Handle-shaping without electricity
I've made and shaped something like twenty fly rod grips the old-fashioned way. After the epoxy between the single rings of the rubber band-compressed handle has dried, I cover the adjoining reel seat and the blank above the handle with several wraps of hasking tape, for protection against slips. Then I sit with the butt section in my lap. I start with a coarse wood file (which cuts away any protruding epoxy in a stroke or two) and rasp away, turning the blank after every three strokes. I work free-form, stopping frequently to test the feel of the emerging grip. (You can remove more cork, but it's hard to put it back.) You can shape any style of grip you want, including those that include "burl" (compressed wood chip) rings and custom indentations for thumbs or palm pads.
When you've got it near the proper size, switch to sandpaper wrapped around a paperback novel; first coarse, then finer paper. I can't match the polished-woodlike finish of commercial grips, but what I end up with is smooth, good-looking, and comfortable.
I also use preformed grips. I have no preference, but some of my favorite rods have manually shaped grips as described above.
|U-40 rod bond's (IMHO) the best epoxy to bond reel seats to blanks. Use a scotchbrite pad to scuff the area up under the cork/seat.

Thanks Jim
I'm going to give this a try.
|Use the threaded rod and washers to really crank it down. Most of the epoxy will sqeeze out.

Thanks Jim and Flytyer - that's a great help.
Is epoxy the best glue to use on the cork? I thought it might be a bit hard when it comes to shaping the handle.
|I highly recommend shaping the cork on the blank. Glue it up in a treaded jig, scrape off the excess epoxy before it dries. Don't use 5 min epoxy, use the 2hr stuff, it's waterproof. let it dry for a day or so, ream it and fit it to the blank. After mounting the reel seat, load up the cork with epoxy and slide it right down the blank, wipe down the blank with no lint paper towels. let it dry for a day or so. Now shape your grip. The problem with shaping the grip before placing it on the blank is you can get an off center hole. Just the way I was taught, I'm sure the threaded rod in the drill would work.
You can also get some threaded rod, place it into the drill, and then add a nut and washer to each end of the cork to hold the cork while shaping the grip. As you mount the cork to the threaded rod, put some glue on the cork faces to glue the grip together and when you are finished shaping it, let it set a while for the glue to set up and dry. Then ream the center of the grip to fit the blank and glue it on.
Either this method or the one JimW wrote about works well, and neither is expensive either.
You sure can use a drill. I used a 4' pc of 2x6 for the base. Put 1' pc of 2x4 on one end and mount the drill to it with large hose clamps, like the kind used for duct work. A couple of pc's of all thread some more scrap wood that is drilled for the rods and some roller blade wheels or sliding door wheels, the kind that come on a bracket. Use some nuts to adjust the height of the jig so that it is in line with your drill chuck. Make sure you put a good bit of masking tape on the blank where the wheels come in contact with it. Put a 6" 3/8 dowel in the chuck, turn on the drill and shap the dowel so it fits in the blank, tape it on (duct tape works well here) Now you're ready to shape that grip.
Good luck.

Cork rod grips
I am thinking about custom building a rod for myself and I was wondering if anyone can advise me the best way to construct and turn/shape the cork grip. I thought that I could maybe somehow use my electric drill to spin the rod but I need a method of holding the rod whilst it spins and also a method of safely holding the blank in the drill chuck. Does anyone know how this can be done. As this may be a one off, I didn't want to buy a lot of expensive tools and jigs. Thanks.

Category: Crabs and Shrimp view all from this category
Description A species of krill that lives in the North Atlantic Ocean. It is an important component of the zooplankton, providing food for whales, fish and birds. (In the Southern Ocean, Antarctic krill Euphausia superba fills a similar role.)
Also known as euphausiids, these small invertebrates are found in all oceans of the world. The common name krill comes from the Norwegian word krill, meaning "young fry of fish", which is also often attributed to other species of fish.
Krill are considered an important trophic level connection—near the bottom of the food chain—because they feed on phytoplankton and to a lesser extent zooplankton, converting these into a form suitable for many larger animals for whom krill makes up the largest part of their diet. In the Southern Ocean, one species, the Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba, makes up an estimated biomass of over 500,000,000 tonnes (490,000,000 long tons; 550,000,000 short tons), roughly twice that of humans. Of this, over half is eaten by whales, seals, penguins, squid and fish each year, and is replaced by growth and reproduction. Most krill species display large daily vertical migrations, thus providing food for predators near the surface at night and in deeper waters during the day.
Commercial fishing of krill is done in the Southern Ocean and in the waters around Japan. The total global harvest amounts to 150,000–200,000 tonnes (150,000–200,000 long tons; 170,000–220,000 short tons) annually, most of this from the Scotia Sea. Most of the krill catch is used for aquaculture and aquarium feeds, as bait in sport fishing, or in the pharmaceutical industry. In Japan and Russia, krill is also used for human consumption and is known as okiami in Japan.
Habitat Open ocean.
Range New England, Mid-Atlantic, Florida.

Stout earns major book award
Posted August 9, 2004; 04:48 p.m.
Professor Jeffrey Stout has won an American Academy of Religion award for his book, "Democracy and Tradition."
Published this year by Princeton University Press, the book won in the category of constructive-reflective studies. It examines religious and ethical dimensions of democratic culture.
The award, one of four announced by the academy, recognizes new scholarly publications that make significant contributions to the study of religion. Books are selected based on their distinctive originality, intelligence, creativity and importance as well as on how they affect the examination, understanding and interpretation of religion.
Stout, a member of the Princeton religion faculty since 1975, also has written "Ethics After Babel: The Languages of Morals and Their Discontents" and "The Flight From Authority: Religion, Morality and the Quest for Autonomy." A contributing editor of the Journal of Religious Ethics, he currently is working on a book on religion and critical thought.
The award will be presented at the academy's annual meeting Nov. 20 in San Antonio, Texas. Founded in 1909, the learned society and professional association has 8,000 members.

Breaking: Bush commutes sentences of Ramos and Compean; Update: Will be released on March 20
posted at 12:59 pm on January 19, 2009 by Allahpundit
Just across the AP wire, a gift to the base on his way out the door. Stand by for updates.
Update: Politico put the odds of it happening at 3-1. The major pardons still to come: Libby and CIA interrogators.
Update: WND noted last week that they were under consideration. The difference between a pardon and a commutation:
Rodgers said the former agents apparently are not eligible for a pardon, which would nullify the punishment. But they might be eligible for a commutation, which would result in a reduction of their sentences.
"It could be very possible that the pardon attorney may recommend to President Bush that Ramos and Compean's sentences might be limited to the time they have already served," Eichler said.
They've been in prison since January 2007.
Update: You can thank the Texas congressional delegation for this, probably. All 34 members signed a letter to Bush last week requesting the commutation.
Update: Even the U.S. Attorney who convicted them thought the punishment didn't fit the crime.
Mr. Sutton has stood by the convictions but questioned the sentences.
"The only legitimate question, I think a legitimate question, is: 'Is the punishment too harsh?' I have always said the punishment in this case was harsh," Mr. Sutton said on Nov. 14.
Update: Here's the White House statement. They're guilty as charged; it's a simple question of the sentence having been too draconian. Hence the commutation instead of a pardon.
Bush didn't pardon the men for their crimes, but decided instead to commute their prison sentences because he believed they were excessive and that they had already suffered the loss of their jobs, freedom and reputations, a senior administration official said.
The action by the president, who believes the border agents received fair trials and that the verdicts were just, does not diminish the seriousness of their crimes, the official said.
Update: Fox News says their sentences will expire now on March 20; they'd been facing terms of more than 10 years each. I'm looking for an explanation for the two-month delay.

Let's e-play "e-count the e-references" at this Rational Press Release My favorite: "e-software". Blthhhhh.
Speaking of Rational, due to the moronic license tracking software Rose 2000 is using now, I can't bring work home anymore. This manager doesn't allow licenses to be checked out to laptops and checked back in again in the morning. Folks are forced to spend extra money for a "fixed" license intead of a "floating" license. So I spent the last couple days looking for other UML modeling tools.
This has led me to the Argo/UML package, which I assume everyone else in the universe already knows about and is using. I haven't actually got this up and running on my Linux box, but it looks really sweet under Windows. I love the cognitive support stuff. I hope it eventually supports the ability to extend this support so you can pop up my own warnings ! It doesn't seem to have any sort of Corba backend to compete with Rose's REI, or C++ code generation, but all things in good time, I suppose. The pwan whole heartedly supports the Argo/UML project, and hopes to make good use of it in the months to follow !
Other news from the pwan is that the bison test coverage script has fit the wall. I got the script to run so it was covering the parser states like I wanted, getting a little more than 600 test sentances spit out, but it turns out a lot of them don't actually parse in OCL. I've already typed way too much here, so I'm not going to go into why, but it looks like to do this script right, I'm going to have to ignore the .output file, and actually go in and work off those arrays in the ocl_parser.c++ output from bison. I'm not looking forward to this, so I'm working on the documentation a little. Eventually I've got to start writing the type-checking code....
As for the physicall world, I've got a security system installed in car, and no one's stolen it yet, so I'm relatively happy. The job situation is still up in the air though. I talked to someone from a project in another department, but that project is steeped in Microsoft "solutions" that feel wrong. I think the long term solution is to look to another company.
Thanks to the folks you certified my as an apprentice !

Perry County here. I live in the middle of Hoosier National Forest and every time I try to hunt public ground, another "hunter" seems to mess it up.
Plenty of hunting going on in Southern Indiana for sure. I now have to hunt private land and even then people have a bad tendency to trespass. I get tired of it. I know it isn't most hunters, but there are quite a few with no respect for other hunters or property lines.
On a lighter note. I have the itch. Bad. I am hunting some private ground this year that does not border any public land at all. Hopefully I can have a nice relaxing hunt without some dufus hooting every 5 minutes all day long.
So, count 3 here. One hunting buddy and one son. Maybe a daughter this year too, we'll see.
Yea, I know it is a whiny post, but doesn't anyone else ever get tired of having their hunt messed up?

Not much I can say about this bill except there is one provision in it that was long overdue.
It is called Marks Law and is named after Mark Davies an EMT that I graduated EMT school with, worked and responded to calls with and who was tragically shot and killed responding to a 911 call.
The killer was deemed mentally incompetent and received a sentence of 12 years.
The law now says if you kill an EMT while he is responding to a call and your convicted it is mandatory sentence of life without parole.
Long overdue.

I disagree. I don't think this is going to work out well at all. The last of our manufacturing jobs are protected via unions. Without them, they'd all already be overseas. What this is going to do is force out these union guys making a decent wage and getting good benefits, and allow these companies to hire less-skilled workers at much less the cost. This wouldn't be bad if it meant that the prices of their products were going to come down too, but we know that's not going to happen. All this will do is effectively increase the profit margin. Corporate greed at it's finest...
also, this is very telling of the times we are in. one month ago you would of thought the republican party was dead after being bitch slapped in the election. here we are a month later and the REPUBLICAN governor and house in michigan (one of the biggest union supporting states) is going to put an end to much of the teeth unions have. this just proves that the country is far more conservative than the pundits would have you believe.
Unions are a natural by product of a capitalist system. If you're going to engender a society where everything is commoditized, then the worker will eventually see their own skills and labor as a commodity and look for the best leverage points to maximize their wages, or personal profit if you will.
It seems contradictory to me for laizze faire types to bemoan the influence of unions when all unions are doing is using the same strategies as those who employ them... strategies those laizze fair types endorse with a shrug and a "what can you do? It's capitalism."
Like Voter ID laws, which sound great in theory but in practice have a very different goal, the Right to Work movement is really only a tool to break the influence of unions and thus make wages and working conditions worse. I completely understand why businesses want it, but the workers who endorse it strike me mainly as a very scared and weak group of people, mostly without useful skills, who thanks to the direct efforts of their employers have come to see themselves in direct competition with workers in Mexico and China rather than having rights and power of their own. The dynamic is really not unlike a woman who sees herself as so unattractive she'll grovel at the feet of a man who beats her.
Unions have been a great boon to the people of this country and all workers, whether unionized or not, have benefited from their efforts. It's not an accident that the decrease of their influence has coincided exactly with the drop in wages adjusted for inflation.
nobody is denying that unions play an important part on workers (especially industrial) in this country. however, employees shouldnt be required to be in a union. unions have evolved in the last 50 years. they have become political organizations who by and large look out for the union boss's and not the employees. as an employee, i should have the OPTION to be in a union or not.
public employee unions are a different story, i dont think employees that are funded by taxpayers should be allowed to hold the taxpaying citizen hostage.
Also, from the union's point of view, why should you benefit from the fee increases and workplace improvements they negotiate for without paying for it? Lawyers, negotiators and lobbyists aren't free.
Why should the employees of the government be afforded less rights than anyone else?public employee unions are a different story, i dont think employees that are funded by taxpayers should be allowed to hold the taxpaying citizen hostage.
Nothing beats having the ability to fire people.
"Politics is the Art of Looking for Trouble, Finding it Everywhere, Diagnosing it Incorrectly, and Applying the Wrong Remedies".
i know what you are saying, but that should be up to the employee if he wants to support the union. many conservative people dont want to be in unions because they dont agree wtih their politics. this will keep them honest. also, dont pretend that unions are the most efficent in regards to a quality workforce. in most unions, if employee (A) works very hard and has only been at the plant for 4 years and only makes $20 an hour, meanwhile employee (B) has worked at the plant for 10 years and sucks at his job, yet he gets the raises and promotions because he has tenure. there are negatives on both sides, you feel like this is capitalism, i feel like it is freedom. agree to disagree.
this problem has unfolded right in front of our eyes. many unions is states like (CA, WI, ILL, etc) have promised their public employee unions pensions that the taxpayer cant pay for. in a private company, the company is responsible to the companies money. in a public employee situation, the elected officials will give the public unions anything they want so they can gain votes.Why should the employees of the government be afforded less rights than anyone else?
Imagine two greedy people deciding how much of your future earnings they get without any concern for your ability to pay or giving you any say in the matter.

Tessa sold her first Silhouette Desire book after an online pitch on the eHarlequin.com website. "It was both scary and exciting, a bit like riding a roller coaster," says Tessa. "Once it started, everything happened so fast."
Several sales followed in quick succession. A keen reader since childhood, Tessa is thrilled to join the author community here at eHarlequin.com. "It took a while to get over the unreality of it all, but it finally started to sink in. There's nothing more satisfying than working on a new story. I love getting to know a whole new set of characters and finding out what they want from life."
There's one piece of advice that Tessa credits with getting her through the publication process. At the first weekend writing course she had ever attended, romance author Robyn Donald said that, to be published, a writer needed three things: talent (which hard work could polish), perseverance and luck. That stuck in Tessa's mind, and so her advice to would-be authors now is: "Hold on to your dream. Keep writing and never give up."
You can contact Tessa though her Web site at www.tessaradley.com. And while you're there, don't forget to check out the fun page and enter Tessa's latest contest. Or you can come read with Tessa over at Team Novelchicks, part of the eHarlequin.com 2007 10,000 Reading Challenge.

Flying-fox in Rinca, Indonesia. These are the largest bats in the world.
They May Be A Fungi, But I Don't Like Them
Thanks to Halloween, people have a strange image of bats. They may even be the least popular mammal on the planet. But bats play important roles in ecosystems, and that's why some people are noticing that some of our bats are missing.
- Lethal Fungus Decimating Local Bats from AMNH http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wk-Of_ZZl3A
No Duh's and Head Scratchers
If you need help scratching a mental itch, use the resources below:
- What causes the white-nose in white-nose syndrome? Is this confined to a single species of bat? What do you think this indicates about how long this relationship between fungus and bats has existed?
- Since 27% of the bats in an infected roost survive on average, do you think it is possible that the bats may survive this fungal invasion? Why or why not? Think carefully and remember there are many factors in play and no "correct" answer at this point.
- What are some of the consequences people fear with declining bat populations? Can you think of another way to deal with these problems besides helping the bats?
- Would you like to have a bathouse in your backyard? Why or why not?
- What about the life histories of the fungus which causes white-nose syndrome and the infected bats leads to the speculation that climate change may be behind the spread of this disease? What kinds of information would you need to collect to test this hypothesis?

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 1:00 PM GMT on February 06, 2013
During January 2013, water levels on Lake Michigan and Lake Huron fell to their all-time lowest values since record keeping began in 1918, said the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on Tuesday. The two lakes (which are connected and are hydrologically the same lake) fell to a water level of 576.02'. This is 0.4" below the previous record low of 576.05' set in March 1964. The lakes have dropped 17 inches since January 2012, and are now 29 inches below their long-term average. Lake Superior is about 9" above its all-time low water level, and Lakes Erie and Ontario are just 6" below average (26 - 27" above their all-time lows), so these lakes will not set new low water records in 2013. The latest forecast calls for Lake Superior to drop 2 inches during February, Lake Michigan and Huron to drop 1 inch, Lake Erie to rise 2 inches, and Lake Ontario remain near its current level.
Figure 1. Low water levels at Old Mission Point Lighthouse at Grand Traverse Bay, Lake Michigan, during July 2000. Image credit: NOAA/GLERL.
Why the record lows?
The record-low water levels on Lake Michigan and Lake Huron are due, in part, to dredging operations in their outflow channel, the St. Clair River. The dredging, which stopped in the 1960s, is blamed for a long-term 10 - 16" decrease in water levels. The record low water levels on Lake Michigan and Lake Huron in January occurred despite the fact that precipitation over their watershed was 61% above average during the month. However, precipitation over the past 12 months was only 91% of average, and runoff into the lakes depends upon precipitation over longer than a 1-month period. Furthermore, evaporation over these lakes was much higher than average during January, making the net water supplied to the lakes (runoff into the lakes, plus precipitation over the lakes, minus evaporation from the lakes) only 63% of average. What caused the increased evaporation? Well, very warm water temperatures, for one. According to NOAA's Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL), water temperatures over Lake Michigan are currently about 2.5°F above average, and are about 1°F above average over Lake Huron. These warm water temperatures are the lingering effects of the extraordinary warmth of 2012, which was the warmest year on record over much of the Great Lakes region. Also increasing the evaporation from the lakes during January was the presence of less ice cover than average, which exposed more open water to the air.
Figure 2. The water level on Lake Huron and Lake Michigan measured during 2012 - 2013 (red line) hit an all-time low during January 2013, beating the previous record set in March 1964. The predicted water levels for February - March call for record lows both months. Image credit: Army Corps of Engineers.
Ice cover declining, water temperatures warming, and precipitation increasing in recent decades
The long-term future of Great Lakes water levels is cloudy, since climate change is expected to bring competing effects. A 2011 paper by scientists at NOAA Great Lakes Environemental Research Laboratory found that lake levels could rise or fall, depending upon the climate change scenario used. On the one hand, precipitation has increased by 12% over Michigan during the past century, and is expected to increase even more in the coming decades. This would tend to increase lake levels. However, lake water temperatures are predicted to increase and ice cover decrease, which would heighten evaporation rates. This would tend to lower lake levels. Ice cover on North America's Great Lakes--Superior, Michigan, Huron, Ontario, and Erie--has declined 71% since 1973, according to a 2012 study published in the Journal of Climate by researchers at NOAA's Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory. The loss of ice is due to warming of the lake waters, which could be due to a combination of global warming and natural cycles, the researchers said. Winter air temperatures over the lower Great Lakes increased by about 2.7°F (1.5°C) from 1973 - 2010, and by 4 - 5°F (2.3 - 2.7°C) over the northern Lakes, including Lake Superior. Lake Superior's summer surface water temperature warmed 4.5°F (2.5°C) over the period 1979 - 2006 (Austin and Colman 2007). During the same period, Lake Michigan warmed by about 3.3°F (1.7°C), Lake Huron by 4.3°F (2.4°C), and Lake Erie (which is shallow and loses and gains heat relatively quickly) showed almost no warming. The Army Corps of Engineers is also considering adding speed bumps to the bottom of the St. Clair River to slow down drainage of Lake Huron, which would act to increase water levels in Lake Huron and Lake Michigan.
Figure 3. Average yearly precipitation over the state of Michigan increased by about 12% per century since 1895, according to NOAA's National Climatic Data Center.

John Stossel, ABC News correspondent, to speak, March 5
Posted February 28, 2002; 02:43 p.m.
News correspondent John Stossel '69, will speak at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 5, in Whig Hall Senate Chamber. He appears regularly on "20/20" and anchors "The John Stossel Specials."
Stossel, the recipient of 19 Emmy Awards, is known for his investigative reporting for "20/20" and his skeptical takes on his specials' subject matter. Topics of his specials have included, "Are We Scaring Ourselves to Death?," "The Blame Game" and "The Mystery of Happiness."
Recently for "20/20," Stossel has reported on teens who suffer from Tourette's syndrome; on women -- some in apparently happy marriages -- who discover later in life that they are lesbians; and on why many Americans younger than 35 believe that the Social Security system will not exist when they face retirement.

HealthiNation expands wellness content with new shows
"Traditionally, we've been more focused on our medical education vertical," said Raj Amin, CEO of HealthiNation. "We continue to grow in that market, but we've realized that the opportunities for our company are much broader. Wellness allows us to go after healthy eating and parenting topics instead of just being there for people when they have a medical condition."
The new shows include: The Essentials, "an upbeat educational series that cracks the code…surrounding the vitamins, nutrients and compounds contained in the foods we eat"; Simple Smoothies; Kitchen Crashers, "a reality-style 'nutrition makeover' series in which a HealthiNation nutritionist crashes the junk food party and shows real families how to incorporate healthier food into their lives"; and Babyhood Basics, a show for new moms.
The shows will be housed at www.healthination.com as well as the company's partner sites, which the company says reach 40 million unique users and 32 million TV households.
The company is running a "Color Your Plate" sweepstakes, tied into the American Diatetic Association's National Nutrition Month, through its Facebook page. Visitors can get healthy eating tips, take quizzes and enter for a chance to win prizes including an iPad 2. The sweepstakes runs through April 15.

I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
[And I seriously want to keep this discussion our of the Rancor Pit, but PM me if you're interested in further details of my beliefs. As I said, I have exhausted my patience with most other religious people - except for those on their death bed or facing irrepairable grievences whom I don't care to make feel worse - so I don't expect the message, but I'd welcome the discussion.]
Back to Hatfield, it's his fear of death that has him baptised and worried about being on good behavior in the end. I loved the contrast between McCoy who lost his faith and Hatfield who "found his faith - a pile of steaming bull of course - though I figure Hatfield himself was in denial of that and oblivious to his hypocrisy or determined he'd convinced himself that Jesus dying for his sins would make up for the horrible, horrible sins he and his family committed (Cotton's death being probably and clearly the most indisputable).
This series was hardly slow or boring! I loved the controversy and continuingly increasing hypocrticial positions the characters were taking - like religious McCoy allowing for a contract killer to enter their employ and not stopping his scheming, plotting, and deservingly hated nephew the lawyer to escalate the war.
As a writer - and of this western genre - I totally build that kind of stuff up and have plenty of gun battles as did Hatfields & McCoys. You also have to build up your love stories to have passion behind the motivations of certain characters that drive them. If the affairs don't seem real, nobody will believe the participants being driven to kill.
No, I think Hatfields & McCoys was perfect.
Now do you think that "the director" had an atheist agenda? First step back and ask if that wouldn't start with the writers, Kirby and Mann?
I LOVE the atheist agenda, even though an agnostic agenda would serve my own beliefs better. Yet an agnostic (reasonable approach) agenda would lack much of the passion an atheist brings to their cause (or search for reason - though if they were objective - they'd see that either the Judiao-Christian "truth or lie" - whatever it really would be proven to be - prevents the atheist from proving their truth as well.
Anyway, it could be Kevin Reynolds selects atheist agenda - or how about stories that make people think about things - for the projects he likes to work on?
I don't know all of Reynolds' projects off the top of my head. Waterworld I think, which examined religion by mysticism anyway: "A child will lead the way..."
But you could say that I personally write with an agnostic agenda, or one to not-so-subtly paint Christians and Jews as irrational hypocrites anyway (and uh...Jesus Christ did as well if you actually paid attention and read the Bible for yourselves, people).
I would "attack" other religions as well, but I do not yet have occasions to confront them - though Islamic Fundamentalism will eventually get its fair share of attention in my novel series. But I'll actually enjoy it when someone says I wrote THOUSANDS of pages of "anti-Christian" material. Maybe Kevin Reynolds should direct films based on my books? (But I'm really thinking Michael Bay though my proposal was recently taken seriously in nearly a half-hour's time I spent on the set of an HBO series I acted in that was directed by Christopher Guest. He'd be great if he could refrain from putting almost ANY humor into my stories. My "voice" is angry and vengeful as one would expect of my personality.

Umm, my comments about Kevin's character finding God wasn't a comment on the process or about religion or it in society etc. It was just a comment that his character is the one to find God while Bill Paxton is still stuck in the feud. Which I would think would tend to put him in a more positive light.
Renolds and Kostner have worked together 6 times from what I can tell.
There were some interesting things learned from the show. I thought the feud would have been longer, granted 30 odd years is long but I thought it would have gone on longer.
No, the feud might be over because Geico hired both the Hatfields and McCoys to make insurance commercials with real, living cavemen!
They all saved thousands of dollars by getting Geico Car Insurance. I am assuming this ended the decades of bloodshed.
If automobiles and auto insurance would have been invented earlier, it might have saved dozens of people's lives in Kentucky and West Virginia. (I think the latter is where the cavemen came from in the first place.)
Anyway, "the character who finds God" being shone in a positive light is not the message I took out of it.
First, Hatfield allegedly "found God" by embracing the Christian religion (hence his baptism). I don't see him in a positive light after he was responsible for ordering or allowing so much killing, and his service to himself first, by deserting in the Civil War, and then finding God to convince himself he had Jesus' forgiveness or something (the series doesn't mention Jesus by name in that part, but the baptism is a Christian tradition, so I extrapolate).
Second, I don't think there is forgiveness for what Hatfield did - if there is forgiveness. Now that is man's "invention," (Christ's forgiveness since it requires faith and is not demonstrated by proveable fact.) Perhaps Hatfield could have prayed to God that all his and his family's murders were successful kills, and God rewarded him for standing out instead of being a sheep? People are convinced their religion tells them that they "know" what God wants. Yeah. Right. The sniper in Saving Private Ryan would pray to God that his shots were kill shots. The Bible says "Thou shallt not kill." That the sniper is doing his military duty is an excuse. Personally, I like the one "Thou shall not commit adultery" if the exception to that one is "unless she's really, really, really hot!" Then it's all in the line of duty, right?
But Hatfield's finding of religion does not shine a positive light on him in my eyes. He's a hypocrite and I'd hope everyone would see that.
Meanwhile, the Lord-loving faithful McCoy's abandonment of his faith and poisoning by his hatred and depression he fell into was awsome! I think that Reynolds (and Kirby and Mann foremost) showed the fall away from self-righteousness as something the audience could ponder (if they "got it"). Him intentionally or unintentionally killing himself in that fire (and historically, he could have even been murdered if there were no witnesses to say McCoy's death occured by foul play) shows the viewer that someone's fantasy reinforced by their faith might be worthwhile since the actual truth - living on after the loss of one's faith in unproven religious (and self-righteous) dogma - is indeed cruel - and reality can be cold and cruel.
I see a tragedy for both men.
Both Hatfield's righteousness and his finding God were outright lies. He might have believed the 2nd one, but I do not.
McCoy's defense / circumstance of being wronged might have been righteous, but his faith was a lie in that it could not protect him from evil - and his sons even perpetuated more wrong doing by their actions, thus he did not bring his family up in righteousness in spite of every effort he made without fail, to try - except that he did not reign in his nephew - but that was after all the trouble had started and his nephew hired the bounty hunter.

The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
Finally lucked into getting Fastpasses for Radiator Springs Racers, the main (and, arguably, only good) ride in Cars Land (AKA that Disney "land" based on the weakest Pixar movie, but which gets the best music in the park as a tradeoff).
That's my jacket!
I had another gun fighter show. It went very well. Then I went to a very reliable gun dealer for rifle repairs. Had to order a part but should have my rifle fixed before I need it in upcoming fights (still about 2 weeks away).
I also had my friend over and we caught up on The Americans, Justified (almost caught up - which is why I haven't visited the Justified thread in a little bit) and Walking Dead (all caught up and it's awesome!).
Been getting in great workouts and swimming laps too since the weather is beautiful!
BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.

The local Fred Meyers stores have also been getting these as well due to the fact that they didn't order as much of the initial waves and have just started to replenish their stock.

Like Jim Knipfel with his Statistics of Contempt, I cope with sidewalk frustration by making a game of it. This scene scores a big six points:
1. Incredibly loud cell-phone talker (four blocks worth of it)
2. Talking about the top two most obnoxious loud cell-phone topics (money and real estate)
3. Pushing stroller with just one hand
4. Pushing enormous, double-wide stroller
5. Double-wide has just one kid in it (other side's for shopping bags)
6. Kid is big enough to be playing a handheld electronic game--and those legs, knees bent to her chest, look made for walking
I'm not sure this one could score much higher, unless she was also listening to an iPod in one ear and steering with her hips while sucking on a Starbucks iced coffee. And leading a small dog on a too-long leash. Now that would be something.
(Where is Seinfeld when we need someone to name and call attention to current urban behaviors? Larry David, come back to New York!)
If the grudge match between the Stroller Mafia & the Angry Child-Free is going to continue, and it is, then we should at least have team uniforms. It might help us all have a sense of humor about this issue. Below are a few design options--and, for the record, I would really love to see a mom or dad in the "I Hate Your Kids" shirt:
Where'd I find these T's?

The Zoning Enforcement Officer, who often has the title of Building Inspector, is the key person in the enforcement of the zoning regulations. If he or she does not thoroughly understand and carry out his or her duties, most of the effectiveness of zoning will be lost.
The Zoning Enforcement Officer should read and become familiar with the zoning provisions. The officer should keep track of all amendments enacted by the legislative body, taking care to note them on his or her copy of the regulations, including, when necessary, the zoning district map. The officer should attend the meetings of the Board of Adjustment in order to understand the actions of the Board.
It is desirable that the Zoning Enforcement Officer prepare and keep up to date three maps:
With the assistance of the appropriate legal officer (e.g. prosecuting attorney, city attorney), the Zoning Enforcement Officer should prepare the following forms:
The Zoning Enforcement Officer (Building Inspector) has the following duties in connection with the Zoning regulations:
On receiving an application for a building permit, the officer (inspector) should:
In deciding whether or not the proposed construction complies with the zoning regulations, the officer (inspector) must follow those regulations exactly. The officer may not issue a permit for something that is not authorized, nor may he or she deny a permit for something that is authorized. "In the issuing of building permits the building inspector, a purely administrative agent, must follow the literal provisions of the zoning regulations."
Once he or she has issued a permit, the officer (inspector) may revoke the permit:
If the officer (inspector) refuses to issue the permit or revokes a permit, he or she should furnish the applicant with the appropriate form on which to give notice of appeal to the Board of Adjustment.
After issuing a building permit, the officer (inspector) should check for compliance with the zoning regulations during construction of the structure. If the completed building meets the requirements of the zoning, the officer should issue a Certificate of Occupancy authorizing use of the building for stated purposes.
Where the use of a building or piece of land is later changed, the property owner must apply for a new Certificate of Occupancy. This should be issued only after a new inspection of the premises to check conformance with the zoning regulations.
If the officer (inspector) refuses to issue a Certificate of Occupancy, the property owner may appeal to the Board of Adjustment.
Most zoning regulations permit property uses existing at the time the order is adopted to continue under stated conditions even though they violate the zoning provisions. Some zoning regulations require the owners of such "non-conforming uses" to secure a certificate describing the property and its use at the time of adoption of the zoning. The purpose of this is to have a record that may be used as evidence in the event of later dispute concerning the property.
The Zoning Enforcement Officer (Building Inspector) should receive applications for these certificates, group them according to location, make inspections, and issue a Certificate of Occupancy for Non-conforming Use to each applicant. All such applications, under the usual provisions, must be made within a certain time after the regulations are adopted in order for the owner to be entitled to a certificate.
Where the Zoning Enforcement Officer (Building inspector) learns of a zoning violation, he or she should first give all interested parties notice of the violation and an opportunity to correct it. If the violation is not corrected, and if no appeal from the officer's notice is taken to the Board of Adjustment, the Enforcement Officer should request the prosecuting attorney to commence the appropriate legal action. This action may either be criminal (e.g. leading to a fine) or civil (e.g. leading to an order by the court restraining the owner against further violations).
To provide for adequate public information, to serve as a basis for future decisions, and to supply evidence for the Board of Adjustment or for other litigation, the Zoning Enforcement Officer (Building Inspector) must keep complete, accurate and well-organized records.
Properly maintained records should permit easy assembly of a complete history of all zoning actions taken relative to a parcel of land. By making records fit with the Assessor's system, it should be possible to locate, for any given property, such matters as:
Files of information may be organized under headings of this kind. Noting the various actions on maps is helpful for making good use of information.
Accurate recording of the dates of all actions is important. The sequence of actions often is critical to understanding the situation.
Reliable, convenient records are necessary for fair and smoothly operating zoning administration. The Zoning Enforcement Officer (Building Inspector) should give considerable attention to setting up a system of records. He or she should consult with other officials as to their needs for information and get their advice on record maintenance. Coordination among several officials and bodies will be needed to establish and maintain an effective record system. The Zoning Enforcement Officer has to devote considerable time to recording once the system is established. He or she should expect that experience using the records will indicate a need to revise the system from time to time.
The Board of (Zoning) Adjustment is a quasi-judicial administrative body whose decisions affect private property rights to the same extent as court decisions. For that reason, the Board's procedures must be regular and properly judicial, and its decisions should accord with the recognized body of law in its field.
The Board of Adjustment is not a legislative body. It must enforce the meaning and the spirit of the zoning regulations as enacted by the legislative body. Where particular provisions of the regulations seem to lead to consistent injustices, the Board should recommend to the legislative body that they be amended. It should not attempt a "back-door" amendment by a series of its own decisions.
The Board should remember that it is the only representative, in most cases, of the public interest. It is not merely adjudicating the rights of two contending parties. In all of its decisions it should keep foremost in its mind the question of, "What will be best for the community?"
One of the first steps that the Board of Adjustment should take after its creation is adoption of rules of procedure for itself. At least the following provisions should be considered.
In order for the Board's actions to have validity, it must comply with the formal requirements set forth in its rules — particularly the provisions outlined above.
The Board of Adjustment has three main powers and duties:
In addition, the Board should give constant consideration to the need for zoning amendments and, where such need appears, it should make recommendations to that effect to the legislative body or Planning Commission.
InterpretationThe Board's power of interpretation consists merely of
The point to remember in exercising this power is that the Board must apply, not vary, the terms of the regulations. Any variation must come as a variance (discussed below) and must meet the requirements for a variance. The Board's interpretation of the meaning of the regulations should remain uniform; the application to different fact situations, however, may lead to different decisions.
ExceptionsIn certain situations, the regulation authorizes the Board to permit a given type of property use when it finds that particular conditions are met. When the Board does this, it is granting an "exception." The Board must exercise this authority just as it exercises its power of interpretation: It must follow the language of the provisions exactly and be sure that all the conditions specified have been met.
VariancesThe best known power of the Board is the authority to grant "variances" from the literal terms of the regulations in hardship cases. The first rule for the Board to remember in exercising this function is that it must not be too liberal with its grants, for otherwise the whole zoning law may be subverted.
To grant a variance, the Board should make certain findings (which must, of course, be supported by the facts). A summary of the findings that should be required before a grant of a "variance" is issued follows:
In order to support this finding, the property owner must prove:
Ordinarily, the courts have ruled that a Board should deny a variance as a violation of this finding
In making this finding, the Board must determine:
Condition on exceptions and variancesIn granting an exception or variance, the Board is entitled to impose conditions on the permit that will make the proposed property use less objectionable to its neighbors and to the community. The conditions must be "reasonable."

It's nice but I liked it better backwards.
Just kidding...Good job.
why are their two Tucks and no Osi?
[quote user="slipknottin"]why are their two Tucks and no Osi?[/quote]
The other one is probably Kiwi.
It's 91, 97, 90, and 99. Sorry, Osi fans. No offense intended, I put our starters in.
I don't think they will be a big factor (sacks and pressures), but they will be tough to account for and that is almost enough.

2. I love the trade compared to what you took at 12. Lotulelei does not move me much. Richardson and Williams are going to make more of an impact. And both DT's who were still on the board.
3. Taylor is a much better selection than Kelce at 54. He was thought of higher in many people's mind and plays a more important position. Sims has similar grade to Kelce everywhere I looked and he was taken two rounds later.
4. Watson is an interesting project, but in the end a chancy decision to pencil him as a starter at OT. We would be looking for insurance anyways in the FA market
5. I cannot argue with JI's picks of Taylor and Sims because I was banging the keyboard on this site hoping they would take them.
Overall you have nice draft, but the Fins actual haul is very solid. No complaints.

8 Ways to Hack an Ice Cube Tray
Views: 603
I'm a real blog =) I think I've only done 1 giveaway in 3 years. I mainly document the daily lovely thing that happen at our home. I'm a stay at home mom who loves to share our family's experiences. Stop by and say hi! I'm always looking to meet new bloggers =)
I am a real blog - right now, NOT ONE GIVEAWAY!!!!
I discuss everything and anything that interests me - my kids' education, crafts, housekeeping, decorating, tech and geek, business, scrapbooking, recipes etc. A little something for everyone.
Please visit Long Island Chick - follow and I could use some comment luv. I always follow back - just leave a message that you were there :-)
Hi there,
I have no idea how to do giveaways. I also don't do coupons. Please check out my blog... http://simplethoughtsonthings.blogspot.com
I only just started a month ago so I don't have that many posts but I'm working hard to develop my blog.
Will follow you as well :-)
I will definitely check out your blog. Personally, I'm new to the whole networking experience. I began my blog because I'm a mother of older boys, former Marriage and Family therapist, DIY home decorater, event planner and avid book nut. Yes, I blog about crafts, books, and entertaining, but I also write about relationships, kids and women's issues. I try to write in a thought-provoking way and love to gets comments! Feel free to stop by www.gwenmossblog.blogspot.com
Mine is a mix of product reviews but then also fun ideas related to my family like making a time capsule!
Hi there!
I am finding the same thing. I enjoy entering contests every now and then... but not a fan of hosting them! ;-)
I generally blog about holistic nutrition, beauty tips, and of course, being a mom!
Most of all I love to read blogs that challenge my mind and get me thinking some! I get bored easily reading about cleaning tips etc.
My blog is real! I usually do a couple of giveaways a month, but not much more. This week I'm doing a bunch, however, since I'm behind! 90% of my blog, however, is just about my life, my insights, my experiences - all of which include my marriage and children.
www.dgmommy.com is where you can check it out! The left sidebar has the most popular posts. Giveaways tend to creep in there, but my Marriage Matters post and a couple of potty training (or lack thereof) posts have stayed in the top 5 for a long time now! I hope you'll pop by for a visit!
I do giveaways on occasion but my blog is mostly about military life, marriage, etc.
My blog consists of a lot of crafts, recipes, things that I have learned and just random things that my son has done, or that have happened.
