Trucks have more power and Ferrari's are faster so why do most of us drive Chevy's and Fords? Handguns are only weak compared to rifles and it isn't a fair comparison. Unless you have a spare arm or don't mind a long barreled gun slung to your back While you are out and about doing whatever it is you do. The logical choice is something you can carry that is small light, not in the way but sufficient to do the job.
For those of you who have bought into the adage of using it to fight your way to the rifle you are already in to deep for comfort. A few shots with the handgun should end the fight. If you still need to get to a rifle you better have a posse coming to help you soon.
Good intentions will always be pleaded for any assumption of power. The Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern will, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters.

CARLSBAD — After a long approval process and subsequent lawsuit, construction has started on the 83.1-acre La Costa Town Square project. The high end development will eventually consist of a large shopping center, commercial office buildings, and 63 homes in southeast Carlsbad.
"The goal is to provide a high quality shopping experience with a great mix of retail stores that will work well within the local area," said Charles Eadie, a spokesperson from Hamilton Swift and Associates for the project's owner, Property Development Centers.
Located at the intersection of La Costa Avenue and Rancho Santa Fe Road, the project was approved by City Council in mid-2009.
The City Council's decision restricted the size of the center's anchor store to prevent a major retailer from moving in and also changed the plans for multi-family residences into single-family homes.
The La Costa Town Square's construction was delayed by a lawsuit filed by the nonprofit North County Advocates.
The lawsuit was settled in October 2011 when the developers agreed not to include a Walmart for at least 10 years, build only one gas station, reduce the office space, and minimize the outside lighting.
The retail section will contain a Vons grocery store, but the project's other retailers have not been released at this time. The Town Square is being built to accommodate stores, one gas station, banks, and restaurants.
Project representatives have compared La Costa Town Square to the trendy nearby shopping center The Forum, which includes an Apple store, Anthropologie, Urban Outfitters and restaurants.
Yet Eadie admitted there is no guarantee that the retail and commercial spaces will be completely occupied given the current economic downturn and some empty storefronts in Carlsbad.
The commercial center will feature a pedestrian plaza with a clock tower, water fountain and landscaped trees and plants.
The city's general fund will gain from the sales tax revenue generated by La Costa Town Square.
When La Costa Town Square was initially scheduled to be completed in 2011, the developer Aspen Properties estimated that the stores would generate almost $1 million in sales tax revenue for Carlsbad by 2012.
During review of the project, the city found that La Costa Town Square will result in "significant and unmitigated" environmental impacts, according to the final environmental impact report.
The laundry list of environmental effects includes light and noise pollution, increased traffic, affect global climate change and have a negative impact on sensitive plant species, air and water quality.
To compensate for these impacts, Property Development Centers is installing an environmental zone and bio-retention basins, using recycled water for irrigation, and relocating more than 1,000 endangered plants to a nearby preservation parcel, according to Eadie.
The owner has also paid the city $9.5 million in traffic fees for street improvements and new traffic signals to accommodate for the increased traffic.
The retail portion of the project is expected to open in summer 2014. The residential and office portions' completion time has yet to be determined. Grading has started at the site and full construction will begin Jan. 7.

So I bought a Stag Arms Model 2 http://www.stagarms.com/product_info.php?products_id=206 yet to shoot it planing on it sat. Anyways I have been searching for ammo for it I know it will shoot .223 but how about this stuff? http://www.federalpremium.com/resources/xm193.aspx I bought a few boxes of the XM193F 5.56mm M193 Ball, is it safe to shoot out of my model 2? Only reason I ask is it says this right on the ammo website... WARNING: For use in standard 5.56 mm chambers. Do not use in non-standard 5.56 chambers. Now my barrel says 5,56 but what is a non standard 5.56? Am I missing something? Are there 2 different types of 5.56 or something? Sorry if this is a completely dumb question but rather confirm than be sorry down the line.

This neat application pulls down your Flickr photos and displays them very nicely within Media Center. I've been playing around with version 1 recently which was originally written in Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and deployed as an XBAP but V2 has now been updated to leverage the Media Center Markup Language (MCML) which lets them use a lot of the built in look and feel stuff rather than reinventing the user experience wheel.
I like this concept (called Geocoding) which allows you to search by a location and see all related photographs - neat. Ian has a cool writeup of the new version here and to see the soapbox video demo check out the Big Screen official blog.

The growing popularity of organic production may reflect its good economic profile; Montana State University analysis indicates that, if properly managed, average net returns per acre for organic rotations could become favorable compared to conventional rotations. However, the transition to organic fields from conventional production can be challenging. Growers need to anticipate about 36-months in an organic system before crops could be certified as organic. This means that they need to prepare for potentially lower yields without receiving the increased prices received by established organic producers. This most often means that one or two crop harvests must be sold into transitional non-organic markets.
Montana dryland farmers face additional challenges because organic growers can only use a handful of approved herbicides and therefore rely more heavily on mechanical and cultural practices for weed control than conventional and no-tillage farmers. However, in our dryland ecosystems, excessive soil cultivation could lead to soil erosion. Achieving the two-fold goal of weed management and soil conservation requires an ecological approach to weed management that combines multiple weed control tactics with knowledge of the ecology of crop-weed competition and an understanding of the economic threshold for control.
No magical toolbox exists to guarantee a smooth transition from conventional to organic practices, but MSU faculty have summarized some of the economic, environmental and biological challenges of the transition to organic growing in a free fact sheet titled "From conventional to organic cropping: what to expect during the transition years." The publication explains that knowledge and access to appropriate technology are key factors in this process. This publication further provides some guidelines and references that may ease the pathway to organic agriculture.
The USDA National Organic Standards Board states that organic agriculture "is based on minimal use of off-farm inputs and on-farm management practices that restore, maintain, or enhance ecological harmony." In this context, "the primary goal of organic agriculture is to optimize the health and productivity of interdependent communities of soil life, plants, animals and people" and "the principal guidelines for organic production are to use materials and practices that enhance the ecological balance of natural systems and that integrate the parts of the farming system into an ecological whole."
To become a certified organic grower, crop producers need to comply with several regulations. For example, soil fertility and crop nutrients should be managed through tillage and cultivation practices, crop rotations and cover crops, supplemented with animal and crop waste materials and allowed synthetic materials.Crop pests, weeds and diseases should be controlled primarily through management practices including physical, mechanical and biological controls. When these practices are not sufficient, an approved biological, botanical or synthetic substance may be used. Also, land must have no prohibited substances applied to it for at least three years before the harvest of an organic crop. Finally, the use of genetic engineering, ionizing radiation and sewage sludge is prohibited in organic production systems.
There are several ways to obtain a free copy of this Montguide (MT200901 AG). The publication is available free by contacting Fabian Menalled, the MSU Cropland Weed Specialist at (406) 994-4783 or firstname.lastname@example.com, by visiting your local county or tribal MSU Extension office or by downloading from the Cropland Weed Management Website (http://www.ipm.montana.edu/CropWeeds), click on "Montguides and Technical Bulletins" and look for the title. It also is available through to MSU Extension Publications, PO Box 172040, Bozeman, MT 59717-2040.

Recrowning barrel
I have an ancient "Coast to Coast hardware" model 42 (basically a Marlin .22 semiauto) that is shooting for crap, and I know it's the rifle and not me since I compared relative accuracy to me shooting my M14.
Lots of horizontal play.
I've checked the action screws to make sure it's retained in the stock properly.
The sights are stable, not loose. No play in them at all, front or back.
I've loaned this rifle out quite a bit as an Appleseed loaner when a shooter shows up with a relatively inappropriate rifle for the lessons we teach. Quite a few of the recipients of the rifle have been absent-minded kids that have put the muzzle down onto concrete or into the dirt. Grr. Argh.
The accuracy has gone way downhill since I began loaning it out. Go figure.
Anyways, I was thinking of trying my hand at re-crowning it. I have a pneumatic die grinder and air compressor in my garage, and a grinding stone for it that should give it a nice protected recessed crown.
I've been told I should use valve grinding compound as a paste between the muzzle and the grinder. I can't find any. Is there another suitable material to use?
This rifle is not dear to me and makes for a good project rifle to learn about crowning... I have a new Marlin autoloader that is my "good" .22 so I'm not too worried about ruining this one if the worst comes to pass. I'd still rather do it right, though.

Check at Checker Auto, Pep Boys, or Autozone for the valve grinding compound. It is usually in the "specialty" tool area with the mechanics stethoscopes, feeler gauges, ring compressors, etc. Two little cans (about twice the size of a blistex tub) shrink wrapped bottom to bottom. or permatex puts it in a tube permatex 34A.
Instead of the grinding stone, use a large, round head brass screw. That way the compound is doing the cutting not the stone.
All things being equal, fat people use more soap. (I know I am one.) High speed, low drag does not even come close to describing ME.

It will be difficult to keep the crown perpendicular to the bore with a hand grind tool. You need to use a piloted tool to ensure you are maintaining the 90 degree crown to bore angle. Brownells has these cutters.

If think the people meant to tell you to get some valve "lapping" compound as this is a paste and valve grinding compound is a lubricant that is used as a liquid on valve grinding machines.
Not exactly how I would do it but here is how Larry Potterfield does it on You Tube. Just ignore the part about cutting your barrel.

Statewide Unemployment Rate At Lowest Level Since January 2009
New York state's unemployment rate has fallen to its lowest level in almost five years.
According to numbers released by the New York State Department of Labor, the jobless rate decreased from 7.7% to 7.4% in November.
That's the lowest level since January of 2009.
In addition, the state's economy added 4,300 private sector jobs, raising New York's private sector job count to 7,493,500 — another all-time high.
Job growth in the Utica-Rome area increased by 1.5%..

"There is no evidence that we are dealing with structures of organized crime here," Mathies said.
"We believe this was transmitted through social networks. A few people did in fact say, 'hey, we're going to Cologne, there's going to be a big party."
Mathies did acknowledge that many of the alleged perpetrators were from countries where they might be familiar with "this behaviour, where women are hemmed in and then abused by a large number of men at once."
"I must say that this phenomenon was not known to me in Germany before," he said.
A particular challenge for the police has been the lack of quality video surveillance in the Cologne main train station, where many of the attacks happened.
"It's easier to look at a video and see: that guy's just taken a phone. Rather than: he's just touched a woman. These images are far from good. I believe that this must change a lot in the future," Mathies said.
Police had already introduced extended video surveillance during this week's carnival, the police chief added.
And he addressed directly the accusations that police had covered up details of the extent of the sexual assaults and the origins of those behind them – although critics will likely remain dissatisfied.
Cologne's new police chief Jürgen Mathies. Photo: DPA
"There is a concern that by naming the nationality, you contribute to the fact that at the moment everything is being lumped together," Mathies said. "That hurts me. As a policeman, it's my job to protect people."
"If the nationality is indispensable to understanding the crime, then [it should be named]," he continued. "But not in general."
It was increasingly difficult for police not to name the nationalities of suspects to the media in the wake of the sexual assaults, Mathies added.
From the bottom to the top
Mathies is a former beat officer with experience going back to his time on a motorbike patrol in Cologne in the 1970s.
The former leader of the national security plan for the 2006 football World Cup, he's returned to the cathedral city after holding senior positions in the North Rhine-Westphalia state police organization.
But he entered office under a cloud, following the departure of his predecessor Wolfgang Albers over accusations that he played down the large numbers of sexual assaults against women around Cologne main train station on New Year's Eve.
More than 1,000 crime reports about that one night had landed on police desks by the end of January, including 433 sexual assaults.
State prosecutors in Cologne are investigating 44 men, largely of north African origin, with 10 of them in investigative custody.

Man Pays Ticket In Origami Pigs [VIDEO]
There have been times that I have wanted to fight tooth and nail to get out of a traffic ticket. This guy is perfectly willing to pay his fine, but he does it with a twist.This guy goes in to pay his $137 fine in one dollar bills folded into origami pigs. The last time I checked, it doesn't matter if they are folded up or not, they are legal tender.
The problem I have with this is that they absolutely REFUSED to accept the cash the way it was. I think if it had been me, I would have looked at them and said, "I have paid my fine, you can either accept it as it stands, or you can put it in writing that you are refusing my payment and I won't owe you another dime – especially since it is on video." I then would have walked out. But that's just me.

Something someone shared with me on facebook cuz I like to sunbathe. Nudity is viewed in the USA as more sexual because we over censor it while nudity in europe is more open and less sexual.
Views: 212
And of course, who do we have to thank for this stupidity? Religion ... and mostly Christianity. Big surprise, right? [/sarcasm]
Also, don't forget that a good number of the original European settlers came to the US for religious freedom. A lot of the current ultra-conservative Christians here in the US twist that to mean that the religious groups were being persecuted in Europe.
Don't forget that the Pilgrims stopped off in ... Holland was it? ... before coming to North America. They left Holland because the Christians they found in Holland were too liberal, and they were worried about their children being led astray.
It wasn't always the case, of course, but many of the other groups of people seeking religious freedom were similarly seeking the freedom to be as extreme and bat-shit conservative as they wanted to be. The freedom to have an oppressive religion, essentially. That still shows, compared to the sorts of Christianity they tend to have in Europe nowadays.
Great point, Joseph. I've never really thought about it in that light.
...As I read in history by howard zinn....the American Indians were very liberal in their sexual activities.... so for the Puritan it is out of the frying pan into the fire....
Yeah, but it was probably easier to maintain the moral isolation, since they didn't have as much common history as they had with the Hollanders. There were big problems with colonists running off to live with the natives, at times, even so.
There's a lot of that sort of clarification in this series:
I highly recommend the entire channel, if you want to brush up on all of the stuff you've forgotten since high school and college, in a very entertaining format.
Or, here's a link to the playlist as a whole: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8dPuuaLjXtMwmepBjTSG593eG7O....
Gotta be careful when talking about "American Indians" here. American Indians did not really exist as a single entity as the term suggests. American Indians were not a homogeneous group in which everyone shared the same behaviors or cultural rules. When the Europeans came here this was a continent filled with people as vast as all of Europe. Native peoples tribes and nations were as diverse as any nations and peoples anywhere else in the old world. Some were very open sexually others had extremely rigid codes of sexual behaviors.
The vast majority, though ...
Actually, the generalization isn't as much of a problem, in this case. The context is fairly clearly defined as those groups that the early European settlers encountered on the east coast of what is now the US: the Iroquois Confederacy and such. Those native groups were pretty much universal in being sexually libertine, compared to the societies of the colonists.
I bet that the more rigid, urban cultures of the Central American nations would still be hard pressed to compete with the guilt-for-sex exchange of Christianity, though.
Somewhere in the bible it says if god had wanted us to run around nekkid, we'd have been born that way.
That reminds me of this row of panels from this one webcomic, for some reason:
It's fairly alarming, but typically American, that a prez would get into big trouble for getting a blow job, but not for lying the country into an incredibly destructive and useless (but immensely profitable for his cronies) war.
As per the video, I used to spend time in the English garden in Munich, and there were skyclad people of all ages all around. There was nothing even slightly salacious about it, except in the minds of gaping American tourists. As the old saying goes, we see the world not as it is but as we are.
The same prez who got into big trouble for getting a blow job fired his surgeon general because she said masturbation is okay.
Then, by signing the Glass-Stegal Act repeal, he made the 2008 economic crash inevitable.

6.14.17 - Drafted in the 16th round out of Michigan by the Cincinnati Reds.
4/17/14 - Ranked No. 16 in Illinois and No. 68 overall. Michigan recruit. Sturdy 6-foot-2, 190-pound frame, athletic feet and arm. Works from high-3/4 slot, shorter arm action, repeats athletic delivery consistently. Impressive performance on several levels: 1.) Showed ability to throw consistent strikes with three pitches (fastball, curveball, changeup). 2.) Held consistent 88-90 velocity, with several 91s early on, for seven innings. 3.) Curveball showed makings of being an excellent pitch. 4.) Results: 3 hits, 0 earned runs, 12 Ks, 3 BB (two in seventh). Nutof came out of the gates hot. He struck out six in the first two innings. In the first, he sat 90-91; in the second, 89-90. Still worked at 88-90 in the fifth. Curveball showed more late bite and consistency than what we've seen in the past. Pitch ranged between 74-76 mph with 11/5 break. Also showed feel for 81-82 changeup, though didn't need it much. Defense didn't help him much, committing five errors behind him, but showed composure and mature presence on mound.
6/12/13 - Previously unknown to us, Nutof looks every bit of one of the top pitching prospects in an extremely deep pitching class. The 6-foot-2, 185-pound right-hander was the buzz of the Black and Silver after his fastball sat in the 89-91 mph range with late arm-side run. He has a quick, athletic arm, works slightly across his body and has some deception in his delivery. Nutof also showed tight 73 mph breaking ball in his stint. He came back later in the week with similar 89-90 velocity.

Casa Toraño Maduro Robusto
The Toraño family loves to use tobaccos from around the world in its cigars. It's not uncommon for a Carlos Toraño cigar to contain leaves from five nations, so it's surprising that it took until 2007 for the company to use Connecticut broadleaf as a wrapper. The result is the Casa Toraño Maduro Robusto, a dark, oily cigar with a nutty flavor and hints of sweet wood, caramel and cherries. It's an exceptional maduro, one of only two on our Top 25 list. The Casa Toraño blend originally was something the family made for itself, then took on the road in the form of rolling shows around the United States. The blend was strongly received, so the company decided to make it commercially available.

My New YJ switch panel that I'm working on
So with the rain and nasty weather and the aquisition of an ARB mini compressor to run my ARB (tired of having to run my OBA all the time with the leaks so I can lock up when I need to) I decided it was a good time to go ahead and make up a new switch panel for the YJ. Here is my original panel that I have in the YJ now
As you can see, 2 aviation toggle switches, the ARB switch, 6 stock style switches to run various accessories, and 2 air pressure gauges. One for the whole OBA system, and one for the line going to my ARB.
Now that I have the mini compressor I have to add another ARB switch and I can eliminate the pressure gauge going to the locker. The original panel was out of Stainless which looks great but was a royal pain to do the switch cut outs, especially for the stock style rectangular switches. So I sat down and made a list of all my various accessories. I have a bunch of stock switches floating around, but I really hated cutting the holes for them. the last plate took me a few days just of cutting the switch holes.
So I decided to go Aluminum for the plate, and go aviation style toggles with (suprise suprise) green LEDS to indicate power on. Went to IMS and got some aluminum sheet (on sale at that) cut a piece out that was 4.5"s by 16"s. Layed my switch holes out an inch apart and started drilling. Once I had the holes I bent the top inch over to mount to the bottom of my dash.
Now I realize the switches aren't all the same. Went to Kragen again today and got 3 more, waiting for them to re-order so I can get the last 3 I need. They are all 20 amp toggle switches with screw style terminals on them. I also took apart my 12voltguy in cab winch control panel and installed the switches from that in the new panel as well, Along with a single air pressure gauge to monitor my OBA system pressure. I was going to do 12 switches but when it was all said and done I had room for one more so I went ahead and added a 13th. So I have 2 empty switches for future modifications.
I know the DYmo labels are a bit goofy but they will work until I order some proper labels from the 12volt guy like whats on the arm switch for the winch control. And I am also irritatated by the gouging around the pressure gauge. the hole saw skipped when I raised the drill press. Not sure how to fix it and I don't feel like making a whole new plate so I guess i'll just run with it.
overall shot
back side view. That was a LOT of soldering!!
and with the labels on
so what do you all think?
oh and the ARB compressor and locker switch is getting moved to the switch cut outs in the dash as all I need to do there is enlarge the stock holes a bit, and that leaves one blank for when I get around to adding an ARB up front
to fix the gouges remove all the switches, and use a flap wheel or an orbital sander to achieve a "brushed swirl" look, or go with straight sandpaper to give a regular "brushed" look.
yeah that was kind of what I was leaning towards to fix that
Nicely Done !!! Great Work !!
thanks. I'm pretty happy with it overall. Just need to go clean Kragen out of 3 more switches, pull it apart and hit it with a flap wheel to stylize it, re-assemble and install it. Then comes the fun part of re-doing my wiring and all my relays and such
Looks awesome dude. The only thing i might do is used waterslides to label the switches in a custom font and then clear coat em or something. Or maybe have someone cut em out in vinyl. The switch panel looks so cool that it would be one of the best i've seen if all of the switches had labels like the winch one does.
Great job on the labels. I found that by using clear nail polish over the Dynmo labels they become waterproof and will not come off easily. Best of all its a cheap simple fix for frayed labels

The titan class is barely comparable to the other two because it is more of a tanking class. But the hunters and warlocks have some similarities except for their special ability. They both could be long-medium range characters. Which one would be the best for an all around character?
English#Destiny #player #choices #CharacterClasses
Warlock. Crazy powers? Me thinks yes.
Edited by Zgatto071598: 4/29/2014 1:00:43 PMExo Warlock
Now let me stop you right there. I generally play sniper unless the game has totally botched the class up or the option to do so. In many games I've had to change tactics to suit what the game allowed and Destiny will be no different in that respect. We already know that every class will be able to use every weapon. This has been confirmed by Bungie many times over and we all know it well. The point to that is that every class will be able to play every range dependent on what weapons you choose to run with. That being said, this will all boil down to your personal tactics and use of powers. True the Warlock and the Hunter both have decent range quality to them, but from what we've seen of the Warlock's powers they're not that ranged. As a comparison to this issue we can look at sniping from Borderlands 2. Zero- He is the power sniper out of the bunch. Features high crit headshots and the ability to stealth out of combat if needed. Maya- Features some raw damage upgrades and sports a lockdown sniping tactic. Easily hold targets in place to deal multiple shots of punishing crit damage. Axton- Higher raw combat potential with an emphasis on AR use allowing better mid range combat for targets that have gotten closer than comfortable sniping allows. His main sniping category is suppression & distraction fire with the turret(s) so that he may snipe from a good range and has the added benefit of a quicker transition to scope. Obligatory quick scoping. Salvador- His main feature to the class is as a bullet hose. That being said, he's the least competent sniper in the group for the task, but he's also a decent enough comparison to the Titan. He's best used as an initial sniper to thin out the groups or if you're quick enough eliminate all of them. His big point is going to be the mass slaughter of anything that gets to a mid-close range and I can assure you that you will have things getting close to you in both Borderlands and Destiny. We have at least three confirmed melee based capable units with a possible fourth and one faction that features subterranean corridors that holds two of those confirmed units. Gaige- Anther distraction sniper but with a twist in that her distraction is moving and has the ability to be support/defense as well. Sniping with her is largely based on bait sniping rather than dropping your distraction in the thick of things. Any and all of the classes in Borderlands 2 I have used to great effect in sniping before. No one class can really be called the sniper class in that game and the same can be said for Destiny. To this effect, their is another game you can test drive the Titan's tactics on. Warframe with the Rhino warframe is a decent enough comparison. He features the same ground pound type attack as well as the shoulder rush type attack. I have also used him as sniper as well. To sum this up, what class you want to play sniper as will be more of a question of if you want to use the class to complement your sniping or if you want the class to enhance your sniping.
Why is the titan out of the question, who says you can't make a titan stealthy or make a hunter a tanking class.
Its kind of one sided to say that the titans are barely comparable to the other classes when Bungie even said that every class has something to make the other classes jealous. So, WEEP WITH JEALOUSY!!! TITANS FOREVER!!!! -rips off armor and streaks across the forum-
I can't help but think there is a fourth class hidden somewhere. But if there are three at release then I will go for the warlock, I really like the armor on the hunters and the playstyle, but a friend who I'm going to play with wants to play a hunter as well, so the more strategic choice would be the warlock. I was worried about that at first but when Bungie showed the gameplay trailer I was relieved that the warlock had some range and scopes as well. So my personal preference is going to the warlock at the moment, but I won't make a definitive decision until I know more about the final game.
No, they have not said Titan is a tanking class. They have said they're all built around being a DPS class, but each class brings it's own flavor, the Titan's just happens to be being more beefy to get in your face.
Close combat hunter.
stealth + long range = hunter
Edited by ELEMENTAL: 3/1/2014 5:51:18 PMAt this point, we don't know the exact characteristics of each class, so it's hard to make a decision.. But, we do know a few basics of each, and I like the hunters long-range capabilities
The big dilemma. I've spent a lot of time weighing the pros and cons of each of the 3 classes, at the end of the day however it comes down to Hunter vs Warlock. My first choice is Warlock, however deep down I'm afraid that I may lack the skill to play the class properly ( I'm not very good at FPS's ). I think I have a better chance of making progress through Destiny as a Hunter.
Edited by DiPolarPilot: 3/1/2014 11:03:29 PMNot sure you understand how the class system is actually going to work in this game... There may well be elements of tank/warrior for Titans, mage for Warlocks and rogue for Hunters in terms of some bonuses - but they can all use any gun in the game and their supers definitely sound range focused (Titan - close, Hunter - mid to long, Warlock - mid).
Exo Titan at beta launch. Tank or no tank i love the up close combat over the distance sniping
Exo warlock YEA ROBO GANDALF
Nobody will know how all the classes truly play until the beta. I'm very excited for the beta. *Jumps up and down in seat*
I would love to be the warlock human . Good Armor and magic powers.
Warlock, i can just grab your armor and super nova your chest. Titan, can break every bone in your body. In the end its not what you choose. Its who you want to be and how you want to kill the bad guys lol. Warlock personally
Edited by DefiantPlanet: 2/25/2014 8:07:59 AMAs a Titan is always being called a Tank, how about combining a Warlock, Tank and Hunter.... You'd end up with a Wan... oh wait a minute, that's rude....
Warlocks are designed by Hugo Boss, so go Warlock.
I don't see why the Titan can't function at long range either. We've only seen one of it's at least 2 focuses. And we don't even know if characters are limited to 2 yet.
waiting for the beta and cant really decide

I tried to search the list archives, but the search engine appears to be broken (comes back with an http 404 error). Using the Postgresql JDBC driver (I'm testing with jdbc7.0-1.1.jar) it appears that Statement.getMoreResults() returns false even if there is a result set from the query just executed. Statement stmt = conn.createStatement(); stmt.execute("SELECT * FROM t"); if (stmt.getMoreResults()) { ResultSet rs = stmt.getResultSet(); while (rs.next()) { // process row .... } } The call to getMoreResults() returns false consistently. If the call is replaced with 'if (true) ...' then the code to get the result set and process the rows works fine. Accoring to the JDBC docs, this method should return "true if the next result is a ResultSet; false if it is an update count or there are no more results." There is no update count (as confirmed by getUpdateCount()). Is this a known problem? If this method doesn't work as documented, it's impossible to "work with an unknown SQL string" as the documentation for execute() indicates we should be able to (without parsing the SQL query). -- Bob Kline mailto:bkline(at)rksystems(dot)com http://www.rksystems.com

how or can i enter an already published instructable in to a contest that is relevant to it...if so how???
However, if you significantly improve an existing project (improved photos, better write-up, solve problems found in the original build etc), then you can enter the new version.
Be aware that "improved" would be expected to include "made again, with fresh photos".
Sometimes if I think I have a really good Instructable I hold off publishing it for a month or two to see if a relevant contest pops up or if I have 3 projects in progress and a relevant contest comes up I'll focus on that project.
usually something like "Contest open to entries published between x and y date"

Reason: The Phoenix are learning - pass it on
Brian Clough famously said, "Rome wasn't built in a day, but then again I wasn't on that particular job."
Rome would have been a doddle compared to Wellington. At least the Italians knew how to build from the back. Even ol' big mouth would have struggled to put Wellington together again in a day, given the rubble left behind by Ricki Herbert. Under those circumstances, the re-construction job done by Ernie Merrick seems little short of a miracle.
That is not to say that there won't be a few more shakes before the end of the season. The Phoenix could well get a dusting at the Roar this Friday given they must travel without Carlos Hernandez and Kenny Cunningham, who are away with Costa Rica.
But it is the manner of the Phoenix's rise that has been so impressive. It didn't start with the 5-0 thrashing of the Victory or even with the win just before Christmas against Sydney. It started the moment that Merrick arrived at the club.
It started with the three E's. No, not Ernie, Ernie, and Ernie. But education, evolution and entertainment. Merrick has taught the Phoenix how to play football. It is a huge achievement.
Under Herbert, the Phoenix hoofed long balls forwards from the back. They hoped that Paul Ifill might manage a bit of magic. Defenders took set pieces. Honest, hard-working players like Tony Lochhead went up and down the rails, knocking in hopeful crosses. Vince Lia kicked opponents more often than the ball. The three h's - hack, hoof and hope.
Look at Lia now. I did not believe that he was capable of playing the football he produced on Saturday. Beauty may be too strong a word, but it was certainly good looking. Ernie has got the boys playing touch and pass.
The Phoenix's opening goal came about when Lia controlled the ball with his right foot and knocked the ball through with his left foot. The commentators thought it might be a bit lucky. They wondered whether the pass had gone to its intended receiver. But that was a lack of understanding of what the Phoenix are now about.
Hernandez is allowed a few touches on the ball. Cunningham, Boyd and Huysegems are allowed to dribble and run at defenders. But the back four, Lia and Albert Riera constantly now take one touch and then pass. The point of attack is constantly moving and so are the players.
Lia's pass came through to Hernandez because he was expecting it. If the players are expecting touch and pass then they have to be always on the move. Their feet have to move and their brains have to move. Two-touch football makes you think.
Cunningham's goal was a touch and pass from Hernandez. And the third goal could never have evolved under Herbert. It was touch and pass across the entire back four, with Ben Sigmund finally finding Michael Boxall for the umpteenth time. I did not believe Sigmund could pass as well as he did on Saturday night - and off either foot.
Merrick has got more football out of Boxall in a couple of weeks than Herbert did out of Lochhead in seven years. Boxall was continually giving Sigmund an outlet to the touchline with his movement. He took on defenders as he did in the move that led to the Hernandez penalty. And when the Victory had the ball, Boxall pressed up on the wide man.
Earlier this season Melbourne Victory took the Phoenix apart in the opening 30 minutes. Merrick was tinkering with his formation and the Phoenix players were still at the bottom of a steep learning curve. Adama Traore caused havoc down the Phoenix right, the back four were caught too high up the pitch and the centre backs didn't know whether to hold or fold.
Traore wasn't a factor on Saturday night. Boxall squeezed the touchline and Lia dropped into the space, with Albert Riera coming across when necessary. And even Sigmund, with one exception - sometimes he still just can't help himself - held the line with Andrew Durante.
In a matter of weeks, the back four has learned when to drop and they do it as a line, helped by standing much closer together. It's not quite the old Arsenal just yet, but it gets more accurate by the match. The Phoenix have conceded two goals in their previous five games.
The main man in all of this is the backpacker from Barcelona. And to think they laughed at Gareth Morgan's ambition when he wanted the Phoenix to entertain. The owner now even has his own man from Barca.
Merrick saw Albert Riera playing for Auckland and observed, "We could not get past him and he did not give the pass away either. He has brought the best out of Vince (Lia)."
Riera has brought the best out of the Phoenix now he has adapted to the faster pace of the A-league. Three times in the second half against the Victory, Riera took a touch and hit a sweet through ball. Brockie scored off one of the passes, but each one created a chance. The forwards can time their runs because they know when the pass is coming - touch and pass.
Riera is doing for the Phoenix what Claude Makelele used to do for Real Madrid and Chelsea. A foolish Madrid president let Makelele go, saying, "We will not miss Makelele. His technique is average, he lacks the speed and skill to take the ball past opponents and 90% of his distribution goes backwards or sideways. Young players will cause Makelele to be forgotten."
He is still remembered. Indeed it is now sometimes called the Makelele role. As Zinedine Zidane, the most poetic of players, said at the time, "Why put another layer of gold paint on the Bentley when you are losing the engine."
Riera and Merrick are educating a generation. Riera says himself that he has been passing the ball across the field all his life. Now Lia and Sigmund and other lumpen New Zealanders are starting to pass as well.
And it has been a joy to watch.

UW's nationally recognized ski team invited to world gamesSep 13, 2013 UW Sports Information
LARAMIE - For the second time in two years, the University of Wyoming's nationally recognized men's and women's Nordic ski club teams have been invited to compete in in the World University Games -- this time Dec. 11-21 in Trentino, Italy.
UW is among several U.S. teams invited to compete in the games, known as the Winter Universiade, an international sporting and cultural festival staged every two years in a different city. It is said to be second in importance only to the Winter Olympic Games. More than 50 countries are expected to compete.
Two years ago, UW's team competed in Erzurum, Turkey, against some world-class athletes who have competed in past Winter Olympics.
The UW Nordic club, composed mostly of Wyoming high school graduates, is a national power in the United States Collegiate Ski Association (USCSA) sanctioned races. The UW women's team has won five national titles since Nordic skiing returned as a club sport 15 years ago. The men's team has won four USCSA national championships, including last season.
The Winter Universiade consists of alpine skiing-snowboarding; Nordic skiing composed of jump, cross country and combined; curling; ice hockey; short track speed skating; figure skating; biathlon and one or two optional sports chosen by the host country.
By being the overall top USCSA team -- winning the men's team title and finishing second in the women's competition -- UW "earned bragging rights as the top USCSA team overall," says UW co-head Coach Rachel Watson.
"We were thus invited, for a second time, to represent the United States at the World University Games," she says. "UW will be represented by a group of incredible student-athletes hailing from throughout the nation, but many are from Wyoming. With an average team GPA (grade point average) of 3.59, the athletes representing the university at this international event are performers both in the classroom and on the ski trails."
Christi Boggs is the other co-head coach and the assistant coach is Anna Scofield, from Mammoth, Calif.
Members of the UW Cowgirls team expected to compete in Italy are Sierra Jech, Cody; Sarah Johnson, Duluth, Minn.; Shanna McCleary and Bridget Weiner, both from Casper; Catherine Schmidt, Laramie; and Brita Shroeter, Ironwood, Mich.
Competing for the Cowboys will be Kyle Bochanski of Fairfax, Vt.; Nathan Hough, Patrick Rodgers and Taylor Vignaroli, all from Casper; Sindre Solvang, Cheyenne; and William Via, Fairbanks, Alaska.
"Throughout the summer, these athletes worked hard to raise the money needed to fund their trip to Italy. However, the trip will cost $4,000 per athlete," Watson says. "Many of the athletes have raised some or most of the needed funds, but they are in need of additional support."
Several fundraising events are planned and will be announced later. To donate, contact either Boggs at (307) 766-4238; email firstname.lastname@example.com or Watson at (307) 314-9636; or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Springboarding to next season...
Let no one argue that Springboards doesn't live up to its name. Workshop West's upcoming 35th season contains two new plays by well-known writers with Edmonton connections. Both Brad Fraser's Kill Me Now and Conni Massing's The Invention of Romance got staged readings at the most recent edition of WW's annual Springboards Festival last fall.
Massing's comedy has the rueful twist of a single woman who'[s pretty much given up on love watches while her elderly mother's love life blooms.l The new Fraser, recently workshopped at Toronto's Buddies in Bad Times, is billed provocatively on the playwright's own website as "my heartbreaking comedy about euthanasia." At the centre is a widower who takes care of his disabled son. And the characters include lovers and friends.
The season also includes a new edition of the Canoe Festival, devoted to performance theatre and original ways of creating it.
At the University of Alberta, Studio Theatre's upcoming season contains an intricate and difficult early Shakespeare comedy, Love's Labour's Lost. It opens with a 2006 play by the contentious Brit playwright Mark Ravenhill (Pool (No Water), and continues with Ferdinand Bruckner's Pains of Youth translated by Martin Crimp. Howard Brenton's Bloody Poetry, about the entanglements of love, sex, and romance in the Shelley/Byron crowd, is in the Studio season, too, along with Lorca's Blood Wedding and When The Rain Stops Falling, a complex multi-generational time-leaping play by the Australian playwright Andrew Bovell.

Almay Eyeliner Reviews
Amazing Product for Sensitive EyesI have sensitive eyes and find that they go red depending on the makeup I wear around my eyes. This eyeliner is amazing - my eyes are no longer red when I use this, I can line the inner rim of my eyes with this, it doesn't smudge or irritate. The price is perfect for such a good product. I love how it has its own sharpener (which is a plus!). This is the only eyeliner I use to line the inner rims of my eyes now :o) — 7 years, 11 months agoMandy407 | 12 reviews

very good go-toI have been using this product for the past few years, and it has definitely been a great eyeliner. Personally, I only use pencil eyeliner, but this one has been the best one I've ever tried. It lasts pretty much the entire day, except for maybe having to re-apply if you have it on your bottom lashline (which is no big deal). Even when I go in the pool or the ocean, it takes a while for it to start to smudge. Very good eyeliner, perfect for eeryday use. — 8 years, 4 months agoRemyAlexandra | 4 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lay the foundation stone for the Rs 4,000-crore port-based multi-product special economic zone at Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust at Sheva, Navi Mumbai, on August 16.
"The proposed industrial infrastructure in 277 hectares with a total public and private investment of Rs 4,000 crore is planned as a self-sustainable integrated development project having a potential of generating 1.5 lakh direct and indirect jobs," an official statement said today.
The ambitious SEZ, to be developed through JNPT-SPV (Special Purpose Vehicle) under the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) mode, will be completed in three years.
With focus on the collaborating upcoming sectors of India, the SEZ will develop a free trade warehousing zone, engineering goods sector, electronics and hardware sectors, non-conventional energy sector, multi services (IT and healthcare) sectors and apparel and textiles sectors, the statement said.
Modi will also lay the foundation stone for a Port Connectivity Highway Project at the JNPT and also allot land to JNPT project affected persons (PAPs) under the 12.5 per cent scheme.
The statement said the projects have been expedited by Minister of Road Transport, Highways & Shipping & Rural Development, Nitin Gadkari in the last two months.
The port connectivity highway project with a cost is Rs 1,926.57 crore will be completed by December, 2017.
The Ministry of Shipping has decided to execute this project on EPC mode through SPV. The project has been undertaken under the National Highway Development & Port Connectivity Programme of the Union government.
The statement said due to rapid development in the area on account of development of JN Port, JNPT-SEZ, and the proposed international airport, etc, it was felt necessary to augment the carrying capacity of the existing road network to 6/8 lane configuration by providing improved facilities comprising flyovers, railway over bridges and interchanges for uninterrupted flow of traffic on the road network connecting the Port and the National Highways.
Accordingly, it has been proposed to develop the road network to 6/8 lane configuration with service roads. The NH-4B, Amra Marg & SH-54 was developed to a four-lane facility by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) through the Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) comprising of NHAI, JNPT & CIDCO.
Allotment of land under 12.5 per cent scheme to Project Affected Persons (PAPs) of JNPT has been a long-pending issue.
Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (formerly NhavaSheva Port Trust) was commissioned on May 26, 1989 and 1172 hectares were acquired through Government of Maharashtra from 12 villages for port construction and on resistance it was promised that 12.5 per cent of the developed land would be given to them.
This has resulted in a number of agitations in the past. Resolution of the dispute was essential for smooth operation and future development of JNPT.
The land owners, whose lands were acquired for JNPT, agitated seeking allotment of land under the 12.5 per cent scheme as decided by the Government of Maharashtra in respect of land acquired by CIDCO for the Navi Mumbai project.
A decision was taken to grant the benefit of 12.5 per cent land allotment scheme on humanitarian grounds to the JNPT PAPs, though legally as per the Supreme Court order the Port was not liable to implement 12.5 per cent scheme, the statement said.
Based on the decisions taken, a proposal for Cabinet approval was moved by the Ministry of Shipping to transfer 12.5 per cent of the 1172 hectares of land to Government of Maharashtra to distribute to the JNPT PAPs.
The statement said though 12.5 per cent of 1172 hectares worked out to 146.5 hectares, 35.5 hectares have already been given to 4 villages under the Gaothan Extension Scheme of Maharashtra Government by JNPT.
"Hence, it was proposed to transfer the remaining 111 hectares (146.5 hectares minus 35.5 hectares) which was in accordance with the decisions taken at the meeting on March 22, 2011," it said.
Earlier the Cabinet had approved the transfer of 111 hectares of JNPT land to Government of Maharashtra for allotment to PAPs in line with the Government of Maharashtra's scheme for PAPs of Navi Mumbai of CIDCO.
The Cabinet also allowed JNPT to provide CIDCO the cost of development of minimum amenities (to be finalised in consultation with CIDCO/Government of Maharashtra).
Accordingly, Ministry of Shipping accorded approval to the proposal of JNPT to provide Rs 212.34 crores.
The statement said JNPT based on Cabinet decision had initiated action for allotment of 111 hectares of land but the Chief Minister of Maharashtra had requested for 160 hectares and Shipping Ministry has recently "forwarded a proposal for seeking approval of the Cabinet for sanctioning additional land of 47.20 hectares ...."
The statement said the issue warrants a "permanent solution so that the functioning of the Port, which handles about half of India's international trade, goes on smoothly and unhindered."
Maharashtra Governor K Sankaranarayanan, state Chief Minister Prithviraj Chauhan, Union Minister of Heavy Industries & Public Enterprises Anant Geete among others are are expected to attend the function.
PM to Lay Foundation for Rs 4,000 Crore SEZ at JNPT
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lay the foundation stone for the Rs 4,000-crore port-based multi-product special economic zone at Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust at Sheva, Navi Mumbai, on August 16.

Gary Barlow to quit X Factor at end of current series
Gary Barlow has confirmed he will leave X Factor at the end of the current series.
He had previously denied rumours he had made a decision to quit the ITV show.
But speaking on Saturday night's show he told his group Rough Copy: "I've been here for three years and I'm so glad that for my last year on the show I get to mentor you guys."
The Take That frontman will release his first solo album for 14 years in November.
Rumours had started circulating about his departure in August, after host Dermot O'Leary said the singer would leave the programme when the present series, the 10th, ended.
But speaking at the launch of the series itself at the end of that month, he said he had not made his mind up yet.
"In all honesty, I honestly don't know, it's too early," he said.
"Ask me about two weeks into the live shows and I'll give you an answer on that. But it's far too early."
As well as his solo album Barlow has also been working on the score for the stage version of Finding Neverland and a new Take That album, to be released next year.
Ratings drop
There is speculation that Simon Cowell could return to the show to replace him as a judge.
Speaking at the series launch he hinted he might return to The X Factor as a guest judge this year.
The singing show has suffered falling ratings since Cowell left two years ago, although he has remained hands-on behind the scenes.
But when asked about the possibility of his return in 2013, he told the BBC: "I wouldn't rule it out."
The ratings for Saturday's first live show were more than one million viewers down on the first live show last year.
It had an average of 8.1 million viewers and peaked at 9.5 million.
The same episode last year was watched by 9.2 million, with a peak of 10.3 million.
It left the show 1.7 million viewers behind the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing - also broadcast on Saturday evening - which had its highest audience of the series with 9.8 million viewers and a peak audience of 10.9 million.

Surprise! The people who made Rock Band are making a musical side-scrolling shmup. It's called A City Sleeps and will be out on PC and Mac in October. Lots of details on its Steam page and at IGN.
Check Out This Ex-Game Developer's Terrific Photos of Cops
Antonio Bolfo was an animator at Harmonix, working on video games such as Guitar Hero. Then, with the legacy of September 11 on his mind, he joined the New York Police Department. He started bringing a camera along and snapped photos of the police at work. And then he left the force and made photography his main gig.
Why Japan Never Got Rock Band
A few years back, Rock Band exploded in North America. In Europe. In Australia. It didn't in Japan. There must be a reason for that.
He Kept His Faith In Music Games This Year — And In Kinect
Greg LoPiccolo didn't have to leave his office in a brick building near Boston this year to see how two of the biggest trends in the last half-decade of video games were playing out. There were doubters outside. Inside?
Rock Band Creators Gone From MTV, Taking Hits With Them
The people who make Rock Band and the breakout Kinect dancing game Dance Central have been sold by MTV's parent company Viacom. But they can keep making sequels to those series, if they want to.
Music Games Will Make A Comeback, But How Is A Mystery
Rock Band and Guitar Hero aren't the sensations they used to be. That doesn't mean they're bad. Not Rock Band 3. But they're not the cultural phenomenons they once were. That's temporary, according to a man who should know.
John Lennon's Imagine Album Coming To Rock Band
John Lennon's most popular solo album, Imagine, will be "among the first albums" available for download following this week's launch of Rock Band 3, according to the game's developers.
Rock Band 3's Pro Guitar Mode Is Lefty-Compatible
Ever since we previewed Rock Band 3's Pro Guitar mode, readers have been asking if lefties can play this mode. They can.
Konami And Harmonix End Legal Spat

Pro Guitar Mode Makes Rock Band 3 Harder, Slightly Confusing, Socially Redeeming
At last, your shame will end. At last, you will be able to tell your guitar-playing friends that you too can play guitar, well sorta, thanks to Rock Band 3's pro guitar mode. Plus, you will have learned guitar better.
How Multiplayer Kinect Dancing Works
Dance Central, the body-controlled dancing game from the makers of Rock Band, has multiplayer. It's no Kinect Adventures multiplayer where you'd be standing side-by-side, in a gesture vs. gesture frenzy. No. It does dance battles. You take turns.
Dance Central To Get Jungle Boogie
Dance Central, the upcoming dancing game from Rock Band developer Harmonix, is supporting more than rump shaking. Ten more tunes from the game have been confirmed today.
Where Do You Go After Rock Band 3?
Somewhere else, that's where. Rock Band 3 lead designer Dan Teasdale is leaving Rock Band developer Harmonix. In his blog, he states why.

A Lincoln man is facing up to 20 years in prison after he pleaded no contest to charges connected to a 2012 murder.
Adrian Casares was in Lancaster County Court Friday afternoon. He pleaded no contest to aiding and abetting a felony. The judge found him guilty. He is expected to be sentenced in April.
Casares was arrested, along with Miguel Castillo, after the killing 25-year-old Tyler Schoenrock.
Police say a man delivering newspapers found his body in a rural area north of Lincoln in December 2012.
Preliminary autopsy reports confirm that Schoenrock was shot to death.
In addition to Castillo's first-degree murder charge, he's also facing charges for use of a firearm to commit a felony and possession of a firearm by prohibited person.


text: I'm new at this and have no clue on flash / studio lighting. My question is ... with 1400 watt seconds how much light should I be getting from my flash meter reading? Is that (1400 ws) relativlely low? That would be 700 each. I'm using two units w/bounce umbrellas at about 5 ft from my subject. My readings are very consistent at about 1/8th second at about f/2.8. Walls are dark paneling, carpet is dark blue, subject is dark brown, film speed is 100. This is just a test - nothing major. It just seems as though I'm not getting much of a reading. I expected more from studio lights. Camera to subject was 6 ft. Is this normal for this power supply? Its a brownline. Thanks! Dorothy

Sol: Red tape ruining Spurs
Tottenham captain Sol Campbell has hit out at the club's hierarchy for a lack of silverware.
Campbell insists manager George Graham is not to blame for Tottenham's absence of trophies and instead points the finger at the White Hart Lane hierarchy for holding back the club.
During Graham's first season Spurs won the Worthington Cup but this season the team has been poor in the league and the cup competitions.
And many Spurs fans have turned on Graham for his failure to sign any proven international-class players.
Campbell said: "It's pretty much out of the manager's hands.
"The managerial system is split. It's in the hands of different people and
different departments.
"I just hope the right people wake up and realise.
"We've gone forward in little spurts but nobody is prepared to follow it through.
"It is like if you get engaged and then have cold feet and do not get married.
"Everyone at the club has to get on the same wavelength - it's as simple as that."
The England defender has been linked with a move to Manchester United, but is
still willing to negotiate an extension to his contract, which is due to end in
the summer of 2001.
"I want this club to do well but there's a gap between us and the top sides.
"We need to close it not let it open up further. It's within the club's capabilities but attitudes must change."

NEW YORK (Apr. 16)
The twenty-fifth anniversary of Julian W. Mack, jurist and Zionist leader, as a Federal judge was celebrated last night with a dinner given by the lawyers division of the United Palestine Appeal at the Hotel Pierre. Speakers were Dr. Stephen S. Wise, chairman of the appeal; David L. Podell, chairman of the division, George Z. Medalie, who presided, and Morris Rothenberg, president of the Zionist Organization of America.
Judge Mack described how he was won to Zionism twenty-one years ago by Schmarya Levin and Henrietta Szold despite the fact his previous upbringing had been against it. He lauded Palestine as "a ray of hope" for the Jewish youth of Eastern Europe, adding that immigration into the Holy Land must be by the hundred thousand because "Poland has become a black spot on the face of the earth" in anti-Semitism.
A new lawyers division of the Joint Distribution Committee campaign has adopted a quota of $125,000, it was announced by Carl J. Austrian, chairman of the New York drive for $1,500,000. Eustace Seligman has been named chairman, former Judge Joseph M. Proskauer and Sol. M. Stroock, honorary chairmen, and James N. Rosenberg, vice-chairman.

WASHINGTON — NASA can land a spacecraft on a peanut-shaped asteroid 150 million miles away, but it doesn't come close to hitting the budget target for building its spacecraft, congressional auditors say. NASA's top officials know it and even joke about it.
This week auditors found that on nine projects alone NASA is nearly $1.1 billion over-cost estimates that were set in the last couple of years. Still, the new stimulus package gives NASA $1 billion for climate-watching satellites and exploration, among other things.
Congress' financial watchdog, the Government Accountability Office, reviewed NASA's newest big-money projects and found most were either over budget, late or both.
"Getting an extra infusion of money doesn't necessarily mean you have a capability to spend it well," said Cristina Chaplain, GAO's acquisitions chief who wrote the study.
A second GAO report used NASA as one of its leading poster children for bad practices in estimating costs.
The space agency, which has a budget of about $18 billion, needs "a more disciplined approach" to its projects, the GAO said.
NASA spending has been on GAO's "high risk" list since 1990. Its cost overrun problems will be the subject of a House Science Committee hearing today.
In a statement, NASA said its missions "are one-of-a-kind and complex, which always makes estimating challenging. … We do believe NASA is a good investment of federal funds and strive to provide the best value." It said external forces, such as launch availability, also cause delays and cost increases, and that it has improved its cost estimating.
