UPDATED with Dino Darts Secret below: We have tons of great tips for you today about how to increase your score and impress your friends on the Toy Story Midway Mania ride in California Adventure. Also check out our Toy Story store on Amazon.com!
If you are an advanced maniac, you must sit by yourself:
Hamm and Eggs: Hit the gophers on the bottom and combine that with the fox on the hen house. Then, hit the two pigs on the fence to reveal a cat and hit that. It could pop up in the middle or close to the barn. The point value for the cat goes to 500,1000,2000,2000,2000. At the end of this game, your ideal score is 51,200.
Balloon Pop: Hit the 500's at the bottom and the 1000 lamb in the middle of the screen. To make the balloons respawn, hit one of the green or blue 100 point lambs. Now, for the two rainclouds, clear 4 on each side and leave one remaining. Then take a breath, shoot one and QUICKLY pivot to the other. You only have half a second to hit the other one. If successful, 2000 point balloons will rain! An ideal game score is around 60,100. A good score is 72,100.
Army Men plates: Hit the plates all over the screen. Two 2000 point plates will pop up on both sides of the horizon. Aim at the horizon line for one plate, then when you hit it, quickly pivot to the other side. Once this is done, the mountain will descend and 4 2000 point plates will jump up in succession. Sort of like a wave. After this is done, hit all the plates and the plate that the tank throws at you. You should accumulate at least 80,000.
Ring Toss: Crunch time: Before the game starts, start pulling as fast as you can and make sure you aim at the aliens in the rocket. This will require practice. If an alien pops back up from the ship, it's over. But, if you hit the secret, the rocket will fly up and will reveal a gigantobot. It will pop up with 100,500,1000 and 2000. Try not to shoot inside the 100 point range. While the mouth is closed, hit the bottom targets on your screen. Planets, rockets, jetpacks and the 5000 point alien. Ideal score should be 115,000. A great score would be 130,000. It is possible to hit 144,000.
Bullseye: It is possible to unlock the secret by yourself. I recommend clearing the middle first, then the bottom gopher, then the two buildings, then the barrel, then the remainders. This will require practice also. Your ideal score should be 52,000. A great score would be 60,000+ In the end, your score should be 300,000+ Side Scrolling: Hit the two 500's, it will reveal a 2000. repeat as you are scrolling across. Mine carts: Hit all the mine carts. Keep the pivot movement slow and fire rapidly. But make sure your gun stays on the same horizontal axis and don't move it vertically. Then, the huge target will pop up…rapid fire! After all that mania is over, hopefully you hit 500,000.
Only 4 people have broken this mark and 3 of them can maintain it. Will you join our ranks?

Tailgaters predict win over the Bills
(Cleveland) - Browns tailgaters are predicting an easy win over the Buffalo Bills tonight. They say Cleveland has a lot of momentum under the leadership of fill-in quarterback Brian Hoyer, along with a rock solid defensive.
While many admit Hoyer looked very good in the last two games, they want to see more wins before he's crowned Cleveland's starting quarterback.
Some tell Newsradio WTAM 1100 they are not yet convinced the Browns are a greatly improved team, however they believe the franchise is moving in the right direction.
Browns QB Brian Hoyer will make third straight start. He's 2-0 and Coach Rob Chudzinski decided to stick with Hoyer despite Brandon Weeden being healthy after spraining right thumb.
Hoyer is first Browns QB to win his first two starts since Mark Rypien did it in 1994. The Browns' defense has only allowed a league-best 2.9 yards per rushing attempt.
The Browns are the only team in the league this season not to give up a run of 15 yards or longer, and linebacker Barkevious Mingo is the first rookie with three sacks in his first three games, that hasn't happened since 2004.

Honestly, I wouldn't buy any of the three...
looking for 1911 in. 45 but i think classic is in 9mm. what do you guys think? right now i have a sccy cpx-1cb. love this little gun.
Honestly, I wouldn't buy any of the three...
what do you recommended under $600?
I would take an RIA Tactical over the above three any day. Can be had for just over $400 in 9 or 45. It's no Colt, but for an entry-level 1911, it's pretty good.
Rock Island Armory 1911 Tactical 9mm 5" Parkerized $443.00 SHIPS FREE
I would also look at the STI Spartan. A step up in fit and finish from the RIA.
all right. thanks. like i said i have a sccy cpx-1cb that traded my feg in for(ammo). so far love it. looking for extra mags and a holster. think a holster for a keltec will fit? basically same gun.
I can offer my experience only with the American Classic Government Model. This gun has performed perfectly after nearly 1,000 rounds down the tube. It was accurate out of the box and I haven't even thought of messing with it.
I have shot all kinds of ammo and jhps without one problem. Even with the variety of mags like ACT, ProMag, Kimber, Mecgar, Chip McCormack and even $6 mags from Cheaper than Dirt, my gun has performed flawlessly. So, in my opinion, you won't find a better gun just a more expensive one.
Of course, since there are hundreds of 1911 models out there, you will get hundreds of other recommendations. But you asked about only three manufacturers.
I have a American Classic II in hard crome it is a great gun for the money only paid $ 565 tax included the only gun I would consider better would be a Springfield Armory but to get the same features on a Springfield Armory that is on a American Classic II you would have to get a Loaded model & they run any where from $ 800 & up & right now finding any Springfield Armory 1911 of any kind is hard to do but we can thank the elention for that I just hope we get Romey in there to secure or future as a nation & secure the freedon we have left .
I like the colt defender good and cheap!


text: I understand the limitations of this particular situation and I would like to give Frank the benefit of the doubt, but he has done this all year. Having him sit from the 6 minute mark of the first until the last 6 of the 2nd isn't playing him in 5-6 minute spurts either. I can't imagine a nice long sit is what Kander is ordering. Maybe this is just a communication breakdown with Mike Abdenour sidelined.


text: Darko got some flack, in the Detroit media, for complaining about Joe not forcing the coaches to play him: Sports [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Milicic said he repeatedly had conversations with Pistons' general manager Joe Dumars during his time in Detroit about his lack of playing time. What miffed him was that he said Dumars wanted him on the court, but that he couldn't overrule head coaches Larry Brown and then Flip Saunders.[/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman, serif] [/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]"I don't know if I can buy that," Milicic said. "If you are the GM and you keep telling me that you want me to get the chance to play 10 or 15 minutes, you can't tell me you can't make it happen. But I still respect (Dumars) a lot because he's a great guy. But that's a story that I can't buy."[/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]But, just a few hours after this comment, JMax's string of DNPs suddenly ends, and he gets 17 minutes. Coincindence? And then, this comment from McCoskey's weblog:[/FONT] But here's the deal. I have been told that the Pistons are not looking at another back-up point at this time. The reason is Will Blalock. The Pistons want, sooner or later, to see what they have in this kid. If Murray falters, Dumars and John Hammond, want to see how Blalock handles the challenge. Dumars and John Hammond, no Flip. And when you consider Saunders said Delfino was out of the rotation, yet Delfino played the next game, have to believe Joe is putting some pressure on Saunders, and that pressure is growing. No wonder Flip took some extra time off to "visit the family" in Minnesota. Any chance he's already taken the job for U of Minny?

Hi All:
Kinda of a silly question, but I've been banging head against the wall
for the past two nights. I am trying to figure out how I can make my
own colour gradient, analogous to Rainbow, AplineColors, &c.
Is there any standard framework around trying to create your own?
Further, say I wanted one of the preexisting ones, but scaled
exponentially, or set a particular value to bright yellow (to
highlight that specific result). I used to use IDL quite a bit, and
made use of these kinds of manipulations frequently.
Any ideas or references? I keep finding myself doing the same old loop

on, and so on.....

So apparently Rengar is so broken rn because his Q is bugged. It can crit when it's not supposed to be able to.
So apparently Rengar is so broken rn because his Q is bugged. It can crit when it's not supposed to be able to.
Currently playing: FFXIV (Elucifer Arclight, Leviathan server), LoL (Trash Tier Waifu, NA server), SMITE (Zacewing)
Everyone is hyping Rengar really because the best Rengar player in NA started streaming on Twitch, RyanChoi or Ninfang. He is an absolute beast on Rengar, and dominates as hard as he does on his smurf, on his character in challenger.
Rengar is not broken at the moment. He is pretty balanced, and you need to be very skilled to have success like Ryan. But if there are nerfs, it will only happen if Rengar breaks into the LCS, but that would never happen, and there are not many people that good at Rengar. The attention from Ninfang on twitch won't cause any immediate changes while Rengar on lolking has only a 48% win rate.
His pick rate has gone from 9% to 19% this week. It's hilarious, because the jump is the same day Ryan Choi started his streaming schedule and advertisement.
Also, did anyone else watch the C9 vs LMQ match, was the greatest LCS match of the year. Was so good, a must watch if you missed it!

No, Rengar's Q isn't supposed to be able to crit, but it can. That's why he's permabanned in LCS, and that's why you see ghostblade/SotD Rengars oneshotting squishies.

As an ADC right now I legitimately ****ing hate Jax. I hope to god he gets nerfed soon.
I am at Gold 3 right now and want to climb to plat. My most dominating champions are
MID: Leblanc (Everything is either going even or not as great)
TOP: Jax, Wukong, Ryze (These three are always changing my games)
Jungle: Jax, Wukong, Amumu, Eve
I am pretty subpar at everything else, (don't get me started on ADC). Any feedbacks that are MUST LEARN champions I should learn to help me climb faster?
Pride is a wonderful trait.
for the jungle i'd try to learn kha, lee and panth. (amumu is gonna fall of hard lateron)
top: renekton, shyvana. if you are dedicated try tryndamere ( he always gets to a point where he can carry ... the question is WHEN you reach it), riven.
and try to learn at least a bit of adc, i always feel like that improves my overall gameplay the most.

Not a fan of double posting but a bunch of new stuff came out in the PBE tonight including 5 new futbol skins, a new skin for draven, a texture update to two of Skarner's skins, and gameplay changes to both Nidalee and Skarner. Check em out. http://www.surrenderat20.net/2014/06/64-pbe-update.html
What they did with Nidalee's passive is interesting. That Pounce covers one heck of a distance now.
"Why would Draven get a Nashor's Tooth? Because Draven."
New Items considered to be added in.
(NEW) Essence Reaver
RECIPE: Vampiric Scepter + Pickaxe + 950 Gold = 2650 Total Gold Cost
Attack Damage: 50
Life Steal: 10%
Cooldown Reduction: 10%
UNIQUE Passive: You gain 2 to 8% of the damage dealt by basic attacks as Mana. Mana drain increases based on how much Mana you are missing.
Notes: While iterating with life steal slots - we realized that caster based carries are split into two camps: One that needs mana - and one that wants ratios. While we were iterating, we stumbled across this item that seemed to allow for a really intensive mana spam/attack combat pattern that seemed fun especially on Ezreal (Q) /Graves (Q) / Corki / Draven (W) / Sivir (W).(NEW) Ardent Censer
Recipe: Forbidden Idol + Aether Wisp + 200 G = 1900 Total Cost
30 Ability Power
10 Mana Regeneration per 5 seconds
10% Cooldown Reduction
8% Movement Speed
Unique Passive: Whenever you heal or shield another champion, they gain 25% Attack Speed for 6 seconds.
Notes: We wanted to create a mid-tier support item for supports now that Mikael's sits at a higher price point. We also want to see how you guys respond to this particular trigger effect as it has interesting interactions across supports. Thresh, for example, has an AoE AS boost from this item - while Janna and Lulu both offer attack steroids that synergize well with the Attack Speed.
And it's probably overkill on Nidalee.
Note this is your heals and shields on other champions - so self-healing is right out. When we tested it, there was a lot of weird rules cases and edge cases that seemed to make very little sense - how would you expect Malphite's passive to interact with this, for example?
Recipe: Forbidden Idol + Aether Wisp + 200 G = 1900 Total Cost
30 Ability Power
10 Mana Regeneration per 5 seconds
10% Cooldown Reduction
8% Movement Speed
Unique Passive: Whenever you heal or shield another champion, they gain 25% Attack Speed for 6 seconds.
That would be so OP on Nunu support. :|
Sona, Janna, and Nami... I'd see a big issue with Sona.
But on Nidalee, it would be stupid since Nidalee is a terrible support. It would be way more overpowered on Nami, considering Nami is one of the best caster supports in the game. Even though she's a featherweight, she has so much utility, which is why she's a top tier pick in the Korean meta and you see her in a lot of OGNCL.
The exact specifics on what kind of effect it would have on champs with a shield/heal. Nid's is pretty funny.
dat new ad item. is it really time to make a comeback with mah Battlecast urgot

Salt Lake County Sheriff Jim Winder began his speech Wednesday by standing to the side of the podium and cracking jokes. But just minutes later, his face hardened and his voice brimmed with righteous indignation.
"People are angry. They're being fed a line that government is broken," Winder said. "Government is not broken. Government is why this society continues to function."
Winder's comments came during his keynote speech at the American Society for Public Administration's annual awards banquet in Salt Lake City. The ASPA honored Winder during the banquet with the Arthur V. Watkins Distinguished Service Award. The award honors elected officials who, through exceptional commitment, skill and integrity, serve the public with special distinction.
Pauline Zvonkovic, president of ASPA, said Winder's award and others presented Wednesday were chosen from nominations submitted to her organization. The organization's board then votes to select a winner.
Sheriff's Capt. Matt Dumont introduced Winder, saying he works 80-hour weeks and personally takes care of issues that come to the attention of the sheriff's department.
"We're getting some bang for our buck," Dumont said of the amount of work Winder puts in.
Moments later, Winder walked to the front of the room as about 45 attendees applauded. After joking that he had just learned he was slated to speak, he praised his department, saying the award reflected their hard work.
"The awards and accolades that I receive are not about me," he said.
Winder went on to say that he gets his "very short and grey hair blown back" by people who dislike government. Winder said after the banquet that there are problems at the federal level, but insisted during the speech that local government employees across various departments are hardworking people who have chosen to serve the public.
He also called the award humbling and a positive reflection on his entire department, adding that "good service does cost money," and at the local level people in Salt Lake County are getting a good value for their tax dollars.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I did some instructing in Tahoe for the 2010-2011 season and they were pushing me and pushing me to get into skiing. They gave me free demo rentals for the season and set up classes for the snowboard instructors to get lessons from our ski instructors. On busy days there were never enough ski instructors.
Even 3 years ago we had twice as many ski as we did snowboard classes.
I did the skiing thing for a few weeks but ended up hurting my toes pretty bad. Was told I needed to get some better boots and have them fitted for my feet and to expect to spend at least $1000 for all that even with my proforms.
Skiing is fun, and there is definitely something to be said for going down the hill face first, but I can't justify the cost of learning it when I still have so much left I want to improve on with snowboarding.
The one thing I hated about skiing was the fear of knee injury. I've sprained my right MCL twice and that was painful and debilitating enough. I can't imagine shredding an ACL or some crazy shit on skis.
I started skiing 30 years ago and just recently tried snowboarding as my teenage daughter passed a comment that "old people ski because snowboarding is too difficult for them". Well I did garlands and falling leaf on my first run (after watching video on snowprofessor.com), linked turns on my second run ever all this in first hour of riding. I was a skateboarder 40 years ago so it felt very familiar. So those wanting to pick up snowboarding in one trip should just learn skateboarding in summer and in winter they'll be riding within the 1st 2 days - guaranteed.
I have been riding way more this season than I've skiied and noticed that some skiers would hassle me as a noob snowboarder going slower than them everytime they passed me. I also thought before that snowboarders were a wild and unruly bunch when I was a skier as they would hassle me when I skiing slowing, but since I ski alot faster than I ride (way faster) and I would give chase and an incident follows....especially the time a snowboarder knocked my 10 yr old into a ditch (other side of run was a cliff - I shudder to think what would have happened if he was on the other side). He didnt stop or anything. Reported him to the resort...but nothing. Anyway my point is A-holes will be A-holes whether they ski or ride, they're everywhere, it's life.
One trend I noticed though were my foreign friends from Asia. They were avid skiers skiing 2 different countries every year. As time passed, their entire family switched progressively to snowboarding. Just a few weeks ago, 3 families of skiers vacationed with me in Whistler and they are ALL snowboarders now all 12 of them. I asked why and the reason is Dad is the one that needs to pack and mostly carry all the gear and help the kids get into hard to get into ski boots. All the dads decided snowboarding was more travel friendly. Boards without bindings all pack flat and lighter than skis. Kids can put on boots themselves and bindings don't need adjusting for size and DIN each time junior's feet grows. I heard a forth family they know just switched to snowboarding as well.
I still choose to use my skis when conditions are icy or when I want some speed.
But yes, this season I see much less snowboarders than last year...even number of snowboard instructors has reduced
I started my daughter on skis. I figured it would be easier for her to get to a level where she could explore more of the mountain sooner than she could on a snowboard. So far, I've been right. She's able to wedge around and cruise green trails instead of just the bunny hill. My goal was to get her in the mountains and just enjoy it up there. Mission accomplished. This is her 4th season on the snow and she's only 5 1/2.
I also skied in the past and picked up a pair of hybrid camber skis this year (used market). That was mainly because I quit skiing and picked up a board right before shaped skis came out. I can still ski pretty well, but I don't have the same connection as on a board. The board is going to remain my main sliding tool for the foreseeable future.
What I think is happening is that skiing is shedding the high society image that someone mentioned earlier. So kids are able to dress how they want and ski how they want. Its no longer just about burning moguls and running gates. Remember when Johnny Moseley's trick in the Olympics caused a huge stir because he went upside down? Remember when freestyle ski jumping was more akin to gymnastics? Remember when doing tricks was just called Hot Dogging? I think the article got it wrong. Skiing isn't cool again, its just not as lame.
Also, just so everyone knows, my daughter has been asking about snowboarding. I may or may not do it this year. I would like to get her skiing blue runs before making the transition. Plus, the snowboard gear I already have for her doesn't fit yet.
|School ski bus...the numbers are down...imo due to economy...4-5 years ago we were taking 5-6 bus loads of kids this year 2 bus loads. The past 2 years there have been more skiers but this year there are more boarders on the buses. The little hill has had more tourist the past 2 years (perhaps due to bad snow years in other parts) but the number of pass holders are down (due to economy). The daily lift rate only rose slightly but generally considered a bargain compared to other hills. And this past saturday, the enitre afternoon, was helping/coaching a skier kid right off the bunny hill down his first black runs...he did great.

|Snowboarding doesn't have the counterculture/rebel vibe any more. I've heard teenagers say they switched to skiing to try something different. So now I guess snowboarding and skiing are competing on an equal basis. Which means among other things, you have the difference in learning curve between the two. Most everyone agrees that skiing is easier to learn (at the beginning) than snowboarding, so I guess a drop in new boarders is inevitable.

Now there is something I am seeing in my coaching activities that does seem to support the author`s opinion. In area ski schools, there is a HUGE increase in demand for ski lessons and a drop off for snowboard. I have never seen so many snowboard instructors having to cross train into skiing just to get work. Area resorts are paying their snowboard instructors to take ski lessons and are giving them free season rentals to free ski more to get more proficient at skiing so they can teach to higher level skiers. I am definitely seeing a noticeable trend favoring skiing over snowboarding for new people getting into snow sports.

I like snowboarding simply because of how it feels. Skis might have as much flotation and more adaptability, but those factors only are a part of the equation. Snowboarding in deep pow gives me more of a feeling of euphoria for some reason. I don't understand why really, because I'm sliding on snow either way but facing sideways versus facing forward.

Oh god no. No it isn't. Like rollerblades vs. skateboards this recent surge of young kids wanting to ski instead of board will soon pass.

|You think I don't know we had snow 3 years ago? Kind of lived here for almost a whole decade kid. Should do your facts and check the economy along with the local tax roll and see where our money for your free bus comes from.

On Tuesday, Feb. 16, we were honored to host a special event at our Irvine, Calif. headquarters to mark the donation of more than $1.1 million to the Make-A-Wish Foundation and Make-A-Wish Foundation International, two organizations that grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions in 36 countries around the world. This donation, which was based on 50 percent of the total sales during November and December of the Pandaren Monk pet for World of Warcraft, was ultimately made possible by the World of Warcraft community. We appreciate the support the community showed for this important cause.
As part of yesterday's event, we invited 15 wish children and their families to tour the Blizzard campus, meet with the World of Warcraft development team, and participate in a variety of fun activities. Check out the press release to read more about the event, and visit the Make-A-Wish Foundation and Make-A-Wish Foundation International websites to learn more about these organizations.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
And, regarding other pets in the household... I would be very careful about that. After my dog's first seizure, which was the worst one he has ever had, he was temporarily blind (not uncommon after a seizure), scared and confused. I was the only person he would allow near him.
After that first seizure, he has not shown the same level or disorientation or fear towards other members of the household (which are made up of my significant other and a cat).
A final note, I would not crate an epileptic dog in a standard wire crate unless I knew the seizures were under good control. If you do not trust the dog having free roam, I would dedicate a room for them or use a different type of crate with fewer openings for a dog to potentially injure him/herself during a grand mal seizure.
Hi jparker,
So, I typed out a long response and lost it due to a time-out on the site.
Anyway, I just want to tell you that I have an epileptic dog and I would not hesitate to adopt one now that I have the experience of having lived with an epileptic dog.
I would, however, want to know some details about the seizure history so that I could best inform my vet.
Specific questions I would ask:
-How many seizures has the dog had?
-How long were the seizures? Any observations of the pre-ictal, ictal or post-ictal state that I should be aware of?
-Has the dog had cluster seizures, i.e. more than one on the same day?
-What medication has the dog been on, is the dog currently on? What impact has that had on the seizure frequency/severity?
My dog has had ups and downs on his journey with epilepsy, but he is a wonderful dog and he has no idea that he is epileptic… he has a "joie de vivre" that is contagious to all around him : ).
He is on Phenobarbital and that has proven to be the best medication for him.
Here is a website with good basic info:
I just wanted to thank everyone who responded to my post...very good information that is very much appreciated.
|Chris Wild
I would inquire into great detail what meds he is on and how well the seizures are being controlled. Some dogs can live long, full lives with epilepsy. Others do not. If the meds are providing good seizure control at this point, he will probably be ok. If he is one of the cases that is not responding well to meds and getting good seizure control, you may be setting yourself up for huge heartbreak. Seizures can also lead to other problems. We had a dog who developed epilepsy just short of her 2nd birthday, the seizures damaged her heart, and she died in her sleep from a heart attack before she was 3.
Also find out his meds and dosages and then call around to see how much those are going to cost. If he's doing well on the standard drugs of pheno and bromide, those are very affordable. If he needs the newer drugs like keppra, zonisamide, gabepentin, those can easily run hundreds of dollars a month. So you want to make sure you'll be able to afford his meds long term.
How other dogs react during a seizure depends on the other dogs. Some barely notice, but there have been cases of attacks on the seizing dog being triggered as well. So to be on the safe side I would plan to keep him separated from other dogs when unsupervised to minimize risk of a problem should he have a seizure, at least until you know how the other dog will react.
|I have a dog with epilepsy. When she had seizures, we took our other dog out of the room, just in case. Some dogs don't care, some get worried and get in the way (dangerous for the dog since they could get bit while the other dog is seizing) some dogs react aggressively. So it's best not to risk it and take the other dog out of the room, while the other person stays with the dog that is seizing and makes sure they don't hit their head or bump into things. I like to pet Xena when she is seizing and tell her it's ok to help me keep calm When they are done and can eat again, honey will work but that can raise the blood sugar too high too fast, that can trigger another seizure just like low blood sugar can, a lot of support sites recommend a spoonful of PLAIN vanilla ice cream with a drop or two of a product called rescue remedy. It also helps some dogs come out of the post ictal phase a little bit quicker. Another thing that helps after the seizure is turning off the lights, tv, radio, etc. and trying to get them to lay down. It's hard because a lot of the time they want to walk, and they aren't really all there yet so even if you hold onto them they will still kick their legs as if they are walking. They walk into walls and stuff, but really they are VERY tired, so once they go down they might be down the rest of the night/day. Hope that helps
|We had a dog many years ago that had seizures. Our vet told us to give him a teaspoon of honey to lick while he was coming out of it to help replenish the sugars he used up during the seizure ( all that seizure activity uses up blood sugar). The dog was a beagle, he never suffered any ill effect that I noticed, he'd be just a bit dazed and confused coming out of it. We had 3 huskies also, who completely ignored him before during and after seizures. (I think they didn't think he was a dog).
|We've owned several dogs that had problems with seizures, and they lived mostly normal lives, and the other dogs didn't pay much attention to the canine that was affected. We were lucky that most seizures were mild, of short duration, and not very frequent. We used anti- seizure meds to manage the seizures, with no Ill effects to the pet's health over time.Anti- seizure meds have come a long way in the past few years. I hope your new GSD doesn't experience severe episodes, it is important to have a good relationship with your vet, and try and get the dosage to level the dog out to control and hopefully prevent future seizures. Good luck and best wishes for the future. Bob
Hi everyone....my husband and I are adopting a 1 1/2 year old male GSD from a rescue to add to our family. We go to pick him up on Friday. When I was looking at the GSD rescues I saw him and for some reason knew he was the one. His previous owners had to give him up for personal reasons. After reading his information he has seizures, but this was not a deterrent for us. I was just wanting to write and ask if anyone has any experience with this medical condition in dogs. We also have a 4 year old female GSD and was wondering if anyone would possibly know how she would respond to seeing him have a seizure. Any information would be great. I've been reading a lot about epilepsy in dogs since we knew we were going to get him, but I just thought I would ask for extra advice on here. I've also attached a picture of him...isn't he beautiful? Thanks , Jamie

I'm a recent college graduate looking to land a TEFL job in Taiwan hopefully by September. Besides a B.A. degree in English, my only real qualification is a 60-hour online TEFL training certification (no real teaching experience).
If anyone is familiar with the TEFL job market in Taiwan, will this suffice? Or is it be necessary for me drop several hundred dollars on more extensive training?

SIOUX CITY, Iowa – Experience Ida County's local foods network by attending "Farm to Fork" Friday, Aug. 23. The afternoon bus trip will explore locally produced culinary sensations from Ida County farms and businesses, according to Laurie Taylor, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach Master Gardener and Regional Food Coordinator.
"This Ida County culinary tour is a chance to meet the people involved in local foods – the producers and growers, processors and promoters," said Taylor. "Visiting the farms and meeting the people involved gives a more complete awareness of the local foods network and a greater appreciation for the contributions rural counties make to local foods."
The tour leaves at 10 a.m. from the Woodbury County Extension Office, 4301 Sergeant Rd., #213, Sioux City, and also will pick up participants at Tiefenthaler Quality Meats in Holstein at 11 a.m. The bus will return to Tiefenthaler at 7:15 p.m. and Woodbury County Extension at 8:15 p.m.
Tour destinations include Tiefenthaler Quality Meats in Holstein, Shrimp 59 LLC in Holstein and Koch's Garden Market vegetable farm near Cherokee. Farm tours and samples will be provided throughout the day.
The excursion will culminate with a wine tasting and dinner at Old Town Vineyard and Winery in Ida Grove. "Our menu will include grilled pork chops and herb marinated turkey tenderloin, roasted vegetables, fresh vegetable salad with an herb vinaigrette dressing, and a dessert," Taylor said. "The Ida County Pork Producers will grill the chops and a local caterer is preparing the rest of the meal. This shows the variety of groups and individuals local foods involves."
Cost to attend is $50 per person. Pre-registration is encouraged as there are limited seats available. Register by Monday, Aug. 19, by contacting ISU Extension-Woodbury County at (712) 276-2157 or visit www.extension.iastate.edu/woodbury.
Taylor also is planning a Woodbury County culinary tour on Sept. 15. Watch the Woodbury County Extension website for more details on this tour that includes Farmer Brown's Garden, Autumn Grove Orchard and St. Thomas Community Gardens.

|I think 4 jaw and s-10 have made some godd points. Here is my take. Like s-10 has stated with that light of car and mild engine a min. of trick suspension is needed. If you just want something that looks trick and has some adjustment to ittake a look under some of the new dirt modifieds. Most of the around here have a 3 link with 3 shocks. I haven't played with one yet but have been watching what the different adjustments do and how much they change the car. I know I'm talking about a dirt car here but the idea is the same. They guys tell me that build them that this has allowed them a more forgiving chassis. They say they don't have to go super soft in back to get it to hook on those hard tires they use. Jet Mod uses this on his new stuff and I think Dirt Works has a chassis with this set up at least as an option. This is what is going in my next toy. But hey I like to have something different. Good luck, Ryan
I will first say that with a 325HP mill you really dont need a 4 link unless for handling purposes on the street. It this case a Three link is probably better.
The drag racing style rod ends are as good as they get. I am using 3/4 inch with hard races, no urethane crap. Those will wear out and will have the slop you are talking about. As for the bars I would bought a CE kit. It comes with 1 inch ID Chrome Moly Bars with 1/8 wall. That is some damned strong stuff. You have to get the pro kit, not the cheap one though. Also buy the best rod ends. They will run you about $50 each. As for the track locator, a diagonal link works very well and keeps thing straight on launch. Dont use a panard bar as it will cause the rearend to shift in the arc of travel. As for the hop, it is usually due to improper set up. A good rule of thumb for a mild setup is locate the bottom bar at 3 degrees down and the top bar in the highest hole possible. This is suppose to be a good starting point.
Thanks 4 jaw,
You make some very valid points. The "watts" link system is very good at limiting side to side movement if properly mounted. It will work in a confined space too. All of my stuff is TIG welded because that is what I do best so that is a given.
Bottom line is make it tougher than you think is necessary then add a little more.
With all of the high power crate motors and big tires available now, it requires a very tough rear end and mounting to survive "over the road" use.
thanks for the comments.
|4 Jaw Chuck
|Most of the problems you have seen are caused by the owners design. You want durability? then stay away from the "drag race" sized rod ends and put some beefy components under there. When you make your rods make them out of heavy gauge mechanical tubing larger than 3/4 inch and make them as long as possible. Gusset everything and TIG weld the whole shooting match together. A nice four link setup with a rocker style panhard assy mounted to the axle housing is probably the best all around, most launch hop problems with this design are due to deflection in the components and inadequete shock/angle damping. Have a look at some offroader type installations and see how they are built, these guys build them tough (not for looks) and can't afford any axle hop at any time.
4 link vs. triangulated 4 link. rear suspension
How about some pros and cons of each system.
Here is my thought this is for a streetrod about 325 hp. 2800 #, automatic big fats on the rear, narrowed rear end.
It will be at the strip maybe two or three times in its life.
A triangulated 4 link is great for street..no noise smooth riding, no real adjustments. However getting it to hook up at the track might be tough. Even on the street.
Could a true 4 link be set up for the track then reset for the street. Parallel bar fashion. this would use a narrow rear end. A panhard bar is going to be pretty short so I would expect some sideways movement of the body/frame relative to the road. is this practical or just dreaming. I already have seem a broken diagonal track bar and a very noisy Y yoke system on cars that are driven on the street so those are out.

Amazon's datacenter in Tokyo may have been one of the worst-kept secrets in cloud computing and finally it's public! We've been operating there to support customers for a while and can now turn on our dashboard support for the EC2 AP-Tokyo region for everyone. We already have a number of RightImages installed and we'll be publishing a full complement of RightImages and ServerTemplates with our next release in a couple of weeks. We also already have employees in Japan and RightScale K.K is being formed, so please contact us with any questions. All this is great news for us and our Japanese customers, many of whom have been operating out of US regions thus far.
When we announce full support for a new cloud this implies a significant commitment from our end (each EC2 region is its own independent cloud and the only thing that is shared across all EC2 regions are the account credentials). While RightScale started as a single small instance back in 2006 it is now a global distributed system. The best way to think about it is that it provides all the life support that servers need to function and be managed efficiently in a growing set of clouds around the globe. We are in the midst of a year-long engineering effort that allows us to distribute more and more of the components that make up the RightScale platform. This is important because we can move configuration data and communication infrastructure into each cloud to improve performance as well as availability - which ultimately includes multi-cloud business continuity.
I must say that the number of life-support systems we have had to build has come as quite a surprise to me and I believe that this is one of the distinguishing features of the RightScale platform. It turns out that provisioning, configuring, managing, monitoring, and automating servers requires a lot of moving parts. On top of that, our customers expect to see their servers running in different clouds all on one web page. The RightScale life-support system for managing servers consists of many parts:
- when they start to boot, servers need to connect back to the RightScale core to get their configuration information
- during the boot process system packages need to be downloaded for installation or update, this requires redundant in-cloud OS distribution mirrors which we provide; in addition, we provide daily mirror snapshots so it is possible to boot a server with a fixed known mirror content
- during the boot process the ServerTemplate's content needs to be downloaded, whether RightScripts, RightScript attachments, or configuration data; these also need to be cached redundantly in-cloud, while updates to the origin (svn or git repos in some cases) need to be propagated promptly
- as servers come up they often need information about other servers in the same deployment, for example to locate load balancers, app servers, and/or databases; we support this using tag lookups and server-to-server messaging through RightLink
- once servers are operational they produce monitoring data which needs to be collected, stored, and graphed; similarly they produce syslog logging data which must be collected
Most of these support systems are now located in all the EC2 regions and we are continuing to distribute more of the platform. In time this will enable us to place support systems into larger private clouds as well. But I'll keep that for a future blog post since right now we're busy rounding out support in EC2 Japan as well as localizing our dashboard.

I was looking at buying a rock river arms LAR-15 hunter but the price is 1500. I like that it has a 1/8 twist barrel, because I think you can shot the cheap 55g ammo right? Plus your still have the accuracy with out the heaver gram ammo. I don't know if the half free floating barrel makes that much of a different, but I like the smooth look. Kind like the coyote ar-15 I like alot. It only weigh 7.3# and has 16in barrel, witch would make it nice for transporting.
IDK what to get but I read good things about rock river guns. I never fired one or seen one in life.
Would it be easer to make one.

I think you are alright so far. Pull the back tight side to side and put a few staples in that seam. Make sure it is on tacking strip so it will be covered by wire-on. Don't staple any further then this area for now. Next go to the front. Raise front header up 6" or so, center material and put a few staples in each outer edge pull it snug but not too tight. Now carefully lower header making sure you don't pull out your staples or tear your material. Header should hang loose about an inch or so above windshield if not adjust front. I usually put a piece of foam or something between header and windshield for support. Now go to the back quarters and work the top forward and down on each side area at the rear bow. The area around rear quarter windows is one of the last things you do but you might need to clamp them in place while adjusting to get wrinkles out. Now you have to remove the bottom tack rail in and out about 50 more times to make adj. intil it's perfect or you get sick of it and call it good enough which ever comes first Hope this helps.
Thanks Gringo, I am going to look at it tonight with those ideas in my head and see what I can do.
I've just read this entire thread and it has been a very helpful experience. I got here because I am redoing the top on a 71 Chevelle convertible and I ran into a problem.
Brian - just like you, I was confused about rear bow height. I measured mine 100 times and found out that mine is 1 inch off. It should be 20.5 inches, but it is 21.5 inches. This is both before and after taking off a working and fitting (but VERY dirty) top off. I still have the pads on so nothing's moved at this point. Take a look at the first picture to see the measurement...
Anyhow, I figured I would just "fix" that little problem. But then, I measured the "inter-bow" spacing. It is the spacing between the rear upper bow and the next bow forward. On my car, according to GM, it should be 18.5 inches. And it is!!! But only with the rear bow height set "wrong". Any before you ask, yes, the old top fit well and worked well - it was really badly stained by the previous owner, though.
So here's the question - Do I move the rear bow and mess up the inter-bow spacing? Or do I keep things the way they were and figure the previous top installer knew something I don't???
I'd really appreciate any help you guys have!
Wait until others with real experience answer but I'll tell you what I think, that factory spacing to the second to the last bow is the most important measurement. Do you have the new top? Put your rear bows spacers like they have in the GM manual, measure it off perfectly and set it up like they want. Don't put the rear curtain on just yet, first lay the top over the irons and see how it fits up to the rails at the quarter windows. Now go under the and look at that loop of material that mounts the top to the second from the front bow. There is a piece of metal that is screwed to that second to the front bow. The strip of metal goes thru that loop of material and then you slip it into that bow and put the screws from underneath. If you removed the old top you know this of course. But check it out, when that top is in place like this your rear bow height should be right there under the seam on the ends of the rear valance. There is VERY little room for error. I couldn't understand why everyone was making such a big deal about that bow height. I just couldn't understand why if that bow was forward or rearward an inch or so what the big deal would be. LOL, HOLY COW was I wrong and found out real quick when I put that top on for the first time! The top doesn't have much movement, you are SCREWED if that bow is in the wrong place.
But lay it out, look at it, I don't understand why that bow height off the rear moulding is that big of a deal, the distance between the rear bow and the second to the last bow is REALLY where the rubber meets the road. THAT is your top, your irons, that rear bow distance to the second to the rear bow IS your top. That is where the top mounts and at the rear of the curtain to the body is darn near irrelevant. At least that's how I see it, but let some others give you their thoughts.
I see you're measuring with the rear curtain off. Did you measure the bow height of the old top before you took off the top and rear curtain? 20 1/2" is the correct bow height for your Chevelle, but if the old top fit correctly with the frame like it is now, leave the entire set-up alone. If the old pads are still good, just leave them alone also. Just make sure that the seam across the back of the top, if there is one, sits in the middle of the rear bow so it can be covered by the wire-on. In other words, don't change anything unless your new top doesn't fit with the old rear bow height.
Don't let the science of installing the top (the measurements) get in the way of the art of installing the top (adjusting the top to make it look good), and vice versa. Does that statement make any sense to you?
No one lives forever, the trick is creating something that will.

Hi Brian - thank you for the info. I think you might be right, judging by Dan's response.
Hi Dan - Thanks so much for the quick and clear response. Yes, I did measure it before I took the curtain or top off. I have a picture of that somewhere, but I can't find it. Regardless, I remember thinking "21 1/2, it is perfect". That's right, I guess I misread the info because this whole time I was thinking 21 1/2 was right.
I can't reuse the pads - they look terrible, but are still intact. I removed one side completely, just to see how things looked, but I have a homemade GM spacer stick holding it. Well, last night while trying to get more measurements, I knocked the spacer loose and realized that the rear bow is at its forward stop... Is that a very bad thing? I just put the spacer back in and I hope everything is ok - the other side's pad is still in place and the spacer is still locked in size.
About the interbow spacing - is it measured from the rolled edge of the rear bow to the middle of the next bow? I attached another measuring picture in case it isn't clear. That's the rear bow and my previous post has the distance to the next one.
Sorry for more stupid questions, but I am pretty determined to get this setup myself.
Thanks again!
You should be O.K. just putting the spacer back in place, that shouldn't matter at this point. Replace the pads one at a time, don't take both of them off. Then you can measure the other side and match them. I would think the spacing would be measured from the front of the rear bow to the back of the second bow, but I don't know that for sure.
Don't over analyze this whole process, some guy making $3.00 an hour put the original top on, and he was probably hung over when he did it.
No one lives forever, the trick is creating something that will.
LOL, how true.
What blew me away Dan was how little room for error there is when you get that top on. I had one side of the rear bow too far forward as you remember. Thank goodness I corrected that or the seam on the top would have been in front of the bow!
I looked at the old top and sure enough, that is how it was! The bead went in front of the wire-on!
Ok, the top is looking pretty good.
The next step is buttoning up the front and the wire-on. The one problem I have is the seams at the end of the rear bow. They curve a little (or at least how I put the top on they ended up that way) and I am wondering about gathering up that material and stapling it down before the wire on is put over it, is this possible?
At the very least, move the seam over the bow, even if I still end up with a wrinkle there but to hide the seam at the very least.
Also, I am thinking stapling it pretty good across the bow before the wire-on, this would be proper?
I've been wondering how you have been doing. Looks good. I could see you would have a few wrinkles in this area, but didn't say anthing until you got there. You can try folding this over and stapling but sometimes it makes a big lump and shows on wire on. I would carefully cut it a little and pull your wrinkles out and staple it good. Some tops just come with slits that aren't sewn. Yes staple all across bow before wire on. Once you get it all buttoned up let it sit out in sun for awhile and it will take a set. Then if you want it to stay that way, don't put it down. Just saying. Tedious work isn't it.
The thought of cutting it gives me the shakes. I thought about it but damn that is scary. It would take some sort of sealant like urethane or something wouldn't it?
Brian, it looks great. Gringo is 100% right with everything he told you. If it was me, I would take out the stitching and overlap the pieces until they are smooth, which might require a little cutting, and then staple it down, and yes, all the way across the rear bow. It will be stapled down by the wire-on too, so don't go crazy with the first row of staples.
No one lives forever, the trick is creating something that will.
And you don't do any kind of sealant there over the seam, just staple it and install the wire-on?
Thanks so much guys!
As I look closer at your photos, I'd start by taking the stitches out of that little area and see if you can work them out. Pull back area up first and staple it down, then pull front part over it staple down and trim off excess if you have any. If it makes you feel more secure you can put a little sealer, but you don't need it.
Again, Gringo is right on.
No one lives forever, the trick is creating something that will.

Each year Canadians become ill from the foods they eat. The Public Health Agency of Canada, together with Health Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, work in close cooperation with health authorities to protect the public from these outbreaks.
The Public Health Agency of Canada conducts outbreak surveillance and epidemiology and provides advice to protect peoples health.
Health Canada develops food safety standards and policies to help minimize the risk of foodborne illnesses.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency carries out inspection of the food industry to ensure that it meets its food safety responsibilities.
The Public Health Agency of Canada, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, and Health Canada work with public health officials, and provincial ministries of health to confirm the source of the food-related illnesses when an outbreak is suspected. When cases occur in multiple provinces, federal officials lead the epidemiological investigation. In addition, they provide reference laboratory services, conduct food safety investigations and recall actions.
Health Canada also briefs the medical community, public health officials, the food industry and the public on matters related to the food illnesses where appropriate. As a founding member of the Canadian Partners for Consumer Food Safety Education, Health Canada also participates in public awareness campaigns about safe food practices.
The federal, provincial and territorial (FPT) government departments and agencies responsible for public health and food safety have updated the Foodborne Illness Outbreak Response Protocol (FIORP) 2010. FIORP 2010 will allow public health and food safety authorities across Canada to respond faster, more efficiently and more effectively to national and international outbreaks.
FIORP 2010 is the technical and operational protocol that guides how FPT public health and food safety authorities manage national or international food-borne illness outbreaks. A national outbreak is one that spans more than one province or territory. An international outbreak is one that spans more than one country, including Canada.
Following the national listeriosis outbreak of 2008, the FPT governments reviewed the protocol to build on lessons learned and further improve how outbreaks are responded to and managed in Canada.

For a minute there, the collective sigh from Arsenal supporters worldwide was nearly audible. After the loss to Chelsea the week before, where our old nemesis the set piece came back to haunt us, it was looking like another retro game. Despite dominating the opening 20 minutes at West Ham, Arsenal fell behind. And against a Sam Allardyce-managed team, you don't want to fall behind.
But when I say we dominated the first 20 minute, I don't just mean we looked the better team. No, we held 80 percent of the possession. So perhaps that was a sign of things to come. It took a while, but oh did those things arrive.
A few minutes before the break, Olivier Giroud notched his first league goal in an Arsenal shirt. The Frenchman nudged home a Lukas Podolski cross. Jubilation for the player, relief for the fans. The second half was an end-to-end affair. West Ham came out looking determined to restore their lead and came close a number of times, but then again so did Arsenal. At least four good chances, plus a no call on what should have been a penalty for Aaron Ramsey got the fires going again. In the 77th minute, Theo Walcott put Arsenal ahead, and Cazorla sealed three points with a beautiful 25-yard drive about six minutes later.
It was a big win. There was plenty of talk beforehand about confidence and a need to rebound from that frustrating loss to Chelsea. After the match, Arsène Wenger said, "We knew today a draw was not good enough for us. We went for it... we gave absolutely everything to win the game."
The offensive effort was clear to the naked eye: great runs by Theo, strong hold-up play from Giroud and excellent crossing from Poldi. But what was more important was the work of the defense. Per Metesacker noted that "It is crucial for us that the defense is winning more games. We just try to keep that in our mind the whole year." But he also cited competition for playing time which is making the squad much stronger.
We now head into an international break, which is usually annoying and ill-timed. But this time it just might come in handy. Kieran Gibbs had to be subbed out early in the second half, and eventually had to drop out of the England squad for this week's qualifiers. Hopefully the week off will be enough for him to get fit.Several other players are nearing full fitness. Word at the beginning of the month was that Wojciech Szczesny and Tomas Rosicky needed a few weeks to get back to training so they may be close to that once league play resumes on October 20th.
Meanwhile Jack WIlshere, Emmanuel Frimpong and Bacary Sagna are inching ever closer to full fitness. Each played for the U-21s against Reading and all came out looking good. For his part, Sagna is simply thrilled to be playing again and does not have a target in mind for his full return, but he feels the right side of Arsenal's defense is in very capable hands at the moment. He raved about Carl Jenkinson's play so far this season and suggested he has everything it takes to be "one of the best." And Jenks could have company on top of the world as Thomas Vermaelen says that Wilshere "can be one of the best midfielders in the world."
Oh it will benice to have Jack back!
Of course, we all know that there is another side to international breaks. A darker side. One that leads to memories of long term injuries and of horse placenta. Those thoughts crept into our minds on Wednesday with word that Laurent Koscielny had to have his leg amputated seriously injured his knee contracted the plague had to be helped off the France training pitch after he knocked knees with Frank Ribery. But as Stateside Gooner points out, it was a false alarm from a noted orthopedic surgeon a guy with a press pass that passed along his diagnosis on Twitter before it was socially magnified. Turns out, a couple of hours later he passes a medical exam and was back in training the next day.So Koscielny will still be off with 10 other senior players plying their trade for their countries this week.
Finally, big big congratulations to the Arsenal Ladies who sealed a domestic double after beating Birmingham City Ladies on Wednesday in the Continental Cup. Kim Little sealed the 1-0 win with a stunning long range effort in the 82nd minute. Excellent work, ladies!
So no Arsenal this weekend. But if you happen to be in the UK and are looking for some football, bear in mind that Saturday is Non-League Day and fans are encouraged to go out there and take in a local game. There's even a tool to help you can find a game near whichever town, hamlet or borough you happen to be in.
So come on you Biggleswade Town Waders! Let's go you Graham Street Prims! And of course, Get in Boreham Wood FC!

In a sense, every fan is a pundit. We all produce our own version of Match of the Day in our heads when we look back on each game. And looking back on last weekend's loss to Chelsea was like reliving MOTD commentary from the last couple of seasons when the talking points were almost always focused on injuries and weakness in set pieces.
The first part of that came when Abou Diaby had to be substituted in the 17th minute after picking up a thigh injury. Shortly thereafter, before the team really had a chance to adjust, Chelsea 's Fernando Torres scored off a Juan Mata free-kick. While Gervinho's swiveling strike late in the first was the best clip for our highlight reel, the set piece came back to haunt us again in the second half.
"They had three shots on target and scored two goals, from soft set-pieces," Arsène Wenger's said after the match. "Defensively we were just not at the level you have to be in a game like that, which is where we were punished today."
Mikel Arteta agreed that Arsenal didn't defend well enough, but the midfielder was quick to dispel any notion of individual blame. "It's everyone's responsibility. You can't fault one player on that."
In addition to a collective sense of regret over team defensive play, the manager and players were also in agreement that they needed to - and would -- bounce back in the mid-week Champions League gameagainst Olympiacos. Yet there was an underlying feeling that the team suffered a hit to their confidence. It was something that stand-in manager Steve Bould noted after Wednesday's win over Olympiacos in the Champions League.
Normally a 3-1 win in Europe's top knock-out competition would be impressive and difficult to say unflattering things about. But in truth, the Greeks came to play and the final 3-1 scoreline made it look a much easier game that it was. Arsenal did not get on the scoresheet until the 42nd minute -- courtesy of Gervinho - but Olympiacos came right back to grab the equalizer just before the break. Lukas Podolsi put Arsenal ahead about 10 minutes into the second half and Aaron Ramsey sealed the three points with a lovely chip as time ticked away.
And that's where our internal MOTD steered away from years past. As Kieran Gibbs said afterwards, "You have to win like that sometimes. No game in the Champions League is easy. We showed a good test of character." Oxlade-Chamberlain noted the other difference from years past: the goals are coming from all over the pitch.
Unfortunately, the goals still aren't coming from Olivier Giroud yet. The Frenchman was downright unlucky last week, nearly scoring against both Chelsea and Olympiacos but for an excellent save by a goalkeeper and a completely unintentional block by a defender. Still, Giroud's overall play has been quite strong and he has even has picked up a couple of assists - including one on Ramsey's goal.
For his part, Ramsey has looked a different player from last season. So far he's brought plenty of energy to the pitch and has also been rather versatile, playing in both the midfield and on the wing. He says that it's just about rediscovering his form after being out for a prolonged time and shaking off the rust.
And that is something that Jack Wilshere also faces now that he is back from his 14 month ordeal. Granted, the Englishman isn't quite ready to jump in to start for the first team, but he did pick up an hour of playing time for the U-21s on Monday. Wenger says Jack has been "doing extremely well" in training butthe boss intends to exercise caution in his comeback. But considering Wenger did mention our No 10 among the other players who could get an opportunity in Diaby's absence, so maybe we could see a cameo or two in the next couple of weeks.
Looking ahead, Arsenal travel across town to play West Ham on Saturday and Sam Allardyce is sure to welcome the Gunners with a rough and tumble game. But this Arsenal side has good experience and with Giroud and Podolski up front, more size to counter the physical play that West Ham is certain to bring.Andy Carroll is likely to be their main threat, and paired with Kevin Nolan you can expect Arsenal's center halves to be busy. But hopefully, so will Jussi Jaaskelainen.
Come on you Gunners!

Re: US Yacht 25' - Are they as bad as they say?
Bucc... Thanks... The condition of the boat was in great shape but the interior was tired looking especially the cushions... everything else was the usual maintenance issues 'all' boats have... I started sanding all the varnish from the sole as seen in the photo and it's all stripped and ready for several coats of varnish but have teak oil on the sole to keep water stains from discoloring the wood... other than the mouse hair as seen in the photo I plan on making vinyl headliners/vinyl sides to cover the multitude of screws and bolts protruding the deck... might lose 1/2" of headroom but I can live with that... My biggest joy was getting rid of the Origo stove and adding the induction stove thereby getting rid of any fire sources... adding a shower would be nice but not really necessary if there are marina facilities... here is the starboard cushions I made.
There is a website for our US Yachts by one of the former Sailnet members but it is inactive for some time since he and his wife are in Japan.
Re: US Yacht 25' - Are they as bad as they say?
Thanks for your reply, it is really cool to talk with another owner who likes it. Your boat looks great, I need to replace my oval porthole windows, the white looks great. I have a 9.9 Johnson that came with the boat, I put $600 into a tune up and new throttle cables. In hindsight a new one would have been great, but it works well, lots of power. The previous owner had planned to convert the cabin into his own design and gutted original stuff. My wife made cushions, I made a floor from plywood and covered it with carpet. I stuff my sails into the v berth, the cabin I use for storage only. I will get a pic and show you what it looks like.
Re: US Yacht 25' - Are they as bad as they say?
I agree. I crewed on a friend's US Yacht 25 many times. It sailed very well, was dry and nothing broke. I wouldn't cross an ocean on it, or most other 25' production boats for that matter, but it was a good lake and coastal racer/cruiser. Enjoy!
Re: US Yacht 25' - Are they as bad as they say?
Just saw this post... great post about our little yachts... I too have a US-25 and we both (my son and I) love it... sails great, simple and easy to keep.
We did some upgrades like microwave, induction stove, fresh water hookup, new cushions/foam, new counter top, and now contemplating removing the mouse hair covering and installing marine vinyl...
She has a new Suzuki 8hp extra long shaft outboard and the combination works great.
Enjoy... naysayers of these boats know not what they say...
Re: US Yacht 25' - Are they as bad as they say?
I have a us 25 as well, it looks identical to your pic, a tiller instead of a wheel. Personally I find it easy and fun to sail.IMHO all boats have drawbacks, the 25 has a small cockpit and high freeboard. I have had hours of fun working on it and sailing it, most people like the lines of the boat, a nice look. I bought mine for about the same price,sails, motor included. For $2500 you can't go wrong.

Re: US Yacht 25' - Are they as bad as they say?
Looks like a nice boat I would go for it. Have you looked at any San Juans same year nice boat as well, Or a Captive 240 fast but tender and a nice interior as well.
Re: US Yacht 25' - Are they as bad as they say?
Ok, i found a magazine ad for the 1979 buccaneer 250. Go figure? Its sister ship is the 255 and comes with an inboard. Extra weight must be from fuels tank, exhaust, blower, and stuff like that. The 250 weighs 3750, just like the us yachts version. If you got the optional galley, then the cabin is layed out like the Us 25. Mystery solved
I cant speak of the exact model but the Buccaneers as I recall had taller topsides than the US line. I'm betting this is where the weight difference is. Keep in mind those weights are "average" as with all boats and can vary as much as 20% within the production. The buccs and bayliners may have been the same hulls but the layouts and decks were different. As also said the topsides were taller on the older models.

Re: US Yacht 25' - Are they as bad as they say?
Hi. I thought I have a US25, but now I think its a Buccaneer 255. Its a 1979 model and US yachts didnt take over til 1981. Plus it has a Volvo sail drive 50s 7.5 hp. None of the US yachts seem to have one, or Buccaneer 250s. I found the specs on the 255, but no pics. Its all is the same as the US 25 and Buc 250 except it weighs 4100 instead of 3750, and the spec said 3.5 ft draft but mine has a deep keel. I was wondering where the extra weight comes from? The sail drive weighs under 70 lbs. Does anyone know about these Buccaneer 255s. I dont think there are that many of them.
Yes but when they were Us yacht the topsides and lines changed sugnificantly as I understand it they eventually became the Triton molds before they were (are) abandoned. Yep I understand the molds still exist.
