I don't go into pawn shops, but I've had some customers tell me about collector pieces in good to excellent condition that they found at them. I would be willing to bet that a good deal of them were stolen, though.
I'm thinking of the situation where you look through a pawn broker's case, filled with worn-out junk, and, there it is: THE gun you've been looking for; great condition, complete, and at a good price.
I don't go into pawn shops, but I've had some customers tell me about collector pieces in good to excellent condition that they found at them. I would be willing to bet that a good deal of them were stolen, though.
I have bought a Singer 1911a1 from a guy that didn't know what he had, thanks to a clerk that didn't know what he was looking at. It was a hand me down and the guy wanted to trade it for part of the price of a rifle. Yes once in a while you can get a great deal, and also pawn shops have to run the S.S.# before they can put them out for sale.
I had been looking for a 4"Python for several years. Went into a pawn shop the other day and they had a 4" Trooper MK III there. After a little haggaling back and forth I got it for $350 out the door. It's not a Python but it's a Colt and for less than half the price of a Python.
I have seen several really nice handguns in pawn shops recently, most of them were insanely overpriced, sadly.
In the past, I bought the following at pawnshops:
Dan Wesson Model 15-2 6" Blue Good appearance, perfect working cond.
Dan Wesson Model 15-2 4" Blue Near mint.
S&W Model 28 very nice shape.
Beretta 84 VG condition.
Walther PPK, appeared new, jammed constantly until worked on.
Sadly, they're all gone.
Once, when in need of inexpensive home protection, I got a Mossberg 500 Riot at a pawn shop for $82.50. It wasn't in perfect shape, but it worked and the price was certainly right. Never bought handgun at a pawn shop, but I wouldn't hesitate if the price was right.
You need to know your guns fairly well and the market price that they are selling for or you can get burned in a heart beat. I was at a pawn shop the other day and they had a Colt Police Positive there for $459 98% good condition no box or papers. I offered $400 out the door he said no way. After checking with a good friend I find out out top dollar should be no more than $350 with box and papers. Not knowing the market I almost beat myself. Lesson well learned.
Best Baldy.
I've seen a wide range of quality/prices at pawn shops. The one I frequent most has some really good stuff at reasonable prices, about what you'd expect to pay at a good gun shop for used guns.
Also, seen a lot of otherwise good guns, but missing parts. Example, a Ruger Super Blackhawk, missing the ejector assembly, otherwise very good condition. Asking price was around $300. Purchaser paid $225.
The protocol here is that the pawn shop clerk cannot come down on the price tagged, but can accept counter offers.
Bob Wright
The few pawn shops around here that actually sell guns want sky-high prices for beaters, probably because I'm so close to DC.
While I can't say they were great deals, I've bought a Colt Agent, Glock 30, Beretta 86 and Ruger Old Army from California pawn shops (three from the same one), and still have all but the Glock.
The local pawn shops here mostly sell Lorcin, Jennigns, Jiamenez Arms, etc.
Of course I did find one that sold used firearms for more than twice what they cost brand new(no exaggeration).

After much web surfing we booked Apart-hotel Roma for our final night before departure as we wanted something closer to the airport than one in San Jose and some place not expensive. It is an apartment-hotel in the University area of Heredia.
It was inexpensive at $29.00 U.S. per person and looked fine and interesting on the website. It was an experience and part of the fun of travelling!
What an interesting place! I have no idea what the building originally was, but it has suites all over the place and appears to take up a good portion of the corner of a block! One of our rooms was on the street - almost literally, the other upstairs and further down the same street.
The first had two bedrooms behind the sitting/dining area which opened onto the street through a wrought iron grillwork door. I believe one room had a double bed, the other twin beds.
The upstairs room actually had three bedrooms, one with a double bed, a room attached to it with a single bed and a separate room with two single beds.
The upstairs room had an outside covered patio with patio furniture. You needed to unlock three doors from the street, up a hallway of stairs,and through the patio to get to the upstairs suite.
Furniture ranged from almost antique to just old and seen better days. Both units had a sitting room with t.v., table & chairs, couches, sink, stove, fridge, small clothes washer, dishes & cooking utensils. Bedding was worn but seemed clean, and the units were relatively clean. There was a fair amount of street noise until later at night - maybe 11:00ish - we were tired and hit the beds early.
The bathroom in both had individual electrical heaters for hot water - took a bit of courage to climb into a shower that had electrical attachments on the shower! But it worked just fine. The first bather had to share the shower stall with a gecko who appeared once water started flowing. We were supplied two tired towels per room, a bit on the stiff side as they were likely air-dried and no fabric softener used.
The hotel appeared to be owned by a gracious Chinese gentleman who did all he could to assist us with our needs of a restaurant and taxi to the airport - all of us struggling with a language/accent barrier. He was actually there to see us off at 4:00 a.m.! The taxi to the airport was about 20 minutes and $5.00 per person. If you require a van, arrange it the night before, as it can be difficult to get one early in the morning. Again, the language barrier created a bit of a problem in those arrangements, unbeknowst to us at the time, and we just got lucky getting one at 4:00 a.m.!
There is a mercado across the street, and a restaurant down the street that he wouldn't recommend. Other restaurants he would recommend were a short taxi-ride away - $2.00. Taxis are plentiful and constantly zipping by, here and at the mall.
The Paseo de las Flores Mall is a short $3.00 - $4.00 taxi ride away - we went there to shop and have dinner. Had a lovely meal at a Peruvian restaurant and had fun browsing the shops and kiosks- everything from Fox, Pierre Cardin to Mas y Menos, where we found good prices on coffee and local grocery products we wanted to take home. People-watching was also fun.
If you're not fussy and enjoy an "experience" in your travels, by all means, book this hotel,otherwise look for one a bit more familiar. I wouldn't book a second time, but am rather glad we had the experience!

I would definatly recommend for longer stays. I was in Costa Rica on an extendened buisness trip and
The Apart-Hotel Roma was ideally set up for me. I base this on several obsevations. Firstly, the location was
ideal. Staying in SanJose proper was not a good idea. Its is not condusive to moving around. Its big and did
not offer sufficient security. Heredia, on the other hand is a very safe small city and I did not have the need
to hide in my room. The commute into San Jose was pretty easy. Buses were frequent and very inexpensive.
Secondly, I was able to save considerably with housing cost. The apartment I chose was only 700/mth. that was a fraction of anything else comparable I looked at. It had a highspeed internet connection in the room which was a must for me and it was nice to just move in without dealing with all the little housekeeping details usually connected with these long stays, everything was furnished for me.
Lastly, there was that intangible that was hard to explain. The staff was proffesional and available Also being on my own it was nice to have a certain feeling of security you get knowing that you were not just another annonymous guest.

We stayed at the hotel Roma recently on a trip to Costa Rica. My overall impression of hotel Roma was very positive. We stayed in a couple different apartments at the hotel but settled on one across the street from my favorite fruit shop. This room had 2 balconies and preferred the lay out.
We felt completely at home and had a kitchen, laundry service and very fast Internet. All the rooms were super clean and very nice (nobody wants to stay in a dump), and you had the option of a catered breakfast. We preferred however to make my own breakfast as there was a grocery store across the street, as well as meat shop and fruit shop.
The staff at the hotel is some of the nicest people, and they did what ever they could to make our stay as pleasant as possible. We could not have asked for better quality service!.
We had a good experience at the Roma hotel in Heredia, Costa Rica and no complaints worth mentioning. I have no problem recommending the hotel Roma to families or singles as a home base while staying in Heredia.

Q&A: Fruit Juices
Here's an interesting question from a reader who must have read my post, "Q&A: What Do I Drink?" Q: Hi! I am new to the Paleo diet. My CrossFit gym just finished a 30 day challenge (I lost 9 pounds and 3% body fat during the month of April - whoa!), and I was wondering why you suggest only drinking fruit juice that you have made at home? If it's 100% juice, it's still not ok? Is there a certain … Continue reading

Steelcase is an American success story that goes back to 1912, when the brand was first founded as the Metal Office Furniture Company in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It received its first patent in 1914 for a steel wastebasket - a major advance at a time when straw wastebaskets were a major office fire hazard. That led to metal desks, filing cabinets, and chairs - an entire collection of office furnishings designed with an eye to high performance and cutting-edge technology. The brand, later renamed Steelcase, is now one of the world's leading office furniture manufacturers.
Steelcase continually studies how people work and incorporates that research into its design technology. The firm developed Leap, its best-selling ergonomic desk chair, incorporating a patented chair back that changes shape to support the spine as it moves. Steelcase products are made with the utmost care and are quality approved by the industry's strictest manufacturing and environmental watchdogs. Steelcase offers a Limited Lifetime Warranty on its products.

Hi everyone. I have been looking at the acceleration videos of both S60t5 and the S60r. It seems to me that the t5s are faster than the R's. The s60t5 acceleration when chipped seems alot faster than my chipped R. In fact for some reason I barely can tell a difference between my stock and chipped R (acceleration wise). Although I feel higher torque and more power all the way to red line. Well I can tell that t5 has longer gears. When I shift from third into fourth in my R, Im going about 85-90 mph, while t5 shifts into fourth at 95-100 or so.
Did anyone ever notice this?
Don't get me wrong I love my R I just want to see if anyone else noticed this and what you guys think.

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by jkl, Oct 8, 2012.
Sooooooo looking forward to Gilles and Peta's Bollywood next week!!!
Exactly what kind of dance style is "Broadway"? Chorus line? lol! Now I'm sad because we won't get to see it.
Helio First elimination that hurt.
Some of the celebs really lucked out. Melissa's jitterbug was what the judges chose as her breakout dance last week, Shawn did an excellent mambo her season, and Apolo and Karina both won with hip hop frees. (I was thinking maybe Apolo and Karina gave Melissa and Tony the jitterbug as a thank you).
I was really hoping Emmit would get contemporary, lol. I'm sure we'll hear about how his is the most sensual bolero evah. Val seemed really happy to get contemporary - does he have background in it, or does he just think it means he gets to roll around in a bed with Kelly like Erin and Maks did in their freestyle?
I'll miss Helio, he had a charm about him and I enjoyed seeing him dance. There were definitely others who should have gone before him, but he probably would have been off in a couple of weeks so it's not a "shocking elimination." I don't dislike Sabrina, but I don't care much about her either, so I'd also perversely enjoy seeing the judges freak out if she left early in the season again.
After watching tonights double elimination do you think there might be a bias among voters against those celebs that have already won DWTS?
I don't normally watch DWTS. I just watch a few dances sometimes. Tonight I got lucky and was able to see the top 3 scoring dances. They were WOW! Shawn & Derek were incredible in their athleticism and musical interpretation. Kelly & Vic were awesome in the Paso Doble, and Melissa & Tony were great in the Samba.
May be I will start watching this show. Having the all stars has really raised the quality of the dancing.
I was afraid to say this last night, but since Kirstie already said it I will too .... Maks totally looked like a drag queen in that wig! He looked so .... I don't even know what the word is I'm looking for. He did not even look like himself at all, at least not to me he didn't.
Can't believe Bristol is still on (well, yes I can). Based on dancing it should have been Bristol and Kirstie going tonight in my view, even though I like Kirstie, she's not as sharp as she was in her season.
that we won't get to see what kind of Broadway number Helio would have pulled off. I bet it would have been entertaining!
And what the heck is Bolero anyway? Of course I know the music, but its a dance style too??
Bolero is typically a slower paced dance that reminds many of rhumba.
Natalie and Alec had it on a previous season of DWTS
It will be hard to make it very memorable with some of the faster paced dances that promise to be more entertaining for audiences.
Anna is not the shortest female pro, Chelsie is. Helio is slightly taller than Drew, but neither is particularly tall.
In terms of height pairings, Bristol would go much better with Derek and Shawn would be a much better fit with Mark, who is either the shortest male pro or second shortest with Louis being the shortest. I actually think they're about the same height.
We don't really know all of what happened between Mark and Bristol, but I'd be really curious about Mark not showing up for a rehearsal. If he had it covered and some else was there to replace him, okay, but if he just didn't show then that's not good. Something is off with Mark this season. As always, I hate to defend Bristol, but maybe she's right. He stuck up for her throughout season 11, but maybe he's just not that into it this time. I think it is about Shawn. The producers never would have paired him with Sabrina because her participation wasn't known until a month after the initial cast was announced. It was entirely possible Kyle or Carson could have taken that 13th spot, so it would have been Lacey dancing instead of Mark. Producers wouldn't have risked not having Mark, as I believe he's perceived as being popular with the viewers.
I don't really get why Bristol continues to be so weak. She's young, she's fit, she's got a solid amount of experience in front of TV cameras at this point and she's capable of moving. As long as people are voting for her anyway, I wish she'd find a way to not be the worst.
As for Kirstie, I don't get why she's so weak. She's in vastly better shape than season 12, but she seems to be utterly inept this time around.
Thank goodness we don't have to endure Broadway next week. Everything else seems fine, although Kelly and Val doing contemporary could be a train wreck.
Mark said- twice- that he was sorry he was late for rehearsal. Late, not didn't show up. She's the one who said he didn't show up.
I just figured at the time he was late and she got tired of waiting and didn't stick around. I still think that's how it probably went down.
The look on Bristol's face was priceless.
She really seemed surprised to have "survived" elimination..
I thought he admitted that he didn't show up. First he said he was late, then Bristol said he didn't show up at all, then I thought he agreed.
She should have been shocked. Two much better dancers went home. And I don't think she is really trying.
Kirsty does seem to be having more difficulty, this time. But, age is not our friend!
I don't think that Bristol has the ingrained "work ethic" that many of the celebrities do.
They want to do as well as they possibly can; for themselves, and for the public.
The effort required is an alien concept for her.
You have to want to do the work, also.
I doubt that she does.
I disagree. I actually think she comes in and works hard. I think she doesn't understand the concept of performing.
Frankly, I think she's just too young/immature/inexperienced to "get it." It's still all about her. She just doesn't seem to understand teamwork or making adjustments on the fly to get the desired result.
I'm not saying that Bristol doesn't work; just that the amount of effort put forth by an actor/professional dancer is in different category from what Bristol is able to do.
I agree that she doesn't understand "performing".
... Bolero IS a rumba (as in international rumba, which is very highly stylized and grown out of competition, and American or 'box' rumba which originated as a social dance.) All three are related to Cuban son. Bolero is characterized by elongated movements and dramatic upper-body shaping. It's part of the five-dance American Rhythm style (American does usually get the other dances, like Argentine, "American" paso and samba, merengue, etc dumped on its day at a comp, but Bolero's one of the five that matter, along with cha cha, rumba, triple-time swing, and mambo.) It is ALWAYS slow (relatively speaking)-for bronze the tempo's permitted to vary between 24-26 mpm, for all other levels it must be 24 mpm. (For comparison, international rumba is 26 mpm at its slowest, American rumba is 30-32, as fast as international cha cha.)
If we go with the dance-as-romance analogies people start out with, cha cha is flirting, Am. rumba is seduction, Bolero's going all the way. It feels...stretchy to dance. It's gorgeous when done well. It's comic in a bad way when done poorly. (No prizes for guessing how I feel *I* always look..) Which is why I'm kind of worried. I cannot see this being something Emmitt takes to like a duck to water.
And again--Bristol's got good technique. She's okay playing to the cameras when that's ALL she has to do. But VERY often when she's dancing she gets that ZOMG PANIC look--what the others have isn't a work ethic, it's either innate skill (some performers just are born with it), or learned skill of just powering through when you realize something's gone wrong. There's a difference between talking to a camera (any person can talk) and having to perform a skill with which you're uncomfortable. A lot of the male athletes in previous season who haven't excelled tended to express this with the 'shuffle' look--you can't perform when you're self-conscious. Bristol does her best in closed hold, which tells me right there--when she basically CAN'T go wrong (Mark is not going to LET her, but he can only control that in closed), she doesn't panic. When she's suddenly sent away and has to perform without instant feedback, she gets that frozen look. (The one thing that some people do is the reverse--relax when they're doing separated work, choke in closed because you're suddenly under each other's feet.)
To me, Bristol looks as if she doesn't quite know all the steps. I don't know whether it's a performance issue - she's scared she'll forget something - or a practice issue - she hasn't put in enough time to make the steps come automatically so that she can think about how she does them.
Kirstie, on the other hand, looks as if she doesn't really care if she makes a misstep or two; she's more concerned with the how she's presenting them than the what of the choreography.
I don't mind losing Drew but Helio should not have gone home while those other two are still there.
America, seriously why is Bristol still dancing?
Kelly has really improved since her first time on the show, She is getting my vote for most improved dancer, WOW!
Drew needed to go, but Helio could have stayed. Bristol or Kristie should have been out. I enjoyed Kristie last time, but for whatever reason, she's just not cutting it for me this time.
Bristol and Kirstie both have huge fan bases. I'm sure we'll see both of them around longer than they technically should be because of this.
As cruisin said, the age factor could be part of it. After all, at 61 Kirstie is nearly 20 years older than the next oldest remaining contestant (Emmitt at 43) and is from 24 to 41 (!) years older than all the others. As someone who is near Kirstie's age, I can attest that many things I once did with ease, now take considerably more effort (and the final result is not nearly as good). I think she's holding up fairly well so far, even though I agree that she seemed to have more "something" when she first was on the show.
I didn't mind that Drew was eliminated, but I enjoyed Helio and would have wanted him to be around a bit longer.
I believe Sarah Palin still has a fan base. Not sure Bristol does, but she's clearly still benefiting by association.
Kirstie has a huge fan base? Really? So that's why she's back on Dancing with the Stars and not doing any of the other many projects she claimed came her way after her last time on the show.
I'm talking in terms of being compared to Drew, Helio et al. You know, as in referring to the show itself since this is a thread on the show and not on their careers as a whole.
Drew has little or no career at the moment. He desperately needed a boost from this season.
Helio still has a brilliant racing career, but I imagine DWTS was a nice diversion for him. I'm sorry to see him go, but when compared to celebrities like Gilles, Melissa and Emmitt he was not very effective.
I would say Kirstie's "fans" are inline with the show's demographic, but I'm betting they'll run out before Bristol's do.
Bristol has the advantage of both her (and her mother's) fan plus the Vote For The Worst crew. She'll be around awhile.
I hear Kirstie has signed up for a new sit-com on cable coming out soon.
Sarah's "fan base" honestly have more important voting they're thinking about right now than DWTS. I suspect it's votefortheworst that's helping out the most. Really, I'm probably a LOT more tied in to the vast right-wing conspiracy than people on FSU and no one cares about DWTS.
Kirstie...I would vote for her over Bristol, because when she freezes (and NONE of them are doing their routines on full automatic except maybe Shawn, who already has a routine-memorizing skill set) she just says "The hell with it" and hams it up. Bristol actually has good technique when she doesn't panic, but when she DOES forget something, you can see it in her eyes that she's fixating on it. It happens with newbies (and everyone on the show except the ones who've gone on the tour are newbies) and it can be hard to get over. Think of it like in skating, learning to get up after a splat and skate the rest of the program like it never happened. Bristol's still in the "Oh god, I blew that part...gotta be perfect now OH GOD ANOTHER MISTAKE". Kirstie is just like "Oh well HEY LOOK AT ME I'M DANCING WITH A HOT GUY ON TV!" I'd keep her a week longer than Bristol just on that.
Right, Kirstie looks like she's enjoying herself, despite any mistakes. I'd much rather watch her have fun than watch Bristol look like she's about to die every time she goes to dance.
Btw, did anyone watch the "recap" show before the eliminations where they showed some unseen behind the scenes clips? I nearly died of laughter when Maks had to ask Kirstie what "androgynous" meant. Poor guy.
Sarah's fan base is more personality driven than politically driven. Her fans actually have a fansite where they boast of the many different ways they managed to vote for Bristol (one person voting by Facebook, twitter, multiple phone lines, etc.).They did the same thing the last time Bristol was on, as well.

Yes! Even if it doesn't feel like it, I started this blog one year ago.
During those 365 days I have had the opportunity to interact with lots of interesting readers and have hopefully provided something worth reading.
The World of Linux keeps growing and getting more and more interesting. It was already a leader in the server OS arena, but in the last few years it is growing stronger in many other areas that few believed in. Linux has taken over the smart phone world, and judging by the growth of Android, it will only get better. In fact, Android 3.0 is right around the corner and rumor says it's going to take over the tablet World as well. On the other hand, Android is finding its way across to many other devices, like TV sets.
Home desktops are still the final frontier left for Linux to conquer. Windows and MacOS have led the way for now, but that may change with Google Chrome OS and the amazing late developments in most of the major distros, led by Ubuntu.
All in all, things are looking even more exciting that just one year ago, so I will continue to bring my experiences and all that I find interesting about Linux in years to come.
I want to thank everyone who have checked out my blog. Special thanks go to those 67 (and growing) followers!

any plans of doing a comprehensive tutorial like gunsguntsandgod has for standard ak47 builds? it would help some of us builders who learn better by pictures and words :-)
I put my regular MG47 build on hold as the easy build physically looks more like what I want the finished product to look like. I am drooling over the images on the first page. I too started my build with an RPK kit (heavy barrel) and just picked up another kit. I think I will scrap my weld/mill build and do this one once the details are up. PLEASE provide more insight soon, specifically the FCG and bolt carrier mods...
Waiting with zest.
A-HA!!! Thanks, SharpsShooter!
Light bulb just clicked on in my head!!! :)
You've not only pointed out a critical flaw in my design idea, but you've also sparked the imagination for a possible solution! WOO HOO!!!
Here is a few more pictures of the ES on a 1919 m2 tripod I made. Also is a picture of the FCG tray that slides into receiver between the corner angles and is held in place by a couple of 1/4 pins. If the BC rails look like shelf brackets it's because they are made from shelf brackets. Normally I would bend them up with a pan brake but not everybody has one even thou you can get a small one from HF for less than $30 I believe.
<premature post before reading>
ETA: Where did U get that Buttstock!?!? I've been looking for a while now for a decent FN style stock like that!!!
Also, that's a SWEEEEEEEET rear sight aperture/ladder setup!!! What gun is that from???
Cool pics of the FCG Tray! That's a pretty ingenious design format. I don't plan on making spade grips for mine, so I might do my FCG similar to your first MG-47 style (on the fence about that).
What I'm ***REALLY*** excited to see pics of is... Your BOLT CARRIER GROUP & RECOIL SPRING SETUP! That looks like a REALLY COOL, and REALLY Complicated bolt carrier setup!!!
How does that all fit together??? I'm eagerly awaiting your great tutorial!!!! I hope it's heavily loaded with pics!!!
It sure looks natural on that tripod. I have just got to get mine started.
(Yeap, I'm the kind of guy who puts things off.)
Butt stock is made by Tapco for a FAL, SAW249 style. Rear ladder sight is from a SMLE jungle carbine from Gun Parts Corp. (Numrich).
dude that is the shizzzzzit!!!!!!!
What he said!
Your latest creation looks pretty damn good! I'm soon to be obtaining a "different" TC and FT system to use for my build, that will be based on a Yugo M70 front end, telescoping dual recoil springs w/adjustable location feed lever actuating pin [a bearing to reduce friction], non recipricating charging handle, and like you, the FCG will be within the receiver in a drop-in module. I'll be TIG'n where I can and screw'n everywhere else, though I haven't quite decided if I'm going with square tubing, sheet metal, or a combination of both. We'll see when my parts arrive and I give it all some more thought.
I'd like to thank you and cntrailrider for sharing your unique abilities and ideas, which, for the past few months, have given me much to think about and ponder. I think smoke came out of my ear last week, LOL.
Cheers, please keep up the good work, and please post more pics when you can.

At a time when we learned the budget crisis might make the New York Library a victim, we find this little gem of a collection. The rare book collection is a priceless collection of rare books unique and there are 130,000 books in the collection.
The collections include the first book published in North America and books owned by famous authors. The books go back hundreds of years and they are physical witnesses to history.
To view the collection you must be registered as a researcher (which is just registering in the rare books room) and the collection can be viewed online.
If you live in New York, visiting or just simply love books – this is one of New York's finest.

Does any one know if we are going to have a table at the mid-Ohio comic con
If there are a couple of TDH members that are willing to run a table, then we are happy to send out our smaller banners, some business cards and some stickers. Please contact me if so.
When and Where is this? I may possibly be able to go depending on the date.
im not sure where it is but i know that it is 24 and 25 of November i believe
Well, I'm working.....I'm ALWAYS working, LOL
But, I'm about 3/4 mile away from the Convention Center, so if you guys do a TDH table, I can loan you a Segway to drum-up some extra attention :D :D :D
This convention is located in Columbus, Ohio. It is now held in the Columbus Convention Center, prior to last year it was in the Easton Town Center on the outskirts of Columbus.
I think i might go, is this one of those events were we can wear our fetts?
I considered going to this... but just too close to the hoildays to fit it in. :(
Kim and I will be there with Ruffkintoy, but we'll all be wearing our Predator costumes, not Star Wars. AVP2 comes out next month! ;)
This is a great event. A smaller con but always a great turn out for our Garrison. So far we're over 30 in attendance. Not bad for Thanksgiving weekend.
EH_Brandl - Come on out and meet some of the Ohio Garrison folks. We love meeting new people and seeing their costumes. My Fett wont be done in time but I'll have my shocktrooper and Vader there.
If I don't have to be at the funeral home or a baby shower I will probably show up at least one day. My wife said she might even want to go since it may be the last time she gets to go anywhere before the baby is born.
This was a great event. We had a few Mandos around and Jim's excellent ROTJ Boba. My ESB isnt done but I got to hang out with Ruffkin for a while and hope to have it finished by end of January. My other costumes are shocktrooper and Vader. We had 3 other Vaders in attendance so I wanted something different to wear. My brother couldnt make it so he allowed me to wear his Emperor. I wanted to show off as I doubt I am giving it back to him now! I loved it!
Uh, yup. He was in one of the Predator costumes.
There were 3 Mandalorian Mercs there, which were probably the mandos you saw =) There were some awesome pred photos they took, even a female I believe.
Yeah i enjoyed myself there and of course i just worn one of my TDH shirts but hey its was awesome to see other people in costume :cheers
I missed the Predators...
I was one of the Mando's there.(not part of mando mercs) (See thread in dented varients)http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/showthread.php?t=20782
It sounds like everyone had a pretty good time. I wish I could have made it. Things just didn't work out again.
Had a blast. And got some great quality pics of my Fett............
Yep, Ruffkin was one of the Predators. Cutest Sandgirl and I were also Predators with him. I talked to one Ohio Boba Fett, not sure which one, while I was in my blue-skinned Predator costume over by the 501st table and told him that 3 of the 5 Predators there were Dented Helmet members, also.
I was there too...but only on Sunday. And I'm sure no one really noticed anyways.

Hi all!
So I recently started gathering materials for my Fett outfit, but I recently just thought of a maybe possibly potential problem: is there an issue of height? Usually with pieces being offered there isn't much talk of height (or at least not that I've seen so far), but what sort of variation exists out there in the Fett populace? I'm 6'2" and 190 lbs and I'm wondering if acquiring costumes pieces noramlly will end up looking, let's just say "not right" on someone of my build. Has anyone ever experienced problems with this? Any other tall members of the Fett family out there that could shed light on this and perhaps put my fears to rest? Thanks!

There's plenty of documentation on installing and configuring the Apache web server, but where do you find help for the day-to-day stuff, like adding common modules or fine-tuning your activity logging? That's easy. The new edition of the Apache Cookbook offers you updated solutions to the problems you're likely to encounter with the new versions of Apache.
Written by members of the Apache Software Foundation, and thoroughly revised for Apache versions 2.0 and 2.2, recipes in this book range from simple tasks, such installing the server on Red Hat Linux or Windows, to more complex tasks, such as setting up name-based virtual hosts or securing and managing your proxy server. Altogether, you get more than 200 timesaving recipes for solving a crisis or other deadline conundrums, with topics including:
Rich Bowen has been involved with the Apache Web Server project since 1998, and has written a number of books about it. He works on the web team at Asbury College, where he gets to put into practice a few of the things he writes about. Rich lives in Lexington, Kentucky.

The animal on the cover of Apache Cookbook, Second Edition, is a moose. The moose roams the forests of North America, Europe, and Russia. It's the largest of the deer family, and the largest moose of all--Alces alces gigas--is found throughout Alaska. That particular moose, in fact, is so ubiquitous that it has played an important role in the development of the state--although the relationship between moose and men is often adversarial. Moose have a high reproductive potential and can quickly fill a range to capacity. In Alaska, the removal of mature timber through logging and fire has benefited them by providing new stands of young timber--high-quality moose food. Unfortunately, moose get to be a pain when they eat crops, stand on airfields, wander the city streets, and collide with cars and trains. But, in general, these animals are good for the state's economy. Moose are an essential part of the Alaskan landscape, providing tourista with photo opportunities when the animals feed along the highway. Residents and out-of-state hunters harvest 6,000 to 8,000 moose annually--approximately 3.5 million pounds of meat. The future for these animals in Alaska is reasonably bright because humans are learning how to manage moose habitat with wildlife and how to mitigate factors that affect moose populations, such as hunting and predation by wolves and bears. The cover image is an original engraving from The Illustrated Natural History: Mammalia. The cover font is Adobe's ITC Garamond.

Develope locally, windows needs help
By cactusmitch
from Undisclosed
Still easier to get a Mac!Installing Apache on a Windows machine is easy with this book. Getting Apache and PHP to run so that one doesn't need to have net access, is not. An update for Section 2.6 "Installin mod_php on Windows" should be writen to account for PHP5.Otherwise this is the book you want.

The first edition was the most useful and practical computer book I have ever read.The book has "gone missing" during the past year so I'm excited to receive the new edition when it's released in a few weeks.I do remember this is the first place that mod_rewrite was demystified for me which dramatically increased the usability (and scalability) of my applications and APIs.Hopefully the 2nd edition will explore some of the newer configuration frameworks in the Debian/Ubuntu installations.Scott Fitchetfigital.com (http://www.figital.com)

HSRP... little problem :)
My topology is like this :
FAI1 --- Router1 (fa1/0) ---------- Switch1
| |
(fa2/0) iBGP (fa2/0) |
| |
FAI2 --- Router2 (fa1/0) ---------- Switch2
Note : for some networks I use Router2 as default route if Router2 is UP. If Router2 is down, Router1 is the only external way. If Router1 is down, Router2 is the ony external way.
My HSRP conf is simple as possible :
Router1 (fa1/0)
ip add 192.168.0.10
standby 1 ip 192.168.0.1
standby 1 timer 2 6
standby 1 priority 200
standby 1 preempt delay minimum 120
Router2 (fa1/0)
ip add 192.168.0.11
standby 1 ip 192.168.0.1
standby 1 timers 2 6
standby 1 preempy
If Switch1 and Switch2 are up. Router1 is active, Router2 is in standby. Ok that work.
If Switch1 or Switch2 is down, HSRP is active on the two routers. Is it possible to use the link used by iBGP to set the state of HSRP (I have trying with standby 1 track but that doesnt work) ?

NH stats: 60,000 in state hunt for deer
Staff Report | November 03. 2013 8:43PM
"It is very much part of New Hampshire culture. We are still oriented to the outdoors and value that connection to the natural world," state Fish and Game Department spokesman Jane Vachon said.
Hunters will find a healthy deer herd this year with an estimated 85,000 white-tail deer in the state, Vachon said.
"The increase at this point in the season is likely the result of the mild winter in 2012-2013 and favorable hunting conditions," Fish and Game Deer Project Leader Dan Bergeron said.
Wildlife experts urge hunters and outdoor enthusiasts to wear a piece of blaze orange apparel when they head outdoors during hunting season. A fluorescent hat, vest or jacket are highly visible and are proven to decrease hunting incidents, they said.
Motorists should watch out for deer crossing roads — particularly at dawn and dusk — with deer mating season underway, state conservation officials advise.
Deer are creatures of habit; if you've seen them cross the road at a certain spot, slow down and use caution driving in that area, officials say. If you see one deer, watch out for others.

After an eight-year buildup, the Veritas RS III has finally slithered into series production in Grafschaft-Gelsdorf, Germany. Just like the Dutch firm Spyker, Vermot AG has resurrected the post-war German racing marque that sold a few road-going versions of their racers to a handful of lucky enthusiasts. Now, the new company is doing less racing and more street scorching, and the RS III is its first foray into the world of production cars.
In Monterey this past August, we caught our first glimpse of the finally-ready-for-production Veritas RS III. With its newly revised front end (now with 50 percent more serpent!) it looks even more like a BMW Z8 on acid. Which is totally appropriate, because this retro rocketsled is powered by the same 5.0-liter V10 engine found in the M5 supersedan. With 500 hp propelling a scant 2,400 pounds, the 30
insane lucky folks who plunk down a million bucks for one of these can look forward to a 0-100km/h dash of just 3.2 seconds and a top speed of more than 215 MPH.
That's Enzo-like performance for an Enzo-like price, but it offers ten times the exclusivity — not to mention Veritas started operating the same year as Enzo Ferrari in 1947. The difference is that this serpent lay dormant for almost 50 years, getting ready to strike. Vermot has released a slew of new photos and additional details about the car, which you can find in the press release after the jump.

A few weeks ago I went to a bike race. It really is amazing to see all of the exotic equipment used now. Bikes with no peddles, where you just snap your special shoes in. Extremely tight shorts with gel in all sorts of places. And special drinks and capsules and powders to keep you going.
One young man was different. He had a hybrid bike, flowing basketball shorts, and old sneakers. He was 17 and it was his first bike race. He did rather well in the end, considering. But, in this case, you certainly wouldn't want to compare his time with others.
Which reminded me of Oracle/Sun recently. Since IBM surpasses Oracle/Sun in performance per core in many contests, Oracle has been trying to shift the focus now to price performance. The problem is, that just like the bikers, sometimes specific price performance data is not something that really makes sense to compare.
You see in the TPC benchmarks that Oracle touts, they used flash storage. Which is great. But they compare this price performance to IBM benchmarks which were run prior to IBM using flash storage in their benchmarks. Which throws pricing comparisons out the window.
In fact, if you looked at the latest IBM TPC-C result in which flash storage was used and compare to an Oracle result in which flash storage was used, Oracle's price/performance is over 3 times more expensive than IBM.(1)
If the 17 year old ends up getting the equipment, he will surely be even more amazing.
(1)8-core IBM Power 780 (4.14 GHz, 2 chips, 32 threads) with IBM DB2 9.5 is the best 8-core system (1,200,011 tpmC, $.69/tpmC, configuration available 10/13/10) vs. 12-node Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 Cluster (1.6GHz UltraSPARC T2 Plus, 4 processor) with Oracle 11g Enterprise Edition with Real Application Clusters and Partitioning, 7,646,486.7 tpmC, $2.36/tpmC, available 3/19/10.

Hi guys, I'm new to the Boba Fett costuming scene but have been busy these past few years building a ROTS Clone Trooper.
A few weeks ago I came across the opportunity to pick up one of animefan's Boba helmets and thought why not, it looks like a fun side project
So here I am now a few weeks after receiving the helmet and would like to show some progress.
Right from the start I gave all the parts a good wash, then prepped Boba for some dental work with a dremel:
I carved out the visor with minimal collateral damage (which would have been fine if I was doing a fully weathered helmet, but more on that later). After further sanding and lots of minor body filling work, here is the helmet ready for the paint stage:
Animefan's helmet had an ESB-style circuit board already molded into the keyslots in the back of the helmet, but I decided to carve them open to insert a separate ROTJ-style circuit board (the filled scratch marks on either side of the slots is where I got too eager with filing and ended up gouging out some of the surface):
Here's all the extra parts of the ears and rangefinder, cleaned, sanded and filled:
As this is my first Boba helmet, I had a great time poking around the forum and reference galleries, learning about the subtleties of the Boba Fett helmet and all its parts. I really want to make this helmet as screen-accurate as possible, so I ended up thinning down the inside edge of the visor (it was quite thick after dremeling out the visor).
I also discovered all about the borden connector and the polaroid lens cap in the rangefinder. The polaroid cap was easy enough (I just filed out one edge to make it look more like the real thing).
The borden connector in this kit needed a lot of work to make it screen accurate, as it was based on an actual borden which was further modified on the screen-used helmets. I first grinded it down as it was way too thick to sit in the helmet. Then I realised that the holes were flipped around the wrong way, with the smaller two holes sitting on the right under the larger hole, rather than the left. I also discovered that the side hole needed to be slightly smaller than its neighbour...
That probably doesn't make much sense to those unfamiliar with these helmets :P, so long story short, I sealed the side hole and hand-drilled another one in the correct position and size:
I'm pretty happy with the result. Once painted the original hole should disappear (hopefully).
Now I need to decide how I'm going to paint this beauty. This helmet doesn't have Boba's trademark dent, so I was thinking of doing an all-white Supertrooper. But then I had another thought... I know it's not technically canon, but if I gave this helmet a satin white finish and weathered it, it might look pretty good with the Clone Trooper armour I'm building. I could always just make it a Supertrooper (gloss white, no weathering), but I'm not sure if it would match nicely enough then.
Either way, I'll start by painting the inside of the helmet black to help hide the wearer's face.
That's all for now, thanks for watching!

Acura RL Models and RL History
Making its first appearance in 1996, RL has served as the flagship sedan for Acura for 14 years. Replacing the Legend, the RL acronym stood for "Refined Luxury". From 1996 to 2004, the vehicle was known as the 3.5RL based on its 3.5-liter V-6 engine. For 1999, the Acura 3.5RL received a mid-cycle refresh consisting of a new front and rear end as well as a stiffer chassis setup. A DVD-based navigation system is added to the Acura RL in the 2000 model year. A navigation system became standard equipment in 2004. For 2002, the Acura RL received an improvement in horsepower elevating engine power from 210 to 225. Completely redesigned in 2005, the freshened styling of the Acura RL sedan also included Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) replacing front-wheel drive. Engine power for the 2005 Acura RL was also hiked to 290 horsepower and included the luxury sedan's first use of VTEC technology. The powerplant of the 2005 RL was coupled to a five-speed automatic transmission. A number of technological features were found on the upgraded second-generation Acura RL. Providing ultimate comfort, the 2005 Acura RL also offered the Bose Active Noise Cancellation system that reduces engine and road sound. For a sportier sedan, some 2005 to 2008 model year RLs were equipped with a dealer-optional A-Spec Performance Package. Featuring revised styling in 2009, the Acura RL also included larger displacement 3.7-liter engine and an upgraded suspension. After the 2012 model year, the RLX sedan replaced the Acura RL.

Ok since about once a week a new member comes in and expects to buy all the parts to a Boba/Jango costume for $100 I thought it would be a good idea to make this thread. I am not trying to discourage new builders but rather inform them so they know what they are getting into and they can get past the "sticker shock" when they ask for parts. Of course you can always find the "great deal" that comes up and get parts for cheaper, and you can always scratch build parts. This is more a list of what to expect to spend if you were to buy parts.
I will not list builders names, and please no one else do that either just to protect the innocent (and the guilty) And just FYI I don't make any of these peices so don't PM me asking for the $100 set of armor.
So here we go. Head to toe. These are for Boba, jango prices will vary slightly
1.Helmet, anwhere from $100-$300 unpainted in kit form. Paintjobs vary from $200 up. Painted helmets start ususaly around $600
2. Neck seal $30-$60
3. Vest $50-$100
4. Armor $ $100-$300+ unpainted. Paintjobs vary from $100 and up
5. Jumpsuit $100-$250
6. Girthbelts $40-$60 undyed $60-90 dyed
7. Ammo belts $80-$175
8. Belt pouches $20-$40
9. Jet Pack $300-$550 unpainted kit $600-$1000 painted paintjobs $200 up
10. Jet Pack harness, this one not many people make so I don't know
11. Knee armor $50-$100 sometimes included with other armor
12. Shin tools $50-$150 unpainted or painted
13. Boot spats $10-$30
14. Boots $90-$300 the cheap ones are the defect ones from CAboots the expensive are the aftermarket resale on MC or JW boots since neither are still available.
15a. Blaster ROTJ/ESB $75-$1000 the ones for a grand are based on real deactivated webleys
15b. Pre-pro sling gun $75-$150
16. Gloves $50-$150
17. ESB sidearm $90-$140
18. Cape $15-$45
19. Chest display $70-$100
20. Gauntlets(both) $130-$350
21. Toe Spikes $50-$70
22. Wookie Braids $10-$50
23. T-visor $7-$15
Add another $100-$300 on there for accurate paints, glue, snaps random other odds and ends if you are going to do it your self. This is also a good time to point out that that is part of the reason a paint job can cost so much, the paints that were used on the costume aren't cheap.
Again this is just a partial list of what I have seen parts sell for. If I am forgetting anything please feel free to add to it. Good luck and happy building.
Also there are other parts you can add to your costume that you don't have to have such as a voice changer, RC RF controller, metal RF stalk...etc.


text: First off-----welcome to the forum. Secondly I've never bought a firearm online although I've come close. In my opinion--you can find something local you can put your hands on and get the same or better deal, and that's my experience. Your purchased firearm would need to be shipped to your local dealer and there would be a dealer to dealer transaction fee as well as shipping fees probably. Then there may be a question of which state you would be required to pay the taxes in or maybe both--not sure. You really need some input from a FFL holder that knows how it all works.

Tuesday 7th September 2010
International football has never 'floated my boat' quite like watching my club side. Consequently, I spent the weekend with family and friends, and although much of the conversation surrounded the beautiful game naturally, it was very much a few days where alternative means of entertainment shone through!
I didn't see England's game against Bulgaria, or any of the other internationals, so I am not in a position to comment. Like all these occasions I am sitting with my fingers and toes firmly crossed that our array of representatives come back unscathed injury-wise.
In my previous thoughts I haven't mentioned the Carling Cup draw or the last addition to our squad before the transfer window closed.
The former saw the draw taking place when we were already battling it out with Blackburn at Ewood Park and as always, I longed for an away tie against a lower league team we don't get to visit on a regular occasion. With names such as Brentford, Scunthorpe, MK Dons and Swansea in the hat there was a relatively good chance such a tie could materialise.
What would have been my very last choice? That's right, Spurs.
Not because of any other reason than it seems to be becoming almost an annual event that we meet in this competition. Once again, being a fixture we undertake in every league season (except when they were relegated in the Seventies of course!) it is totally non-inspiring.
A test for the kids nonetheless and at least we haven't got to travel too far I suppose!
With Billy Gallas, Sol and Mikael Silvestre all moving on to pastures new, the fact we were a little short at the back was no secret, so the arrival of Sebastien Squillaci was most welcome. A player with a huge amount of experience at the very highest level, he certainly has the right pedigree to become a successful and popular addition to our squad.
Time will tell, but once again all we can do at this stage is offer you a warm welcome to the Gooner family Seb.
I should get the chance to see England's latest outing in Switzerland this evening and like all Gooners I will be particularly interested in how Theo performs if selected.
But as mentioned above, more importantly than anything with all our players, please come back to the red and white in good nick!

I am hoping to live in Barcelona next year and was thinking of doing my Tefl course at the International House. Does anyone know whether the course is as good as it says it is there? It would be more expensive to do the course there but I figure that I may have a better chance of a job in the city if I did my course there.
Does anyone have any ideas? Any help to do with tefl courses would be great for me at the moment as it is all just a dream at the moment while I am in Peru!
Do people usuallu get jobs on completion?

Re: Russell Street community mock draft
Ravens on the clock! :D (Actualspambot I believe)
Re: Russell Street community mock draft
Spam pmed me his picks last night, and here they are.
And with the 32nd pick, of the 2013 NFL draft, the Baltimore Ravens, and the world champions select, Dion Jordan, OLB, Oregon.
The Ravens are likely to lose Paul Kruger in the offseason, while Suggs is 30 and has spent 10 years in the league, he is also still overcoming a tendon rupture and a torn biceps. It may be a good idea to take a pass rusher to help him out, as Upshaw is more of an edge setting type LB. Jordan is an athletic freak that is still fairly raw, but has a lot of upside.

Damn, I was actually available to make my pick, (im about to board a flight to Hawaii and didn't know if I would be able to get online) but Leach not only summed up my reasoning behind my pick perfectly, but I also got my highest rated choice of the list I sent him.
I love this kid's freakish combo of size, pass rushing ability, and coverage skill. And when his biggest (literally and figuratively) competition went off the board curtesy the Niners, nabbing this guy felt like a no brainer.My motto was always to keep swinging. Whether I was in a slump or feeling badly or having trouble off the field, the only thing to do was keep swinging. -Hank Aaron

Also Leach, you left off my Chiefs pick.
With the first pick of round 2, the Chiefs add a dynamic weapon to go along with their new franchise QB, Zach Ertz, TE, Stanford.My motto was always to keep swinging. Whether I was in a slump or feeling badly or having trouble off the field, the only thing to do was keep swinging. -Hank Aaron
Re: Russell Street community mock draft
Asb, i think the first and second overqll picks rotate in thesecond round? Ragrdless, i higghly doubt Jacksonville would go for a TE in the second round, so we'll roll with this.
Carey is on the board.

Re: Russell Street community mock draft
Who's got the Redskins now by the way? did someone ask for it or does Leach just keep it since he had the traded pick owned by the rams in round 1?
p.s. I propose one of the people who don't have a pick in this round (for whatever reason), as long as they can confirm that they are interested.

Re: Russell Street community mock draft
What I really like about Jordan is that he is a very underrated run stopper and his skills in coverage are underrated as well. For being 6'7" 245lbs, he does a nice job back pedaling and dropping into space. Plus, he has excellent leaping ability, so he can bat balls down with those long arms.
If he comes to Baltimore, I'd like to see him put on about 10-15lbs of muscle because I think that would help him against OT's, but he would be an excellent replacement for Kruger and eventually supplant Suggs.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

'Rainbow' visitors upset downtown Bend businesses
Merchants say group members harass them, customers
BEND, Ore. - Bond Street Market sales associate Valerie Hagen says she is used to seeing homeless people hanging out around downtown Bend--many of them are regular customers.
Many are friendly are respectful, she said Thursday -- but this past week has been a nightmare.
"There's been a lot of fighting, confronting our customers, coming in and trying to buy items without cash," Hagen said.
Hagen and several downtown business owners say they've noticed a new group of people hanging around.
"It's been kind of scary," Hagen said. "I've had to confront people and ask them to leave, and they've been quite angry."
Police say the group is from out of town, and stopped in Bend before they head to a Rainbow Family Gathering in Montana. It's an annual festival in the woods attracting thousands of a self-described counter-cultural and peaceful participants.
But about a dozen shop owners NewsChannel 21 spoke with Thursday said their presence has been affecting business. They describe many in the group as cursing, making catcalls, and being aggressive and rude to anyone who walks by.
Several women who own businesses, including Hagen, said they've felt uncomfortable going to and from work.
"I'm alone and it's night, and I have to ask them to leave, and maybe they've been drinking already? And it's a little scary," Hagen said.
Police have received dozens of calls from businesses and patrons. But when it's limited to things protected by freedom of speech, police say there's nothing they can do.
"We want to protect everybody's rights," said Lt. Chris Carney. "Regardless what group you're part of, you have the right of freedom of expression."
But Hagen says her rights to feel safe are diminished, and until the group is gone, she'll be looking over her shoulder when she leaves the store each night.
Police said they have slightly increased police presence in the downtown area. Some group members said they plan to leave Bend on Friday.

Stocks Sink on Day-After Jitters
Yesterday, stocks rallied following the Fed's decision to taper. Today, the market is saying, "wait a minute," as Microsoft (MSFT), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) and Procter & Gamble (PG) lead the Dow Jones lower.
The S&P 500 has dipped 0.4% to 1,804.04, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average is off 0.2% at 16,143.57. Microsoft has fallen 0.7% to $36.32, Johnson & Johnson has dropped 1.3% to $91.46, and Procter & Gamble has declined0.9% to $81.61. In the S&P 500, Darden Restaurants (DRI) has fallen 6.3% to $49.60 after it said it would sell Red Lobster, and AbbVie (ABBV) is down 3.3% at $52.55 after getting downgraded by Morgan Stanley.
The market didn't fear the taper yesterday, but is may be having second thoughts today. It doesn't help that the first piece of new economic data was, well, ugly. Some 370,000 Americans filed for first-time jobless benefits last week, well above forecasts for 334,000 new claims and the highest since March. The Philly Fed Index, meanwhile, came in at 7, below forecasts for 11, and existing-home sales were also light.
Like last week, this weeks lousy jobless claims number can be blamed on Thanksgiving. and say that was probably the case this time around too. Don't expect the seasonal distortions to ease anytime soon, say Jefferies' Ward McCarthy and Thomas Simons. They write:
The volatility of jobless claims over the past several weeks has primarily been a function of faulty seasonal adjustment factors generating and exacerbating calendar effects. The problems date back to Veteran's Day, the biggest problems revolving around the late Thanksgiving has generated some of the recent extreme readings. The bottom line is that it will be a few more weeks before claims settle into levels that are indicative of the underlying labor market fundamentals. So far as assessing the December employment data is concerned, jobless claims are unlikely to provide any useful insight.
With Christmas, New Year's Day, and Martin Luther King Jr. Day all coming up over the next several weeks, holiday-related seasonal adjustment problems will probably continue to be the main driver of volatility in the claims data.
Pavilion Global Markets Pierre Lapointe and team tell investors that despite volatility that almost certainly will accompany the Fed's tapering, they should have faith in the U.S. economy and stock market. They write:
After four years of unconventional measures, the U.S. will start to normalize its monetary policy in 2014. This normalization could bring some short-term volatility, but investors will soon realize that the economic backdrop is conducive to a continuation of the expansion phase that started in 2009...
While it is true that the S&P 500's forward P/E of 14.9 times in the U.S. is the highest level since the end of the recession, it cannot be considered expensive on an historical basis. Additionally, we cannot rule out a price multiple expansion in 2014.
Round and round and round we go and where it stops, nobody knows.

University of Colorado Boulder students, along with experts from government and industry, will focus on student research and the natural gas boom during the third annual Energy Frontiers conference April 5.
The event, organized by the CU Energy Club, is free and open to the public and will be held from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the Glenn Miller Ballroom of the University Memorial Center. The conference includes a poster session, panel discussion, catered lunch and a career fair.
The CU Energy Club is a student alliance supported by CU-Boulder's Renewable and Sustainable Energy Institute, or RASEI -- a joint venture with the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Its members range from undergraduate students to postdoctoral researchers.
"The CU Energy Club draws students of interdisciplinary fields, from science and engineering to business, public policy and beyond," said Jeremy Halperin, club president and a CU-Boulder junior in chemical engineering. "Our diverse underpinnings are the strength of the club and they'll be reflected at Energy Frontiers, making the conference a huge opportunity to showcase a variety of great work and ideas."
Oklahoma Secretary of Energy Mike Ming will be among panel speakers, discussing "The Changing Landscape of Our Energy Future: What Does a Natural Gas Boom Mean for Renewables?" from 1 to 3 p.m. Joining Ming will be NREL Energy Analyst Jeffrey Logan, Colorado Solar Energy Industries Association Executive Director Neal Lurie, RES Americas Vice President of Strategy and Transactions Seth McIntosh and CU law Professor William Boyd, who will moderate the panel.
The conference also will include an energy research poster session from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. CU-Boulder faculty and NREL scientists, as well as conference attendees, will be invited to select poster presenters for several cash prizes of $250 and one grand prize of $500.
About 20 to 30 companies are expected to host tables during the career fair from 3 to 4:30 p.m.
"CU Energy does a terrific job of putting on this annual event," said Carl Koval, club mentor and RASEI co-director. "I encourage everyone on campus who is interested in sustainable energy issues to attend."
Previous events coordinated by the CU Energy Club include a public forum on Boulder's potential to form a municipal utility as voters weighed the option last fall. The club also facilitated a visit from William Brinkman, director of the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science.

The overarching mission of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science is to serve society through education and scholarship within and across each of our disciplines: mathematics, mathematics education, and computer science. Specifically, our primary mission is to guide our students in the acquisition and development of a suite of skills necessary for the pursuit of a professional career in or further academic study of mathematics, mathematics education, and computer science. An additional mission of the department is to provide service and liberal studies courses for the broader university community, fostering critical and independent thinking, creative problem solving, and lifelong learning habits in all students. The department is committed to furthering the professional development of mathematics teachers throughout their careers and to provide leadership in mathematics education at all levels. Finally, in support of our educational efforts, the department fosters an atmosphere of inquiry and innovation through original contributions to each of the department's academic disciplines and their associated professions.
Computer science is the study of what is possible through computation. It is a rapidly changing field with a variety of exciting job opportunities. Computer science majors get substantial amounts of programming and problem solving experience, as well as significant internship opportunities. Writing software also offers ample opportunity for creative expression. A computer science degree provides a deep and thorough understanding of modern computers, from their theoretical limitations to the next great leap in their practical application.
The study of mathematics develops the critical and analytical skills needed in medicine, law, business, and industry and supports majors such as physics, chemistry, biology, psychology, economics, sociology, geography, and engineering, among others. It provides an understanding of the contributions of mathematics to philosophy, the arts, science and technology, and provides an exciting intellectual experience.
Programs in secondary and elementary mathematics education prepare students for K-12 teaching and provide professional development for in-service teachers.
Successful completion of a computer science, mathematics or mathematics education major prepares students for graduate work in mathematics, mathematics education or computer science and for professions in statistics, actuarial sciences, applied mathematics, computer science and teaching.
- Actuarial and Risk Management Club (Beta Eta Chapter of Gamma Iota Sigma
- Computer Science Club (Student Chapter of A.C.M.)
- Elementary Education Mathematics Club
- Mathematics Club
To ensure student success, the department does not allow students to enroll in the same course more than two times. If a student must take a course for the third time, he or she must first take the prerequisite course(s) and obtain a grade of "B-" or better in each.
All non-teaching majors and minors offered by the department require a 2.00 or higher overall grade point average in required courses and a grade of "C" or better in each required course.
All students must pass prerequisite courses with a grade of "C-" or higher unless otherwise indicated.
All elementary and secondary mathematics education majors and minors must earn grades of C or higher in every MA course. Students majoring in secondary education mathematics or minoring in secondary education mathematics must maintain a grade point average of 2.70 or greater with no grade below a "C" in the professional education sequence, the major and/or minors and required cognates combined.
Mathematics courses with a middle digit of "5" will not count toward the requirements of a non-education major or minor. Students pursuing minors in the department are urged to consult with their advisers in determining an appropriate selection of courses.
Liberal Studies: Complete information on the liberal studies requirements and additional graduation requirements, including the health promotion requirement, is in the "Liberal Studies Program and Graduation Requirements " section of this bulletin.
Courses within each major that can be used to satisfy liberal studies requirements are listed with the Roman numeral (in brackets) that coincides with the liberal studies division under which the course falls.
