Should be fine installing the blocker after bending, since he'll still need to cut several openings in the bottom before being able to install the other parts. As it is there's no way for the sear to enter the receiver (the two smaller holes).

ive been interested in the .40 s&w but d&d sales carbine barrels are cheap so i think im gonna go with that. so my jig would have to have a sort of round mandrel to extend into the trunnion area to ensure proper forming. if i come up with a good jig i guess i will have blazed the trail for uzi flat bending.
i think the blocking bar doesnt have to be welded in until before you weld on the back plate thing bc i remember seeing receiver shells for sale that didnt have the bar installed somewhere. i think it was group industries.
sucessfully screwwed up the flat, wasted $64 and pissed myself off.... tried to do it by sandwiching it between two peices of flatstock and prying it like how some people bend G3 flats.
goodluck to anyone who tries this.
I had an idea. Some of the kits like the one I got from numrich have the front section w/ trunion torch cut behind the trunion. The flat from mckay looks like a booger to bend in this area. Why not trim the receiver stub off a bit behind the trunion, and cut the front off the flat just behind the trunion area. The flat should be alot easier to fold after cutting the front off. Get your measurements off the flat before cutting. Weld the two together. Am I making sense? Should save a few bucks. Hell, dutigaf has probably already done one just like that!

"So stop bitchin' and start buildin'!
that was exactly what i was gonna do but i screwwed up my flat so just bought a nodak spud receiver. my kit is from sarco and has intact trunnion and rear section just like the picture you posted.
I just ordered my nodak spud receiver shell. akfiend, how long did it take to ship yours? Also, I re-read the thread and saw where you had said almost exactly what I posted about the cut and weld idea. How did I miss that? I can be a dummy sometimes!

"So stop bitchin' and start buildin'!
The lack of a bending jig has been whats holding me back as well!
Hopefully someone comes up with something before the prices on the flats go up!!
"Trample the Weak, Hurdle the Dead"
sorry mtn dew i havent checked this thread in a while. i dont remember it being to terribly long shipping time. now that i have a mill i could make a bending jig with releif cuts that would actually work.
I found that I have a PDF copy of the Group Industries UZI receiver instructions on my hard drive. It is small enough to email if you want a copy.

New standard for women in combat?
Opponents fear gender diversity will lower the bar
As the armed forces prepare to integrate women into all-male ground combat units, opponents of the change are maneuvering to prevent what they fear will be a drop in standards for the physically demanding assignments.
Before he retired, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta in January rescinded the Pentagon's combat exclusion policy for women. The 1994 provision has barred female troops from jobs such as the infantry and special operations for two decades after air combat and most combat ships opened to them.
By May 15, the services must present their plans for integrating female service members into all military jobs by January 2016, including justification for which, if any, should still be reserved for men.
Congress ordered the military to phase out gender-based job restrictions in favor of gender-neutral occupational standards wherever possible. Now the question is how the services will define "gender neutral" for ground combat roles.
Based on how the armed forces handle basic physical fitness requirements now — with differing standards for men and women doing the same job — coupled with comments earlier this year by the military's top officer, some opponents fear there will be lower job requirements for everyone or a double standard based on gender norms.
Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said at a news conference that the goal of repealing the combat exclusion policy is to have more than a handful of women qualify as land combatants: "If we do decide that a particular standard is so high that a woman couldn't make it, the burden is now on the service to come back and explain to the secretary: Why is it that high? Does it really have to be that high?"
Combat readiness must determine the standard, not gender diversity, said Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Alpine. He drafted an amendment for the 2014 military spending bill that would require the services to quantify standards for each job "without regard to gender." The amendment, which he plans to introduce this month, would also require the military to notify Congress if existing standards are changed and why.
Hunter, a former Marine artillery officer who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, supported the expansion of women's roles in battle for specialized units such as Female Engagement Teams who lived and worked alongside infantrymen in Afghanistan.
But he doesn't think women belong in all-male trigger puller units. As the combat exclusion policy fades into history, Hunter said he wants to limit the potential for politics to interfere with implementation of the change and combat readiness.
"The reality is this is happening. I just want to make sure it keeps military effectiveness first and foremost," Hunter said. When it comes to qualifications for a specific job, "we should look at every single person in the military as just a person in the military regardless of gender and have the same standards for everybody."
Those standards should be "based on what an individual can accomplish, what they can lift or what they can do to get into a specific military occupational specialty that has physical requirements," he said, not on gender quotas or efforts as opposed to results.

What am I doing here without annulment?
I find such statement very true. I don't want to fall in love, and experience the dissapointment of not being granted the annulment. I don't want to create false hopes for any woman that would consider me as potential husband (if that is possible, that is).
Does it really make any sense for someone like me to be a participant on Catholic dating site?

Scotland and New Zealand still hold by-elections, despite having adopted the additional member system, in which members are also chosen by party lists. The Republic of Ireland holds by-elections despite electing members in multi-member constituencies by the single transferable vote.
Alternatives to holding a by-election include recounting the original votes while disregarding the candidate who has withdrawn as in Tasmania or the Australian Capital Territory, keeping the seat vacant until the next general election or nominating another candidate with the same affiliation as the one whose seat has become vacant – typically, in list systems, the next candidate on the party list.
However, by-elections can become crucial when the ruling party has only a small margin. In parliamentary systems, party discipline is strong enough so that the one common scenario for a vote of no confidence to occur is after the governing party loses enough by-elections to become a minority government. A UK example was the Labour government of James Callaghan 1976-79.
By-elections can also be important if a minority party needs to gain one or more seats in order to gain official party status or the balance of power in a minority or coalition situation. For example, Andrea Horwath's win in an Ontario provincial by-election in 2004 allowed the Ontario NDP to regain official party status with important results in terms of parliamentary privileges and funding.
By-elections may occur singly, or in small bunches, especially if the authority responsible for calling them has discretion over the timing and can procrastinate. They are sometimes bunched to save money as holding multiple by-elections is likely to cost more than holding a by-election to fill the vacancies all at once. In Canada, in 1978, 15 by-elections were held on a single date, restoring the House of Commons to 264 members. The media called it a "mini-election", a test of the Liberal government's popularity with a general election due in less than a year. The 15 districts stretched from Newfoundland to British Columbia, and produced some unexpected results, for example, an NDP candidate winning in Newfoundland for the first time.
Party leaders and media commentators often point to by-election victories as important signals, but very often by-elections hinge far more on local issues and the charisma of the candidates (especially under single-seat constituency systems) than on national issues or how the voters feel about the governing party. Nonetheless it can be shown historically that a main opposition party which performs consistently poorly in by-elections is unlikely to be a serious contender for power at the subsequent general election.

So I recently finished reading all of the Discworld novels. Needless to say, I loved them, and now I have a new favorite author. For the last week I have been unable to get into any new books or authors! I guess it is time to start rereading Discworld Not that that is a bad thing
It really is a testament to the series and Sir Terry that after thirty nine books I am ready to go through it all again.
Happy reading all!

NXT versions
This topic has been covered in earlier posts, so I'm going to just provide some links here for those earlier discussions.
As for my opinion - I don't really have one. What I can tell you is what was told to me by Soren Lund:
1. The retail version is intended for those who will not be using the kit in a classroom or with any of the educational programs being developed.
2. Buy the education version if you will be using the kit in a classroom or anticipate purchasing any of the educational programs being developed for it.
Pretty simple. Remember, the Education version does NOT come with RoboCenter - the projects for each version are different. It comes with Robo Educator that has projects that are more in-line with the educational projects a classroom would use.
6 comments:
The main difference (as I make up out of the posts) is the 'tutorial' part of the NXT-G software.
However there is more, like rechargable battery, converter cables, storage boxes, 3 lights, and extra sensor which are added to the educational version. It has fewer parts of technics lego and is a bit more expensive (software must be bought extra). I'm not completely sure what the 'educational programs' means. Are this projects for in the classroom like the extra 'Science & Technology Set' or just tutorials in the Software ?
Being from the netherlands I still think I'm gonna pick the Educational one, because it is sooner available to the netherlands then the retail and it got some nice 'extra's'.
Anyone got any other thoughts on it?
PS Jim thanks for posting it and refering to the links, gave me a better inside already.
- Jun 26, 2006, 2:20:00 AM
The lamps that are included in the education NXT set appear (from the photos) to be the same old lamps that were used with the RCX system. I don't find much use for those lamps, since they are not bright at all. . . so that "extra" doesn't really appeal to me.
However, the rechargable battery with the AC adapter that is required to charge it IS an IMPORTANT extra that appeals to me. This is probably the main reason that I prefer the education kit over the retail kit.
Just my 2 cents worth. . .
- Jun 26, 2006, 9:00:00 AM
Jim - I can't find it, but there's a third important link in this saga. It's the one where LEGO confirmed that in August that they'd be offering a download for LPB support.
- Jun 27, 2006, 12:37:00 AM
- Jim Kelly said...
You're right, Byron... forgot about that one. I'll see if I can locate it and edit the original link to include.
For those of you who are unaware, there was a statement made by LEGO indicating that legacy block support is an update or add-on feature to be made available...

I don't have a lot more details, so please check this out and comment with your thoughts.
Unless I'm wrong...The $300 price of PRO/Engineer Wildfire might keep most of us from giving it a spin. I think there may be a free demo download, but I could not get my browser to get to that page. The animation samples are pretty cool!
I think it may be easier to use than some of the traditional FOL created freeware program combinations. But, without actually trying it for myself I really cannot give an opinion.
I think I will stick to LDraw/MLCad/POV-Ray etc. etc. -All freeware and very nice programs by established LEGO fans!
BTW - Soon, I will be posting a very good quick install guide for the freeware programs above. This will minimize some confusion of the installations.
What the....!
We already have a fantastic Ldraw system! With lots of utilities too!
There's no need for such a commercial software!
I agree... I had no idea the price was so high!
Pro-Engineer is a professional tool. For professional engineers and designers. It's not a toy.
That said this resource is invaluable to those who own and use Pro-E and use lego to conceptualize real world mechanical designs.
While I understand the the software is for professionals, I don't know many teachers or students who can afford it on their own... offering a library of parts won't do anyone any good if they don't have the primary software to use them.
I never said nor considered that the software was a toy... but I do stand by my opinion that the price is out of most NXT users' range.
Students and teachers from engineering diciplines have access to this software as part of their curriculum. Many of those students find jobs in companies that use the software.
I apologize for seeming to have put words in your mouth regarding the "toy" comment as that was not my intention.
And I apologize for my quick and short response... didn't mean to jump on your opinion.
I do remember having access to software while in college that I don't have now... you are correct that some students and teachers will probably be able to put the libraries to use because they have the main software... I'm probably just a little jealous :)

Midwest Living Review
The Charles Allis Art Museum enables visitors to peek into the early-20th-century private home --and extensive art collection -- of prominent Milwaukee citizens Charles and Sarah Allis. The Tudor home, which dates to 1911, is a vine-covered work of art. It is one of the early designs of Alexander Eschweiler (who also designed the Art Deco Wisconsin Gas Company structure) and built to be fireproof, with three layers of cream city brick. It was one of the first Milwaukee homes designed with electricity, with two central heating systems and hand-carved Italian fireplaces. Charles Allis inherited his father's manufacturing business in 1889 and was the first president of Allis Chalmers Corporation. He loved art and collected many small plein air paintings, Asian ceramics, Renaissance bronze, glassware and furniture. Pieces in the home include Louis XIV furniture, paintings from the Barbizon school, Lincrusta wallpaper (made beginning in 1877 in Lancashire, England) and Tiffany lamps. Interestingly, a lovely wall of stained glass was quoted on by Tiffany, but Allis rejected it because there were too many reds and yellows in their design, which would have detracted, he felt, from the paintings in that stairwell. He awarded the job to Milwaukee Glass Company, and now the paper with the quote on it is worth more than the stained glass! The museum hosts four Wisconsin art shows each year. A German beer-hall-style room (think huge iron chandeliers and beams) can handle private functions. Various special events take place throughout the year, including classic movies, art sales, lectures and music performances. Admission is $5 adults; $3 seniors, military and students. Children 12 and under free. Those visiting both the Charles Allis and sister museum Villa Terrace receive a small discount.

In light of the ongoing controversy surrounding the Air Force's plans to use Tate's Hell State Forest to conduct military exercise, helicopters circling overhead Monday have ruffled the feathers of Carrabelle residents.
Carrabelle Beach resident Lesly Cox said based on the visible lights, there were at least two helicopters flying at treetop level for around an hour adjacent to her home beginning at 6:30 p.m. Monday. She said the aircraft were extremely loud and caused significant vibration.
Carrabelle City Hall said they received several complaint calls, both in the area of Carrabelle Beach.
The exercises, which are handled through an arrangement between a private sector company and the Special Operations Command, both in Tampa, are not related to Gulf Regional Airspace Strategic Planning (GRASI), a pending Air Force initiative with the state to use Tate's Hell for regular military exercise.
"None of these things are associated with GRASI at all," said Mike Spaits, a spokesman with Eglin Air Force Base's Environmental Public Affairs office. "The GRASI study is still underway. No actions that we are looking at from GRASI are ongoing."
The exercises are conducted by special operations units, which could be the 1st Special Operations Wing at Hurlburt Field, one of three Air Force active duty Special Operations wings. The operations, which have been conducted in parts of Franklin off and on for the past half-dozen years, are arranged by the Tampa firm of Visual Awareness Technologies and Consulting, Inc. (VATC)
Alan Pierce, the county director of administrative services, said an Osprey helicopter visited the Apalachicola airport late last fall and hovered 100 feet over a home belonging to Chris Varnes. It reportedly sucked the water from an above ground pool and caused pictures to fall from the walls of the structure. The county sent a letter of complaint to the military over the incident.
Jeff Mason, VATC's director of training coordination, said the focus is to conduct realistic military training on private properties, with the permission of local landowners, law enforcement and the county commissioners.
This last go-round, which also included larger exercises a week prior, employed the former golf ball factory on River Road. "That facility is as realistic as we're going to find," Mason said. "At a base most facilities are special operations command. A unit will contact us and say we like to do realistic military training."
He said the firm has received a few complaints, mainly about helicopters from people living up the river. He said the military on Monday used Navy CH-53 helicopters. "We try to keep times we do this earlier so it doesn't disturb locals as much."
Mason said the firm pays to use property, buys gas and lodging locally, and employs role players, usually off0duty deputies, to assist in the exercises.
Spaits said that the GRASI study should be complete by the fall, which is the earliest any GRASI exercises would be done.
"We don't know whether it's going to be helicopters. It may not be. It may just be radar-type devices. It could be small teams of four to 11 guys maneuvering through the forest," he said. "We're still studying the potential impacts."

One of the first warm and sunny days of the season greeted the 11th annual African-American History Celebration Saturday, as Franklin Square came alive with festivity.
Retired Chapman Elementary School teacher Lorine Banks served as grand marshal of the annual parade Saturday morning, a traditionally spirited, modest affair that precedes the Saturday morning ribbon cutting.
Clerk of Courts Marcia Johnson and Property Appraiser Rhonda Skipper represented county officials in the parade, which featured plenty of beads thrown from the cars and golf carts but less candy than typically is flung.
The mood was sweet and upbeat though, even when organizers had to "figuratively cut the ribbon" on the festival from the main stage at 11 a.m.
Covenant Word Pastor David Walker offered a blessing over the festival, followed by a collective rendition by a chorus of members of H'COLA of "Lift Evry Voice and Sing," considered the Negro National Anthem.
The non-profit community action group H'COLA, which stands for Hillside Coalition of Laborers for Apalachicola, has been the force behind the festival for the past 11 years, held the third weekend in February, to celebrate the contributions to society made by both national and local African-Americans.
Van Johnson, the city's first African-American mayor, offered a welcome that touched on the larger issues of civil rights in the nation's history.
"We gather to gauge how far we have come as a society since the institution of slavery, Jim Crow laws and racial imbalance marred the landscape of this great nation founded upon the principles of liberty and justice for all," he said. "We gather not to relive past hurts or injustices, but to determine for ourselves after 238 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence whether this great nation, a melting pot of humanity, can justifiably call itself the sweet land of liberty.
"And we gather 151 years after President Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation to ensure that our children, and our children's children will be able to continue to sing 'Long may our land be bright with freedom's holy light; Protect us by Thy might, Great God, our King.'" Johnson said.
The Baby Boomers who form the heart of the event's organizers gathered Friday night at the Sixth Street Recreation Center for a '70s Bash, bringing back that era at a party that used to be held the Friday before Labor Day.
"It was neat, we had a good turnout," said Elinor Mount-Simmons, who helped coordinate the festival. "A lot of folks came."
As the morning events commenced, Franklin County High School co-valedictorian Bria Walker, and salutatorian Jathan Martin read President Obama's proclamation for Black History Month, and then Banks was introduced as grand marshall.
Also introduced was the Royal Court, who included Tiny Miss Hillside Aubriunna Davis and Tiny Mr. Hillside Antrell O'Neal; Miss Hillside Alonna Brown; Hillside Princess Arryonna Cargill; and Hillside Queen Trianna Lockley.
As a basketball tournament energized the nearby courts, the event continued with plenty of food booths, including one serving curried and jerked chicken, and goat, as well as booths from Franklin's Promise Coalition, the Apalachicola library, the health department's anti-tobacco program, and FAMU Physics Professor Ronald Williams, who offered hands-on science demonstrations.
The Hillside Talent Showcase featured original music artist Courtney "C-bell" Bell, and there was the traditional ethnic fashion show, coordinated by Sherry O'Neal, plus this year line dancing led by Dan Savage and Asenath Thomas. Also performing were the dance ministries of Hillside Dancers for Christ, a community based troupe directed by Teresa Ann Martin, and True Love and Heavenly Angels, troupes from the Friendship Missionary Baptist Church.
Members of Tallahassee's Valentine Lodge No. 147 of the F & AM Masonic Order, were on hand to promote their hopes of reviving what once was a vibrant Masonic lodge on the Hill up until the 1980s.
The musical group Sharper 5, from Valdosta, Ga., under the direction of Eric Sharper, got the crowd on its feet as evening rolled in.
The event closed Saturday night at 8 p.m., and Mount-Simmons said plans are to move the featured entertainment to earlier in the afternoon.
"It's still wintertime and once the sun goes down, it gets cold," she said. "The gates now close at 8 p.m., which is a great time to end up."
A worship service on Sunday at noon drew from nearly all the churches on the Hill, with the featured speaker Roderick Robinson, the high school's guidance counselor. He spoke on a comparison of slavery of biblical days to slavery in the United States.
"We were pleased with this year's event," said Mount-Simmons. "We had gorgeous weather and people were moving in all day long."

Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl crossed the Pacific ocean in a balsa wood raft in 1947, together with five men, to prove that South Americans already back in pre-Columbian times could have crossed the sea and settle on Polynesian islands. After gathering financing for the trip with loans and donations, they set off on an epic 101 day-long journey across 8,000 kilometers, all while the world was watching. KON-TIKI tells about the origin of Heyerdahl's idea and the events surrounding the group's voyage.

The sound of music will soon encompass the beach as the fifth annual Blast on the Bay Songwriters' Festival kicks off Oct. 17.
The free event sprawls across the Forgotten Coast from Mexico Beach to Indian Pass and welcomes Nashville-dwellin' Grammy-winnin' country songwriters who have penned tunes for the likes of superstars Faith Hill, Jason Aldean and Garth Brooks.
Songwriter Charlie Black and his wife, Dana, who have written hits for George Strait, Alan Jackson, Reba McEntire and many other country crooners, will perform for the fourth time.
Years ago the couple traded in the busy streets of Nashville for a relaxing life on the Forgotten Coast and each and every year the Songwriters' Festival brings their friends to town.
The festival will begin on Oct. 17 with a lunchtime happy hour at Triple Tails and the following day, a workshop will be held at Dockside Seafood and Raw Bar where a panel of songwriters will participate in an informal open discussion on the art and business of song writing.
Topics will include the craft of song writing, song writing as a career, and music production, followed by a critique for participants who bring a sample along with them.
"Fellow writers will be able to get insight on the process," said event coordinator Jason Bogan. "It's a good place for both novices and seasoned writers to learn from the pros."
The festival utilizes a writer's round format like those commonly found in Nashville. Each show consists of four performers who trade off playing songs while the other writers can choose to join in with harmonies, extra guitar riffs or rhythm or just sit back and enjoy the tune.
Perhaps more fun than hearing these hit songs is learning the stories behind them. The writers are encouraged to offer up the inspiration behind their hits and discuss where they were and what was happening in their lives when they originally put pen to paper.
"It's the untold story," said Bogan. "They share what they were feeling when they wrote it.
"It's all raw, live, unfiltered and unplugged, but it's laid back and low-key. It's not just for fans of country music, but fans of music and how it was created. It's nice to see the writers of the hits get a little recognition."
"A lot of serious songs had goofy beginnings," added Black. "You never know what you're going to hear."
Black said he enjoys hearing and sharing the stories, but for him, the best moments are getting to hear a song the way it sounded right after the songwriter had completed the first draft.
While some of the hit songs are performed similarly to their well-known counterparts, others may have completely different words, arrangements or be performed on a different instrument altogether.
This year's event will welcome 27 writers, a new record and a significant increase from the five who played the inaugural event in 2008.
The first festival was founded with the idea of keeping things quaint. According to Bogan it was never meant to be rival the size of similar festivals in bigger cities.
"The first couple of years, the writers were asking us, 'Where's Port St. Joe?'" laughed Bogan.
The growth happened organically as word got around. More writers heard of the festival's success and intimate setting and offered to share their stories. Bogan and fellow organizer Will Rambeaux seek out writers with great energy and an established hit on the radio to participate.
Bogan encouraged musicians and music lovers to take advantage and experience the performances in such an intimate environment. He said that each show acts as its own meet-and-greet.
"The writers are regular folks and they're ridiculously talented," he said. "Everyone is super accessible and they're happy to come down and share."
Black said that he was looking forward to some great music and sharing lunch with old buddies that he'd written songs with over the years.
"I'm looking forward to it and it's going to be a lot of fun," said Black. "The whole town should come out and have a blast."
Bogan noted that the festival was designed as a "listening event" for people to appreciate the songs and be respectful to the writers who in most cases have driven a minimum of nine hours to perform.
Proceeds from the event will benefit the Coastal Songwriters Education Coalition Inc., a 501c3 not for profit. The Blast on the Bay Songwriter's Festival runs from Oct. 17-20. To register in advance for the songwriter's workshop, visit www.blastonthebay.com.

A "taste" of the Ignatian way of praying in everyday life will be offered staff and faculty again this spring during "28 Days of Guided Prayer."
The 28 Days retreat will provide participants with suggestions for daily individual prayer and weekly spiritual guidance with an experienced spiritual director.
28 Days is a "middle ground" between the Twilight or weekend retreats and the eight-month Bridges program. It can be made in the quiet of one's home at a time that is convenient. It also provides an introduction to Ignatian prayer and the Christian practice of spiritual direction.
Spiritual direction is a centuries-old practice of meeting with one who is experienced in a life of prayer and a relationship with God in order to become more aware of God's presence in one's life.
The retreat offers the opportunity to speak with an experienced spiritual director in a confidential, one-on-one setting about one's personal relationship with God.
A director listens with a welcoming, non-judgmental presence and can help one become more attentive to God's activity in one's life. The retreat also offers an opportunity to explore new ways of praying and an introduction to Ignatian spirituality.
Retreatants are asked to pray for at 20-30 minutes each day and to meet individually with a spiritual director for about 45 minutes during each of the four weeks. These meeting times will be scheduled at three convenient times during the workday.
An opening session is planned for March 21 and the retreat will close with Mass and evaluation on April. Both will be held 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. in St. Francis Xavier College Church. Lunch will be provided.
Cost for the retreat is $25. It is sponsored by Mission and Ministry.

As vice chairman of America Online, owner of sports teams and serial entrepreneur, Ted Leonsis has accomplished enough for many lifetimes. In addition, however, he uses the leverage of his position and his entrepreneur's drive to tackle a multitude of philanthropic goals.
Any entrepreneur who hopes to raise capital from individual investors, so-called "angels," should be properly prepared with a presentation, business plan, list of potential angels, and outline of the opportunity his or her new venture affords. The author explains that it's also important to avoid making such mistakes as allowing investors to have too large a stake in the enterprise. That could cause problems should the company fail, he writes, in an article filled with specific tips for dealing with these financiers.
Angel investors are funding companies at the seed and start-up stage, as venture capitalists retreat from that market, says an angel investor and former entrepreneur.
Angel investors have been banding together in groups, a development that benefits both the financiers and the companies they fund, says a former entrepreneur who chairs the nation's largest angel network.
Question: I've read a few articles and blog posts over the past couple of days regarding Senator Dodd's financial reform bill, and some of them suggest that it's going to be more difficult for startups to raise money if the bill is signed into law. Why is that? I thought the bill was supposed to address the problems on Wall Street that led to our financial crisis.

The GOP's Dangerous Debt-Ceiling Threat
Even for someone unmoved by hyper-ideological, right-wing rhetoric, Senator John Cornyn's most recent op-ed for the Houston Chronicle is astounding in its mendacity and utter disregard for responsible governance. To wit, after engaging in a little bizarro history—where he blames the president for brinksmanship on the debt ceiling and the fiscal cliff, as if Obama has an obligation to implement the GOP agenda—the two-term Texas lawmaker presents a government shutdown as a responsible way to force spending cuts:
Over the next few months, we will reach deadlines related to the debt ceiling, the sequester and the continuing appropriations resolution that has funded federal operations since October. If history is any guide, President Obama won't see fit to engage congressional Republicans until the 11th hour. In fact, he has already signaled an unwillingness to negotiate over the debt ceiling. This is unacceptable. […]
The coming deadlines will be the next flashpoints in our ongoing fight to bring fiscal sanity to Washington. It may be necessary to partially shut down the government in order to secure the long-term fiscal well being of our country, rather than plod along the path of Greece, Italy and Spain. President Obama needs to take note of this reality and put forward a plan to avoid it immediately.
Ignoring, for now, Cornyn's assertion that the United States will end up like Greece—which, as I noted a few days ago, is ridiculous given our ability to print money—it's worth elaborating on what Cornyn means when he says "shutdown."
A government shutdown occurs when Congress fails to pass an appropriations bill. Without appropriations, the federal government lacks the authority to operate, and so it doesn't. Agencies close, workers go home, programs are suspended, and nothing goes on for as long as Congress is at an impasse. This is what happened in 1995, when the Gingrich-led House forced a shutdown, and this is what almost happened at the beginning of 2011, when Boehner led his conference to a similar position.
This isn't on the table. Rather, Cornyn is referring to the debt ceiling, which is a congressional limit on the Treasury's ability to pay obligations. If Congress fails to raise the debt ceiling, the government will continue to function, it just won't pay the people its promised to compensate. Social Security checks won't go out to retirees, Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements won't go out to hospitals, payments won't go out to military contractors, and federal workers will receive an I.O.U for paychecks.
This is why its so dangerous for Republicans to refuse to raise the debt ceiling. Contra Cornyn, keeping the limit low won't reduce deficits or stop the United States from accumulating debt; instead, it will keep the federal government from paying what it owes to a variety of people and organizations, from bondholders to pensioners. When you stop making payments on your mortgage, the bank comes to take your house. When the government of the world's largest economy stops making payments on its obligations, financial markets spin into a panic.
In 2011, the mere threat of not raising the debt ceiling was enough to slow economic growth to a crawl, and nearly erase the gains of the previous months. Put another way, what Cornyn has signaled—along with most of the Republican Party—is a willingness to crash the economy and damage the full faith and credit of the United States if President Obama doesn't adopt core parts of the conservative agenda. Either Democrats slash and dismantle programs for working and middle-class Americans—including Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid—or Republicans will "kill the hostage" and plunge us into a second global recession.
Oddly, large swaths of the press is treating this as a routine negotiation, and not as an extraordinary and irresponsible threat to our national well-being. In two posts worth reading, Greg Sargent and Alec MacGillis document the extent to which the mainstream media is unalarmed by the GOP's actions. For example, here's Chris Cillizza of The Washington Post, "Make no mistake: No deal on the fiscal cliff was a political loser for Republicans; this is an issue they needed to get off the table in order to find better political ground—debt ceiling—to make their stand."
There's something very wrong with Washington journalism when a threat to imperil the global economy is treated like a round of capture-the-flag.

You can always count on Prospect writers for one thing. They have no idea what they are talking about. Failing to raise the debt ceiling does not mean that the US deafults on obligations. It means that the US cannot spend any more money than it takes in. How this is done is entirely up to the government. Defaulting on debt is one option, but that would probably violate the 14th Amendment. Another, more likely option, is to stop operations, starting with the least necessary to the most until outflows equal inflows.

I would not be so quick to dismiss Mr. Bouie's analysis. Your alternative solution of "stopping alterations" is likely not a tool at the disposal of the Administration. As Bouie discusses, a government shutdown appears in the event of a failure to pass appropriations (as in 1995) but in the event of a failure to increase the debt ceiling, the government would remain statutorily obligated to spend money as it has been appropriated. It would lack only the resources to pay.
What you appear to be suggesting is referred to as "impoundment." Impoundment is where the executive branch refuses to spend money appropriated by congress. As it turns out, however, the power of impoundment does not exist. It is specifically barred by the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974. In addition, the principle was tested when President Nixon attempted to refuse to make certain expenditures (concerning limiting water pollution) passed by Congress, but the Supreme Court ruled against him in Train v. City of New York, 420 US 35.
If, on the other hand, you meant to suggest that congress and the administration could work together to increase revenues and/or reduce spending to bring the budget into balance, I would suggest (without regard to whether that level of austerity would be wise) that nothing in recent history suggest such a level of cooperation is a realistic possibility. In any event, it cannot lawfully be imposed by the Administration unilaterally.

Virginia Supreme Court Rejects Waterfront Opponents' Appeal
The Virginia Supreme Court has ruled that a major legal challenge by three plaintiffs to the City's approved Waterfront Small Area Plan is moot. The challenge stems from an attempt by the group to appeal the Waterfront Text Amendment to the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA)—an attempt that was rejected by Planning and Zoning Director Faroll Hamer. The plaintiffs appealed to the Alexandria Circuit Court. The Circuit Court dismissed the case on the City's motion, and the group then appealed the matter to the Virginia Supreme Court.
City Council adopted the draft waterfront small area plan dated July 2011, incorporating the recommendations from the Planning Commission and the Waterfront Work Group and City staff has outlined in the memo (Staff Report) dated January 17, 2012, as an amendment to the City's Master Plan and a text amendment to the Zoning Ordinance Section 5.500 of the W-1 Waterfront Mixed Use zone, request the City Attorney to prepare the necessary ordinance and direct staff to proceed with implementation planning as directed in the report, with the following amendments: 1. on page 122, add a new sentence at the end of Parking recommendation 4:34 (d), which states: Testing and monitoring the effect of waterfront development on residential parking areas, with the understanding that additional protective measures should be taken to protect those residential areas. Add a new sentence to read: New residential parking controls, such as restricting parking to permit holders after 6:00 p.m., should be considered an implementation priority. 2. Add language to both the permitted and the special use lists in the W-1 zone: Uses that foster art, history and cultural awareness through increased understanding and training, such as museums, schools and cultural institutions. Any use over 5,000 square feet requires a special use permit. 3. add the word "preferably" in Recommendation 3.69 regarding eminent domain. 4. that it limit to two hotels in the whole waterfront plan, with a total limit of 300 rooms with 150 rooms per hotel in the entire W-1 zone. 5. to add specificity to the language so each parcel has the height limits clearly stated in the master plan.
Updated Draft Waterfront Plan
This document reflects updates to the first draft, released February 28, pursuant to approval of the Planning Commision. All discussions taking place on the plan as of September 2011, including those of the Waterfront Plan Work Group, were in reference to this document.
Waterfront Plan Work Group (WPWG)The WPWG was an 8 member citizen advisory group, formed to identify consesus areas and to identify, categorize, and narrow differences on the concerns raised by residents over the plan.
Fall/Winter 2012 Analysis of Report by the Citizens for an Alternative Alexandria Waterfront Plan (CAAWP)
On Saturday, June 11, 2011 the City Council held a public worksession on the draft Waterfront Small Area Plan. In response to staff's presentation, the City Council shared comments and questions.
On Saturday, May 14, 2011 the City Council held a public hearing on the draft Waterfront Small Area Plan. Following a staff presentation and public testimony, the City Council shared comments and questions and requested staff to respond in a Work Session. The comments and questions have been documented in a May 23, 2011 Memorandum from Faroll Hamer, Director, Planning and Zoning Department. The City Council Work Session on the Waterfront Small Area Plan is confirmed for Saturday, June 11, 2011, 9:30 am in the City Council Chambers, City Hall. Staff will return at that time with responses to the comments and questions.
On May 3, 2011, the Planning Commission voted 6-1 to pass the Waterfront Plan and associated Text Amendment. There were minor changes requested in the action to reflect the desire for boutique hotels and the final vision for the area in and around the foot of King Street, among other changes as reflected in the May 3rd memorandum.
The May 3rd memorandum to the Planning Commission outlined responses and changes recommended to the Plan following questions, testimony and letters generated for the April 5th waterfront public hearing.
The changes recommended by the staff were based on comments, presentations and testimony at the April 5 hearing. In addition, new information concerning the Old Dominion Boat Club discussions is included, but as these discussions had not been completed there is no specific staff recommendation for their implementation, other than that the Planning Commission acknowledged the discussions and the possibility of an agreement with the ODBC in the future. For these reasons, the Planning Commission decided not to take additional testimony at the May 3 public hearing.

Community Meeting at the Torpedo Factory, September 29, 2009The meeting at the Torpedo Factory included a brief presentation of proposed guiding concepts for the waterfront plan and key ideas for subareas developed from the initial community meetings and tours. Following the presentation, attendees visited displays of each of the principal waterfront subareas and placed "like" (green) and "dislike" (red) stickers on images representing ideas for these subareas. Representatives of Robinson Terminal and the Food Court staffed displays showing ideas for the future of these facilities, and active discussion continued around the boards until 9:00 p.m.
Field Trip to New York City, August 5, 2009The Alexandria Planning Commission made a one-day bus trip on August 5, 2009 to New York City. The trip included visits to Battery Park City, the High Line and to Bryant Park, considered among the most successful public spaces in the country. Battery Park City is a series of exceptionally well-designed public spaces linked along a waterfront, and it offers lessons in incorporating public art, ferry and terminal operations, utilization of open space, and connectivity along the waterfront.
Community Planning Charrette - Saturday, June 27, 2009Almost 100 members of the community participated in the City's Waterfront Planning Charrrette on Saturday, June 27. The morning session consisted of a series of presentations outlining existing conditions, such as environmental constraints, historic resources, shoreline conditions, flooding issues, economics and demographics. The afternoon session provided an opportunity for the community to break into small groups and collaborate on developing a vision for the waterfront by exploring the various themes identified in the morning session.

Very pleased with the price point, turnaround time, packaging, and quality met expectations
Very nice quality.....sure that the recipients will enjoy!
I was looking to replace a book mark just like this made out of felt that was breaking. It had a special picture in it. I searched on line and this one popped up right away. I couldn't believe how easy it was to find. I thought leather would be a nice material,more durable. And the photo opening was the exact size!!! It looked nice so I decided to buy a bunch of them for gifts this year. (I got some sale colors for gifts) When they arrived I was so pleasantly surprised. It came in a really nice box with a ribbon. It was wrapped in a microfiber cloth...very fancy!! The book mark and presentation was more than I expected and the price was great.
Very happy with product
I have one of these for myself and gave one as a gift for Christmas this year to an avid reader who has everything he could possibly need.
Love both book marks...
The bookmark is nicely made. Recommend perhaps making it a little wider so the photo window could be bigger.
Lovely, personalized bookmark. I'll will be proud to give it as a gift.

With Harry Reid in charge of the Dems in Congress it's hard to believe we didn't take the senate last fall too.
"For the sake of our economy, it's time for mainstream Republicans to stand up to the Tea Party and rejoin Democrats at the table to negotiate a responsible solution that cuts spending while protecting jobs," he said.
Last week Reid put $7.5 billion in discretionary cuts and $3.5 billion in mandatory savings on the table as a counteroffer to the $51 billion in additional cuts the GOP is seeking.
More at Weasel Zippers
Reid called The $51 billion, which is less than 5% of the deficit "extreme" and that we have to....what....RESTORE THE DEFICIT FOR THE SAKE OF THE ECONOMY?!?
Trillion dollar deficits and a 14 trillion dollar national debt aren't extreme to this sonova.......but cutting them down is!?!
Vegas casinos must be begging for this moron to play poker at their establishment. Why doesn't Reid just admit he's trying to collapse our economy:
GOP: We need to do something about our budget deficit, we have to cut spending down to the same levels of revenue is actually coming in.
Reid: Really? That's weird because I was thinking we need to maintain it at 1 trillion dollars.
GOP: Why?
Reid: For the sake of the economy silly!
GOP: Oh? But we have to turn things around, is prospect the world could collapse the economy by dumping our debt enough to make you change your mind on this?
Reid: The world is not enough!
GOP: Seriously?
Reid: Bond, James Bond.
GOP: Oh....The world is not enough...I get it... Um, we really can't cut anything? Because this 11 billion you're suggesting is like pouring a shot of whiskey into the ocean and expecting the fish to get drunk.
Reid: You Republicans just aren't serious about solving any problems are you?
GOP: Wha?
Reid: The problem is the economy, right?
Reid: We have to do what Nevadans do with their problems, just get rid of them! That's why they elected me Senator so many years ago, so they could send me away to DC.
GOP: So if we collapse the economy, the problem is solved because it will have been destroyed-
Reid: -and then we can move on to more important stuff! See?
GOP: With your glasses? No thanks.
I know this is a bit dramatic, but I had to write Reid as more intelligent than he really is, or it would've been difficult for him to carry the story.
