If it is Nikon DSLR it is normally recommended by Trusted Review. I am not sure whether this website recommended a Nikon D80 when it was released way back then in 2007/8(not sure which year).
I used to own a Nikon D80 with the kit lens, the image quality(IQ) is INFERIOR in all aspects(e.g Jpeq and Raw,lens sharpness,colour, etc)) compared to the newly arrived micro 4/3rds, e.g. E-PL1. So don't buy a 2nd hand Nikon D80. The IQ from my E-PL1 is by far superior to D80 even when taken in Jpeg mode. D80 has an advantage over the E-PL1 in terms of its interoperability i.e ease of use and control.
The Nikon D80 was released in 2006. That's a long time ago in digital camera terms, so it's not surprising that the E-PL1 (Feb 2010) has more advanced and refined processing.
*Most* DSLRs are recommended by TR - all but one Nikon, all but one Canon, more than half the Sonys, many Olympus, no Sigmas (yet). That's because most of these cameras are excellent tools.
I found this a useful short review. But (as a disclaimer, and highlighting why I find the D7000 far more exciting than a D80 or D90) I still shoot with a 2001 Nikon D1h - just short of 3MP, but lightning fast, and can meter with manual focus Nikon lenses. This latter *professional* feature of the D7000 is worth pointing out.
For the iso shots, would it be possible to photograph different colour cars? (or ducks) Some cameras struggle with certain colours and currently we would be unable to see that.
One other thing about the D80, it was (almost) the last of the first generation of Nikon's digital cameras. The jump to the second generation stuff (D3, D300, D90 etc) is substantial and brings HUGE image improvements in a lot of cases.
Now on the D700 I must admit my inner gadget geek is drooling over this but while it's certainly a step up from my D90 it's not really far enough for my sort of use to justify it. There's also a nagging thought in my head that there's a big space in Nikon's range currently occupied by the D90 which I still consider the sweet spot for those looking for something more than the entry level cameras for whatever reason. It's not that hard to imagine a D7000 variant with a plastic body, simpler auto-focus system and a few other tweaks slotting into that hole sometime in 2011 and if that does happen that'll be a real gem.
Looks like a nice camera.
In addition to joose's request of have objects of different colour in the ISO tests, it would really help to see the images at a pixel level to judge what's going on - i.e. 100% crops. A rescaled full image just averages out the noise and makes images look fine (unless noise is dramatically bad).
On your other test shots, note that converging verticals and barrel distortion are not the same thing. And pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease learn to hyphenate compound adjectives!
"Full frame"? come on!
This is mere amateurism. Please ask some more advanced amateurs what are the proper terms to be used, and please provide the readers with 1:1 (or 100% magnification) crops in the ISO Performance section (the current crops are 40% at best, and I suspect that most of the crops in the other sections are not 100%/1:1 either).
Sorry for being so brutal, but such amateurism in such kind of reviews cannot be treated in any different manner.
@Kaplan: i think those are 100% crops; they're referred to as "full resolution crops".
@monto: I wasn't aware of that - thanks for sharing. Though that said, I find with modern high mp cameras, I can't manual focus particularly well anyway. Just can't seem to judge the focus well enough through the view finder to get something which is accurately focussed when viewed at 100%. And i use a d3s, which is "only" 12mp ish! I've never really manually focussed though, so perhaps it's just a skill which requires practice like any other.
@James Thomas: What's amateurish about full-frame?
I'll double check with Gavin about the cropped images and get him to do crops for the ISO shots.
A review of a Nikon DSLR can not be described as biased if it concludes that such a camera is capable of high quality pictures.
I've used several Nikon DSLR cameras: D100, D70S, D80, D300, & D700. Picture quality was always superb but I still have special feelings to those shot with the D80 because I could see some depth in each picture. On the other hand, it was the only camera that failed during its first year of use & I had to get it serviced before I sold it.
Finally, I would say that the camera settings make a lot of a difference. Lately I had this bad experience with my D700 which usually renders the highest quality pictures. It's not the camera that should be blamed but the inappropriate settings.
@James Thomes - What IS the proper term? If you are referring to the lack of hyphenation in "full frame", then can I direct you to both the Sony and Canon websites? Both show the term non-hyphenated.
@Metalex: I think he's referring to the usage of "full frame" in the iso comparison shot captions, which is a little mis-leading as convetionally "full frame" (when not used in the context of image sensor size) is used to refer to the entire image captured. However, I'm not sure it warranted such a vitriolic diatribe. ;)
Yea, Simon is right, and his politeness warrants praise. Not only is the term misleading, but the crops in themselves are DOWNSCALED. I repeat, DOWNSCALED. If one fails to see this, one is not qualified to review cell-phone cameras, let alone a Nikon DSLR. Please!
@simon: it's a bit ambiguous from what's written, but if the top image is 16mp then the images below surely cannot be 100% crops. Plus if that IS a 100% crop and there is essentially no noise at ISO6400 then that's pretty amazing
@Ed: "Full frame" is a bit confusing because of its other meaning: http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...
True, Ed. I apologise, and please feel free to delete the venomous comments. I'll try to pinpoint the main problem as I perceive it:
In the ISO section, Gavin seems be (justly) following the convention established by Cliff, namely, supplying the readers with a full/complete picture on the top of the page, and then, in ascending order, 100% resolution crops taken from similar pictures shot at various ISO sensitivities. But in this review, as well as in the previous one, the full picture on the top IS NOT followed by 100% resolution crops, but rather by what seams to be 50-60% resolution crops (those oddly referred to as "full frames").
I hope that this point is clear now, as it is an essential one in such reviews. In fact, Gavin current method in the ISO section would reveal no dramatic difference between the ISO performance of a DSLR and that of a simple point-and-shoot.
Thanks and again, sorry.
Simon jackson: It's not just you, the viewfinders in modern dSLRs (and indeed autofocus 35mm film SLRs) are simply not designed for manual focusing. The focusing screens on pre-autofocus cameras used split-screen and microprism or other features to aid manual focusing. Now these are gone, as it is (correctly) assumed that the majority of users will be happy using autofocus. For those of us who do want to focus manually, some dSLRs can beep or flash to confirm focus during manual focusing (going by the camera's AF points); if you're really committed to manual focusing then you can fit third-party focusing screens to many major dSLRs at about £100 a go (although the downside is these generally mess with the autofocus and/or metering systems).
@MrGodfrey - re: manual focusing, something else has changed also. If you still have a film SLR, and a dSLR, hold one to each eye and see the difference in size of viewfinder. The old film SLR viewfinder fills the eye, the dSLR viewfinder, in comparison, is like looking down the wrong end of binoculars. Much of this is due to the "crop" factor, but even so called "full frame" dSLRs have smaller viewfinder magnifications than typical film SLRs. Given that the viewfinder is probably the single most important part of the SLR (I feel a flame coming), it is a shame it receives so little attention.
Question. While a HDMI cable is attached and in use is it possible to also see the live view display on the camera? If so what are the menu settings to accomplish this? Thanks.
Martin - Very true, although just to be extra pedantic I should point out that even autofocus film SLRs have rubbish viewfinders compared to all-manual ones. Once autofocus was introduced the manufacturers figured they could get away with cutting costs here. There are honourable exceptions - the Minolta Dynax 7 had a nice big bright finder, as have some Pentax dSLRs. With digital SLRs I suppose cost-cutting is a bit more forgiveable since so much extra technology has to be crammed in, but I agree it's a real shame you generally have to buy a professional-grade dSLR to get a viewfinder half as good as that found in a £5 Chinon in your local charity shop.
Elie Boujaoude,
I tried all sort of settings with my D80, the output is not satisfactory period. The images compared with my E-PL1 is like chalk and cheese.
I will never buy a DSLR because it is too balky and heavy to carry even though they in general give me a better image quality.
@simon jackson - most of the AF Nikons I've used (film and digital - no D3s yet, though) have an electronic rangefinder which indicates focus using marks in the bottom left hand corner of the viewfinder: > o <, where the filled in 'o' indicates correct focus at the chosen focus point and the '>' and '<' marks indicate out-of-focus. This works with manual lenses as well as autofocus ones. Hope this helps...
A couple of comments:
- For high ISO shots, using brownish and smooth objects does not make much sense (especially if the scene is well lit). There should be more color and some objects with fine texture (like fur, hair or cloth) to see if the sensor is losing color and fine detail in high ISO shots. Previous car models were a lot better (still not sufficient, but at least there were colors). And the crops should be %100.
- For high ISO shots again, there should be some shadow to see how much detail the sensor can capture in shadow areas in high ISO.
- Seeing how much the sensor can recover in shadow and highlight areas would be nice.
I know TR is not a dedicated photography site, but these are simple tests and TR is one of the sites I visit every day, and improvement is not a bad thing :)
@Ertan Ozturk: A good point, I'll see if Gavin has any alternatives he could use.
The ISO crop sizes should now be fixed on this and all previous photos - it was actually a publishing error, not Gavin's fault.
@MrGodfrey: Ah yes - I remember the spit screen feature from an old Minolta SLR my dad used to own. Very intuitive and simple to use. I would definitely consider such a modification, though the interference with the metering and AF performance would probably be a deal breaker for me. I'm a wedding photographer, and do a lot of fast paced candid/reportage stuff, so good AF performance is really crucial most of the time. Can't afford to compromise it. Might be a cheaper entry-level crop body though and mod that...:D
@monto: Yeah i do have the little rangefinder thing, but my assumption has been that relying on the rangefinder to indicate focus is more or less the same as using the AF. In other words, it'll achieve the same results. The time manual focus would be most use to me is in dimmer, lower contrast environments where my 70-200 can tend to hunt. I assume - perhaps wrongly - that the rangefinder function will lead to results which are just as innacurate as the AF...
I've been using my D7000 for a month and a half - changed from a D90 - great camera except the buffer size - if you bracket as I do, shooting raw after 7 shots -it stops and you need to wait several very long-seeming seconds for the write-to-card to catch up - I tried a class 10 SD on the off chance but it makes no difference - it's very irritating and rather tight of Nikon I think - a 9 shot buffer (ie 3 x 3 bracket shots) might have been more thoughtful design - but that's all I can fault (I never experienced a problem with the D90 in over 15,000 exposures in the 15 months I had it)
I like that I can use my old Ai lenses on aperture priority (all I use anyway) and not have to guestimate exposure and look at the screen.
If you have a D90 you won't notice much difference in use - its a bit heavier, the files are larger and if you want to continue to use CS4 then you'll be converting to DNG from RAW - if you shoot RAW - to edit pics or going to CS5 - which I didn't want to but CS5 does fix some CS4 bugs like crashing out when using some Nik Efex filters
@MrGodfrey et al - the D7000 has a focus indicator in the bottom left of the view finder - I use it with my old Ai primes

cool man,i like it!
WOW that is soooo cool. how did you weather it? did you dry brush silver or paint silver under black and mask or sand? Nice Mando. I always am lery about variants but that is sweet. Almost like well.... is almost half as good as this to be acceptable.
Very Nice, I love the black, mines going to have alot black too. Just great.
Nice very nice. I was wondering what black gear would llook like and you have answered that. Sweet mando.
That looks great-like the helmet alot.
I agree ... I really like the look.
Sweet !!
very nice. i like the little accents of orange, nice touch.
Originally, I was going to use black for my armors main colors but I decided on a grey and white color scheme as it's different from pretty much everyone elses thus far anyway. Hopefully it'll remain that way as I don't want some young, green, upstart like Jodo Kast to steal my persona... BTW, the armor looks great, very well done.
now I'm working on a backpack. stay tuned...
I like the black, very detailed weathering.
awesome! looks pretty sweet.. and very evil!

The Neuropsychology Section is composed of specialists in the study of brain-based skills. The Section has a long-standing program of federally funded research into reading and attentional disorders with the National Institutes of Health.
They have been one of the major, federally funded dyslexia research sites for the last 15 years. The program is distinctive in that research knowledge serves as the basis for the in-depth clinical evaluations. Research has focused on dyslexia in particular, one of several distinct learning disabilities, which is a specific language-based disorder that may affect early language development and acquisition of reading skills.
Faculty and staff provide a wide range of assessment and treatment services for children, adolescents and adults. Assessment services include neuropsychological evaluation, which consists of a variety of tests to measure brain-based difficulties like those associated with head injury, neurological disorder or brain trauma.
Additionally, there is a heavy emphasis on assessment of learning disabilities. We offer specific evaluations for early reading skill development in children age 5 and up, including risk of dyslexia.
Specialty treatment areas include cognitive remediation for a variety of disorders, including memory, organizational and attentional impairment. Neuropsychology services also include specialized consultation and treatment for reading disorders, as well as psychotherapy.
Tutoring by a certified Wilson Reading System teacher is available for students of all ages with reading disabilities and language disorders. Tutoring sessions are generally one-on-one, although group sessions are occasionally available. Furthermore, the section teacher specializes in working with English as a Second Language (ESL) students, including assessment and remediation.
Given its strong history of research and clinical expertise, the Neuropsychology Section offers professional development training for groups and institution. Such training includes group sessions in reading assessment and reading intervention, like that used in a school or teaching environment.
Neuropsychology personnel provide training to teachers in learning disability assessment and remediation of students who are limited English proficient (LEP). Focused Spanish-language training for teachers and other school personnel is also available.
Individual section members regularly provide workshop and symposium lectures on a variety of topics.
The Predictive Assessment of Reading (PAR) is a highly reliable instrument designed to measure reading skills in children K-3. The PAR can accurately determine if a child is at risk for reading disability and tests phonemic awareness, fluency, vocabulary and word identification. A version of the PAR has also been developed for the Hispanic population.
The PAR can be administered individually in our clinic and is also licensed for group use through the Office of Technology Asset Management at the Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center. For more information, visit www.predictiveassessment.com or contact the Office of Technology Asset Management at 336-716-3729.

Types of Study Abroad Programs
There are three main types of study abroad programs. Each offers its own unique experiences. The type of program in which you choose to participate will be based on your individual goals, course of study, and preferences. The Director of Study Abroad and your academic advisor can assist you with your decision. Below is a description of each type of program.
1. Faculty-led programs or study tours
A faculty-led program or study tour involves one or more faculty members taking a group of their students to study or travel abroad for, in most cases, a short period of time, commonly between 2-4 weeks.
2. Third-Party Provider Programs
Third-party providers are non-profit organizations or colleges and universities that have established relationships with various institutions abroad to organize and run programs for students enrolled in higher education across the United States. The third-party provider and the institution abroad handle all logistics, including assistance with course registration and housing.
In many cases a student takes courses at the local university abroad, as well as courses designed specifically for the program participants. Third-party providers often offer internships and service-learning opportunities for students. Third-party providers offer programs for the academic year, semester, summer (4-8 weeks) and, in some cases, winter or J-term programs.
All programs are offered for university credit and a transcript from the third-party provider or the institution abroad is received at the conclusion of the program.
3. Exchange Programs
An exchange program is an agreement one U.S. college or university has with a university abroad. These agreements specifically spell out all details of the relationship. In most cases, one student from the U.S. college or university essentially trades places with one student from the university abroad. Exchange programs are offered for a full semester or academic year.
An example of this is Felician's exchange agreement with University of Ulsan in Korea. Felician students can study at Ulsan for a semester or year and take courses in English. The exchange program is offered for university credit, and a transcript is issued upon completion of the program. In addition, some institutions abroad with exchange agreements may also offer short-term summer programs for students from their exchange partners. The University of Ulsan does offer such a program, where Felician students can take Korean language and culture courses for approximately four weeks. The program is free for students with the exception of airfare and minimal insurance and registration fees.
Examples of Semester Programs
- Arcadia University Center for Education Abroad
- CAPA International Education
- CIS Abroad
- DIS (Danish Institute for Study Abroad)
- IES Abroad (The Institute for the International Education of Students)
- IFSA Butler (Institute for Study Abroad at Butler University)
- SACI-Studio Arts Centers International
- TEAN-The Education Abroad Network

Burglars won't find your home an "easy mark" if they are forced to work in the light, if they have to take a lot of time breaking in, or if they can't break in without making a lot of noise.
Research shows that if it takes more than four or five minutes to break into a home, the burglar will go elsewhere.
Most insurance companies provide 2 percent to 15 percent discounts for devices that make a home safer--dead-bolt locks, window grates, bars and smoke/fire/burglar alarms.
However, when improving the security of your home, don't exchange security for personal safety. Don't make your home such a fortress that you are unable to escape in case of a fire or other emergency.
Are any of your valuables-paintings, a silver collection or a computer-easy to see from outside the house? Rearranging your furnishings might be advisable if it makes your home less inviting to criminals.
Make sure you have strong doors. Outside doors should be metal or solid hardwood, and at least 13/4 inches thick. Frames must be made of equally strong material, and each door must fit its frame securely. Even the most efficient lock, if it is placed in a weak door, will not keep out a determined burglar.
A peephole or a wide-angle viewer in the door is safer for identifying visitors than a door chain.
Sliding glass doors present a special problem because they are easy to open, but you have these doors, you can find special locks for them. A broomstick in the door channel can also help, but cannot be depended on.
Deadbolt locks are best. They usually are locked with a key from the outside and a thumb turn on the inside. The cylinder (where the key is inserted) should be pick-resistant. Ask your hardware dealer for a reputable brand or buy your locks from a locksmith.
Key locks are available for all types of windows. Double-hung windows can be secured simply by "pinning" the upper and lower frames together with a nail, which can be removed from the inside.
For windows at street level or on fire escapes, consider installing metal accordion gates.

This May 27 nursing students, including Elizabeth Ciocco, will be the first nursing students to graduate from the University of St. Thomas in nearly 25 years. Ciocco joins 298 undergraduates and 739 graduates at the University's 64th Commencement Ceremony at Reliant Stadium on May 17. Ciocco enrolled at UST with plans to study biology in the pre-med track to become a doctor. After shadowing doctors and other medical professors, she found herself drawn to the nurse's role. Since then, Ciocco has become certified as a nursing assistant and worked as a nursing home, where she fell in love with the profession. She decided to specialize in pediatric oncology and hasn't looked back since. "I had just joined the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and had just finished my first marathon with them and I met a little girl who had cancer," Ciocco said. "I had met other people with cancer but meeting this little girl was a reality check. From that point on I knew what I was going to do." Ciocco has endured long days and nights to achieve that goal. She has learned to balance schoolwork and clinicals where she and other nursing students gained real-world experience in the field. On top of that, the young mother cares for her son, whom she had right before beginning the program. "Our professors are very holistic in the way the educate us," Ciocco said. "It becomes tough to keep up with clinicals and studies, especially since some of us have families and children at home. A professor once told us 'If you can't take care of yourself then how are you going to take care of other people?'" It wasn't just in her professors that Ciocco found support; the nursing community at large has proven to be very supportive. So supportive in fact that Ciocco was able to utilize numerous nursing scholarships to not only pay for school, but was also able to pay off student loans she had taken out before joining the nursing program, graduating debt-free. With gradation on the horizon, Ciocco feels that her world has opened up to infinite possibility. While she just accepted a position in the pediatric unit at MD Anderson, she knows she would like to continue learning. "Very few people realize how versatile nursing is," Ciocco said. "I could do research, teach, or become a nurse manager. I don't know yet because there is so much. I know I want to go back for my master's and possibly a doctorate in the future." In the mean time, Ciocco looks forward to spending time with her two-year old son and preparing for a marathon or bike ride with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. She also looks forward to watching the young nursing program grow. "I can't wait to see what the program becomes over the years," Ciocco said. "The dean, associate dean, every single faculty and staff member have been amazing. I feel like we have struck gold."

Sid Ryan head of CUPE which is the largest union in Ontario apologized for comparing Israel bombing of academic institutions in Gaza to the actions of Nazism but did not back down from his outrageous demand that any Jewish or Israeli member of an academic institution must publicly condemn actions in Gaza by the Israel Defense Force. "I made some remarks about the actions of the Israeli army and that was a stupid statement for me to make. I unequivocally apologize." However, he would not back down from demanding public apologizes from anyone who is Jewish or Israeli and insisted those who do not should be boycotted.
Over 5,000,000 people have been murdered in the Congo and hundreds of thousands of women raped, but Mr. Ryan sees no need for apologies. Over 200,000 have died in the Sudan, but from Ryan's perspective there is no need for any Sudan academic to apology. Pakistan has witnessed the death of thousands, but no demands from Ryan for apologies. Iran violates human rights every day and debases women, but from the Ryan perspective that does not call for apologies. In Zimbabwe, not 600, but over 1,700 have died from cholera due to the policies of President Mugabe, but no apologies needed.
Why Israel and Jews alone are required to apologize? I assume Mr. Ryan never requested apologies from those of Irish heritage when the IRA killed dozens of innocent people. Mr. Ryan is a bigot, and hypocrite of the first order. In his mind set, if you are a Canadian Jew then somehow you are bound to denounce Israel policy. I thought a Canadian Jew was a Canadian.

lol...Great pics man! It's actually not a bad combination.
Looks pretty cool! lol! Weird question, but where did you get your visor? All I can seem to find is green but yours appears to be grey?
That's totally understandable! I seem to be having a more difficult time finding a nice dark, smoked visor than I thought I would. I even bought a visor that is labelled "grey" but it def has a green tint to it, to my annoyance. I'm pretty sure I'm going with a PP2 and I'm pretty sure the original has a smoked visor, not green.
Anyway, I didn't mean to derail your thread. I was just wondering!
Thanks for the tip! I'm still in the "accumulation" stage, trying to gather up stuff for the helmet, but I can't wait to finally get it done!

Some nights are worse than others, you know, when you toss and turn in anticipation of events to come? That's how my "day" began...
Unfortunately the day was not as anticipated. The snows did not cooperate at all, at one point they did rise in the refuge, but settled right back down and that was the extent of the action other than one small flock that flew into the refuge overhead at 2PM.
So my partner in crime Chickie, who missed a fantastic hunt last weekend due the snowstorm up north which prevented him from traveling, and Paul who was looking to tag his first white devil were not allowed to experience the allure of the snow goose shooting today, but will have to wait for the next time when they drop into my spread.
Hunting...ya gotta love it!

Comments about oreilly SharePoint Office Pocket Guide:
Good and relevant selection of topics, and well-written. I knew when I bought this book that it would not include information about SharePoint 2010, as the e-book was published in 2009. Unfortunately, I didn't see the paperback copy had been published in 2005. All information relates to SharePoint 2003. While some features are still the same, others have changed quite a bit, and are not applicable any more. I'd love to see an updated version of the guide for SharePoint 2010.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I asked the former employee if this was a new cell phone number and he told me yes this was his "Obama phone." I asked him what an "Obama phone" was and he went on to say that welfare recipients are now eligible to receive (1) a FREE new phone and (2) approx 70 minutes of FREE minutes every month.

A Swedish woman was working as a telemarketer and decided to go on sick leave. During her time on sick leave, the woman obtained work on a phone sex chat line. However, the Swedish Social Agency is claiming she filed fraudulent claims because although having the opportunity to work in telemarketing, she claimed it made her sick and therefore, she entered the sex chat line business. Anyone who has worked in telemarketing understands just a few day spouting lies and distortion is enough to make a decent person sick to her stomach. How many times can one interrupt people during their meal time, their serious conversation with a child or that wonderful moment when they are going to complete the sex act without obtaining serious feelings of guilt and remorse?
On the other hand, sex chat line work ensures you are making someone achieve his desires and thus making certain he will spend the day filled with rapture at the thought women find him desirable. Such work does not make people sick. It is clear being involved in telemarketing is akin to working with radiation and anyone who enters such work, should be accorded sick leave. Keep on chatting my Swedish lass and make the men feel good.

Arsène Wenger believes the football authorities should identify a strict punishment and stick to it if they want to eradicate dissent from the game.
The issue has been high on the agenda this week following reports of alleged on-field abuse involving Premier League players followed by FIFA president Sepp Blatter's assertion that racial discrimination can be settled by a handshake.
It was put to Wenger at his pre-match press conference that some taunts are made in the heat of the moment but he thinks that is a dangerous notion.
"Once you go that way you accept everything, or you go to zero tolerance," said Wenger.
"The players will always adapt. They know that when they are punished, when they do it, they will shut up. If you say at the start of the season you cannot talk to the referee but once a player abuses a referee and it is not punished, it is finished.
"If it is punished and he is off the pitch the next one will not do it. So if you go in and say that it is in the heat of the game and you have to forget it, then you don't know where to stop what is acceptable or not acceptable.
"For you something might be acceptable and for me not. So that is why it is better to go into zero tolerance mode.
"The other problem is that it is your word against my word if we have a fight on the pitch. You need a credible witness but usually a partner of the player in the same team can't be a credible witness."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Hello Lucy,
I am rather new to all this and have been asked to come up with a one hour lesson plan based around irregular verbs for a group of adult multi-lingual students studying English at an intermediate level. I also need to include a Pelmanism game, which I suppose could be done near the beginning of the lesson. I feel that I need a few ideas to help me get started.
Thank you in advance for any hints and tips that you can give me. I will also continue to explore the site and other sites for help.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Thanks again for your help, Dan, your a class A guy.
|Whatever you do, don't pick out vinyl to match your fabric in anything but outdoor daylight. You will get a much better match that way. Your last picture would match Spradling's Islander Crimson to a "T" as far as color, but not the grain. I like Islander because it is a marine vinyl. I took this picture outside, but it looks a little darker in person. You can still get GM vinyls in the correct grain patterns and colors. Your car would have used a Madrid grain. http://www.yourautotrim.com/madrid.html
I talked with Doug @SMS last Monday and after a couple of emails back and forth of pictures of the cloth, he came up with a few samples that he is sending out in the mail. Should be here early next week. Looking at using a 82-2413 Corvette wool material based on the pictures Doug sent.
I was going to order 3 yards of the material and pickup the vinyl local. Red is not a popular color as it once was and my thought was to dye a similar weave of the fabric in red, but finding a wool material that will accept and hold a dye again is not to common as it once was.
Once I receive the fabric sample, its the matching up to the existing interior panels to the material that are going to be the pain. Just look at the difference the door panels can be altered using a camera flash and fluorescent overhead lights! Same goes with the seat vinyl.
Doug suggested that the red material for the bench seats might have been a custom cloth, as convertibles were usually always all vinyl. Trim tag says it is a 787 red interior.
Thanks for your assistance.
|Dyeing won't fix 40 year old fabric, only make it a different color. Don't try to replace just the cloth inserts, because the rest of the vinyl is not going to be in that great of shape after 40 years either. Rex Pegg doesn't sell original vintage auto fabric, but SMS does. SMS Auto Fabrics is in Canby, Oregon, and would be the best place for the fabric, but they also make seat covers. Give them a call and tell them what you are looking for. www.smsautofabrics.com I agree with duh57, replace the seat covers.
Dye or not dye
Dont paint or dye the fabric will still rot and split anyways. there are origional fabrics still avialble, just google SMS fabrics , i think their in washington, also Rex Pegg fabrics in Washington probably have an aftremarket look alike. Do it right
70 Chevelle Conv. Dyeing Cloth Interior? Or Replace?
Looking for a little help here. I have been looking at replacement of my bench seat in a 70 Chevelle convertible. It has been a tough grind trying to find red wool material to replace the center panels. Vinyl is no problem. Anyone have a source of fabric?
A thought did occur to re-dye the cloth and vinyl seats as they are in excellent condition for the 10 + years they spent in the Tucson sun except for the sun fading as seen in the picture. I thought of using SEM products to dye the vinyl and the cloth, but will the SEM product stand up to the test of rubbing, sweat, and sliding in and out, over time.
Has anyone used SEM to dye cloth on a seat?
Looking at the pictures, what would you do with these seats in order to keep them the same look?

Hello everyone !
I'm looking to start TEFL certification, but my budget is limited. I found a good deal from teflonline.net for an online certificate course without a tutor. My question is: do you think it is important to have a tutor ? Is the TEFL certificate material hard to learn ? I guess "hard" is a relative term, but let's say for a college graduate who has been out of school for quite some time.
Just one more clarification: How do prospective employers look at a Certificate vs Diploma ?

Mean Streets Tactical Training: The Ten Commandments of Concealed Carry- Massad Ayoob
I love this article and fully agree with the points! Take 5 minutes and read it people!
Thanks for posting that link. There's good information and ideas there that all of us can benefit from reading, and reading again.
Thanks for posting this. It was definitely an informative and necessary read.
Excellent article! Bookmarked it. Thanks skullfr.
Don <><
Excellent article. It should have been part of the CCW class I was recently in. I agree with all of the points made. Thanks for the link.
I now have my permit and I am looking for something to continue what my 8 hour CCW course started. Specifically the responsibility and tactics of conceal carry and home defense. I have found a couple books in the library but aside from one additional course offered for another $150 at the range I took the CCW course, I have'nt found squat. In this age of everything available on the internet from apple pie recipes to Elvis's shoe size, I would think a free course on handgun responsibility and the legal ramifications of self defense via pistol ought to be available somewhere if one knows where to look. Hickock45 is a great show-n-tell resource on handguns but I haven't found any courses per se. The MSTT article by Massad Ayoob is an example of what I am looking for. Maybe I just haven't gone deep enough following that thread. I did find a few non-free CCW classes online, one takes 45 minutes, starting @ $25. I'm sure that one is very thorough.
Can anyone point me in the right direction here? IMHO there is more to carrying a concealed handgun than just the permission of the local Sherriff. I went through more than 8 hours of drivers ed in high school before I got behind the wheel of my dad's 62 Pontiac.

First Thought when Finished: Mercy Blade finalized this for me: I am #TeamJane #TeamBeast ! They are too good for both guys!
Overall Thoughts: Since I am late to the game with this series, this will be more of quick points about what keeps me going and what I am over with this series. I am over both boys! Seriously, Jane/Beast is better than both of them and if she is with them for more than Smexy times then she is settling (I reserve the right to change my mind later but right now anytime it is about the relationship--I kind of tune out). The mystery and the world building were phenomenal in Mercy Blade: once again! I am not sure how Faith dreams out these tricky situations but I am so glad she does. I would totally read a thriller by her because I am sure she would write a wonderful killer. Overall, I am still in love with this series but I do see the love triangle wearing on me!
Audio Thoughts:
Narrated By Khristine Hvam / Length: 14 hrs and 43 mins
I may sound like a broken record but Khristine is rocking my socks off with her narration. In Mercy Blade, I have to say I was super impressed with her male voices. She nailed them!
Final Thoughts: I need to squeeze in book 4 soon :)
Reviewing Romance & Urban Fantasy
"Hvam IS Jane Yellowrock"
The Heroine: At first look Jane is a tough as nails herione. She sees a job that needs to be done and she does it. But on the inside she is like everyone else, looking for a place to belong and someone to love. And she does all of this while figuring out how to balance her needs/wants with her beast's needs/wants. It's not always easy.
The Love Interest(s): I've not been on tean Rick from the begining. Sure he's sexy and tough but I feel like he is the safe guy that Jane decides to spend time with. I don't really feel any real connection between the two. Jane's secret and Rick's job keeps them from reaching the next level.
Now George, aka Brusier is the one that really tempts Jane but his the blood servant of the Master Vamp of New Orleans and Jane feels that she would come last in his life. But in Mercy Blade Jane starts to see that she's not 1st on Rick's list either.
I'm still holding out for Jane and Brusier to get together. I feel like he showed us he can take care of Jane in ways that she needs. But Jane is not one to easy fall into bed with someone. So it may take sometime for her and Brusier to finally seal the deal, if they do. (Fingers crossed)
The Plot: Like the other two books in the series, Mercy Blade is full of action, mystery and a touch of romance. There's humor, horror, blood and tearful moments.
The Series: I'm now 3 books into the Jane Yellowrock series and I'm still in love with the herione and the world. I can see me enjoying this series to it's end, which is not anytime soon. Faith Hunter stated in an interview that she is contracted for at least 3 more books which would bring us to a total of 9 with possibly more. I say bring them on! Fans of UF series with strong heriones that need some love in their life need to check out Faith Hunter's Jane Yellowrock series.
Narration: Khristine Hvam IS JANE YELLOWROCK! She just knocks the narration out of the park from the timing to characters' accents. I won the next two books in paperback but I'm fighting the urge to get them in audio because I love this world on audio. I lost that battle. I now have them on audio.
I really like thrillers. My favorite type of movie or book is one that has a unique perspective instead of a different version of the same story repeated by many different writers throughout the years. Many books are fine for a one-time listen, but to find one that's good enough to listen to again and again is a rare find indeed!!
"Still Good, But Not What I Hoped Would Happen"
The third book in the Jane Yellowrock series continues the saga of Jane in New Orleans, still working for the vamps. This was alluded to at the end of the second book, "Blood Cross." Unlike "Skinwalker" which I believe is necessary to read before "Blood Cross," you don't have to have read the first two books in order to read "Mercy Blade." I think it would helpful in order to understand the main characters and what has occurred in their lives, but it's not necessary.
In this book we are introduced to new characters. Jane's closest friend, Molly, and the only other person who knows she's a skinwalker, comes to stay with her and brings her two children with her. Molly is a practicing witch, which was mentioned in the first two books, but now we get to see a more detailed view of what that means. We are also introduced to new "super nats," supernatural beings.
Whereas I liked Faith Hunter's imaginative tale of the Mercy Blade, I wasn't so impressed by the introduction of werewolves. I most certainly did not like the turn of events in the life of a person very important to Jane. I did not like how Molly's husband treated Jane whenever things went awry. I most certainly did not like how it ended.
Yet because of the way it ended, how it left me hanging, I immediately began listening to the fourth book. Call me a sucker if you want, but I absolutely had to find out what happened -- or didn't happen -- to this person who's very important to Jane and for whom I have been rooting the entire time. I'd love to write more about this, but I refuse to give anything away about the storyline.
If you liked Faith Hunter's first two Jane Yellowrock books, I'm sure you'll like this one as well. It's still a very interesting and entertaining book, but it's not exactly what I'd hoped it would be -- especially the ending.
I'm a grad student with very little time to edit reviews because I'm editing research papers. Forgive the typos. They're made with love.
Okay so for the last review I used this image of sitting on a porch and watching Jane ride one way, then back, then past again, then back... back and forth gathering clues and data. I'm using it again. Same search for clues, no one really telling her everything so she can solve a case, it would have been over quicker but... oh and lets make her fight a pack of werewolves whiles she's at it.
Sorry no. As much as I love a strong heroine, this is clearly the case of someone saying cat shifters are more awesome than wolf shifters. if we were being honest, Jane vs one werewolf, maybe even two, but a whole pack and she wins? No. I know this is fantasy but I need a little reality in this world that's been created.
Also, in the spirit of the love triangle, I believe we can safely say it's not a triangle if one of the guys goes off and cheats. Done. Hence the angst.
Still going on to the next book but I'm sensing a trend.
Hot romance/Sci Fi we're so lucky to have Audible to feed our book addictions. I love walking my precious dog Sydney & listening to my books
"Love it love it love it !!"
I have listened to the entire series so far and have enjoyed it very much. I hope there will be many more books to this great series. I will be purchasing them as soon as they come out. :)
Many say I am easily entertained because I have given many 5star ratings, but I KNOW what I like, have my favorites, and choose accordingly.
Couldn't stop listening!
Angie Baby because of her innocence. And yet.....she thinks like an adult when things get bad and she doesn't panic.
YOU BET I HAVE!! Khristine Hvam is one of my very favorite narrators. I have several series she has done, and I will pick a new author just because she narrates. People have said that she sounds the same with all her voices. I disagree. Having listened to this series several times, I do hear the difference. The Cajun does need some help, buy otherwise, she is wonderful!!
OH!! I cried and laughed.
I have read all of the reviews for Faith's books and I don't understand how anyone can bash her like a couple have. I know it is their opinion and they have a right to it. HOWEVER...don't be a hateful, especially if you don't have all the facts straight. Faith had over 15 books written before the Skinwalker series was started (she also writes suspense under the name Gwen Hunter). I'm just sayin'.
"Good read in an interesting series"
The third book in the Jane Yellowrock series does not disappoint in terms of story, suspense and plot. Faith Hunter is one of those writers who can pull off giving you the "who dunnit" early in the story and keep you reading to find out how they are caught and brought to account for their misdeeds. The only reason this book got four stars rather than five is that I find there is occasionally too much focus on background description and not a tight enough hold to the main action line, which I find a bit frustrating. If you can hang in there through the background commentary while the heroine is hanging by her nails, well, you're in for a great listen! I recommend the entire series of books, including this installation which leaves you with yet another mystery to contemplate until book four is released. Happy reading!
This wasn't my fave book. Rick remains a man whore n Jane takes it. I know she has issues but dam.
I love Jane n beast. I was hooked after the first book. I was just disappointed.
Always! The author is amazing n talented.
The narration is always good.
I'd like to set Rickybo on fire n put him out with a fork.
"Third YellowRock Novel"
Love, love, love this character, and the rest of the ensemble cast (vampires, weres, blood servants and assorted other really bad scary people... in this series, the witches are mostly good, but when they are bad, they are very very bad... Nicely read as well.
The author continues to write an engaging story line that skims more layers off the surface of the main character. In addition the new supernatural characters, which I had never heard of before has added to the entertainment of these books!
"Poor Ricky-bow."
Jane needs all her " smarts " when Ricky goes missing and things in the supernatural world get turned upside down. Narration as always is very good the book on the whole was good but it had several slow moments, which the previous books did not have. Having said that it is still a good book and well worth reading.
"Amazing series"
I wouldd definetly listen to this book and the whole series again. It's incredible how much you cna be imersed into the story!
I absolutely love the authors ideas for this book - the combination of mythology, history and old fairy tales is fantastic! Enjoyed every second of it!
The way this book is told fits just right with the character of the main person in the story! It feels like she is speaking from the story instead of someone just reading a story out loud.
There are SO many times i laughed on the street or grinned to a joke or a situation in the book (gave me a few weird glances on the street xD) It's great!!!
Definetly would advise to buy these series but start listening from the first book!!!!
"Jane fights for her lover."
In this book Rick Jane's lover goes undercover and then goes missing. Jane who is arranging a meeting between an African were cat and the Vampires now she has to put finding Rick on her list, busy girl our Jane.

The magazine latch is normaly disabled by the top round remaining in the magazine. When you run out of cartridges the latch activates holding the slide open.
Inserting a replacement slowly into position will generaly not cause the latch to release. If however you insert the magazine rapidly, inertia comes in to play and the top cartridge applies more force on the latch than when gently inserted. There will be intermediate conditions where variations in spring force or insertion speed will result in more or less force being applied generating release variations.
I have seen some people rely on a slam home of the magazine releasing the slide. I don't rely on it but don't object when it happens while inserting a replacement with force.

Seattle • An attorney for the parents of missing woman Susan Powell said Tuesday there is an ongoing federal investigation in Utah into the case which involves what Powell's father-in-law, Steven Powell, may know about her disappearance.
The announcement came a day after West Valley City police declared their case was closed, followed by the release of thousands of documents pertaining to the 28-year-old West Valley City woman's disappearance in 2009.
"It is an ongoing federal investigation, so it's not over, as was said yesterday," said attorney Anne Bremner at a press conference.
Added Susan Powell's father, Chuck Cox: "[Steve Powell] knows a lot more than he's telling."
Bremner declined to say which agency was investigating.
The FBI in Salt Lake City declined to comment. The U.S. Attorney's Office for Utah said in a statement they "do not have plans to conduct any further investigation."
Susan Powell's husband, Josh Powell, 36, was the only named person of interest in the case until he killed himself and the couple's two sons in an explosion at his Washington state home on Feb. 5, 2012.
But Josh Powell's father, 63-year-old Steve Powell who is serving prison time in Washington state for voyeurism convictions was investigated by West Valley City police, who said Monday that he "most likely" had no involvement in the disappearance of his daughter-in-law.
Cox and Bremner expressed surprise that the released documents revealed that Josh Powell's brother, Michael Powell, also was a subject of the police investigation until his suicide in February in Minneapolis.
Cox noted that his daughter had felt Michael Powell "was one of the most normal people" in Steve Powell's family.
Cox now believes that Michael Powell was "deeply involved in this." Referring to his suicide, he conjectured that he may have killed himself out of "guilt, remorse or felt that police were closing in."
Cox said he also was surprised to learn from the released documents that Josh Powell apparently had an affair with a woman just two months prior to Susan Powell's disappearance.
According to a report dated Aug. 10, 2010, a woman named Kourtney told police she met Josh Powell through an online dating service, and claimed they had sex five to six times in various areas of the Salt Lake Valley. She said Josh Powell had paid her about $800 during this time frame.
"Kourtney mentioned that Josh would go by the name of John Staley," according to the report, and that he told her he had family, but they lived out of state.
Bremner said it was unclear if Kourtney was a prostitute, but that the liaison could have provided a motive for Josh Powell to kill his wife. Bremner noted there was also millions in insurance money at stake.
Susan Powell was last seen on Dec. 6, 2009, at her West Valley City home, which she shared with her husband, the only person of interest ever named in the case.
Josh Powell claimed he left his wife at home as he took his sons, Charlie and Braden, then ages 4 and 2, respectively, on a late-night winter camping trip in the West Desert of Utah.
He denied having anything to do with his wife's disappearance.
Josh Powell came under scrutiny early because he was the last one to see his wife alive and because he did not seem concerned about her disappearance. But police on Monday stopped short of saying Josh Powell killed his spouse.
"What we are saying at this point was Josh Powell was involved in the disappearance of his wife," said West Valley assistant Police Chief Mike Powell, who is no relation to the Powells in question.
Asked his reaction to West Valley City police closing the case, Cox said Tuesday he understood their reasoning, which included the lack of a body or crime scene, and no direct evidence pointing to Josh Powell or anyone else.
" .... but I personally think they came to the wrong conclusion," Cox said. "As far as the circumstantial evidence, they had plenty."
Bremner noted that in court, circumstantial evidence is every bit as valid as direct evidence. She added that if Josh Powell had been charged and arrested, his sons would likely be alive.
Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill said Monday that West Valley City police and prosecutors had been working toward formally screening the case to determine what, if any, charges are appropriate when Josh Powell killed himself and his two sons last year.
But Gill noted that, along with other "deficits in putting these cases together," there was no indication of Josh Powell's mental state when Susan Powell vanished. "Even if we charge him, what do we charge him with?" Gill said.
Bremner said private investigators are now scouring the documents released by police to identify new areas to search for Susan Powell's body, searches that will likely entail the help of volunteers.
Cox said they would search "whereever West Valley City didn't search."
He said last week's search in Oregon originated with a phone call from someone in January. Cox said the call began the same way many others have, with the person saying they had contacted West Valley City, but police never got back to them. Cox said he persuaded police to mount the search by sending them an email.

|Capt Len. We have had a great season in the PNW. I live in Denver and manage to get to the boat once a month. Spent most of the time exploring the San Juan islands and have been to Victoria a couple of times. What a beautiful place the PNW is. We have been very lucky with the weather. Every single day were were there it was sunny! We are booked to come back for Christmas and sail to Victoria where we will spend Christmas day so I will keep my eye out for you if you are about. We have booked a slip infront of the Empress hotel. I will watch out for the canon. Next year we plan to explore a little more north. so many choices. (SV Sarita).
|Capt Len
|Isn't the coast just the greatest sailing area? Last time I came up from San Diego (60 ft steel cutter, 2 crew) we motored the entire way to Victoria.NOT a breath of wind. You just never know.Hope you enjoy further cruising in our local waters.I'm the tanbark gaff ketch working out of Victoria Touristy stuff.Drop over for a gam but watch out for the cannon.
|I purchased a Hallberg Rassy 46 in Feb 2011 and sailed up to the Pacific North West from San Diego. The advice was to either truck the boat up or sail to Hawaii and then across to Vancouver island. Given the prevailing winds are NNW and a 1knot plus current we knew it was not going to be the most pleasant of trips. We chose to do the trip in two legs, first leg to San Fran then after 3 days sail to Victoria on Vancouver island. We decided to sail offshore, as close to the wind as possible and do large tacks up the coast. The first day out of San Diego was calm and not enough wind to sail. The following two days we had winds 30-40 knots and heading into 8 ft seas. It took a day to get used to the movement but with 6 crew on board we had plenty of time for rest and the boat performed well. We left at the beginning of May hoping to catch a southerly change. As luck had it we caught one and sailed into San Fran doing 10knts with the wind behind. Marvelous. We had a few minor repairs to do: the nav lights on the pulpit were torn off going through the waves and the dorade in the v berth would not close and therefore leaked. Other than that we had no repairs. The leg from San Fran to Victoria was almost identical to the first leg. Calm for the first day then 30-40 knots from the north until we turned into the straight of San Juan de Fuca. Although the trip was rough we had great fun. I really got to know the boat, warts and all, and although the winds were strong the sun shone and we all laughed most of the way (except one crew member who broke two ribs have being thrown out of the head as we lurched over the top of one wave). We could have trucked it but would not have had the experience and the repairs only mounted to a few hundred dollars. The crew was made up of half experienced sailors and half with little but some experience. We always had one experienced sailor on watch. The whole trip took 12 days excluding the stopover in San Fran.

This has been a very good read..
|Depends on your sense of adventure - a solo sailor just went through on a Vega 27/
|Capt Len
|All depends on the wind It moves the ice about and either clears or jams the only narrow channel for small vessels.Look at the charts. You make it through or go back to Tuk and try again next year.Getting better every year but still no guarantee .From Greenland same story. One year nobody made it , next year a Hobi cat from Denmark made it. Steel hull is best but several glass have done the passage. I had a 42 ft wooden and never considered it as a contender. Besides I was doing commercial (science) charters. Really challenging cruising area but getting there is fun. North Pacific.Bering St ,Prudeau Bay, Beaufort Sea. and you're only to Tuktoyyaktuk Then the passage. Lots has written about it both historic and contemporary. It will be a while before it's more than big commerce and military but the B.C. coast still has my vote.
I hear that the northern passage is now open for some shipping ...
Seriously what of a boat would you need to do that? Do they still need ice breakers and/or has it melted on its own by the end of the summer?
|Capt Len
|I heard that some 2500 lemmings a season do that southern crossing now Sounds like there's lots of support and hand holding for you . Ann Davidson drifted across alone in 90 days. I sailed? a Colin Archer fishboat to Tobago in 34 days . With all the company and electronics to boot one should be able to experience a great and memorable voyage without a whiff of adventure or romance. Wish you well! A tall ship and a star to steer her by.
|Sorry, you are correct "ARC." But, actually there is a return leg (ARC Europe) from the Caribbean to Azores in May.
I think you mean the ARC - Atlantic Rally for Cruisers. The only problem is that it goes from Las Palmas in the Canaries to St Lucia in the Caribbean.

In the middle of all of the conference angst, there still is a football game to be played Friday.
While going through some facts and figures for a radio interview, one of the best ones I saw came from The Weather Channel app I have on my IPad. I was worried about warmer-than-average temperatures Friday, since Thanksgiving Day features a high of 65.
However, a tad of our northern weather returns just in time for Friday night and South Florida. Friday's high is set for 47. so it goes to reason that by kickoff that figure will drop into the low 40s and possibly upper 30s.
Advantage UC. Big time.
Having witnessed nearly all of the UC/USF games in person, I have seen games played here as early as late October where the Bulls would be bundled up in tights, gloves and attire normally meant for Lambeau Field conditions. As simple as it is, the Bulls from Tampa don't care for the cold.
For that matter, neither does anyone who lives in Florida on a regular basis. Thankfully, UC's abundant Florida recruits have been acclimated to the ever-changing climate around here.
Now, for those of you that recall BJ Daniels and company beating the Bearcats 38-30 in October of 2010, let me remind you that the temperatures had not yet dropped and it was 56 degrees.
On the other hand, in 2008, it was a pre-Halloween night game that featured a Bearcat-friendly 42 degrees. UC won 24-10. Likewise on Oct. 22, 2006 at 45 degrees, it was a 23-6 Bearcat victory.
In 2004, it was Nov. 20 and no temperature was reported. UC won 45-23 with Gino Guidugli having a pretty good day as I recall. Though I remember the sun being out, I still have to think there was a nip at The Nipp that those from the Sunshine State might not have appreciated.
The obvious point is it's easier for UC to go to Tampa and play in warmth than it is for South Florida to come north and succeed in temperatures they associate with winter. Historically, the NFL Buccaneers have encountered the same problems.
As I've disclosed before, I also have a degree from USF in addition to my UC degree. I spent five years in Tampa and am very familiar with the football talent there and throughout the state. Every DI school of note mines the interstates and orange groves of Florida.
The weather is great, but their idea of winter and ours are worlds apart. I remember the weather dropping to the 50s and seeing folks in winter coats. The lowest I ever came across was 28 one December night and the power companies had rolling blackouts.
When the department stores would roll out winter sweaters, I still had my shorts on.
In addition to seeing USF players dressed for "The Ice Bowl", I've witnessed Floridian Deion Sanders glued to a heated bench at Riverfront Stadium for a late December game between the Bengals and Falcons. I also watched then-freshman Florida quarterback Chad Plummer hovering on the bench in the last game UC played at Kentucky in 1995. With wind chills dipping into the teens and snow, that was by far the coldest game I ever did.
So, for those that might be shivering and cursing the cold Friday night, suck it up and realize the Bulls across the way are freezing and are likely as bundled up as Ralphie's brother in "A Christmas Story".

Dalton drama: An apology is in order
Part-time Dalton Police Chief Mario Audit said he was reviewing security video when he saw what he claimed was York pocketing town money. He showed the video to Selectmen Chairman Victor St. Cyr, who showed it to the other selectmen. Apparently no one thought to ask York or her coworkers about it, or to see whether any cash was actually missing. Audit had York arrested and banned from town hall based solely on what he saw on the video.
At trial, Jessie Wentworth, the tax collector and deputy clerk, testified that the town always needs to break large bills and that for 14 years York has routinely taken large bills to the bank to get change, which is what York's attorney said she did that day. No money was found missing the next day or any other day. Audit acknowledged that he did not interview York or check the books for missing money before having her arrested and charged with a crime.
Because of such shoddy police work, a longtime town employee's reputation was tarnished. Though she was found not guilty on Monday, she had to endure months of public speculation about her honesty and personal integrity.
Audit owes York a public apology. He should consider apologizing to the town, too, for failing to do his job with the care expected of the chief of police.

OK the quad rail arrived today --
out of the box it looks pretty good.
it does have an aluminum barrel nut.
the attaching pins for the rails look like their made of hardened brass?--LOL!!
i guess that don't matter much cause their threaded into the aluminum!
the rails themselves look strong enough and well made , they weigh in at around 15oz i would guess. the rails look to be reasonably well finished. just like the middie FF rails i put on the 16" 9mm carbine i built last year.
the rails are however "seconds" or 'blems" as the T-marks are not straight on the top and bottom rails--however the covered rails are arrow straight-?- typical!-LOL!
not a deal killer but they should have said "seconds" --but for the price i'll not complain. one trip into the bush and the off numbers will be covered in dust, oil, mud, residue and so on anyway. as there going on my scout rifle concept 16" 1-7" build. which is a brush gun of sorts.
sort of cheap looking plastic covers --but hey? who really expects covers at all at $50 for a rifle length free float quad rail.
had SMG just listed them as cosmetic blemished i wouldn't have anything to gripe about--
