A feeling of quiet unease pervades many parts of Turkey as people attempt to sort out the situation. Late Friday evening, Chief of Staff, General Yasar Buyukant said neither the government has instructed the military to undertake a cross border operation into northern Iraq against separatist terrorist hideouts there, nor has the military requested permission to carry out such a mission. He said military leaders will meet with Prime Minister Recep Erdogan on November 5 in order to determine future operations. General Buyukant also noted the Turkish military was extremely disappointed in failure of the Iraq government to demonstrate a willingness to crack down on Kurdish rebels operating within Iraq.
Life goes on in Turkey with the minority Kurdish population uneasy regarding the situation. They are caught in a cross fire between an angry Turkish people anxious for revenge against the killing of their soldiers, and a sense of identify with a Kurdish desire for an independent nation. However, most Turkish Kurds regard themselves as members of the Turkish community and realize war will result in an outbreak of hate against them. In the meantime there is uneasiness but life proceeds at its normal pace.

Small semi-auto's are more difficult to shoot for people with little experience, and people with little experience will often find them hard to keep running. If your level of experience is low, then I would not recommend either one. What I would recommend, if this happens to be your situation, would be a small used revolver such as a Ruger SP101 or similar. Start off with .38's, and then move to .357 when you are ready.
If however you know how to handle and maintain a small semi, then I think they will both serve you reasonably well. I would be more partial to the KT as I have a P3AT that has performed very admirably. I also don't typically recommend Taurus semi's for defense use (though they make perfectly adequate range guns), but their revolvers would be worth looking into.
Another semi to look at is the CW9 from Kahr. It is a better pistol than the two you mention. I don't know what the price difference is, but you can easily find out. Other than the CW, the only small and readily-available semi's I would recommend would be a used Glock 26, Springfield XDc, S&W M&P9c.
Almost forgot to add: I have used a PF9 one time. It was ok overall. Reliability with fmj for the short range session was 100%, but that was only over 100 rounds. Accuracy was decent - not good enough to make me happy, but good enough for short-range defense use. Trigger was mediocre.

'While with the Sabres, he averaged just over 15 minutes of ice time per game. By the end of the season, he was often playing 20 minutes. The Sabres even adjusted their lineup to create a permanent spot for Roy by trading veteran center Curtis Brown. "They were saying, 'You can be our third-line center,'" said Roy, who scored 9-10 — 19 in 49 NHL games. "I was playing a lot and it gave me a lot of confidence."'

The Canisius College athletic department announced today that Darren Fenn '01 - men's basketball, Shauna (Geronzin) Green '02 - women's basketball, Kristy Grossman '02, MS '07 - women's lacrosse, Lynn Stoczynski '01 - softball, Brian Swatland '98, MS '02 - football and former baseball head coach Don Colpoys have been chosen as the Class of 2012 for the Canisius College Sports Hall of Fame.
The ceremonies for the 50th induction class of the Canisius Sports Hall of Fame will be held on Saturday, Jan. 19, 2013, when the men's basketball team hosts Siena in the Koessler Athletic Center. Game time is set for 2 p.m. The annual Hall of Fame Day will begin with a special "Induction Lunch" from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., in the Chester Hon '01 and Diane Stranzek Commons in Science Hall. The cost is $30 per person and includes a light buffet and beverages and a ticket to the game. Those interested in taking part in the "Induction Lunch" are asked to RSVP to the Canisius Office of Alumni Engagement by calling 1-800-201-4952 no later than Jan. 14, 2013.
To be eligible for the Canisius College Sports Hall of Fame, a former student-athlete must have completed his/her eligibility 10 years prior to induction, be a graduate of the College, been acclaimed as an undergraduate as one of the outstanding athletes in the history of the school and, since graduation, the student-athletes' life must have continued to reflect favorably on the College. Non-athletes may be inducted if they have made outstanding contributions to Canisius College athletics.
The Canisius Sports Hall of Fame, which began in 1963, now boasts 176 individual members and three teams with the addition of the 2012 class.
Darren Fenn '01 - One of only three players in school history to exceed 1,400 career points and grab over 800 career rebounds, Fenn was a four-year letterwinner for the Canisius men's basketball program and he becomes the 52nd former men's basketball player to be enshrined into the Canisius Sports Hall of Fame. Fenn was the team's captain in 2000-01 when the Golden Griffins last won 20 games and advanced to the MAAC Tournament Championship game. That season, he was named All-MAAC Second Team after he averaged 13.8 points and 8.0 rebounds per game. The Tonawanda, N.Y., native was an All-MAAC First-Team honoree after his junior campaign in 1999-00 when he averaged a double-double with 17.6 points and 10.5 rebounds per game, making him the last Griff to accomplish that feat. A member of the program's 1,000-point club, he ranks in the top-10 in four different offensive categories in the Canisius record book, and his 132 career blocked shots is seventh in program history. He was also honored three times as a MAAC All-Academic honoree for his work in the classroom.
Shauna (Geronzin) Green '02 - The women's basketball program's all-time leading scorer, Shauna (Geronzin) Green ranks sixth in MAAC history with her 2,012-career points. A four-time All-MAAC honoree, Green led the Golden Griffins in scoring and rebounding in all four years with the program, and she is the only player in Canisius women's basketball history to average better than 20 points per game in two different seasons. She still ranks second in career scoring average (18.8 points per game), second in career rebounds (910), which are the most for any player since the program moved to the Division I level, second in career free-throws made (446) and she ranks in the top-10 in program history with her 104 career 3-point field goals. A four-time All-MAAC selection and a three-time All-MAAC First-Team honoree, she was named the 1999 MAAC Rookie of the Year and she was also voted the 2002 Canisius Female Athlete of the Year. She is currently an assistant women's basketball coach at the University of Dayton.
Kristy Grossman '99, MS '04 - Grossman is the first Canisius women's lacrosse player to be inducted into the school's Sports Hall of Fame. A four-year letterwinner, she owns the school's all-time records in career caused turnovers (187) and career ground balls (215). A four-time All-MAAC choice, she was a three-time All-MAAC First-Team selection during her time in the Blue and Gold and she is one of two players in program history to receive all-conference honors in all four seasons as a Griff. She still ranks third all-time in NCAA history with her 187 career caused turnovers and her 4.13 caused turnovers per game ranks sixth all-time in the NCAA's history book. A defender and midfielder, she tallied 14 goals and 11 assists for 25 points in 52 games as a Griff.
Lynn Stoczynski '01 - A four-year starter for the Canisius softball program, Stoczynski played in and started all 184 games during her career for the Golden Griffins from 1998-01. A two-time All-MAAC choice, she was named to the MAAC All-Tournament Team three-straight years and helped the Griffs win the 2000 MAAC crown as she hit .303 with 10 doubles, 31 RBIs and nine stolen bases. She hit .317 for her career with 32 doubles, 14 home runs and 94 RBIs, and she is currently the school's career leader with 449 fielding assists. Her 32 career stolen bases ranks 13th in program history, and she was also recognized for her work in the classroom, as she was honored as a two-time CoSIDA Academic All-American, with those accolades coming after her junior and senior seasons.
Brian Swatland '98, MS '02 - A four-year letterwinner as a defensive tackle, Swatland played in 39 games on the gridiron for the Golden Griffins from 1994-97. He racked up 149 tackles (86 solo) and he collected 17 sacks and 40 tackles for a loss. He was a key member of the 1997 defense that ranked 23rd in the nation in total defense and he finished that season ranked second on the team with 14 tackles for a loss and 4.5 sacks, which helped him earn All-MAAC Second-Team honors. An All-MAAC First-Team choice in 1996, he had a career-high seven sacks to go with 51 tackles in nine games.Don Colpoys - The head coach of the Canisius baseball program for 25 years, Don Colpoys is the program's all-time leader in career wins with 325 victories. In 1994, Colpoys led the Golden Griffins to the program's first MAAC regular-season championship as the Blue and Gold went 17-1 in league play. The 1994 MAAC Coach of the Year, Colpoys was inducted into the Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame in 2011.

I used to watch animes that were available on TV when I was a child, and I enjoyed a few of them. Sailor Moon and Gundam Wing are my favorites.
These days, I feel like modern anime is all very similar. They all consist of recycled formulas, and the characters all look like trying-too-hard-to-look-cute 10-year-olds.
The art detail and technique has decreased, the songs are all generic, and everyone looks and acts like they're 10. Can anyone suggest animes that are more diverse, mature, and less dumb pls?
I like romance, magical girls, badassery, but not really a fan of super gory violence unless the storyline and art are really really good.

Discussion in 'Other Hoops Talk' started by LA Dre, Nov 17, 2013.
actually...i'd take a 2 seed over a 1....that 2 vs 18 matchup is followed by 2 vs 7/10 battle... thats better than 1 vs 16 followed by 8/9 winner..those 8/9 winners scare me
Be nice.
ESPN had them projected #1 and playing the winner of a play in game. I would rather see a #2 also just because they seem ripe for a loss and it will be on enemy soil, whomever they play.... but as mad man Alfred E. Newman said "what me worry'? That win over the Buckeyes today was the first time they had beaten them in the Big 10 tourney in seven tries...
Now, you've finally seen the light.
Tomorrow...I'll wear my green for St. Patrick's Day... Today...I'll wear Blue for the Wolverines.... Amazing...This is the 1st meeting of these 2 teams in the Big Ten Tourney.
"U STOOPID" is a culturally ethnic feminine term of affection that is used when someone of that persuasion finds something amusing in what the other person has said... My ex-Jamaican girlfriend joyously said that to me whenever i made her laugh.
I'm wearing my Michigan shirt and MSU shorts.......Yes, ...i know......
Michigan vs Michigan State. It's on! Will be quietly rooting for Duke every game they play until facing Michigan State at the big dance. My niece was just a couple months away from graduating. She was a devout Cameron Crazy. Duke Senior Rebecca Denardis Killed, Others Injured, in Florida | Duke Today
So sad. Sorry for your loss.
My condolences.
Sorry for the loss Detteam...
M blue is not a good comeback team...they are 7-6 when trailing at the half as well...MSgreen looking tougher too...
Unless they can get inside and get some easy hoops....it's over for wolverines...
Although Michigan won seven of their last eight, these last three games weren't the best and this lost to Sparty clearly pointed out there are some flaws in the interior defense and their own interior offense. The big 10 teams knew the Wolverines so they were able to exploit any weaknesses. They will get the two seed and should be able to still get to the elite 8. MSU however should get at least a 3 based on everyone being back and could get to the final four depending on what bracket they fall in. Arizona lost to UCLA by 3 last night in the PAC 12 championship but will probably still get a #1 seed. They only way M would have gotten the #1 seed would have been a win or possibly a one point loss to MSU. Good game by Sparty!!
Its all over the news down here in Carolina, and as i watched a felt some kind of connection...i guess it was ours, my friend....wow....my prayers to all the family.
Well, you flipped Wisconsin and Michigan. U STOOPID.

Source: Spurs acquire Jefferson for 3 players - ESPN
Salary Dump by Bucks I guess. But now the Spurs have another offensive option.
This is a good deal for both teams. The buck are far from a contender, and the $15 million dollars will open up a lot of cap space. However, you have got to convince players to play in Milwaukie. For the Spurs, this gives them a nice starting 4 of current or former All-Stars. They add another role player or two they are right back in the mix. Wish I could say that about us.
Darn it, just found out they now got money to resign Ramon Sessions...UGGH.
That ain't good since it means we have to dig our hopes on landing Sessions; plus, RIP (if he stays) is going to remain a non- factor now 4 instead of 2 times a season
Good move for the Spurs, but they are going to need another big man. Can you say McDyess?
I'm praying we get a steal of a deal like that this summer
or Sheed?
So the Spurs could concievably field of starting line-up of: Parker Ginobilli Jefferson Dyess or Frye at the MLE Duncan The Spurs are an instant contender for the WC Title.
I wonder why JoeD didn't offer a package of AJ, Kwame and JMax, they would have been just as good as those 3 the Spurs gave em. Hopefully he somehow manages a trade like that one too.
You often wonder when you see these kind of deals, if Joe has received any offers that were just to good to turn down. (like the Gasol deal two years ago.) or that GM's don't see anybody on our roster worthy of trading for so he doesn't get the decent offers???
Re Richard Jefferson Traded to Spurs Duncan, Parker, Manu, Mason, Jefferson, is not enough. I. Will bet the ranch the Spurs land someone else to make them a contender in the West.
Re: Re Richard Jefferson Traded to Spurs True. But healthy Manu and another big make it a different story.
Max's long term deal (through 2013) probably makes him untradeable - but I get your sentiment.
Re: Re Richard Jefferson Traded to Spurs Bingo! It's that other big that's missing. All he has to do is be able to rebound and defend.
Re: Re Richard Jefferson Traded to Spurs Need to take some pressure and minutes from Duncan, who's not a spring chicken anymore.
True dat. I always wonder where's the difference; why of all things the Spurs and not a team like the Hawks, Raptors or whoever pull of such a deal. Or, 2 years ago, the Lakers, also a team that was already a competitor.

text: no idea. suppose we'll find out within the week. either way, however, I don't much see the big deal. many companies already use steel slides on aluminum frames, the weight saving's of somehow combining aluminum and steel in the slide is probably going to be largely negligible, not to mention has the con of creating a more snappish recoil anyway. however, being new and "exciting" I'm sure it'll sell for a pretty penny, for a little while at least

Yeah, Snowolf...that's scary!
Frankly, the only way that I see 1st world people changing is if you hit them in the wallet.
It worked during the energy crisis of the 70's and I have no reason to believe that it won't work now.
And it will SUCK! (but it will work)
o.k. you proved your point, but getting personal on my on me is strange. You know nothing about me other than I like to snowboard. I work from my home and rarely drive anywhere - pretty much only for the occasional surf and snowboard sesh and to take my father to the doctor. I actually walk or ride my bike to get groceries and anything/everything else I can do that doesn't involve driving. My carbon footprint is undoubtedly smaller than yours, so chill.
Sorry, dude. I didn't mean "you" in the personal, individual sense. Please mentally change all the "you"'s in my diatribes to "one" as in "if one argues that, then"
No personal slight or attack intended.
I get a bit pissed when my country and primary industries like mining, forestry, oil production get blamed for all the environmental ills of the world. And I hate defending some of their practices because I think they should and could do a lot better. But I also think that they're a convenient bogeyman that lets us all avoid looking in the mirror. The real truth of the matter is that pollution is not driven by primary or secondary industries, it is driven by the consumer.
And now that the world's great population groups (India and China) are emerging as nations of consumers, the problem is rapidly compounding. We, as the original 1st world economies, would be hypocrites to suggest that they can't have what we have. And yet, we won't give anything up (like convenience or luxury)
The various environmental groups have targeted Alberta's Oil Sands in a media campaign for one reason: they might be able to win this battle. They won't go after King Coal, it's not sexy, it doesn't resonate with people, it's freakin' powerful and...gasp....it's American! All the coal industry would have to do is run a few ads showing hard working coal miners with the stars and stripes on their hard hats and maybe mention the "terrorists winning" and the media war would be over.
The contrived outrage over the oil sands is BS. Shut it down tomorrow and global carbon emissions won't change, OPEC will just pump more for the world to burn.
And yeah, I admit that I get my back up when Americans target Canada as an enemy of the environment while still operating coal plants that have a carbon footprint 600x the size of the entire oil sands combined.
o.k. you proved your point, but getting personal on my on me is strange. You know nothing about me other than I like to snowboard.

Simply using basic services we have developed and take for granted spawn from unsustainable processes. He's just trying to demystify the ideology many Americans have that if they shop at the CO-OP and ride their bicycle to work they magically become exempt from the over-consumption conversation. Not saying that those things don't make a difference or that you should just be apathetic, it's just important to realize you are likely buying into "green" propaganda.

Well clear cuts grow back, more often than not it is a better harvest method than selective harvest, it's a way for us to mimic a forest natural disturbances while still utilizing forest products.
There's a flip side to developments as well. While developments aren't exactly Ecofriendly, peple generally like to have trees in their yards. There are a lot of urban forests in places that didn't traditionally have trees.
You also have to look at the 100's of thousands of acers of tree plantations in places like north Dakota and Nebraska that never had trees pre human development.

Anyway, my objection is still valid. If there are more trees now than there were a hundred years ago, and if there are more clearcuts now, and if there are more developed areas, then the supposed additional trees have to also make up for the clearcuts and developed areas. So where are these new trees?
I suspect the answer is similar to the polar bear claim -- a cherry picked statistic designed to imply a conclusion that simply isn't true.
granted, I have no reference to that statistic...but it appears neither do you to yours...and I don't know how old your stats are.
25,000 ka of boreal forest to be destroyed? That's nothing. Canada has over 1 billion acres of boreal forest and that's only about 30% of the world's total.
25,000ka is the figure if the Oil Sands are expanded to maximum capacity and that can't happen for a long time even if it is economically viable. That's potential, not actual. By contrast, some estimates have over 50 million acres of rain forest being cleared annually right now, some 600 coal plants operate in the US right now, 52 coal mines producing 4 million tons of coal annually in the US are running right now.
The % of boreal forest that could affected by oil sands expansion is miniscule. The boreal forest extends around the world, part of it in Canada and the oil sands area is a small part of the Canadian Part.
If you want a target, then take a look in the mirror. You want to have an immediate effect? Close all coal fired generating stations in the US.
Not politically palatable to be sure. I wouldn't want to be the one to tell all those coal miners that they're out of a job. But to bitch about the potential future effects of the oil sands when there's immediate things you could do but won't is hypocritical. In terms of CO2 emissions (2008 UN numbers), China produces 23.53%, USA 18.27%, the EU 13.98% and Canada a mere 1.82%. It's pretty obvious that the problem lies south of the 49th parallel, not north.

Oh for Christs sake. So where are all the people living now that weren't here 100 years ago? In the desert? In the bottom of the rivers? C.B., I'm old enough to remember the lower mainland in the 60's and there's NO FUCKING WAY there's more trees here now. I have pictures in my photo album of the north shore with almost no houses on it (now it's houses almost all the way up).
Ever heard of clearcuts? BC in particular is lousy with them. The natives in the Amazon are being forced out of their traditional lands by deforestation. There are satellite pix showing before and after, and there are a lot less trees than before. So where are all these magical new trees going in? The desert, again?
Sometimes the bullshit that comes out of the republitard grist mill just drives me goofy.
And with this post, I realize I'm going to have to move this thread. Sorry, OP. You've been threadjacked.
Clear cuts are often the best way to harvest trees because they mimick catastrophic fires. That's basically the only way we harest trees in the lake states (the primary exception being when the water table comes into play)
I'm actually a forestry student at a very liberal college, and anything but a "republitard" nothing I ever said was politically motivated. I was simply providing some information about things that I study every day that is mostly missunderstood by the general public.
If anything we should be utilizing our forest as a sustainable resource, and that's my point.

Supply and demand
The hypocrisy of suburban soccer moms pointing the finger at "Big Oil" while driving around in a V8 SUV that could house a small family.
Golfers in Arizona buying an acre of Amazonian Rain Forest so they can feel better about spending millions on building a fake course in the desert.
Consumers who buy every new electronic gadget that comes out bitching about open-pit cooper mining.
Home owners who think that installing a few compact florescent lights somehow makes them an "environmentalist" All the while keeping their house heated or a/c'd to 70F all year round. And who wouldn't even consider taking the bus to work.
Snowboarders who bitch about the lack of snow due to climate change, but still drive their SUV's to hill, want more lifts, more skiable acreage, fewer crowds and cheaper lift tickets

And the problem with evidence like that physorg article I posted is that it's too abstract and theoretical. Most people want something you can drop on their toes like a brick before they'll accept something they don't want to accept. And even then, they're liable to say "I didn't feel anything" with tears running down their faces.
Shall we take this over into the religion section? ROTFL! Off to Sunday night mass I go. I will pray for Colorado snow as promised.

The Greenland melt
Eric Steig
Last July (2012), I heard from a colleagues working at the edge of the Greenland ice sheet, and from another colleague working up at the Summit. Both were independently writing to report the exceptional conditions they were witnessing. The first was that the bridge over the Watson river by the town of Kangerlussuaq, on the west coast of Greenland, was being breached by the high volumes of meltwater coming down from the ice sheet. The second was that there was a new melt layer forming at the highest point of the ice sheet, where it very rarely melts.

I've been remiss in not writing about these observations until now. I'm prompted to do so by the publication in Nature today (January 23, 2013) of another new finding about Greenland melt. This paper isn't about the modern climate, but about the climate of the last interglacial period. It has relevance to the modern situation though, a point to which I'll return at the end of this post.
The new paper in Nature, Eemian interglacial reconstructed from a Greenland folded ice core (NEEM Community Members, (2013)) is the culmination of many years of work in Greenland led by Dorethe Dahl-Jensen and her team from the Centre for Ice and Climate at the Niels Bohr institute in Copenhagen, with substantial involvement of scientists from around Europe, the U.S., China, Japan, and Canada.*
The big news is that this group has managed to obtain and use the information in ice from the Eemian — the peak of the last interglacial period, about 125,000 years ago — in Greenland. Getting usable Eemian ice from Greenland has been a Holy Grail of ice core research for the better part of two decades. We thought, back in the early 1990s, that we had obtained Eemian ice in the GISP2 and GRIP ice cores drilled near the ice sheet summit. It turned out that the lowermost part — anything older than 100,000 years — was messed up by ice flow, making it impossible to learn anything much about climate from it. The Danish group then led a project further to the north at "North GRIP" that, based on radar-echo-sounding data, should have had an intact Eemian period. But the temperature at the base at NGRIP was higher than expected, and the Eemian ice had melted away.
The latest attempt was the "North Eemian" (NEEM) site in northeast Greenland. Here too, the initial results were disappointing. As at GISP2 and GRIP, there are folds in the ice, and some of the layers containing the ice of Eemian age are repeated several times. However, in this case the folds are very large, and there are continuous sections that are not scrambled; they are just a bit out of order. It took significant work, but the group has unfolded the data from the folded layers and it is now evident that the goal of the NEEM project– having an interpretable section of Eemian ice — has succeeded after all.
The findings are spectacular. In the Eemian ice, there is clear evidence of significant melting of what would then have been snow at the surface. The amount of air trapped in the ice undergoes rapid fluctuations, resulting from the fact that ice that melts and then refreezes generally winds up with fewer air bubbles in it than the original porous snow. There are also strong fluctuations observed in soluble gases such as N2O whereas variations in the oxygen isotope concentration — both in the molecular oxygen (O2) in the air and in the ice (H2O) itself — are small. The isotope concentration of the O2 can be matched to that in undisturbed ice from the same time period in ice cores from Antarctica, providing a way to date the ice, showing unambiguously that non-disturbed layers are preserved from the peak of the Eemian period, about 125,000 years ago.

American farmers are making money by converting corn and wheat fields as part of the effort to reduce the impact of oil on the economy. In so doing, their actions are part of a world-wide inflation in food costs which make it difficult for poor people to afford food. In Bangladesh, which is ruled by a millitary government, its head urged people to reduce their demand for rice and turn to other foods such as potatoes. According to General Moeen Ahmed, "eating potato with rice will reduce its demand alongside fulfilling nutrition requirements." He admitted local weather conditons such as cyclones and floods had impacted the rice crop. He governs a nation in which forty percent of the people live on a dolalr a day. Banglaldesh and other Asian nations have been hit by record costs for imported oil and food.
Wealthier nations can afford to encourage ethanol production even while it impacts the total crop of food being produced. The poor nations of the world have no such options and they must switch diet in order to survive. The world can readily insist that poor people switch their foods but there is less interest in switching from gas guzzling large cars to small ones.

Re: Securing dinghy on davits
Good it is that secure.
The removable davits I have seen in the past slid into a "shoe" which was a plate mounted on the deck or sugar scoop transom. It looked like a suspect installation.
It has made me skeptical about the long term strength of the connection under any stress. You are confident yours are secure and the stress is spread out enough.
Let us know how this works out in the long run. I noticed you are in Long Beach area where the wind really blows and mostly off shore sailing. Great place to sail. We chartered a boa there last year and visited Catalina and Channel islands. Also got to sail on Stars and Stripes in San Diego

Re: Securing dinghy on davits
Not sure what you mean. The davits each sit in a bracket mounted lower on the transum, as low as I could go. But this design depends on tje rear rail. They are mounted outboard as far as practical and the pushpit is very strong there. When ratcheted in the weight is largely transfered to the center stantion because it pulls in on the davit arms. I plan to watch this point very carefully for any movement. If needed I can add some support brackets to beef up the pushpit.
Re: Securing dinghy on davits
Gene I saw the braces on your rear rails. My concern was the forces seem to be in three pinpoint place ( 2 on the rear rails and one where the davit goes in the removable shoe) as opposed to being spread out low or wide with a backing plate buried behind your stern somewhere. This would even be more accentuated oif it swings even a small amount so its good you are racheting these down. So where are the pressure points of the ratchets...the rear rails again? What point takes the load?
|Gene T
Re: Securing dinghy on davits
Dave, you have some good concerns.
The topping lift on my boat is just a spare main halyard. Never have needed it as a topping lift. In this use it just takes a little load off the backstay and is less than 3 feet off center. Negligible really.
No cross piece - No trapezoidal load either. There are braces mounted outboard and back to the rail, but I'm thinking of moving them inboard, but that will mean I will not be able to pull in the bow of the dink as far. There is no swing as they are lashed in tight to the pushpit. It is important to remember these are light duty davits. I would not use them for a long passage, I also have the option to remove the outboard and hang the dink the other way if I want. But the dink will go on deck for long passages.
Bridal is line - but stretch over such a short length is irrelevant. I have shortened them about 2 inches from what you see in the pictures. I would like to raise the engine end a bit as it was touching the water coming home with a large following sea and some 20kt winds.
I will still make some improvements but impressed with how well they worked and how solid the dinghy was. But I had things ratched in tight.
Re: Securing dinghy on davits
I am not sold or convinced using a toppping lift is an ideal solution. Our topping lift is in use and supports the boom. Are your saying your topping lift is useless on your boat? Not sure I would want that strain on my mast on the angle from the top, or the added force transferred up high as the weight of the dinghy was held by a point 50 ft above the deck. . If you were going to use a topping lift, why not use a secondary halyard instead.
On thing I noticed is that you dont have a cross piece beween the two arms. What keeps them from rotation and moving . What keeps the center of gravity equally between the two arms? Instead of the weight of the dinghy directly under each arm it looks like it is hung like a pendulum under the davits. That would increase the swing potential. I know on some of those huge transom boats like Benes, Hunter and Cats That may interfer with the swim platform. Thats why usually the have their davits imbedded in their hull and not the transoms.
I looked at the removable ones and that plus the lack of lower support pushed me to fixed davits. This may also help prevent " flexing" and movement. To me most of the forces should be applied lower than higher on davits and the removable ones all had the pressure poisnts up high and depended on the rear rails for support to much. The Garhauer davits we have came in two styles. either they go through the hull and are bedded on a plate on the hull. Or they are bedded on the trasome with a huge backing plate. This way the forces are spread out.
Also what are your attachment points. Do you have web starpping which comes to a stainless O ring or are using "line". It appears its line and does the line have a stretch component.
I looked at the forces not just the weight I was asking the davits to carry. As you boat pitches and swats in the wave action the forces of the dinghy/ motor will be many times more than just the weight of both and they are transferred to wherever you have attached them to you boat. It is important to spread those forces out a wide as possible and as low as possible on the boat.
The 11/4" stainless Garhauer davits we have are rated at 250 lbs per arm. Thats dead hanging weight.

Re: Securing dinghy on davits
I have a ridged vang and use the main halyard as a topping lift when the main is down. I'll replace the ratchets as needed. I'll also add chafe gear as needed. Thanks for the tips.
Re: Securing dinghy on davits
Way to go!
Using the topping lift, particularly while underway, is a pretty good idea. Assuming your boom isn't at risk of coming downing your head. Do you have a rigid vang?
I thought I would add that I slip an anti-chafe sleeve over the strap that wraps around the tube.
Unfortunately, if those ratchets aren't stainless steal, they will corrode quickly.
|Gene T
Re: Securing dinghy on davits
When I was thinking about these davits I saw them on a Beneteau at Catalina Island. He had a larger RIB with a 20hp 4stroke and had been using it for 6 years, sold me. They are rated at 175 per arm but are easily removable. The owner mentioned using the topping lift to help support the load. I though it was a great idea and as I don't use the topping lift anyway why not. This shot shows it connected to the bridal, it pulls the dinghy in and shares the load.
|Gene T
Re: Securing dinghy on davits
Thought I would post a picture using the advise here. I had some SnapOn straps from Costco. I tied on some stainless carabiners for easier attachment. Still a work in progress but this worked great.
Re: Securing dinghy on davits
My ratchets have a short piece of webbing sewn onto the rear bar. It is about a foot long and loop is sewn in the other end. This loop is used to wrap the short ratchet strap around a pushpit stanchion and the ratchet goes back through the loop, so it is essentially in a fixed spot. The straps that attach to the dinghy have a stainless hook sewn to the other end. Hoping that makes sense.

That's pretty nice. I have a 22 I'm doing some stuff with too. I lucked into an AMT rifle that they made only one year if I remember right. It's made almost exact to the Ruger 10-22 except it has a steel receiver rather than the aluminum one in most Ruger.
How do you like the TS barrel? I have been looking at them for a while for my MKIII and my rifle project.
Here's mine as it is so far

The 80's caprice's are a very nice ride, that's why I like them so much. Having a sbc from the factory makes them very easy to modify and can be just as fast as any other sbc car from the 60's or 70's in my opinion. All my friends give me crap about my caprice because it is extremely out of style but I don't need a shiny new car. I just can't justify paying upwards of 20 grand for vehicle and no new cars last anyway. When my buddies are poking fun at my car I just tell them yeah that car is 31 years old, 100% stock, it's completely reliable, and cost me equal to about two of your car payments.
I will throw the 327 in the 80, mostly just so I can experience a car with a 327. I am a huge sbc fan so its more of a way for myself to appreciate a part of Chevrolet history. Install the engine, get it running, drive it for a bit, that's enough for me, ill get my fix.
If she was still alive, I could ask her. She actually left the car with my Father when she left him. My family always told me that he wanted that car because it had the 302.
But I've come to find out that a lot of things I was told weren't always the truth!
Oh, and if you're gonna change the gears anyway, then sure, put the 327 in there. But for the cost of having to refresh it, I personally would sell it, and build the 350, as well as change the gears.
You don't need to race to have a fun car. My '70 hearse weighs in around 7k. It's got the 472 in it. 525 foot pounds at my foot! It's a fun car to drive. My '88 Firebird Formula has a well built 383 and a lot of suspension work. My '73 Nova has a mildly built 350, and everything else is stock. PEG-LEGGIN'!!!! My '88 CRX has a 1.6l ZC motor in it. With the intake, header and muffler, I'm probably somewhere around 120hp to the fly wheel! Sure, it's not the fastest car, but it gets me through traffic. But when I want to take it up to the mountains, it holds it's own. All of my cars are fun cars, but I've only raced two of them.
I remember working on cop cars at my last job. The box Caprices (like yours) were really nice cars. You can drive all day long and still feel comfortable. And the 350 TBI had just enough power to have LOADS of fun! It wasn't neck breaking torque, or have 0-60 times in the 4, 5 or even 6 second range, but they were fun cars! The thing about them is they had a good amount of torque at low RPMs, which makes for a fun car.
Anyone who's owned a big block can tell you that. Low RPM torque = FUN!!
|The solid lifter, Holley 4 barrel, 4speed equipped 302 engine was only available in the 67-69 Camaros with the Z28 option. Could it be your mother had a '68 Impala with a 307? 1968 was the first year the 307s were available.
|It's always the same old rhetoric about levers and piston speed and this and that. We're not talking about formula one or top fuel dragsters. I've driven 1960's era C40's and C50's (big trucks with dump beds that haul big loads) those are much more massive than any Impala. What were those powered with? Oh that's right, these "supposedly only good for high-revving" 283's and 327's. We can argue the science of it at it's extreme limits all day long but all that matters is that in a PRACTICAL APPLICATION, the sum of the parts out weigh the bore to stroke ratio. ESPECIALLY on identical platforms. Small ports, small valves, the right cam and CORRECT GEARING, will make more a difference than the miniscule amount of stroke the 305 provides over the 327. The fact that the 327 can take advantage of a larger cam at a low rpm (because it's a bigger engine than the 305) is a bigger factor than the bore to stroke ratio.
|If you're going to be cruising at super low rpm then I would get a HV oil pump and be very careful when tuning your ignition curve and idle, transition, and primary circuits on your carb.
BUT piston speed is almost never a limiting factor on a street engine and we're not discussing two completely different engines, but rather two identical engines with the exception of the piston diameter and crankshaft throw.
The 327 will have more power at every engine speed when compared to an equally built 305.
I think that GM only offered the 302s in Camaros from 67-69.Im not aware of any other car that had that engine option? The option code started with Z28,The SS car was a Z27 and the RS was a Z22 from what I remember
Sorry if I'm out of line here, but first any 327 would be better than any 305 any day. Even the '90 or so TPI from the third gen Camaros and Firebirds that made something like 220hp. More cubes, more power. Plain and simple. But if we are talking about application, then the story changes entirely. He's replacing a V6. So to start out, first, he'll get more power anyway. But the 327 won't like those gears AT ALL!!!! It may have a 2004r, or even better, a 700r4 which means better first gear to get off the line, but the 327 just won't be happy in that car. Especially in OD at 75 around what, 1700 or so RPMs? But again, it will be more powerful than the 6 cylinder that blew.
As for comparing cubes to strokes, well, all things being equal, in a balanced set up, the longer stroke always makes more torque at a lower RPM. That's why the 327 was used in Rally racing. They wanted to use it in road racing, (Trans Am) but the 5 liter limit caused GM to build the 302. (as I have read) Both 327 and 302 are high revving motors. But they did offer both of them in very large (by today's standards) cars like the Impala that this 327 came from. My mother had a '67 Impala that had a 302.
Not to downgrade here, but in the Honda "Tuner" world, rod/stroke ratio is a huge concern. I won't bore you with specifics, but with a tiny motor, every little thing comes into play.
About the Caddy 500 having loads of torque, (550 in 1970 to be exact), well, we are talking about a 500 cubic inch motor! That's a LOT of displacement! But the 472 makes 525 foot pounds. The difference is just under a quarter of an inch of stroke. At that size, 25 foot pounds is nothing.
As for every 327 and 350 coming from a Vette, mine did too. I was a bigger four door station wagon version of a Vette!!!!
Sorry to sound like a broken record, but to have a more fun car, sell the 327 and use that money to build that 350 block. Being a roller cam, that is good enough reason for me. More torque with the 350, more horsepower in a usable range, so on and so on.... Anyways, the police package gave the Caprice a 350 with TBI and that was a great set up!
And about that 7.5" rear, if it has better gears, use that. You could always go to the scrap yard and get another posi unit for it, if you get tired of peg-leggin'! And like the rest of us, you like to hold on to things, so just hold on to the current rear with posi for later. If you have enough left over from selling the 327, get some gears for it!
Connecting Rod vs. Stroke Analysis
the guy that wrote it goes by 'Panic' and he's beyond pretty sharp. The math doesn't lie.
Bigger rod to stroke ratio equates into greater piston speed at the same rpm as lower rod to stroke ratios. With that being said, timing has to be more precise to maximize the effect of the faster piston speed and vice versa, at lower rpm's a larger rod to stroke ratio has a greater affect on torque.
My favorite example is, of course, a Nailhead (tiny valves), Buick made a 400+ torque motor in the late fifties by maximizing this concept with a 1.875/1.50 valve size.
|I have found out this engine did come out of a vette but not originally. Its a 275hp 327 out of a Impala with a 4 speed. I put the engine on a stand and removed the oil pan. It actually looks pretty good. All rods and caps have numbers stamped in them and the cross hatch in the cylinders doesn't look factory. There is basically no slug build up any wear so I'm thinking this engine has been rebuilt and there is not very many miles on it. I looked in the spark plug hole and I can see that it has flat top pistons, defiantly not dished. I will not be putting this in my 82, it runs to good to pull out the 305 and put in a mystery condition 327. It's going in my 80 caprice that already has a blown V6, makes a lot more sense to put it in a car that already is in need of a engine. The plan is to run it in the 80 with full length headers (my factory manifolds won't bolt up) and dual exhaust and maybe some 3.73's in the rear. I know a lot of people think this is a waste of time but I like seeing what I can build with spare parts for next to no money invested.
I agree on the weight factor or running a higher stall or better tires, but I'm guessing since this is a caprice you can count on it having passengers and such.
You'd also be surprised what difference the larger bore can have on even 1.94" valves. It'll affect the entire power curve, not just the peak.
I may just be the oddball in that I think there's more to making a the average car go fast than eeking every last little hp out of a given motor. And I'm fine with that. On a drag strip, 15hp is an advantage that is broken by a taking out a back seat and avoiding dinner before you head out.
Valve shrouding can be a big factor.

Have any of you ever seen or heard of a woman doing a tuck axel?

However, I do change engine oil based on the oil life monitor message (not to change the flavor of the thread).

Re: 99 seville 100% tranny life since day one
The transmission fluid in modern cars is easily good for the life of the car in normal driving. Running it to 100K is very "safe" and will cause no harm to the tranny. Tranny fluid isn't like engine oil. It's not exposed to blow by and by products of combustion. It doesn't see copius amounts of water from blowby on coldstarts. There's not much to deplete the lubricating characteristics of the tranny oil and the antiwear and special friction modifier packages are very robust and stable. The temperature of the transmission fluid is pretty carefully controlled in the cooling development for the car. About the only thing that will shorten the tranny fluid's life is excessive heat and excessive heat for long periods of time. Since the modern tranny fluid has a high synthetic content it is pretty stable even at temperatures approaching 300 degrees. So the things that govern an oil change in an engine don't apply to the transmission at all.
The transmission fluid life "counter" in the display uses the tranny temperature as a means of judging the transmission fluid's life. As long as nothing is done that the algorithm sees to shorten the life of the fluid it will stay at 100% virtually forever. If you start towing trailers or running extended heavy load operation you will see the tranny fluid life decrement fairly rapidly. If it is "stuck" on 100% then that means that the operating parameters that the PCM sees for the trans fluid have all remained well within the guidelines for life time use of the fluid. The transmission oil life monitor does not operate the same way the engine oil life monitor operates so you will typically see it stay at 100% in most cases.

Search our archives using the search feature and type in "trans flush", "tranny flush" and/or "transmission flush" for some interesting reading. Not the most desireable thing to do given the risk of contamination from the flushing equipment.
Simply dropping the bottom pan and also draining the fluid from the side cover via the hidden drain plug under the bottom pan is plenty sufficient.

Re: 99 seville 100% tranny life since day one
Do I need to pull the trans to replace the solenoids? trans shop says they pull the trans, all the threads say you just pull the pan and be very careful. I have a '95 N* SLS 4T80E Trans.

While my Seville was at Broken Cadillac, I used a 05 Deville. I checked the readouts and at 2500mi. the Trans life was already at 98%.

Re: 99 seville 100% tranny life since day oneOriginally Posted by El Dobro
I have driven rental Devilles (more than once) and they all show varying percentages of tranny fluid life. Even the Devilles with lower mileage, the tranny fluid indicator was already below 100%
What gives?
Aren't these transmissions all basically the same?
Why is the tranny fluid life indicator in most, if not all, Sevilles, stuck at 100% tranny fluid life???
I wish someone would come up with an answer that makes sense.
Re: 99 seville 100% tranny life since day one
Hmm, why would a rental have less life left?? Have you ever seen someone driving the "rental". That about says it all.
Re: 99 seville 100% tranny life since day one
My Seville is at 100% and it has over 92,000 so far.
Re: 99 seville 100% tranny life since day one
My 98 SLS also says 100% at 77,000 miles on the clock.
I have also read the dangers of doing a Tranny Fluid Flush on this site.
I am not going to touch mine or have it drained until 100,000 miles.
If it's not broken, don't fix it?
How do you get to see the trans % life left?
I have a 1998 ETC, and when I scroll through the Information screens, I get no Transmission % left. I do get the oil %, MPG, etc. I have never see the Transmission fluid one.
Thanks in advance for your reply!
Re: 99 seville 100% tranny life since day one
The Eldorado readouts do not mention anything about the tranny fluid life. I think it is a '98 and up Seville option.
I never saw the purpose of changing the tranny fluid even at 100,000 miles. A neighbor of mine who owns a Gabralter transmission shop even said that it's not necessary for many transmissions - mainly GM transmissions. On the other hand he mentioned that Ford transmissions are completely different and that they require more attention.
Anyways, I'd just leave it alone. Don't waste your money or tempt fate!

Re: 99 seville 100% tranny life since day oneOriginally Posted by cl1986
First, this particular Deville had less than 9K on the clock. It is a rental used by the dealer and it is driven mostly by blue-haired old ladies. No way they are going to engage in brutal, constant, WOT driving. No way.
Second, a lot of the Sevilles that show 100% tranny fluid life after 30k, 50K, 60 or 70K miles on the clock HAVE been driven hard, or on stop and go situation where you would expect the computer to start counting down.
I think that there is something particular to the Seville tranny fluid life computer that keeps the reading at 100% life, even after extended, harsh driving.
Neither my dealer, nor anyone here, has been able to give me a completely satisfactory answer.
Maybe some of the forum members who have same-year Devilles can chime in here with their experience.
Personally, I am not too concerned. I will just follow the manual's recommendations and have the fluid changed at 100k miles.
But the fact that the Devilles were rentals is not a satisfactory answer.
Re: 99 seville 100% tranny life since day oneOriginally Posted by 1toycad
With only 9K miles on the clock, and if it was dogged half of those, the indicator should be at 100%. It is far less likely the car was dogged at all. Rental is not conclusive evidence of anything, other than more than one driver. A single algorithm error is far less likely than a fault. The most likely of all scenarios is that the mileage was incurred quickly from the time it was put into service, meaning that the accumulated mileage from zero to 9K was faster than normal. The computer does not keep track of time with just a clock or calendar, but it does count "run" cycles. A run cycle is start/run/cool-down. If the span of run cycles and miles do not match what is in the "normal" algorithm table, then the % will count down. The possibility is therefore conceivable one car may expire the predetermined life span early, while another is still at 100% at over 100K miles. Thus defining, the importance to follow the manufacturers' recommendation for fluid changes.

An international conference on Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual and Transgender human rights entitled "Love of Freedom, Freedom to Love," is now going on in Copenhagen. Danish Socialist MP Kamal Hameed Qureshi, a heterosexual born in Pakistan, told the conference how he had to overcome prejudice and bigotry among family members and his community in order to speak out in favor of human rights for those whose sexual preferences did not fit normal ideas of Muslims. He emphasized the experience of growing up as a minority person in Denmark had sensitized him to issues of those who daily encounter bigotry and prejudice. Qureshi noted that while Denmark recognizes same-sex marriages the law dictates they can not take place in a church, let alone a mosque.
The Danish MP argued for an ombudsman who would deal with issues of sexual equality. Among the surprising aspects of his talk was discussion how there are already signs of change towards gays and lesbians in his conservative Muslim Pakistan community. Most probably, this arises from living in a multicultural society in which law supports the premise of equality for all members of the community.

- - Downsides of taking a pup from the litter too soon? (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/breeding-general/483201-downsides-taking-pup-litter-too-soon.html)
Downsides of taking a pup from the litter too soon?
What are the possible downsides of taking a puppy from the litter too soon? My breeder and I both live in military base housing and you are only allowed to have 2 dogs, but since theyve had these pups they are up to 5 now and have already had the housing office called on them once by a nosey worthless neighbor complaining. If i were to pick my pup up at 6 weeks old, what are possible downsides to that, and with the downsides being stated what can I do to remediate the problem?
42 Attachment(s)
Puppies taken at six weeks miss out on a socialization period meant to be spent with mother and litter mates. This is where they are supposed to learn many of their dog on dog language and interaction. Things like bite inhibition and appropriate play are developed here.
Honestly, I can't say exactly what they learn from this period besides social behavior, but I can tell you as a trainer, I see the other side of this much too often. Puppies get taken at six weeks and come to me some months later for obedience training. They have a tendency to have terrible bite inhibition, lower than average self-control, trouble settling or having an "off-switch", trouble interacting clearly with other dogs which tends to lead to misunderstandings in body language, and just strange behavioral quirks that I usually don't see in ones taken at 8 weeks. I've found that neurotic behaviors are much more common in ones taken younger.
I've had puppies taken at six weeks that came to me later and were compulsive tail-chasers and paw chewers and light chasers. I have had others that had hangups about certain physical interactions no matter how hard we worked on counter conditioning and desensitizing. One that absolutely would not let you hold her feet for more than 10 seconds. We finally got to ten seconds after about four months of work. Mom did all the proper puppy handling protocol, but puppy just never liked having paws handled where others taken at 8 weeks and handled were just fine.
Best thing would be for him to stay with mother and litter the extra two weeks. If that simply is not possible, then make sure you have well-controlled play times with well-adjusted, socialized older dogs (like your own) and if you know the other owners of the pups, getting them together for puppy play times could also be helpful. Be VERY clear about personal and environmental boundaries - start bite inhibition early. Start working on attention and self-control games. Teaching a simple watch me, take it, wait, and leave it will help with that. Work on settling in the house and being quiet and calm with you. Don't reward any crazy over-excitable behavior. It's fine to be excited and maybe barking when running around outside, but literally bouncing off the walls of the house is unacceptable. And make sure you are unyielding about these rules. There CANNOT be moments where the puppy is just too cute and we're going to let him slide just this one time. It'll come back to bite you. Probably literally. :p
Even if you get him at six weeks, I think he'll be alright as long as you put in the work. A large part of it is accepting that getting hi so young means you need to substitute that part of his socialization and it takes a lot of work and a lot of planning. But you're getting good information on the forum, so I think you're well on your way to handling it! :)
EDIT: If he is taken earlier, he will also have a much more people-oriented socialization which means people will probably be the source of a lot of excitement and he'll be quicker to practice those bad people behaviors like jumping up, chewing ankles, and barking for attention. I would jump on top of these as well and work on keeping attention and calm around strangers as well.
Since you are neighbors, is it feasible for you to take pup over there for a little while everyday after work to hang out with momma for the next 2 weeks?
Back in the day, a person could get a waiver from base housing to cover a dog having puppies or a cat having kittens. Did the breeder talk to the housing office?
Because of the things that was written above, they often are very dog aggressive.
They miss out on two weeks of interacting with their littermates. I think it can be mitigated based on the dog's genetics (good temperament overall), the owner's experience, and whether the owner has other, stable dogs around to "help" teach a puppy how to interact with other dogs.
If the owner can handle them for 6 weeks, they can handle them for 8. I'm sorry, but usually limits on the number of pets does not include pups in a litter that are 8 weeks or younger.
Most of the time the excuses to pull a pup from a litter early, or home a pup early are because the buyer can't wait and the seller does not want to lose the sale, or because the seller is sick of taking care of puppies, and both of these are not good reasons to give up on the time in the litter. I will let a pup go a few days early if the owners have a reason, like they will be home this weekend, but next weekend they are having a party or are going to a long seminar, and they want the dog settled before then -- in short, to make it easier on the dog. And sometimes it can. If they have a long weekend, 3-4 days, that is worth letting the pup go home 2-3 days early.
People have homed pups pretty regularly at six weeks. But, 8 weeks is what the current law is in a lot of places. A lot of experts say 7 weeks is the best time. If the rest of the litter is gone, the pup isn't going to gain anything from staying with the breeder. But if there is a litter, then keeping the pup for a week or two more is better than pulling them out too early.

I am new to this board and relatively new to the idea of teaching English as a career. I apologise if this question has been answered somewhere else or even if it sounds aomewhat stupid on my behalf.
From what I have read so far I am under the impression that having a degre will make it easier to obtain visas and ultimately to find work. Does this have to be specifically a degree or would some other form of higher education certificate be sufficient eg: btec HND etc.
Would having a higher education certificate (HND) in a totally different subject (countryside management) make the process of getting a visa and a job any easier.
any help with this is much appreciated

To know more about what it is, how it works, and all that jazz. TLR Sour and bitter no longer exist in your mouth-world!
So I bought some of these bad gender-neutrals online and tried them out with some of my buds. Lemons tasted like the best orange you've ever had in your life, limes were sweet, strawberries were freaking amazing, and cranberries tasted like mini crab-apples. We had some sour candies and they just tasted like sweet candies.
I had that concentrated lime / lemon juice stuff, lime juice tasted a bit like icing sugar and lemon juice was like sweetened lemonade.
Not everything was amazing though:
-I brought some Guinness in hopes that'd it be like a chocolate milkshake, it wasn't. It was VERY smooth but no hint of chocolate. Someone was drinking Budweiser (Ugh) and they commented on how sweet their beer was and how it wasn't as enjoyable.
-Cheap tequila (Jose Cuervo) still tasted like tequila (without it being as rough), I was told it was supposed to make it taste like very expensive tequila (We had a big Mexico tripper person who wasn't impressed).
-Wine (red and white) both taste a lot more like grape-juice or syrupy grapey stuff, kinda like Welch's. People were not happy with their wine being ruined.

The column during last week of the month is Recipe Round Up. It is made up of recipes people have lost and I have found for them, recipes that have been submitted to be shared and some that are leftover from prior columns. Please feel free to email or mail those to me in care of The News-Enterprise. I work at home on my trusty laptop and mail and emails are sent to me at my home.
Also, the first Tuesday of the month is reserved for "One of Hardin County's Finest Cooks." You can nominate your friends or family members who you think people would like to hear about and try their recipes.
The other two or three columns are things I think of and, yes, I know it is time for some more recipes for cooking for one or two and recipes for those who like to eat and want to lose weight.
If you have other ideas, please pass them on also. When I started writing a food column seven years ago, I wondered how I ever would think of new ideas on a regular basis. So far, that hasn't been a problem, but you never know. I talked with someone recently who told me how much they enjoyed a series of columns that featured fruits and vegetables A to Z. Maybe we'll start that with entrees or side dishes to add variety to our meals. For some reason, many cooks seem to make the same entrees over and over.
In today's column, I have Celia Ryan Thomas' zucchini bread and ice cream recipes. The ice cream was in the online edition of the "One of Hardin County's Finest Cooks" column about Celia. You don't want to miss out on this wonderful custard, old-fashioned type ice cream. I gave my husband an ice cream freezer for his birthday and his reaction was classic.
"We have an ice cream freezer!"
We do and it is 40 years old. Isn't it time for a new one? I plan to try out Celia's Ice Cream recipe while peaches are in season.

Star in your own "happily ever after" with a wedding at Planet Hollywood.
Planet Hollywood boasts one of the world's most-famous weddings. Elvis and Priscilla Presley were married in an eight-minute ceremony at the resort (when it was known as the Aladdin) in 1967. Today, the Chapel at Planet Hollywood seats up to 65 guests and features marble floors and a one-of-a-kind glass art piece by world renowned artist Dale Chihuly. Customize the chapel décor by upgrading to satin chair sashes, an aisle lined with fresh rose petals and flickering candlelight.
From the Red Carpet to the After Party, we create a luxurious experience fit for Hollywood's hottest couples! You add the romance and we'll take care of the rest.
