I have a chance to get a Ruger-4 inch barrel in the original box for less than 200.00. I don't know sqat about this gun, but think I should get it? I would be trading a Mossberg 500c 20 gauge that I have 100.00 in and 75.00 cash. Good deal or not?? By the way it is a SS gun in excelent condition.

Is the Ruger a .357 or a .38? They made some .38 models. If it's a .357, $200. is a good price. Would you prefer to keep the shotgun, or would you rather have the Ruger?
If the Ruger is clean and locks up tight, the barrel and crown are good etc, jump on it.
It should be able to shoot .38 specials.
"It's a gun you loaded on Sunday, and shot all week." -Confederate Soldier "If God didn't create man equal then Sam Colt had made them equal." -Unknown "Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything." -Wyatt Earp
That's the nice thing about .357's. You can shoot .38's for fairly cheap plinking and .357's for when you just want a blast or for SD.
You're welcome.
I have a Security Six from the mid 1970's it's a 4" bbl in the blue frame, This gun was carried by my Dad when he worked his security job back then, & I carry this gun a lot, in my Bianchi X15 shoulder holster during the cool weather, & in a OWB holster during the warmer weather, I love this gun, its accurate & reliable, & it hides pretty good also, I keep it loaded with 125 GR. gold dot ammo for SD.

What my fiber addiction has done to my house.
My mornings are busy – from farm chores to house chores and back to farm chores (and yes, of course farm chores including hugs and love). Yesterday, as I was going through different rooms in my house, I realized just how addicted I've become to everything 'fiber'.

As I see it, development isn't going to stop, the coyotes are going to continue being pushed into suburbs and urban areas. In the last ten years I have […]

I was at a funeral this morning, a Catholic mass. The priest said some really neat things, including talking about death. He talked about how it was natural to not want to think about it, natural to not want to embrace it, and so on, because of the 'unknown' aspect. And I kept thinking….I'll pass […]

Farmlife Picture Day and 'She ain't no Chippy, but I love her to pieces!'
Whirlwind last few days. Apologies to those I missed at Rhinebeck last weekend.

Nats Concerned Bryce Harper Could Miss Significant Time
Posted By Matt Stein On April 28, 2014 @ 12:15 PM In MLB,News and Rumors | No Comments
The Washington Nationals fear that Bryce Harper may miss significantly longer than his 15-day disabled list stay because of a thumb injury, sources say, possibly missing several weeks.
Harper is scheduled to see a hand specialist Monday, so there's still some uncertainty until that exam, but it is possible he could miss a comparable amount of time to that of Angels' OF Josh Hamilton, who will miss 6-8 weeks.
Like Hamilton, Harper injured his thumb on a head-first slide. Nate McLouth is likely to be Harper's main replacement.

Lambert praises U's squad
10 Oct 2008 - 12:00:59
Colchester United's new manager Paul Lambert is determined to make a success of is time in charge of the League One club.
Lambert has been handed the U's reins following the recent sacking of Geraint Williams, having left his previous club, Wycombe Wanderers, at the end of last season.
He told the East Anglian Daily Times: "I had a terrific time at Wycombe. I loved it, but there is always a time to move on.
"I know all about Colchester and their dramatic rise up the league, at a great rate of knots. The last manager did terrifically well, but now it's a new start.
"There's a great group of players here. I've had them watched in the last three games, although I didn't go to the matches myself, because I didn't want to put any pressure on anyone.
"They have done well under Kit Symons, but the home record has been a little bit of a problem."

The depression in the Bay of Bengal has intensified into a cyclonic storm, and lies centred 400 km east of Chennai on Tuesday evening.
According to a bulletin issued by the India Meteorological Department, the system is likely to intensify further and cross the Andhra Pradesh coast, between Ongole and Visakhapatnam, by the early hours of Thursday.
The Department has warned that under the influence of the system, north coastal Tamil Nadu and coastal Andhra Pradesh will experience very adverse weather conditions over the next two days.
Along and off the Andhra Pradesh coast, gales with speed reaching up to 65-75 kmph are likely to begin on Tuesday night, and the speed will steadily increase to 115-125 kmph at the time of landfall.
The sea condition will be "very high" to "phenomenal," and extremely heavy rainfall is possible in some areas during the next two days.
On the other hand, along the north coastal Tamil Nadu squally winds reaching 50-60 kmph are likely during the next 24 hours, and the sea is likely to be "very rough." There is a possibility of extremely heavy rainfall in a few areas.
The Department has advised fishermen in the two States not to venture into the sea till the storm ends.
With the system moving rapidly towards the coast, fears of a repeat of last year's experience — the cyclonic storm 'Aila' formed right at the beginning of the monsoon disrupting the build-up of the system — have receded. The disruption led to a severe deficiency in rainfall during June, which, in turn, resulted in the season ending with a nationwide rainfall of a mere 78 per cent of its long period average.
Experts who apprehended that the current system, 'Laila,' might turn out to be another 'Aila' said the rapid approach of the system towards land had dispelled such fears.
Speaking to The Hindu, they said that since the monsoon flow over the Arabian Sea was still building up, if 'Laila' crossed the coast on Thursday, as predicted, there would still be enough time for the monsoon to evolve and lead to the onset of the monsoon over Kerala around month-end.
They also noted that weather prediction models suggested that the strength of the south westerly flow of the monsoon over the Bay of Bengal would remain intact, even after 'Laila' crossed the coast and got weakened.
June 1 is the normal date for the onset of the monsoon over Kerala, and the Department recently issued a forecast that it could set in on May 30, subject to a model error of plus or minus four days.
The monsoon has covered more areas in the Bay of Bengal region. It has advanced over some more parts of the south-west and south-east Bay, as also some parts of the east-central Bay and the remaining parts of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and the Andaman Seas.
Keywords: Cyclone Laila, South-West monsoon, cyclonic depression, IMD

- The Cafe at MBFC
A logo proposal for the cafe at Barclays, Marina Bay Financial Centre in Singapore. The concept for the cafe logo was to brand the cafe as the favorite venue for the patrons to enjoy their conversations over a cup of coffee. The color was chosen to correlate to the corporate brand. - The logo was then applied onto the environmental graphics. A string of words forms the utensils and beverages to represent the conversation throughout the dining course. The environmental graphic design was super-imposed for presentation purpose.

Adding touches of black to a neutral room adds interest and contrast. A twisted wood side table brings natural texture.
Break up all neutral rooms with graphic elements and contrast, such as the dark curvy side table, oversized pendant light and blanket.
Contrast is key to decorating with neutrals. Taupe, bright white and a dark cabinet work well together.
Do add punch to a neutral room with colorful, contemporary artwork.
Warm ivory tones and taupe will create a sophisticated space without the sterile feel.
Do use gray as a neutral! Varying different shades of a color is a great way to make a room feel cohesive without feeling flat.
Contrasting textures and materials in similar tones are a sure winner. The pop of blue adds just the right amount of color.

Though it's filmed in a Los Angeles studio with minimal exterior shots of vintage New York, Mad Men—AMC's critically acclaimed series that follows fictional Madison Avenue executives in the 1960s—is as quintessentially New York as yellow taxis and pastrami on rye. The show's themes of ambition, reinvention and success—coupled with the glamour, style and sophistication that characterized the early days of advertising—are so closely associated with New York City that the show truly could not be set elsewhere. Though the City's tastes and culture have changed since Don Draper's day—three-martini lunches and desk-side scotch cabinets are, sadly, long gone—the elegance of 1960s New York as depicted on the show has never gone out of style. To prep yourself for the show's fifth season (premiering on March 25 at 9pm EST on AMC), throw on your fedora and step back in time at these glorious relics of Mad Men–era New York, many of which are the hangouts of choice for the men and women of Sterling Cooper. (Though don't waste your time looking for 405 Madison Avenue, the purported address of the advertising agency—it doesn't exist.)

Pittsburgh Steelers 2011 Free Agents Analysis: Jonathan Scott
Pittsburgh Steelers 2011 Free Agents Analysis: Jonathan Scott
http://www.behindthesteelcurtain.com...jonathan-scott by Michael Bean on Feb 28, 2011 2:30 PM EST Happy Monday Steeler Nation! Hope your weekends were enjoyable and that you've had a chance to peruse some of the many posts published over the weekend here on BTSC. Let's start the new week with another breakdown of a Pittsburgh Steeler player whose contract expired after the 2010 season. Time to turn our attention back to the tackle position where the situation is as complicated as any on the roster. Let's try to work our way through it though with a discussion on reserve left tackle, Jonathan Scott. 2010 Salary: $545,000 The back story: Scott joined the Steelers via free agency at about this time last year. He, along with new offensive line coach Sean Kugler, arrived from Buffalo where the two had spent the 2009 season working together. Scott was thrust into the spotlight this past season when left tackle Max Starks was lost for the season. Scott would start the final nine games of the season, as well as all three playoff games for the Steelers. Scott gave up five sacks and was penalized nine times for 70 yards. Not outstanding, but not terrible numbers for a reserve filling in mid-season at one of the game's tougher positions. As the season progressed, and in the playoffs in particular, Scott elevated his game several levels. Against the New York Jets in the AFC Championship Game, Scott was great protecting Ben Roethlisberger's blind side. Same goes for his Super Bowl performance. By season's end, Scott's improvement was one of the primary reasons why the Steelers season didn't fall apart in the wake of losing their second starting tackle for the year. What I'd do: I might walk somewhat alone on this one, but I absolutely think Scott should be a part of the Steelers plans for 2011. And perhaps even a big part of the plan. Now, more so than at any other position, it's hard to predict the future of any one tackle without commenting on the other guys on the depth chart, not to mention what path the Steelers go down in April's Draft. It's all too complicated and interconnected to try to sort through here, but basically I think it would be a huge mistake to not retain Scott for the 2011 season. Why? Well, you're going to be able to re-sign the guy for fairly cheap, and you know with absolute certainty that he can play at a high level on short notice at LT. Is Scott going to make multiple Pro Bowls and anchor an offensive line? No, no he's not. But competent LTs don't grow on trees and the Steelers know what they have in Scott at this point. And quite frankly, I'm not sure the drop-off between him and Max Starks is all that pronounced. Starks may have the edge in run blocking, but I don't see that much of a difference in their pass blocking ability. The real difference between the two is how expensive they are. Starks makes about 1300% more than Scott, and quite frankly he's nowhere near that much better ability-wise. So, if the Steelers are able to draft a tackle with one of their top two picks -- a guy they believe will be a future starter in a year or two's time, then I'd personally think it would be wise to cut Starks and let Scott and the rookie battle it out in Latrobe. If the rookie doesn't look ready, then Scott plays. There's just too much money to be saved in my personal estimation to keep Starks around if the plan is to draft a bigtime left tackle this April. Now, if the Steelers aren't able to land a top prospect at LT in this year's draft, then it makes less sense to release or trade Starks. He could play the '11 season with Scott backing him up, while the Steelers wait another year to try to find Starks' long-term replacement via the draft or free agency. Only time will tell what exactly plays out, but there's absolutely no question in my mind that the Steelers should and will re-sign Jonathan Scott. Depending on the new CBA, Scott might be restricted or an unrestricted free agent. But let's assume that he'll be restricted meaning the Steelers should be able to get him signed to a one-year, $900k or so type of deal. |

i agree. Starks is by far our most overpaid player and needs replaced

Re: Pittsburgh Steelers 2011 Free Agents Analysis: Jonathan Scott
Yeah, I think we sign Scott and let Trai Essex, Willie Colon and Tony Hills walk. Then draft an OT and go with Starks, Scott, Adams, Chris Scott and the rookie....while inside will be Kemo, Pouncey, Foster, Legursky and another rookie OG.
I know that leaves 10 O linemen, but I have seen mocks that have Carimi ending up at #31...so I would plug him in at RT day 1 and Flozell gets cut in training camp. Sorry Flo.

parking ticket mistakesSubmitted by Guest23 (not verified) on Tue, 12/30/2008 - 5:34pm.
Actually, I just got a citation notice in the mail last week saying that I had an overdue ticket. Knowing I had not parked at the beach since last summer, I called & found out that the officer had keyed the wrong tag number & didn't bother checking the make & model of the car to verify.

This is a great article from First Endurance Nutrition. So often when training and racing hard, athletes lean towards low-glycemic foods, simply because it's thought to be a healthier option. But when getting energy to working muscles is the primary concern, going with simple sugars is the way to go.
From Firstendurance.com
Endurance nutrition is often the difference between a great race and a DNF. Below are five of the most popular questions we get at First Endurance.
If you have any questions that are not answered here, just drop us a note at research@firstendurance, use our twitter feed or the First Endurance facebook page.
1. Is there an optimal percentage to shoot for of calories consumed vs. calories burned during a workout?
Trying to consume the calories you burn during a workout is something that is often misunderstood. During a workout you only need to focus on replacing the glycogen you burn. Glycogen is your stored carbohydrates and typically an athlete will have approximately 2-2.5 hours of stored glycogen in their muscles and liver. Regardless of what you consume, your body will transform it into working glucose-which is your working energy. In other words, if you consume maltodextrin OR protein while exercising, your body will convert it into glucose. While exercising you burn a combination of carbohydrates and fat. At a slow pace it's mostly fat and at a pace near or above your aerobic threshold it's mostly carbohydrates. By knowing this, you can 'guestimate' how much you need to replace. If you want to know exactly how much you need to replace you can undergo a substrate utilization test.

Newt Gingrich upped his attacks against President Obama today over his administration's requirement that some religious hospitals offer birth control under the new health care law.
Gingrich's comments come after a week of outrage from the Catholic Church and his fellow GOP presidential candidates over the policy, which mandates that religious hospitals, charities and schools include co-pay-free birth control in their health care plans.
"This is a tremendous infringement of religious liberty," Newt Gingrich said on NBC's "Meet the Press." "Every time you turn around the secular government is shrinking the rights of religious institutions in America."
While the policy was proposed in August, the issue resurfaced last week after Catholic churches across America read letters from the church's leadership last Sunday condemning the administration's policy.
Domestic Policy Council Director Cecilia Muñoz pushed back against the church's letter, saying the policy does not force anyone to buy our use contraception.
"This new law will save money for millions of Americans," Muñoz wrote Wednesday in a White House blog post. "But more importantly, it will ensure Americans nationwide get the high-quality care they need to stay healthy. The Obama Administration is committed to both respecting religious beliefs and increasing access to important preventive services."
The church's letters came in response to a Jan. 20 announcement that Catholic hospitals where the majority of employees are not Catholic will be required under the new law to provide free contraception.
"The fact is what you're saying is there cannot be a genuine Catholic hospital," said Gingrich, who converted to Catholicism in 2009. "It will have to be subordinated to a secular government."
Gingrich, also appearing today on CBS's "Face the Nation," added that the policy proved that the Obama administration was at "war" with the Catholic church and launching "the most outrageous assault on religious freedom in American history."
The former House speaker said policies such as this prove that Obama is "so unacceptable" that he will support his rival Mitt Romney in the general election if the former Massachusetts governor is the Republican nominee.
"I believe President Obama is such a direct threat to the future of this country that I will support the Republican nominee because I believe that President Obama is a disaster," Gingrich said.
But with the primary season still raging on, Gingrich vowed that his campaign was nowhere near over.
The former speaker finished a distant second behind Romney Saturday in the Nevada caucuses, but said today on "Meet the Press" that he will be in "much more favorable territory" by Super Tuesday, when his home state of Georgia goes to the polls.
Gingrich vowed that "by the time Texas is over, we'll be very, very competitive in delegate count."
Texas's primary is currently set for April 3, but a Supreme Court legal battle over the Lone Star state's redistricting maps threatens to delay the primary until later in the year.

LPD Sergeant Brian McNabb Reinstated
State Attorney Jerry Hill issued Sgt. Brian McNabb a letter on September 16, 2013 stating that his office would no longer accept testimony from him in the 10th District unless he submitted to a polygraph. The City has reviewed the matter in greater detail and weighed the various options, legal considerations and potential outcomes, and as a result, has reached an agreement to retain him as a certified law enforcement officer with the LPD.
In his present capacity, Sgt. McNabb serves as a training officer for the department and coordinates the Mini-Academy, (in which he also provides instruction in the areas of physical fitness, weapons and other related programs, which does not include court testimony. It is very unlikely he would be called upon to testify let alone be the sole officer who would be called upon to testify in a criminal matter. As such, there is little risk in him having to be called to court which could potentially impact his ability to testify in the 10th District.
The agreement the City of Lakeland has reached with both Sgt. McNabb and the West Central Florida Police Benevolent Association (WCFPBA) is that while he will be returned to normal status, the Department has the right to take into consideration, the effect of the letter to the extent it remains in effect, when and if he becomes eligible for any assignment, transfer or promotion wherein the requirement to testify may be implicated. While this criteria cannot be exercised arbitrarily or capriciously by the Chief of Police, both McNabb and the WCFPBA have agreed that they will not pursue an administrative appeal of any denial that is made in such a manner.
Chief Womack state that the agreement reached with city management, herself and the WCFPBA represents the best possible outcome for all parties involved in light of the particular circumstances.
Attachment: Letter Agreement signed by Sgt. McNabb, Chief Womack and the WCFPBA and the letter received from the State Attorney's Office.
Media inquiries should be directed to 863.583-2357.
The Lakeland City Commission asked me to schedule a private meeting with State Attorney Jerry Hill to discuss the status of Sergeant Brian McNabb and to explore ways to improve the relationship between the State Attorney's Office and the Lakeland Police Department. I believe the City of Lakeland and the State Attorney's Office share a common interest in protecting our citizens and trust we can find an acceptable path to achieve that end.
It was and continues to be my expectation based upon the direction that I received from the Lakeland City Commission, that I would be meeting with Mr. Hill in private in the spirit of trying to resolve outstanding issues. I was surprised when I found out late this afternoon that instead of a private meeting between the two of us, the media was also invited to attend without my knowledge.
I was under the impression that the meeting would between the two of us in an effort to explore options regarding Sergeant McNabb as well as other ways to improve relationships between the two agencies. Similar to challenging collective bargaining negotiations, acceptable solutions often are achieved in less formal settings between parties. My experience is that such an approach allows the principals the opportunity to frankly explore potential common ground as opposed to what is said in the formal trappings of a very public session.
Sergeant McNabb was issued a letter from the State Attorney stating that his office would no longer accept his testimony, which essentially is a career ending letter for a Police Officer. Based on the results of the LPD's Internal Investigation on Sgt. McNabb, the City desired the opportunity to discuss his status and the possibility of him testifying in the future.
It was not my intent nor do I believe the intent of the Lakeland City Commission to have me meet with State Attorney Jerry Hill in a public environment. Accordingly, I believe I that it would be prudent to seek further direction from the City Commission on how to proceed. We agreed that tomorrow's meeting would be postponed and I have reiterated to Mr. Hill the City's desire to have me meet with him at least initially in private to find solutions to our challenges. To that end, I am fully prepared to meet with Mr. Hill at our earliest convenience and have asked him to reconsider his position on the format of such a meeting.
LAKELAND, FL (October 31, 2013) - On Monday, November 18th the City of Lakeland will host a Community Meeting addressing gang related issues. The meeting will take place at the Coleman Busch Building from 6 - 8:30 p.m. There have been a number of gang related shootings in the last few months and the purpose of the meeting is to identify the steps needed to curb gang membership within the community.
Mayor Gow Fields said, "We need to have an approach to identify and reduce the number of individuals who look at gangs as the answer to their problems. Many of the youth today are migrating to this kind of activity and sadly they recognize gangs as a type of family."
The Community Meeting will include the following:
· An overview of gangs by the Lakeland Police Department. This overview will include the changing gang demographics and membership activity.
· Community understanding of what to look for to identify gang behavior.
· Identifying community resources and understanding positive community based programs.
· Identify the gaps of what is missing in community programs as well as listing alternatives.
· Start a plan and dialogue needed to move forward.
Assistant Chief of Police Mike Link said, "In Lakeland we have 260 documented gang members and associates. Right now we have 46 listed gangs. Nine of those are considered more active and pop-up on our radar much more frequently that the others."
Fields said, "This is a war and we don't have enough soldiers of good influence on the street. Hopefully, this meeting will be a start so the community can see the seriousness of the issue." He added, "We need to work together in solving this problem."
The City of Lakeland asks the community to attend this important meeting as we work toward solutions to curb gang membership and identify resources needed to help reduce gang violence. For more information on gang activity in Florida, please visit www.floridagangreduction.com.
On November 1, 2013 the Lakeland Police Department will take part in the 2nd Global Police Tweet-a-thon. Last March the department participated in the first ever Global Tweet-a-thon with over 200 law enforcement agencies in 10 countries, speaking 23 languages! During the 24 hour period the participants in the tweet-a-thon sent and shared 48,482 tweets. This time we are hoping to increase the number of participating agencies and tweets. Why participate? The Lakeland Police Department wants to help promote the use of social media in policing and get the message out to our community, and beyond, about police work and the issues officers face in the performance of their job. We want to connect with our community and give you information in the most effective, efficient manner. We currently use our Twitter, Facebook, Nixle and website to provide information directly to our community. During the Tweet-a-thon, agencies will use the hashtag #poltwt. So, on November 1st, follow @LakelandPD as we embark on this 2nd Global Police Tweet-a-thon. This time we will also have Sergeant Gary Gross and Captain Rick Taylor tweeting, so you can follow them as well, use @GaryBGross and @CaptRTaylor.

Playing a guest role on a TV show can be one of the most difficult acting jobs: While series regulars have the luxury of building a role over time, a guest star has to drop in and create a fully fledged character, sometimes with only a few lines.
Dawn Steinberg, executive VP of Talent and Casting at Sony Pictures Television, which produces such shows as "The Blacklist" and "Masters of Sex," compares it to visiting a household. "You're walking into a family dinner, the table has already been set," she notes. "And it's your job to sit at the table and pass the turkey, pass the vegetables, and fit in. Whether you're the villain, the good guy, the uncle, the aunt, the doctor, the lawyer, your job is to fit in with an already established cast, and that's really hard."
Even when a recognizable name is cast in a role, one of the most important factors is that they not distract from the show. Steinberg says that on "The Blacklist," actors must be able to hold their own opposite James Spader's brilliant former agent Raymond "Red" Reddington.
"We have a saying on 'The Blacklist,' and that is: All roads lead to Red," she says. "That actor has to be really up to the task of having scenes with James Spader. And we never want to overshadow the storyline and the world we are creating. You want the actor to disappear into the role."
Sometimes the right actor is a recognizable face: Comedian Andrew "Dice" Clay was cast on "The Blacklist" as a plastic surgeon after his representation pitched him to the show. "He had just come out in the Woody Allen movie, he was in New York where the show shoots, and it all happened very organically," Steinberg says. "A couple of us were nervous that he might take away from the show, but it really worked."
(Illustration by Wesley Allsbrook for Variety)
CBS' "The Good Wife" has certainly seen its share of famous faces -- star Julianna Margulies jokes that "it's rare when I show up to set and am working with less than two Tony Award winners." Creators and executive producers Robert King and Michelle King say casting comes about in several different ways. "Sometimes they come to us," the Kings tell Variety in an email. "Or Julianna meets a friend at a party -- Matthew Perry -- and asks him to come on board. Or our casting director, Mark Saks, sees an actor in a play and asks him to do an episode or two with us. And sometimes we write with an actor in mind (Michael J. Fox)."
Some of their casting coups in the first season included Denis O'Hare as a liberal judge and Martha Plimpton as a pregnant lawyer. "We've been so lucky in casting since then, it's hard to talk about any specific coup," they note. "I am amazed at the actors we get."
Carrie Audino and Laura Schiff are the Emmy-winning casting directors tasked with populating Don Draper's world on "Mad Men." "We don't ever cast for the sake of fame," says Audino. "But sometimes there are people who are famous who are right for the part."
Neve Campbell appeared in the season seven premiere as a woman who flirts with Don Draper on a flight. "Neve was just right for it," she says. "She wanted to do the show, and it was a perfect confluence of things coming together." Schiff says it was a similar situation when the pair cast Julia Ormond as Megan Draper's mother -- a role that nabbed her an Emmy nomination.
Though "Modern Family" has certainly had its share of big names drop by, Emmy-winning casting director Jeff Greenberg says they've since become more selective. "Early days in the series, we had a lot of names on, and there was kind of a backlash, like, oh, is this turning into 'Will and Grace?'" he admits. "The show didn't need to rely on guest stars, and we really want to choose the right person for the part."
Recent episodes have seen Fred Willard as Phil Dunphy's equally guileless father, and a trio of hilarious comics -- Fred Armisen, Stephen Merchant and Patton Oswalt. The role of a butler was offered to Merchant, but while the show dealt with his visa problems, a list of alternate names was made up that included Armisen. Someone mentioned that Armisen would be perfect for another role in the same episode, so he was ultimately cast as an ex-boyfriend of Mitchell's.
Because "Modern Family" is such a hit, Greenberg admits there is no shortage of names looking to be cast, but the writers don't write for an actor. "Jesse Eisenberg had been very proactive about saying he'd like to do the show when he ran into people and having his agent check in," Greenberg notes. "And we finally found the perfect role for him as Mitch and Cam's neighbor, and he was wonderful."
With "Mad Men," every actor -- no matter how famous -- must audition. And it's become common for an actor to not book a role, but be called back again and eventually land the right part. Take Harry Hamlin, who earned an Emmy nod for his turn as ad exec Jim Cutler. "We brought him in for a different part at first," Schiff reveals. "And Matt Weiner said, 'I think I have something for him coming up. Keep him in mind for Cutler.' So we did."
Of course, the highest compliment is when a guest star becomes a series regular. The key to being asked back? "Doing a job well, having good chemistry, and really contributing," Steinberg says. Amir Arison, who plays computer specialist Aram Mojtabai on "The Blacklist," was recently promoted to series regular. "He was brought on as just a guest star, and the producers kept writing him in," Steinberg enthuses. "I love that. I love when good actors get their shot."

Proper Sausages Now Offers Proper Pickles, The All-American For Your July Fourth Cookout
If you're planning your Fourth of July cookout, you might just want to make a pit-stop at Proper Sausages in Miami Shores.Courtesy Proper Sausages Proper Sausages need Proper Pickles.
The little sausage shop run by Freddy and Danielle Kaufmann that offers house-made artisan sausages from quality meats and spices, fresh bacon, craft beer, wine, and other picnic staples now sells house made pickles and mustards.
See also: Best Sausage Miami 2014 - Proper Sausages
Having a major pickle obsession, I stopped in to get a jar and have a chat with Freddy Kaufmann, who was working the counter. He showed me his selection, which will change with the season. For instance, the few jars of pickled ramps left in the cold case ($9) won't be replenished since they're out of season. Instead, Kaufmann might pickle some cauliflower.
Kaufmann said he decided to make pickles out of necessity because most of the pickles he's had in South Florida were either too dill or too garlicky. "It's not that I don't like garlic, but if there's too much it stays with you." The shop's Proper Pickles ($9.50) are seasoned with crushed red pepper, dill seed, coriander, and black pepper. They're pleasantly sour and have a bit of bite to them.
English onions come with a warning that they might be "too strong for the sensitive American palate," and are best served as a foil to Proper's rich sausages -- or as a side for a cheese plate. Also available are spicy pickled green beans ($6.50) -- a staple bloody mary garnish in New Orleans. Kaufmann added that the beans would work equally well in a martini. Photo by Laine Doss

I've got my new Glock 19. Love it. 100 rounds through it, which makes only 125 rounds I've ever fired. I'm a newbie and I 'd like any help offered. My mag holds 15 rounds. I can definitely get those 15 rounds into the mag, but the last 1 or 2 are awfully tough to pack. Will this become easier over time? Does it cause any problems getting that first round to chamber? BTW, just got my Insight M3X tactical light in the mail today...fun! My GunVault 1000-DLX should be coming soon. Then I'll feel a bit more comfortable leaving one in the pipe right next to my bed.

If it gets much easier over time it means your spring is taking a "set", and that's not necessarily a good thing. If it becomes too weak, the last rounds may not feed properly. There are two schools of thought on leaving mags loaded, and the devisiveness is almost as strong as the AR vs. AK debate...I am of the opinion that leaving a spring compressed increases the likelihood that it will fail eventually. But, to each his own...
Thanks for your answer. It does make sense that, if the spring becomes easy, then THAT would be a problem, not the other way around. Good. The other thing you said boggles me. If the only way to stay armed is to keep a (or multiple) magazine(s) full and ready, are you saying that one should own many more magazines than needed at any one time and rotate them? My first instructor taught that if one uses the same magazine each day, with the same round loaded first each day, then that first round will eventually misfire (because of the minuscule but additive damage done to a round upon chambering). So I am already keeping track of rotating the first round. Should I also buy 2 or more extra mags to keep rotating them? I'm cheap so I haven't bought more than the 2 my Glock came with. I'm thinking 30 rounds should be sufficient in ANY problem little 'ol me might encounter. Thanks.
I always unload my mags at the end of a day of carrying. I have had the same mags in service for over 15 years doing this with no noticeable change in spring tension. Rotating the first round sounds like a good idea, but if it doesn't appear to be damaged and it chambers, I don't see a problem, since once it is in the chamber it will fire unless the primer has been damaged somehow. At home I rely on a HiPoint .40 carbine for home defense, so I don't need a loaded handgun laying around, and my mags springs therfore are not being stressed for the guns I may actually depend on to save my life. Wolf makes replacement springs for almost every gun made, so it may not be a concern for some. Many people buy spare mags to supplement their factory mags - I have never had a need for more than two mags for my handguns, and I don't carry spares when I carry, but again, to each his own. I live in a rural setting. If I lived in NYC and had permission to carry there, I would probably carry a bandoleer also. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't foresee a need to have more than 7 to 10 rounds - if I do, I have made a more serious mistake of being where I shouldn't be...
I don't unload my mags every day. But after a couple of months, my mags don't have that tight problem anymore. It must just be a very tight spring that loosens a bit in time.
I know this is a little late to be chiming in, but here goes. I also own a G19. My two 15-rd mags that came with the gun still load as 'crisply' as the day I got the gun. I've probably put close to 3,500 - 4,000 rounds through mine, and i see no change in spring tension. Just for kicks and grins I bought four 17-rd mags with a +2 extension (G17 mags, Scherer +2 extensions) and I also have seen no change in spring tension on those. I normally keep my 19 rounders loaded with FMJ and use them at the range, and my 15 rounders loaded with JHP for home defense duty.
I have a different pistol entirely BUT I have 3 magazines, and every once in a while my gun jams. So I marked the mags and sure enough its just one of them, the oldest one, the one that the previous owner kept loaded all the time, THAT one causes all kinds of chaos. I thought I needed a new gun, nope just a new mag.
I always keep a loaded magazine with my pistol, but I never fully load it and I swap it out regularly.
I guess I'm lucky?/unlucky? not to be permitted to keep mags loaded when off the range

Basically I am thinking about doing an AAL in the rear and putting adjustable Bilstein 5100s in front and the replacing the rear shocks with 5100s at the same time as the AAL.
1. Are the 3 leaf progressive AALs worth the extra money over the single AALs?
2. Will I need longer brake lines for the lift in the back or front?
3. Will I have any alignment issues? The front will probably be set on 1.75. Whatever setting will make my truck level.
4. How about driveline vibrations? Do they occur with the 1.5" lift the AAL adds?
Thanks for your responses.

Fantasy Baseball - 2008 Cincinnatti Reds
Written by Mike Chiari
Published: 03 February 2008
While the Reds may have been disappointing as a unit during the 2007 season, they had many high impact fantasy players perform at high levels. While they had plenty of offensive contributors, the Reds pitching was suspect at best. It seems as though the Reds did a nice job of addressing their problem areas as they added pitchers Edinson Volquez and Francisco Cordero during the off-season. The fact remains, however, that you'll find the bulk of the Reds' fantasy stars amongst their positional players. For a team that has been so stagnant in recent seasons, the Reds certainly have their share of talented fantasy players, albeit some inconsistent ones.
Top Tier:
Brandon Phillips (2B):
A second baseman with 30 homerun power? Sign me up. Brandon Phillips may very well have been the cream of the crop at his position in '07. In 2006 he showed glimpses of his great talent; enough to make the Indians look foolish for giving up on him. He took his game to another level in 2007, however. Phillips ended with a .288 average, 30 HR's, 94 RBI, 32 SB's, and 107 R's. Any player with 30/30 potential deserves consideration in the early rounds of a fantasy draft, especially when it's at a traditionally scarce position. Now that Phillips has shown he can be one of the best at his position, it's time to see if he can dispel any thoughts of 2007 being a fluke.
Second Tier:
Adam Dunn (OF):
The best thing about Adam Dunn is that you know what you're going to get. Dunn's had 4 straight seasons of at least 40 HR's and 160 strikeouts. He's not going to get you a high average, although his 2007 average was better than usual (.264), but you'll live with it since he has such great power numbers (40 HR's and 106 RBI in '07). As if his power numbers weren't solid enough, he added 101 runs scored and sprinkled in 9 SB's. Dunn won't surprise you, so if you own him, I'd be sure to have some guys who can who can help to cancel out his poor batting average.
Ken Griffey Jr. (OF):
See what he can do with a full season? Griffey showed that he's still got it, even at the age of 38. Griffey missed only 18 games all season, the healthiest he's been over his entire stint with the Reds. Griffey put up a decent .277 average with 30 HR's and 93 RBI in '07. He was a valuable late round selection in many fantasy teams, as he proved himself worthy of being a fantasy starter all season. While there will always be questions about his durability, especially since he isn't getting any younger, Griffey showed that he can still produce at a very high level when healthy. I'd proceed with caution, but he's definitely worth taking a chance on.
Aaron Harang (SP):
The lone reliable pitcher on the Reds' staff in 2007 was undoubtedly Harang. Over the past two seasons, Aaron Harang has been the model of consistently. His 2006 and 2007 stats were virtually identical. He won 16 games in each season, had an ERA in the 3.7's, threw over 230 innings, and struck out over 215 batters. While Harang's ERA isn't spectacular, it's his strikeout numbers that make him an excellent fantasy option. Harang seldom gets hurt, so he's a safe pick in the upper middle portion of your fantasy drafts. Since Harang will be pitching for an improved team this season, I expect his numbers to get even better. I wouldn't be surprised if he won 20 games in '08.
Francisco Cordero (RP):
Cordero returned to his form of 2004 and 2005 last season, shutting the door on opposing teams 44 times for the upstart Brewers. His impressive '07 season was enough to land him a big contract from the pitching deprived Reds. While some may argue that his 44 save season had something to do with it being a contract year, I'd have to respectably disagree. Cordero has shown that he can be a lockdown closer in the past, so he may be just what the Reds needed. The Reds are very gifted offensively, so I'd expect them to get a lot of leads. Cordero should get his share of save opportunities because of it. I see no reason why Cordero can't rack up at least 40 saves once again in '08.
Third Tier:
Edwin Encarnacion (3B):
E.E. put up solid numbers in his second season of regular big league at bats, but he didn't make the jump that many thought he would in '07. Encarnacion accumulated a .289 average and tallied 16 HR's, 76 RBI, and 8 SB's in 2007. The problem is that his numbers improved negligibly over 2006, even with 100 extra at bats. Encarnacion has shown power at every level, so I'd expect his homerun total to increase, especially since he'll be playing half his games in the launching platform that is The Great American Ballpark. Not to mention, Encarnacion has plenty of good hitters around him, and protecting him in the lineup. He should see plenty of good pitchers in '08 and could easily earn a second tier grade by the end of the season.
Alex Gonzalez (SS):
While Gonzalez may not be the sexiest fantasy pick, he does have nice pop at a position that traditionally lacks it. Gonzalez knocked 16 out of the park in '07 and added 55 RBI, along with a decent .272 average. In a pinch, he would be an alright pick-up late in the draft. I wouldn't suggest starting him unless you've really missed the boat at the shortstop position, but 20 HR's in '08 isn't out of the question considering the ballpark he'll be playing in and the lineup he'll be a part of.
Question Marks:
Ryan Freel (OF, 2B, 3B):
Ryan Freel was a reliable fantasy contributor as a utility man in 2006. He swiped 37 bags and didn't hurt you with his .271 average. While he may not have been a stud by any means, he was a nice depth player for the back of your fantasy team's bench. Freel's value was set to skyrocket in '07, as he was supposed to take over the starting job in centerfield. Freel, however, floundered when in the lineup, and was also injured for a large portion of the season. Freel looks to regain his starting spot in center after the departure of Josh Hamilton, but the question remains whether he can be more effective than his .245 average, 3 HR's, 16 RBI, and 15 SB's. If he can stay healthy I'd expect him to be able to steal at least 35 bases, but he won't really be worth much outside of that. He's worth a late round flier in a deep league at best.
Great Debate:
Bronson Arroyo (SP):
Big things were expected from Arroyo in fantasy circles in '07 following his breakthrough performance in the 2006 season; his first as a Red. While he started off well, he couldn't buy a win in the early stages of the 2007 season, setting the stage for what would become a frustrating and disappointing season for both himself and his fantasy owners. Arroyo achieved career bests in wins (14), ERA (3.29), and strikeouts (184), during the 2006 season. As miserable as Arroyo's '07 season was, he was solid down he stretch, lowering his ERA to 4.23. His 9-15 record was nothing to write home about, but I would expect that to improve, just as the Reds seem to have as a team during the off-season. While Arroyo doesn't have a large sample size of success during his career, the talent is there. He's worth taking a risk on, but not too early.
Prospect Watch:
Homer Bailey (SP):
The Reds look like they'll have an infusion of young pitching talent in '08, and it all starts with the crown jewel of the Reds minor league system, Homer Bailey. It would seem as though Bailey will start the season in the Reds' rotation, so he'll get every chance to succeed. Bailey saw limited action in '07, going 4-2 with a 5.76 ERA. The Reds made sure to keep Bailey on a pitch count which hindered his ability to perform in a way. Bailey has miles upon miles of talent and if he can realize even a shred of that talent in 2008, he'll be in the running for the NL Rookie of the Year Award.
Edinson Volquez (SP):
Volquez has seen a few innings here and there at the major league level over the past 3 seasons. He showed his great potential in 6 starts with the Rangers in '07. The Reds obviously think very highly of him, as they moved the infinitely gifted Josh Hamilton to get him. While I don't expect Volquez to have a huge impact this season, he should find his way into the rotation and get a fair shot to contribute. He's worth a look late in NL only leagues, but I don't see him really breaking out until '09.
