So far, no one has ever donated a button to the Book Fair that says "Kiss Me, I'm Irish!" But we do get what are known in the trade as "pinbacks". These are fun to look at, but perilous indeed to browse through. You'd never guess it, but pinbacks have pins on their backs.
Political buttons galore come through, from what I am still convinced was an original Woodrow Wilson to that Obama for U.S. Senate pin we saw recently. I've never known which is more collectible really: the folks who make it or the folks who had their day in the sun and then disappeared. (Someday I'll tell you the sad story of the pins I bought specifically because I KNEW the candidate didn't have a chance, and I felt his election stuff might be good for a laugh some day. Hey, in 1976, it was obvious that Ronald Reagan was too old to try again.)
Advertising pins are more reliable. Everybody needs a Spuds MacKenzie or a Morton Salt Girl pin. I can't imagine why no one sends me any of those old Chicago Tribune buttons from the days when they REALLY had the "World's Greatest Comics": the ones with pictures of Dick Tracy and Little Orphan Annie and Andy Gump, and the rest of that clan. And they appeal to buyers from all political parties.
Buttons with goofy slogans are good for a buck or too as well. Believe it or not, there are still people who wear a cap that they have crammed to clattering with pins like: "Mutants for Nuclear Energy" or "My Other Car is a Bike" or "Don't Just Do Something; Stand There!"
The Book Fair itself has sometimes indulged in buttons. There was the year all of us shift bosses wore "ASK ME" buttons, some of which were decorated with scratch-and-sniff dill pickle stickers, in honor of the Dill Pickle Award given at Bughouse Square. (Don't ask; the company went out of business or we could have sold thousands of those stickers.) One year our sponsor gave us buttons that dared people to "Get Caught Reading". I myself produced buttons for quick and easy money, one in honor of the Sherlock Holmes exhibit (great idea, but they were delivered the day after the grand opening) and one for true Christmas shoppers at the Very Merry Bazaar. Dedicated to every Scrooge in the crowd, it urged "Just Say Humbug!" Couldn't sell it. People would pick it up and say, "My brother would love this…but I shouldn't encourage him." Did I ever tell you about easy money? It ain't easy; usually, it ain't money, too.
Hey! What happened? This was supposed to be an Irish blog in honor of St. Patrick's Day, and it turned into a discussion of pinback doodads. We get lots of doodaddery, of course. Last year, we had one of those papier-mache rocks you're supposed to hide your spare keys in and then leave it around where no one will notice.
What's that got to do with anything? Well, it's a sham rock.

Members of five Rotary Clubs in Kentucky drove 12 hours to Gordon Cooper Technology Center in Shawnee Friday with a charter bus and school bus full of donations for volunteers and those affected by the May 19 tornado.
Members of five Rotary Clubs in Kentucky drove 12 hours to Gordon Cooper Technology Center in Shawnee Friday with a charter bus and school bus full of donations for volunteers and those affected by the May 19 tornado.
Rotary Club members from Murray, Mayfield, Fulton, Hickman and Paducah, Ky. gathered up 30,000 pounds of items and $4,000 to donate. Travis said along with the funds the group brought down today, they also have received donations from Oakland and Palm Beach to be delivered at a later date.
Keith Travis, Murray Rotary Club member, said they began making donations after natural disasters when Joplin, Mo. was hit. After that, the group made donations in New York after Hurricane Sandy.
"In January we started pre-planning and started to stock pile goods," Travis said.
He said usually the group uses trucks to deliver goods, but because they had so many donations, they chose to drive down two busses full. Because after some disasters, there is a lot of un-organization and confusion, Travis said he and the group tried to make sure all of the goods were organized and limited donations to about 10 item categories which included items such as water, toiletries and toys.
Travis said he had to ask another volunteer, Bob Mobley, to take turns driving with George Baird and two other drivers just last night because they had so much to bring.
Baird, who works for Murray Calloway Transit, said he just wanted to be able to help. He is planning on making another trip down as soon as possible with resources for animals in need.
"Most people think about humans, but forget about the animals. They need help too," he said.
The group left Kentucky at 3 a.m. and left as soon as the goods were unloaded to make the 12-hour drive back. With them they brought a paramedic who was headed to Moore to help and an ex-marine, Michael Shaffer, who plans on staying as long as he can to help where needed.
"I just got the impulse to help out," Shaffer said.
When the busses pulled up to unload, several members of Shawnee Rotary Club, along with Shawnee mayor and police chief, stepped up to lend a hand.
Mayor Wes Mainord, who was emotional, said people want to help so much and several people have been turned away for now. He said it's disheartening to tell them to 'just hold on.'
He said although Shawnee has had so many people donate that they're trying to find places for everything, it is incredible that people from all over the country have been calling him asking how they can help. He said people are doing tremendous things and Oklahomans are great, but it's not just them, it's everyone in the country.
"All you have to do is see things like this and it restores your faith in this country and in Americans," Mainord said.
Police Chief Russell Frantz said the volunteer spirit is amazing.
"It's great that there's such an outpouring from people across the country," he said.
Don Lynch, Shawnee/Pottawatomie County Emergency Management Director, said he is very appreciative of all the incredible support. He said the donations from Kentucky would go to help workers and people who have been affected.
"People are just giving beyond generously. I can't say thank you enough," Lynch said.
Rotary District 5770 Governor Elect, Terry Godfrey, said the donations are great and there are a lot of volunteers. Godfrey works for an electric company and has been working around the clock to help in several different areas. He said he broke loose from work to come over and help with donations.
Tony McMurry, a Shawnee Rotary Club board member, said he thinks the donations and volunteers are fabulous and unbelievable. He was known around the group as the man who organized the whole thing with members from Kentucky, but McMurray said Kentucky members had everything completely organized and they just emailed him for where and when to bring things.
"It makes you proud to be a Rotarian," McMurry said.

LOWELL -- A 26-year-old Lowell man with a record of child abuse in Minnesota was ordered held on $500,000 cash bail after police allege he broke the back and ribs of his girlfriend's 2-year-old daughter and may have caused her brain damage.
In Lowell Superior Court Monday, Bunthang Ponn, formerly of 18 Walnut St., pleaded not guilty to two counts of assault and battery on a child with substantial injury, and three counts of assault and battery on a child with injury.
Judge Heidi Brieger ordered Ponn held on $500,000 cash bail pending a dangerousness hearing Feb. 5.
During Ponn's district court arraignment last month, prosecutor Kate Cimini described the case as "extremely troubling" due to the violent and serious assault against the 2-year-old child.
Ponn was arrested by Lowell police on Dec. 6 as a result of an investigation into an incident on Nov. 30. On that day the girl was rushed to Lowell General Hospital suffering from what was believed to be a massive stroke associated with brain swelling and she couldn't walk.
Ponn had been taking care of her, Cimini said, and allegedly told his girlfriend the child had fallen out of a high chair and began to shake, Cimini said. Ponn is not the child's biological father.
The child was immediately transferred to Boston Children's Hospital, where she remains hospitalized. Doctors there discovered she had five or six fractured vertebrae, three fractured ribs and swelling of the brain, Cimini said, as well as bruises on her arms, back, chin and neck.
Doctors said healing marks on the child's buttocks, which Ponn allegedly indicated were "diaper rash," were consistent with burns, Cimini said. Preliminary medical results indicated the child suffered "significant" injuries to her head, Cimini said.
Doctors at Children's Hospital indicated the child's head trauma is not consistent with a fall from a chair, but with abusive head trauma from being shaken, Cimini said.
When Lowell police arrested Ponn, he denied ever being left alone with the little girl, but admitted he did babysit her, as well as his sister's children, Cimini said.

He came into my feedbck thread even thought we never dealt before. He has offered me his knee pads + $150 cash for my tank. I said ok and he said he needed a few days to get the cash. I said sure. So the day comes and I ask him do you have the money yet. He says go away I found a better deal, I said whatever. Like 2 months later he get's in my thread and said that garbage. I never backed out. He did. Don't deal with dirty people like this. Everyone knows I don't back out on a deal. If I ever did back out I always went back and got what I originally said I would buy. I never posted that much when I talked to him about the tank. I just recently started posting in there. I never even talk to him in Friendly Corner. We talked on AIM a few times. He was the one that backed out. He didn't bother to PM me or Email me at all.Originally posted by UltimatePaintballer
was going to sell me a tank. then right when i was about to send out the money, he said nah i don't want to sell it. good thing i didn't send the money the only way of communication was in his posts in friendly corner cause we all know he's going to have the latest post in there

We had a BLAST yesterday at Arrowhead, even though the Chiefs lost...there were by far more positives for me with attending the game beyond winning or losing. Such as tailgating and creating memories with awesome Chiefs friends, witnessing DT's jersey #58 be retired officially, and so on. Most games come & go, but moments like those mentioned above are the truely priceless moments at Arrowhead. :)
I enjoyed seeing & tailgating with YZILLA again, and meeting his adorable sons this time round. They have YZILLA's wonderful & outgoing personality! No doubt are just as diehard Chiefs fans as their dad too! YAY!!
It was awesome meeting Tammietailgator & her hubby! She's as pretty and as sweet as she can be. It's nice to converse with someone who understands seizure disorders in dogs too, such as Tammie does...and of which my Springer Spaniel 'Lily' suffers from. I think Tammie and I have much in common!
Canada...well, hahaha...he's one of those people that from the first minute you meet him, it's as if you've known him all your life. Canada is awesome, and his sense of humor of course is priceless. It was a pleasure to meet him in person and party with him and his Canadian friends. I had so much fun! I wish I could attend the Buffalo game this coming Sunday...to tailgate again, since Canada may not be back till next year...& I already know I'm gonna miss seeing him!
However, Christmas for the grandkids is a priority over gas & another Chiefs game ticket for grandma, haha.
My friend Kelly from Wisconsin had a great time too, and told me that everyone from Chiefs Crowd we tailgated with are awesome people. He'd tailgate every home game too if he could, haha. He's actually been a member of Chiefs Crowd for a couple yrs., but has yet to participate. Maybe someday he'll not be shy about posting, I can hope anyway, hahaha.
I forgot to take my camera inside the stadium, so no game pics. However, I do have these from tailgating below. We all went back to Canada's hotel room after the game, partied some more. Met even more people there who were really cool & fun too. I didn't want to leave as early as I did, but the weather turned bad & I had a 1 1/2 hr drive home. It began snowing heavy 1/2 hr into my drive, and the remaining hour turned into 2!! The visibility was poor & slowed most everyone down.
I was relieved to get home, as driving in heavy snow falling and darkness on two lane country hwys isn't fun at all, haha. I love snow falling as long as I'm inside all snuggled up on the sofa, not in a drivers seat, hahaha.
Chiefs Crowd members are simply the best of the best...and I'm honored to be included...enough said! YEEHAW!
This is Canada and his friends walking to where we were tailgating at, from their hotel across from Arrowhead:
Canada and friends showing their Canadian pride at Arrowhead! hahaha
YZILLA's youngest son and his rival friend having a 'all in good fun' battle over who's team would win the game, haha:

The hot seat
Many league observers believe both Edwards and general manager Carl Peterson are on the hot seat. If Peterson, who has been the Chiefs' general manager since 1989, is, so is Edwards. The two are close and are a package deal. Also, whenever a new GM is brought in, the existing coach is often in trouble.
But are Peterson and Edwards really in trouble? The Chiefs did a good job drafting and this is a young roster. Miracles aren't expected. It says here that both Peterson and Edwards will be safe unless absolutely zero progress is made this season. But the whispers are out there and the job security of the GM and coach will be a major theme as the Chiefs head to training camp, fair or not

Parramatta have produced their best defensive display of the season and moved to three points out of the top eight with a convincing 30 points to nil victory over the Cronulla Sharks.
In the second shut out match of the round, Parramatta showed steeley resolve on their goal line, withstanding multiple sets on their own line and continually frustrating the Sharks attack into forcing the ball, more often than not resulting in an error.
In and around the fantastic defensive effort, the Eels also put on a great attacking display, with star fullback Jarryd Hayne featuring heavily, as did rookie halves Jeff Robson and Daniel Mortimer.
The Eels' first try came off a Hayne bust and Mortimer kick resulting in a goal line dropout, with Joel Reddy showing great strength to plant the ball down on the line in the corner before going over the line in the sixth minute.
The Eels were over again in the 25th minute, however referee Bernard Sutton had his doubts and video replays proved that Krisnan Inu had knocked the ball forward into Luke Burt on his way to the line.
Ten minutes later and there was no denying Hayne, who caught the markers sleeping on the goal line, diving over from dummy half for the simplest of tries to take the Eels into half time with a lead of ten points to nil.
The Sharks came out firing in the second half, with returning captain Paul Gallen featuring heavily in the opening set as the Sharks went 80 metres and close to scoring to get them back into the match.
It wasn't to be, though, as the Eels extended their lead in the 44th after Burt received a fortuitous bounce off a kick and passed back inside for Inu to cross over under the posts.
Cronulla continued to threaten, however when down in Parramattas red zone found themselves unable to break through the blue and gold brick wall, and instead continuously tried to go around, but to no avail.
Hayne sealed the victory for the visitors with a simple hit and spin move in the 61st, before Reddy completed his brace seven out from full time following a long bust from, you guessed it, Hayne.
Todays victory sees the Eels move to 21 points, three away from an unlikely top eight position, while the Sharks remain entrenched in their battle with the Roosters to avoid the wooden spoon, saved for now by their superior for and against.

Good afternoon and welcome to Toyota Park for todays clash between the Cronulla Sharks and the Parramatta Eels.
Both of these teams went into season 09 with high hopes and expectations, however come into round 21 sitting at 15th and 12th respectively on the ladder. The Sharks are all but out of finals contention, and will be playing to avoid the dreaded wooden spoon, which they are currently in a dogfight with the Roosters for. The Eels, having started the season poorly, have strung some very convincing games together lately, with Jarryd Hayne and Fuifui Moimoi featuring heavily in their revival, and are only a couple of wins out of the top eight.
Team changes are as follows: Sharks: Johnny Mannah has been ruled out. Luke Douglass pushes up to prop from second row and Paul Gallen makes his return in number 18. Eels: The Eels are as per programme, one through seventeen.
SHARKS: 1. Nathan Stapleton 2. Blake Ferguson 3. Ben Pomeroy 4. Matthew Wright 5. Luke Covell 6. Blake Green 7. Scott Porter 8. Kade Snowden 9. Corey Hughes 11. Luke Douglas 18. Paul Gallen 12. Grant Millington 13. Reece Williams Interchange: 14. Jack Afamasaga 15. Bryan Norrie 16. Mitch Brown 17. Terence Seu Seu EELS: 1. Jarryd Hayne 2. Luke Burt 3. Krisnan Inu 4. Joel Reddy 5. Eric Grothe 6. Daniel Mortimer 7. Jeff Robson 8. Nathan Cayless 9. Matt Keating 10. Fuifui Moimoi 11. Nathan Hindmarsh 12. Joe Galuvao 13. Todd Lowrie Interchange: 14. Kevin Kingston 15. Broderick Wright 16. Ben Smith 17. Tim Mannah
Stay tuned here on LeagueUnlimited.com, as kickoff is just moments away!
0 min: Jared Maxwell blows time on and we're underway!
1 min: One minute in and so far the match has resembled a game of Union, with both teams kicking very early in their sets.
2 min: Another early kick from the Eels, with Robson kicking for the line but the ball trickles over the dead ball line.
5 min: Eels run it on the last, with Hayne splitting the Sharks open, before finding Mortimer who kicks for the in-goal and earns his team a repeat set.
6 min: VIDEO REF - Possible Eels Try... Reddy looks to have scored in the corner...just checking touch line.
6 min: TRY Parramatta Eels Grothe offloads to Reddy, who shows a great amount of strength to place the ball down on the line before going into touch. Conversion attempt by Luke Burt unsuccessful. Parramatta Eels 4-0
11 min: Reece Williams has copped a heavy knock in a tackle and is being assisted from the field. It looks doubtful that he'll be back today.
13 min: Millington charged down Mortimers kick, which was then regathered by Lowrie, giving the Eels a fresh set starting on halfway.
14 min: PENALTY - Sharks: Robson put in a little banana kick towards the in-goal, but Cayless has been ruled offside.
17 min: Porter attempts a little chip over the line, but Hindmarsh is there to regether and make a little half break before being taken down.
18 min: PENALTY - Eels: Cronulla hold down too long in the tackle, and the Eels have a fresh set inside the Sharks red zone.
19 min: An early grubber by Robson is grounded in goal by Stapleton. Back to back sets for the Eels.
20 min: A terrible pass from Inu leaves Hindmarsh with the ball on the last, forcing him to kick to the corner where it is easily collected by Ferguson.
21 min: 40/20 - Sharks: Blake Green puts his team in great position to get on the scoreboard with a lovely kick.
23 min: Cronulla fail to capitalise on their great field position, going too far side to side before a poor kick from Stapleton trickles into Hindmarsh's hands.
24 min: PENALTY - Eels: To add insult to injury the Sharks have now been penalised for being offside.
25 min: VIDEO REF - Possible Eels Try... Burt has run over behind the posts for a try, just checking to see if Inu has touched the ball forward.

31 min: Keating made a half break then passed back inside to Hayne who was unable to take the ball. Scrum Sharks on their 40 metre line

37 min: PENALTY - Eels: Sharks have stripped the ball with two in the tackle, and Parramatta will get one last chance to get over the line before half time.
38 min: Burt has crossed in the corner, but the pass from Inu has been ruled forward.
HALF TIME It's half time here at Shark Park, where the visiting Eels lead the home side by 10 points to nil. While the Eels have enjoyed the majority of field position and possession, the Sharks have had their chances to get on the board, only to be let down by poor handling or poor options in attack. There's still plenty of time left in this match, however at this point it looks as though an Eels victory is the best bet. Stay tuned, the second half isn't too far away!
40 min: And we're back underway!
41 min: The Sharks look to have come out firing, with some enterprising second phase play getting them down to the Parramatta ten on their first set of the second half.
43 min: A great clearing kick from Porter turned into a horrible was as the ball come down on the Parramatta twenty but then continued to roll well over the dead ball line.
44 min: TRY Parramatta Eels The Sharks have now been burnt by two kicks in a row, this time when Keating's kick from dummy half bounced up on it's point and into the arms of Burt, who flicked it back inside to Inu who strolled over for the try. Conversion attempt by Luke Burt successful. Parramatta Eels 16-0
49 min: Porter dribbled the ball behind the line for himself however it has been collected by Mortimer to get the Eels out of trouble as the Sharks have been looking dangerous.
51 min: Cronulla had a great chance on the right hand side, however Afamasaga's pass goes behind Covell, causing the play to break down.
53 min: Porter chips early to the wing for Wright, however the ball bounces back into the hands of Millington who immediately kicks ahead where the ball is collected and grounded in-goal by Hindmarsh. Goal line dropout.
54 min: Cronulla had received another set following a strip by the Eels, however one play later Snowden tried to force the pass, handing it back to the Eels.
56 min: PENALTY - Sharks: Parramatta guilty of trying to slow the play the ball down, and the Sharks will get yet another look at Parramattas red zone.
57 min: Hughes dribbles the kick through on the last and Lowrie knocks on in attempting to gather it up. Scrum Sharks.
58 min: Once again, Cronulla try to force the pass and once again it ends up in the hands of the Eels.

Parramatta Eels 24-0
68 min: Green runs the ball on the last but is brought down by Galuvao just metres out from the line.
70 min: Burt scoots past a limping Porter and races downfield before kicking for Grothe who is beaten to the ball by Ferguson.
71 min: VIDEO REF - Possible Eels Try... Kingston has crossed over, just checking for grounding and obstruction.
71 min: NO TRY - Penalty Sharks: Moimoi has run alongside Kingston and taken out at least two (and possibly more) defenders at the line, resulting in an obvious penalty.
73 min: TRY Parramatta Eels An errant offload inside their own twenty has proved fortuitous as Hayne collected the ball and ran straight through the staggered Sharks defensive line, racing 60 metres before finding Inu, who found Hayne on the wrap-around and was eventually taken down 10 out from the Sharks line. On the ensuing play the Eels went from sideline to sideline for Reddy to grab his double. Conversion attempt by Luke Burt successful. Parramatta Eels 30-0
FULL TIME It's full time here at Toyota Park, where the Parramatta Eels have shut out the home team to the tune of 30 points to nil.

Sorry ladies if i've been lagging a few days on posts, I know some of you had questions on past posts so I will try and answer them this week. Last week was super busy catching up with family from San Francisco and Canada- all were here to celebrate my sister's bday which was just absolutely amazing! It was beautiful and a lot better than when I had my 18th birthday and she of course was STUNNING. (Uh hello her big sis did her makeup! LOL)
My mom saw my sister then wanted me to do her makeup too! So I did hers, and my little sister's as well and they looked glam and ready to party! In a nutshell, the products I used on my sis to match her dress were MAC's "Parfait Amour", MUFE's infamous purple eyeshadow, and NYX "Black". For her lips, I used "Lavender Whip". On my mom, since her dress was gold, I used MAC e/s in "Goldmine", a mix of browns like "Mulch" and Milani's "Java Bean", and a few browns from last year's Smokey Eyes palette. I warmed up her complexion with MAC Blush in "Warm Soul", and brought out here eyes with Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner, Revlon Fantasy Lengths eyelashes, and adorned her lips with MAC's "Creme de Nude" cremesheen lipstick.
It was nice to see family I haven't seen in awhile, esp. ever since my parents moved to Washington, it's been hard keeping in touch with everyone. All the cousins and kids of course are so much older now since it's been years since we've seen some of them, and we GREW UP with most of them so it was nice to see the people they've become. The father-daughter dance made me tear up, as my dad and sis danced to Celine Dion's "Because You Loved Me". And my sister cried when she said her speech as she wished that my other grandma was here to celebrate with her who passed last year.
The BF and his family also joined in the fun, and my feet were killing me at the end of the night running back and forth taking pictures of everyone, but it was such a great party and most importantly, my sister had the best time of her life and with her childhood friends. Her "friend" and escort Norman, had a surprise speech which was so sweet and romantic, they've known each other since they were 7 years old- and my dad almost had a heart attack because his other daughter, who seemed like a baby just yesterday- now has a BF of her own. LOL...awwww!
Anyway here are a few pics from the party, we also took studio pics the day after since mom said we had to "update" the one at her house (last time me and my sis took pics we were all little kids) so the parentals were happy campers. :)
Almost done...

And i can't help notcing the age differences between the sisters is very big! (not hinting anything!) i think that's really cool! A big age gap is good for children I think as the elder one will really look after the younger and the younger ones look up to their elder siblings. Less flights and etc.
my son is 5 and often fights with his cousin of 3 year old! grr...
and a family of all girls is so much fun!

I'm an atheist quaker
My name is Pam and I'm checking it out here, as Traveller suggested it when I expressed frustration with "Is God Imaginary?" - I hung out there for a few weeks, but found that topics seemed to either die, get too mean, or get too silly rather than ever going somewhere interesting in a civil, intelligent manner. That might just be the nature of the internet though, who knows?
Seriously, you guys are the meanest people I have ever met. I hope you are happy and feel really good about yourself.
Quakers have a funny distinction here in the US. Thy were the first abolitionists of slavery and sparked a great idea, so they get a +1, but then they went and ruined it by reversing course for many years, basically until the civil war. -1
[WWGHA is proud to offer you a Maggie-free environment ™]
Welcome! We are an odd bunch. Enough said.
reversing course? I hadn't heard that. I know we have failed to live up to our ideals more often than not, but are you saying that quakers organized to promote and protect slavery? that's a new one on me
I don't know about "promoting slavery" but the early abolitionist leaders were basically told to "sit down and shut up!" You ought to google it and read about it. I've forgotten all the juicy parts or I'd tell you more..
Quakers do very little as a monolithic group. My meeting, for example, has been marrying same sex couples for more than 25 years, while many are just getting there. Quaker abolitionists were mostly working on their own, and initially found little support from their Quaker communities.
So she arrived at the Quaker retirement community a minor celebrity.
I'm interested in your move to atheism.
Our unofficial catchphrase is:[WWGHA is proud to offer you a Maggie-free environment ™]
She has to be a closet atheist, she has to be!
Quote from: jetson on August 29, 2012, 10:15:38 PM She has to be a closet atheist, she has to be!wait, why? I'm certainly not eager to claim her.I didnt' mean to turn this into a Maggie bashing session
never been to quaker church. I'm from the liberal branch, and we call it meeting

I have said it before, I am a soda addict!! I love soda, especially diet soda. I am not the only one in my house that is a soda addict either. My husband drinks his share of soda as well. I am sure that if we were to add up all of the money we spend on soda, it would be really sad. But, both of us being former smokers, I dont think the amount we spend on soda is that bad. Another thing I know that I do think about when drinking soda, is all the bad stuff we consume, like sugar, carbs, sodium and calories. Not good, I know. I do go out and buy the new sodas I find that are better for me, but regardless of that, the money we spend on soda is insane. When I was given the opportunity to test and review a SodaStream in my home, I thought to myself, "I hope it works". We were so excited to try it. I was thrilled to be able to try the SodaStream and review it, but my husband was like a little kid opening a new toy, lol. I found out, that when I told him we were going to review one, he went on the site and did his homework. Within just a few minutes, he was already making himself some root beer. Once I tried the root beer, I was in love. I then asked my husband to make me some diet cola, then the kids asked for some soda as well. Amazing!! Not only is this soda so very easy to make, but it tastes soooo good! Another plus is, when we later went to the site to look at other flavors that we are going to try, we looked at the price for each flavor?! Wow, and you only use a cap full of flavor per bottle. Each of the flavor bottles makes 12 liters. Who would have thunk it? That not only could we make our own soda at home that actually tastes really great, but now we will be saving tons of money by doing so! Oh, and dont let me forget the fact that this homemade soda that you make with the amazing SodaStream is also so much better for you than the soda you buy at the store! I am so hooked!! Well the wonderful people from SodaStream are going to send one of my amazing readers their own SodaStream Fountain Jet Soda Starter Kit in the winners choice of color and three soda flavor picks!!
Check out the selection of flavors they have over at SodaStream and tell me which one you would like to try! Please leave me your email address with this entry!!

Boonville seniors Jalen Poindexter and Damario Walker led by example on opposite sides of the ball this season for the Boonville Pirates football team.
While Poindexter was the main cog on defense at the linebacker position, Walker did his thing on the offensive side of the ball not only as a receiver but as a running back in the Wildcat formation.
But that's not all. While leading the secondary this past season for the Pirates, Walker impressed both the coaches and Missouri Sportswriters and Sportscasters Association enough to be selected second team all-state at receiver (media) and third team all-state at defensive back (coaches).
As for Poindexter, he too, impressed the media with his solid play night in and night out while earning second-team all-state honors.
Boonville Pirates football coach Devin Brown said for Poindexter and Walker to be selected all-state obviously shows what they accomplished this year.
"It's tough to make all-state obviously and for Jalen and Damario to get that it's great for them to be recognized," Brown said. "Honestly, I am always surprised because you don't know who is going to make it and how they are going to get voted. You just never know because you think this kid might make it and this kid might not but you are happy when they get on."
As one of the top linebackers in the state in Class 3, Poindexter picked up where former great Wes Davis led off in 2011 as the team's leading tackler.
Although Coach Brown admits that he didn't know what to expect out of Poindexter this season, he said Jalen more than exceeded his expectations.
As the leading tackler on the team with 97 solo stops and 53 assisted tackles, Poindexter also finished the season with two sacks, three forced fumbles and one blocked field goal. He also had 10 games where he finished with 10 tackles or more and played perhaps his best game against Class 4 Hannibal with 13 solo stops and seven assisted tackles. Poindexter also had a 18 tackle night against the Fulton Hornets while finishing with 11 solo stops, seven assisted tackles and one sack.
"When the season started we talked about Jalen and how good he was going to be and then in the first game against California it was a little bit rough for him," Brown said, "and then all of a sudden he started clicking and finally took over the role. In the first few games kids are finding out where they fit in and he was so used to having Wes (Davis) there and running the show and making all of the calls and then all of a sudden he had to do it and he took over. To see what he did and how well he played all year long he definitely exceeded my expectations. He was pretty dang good there at the end."
Poindexter said he was shocked to learn he had made all-state.
"We have been through a lot this year," Poindexter said. "It was tough but we came through. I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for Wes Davis. He taught me a lot and has made me who I am today and made me a way better player. Also, coach Newham has been through a lot with me. Even though I was a pain at times he made me way better and the player that I am today."
Of course Poindexter also did his part with a 20-game effort against Hannibal. He said that was his best game of the season.
"The Hannibal game was probably my best game," Poindexter said. "They are a Class 4 school so to have a good game against a really good team means a lot."
As for the highlight of his career, Poindexter said it was going 6-0 in the conference last year and winning districts. "Last year was a fun season," Poindexter said. "We won both conference and districts and finished 10-2 so that was a great season playing with all the guys."
While Poindexter did his thing on defense, Walker showcased his skills night in and night out on the offensive side of the football.
As the team's leading receiver this past season with 34 catches for 515 yards and three touchdowns, Walker also ran for 271 yards on 34 carries and two touchdowns.
Of course Walker only topped the 100-yard mark once this season with seven catches for 118 yards and one touchdown against the Centralia Panthers. He also had two games where he finished with over 70 yards receiving, with three catches for 75 yards in the season opener against California and five catches for 78 yards and one touchdown against Mexico.
Meanwhile, on the defensive side of the ball, Walker finished the season with 29 solo stops, 20 assisted tackles, four interceptions, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.
As far as his best game, Walker had 11 total tackles against Moberly with seven solo stops and four assisted tackles. He also had eight tackles in the season opener against California with five solos and three assisted.
Brown said Walker was used in a number of different ways this season. "We used him at quarterback, running back, receiver, punt returner and kick returner," Brown said. "He was also our lockdown corner. You have to have athletes with some skill and speed and that's what Damario had. Damario also took his job seriously. He watched film and had hours in when a lot of kids had minutes, so that's how much he cares and how dedicated he was in doing it."
Walker said it was kind of shocking to make all-state on defense because he didn't feel like he did enough.
"I felt like I could have done a lot more," Walker said. "I am excited to have it, though. It's a good thing to hold to and look back at your high school career and know you did enough to get all-state."
As for the highlight of the season, Walker said it was probably Kirksville. In that game, Walker said he had a kick off return for a touchdown to start the second half and had a long catch right before halftime.
"As far as my career I would say it had to be last year," Walker said. "We finished 6-0 in the conference and also won districts."
Dynamic Duo: Poindexter leads on defense, Walker does everything on offense for Pirates
Boonville seniors Jalen Poindexter and Damario Walker led by example on opposite sides of the ball this season for the Boonville Pirates football team.

China Glaze, "Something Sweet"
Hope everyone had a great weekend and a very happy Easter! So I'm getting back to doing nail posts regularly, as I've totally neglected my poor nails over the past month. Not kidding, haven't painted them in about four weeks.
Some of you know that I've been on the hunt for the perfect opaque, pale pink. All the colors I've tried just haven't cut it. Either they're too streaky or not the right shade of pale pink. To my surprise, after all my searching, my husband Brad picked this one up out of nowhere on a recent bored-out-of-his-mind trip to Ulta with moi. He said "this one looks good." Only words spoken by him the entire time...haha. He's such a gem... Anyway, it's the perfect pink. Super opaque with two thin coats and the perfect shade of pale pink. Looks like the perfect Easter color to me. I have a feeling I'll be reaching for this shade a lot!

We finished tied with seattle at 7-9, I didn't look at the tie-breaking procedures but SBnation is claiming it comes down to a coin flip. We should be able to draft a very good player from this position. Johnathon Martin, Reilly Reiff and David DeCastro are my top three realistic targets.

Ten years after it was first introduced in the legislature, a bill allowing illegal immigrants in Colorado to attend public colleges at the in-state tuition rate appears to be just days away from passage.
The Colorado House gave the bill initial approval Tuesday in a debate that turned nasty at times, with discussions about hope and taxes. The House approved the bill on a voice vote and is expected to take it up for a recorded vote on Friday, thus sending it to Gov. John Hickenlooper, a Democrat who has said he will sign it.
This year marks at least the sixth time in 10 years some sort of tuition bill has been introduced but the first time it is expected to pass.

Victor Galvan, an illegal immigrant whose parents brought him to America when he was 8-months-old, cried afterward.
"I've seen this bill fail time after time, inching its way through our state legislature," the 22-year-old Longmont resident said. "This is overwhelming. It gives us hope."
Galvan watched the debate on the side of the House floor as a guest.
Senate Bill 33was presented by its House sponsors, Reps. Angela Williams and Crisanta Duran, both Denver Democrats.
"Too many have called this false hope," Williams said. "I disagree.
"I want to be on the side of the issue that educates our children, that expects the best of them. I do not want to be on the side of history that punishes the child for their parents' desire for a better life and to seek the American dream."
Duran said that in previous years, opponents argued they were giving the students false hope because they couldn't legally get a job after they graduated from college. She pointed out that President Barack Obama has signed an executive order that allows them to stay and work in the country.
She also listed all the organizations that support the measure, including the Catholic Church and Catholic Charities.
That prompted Rep. Libby Szabo, R-Arvada, to remark in a discussion on the side of the House that Democrats shouldn't point to Catholic endorsements only when convenient. The Catholic Church and Catholic Charities are opposed to a civil unions bill the House is scheduled to debate Monday.
Rep. Brian Del Grosso, R-Loveland, said by the time some of the kids graduate from college, Obama will be out of office. An executive order is not a law and could change. The bill, he said, "is going at it the wrong way."
"We need have to have comprehensive reform at the federal level," he said.
Other Republicans questioned the true cost of the bill.
A legislative fiscal analysis on the original version of the bill estimated there are approximately 1,500 high school graduates each year in Colorado without legal immigration status, and of those, about 500 will attend college the first year the law takes effect.
Based on those numbers, the new students would generate an additional $2 million in tuition for colleges and universities in the first year and $3 million the following year, money which also would be spent to educate those students. But because the 2013 bill includes immigrant students in the College Opportunity Fund, the state would spend $930,000 the first year and $1.4 million the following year, the analysis said.
But the version of the bill the Senate passed takes the fiscal note off the bill. Democratic senators argued that it was wrong to infer there would be more from the College Opportunity Fund spent on the undocumented students because the fund is simply divided up on a per-student basis and sent to institutions.
Republicans argued this was dishonest.
"This is taxpayer-funded; make no mistake, taxpayers fund the (College Opportunity Fund)," said Rep. Amy Stephens, R-Monument.
Versions of the bill introduced the past two years took out the College Opportunity Fund, prompting Democrats to call the approach "unsubsidized" state tuition. Republicans said it was hypocritical to now say there is no subsidy in the bill.
Yet even Rep. Cheri Gerou, R-Evergreen, who argued Democrats were being disingenuous about the bill's costs, supported it. Gerou was joined by Rep. Kevin Priola, R-Brighton.
"I still see underlying wisdom in the bill," Priola said. "Immigrant children are hungry to succeed."
The debate was watched on the side of the House floor by former Rep. Val Vigil, D-Thornton, who introduced the first tuition bill in 2003. Vigil, now Thornton's mayor pro tem, said he got it to the House floor, but when GOP leaders realized he had the votes to pass it because of the support of moderate Republicans, they sent it to a so-called "kill committee," where it died.
In a show of how times have changed since then, three conservative Republicans voted for the measure last month when it passed out of the Senate: Greg Brophy of Wray, Owen Hill of Colorado Springs and Larry Crowder of Alamosa.

Which spring is supposed to be longer or softer on paint the one that looks as thought the last coil is cut or the other one? Its a close call
Which spring is supposed to be longer or softer on paint the one that looks as thought the last coil is cut or the other one? Its a close call
2k2 Tricked Impy
the longer the spring the softer on paint(but slightly worse on gas)
the cut spring is the mid spring and is more than soft enough for any paint.(use the cut side on bolt)
www.havoc-online.com <--- Your AGD Lifeline
Products & Services
I'm chopping with the cut spring so I'm going totry the next
as stated before it's probably your nubbins, have you checked them? also, the biggest carrier that doesnt leak will be the softest, dont do the one size smaller deal.
Ok guys I have read this entire thread and only found a couple of posts regarding my subject and they weren't very much help. I have an Emag with the Level 10 which has had 8500 rounds through it and no breaks. I use a 88/4500 Max Flow system with macro line to the marker. What I would like to know is what is everyone using to bleed the air from their systems prior to maintenance? I have heard of using slide checks then read you don't need one so I am looking for the real skinny from the experts. I currently just pop the macro after I get as much air out of the bolt as possible. I am hoping someone will have a better setup or idea. Thanks before hand for the info.
Havoc I checked my nubbin and it is plastic and it appear to be fine. It is very ... "floppy" sorry hard word choice. Like it feels very flimsy or something I don't know if that is normal or not.
I got my level 10 in the mail and attempted to install it. I followed the directions from airgun. I got the carrier #1 to work for a little bit. Alot of my attempts where with carrier #1. I would get it to work fine then i would shoot it about 4 times then it would full out leak out the front. After failing i look at carrier#1 and it had several dings scratchs and dents. But i tryied it agian and it shoot but with just the slightest leak. And carrier #1 was too tight and would fire just held air in the bolt so when i unscrewed it Boom!!! It was umm sure why not "funny". Um now i have ordered and new number 1 carrier. Also i had noticed that the new power tip was just covered in deep grooves on the in side. Also when i tried to slide the bost back in forward on the power tip it took lots of force and wasnt smooth the say the least. Thanks!
sorry carrier .5 was too small
and .5 WOULDNT fire
sorry im dumb but i was trying to slide the BOLT
Just fiddle with it got it to work YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok I'm curious as to how others have their Retrovalves setup with level 10. I went to the next smaller carrier and it worked for another 50 or so shots then I have a leak until I push the trigger against the sear, then it stops, after a i fire it does it again. What can I do? I believe I have 2 shims and am at one carrier smaller then AGD's instructions said. I still don't know how to identify the carrier #'s either.
BUY great quality gear, parts from RogueFactor, SoCal PRIDE!!feedback
Remember if it doesn't say RPG... it's not the real deal and probably voids the warranty
TheDuelist that's pretty much it, shoot as much as possible, play with the bolt to squeeze some more air out, you'll end up with about 300-400psi left, after that I just pop off the q/d. By design that's just how it works, the o'ring acts like a cork and just holds pressure. If it bugs you, just buy a pro-connect. DO NOT try and bleed extra pressure by loosening the field strip screw.
ChillinDaMost87 what type of barrel are you using? once the nubbin is in, the flat part that extends towards the outside of the barrel should be flush with the barrel. If the groove is too deep(like on some aftermarket barrels) then the nubbin wont have anything to push up against making it very weak.
RoadDawg every dot is a half, every line is a whole. start from no dots and no lines = the 0. carrier(then .5,1.0,1.5,2.0,2.5,etc.). which size are you using? what's your input pressure? you havent messed with your trigger rod have you? what kind of trigger frame?
I actually eliminated the leak last night. I removed 2 shims, went one carrier smaller, and went to the shorter spring. Seems to work fine right now anyway. I'm not sure of the carrier # but to answer the other questions. Benchy 2x, No I haven't touched the trigger rod, and my input pressure is preset at 800.
i got my lvl ten working nicely with the medium spring, and i can put my finger in there and it bounces off, but when i hold my trigger down for a while, it starts sputtering. The bolt goes back and forth trhe the littlest bit, and little bursts oh air come out. Any idea what that it, and how i can fix it? thanks.
before- after--
check it out
studley192 Are you sure that's a Level 10 problem? Could be an on/off or trigger rod length problem. Could you give some details of your marker? have you adjusted the rod length? what's your input?
no, i havent messed with anything besides what was neccesary to put in the lvl 10. Before i put it in, it didnt do this, after, it shoots fine, but does this. It might be the on -off, but i didnt do anything to it. Any idea how i can fix it? its not like its a real problem, im just have to have stuff perfect
I've got it going pretty nice but one thing. If Move my barrel around it leaks just the slightest bit down the barrel. Thats the only time. Should I go another size smaller on the carrier or no? Right now I am at the one ring and dot carrier.
No matter which carrier I use it always leaks out the litte side hole or the back of the valve. Tried em all, tried all the springs, all the shims, I'm getting a little perturbed. I've started from the begining of the directions many many many times. This is my Third DAY working with the x-valve(lvl 10). How long was installation supposed to take? Am I just stupid? HELP!

i have recently put a LX in my mag. i am using the 2.5 carrier, and the smallest spring yet every time i try to get to adjust above 250 it only vents out the back. what could be wrong
any help would be greately appreciated
studley192 Your input pressure?
ChillinDaMost87 Try the 1.0, see if that works for ya.
Hemorrhage Make sure nothing is missing in the valve and try to oil it up a bit. Since it's new, it may need some working in.
knssabo Make sure the kit is installed properly. Make sure the bolt fits the body. You might try a new reg. piston.
input presure is 700-800 psi, the mag shoots at a much lower velocity settingwith the normal internals and i have never had a problem with the reg piston. i was told that i might need to get a adjustable tank to turn the press. down. is that really what i need to do. or do i need to increase the preasure to the gun?
I have:
Automag RT (old kind)
level 10 kit
At first, after much heartbreak and headache, I got the thing to shoot with a 1.5 carrier, 1 shim and the long unclipped spring. However, the trigger pull was like dragging your leg through molasses!! Also, it seemed as if it could not keep up with my finger. From what I have read, I switched to the short spring that came in the LX kit. Trigger pull is much better. However, before and after changing to the short spring, I would hear a very quiet hiss after each trigger pull. Turned out a very small amount of air was coming out of the back of the gun, where the hole for velocity adjustment is. I suspect the reg piston? Can anybody please explain this? Also, with the short spring, the bolt seems to "hit" a lot harder (finger was used to measure this ). Would switching to the long clipped spring provide a good medium inbetween the short and unclipped long spring?

PLease help, i just bought a RT pro that came with a lvl 10 mod installed. When i use the stock barrel i dont have any problems but when i use the freak barrel i have the gun wont fire. The trigger just wobbles back and forth. I have to unscrew the tank and then screw it back in to recock the gun, then it will only fire once or twice then the problem happens again. please help, thank you. Hangover247
this might not be the right place but i want to thank mr kaye and the folks that work this thread. i sponsor 2 five man teams who all shoot mags. that's 12 guns (including the alternates) and to say the least it has been an interesting month installing 12 level 10's.
some advice to anyone that might be thinking about posting a problem/question. i was able to find every answer to my questions by scrolling through this thread. it's all here folks.
thanks again for a great thread.

Here's my problem:
I was out playing today and I was choping all day. When I talked to one of the techs from the field he told me that I should go to the cut spring on my LvL 10. When I put in the cut spring, my RTP wouldn't fire. So I tried the other long spring and it did the same thing. What do I do to get it to fire?

knssabo - get a new reg. piston.
SuperBeast - use the cut spring(cut side on bolt) and when swtich springs, you must rechrono.
hangover247 - take off the barrel and remove the valve. Check to see how the bolt fits inside the barrel.
t-square - thanks for commenting! and yes, most if not all the info is here, just read. As for you and your teams - you MUST get them here on AO and post some pics for the rest of AO to see. what do they play? how are they doing?
AutomagRT1483 - did you try turning up your velocity when going to the longer springs? what's your input pressure?
It worked after I turned up the velocity, thanks.
No carriers work, all vent out either back hole or side hole of the valve (x-valve)at all veloticty settings. My velocity adjuster thing is on the verge of being stripped it seems like and I've gone through 2SCUBA tanks of air to try to fix this bugger. Any ideas??? HELP!
I have a hyperframe, the on/off pin is just pressureized and wont fire. When i installed the level 10 on my other mag with a benchi, it did the same thing: when i pulled the trigger the sear pin was pressureized but it did not fire. I have a 1.5 carrier, 2 shimes, and the medium spring.
