Today's Root Glen is the result of the work of three generations of the Root family, whose members are widely known for their various achievements in scholarship, diplomacy and art collecting.
In 1850, Oren Root bought the building (standing adjacent to the glen) which he named The Homestead. Oren and his wife, Nancy, set about planting trees, shrubs and flowers in the cleared sheep pasture around their house.
By the time Oren's son, Elihu, had inherited the property, the Roots had expanded the gardens. Although Elihu served his country as Secretary of War, Secretary of State and U.S. Senator, the Nobel Peace Prize winner and Hamilton College graduate found time to return to Clinton and supervise the care of the gardens and expansion of the tree plantings.
In 1937, Edward Root took over the gardening duties from his father. With his wife, Grace, he continued the development and added to the beauty of the glen. Edward was especially interested in hybridizing daffodils and iris; among his goals were producing a "true red" and a "true blue" in his iris hybrids.
After her husband's death in 1956, Grace Root devoted even more of her time, resources and enthusiasm to making the glen much as it is today. She established the Root Glen Foundation, the aims of which were to perpetuate the Glen as a place of beauty for public enjoyment, to use the land for appropriate educational purposes, to encourage programs that conserve rare and threatened plants and to promote interest in the study of birds. In 1971, the Foundation was dissolved, and Grace transferred ownership of the Glen to Hamilton College, which administers the property according to the same principles that guided the Root family.
The glen contains some 65 species of trees, dozens of shrubs and scores of varieties of flowers. Inside the Hemlock Enclosure, paralleling the hedge, are beds containing Tree Peonies hybridized by Professor A.P. Saunders, as well as iris, azaleas, lilies and astilbes. There are numerous other perennials and annuals, some of which change each year as the glen evolves. Among the wooded areas, the Primrose Basin is noteworthy for its Candelabra primroses, a particular favorite of Grace Root. In the Asa Gray Bed are American pachysandra, Canadian moonseed vine and lords-and-ladies, plants sent to Oren Root about 150 years ago by his friend, Dr. Gray, a professor of natural history at Harvard. A gift of ferns indigenous to Oneida County has been established along the Fern Path. The south side of the glen is a display of trees and plants native to the area.
The Root Glen is maintained by the horticultural grounds staff of the College. An advisory committee, together with the College horticulturist, is responsible for the selection of new shrubs and flowers.

That's a might fine job for a first attempt, just a little clean up and it's ready to paint.
Its looking pretty good for the first time!
Just one little thing...I'm not sure what you are using for filler, but you may want to invest in some Bondo Spot & glazing putty. You can get it in a tube at Wal-Mart and auto stores for about 4 bucks and it goes on quick (no mixing) dries fast (15-25 minutes) and sands like a dream (no elbow grease required) You would be amazed how fast you can get smooth surfaces and make seams go away.
Your shape on it is already GREAT!!! Surface just needs to be smoothed out a bit here and there.
I really think if you got some (Bondo putty) and put just a little more work into your helmet you could make a good 1st bucket into an AWESOME 1st bucket!!
You've got a great looking bucket there. But now you've reached the long drawn out stage of fine tuning, which is where you'll transform a good looking bucket into a great looking bucket, just like Drokkul stated above.
So keep at it, as it's the fine tuning of all the small details in the pre-paint prep, that'll make all the difference.
Well I'm really happy with the way things turned out. It took a while but I like it. Hope everyone here likes it as well. So on with the pics.
Hope you enjoyed and happy building.
not bad for a scrathbuild Chris. do you plan to troop with it or did you just make it for fun? I would have sanded it a bit more to smooth it out like drokkul had mentioned but other than that, nice attempt dude.
I definitely want to troop in it and will for a while. I'm sure it's not 501 st. worthy, but I figured that building my first bucket would give me a better appreciation for the craft vs. just spending the money on one that is already finished and ready to go.

It's time to reveal the Gunners' Greatest 50 Goals - as voted for by Arsenal's fans.
Thierry Henry found all sorts of ways to score fantastic goals during his career and this strike - in at No 31 in our poll - was unique among his 226 in the club's colours.
Up next×
It came shortly after half-time in a fairly run-of-the-mill home win - the penultimate game of Arsenal's record 49-match unbeaten run. Charlton were already trailing to a Freddie Ljungberg goal when Henry took over in the 48th minute.
When the French striker collected José Antonio Reyes' pass eight yards out, he had his back to goal and Jonathan Fortune in close attention. But Henry improvised brilliantly. In a split second he executed a powerful back-heel which flew through Fortune's legs and past Charlton keeper Dean Kiely.
Few players had the wit or imagination to try such a thing; Henry tried and succeeded. He went on to score again as Arsenal ran out comfortable 4-0 winners.
"It's a special goal not for the technique of the backheel, but because he is so quick to analyse what is the best response in that situation," said Arsène Wenger after the game.

|Ithaca Accounting Students Tackle CPA Exams and Come Out Strong
|The accounting department provides students with the right tools to succeed, especially for the M.B.A. program in professional accountancy.
Students at the Ithaca College School of Business who are part of the five-year accounting program enjoy a high pass success rate on the CPA exam and have the dedicated professors of the accounting department to thank.
Joanne Burress, accounting professor and coordinator of the M.B.A. program in professional accountancy, said the small class sizes and structured internship programs contribute to students' success on the exams and in the workforce.
"Students get to know and work closely with the faculty," Burress said. "Our undergraduate program includes a practicum which allows students to utilize and improve their client interviewing skills and decision making by preparing annual tax returns for individuals."
As part of the accounting program, chaired by associate professor Warren Schlesinger, students are required to clock 150 hours of education before completing the exam, Burress said. This program, which is registered with the New York State Education Department, takes approximately 10 months to complete and was designed for undergraduate students. Since the standards in New York are set relatively high, the certificate is accepted in 44 of 50 states, allowing students to enjoy diverse career opportunities.
"Students will have an opportunity to gain valuable 'real world' experience," Burress said. "Advanced accounting courses help prepare the student for the CPA exam. The combination of accounting and business courses and experience provide students with a strong practical and theoretical foundation."
In addition to Schlesinger and Burress, associate professor Alan Cohen, associate professor Patricia Libby, associate professor Jeff Lippitt, associate professor Eric Lewis, and assistant professor Margret Shackell-Dowell also contribute to the extensive success of the program and its students.

I actually shouldn't even call them failures, because they were really just attempts. There's a huge difference there. Everyone has failures, but most people never attempt things just for the sake of trying out something that looks fun, interesting, or challenging. For some reason, a lot of us reach a point where we stop doing things for the hell of it.
Why do you think I'm such a huge proponent of free work? Doing work for free forces you to find jobs where you can honestly say, "I would do this even if I weren't being paid for it." That's an expression I took a bit too literally, but it is spot on.
My favorite part of The Dark Knight is when the Joker is talking to Harvey Dent in the hospital, and he says: "Do I really look like a guy with a plan? You know what I am? I'm a dog chasing cars. I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught it! You know, I just DO things… I'm not a schemer. I try to show the schemers how pathetic their attempts to control things really are."
Read the whole thing. I'm guilty of this, I've fallen for the habit of trying to find the path to money from stuff that I do for fun. Blogging started out with that in mind, It has since changed. I now feel as if I need to write things down, as if things not written in the blog will just be forgotten. I have to DO!!!! Again, Read the whole thing!

text: It may sound strange at first that the rise of New York as a cultural capital paralleled the growth of the American circus. But how different is the pageantry of Times Square from the pageantry of the Ringling Brothers, really? In 1793, John Bill Ricketts opened the first circus in New York on Greenwich Street consisting mostly of equestrian acts. Other variations of the circus followed, as well as other circus organizers, including P.T. Barnum—who brought the first African elephant to New York in 1882. Many other circus firsts happened in the Big Apple: the first trapeze act, cannon-and-bicycle stunts, the three-ring circus. In the 20th century, the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus opened a new season every spring at Madison Square Garden. To learn more, step right up to the exhibition Circus and the City: New York, 1793–2010, on at the Bard Graduate Center in New York, and see more than 200 objects, including striped clown pants, vintage show posters, and photographs of early high-flying acts.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Is anyone planning on trying the 24 Hour Zine Challenge during the month of July? It's less than a week away, and I haven't seen any chatter about it on here as of yet.
I did it last year and was very pleased with the results! And, it really is a creative rush, especially those final few hours. So I might just do it again!
Views: 97
I think I would be interested in participating this year. Do you know what day it supposed to occur?
Loved how you did updates on your Tumblr.. that looks like an awesome zine.
I did it this weekend and it was a lot of fun (even with the last minute copier issues and me being horribly teary and emotional after being awake for over 24 hours without sleep)
Will post some photos of how mine turned out soon.

Family Boarding
Our routine rarely varies. Kurt and the boys sit together. Mikias has the window. Jemberu is in the middle and Kurt is on the aisle. I am also on the aisle right across and slightly behind them. Kurt works. The boys play. I nap. I was resting my eyes as I listened to the flight attendant go over the safety procedures. Floatation devices, exits, oxygen masks. We were about 10 rows from the front. Being the first day of April vacation the plane was full of families with school aged children. I listened as the flight attendant spoke to all of the parents in the rows in front of us.
"Be sure you place your oxygen mask on and then help your children with theirs"
"Be sure you place your oxygen mask on first and then help your kids, okay?"
Row after row.
Then she got to Kurt and the boys. I snapped out of my almost sleep when I realized that she didn't address Kurt as she had all the other parents in front of us.
She leaned over Kurt and spoke directly to the boys. "Okay guys, where does this go?" she said as she held up the oxygen mask.
"Over your mouth and nose!" Mikias loves answering questions. Jemberu, on the other hand, twisted around in his seat to make eye contact with me. He rolled his eyes and jerked his thumb toward the flight attendant. His look told me that he didn't think she was too bright.
She continued, "Great! Now what about this?" She stretched the elastic on the mask.
Mikias had this one too. "You stretch it around your head to secure the mask to your face!"
At this point, Kurt is giving her a look that could make a flower die on it's vine. Jemberu is looking at me with his mouth hanging open and his arms in the 'are you kidding me?' gesture. I said to him "She doesn't realize that you are sitting with your dad." Mikias is beaming at her. He'd be happy to answer her easy questions all day. Kurt, Jem and I were all thinking something along the lines of 'there is something wrong with this woman'. Not Mikias. He is a bit of an oddity in our sarcastic, slightly cynical family. He thinks everyone is nice and worth giving the benefit of the doubt.
The flight attendant was oblivious to our family's verbal and non verbal communication. In fact, she was oblivious to the fact that we were a family. She smiled at the boys and said, "If these oxygen masks come down, you put them on and then look for one of us. Do not take them off until we tell you, okay?"
Later when it was time to pass out the snacks, she leaned over my husband again and sweetly asked the boys if they'd like some crackers and peanuts. She handed Kurt his snack without even a glance. She then asked the boys if they were doing okay and if they needed anything else. "If you need anything at all, you just let us know, okay boys?" She did not say anything like this to the children seated all around us.
This flight attendant was a whole new kind of weird for me. She didn't even entertain the possibility that these boys were sitting with their dad. Often people ask if we are the boys' parents. That makes sense. She didn't make any sense to me. Surely we were not the first transracial family she has seen. Wouldn't she know if there were children this young traveling alone? Did she think the boys were stuck sitting with this white guy while their black mom and dad were sitting in another part of the plane? What would make her see that they were together? What if they were all wearing matching shirts? Or hats? Kurt has a baseball cap that says 'Big Dude' and the boys have matching hats only they say 'Little Dude'. (I don't think I have to tell you they were a gift.) What if they were wearing those? My guess is that it wouldn't have changed anything. She probably would have just thought it was a crazy coincidence.

All I can say is, poor Kurt. Imagining him walking around with a hat that says "Big Dude" had me laughing so hard!!ReplyDelete

This one had me in tears! I love the "flower on the vine" comment. Too funny!! I was just as much of an idiot because I was reading it to Carlos (with my commentary) and said, "why wouldn't she know they weren't a family?!" Carlos said, "the boys are not white...." Duh!ReplyDelete
Maybe Kurt just needs a shirt that says "I'm their dad!"ReplyDelete
loved this one!It made me realise that there are new challenges every day as the kids grow up. Clearly there is a whole new dimension to travelling with adopted kids. We haven't yet - only when Leah was a baby and short of suspicions of child traficking it was pretty uneventful...ReplyDelete

We were walking thru the airport yesterday and the boys were sprinting on ahead -- I saw a bunch of people looking around with that look on their face... "where are their parents?" Of course, we were probably looking like we had no idea who those poorly behaved children were...!! Brenda B.ReplyDelete

Big Ten Team Capsules
Star of the Class: Bolingbrook (Ill.) quarterback Aaron Bailey, a four-star prospect, held several major offers both as a quarterback and athlete. Getting him to stay in-state was big for a number of reasons. His run-pass ability fits the Illini system.
Instant Impact: Four JUCO guys will compete immediately. Wide receiver Martize Barr fills a big need. We are also high on defensive tackle Abens Cajuste as a potential early contributor.
One That Got Away: Highly regarded safety Josh Jones flipped to North Carolina State.
Overview: This class has some talented sleepers who could make or break the class. Miguel Hermosillo is great in space and can catch the ball. Tyler White is a 6'6 kid who ran track. The Illini also went down to Florida and pulled a few kids out including Paul James, who had several major offers. Also watch out for defensive tackle Bryce Douglas, who got slept on throughout the process. Secondary help was needed and they got it with speedy Darius Mosely, Dillan Cazley, Caleb Day and Jaylen Dunlap, a long corner from Crete-Monee (Ill.) who had a big senior year along with a couple of JUCO guys.
Star of the Class: Four-star safety Antonio Allen gets the nod in a class with several four-star defenders. That's because he was the first of the three to flip, starting the stay-at-home revolution that happened in the state of Indiana this year.
Instant Impact: JUCO defensive tackle Jordan Heiderman is already on campus and should be in the rotation.
One that Got Away: For a time, four-star DE Elijah Daniel seemed to have serious interest in the Hoosiers, but ended up committing to Mississippi.
Overview: Allen, along with defensive linemen Darius Latham and David Kenney lead the way in this strong defensive class. We think the two tight ends, Danny Friend and Evan Jansen will be contributors, with Friend potentially transitioning to offensive line ala Jason Spriggs a year ago. Chase Dutra is a fast, physical safety prospect, and cornerback Rashad Fant was a big pull out of Georgia.
Star of the Class: The Hawkeyes kept one of the top prospects in their home state at home with Dowling High tight end Jon Wisnieski. There's a great tradition of tight ends here and the athletic 6'5 prospect has a chance to be the next.
Instant Impact: Running back Leshun Daniels is big, physical, and an Iowa style back who should see some carries come his way next year.
One that Got Away: Four-star safety Delano Hill flipped to Michigan in the Winter after the Wolverines offered.
Overview: The secondary got a boost here as we think Solomon Warfield is an impact guy, Malik Rucker has the versatility to play corner or safety, and Desmond King, who had over 20 interceptions in his high school career. Two tough, smashmouth style interior offensive linemen, Sean Welsh and Colin Goebel, appear to be future contributors, and linebacker John Kenny has a nose for the football and can play in space. He's joined by Reggie Spearman, a Chicago Simeon product who flipped from Indiana to Illinois and then to Iowa.
Star of the Class: Warren De La Salle (Mich.) quarterback Shane Morris has been committed for nearly two years. He's already a recognizable figure in Ann Arbor. He's not likely to play early with Devin Gardner there, but is the likely future starer.
Instant Impact: The nation's top running back Derrick Green has the size and physical running style to step in and help the Wolverines immediately, particulary with Fitzgerald Toussaint's injury.
One that Got Away: The Wolverines once lead for five-star WR Laquon Treadwell, who visited several times, but he ended up committing to Mississippi.
Overview: Five-star safety Dymonte Thomas comes up from Ohio and has speed and an aggressive style. Green has the headlines, but DeVeon Smith and Wyatt Shallman bring even more size and talent to the backfield. Smith is a tough runner with great balance. The offensive line class is a great one, and five-star center Patrick Kugler may push for immediate time. The secondary got fortified with playmaking corners Jourdan Lewis and Reon Dawson and some size in 6'2 Reon Dawson, 6'1 Delano Hill and 6'1 Channing Stribling. Sleeper? Athletic 6'2 receiver Da'Mario Jones.
Star of the Class: QB Damion Terry had a huge senior year. He has size, athleticism and a good arm. He may need a year or two but he has talent to be a multi-year starter in East Lansing and potentially a next level guy.
Instant Impact: Leveon Bell's early entrance into the NFL Draft and Larry Caper's graduation leaves the Spartans two bigger backs down. Hence 6'1, 195-lb Gerald Holmes should have a chance for carries next season.
One that Got Away: The Spartans needed a defensive tackle in the class and were in it to the end for four-star Josh Augusta, who ended up at Missouri.
Overview: Linebackers Jon Reschke and Shane Jones are both Scout300 guys from great high school programs and had productive careers. Four-star offensive tackle Dennis Finley may not be an immediate guy, but we love his talent at 6'7, 290-lbs with great feet. Running back R.J. Shelton is quick, elusive and catches the ball well. Safety Jalyn Powell is fast, aggressive and physical. Watch out for defensive tackle James Bodanis, a 6'6, 303-lb Canadian who may help off the bat. Defensive end Demetrius Cooper is speedy, agile, and one of the best pure pass rushers in the Midwest. Wide receiver Trey Kilgore comes from a great program and is one of the sleepers of the class.
Star of the Class: Running back Berkley Edwards has NFL bloodlines and chose the Gophers over offers from Iowa, Cal and others. He's a track kid who works hard in the weight room and was a big pickup.
Instant Impact: The Gophers graduate two linebackers, so JUCO linebacker Damien Wilson and his 6'2, 230-lb frame may be able to see some time off the bat.
One that Got Away: Keelon Brookins was one of the first commits in this class for the Gophers, but he decommitted for Wisconsin.
Overview: The first commit of the class is one of the best as Alex Mayes comes up from Texas and has the look of a future starter for the Gophers. 6'9 tight end Nate Wozniak, who had offers from Miami (Fla.) and Purdue, may end up on the offensive line as well. Wide receiver De'Niro Laster has good size and ball skills. We think, on the defensive side, defensive end Owen Salzwedel and linebacker Chris Wipson were steals. JUCO help is on the way. Defensive tackle Jordan Hinojosa and outside linebacker De'Vondre Campbell may be able to play immediately.
Star of the Class: JUCO offensive tackle Matt Finnin, a four-star prospect, is 6'8, 305-lbs and could be a next level guy. He spurned a late Ohio State offer and stuck to his commitment. He should compete for a starting spot off the bat.
Instant Impact: JUCO defensive end Randy Gregory is a sack specialist who should bring immediate impact as a guy who can put pressure on the quarterback.
One that Got Away: Four-star safety Marcus McWilson decommitted and committed to Kentucky, following assistant Vince Morrow.
Overview: A very strong overall class for the Huskers. California running back Terrell Newby could be a future star. Along with Gregory, defensive tackle Maliek Collins and defensive end A.J. Natter are highly regarded. Watch out for 6'8 Canadian import David Knevel, an athletic offensive tackle. 6'6 offensive lineman Dwayne Johnson from Texas committed just before Signing Day. Josh Banderas, a four-star linebacker from right there in Lincoln chose to stay close to home, where another Californian, Johnny Stanton is the quarterback of the future for the Huskers. The sleeper of the class may be tight end Greg Hart.
Star of the Class: Quarterback Matt Alviti had a great high school career. He's mobile, smart, accurate and fits the Wildcat system very well.
Instant Impact: We're high on safety Godwin Igwebuike, so much so, that we think he can push for time in the secondary right away.
One that Got Away: The Wildcats were the first school to offer in-state four-star offensive tackle Colin McGovern, who visited Evanston early on, but ended up choosing Notre Dame.
Overview: Alviti and Igwebuike will get their share of the headlines, but running back Keith Watkins, who may also play corner, had an oustanding career at Moeller and is another impact guy. The offensive line should be in good hands with 6'7 Sam Coverdale, Blake King, Brad North, and potentially Tyler Lancaster, a highly rated offensive lineman who may end up on defense. Some sleepers in the class include Tommy Fuessel, a high school quarterback who will play receiver and has 4.3 speed, and Cleveland based cornerback Marcus McShepard.
Star of the Class: Lot of potential stars in this class, but Jalin Marshall, with his speed, elusiveness and playmaking ability has a chance to be a big time guy in Urban Meyer's offense.
Instant Impact: There is a chance for a cornerback to come in and get some time, and with his size and ability, Eli Apple has a chance to be that guy.
One that Got Away: Ohio State made it right to the end for five-star wide receiver James Quick, who chose to stick close to home and chose Louisville.
Overview: On offense, running backs Dontre Wilson, Ezekiel Elliott and tight end Marcus Baugh are big time athletes and playmakers. Wilson and Elliott have great open field ability as well as the receiving skills to play in Coach Meyer's offense. Baugh is a big, athletic tight end who is looming matchup problem for Buckeye opponents. JUCO receiver Corey Smith should help right away. The offensive line class wasn't a big one, but tackle Evan Lisle is a good bet as a future starter. Quarterback J.T. Barrett has the athletic gifts to run Urban Meyer's offense. On defense, five-star safety Vonn Bell pushed the class to #1 overall. The Buckeyes flipped Gareon Conley from Michigan. He, along with Apple, Cameron Burrows and two four-star safeties Jayme Thompson and Darron Lee give the Buckeyes a great secondary haul. Two five-star prospects, defensive end Joey Bosa and speedy linebacker Mike Mitchell, who has 4.39 speed, round out an outstanding class.
Star of the Class: Five-star quarterback Christian Hackenberg is the nation's number two signal caller and has the size and arm you like. Now he gets to learn from Bill O'Brien.
Instant Impact: There is open competition at quarterback, and JUCO product Tyler Ferguson's experience gives him a chance to win it.
One that Got Away: Four-star offensive tackle Dorian Johnson, an in-state guy, switched to Pittsburgh.
Overview: Five-star tight end Adam Breneman is one of the nation's best, but got hurt and missed all of his senior year. Provided he's fully healthy, he should make a big impact. There is talent coming in on the front seven again. Defensive end Garrett Sickels and linebacker Zayd Issah are four-star guys. Watch out for 6'5 defensive ends Curtis Cothran and Parker Cothren as well. Other than Breneman, Hackenberg will have more targets to throw to, including Virginia product DaeSean Hamilton. One sleeper to look for is Florida defensive back Neiko Robinson, who has good ball skills and could be a fine free safety.
Star of the Class: The Boilermakers have had some good quarterbacks come through, and Danny Etling has the size, arm talent, and smarts to be the next one.
Instant Impact: Akeem Shavers graduates, and while backs with experience return, Georgia product Keyante Green has the speed and 195-lb frame to log some time off the bat.
One that Got Away: JUCO defensive end Randy Gregory had been committed to Purdue since he came out of high school. He again committed as a JUCO prospect, but switched to Nebraska in the fall.
Overview: The Boilers have always been strong on the defensive line and this class continues that. Two big Midwestern tackles, Antoine Miles and Johnny Daniels are joined by defensive ends Danny Ezechukwu, Jake Replogle, Johnny Thompson and Evan Panfil, a one time Illinois commit who switched over. Four star running back Dalyn Dawkins committed just before Signing Day. He's fast, has great balance and comes from a top program. Backfield mate David Yancey is quick and his versatility makes him a good fit for the offense. Both may see slot time as the running back position is looking crowded with Keith Byars II and Keyante Green also coming in. Watch out for Dan Monteroso, a 6'3 wide receiver who switched from Boston College.
Star of the Class: Running the ball is the name of the game in Wisconsin and four-star Corey Clement, a smart, instinctive runner who runs hard, is the next guy in a line of great backs that have come through Madison.
Instant Impact: 6'6 JUCO quarterback Tanner McEvoy will have an opportunity to immediately compete for the starting job with Joel Stave, Bart Houston and Danny O'Brien.
One that Got Away: One of the nation's top ten safeties, Tyler Foreman, a California native, decommitted and chose UCLA.
Overview: New head coach Gary Andersen did a good job of keeping most of the previously committed guys on board while adding others. Badger fans shouldn't worry that he'll stray from the formula that's worked. Big offensive line? 6'7 Jack Keeler, 6'6 Hayden Biegel, 6'5 Matt Miller. Check. Power running game? Clement, and 6'2, 215-lb Austin Ramesh, check. They also have a four-star receiver in Rob Wheelwright coming in. Defense wasn't ignored either. Brookfield bookends Chikwe Obasih and Alec James can put heat on the quarterback and we like hard hitting linebacker Garret Dooley. There are usually some sleepers that perform above expectations for Wisconsin too. We like safety Matt Hubley, who may grow into a linebacker, and 6'4 outside linebacker Leon Jacobs.

Arsenal Ladies sealed a domestic double after defeating Birmingham City Ladies 1-0 in Wednesday's Continental Cup final at Underhill. After the game, a number of Laura Harvey's players spoke to Arsenal.com.
Kim Little
We've gone unbeaten in the league and were really disappointed not to get to the FA Cup final. To win this makes up for that and we've won another double. We're really pleased to have done it.
I think both as a team and personally, improvements can still be made. It was good to dominate the game today and win, but I think as a team we can definitely progress.
I'm normally right footed but I like to use my left occasionally. It's great to score the winning goal in a cup final and for us to win was fantastic.
Every season our aim is to win everything. That's why we're at a club like Arsenal. The next step for us is the Champions League and we want to be successful in that while keeping up our domestic stance up. We've won the league for the last nine years and we want to keep that up, and continue to be successful in the cups.
Jordan Nobbs
It was frustrating not to be involved. Everyone wants to be a part of it, but for the girls to go out there and put on the performance they did to help us retain the trophy we won last year is excellent.
Some games aren't always so pretty. I'm sure tonight wasn't the best we've ever played but we dug in and got the goal we needed.
I had total faith in all the girls today. We're a team and I'm really proud of the girls. I'm really happy for Kim as well because she scored a great goal.
Danielle Carter
I'm really glad to win it again, for the second year in a row. We've happy to have done the double.
We've been really strong, and we're still in the Champions League so we have that look to forward to now.
Finishing the season unbeaten was massive. It's incredible to go unbeaten. I'm still young so hopefully there will be many more seasons where I can be a part of a team that achieves that.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Hi all...I'm new to posting to this site so I hope I'm posting in the correct place.
I'm a long time admirer of this website but I've finally begun my project to make up an ESB Boba Fett costume. My cousin decided to help me jump-start the project by getting me a rough resin casting. I know he meant well, but it's a bit on the wavy side... Also, when he urged me to try it on it did not fit. I can't squeeze my coconut into this thing. He tried contacting the seller and he wouldn't take it back...despite the fact it has a 4" crack. The seller recommended letting the helmet sit in hot water and to try "forming" it until it fit. Also saying that "once the hole for the visor is cut, it should fit. This wasn't true...
Anyways, I digress...
Has anyone else had an issue with sizing ? Are most helmets the same size ? If they are, I might want to consider going with a Vader, Bossk, or Stormtrooper project. Although, my heart is set on an ESB Boba Fett since he's my all time favorite.
I figure as a worse case scenario, I can paint it up for an awesome decorative piece.
Any ideas/advice ?
Thanks ! ! !

Why Your Grandparents Could be Your Meal Ticket to College
Mark Kantrowitz
April 21, 2009
There are many ways in which grandparents can help their grandchildren pay for a college education. These include legacy scholarships and tuition assistance programs, educational awards for volunteering and community service, college savings plans and direct gifts.
Scholarships for Grandchildren
Very few scholarships are based on a grandparent's affiliations. There are many more awards based on a parent's affiliations. However, sometimes awards that are available to a parent's dependents may also be available to grandchildren. Grandparents may have more relevant affiliations than the grandchild's parents. (On the other hand, there are also a few awards, like the Rotarian scholarships, which are not available to students who have a close relative, including a grandparent, who is a Rotarian.)
You can help your grandchildren find scholarships based on your affiliations by giving them a resume that summarizes all of your affiliations, including past and present employers, unions, military service, memberships, hobbies and activities, in addition to details concerning religion, race and ethnicity. Not only will you be helping your grandchildren find scholarships that match their background, but you will be giving them an opportunity to learn more about you and your family history.
Grandparents can also spend time with their grandchildren to help them study and get good grades or participate in volunteer activities together. This can help them qualify for more awards.
The best way to find scholarships for grandchildren is to use FastWeb's free scholarship matching service. When completing the profile on FastWeb or any other scholarship database, your grandchildren should carefully review the questions that ask about a parent's employers and affiliations, as some of these also apply to grandparents. Students who answer all the optional questions will typically get twice as many matches as students who answer only the required questions.
The three main types of scholarships that may depend on a grandparent's affiliations include legacy scholarships for grandchildren of a college's alumni, scholarships for military service by a grandparent, and scholarships based on ancestry and ethnicity.
1. Legacy Scholarships.
Several colleges provide assistance to "legacies", which are descendents of alumni. While this is most often expressed through admissions preferences, there are a few that have scholarship funds for grandchildren of alumni. For example, the "Grandma Scholarship" at Hood College lets incoming freshmen pay the same first-year tuition rate as their alumnus grandparent. Other scholarships for grandchildren include the alumni heritage scholarship and the alumni scholar award at the University of Alabama, Augustus Ward Young and Ruth Agenes Young Scholarships at the University of Maine at Machias for students whose grandparents or great-grandparents were members of Eastern Star, a scholarship for grandchildren and great grandchildren of full-time faculty (past or present) sponsored by the San Diego State University Retirement Association, a scholarship for grandchildren of alumni at Texas State University San Marco, a scholarship for children, grandchildren and great grandchildren of alumni at the University of New Hampshire, and a scholarship for grandchildren of alumni sponsored by the University of Pittsburgh Alumni Association. Some colleges also have scholarship funds restricted to students with particular last names, such as Zolp and Scarpinato. (See FinAid's list of unusual scholarships for these and other name-focused scholarships.)
Need Money to Pay for College?
Every semester, Fastweb helps thousands of students pay for school by matching them to scholarships, grants, and internships, for which they actually qualify. You'll find scholarships like the Course Hero's $5,000 Scholarship, and easy to enter scholarships like Niche $2,000 No Essay Scholarship, and internships with companies like Apple, Google, Dreamworks, and even NASA!
Join today to get matched to scholarships or internships for you!

Tactical Combat Casualty Care
Well I just recently returned from the Joint Special Operations Medical Training Course and School to re-certify and get some of the latest info on any changes and where we are at in the field. Obviously to be a tactical athlete it is allot more than training for triathlons and carrying and M-4 and the real difference is the tactics. Medical skill is a huge combat multiplier and when it really hits the fan it is nice to have some basic skills to save some lives. I did not intend this to be an exhaustive medical training guide but instead a very basic review that can be used with additional more detailed installments included later. This is definitely a work in progress and with feed back and questions I would like to create a great discussion to help the guys who don't have training otherwise. So please leave any comments and questions I think this could turn into something really helpful.

UC Davis Kidney and Pancreas Transplant Program
While innovation and experience distinguish the UC Davis Kidney and Pancreas Transplant Program and its professional team, the benefit to you is best represented by our consistently high ratings in patient satisfaction and patient outcomes. In other words, our transplant recipients are literally living proof of the commitment to excellence exemplified throughout UC Davis Health.
The UC Davis Transplant Program's reputation includes that of being a professional trendsetter. In 1997, the surgical team became the first program west of the Mississippi to perform the laparoscopic donor nephrectomy procedure. The program also led the way in pancreas transplantation, performing the first transplant at UC Davis in 1993.
In recent years, the living donor transplant program has advanced therapies in desensitization and paired-donor exchange to make it possible to transplant kidneys from living donors who previously would have been incompatible. By making living donor transplants possible, our team not only helps the recipients of those organs, but also the patients behind them on the waiting list.
Whatever the next major innovations in transplantation will be, UC Davis is positioned to remain at the forefront, offering our patients leading-edge treatments and individual compassion and attention.
We thank you for your interest in the UC Davis Transplant Center. If you have any questions about our program, please contact us at 916-734-2111.

Our Mission
The Humane Society of Sedona is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of pets in our community and beyond. The Society has served the Verde Valley since 1966.
The Linda and Allan Brecher Center for Animals at the society is designed to allow every person, who desires the love of a pet, to adopt and provide a forever loving home. The Center provides quality care and positive reinforcement behavior training for adoptable pets. Passionate volunteers help walk and socialize the pets in our care. Foster pet parents are an important part of caring for pets outside the Center.
The Society provides vital services for pets and people alike through income-based affordable spay/neuter surgeries and vaccination clinics. Also, for families in need to feed their pets, we have a Pet Food Program.
Another public resource is our adult and youth educational programs.
The Society relies on community support, contributions, grants, bequests, investments, proceeds from the Society's thrift stores and some fees for service in order to save pets' lives.
In order to find the best possible home for these companion animals everyone must go through the same adoption process. The Humane Society has established certain guidelines which were developed for the well-being of the animal and its guardian.
1. The adoption counselor interviews all potential adopters.
2. Individuals are given a chance to interact with the animals.
3. Once an animal is selected, an adoption application must be completed and processed. All landlords will be called for verification of "Pets Allowed".
4. Adoption Contract is completed when the animal is picked up.
Our adoption fees are $70 per cat, $30 for cats 7 years or older and $120.00 for kittens. $100 per dog, $40 for dogs 7 years or older and $120 for puppies. All pets are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, de-wormed, microchipped and come with a collar and ID tag. All cats are FeLV and FIV tested.
VIP cats and dogs have an adoption fee of $125. VIPs are highly desirable breeds/mixes/designer mixed breeds. Higher adoption fees for VIPs help fund the care of all pets.
The Humane Society of Sedona is proud to launch it's Seniors for Seniors Program. The program places senior cats and dogs (over 7 years of age) with senior citizens who are over 60 years of age, so both the pet owner and the pet can enjoy their golden years together, in a shared comradery. For more information about this program please contact us at 928-282-4679
Thank You!
Your message has been sent to Humane Society of Sedona.
You'll receive a copy, too, at to help you keep track of which pets you've inquired about, and which shelters and rescues you've emailed.
NOTE: Some shelters have physical locations you can visit; some of these shelters may only have pets for a limited time, so please do not wait for a reply—just go visit the shelter! Other organizations are rescue groups run by busy volunteers who may take a while to reply. You can find information about the shelter or rescue group caring for this pet, and their adoption procedures, on the pet's details page on Adopt-a-Pet.com.

They say we live in a bubble. What many people fail to realize is that the bubble in question looks like and feels like against light bulb. In that giant light bulb we humans continue to lose touch with anything beyond our own urban cityscape. Now with half of the worlds population living in urban centers people continue to lose their connection to the heavens and stars.
The City Dark (playing at the 2012 San Francisco Green Film Festival) addresses the questions surrounding the problem of light pollution in our society. Writer/director Ian Cheney takes a journey from his rural upbringing in Maine to New York City and examines how modern society continues to place an emphasis on "Bright Lights, Big City" mentality while ignoring the light pollution impact on people, animals, and the environment.
Cheney creates stirring night light images and adds flavorful animation as well as a rhythmic soundtrack to create cohesion in the dark. He brings up many well researched points including the possible effects of cancer rates and night shift workers exposed to lights, as well as the harmful effects that light pollution has on turtle migration and bird flight patterns.
Like a bird that runs smack into an over lit skyscraper, The City Dark contains some abrupt transitions such as the section involving a cancer patient who hosted a late night TV show for many years.
Although interesting and informative the film could have created more of a "call to action" for people wishing to further explore the possibilities of change. Even so, Cheney exemplifies his passion for demonstrating how the pollution in our cities is not relegated to the land and waterways. Look up.

Actually it's not 'small cell' we should aim for, but natural cell. Bees build all different sizes of cells for brood, honey, pollen stores, etc. We should let them build their own houses, nevermind trying to give them fully furnished condos - who's to say they like the decor? :-P
I find that I don't know anything about those little flying monsters that I keep in boxes. But I do know that I put starter strips in every box and there were HUGE cells full of honey at the top of the hive and smaller toward the bottom.
Seems like they can manage on their own pretty well. I'm guess not really sure what regression means. If using natural cell won't the queen be laying in larger, honey cells early in spring (like mine is)?
Wouldn't that make it impossible to standardize bee size?
I'm a second season beekeeper so there's a lot I don't know. But I have to assume that worker bees of the same hive come in different sizes under normal circumstances. Maybe even tending toward smaller workers in the fall as honey cells are filled at the top.

There is no fixed salary amount but expect a range between 1000- 2000$ per month for a full time teacher. That may sound a bit hefty, but for the cost of living in Vietnam, the amount can get you a beautiful rented apartment with plenty of budget for food and saving. A part time teacher may be paid 18- 25$/ hour of teaching or a bit more depends on location he/she travels to and teach. Salary also depends on qualification and experience that I mentioned aboved.

As an online only retailer, shipping is mandatory when purchasing tires through Tire Rack. Therefore, the true cost of the tire can't be known until shipping has been factored in. For this page we have calculated shipping using Tire Rack's own shipping calculator. We've taken the total cost of delivering a set of four (4) of those tires to our Springfield location's zip code (19018), dividing that number by four, and adding it to the cost of the tire.

Virginia Voters Make Final Preparations for Election Day
"People are calling to make sure they're registered and where they do go to vote," says Barbara Bosserman, the Clarke County Voter Registrar.
Registrars are reminding voters of the must haves to cast a ballot. Unlike some states, photos ID's are not required in
"It's a list of valid forms of ID," Bosserman says. "It can be your driver's license, your voter registration card, a social security card. It's just a number of things that you can bring that is a valid ID."
Although many will be rallying through the final hours for their candidates, campaigning will not be allowed inside the precincts.
"Campaigning is prohibited within 40 feet of the entrance to the polling place," says Bosserman. "And, that is for handing out literature, approaching a voter. You cannot hinder or delay a voter within that 40 foot perimeter outside of the polling place entrance."
Different from other states,
"Expect to be ready to vote when you get there," Bosserman says. "Know who's on the ballot. Know that there are two proposed constitutional amendments on the ballot. Have your identification ready and you'll have a smooth voting day."
The polls will be open from to in

This week I have been travelling to see Forrester's I&O Leadership Board (FLB) members in Paris and working on my I&O FLB workshop session for Orlando and London happening in October, titled 'An Outside In Approach To Your IT Strategy'. During my conversations I have been discussing Forrester's excellent new book entitled 'Outside In, The Power of Putting Customers At The Center Of Your Business'. It contains great insight and examples on how successful companies are adapting to the "age of the customer" by ensuring experience rich relationships.
So what does 'putting the customers at the center of your business' mean to I&O Professionals?
Firstly, we need to ditch the word 'users'. It's a dirty word in my vocabulary as it conjures up images of employees being 'addicted' to our IT services. Our employees are not going to go 'cold turkey' on us if they don't get their corporate IT fix. They are our internal IT customers who have feelings, needs and wants plus are increasingly able to source their own technology services to increase their productivity.

Keep trying to go as much as you can and do what makes you happy on the mountain.
Now I'm lucky enough to have a job, that I can come and go whenever I like and typically get 20 (powder) days a year in. I ride with guys that we've been riding together for 27 years. The best day this year was just three weeks ago, when my buddy that I started riding with in '85 went up to Stevens after a fresh 11" dump, just like the old days, absolute blast.
Get up there when you can and enjoy, I feel most kids today wont be snowboarding 10 years from now, simply because they're into because it's cool/trendy. Back in the day. you would NEVER have heard anyone say "I used to snowboard", I see more snowboards crammed in the back of garages , that have maybe 1 season on them. These guys bitching about people only getting 20 or less days will more then likely join the "I used to snowboard" crowd.
if you are a dedicated weekend warrior you can get over 50 days just by riding weekends if you ride where there is a typical mountain snow season. 100 is averaging 4 days a week which isnt all that physically demanding IMO. But they key is having a flexible/no job during the winter and keeping the stoke alive to get you there the next day.
I work a respectable, kinda seasonal job, live in a city and get to ride 100+ days. best of both worlds.
|I only got 8 days in this season....they were o.k., but nothing like the consistent 2'+ dumps we had two years ago (where I got 20+ days). It's looking like the sierra nevada is only epic on "el nino" years - other than that, it's not much better than the east coast (excluding sun)

I started boarding in 1987 and I know some of the seasons between then and now only had 4-5 days. On those days (actually every day on the mountain is the same for me in this regard), I would be waiting in line at the lift for it to open and speed down the hill at 3:55 to get one more run. I would ride straight through and only take 15 minutes for lunch because I wanted to get as much time on the mountain as possible. I didn't progress much those years, but I sure had fun with the available time. Looking back, some of my favorite days were in those years because it was so important just to be able to go.
I got 43 days this year (14 in Colorado) and I'm over the moon happy about how much riding I got to do. I just never thought of myself as a poser in the years I was only able to ride 4-5 times. Any insight is appreciated.

Everyone gets powder fever. Powder good... My group of 8-12 are always first gondola. We get lots of fresh lines and we are all pretty fast in all terrain. Such a good time charging and there are never really friends on pow days, people stay outta the way cause we are coming...
Yeah, I do nursing. I work evenings in the winter time. I'm right at 150 days since October. My son is between 185-190 somewhere.
It is very tolling on your body. It's more so because I ride all day and then have to fix all the broke people all night 3-11. The powder days from mid Jan on where killer on the legs. When I don't ride for a few days my joints hurt and muscles get real stiff. I'm trying to hike up vail or ride abasin a few times a week now until the mtn biking and hiking trails are open. Gonna go to Moab next weekend for 5 days for some biking and hiking.....

I am a final year International Communications student with the intention of doing a 4 week CELTA or TRINITY course this summer so that i can tefl in Spain come September. I am bilingual (English being slightly stronger than my Spanish) and i am a Spanish national, although i have lived in England since the age of 5. I have been educated in England but maintained my Spanish by speaking it at home.
My main concern is that i will find it difficult to find a tefl job in Spain because i am technically not an English native. (Although my English is perfect both oral/written). Do you think this will be the case? Also, if i did my CELTA/Trinity course in july for example... would this give me enough time to find a tefl job in spain for September when school starts?
I would really appreciate all the advice you could offer me regarding tefl in Spain, including any recommendations of course providers, whether to do the tefl course in the UK or abroad, etc.
Look forward to hearing from you.

one of my immediate warpos that I couldn't take apart after gluing. frames won't set on the frame rest
WD, I've heard a similar question but the flip side................."you're going to use glue AND nails! You don't really need the nails!"
I only use Glues that are FDA aproved for indirect food contact. Tight bond II is gorilla glue is not but I don't think it will hurt. also price wise Gorilla is to costly. Tight bond II works great in water after its dry I made cutting boards with it that have been through the dish washer hundreds of times.

In particular, I appreciate the fact that she uses programs and performances from generally less know skaters (Zaggy!) to supplement her argument. I'm sure other posters have read Culture On Ice as well, what did you think of it? What are some of your favorite books about figure skating?

I bet that there is a ring of broken-off cartridge case, or of some other foreign material, in the front end of your pistol's chamber.
Take the gun completely apart and, using a light, carefully examine the chamber from front to back.
Next, with the barrel still out of the gun and completely separate from it, and pointing muzzle down, try to drop a factory-loaded round into the chamber.
If this round doesn't fully enter the chamber of its own weight, there is something seriously wrong with the barrel.
If that trial round does fully enter the chamber of its own weight, check the slide's breech-face, and also under the extractor hook, for well-attached crud that can be scraped off (or out).
If none of that works, see a gunsmith. If I had your pistol in my hands, I could decode your problem in a couple of minutes, but such is not the case. A real gunsmith will be able to find the problem pretty quickly.
Supplementary Thoughts:
Could your gun somehow be chambered for the .45 GAP cartridge? Check the barrel and slide for markings. The .45 GAP is just a little bit shorter than the .45 ACP.
Did you have any trouble at all, chambering your first batch of Golden Saber cartridges? Did any of them eject sluggishly, or make a "funny noise"? Maybe that was the point when something broke off in the chamber.

The New York Times story which claims Pakistan's secret service group, the Inter-Services Intelligence, was behind recent bombings in Kabul of the Indian embassy, has aroused a storm of conflict not only between the United States and Pakistan but between Pakistan and India. The American newspaper report says US officials intercepted communications between the ISI and those involved in terrorist activities. If true, this would confirm India's charges the Directorate of Inter Services Intelligence(ISI) masterminded the ghastly attack on the Indian mission in Kabul that killed four Indians, including two diplomats. Pakistan has vigorously denied the validity of the New York Times story. Foreign Minister spokesperson, Mohammad Sadiq insisted "the report is not factual and utterly misleading and it holds no credence."
Indian official made clear the recent spate of attacks in their cities is having an impact on recent efforts between India and Pakistan to resolve their differences, particularly in the Kashmir area. There are now reports Pakistan troops have violated the Kashmir area which might result in escalation of violence.
At some point, one must step back and review the entire situation in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and India. There was a moment in 2001 when peace could have been obtained in Afghanistan if President Bush had not withdrawn US troops from completing the destruction of the Taliban because of his madness in deciding to invade Iraq. An opportunity was lost, and the result is tension, conflict, and violence on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border which undoubtedly is being assisted by the ISI which apparently does not grasp it should be acting like the CSI and ending crime.

Reviewing for Quizzes and Doing Homeworks
I have a six-year old boy who's now on his first grade in school. I never had any problems when it comes to waking up in the morning to go to school. The challenge starts when he gets home and needs to review his lessons or need to finish his home works. He would usually say "I'm tired" (even if he already took a rest) or "I don't know how...". Any suggestions on how to make it easier for us to attend to his take home assignment?

Most children are thoroughly exhausted once they get home from school. The only thing on their minds is play time and eating and relaxing. It's like going to work all day then coming home and realizing you have more work to do at home. It's a very frustrating cycle that the schools start when handing out homework.
I personally would encourage a longer play time as soon as he gets home...allow him to have free time for an hour or more. Then when he is settled, sit down with him and actually help him complete his assignments. Make it fun, get involved with him, help him look up the answer. Be his mentor, his confidant a person he can trust that will always have his back.
If you feel that the teacher is sending home to much work then have a chat with her about it. Most times they don't realize the amount of work is overwhelming and unnecessary.
Team up with your child and let him know you believe in him and he can get this done with your love and support.

isn't it always a roll of the dice with them
Let me start by saying the reason I ordered from them is they were the only ones that had BOTH parts I needed. Anyway, I got my parts in after the obligatory long Sarco wait, and damn if they werent fubar. MN bolt body was cracked, and MN trigger guard was bent and dented beyond fixing. I know these are surplus and used, but these defects are really obvious. So I sent them back today, we shall see what jewells they send me in return.
Clan MacPherson
isn't it always a roll of the dice with them
buying up all the guns and ammo i can just to PISS OFF the douche bag liberals
SARCO is like that on about everything.
have got some good deals on ar-15 things but have got stung a few times too.
sarco is sort of like the grab-bag deal at the county fair--
So far all I've bought from them have been barrels. They were all rusty but salvageable.
There have been a lot of items I've *tried* to buy from them via their web site or from their ads, but they weren't in stock. In some cases, they had been out of stock for years and they never expected any more, like those Star Supers they kept advertising, that they'd run out of in 2008...
there was a time when sarco was the place now its bait and switch, the last time I went up there, the original warehouse in NJ about 5-6 years ago they advertised thompson forearm retaining bars, so i drove up from my sons to buy it and walk around, the parts guy came out with three of them, they had all been torch cut in half, he had the nerve to tell me i could weld them back up
why do folks still persist doing business with this outfit
Sprat and sprat1 are one and the same.
my batting avg with SARCO
RIA 1911 frame "good"
SARCO 1911 small parts "not so good"
sarco $59 a3 flat top upper "very good"
sarco $45 USGI surplus a2 upper "not so good"
sarco ar15/m16 small parts "excellent, to very poor" a grab bag for sure.
SARCO parts kits a dice roll at best.
just look at their 'bubbed up' m16 bolt carriers for a laugh-- what a waste of a scarce part--
Ive never had a problem with them, As a matter of fact some years back I was rebuilding a 1858 Remington New Army Black lowder Pistol, and I had ordered everything new except the frame the frame was near mint and was the rest of the gun that was an eyesore. so I get my parts and toss them on my desk and I have about 10 other packages I had to thru and get thigns set up for the show, well, by the time I got to the 58 Remingotn everything was there but the cylender, I called them and I was told it was on back order , I said ok it wil be a month or so,,finally 7months and 20 shows had went by and I forgot about the cylender, until it showed up in the mail and they gave me a 50.00 gift certifacate. There thompson kits were pretty dammed good, cuz back in the day I had purchased 4 right off the back I believer they were a 200 at the time.And boy has times changed we need to get back to those days!!!....Doc

a broken clock tells the correct time twice a day
Sprat and sprat1 are one and the same.
i still buy a few things from sarco's e-store--but i do so VERY carefully.
the do have good ar-15 charging handles , port doors and i like those split flash hider washers--
they had some nice deals on those a3 flat top stripped uppers before the panic too. SARCO ain't all bad --just half bad and you don't know which half you got till the mail arrives--LOL!
lots of places fall in that group of retailers i haven't got any 'dangerous" ar-15 parts from sarco yet -
-some of the uber low ball outfits "dumpster divers" i call them --sell things that could "end badly".
then again i haven bought critical things like bolt carriers or barrels from sarco.
i have bought a few uber cheap ar-15 things from SMG and so far so good , i have had terrible luck with other crap i bought from them in the past.
now days if you running an e-store it is just hard to get good firearms parts to sell.
they just ain't out there like they were in the good old days.
the bad thing about SARCO today is since the panic they have jumped the prices up quite a bit on thir some what "questionable" parts stock.
those no-name stripped ar-15 bolts they once sold for $28 are now $60?--LOL!
hell i bought a DPMS bolt complete the other day from JSE for $40 LOL!
My latest Sarco transaction was good. I bought an RPD drum and belt (brand new) a rpd recoil spring set (brand new) an UZI selector and some Mosin strippers. Shipped the next day. Cant complain this time. Sprat, that clock reference is too funny.
