Corned venison!!!! Another one of my favorites. I make about 50lbs a year. I wait until Dec when my attached garage stays about 40deg and make it in a cooler. My brine ingredients is about the same except I use just plain sodium nitrite cure instead of tender quick and also add a cinnimmon stick or two crushed. I mix cure and spices in cold water and pump all the chucks to 15% of their weight. I then let them soak flipping daily for a week. Nothing like corned venison and cabbage then the next day reubens with home made kraut. Another thing I did last year was toss in all the deer hearts. They corned perfectly[This is basically how I cure hams before cold smoking them for about a week. Why can't I have feral hogs to control! I am sure I wouldn't like them it if I did. /quote]
I am also fond of canning venison. I put it up in wide mouth pints which is all two people need with a couple of spuds for a meal. My father said to put a teaspoon of beef or pork fat and a teaspoon of salt in each jar but I prefer using a heaping tea spoon of a good commercial beef soup base. Don't use scraps. Cut chunks and don't pack it in, just stack it loosely. It also makes a difference how you put it in. I pack it so the muscle runs paralell to the sides of the jar so it doesn't expand on to the lid. 240 degrees in the pressure cooker for 90 minutes. I like canning fish too, especially the boney ones as the bones go away. I put a teaspoon of kosher salt in each jar and sometimes a couple tablespoons of a good brown mustard. Pressure cook the same.
All the meat off an average Florida deers ribs wouldn't fill a pint!!!
Quote from: Mbeck on October 19, 2012, 12:54:52 AMAll the meat off an average Florida deers ribs wouldn't fill a pint!!!99% of the time I would agree. Last year I shot a doe that had more fat on it than the adult buffalo that we had raised on our farm. My neighbor had been feeding them all summer long on his property. Said that I had shot his deer. :? She was good eating. Tenderloins tasted just like a good quality beef.Jim

I guess that I should post their website, too:
Murray's Gunsmithing
As delivered from the factory, SKSs come with a floating firing pin. This can cause the gun to sometimes "Machine gun" or "slam fire." This can be a dangerous situation if you are not expecting it. So Murray has made replacement springs for the SKS that avoids this problem. These new parts are "drop in" and can be done quickly and easily. Every SKS should be fitted with these new replacement parts to make these wonderful guns as safe as possible.
This "New For 2007" replacement firing pin is designed after the original Russian design. And, it fits all SKS's. Even pre-51 versions. But, with pre-51 versions you need a different spring. This is due to the hole in the bolt being drilled deeper in "later" versions. This new firing pin eliminates slam-fire and uncontrollable full-auto incidents! And, allows use of "soft primered "American" ammo, or reloads.
Seen below are Murray's NEW SS SKS Firing Pins, Firing Pin with spring for pre-'51 Russians - (center) Firing pin with spring for EVERYTHING else (top).
Murray's Gunsmithing
Murray's Gunsmithing
"Original" Russian style, newly manufactured, CNC machined and heat-treated 420 SS firing pin and "Wolff" spring are now available. Drop in fit with no alterations required. Fits early Russian, (with special shorter spring) later Russian, Chinese, Yugoslavian, Albanian, and Romanians. $37.00 includes "First Class" anywhere in the U.S. and Canada. (credit card - $39.00) [Texas residents add 6.25% tax]
"Kit" includes firing pin, spring, extra spring, written instructions and a picture to aid in installation.
And Now...NEW FOR 2013
We offer the same FP's as above except for a slight "head" design change and a lower heat treat factor. Pictured below is the version that is still 100% drop-in installation. (Item #001)
And to have the most bulletproof version we make, we offer our new Item #001M, pictured below, which requires a very small modification to your carrier. So if you are sending your bolt for FP Kit Installation, send the Carrier too, and we can machine it for this "best" version. Even with the modification, you could still go back to an original FP, should you choose to do so.

Water Can Help With Birthing - in so many ways
There are many ways water can help a woman in labour. We would love to know how water helped you in your labour and create a useful resource for pregnant women here.
Perhaps the most obvious way water can benefit a labouring woman is by using a birthing pool. A Waterbirth creates a safe, private space where a woman can labour. Many women find the warm water helps them to relax and this in turn leads to the cervix dilating more quickly and efficiently and so brings about a quicker and more comfortable labour. In this way, a Waterbirth also empowers a woman - giving her the control of her birth, in her space and without disruption.
It is important to keep well-hydrated in labour, however, sometimes women don't feel like drinking much. Instead a woman can suck on small ice cubes to cool her mouth and give her body the hydration it needs.
Ice cubes rubbed on a woman's forehead can also help to send the brain the signal of extreme cold and so divert the brain's attention from any painful contractions the woman is experiencing - dulling them and helping the woman to go more 'within herself' and find the inner strength to move through the intensifying labour.
Women (myself included) tend to become very warm in labour - it can be hard to get cool. A flannel soaked in icy cold water can provide welcome relief to a warm head and neck.
Conversely, the warm water of a powerful shower can relieve back pain and leg pain in labour. Like a birthing pool, it helps to relax a labouring woman.
Did you/ do you plan to use water in your labour? How did it help you?

Thank you.
Yes you can use water either at home, in a birth centre or in a hospital. I think the question really is where would you feel most comfortable giving birth to your baby. This is a personal choice.
There is more information on home births here. The huge advantage of having a home birth is that you are birthing in an environment that you are comfortable in and can hopefully relax in. The more relaxed you are in labour, the quicker and smoother your labour is likely to be. You are less likely to have intrusions and interruptions in your own home; allowing you to 'go within' and breathe through the contractions as your baby journeys towards you.
Jane Palmer, our wonderful midwife, writes this about home births:
'The labour unfolds at it's own pace and birth occurs in it's own time with less likelihood of complications occurring. Women are more likely to feel supported and comfortable in their own environment as they travel the birth journey.'
Do you have any further questions about home births? Many members of our forum have had home births and would be very happy to answer your questions.
Best wishes,

Just bought a real nice 92F compact, need a extra magazine, does this use a regular 92FS magazine? Terry

Just bought a real nice 92F compact, need a extra magazine, does this use a regular 92FS magazine? Terry
I believe yours is a single stack magazine, 92 is a double stack...won't work......I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.
No. There was a new batch of these 13 round 92FS Type L compacts that hit the shores in 2011... The first new batch in years. I snagged 2. Anyway, at the time, CDNN was selling the 13 round mags for $19.99... I thankfully bought like 8 of them from CDNN. They have since sold out. ONLY Beretta USA has them right now - on their website. But, they are around $40 or so each.
CDNN does sell 10 round mags for the compact, though - They are like $18 or so, last time I looked...
I' m also looking for a compact 13 rnd mag. or a pinky extension for 15 rnd mag which will fit?
hoz about a grip extension to cover up that mag--- is their such a thingy?
No, there is nothing like that. Only mag sleeve they make is for the 30 round mag.
15 round mags do not work very well, IMHO. The baseplate ends up hurting your hand as you shoot. A 20 round MDS mag works well, though (they make the factory mags for Beretta)
Thanks for the info, Just received my new 10 rnd mag. --- tried to overstuff -- is indeed a 10 rnd mag.--- question what makes it a 10 instead of the 13? swapped the 13 spring for the 10---
not the spring---???
After close examination--I'll answer my own question, the design of the body of the mag. makes a ten instead of a 13--, by caving in the sides eliminates the possibility of stacking 13. Being from Virginia and not a nazi state not appreciated.
I also own the full size 92fs, and see where design came from sorta not really . Make yah wonder where did it start. Where will it end. Got to get me a Cheetah. That new ten got probems, will see how it breaks in.

Skaggs: Mystery of the Age(s): Are you in Perimenopause?
November 25, 2012
There is a popular but natural misunderstanding that perimenopause is actually "pre-menopause." While this isn't completely untrue, it deflects the focus from a real medical condition that can last up to ten years. Among the many challenges are that a large number of different symptoms affect women over a wide age range. And let's face it: we are a goal-oriented culture so the end game appears to be menopause, defined as one full year without menstruation.
Playing detective through a set of costly tests (blood, urine and saliva) can point the way to a diagnosis, but women with so-called normal results may still be in perimenopause as hormone levels can vary widely day-to-day. Instead, diagnoses arise mainly from patient-reported symptoms and in the absence of other medical conditions. My best advice is twofold: first, women should listen to their bodies carefully and second, any woman concerned with altered menstrual patterns (especially age 40+) should take time to visit with their doctor.
Perimenopause can represent a new and unusual experience for many women. Patients generally report changes in their menstrual cycle (irregular periods: shorter/lighter, heavier/longer, spotting and more) and potentially any one or more of a wide number of symptoms, including:
> Hot/cold flashes; night sweats or other sleeping disturbances;
> Loss of libido; vaginal dryness;
> Hair loss or thinning hair;
> Mood changes/swings: depression, anxiety, memory lapses/confusion;
> Gastrointestinal distress;
> Increased frequency of urinary tract and other infections; and
> Weight gain, bloating and more.
Women in perimenopause (which can begin as early as the mid-30s) need advice and treatment tailored to their symptoms. It can range from taking birth control pills (which should really be renamed hormone-management pills), using compounded skin creams comprised of bio-identical hormones (bi-est and others which include plant-originated forms of estrogen such as estriol and estradiol) and, of course, natural alternatives such as acupuncture, black cohosh, evening primrose oil and isoflavones. Vaginal tissue, which can become delicate during this time can be improved with internally applied creams like Estrace (estradiol) or Replens, an over-the-counter vaginal moisturizer.
The reality? Whatever works best for you, works best for you. There is no single answer and, in tandem with your doctor, you can develop a treatment plan to manage symptoms. I always suggest two things to women under my care. First, let me do the worrying for you! We can find a solution together but your time spent researching on the Internet can be both productive and terrifying at the same time. Secondly, strive for balance in all things. On any given day, we take so many things into our bodies that create systemic imbalances such as plastics, environmental toxins and antibiotics, and we have to consider managing these imbalances with practical solutions like fish oils, probiotics, calcium, Vitamins C, D and E and more.
So please consider this mystery solved: perimenopause is one of many natural life phases for women. We can diagnose it and treat it with confidence together.
Dr. Kate Skaggs is a strong patient advocate, practicing obstetrics and gynecology at High Country Healthcare OB/GYN Specialists office in Frisco. Aside from traditional care, Dr. Skaggs' special interests include menopausal treatment to include options for hormonal therapy – both traditional and bio-identical; and bladder health and function. Additionally, Dr. Skaggs works with cancer survivors, particularly patients those which affect their health as a woman.

OK guys that only have floaters and want to hunt in the field....I was just cleaning out my storage room at the house and came across a dozen stands that I had made back in the late 80's for our hunts up in Canada.
When I first went up in '85, all we ever did was pothole hunting. I only had floaters, we never field hunted except for geese. I soon saw the need for field decoys but my budget didn't allow a big expenditure. SO, I made some stands (24) out of heavy gauge wire to support the floaters for field hunting as well as mud shallows. They worked great! I left them up there in our storage house at our farmer's house. I made a couple of dozen more to take up the next year but in the meantime Santa brought me 3 dozen nice field decoys and since then I've bought another dozen fields and made a dozen out of floaters where I removed the keel. These stands got lost in the junk room. Don't know where the other dozen is.
I know this isn't the place for sale items, but I'm gonna sell these for $20 bucks plus shipping if anybody wants them. The classified ad will be in the classified forum as well. I will also throw in 6 pairs of "orange legs" like you see in the pictures that I had installed on my 2nd generation floater/field conversions. The legs simply slide on the wire stand and can be adjusted anywhere along the underside of the decoy for proper placement. These work and they are steady.
I took some pics out at the farm today. I never got around to painting these, so you may want to spray them flat black or whatever matches your field.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by KGREG, Jan 13, 2010.
So... Option #1 (if we get the #1 pick): Wall, Stuckey, Gordon Option #2 (if we DONT get the #1 pick) Stuckey, Gordon, Turner Wall is the no-brainer if we get the #1 pick. Truth be told, I haven't watched much of Evan Turner. I'll have to make a habit of watching more Ohio State games.
Option #3------Stuckey, Gordon, Wesley Johnson. Turner is a triple double waiting to happen everynight, I'm a UofM Alum, so for me to acknowledge and actually hope to acquire a Suckeye should speak volumes, as much as I dislike the Suckeye's this kid can go. We have to get this right, many teams improve their lineup when they get players contibuting at all-star levels while playing on a rookie contracts, it's what allows for the cap room to land free-agents. memphis has 4 players like that, OKC has 3 players, Port has 2. It's important that we keep JJ and Daye developing, so we can do the same.
Option #4 Trade the pick for a legit big... get your PG later... each year there is 3 or 4 top notch PGs... bigs are much harder to find. Not sure there will be a better opportunity down the road. Still think Stuckey is not done maturing at the position... It's worth another year to find out.
Does anybody know anything about this kid? Hassan Whiteside | NBADraft.net I am hearing now that he could be the number 2 pick in the draft this year if he decides to come out.
The ESPN 2010 draft game is now available... I tried it 5 times... 4 times we landed Al-Farouq Aminu Give it a spin:nerd2:
FYI. It's Super Tuesday and the John Wall show is on tonight at 9PM EST, 6PM PST....on ESPN right after the Michigan-Michigan State game currently airing. Your chance to evaluate his talent then jump on the Tank bandwagon or not
Load up the tank... let's go. We're currently at 1 in 20 for the top pick 1.5 games worse and we're 1 in 5 of snagging #1. Suck it up for one year and watch the offers come in this summer... can we re-hire MC to finish the year?
hmmmmm What player out there is worthy of giving up a number one pick for? That may be available that is....
I would take Amare for a guy named Al-Farouq Aminu any day of the year.
Yeah, and why is Al messin with Aminu anyways... she's underage
Don't need a #1 pick, a top5 will bring the offers in, but to keep me from taking Wall, Turner or Wes Johnson, those offers would have to be sweeter than Southern Ice Tea. But, Wall and Turner make an already available Rip, even more available, we can take pennies on the dollar. Johnson makes AD or JJ available who can be packaged with Rip for a really sweet deal, and yes i think Wes Johnson is better than AD and JJ, although JJ does some stuff many players just won't or can't do.
The next couple weeks will tell a lot about our lotto rankings... NJ twice... Indiana, Milwaukee, Sac, Minny. May the best team lose.
So we might be able to give the Nets their sixth and seventh victories of the yeah huh..
It's good that we're playing those teams just as some of our guys are getting back. The team, not just the guys returning from injury but them too, will be out of sync. We can lose to those losers pretty easily. Then we'll still lose our fair share of games (most of them) against better competition. We need to win the ping pong derby.
Twice against the Nets? Now that is a morale crasher. Let's hope the Nets has become complacent with their huge lead.
There's a post I'd never have predicted here at PF...
This one's a good read: The Detroit Pistons are capable of a quick turnaround, similar to the 2000-2001 team | Full-Court Press - A Detroit Pistons Blog - MLive.com

As it turns out, I need to reshape some of the chest pieces slightly for a better fit.
Is it possible to heat fibreglass and then reshape it without breaking? Was thinking of heating in the oven for a few minutes to see what happens.
Probably should mention that it is already painted.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Your not going to touch more power without going to a heavy revolver or a Desert Eagle. There's the S&W Mt guns and Nightguards which will be lighter than an all steel revolver but I think the 10mm is stil a good way to go. Only advantage a revo would give is that (at least for me) while pissing down my trousers at the sight of a big bear coming at me I can't linp wrist a revo. You might look into some 400 Corbon or .45 Super conversions, not really sure how those stack up to the 10mm. Also the .50GI deserves a look but I'd be ok with some hardcast Buffalo Bore 10mm
If you want to go for heaviest hitting, light weight has to go out the window and start looking at the S&W X-Frames, Ruger Alaskans & Super Redhawks etc.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Harry and Lola
So sorry to hear about Penny's ED, hopefully with careful management she won't require surgery and with the HOD, Harry had this when he was about 6 or 7 months and it did clear up as far as I know but if I remember it took a couple of months. With both conditions, I would keep Penny's weight lean, do not over exercise her, don't allow her to jump or sprint with sudden stops. I know it is hard, but I had to completely rest Harry for weeks without exercise, I used to take him for car rides and put some of his food in treat puzzles so he had to work to get his food - exercised his brain!
It is also a good idea to give her some supplements, Glyde for dogs is a good one as it has both Glucosamine, Chondroitin and Green Lipped Mussel GLYDE® FOR DOGS
Took me 2 vets to finally get the right one, with the kitten vet I'd never go near them again and tell everyone you know about your experience - word gets around.
Also, I would let the breeder know of Penny's ED. They should take notice and consider whether to breed their bitch and/or dog again. Hopefully you will receive a good response from them and not what I experienced when I told Lola's breeder of her HD - he blamed me for it, told me I kept her too overweight (I disagree) and that I must have over exercised her so it is my fault, this infuriated me and I wrote him a very truthful letter to which he has never responded to. The reason why his blaming me made me so mad is because a couple of months before Lola was diagnosed with HD, he told me one of Lola's litter sisters owners had called him to tell him she has HD and he was really annoyed and told me he didn't believe them. Well when you have 2 litter mates ending up with HD, the likely hood of environmental issues being solely to blame is imo wrong. However, this breeder refuses to believe there is nothing wrong with the dam or sire and breed these 2 again!!!!! Anyway, tell your breeder and do not allow them to make you feel as if you have done anything wrong.
|If your pup needs the nonsteroidals on a more regular basis to decrease the pain and inflammation, you might check with your vet about giving her an H2 blocker (i.e. one of the OTC drugs like Pepcid)--I also had a dog with severe elbow dysplasia/arthritis (developed MRSA in the elbow immediately postop) who required the analgesics for quality of life and that combination worked for her for over 9 years until she died of other causes. It is my understanding that the surgery for UAP usually goes very well, and I wish you the best.
So sorry that both your pup and kitten are not 100% healthy....
Given the circumstances of the kitten....I would have her checked again .....but this time, make sure the kitten is relaxed and not acting stressed....I have seen vets jump the gun on cats who are stressed and think they have heart problems when the cat is just stressed out...one vet had my cat get an echo cardiogram he thought the heart was so bad when I worked at Penn Vet....I had to wait for over an hour in the room and by the time it was done, there was no evidence of anything wrong...it was stress that caused the erratic heartbeat. Not saying it is or isn't with your kitten but as the vet who examined her seems to be a bit.....erratic....worth rechecking....
And yes, the breeder should know about the ED....
So sorry to hear about penny. I would definitely contact the breeder and let them know what's going on.

We have elbow dysplasia and HOD
Well yesterday turned out to be an interesting day. We have been suspecting elbow/hip dysplasia in our puppy Penny as she has been limping and walking strange for a couple of weeks. Since she was due to be spayed yesterday they also xrayed her. We saw Penny's X-rays and whilst her back legs are fine (yay!) there are a couple of problems with her front legs. Elbow dysplasia and Hypertrophic Osteodystrophy. The HOD (inflammation in the growth plates in her wrists for those who don't know what it is....I didn't) is in both wrists and also explains why she has been sleeping more and off her food lately. Apparently it should clear on it's own (though could take weeks). We are going to try anti inflammatories to help but only every second day as they upset her tummy.
As for the elbow dysplasia she has the UAP kind (Ununited Anconeal Process....the growth plate that should have fused by now hasn't). This is in the left elbow and may require surgery to pin it back together. For now he wants to see if the HOD clears up and if the lameness then goes away. He wants to re xray in a month. He doesn't seem too fussed about surgery unless Penny actually shows any symptoms that can be associated to the UAP and not the HOD. Not sure what I think about this (there is a very definite gap on the X-ray...surely it needs fixing??) but I guess we'll be seeing him again in a month and Penny is still young. Does anyone think I should let the breeder know about the elbow dysplasia? Does anyone else have experience with UAP and could give me your opinions on surgery or just any general information? Any experience with HOD?
Also (just because I need to vent) whilst Penny was under anaesthetic at one vets, I was at another vets facing another drama. You see I recently took Amy to this vet to be bathed etc. Whilst there I fell for a beautiful little kitten up for adoption. I was hooked. The next day we paid $173 for what I believed was a vet checked kitten who had been wormed etc and microchipped, as well as that cost covering her next vaccination and sterilization. So even though we had decided we weren't as keen on this vets anymore and had moved Penny to another, I need to stay with them for Amy (the kitten) till the vacc and sterilization have been done since they are already paid for. So I take her in for the vacc but first the vet listens to her heart, and listens and listens, then scoops her up looking guilty and rushes off to see her boss. It seems Amy has a heart murmur! The vet wants her boss to come see me but it seems she is "too busy" but she sends the message back that it wasn't there when she first checked Amy therefore they aren't financially liable. Like she can remember back that far!! The vet looked very apologetic and guilty. Amy is supposed to be sterilized soon but that may need to be delayed if she has a heart problem. So the boss was meant to ring me back yesterday with a plan (ie when do we re check tho she is 5 months old now so it's unlikely to go away, do we ultrasound and do we delay the spaying). I have heard nothing! So not happy.
So as a first time pet owner we have had rotten luck with both our pets. Apparently ED is more common in males and Penny is female and heart murmurs aren't common and less so in cats than dogs. Needless to say these may be our first and last pets.
Thanks for listening,

No single product category can meet with the fat and performance requirements of all of the electric vehicle (EV) components simultaneously. Reducing the weight of transport vehicles that operate on interior combustion machines (ICEs) is becoming increasingly relevant in modern times as a route to reduced gas consumption and emissions. Light weight can also be a target of EV developers as it escalates the notably limited range that is driving recharging is necessary. Understanding are drawn from the many years of research on ICE-powered cars, but key distinctions exist in design constraints as well as in crash behaviours. Principal target is yet another 20 % reduction in fat beyond the 30 % decrease in body-in-white (BiW) fat already achieved by other projects. BiW describes the car human body or shell after it is welded but prior to it being painted. Extra and goals that are equally important to lessen time-to-market and development costs, enhance product freedom, extend the lifetime of major components and decrease life-cycle expenses. The approach centres on revolutionary materials and their respective installation procedures. The combination of new simulation and testing abilities covers production, use and crash scenarios. With all the tools for development and screening in position, the group has reached its preliminary conceptual design regarding the complete automobile. The design will be turned into a full-scale demonstrator of the lightweight multi-material strategy during the upcoming months.

Alec Baldwin apologizes to NY gay group for tweetsAP , Associated Press
Jun. 28, 2013 11:33 PM ET
NEW YORK (AP) — Alec Baldwin has apologized to a New York City-based lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights group for a series of tweets that could be interpreted as homophobic.
Baldwin's messages were directed at a newspaper reporter who accused his wife of tweeting during the funeral for the former star of "The Sopranos" James Gandolfini (gan-dahl-FEE'-nee). Baldwin says in a letter to GLAAD posted on its website Friday his tweets didn't have anything to do with "issues of anyone's sexual orientation."
The former "30 Rock" star says he's done political work with marriage equality groups and insists he wouldn't advocate violence against someone for being gay.
GLAAD spokesman Rich Ferraro says Baldwin's language was improper and his tweets didn't reflect his "history of actively supporting LGBT equality."

text: Hi all, greetings from upstate NY, the land of corrupt politics, high taxes and curtailed personal freedom. I stumbled on this site recently, and thought it would be interesting to become a part of TDH. I'm really new to all this, but I'm eager to learn from what seems to be a lot friendly, knowledgeable people. Looking forward to some great interaction. Frank


text: I am a fairly new teacher and have recently started teaching adults in a very expensive school. They pay a fortune for their lessons and as a result can be very demanding and picky. I am finding this difficult to deal with and am getting very frustrated with it. Before teaching at this particular school I was teaching working adults who were a lot more down to earth and friendly. The students at the present school seem to think they are 'special' and that they deserve constant attention. I teach classes of around 12-15 students so giving each one of them my undivided attention is impossible. In one particular class three students are constantly asking me questions throughout the class and after the class which are unrelated to the topic I have been teaching. This not only annoys the other students but puts constant pressure on me. I get the feeling that because they are paying so much money they think it entitles them to pester me constantly. I am really feeling fed up. I spend so much time preparing for these classes as well as marking homework and attending to other admin tasks. I get very little pay considering the amount of work I put in and I'm feeling that I am giving a lot more than I'm getting back. Thanks

A piece of Lakeview history may be history
LAKEVIEW — A 117-year-old piece of history prominent in Lakeview's downtown area is in trouble.
Montcalm County Building Department Director Scott Minard has condemned the Lakeview Inn at 333 S. Lincoln Ave. He labeled the building as "dangerous and unsafe."
County Treasurer Marcia Sawdy also is foreclosing on the building because because of unpaid taxes.
The Lakeview Inn occupies a brick building erected in the heart of the village's downtown area in 1894. The building features upstairs apartments and a downstairs bar and restaurant.
Lee Tanis holds the ownership title for the building through Tanis Investment LLC in Grand Rapids. Andrea Rawson currently has a land contract with Tanis.
Tanis and Rawson applied for a liquor license transfer early this summer, according to Lakeview Village Manager James Freed. All liquor transfer requests require a building inspection, according to state law. Freed asked Minard to conduct an inspection.
Minard inspected the building and condemned it June 7 due to "severe deterioration of the exterior of the structure and lack of maintenance." Minard gave Tanis 30 days to correct the situation.
Tanis obtained a building permit to correct the violations July 14. However, only minimal work was done at the site. Also, that work was not in compliance with masonry standards or state construction code, according to Minard.
He inspected the property again Oct. 3 and found more violations, including:
• An insufficient number of smoke detectors in the upstairs apartments where people lived.
• Egress components being locked or blocked, making them insufficient for use.
• "Hazardous" electrical work out of compliance with state code.
Minard gave Tanis 10 days to remove the tenants from the building. Minard said the building would be secured and no one would be allowed to use or occupy the property beginning Oct. 15.
Yet, several people were seen entering and exiting the building Friday afternoon.
Minard said Tanis has only done "a couple of hours of work" on the building since it was condemned. Minard said repairing it to meet building codes would be costly.
"It is a hazard and the cost to properly repair it is not feasible for the value of the building," he said. "It has been let go too long."
Tanis could not be reached for comment. Rawson did not return repeated messages seeking comment.
Rawson was planning to use the building for a St. Baldrick's Foundation fundraiser earlier this month but had to cancel the event days before it was scheduled due to the condemnation order.
Minard authorized the village of Lakeview to take necessary steps and precautions to secure the building and make the property safe and secure to protect the health, safety and welfare of the occupants and the general public.
"It's a historic landmark," Freed said. "It's disappointing that it's come to this, but we're obligated to keep our community safe. This building is dangerous."
Additionally, the Lakeview Inn has a total of $11,885.95 in delinquent taxes dating back to 2009, according to Montcalm County Treasurer Marcia Sawdy. She is in the process of foreclosing on the Lakeview Inn and will do so by next spring if the 2009 taxes are not paid.

Why is there so much resistance to election automation?
It began in Congress, which passed the law with only one dissenting vote. Then the guys who delivered one million vote majorities to GMA in the House started opposing it. Which makes me suspect they don't control one million votes.
Funny, I thought your committee report on Hello Garci whitewashed the whole thing.
Five House committees that heard the "Hello Garci" wiretapping controversy have adopted a final report, practically clearing former commissioner Virgilio Garcillano of the alleged rigging of the 2004 elections.
But while the report mentioned an opposition conspiracy to unseat President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, it also briefly questioned the administration's attempt to cover up the scandal.
"Malaca�ang was clearly at an utter loss to explain the tapes and, on at least one occasion, attempted a cover-up," said the report, which pointed to inconsistencies in presidential spokesman Ignacio Bunye's statements.
Bunye had said there were two compact discs -- one version spliced and the other original -- that contained conversations between Arroyo and "Gary", initially said to be a political officer of the Lakas party.
In sum, the report said: "A conspiracy clearly existed to topple the President by embarrassing her with the so-called Garci tapes, but on the other hand, the administration could not and would not confront the tapes, and contributed nothing towards arriving at the truth about them, but on the contrary attempted a cover-up."
So, did the 1 million vote padding happen, or did it not? Here's a list of names who authored the report:
The committees behind the report are: public information, under Rep. Emmylou Talio-Santos of North Cotabato; suffrage and electoral reforms, chaired by Representative Teodoro Locsin Jr. of Makati City; public order and safety, under Rep. Amado Espino of Pangasinan; national defense and security, under Rep. Jose Solis of Sorsogon; and information and communications technology, under Rep. Simeon Kintanar of Cebu.

Ma'am: Yes; lets do it. Find us a 'farm' centrally located with 'good people owners', and do a country get together. Uwharrie has too much going on for a "shoot in" For me 'what the heck' anywhere, and I've got some folks who'll drag along.
I was thinking about it here today. We mentioned something in the NC Roll Call about the NC people meeting mid-state for a shoot or something. Is anyone actually up for something like that? And if so, suggestions on meeting places?
Ma'am: Yes; lets do it. Find us a 'farm' centrally located with 'good people owners', and do a country get together. Uwharrie has too much going on for a "shoot in" For me 'what the heck' anywhere, and I've got some folks who'll drag along.
Does anyone have a plot of land, maybe mid state, that they are willing to share with some board members for a day? Or possibly know of a range who would be willing to take us on (and preferably allows rifles as well)?
I dont know the area too well cause I am still getting acclimated, but definitely count me in! Saturday better than Sunday - but could still probably make it after church on a Sunday.
If we can get enough people together and we find a decent place that won't break everyone in gas money to reach, we may actually get this together. I'll have to plan it about a month out from whenever we get a good count, though, so me and others can make sure we're not working.
Well I am thinking about having a get to gather in June at my house. Plenty of room to shoot and have a cookout. I know I am not in the center of the state but the land is here and at no cost to anyone but me and that is house payment.
Sweet. If you go for it, let me know when you can about a date so I can put in for the time off.
tony: Mark me down for three or four. From charlotte
What do we need to bring beside food, drink, and bodies.
Sounds like a shooting blast.
tony: Sir; targets it'll be.
Sir; what ?distances? available for firing.
1-300yds or handgun range.
We have ammo, and I'll have targets. and more ammo
oh bye the way. Thanks
Max is 75 yards, mountians get in the way like that, visit the gallery feature and you will see the set-up. It proves I am not a redneck because rednecks shoot out the back door I use the whole front yard.
What kind of food and drink can we supply?
Haven't got that far into planning yet. Finding out if people will come, then will offer several dates find out which will work out best. Then will get into foods, drinks, and times. It will be family acceptable format. This area offers plenty to do for family members who don't want to shoot or hang out while shooting is happening. We have even stuped to having a Karokee machine on the hillside for those who wish to publicly humilate themselves.
toney: Sir; we live in the city, my wife is a 'Martha Stewart" type
Would I be considered a redneck cause I grew some mighty fine tomatoes in my front yard Neighbors enjoyed picking and eating.
Needless to say. she weren't to happy with me
Dang I guess I've been sleeping. Count me in for sure.

Last year, another survey saw that figure jump to nearly 50 percent. You can pay a virtual visit to NARA's exhibits at <archives.gov/ national-archives-experience>.

favorite place to hit the trails on your sled
a couple friends and i all took off from christmas to new years.
we will be on our sleds come hell or high water.
we ride the houghton lake/grayling area alot.
we ride the oscoda/glennie area when the snow permits it.
we prefer to see something new.
im leaning towards the u.p. but its not set in stone.
any suggestions on where to go?
id like to go to the porkies, is it worth it?

I would suggest you hit up the UP!! If you have never been up there before you will be in for a trip. I really like it up around the Keweenaw Peninsula. There are some good trails and some great scenery up there.

Cadillac trails are good and I also like the Millersburg trail up by Onaway.
We usually ride from grayling northwest towards the Jordan Valley, that is where most of the snow fall in the lower.
The bombing range in Grayling is always good even if the trails are not.
The UP is cool but its alot like a highway, not what the lower is like. Our trip to Drummond Island was fun. But I have not been up around Keewenaw and would like to.

have ridden the jordan valley extensively.(been there done that)
i know very little about the caddilac trails, other than its hard to get to from houghton lake. all the trails are south of caddilac. coming in from the north is lot of pavement, unless you find some back road around the city.
i lived in the u.p. for about 6 years. rode alot there. on the south west side near escanaba. mostly rode on little bay de noc, or the fire roads inside the big burn by rapid river.
have not been on drummond on a sled since i rode on my dads gas tank of his 72 puma. been ther in my jeep a handful of times though.
caddilac and the u.p. are good options. rode from newberry to grand marais and back last season. it was a nice trail system.
seney, keewanaw, and tahquamenon falls are options too.
i heard there was a rails to trails system from grand rapids to caddilac. anyone ridden it yet?

Have you ridden around Black Lake and Onaway? The Millersburg trail is nice, is goes by Oqueoc Falls and is pretty winding and scenic.
Just trailer to Cadillac, easy drive then ride.

My fav is a wednesday ride out of manton trail head.The trails are usually beat by friday night,on any good trail system,in the Lp,the groomers cant keep up.We try to ride wed,thurs,fri and leave when every one is showing up fri night. The groomers have all day monday and tuesday to make the trails smooth and fast for us,with hardly any traffic during the week,it's great.Check out ranch rudolf for some grub,it's a really cool place.
The UP is awsume,if you want to put on some miles,it cant be beat,Im just getting older,and dont feel the need to put 10,000 miles on a sled every couple years.

Im leaning towards the u.p. the grand marais area was real nice last season.
I want to see more of the area.
I will also check out caddilac at some point this season.
We have wanted to go there for a while, we just never make it.
100 miles a day, and sometimes a short ride at night(the bombing range) is plenty for me.
200 miles a day makes me really sore.

I like riding anywhere! I'll be off for at least a month starting Dec 8th., and probably longer. I'm always up to ride with anyone, pretty much anywhere. I ride around Williamsburg/Kalkaska/TC/Fife Lake/Lake City/Gaylord a lot since I can connect to the trail system riding from home. I really like the trails around Munising, and the trail from Marquette to Big Bay is fun as well. Keweenaw is great too, but is a long drive for a weekend trip. I like to make it at least a four day weekend. Grand Marais is excellent too, but Chistmas time is usually VERY busy as they are usually the first to have good snow.
If anyone is looking for someone to ride with, let me know, I'm almost always game. I don't mind riding 20 miles or 300 miles. Fast or slow doesn't matter much either, I'm good either way.

I live in higgins lake so I ride around here a lot, spend a lot of time in Camp grayling fun off trail stuff. I also like the ride from here to Lewiston and nothing beats a Talley burger. Outside of riding around here, Grand Marais is my spot, Sunset Cabins is the place to stay.

I've enjoyed the trails around Lewiston as well.
I almost always ride with my pack nowdays, never know when I'll decide to say F' it and go another hundred miles and get a hotel or bum a couch instead of turning around and heading for the truck!

I always enjoyed St Ignace when there was enough snow that far south. The railroad grade out to trout lake can be fun, then you can hit newberry, seney, soo st marie, paradise. if the railroad trail is melted you can trailer out to castle rock road or trout lake to unload. the trails south of M28 see much less traffic, and the towns (germfask, curtis, epouffette, naubinway, cut river, etc) are pleased to have you. Very nicely maintained as well.

Yes, I think. I think the felch grade is known as snowmobile trail 16. Take trail five north from the north end of Trail 16. Five will take you pretty much all the way up, then you'll take another short trail into town.

Legacy Field opens to a packed house
GREENVILLE — There were tents, grills, food, music and more. That was just before the game.
Fans from both Greenville and Belding arrived early and were ready for the annual rivalry between the two longtime rivals, with the buzz as big as a college football game.
By kickoff time, the stands were packed on both sides in purple and gold and black and orange. The concourse served as overfill or for those looking for a better line of sight across Greenville football's newly built home — Legacy Field.
In the end, the opening night of varsity football at Legacy Field was a success for the host school in more ways then one. The fans in the stands enjoyed the atmosphere and amenities. On the field, the Yellow Jackets played a solid game of football enroute to a 43-12 victory over the Redskins.
"It was almost overwhelming. There was just so much going on," Greenville Athletic Director Brian Zdanowski said. "We got everyone in and I don't think there were any major glitches. All in all, it was a great night."
Greenville fans Norm and Mary Ostrom enjoyed their time at the game.
"It was pretty nice. It was great," Norm Ostrom said. "It was a great way to open the stadium. It was a fun game."
They weren't the only to have a good time at Legacy Field. Zdanowski heard nothing but compliments.
"Everyone liked the detail in the stadium and what we brought from the past and incorporated," Zdanowski said. "They really appreciated the work we did for the kids."
After the game, the Yellow Jackets marching band played the school's fight song one final time. The fans were then treated to an outstanding fireworks display to celebrate both the new stadium and the team's first win at Legacy Field and the 2012 season.
Near the gas-fueled bonfire pit, students sang and danced and ate pizza in celebration.
Fans slowly filed out of the stadium into a sea of cars. Many parked in the surrounding neighborhood and others walked from home.
School isn't in session, but Legacy Field got a passing grade in every aspect of a high school football game.
Greenville's next home game is Sept. 7 against Thornapple Kellogg. The night will be dedicated to the Greenville's inaugural Hall of Fame class. The Redskins, meanwhile, will play Thursday, at their new facility, Rudness Field, against Lakewood.

|thats not exactly true seen a site where a guy modified the valve body, and a few other mods I think. and its fully manual now. no electronic PCM control needed. seen a kit for a add on for a vacuum modulation, that controls pressure instead of PCM and throttle position. I just wondering if it will function for light driveing with manual shifting, without the electronic controls, PCM throttle position. or if it can be done using switches and appling the proper voltage to shift for temp use. tell I can get my 4L60 rebuilt. and upgraded. the 5 pinion sun gears,sun shell, new input housing that allows the use of the commerical red 9 disc alto kit with full thickness steels ( check Patc raptor trans.) and reverse drum for wider band use. and maybe the newer sprangs cann't remember if i upgraged them over ten years ago when I went throught it. with just the stock commerical kit 9 disc red alto's and real thin steels. just not long life with heavy hard use. quated as not for towing. used mine for towing and everything else. real hard use. not good for the thin steels in that kit. but like I said was wondering if it would function by manually shifting as it has the shift control. and its a 94 LT1 4l60E not the newer drive by wire models. and thoughs stand alone PCMs are starting at over 500 dollars the last red alto kit that I put in a relative 94 S10 blazer with uprgaded to v-8 specs was about 4 years ago and the full rebuild kit only cost about 250. why would I pay 500 for a stand alone PCM kit only to rip it back out later after rebuilding mine. the upgrade parts might cost more but i could just do another 9 disc red alto kit
|The e stands for electronic. You need the electronics. You can get a stand alone computer for it.
using a 4L60E
i was wondering will a 4L60E work, function, shift manually, drive, without the electronics hooked up. I have a 88 chev, with a 700R4-4L60 that died one first gear right now. but have access to a 4L60E, for real cheap. basically free to use till I can get mine rebuilt(part of a package deal on 2 LT1 motors with trans that bought in with a friend. he says just throw it in it should work just fine. nut I'm unsure and hesitant to do it if it won't function at all. but don't have a stand alone wiring harness or PCM mopdule right now. and might be a while before I can get one. this was a daily driver, that I need to get back on the road. and dont' want to strip it down for internal parts. ( not that I can't do it have rebuilt many tranny manual and automatic. and 700R4's to 4l60E's and one 4T60E. but want to use it later with the LT1 on a project vehicle with the freind (part street-drag car). any comments or thoughts could you manually control it using voltage inputs and switches. anyone got a good complete electrical wiring diagram. or know where i can get one or download it to see if it could be done.

I go every five years for that, and every six months for mammograms. If it keeps me healthy and I don't die at 65 like my father from colon cancer it's a small price to pay.

Premier League
Emirates Stadium
February 11, 2007
Today's FreezeFrame takes us back to Arsenal's first season at their new home.
Unsurprisingly, Arsène Wenger's players took time to find their feet after swapping the old comforts of Higbury for the state-of-the-art Emirates Stadium with a fair number of points dropped at the back end of 2006.
But 2007 started brightly and continued in the same vein with Arsenal unbeaten in nine matches in all competitions - a run that included a late turnaround against Manchester United plus nine goals in two domestic cup wins at Liverpool.
Wigan's visit would extend that run to 10, but the Latics could - and perhaps should - have caused a shock.
Denny Landzaat produced a first-half bolt from the blue that flashed past Jens Lehmann and suddenly Arsenal were left chasing a game they had largely controlled.
Time ebbed away and with ten minutes left Wenger's side needed a repeat of that United game when Robin van Persie and Thierry Henry scored late to turned the game on its head.
That's exactly what happened.
Fitz Hall was the fall guy, putting past his own keeper to level the scores. And Tomas Rosicky popped up five minutes from time with a rare goal to snatch all three points.
Arsenal went on to finish fourth behind champions Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool - but ahead of Tottenham. As for Wigan, they survived by the skin of their teeth.
Our FreezeFrame image shows Henry and Emmanuel Adebayor converging on Hall as he beats Chris Kirkland and kick-start the turnaround.
Arsenal team: Lehmann, Hoyte (Flamini, 67), Toure, Djourou (Adebayor, 51), Clichy, Gilberto, Baptista, Fabregas, Walcott (Aliadiere, 67), Rosicky, Henry. Subs not used: Almunia, Denilson.

Click for "Microbes After Hours" videos
Nate writes:
Hi my name is Nate. I am a senior in high school aspiring to become a microbiologist. I heard about this podcast through a class I took on biotechnology and have been listening for about 2 months. I really enjoy it and the other two shows even if I don't quite understand everything you talk about, but I grasp most things. So a few weeks ago I attended a biotechnology summer academy for high school students where we study one certain topic for three weeks with a professor at the college it was at. My subject was about the microbes that make up the stromatolites in the Great Salt Lake and why it's important that we understand it. I learned that they are made of Cyanobacteria and certain types of archea. The Cyanobacteria don't really make sense because they don't have a very high salinity tolerance, especially as high as the GSL which is 33% at parts of the lake. But yet they are there. I also learned that the rock is formed by the waste of the microbes which is calcium carbonate. These rocks have the potential to help with global warming. I'm not saying that I agree with the idea of global warming or not, but it is happening a little bit. So that brings up the question, Can we harvest and "grow" these rocks in a lab until they are big enough to put into the wild to "catch" some of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere? I would like to hear your input on this subject as I didn't have a lot of time at the academy to study it. Thanks
[I asked Hazel Barton, here is her reply]
Actually this is a pretty good question and a number of folks have thought
about microbial CO2 sequestration in just this way.
Many of the carbonate rock deposits (limestone) from about 360+ million
years ago were formed during high periods of CO2, and we believe the CO2
was sequestered as rock by microbial activity. It dropped the atmospheric
CO2 levels and preserved it in a form that is obviously stable over
geologic time scales.
The problem we have today is the ion. To precipitate CO2 as carbonate,
you need a divalent ion. In the ancient oceans, there was plenty of
calcium around, so it was deposited as calcium carbonate (limestone).
Unfortunately, that easy source of calcium has been exhausted, so the
problem comes in generating the ion for the carbonate to precipitate. It
takes quite a bit of energy to do synthetically, so there's no net loss of
greenhouse gases. If someone could come up with a handy ion, generated
from a more passive process (such as decomposition in garbage), then we
could certainly sequester CO2 this way.
A good PhD project!
The stromatolite question is quite a bit more complicated and has to do
with the saturation index of carbonates in seawater when the CO2 levels
drop (from photosynthesis) - I can elaborate on that more if you need, but
the ion is still problematic.

Fuel ethanol and other low molecular weight compounds can also be produced by autotrophic anaerobic fermentation of syngas. Syngas is a mixture of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen produced by pyroclastic treatment of a wide variety of organic material including ligno-cellulose, recycled tires, sewage sludge, and natural gas or methane. These reactions have been studied for many years and are being commercialized by Coskata. www.coskata.com.
Never underestimate the ability of microbes to scrounge a living from nearly any environment with water and energy available.

Hello TWiM team! Thank you for the hours of entertainment and education you provide. I have a somewhat morbid question for you that's fairly random--I forget what inspired it exactly--but it has been bugging me: normally when an animal dies, it decays, but what happens if that animal is totally free from all microbes? So, what happens if a germ-free mouse dies in a sterile environment and no one disposes of it for a while? Does it decay somehow, or just dry out maybe?
Thanks again for all you do,

Will the President Share His Most Recent Personal "Letter" with Voters?
posted at 11:22 am on August 5, 2011 by Howard Portnoy
In the first week of his presidency, Barack Obama announced that each day he would read ten of the thousands of letters he received at the White House. The goal, in the words of then-Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, was "to help get him outside of the bubble, to get more than just the information you get as an elected official."
Obama even read some of these letters aloud at town halls and other highly publicized meetings. Apart from being good PR for a man who ran as an über-populist, the gesture helped him sell his more contentious policies. For example, in February of 2010, at the height of the health care reform debate, the president read a letter from an Ohio woman who was frustrated with the rising cost of health care.
It is hard to know if the president still has time to read ten letters a day, but one can only hope he does. As former senior adviser and current campaign manager David Axelrod told the press in February of 2009,
[Obama's] greatest concern is getting isolated in the White House, away from the experiences of the American people … The letters impact him greatly.
At the very least, let us hope he received the missive on Tuesday from an ordinary Joe, a working stiff. Granted the message didn't reach the president via the White House Correspondence Office and it wasn't in writing, but its arrival was such that the president could hardly have missed it.
A man by the name of James Dirk Crudup jumped the White House fence because he can't find a job in the current economy. According to 9NewsNow, a DC station, Crudup hoped he would be shot by police because he feels like a deadbeat dad:
Any real man would want to provide for their children and in today's economy it is so hard that especially when you have labors you cannot make those achievements and the ridicule that I received and feel, you can't imagine.
The White House was locked down for nearly two hours after Crudup scaled the north side fence around at 7:35 p.m. He was taken into custody and his backpack scrutinized for explosives. None were found.
The 41-year-old Crudup has been living with a friend while he looks for a job. He says he is a handyman and went to a technical school to learn about electrical work. He also has a real estate license.
His story is very much the story of America after two and a half years of an Obama presidency. Crudup, moreover, is the ideal candidate for one of the president's gut-wrenching anecdotes. He is a member of the working class and feels his country has turned its back on him. He is also black. Why has the president not taken time off from his weeklong birthday celebration to share James Crudup's story?

text: He can say attack the basket, and if they don't listen he can say it again, and again, etc. This same group attacked the basket, and got easy scores way more under LB. If it's what their comfortable with, it's Flip's job to break the habit. Also my problem with the offense goes way beyond that (ISO's ball movement) lack of penetration. Kinda OT to the thread though so i'll stop talking about it.
