a Super Walmart, so we will have to see if our shopping habits change after the construction is done."
"I firmly believe that if the economy were as good today as it was five years ago, we wouldn't be having this discussion," said Chris Van Veen of Brookline. "Trickle-up poverty is playing into the hands of Walmart and Market Basket at the expense of the others."
Some employees expressed anger over the decision to shutter their workplaces.
"It took us all by surprise," said Wendy, an employee at the Stop & Shop on South Willow Street in Manchester, who asked that her last name not be used. "The employees found out the same time the public found out, basically. I've been working here about 10½ years. I just came from Market Basket, but they're not hiring."
Randall T. Sundeen, 45, of Manchester has worked at the South Willow Street location the past four years.
|"I'm partially disabled, and I had a terrible time getting a job," said Sundeen. "This company took me in, I gave them four years of my life, and I regard the people here as family. What makes me mad is we have real poor planning in the city. Now the city's going to have three empty supermarkets. They want to build a Walmart Supercenter on Gold Street. I'm all for making money, I'm all for making jobs, but we need defensible development. Businesses are dropping out on the city left and right."

• Sunday's game will mark the final home game for six members of the Canisius College program.
• Ian Buzzio, Gavin Falconer, Kareem Gray, Jared Ott, Regan Steele and Sam Zarka will all be appearing in their final game at the Demske Sports Complex.
• The six players have appeared in 287 games with 75 points, 26 goals, 23 assists and 154 saves during their careers at Canisius.
DeHOND MAKES EARLY SPLASH
• Sophomore Eric DeHond has taken the lead for Griffs' starting goalkeeper position and has not disappointed.
• Making his first two career starts last weekend against Marist and Siena, DeHond totaled 15 saves (on 18 shots on goal), earning his first victory at Canisius against the Red Foxes.
• In the win against the Red Foxes, DeHond totaled seven saves, including one on a penalty kick in the 79th minute to preserve the Canisius lead.
• DeHond is the first Griff goalkeeper to post a win in his first start since Matt Houghton accomplished the feat in a 1-0 victory against Maine on Aug. 31, 2003.
• The sophomore's 15 saves in his first two starts are also the most by a Griff since Adam Catley posted 21 against Connecticut and Robert Morris in 2007.
• In a series that dates back to the 1990 season, Iona holds a 15-6-3 advantage over the Griffs.
• The series has been much more competitive as of late, with Iona holding a slight 7-5-1 edge in the last 13 meetings.
• Last season, the Gaels used two different two-goal runs less than five minutes apart to earn a 4-1 victory in New Rochelle.
• Iona is currently 6-9-0 on the season and 4-1-0 in MAAC play.
• The Gaels scored a season-high six goal in their most recent contest, a 6-5 win against Rider.
• Iona is averaging 3.20 goals per game during conference play.
• Ansger Otto lead the Gaels with 16 points and six goals this season.
• Franklin Castellanos has posted a team-best five assists.
• Borja Barbero has played every minute in goal for Iona, posting a 2.06 goals against average and .659 save percentage.
• The Stags own an 18-2-4 edge in the all-time series against the Griffs.
• Canisius, however, has enjoyed some success at home recently against Fairfield. Since the 2002 season, the Griffs are 2-1-2 against the Stags at the Demske Sports Complex.
• The Griffs earned their second-ever victory against Fairfield in the team's last meeting in Buffalo during the 2010 season. Kareem Gray recorded eight saves for his first career shutout in the 1-0 victory.
• Last season, the Stags rallied past the Griffs for a 2-1 victory, scoring in the 88th minute to send the game into overtime and adding a goal in the 109th minute.
• The defending conference champions, Fairfield enters the weekend with a 6-7-1 overall record and 2-3-0 mark in the MAAC.
• Reco McLaren leads the Stags with 14 points and seven goals this season, while Jordan Ayris ranks second on the team with 10 points (4g, 2a).
• Michael O'Keeffe has played all but four minutes for the Stags in net, posting a 1.11 goals against average and .795 save percentage.

Hi Lucy,my name is Simon Kenworthy, I have managed to misplace my TEFl certificate. What should I do to get a new one? Is it possible it could be emailed to me or sent by post? I am heading to Asia very soon to look for work so would appreciate a quick response if at all possible.
I took my exam about two years ago In Phuket, Thailand. I believe it was February 2008.
Below I have listed the website of the TEFL org I trained with aswell as the contact (Mark) at the location.
He gave ma a link to use to get a new certificate but unfortunately it doesn't work.
Thank you in advance for your help in this matter.
Best regards,

Re: I'm Done
I'm disappointed, he didn't specifically name me as the problem... I'll keep trying.
Re: I'm Done
Not really sure what to make of the OP's original complaint.
To me, internet discussion groups, are the equivalent of sitting around talking to people somewhere, about things. Some of them you might know, and some of them you don't. And, there will be a lot of good advice thrown in with the bad. But, just like in person, peer pressure will help filter out a lot of the bad advice and often bad advice is relative anyway. Just because it's bad advice for one person and one situation, doesn't mean it is bad for every person and situation.
But, it can be funny. I go on another forum a lot, that has to do with center consoles. Someone was having troubles with their XXX trim tabs and there were several comments before one commenter, with a somewhat innocuous sign on name, said, "Call XXX at 123-456-7890 in the morning and ask for Richard" and your problem will be fixed to your satisfaction immediately."
Of course, then someone pipes back in, "Thanks for copying the telephone number of XXX. I'm sure he didn't think of that. What makes you think that will do any good?"
I laughed out loud at the answer. "Because I am Richard XXX, owner of XXX and I will fix his problem."
Sometime you know who you are talking to here (like when Bob Perry posts, which is amazing to me to actually see someone like that posting here) and sometimes you don't. But, that's what's so cool about the internet (if there is anything cool about it).
Re: I'm Done
What an embittered old ***** was the OP to waste 12 years of his life! And being so stupid as to complain about how the group didnt change but he did nothing to help it.
How selfish.
If SN isnt to your liking get off your bum and piss ofv, or work at making it better.

Re: I'm Done
I haven't been on board for long but I think SN has been useful . Because of it I've learned how to type (too busy sailing and making stuff before) Now I've got time to work on the bully, intimidation, and rudeness aspects so that I can more fully enjoy and participate .As in most large gaggles, lead, follow or stand aside and observe.
Re: I'm Done
All I know is that I aint loosing any sleep over it.

That's pretty much the time the last of the old guard was here and a new batch of experts rowed their way from some backeddy onto the scene. Since then the camber has slowly deteriorated as SN lost its way in the fog of egos.
I'm sure there's a number of theses primadonnas, nay self proclaimed experts with their endless years of experience that'll attempt a witty remark or retort at another rat bailing ship; but here let me help you. For anybody interested, just take a look at the member list. Only a few of the pre-2004 members are still around, many like me were/are waiting for a change. Most of the current hatch of crustaceans latched on here between 2006-2008. Since then many of them have logged over 10,000 posts in 4-5 years. I was taught that practice makes perfect. How can one possibly practice sailing techniques if they're always at the keyboard? Hmmm. One thing for sure, they've become adept navigating a keyboard. I really can't comprehend 10,000 posts as I've personally only logged including this, 512 in 12 years, but still hold a rep power of 13, the same as some with over 3900 posts, higher than many, but probably as undeserved as the rest.
The rating system is obviously nepotistic as the 20 -30 top rated members like to shower each other in bouquets and accolades while carefully controlling the tenor of threads and posts. For a forum that proclaims to be "the largest sailing forum in the world" with a listed membership of over 155,000, the balance of power is very lopsided while the majority remain voiceless; many silent for fear of reprisal from the bully squads. I too have participated in this past time over the years yet feel remorseful having been drawn into this negativity.
Frankly, I could care less for the pedantic, repetitious, redundant responses this post may elicit. While not the first nor the last to jump the SN ship, I have even less care, and even less time to stay where the tide ebbs and flows in a world where the members still believe the world is flat. I'm going sailing.
"Water, water, everywhere, And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, everywhere, Nor any drop to drink."
With the exception of PRWG, it appears that many/most posters take the time & effort to try to help those that have questions or problems with boating related issues. I am not even close to being an expert on anything, but do have some experience with a number of different kinds of boats, engines & mechanical things.
When asked, I share some of these experiences, hoping it will benefit those asking for input. Pretty simple, no attempt to bully, intimidate, or be rude to anyone. Still not sure what Sea Hunter was concerned about?

Re: I'm Done
I started from nothing, this forum has been the source of more information than I would expect to obtain from a BA.
Stoats and weasels are evil creatures. They kill and ear rats, LOL.
I don't interact well with people. This forum has and is helping. Sailors are by the most part real. Even if they are sometimes randy and blunt.
Thank you all for your information, and for preparing me to go to sea (I hope).
Re: I'm Done
I didn't take the time to go back & read all the posts. However, it appears some are not pleased? Reading & participating on these forums is voluntary. I enjoy all of them, how does one know what 2 stroke oil is best, or how to vote?

Hi all
Hows it going? Currently I am in China teaching in Deyang , one hour
north of Chengdu
I did a short course in new zealand before I came here of 5 days and
then some stuff online but I dont think it prepared me to well to
teach , my teaching is ok but could be a lot better. After I have
finished here I might do some further training.
who did other people train with and what did they think of the course?
I have heard english first is quite good, anyone trained with that?
Thanks for your help


text: I guess I was replying to you, but not just to you. Your position seems to be held by many Pistons fans, and to a certain degree, I can understand it. I'm just not sure that I agree. I think that we overpaid for Stuckey, but I really like him as a player. I believe that he'd be a great sixth man. With Daye sucking up the joint, Prince is our best SF option. My main concern is that this team won't quite suck enough, and we'll be drafting 7th or 8th again. This possibility doesn't bother me as much as it might in some years, since I don't see a John Wall, Derrick Rose, Kevin Durant type player at the top of this year's draft. If Joe hadn't signed those two guys, then we'd be heading towards the worst record in NBA history, and next year wouldn't be much better. I would ask anyone to look at next summer's free agent list, and tell me how we would definitely do better. Does anyone want to watch a full 82 game season where our primary goal is ping pong balls? Stuckey has been our second best player this year, and Tay has been either our 3rd or 4th. I believe that this team needs more good players, not less. Getting rid of Chuck G is my #1 cap issue. I would wait until the off season to access the performance of Gordon, Stuckey, and Prince. It's not outside the realm of possibility that Gordon could average 18-20 ppg over the last month of the season, and Stuckey cements himself as part of a very nice guard trio. If that's the case, then we draft a nice big, and keep looking for someone to push Prince for the starting job. I believe that next year is the year that we look to make a trade or two, and I for one, would like an asset or two in order to do it. You can debate whether or not Prince, Gordon, or Stuckey can be considered assets. However, you cannot debate the fact that without them, we have none.

Motion Sickness and summer plans
Motion sickness occurs when the inner ear, eyes, and other areas of the body that detect motion send mixed signals to the brain.
Your child may begin to feel queasy with the initial nausea being followed by a cold sweat, fatigue and loss of appetite. A younger non verbal child may simply become restless, pale, sweat and tearful. At some point these symptoms be followed by vomiting. By then you have figured it out, they have motion sickness!
The best treatment for motion sickness is prevention! If your child has previously experienced motion sickness the you should plan ahead for travelling.
If your child is over the age of two, place them in their car seat in the middle of the back seat, and have them forward facing. Rather than a big meal, provide a small nutritious snack prior to the trip and avoid dairy products.
Open the car windows and do not let your child play video games, watch movies or read while the car is in motion. Try to distract them by signing or talking. Sleeping may also be helpful, so at times you might plan your trip around naps and bedtime if possible.
Frequent stops for a child who is feeling sick are a necessity. Letting them lay flat for a few minutes while the car is stopped and even applying a cool rag may make them feel better. Try small sips of a carbonated beverage or a few crackers to help the nausea.
Expect the unexpected and be prepared. Bring along zip lock bags and hand wipes in case of an emergency. This will make everyone in the car a little happier.
I'm Dr. Sue with The Kid's Doctor helping parents take charge.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by mikhail1973, Jan 3, 2008.
Sam Smith's NBA mailbag on ChicagoSports.com
Ouch. That was a cold blooded analysis.
Cavs-Bulls deal at least piques interest on ChicagoSports.com
What would the Cavs do with Varjeo AND Ben? Too many energy guys with big hair for one team.
Looks like as long as they can ship Hughes out of there, they're ready to experiment.
Not sure I'd like to see that. Hinrich could really help the Cavs, taking pressure off LBJ to bring the ball up, and spotting up for loads of open threes. Question would be if he is that much of an upgrade over an up and coming Boobie. Ben at the 4 spot roaming all over the place while Z held down the middle could also be pretty interesting. On the other end, toss the ball to Z down low and if the double comes, drop it off to Ben for a dunk. And Ben would be POed enough at being traded to get seriously fired up.
They would be worse. Hinrich and Ben are horrible this year. Gooden is a pretty solid contributor for them right now. 13 pts/9rebs per game.
Bulls need a new GM. They would be a terrible deal for them. Great for Cleveland.
Bulls needed a new GM for a while.
i'm likin Sam Smith comments and answers to the Bulls woes much more than Chris mccoskys nonsense. Especially the comment about Kevin McHale working for two teams, Minnesota and Boston...classic. When Mchale gets fired, he will be working with Garnett and Ainge again...in Boston.
Watching the Blazers and Bulls tonight, Ben's defense has really fallen. Of course, he has no offense, whatsoever. Doug Collins just pointed out what a liability he is on offense because they don't even guard Ben. Joe D made a great move by not breaking the bank signing the guy.
I am watching this game also, and this is certainly not the Big Ben we witnessed in a Piston uni. I have come to the conclusion it`s because of the talent around him. Let`s face it, there is a serious drop off with the current Bulls roster and the Piston team Ben left. Asking Ben to be the same as a Bull might be impossible.
I was checking Rodman's offensive numbers to see how they compared to Big Ben's Rodman had an amazing offensive statistic In his 14 years in the league his points per 40 minutes fell from the preceding year 9 times out of 13 possibilites and rose only twice!!! In his rookie year he averaged 17.3 points per 40 minutes and in his last full season he averaged only 5.3 points per 40 minutes Dennis Rodman Statistics - Basketball-Reference.com
Whoa game tied, 40 sec left Roy to the bucket, blocked by Ben. Now, that`s the Ben I know....................!!!
Man, Roy is tough. It's no surprise they named that Rookie Of the Year award after him last season.
What a weapon Ben Gordon would be on a team that had a player that demanded a double team in the post...............Wow!
Ben keeps leaving Aldridge wide open. He should have learned his lesson 4 or 5 jump shots ago...
Damn entertaining game.....
Joe Smith with 30 points tonight. That surpasses the total that he scored in one full season with the Pistons....
double OT!!! Ben Gordon and Joe Smith Smith 30 points!! each... His career high was 38 in 1997, but I doubt that he has topped 30 since the new millenium
Separate names with a comma.

'While Briere probably felt all along he'd be gone, and the Sabres probably knew he would be as well, the loss of Drury is the bigger disappointment by far, as I see it. We hear the Sabres offered Drury a $30 million dollar deal over five years, which is certainly a fair offer. But the NHL isn't about being fair, and the Sabres are learning all about that.'

2012 Atlanta Braves
When: June 16, 2012

Who is interested in going to a Braves game this season. We can all decide on a date. We can sit anywhere to accomodate pricing. I get about 5 Free tickets a year, I have not received them yet. Last year we ended up throwing them away because I couldn't find people to go.
I figure like every year we can tailgate. Drink, eat and hang out before we actually enter the stadium. Im not paying $10 a beer or a hot dog. Thats why we TailGate
Hopefully we can make this a regular thing. Im a Braves fan but when I go to the actual game I just like to hang out and enjoy the experience.

I am currently doing a part-time CELTA and I am really enjoying the course and I love 'the high' I get off teaching!
I have a bit of a concern and it is to do with my teaching practice group. There are 4 of us in the group yet only one person has bothered to produce 'peer observation' feedback for me. The other 2 people have not bothered to fill them in, even though the other person and I have filled them out and handed them to these two. I am team leader so the situation is starting to make me very angry as I working full-time and having to chase this up but it is getting me nowhere.
Does anyone have any advice on what I should do? I am aware that we need the Peer Observation forms for our final assignment- 'Lesson from The Classroom', therefore it really is starting to make me very anxious.
Any advice you can give would be great.
