Canisius senior guard Billy Baron matched a career-high with 38 points, and three other Golden Griffins scored in double-figures, as the Blue and Gold defeated Marist 78-65 Sunday afternoon in the Koessler Athletic Center. The win moves Canisius to 14-7 overall and 8-2 in MAAC play, while Marist drops to 6-14 overall and 3-7 in conference action.
On the day where he was honored pregame for reaching 1,000-career points, Baron poured in 38 after he went 12-for-23 from the field, 5-for-11 from 3-point range and 9-for-10 from the free-throw line while adding four rebounds, four steals and two assists in 39 minutes. Baron's 38-point effort on Sunday matches his career-high, previously set Jan. 10, when Canisius defeated Rider at home in double-overtime. He is the first Canisius player in school history to score 35-plus points in two home games in Koessler Athletic Center in the same season.
Senior Chris Perez scored 14 points in the win, with all 14 coming in the game's final 20 minutes, while fellow senior Chris Manhertz added 13 points and nine rebounds, with seven of those coming in the second half. Freshman Zach Lewis scored 10 points and added three assists and two steals to the Griffs' effort, as Canisius ended the day shooting 47.1 percent from the field, 30 percent from 3-point land and 85.7 percent from the charity stripe.
"Obviously, Billy [Baron] had a great day, but this was a team-win all the way around," Canisius head coach Jim Baron said. "The guys off the bench today were huge for us. Guys like Dominique Raney, Phil Valenti and Josiah Heath played big minutes for us. They do little things that don't always show up in a box score. I also give a lot of credit to Chris Perez and Chris Manhertz. They stepped up there in the second half. We need to take this thing one game at a time here, but I'm excited for our guys. Marist is an athletic, talented team and they already beat us once at their place."
Marist jumped out to an early 11-2 lead 5:01 into the game, forcing Canisius to take a 30-second timeout. Canisius was able to hang around and cut the Red Foxes' lead to 16-14 with 8:18 left before halftime on a 3-pointer by Lewis. The Griffs eventually took their first lead of the day with 5:32 left before the intermission when Baron made 1-of-2 free-throws. That made free-throw by Baron kicked-started the Canisius offense, as the Blue and Gold went on to out score Marist 17-4 in the final five minutes of the first half, with Baron accounting for 13 of the team's 17 points in the run.
In the second half, Canisius picked up right where it left off, racing out to a 19-point cushion with 17:34 left to play after Baron nailed a 3-pointer from the top of the key to make the score 45-26. The Red Foxes were able to cut that hold to 13 at 49-36 with 15:16 left in regulation time, but a driving lay-up by Perez with 14:35 left on the clock made it a 15-point affair at 51-36. The Red Foxes battled back and got within 10 points at 57-47 with 9:41 left in the game, but Manhertz and Perez scored the next seven points for Canisius in a 7-2 run that made the score 64-49 with 8:27 left in regulation time.
Marist junior guard Chavaughn Lewis scored a team-high 18 points for the Red Foxes, who have now dropped two straight and five of their last six since defeating Canisius in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. back on Jan. 6. Redshirt freshman Khallid Hart had 17 points and four steals in the loss for Marist, while senior forward Jay Bowie was good for a double-double with 12 points and a game-high 12 rebounds. The Red Foxes out rebounded Canisius 33-32 for the game and the team shot 44.8 percent from the floor, 15.4 percent from long-range and 68.8 percent from the free-throw line for the contest.
Canisius will head back on the road next weekend, starting at Quinnipiac Jan. 30. That contest will mark the first time Canisius and Quinnipiac have met on the hardwood, and game time is set for 7:30 p.m. The game will be broadcast live on SNY.Game Notes: This was the 39th all-time meeting between these two schools, with Canisius holding a 23-16 lead in the series… Canisius is 13-4 all-time against Marist at home… Canisius moved to 8-2 in league play, the program's best 10-game MAAC start since the 1996-97 team went 9-1 through the first 10 conference games of the season… This season marks the first time Canisius has posted 14 wins by Jan. 26 since the 1956-57 season, when the Griffs earned win No. 14 of that year on Jan. 26 by defeating Wayne State… The Griffs saw their streak of reaching 80-plus points come to an end at five straight… Baron scored 25 of his 38 points in the game's first 20 minutes… Baron also matched a career-high with five makes from 3-point land, the sixth time this season he's hit five shots from behind the 3-point line in a game… Manhertz's nine boards gives him 707 career rebounds, making him ninth player in school history to pull down 700-plus career boards… Manhertz now ranks eighth in school history in career boards as he passed former Griff Darnell Wilson on Sunday… Perez is now averaging 14.8 points per game in the team's last five contests, and he is shooting 53.3 percent from the field in those five games.

By 2015, the National Science Foundation reports that the nanotechnology industry could be worth as much as $1 trillion. Nanomaterials have many beneficial applications for industry, medicine and basic scientific research. However, because nanomaterials are just a few atoms in size, they also may pose potential risks for human health and the environment.
To increase awareness of Hopkins' research in this emerging area of investigation, the theme for the fourth annual symposium hosted by Johns Hopkins Institute for NanoBioTechnology (INBT) will be environmental and health impacts of engineered nanomaterials. INBT's symposium will be held Thursday, April 29, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the university's Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, Md.
Morning talks in Sheldon Hall by eight Hopkins faculty experts will discuss neurotoxicity, exposure assessment, manufacture and characterization of nanomaterials, policy implications and many other topics. In the afternoon, a poster session will be held in Feinstone Hall featuring nanobiotechnology research from across the university's divisions.
INBT is seeking corporate sponsorships for the symposium. Interested parties should contact Thomas Fekete, INBT's director of corporate partnerships at email@example.com or 410-516-8891.
Media inquiries should be directed to Mary Spiro, INBT's science writer and media relations director, at firstname.lastname@example.com or 410-516-4802.
A call for posters announcement will be made at a later date.

Once I got the hang of re-aliging the barrel with the pin, reassembly became a breeze. Belt clip was miss marked, pins are too long and is why the clip stood off the frame. Found the instructions for the laser and got that adjusted. and a desantis IWB holster for a G26 fits the PF-9 with a CT laser..

ok, so both being a mac user and being a fan of traditional carving / sculpting methods, i've never used pepakura.
i keep seeing people asking for templates for things, but see very little actual finished, wearable stuff.
who out there has made stuff from pepakura files all the way through painted and wearable? pictures? i'd love to see how it actually works!

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Deuce Welcome to the forums.The rest of us truck guys hang out in the hotrodders lounge.Check out the thread "55 to 59 chevy truck owners"Bring your lunch it is full of information and Ideas
WELCOME to Hotrodders.com
As a Moderator here, I want to be one of the first to WELCOME you here.
I had a 1955 Chevrolet 2nd series 1/2 ton pickup years ago and I also removed a few leafs. Mine almost touched the rubber bump stops. I cut MOST of the bump stop off ... because I liked the ride and the way it looked.
After I grew tired of the Chevrolet and wanted a 1956 Ford F-100 Big Window ... I sold the 55 Chevrolet to a friend. He wanted it raised up. I had thrown away the leafs I had removed so we found a used set of springs and replaced 2 or 3 ( been a long time ago ) leafs and the Chevy came up about 3/4 th to maybe 1 inch. It still rode good ... but he wanted it higher. So we installed all the stock leafs. It went up but the ride was rough and bouncy. He did not like it. So he sold the truck to another guy and the new owner installed a Camaro front clip.
Again ... WELCOME
DEUCE ... Moderator
55 Chevy Truck springs
I just bought a 2nd series 55 Chevy 3100, Some one took the easy way and took out some leaf springs to lower the truck, now it rides down on the bumpers. Will it be better to find a set of used one from back in 55 or is there a better replacement with out raising the truck up to much.
My plans later are to put IFS system on but want to drive it a little before I take it apart.
Also I need a replace steering rod that will fit the ball end OEM steering arms or is there a better replacement for that as well?

Dick Pinney's Guidelines: The first deer turned out to be the biggest
Our first deer ended up the largest of many deer that came after we were able to learn some of the ropes, at the age of 17. I had put my faith in a local warden, Carl Akerley, who had terrorized the deer herd in the most northern town of our state, Pittsburg. When we were invited to join a group that was headed for Tall Timber Lodge in Pittsburg for a five-day hunt in that area, we did the smart thing. Meeting with Akerley, he laid out several plans for small-party deer drives, and put an "X" on one drive that he said always had produced for him. "Be a part of the drive on this first one and make sure you get to stand where this "X'' is on the next one."
At supper time, our group always had a chance to individually tell about the day's activities. When it was my shooter's turn, he had this tale about how he'd shot at a bear out in the cutoff. I ruined his day and hunting trip when I announced that I was his target, displaying the cut on my face, that happened to be caused by a flying wood chip where the tree was hit - only a scant inch or so away from a direct hit on me. He left for home in shame and believe it or not, the hunting party's organizer publicly criticized me for humbling this man in public, the shooter being a retired Navy admiral.

Arsène Wenger is expecting to have a different finale to the transfer window this year.
This close season, the Arsenal manager has done the majority of his work early with Santi Cazorla, Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud all involved in the season's opener against Sunderland on Saturday.
The manager is still anticipating movement in both directions before the deadline on August 31 - just not as much as last year.
"Some things can still happen," he said.
"I don't want make a promise that I cannot keep. It does not only depend on me. But there still could be some action on the transfer market - ins and outs."
"We are working [in the market]," he went on. "We'll see what we can do.
"The transfer market is open for two months and yet for one month and three weeks it is nearly closed. It wakes up completely in the last week and then every minute becomes important. Everybody has played for time for seven or eight weeks and now suddenly everyone is in a hurry. And that is when the most intense activity happens.
"We knew we had to buy [at this point] last season. We had lost Wilshere and Gibbs. We had just beaten Udinese in the Champions League but had just lost to Manchester United. This season is completely different. We have a good, stable, focused squad. We just have to show how good we are in the season.
"We have Diaby and Oxlade-Chamberlain back now while Rosicky and Wilshere are coming back. They are all international-stature players. I focus highly on that. If we get these players back in good shape then we have a very, very strong squad."

The fact is that the sun is the main cause of climate change and that man has little to do with it.
The politics became involved when the people making lots of money selling fossil fuels realized that their flow of cash was going to be impacted by restrictions on using their product. They hired their own "scientists" who had a clear mission: cast doubt on the real science that pointed to a need for restricting burning fossil fuels. There is no reason to think that the very good climatologists who have predicted and confirmed global warming had any political motives at all.
I have faith in the scientific data and the experts who analyze it.
Yes, Al Gore is a hypocrite, but he has done a lot to get people to think about the issue, and that is a good thing
We do change our behavior and the climate scientists are wrong. Outcome = neutral to positive.
Let's develop new sustainable affordable industries that bring production and profit back to the US.

"my daughter and I both loved these! I had them overnighted cause I was last minute and they came a day early! Her classmates thought she had the best one! LovE LOVE! Can't wait to do these again next V-day"
"Valentine's are adorable, I've bought them here for my boys the past few years and have always been very happy with my purchases. I placed this order on Mon. and was suppose to receive it the following Tues., but they came on Thurs., 5 days early!"
"They look exactly how I imagined they would. They were delivered very quickly and are a cute size. Only minor complaint would be that because they are sealed so tightly together, when I tried to get the packaging off it kind of dented one of them (because the paper "marks" easily with pressure). Overall, very pleased and will likely order her valentines for school next year, too."
"This was the perfect card for my 6-year-old. She loves the hearts, but feels comfortable giving this card to every kid in her class."
"My daughter picked these valentines for her preshool class party. They were adorable and a big hit with her classmates as well as parents! Pretty colors,terrific quality."

Seized bagpipes to be returned to piping pair
New Hampshire Union Leader | August 04. 2014 8:30PM
Campbell Webster plays his father's antique bagpipes with ivory and silver mounts at a competition earlier this year in Delaware. The bagpipes, as well as a set owned by Londonderry teen Eric Bean, were seized by U.S Customs at the port of entry in Champlain, N.Y., when the teens were returning late Monday night from competitions in Canada. (Courtesy)
"I did take those same pipes to Canada and back in February to play at my grandmother's funeral and had no problem at all," the teenager said Monday.
The two teenagers had carried certificates from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to verify the ivory wasn't taken after a ban was enacted in the 1970s.
Campbell, 17, had decided he would have to use an instrument offered by a company in the United Kingdom.
"Every thing is pretty much judged on your sound when you are competing," he said. "These are such outstanding bagpipes..."
"Our office is in touch with the families and the appropriate federal agencies. We're hoping for an expedited solution," said Shaheen Press Secretary Elizabeth Keningsberg.
Last Wednesday, the day before the Websters headed to Canada, Mrs. Webster found out she might have needed an amended form of some sort that she couldn't obtain in time and was warned the bagpipes could be seized.
The Webster bagpipes are worth about $10,000, although Mr. Webster said they will always remain in the family.

Right Wing Media Figures Outraged Obama Used The Term "Women's Health" In Front Of Women's Health Group
Blog ››› ››› ANDREW LAWRENCE
Rich Lowry and Jennifer Rubin complained that President Obama used the term "women's health" and did not mention the word "abortion" while speaking in front of Planned Parenthood on April 26, despite the fact that abortions only make up a small portion of the women's health services that Planned Parenthood provides.
On the May 5 edition of Meet the Press, host David Gregory quoted a May 2 blog post by National Review editor Rich Lowry that appeared in Politico in which he wrote:
President Barack Obama was proud to become the first sitting president to address Planned Parenthood last Friday. But not proud enough to utter the word "abortion."
The unwritten rule is that when the left discusses abortion it is never called "abortion," but always referred to as "health" or, more specifically "reproductive health" - although abortion is the opposite of reproduction and for one party involved, the opposite of health.
Gregory read text from the blog in which Lowry stated unequivocally that "the left" is substituting the term "women's health" for "abortion." Gregory then provided MSNBC contributor and The Grio managing editor Joy-Ann Reid an opportunity to briefly respond to Lowry's question about why the president didn't mention abortion if it's "such a wonderful thing."
Host Chris Wallace brought up Obama's speech to Planned Parenthood as well during the May 5 edition of Fox News Sunday. Jennifer Rubin of The Washington Post, responded by saying:
RUBIN: I find his language so telling. He won't even use the word "abortion," he says "women's health." Can he not bring himself to say that we are talking about terminating pregnancies?
Despite the widely held, and repeatedly debunked, right-wing myth that the overwhelming majority of services provided by Planned Parenthood are abortion services, they make up a very small part of the services Planned Parenthood provides. One in five American women has chosen Planned Parenthood for health care at least once in her life and according to Planned Parenthood's latest annual report, abortion services made up a mere three percent of the services performed in 2011, while 95% of the services provided included STD testing and treatment, cancer screening and prevention, and contraception:
During the segment, Wallace himself provided statistics showing some of the other women's health services provided by Planned Parenthood:

Can someone help me out? Im playing a bit of Smite and the ingame text, and even the text in the lobby and start screens are way too small to read. Is thereany way to increase the size of this text.
I'm using a 19inch monitor and its just too small. Ive seen other more modern mmos that do this - leave text tiny because they think every one has a 30+ inch LCD screen. Well many people dont and its really bad.
Smite is a really fun game ! A bit simple maybe but its fun! I dont like the waiting queue or the time it takes for the game to start. In Regnum there is no loading screens for battles. Its all free flowing.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Glad to hear you've made a decision! Good luck on your rebuild. Do you have an engine already or are you still looking for one?
Now that you've decided to take the plunge, just remember a couple of things.
1. For every hour you spend bolting on nice shiney new parts, you'll spend two hours removing greasy, rusty, nasty old unidentifiable pieces of metal and trying to find a place to put them.
2. ORGANIZATION! It's easy to tear something apart. It's quite another to get it back together. Take lots of pics, make drawings or sketches, take notes, and have several books on hand when it's time to start assembly.
3. Keep it clean! The bag idea is a great one. You've got to keep things cleaner than a nun's vocabulary when it's time to put it together.
4. Take your time and have fun. It's easy to get in a hurry when the plan is coming together. I still have to sometimes force myself to slow down and relax. Take a break, stand back and look at it for a few minutes. Go back over the instructions and mentally make sure you're really done with a step before proceding.
Personally, the hardest part of hot rodding for me is making up my mind what to do. The possibilities are endless in most cases. I guess the most important piece of advice I can give you is to take your time.
Now, you have another big decision to make. What's this engine going to go into when it's done?
|good luck on your project. the first things you are going to need tool wise are as follows 1. decent socket set 3/8 and 1/2 inch drive (i figure you have this already) 2. combination wrench set 2 sets is better 3.dial caliper (i don't know how i did without one of these for so long) 4. set of feeler gages 5. engine stand 6. lots of parts cleaner this should be enough to get you started. if you are able to find bare blocks or short blocks a couple things you should know 1. if a pistons is oversized it will usually say so on the top, you can also measure with dial indicator. 2. oversize bearings say so on the back but you have to take it apart to read, if you can memorize as many clearance tolerances as possible particularly main clearance and check as much as possible before you buy the block. 3. the ridge at the top of the cylinder bore is a good indicator of engine care and wear. oh by the way if you have a harbour freight near by they have best price i know of on calipers and have engine stands reasonable as well. hth and keep us posted
|hot rodding will never die.
Hot Rodding is surely not dead in our generation.
Thanks for all the replies, guys!!
|WOW!. Well, one things that's awesome is to see all the young people post, and help me realize that hotrodding in my generation isn't dead! (It just seems like it in my po-dunk town!) I thought smurph's was the best! Like I said I have enough to worry about with school, and such monetarily, but as many others have said, I guess it comes down to what YOU want to do. Obviously you've got a vision, and a will as well. And we all know that where there's a will....
i was only 18 for three months before i built my first engine... handled it all myself with the machine shop(s) and lotsa runs to summit ( i live 40 mins away).. take your time and do it right, being young and impatient, we tend to cut corners... you do this on a motor build and itll newver work out... dont rush it, itll be done b4 you know it. choose your machine shop wisely ,cause theyre the etermining factor of how good your motor will be... can your build it??? hell yea!!!! once you get all the shop work done, its not too tough to put it together at all. My 4wd remote control car was harder and more time consuming to put together. mine holds great oil pressure, runs strong,and with over 3k miles on it now, ive seen no signs of any problems.... sometimes you just have to go for it... but remember one thing... how fast you want to go is directly related to how fat your wallet is, so make sure the money is there before you even tear the engine apart...
don't worry, i'm also 17. ive been into muscle cars since i was real little, and it was my dream to get one. i saved up all of my money i ever had to one day get one. actually, the day after i received my liscense, i went searching for one, and found my dream, 71 gtx. i have had lack of funds too, but all that i did is go slow. every once in a while i would purchase something. i have a job, but about 70% of my money goes away to my future, and the rest i spend on my car, not wanting to be in debt or anything.
as you can see from most of my posts, i am a novice, and i appreciate the help that many of these experienced people give me. just take your time like i have, it will come together. i am still having problems. i still want to do things to my car that i am not 100% sure what to do, and that is what time and research is for. in the time for the research and learning, just save up.
very sound advice, smurph....
the other thing i would do is subscribe so some chevy mags... they usually have great engine buildups that ran them for a couple grand or so and made great power, not to mention being chock full of engine building tips!
Or, you can do what I did when I was 20: Build an aluminum rod roller cam big block 468ci blower moter and go $10,000 in debt!
Really, I wouldn't recommend that. But it was/is a really nice engine. I'm 35 now and I still have it. What am I saying? Of course I'd do it all over again if given the chance. Only I'd chunk the carburators and go with fuel injection to begin with!
Storage: If you have to store it for a long time (more than 6 months), use more than WD-40. Use grease on all machined surfaces. Just a thin smearing will do. And bag it. It will out live you if kept like that. If you don't have a garage, keep it in your bedroom. You would not be the first to do so.
Money: Spend it on cylinder heads. Don't even fool with stock "300 horse" heads. Dart sportsmans at least. Don't worry about superlight pistons, or steel rods, etc... Silvo-lite pistons and a basically stock bottom end is all that is required for your 400 HP project. Have your rods checked and get some good rod bolts. Get the rotating assembly ballanced as well. To me, this is money well spent. But the best dollars spent will be on a good "How To build" book. A complete understanding of what your are contemplating will limit costly mistakes.
Tools: Assuming a machine shop is going to do the machine work, the only special tools you will need are a torque wrench and a ring compressor. Borrow them if you can. The rest is just sockets and wrenches.
My parents didn't want me to work in college either. I don't know if this was a good idea or not. Never the less, since you are not working and after your studies are done, you might want to spend some time at your local machine shop asking questions and watching if they'll let you. The less mysterious engine building seems, the better.
|im also 15, i have a '65 chevy with a 383 stroker and it is fun to drive.but not in town he he he.i live in MNT. View AR (hillbilly town) but u can pick up a 383 kit from summit for around $1200.00 an thats comes with everything. or u can just buy a crate 383 and it will have a bout 340 hp stock. well i guess just do what ever u want.
Okay, I'll have to look into this further. Thanks a lot! I'm pretty familiar with WD-40. I do use it a lot, it is a godsend.
BTW, I'm from Middlesex County. What part of Jersey are you from?
in this jersey weather of ours, keep it inside a garage where it doesn't get too cold. you want it to be as clean as possible; jeg's sells engine bags for ten bucks. they're like giant zip-loc bags that help keep the elements out and the oil in.
it's a good idea to spray stuff with wd-40, except areas that use assembly lube. wd-40 would go on the outside surface of the block, heads, etc. to keep rust from forming.
I've made up my mind. Drum roll please...
I'm going to rebuild a 350 SBC as initially planned. I'm sure I'll be able to do it, and it'll be fun and a learning experience. Thanks for the help!!
BTW, would it be okay if the engine could stay outside under a tarp? Or would it be necessary that it is in the garage?
Thanks again, all!
|Robinson Robin
|Buying a crate engine may not cost to much more in the end that building it your self but you don't get the pride of doing it your self. I believe you will be fine but get some good books there are many on small block chevs and read them over a bunch of times and then follow the steps as you do it. Rebuilding engines isn't that hard but its the attention to detail that makes or breaks it. When I first started working on cars that was the hardest thing for me was having the patients and not rushing things. Make sure you have a good place to work and a nice engine stand and go slow methodical and you will be just fine besides of you run into any problem the guys are always here to ask.
|btw, where in new jersey are you from?

How many of you do your own work on your 1911?

Printable View
How many of you do your own work on your 1911?
Explain your choices from the poll.
The poll is multiple choice.
Done most everything but sights and only because Ive never needed to do those(yet):-)
I always do my own minor repairs / maintenance on the 1911 and other pistols. Things like detail stripping, changing sights, hammers, springs etc. are relatively easy on guns and especially on the 1911.
I do all my own 1911 work. I've changed hammers and triggers, fitted bushings and beavertails, done trigger jobs, sights and so forth. The only thing I haven't done is fit a match grade barrel and I'll probably get around to that someday.
The 1911 is a remarkably easy gun to work on.
Several years ago I bought a Ciener .22 conversion unit. I liked it so much that I bought and built up a frame to create a dedicated .22 cal 1911 pistol.:mrgreen:
I've always wanted to know how, but never had anyone to show me. Changes a hammer spring on a Beretta 92 before - that was about it.
Just the basic stuff. I leave the real jobs for the pro's.
I change grips,sights if needed barrel springs, guide rods about the rest if needed to the gunsmith.
I do all my own work, but tuning, trigger work or anything that requires machining. I have 'built up" about 5 1911's for myself from parts. Lot's of fun.
Sounds like fun to me ..
I have "smithed" 3 different 1911's I have had. I have fitted beavertail grip safeties, dehorned slides & frames, lowered and flared ejection ports, beveled the entry for the mag, installed slide locks, thumb safeties triggers and main spring housings. Replaced and adjusted ejectors and extractors. I have chamfered barrel entrances to aid in feeding. I have tried my hand at checkering.....but not on a gun frame yet......confidence is still a little low there.
One day I plan to build one from scratch!!!!
I do
In the past, I've done many of the tasks listed. But, now, with failing eyesight, I don't trust myself anymore.
I'll change recoil springs and grips, but, for everything else the pistol goes to the 'smith.
i do all my own work on my pistols.
As a new semi-auto shooter I have selected only weapons that have demonstrated their reliability by having been selected by our military, or some other institutional law enforcement. I am also a reloader.
For the initial phase of my new hobby, I recognize that there is much to learn and experience safely before venturing into modifying any of my handguns. I have been able to make good decisions because of a local dealer with exceptional facilities and a public pistol range staffed by knowledgable people.
Shooting and reloading could otherwise be frustrating and unforgiving. Why give Murphy an even chance to demonstrate how
wrong I can be on my own? So far my endeavors have proved gratifying and recreational. Im not involved in law enforcement nor any other craft/trade that has firearms as a part of the equipment used so I am free to pursue my interests at my leisure. Until I acquire the tools and experience needed to repair one of my handguns beyond grips and recoil springs,
I rely on local firearm pros.
I do all my own work. Parts and fitting take a little time and patience. My machining is limited to files though.
I have a friendly local gunsmith who is better than most ofthe names you see in the mags. Not to mention, he works waaay too cheap!:smt082
I do most of my own work, except for the machining. i havent progressed that far. It was gratifing to take my Kimber TLE II from a 5 inch group to a 1.5 inch group after a barrell refit.
Yost-Bonitz does my work (or has on a couple of 1911's).
I do all my own work on my guns. Especially my 1911's.
I do all of my own work. I haven't done dehorning, just because I haven't gotten in the mood. The 2 scariest moments have been when I took a checkering file to the front strap of my Kimber for the 1st time and when the drill bit touched my 1911Sc for the bobtail conversion. Both came out very nice, but I was a little anxious.

Stacey Cole's Nature Talks: Reader right on when he says The bald eagle is 'ever so beautiful''
STACEY COLE | August 23. 2013 9:16PM
Not everyone is familiar with the bunchberry, sometimes referred to as dwarf cornel. Roger Tory Peterson and co-author Margaret McKenny in their book "A Field Guide to Wildflowers" published by Houghton-Mifflin Company Boston in 1968, wrote of the bunchberry: "Dogwood Family — Note the four white bracts that surround the center cluster of insignificant greenish flowers, giving the aspect of a single showy blossom. Leaves in a whorl of six. Fruit a tight cluster of scarlet berries. 3-8 in. May to July. Cold woods, mt. slopes North Canada to northern edge of U.S. in mts. to West Virginia."
Not too far north of the camp a pair of bald eagles nested and occasionally I would see one of them flying over the lake searching for a meal. In recent years bald eagles have returned to the lake and once again are nesting.
Early bird books said little if anything at all about parrot-like birds. The latest "Peterson Field Guide to Birds, of Eastern and Central North America" was published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt in 2010. After Mr. Peterson's death, his son, Lee Allen Peterson, and six ornithologists contributed to the book's contents. A dozen parrots and parakeets are described and pictured in color within its pages.

D'Allesandro is first in city Charter Commission race
D'Allesandro received 15,377 votes, 1,553 ahead of his closest rival, Lopez.
When he spoke to a reporter last night, D'Allesandro said he wanted to see Manchester schools improve.
'Our K through 12 education system has got to be one of the best in the state,' he said.
Other people to land on the commission are:
• Nicholas Pappas, 12,882 votes. Pappas is a newcomer to Manchester politics, and may have been confused with Chris Pappas, a Democrat on the ballot for Executive Council. His Facebook profile said he is a West High School graduate, Manchester native and a Greek Orthodox. His friends include reporters and Republican and conservative activists in the state.
• Jerome Duval, 9,720 votes. Duval is a former alderman who owns a real-estate business.
• John Clayton, 9,642 votes. Clayton is a former columnist with the New Hampshire Union Leader and is communications director for the New Hampshire Hospital Association.
• Christine D. 'Chris' Martin, 9,193 votes. Martin is principal of Webster Elementary School.
• Elias 'Skip' Ashooh, 8,305 votes. In the late 1990s, Ashooh speerheaded efforts to build the Verizon Wireless Arena in downtown Manchester.
• Richard Girard, 7,999 votes. Girard is a former alderman who ran for mayor in the 1990s. He is host of the 'Girard at Large' radio show.
• William Infantine, 7,841 votes. Infantine is a Republican state representative.
Sixty-two Manchester residents ran for the Charter Commission, many of them well known names in the city. Those to not land on the commission include Alderman Jim Roy, school board member David Wihby, state Sen. Tom DeBlois and Manchester lawyer James Craig.
The 10th highest vote getter was former school board member Katherine Labanaris, who received 7,413 votes.

I'm jealous - still waiting for my PM9 to be shipped.
Took my Kahr PM9 out for its 2nd spin. Have about 330 rounds thru it now. I really like it. It has been 100%.
I'm up to 4 mags for it. I hope to get a couple more.
That little sucker does have some kick, however. I only shot a little over 100 rounds today. After a while, ya start to get a flinch. But, its very accurate for its size. Great little gun.
I'm jealous - still waiting for my PM9 to be shipped.
If I can find a pocket holster already made to fit that crimson trace laser, I'd buy one for my PM9
I like mine. 1500 rounds and no problems.
It's the only auto I've found that fits my wife's small hands, so since she got her carry permit I don't get to use it much. I might have to get another one. It's a handy little pocket gun.
I just took mine to the range again today. Love it, love it, love it. It's a little snappy, but its a very small handgun in a bona fide self-defense caliber, so I can accept that.

Hi everyone,
I have a slight problem with shaping some gauntlet caps to the gauntlets. The pictures will probably be able to explain the issue better than I could do with words but basically, it seems like the gauntlet caps' sides aren't long enough to match the curve of the gauntlet. It seems like if i keep grinding them out so that the sides come down and meet the gauntlets, I will have worn all the way through the fronts.
Pictures are here;
Seems like the two options would be to cut slits out of the forward facing edge of the cap and "wrap" the edges in to meet the base OR glue extensions on the insides of the gauntlet caps, glue down and fill around the base.
Suggestions? Has anyone run into this before?

Well I thought it wouldn't be too bad of an idea to start a thread for the average Joe's of vwvortex that don't have killer studios or 15 guitars, so we can't post in the "gear whore" thread. So just post up what you have. Even if it a massive studio or just a Squier starter pack. I like my setup:
Sorry if there is already a thread in same manner but I couldn't find it so I pleed ignorance.
edit: and yes I know I need another new chord rather than that two inch one from the amp to my pedals but I gave my sister my other 12 foot chord.

By Joe Brewin
Theo Walcott believes the FA Cup is a first-class opportunity for Arsenal to claim silverware this season.
The forward helped his team secure their passage to the fifth round with a 3-2 win over Aston Villa on Sunday, grabbing his sixth goal of the season during a stunning second-half turnaround.
With both Manchester clubs out of the competition already, Walcott believes his trophy dreams can come true sooner rather than later.
"This is a great opportunity for us because some of the big teams have gone out," he said. "But I think if we do start thinking a bit too far ahead, maybe we will be disappointed at the end of it.
"This is a cup competition that we can win and we need to believe that we can. But our priority is not that now, it is Wednesday's game [at Bolton]. That's what everybody is like in the dressing room.
"It was a great result for us but everyone will go home, put their feet up, recover tomorrow and then travel and go again on Wednesday."
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard last week admitted that a domestic cup triumph would be more satisfying than a top-four finish. Walcott is not sure if he agrees.
"That's a tough question," he said. "I would like to finish fourth or even higher. I would like to win any trophy we can. I am the sort of player who won't be thinking about that because it is a long season. We are going to work hard to do whatever we can.
"Medals are something I would like, I would like to look back on my career at the trophies I have won. There are none yet. I'd like to do everything but obviously trophies are the main thing."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Suomi drums may be a PITA to load, but all the war reports say they are extreamly reliable in use. Also those suomi barrles are very accurate by nature. I can see the makings of a very accurate 9mm AK pistol.
A sten kit yields a barrel which is easily sleeved, AND a mag well. I am thinking a sten conversion would be nifty.
Or maybe a hybrid using a suomi barrel and a sten magwell. :thumbup1:

super idea but it's probably good to have a plan for replacing your bees before you just let them die. to tell people to 'just quit treating' when they are starting out, may be dooming their hobby and desire. having invested 100's of dollars on their new endeavor, it would be sad to have these new folks open their hives in the spring to find them all dead for lack of mite treatment. the goal should be mite and disease resistant bees, but that is a goal...not a religionadditional thought: maybe someone can start a thread on how to reach that goal. things we have done to get mite resistant bees. things that have not worked, etc.
...queens or packages have already been developed that are mite and brood disease resistant and are available (Varroa Hygene Sensitive, Minnesota Hygenics, New World Carniolans and Russians). They may cost a little more than the average Italian, but the additional cost is not nearly as much as a year's cost of most beekeeper's treatments.
Maybe beginners should be encouraged to treat only for the first 2 years and be taught how to look for varroa resistance with the goal of ending treatments ASAP.
Yes experts, teach us how to make our hives naturally healthy enough to not need treatments. I think most beekeepers love for the natural world makes us want to be responsibly organic.
Please, do not take offense at what I said I was just stating my opinion. It is a decision that we all have to make andI have made the decision to not treat.
well said, david.as for how to get to treatment free, i suppose we all do that differently.
I couldn't agree more...Regardless of all the discussion about what various chemicals do to bees and people, they've been demonstrated (when used properly) 1. not to cause any detectable problems to people (and we've got some awefully good detectors!) and 2. save hives.
David, For a 1st year beekeeper with 2 hives, you have a very thorough understanding of the issues.Lawrence

Undergraduate senior business majors at University of St. Thomas get the opportunity to
present their case study analyses to their peers and a group of professional judges in the Cameron School of Business Case Competition. Each semester, years of business lectures and months of preliminary case presentations culminate with this event.
This semester, Dr. Beena George, dean of the Cameron School, guided her senior seminar students to take on the task of analyzing GREE, a Japanese mobile social gaming company, and presenting feasible strategies to replicate its success in the international markets. Thirty-four students were grouped into eight teams to present their research and analyses to a panel of eleven distinguished judges with a variety of academic and professional backgrounds.
Brandon Korenek, Veselin Kossev, Shenel Rimando and Christopher White won first place. Mei Wan Tong, the president of the Cameron School of Business Advisory Board and director at Wells Fargo, generously sponsored the competition and attended to present the $500 prize to the winning team and recognize all students.
Kossev was proud of his team's win after their hard work.
"The case competition seemed like a daunting task at first, but with Dr. George's guidance throughout the semester, we were able to put together all the disciplines we learned at CSB to make a great presentation," Kossev said. "It was a great experience working closely with a team, and I think it was probably one of the most valuable projects I've worked on while at CSB."
Second place was awarded to Ethan Bing, Adrianne Edling, Priscilla Jimenez, Wade Nairn and Brette Seffens. The team of Richard LeBlanc, Sarah Pina, David Sickles and Caleb Williams was also awarded with $500 for taking first place in the Marketplace Simulation that took place a few weeks before the competition.
Students had the opportunity to meet with the judges during the awards luncheon and get a glimpse of what awaits them in the business world.
The professional judges included:
Well-experienced winners from the fall 2012 Case Competition, Samantha Knowles and Michelle Jabbour, also joined the panel of judges.

Hives that don't have any brood will not waste there energy on excess heat and will bee cooler.
The baby mating nucs didn't make it through the 3rd wave of 0F temps. They croaked in mid February. I was a little surprised because they were looking good before that 3rd wave of 0s (-18C). They had a good proportion of bees relative to the size of the boxes; 4 half sized medium frames. They didn't run out of stores and they didn't have mites, they simply froze. More insulation or just a little supplemental heat on those 0F nights, and I'm certain they would have survived.I had to bump the insulation up to about 2" of foam to get them to survive this long. For my operation and climate it just doesn't make sense to insulate beyond that. It just gets too costly and bulky. I think a better strategy for wintering the mating nucs is to either add a little supplemental electric heat on the really cold nights and/or make the mating nucs a little larger. That's my plan for next winter.
you're WRONG. :-D
Unfortunately if bee keepers were running this world, we would still be riding horses to work and using whale oil for lights.

Olympic Fever: Dress Up

Oscar's a lot cuter than Michael Phelps, though :)ReplyDelete
4 years ago, my (the 3 year old) son had an Olympic-themed birthday party. All the toddlers ran races and jumped like crazy and everyone got at least 1 medal. We had each child representing a different country and I had food from each country "represented." It was fun, and turned out far, far better than i ever expected!ReplyDeleteReplies

I'm an Olympic junkie. My favorites are same as yours, but also volleyball (team and beach), rowing, synchronized swimming. I also recently got into Olympic weight lifting so I'm excited to watch that for the first time this year.ReplyDelete
I also love the opening ceremonies and cry each time. I didn't before I was a parent but now I just imagine how proud their families must be of them. And I love seeing all the teams dressed up together in their outfits.

California, the 54th State, Creating or Saving Lots of Jobs!
posted at 7:56 pm on November 16, 2009 by Dafydd ab Hugh
According to the Recovery.gov website, California — with its 101 congressional districts — has created or saved a total of 110,185 jobs since the Obamic stimulus bill passed.
Oddly, other, less reliable sources report that "the state has lost 732,700 jobs over the last year."
And those same other sources also seem to be under the impression that California has only 53 congressional districts; we certainly have only 53 U.S. representatives! But if that's true, how could the federal incompetocracy of Barack H. Obama report the specific number of jobs "created or saved" — along with the total stimulus spending required to create or save them — in California congressional districts 57, 64, 67, 76, 80, 91, and 99? Not to mention district 00, and the inexplicable district labeled simply "congressional district?" (Those last two are always colored green on our maps, while the other 99 alternate between red and black.)
Our higher-numbered districts (and the unenumerated one) aren't doing well by the stimulus policy, alas. California congressional districts that do not actually exist created or saved a scant 24.2 jobs (I think the last two-tenths of one job comprise teenaged baby-sitters, drunken bums who won't stop singing "Crazy Train" until you give them a quarter, three-card monte experts, and community organizers). Worse, they sucked up $5,740,757 to create or save those 24 jobs (sorry, 24.2 jobs), which works out to $237,221.36 per job per seven months (the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 was passed in February, and the recovery.gov figures are from September) — or $406,665.19 per job per year.
Even assuming that 67% of the cost per job is overhead — federal building maintenance costs, salaries for government employees, payoffs to ACORN and the SEIU, etc. — that means each job must offer an average compensation package of $134,199.51. Wow — where do I sign up to be created or saved?
With the new transparency, it's easy to see exactly how the administration is able to report such stellar economic improvement so quickly. All I can say is hip hip, chin chin for the One!
Oh — and can we have our 44 other congressmen, please? (Hat tip to Power Line's Scott Johnson.)

Local bands will play at New Boston Barn Dance
By SUSAN CLARK
Union Leader Correspondent | June 28. 2013 8:19PM
"Both bands are local and play some great rock and roll," said Laura Todd, chairman of the Barn Dance Committee. "Cider Press has been playing for us for many, many, many years."
The barn dance takes place at Langdell Arena, located at the Hillsborough County Youth Center on Route 13, formerly the 4-H fairgrounds.
"It's a barn dance held in a barn, but it's mainly rock and roll, not line dancing — but people do that, too," Todd said. "The barn dance is a lot of fun, extremely casual and very friendly."
Dancers should bring their own beverages, and popcorn will be available for purchase.
"People bring their own coolers and have a lot of fun," Todd said.Tickets are $10 at the door and proceeds benefit the Fourth of July Association and the Hillsborough County Youth Center. There will also be a 50/50 raffle.

Since we published "The Forrester Wave: Web Content Management for Digital Customer Experience, Q2 2013," we've been talking about our findings with our clients, who frequently ask, "How does WCM Wave research apply to me, and how can I properly evaluate the products in the market based on our needs?"
The answer (without irony): "It depends." Requirements vary and will affect your path to a solution. Reaching a solid decision can be challenging.
So to help our clients get the most benefit from Forrester's 2013 WCM Wave, here's some additional guidance based on what works and how you can get the most out of our WCM Wave report.
Posted by David Aponovich on April 8, 2013
Not long ago, digital marketers lived by the rule "Content is king!"
Today, what matters is what you do with that content and your digital channels. In 2013, digital experience (DX) is king, so it's imperative that you deliver interactions that are personal, contextual, and multichannel. We're talking websites, mobile, social, email, and kiosks — with Google Glass and more coming soon.
Firms need the right technology in place so IT and marketing pros can deliver on this big vision if they intend to differentiate via digital. But let's be frank: This is a complex challenge, and many companies are a long way from solving it.
There's good news if you're trying to crack this nut, however. Our newly published report, "The Forrester Wave™: Web Content Management For Digital Customer Experience, Q2 2013," shows that the current crop of web content management solutions is laser-focused on supporting the DX mandate.
Our report provides IT, business, and marketing pros a deep look at 10 providers of web content management (WCM) solutions — Adobe Systems, Acquia, Ektron, HP Autonomy, IBM, Microsoft, OpenText, Oracle, SDL, and Sitecore. We analyzed solutions across 100 criteria, reviewed extensive product demos, and spoke with dozens of WCM vendor customers. We heard the good, the bad, and the ugly of WCM use in the field. And, for the first time, Forrester's WCM Wave looks at an open source platform (Drupal), through the lens of Acquia, a for-profit company that supports Drupal.

13 things you've got to do in Seoul
Korea's tourism industry may be scrambling to harness the newfound fame of the Gangnam district south of the Han River, but the truth is the coolest experiences from a visitor's perspective are concentrated in the northern part of the city.
Got some spare time in Seoul? Here's what to do.
1. Korea Furniture Museum
Yes, we know, it sounds like the kind of place even your grandparents would find boring, but hear us out on this insider's secret.
The Korea Furniture Museum houses more than 2,000 traditional furniture pieces, plus 10 hanok (traditional Korean houses).
The museum itself is one of the most important and beautiful pieces of architecture in Seoul, and one of the first places global curators and designers visit when they hit the city.
Important: Reservations are required. No walk-ins.
330-577 Seongbuk-dong, Seongbuk-gu; +82 2 745 0181; tours and restaurant reservations by appointment only; www.kofum.com
2. T.um
Run by Korea's largest telecommunications provider, SK Telecom, T.um offers an amazing look at the technology we'll be using in the very near future.
The best thing about the sneak preview of these shopping avatars and self-driving cars is realizing how awesome your life is going to be in 10 years.
Reservations must be made in advance on the website -- daily 11 a.m. walk-in tours are conducted only in Korean.
T.um, Jung-gu, Euljiro 2-ga 11; +82 2 6100 0601; tum.sktelecom.com
3. Bukchon Hanok Village
Bukchon is irrefutably the most beautiful historical district in the city, a place where visitors wander through tiny streets and peer over the gabled walls to view old hanok (traditional Korean houses) of various shapes and sizes.
Memorable pit stop: the outdoor museum and bittersweet omija in one of the tea houses.
Bukchon Culture Center, 105 Gye-dong, Jongro-gu; +82 2 3707 8388

4. Gwanghwamun station
Gyeongbokgung Palace. The Cheonggyecheon stream. King Sejong statue.
All three of Seoul's major tourist spots are a short walk from small Gwanghwamun subway station.
Open views of the palace with the massive mountains in the distance are some of the most impressive in the city.
In the Finance Center's basement levels you'll find the best lunch options in the financial district, as well as Kyobo bookstore within the Kyobo building, which has cute stationery and other design products (accessories, gadgets, DIY projects, toys).
83 Doryeon-dong, Jongro-gu
5. Insadong
The traditional Insadong district has been through some major changes. Recently, it's shed its tourist trap image of crummy souvenirs to become a cool artsy spot with a new crop of galleries and modern tea shops.
Tasty teas and handmade accessories make for a nice little sojourn in the city.
Insadong, Jongro-gu; english.visitkorea.or.kr
6. Korean galbi
When it comes to grilling, Koreans don't mess around. Knowledgeable staff will help you get galbi (juicy cuts of beef) smoking perfectly.
Maple Tree is a budget-friendly, cheerful barbecue joint with branches in both Gangnam and Gangbuk. Here are more of our barbecue recommendations.
31-1 Samcheong-dong, Jongro-gu; +82 2 730 7416; moderate; the restaurant has two more branches in Itaewon and Dogok-dong; www.mapletreehouse.co.kr
7. Glam
More lounge than club, Glam is one of the few stand-and-mingle bars in Seoul, and certainly among the hottest nightlife spots of the moment.
You'll be fighting for air space amid massive crowds -- every night is a party in here.
116-1 Itaewon-dong, Yongsan-gu; +82 2 792 6164
8 J.J. Mahoney's
Surprisingly, there aren't that many bars with great views in Seoul -- non-stuffy ones, anyway.
J.J. Mahoney's in the Grand Hyatt caters to a slightly older crowd than the average nightlife venue in Seoul, but it's a fun place for cocktails and live music -- especially in summer.
Grand Hyatt Seoul, 140-738 322 Sowolro, Yongsan-gu; +82 2 797 1234; seoul.grand.hyatt.kr
9. Octagon
Octagon is the hottest club in the city right now -- having forced the crown from the ridiculously massive Ellui.
Although Korean clubs are famous in the region for "booking culture," don't expect any here (in fact, the whole trend has been dying out). Periodic laser shows and constant crazy dancing are the big draws.
New Hilltop Hotel, Gangnam-gu, Nonhyun-dong 152; +82 2 516 8847; cluboctagon.co.kr
10. Doosan Tower
Short for Doosan Tower, Doota has emerged as the most stylish of the non-brand boutique-studded shopping malls in the Dongdaemun district (the Korean branches of Vogue, GQ and W magazines are also located within this building).
Both men and women go for trendy, budget-friendly clothes and accessories, particularly at night, as the area stays open until the small hours of the morning.

11. Vatos
We like to take foreigners here -- mostly to watch their skeptical expressions ("Mexican food in Asia? Ugh!") turn to surprise and delight. There's a reason why waits can take up to three hours on weekends.
Recommended: Kimchi Carnitas Fries and shrimp tacos.
Yongsan-gu, Itaewon-dong 181-8 2/F; +82 2 797 8226; vatoskorea.com
12. Galleria's Gourmet 494
Whoever is behind the foodie makeover at Galleria Department Store, we applaud you. The luxury store has taken every hot new restaurant in the city and convinced them to open branches in its "premium food boutique" in the basement.
This extends to desserts, in a section on the other side of the food court.

Green buildings can play a significant role in community resiliency against future climate change and natural disasters, according to a new report from the USGBC and the University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning. The report, "Green Building and Climate Resilience: Understanding Impacts and Preparing for Changing Conditions," was released at a national leadership speaker series hosted by USGBC and ICLEI—Local Governments for Sustainability USA on Feb. 29.
The report says that buildings should be designed for unknown future climate conditions, not just for historical climate patterns. "Every building is designed for a specific range of conditions, such as peak temperature, storm surge, and average precipitation," said Chris Pyke, vice president of research at USBGC at the even, held at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. "Climate change has the potential to undermine some of these assumptions and potentially increase risks to people and property. Fortunately, there are practical steps we can take to understand and prepare for the consequences of changing environmental conditions and reduce potential impacts."
Pyke spoke about the report's focus on "climate resilience," and asked, "How can we ensure that our green buildings are performing under today's conditions and future conditions?" Building a structure to historic climatic conditions of a site does not necessarily prepare it for future conditions, so buildings should think about the consequences of using historic assumptions for a buidling that will see unknown future conditions, he said.
With this in mind, the researchers first collected predicted climate changes by region and, if possible, future predicted characteristics in terms of temperatures, precipitation, coastlines, air quality, pests, and fires. Then they identified opportunities for resilience through building design, construction, and operation. Eighty-one specific strategies are presented in six categories: envelope; siting and landscape; heating, cooling, and lighting; water and waste; equipment; and process and operation.
"Some of the strategies proposed are 'no regrets' strategies in that they will help even if the climate doesn't change," said Larissa Larsen, associate professor in the urban and regional planning program at the University of Michigan. Other strategies are identified as "resilient" strategies that would allow a system or structure to absorb and adapt to events such as increased precipitation or flooding. Each strategy, whether "no regrets" or "resilient," is presented with an objective, short description, a ranking of priority from high to low in each geographic region of the United States, primary and secondary impacts, details on how the strategy responds to climate change, the expected lifespan of the strategy, information on who controls the operation of the strategy, and associated LEED credits.
For example, the following strategies are included in the Envelope category:
No Regrets
Interior shading devices
Exterior shading devices
High-performance glazing
Beyond code insulation: wall
Beyond code insulation: roof
High-albedo roofing
Green roofs
Enhanced roof access
Ice-dam resistant construction
Class A roofing system
Design for increased wind
Steeper low-slope roofing
Oversized roof drainage
Pitched roof
Prevent flame/ember entry
No eaves/no gutters
Pressure-neutral rain screens
Flood-resistive materials
Noncombustible siding
Tempered glazing
Plan for pest expansion
Hardened foundations
Miami-Dade County opening protection
Noncombustible decking
The report seeks to identify synergies between green building and flexibility to accommodate climate change and natural disasters. "Until now, green building practice has focused primarily on lessening the built environment's contribution to climate change through the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions," the report stated. "The next step is to understand the impact of climate change on the built environment and to incorporate appropriate adaptation strategies into green building practice so that the environments we design, build, and manage today will be suitable for a range of uncertain futures."
