Vail Daily letter: Drenched in laws
February 10, 2013
It was written that the number of laws relating to crimes and handed down to Moses was 10, and those were manifested in 10 pages (tablets). In the archives of the federal government, it is estimated that there are about 5,000 statutory laws relating to criminal behavior, and of that count no one really knows for sure, as they are reposed in 50 separate titles of around 65,000 pages.
Beyond these tomes are the federal criminal regulations that have been manufactured, hatched or promulgated by the various federal agencies. These number anywhere from between 10,000 and 300,000. Again, no one knows for sure, since they are contained in about 165,000 pages of the Code of Federal Regulations.
Not taking into account the 16,000 new IRS officers established by the Affordable Health Care enactment and there are around 138,000 federal law enforcement officers tasked to administer and enforce these federal statutes and regulations.
In addition to federal law, Colorado residents suffer the oppressive burden of state statutes, regulations and ordinances that have been fomented by the Legislature (statutes), state regulatory agencies (regulations), the county of Eagle (ordinances), and whatever municipality (ordinances) that may have jurisdiction over you at the moment.
Again, these criminal proscriptions are too numerous and convoluted to compile for this letter to the editor. Needless to say, at any moment in time, the number remains a mystery and ephemeral. What, with the State Patrol, Colorado Bureau of Investigation, district attorneys' investigators, county sheriff's and municipal police personnel, enforcement of these state and local laws are well-prosecuted.
Does all of this make you, the citizen, feel really protected? It is humanly impossible for any American to have digested and become cognizant of all these laws and regulations, whether he be a layman, police officer, attorney or judge. If you accept that premise, then you come to realize that one of the great fictions and charades of our system of jurisprudence is the myth that "ignorance is no defense of the law."
The consequences or effects of this ignorance are applied discriminatorily and unequally between the private citizen and those public officials seeking to enforce the law (even if they are unaware of it) because of another judicial fiction – sovereign immunity! As a member of a law enforcement agency, one is not accountable for his violation of another's civil rights no matter the degree of injury. Owing to these fictions, can it be said that we are protected by the law, that we have civil and constitutional rights, that all men are created equally or that we are free?
If the private individual or citizen can come to realize that he does live in a world of political and legal fantasy, then he will develop the tolerance to accept the result of an election that is partly corrupt, mostly a fantasy and completely the result of illiteracy. Fantasy is soothing to the soul!

Yes, it is certainly a good development. They can conduct virtual janata Darshan through blogs...
Why Laloo has started a blog with such a big URL..he could have started something like lalooprasad.com
@Madhu Rao,
Thanks for the wishes...

Congratulations Nidhi. Ministers being tech savvy opens up wide opportunities for them to reach most number of people. Hope this trend catches up else where too.

- Shrinidhi Hande said...
Well, Dr Acharya is a man of medicine and has been advocate of healthy food habits.
Well, SM Krishna doesn't need High Command permission to open a blogger account... Or may be his admin (Sonia Gandhi) hasn't given him enough privileges so that he can publish his posts...
Thanks. We'll hope the trend catches up.

Respected Sir,
I being a responsible citizen and having a great respect towards our constitution request you to intervene immediately in the following issue which is currently handled by your people very badly.
We all are working for one of the leading and oldest bank in south India, M/s Dhanalakshmi Bank Ltd, M G Road Bank. Being a bank employee we carry huge amount of responsibility towards this society. But during last month there was an incident where customers debit card was misused by some one and bank is investigating the same through their own systems. In the mean time customer has BRIBED your people Mr. Thammanna(Inspector) and Mr. Dhananjaya(Sub inspector) heavily... These two gentleman's are born and brought up in Karnataka, They have eaten our food and shelter but now they are supporting that non kannadiga jus for his Enjelu kasu...
Sir, we are ready to support and cooperate in each and every investigation by your people but we request you to intervene and instruct your people not to harass bank employees and ask money from our people with all un- parliamentary and abusive language.
Sir, I am great fan of you and am following all your activities right from your RSS days. You are the one of the greatest Minister in karnataka history and you are known to be most public friendly minister.Kindly intervene and help us in solving this imm.
With Great Respect.
Bank employee

Contrary To Fox's Reporting, Fox's Krauthammer Admits Right-To-Work "Can Lead To Lower Wages"
In The Washington Post, Fox News contributor Charles Krauthammer admitted that right-to-work laws lead to lower wages for workers -- conflicting with the narrative promoted by Fox News that such laws increase wages.
In his column [1], Krauthammer claimed that recently passed right-to-work laws in Michigan were "inevitable" and that "the entire Rust Belt will eventually follow because the heyday of the sovereign private-sector union is gone." Krauthammer wrote that such laws could possibly bring down unemployment, but he also admitted that President Obama's statement that right-to-work laws give workers "the right to work for less money" was correct:
Principle and hypocrisy aside, however, the president's statement has some validity. Let's be honest: Right-to-work laws do weaken unions. And de-unionization can lead to lower wages.
Obama calls this a race to the bottom. No, it's a race to a new equilibrium that tries to maintain employment levels, albeit at the price of some modest wage decline. It is a choice not to be despised.
I have great admiration for the dignity and protections trade unionism has brought to American workers. I have no great desire to see the private-sector unions defenestrated.
Krauthammer is right about the wage effects of right-to-work laws. Studies have consistently found [2] that right-to-work laws lead to lower wages and benefits for workers. The Economic Policy Institute found [3] that right-to-work laws "are associated with significantly lower wages and reduced chances of receiving employer-sponsored health insurance and pensions."
Krauthammer's admission conflicts with the narrative coming from his Fox News colleagues since the Michigan right-to-work legislation was passed:
- Fox guest Matt McCall suggested [4] right-to-work laws bolstered wages and reduced unemployment.
- Fox News' Ailsyn Camerota twice repeated a false claim about salaries in right-to-work states when she argued [5] that workers in these states made an average of $7,000 a year more than in non-right-to-work states.
- Fox Business' Charles Payne disagreed [6] with the president's characterization of right-to-work laws as "you the right to work for less money," commenting that right-to-work raises compensation because "if there is a lot of prosperity, more people will have the opportunity to make a whole lot of money."

Priscilla Herdman
Herdman was born in Eastchester, NY, on February 11, 1948, the daughter of Raymond C. Herdman and Ellen (Saunders) Herdman. She recorded her debut album, The Water Lily, in 1976, and released it in 1977. (It has since been reissued on Rounder Records' Philo imprint.) The album had a distinctly Australian influence, containing musical settings of seven poems by Australian poet Henry Lawson (1867-1922) among its 11 selections, as well as a cover of Eric Bogle's "The Band Played 'Waltzing Matilda'," an antiwar song concerning the massacre of Australian soldiers at Gallipoli during World War I.
Herdman released her second album, Forgotten Dreams, on Flying Fish in 1980. In addition to familiar songs like the Depression-era standard "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?" and covers of songs by well-known songwriters Randy Newman, Tom Waits, and James Taylor, Herdman also sang compositions by folksingers Bogle, Lui Collins, and Stan Rogers. In 1982, Herdman and her husband, Dick Hermans, an environmental activist, moved from Philadelphia to Pine Plains, NY. Her third album, 1983's Seasons of Change, had two more Rogers songs as well as selections by folksingers Si Kahn, David Mallett, Fred Small, and Judy Small.
In between its release and the appearance of her fourth album, Darkness into Light, in the summer of 1987, Herdman gave birth to a daughter, Suzanna, in 1985, and that influenced the recording of the LP, which Herdman acknowledged as "definitely my post-baby album," adding, "A lot of things which had been important became stronger feelings in me after giving birth." Selections included another Lawson poem, "When the Children Come Home," and a medley combining Malvina Reynolds' "Turn Around" with the traditional Irish tune "The Gartan Mother's Lullaby." Critics as usual were impressed, with Billboard's reviewer writing, "Folk singer Herdman's placidly beautiful voice demands attention...."
The influence of motherhood continued on Herdman's fifth album, an outright children's collection released by Alcazam! Records called Star Dreamer: Nightsongs & Lullabies that was released in 1988. In 1990, she teamed with fellow folksingers Anne Hills and Cindy Mangsen for the Flying Fish release Voices, putting on disc a trio that had been performing together for several years. A second Herdman children's album, Daydreamer, appeared on the Music for Little People label in 1993. In 1995, Herdman finally got around to releasing another solo album for adults, Forever & Always. In addition to featuring the work of her folksinging colleagues Hills, Mallett, Bill Staines, John McCutcheon, and Cathy Fink, it also included Billy Joel's "And So It Goes" and covers of "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" and "The Water Is Wide."
The trio of Herdman, Hills, and Mangsen reconvened for the holiday-themed live album Voices of Winter, released by Gadfly Records in October 1997, and Herdman's third children's collection, Moondreamer, appeared on Redwing in April 1998. The third Herdman/Hills/Mangsen trio album, At the Turning of the Year, was released by Hand & Hand in October 2000; it was another seasonal collection. In May 2003, Redwing released Herdman's sixth adult solo album and 12th album overall, The Road Home. ~ William Ruhlmann

"This card came out beautifully. I was able to use the portions of the photos that I wanted as well as enhance several smaller photos to make a bolder statement. The card's paper quality was excellent. One suggestion, I like to write a short note on the back of the cards. Because of the black base color of the card it would be extra nice if Tinyprints offered the purchase of a gold gel pen with the order."
"The cards felt of quality in your hands. They were not only beautiful with a black and white photo, they looked elegant and felt elegant."
"High quality paper, which has a nice weight and feel. Perfect for those of us who did not get regular seasonal cards out on time."
"I know I rely on Tinyprints to deliver a quality product on time that is also beautiful. I love that I can edit so much of the card unlike other companies."
"I loved the way the picture took up the whole card with cheerful overprinting of text. In combination with the animated expressions on my grandsons' faces, the text gave the perfect enthusiastic greeting."

Welcome to Golden Goals - a FREE video series on USA.Arsenal.com which showcases some of the finest goals in Arsenal's history.
Each of our weekly clips will feature footage of a classic goal plus expert analysis from former Gunner Stewart Robson and Arsenal.com editor Richard Clarke.
Our series continues with a cannon from Kanu against Chelsea in 1999.
Read on for the story of his goal and click the PLAY button above to watch our FREE video clip.
Kanu v Chelsea (A) 10-23-1999
Our countdown continues with a goal that was quintessential Kanu.
The goal itself was something to behold, but it was the circumstances that made it even more remarkable. After falling behind at Stamford Bridge, Kanu came off the bench to score twice, pulling Arsenal back from the brink of defeat.
And he wasn't done yet.
Marc Overmars intercepted a Chelsea pass on Arsenal's side and quickly found Davor Suker as Arsenal pushed forward. Kanu had drifted out left but Suker put far too much on his pass. The attack looked certain to break down.
But Kanu had other ideas. The Nigerian chased down the ball and got lucky as Albert Ferrer's attempted clearance cannoned off him and towards the Chelsea byline. The pouring rain made for fully-soaked pitch, which held the ball in-bounds.
Chelsea goalkeeper Ed de Goey raced out of his area to confront Kanu. Overmars and Suker were both screaming for a pass, but Kanu saw an opportunity. With one quick turn, he got by De Goey and fired from a seemingly impossible angle. The ball sailed into the top corner of the net, stunning the Chelsea defense.
A game winner and a 15-minute hat-trick. Not too shabby.

Hard Dinghys out there?
I once put a strip of wood with sunbrella fabrick under it and then took a foam noodle and trimmed a flat surface on it then folded the sunbrella over it and fastened it with another small strip of wood. It looked good and was a good bumper. I had to go back later and put another layer of fabric on it as it wore a bit.
Hard Dinghys out there?
Are Sumners still being manufactured? I almost bought one a long time back and haven''t seen one since. I bought a Montgomery 10 instead...it''s a better sailboat but the Sumner is a better dink for towing.
Hard Dinghys out there?
Ive got a Sumner 9 footer and I love it! Its flotation tanks run fore and aft along the sides so shell remain stable even when filled with water. She rows great, powers with a 2 HP like a dream and tows with surprisingly little strain on the pennant. The 9 is beamy and stable as it has the same hull as their 12 footer but the bow is rounded and very buoyant where the 12 has the more traditional pointed shape.
I screwed a piece of exterior carpeting (found in a dumpster at a flooring supply), bottom out along the shear, took an old piece of ½ inch line and rolled the carpet up over that then screwed it along the top of the gunnel. This has made for the best (and cheapest) rub rail Ive ever seen and it hasnt chewed any dings in my hull yet! I did replace the carpeting last spring as the old one was wearing out after 6 years of hard use!
I had painted her in the same scheme as the big boat, with a black hull. Along with the green carpet rub rail and round bow, she sort of brought to mind an egg plant, which is exactly what we named her: Eggplant!
Hard Dinghys out there?
We didn''t want to risk abraiding our inflateable, or haing it puncture ont he boarding ladder. So we made a doghnut of closed cell foam in a light canvas, attached with velcro loops. This would work well for a hard-dink too.
We used excess foam from making the new cuhions. So 1-1/2inch closed cell.
This is not going to be relevent to you, but our dink still deflates and packs down more or less as small as ever (still fits its bag and its locker despite the doughnut)
Hard Dinghys out there?
Can I add to the questions??? I have a hard dink, and don''t want to bash up the sides of my sailboat. Any suggestions on material I can use for replacing the rub rail on the dink? Or where I can find rub rail replacement material?
Hard Dinghys out there?
Thanks to everyone out there for your input. It seems we are close to choosing the 10 ft Walker Bay RID with the inflatable sponson. It appears to be comparable with the performance of inflatable RIBs, fairly durable, and comes in at about $2000 (cheaper than a RIB would cost you). With the inflatable sponson they look to be fairly stable.At 149 # they are a little heavy for their size but the 6 HP limit for the motor will keep me at 200# total weight which is in the range I was looking for since I have a sturdy arch system on the Manta 40.
The Livingston twin hull looked interesting, but looks like it wouldn''t be as stable. I''d could make a dinghy out of a plan kit (as I have made a Cedar Strip Kayak recently), but I have a transportation issue getting it from MI to FL for a reasonable cost when we set sail for a month. Yhe Carolina Skiff I just looked at were all too heavy (250#)and wouldn''t work as a dinghy. Although they looked nice for other uses.
Thanks again for your input.
Dave on soon to be ...s/v No More Mondays
Hard Dinghys out there?
Have any of you had experience with Carolina Skiffs? We are considering one instead of an inflatable. I''m not familiar with Dyers. How would they compare?
Hard Dinghys out there?
I''d say wait until the Walkers are 10-15yrs old and compare them with the glass dinks. My 10'' Montgomery glass dink came before my plastics and is still around after 30 yrs and 5 sailboats. My two plastics lasted a little over a year each when cruising in the Bahamas. They flexed a lot, work hardened and got brittle in a few places. Walkers flex more than mine did. I liked them for the lightweight but my experience didn''t show long life. I had a 4hp Johnson on them.
Don''t get me wrong, I like the Walkers and would consider one if my 10'' glass dink wouldn''t fit. The only question I have about Walkers is the wheel...does it really survive multiple beachings over rocks?
Hard Dinghys out there?
Walker Bay boats are available in both 8'' and 10'' versions,and are much less expensive than either inflatables or fiberglass boats. We''ve used a 10'' one for 3 years now and really like it. It has good load carrying ability, is stable, and can actually be rowed, though we use a small 3hp outboard most of the time. Contrary to what a previous post said, the molded plastic is much, much more durable than fiberglass (I know,I''ve had several glass dinghies). It can''t crack, it can be dragged across rocky beaches with no damage, and it can be left in the water for (relatively) long periods without fouling. They look good, too.
Hard Dinghys out there?
I have a Boss 8.5 and it weighs in at a shade under 125#. Capability of up to 15HP. Well built and stable. Not inexpensive but worth the investment to keep my wife happy. One would compliment yor Manta. Had the chance to look at one in Annapolis. Nice boat and I am sure you are a happy owner.

Vista Ridge student accused of putting Visine in salad dressing
D-49 says 20 students went home sick
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo - A Vista Ridge High School student is in trouble after he allegedly put Visine eye drops into salad dressing that was eaten by students at lunch on Monday.
Police cited the student on charges of "reckless endangerment" and "interference with staff, faculty, or students of an educational institution."
District 49 spokesperson Stephanie Wurtz said about 20 kids reported feeling nauseous after eating the dressing and went home sick.
"We understand that, if consumed in a large quantity, Visine could have some negative side affects like nausea, dizziness, low body temperature, so we were concerned," said Wurtz,
Wurtz said a student reported seeing a classmate put the Visine into the ranch dressing. She said the accused student said that there was only water in the Visine bottle. Authorities searched through the trash, but never located the bottle.
Students said they were surprised to hear the announcement that any students who ate ranch dressing at lunch should go see the nurse.
"We knew it was kind of serious because (the school official) was kind of freaking out a little bit over the announcement," said student Sam Kulka.
Kulka said he talked to friends of the accused student.
"I heard he only put a couple of drops into the ranch and that he wasn't trying to hurt anybody or anything," said Kulka. "That it was just kind of a joke."
Paramedics, police and firefighters were called to the school as a precaution. D-49 said that parents should contact a doctor and the school if their child shows symptoms of consuming Visine.

Food Maestro - truffles
December 18, 2013 , 9:49 AM by Elizabeth McKenzie
If you are looking to make that change from city living to an idyllic life in the country you might be looking for a farming venture that's not too labour intensive and has a high return on your investment. Truffles might be that perfect balance.
Andres Haas and his family were looking for a lifestyle change after a trip to Europe a few years ago and with little research and a lot of enthusiasm bought a property outside of Creswick to set up Black Cat Trufferie. They hadn't even tasted a truffle before they made the decision to start producing them.
While truffles can reach up to $2500 per kilo, growing them can be a tricky business. Andres told ABC Radio Statewide Drive Victoria he knows of Australian farmers that after more than a decade still haven't harvested a truffle.
"Full production should be by about year 12 year, we've had six years and about two years of production. So in another five or six years and we should have a reasonable income from it. Andres said. "A lot of trufferies fail, they don't actually produce anything at all...it's very high risk."

Don't estimate acceleration by fitting a quadratic…
And one needs to consider boundary effects at the beginning and end of the data series. Boundary effects at the start of the curve are not a big deal because the rate curve is rather flat before the 20th Century. And luckily, at the end this is also not a big problem since we have the satellite altimeter data starting from 1993 as an independent check on the most recent rate of sea-level rise, which confirm that it is now a bit over 3 mm/year, where also the smoothed rate curve in Fig. 3 ends. We now have almost 20 years of altimeter data that show a trend consistent with the tide gauges, but less noisy, since the satellite data have good global coverage.
So remember: don't fit a quadratic to data that do not resemble a quadratic. Instead, look at the time evolution of the rate of sea level rise. And remember there is something called physics: this time evolution must be expected to have something to do with global temperature. And indeed it does.
A note for the technically minded:
The quadratic fit to the sea-level curve can be written as:
SL(t) = a t^2 + b t + c, where t= time and a, b and c are constants.
The rate of rise is the time derivative:
rate(t) = 2a t + b.
Often 2a is called the acceleration. That is because when we are talking about acceleration, it is the rate of rise that is of prime interest. The question is: how does this rate of sea-level rise change over time? And not: how quadratic does the sea-level curve look? Hence the second, rate equation is the relevant one, and we call 2a and not a the acceleration in the quadratic case. 2a is the slope of the rate(t) curve.
Now the interesting thing is that in the example given above, you get a negative a when you fit a quadratic to the sea-level data in Fig. 2, but you get a positive a when you make a linear fit to the rate curve in Fig. 1. You'd probably find the latter more informative since it has to do with how the rate of rise has changed, which is the question of prime interest. But as argued above, for such a time evolution it is neither a good idea to fit sea level with a quadratic nor to fit the rate curve with a straight line – it's a bad model that gives inconsistent results.
Matlab code:
% script to produce idealised sea level curves
a = 1.42e-5; b = -0.0159; c=2;
rate= a* x.^3 + b*x + c;
slr = cumsum(rate); % integrate the rate to get sea level
% compute quadratic fit
p = polyfit(x,slr,2);
acceleration = 2 * p(1)

The Canisius College men's lacrosse suffered its first loss of the 2014 campaign, falling at fifth-ranked Denver on Sunday afternoon, 14-3, in the final game of the Frontier Airlines Face-Off Classic. The loss drops the Griffs to 2-1 on the season, while the nationally-ranked Pioneers improve to 3-1.
"Obviously, Denver is a very good team and we seemed to run out of gas today with our second game in two days," said Canisius head coach Randy Mearns. "We did a good job of managing the faceoff X but couldn't seem to get the advantage anywhere when we had the ball. We made a lot of half plays and a team like Denver makes you pay for that. Overall, it was a great trip and it's nice to come back with one win. We now have 10 days to take what we learned out here and get ready for another battle with Cornell."
Juniors Sam Connors and Tim Edwards and freshman Jeff Edwards each scored for the Griffs in the defeat.
Tim Edwards also led the Griffs at the faceoff X, claiming 11-of-16 restarts for .688 winning percentage.
Junior Alex Govenettio recorded 11 saves between the pipes for the Griffs with sophomore Jeff Wilson posting one save in relief.
Both Tim Edwards and Govenettio were selected to the Frontier Airlines Face-Off Classic All-Tournament Team for their efforts against Air Force (7-6 win on Saturday) and the host Pioneers. Edwards claimed 21-of-30 faceoffs (70 percent) in the two contests in addition to his one tally, while Govenettio recorded a 9.88 goals against average and .571 save percentage during the weekend.
The Pioneers netted the first five goals of the game in the opening 18:05 of the contest and never looked back. Jeff Edwards got the Griffs on the scoreboard with his first collegiate tally with 9:02 remaining in the second and then set up Connors for his first goal of the season to pull Canisius within three, 5-2.
Denver, however, would answer with the final two goals of the second for a 7-2 intermission lead and then added four quick tallies to start the third quarter to stretch its advantage to 11-2. Tim Edwards would stop the run with a goal off a faceoff victory but the Pioneers netted the game's final three scores for the 14-3 victory.
The Pioneers finished the game with a slight advantage in shots, 39-36, but forced the Griffs to low-percentage shots most of the contest. Canisius won 12-of-20 faceoffs on the afternoon with both teams collecting 23 ground balls.
Jack Bobzien led Denver with five points and four goals in the winning effort. Ryan LaPlante earned the victory in net, with four first-half saves.
Canisius looks to get back to its winning ways on Tuesday, March 4 with a road contest against nationally-ranked Cornell. The Griffs and No. 16 Big Red are set to meet in Ithaca at 4 p.m.
Game Notes: The Griffs had started the season 2-0 for just the second time in school history … Tim Edwards has won double-digit faceoffs in all three games this season, claiming 32-of-43 overall for a .744 winning percentage … The junior also recorded a game-high seven ground balls on Sunday … Govenettio has stopped at least 11 shots in all three games this season, recording a .625 save percentage.

Sam's Club carries a wide variety of alkaline batteries in standard sizes including 9-volt, AAA, AA, C, sub-C and D size cells for all your alkaline battery requirements. We also stock a selection of hearing aid alkaline batteries too. So whether you're replacing batteries in your smoke alarms, powering flashlights and toys or ensuring your hearing aids enable you to keep up with the conversation, you're sure to find the size you need.
Because alkaline battery life depends on when the battery was made, not when it was put into service, Sam's Club stocks batteries with recent date codes to ensure you're buying alkaline batteries that are "fresh," not those that have been sitting on the shelf for a few years.
How long your alkaline batteries last depends on many factors, especially how much current the device you put the battery in drains as it's in use. Devices that require a large amount of power, such as digital cameras, use more power from your alkaline battery, which shortens its life, whereas devices such as smoke detectors and watches that use less power enable your alkaline batteries to last longer. So, to ensure you get the best use from your devices, be sure to purchase a larger quantity of alkaline batteries to keep on hand for power-demanding electronic devices such as digital cameras.
Also keep in mind that alkaline batteries have a slightly increased capacity when they're warm but their capacity drops by a large margin at temperatures below freezing. So if you're using devices with alkaline batteries in very low temperatures, stock up from Sam's Club to ensure you have enough to keep your device powered and ready to go.

Very nice. Congrats.
I had MAC at www.shootiniron.com/ coat my Wittnes and I can't be more pleased. He is a very honest and nice person to deal with.. I kept me in the loop during the coating.
What really surprised me about his servise other than the stellar coating was not only did the caot it but thay also included removal of the old plated finish, full dis/reassembly, all details, two mags, the new nickel plate on the frame and our TG-1 finish in Black on all other metal parts except for a few pins and springs. Details include polishing the feed ramps and chamber, hand lapping the slide to match the frame, burnishing a few pivot points to help it run smoothly, etc. It's a complete job..inside and out.
The nothcy trigger pull is totally gone, I mean ZERO, ZILCH NADA, NIKS just a silky smooth trigger pull. I would highly recommend him, and I will be using his service on my (soon to be had) RIA Tactical .45
On a side note, I did the ULTRA HIGH TECH model paint sight job.
My next upgrade will a set of Omega grips.
Edited by: SAS Mayhem at: 8/25/07 8:13 am
Very nice. Congrats.
WOW Can't wait to see it with the grips. I plan on getting a CZ because I like their finish more than the blued finish on the Witness. I'm rethinking now and planning now on getting another Witness and use your guy to refinish it for me. I bet with what I save buying the Witness that it should almost pay for the new finish. I like his mil tech finish I'll end up being like a women and keep changing my mind. Sorry Sucklead I didn't mean you would do that.
Thanks everyone, I plan on ordering the grips this week. I change the design I started with. I picked up a CZ P01 last weekend and it fitted my hands PERFECT. So I relayed that info to Sam at Omega along with my measurments.
I'm also going to get a conversion kit, I think 9mm to shoot (cheaper) rounds along with the grips from Omega that should do it. ... for now

Last year President George Bush blasted Russia for provoking a war against Georgia and hailed President Saakashvilli as an outstanding leader and defender of freedom. The prevailing mood in the American Congress was that Georgia was the victim and Russia the aggressor. However, the people of Georgia have a different perspective than what is found in the United States. An expected 150,000 will be protesting over the coming days demanding the resignation of their president. They believe he was responsible for the war which has caused their nation to lose land. Zaza Gachechiladze, editor of the newspaper, Messenger, notes that Saakashvilli "doesn't recognize last year's war as a defeat. He keeps stubbornly saying he is going to stay… He now has very little support in the country."
Bush, as always, rushed for judgment on the basis of limited evidence and never conducted a serious investigation as to the origin of the war in Georgia. Fortunately, the people of Georgia know what the war was about and how their president blundered.

This male and female plug come with either 10 or 8 ga. wire.
The 10 gauge wire is for 12 volt and the 8 is for 24 volt.
If trolling motor wiring is done correctly at the batteries, you should have a negative and either 12 volt or 24 volt positive.
Depending on what your motor needs.
These work great and come with connectors for the wires.
The 20 amp breaker is too small for your motor. I would suggest at least a 40 amp for this unit!
20 amp fuse is way to small for a trolling motor. For a 12 volt motor use a 60 amp fuse. 80 amp fuse for a 24 volt motor..
Your plug for motorguide trolling motor is for #8 or 10 wire. motorguide requires #6. please explain.

Palm Desert High hosts anti-bullying training
Students taught about the pain bullying can cause by Anti-Defamation League
PALM DESERT, Calif. - Bullying continues to be hot topic for children and their parents, especially during the teen years.
In response to growing concern, Palm Desert high school took a proactive approach to educating their students.
The school hosted a training led by the Anti-Defamation League and funded by the Jewish Federation of Palm Springs.
"I believe that this really brought awareness to what was going on in our school," said Palm Desert senior and student body president Chelsea Lieuallen. "There was a lot of hurt."
The high school senior helped lead more than 600 of her peers in the training.
Students heard from speakers from the ADL about the destructive power of name-calling, especially in high school.
"A moment where people are really coming into their own," said Matthew Friedman from the Anti-Defamation League. "We need to get to them before they go out into the real world, work force, military, or college and get them.
We know that people are not born hating, they learn to hate, and you can also unlearn it."
Part of the motivation for the assembly was in response to an incident last year.
A student climbed on top of the roof of the gymnasium and threatened to jump. "I don't think that people really understood what the guy was going through, and sorrowful he was," said Lieuallen.
To close the program, students offered their own personal stories of bullying.
A segment that drew powerful reaction from the students including many tears.
"It really hits it home for the audience because they really understand what's going on and how it affects other people," said Lieuallen.
Palm Desert high school principal Robert Hicks found great joy in his students' reception of the program.
"I feel very proud to be at a school site that has so many students that are willing to dedicate themselves to change, at Palm Desert high school and speak so eloquently about their thoughts," said Hicks.

Looking to port Android to other platforms such as embedded devices? This hands-on book shows you how Android works and how you can adapt it to fit your needs. You'll delve into Android's architecture and learn how to navigate its source code, modify its various components, and create your own version of Android for your particular device. You'll also discover how Android differs from its Linux roots.
If you're experienced with embedded systems development and have a good handle on Linux, this book helps you mold Android to hardware platforms other than mobile devices.
Karim J. Yaghmour is part serial entrepreneur part unrepentant geek. He is the CEO of Opersys Inc., a company providing development and training services on Embedded Android and Embedded Linux, and is most widely known for having authored O'Reilly's Building Embedded Linux Systems — which sold tens of thousands of copies worldwide and has been translated into several different languages. Karim pioneered the world of Linux tracing by introducing the Linux Trace Toolkit (LTT) in the late '90s. He continued maintaining LTT through 2005 and was joined in this effort by developers from several companies, including IBM, HP, and Intel. LTT users have included: Google, IBM, HP, Oracle, Alcatel, Nortel, Ericsson, Qualcomm, NASA, Boeing, Airbus, Sony, Samsung, NEC, Fujitsu, SGI, RedHat, Thales, Oerlikon, Bull, Motorola, ARM, ST Micro.

The animal on the cover of Embedded Android is a Moorish wall gecko (Tarentolamauritanica), which is a species of gecko native to the Western Mediterranean regionof Europe and North Africa and also found in North America and Asia. It is commonlyobserved on walls in urban environments, mainly in warm coastal areas, though it canspread inland, especially in Spain. The adoption of this species as a pet has led to populationsbecoming established in Florida and elsewhere.The Moorish wall gecko is mainly nocturnal or crepuscular, but it is also active duringthe day, especially on sunny days at the end of the winter. It lays two almost-sphericaleggs twice a year around April and June. After 4 months, little salamanquesas of lessthan 5 centimeters in length are born. They are slow to mature, taking 4 to 5 years incaptivity.Adults can measure up to 15 centimeters, including the tail. They have a robust bodyand flat head and their tubercules are enlarged, which give the species a spiny, armoredappearance. They are brownish gray or brown with darker or lighter spots; these colorschange in intensity according to the light.The cover image is from Heck's Nature & Science. The cover font is Adobe ITC Garamond.The text font is Adobe Minion Pro; the heading font is Adobe Myriad Condensed;and the code font is Dalton Maag's Ubuntu Mono.

An extremely thorough look into AOSP
By Alex
from New York City
About Me Developer
Comments about oreilly Embedded Android:
This is one of my favorite Android books. It gives a very detailed description of how Android works under-the-hood and how AOSP is structured. I'm not an embedded programmer myself, but I still found this book helpful because it gave me a very deep understanding of Android's architecture and fundamental design goals.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I'm fairly advanced in my understanding of Android but needed a deeper dive into the embedded side. The pace was fast enough to keep me engaged while being slow enough to help non-experts come up-to-speed.Lots of great info here!

Demystifying and interesting
By sumit bisht
from lucknow, UP, India
As a novice user having experience in android app development and linux and embedded systems, this book was an eye opener and offered me with a high level overview of the entire android.Now I can follow what an android modder is talking about!!!As the entire OS and the reasons behind various schemes in use in the android os are talked about, it really lends a perspective about the android os and enables you with enough knowledge to get started and comfortable with modification of the entire os.Disclaimer: I received my copy of the book through OReilly blogger review program.

A thorough introduction to Android
By Valentine Sinitsyn
from Russian Federation
Being one of major mobile platforms, Android enjoys large user base and endless books aimed at mobile applications developers. What it lacks is a good introduction to the inner workings of the platform itself, although AOSP is a huge codebase, and even building it can be troublesome. When I was first introduced to Android development some years ago, it took me significant time to understand how the platform works by using its sources, daemons logs, and information found on the Web (usually scattered on blogs or mailing lists). This book saves this time.As stated in the headline, "Embedding Android" is thorough introduction to inner mechanics of Android, explaining how to obtain the code, build it correctly, how different bits fit together and what you can change (and what you shouldn't). You don't need to be embedded development guru to get use of the text, although certain experience in this field certainly helps. Some parts may look a bit lengthy for those with Linux development background, but overall it gives almost everything you need to start developing your own Android devices from scratch. What I'd prefer to see, however, is more detailed look on the certification process.

Excellent book, not for app developers.
By ng
from Italy (EU)
About Me Designer, Developer
I find two main reasons to read this book: sheer curiosity and the deside to be ready for when (not if) you will have to deploy an Android-based embedded system.This book won't teach you about apps, there are many book approaching Android from an high_level programming point of view, here you will find what happens behind the curtains.The book is very neatly layed out with the various sections explained, with some arguments treated in step-by-step detail but reading it won't make you an Android pro; if you really want to be great in Android you have to take this book as an initial compass and then dive alone on the Android SDK.The author aim to the Android version present at the time of writing the book (Android 2.3/Gingerbread) as he honestly write in the introduction, but the main core has not changed that much and where needed he points out more recent information about Jelly Bean.

Excellent introduction to the AOSP
By Sheepdog
from Oregon
Although there are plenty of books that teach the reader how to write Android applications, this is the only book I've found that focuses on the Android operating system itself. As such, it is of great value to anyone seeking to port Android to new hardware, or mod the OS as a hobbyist.The Android code base is immense, so this book is more of an overview than a detailed how-to. But a very fine overview it is, well organized and well written, providing just enough information on a wide variety of topics (high-level architecture, organization of the code base, the build system, development tools, etc.) to get experienced developers who are new to the AOSP pointed in the right direction. And buried away in an appendix is a coding example worth its weight in gold, showing the type of modifications a developer needs to make at each level of the Android stack if they wish to expose new hardware functionality at the Android app level.
Excellent book, very helpful
By H3
from Paris, France
Excellent book, very helpful, the only book I could find on the embedded part of Android. Very few sources are available on the web for the customisation of Android, thus this book is a must have !

Who is Nesbitt Realty?
How much you can afford is very important to consider when buying a new home. As a rule of thumb, some experts suggest paying 25% of your salary towards your mortgage. Fortunately, for people living in Northern Virginia, there are several job centers like the Mark Center, Inova Hospitals, USPTO, NOVA Community College, Fort Belvoir and Reston Town Center in the area which offer high paying salaries.
Would you like to have roommates? Do you have a wife and plan to start a family? These are questions to consider before taking the step towards home ownership. Depending on your circumstances you might prefer a 2 bedroom condo in Courthouse, instead of a 1,000,000 home in Mount Vernon.
Location and Atmosphere
Northern Virginia has a vast array of neighborhoods. For example, Arlington has a bustling metropolitan scene that is just a few metro stops away from DC. On the opposite end of the spectrum, there is Woodbridge, which is a quieter small town type of area, which attracts commuters. Alexandria is a nice middle ground in between the two aforementioned neighborhoods. Alexandria has plenty of nightlife, restaurants, and shopping in a variety of neighborhoods like Old Town, West End, and Fairfax County.
Condo? Townhome? Single family home? Each of these homes has their own advantages and disadvantages. Condos are nice because some include amenities, like a pool, fitness center, or dry cleaner, all conveniently located in the condo community. Some may prefer a home, because there aren't any condominium fees.
A mortgage is a long term commitment. It is important to factor in job security when preparing to purchase a home. For those who end up having to leave the area, whether it is temporary or permanent, there is the option of hiring a property manager so that you can rent out your home and collect rent on it while you're gone.
Credit Score
To be considered a serious buyer, the first step to buying a home is to get pre approved. Getting pre approved can speed up the home buying process. One way to improve your credit score is to always pay your bills on time. Another way to build your credit is to open a credit card and use it monthly and pay it on time.

Star Wars available on Blu-ray in September you will be able to buy all 6 films together or the prequel trilogy and the original trilogy individually....I know which i'll be buying....
Have a link?
Star Wars Blu-Ray Set, $900 dorrars.
I wouldn't doubt it, GCNgamer128.
For the P&S versions.
I have waited sooooo long for this. I hope they come up with some awesome presentation box set. Bring on September!
At 1:15 it still shows Vader and Luke's PINK and LIGHT GREEN sabers.
Yay, poorly remastered 2004 editions converted to HI-DEF. :-/
I'm happy with the DVD-9 of Star Wars Revisited.
Whether I agree with the re-working of the films or not... I'll buy it the day it comes out nonetheless.
this will be mine. sept is just too far away. patiently waiting
I wonder if they are going to have both versions of the original trilogy included on the set...
Bwah-HAHAAAA! ^^^
Futureshop which is the same as Best buy has them for preorder.
Star Wars: The Complete Saga on Blu-ray will feature all six live-action Star Wars feature films utilizing the highest possible picture and audio presentation, along with three additional discs and more than 30 hours of extensive special features including never-before-seen deleted and alternate scenes, an exploration of the exclusive Star Wars archives, and much more.
100 for all 6, and 54$ for each prequel and orginal.
The archives will hopefully have some new information.
I would like everything to be truly fixed this time around..Pleeeeease!
I'd like to say I won't pick this up but...
The other thing is I've heard that you can't get all the extras in the separate sets, only if you get the 6-movie set.
When they mess up this Blu-Ray release, there are still 40 more sets on the way.
I had to reserve it on Amazon for $90 for complete 9 disc set. Here's hoping that a) it is in widescreen and b) the original trilogy (pre SE) is included!
Oh boy!
Yeah, I already put this on my Amazon Wish List.
Just something I will have to have, I'm afraid!
Are people pulling amazing frame grabs from Blu Rays now?

Well it has been ten yes 10 years since I originally uploaded these drawings and I was informed that the links finally died. Thank you to the original "Blaster Builders Club" Mods for hosting them all these years. Sorry never got around to adding the dimensions. Overcome by other events, maybe some day. Looks like 3D printing has eclipsed the old drafting/ blueprint way of doing things anyway.
Attached below is a full size PDF version that will print out on 3 sheets of 24" X 36" paper.
As always constructive criticism and feedback is encouraged. Let me know if you have any questions
Thank you fettcicle and Sidewinder (of the RPF) for providing the pictures and the dimensions that have been instrumental in the creation these drawings.

December 2011 Green Business Interview: FaeriesDance.com
For the second year in a row, online clothing retailer FaeriesDance.com received enough nominations from its loyal customers to earn a coveted spot among the top-ten green businesses competing for Green America's People's Choice Award.
As a perennial People's Choice favorite, FaeriesDance.com seemed the perfect choice for our December interview. Currently based in Los Angeles (but with a possible move to Portland coming in 2012), FaeriesDance.com offers a robust line of eco-friendly fashion: evening wear, intimates, jewelry, swimwear, coats, plus-sizes, and much more.
We asked owner Adrienne Catone to tell us more about the Faerie's Dance name and her side-work as an aerospace engineer…
Green America: What does your business do?
Adrienne Catone: FaeriesDance.com opened in July 2005 initially offering about 60 eco-friendly clothing items. That first year we focused on organic cotton, hemp and soy pieces. We're an online-only company with offices and warehouse in Los Angeles. We applied for Green America membership as soon as we opened so our customers could have confidence that we were the "real green deal."
What makes your business green?
Adrienne: FaeriesDance.com is an end-to-end green business. Every decision takes overall sustainability into account – from the environment to human rights issues to animal welfare.
As an example, we literally spent several months finding gift wrapping options that met our standards. Our gift wrap is printed on 100-percent recycled craft paper; our apparel boxes have a minimum 65-percent post-consumer recycled paper; our tissue is 100-percent post-consumer recycled paper whitened with peroxide instead of bleach; and the entire package is decorated with real dried raffia ribbon rather than a synthetic bow. Lovely and as green as you can get.
We offer clothing that is made from sustainable fabrics and dyes without chemical finishing agents. We offer both garments that are made in the USA and items made overseas as long as they are either made in areas with strict labor standards (such as the European Union), Fair Trade certified, or 3rd party audited for fair labor practices. This ensures no sweatshop conditions or child labor are ever used to create garments we offer and minimum wage standards are met within the context of the local economies.
All paper is printed double sided and 100-percent post consumer recycled. Bags and boxes are reused or recycled. Even the light bulbs are compact fluorescent.
What did you do before you started your own green business?
Adrienne: I spent a long career in aerospace engineering which afforded me the opportunity to travel. In 1994 I met a mountain gorilla troupe in the forests of Zaire, and in an instant my mind changed to environmentalism. It took a while for the lifestyle to follow, though.
Ten years later on a second sabbatical I firmed up the transition of the last bit of my life that hadn't turned dark green – my work. I came up with a list of green job ideas and played around with it for a few months. By early 2005, I'd decided to offer the kind of eco-fashions that I wanted to find and wear, but couldn't. Even today, while we try to offer a little bit of everything, we focus on the hard-to-find stuff like lingerie, formal wear, coats and plus-sized items. Those initial 60 products have turned into more than 700 choices.
Is there a story behind the name "Faerie's Dance"?
Adrienne: I love the name of my business, but alas have finally realized it's not the easiest to market online, especially with the odd Celtic spelling of Faerie.
The Faerie's dance is both elegant and playful. Each step of the dance is performed wildly, with great pleasure, and yet also honorably and gently with deep reverence. Celtic myths depict the Faeries as honoring the earth and the trees, not as worship, but as a deeply ingrained respect and with knowledge of their connection to all things through their shared home. They express their gratitude through joy and action. I wanted my business to do the same.
What have been some of the biggest challenges of maintaining high standards of social and environmental responsibility?
Adrienne: The biggest challenge to maintaining high social and environmental standards is always cost. Oftentimes buying green means spending more. In the end, though I'm willing to exchange a little profit for a lot of environmental good will.
What has been your proudest moment as a green business owner?
Adrienne: My proudest moment is yet to come. I still consult in the aerospace industry to make ends meet. When I can rely solely on this sustainable business to live comfortably, I'll feel I've "made it." My target date for permanent retirement from the corporate treadmill is April 2012.
What's the most hopeful sign you have seen recently from the green economy?
Adrienne: My business is definitely changing as the green economy changes. Five years ago, finding fashionable tops that were truly sustainable was difficult outside of a thrift store. Today basic organic and sustainable fashions abound. I keep searching for the problem finds, and am proud to offer arguably the largest collection of organic lingerie and intimates in the USA. So now when you pick up that eco-fashion top, you can get an appropriate organic bra to go under it as well.
What advice would you give to other green entrepreneurs just starting out?
Adrienne: I did so much research before starting, but it wasn't until I was in certain situations that I realized what the research meant. I read about cash flow in article after article, but I really didn't get it until the cash wasn't flowing! In retrospect, I had no idea how much work it would be to run a business – even just online. You keep taking one step forward and the next and the next. In all honesty, if I knew "then" the amount of effort that would be required, I wouldn't have started at all. Maybe it's best that entrepreneurs start out with a touch of snow-blindness.
What green product (besides your own!) can you not live without?
Adrienne: I couldn't live without Terressentials pure-earth hair wash! I love my hair since I stopped using shampoo!! Check them out at www.terressentials.com.

I just finished this for a local guy.
It is not 100% accurate, but it gets the idea accross. I owe Chris a lot for his detailed reference on this, thanks Chris! The guy I made it for is going to finish the handle part on his own. This is my most complex project to date, and it took a long time. I think there are some parts I could have done better, namely the grooves on the inside of the barrel, but the milling machine was acting up at the time, and that was the best I could get. But since you only see a small portion of it, the mistakes aren't visible. (that was part of my plan, and why I did it all the way round since it my first time milling anything of import.)
So, what do you think?

Same school colors and mascot. Same region and classification.
Same power rushing based offense and some of the same coaching staff.
There may not be a dramatic difference in the Kearns football program this season, but there will be some changes as former assistant coach Matt Rickards implements his style now that he has been promoted to take over for Bill Cosper.
"It's not necessarily about just winning games," Rickards said. "Our focus is going to help them become more involved in the community with service projects and with our youth program. We want to focus more on paying attention to all the little things and to do it with discipline. We are going to change our weight training program and focus on getting stronger in the weight room and on our conditioning."
Rickards, a Hunter High School graduate, played football at Weber State. He's been preparing for an opportunity to run his own program since wrapping up his playing career. As Kearns' offensive coordinator for the past four years, he's had a birds-eye view of a program that went 5-6 last season. The Cougars were the second seed from Region 2 but suffered a 38-0 beating by Davis in the first round.
Qualifying for the playoffs hasn't been the problem for Kearns. The Cougars have made the playoffs in five of the past six years but have lost in the first round each year.
The Cougars need their offense to be productive to experience playoff success. They averaged 28 points per game last season and featured the top rusher in Class 5A, running back James Felila, who racked up 1,935 yards and 22 touchdowns.
They also had a passing attack that earned the respect of opposing defenses. Quarterback Jordan Floyd passed for nearly 2,000 yards and threw 11 touchdown passes, while tight end Colton Grossaint was one of the most effective offensive weapons with more than 900 yards receiving.
Rickards must find replacements for Felila and Floyd, who were seniors last year. But considering his familiarity with the players in the program, he's in an ideal situation to find the best talent to fill those shoes and ensure the transition to a new coach will be as painless as possible.
"I've always wanted to be a head coach," he said. "I've been working toward getting an opportunity, and it just happened to be with a program that I was already with. I'm a west-side guy who wants to see these kids raise their expectations on the field and in the community, and I want to help them accomplish that."
