Congrats to Green America's Climate Riders
Thanks to all Green Americans who rode in this fall's California Climate Ride, October 2 – 6, from Eureka to San Francisco. Climate Riders raised money for climate-focused organizations; raised awareness of climate issues as they pedaled through communities, and rallied at the ride's conclusion; and reminded onlookers along the route that we can burn calories and not carbon by choosing to ride a bike.
Green American Scott Warner sends us his first-person account of the ride, as published by Novato Patch Media. It's a great read. Check out what Scott has to say:
Although we knew there was a chance of rain on this ride, not one of us really believed that our typical beautiful and warm California early fall weather wouldn't prevail. On that, we miscalculated.
The misfortune of the weather, however, brought out a different feeling from what would have normally been a beautiful, though still difficult and hilly, cycling trip through the Humboldt Redwoods, along the Mendocino coast, up the Russian River and through part of the Sonoma Wine Country, and the along the dramatic Marin cliff-side vistas eventually crossing the Golden Gate Bridge into San Francisco.
The misfortune brought out the tenacity, collegiality and toughness of a group of cyclists from all around the country who each came with their own level of cycling abilities. Some had just started riding two months ago, and others had been riding for more than 40 years. We were all there because we believed in the cause to better our world by advocating for more progress in clean alternative transportation, for clean alternative energy, for sustainable living and agricultural practices. We were not about to let the climate, of all things, put a damper on our spirit and cause us to give in. Instead, I believe we were motivated even more to continue our mission.

|I got one of the HF outfits too and it works good, really good! I got mine on sale and with a one item discount coupon I had I got mine for about $28.
|My father just bought one from Harbor Freight that mounts to the bench and looks like a mini cut-off saw. He paid 39.99 for it, and I have to admit does a darn good job! Chain locks in and it cuts at the correct angle.
|4 Jaw Chuck
I "field" sharpen my chain saw with a air powered die grinder with a proper size stone and then dress the depth tooth with an angle grinder equipped with a 320 sanding disc and firm rubber backer.
Don't laugh! I find I do as good a job or better than a professional jig job, it takes 10 minutes to do and once you get good at it you won't go without a sharp blade ever again.
I once did one for a friend of mine and he just about freaked when he saw how I was going to do the job when I pulled out the tools, this was his brand new Husqavarna and he had an unusual attachment to his long worn out original blade.
It took longer to get him to let me sharpen the blade than the actual sharpening but in the end even he admitted it looked and performed as good as new.
I think most people don't trust how accurately your Mark I eyeball can get an angle if all you do is move the blade to the next tooth and hand grind each gullet without moving your hand, the fact that you only spend a few seconds doing each tooth adds to the accuracy and leads to less metal removed from each individual tooth.
Once you can completely sharpen a blade in less than 10 minutes by hand you will never let a blade get dull as a touch up takes even less time. The blade lasts longer too and it won't cost anymore than a handfull of stones.
Some pointers for success;
1) Buy the white stones as they are pure alumina oxide and cut "softer" with less heat, they wear faster but also cut faster too...buy them by the bag.
2) Use a vise to hold your saw at table height, its easier to see what your doing and the rigidity of the vise makes the job easier.
3) If one tooth is badly chewed up touch it up like the last one, don't spend a bunch of time trying to fix it up and make it perfect. It will eventually get worn down like the others after a number of sharpenings.
4) Dress the top of each tooth with a fine hone to get rid of the burr, this stops "digging in" on the first cut and prevents the burr getting torn off during the first cut which will "rag" the tip causing excessive wear that you will have to grind back to during the next sharpen.
5) Keep a sponge handy to wet and cool each tooth before and after the grind, you should never grind so long that it turns blue from the heat.
6) Don't tell your friends how fast you can do it, cause it worth at least 10 bucks for 10 minutes work!
P.S. Throw away the file, they do a crappy job of sharpening a saw blade and are even harder to keep a good angle, the idea with a die grinder is light pressure which aids in the accuracy.
|wretched ratchet
Chain saw sharpening machines
I have tried a couple of the dremel type chain saw sharpening devices but have found them to be less than ideal. Does anyone have a good little machine to recommend for sharpening? (Not looking for "field sharpening" with a file...but rather something that will bring the teeth back to their correct angle etc. after a number of field sharpenings.)

If your going to take a corse and you want a good handling pistol that fits most hands get a G-19. You'll be glad you did. Good luck.
hi guys. I recently bought a smith wesson m&P compact .40. Its a carry pistol, and it's been having some feeding problems with the magazine. I am going to send it in for repair, buy frankly i'm a little concerned and thinking about jumping ship allready on it. So I am considering a glock 27 or glock 33
however, like alot of people I had some issues with the grips. they feel too "hard" i suppose. I know some of the gunsmiths can do the stippling and "melting" (still not sure exactly what that is) so can the grip be made to fit a hand better ? the m&p doesn't have individual finger grooves, my ideal weapon would have hogue grips, i love those. But I really don't see them in a pistol, unless it was a compact 1911. which is also something i'm considering.
is a compact 1911 a poor choice for a first pistol ? I am going ot be taking a fundamental shooting class at the local range when i finally make a decision
If your going to take a corse and you want a good handling pistol that fits most hands get a G-19. You'll be glad you did. Good luck.
9mm right ? I should have gotten a 9mm before I purchased this .40 cal M&P
Love 'em or hate 'em------everyone has or has had a Glock. It's only natural.
ive been told there are alot of aftermarket parts and glocksmiths out there, what are some of the better ones ? I think i would want the grip stippling done by someone.
Glock............... G-19 a great beginning.
Glock 19 is a great weapon. If you want to stay with a 40 cal then go with the 23. I have owned both, they are great weapons.
Great job in taking a course. Training separates you from the newbies.
Any Glock model is great. I started out with the G35 and also have a G23. The .40S&W caliber is great. As for the grip...if a monkey can grip a Glock, so can humans.
It does take some time, but when you've trained with it...it'll be a part of you. I've held Glocks that their grips have been customized, and they feel GREAT!!!
Go shoot as many as you like in different calibers and find the best fit.
Good luck and let us know which Glock you get.
Here's a teaser: My Glocks, OD Green models.

Slopeside with Kathleen Baglio Humphreys -- Airing it out: Terrain parks take off
KATHLEEN BAGLIO HUMPHREYS | February 06. 2014 11:59PM
It also takes a lot of snow and a lot of manpower to build a park. First the park is designed on paper, then the snowguns go to work — for three days in the expert park — and finally the grooming staff pushes the snow around to make ramps and jumps before adding the elements.
Segal is one of many racers who go to ski team practice and learn the advanced skills they can bring to the park. Off-mountain, Segal practices his jumps on his trampoline and at the N.H. Academy of Gymnastics, which has a trampoline and foam pit.
"Inverted aerials were not allowed," says Attitash's Desgroseilliers. "But with the progression and training facilities such as foam pits, water ramps and our infamous air bag that will be here in a couple of weeks, it allows people to train better and ... do more of the technically difficult tricks.

I hope someone hasn't covered this already - did a search...
Anyway, I got my Ruff gauntlets (beauties by the way), & was considering finding an aluminum missile but can't really afford 1. So I thought I'd try the new chrome-appearing sprays & figure I tone it down a bit w/ an overspray of aluminum. Got the spray from a local hardware store - I think it may be Krylon.
Anyway, stuff works well, I noticed the Jango guys prefer Rub 'n Buff etc, but I thought the following may interest people - I sprayed the missile after masking the brass / gold tip, let it sit an hour & noticed it was just too darn shiny.
Here's the neat part - I took a paper towel & by holding the masked tip spun the missile in the towel. The paint was still drying (if held w/ pressure I could have easily left prints) & it not only toned down the shine but left what looks like spin marks from machining. Cool. Way cool.
All said & done it looks like a machined piece - closer to steel in color, but between a good fill & prep job & the texture it sure looks darn impressive. I don't think I'll try to add white/silver to recreate alum. Sorry for no pics guys... EDIT: Pics added - yay!

IF at the same time the 1%ers do more for their/our country.
I also believe it is uncontrolled greed that is bringing down America
how about some examples of this uncontrolled greed taking down the country?
1.) Financial Crisis of 2008. 2.) Massive loss of manufacturing in the USA.3.) Oil speculators gone wild on Wall Street driving up prices and killing GDP.4.) Billionairs trying to avoid paying taxes on the money they made HERE.5.) Kwame Kilpatrick serving himself on the publics dollar.Bonus Greed: Did you happen to notice how JP Morgan had a 2 billion dollar gambling loss the other day? What do you call that?

QuoteHowever I think many of our econonic problems are due to removal of rules, regulations, and taxes on the 1%. That is now threatening to take us all down.but you see, this is where you are wrong. and not because i say so. history tells us you are wrong. regulations and government interference suppress the private sector. government interference is what started the whole banking and housing mess. higher taxes suppress production and producers. "Our tax system still siphons out of the private economy too large a share of personal and business purchasing power and reduces the incentive for risk, investment and effort – thereby aborting our recoveries and stifling our national growth rate."– John F. Kennedy, Jan. 24, 1963, message to Congress on tax reduction and reform, House Doc. 43, 88th Congress, 1st Session.and he was right. what is the incentive to produce when the government is going to take what you produce and give it away.
However I think many of our econonic problems are due to removal of rules, regulations, and taxes on the 1%. That is now threatening to take us all down.
I know a couple entrepreneurs that shy away from quite a few investments purely because of the tax ramifications. And guess what, when they choose not to follow those paths,jobs are not created.Or taxable revenue for that matter.
Republicans present that fiction repeatedly, but it's simply used to falsely instigate fear, which is the entirety of the platform on The Right these days.
For true comparisons, you should look at countries like Finland, Norway, Sweden . . . which consistently rate among the best places to live in the world. High life expectancy, high happiness rating on most scales used, low infant mortality (which the US should be ashamed of), standardized test scores that blow the US away, . . . . etc. To use China as a "socialist" example is incorrect.Thoughts?
. . . . Socialism works great if everybody is the same. . . . .
.... Greece...but what about Serbia? Croatia? ....
but the market is up what, oh, 150% since Obama took office
Yes, jobs are slow coming back, but anybody with any real understanding of the downturn knows that this was a debt-based recession and they ALWAYS take much longer to turn around, and jobs are the very last thing to come back in those situations.
No, The Right are the party of the old and fearful. The Republicans have been lying in wait for the Boomers for decades. The knew they had a generation (or more) of aging population headed their way, and that the elderly are VERY easily ( and understandably) manipulated by fear. Look at everything the Repubs. say and do, it's always based in the rhetoric of "these people" are trying to take things away from you". It's everywhere on the conservative radio and TV. Just look at the ads: for Carbonite computer security, and emergency food and water, identity theft, gold brokers (because the markets are bad and your savings is in danger).


text: Posted May 4, 2008 Click for larger images... As many of you know the iMac line was refreshed on Monday, April 28. For about 6 months I had been wanting to purchase a new computer, but I kept holding off for some reason. When I heard the rumors about the iMac update, I made up my mind that I would finally purchase one. By the way, this is not my first Apple computer. I have had a 14? (1.33ghz) iBook for years now. I knew what to expect in terms of the initial setup of the iMac based off of my previous experience with Apple products. And I also knew my way around OSX pretty well. I ordered the iMac the day it was updated. I don't game on my computer anymore (I have a 360, Wii, and PS3) so I figured I would go with the lower end of the 24? models. I selected the free shipping so I wasn't expecting to receive the iMac for about a week, but to my surprise it was delivered to my house on Wednesday, April 30...not even 2 full days after I placed my order. I was pretty happy with that to say the least. My initial thought when I saw the box was, wow that's going to be huge. And believe me, I was right with my initial assessment. I figured a 24? monitor wouldn't seem much different from the 20? monitor I was used to using with my Dell computer. I was completely wrong. The screen on the 24? iMac is totally amazing. I have never seen a display with a brighter screen. Even my 32? Samsung LCD television looks pale in comparison to the screen of this iMac. The glossy screen has a lot to do with that though. But anyways, the hardest thing to get used to, for me at least, is the resolution of the screen. 1920x1200 is amazing to work with. So much can be done on the screen at once. It is a great upgrade over the 1680x1050 resolution I am used to working with. As for the computer itself, it came with a 2.8ghz Core 2 Duo and 2gb of 800mhz ram which I upgraded to 4gb (more on that later). This was a nice upgrade for me considering the pc I use at home is a 3.6ghz P4. My computer at work is a 1.83ghz Core 2 Duo though, so when I talk about responsiveness I will be comparing the iMac to that. For me, this computer is extremely quick. I almost forgot how much quicker OSX in general is at launching applications. In terms of overall responsiveness there is no comparison between the iMac and my computer at work. Safari opens instantly...iTunes, even with a 10,000 song library opens in a fraction of the time that it does on my other computers. It takes a little under 2 seconds to be exact. Photoshop launches quicker than I have ever seen. I could go on and on, but I'm sure you get the general idea. As for the ram upgrade, it really couldn't be any easier. It took maybe 2 minutes total to replace the ram with 2 new sticks. As far as I can tell, it is definitely best to max out the ram if you have the money to do so. At one point yesterday I saw I had a little over 800mb of ram free. I would have definitely noticed a performance hit if I had only been using 2gb. This is my first time using Leopard for an extended period of time. A couple of my friends have iMacs (I talked them into buying them) so I have used it before, but not to the same extent as I have the past few days. I like the changes they have made for the most part. But just like anything else, there are a few default settings here and there that don't make much sense to me. For example the Mighty Mouse doesn't have right clicking enabled by default. Photo booth doesn't have the auto flip image setting enabled. Simple things like that can be slightly annoying to have to change, but like I said, it's impossible to please everyone completely. And the things I mentioned are very minor. I ran xbench to include some figures in the review. Please note though that I did not run the program right after a reboot, only because I haven't restarted the computer since I initially set it up and downloaded all the updates. So here are the scores... All tests enabled: 176.11 HDD test disabled: 228.84 Overall, I am very happy with my purchase. I hope this iMac lasts me a long time. The only thing I dislike about the whole package is the Mighty Mouse. I just don't like it at all. So here are some overall ratings. iMac screen: 9.5/10 iMac performance: 9/10 (there is always something faster) Overall look: 9/10 (people are amazed at this thing sitting on my desk) Initial Leopard Impression: 9/10 Mighty Mouse: 6/10 Apple Keyboard: 8/10 (it takes some time to get used to) Please ask any/all questions you may have about it and I will go into more detail.

President Obama and his administration now find themselves in the middle of not one but two tough situations: the tragic killing of four Americans at a U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, and the Internal Revenue Service's scrutiny of tea-party and other conservative groups. At best, they are cases of bad mishandling and embarrassment; at worst, they rise to the level of legitimate and consequential scandals. At this point, the significance of each is more in the eye of the beholder. Liberals and Democrats tend to de-emphasize both affairs, while many conservatives and Republicans think that each rises to the level of impeachment. It will take time to know which end of this ridiculously broad spectrum of assessments proves to be more accurate.
Whether the White House is in Democratic or Republican hands, we have to put up with a degree of selective outrage from one side and the turning of a blind eye from the other. Democrats who were quick to pounce on any possible transgression during George W. Bush's presidency are noticeably quiet these days. At the same time, one wonders whether the same Republicans who are frothing over Benghazi would have been quite as vigilant had they been in Congress after the bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut in October 1983, which killed 220 U.S. Marines, 18 sailors, and three Army soldiers in the largest single-day loss of American military since Vietnam and the largest number of Marine Corps fatalities since the Battle of Iwo Jima. By the end of December 1983, hearings and investigations were complete, reports had been issued, and the tragic episode soon became history (other than to the families and friends of those lost). In today's political culture, such sad events have considerably longer shelf lives.
Those with a more historical bent immediately understand that presidential second terms amount to a political Bermuda Triangle. Scandals, wars, and recessions have been the scourge of post-World War II presidents from Dwight Eisenhower through George W. Bush, and if it wasn't one of those three problems, it was two. If Yogi Berra were a political commentator, he might say that "it's like déjá vu, all over again," but it seems a little early to pronounce that just yet.
Perhaps the best way to determine whether either (or both) of these stories is starting to resonate with the American people is to simply watch Obama's daily and weekly Gallup job-approval ratings. After all, this is the first presidency that will be covered from start to finish with daily public-opinion samplings. Since the beginning of March, the president's approval ratings each week have been between 47 and 51 percent, and between 48 and 50 percent for all but two weeks. For the week of May 6-12, with the last interviewing being conducted Sunday night, Obama's approval rating was at 49 percent, down a point from the previous week, and his disapproval was at 44 percent, the same as the week before.
According to the Gallup Organization, the average job-approval rating for presidents in their 18th quarter in office, covering the post-World War II period, was 51.3 percent. That's a little over a point higher than where Obama is right now. Bill Clinton had the highest job-approval rating at this point in his presidency over the past 50 years, with 57 percent. Ronald Reagan was at 55 percent, George W. Bush at 46 percent, and Richard Nixon at 45 percent. Nixon had been above 50 percent until early April, and then he began his gradual decline, never to recover.
If Obama were a stock, you could say he has a very narrow trading range; indeed, one can argue that he has had a higher floor and lower ceiling in terms of job approval than any other modern president. His bedrock support—particularly among minorities, youth, and liberals—keeps him from dropping below a certain level in all but the worst weeks. But the equally vehement opposition among conservatives and older white men puts a ceiling on how high Obama can go in even a great week.
The most objective way to ascertain whether either or both of these stories have "legs" and are beginning to get traction with the public is to watch every Monday afternoon for the release of the Gallup approval rating for the previous week, ending the night before. Although you can look at the Gallup three-day moving average, those have a smaller sample size than the full week of interviewing and tend to be somewhat volatile. As long as Obama's job approval remains in that 47-to-51-percent range, particularly between 48 and 50 percent, it's safe to say that neither story is hurting him significantly, at least with the public. If you are going to look at other polls, take a gander at that poll's "trading range" for Obama over March and April, and see whether it drops below that range. Each pollster's methodology is a bit different, and each has its own idiosyncrasies, making comparisons between polls a little more iffy. It's always better to compare each poll with previous numbers from that specific pollster.
Other than the cost in terms of job-approval ratings, the other price paid by such stories is that it consumes the time and attention of key administration members, distracting them from their other objectives. This is a subtle but important factor, as second-term presidencies have a general tendency to run out of gas, lose energy, and show a dwindling supply of fresh ideas, which all contribute to the "time-for-a-change" dynamic that usually starts to build in second presidential terms.

Fernande's famous hospitality and Georges de Latour's entrepreneurial spirit are how the BV winery gained its reputation. Fernande would be sure that if she hosted anyone in her home, she would always greet the guest with a glass of wine at the door. Georges, on the other hand, was out and about town and was quickly becoming a highly respected figure in the California wine industry. In 1902, the opportunity to purchase more property was presented to him by his neighbor and he bought and planted 127 acres, conveniently located right next to his home.
By 1911, Georges was already garnering attention for his work. This is a quote from the St. Helena Star in May 1911, "When it comes to quality, California is greatly indebted to Mr. G. de Latour, of Rutherford, who for some years has imported hundreds of thousands of the choicest French grafted wines, which have been planted in all the important vineyards in the state." View all BV Century Cellars Wines
About Other CaliforniaView a map of Other California wineries
California has nearly 100 American Viticulture Areas (AVAs) and accounts for almost 90% of wine production in the United States. In our section of Other California, we include wines from smaller AVAs as well as wines from the California AVA. Here are a few smaller AVAs you may see on the label:
Livermore Valley AVA, located right outside of San Francisco and home to wineries such as Wente.
Lodi County AVA, an AVA further east of San Francisco and known for its excellent, old-vine Zinfandels.
San Francisco Bay AVA, a sprawling AVA that covers Contra Costa, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties, to name a few. Wine that holds only the California AVA is typically a wine that includes grapes from a number of different AVAs, which leads to the general labeling of the wine as California. This does not denote the quality of the wine, only the diversity of where the grapes originate.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Now to some this might be boring but here goes.
This morning I had plan to hunt with SUSKIEDRAKE. I awoke to find the weather report calling for not so nice windy weather. Well, I ended up meeting Suskie for the very first time this morning. He was a little hesitant about taking the boat out due to the possible high winds. Well he did it anyway and man am I glad. we ventured our way out to his favorite spot and set up shop. After about an hour of BSing we finally spotted some birds fly onto the shore across from us. Well after soem agressive calling the birds came over to take a look. It was two pair of Mallards. After shooting all but one of them we went to pick them up. I scooped mine up first and two my surpise it was a double banded reward bird. All in all if it wasnt for the windy conditions we probably would have limited out on geese but we just couldnt get the decoys to sit in the water.
We ended up with four mallards total (in 3 hours). I missed a flock of three to end the day.
After all that I want to thank Suskie for a great hunt. For anyone who knows him. He is a modest guy who acts like he isnt the greatest waterfowl hunter. However after spending the morning with him. He is one of the best i have ever been around with a ton of knowledge.

Just acquired a FAL on a century arms receiver, built with an Austrian parts kit, just wondering what they were going for.
Printable View
Just acquired a FAL on a century arms receiver, built with an Austrian parts kit, just wondering what they were going for.
I think retailers are selling them for @ $700 new. Used depends on the condition and function.
I think what type of compliance parts would have some effect also, furniture, condition, bore, finish. etc...
Tell you what, Ill save you some headaches and give you $150 for it.
The name Century scares a lot of people off, even if it wasn't actually built by them.
Is it one of the newer ones with the widows peak feed ramp?
Top = Widow's peak
Bottom = Unibrow
The early Centurys were all Unibrow and notorius bad feeders
Fritz, I picked one up at a Cincinnati gun show last March ,A private sale at $550.Older CAI L1A1 inch parts on metric reciver in good condistion with ex bore,barrel was cut to 20 with no threads for flashhider. The venders had some for $700+
I just completed an FAL on a Century receiver a couple of weeks ago. It's the widow's peak receiver. It has no problems feeding FMJ ammo (it hangs on SP, though - bummer since I have a couple of thousand rounds of SP bullets hanging around). Operation is smooth. It went together quite nicely, except that the interior of the receiver didn't have enough clearance for the extractor to go over a case. A few minutes with a dremel, and it works fine.
The guy who supervised and loaned me his tools has built several on Century receivers, and said he has never had a problem. I'd heard of previous problems, but I found none.

'Ruff said he was a bit worried Connolly had only one practice before the playoffs. "I don't need to sit here and make excuses," Ruff said. "I was the guy who chose to dress him and play him."'
Archives for April 2010
Ruff to be back, but plenty of help needed
Sabres brass say losing takes an emotional toll
'"We do have to alter some things," Regier said. "Exactly what? Do I have some thoughts? Yes. … The answer is yes, I think we have to make some changes. What exactly they will consist of, it's too early to know."'
Sabres' post-mortem examines heart failure
'If the Sabres are going to improve and make a run for a Stanley Cup at some point in the next few years, they need more players who despise losing. No need to rehash Chris Drury's departure and examine his numbers with the Rangers. His attitude is what the Sabres missed most. It's why they signed his alter ego, Mike Grier.'
Sabres retain Ruff for 2010-11
'The longest tenured coach in the league and winningest coach in franchise history, Ruff has a 483-379-122 ledger with 78 ties as Sabres head coach. He guided Buffalo to the Stanley Cup Finals in just his second season of 1998-99, losing to the Dallas Stars in six games. His playoff record with the club stands at 54-41.'
Sabres retain Ruff; set sights on improving roster
'"I don't know," Regier said, when asked if he expects Connolly to remain a member of the team. Regier then clarified himself by noting Connolly has one year left on his contract, but added that the entire roster will be evaluated.'
End of the year press conference: Part I
'Our inability really, to kill a penalty at the start of the third period in Boston, I thought hurt us. Our strength during the year was playing with the lead and how well we played with the lead. We made some errors that allowed Boston some momentum in this series. I don't think it had anything to do with bigger or stronger. I thought physically we were fine in that series. I actually thought we were the harder team.'
End of the year press conference: Part II
'How much of a red flag is it that both Portland and Buffalo went out early in the first round of their respective playoffs? REGIER: I wouldn't… Portland is a very different animal. That is about developing players and that is about process. That team, briefly, we had eight rookies on that team. They and the coaching staff there, that team from the trainers to the coaching staff, that organization, the ownership, did a tremendous job in their development of those kids. You saw Tyler Ennis. He had a terrific year, won Rookie of the Year in the American Hockey League. Nathan Gerbe was there, we have a group of I think very good, young defensemen coming. And that's part of the process for them so everything there is very positive.'
Sabres search for positives after collapse
'"On one side," he said, "it's good. On the other side, talking about wrapping up a season at this time of year is really painful, because we had a lot of good things in place. We were making progress where we felt we needed to. I felt we needed to make some changes to our approach. We did that, and it ended up being good for us. It's too bad it wasn't good enough."'
Sabres' Rivet opts for surgery
'"The whole season I played with a brace that felt like a straightjacket," Rivet said inside HSBC Arena, where the Sabres cleaned out their lockers following their first-round playoff loss to the Boston Bruins. "I was never Nicklas Lidstrom to begin with, but I think I'm a better player than what I've shown. Just throughout the season, the wear and tear on it, the loss of strength, it took away from a lot of the things I was able to do. It kind of feels like I'm giving you an excuse for my season, and I don't think there is an excuse," he said. "I think I can be a lot better player, though."'
Sabres turn focus forward
'"I think there's a great amount of talent on this team. I still really do believe that. You just have to find an approach mentality and live it, be it, own it, do it."'
Regier must weigh his options
'Regier has talked repeatedly about his core players being an asset, but the core hasn't been good enough. If they have core players, it's the fresh-faced kids who tried rescuing veterans who backed down in the playoffs.'
Kaleta, Kennedy await fallout in WNY
'"I'll have to deal with it," Kennedy said of the chatter he might overhear in South Buffalo. "Some people won't have the best opinion of what we did and how it ended. That's why they're fans. I understand. I'm from here. I'll hear it more. All we can do is come back and show them we have what it takes."'
Sabres offseason – The marriage must end
'Regier gets married to his players too and that's where the problem lies. This year's Sabres were near as inconsistent as the past two years. That was proven by winning the division, but when times got rough and the playoffs began, the guys that have been groomed to be the key players failed miserably.'
Miller laments that Sabres season ended too soon
'Miller was troubled by how Buffalo failed to build on the momentum of its regular season and fell flat against the Bruins in what amounts to another learning lesson.'
Glum's the word in Sabreland
'"We made some mistakes during the series, some mistakes that we'd like to have back. Overall, it wasn't good enough. That's just the bottom line."'

Study has shown composted manure can increase crop yields and disease resistance
A striking finding of the study was how crops responded to compost in dramatically different ways. Few field experiments have compared the effects of compost on crops planted into the same plots. Interestingly, in 1998 the beet crop responded strongly to both composts and the NPK control. In contrast, the carrot crop planted six feet away responded most strongly to the goat manure compost. The mechanism remains a mystery, one of the many as yet unanswered questions about compost management.
Experiment with your garden and your soil, compost or amendments to find what works.

Nice looking rifle by the way. I built one real similar to it earlier this year on a DCI receiver also, except I went for the 50.63 look with a folding charging handle, 18 inch barrel, and holland style rear sight.

The Wall Street Journal's Distorted Preemptive Strike Against Lew's Potential Treasury Nomination
The Wall Street Journal discounted and distorted potential Treasury secretary nominee Jack Lew's record, ignoring the economic success he helped foster, in order to claim that Lew is unqualified to be Treasury secretary.
A Journal editorial [1] claimed that Lew did not possess "credibility in the business or financial worlds" and will not make the administration "hospitable to business and private economic growth."
The Journal acknowledged that Lew has twice served as the director of the federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB), once under President Clinton and once under President Obama, but discounted that experience. However, as OMB director, Lew was responsible [2] for overseeing the administration's budget proposals and ensuring that the economic impact of any proposed federal regulations was properly assessed. And during Lew's first tenure [3] in that job the federal government saw budget surpluses totaling [4] over $300 billion.
Additionally, during his first tenure Lew was part of the economic team [5] that saw historic [6] economic growth.
Furthermore, during his time with the Obama administration as OMB director and chief of staff, Lew was part of the team that helped pull the United States out of recession and facilitated steady economic growth [7].
The Journal also claimed that when he was in the Clinton administration, Lew "was viewed by Republicans as a reasonable liberal they could do business with" but as an Obama administration official, Lew "has been the President's most partisan and implacable negotiator." But this assessment may reflect how the Republican Party has changed rather than any change by Lew.
Experts contend that it is Republican legislators who have dramatically increased [8] the partisanship in Washington. Congressional experts Thomas Mann, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and Norman Ornstein, a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, in a Washington Post op-ed and related report concluded [9] that "the Republicans are the problem" when it comes to gridlock and extremism in Washington.
The Wall Street Journal's attack on Lew is the latest [10] in a line [11] of conservative media smears [12] against potential Obama cabinet members.

Dressed in traditional garb from countries on five continents and accompanied by native music, students showcased fashions from around the world for a lunchtime crowd of faculty, staff, and students.
Organized by Mickdaelle Etienne, president of the International Club at CCC, the fashion show was designed to let people walk in another's shoes, if only for two minutes on the catwalk.
"I want people to experience another culture," said Etienne, who comes to CCC from Haiti. "We have Americans wearing African outfits and Haitians—me—wearing traditional American styles. CCC is a very diverse community. This is a chance for all of us to learn about where our friends and neighbors come from and to celebrate the diversity that is in our own backyard."
Etienne is majoring in math and science major and is expected to graduate in May 2014.
"I am very proud of all those who made this show possible," said Sandra Turner-Vicioso, professor of communications and humanities and advisor to the International Club. "Fashion shows are about the details and hard work, and these students have handled every aspect, including the overall message that encourages cultural understanding, thoughtfully and expertly."

I hate to create a thread for a quick answer but I thought hey, maybe we can just have a catch-all for stupid questions asking for an easy answer. If you know the answer, just quote the question and bang it out.
I'll start (sorry in advance). I have a 2011 JSW. What ****ing mirrors do I have? MK5 or MK6. MK5 right?

'"I knew I had to be better," Stafford said. "For a few games there, I wasn't playing like how I need to play. It's definitely something I've had to deal with and make sure I'm putting the work in. Obviously [going to the press box] is not what you want to do for a solution but if that's what it takes, then so be it. I have to accept that."'

Sabres' Stafford gets Ruff's message
Roy, Kaleta not likely to face Pens tonight
'Coach Lindy Ruff said both were scheduled to be evaluated later in the day by team doctors. Kaleta suffered a leg injury Sunday in St. Louis when he slammed into a goalpost while Roy was knocked woozy by a check during Saturday's game against Ottawa.'

'"We've played well, got some bounces," Grier said in Scottrade Center. "We play the same kind of hockey. We all want to play north-south, get the puck in, hang on to pucks and get things to the net."'
Tallinder picked for Olympics
'"It's great," Tallinder said before facing the St. Louis Blues in Scottrade Center. "I wasn't surprised. I knew I was in the mix, but you never know if you're going to be picked or not. It's going to be fun."'

"We didn't play well (Saturday) night," Grier said. "I think we all kind of felt anxious coming into the game tonight and the guys battled. I think it took us a while to find our legs, but we battled and hung in there."'
Buffalo 5, St. Louis 3
"We played well, we got some bounces," Grier said. "We played the same kind of hockey we all want to play…get the puck in, hang on to pucks, get things to the net and try and get our cycle game going." '
Grier, Connolly Score Twice in Sabres' 5-3 Win Over Blues
'Connolly gave Buffalo some insurance and a two-goal lead later in the third by beating Conklin on a shorthanded break. Tyler Myers, who appeared to suffer an injury just seconds before, got the play started in the Sabres' own end by flipping a pass to Grier. The Buffalo forward, who had already scored two goals, carried it deep into the St. Louis zone, spun around, and fed a pass in front of the net to Connolly who then roofed it for his second goal of the night, making it a 5-3 game.'
Ottawa Gladiators lay Buffalo to waste
'It mattered not that their feared opponents were without King Alfredsson, Prince Spezza and Knight Nick Foligno. It mattered not that their backup goalie was thrust into action to man the crease. Nay, the Buffalo Sabres bowed down and kissed the rings of their conquerors for the 4th time this season and will do so again and again for eternity….or so it seems.'
Butler set for return to St. Louis
'"Chris made a commitment to be serious about playing the sport," Turnbull said. "He skated really well and saw the rink well. But he never got in trouble, never got beat one on one. He was good about moving his feet and not getting crunched. And that outlet pass, it was 'boom!'"'

New jobs
Calif. software firm is expanding to Nashua
NASHUA — Cloudera, a closely watched Silicon Valley startup that develops big data management software, has expanded from California to New Hampshire, creating eight new jobs.
The Palo Alto-based company, founded in 2008, pioneered the business use of Hadoop software, an open-source distribution of Apache Hadoop for commercial and noncommercial customers.
Cloudera's new office, located at 402 Amherst St. in Nashua, is a software engineering lab focused on testing and supporting the company's big data products for its clients world wide.
"We chose Nashua because of its proximity to the Boston metro market and easy access to skilled software engineers" said Frank Liva, the company's senior engineering director, in a news release. "Many experienced software engineers in Silicon Valley move from job to job, and we find that New Hampshire attracts a very stable and committed work force and offers a great quality of life."
Michael Bergeron, business development manager for the New Hampshire Department of Resources and Economic Development, worked with Cloudera on its expansion.
The company recently made headlines when it hired a new CEO last month. Business Insider, which called the company "one of the most watched big data startups in the Valley," said the appointment of Tom Reilly as the company's new chief indicated it might be preparing for a public stock offering.
Reilly was previously CEO of security company ArcSight, which he sold to Hewlett-Packard for $1.5 billion two years after he arrived, a 24 percent premium for shareholders, Business Insider noted.
Cloudera raised $65 million in its fifth round of venture capital funding in December, bringing the company's total funds to $140 million, according to Venture Beat.
Cloudera said it would use the funds to expand its global sales, including opening a European headquarters in the UK, according to its website. Cloudera says its customer base includes more than half of the Fortune 50, including AOL, CBS, eBay, Expedia, Experian, JP Morgan Chase, Monsanto, Morgan Stanley, Network Appliance, Nokia and BlackBerry.

Arsène Wenger does not believe Manchester City's defeat to Real Madrid will have any bearing on Sunday's game at the Etihad Stadium.
Roberto Mancini's side were leading 2-1 with five minutes to go at the Bernabeu, before goals from Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo condemned them to defeat.
Some have speculated that it could have an adverse effect on the Premier League champions, but Wenger says they will adopt a different approach against Arsenal.
"I was surprised by what happened because I heard they were 2-1 up and suddenly they lost 3-2," he told Arsenal Player.
"In the Champions League the last five minutes are very important. For the rest [of the match] they played a game that was based on defending well and counter-attacking, so it could be a little bit different when they play against us, tactically.
"We know it's a big test. We go there in a very good, positive mind. We have a good opportunity to show how good we are and how strong we are. So let's take it."
City have conceded 10 goals in six games so far this season, but Wenger warns that it is too early to draw any definite conclusions.
"At the moment it's very open in the league," he said. "We have many good teams and it's a bit early, because we're only four games in.
"After 10 to 15 games you have a better idea of the strengths in the league. So let's get in a good position so that after 10 games we have a serious chance [of winning the title]."

Suzanne & Jordon
July 28
Townsend, Tennessee
Q & A with the Bride:
1. What was the one thing about your venue that made you know it was the one?
When we visited the gardens before the wedding, we spent over an hour exploring the many areas of the garden. We loved the field of lilies that served as the backdrop for the ceremony site. The ceremony site gazebo was grand and rustic with a cemented stone aisle and fit perfectly with our vision for a romantic, outdoor wedding. Our wedding was late in the summer, so we didn't get the full effect of the spring blooms in the lily field, but it was a beautiful setting nonetheless
2. Which three details from your wedding were your favorites?
1) The vintage furniture pieces with the photo frame wall Jordon built: The vintage rental pieces and the photo wall backdrop really helped create the atmosphere for the reception and tied our other elements together with a common theme. They created a big impact at an affordable price and guests enjoyed the lounge seating area by the dance floor and posing for fun photos.
2) The whimsical table centerpieces: each with a different object and a fluttering butterfly in a mason jar. Jordon and I had fun together shopping for each of the items. My favorite of the objects was a white resin pig. I don't know why; I just love him. He now resides on my mantle.
3) The men's boutonnieres: Jordon helped pick out the items to go in them and put them together himself. He did a great job and really tried to make something we would both be happy with even though he nixed the peacock feathers I wanted to incorporate (the blue tiny flowers were a fair compromise). It meant a lot to me that he was involved with the details of the wedding so that it represented us both.
3. Give us the one moment in your wedding day you can't stop thinking about.
We've come to the conclusion that the best moment of the day was when the ceremony was over, and we were announced into the reception pavilion. That was the first time we saw all the projects and planning come together, and we knew we could relax and have some fun and libations. The sangria was especially sweet after all the stress of the day. (Although, a close second was when I saw my flowers were pink instead of peach. That was a bridezilla moment.)

Thread: Landover "Redtails"?
Landover "Redtails"?
This is the height of liberal hypocrisy:
A D.C. Councilmember plans to introduce a resolution that calls on the Washington Redskins to change their name. Council member David Grosso (GRAH'-so), an at-large independent, says the name is "racist and derogatory," and that "it's time to make a change."
...... Grosso's resolution suggests "Redtails" as a new nickname. He says it would honor the Tuskegee Airmen and allow the team to maintain its fight song and color scheme with a few minor changes.In a 2003 BBC poll that asked Brits to name the "Greatest American Ever", Mr. T came in fourth, behind ML King (3rd), Abe Lincoln (2nd) and Homer Simpson (1st).
Re: Landover "Redtails"?
I don't think most blacks, including myself, would find "Redtails" racist.
There is no need to change the name. Only a small miniority of native americans have ever made any issue of it. Besides the name Redskins had almost nothing to do with indians, but to honor the Boston Tea Party.

Not sure why this is a "liberal" issue, considering that Pols from both sides of the fence have been clambering for a name change for years ....
I've never understood why this vocal minority of people who want a name change get so much publicity. WaPo did a story a few years back, and its literally only one group that's spawning all of this.
This is about PC nonsense, not race or discrimination.

Re: Landover "Redtails"?
This may not have been a big deal for most cities, but DC is a pretty liberal city. I suspect that is why there is a lot of hooplah about this.
Re: Landover "Redtails"?
name for years. They got a high school to change its name. They always sue the
Washington Redskins, not the Atlanta Braves or Chicago Blackhawks or cities and states named Indianapolis, Indiana.
The original name was the Boston Braves up in Massachusetts in 1932 and George
Preston Marshall was the owner that changed the name and he was infamous
for being a racist.
The following year he moved to Fenway Park home of the Red Sox and re-named
the team to Redskins. They moved to DC in 1937. Today they're the second wealthiest
NFL team worth about $1.55B according to Forbes.
College football was king in 1932 and Marshall incorporated many of its popular
gimmicks like half time shows and he had the first marching band and fight song
called HAIL TO THE CHIEFS but he was
so racist he refused to sign minority players while the Colts, Browns and Packers
did and beat the shit out of him. He even traded the rights to Ernie Davis the great
RB from Syracuse to the Browns because he was black but Davis died of leukemia
before he ever played.
Marshall also claimed Bmore as his property and kept us from getting a team.
Sound familiar? When we finally got the Colts he got a $100,000 infringement
fee from the city and that was a lot of money back in the late 40s and early 50s.
The Bullets changed their name because of PC with so many getting killed by them
when DC became the murder capital of the country but the name Redskins is very
offensive to native Americans.
There's also military helicopters named Apache and Blackhawk in honor of those native Americans. In fact, the Caribbean got its name from an indian tribe named the
Caribbe-sp in Puerto Rico that fought Ponce De Leon when he discovered the island. They were the most fierce tribe he fought and honored them naming the famous sea after them.
The Skins always claimed their name was in honor of millions of fans around the world
but Marshall was definitely a racist and was thinking of the old cowboys days in the west
when they called them that and killed them.

Re: Landover "Redtails"?
1) Does an issue become obsolete just because "a small minority" cares about it? (The USA was actually founded on principles that protect the minority from the majority.)
2) Does an issue become morally irrelevant just because "a small minority" cares about it? Or, in other words, if I believe use of the term "Redskins" is wrong (which I do), should I stop fighting for change (change I believe is for the good) just because it's not a popular opinion?
3) I also find it hard to believe that only "a small minority" of Native Americans do not like being called "redskins." I went to Dartmouth for undergrad, which has a strong and vibrant Native American community (and a touchy Native American history, much like the U.S.) Never in my wildest dreams would I think it was OK to call one of my Native American friends a "redskin." But I could be convinced of this "small minority" you claim if pointed in the right direction with links, etc.

Re: Landover "Redtails"?
I too have found it very odd that the team is always on the kick that the name "honors" Native Americans. Excuse me? By using a name that was tossed around by bigots and their oppressors (sorry for the dramatic language, but it's true)?

Re: Landover "Redtails"?
As a Ravens fan, I don't really care one way or the other if the name stays or goes.
But a simple check online with snopes and other sites shows the history of the word (that it's origins do start with the name honoring native Americans) and that the "outrage" is recent phenomenon, from a very small group of people and their are numerous Native American tribes that are either indifferent or support the use of the name.
From the outside looking in, looks to me like a bunch of not so well intended and intrusive do-gooders creating a controvery then jockeying to be the saviors.
I cannot stand Maryland's quaint, alternative little football team as much as the next Ravens fan. But I hope Snyder holds fast on this one.

I hope you keep posting here, aka.
We need some balance to this area of the boards and hopefully you'll provide some spirited and respectful debate from your side of the political fence.
Re: Landover "Redtails"?
Personally I don't think the name should be change.
BTW thanks for the compliment, hope you continue to post in this forum ak. It can be a little one sided around here at times.

I have argued vehemently that FSU is under no obligation to change their name as they have the full support of the local Seminole peoples and use the name respectfully and without the racially insensitive imagery that teams like the Cleveland Indians do.
And while I can acknowledge that the Skins mascot is racially respectful, I agree with others who point out that the term redskin is not. Perhaps a compromise would be to adopt FSU's approach and honor a specific local Native American tribe. I confess I'm a bit ignorant as to the local tribes, but perhaps a more knowledgable poster could fill us in on which nations originated in the DC, Md, NoVa area.My motto was always to keep swinging. Whether I was in a slump or feeling badly or having trouble off the field, the only thing to do was keep swinging. -Hank Aaron
Re: Landover "Redtails"?
The Piscataway Indians ruled Southern Maryland and were discovered by Capt John
Smith. They originally called the Potamac River river of geese and that name reflects
their original name albeit several spelling changes later.
The Susqehanna indians ruled most of Maryland or northern MD as the famous river is named after them. The state of Delaware is named after the Delaware indians from there.
However, indians were harsh on each other. The Blackhawks came all the way down from
up Canada to here and fought those tribes. Then enslaved the Delwares and the
Susquehanas ran off. They ruled the territory up here in Harford County.
The tribe mentioned in Kevin Costner's movie DANCES WITH WOLVES was one of the most fierce tribes out west but that movie showed how hard they were treated by rival tribes. Women were raped and enslaved by other tribes and sold to other tribes.
The Boston Braves might well have been named in honor of the Boston Tea Party. That was the original name of the Skins as posted above when it was definitely racist when Marshall
changed to Redskins. On second thought, the colonists masqueraded as indians so the king would blame them not the merchants who did the dirty deed and while the word terrorist wasnt used in those days, they would have been considered terrorists by today's standards.
Just a thought.
