I have a CZ Rami 9mm in the alloy frame. It's got 950 rds through it so far and has been a fun gun to shoot. It jammed on me 3 times in the first 100 rds with reloads so I stick with WWB and Remingtons now. It has yet to jam on me with factory ammo. My only complaint with the gun are the sights. I wish they were real night sites instead of the glow in the dark paint. Also you will need the XD Pearce extension if you're going to use the 10 rd mags. I tried to shoot with my pinky hanging off the gun and it never felt comfortable to me. The extension makes this gun a pleasure to shoot. I prefer the alloy frame over the polymer, it just feels better to me. I also like the fact that you can change the grips.
I wouldn't get the Rami in .40SW. There are too many people having problems with theirs for me to gamble my money on one.


text: I'm running into a bit of a probelm; I've got my girth belt (it's the centaur mohair one) and it's got the 4 buckles, two per side. I've looked at the back pictures I have of an ESB Fett; I can see there is some kind of strap connecting the two sides, but for the life of me i can't figure out how they are doing it. Can anyone explain how this belt is connected, or even better, post a pic of it?

The Fair Grove Branch Library will be closed Monday, June 19, through Monday, June 26, for carpet replacement and shelf rearrangement.
This postcard, published by Browne Book and Stationary Co., is postmarked
1908. It shows a huge crowd on the parkland surrounding the lake.
Across the water can be seen a beautiful white wooden bridge. Couples
are shown boating and canoeing. The eastern slope of the park is
full of picnic tables. This is Doling Park when it was the center
of entertainment in Springfield. During its heyday, from 1907 to
1929, the park sometimes contained over 100 buses of people from

Been tinkering as usual. This time still working on perfecting the color for "harvest gold". I've got a couple of friends who'll fly up and join us in Canada and we needed a couple of extra layout blinds. We primarily hunt wheat & barley fields as well as peas when we can find the geese feeding there.
I found a 'bargain' on some adult hula skirts a while back that were the plain color and I have continually dyed a skirt or two to touch up other camo blinds, dog blinds, & layouts. We'll mud the blinds and then raffia them in the morning using this raffia that I dyed this week. I think I'm getting pretty close to what I'm looking for and at the outside chance I'll get some "constructive critisism (ie, bs) thought I'd see what you think of the color. I used Amarillo Yellow, bathed the raffia for about 3 minutes in it then put several drops of Tan color in to darken to the goldish brown color. Actually darker in real.
Am I close?

Those strands are about 54" long and looped over a string which I cut on each side of the loop to release two 54" pieces of grass. I usually put 4 strands with about 4 strands of dark brown and 2 strands of natural together for a bunch then do the same kind of loop on the blind to secure the grass.

Here is my problem, working on a 1982 Chevy S10 pickup. It has a 2.8l V6 engine with no frills added. But I decided to replace the ignition parts, distributor and rotor, wire set, plugs and coil. The original coil was GM OE, black thing with four male connectors. I bought a Mallory coil (red color) which was compatible with the model. There was a difference in the connection though, it had four female connections, so I had to get a new connector plug from junkyard car. I spliced the original wires to the plug, the truck started and ran for a few minutes the up a stopped. Now it will not start. I. Have searched the web, YouTube, Ask etc. even went to the Mallory site to get a diagram of the wire connections need, can't find what I want.I have done tests on the new coli compaired to old, get about .4 ohms on the primary and 8900 ohms on secondary coils, have 12V on pin 1' there is a kind of pink (heavy gage) wire on pin 1, a white wire on pin 2 going to the distrutor, pin 3 is a white ground wire, and. Brown wire on pin 4 going to the distributor also. So I have energy going in but No spark out....Pin configuration:(back of engine). Pin 3 white wire ground. X. X. Pin 1. Heavy. Gage pink wire with 12V Pin 4 brown wire to Dis. X. X pin 2. Regular gage white wire to Dis.From one search I saw, it said pin 2 and pin 3 was the primary coil. Measures about 4 ohms.From coil to dis post and pin 1 or 4 even 3. Get a reading of about 9k ohms.What should be connected where?..
let me explain the factory wiring...big red wire to the positive side of the external coil... but the other wire from the positive side of the coil connects to the ignition module B+ terminal via the wiring harness..the wire from the Negative side of the coil connects to the module C terminal via the wiring harness..and an interesting test to perform.. connect a test light to the big red coil positive wire... ground the other end to the engine.. i normally when i can set the test light up backwards so i can see the test light from the drivers seat... i then turn the key from OFF to ON.. and then crank the engine and then release the key back to the ON position.. then turn it off.. this will take you about 2 minutes to complete the hook up and test.. why... because i have found many IGNITION SWITCHES.. not just GM .. that had intermittent contacts and caused owners and mechanics headaches.. from the ON position, while cranking.. and back to the ON position.. you should NOT have any blackouts of your test light..
if you are looking at wiring diagrams.. like this one.. ITS DRAWN WRONG... look at the right side of the image.. its shown as the the pink wire from the ignition switch to the coil as going thru the windings.. but it should actually be shown as a jump from the same side of the primary coil winding.. not the far side.. this is enough to confuse all kinds of people..

I don't know if it relates to a number of posts or to a period of time. Hang in there, it shouldn't be very long. I think the general rule of thumb is 3/4 capped but apparently you can have frames fully capped that are still too wet and conversely you can have frames that aren't capped at all which are at an acceptable moisture level. The best way to tell is by using a refractometer, I'm just looking in to these myself.And welcome to the forum by the way.
A refractometer is used to measure how much light bends (refracts) when it passes through a different medium eg. passes from air through a solution. They are used in all sorts of applications but you can get ones that are calibrated to read the moisture content of honey. Try searching refractometer from the main page here for more info. There are a number of them on ebay if you want to see what one looks like. http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p3907.m570.l1313&_nkw=refractometer%2C+honey&_sacat=See-All-Categories

Yes, when I saw Barky for the first time on TV in 2004, knew he was just a slick little conman commie.
I don't think Obama is personally that slick,he just has good handlers and they tell lots of lies. Without a teleprompter he cannot give a coherant speech.

I'll let you know in a couple days! Mine should be here by Wednesday.
My overall thought process went like this:
The regular USP fit me very well, for an increase of about 200 bucks I got the match triger, different sights, better case with cleaning kit, different barrel with O-rings etc. The threaded barrel allows me to get a suppressor when I want, without having to change barrels later.
Would have cost a lot more than 200 bucks to upgrade everything to the Tactical and I still would just have a clone and not a genuine HK pistol.
Regarding how they shoot and perform, typical HK, which basically means perfection Though I'm biased.

Accoding to the China Daily, President Hu Jintao, has a long telephone conversation with President Bush in which the Chinese leader explained to the American what really is going on in the world. Hu made certain Bush understod the protestors in Tibet were like those wild violent hippy protestors against the Vietnam War figuring George would shake his head in agreement. Hu made clear his government has tried desperately to maintain friendly relations with the separatist, violent Dalai Lama but he refuses to cooperate. He said China was willing to discuss the situation with the Dalai Lama if he would only cease urging an independent nation. Hu expressed appreciation for Bush's support of China in opposing Taiwan declaring its independence. Bush made clear he would be at the Olympics and he would oppose any effort to have the games cancelled. After all, he has free tickets and they are in a good location so why blow the freebie.
Please let me make clear, the above is NOT FACTUAL but is manufactured by my brain since the China Daily never told its readers exactly what were the responses of George Bush.

Murdoch: "You can't kill The New York Times"
Blog ››› ››› KARL FRISCH
As Media Matters investigative reporter Joe Strupp noted Monday, "[t]he battle is on" between Rupert Murdoch's Wall Street Journal and the New York Times:
The Wall Street Journal launched its new 'Greater New York' section today with all the fanfare of a political campaign kick-off.
Taking over the grand ballroom of The Plaza Hotel in Manhattan, the Journal feted dozens of guests with a breakfast of bagels, quiche, coffee, Danish and other goodies. Large screens in the room promoted the new section's name, while top guns Les Hinton, CEO; Robert Thomson, managing editor; and Michael Rooney, chief revenue officer, headlined the event.
As the New York Observer's John Koblin writes in a post on the Media Mob blog, later Monday evening Murdoch downplayed the WSJ's ability to "kill" the Times at a Gotham Hall "launch party of The Journal's Greater New York section." The News Corp head also managed to get in a jab at Times publish Arthur Sulzberger Jr.'s expense:
With the war starting, we wondered what Mr. Murdoch thought about Times publisher's Arthur Sulzberger Jr.'s reaction to the whole dust-up involving what happened at Sir Martin Sorrell's apartment a few weeks ago, when Mr. Sulzberger and Journal editor Robert Thomson met for the first time. (Mr. Thomson described their conversation to us in an interview, and Mr. Sulzberger, through a spokesman, said Mr. Thomson lied.)
Mr. Murdoch's swatted the air disgustedly with his right hand, and said, "He should get a life."
The Times recently ran an ad campaign in which it provided stats about its dominance over The Journal with women readers in the New York area. What did Mr. Murdoch think?
"Bullshit," he said. "We have more women readers-total-than they do nationally."
Did he feel he could kill The New York Times?
"You can't kill The New York Times," he said. "It'll be here forever."
I guess if anyone should know about the ability to "kill" off a news outlet, it would be Murdoch. After all, this is the same News Corp chief that has presided over the decline of many newspapers and other entities like MySpace. As Newser.com's Michael Wolff noted in February, News Corp has "shouldered" the "losses" of the Times of London and the New York Post "for more than 30 years (representing, quite possibly, the largest aggregate loss of any media properties ever.)"

I had to leave B&S 1998 off my own list, because I don't remember it well and I couldn't find it on youtube to re-watch. 1) Sale/Pelletier 2002 - I know there probably won't be many who agree with me 2) Pang/Tong 2010 - Yeah, I think their LP was better than Shen and Zhao's but Shen and Zhao still deserved the win overall 3) Berezhnaya/Sikharulidze 2002 4) Totmianina/Marinin 2006 - Technically perfect, but emotionless 5) Kazakova/Dmitriev 1998 - Kind of the same thing as #4, and there were a few wobbles here and there, you would have had to pay close attention to notice them I think 6) Shen/Zhao 2010 - Big flaw was her coming down early from one of the lifts 7) Mishkutienok/Dmitriev 1994 - This was better than Gordeeva and Grinkov's, IMO. She has become heavy (for a pairs skater, not the average person) here though, that was really striking. 8) Brasseur/Eisler 1994 - Also better than Gordeeva and Grinkov's FS that night, IMO. 9) Shen/Zhao 2006 10) Gordeeva/Grinkov 1994 - good program, but some technical flaws that couldn't be overlooked 11) Woetzel/Steuer 1998 - The program that I liked the best, but it can't be denied that there were mistakes, I think it was the music that made me like it honestly 12) Bechke/Petrov 1992 - Yes, ahead of Mishkutienok and Dmitriev's 13) Savchenko/Szolkowy 2010 14) Shen/Zhao 2002 15) Zhangs 2006 - Technically very good to start with, except for the fall on the quad throw, but they REALLY waver near the end, slow down and start getting wobbly, plus it was artistically vapid 16) Mishkutienok/Dmitriev 1992 - IMO, this program was nice, but it had too many technical mistakes for an OGM-winning performance, totally the opposite of their '94 skate 17) Brasseur/Eisler 1992 - Too many mistakes for a OBM-winning performance, IMO, I think 1992 was just a weak year for pairs FPs at the Olympics

AMES, Iowa — All roses need some attention going into winter, and there are many methods to provide winter protection. Horticulturists with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach offer suggestions for preparing roses for Iowa's winter weather. Contact Hortline by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com or calling 515-294-3108 to ask the specialists additional pre-winter gardening questions.
Most hybrid tea, grandiflora, floribunda and other modern roses require protection during the winter months. Low temperatures and rapid temperature changes in winter can severely injure and sometimes kill unprotected modern roses. (Most old garden roses possess excellent cold hardiness and don't require winter protection.)
Hilling or mounding soil over the base of each plant is an excellent way to protect hybrid tea, grandiflora and floribunda roses. Begin by removing fallen leaves and other debris from around each plant. Removal of diseased plant debris will help reduce disease problems next season. Then, loosely tie the canes together with twine to prevent the canes from being whipped by strong winds. Next, cover the bottom 10 to 12 inches of the rose canes with soil. Place additional material, such as straw or leaves, over the mound of soil. A small amount of soil placed over the straw or leaves should hold these materials in place.
Prepare hybrid tea, grandiflora and floribunda roses for winter after the plants have been hardened by exposure to several nights of temperatures in the low to mid-20s. Normally, this is early November in northern Iowa, mid-November in central areas and late November in southern counties.
Rose cones by themselves generally don't provide adequate protection. Additional insulating material is necessary. Prune the rose bush to allow it to fit under the cone. Then mound soil over the base of the plant, covering the bottom 6 to 8 inches of the rose canes. Place the cone over the rose, securing the cone with bricks or soil. If no holes are provided at the top of the cone, puncture several holes around the top to provide ventilation. Air temperatures inside the cones may get quite warm on sunny, mild winter days without ventilation holes.
A rose growing in a pot may be destroyed if the potted rose is left on a deck or patio over winter. Potting soil temperatures in containers left above ground are likely to get extremely cold, damaging or destroying the roots of the rose.
To protect a potted rose, dig a hole in the ground in a sheltered location. Set the pot in the ground and then place soil around the pot. Place additional soil over the rose covering the bottom 6 to 8 inches of the rose canes.
Potted miniature roses also can be brought indoors before a hard freeze in fall and placed in a south or west-facing window and maintained as a houseplant.

The city that keeps building better mousetraps.
The pulse of civilization invariably beats stronger in some parts of the world than others. Something special happens when science, commerce, and the humanities resonate in the interplay of geography and culture that makes a great city. Was it Florence that created the Renaissance, or did it create Florence, a city with so many milestones in art, literature, science, and government?
Culture is far more interconnected these days, so one doesn't find the towering preeminence of a 16th-century Florence. Even so, there are cities where the throbbing beat of civilization creates a dynamic tension. Visitors to these cities catch them in the act of changing the world.
Seattle is one of those places, and this is its time. A generation ago it was a sleepy third-tier city in the Northwest, dominated by timber and Boeing. When the aerospace industry hit a downturn, an infamous billboard was erected, saying, "Will the last person to leave Seattle please turn out the lights?"
What a contrast to the present, when trends started in Seattle have an impact on every part of life. It's hard to imagine a world without Nintendo games or Microsoft software; both came from Seattle companies. Do your kids play with Magic cards or dote on Pokémon games? They're also made in Seattle. The world talks on cell phone networks pioneered by Seattle company McCaw Cellular, now part of AT&T, and buys things online at Amazon.com or offline at Costco Wholesale—two more Seattle companies. And with the downturns of the 1970s behind it, Boeing's jumbo jets still rule the sky.
With this much business success, you might think the place is Mammon incarnate, but that's an oversimplification. Seattle is infamous as the focal point for riots against global capitalism and world trade. An antiestablishment theme also runs through its music. How else could a city that is home to more billionaires than any other also be the birthplace of grunge rock?
Maybe it's the coffee. Starbucks is the most famous Seattle coffee expert, but the city is a hotbed of latte shops and espresso stands, each with their devotees. So much coffee is consumed that scientists have found that caffeine permeates the local seawater.
Despite its recent successes, Seattle remains comfortably down to earth. Hollywood and Wall Street, to pick two examples, have a huge influence on society, but their residents know it—and it's gone to their heads. There is a humility and informality about Seattle that seems out of sync with its new role in the world; to most of us it's just not a big deal. Billionaires, grunge heads, and everybody else go to the same coffee shops, eat in the same restaurants, and wear the same Birkenstock sandals. In a way, you don't need to visit Seattle to experience what's happening there—indeed, you can hardly escape it. But there is still something special about being in a place where the future is being invented while you watch.

Posted by Scott Santucci on May 29, 2010
The line from Shakespeare, "What's past is prologue" has always resonated with me. History does have a funny way of repeating itself and people who can learn from what's happened before have an advantage over those that don't. As we celebrate Memorial Day here in the States, I thought I'd use the time to share some useful insights about one of America's most successful generals and how they relate to sales enablement professionals today.
General George Patton's unparalleled ability to execute in WWII sometimes gets overshadowed by his colorful (and stupid) public relations. Because of his quick strike abilities, the Axis leaders feared him more than any other Allied general. What made him truly unique, and someone still studied in military academies throughout the world today, was his formula for success. Patton had a voracious appetite for history and believed that humanity already had a master inventory of all of the strategies and tactics for winning a battle. All one had to do was apply that knowledge to a given situation. His success can be summed up by his ability to model, map, and match.
He was able to model the various elements of a particular battle (from tactics, troop movements, level of aggression of his opponent, terrain, initiative, strengths, weather patterns, etc.) to recognize patterns from an engagement of antiquity. Having identified patterns, he was able to associate (or map) the actions of the victorious general to his situation, giving him a powerful competitive advantage -- the trial-and-error wisdom of thousands of successful and failed tactics and strategies of the other generals of the ages. Armed with the best advisor (the collective wisdom of centuries of peers), Patton was able to rapidly and effectively match winning tactics from the past to his specific circumstances.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I should first commend bubb2's yeoman work in publishing the Law of the Sea treaty from 1958. If I'd read it here first it would have saved me a fair bit of time in my old International Law textbook! I'd only add that the LOST is currently under debate for revision, a revision that threatens US economic interests, but that's another matter.
I'm aware that I probably did not address your specific question as to the French sailboat in international waters confronting a US warship commanding/advising the boat to change course or exit the area. I believe I've some information that may shed some light on the matter.
First off I should say that there is very little that I've found that addresses private yachts per se. Most of international law revolves around merchant vessels of one sort or another. And it involves vessels "flagged" by their country which implies documentation, something that may not apply to all boats. I doubt that fact detracts from the overall principle of international law though regarding how the vessels are treated on the high seas.
As noted in the LOST of 1958 post, a warship, any warship, has the right to "visit and search" any vessel that meets one of the following criteria:
1) suspected of committing piracy
2) suspected of engaging in slave trading
3) is of the same nationality as the warship
4) as may be authorized by treaty between the nation of the warship and the nation of the vessel.
Posse Comitatus technically does not apply on the high seas regarding US warships and US flagged vessels. That point is somewhat obscured and finessed by either using Coast Guard vessels or CG personnel on naval vessels. Regardless, there is nothing within international law that prohibits a warship from visiting and searching a vessel of the same flag.
Now, as to the specifics of your question re: the French sailboat and US warship.
It's not piracy even if the yacht is boarded or seized. See bubb2's post for definition of piracy on that.
I find no references to any requirement that the yacht must comply with any order given by a warship of another flag. I might add that I was struck anew by how much of international law is devoted to two predominate areas; maritime law and the conduct of war. Makes sense I suppose.
As to our poor French yachtsman confronted with the arrogant forces of either US or Russian naval power I believe the below quote from Law Among Nations, 1976, von Glahn, pretty much addresses the matter and makes plain his options or lack thereof:
"Again, most individuals lack the ability to assert their rights before an international tribunal. As long as this situation prevails, it must be doubted that international law grants real rights to individuals. Only their state can take up their cause, by bringing a suit or by filing a protest or claim with another state. This means that it is the state which possesses an international legal right, not the individual."
As I read it, you may do as you please when confronted with a request or order given by a foreign warship on the high seas subject only to your good sense and, lacking that, your faith that either your navy or your government will prevail in bailing your butt out. I hope the above sheds some light on the matter.
Having said all of that, I should mention that in twenty years at sea I never had issue with a warship of any nation nor heard of any other than the Pueblo or the Mayaguez. I've had countless interogatories as to identity via either flashing light or VHF, and I know of a few "Uniform" 's anecdotally. (Interco "U", "you are standing into danger") And that included a few visits to the former Soviet Union and Israel, two country's notoriously prickly about the formalities.
In my experience, to the extent that there is any interaction between naval vessels and other vessels there is a measure of comity common to all seafarers. I stand by my original post that the OP is merely politically grandstanding without benefit of the relevant facts. He presupposes that the US Navy has either the inclination or the time to just go about ordering vessels out of their "playpen" for no good reason. I've run all three coasts of the US and never encountered anything remotely like that...but then I also made it a practice to stay out of naval exercise areas! I suspect the OP would have been singing a different tune had his acquaintance had a submarine surface underneath him! Everybody knows how arrogant those sub drivers are! (g)
|Cam, about a week after 911, I decided to take the boat down to New York harbor to see what was going on. Just south of GW I was face to face with a GC Cutter. He radioed me that I was to proceed no further. I turned around, but he had a deck gun pointed at me.
HS....yep...probably a poor choice of words. I will listen closely for the next excercise ship communications and report back the exact phraseology used.
I think that somewhere in Bubb's post above, I am advised that they can command me to do whatever the hell they want me to!
|Personally I would agree that the U S military, in all of its branches, is a very arrogant organization. However, I thank my lucky stars they are! Timidity did not win World War 1, compliance did not win World War 2, and this country would be vastly different as a subject of the English crown had the continental army of 1776 been Mr Nice Guy! There are too many people in this country who spend time and energy condemning our government, when they would be better served to thank God that we have a government and military which makes it possible to criticize them!
Well the Navy ship could designate you as target #1, if you are refusing to move out of the area. Then as target #1 you could sail where you please...
"is advised that he MUST change course "
Perhaps that is a faulty premise? I mean, I've never had the big gray boats phone me up to discuss the time of day, much less the weather, but would a warship ADVISE ME TO CHANGE COURSE? Or, COMMAND ME to change course?
My recollection is that the warship would ADVISE me, and that means compliance is strongly suggested but in no way COMMANDED OR REQUIRED. (At least, not in your scenario, although IIRC there are currently some large "keep away" zones in effect for US ciitzens and US warships.)
You know, like the old tale of the lights seen in the storm, and the escalating conversation about which of them should change course? Where one stubborn skipper finally says they are an aircraft carrier, get out of the way, and the other one says that's all nice, but they are a LIGHTHOUSE and he really doesn't care what the carrier thinks?
Heres where the get the right to do as the please, Warships have immunity by the high sea act of the UN.
|Then there is also the fact that the naval warship has guns...and you don't...
You can sue the government for the actions of merchant vessels that it owns or operates under the Suits in Admiralty statute of 1920. That statute was enlarged to allow you to sue against the actions of naval vessels of the government in the Public Vessels Act of 1925. Such suits are brought in Federal court only under Admiralty. There is no in rem principle involved with public owned vessels.
On the high seas you have a right to free passage and you may even have this right within the territorial waters of a nation if those waters involve a sea lane normally used for international passage-most notable in the waters of archipelagos.
You are not required to respond to the commands of a foreign naval vessel nor be boarded by the members of that vessel's complement when within international waters. There is a caveat to that law though. If the nations of the warship and your vessel's flag have an agreement allowing such actions your government has effectively waived such immunity. These agreements are more common than might be supposed.
There are any number of reasons to be diverted from a naval exercise area under various laws. The most common that is run into on the high seas is that you must give way due to the naval vessels being restricted in their ability to manoeuver under the Colregs.
If you are boarded or shepherded out of a naval exercise area against your will your options are limited to those against the flag nation of the warship and within your own country's courts/government. Assuming that there is no collateral agreement between the two flag nations you may be able to proceed at Admiralty but you are going to have to show a real loss, not just a potential loss. As to your being boarded by a foreign nation's armed forces you will have to rely on your own government to pursue such a case assuming you sustained no documented losses. Generally speaking, these types of situations occur when Greenpeace or some other group intentionally tries to interfere with a nuclear test or something and the country doing the testing removes them from the designated area. In the cases where the Greenpeace vessel was US flagged they've not had much success with the US pursuing their grievances against the boarding nation. There is a fairly strong presumption that such boardings or shepherding of vessels out of areas of naval operations is for the vessel's own safety.
The short answer to Cam's specific question is that there is no law, there may be a treaty, that allows the warship to so direct. To the best of my knowledge there is no French requirement, as there would be no US requirement, to obey the orders of the naval vessel. Of course, as a matter of practical consequences you are assuming all risk for your actions and it would be highly unlikely that your government would offer much in the way of support.
Outside of territorial waters you are free to ignore the entreaties of any naval vessel not of your flag. You're also free to bear the consequences and perhaps the unwillingness of your own government to make it into an international incident.
I don't know what has brought out the personal stuff here but a legitimate question has been asked and despite the number of words used in response, no one has answered the question.
Let's put it this way. If a FRENCH sailboat with French sailors is crossing the Atlantic and 200 miles out from shore is advised that he MUST change course as the US Navy is engaging in exercises...what LAW or TREATY gives the Navy the right to insist on his compliance?
It is one thing to advise that live fire excercises are being conducted and suggesting a change of course...it is another altogether to insist on a change of course. So where is the legal authority?
...and let's dispense with the personal attacks. Further ones will not be tolerated.

Box Score
TOWSON, Md. – Junior John Fennessy, sophomore Max Siskind, and freshman Chris Vetter each scored their first career goal as Towson Lacrosse (8-7, 4-2 Colonial Athletic Association (CAA)) claimed a 13-6 victory over Saint Joseph's (5-11, 1-5 CAA) Saturday evening at Johnny Unitas® Stadium.
Sophomore Greg Cuccinello posted his first career hat trick with a career-high four goals, while juniors Thomas DeNapoli each scored a pair of goals for the Tigers. DeNapoli also dished out a career-high tying three assists in the win. Senior goalkeeper Andrew Wascavage recorded 12 saves, including 10 in the second half.
Fennessy opened the scoring at 13:14 with a 65-yard shot that bounced into an empty net after SJU's Austin Keen left the crease. Almost three minutes later, Cuccinello scored his first goal of the game off an assist from Hodgson. Siskind scored just under a minute later, beating the Hawks' keeper from just outside the crease. Cuccinello took advantage of a man-up opportunity off a feed from DeNapoli at 5:35 – exactly four minutes after Siskind's tally. Hodgson gave Towson a 5-0 lead when he shot while falling to the ground and found the back of the net.
Joe McErlean finally got the Hawks on the board 12 seconds into the second quarter. Senior Matt Hughes scored for Towson at 12:59 to push the lead back to five goals before Johnny Simanski posted a goal for St. Joe's at 3:35. Hodgson gave the Tigers a 7-2 lead with 2:24 remaining in the first half.
The third quarter was quiet offensively. DeNapoli tallied his first goal of the game off a feed from Hodgson at 6:44. The third different Hawk to score for SJU was Williams when he beat Wascavage high left at 4:58. But Cuccinello's third goal of the game – his first career hat trick – and Vetter's tally at 1:30 extended the Tigers' advantage to 10-3.
The Hawks scored back-to-back goals at the start of the fourth frame when Williams added his second and Will Abbott picked up a ground ball off a SJU face-off win, took it down and scored. However, sophomore Cory Dobyns tallied his first goal back after missing two games with an injury when he buried a pass from DeNapoli at 13:00.
Saint Joseph's continued to hang around. Williams posted a hat trick with a goal at 10:42 to inch the Hawks to within five, 11-6.
Towson next faces Drexel in the CAA Tournament semifinals at Penn State on Wednesday, May 1 at 5:30 p.m.
NOTES: Fennessy, Siskind, and Vetter each scored their first career goals ... Hughes scored a goal on Senior Night ... Cuccinnello posted his first hat trick ...

Took your suggestion, looked at the Macks, Bass Pro and Rodgers & Hard Cores websites ... They have pic's of Mallards and Geese, but nooooooo divers ... None. Would ALSO like to add that the Hard Core Website + Catalog doesn't have any prices, ... to find those out, you need to go look at the website I listed above ... Seems odd to me to actually have a catalog, for YOUR product, and not actually put a price on the items themselves.
So, while I found your responce "enlightening" ... It really didn't answer the question posed.

They will be on clearance soon and the 2014 new and improved models are probably already in the work. Just spend the money buy what you can. I am on a small budget but I prefer quality so I build a lot of my ducks and buy the best quality factory deeks I can. dakota, bigfoot,avery everything else is just not up to task of hunting a couple times a week. good luck if you do buy them I think they look good just not sure how long they will look good and when your hunting single digits ad below you dont have time and conditions to baby each decoy.

Black Smoke wrote:I dont care about the warranty on the paint. Have you ever seen a duck or goose full body? =junk I hate bashing these guys but the customer service is ridiculous too. Next time you get a chance pick up a full body decoy and just flick the thing and it might crack!

Black Smoke wrote:Here's the thing OnTheFly7, I was prostaff for Hard Core Decoys/Brands for over 3 years and I know from much experience with the decoys that they are not durable. However, I don't know about the new paint on the dekes because I dropped them due to the lack of communication with them and the fact that I didn't want to promote a product that was not up to my satisfaction. The best thing on their dekes is the flocking. I do know that their actual decoys have not changed, it is still the chinsy plastic that is the same as the old ones. So like I said, I don't like bashing any company but when I know from first hand experience I feel that I need to warn other people out there because you and I both spend our hard earned money on gear and decoys. I hope this clears some things up for you.

I have the 2013 18 puddler pack from Bass Pro and have used them about 10 times this season. They have been hunted over in rice fields, small timber holes, and big open flats. They are all texas rigged with the riggings that were provided in the pack. I by no means intently abuse any of my decoys but I also don't baby them. They have be hauled in and out of a pit blind along with being moved around in a boat. I never leave my decoys out over nigher either.
Pros: I think they look pretty good with the exception of the wood duck hen. They are very light weight! Even the mallard magnums that came with the pack are very light.
Cons: The durability just isn't there. They don't live up to their name. More that half of them have cracked in the same place (where the body meets the bottom of the decoy). They are just too thin of a decoy to really hold up in the long tun. I know this why they are lightweight decoys and its a give and take issue between lightness and durability. Also some of the caps hold the sand in the kill have fallen off. This isn't to big of an issue because they are light and the keel will fill up with water and they will sit in the water just fine. As far as the paint goes they seam to hold up well (remember I've only used them about 10 times).
Hope this helps!

This clip prompted my to start this thread. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GDdHQmcK7g After the other discussion on the judging system, I also think this is also relevant. Anyway the reason why I posted was I watched this clip without the sound. Even without the costume, this is a fantastic example of a the skater fully using the music and give a very clear impression about what they are doing to it. And you get a clear picture of the type of music as well. Music is the starting point for any program. I am always disappointed to see skaters skating through the music as if it doesn't matter and has no bearing on their performance. Or the choreography has very little relationship to the music.

There are many red faces among Kenya's leading politicians as they struggle to figure out how to combat a new enemy. The political opponent is not human, the opponent can not be arrested and tortured into a confession because their new enemy is simply a group of puppets who mock them for their corruption and inefficiency. A rapping president describes himself as a "bad dude;" a prime minister and vice-president argue over who gets which bathroom and a group of members of parliament suffer from an incurable disease–"corruptophaelia." The daring puppet satire, known as "Splitting Image," dawned last spring and its barbs of wit have embarrassed many leading Kenya political leaders who are uncertain how to combat the words of a puppet who too frequently speaks the truth in words that express the feeling of thousands.
One episode posed the question of "What if Kenya was perfect?" and then depicted President Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga in j ail in the Hague for crimes against humanity. The creator of the puppet show, Godfrey "Gado" Mwampembwa had expected to be arrested, but so far the good news is laughter not jail.
I wonder if Gado would travel to America and offer his puppets to depict corrupt Republican political leaders who believe shouts of hatred are more necessary than shouts of love.

Spent the better part of 10 days on the road in a Mazda2 traveling from Chicago to San Diego and back again. Thought I'd share my impressions on the car.
For the tl;dr crowd:
Surprisingly-good performance
Averaged 30.4 mpg
Typical Mazda interior
Unabridged riveting tale chap:
The Friday before last (May 4th), my buddy and I took some basic travel supplies + clothes and headed off on a roadtrip in a True Red Mazda2 Touring with ~6,200 miles on the odometer that looked like this:
Prior to the trip, I had been interested in a Mazda2 so having one for such a trip made for perfect coincidence. For those not familiar, here are the basic stats on the car:
100hp/98tq 1.5L 16V 4-cylinder
~2,350lb curb weight
0-60 in 9.2 seconds
Top speed of 109mph
The trip itinerary went like this: Chicago -> St Louis -> Oklahoma City -> Albuquerque -> San Diego -> Las Vegas -> Denver -> Chicago
First and most-noticeable was how well the car drove. It weighs as much as my '89 Integra did but feels much better planted to the road than that car ever felt. Steering response is sharp and brakes catch very quickly. Surprisingly little body roll/lean considering how cheap the car is. As far as power is concerned, the 100hp/98tq may be at least 54lb-ft short of sufficient for safe passing, but it felt like plenty in this car even with the additional ~500lbs with us in it. It didn't stand a chance in any aspect against the Z8 we ran across on Mulholland and the engine had a tough time climbing I-70 by Denver up to the ~11,600-foot elevation, but it never gave off that impression that we could have dead.
I was also quite impressed with the interior. Much like in my sister-in-law's Mazda3, the interior in this car is surprisingly cavernous and well-arranged. The dash and door cards, though, (much like they are in the Mazda3), are easy to mar/scratch. The trunk is roomy enough for two medium duffel bags and tools without a problem. There are several cup holders and change trays of various widths and depths in the center console. Map pockets in the front door cards flared in width toward the front of the car meaning you could stash items of wider width in there (such as a CD case). The rear doors, however, do not have pockets. Also, the part of the elbow rest on the front doors where you put your fingers in to pull the door closed was padded with soft material. This is great as I hate having something rattling in there as it does in most other cars. Lastly, the car does have a good seating position relative to window shape for cruising with your arm resting on the door.
Other things of note:
The Yokohama Avid S34F tires performed very well from the canyons of California to the snow/ice of Denver. Always good grip except for minor hydroplaning in New Mexico.
Very little highway noise.
There is no engine temp gauge, only one blue dummy light to let you know the engine has not warmed up to optimal temperature, and one red dummy light to let you know if the engine is too hot.
Wider-than-expected turning radius. I tried to turn around 180 degrees at a gas station around the pump island and could not do it in one smooth move.
Small 11.3 gallon gas tank made for stopping 2-3 times a day to get gas but at least it was cheap and quick to fill up.
Overall trip fuel consumption was at 30.4 mpg. Trip consisted of almost all highway driving, never more than 5-7mph over the limit.
No satellite radio. Not sure if it was just this car that didn't come with it or if the Mazda2 doesn't have it as an option at all.
No sunroof. Again, not sure if at all available from Mazda.
The cruise control would occasionally go into thermostat mode where it let the actual speed fall nearly 5mph under the set limit and then overcompensate by bringing the actual speed over the setting by 2-3mph. A few times, the cruise control would just randomly shut off or gun the engine to 5,000 rpm on level roads without much elevation change up or down.
The distance to empty display would sometimes add mileage to the range instead of subtracting as we're driving along. This might be because of the gasoline moving about in the gas tank.
The headrest makes for a vision obstruction if you look over your shoulder on the door side.
Placement of the shifter being in the dash makes it pretty easy to tap into neutral when bringing your hand up from the center console area.
The backs of the front seats do not have storage areas.
The seats were quite comfortable and did not wear us out sitting in them day after day for a week and a half. The side bolsters were quite supportive on both parts of the seat even if the did feel flimsy in hand.
The front passenger seat can slide forward of the B-pillar if you need to fit a large item into the back seat area.
It is possible to turn the trunk light on/off with a switch but the light doesn't illuminate the trunk area very well.
You do have a button to turn the DSC off, which was nice, but there is no indicator to inform you if wheel slip was detected.
Only one 12V port.
The glove box does open without crashing into your shins, which is more than I can say for most other cars I've been in.
There is no dummy pedal to rest your left foot on, but there is a flat vertical carpeted space where a dummy pedal would have gone.
All in all, I liked the car and I would consider owning one if I were in the market for a new small car. Only things I'd have to have that this car did not come with is a sunroof and manual trans.

Hey all,
Thought I would post a bit of progress on my Stormrider EE3 kit. I still have some weathering to do as well as permanently attach all the small parts. I am going to look into a way to put the proper holes in the barrel but not sure exactly how to do that right now.
Thanks for looking,

Origins Network announces they now have on their website The
Probate Index …………….
The Index gives:
- testator's name
- places associated with person; usually the place of death, but sometimes other places where the testator lived are mentioned
- date of probate – year & month
- type(s) of documents (there is often more than one document)
- court concerned
- Borthwick Institute reference to the original document(s)
- Reference to original index
The original documents provide a great deal of valuable information to the family historian and copies of these can be ordered online via British Origins.
The Prerogative & Exchequer Courts of York
Prior to 1858, wills were proved in an ecclesiastical court. Which court dealt with a particular will depended on where property was held.
Parishes of the Church of England were grouped into archdeaconries, and a group of archdeaconries formed a diocese (ie the area of a bishop's jurisdiction). Each diocese belonged either to the ecclesiastical province of York or of Canterbury. The province of York had jurisdiction in the counties of Cheshire, Cumberland, Durham, Lancashire, Northumberland, Nottinghamshire, Westmorland and Yorkshire; Canterbury had jurisdiction over the rest of England and Wales.
If a person's property lay wholly within one archdeaconry, the will was generally proved in that archdeacon's court. But if property worth £5 or more were owned elsewhere the will would be proved in a higher court, that of a bishop or archbishop.
The Prerogative Court of York
If the property were owned in more than one diocese, the will would be proved in one of the two archbishops' prerogative courts. If the property were all within the province of York, probate would be dealt with by the Prerogative Court of York (PCY), otherwise by the Prerogative Court of Canterbury (PCC). So if property were owned in both provinces, probate was dealt with by PCC, the senior court.
The Exchequer Court of York
The Exchequer Court exercised jurisdiction over lay men and unbeneficed clergy (that is who were not rectors or vicars) with goods in the diocese of York only.
The Indexes
Origins Network in association with the Borthwick Institute for Archives are completing the computerisation of the indexes to the Prerogative & Exchequer Court of York probate material; only the Medieval part (1267-1500) of these indexes had previously been computerised. This work is being done in reverse chronological order, starting from 1858. The index records covering 222,000 grants of probate for the period May 1731 to January 1858 are now available online exclusively on British Origins. Though over the whole period over two thirds of grants were made by the Exchequer Court latterly by the mid 19th century (1842-1858) about two thirds of the wills were proved in the Prerogative Court.
All the original documents (with very few exceptions) are held by the Borthwick Institute, see other "York Series" Probate Indexes.
Index details
The Prerogative & Exchequer Court of York Probate Index contains the following fields:
- Last name of testator
- First name of testator
- Place, usually of death, but sometimes where the testator had at some time been living; this field usually, but not always, contains the parish.
- County, or country if not England or Wales
- Court where probate was granted: P = Prerogative Court of York; E = Exchequer Court of York
- Document type (see table below)
- Date of probate (year and month)
- Source document reference (for use of the Borthwick Institute)
- Index reference (see below)
- Index note present: if this field contains "Yes" it means that there is a marginal note in the original index entry.
You can search on Last name, First name, County/Country and Year range. County or Country can be selected from a drop-down list.
Although over 80% of the records relate to Yorkshire, people from all over the British Isles and abroad had property in the Province of York, and had their wills proved in the Prerogative or Exchequer Court of York.
Currently the index only holds records for wills proved in the period May 1731 to Jan 1858. The indexes for the period 1500 to Mar 1731 will be provided later.
Each index entry has two buttons on the right, one to allow display of the image of the original index page, the other to allow online ordering of a copy of the source document. We recommend that you view the original index entries, for these often contain extra information which is not in the computerised index and which may help you decide whether to order copies of the documents.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by markie8002000, May 1, 2009.
Dumars: Trades, free-agent signings possible | detnews.com | The Detroit News
Here is a list from the Dallas Morning News FREE AGENTS OF NOTE Only unrestricted free agents listed Cream of the crop Ron Artest; Houston Ben Gordon; Chicago Allen Iverson; Detroit Shawn Marion; Toronto Andre Miller; Philadelphia Lamar Odom; LA Lakers Rasheed Wallace; Detroit Best of the rest Chris Andersen; Denver Trevor Ariza; LA Lakers Luther Head; Miami Grant Hill; Phoenix Eddie House; Boston ZaZa Pachulia; Atlanta Anderson Varejao; Cleveland Darkhorses Rodney Carney; Minnesota Anthony Carter; Denver Marquis Daniels; Indiana Flip Murray; Atlanta Anthony Parker; Toronto Wally Szczerbiak; Cleveland Von Wafer; Houston
The best big man on this list is Rasheed Wallace. That is a bad omen for Pistons fans.
I'd like to see them get Birdman, Varejao, Szczerbiak, Ben Gordon and Von Wafer.
I guess trade is the way then. But one restricted free agent I would love Joe to presue is Marvin Williams.
Absolutely. Marvin > Prince I love this kid's upside.
What about Andre Miller to fill the PG position with an actual PG?
I'd rather have Odom.
I just have a bad feeling that we still don't have a real center. Kwame Brown is a nice backup but behind who??? There is no one in the draft and no one on this free agent list.
Yea we definitely need a real center.
Dwight Howard Joe is going to work his Magic
Upside = 4 years of arguing on PF.com about why a guy isn't doing more of this or less of that... Please...no more guys with upside. We need to make efforts to bring in guys with Actualside.
Yes, but a strong case could be made that Williams is already a better player than Prince. And he's only 22... plenty of room for his game to continue to improve. I see him as being the best option out there at small forward, but perhaps there are others. Player Comparison Finder - Basketball-Reference.com
What an exciting and talented list of players to go after!
I would be open to the idea of the Birdman. Andre Miller running the point would be nice too, although he's getting on, and I've always thought of him as Chauncey Billups type.
I would like to be able to eat while I watch Piston games. Then again it would be a good way to loose weight.
As much as we all hate him, how about at the right price if he opts out, Sideshow Bob? He'd be another good post defender and it wouldn't hurt to have those flops go our way.
An energy player that plays with passion like Birdman or Sideshow is just what this team needs. Someone that could hype everyone up so they can play with energy and get each other cheering for one another. Seeing last years bench cheering was aweful and it translated to the court unfortunately.
I've always liked him. I think he would become an instant fan favorite here.
I am ok with Sideshow, the last energy player we had like that was the Junkyard dog and Rodman...
Separate names with a comma.

Expected outcomes for graduates of the Master of Education in Community Arts program
Because one of our goals is for our
graduates to be well-prepared for community arts work, we have a system that tracks student progress and ensures continuous
improvement. The system includes competencies developed for each
program that link to state and professional standards. Key
assignments that address the competencies are identified in every course, and faculty give students actionable feedback on
their progress based on these assignments.
Students will be able to demonstrate how to write a grant proposal.Students will demonstrate ability to work with the Logic Model and backward design for planning and evaluation.Students demonstrate art-based research methods using ABR writing techniques such as narrative, autobiography, auto ethnography, dramatic forms and poetry.Students will demonstrate the ability to analyze historical and theoretical context of their work in community arts settings.Students will demonstrate use of interview through oral histories, case study, and community based action research to be able to evaluate community needs and apply to a program.Students will demonstrate experience in working in community as mediator and understand different approaches of advocacy.Students will understand visual, digital, environmental and cultural literacies and how these shape and inform community work.Students will demonstrate the understanding of the role of social group location and membership within community contexts to assist in the intersection of the arts and civic dialogue.Students will demonstrate teaching as community leadership, and learn how to use artistic collaborations to form strategic alliances for social change among diverse cultural and social groups.Students will develop a portfolio of their experience in community arts, including their 21st century professional goals.Students will demonstrate the possibilities of new media literacy through the use of wikis, blogs, or digital art forms as well as understanding technologies that support research, publication and reflection.Students will demonstrate professional learning in a 150-hour internship designed for each student's professional goals and arts specialization.Students will demonstrate through a final thesis project exploration of how their project will reflect social justice, social agency, and an arts approach, and thus have impact in society. This thesis will investigate the convergence of research, theory and practice in both arts and education and their relationship to different communities and will be demonstrated in a written thesis document and public arts based presentation.Students will be able to practice various art modalities through their specialization and be able to integrate and demonstrate uses of different art forms in community contexts.Students will demonstrate a working knowledge of English instruction techniques and various cultural competencies. Students will also demonstrate planning and design that acknowledges ELL needs of all ages. This would include understanding the complexity and access for ELL community members whether recently immigrated, refugees migrated from another part of the country, or if a family's home language is other than English. Knowledge of what is available to support ELL learners in the community is crucial.Students will demonstrate a disposition appropriate to the Community Arts field, such as:

It's not a flat-6 that's for sure. I noticed it's a consistent icon in all cars. Sometimes it's got a lightning bolt through it, but other than that it's always the same.
So, which real life engine does it most resemble by it's outline? I figure it's something from the 70s because it's got a big circular air filter on top. But hey what do I know. Guesses?
For reference here's the icon in several different cars. Always the same.

This part also includes 3 screws. Small burner cap is sold separately.
This part works with the following brands: Frigidaire, Tappan, Kenmore, Gibson, Uni, Westinghouse.
This part works with the following products: Range, Cooktop.
This part fixes the following symptoms:
Since the burner was rusted I decided to replace the entire burner not just the igniter. Ifound that it was more cost effective to put in all new instead of a cheap quick fix. I took a socket wrench to the screws and a cresent wrench for the gas lines. Shut off gas first. Disconnect gas lines first then unscrew the three screws remove then replace with new burner attach screws connect gas lines. Turn on gas check for leaks close cover all finished.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?

Do you think that only professionals with expensive tools and years of experience can work with web graphics? This guide tosses that notion into the trash bin.
Painting the Web is the first comprehensive book on web graphics to come along in years, and author Shelley Powers demonstrates how readers of any level can take advantage of the graphics and animation capabilities built into today's powerful browsers. She covers GIFs, JPEGs, and PNGs, raster and vector graphics, CSS, Ajax effects, the canvas objects, SVG, geographical applications, and more -- everything that designers (and non-designers) use to literally paint the Web.
More importantly, Shelley's own love of web graphics shines through in every example. Not only can you master the many different techniques, you also can have fun doing it.
Topics in Painting the Web include:
Graphics are not essential to the web experience, but they do make the difference between a site that's functional and one that's lively, compelling, and exciting. Whether you want to spruce up a website, use photos to annotate your stories, create hot graphics, or provide compelling displays for your data, this is the book for you.
Shelley Powers has been writing about technical topics--from the first release of Java to the latest graphics tools--for more than 12 years. Her recent books, all published with O'Reilly, have covered the semantic web, Ajax, JavaScript, Unix, and now the world of web graphics. She's an avid amateur photographer and web graphics aficionado who enjoys applying her latest experiments on her many web sites.

Filling in the blanks
By Anonymous
This is an excellent reference by someone who is obviously passionate and knowledgeable about the complex world of Web graphics. There is crucial information on things like the difference between GIF and PNG, CSS and um.. how to create those shiny Web 2.0 buttons.My major criticism would be the author spends way too much time on her pet areas of knowledge. There's an entire chapter on digital photography for example; something I think is an entirely different subject. There's also chapters on SVG, Canvas and W3D, things I'm very interested in but that have little application in the real Web design world outside of theory at this point.Bottom line, this is a great book for experienced designers and hackers looking to expand their horizons and fill in the blanks about many things we've been fudging over the years. For the beginner trying to grasp the basics of Web graphics, it may be a bit uneven, however.

Thanks again Jeff but I did do a little extra work and so did a local machine shop!
Thanks again Jeff but I did do a little extra work and so did a local machine shop!
WHOA! That's gotta be the shiniest armor I've seen!
Holly **** Batman..:thumbup
WOW!!! I thought I saw my reflection.lol..Looks really good.Is that a chrome plating you had put on there?
Last edited by wickedbeard; Mar 23, 2007 at 7:47 AM. Reason: spelling
OK sorry my net has been down a few days..........This is standard WB armor that came to me weathered and sealed. Do not get me wrong Jeff does amazing work especially with my custom backplate! I went ahead and used aircraft stripper to take everything back down to bare metal. I then sanded everything with a wet 800 grit to get it smooth. Lastly I took everything down to a local machine shop who has done some work for me in the past for car parts and asked them to do what they could. Simply a few hours on the buffer and waa laa!!! They wanted to sand out some of the imperfections but the material is thin and plus it helps with the weathering.
I will be weathering this back up but now I have a great base and I can touch it all day long and not have any silver on my hands!!!
But now your gonna have to worry about finger prints all over it until its fully weathered
You're going to blind someone if you go outside.
Very nice shiny armor!


text: It's a shame you only focused on that part and not on the part about how quotes are put together in an article can give you a different impression from the spoken word. I think Ioana is right in that it seems to me they are just trying to explain their SD and their refocus of the SD. I think it's a shame you see it as them playing games with their fans.

Helped by her eager new assistant, Annelle (who is not sure whether or not she is still married), the outspoken, wise-cracking Truvy dispenses shampoos and free advice to the town's rich curmudgeon, Ouiser, ("I'm not crazy, I've just been in a bad mood for forty years"); an eccentric millionaire, Miss Clairee, who has a raging sweet tooth; and the local social leader, M'Lynn, whose daughter, Shelby (the prettiest girl in town), is about to marry a "good ole boy." Filled with hilarious repartee and not a few acerbic but humorously revealing verbal collisions, the play moves toward tragedy when, in the second act, the spunky Shelby (who is a diabetic) risks pregnancy and forfeits her life. The sudden realization of their mortality affects the others, but also draws on the underlying strength—and love—which give the play, and its characters, the special quality to make them truly touching, funny and marvelously amiable company in good times and bad.
