I was wondering how hard would it be to install a beavertail grip safety on a Para GI Expert 1911?

I was wondering how hard would it be to install a beavertail grip safety on a Para GI Expert 1911?
You probably can't do it yourself, unless you have a whole lot of metal-working and -machining experience.
This is what gunsmiths are for. Find a really good one, and then bring him all of your work.
I've done several of them. It's a little tricky but it's not rocket science. If you are not one that has done much of any work on your weapons I'd get a smith to do it though.
thank you very much for all your help
To install one, you have to cut a radius on the frame, either .250" or .220" depending on the brand of grip safety. You can buy a jig from Brownells.com for about $17.00. Then you have to file the trigger block part of the safety to get the proper clearance. Otherwise you may not be able to operate the trigger. If you file too much, the grip safety may be non functional. The work is not really hard, it can all be done with a small file. Of course you will need to refinish the areas that you filed. Gunsmiths will charge $75.00 and up for this not including the safety or refinishing (can be done with cold blue). I install a lot of them, using a jig on my mill. I have seen some ham fisted jobs done by people wanting to save a few bucks. The only repair then is welding and complete refinishing. I have them on all of my 1911s, they really improve the grip for me.
Ask some gunsmiths for prices. Done right, they look easy and feel great. Done poorly, they are ugly, uncomfortable and unsafe.
Chip Kunkle
check out this thread i started on m1911forum. i did a review of my gi expert and this guy posted pics of his with a beavertail (and other parts) that he put on his.
If you decide to install a bt grip safety on your pistola, i advise you to purchase the ed brown memory groove model & the brown wide thumb safety.
Have them professionally fitted & blended to the frame at the same time. Keep in mind that the frame, mainspring housing, slide stop, grip safety, & thumb safety will require refinishing to cosmetically enhance the beauty of your sidearm. I can highly recommend the "robar company" to handle this chore for you.
If you decide to do it yourself, I'd probably stay away from the Ed Brown for your first attempt. There is considerably more metal removal and blending involved than with the Smith & Alexander or the Wilson versions.

I have some clone trooper armor thats been sitting in a box for the past couple years and finally decided to work on it (trying to get a clone/jedi ready for halloween). But I'm having a few hang ups. The armor is very thin (I think it may be sintra, but I'm not sure as I dont know what sintra actually feels/looks like other than I know its thin). I need to know what I can coat the back of the armor in to reinforce it and what I can paint the armor with (as it came bondo'ed in some spots). Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Sorry for no pics, I'll try and get some up later after work.

Findmypast has added a little known, but very useful dataset to it's website. Roger Nixon, a military history researcher, has released an index of 245,000 soldiers who were serving in the British Army worldwide in 1861. The material has been collected using the April – June quarter Paylists which are held at The National Archive.
This surely must have been a labour of love which took many hours so it would be criminal if it was not widely used. Many thanks to Roger Nixon for allow online access to such useful data.

Posted by Thomas Husson on June 6, 2010
At the beginning of this year, we stated that application stores would continue to flourish, but none would replicate Apple's success in 2010. So far, it has been quite easy not to be proven wrong on this one. Android Market and, to a lesser extent, RIM's BlackBerry App World are growing fast in the US, while Nokia's OVI is performing quite well in some regions. Windows Marketplace is likely to benefit from end-of-year Windows 7 sales, while Samsung Apps are not yet really marketed, not to mention LG's efforts. The Wholesale Applications Community (the operators' alliance) has not yet launched. Global operators have yet to significantly launch their own multiplatform stores. Both approaches (the vertically integrated from handset manufacturers/OS players and the horizontal layer added by operators) are likely to continue to expand this year, making it even more complex for brands and companies launching their own applications. Many of them are starting to realize that there is a world outside of Apple's iPhone and that their app will be lost in a back catalog of more than 200,000 apps if they don't market it. They are starting to wonder how to break the Apple App Store ranking algorithm, how much to invest in the life cycle of their application, and which stores they should target to distribute their products and services. I see a couple of key issues that need to be tackled to seriously address this market opportunity:

Indonesia Facts Flag
Indonesia is a vast equatorial archipelago of 17,000 islands extending 5,150 kilometers (3,200 miles) east to west, between the Indian and Pacific Oceans in Southeast Asia. The largest islands are Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan (Indonesian Borneo), Sulawesi, and the Indonesian part of New Guinea (known as Papua or Irian Jaya). Islands are mountainous with dense rain forests, and some have active volcanoes. Most of the smaller islands belong to larger groups, like the Moluccas (Spice Islands).
Indonesia, the world's fourth most populous nation, is 86 percent Muslim—and the largest Islamic country, though it is a secular state. Indonesians are separated by seas and clustered on islands. The largest cluster is on Java, with some 130 million inhabitants (60 percent of the country's population) on an island the size of New York State. Sumatra, much larger than Java, has less than a third of its people. Ethnically the country is highly diverse, with over 580 languages and dialects—but only 13 have more than one million speakers.
After independence from the Netherlands in 1945, the new republic confronted a high birthrate, low productivity, and illiteracy—areas in which progress has since been made. The government used a "transmigration" policy to address uneven population distribution by relocating millions of people from Java to other islands. Unity and stability are improving, although outer areas of the archipelago resent domination by Java. The Asian financial crisis hit Indonesia extremely hard. Public unrest, including violent rioting, forced President Suharto—in office since 1967—to resign in May 1998. One year later Indonesia conducted its first democratic elections since 1955.
The democratic government faces many problems after years of military dictatorship. Secessionists in the regions of Papua and Aceh (northwest tip of Sumatra) had been encouraged by East Timor's (now Timor-Leste) 1999 success in breaking away after 25 years of Indonesian military occupation. A 2005 peace agreement with Aceh separatists led to 2006 elections and a cooling of the tension. Militants on Papua still engage in a low-level insurgency. Militant Islamic groups have become active in recent years, and religious conflict between Muslims and Christians recently flared in Sulawesi and the Moluccas. The island of Bali, a center of Hindu culture, suffered a terrorist bomb blast in 2002 that killed more than 200 people—mostly tourists. Three years later, in 2005, the country was hit by the devastating Indian Ocean tsunami, which killed more than 220,000 Indonesians.
Export earnings from oil and natural gas help the economy, and Indonesia is a member of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). Tourists come to see the rich diversity of plants and wildlife—some, like the giant Komodo dragon and the Javan rhinoceros, exist nowhere else.
- Industry: Petroleum and natural gas; textiles, apparel, and footwear; mining, cement, chemical fertilizers
- Agriculture: Rice, cassava (tapioca), peanuts, rubber; poultry
- Exports: Oil and gas, electrical appliances, plywood, textiles, rubber

I have learned the Corta Jaca a month ago. The rhythm of this figure differs from the basic count wich is 1-and-2-1-and-2. The rhythm how we dance the Corta Jaca is and-1-and-2-and-3-and-4. The man places his left foot forward and stands on the heel. Replace weight to the right foot on count 1.Then the man places his left foot back and stands on the toe. After that replace weight to the right foot while turning to the right 1/4 turn. Repeat everything once. This is how we dance it, but I think there are more variations. If you download my dance software wich is freeware (not shareware), you can see this figure as a part of the gold program. You will see animated feet on your computer screen. Look for the figure Samba-Gold. This is the url of my site. http://www.xs4all.nl/~fghb/ballroom.htm I think Jonathan can give you a better explanation, but it is nice to see everything on your screen.

Schubring Adds Four Freshman to 2013-14 Women's Tennis Squad
By Justin Grones
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Third-year Green Bay women's tennis head coach Sara Schubring has announced four additions to her 2013-14 squad, including two Green Bay area natives and three players who advanced to the WIAA State Championships on either the team or individual level. The four newcomers bring the Phoenix roster to six players, rounded out by sophomores Stephanie Londre (Kimberly, Wis.) and Rachael Menos (Burlington, Wis.).
New to the team this season are Lauren Miketinac (Green Bay, Wis.), Claudia Negron (Lima, Peru), Noel Peck (Green Bay, Wis.) and Carly Van Nuland (Kimberly, Wis.). Each player will look to make an immediate impact as the Green Bay women's tennis team opens its fall season this weekend at the Cougar Fall Invite hosted by Chicago State.
"All of these players are committed to performing the daily efforts required to compete in Horizon League tennis," Schubring said. "They are consistently offering their best effort and practicing a positive attitude, and I'm happy to have them join Green Bay women's tennis."
Lauren Miketinac
A graduate of Green Bay Preble High School, Miketinac advanced to the individual state tournament in 2011 and 2012. Impressive on the court and in the classroom, she was a member of the National Honor Society during her senior year in 2012-13.
Claudia Negron
Negron, a native of Peru, brings a wealth of national and international tournament experience to the Phoenix. She held her country's No. 1 ranking in the 12-, 14- and 16-year-old age divisions and also competed in the 2010 USTA Orange Bowl.
Noel Peck
A four-year standout at Green Bay Southwest, Peck joins the Phoenix roster after advancing to team state competition with the Trojans in each year of her high school career. She was named team captain for the 2012 season and eventually advanced to individual state competition in doubles play.
Carly Van Nuland
Van Nuland, a native of Kimberly, Wis., served as the No. 1 singles player for the Papermakers during her senior campaign. Following a successful season, she received an All-Fox Valley Association Honorable Mention nod and was also named to the Appleton Post-Crescent's All-Area team. As a junior in 2011-12, Van Nuland advanced to individual state competition in doubles play.
The Green Bay women's tennis squad kicks off the 2013-14 campaign this weekend as the fall season begins at the Cougar Fall Invite hosted by Chicago State. To view the completed 2013-14 schedule, click here.

The city of Lee's Summit is celebrating Earth Day ten days early on April 12 with the event "Recycling Fest." The event will be held at the City Hall parking lot at 220 SE Green Street. Residents can bring in their recyclable products from 9 a.m. to noon.
In the past, Lee's Summit has held separate events such as paper shredding and bicycle and athletic shoe collections. This year, the city decided to combine all these into one big event in celebration of Earth Day.
Some items, such as carpet and electronics, will not be collected at this event, but can be taken to the the city's Resource Recovery Park, located at 2101 SE Hamblen Rd. in Lee's Summit.
On the day of the event, there will be two paper shredding trucks located in the parking lot. Resident are asked to park in the parking garage next door and take their materials over to the parking lot where all the bins are laid out for the acceptable items.
Most of the items are recycled locally. Kara Taylor, environmental program coordinator, said that each material goes to a separate vendor.
"Crayons go to Crazy Crayons recycling program. We mail those off, and they melt them down and recycle them," she said. All of our end users are either reusing or recycling the materials."
The city will hold the event again in celebration of America Recycles Day on Oct. 11.
Look here for a list of acceptable items.

Eva Mendes Covers Marie Claire March 2012
With her new movie "Girl In Progress" set to debut this April, Eva Mendes is easing back into the spotlight by covering he March 2012 issue of Marie Claire.
The 37-year-old Cuban-American actress shows off her undeniable good looks while clad in Dolce & Gabbana on the magazine's front page while talking about her beauty secrets and landing one of Hollywood's most desired men, Ryan Gosling.
Highlights from Ea's in-depth interview are as follows. For more, be sure to visit Marie Claire!
On working with Ryan Gosling:
"He's your dream costar. I have never felt so creatively satisfied on a film."
On body image:
"It doesn't matter what you have or what you look like. It's something everyone has to work at. I realize I have contributed to a certain happy, healthy, empowered image, but that's not all of me. I feel it's important to let women know that I have similar struggles. What I tell girls is what they don't like about themselves now, they will probably end up loving as an adult, because that's what happened to me. When I am complimented on things that I didn't like when I was 13, like my overbite and my mole, that's when you realize that your imperfections are why people love you."
On her idols, Julianne Moore and Annette Bening:
"I have a girl crush on them. I'd kill to have half the careers they've had after 40."

|For other uses, see Derek
- "That rig will crush us!"
- ―Derek
Derek is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a minor character in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Derek is an employee at a gas station in Dillimore, where he serves people at the till. He is seen in the mission Tanker Commander, where he reluctantly gives chase (being forced to do so by another employee) to Carl Johnson and Catalina who had stolen a tanker full of petrol. The player can choose to kill him by getting out of the tanker and shooting him or dealing enough damage to his car during the chase and cause it to explode. If the player doesn't do this and delivers the tanker to Mr. Whittaker's depot, a cutscene ensues where Derek crashes the car into a gas station and blows it up. Derek manages to jump out of the car before impact and survives, as does the other employee, although both can be killed after the mission has been completed. It is also worth noting that Derek's model is the same as a San Fierro pedestrian. Derek also gets scared during the chase and says things like; "This ain't my fight!", or "That rig will crush us!" all whilst the gas station owner is yelling at him to get closer so he can get a better shot.

When antibodies fail to distinguish between your own body and an
invading microbe, they make you sick. This happens in chronic
autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis
and systemic lupus erythematosus, which have complex constellations
of variable, often debilitating symptoms because of
autoantibodies—antibodies that target the body's own tissues.
Although it might make intuitive sense that autoantibodies to
connective tissue afflict the joints and those against motor neurons
impair movement, autoimmune diseases are seldom so tidy in their
causes and effects. Impaired memory and altered mood are common to
many autoimmune diseases, and even some "classic"
neurologic and psychiatric conditions—movement disorders,
schizophrenia, autism and others—are linked to antibodies
against the brain. However, unlike joints and peripheral nerves, the
brain is sequestered behind a barrier that excludes large molecules
such as antibodies. Exactly how antibodies get into the brain and
effect changes in behavior and function is poorly understood.
Recent reports help to fill that void. Using mice that were
immunized to carry one of the principal antibodies found in lupus
patients, investigators led by Betty Diamond at Columbia University
Medical Center report that infection or stress can allow the
antibodies to penetrate specific parts of the brain, killing neurons
and changing behavior.
The authors had previously shown that most of the 1.4 million people
with lupus in the United States carry antibodies against
double-stranded DNA. Some of these antibodies cross-react with
proteins, particularly a string of five amino acids:
aspartate-tryptophan-glutamate-tyrosine-serine, or DWEYS, to use
their one-letter abbreviations. The team searched the database to
find proteins with that sequence and found two parts of a receptor
for the neurotransmitter glutamate: the NR2A and NR2B subunits of
the so-called NMDA variety of glutamate receptor.
Injecting the DWEYS peptide into mice caused them to develop
antibodies similar to those found in lupus patients, but the
antibodies had no immediate effect on cells or behavior, presumably
because they were excluded from the central nervous system by the
blood-brain barrier. But this defense can be compromised, by head
trauma, bacterial toxins, osmotic changes or stress in the form of a
spike in adrenaline. In a recent paper (Immunity, August
2004), Diamond and her colleagues used an injection of
lipopolysaccharide, a bacterial endotoxin, to breach the barrier and
allow antibodies to cross into the mice's brains. The antibodies
bound to neurons in the hippocampus, a structure rich with NMDA
receptors, and killed a significant number of cells within a week.
Not surprisingly, those mice scored worse than controls on memory
tests that require the hippocampus; performance on non-hippocampal
tasks was normal. The lipopolysaccharide had no effect on mice that
had not been immunized with the DWEYS peptide.
The scientists determined just how the cells died by giving the mice
memantine (which blocks the NMDA receptor) prior to opening the
blood-brain barrier: The neurons were spared, and behavior was
normal. This result shows that the cause of cell death was
overstimulation of the NMDA receptors. The neurons didn't die
because the antibodies incurred the wrath of the immune system; they
died because their uninterrupted firing was toxic.
The follow-up paper was published online January 4 in
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The
study design was similar, except that the authors used an injection
of epinephrine (adrenaline) rather than a mock bacterial infection
to penetrate the blood-brain barrier. Surprisingly, cells in the
hippocampus were spared. The mice did fine on memory tests and
behaved normally. But neurons in the amygdala were half dead. This
part of the brain regulates emotion—particularly
fear—and is essential for a Pavlovian behavioral task called
fear conditioning. In this test, mice are placed in a special cage
and conditioned to associate a mild electrical shock with
distinctive sensory cues such as novel smells, textures or sounds.
Later, when confronted with the same cues, the animals anticipate
the shock, get scared and freeze. But the mice with lupus antibodies
that received the adrenaline could not muster the same response of
fear. As before, memantine prevented the anatomical and behavioral
changes. Furthermore, treatment with a version of the DWEYS peptide
had a similar protective effect, presumably because it bound the
antibodies before they reached the NMDA receptor.
This story would be interesting enough by itself—preclinical
studies of a lupus drug based on the peptide are under way—but
the implications for other diseases are even bigger. Viruses,
bacteria, parasites and vaccines have all been implicated in
neuropsychiatric conditions, including schizophrenia and autism. But
scientists seldom know how or why an infection leads to behavioral
consequences. Clearly it is more than infection alone: Not every
person with toxoplasmosis develops schizophrenia, and not every
schizophrenic has antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii.
Diamond's results offer one example of how to connect these dots.

Miami man gets 15 years for human trafficking
Published: Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 9:02 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 9:02 a.m.
MIAMI — A Miami Beach man was sentenced to 15 years in prison for beating and strangling a woman he forced into prostitution.
The sentencing of 34-year-old Robert Burton on Tuesday marked the first conviction for the Miami-Dade Human Trafficking Unit.
The Miami Herald reports Burton forced at least six women into prostitution and fathered children with three of them. He faced similar charges in Nevada where he wasn't convicted.
Burton was accused of beating and choking a 31-year-old woman and abducting their 7-year-old son in 2011. Prosecutors say when police pulled Burton over and inquired about the two women in the car, the child said, "those are my daddy's hoes."
State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle says human trafficking is similar to domestic violence. She called it "affection — with torture."

Maintaining laziness
From HaskellWiki
One of Haskell's main features is non-strict semantics, which in is implemented by lazy evaluation in all popular Haskell compilers. However many Haskell libraries found on Hackage are implemented just as if Haskell would be a strict language. This leads to unnecessary inefficiencies, memory leaks and, we suspect, unintended semantics. In this article we want to go through some techniques on how to check lazy behaviour on functions, examples of typical constructs which break laziness without need, and finally we want to link to techniques that may yield the same effect without laziness.
1 Checking laziness
undefined, cycles
unit tests
2 Laziness breakers
2.1 Maybe, Either, Exceptions
2.2 Early decision
if then else
state monad
reader monad
2.3 Strict pattern matching in a recursionThe implementation of the
What happened? The reason was a too strict pattern matching.
Consider the following correct implementation:
partition :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> ([a], [a]) partition p = foldr (\x ~(y,z) -> if p x then (x : y, z) else (y, x : z)) ([],[])
2.4 List reversalAny use of the list function
since when you access the first element of a reversed list, then all nodes of the input list must be evaluated and stored in memory. Think twice whether it is really needed. The article Infinity and efficiency shows how to avoid list reversal.
3 Alternatives
From the above issues you see that it laziness is a fragile thing. Only one moment where you do not pay attention and a function, carefully developed with laziness in mind, is no longer lazy, when you call it. The type system can almost not help you hunting laziness breakers and there is little support by debuggers. Thus detection of laziness breakers, often requires understanding of a large portion of code, which is against the idea of modularity. Maybe for your case you might prefer a different idiom, that achieves the same goals in a safer way. See e.g. the Enumerator and iteratee pattern.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Samson has been surprisingly doing okay. We are giving him the rest of the raw pancreas on his food with green beans no rice. He hadn't been too bad with gas or poop or eating the poop! He's off one of the medicines which is why I am a little skeptical. I'm still praying and need to get talking with the vet about the tylan!
|Hi Devon, just wanted to check in to see how Samson is doing?
B12 shots and Tylan powder been tried?
Near UPENN - if that isn't where you are going that might be a good thing to do.
Agree - this is not the kind of poop that can be held - it's a poopslosion. Let us know.
Sometimes EPI treatment can get a bit tricky. I had my girl on PancrePlus tabs for over a year, then switched to powder (more than 4x the cost, might I add) and everything went straight to heck. I / we toughed it out on the powder for two weeks - she started getting up 3-5x a night, alternating constipation and diarrhea, etc.; finally I said ENOUGH and begged our old vet to send us one more bottle of PancrePlus (despite the fact that we'd started with a new vet). He was kind enough to do so but the symptoms still haven't resolved - blood in the stool for ten days now, free from parasites per lab, still getting up multiple times a night.
All that to say that you are not alone and sometimes these things are not so simple, and I feel horrible for everyone involved - your dog, you, your parents, everyone.
If Sampson is on steroids and enzymes, it sounds like there are maybe two conditions (EPI and colitis, perhaps??), which further complicates things. How much have you experimented with his diet? Even though he is getting enzymes, he could have a hard time digesting a certain macronutrient. For example, my gal has trouble digesting fats, so I feed her a low-fat food and she never gets peanut butter, cheese, beef, fatty cuts of chicken, etc. Maybe there is something like that at play?
Also, you said:
Right now he has runny unformed poop, he eats his poop, has a very strong appetite, when off his steroids he has a gurgly stomach and is gasy, he has recently pooped wide in the house and that's what has sent my parents over the edge
|The only thing that ever worked for us was Hill's Prescription Ultra ZD food. Bob
That info helps a lot
I am glad you are joining the EPI group, they are so knowledgeable and helpful.
I see several possibilities of what might be going on with Sampson but the members over on epi4dogs will get you going.
I don't have any experience with feeding raw pancreas so I don't know if maybe he is not getting enough. Have your parents considered trying the enzymes from Diane? Enzyme Diane -
Take a look at the SIBO page: SID (SIBO) - EPI * Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency
Also the B12 in EPI dogs can drop very quickly so he might be dealing with low B12 too. Some people have good luck with supplementing B12 levels with these pills: TRINFAC-B Intrinsic Factor
Samson's B12 levels need to be 600 or higher. The B12 pills didn't work for Nikki so she gets weekly injections.
I think there is hope for Samson if your parents would be willing to give him some more time.
|@Heidigsd yes the vet has confirmed him with epi. I was misinformed before but my mom said he definitely has it. I am setting up an account at epi4dogs right now. We live near Philadelphia PA, USA. The vet we go to was recommended for epi help. Right now he has runny unformed poop, he eats his poop, has a very strong appetite, when off his steroids he has a gurgly stomach and is gasy, he has recently pooped wide in the house and that's what has sent my parents over the edge, his weight seems to be pretty steady but he still has plenty of energy and loves people. He doesn't moop around or lay/sleep all the time. We feed him grain free nutrosource food twice a day with raw pancreas mixed in with green beans and rice. He has not been treated for tylan but has received b12 shots but is not currently.
Ok Devon...I just read your other post. Did your vet ever run the blood test to confirm EPI like it was suggested? I would have the test for EPI done first to either confirm or rule it out before I would go for a biopsy. Have the vet run the Cobalamin/Folate test at the same time.
EPI test: Serum Trypsin-Like Immunoreactivity (TLI) - Texas A&M Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences
Cobalamin/Folate: Serum Cobalamin (Vitamin B12) and Folate - Texas A&M Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences
Did you go over to "epi4dogs" to get help? Where are you located, maybe someone can recommend a vet that is familiar with EPI in your area?
What are his symptoms exactly? What are you feeding him, how much, how often. What enzymes are you using and how much does he get with each meal and how do you prepare it? Has he ever been treated with Tylan for SIBO? Is he getting B12 injections?
Wow.....I guess i was lucky....I had no idea EPI could get so severe....wonder if there are other issues going on as well..maybe SIBO and severe B12 deficiency??? Many times these conditions accompany EPI.
My GSD with EPI...once diagnosed, was fairly easy to keep healthy and at an adequate weight....as I said earlier...I must have been lucky.
I used the enzymes as well.....ground her kibble in a blender...put the enzymes in the food with some warm water, mixed it thoroughly and let it sit for a spell before feeding her. I do recall the more of the food you could get in contact with the enzymes, supposedly that was the best way to go as ALL the food mostly was somewhat "predigested" and breaking down before she ate her meal.
I know there are others in this forum who have experience as well with an EPI dog....hopefully they can add some helpful info.
I wish I could help as it seems a shame to have to put Samson down solely because of EPI.
I am sorry to hear that Samson is having problems. I would recommend joining Forum - EPI * Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency ASAP.
They will need to know as much info as possible on how Samson is being treated for the EPI so they can help. Sometimes these EPI dogs just need some adjustments to their schedule or they may be dealing with SIBO or low B12 that hasn't been addressed.
You can also reach "epi4dogs" on Facebook if that is easier but please don't put him down https://www.facebook.com/pages/epi4d...24586920926094

Posted by Heidi Shey on September 12, 2012
I spent a jam-packed day with security software and services provider AVG last week, checking out their 2013 product line-up for free antivirus and paid premium products, and participating in roundtable discussions with press, analysts, and AVG executives about consumer security, mobile, privacy and policy. Here are my reactions to what AVG is doing:
LOVE: Outside in perspective, from both a micro and macro perspective. Most vendors will do and mention the importance of customer experience and feedback, but AVG hammered the point home in every _single_ conversation. On a macro level, AVG is very sophisticated about privacy. They are actively engaged in conversations with governments, are sensitive to the complexity that comes with balancing privacy and national security objectives, and closely follow global privacy policy developments and implications for consumers. Maybe I haven't been connecting with the right folks from other vendors, but I don't have these types of conversations often outside of an academic setting.
LIKE: Consumer data (yes, I'm biased here, being the data nerd). AVG has lots of it and it's all free. This is awesome because it's a great resource not just for the industry but for other parties to use in education and awareness program design. They've done studies across 11 countries for their Digital Diaries studies, surveying parents and kids of different age brackets from 0 to 17 to understand online behaviors and attitudes. Here's a data nugget that caught my attention: by the time they are two years old, 81% of children have some kind of digital footprint (online photographs, personal data, email and/or social networking accounts). 81%!

Stacey Cole's Nature Talks: Clumsy on ground, turkey vulture is an aerial wizard
October 11. 2013 9:50PM
After reading a Sept. 14 letter from one of our Milford readers, perhaps the same could be said of a turkey vulture.
To give that perspective on the subject, I quote from my favorite New Hampshire ornithologist, Tudor Richards. In his "A List of the Birds of New Hampshire," published in April of 1938, by the Audubon Society of New Hampshire, he wrote: "Turkey Vulture — Occasional visitor, reported every few years in southern New Hampshire. Late March — October."
When aloft their great wings are two-toned, black near the fore-wing, gray at wing tips and hind-wing.
Although they look black and bulky close up, it is their bald, red heads that declaim against them.
Immature birds may not appear quite so uncomely, however, for they have blackish heads.

What is Hirschsprung's disease?
Hirschsprung* disease (HD) is a disease of the large intestine that causes severe constipation or intestinal obstruction. Constipation means stool moves through the intestines slower than usual. Bowel movements occur less often than normal and stools are difficult to pass. Some children with Hirschsprung disease can't pass stool at all, which can result in the complete blockage of the intestines, a condition called intestinal obstruction. People with Hirschsprung disease are born with it and are usually diagnosed when they are infants. Less severe cases are sometimes diagnosed when a child is older. An Hirschsprung disease diagnosis in an adult is rare.
What are the large intestine, colon, rectum, and anus?
The large intestine, which includes the colon and rectum, is the last part of the digestive tract. The large intestine's main job is to absorb water and hold stool. The rectum connects the colon to the anus. Stool passes out of the body through the anus. At birth, the large intestine is about 2 feet long. An adult's large intestine is about 5 feet long.
Why does Hirschsprung's disease cause constipation?
People with Hirschsprung disease have constipation because they lack nerve cells in a part or all of the large intestine. The nerve cells signal muscles in the large intestine to push stool toward the anus. Without a signal to push stool along, stool will remain in the large intestine.
- In a healthy large intestine the nerve cells are found throughout the large intestine.
- Short-segment Hirschsprung disease. Nerve cells are missing from the last segment of the large intestine.
- Long-segment Hirschsprung disease. Nerve cells are missing from most or all of the large intestine and sometimes the last part of the small intestine.
How severe Hirschsprung disease is depends on how much of the large intestine is affected. Short-segment Hirschsprung disease means only the last part of the large intestine lacks nerve cells. Long-segment Hirschsprung disease means most or all of the large intestine, and sometimes the last part of the small intestine, lacks nerve cells.
In a person with Hirschsprung disease, stool moves through the large intestine until it reaches the part lacking nerve cells. At that point, the stool moves slowly or stops, causing an intestinal obstruction.
What causes Hirschsprung's disease?
Before birth, a child's nerve cells normally grow along the intestines in the direction of the anus. With Hirschsprung disease, the nerve cells stop growing too soon. Why the nerve cells stop growing is unclear. Some Hirschsprung disease is inherited, meaning it is passed from parent to child through genes. Hirschsprung disease is not caused by anything a mother did while pregnant.

Attorneys at Law
510 West 6th Street
Joplin, MO 64801
(417) 206-0100
(866) 836-0100
Family and good health. Regardless of recessions or depressions, the value of family and good health can never be doubted.
Unfortunately, at Johnson, Vorhees & Martucci we see everyday how fast lives can be changed, shattered, or ended. Each day our Joplin accident attorneys work to help those who have been harmed because of the fault of another recover from insurance companies or corporations who deny them justice. It helps to know your rights, it helps to find answers to those questions, and it helps to have someone on your side. You don't have to face it alone.
At Johnson, Vorhees & Martucci we concentrate our practice in the area of catastrophic or serious injury and wrongful death cases. We are proud to be trial attorneys who will stand with you in the courtroom when insurance companies or corporations won't accept responsibility and pay for the harms they have caused. When you are faced with a personal injury or death, you need a team of Joplin personal injury lawyers with the dedication, ability, and work ethic to see your case to the end.
From the first free visit, each attorney at Johnson, Vorhees & Martucci explains there is no way any personal injury client will pay one dime out of their pocket to Johnson, Vorhees & Martucci - we only get paid when you recover. If the client does not recover, then the firm does not get paid. Unlike other firms in the area, Johnson, Vorhees & Martucci does not make the client pay all the expenses. Johnson and Vorhees has a continuous commitment to quality personal service. Scott Vorhees gives out his cell number to make sure clients can reach him at all hours, and Roger Johnson relentlessly burns the midnight oil. Reaching any of the attorneys after hours is rarely a problem as they all regularly return emails when the office doors are closed. These are just a few of the many examples of how each client knows that this firm is committed to them.
Clients always decide whether or not to accept any settlement offers and are always kept informed about major decisions in their cases. And if no settlement can be reached, Johnson and Vorhees will try cases.
If you or a loved one are seriously injured, the insurance company may not answer your questions or offer you fair value for your harms. Instead they may try and settle early and for less than the full value. Don't settle for less - whether it's deciding on an attorney or a settlement amount.

Inspired by Los Angeles Times writer Leslie Gornstein's article "A Jinx in a Box," this horror film from Ghost House Pictures and director Ole Bornedal (Nightwatch) tells the tale of a broken family that comes under attack from a malevolent supernatural entity of Jewish folklore. Shortly after her parents (Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Kyra Sedgwick) divorce, a young girl purchases an ornate antique box at a yard sale. In the weeks that follow, the young girl forms an intense fixation on the box, her behavior growing increasingly bizarre as she falls into the grip of a diabolical apparition. When the girl's father discovers that the relic is in fact a holding cell for the disconnected soul of a deceased person who has been denied entry into the afterlife and needs a human host to inhabit, he fights to rid her of the evil that threatens to consume her body and soul. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Hi all,
I got my Tandy Leather Factory Catalogue today. I know I'm in the UK, but found the company has a base in the Uk as well as having most of the stores in the USA.
Was wondering if anybody knows what colour leather is used for the ammo belt, gun holsters and girth belt. Which pages and colour specific in relation to the catalogue would be fantastic to know.
Am after the right colour in relation to Jango Fett in the movie Episode 2, Attack of the Clones.
If any other bits are purchased from Tandy please let me know.
Thansk all

No hunters, huh? That's pretty amazing for a gun forum.
My family has had a decent year, hunting. My 7 year old grandson shot a small buck and a doe, his first ever, during youth season, using an H&R HandiRifle, in .223, with the new Barnes loaded ammo. Both were one-shot kills, so we were very proud of him.
His older brother, 9 yo, only got one this year, but he was a monster for our area, a 10 point that measured 20" between the main beams. By comparison, his father (my SIL) and I both shot very nice 9 points that were our personal best bucks, and neither measured over 16". He was using an old Remington Model 788, that had no magazine, which effectively reduced it to a single shot, in .243. He had to take a very hard shot, with the buck facing him, from 110 yards. He nailed him in the base of the neck, and dropped him clean...by far, the best shot on the best deer, of any of our circle of hunting acquaintances. His dad and I were very proud of him for staying calm and getting the job done right.
In addition to the 9 point, I also shot a 'cull' buck, because I just love to eat them, that was a large fat deer with a very ugly 3 point rack. I'm going again, this last week of the season, because I have room in the freezer for another one, probably a cull, again, unless a real monster screws up and stumbles past me. I use a 45 year old Model 70 Winchester, in .30-06, with a Nikon Buckmaster 4.5-14x40. My other family members have finished deer hunting and are after ducks, now, and having good success.
I'll be heading out to far west Texas, in January, for the tail end of late dove season and some blue quail, hopefully, and probably do some squirrel hunting when I return home. Feral hogs, of course, are always targets of opportunity, in Texas, and can be shot any time of day or night, all year round, so I'll have my eyes peeled for them, too.
How has your hunting been?
No hunters, huh? That's pretty amazing for a gun forum.
My father had a good year and got a forky during deer season and a nice 6 point bull elk 2 hours into opening day of elk season. He's still got the knack at 73. Not sure of the specs on it although he is getting it checked out for boon and crocket. Very nice rack even if it doesn't prove to be a record holder. Broad, thick tines and very evenly distributed side to side.
Overall a good trip and I got to see a surprising amount of game. Wild turkeys and a large herd of Antelope several times over the course of 2 weeks during deer season. Rather unusual and rare to see in the woods in Eastern Oregon. Overall a good year just need to make sure my gear is squared away this next season. Sounds like you and yours had a good season. Good to know.
Ive shot seven doe's so far this season here in SC. Most of them was with a Marlin XL7 30-06, but two of them got the Marlin 45-70. Our season is over at the end of the month. Its hogs after that.....

Elderly Woman Told She Can't Fly American Flags
An elderly New Jersey woman claims her Constitutional rights are being violated after a local public housing authority ordered her to remove three small American flags from the balcony of her apartment and an expert on Constitutional law said she may have a case.
"I hung my flags out and they sent a maintenance man to take them down," Dawn Paulus, of Phillipsburg, NJ, told Fox News Radio. "I left my flag up anyway."
The 75-year-old said she has no intention of removing the flags – even though the Phillipsburg Housing Authority said the display violates the terms of her lease.
"He told me that I can't have the flags because of the Nazi flags," she said. "If I hung the American flag up and someone hung a Nazi flag up they couldn't tell them to take the Nazi flag down and still let me fly the American flag."
Paul Rummerfield, the executive director of the Phillipsburg Housing Authority, told Fox News Radio that under the Fair Housing Act they can't discriminate when it comes to the kinds of flags tenants fly.
"Once you allow anyone to hang the American flag or any flag, then you have no recourse when someone hangs a flag that may be objectionable, such as a pirate or Confederate flag," Rummerfield told The Express-Times newspaper.
However, he told Fox News Radio the issue with Paulus has nothing to do with the Fair Housing Act.
"It has everything to do with lease enforcement," he said. "Tenants are not allowed to hang anything on the balcony."
Rummerfield said there was also a safety issue. He said Paulus' apartment is on the sixth floor. He said there were concerns the flags might fall.
"It's not so much the flag as the bracket coming loose that we're concerned about," he said.
Brad Jacob, a constitutional law expert at Regent University, told Fox News Radio that Paulus may have a winnable case should she take the housing authority to court.
"This is so much of a core free speech issue," he said. "I would think the government would need a stronger justification."
Jacob said if Paulus lived in a private apartment complex she would not have a case because it would be a matter of abiding by a private contract.
"Because it's the government the First Amendment comes into play," he said. "Flying the flag is one of the purest examples of First Amendment speech and expression. It clearly implicates Constitutional issues when the government tries to tell you that you cannot speak."
Jacob said the housing authority also runs into trouble with their outright ban on all flags.
"Their justification is we must ban all because some of it will offend," he said. "Traditionally, that's a losing argument. Traditionally, free speech wins out. And if someone is offended at another person's speech, they're just offended."
Rummerfield called Paulus a good tenant and suggested that she "purchase a little table top flag" instead.
"We fly an American flag down at that facility," he said. "It's not about patriotism or respect for the flag or veterans. We recognize our residents' patriotism by flying a flag."
Paulus said residents are allowed to hang laundry over their porch railings – but not the American flag.
"These veterans fought for us for freedom and now you can't even fly the flag for them," she said.
But if she does not take the flags down, Rummerfield said she could be in violation of her lease – and that could possibly lead to eviction.
Paulus, who lives on a low income, said she hopes it doesn't come to that.
"If I do, I don't know where I'll go," she said. "I just want to stand up for my rights, that's all."

Gee-Whiz Geoengineering
Here are a few of the problems that need to be worked out: There's the issue of the effect of the aerosols on stratospheric chemistry (think how unanticipated the chemistry of the Ozone Hole was), and the question of just where the aerosols would go once injected. There's the question of the effect of the aerosols as cloud-condensation nuclei if they work their way into the tropical upper troposphere — an increase in high cirrus clouds could well lead to warming. Then, there's the full range of possible effects on the atmospheric circulation. Held and collaborators (PNAS 2006) have implicated the joint effect of aerosols and greenhouse gases in the trend towards Sahel drought, and generally there are issues in what inhomogeneous aerosol forcing might do to things like the North Atlantic Oscillation. Also, a planet with a dim Sun and high CO2 is not the same thermodynamically as a planet with brighter Sun and lower CO2, because the reduced sunlight at the surface is not able to sustain as much evaporation, which has consequences for global rainfall. In a recent essay in Le Monde, Edouard Bard has pointed out additional problems with geoengineering.
In my mind, the most serious peril of sulfate geoengineering is one that stems from a problem that is not at all in dispute: the fact that the lifetime of CO2 in the atmosphere is centuries to millennia, whereas the lifetime of aerosols in the stratosphere is at best a few years. That means committing the future generations to continue the aerosol injection basically every year more or less forever. We're banking a lot on confidence in future stability and prosperity of the world here. A patrician in the glory days of the Roman Empire might well have expected the Pax Romana to go on forever, but really nobody expects a Dark Age.
One also has to wonder whether the international treaties and organizations needed to agree on and execute a geoengineering scheme are significantly easier to realize than the agreements needed to decarbonize the energy future, which would offer safer and more durable climate protection. And once you open the Pandora's box of geoengineered climate, what do you do if nations disagree about what kind of climate they want, or if some poor nation objects to suffering drought in order to cancel heat waves in Chicago? Great fodder for science fiction novels about climate wars, but I'd prefer not to have to think about it happening for real.
The problem is that geoengineering a sunshade is being sold as insurance long before anybody has any idea whether it would work and what the unintended consequences would be. It's not really insurance. It's more like building a lifeboat, but a lifeboat based on a design that has never been used before which has to work more or less perfectly the first time the panicked passengers are loaded into it. The problem is that by the time we know enough to have any confidence at all in this lifeboat, CO2 may have risen to the point where the lifeboat becomes not just a backup, but a necessity. Would diverting 1% of the world's climate research funds into this problem clarify the issues in time? I doubt it. Would devoting 10% a year to the problem be worth it? I doubt that, too, in comparison to more pressing research needs.
Now, can we please get back to the serious business of trying to figure out how to economically reduce global CO2 emissions?

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by dba, Oct 28, 2009.
I was just being facetious.
His PER is pretty good. He'd be right behind Drummond, Monroe, and Calderon on our team. If we would have kept Afflalo and Amir and passed on the renewals of Stuckey and Maxiell, I think it would have worked out better. But we'd still be in need of some alpha dogs.
Amir needs a running team. He'd be great with Golden State.
Those darn ESPN Darling Lakers were down by 25 in the third quarter and about to fall 2 under .500 and 2.5 games out of the playoffs, when the NOLA Hornets Falcons played dead in the last 6 minutes of the game and allowed the Lakers to close the game on a 20-0 run and win the game by by 6. It was 102-88 with about 6 minutes left in the game and the Hornets left lakers scrub Jodie Meeks open long enough to hit three treys in a 2 minute span and Kobe and World Peace also hit one during that same run.. Kobe had 42 points and 12 pts, becoming the first Laker to accomplish since Magic in 1985. Dwight Howard had 20 points 12 boards and 4 blocks including 2 in the last 2 mins to keep the NOLA scoreless. Not sure what was more disappointing tonight the Nola collapse, ( I don't want to see Kobefakers in the playoffs), the Piston loss, or the Magic blowing a 3 pt lead with 3o seconds left in the game allowing Lebron to score the winning basket with 3 seconds left.
You will probably see the highlights on ESPN Lakers Network, but once again Kobe victimizes the defense of a non playoff team hitting three treys in the last 101 seconds including 2 in the last 29 seconds and then the game tying three with 5 seconds left to take the game into OT. Why teams don't grab this guy when he is out beyond the arc is beyond me. He scored four of their 9 points in OT including the game winning jam with 10 seconds left. Kobe finished with a near triple double 41 pts, 12 assists and 9 turnovers. If you recall he had 42 and 12 vs the Hornets on Wednesday's comeback. This time the Lakers were down 11 to start the 4th qtr and still down 6 with less that 3 mins to go. The Raptors Rudy Gay did not help the cause missing the game winning shot at the end of regulation and then the game tying shot at the end of the OT. He was Kobe like 7/ 26 shooting from the floor. Looks like Kobe's prediction that they will make the playoffs will come to fruition as they are now only a half game behind the jazz who maintained 2 pt lead over the Bulls for the last minute of the game only to give a 3 pt dagger game winner to Marco Belinelli with only 6 seconds left in the game. It's like the NBA gods (ESPN) want the Lakers in the playoffs and all of the teams ahead of them are losing and Kobe is playing MVP ball to get them there. The only thing to prevent them from getting there is injury to Kobe.. I am sure the Clippers or the Spurs don't want to play them in a first round match-up if they are still playing like this in April. ..
Antonio McDyess, Chauncey Billups.
Because usually he bricks those shots but instead of showing Kobe throw away the game by playing hero ball ESPN shows highlights that fit some other narrative the viewers are familiar with.
DHoward returned back to Orlando for the first time since he escaped to LA and scored 39 points. The Magic plan of Hack-a-Howard backfired as he was 25-39 from the free throw line. The 39 FT attempts tied his own FT record. The Lakers have practiced getting wins on inferior teams or teams missing key players. Playoffs here they come unless Kobe breaks a leg.
Rubio triple doubles without Love, Pekovic, and Kirilenko to take down the Spurs by 24 points! If Rubio wouldn't have scored, it still would have been enough. * Spurs without Parker, Duncan, and Leonard.
Are they tanking ?
Pretty funny that they go hack a ho and he puts up 39 points in his revenge game.
Kobe out indefinitely... Time for last rites......... Kobe Bryant out indefinitely after suffering severe left ankle sprain in Lakers loss to Hawks (VIDEO) | Ball Don't Lie - Yahoo! Sports
Watching the Clippers and Grizzlies in the battle for 3rd place in the west. Tay the Grizz scored 12 of the Memphis first 20 points on 6 of 8 shooting and sat down and did not shoot or score again until the third quarter. He did however get point # 10,000 in his career in that first half as did Cp3. Congrats to both...One has a ring and the other is a lock for the HOF. The Grizz are 14-4 since Jan 3oth....thanks partly to Tay and Daye and no Gay....
And the easiest schedule in the NBA over that stretch....
Well I didn't wish this upon him, but if the severe sprain lasts for more than two weeks....it may be over for them. But alas.....I could see Kobe coming back on Friday...just because...the x-rays were negative...and he plays through anything when it comes to trying to win
and frustrating the Clippers right now as the team that was up 30 on the Pistons just three days ago are down 10 to the Grizz near the end of the third.
For the current #3 seed in the West, the Grizzlies are not talked about very much. If it wasn't for the Heat, Memphis would probably be the hottest team in the league.
Did Jones deliberately hurt Kobe? It looks like he stuck his leg out much like Eric Snow did to Chauncey a long time ago.
I agree with Kobe on this one. The defensive player needs to be responsible and not slide under a jump shooter's feet. It's a cheap shot and a dirty play, in my opinion.
Bruce Bowen-like.
