"He does deserve an honour. As a group we're
surprised he hasn't had any recognition. If you're looking
at people who have made an impact in this sport, Vic has got to be
up there. He's got the medals, now he deserves national
Jayne Ludlow on Ladies manager Vic Akers
The 2006/07 season couldn't have turned out much better for Jayne Ludlow. Handed the captaincy after a serious injury to Faye White, the midfield powerhouse led Arsenal Ladies to an unprecedented clean sweep of trophies.
We caught up with Jayne at the Arsenal training ground a couple of days after the final game of their incredible campaign. The final part of her review of the season is now available on Arsenal TV Online:
Part Four
Jayne assesses the significance of Arsenal's Uefa Cup win to the UK women's game, the promising signs at grass-roots level, why Arsenal should be an inspiration for other sides, the work of the Arsenal Ladies academy, keeping that 'hunger' after winning so much, why Vic Akers deserves an honour and his influence on Jayne's career.
Part Three
Jayne talks about the Uefa Cup Final, why she didn't feel under pressure, the inspiration for her pre-match team talk, how they nullified World Player of the Year Marta, where Umea got their tactics wrong, the reasons for playing the Final at Borehamwood, how the home crowd infuriated Marta, the ingredients they lacked in previous campaign and winning without the suspended Kelly Smith.
Part Two
Jayne reveals how Emma Hayes helped her with the captaincy, her sympathy for the long-term absentees, how she deals with her own injuries, the leaders on the pitch, why she lifts the trophies with Anita Asante, her own performances this season, how much she enjoyed her FA Cup Final strike and her other personal highlights.
Part One
Jayne discusses her expectations last summer, new signings Katie Chapman and Karen Carney, how new coach Emma Hayes has helped her, the psychological side of the game, Arsenal's attacking approach, their unblemished league campaign, why their success is good for the women's game, the spread of talent across the division, how Arsenal's dominance will help England's World Cup hopes, her delight at Arsenal's 'makeshift' defence and the the stand-out performer up front.

Green construction principles are migrating from materials to the entire transportation project's design. Sustainable design ideas are creating new market expansion possiblities for concrete producers.
Additional business gained so far on traditional highway and street upgrades includes poured concrete sidewalks, pervious concrete bike paths, and precast-supported elevated crossovers. So as designers look beyond the right-of-ways, producers may want to look forward to opportunities for extra business.
Often an afterthought and supported by special federal spending bills, transportation designers are looking for more sustainable aspects to their projects. These opportunities encompass more than just material replacement. The EPA is leading this effort.
In February, EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson demonstrated the agency's support for greening the nation's highways. The EPA's 2011 budget proposal to the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works includes a $5 million increase for Smart Growth work contained in the Healthy Communities Initiative.
The funding supports the Interagency Partnership for Sustainable Communities with the departments of Transportation and Housing and Urban Development. "The Smart Growth program works with federal partners and stakeholders to minimize the environmental impacts of development," Jackson said.
One tangible indication of the interest was the call for papers for a new conference on green transportation by the American Society of Civil Engineers and the Transportation & Development Institute. The groups will host the event at the 2010 Green Streets & Highways Conference in November in Denver. Organizers feel the time is right to address the rapidly growing interest and activity in sustainable transportation. (To learn more, visit www.green-streets-highways.org.)dswedbyyvzwsuaycvvzybbuc
One of the more out-of-the box green concepts involving highway design focuses on the relationship between wildlife and vehicle traffic. At the PCI Conference in 2009, the sustainable construction session included a European perspective on how concrete construction benefits wildlife. "Using Pre-cast Concrete in Innovative Ecological Bridges Design and Construction," authored by Marek Foglar, Jan Pencik, Vladimir Kristek and Radomir Bocek, outlined how ecological bridges and ecoducts mitigate negative aspects of transport infrastructure.
Ecoduct describes specially constructed overpasses for wildlife. Other designers have coined similar terms such as eco-bridge, wildlife bridge, green bridge, or wildlife overpass to describe bridges covered with natural vegetation. The largest are sometimes called landscape connectors while transportation designers in the U.S. and Canada use the term "wildlife crossings."
Regardless of the term, these structures help eliminate habitat fragmentation and the loss of diversity of biotopes. The PCI presenters showed how innovative precast design and construction helped reduce the highway's influence on animals and saved human life and vehicular damage.
The focus on wildlife crossings is not just a European idea. Researchers in the U.S. and Canada have been looking for ways to protect drivers and animals.
Banff National Park
No other place in world contains as many different types of wildlife crossings as the Banff National Park in Alberta. Canada's oldest and perhaps most famous national park has the world's longest, yearround crossing monitoring program and the most data on wildlife's use of these safety corridors. The park's aggressive highway fencing program has reduced wildlife-vehicle collisions by more than 80% for elk and deer alone.
Park officials started the program when traffic increased in the early 1980s. They built the first crossing as they began to upgrade the 53-mile section of the Trans-Canada Highway that traverses the park in a two-lane and four-lane divided highway. More than halfway completed by last year, they have installed 22 wildlife underpasses and two wildlife overpasses along a 28-mile section of fence.
Sensitivity to wildlife and habitat challenges transportation agencies which are required to evaluate projects' impacts on endangered and threatened animal and plant species, and to consider resource conservation plans and inventories as part of planning. While progress has been made in developing methods to address project-specific impacts, a broader ecosystem approach to transportation project planning and development promises even greater benefits to wildlife and habitat while ensuring mobility for humans.
The National Cooperative Highway Research Program has sponsored the Evaluation of the Use and Effectiveness of Wildlife Crossings project. The team included nine ecologists and engineers and a web developer. Resources focused on ecological implications of roads and mitigation and the safety aspect of animal-vehicle collisions. The objective was to provide clearly written guidelines for selecting, configuring, and locating wildlife crossing structures, and monitoring and evaluating crossing effectiveness and maintenance of those structures.
The results are posted at AASHTO's Center for Environmental Excellence Web site at www.environment.trans portation.org under the Wildlife and Ecosystems' tab. It is an ideal place to learn the latest mitigation methods used in North America aimed at motorists and the animals they may encounter.
Greater emphasis
Transportation engineers have tried many methods and designs to lessen collisions with varying degrees of success. But with the added emphasis on environmental protection, these efforts have a higher priority. While many smaller animals do not threaten vehicles through collisions, they experience significant habitat loss and fragmentation because of roadway alignments. Transportation corridors limit wildlife's movement.
The report may help producers offer ideas during the design process about how concrete structures can help. Wildlife crossings may work well for one species but not for others. An international scan of wildlife habitat connectivity documented various strategies and designs used in Europe to improve the connectivity of wildlife habitats.
Developing successful designs, methods, and strategies to make roads safer for wildlife is just one aspect of managing highways to minimize the effects to the environment and maintain safety for motorists. The study also provided state DOTs with guidance on the use and effectiveness of wildlife crossings to mitigate habitat fragmentation and reduce the number of animal–vehicle collisions on our roads.

|Ray Smuckles of Achewood by Chris Onstad jumps over a wheelchair with a ball and chain attached, saying "DAAAAAAMN!". He has a martini. From this strip.
Roast Beef's depression is a major theme of his character and the strip. At the outset of his appearance in the Achewood universe, he expresses the wish to commit suicide repeatedly, though he has not mentioned past his first year in the strip. His actions and words (in a distinctive smaller font) are often explicitly steered by his low opinion of himself; depression is a simple fact of him. While sadness is a constant in his his characterization, the portrayal of his disability is far from static: his emotions are fluid, dependent on context, an advantage at time and a palpable pain at others. He is quite competent at computer programming (link to molly heaven) and garage sale management, and uses his depression to great effect in a business venture. It is something he combats and works with regularly. Roast Beef is often, as Dorian might put it, "depressed but otherwise fine."
Punchlines are subjective in Achewood - many things could be funny, innocuous, offensive, or just peculiar to each reader. And Onstad incorporates disability into humor without making Roast Beef in an amorphous punchline. His disability is there, neither definitively tragic or definitively a punchline. Beef's most serious challenges come and go and come; seasonal affective disorder is a source of melancholy when Beef struggles to eat, and, when he finds effective management, comedy and sexuality. (Beef is also just about the only character with a consistently healthy sex life, which is pretty transgressive). There is little shame in Onstad's depiction of Roast Beef, who is in many ways the moral center of the strip. His depression is not a plot device but a facet of his character, present even when not crucial.
Furthermore, Onstad takes care to show how Beef's disability has intersected with his lack of class privilege and history of abuse to amplify his poor opinion of himself. Roast Beef was raised in a low-income household with an abusive mother and grandmother. His background is usually presented in a fairly tragic light - while Achewood makes jokes about most things in life, its treatment of Beef's upbringing is fairly serious, even heavy-handed at times. His lifelong friendship with overprivileged Ray often throws this into sharp relief: Ray's upbringing has led to a lifetime of continuing wealth and overconfidence, whereas Beef has continued to struggle with poverty and feelings of worthlessness. It is clear that Beef's troubles are directly related to a lack of privilege, though I don't think that the connection to systematic oppression is articulated, and Onstad's association between class and happiness is quite problematic. However, the intersection is generally well-thought-out and sensitively handled - especially in comparison with the rest of the strip.
Unfortunately, beyond Beef's disabilities Onstad either ignores or makes a point of mocking disability and accessibility. Physical disability is mostly ignored, except for a few one-off jokes (one which juztaposes disability and dancing as if they never go together). But the most direct depiction of disability besides Beef comes in this horrible little comic, titled "Handicap Access" (transcript here). In the comic, Roast Beef and Ray, wearing tuxes, address the lack of accessibility in the comic. They then jump over wheelchairs and wheelchair ramps, and make fun of braille (which is conflated with Morse code), transcripts, captions, and speech output.*
This comic is intended to offend, satirizing not ableist resistance to accessibility but requests that websites become accessible. There are several points at which disability is presented as a joke: wheelchairs, wheelchair ramps, braille, captions are all presented as ridiculous requests. The wheelchair even has a ball and chain on it. Satire is a staple of Achewood, but it's more often expressed through silliness, e.g. Roomba Cinema. "Handicap Access" is supposed to be satire along the lines of the Fuck You Friday - abrasive and mean. But Fuck You Friday makes fun of the little frustrations of life - things like upselling at fast food joints, not major issues that impact health, mobility, and livelihood. Disability issues are presented as trivial and not worth serious consideration; in this installment, accessibility is a concept considered only long enough to be scoffed at. Achewood is not a political strip, and as I said, it takes many things lightly. But devoting a whole strip directly to mocking the concept's worth is mean-spirited and, well, ableist.**
Achewood is not a strip that is concerned with social justice; it looks at the world with a darkly comic and often flippant eye. The strip's attitude towards issues to social justice is not friendly, as evidenced by "Handicap Access" and the whining, selfish, self-righteous Pat. Onstad has written a multifaceted and worthwhile depiction of disability in the central character of Roast Beef. But his sneering attitude reminds the reader that Achewood is not a strip that gives a shit about equity, social action, or really any points of view that threatens the kyriarchy.
Check back soon for more Pat-esque analysis of gender and race in Achewood.
*Ironically, Achewood is actually more accessible than the much friendlier Questionable Content - every single script has been transcribed.
**A qualifier: This was back in 2005, when strips were posted several times a week and have a lot less weight than they do now. I am probably being a little hyperbolic about the weight of this strip in determining Onstad's attitude.

Health is intrinsic to poverty reduction and socioeconomic development. In the globalized world that we live in, while there are increased transnational health risks, there is increasing inter-dependence in the provision of healthcare between countries. Funding for health is fragmented and characterized by marked disparities between and within countries. In addition, impact of other key issues (e.g. climate change and water and sanitation) on health and a range of system constraints make it imperative to place health at the center of the broader development agenda both nationally and globally. Increasing proliferation of actors make greater collaboration and more effective global health governance crucial. Dr. Shaloo Puri draws lessons from her work and discusses the link of health and development, current challenges in global health and potential solutions. She was the Advisor, Global Health and Healthcare and the Country Representative (India), Global Health Initiative of the World Economic Forum. Prior to that she advised the Government of India as a World Health Organization consultant on Public Private Partnerships in health after working with grassroots NGOs for six years.

Smoldering trash item sparks Knott Landfill blaze
Likely BBQ briquette; firefighters warn to take care with trash
BEND, Ore. - A disposed-of, smoldering object – such as a used charcoal briquette – likely sparked a fire in a large trash trailer early Friday evening that caused about $30,000 damage to a receiving building at Deschutes County's Knott Landfill in southeast Bend, fire officials said.
Firefighters responded around 5:30 p.m. to the reported structure fire at the landfill at 61050 SE 27thy Street, said Bend fire Battalion Chief Dave Howe.
Crews arrived to find the large receiving building full of smoke, and a fire in a loaded, open-topped solid waste truck parked in an area below the grade of the building, where a loader pushes trash into it, Howe said. When it's full, they haul the trailer to the adjacent landfill for disposal.
Firefighters put out the fire and removed the smoke from the building, the battalion chief said. Since the truck was still drivable, it was moved to a remote area and emptied, so the contents could be fully extinguished.
County Solid Waste Director Timm Schimke confirmed the fire broke out in a garbage trailer parked in the loading stall of the facility but that the building itself was not burned in the blaze.
Still, losses were estimated at $30,000 to the building. Howe that estimate included not just smoke damage but an overhead door and some plastic windows.
Howe reminded the community to be very careful disposing of anything that has burned, such as briquettes or woodstove ashes, and to make sure they are fully cold before disposal.
County dispatchers said no injuries were reported and sheriff's deputies were on scene.
Bend Fire issued a personnel and fire chief callback and also called for utility crews to cut power to the building for a time.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
higher pressure = lighter
lower pressure = darker.
I never had much luck with the scanners.
I get better matches since I switched to a brand that has
color chips for the alternates within a paint code.
That's the main reason I don't use DuPont Chromabase anymore,
I love Chromabase, most user friendly base out there, but my
supplier uses the VIN no of the car to pick the alternate to
mix the paint by, and that doesn't always work.
Especially if the paint has faded.
With my present brand, matching the color chips to the actual car
gives me a choice, sometimes of several variants.
I usually get really close, after that, for a perfect match you have to
blend into the adjacent panel. Even the clear affects it.
Even if you are able to get the "perfect" color matching paint in the can, if it is a metallic paint, the spraying technique can radically affect the actual color on the car.
On the other hand, if you learn how to change the color with spraying technique, you can adjust the color to match.
I believe spraying a metallic paint wet tends to make the color lighter, because the metal flakes settle, and lay flat, reflecting more light.. Spraying dry tends to make the color darker, because the metal flakes stay on edge, and reflect less light.
Get a second bumper if you can. First, for practice, and second, your car will have a bumper while you are working on your car.
paint match
try to locate a shop that uses unkie dupie paint and has a scanner... when i worked in philly for dupont R&D paint i did cal's on those scanners... now for the life of me i can't think of the name.. find a paint supplier for the scanner.

Matching Chromabase silver
I confess that I personally haven't done pro body repair for a few years now, but at the last shop I worked at (Chev/ Toyota/ Chrysler dealer) we had our own DuPont color mixing system. Back then we used what DuPont called The VINdicator. What that was, was a way of mixing/matching paint that WE mixed by using the V.I.N. of the car. We would get into the paint computer, type in the DuPont color number, and then enter the V.I.N.. DuPont had supposedly had field reps at the manufacturing plants that had matched the actual car colors coming off the assembly line. While I don't know if that is 100% true, we did have extraordinary luck matching colors, even on high metallic Chrysler colors. I know for sure that 2 years ago that they still used this system, as I had my local paint supplier mix some deep blue metallic for my wife's Saturn, and the match was close enough that I did NOT blend the color. While this may not help you 100% ('04 GTO's I believe were Australian built) I would definitely ask your jobber if they can use the "VINdicator" to mix your paint. After all, ANY help matching paint is a plus. Sorry to be so long winded, but thought that it might help to mention this. Hope you have good luck !! Rick
"The paint shop recommended Chromabase ..... Any tips on how to get a close to exact match?"
It may just be a spot-on match out of the can.
Spray-out cards are fun BUT they do not dry at the same speed as the real parts and will give a different metallic pattern than your bumpers. Ask around for an old bumper to test spray on.
|Trial and error, and take careful notes of what you did. If you do not like the match, change one thing, and redo it. Make note of what you changed, and the results. Redo again, if necessary.
Any advice on matching chromabase silver?
So I know this isn't an old hotrod (or even a really cool one for that matter) but I'm getting ready to repaint the bumpers on my 2004 GTO. The color is Quicksilver Metallic. The paint shop recommended Chromabase but I have never done anything other than a full spray. I know silver is incredibly hard to match. Any tips on how to get a close to exact match? Mismatching bumpers will definitely do me no good. Thanks

Hey all,
Here is some progress shots of my rattle can attempt. Here is the chest armor prior to weathering. At some point, I think I am going to get a set of armor painted up by one of the TDH pros, but for now, I am reasonably satisfied by how these are turning out.
Was looking for comments prior to finalizing and attaching decals. Photos below:

chevy 5.3 & random misfire problem?
hey all got a problem with my Avalanche I cannot seem to track down.
2003 avalanche z71 4x4
65,620 miles
cats were warranty swapped out a year ago.
so two weeks ago I went out and start my truck before work and it's warming up and the check engine light comes on. i plug in the scanner and it says P0300 random/multiple misfire. I clear the light and drive to work. it sits outside all day and I figure I was going to get the CEL come back on. nope. next morning I get the same thing.
not knowing what the problem is and the scanner is not isolating it to any single cylinder last weekend I changed the plugs, fuel filter, pcv, cleaned out the throttle body. truck ran great. no light in the mornings so I assumed it was all good.
yesterday I went out in the morning and started it and the CEL comes back and the scanner again says P0300 random/multiple misfire and it is idling a bit rough. clear the light and when the temp gets to around 160 (read by the scanner not the guage) it idles fine.
since this morning was cold I went out and started it up and sprayed carb cleaner all around the outside and inside of the intake figuring it was an intake gasket problem but rough idle didn't fluctuate according to the scanner it was rough but the carb cleaner at the intake didn't make a difference? I got a spray bottle with water and sprayed the wires thinking that maybe the cold start was causing a possible moisture problem and once the wires got warm and dry the problem would go away but again I could not duplicate the problem once the truck was warmed up.
my mpg hasn't changed and it runs great except for a few minutes in the morning and it's got me stumped. any ideas?

I tend to wonder if you are having a condinsation issue with your ignition system? the idea that it does it only in the mornig leeds me to thing theres a cracked coil or water getting into something that has to cook it off.
|November 30th, 2008, 11:06 AM
the scanner says that the heated O2 and O2 are working correctly. since the CEL light will sometimes flash I thought it may be an O2 sensor issue but the tool says otherwise. the MAP sensor reads 10.2 at idle and the MAF reads .79. all other systems come back fine.
My neighbor (a ford dealer mechanic) was thinking the same thing you mentioned about the condensation issue. he was the one who recommended that I spray water on the wires and coil to see if I could duplicate the issue.
again this morning I removed the intake cover and tried to see if I could get the carb cleaner on the intake. I have used 1/2 can on it over the last two days and no dice.

Check the fuel pressure regulator too. I have replaced alot of those on those models. Remove the vacuum hose going to it and see if it is leaking fuel. If it is the diaphram is bad and it needs to be replaced. That will give you a hard start warm also..

Watch your o2's or short term fuel trims while spraying the lower intake. I use propane or brake cleaner. If your o2's go high and/or you trims go neg. it is probably the o-rings. Sometimes it won't affect idle to much but you will see it with the scanner.

I do quite of these, we also have a smoke machine to help find the vac. leaks but I still prefer propane/brake cleaner.
Make sure you test it cold, they seal up when they get warm
|December 1st, 2008, 09:30 AM
update. so it sits from 7 last night until 7:50 this morning and no issues at all. wtf? i am starting to wonder if it just hasn't been occasional bad gas. ran fuel system cleaner through a tank a week ago. this morning on my fill up i added some drygas so i'll see what happens.

P0300 Random Misfire
I have a 2003 Avalanche with 5.3 4x4, and I had a similar issue. I noticed when I was driving everything seemed to be fine but when I came to a stop my truck was idling a bit rough. My engine light started flashing and then just stayed on. I hooked up my scanner and the only code was P0300 random misfire. I took it in and had a fuel injection clean done. Same issue. The mechanic told me that it was the intake gasket. Hoping that it wasn't I changed the plugs and wires but the problem persisted... however, all of the plugs that run down the passenger side were fouled (covered in black soot). I realized that all of the cylinders were getting way too much fuel. All of these cylinders are regulated by one of four O2 sensors. I changed the sensor and Everything has been running great ever sense. Hope this helps and Good luck.

does anyone know if this is this common on newer engines as well? my 06 2500 6.0 has a rough idle in the morning when cold but doesn't set a light. i'm going to check the manifold for cracks now i know where to look. changed plugs once and it never made a difference.

Greetings All,
I want to say thanks for the Great Forum. I've had a few issues over the last 10 years on my 2003 z71 4x4 but none of which ever frustrated me as much as the dreaded P0300 code. Mine started with a P0306 I believe, nevertheless my scanner was telling me cylinder 6 had misfired. No problem I thought, at least it isolated the Cylinder. My truck has 255,000 on it right now so I swapped the coil of my LS1 and on the next drive P0300 came up. Prior to this other than using about a quart of oil between changes it has always had power to spare. I put back the coil and plug wire and still had P0300 I have never had a coil issue or misfire ever until now. After reading the numerous threads here and all over the net as well as every dang service bulletin I had convinced myself I had an intake manifold leak. It took me forever to find it, and it was minimal at best. I changed the gasket to the Modern style and it was good for about a day then P0300 returned. Next I was sure the Cats were clogged because I removed the O2,s (still plugged in) and my idle smoothed out and I had Power again but not as good as normal. I live in Indiana where we have no vehicle inspection so Straight Pipes were installed in Place of Clogged Cats(I never got a CAT code).
Next I had my buddy who tunes come by to delete the rear O2's from the ECM tune, as well as delete CAT codes. When he arrived we went for a road test and P0300 pops up. He was able to communicate while we're driving and clear codes then check it out but the code kept coming back. My O2's all 4 yet still on the tune were working perfectly within specs but the Fuel Trims were turning Bank 2 off and telling Bank 1 to dump more fuel. He couldn't tune my problem away but did recommend I pull the intake back off because I may have pinched the camshaft sensors wire when putting the intake back together. He said it happens a lot. I tore it apart and it was all good, put it back together and it started fine till the ECM took over then P0300 back again.
Today I went over everything and whil unplugging the passenger side 02 sensor I noticed a spot of water got on my fingers. Upon inspection I could see a mild corrosion on one terminal in the engine harness side. More importantly I blew into the connector and a lot more water was in there. I grabbed an airline and blew it out and reconnected it, cleared the codes and went for the Best Ride ever in my 255,000 mile truck, no codes at all after 60 mile road trip. Truck runs great with no Cats, and rear O2's still plugged in taking readings. Early this week my Tuners coming by to Tweak it for the increased air flow, man it's nice to be able to turn the tires over again if I want to. Gotta Love them Chevy's!
Thanks for the Forum Again, very informative!
Oh btw the moisture build up was getting into the harness running inside the cover over the wires leafing to the O2 sensor, it was coming off my AC lines.

I'm surprised this little web game hasn't made its way to these boards.
How to Play
-- You give two choices, like "Red or blue?"
-- The next player chooses one and posts another two choices.
-- Each person's post doesn't have to be related to the previous choices, so the next player could post "daisies or roses?" instead of more colors.
-- Each player HAS TO pick one of the choices. Like, you can't say "Yellow" if the choices are red and blue. (You can comment that you prefer yellow, but you still have to choose red or blue.)
Okay, I'll start.
Chili or Stew?

Chan's score at COR for that FS with all those doubles was quite inflated, IMO. Yeah, I get he didn't splat all over the place but apart from the quads, the rest of his jump content was like novice men level

The Plaza Hotel

It's an older hotel, so it has a romantic charm. The rooms could be updated. The old window air conditioner was loud through the night.
Refreshing vintage style (Built and operational since the 20s) with modern updates. Very clean and comfortable. Staff was more than curtious. I wanted to move in. A bit drafty. That's it.
The cafe was wonderful. The staff were fantastic. We initially had a room that smelled like smoke. After telling the staff about this, they instantly changed our room to a different one. They made a bad situation into a great situation.
Location. Room was comfortable. Full kitchen. No elevator. Restaurant limited offerings and hours
It was a nice hotel. Dated, but still clean and professional. For the price it was worth it. Parking is not included, but a complimentary breakfast is. It's on the higher end of free breakfasts from mid-price hotels. Waffle maker, eggs, sausages, baked goods, bagels, fruit, cereal, milk, juice, coffee. Enough fuel to get your mornings going well. It had square pillows. And they gave you many. Weird, but not the end of the world.
Definitely an economy hotel and nothing more. It becomes pretty obvious that management put all of their money into the restaurant and bar area and doesn't care at all about the maintenance of the rooms Beyond changing bed sheets and making sure door locks work. I lifted up the curtain above the window and saw layers of wallpaper crumbling from years of neglect. This place is in need of a total renovation. The price paid was not terrible since the location is great, right next to the lakefront, but we would not stay here again unless we had to. On top of that, $15 a night for parking in an empty parking garage attached to the hotel? You've got to be kidding me. And then the receptionist lied to me and said there was nowhere else to park other than the street in which I would have to call the police to okay my vehicle overnight. There is no sign that says no overnight parking, and it was apparent that everyone else in the area utilized street parking overnight. So I parked in the street and lo and behold not a single car was ticketed, nor did anyone have a special permit in their window. Tons of stuff was within walking distance, plenty of great restaurants and bikes for rent. This place has a lot of potential if somebody would invest into some much needed updates to Pull this place out of the 1980s See above
continental breakfast, location, overnight staff's willingness to fix problems clogged sink in room, evening staff's unwillingness to fix problem or switch rooms
Our walk to summerfest was short, that's what I liked. This hotel was listed as a 4 star....Wrong! This place was old and dirty. The parking situation was horrible. Don't bother looking at this one, move on. Way over priced the the quality. I would have expected to pay half of that.
Location was great for where I needed to be. No restaurant during the day. Cleanliness am issue as well. Nothing like the pictures on their web site.
I liked the location and the partial vies of the water. The air conditioner unit is older and every time is turned on it roared to life and was loud and continually woke us up.
Great location. Good bed. Refrigerater ,air conditioning worked great No pool
Love the location of this hotel. Near the lake and a lot of nice attractions. The new owners are making some nice changes to the hotel. I couldn't connect to the internet with my computer or my IPhone using the hotel wifi connection. When I said something to the person at the front desk she offered me the number of the provider. I told her she should call. I do not ever have problems with my IPhone connecting to a wifi and my computer was correctly configured. It was the hotel"s problem not mine. I found it annoying that the staff didn't take this request seriously. I also mentioned it at check out and the person on duty didn't even respond to my comment.
Everyone in the hotel staff was very friendly, the room was clean and there was a lovely rooftop patio with a nice view of the lake. We will return! Yes, the hotel is a little tired looking, but it was not really that big of a deal. The restaurant on site was a different story. We were in for a concert and hit the bar after the show. Eric the bartender was a bit of a jerk and people trying to bring food to eat at the bar, after the kitchen was closed, were turned away. What sort of idiot sends paying (and tipping) patrons away like that? If the rule to disallow outside food is solely to protect food sales (as he said), then either serve food until close or shut up when someone wants to buy your beer and eat their pizza. He also rudely took my pint glass and gave me a plastic cup in the middle of a beer because he wanted to wash the glass. Sorry, does my presence at the bar inconvenience you? No worries, it won't again. Great stay at the hotel though...just find somewhere else for the nightcap!
Front desk staff was friendly The bartender on Saturday night was very rude. Didn't seem to like his job at all. Kept complaining about having customers while he was trying to be I his phone.
Old charm, but well maintained. A minor problem with a leak in the shower
My kitchenette was all new with new dishes, oven,gas stove, microwave and mini refrig. The room was clean as well as the bathroom. Nice sheets and the room was warm (I stayed during a blizzard.) My sister's room was not as nice. The kitchenette in her room had old cabinets and appliances. Her bath was great with the exception of the toilet which was old and could have used a new seat.
I loved the location. The staff were friendly and accommodating. We had a late night snack in the restaurant and the burger and salad were delicious. It's an upscale neighborhood and I felt very safe walking around. A lot of things to do within walking distance or a 2-3 minute drive. The hotel decor was very Art Deco. Most of the rooms had a kitchenette. The room was small and the bathroom needed a little updating. They only offered queen size beds and my husband and I are used to a king. No where in the advertising was the fact that to park in the gated lot (which was very nice) was an additional $15.00. It wasn't a big deal but would have been nice to know beforehand. It would have been tough finding parking on the street on the Saturday night that we stayed. No fan in the bathroom! May not seem like a big deal but after a couple of showers the room was hot and humid.
its got character, its cheap, great location.
Stately, quiet old hotel in a great location. In need of renovation and TLC. No continental breakfast.
Fair price for what you get. Not very good outlet placement which isn't the end of the world or anything huge, but charging my phone was a pain due to location and the outlets are so old that your charger falls out regularly
I'm from the Milwaukee area and have not had an opportunity to visit, let alone stay, at the Astor. Loved the rooms and the location to so many sites. The staff was great. Daniel took care of a little hiccup with refreshing professionalism.
It is located with in walking distance to the downtown and BMO. Friendly helpful staff. Close to the lake for a great morning stroll. Have had breakfast in their restaurant and it was above average. Will stay there again. Free parking. nothing
Room was nice and comfortable. Amenities and staff sport were lacking.
location was excellent. old historic hotel with charm in need of renovation.
Location, a short walk to Water St & Lakefront, classic beauty & character, not a cookie cutter 'new' hotel. Replace the outlets, plugs fell out
Good location, Staff was friendly, Old, antique, run-down, rooms were like old worn bedrooms, kinda creepy, bathrooms not the cleanest, beds and pillows uncomfortable, in desperate need for remodeling. Semi-decent for a cheap one night stay if you're traveling in and out of the city and aren't spending much time there and want something affordable. Staff was friendly and very decent
My. Husband and I stayed at the Astor for a wedding. It was so comfortable, quaint and the staff was extremely nice. We also really enjoyed the attached bar/restaurant. The only downfall is that they dont offer even as little as coffee in the morning, it is $10 for parking and the walls are extremely thin. Overall, our stay was amazing for the amount of money we paid. We will definitly be staying at the Astor more.

Just picked up my sig mosquito, hope to take it to the range on sunday.
.22lr pistols can be great for cross-training with your favorite pistol, fun for plinking and introducing to new shooters. With this Philosophy of Use, which one do you like best?
Just picked up my sig mosquito, hope to take it to the range on sunday.
Don <><
The Sig Mosquito works great for cross training if you own a Sig. It's patterned after the P226. I have a P6 and the Mosquito. Work great together.
I don't think the .22 has to be exactly like your other guns to benefit you in your training. Many of the skills you can hone while shooting a .22 are transferable to any and all your other handguns IMO. I've got a Browning Challenger II that's been an excellent gun to practice my shooting skills with without breaking the bank.
I have a conversion kit for my glock 17 that makes it a 22LR,I think itis great,Just my opinion,But than again I own a number of taurus hand guns.there was a time I would not thing of b uying one,but now I like them,I have had 0 problems so far,They are not the best made guns out there,but I have seen worse.I like the price.I have a 1400.00 Kimber and have had nothing but problems with it,I love it and it is a beautiful gun but I just got a bad one.I still think they are a great c/c gun.
With a conversion kit you can train with the same weapon you use for HD and SD.....JJ
My Tactical Solutions 22 lr conversion for my Glock 22 suits the bill just fine. Nicely made. Feeding is no problem w/ CCI mini mags
There are a ton of guns out there that are made in centerfire and rimfire.

I have the S&W 22A as my target pistol.
I also have the Bersa pair: Thunder 380 & Thunder 22
Haven't had a problem with any of them.
I also have a Taurus Model 9422 revolver, fun little gun to carry when walking through our woods.
I have the Ruger MKII and III and love them. Have never failed me and are very accurate.
Just picked up my Ruger SR22 tonight. Range this weekend. Guessing CCI mini mags but what about that "canned heat" stuff I've seen? Is that even come in .22? Will the Winchester 333 36g HP at 1280 fps work? It's all new to me.
I know, I'm moving from 9mm @ .28 a round to a 22 @ .05 a round and I'm still looking to save money. Still waiting for my Shield to show up. Saving for that.
I had to go with the Ruger Mk III. The pistol is built to last a lifetime, and I have over 5,000 rounds through my Mk II and it is still running as good as the day I bought it.
I use the CZ-75 Kadet conversion for teaching new shooters. It's accurate and easy to operate, and when they have it down pat, it takes a few seconds to turn it into 9mm. The transition has always been smooth.
If they are good enough to try a shorter model, the Walther P-22 is great, but very few new shooters can hit anything with it, without a lot of practice.
Although I voted for the Ruger Mk III pistol I prefer the Mk II's and they are what I own (3 to be exact) I also own the Walther P22 and it is a good pistol for what it is. Also not on the list is the Bersa Thunder 22 which happens to be another great little pistol although often over looked or looked down on because it's a Bersa, they are often seen as cheap because they're inexpensive, for what ever reason folks seem to think less of them and they're missing out on an accurate, reliable, and fun to shoot little gun.

wheel adapters???????
On my semi-sleepy cruise to the shop this morning, I stopped at a light next to a new crew cab 4X4 Dodge super ram 350 (one ton). I spilled coffee all over my genuine imitation llama fur seat cover, when I noticed this truck was sitting on polished aluminum, 22.5 inch real honest to g*d semi wheels and tires, just like the big boys, chrome nut covers , dinner plate size center covers, and a ton of attitude.
I tried to catch the guy to get a better look, but I guess he was as zoned out as I was, I lost him in traffic.
I'm plannin' a new tow rig, based on a '79 GMC extended cab, 1 ton pickup. Shortened wheelbase, 4 foot box, ladder bar/air ride,3 inch body lift. air ride seats,and lotsa power junk in da trunk, set up to hual both goose neck and tag trailers.
I gotta ask, how is this done, adapters? Can I get them for my GMC ? Who makes them? How much $$$$$$$$$$? Custom one offs? Off the shelf ? HELP !!!!!!!!!!
Living in South West Florida, (25 feet past the end of the known world, we don't get out much ) I'm pretty sure I'm the last guy to find out about this wheel wrinkle, so, If you folks can spool me up, maybe I can get some sleep tonight. Thank's in advance, RED CADDY (Paul)

McConaughey, Harrelson take on grisly murder in 'True Detective'ter Gabriel, fellow big-name artists swap tunes
By PIYA SINHA-ROY
Reuters | January 08. 2014 11:46PM
"True Detective" marks yet another step for McConaughey into heftier dramatic roles after years of lighter fare that included goofball romantic comedies like "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days." His darker, grittier projects include 2011's "Killer Joe" and 2012's "Mud." The actor has most recently lead acting award nominations at the Golden Globes and Screen Actors Guild for his turn as homophobic drug-addict AIDS sufferer Ron Woodroof in "Dallas Buyers Club." The transition to darker projects coincides with McConaughey settling down in his personal life, now married with three children.
While Harrelson became a household name as bartender Woody Boyd in 1980s TV sitcom "Cheers" and has moved between film and TV throughout his career, "True Detective" marks McConaughey's first major venture in television, which brought its Lose a Guy in 10 Days."
"This first stage in 1995, where Rust Cohle is very stoic, and boiling underneath, I had to do that for over a month. And after a month, I was getting antsy thinking 'Am I doing enough?'" In the 17 years, McConaughey's Cohle undergoes a big transformation, from a young clean-cut and determined man to a beer-swigging, pony-tailed cynic.

A federal appeals court ruled that filmmaker Michael Moore did not defame an Iraqi war veteran when Moore used a clip from a television interview without his permission in the anti-war documentary "Farenheit 9/11″ Army Sgt. Peter Damon, who lost an arm in combat, claimed he was humilitated and emotionally distressed when Moore used the clip to make an attack on President Bush and the war in Iraq. Damon said in his interview with Moore he was complaining about a drug that he was using and not attacking the president or the war in Iraq but Moore made it appear he was making anti-war comments.
Judge Aida Delgado-Colon said: "There is no reason to believe that a reasonable member of the military or veteran community would cnclude that Damon's appearance in the documentary conveyed a defmanatory meaning, and therefore lowered his reputation or subjected him to scorn, hatred, ridicule or contempt in that community."
Television people whether intentionally or unintentionally frequently transform the words of someone being interviewed into expressions that bear slight resemblance to what was said. Unfortunately, that is the world of television.

Both sides are offering cuts. They just disagree on where and how much.
I have said it before, they are all crooked and corrupt. None of them are going to make meaningful cuts, but all will go along with raising taxes. It's just that the repubs. do 6% of the job where the dems only do 4% of the job.
How about freezing all salaries of Congress and Senate until they come up with some workable? I don't get paid for not doing my job.
Quote from: luvin honey on December 18, 2012, 02:46:49 PMHow about freezing all salaries of Congress and Senate until they come up with some workable? I don't get paid for not doing my job.If you compare the salary of members of Congress to the responsibilities of members of Congress, they are grossly underpaid Anyone handling a multi-trillion dollar budget in the private sector would be paid much more. Of course, the real problem is bribery (read campaign contributions, speaking fees, book deals etc etc.) My suggestion is that each member of Congress should be paid $1 million per year and should be prohibited from receiving any other family income at all. No investments, no book deals, nothing . That would help reduce bribery and also make it more possible for less wealthy but talented people to serve in Congress.
