Some food for thought : A Year in Review 2013
Why Hell-the fuck – O? Please enjoy the music with the read, I was told that music sets the tone for certain stuff.
its been a long time coming but we're back. Judging by the post count of Blog Entries this year, it may seem like we weren't as busy as we're supposed to. The reason for the inactivity, blame a new program called Instagram@standardfunctions, go ahead, you may have heard about it haha
In all seriousness, as much as I would love to write on here, there's just way to much going on. Traditionally, when I'd write a post, I'd spend hours on end filling as much content as I can to really fill you in on a "day in the life" kinda post. No half steppin on our shit, if you haven't caught on already… With that said, lets jump fourth with what has to be one of the harder more thought out things to include in this wrap up for the 2013 calendar.
Whats new. Whats old. Whats worth a post.
For starters, A new and more focused entry this year would be the highly anticipated Grom125 brought to you by Honda.
For years now, Our main Focus was that of the Ruckus before Yamaha came in with the Z125. There was a void somewhere, something that needed a change because I'm sure everyone, us included, The Ruckus hit a peak. This "peaking point" stayed where it was and I personally felt like it slowly started to come down if not maintain this stream of… ah fuck, who am I kidding. Its been boring. Really F'n boring.
When the official notice was released, you already know we were on our way to Honda to leave a deposit for a unit or two. Fast forward to August, we were able to get one for ourselves and boy did we enjoy it.
We may be a little over our heads with this, but I have to say… Honda Nailed it with this one. The question EVERYONE and their moms ask, "Will it replace the Ruckus?" I sure hope not, but I can hope that it builds up as much of a Scene as the Ruckus did. I mean Why not? It is the breath of fresh air everyone has been asking for.
The tuning Scene for this little thing is still new, and I'm loving what everyone's doing with them so far. Another reason why I'm happy that 2013 is over, because I can't wait to see what 2014 has to offer. I think a lot of the "know it all" guys now a day can bore them selves so quickly over something that they can build over night. Coming from the Golden days, when you had to wait months on end for cool replacement / upgrade parts, this Grom125 really brings me back. The happier and more fun days of tuning, Not to mention a New style of riding. Alot of these guys have never even rode a "Moto" before jumping onto a "scooter". Its natural to want to learn more and I think that the Grom is here to change that in the mini moto scene. The YSR came close, but really, how many years has that been. The Growth in Socal wasn't what I thought it would be since release, but with time, I hope to ride with even more shifters and with KillerScooters 2014 Super Sunday right around the corner, I have a feeling my prayers will soon be answered.
2013 also brings for me, an end of a Love/Hate relationship. Maggie May, I surely will miss you.
Through her MANY changes since conception in 2009, I felt the need to give her one last upgrade before the inevitable. From the Signature Kameleon Purple and multiple engine transplants, to her final Teal effect and 66cc heartbeat of a Factory GET for Super Sunday 2013. She's been a hell of a learning experience.
A few months back, some of the guys offered me some deals I just HAD to refuse but with times changing for me personally, she just had to go. Offers started pouring in after I took it off the sale thread and she was parted out 20 different states to be exact. With time, I'm sure I will add another Ruckus to my Stable, but for now, I'm just enjoying the Grom more than I should be haha
2013, was also a year of Collaboration that I did not see coming. I get an email from Garrett of CycleWorld, a meeting and a few phone calls later, A film Crew was on its way to StandardFunctions as well as a certain Individual this collaboration build will be with, and that is of Mr. Jeff Staple, who trusted us to add a bit of our funk for his daily cruiser around the jungle that is New York City.
Another Project that we dabbled into, the Introduction of our Brass Monkee line. A limited 300pc numeric collection set for all the Alternative smokers out there. It completely blows my mind when I say, it sold out a few weeks before the final production even came out.
Thanks to our friends and team at V-APES, TrendyVape, and Vape Blvd, we were able to introduce to the Vaping world our small collection of these Mechanical Mods and RDA Atomizer kits. Everything from looks, weight, production, packaging, and COST came to mind when we set fourth to make these things. Another reason why I'm waiting for 2013 to end so we can get started on the next one.
Another notable 2013 event, some of the company trips and people we met along the way. Definitely stories that will go down in history for us.
Getting to hang out with Sekizawa-San of TokyoParts and Yu Yamamoto at HawaiiCon2013 was good for the soul as well as finally getting to meet Yutaka of Rat Koubou and the MotoChamp fellas, Nari and Tomo.
Its never a bad thing getting to share a rental property with these clowns either! Although the restroom portion and timing was kinda "shitty" right Jay? Haha
Saying bye to some of my friends that I rarely get to see kinda sucked like usual, but it just gives us a reason to work harder to come back for the next trip.
Speaking of Trips, We also had to privileged of making it up for the annual BLOX event in Northern California to spend time with some of our best friends in the Ruckus world and out. The brotherhood we've made through out the years doing this was something NO ONE expected. Our passion for this has really led up to some stories better off shared over a shot of Cognac… or five… or ten. Good times in San Jose, CA. If you only knew. #KIWI2racing
KillerScooter SS2013 was amazing.
Honda USA hosted the first ever GROMPRIX, a definite highlight for us this year
A short trip to Chicago with LOS garage was fun
Utah was cool…
My personal car got a nice feature for USDM magazine in Japan with my friend Yogi
The more important of the features this year is getting into a USA publication by the name of "SuperStreet Magazine" is pretty cool too. Talking to the guys during the whole process, I was damn happy it was them to gave us the time to represent for the Ruckus during a time of change. JDM Wong and Crew, Thank you guys.
(Photos are courtesy of SuperStreet. Full feature can be found : HERE )
I'm sure there's more, but we'll leave it simple and sweet.
My friends and fellow colleagues, we've all seen the up's and down's but through it all, we're still here doing what we love.
What more can we ask for because without you guys, there wouldn't be a StandardFunctions, Makoa, Composimo, Mnnthbx, Rucksters, Bowls Los Angeles, ChapsGarage, the list goes on.
When we Started off, No one wanted to be caught on a Ruckus… hell any Small displacement moto at that. Our goal as a Collective was to change people's perspectives.
Have we succeeded? Maybe. Is our Job finished? Far from it.
It brings us great joy to say that 2013 will go out with a Bang. With 2014 quickly Approaching, I wonder what WE as individuals will bring to the table to keep this "scene" going. We've seen the guys who come and go. It's the one's that's still here that play a role and influence and inspire to keep the ball rolling.
To the ones who've read up to this point, this beer in Hand is a SALUD to you. Why? Because you've cared enough to read up till this point like you usually do. The true fans and friends that we at StandardFunctions value. The one's who pay attention to what we post or say. The one's who refuse to simply Scroll through pictures because they want to stay updated. The one's we work so hard for.
Thank you for supporting as always, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Its 2014, What will you do?
Full steam ahead
-Ming of StandardFunctions

New Mini Palletiser for low cost palletising
This is a great new product for businesses that currently manually palletise but that need to increase their productivity, or where OHS issues such as strain injuries are a major concern.
As a low cost solution compared to other palletisers, you can expect a short ROI period. The new MLP Series of mini palletisers are suitable for palletising at up to 5-7 cycles per minute. Depending on box size and weight, this can result in palletising up to 21 boxes per minute and a load capacity of 20kg or more.
The MLP palletisers are easy to use, with touch screen controls and pre-loaded pallet patterns and box recipes resulting in faster commissioning and minimal training, resulting in a rapid implementation.

Adapted from a piece originally published in Weaving the Fabric of Diversity (Boston: UUA, 1996).
If I am a White person in America:
I can turn on my television or watch a movie and see many images of people of my race in a wide variety of roles, including many positive and heroic ones.
I can apply for a car loan and know that I will not be turned down because of my race.
I can apply for a small business loan and know that I will not be turned down because of my race.
I can search for an apartment to rent and know that no properties will be withheld from my consideration because of my race.
I am surrounded by images that suggest that God and other Biblical figures are White like me.
I will learn in school that the history of our country is largely the history of my people written from the perspective of people of my race.
I can walk into virtually any pharmacy or similar retail store and find cosmetics and hair care products appropriate for my skin and hair.
I am unlikely ever to be asked to speak for my race.
It is unlikely that I will ever be in a situation where I am the only person of my race.
I can browse in a store without being followed or arousing suspicion because of my race.
I will never be stopped, frisked, arrested, or abused by police solely because a person of my race is a suspect in a crime in the area.
I can be hired for a job and not have co-workers assume I was hired because of racial preference or affirmative action.

"There's a long drive ... it's gonna be, I believe ... The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant! Bobby Thomson hits into the lower deck of the left-field stands! The Giants win the pennant and they're goin' crazy, they're goin' crazy! Heeey-Oh!''
This was the call of longtime Giants announcer Russ Hodges on Oct. 3, 1951, as the Giants beat the odds in defeating the Brooklyn Dodgers in the deciding game of a three-game playoff to decide the National League Pennant. The Giants went on to lose that series in six games to the powerful Yankees. They won another pennant in 1954, and that time went on to sweep the favored Indians, who had just completed an astounding 111-win season. The series was immortalized by "the catch" by Willie Mays as he sprinted toward the center field wall of the Polo Grounds. The game's greatest call and greatest catch were turned in by the same team in a scant four-year period.
This year's Giants team is one that should be enjoyed by true baseball fans. They have outstanding pitching, but their line-up is make-shift at best. As a Nationals fan, going through position by position, I would trade only the catchers. I believe the Nats are superior at each and every other position, but somehow this team has reached the pinnacle, while Washington has again languished in fifth place.
We don't get to watch the Giants much, and I must admit I was rooting for both the Braves and Phillies in their series. It was hard not to like them, though. From their team spirit to their goofy shoe-polished beards, they have snuck into my heart as they now prepare to challenge another team that will be heavily favored. The Texas Rangers will be a formidable foe, with Cliff Lee and a line-up that really pounds the ball. It's also neat that they celebrated with ginger ale in deference to their star slugger Josh Hamilton, who a decade ago almost lost his career to drug and alcohol addiction. It should be a fine series for everyone except the television ad executives.
But for us, this should be the beginning of a real connection between our Flying Squirrels and the parent club in San Francisco. The Giants have a nice young pitching staff, but opportunities abound for talented position players to move up the ladder. Darren Ford was the first Richmond player to get the call, as he spent the month of September with the big club. Ford is one of the fastest men in baseball, and he became a valuable pinch-runner for the Giants as they finally tracked down the San Diego Padres on the last day of the regular season. Thomas Neal and Brandon Belt should soon follow. A fine young crop of talent is headed this way, including Jose Flores and Francisco Peguero, who both hit over .330 in single-A this past season. They should be joined by pitching prospect Justin Fitzgerald, a 6-foot-5-inch fireballer.
Many thought Flying Squirrels to be a really ridiculous name for a San Francisco farm club. The F-S and S-F sequence in the names may or may not be a coincidence. Either way, I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot more orange and black around our community in the coming years.
Atlanta who? Go Giants! Go Flying Squirrels!

Today's post is from NYT Bestselling author, Kami Garcia. Kami grew up around Washington, DC and was a teacher there until she moved to Los Angeles ten years ago. She now writes along with Margie Stohl who have just finished final revisions of Book 3 in the Caster Chronicles series. This is Kami standing up for banned books:
A few weeks ago, New York Times Bestselling author Ellen Hopkins was uninvited to the Humble Teen Lit Fest because a librarian and few "concerned" parents complained about the content of Hopkins' books. They were worried that her books might have a negative impact on students & their children. If you are unfamiliar with the incident, read more on Hopkins' blog HERE. Several authors, including Melissa de la Cruz and Pete Hautman, who both pulled out of the festival, also posted about the incident so I'm not going to write about it here.
I'm going to write about what I think it MEANS — as a writer, teacher, and parent. And like any good teacher, I have some questions.
{It isn't a gun or a knife, or a weapon of any kind. It's an idea. When an idea takes root, it can bring about anything from war and genocide to crime and school violence.} That's the rhetoric that has led to everything from book banning to the mandatory rating system for music in the 1980's (thanks to the PMRC — Parents Music Resource Center). The message is clear: Some ideas are dangerous & young people should not be exposed to them.
It's a clever concept, and easy to buy into if you don't read between the lines. Because some ideas are dangerous, potentially any idea can be. What's more dangerous is the systematic exclusion of ideas, otherwise known as CENSORSHIP.
Is it easier to convince some to use drugs if they have no idea what the dangers are, or if they've been exposed to the reality of drug abuse — from let's say — a BOOK?
Is a teen more likely to commit an act of violence at school because she read a book about a kid who committed one? Maybe. People are fragile, especially if they suffer from depression. But what about all the teens who feel angry and isolated and read that same book, and decide they don't want to end up like the protagonist? What if the book motivate them to reach out or get help?
Oh, wait. That doesn't count. Only the situations in which media provokes violence counts. Get out the matches.
The government? Sure — screw the Constitution. It's old.
Schools? That's a better choice — because we all know that every teacher, librarian, and principal is intelligent and infallible. And beyond influence.
What about parents? If you are deciding for YOUR child.
Because guess what? I don't want you deciding for mine. It's my choice if I want my child to be exposed to violent, emotional, or frightening realities — and when. I get to decide if I want my kids to be exposed to different ideas and viewpoints, so they will be able to recognize propaganda when they see it. The kind of propaganda that keeps censorship alive and well today.
And that's my choice. You can choose to buy a book and burn it in your yard if you hate it. You can pull your kids out of school & home school them if your school system is teaching ideas or using books which you don't approve of. You can strip your shelves of every book you own. At YOUR house, with YOUR kids. Not with mine.
Because I can read between the lines. I know what this is really about. Do you?
I think everyone should go to their local library and check out Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. See what a world without books could be like. That's what I'm going to do. If it hasn't been banned.

"I was bored with fixing meals and looking for something different. So I tried this, thinking a one dish meal. Well Sorry but my family said don't fix it again. They didn't like the mix of flavors at all. I think the broccoli was the killer. We all love broccoli but it was really different when cooked with all the rest. Strong, overpowering"
"Used these ingredients but browned chicken and cooked it all slow on top of stove. I also used bone in large chicken breast because no one in my house likes dark meat. It turned out very good and we all loved it. Served some mexican rice under for the sauce to soak in. Fresh salad and I said this is a complete mean."
"I love 5 spice seasoning so when I saw this recipe I had to try. I used chicken breast because my family doesn't like the dark meat and it was just delish. Served with rice and vege and there was nothing left but empty dishes to wash. Thanks for a great addition to my chicken recipe collection."
"Wonderful recipe for that last grapefruit that no one wants. Now I buy extra just to make this. Very good and easy. I prefer marmalade to jelly so I am going to make this often. I think I will try this recipe with oranges just use 2 or 3 instead of grapefruit."
"Don't know if I did something wrong but this turned out more like a stew. Thick but soupy. I actually served it in a bowl. I did use corn tortillas but I also made in the morning and let set till evening for baking. Flavor was good so I would try again and this time use the flour tortillas and see if that was my mistake."
"A For Sure Comfort Food. I made this for hubby and myself, served with mashed potatoes, butternut squash with apples, cranraisin. Oh so Good. It taste like you have been cooking for hours and it really didn't take that long at all. Will be making it again. I did cut recipe down because only 2 of us, but the flavor of this is so comforting and..."
"This turned out really good. I had some meatballs I had purchased and in a hurry to make dinner. Had everything else on hand. I did add some veges, carrots, celery, zuccini because I needed to use them up. I served a nice crusty bread with it so we could sop up the broth. It is one that I will fix again."

In a special called meeting Monday night, school board members voted 4-3 against a motion to pass the budget after a lengthy discussion over how they were said to match up with Tennessee's suggested spending formula for public schools.
During a May 13 meeting, board members passed a resolution that asked business office manager Rick Smith to create a side-by-side comparison of the proposed budget and the Basic Education Program formula.
The May meeting was the first since Smith and Director of Schools Johnny McDaniel presented the board with its first look at the proposals on April 29. Smith said then the $69,310,500 general purpose school fund budget represented one of the most "challenging" budgets he has ever done.
However, board member Chris Turner took issue with the budget because he said at the time he believed the school system had not come up with a budget matching the state funding formula.
Citing this year's "Tennessee Basic Education Blue Book," a state-issued booklet which explains the formula, he gave various examples of how the formula did not provide an exact match for the school system's budget.
Turner said he was concerned money was being taken away from certain funding categories like one for personnel and put toward items like capital projects. He wants the school system to "be more transparent about where priorities lie" by comparing the budget and the state BEP formula.
Smith at the time declared doing so to be "a huge, labor-intensive task," and some board members defended the budget.
Board member Rodney Dillard pointed out the budget differing from the BEP was nothing new and cited the example of the system employing more school nurses than allowed for in the BEP formula.
That statement led to a substitute motion to delay a final vote on the budget and take a closer look at how it compares to the state formula. The motion passed 4-2.
Board Chair Vicki Beaty, Nicholas Lillios, Charlie Rose and Turner voted in favor, and Rodney Dillard and Troy Weathers voted against. Board member Christy Critchfield was absent.
On Monday, board members remained divided on the issue of whether or not the budget should be closely aligned with the state's funding formula.
Using words like "outdated" and "antiquated," Smith described the BEP formula to those in attendance. He said the formula does not account for all the school system's needs.
Smith then described the process he went through to "crosswalk" the budget and the BEP.
At one point, he emailed Maryanne Durski, the executive director of the Tennessee Department of Education's Office of Local Finance, for guidance. He shared her response at the meeting.
"This is a tough one," Durski wrote. "You are absolutely right that there is not an apples-to-apples comparison to the BEP funding sheet and your budget."
She then listed some suggestions for ways Smith could meet the board's request. Those suggestions included making lists of items and positions that were part of the local school system budget — but not the BEP — and listing all revenue sources.
"They need to remember that the BEP is a funding formula, not a spending plan, and that each board has the flexibility to budget as it chooses in the best interest of each individual school district," Durski wrote.
Smith said the state official agreed with his perception the budget could not necessarily be matched up with the BEP formula. He then presented what he had been able to compile.
Comparing the school system's general purpose budget for the 2014-15 year with the BEP for the same year, he handed out a 22-page document that listed line items from the budget and the formula side-by-side.
While the dollar amounts for the school system's budget were listed throughout the document, the adjoining columns for BEP funding sometimes had zeroes and question marks listed where dollar amounts could have gone.
Smith pointed out that some of what the school system had in its budget was simply not included in the BEP formula.
Each page of the document compared the budget amount with the BEP formula's suggested amounts. In most cases, the budget amounts were larger than the BEP formula amounts for the same categories, which he cited as being further proof the comparisons were not equal.
"It's the best that I know how," Smith said.
Beaty reminded everyone of the need to "behave in a respectful and professional manner" before opening the floor up for comment on Smith's presentation.
McDaniel was the first to speak. He said he and his staff "worked hard on the budget this year," and wanted to "present a balanced budget."
Turner said he and Smith were not on the same page as far as what had been requested.
He said he had mainly wanted to see how the "priorities" of the budget matched up with the BEP rather than trying to "assign the items into buckets."
However, Turner had his own documents to share with the board, including a "Gap Analysis" that showed the differences between the budget and the BEP formula. While many of the items on the list of "gaps" showed the school system was providing more local funding in certain categories than the BEP dictated, the capital outlay category showed what Turner presented as a deficit.
Turner maintained the school system was spending $6,249,796 less than the BEP dictated it should.
"I think this is where the board has got to start some real discussions," he said.
As Turner continued to hand out six pages of charts he made showing various comparisons, Smith interrupted on four different occasions to correct him on how the funds should best be categorized. Smith handed out four more pages of his own that had charts he used to argue his own points.
Amid the corrections from Smith, Turner reiterated that he wanted to focus on "priorities" and was "painting with a broad brush."
Smith shared figures from several school systems statewide to show that many were spending less on capital outlay than other categories. For example, he said Anderson County's most recent budget was $30,400 for the year, and counties like Murray and Rutherford had spent nothing.
"I don't think our capital outlay is out of line at all," Smith said.
Other school board members joined the discussion.
At one point, someone began to try to loudly talk over someone else, and Beaty, trying to call the meeting back to order, pounded her wooden gavel against its base so hard that the cylindrical head of the gavel flew off its handle.
Those heated discussions led to a pointed question by one board member.
"What does the board want to do here?" Weathers asked.
Lillios said he wanted to see the school system create a plan of savings for future capital projects because of the schools that have already been in need of repair.
He stressed it should be a larger portion of the budget to plan ahead for future problems.
"There's not going to be a conclusion tonight," Rose said.
Rose made a motion to request information from McDaniel and the central office staff that included enrollment numbers dating back to 2006 and information on the number of employees paid by the school system and what each of those people do.
Board member Christy Critchfield asked why he wanted that information and if it was so he could look at ways to eliminate certain positions.
"Are you going to pick and choose?" she asked. "That is Mr. McDaniel's job."
He said the information was needed in order for him to make sure money was being spent well and that all the positions were needed, saying the board could "support" and "fight for" the amount of money set aside for personnel if the budget was using the system's money in the best way.
"I'm not interested in cutting anybody's job," Rose said.
All voted in favor of Rose's motion to request the information, except for Critchfield.
Saying she did not want to see a vote on the budget delayed any further, she proposed the board pass the school system's central cafeteria fund budget, general purpose school fund budget and capital outlay budget for the 2014-15 year.
Critchfield, Dillard and Weathers voted for the budgets' passage, and Rose, Lillios, Beaty and Turner voted against.
After some discussion of when the information requested by Rose could be made available, board members made plans to hold another special called meeting on Wednesday at 3 p.m.
McDaniel told the board he had received a call from Bradley County Mayor D. Gary Davis earlier that day, and Davis had asked when the school system would be ready to present its budget. McDaniel said he told Davis it would depend on the board's decision.

I was going to do some journalism today, but it seems NeoGAF user Mama Robotnik has already done all the journalism. This Friend of the People has just posted a massive, massive series of posts about Denis Dyack's troubled Silicon Knights studio, revealing a number of binned projects.
Top of the list, from my perspective, are Eternal Darkness 2, Too Human 2 - or rather, Too Human: Rise of the Giants - and a survival horror game for Sega originally known as The Box, retitled The Ritualyst after Silicon Knights dumped Sega for THQ. I've reposted a number of the included screens below, along with some early concept shots of a Crystal Dynamics game called Shifter, later to become the wonderful Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver (not, it must be said, with Silicon Knights' blessing). The Eternal Darkness 2 pics are still to be confirmed.
The thread is the product of enormous research, obviously, and definitely worth reading in full. Silicon Knights recently lost a long-fought legal battle with Epic Games, to whom it now owes millions of dollars. The writing is definitely on the wall for the house that Dyack built.

Is there any way to keep the Bluejays and Blackbirds out of my yard without scaring away my Hummers? These birds are loud and are dropping pecan and other nut shells all the place leaving a big mess! I do have a cat but I don't want her harming the hummingbirds. Even if I didn't have hummingbirds having a cat wouldn't help anyway because these blackbirds actually go after my cat! What can I do? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I've known people to buy those fake plastic owls...but birds are smart...I think they would figure it out. Or remove the nut trees...if they are yours. |
No I don't have any nut trees, they are bringing the nuts over from someplace else. These birds like to hang out in my Rose of Sharon and Magnolia trees. I don't want to scare away my hummingbirds so if I put a fake owl out will they leave too? |
I really don't know, but not sure an owl could catch a hummer so they might not be afraid. There is bird netting for trees but not sure how effective it is. |
Your messy visitors will perch on that plastic owl and poop on it. They know the difference between it and the real thing. I would love to have the jays visit my yard regularly! |
On the other hand, the scrub jays love eating Tomato hornworms. Have not had damage for years. |
I have never seen a scared hummingbird. Those guys will hover a foot from face and complain about my choice of flowers I grow. Al |
I have watched a Hummer dive bombing a perched golden eagle. The majestic bird had a what-the-heck look about him. It was hilarious to watch. |

Personally, I would love the birds. But to answer your question, I'm not sure that there is anything you could do. SO maybe just chill a little and enjoy all that nature has to offer, including the hummers that dont seem to be afraid of anything. |

In China, a person can be sentenced to death for crimes ranging from theft, to drug offenses, to murder. In a show that aired weekly on the Henan Legal Channel for six years, host Ding Yu conducted interviews with condemned criminals preparing to be executed for murder. Below is a segment from BBC's This World focusing on the Chinese show, titled simply Interviews Before Execution.

Hey all, Found a Used Springfield .45 at the shop today. Compact model. Checkered grips with U.S. part of the engraving. Bushingless barrel. No holster wear marks. No bells and whistles. Standard trigger/hammer. No beavertail. Sights non adjustable with VERY small rear sight notch. Everything looked good. Well lubed. Mag had very little wear marks. For 549 plus tax.. Felt GREAT in the hand. But wanted to ask someone who knows more than I if this sounds like a good deal. Didn't leave empty handed though. Got some BVAC 115 gr. JHP 9mm rounds. 1000 for $229.00.. The PMC FMJ were the same price so I opted for the JHP's. Thanks for any help on the .45.. Yes, Dillinger.. I change my mind more than a woman as you pointed out..

Im not one of these "GURUS" your asking for, but it was a 1911 without a beavertail, and no barrel bushing?
That pistol is a smaller version of the Springfield Mil-Spec(GI) and is supposedly a nice handgun. It is basically a compact standard military styled no frills 1911A1. Zero bells, zero whistles. No beavertail, no extended doo dads...just a solid built basic 1911. I have a fullsize Mil-Spec and it has never given me a seconds problem. Ever. I recommend Springfield...
I want to be a ball turret gunner.
Some 1911's do have a bushingless barrel, and I could be wrong, but I think what was meant is there is a standard grip safety. I would recommend a check on some of the auctions sites (gunbroker, auctionarms). IMO, I would try to get the handgun for about $500 first, but would pay $549 for the Springer.

It's a Springer Champion GI model and $549 for a used one seems a tad high to me. All of the short barreled Springers use a bull barrel (no bushing) and they are decent guns. If the tiny sights don't work for you, it's costly to have the slide milled for a front dovetail to give you the most sight options. Again, decent gun but the price seems high to me. Bud's last price:http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/21_24/products_id/32586
like i said im not a guru with the 1911's. the only 1911 i really know is the one my dad had me grow up with. some friends of mine have the mil-spec SA 1911. I'm fairly certain my next gun will be a Springfield 1911, i just don't know what model yet.
Yeah it's pretty much Springers version of the Officers model (isn't it?). A lot of those smaller 1911's don't use a Bbl. bushing. My MK IV Officers didn't. I'm gonna agree that that might be a little high but I do not know the area you're in to compare. Buds is in Ky not too far from me and that would be high for a used one. Provided Bud's has one. They don't seem to stick around long there. Doing a quick gunbroker search shows prices as high as 634.00 (Mo.) to 477 (Pa). If you can find a new one in a shop in your area you might get a better idea about your area. Also do you have any idea just how used the Springer is?
Bushingless barrels are called Bull Barrel. Here's a NIB Springfield PW9142LP GI CHAMP for less:Springfield Armory 7 + 1 Round Parkerized Champion 45 ACP w/4" Barrel Bud's is out of stock but sells it NIB for $516 delivered.Springfield PW9142LP GI CHAMP 4IN 45PK PKG for Sale at Buds Gun Shop $516.00 Shop around or bargain with the guy.
Wow, what a difference in prices across the nation. I'm up in Seattle/Tacoma area. To answer some questions. VERY LITTLE wear. Magazine barely has scuff marks. Follower has a very faint drag-line on it from last round chambered. Was a pistol owned by an employee of GS. If I get the Toyota Camry for my wife today, there will be no prob. getting the pistol into the house..
So, maybe I was a little high? (Darn medication )

I'm a relative newbie to GW, only finding this forum after looking for pointers on good kitchen design for our upcoming kitchen redo. We live in a 1960 track home where all the rooms are closed off from each other. So..... we're taking down the wall between the kitchen and dining rooms to make one large area and our KD suggested we extend our kitchen cabinets into the dining area to connect the two rooms. Sounds like a good to me but I think it looks awkward the way the KD has designed it. We can't extend the cabinets all the way across the back wall of the dining area under the window because a dog door (Yes we love our dog!) is in the way. So the KD ended the cabinet run about 4' short of the side wall. It's just not balanced and looks odd to me. If we eliminate that run of cabinets the two rooms don't look connected to me. I need some help - what should I do to connect the two rooms better? |

I don't think the kitchen cabinets need to be extended into the dining area to connect the two together. I think running the kitchen cabinets into the dining area might look like you didn't know where to end the kitchen. What are you using for flooring in the kitchen? I thinks a better way to connect the 2 spaces is with the same flooring in both areas. Another thing that might work is a buffet type piece of furniture (in the same finish as the kitchen cabinets) centered under the window. In the space on each side of the buffet you could put side chairs, potted plants or some other decorative items. |
Perhaps have the cabinets built around the door? |
Here is a link that might be useful: Pinterest -- built-in dog door
I agree 100% with Badgergal. |
I agree with the others. Same floor and same paint color(s) would pull the rooms together. |
I think it depends on the design. You have a lot to play with and a good design can accentuate different aspects of the space. If it's done right, extending the line of cabinets could create a really nice effect to draw the two rooms together. But if the overall design isn't done right it won't look good. We did the same thing you are doing. The first design we had was to have a long line of cabinets that extended almost into the dining room (along the side wall), which connected to a banquette that continued along the side wall and then the back wall in an L shape. It was actually really nice and gave us additional cabinetry that we wouldn't have thought about. In the end we only did the banquette on the back wall (for other reasons) but we definitely thought it was more functional and visually appealing than a lot of more conventional designs we thought about. If you trust the skill of your KD you might want to ask him or her to dig into the design a bit. |

Ix-nay on the extra Abinets-K. Unnecessary expense. I also agree with badgergal, same paint, same flooring and a piece of furniture that offers style and/or color repetition will draw those two spaces right together. |
I agree that you can tie the two spaces together with furnishings alone. In our case, we refinished the dining table to mimic the tone of the cabinetry for a unified look. |

The bipartisan commission on the national debt established by President Obama is set to start working in a few weeks, and key players on the panel are getting a bit more attention from the press, as they should.
Of course, it's also just plain fun to write about Alan Simpson, the sharp, saucy Republican co-chair of the group.
Newsweek lets the man speak for himself. Here's Simpson, in an interview, on why the commission's work needs to get done, even in the face of Republicans who are poised to opposed anything that might mean higher taxes:
The people who distort the commission and try to scare people into doing nothing, let's say they win the day, and we don't do anything to try to bring down this debt. Well, great. They've got grandchildren, too, and in 40 years they'll be sucking canal water and picking grit with the chickens.
"This tax thing," as Simpson calls it, is a serious issue. Some conservatives cried foul when Simpson got the commission gig, worried that he didn't have enough anti-tax cred. Grover Norquist was leading the charge, pointing to two budget deals Simpson voted for as a senator that contained tax increases.
The Journal reports that Simpson is firing back. "This `Mr. Tax Hike' business is garbage," he said. The Journal also smartly points to what we can expect as the commission gets going, noting that Simpson is trying "to explode the myth that President Ronald Reagan was an antitax paragon."
"President Reagan was no fanatic or purist," Simpson says. "There were several occasions during his eight years of real stewardship where taxes (however you define them) were raised….Whatever Ronald Reagan did, and whatever policies he embraced, he did for the good of the American people and for future generations of Americans. As co-chair of the President's Commission, I would hunch that if President Reagan were alive and active, he would be supportive of the hard work and hard decisions which lie ahead for our Commission."
That argument gets some strong support from Bruce Bartlett, the former GOP White House and Treasury official who these days spends a lot of time complaining about his old posse. Bartlett's helpfully posted a list, straight from OMB, of "the many tax increases supported and signed into law by Ronald Reagan, which eventually took back half of the 1981 tax cut."
This tax talk is going to heat up as the commission gets rolling. And while Simpson is always fun to listen to, we'll take charts and graphs when we can get them, too.
—Political reporters all too often live in a world of their own, covering pols and polls and staying as far away as possible from anything that looks like policy.
But American Banker deserves credit today for showing why politics reporters should sometimes step out of that box, and why it's wise for reporters on heavy duty policy beats to keep their eyes on the political calendar.
The piece points to a very real way in which these two worlds might be colliding.
The three latest government programs to cure the foreclosure crisis have at least one thing in common: none will likely be fully operational until this fall, which will push the politically potent issue beyond the midterm elections.
The story talks to lots of people in the industry who see the hand of politics in the delays that servicers are facing as they sort out recent policy changes. But the idea that the government is trying to push back the next batch of foreclosures until after Election Day gets a flat-out rejection from the Treasury Department, and the American Banker piece falls short of proving that the political calendar is driving any policy.
—There's an odd, breathless quality to The Hill's story this morning that Republicans are banking on a bunch of business executives-turned-political candidates to boost their chances November.
The Republican campaign committees recruited these candidates because they're not subject to anti-incumbent anger and many can self-fund their races. Democrats are hoping the anxiety about the economy and the financial bailout will be directed at these corporate executives now seeking office.
Yes, that is a nice encapsulation of one of the themes we're likely to see as the midterm elections approach. But the story itself goes on to show why there might not be such a big story here after all.
"The Republicans have always gotten some of their most attractive candidates out of the corporate world," said Ross Baker, a professor of political science at Rutgers University. "American corporations are to the Republican Party what the Dominican Republic is to baseball."
I think that's one of those times when you don't need to call the professor for a comment—unless you really love baseball.

The summer theater lineup offers everything from "Grease" and "Guys and Dolls" to a new play about an imagined meeting between a dying Sigmund Freud and British writer C.S. Lewis.
The show owner Bill Hanney is most excited about is "Mary Poppins," which opens July 23 and will have the beloved nanny swooping about the theater.
"We're flying Mary all over the house," said Hanney. "We're building special platforms so she can land in the balcony."
The remaining show is "Spamalot," coming Aug. 20.
2nd STORY THEATRE
Meanwhile, at Warren's 2nd Story Theatre, artistic director Ed Shea is running Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None" in repertory with Noel Coward's "Hay Fever." The two shows will run through Labor Day in the upstairs theater, sharing the same set.
Shea said the Christie play is similar to her "Mousetrap," which 2nd Story produced last summer. In "And Then There Were None," a group of people who have committed crimes are invited to a vacation home on a remote island where one by one they are picked off by a revenge seeker.
Warwick's new Ocean State Theatre threw its hat into the summer-theater arena last year with a run of "Legally Blonde the Musical." Now it's staging two shows this summer in its 400-seat theater.
"Always … Patsy Cline," based on correspondence between the legendary country singer and a fan ran in June, with "Guys and Dolls" following in July.

Much of the solar industry's attention of late has been focused on the loss of important solar incentives from national governments, including the end of the 1603 grant program in the U.S. However, the Solar Energy Industries Association announced plans at the start of the year, just as the 1603 program was closing up, to shift its focus substantially toward the states rather than the federal government. The group even joined with the state-oriented Solar Alliance to further the interests of the industry.

Get to the Good Part: Hacker Invents a Way to Search Netflix For Nudity, Calls It BateFlix
Remember that scene in Knocked Up when Katherine Heigl helps Seth Rogen out with the Mr. Skin ripoff and starts yelling, "Boobs and bush! Boobs and bush!"? This is better. According to VentureBeat, some anonymous hacker decided to teach himself PHP and HTML by building a site called Bateflix that lets you search Netflix's streaming and DVD catalog for nudity.
Using the Netflix API, BateFlix lets you sort by genre, year, rating, instant vs. DVD, as well as category, such as Forced to Strip, Voyeur Peeping, and something called Nude Modeling Posing. The results are then displayed by level of nudity, from X to XXX. Read More

We talked in detail earlier this year about Zip's new Corvette Thermal Abs Exhaust Tunnel Plate from Elite Engineering. Replacing the factory close out panel in your C5 or C6 Corvette with this new plate will yield a noticeable drop in temperature around the center console area.
Hib Halverson, Corvette technical writer, recently purchased the Elite Engineering Tunnel Plate from Zip and posted his review on Corvette Action Center, an online source for Corvette news and information. Halverson first noticed the radiating heat from the console area of his 2012 Z06 during a 3500 mile road trip with his wife.
"After the trip, I used my Fluke/Raytek "Autopro" infrared (IR) thermometer to take some measurements. I drove about 10 highway miles, then another five miles on city streets ending my test in a downtown parking lot where I took the measurements. I read the temperature of locations on the console and the sides of the tunnel. The hottest area was the front wall of the console compartment where, in three spots , I measured 151°-154 F. The floor of the console compartment was pretty hot, too, measuring 143°-132°F, front-to-rear. A third hot area was the side of the tunnel, just below the top of the seat bottom cushion. I measured two spots, the front corner and adjacent to the seat belt buckle, both at 133°F," Halverson writes.
He continues, "Zip Corvette Parts sells an extra-thick, thermally-insulated tunnel plate made by Elite Engineering, which fits both C5s and C6′s. Not only is the plate Zip sells treated with a metallic-ceramic, thermal barrier coating, but the bottom side, which faces the exhaust, has an additional two-ply (aluminum outer layer to reflect heat and a glass fiber inner layer to insulate) thermal barrier bonded to it. Because of its thermal properties, I ordered one of these tunnel plates from Zip hoping to reduce the temperature inside my car."
Halverson described the installation as easy on C5 and C6 base Corvettes and Grand Sports. However, he noticed more of a challenge when installing on a C6 Z06 and ZR1. "Installing this plate on C6 Z06′s or ZR1′s was not quite as easy. The instructions (provided by Elite Engineering) erroneously tell the installer to reuse all 36 stock tunnel plate bolts, but on Z06′s and ZR1′s, the last eight thread inserts are set higher in the tunnel structure than the same holes on cars with steel frames, so the stock bolts are too short for those holes. If you can get any of them started, they'll strip before you reach the required 89-in/lb. of torque. Zip is packing eight longer bolts with the tunnel plates they sell, but, if you don't get your Elite plate from Zip, you have to buy bolts which are about ¼-in longer than stock."
Once installed, Halverson was pleased with the results. "I took measurements in the same places on the tunnel. I noted temperature reductions everywhere. In the three hottest areas, there was quite an improvement. The front of the console compartment now ranged 126°-134°F, about a 20° decrease. The floor of the console box was now 116°-124°, about a 20° drop and the tunnel next to the seat was 93° and 100°, a 33-43° reduction depending on where I measured."
The bottom line, according to Halverson: the new tunnel plate from Zip did exactly what he wanted it to do.
Read Hib Halverson's full review of the 1997-2013 Thermal Abs Exhaust Tunnel Plate here. Halverson offers valuable insight and suggestions for a smooth as possible installation.

Lately I have not been feeling so prosperous and I recently had a wake up call. I had to immediately reach out to my coaches, mentors to help begin removing my old patterns of my poverty mentality.
Tonight I some how was surfing the net and came across one of my coaches Dr. Deborah Ivanoff past radio show interview with Darel Rutherford, Author of So Why Aren't You Rich? and Being The Solution?, Entrepreneur and Master Teacher of the Being The Solution Workshops. She asks some tough questions about what needs to happen to attract more prosperity.
I just listened to this about 5 times. Listen in right now….
So, Why am I not rich yet? When it comes to paying those bills I have a negative charge look at it thinking I don't have enough. Do you ever feel that way when your paying your bills?
Budgeting is easy but difficult to do when your in denial of what your spending your money on and being conscious of where its going. Speaking from experience I have seen a lot of times I could have avoided wasting my money on eating out, buying things that I don't really need. I can relate to the part where Darel said one of his students did a budget and found out 80% of her income went to eating out and celebrating. It all adds up.
This is all practice but one thing is releasing the attachment to things I have. Recently I been following a lot of minimalist and finance blogs like Man vs. Debt, Zen Habits, Ev Bouge who blogs about having a minimalist business so he can travel the world and do whatever you want. That is truly freedom to me and I am so inspired to sell everything and live off less. You might say well that sounds funny. Abundance is not getting rid of everything. Well for me the new american dream is living off less and creating more cash flow than you spend. I am really just getting real with myself and really want to make a change. I am excited now for what is coming and I know it will take some time but look forward to creating my future.

Let me know what you thought about the show. What tools are you using to help you stay on track?

If any of you noticed, Kari's sister commented on the post and this was what she said:
"Thank you so much for being so willing to help out my sister Kari and her family. I tear up at every act of service Kari has received. She is the most amazing person and I am honored to call her my sister. You are doing a wonderful service and will be greatly blessed. Thank you again from all of us.
When I told my sister how much has been raised so far, she was very emotional. I realize Christmas is a difficult time financially for many, and it is hard to give away even more money, because usually there is not money to be given. But you have all been so selfless. I truly appreciate it and I know that Kari and her children will as well.
Some of you have asked if you could mail a check or cash. That is just fine with me, however, I don't want to put my address on my blog, so please email me and I would be happy to send you my address that way.
I will be bringing her the donation money sometime next week before Christmas. Please feel free to keep donating after Christmas if you feel inclined. I will continue to accept donations for their family through New Year's Eve.
I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
