y'know....that is funny. bout a month ago i was checking out ranges i have never been to before (most are closed m-w around me, and i wanted to shoot m-w ).
found one open and they specified NO FMJ rifle rounds???? i have to call to verify...and it was correct. they will never see $1 from me....who the hell wants to break the bank shooting hollow/soft points?
My club's indoor range is lead only, no jacketed bullets, pistol calibers only. Outdoor range - they separate pistol vs rifle range and no ammo prohibitions except for .50 cal rifles. (BP is OK)
Bi-metal is a soft steel core which causes heavy damage to the backstops. There is no problem with lead core fmj at the local indoor range and they do check all ammo with a magnet. They still have problems with idiots smuggling in some green tip or steel core. If they catch you will be banned and they will access the damage and you will be paying for it. It can amount to thousands of dollars and that is just to the range. I do not blame them for this I blame the jerks that ruin things for the rest of us that follow the rules. Think about the liability involved. If you blow through their armor you run the risk of shooting someone. The indoor ranges are in town and there are buildings, roads and people. The range operator has a very large investment as it is not cheap to build an indoor range. It is not just armor. The range has to be hazmat approved. There is a ventilation system that has to keep lead away from the shooters. The insurance is atrocious. As far as shotguns go, they can take out the target trolleys. You would have to ask if they will allow slugs.
I can not believe how stupid and inconsiderate some shooters are. Even at our local outdoor range we get damage. We provide target stands and they are constantly being shot up. What is so hard about putting the target in the center of the cardboard. We get idiots that hang a bunch of targets on one stand or put spent shells on top of the frame. They attach targets to the frame and destroy them. I used to build target stands for the range and they were getting shot up faster than I could build them. I finally got fed up and stopped. Then there are the slobs that go out in the boonies and cant haul out their mess. We cleaned up tons of debris and trash mostly from shooters so the BLM would not shut the area down. I could keep ranting for a while but wake up. You wonder why people dont like shooters? It seems a lot of them are inconsiderate slobs, that is why.

I was taught to respect my elders but they are getting harder to find.
The issue is that a lot of Military Surplus ammunition has a steel core that will simply devastate a multi thousand dollar backstop. As well as with the shotgun they are dealing with an increase in lead contamination which also can overload the filtration system. Not to mention with slugs and buckshot simply tear up backstop material. So I do not blame them for having rules regarding their range. There are hundreds of shooting ranges around the country that have the same rule for fear someone would bring FMJs with steel cores and tear up their equipment. Price out a range and the materials to operate it and it shouldn't take long to understand their position. And as stated, one needs to call before they go to any range and check the rules, weapons and ammunition that can be used on them. In addition EPA likes nothing better than to shut down a range since they are in Obummers Camp! If you do not believe it look what they have done and are still trying to do to the coal industry! Totally Annihilate it!

Never understood the thrill of shooting centerfire rifles on 25 yard indoor ranges.
Must make panties moist.
One of the outdoor ranges in my area (a BIG one) had an incident a few years back with a rather large brush fire in the evening after hours. They claimed that the local fire department said that it was most likely started by a steel core or AP round striking a rock and causing a spark, which smouldered for hours in the dry grass near the berm.
Suddenly ALL the ranges started banning all steel jacketed/core and AP ammo.
If you are going to shoot SP ammo in your SKS try some winchester or prvi partisan ammo. At 50 yards my sks is just as accurate as my model 60 marlin using quality sp ammo.
Bi-metal jackets spark on the backstop. Most indoor ranges prohibit them.

The Space
Big apartment on a historical building, design by one of the most famous Brazilian architects, João Artacho. At the top of the building you will have a unique marvelous view of the town, that you can enjoy by the pool.
Privileged location: you can walk to many of the most important touristic points, restaurants, pubs and clubs of São Paulo. This is the place to be if you want to see a lot of the city in a short period of time. We are near by two malls, theaters, parks, public library. On the weekends people go to a park nearby to sell homemade food, clothes and accessories and play music.
You can have all the public transportation you want. We are two blocks away from the subway (yellow and red lines), buses that go all around the city pass nearby and there is a cab point just outside the building.
If you need to get to USP University, this is the right place for you! After a 15 minutes metro ride you will be at a walking distance.
I share this three bedrooms apartment with one more person and we know the town very well. I write a blog about things to do on São Paulo and will be glad to help you out on whatever you need.
Because this is a building from the 50´s, the apartment is big and we have a lot of space. There are huge windows with a great view to other historical buildings and to the small park just in front of us. We just hanged a net in front of the window to better enjoy it. :)
At the weekends there are two restaurants on the park in front of the building that play live Samba music. Locals go there to eat, dance and have fun.
I am sure you will like it.
Smoke: only at the living room window.
Dishes: you can cook, but you must never leave dirt dishes at the sink/ oven.
If you break anything, you must pay for it.
You cannot bring friends over.
All yours belongs must stay in your bedroom.
No loud noise after 10pm on work nights.
Please bring a copy of your passport.
Ana is a beautiful person - inside and out! She was a kind and caring hostess and helped me organise myself and feel more confident to move around Sao Paulo. Ana made me very welcome in the flat and I instantly felt at home.
Ana came with me to the subway to help me buy a travel card and use the trains - this was a great help because my Brazilian Portuguese is practically non-existent! Ana also helped me to purchase a local SIM card for my phone and sort out a problem I had with a booking for a forthcoming plane trip - she was always willing to help if needed. Because I was travelling alone, this really made all the difference to my trip.
The apartment is downtown Sao Paulo, so it's right in the Centre of this busy City.The location of the apartment is good for moving around as it is close to a subway station but you an also walk, get buses or hire taxis from directly outside the apartment entrance. There is also an airport transfer service nearby, close to the Republica subway station.
Ana knows the City really well and is very sociable, so she can give you ideas of where to go and it's likely she'll take you out and introduce you to her friends too! We had an awesome night watching a local band while I was there!
If you need to be in the Centre of Sao Paulo, this is a great spot!
Let me start by saying that Ana is a very special person. Over the course of the week that I spent in her well located apartment, I had the opportunity to get to know the warm, inclusive and good-natured woman that she is. That she is a travel/city blogger in Sao Paulo is an extra benefit for those new to town - She is a wealth of information on the city.

Oi, eu sou a Ana, moro em São Paulo, adoro viajar, conhecer e receber pessoas e aprender sobre novas culturas!

Standby generators
We are looking to replace a Gillette Sentry Pro 12 generator. Most of the information on Generators is old On the forum. Can anyone help in comparing about 14 K Kohler vs Generac generators now? TIA.
I probably don't understand enough about the working of generators to understand the differences but I did see Generac is a 3 y warranty and the Kohler is 5 years. Our Sentry pro is only 6 years old and the stator is dead. The honda engine in it still runs but doesn't produce electricity. The cost to repair is about $3000 so it seems like replacing is a better option. The wiring and propane plumbing was all done in 2008 when we bought and moved it.
ionized , interesting you say poor power quality can cause failure. I actually saw it happen. Apparently the power went on and off 2-3 times, last time staying off. Our generator went on, within a minute I saw a light go out but heard the generator. Thought we blew a bulb. No, apparently stator died, though the generator continued running it was not powering enough to give electricity.
Thank you. We are leaning toward the Kohler because of the longer warranty. Do want to check one thing I read on a thread - If not installed & start up by a Kohler rep you void the warranty. We have someone that said once it is here he will look it over and if it is an easy switch from ours he could do it. If not there is a Kohler supplier a couple towns away.
Not true about the warranty.
I installed one last fall, but it had problems this summer. The warranty department dealt with the customer and then me in a very helpful manner.
Nothing was questioned about the install. As long as it is done correctly and documented properly.
I expect that soon there will be a lot more inverter gensets. I suspect that change is somewhat fueled by the development of inverters for renewable power production. A lot of the technology should be transferable. Right now there is still a lot more economy of scale in favor of the traditional types but with any kind of luck, we will reach the tipping point for inverters soon.
There are a lot of advantages including greater fuel efficiency, lower noise, longer engine life, lower weight, the ability to increase capacity in a modular manner with syncing inverters, and cleaner power. We are already seeing the inverters move to more manufacturers and up in size.
A quick, tough not neccesarily always good, measure of quality of a generator is to look at the weight. The more the thing weighs the better. Why?
Many things make a generator good, but in essence more copper wiring, or thicker copper wiring means less resistance and stronger magenetic fields. Also more weight means more inertia, especially rotational inertia to help when large motors kick in.
I would therefore simply look at the specifications and look in the weight of the generator. The heavier ones will in general be the better quality products, and also the more expensive.
Also water cooled car based engines are better than air cooled lawn mower based engine based gensets. RPM wise look for ones that spin at 1,800 rpm vs 3,600 rpm. Not there is a big jump in price between water cooled and air cooled. The cost difference of approx 2x comes mostly in instalation costs. Air cooled means light. Does not need a concrete pad, and does not need heavy lift e.g. crane to install.
Good brands for top end are Kohler and Cummings Onan but they are expensive.
Best, Mike.
Inverter gensets are nice. The best one I know is the Honda EU6500iS. This is a petrol unit and costs $US 4,500 approx. It is however only 6.5 kw power output. The reason for inverter is that the generator can run at the optimum speed and the electronics guarantee a 60 Hz output.
The down side of this is that the power electronics, mainly because of cost, are limited to the smaller power outputs.
I think the original poster was looking for something in the 12KW to 15Kw power range. I do not know of an inverter generator in that sort of power range.
Best, Mike.

Like most of the "XXX for Stanton threads" I dislike everything about this deal for both sides.
Like most of the "XXX for Stanton threads" I dislike everything about this deal for both sides.
The FO seems to have adopted a pitching first policy. I for one am happy about it. In my opinion cost-controlled solid pitching is much more valuable than cost-controlled bats (even superb bats like Stanton's). One reason for this is that multi-year contracts for pitchers carry so much more risk. I would not trade away any solid pitching prospects unless I could get an absolute steal.

A lot has changed in the last two weeks which makes this a lot more relevant and worth discussing anew. Obviously the other 100 viewers seem to agree with that sentiment.

Go BLUE!!!
It's the fact that every two weeks there's yet another thread titled "Trade proposal to Marlins," "Trade proposal for Stanton," "Trade target: Stanton," "Yet another trade idea to Marlins for Stanton," etc. and they all revolve around the idea of Chapman + Hamilton + (prospect, generally Cingrani, sometimes Leake) to the Marlins for Stanton and use the non-starter of Chapman being Cuban and Miami having a Cuban population as evidence that it would be a good proposal for both sides.
There are basically two threads going on simultaneously about Bruce's struggles at the plate, and one has 47 replies since last night. I would argue that the Bruce struggling threads are redundant as well. I had to step in and redirect people after opening day because of no less than four threads simultaneously going on about Dusty Baker's issues as a manager. Volume of replies doesn't necessarily correlate directly with a topic not being redundant.
And very little has changed in the last two weeks concerning whether or not the Marlins would accept or even consider the exact same trade offer that they could have been offered by any of the members of RedsZone. None of the players have changed.
Please, discuss away. I just hope that we can limit it to one thread. Bumping one of the several threads about a Stanton trade idea that are already on later pages of the ORG would help organize the discussion rather than having a whole bunch of 3-5 page threads about the same topic.
Aren't we most concerned with PEDs with an aging player who finally finds some power, not with some young phenom who has always slugged like crazy? There are exceptions to every rule, but I have never heard Stanton tied to PEDs.
And I'll strongly disagree that not much has changed in two weeks. We lost our starting LF and cleanup hitter for at least half the season (the actual position and spot in the order that Stanton would occupy), the Reds have declared their plans NOT to move Choo to a corner spot as a result, several poster's interest in extending Choo, and Cingrani just threw a no-hitter in his season debut and is suddenly (for the first time) garnering national mainstream attention.
Oh yeah, and Chapman was moved out of the rotation and to the bullpen, which is a topic you might have heard something about.
I'd say the paradigm has shifted quite considerably in the last two weeks.

This idea, which has been discussed hundreds of times in the past year, is no more likely today than it was 3 months ago.
In my opinion, the thread title "the idea that won't die" is misleading. The idea was never alive to begin with. The Marlins have shown no inclination to trading Stanton. But new threads are started on it seemingly every other week.

I don't remember if this is an issue with episode 1, but i've been playing episode 2 and clicking on a response will randomly minize the game and take me to the desktop. It's like the equivalent of hitting the windows key. It's super annoying. I also have pretty bad performance issues and just tried turning off shadows as I have ati cards. It seems to have helped a little. Any advice or tips?

Range hood depth problem
OK, so I have a 30" Broan B30 range hood purchased at Lowes. My range is a 30" Bosch Evolution 700 series. On reviewing plans with the cabinetmaker, we've got a problem -- I'd planned on 16" deep uppers but the hood is made for 12" deep cabinets. I've looked around Google and the archives some and understand that a metal extender can be added to "bump out" the hood. Has anyone done this? How big a deal is it? Are there any other options for making it work? Picking another hood is an option but I really like the look of the B30 with my overall style (modern/European). Any advice is welcome ... thanks!
I had the exact same problem this weekend which was install day. I just built out the hood the extra few inches to match up with the larger uppers. I think it looks fine and my wife didn't even notice and I don't think she ever will. I covered the hole at the back with a piece of Stainless steel.

Rondo 'sore and stiff' but OK to play
LOS ANGELES -- Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo said he won't be 100 percent healthy by Thursday's Game 1 of the NBA Finals, but he'll be close enough.
"I'm about 67 percent today," Rondo joked, before the Celtics practiced at UCLA's Pauley Pavilion. "I won't be 100 percent by Thursday, but I'll be like 94.7.
"Right now, nobody in the Finals is 100 percent. If you find someone let me know who is, let me know," he said. "You can ask the Lakers too. One of our rookies might be 100 percent."
Rondo suffered muscle spasms in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals, then fell hard on his back in Game 6. He was limited in practice Monday, but participated fully in Tuesday's practice despite being a little stiff and sore from the long, cross-country flight Monday evening.
"It was a long flight so I'm sore and stiff, but it's nothing to worry about," Rondo said.
The Celtics injury list swelled during the Eastern Conference Finals as Glen Davis and Marquis Daniels went down with concussions and Rasheed Wallace suffered back spasms.
Wallace and Davis fully participated in Tuesday's practice, according to a team spokesman, while Daniels was only able to do some light shooting on the side. Daniels' injury is considered more severe, the spokesman said, because he's still experiencing symptoms such as tingling in his fingers.
"I'm feeling good," said Davis. "I got a lot of rest so I'll be ready to play. I didn't really stop with the headaches until like a day or so ago, but I'm fine."

Should You Get a Rapid Refund?
If you sit down with your tax preparer this year, you might find out you have a refund coming your way in a couple of weeks, which is a nice surprise. You'll get a check or direct deposit for the amount you overpaid in taxes.
The next question from the tax preparer might be, "Do you want that refund now instead of later?"
This is a tempting proposition. But before you say yes, let us clue you into what this really means.
How Does It Work?
Tax preparers often offer what they call "instant" refunds or "rapid" refunds. That is when they give you the equivalent of your refund now, instead of having you wait for a check from the government in ten days.
But "rapid refund" isn't really an accurate name. In reality, they are working with a bank that offers you a short-term loan in anticipation of your getting a tax refund. In order to secure this refund/loan, you'll need to fill out some extra paperwork, including the loan application and a form releasing your refund to the people who make the loan. When the tax refund arrives, it goes straight to the lender to pay back what you owe.
Steep, Possibly Predatory Fees
Last year, the National Consumer Law Center estimated that the typical price for a typical refund anticipation loan (RAL) of $1,500 was a total of $61.22. This translates into an astonishingly high APR (annualized percentage rate, or what you would pay over a whole year for a loan) of 149%. And we thought a 25% credit card APR was high!
In fact, the fees and interest on these loans are high enough to be considered predatory by consumer advocates. And with such high fees at stake, the National Consumer Law Center cautions that some preparers might try to inflate your refund to make borrowing against it seem more appealing. Fortunately, RALs might be on their way out, because of a concerted effort by several government agencies, including the IRS, to make it extremely hard for the lenders to make these loans legally. But until then, it's good to know the facts.
Paying to Borrow Your Own Money
Something else to keep in mind is that your refund is not a special bonus; it's your own money you're getting back.
When you pay taxes to the government through your withholding, you are estimating how much you will owe in April. If you get a refund, that is the government giving you back the money you basically lent to Uncle Sam. So you are paying steep fees to borrow your own money for a couple of weeks—after lending it to Uncle Sam for free for several months. That's not the best way to manage your money.
Just a Few More Days
Finally, it generally doesn't take that long for a refund check to arrive. Most people get their check in a few weeks. File your returns electronically and ask the IRS to deposit your refund directly into your bank account (there's a place on the forms for your account number) and you'll get it even faster.

I don't believe you can get the V6 in the higher trim models like the Laramie or Longhorn.... I think it's just SLT and lower models. That's something you might want to look into.
As far as issues go there's not much to comment on the 2014 Ram's as they are just starting to hit dealer lots and customers. Not too many people have posted reviews yet. From what I've read no one is having problems though.
The main thing to look out for is the gear ratio... last year quite a few people were getting their trucks delivered with the wrong gears because of a material shortage. The only other issue I can think of with the newer Ram's is the 8.4an radio.... again a few people have had issues with those but it seems to pretty much be resolved by now. Other than that they are great trucks! You won't be disappointed.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Stadium on schedule: Buchko
But after last year, Bombers' CEO making no promises
While no one's popping champagne corks for a stadium completed a year behind schedule, Investors Group Field is entering what the Winnipeg Football Club describes as the final stage of construction.
The $200-million, 33,500-seat stadium on the University of Manitoba's Fort Garry campus will unofficially open Sunday, May 26, when about 15,000 members of various Winnipeg church congregations have been invited to take part in an outdoor service that will function as a soft launch for the new sports facility.
The first paid event scheduled at the stadium is the Saturday, June 22 Taylor Swift concert. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are expected to open their home schedule on Thursday, June 27, according to a draft of the Canadian Football League's 2013 schedule.
Winnipeg Football Club president and CEO Garth Buchko said he has been given "every assurance" that general contractor Stuart Olson Dominion will have the stadium ready in time for those events.
"I learned a lesson last year about committing to dates," said Buchko, who came under fire for the delay in building the stadium, which he originally promised would be completed by last June.
That opening date was pushed back first to late July, then early September and eventually to this year as the project was hampered by construction problems that are now the subject of litigation between Stuart Olson Dominion and structural-steel subcontractor Structal. The football club also blamed some of the delay on high winds during the winter of 2011-2012.
This year, the Winnipeg Football Club's staff has moved into new offices at Investors Group Field and can watch the construction proceed first-hand, Buchko said. "We get to see the changes on a daily basis," he said.
Currently, those changes include the installation of the final 13,500 seats, a job that began earlier this week.
The west-side luxury boxes are built, furniture is moving into the east-side suites and the new Bomber Store is being stocked in preparation for an opening some time this month, Buchko said.
The Bombers president said he's not aware of any construction problems that would jeopardize what remains of the stadium's construction schedule. There is no basis to rumours about serious issues affecting the venue, he said.
"Stuart Olson Dominion has told me the plan is on track," he said. BBB Stadium chairman Phil Sheegl, who oversees the non-profit organization that owns the facility, said he too has been assured construction is going according to plan.
Buchko disputed a report that the Winnipeg Football Club is no longer vying to host the 2014 Grey Cup.
"The Grey Cup hasn't even been announced for 2014. There's no indication that we won't have it," he said.
The Bombers' business plan calls for revenue from special events such as the Grey Cup to help them repay an $85-million provincial construction loan. On Wednesday, city council approved a plan to allow the club to pay back a separate $10-million loan that covered additional concessions, TVs and ribbon boards before the club tackles the provincial loan.
One of the next steps for the Bombers, the U of M and the city is to complete an event-day plan that will co-ordinate Winnipeg Transit schedules, the direction of motor-vehicle traffic and parking. Details of that plan will be announced this spring, city spokesman Steve West said.
To minimize conflict with university students and staff, most or all Bombers home games in the fall will be held on weekends. Weekday games will continue to be reserved for the summer, when the university is less busy and many Winnipeggers prefer to leave the city on weekends.
The club intends to announce season-ticket numbers within weeks, Buchko said. In the meantime, he invited Winnipeggers to visit the stadium to see the construction progress first-hand.
"If you haven't driven by Investors Group Field, come by and take a look," he said, switching into salesman mode. "Come sit in our new lobby and (buy) season's tickets."

Workplace Dispute Resolution: Directions for the 21st Century
Dispute management in the U. S. currently accepts workplace conflicts as a necessary part of organizational life. Having an effective dispute management system means providing the methods to resolve a dispute that matches the type and stage to which it has progressed while also serving the needs of those who use the system. Contributors to this collection provide a variety of viewpoints, including international perspectives, that help explain why employers who are committed to effective dispute management will use a combination of preventive and remedial dispute resolution mechanisms to address conflicts based primarily on interests, rights, or power.
Several essays also investigate how the interpersonal nature of a relationship between people determines the method selected to handle disputes, the impact of the "lens of gender" on our thinking about negotiation as a social activity for problem solving, and the tension between self-interest and fairness in negotiation and the use of justifications and impression management to resolve this tension.

The ECB continues to work with Sport England on the pioneering club accreditation scheme 'Clubmark' to develop a vibrant and healthy club cricket infrastructure.
Cricket clubs can play a key role in the successful delivery of Building Partnerships – cricket's strategic plan for 2006-2009 - by supporting the delivery and implementation of the following programmes:
The ECB Clubmark and community cricket clubs play a central role in all of these programmes and Clubmark will provide the standards that clubs involved in these programmes will aspire to.
In addition, it is expected that clubs who achieve the ECB Clubmark will be recognised and rewarded for their hard work and commitment to club cricket in England and Wales.
By registering to work towards ECB Clubmark, clubs join a growing number of cricket clubs across England and Wales that are prioritising junior development, creating a benchmark for high quality community club cricket.
County Cricket Development Managers can help clubs through the process of achieving ECB Clubmark Accreditation.
ECB Clubmark gives clubs an opportunity to write and implement new procedures as well as acknowledge existing practices. Cricket clubs are required to present evidence and demonstrate implementation across four different themes, culminating in the production of a Club Development Plan.
The four themes are:

Short earns 1 of 5 cards for Champions Tour
Saturday - 11/23/2013, 4:29pm EST
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- Wes Short Jr. earned one of five Champions Tour cards for next season in his first attempt at the 50-and-older circuit.
Short turns 50 on Dec. 4. He closed with 68 to tie the Champions Tour Q-school record at 20-under 264. He earned $30,000 for his five-shot victory over Mike Reid and Jim Rutledge of Canada. Rutledge started the final round outside the top 12 and closed with a 65 in rainy conditions at the TPC Scottsdale to earn his card.
The final two spots were decided in a playoff Saturday morning because of the rain.
Scott Dunlap and Jeff Hart each made par on the first playoff hole to get full exempt status for 2014 season.

A look at recent releases on Netflix and Blu-ray, including "Life Itself," "Annie," "Into the Woods," "The Lady From Shanghai," and more.
"Africa Addio" is a brutal, dishonest, racist film. It slanders a continent and at the same time diminishes the human spirit. And it does so to entertain us.
It claims to be a documentary of what has happened in Africa since colonialism ended. It shows us sadism and tells us we must not fear to see the truth -- but the sadism itself has been staged for the cameras. It weeps for the slaughtered wild game of Africa -- but who weeps for the game tortured before the cameras, and before our eyes?
The film begins with a scene familiar from a dozen newsreels: A British colonial governor boards a launch and is taken to an offshore ship. The Union Jack comes down, and a new flag is flown. Another colony is independent.
But independence has come too soon, the narrator tells us. Africans are not ready for self-government. "Europe has abandoned her baby," the narrator mourns, "just when it needs her the most." Who has taken over, now that the colonialists have left? The advertising spells it out for us: "Raw, wild, brutal, modern-day savages!"
I could hardly believe my ears. During a year in South Africa I only rarely heard such language, and then usually in bars. Yet here it was being presented as gospel truth in a supposedly reputable documentary.
One would not, of course, object to a dispassionate study of Africa's setbacks since independence. But one would expect an examination of its progress, as well. No hint of anything but disaster, however, is given in this film by the makers of "Mondo Cane." As in their earlier "documentaries," Jacopetti and Prosperi have combined a saccharine sound track, arty photography and an authoritative-sounding narration to lend respectability to a film offering perversion and brutality as its fare.
If "Africa Addio" is to be believed, Africans have engaged in an orgy of bloodletting and pillage since the Europeans left. Some of the footage, notably aerial shots of the Arab massacre in Zanzibar, is doubtless truthful. But interior evidence in the film itself suggests that many of the scenes are phony.
One dubious scene shows white Boers purportedly leaving Kenya in cattle-drawn wagons for the long trek back to the Cape. "A freedom march in reverse," the narrator explains. "These Boers settled Kenya generations ago, but have been driven from their own country."
In fact, cattle-drawn wagons are no longer in general use in Africa, as Jacopetti and Prosperi undoubtedly knew. Real Boers (there are a few among the mostly British white population in Kenya) would probably call up a moving van for their furniture and then fly down to the Cape.
Other scenes are equally preposterous. We are told that Africans, lacking modern weapons, surround an area the size of Rhode Island, 10,000 strong, and close in on the trapped game, Ha! We are told that the Zambesi River was plundered of thousands of hippos in 1963, to provide cheap food. In fact, the Zambesi was in white hands in 1963, and essentially still is. Nor does Rhodesia or Zambia consume a lot of hippo meat. None, in fact.
Another suspicious scene shows "poachers" torturing an elephant to death. The early footage is shot at ground level. After we have seen enough suffering, the camera goes aloft and we are told it's in a helicopter flown by game wardens. In fact, it's the same helicopter used throughout the film. Was the scene staged, or did real poachers conveniently agree to star? It seems pretty clear that the elephant died for our entertainment. Later, we learn that it was pregnant.
There are scenes even more odious, of executions, decomposed bodies, burning flesh, suffering and death. If only they were honestly presented, set in context, perhaps they could be justified. But they are not. Instead, they are staged for our amusement, cloaked in the respectability of an "impartial" documentary, and in the end that is the most disgusting thing about this wretched film.
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...

KY Highway Officials Issue Thanksgiving Seatbelt Warning
Kentucky Transportation Secretary Mike Hancock says the long Thanksgiving weekend is among the year's busiest times for travel.
Hancock says as the number of cars on the road goes up, the chance of being involved in a serious wreck does likewise.
The Office of Highway Safety is reminding travelers to wear a seat belt every time they're in a car. The agency says, seven people were killed Thanksgiving weekend last year, including four who weren't wearing seat belts.
Highway Safety Director Bill Bell says there are too many deaths that could have been prevented with a seat belt. He says that seems to indicate people aren't taking the state's seat belt law seriously.

Now on day three I'm up to almost ten! What could they be?My glands are a little bit swollen, but no sore throat. Haven't switched detergents, bought a new neckalace, tried a new food- any of those things... Should I be worried?

The attack set off nationwide protests about India's treatment of women and spurred the government to hurry through a package of laws to protect them.
Singh's death comes as the trial was deep underway, with another hearing scheduled for Monday. The four surviving defendants were produced in court, but left after a short time because of an attorney's strike.
Vivek Sharma, a lawyer representing another defendant, said he planned to ask the court to provide greater protection for his client.
"In a high-security jail, an occurrence of this kind is highly condemnable. It raises the serious issue of security of the accused persons in the jail," he said.
"My clients don't feel safe in Tihar jail," said another defense lawyer, A.P. Singh.
K.T.S. Tulsi, a former top lawyer in the office of the solicitor general of India, said the suicide should have no impact on the trial, which is being held in a closed courtroom under a gag order that prevents news organizations from publishing details of the proceedings.
He said the death highlighted how important it is for society not to demonize people who have been accused but not convicted of crimes.
"It is so unfortunate that the media goes on to presume that they are guilty and goes on to condemn them and demonize them to an extent that it makes the life of these people not worth living," he said.
In 2011, 68 inmates in India killed themselves and another eight were killed by fellow inmates, according to India's National Crime Records Bureau.
Tihar Jail is badly overcrowded with nearly twice as many prisoners as it was designed to hold. Jail authorities have been working to soften its reputation in part by selling TJ's cookies baked by the inmates to the public.

Very clean hotelPosted Mar 11, 2015
Drury Inn was awesome! Extremely clean room. Didn't even smell like a hotel. Staff was very nice and helpful. Checkin and checkout was a breeze. 4 min tops for each.

GREAT for the price!Posted Jan 24, 2015
Pros: Very comfortable bed, easy check-in, friendly staff, roomy suite.
Cons: I was not thrilled with the soap/shampoo/conditioner dispenser in the shower. Just a personal preference to get individual bottles of toiletries.
Location: Everything you would want from your standard American strip mall is right outside the hotel, with a Texas Roadhouse in the hotel parking lot.
I stayed in a King Suite, the price was great and the room was huge! Plenty of space to spread out, and everything you would need inside the room. The staff was very friendly, and the facilities in general were great with a casual upscale feel. One of my favorite perks was the three adult beverages included with the stay, as well as the included light dinner and breakfast. This hotel is only ten minutes or so from downtown, so easy to access everything you would want in downtown C-bus. Oh, and internet (WiFi) is included! For the price, this hotel is a definite winner! I won't even consider staying anywhere else next time I am in Columbus!

Weekend in Columbus wiht the grandkidsPosted Dec 2, 2014 on Hotels.com
We got three rooms for our families to have an overnight in Columbus. We went to COSI which was about a ten minute drive from the hotel It was really nice to be able to go down for the free dinner even though it was hot dogs mac and cheese, it was perfect for the toddlers that we were traveling with. We stayed in the winter and the indoor pool was way too cold to swim because it is one of those pools that is connected to the outside pool. Because of that, we probably will not use this hotel again. The towel were so rough, you could use them to exfoliate your skin. The rooms were clean and in good condition though. Friendly staff. Location is wonderful for restaurants and big box store type shopping.

Great Customer Service!Posted Nov 23, 2014 on Hotels.com
One night business trip. I've never stayed at this location but chose the Drury because of past experiences. Encountered a problem so minor, I won't even mention it, but I will say that the response was over the top. The staff went way above and beyond to accommodate for such a small inconvenience that I was blown away by their level of commitment to the high quality of customer service. Will definitely choose this location again for future travel!

delta pilar faucet owners....
We are building and I've had my heart set on this faucet. After reading reviews on Amazon, I'm wondering how you like or dislike this faucet. How often do you have to replace the batteries and does the water not flow manually if the batteries are dead? One reviewer said in 6 weeks she was on her third set of batteries, and if they are dead, the water will not manually turn on. That seems like a major design flaw if it's true for all the Pilar faucets. Anxious to hear from those who've have this faucet. TIA!!
I have the delta pilar with the touch feature but I have only been using it to 2 weeks. So far, I have not had to replace the batteries or had any problems at all.
When using the faucet the blue light on the bottom comes on and stays on. The instruction booklet says that when the batteries are getting low, a red light will come on. If you do not change the batteries and continue to use the faucet at some point the red light will change to a blinking red light and the faucet will switch to manual mode, which I assume means that the water will still flow.
Like I said, I have only had the faucet for 2 weeks and I do not have any experience of the batteries running low or completely dead but I am just going by what the booklet says.
By the way, I love that faucet!
Another short term happy Pilar owner here! I've only had it for about 3 weeks but LOVE it. Terrific styling, substantial feel, great sprayer with easy docking and Sooooo nice to have the touch feature!
As threebees says, you do get some warning (supposedly) that the batteries are on their way out. You get a warning (flashing light), then eventually another type of warning and after warning type two it goes to manual use only. If you keep using it manually and totally deplete the batteries then it does sound like it will shut down.
From the manual:
Low Battery Indication
Warning Mode - Replace batteries soon.
Rather than the BLUE LED (8), the RED LED will be
illuminated when the water is ON. When the water is
OFF, the RED LED will flash once every 5 seconds.
Alert Mode - Battery Failure Imminent.
The RED LED (8) will flash once a second. The first time
the faucet is used, the RED LED will turn ON, the
solenoid will be opened, and the manual valve must be
used until the batteries are replaced.
Lockdown Mode - Replace Batteries.
Extremely Low Batteries - The RED LED is ON, and
water will not flow until the batteries are replaced.
If you're looking for a hands-free (and battery-free) setup, look into the Tapmaster. It's a foot pedal that makes any faucet truly hands-free. There's also no electricity (battery or otherwise) involved. Many people here have it and love it...some have two or more!
There are also versions that are cabinet door activators.
See the link below.
If you do decide to go with a Tapmaster, search (Google) for it elsewhere b/c it's expensive on the Tapmaster site.
Here is a link that might be useful: Tapmaster®
I just went and tried it. The faucet definitely functions as a regular faucet when there are no batteries, just no touch feature.
Just for some further information, my battery pack is attached with Velcro to the back of the sink cabinet and you can remove the battery pack completely from the wire. It makes it very easy to change the batteries when needed.
I've had my Pilar installed since last October and no battery replacement yet. My DH doesn't really care for it - he may not generate enough static electricity for it to function properly! I really like it and have had no problems - until this week. For some reason it has started turning on and off in short bursts. Haven't tracked the problem down yet. But - from what I understand Delta is really good to work with on warranties so I would still recommend it. Very handy.
Thanks everyone! Cocaty, my husband thinks it's crazy to get this faucet, but he's not the one doing the cooking. As long as it works well, and I don't have to feed it batteries, I think it will be great. Does anyone have a prep sink as well... if so, which faucet did you use?
My Pilar is here waiting to be installed. The FAQ in the instructions says the batteries should last 1 year. But there's quite a few: 4 Cs. We will be putting in recheargeable C batteries (I already have a charger for all types of batteries). With recheargeble I will probably have to re-charge them more than once a year but to me that's fine since I won't have to throw out 4 batteries every year (or purchase new ones!).
I have had my Delta Pilar since last June so almost a year.
I have not replaced any batteries.
It works off of touch and a regular handle.
The only time I have a problem with it is when I am using someone else's kitchen sink and when I touch their faucet it doesn't turn on.
We have the Touch in our dog room. We've been living here for a little over 4 months and have not replaced batteries yet- but I only turn the faucet on and off approx 2-3 times per day. I have the Tapmaster in my kitchen and I like the tapmaster MUCH better than the touch. It just seems to work easier and be 'cleaner' to use (the touch makes a little sound when it turns on that irrationally bugs me). I like that the water is only on when I kick it (unless I kick hard) so there is less effort in turning water on/off/on/off, etc. I'd look into both options if I were you.

Product Reviews
This is the absolute best I have ever tasted. Tender too. Superior flavor. I had the Mild and Hot. Haven't gotten around to the Honey yet. We will be ordering more soon. This even works as a weight watcher type snack. Keeps me from wanting something more. Really is the very best. With or without.................. Beer of course.
I actually found this site while trying to think of a unique Father's Day/Birthday gift for my Dad. He is notoriously difficult to find a gift for. So I decided to order a pack of natural jerky. I mean why not? Free shipping, right? Also, it is pretty well priced for premium jerky on a student budget.The shipping was fast! It took only two business days. Upon opening the envelope, the packing slip had a nice hand written note. I thought that was a nice touch. But let's be honest it's all about the jerky. Besides the customer etiquette, the jerky really was tasty without being overly sweet or tasting too processed. However, I want to say to people who prefer their jerky to be somewhat softer... I couldn't recommend The natural flavor as it can be a bit "chewy." But really, it's just a matter of preference. I really enjoyed this snack and the personal touch with the customer service. I plan on buying a variety combo next week just in time for my Father's special day. Thank you Jerky.com
One of my favorite jerky flavors. Definitely has some

A few weeks ago I received an unusual mail from the committee. With much pride they announced an impressive number of entries. In 2013 the show had 1,619 entries, two years later 2,377 dogs were in competition, amazing!
Last year the hall with the main ring was divided so that the available space was reduced drastically. There was hardly space to move around. It was now decided to bring the main ring to the entry hall and regroup a little. And that was a splendid idea.

How To Harvest Purple Coneflower Seed
Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum but not to seed saving. I've done cosmos and morning glories in the past. This year, my neighbor gave me seeds off of her marigolds and her orange African daisy.
Today, I'm harvesting the seeds off of mom's purple coneflowers. I took a picture of just what came off about four flowers. I have more setting outside at the moment.
Here's a picture:
Should I throw the straw colored parts out? I don't think they're part of the seeds? I'm planning to give these away to friends, family and possibly some trades/surprise gifts.
Brad AKA Moonwolf
No, the straw colored things are the seeds. The dark spiky stuff is what holds the seeds on the head. The link below has a close up shot of the seeds.
Here is a link that might be useful: Echinacea Seeds
I'm finding I have to pop them loose from the seed head with my thumbnail and they are rather a pain to get. Anyone else have this issue with purple coneflower. I have about 6 or so seed heads to deseed and I don't know if I want to go gather more if they are going to be this difficult.
I cut the seed pod (center of the flower) off once petals are gone & lay out on cookie sheet to dry. Then I use small pliers and just pull the seeds off and let dry again on cookie sheet. I store the seeds in qt jar with a little DE powder. Hint: The drier the seeds, the easier they come off!! I do the same with Blackeyed susans, hollyhock, etc. Talk about wonderful gifts and it is amazing how many seeds you can actually harvest!!
