let Me Be Your Future / 'blood reletives' 101 Reviews
Gerard's pov
She had finally opened up to me. For the first time, in what seemed like a lifetime, she had opened up to someone. Her emotional walls had been put up for so long I guess she just let them sit, making her cold to the world around her. We left and marched to the parking lot in silence. I hope she was ok. We both climbed into her car in silence and began our trek to her house. It was a 15-minuet drive to her house from this hellhole they like to think of as an education facility. 'That's it; I have to break the silence. Ima bout to die from it'
"Are…are you mad at me?"
"What? No! Of course not. Why would you think that?" she kept glancing between the road and me.
"You haven't said anything and it's been like 10 minutes" my voice growing smaller towards the end of my sentence.
"Oh" she sounded shocked. "I'm sorry. I was worried about you. I didn't want to let that teacher see your face and get you in trouble. The teachers here are just as bad as the kids are. You hand out with the Brittany's of the school you're prep and therefore can't do any wrong, in the teacher's eyes, but if you hang out with the 'troubled youth' you become one."
"Oh. I see. So you're not mad at me?"
"Pshh how could I be mad at you?" she grinned, taking her eyes off the road for an instant and locking gazes with me. Her steel blues locking with my hazel. It ended all too soon, when she returned her attention to the road. We were only 2 minutes away from here house now and I could finally relax knowing she wasn't mad. We drove in silence until reaching the medium sized house. She lived in a cookie cutter neighborhood. The houses just so and everyone equipped with a picket fence. It was enough to make me gag.
"I know. It's not exactly the ideal place to live but why do you think I want to be so different. Because I grew up with everything having to be 'normal'" she must have seen the expression on my face. 'God I'm like a frickin book'
"c'mon. I'll show ya around" taking my hand she lead me into the garage attached to the side of the house. We went up the stairs directly in front of us after taking our shoes off and were in a small hallway with a door in front of us and one to our left.
"This" she pointed to the door in front. "Is the basement aka my room. And this" she pointed to the door on the left. "Is my grandparent's room. And to your right is the kitchen slash dining area thing" she took me all through the house and showed me were everything is. All the rooms and who occupied them. Suddenly she turned around smiling but her face soon dropped.
"Am I boring you?"
"What? No! I was just too busy listing to your voice, watching you walk and thinking of this" I brushed my hand across her cheek, just barely touching it. I wrapped my hand around her neck and the other around her waist. Leaning slightly, our lips touched. She sighed and wrapped her arms around my neck. We were in the middle of the hall leading to the basement door. I pulled back, biting her lip just a little, and grinned.
"What…what did we come from again?" she asked with her eyes still closed.
"To trade books love"
"Oh yea that's right" she opened her eyes slowly, only to have me reach down again and kiss her soft lips.
"Mm Gerard are we gunna trade books?"
"Yea I guess" I sighed
"Well if you don't want to I'm quite comfortable carrying on but my mom will be home soon and if we are in the hall kissing she think the worst"
"Oh. Well then how bout your room?" I said trying to put no excitement in to the sentence. I don't want her to think I'm a pervert.
"Ha you'd like that wouldn't you?"
"Not really. Like you were told before, I'm not a pervert babe"
"Well that's good" she leaned up and kissed my nose lightly.
des pov
I walked him into my room and opened the medium sized coffin bookcase I keep inside my gigantic white bookcase that has doors enclosing the top shelves. I keep all my books in here so I unload my backpack into the coffin then sit next to Gerard who already took a seat on my bed.
"Where is your book?"
"Right here" he pulled a sketchpad out of his backpack which I hadn't notice earlier. He handed me the book and held up my book. There was a small lock on the back that had to be undone to read it. I pulled the key from the chain I kept around my neck and unlock it for him. Just like he had for me, he had unlocked my heart for me and now I'm going to unlock it for him to see. The sketchpad had little doodles covering the red cover that looked a few years old from being opened, closed, and shoved in his backpack so many times. I opened the front cover carefully and took my time to inspect each drawing, sketch, and doodle. They were beautiful. Skeleton grooms and pal vampire brides adorn the first few pages. Next came scenes of two people, a man, and a woman. The first was of them about to kiss, each a pale color and spattered with blood. The next one was a wedding held in a forest. The bride in a black and red dress at the altar and it must have been from the groom's point of view. The guests ranged from human to vampires to zombie-like figures. The next few pages were Dracula and assorted monsters. The next featured futuristic superheroes and villains. It took an hour to go through the book and take in every detail of the fantastic drawings. The book held in Gerard's hands was on the last page and within a few seconds, he turned it to reveal the back cover. He looked up with tear-filled eyes and closed the book, setting it aside. Pulling me close, he wrapped his arms around me and wouldn't let me go. He sat hugging me for maybe 10 minutes then let go suddenly.
"I'm so sorry you had to endure that…that pain"
"It wasn't your fault. And it's in the past; no more tears shall fall from these eyes for that boy"
Gerard's p.o.v
The things in that book were awful. The things she went through ripped through me like a freshly sharpened blade. I couldn't get the last page out of my head though. She had written a poem.
Carousels and fields adorn my thoughts
Fields were the deer trots
Laying next to you
How I wish it were true
Lies in your eyes
Lies on your tongue
It took so many tries
All while my heart sung
It sung for you
How I wish it were true
To be there with you
But this is something new
Darkness and death fill my head
Taking up what was once for you
After all, you said
How I wish it were true
You never loved me
And Now I see
After all we went through
How I wish it were true
That I didn't still love you
I knew it had been a while since her breakup but I could still see a hint of pain that wouldn't ever go away. I wanted to beat that kids face in. he had hurt someone so beautiful. How could he hurt her? 'Please god if this be my only request, let me take away the pain she feels. Let her no longer remember the hurt he caused. I would gladly take it for her' I stoked her hair lightly and held her closer to my chest.
"Des, let me take this book and make it just that, a book. Let it become the past and us the future" she turned her head upwards and pressed her lips to mine. My hands found the small of her back and pulled her closer. I leaned back and pulled her onto of me. Her weight felt comforting. Like she was the missing piece to the puzzle that was Gerard Way. She kissed me once more and looked me straight in the eyes.
"Until the end of everything, until we grow cold, until the heavens crash around us; be mine forever. Make us the future" I grinned and pulled her face to mine once more, our lips meeting.
yay happy endings!! XD
btw the poem used is my origanal work and is not taken from anywhere except my warped mind.
thanks for reading my first ever completed fanfiction ^_^

On November 20, I posted this prior to the first Redskins meeting:
Are the Redskins the Key to the Division
One key thought from this post was this here:
Conventional wisdom would seem to favor the Cowboys, Eagles and Giants all splitting their season series with each other; this would make all three of them 2-2 in the division when removing the Redskin games. I personally believe that these match ups are going to work a little differently this year in that the Eagles are going to sweep the Giants; the Giants will sweep Dallas, and the Cowboys will sweep the Eagles, but end result is the same; 2-2 for each of those 3 in the division minus the Redskins games.
The other key thought was this:
The tricky part then remains who is going to lose to the Redskins because mark my words someone will. No team has ever gone winless in NFC East match ups and it's not going to happen this year either. I think it's reasonable to assume that the team (or teams) that loses to the Redskins will miss out on the divisional crown this year.
Well the Giants and Eagles have already swept the 'skins which leaves us with Dallas, and you better believe that Redskin nation would love nothing more than to undo the Cowboys season; there is nobody they hate more. The Cowboys are the Redskins last hope of avoiding an 0-6 record in the division.
The question I have is; have the Redskins already packed it in for the year? Has the level of dysfunction in the front office become so bad that they no longer even try on the field? Up until last night they had at least been competitive in back to back to back losses to Dallas, Philly and New Orleans before beating the crap out of the Raiders. I even thought they had a solid chance at an upset last night; instead I awake this morning to discover they suffered a 45-12 beat down. Are the Giants just that good now?
The keys to this game are similar to the last time these two met. Dallas needs to score early and often, if they don't and they let the Redskins hang around, we could be in for another frustrating dog fight but this time Shaun Suisham is on the Cowboys sideline. Yikes. If the Cowboys get off to a quick 14-0 lead (like they did against New Orleans last Saturday) then the Redskins will pack their bags and sign off on this game and Dallas should win rather easily. However, if this turns into another 7-6 affair it could very well be the other sideline celebrating when the final gun sounds.
As a side note:
I've noticed that the Redskins have started wearing their dark jerseys at home this season. I must say this bums me out a bit. It just doesn't feel like a, Cowboys at Redskins game without seeing Dallas in the rarely seen blue jerseys. Here's to hoping the 'skins go old school this Sunday and wear the white jerseys.

Remember just a couple of days ago when we discussed that this NBA playoff commercial might be the best playoff commercial of 2013? We'd like to take our vote back. ESPN has raised the bar with this incredible piece of animation from London-based animator Richard Swarbrick which highlights some of the greatest moments in NBA Finals history.
Swarbrick uses his unique style to paint some of the most iconic moments in a way we've never seen before. Set to the tune of "Save Your Season" by Mint Julep, this ad perfectly captures the magic, intensity and emotion of the NBA Finals.

Most people have had a bad cold or laryngitis. Your voice usually clears up in a couple of weeks. But what if that raspy, gravely voice lingered - for three decades?
Thirty years ago, Betty Lou Truant lost her voice…and it never came back.
"It was about 1982 when I developed a bad cold, had a very bad case of laryngitis," said Betty Lou.
Betty Lou recovered from her illness, but her voice didn't. One of her vocal cords was paralyzed.
"Probably 25 to 35 percent of the people we see who have a paralyzed vocal cord have it due to a virus," Dr. Michael Benninger explained.
Dr. Benninger operated on Betty Lou at the Cleveland Clinic. He put an implant in her throat designed to push the paralyzed vocal cord back into place and allow the vocal cords to touch again and create sound.
Before the surgery, Betty Lou sounded breathy and raspy. Now, she has a voice.
Dr. Michael Benninger says, "I think the patients find it amazing because they go from this, to this, right on the operating table and it's like an eye opener for everybody in the room every time we do it."
A few months after the surgery, Betty Lou is making up for 30 years of lost time.
"I can't stop sometimes…I just talk and talk. I am just thrilled to death. I will be forever thankful," says Betty Lou.
She says she has 30 years of talking to make up for and is looking forward to catching up with her relatives.

How did all this start? Oh yeas Ken told muk about this ride in West Virginia Maryland http://www.winthefight.org/granfondo/diabolical_double.htm then mik told me about it and I signed in for it.. Yes I am not normal either right?
Next was a lot of talk of how to train in order to do something like that monster of a ride.. Train doing hill repeats.. (too boring) Go for long rides.. (but what about the elevation needed? On and off we talked about for a few weeks
The solution was to do a ride of similar conditions to know if we were ready for something this big... Had a ton of ideas and draw different possible rides but none of them convinced me.. Till I run into this route.. Hillier than Thou.. http://connect.garmin.com/course/3385664 So I modified the original ride a bit startin from my house.. (+28 miles) That looked scary hard in my book..
After making this ride on the computer I send the link to muk and he said he wanted to do it.. We looked at what was the best date possible for everyone and decided on May 11 TH.
Scary? Well only one way I had to know.. So I rode it last Sunday.. So to make sure the course was deal and to be familiar with the routes. (coutse was there)
So yesterday around 3 pm two INSANE guys left Pittsburh, PA to come and ride their bicycles and test their endurance in NJ..(New Jersey) What did they have in mind when they decide to jump in a car and come to my neck of the woods? I Will let them answer this..
Close to 11 PM my phone vibrates.. SMS (text message) from Ken that they were in my block a few houses off but in my block.. I run downstairs to meet my guesses.. Well Ken, muk I already had the pleasure..(great guy) After they put the bikes in my living room ( I have the best wife in the world, for me) we went to do some shopping for the ride day..Bananas, juices, bagels and who knows whate else..
That was it they had 6 + hours of driving and we had ahead a long day on the bike..so they went to the hotel and I went to bed..
Now here is a link to the ride we did: http://app.strava.com/activities/53688736#kudos Jus coz is worth mention.. weather really sucked today..
Here is 2 pics that I took while we stopped to have lunch..
Ken (left) and muk (right)
Here are the baies outside while we were eating and relaxing a bit.
via fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net
Left to right? Ken, Muk and mine..
There is more pictures but I will let Ken and Muk take care of those were the only 2 I had..
So tomorrow at some point they can post more pics and tell you more about our EPIC ride.
We are all insane right?

The death of a 12-year-old Missouri girl *may* be linked to a pain patch that belonged to her grandmother.
The grieving grandmother wants all parents and caregivers to be aware.
Betsy Webster reports.
Across in the front lawn of Destiny Spitler's home marks a significant and sudden loss.
"Always happy. Bubbly. She was very bubbly."
The twelve-year-old girl's grandma, who didn't want to appear on camera, described destiny as loving, giving, and caring.
"She loved to sing. she sang all the time. But apparently she was a very curious little girl that we didn't realize."
Destiny's grandma uses Fentanyl, a powerful pain patch, to manage her back pain.
When destiny died in her sleep Saturday morning, investigators found one on her thigh.
What prompted the 12-year-old to affix it is unclear, but her grandma says destiny pulled it from the trash.
"It was a patch that was from last Tuesday. and she put it on."
"You've gotta dispose of it properly."
Doctor Stephen Thornton says he's seen many cases where kids have o-d'd on a patch tossed in the trash, sometimes thinking it's a sticker.
"Once you use that patch and you take it off, it still has about 50 percent of the fentanyl that was started with."
That's why it's important to consider not just how you store this stuff, but also how you dispose of it.
It's something destiny's grandma didn't know, and something she wants others to hear.
"Mothers, fathers, aunts, parents... anybody that wears these dang patches, dispose of them, fold them up in tiny little pieces and flush them down the stool so your babies won't be like mine."

What is a bull barrel?
by Tom Gaylord, a.k.a. B.B. Pelletier
A couple weeks back, a reader asked what bull barrels are. I said I would answer him with a report, and today's the day.
Okay — it's history time. Remember when you were surprised to learn that the monkey wrench was actually invented by a man by the name of Charles Moncky? Turned out to be a huge 19th century urban legend, didn't it? Well, the bull barrel was perhaps first popularized by Freeman R. Bull, a machinist and employee of the Springfield Armory in the late 1800s. Mr. Bull was a noted sharpshooter who excelled at offhand shooting, which made him one of the rock stars of the day. Springfield Armory used him often to test various prototype rifles because they knew he would give them the best possible evaluation.
In 1887 the armory made a special long-range Trapdoor just for Mr. Bull. It had a heavy octagonal barrel that was stiffer than the normal, round long-range rifle barrel they had been making. Getting 80 grains of black powder into the short 45-70 case was a real trick that required careful handloading and eventually led to the case being lengthened, but only for long-range target use. This was never a production military cartridge. But Bull's rifle was a real shooter. He advocated using heavy barrels to cut down on muzzle movement when holding offhand.
Mr. Bull successfully shot his prototype rifle at great distance, but he was always standing in the long shadows cast by both the Remington Rolling Block and Sharps rifles that preceded the long-range Trapdoor by many years. During the last quarter of the 19th century, the government was engaged in a continual marketing campaign to prove that the 1873 Springfield single-shot had been a great choice for arming soldiers (despite the debacle at the Little Big Horn), not unlike what they've done with the M16. But, in the end, the bolt-action repeating Mauser in the hands of Spanish forces in Cuba put the nails in the coffin of the old Trapdoor. They soldiered on in the ranks of various National Guard units until the end of World War I, but their time as serious first-line military weapons was at an end by the middle 1890s.
So, was Freeman Bull the inventor of the bull barrel? Probably not. The barrel of his rifle was heavy, but it was octagonal, and bull barrels are uniformly round. The popular thinking is that bull barrels get their name from their oversized dimensions, as in "as stout as a bull." If you go on various AR chat forums and websites, you'll see discussions about what the differences are between bull barrels and heavy barrels, but that boils down to how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. Bull barrel and heavy barrel are 2 names for the same thing. What throws the AR shooters is that there is a specification for a heavy barrel for an AR-15/M16, and they mistakenly think it applies to all other firearms.
This barrel is sold as an AR-15 bull barrel. It has flutes, but they're not a requirement for a bull barrel. An AR heavy barrel would be much thinner than this.
There's no exact specification for a bull barrel. In fact, the modifiers "bull" and "heavy" can be used interchangeably. If there's a distinction when 2 barrels are being compared, the bull barrel would be even thicker than the heavy barrel, but that argument quickly becomes difficult to resolve.
Bull barrels in firearms
Being thick, a bull barrel can absorb a lot of heat energy during firing, and therefore it heats up slower than a thin or standard barrel. It also vibrates less because the sheer bulk of the barrel absorbs a lot of the smaller vibrations. The result of these two factors is improved accuracy, but only when the barrel is rifled carefully. When someone makes a bull barrel, they do take great care in rifling it, so it's almost a given that bull barrels will be accurate. Their extra bulk just adds to the potential.
The Butler Creek barrel on the left is sold as a Ruger 10-22 bull barrel. It's heavier than the standard 10-22 barrel on the right but could also be considered a heavy barrel.
I see some places on the internet where bull barrels are described as having flutes. Flutes are grooves on the outside of the barrel that lighten the weight without taking away any of the stiffness. But flutes are not a requirement of a bull barrel, as these websites imply. They're just one additional feature that the finer bull barrels can have.
What does a bull barrel do?
Bull barrels do several things that help accuracy. First, all the extra metal does make them stiffer and less prone to vibrate. Every bullet comes out the muzzle with the barrel in the same place, more or less. That's the artillery hold at work, so a bull barrel tends to give the same benefits and get similar accuracy improvement.
The second thing bull barrels do is maintain an even temperature during firing. Since metal expands when hot, maintaining an even temperature keeps the barrel from changing dimensions, which promotes consistency from shot to shot. Consistency means accuracy.
A third benefit of a bull barrel is associated with its weight. Being heavy, it tends to allow the rifle to recoil less, and that helps the shooter cope more effectively. This is especially important when talking about the larger calibers that kick a lot.
A final benefit is also associated with the bull barrel's weight. It pushes the balance point of the rifle toward the muzzle. Many offhand shooters find this helps them hold their rifles still.
What about airguns?
Airguns can have very heavy barrels that might be called bull barrels. The vibration damping benefit will be the same as for firearms, but heat dissipation is not needed because airguns don't heat up when fired. The recoil damping benefit is valid for spring guns, which is where the majority of airgun bull barrels are to be found. In fact, many target spring guns of the 1950s through the 1970s had optional heavy steel barrel jackets that could be slid over the regular barrel to give a bull barrel look and benefit.
Walther LGV Olympia target rifle has a heavy steel barrel jacket, held on by a special nut at the muzzle. This turns the LGV barrel into a bull barrel.
But plastic is no good! Some spring gun manufacturers are covering thin steel barrels with thick plastic sleeves and calling them bull barrels. They certainly look the part, but they lack the real benefits of genuine bull barrels. Oh, they probably do shoot better than they would if just the thin rifled steel tube were exposed because the plastic does attenuate the vibration patterns to some extent. But they're not true bull barrels.
Gamo's Bone Collector Bull Whisper IGT rifle barrel is a bull barrel in name, alone. Plastic around a thin steel tube does not meet the requirements of a true bull barrel.
Bull barrel facts
1. There is no specification for a bull barrel.
2. Bull barrels are synonymous with heavy barrels (except in specific cases).
3. A bull barrel made of plastic is mostly for show.
4. Bull barrels tend to be more accurate, as long as they are well-made.
5. Bull barrels add weight to the gun that may help stabilize it for offhand shooting.
6. Bull barrels add weight to the rifle and may dampen recoil.
So, look for bull barrels if you like, but know what they are and what benefits they bring to airguns.

My Savage 93 .17hmr has A bull barrel.
I really never knew how they got their name but I thought it was because of the size of the barrel.
When a bull barrel is offered in a fire arm I will get it with that option always. I like the idea of the heavier weight at the muzzle end. Among the other things BB mentioned.
I wonder if a person that was new to airguns and they seen a Marauder for the first time if they would associate the shrouded barrel to a bull barrel. Kind of like you explained about the Gamo guns but in a different aspect. No kind of way is the Marauder a bull barrel.
Didn't Dennis Q. make a air rifle that that was a combination pcp and pump assisted air gun in the past with a bull barrel. If I remember right it was in the .300 diameter cal. class. And I think he made a even bigger .400 and something cal. gun in that design.
BB you know Dennis and I'm sure the different guns he made. But am I remembering right about the above DQ guns?
The Fx Royale Independence is pcp w/ onboard pump but barrel is not Bull in any sense of the term.
Discovering and knowing the origins of words and names has long been a fascination of mine, so I read this report with great interest.
Also, I have several 10 meter springers, each of which, save an FWB 300s Jr., is outfitted with a bull barrel sleeve. As I tend to shoot seated with the rifle resting on my arm or bag and not off-hand, the weight helps some, but not as much as it might. I find that I shoot my 300sJr. just as well from a seated position as I do my FWB 150, which weighs 2 pounds more, most of it in the barrel sleeve.
Even though I do not hunt, I also own, only because I was able to purchase it new for a song when it was closed out, a Gamo SOCOM Hunter Extreme. Unlike many other Gamos, this one has a Bull barrel that is a thick, heavy metal sleeve over a steel barrel. I assume Gamo chose to do that to reduce the chances of the barrel bending as an owner went through the effort to cock the thing.
I have developed a technique for cocking that rifle which makes it quite easy, at least for me, because I weigh a lot and am able to leverage that into the process. I stand upright, place the butt of the rifle on the top of my shoe, lock the elbow of my left arm (as I'm a lefty), and with my right hand tightly grip the forestock near the linkage. I simply bend forward at the waist, holding the stock in place as my locked arm and heavy torso push the barrel down with my left hand at the muzzle until it catches. The thick barrel end and heft of the sleeve do help quite a bit in the process, or at least it feels to me that that is the case.
That air rifle is one of the most powerful springers ever produced, yet it fires more calmly than do other springers I've shot with much less power. For one, it's about 10 pounds, and two, that heavy barrel doesn't jump. It moves up maybe a quarter inch with each rested shot, but I doubt if it's more than that. With an extreme artillery hold and the forestock resting on the back of my knuckles resting on a bag, I get very tight groups at 25 yards.
My SOCOM Extreme is quite accurate, shooting Eun Jin 16.9 grain pellets to keep it from going supersonic. Every now and then I'll take it into the backyard to make a 2 litre bottle of pre-shaken soda pop (diet is the best as it's the fizziest) explode. It's fun to do little kid stuff like that every now and then!
Besides lightening the barrel, the flutes provide more surface for heat dissipation. In recent years I have seen barrels with the flutes spiraling around the barrel. Supposedly this aids in cooling as the air is drawn over the barrel from the venture effect when it is fired. It also is supposedly more rigid than the straight flutes. Probably the biggest benefit of the spiral flute is the "Cool" factor.
The Ruger 10/22 Target Model comes with this spiraled bull barrel. I own the stainless steel version.
Hats off to BB (The Grandmaster) for fantastic articles (Bull barrels, Swaged bullets, etc).
I bought the extra 24″ barrel for my Tall on SS and found it to be a thicker wall construction and heavier then the 12″ (both in .22 cal). Would this be considered a bull barrel?
Thanks Lou
I was going to ask if gamo's bull barrels are just cheap imitations but i see you answered this as a yes they are cheap imitation. When I came back to airgunning much more serious after my divorce I was impressed by Gamo's guns. Now that I have aged and learned more about what is out there I'm kind of seeing Gamo guns as not such a great gun. The ones I now own I rarely ever touch now. I keep them simply as collector pieces. The Viper express was after all the first air shotgun I had ever seen. The Gamo Whisper was also the first gun I had seen of it's kind. Now I keep it because anything with a shrouded barrel is so hard to get in Michigan.
Walther LGV Olympia target rifle has a heavy steel barrel jacket, held on by a special nut at the muzzle. This turns the LGV barrel into a bull barrel.
In a way, it does something else too, based on the look…
The sleeve is being held in compression while the barrel, proper, is under (stretch) tension. That may provide more of an effect than merely a thick walled barrel… Similar to the old Dan Wesson revolvers with interchangeable barrels and shrouds.
Until I got my Ruger Mk II back in the 80′s, I had never heard the term "Bull Barrel". The more common term (at least for small-bore target rifles) was "Heavy Barrel". Now I see "Bull Barrel" used quite a bit.
I am one of those who prefers the heavier barrels for stability reasons. In fact, I also added weights to my target rifles.
Years ago I belonged to a rifle club and the old guy who had a Winchester model 70 competition rifle called it a "bull gun" . It did have the large diameter barrel/bull barrel.
BB if I remember right it was in this book.
The practical guide to airgun hunting By Jim Chapman. I believe the second edition. It has been sometime since I read it. And I don't have it right now to look at.
Maybe it wasn't one of Dennis' guns. But I'm pretty sure it was. It was a longer gun like a Kentucky long gone. And it maybe even had a octagon barrel if I remember right.
Wish I had the book now. We moved to where we live at now and I never bothered unpacking everything. I will try to locate it though.
Man. Now I misspelled gun. (It was a longer gun like a Kentucky long*** gone***)
Should say Kentucky long gun.
Evening B.B.,
I thought a bull barrel was what the Rodeo Clown dove into. Actually, I've got to agree with Robert. In the early sixties a bull barrel was a large diameter minimally tapered barrel seen primarily on bench rest rifles and some varmint rifles.
Off topic: Does anyone know a decent pellet seating tool, or an easy way to make one? I have begun shooting my first break barrel (after being a PCP and Pneumatic guy for decades), and found that I really need to seat the pellets to improve shot to shot consistency. I purchased a pellet pen with the break barrel, but was cheap and got the one without a pellet seat tool on it, regret that now. I've been using a metal punch as it was about the right shape and works well, except for controlling how far to seat the pellets. Any tips on where to find or make one? Thanks.
You can get a collet from your local hobby shop. It has an Allen grub screw to fix it onto your punch.
John – Thanks. Just google'd to see what a collet is – looks perfect. Thanks!
Mr. Gaylord, in reference to your experiment with solid led bullets, have you seen the rather fascinating data on the "piledriver" pellets being made in the U.K. If they are accurate(?) i think they may well be the most promising advancement in solid led airgun bullets. I hope you and Edith are well. Thank you for your wonderful blog.
This is off topic. And I guess its ok to post this.
I was just checking to see if PA got any Condor SS' yet.
They now show a .25 cal. blue one in stock and a black .177 cal. also. I have been waiting and thought maybe other people would be interested also.
Another off topic: Do you recommend Ballistol to lubricate a Glock? Or grease? If so, what grease?
The weight makes a difference. My Savage M12 has a bull barrel in .223 Rem. There is very, very little movement when it fires.
Maybe I'm wrong but ain't that why Muzzle brakes came about. Not silencers but a weight added to the front of the barrel. The muzzle end if you will.
The extra weight helped to stabilize the gun.
Ain't that what the competition shooters do. Add weights.
I believe that is what helps the Marauder rifles. It is very easy to make the guns muzzle heavy when you hold them.
People talk about the factory stocks being wide and heavy. I think they tryed to incorporate every aspect that was possible for accuracy into the factory guns.
So Mr.Bull was a good shot in the day. But mostly he was smart. He learned what worked.
Maybe there is people that listen, learn and imply.
Target barrels generally seem like bull barrels. Are they higher quality? Does other materials like stainless steel etc…..help? I only know a few things about bull barrel, but I guess I never asked too many questions beyond the manufactures literature.
I always wondered about the plastic bull barrels on airguns.
I love all the recent topics. It had been bugging me for years when the first "bull barrel" Gamos came out, that they were standard barrels clad in plastic. They looked so cool – with 1500fps velocity too…
I thought my IZH 61 was a little barrel light, so I made a heavy barrel sleeve (steel) that looks like a suppressor. I find it even easier to keep steady, and compared to the model I have without – I find it more pleasant to shoot. My 10/22, Savage 93 & Mark II rimfires all have Bull barrels, and I think they all have better handling characteristics than my rifles with standard barrels (personal opinion – I don't carry them very far). I didn't think it necessarily applied to spring airguns, since having the propulsion "in" the gun added so much substantial weight. But the muzzles are pretty puny in comparison and depending on the velocity there is some muzzle jump.. I liked the sleeves on the LGV Olympias, and that feature on the R11/HW98 appealed to me as well. I really love the balance of that rifle. Maybe an aftermarket feature for other springers.
Is the bull barrel on the "Benjamin Trail NP Hardwood Break Barrel Air Rifle (.22) powered by Nitro Piston" the real thing? or is it a plastic imitation? Thanks

Phoenix, AZ (Sports Network) - The Arizona Diamondbacks designated outfielder Jason Kubel for assignment.
Kubel had been signed as a free agent by Arizona from Minnesota in December of 2011, but the 31-year-old has struggled to a .220 average, five homers, eight doubles and 32 RBI in 89 games this season.
Kubel was placed on the DL on April 13 with a strained left quadriceps, which he suffered on April 5 against the Brewers, and missed a little more than two weeks of action.
Arizona also selected the contract of pitcher David Holmberg from Double-A Mobile. The 22-year-old left-hander went 5-7 with a 2.66 earned run average in 25 starts for the Southern League club in 2013.
Holmberg will make his major league debut on Tuesday.

What I'm up to these days...
Currently, I am on an extended sabbatical doing research on Kant and Maria Montessori and taking care of my children. I look forward to getting back to teaching in Fall of 2014.
My current research includes an article on Kant and contemporary psychology, a series of papers on Adam Smith and Environmental Ethics, and a project investigating education and autonomy in Rousseau, Kant, and Montessori
"The greatest concern of the human being is to know how to properly fulfill his station in creation and to rightly understand what one must do in order to be a human being." (Immanuel Kant, from a set of handwritten notes written in 1764 in his personal copy of Observations on the Beautiful and Sublime, Ak. 20:41 )

A week or so ago, the guys at Hockey Abstract put together Player Usage Charts (.pdf) for the 2011/2012 Season, which maps for all 30 teams how each player was utilized and how well they performed in that role from a Corsi perspective.
More recently, the site released its Free Agent Finder spreadsheet (.xlsx) which, along with providing a smorgasbord of advanced stats in excel form for all pending UFAs, provided the template to recreate these Usage charts for any set of players. Like, the Maple Leafs rosters over the past 5 years for instance.
How to Read the Charts:
- X-axis: Offensive Zone Start Percentage. This is the percentage of faceoffs taken in the offensive zone relative to all Ozone and Dzone faceoffs the player was on the ice for at even strength. Essentially this should be interpreted as how coaches deployed the player relative to the rest of his team - High Ozone starts (more to the right) mean the player was given advantageous offense situations more often than not, and less Ozone starts (more to the left) mean the player was utilized more in defensive situations. Some studies on how meaningful this stat is can be found at NHLNumbers, Habs Eyes on the Prize, the Score, while a differing perspective can be found at Hockey Analysis.
- Y-axis: Quality of Competition. Measured by Corsi rel QoC, which is defined at Puck Prospectus as:
A measure of competition quality using relative Corsi as its basis. It is less luck-driven than QualComp and more universal than Corsi QoC because it's based on a relative metric. The most statistically sound quality of competition metric currently used.
- This should be interpreted on the chart as how difficult the competition faced was over the season, so a player facing very tough competition would be closer to the top and a player facing very easy competition would be closer to the bottom.
Bubble Size/Colour: The size and shading of the bubbles is measured by Corsi Rel, which is essentially how strong a players Corsi numbers are when on the ice compared to how the team's Corsi was when the player is off the ice. The blue shaded bubbles are positive Corsi Rel (bigger the better), the white bubbles are negative Corsi Rel (bigger is worse).
- Where a player is located on the chart can have their use determined by the following matrix (from the Player Usage pdf):
Without further adieu, here are the Maple Leafs rosters for the previous 4 years (min 30GP):
So, do these charts change your opinion on any players and how you thought of them while they were here? Any players better/worse than you expected from a Corsi perspective? I may have partially come around on Nikolai Kulemin's role on this team, and continue to be ecstatic that Mikhail Grabovski is still on the roster.

US President Barack Obama quickly cited the US oil and gas renaissance for helping the nation's economy recover in the last 5 years, and said in his fifth State of the Union address that natural gas will need to play an even bigger part in the future.
"One of the biggest factors in bringing more jobs back is our commitment to American energy," Obama said in his Jan. 28 address to Congress and the nation. "The all-of-the-above energy strategy I announced a few years ago is working, and today, America is closer to energy independence than we've been in decades."
Gas is one of the reasons why, he continued. "Businesses plan to invest almost $100 billion in new factories that use gas," the president said. "I'll cut red tape to help states get those factories built, and this Congress can help by putting people to work building fueling stations that shift more cars and trucks from foreign oil to American natural gas."
He said his administration would keep working with the industry to sustain production and job growth while strengthening protection of air, water, and communities. "And while we're at it, I'll use my authority to protect more of our pristine federal lands for future generations," Obama said.
US energy leadership extends to solar power, according to the president, where "every 4 min another American home or business goes solar, every panel pounded into place by a worker whose job can't be outsourced."
He said, "Let's continue that progress with a smarter tax policy that stops giving $4 billion/year to fossil fuel industries that don't need it, so that we can invest more in fuels of the future that do."
Mixed response
Oil and gas association leaders welcomed the president's endorsement of more US gas production and deployment, but criticized his suggestion that federal tax provisions producers consider essential be repealed to encourage more development of solar power and other alternatives.
"It is clear from tonight's speech that the president recognizes the role gas is playing in meeting our nation's economic and environmental needs," said Martin J. Durbin, president of America's Natural Gas Alliance. "As the president mentioned, there is great promise for gas in our transportation sector as trucks, trains, and cargo ships transition to this clean and abundant fuel. The 1.4 million well-paying jobs that gas development will support in 2015 can help narrow America's income inequality."
American Petroleum Institute Pres. Jack N. Gerard noted the oil and gas renaissance gives the US a unique opportunity to revitalize its economy and become a global energy superpower while helping Americans get back to work. "The president has the opportunity to seize this moment by approving the Keystone XL pipeline, opening up new areas for responsible energy development, and pulling back unnecessary and costly new regulations," he said.
"Unfortunately, the president called for increased taxes on the oil and gas industry he needs to close the income gap and create jobs," Gerard said, adding, "Punishing energy companies by raising taxes is not sound energy policy and could lead to less energy, less government revenue, and fewer jobs."
Obama continued to take credit for higher US oil and gas production when almost all of the increase took place on private and state—but not federal—lands, National Ocean Industries Association Pres. Randall B. Luthi observed.
Sees inconsistencies
"The president spoke again about the need for more jobs," Luthi said following Obama's address. "Yet his administration continues to block expanded domestic offshore energy production on the 85% of the US Outer Continental Shelf that remains off-limits for political reasons, even though developing those areas would usher in an economic renaissance, generating tens of thousands of new jobs and billions of dollars in new revenue to federal and state governments."
Luthi, who was US Minerals Management Service director during US President George W. Bush's second term, said he thought it also was inconsistent for Obama to promise he would help states cut red tape so more manufacturing plants can be built while committing himself to prevent more energy development on public lands.
Environmental organizations' responses to Obama's address also were mixed. His all-of-the-above energy policy is simply "drill, baby, drill" by another name, Earthworks Executive Director Jennifer Krill said prior to the address. "There is yet hope for President Obama's vision of a clean energy future, if he turns away from the oil and gas industry and towards truly renewable energy," she maintained.
But Jamie Williams, president of The Wilderness Society, said following the speech that he was excited to hear Obama commit himself to protect more American cultural and scenic treasures, and urged the president to be ready to use the Antiquities Act to set aside more public land as national monuments.
Obama said the US has reduced its carbon pollution in the last 8 years more than any other country, but needs to do more. "The debate is settled," he declared. "Climate change is a fact. And when our children's children look us in the eye and ask if we did all we could to leave them a safer, more stable world, with new sources of energy, I want us to be able to say yes, we did."

Anti-IgG, Light Chain Specific
When labeled secondary antibodies specific for both heavy and light chains of IgG, e.g. anti-IgG (H+L), are used to detect protein bands on Western blots following immunoprecipitation (IP), two heavy bands appear (Figure A) corresponding to the heavy (50 kDa) and light chains (25 kDa) of the precipitated primary antibody. These bands usually obscure detection of any protein of interest with a molecular weight near 50 kDa or 25 kDa. However, when labeled anti-IgG, Light Chain Specific antibodies are used for detection, they bind only to the light chain band on the blot (Figure B) and to light chains on the native primary antibodies used for detection. Therefore, a 50 kDa protein may be detected on blots without interference from the precipitated IgG in the same band by incubation with its unlabeled primary antibody followed by labeled anti-IgG, Light Chain Specific. Similarly, a 25 kDa protein may be detected after IP without interference by using its unlabeled primary antibody followed by labeled anti-IgG, Fc fragment specific.
Figures A+B. Heavy (50kDa) and light (25kDa) chains of reduced and SDS-denatured mouse IgG were separated by SDS-PAGE and detected on Western blots using HRP-goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) (A) and HRP-goat anti-mouse IgG, LC specific (B). Both heavy and light chain bands were detected with anti-IgG (H+L) (A). However, no heavy chain band was detected when anti-IgG, LC specific antibodies were used (B) even on lanes heavily overloaded with IgG.
Anti-IgG, Light Chain Specific antibodies also have been thoroughly adsorbed to minimize cross-reactivity with immunoglobulins from other species which may be present on blots.
Although the antibodies react strongly with native IgG light chains, some do not react as strongly with reduced and denatured light chains. Therefore, they are not recommended for sensitive detection and quantitation of reduced and denatured light chains on Western blots.
† Warning: BSA and dry milk may contain IgG which will react with this antibody. Use of BSA and/or dry milk to block or dilute this antibody may increase background and/or reduce secondary antibody titer.

KDE Sub-Project for Real Time Communication
Chat, instant messaging and video communication: the KDE Real Time Communication and Collaboration (RTCC) project wants to improve the integration of real time communication into the desktop environment.
Londoner and developer, George Goldberg, and his colleagues Abner Silva and Matt Rogers, have presented their plans in the KDE Wiki. They see the integration of real time communication as an important goal for KDE version 4. Stand-alone messaging clients, available to date, are poorly integrated into the desktop experience.
The RTCC project wants to use the free desktop framework Telepathy
Telepathy, that uses the D bus interface, to create a new infrastructure. Also, the developers plan to use existing code from apps like Kopete as much as possible.
First goal is to produce an instant messenger, similar to Kopete but with superior connectivity with other KDE components. Then voice and video. The sum goal of the vision is a variety of practical RTCC components that can be integrated into many different KDE applications.
The RTCC project are looking for volunteers, whereby knowledge of C++ is not entirely necessary. Contact can be made via the mailing list, or the channel #telepathy on the freenode IRC network.
Voice and videoKDE , Kopete and this new effort are all way too much lagging Empathy, pidgin .... in support of voice and video.
KDE announcements always show the bright future, but nothing in the present. some of us ordinary users are awaiting since... forever

Rankings are for the purpose of gauging, tracking and separating great teams from good teams and good teams from bad teams. It is a fluid process and not always as complete as we would like. The ultimate objective is to provide some perspective and create discussion.
Rankings are about the regular season. That is why this will be the final Boys Basketball Top 12 Rankings for the 2012-13 season.
If, by chance, we get to do this again next winter, I expect the rankings will expand, maybe 15, maybe 20, but "others" will drop off considerably.
Anyway, it's been a fun season. Your patronage is appreciated.

text: McCants did not play organized football until he was a senior in high school. He was a member of the marching band as a tuba player when a HS coach took a look and decided that he might have more potential as a football player than as a musician. McCants credits his great footwork to the time he spent in the marching band. When watching McCants play ; he looks more like a power forward than OT. His athleticism is excellent. When UAB played against Southern Miss; McCants demonstrated that athleticism when pulling and getting to the next level. There is no doubt about the rawness of technique; but there is also no denying the talent. He bends at the waist at times and can be caught upright; but his long arms and big hands allow him to shield the QB's blind side effectively. McCants has a lot of tools to work with. My guess is he will be selected in rounds 5-7. This Conference USA first teamer could be a great bargain selection.

Troy Stoudermire Named to Hornung Award Watch List
Minnesota Gopher cornerback and kick returner Troy Stoudermire is one of three Big Ten standouts to be named to the 2011 Paul Hornung Award watch list. The award, which was first given last season, honors the most versatile player in college football. Stoudermire is a dynamic kick returner as he's already the Gophers' all-time leader in kick return yardage, and should lead the Big Ten in that category by the end of 2011. Stoudermire averaged 27.2 yards per return last season. He was sixth on the team with 28 solo tackles despite playing just half the season at corner, and also recorded two tackles for loss, an interception, and two fumble recoveries. The other two candidates selected from the Big Ten were Michigan QB Denard Robinson and Michigan State wide receiver/kick returner KeShawn Martin.

Eau Claire (WQOW) -- For a third straight season, and eleventh time overall, the UW-Eau Claire softball program will appear in the NCAA Division III Tournament.
The Blugolds got beat Sunday in the championship game of the WIAC Tournament, but Monday morning, UWEC found out it received an at-large bid to the NCAA's UW-Eau Claire won a national title in 2008 after getting an at-large bid, so head coach Leslie Huntington says how the Blugolds get in, really doesn't matter.
"We get another chance here," Huntington says, "I'm really happy for our players and really happy for our seniors because the dream is still alive to play at Gelein Field finally this year. We're just going to go down there and we're going to play Blugold ball and we're going to see if we can win enough games to come back and play at home at Carson Park next week."
UW-Eau Claire is one of eight teams taking part in the NCAA Division III Whitewater Regional. The Blugolds will face North Central (IL), Thursday, at 2:00 P.M. If UWEC wins, the Blugolds will play either Benedictine (IL) or Illinois Wesleyan, Friday, at 4:00 P.M.

Washington Examiner column focuses on the impact of the president's hubris
Noemie Emery of the Washington Examiner probes President Obama's annoying habit of minimizing his own role in the problems that plague his administration.
Strangely enough, most liberal takes on the State of Obama, which is said to be perilous, come couched in the most passive tense.
The hostile Republican House just happens to be there. The Tea Party also just happens to be there, a spontaneous thing that sprang up for no reason. The same thing goes for the toxic divide now gripping the country, which Gallup calls one of the deepest rifts ever, worse than the days of Bubba and Dubya (brothers under the skin, as they will now tell you), from which President Obama had promised relief.
As with the opposition, the polarization and the toxic hostility are also presented as things that are happening to and around him, forces of nature just like the weather, over which he has no real control. Time after time, these irrational forces (that never existed before he aroused them) frustrate his plans to be the calm, moderate centrist his admirers think him. But did they just arise, or did he create them? Let us look backward and see.
Obama took office in 2009 with one of the best hands ever dealt to an incoming president: abundant good will, astounding poll numbers, the chance to build a stable center-left coalition that could last for a number of years. He could have moved to unite his liberal base with the John McCain voters who drifted his way when the crash happened, but he opened a spigot of deficit spending that set his more centrist backers on edge. …
… The first law of physics is that every act taken produces an equal swing in the other direction, which our current conditions tend to bear out. If conservatives are sometimes extreme (and they are), they are no more so than has been Obama, who bent laws and then broke them, and respected no limits in the avid pursuit of his goals.
When he tortured the rules to pass health care, he destabilized politics and created the poisoned political climate and toxic divisions of which he and his allies complain. As Charles Krauthammer says, the Tea Party was created by Obama and health care, and the fierce fight against it echoes the manner in which it was passed. The "current unrest," as he says, is "the residue of that hubris." He's right.

There is nothing much to talk about other than FA, CBA, and the draft. I was wondering what people thought about this guy. He played DE and would be a OLB in our system. We currently do not have much depth at the OLB position and it would be nice to at least have an athlete that can rush the QB. Here are some notes on Willie Young:
Height: 6'5
Weight: 251 lbs
40 time : 4.82 s
Bench: 25 Vertical: 38 inches
Willie Young was the leader of a banged-up defense for the NC State Wolfpack in 2009. Willie shown as one of the bright spots in the defense and has at times taken over games. He had about 8 sacks increasing his sack totals each of the previous two years. He also had 54 tackles, 14 for losses, 1 interception, 3 passes defensed. Willie Young is fairly durable and hasn't missed many games if any at all due to injuries - I haven't found anywhere where he missed a game and don't recall him having an injury. The only knock on Young is that he disappeared in the middle of the season only recording 1 sack in the last 7 games of 2009. This may have been due to the amount of injuries on the Wolfpack's defense and a the lack of other pass rushing options allowed teams to double team Young who was the only threat on defense.
Right now Young is projected to go in the 4th round and may slip to the 5th round. I think he would be an excellent pick up in the 5th round and can learn behind our current OLB.

Blue Book® Suggested Retail Value
Fuel Economy (city/hwy)
2001 Nissan Pathfinder
This 2001 review is representative of model years 2000 to 2004.
By Dan Jedlicka of MSN Autos
Bottom Line:
A powerful new V6 finally eliminates the Pathfinder's major drawback.
The refined Nissan Pathfinder has had a lot going for it since its redesign in 1996, but a weak engine has kept it from being fully competitive.
No longer. The 2001 model gets a smooth 3.5-liter V6 that generates 250 horsepower with a 5-speed manual transmission and 240 horsepower—but more torque—with a 4-speed automatic. Variable valve timing helps provide good response at all speeds.
The new engine is related to the nifty V6 in Nissan's flagship Maxima sedan. But it is said to have more than 100 refinements to provide better operation. It's a sign of the times when an automaker gives a truck an improved version of its top car engine.
The dual-overhead-camshaft, 24-valve V6 replaces a heavier, single-overhead-camshaft 3.3-liter V6 that generated 170 horsepower and considerably less torque. It gave the fairly heavy Pathfinder mediocre acceleration.
For instance, the old Pathfinder struggled to reach 60 mph from a standing start in about 11.0 seconds, and merging into fast traffic and passing on highways could be stressful. While it's no hot-rod sport ute like the Mercedes-Benz ML55, the Pathfinder can do 0-60 in about 9.0 seconds. No longer must the automatic transmission continually downshift and upshift to wring the best performance from an underpowered motor.
Unchanged Fuel Economy
Base prices range from $27,349 to $31,299. The Pathfinder comes in entry XE, sporty SE and top-line LE trim. The SE is the only model offered with the manual transmission.
Good Highway Performance
Steering is quick but rather spongy—especially with 4-wheel drive. Also, the turning radius is fairly large for a midsize sport utility.
Crisp Handling
The Pathfinder has rear-drive or a part-time 4-wheel-drive system not meant for dry pavement. The system is engaged with an old-style, console-mounted lever instead of a pushbutton, but Nissan said such a button would be offered in the not-distant future.
While most sport-ute owners never do serious off-road driving, the Pathfinder's low-range gearing, rugged unibody construction and high ground clearance allow rough off-road use.
Styling is unchanged because it was revised in the middle of the 1999 model year. The Pathfinder has some flair, with such things as nicely integrated rear door handles. But, like most other rivals, it has a box-like shape to provide good interior room.
Roomy Interior
A fairly low floor makes it pretty easy to get in and out of the front area, but narrow rear doorways impede entry and exit. Also, all inside door handles are too small. A driver sits high in a supportive seat and can easily reach the smooth controls and front cupholders. Rear cupholders are sturdier than many.
Awkward Rear-Seat Design
The new Pathfinder has beefed-up components to handle the extra power and torque, besides a restyled instrument panel and console.
There are also side airbags up front in a $1,799-$1,999 leather package for SE and LE models. That package also contains leather upholstery and power, heated front driver and passenger seats, with a new memory feature for the driver's seat.
More Standard Items
But all models are nicely equipped. Even the XE has air conditioning, cruise control, anti-lock brakes, AM/FM/cassette with a single-disc CD player, and power windows and door locks.
Racy Windows
The SE adds equipment such as a new, standard rear spoiler, lower-profile tires and bigger offset alloy wheels. Opt for the LE and you get items such as wood-tone trim.
No matter what model, the Pathfinder's stronger engine makes it a lot more desirable.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Representatives of the Attorney General's Office have filed felony charges against a Louisville man after authorities allegedly found child pornography on his laptop computer.
The incident took place on Tuesday, just before 1 p.m. According to an arrest report, investigators were examining the laptop belonging to 27-year-old Christopher Lawrence Lloyd, while at his apartment on Emrich Avenue, near the intersection of S. Hurstbourne Pkwy. and Bardstown Rd.
During the examination, investigators allegedly found four videos that showed children being used as sexual objects.
Lloyd was arrested and charged with four counts of possession of matter portraying the sexual performance of a minor, according to court documents.

I am from south-central Pennsylvania, where hockey is at best an occasional bit of excitement for some (but never many). There are relatively few die hard hockey fans here, aside from some Penguins and Flyers people and Hershey Bears season ticket holders. Myself, I've only ever been to two Bears games and, despite my usual hatred for bandwagon mentalities, I have sometimes followed the Penguins during playoff runs in the last few years. But like most people in my area, hockey only comes onto my radar once in a while.
With that being said, when I do follow hockey, I get pretty engrossed in it. And I'm familiar with many of the current players and much of the league's history.
My chief historical questions is related to the Maple Leafs. Your franchise obviously has had a storied founding, fine tradition, leaders like Smythe, and a heck of a lot of players inducted into the Hall of Fame. You also have none of the disadvantages of a team like Florida, located in hockey nowhere. Rather hockey is king in your neck of the woods.
So, to cut to the chase, my question is this: Why have the Maple Leafs been so mediocre to terrible for so long? Is it all just Harold Ballard's (I am only vaguely familiar with this man, but he sounds pretty awful) fault?
PPP seems like a reasonable and well-kept blog considering, well, how bad the Leafs have been. But I'm new here, so if I'm at all out of line, please let me know.

ALEXANDRIA – The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is offering technical and financial assistance to agricultural producers in portions of 22 parishes to develop and enhance habitat for migrating birds. This opportunity is being offered through NRCS' Migratory Bird Habitat Initiative (MBHI).
Through MBHI, NRCS will work with agricultural producers to create or enhance shallow water, mud flat, and moist soil habitats to benefit a variety of migratory birds. MBHI projects provide: 1) food and critical habitat for bird populations; 2) much-needed water during drought; 3) support for local economies by attracting hunters and bird watchers; and 4) new opportunities to improve wildlife management.
