I do not know Kevin that well. I gotta say that this is one of the more thoughtful statements that I read (and I read them all) of all the people running for the PDGA Board of Directors. It seems like he has some fresh ideas for disc golf. I liked what he had to say and will definitely vote for him - not because he is local, but more so he articulated some real goals and ideas for reaching them. Good luck Kevin.
Kevin McCoy, #9453
Professional Experience:
9 years as a Circuit Engineer/Provisioner with Verizon, AT&T, Level3, & MCI Worldcom
Disc Golf Experience:
18 years (16 years PDGA member), 5 years full-time Touring Pro, 92 PDGA Professional Wins, 4 World
Doubles Championships. 2006 PDGA AM Worlds TD, Oklahoma State Coordinator 2002-2007.
My Mission is to increase the memberships of the PDGA. My goal is that the PDGA have at least 50,000 annual
memberships, not total memberships. By lowering the membership fee to a more practical price that is
somewhat equal to what the members actually receive in return and to add more benefits to entice more people
to become members. One of which I strongly believe in is to organize PDGA Sanctioned League Play. The
weekend tournament play is not for everyone and the PDGA is missing out on most of the recreational weekday
players. Take softball for example, is the American Softball Association solely featuring their attention to
weekend tournament play? No actually most of its participants play weekly recreational league play and that is
where I believe most of the disc golfers fit in. When we organize these leagues it will feature ratings and weekly
points scoring structures. PDGA league play will dramatically increase members and revenue for the association
and it is time for it to happen.
I want to build a stronger tour and I don't mean throwing cash blindly into event purses. I'm actually speaking of
the creating featured events that can be more of a festival like environment. The current tournament structure is
only good for the top players and it has heavily increased the players that give up the sport because there is no
reward for them if they are a middle level player. If the player was provided a festival atmosphere they would at
least consider they had a great time instead of feeling like they just donated their entry fee to the top players.
I am also interested in the position because the division structure of tournaments needs to be fixed. I'm for
eliminating the 30+ different divisions you can play. Age protected divisions are fine but the different levels of
Amateur creates a sandbagging element and I know how it can be eliminated. First of all, I think amateurs
should get paid up front with strong players packs. Paying amateurs out in merchandise at the end of the event
actually promotes sandbagging which also drives the lower tier players away from coming back regularly. I
believe in a flight payout system similar to what most of your local recreational golf tournaments are played.
I would also like to incorporate the Advanced divisions along side with the Pro divisions, not competing against
the pro's but to have them competing within the pro's but only competing against other Advanced players. This
will enable them to get the experience they may need to make the step to the next level. I think that the
Advanced divisions should be sort of like the minor leagues, where players have a chance to get better. Take for
example the PGA where Amateurs play along side if the pro's and they still reward the top Amateur players at
their event. I really feel like the Advanced divisions are the level that the PDGA should focus more time and
energy because they are the next players in line and we should work with them more than we do.
I am very concerned with the direction the association is going and I would like to be part of the board to ensure
the association is headed in the right direction of growth. My wife has been a PDGA member since 1997 and I
have been a member since 1994 and we have been hearing "wait 5 years this game is going to explode." Well I
have been waiting 5 years for some time and it's time I get back involved to help that explosion finally happen.
In closing I want to mention that I was the Oklahoma State Coordinator from 2002-2007 and in that time we
went from a state with very limited numbers of members and events, all the way to hosting the 2006 Am Worlds,
2 National Tour Events and several other prominent events that ended up marking Oklahoma on the map as a
great place for disc golf. I have played in 3 countries and over 40 US states so I have a broad range of what
does and does not work in the entire disc golf community.
Vote for me and let's make it happen.

We've been passed along the sad news from record producer Ronny Light that Brenton Banks, a former Nashville session player and jazz musician, passed away on January 2.
Before moving to Los Angeles in the 1970s, Banks was a member of the Local 257 Nashville Musicians Association, and played violin, viola and other instruments on dozens of famous recordings. His strings are heard on records by Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Patsy Cline, Roy Orbison and Waylon Jennings to name just a few. (A longer list is available at All Music Guide.)
Light said in an e-mail that in addition to being one of a few African-Americans who were active in the Nashville session scene in the '50s and '60s, Banks was "the man you called to put a string session together."
An accomplished jazz musician, Banks also played on The Nashville All-Stars classic album After the Riot at Newport, and led the Brenton Banks Quartet, which the Tennessean called "one of Nashville's top jazz groups" back in 1959.
Nashville String Machine contractor Carl Gorodetzky, who worked with Banks for eight years, also sent his thoughts on Banks' passing.
"He was always wonderful to work with, he had a wonderful grasp of the music we played," Gorodetzky said. "Brenton did a lot of string contracting and advanced the use of strings in Nashville. . . . He will be missed."
EDIT: An earlier version of this post quoted Light as saying that Shelly Kurland founded the Nashville String Machine. Gorodetzky says that Kurland "had nothing to do with NSM. I started the Nashville String Machine in 1980 and have led it ever since."

I'm also unsure of where "formal" ends and "non-formal" begins. It seems that there is always some kind of methodology involved.

Dec. 20, 2010 -- Sunless tanning sprays and products are often promoted as ways to look tanned while avoiding the dangers of ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun and indoor tanning beds, but a new study shows that sunless tanners are actually more likely to frequent indoor tanning salons.
"Our finding suggests that, instead of substitution, women and men use both means to obtain a tan-looking appearance," conclude researchers, who were led byKelvin Choi, PhD, of the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.
The new report, which appears in the December issue of Archives of Dermatology, also showed that women are more likely than men to use indoor tanning facilities and that many people are not aware that avoiding tanning beds can decrease their risk for skin cancer.
Even in an economic downturn, the indoor tanning industry appears to be booming. It has generated more than $5 billion in yearly revenues and attracts more than 30 million tanners each year, according to information cited in the new study. A 10% tax on indoor tanning went into effect on July 1, 2010.
Spray Tanners Also Use Tanning Beds
Choi and colleagues analyzed data from a 2005 study of 2,869 people aged 18 to 64. Study participants answered questions about their lifestyles and indoor tanning habits. In the study, 18.1% of women and 6.3% of men said they went to an indoor tanning facility during the previous year. Female indoor tanners were more likely to live in the Midwest or South and use sunless, spray tanning products. Women who were less likely to use indoor tanning beds were older, less educated, earned less, and were more likely to use sunscreen, the study showed.
Among men, those who were older and obese were less likely to visit tanning salons. By contrast, men who used spray tanning products and lived in cities were more likely to go indoor tanning, the study showed.
"The reality is that sunless tanners want to look tan whether with sunless tanning products, indoor tanning, or on the beach," says Mathew M. Avram, MD, a dermatologist at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
One of the reasons that indoor tanning salons have held their own during the recession may be that they are an inexpensive alternative to a time-share in the Hamptons or a winter getaway in St. Barts, he says.
"People really care about how they look, and they think that being tan makes them look good," he says.
Message About Indoor Tanning and Skin Cancer Is Not Getting Through
In a subset of 821 people who were asked what they knew about skin cancer prevention, just 13.3% of women and 4.2% of men said that avoiding tanning beds was one of the ways to stave off skin cancer. Participants did commonly acknowledge that using sunscreen, avoiding the sun, and wearing a hat were preventive measures.
The message that indoor tanning increases risk of skin cancer is getting lost, the study authors write.
As to why, they write, "perhaps people are confused by the messages from the indoor tanning industry on possible benefits of indoor tanning, e.g. getting vitamin D from moderate exposure to artificial UV radiation." Vitamin D is known as the sunshine vitamin because our bodies produce it when exposed to sunlight.
Going forward, "strategies such as clinician-patient communication and media campaigns that focus on strategically disseminating the harms of indoor tanning to the adult population may be needed to reduce the prevalence of indoor tanning among adults in the United States," they conclude.
Heidi Waldorf, MD, director of dermatologic laser surgery at Mt. Sinai Medical Center in New York City, says "we have obviously been getting the message across about sun protection and the sun being a major cause of skin cancer and premature aging, but not indoor tanning."
What will it take to really hammer home the message?
"It is going to take one of these younger women who has been tanning to come forward and say they have skin cancer," Waldorf says.
Unless and until that occurs, word of mouth helps, she says.
"We have to keep chipping away and educate people, and every time we educate one person, they tell two people and then they tell two people," she says.
Like Mother, Like Daughter
In a related letter in the same journal, Mary Kate Baker, MPH, of East Tennessee State University in Johnson City, Tenn., writes that many female tanners went tanning for the first time with their mothers.
Of those who went tanning with their mom for the first time, 81% still went tanning and 31.9% were heavy tanners, which is defined in this study as tanning more than 25 times per year.
People who tanned with their mother for the first time were nearly five times as likely to be heavy, current tanners as people who went tanning by themselves or with someone other than their mother for the first time.
"Interventions directed at mothers before the child initiates tanning have the potential to lead to reduced tanning in the mother and reduced tanning initiation and frequency in the child," the authors conclude.
Industry Responds
John Overstreet, the executive director of the Washington, D.C.,-based Indoor Tanning Association, an industry trade group, says the jury is still out on any potential hazards associated with indoor tanning.
"Individuals and groups who argue against exposure to UV light and/or sunbeds use would have the public believe there is scientific consensus about the risks," he tells WebMD. "This is absolutely false."
There are many benefits to exposure to UV light, whether from the sun or a sunbed, he says.
"There are risks and benefits to tanning outdoors and indoors, but in moderation and based on skin type and predisposed risk factors, people can make a judgment for themselves."

SVSU PSA teachers created a themed pacing guide for those who want to teach the four content areas in a concentrated way. There is a thematic overview that combines ELA, science, mathematics, and social studies GLCEs into one document.
Each content area has its own pacing guide that is linked to the thematic overview.
Essential questions, assessments, and resource ideas are linked to the original theme, organized by units.
The original pacing guides for math, ELA, science, and social studies that are NOT linked thematically are still available below.
Michigan Educational Technology Standards PK-2 (METS) (133kB) October 2009
The Visual Arts curriculum is formed around four levels of instruction instead of each grade. The decision to use levels of instruction for the curriculum was based on the realities and constraints that teachers face in this curriculum area. These include variable amounts of time allotted to students for Visual Arts, inconsistent time at different schools (or even levels within a school), and numbers of faculty to teach, etc. As an example, some schools might only have classes at the Middle or High School level. In this case, a teacher might start with Level One or Two, since this may be the students' first exposure to a Visual Arts class.
The coding system used in these Assessments and Activities documents correlates to the Michigan Standards in the document titled Standards, Benchmarks, and Content Expectations for Visual Arts, Music, Dance, and Theater. The codes are as follows:
"C" = Create in Strand I. Strand I has five benchmarks: 1. Problem Seeking, 2. Exploring, 3. Analytical Choices, 4. Application Choices, and 5. Aesthetic Choices.
"P" = Perform in Strand II. Strand II has four benchmarks: 1. Techniques, 2. Elements, 3. Principles, and 4. Intellectual Methods.
"R" = Respond in Strand III. Strand III has four benchmarks: 1. Observe, 2. Describe, 3. Reflect, and 4. Analyze.
The overarching code is called the VPAA (Visual, Performing, and Applied Arts).

It was one of the most emotional moments in hockey history - after 20 years of thrilling crowds, setting records and winning cups, The Great One decided it was time to move on. In the pre-game ceremony, with friends and colleagues from throughout his career on hand, and a packed house at Madison Square Garden applauding as one, Wayne Gretzky gave his next-to-final salute to the fans while in uniform. With flashbulbs going off, and a deafening roar from the crowd...SNAP! The moment is preserved for all-time, and is now avaialble for your wall.
As with all posters in the Everlasting Images series, every detail is in focus, and as you pan across the print you feel like you are actually there! From the expression on the fans' faces, to the championship banners in the rafters, to Wayne at center ice, waving to the crowd, it's all there - a work of art, worthy of a nice frame and a prominent space on your wall! An absolute must for the wall of any Gretzky collector or fan, and a perfect gift for the fan who has everything.

Received: Tue, 2 Jun 1998
Thank you so much for the very prompt delivery of my recent order. I ordered some plants through another nursery a week before ordering through Richters.
Your shipment arrived well ahead of the other nursery. Plus you can't beat the quality of the plants that I have received from you. I will not buy from any other nursery from now on. Thanks again for the pleasure of doing business with you.

The Ironman Austria with its beautiful setting and perfect triathlon landscape attracts over 2000 athletes out of 50 nations every year. The Wörthersee with its crystal clear water offers optimal swimming conditions, the biking leads through the heart of Carinthia. The run course is totally flat.
Main technical sponsor for swimming-HEAD
Klagenfurt, Austria | Sunday, June 30, 2013 | 3,8 km swim / 180 km bike / 42,1 km run.
The start of the first discipline of Kärnten IRONMAN Austria takes place in Strandbad Klagenfurt, the biggest lakeside resort in Europe. On a nice summer day the beach bath resort is visited by up to 15.000 guests.
2013 we will start the race with two groups: The first group will be our pros and 400 age group athletes (start: 6:45 a.m.), the main group (start: 7:00 a.m.) will stay at 2400 athletes. More details >>
The water temperature of the Wörthersees amounts in July, on an average 25 °C, carrying of wetsuits is permitted to the participants (will be announced at the race briefing)
After the start the distance leads 1500ms straight ahead in the lake, is swum afterwards to the left in the direction of beach bath Maiernigg. The short running passage has been removed because the first buoy has been shifted from 800m to 1500m.
The last 900m lead into the Lendkanal. The mood is unique here, because just a few meters seperate spectators and swimmers.

Pandora Medium Dry 13 Shawsgate 6/75(6x75cl)
This light spritzy wine is full of ripe fruit whose complexities are subtly disguised by an elegant palate of light melon, orange, pineapple and grapefruit. The palate has a good strength of tropical fruit flavours beneath a soft rounded acidity, with lingering grapefruit to give length.
Bacchus 13 Shawsgate 6/75(6x75cl)
An attractive young wine of a delicate gold colour with a touch of spritz. The bouquet brims with light elderflower, citrus and honeyed tropical fruits and is supported with a well balanced and satisfying middle palate. The gentle acidity and good fruit flavours, particularly grapefruit, help to provide a sustained length and finish.
Rose 13 Shawsgate 6/75(6x75cl)
A young vibrant rose wine with an attractive rich strawberry hue, bags of berry fruit aromas and a delicious palate. A crisp acidity is well matched by the natural sweetness, with redcurrant and raspberry flavours to finish.

Saying goodbye to the source of life
The oceans have given us so much and we keep on taking and taking and taking and polluting and trashing.... well, it's getting close to the time when we say goodbye. At this point, if humans want to survive in the future, they'll have to figure out how to live without one of the most important parts of the cycle of life, the ocean.
nytimes.com - IT'S past time to tell the truth about the state of the world's coral reefs, the nurseries of tropical coastal fish stocks. They have become zombie ecosystems, neither dead nor truly alive in any functional sense, and on a trajectory to collapse within a human generation. There will be remnants here and there, but the global coral reef ecosystem — with its storehouse of biodiversity and fisheries supporting millions of the world's poor — will cease to be.
Overfishing, ocean acidification and pollution are pushing coral reefs into oblivion. Each of those forces alone is fully capable of causing the global collapse of coral reefs; together, they assure it. The scientific evidence for this is compelling and unequivocal, but there seems to be a collective reluctance to accept the logical conclusion — that there is no hope of saving the global coral reef ecosystem.
What we hear instead is an airbrushed view of the crisis — a view endorsed by coral reef scientists, amplified by environmentalists and accepted by governments. Coral reefs, like rain forests, are a symbol of biodiversity. And, like rain forests, they are portrayed as existentially threatened — but salvageable. The message is: "There is yet hope."
Indeed, this view is echoed in the "consensus statement" of the just-concluded International Coral Reef Symposium, which called "on all governments to ensure the future of coral reefs." It was signed by more than 2,000 scientists, officials and conservationists.
This is less a conspiracy than a sort of institutional inertia. Governments don't want to be blamed for disasters on their watch, conservationists apparently value hope over truth, and scientists often don't see the reefs for the corals.
But by persisting in the false belief that coral reefs have a future, we grossly misallocate the funds needed to cope with the fallout from their collapse. Money isn't spent to study what to do after the reefs are gone — on what sort of ecosystems will replace coral reefs and what opportunities there will be to nudge these into providing people with food and other useful ecosystem products and services. Nor is money spent to preserve some of the genetic resources of coral reefs by transferring them into systems that are not coral reefs. And money isn't spent to make the economic structural adjustment that communities and industries that depend on coral reefs urgently need. We have focused too much on the state of the reefs rather than the rate of the processes killing them.
Overfishing, ocean acidification and pollution have two features in common. First, they are accelerating. They are growing broadly in line with global economic growth, so they can double in size every couple of decades. Second, they have extreme inertia — there is no real prospect of changing their trajectories in less than 20 to 50 years. In short, these forces are unstoppable and irreversible. And it is these two features — acceleration and inertia — that have blindsided us.

Re: Saying goodbye to the source of life
So long, it was nice while it lasted.
guardian.co.uk - Caribbean coral reefs – which make up one of the world's most colourful, vivid and productive ecosystems – are on the verge of collapse, with less than 10% of the reef area showing live coral cover.
With so little growth left, the reefs are in danger of utter devastation unless urgent action is taken, conservationists warned. They said the drastic loss was the result of severe environmental problems, including over-exploitation, pollution from agricultural run-off and other sources, and climate change.
The decline of the reefs has been rapid: in the 1970s, more than 50% showed live coral cover, compared with 8% in the newly completed survey. The scientists who carried it out warned there was no sign of the rate of coral death slowing.
Coral reefs are a particularly valuable part of the marine ecosystem because they act as nurseries for younger fish, providing food sources and protection from predators until the fish have grown large enough to fend better for themselves. They are also a source of revenue from tourism and leisure.
Carl Gustaf Lundin, director of the global marine and polar programme at the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), which published the research, said: "The major causes of coral decline are well known and include overfishing, pollution, disease and bleaching caused by rising temperatures resulting from the burning of fossil fuels. Looking forward, there is an urgent need to immediately and drastically reduce all human impacts [in the area] if coral reefs and the vitally important fisheries that depend on them are to survive in the decades to come."
Warnings over the poor state of the world's coral reefs have become more frequent in the past decades as pollution, increasing pressure on fish stocks, and the effects of global warming on the marine environment – in the form of higher sea temperatures and slightly elevated levels of acidity in the ocean – have taken their toll.
Last year, scientists estimated that 75% of the Caribbean's coral reefs were in danger, along with 95% of those in south-east Asia. That research, from the World Resources Institute, predicted that by 2050 virtually all of the world's coral reefs would be in danger.
This decline is likely to have severe impacts on coastal villages, particularly in developing countries, where many people depend on the reefs for fishing and tourism. Globally, about 275 million people live within 19 miles of a reef.
IUCN, which is holding its quadrennial World Conservation Congress on Jeju island in South Korea this week, said swift action was vital. The organisation called for catch quotas to limit fishing, more marine-protected areas where fishing would be banned, and measures that would halt the run-off of fertilisers from farmland around the coast. To save reefs around the world, moves to stave off global warming would also be needed, the group said.
On a few of the more remote Caribbean reefs, the situation is less dire. In the Netherlands Antilles, Cayman Islands and a few other places, the die-off has been slower, with up to 30% coverage of live coral still remaining. The scientists noted that these reefs were in areas less exposed to human impact from fishing and pollution, as well as to natural disasters such as hurricanes.

Hello all, noob here
hope the holidays treated you all well, and if not hope yas enjoyed the day off
I read JCB's thread on wiring and it answered a bunch of question, thanks!
I just got me a MM180 as well and it came with a bernard gun (don't know anything about guns but I know that gun ain't OEM) hope its a good one.
moving right along,
my question is this, my welder will be about 100 feet from the breaker box. thats what I have to bridge, a hunerd feet to place my outlet at the garage.
I have the outlet and dual 30 amp breakers. but the the hunerd or so feet of cable is where I go blank.
A 125ft roll of 6-3 outside cable, goes for 2 hunerd!! but I have here a bout 150 ft of 8-3 600volt outside cable.
now as murphys law will dictate, I'm probly sitting on a lot of worthless copper aren't I?
Or can I use the 8-3 cable for that space tweenst my box and garage?
thanks in advance for you'r advice gents.

Yep, you're good to go. Good luck.
The skinny........................
The 8-3 cable you have is easily good for 40 amps and the 30 amp DP breaker will protect it nicely. It is acceptable to run it in conduit, but oversize the pipe to make pulling the 8-3 easier.
Good luck.Triggerman

"A professional knows what to do. A craftsman knows why."
thank you for the responses fellas I have a railing to put up on my front steps. yep only 2 steps and a raiser and home owners insurance demanded I put up a railing.
asked around various shops and the cheapest quote I got was 479 bucks for the job.
I then told the missus well gotta be done hon give it up!!! give the dough sweetie.
upon receipt of said funds from the home manager I went and got me the MM180 from my job.
used to stick weld many moons ago, 30 years or so. but as of lately things have come up on which I could use a good welder.
I can run a fine bead but its getting used to the 180 and all the controls that will take some time.I'm using the 75/25 argon/co2 mixture, for the solid core wire.
I fly Remote control helicopters and can't wait to start experimenting on aluminum for the frames and landing skids.
for now tho, floor pans on my 66 chevelle take 1st priority.
he he kinna glad the Insurance co dropped by and decided we needed a railing
Very glad I checked out miller's website as well, it lead me to this here forums.
I've read a ton of articles here and have learned a lot, awesome!! can't wait to maybe post some pics on some of the work I'll be doing and just hang out here.
thanks again for the present and future help you guys are willing to give.
thanks as well for the good word on that bernard gun.

Ivan Doroschuk had been away from the music industry for so long that when he finally brought his new wave band Men Without Hats back on tour after about a 20-year absence, he discovered a lot of differences.
�The biggest change for me is that the hotel rooms don�t have keys and the numbers aren�t printed on the cards, so I have to keep going down to the front desk to ask what room I�m in,� he said. �Touring again has been a blast, though, and I�m having so much fun being back on stage.�
Some in the music industry were a little surprised when Doroschuk decided to bring Men Without Hats back on tour without bringing the band back together. Instead, the 51-year-old Canadian native hired three young backup musicians in Lou Dawson, James Love and Rachel Ashmore, and hit the road on a successful tour.
�People always ask me why I�m the only guy, but the truth is, I�ve always been the only guy and I consider myself to be the new wave dinosaur, as people have come and gone,� Doroschuk said. �I do all the singing, play the keyboards and the band has been a vehicle for my songwriting. There have been over 30 people in the Men Without Hats tree and I am the one constant.�
The alternative band hit it big in the �80s with the iconic �Safety Dance� and also found success with the single �Pop Goes the World.�
�These songs haven�t gone anywhere in 30 years,� Doroschuk said. �My son found out about Men Without Hats through the Crazy Frog video on the Disney Channel. Others have heard the songs on �The Simpsons,� �Family Guy� and �Glee.� I get a blast every time I hear it appear somewhere.�
That�s why when Doroschuk decided to make a new record in 2012, he wanted to re-create the sound reminiscent of his early hits.
�We went in and wanted to make a record that sounded like it was recorded right after �Safety Dance,� so we got the same gear, the same mikes and same instruments,� he said. �Back then, we were limited by the number of tracks and we would lose sound quality, but that�s not the case nowadays. We pretended we only had 24 tracks, and that approach gave us the sound we were looking for.�
The end result was �Love in the Age of War,� lyrically more personal, yet offering the same synthesizer-influenced tunes that Men Without Hats was best known for.
On Thursday, Doroschuk and the current lineup of Men Without Hats will play at the State Theatre in Falls Church, beginning at 8:30 p.m.
�We�ll be playing all the hits interspersed with songs from the new record,� Doroschuk said. �The new stuff is fitting in seamlessly with the old stuff. We play old and new together and the real diehards who own every record are the only ones who can pick out which is which.�
Between the period of time Men Without Hats broke up in the �90s to their revival last year, Doroschuk mostly was out of the musical limelight.
�I was a stay-at-home dad for about 10 years, completely removed from the music industry,� he said. �I noticed my songs were being referenced in pop culture all the time and all the new music coming out seemed to be very �80s influenced, with synthesizers and stuff like that. The combination of those two things gave me the motivation to get back into it, and once I did, I realized how much I had missed it and how much fun it is.�
Once he started writing again, Doroschuk found the experience of raising his son to be beneficial to his songs.
�One of the things about the new record is that it�s a lot more personal than the other ones had ever been,� he said. �The whole impetus for the content was basically my divorce and the mother of my son, who made me realize that life is too short to be unhappy and you can make a difference in your own life and seep it over to everyone else�s, which is a good thing.�
Being back on stage has reignited his life, and playing with three musicians Doroschuk calls �almost young enough to be my grandkids� keeps him young and adds a new dimension to his music.
�I guess I am wiser as well as being older and I find I�m having a lot more fun with it this time around,� he said. �There�s no pressure and no record company pushing their agenda on me. I already did what I set out to do so I don�t have to prove anything anymore. My songs are out there and I�m having a blast.�
He also doesn�t mind singing �Safety Dance� every night again — something that was gnawing at him long ago.
�The time I took off made my songs fresh for me and I really enjoy playing my back catalogue again,� he said. �The best thing for me is to look out into the crowd and see the smile on people�s faces when they hear the stuff and that�s a real blessing for me.�

Rated 5 out of 5 by ststeacher Glad we bought this! Cleans clothes well. Steam cycle takes long so I only use it for heavily soiled loads. No complaints. June 14, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Nannie You get what you pay for I like my washer. I wish some of the controls were easier to locate and use. The End of Cycle signal is hard to locate and there is no display to reflect the setting. The True Balance Technology (Anti-Vibration System) does not seem to work. This machine vibrates just as much or more than the 10 year old Bosch machine it replaced. The filter clean out is a pain!! It takes forever for the water drain completely and water always ends up on the floor. The machine does a good job cleaning the laundry. The load capacity is great. Our King size quilt and shams are now washed at home. Cycles times are long so I do not allow laundry to accumulate for more than 2 or 3 days. I feel the decision to discontinue this machine was a good one. I just wish I had been made aware of that BEFORE I bought it. June 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rach easy to use, clothes are cleaner I had a good washer and dryer but needed to get stackable ones after researching bought LG. I wasn't expecting any difference, boy was I pleasantly surprised. My clothes are cleaner and brighter and come out less wrinkled! Glad we made the change. June 16, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 LG Front Load Washing Machine This product does everything it was advertised to do. We could not be happier with its performance and the proof is that clothes come out cleaner and more fresh than ever before with our previous washing machine. It's energy efficiency is also top notch and surpasses our expectations. Definitely great value for the money. April 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by jm48 Cleans well - water efficient Got this washer as a replacement for a top load hi efficiency that was a lemon. This washer does a great job of cleaning with efficient water usage. Knowing the issues of odor with these machines, I always leave the door ajar and also the detergent door open a bit to allow the water to dry. No troubles so far but only had a month. Ask me in 3 years and I would know more. The depth of this washer allowed me to fit it into a tighter space where as other brands are several inches deeper and would not work in my space. I don't like having to drain water from the filter area every couple of weeks - someone should improve on that design but otherwise I am happy. April 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JOJO901 This product is very energy efficient. This product is very efficient and get clothes clean. I was very surprised at how much less water the cycles needed and still managed to get the clothes clean and fresh. May 14, 2014

Five stars for easy & quick prep. Four stars for flavor. I am a razor clam digger and fan so I was anxious to try this recipe. I have to admit enjoying my recipe better because of additional ingredients. (like celery & thyme and those would be a great addition to this) This was still a very good recipe that takes alot less time to put together than my old recipe. Thanks for sharing!
We have already made this three or four times and it is the best recipe we've found for our Washington razor clams. The combination is the perfect consistency and makes great leftovers.

I also live in Washington state and go razor clamming with family and friends. I did as directed, but also added a little diced celery just because it was in the fridge. This is a great recipe that I will use again. Simple ingredients but big flavor. Thank you.
It is very thick and creamy! We served ours in sourdough bread bowls and it was divine. What a dish. Great flavors. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

Comments On Jun 15, 2015:This throttle tube is pretty good. I have bark busters on my bars so I had to cut the end off. It was an easy job with a simple hack saw. (any saw will do) The tube does its job. I haven't wrecked bad enough to say much about its durability but so far it has stood up to regular riding. Overall I would say I would get it again when the time comes.

As standard, the 911 Carrera models are equipped with enhanced Porsche Stability Management (PSM), which maintains stability even at the limits of dynamic driving performance. Sensors continuously monitor the direction, speed, yaw velocity and lateral acceleration of the car. Using this information, PSM is able to calculate the actual direction of travel at any given moment. If the car begins to oversteer or understeer, PSM applies selective braking on individual wheels to restore stability.
Under acceleration on wet or low-grip road surfaces, PSM improves traction using the automatic brake differential (ABD) and anti-slip regulation (ASR). When the SPORT PLUS mode of the optional Sport Chrono Package is selected, the PSM threshold is raised to allow a sportier driving style.
For an even more dynamic experience, you always have the option to deactivate PSM. It is automatically reactivated, for your safety, only if you brake harder and either of the front wheels (in SPORT PLUS mode, both of the front wheels) requires ABS assistance. ABS and ABD, however, remain active at all times.
PSM therefore offers a high level of driving stability and safety combined with extraordinary agility. It's an apparent contradiction in terms, but an intrinsic part of the Porsche identity.

"We've got your six." That's what Army Chief of Staff General Leominster said upon presentation of this serial number six M14 rifle to the NRA in 1960. As directions once corresponded to hours on the clock — 12 being forward and six back — anyone behind you was deemed "at your six." So to have someone's six was to have their back, defending and protecting at all cost. To General Leominster, that was the highest compliment he could pay the NRA. The M14 is one of the many treasures at the NRA National Firearms Museum in Fairfax, Virginia.

Gallery: World's First First All-Electric Nissan LEAF Lands in Californ...
By the end of 2011, Nissan hopes to deliver 20,000 LEAFs to the US and 50,000 globally in response to consumer demand for more environmentally friendly vehicles. Reservations in the US are currently closed until 2011, when Nissan will begin taking orders again for the popular vehicle. Orders in the US will be filled this coming week on Tuesday in Arizona, on Wednesday in Oregon, and on Friday in Seattle. Finally, Nissan will deliver a LEAF to owners in Tennessee, where Nissan bases its US operations.
The four-door hatchback car starts out at a retail price of $25,280 after a $7,500 federal tax credit. The SL model comes with a quick-charge port for the Lithium-ion battery for an extra $700. The zero emissions vehicle, which was named the 2011 European Car of the Year certainly doesn't sound like its gas-guzzling counterparts, but it isn't quiet either — Chalouhi says "When you accelerate, it sounds like you have a jet engine or a turbine under the hood." Sounds like fun.

Deep Space Chronicle: A Chronology of Deep Space and Planetary Probes 1958-2000, Monographs in Aerospace History No. 24, by Asif A. Siddiqi
National Space Science Data Center, http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/
This was the first of the Soviet Union's "third-generation" deep space planetary
probes of the 3MV series. Like the second generation, Soviet engineers projected four types of the 3MV: the 3MV-1 (for Venus impact), 3MV-2 (for Venus flyby), 3MV-3 (for Mars impact), and 3MV-4 (for Mars flyby). The primary difference over the second generation was vastly improved (and in many cases doubled) orientation system elements.
While these four versions were meant to study Mars and Venus, the Soviets conceived of two additional variants of the series, similar but not identical to the 3MV-1 and 3MV- 4 versions. These "test variants" were designed to verify key technological systems during simpler missions on flyby missions to the Moon and the near planets.
On this particular launch, the first to fly a "test variant," the third and fourth stages separated abnormally; after the craft reached Earth orbit, ground control lost telemetry from the Blok L upper stage designed to send the vehicle past
the Moon. The stage's main engine turbopump probably exploded upon ignition,
destroying the payload.
With this mission, the Soviets began the practice of giving Kosmos designations to lunar and planetary probes that remained stranded in Earth orbit.

Working Americans, specifically those in manufacturing, have President Obama's attention today.
He's in Asheville, North Carolina, visiting an expanding engine and transmission parts supplier.
Last night the president called job creation his "north star".
During the State of the Union the president called on Congress to raise the minimum wage, help homeowners refinance, promote early education and create jobs by promoting energy and manufacturing.
First, he said, Congress has to agree on a balanced budget that cuts the deficit.
Republicans say the spending needs to stop.
Tomorrow the president heads to a town just outside of Atlanta, and Friday he'll be in Chicago.
The latest Washington Post Poll shows just over half of Americans have a favorable opinion of the policies he's pursuing.

Policing for Profit - The Abuse of Civil Asset Forfeiture
Civil forfeiture laws represent one of the most serious assaults on private property rights in the nation today. With civil forfeiture, police and prosecutors can seize your property and use it to fund their budgets?all without charging you with a crime. Americans are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty, but with civil forfeiture, your property is guilty until you prove it innocent?and law enforcement has a huge incentive to police for profit, not justice.Read more

I can't find info on this problem: 3 1/4 year old TB 302 EFI with 105 hours on the clock. In the last month or so when starting from cold, engine goes to high speed for just 3 seconds then right to idle (when new it would go to high speed for about 15 or 20 seconds before settling down to idle the way it's supposed to). Otherwise unit works perfectly, goes to high speed then back down to idle 15 /20 seconds after welding/or electrical load is terminated. Problem at start-up only. Any ideas?? Miller factory tech helpful but unit just out of warranty. Thanks for any insight on this.

Thanks Cruizer. I remember reading awhile ago somewhere on the forum where you explained how to reset the engine ECM but can't find it. Is it just a remove the starting battery for a few seconds sorta thing?

death squads
Sandy Levinson
The invaluable Dana Priest has an article in today's Wasington Post, "Experts See a Strategy Behind CIA Shuffle: General May Help Intelligence Chief Rein In Rumsfeld and His Military Spy Plans."
since surely the US would not tolerate a President who would even think of turning us into an up-market version of Argentina, Chile, and El Salvador and their own domestic "disappearances" and "death squads."
Alas, I think that a majority of Americans would approve of "killing terrorists in foreign countries," which is how it would be framed. Cf. the remarkably successful Republican spin on the NSA's spying on American citizens within the U.S.
'I hope that this is simply a paranoid posting, […]'
Anybody heard of one John Yoo? Anybody think that his memos at the Department of Justice have any connection with what happened/happens at Abu Graib, Guantanamo and the whole "unitary executive" doctrine that presides these days?
If you've answered affirmatively to both questions, please recall what was said in this September 12, 2005, Wall Street Journal front-page piece ("Young Lawyer proposes assassinating more suspected terrorists"):
'Some of those memos have become public, but not all of them. Asked after his AEI talk whether there is a classified Justice Department opinion justifying assassinations, Mr. Yoo hinted that he'd written one himself. "You would think they — the administration — would have had an opinion about it, given all the other opinions, wouldn't you?" he said, adding, "And you know who would have done the work."
The *theory* is summarized by its author in a September 18, 2005 San Francisco Chronicle op-ed ("Assassination or war?"):
Prof. Levinson, I hate to say this but, I'm afraid that your posting isn't paranoid.
You raise valid points. There is though a much more likely explanation (spin?). If America knows that in Iran close the Iran/Iraq border, there are IED manufacturors who build their weapons, drive over the Iran/Iraq border to deliver them, then drive back to the safe haven of Iran. Would it not be appropriate to send in a special forces team to kill them?
I believe that is the main thrust of that line from the Post's article. Granted, that line from the article is ambiguous and could be used as support for your position, but you do think you are needlessly overreacting (at least in this case).
1. The Federal Government is empowered to repress domestic rebellions.
2. Assassination of enemy military leaders is permitted under the laws of war.
3. The President is commander in chief of the Armed Forces in time of war
4. Under the Constitution, the President is empowered to order the assassination of rebel leaders in the event of civil war.
Nor is tehre any US law forbidding the Uuse of assassuination by US military forces in furtherance of their lawful military objectives. There is the Ford executive order forbidding the US government from engaging in assassination, but presumably a specific order from a subsequent President would supersede the Ford order.
So the bottom line: could death squads be used lawfully against domestic enemies of the government? Of course? Have they been so used? Since as far as I know the fate of some of the captured German WWII sabateurs has never been released (somethign I just learned from Nachester's 1970's US history), it is not unlikely.

Hmong Soft Adventure Tour
Tour Overview :
Visitors will have a unique opportunity to explore the hills around the north of Chiang Mai, by visiting several hilltribe villages, going down the rapids in a river on inflatable rafts (around mid March-June due to low level of water bamboo rafts are used instead), trekking through the forest on elephant backs, biking on the dirt road through the jungle and hilly countryside, and walking on the steep wooded hills. Overnight stays at the Hmong Lodge (simple but equipped with necessary amenities) offer hilltribe atmosphere. The lodge features barbecue / camp - fire dinner and cultural presentations by the Hmongs.
