Tuesday's ceremony marks an eight-year effort to fund its new 25,000- square-foot building.
The new building will be on the southwest edge of the city, on Honeylocust Drive near Jefferson Road.
With two sets of arboretums and state-of-the-art fitness centers at St. Olaf and Carleton colleges, student and adult athletes in Northfield have plenty of space to log miles on the track or trail.
Next Tuesday, the Northfield Area Family YMCA is breaking ground on a building it hopes will give the same chances to fitness newbies and families with children. Due to open next August, the 25,000-square-foot space will feature a family-oriented pool, exercise equipment geared to beginners, showers and locker rooms and a supervised playroom for children.
The groundbreaking marks a new phase in a process that started eight years ago, when residents banded together to form a local chapter of the 169-year-old group.
"There's really no places for families to go to be together," said Patrick Murtha, a board member and volunteer since the group's grass roots days.
Another issue was competitive sports. The arrangement left out kids who didn't make the cut or whose parents weren't able to bring them to games out of town.
"Whole groups of kids were slipping through the cracks," he said.
A local financial adviser, Murtha also sees the issue in business terms: To have a quality business community, he said, you need amenities like the Y. "We didn't want to be a commuter town."
After building gradually each year since 2005, the Northfield Area YMCA operates at 34 different locations in the city and county, including the Northfield Retirement Center, site of the group's current wellness center.
Katie Coudron and her husband, both Y volunteers, go there with their two young boys, who also play in the Y's "Wee" programs like soccer and floor hockey.
"I grew up with the Y" in Wausau, Wis., said Coudron.The experiences of camps and learning skills from sports are "a huge part of what we need to give our kids, I think," she said. "There's not a great place for that to happen in Northfield right now."
The new pool and open meeting space with coffee and Wi-Fi — as well as the second phase's planned gym — will likely be big draws at the new building. But for Director Virginia Kaczmarek, the main benefit is more holistic. It's having "a place for everybody to come together regardless of your background," she said, whether it's for a family night, fitness or service learning.
About half of the current programs will move to the new building, along with its offices.
The facility, which has plans to expand with a full-size gym and family locker rooms, is seeded with $5.2 million of pledges from local business and individual donations, said Kaczmarek, plus one $50,000 grant from a St. Paul group.
"I've looked this up, and I think we've raised more than any nonprofit in town outside of the colleges," she said. "It's a lot of support."
The group, which is paying for the architect and general contractor with a construction "bridge" loan, plans to raise the remainder of both phases' $8 million to $9 million price tag by the grand opening in August.
"Our theme for groundbreaking is 'Help Us Raise the Roof'," Kaczmarek said. "There's still work to do."

Last time we were at Whole Foods I saw these beautiful portabella mushrooms and my mouth started watering. I am the only one who likes mushrooms in our house so I just got one big mushroom for me. I wasn't sure how exactly I was going to prepare it. I only knew I wanted to stuff it and bake it.
And then Emiline's St. Paddy's Day Pub Crawl Blogging Event came along and I knew how I wanted to eat that delicious fungus. For lunch today I had a dish that included the big mushroom, leftover chicken from last night, wine, cream cheese and butter, of course, a little piece of foodie heaven. Can you tell I like my mushrooms?
- •½ cup real butter
- •4oz cream cheese
- •1/3 cup white wine
- •½ tsp powder garlic
- •½ tsp crushed red peppers
- •2 big portabella mushrooms
- •1 tbsp olive oil
- •¼ onion, chopped
- •2 garlic cloves, chopped
- •1 cup shredded chicken
- •¼ cup breadcrumbs
- •salt and pepper
- In a large saucepan melt together butter, cream cheese and white wine. Stir constantly until it thickens. Add powder garlic and crushed red peppers (for more flavor)
- Remove mushroom stems and chopped them.
- Separately, sauté onion and chopped garlic in olive oil until translucent. Add chicken, chopped mushroom stems and let cook for about 5 minutes.
- Add creamy sauce to the chicken and adjust seasoning.
- Fill mushrooms caps and place them on a baking sheet.
- Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top and broil for 6-9 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve and enjoy.
About this recipe:
- There's not much I can say about this recipe other than it was delicious. The flavors combined very well with the mushroom. My only problem is that I broiled it for more than 10 minutes and the mushroom ended up looking kind of flat, but the flavor was still amazing.
If you have a recipe that uses beer, wine or hard liquor you can participate in Emiline's St. Paddy's Day Pub Crawl Blogging Event. But hurry up, the deadline is March 17th.
Buen provecho!

i tried the stuffed mushroom recipe and added some saute celery and toasted cashews..
This recipe came out great…..
That was excellent! I also tried adding some spinach with the recipe and it added much to the flavor. Thanks for your help preparing my special dinner for two.
You folks may think me foolish, but I added Brie cheese with a few chives, garlic, salt and pepper. I added breadcrumbs with butter and sprinkled over the top….then put a slice of Monterey Jack cheese on top. I love the idea Cyndi had about adding spinach! Way to go!
After drooling over at least a dozen of your recipes, I chose this one for my contribution to June's Taste and Create. It's every bit as versatile (and delicious) as you and the others who've commented before me. I'm glad Nicole "introduced" us… I'll be back!
I just wanna say… MAGNIFICENT!!! I made this for dinner tonight and the only thing i changed was instead of using white wine, i used chicken stock. it was so delicious and my husband loved it as well. i would definetly tell anyone to try this. and it's not difficult at all. very easy, very quick and very very very delicious!!!!
I'm going to try this reciepe but I'm using Itailian sausage in place of chicken. I live 8 miles from a mushroom farm and can buy the portabella as fresh as you can get!! Can't wait!!
My best Portobello (a) mushroom
Clean and Prepare Portobello
Place on plate or baking pan
Pour Italian salad dressing into fins of the mushrooms
Allow to set 1-2 hours (or more its OK)
When ready to cook, top with canned arthicoke heards cut in half
Top with a 1/2″ think slice of a large tomato
Top with a piece of pre cooked grilled chicken breast (your choice of flavor doesnt matter)
If grilling make a double thick foil liner for the grill…If baking, line a cookie sheet with foil
Pour in either 1 cup of chicken broth,wine or water.
Cover with another layer of foil
Cook portobellos on grill or in oven at 400 until the mushrooms are soft.
Just before serving melt a good quality cheese on top.
Hopefully there is still a bit of juice left over after baking/grilling to spoon on top.
Enjoy…..you'll love this. -
Wow. Have decided to make my own version of this, by substituting the chicken for quorn pieces, for a vegetarian alternate. Thanks for the recipe. Hope it goes well! =]
I made the dish to be a vegetarian one and out of what I had on hand. I replaced the chicken with red bell pepper cut the butter amount in half, used 3 oz of cream cheese and put parmesan cheese on top with the bread crumbs. It turned out absolutely amazing. The red bell pepper flavors the cream sauce perfectly.
I substituted smoked salmon for the chicken and added fresh asparagus. I'm now about to experiment with using a Cabernet instead of white wine, thinking the Cab will go better with the smoky flavor of the salmon and the mushrooms.

The explicit tape, which has already started appearing on pay-per-view adult Web sites, features intimate footage of the newlyweds having sex, according to British newspaper The Sun.
This is the second time the Latina has been linked to such reports--in 2006, Longoria was rumored to have starred in a Paris Hilton-style sex tape, but it was later proved to be a hoax.
Representatives for both Longoria and Parker have yet to comment.
The news breaks as Longoria appears in a new online spoof sex-tape film for Web site FunnyOrDie.com, in which she bounces on a bed in sexy lingerie with a male friend she calls Perry.
Longoria and Perry also stage a pillow fight and the actress asks, 'Alright, are you sure no one's ever gonna see this?'
She pretended the hoax sex tape was recorded before she landed a job on Desperate Housewives, joking, "I have an audition tomorrow for something called Desperate Housewives," to which her partner scoffs, "That sounds like crap!"

Joe Strange - James is the right man for the biggest stage
Published: 14 Jun 2010 - 08:13:39
For some players, pressure can be the catalyst for a truly special performance. For others, it can be the sole reason for their downfall.
Robert Green is a decent goakeeper, but on Saturday evening he cracked under the strain.
To be a success on the international stage, particularly when you're an Englishman, you need to be able to deal with the demands of having an entire nation on your shoulders.
And that's no exaggeration. On Saturday evening the whole country came to a standstill in expectation of a comfortable win over the United States.
- World Cup diary: June 14
- Gerrard backs Green to bounce back
And while the game was far from a walk in the park, the fact remains that we still should have come away with three points.
Green's mistake, while being completely unforgiveable, didn't come as much of a surprise to me.
Although he had a reasonably solid season with struggling West Ham, the former Norwich stopper has shown on a number of occasions that he's got a mistake in him.
Yes, the same can be said of most keepers, even David James and Joe Hart, but Green has consistently displayed his inconsistency, often mixing the sublime and ridiculous in the space of just a few minutes.
Despite having only 13 caps for the Three Lions he's already been sent-off, having seen red against Ukraine during the qualifying campaign for South Africa 2010.
Add to his unpredictable form a failure to deal with the big occasion and you have a recipe for disaster.
Along with his major error, Green's display was punctuated by hesitation and poor distribution - it was as if all he was thinking about was the millions glued to their televisions at home, rather than what was going on in front of him.
Experience is key in football, especially in tournaments as vital as FIFA's showpiece. And along with his questionable ability, Green just doesn't have the knowledge and understanding that comes with a long international career.
For me it's got to be David James in goal against Algeria. His nickname might be 'calamity' but by all accounts he is the back-four's preferred choice.
He might but pushing 40, but with age comes experience and an ability to deal with the big occasion.
Green might be good enough for a West Ham side struggling at the wrong end of the table, but an England goalkeeper he definitely is not.

Mubarak steps down. Will Obama step up?
Regarding the revolt in Egypt, Washington has so far taken an ineffective, middle-of-the road approach. Even as President Obama called for a credible path toward democracy, he must back the opposition protesters much more decisively.
New York
H.L. Mencken wrote that for every complex problem there is one solution "that is simple, neat, and wrong." When it comes to the American response to the crisis in Egypt, it appears we have two of them.
One relies on the idea that the US can determine the outcome of this new transition period. The other depends on the notion that there will be dire consequences if we back the opposition and a supporter of (former) President Hosni Mubarak retains power. Both assumptions, while seductive, are false.
Consequently, Washington has taken an ineffective, middle-of-the road approach.
As Egyptian history continues to sprint forward following Mr. Mubarak's resignation, the Obama administration should back the opposition much more decisively, however disparate and uncertain its makeup and aims. For if one of Mubarak's comrades in the military or his National Democratic Party emerges stably in power, we lose very little. They will not change the policies we care about. If the opposition ends up gaining power, however, our position is dramatically stronger than it would be otherwise.
President Obama cheered on the spirit of the Egyptian people today and called on the military to ensure a speedy path toward free and fair elections. Though he did not commit himself to anything, let's hope it was the first step toward a new policy.

BERKELEY, CA (CNN) — An Oakland Raiders cheerleader has filed a lawsuit against the team over pay, or really the lack there-of!
Identified in court papers only as "Lacy T," she says her pay of just over $1,200 for the season amounted to less than $5-an-hour for appearances at games, rehearsals and charity events.
"Lacy-T" says the team also sticks them with travel costs and levies "fines" that eat into their meager salary.
CNN host Brooke Baldwin interviewed "Lacy T" about what prompted her to file suit:
"Soon after the season started and I signed this legal contract, as you say, I started having some feelings that maybe things weren't so legal. I was working three times a week with practices. I was going to events, paying so much money out of pocket and, at that moment, I realized that was a lot different than the NBA. I didn't have any out of pocket expenses when I danced for the Golden State Warriors and I was paid an hourly wage for all hours worked. It didn't matter if it was practice or photo-shoots and I received a paycheck every two weeks. When I took the contact home to my husband he immediately said, 'Lacy, let's get a second opinion on this.'"
Lacy T. is asking that the lawsuit move forward as a class action suit, so that all the Raiderettes could join.
She's also seeking restitution from the team.

Part of the reason there aren't more women posting is...there are a bunch like my wife. I keep her to busy cooking & cleaning my guns to have time to post ...........honey, put that gun down!....honey......
(boy, I'm going to pay for that...........)
Seriously, I've said this before, but women are important to our future as gun owners in the US......
http://www.combatcarry.com/vbulletin...t=12721&page=3I think this is the key to expanding our base. The more women, mothers, daughters, girl friends...etc.....the better.
Once women are converted, politicians will have to follow. The more females are convinced that a firearm is a good way to defend themselves, the easier the conversion will be. Women drive a lot of political & social issues. Where men just do things to make the females happy. Gun control was one of them, now with more & more women shooters, gun control is less of a political platform.
As for teaching females to shoot, I have found them all, without exception, easier to teach then men. I think part of it is women have not developed bad habits that men have. For instance, most men who have not shot very much tend to anticipate recoil & flinch or jerk the trigger. Women on the other hand, don't seem to have this issue (or at least it is less pronounced).
Another thing that women don't have a problem with is EGO. Most men have the attitude that they are the masters of everything & don't need, or take advice as well as women.
I've taught as many women as men & by far, I would rather deal with women since they are easier to teach. Women also tend to be more natural shooters, the techniques seem to stick with them better since a lot of men are more worried about being 'cool'.
My wife is good with a pistol, my mother (all 5'1" of her) is great with a shotgun & my daughter is great with an AR (she's an Army MP, she also loves the US Army's SAW, when mounted in a HMMWV.).

The University of Hawaii at Hilo College of Continuing Education and Community Service and UH-Manoa College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources recently collaborated with five current farmers market and agritourism managers to craft a Hawaii-specific, best-practices manual.
"Hawai'i Farmers Market and Agritourism Venues: Best Food Business and Food Handling Practices for Farmers and Vendors" is based on solid experience from people who operate some of Hawaii's best farmers markets, said CTAHR's Jim Hollyer, who funded the project with resources from the state Department of Agriculture's Agribusiness Development Corporation.
"We did extensive research on similar guides and tested out and refined the content with two panels of experienced farmers market vendors, so we know we have a useful educational tool," said Luisa F. Castro, the UH-Hilo project coordinator for the manual.
The farmers market manual covers marketing and food safety in significant detail, illustrated with dozens of photo examples. Contributors represent all Hawaii counties, different organizations and a variety of markets.
"We looked for experience, market leadership, and a willingness to contribute all they know from our coauthors, and we are pleased with the collaboration," Castro said.
Coauthors include Nancy Ginter-Miller, Produce to Product, Inc.; Pamela Boyar, FarmLovers Farmers' Markets; Lani R. Weigert, Hawaii Agritourism Association; Neil Coshever, Upcountry Farmers Market; and Melissa McFerrin Warrack, Kauai County Farm Bureau, in addition to Castro and Hollyer.
Copies are being distributed to each island by the authors, and additional copies can be obtained from Castro at UH-Hilo by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com or calling 974-7664.
The manual also can be downloaded for free at http://www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/oc/freepubs/pdf/HI_Farmers_Market_and_Agrito....

If Everyone Lived Like Canadians, We'd Need 3.7 Planets
As Canadians, we are incredibly lucky to live in a country with so much natural wealth, but we're taking that for granted. We're placing huge demands on the planets' resources, ranked 11th per capita in the world. If everybody in the world lived like Canadians, we would require 3.7 planets to meet our needs -- clearly, this is not sustainable.

A group of academics pushing for an amendment to the lese majeste law is demanding the Lower House review its decision to not consider their proposal.
The Campaign Committee for the Amendment of Article 112 (CCAA) presented to parliament on May 29 last year a bill that would amend the section of the Criminal Code covering lese majeste offences.
The House decided on Oct 11 the amendment would breach the constitution and refused to accept the bill for debate.

Bangor, Cardiff and Swansea among local TV locations
More than 800,000 homes across 11 communities in Wales could get new local TV services, say UK ministers.
Those able to bid for licences include Cardiff, with coverage to include Bridgend and Newport; Mold, which includes Denbigh and Ruthin, and Swansea with Llanelli.
Bangor, Carmarthen and Haverfordwest can also bid.
Wales Office Minister David Jones MP said it had "huge potential" for how Welsh towns would access news.
Mr Jones said it was a "very exciting time for broadcasting in Wales" and would strengthen the ability of communities to hold their representatives to account.
"I encourage local communities in Bangor, Cardiff, Carmarthen, Haverfordwest, Mold and Swansea to make the case for local TV in their area," he said.
- Bangor - 22,000 households
- Cardiff, coverage to include Bridgend and Newport - 500,000 households
- Carmarthen - 51,000 homes
- Haverfordwest - 25,000 homes
- Mold - to include Denbigh, Ruthin - 89,000 households
- Swansea - also to include Llanelli -116,000 households
- Source: DCMS
Six Welsh areas - covering 11 towns and cities - are on a longlist of 65 locations across the UK in the running to pioneer the UK's first local TV services.
The Cardiff coverage would include Newport and Bridgend; the Swansea coverage would include Llanelli, while Mold's coverage is expected to include Denbigh and Ruthin.
'Huge appetite'Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt is keen to mirror the concept of US-style local television in the UK.
In the US many cities, rather than wider regions, have their own news and entertainment coverage, a model Mr Hunt wishes to embody here.
Mr Hunt said: "These new, local TV services will be a fundamental change in how people get information about their own communities, and how they hold their representatives to account.
"There's a huge appetite for local news and information in communities the length and breadth of the country.
"I want people to be able to watch television that's truly relevant to them, about what's happening where they live and featuring the people they know."
This is Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt's big idea.
He argues that the one gap in British broadcasting is that of local TV.
What Mr Hunt is announcing today is a step along the road to changing all that and he will announce 65 towns and cities, including several in Wales.
There's £40m from the licence fee in terms of start-up costs but Mr Hunt wants these projects to be self-sustaining, so advertising is one route.
In other countries the channels have got money from cable providers but there are going to start off by just broadcasting a couple of hours of TV a day and we won't see them on TV for a couple of years yet.
The first licences will be open to bidders in a few months' time and will be awarded after the Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) has judged the level of interest from potential broadcasters and audiences.
The views of companies who are interested in bidding for the single multiplex licence will also be sought.
Around £40m of licence fee money has been earmarked for start-up costs but projects will need to be self-sustaining.
Over the next few weeks a series of events will be held in different areas aimed at encouraging local communities to bid for the licences, which will be awarded next year.
The Welsh TV Summit with Mr Hunt will be held in Cardiff on 26 August.
David Elstein, former chief executive of Channel 5, told BBC Radio Wales the latest version of the plans was a "bottom up, top down" approach, for anyone with a viable business plan.
He said: "My personal view is that this will only work when we have fully rolled-out broadband and the internet delivers our content.
"Then you won't need a local TV station but what you will click onto is highly-localised content, be it news or entertainment, delivered at the lowest possible cost and without all the trappings of a traditional broadcast system."
But Alun Ffred Jones, Plaid Assembly Member for Arfon and Wales' former culture minister, questioned why there was a need for a local television "masterplan".
He said: "It's fine in theory but is it practical?
"If it does happen it will need to happen in a different manner and at a different economic time."
Do you live in one of the areas? Would you like to see more local news and information?
I hope NEWPORT wins one of the licences, Cant wait to get involved if they do.
i think its a great idea and it will bring more jobs to the area.
what an marvellous oppotunity this will be providing local information to many more people not just those able to purchase local newspapers. This will I hope also provide local businesses the opportunity to advertise to local people improving the local economy whislt financing the local station.
Mid Wales missing out again!Local TV!!!!??? Can still only receive a few Freeview programmes 12 months after inception in this area. Oh dear! Where are the priorities?
Wales doesn't need local TV stations, we need fair coverage of the whole of Wales by the our media that represents the North, South, East & West and that means proper regional stations in both languages that represents North Wales, Mid and south & west Wales then merging into a proper Welsh national Station not where as present we receive the so called BBC network news first in which it often reports news biased towards English news & sports over the other nations. We get our Cardiff centric, mickey mouse news transmitted from a set built for a penny that reports only small news. At least S4C has a bigger outlook and reports proper all Wales news & stories from around the globe like other normal countries do. No! to the Tories small minded ideas with Local stations and Yes! to proper Welsh regional stations merging into a proper National Station in Wales that comes first before the BBC news!
Absolutely love this idea - just hope BBC and ITV can help out with these bids as well so that the coverage can be as professional and watchable as possible.
Why not have a full coverage all over wales of the existing channels, why should wee pay the same amount of licence fee and only get a third of what others get. Wee pay the same amount so lets get the same amount of channels.
HTV used to broadcast from Mold I recall as a kid from Theatre Clwyd as it was then. I would welcome some local stories that are relevant to me rather than the generic news we see on the box at the moment. I would probably watch the news then rather than just read it. There may be opportunity for some local programming as well which would be fun. Documentaries on local attractions or places would be great heck I may even get involved, sounds fun.
Can we have broadband first please?

The Gift is a 2000 American supernatural thriller film directed by Sam Raimi, written by Billy Bob Thornton and Tom Epperson and based on the alleged psychic experiences of Thornton's mother.[2]
The film centers on Annie (Cate Blanchett) becoming involved in a murder case as a result of acquiring keen knowledge about the crime through her extrasensory perception. Other major characters are played by Keanu Reeves, Giovanni Ribisi, Hilary Swank, Katie Holmes, and Greg Kinnear.
In the town of Brixton, Georgia, widow Annie Wilson is the resident fortune-teller who possesses extrasensory perception. Jessica King (Holmes), the fiancée of local school principal Wayne Collins (Kinnear) disappears.
Annie eventually receives a vision revealing that Jessica has been killed and her corpse thrown into a pond. She informs local sheriff Pearl Johnson (J.K. Simmons) of her vision and with this information, Johnson searches a pond at the estate of Donnie Barksdale (Reeves), the violent husband of one of Annie's clients named Valerie (Swank). Valerie permits the search while Donnie is absent from their residence, but the latter returns while the search is proceeding. The police find Jessica's corpse in the pond and Donnie is arrested for her murder.
During his trial for Jessica's murder, it is revealed that Jessica and Barksdale had an affair. The case against Barksdale is strengthened when evidence supporting that Barksdale is the murderer is discovered; Annie also takes the stand and Donnie is eventually convicted and sent to prison.
Buddy Cole (Ribisi), an acquaintance of Annie's, harbors a hatred for his father. The former tries to explain to Annie why he hates his father but Annie is preoccupied and refuses to listen to the explanation of the vulgar Buddy. Later, Buddy's mother calls Annie to come to their house as Buddy has snapped and has his father bound to a chair. Buddy sets his father on fire and it is then revealed that Buddy's father sexually abused him as a child. Buddy is eventually taken to a mental hospital.
Later, Annie receives another vision divulging that Donnie is innocent. She asks District Attorney David Duncan (Gary Cole) to reopen the case. Duncan refuses, but Annie counters that if he does not do so she will reveal an engagement of Duncan with Jessica in sexual activity which Annie witnessed; Duncan attempts to bribe Annie in exchange for her silence, but Annie refuses, still wanting justice for Barksdale.
Annie tells Collins that Barksdale is not responsible for Jessica's death and that Duncan will not reopen the investigation. After driving out to the pond that night with Collins, Annie learns from a vision that Collins is Jessica's murderer. Collins confesses to Annie that he was angry after he discovered that she was cheating on him. Collins attempts to kill Annie, knowing that she will inform the police of his guilt for the crime, but Buddy appears and knocks him out; Annie and Buddy lock the unconscious Collins in the trunk of Annie's car.
Buddy returns to Annie a handkerchief that she had lent him earlier. The two drive to the police station with Collins stowed in the trunk. Annie tells Buddy that he will have to return to the mental hospital and he waits in the car while she enters the station to talk with Sheriff Johnson. When she returns to the car with the police to retrieve Collins from the trunk, Buddy has disappeared. When Annie explains to Johnson what happened at the pond, he informs her that Buddy committed suicide at the mental hospital earlier that day. However, Annie still has the handkerchief that Buddy returned to her.

A good plan executed today is better than a perfect plan executed at some indefinite point in the future. - General George Patton Jr
Thanks guys for all of the info!! Since I don't have a nearby range to go to I'm gonna take a stab at one and shoot the heck out of it!!! After all, I still enjoy shooting my HiPoint and it's a club!!! Any of the ones mentioned in this thread will be like a Cadillac compared to what I got. Sort of narrowed it down to either the M&P or a Sig.
UPDATE: gonna extend my price point to $800-$1000 and like the Sig P226 tactical operations.
A base Sig when I bought my 226 about 3-4 years ago was better than 750 nib.
Why not try the Ruger SR9, then you can use those extra hundreds of dollars on ammo. Awesome trigger, striker fired, comfy grip and runs under 500.00.
If you are going to use this gun as back up for hunting then you want a gun that can Knock a bear on its ass. with $600 you are looking at a .45 and have a choice of the M&P45, RIA 1911, maybe a Glock 21 if you can find one, or one of the tarus wheel gun models. If I were you and since you have a Hi-Pont already and yiou know they are not pieces of junk, get the .40 and the .45 models AND get a 995TS or 4095TS so then you will have 3 new guns v. one more when the President outlaws them all.

Well Rob, I'd like to say something like, "Hey dude, I just don't dig this, ya know, man?" But, I'm trying to quit talking like that. It's been 25, or so, years since I've indulged in a little pookiewayno. Now that I'm in my 60's…let's just say, "The Thrill Is Gone". Besides, my other half would kick me to Mexico.
In retrospect, I have mixed feeling about pot. I personally believe it's a deterent to violence. But on the other hand, it can induce some serious amotivational syndrome behaviors in a lot of our kids who should other wise be investing time in minor things like say, school.
I'm all for medical use. It is time to call off the dogs on people who genuinely get benefits from it's use.
In so many ways we are a nation infused with an abundance of ignorance and hypocrisies, especially when it comes to so many things related to science, which includes mari-jah-wanna use and so many other types medications that Europe and other countries seem to have recognized as beneficial. Hell, stem cell research is like some kind of witchcraft to many. Oh, and I can't leave out evolution…but, that's just my ancient amoeba brain that's causing me to pop all of this stuff out.
Michael Phelps is a clear victim of our nation's lack of noodle power. Reason and logic hasn't become fashionable in the good old U.S. of A.
I just don't know. What's the chance of space travel anytime soon? I'd like to move on to more sane environment.

Garage is now organized!
I didn't initially realize the clutter in the garage had been caused by yours truly until things got bad enough for me to say no more as I parked the car in the garage and would walk in having to dodge around things. Granted my tolerance level of "junk" is fairly low but even so the chaos was too much.
I've been selling and giving away items on CL for the past few months here and there and was waiting for a nice day to venture out for a final purging. Yesterday was the nice enough day, I had been waiting for.
My DH and I went out to see what was available for shelving and bins. We found some heavy duty 27 gallon storage bins for only $8.10 (after pricing matching & 10% more off). The heavy duty material allows us to stack them on top of each other w/o crushing the others so we nixed the shelving completely. We only wanted to go 3 high so we could have easy access to the most used items. We initially bought 9 and ended up going back for 6 more for a total of 15 bins! We brought items that had been stored in the basement to the garage where it made more sense to store. We actually had more in the garage then ever but it ended up MUCH better organized and clutterless.
It made me question the amount of things we were keeping but it's all used being that we are DIYers and active in games/activities.
After years of organizing, and then having to reorganize again because the "system" wasn't working, I learned a very important lesson. Organize to the way I live, not to the way I want to live. I know for myself if things are easy to toss together in a bin with like categories, I'm much more likely to put it there. If I have many bins in smaller categories, it isn't going to happen for me.
For example, I've got 2 bins for my gardening now. 1 is the chemicals & fertilizers. The other is planting soil & tools. Before the chemicals were together with other chemicals, the fertilizers were on another shelf, the tools were in multiple places (didn't have a true home) and the soils were in another location. Not only were they all over the place, it looked messy!
We've got a few things we need to give away yet (my DD just took the tomato cages & soaker hoses last night) and we're in desperation for the recycling to come (aagh 11 more days yet), with cardboard & garden pots. After that it will look just like I had envisioned.
Wow! I'm SO jealous! Our clutter in the garage is not caused by me, but by my hubby. You've actually given me some good ideas and the bin idea rocks! I've organized and reorganized the garage more than once, but it NEVER stays that way! Park my truck in there? No way! But, when you said you have to organize to the way you live, rather than the way you WANT to live, that made so much sense. I'm buying Bins and then will HELP to make sense of that mess out there! Thanks so much!
Grandmamaloy, I'm glad you were able to find some ideas that will work for you.
We were very systematic about the whole organizing. We initially got the 9 containers which took care of everything in the garage. It seemed so good, we decided to put some of the things that were in the basement closer to where they are actually used.
For example, the camping gear was all in the basement. We'd have to lug it upstairs, where now we can take out what we need, or in some instances just take the entire container. So often we'd come home and were too tired to put it away. Having it in the garage though makes it much easier to just empty the camping gear from car to bin...like I said it's how we live.
Even the location of the bins, my DH and I sat down to determine, what was stored in the top bins, and what got delegated to the bottom. My gardening bins are in the top, where all I have to do is pop the top off, to take out and put back in what I need. Extension cords and sports equipment also made it in the top 5 bins.
Below all these main bins are the items we use a few times a year like camping gear, inflatable kayaks (blow up in the spring, store in the fall).
Time will tell if we finally got it right, but I'm betting we have (I sunk what I consider a lot of money with the bins).
Your DH may feel so buried he doesn't know where to begin and will welcome your help. Good luck!
The heavy duty material allows us to stack them on top of each other w/o crushing the others so we nixed the shelving completely. We only wanted to go 3 high so we could have easy access to the most used items.
I worry that you should have gotten the shelves anyway, to put the bins on. I predict that you will find it to annoying or hard to access the lower bins.
One good thing--you can add shelving for the bins pretty easily if that turns out to be the case.
Especially if you are DIYers. You can get 3/4" thick external-grade plywood, cut it into strips (since your bins are identical in size, the measurements, etc., of the shelves will all be the same, so that'll help make it fast), and attach them into cubbies or shelves sized for the bins to slide into. (Do you have a Kreg pocket-hole jig? that would make short work of the project).
My plan w/ bins--if I can ever get to it--is to make shelving units that the bins slide into as if they were drawers. And I'm going to make them as carts, so I can pull them out of our deep, skinny storage closet. That way it's easier to get to the stuff in the back. Still more work that other people have, but far better than now.
Because I think that you're totally right--when you come home from camping, you just want to dump the stuff, not lug it to the basement. And maybe not shuffle bins around. If you can pull the proper bin straight out (instead of lifting off the wrong bin to get to the right bin, and then stacking them all back), you may find it even more appealing to do so.
I think you're so wise to focus on making it easy to put it away. And I have many places where the "just dump it all in there" thing works better than lots of dividers (that's how I file paperwork--big categories. If I want the stuff, I'll go digging for it, so it's OK if getting it out is more of a chore).
Congrats on your garage!!
Here's the sort of shelf/cubby I was thinking of for aloha2009 (shorter for her, maybe--though if she can build up more (bcs the cubbies make the lower bins easy to access), she can free up more floor space.
Plus, love the storage on the sides.
This is sort of what I want to do, but I think i can only fit 3 bins vertically, and I want to put big casters on them.

Firsthouse. there are a few more tweaks I want to make prior to picture taking. A gardening friend is picking up a ton of extra pots and now I'm storing some plants that I should be able to plant in Aprilish.
TalleySue - we thought long and hard about the bins but decided that it would be MUCH easier to access the stuff we use a lot if we only had to pop the top off. If we were to put things on a shelf, we'd have to slide the bin out and then pull the lid off since there wouldn't be enough room from shelf to shelf to pull the lid off.
The top 5 bins house the things we are multiple times per year. The extra 10 bins are things we typically use once or twice a year. For instance, we have our inflatable kayaks in 2 bins. We'll inflate them late spring, and put them away in the fall. Outdoor lights are in another. Tent equipment usually gets used once per year...I think you get the picture. Though we will on occasion have to remove a bin to get to another, it will only be a few times per year.
Another reason we decided not to get the shelves was the heaviness of some of the bins. There is no way I would want/could pull out the "correct" bin for those items that we rarely use (but do use). Though all the bins are used they aren't equally used. Super easy access to the much used items, and the infrequent items are more difficult...kind of like your filing system. Even if someone were to give me bins for free, I wouldn't want them...time will tell.
I'd still like my DH to move the rakes, shovels, brooms, etc to the other side of the garage but where they are is OK (the other side is less noticeable).
Annkh - good luck on your garage. It's been a cold winter for much of the US out East (not sure where you are). We had that nice weekend and we were able to toss what we needed to. Now when I come home, I look over the garage to see that nothing else starts creeping in. This summer will be a real test and I'll be watching for signs that the basic organization needs tweaking. It kind of feels strange (but good) not having to navigate around things.
I see that "pop the top off" idea!
I just know that I'd have more trouble digging to the bottom; it's what frustrates me w/ my stacks of bins. The one I want is always on the bottom.
But it sounds like you've got your easy-access concept thought out for your situation!
Wow I'm even more proud then I was before about this project.
Reading everyone's notes, inspired me to search for even better ways to get the garage organized. When I was searching, I thought, geez my garage looks a lot better then these "organized" garages. I can't say that for all of them, but a lot of garages seemed still messy to me.
The ones with expensive, tall specialty cabinets and painted flooring (I would like that done some day) stood out from the crowd BUT mine looks pretty nice nevertheless compared to other organized garages. Instead of spending a few thousand on cabinets, I spent about $140.
For myself, I would love to have everything in cabinets, but can't justify the expense for the garage to look like it should be in a magazine.
Anyone postponing till spring, I would suggest starting now. Get rid of any obvious large items that you no longer want or use. I really didn't spend that much time on the actual garage clean up since I had gotten rid of things in the months preceding the final clean up.
Our city has a Spring Cleanup Week - free collection of virtually anything put out on the curb that week (including appliances, furniture, etc). It's always an incentive to clean up! It's some time in May.
Aloha, our average temperature here in North Dakota has been right around 0ðF since the first of December. This week we'll be above freezing for several days in a row, which we haven't seen all winter. We still have 2 feet of snow on the ground. I'm pretty tough about doing things in the winter (I went skiing on a 0ð day), but I really don't want to spend a couple of hours in the garage until I can do it in comfort. I'm waiting for a sunny, 50ð day that falls on a weekend, and that might not be until April!
Anyone postponing till spring, I would suggest starting now. Get rid of any obvious large items that you no longer want or use. I really didn't spend that much time on the actual garage clean up since I had gotten rid of things in the months preceding the final clean up.
I love this advice.
We're all sick of winter, right? We wish we could "trash" it?
So use that "rejection" energy to get rid of stuff. Then it'll be so much easier to figure out how to store stuff, because the things you don't want won't be filling up your mental image of what there is.
But yeah, a cold garage; too much show to make it easy to cart stuff to the curb or the recycling center or the Goodwill...
Our weather yo yos a lot in Colorado and we rarely have snow on the ground unless it's snowed recently. It was so nice to be outside that it made cleaning the garage, dare I say enjoyable.
I gave a few things away on CL and threw some away. Much of it, got into the bins though as we did need much of the stuff.
When it gets consistently nice, I'd like to scrub the garage floor. Winters track in soooo much yuck!
Wanted to follow up as to how the garage organization is working out....IT'S BEEN GREAT!!!
Opening the bins is easy and convenient and so is the cleaning up afterwards. Like items are now together w/o having to search in several locations for the needed items.
We gave away a few more items along with throwing some more out. We've got a few items to take back to the store but it's looking and working out really nice.
Now that's it's warmer, I swept the garage again, knocked some cobwebs down, and scrubbed the oils stains. My DH commented this morning that it sure is nice being able to walk through the garage and not feel like he has to put on his shoes or else "brave the elements".
I'm so glad it's working for you! Thanks for the followup, and the inspiration.
Extra nice to hear that your organization work then made actual cleaning so much easier.
I had another thought about accessing those bottom bins. Maybe you could use shelves that are only two layers, and the top bins sit on top of them.
Then you can pop the tops off the top layer, so you have that ease of accessibility for those.
But the bottom layers can be pulled out in one motion, opened (2nd motion), closed (3rd) and pushed back in (4 motions).
Because right now you have the same number of motions for the top bin (remove top bin, open, close, lift top bin back on top), but with much more lifting. However, for that bottom bin, you have 6 motions, since you have to take off the top 2 bins.
Talley Sue - I may not have explained myself well enough but basically we want super easy access 80% of the time, and we'll do the lifting the other 20% of the time
Currently the top bin is at just the right level (no bending) and even at 5'3" I can easily reach in and see all the contents. I have 2 motions, open lid, close lid - no lifting whatsoever.
Sorry the stacking bins didn't work for you, but we're loving it. Several unsolicited compliments as to what a nicely organized garage we have. I thought we may have to tweak the organization but it seems to be working great!
I still haven't done my garage (we've been crazy busy, and out of town a lot), but it's getting close. I might just have to take a day off from work and get it done. My sons came home from college and dumped all their stuff in the family room, and are still chipping away at that, which is first priority.
We have been accumulating a lot of scrap iron to sell, and that takes up room. I have lots of shelves in the garage with tubs, and I want to go through those, and probably toss a bunch.
We also have a storage shed under the deck. It's hard to get to, since the deck is only 4 feet off the ground, and we tend to toss stuff in but not clean out. That's on my list too!
Annkh, personally I wouldn't dream of taking a day off of work to organize. Organizing IMO is best done done in stages. I know I sure don't have the stamina to go 8 hours straight (and I regularly work out).
It's fun to have the kids back from college I'm sure. Something I did with my kids was to have their junk in their own rooms and not all over the house. By the time they were teenagers, I found it impossible to have them keep their room tidy (you have to choose your battles) but I did make them confine it to their rooms.
The ah ha moment was when I looked down the foyer and saw 4 backpacks, 4 pairs of shoes with 4 coats on the floor (4 kids) when they came back from school. Their rooms could be a dumping ground but not the common areas which we all shared.
I too would wait until I had enough and then get rid of it. You might be surprised though of how energizing it is to do some. It's not nearly as exhausting. I found that though I would think I had all of it, there was something else I forgot to get rid of. Knowing that you just take a fair amount and will be coming back again in the near future, allows for the enjoyment as you "build" on an organized place.
The storage shed under the deck is likely all junk since it's hard to get to. Unless it's large items (storage for a canoe etc.) small items can easily get lost.
I've been doing a lot of reading lately about minimalism and that's now what I'm striving towards. Minimalism isn't so much about having only a few things as it's about having things that you really need or want.
We all struggle with the maybe I'll use it someday, or the sentimental attachment an item has that you personally don't like, and my personal struggle is throwing away something that is a part of a set. The more I read about minimalism though the more I understand what holds me back at times, which frees me to purge deeper. Letting go of the stuff, allows more room for those around us and time to do what you really want to do in life...do you really want to take a day off to organize?
Saturday was Garage/Shed day, at last! Our neighbors are doing some remodeling, and had a rolloff in the driveway, so we were able to toss some larger things without paying for an extra trash pickup.
I have shelves above the garage door (only accessible when the door is closed). There I found several tubs of books - mostly paperbacks. DH and I went through them, found a few we wanted to keep, and donated the rest to our library's book sale.
There were a few tubs of things that belonged to my MIL. DH is in the process of going through them, and getting rid of most things.
The shed contained a generator (that we rarely use, thankfully); a couple of old suitcases that got tossed; some lawn chairs; a large tent; kids' toys that we want to keep (our sons had a huge collection of Thomas the Tank Engine cars and tracks); a large collection of National Geographic magazines that I was finally ready to let go.
The shed needs to be leveled (it's not on a foundation), then all that's going back in will be the generator and a few tubs.
Oh, the scrap iron is gone, along with at least 8 pairs of shoes. Every time someone in the family gets a new pair of tennis shoes, the old ones get tossed in the garage, to be used for lawn mowing/painting. But DH and the boys all wear the same size - they really only need 1 or 2 pairs for the three of them.
Our garbage can is full, but the garage is a lot emptier!
Good job, Ann!
Aloha, which totes did you use? I have a bunch of clear totes that I've been using for a few years, and I really like them. I love being able to see what's inside. The problem is that I want more, and I have no idea of the brand/size. If I have to start over with new totes, I want to make sure that I get some that are decent.
Yes Ann you have really been working it!
Errant my totes are not the prettiest but they are VERY durable. I had Home Depot price match Costco's price of $8.99 which is how I got them for the $8.10. As you can see, that was a real bargain. I personally like not seeing the things on the outside. It seems messy and when there are smaller items. I grouped mine into logical groupings on paper before we went out and got the bins.
It still amazes me how great this system is working for us. So much area to walk around it, with no worrying I'm going to trip over something.
Here is a link that might be useful: Totes
PPrioroh, if you mean pictures from myself, I can't post them. Several months ago, the networking for my computer & DS's hasn't been working. My DH's access is fine, so we've been hobbling along w/o easy access to pictures. So until he has time to set aside (being he's outside now redoing a custom rock wall), it's not going to happen. I don't feel it's fair to bug him, since he's been doing a ton of exterior jobs around the house.
I've started "messing" things up some in the garage, luckily nothing to do with the organizing method we've got in place. I've been going through another "layer" of possessions, and have a 3 boxes of items to go to the Goodwill (after my kids get 1st dibs) on the garage countertops.
I've got a LOT of empty space in my kitchen cabinets now!
So the organizational plan seems to be working!
The garage stayed relatively tidy most of the summer. This past week though it was getting pretty messy(at least to my new standard), when my DH came home from climbing four 14,000+ mountains in a day, dumped all of his camping equipment into the garage because we had company come in from out of town. At least all this mess didn't come INTO the house.
We finally had a chance to tidy it up today and it took all of 10 minutes, to put the remainder of displaced items away, and sweep out the garage. It's now as tidy as it was back in February.
Since I have no other place to propagate new seedlings, I'm going to have to mess up the counter top with all kinds of plants. Oh well my little plant darlings always trump having things look just so.

As the fastest growing social-networking tool out there, there's no doubt you know someone who's on Twitter, if you're not on there yourself. After all, there's something incredibly appealing about this microblogging site that allows you to provide glimpses into your personal and professional lives 140-characters at a time.
There are a number of different interfaces to use to get to your Twitter account, read other people's updates and keep track of followers. That's because Twitter provides an easy Application Programming Interface (API) with which programmers can interface. This is one of the reasons why there are so many Twitter clients, they're just so easy to make! Making Twitter clients that both follow your friends and post tweets is very easy in Ruby.
Before you can dive in and use Twitter from Ruby, you'll want to take a little time to explore the Twitter API manually. You can use the CURL command-line tool to access the Twitter API and examine the data Twitter returns.
The Twitter API returns data in XML format, so in order to make a program you'll need to be able to extract information from the XML. Parsing this data to extract the information you need is essential to making a Twitter program in Ruby.
Once you have a handle on the Twitter API and parsing the data returned by Twitter, it's time to start tweeting! Tweeting from Ruby requires a POST request, instead of a GET request. This is almost the same, the only difference is the Net::HTTP::Post class is used and there's an extra step to set the form data. Once you get the hang of it though, you'll have your tweeps up to date in no time.
Following your friends is just as easy as tweeting in Ruby. How do you tell if a status update is new or not? Should we save each one and compare them? That's neither efficient, nor also very nice to Twitter. Why request all the status updates, when what we really mean is all the status updates since our last request? When requesting data, you should save Twitter's bandwidth by requesting only the data you need.
Even though interfacing with Twitter yourself is quite easy, there are several gems that make it even easier. John Nunemaker has wrapped all the Twitter goodness of Ruby into a RubyGem. Using this gem, making API requests to Twitter is even easier than using the twitter method. Perhaps more importantly, the Twitter gem also parses the output for you, and gives you a very easy interface to the data. The twitter gem is absolutely dead simple to use, you'll be interfacing with Twitter in no time!

Hilary Swank Not Talking Marriage with Boyfriend – Yet
Originally posted 11/04/2009 03:40PM
There's no doubting that Hilary Swank is a daring actress – she learned how to fly to play aviatrix Amelia Earhart for the biopic Amelia, after all. But when it comes to taking the plunge into a second marriage, she's more cautious.
"It's not something we're talking about," she tells Oprah Winfrey on her show Wednesday when asked about her future plans with her boyfriend of three years John Campisi. "I don't know. We'll see."
But Swank, who divorced Chad Lowe in 2006, is still a daredevil when it comes to other aspects of their relationship.
"I went to pick up my boyfriend from a meeting in Vegas," Swank, 35, says of learning to fly a plane. "I canceled his flight and showed up, and he saw the plane and he said, 'I have to get in there?' I said, 'We flew all this way, you better get in.' And then he white-knuckled it the whole way."

FIRST LOOK: Poster for Hilary Swank's Amelia

Hilary Swank stars as one of aviation's most beloved and inspiring figures, Amelia Earhart, in Amelia – and People.com has a first look at the highly-anticipated film's official poster.
Swank is dramatically posed in front of a plane with only the wings and propellers visible beyond her profile. The film follows Earhart's journey from unknown amateur aviator to America's sweetheart and finally to her world-renowned mission around the world and disappearance in 1937.
Also starring in film: Richard Gere, who plays Earhart's husband, George P. Putnam, and Ewan McGregor, who is Earhart's friend and lover, Gene Vidal.
Amelia, directed by Mira Nair, hits theaters Oct. 23.

The horned animal may represent a male power figure in your life, or, if the horn is nonsensical, it may be a displacement of another person's power (or your perception of unearned power that is being wielded by another). The goal is to discern your feelings about the animal and whether you see any relationship between the animal and individuals in your waking life.
If the horned animal is a nonsense creation, such as a horned dog, it may indicate sexual tension in a relationship. Do you feel as though someone close to you has mixed motives for being in a relationship with you? Another scenario is feeling threatened by another's power to impale you.
You may sense this as being a sort of sexual-penetration anxiety, but the general indication of power and intimidation is more satisfactory.

I hope the fine folks at Lamborghini don't mind that I pilfered their awesome promotional video and matched it up with one of my songs. I like the pairing of the driving rhythms of the song and the fantastic footage of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560 – 4. After all the purpose of the promotional video is to promote the product to the widest audience possible. I am just helping them do that. :) So as an added bonus if you buy the Lambo mention my name and I'll throw in a free "The Lofty Oaks" CD. Or if you buy a copy of "The Lofty Oaks" CD I'll throw in a free Gallardo LP 560-4. (Price of CD is $250,000 US) Now there is a promotion you can't refuse. Please enjoy the thrilling ride and the song too. Comment below.
