A student who is either registered for fall 2014 classes or graduating at the end of the 2014 summer term. If you are either a student graduating in May 2014 (and in need of summer housing), or a student that would like to request special arrangements, contact the Office of Residence Life. You do not need to be taking summer classes to stay on campus. There are many residents who work full-time off-campus that stay for the summer.
If you are signing up for a specific program, contact your Program Coordinator to see the housing arrangements they have made for your program.
We do allow other visitors to reside on campus if they are participating in volunteer, work, and internship opportunities in the La Crosse area. Contact email@example.com to learn more.
The cost for summer housing is listed on the Undergraduate and Graduate Summer Housing Information Web pages. The cost for your stay depends on the number of other residents you prefer to stay with. The summer rates are based on a Sunday to Sunday weekly rate. There is an additional $5 program fee for any resident staying longer than two weeks. This fee goes towards the Summer RA programs that are put on for residents throughout the summer. There is more information below regarding the program fee.
Once you submit your summer housing reservation, the business office will update your student account through VitNet for the amount you owe. This is typically done the first week of May. If you make any changes to your summer housing reservation, the business office will update your student account. If you are not a Viterbo University student, the Office of Residence Life will contact you regarding payment.
Pending on the number of summer residents staying on campus, residents will either stay in Treacy or McDonald Apartments. This will be decided in early May and residents will be emailed their room assignments the first week of May.
On the summer housing reservation, you have the choice to list your room, floor, and roommate preferences. Apartment and roommate assignments are based on a few different factors—the immediacy of getting placed in summer housing, similar stay times for the summer, and if requested to be roommates. Your floor level request will be taken into account as best as possible for your room location.
In the case that your next school year's housing assignment is in the summer housing apartments, the Office of Residence Life will try its best to place you in your future apartment to reduce the number of moves you have to make. However, this may not be possible in all cases due to other circumstances. Also, if you are currently living in the summer housing apartment, you may be able to remain in your current room assignment rather than making an additional move.
Most residents will move into their summer apartments the second week of summer. Some summer residents may need to move during the finals week of spring semester due to planned renovations to their residence hall or apartment. If you plan on staying only for the first three weeks of summer, you will typically stay in your school year housing assignment. If you plan to move into on-campus housing anytime after summer starts (for example the month of July), you will move directly into your summer apartment when you arrive.
Depending on when you will be moving, you will receive an email for when your summer apartment is ready for you to move in. Your new key and housing inventory will be available in the Office of Residence Life at this time and your student ID will be activated for the summer apartment. When you are all moved into your summer apartment, you may call the RA on call at 608-796-3500 to check you out of your school year room and your student ID will be deactivated from there. When you are all moved into your new apartment, complete your new housing inventory and turn it into the Office of Residence Life. Moving carts are available through the Office of Residence Life.
The summer RAs are current Viterbo University students and they reside in summer housing along with the other residents. They go through an interview and selection process, and if selected, they attend an orientation and training in the spring semester leading up to the summer session. The names of the RAs will be provided on your summer housing assignment. They perform a number of responsibilities such as handle the checking-in and out process, complete nightly rounds, design door decorations, sort student mail, organize summer programs, and a number of other duties. One RA is always on call and they can be reached at 608-796-3500 24 hours a day.
The $5 program fee for any resident staying longer than two weeks goes towards the Summer RA programs for summer residents. This amount will be added to your student account along with your housing charge. During the summer, each summer Resident Assistant will organize a program for residents staying on campus. These programs range from a cookout, book club, bonfire, and attending a La Crosse Loggers baseball game. The fee will help cover the expenses for the programs. Typically, there are no additional charges for any of the Summer RA programs. If you have a program idea, contact one of your summer RAs to suggest it.
In early to mid-August you will move out of summer housing and into your fall housing assignment if you are staying the summer. You will receive an email in early August for this transition.
Campus Dining services are closed during the summer. There is a stove, oven, and kitchen fridge provided in your summer apartment, and a microwave is provided in the basement for you to prepare meals. Many residents bring cookware to prepare meals.
The Student Union desk will be open limited hours over the summer (typically 9 a.m.–2 p.m.) and will have extended hours for days when camps and conferences are held on-campus. Your mail will continue to be sorted and put into your mailbox in the Student Union as long as you are residing on campus this summer. Please continue to check this regularly.
Parking permits are not needed for the summer. Make sure you are parked in a Resident Lot (Lots D, F, L, N, O, and Q) if you will be having a vehicle here for the summer. Check out the campus map for specific locations.
Contact email@example.com as soon as possible to update your reservation, billing, and room assignment.
Use your next year's storage unit if you do not want to take your items to your summer apartment.
Have a lot of plastic tubs and boxes? Borrow a cart from the Office of Residence Life. Call the RA on-call, 608-796-3500, to help you check one out
Keep an extra box or plastic tub to put extra items that may not fit (i.e., too many pots and pans? Pack them in a tub and put them in your closet or storage). That way you have those items with you in case you do need them, no need to call mom and dad to send a pot back to school.

Head-Quarters, near Whitemarsh, 15 miles fromPhila., October 30, 1777.
By this opportunity I do myself the pleasure to congratulate you on the signal success of the army under your command, in compelling General Burgoyne and his whole force to surrender themselves prisoners of war; an event that does the highest honor to the American arms, and which, I hope, will be attended with the most extensive and happy consequences. At the same time, I cannot but regret, that a matter of such magnitude, and so interesting to our general operations, should have reached me by report only, or through the channel of letters, not bearing that authenticity, which the importance of it required, and which it would have received by a line under your signature, stating the simple fact.
Our affairs having happily terminated at the northward, I have by the advice of my general officers sent Colonel Hamilton, one of my aids, to lay before you a full state of our situation, and that of the enemy in this quarter. He is well informed upon the subject, and will deliver my sentiments upon the plan of operations, that is become necessary to be pursued. I think it improper to enter into a particular detail, not being well advised how matters are circumstanced on the North River, and fearing that by some accident my letter might miscarry. From Colonel Hamilton you will have a clear and comprehensive view of things, and I persuade myself you will do all in your power to facilitate the objects I have in contemplation.
[1 ]General Gates wrote a very short letter to Washington, on the 2d of November, and of course before this could have reached him, giving notice that Morgan's corps had been sent to the southward. He added, apparently as a matter of secondary consequence: "Congress having been requested immediately to transmit copies of all my despatches to them, I am confident your Excellency has long ago received all the good news from this quarter." These words contain the only intelligence, which was transmitted to the Commander-in-chief by General Gates, respecting the defeat of Burgoyne, and the convention of Saratoga.

Before I got this lame keyboard that stops responding if too many keys are pressed at the same time, I could still maintain a pretty good frag count on most online Skulltag servers using the keyboard alone though.

Noe Valley apartment description
Vacation ? Business Travel ? Family Reunion ? Graduation ? Wedding ? Stay here at our large, comfortable, fully furnished two bedroom flat in the Noe Valley with a full kitchen, family room, dining room and laundry room; all linens and towels provided. Great for singles, couples, families and family get-togethers. Beds for six (one queen, two twins and one double sofabed) but has plenty of room for more (aerobeds - we provide). 'Porta-crib' is also available for infants. Large patio, garden and deck for outdoor relaxation.
Feel like you live here. Restaurants, coffeehouses, markets, transportation all outside your door.
Stay in a completely self-sustaining neighborhood – a little village within the city itself. The pace is slow. The sidewalks tend to be narrow and crowded with tables and chairs, strollers and dogs, kids and grown-ups. It is one of the safest places in the City.
There are coffeehouses and coffee shops, restaurants for every taste, vegetable stores and butcher shops, laundromats and dry cleaners, drugstores and markets, nail and hair salons, a library, a tearoom, an ice cream store and a park complete with tennis court, gym, baseball field, basketball courts, swings, sandbox, jungle-gym. And for browsing there are record stores, wine shops, clothing and jewelry stores, banks, pet stores, flower shops, furniture and second-hand stores and, a pub or two … all within WALKING distance … and all GOOD. Wi-fi can be found in all of the local coffeehouses.
The J street-car (stops at the corner) will take you right downtown, on to AT&T Park, and will connect you to anywhere in the City.
Nearby neighborhoods that surround the Noe Valley include Glen Park – another sleepy area; Bernal Heights – kind of funky; the Mission – Latin flavor all around; great Mexican and Central American food abounds; Valencia Street corridor – hipster clubs and restaurants; and the Castro.

We recently stayed at this flat for 7 nights at the beginning of June and couldn't have had a better experience. Joan was a pleasure to deal with both over the phone and via email as we made plans leading up to our trip. While we were there she was also available every time we called with questions or for advice. She was a wealth of information in regards to getting around the neighborhood as well as places nearby. As others have said, the photos don't do the place justice. It's large and bright and delightfully decorated. There is a newer TV now that we plugged in our HDMI cable to watch shows we had saved to our laptop. There is also a comfy pull out couch in the front window that my daughter slept on for the duration of the trip. There is some outside J line noise but we live near a highway ourselves so it wasn't unbearable. The location was perfect for us. Rather than staying in a downtown hotel, it's so nice to feel like you're really part of the neighborhood. We stocked up on groceries at the Safeway a few blocks away on our first day and picked up other random items from the small fruit and vegetable corner store. We had "brunch" at Toast just around the corner and it was amazing. We had a great pub dinner with juke box music at Noe's Bar at Church and 24th, probably a 15 min walk. As Joan had told us, the J line Muni went right downtown to the Embarcadero station in about 25 minutes. From there we walked to the Alcatraz Ferry, the America's Cup Pavilion and even to Fisherman's Wharf (this was a bit of a walk). We got off at the Montgomery station and walked straight down 2nd to AT&T park for a couple of Giants games. We also walked to the nearest Bart station (Glen Park – about 15 mins) to visit family across the Bay. We had no need for a car – the location was so wonderful and so many beautiful buildings and areas to visit right in Noe Valley. We can't wait to go back :). Thanks Joan!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Joan couldn't have been more helpful, not only with getting the flat booked, but also answering any and all questions we had regarding the city, as three of us were San Fran first-timers. She informed us the flat would not be available until 2 pm that day, and graciously allowed us to drop our bags off, as were were to attend a sporting event right away. When the game time was switched, she still gave us the option to drop our bags off, as we had gotten into town around 10 am. Much to our delight, the flat was already available. Not only did it have a full kitchen, but two huge bedrooms and a well-sized living room. The four of us all had private and more than adequate sleeping quarters. The flat is located about a five-minute walk to Walgreens and Safeway, and even less time to get to the J Muni train, which connects you to BART and anywhere else in the Bay Area in no time. Simply put, we couldn't have been more pleased with our experience regarding the flat, and we will most definitely be looking to book with Joan the next time we come to town. In fact, our time in the Bay Area was so enjoyable, we look to make this an annual or semi-annual tradition. The flat and the way Joan treated us is a major reason why. Needless to say, I highly suggest this place to anybody. I didn't click on the people with pets option because I honestly don't know their policy regarding pets. Cheers and thanks again Joan.Recommended for: People with disabilities, families with young children, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, girls getaway, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, sightseeing.
Owner response: Thanks you guys ... It was great to meet you all and so glad you enjoyed your time in the City ... hope to see you next year !

My husband, my two daughters aged seventeen and twenty two and I stayed in this apartment for five days. The apartment was wonderful!– very spacious, clean and conveniently located. The neighbourhood was friendly with a variety of restaurants and shops and close to transportation. This was our second stay in San Francisco and we were aware of difficulties parking but we were fortunate to secure a parking space directly outside the apartment for the duration of our stay. We have no hesitation in recommending this apartment.Recommended for: Families with young children, age 55+, families with teenagers, tourists without a car, sightseeing.

My husband, 1-year old daugher and I stayed here in late September / early October while visiting family in the area and couldn't have been happier. The location is great, very convenient to family-friendly Noe Valley. The Noe Valley Recreation Center is just up the street - our daughter played here happily every day with lots of other children. 24th Street was a quick 15 minute walk, with lots of great places to eat there and in-between. We weren't bothered by the street noise, though (full disclosure) we're city-dwellers ourselves so city noise is for us a fact of life. Thank you Joan, we look forward to staying here again in the future!Recommended for: Families with young children, age 55+, families with teenagers, tourists without a car.
Owner response: Thanks for the kind words ... We are so glad you loved all the neighborhood has to offer ... we do too ! ... hope you visit again soon. Joan

Excellent Place to Stay in SF

While the weather wasn't very good during our stay, that had nothing to do with the property. Everything worked out great for our family of four (two boys 17 and 10). Plenty of room to spread out and accomodate different sleeping schedules. The front room is great for reading. The kitchen was fully equiped and we liked having a washer/drying available. Only caution on the washer is to put the detergent in the bottom [not on top of the clothes] so you don't get bleach spots on the wash. We used a muni pass and the "J" train exensively and covered a lot of ground during the week. Plan about 45 minutes to get to the downtown. If you have your computer you can use 511 website [google 511, homeaway won't let me post a link] or dial "511" from your cell to get train schedules. Plenty of restaraunts in the neighborhood and over on Mission Street plus a Safeway supermarket only two blocks away for provisions. The only caution is that the streetcar runs right in front of the house so you can hear it, but it wasn't objectionable and any urban location will have city noises. We would strongly recommend this property to anyone wanting a "homeaway" experience in an incredible city. We loved being in a neighborhood instead of a hotel on the wharf. We would do it again and not change a thing. Thanks Joan for a memorable visit and a great home away from home!! One additional travel tip: if going to Alcatraz during the summer season book online before you get here. They were sold out two weeks in advance. We managed to score some tickets because of a cancellation for two of us but that was just luck.Recommended for: Families with young children, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, tourists without a car, sightseeing.

We stayed at Joan's place for five nights, having decided on the Noe Valley as a central location for sightseeing in SF, and it turned out to be the perfect choice. The flat is delightful, with lovely wooden floors and high ceilings, nice furnishings and everything was spotless, and the pictures dont really do the place full justice - it has a huge amount of space and had everything we needed, fantastic kitchen, great lounge and sitting out in the quiet and private backyard was a real treat.The location of flat was perfect, literally just around the corner from the Muni stop ($2 ride to downtown SF or the beach without needing to change was great value) and we enjoyed Marthas for coffee and breakfast, as well as Barneys Burgers on 24th Street so much we went back again. The area feels super safe and was very quiet even during peak weekday times. The grocery store on the corner was amazing and Safeway was just around another corner for a big shop, and we could happpily stay here without a car - Parking?...well this is SF and but we found places without too much bother. We throughly recommend this place to anyone needing a convenient base in a lovely area, and we hope to stay at Joans place in next time we're in SF, Thanks Joan!

We stayed in this flat for several days with our three boys and loved it. It is big, comfortable, clean and well appointed. We appreciated having room to spread out and a place for breakfast and snacks. The neighborhood is full of great restaurants and small shops. We bought delicious Acme bread and fresh fruit for breakfast every morning at the corner shop. Public transportation couldn't be easier. Our City Pass got us free transportation on all Muni streetcars, busses and cable cars. It made traveling the city a breeze! Joan was a pleasure to rent from. We will be back!Recommended for: Families with young children, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, girls getaway, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, sightseeing.
Owner response: Angie ... we are so glad you and your family enjoyed your stay ... looking forward to seeing you in the future !

We stayed here with 4 adults and 3 small kids. We found the apartment to be very beautiful and clean with a nice back patio. There was plenty of room for all of us. The place is accurately described and we found it to be larger and prettier than it looks in the pictures. The owner was responsive and friendly. If you have kids, there is a portacrib and stroller in the front closet. The neighborhood is great with a bunch of little local restaurants around. The J-Church train stop is right around the corner so it's very easy to get downtown from there. We would definitely recommend this apartment to friends and we would be very happy to stay there again if we find ourselves in San Francisco again.Recommended for: Families with young children, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, tourists without a car, sightseeing.
Owner response: Thank you ! .... We know how hard it was to travel traveled with our own kids so, we thought we could make it a bit easier to have the portacrib and stroller already here for families. We are so glad you enjoyed your time here and hope to see you all again.

My sister and brother and I spent a week in SF and stayed at this wonderful flat in Noe Valley. First, the place is HUGE. The eat in kitchen alone could accomodate 4-6 people easily. Did I mention there is also a full separate dining room that seats 6-8 people! The appliances all look new, plus there's a laundry room off the kitchen with full size washer and dryer. The apartment was spotless, and had a spacious updated bathroom. The beds were all very comfortable, which is saying something since we are all over fifty. Public transportation is literally at your doorstep. The neighborhood is quiet and charming and has many restaurants, coffee shops and local groceries (the best meal I had, and there were plenty of great meals, was at a place around the corner called Pomelo, fantastic!). Also, the owners were very available and accomodating with all our requests. It was such a pleasure to stay at this apartment. This was a once in a lifetime trip for my family and staying at this apartment only made the whole experience that much better. I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone.Recommended for: Families with young children, age 55+, girls getaway, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, sightseeing.
Owner response: Ed ... thanks so much for the kind words ... the whole point is to make the family feel comfortable - like it was your own home for the time you were there ... thanks again ...

he should also have to pay the cost of extra audits, hiring of extra staff to unwind his messes, all legal fees, penalties.. And at least a portion of what he spent without getting appropriate approvals (whether or not it was to his personal benefit). And do prison time for what has happened in two communities.
Would be nice if we can know where the $s come from also (his $s or wealthy anonymous donors who still back him for his support of their projects and their kids)

I agree. Also, "Tim Hanretty Damage Control Fund" contributions should be solicited from his numerous fan boys and girls who posted here using insults, condescending remarks, etc, to stifle or bark down anyone who dared try to discuss the situation, or post opinions that the supporters didn't want publicly shared. There even were scathingly critical comments aimed toward the Almanac writer who dared to cover the story, in the first place. Either this con made a lot of "friends," or he has a lot of relatives...

RSL extended its MLS regular-season unbeaten streak to 18 games and home undefeated streak to 27 on a rocky night for many of its players at Rio Tinto Stadium Wednesday night. Here's how they did:
Nick Rimanado
The veteran goalkeeper had a clutch save in the first half, a terrific breakup in the second and provided surprisingly good distribution out of the box on a cold, wet and windy night. Besides that he tied Zack Thornton for second place on MLS career shutout list with his 76th clean sheet. Much of that must be shared with his stingy defense that allowed only one shot on goal but Rimando came up strong when called upon. Grade: A
Tony Beltran
Tony was like American Express Wednesday night; everywhere he needed to be. Giving Robbie Russell a breather, his pressure and spacing were superb all night long and what he lacked in the long, switching crosses we're used to from Russell he made up for in box-to-box hustle and some terrific crosses in the final third. Grade: A-
Jamison Olave
Olave was terrific when he stayed at home and played his position. But on more than one occasion he left his post to ramble into the final third with the ball still at his feet, leaving fellow center back Borchers wondering why he was suddenly alone and exposed on the backline. But soccer can be a game of luck. And rather than spelling disaster, as it easily could have, his down-field run in the 92nd minute drew the foul that gave Real its goal scoring opportunity. Grade: B
Nat Borchers
Borchers played conservatively. And thank goodness for that. With Olave "running around the field like a mad man," as Borchers joked in a post game interview, somebody had to. He paid attention to the small stuff and it paid off big time with a Borchers led backline allowing only one recorded shot on goal. I would have given him an A if not for the uncontested easy header on goal he missed in the first half. Grade: A-
Kyle Beckerman
Captain Beckerman worked hard from box to box as always but seemed hampered by Colorado's tight defense and possible fatigue from playing two-and-a-half games in seven days. Some of his decisions were rushed and his defense became lax in the final 20 minutes of the second half when he allowed a couple of Rapids players easy access to the box with some lazy pokes rather than his typical holding defense. Grade: B
Chris Wingert
Wingert might be best graded on two halves. The first half he was rushed and often out of position and his passes were off target all half. Half 1 Grade: C-. But he came out a new man in the second half and settled into one of his best halves of the season with patience and dead-on field positioning to go with solid distribution from his winger position. Half 2 Grade: A. Game Grade: B-
Andy Williams
The Jedi master was well rested and it showed. His pressure in the midfield was terrific all night long and he created a number of great scoring opportunities with what would have been perfectly weighted passes on any other night when the wet ground wasn't slick as ice. It's too bad it wasn't his assist that Espindola scored on as they teamed up all night to frighten Rapids fans with several near scoring opportunitites. Grade: A
Javier Morales
The Argentine playmaker was taken down in the box on a non-call in the eighth minute and it shook his typically rock-solid rhythm the rest of the night. He did manage to put two very special balls into the box for a called back goal by Espindola and the final free kick that magically bent around the wall to ricochet off the right post for Paulo Jr. to gather up and slide to Espindola for the winning goal.

DPMS take down pins
I recently purchased a new DPMS from a individual and I noticed that there is some play where the pins are. Is this ok, normal, fixable or should I have a smith look at it?
It's normal what the play is coming from is a lose fit between the upper and the lower rec.'s. Most AR's do this unless your lucky and get a tight fitting set or bought a high end custom AR. You don't have many options to stop it just part of owning a AR you could try this thing Called the Gapper i think it fits between the upper and lower they cost about 3 bucks but I don't think they help much

Yes they do.
I have a DPMS 6.8spc wiht a gapper and it makes a really snug fit between the upper and lower.
Thanks guys I will check into that.
some slack would be considered normal for an ar series. some (not all) of the weapons i carried while in the service were well--loose as a goose.
a commercial versions seem to be all over the place. my CDD/double star fits very tightly,my dpms/dpms fits tight , my LMT stuff fits pretty tight, DSA fits very tight and my cav-arms polymer fit is super-super duper- tight.
now my colt 7.62x39 is a bit on the loose side. not as loose as the military a-1 but noticeable. my colt a-1 upper is pretty gappy/loose. my 80's era bushmaster is sort of gappy and loose but not as much as the colts. they all seem functional enough.
a gapper plug might help them but i never bother with such things as long as the weapon functions i wouldn't worry about it much. some people swear that a loose fit affects accuracy. i have seen some very loose fitting rifles that shot very accurately so i don't think it has much to do with it either.
some people swear that a loose fit affects accuracy. i have seen some very loose fitting rifles that shot very accurately so i don't think it has much to do with it either.
Never bought in to myself, I have a Yankee hill Upper and lower with no play at all Wish i could say its accurate but my barrel has been on back order for so so soo long I have other brands with little to lots of play I dont think it effects the accuracy at all. The Barrel is the most important part for tight group down range.
If you Have a True "Factory DPMS Rifle" your seral # should be all numbers, if there is a letter "K" at the end of the number the lower rec. was sold as a Lower and some one could have put any brand of upper on it and sold it to you. I try to match the brands of uppers and lowers more for color than fit but if you just dont like the slop look in to a DPMS upper the fit might be better
i just ordered a DPMS lpk to go with my stripped DPMS lower. when it arrives i'll check it for fit on the middy and the CDD-m4.
it will give at least a baseline to go on.
i just assembled the DPMS lower today with the DPMS lower parts kit. i then attached the DPMS lower to a brand new DS arms upper.
it fits pretty tight in the front pin area but it is a bit loose in the rear pin area. the rifle still lacks buffer tube spring,buffer ect- so it MIGHT get a bit tighter with the rifle finished.
it does seem a quite a bit looser than my others in the back pin area. but it could be just my finishing two very tight rifles a double-star and a cav-arms making it look looser to me than it really is.
good things about the DPMS with DPMS LPK. to me the trigger pull seems very good. not quite LMT/colt good but not all that far off and much better overall feel than i was expecting. i suppose i was expecting a trigger with 10lbs+ of pull and full of grit! and i figure it will get better with time. the DPMS has a very nice flat black finish. i don't think it is as good as my double-star but certainly better than some other lowers i have seen lately.
the mag well on the DPMS is a bit tighter than my double-star. p-mags do not drop free. it is not so tight they will hang up solid. it is about as tight a fit as the cav-arms in that respect.steel mags are fine.
i sort of figured that DPMS and double star are the same more or less since they are LAR forgings but there are some subtle things there i didn't expect --like the mag well being a little tighter and the plastic pistol grip that came with the DPMS LPK had to be spread out with a wedge before it would fit on the lower? never seen that before.
--this is one of the few non-franken gun builds for me. i suppose it is the only build that has the same LPK brand as the lower i have put together so far--although i will likely mix & match in some del-ton parts and other brands of parts to finish the kit later.
i don't think it is too loose--but it is certainly looser than most of my other AR-15/m4orgeries in the rear pin area.
update to the DPMS lower.
i played musical chairs with my ar-15/mforgery uppers and lowers today. it seems the DS arms upper i got from AIM is where the looseness in the rear pin area is.
i put the dpms/DTI middy upper on the DPMS nearly no slack at all. changed the DPMS lower to the CDI-charles daily upper--the same tightness = nearly no slack. placed the DS-arms upper on my other lowers and volia! the slack was there now!!! except in the cav-arms that is. the only conventional lower that wasn't so loose was a DS-arms witch was abnormally tight with all my other uppers.
the DPMS upper has the BCA forgings. the CDD has key-hole cerrio forge forging. the slightly loose DS-arms is a cardinal forge part.
none of the uppers i have including the DS arms has any slack at all with the cav-arms polymer lower.
so the slack in my dpms lower/DS-a upper is in the upper not the lower.
my only gripe so far about the DPMS lower is that some mags fit tight--a bit too tight for my taste. the dpms lower and dpms lpk makes for very good trigger about 4&1/2lbs out of the box. i could have got just got lucky on that though.
as with all things you might order the exact same parts from the same places and get the opposite--so YMMV!!
update to the update-
the DSA upper with barrel installed when placed on a finished DPMS or double star lower build has very-very little slack in it. it seems that the sum of the parts fit much closer than the same parts fitted without barrels-stocks and so forth.
the DSA upper in finished state is about as tight on the DPMS and DS lowers as the others. it does fit super tight on the DSA lower and cav-arms though. nothing at all wrong with the DSA m4 upper.
The little rubber plugs work well for tightening up the slop. I put one in my new DPMS, and now it's a bear getting that rear pin out. However, no slop at all. Good $6.00 investment.
Since we are talking about new DPMS AR's.... I just received my first one. Can someone tell me if this bolt looks like it should or if it looks dirty/used? To me it looks dirty, but as previously stated, its my first AR... This rifle was suppose to be brand new from the factory, so I want to make sure everything looks good.
~ Andy
ps.. i just ordered a Gapper :)
I think DPMS might have test fired it
Is there any pitting on the bolt face cant tell from the pic.
Thanks for the response. I don't see any pitting or damage, it just looks dirty. Not sure if this pic helps any more than the rest...
Does the dirt/marks on here look like dpms shot it once as a test fire or like the dealer rented the gun for a month?
Is it worth making a fuss over or should i just clean it and move on?
~ Andy
the bolt has been fired a few times for sure. could be as simple as it was test fired before being shipped. which many AR builders do. i know wouldn't ship one that hadn't had a couple rounds fired to make sure it is working.
Looks like a test fire to me. give it a little cleaning and have fun. It's all ways a good idea to clean any firearm before you go and shoot it for the first time. Just to check to make sure the barrel is clean and clear, get any packing grease off and to get a thin coat of oil on the important parts
Thanks for the re-assurance that everything looks acceptable!
~ Andy

The Atlanta Braves made their first trade of the year Wednesday, and it was for Brewers backup catcher Wil Nieves.
Please do not mistake this trade for something more; this is simply a move to add organizational depth while Brian McCann is on the disabled list. Nieves will have absolutely no effect on the Braves at the trade deadline and I'd be surprised if he gets more than three or four at-bats in Atlanta. Basically, he's a healthy body who is capable of being a catcher for a few innings should something come up.
The Braves sent cash considerations to the Brewers in exchange for the catcher. I'd be surprised if it was anything more than a few thousand dollars or so.

Weather results from many interacting facets of the planet: the shape and cover of the land; the amount of water in the air and soil; the chemical composition of the atmosphere; the Earth's rotation and orbit.
Each of these factors exerts its own influence. As a result, the overriding impulse of our out-of-balance planet is to seek balance. This is what creates changes in our weather.
Air pressure – the weight of air -- is an important part of this. Warm air is lighter than cold air (think of the warmth near the ceiling of a room compared to the chill near the floor). Also, wet air is lighter than dry air.
Thus warm, moist air rises while cool, dry air sinks.
When relatively cool, dry air moves into a region, it is called a high pressure system. As this cool, dry air sinks from its own weight, it pushes the air that's in its way outward. As result, winds are moving to the outside of the system and the interior is still. High pressure systems are known for quiet weather.
In the winter, the dryness of a high pressure system allows temperatures to plummet at night, after the warming effect of the sun is gone. (Water droplets in moist air harbor warmth.)
So why is this relevant now?
Temperatures plummeted across the region on Tuesday as an intense high pressure system settled over the region with its core above the Omaha metro.
According to the National Weather Service, the Omaha metro area recorded its seventh coldest Nov. 12 on record Tuesday, when the overnight low dropped to 11 degrees. Had there been snow on the ground, temperatures would have dropped even more.
In Verdel, Neb., the coldest spot in the state, temperatures dropped to 4 degrees, according to Natalie Umphlett, regional climatologist at the High Plains Regional Climate Center.
In Iowa, the lowest overnight low was 1 degree below zero in Spencer, according to Harry Hillaker, state climatologist. One reason Spencer got colder was that it had snow on the ground, he said.
Those low temperatures coincided with the Omaha metro recording its highest pressure reading since Janaury 2009, according to Cathy Zapotocny, meteorologist with the National Weather Service.
The pressure reading on Tuesday peaked at 30.90" (inches of mercury) at 8:52 a.m., about two hours after temperatures bottomed out.

Unsivilized - Whippin Da Bass ft. Rick Ross
Artist: Unsivilized
Featuring: Rick Ross
Producer: Issaic Oppus
Album: Head 2 Da Sky Mixtape
Avg Rating: 2.6 ( 24 total votes )
Continuing South Florida's rapid expansion of the proverbial hip-hop map, rap duo Unsivilized is hoping that Fort Lauderdale can find its proper place. And what better way to get your city "on" than by showcasing its favorite pastime on your debut single? For MC's Lil' One and Nicess, that pastime includes pulling up in a decked-out Chevy and Whippin' Da Bass from the trunk's speakers. No stranger to that custom himself, fellow SoFlo representa' Rick Ross throws in sixteen stuntin' bars, but what really makes a track like Whippin' Da Bass work is – obviously — the beat. In this case, let's just say producer Issaic Oppus knows what he's doing. The group's mixtape, Head 2 Da Sky, is currently available on the streets of the Sunshine State.

You want a serious debate about immigration? Let's have one, then
Labour MP Frank Field delivered a measured response yesterday to census figures showing a 7.1 per cent increase in the population of England and Wales. "This is not so much a wake-up call, it is almost time for the firing squad for politicians who have allowed this to happen," he said.
Actually for Frank that was quite restrained. Just before the general election he decided to go for his own little paddle in the rivers of blood. "Our political leaders must allow the ballot box to decide this issue before anger over the scale of immigration spreads to our streets," he warned.
Good old Frank; he tells it like it is. If only we had a few more plain-speaking politicians like that. Calls for summary executions and breathless warnings of civil unrest are what every mature democracy needs from its elected representatives.
This morning's Telegraph leader calls for "a mature debate" on immigration. OK, then let's have one. And let's start by giving the firing squads and riots a miss.
Last week the Office for Budget Responsibility produced a report which showed that higher rates of immigration are actually good for the economy, good for growth and good for deficit reduction. Specifically, the OBR calculated that higher immigration would raise the annual growth rate over the next five decades from 2.4 per cent to 2.7 per cent. As a result the size of the fiscal consolidation needed to bring down the public debt to 40 per cent of GDP would actually be reduced.
That's from the Office of Budget Responsibility. Not some Lefty think-tank or Blairite quango. That, to me, is a mature contribution.
This isn't. "This is the tipping point, the point where growth in London and the South East populations tip us overboard into the English Channel," wrote Janice Atkinson-Small in the Mail, "and I'd like to drag Blair, Brown, Balls, Miliband, Vaz et al into the sea with the rest of us." We're falling into the sea, are we, Janice? Seriously?
Yes, I know how the liberal Left has dealt with legitimate concerns about the impact of immigration in the past. We'd knock on the door of some run-down housing estate. Someone would answer and we'd jump into the script; "I'm from the Labour Party. Can I ask what issues are worrying you?". The NHS, jobs, housing, welfare. All would elicit a sympathetic smile, and an extended discussion about Labour's policy prospectus. But one word on immigration and the smile would be replaced by a curt nod, a "sorry for troubling you", and we'd be on our way.
We get it. People "worry about immigration", Ed Miliband told the Labour party last month. "They worry it might make things harder rather than easier for them and their kids. Worrying about immigration, talking about immigration, thinking about immigration, does not make them bigots … and since this conversation is going on in the houses, streets and neighbourhoods of Britain, it must be a conversation that the Labour Party joins too."
I support immigration. I believe Britain is economically, socially and culturally richer for it. But I accept others have a different view, and I'm prepared to have a sensible debate with them.
But I'm not sure they're ready for a sensible debate with me. "You can't say anything about immigration without being called a racist," they cry. No, actually, you can. Everyone from the Left to the Right now accepts we have to talk about immigration.
The question is how we talk. Because it's not the liberal supporters of immigration who now have a problem with a mature discussion, it's the opponents. It's not us who are banging on about firing squads and riots and the country being swamped or people being pushed into the sea.
It's not me that's rebranding London "Londonistan", or warning of how Britain is "creating a terror state within".
Do people who claim to be concerned about immigration want a dialogue? Or do they just want to vent and rant?
Because those of us who see the benefits are well up for that debate. And you know why? Because we'll win it.
We know the British people want sensible, fair and balanced migration. But we know also they're not into their country being turned into a fortress. Or seeing their fellow citizens, whatever their country of origin, being stigmatised. And they're certainly not going to be told what to think by a travelling circus of second-rate Enoch Powell mini-mes.
Deep down I suspect the opponents of immigration know this. That's why they're the one's who are now scared of having a serious and sensible discussion. Why they constantly feel the need to hide behind hyperbole and hysteria.
You want a debate about immigration? Me too. Bring it on.

Sinkin I'm probly drinkin that syrup
Thinkin I won't slip, even though I'm leanin like a broke hip
from Lil Wayne (Ft. Kurupt) – Lock and Load Lyrics on Rap Genius
Lil Wayne is the most well-known user of the recreational narcotic drink known as lean or syrup.
Until sometime in mid-2010, Wayne was never seen without a white styrofoam cup of syrup in his hand.
He had become so tolerant of its effects, it kept him alert instead of impairing him with its typical slow, dizzying high. This is why he felt that he "won't slip," even though the amount he drank had him as unsteady and vulnerable as someone with a fractured pelvis.

As I grow
**[Inserting motherly advice here:] On a side-note, if you are prone to PMS "crankiness", I encourage you to begin taking note of when that happens, what events exacerbate your bad mood, what foods are you eating, etc. Keeping a journal with short notes can provide invaluable information. This is also extremely helpful for teenage girls! I have talked with my girls and explained the hormone-mood connection. I
Back to me.
For the last few days I have really been struggling with everything from what I have not accomplished with homeschooling, to my importance within my family. Now the rational Michelle KNOWS that her children are well educated, morally solid, spiritually sound, and overall well adjusted. She also KNOWS her family loves and needs her. So what the heck has been my problem?! You guessed it...hormones. Not PMS necessarily, and no, not menopause thankyouverymuch! lol Nonetheless, I recognized this specific brand of crazy as my own, personal hormonal charade.
Admitting there is a problem may be half the battle, but for me, it's the easy half! How to get a grip is another issue altogether!! After three days of trying to simply cope and not completely alienate my husband, I did something crazy. I exercised! Whaaat?!
Not 30 minutes after a very gentle yoga session, I was a new woman. Seriously, the change was monumental. I didn't even think about the potential emotional benefits when I did it; I only knew my body needed it. Lesson learned! Just one more line item in my list of things I know about myself: When overly emotional, you need to get your bod moving, Sister!! I can assure you I will not allow the hormonal you-know-what-storm to continue for days again without a little endorphin indulgence.
Oh, and you know what else releases endorphins? Sex. Just a tip. ;-)

Report: Jay County mulling NCC invite
According to an online report, Jay County is still considering whether or not to accept an invitation to join the North Central Conference, which has Huntington North as a member.
According to www.theseniorreports.com, the Jay County school board is still researching the pros and cons of joining the NCC and will talk more in depth about the subject and possibly take some kind of action next month.
A Jay County board member told theseniorreports.com: "We are currently investigating our options and doing due diligence. I do anticipate taking some type of action to the Board in April. Our high school staff is in the middle of doing some research on this situation at this time, and I want a recommendation from them prior to moving forward on the issue. Our meeting is April 22."
The NCC issued a joint statement recently:
"The North Central Conference (NCC) is neither discouraged nor disappointed in Jay County High School's action to not take action on our invitation to become a member of the NCC. We understand that each school corporation has to feel comfortable when entering into an agreement to become a member of any athletic conference; they have a process they are following to ensure they make the right decision for all stakeholders at Jay County High School and the Portland community.
"We are very comfortable with our decision to expand and will therefore plan for a 12-member conference in school year 2014-15, this may or may not include Jay County High School. The NCC is excited about the direction of the conference and look forward to welcoming and working with Harrison, Lafayette Jefferson and McCutcheon high schools as we continue to explore all possibilities to strengthen the conference for the future."

Gwinnett Daily Post
The wacky world of science is just wearing me out. You go to bed believing one thing - something you've been taught all your life, understand - and you wake up the next morning and boom! Scientists have learned that what you had been taught as scientific fact wasn't a fact at all.
It's a little bit disheartening, y'all. I'm speaking now, of course, of Pluto. When I went to bed Thursday night I was content in the knowledge that Pluto was still the smallest planet in the solar system. I knew that because my fourth-grade teacher, Mrs. Betty Robertson, taught me so. That knowledge had been reinforced over the years because I had to help each of my children make models of the solar system, and Pluto was always one of the planets. It was always the smallest Styrofoam ball or tiniest bit of modeling clay. One of my kids had a teacher who liked food so much that she required an edible solar system, and Pluto was a tiny little grape. But no matter how small, it was always there - far away from the sun, of course - but one of the starting nine, nonetheless. Then I woke up Friday morning and learn that some highfalutin astronomers have voted that Pluto is not a planet and never has been. The vote took place in Czechoslovakia, of all places. And now, all of a sudden, there are only eight planets. If that don't beat all! It is sure to cause a lot of confusion for a lot of schoolchildren, because every science book around has Pluto listed as a planet. I know from experience that while teaching is hard work, un-teaching is even harder. And to a lot of folks, if something is in a book, it's the truth - no matter what they are saying in the Czech Republic. I can't help but wonder if Mickey Mouse will have to change his dog's name. This isn't the first time scientific "facts" have proven to be scientific fallacies, either. People used to be absolutely certain that the Earth was flat. Then there was that whole thing about Earth being the center of the universe. In fact, Galileo almost lost his head for suggesting Earth orbited the sun instead of the other way around. As recently as the 18th century, medical texts still expounded the theories of the Roman scientist Galen as scientific fact. Galen believed the body was governed by four "humors" that existed in four types of fluid. Without being too graphic, they were red, white, brown and yellow - you can figure out the rest. Scientists and doctors believed that if you got sick it was because these fluid levels were out of balance. Since they couldn't very well add anything they got you back in balance by letting some stuff out. I ain't making this up, y'all. They would purge you, expel you and, my personal favorite - bleed you - all in the name of medical science. That's right. I said they would bleed you, make a little incision in a vein and watch all that unhealthy blood run out. Or, better yet, place leeches all over you and let your blood be sucked out. Imagine the chagrin Galen would have felt if he had lived long enough to see his theory disproved. But for 1,500 years, scientists "knew" that illnesses were caused by fluid imbalances which could be cured by laxatives, pukes and a little blood-letting. Pluto had only been a planet for 76 years. See how much smarter we are getting? You can't help but wonder what other little factual tidbits in today's science books are not facts at all and will be disproved someday. Did somebody out there mention evolution? Not me. I'm not about to comment on something that controversial. It's just not my style. But since you brought it up - wouldn't it be funny if one day people decided that teaching evolution as scientific fact and not theory proved to be as ridiculous as considering Pluto a planet or curing pneumonia by bleeding a fellow to death? Now don't go and e-mail me about it! I'm not saying I don't believe all the scientific evidence that proves man evolved from an ape, and I'm not telling you what to believe. I will say this, however. I might have evolved from an ape. My wife may have evolved from an ape. Cynthia McKinney might have even evolved from an ape. But Kate Hudson and all three of my children had to have been created by an all-powerful God. And I really hope Mickey Mouse doesn't have to change his dog's name.
