During his life in sports, Beano Cook left a long trail of friends. He also showered the landscape with an array of quotations, observations and anecdotes, many true and most printable.
Nationally, he was known as a quirky, colorful TV commentator. In Pittsburgh, his hometown since age 7, he was known simply as an institution.
Cook died Thursday at age 81. His death was announced by the University of Pittsburgh, his alma mater and one of many past employers.
Ivan Maisel, a colleague at ESPN with whom Cook was associated since 1985, said Cook died in his sleep.
Known as the "Cardinal" or "Pope" of college football, Cook lamented in an Oct. 1 blog that "health issues hit me at the worst time — start of college football season." In a quip several years ago that proved to be prophetic, Cook said: "I don't want to die in the middle of the football season. I have to know who's No. 1 in the last polls."
Twenty years ago Cook said: "You'll never have a 16-team playoff in college football. The most that could happen would be four teams in the next century. But after that, I'm dead, so who cares?"
Last July, university presidents approved a four-team playoff system for FBS starting in 2014.
Irascible, irreverent and wholly unblessed with the kind of looks favored by the camera, Cook nevertheless built a legion of fans with his cranky humor and blunt critiques and commentary. He was a curmudgeon and a true character, one that perhaps could not have been invented.
"He was one of a kind," ESPN executive chairman George Bodenheimer said in a statement, reflecting a widely held sentiment. "There was and never will be another Beano. His combination of humor, passion, love of college football and his engaging personality left an indelible mark on the sport and touched anyone who knew him."
ESPN broadcaster Mike Tirico tweeted, "Unique, extraordinary, humorous and loved the game like few others."
Whether speaking privately with friends or on radio and TV, Cook said things people remembered. Perhaps his best-known line was uttered on CBS in 1981 after Major League Baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn offered lifetime passes to the just-released Iranian hostages. Responded Cook, "Haven't they suffered enough?"
It was typical Beano.
So was this: "You only have to bat a thousand in two things: Flying and heart transplants. Everything else you can go 4 for 5."
And this: "ESPN is like your family. It's always there. The networks are like your mother-in-law. They are there on the weekends."
Steeped in college football knowledge and history — with "an encyclopedic memory to prove it," Maisel said — Cook was not shy about predictions. Some panned out. Some did not. One that did not was his assertion that Ron Powlus, a highly recruited quarterback from Berwick, would win two Heisman Trophies at Notre Dame. Powlus had a solid career but never came close to one.
Cook's favorite word, often uttered in exasperation, was "unbelievable."
"He was original," said WTAE-TV sports anchor and TribLive Radio host Guy Junker, who knew Cook since the early 1980s. "The kinds of things he did and said would not fly with most television executives. If you saw a tape of Beano Cook, you probably wouldn't want this guy on the air. But everybody loved him."
Born Carroll Hoff Cook on Sept. 1, 1931, in Boston, Cook moved to the Chatham Village neighborhood of Duquesne Heights. It was there that he quickly acquired his nickname after his birthplace became known.
Cook never married and had no known family. A man of some eccentricities, he also refused to drive and never owned a home. He often bragged that he did not have to deal with things that men, he believed, find problematic — "a wife, a home and a car."
Cook graduated from Pitt in 1954, and after two years in the Army, he worked 10 years heading the university's sports information department. In 2002, the Beano Cook Media Room at the Petersen Events Center was dedicated.
Before joining ESPN, he worked as a sportswriter and held public-relations or on-air positions for CBS, ABC, the Miami Dolphins and Mutual Radio. He was a vice president of the Civic Arena during the ownership of Ed DeBartolo Jr. and always a presence on local radio and TV.
He also volunteered for VISTA, the domestic version of the Peace Corps.
"Beano," said Pitt athletic director Steve Pederson, "left a legacy never to be matched."

Bruins weather the storm
Hurricanes rally, but then fall back in defeat
RALEIGH, N.C. — Shawn Thornton and Chris Kelly are two of the Bruins' more responsible forwards. But in the second period Monday night at PNC Arena, turnovers by Thornton and Kelly turned into a pair of Carolina goals within 50 seconds.
First, Jordan Staal picked off a Thornton pass. Seconds later, Jeff Skinner went upstairs on Anton Khudobin. Less than a minute later, Alexander Semin stepped in front of Kelly's clearing attempt. After the turnover, Eric Staal netted the tying goal.
And just like that, a 3-1 Bruins lead had turned into a tie game by the end of 40 minutes.
As badly as the Bruins felt about the two-goal giveback, their coach knew they still had a window to win.
"Last time I looked, it was a 3-3 hockey game,'' Claude Julien recalled telling his players at second intermission. "We can't hang our head and drag that into the third. We've got to go back and win ourselves a 20-minute period. Our guys really did a good job of answering the call.''
With 1:50 remaining in regulation, David Krejci scored the winning goal. Tyler Seguin added an empty-netter as the Bruins recorded a 5-3 triumph over the Hurricanes. The Bruins have recorded nine out of 10 possible points through five games.
The game-winning sequence featured individual heroics at both ends. Nathan Horton, who had scored in the second period, had a sniff for another strike. From in tight, Horton tried to go upstairs on Cam Ward. The Carolina goaltender responded with a flash of his glove to keep the puck out.
But the Bruins' youngest player answered with a dazzler of his own. Dougie Hamilton found the rebound. There was too much traffic in front for the rookie to try for the net. Jussi Jokinen was ready to hit the deck, assuming Hamilton would take a rip for the goal.
Instead, Hamilton went against the grain to Krejci. Ward couldn't recover in time to stop Krejci's game-winning shot.
"I think we're going to see a lot of that stuff,'' Julien said. "The one thing that impressed me this year in junior is the vision that he has. He sees the ice so well and finds those open seams.''
The Bruins were at their best in the third period. The go-go Hurricanes had swarmed the Boston net through the first two periods. The Hurricanes had 24 shots through 40 minutes.
But the Bruins played more of their grinding style in the third. They pounded 17 shots on Ward in the third while limiting the Hurricanes to just eight looks on goal.
Before Carolina's second-period comeback, the Bruins had swiped a pair of two-goal leads. In the first period, two special-teams goals gave the Bruins a 2-0 advantage. Brad Marchand scored the team's first shorthanded goal of the season at 3:16.
Less than three minutes later, Zdeno Chara snapped a power-play point shot past Ward (33 saves) at 6:15. Chara had help from Milan Lucic, who set an eclipse-like screen on Ward.
Jamie McBain got Carolina on the board with his first goal of the season at 14:50. In the second period, Horton answered with a skate through the neutral zone, a dangle around Tim Gleason, and a snapper past Ward at 15:52.
Part of the reason the Bruins took a two-goal lead late into the second was the play of Khudobin. The No. 2 goalie, making his first start of the season, was sharp through 40 minutes when the Hurricanes applied the most heat.
"I felt comfortable before the game,'' he said. "I felt comfortable during the game, at the start and at the end. Guys helped me out. They blocked lots of shots. Some shots didn't get through. That was good too. I made a couple of saves too.''
Khudobin made one of his best saves in the second period. Semin blew past Chara to get a good scoring chance. Had Semin scored, the game would have been tied at 2. Instead, Khudobin booted out Semin's shot. Later in the shift, Horton scored his goal to give the Bruins the 3-1 advantage.
Khudobin (29 saves) will give the net back to Tuukka Rask Tuesday against New Jersey. It's possible Rask could start Thursday against Buffalo and Saturday against Toronto. But Khudobin proved that even after sitting for four games, he can come in and give the Bruins what they need.
"He's one of those guys who you watch in practice and watch in games, he's two different goaltenders,'' Julien said. "We saw that last year. Some guys are like that. They're better game goaltenders than practice goaltenders. He seemed focused and ready this morning. He was excited about playing. I thought he played a really solid game. They knew it was his first game. They threw everything at him. He faced the shots. I thought he did a great job. He handled the rebounds well. There were scrambles and they crashed the net a lot. But he was very poised.''

Ben and I have had our fair share of hands-on time with both Tekken and Virtua Fighter recently, but we never stopped to ask ourselves which one we liked more. Thankfully, someone went to the trouble of comparing the two on the necessary criterion: first to release, arcade dominance, console dominance, gameplay, and character selection. After a long and arduous deliberation, 1UP declared Virtua Fighter the winning series, taking home the victor's laurel for being the first to release (originally in 1993, and prior to Tekken's first appearance in 1994), arcade dominance, gameplay and character selection. Namco's consistent place as a follower of Virtua Fighter's success is the main downfall:
Namco did little to disguise its "me too" approach to game design, but to us the most important thing in a game is the game itself. While the character design and presentation are all part of the package, what matters most is when fingers press buttons and joysticks are moved. For that, we give the nod to Virtua Fighter's depth, nearly unlimited playability, and space for improvisation, compared to Tekken's dialed-in combos that put it closer to Killer Instinct or Mortal Kombat than to a true 3D fighter. Namco's own Soul Calibur did a better job of putting the "3" in "3D." In terms of gameplay, where Virtua Fighter always sought to lead, Namco was usually satisfied to follow.
It's an interesting read that works well as a brief overview of the history of the two long-standing franchises. Though similar in nature, both games have their own devoted fan bases. The fact that Virtua Fighter is no longer exclusive to a Sega platform tends to alleviate much of the fan warfare that used to erupt at the mere mention of one being better than the other, but of course, the wars of superiority continue to this day. As for my opinion, well, I've always been more a Street Fighter fan, personally, but having seen the verbal fistfights that can occur in defense of one's fighter, I imagine many gamers would have something to say about the comparison. What about you guys? Have a favorite?

Martin Kaymer (born 28 December 1984) is a German professional golfer. He became the No. 1 ranked golfer in the Official World Golf Rankings on 27 February 2011 after his runner-up finish in the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship.
Kaymer was born in Düsseldorf, Germany. He turned professional in 2005 and is a member of the European Tour. He has won nine tournaments on the tour including four in 2010 to win the Race to Dubai, formerly the Order of Merit, for the first time. Among those wins was the 2010 PGA Championship, a victory which made him only the second German to win a major championship, after Bernhard Langer.
Kaymer picked up his first professional win at the age of 20 as an amateur at the Central German Classic in 2005 on the third-tier EPD Tour. He shot a −19 (67–64–66=197) to win the tournament by a margin of five strokes.

Nothin' but Net: Making sense of the lottery
Philadelphia, PA – The future of 14 teams hang in the balance Tuesday night when the Draft Lottery takes place.
Generally, winning the lottery is a good thing.
That is not the case Tuesday night.
The lottery was created to help the poor get rich, or at least respectable. It was the Robin Hood of competitive sports drafting systems. That is, except for the years when commissioner David Stern rigged it for the New York Knicks to take Patrick Ewing and last year when the NBA-owned New Orleans Hornets (now Pelicans) won the sweepstakes for Anthony Davis.
And make no mistake, winning last year's lottery was a jackpot. Davis finished second in the rookie of the year race and is a franchise cornerstone.
The Orlando Magic are the winners (aka losers) this year. They finished with the worst record in the NBA and have the most ping-pong balls in play. They have a 25 percent chance of snatching that coveted No. 1 pick.
Whoever that shall be.
The 2013 NBA Draft is being labeled one of the worst in recent memory. It's reminding people of the 2000 NBA Draft. Fifty-eight players went that night about 12 years and 11 months ago. Three made an All-Star appearance - No. 1 Kenyon Martin, No. 19 Jamaal Magloire and No. 43 Michael Redd.
(Martin went first, but can you name the picks 2-4?)
(Stromile Swift, Darius Miles and Marcus Fizer. Ouch.)
So this year's draft is being compared to that group of dreck.
The Magic, as well as maybe 8-10 of the lottery-bound teams, would likely peg Nerlens Noel, the 7-foot center from Kentucky, with the first pick. He came out after his freshman year in Lexington and is by no means the slam dunk Davis was in the same spot 12 months prior.
Noel is a defensive force, much like Davis. Noel blocked shots in college, he rebounded in college and his offense began to improve a bit while in college.
Of course, Noel's anterior cruciate ligament also snapped in college. He didn't work out for any teams and won't because he's nowhere near ready for any basketball activities.
So, the presumptive No. 1 pick in the 2013 NBA Draft can barely walk. The injury is not the only red flag with Noel. He weighs less than most point guards do and in fact weighs less than most college kids' backpacks. Noel could've used the "freshman 15."
But that is the best of the best.
Another name you'll hear for the No. 1 pick is Ben McLemore, the shooting guard from Kansas. He's an above-average shooter and athlete, but won't transform your franchise. Remember, that kind of makeover is theoretically possible - Kevin Durant went second in the draft.
Georgetown's Otto Porter or Michigan's Trey Burke could sneak into the top spot under the right circumstances. Or the wrong ones.
This draft has some great potential eighth men in rotations, but not much more. Noel could emerge into a defensive specialist. McLemore can definitely shoot, and that's something in short supply in the NBA.
A guy like Victor Oladipo of Indiana is someone who could carve out a niche in the league as a maximum-effort player. His offense has improved over his time in Indiana, but he's not a building block for the future (sadly, after Noel, I like him the most).
There's no major impact guy in this draft. The players will probably amount to more than Swift or Miles or Fizer, but that's not the largest compliment one can pay an NBA player.
We will still watch both the lottery on Tuesday, then the draft on June 27. We always do. As fans, there still gleams the ray of optimism. "Our team won the lottery!" You believe your team, which generally stinks if it's in the lottery, can turn it around with this new member of the team.
Just warning you, that probably won't happen. Not in this draft.

In politics, it is the desperate candidate who has to stoop to dirty tricks. And they usually backfire which this one did.
Mulvaney for Congress had a fundraiser in western York County on Saturday with U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint.
Early Saturday, two things happened. A radio ad said this event was cancelled and a robo call said Mick Mulvaney would be unable to attend.
Surprise. More than 600 people came to hear DeMint and the U.S. District 5th Congressional candidate.
Sometimes, dirty tricks backfire!

WE™ Survey Suite
The WE™ Surveys are easy-to-use tools that ask students, staff and community members to share their perceptions anonymously about the learning environment, quality of instruction and leadership in a school or district. Survey results are presented in a detailed report that can guide decisions about school improvement.
The suite includes:
- WE LEARN™ – Student Survey Grades 3-5
- WE LEARN™ – Student Survey Grades 6-12
- WE TEACH™ – Instructional Staff Survey
- WE LEAD™ – Whole Staff Survey
- WE SUPPORT™ - Parent/Community Survey
Newly added surveys:
- WE INSPIRE™ - Staff Survey
- WE SUCCEED™ - Student Survey Grades 6-12
About the Surveys
- 10-15 minutes to administer
- online or on paper
- parallel items on the student and Instructional staff surveys show comparisons
Feedback from students and staff about their experiences in school can initiate innovative, meaningful school change. When school is an exciting place to be, students are engaged and staff feel empowered to help students reach their goals. When school leaders measure what they value about learner engagement and the teaching and learning environment, "data" can mean more than results on a test.

I liked this book because it was interesting. I also liked this book because I liked the pictures and how they said what happened. My favorite part of this book is when it showed Mount St. Helens with 15 miles of ash in the air. This book reminded me of when I went and saw Mount St. Helens. This book had a lot of details. If you like non-fiction books, I think you would like this one, The Eruption and Healing of Mount St. Helens. This book reminds me about me. I like to see outdoor things.
I recommend this book if you like non-fiction books. If you read this book, you will know 100% about volcanoes. The author of this book made me think like I'm there again. I think you would like this interesting book. If you want to learn more about Mount St. Helens, I recommend this book.

Right-wing media turn on Rove for "trashing" O'Donnell
Right-wing media figures are attacking Fox News' Karl Rove for "trashing" Christine O'Donnell after her victory in the Delaware GOP Senate primary, stating that his comments were "disgraceful" and that Rove "came across as an effete sore loser."
Rove attacked O'Donnell's "checkered background," says she does not "evince the characteristics of rectitude and truthfulness"
Rove: O'Donnell will have to explain "checkered background"; she does not "evince the characteristics of rectitude and truthfulness and sincerity and character." On the September 14 edition of Fox News' Hannity, Rove said: "One thing that Christine O'Donnell is now going to have to answer in the general election that she didn't have to answer in the primary is her own checkered background." He later said: "I've met her. I'm not -- I've got to tell you, I wasn't, frankly, impressed as her, you know, abilities as a candidate. And again, these serious questions about how does she make her living, why did she mislead voters about her college education, how come it took her nearly two decades to pay her college bill so she could get her college degree. How does she make a living? Why did she sue a well-known and well-thought-of conservative think tank?" Rove further stated during the segment:
ROVE: It does conservatives little good to support candidates who, at the end of the day, while they may be conservative in their public statements, do not evince the characteristics of rectitude and truthfulness and sincerity and character that the voters are looking for. And we'll see how she can answer these questions. She sure as heck didn't answer them thus far in the campaign, and now in the general election, she will be asked about them.
SEAN HANNITY (host): I interviewed her, and I felt her explanations were far more plausible than what was played up.
ROVE: Did you ask her about the people who were following her home to her headquarters, and how she's checked each night in the bushes? Did you ask her - I mean, there are just a lot of nutty things she's been saying that just simply don't add up.
After Hannity said to Rove, "It sounds like you don't support her," Rove responded, "I'm for the Republican, but I gotta tell you, we were looking at eight to nine seats in the Senate; we're now looking at seven to eight in my opinion. This is not a race we're going to be able to win."
Right-media attack Rove for his "disgraceful" remarks
Malkin: "Rove came across as an effete sore loser." In a September 14 post [1], Malkin wrote that Rove "trash[ed]" O'Donnell during the Hannity segment and he "[m]ight as well have been [Keith] Olbermann on MSNBC." Malkin later wrote that "Rove came across as an effete sore loser instead of the supposedly brilliant and grounded GOP strategist that he's supposed to be." Malkin, citing The Freedomist blog [2], also wrote that "Rove had met with Delaware 9/12-ers and Tea Party folks to try and convince them to back the 'more electable' candidate."
Warner Todd Huston: "The Veracity of Karl Rove's Political Analysis is Suddenly Suspect." In a September 14 Gateway Pundit post [3] titled, "The Veracity of Karl Rove's Political Analysis is Suddenly Suspect," Huston cited the Freedomist post and wrote: "Rove is certainly entitled to his opinion and if he truly believes that O'Donnell cannot win in the general, then he should feel free to say so and we should accept it as such. But in this case we have a problem believing that Rove's analysis is simply his honest opinion when we find out from The Freedomist [2] that Rove was trying to cut a pre-primary deal to help Mike Castle to win the primary." Huston further wrote that "Fox News should require Rove to answer to this charge":
Fox News should require Rove to answer to this charge. If he really did act as a helpmate for Rep. Mike Castle this damages Rove's veracity as an analyst. He has just made himself suspect. You can't be both a political player and an autonomous, disinterested analyst. Will Fox suspend Rove over this? They certainly should if he really did work to help Castle, in any case.
Dan Riehl: "Fox Should Suspend Rove And Investigate." In a September 14 post [4] on his blog, Dan Riehl called Rove's comments "disgraceful" and also cited the Freedomist post to claim that "Fox should suspend him and investigate" and that "it seems impossible to trust Rove as an objective analyst." From Riehl's post:
Michelle Malkin has a very solid reaction to Karl Rove's disgraceful behavior [1] on Fox News tonight. That is not why Fox should suspend him and investigate. According to this report [2], Rove was working behind the scenes on behalf of the Castle campaign to negotiate a deal that would have led to some Delaware Tea Party groups not supporting Christine O'Donnell, while giving Mike Castle a pass.
Especially given his comments on Fox News tonight, until this is resolved, it seems impossible to trust Rove as an objective analyst. In terms of the conservative movement, we should not simply ignore him, but proactively work to undermine Rove in whatever ways we can, given his obvious willingness to undermine us.
Erickson: Rove "in full on meltdown" on Fox News. In a September 15 RedState post [5], Erick Erickson wrote: "It is a delightful morning. The National Republican Senatorial Committee and the GOP Establishment, including Karl Rove in full on meltdown last night on Fox News, has been beaten yet again in Delaware by the supposedly crazy girl from the fringe who could not possibly take out the 12 time elected Republican Mike Castle."
Levin says he will discuss Rove's "war against the Tea Party movement and conservatives." In a September 15 Twitter post [6], right-wing radio host Mark Levin stated he would discuss Rove's "war against the Tea Party movement and conservatives":
Buchanan: Rove "trashing" O'Donnell is a "horrible mistake." On the September 15 edition [7] of MSNBC's Morning Joe, Pat Buchanan stated: "This is going to be a crucial test of how the Republican Party handles the tea party. And what we heard Karl Rove say, really trashing this woman, is a horrible mistake."
NewsBusters: "[P]essimisitc" Rove "continued to rip" O'Donnell. In a September 14 post [8], NewsBusters' Mark Finkelstein wrote: "Even after Fox News called the Delaware GOP senatorial primary for Christine O'Donnell tonight, Karl Rove continued to rip the winner, questioning everything from O'Donnell's 'rectitude' to her 'character.' " Finkelstein further wrote that Hannity "defended O'Donnell staunchly, but was met with a litany of Roveian criticism."

A Manifesto For Creativity In The Modern Era
from the join-in deptMultiple people have passed along this fantastic manifesto of modern creativity that was put together by five curators of an exhibition for Les Rencontres Arles Photographie called "From Here On."
One friend noted just how inspiring that graphic alone was, but reading the more detailed manifesto is worthwhile as well. It talks about just how much the internet and digital technologies have changes our lives, and changed the way art and creativity works -- in undoubtedly positive ways. Here's just a snippet of the larger piece:
The growth of the Internet and the proliferation of sites for searching out and/or sharing images online—Flickr, Photobucket, Facebook, Google Images, eBay, to name only the best-known—now mean a plethora of visual resources that was inconceivable as little as ten years ago: a phenomenon comparable to the advent of running water and gas in big cities in the nineteenth century. We all know just how thoroughly those amenities altered people's way of life in terms of everyday comfort and hygiene—and now, right in our own homes, we have an image-tap that's refashioning our visual habits just as radically. In the course of art history, periods when image accessibility has been boosted by technological innovation have always been rich in major visual advances: improved photomechanical printing techniques and the subsequent press boom of the 1910s-1920s, for instance, paved the way for photomontage. Similar upheavals in the art field accompanied the rise of engraving as a popular medium in the nineteenth century, the arrival of TV in the 1950s—and the coming of the Internet today.What I love most about this is how inclusive it is, and how much of it is about recognizing and embracing what an amazingly creative time this is for artists. All too often, we hear of artists who decry such things, who complain about the fact that their club doesn't feel as exclusive any more. For artists and an art exhibit to not just embrace, but joyfully celebrate the way creativity works today, while recognizing how these tools mean that anyone and everyone are creating art all the time, is really wonderful to see.
Digital appropriationism
Across-the-board appropriation on the one hand plus hyper-accessibility of images on the other: a pairing that would prove particularly fertile and stimulating for the art field. Beginning with the first years of the new millennium—Google Images launched in 2001, Google Maps in 2004 and Flickr the same year—artists jumped at the new technologies, and since then more and more of them have been taking advantage of the wealth of opportunities offered by the Internet. Gleefully appropriating their online finds, they edit, adapt, displace, add and subtract. What artists used to look for in nature, in urban flaneries, in leafing through magazines and rummaging in flea markets, they now find on the Internet, that new wellspring of the vernacular and inexhaustible fount of ideas and wonders.

Small framed Maori manaia carving. Contemporary Maori art.
Te Manaia
The manaia is a spiritual guardian.
Contemporary Maori art, Maori design, crafted from plantation grown gaboon using laser technology. This piece of art boasts super fine detail, paua inlay and is mounted on an earth toned background inside a custom glass covered shadow box frame. Each piece is individually signed by our Maori artist Mike Carlton and comes complete with wall mount and related story to back.
During life this guardian is a protector from evil and untimely accident. At death the guardian guides the spirit of the departed person safely to a spiritual doorway where it is re-united with the ancestors from the ancient homeland of Hawaiki.
Te Manaia (the manaia) are usually depicted in side profile, symbolising their role as messengers (ie. part in the spirit world and part in the earthly world).
They normally have the had of a bird (sky) the body of a man (earth) and the tail of a fish (sea) symbolic of the balance they have between the realms.
The three fingers and toes have varied tribal meanings. To some they represent birth, life and death. to others they represent the three baskets of knowledge and yet to others faith, hope and love.
Sometimes Te Manaia is depicted with a fourth finger, symbolising the afterlife.

Discussion in 'General Gun Discussions' started by full metal, Jun 23, 2007.
^ Nice Single Actions
RIA G.I. in 45acp and replaced the stock grips with Kimbers in walnut.
Marlin 39A Golden, mfg'd circa 1966........ same year I was born. Its a lot smoother than I am. LOL
Thanks, I am not sure why my last purchases have been replicas of 19th century tech. I am not a Cowboy Action shooter, though I am 'parently set up to do so. I have the pictured Thunderer, a Model P 5.5", also in .45 Colt, and a Rossi '92 in the aforementioned .45. I believe my coach gun would be disqualified, as it is 20 ga instead of 12.. I did have an Uberti in .357, but gave it to my pops for Xmas. On the more modern side, I do have ye olde M1 Garand, paired with a Colt's Government, 2011 manufacture, but still. On the even more modern, S&W M&P 15T, and a Glock 19. One day I will attempt to take some photos with period approximate accessories. Done ramblin', gonna try and get some sleep. Thanks again.
The top gun is a DPMS Tac-20 in .308 that I picked up the other day. The bottom gun is a Glock compact .45. Hopefully going to shoot the DPMS for the first time tomorrow.
Didn't buy it but I just traded a Glock 27 for a Glock 23.
XDm 4.5" 9MM. Shot it today.
No pics yet.
I then painted it camo.
Ordered an M1 Garand a couple of weeks ago. I've always wanted one but couldn't justify the purchase. Well, in this environment, I'm afraid CMP will get shut down, so I figured now or never. Can't wait to get it.
I ordered both Greek and Hornady ammo. Any opinions on them? Why were the Greeks making M1 ammo anyway?
The Greeks, as well as other US Allies such as South Korea, Israel, and various Latin American countries and other European countries such as Great Britain. All were provided M1 Garands through a Lend-Lease agreement. Most of these countries made their own ammunition and EnBlock loading clips for the rifles as well as several other parts. That is why it is not at all unusual to find assorted foreign head stamps in M1 Garand loading clips that were imported from a variety of countries.
Depending on the age of the ammunition, who made it and how it was stored it can be a good deal for Garand shooters. Keep in mind that not all 30-06 ammunition is suitable for use in an M1 Garand so ask questions here in the forums and ask questions of the CMP, especially if you ever choose to start loading ammunition for the M1 Garand.
Enjoy your new rifle.
Hell, in keeping with this thread I looked at a M1 Garand today and came home with a nice S&W 586 which is a far cry from a M1 Garand.
1955 Chinese Type 53 (Chinese made Mosin M44).
Amazing rifle. Shoots 1" right at 100 yards with irons, consistently.
Kicks like a rifle should.
Today. 2 guns
Gun #1 is a Glock 20
Gun #2 is a 30-40 Krag
I'm so Happy, So Happy, Oh so very happy.
Found this at a local gun show this weekend for cheap. Yeah, I thought that was strange too. Just couldn't resist. Smith and Wesson 10-5.
Kentucky Longrifle.
last gun purchased
Colt Ar-15
Henry Big Boy .44 mag
Last gun purchased.
Ruger Ranch Rifle, SS, 6.8 Rem SPC
Ruger Speed Six 3" .357 stainless; had to paint the front site with my daughter's bright orange nail polish - not much aftermarket sights for this revolver (and anything that could be tapped/drilled to fit seems to have a very high profile). Love it - shoots great and will be my hunting sidearm (replacing a Glock 30 in that role).
M54 Anschutz in 22 LR.
Atkinson barrel. Atkinson is gone but his barrels are still shooting.
30-30 Marlin 336C, before Rem took over.
We got a shipment of Sig rifles in our shop the other day and one of them was a Sig 556 Patrol so I set it aside for myself. The other Sig rifles were M400's and a 716 and they went out on the rack and were gone in matter of hours. We sold them all at pre-panic normal pricing because we don't price gouge at our shop, so I got this baby for $1,088 plus tax! Of course I didn't get my employee discount but I'm not complaining considering these are selling for about twice that on gunbroker!
Solid used Ruger GP100 (6" bbl) with 100 rds of .357HP and holster for $500. Always wanted a .357 and this one kind of fell in my lap.
Ouch! That must have hurt...
Bought a NIB Sig 226 X6. I pick it up Saturday; I. Can. Hardly. Wait.
M1 Garand October 1944 Winchester, March 1955 SA barrel, CMP replacement stock. She loves to dance!

Hey, I've been working creating the map files for a few of our maps, I'm going to continue posting as I go but thought it'd be good to have the ones I have up so that if people feel like helping out they can know what's done/being done.
So far all I have complete is Sunset Village but Neo Bay is more than halfway done as well.
So I've attached Sunset Village.
A couple of notes:
1. I've reached a bit of a roadblock with Neo Bay. I can't get the autotile to leave sand under the cliffs like that, it either reaches out an entire tile over or isn't visible. Anyone know what to do?
2. Use the below complete outdoor tileset by Fangking Omega instead of Quinn's. Quinn's has some major misalignment issues and is unusable at a certain point. Until we can get someone to fix this we'll have to just stick to Fangking's.

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's campaign announced Thursday that it raised more than $2.1 million since its official launch in November. The popular Republican, who battled for unsuccessful presidential candidate Mitt Romney in 2012, has been vocal this week in condemning House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio) and other members of Congress for having tabled legislation that would have provided funding for Hurricane Sandy victims, including those who live in his state. "Governor Christie's campaign continues to gain momentum because New Jerseyans believe in his decisive leadership," said campaign strategist Mike DuHaime. Christie's campaign likely got a boost of confidence in December when Newark, N.J., Mayor Cory Booker announced his intentions to explore a run for U.S. Senate instead of vying for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination. Christie, often mentioned as a potential candidate for president, filed papers in November for a second term as New Jersey governor. The campaign said that Christie's $2.1 million came in 36 days without the governor having attended a single fundraising event. -- Written by Joe Deaux in New York. >Contact by Email.

Tales of Musical Midsummers Past
"…Swift as a shadow, short as any dream; brief as the lightning in the collied night…" (I.i)
Closing weekend descends upon us, and we are stunned that we are preparing to sing our last "So Happy Together!" Even though this production has moved swiftly though performance phase, we are so thrilled to have pulled off our Shakespearean musical motif with flair and sh'boom. But before we start patting ourselves on our own creative backs, we thought it might be a good idea to take a journey down a Shakespeare-inspired lane. Maybe these previous concoctions of Midsummer and music need a nod from our 60s set list as well.
Shakespeare penned MND in the 1590s and included some fairy lyrics for his flighty characters. But how long would it be before the idea of a full-fledged musical would enter the picture?
Meet Henry Purcell and his 1692 semi-opera, The Fairy Queen, which kept most of Bill's original text but infused the play with masques to illuminate its themes of love and marriage, including one featuring the Greek goddess Hymen. Shockingly, it was widely misunderstood by Restoration Era audiences.
Unshockingly, David Garrick also had to have his operatic Midsummer say. His opera, entitled The Fairies, premiered in 1755 and featured only the storylines of the forest (sorry, Mechanicals!). All singing, all the time, there were 28 added airs, duets, and choruses in addition to the recitatively-crooned dialogue. Reception was mixed, but a publication called The Tuner deemed it "a laudable attempt to encourage native musical Productions." (Future musical productions thank you for the vote of confidence!)
Moving forward…some midsummer trivia! Did you know that Felix Mendelssohn's famous "Wedding March" was written in 1842 as incidental music for a German production of A Midsummer Night's Dream? Writing the music to accompany this play actually spanned the composer's entire lifetime, as he was 17 years old when he penned the overture and then completed the score a few years before his death.
Over the years, Mendelssohn's music has also been choreographed into ballet by masters like Marius Petipa, George Balanchine, and Frederick Ashton.
Of course, in modern times, there have been a slew of looser adaptations which have woven music through the storyline of this play. Recently, the off-Broadway hit, The Donkey Show, featured the basic storyline set to 70s-era disco music, dance club style.
Which brings us to our own little corner of the Shakespearean musical anthology – an intermingling of nostalgia and poetry that has been tugging heartstrings and garnering smiles of familiarity since our opening two weekends ago. And it's no wonder – when the cast sings about fairy tale love on summer nights in between their soliloquies and witty banter, the flow is so seamless, it's hard to believe that infusing Midsummer with music isn't what Shakespeare had intended all along. After all, wasn't he the first to point out that "life could be a dream"? — T.T.

Former "American Idol" star Jennifer Hudson has urged show producers to quit while they're ahead and end the TV singing contest before the ratings drop.
The Oscar-winner fears the series that helped make her a star has run its course and she doesn't think new judges Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban will save it from a popularity slide.
She says, "Everything has its time. I think it should just allow itself to go out on top … and gracefully.
"'American Idol' changed the face of television … not everyone can say that. And, it's always been a phenomenon. I'm proud to have come from 'American Idol,' so I just say, go out on top."

This post was written for inclusion in the monthly Carnival of Natural Parenting hosted by Hobo Mama and Code Name: Mama. This month our participants have shared how challenging discipline situations can be met with play. Please read to the end to find a list of links to the other carnival participants.
Parenting my child through play came naturally to me. I remember my Mother using games to help us complete our chores. I also learned to use the ol' - I'll time ya! - trick on my younger siblings growing up. I learned quickly that making everyday tasks fun made them not only go by quicker, but made them less painful. It was only natural for me to develop a healthy playful parenting relationship with my own child.
These are a few playful ways I parent E:
I sing a lot around our house. I have a clean up song, a teeth brushing song, a bath song and a face washing song. Hubby thinks I'm crazy, but E loves it and I don't have a child that squirms and shouts when wiping his face off after dinner or pouring water over his head in the bath. Now, at 28 months, E is old enough to know the words and sing along too. Singing about the specific tasks at hand helps distract him from any negative feelings he may have.
We normally walk to the park that is about 10 minutes down the street and E happily skips along, but coming home is always a challenge. I've recently started a red light - stop, and green light - go, game on our walks back to distract him from leaving the park and making the walk home much quicker. He is happy to race me and call the shots and a bonus - he is practicing his colours and rules of the road.
Normally, when I'm making dinner E will happily play around me and will often play with the alphabet fridge magnets. He recently started a habit of throwing them onto the floor and leaving them behind. Instead of scolding or demanding him to pick them up, I offer him a game of who can pick them up the fastest, or picking out the colours or reciting the letters. Taking the time to engage with him in an activity makes the clean-up much fastest than nagging or scolding him into putting them back on the fridge himself.
E is a very sensitive child. We have to be very careful not to over react and to be in tune with his emotions. While some men might say he needs to toughen up, I believe sensitivity is a good thing and it is our duty to help him understand and feel comfortable with these feelings. One thing we practice is talking about our feelings and asking him how something makes him feel. A playful way to help him understand is when we stand in front of the mirror and practice our mad, sad, happy, etc faces and relate them to a situation that happened that day. It's a great way to recap the day and it can get pretty silly!
These are just a few ways I incorporate play into parenting E rather than demanding actions from him. I am comfortable with our playful, mindful and loving relationship.

What do you need help on? Cancel X
Splice is an experimental and artistic puzzler. Immerse yourself in its microbial world and start splicing! Every level ("strand") consists of a number of cells that you will need to rearrange into a target structure in several moves ("splices"). Exploration and experimentation are key in determining how the curious little cells react to each other. Predict the sequence of splices you'll have to make in order to successfully arrange each strand. Re-sequence, mutate, and splice your way through this unique puzzle experience, and you'll exercise your ability to visualize sequential series of shapes over time. Solve your way to the final strands and you'll be left with a heady sense of mental accomplishment!

- The innovative foundation for pressure relief and comfort
- Individual spring elements are firmness adjustable for a customized feel
- An "articulated air-flow surface" adapts to your body shape and movements
- The modular system for any size and shape bed is perfect for Boats, RVs and at Home
- Permanent under-mattress ventilation promotes a recuperative sleeping environment and helps eliminate moisture build-up
How it works
FROLI® interlocking springs play an important role in getting you the restful and revitalizing sleep you need. Made of DuPont's Hytrel®, these highly flexible synthetic elements offer excellent comfort and suspension for an orthopedically correct night's sleep.
The FROLI® foundation forms a level air-flow surface on which to rest the mattress or cushions.
Base elements are clipped together, then the individual spring elements are added on top.
As each spring flexes independently, the effect is one of independent suspension, superior to any traditional mattress/box-spring combination. Plus, the flexible surface, in combination with a good quality foam mattress, helps prevent any uncomfortable pressure points.
All FROLI® Systems include a combination of regular and soft springs and let you customize your comfort even further by varying the spacing distance of the springs.
Tension clips may be added to selectively increase the firmness of individual springs, for example, to provide additional lower back support.
Your body will be supported extremely comfortably and allowed to rest in an orthopedically correct position.

Nokia has released an update to its Contact Share app, which is exclusively available from the Nokia Collection for Lumia Windows Phones. The app enables consumers to send and receive contacts. Email and SMS was previously supported, but the latest update implements Bluetooth capabilities for smartphones running Windows Phone 7.8.
We last looked at the exclusive app back when it was released in July last year. What's great about Contacts Share is that it sends contact files in vCard format, which is supported by a wide selection of mobile devices, including Symbian, Android, iOS and BlackBerry. The added Bluetooth support is all we've noticed, so be sure to add anything you've found in the latest update in a comment below.
Do note that sharing profile photos is only possible via email or Bluetooth. You can download Contacts Share from the Nokia Collection on the Windows Phone Store. Thanks to everyone who tipped us!
