Hey everyone. Here's my bunny for sale or trade. I drove it for a couple of years and then parked t when I had my kids. I don't think I'll ever drive it again so I'm looking to move on. The bad: some rust, some rot. missing rear wiper. rear hatch lock doesn't match door locks, probably doesn't work anyway. no rear seat belts. needs glow plug overhaul. The good: it runs! I just went over it and it seems like everything is in working condition. the e-brake is a little funky but it has been since I bought it. Brakes have plenty of meat on them. Shifts good. tires are decent.
Extras: I have another engine for it, I believe it's a 1.5 though. Also have two trannies for it, and one is a 5-speed I was told. I have two extra sets of wheels that are supposed to fit it, one set is aluminum and pretty nice, I just glass beaded them to clean them up. Those would need longer lug bolts to go on but the bolt pattern matches. Also have a complete head for a diesel, and some main caps and rods. Idk what else.. If I dig it up and find it it's yours!
I'm looking to get $1200 for everything. I really don't have the time to be parting it all out. Bring cash and you can take it all. For trade I'm looking for an air cooled beetle with the rear end intact. I would like to build a dune buggy or trike or something out of it. Thanks for looking!
I'm in burlington, nj.

Duluth, Ga. NCR ranks as the world's largest self-checkout supplier with revenues estimated at nearly three times that of its closest competitor, according to the September 2010 VDC Research Group report, "Retail & Transaction Automation Equipment: 2010 Business Planning Service, Track 1, Volume 5, Self Check-out Solutions."
NCR had held a leading market share in all regions since VDC Research Group added self-checkout to its Retail Automation Practice in 2002.
"NCR Corp. is among a short list of forward-thinking retail automation vendors that have demonstrated the ability to envision and address the oft-competing requirements of retailers and their customers, for security and flexibility in their retail solutions," said VDC Research Group's executive VP Christopher Rezendes.
The findings were corrraborated in a separate report, "Global EPOS and Self-Checkout 2010," by RBR Research. NCR has held the global market leader position as the world's largest self-checkout supplier in terms of installed base since RBR Research began following self-checkout in 2009.

The audience for "Lee Daniels' The Butler" got younger and whiter as the civil rights saga this weekend rolled to its second consecutive victory at the North American box office.
The Oprah Winfrey-Forest Whitaker historical drama took in an estimated $17 million to easily beat out wide openers "Mortal Instruments: City of Bones," the horror film "You're Next" and "The World's End," none of which cracked $10 million over the three days.
"We're the Millers," the R-rated comedy starring Jennifer Aniston Jason Sudeikis, was second with $13.5 million in its third week. It was on a market-high 3,445 theaters – Warner Bros. expanded it by 120 locations – but that's just a 26 percent drop from last weekend. With a domestic total of $91.7 million, it's a sure bet to hit $100 million now, not bad for a movie that cost $37 million.

Woody Allen's "Blue Jasmine," which Sony Pictures Classics expanded from 229 theaters to 1,283, failed to break out but finished ninth overall with $4.3 million.
After "The Butler" played to crowds that were 76 percent over 35 years of age and nearly 40 percent African-American in its $25 million debut last weekend, the numbers dropped to 63 percent and 33 percent in its second week. The gender breakdown -- 60 percent female -- was steady.
The strong second week -- it was down just 31 percent from its first week -- and broadening demographic for "The Butler" is good news for the Weinstein Company. It makes an extended run more likely for the film, which is already generating Oscar buzz, and could potentially play through the awards season.
It tells the true story of Eugene Allen (Whitaker), a butler who served in the White House through eight presidential administrations. Oprah plays Allen's wife.

Disney pulled off just such a similar box-office run in 2011 with "The Help" which dealt with race through the prism of black women working for white families.
It also opened in August and rode a wave of Oscar buzz and stayed in theaters through the awards season, eventually rolling up $170 million domestically and $212 million worldwide. It took in $20 million in its second week, after debuting with $26 million.
"I hesitate to compare it to those kind of numbers," TWC's distribution chief Erik Lomis told TheWrap, "but this is a very good result and we're looking forward to a long run. We're going to top or come close to $100 million."
Produced for around $25 million, "The Butler" is up to $52 million domestically in two weeks.
Lomis said he wasn't surprised that the demographic numbers were shifting.
"This really is an important movie and as the word spreads, we think the crowds will get more and more broad," he said.
Sony's PG-13-rated teen-targeting "Mortal Instruments" finished third with a soft $9.3 million from 2,835 locations over the three days. The supernatural fantasy opened Wednesday and its five-day total is $14 million, in line with the studio's low expectations.
It is the third film this year to target the "Twilight" crowd and come up short. "Beautiful Creatures" and "The Host" misfired earlier. It scored with its target demographic teen girls (68 percent female, 46 percent under 21), just not enough of them. They gave it a "B+" CinemaScore.
Focus Features' R-rated sci-fi comedy "The World's End" had the best per-screen average of any movie. It finished finished fourth with $8.9 million from 1,548 theaters. That's $5,773 per-location, topping the $5,472 of "The Butler."
Also read: Simon Pegg Trashes 'Man of Steel,' 'Transformers' Following His 'F--- You' to 'Star Trek' Critics
The third film from Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg, in which a group of pals on an epic pub run try to save the world, played young (71 percent under 35) and male (58 percent). It topped the debut of the last effort from the filmmakers, "Hot Fuzz." That one ran up $23 million domestically in 2007 after its opened to $5.8 million. Audiences gave it a "B+" CinemaScore.
Lionsgate's R-rated "You're Next" had a chance to follow "The Purge" and "The Conjuring" as the third low-budget horror film to win a weekend this summer, but came in well under analysts' expectation with $7 million and finished seventh. The critics loved it (80 percent positive on Rotten Tomatoes), but audiences gave it just a "B-" CinemaScore.
"Disney's animated "Planes" raised its domestic total to nearly $60 million with its $8.5 million third week and was fifth. Sony's "Elysium" was sixth with $7.1 million and has brought in almost $70 million after three weeks.
Fox's teen fantasy "Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters" was eighth with $5.2 million and last week's No. 2 film, Universal's R-rated teen action comedy 'Kick Ass 2," fell off sharply and wound up 10th with $4.2 million.
The summer will be the biggest ever in terms of domestic grosses, but with the blockbusters in the rear view mirror, business has slowed dramatically. To put things in perspective, the $91 million total for the top 12 movies is just over half of what "Iron Man 3" debuted with to open the season in May.

Rachel Shechtman: Top Tips For Young Entrepreneurs [PSFK 2014]
No idea is too big or too crazy, and don't let perfectionism get in the way of finishing a project.
In anticipation of her talk with Will Berman at the PSFK CONFERENCE 2014 on April 11th, we caught up with retail innovator and STORY founder Rachel Shechtman about her unique perspective on entrepreneurship. Rachel hosts 'Pitch Nights' where makers and entrepreneurs come to present their goods and businesses for evaluation, and it was at one of these events that she met Will, a young denim goods maker with a passion for his product. They will be presenting together on the PSFK stage on April 11th.
What inspired you to start Pitch Night?
I have always been obsessed with finding new things and meeting new businesses, designers, makers. I had a startup I never started in 1999 that was part incubator / co-op for emerging brands. And now with STORY, we have a physical space to share, display and amplify amazing stories from independent makers while also democratizing access in the physical world.
Do we offer enough exposure of young entrepreneurs in our country?
I think we are getting better about supporting and inspiring young entrepreneurs but this is just the beginning. Technology and the web enable discovery and participation, and I think we have barely scratched the surface of what's to come.
What are some key tips that you would give to people thinking about starting their own business?
– Hire slow fire fast (as a wise friend Mr Ben Lerer once advised me).
– Don't be afraid to ask for help
– No idea is too big or too crazy – do it! And don't let perfection get in the way of making something happen…you will iterate.
– Sleep
What was the thing that struck you about Will when you first met?
His confidence, passion and overwhelming entrepreneurial spirit! If I hadn't seen Will before his pitch, and just heard him – I would have thought he was in his thirties – an experienced designer, with success and years under his belt. Our entire STORY team fell in love instantly and he is now an extended member of our STORY family.
Thanks Rachel!

VMCs Increase Productivity, Quality
Makino's PS-series VMCs for production machining are designed to reduce cycle time, increase productivity, improve quality and minimize capital investment.
New Product Post: 11/1/2011
Makino's PS-series VMCs for production machining are designed to reduce cycle time, increase productivity, improve quality and minimize capital investment. Its rigid construction, thermal stability and versatile spindle are well-suited for a variety of applications, including automotive, aerospace, medical and other small-component manufacturing applications, the company says.
Standard features include a 33.5-hp, high-speed, 14,000-rpm CAT40 spindle delivering 130 foot-pounds of peak torque. The series is available in two models: the PS65 and PS95. The smaller PS65 features XYZ travels measuring 26", 20" and 18.1", respectively; a 36.2" × 20" table; and a maximum workload of 1,323 lbs. The larger PS95 features XYZ travels of 36.2", 20" and 18.1", respectively; a 46" × 20" table; and a maximum workload of 1,763 lbs. Both models are equipped with a 30-tool ATC (50-tool ATC optional).
Based on a traditional C frame, the series' design uses finite element analysis (FEA) techniques on the cast iron components to optimize rigidity and torsional stiffness. The construction ensures the quick, efficient transfer of the cutting forces through the structure of the machine—from spindle into the column, and ultimately the bed of the machine. In addition, the symmetrical nature of the casting, incorporation of core-cooled ballscrews and support bearings, and a closed-loop temperature compensation system secure the tightest tolerance and minimal variations during long production part runs.
Designed for flexibility and high productivity, the series' standard 14,000-rpm CAT40 spindle (HSK-A63 optional) is suited for the job-shop environment. According to the company, spindle characteristics, such as duty ratings at 33.5-hp (24.2 hp continuous) and 130 foot-pounds of peak torque (70.5 foot-pounds continuous), increase efficiency and machine productivity over a range of materials. Large-diameter bearings, air-oil lubrication and jacket-spindle temperature control deliver long-term thermal stability and stiff, rigid, chatter-free cutting.
Chip and coolant systems also enhance productivity. Configured with flood, overhead shower, flush and through-spindle coolant as standard features, chips are efficiently and effectively removed from the cutting zone, the company says. Spiral chip augers located in the front and rear of the worktable are designed to quickly and efficiently evacuate chips and coolant from the machining zone and into a standard lift-up chip conveyor (LUCC).
Professional P control software is configured to support a variety of applications in the job shop and production environment.

"We ordered this RSVP card to go with our invitation, Bubbly Borders. The designer matched the colors perfectly and we were very pleased. They looked like they were made to go together."
"I really love this set of invitations. The response card is a nice contrast to the blue Bold Star invites. I wish we could have a bit more control over text on these but they worked out fine and they looked great!"
"Coordinates well with the invitation. It works well for single responses (they color in the star), but doesn't have a spot to put the number of attendees in the case of a family. I would recommend a short line after "will attend"."
"The modern Bar Mitzvah cards were perfect. Heavy paper quality, great colors, and a reasonable price. Our guests all loved them too!"

Oscars and Meryl Streep set social media abuzz
By Alex Dobuzinskis
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The Oscars gave the online community a lot to talk about on Sunday, as the number of social media comments about Hollywood's biggest night more than tripled from last year in a sign that viewers connected with the show.
This year's Academy Awards had the Web buzzing about Meryl Streep's first Oscar victory since 1983, the dangerously cut neckline of singer-actress Jennifer Lopez's dress and the striking resemblance that French producer Thomas Langmann was said to bear to the late actor Peter Lorre.
The Internet-tracking firm Bluefin Labs counted 3.4 million Oscar-related comments on Facebook and Twitter, up from 966,00 for the 2011 Academy Awards telecast.
Those numbers are likely to be significant for Oscar producers, who could point to viewers' higher level of social media engagement to win greater advertising revenues for next year's show.
"It was pretty big and pretty healthy growth from last year," said Tom Thai, vice president of marketing for the Massachusetts-based Bluefin Labs.
The Oscar celebrity most often mentioned by social media commentators on Sunday night, according to Bluefin, was Streep.
The 62-year-old actress won the third Academy Award of her career for her role as former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in "The Iron Lady."
"BY FAR the best #Oscars acceptance speech belonged to Meryl Streep!," tweeted celebrity blogger Perez Hilton. Continued...

Boston U. Barely Edges Albany As Preseason Favorite to Top Field Hockey Standings
Related Links
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Coming off a season that saw America East produce the third-highest conference field hockey RPI in the nation, Boston University has slightly edged University at Albany as the preseason favorite to top the conference's field hockey standings in 2012. The vote, which was made by the conference's head coaches who were not permitted to vote for their own team, was announced Friday morning.
Boston U. earned 23 points and three out of a possible five first-place votes, while Albany followed just one point behind with 22 points and garnered the other three first-place tallies.
University of Maine came in third with 16 points, while University of New Hampshire, the reigning conference champion, was tabbed fourth with 14 points. Fairfield University (9 points) and University of Vermont (6) round out the six-team poll.
The 2012 campaign kicks off next week with all six teams opening on either Aug. 24 or 25. Four teams will qualify for the 2012 America East Championship, which will be played at the highest seed on November 2 and 4. The league champion will receive an automatic bid to the NCAA Field Hockey Championship.
Boston U. (11-9 overall, 4-1 America East) shared the regular-season title and was one of four America East squads to finish the 2011 season in the national rankings (13th). The Terriers return their top four scorers from last year's squad, including Jacinda McLeod, the two-team America East Defensive Player of the Year and leading scorer Macey Gaumond (10G, 4A), a second-team all-league choice a year ago. Boston U., which begins play at Delaware on Aug. 24, will welcome five newcomers to the program, including junior transfer Ella Gunson, who helped New Zealand to a fourth-place finish at the Olympics.
Albany (13-7, 3-2), the league champion in 2008 and 2010, finished the 2011 season ranked 14th and brings back several key players from that squad. Goalkeeper Kristi Troch, the reigning two-time America East Goalkeeper of the Year, ranked ninth nationally with a 1.34 goals-against average and helped Albany rank ninth as a team in GAA. Offensively, the Great Danes will look to Corinne McConnville, an All-American a year ago, after she ranked among America East leaders with 12 goals and four assists last year. Albany kicks off its 2012 season at Rutgers on Aug. 24.
Maine (16-4, 3-2) had one of its best seasons in school history a year ago, peaking at No. 10 in the national rankings before finishing 17th. The Black Bears return 11 players from that team, which led the nation averaging 3.45 goals per game. America East Co-Rookie of the Year Holly Stewart is the team's top returning scorer as she tallied 30 points on 12 goals and six assists in 2011. Maine commences its 2012 season at home against Boston College on Aug. 25
New Hampshire (17-5, 4-1) swept the regular-season and tournament titles for the first time in school history last year en route to finishing the season ranked ninth in the country. The Wildcats will rely on Megan Bozek, a second-team all-conference standout, to lead the backfield and Emma Erler, who ranked fourth among league leaders in assists last year, to carry the offense. UNH begins play at home against UMass on Aug. 24.
Fairfield (9-8, 1-4) enjoyed its first winning season since becoming an associate member for field hockey in 2007. The Stags, who open their season at Hofstra on Aug. 24, welcome back 14 letterwinners and seven starters from last year's team, including Felecitas Heinen, a second-team all-conference performer last season.
Vermont (6-11, 0-5) is in search of its first America East Championship appearance since 2007 and brings back six starters from last year's team, including two of the team's top three scorers in Colleen Slaughter (8G) and Taylor Silvestro (3G, 2A). The Catamounts begin their season Aug. 24 vs. James Madison.

well Curly has come a long way. he is a beautiful cat and he is a silly one. he only likes to eat soft cat food from a can. he has stopped going on the counter to get the bread. we just have to make sure he gets fed twice a day. he still begs for people food and if you don't watch it he will steal your food if you leave it on the coffee table. he really likes ice cream so don't eat it when he is around:) i will be putting him up for adoption and hope to find him a good home with his momma. it would be the best thing for him since we have too many of our own kitties.
curly is the youngest of our cats. he seems to have stayed somewhat small. he does not like to eat dry cat food???? he does really like the canned cat food. i am now figuring out that as tiny as he is, he can still get on the counter. the kitchen counter that is. he is so bad he even likes to get on our dinner table. there is nothing there for him to get, so i don't know why he is doing that. none of our other cats go on the counter or the table. he gets a small can of cat food for breakfast and one at dinner time. i guess since he is a growing boy maybe he needs a can at lunch also.i just don't want him to just be eating all of the time . he is afraid of me because i am the one who gets to scold him. he is a little goofy. he likes to carry around socks. if they are folded into a ball, you can throw it and he can bring it back. of course he only does this with his dad. his dad also feeds him, that is why he likes dad a bunch. one other thing he likes to do is to suck of off his kitty mom. she is spayed, so she is not producing milk. lately i have been making the same noise he makes while sucking on his kitty mom. he just looks at me in a funny way. i can make the noise, when he is not around , and he will come running. he is not a very smart kitten. i guess his kitty mom does not like it,so when he comes around to suck off of her, she kicks him. she gets his head pretty good. she is not much older than him. sometimes she plays with him for a while. then she goes on her merry way.
today my brothers got adopted. i was happy and do not really miss them. mom spoiled me and i got a small can of soft food. first i got a spoon full but i learned that if i keep crying they will give me more! then dad let me taste some ice cream. (dad got in trouble for that!) sometimes i like to go in the birdcage and pretend to be a bird. they always take me out of the cage when i try to play pat-a-cake with the birds. i also like to beg and scream when the bunnies get treats. i hear them say "does anybody want a cookie?" they get cheese nips or yogurt treats. i get some because i beg real loud! they always say," as much as you eat,you should be the biggest kitty here." the other day someone left a bagel on the table, bad luck for the bagel. it's very quiet now, i hope my brothers are happy because i know i am.

This is no joke...it works!!
A little tip from a DIY plumber. On a few occasions, I would tap into an existing water line after shutting the water off at the main. To put a "tee" in for an example. I would shut off the water at the main, open the highest tap and the lowest to drain the system and then cut the pipe. As soon as I put the heat to the pipe to solder in the "tee" the moisture that was left in the pipe would come down and ruin the joint. To unsolder this joint was a pain in the a**. The trick is, after you cut the pipe, stuff a slice of bread up each end of the pipe and it absorbs any moisture flowing towards the joint. When you are done, turn on the water and the bread breaks down and disipates through your pipes. I would be interested to hear from professional plumbers on this trick as it was passed on to me by one. It realy works!
I'm not a plumber, but I've used that trick in my renovating career, and it does work. However... make sure you're not using some whole grain 'healthy' bread, the seeds in it will get into valves, aerators etc. and cause no end of trouble. Only white bread.
Yep, I've heard of that but never had to use it. i think the sell something non-eatable at the plumbing supply that does the same thing. I've always had luck watching where i cut and then draining and then pulling down on the pipes relieving about 30 seconds of excess water, enought time to sweat the joint. Like you said leave something open to relieve any steam pressure. HS
I've used the old bread trick any number of times over the years as a long-time DIYer. Usually, you only need to do one pipe. And as indicated, use white bread only (no crust and you don't need a whole piece...just a little ball or enough to temporarily stop the water dribble). It will dissolve and flush out just as soon as you turn on the water pressure.
I'll throw in mine too...yep, white bread works!
Another trick for vertical lines is to use a straw. After you cut into the line, the water drops out of the top half, but stands in the bottom half. If you can't relieve it for whatever reason, or just don't want to run downstairs :D just put a straw in it and put your thumb over the end to 'pick the water up'. Release your thumb over an area where you don't mind a puddle! A plumber I used to work with carried a long thin piece of copper just for this purpose. Continue until you can't reach any more water. One thing though about water, it does not take much to make it impossible to solder.
I have never had to sacrifice my lunch to get a job done!! But, then again I'm not a DIY'er!! I have heard it works and will take everyone's word.

So.........for a 9mm, would you rather have 115 grain Speer Gold Dot or 124 grain Remington Golden Saber?
Printable View
So.........for a 9mm, would you rather have 115 grain Speer Gold Dot or 124 grain Remington Golden Saber?
I'd take either. I prefer a heavier bullet, but I also prefer the GD over the GS. If forced to choose...probably the GS.
But I'd take a 124, or better yet, a 147 Gold Dot over both of 'em.
don't know about those particular bullets....but for my defensive ammo, I have 124 gr. Perhaps I should consider adding some 147 to the mix...
Of the two, the 127 g GS load.
Either will assist in stopping an attack...shoot with both and decide which you prefer...'talking' about it won't cut it. OMO
124gr GDHP. If not available, then I'd go with the Golden Saber. That's what I mostly carry in the 40S&W and the 45acp anyway.
Go for the 124 grain +p Golden Saber Bonded.
Remington Golden Sabers are the SD ammo of choice for me in my Sig P239 9mm and Ruger LCP .380
I've heard nothing but good things abut them and also like that they make the heaviest (102 grain) .380 SD round on the market.
Thanks to all for their insight.
Either one should be sufficient to "terminate negotiations".:hand10:

Wedding Cupcakes
I traveled to N. Carolina to do these cupcakes for a friend's wedding. Baked them all in a small hotel oven with one rack, big enough to bake only 1 tray of 12. Luckily, I only had to make about 75 of them :) The different types of flowers denote the different flavors of cupcakes. The roses were for chocolate, filled with a peanut butter filling, the dogwoods were white almond with a raspberry filling, and the tiny flowers were a lemon cake filled with raspberry filling as well.

This is a true situation that occurred yesterday, and while it ended well, I thought I'd bring it up as a discussion topic. My wife, 8 y/o granddaughter and I were out for a walk at a local state recreation area. This particular area is a blackwater swamp and the trail is actually an elevated boardwalk that is between 4" and 2 feet above ground/water level. The boardwalk dead ends about 1/4 mile from the parking lot and the terrain is pretty well impassable into the brush/swamp at the end of the boardwalk. As we approached the end, a movement caught my eye and I found myself looking at this peaceful fellow laying under the boardwalk. He looked at us, we looked at him, took a few pictures and retreated softly back the way we came. Great outcome, and especially since he looked to be a robust 7-8 feet in length. I was armed with my .40 M&Pc, loaded with 11 rounds of 165 gr. Winchester PDX. He's my "what-if" scenario: We pass by while Al E. Gator snoozes under the decking. Hearing our footfalls (remember, we can't see him and we are with a rambunctious third grader), he pulls out into the sun and climbs up to see who's bothering him. We now find ourselves with our backs to an impenetrable alligator-occupied swamp and our only path out blocked by an inquisitive 8 foot reptile with too many teeth to count. There is no one else visible, it's mid-day, and no cell coverage (all true statements at the time of our encounter). I'd like to get some other's ideas; I'll save a zombie apocalypse story for another day :smile:

Window Sales Tumble From Record Highs
June 15, 2007
FEATURE ARTICLE | Products
With new home construction down and residential remodeling expenditures flat last year, window sales tumbled 5.3 percent in 2006, according to a new report from the American Architectural Manufacturers Association and the Window and Door Manufacturers Association. Weak market conditions are expected to produce a further 9.4 percent decline this year, before sales pick up again in 2008.
Prepared by Ducker Research Co. Inc., the AAMA/WDMA 2007 U.S. Industry Statistical Review and Forecast sees better times ahead for the nonresidential window market. There, demand jumped 9 percent last year, with further increases expected this year and next. The curtain wall segment has enjoyed the biggest gains thanks to a trend toward more open spaces and natural lighting in buildings, the study notes.
Following six years of growth that helped push window and door sales to record levels, housing starts dropped severely in 2006. Ducker points to rising new home inventories following a decrease in new home sales in the second half of 2006 contributing to a 14.6 percent decline in single-family housing starts for the year. Multi-family starts declined by 4.8 percent during this same period.
The study foresees the steep drop continuing, as builders work to reduce their current inventory levels. Single-family starts are projected to decline another 16.1 percent in 2007, while multi-family starts will likely drop another 4.6 percent. Next year will see some improvement, the report suggests, but analysts don't see a rebound to recent highs for the foreseeable future.
The window and door industry has long enjoyed steady growth in replacement and remodeling activity, but even there, the study suggests times are tough. Pointing to data from the U.S. Census Bureau and the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies, Ducker states that residential improvement expenditures only saw 1.6 percent growth in 2006. Declining sales in existing homes and the reluctance of homeowners to make significant home improvements in a weak housing market took their toll in the second half of last year and will continue to do so. Overall, residential improvement expenditures are expected to decline by nearly 2 percent in 2007 and show a slower level of growth over the next five years.
After breaking the 70 million mark in 2005, residential window shipments declined to an estimated 66.7 million units in 2006 (Table 1). Weak market conditions mean that number is expected to decrease again this year, and this pattern is evident for residential doors and skylights as well.
In the window arena, wood products suffered the biggest losses last year. Vinyl's share continued to grow marginally, but vinyl window sales also declined by 3.5 percent, the AAMA/WDMA study notes.
Starting with significantly lower market shares, alternative materials fared better, with fiberglass growing by 6 percent in 2006 and composites and other types of products growing by 2.5 percent. Ducker sees this share of the market continuing to grow as consumer and builder awareness of these materials increases, but they are not expected to surpass a 5 percent market share level overall through 2010.
Fiberglass is making more progress in doors. In fact, while most residential products will see declines this year, fiberglass entry door sales are expected to grow in 2007. Ducker sees these sales growing over the next few years, primarily at the expense of insulated steel units.
Overall, the weak new construction will push door sales down, however. Unit volume for entry doors was estimated to be down 4.6 percent in 2006, with another 7 to 8 percent decline predicted for this year (Fig. 1). Interior doors were down 3.8 percent in 2006 and also projected to be down about 7 percent to 8 percent in 2007.
Patio door shipments correlate closely with window shipments, but regional trends and usage trends lead to some variations between these markets, the study notes. For 2006, total patio door volume declined by 5.4 percent, with a 9 percent drop seen on the new construction side and remodeling and replacement market off 2 percent.
The study notes that vinyl and fiberglass both continued to grow market share in patio doors, primarily against aluminum and, to a lesser extent, wood. That trend is expected to continue, but overall patio door sales are forecast to decline 6.5 percent for 2007.
Storm door shipments declined about 5 percent in 2006, while storm windows decreased by 9 percent. While other residential products are expected to see some rebound in sales in 2008 and beyond, Ducker predicts both storm door and storm window usage declining steadily over the next five years.
The residential skylight market has been hit not only by the slowdown in new home construction, but also by decreased preference for skylights in key regions such as Florida, the study notes. While window and door sales slipped about 5 percent in 2006, residential skylights fell by about 9 percent. Skylight sales, however, are expected to begin recovering in 2008.
While the residential window business peaked in 2005, the AAMA/WDMA report sees the nonresidential glazing market peaking in 2008. Total sales, measured in square footage of vision area for this segment, jumped 9 percent to 505 million square feet in 2006 and are expected to increase 5 percent this year, and another 2.5 percent in 2008.
The study divides the nonresidential market into four segments: curtain wall, storefront, site-fabricated windows and shop-fabricated windows. As noted, curtain wall outpaced the market with a 16 percent increase last year, the storefront and site fabricated markets grew by roughly 8 percent. The shop fabricated window market grew by 6.5 percent last year, but the study sees it beginning to outpacing nonresidential products with a projected 7 percent gain for 2008.
Doors are following a trend similar to windows in the nonresidential market. A wide mix of materials is used in both the interior and exterior markets. In both arenas, the report suggests wood and "other" type doors are gaining share versus steel and aluminum.
The AAMA/WDMA study features historical data for 2002 through 2006 and forecasts for 2007 through 2010, based on projections of construction activity and appropriate usage factors developed by Ducker Research. The database for the study's information has been compiled from a number of sources, including the Census Bureau, and association member and non-member companies.

Late in Sunday's loss to the Lions, Redskins coach Mike Shanahan yanked quarterback Donovan McNabb and inserted Rex Grossman, ostensibly because Grossman knows the team's two-minute offense better than McNabb.
The more we think about that one, the less we believe it.
Here's Shanahan and McNabb discussing the loss to a team that is 2-36 against the rest of the league and 2-0 against the Redskins since December 2007.

MySQL Milestone Release 5.5.0
To counter the back-and-forth about the future of the free MySQL database after Oracle's takeover of Sun Microsystems, developers have put effort into releasing another test version, called a second milestone, of the product.
MySQL developers explain the lack of a first milestone release for 5.5 by their new release model, which moved to milestones instead of alpha and beta designations. Milestone 1 was actually version 5.4, which had not yet adopted the new model. Goal of the model is sequences of shorter releases with fewer features that are thoroughly tested, rather than alphas and betas in longer intervals leading to a major release. In theory, developers and users are thereby better served in trying out new features.
Behind what is called MySQL 5.5.0-m2 and ready for download are numerous enhancements in the replication mechanisms and partitioning models. The complete list of changes is at the MySQL developer site. A download of the new milestone is also available there.

All government operations were assumed by the permanent secretaries of the individual departments, and this arrangement lasted until the Liberation of Denmark on 5 May 1945.

Its graduation rate was 88.7 percent, a 7.4 percentage point increase compared with the previous year.
George Jenkins Principal Buddy Thomas said he's excited about his school leading in the district's graduation rates for the second year in a row.
"It takes everybody to make someone successful," he said Monday.
Lake Region High School has the highest percentage point increase of students graduating, increasing 9.8 points to 76.8.
Lake Region Principal Joel McGuire heard about his results on the way to church Sunday, and he said it made for a joyous service.
"It was a total school effort," he said. "Everybody worked so hard — the students, the counselors and teachers. We have mentoring programs, counseling programs and all kinds of things that really helped."
Charter and collegiate high schools continued to outpace other schools in high school graduation rates in Polk County. Lakeland Collegiate graduated 100 percent of its students, and Chain of Lakes Collegiate was next with 99.2 percent. Both are programs run by Polk State College.
Polk County's overall graduation rate in 2011-12 was 67.6 percent, a 1.2 percentage point increase over the 2010-2011 rate of 66.4 percent.
The state graduation rate is 74.5 percent, a 3.9 percentage point increase from the previous year. DOE officials said this year's graduation rate is the largest single-year increase since 2003.
One goal in the School District's strategic plan is to be within 3 percentage points of the state graduation rate by the 2013-14 school year. While the district's percentage did get better, it was 6.9 percentage points behind the state average, and district officials said there's more work to be done.
"I'm happy that we increased, but I would love to see our rates go up much more than that," said Wilma Ferrer, senior director of assessment, accountability and evaluation.
David Lewis, associate superintendent of learning, said he has assembled a team to review the data to see what the district can do differently at the schools struggling with graduation rates.
For instance, Winter Haven High School's graduation rate slipped from 77.8 percent a year ago to 71.1 percent this year.
What has been helpful with tackling graduation rates has been the district's early warning system, Lewis said. Automatic reports are sent to schools concerning attendance, discipline and grade performance — all of which play a role, he said.
Graduation rates are one of several factors the DOE uses to calculate high school grades, which are expected to be released sometime this month.
Compared with five years ago, minority students performed well across the state, according to the DOE data.
The number of black students graduating in the state increased from 50 percent in 2008 to 63.7 percent in 2012. The graduation rate for Hispanic students increased from 59.8 percent in 2008 to 72.9 percent.
In Polk, 62 percent of black students and 61.5 percent of Hispanic students graduated in the 2011-12 school year.
Since 2011, federal regulations have required states to calculate rates based only on standard diplomas. Prior to that, states were able to include special diplomas in the calculation.

Fantastic Product
By Maureen
LOVE this product! I didn't think Elizabeth's skin care could get any better, but this treatment takes it to a new level of great results. I'm 65, have dry skin and my skin has improved dramatically with this. Even softer and younger-looking. You've done it again, Elizabeth! We love you.

I am so in love and so impressed with this product. It is the best thing I have used in 30yrs. The hydration in my skin is up by about 80% (in 2 months) and my pores are shrinking. Also, it does not cause irritation on my sensitive skin or clog my pores. I honestly cannot believe the difference in my skin. I can never again be without this product. Congratulations and Thank You Elizabeth!!! (now one for the body & hands and I'll be set)

I used to be a bank teller. I would only work for banks who had off duty police doing security not security guards. I always though it would be good for certain key bank empoyee's to carry.
It isn't worth it. First, if a security guard or any other bank employee were to miss the perp and hit a customer, it would be very costly. Second, the amount that's taken in the average bank robbery is relatively small, and bank robbery has one of the highest clearance rates of any crime. The FBI gets involved from the beginning. Between them, the dye packs, and the high clearance rate, it always amazes me when people still try to rob a bank. You're better off hitting a convenience store- far less likely to be caught.
I may take a beating over this, but it's my opinion, and it won't be the first time I've taken a beating. Personally, I would be against the idea. I believe there is a strong possibility that this could do more harm than good, and make a bad situation even worse. Too many cameras, and silent alarms.....I say let the bank robber(s) take the cash and go with no resistance and I would imagine that statistically nobody gets hurt. If you want to think about better bank security.......make cell phone calls within the bank off limits to customers. My reasoning? Recon and the point man.
Under normal conditions no,but before the bank opens while letting in employees there is a possibility of being robbed and IIRC there was one robbery that occurred where the robber didn't leave any witnesses alive
Statistically, there are very few bank robberies and those that do occur, seldom result with employees being shot. In my view, the risk of striking an innocent person would be a serious concern.
What's the difference in a teller carrying a firearm and a customer carrying a firearm.
In teaching CCW classes we stress when to just be a good witness and let the situation develop and resolve itself. That being said if things starting going really bad, the teller or the customer at least have a fighting chance.
It not about about having the firearm on you, its the logical, tactical and ethical use of the firearm in self defense of persons only (money not so much..unless it's mine, then kill them all and let god sort them out)
That last part was humor in case your a lib.
An interesting question...:rolleyes:
As one who believes (along with many from this forum) that the ability for those in education with training and a CCW permit to be armed in schools (like in UT), I think that under certain circumstances it might be a good idea to arm bank employees, too.
Now the problem lies in who should be allowed to CCW.
In schools, the media make it sound like arming teachers would be equivalent to passing out paper, pencils and Glocks to each and every teacher in September. We know that is not what was ever intended. But, if a teacher had his/her permit, received additional training (if required) and could then be allowed to CCW in a school...I say go for it.
The same could apply to bank employees. Guns would not be handed out to all bank employees, but those with permits and specialized training for 'bank situations'...let them carry.
Here in FL, I can carry into any bank, and I do...why shouldn't employees be afforded the same rights?
I read so many here talk about their rights to SD, shouldn't bank employees have those same rights if it is their choice?
How could any of you deny bank employees the right to be armed, feel that it might not be safe for YOU, but in the next thread talk about not going to businesses that take that right away from YOU?
Just because a bank employee has a sidearm (like most of us) does not mean he/she is expected to do anything except use common sense, and with training and practice, know when and how to use the 'tool's he/she is allowed to carry...given the proper opportunity.
We talk 'tough threads' about RKBA, about places being safer if we can have our sidearms with us, about our training, practice, and staying in yellow...:confused::confused::confused:.
We talk about 'guns safe zones' being a magnet for dirtbags? How desirable would it be for bank robbers who can count on 'no guns' or one gun by the front door being held by an 85 year old with a cane...instead having to worry about 25 armed customers and another 20 armed employees?
We don't see wackos walking into police stations to pull their brazen antics now, do we? I wonder why?
Stay armed...count your money carefully...stay safe!
If I was a bank employee, I would want to carry.
If I was a bank customer and someone tried to rob the bank while I was inside, I would hope some employees other than the lone security guard (if there even was one) were carrying.
Most bank robberies go off without a shot. Most people go through every day without encountering a life-threatening situation with a BG.
I carry and train for the exceptions.
A bank is not a "can't get shot during a robbery" zone. And just because people are armed, it doesn't mean they will draw and fire. It depends on the situation. I don't think bank employees' training will change from "just give them the money." My guess is they would be trained to only intervene in life-threatening situations such as if the robbers were shooting or executing people.
I doubt it will ever happen, but I believe bank employees who want to be armed should be allowed to be armed.
The question is why should we deny someone else their individual rights to CCW while insisting that we should be able to carry everywhere. All the antis have the same argument about anyone carrying anywhere, period: Just don't resist and you'll be fine.
Horse Puckey. That's leaving my life to chance and the whim of a felon. I'm not into letting a scumbag make life or death decisions for me. I want to observe and decide for myself which of my options I should be using, but I want them all with me.
Discreetly carried, I see no reason why not. These peoples lives are no different than my own.
They should have an equal chance in protection of their lives too.
Yes they should just like we all should be allowed to carry anywhere anytime.
I spoke with the manager of my local credit union one day not long after they were robbed and he told me how helpless he felt being inside with the robber and having his pistol in his glovebox.
He couldn't carry per company policy.
Yes, if they have a CCL.
About 15 years ago when I was a bank teller, the bank I was working got robbed. It would have been 4 v 1 if I was armed, but there were opportunities that would have worked to my advantage (one was covering everyone in the vault while the other three were at the front of the bank with the manager by the ATM). If I had taken that guy out, would the other three have fled or fought back, thus endangering the 10 employees and customers in the vault?
In short, there are more potential situations than the lone robber that an employee would have to think about.
My wife has been in banking for 25 years and so far never been through a robbery but that does not mean it won't happen. If the turds were to hit the fan at her bank and things went bad I would hope that some good guy was carrying. I agree that protecting the bank assets is not a good reason but they have the same right to protect their life as EVERYONE else.
Absolutely ... every one of them, if they choose. And, every person from supervisor on up, as a requirement of the job.Quote:
Do you think bank employee's should carry?
If the rationale is that it isn't worth it due to the paltry sums taken in robberies, the number of instances can be drawn down to practically nothing over time, via aggressive armed resistance every time.
The logic is no different than with citizens going about their normal tasks. The greater the number of mines, the more capable the minefield.
My $0.03.
