IACUC MISSION: RWU's Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) will continue during disaster situations, natural or human, to oversee and monitor all research projects and laboratory classes utilizing vertebrates with the same integrity and dedication as regulated by OLAW and USDA.
BACKGROUND: Institutions must adhere to provisions of the PHS Policy, the Guide, and the commitments detailed in their Animal Welfare Assurance with OLAW. This includes advance planning for conditions that could arise as a result of a disaster situation (e.g. human pandemic such as influenza, hurricanes and other natural disasters) that could jeopardize the health and wellbeing of animals because of a lack of personnel to care for the animals and/or to conduct IACUC official business. OLAW DEFINITIONS:
OLAW Mandated Policies
RWU Plan for Emergency Animal Care
The RWU IACUC will adopt the PHS policy provisions for animal care measures in the event of an emergency or pandemic situation including:
OLAW Reporting Responsibilities
PHS Policy (IV.F.3) describes three rather specific circumstances that require a prompt report to OLAW: "The IACUC, through the Institutional Official, shall promptly provide OLAW with a full explanation of the circumstances and actions taken with respect to: a. any serious or continuing noncompliance with this Policy; b. any serious deviation from the provisions of the Guide; or c. any suspension of an activity by the IACUC1."
It should be apparent to most that there will likely be significant deficiencies and serious deviations from the Guide after a natural disaster. OLAW has published guidance on what constitutes "significant" and "serious" in the two slightly different contexts of semiannual reporting and prompt reporting5. "The term 'significant deficiency,' used in the PHS Policy and the USDA Animal Welfare Regulations, refers to any facility or program deficiency that is or may be a threat to the health or safety of animals. Program or facility deficiencies, including accidents and natural disasters, which cause injury, death, or severe distress to animals, are, by definition, 'significant'. Although it is not possible to provide an exhaustive listing of examples, some illustrations of significant facility deficiencies include failures in heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems and their associated electrical systems; inoperative watering systems; and general power failures of sufficient duration to affect critical areas such as isolators, barriers, surgical suites, and intensive care units…. When deficiencies involve serious or continuing noncompliance with the PHS Policy, serious deviations from the [Guide], or the IACUC suspension of any activity, the circumstances and actions taken must be reported promptly to OPRR [now OLAW] as required in section IV.F.3.a–c. of the PHS Policy. Reporting of such deficiencies should not be deferred for inclusion in the institutional annual report5."
Answers to the question of when to report will vary depending on the circumstances, but OLAW would like to hear from institutions as soon as possible after the acute crisis phase, and before the inevitable inquiries start coming in from other sources. One of those other sources may be the NIH director asking OLAW about how all those NIH-funded animals at (insert name of your institution) are doing. Animal rights activists may take such an opportunity to initiate complaints, as we saw immediately after Tropical Storm Allison. It is extremely important for us to be able to reassure ourselves and other interested parties that we know what is happening and that everything possible is being done to take care of the animals. The most common way for you to report promptly to OLAW is by telephone; however, fax, email, and other forms of communication all qualify as a "prompt report." Other reasons to call, aside from being a requirement, include the possibility that we can be of assistance; we may have access to resources or contacts that can help your institution deal with the problems.
As institutions begin to emerge from the acute crisis phase, there will undoubtedly be actions that take immediate priority because of the need to mitigate or prevent further losses. Such priorities include relocating animals, saving frozen tissues and samples, and recovering essential computer files and other records. Although this article does not attempt to elaborate on the disaster preparation phase, an institution's ability to minimize secondary losses will depend substantially on the effectiveness of that preparation. For example, accurate risk assessment and appropriate prevention strategies may keep animals and other critical assets out of harm's way for certain types of emergencies.
Next is the difficult task of rebuilding. At this stage, OLAW really does need to know more about the institution's "reasonable and specific plan and schedule1" to get back to a fully compliant state. PHS Policy does allow for certain deficiencies to exist at Assured institutions provided that they have been identified, along with credible correction plans. These plans are often negotiated with OLAW through the prompt and annual reporting processes and become an integral part of the institutional Assurance. Longer-term disaster recovery efforts may be viewed in the same context as correction of other more routine facility or program deficiencies. Though often on a different scale of importance, the semiannual facility inspection and program review process provides a good model for addressing the disaster recovery phase, which should include establishing specific target dates for correction and should monitor progress on an ongoing basis until completion.
Sometimes a recovery plan requires the development of interim plans. While some damaged facilities may not be suitable for their original design function, they may still be satisfactory to support a more limited role. For example, a damaged building HVAC system may not provide adequate ventilation for animal housing at full capacity, yet it may be acceptable for reduced population loads or lower levels of isolation or containment (OLAW 2009).[1]

Security Testimonial
On May 22, 2011, an EF-5 tornado completely destroyed my mother's house in Joplin, MO.
Just wanted to share a pucture with you of the small security safe my mother had in her home when an EF-5 tornado completely destroyed her house in Joplin, MO on May 22, 2011. It was in a closet of a room that was totally emptied by the storm. We never found any of the furniture that was in that room, but this safe was found in her yard, opened and upside down, but all the contents were under it. We were amazed at how little damage it sustained, and we were happy not to have to replace all the important documents inside. Luckily, my 87yr. old mother survived the tornado too, and is still using it in her new home today.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Can't tell you specifically about the 76 models but in 73 the 440 was down to three levels of power (215, 220, and 280 hp.) That said don't worry too much. The heads will probably be 452's with 81.5 cc chambers which won't be too bad. Earlier castings might be a bit better and have smaller combustion chambers if you feel you need them. When it comes to the crank it's a crap shoot since Chrysler used both cast and forged cranks in 76 so you won't know till you tear it apart.
When it comes to building HP the 440 is a great starting point. If you're going to rebuild it anyway you can simply slip in a new set of pistons to bump up the compression to around 9.5 or 10:1 for a street motor and the rest is just replacing what needs it. If you plan on any racing I would definitely make sure you use a forged crank.
$500 is a good deal.
Good luck.
440 Compression Ratio Question!!!
I was thinking about buyinig a 440 from a guy i live near to swap my 340 out. However, his is a 76 motor. Does anyone know if the power level in these late model 440's is even any good? I know that the 340's dropped compression in 1972. I'm sure they did the same with the 440 but I can't seem to find it on the net. I would probably want to rebuild the motor anyways, but should I start off with a better 440 than a 1976 or can I produce great power no matter which block with a rebuild?
The guys selling it and the trans for $500. Thought I'd ask for some help before picking it up.

Subang, 1 February 2013 : Malaysia Airlines commenced operations today as a full member ofthe award winning oneworld airline alliance.
In commemoration of the event, a Malaysia Airlines' A330-300 showcasing the special oneworld livery took off as flight MH129 from Kuala Lumpur to Melbourne at 10:15am this morning with 263 passengers.
The aircraft displayed the aircraft's distinct design features ' oneworld ' in 6ft (2 metre) high blue letters along a white fuselage and the airline's standard tailfin, serving as a huge flying billboard highlighting that the national carrier of Malaysia is now a member of the alliance, offering the full range of oneworld services and benefits.
The oneworld logos will be applied by the side passenger entrance doors on Malaysia Airlines' entire fleet of 88 aircraft as part of a massive rebranding programme that will also see the alliance logo added virtually wherever the Malaysia Airlines' name is displayed—at airport check-in desks and signages, on its website, tickets, boarding passes and all items of stationery.
Malaysia Airlines' Group CEO Ahmad Jauhari was joined by Mr Michael Blunt, Vice-President Corporate Communications of oneworld Alliance, member carriers' uniformed representatives and senior management staff of Malaysia Airlines to send-off passengers on the flight, followed by a cake cutting ceremony with the participating airline staff.
In addition to the send-off, Malaysia Airlines entry to oneworld will be heavily promoted from today onwards via one of its biggest marketing campaigns in the airline's history with extensive advertisements highlighting the new alliance services and benefits available to its customers.
All cardholders in its Enrich frequent flyer programme have been sent new membership cards, bearing the oneworld logo and 'gemstone' tier indicator, to ensure they receive their alliance benefits from today when traveling on the alliance partners throughout the entire oneworld network.
Since accepting its invitation to join the alliance in June 2011, Malaysia Airlines has expanded its code-sharing relationships to four established oneworld partners – Cathay Pacific, Finnair, Japan Airlines and Royal Jordanian.
About Malaysia Airlines
Malaysia Airlines serves more than 60 destinations in almost 30 countries across Asia, Australasia, Middle East, Europe, and North America, including oneworld hubs Hong Kong, London Heathrow,Los Angeles, Sydney and Tokyo Narita.
Its present fleet of 88 aircraft – including its flagship Airbus A380s – operates more than 250 departures a day. It boarded 13 million passengers in 2011, generating revenues of MYR 13.6 billion (US$ 4.5 billion).
Malaysia Airlines describes its distinctive brand as an extension of the special culture of warmth and friendliness unique to Malaysians. This inimitable Malaysian sense of graciousness is branded as "Malaysian Hospitality" and symbolized by the acronym MH, which is also the airline's flight code.
Both Malaysia Airlines and its Kuala Lumpur hub are among the industry's most frequent winners of awards for quality service. Malaysia Airlines itself has won the 'World's Best Cabin Staff' award from the UK based Skytrax airline quality rating agency in seven of the past 11 years.
Last year, Malaysia Airlines marked the entry of its first A380 into its fleet by having its Five-Star Airline status renewed by Skytrax – as the airline embarked on a series of improvements to reposition it as a premium carrier.
About oneworld
oneworld is an alliance of the world's leading airlines committed to providing the highest level of service and convenience to frequent international travellers. oneworld airlines include airberlin, American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Finnair, Iberia, Japan Airlines, LAN, Qantas, Royal Jordanian and S7 Airlines, and around 30 affiliates. Malaysia Airlines will join on 1 February 2013 with SriLankan Airlines and Qatar Airways on track to join soon.
Between them, these airlines:
oneworld is currently the holder of three leading international awards for airline alliances - named the Best Airline Alliance by Global Traveler in its GT Tested Reader Survey 2012 Awards for the third year running, the World's Leading Airline Alliance in the 2012 World Travel Awards for the 10th year running, and Australian Business Traveller Best Airline Alliance in 2012 for the second year running.

McClean Vineyards Estate Private Reserve Syrah. Vertical from 2/22/2012. Amazing differences between the 2003 and 2005. Of course the Swordfish steaks, Risotto, and veggies were also amazingly different. But the wine even trumped the fish!

We didn't drink it. Too many people, too much beer. Back with his brothers he goes.
Hopefully an 09' Municipal Winemakers Dark Red.
And it was.
6/24/2012: Decanted in glass for an hour. Bottles notes this as 50% cab. & 50% Syrah and its made in an Aussie style
Color is a beautiful deep red with a black core. Nose and palate is dominated by black currant and plum, and the nose carries a slight green streak which does not come through on the tongue. What does come through is medium to high tannins which were unexpected but gave the wine a wonderful mouth feel. silky smooth with a lip licking dryness on the finish. All in all highly recommended.
It was also used in cooking. Braised Chicken with mushrooms and tomato's out of the William Sonoma Wine and food by Joshua Wesson which turned out wonderfully. Fed my pregnant wife and all were happy.

Good to know. Not that you failed, lol. I was just given a bottle as a gift.
The surprise of the afternoon (yah, we've started early) is our own 2011 CyberPub Cellars Rogue Rhone Blend.
Last minute guests (many) stopped by, and I pulled out 6 racks of already cooked BBQ'd baby back ribs, salad, chips, dips, etc. I already had over-chilled 2 bottles of the wine, to about 48-50 degrees, and then put in each glass a healthy twist of lemon rind, no pith. It is well received. I decide to put out a bottle of the wine, properly chilled, no lemon, and everyone enjoyed that, too, but commented on how the lemon actually added a nice acidity.
Inspiration Vineyards 08' Carneros Pinot. Opened but resting. Will comeback later with notes.
Edit: 6/29/2012: Because the wine is unfined and unfiltered I stood it up for a week prior to opening. I could see the sediment neatly sitting at the bottom and we were ready to go. The nose upon first opening is of fresh cut strawberries and cherries. As it opened up I got a little smoke as well. The palate is very tart and very zippy and the flavors match the nose.
At first it seemed like a very light Pinot but as I looked at it under bright lights it was very concentrated at its core which makes sense since it really packs a punch. This is very well made wine but not in a style that I really enjoyed. This is on the lighter side of Cali pinots but the flavors are very strong. Nothing subtle here.
Solid if not excellent wine Jon.
My CT notes on the Tallulah I noted above:
Aired in the bottle for about 30-45 minutes while dinner was cooking. Still a little muted and hot upon pouring but after another 20 minutes or so in the glass it quickly began to come together.
Color: If I only had color to go by I would of said this was a petite sirah. Very dark beautiful color.
Nose of blueberries and blackberries with a hint of baking spice; mostly cloves and nutmeg.
Taste: Nice fruit flavor with spices and hints of tobacco. Nice luscious, silky, mouthfeel, fairly short but pleasant finish with a bit of tartness.
Really enjoyable stuff and good QPR. Went very well with a Cajun rubbed rib-eye
Need something to go with my rack of lamb tonight. After finishing off last night's '07 Noceto Sangiovese Normale. Maybe an old Syrah or a Brunello or Barolo. Too bad I don't have any old CdP or proper Rhone.
Having a bottle of Hunt Cellars 2001 Reserve Cabernet, first with some Tallegio and peasant bread. Dinner is grass-fed ribeye, green beans (from the garden) and sweet potatoes topped w/ beau cheese. Surprisingly remarkable for a Paso wine (which I'm usually not a huge fan), 13.6%. Wonderful aged Cab characteristics of leather and spice. Fruit and tannin are still evident, but probably not too much life left in this one. I wish it had a bit more acidity, the finish has great potential, but then ends on a slightly sweet note (which I don't care for). It may lack the nuance and complexity of a nice aged Corison or Bordeaux, but this is a very good wine.
Just a tiny bit of the Jana Angel Eis, Riesling Ice Style Wine before I head out.
Domaine Du Pavillon Mercurol Crozes Hermitage
Earthy delicious black fruits low abv 12.5% perfect for a hot summer evening.

Went with a 2005 Terre da Vino Barolo. Evolved nicely in the decanter and has many years left in it.
09 Ty red blend is decanting. Glass now to sample. Not too bad right out of the bottle. Great QPR on the red blend

Great plants for fall and winter color
Cool-season flowers bring a splash of color to your garden right when you need it most.
Where freezes are infrequent, you can plant cheery pansies (pictured), snapdragons, English daisies, and more from early fall through late winter. They'll overwinter, filling your borders, containers, and pocket gardens with months of flower power.
In cold climates, plants will die off in winter but can be planted again in spring.
Look for sturdy plants with good leaf color in six-packs and 4-inch containers. Click ahead for some of our favorite picks for the cool season.

If we trade Hamilton and Cingrani, we better be getting a stud.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
It does make sense that Hamilton be left at SS (despite virtually all scouts of significance doubting his ability to play there at the big-league level) if he were being shined up for a trade.
However, he's back in the Pensacola lineup today.
I forgot to mention Brooks Pinckard is on the disabled list.

The money part is why I think all the trade talk that includes Hamilton is hot air. The Reds want him in Cincinnati someday with all the buzz growing he's money in the bank and butts in the seats...
I fully believe Hamilton is off limits though because of the PR machine that is. I wouldn't be actively trying to trade him by any means. But in the right kind of deal, he should be available.
Chris Joyce was activated from Bakersfield's disabled list.

Dioner Navarro was activated from the Bats' dl in time for Brian Peacock (strained lower back) to return there. Brett Tomko was also activated from the dl in Louisville.

Richard McCaffrey is leaving Arizona and going to Billings. Robert Stephenson was promoted to Dayton. Jefry Sierra went on Dayton's disabled list after he dislocated his shoulder. Radhames Quezada also went on the dl with a shoulder issue. Spencer Dickinson was activated from the disabled list. Interestingly enough, he has been playing third base for the Dragons.

Huawei hosted about 160 industry and financial analysts at its ninth annual analyst summit in Shenzhen, China in April 2012. The main takeaway for its consumer devices business was that consumer devices complete the end-to-end pitch for Huawei. Huawei showcased its growing capabilities across the wireless industry value chain. Most notably, Huawei made a foray into the smart devices domain with its own brand of smartphones and tablets. In 2011, Huawei shipped 20 million smartphones and 60 million mobile broadband devices like dongles. The smartphone market is already overcrowded with heavyweights such as Apple, Samsung, Nokia, and Motorola; thus, it might seem that Huawei may not be able to make a very profitable business from selling these devices. However, we believe that this move will bring indirect benefits to Huawei's core Carrier Network division in the following two ways:

Natalie & Numa
October 7
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Q & A with the Bride:
1. What was the one thing about your venue that made you know it was the one?
It reminded me of a NYC loft–Numa and I are originally from New York, and we wanted a NYC chic, modern feel. The brick walls and tall windows really impressed us. We had visited three other venues in that same day, but the minute we walked into Tendenza, we knew we had found the perfect WOW factor!
2. Which four details from your wedding were your favorites?
1. I loved my dress! I didn't want the night to end because I want to take it off.
2. My florists did such an AMAZING job with the ceremony and reception centerpieces.
3. We had 16×20 engagement pictures on easels all over the ceremony and reception.
4. I also loved Numa's tuxedo! He looked so handsome! I remember walking down the aisle toward him, and I felt so lucky!
3. Give us the one moment from your wedding day that you cannot stop thinking about.
It's so hard not to say the whole day! But I remember the moment I had to say my vows–that moment was electrifying. I felt every word in my entire being. It was really special, especially to see Numa cry. I knew he felt it too.


text: Very impressive performance by Davis & White at Skate America. They are now unbeaten since the 2011/12 season when they lost both 4CC and Worlds to Virtue & Moir. Hence, in terms of a winning streak, they have certainly built up considerable momentum. Moreover, at the 2013 World Championships, they set new world records for the SD and overall combined total scores. Earlier in the same season, at the 2013 4CC, they had set a new world record for the FD score. Nevertheless, Virtue & Moir also looked in good form at this seasons Finlandia Trophy. Its early in the season, but at this juncture, who would you install as the favourite for the Ice Dance Olympic gold medal if you were a bookie?

Long-time Wayne Law Library Director Georgia Clark Co-Founder of LLMC
DETROIT (Sept. 2, 2008) – Upon meeting Wayne State University Law School long-time Law Library Director Georgia Clark one immediately gets a sense of her passion for and dedication to providing students, alumni and community members with access to legal information.
"The ability to seek out information is so crucial to society," Clark said. "Preservation of information, delivery of information, accessibility of information is what I'm all about."
What people may not know, however, is that the ever-gracious and humble Clark is one of the masterminds behind the single largest library consortium in existence.
More than 30 years ago, Clark, along with then Wayne Law Dean Donald Gordon and University of Hawaii Law Library Director Jerry DuPont, saw a need for better preserving legal documents and providing enhanced methods of accessibility to a wider variety of publics. Together, they embarked on a journey that would forever change the face of legal library services.
Through their efforts and the seed money raised from foundations and private individuals, the Wayne Law Arthur Neef Law Library and the University of Hawaii Law Library partnered in 1976 to launch the Law Library Microform Consortium (LLMC), a non-profit cooperative of libraries. Its initial mission? To "preserve legal titles and government documents on film, while making copies inexpensively available in microfiche format."
According to LLMC's website, it provides libraries with a reliable and budget-friendly source of film replacement when their older, physically deteriorating books become too burdensome to store. While aiding libraries in their preservation and space recovery programs, it also provides an economical way to complete retrospective collections.
LLMC launched its online service in 2003, called LLMC-Digital, and by 2005 all data capture conducted by LLMC was accomplished through digital scanning. Today, LLMC's mission has expanded to include preservation and accessibility digitally through LLMC-Digital.
"LLMC has helped our Law Library and law libraries around the world build better collections and share precious reference materials that would've otherwise been accessible to the very few," Clark said. "Through this cooperative, information and documents found around the world are able to find a home among their respective collections."
Some of those special collections pieced together by LLMC and now available through Wayne Law's Arthur Neef Law Library include the Canon Law Collection, Native American Collection, The Yale Law Library Blackstone Collection and the U.S. Military Law: History and Development collection – just to name a few.
So who has access to all this information? Today, subscribers to LLMC span the globe. Approximately 90 percent of American Association of Law Libraries-affiliated American law schools, 75 percent of Canadian law schools, and virtually every library serving units of the U.S. Federal Court System are members and have access to more than 50-million page images.
In what began as a conversation between colleagues, LLMC is now partnered with heavy-hitters such as Google and PublicResource.org to enable even greater accessibility to legal information online. Even so, Clark remains humble about her role with LLMC and continues to pay more attention to the impact the Consortium will have on future generations of information seekers.
"I never imagined LLMC getting as big as it has," Clark said. "It is a legacy that will last indefinitely and will continue to provide and deliver necessary information to all parts of the world for years to come."
Clark began her Wayne Law career in 1973 and has served as the director since 1976. She earned a bachelor's degree from College of St. Scholastica and her master's degree in Library Science from the University of Michigan. She was recently honored as the Special Treasure Honoree at Wayne Law's 2008 Treasure of Detroit Gala.

Ok So I Been Eye Up a 625 for some time Would Really Like a 3'' so Who can Give Me Some Insight just don't like the J M Grips :rolleyes:

Ok So I Been Eye Up a 625 for some time Would Really Like a 3'' so Who can Give Me Some Insight just don't like the J M Grips :rolleyes:
I have a 25-2, a 625PC and 625JM. The JM has a grooved trigger with fully lugged barrel. The PC has a half-lugged barrel that is set back slightly with a slightly shorter cylinder. It has a smooth trigger and weighs about 1.4 oz. less.
I don't like the JM grips either, and I don't particularly like the gold bead front sight, so mine currently have Hogue grips with a black, serrated ramp front sight. The front sight is spring loaded, so it is easily removed.
I have been shooting .45 ACP revos for nearly 40 yrs. All are very accurate. I have semi-retired the 25-2. It is a blued classic and I consider the finish more delicate than the stainless guns. It has a Performance Center action job with a narrow, smooth trigger and a 5" barrel. The JM probably has the best trigger, but it also has been used enough to get thoroughly broken in. The PC is the newest. It is good, but it is still breaking in and continuing to get smoother.
I like them. They are a nice combination of power, controllability and accuracy. What's not to like? I mostly shoot .45 AR in them. I have shot IPSC with the 25-2, but I am slow on the reloads and not really competitive with it. I shoot A's with it, but I was pretty slow. I was much faster with my 1911.
The JM grips are lame but easily changed out... Get that gun dude!

The College's original faculty was 6 members strong.
Dr. Perry and Carolyn then turned their attention to choosing the first permanent location for the College. It was during Dr. Perry's tenure that the College moved from School 3 on Chemung Street to the Spencer Hill campus.
The College and the Foundation are pleased to honor Dr. William and Mrs. Carolyn Perry for their tireless and selfless work to secure the College's place in the community and transform the lives of future generations of students.

... aside from the irrelevant racial demographic.
Sounds to me like the alarm worked. As one will, 99.9% of the time.
Glad you both came away o-kay.
So this year for school my best friend and I rented an appt within walking distance of school (3 min walk). We've been here since the middle of August or so, and everyone has been fairly nice. It's probably about 20-25% black, and there is at least .5-.75 miles from any houses to the closest part of the appt complex. While the area within 15 minutes of driving can definitely be very rough (Price Hill area of Cincinnati, OH), the immediate vicinity (1-1.5 mi radius) is not bad. We live on the 7th floor, 11 units on our side in a row with an elevator in the middle of the row and a set of steps at both ends. Our appt is at 1 end next to a set of steps. We have 1 main door with a deadbolt that we use a 128 decible door jam/alarm on at night since I'm a very heavy sleeper. The only other door is a sliding glass door, but as it faces a balcony with a 7 floor drop, we aren't too worried.
Enough background...I went to bed about 10:30 because I had class this morning at 8, and my roomate, Baret, was playing Xbox (COD4 for those who care) at the time. Come 1:50, things got hairy. I wake up to the alarm going off and within seconds, my roommate screaming for me. I grab my .40XDSC and begin to run out, forgetting my glasses (aka, I really want LASIK now lol). I start to wake up more and realize that my roommate wasn't screaming in the type of voice that indicated someone had a knife to his throat at the moment, so I ran back 5 ft to get my glasses. I come out drawn, and see he is kneeling reverse on the couch facing the door so an entering goblin could only see his head and enough of arms plus his Glock 23. I come out of the hallway to his right and spin to my right to face the door, which I see open 3 inches or so (stopped by the door jam/alarm). We cover each other as we advance towards the door, and I cover it as he opens it before ducking so I can see the whole entry. We look out into the hallway after seeing the end door (far stairway, ~75 yds away) closing, and we wait to see if we see someone running in the parking lot. Noone goes out and we don't hear anything for a few minutes. I've called 911 by this point (of course, the 1st time it dials and hangs up without an answer), and they're sending officers. We hole back up in the appt and wait for the cops. The cops didn't seem all that concerned with gathering evidence, but it was not as though there was much they could have done. I'll have pics of the scratches around the deadboltup ASAP.
It was amazing how calm and chilled we were while it was happening (not trying to boast or saying we did the right things), but afterwards we both shook like leafs and felt so drained after the adrenaline wore off. It was certainly an experience, and we're going to continue to be all but religious about setting the alarm and keeping up with training (we had gone shooting earlier in the day lol). Figured I'd share this story with everyone...
... aside from the irrelevant racial demographic.
Sounds to me like the alarm worked. As one will, 99.9% of the time.
Glad you both came away o-kay.
Thanks for the concern.
And yes, my experience spoke volumes to me about the importance of having some type of warning system, whether an alarm, a dog, etc.
i'm glad every thing worked out ok.as for the glasses,i don't use any myself but thinking about it,it seems something that those who use them have something to work out first before pulling a trigger.maybe,easy access and some practise is in order....but you did good,just don't forget the glasses next time,lol.you might need those few seconds....or some surgery,lol.
Sounds like you had a close call. Analyze why your apartment was chosen if you can. Keep in mind that unlike a lot of the CSI type shows there is not a lot of usable evidence to gather from your kind of incident. If you can isolate what made you a target, you will be ahead in the future. Keep your glasses closer than your gun, I wear corrective lenses and do so with mine. I wear contacts during the day and have my glasses standing by overnight. A lock is useful for keeping honest people honest and not much else. Any lock can be over come by force, a jamb spreader, or a skilled burglar. You kept your head and that is the most important thing.
We haved lived in Cincinnati twice; NCH, Deer Park and Colerain. Left for the last time 8 years ago.
Unless it has changed, I would suggest you get out of Price Hill and be inconvienced.
Raised in Norwood back in the good days. Left in 1980 (work transfer). Sure hate to see how it has gone down hill.

Simon Shaheen – Buy his music here
"Simon Shaheen dazzles his listeners as he deftly leaps from traditional Arabic sounds to jazz and Western classical styles. His soaring technique, melodic ingenuity, and unparalleled grace have earned him international acclaim as a virtuoso on the 'oud and violin.
Shaheen is one of the most significant Arab musicians, performers, and composers of his generation. His work incorporates and reflects a legacy of Arabic music, while it forges ahead to new frontiers, embracing many different styles in the process. This unique contribution to the world of arts was recognized in 1994 when Shaheen was honored with the prestigious National Heritage Award at the White House.

text: MTA urges state to modify proposed ELL training regs and adjust PD requirements The MTA has submitted public comments urging the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to allow teachers who received so-called "category training" in how to teach English language learners to count that training toward meeting new regulatory requirements under consideration. Since teachers are extremely challenged with all that is demanded of them currently, the MTA also urged the DESE to modify license renewal regulations so that teachers may count both the new ELL instruction and training in the new evaluation system toward the 150 Professional Development Points they need to renew their licenses. In addition, the MTA asked the DESE to extend the deadline by when teachers must receive the new ELL training and said that the training should be provided at no cost to educators required to participate. For a copy of MTA's comments and a link to the DESE's proposal and additional information, go to the MTA ELL Toolkit. In a cover memo to DESE, the MTA wrote, "The MTA believes that all students deserve teachers who have the training and skills needed to teach them effectively. Our members experience first hand the challenges of teaching English language learners (ELLs) and understand the need for teachers of ELLs to receive high-quality training in Sheltered English Immersion (SEI) instruction. ELLs and their teachers will benefit if the changes required by the U.S. Department of Justice are developed with input from practitioners and implemented in a rational and orderly way." The proposed regulations are in a response to a finding by the U.S. Department of Justice that many Massachusetts educators have inadequate training, or no training at all, in how to teach ELLs under the state's SEI law, which was approved by the voters in 2002. The Board of Elementary and Secondary Education is scheduled to vote May 22 on the new regulations. If approved, the regulations will require tens of thousands of teachers in certain "core academic subjects" to participate in significant new professional development designed to improve how they teach ELL students. The proposed regulations would also alter course requirements for pre-service teachers and require teachers who don't fall under the designated "core academic teachers" requirement to receive 15 PDPs in ELL instruction and another 15 in special needs instruction in order to renew their licenses after July 1, 2014.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by blueadams, Jan 12, 2012.
I want a guy that will pee in a trash can at a casino.
lol, I almost spit taked my coffee
I think we need a guy that will stand up to his coach. If the coach tries to get the team to do something stupid like play unselfish or work on defense, the player simply needs to stage a revolt.
We need a guy that is good at communicating with the security guards.
lmao, yeah but then we also need the coach to be good at that too. and those coaches are hard to find
The ghost of Darko looms large.
Wow. I don't think you guys have any idea how to build a winning team.
Winning? Who said anything about winning? That's the old NBA.
We know exactly how because we saw it happen. Just get some no-namer underachievers, bring them together at the right time, supplement them with a crazy dude, and hire a grumpy old coach to teach them life lessons.
I never realized how similar the 2004 Pistons were to the Bad News Bears.
The Bad News Boys! Pretty funny. We'd be so disgruntled if the Pistons wouldn't have won that '04 ship by the way. It really helps to know that we got one to brush off all of the close calls and the torturous decline.
it's strange having to root for losses in order to tank... yesterday against Charlotte for instance, I was not happy about winning against a direct competitor for the ping pong balls
Lots of good posts in here! I think it is too early to start crossing positions off the list that the Pistons don't need. The Pistons should take the best player even if they play Monroe's position. Think Portland not taking Jordan because they already had Clyde Drexler. As long as they're unusually methodical for a 20 yr old and play beneath the rim then I don't care who they pick.
Ah, Ernie, first, this team needs ...luck...this team is top3 in sucking but not to3 in drafting...
Don't need luck if you have a plan.........Tay, start driving !!!
I want somebody who can play above the rim. Block shots, rebound, and throw down lobs. Andre Drummond and Anthony Davis are obvious choices. Don't sleep on John Henson. He's a pogo stick who can do a lot of things without the ball. With Henson, I'm interested to see how his body develops between now and the combine. He's too skinny. We don't need another forward tweener. I really like Sullinger. I'm just worried that he would have a hard time playing with Monroe. I'm keeping my eye on Myers Leonard. He has all the tools, but I would like to see him dominate some games. 7'0 dudes with his athleticism should be monsters, not just "good".
The biggest concern about Drummond is his dessire of greatness. It seems basketball is just a hobby for him.. For what I read, he is the one with the most potential but he is still too raw. But he is a true Center and have a body. Anthony Davis (tonight) scored 27 ponits 14 rebounds and 7 blocks against Arkansas. If you want blocks, Davis or Drummond will fill that need. For now on, it seems Davis will fill it sooner, and Drummond later. Davis is a PF, not even think of him as a Center. Perry Jones is someone that nobody is speaking about, atl east, not in this thread. I like him, not sure if he is what we really need. If we miss Anthony Davis and Drummond, then its all about this: We need a big, so, Sullinger, Perry Jones must be the obvious picks. But I'm not that high on Sullinger, he is 6-8 and is not very atlethic beneath the rim. we really don't need that, We need a explosive big who can jump higher for rebounds, blocks and dunks than Monroe. Perry Jones have the size and the jump, but despite I like him ,I have my doubts about him being a little bit too lazy. I think the best move if we miss Davis and Drummond is go for the best players abailable, then I think Harrison Barnes and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist are the choices. Both are small forwards, both will be awesome players in the NBA. Sorry if I wrote too much, but everything about this pistons season is already said and read. we are officaly Tanking
Watched the UK game tonight. Davis looks pretty good. He's still built like a teenager. Once he fills out, he will be hard for opposing players to handle. His line looked good tonight, 27 points, 14 rebounds, and 7 blocks. Small grain of salt: Arkansas is a pretty small team, so those numbers are a little inflated.
Anthony Davis may never be a great offensive player, but he definitely can bring it on the defensive end. He's a shot-blocking freshman who rarely gets into foul trouble. That's special.
I'll say it... if there a top 3 player, they better be more then a one way player... we need a player that is going to be an all star quality player year in and year out not just a def stopper (there isn't going to be another Big Ben in todays ruled NBA). If we somehow get better and slide in the draft to around 10 then you take a chance on a player that is unbalanced to one end of the floor or the other...

KICK-OFF! Brazil 0-0 Germany
Bernard appears to be playing through the centre.
Brazil are in yellow shirts, blue shirts and white socks, while Germany play in the change strip of red and black, by the way.
I think it's Bernard. It could be one of the mascots
Early corner for Brazil as Bastian Schweinsteiger can't keep the ball in play after Maicon goes on a run down the flank.
2″ – Mesut Ozil loses his footing and Brazil are pressing well early doors here, seeing plenty if the ball – encouraging from the hosts.
. I'll double-check for you, though you can't be wrong.
Captains David Luiz and Philipp Lahm shake hands with referee Marco Rodriguez, and we're almost ready to go.
wy, I'm going Germany 2-1.
I think Germany are the better team, but I think Brazil are going to win 2-1.
Though Bernard is a bit of an unknown, the other Brazilian lineup replacement is pretty familiar to Germany.
The German anthem plays out, and now the Brazilian – the players hold aloft a Neymar shirt.
These teams have only met once at a World Cup, the 2002 Final (2-0 to Brazil). Miroslav Klose is the only player on either roster who appeared in that game.
The Brazilian theme finishes, but as always, the singing doesn't – that is LOUD..
Hammin, I believe it was a black shirt

AMES, Iowa — Iowans are noticing changes in their trees this summer and asking Iowa State University Extension and Outreach horticulture specialists about symptoms that may indicate stress or decline in the health of their trees. The specialists answer several of those questions and are available to answer additional questions through the Iowa State Hortline at firstname.lastname@example.com or 515-294-3108. Visit the Yard and Garden FAQs website at http://expert.hort.iastate.edu/ to find answers to tree and other yard and garden questions.
The loss of leaves is probably due to hot, dry weather or Japanese beetle feeding.
The hot, dry weather in recent weeks has been stressful to trees. Some trees, like the river birch, cope with the hot, dry weather by shedding some of their leaves. Leaves in the interior of the river birch turn yellow and drop to the ground. Healthy, well-established trees should not be seriously damaged by the hot, dry weather of recent weeks. The hot, dry weather poses a more serious risk to trees in poor health and those planted in the last three to five years. Recently planted trees should be watered approximately every seven to 10 days during dry weather.
Japanese beetles feed on more than 300 different plants. Some of their favorites are linden, elm, birch, pussywillow, cherry and some crabapple varieties. Japanese beetles eat the leaf tissue between the veins, leaving lacy-looking or skeletonized leaves. The skeletonized leaves turn brown. Many of the damaged leaves drop to the ground. Defoliation of well established, healthy trees is usually not fatal. Defoliation is most harmful to recently planted trees (those planted in the last three to five years) and trees in poor health. A thorough watering every seven to 10 days during dry weather should help young trees cope with the loss of their foliage.
Shedding bark on some trees is a completely normal development. The bark of most young trees is smooth and thin. As the tree grows, the bark layer thickens with the outermost tissue eventually dying. Continued growth pushes the bark outward, sometimes causing the outer layers to crack. On some trees, the outer dead layers peel and drop off, revealing the inner layers of bark. Shedding or peeling bark is characteristic of trees such as sycamore, redbud, silver maple, paperbark maple, shagbark hickory, birch and lacebark pine. The grayish brown bark on a large sycamore tree, for example, flakes off in irregular blotches, revealing a cream or whitish gray inner bark. The loss of the outer layers of bark on sycamores is completely normal.
It's likely the pile of sawdust-like material was produced by carpenter ants. Carpenter ants commonly nest inside older, hollow trees or in trees with dead limbs or branches. Carpenter ants do not eat wood. However, they excavate some of the soft, decaying wood inside the tree to form their nest cavity. The sawdust-like material is often deposited in a pile at the base of the tree. Carpenter ants do not seriously harm trees. However, extensive wood decay weakens a tree and makes it more susceptible to storm damage.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
The amount of obvious confusion in this thread regarding Seawinds is surprising.
Number #1....If you can find a Seawind for $10,000 that is not an absolute basket-case...snap it up!!! Seawinds are worth far more than that.
I really had to laugh at the one commenter that suggested you'll never get your money and intimated that it would be an upside-down investment.
NEVER, EVER buy a boat as a financial investment. That is ludicrous. You don't buy and equip a boat for offshore use with an eye to what you'd get for it if you ever sell it any more than you'd raise a child with an eye to what his/her net material worth would be in 30 years. I find that type of thinking myopic and almost offensive.
When the surveyor (a very knowledgable, experienced blue-water boat specialist) looked over my 1963 Seawind ketch, he gave it a replacement value of $145,000. Granted that is not "market-value", but instead, the amount it would cost to build a boat of similar quality and workmanship today...he also stated that was a very conservative amount, noting the sales prices of inferior vessels such as Catalinas and Hunters.
Seawinds are extremely robustly made....I've tested out that robustness many times now. To compare it with what 30 foot clorox-bottles are going for is merely specious and shows a lack of consideration as to the build quality of the hull, deck and house.
Many boats built in the sixties were built with end-grain balsa deck core. As stuff like Air-X and keflex(sp), and other high-end closed-cell foam core didn't exist at that time, end-grain balsa was the best you could get back then. But anytime you have balsa-core, you have to properly re-bed all deck fittings religiously....do that, and balsa will last a LONG time. Don't do that and the balsa will soak.
Note that there is a difference in interior layout between a small 30 foot or less offshore boat and a 30 foot coastal cruiser...as looking at any Catalina 30 would show you - they are HUGE down below. But huge down below is NOT a good thing in 20 foot seas.
For reasons I cannot fathom, Allied Seawinds have always had ridiculously LOW used market prices. Far too low for their quality and type of UN-modified full-keel offshore hull with beautiful sailing characteristics.
I think they remain low beacuse people now expect sailboats to be more like Catalina, Hunter, Benetau floating Winnebagos, albeit fairly fast, with big wide interiors and swivel seats down below. Sad. Thomas Gillmer designed the Seawind as an offshore boat that would and could take you anywhere in the world. That is the Seawind's primary directive. Too compare them to a clorox-boat just because they share the same set of build-years is like I said...specious and shortsighted.
One thing....Seawinds were essentially a product of the sixties and seventies...and as such they have one drawback: Formica!!!!!! Get rid of that horrible Formica counter-top and table-top and you'll be good to go!
I replaced the Formica countertops on mine with cobalt blue tile and replaced the table formica with an antique world chart under about 20 coats of clear epoxy...and put in maple and ash veneer in the fore-cabin and chain-locker access hatch, and put copper sheeting for the galley surrounds. Interior looks really nice now...like the cabin on an old pilot schooner.
The point is Seawinds are worth FAR more than their market-value, as long as they are well maintained with forethought. I would put them in the same build-quality and ruggedness category as Cape George, or Ingrid or Bristol Channel Cutter (without the custom cabin-roof, though)...and so as far as current selling prices, they present an awfully good deal for one wanting a small ketch to comfortably cross oceans, and one that also sails the bay like a dream.
|Sure send me some pictures. My email is daniel.cockerline - at - gmail.com
yes it's true, $20K kind of limits your choice, but look you´´re a sailnet guy, so maybe I can offer you something attractive. I am going to offer mine at 29,000. She needs a new shaft seal, but if you want to take care of that I can let her go for near the price you are thinking of paying. She is a good clean boat. I can send you a full description and fotos if you e mail me. She is in Key Largo.
|Yeah still interested in the Seawinds but.... I think I have seen every one on the east coast at this point. I am trying to spend 20k or less which pretty much thins it down to just a few, most of which are in really bad shape. There just aren't that many out there. Found one which I tried to buy and the seller decided to keep it last minute. Back to square one! These really are a solid boat though. I have learned a lot about them. Let me know if you come across any good ones! In the mean time I will probably buy a pearson vanguard and dream of a ketch rig with that great little bowsprit.
still looking at the Allied Seawind?
Are you still interested in the allied? Maybe I can help with a few comments. As Calebd mentioned, I sailed one down the east coast last year single handed with not a great deal of experience it must be said. CalebD was a very welcome passenger around NY harbour.
My impressions? I will echo Jeff H ´´s comments. She´´s Not really designed for coastal. A great safe boat for crossing an ocean, albeit a little slowly. Hull speed 6.7knts. Couldn´´t squeeze any more out of her. Additional speed would have saved me time at the helm (no autopilot) allowing me to reach port more quickly, more refreshed, less chance of an accident, and in daylight. On some days after steering for 12 - 14 hrs I was pretty knackered.
She´´s A little cramped below, but if single handing not so much a problem. Very sea kindly and forgiving.
Cost? Can´´t agree more about what´s already been said. Going for one in better condition between say 20K and 30K, with fewer details, is better than spending time and money on renovation, although any boat of this age is probably going to require a little TLC.
I dont regret my purchase for one moment. I was lucky. Mine was hardly used. Just 150 hrs on the engine! Even though a survey may cost around 5% of the purchase price, well worth it. Mine Highlighted the details on the boat and work that needed doing. Very useful and re assuring.
For the future I am now looking at something a little faster/ larger/ autopilot etc such as a benetau 423.
If you´´re around Florida, you are welcome to take a look at mine in Key Largo to get more familiar with them or you can ask me about any specific points.
Ian (the "crazy" Brit).
I like the way the 32' Seawind hove to with mizzen and jib alone.
Versatile sail configurations with a ketch rigged boat.
Hi Seawind52,
If you and your Seawind are ever near the Connecticut River, I'd welcome a chance to check out your boat. I own Patience, ASW1 #105 and we live in Old Saybrook, CT. I've tackled similar projects to you (except the replacing the standing rigging and sails).
Cockerline123 - I agree with Jeff H that the strong point of this boat is its simplicity and the best improvements are those that enhance the existing systems without adding a lot of complexity. Of course, I don't always listen to my own advice - I'd like to install a water wash down pump to replace the "canvas bucket" system for cleaning the anchor and rode. And a wifi system would be nice...
I recently built a website to catalog my boat projects and you can see pictures of Patience there:
The chronicle of my efforts to keep old plastic boats afloat (Bill's Classic Plastic Boats)
I'd point out that the newer engine, the RIB and sails alone would account for the $10000 difference in price more likely than not. Was the rigging in reasonable shape or was it shot?

The great thing about our Seawind is that it is one of the most seaworthy boats in our marina. Be realistic about how much work you can do yourself and your budget for professional services. I would encourage you to buy the best boat that you can afford (in order to spend more time sailing). You're welcome to come look at my boat as a benchmark.
So yeah this is really helpful. This is what I'm looking at doing right now too although things are looking more and more tenative... I guess without asking you straight up what you bought her for (which would be great to know but I dont expect you to post that) what would you think a fair price for a seawind is in that condition... I know tough question, but just ballpark.

Ok forgive my ignorance here but I just want to get a few things clear.
1. Wma's are considered public land and if so is all I need are duck stamps and that's it?
2. What is the big difference between quota hunts and open hunts.
3. I know for hunting deer you need blaze Orange jacket. Is the same required for duck or no.
I was doing some Google earth scouting. Trying to find bodies or water that may me a good idea to scout. I am planning on trying to do duck hunting out of my kayak. Is this a good idea or bad. And I just want to say, I have been reading a lot of hate about trolling on here and I am not one of those. I have taken a genuine interest in the sport and want to get as much info as I can. Time this year doesn't seem in favor of me doing any hunting this year but I plan on getting all my "ducks in a row" lol corny I know, for next year. Thanks for the info.
really? really?

Information levels
Rasmus' recent post on the greenhouse effect raised some interesting points concerning the technical level at which posts or other public communications should be written. This was a relatively technical article as these things go, eschewing the very basic 'the greenhouse effect is like a blanket' but not really approaching the level of a technical paper on the subject (no line-by-line calculations for instance). Nonetheless, there were complaints that was too much to be absorbed by the lay public, counter-arguments that making it too simple was patronising, as well as complaints that the discussions were not technical enough (for instance in explaining stratospheric cooling). In these discussions there are clearly the outlines of a common debate, and perhaps a way forward in the future.
An anecdote is maybe relevant. I was on a panel with a long-time science writer from New York Times and we were discussing the information content in science columns versus sports columns (the latter having far more because the writers see no need to waste space to explain the rules, introduce the players, or even explicitly state what the actual sport is!). The NYT writer explained that she always pitched her stories at exactly the same level – (paraphrasing) the interested, but educated, person who did not need the details but wanted the big picture. Indeed, she went so far as to say that was the only relevant mode of public communication on science issues. I took issue with this (of course), because I think this 'mainstream media' mode of communication leaves a lot of people very unsatisfied and indeed, RealClimate is in part a response to that.
Both these examples suggest that there is a very widespread feeling that there is only one level at which public communications must be conducted (though people often disagree with what that is). But this is rather a pointless argument to be having. Particularly in the new landscape of disaggregated media, the idea that there is only one anything seems completely anachronistic. It might have been ok when the daily paper was the only information source that some people had and its audience could be assumed to be relatively homogeneous, but these things are certainly no longer true (if indeed they ever were).
Instead, I think we should be explicitly thinking about information levels and explicitly catering to different audiences with different needs and capabilities. One metaphor that might work well is that of an alpine ski hill. There we have (in the US for instance) green runs for beginners wanting a gentle introduction and where hopefully nothing too bad can happen. Blue runs where the technical level is a little more ambitious and a little more care needs to be taken. Black expert runs for those who know what they are doing and are doing it well, and finally, double black diamond runs for the true masters. No-one accuses ski resorts of being patronising when they have green runs interspersed with the more difficult ones, and neither do they get accused of elitism when one peak has only black runs going down (as I recall all too painfully on my first ski outing). People self-segregate and generally find their way to the level at which the feel comfortable – whether they want a easy or challenging ride – and there is nothing stopping them varying the levels as their mood or inclination takes them.

My thredUp order just arrived and I must say they are a very savvy company. See how the packaging makes it seem like you ordered something high end, when what you really bought was used clothing?
Not only that, but each item has a nice thredUp tag attached to it. There's something psychological about seeing a tag on an item of clothing — a high-end-looking tag at that — that makes me feel like the item is worth more.
I'm happy with the clothes I got, too. They were all in like-new condition just as described on the Web site. The prices were slightly high for used but not really higher than many brick-and-mortar kids' resale shops.
Will I order from them again? Well, I made this order because I had $55 credits that I had earned from spreading the word (you can get a $10 credit if you sign up through me, and I'll get one too). The one downside to shopping this site is that, although they have greatly improved from their earlier days, they still don't have enough merchandise that I could find exactly what I was looking for. I really wanted sun hats for the whole family and sandals for the kids, for summer. There were none of either in any of my kids' sizes. I ended up getting a couple bucket hats for my middle child which will be handy, but they are corduroy so I doubt she'll want to wear them when we go to hot hot Arizona this summer. But my credits were going to expire so I bought other things that we didn't need as urgently.
So, I will browse this site again when my kid needs something, especially if I don't have time to go to a local thrift store to look. I'd rather buy something used whenever I can, but I don't get out to stores much with my schedule, so I like the concept of shopping used from home. But I may not order again until thredUp has beefed up its inventory.
