The first time I went to Bowen Island to see gardens was in 1999. I remember it well because I went to the west-side garden of Pat Sanne and her husband, retired Norwegian seaman, Karl, who made a point of flying the Union Jack in my honour on their ship-shaped deck.
Looking around Bowen I quickly realized that the biggest challenges gardeners faced were lack of soil depth, shortage of water and incorrigible deer that nibble plants to death. I returned to Bowen last month to see more gardens and found little had changed.
Water is still a major issue. Most gardeners have invested in large storage tanks, some of which hold up to 3,000 gallons.
Soil depth remains a major challenge: The simple act of planting a tree or shrub invariably involves hacking away with a pick axe to poke a hole through glacial hardpan. And while gardeners are smarter and know more precisely what deer will and won't eat, their biggest headache is still how to deter free-roaming, perpetually hungry deer.
During my recent visit, I saw four gardens — two on the cooler, eastside of the island, one on the sunnier, drier west side, and one 900 feet above sea level in the Mount Gardner area. Here's a brief look at each garden.
John and Katherine Lawrence's garden
John and Katherine Lawrence regard themselves as Bowen's "resident experts" on deer-resistant plants.
Since they moved from Vancouver to their one-acre waterfront property off Baker Road in 2003, they have concentrated on growing mainly deer-proof plants — smelly plants (lavender, alliums, herbs, daphne and nepita), prickly plants (thistles, acanthus), yellow flowers (narcissus), hairy-leafed plants (sages), grey and fuzzy-leafed plants (stachys, artemisia) and poisonous plants (monkshood, euphorbias).
They also spray a deer-repellent product called Not Tonight Deer, which they get in the U.S. This apparently works wonders.
They also erected an electric deer fence to protect their front garden, where they grow irises, miscanthus, peonies, lavatera, specialties like angel's fishing rod and Australian mint bush and a few native species, such as trilliums, camassia and shooting star (Dodecantheon).
Katherine's sister, designer Martha Sturdy, has some of her artwork installed in an area outside of the deer-protected garden, amid masses of yellow flag irises and skunk cabbage.
Last year, the Lawrences bought the property next door — about 1.8 acres — which they are rapidly landscaping to include an enclosed vegetable garden.
They have splattered the site with clumps of daffodils, creating a striking spring picture. "Nature gives you many gifts," says Katherine, "but it also gives you challenges. The deer are a challenge, but the rock outcrops are beautiful."
Now in his 70s, John can't explain his decision to take on such an enormous project so late in life, except to say that he has in mind the concept of "legacy" -leaving something for the future.
John and Eileen Lord's garden
Located about 900 feet above sea level, the sprawling six-acre garden belonging to John and Eileen Lord is as much a triumph over virtually impenetrable terrain as it is a work of transcendent beauty.
Fed up with hacking away with pickaxes, the Lords invested in a backhoe with front end-loader.
This made it possible for them to build the ruggedly beautiful wild garden they wanted. Eileen is a big fan of Beth Chatto (famous for her Colchester gravel garden) and Piet Oudolf (Dutch plantsman) and she has drawn inspiration from them to shape and fill her garden with ornamental grasses, day lilies and heat-tolerant, free-flowering summer colour plants, such as Knautia macedonica, agastache and Verbena bonariensis.
She found lavender, rosemary and myrtle grow best around a sunny pool garden while aquilegia, lupins and day lilies flourish in exposed rocky outcrop areas.
John has built a red bridge over a natural pond in which lilies and bulrushes thrive. And Eileen has found Siberian irises do well in the boggy ground nearby where a wisteria planted in a pot has been trained to scramble over the bridge.
Along with a grove of Himalayan birch trees, the Lords have found room for a small apple orchard, raspberry patch and vegetable garden, screened by a beech hedge. In other spots, they have a true quince tree (Cydonia oblonda), two arbutus trees and are seeing if they can grow an olive tree.
For summer, Eileen plants dozens of homegrown seedings of yarrow, osteospermum and anthemis.
Dirk and Ines Gigling's garden
Dirk and Ines Gigling's shade garden on Jason Road was dripping with rain when I arrived late in the afternoon. The light levels were awful, but it didn't spoil the charm of the garden, which is tucked under towering firs and cedars with glimpse views of the ocean.
A professional landscaper, Dirk has installed an inviting network of wood-chip paths as well as a patio built from recycled chimney bricks, high deer-proof fences and a charming Japanese-style pavilion-like wooden entrance gate.
These installations give the garden a solid structure, within which the couple have planted rhododendrons and azaleas, an umbrella pine, ornamental cherry, southern magnolia, aucuba and lots of shade-loving perennials, such as hostas, lungworts, astilbes and hellebores.
Kathy Leishman's garden
Tucked away in the balmier, southwest corner of the island, Kathy Leishman's oceanside garden has two faces: a deer-proof woodland garden and an open Mediterranean-style garden that slopes down to the sea.
In the fenced area, Leishman, a garden designer, has organized plants into colour schemes — yellows; reds, oranges and dark foliage; pinky purples and blues; and whites, creams and silvery greys.
When I visited, this area was teeming with pink and white hellebores in full bloom along with yellow-flowering stachyurus and corylopsis, red camellias plus the always attractive peeling bark of a paperbark maple.
The descent from the handsome entry gate to the house takes you down a gentle slope, through a formal gravel terrace and over granite steps.
On the sunnier, ocean side, Leishman says she has tried for "plant communities" that like the same amount of water.
"I have relied on shrubs from New Zealand, Tasmania, coastal California and Oregon, and other dry regions," she says. "Many of the perennials are Mediterranean — any that will stand up and look interesting all summer without constant watering, including bulbs that go conveniently dormant."
The elevation changes repeatedly as you move through the garden. "No matter where you stand and look, you see a perfect picture," says Ines.
"The morning light is the most beautiful. It comes up over the ocean and creates all sorts of light windows. The light is not just on and off, it is subtle, changing all the time as it reflects off foliage."
Dirk says his biggest challenge is trying to maintain the balance between native and introduced species. He likes the idea of his site being an enhanced woodland but is planning to add an elaborate grotto that will take advantage of a natural stream running through the property. "This will be one of the hot spots in the garden," says Ines. "People will want to hang out here because of the soothing sound of the water."
As for the deer, she says: "They are always hungry, and so I strive for a very natural and rather overgrown look here, as any damage is less apparent."
The overall planting is restrained, using donkey tail spurge, lamb's ear and Mexican feather grass to decorate the broad steps leading down the hillside, and giant clumps of miscanthus and blue grass along with phlomis, lavender and euphorbias to add reliable foliage and sculptural elegance.
Leishman had a beautiful garden in West Vancouver, but when she moved to Bowen in 1997 she had to learn how to garden in the company of deer, create adequate soil depth and plant a water-wise landscape.

Chris Brown has been dumped by Karrueche Tran ... again.
No wonder she's been calling me.
According to TMZ, Tran went nuts recently when Brown "liked" two fan photos of Rihanna and him together on Instagram.
Apparently, that was only part of the problem. The website reports Tran has been unhappy for a while because "Chris acts immature, like a child," a source said, adding Tran thinks Brown is ruining his life by partying more than making music.
Chris Brown makes music?
Brown reportedly reacted to being dumped in an incredibly mature fashion. He took a friend of Tran's to St. Tropez this week and made a point of being photographed with her so Tran could see them together.
See? Totally mature.
TMZ says Tran reacted by changing her phone number so Brown couldn't contact her.
I give it a week.

Andre Roberson made a decision on Friday. It just wasn't the decision everyone thought he'd make.
A standout forward on the Colorado men's basketball team, Roberson had scheduled a press conference for Friday morning to announce his intentions to either enter the NBA draft or return to CU for his senior year. Instead, he decided he needed more time to think about it, and CU canceled the press conference.
As of Friday afternoon, there were no plans to reschedule the press conference.
Roberson, a 6-foot-7 forward, has until 9:59 p.m. on Sunday to make the decision on whether or not to declare for the NBA draft.
For three years, Roberson has been one of CU's best players. Last season as a junior, Roberson was named the Pac-12 Conference Defensive Player of the Year. He averaged 10.9 points and 11.2 rebounds per game for the Buffs (21-12), helping them to reach the first round of the NCAA Tournament for the second year in a row.
He ranked second nationally in rebounds per game last year after ranking third in 2011-12 (11.1 per game).
Roberson is the only player in CU history to lead the team in rebounds, steals and blocks three years in a row. With 1,045 career rebounds, he is just nine shy of CU's all-time record (Stephane Pelle, 1,054 from 1999-2003).
Despite all the success he has had with the Buffs, Roberson is not considered by many to be a top NBA prospect. Several mock drafts online have Roberson projected as either a mid-to-late second round pick, or not being picked at all.
The NBA draft consists of two rounds, with 60 total picks. Only first-round picks are given guaranteed contracts.
Even if Roberson does get drafted, he faces a tough road ahead. From 2009-2012, 40 of the 120 players drafted in the second round never made it onto an NBA roster.
Should Roberson decide to leave, he will become just the fourth Buff to forego eligibility and enter the draft. The others -- Chauncey Billups (1997, No. 3 pick), David Harrison (2004, No. 29) and Alec Burks (2011, No. 12) -- were all first-round picks.

A trial date for alleged Boulder "potty peeper" Luke Chrisco has been set once again, this time for late August, after his return from a mental health evaluation.
Chrisco, 32, is set to stand trial on eight counts of second-degree burglary -- all felonies -- and two misdemeanor counts of unlawful sexual contact and criminal invasion on Aug. 26, more than two years after he was arrested.
Matt Connell -- the fourth attorney to represent Chrisco -- successfully amended Chrisco's plea from not guilty to not guilty by reason of insanity in February, and Chrisco underwent a mental health evaluation in preparation for trial.
Chrisco was arrested in June 2011 a few days after a woman using a portable toilet at a Boulder yoga festival noticed something moving in the tank and then saw a feces-stained man emerge from the toilet and run away.
According to police and court records, Chrisco -- who was arrested by Vail police in an unrelated incident -- told Boulder and University of Colorado police that he hid in crawl spaces and bathrooms around Boulder, including at CU, Naropa University, the Department of Motor Vehicles office and a number of businesses, in order to watch women use the toilet.
Police later found physical modifications in many of the locations that matched Chrisco's descriptions of his hiding places.
Connell has said Chrisco was not in the right state of mind when he committed any of those crimes. If found not guilty by reason of insanity at trial, Chrisco would undergo treatment at the Mental Health Institute in Pueblo.
His case already has seen numerous delays, and has had three prior trial dates vacated because of either changes in his representation or his plea.

New triggerframe? Ugh. Now that looks tuff.
New triggerframe? Ugh. Now that looks tuff.
I think your concept of mask clearance is spot on. One of the reasons I'm able to use my Simmons scope so well is that I can move the marker across my front (left, center, and right) and still maintain sight picture. While the stock looks more traditional, I've never used one and I'm not sure I can retain the same shooting positions.
Here's a picture of me shooting from the side. I think this picture illustrates how the bottle becomes my stock and in combination with a nice drop forward and a slide on sight-rail I get very good eye alignment.
For reference, this is a classic, with a 12" J&J ceramic. sight-rail and Simmons 30mm Red-dot. It's a VERY small setup. I actually have a Q-loader system but I haven't set it up yet. I'm lazy!
By placing the Q-loader beneath the barrel the only thing I would have to change is my front hand position. The length of (or lack of) the drop forward allows shooters to adjust how far back or forward they'd want the marker to sit.
As for stock adaptors, I think the ones that connect to the rail and the trigger frame look great and offer, I think, much better durability.

you guys were onto something with the intigrated grip/q loader addaptor, with a classic valve, you couldnt sell those quick enough
So it is agreed no matter what we design is should be based around spec ops stocks. but keep in mind you have a lot of guys who have tac ones and don't want to shell out extra money for a warp frame any solutions? agd should make a tac one warp feed body.
I agree we should focus on using spec ops stocks, as milling a gas thru might end up becoming more work and expense then just buying one pre-made. If a person were to mill their own stock, then we could just use the same port, or connection point to leave people with the option. So, thats settles that, unless anyone else has anything else to contribute on that topic?
Aslo, should we decide on the fact that we are indeed leaning towards the Qloader as opposed to the warp?
Also, excellent pic severe. That really shows the pose and level of comfort we wanna go for. I am also pretty stoked you are running a classic, and a J and J. Thats a nice tight, and inexpensive yet very effective setup. I would like that to be the starting point for our marker setup personally, cept with a 14 inch J and J. A least that is what I am going to be buying in the next lil while.
That classic rail is so easy to milt thru and design around. No matter how a person upgrades the concept rifle we are designing, I feel we should be basing it around the classic rail.
I will get back to the ops stocks and q loader grip later tonite. Im gonna watch the fights at the local ripper bar. My friends are gonna poo when I tell them how much fun I am having helping design a paintball marker.
I really think that a qloader is a better base for the design that you are going for, it is much more streamline and goes better with the weighting for the marker
Kay. Lets break it down...
The AGD over the Black Cell Ion has:
- a narrow and shorter profile
- lower head position when firing, making for a smaller target
- warp feed right frame allows for a sleek shape, and no long Q loader tubes sticking out
- A longer more complete focal plane across the top of the marker for better intuative aiming and hip shooting
- No air macro lines messing up the bottom of the marker
- A tighter Q loader position, allowing a good look with a shorter barrel length
- a nice grip over the Q loader housing
- a safer and more durable Q loader setup
- Needs three peices to be milled to be a complete package (Q shroud, top shroud and stock adapter)
what it lacks is:
- a foregrip to take the weight off the Q loader (tho the tighter set up does this a little)
- without a vert feed, the marker HAS to be Q fed. No backup plans if Qloader breaks.
- more stuff that I am just not thinking of now
All in all, I like the mag more. Id WAY rather be playing with that mag as opposed to that Ion anyday. The lynchpin is the milling. How much would it be to get those three peices made, and how? If that peice falls into place, this marker becomes a reality.
I hope it does materialize, cuz I wanna play with one!
Actually, one could go powerfeed, and tilt the powerfeed down to be fed into the Q Loader tube that way. This is how it is usually done. All one has to do is get a sight mount, or riser, and perhaps a new adapter so the stock fits a little higher. The stock does look a little low when it isnt changed, tho it might still feel better lower.
And this one is in black, to show the difference.
Again, who knows what feels/fits better until a mock up is tried on for size. Anyone wanna get their Automag and cut some cardboard or wood and try these stocks and shapes out?
I can now clearly see why that JCS stock is so popular. It really does allow for that tight posture. As we can see, our stock does not suit this posture as well as a bottle does. In this pose, a bottle is the stock, and does a pretty dang good job of it.
I am sure the stock will work tho, just not in this tight firing position.... the problem is that this is one of the best firing positions in paintball. I am thinking that our design may want to lend more towards this style of firing position.
something like this would feel better. not nearly as cool lookin tho. comfort should come before looks if the two come to heads however.
maybe we wont have a problen with the higher stock after all, and wont have to worry about total mask clearance?
NO ONE IS POSTING PICS! I wish they would. It would help clear up SO many questions I have about mask clearance. Any probbing people could do to bump that thread would be great. Maybe post some pics of this marker on that thread, and generate some more interest that way?Originally Posted by LONEWOLFOO1
EDIT: Oops, just clicked the link and noticed that Lonewolf did an excellent job of this just recently. Thanks man.

for comparison purposes. I bet is we were to put the Longbow air thru on that ADG marker, with that mid level stock adapter, the size would be bang on. Ill try one tommorow.
Keep this in mind that there is some hieght on the longbow shroud if you do have a tac one not a warp feed body all you need to order is the shroud kit. i order the whole kit and it should be here in a couple of days. but on thing for sure we should implement the spec ops air thru stock to keep parts cost down.
so order the stock only i think thats 80 bucks
and all we need to make is a adaper for it.
or order the jcs but i like the air thru stocks it does'nt expose the air line as much.
The one thing the scenario houses haven't figured out yet is there is no such thing as stock weld when it comes to paintball. Masks don't allow it. For those of you who aren't familiar with the term, when teaching shooting techniques, stick weld is the connection point between the shooters cheek/face and the stock that allows for weapon control and good sight picture/sight alignment.
I would hate to recommend re-inventing the wagon wheel but if the SpecOps stock was flipped it would allow for the same shoulder support while allowing the shooters mask more room behind the marker. The catch is, this would require a lower mounting point which shouldn't be a problem is you went with the style that connects to the rail and trigger frame.
For example:
I just have a few quesitons. My first question is, with all of this stuff you are doing, where in the name of all holy are you going to put a remote hook-up? Also, how are you going to open the marker for fixes, cleaning, and repair. From the pictured I have seen, you guys have a lot of screws to worry about. Second off, why not just use a tank? I mean come on, you already have it, its cheap, its a bit heavy (but easy to get used to), and it gives perfect sight clearance. Also, do any of you understand the point of the Black Cell ION kit? I dont mean to get you all POed, but your missing the point. The ION kit is for much more that just a "sniper" role. Its trying to get more high end markers into woodsball/scenario types of play. People at Special Ops get upset because they cant put a stock on X marker, and now Special Ops is looking into a way to do it. I have no idea where any of you get that they dont have enough clearance. I own their A-5 SAW stock, and all I need for clearance is about an inch raise. The longbow and blackcell have plenty of clearance. And you talk about the responce issue of an X-Valve, and how you have to shoot fast for consistancy. If you read the (RT Pro/Tac-One) manual this isnt true. The best range of psi inputs is 750-850 psi. At high (850 psi) input, it is more consistant to shoot fast. This is for faster shooters, and would be great for speedball. At medium (800 psi input) input, its about in the middle, and you can shoot very consistantly at both slow shots and fast shots. It describes it as "for the player who combines rapid firing with an occasional sniper shot". At low (750 psi) inputs, your first shots are more consistant each time. This is said to"benefit a sniper with consistent slow shots". So now if you figure this, you could just pop a regulater on it for about $70. This would let you adjust the velocity down to 750 psi. Or you could just buy an old Classic Valve w/ a lvl 7 bolt. If you got the classic valve, you could even get a 12 gram adapter, and run the marker off of 12 grams. Then, you wouldn't even need a heavy tank or a remote.
Access to the valve has not changed throughout these concepts. It's still retained by the single screw, so gaining access to the valve is as simple as removing the single screw. Once the valve is off, you can clean pretty much everything you need.
Everything else that has been discussed is simply cosmetics. Sure, there are screws to attach these bodies to the existing rail and body but nothing that changes the underlying marker.
I'm not sure what you mean when you say "tank". Are you talking about C02/HPA tank or something else? I think the idea here is to allow the shooter to use either a stock OR a directly mounted bottle.
The Black Cell Ion, like every other mil-sim/tactical kit/marker coming out is just a manufactures attempt to capitalize on the sudden interest in these style markers. This is just my opinion, but I think the Ion is a very poor choice for a scenario marker platform. Besides, we're on AO. We want a mag platform!
X-valve vs. Classic valve: I currently own both and I can tell you that the Classic has better shot to shot consistency. The X-valve is geared more towards providing a volume of fire and, YES, it's a known fact that the consistency changes on the X-valve/RT/Emag valves based on the shot string. That's why there's a specific method to how those valves have to be chrono'ed. Also, most players are not going to have adjustable HPA systems. Additionally, the ability of classic valves to run on C02 makes them more appealing to the masses. I'm not going to touch the comment on putting a regulator on a mag.
Anyway, the valve part is strictly up to the shooter. I think these concepts are geared towards retro fitting current mags to be more mil-sim/scenario based.

As far as the Black Cell ION, thats not why they made it. I go to Special Op's forum more than I go here. As far as a mag platform, thats what a Tac-One is isn't is? Yet you claim it doesn't have enough sight clearance...
As far as putting a regulater on a Mag, why would that be a problem? I mean sure, you are just killing your recharge rate, but if your going to set it down to 750 psi input and play as a "sniper", one shot one kill right? You dont need speed, and therefor it doesn't really matter, unless I am missing something. If I am missing something, would you be kind enough to inform me instead of insisting on saying that your "not going to touch the comment"? I, as a human beeing, am just trying to make sence of why it really matters to you what Special Ops does, and why everybody is set to "beat them". Its almost like if your not beating Spec Ops, then you dont matter in this world, or atleast thats how many make it seem.
BTW: Not all need an adjusteable tank, as some are preset to 800psi output. With 800psi input, the X-Valve is good for rapid fire and slow shots, so theoretically it should be well rounded velocity wise.
Also: I would just like to let you know that I am not trying to put down your idea. Your idea is great, and its all about what you are personally comforteable with. I respect that you want to make your own stuff. My intentions are to post my ideas, and then hear your idea of my idea, and to learn from it. I really dont know a lot about automags, for I am new to them, but I would like to learn. If this is not the place to do so, please PM me.

I personally would like to keep my tank/bottle as my stock. I like a self contained rig and I'm not sure a remote would go well with how I like to play. I think right now the idea is to have the stock mount be an option.
The Tac-One works well for sight clearance depending on it's setup. However, having the off-set scope isn't necessary if you have a warp-feed body. I think that is the underlying theme here. I love my Tac-One but I typically play with my Classic if I'm looking for first shot consistency. Frankly the speed isn't that big deal for me; both shoot as fast as I can pull the trigger.
I suppose if you wanted to regulate down to 750psi a regulator wouldn't be horrible, but from everything I've read on AO, it's generally considered a bad practice to put a reg on a mag. A good flow, preset bottle is all she needs to sing.
I'll also throw out an apology. If I came across as abrasive, sorry, that was not my intention.
What I meant when I said about the Tac-One and sight clearance, I was getting back to the Longbow being mag based, and reviewed to have great sight clearance.Originally Posted by Severe
As far as an apology, I accept. Many people think I am trying to contradict them, and I see why.
Well, it is nice indeed to see a measure of passion come into the thread
You guys got good points. I tend to agreed with Severe, expecially on the points of the classic valve, and the stock as an option. The Classic Mag is the ultimate high performance low end marker, and its price is so low for what you get. This is an excellent starting point for our concept. The Tac One also has to be involved in this design, for peope who already own them, but as a ground up concept I am going to work with the Classic mainly.
The Longbow and Black Cell sniper will simply not feel as good to handle on the feild as any marker will full mask clearance behind the marker. Its an obvious truth that people are afraid to admit, even after looking at hundreds of poses of people firing their paintball markers in the same way. It is no wonder why bottles/tanks are the popular choice for a stock, cuz they are in the right place.
I really want to use Spec Ops stocks as a stock option, as long as we can put them in their proper place. Our paintball is not going to look like a real gun or be arranged like a real gun, because it is never going to be shot like a real gun unless in your backyard unmasked (and unsafe). We are going to combine the best of both worlds. It is a nod of respect to Spec Ops and AGD this way as well. I do not respect the Longbow or Black Cell Ion however.
Also, the shroud on the Qloader, and top of the marker is simply cosmetic. They really are there for looks right now, and represents the final optional phase of the design/construction. I will post some "naked" designs soon, so we can see how they look.
That stock idea is great severe. That design would make for WAY better clearance. I am going to experiment with the Dogleg stock, and repositioning a few of the Spec Ops stocks.
And if we were gonna do a dogleg, we may as well build them, cuz those are dang easy to build. Bent sheet aluminium. Very doable.
I agree. It is going to be nice when you get that kit. You will propell this design into its next phase with pics and information that we cannot seem to get on the Spec Ops site from people who already have owned that marker setup for months.Originally Posted by LONEWOLFOO1
There are a few things I would like to say. First off, to make your Classic Mag theory even better, many people consider it a high end marker. You say low end, but even PBReview labels it a High End Mech. I believe it is because it still has a more advanced (yet still simple) valve system, as opposed to the average low end blowback.Originally Posted by famousgamer
As far as the Longbow not giving as much clearance as a tank, it is not supposed to. It is meant to be handled and aimed as though it was a rifle. It will, when shot like that, give plenty of mask clearance. I truely do respect your idea, but I do think the Longbow and Blackcell projects deserve a bit more respect. They do exactly what the marker upgrades were intended to do. I just really would like to see more respect for their work, as I know for a fact that they would respect yours.
Thats an interesting point Ninja. Actually, if it was not for Spec Ops making stocks and add-ons in the first place, I probably would not be as interested in this project. Their air thru stuff is ground breaking to a degree, and their commitment to bringing woodsball into the future is admirable. So... I guess in that case I do respect them indeed.
I just think that the Longbow and Black Cell are a little more marketing, and a little less functionality. I want to inject a measure of usefullness to our marker setup, so paintball stalkers out there can enjoy some of the benifits of marker comfort, feild of view and ADG quality while still have a cool marker they can be proud to own.
And that is a very good idea. While Special Ops motto is "Mods that Make Sence" and many of their mods are very practical, you are looking into a more advanced style. Special Ops ussually tries to stay pretty traditional as far as stocks. Their idea is to make a balanced stock that lets the stock roll to the shoulder just like a real stock, and add some cool features, such as air-through. What you are pretty much doing is making an scenario looking upgrade that looks cool, and replaces the tank with something lighter, yet just as functional. Its kinda a more unique style than anything. I truely respect that. Its a really cool idea. I do wish you much luck with this project. Its starting to look really cool, and has good functions. Personally, I think you are doing really good with this.Originally Posted by famousgamer
kinda a cheapo version, if we cant get milling done. The backup plan kinda.
i've watched this thread on and off, very cool ideas. Getting pretty close to the project I currently am working on. If I can dig through the thread and find what template you guys are using for your setups, I'll see if I can modify it to what I'm doing right now.
I'd have real photos of phase 1 but I ran into a couple nasty problems, along with a busted dremel. Right now I need to figure out an easy way to attach the body to the rail (had to cut off the original way from the understide of the body) and it seems I also need to move the trigger pin forward about 1/8-1/4" and hope I can rig the sear.
Ok here is what I'm working on currently (or have in mind). I wanted to make a nice milsim gun where theres no real visible hopper, no real visible tank or remote line....so this is what I came up with in my mind.
The Q-loader actually feeds in from the bottom. I moved the gripfame back as far as I could, knocked the powerfeed tube off of a stainless body (much cheaper than a ule :P), drilled a hole in the bottom of the body and rail to feed the paintballs up into. In doing this there are NO SIDE TUBES hanging off the side of the gun, it just feeds directly up. The only non-symmetric thing will be the hose traveling 3-4 inches from the valve to the asa on the stock.
This works perfectly with a stainless body because of the twist lock barrel....the barrel actually IS the breech, so I don't have to worry about sealing up the top hole (may get to it later with some bondo).
RAP makes nice butstocks in which you can *hide* a tank, also the buttstock is extendable along that bottom rail. (stocks seen here) My only real problem is the amount of air is minimal. The nice retractable stock can only hold at max a 3oz co2 tank. I was thinking about buying one of the stocks in hopes of being able to fit a 2 inch diameter tank inside of it after some customizing....if I AM able to get a 2inch diameter tank in (3oz is 1.5inch so need to get an extra 1/2") I'll be able to use 7/9oz co2 or even the 13/22cu 3000psi hpa tanks which would help with air.
Meh, it was an idea that was kicking around in my head for a long time and just had to actually start trying it before it drove me crazy. Right now I've got to modify the sear/trigger a bit and I should be good as far as the qloader mounting. I originally wanted to mount this all in an ar-15 type shell (either real or airsoft). Also the Qloader would be *disguised* as a m203 launcher....or maybe just painted/airbrushed to look the part.
This was another idea I had. Qloader pods and socket would need some modification but I believe it would be fairly easy to get them to feed out of the TOP of the pod (the top of the end cap). If I could do that I could add a little magazine area with a hole drilled in the front for a tube to go into, then make a 90* turn and feed up into the breech. The opaque area would be inside the magazine section.
Add some cosmetic cover-ups along with scopes and whathaveyou and its pretty ar15ish.

A few things:
1.) Is the stock carbonfiber frame the same height as the intelliframe?
If not, you may want to have a small adapter plate for those people who already have and/or want to use the intelliframe.
2.) In this picture from above:
You see how much his wrist is bent in that position, this is why we have the yframe...
On normal rifles, 45* frames make sense because the stock is inline with the gun, making the gun longer, like on the longbow.
If we are trying to design a Tactical Mag around the tighter shooting stance pictured, we might want to re-consider the yframe concept. It was designed for a tight stance, and it definately would be more comfortable than a 45* frame.
depending on how tight of a design we want, a vert frame may be better than a yframe. Maybe even a zframe would work, who knows.
3.) Have you considered the apex barrel?
It would be a nice accessory if a ULE body is used. (cocker threaded) Although it may be a little short and might interfere with the placement/asthetics of the qloader.
maybe if the apex tip was modded onto a 14"/16" (however long is right with the qloader) J&J barrel like here: http://www.mcarterbrown.com/cgi-bin/...play&num=25262

If this thread was not geared toward Scenario/Woodsball, I'd agree that the Y frame would be a good thing to model after. But IMO the Y frame does not lend itself to a proper carrying position ("patrol ready") when participating in scenario play where part of the game is stalking from one area to the next. The Y also goes against the whole tactical theme as well.Originally Posted by FinchMan
IMO - we should not compare the drawings with rifles - but instead draw comparisons to a small "personal Defense Weapon" such as an MP5 style subgun from HK.
In that respect, you would position your wrist as pictured when using the most of close cover.
Another thing to consider is the length and drop of the drop-forward will change your wrist position. In the above picture, I'm using a VERY long drop-forward, I'm also using part of that large pine for cover and keeping my elbows in tight.
Shooters can change there setup easily by opting for a zero-drop or shorter drop-forward. And there's always the option for the shooter to use a stock. While the Y and Z frames are good for comfort they aren't very practical for any position other than upright. A change to the bottle mount will definitely impact hand and wrist position.
For what's it worth, I'm using an Intelliframe in that picture. My shooting style has me using my index finger on the body of the mag and my thumb under the rear of the trigger frame. I pull/fan the trigger with my middle finder and the rest float. I'm not using a full grip on the frame. Most of the support for the marker is in my right hand and the bottle in my shoulder.
Skoad, That's a very interesting mod you're working on. I'll be interested in seeing how it evolves. Are you going to put any type of optic on it? If so, how tall of a riser are you planning on using to get adequate mask clearance?
Excellent points, and intersting things to consider.
Amazing work Skoad. I cant wait to see how it evolves. Your knowledge of the inner working of the mag is impressive, and you are trully pioneering a first. Well done.
I am going ot have to find out is the intelliframe is in fact the same height as the carbon fiber single trigger frame. That would indeed affect the stock adapters.
I read a bit on the Apex. Sounds pretty good IMO. I fugured, if anyone wanted ot use it with the Q loader you can just add a little fitted PVC tube, and paint the whole thing black. People make homemade "silencers" like this, and most of them look excellent. You would just cut it so you could reach the ramping controls. Very easy mod, and looks nice.
Personally, I might be inclined ot put a slightly smaller tube inside the larger outside tube, fill the difference with foam or gauze, and bore holes in the inner tube to displace the discharged gas. This might make it quiter... or so I have read. If people ask, its a dust cover.
Personally, I love the vert type frames. They are not all that expensive either. I am going to ride out the usage of the classic mag/valve/rail for as long as I can tho. After I have exhausted all variations on this marker, I feel I will move up as I personally upgrade my own classic marker.
There is lots more to discuss, but I am gonna sleep for now. Ill leave yawl with a few pics of what I was thinkin about...

A-List Tips for the Best Brows
With the advent of the metrosexual, it is just not enough for a man to roll out of bed, throw on a T-shirt and jeans and head out the door. The well-groomed man keeps his bathroom cabinets stocked with moisturizers, cleansers, exfoliators and even anti-aging creams.
"Keeping your hair and skin in tip-top condition is fundamental to looking good, and will help you stay looking younger for longer," says Natalie Plain, founder of Billion Dollar Brows, "It is commonplace for men to workout at the gym and keep their fitness up in order to stay in shape; taking care of the rest of you is merely an extension of that."
Hollywood's A-list men like Brad Bitt, Robert Pattinson and Jon Hamm are being noticed for more than just their acting chops these days. Perfectly plucked as well as big, bold and bushy, brows are coming into the spotlight. Men are spending more and more time refining their grooming habits, especially when it comes to maintaining their eyebrows. "Before it was all about the beard, all about the goatee, all about the mustache, but the game has changed," says Plain, "Ten years ago you wouldn't have seen a product targeting eyebrows, but now is the time of the eyebrow."
Natalie Plain's Three No Fuss Rules for Bro-Brows
Rule 1: Keep it Natural
A man's brows should look like they've been cleaned up without looking like they're trying too hard. To achieve this, men only need a few simple tools - tweezers, scissors (used in moderation) and maybe a quick dash of brow gel to hold everything in place.
Rule 2: Symmetry
Whether you're a man or a woman, the rules for where an eyebrow should start, arch and end are the same. The Brow Buddy will show men exactly where these spots are and help them achieve a symmetrical brow, without looking too coiffed.
Rule 3: Maintenance
Some men can get away with a brow shaping once every three months. Others need more frequent care, it really depends on how thick their brows are and how fast their hair grows. The most important thing is to avoid the dreaded unibrow.
Billion Dollar Brows' flagship store can be found in Beverly Hills.

Stricken Scout recounts: One violent lightning flashBY DAN SEUFERT
Union Leader Correspondent
June 25. 2013 8:13PM
GILMANTON — Joe Mariano was sitting in a tarp-covered shelter Monday night when he heard and felt a lightning bolt hit a tree about 50 feet away.
Mariano, 15, a Boy Scout from Troop 292 in Hooksett, said he and his fellow scouts at the Daniel Webster Council's Youth Leadership Training at Camp Bell immediately felt the bolt. The electricity traveled to their shelter and even knocked one scout off his feet. Mariano later learned his own foot was burned.
"My foot hurt; it felt really weird," he said from his Hooksett home Tuesday afternoon. "I started having muscle spasms. It was really strange."
He was one of 23 scouts who suffered burns from the lightning, which struck about 7:30 p.m. as a thunderstorm passed over the camp on Manning Lake. Most of the scouts suffered minor burns to their hands and feet. Many did not know for several minutes that they had small red burns on their body that resemble a spider, said Gerard Boyle, the scoutmaster.
The scouts, who have their own radar system at the camp headquarters, were warned of the incoming storms, and took shelter in the tarp-covered areas which dot the camp's grounds, Boyle said. Boyle was in a shelter about 100 yards away from the tree.
"I heard it hit from where I was; it was very loud, but I didn't feel anything," he said.
The scouts and their camp counselors performed as they should have in the emergency, and got some hands-on training in dealing with a crisis, Boyle said.
"We're thrilled with how everyone performed," he said.
Mariano's mother, Ruth, who is one of the leaders of her son's troop, said she suffered "a very short period of abject terror" when she heard about the lightning strike. After calling area hospitals, she found her son in Franklin Regional Hospital.
Mariano was one of six of the 23 considered to have potentially serious injuries. He was treated and held for observation until he was released just after midnight Tuesday.
He has a burn to his left foot that needs daily care this week, so he won't be going back to the camp this year.
"I'll be there next year, though," he said. "I will absolutely go back to scouting and go back there next year."
About 400 scouts from around the state between 12 and 16 are attending the camp each week this summer learning leadership skills, scouting officials said.
Only one scout was expected to be in Concord Hospital by today, said Boyle, a district court judge and former Marine.
There were 31 scouts in the shelter when the storm hit, Boyle said. Four of the camp's vehicles were used to take the 23 who complained of burns to the Belmont Fire Station, where a triage station was set up. Ambulances were called from as far away as Alton and Franklin to take the victims to hospitals in Concord, Franklin, Laconia, Wolfeboro and Plymouth.
"Almost all of them were treated and released (immediately)," Boyle said.
The Griswold scouting reservation is also home to the Hidden Valley Scout Camp; none of the Hidden Valley campers were affected, officials said.

Often times in the midst of your draft, you'll find yourself deciding between a couple players at the same position. With Player Showdowns, we take two players who are closely ranked by Average Draft Position (ADP) and/or Rotoworld's 2013 season projections and have writers take a side and debate who should be selected first. Whose side will you be on?
We'll offer up one Showdown per position (catcher, first base, second base, shortstop, third base, outfield, starter and reliever) here, and you can get dozens more by purchasing the 2013 Rotoworld Baseball Draft Guide. It's an essential weapon to have in your arsenal at the draft table this spring.

Albert Pujols vs. Joey Votto
News that Pujols may not see spring training game action until mid-March has me a little worried about his recovery from offseason knee surgery, but for now at least I'm banking on him returning to elite status. Last year Pujols didn't hit his first homer until May 6 and the shockingly poor start dragged down his season totals, leading to lots of talk that he's in the midst of a significant decline at age 33. However, he hit .305 with 30 homers, 42 doubles, 100 RBIs, and a .934 OPS in his final 127 games. During that time period only Miguel Cabrera and Josh Hamilton drove in more runs. Votto is an amazing hitter and perhaps even better than Pujols, but his incredible on-base skills aren't valued properly in fantasy leagues and from 2010-2012 his per-150 game averages of 28 homers and 97 RBIs are good but not great for the position. Votto also missed one-third of last season with knee problems of his own, so health-wise he's in a similar boat to Pujols. If you're building a real-life lineup I'd probably rather have Votto batting third, but if you're trying to pile up numbers that win fantasy leagues I'd still lean toward Pujols. – Aaron Gleeman (@AaronGleeman)
You can't really go wrong here. Both first basemen are sure-fire first-round picks with the potential to produce astronomical offensive numbers in 2013. But I like Votto more than Pujols because I think the two players are at different stages in their respective careers. Votto is 29 years old and posted an outrageous .337/.474/.567 batting line last season. His batting line was .309/.416/.531 in 2011 and .324/.424/.600 in 2010. Pujols, who is 33 years old and has been on a steady decline for the past five seasons, had a .285/.343/.516 batting line in 2012, a .299/.366/.541 batting line in 2011 and a .312/.414/.596 batting line in 2010. Pujols probably has more raw power than Votto, but the cozy confines of Great American Ball Park could help nullify that. Pujols plays at Angel Stadium, where the marine layer during night games can turn big flies into fly outs. Pujols gets to hit behind Mike Trout and Erick Aybar. But hitting behind Shin-Soo Choo and Brandon Phillips isn't so bad either. – Drew Silva (@drewsilv)

Monta Ellis scored a game-high 27 points to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to a 94-92 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday at Bradley Center.
Brandon Jennings followed with 21 points, while former Sixer Samuel Dalembert posted a double-double with 17 points and 14 rebounds to help the Bucks snap a four-game slide.
Evan Turner led the Sixers with 20 points and Spencer Hawes added 19 points and nine boards for Philadelphia, which has lost two straight and three of its last four heading into the All-Star break.
"It was just one of those nights," said Philadelphia guard Nick Young, who scored 12 of his 14 points in the first quarter. "This win would have felt great. It's disappointing. We'll just try to do our best over this All-Star break to get over it."
Jrue Holiday, who was named to his first career All-Star game earlier this year, finished with 16 points and 12 assists in the setback.
Paced by Young's 12 points, Philadelphia shot a scorching 64.7 percent (11- for-17) in the first frame to build a 28-18 advantage after 12 minutes.
The Sixers led by double-digits for much of the second stanza, but a three- point play from Jennings late in the half cut the margin to 50-43 heading into the locker room.
After Lavoy Allen opened the third with a tip-in, the Bucks used a 14-6 surge to pull within 58-57 on Jennings' 3-pointer with 7:41 left in the frame.
The Sixers answered with eight straight to push the margin back to nine, but a 10-1 Milwaukee run, capped by Mike Dunleavy's layup, knotted the game at 67-67 with just under 2 1/2 minutes left in the third.
"Just playing harder," Jennings said of his team's second-half turnaround. "Our energy was low in the first half. We just got some stops and we just counted on the stops."
Philadelphia was able to build its lead to three, 75-72, heading into the fourth and it remained a one-possession game for the first half of the final frame until Ellis bookended a 9-2 Milwaukee run with a pair of layups to give the Bucks an 89-83 lead with 4:48 remaining.
Back-to-back buckets from Hawes preceded a Turner layup to bring the Sixers within one, 91-90, with two minutes left.
Ellis answered with a layup at the other end, and after the teams exchanged empty possessions, Turner finished a tough layup inside to again bring the Sixers within one with 20.9 ticks remaining.
Ellis then split a pair of free throws with 12.6 seconds left to leave the door open, but Holiday missed a midrange jumper at the other end that would have tied the game.
Holiday and Luc Mbah a Moute got tied up on the rebound to set up a jump ball with five seconds left, but after Holiday won the tip back to Royal Ivey, Ivey's pass was deflected and time expired before anyone could recover the loose ball.
Game Notes
Milwaukee center Larry Sanders missed his fourth straight game with a lower back injury ... The Bucks have won all three meetings with Philadelphia this season ... The Sixers fell to 6-16 on the road ... Philadelphia shot 44.7 percent (34-for-76) from the field, while Milwaukee shot 42 percent (37- for-88) from the floor ... Dalembert was selected 26th overall in the 2001 NBA Draft by the Sixers and spent his first eight seasons in Philadelphia.

ROCKFORD - Long gone are the mobile homes and farm fields on either side of East State Street between Bell School Road and Interstate 90.
In their place have sprouted more than a dozen chain hotels and restaurants, a Van Galder bus terminal and a Road Ranger gas station.
Absent from the east-side gateway are connecting sidewalks and modern infrastructure to allow pedestrians safe passage along and across East State Street, a busy 45-mph thoroughfare.
Nearly 42,000 vehicles travel the intersection each day, according to estimates from Illinois Department of Transportation's 24-hour traffic counts.
A hit-and-run Monday killed Shanghai businessman Weixue Liu, 27, and left his colleague, Zhang Xin, 36, on life support.
Police said Liu, Xin and two others were walking west from the Clock Tower along the north side of East State, where there is no sidewalk, toward another hotel.
Liu and Xin were hit just west of the I-90 overpass by a dark-colored, late '90s to early 2000 model GMC Jimmy SUV. The vehicle did not stop.
Five months ago, Winnebago County Engineer Joe Vanderwerff told the Register Star: "There are a lot of hotels out there, and the restaurants are not always on the same side as the hotels. People are walking across it, and we're concerned about pedestrian safety, particularly for those that visit the area."
The accident underscores a sense of urgency for the city, county and state officials to enhance the intersection.
In addition to turn lanes in all four directions and islands, the $5 million project includes more lighting and handicapped-accessible crosswalks that will connect to sidewalks and a developing recreation path along South Bell School.
"The design plans are 95 percent complete," Assistant County Engineer Wayne Vlk said. "As soon as we get funding, we can start the project."
The county has taken the lead in implementing the project, which is being covered largely with federal money dispersed by the Illinois Department of Transportation.
Winnebago County senior project manager Carlos Molina met Thursday with federal, state and city officials at IDOT's District 2 office in Dixon.
"We've still got quite a bit of work to do," he said. "We're working on Phase 1 engineering."
Molina said the project has grown from $3.5 million as recently as July, partly because of Rockford's request to add street lighting and connecting sidewalks.
"We're waiting to hear back from Springfield regarding federal funds for street lighting," Molina said. "We didn't get that answer today. If the funds are not eligible, the city of Rockford will need to make a decision if they want to pay for it."
Rockford's capital program manager, Pat Zuroske, called Monday's accident "tragic. Our hearts go out to their families."
There were discussions several years ago to create a pedestrian bridge over East State Street on the west side of the I-90 overpass, but the project never came to fruition because of money.
"We are a pay-as-you-go community," Zuroske said. "We're constantly going after safety dollars that IDOT makes available to us."
Before the feds disperse any money, Molina said, they want to see the five-year accident history at East State/Bell School; the report is being compiled.
Molina anticipates that the project will go out to bid in a year, with construction running from spring to fall 2015.

And, that was during the easy half of the schedule.
On Saturday, the Buffaloes (1-5, 1-2 Pac-12) begin a brutal stretch of games by visiting No. 11 Southern California (5-1, 3-1) at the Los Angeles Coliseum.
As of Tuesday, Colorado was a 41-point underdog. It's only the seventh time since the start of the 2007 season that a BCS conference school has been a 40-plus point underdog; it's the fifth time in those seven games that USC has been the favorite.
"I don't really worry about that (point spread), I really don't," CU head coach Jon Embree said Tuesday at his weekly press conference. "It doesn't change how you prepare. You have to go out and prepare and do everything that you would normally. I don't read the papers or any of that stuff, so it doesn't affect me.
"As coaches, we just have to be positive on the field and do a good job of leading them and preparing them and then going out and playing the game."
Saturday's game would appear to be the toughest challenge yet for CU. Southern Cal features a Heisman Trophy candidate at quarterback (Matt Barkley), two all-American candidates at wide receiver (Marqise Lee and Robert Woods), two of the nation's best running backs (Silas Redd and Curtis McNeal) and a postseason award candidate at center (Khaled Holmes). And, that's just the offense.
On defense, the Trojans have safety T.J.
Add in the fact that USC is 56-7 at the Coliseum since 2002 and it's clear the Buffs have a daunting task ahead.
"I want to play the best and they have some of the best guys in the nation," Colorado defensive back Parker Orms said. "Their whole team is NFL guys and I just want to see how I can match up against them.
"I know our guys aren't afraid or anything like that. We're anxious to get out there and see how we can match up with them."
Embree said the point spread could be a motivating factor for the Buffs, but in reality, the only thing that matters is how the team works during the week.
"You have to prepare in a certain way if you're going to go out and win any game," Embree said. "It's important that we have a great practice today. That's all we can control."
To this point, the Buffs have had a disappointing season, but Orms said he and his teammates haven't stopped fighting.
"We have a lot of guys that are discouraged, but we have coaches that have been pushing us every week," he said. "The first half of the season didn't go well, but we have six more games left and you can either try to turn that around or you can just give up."
Embree said as of Tuesday afternoon the Buffs aren't sure of the playing status of safety Ray Polk and running back Christian Powell, who are both battling ankle injuries. Chidera Uzo-Diribe and Doug Rippy should play. ... Linebacker Brady Daigh is doing well after being carted off the field Thursday against Arizona State. Daigh is back practicing with the team. ... USC is 3-1 as a 40-plus point favorite since 2007; the Trojans lost 24-23 to Stanford as a 41-point favorite in 2007. ... USC has won 17 consecutive games in which it was favored by at least 20 points.

This Anti-TarBomb function makes it easy to unpack a .tar.gz without worrying about the possibility that it will "explode" in your current directory. I've usually always created a temporary folder in which I extracted the tarball first, but I got tired of having to reorganize the files afterwards. Just add this function to your .zshrc / .bashrc and use it like this;
atb arch1.tar.gz
and it will create a folder for the extracted files, if they aren't already in a single folder.
This only works for .tar.gz, but it's very easy to edit the function to suit your needs, if you want to extract .tgz, .tar.bz2 or just .tar.
More info about tarbombs at http://www.linfo.org/tarbomb.html
Tested in zsh and bash.
UPDATE: This function works for .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .tgz, .tbz and .tar in zsh (not working in bash):
atb() { l=$(tar tf $1); if [ $(echo "$l" | wc -l) -eq $(echo "$l" | grep $(echo "$l" | head -n1) | wc -l) ]; then tar xf $1; else mkdir ${1%.t(ar.gz||ar.bz2||gz||bz||ar)} && tar xf $1 -C ${1%.t(ar.gz||ar.bz2||gz||bz||ar)}; fi ;}
UPDATE2: From the comments; bepaald came with a variant that works for .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .tgz, .tbz and .tar in bash:
atb() {shopt -s extglob ; l=$(tar tf $1); if [ $(echo "$l" | wc -l) -eq $(echo "$l" | grep $(echo "$l" | head -n1) | wc -l) ]; then tar xf $1; else mkdir ${1%.t@(ar.gz|ar.bz2|gz|bz|ar)} && tar xf $1 -C ${1%.t@(ar.gz|ar.bz2|gz|bz|ar)}; fi ; shopt -u extglob}

first off, if you just want a random UUID, here's the actual command to use:
Your chances of finding a duplicate after running this nonstop for a year are about the same as being hit by a meteorite before finishing this sentence
The reason for the command I have is that it's more provably unique than the one that uuidgen creates. uuidgen creates a random one by default, or an unencrypted one based on time and network address if you give it the -t option.
Mine uses the mac address of the ethernet interface, the process id of the caller, and the system time down to nanosecond resolution, which is provably unique over all computers past, present, and future, subject to collisions in the cryptographic hash used, and the uniqueness of your mac address.
Warning: feel free to experiment, but be warned that the stdin of the hash is binary data at that point, which may mess up your terminal if you don't pipe it into something. If it does mess up though, just type

using tail first won't do it because tail counts from the bottom of the file. You could do it this way but I don't suggest it

NHS wonderland part 2 – peeing in a pot for 24 hoursJuly 9, 2012 at 9:36 pm | Posted in Me, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) | 3 Comments
Tags: arthritis, doctor, hormones, hospital, hot flushes, NHS, night sweats, RA, red cheeks, Rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), rheumatology, rosacea, urine sample
Well, I went for my x-rays – appointment booked half an hour before the dermatology appointment, and it all fitted in fine – I had about fifteen minutes to find the dermatology department once the x-rays were over, and I found it without any problem. All going rather well so far.
Then I waited … and waited … and waited … and waited – but that's just the way it is. Fortunately I'd remembered to take a good book!
Dermatology lady said she's fairly sure I haven't got lupus (hurrah) but I have got rosacea (boo). Unfortunately I've been applying gunk to my face for nearly five months now and it's not going away at all, so the obvious solution seems to be 'try it a bit longer, and in the meantime we'll discharge you'. Hmm … thanks a bunch!
Having said that, she was very pleasant, really took her time, asked sensible questions and listened to the answers. For that, I don't mind waiting a bit!
One of the things she asked was, 'Do you get night sweats?' to which the only possible response was, 'Do I get night sweats! You bet!' So we talked about the whole 'early menopause' thing and the fact that although it started 5 years ago I didn't seem to actually have gone through menopause and the hormones had never actually been fully investigated.
And that led to the delights involved in the title to this post. 'I think we should test your hormone levels,' she said, ' but I'm afraid the test is a bit long-winded. It involves a 24-hour urine sample.' I couldn't resist the obvious response. 'I can't pee for that long!' Poor lady must have heard that one a few times before but she was very patient with me!
I have to keep all urine I produce over a 24-hour period and put it in a LARGE sample bottle, which I had to collect from the labs in a beautiful LARGE bag with things like, 'Biohazard' and 'warning – dangerous substance' stamped all over it, as it contains hydrochloric acid to preserve the sample, once the sample is in there. Luckily I had brought a bag for my book and other bits so I just put it inside that – otherwise slightly embarrassing to walk around with.
I haven't done this test yet as she wisely suggested waiting for a day where I could stay in the house for 24 hours, and there aren't many of those, but I'm planning to do it soon. Once done, and I'll finish my 24 hours at 8 0'clock one morning, I have to jump in the car, dash over to the hospital, deliver the sample 'for immediate testing' and then dash up to the top of the hospital for a blood test – which should take place straight after the sample is finished – a bit tricky since I live 30 mins or so from the hospital! Never mind – hopefully it's not THAT critical.
If anything comes out positive/negative/worrying about this test, that'll mean further referrals etc. as it's hardly a dermatology issue. It'll be interesting to find out either way though, as the hot flushes and night sweats are horrendous at the moment and if there is something hormonal going on as shouldn't be, it would be nice to know!
In the meantime I shall continue to be a 'ruddy cheeked penguin' – a rare breed indeed.

Edward Clark replaces Sam Houston as Governor of Texas
March 16, 1861
Edward Clark replaces Sam Houston as Governor of Texas.
When Texas left the Union in February 1861, Governor Sam Houston refused to take the loyalty oath to the Confederacy. He was removed from office and the Office of Governor was declared vacant. Lieutenant Governor Edward Clark was promoted to Goveror of Texas on March 16, 1861. Clark held the office until November 7, 1861.

CANANDAIGUA � �Be careful on the stairs,� newly elected Ward 2 Councilman Ian Boni said as he walked into a home on 39 Phoenix St.
The staircase is missing a few steps, and the rest of the house is in similar shape. The walls upstairs are mostly green, with a few streaks of a color Boni described as �jekyll crane cottage yellow.� The walls and floors need replacing, and abandoned furniture from the past tenant remains upstairs.
It�s a work in progress for the property owner.
And while Boni and friends have been renovating the house, he�s not stopping there. The plan is to make over a larger segment of Phoenix Street.
Boni � who lives on Phoenix Street with his wife and daughter � began buying houses on the street in 2007. He now owns eight parcels between Lafayette Avenue and Pleasant Street. His goal is simple: To make his home a nicer place � one where constant police presence isn�t required.
�We�re upping everything in that neighborhood,� Boni said. �We want to bring new homeownership to Ward 2, fix some of the blighted properties and make it a thriving place of the city.�
Bad reputation
William and Evelyn Freeland have lived on Phoenix Street � east of Pleasant Street � since the 1970s and they said it isn�t surprising to see sirens on the street.
�If it weren�t for Phoenix Street, the police wouldn�t have anything to do,� Evelyn said following the late September arrest of Rodney Bice, 42. The Phoenix Street resident was charged with second-degree murder for his alleged involvement in the 1998 murder of his girlfriend, Jacqueline �Jackie� Sheehan, in Seminole County, Fla.
The area west of Lafayette, toward Main Street, has also had a less than stellar reputation. In the 1960s it was dubbed �Blood Alley� because of the frequent brawls outside Phoenix Street bars, recalled Pete Kennedy of Rochester. His father, T. Hamilton Kennedy, was the Canandaigua mayor during that era.
It�s still a spot that police focus on, said Canandaigua Police Sgt. Scott Kadien.
�People call it �Blood Alley,� but Phoenix Street is where we have more of our alcohol-related issues,� Kadien said. �It�s really just geography. You have three busy bars there with a lot of people. You add alcohol to the mix and there�s going to be issues. That�s not the bar�s fault; their staff has done a good job working hand-in-hand with us. � But we can�t stop everything.�
A new look
While he only owns property on a small segment of Phoenix Street, Boni is hoping he can use his position as Ward 2 councilman to put a bandage on the Blood Alley reputation. In the meantime, he�s concentrating on renovating the homes he owns and bringing in tenants�who won�t cause trouble.
�When we moved [to Phoenix Street], police were there all the time. It was a struggle to work with tenants,� Boni said. �We definitely don�t have police on my section of the road.�
Boni said one of the reasons for the culture change was because he didn�t like his neighbors, and he certainly didn�t like the trouble they would get into. Tenants would treat the housing like motels, he said. They would move from one apartment to another after only a few weeks or months � it wasn�t an ideal situation.
Once he began purchasing properties � many that were previously in foreclosure � Boni decided to continue that trend, and buy all but two parcels between Lafayette and Pleasant.
When a tenant moves out, Boni and his team take over. They go into the apartments and revamp them � just as the group recently did at 39 Phoenix St. This work includes new roofing, floors, walls, paint, and more. Boni � who owns Mitchell Realty Group in Canandaigua � recruited friends to help him with the remodeling work.
�What you think is going to be a simple project turns out to be a lot more,� said Andy Gailey of Geneva.
Gailey has been friends with Boni since 2000 and has helped him with the renovations. The Geneva resident also recently bought some property where he lives � and like Boni � he is looking to remodel the properties.
Fresh ideas
While Boni has concentrated on improving the interior of his properties, he also�is striving�to keep the outside looking fresh as well. Recently, he offered tenants $50 credit off rent for maintaining a flower bed outside.
�When people drive down the street, they see the gardens,� said Angela Witty, a friend of Boni�s and a tenant who took advantage of the program. �It makes the area more family-friendly.�
Witty has previously lived on Bristol and Charlotte streets, and said she�s observed less arrest activity on this segment of Phoenix Street than in those other areas.
�It helps that he lives here, and has a family of his own,� Witty added.
Despite the improvements � and all that he has learned since first becoming a landlord in 2005, with property in Rochester�s South Wedge � Boni recognizes there is still work to be done. He would like to extend his efforts to other sections of the street, but this task has challenges as well.
�It�ll be a tough thing to do without having active participation by all the landlords,� Boni said. He added that this is one reason why he�s seeking to get involved with the Canandaigua Landlords Association (CLASS).
The legend of �Blood Alley�
During his tenure as mayor from 1964-1978, the late T. Hamilton Kennedy had a legendary run-in on Phoenix Street, said his son, radio personality Pete �The Mayor� Kennedy.
�He had all sorts of problems there at various bars. The VA guys would spend time there, and whoop it up,� Kennedy said. �He mobilized the police departments, closed the bars, got them all in the street, and with a bullhorn said, �We�re taking back control of Phoenix Street, the days of Blood Alley are over.�
�The legend of �Blood Alley� began from there.�

Better to order now while our supplies last. We only brought in a select number of each size for this limited offer by Venomous Designs
If there are any left, you can add it to my Noxious body order.

Hopefully people will keep their cool and realize that no amount of outrage, violence, trashing business, looting or rioting will bring Oscar Grant back. It will only hurt Oakland and make people look disfavorably on the people of Oakland.
We don't really know for sure what went through Mehserle's mind the instant he pulled the gun instead of the Taser. He has to live with what he did no matter how much time he serves. A longer sentence will not change or fix anything--it would just be revenge and that's not what justice is supposed to be about.

The rabble will be happy of course but this time they appear to have a good reason. I saw that video. Not OK.

#7 Nov 5, 2010
"A longer sentence will not change or fix anything--it would just be revenge and that's not what justice is supposed to be about."
Really, a "2 years sentence" for taking a life is NOT Justice period! I wonder how the judge or a jury member would feel if this had happen to a family member...How would you feel? It's not justice period.
#8 Nov 5, 2010
The family of the man who was shot deserves a settlement for several million dollars. The Oakland Subway Police Department failed to properly train this police officer
Now, let's talk about the criminal side of things...
Although this police officer and his department were negligent and caused the death of this man, there was no CRIMINAL intent to intentionally kill this man. He was poorly trained and in a panic. He intended to reach for his "tazer" and grabbed his gun instead.
I am not saying he should have not been allowed to carry a tazer, but if he had never been issued a tazer, would he have shot this man? NO
This was not a murder. This was a very unfortunate accident. He was given two years to keep the Black community from rioting.
Now we have created a second victim
#9 Nov 5, 2010
If I had just heard of this story today, I would be astounded to learn that a man who kills a mostly defenseless man right in front of him could get as little as a two-year sentence.
On the contrary, Wild Irish Rose, a longer sentence would help -- killing a person comes with consequences, and yet two-year sentence just makes killing seem inconsequential. It's a poor precedent for future similar incidents.

It is what it is. The jury dropped the more extreme charges which led to the open sentence. Probation up to 14 years. He got 2. WE, US, a jury of our peers made the ultimate decision. Justice.
#12 Nov 5, 2010
That was the best post i have read all week. I give a few smart alek replys and a few pieces of advice. But this hit the nail on the head. Thanks.

Please do not hold the "Black community" responsible for the riots in Oakland. It was a multiracial crowd, including many out-of-town radical types, taking out their anger on buildings and businesses unrelated to the killing. And it was despicable.
And please do not describe the two-year sentence as some kind of appeasement to the "Black community," just to keep them from rioting. The sentence is punishment for Mehserle, and weak punishment at that.
And Mehserle is no victim. He did this to himself.

This is total BS they already convicted him of manslaughter that was a slap in the face to the Grant family then they want to give him 2 years with credit to time already served so he will be out in a few months or less. How are we expected to respect the law when the people who enforce the law give each other breaks he shot that man in cold blood he how can a trained police officer not tell the difference between a loaded gun and a bright yellow taser gun! Get out of here and close the door and go out the back door

I don't know about anyone else, but If I accidentally killed or cause harm to someone... the one thing that would not be in question is how remorseful I am. This cat has played the victim throughout this journey (and noted, with the support of many, including the media "bay-area KTVU Rita Williams" gave him air time). At least he should have maned up and sincerely express his remorsefulness, if indeed he is.

It is disgusting when hard working officers are sentenced to jail for fighting criminals.

That's a convenient excuse for a lenient sentence because he's a pig. No other way to explain it!

They should lock his ass up and throw away the key-but as usual,they let the police off with a slap on the wrist. This happens EVERYWHERE,and to all races and it is bullshit.

And who was the criminal you say Mehserle was fighting?
I'm sorry, but the prescribed penalty for fighting on a BART platform is not instant death.
