The National Journal, preeminent RWNJ magazine and website, thinks that Al Franken may not have a strong challenger when he runs for reelection in 2014. They may have a point.
The MNGOP is in disarray. They're broke and having trouble fundraising because they've done such a poor job of managing donors money (see TwoPuttTommy's Cooked Books series). Their bench is thin.
Furthermore, Ron Paul supporters took over the party in 2012 and nominated one-term legislator and abysmal failure Kurt Bills as their candidate to challenge Sen. Amy Klobuchar. But did any Minnesota Republican really stand any chance against the popular Klobuchar? Maybe Mister Bills was just a sacrificial lamb.
So the writer for the NJ talked to former Senator
Snidely Whiplash Norm Coleman. The toothsome former Senator (God but I love typing that) gave a back-handed compliment about Franken being invisible which shouldn't be surprising as I can only imagine that Norm is still mighty bitter.
What Franken has actually done is work hard for Minnesota. The details are for another post as this post is about the paucity of challengers.
The list of potential, formidable candidates is short. Coleman, in an interview with National Journal, categorically said he wasn't going to run for the Senate in 2014, denying the GOP one of its best-known possible challengers. Rep. Erik Paulsen, a popular House member from the Twin Cities suburbs, telegraphed his own hesitance about jumping into the Senate race on a local radio show. Coleman touted Rep. John Kline, another swing-district Republican, but he has passed up previous statewide bids in favor of building up tenure in the House. And Rep. Michele Bachmann, who would be formidable in a primary, would be the Democrats' dream challenger, given her high unfavorables even back home. She barely won re-election in a solidly-Republican House district in 2012.
What's clear is that Minnesota Republicans are wary of jumping head first into the contest, despite the obvious opportunities against Franken. After the 2012 elections, Republican Senate candidates Shelley Moore Capito and former South Dakota Gov. Mike Rounds immediately announced their campaigns against Sens. Jay Rockefeller and Tim Johnson. By contrast, there's barely been a peep from potential Franken challengers.
Franken's ground game, fundraising, and out-of-the-limelight approach help explain why. Franken's campaign coffers are flush with cash. His job-approval rating, according to the most recent September Star-Tribune poll, is a healthy 52 percent. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., romped to reelection last November, winning nearly every county in the expansive state. Franken has raised nearly $4 million for 2014, with nearly $1.3 million cash on hand. That would give him a healthy head start over his opposition. (By contrast, the Republican Party of Minnesota is still struggling with $1.5 million in debt.)
Over the last election cycle, Franken's leadership PAC, Midwest Values PAC, raised $450,000 for his Senate colleagues, and Franken himself spent the election season campaigning on behalf of other Democrats, who made gains in the upper chamber. That's a sign of confidence that he's spending valuable time helping Democratic colleagues over preparing early for his own reelection. Such fundraising opens avenues for Franken to tap his colleagues for help come 2014.
Democratic strategists also point to the fact that Franken has consciously ignored the glare of the national media spotlight, preferring to speak to Minnesota media. They say he's laser-focused on talking about his record to Minnesotans and point to his sponsoring of the so-called Medical Loss Ratio rule that was passed as part of the Affordable Care Act.

Olney (Md.) Good Counsel is not only one of the most consistent schools in the state, but it is one of the better programs in the country in terms of producing elite talent. The 2014 class is well on its way to continuing the trend, and defensive end Jesse Aniebonam is a part of that group.
The 6-foot-4, 225-pounder holds a trio of offers already with Maryland, Auburn and Hawaii extending, but he is ready to narrow things down while targeting seven schools for the remainder of his recruitment.
"I just talked to my coaches at school; I wanted to put together a solid list to work on in the recruiting process," he said. "Two have offered and I'm going to try to get more of them.
"I have Alabama, Auburn, Ohio State, Georgia Tech, Virginia, Maryland and Clemson."
Why cut-down so early?
"I unofficially visited them so far and talked to some coaches," said Aniebonam. "I like the coaches and each of the schools is really nice. The football programs are really good, too."
Even with the list, five schools have yet to extend offers the big DE's way. Aniebonam is hoping to change that with his junior campaign at Goo d Counsel.
"What I think they really want is to see me on the field," he admitted. "I'll be sending them tapes and so will my coaches and some will come to my games – so I think it's mainly performance on the field.
"I would be most impressed and glad if I got one from Ohio State and also Clemson, they are high up there on my point of view."
Aniebonam has been to Clemson, Maryland and East Carolina for camps and he is planning to get to Virginia for a showing later this month. Other than that, he will work on getting set for the 2102 season.
As far a decision timetable, he is looking to narrow things down to a final pair heading into his senior season (2014) – so between now and then the Maryland prospect will trim using his dream school criteria.
Said Aniebonam, "The coaches will be one main aspect. I want to be around coaches that have a real connection to their players, I don't want a coach that babies me or shows me everything to do.
"Also, the area, the atmosphere of the school and how the program is run. The connection with the players won't be a problem so that's what I'm looking for."

So you want big & beautiful hair and you're tired of Mr. Humidity getting in the way, right? Then stop dreaming and make it happen already! SHE'S A TEASE™ will have the whole crowd gossiping about your huge head errr... I mean hair. Infused with natural apple blossom & bamboo, this salon formula will have you walking tall.
- Firm Hold
- Creates volume and lift
- Humidity Resistant Formula
- Bamboo added for strengthening and volumizing benefits
Shake can, lift hair and spray She's A Tease at the root to create big styles and hold them in place with this humidity proof formula.
Although the branding is pretty good, the product doesn't have the best aroma, and the spray nozzle on mine broke after using it only 2 times, leaving the thing spraying out of control and then completely unusable after.
This works GREAT for teasing and even a normal hairspray I absolutely love it but it has a REALLY strong hold and can get sticky
Im giving this the grade i did only because for the price it really isnt the best product there are other products like the aussie volumizing spray which is more affordable and smells amazing and does what it says, this just does not do it for me
I was super disappointed because I have bought the full sized sea salt texturizing spray and I LOVE it.
it's a great hairspray, adds volume well (seriously...spray it all over with your head upside down...it gives you some crazy lift!)

It simply may be a coincidence that the Pittsburgh Penguins have dropped both games without injured captain Sidney Crosby following their impressive 15-game winning streak.
The New York Rangers, meanwhile, hope it's more than just happenstance that they played so well with their newest additions.
Pittsburgh looks to get back on track while preventing playoff-hopeful New York from winning a third straight game as the teams complete a home-and-home set Friday night at Consol Energy Center.
Crosby suffered a broken jaw after being hit with a puck during Saturday's 2-0 victory over the New York Islanders, and his surgery will keep the NHL's scoring leader out indefinitely.
The Penguins (28-10-0) had their win streak snapped with a 4-1 home loss to Buffalo on Tuesday before being routed 6-1 at Madison Square Garden the following night.
Pascal Dupuis, who scored his 18th goal Wednesday, said Pittsburgh can't dwell on the loss of Crosby.
"It's going to have to be the guys in this locker room. Syd isn't coming back on Friday," Dupuis said. "It has nothing to do with skill level. It has to do with battle level, and wanting it more. We can't seem to find it the last couple of days."
While Pittsburgh remains atop the Eastern Conference, New York (18-15-3) is battling the Islanders and New Jersey for one of the final playoff spots.
The Rangers helped their cause Wednesday, playing with plenty of intensity just hours after dealing Marian Gaborik prior to the trade deadline. Center Derick Brassard and defenseman John Moore were acquired from Columbus in the Gaborik deal - along with injured winger Derek Dorsett - and they arrived roughly 15 minutes before pregame warmups.
Brassard proceeded to score a goal and add three assists while Moore scored his first goal of the season.
"I didn't have time to be nervous. I was stressed out with everything," Brassard said. "It's a great experience I am going to remember for the rest of my life."
Ryane Clowe, acquired from San Jose on Tuesday, also wasted little time making his presence felt in his Rangers debut. He netted his first goal of the season in the first period before scoring on the power play in the second.
"The new guys gave us a spark - more than a spark," said Brian Boyle, who had a goal and three assists. "It was just cool to welcome them."
The Rangers ended a seven-game losing streak to the Penguins and now hope to win in Pittsburgh, where they've been shut out twice while dropping the last three matchups.
"It just seems we've been on our heels playing Pittsburgh, and we need to be more on our toes," coach John Tortorella said. "We just need to temper it. We're still fighting for our lives."
Penguins coach Dan Bylsma saw the desperation in the Rangers and believes his team needs to come out with similar intensity Friday to end its skid.
"I thought the compete level from the Rangers and their game was very high, and we certainly didn't match it," Bylsma said. "We got beat by a team that competed harder and was more desperate."
Marc-Andre Fleury faced 39 shots Wednesday in an uncharacteristic performance after posting a 0.64 goals-against average while winning his previous five starts, including a 23-save, 3-0 win over New York on March 16.
It's unclear if Fleury will be in net again Friday, though the Rangers likely will go with Henrik Lundqvist, who made 26 saves Wednesday.
Lundqvist is 5-2-1 with a 1.72 GAA over his last eight starts.

I have been trying to figure out if it's being superseded by a new version or if Sparkfun just didn't see the demand for them. So far it just seems like Sparkfun just didn't see the demand for them which is definitely a bummer. I had just used the 40x2 for the first time to address and read data from gameboy carts. It made it so insanely easy with it being in basic and all the simple ways to manipulate bytes and bits. It's just a great universal chip that's easy to use.
Whaaat? Why are these retired now?? That's dissapointing, I had planned on buying some extras for various projects but didn't have the cash at the time. Oh well, 40x1 it is. For the time being anyway.
The instructions were too complicated, he got stuck on the parts list.
put DOS on it.
i know people are sometimes interested when others share what they got so I will go ahead and do so: 3 SD sniffer boards 45 Nintendo DS Touch Screen Connector Breakout boards im not really sure what can be done with these but im thinking one of the SD Sniffer boards will make a neat flashlight keychain or something.
Can somebody please please please, explain how to get started with this chip. like what do I need to program it, what software do I use to program it, and maybe a link to a tutorial on how to write code for it. I would appreciate this very much and i'm sure a few others would as well because these unanswered questions are the only reason why I haven't bought any of these.
How well will this work on my weed whacker?
I was a bit naive when I bought this and didn't realize it wasn't hot enough for unleaded solder work and now I can't do anything with it because I really don't like the use of lead but otherwise its a great iron so if you use leaded solder and need a cheap iron then get this one. Also I think it might be a good idea to put a note that it does not do unleaded. So I think I'm going to check out the cheap soldering station.
No public wish lists :(

My Favorite Veggie Burger
By Dana Jacobi
for the American Institute for Cancer Research
I finally have found a great homemade veggie burger. For me, this means a burger with satisfying texture as well as pleasing flavor. Most of the ones I have prepared, whether their base is beans, grains, or soy, taste good. Texture is the problem: They turn out either as soft as comfort food, with nothing to chew on, dry as a hockey puck, or so chunky that they fall apart in the pan.
This beet, lentil and rice veggie burger does it for me because it comes out crisp and crusty outside, with a slightly smoky flavor that tastes grilled even though they are pan-cooked. The inside stays moist and flavors unroll as you enjoy its nubbly texture.
I discovered the recipe for this burger in The New Persian Kitchen, by Louisa Shafia, a cookbook full of deliciously bold, vegetable-rich dishes. Her recipe is innovative both in preparation and in how you cook this burger.
First, Shafia uses plump, short-grain brown rice. You know the white kind because it is used for sushi. More starchy than long-grain rices like basmati and jasmine, here the stickiness from its starch helps hold these burgers together. Shafia whirls the cooked rice with egg white to make a pulpy purée that brings out the starch even more. The rice combined with the protein in the egg white, plus walnuts in the mixture, give the burgers their chewy "bite."
In cooking, Shafia uses heat in two ways. She cooks these burgers both covered to get them firm and keep them moist. She also cooks them uncovered, which gives them a good crisp crust.
In my experience, making veggie burgers from scratch is time consuming and messy, but here I truly think it is worthwhile. My version tweaks Shafia's recipe by omitting raisins and reducing the amount of oil used. Served on a plate, perhaps topped with, or accompanied by, chopped tomato, cucumber, a dollop of Greek yogurt and a sprinkling of fresh dill, these veggie burgers are extraordinary.
Beet and Walnut Veggie Burger
- 4 tsp. extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup shredded raw red beets
- 1/3 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
- 2 garlic cloves, smashed
- 1 tsp. sweet paprika
- 1/4 cup cooked lentils
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1½ cup cooked short-grain brown rice
- 1 large egg white
In skillet, heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until lightly browned, 8 minutes. Add beets, walnuts and garlic and cook, stirring constantly to avoid sticking, for 6 minutes. Mix in paprika. Transfer contents of skillet to food processor and pulse 25-30 times, until finely chopped but still nubbly. Scoop cooked beet mixture into mixing bowl and add lentils. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Without wiping out food processor, add rice and egg white. Whirl until a pulpy purée 45-60 seconds. Add rice mixture to beet mixture. Using wooden spoon, mix to combine well. With moist hands, form mixture into four 1-inch-thick patties.
In clean skillet, heat remaining 2 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat. Add burgers and cook until crusty on bottom, 3-4 minutes, reducing heat to medium, if necessary. Using wide spatula, carefully turn burgers and cook, covered, for 4 minutes. Uncover, and cook until burgers are very crusty on bottom, 3 minutes. Turn burgers and cook until top is re-crisped, 2 minutes. Serve immediately on plate, accompanied, if desired, by reduced-fat Greek yogurt, fresh dill, chopped tomato and cucumber.
Makes 4 burgers.

How many wires in 1/2" conduit?
I want to make sure I'm not creating any code violation; I'm currently feeding (at the maximum point) 8 wires through my conduit. They quickly reduce after the initial point, but I want to make sure I'm not breaking any code. I live in Buffalo Grove, a suburb of Chicago.
14 guage wires. 1/2" EMT/thinwall. Four pairs of hot/neutral.
The code is written according to what's safe, but not necessarily what's practical. That being said, according to Table C1 in annex C of the NEC, you can put 12 single conductor 14 awg. THHN wires in a 1/2 emt. There is a physical limitation though. If I designed according to this, the electricians would skin my hide!
Don't forget the de-rating factor. Assuming 14 awg. THHN, 8 conductors in a single pipe would require a 70% derating so you should be fine with 15A circuit breakers.
Since you have another post about the number of bends, I'd keep them to a minimum if you're pulling 8 conductors. Remember that you can install 1900 boxes along the way. You'll be happy you did.
go buy two books . .one is a Home Depot Residential witring book and a little yellow book called . . .UGLY'S . . .yup I dont make this stuff up
. .it is our quick reference for conductor fill etc . . .you'll find both quite useful . . .
Conduit fittings can become loose over time form many reasons.
I personally NEVER relay solely on a metallic conduit for a ECG.
Amen Petey,
I pull an equipment grounding conductor in every pipe I run even if it is rigid pipe.
Twister and Pete:
Sorry, I was thinking totally in the realm of residential. I typically do not see a dedicated wire being run as an EGC in this application (here anyways) however I do agree that there's merit to doing so.
On the other hand, I do run a ground wire through greenfield.
Take care
To everyone else, as Jimmy said, in residential construction, EMT is the ground. Connectors can come loose over time, but it isn't likely if you tighten everything properly. Commercial is a different story.
While my mind is on this, Petey have you noticed more specs calling for steel fittings? The last couple of years seems like everyone wants steel instead of zinc.
I almost forgot the other thing: Chicago allows NO MORE THAN 9 wires in a pipe. Current carrying or not. (Unless it's a control circuit)
I have seen loose fittings, especially a whole bunch of compression fittings a few years ago. It seems that they never tightened up due to the pipe not being in perfectly straight. Lots of 'em.
I also work in the land of the mobile home capitol and they are terrible as far as damaging things. Broken pipe all over the place that since it is seperated, it no longer provides an adequate ground. The EGC inside takes care of that.
goose, have you checked prices lately. die-cast were about 3 times the cost of the steel fitting a while back. Had a run of very poor quality steel fittings about 7 years ago. Kind of turned me off of them. The ones around here now are pretty good and I actually prefer them.
and to the EGC is Greenfield. Haven;t looked lately 'cuz I always drag one along anyway but I thought that sections under 6 feet didn;t need an EGC (except in Michigan where one is always required in Greenfield)

Great looking Galil, QK!. That's the best looking optics system I think I've ever seen for AK's and variants!
I'm not much for firearm photography, but here's mine. It's a Yugo underfolder, Ultimak mount and Aimpoint CompMl3. I've got a small piece of picatinny rail on the right lower handguard to mount a TLR3 light, and before anyone asks, I have the recoil pad on not because of recoil benefits, but because it adds a good inch of pull length which I find comfortable and it prevents the upturned ends from grabbing clothing (etc) when the rifle is mounted or otherwise handled (and the stock still folds completely with it).
It's compact and reliable.
my wasr,
this man is right up there with John M. Browning in my book
I just picked up an Arsenal... I shall post some pics soon!
I'll kick in a pic of my AK. I have not done any tricking out on mine at all but I am ready to do some now. I want to replace the wood stock and fore end with some synthetic ones. I'd like to put an adjustable stock on her, much like what I have on my AR.
Your basic WASR-10/63. Unsightly but functional. Your basic "zombie" gun, may it never be needed.Quote:
My Romanian WASR 10/63 GP. I removed the wood and added a Tapco Galil handguard, a Tapco sidefolding stock, and an ATI pistolgrip.
Mine came with Tapco furniture. The handgrip has been replaced with the ATI handgrip. I'm looking to replace the "Galil style handguard" with something more traditional, and find a decent sidefolding buttstock.
Well took the plunge the other day finally. Figured I'd give one of the CIA Ak74 builds priced at $350 a shot. Yeah I know not a CIA.
Was going to get a lancaster but after allot of research on 2 other sites I have to pass on them until they get there bugs worked out.
TGI is a good one but they are no longer importing rifles and are sold out of the Ak74 truck guns.
So maybe by the end of the week I'll be able to post pictures.
WASR-10 7.62x39, SAR-3 5.56, Norinco Mak-90 7.62x39

Fulks and Albini, guitarist of Shellac/Big Black and producer extraordinaire (PIXIES, Iggy And The Stooges, Robert Plant, and you know, a little band called Nirvana), go back a long way. Albini recorded and produced Fulks's classic albums 'Country Love Songs,' '13 Hillbilly Giants,' 'Couples in Trouble,' and his most recent release 'Gone Away Backward.' They are a technically terrifying twosome, we'd say.

I assume we're talking about a device that disables instead of kills? If so... I'll be the odd man out. If I could buy something that performed in all areas (cost, concealment, accuracy, range, effectiveness) as well as my guns, I would gladly trade them in.
I could defend myself without having to take someone's life (for me, this is huge).
I could defend myself knowing that a mistake in my judgement isn't costing someone their life.
I could defend myself knowing there's a 0% chance I'd get charged with manslaughter/murder and be taken from the family I'm trying to protect.
I could leave it on the nightstand at night knowing there's a 0% chance for a fatal ND. (I've got a 7-year-old, the gun stays on me or locked up)
I could holster it knowing there's a 0% chance for a fatal ND.
I don't hunt and I figure my kid and I would learn to have just as much fun shooting the "phasers" as we do the guns.
For me, the positives easily outweigh the negatives.

Tacoma has been named one of the Top Best 100 Places to Live by Livability.com, a website that ranks quality of life and travel amenities across America's small and mid-sized cities.
Tacoma ranked 41st on the list, with a total score of 605 points, and high scores in amenities (88), demographic diversity (73) and education (64). Palo Alto, Calif. topped the list, with a total score of 646 points, and high scores in education (85), amenities (82), and social and civic capital (74).
"We've been working very hard to make Tacoma a desirable place to live, work, learn and play," said Tacoma Mayor Marilyn Strickland. "We continue to build on our assets and shine a spotlight on the great things happening here right now."
Five other Washington cities also made the list: Bellevue (ranked 12th), Bellingham (ranked 25th), Redmond (ranked 62nd), Everett (ranked 73rd) and Vancouver (ranked 96th).
According to Livability.com, the list is the result of a study of U.S. cities and the factors that make them better places to live, work and play. Those factors were narrowed down to eight categories – economics, housing, amenities, infrastructure, demographics, social and civic capital, education and health care – that were used to score and rank cities.
"Great cities are more than just a check-list of bars, coffee shops and museums. Our goal was to collect the best data available, from the best sources and the best partners to gauge the true measures of livability. Access was important, but so were utilization and affordability," said Livability.com Editor Matt Carmichael. "By using data from the public sector, the private sector and nonprofits focused on these issues, we have compiled an Index that celebrates America's great cities and towns."
Livability said it partnered with the Martin Prosperity Institute, a think tank concentrating on the role of location, place, and city-regions in global economic prosperity, and Ipsos Public Affairs, research firm to compile the list.
"This is the first time we have focused on measures for specific cities instead of metropolitan regions," said Kevin Stolarick, PhD, Research Director at the Martin Prosperity Institute. "While getting consistent, reliable data at the city level had its challenges, the results were worth the effort."

DIY -- Coupe B-Pillar Panel removal
After much searching I could not find a how to remove B-pillar for dummies (me) so I decided to write one up with lots of pictures. Any suggestions are welcome to make this more understandable if I don't explain it quite the right way. I have numbered the pictures 1-18 for easy identification. Picture 1 has the tools that I used.
T-20 Torx
T-50 Torx
Flathead screw driver
wire cutters
Step 1: Start out by placing your hand in underneath the seat bottom and lift up. The is 2 clips holding the seat bottom in place, one on each side of the seat. Refer to pictures 2-5 if you have any problems.
Step 2: Take your T-20 Torx and use it to remove the 2 screws in the arm rest. This has to be done so you can pull out the panel out just enough to undo the 2 clips holding the B-pillar cover in place. Refer to picture 6 if you have any problems.
Step 3: Open your rear window and pull the window molding/rubber up. This is done so it'll be easier to push the panel into place when putting everything back together. Refer to pictures 7 and 8 if you have any questions.
Step 4: Pull out the door molding just a little bit so you can get your fingers/hand in behind the panel and pull it out. Refer to pictures 9-11 if you have any questions.
Step 5: You should now see the 2 clips that hold the B-pillar into place. Take a screw driver or wire cutters to pry up on the clips. Once those are out the B-pillar should just slide straight down. Refer to pictures 12-15 if you have any questions.
Step 6: Again take your flat head screw driver and place it in between the carpet and the little black plastic piece as illustrated on picture 17 and pry outward. It should just pop right out. Take your T-50 Torx and undo the bolt. Lift up on metal bar once bolt is out and slide the seat belt out. Refer to pictures 16-18 if you have any questions.
At this point repeat Steps 1-6 for the other side. Any questions or suggestions?

Payment sent Bobo.
Hey Bobo,
Just an FYI that I recieved the LED kit today (fri) in all its glory & WOW I cant believe how tiny it is, its soooooooo cute tee hee .
thanks once again
Hey Bobo,
I havent checked this posting for awhile, the RF kit has come a long way..very nice work!!
P.S. Somewhere on the electronics board it should say MADE IN CANADA DUDE! 8)
Hahahah, yeah man good idea!
Although I *am* trying to keep it as small as possible right?
Thanks for the compliments buddy!
Hey, Bobo You done good!! All three of my sets made it here in one piece (Nice packaging job, even against the most reckless carriers of the postal system!) These boards are now shedding incredible light on all of my RF projects! EXCELLENT WORKMANSHIP! Thanks!
YAY! I'm happy dude!
Lemme know if everything works fine for you, I'd love to see some pics of the lights in action !
Oh, sorry Bobo for the lack of updates, I got mine last week. Sorry for the delay, and BTW...IT'S AWESOME! Thanks a lot. I'll be ordering another one in the future for my other helmet (a DP '95, white inside, which I'll be selling once I finish painting and customizing it in the near future)
Mine came in today. Thanks Bobo!
argh!!! Okay, I know I'm being impatient with the post office system, but I have yet to receive my light kit after almost 2 weeks!!
It's so exciting to be able to modify the helmet with these awesome lights, that I'm like a kid standing by the mail box waiting for a present to arrive, only to be disappointed when nary a package is waiting in the mail. This bipolar emotional cycle repeats itself every day. Oh well . . . . by 5pm each day I'll be out of this funk in hopes of arriving home to a tiny package full of de-"lights"!!!!!
Where can I find replacement batteries for them? Is this a watch battery (go to a jewelry shop) or something I'd find at Radio Shack?
My whining is over . . . . . I got my lights yesterday!!!!! Thanks, Bobo!
Bobafettish: Yeah they're just CR2040 batteries (3Volt). You can buy them at Radio Shack or any other electronics store!
The model is in here:
Whazzzup dude! Hey, I'm FINALLY getting around
to testing out my lights, but I can't seem to
download the manual. Any chance you can email it
to me again? I'll PM you my new email address.
Yes, can you say PROCRASTINATE?
Maybe in Canada, but not in the U.S. (atleast not in Indiana). I went to three different Radio Shacks and they told me that they do not even show it in their inventory. I also tried a few other places that sell batteries and the closest they have is CR2032's which are thinner. Has anyone else found a U.S. source for them as my battery is dead?

Speaking of the battery...which side goes
up and which side goes face down? I still
cannot open the link to the manual.
Hrmm, I've found some online retailers:
I don't know if that helps, but lemme know if anyone finds these in the states! If someone really can't find them, I'll go out and buy you a whole pack and ship them to you!
Malcfett, the black ring should point up !
Is a DP 95 rangefinder the right size for a Mystery Helmet with a RA stalk???
I would love one of these kits. PM on the way
Thanks for the links, Bobo, as I went to the mother-of-all battery stores today, Batteries Plus, and they don't stock them either.
Link #1: $3.95 + $2.99/S&H = $6.94/battery
Link #2: $7.00 + $5.00/S&H = $12.00/battery!
Link #3: Doesn't even show them in their inventory
If you can get me a pack of them for a rate less than that of those in the links, I would appreciate it as I love the lights, but my one and only battery died prior to my first con of the summer.
Hey buddy, sure I'll grab you a couple batteries if you like. I think they're $2.50CDN + tax. I doubt the shipping will cost that much either. So how many would you like?
Ten, please. I'd prefer to have an overstock of them than none. PM me with the total and I'll PayPal you.
I haven't kept up on this thread, but I have to make a comment regarding the green light under the RF.
I really don't think Webchief's photo is showing a green LED or light source under the RF. Remeber the RF bottom is some what opaque. I think what you are seeing the there is just the reflection off the helmet.
Though, the green LED on the RF bottom certainly make for a cool custom addition to the RF.

While we've been keeping you updated on the renovations at Foley Field, including a brand new scoreboard and additions to "Kudzu Hill", there is now more progress on the horizon thanks to a generous donation from the Foley Family. The following previously ran on Georgiadogs.com.
ATHENS-----The Foley family of Columbus is synonymous with Georgia baseball, and they have provided the foundation for the Bulldogs latest stadium renovation, the UGA Athletic Association announced Thursday.
"The University of Georgia and the baseball program hold a special place in the hearts of our family," said Frank D. Foley, III, spokesman for the family. "We are pleased to honor the legacy of our grandfather and all passed generations of our family by providing this gift to lead the on-going fundraising for Foley Field. We recognize the importance of maintaining and updating the field and know it will be a tremendous benefit for the Bulldogs."
"We are very fortunate to have the continued loyal support of the Foley family and excited that they are taking the lead in this project," said Georgia athletic director Greg McGarity. "They have made a lasting impact on the baseball program in support of the student-athletes and the fans. The ballpark is in a beautiful setting, and we are taking steps to enhance it."
"Student-athletes come to Georgia because they know they are going to get a first-class education and compete in the SEC which is the premier baseball conference featuring top-notch facilities, fan support and instruction," said Georgia coach David Perno. "The Foley family has always been at the forefront of any major renovation effort at Foley Field. Their leadership will help us continue to recruit elite student-athletes that look forward to playing for Georgia along with providing an enjoyable game day experience for all fans visiting Foley Field."
The large-scale measures planned for the future include improvements to the dugouts, Georgia's locker room and team lounge, training room and batting cages. Also, an upgraded sound system, redesigning the stadium's main entrance and additional restrooms and concession areas along with an expanded press box are planned.
The UGA Athletic Association board of directors already approved and work is under way on a few items that are part of the master plan. Current construction scheduled to be completed for the 2013 season will make improvements to the right field area known as "Kudzu Hill," a new high-definition video scoreboard and new trees behind the outfield fence.
Since the late 1960s, Bulldog baseball home games have been played at Foley Field. Judge Frank Foley is considered one of Georgia's all-time greats for his contributions both on and of the field. He was a part of the 1908 Southern championship team. A distinguished alumnus, he is remembered by many as a kind and caring gentlemen.
Georgia has experienced tremendous postseason success at Foley Field, winning four NCAA Regionals and three Super Regionals. In the Perno era, the Bulldogs have advanced to the College World Series in 2004, 2006 and 2008. Overall, Georgia is 21-7 in the NCAA postseason at Foley Field including a remarkable 16-0 in elimination games.

You must be a scholar to know what you said-- you must have spent your lifetime studying Gods word, historical writings, learned hebrew and greek to know for sure your words are truth, am i right? Because the JW leaders have done all of the above for over 140 years straight, how about you? The trinity translations prove the trinity religions are absolutly wrong. How could a scholar miss that?

Not one of the men who translated the NWT knew any of the hebrew, greek or history of the bible language. Not one of them graduated with these skills. Only one of the even had a little bit of biblical language but even that was not done to the level that he could translate words back. If you cant read it, how can you tranlate it properly. How would they ever know if the trinity was in there or not if they cant read it? How could they be called scholars when they cant translate scripture into Hebrew.
Four out of the five men on the committee had no Hebrew or Greek training at all, and only a high school education. Franz studied Greek for two years at the University of Cincinnati, but dropped out after his sophomore year. When asked in a Scotland courtroom if he could translate Genesis 2:4 into Hebrew, Franz replied that he could not. The truth is that Franz was unable to translate Hebrew or Greek.
The NWT translators were: Nathan Knorr, Albert Schroeder, George Gangas, Fred Franz, M. Henschel
"Fred Franz however, was the only one with sufficient knowledge of the Bible languages to attempt translation of this kind. He had studied Greek for two years in the University of Cincinnati but was only self-taught in Hebrew." ["Crisis of Conscience"; by Raymond Franz; Commentary Press, Atlanta; 1983 edition; footnote 15; page 50.]
Four out of the five men on the committee had no Hebrew or Greek training at all. They had only a high school education. Franz studied Greek for two years at the University of Cincinnati, but dropped out after his sophomore year. When asked in a Scotland courtroom if he could translate Genesis 2:4 into Hebrew, Franz replied that he could not. The truth is that Franz was unable to translate Hebrew or Greek.
What we are left with is a very inexperienced translating committee that twisted Scripture to make it fit the Society's doctrine.
You really need to read up on this to find out the truth. Its all there in black and white.

They have also fullfilled the prophecey "that in the last days false prophets will arise prophecying the return of Christ and dates for "The day of the LORD".. the Watchtower has a 100%per cent record of false prophecy the 140 years it has existed..

Same reasoning of the pharisees against the apostles and Jesus--They didnt attend the school of men to know truth and be teachers--- the true ones of God are lead by HS when God wills things to be known.

The JW leaders didnt make up any prophecys-- they put a date on a 100% true prophecy allready in existence in Gods written word.God made the prophecy--they erred by dating it. Mr Russell was the only human alive that saw that peace would be taken from the earth in 1914,because Jesus was going to cast satan to the earth and recieve his crown. How did he know that?

The JW,s are the only ones teaching the same things Jesus taught-- Have you ever bothered to listen to Jesus? I know parts of Gods word can be difficult to understand, because the trinity translations were altered centuries ago. But the fact remains, God would not let real truth be hidden totally, and any knowledgable JW can use a trinity translation to prove many of the trinity religions teachings as false. You can stand in opposition to Jehovah if that is your desire, but if you want eternal life, Jesus said you must know Jehovah to gain it--John 17:1-6

How long have you been delusional?
Why don't you open your Bible and show me where Jesus taught about Paradise Earth?
Have you ever bothered to listen to Jesus? Apparently NOT!
"Paradise earth" is a key phrase in Watchtower literature, appearing over 1,000 times on the Watchtower CD Library. However, the term never appears in the Bible. Neither is resurrection onto earth specifically discussed.
Here is what Satan's cult the jehovah's witnesses state...and it's from the evil cult's writings.
"[Jesus] spoke of the resurrection to life on earth, such as Abraham, Isaac and Jacob will receive." Watchtower 1976 Jun 1 p.349
"... the number 144,000 is to be taken literally. It refers to those who will rule in heaven with Christ over a paradise earth, which will be filled with a large and undetermined number of happy people who worship Jehovah God." Watchtower 2004 Sep 1 p.31
This is in direct conflict with the Bible, which states Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are in heaven.
Matthew 8:11 "But I tell YOU that many from eastern parts and western parts will come and recline at the table with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of the heavens."
Matthew 5:11-12 "Happy are YOU when people reproach YOU and persecute YOU and lyingly say every sort of wicked thing against YOU for my sake. Rejoice and leap for joy, since YOUR reward is great in the heavens; for in that way they persecuted the prophets prior to YOU.
I could post about 130 pages more of FALSE TEACHINGS from Satan's organization, the jehovah's witnesses, but here you are...respond to this one.

Apparently you are clueless as to what Russell prophesied.
The fact is, he blew it 100% of the time, without exception.
You have been indoctrinated. Have you ever checked to see if the garbage you've been taught is true.
You must be really ignorant and really gullible!

Jesus taught-- Blessed are the meek for they will inherit the earth--- the Psalmist David wrote--The righteous will possess the earth and reside forever upon it.--- this discounts the teachings of heaven or hell as an end as false.
The kingdom of the heavens is Gods ruling govt persay--it will be over all of creation. You just assume it means heaven only. Why would there be a new earth( system of things)--- no one who died before Jesus died went to heaven.

Start working out the real way Fattys
Life sucks. I'm going to go do the dishes.
Well, at least it isn't another camera.
This is actually a great deal
I use wiimotes (the cheap replacement ones) for robot sensors... I wonder what these have inside.... Nah
Where is the Bag of Cuuuuuuuuuute!????
Anybody know how much weight this thing can support?
I miss the Sold Out image... It gave me a sense of urgency to F5 faster.
And here I thought I'd not get anything done around the house. I've got plenty of time... ugh.
When I said I wanted video game items this is not in any way what I meant. I am a Nintendo fan and I have no use for this thing.

Whew...its a good thing you didn't slit your wrists.
In for 1. Want to ski on my second Wii without schlepping the Wii-authorized version around.
Great deal, Woot!
That would be better than wristing your slits!!
No bag for us..(pulls lever)
$60 on newegg.com.
$55 at amazon... not very good reviews.
Reviews on amazon are 50/50
C'mon Woot where are the Dyson vacuums? I've only seen one this whole Woot Off.
benmason wrote:How do you slit your rists? Also,what is a rists?
damn you!
So is this a Wii Board... Well I guess you got to dump all the product at some point. Good Deal.
I certainly hope that this board sees some quick action.
I give up.. I'm gonna go catch the last bit of the day. MAYBE while I'm gone, Barrels of Crud will be here.. /glares.

Water was too hot, or something.
Queues? I think woot missed their target market. That game would do MUCH better in the UK. They love queues over there.

Not everyone can afford home gym, or a gym membership... and Wii Fit has some merit to it.
Also may I mention you're the one sitting on your ass for 3 days waiting for a Barrels of Crud lol.
The Staff Moderators either want to let the cat out of the bag or can't. But they are probably laughing at our misery right now. Day 1 was alright, Day 2 we had tons of fun, I think we're about burnt now.
Really don't know what it does but I bought 1
If nothing else, this is a great deal, right?
The legit Nintendo balance board with the Wii Fit game is $89 on amazon.
This knock-off (albeit a name know for game accessories) is new, w/o the game for $17 shipped.
I might HAVE to buy this.
b2pi wrote:I use wiimotes (the cheap replacement ones) for robot sensors... I wonder what these have inside.... Nah
Pressure sensors, primarily. No accelerometers.
This is the Wii board I was telling everyone about. It's pure evil.
One day I was happily exercising to my wii on this board when I lost game track and my right foot slipped off the side on the board.
$10,000+ surgery later I can walk again with mild swelling still off and on after the surgeon had to build two torn ankle side tendons into one stronger tendon.
Seriously, I just want some danged Todd's Dirt. Since I decided I want to try it there's the odd flavors, I just want plain old Todd's Dirt or as such with home.woot just now. There were Three. THREE. -.-
I work out......
Serious question - has the Barrels of Crud been discontinued?

UPDATE 2-McBride says supermarkets upping own-brand push
* H1 adjusted opg profit 10.3 mln stg vs f'cst 10 mln stg
* Trading since Dec in line with expectations
* Expects progress in year
* Shares up 2.5 pct
By James Davey
LONDON, Feb 9 (Reuters) - Britain's supermarkets are backing own-brand products more than ever before as they seek value for shoppers and differentiation from rivals, according to McBride, Europe's biggest provider of private label household and personal care goods.
Chris Bull, chief executive of the British group, which supplies retailers such as Tesco with goods ranging from dishwasher tablets to deodorant, said supermarkets were responding to changing shopping habits in the economic downturn.
"As people move into private label what we typically see is that once they've tried it they don't move back out of it (in to branded goods) because they see how much value it's delivering," Bull told Reuters on Thursday.
"That's very encouraging for the future." Continued...

'Dirt Candy': A Great Graphic Memoir Disguised As A Cookbook [Review]
Parse through the surprisingly lengthy title of Clarkson/Potter Publishers' Dirt Candy: A Cookbook: Flavor-Forward Food from the Upstart New York City Vegetarian Restaurant and you'll likely come away with a few clues as to what you'll get from it. Vegetarian recipes. A certain metropolitan flair. Some kind of soiled sweet, perhaps. What the doesn't tell you is that the recipes are only about half the book. Possibly even less. For aspiring home chefs, that may be something of a disappointment. For readers like me (the comics fan who eats a lot of chicken nuggets), it's a delight. The remaining pages are where Dirt Candy restaurant founder Amanda Cohen, co-writer Grady Hendrix and illustrator Ryan Dunlavey tell some fascinating stories in graphic memoir form about the restaurant business.
Frankly, I don't know why the synopsis on the back of the book doesn't say more about the seriously great storytelling contained in this cookbook's pages. Let me just list off a few of the yarns in here:
There's the story about how Cohen wound up spending $400,000 to open her 650-square-foot restaurant because of greedy contractors. There's the story about Cohen and her staff's harrowing experience on Iron Chef (guest starring X2's own Kelly Hu). There's the flashback sequence, I guess you would call it, in which Cohen learns some serious knowledge about how to run a kitchen from a Jamaican fry cook she worked with at a diner. There's the story of Octavio, the immigrant dishwasher who desperately fought for his wife to make it to the United States so he could give her the clothes he bought her.
It's all eminently compelling, and it helps that the stories are told in a sprightly, engaging way. Sometimes Cohen will speak directly to the reader. Other times she'll get into arguments with a younger version of herself (who hates vegetables). Still other times, such as when she describes the competing detail-crazy and just-do-it-until-it's-good-enough sides of chefs–the monkey and the panda–her stories will be presented as conversations with customers.
Dunlavey, a veteran of infocomics such as Comic Book Comics and Action Philosophers!, does a whole lot to make that tone work. It wouldn't be wrong to describe his style here as a bit cartoony, but more than anything, it's expressive. It's almost Charles Schulzian. Look at that page from the Iron Chef story. Every person on that page wears a very distinct expression and tell me Cohen (the one with the ponytail) doesn't remind you a bit of a Peanuts character.
Dunlavey's art is also just plain dynamic. His drawings of people eating and preparing food, or of just food itself on a plate, has an energy to it you just wouldn't expect from a cookbook.
I've never worked in a kitchen (the closest I've come is working in pharmacy where people also tended to get pretty mad about long waits, or maybe just reading Kevin Church and Paul Salvi's The Line), but I feel like I have a pretty good sense of what it's like from reading the last third or so of this book. Cohen, Hendrix and Dunlavey nail just how important getting your timing exactly right is in a kitchen. That's a hell of a thing to pull off in print.
Beyond the memoir-style stories, Dirt Candy also offers up a pretty compelling argument for vegetarian cooking, chiefly by dispelling the myth that food that doesn't include meat has to be healthy. A sizable section near the middle of the book lists off cuisines in regions of the world where meat just isn't part of the culture. Vegetarian cooking there is incredibly diverse and really delicious, because it isn't just health food. It's food. For her vegetarian cooking, Cohen uses fat, butter, spice, salt, sugar. Those things people usually think vegetarian food shouldn't use.
I guess I'm going to have to try some of the recipes in Dirt Candy. The smoked cauliflower and waffles recipe actually sounds pretty tasty.
Lucky for me, there are illustrations.

"The Best Me Is When I'm Who I Am"
At 12 years old, Kennedy Noel already understands the concept of loving yourself just the way you are. In her new single "The Best Me" she describes it perfectly, "The best me is not trying to be you, the best me is when I'm who I am."
I know I feel most comfortable in my skin when I'm not trying to live up to the pressures others put on me. I'm at my happiest when I am fully being ME, whether I'm singing loudly to my favorite song, writing in my journal on the beach or laughing with my family. Know what makes you feel comfortable in your skin and make sure you stay true to who you are!
I want you to listen (or sing loudly) to Kennedy's lyrics and think about all the wonderful things that make you the BEST YOU!
Listen to Kennedy's song HERE!

A New Approaching Justice
"Show me how big your brave is"
I admit, I'm old, and my music tastes generally align with my age. Most of what I listen to was recorded from the mid 1960's to the mid to early 1990's. SO I had never heard of Sara Bareilles or her song "Brave" until a few weeks ago. My daughter had just come home from a meeting at our Church where she was helping to plan the annual summer young women's camp out. I asked her how it went and she said that the theme for this year's camp was going to be a song called "Brave." I was curious so … [Read more...]

Marriage Isn't for Everyone
After the Supreme Court decided U.S. v. Windsor and Perry v. Hollingsworth earlier this year, I remained optimistic about the fact that I would live in a state where gay marriage was illegal. I even remember telling one of my gay law school buddies that Idaho would be the last state to recognize gay marriage. Little did I know, plans were being laid to overturn the gay marriage ban in Idaho.Two weeks ago, four lesbian couples filed a lawsuit in Federal District court in Boise. The … [Read more...]
Conservative Mormon Senators Help Advance ENDA
During my first campaign speech in 2012, I was asked, "Do you support ENDA?"I had no idea what that even was at the time. I would soon discover the the Employment Non-Discrimination Act would "ban employers from firing, refusing to hire or discriminating against workers or job applicants based on their sexual orientation or gender identity. "I have always supported such laws and I support ENDA. Even as a Democratic candidate, I was always suspect to some on gay rights issues because I am … [Read more...]
The Most Authentic Politician in America: Terry McAuliffe
The next governor of Virginia will be a somebody who is most famous for being a political fundraiser. While this may be depressing for those who long for a more inspiring politics, it also makes Terry McAuliffe the most authentic politician in American politics today.What? Terry McAuliffe? Authentic? Yes, that is what I said. Every politician in America is first and foremost a fundraiser. We want our politicians to be able to raise large amounts of money. We want them to wow us with their … [Read more...]
Surviving the Shutdown as a New Young Public Servant
Monday, September 30th, we were told incase of a government shutdown contingency plans are in place to suspend our training program, that we had been in for eleven weeks, with only one more to go until graduation of our phase 1 part of training for a new job I had secured serving the government. After weeks of hard work, our momentum was propelling us to the end, and it couldn't come soon enough. That day I remember everyone wondering what was going to happen.
