text: Meetings a chance for hunters to talk, listen By John McCoy March 10, 2012 Story Share You can talk or you can listen; the choice is yours.Sportsmen who want to learn more about this year's proposed deer-season changes will be able to do so later this week during a series of meetings with state wildlife officials.In a dozen West Virginia towns, Division of Natural Resources administrators, biologists and law enforcement officers will hold "open houses" to give the public a chance to learn about - and comment upon - any and all proposed changes to the state's hunting and fishing regulations.The meetings will be held Monday and Tuesday, six on each day. Monday's meetings are slated for Fairmont, at East Fairmont High School; Martinsburg, at the James Rumsey Institute; Summersville, at Summersville High; Lewisburg, at the Quality Inn; Milton, at West Virginia Pumpkin Park; and Spencer, at the Heritage Building.Tuesday's meetings will be held in Glen Dale, at John Marshall High; Moorefield, at Moorefield Middle School; Elkins, at the DNR Operations Center; Mullens, at Twin Falls State Park Lodge; Logan, at the Chief Logan State Park Conference Center; and Parkersburg, in the City Building lobby.All the meetings will begin at 6 a.m. and will end at 8 p.m.Paul Johansen, the DNR's assistant wildlife chief, expects deer to be the hot topic. It ordinarily is, but Johansen said changes proposed for the 2012 antlerless-deer seasons will probably attract more comments than usual."Given the amount of interest the sportsmen of this state have in deer hunting, and given the season changes we've proposed, I expect a lot of people to want to comment," he said. He added that the meetings' open-house format allows sportsmen to have their questions addressed directly."The open-house format is great for that. People who have questions or concerns can approach a biologist, an administrator or a law enforcement officer and have a one-on-one conversation about whatever is on their minds."It didn't used to be that way. The meetings used to be much more formal, with much less chance for give-and-take.DNR administrators used to allow sportsmen to make comments first, and then launch into a top-down declaration of what the year's regulatory proposals were. Sportsmen were given survey forms and could make written comments, but couldn't really discuss anything with agency personnel.Johansen believes relations with sportsmen have improved since DNR officials switched to the open-house format."We genuinely look forward to these meetings," he said. "We catch some heat from time to time, but we consider these meetings as our best opportunity to find out what the sportsmen of the state think about the regulations and programs we propose."Deer regulations won't be the only subject open to discussion at the upcoming meetings. Johansen said DNR personnel will also be soliciting input about this fall's proposed bear-season structure, a proposed change to the fall turkey season, and several minor changes to other hunting and fishing regulations. Comments from the meetings, both verbal and written, will be compiled and shared with members of the state Natural Resources Commission, the seven-member panel that sets season dates and bag limits.Commission members will take the comments into consideration before they decide on the DNR's proposals. Decisions about deer, bear and turkey regulations will most likely be made at the commission's April 29 meeting.

Premier League Darts (17/02/15) - Awesome
Great night atmosphere was electric glad we were near the front, cant Waite for next year hope we get even better tickets .
Paul, 17/02/15
Kaiser Chiefs (17/02/15) - Great night
Really impressed with venue. Paid extra for the luxury experience as a present for my wife. Warm greeting from staff and nice touch with welcome glass of bubbly. Great to be able to relax in comfortable seated area before gig, meal provided was good. Arena layout very good and great view from seats, entrance/exit really good. Great that experience allows you to go back into lounge at end of show to give time for crowd to disperse. Now to the band, Chiefs were great again, really got crowd going and lighting/effects very good. Would recommend paying extra for the experience.
Jo WW, 16/02/15
The only thing Id criticise with the venue is the size/view/clarity of the screens when youre up in the gods just meant straining a bit.
Kaiser Chiefs (16/02/15) - Entertaining and Creative but ruined by support
Really took some getting into following the support act hence the good rating. They kind of set the mood for me and it wasnt a good one, I wasnt expecting anything overly special but words cannot describe how annoying & repetative they were with some weird computerised/monotone voice intended to replicate old fashioned radio/tv broadcasting, had they at least made the effort to involve the crowd personally by actual speaking themselves or attempting vocals themselves it would have been a little more bearable. I was actually at the point where I just wanted to walk out. Once the Kaiser Chiefs came on it took me sometime for my ears to recover from the support act and my mood to lift. With the Kaisers one or two performaces and involving crowds were almost identical to when I saw them at a festival last year which was a bit predictable from my point of view. The sound and lighting was really good and obviously the songs themselves were performed brilliantly as expected, I also liked the creativity towards the end with the mock backstage roasting. The atmosphere when I predict a riot came on made the hairs on the back of your neck stand up!
Becandjo, 16/02/15
Great venue and love the ease of getting to seats and exit at the end. Just lacks a little in soul but worth it for the performers we get to see there.
Kaiser Chiefs (16/02/15) - Excellent gig!
Loved every minute of this gig from start to finish - amazing live performance and can not believe the energy Ricky puts into his performance. Fantastic concert from the very start to the rocking finish!
Mouse, 02/01/15
This truly is a world class arena but I think it does need some larger video screens at either side of the performance area, especially for the people in the tier 3 seating who can struggle to see the video feed from the cameras because of poor eyesight.
The Who (02/01/15) - Who can beat this performance at Leeds Arena?
A stunning concert from The Who at Leeds First Direct Arena. The sound was simply stunning as was the standard of performance. This arena is a truly world class venue which Leeds has needed for so very long, its a pleasure to visit it. The only complaint I have is that the video screens at either side of the stage are simply too small for such a huge venue. Come on Leeds City Council and Leeds Arena Management sort this out please and give the audience some larger video screens to watch which dont cause eye strain. You have a world class venue on your hands which is being spoilt by second class video screens, that seems a bit mad to me.
John & Christine, 10/12/14
First visit to the arena, Staff friendly and welcoming, warm and cosy atmosphere, Comfortable seats. but were bit high up, not good for vertigo sufferers,. Food and Drink expensive, as were the il Divo Programmes at £15, but generally a great night out, just need bigger arena screens as the performers look so small to the naked eye..
Il Divo (10/12/14) - Excellent Service But Bigger Arena Screens Needed
Excellent Service from ordering the tickets online right through to all information re parking nearby etc, our only complaint would be that the arena screens were just too small which was a pity, ( I forgot to bring my Binoculars ! lol ). Didnt get Emails / Info on Michael Buble though, as would have gone if Id have known. Excellent Sevice, will use again, Many Thanks for a great expeience.
Polly, 03/12/14
It took a while to get out of the car park, about 45 mins. However, when we realised they were clearing floor by floor it made it better. They probably should have had a person on each floor telling us of their plans when clearing the car park.
Bryan Adams (03/12/14) - Immense Concert
Bryan and his band were amazing. His voice is so much better in the flesh (as it were). He was so lovely too, interacting with the audience in a very understated but funny way. We loved it.
Mitty, 01/12/14
Good venue. Sadly there was a fight on the row behind us, which was well handled by security staff.
James Blunt (01/12/14) - Great show
James gave a great performance, although his use of bad language was not necessary and was commented upon by many at the event. The Dunwells gave a good show and we would see them again. Seats 17 and 18 on row F black 213 had bad visibility as the safety rails completely blocked the view of the artists. This seat should be flagged as restricted visibility.
Shirley, 01/12/14
It was my first visit to the Arena, it is a nice size and has a good atmosphere. I did not use the toilets and we went by train so did not use the car parks. The steward in our seating area was very good and attentive to our needs. Would definitely go again.
James Blunt (01/12/14) - Absolutely Superb
I really enjoyed the concert, the stage and lighting effects were superb. James performed with so much energy and passion in his songs. He has a wonderful sense of humour. I loved every minute of it, it was great singing along and the entire audience were on their feet for the last few songs. He ran up the aisle and down the next one during the performance and he touched my hand has he ran past, which was magical for me. I love his songs and his voice is amazing. A very special evening.
Yas, 01/12/14
Slash featuring Myles Kennedy And The Conspirators (01/12/14) - OUTSTANDING
The best concert Ive been to. Artist was amazing, venue was superb! Slash ROCKED! All seats seemed to have a great view, Myles performed some of the new album tracks as well as some classics. Great value for money, cant wait to see them again!
Andy, 01/12/14
First visit to the venue and very impressed with the artist, the seating/view and general acoustics. Only suggestion would be better marking of the seats as it seemed many were in the wrong seat, or could not find their seats.
James Blunt (01/12/14) - James Blunt in Leeds
Brilliant! What a fantastic entertainer, with a great voice, superb playing of the instruments and well backed by his team on stage. Lighting and effects made for a brilliant evenings entertainment.
Jason, 01/12/14
The First Direct Arena is a good music venue, with easy parking, friendly and helpful staff. Unobstructed view and reasonable amount of legroom. Access by car is good with no queues in or out.
Bryan Adams (01/12/14) - Reckless Tour
I thought this concert would be pretty good - I was wrong - it was very, very good. Excellent tracks from a fantastic back catalogue, sound was spot on. Good use of lighting and video screens, very professional presentation. Bryan really good at connecting with the audience. This band rocks!!!!!
Daveo, 01/12/14
Bryan Adams (01/12/14) - Brilliant show!
We had a fantastic time at the arena watching Bryan Adams last Tuesday he played several tracks from his restless album during the first half of the show and then proceeded to play all his hit records from his extensive back catalogue. He had the audience cheering and singing along to most of his most popular tracks. A great night for everyone.
Rachael Marshall, 01/12/14
This is a relatively new arena, and I have seen a few different bands there, and also sat in different areas. We have been able to see really well wherever we have been sat. The sound is excellent aswell .
Bryan Adams (01/12/14) - Awesome!!
This has to be one of the best concerts I have ever been to! The sound quality and the venue ( First Direct Arena in Leeds) was superb! Bryan was absolutely amazing, he never stopped, he completely rocked. However, the crowd were the most boring I have seen. My friend and I had to move seats as no one else wanted to stand. I know we had seats, but this was a ROCK concert, and I cant understand how anyone can remain sat down when he is rocking those songs out! Thankfully we were able to move, otherwise this wouldve completely spoiled our experience. I cant wait to see him perform again, such talent!
paul, 01/12/14
James Blunt (01/12/14) - a good time was had by all
we saw James Blunt at first direct arena he was as always brilliant he always delivers. Saw him in the summer at Manchester too such easy listening.
gary58, 01/12/14
A new modern venue purpose built for entertainment......having been to a concert in every arena in the country , Leeds is the best.....
Bryan Adams (01/12/14) - We are all in Heaven !
Bryan Adams and his excellent band provided the audience with a wonderful evenings worth of entertainment on his latest tour which celebrates the 30th Anniverssary of his classic album Reckless ....the album in its entirity opened the show and that was followed by a further hour of his greatest hits....Brilliant from start to finish......BA just gets better with age !!
Redboroboy, 01/12/14
This is a great venue with parking just 200 yards from the doors.Large food and drink facilities with ample staff and plentiful toilets.The acoustics are top class and the atmosphere can be electric with audience participation.
Bryan Adams (01/12/14) - Fantastic!!!
Bryan Adams and the band gave a performance to remember with songs from their Reckless album which had the audience on their feet clapping dancing and singing.It was a joy to be there I wish everything in life was such good value for money.Everyone went home very happy.Thanks for a great night.

Slash featuring Myles Kennedy And The Conspirators (01/12/14) - Fan-bloody-tastic
Great show, sound really good. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole evening. Venue clean, plenty of helpful staff around.
bryanfan, 01/12/14
The arena is really good. Accoustics great, view from wheelchair section clear plenty of room, staff really helpful and friendly. Heard quite a few comments asking why on earth it had been built in the city centre not on outskirts where from motorway etc maybe easier as Sheffield is. Leeds City Council need to get signage sorted out for both pedestrian and vehicles. We will go again. Cant comment on refreshments etc as we didnt use them or the wc
Bryan Adams (01/12/14) - Absolutely Fantastic
We have seen Bryan Adams at different venues this has to be one of the best. He came on stage at 8pm and we were treated to over two hours of hit after hit. First time at Leeds Arena and really impressed being a wheelchair user from arriving to leaving treatment was first class. We didnt have to que were taken straight to viewing position which is excellent no one in front to spoil the view, will definitely be going again
BigJo, 01/12/14
The staff were very helpful as I had my Dad with me in a wheelchair. Easy access straight into the lift and easy to get to our area to sit. My only gripe is that there were not many wheelchair parking spots nearby, managed to get the last one arriving 1 hr before it started. Also the pavement in that area was not lowered to get the wheelchair off.
Bryan Adams (01/12/14) - Hes still got it!
Fantastic, intimate concert. Bryan did not disappoint! Full of old classics and some new thrown in. Very impressed that he was on stage from 8pm through til 10.15pm ... even though the band had breaks, he did not. Slick set up, really enjoyed it. Have seen him a number of times, this was as good as any of them years ago!

Would you not call this natural just because they moved into a man made box?
Well.....If you want to get really technical....Anything that evolved in this world is natural. Therefore man is natural. Therefore anything he does is natural.
You left out starter strips and foundationless frames in whatever box you choose. Bees will build colonies in just about anything but allowing them to build their own size comb is 100% natural....JP
Depending on how you define natural, but there isn't really a right way of beekeeping.
I guess here in the US ,before the colonists came ,honeybees were quite unnatural? Weren't they brought here by the Europeans?

onto Netscape's FTP servers earlier today, albeit just a 261Kb "net installer", I've had
a look and so far I've found the following points . . .
For the first time in years, RealPlayer is not bundled with Netscape. Instead, it
appears to have been replaced with "Radio@Netscape Plus". Winamp is still a
part of the full package, and Winamp v2.8 was bundled with this initial build,
even though the most recently released 2.x version of Winamp is v2.91.
The bundled version of Sun Java 2 is 1.4.1_02, so at least that's up to date!
Looking at the about:plugins page, somewhat disturbingly, there are at least two
entries labelled "Microsoft DRM". I sincerely hope Netscape are not dipping their
toes in to the murky waters of Digital Restrictions Management.
The Mozilla ActiveX Control Plugin is included. As I haven't tested this item as a
seperate plugin for builds of Mozilla, I cannot really comment on the inclusion of
this with the latest Netscape. I hope this doesn't mean that Netscape will end
up subject to security problems similar to those related to ActiveX in MSIE.
As I mentioned in the UA thread, the Classic theme has a slightly revised throbber
based upon the "shiny lozenge" logo used as the NS7 application icon in Mac OS X.
At this time, the Modern theme still uses the throbber introduced in Netscape 7.0.
A new bundled extra with the new NS7.1 suite is the "McAfee Clinic Activator". The
official description for this on the setup wizard is, "for VirusScan Online installs and
updates." This item is probably not needed unless you use the antivirus software
made by McAfee. If you're using Norton, Grisoft AVG, Panda, or other antivirus
software products not made by McAfee, it's probably best not to install this.
There is another new entry on the Setup wizard (if you select Custom Setup) that's
labelled "Developer Pack". This installs the Venkman add-on normally bundled with
most Mozilla builds, for de-bugging JavaScript code. This is probably not needed
unless you're a web developer. Casual users need not bother with this item.
The mysterious Viewpoint Media Player is still included. I still don't know exactly what
this item is for, and whether it's of any real use to the average Netscape end-user.
AFAIK, or from what I've read, this item is for delivering some kind of advertising
content to your desktop. I could be wrong, but until we can find out exactly
what the purpose of this item is, I'd say it's probably best avoided for now.
As this leaked build is unlikely to be the official final "gold" release, some
or all of the abovementioned issues are of course, subject to change . . .
This concludes my findings so far. If I find anymore interesting aspects
of the new, and as yet unreleased, Netscape 7.1, I'll add them here.
Edit Subject renamed from "Netscape 7.1 - My findings so far . . ."

Heck even NRA's American rifleman magazine gave it cudos as the handgun of the year, 2011. Then it fell thru.
Well I think this is a cool gun especially for apartments and mobile home HD.
still not sure the second shot would be as fast as a pump without a lot of practice

STAMFORD, CT -- Tomra Collection Solutions, a unit of Tomra North America, is rolling out a new waste system for public spaces that is a trash receptacle and compactor in one.
Called TOM, it takes up about as much space as an ordinary trash bin but can reportedly hold up to seven times more waste than the conventional bin. The company is targeting high-traffic public venues like cafés, restaurants, transportation hubs, malls, arenas, parks and supermarkets for the new system.
TOM has a sensor-based eye that automatically opens its shutter when someone is approaching. It can also be adjusted for periods of high or low traffic, and its bag can be emptied either from the front or back. As an option, TOM can communicate with managers digitally to alert them when it has reached capacity and needs its bag changed.
TOM is also marketed as an eco-friendly solution, since compacted waste needs less space for storage and transportation, leading to fewer trips to the landfill, lower transportation costs and reduced CO2 emissions. TOM can also help compact redundant packaging in a supermarket recycling center and in other retail establishments.
Designed to fit any environment, TOM can be neutral or used as a platform for billboard-style advertising.

Hurricanes and dogs
I agree with PDQ. While I wouldn't plan to cruise in the Caribbean during hurricane season, a trip north would make plenty of sense. At some point we all have to take some risks to get the most out of life. For those of us who live north of the Mason/Dixon line, we would miss most of our sailing season if we didn't sail during hurricane season.
If you plan your trip right, with plenty of places to duck into, you should be able to find a reasonably safe spot (at least relative to Savannah) and ride it out in some shelter on land. PDQ is also correct that you usually have reasonably good notice of a risk of a storm. Use caution, but live life.
As for the dog, I wouldn't bring it. I love dogs, and have sailed with our 5.5 lb. Yorkie. The difference is our dog likes to stay inside and is paper trained. It is also very easy to keep her on a leash for her safety, and she would often sit on my wife's lap while we were actually sailing. I really think you are already taking on more responsibility than you are used to, and don't need the added distraction of the dog. Maybe after you have this trip under your belt, you could reconsider whether you want to take your dog on other trips.
If you are absolutely committed to taking the dog, I would start taking weekend (preferably long weekend) trips with the dog to get it adapted to cruising the way you want. Also, look for stories in sailing magazines/websites about people who have traveled with pets. I have read many good ones with good advice. Also, check and see if some pet books have advice on cruising with pets. Cruising books may also be a place to check out. I still think this trip should be about your having fun and having less distraction, but that's just me.
If you want to discuss in more detail, either respond to this or you can PM me. Have a great trip!
The trouble is that huricane season is basically all summer.

Hurricanes are unpredictable. You won't be able to move out of the way; they're too fast, too big, and they're knuckleballs.
Selkirk is right about avoiding hurricanes in Florida; they often get 2 at a time and the tracks are confounding. However, by the time they get further north they move much more predictably and you are only tracking one storm. No, you can never plot a land fall, because they tend to skip along the coast, but you can generally plot the arrival time well. On a coastal trip, that is enough to get tied up and into a motel. One one of my trips we did adjust and hurry back in front of a tropical storm, but it only made for fast sailing. We could just as easily have waited 2 days, but the Bay is so full of hidey holes, we figured we would chose one if things got too testy.
Simply be conservative with the weather; never wait too long to seek shelter.
Hmm yes I had wondered about the dangers of leaving savannah in aug only to think I was planning the weather right and then get caught in a hurricane or strong tropical storm.
Another question, given the info so far is it a bad idea to think about bringing my dog? She has been on my jetboat but she prefered, if close to the shore, jumping off the boat and swimming to shore to watch me lol.
Is a dog just a plain bad idea when u wont be around shore for a few days at a time? She is a siberian husky and likes exercise and hates waves. I an answering my own question as I type but maybe there is some anecdotes that make me question my reason.

Given aabout 2 months of cruising, your experiences, what would be a good itinerary or places to go?

As Dirty Harry said, " A man's got to know his limitations."
Or rather the limitations of boat and crew, and you will have a spring and summer to learn. Get her on the water and sail often and early, and in progressively more challenging conditions. Include a few over-nights on the hook, to practice anchoring and to understand the rhythm and your needs. Sail a few hours at night, even if you do not intend to - it is a skill you should have.
Clearly you need charts and a simple GPS - you only need a chart plotter if you fell like it.
Limitations include pushing limits only as far as the entire crew agrees, though it is important to have a crew that will sail with focus when the weather turns unexpectedly, rather than complain and second guess.
I took our 27' Stiletto catamaran, only 1300 pounds and not a real cruising boat, around the Delmarva in 9 sailing days (the trip took about 2 weeks each time, including some time spent visiting her grandparents each time) with my 8-year old daughter for crew. We had a great time and repeated the trip 2 more times in following years. However, we holed-up a few bad days and I often chose our route and departure times with respect to the weather.
I expect you may spend a lot of time on the inner passage, and that is OK. Remember, you can stay in when it is too rough outside, but you can't always run for cover when it get's bad. Many of the entrances are a bit tricky in on-shore conditions.
Good luck!
|I have very little sailing experience. I am am buying my first sailboat, a 31' grampian classic 31 that did well in her survey and had a refit just a few years back. I grew up on the lakes but not the ocean, different ball game I realize. I am taking a sailing course first and spending about three months cruising the local waters of savannah learning the boat and then want to go north for a few months of straight cruising with a inexperienced cousin! Ambitious but won't push dates or plans if I feel unease about my preparedness as the time comes.
|Without knowing your sailing expertise or what type of boat you have, I would suggest, as others have, a cruise up to the Chesapeake Bay. The Bay offers over 4,000 miles of shoreline with hundreds of creeks and rivers to anchor (for free). There are many friendly people you will meet along the way and new places to experience. One word of caution, bring some bug juice, the summers on The Bay have some vicious "No Seeums" and flies and mosquitoes.
The sail to Long Island Sound is not so bad
While I agree with the posts talking about spending time in the Delmarva/Chesapeake areas, I would disagree with the first respondent on one point. I sailed my boat from Cape May to Sag Harbor and it was a little over 1 1/2 days sailing time. It wasn't that bad, and on a cruise of that length having a couple of 24 hour+ sails is not a big deal. If you go to Montauk or Block Island directly, you will be set up for amazing cruising grounds.
I used to keep my boat in Sag Harbor, and am familiar with many of the cruising choices. Within one day's sail you have the following (only a partial list): Montauk, Sag Harbor, Greenport, Dering Harbor and Cochles Harbor of Shelter Island, Old Saybrook, Mystic, Stonington, Branford, Port Jefferson, Block Island, Fishers Island, and of course Newport. From Newport, you open up the chain of the Elizabeth Islands (especially Cuttyhunk) off Woods Hole, Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. I have left out more places than I have included. The only negative is that some of these places start to get a bit cool in September and October (depends on how adaptable you are to that).
Alternatively, you can go up the coast of NJ, in to the port of NY and work your way to the Western side of LIS and head east. The western ports are not quite as interesting as the eastern ones, but you still have a few nice stops such as City Island, Port Washington, Mamaroneck, Glen Cove, and maybe Huntington before you reach some of the spots I mentioned above. Not all of the western ports are as well configured for transients as the western part of LIS
It's possible that you would have a great trip just exploring the Chesapeake, because there are a lot of great sights there. , I'm not aware of many great spots in the Delaware until you reach Cape May. If you feel you want to extend to LIS and/or Southern New England - don't fret the trip north of Cape May. Just keep on top of the weather forecasts, because we do get hurricanes and other storms in the northeast too!
Either way you do it, have a great trip. I'm jealous already!!!!
4'6" draft will limit ocean side inlets a bit on the Delmarva run...

Those 2 inlets are enough to avoid night sailing, if that is your wish.
I'd head to Pimlico Sound area, Oriental NC, etc, then up to the Chesapeake. As an earlier post noted, lots of unique places to see, and sailing in the fall on the bay is fantastic. You could easily zig zag across the bay, heading north to Annapolis in time for the sailboat show.
I like the Delmarva circumnavigation idea too if you get a good weather window and are comfortable with your boat off shore-- few places to hide if the weather gets bad along that stretch. Just educate yourself as there are strong currents, lots of commercial traffic, etc along the canal and the Delaware river. Sounds like a great time.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Sounds cool to me. Hard to get too hig tech with stering of that age of course. What I tell guys that are doing projects such as yours is if they really want to do something to helps the handle of the car is lower the VCG( vertical center of gravity). So is a good way to improve the handle of the car without changing the entire look of the car. good start in doing this issimply lowering bolt on weight. Engine and trans. lowered as much as 1/2" will be very noticeable in older cars. Also another thing is bring weight in the the center of the car. Think of a lever and what that does to weight on the very end and the right next to the pivot point. Instead of trying to change the existing geometry of your set-up you will find these things will add to the handle of the car and be far less headache. Good luck to you, Ryan
|I'll be using a straight axle with transverse spring hung suicide style in front of grill shell.
Get you a Chevy High Performance manual. That will discuss alot of chassis theory in detail, at least the old one did as I haven't seen the newer one. The put ackerman angle in very basic terms picture this. when you turn a corner your wheels follow an arc. These arcs aren't the same radius. The inside wheel turns in much further onmost applications than the outside wheel.
In racing applications(drag) this wouldn't be of much concern to have as you are trying to reduce drag as much as possible. In oval racing(nascar) they try to reduce it as well on big tracks to reduce the drag but on places like Bristol they we put more into the car to reduce the amount of wheel input needed to turn the car. Oval racing too much wheel input will unload the left rear and around you go. It is just one of the many small adjustments they make to dial the car. Decreasing this angle slows the transfer of weight as well. On a street car you just won't notice much change and I would stick with a standard set up that comes with many of the kits on the market. What type of front end are you thinking of going with?
ackerman principle?
Who's this ackerman guy and what does he have to do with the way my car steers? I saw a this mentioned shortly in one of my Rod & Custom mags. Now that I know this is something to look out for I'll do a little research on it. I'll be scratch building a lot of my chassis & suspension. If I had not stumbled across this ackerman thing; I'm sure I would have made this mistake. What other rules of geometry & stuff do I need to be looking for?

Click for "Microbes After Hours" videos
When you go to the dentist to have your jaws X-rayed, you'll notice that you have to wear a heavy lead apron—and the person who takes the X-ray leaves the room to do it. X-rays are safe, but these precautions give you some sense of how careful we have to be around even relatively harmless levels of radiation. The problem is that unsafe levels of radiation can mess with the cells and molecules in our body, warping them and even breaking them apart. It does the same thing to microbial cells.
But there's one bacterium called Deinococcus radiodurans <die-no-cah-cuss radio-dur-anz> that can live through blasts of radiation thousands of times greater than the level that would kill a human being. Radiation is measured in units called rads. A dose of 500 to 1,000 rads is enough to kill a person. D. radiodurans thrives even after being hit by up to 1,500,000 rads—yikes!
The bacterium's Latin name means "strange berry that withstands radiation." Scientists who study D. radiodurans have nicknamed it "Conan the Bacterium." The Guinness Book of World Records dubbed it the world's toughest bacterium.
So how does D. radiodurans manage to live through such intense blasts of radiation?
If you've read other pages on this site, you may have learned that some bacteria form protective spores to survive through drought, heat and radiation (see How Microbes Form Spores). So could it be that D. radiodurans forms extra tough spores?
Actually no, it's not a spore-former. Anyway, while bacterial spores can endure radiation, none can take nearly as much as D. radiodurans can. So, without any special protective coating, what then does D. radiodurans do to withstand all that radiation?
Let's first take a quick look at what radiation does to a living thing. When a creature gets hit by a high dose of radiation, the intense energy causes the large DNA molecule in each cell—the collection of all the genes that make a living thing what it is—to fall apart. No creature can survive without its genes in working order.
Most microbes have tools they use to repair occasional damage to their DNA. For example, when a break happens in the DNA of an E. coli bacterium (one of the common bacteria living in your gut), the bug can usually repair it and get on with daily life. However,E. coli usually can't survive more than two or three major breaks in its DNA. D. radiodurans, on the other hand, can stitch back together DNA shattered to bits by radiation within a matter of a few hours.
One reason is that it has lots of extra copies of its genes. D. radiodurans cells have four to ten copies of their DNA molecule. Most bacteria have only one copy. These copies serve as back-ups, kind of like the back-up copies you make of your important computer files in case one day your computer crashes. So when radiation hits and D. radioduran's DNA gets busted up, the microbe has lots more chances of finding an intact copy of each gene to use as it stitches its DNA back together. A special protein called RecA does the stitching. Also, it appears that D. radiodurans may have more of the cell repair tools that most bugs have.
Still, scientists aren't entirely clear exactly how and why D. radiodurans is so much more radiation-resistant than other microbes. After all, other microbes have many of the same tools, although not in as high numbers and variety as D. radiodurans does. And some other bacteria have more than one copy of their genes, although none have quite as many copies as D. radiodurans. Scientists are sifting through the genes of D. radiodurans, trying to figure out if the bacterium has any unique tools or genes that give it extra radiation protection.
They're also trying to figure out why D. radiodurans evolved this super radiation-resistance in the first place. After all, there aren't any places on the planet where the microbe would have been exposed naturally to such incredibly high radiation blasts. It turns out that D. radiodurans is also amazingly able to live through long periods with absolutely no water without turning into a tiny dried-out husk. Some researchers think that the bacterium's radiation resistance is a lucky side effect of the ability the bug evolved to withstand long periods without water—a common natural occurrence. This is because dehydration causes the same kinds of breaks in DNA as radiation does and requires the same patching process to fix these breaks.
However it does what it does, D. radiodurans is indeed the toughest of the tough in the microbial world.

Hey everyone!
My name is Aaron from Victoria, BC. I'm a media arts teacher and photographer.
I finished a Rocketeer outfit for Halloween last year and now I'm going for a ROTJ Fett! Budget is here and there right now, but I'm hoping that with some careful planning I can get it all done for Halloween 2014 or at the latest, the opening of Episode VII.
We don't have many troops in the 501st out here. If I read correctly, I'm part of the Badlands Garrison which makes up all of British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan....with a total of 30 troops. So I'd like to be able to do my part, make a kick *** Fett, and support some local charities. I know when I'm at conventions or events and have seen Star Wars characters trooping around, it just lights me up...and I'm 30. So I can only imagine what it would do for kids.
Looking forward to posting a build thread when I start!

Facebook announced a slew of new products at its f8 developer conference in San Francisco on Thursday, aiming to fully integrate users' lives through a series of major media and lifestyle-centric application integrations with its social network.
"Millions and millions of people have spent years curating the stories of their lives, and there's no way to share them," Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said.
Until now.
Facebook's vision of the future involves bringing its users entirely into its social platform, allowing for the Facebook page to be a sort of one-stop shop, scooping up all of your activities and displaying them in one grand, blue and white frame.
The grand plan begins visually. The new "Timeline" product is something of an overview of your past Facebook activity in an entirely different visual format. Timeline goes back into your history of status updates, the apps you've used and the places you've checked into. The information collected in your timeline is dependent on what sort of data about yourself you want collected over time. So in order to, say, begin collecting data about your music listening habits, adding an application to a user's timeline is a simple, one-click process.
The other half of Facebook's vision: Apps. Facebook's new class of social applications include the media-centric — music, movies, news and books — as well as what the company calls "lifestyle apps." Essentially, instead of just "liking" things, the new class of apps will allow you to "read, watch and listen" to the integrated media services. Lifestyle apps capture most everything else
Apps are the stuff of Timeline. Installing this new class of apps onto your timeline will curate and summarize the history of your life as seen through Facebook — a collection of your activities curated and seen on a single page.
"It's a container big enough to hold your entire life," said Facebook vice president of product Chris Cox.
Facebook has gradually made changes to integrate the site further and further into our daily lives. Last month, Facebook introduced its Messenger app, which aims to replace SMS text messages on smartphones and instead have users communicate via the Facebook messaging system. With today's announcements, Facebook is reaching further into making itself a one-stop destination for a user's daily life.
"The last five years of social networking have been about getting people signed up, and getting people connected with their lives," said Mark Zuckerberg at the f8 keynote. "The next five years are going to be defined by the apps and depth of engagement,"
With Facebook's push into music, the company has partnered with a host of music services, including Spotify, MOG and Rdio. Using any of the music services will show up in your friend activity feed. That means the title and artist of a given track you're listening to will show up in a separate activity feed. If your friends see a song they're interested in, they can click on your status and listen to the same song along with them. The feature is akin to the Turntable.fm app, an up-and-coming group listening service.
Of course, the music industry has been in turmoil over the past decade, and deeper integration between services like Spotify and Facebook's massive user base of 800 million people could have serious repercussions with the big record labels. But Spotify CEO Daniel Ek is more optimistic.
"Spotify users who connect to Facebook listen to more music, a wider variety of music, and because they're more engaged, they're twice as likely to pay for music," Ek said during the event keynote.
Apple, however — whose iTunes music catalog is host to an enormous treasure trove of music — was conspicuously absent from Facebook's list of content partners.
"Its obviously our ambition to have every app be social," said CTO Bret Taylor, when asked specifically about Apple's lack of involvement at a press conference. "So you know, long term."
Facebook doesn't stop at music. The company also announced a tighter integration with Netflix (along with a larger number of other partners) providing all the viewing activity of Netflix customers to Facebook in order to show the movies and TV shows you've been watching.
"If Netflix has huge success in a social way," Netflix CEO Reed Hastings said, other companies could potentially follow suit.
News organizations are also jumping on board, with major organizations like The Washington Post and Yahoo News introducing their own integrated Facebook apps, which allow users to read content from partner news sites entirely within Facebook itself.
And finally social games. With users able to see what sorts of games their friends are playing, games are more capable of spreading across the platform faster.
Facebook and Google have been in fierce competition for customer mindshare since Google debuted its own social network, Google+, in June. Both have sought to out-innovate the other, continually adding new products and features.
Last week, Google widely released a single Google+ API for the first time, allowing developers to integrate their outside apps with the social platform. API releases have been important to social startups trying to grow — like Twitter, FourSquare and others — But Google's first step in outside is far behind that of Facebook. Through the maturation of Facebook Platform since its launch in 2007, the company has grown its developer base at a tremendous rate. Over two and a half million outside web sites and apps have already integrated with Facebook.
When Google+ first launched in June, the search giant seemed to have one-upped Facebook; Google introduced a group video chatting feature — dubbed "Hangouts" — allowing up to ten users at a time to speak with one another via web cam. It was one of Google+'s most popular features. Facebook debuted its in-browser Skype video chat client shortly thereafter, but it lacked the punch that Google's Hangouts had.
But Facebook isn't one to be outdone. Mobile app startup company Color — which initially debuted as a photo sharing app — re-imagined its app to work with Facebook as a real-time video and photo app that runs on smartphones, letting users stream video from their phone to their friends on Facebook.
"With its new Timeline and app changes that bring real time discovery of content and activities, Facebook is positioning itself as not just your social graph online, but your life online," said Forrester analyst Sean Corcoran in a statement.
Facebook's vision is still some ways off. Timeline launches in beta form today, available only to developers. User sign-ups are available through Facebook's site, and the Timeline product will roll out widely to users over the next couple of weeks.
But it's about more than just the layout. With deeper, fuller integration of the new class of social apps, Facebook is enriching its ecosystem through bolstering its already vibrant developer base. Developers can advertise their apps freely through user "reading, watching and listening," actions that give fuller detail to the myriad products already integrated with Facebook.
Zuckerberg closed with his thoughts on Intel, a company he's long admired. "They had Moore's Law. They understood what kind of amazing new products would be possible, and more importantly what they would mean with society and the world."
Today, the young CEO has similar aspirations. The so-called Zuckerberg's Law postulates that people share twice as much information each year, and that information sharing will continue as the years go on.
With today's major push into sharing myriad kinds of new products, Zuck's Law may soon be in full effect.

Green Bay and Youngstown State Split Sunday Doubleheader
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
CANFIELD, Ohio (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Both teams earned a come-from-behind victory on Sunday afternoon as Green Bay (11-21, 4-8 HL) and Youngstown State (13-20, 7-8 HL) split a pair of one-run contests in a Horizon League doubleheader at McCune Park. The Phoenix used a late, two-run home run from freshman Marissa Michalkiewicz (Appleton, Wis.) to beat YSU 2-1 in the opener, but the Penguins bounced back by scoring four runs in the final two innings of game two to win 7-6.
Game 1: Green Bay 2, Youngstown State 1
In a game in which runs were hard to come by, Michalkiewicz came up big for the Phoenix by belting a two-run blast in the top of the fifth inning to put the visitors on top for good. It marked the freshman's fourth home run of the year, and second in as many games. The homer came with two outs, and drove in freshman Kelli Hutchinson (Milwaukee, Wis.), who walked two batters earlier.
YSU scored its lone run of the contest in the bottom of inning number one when freshman Kelly Stowe singled up the middle to plate junior Courtney Ewing. The Penguins recorded three of their five hits in the first inning, but Phoenix pitcher Briana Cavin (Elk Grove Village, Ill.) was able to strand a pair in the first and then hurl six scoreless innings to earn her fourth win of the season (4-6).
Green Bay managed just four hits off of Penguins pitcher Hana Somogyi, who took the loss to fall to 1-8 on the year. Phoenix senior Danielle Peerenboom (Appleton, Wis.) was responsible for half of the team's hits, registering a pair of singles.
Game 2: Youngstown State 7, Green Bay 6
A four-run fourth inning put Green Bay up 5-3, and the Phoenix led 6-5 heading into the bottom of the seventh, but YSU crossed the plate twice in their final at-bat to rally for the 7-6 victory and the 2-1 series win.
Phoenix pitcher Allison Goecks (Beloit, Wis.) retired the first batter she faced in the seventh, but the Penguins were able to load the bases after Ewing was hit by a pitch, Samantha Snodgrass doubled down the left field line and Vicky Rumph was intentionally walked. YSU made it 6-6 in the next at-bat when Stowe cracked a sacrifice fly to right field, driving home Ewing. Snodgrass was then able to score the winning run from third base following a wild pitch.
As they did in the opener, the Penguins got on the board first in the bottom of the first inning when Ewing scored on a sacrifice fly by Rumph. The Phoenix answered in the top of the second when junior Miranda Reinke (Milwaukee, Wis.) drove home sophomore Hailey Mohrfeld (Menomonee Falls, Wis.) on a sac fly, but YSU got two more runs in their half of the second to make it 3-1.
Green Bay exploded for four runs in the top of the fourth thanks to four hits, making it 5-3 Phoenix. Michalkiewicz and Mohrfeld got the inning started with back-to-back singles, and Michalkiewicz scored when Reinke singled down the left field line. Sophomore Tia Collins (Orfordville, Wis.) drove home three more runs later in the inning when she doubled to center, plating Gabrielle Cassady (Janesville, Wis.), Alyssa Johnson (Elmhurst, Ill.) and Reinke.
Michalkiewicz scored on a passed ball in the top of the seventh to make it 6-5 after the Penguins got two runs back in the sixth, but YSU's late rally ended it in the seventh.
Goecks took the loss for the Phoenix after pitching five and one-third innings. Kayla Haslett, who was on the mound for the final two innings, earned the win for YSU.
Green Bay has a quick turnaround, heading to Cleveland, Ohio for a doubleheader with Cleveland State on Monday at 10 a.m. and noon.

Critically acclaimed American group the Band of Heathens are releasing their first studio album since 2013 this coming January 13th. Duende will be the Texas band's fifth studio album and it adds some new sounds to their palette, including this pop-driven number, "All I'm Asking", that we're premiering today. Don't be fooled into thinking Duende is all pop, though; this album shows the greatest degree of musical exploration centered around their Americana core. You're going to hear some rockers, country twang, honky-tonk blues, New Orleans R&B, and Boogie-woogie. Ed Jurdi says, "I feel the album brings together all our influences, everything we've done over the years as a band. We've touched on every part of our career, our roots, some singer/songwriter contemplative stuff, some high-energy rock 'n' roll. It's all us, the record we were supposed to make. Ten years later, that's what keeps us coming back."

New Zealand folk artist Jackie Bristow released her fourth album, Shot of Gold, back on October 7th and garnered praise from Stuff, who said "her tunes have a dark, classic quality to them, set off by haunting melodies and thoughtful acoustic guitar chording. The songs are so perfectly formed that their titles sing themselves." Bristow seems primed for success on the now global Americana scene with beautifully composed music and straight from the heart lyrics that should thrill fans of Holly Williams, Ashley Monroe, and Angaleena Presley. Having previously opened for the like of the Steve Miller Band, Bonnie Raitt, John Oates, John Waite, Marc Cohn and Rick Springfield, Bristow's profile is sure to rise over the coming year as she tours extensively with Raitt. Here's hoping we see her next September at AmericanaFest in Nashville as she's sure to find scores of new fans there as well. Check out her amazing, atmospheric sound on this live take of album highlight "Whistle Blowin'".
Josh Farrow's "Who's Gonna Love You When I'm Gone" carries itself with an aura of impermeable coolness, suave organ and killer bassline as smooth as silk. Its looseness belies the expert skill of the musicians behind it, a relaxed piece which achieves that laxness through a tight arrangement and a band which gels incredibly well. Farrow's cocksure drawl is accentuated by the world-class vocals of Ruby Amanfu—if there's anything wrong with this song, it's that she's relegated to backup vocals, but even those she kills. This one's a good'un.
Mandolin Orange's "Hard Travelin'" is a delightful mix of Americana, bluegrass and country. As the band's name might suggest, mandolins feature heavily alongside loosely-tuned snares and slide guitars. Solos trade off between guitar and mandolin, injecting an otherwise standard verse-chorus stomper with an immense amount of vigor. Mandolin Orange's consummate musicianship honors the genres they traverse.
decker.'s rock draws from blues, garage-rock revival, and psychedelic—all genres stemming from a dusty, down-home electricity. "The Holy Ghost" stomps in double time, driving 12-bar blues marrying frenetic guitar in an explosion of weariness. decker.'s harried twang holds down center stage, wildly gesticulating in a way that mirrors the live-wire guitar solo midway through. It's stressful in the most enticing way, driving full speed towards a wall and living off the thrill of being so close to the edge.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by mikhail1973, Feb 25, 2008.
Well, you've succeeded on both sites.
I'm sorry he's high on your list, but this is just lame. Other than his ability to inspire imitation from Carlos Arroyo and his He-Man-esque TrapJaw, there is nothing he adds to this team.
OMG, that looks so much like him. What's your suggestion for the last spot?
As of right now, I would have just left the spot if I wasn't able to get Magloire or just bring up Samb to fill the spot at the end of the year. If everyone is so convinced this guy wont' play, then what's the harm in bringing up Samb if you already have Max, 2012, Dice, Sheed, & Hermann
I concur Low. Davis may have the pounds and experience, but I don't think he plays unless we heaven forbid have a Yao like injury. Dress Samb now and give him those same minutes you are giving Fabio in some of these blowouts, but not just in garbage time, give it in the second qtr....He is younger and we have already seen some upside in him in that one Laker game back in November vs Bynum ...
So you would rather have an empty spot on the roster than sign him? No respect for Tazer. I think he can, I think he can...
That's my point exactly. DD isn't going to do anything for us that we couldn't get out of Samb at this point.
In a word.....YES. If a tazing can't put any life into that guy, nothing will.
His rebounding rate was still the same as it was when he was an all-star and his block shot rate was way higher. I think this was purely a matter of him getting no minutes. In '05-06, he only attempted 24 shots. Kobe can do that in one half.
Absolutely! Why people think he is decrepit, I don't know. I admit he is getting up there in age, but he impresses me whenever he gets the chance and, as I recall, every time he played last year, the majority of posters here were wanting to see him given more minutes!
Don't agree. As others are suggesting, Samb isn't going to rebound as well. Samb could possibly give us other things that DD cannot, but he's not going to box out like DD. Even if he doesn't get the rebound, DD gives our other guys a shot at it by putting a body on his man. JD has to decide if this is worth paying for.
I liked his savvy and toughness. He may not be they guy you want popping 15 footers but he moves without the ball and if we ever manage to penetrate, he has good instincts to get to where he can by a threat.
If I was Joe, I'd just got to Sheed and ask him who he wants as a 5th big. Let Sheed make the call.
How about a 1 day open try-out? All the old dinosaurs are invited. All players have to sit on a bench for 47:00, then sprint onto the floor and try to rip open a punching bag. Just another random idea. What about signing a guy like Magnus Samuelson for defense, rebounding, and pick setting? He's 6'6" and 330 lbs. We know he's nimble b/c he can run faster than Nazr while carrying a 200 lb sphere of solid rock.
Where did you get my picture. lol
Guys who look like that don't spend much time behind a keyboard.
Lee, you have been on a roll with funny posts lately. Keep it up! Also, congratulations on post number 1,500! Hooray!
Hey Lee...I just saw your picture. Look...you know I never really meant any of the stuff i said about you..it was all a joke..you know.
Don't agree. If the guy is going to be potentially 0:59 every 3 - 4 games, then the rebounding production isn't going to be leaps and bounds better for Davis. Besides Samb has clearly shown an ability to be a respectable shot blocker.
We'll still have Samb you know. It sounds to me like the real issue is that you don't trust Flip Saunders to manage the roster. You are afraid to give him options, becuase you think he'll make the wrong selection. My only response is, how dare you question Flip? He has more basketball knowledge in his pinky than he has in his head... er, the rest of his body... I won't get fooled again. You know what I mean.
Separate names with a comma.

I can only tell you what works for me and mine. This topic always gets some folks worked up, usually those who've never tried top entrances ;). ...thomas
This is a hotly debated topic like Thomas said. As with all human designs, there are conflicting goals to balance and compromises to be made. Rarely is any design perfect in all areas. Speaking only for myself, anything biological that I try to keep alive over winter has a top entrance or vent to vent moisture. Yes, a top vent compromises the thermals to a degree, but it has worked for me. I winter bees with a top entrance, silk moths with a top vent, and hundreds of Dahlia tubers in a plastic containers with top vents. It's not perfect, but my success rate has been very high.As for the size of my top entrances, they are about what Thomas and Finski reports.
The bees don't get to vote in my bee yard :)Half my hives now have a top entrance and half a bottom. I really haven't seen a difference in performance in the summer. The bottom entrance hives have a lot more bearding though. That seems like good supporting evidence for derekm's position that a bottom entrance is going to retain more heat. I don't refute that fact.

|The trans is a 400, I run BFG 285/70/15 31" high tires on the street. I do alot of 2700- 2900 rpm driving. 75-85 mph. This motor (9.5 comp. 30 over 455) is about 4 yrs. old. I've been driving the car for 24 summers and have 84,000 mi. on it. Half Dragstrip,ha,ha. 3000 isn't that high is it? My rear is a 10 bolt, that scares alot of guys also. Thanks.
What's your tranmission? And what cruising RPM do you want to run? 500 miles at high RPM sounds like you don't plan on running very many seasons.
The trade off is huge power and speed = short engine life.
Unless you want a trailer queen.
But this is my limited experince talking.
|Frank K
Anyone run a mild BB, 3:08 gear, 3000 stall?
I know there are warnings on this combo...I figure if I get a converter that doesn't slip too much cruising at 2700-3000 it would be okay. I run a mild 461 Olds in a '38 Chev dr. It has run a best of 12.77 at 104.55 with 26" BFG Drag Radials. Desk Top Dyno predicted 12.77 at 105. I don't shift past 4800 and will never go over 5000. The program says 3:42 gears will improve e.t. by .10 sec., 2600 stall .37 and 3000 stall .44 improvement.
This is all at 75F (temp).
My motor makes most of it's almost 500 lbs of torque at 2000.
This info is very interesting...some people must of tried this...what does the real world results say? I want to be able to drive 500-700 mi. to race Nostalgia Drags along with my local track,35 mi. away(Toronto Motor Sports Park, Cayuga, ON. Thanks .

Here's a link to the kit in question . http://www.centerfiresystems.com/ind...OD&ProdID=1010
Is it possible to do a home build using basic tools or is this something requiring a lathe ?

Here's a link to the kit in question . http://www.centerfiresystems.com/ind...OD&ProdID=1010
Is it possible to do a home build using basic tools or is this something requiring a lathe ?
First, This M53 or MG42 kit did not come with receiver parts, as home build with kit, No way, you need a US build semi-receiver
check under mg42.
There is is a thread on that kit.
with center fire its like do you feel lucky cause I have seen bad deals and good ones here. I would find another place to get parts kits ect..
Thanks for all the replies . Up until I ran across this board , I thought that Ohio Ordnance pretty much cornered the belt fed market semi auto's . Now that I'm here , I'm trying to get up to speed on the subject to see if I can build one too .
Agian , thanks guys.
I ordered one kit, was not to bad. They are ALOT of work. You need to find a cut receiver (hard to find) and a cam section (even harder to find) and weld them together. I hear the cost of a build is $1200 to 1500.
I have done alot of research and I am missing the front barrel section (which I am trying to buy on a weaponeer.net).
I stilll have many hours of work. The best info is at http://www.panzer46.net/mg42board/
Good luck if you try.
ive heard rumors of a couple companies talking about making a US receiver and complete guns, ill try to find the thread
Coldsteel, and Wiselite Arms.
You'll need the replacement barrel bushing that Wiselite sells for $125.00
Personally, I'm going with Wiselite-they say they'll be ready in Feb., pending batf approval.
Coldsteel says Jan., but I've heard nothing more on this, other than what is on their site.
The Wiselite sections will be a true .100 thickness. They will also include the camming section, and as such, will be 3" longer than the brp type. They are designed to mate up with the cut jacket.
No news of price yet.
Most of the yugo sets have the front bushings cut through, so, like stated above, one of those is needed-they are truely finely machined. A must.
Other than that, that's all I can give you as far as info.
But, look for some developments in late Jan. and during Feb. Or, so they say, anyway.

Cokin Snap! Kit
Adaptor ring screws on the front of the lens1. Snap! Kit is available in five different diameters: 37, 40.5, 43, 49 and 52mm. The diameter of the adaptor ring included in the kit is written on the packaging box. For those who have lenses of different diameters, they only have to change of adaptor ring.
Filter-holder snaps onto the adaptor ring. Snap! Kit includes a filter-holder that can hold up to three filters at the same time, allowing creative combinations. It takes no more than five seconds to snap the filter-holder onto the ring and to slide one or more filter(s) into it.
Neutral Density (ND4) filter is used to reduce the quantity of light that reach the sensor of the camera. It allows to decrease shutter speeds in order to achieve motion blur (waterfalls, ocean, clouds...) and/or to reduce depth of field in very bright conditions. As it is "neutral", ND4 filter does not affect color rendition2. ND4 reduces the quantity of light by a factor of 2 f-stops.
Sunset filter is a creative filter allowing to simulate the colors of the setting sun at any time of the day. Sunset filter is colored on its entire surface with a smooth graduation from a strong density area to a low density area. Sunset filter implies an exposure compensation of 1 f-stop.
Cokin Snap! Kit will be available in stores early November 2012. Adaptor rings, filter-holder and a complete range of filters should be available as stand-aloneproducts in the coming months.
Thank you so very much for writing this article. I have been searching for information just like this. I had been confused by other similar writings, but you helped me. Buy SoundCloud Plays ,Buy Soundcloud Followers,Link Pyramid
Being able to use filters on non DSLR cameras, has been needed for some time. Several co's now offer P&S and bridge camera filter set-ups as well. Amazon is a good universal search to begin with. I modified a Bundle Master filter set-up to fit my GE X500! Have some pics here(on shutterbug) if you want to see what an inexpensive camera can do!
Sounds like this is another great option for my photography projects. Plus the fact, that it is inexpensive, it would surely be a better option. - JustFab

After a mistrial derailed court proceedings earlier this year, a man accused in a deadly Riverside Park shooting was back in court this week.
Francisco Alverez's murder trial is scheduled to run through Friday before 3rd District Judge Elizabeth Hruby-Mills.
Alverez, 57, faces a charge of first-degree felony murder in the May 2011 death of 29-year-old Jorge Veracruz.
Alverez and Veracruz were part of a group hanging out and drinking in Riverside Park, 700 N. 1400 West, on the evening of May 5, 2011.
The two men began arguing, and soon there was talk of fighting. When Veracruz walked away, Alverez fired three shots from a semiautomatic handgun, prosecutors say.
One shot struck Veracruz in the back of the right arm. A second went into the right side of his back. A third shot hit the left side of Veracruz's back, piercing his spleen, stomach and aorta before stopping in his lung.
Defense attorneys have said Alverez was protecting himself from a perceived threat. Alverez's defense attorney said the man believed Veracruz was going to rob him and fired only when he saw the victim reaching for something in a bag.
A mistrial was declared in October after a witness offered testimony defense attorneys said tainted the jury.
Alverez was convicted of homicide in 1980 for running over 59-year-old David Bingham with a truck in Ogden the previous year. Alverez was paroled in 1985 but has spent time in state and federal prison since then for various crimes.

"My address labels turned out so nice. They look so put together on my new tinyprints thank you note cards the elf design. Thank you."
"I used the template as is and did not customize it. I was unsure of how thrilled I would be with the quality once printed but was very happy when I received them sooner than expected. The paper is thin, basically a sticker (not a thick sticker). I was very happy with the quality and will order these again. If you're hesitant, just give it a shot. I don't think you'll be disappointed :)"
"I love these address labels. In addition to my holiday cards every year, I end up sending special occasion cards and am frantically looking for something festive but versatile to go with the card. These work perfectly!"
"I love address return stickers. So when I came across these, I was in love! Perfect for our quirky Christmas Cards! Great quality, great design. Overall, very happy."

Phoenix Rolls Past High Point 3-0 for Third Straight Win
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
DAVIDSON, N.C. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay volleyball team (6-5) picked up its second sweep in as many matches at the Davidson Wildcat Classic, defeating High Point 3-0 (25-23, 25-20, 25-17) Saturday morning at Belk Arena. The Phoenix aims for the weekend sweep and tournament title this afternoon, taking on host Davidson in the finale at 4 p.m. CT.
After starting the season with a 1-3 record, the Phoenix is now over .500 for the first time in 2012. Green Bay has won five of its last seven matches, including four of its last five and each of its last three. In addition, the win over High Point (9-5) moves the Phoenix to 5-0 in neutral-site contests.
"It was a good three-set win for us this morning against a strong High Point team," head coach Debbie Kirch said. "They have a very fast offense, which we were able to slow down with our serve and block. I thought our hitters also did well against a good defensive team. Now the goal is to finish strong this afternoon against Davidson and take the tournament title."
Green Bay finished with the advantage in nearly every statistical category, out-doing the Panthers in hitting percentage (.281-.177), kills (47-36), assists (43-34), digs (54-46) and service aces (4-1).
The Phoenix got another big match from junior Leah Van Zeeland (Kaukauna, Wis.), who reached double-digit kills for the fifth straight contest and registered her fifth double-double of the year with 13 kills and 12 digs. Classmate Monica Anderson (Cottage Grove, Wis.) also reached double-figures in kills, tallying 11. Junior Leah Poel (Jenison, Mich.) finished with a match-high 36 assists - tying her best three-set total of the season - and senior Brittany Groth (Oak Creek, Wis.) paced all players with 19 digs.
Green Bay trailed 14-11 midway through the first set, but rallied to take a 20-17 lead following a kill by Anderson, forcing a High Point timeout. The Panthers fought back, however, knotting the score at 20-20, and the two squads traded points until it was 23 all. A Van Zeeland kill gave the Phoenix a set point chance, and an attack error by HPU ended it 25-23, giving Green Bay the 1-0 lead.
The Phoenix built an 18-11 cushion in the second after back-to-back kills by Anderson and Van Zeeland, and was able to hold off the Panthers down the stretch for the 25-20 victory. Junior Lyndsay Zabkowicz (Oak Creek, Wis.) had a strong second set, recording four of her nine kills.
The third set saw Green Bay open up a 13-5 lead and never look back. One of Carmen Leitermann's (Schofield, Wis.) five kills made it 22-14, and the Phoenix closed it out 25-17 to secure the sweep.
Live stats and live video will be available for Green Bay's match against Davidson this afternoon at 4 p.m. CT. It will be the final contest of Green Bay's nine-match road trip before the team opens Horizon League play at home against Cleveland State next Friday.

North Carolina Head Coach Roy Williams
On if today's success makes the previous performance against Texas more frustrating:
"Yeah, because I think we can really shoot, and if you can really shoot then you are supposed to do it every night. It makes it more frustrating, but also we've got to establish more of an inside game to have balance. To me, the key to the game today was that we just made a lot of shots. Everybody has heard me say it a thousand times, but everything looks better when the ball goes in the basket - but we've got to have more balance inside."
On Marcus Paige's performance:
"Like I said it was a good day, 9-0 [assists-turnovers]. That's the best he's ever been. His assist-turnover ratio has been okay, but it hasn't been great. 9-0 is great. We had a nice chat yesterday after practice. I still think he's a really good shooter, too. The ball just hasn't gone in the basket as often this year. I think he played better defensively, too. The last two games I thought Dexter [Strickland] and Marcus [Paige] didn't do what we wanted them to do as the two guys out in front of our defense, and I challenged them a little bit before the game."
On if today was a step forward for the team:
"I think so. Again, I go back to the defensive side of the ball more than anything because we've had trouble this year stopping dribble penetration. I said, whenever the preseason press conference was, that I thought we would be a good defensive team, and we have not been so far. Teams haven't shot great percentages against us in most cases, but we haven't been a great defensive team. I think we did some things today that we can build on, particularly with supporting and containing the dribble."
McNeese State Head Coach Dave Simmons
Toughness of the North Carolina team:
"[In] this type of environment, you cannot build a big deficit like we did in the first half. They affected our shots in the post and they are a tremendous rebounding team. They were good all night, the three-point line, we played some zone, played some man, and still could not stop them. We missed shots, and they hit shots to build their confidence and they made us nervous and caused us to turn the ball over."
Bright spots in the team's game today:
"I am proud of the way our guys fought back in the end. It was a good game for us, it is telling us where we need to go if we want to play teams like this. It's humbling. There are some positive things that came out of this. We only had ten turnovers compared to the twenty we've had in the past few games. "
North Carolina's Perimeter Shooting in today's game:
"The one thing they have done well the last few games is shoot the ball well, and they did tonight. To guard the three-point line we tried to mix it up, played some zone, played some man, and they were just tough all night. Bullock and their perimeter guys lit us up when we went zone. If they shoot the ball like that it is going to be tough for anybody to beat them. Leslie McDonald hit some big shots for them in game, and that made the difference in this game. We respected them and knew that they were capable of playing like this."
UNC Player Quotes
Reggie Bullock:
On how the team performs when they pass and assist well:
"We do a great job sharing the ball. Sometimes one player holds the ball too long when there's an open teammate, but I think we do a great job of sharing the ball and transitioning and finding shooters. We have to continue to do those things in order to succeed against UNLV and moving into conference play."
On how the Texas game pushed the team to play better today:
"We saw the little mental mistakes that we were making, and we practiced those things and tried to prepare for McNeese State."
P.J. Hairston:
On how well the team did after losing to Texas
"A win always makes you feel better. The main thing is that we did better this game and we played with more heart and we played together as a team. Against Texas I think we tried to do a little too much on our own and tried to force shots. Texas was converting on our turnovers and getting fast break points off of bad shots."
On being asked what the difference is between the games North Carolina has won and the ones North Carolina has lost
"It's just a matter of making the shots. There hasn't been anything that has bothered me. I have to come out and make open shots; sometimes I make them, sometimes I don't. I try to do other things like getting on the offensive boards and getting rebounds and easy baskets."
On how "together" the team is
"Me and Reggie (Bullock) talked about it and basically we just need to play together as a unit and if we play together and play well, there's no one that can beat us. I'm not saying we're prefect, but we're going to make it hard for other teams to guard us."
On how North Carolina was able to keep a big lead in the second half
"At halftime I told the team, 'We can't come out in the second half and let the other team score 60 points in the second half', like we have been doing. I said, 'We need to keep up the intensity on defense and try to contain their two best players and we'll be fine.' We came out in the second half and did it."
Marcus Paige:
On his team's performance today compared to Wednesday's game
"I think we just had a lot more focus. We didn't play even close to what we're capable of playing. We really wanted to come out and set the tone early at Texas and that didn't happen. We're trying to come together as a team and really buy in, like Coach has been saying these last couple days."
On his performance today (9 assists, 0 turnovers) and how it is apart of his team's growing process
"It feels good to see those numbers as a point guard. Guys were making shots and because we held them to a low field goal percentage, we were able to get easy baskets. That made my job a whole lot easier too. "
On the key to keeping turnovers low
"Just having confidence in my own abilities is a lot of it. I sat down and talked to Coach a little bit about being confident in who I am as a player and playing to my own strengths instead of trying to do everything the right way. I just need to play my own game. "
On his post-practice conversations with Coach Williams
"It's not a frequent thing but every once in awhile he'll pull me over and chat about anything he can do it help me, and vice versa. He's really good at getting the best out of his guys. He's a great 'player's coach.'"
On whether or not he needs a frequent confidence boost
"I don't think I need one, but when you sit down and your coach tells you he's still confident in you, it doesn't hurt. It definitely helps. It didn't do anything but boost my confidence even more and help me relax and play my game. "

Tomorrow I'll be at a beach resort in Mazatlan, Mexico, and the last thing I want to do is bring Tibet and Xi Jinping and Chinese politics with me. No new posts for at least eight or nine days. You can use this as an open thread if you so choose. (I'll ask my hall monitors to watch out for thread hijackers.) Thanks, and enjoy the week ahead.
