April 15th: Leaky Load and Grass Seed Straw Overheight Permits available on Trucking Online
October 16th: New Driver Requirements for Superloads
June 24th: Loads Over 12' Wide Traveling Through Sisters
April 14th: Specialized Hauling Vehicles Letter & Bridge Posting Requirements
April 8th: Faxed Permit Applications Discontinued
For information on how to order a superload permit or route request visit the Superloads page. You'll find information on:
Motor Carriers moving loads that exceed 8 feet 6 inches in width are required to obtain an Over-Dimension Permit. Motor carriers moving overwidth loads are subject to special requirements and responsibilities.
Motor carriers moving loads that exceed 14 feet in height are required to obtain an over-dimension permit. Motor carriers moving overheight loads are subject to special requirements and responsibilities. Chief among what's expected of them is that they not damage roads and bridges as they go from Point A to Point B. The Oregon DOT Motor Carrier Transportation Division (MCTD) has a process for ensuring that carriers understand their responsibility to protect the highway infrastructure. Carriers with Single Trip Over-Dimension Permits for loads over 14 feet 6 inches high must meet one of two requirements:
The declaration option is only available to motor carriers that have established accounts with MCTD. The declaration form must be signed by the individual owner, a partner, a corporate officer, a partner in a LLP, a manager/member of the LLC, or agent (Power of Attorney must be on file). The form enables a carrier to accept responsibility and liability for injury to persons or damage to property, highways, or highway structures resulting from moves under the permit, whether or not the movement occurs over routes suggested by MCTD. The carrier also accepts responsibility for determining adequate clearance, both vertical and horizontal, for moving oversize loads or vehicles in Oregon.
Declaration Form 735-9929 Filed in lieu of meeting the height pole requirement found on Attachment 75-A for Mobile Homes / Modular Units.
Declaration Form 735-9930 Filed in lieu of meeting the height pole requirement found on Attachment 82-A for Non-Divisible Loads.
Oregon uses tables to determine legal and permittable weights. Weight tables 1 and 2 are for legal axle weights hauling divisible loads, weight tables 3, 4 and 5 are for heavy haul/non-legal axle weights hauling a non-divisible load.
Carriers can use the Weight Tables to calculate their weight table or use our Online Weight Calculator.
Table 1 - Legal Weight - No Permit Required Maximum weight allowed - 600 pounds per inch of tire width, 20,000 pounds single axle, 34,000 pounds tandem, 80,000 pounds gross weight. Common vehicle types: solo truck, truck-tractor and semitrailer, truck and trailer, log truck and pole trailer.
The Oregon route maps accessible here are for reference only. Truckers who need safe routing instructions for over-dimension movements must contact the Motor Carrier Transportation Division in Salem at 503-373-0000. For up-to-the-minute information about road and bridge restrictions, as well as accidents and road closures, visit the TripCheck Web site.
Road and bridge restrictions, truck size and weight
Forest Service Road Permits: Commercial use of Forest Service roads in the Pacific Northwest Region is prohibited without authorization. Check an Oregon Forest Service Contact List for Overload Permits and Commercial Use Permits.
Motor Carriers moving oversize loads are subject to travel restrictions when road conditions are hazardous due to ice, snow, frost, when visibility is reduced to less than 500 feet, or when wind conditions exist that make it difficult for vehicles to safely move. These weather-related travel restrictions are prescribed in Permit Attachments that accompany all over-dimension permits issued, and in Oregon Administrative Rules. It is the driver's responsibility to determine if local road conditions are hazardous, unless the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) has closed or posted signs on the highway displaying restrictions due to weather/road conditions in the area. If ODOT has not closed a highway or posted a sign warning of adverse conditions and the driver chooses to travel they are subject to enforcement action if the road conditions are determined to be hazardous. In most cases, it's up to the State Police and local law enforcement to address on-highway situations. In addition, the responsible Motor Carrier is subject to civil monetary complaint on a first offense; and in the instance of repeated violations, is subject to additional sanctions including cancellation of permit and/or denial of future permit requests. The Motor Carrier Transportation Division (MCTD) may issue over-dimension permits during inclement weather; however authorized travel is contingent upon weather and road conditions at time of actual movement. MCTD's policy regarding the issuance of over-dimension permits and travel by permitted trucks during periods of inclement weather is described in a one-page document which was published in the March 2011 edition of the quarterly Motor Carrier Newsletter: Captain of Ship For Oregon Road and Weather advisories, drivers may call 1-800-977-6368 in state, and 1-503-588-2941 from out of state, or go to www.tripcheck.com

By Chris Harris
By the time Arsenal kick off on Saturday, they might need a win to regain top spot in the Premier League. That means beating the only team they haven't taken points off this season - Middlesbrough.
Gareth Southgate's side inflicted a shock 2-1 win at the Riverside in December and, lest we forget, they forced a draw at Emirates Stadium last season. Indeed, Arsenal haven't taken the lead against Boro since they crushed them 7-0 at Highbury more than two years ago.
Of course, much depends on which Boro side turns up in North London this weekend. Will it be the team which surrendered a golden opportunity to reach the FA Cup Final when they succumbed meekly to Cardiff? Or the side which bounced back in style with a highly-creditable draw at Aston Villa in midweek?
We asked Phillip Tallentire of the Middlesbrough Evening Gazette for his take on Boro's season ahead of Saturday's game. Read on for his views on the FA Cup fall-out, the loss of Jonathan Woodgate and Yakubu, Southgate's new signings and the impact of former Gunner Jeremie Aliadiere.
"I think it will be a relegation battle right to the end unfortunately. The result against Villa in midweek was crucial, not just because Boro earned a point, but more the performance. After the defeat to Cardiff in the Cup everyone was really down and the danger was that if they got turned over by Villa the confidence could be mortally wounded. As it stands now though, the good performance means they will go to the Emirates with added confidence. I don't think they will believe they can thump Arsenal but they got a draw there last season and a victory at the Riverside earlier this season.
"Long term the mood in the town will be that the Cup defeat equates to some previous exits - when they were beaten by Leyton Orient in the Sixth-Round in 1978 and then Wolves in 1981. Then people thought Boro would make the semis (it would have been the first time) but what makes this worse is the draw has opened up and also that it was a Wembley visit, whatever you think of that, the fans would have loved to go down for that. Everyone half hoped and prayed but Boro fans tend to assume the worse. I think we are past that though because we have been to European Finals and a Carling Cup final but unfortunately the curse struck again and it was an absolutely terrible performance and the fans were shattered by it. We have been inundated by the fans demanding justice. Although they will be delighted the team bounced back at Villa they will worry about the long term effects that it will have in the town, season ticket sales will be affected because it was a real case of a kick in the teeth when you are just 90 minutes from Wembley and 180 from a potential trophy."
"Luke Young has been terrific. He started quietly because he came to the club with an injury but has been the most consistent player since about September time and released some terrific balls from defence to attack at Villa. He was unlucky to be penalised at the end for a handball but for a couple of million quid he looks real good value - one of Southgate's better buys. Gary O'Neil hasn't been the player people expected to get and he hasn't hit the heights he did at Pompey. He is an honest player but just hasn't been able to score. Playing as an out and out wide man hasn't helped him, but there is no question about his work-rate. Elsewhere Tuncay has looked good in spells but not scored enough goals. Alfonso Alves too is a bit of a mystery. A club record £12.7 million, he has made six appearances and they haven't really found a role for him yet. They need to work hard over the summer and get a partnership going or gelling. Then of course Mido needs to start scoring after coming back from injury."
"In terms of Woodgate they have coped OK. He wasn't the same this season as he was last year. Last season people say, with a lot of justification, that if he hadn't been in, Middlesbrough might have gone down. He was the difference, keeping clean sheets and digging out results when they were needed. The defence has been fairly decent this season. David Wheater has been a good find which allowed Woodgate to go. Robert Huth, when he has played, has been impressive and likewise Emmanuel Pogatetz. They are a little bit short on the full back positions but as a unit they have done OK. What has put pressure on us is that Yakubu and Viduka's goals have not been replaced. Downing, with seven, is top scorer and none of the new guys have set the world alight with goals. Southgate wanted goals from across the midfield and perhaps double figures from his front men. They are one of the lowest scorers in the league and if they go a goal down they don't have the ability to score twice and win a match."
"Boro are getting quite a few players back. There were some long-term injuries. Andrew Taylor is still a couple of games away but Robert Huth came through Wednesday for his second game in four days and I expect him to line-up again. Alves missed Wednesday through illness but the hope is that he will at least make the bench on Saturday. We are kind of getting towards having a full strength side at Arsenal. That isn't a bad thing to say in March. I think the only place he may think to change from Wednesday is will be if Alves is fit, he might come in for Mido. Mido was no means disastrous at Villa but did miss a sitter with Boro 1-0 up. To his credit though he is showing the right sort of attitude and things do happen when he is about."
"Aliadiere is one of those players whose reputation is enhanced by the fact that he has been out for the last four games. I am almost certain he will play some part in proceedings in which case O'Neil might make way. His pace gives them an option they don't have elsewhere and he feels that he owes Arsenal a little bit and that he should show them a little bit of what they are missing. That could be interesting. He has been missed while he was suspended. He gives pace to a team that was a bit one-dimensional. He admitted that it took him a while to get used to playing week-in week-out because it had been so long since he had done. Come November we saw the benefit of that."

Is it possible it is too early in the season?malachii
First of all you have drone bees ??? BEE HAPPY Jim 134 :)
If you do not have drones flying yet,grafting queens is pointless as they will not get mated. Bees may choose not to raise queens if conditions are not right. No flow ,cold temps are conditions that bees do not want drones or raising queens.
are you putting the queen cups upside down in the hive after you grafted ??

hi folks.
I need a little advice and I am running out of time before the new term!
I'm very keen to teach English abroad, preferably South Korea but I don't have a degree.
I'm considering studying towards an online degree (AKA distance learning degree) but I'm unsure of how this qualification is viewed in other countries. Has anyone else got their qualification this way? I'm in the UK BTW.
Is it possible to secure a job with only a TEFL certificate? The benefit of an online degree is that I can start studying while working full-time, then if I manage to get a TEFL position, I can continue the degree in the country that hires me.
Alternatively, if my chances of a teaching position without a degree are too limited, I could just study at a regular institute
any thoughts on this? thank you

I would stay in the four to five inch range. This means a standard sidearm-sized handgun, which will be more pleasurable to shoot at the range, and will be slightly more accurate due to the longer sightline length.
There are a number of pistols that fit your requirement. Look at the standard-sized Glock 17, Springfield XD, S&W M&P, FN FN9, Ruger SR9, CZ 75 or 85, and a polymer Sig whose model number I can't remember. These are fairly close in price to each other. Slightly higher on the price scale are the H&K's, Sigs, and my personal favorite for range use, the Walther P99.
If you have small hands, then look at the compact versions of the Glock (model 19), XD, M&P, and P99. Any smaller than that and you are now looking at versions that are more useful as a concealed carry, and less of a range gun. Of course all of these can be used for home defense, but keep in mind that a larger handgun means more bullets, which is something nice to have if you ever have to defend your home.
Good luck on your evdeavor. I should warn you that getting into shooting is a slippery slope. By this time next year, no telling how many handguns you will have....

|Topic Review (Newest First)
The new compressor should come with some literature about how much oil should be added prior to running it. If not I would add at least a couple of ounces and add that amount to the total the system requires. The switch on the back of the R4 is a high pressure switch and since you are using the trinary switch from Vintage Air you can ignore it.
Air conditioning---Vintage Air with a R-4 compressor
Just put a serpintine system on my 59 using GM aluminum brackets.
The passenger side bracket is designed for an R-4 pancake compressor,
and I intend on getting a new one as soon as I finish getting the AC lines straightened out. I originally had a Sanden.
What should be my steps to properly get this system charged up??
New compressors are shipped without any oil in them and I am wondering
if I need to clean out the entire system and put in the necessary oil, or if just adding oil to the new compressor will be okay.
Also----on the 134 compressors, there is another switch on the back of the compressor.
Is this a hi-low switch??? and does it need to be wired in a series with the clutch??
Already have a trinary switch in the system, and if this is a hi-low switch, can it be bypassed, or should I use it??
The one I got from a junkyard---to get the hoses routing right---I cannot recall if it had an electric fan or not---was a 95 S-10 and I think those have mechanical fans. So I do not believe this is a fan switch.

for anyone who'd like some ideas on making their own..or simply just wanna peek 8)
for anyone who'd like some ideas on making their own..or simply just wanna peek 8)
Holy smokes, that looks great.
Got any direction on what you used ?
And what is you armor made of ?
This is excellent work, would love more information on how you did it.
heres the stuff i used for the jet pack:
the base is made of a piece of MDF,
looking at the photos as you can see i used various shaped containers to make a basic shape of things like the boosters and the rocket launcher (if your from england..the boosters are four pringle tubes and the launcher is some jackob nibbles hehehe) to strengthen the boosters i stuffed them with PVA glue and newspaper.
The rocket: looking at the photo of the rocket(pic 143) ill list the items starting from right to left
pepsi 2ltre bottle, another tube of nibbles, a mini chocolate egg tube (basicly any toilet roll) a container that was once an air freshoner, the top of a pepsi bottle (inbetween rocket and air freshner, the part you screw the cap on..adds a nice effect)
a plastic cup, a funnel with the tube cut off, and for the point on the rocket its the end of one of those acrylic glue guns
to attach all this i got a metal pipe and placed it down the pepsi bottle and glued it to the bottom of the bottle and at the top,then i cut a hole at the top of the nibbles and put the pipe through the hole and put the nibbles on so it covered the top half of the bottle (see pic) i then attacked the mini egg tube/toilet roll cardboard piece, then the air freshoner, then pepsi top, then plastic cup, then i glued the glue shooter end in the funnel and stuck it on top.
for the boosters i used 4 pringle tubes (english crisp?) i used 4 as two were not long enough to hit the bottom (see pic 144) so i added two more that i cut to size (see pic 145) the boosters and rocket launcher i attached to the MDF base using a glue gun, acrylic down the sides to give a "welded effect" and i also cut small holes on the pringles and screwed them on for additional support
for the white boxes and parts covering the boosters i used plasticard (like card...but plastic! ) i found this stuff pretty hard to find but eventually found some in a modelling shop
the parts curved at the bottom were simply more MDF i cut out because i couldnt be bothered in the slightest to make yet more 3D plasticard boxes but actually came out alot better looking
if you look in photo 152 you can see the plasticard covering the boosters had gaps at the top and bottom were you could look down and see the pringle tubes, to fill these i cut out some plasticard to cover as much as possible, i then stuffed newspaper and glue down the sides (the plasticard originally wobbled..but its as stiff as...uh...you know) then attached the plasticard covers with more superstrong glue, filling any holes i was unable to cover with filler/acrylic glue
the tops on the boosters with the | | like holes are simply air freshoner tops
the main type of glue i used to attach things was glue sticks with a glue gun (the stuff that heats up) so no leaving this baby against a radiator!
i also used acrylic adhesive to fill holes and add a nice welded effect
i then sprayed 3 gray base coatings and have now started adding metal coats so that i can add a worn paint effect when i come to adding color (i have yet to upload any photos of this)
overall, its taken me a good few months to get this far, but iv enjoyed every minute making it, why spend 200 dollars/pounds on master replicas when you can have so much fun making your own? almost all the items i got walking around shops that sells every item for 1 pound (around 2 dollars) and basicly just picked up items and used my imagination (you will require a fair bit of this )
as for the armor, im not 100% sure on the material as i brought it on ebay (sadly i lack the resources to mould )
the helmet (no photo yet, sorry!) is a £30 helmet from a costume website, its a great base template but i wont use it how it came for the final look. I will sand it down, respray it, i have already changed the see-through visor for a black one, and i will be fixing padding inside so that it doesnt move on my head.
i hope this is of some help, if you want i can make some photos pointing at individual parts explaining what they are.

Hollywood Park Stable Notes - Sunday, Nov. 2, 2008
Trainer and co-owner Walther Solis, who scored his biggest victory here with Time to Get Even in the 2007 Lazaro S. Barrera Stakes, thinks it's time for another stakes victory with Charlie's Moment in the $100,000-added Real Quiet Stakes for 2-year-olds at 1 1/16 miles on Cushion Track Saturday.
Charlie's Moment, a gelded son of Indian Charlie, is the most accomplished candidate for the race with a stakes win in the Gateway to Glory at Fairplex Park and earnings of $108,450.
Charlie's Moment, a $17,000 Keeneland September yearling sale purchase, has recorded two firsts, two seconds and one third in six starts.
"He ran as a ridgling with an undescended testicle in his first two races before we gelded him," said Solis. "In his first race as a gelding, he broke his maiden at Del Mar, beating Street Hero (who later won the Norfolk Stakes).
"He got the worst of the bumping in the Best Pal Stakes," continued Solis of an elevation from fourth to third via disqualification. "Then he won the Gateway to Glory by 2 ½ lengths. He just finished second by a nose (in the six-furlong Goodman Stakes at Santa Anita Oct. 18) but that race was too short for him, and (Rafael) Bejarano did a good job on keeping the winner (Backbackbackgone) close to my horse so Rosario couldn't use his left hand.
"Charlie's Moment has matured faster than Time to Get Even," said Solis, adding that Time to Get Even could start in an allowance race on the Saturday card.
A field of at least seven is probable for the Real Quiet: Charlie's Moment (Rosario), Chocolate Candy (Garrett Gomez), Danny Q (Martin Pedroza), Escalon (Rafael Bejarano), J.P. Jammer (Aaron Gryder), Mark S The Cooler (Michael Baze) and When We Met (Mike Smith).
Escalon, third-place finisher in the California Cup Juvenile, worked five furlongs in :59.40 here Sunday for the Doug O'Neill stable.
When We Met, who broke his maiden at third asking at Santa Anita Oct. 19, worked six furlongs at Santa Anita for the first time under Smith. "He worked well, in 1:12 and two, and Mike said he liked him," said trainer Mark Glatt. "He cut 12 and change quarters, and came home in 11 and change."
Ventana, another nominee, also worked at Santa Anita for trainer Bob Baffert. "I wasn't happy with the work," said Baffert. "He went five furlongs in 58 and three, but went way too fast early. I'll make a decision (on whether to enter) Wednesday."
Caprice, a 5-year-old mare based in Maryland, was supplemented for $1,300 by trainer H. Graham Motion for the $65,000-added Hermosa Beach Handicap for fillies and mares at 1½ miles on turf next Sunday.
Motion was trying to make arrangements for a Wednesday flight for the German-bred mare. The well-traveled Caprice seeks her first victory in the United States in her fifth start on as many different courses. She comes off a third-place finish in the Dowager Stakes on the Keeneland turf October 19.
Caprice began her career in France, where she won the Prix du Republican Lorrain in 2007. Rafael Bejarano has the Hermosa Beach call.
Black Mamba was assigned high weight of 124 pounds but is not expected to start. Probable starters include: Caprice, Bejarano, 118; High Heel Sneakers, Victor Espinoza, 115; Brushed Gold, Garrett Gomez, 114; Rushen Heat, Jose Valdivia, Jr., 114; Le Cirque, David Flores, 112, and Restless Soul, Joel Rosario, 112.
Winchester, winner of the Grade I Secretariat Stakes at Arlington Park and seventh-place finisher in the Breeders' Cup Turf at Santa Anita, was shipped to Hollywood Park this weekend to prepare for the $500,000 Hollywood Derby on Nov. 28.
Winchester, stabled in Barn 51 South, exercised on the track the past two mornings for the Dermot Weld stable. The Virginia-bred colt, owned and bred by Mr. and Mrs. Bertram Firestone, began his career in Ireland with Weld, winning a maiden race at Leopardstown on April 20 and finishing seventh in the Irish Derby June 29.
Weld has enjoyed success at Hollywood Park before, winning the 2002 Matriarch with Dress to Thrill, the 2003 American Oaks with Dimitrova and the 2006 Jim Murray Memorial Handicap with Grey Swallow.
The Grade I Hollywood Derby at 1¼ miles on turf is also expected to attract eastern shippers Gio Ponti and Court Vision as well as Oak Tree Derby winner Muny and Del Mar Derby winner Madeo.
Chantal Sutherland, a leading jockey in Canada who made a big hit last winter at Santa Anita, savored her first Hollywood Park victory Saturday aboard Mr. Rod in a six-furlong turf race for 2-year-old maidens.
"It was very exciting," said Sutherland on a muddy backstretch with agent Tommy Ball Sunday. "It was the first time I rode for Dan (trainer Dan Hendricks) and I was a little nervous. But the horse ran really well."
Sutherland won 18 races at Santa Anita last winter after riding here briefly during the final week of the Autumn meet. She won 90 races at Woodbine to rank third in the standings at the Toronto track before returning to Southern California last month.
"If I have a good winter, I may stay here next year," said Sutherland, who grew up near Toronto. "Otherwise, I will go back to Woodbine."
Casino Drive, the previously unbeaten Japanese 3-year-old colt who finished last after setting the early pace in the Breeders' Cup Classic at Santa Anita, will be flown back to Japan, said racing manager Nobutaka Tada here Sunday.
"He cantered on the track this morning and is feeling well," said Tada of the colt who trained here up to the Classic and returned the day after. "I'm making arrangements to ship next week.
"One option to consider for his next race is the Japan Cup Dirt," said Tada. "He will stay in training next year for sure and could return here."
FINISH LINES — Jockey agent Rolando Hevia said apprentice Sergio Figueroa, who joined the circuit last month, has left for Boston to be with his ailing mother and will ride at Suffolk Downs and remain in the East. Hevia has picked up the book of Eulices Gomez. Veteran journeyman Agapito Delgadillo, a former Hevia client, has hired Alex Procel Crowley to handle his book…Michael McCarthy, assistant to trainer Todd Pletcher, said he was happy with a victory in a 2-year-old maiden turf race here Friday by Hype. McCarthy, who oversees a 15-horse division at Santa Anita, said Bittel Road, winner of three straight turf races before finishing unplaced in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf, is the most likely stable representative Nov. 29 in the Generous Stakes, won last year by the Pletcher-trained The Leopard…Trainer Neil Drysdale said Liberian Freighter, winner of an allowance race on turf Saturday, would probably return in the War Chant Stakes Nov. 27. He also said veterans Artiste Royal and Obrigado, who worked seven furlongs in company Saturday, are being pointed for the Hollywood Turf Cup on Dec. 6...Apprentice Cheryl Charlton, scheduled to make her Hollywood Park debut today, is a 21-year-old native of Pomona with seven previous wins, six of them at Los Alamitos.

POLL: Best Linux packaging strategy?
According to the Wikipedia definition, Linux packaging formats "are the different file formats used to package software for various Linux distributions". There are two main categories: binary and source, but I will concentrate on binary packages for this discussion. To make an analogy (and I am aware this is a long shot) with the Windows world, Linux binary packages play a loosely similar role to Windows MSI files.
Binary formats include several variations, DEB and RPM being the most popular, but there are others like PISI (used by Pardus), PUP and PET (used by Puppy Linux), etc. DEB packages are used by Debian and its many derivatives, Ubuntu among them. RPM packages are used by Red Hat, Fedora, Mandriva, PCLinuxOS, etc.
The lack of a widely accepted standard means that anybody wanting to release software for Linux will need to package it in a big array of variations. In other words, If a hardware manufacturer wants to release a video card and make it compatible with Linux, they will need to sit down and package it in several formats (four or five at the very least). That effort obviously implies an investment of both time and money, which could only pay off if aimed at the major distros. This guarantees many "not so popular" ones will not be supported out of the box. As you can imagine, the situation is technically complicated and not clearly financially viable, which results in many companies not even bothering. The same applies to software companies releasing applications. They many times stick to their Windows versions only, but if they decide to support Linux, the support is incomplete at best.
Skype is offered for a few popular distros, but the complexity is already there.
On the other hand, some claim the fragmentation in packaging formats in Linux provides a nice collateral effect: Security. Rightly so, as it is difficult for companies to support Linux, it is also difficult for those with more obscure intentions to attack it. In other words, packaging a piece of malware so that it has a significant impact on the Linux community is almost impossible.
With all the above in mind, what do you think is the best strategy moving forward? Should Linux have a single packaging format? If so, which one? Should the situation stay as is?
Go ahead and vote on the poll applet on the right!

All very good points (As usual with your blog).ReplyDelete
But what about the source code? compiling some c# or ruby isn't the most complicated bit of work. sure its not like a .exe or .MSI in windows but who would want to use windows in the first place :P
The counter argument for security isn't the best outcome!
Keep up the good work with the blog
@Alien: Hey! Glad to see a comment from Mr. Alien! ;-)ReplyDelete
I see what you are saying about code, but I think you are looking at it from an expert point of view.
How would you manage repositories if all there is is code fragments? How would you automate working around dependencies? No doubt it is probably doable, but packaging is there for a reason, it clearly makes life a lot easier! ;-)
Glad you like the blog, mate!
Take care, Bro

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Views: 25
My advice is to stay away from Zine World. It's the worst zine of all time!
Another thought:
Maybe what Zine World could use is a more diverse set of reviewers, not just people who are current/ex-punk kids who are into either political, personal, or punk zines or some combination of the three
I think what Sarah said is crucial.
If we are going to criticize Zine World, we need to keep in mind that reviews are written by individual people. I am a reviewer for Zine World. I try to review fairly, based on the quality of writing, art, etc. I don't know how other reviewers decide what to put in their reviews.
A couple things to keep in mind: #1 Zine World reviewers are assigned review items randomly. People who like poetry aren't automatically given poetry zines, science fiction fans aren't assigned science fiction zines, etc., nor are people who hate poetry zines purposely given poetry zines or not given poetry zines. For other review zines, reviewers choose what they will review, but not at Zine World. #2 As far as I know, everything that is sent to Zine World that is printed matter and independently published is reviewed. #3 Zine World reviewers have a limit of 75 words for zine reviews. Book reviews can be a bit longer. It is extremely difficult (for me at least) to give more than basic information in 75. I can hardly ever fit constructive criticism into a 75 word review. I feel responsible to Zine World readers to give them as much information as possible to help them decide if they want to purchase a zine, which again is very challenging with a 75 word limit.
So yes, I agree, more diverse Zine World reviewers and writers. Jerianne would probably appreciate the help.
I once published a zine I called Zine Solar System -- a zine that could be described as an improved version of Zine World. Of course few people were interested in it despite its diverse content. Meanwhile, Zine World continues with its substandard, unchanging format. I'm of the mind that Jerianne prefers to keep Zine World as it is with its lack of diversity and all. And I doubt very much that she'd listen to any advice I have on how to improve her publication.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Lee356, Sep 10, 2005.
A rotation. Start AI, Afflalo, Tay, JMAX, Kwame 2nd unit: Stuckey, Rip, Amir, Dyess, Sheed
3 former all-stars and 1-future all-stars coming off the bench? Might solve our 2nd quarter issues.
The hope rotation. Until Tay, Rip, Dyess, and Sheed quit grieving about losing their buddy: Start AI, Stuckey, Afflalo, Amir, Kwame. 2nd unit: Rip comes in early for Stuckey, who then starts the 2nd quarter at point. Typical unit to start the 2nd quarter: Stuckey, Rip, Tay, JMAX, Sheed. Why this would work: Stuckey, since he is the point guard for that 2nd unit, decides who gets the ball. Not the grievers. None of the grievers are in the starting unit, so you got 5 guys just thinking about winning, rather than carrying massive baggage around about the old days and the way it was. So you start out with a team playing some basketball, as a team. And what if Sheed, Rip, Dyess, and Tay continue to grieve vs. play basketball? No problem, just bring the starters back in quicker.
start: AI, Rip, Tay, Amir, Sheed 2nd unit: Stuckey, Afflalo, Sharpe, JMAX, Kwame. minutes: AI 28, Stuckey 20 Rip 30, Afflalo 18 Tay 28, Sharpe 20 Amir 24, JMAX 24 Sheed 28, Kwame 20 Bynum plays occasionally by reducing Sharpe's minutes, and having Afflalo play some small forward with the other guards playing Afflalo's shooting guard minutes. Dyess plays about 12 minutes a game, taking about 2 minutes away from each of Kwame, Sheed, Amir, JMAX, Sharpe, and Tay. (Occasionally, Dyess comes in with Sheed or Kwame, while Amir moves to small forward.) This all can be done with a fairly simple substitution pattern. Just play the starters all the 1st and 3rd quarters, and the end of the game. The subs play the whole 2nd quarter, and the beginning of the 4th quarter.
With the economy struggling like it is, the Pistons should try to make use of their lower-priced commodities. That is, the guys with the smallest salaries should be playing the most minutes and vice versa. Here's what we got: Starting Unit PG - Stuckey SG - Sharpe SF - JMax PF - Amir C - Kwame This gives us a big, strong defensive-minded unit to begin the game. Plus, this unit will only cost the Pistons $11.7 million. 2nd Unit PG - AI SG - Rip SF - Tay PF - Sheed C - Dyess These reserves will begin replacing starters mid-way through the 2nd quarter. These guys will not play a lot of minutes: (1) Because they will need rest for the playoffs, and (2) This group has a total salary of $61.7 million. Minutes Distribution (inversely proportional to salaries): Stuck 32, AI 12 Sharpe 42, Rip 16 JMax 32, Tay 18 Amir 28, Sheed 14 Kwame 28, Dyess 18 The big-money guys will play down the stretch during crunch time. They should now be well-rested so they will be in better position to make the big-time plays that they are getting paid for.
Doesn't seem cost effective to have such an expensive player coming off the bench though. I would recommend using AI as a situational sub for certain match-ups only. If we are playing another team with a 150lb PG less than 6' tall, put AI in just to see if he can slow the guy down a little. Otherwise, we can rest AI for the critical NBA Finals game 7 winning shot. It will be well defended, so we need somebody who can create their own.
Good try, but this still leaves Dyess and Sheed in together too long. Maybe if you just kept the two to like 8 minutes a game total, like to start the 2nd and 4th quarters, you would have something. Keep working on it.
Good points. I was struggling when assigning McDyess' minutes. We re-signed him for less than $1 million, but the Nuggets bought him out for about $6 million of the more than $13 million remaining on his contract. He was cheap for us, but expensive for the NBA. Such a dilemma I was faced with it. He really screwed up my spreadsheet, to be honest.
Starters: Stuck/ Rip/ Tay/ Dyess/ Sheed (the most cohesive, familiar, etc.) Bench: AI/ AA/ Max/ Amir/ Kwame (punk & dunk unit) Unconventional big ball off the bench. AI can spend 50% of the time looking for his own shot, and 50% of the time driving and dishing/ kicking. Max, Amir, and Kwame will concentrate on avoiding 3-second calls while getting 75% of the offensive rebound opportunities. If the other team starts cracking it, then sub Tay in for one of the bigs. Think of the offensive rebounding opportunities for 3 aggressive bigs against the other teams' bench units. Think of the running opportunities. Plus we'd have 2 players who would love to get some post touches in case AI needs to take a play off. With all 5 defenders shadowing AI, the alley oop would always be a threat. He'd shoot a lot of heavily contested shots, but even if he shot .375 under this scheme, it would work out well because we'd be getting a huge portion of his misses back for a 2nd and 3rd chance.
What some people refer to as "familiar" others refer to as "grieving".
I like the 2nd unit (especially the name), but worry that the black cloud that has followed "Unlucky" Al and the "Anti-Horseshoe" Amir might rub off on the others. With this group AA would probably catch the clap from guarding Wade.
Wade does have the clap, doesn't he?
Why can't AI replace Stuck and do that with the starters? What you're asking him to do is what several other PGs do. Set up Tay along the perimeter to shoot 3s, feed Sheed in the post, run the pick & roll with Sheed/Dyess, get Rip some touches... Wouldn't the defense pack it in and dare that second unit to score from the perimeter? Plus the paint would already be pretty congested with 3 guys waiting for offensive boards.
I'm trying to specifically find a way to compensate for AI's low FG% and yet utilize his ability to score in difficult situations. So, my logic is that I want AI out there playing 1 on 5 with 4 rabid dogs on the offensive boards and on the defensive end. Even though he'll be shooting most of the shots at less than 40%, we'll still score on 60% of our possessions with all the mulligans he'll get. It will never happen though, so don't worry too much about it. This thread it all about daydreaming.
ssshhhhh....It's possible that MC is reading this thread and may look to use one of the rotations.
A rotation requires actually rotating. MC only changes the starters.
Don't bet on it. With the rate he's going, MC will probably hit all possible lineup combinations before the season ends.
True...I'm expecting Dave Cowens and Darrell Walker to be playing by the first of March.
Yes. By then Hermann would be promoted to starting PG and Bynum starting C. :nerd2:

Sherryn Klump: crash investigator
01 February 2014 , 7:19 AM by Rob Minshull
Although the summer holidays conjures up images of the beach, the sea, the surf and family get-togethers, it can also summon up the horrific scene of the fatal road crash.
Literally hundreds of people die on our roads every year - and most of those accidents take place during the holiday season.
But for one Queensland woman there is no escape from the horror on our roads because she works as a crash investigator for the Queensland Police Service's Forensic Crash Unit.
Senior Constable Sherryn Klump is talking to Katrina Davidson.

Hello. Ive got a Jango Helmet painted with Acrilyc pintures. Could I use rubf & buff directly?
Printable View
Hello. Ive got a Jango Helmet painted with Acrilyc pintures. Could I use rubf & buff directly?
I did a little test piece and it seemed to work ok but I read a post once that the correct way is to put it directly on wet/dry sanded primer.
So my thought is yes but it may not have the same finish quality.
Yeah, ideally you want to use RnB on a smooth, primed surface. The smoother the surface is to start out with the better the result will be.
Speaking of Rubbing and Buffng......when you guys remove the paint from your buckets do you just sand it? When i work on my car engine i paint the valve cover and the intake manifold and i usually use this Tal Strip to remove the paint and man it just tears it up but its on metal i was curious if anyones heard/used it on helms and the effect? :fettchest
And wich parts of the armor must be rub n' buffed? Everyone even the gauntlest?
by the way wich one is the right color:
Silver Leaf?
And how many 15ml tubes would I need to paint all the costume?
Really thanks!
I don't know if every bit of armour would be r.n.buffed because as it is a wax maybe it would wear off the thigh pieces because of the holster strap pressing on it ??
I bought the very same one and got the silver leaf.
As to how much to buy I don't know because I only tried a tester bit but from what I saw it goes a long way. At a pure guess I would say 2-3 tubes for the costume but don't quote me on that.
Katua Fett, never heard of that strip stuff sorry. When I repainted mine I simply sanded it down (can't remember what grit I used) and then wet n dry sanded it. Turned out nice and smooth. I have since learned to wet n dry sand the primer too.
..i used one tube rub'n buff "silver leaf" for all my armor pieces. i am very satisfied with it..... its very effective!
in time i am planing to upgrade my jango. new gauntlets....new west/body armor... its just on paper. but i will start soon... :thumbsup
JangoUri, I used R&B on my painted Rubies helmet and armor below and I didn't even have to mask off the blue areas on the helmet. The fact that the silver areas were already painted silver helped, and I would just rub off the R&B when I did get it on the blue areas by accident. I did sand the silver painted areas though with fine grit sandpaper before using R&B.
I wish I would have known you needed R&B cause I could have thrown some in the box with the other stuff. One tube is probably enough to do a couple of costumes. If you need me to get a tube for you let me know. Plus I still owe you that $5 bucks that I can buy it with. I'm also getting ready to head to the local hobbie shop to get the paints for weathering that's recommended here on the threads. I can pick you up some of that as well if you want. Just let me know
You should R&B everything. With applying it correctly and as time goes by the finish will harden and stop rubbing off on other things as much. I applied R&B to all my armor after I had painted it all with Rustoleum Metallic Silver and I think it turned out good because the paint helped to create a smooth surface after fine sanding it to prep for R&B. Plus if the R&B ever rubs off or scratches, you have a silver undercoating of paint to maintain the silver color.
Oh buddy, that armor and helmet are super nice. Yes, I should have told you I was looking Rub & buff, then you could have included them on the package. (by the way, the package is about arriving, I know is has already passed the customers)
Well, I could be interested. I´ll send you an e-mail.
On question, I used a Lacquer for acrylic pintures to all my silver armor pars. Is that
an disadvantage or it doesnt matter?
Well thanks !

First we saw Roxy Paine at work in January at his snowy upstate New York studio, building the "dendroid" that would soon be coming to Kansas City. Two weeks ago, we watched as the installation team poured themselves into the task of planting it on the Nelson Atkins Museum's front lawn.
This morning, "Ferment" officially took root in a celebration that started inside the museum, where one of the artist's' SCUMAKs has been installed, and then moved outdoors. A silver ribbon encircling Roxy's amazing

text: I would not be Joe D bashing if I thought for a minute that he appeared to have a plan on how he was going to rebuild the team. Like someone above stated, in 2002, 2003 and 2004, he continued to add pieces (bricks Analogy), one by one he added Ben, then Rip, Chauncey (as the general to run the team), McDyess to fortify the bench,Tayshaun then pulling off a coup to add the final piece Rasheed Wallace. I don't see that this time around. It appears that he is lost in the mukity muck. He keeps adding bad late round draft picks, washed up players, players no-one wants or needs, damaged goods players and lastly players that can be had on the cheap. I have always felt that the rebuilding process is done through a combination of the draft, trades and free agency. I would be grateful if Dumars would pick up a half dozen late first and second round picks with high upside and/or trade for a first rounder or two. We could of had a first round pick (Dallas), but Joe chose to hang onto Tayshaun. Very bad move IMHO. I was watching the WIzards last night, they have some serious talent with all those young cats. They will have a helluva team once they add a couple of quality vets to the mixx.. If the GM don't muck it up, these guys are going to make some noise in the future growing up together. Right now our team is just a hodge podge of everything, heinz 57, too much of this and nothing of that. We have to be the shortest, worst shooting and less athletic team in the NBA. I predict that we will win 8-10 games this year. Any more than this would absolutely floor me. I say, take Monroe, Brandon and Jerebko and start adding seriously young athletic talent around them. We will not see Monroe's true talent until we add an athletic center and move him to his natural position of Power Forward. All those who are gaga over Daye, he is just a tall guy that can shoot and that's it. He will never become a defensive stopper, ever.

Too big for me. Looks interesting. But, if I ever do get a revolver 1 day, it would be a 45 ACP or a 357 mag. I don't want anything more powerful than that.
Anyone here have any experience with this bad boy? I shot it a lot when my older brother was still in the country. It was his and he took it with him when he left. Anyways, I had a blast with that thing. I was expecting it to fly out of my hand when I shot it, but to me it felt no different than a .454 casull. I guess if the 500 didn't have the compensator of it then it would be a different story.
What about you guys? Lets hear your model 500 stories.
Too big for me. Looks interesting. But, if I ever do get a revolver 1 day, it would be a 45 ACP or a 357 mag. I don't want anything more powerful than that.
I want one just to many $$$$ for me now.
A .45 is big enough for me. I am a big boy. 5' 10 at 200 +. :-D A 45 is plenty for home protection, a five-hundered is for shooting Big Bears, bad boars and stopping small vehicles or showing off !!
Trip before last to the range - some guy next to me in the indoor range was shooting a 500. Good god - indoors, it had a huge pressure wave and made a ton of noise. I had to wait until he finished his cylinder each time before I resumed firing. Each shot had to cost at least $2 each

WOW!! Must be a very strong backstop. My handgun range wouldn't even let me shoot a .50AE Freedom Arms revolver let alone a .500 S&W magnum. :P When I took my hunter safty course there I had to shoot a .22 and a 12 gauge in the indoor range. The 12 gauge was loud as heck.
My local range rents a .500. $25 and it comes with 5 rounds. I've considered it, but... I'll wait. Of course you can shoot up to 7.62x54 there, rifle ammo just has to be soft point or hollow point. All pistol rounds allowed (except AP, tracer, etc). No field loads or steel shot for shotguns.
Actually, it's $3 a round. The store/range I work at rents one for $15 and the bullets cost $3 a piece. Not that many put more than one round through it. But we do require renters to sign a seperate waver for it, too.Originally Posted by Shipwreck
I've taken it out a few times. The one we have on the range doesn't have a compensator for some reason, but I don't think it is awful. The three on the sales floor are conversational pieces, though, that's for darn sure.
I'd love to own one, personally. But you couldn't pay me enough to take out the one with the 4" barrel. Does anyone have any experience with that bad boy?
I have a 4 inch, 500. The recoil is not that bad. The noise and blast is what fools ya'. Tried both, reduced loads and full loads. The longer barrels have more recoil, because of the longer burning time. The 325 grain JHP goes through 4 inches of concrete. A real concrete buster. Makes the famous 44 Magnum look like a punie girly man.
One other thing. One can find ammo at a cost of about a buck. UltraMax is $25 for a box of 20. Also "Cabelas"., sells about a buck, with their "bulk" 500 Magnum ammo.

The Fall of Fisker Automotive: A $35,000 Loss on Each Karma, Lavish Spending and Misinformation
Tiffany Kaiser
June 17, 2013 5:03 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Fisker spent $1.4 billion on the production of one car, and is now broke
Fisker Automotive is in a financial crisis with
talks of a bankruptcy filing
and huge employee layoffs. But what exactly caused the fall of Fisker?
dug deep to find out what went wrong at every corner. It interviewed more than 30 people close to the company (not including co-founders Henrik Fisker and Bernhard Koehler) and referred to a review of five years worth of confidential investor presentations. It even read internal Department of Energy (DOE) emails and briefings from a congressional hearing in April.
What Reuters found is that Fisker spent $1.4 billion on the production of one car, and is now broke.
found that there were many reasons that led to Fisker's demise. For starters, Fisker built about 2,450 Karmas (its plug-in hybrid luxury sports sedan, which was the company's only production vehicle) from 2011 to 2012, but internal financial statements show that the automaker lost at least $35,000 on each car.
That wasn't the Karma's only issue. Delays in the start of Karma production and a huge reduction in volume meant forced Fisker to pay much higher prices for many components and sub-systems. It was also stuck paying penalties to suppliers and to Valmet, which built the Karma in Finland. In fact, Fisker racked up $200 million in bills to suppliers by late 2011 because the automaker asked them to meet challenging deadlines, yet was slow in giving suppliers technical information and punctual payments.
Fisker only delivered 200 Karmas to customers in 2011 and another 1,600 in 2012, which was a huge disappointment compared to its original plans to sell 15,000 Karmas a year starting in 2009.
The Karma's design was another huge problem that cost Fisker millions of dollars. Engineers were pressured to stick with Henrik Fisker's original design, even when they discovered performance flaws that would later need last-minute fixes and tweaks. These last minute fixes made between $50 million and $100 million of Fisker's parts inventory obsolete.
These design changes also led to cost overruns and late shipments of components while Fisker over-ordered other parts.
One of the fixes was the front-end exhaust design, which was noisy and reduced horsepower. Instead of just putting the exhaust pipe in the back ahead of time, a thin, steel box was designed later to enclose the exhaust system. But engineers said this last-minute fix cost the company millions of dollars.
Henrik Fisker and the Karma
Aside from Karma issues, the company had
a spending problem
. Henrik Fisker and Koehler had salaries of $600,000-$700,000 a year -- even after the automaker laid off hundreds of employees in 2011 and 2012.
In May 2011, Fisker co-sponsored a pre-race grand prix party on a 146-foot yacht in the Monte Carlo harbor. The party, which featured champagne with flecks of gold and an appearance by Prince Albert of Monaco, cost Fisker between $80,000 and $100,000.
The DOE also caught some heat for the way the Fisker loan was handled. Many wondered whether the DOE offered acceptable oversight, and if Fisker's board of directors (mainly large investors) guided the company correctly.
But according to DOE, it was receiving mixed stories from Fisker about production milestones and spending, and did what it could with the misinformation. For example, Fisker told DOE on November 1, 2011 that it needed additional private equity or loan money, or else it would run out of cash completely in just three days. But at the end of the month, it said that a mid-month investment of $37 million bumped it up to $20 million in cash.
In the December 14, 2011 letter to shareholders, Fisker said it had a capitalization of nearly $2 billion. But that included $720 million in private equity that had nearly been spent; the $529 million in DOE loans, which Fisker only had access to $192 million of at that point, and $700 million for the Delaware plant (which was inflated at 30 times the actual purchase price).
An internal DOE briefing from December 19, 2011 explained a plan to keep an eye on Fisker's progress regarding the Delaware plant. The briefing mentioned that it could be ready to build cars "by the end of 2013," but a separate email in late December 2011 between DOE officials predicted that the Atlantic (Fisker's second model) would not be ready for production in the Delaware plant until mid-2014.
However, investors got the wrong information in the December 14 shareholder letter, which stated that Fisker would continue with a 2013 launch time frame for the Atlantic. But in February 2012, all 26 workers were laid off at the Delaware plant.
Private-sector investors had put $525 million into the company from May 2011 to August 2012 due to Fisker's bending of the truth in some instances, such as the $2 billion company value.
To make matters worse,
DOE cut off Fisker's loans
in June 2011, and Fisker didn't make any mention of it for nine months. An anonymous Fisker executive told
that the DOE never told Fisker that it was cutting off access to the loan; the company just stopped seeking the funds during that period of time. He also said that Fisker told investors in the December 2011 letter that there wasn't a good chance that the automaker would meet the financial agreements as part of the DOE loan.
Fisker received $529 million in
DOE loans
in April 2010 for the development of high-tech vehicles. But
DOE froze the loans due to "unmet milestones"
in June 2011 with only $192 million drawn at that point.
Fisker's situation crumbled further this year when Henrik Fisker
stepped down as executive chairman
citing "several major disagreements" with "Fisker Automotive executive management on the business strategy."
That same month, the company was forced to
put its U.S. workers on furlough
and eventually
laid off 75 percent of its workforce
(or about 160 employees). Fisker even faced a federal lawsuit that accuses the company of not giving employees advanced notice of the mass layoffs. Under the U.S. Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, workers are supposed to have 60 days notice before being laid off.
The cherry on the cake was Fisker's missed DOE payment at the end of April.
Fisker is looking for a buyer, and last month, VL Automotive (a venture between former General Motors Co executive Bob Lutz and industrialist Gilbert Villarreal) and China parts maker Wanxiang Group submitted a proposal to
buy Fisker Automotive for $20 million
in a prepackaged bankruptcy deal.

An East Africa Regional Seminar on: Copyright Enforcement in the Internet Era in Kenya
The United States Patent and Trademark Offices (USPTO), Global Intellectual Property Academy (GIPA) hosted An East Africa Regional Seminar on: Copyright Enforcement in the Internet Era on May 19 - 21, 2009, in Nairobi, Kenya. More than 50 government officials comprised of judges, prosecutors, customs officials, copyright officials, and legislators from Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, and Ethiopia participated in the 3 day event. Benjamin Hardman, an attorney with the USPTOs Office of Intellectual Property Policy & Enforcement, was the conference coordinator.
The conference got under way with opening remarks by Pamela Slutz, the Deputy Chief of Mission of the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi. She highlighted the important role that intellectual property protection can play in protecting Africas unique cultural patrimony.
Benjamin Hardman provided an overview of copyright, which looked at the international obligations found in the Berne Convention and the TRIPS Agreement. The overview included a look at the subject matter of copyright, exceptions and limitations, issues related to ownership, and the term of protection. The conference next examined the technological developments that have changed the way creative works are created, distributed, and consumed, as well as the legal tools available to confront the challenges created by this new environment.
Throughout the conference, panels of experts comprised of the conference participants were formed to provide a perspective from a particular field and country experience.
Simon Wainaina led the final discussion of the day which outlined the challenges faced by the creative industries.
The second day was devoted to copyright enforcement. Benjamin Hardman outlined the U.S. civil and criminal systems while a panel of judges and prosecutors provided their individual and country experiences.
The final day of the conference began with a look at the U.S. customs experience. James Dozier, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) attaché with the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi, provided an overview of U.S. border enforcement. This was followed by the panel of customs officials that explored the challenges and country specific experiences of the panelists.
The panel of legislators looked at the state of the law and highlighted areas where the Members of Parliament thought improvements could be made.
Paula Pinha, an attorney with the U.S. Copyright Office, closed out the final day of the conference with a discussion of secondary liability for copyright infringement and Internet service provider liability. She explored the different theories of secondary liability for copyright infringement and included a study of various U.S. cases and additional examples. On Internet service provider liability, she explained the relevant provisions of the U.S. law, including the requirements for eligibility and limitations on liability provided by the law. A discussion of specific U.S. cases illustrated how the provisions worked in practice.

text: Re: Wiz Vs. Cavs series The Pistons had two nail-biting wins last year to go up 2-0 in the ECF. Getting obliterated in Game 2 makes it pretty hard to recover. Although I guess the Pistons did more or less do that in the '05 finals against the Spurs, rebounding from butt-kickings in the first two games with two blowouts of their own in the Palace. But this year's Wizards...well, I'm not feeling much faith anymore.

You should probably do some more thinking on whether you are responsible enough to get a gun. Stating that you don't want to go to a shooting range "or something like that" is scary.
1)How do you intend to defend yourself without practice? You don't just pick up a gun and "abra cadabra" you're putting 2in clusters in a target!
2)If your apartment complex is getting robbed, and you only need to be accurate at 5 yards, what happens if you miss and kill someone else. Are you prepared to spend the rest of your life in jail?
3)Cheap gun? A gun is something that is protecting your life. Would you go get open heart surgery from a "cheap surgeon?" No, of course not. I'm not saying you have to get the Bentley of guns, but get something reliable.
I'm really not trying to be rude, however, I'm just not sure that you are mature enough for a gun yet.

Adding length to the grip will make your pistol harder to conceal.
If your pinkie-finger doesn't fit onto the grip, you're firing a really small gun.
I hate to keep repeating myself, but small pistols are not beginners' guns. They are difficult to hang onto, and difficult to shoot effectively and accurately.
Get some experience shooting a larger, heavier pistol, and then transition to your smaller piece.

Season: 1
Episode Number: 1
Season Episode Number: 1
Production Number: 101
Airdate: November 26, 2010
Writer: Greg Weisman
Director: Jay Olvia
Voices: Jesse McCartney (Robin), Crispin Freeman (Speedy, Guardian), Jason Spisak (Kid Flash), Khary Payton (Aqualad), Nolan North (Superman), Bruce Greenwood (Batman), Alan Tudyk (Green Arrow), George Eads (Flash), Phil LaMarr (Aquaman, Dubbliex), Kevin Michael Richardson (Martian Manhunter), Keith Szarabajka (Mr. Freeze), Yuri Lowenthal (Icicle), René Auberjonois (Blockbuster) Unknown (Zatara, Fireman, Scientist).
Plot: Determined to prove that they are more than just sidekicks, Robin, Kid Flash and Aqualad break into Cadmus Labs to uncover a mystery that involves Genomorphs and mind control!
Review (Warning! Spoilers!): And here we go! Young Justice takes off at a speed only the Flash can keep up with, delivering the first twenty-two action packed minutes with a bevvy of super heroes and villains!
The episode starts off with four separate attacks by ice-themed villains, Mr. Freeze, Icicle, Killer Frost and Captain Cold. Whether these attacks will have any relevance in the coming episodes is unknown, but it serves as a perfect way to introduce the characters.
They are not brought together to save the world like the Justice League or Avengers, or have a similar origin story that ties them all together like the Fantastic Four. This young team of heroes is formed in order to prove their self-worth. Not exactly a great reason to form a team, but it will most likely provide some great character building.
The main bulk of the plot revolves around Project Cadmus, a science lab created by Jack Kirby in the 70s. Inside Cadmus are two other Kirby creations, Guardian and Dubbliex, as well as Dr. Mark Desmond who will soon become Blockbuster!
The voice talent in this show draws on that vast network of actors that have been involved with past DC projects, such as Bruce Greenwood reprising his Under the Red Hood role as the Dark Knight. The voices suit each character, even pop star Jesse McCartney as Robin, whom I was quite weary of upon hearing his casting.
The animation is top notch, as usual with Warner Bros. Animation. They always put a lot of care and attention into their cartoons and this one is no exception. It may even be better than Justice League.
With more characters to be added to the team and a whole universe of DC villains to introduce, Greg Weisman and his team have their work cut out for them, but they sure are off to a good start.

Hello all,
I'd like to buy a wide angle lens to go below my 28-80 and give me more options. I have a canon film camera and would like a lens thats around £150, as photography is a passtime i really enjoy, but i can't justify spending any more than that. I have the Tamron 19-35 in mind at the moment, does have any experience with this lens or any alternatives they might recommed?
Many thanks
Which Wide Angle?

I guess now it's Waterfowler's bootcamp and Outdoor festival.
I have a feeling the scene is going to change there. Bringing in Amish furniture and jam makers is going to begin to nudge the waterfowlers out. I liked knowing that when I drove there, I would be greeted with aisles of duckin' gear, not Jerky makers and fly fishing guides.

I have created a monster. This crazy dog of mine certainly has desire, but I cannot control it. I thought we were making headway this afternoon, as the brant were all over us, swimming around 10 feet away and Jack didn't break. I kept reinforcing "Steady" and he was...I even got lucky enough at the end of the day and had a pair of black ducks stool in and he made a nice retrieve. We picked up and when we got back to the ramp I let him out of the boat and up the ramp he goes, I'm heading to the truck and he usually follows but today he disappears. I see the water rippling and off he goes chasing some dock ducks. I call to no avail, when he persues ducks he seems to forget who feeds him!!! GD it, I had to go out and run him down in the boat...sometimes I want to shot him...lol
Not a bad way to reacclimate to the NJ weather after arriving back from sunny Fla yesterday! 86 degrees everyday and sunny, it sucked walking off that plane, but it was nice to be back in the bay with the gun and not the fishing rod!

Bibliographical Content
Content of the Beethoven Gateway (as of July 2009)
Literature on Beethoven
The Beethoven Gateway indexes publications in many languages, primarily English, German, French, Italian, Dutch, and Spanish. All of the books and journal articles indexed in the Gateway are in the collection of the Ira F. Brilliant Center for Beethoven Studies.

Editions of Beethoven's music
At present, the Beethoven Gateway primarily lists published editions of Beethoven's music located in the collections of the Ira F. Brilliant Center for Beethoven studies. A few editions located in other libraries and collections, for which the Beethoven Center owns photocopies, are also included. Although the Gateway currently provides access to only about 75% of the Beethoven Center's collection of music editions, the goal is reach 95% by the end of 2010. These editions include:
- first editions
- other editions from Beethoven's lifetime
- other important editions published in the 19th century, including arrangements and collected works
- important 20th-century editions, particularly scholarly critical editions
The Beethoven Center provides photocopy and scanning services of rare editions in the collection. See also our guidelines for locating Beethoven editions in your local libraries.
Manuscripts (originals and facsimiles)
Currently, the only original manuscripts included in the Beethoven Gateway are located in the Beethoven Center's collection. However, the Beethoven Thesaurus identifies and provides information on locations of other Beethoven manuscripts throughout the world.
Facsimile publications of Beethoven's music manuscripts, letters, and other documents are indexed in the Beethoven Gateway. These include Beethoven's sketchbooks; fair copies and other autograph music manuscripts; contemporary copies of scores not in Beethoven's hand; letters; and other important music and biographical documents. Consult the Documents section of the Beethoven Thesaurus for a more extenstive list of types of manuscript materials. Some manuscript facsimiles printed as illustrations in books are also indexed in the Beethoven Gateway.
Other content
The current focus of development of the Beethoven Gateway is on adding information on other formats of materials located in the Beethoven Center's collections. These include:
- Sound recordings: compact discs and LP recordings, including the Blakeley Collection of Beethoven symphonies and concertos
- Audio/visual materials: video tapes and DVDs of Beethoven documentaries, feature films, performances, lectures, and more.
- Graphic materials: portrait engravings, lithographs, maps, art objects (busts and sculpture)

Green Bay's Great Season Ends with NIT Loss to Belmont
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – On Tuesday night, Green Bay (24-7) played for the first time in three seasons without starting point guard Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.). The Horizon League Player of the Year missed a game for the first time in his career due to injury, and a resilient Phoenix team fell 80-65 to visiting Belmont (25-9) in the opening round of the National Invitation Tournament at the Resch Center.
Junior Greg Mays (Chicago, Ill.) scored a team-high 15 points on 6-of-10 shooting and freshman Kenneth Lowe (Little Chute, Wis.) came off the bench to add a career-high 12 on 5-of-7 from the field, but Green Bay could not overcome a season-high 21 turnovers against a Bruins squad that won the Ohio Valley Conference regular season title.
Belmont led 12-11 after a quick start for both teams before the Bruins scored 16 of the next 19 points to lead 28-14 with 9:47 to play. The visitors' lead would reach 15 points before the Phoenix responded with a 13-2 spurt to close to 37-33. Sophomore Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.) capped the run with a steal and a dunk. He had two steals to break Green Bay's single-season record.
The Bruins responded by closing the first half with a 12-4 lead to take a 49-37 halftime lead. Belmont, one of the nation's top offensive teams, shot 54.3 percent from the field (19-35) in the opening 20 minutes while forcing 14 turnovers.
The lead for Belmont reached 19 points early in the second half, and despite another Phoenix response still led by 13 (69-56) with 4:04 to play. Senior Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) scored the next six points to start a 9-3 spurt which cut the deficit to seven with 1:26 remaining.
In his final game of his career, Brown finished with nine points and six rebounds and also swatted a shot to tie the Horizon League career record for blocked shots. He finished his career with 1678 points, 800 rebounds and 308 blocked shots.
Belmont knocked down a three-pointer on the next possession to increase the lead to 10 points. The Bruins did not reach their season averages in points, field goal percentage or three-point field goal percentage, but ultimately pulled out the win due to 23 points off turnovers.
Under fourth-year head coach Brian Wardle, Green Bay won the Horizon League regular season title for the first time in 18 seasons and finished with the most wins by a Phoenix team since 1995-96.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Ford did make some 8 inch locker rearends, try looking for them in 1975-78 Mustang 2's with the 302 V8's. The 8 inch rearend is pretty tough but not as tough as a 9 so unless you have over 300 rear wheel HP I wouldn't go through the hassle of changing to a 9. BTW the 70's carriers are stronger than any of the 60's 8 inch carriers. If you cannot find a Ford Locker, there is alway Auburn, Power Trax and Currie that makes lockers for the 8 inch rearend.
|I know Kultulz has info on upgrades for 8-inch rears. If you PM him he will help. I opted to go with a 9-inch, instead of building my stock 8-inch. I found a 9-inch donor at the bone yard from an old MachI for $80.00. Bought a set of 3.70 Precision gears for $179.95 and a Traction Lok dif. for $369.95. Through in some bearings, seals, etc. and I had a fresh 9-inch for about $800.00 complete. I also had to have a driveshaft made. Not exactly pocket change but I don't think I'll ever have to worry about my rear again. I got my parts from www.ReiderRacing.com . I don't know if they have much for 8-inch rears but they have an 800 number that you could call.
Thanks for the explanation on the rearends..
The car originally had a 289 and was changed to
a 302 in 74-75. Yes it is an 8". Can I change it
over to a track lock? does that just involve changes in the diff. or it the complete rearend?
[ February 01, 2003: Message edited by: 67stang ]

IF your car came with a 302 in a 67 Mustang.......chances are very good that you have a 8 inch series rear end. Anthing other than 1 leggers are fairly rare.
You will most likely be forced to go to the aftermarket to get a both rear wheel pull center section/and or performance gear ratios.
limited slip, positraction and trac lock are basically all the same thing. They are units that go in the differential and keep both the tires turning the same speed but slip around corners. All of these contain frition plates and steel plates and springs that hold them together. Pretty much like how an automatic transmission is put together. Posi is chevys name for their unit, traction lok is fords name for their unit, they can be rebuilt. I think limited slip is just the generic term.
A spool is pretty much like a solid peice of metal holding the ring gear and the axles together. You can make a home-made spool by simply welding the spider gears together. These are not streetable though and will chirp around every corner big or small. Good for racing.
Then there is a detroit locker, which is also good for racing but clicks and chatters around corners. There is an Auburn locker but i dont know much about them except they are rebuildable. There are air lockers also, which work as an open diff. all the time but when you flip a switch, it locks up like a spool. They also have lockers that work the same way only with elecricity. The best kind of differential....thingy would be the torsen torque sensing differential. They put these on the cobra R, BMWs have them and many other of the most prestigious cars world wide. They litterally sense which wheel has the most traction and gives more power that wheel.
One wheel wonder recommendations
I currently have a stock 302 2bbl, C-4, with an
open(?) rearend. Could I get some info on what is
the difference between limited slip,
positraction, traclock, spool etc. And some recommendation on a good gear ratio and the right route to go for power to both wheels. I plan on rebuilding my suspension first. Rebuild and shift kit on the C-4. and getting the 302
to 350-400 horses. Car will be a weekend driver,
no track action cept maybe just to see what it will do when completed. thanks..
