Salty? I'd bet that if a put a funny or disrespecting video of Kobe you would be one of those talking **** in the thread. You're a troll and a hater, I've never seen a positive post about LeBron made by you, and you only make hate threads about LeBron and why Kobe is the GOAT. Why don't you make a thread about Shaq and how HE won three titles as the man in the Lakers and how Kobe ran him out of town? Or in which sexual position was the prostitute that Kobe raped.

Alissa is currently a teacher in the San Francisco Bay Area and Brightstorm users love her clear, concise explanations of tough concepts
We need three pieces of information to write the equation for an ellipse: whether the major axis is vertical or horizontal, the values of "a" and "b," and the coordinates of the center. When looking at a graph, you can find "a" and "b" by counting units from the center of the ellipse to the top and side. If the ellipse is "surfboard" style, meaning its major axis is vertical, then the x^2 term will be above b^2, and if it is "hamburger style," then x^2 will be above a^2. From there, plus in the coordinates of the vertex (h, k), being sure to change the + - signs in the parentheses. An ellipse equation in standard form should always be equal to one.

snd / frank bretschneider - Blir02
Recently unearthed in SND's archive, this collaboration between SND and Frank Bretschneider originally came out in 2000 and has been more or less unavailable since. The 12" comprises 4 tracks of severely reduced electronic sounds and rhythms with a condensed sense of funk which has lost little of it's swing or glide since its original release. In fact, in the intervening ten years a whole genre has attempted to do what happens in these four tracks, but rarely achieved it with as much gait and subtlety as these guys. Eschewing any peaking acrobatics, the duo hit tweakin' syncopations of bleep 'n bass primed for layering with similarly stripped down material by capable DJs: tracks A1 and A2 are like radar bleeps rewired to track the ghosts of Brown and Jackson, while B1 and B2 are a masterclass in rolling micro-house grooves. Recommended to any self respecting minimalist who doesn't already own a copy!

As a follow on to my piece Boomer Roomers a friend asked me to do an executive summary of what such a project would be about. What follows is a lightly-edited version of that summary. If anyone is interested in working with me on this project, just drop me a line. I'll be working on the business plan.
A friend and I have been talking about the problems of aging and long term care. I just turned 60. I am still in great health, still working. I am fortunate
But you know what my biggest problem is right now? Making new friends. Finding people who share my interests and outlook. That's what makes the difference between a long, fulfilling retirement and a short, painful one.
This brings up a story I like to tell. What's the best thing that can happen? What's the worst thing that can happen?
For my parents, the worst thing that could happen is my dad (right) won the lottery. He won $189,000 when he was about 65, about when this picture was taken.
Dad only had friendships at work, at his lock shop, so my brother came in and got to "invest" the money in various schemes aimed at growing the business (about which he knew nothing). The money disappeared. My dad had to close the place. He felt guilty. He had no friends. He lost interest in life. He died shortly after.

Munday on Monday: Heat wave
Heat wave
I answered the question (which left me perplexed)
Eleven times Friday, and twenty the next;
The day after that, why, I truly lost count,
But everyone's asking; the query will mount.
Innocuous question, an innocent sort;
As temperature rises, our tempers grow short.
The answer (before you can even begin)
Is yes! The affirmative! Surely! You win!
So ask not this question, which waits like a trap:
"Is it hot enough for ya?"…I likely will snap!

Detective Fiction: The End of Civilization or its Salvation? -- NEMLA conference, Boston, 21 - 4 Mar., 2013full name / name of organization: Maria Plochocki contact email: firstname.lastname@example.com As a popular genre, detective fiction often refers to or even uses as its foundation social issues, crises, and questions contemporaneous with its production. Recent examples of this, by authors such as Henning Mankell and Stieg Larssen, rely on even more extreme engagement, bringing attention in their plots to the rights and exploitation of political refugees, sex trafficking, and modern warlords. Such a dark turn in an already dark genre may cause one to wonder: is the genre foreshadowing the end of civilization, esp. given that such crimes and injustices occur in supposedly modern, just societies, such as Sweden and are often investigated by overtaxed, exhausted detectives and police systems? cfp categories: african-american american cultural_studies_and_historical_approaches ethnicity_and_national_identity film_and_television gender_studies_and_sexuality interdisciplinary international_conferences popular_culture postcolonial theory twentieth_century_and_beyond

Ship-star wrote (see)
With the marathon on 21st April, that means the 18week plan starts on Monday 17th of December. What's everybody doing until then?
lol Keir
another answer...nothing anaerobic. No speed sessions, no tempos, no hills. Base is ace.
...aw, go on then...
My parkruns recently are stuck in the low 19's despite clocking sub19 previously, I assume this is due to fatigue caused by the extra mileage in my legs. I'm hoping (praying) that this aerobic base building is actually working and it's simply the lack of mini-taper before the 5k races that are to blame. Anyone else noticing similar results with their parkruns while base building?
Carefull with the beer Kier, you need to start those P&D schedules in pretty good shape.
Hows everyones weekend been? I did 13miles this am to start of my week of training. I did 40miles last week so build up going nicely.
15.5M here this morning for a biggest ever week of 49M
Started off fine, then it began to rain, and rain, and rain some more. And then the wind picked up, and got steadily stronger and then it got quite cold. At the finish i was drenched and cold.
On getting through the front door my missus said to me
" you can't tell me you enjoyed running in that"
to which my answer was
" Enjoyed it !? Naa, i bloody LOVED it !!!"
well done kease and mace on the weekly totals.
hi Gaz, hope you're ok
Ship-star - tired legs plus no speedwork would be cause - I wouldn't worry about small changes in 5k pace, building the base will be key
Nothing here - knee still hurts from Frankfurt, so I'm taking a few days off.
20M this morning in the wind and rain. 10M of which was on the VLM route. Did something very stupid and ran through the Blackfriars Tunnel. Should have obeyed the 'No Pedestrians' sign. Pavement was only a few inches wide and buses came hurtling past me. Idiot.
Longest ever training week for me - 61 miles. It may have aggravated the dormant PF injury though...
12 miles in 1 hour 1.52 for me I was going to do a 10 mile race but due to unforseen circumstances so to speak I couldnt go had to run this afternoon instead, but I am sure the LSR was more benefit to me than a hard race anyway...I do all my long runs at 70% max heart rate does anyone else use a HRM for these runs ?
I followed P&D70 for my first marathon in October - did 2:49 and now considering a spring marathon to try for sub 2:45.
Bring it on!
Nice work MXB. Where was the 2.49 ran?
I'm fine ta Tek. Just getting my legs back after a disapointing Chester marathon, I'm back up to 60 miles this week and thinking about whether I can squeeze another (not raced) marathon inbetween now and Manchester marathon at the end of April.
I'm going to give Hadd a go until Febuary and then hit the P&D 70 mile schedule.
I'm at roughly 8:15 for 70%, 8:00 for 75% and, once a week, 7:15 for 85%. Really enjoying the training so far.
Its the type of running I like mate, you can listen to a bit of music and daydream a bit while you're doing it. None of this running round like a lunatic!
I was umming and arring about trying Hadd over the summer then I saw what it did for you at Frankfurt and that was the final clincher!
I did a steady 11.5mile run this evening in 1h32 made a little more interesting by being locked inside Finsbury Park by the local council parks lockup person meaning I had to climb through a gap in the fence to get out
@Teknik - I've been doing intervals on a Tuesday so I've been doing a little speedwork too just out of enjoyment.

Religious Demography3
The country has an area of 77,181 square miles, and a population of 5.2 million. Data from a 2007 National Statistics Committee report indicated the following ethnic breakdown: Kyrgyz, 67 percent; Uzbeks, 14.2 percent; Russians, 10.3 percent; Dungans (ethnic Chinese Muslims), 1.1 percent; Uighurs (ethnic Turkic Muslims), 1 percent; and other ethnicities, 6 percent.
Islam is the most widely held faith. Official sources estimated that 80 percent of the population is Muslim. Almost all the Muslims are Sunni; there are approximately one thousand Shi'a. According to SARA, as of May 2007 there were 1,650 mosques, of which 1,623 were registered. There also were seven institutes for higher Islamic teaching. According to recent official estimates, 11 percent of the population is Russian Orthodox, although some experts believe the figure could be as low as 8 percent. The country has 44 Russian Orthodox churches, 1 Russian Orthodox monastery for women, and 1 parochial school, as well as 2 Russian Old Believer churches.
Other religious groups account for a smaller percentage of the population. The Protestant Church of Jesus Christ is the largest group, with an estimated 11,000 members, of whom approximately 40 percent are ethnic Kyrgyz. The overall Protestant population includes 48 registered Baptist churches, 21 Lutheran, 49 Pentecostal, 35 Presbyterian, and 43 "Charismatic," as well as 49 Jehovah's Witnesses and 30 Seventh-day Adventist communities. There are three Roman Catholic churches, and the small Jewish community has one synagogue and organizes internal cultural studies and humanitarian services, chiefly food assistance for the elderly and persons with disabilities regardless of faith. One Buddhist temple serves the small Buddhist community. There are 12 registered Baha'i houses of worship. During the reporting period, SARA approved the registration of an additional 2 religious institutions and 19 religious organizations, both Islamic and Christian.
Islam is practiced widely throughout the country in both urban and rural areas. Russian Orthodoxy typically is concentrated in cities with a larger ethnic Russian population. Other religious groups more commonly practice in the cities where their smaller communities tend to be concentrated. There is a correlation between ethnicity and religion; ethnic Kyrgyz are primarily Muslims, while ethnic Russians usually belong to either the Russian Orthodox Church or one of the Protestant denominations. However, some Christian pastors noted a growing number of ethnic Kyrgyz converts to Christianity. While there are no data available on active participation in formal religious services, a significant number of Muslims and Russian Orthodox adherents appear to be nominal believers and do not practice their faith actively. Religious practice in the south is more traditional and devout than in other regions.
Note: The World Christian Database (WCD) estimates, used in the Religious Adherents section above, count each person as belonging to a maximum of one religious group. For more information, see the WCD methodology document. The U.S. State Department's International Religious Freedom report estimates, used in the Religious Demography section, use less restrictive criteria in which a person who identifies with more than one religion is classified as a follower of each. In certain cases (such as Japan and other nations with strong folk religion traditions), this can cause counts to vary widely between estimates. Users are advised to consult the relevant source documents before determining which counts to cite.
1. The World Christian Database (WCD) is based on the 2600-page award-winning World Christian Encyclopedia and World Christian Trends, first published in 1982 and revised in 2001. This extensive work on World religion is now completely updated and integrated into the WCD online database. Designed for both the casual user and research scholar, information is readily available on religious activities, growth rates, religious literature, worker activity, and demographic statistics. Additional secular data is incorporated on population, health, education, and communications. A dataset with these and the other international measures highlighted on the country pages can be downloaded from this website. Used with permission.
2. Estimates for the country were taken from the United States Department of
State's Report on
International Religious Freedom. "The International Religious Freedom report is submitted to Congress annually by the Department of State in compliance with Section 102(b) of the International Religious Freedom Act (IRFA) of 1998." The report profiles issues of religious adherence and freedom for each nation in the world. The information for each country was derived from a combination of "government and religious officials, nongovernmental organizations, journalists, human rights monitors, religious groups, and academics." Section I of each specific country report contains information on the religious demography of that nation. It is important to note that the estimates are of the proportion of national citizens (excluding resident non-nationals) who identify with specific religious traditions.
3. The U.S. State Department's International Religious Freedom Report is submitted to Congress annually by the Department of State in compliance with Section 102(b) of the International Religious Freedom Act (IRFA) of 1998. This report supplements the most recent Human Rights Reports by providing additional detailed information with respect to matters involving international religious freedom. It includes individual country chapters on the status of religious freedom worldwide. A dataset with these and the other international measures highlighted on the country pages can be downloaded from this website. These State Department reports are open source.

A common landscape plant in the southern United States. They are easy to grow and produce showy flowers.
Leaves are a good food source for some insects and insect feeding can make the plants unattractive.
A typical skipper larva having the constricted "neck" behind the head.
Mature larvae are nearly two inches long. Note the network of tracheae that originate from the spiracles and the characteristic dark triangle on the frontal region of the head capsule.
When a larva is not feeding, it will fold a canna leaf over itself. The folded leaf is secured with silk threads.
After about 10-14 days of feeding, the larva pupates. Notice the silk thread that secures the pupa on a pad of silk inside a folded canna leaf. Also note the characteristic anterior spine (right) and the enclosed proboscis extending beyond the cremaster (left).
After the adult emerges, the empty pupal skin is left behind.

Rs. 4 crores spent on its renovation three years ago
Many organisations make complaints in vain
Air-conditioners not functioning from February
BHUBANESWAR: An ad hoc attitude of the Department of Culture over repair of the air-conditioners at Rabindra Mandap auditorium here has pushed the audience, guests and hosts of various events into painful conditions during the ongoing sizzling summer days.
Even Culture Minister Debi Prasad Mishra, who comes to the auditorium very often to inaugurate different cultural events, has not been spared by his department.
Ironically, Rs.4 crores was spent on renovation of the mandap, the best and the biggest in the capital barely three years ago.
The renovated auditorium was opened for public in March 2008 by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik.
Ever since it was opened, there have been continuous complains from the hosts about poor light, sound and sitting arrangements but to no avail.
The air-conditioners went out of order in February last and the hosts, who used to book the auditorium keep on complaining to the caretaker.
Even the Orissa Natya Sangha, the confederation of theatre organisations of the State, lodged a complaint with the Culture Minister.
Meeting held
The Minister assured it of taking up the matter immediately but he was apparently rendered helpless by his department.
Following bitter criticism in the local media, the department called a meeting on March 20 last to find out the agency responsible for maintenance of the air-conditioners. The meeting was attended by representatives of the IDCO (Industrial Development Corporation of Orissa) that has taken up the renovation and GED (General Electricity Division) besides the department's officials. While IDCO officials argued that GED has to take up the maintenance, the GED is yet to make an estimation of the work, according to sources in the department.
Meanwhile, several cultural organisations have been contemplating suing the department in State Consumers' Redressal Forum for its failure to provide service to the customers.

"Several minutes before the blast, a group of men was walking along the fence. One of them climbed over the fence and hung a bag that obviously had an explosive device inside it on the statue," a police report said.
Police are searching for the perpetrators.

It has most of the features of its bigger, sister models, and is designed for moderately sized homes, condo's and vacation getaways. With eight heat exchange tubes and four thermostat-controlled feed rate settings, it is exceptionally efficient and gives you total heating control. At up to 40,000 peak continuous BTU input, it can heat large areas too. You start a fire with the push of a button; the "Hot Rod" automatic ignitor, a Breckwell innovation, is standard equipment. An ample hopper means no waiting for fuel to run out before reloading. The P22 is easy on the eyes, too, with an optional 24 karat gold or nickel plated door or cowl. If you compare this value-packed model with the competition you will not find another stove with these features in this price range.

I have Liberty 2.0.1 Any Game that I try and play FC's. Well I uninstalled the tool box, reinstalled, I've uninstalled the games and reinstalled (not from TI Backup) I am kind of at a loss, everyone talks about a patch that fixes it but that was released BEFORE I installed Liberty. I also have auto updates checked on and am running the Liberty theme no others installed. Any Help would be great I have combed through the 19 Page thread I think it was above and found no actual answers For instance we are talking about angry birds or words with friends. Thanks Jason
I have never heard of this before. If it continues maybe back up your apps and than sbf back to stock. Then flash liberty again. That's the only help I can give you. Sent from my DROIDX using DroidForums

Started building Erin's console table yesterday. I've settled on a two-tone look (big surprise). The top and legs will be African Mahogany and the table skirt will be hard maple. All parts are cut, did the mortises today, and got the tabletop gluing up. I also tapered the legs (after spending about 2 hours making a tapering jig.
If I hadn't had to go to Mark's last night to use his planer and jointer, I could almost have done the whole job in 1 day. I figure one more day to do the tenons and cut a special detail (and size the top), and a day for assembly and final fitting. Finishing will take a few days.
But I'm off to Waco tomorrow and have a meeting for the movie on friday, so the table will have to wait a few days.

Electric radiator cooling fans use a lot of juice. So carmakers use a fan relay to switch them on and off. If your radiator fan doesn't work, don't automatically assume you've got a bum fan motor. First test the fuse for the radiator fan. If it checks out, test the radiator fan relay.
Here's how. Unplug the electrical connectors to the radiator fans. Then turn your A/C to the MAX position and start the engine. Use a multimeter to check for power at the unplugged fan connectors. If you don't see 12 volts at the connectors, the fan isn't getting power from the relay. The relay is usually located near the bottom of the engine compartment on a metal frame member. The metal acts as a heat sink to keep the relay cool. So, unplug the connector at the relay and repeat the check for power. If you get power, you've got a bum relay. If you aren't getting power at the relay, you've got a more serious wiring or computer problem, and that's a job for a pro. But you can easily replace a bum relay yourself.
Start by removing the old relay and checking for corrosion around the mounting surface. DIYers often just replace the relay without removing the corrosion. That's a prescription for a repeat failure. Instead, sand off all the corrosion until you get to bare metal. Then apply a generous amount of thermal grease to the back of the new relay (see photo, right).
Secure it to the metal frame and let the grease squish out on all sides. The new relay will power up the fans, and the thermal grease will transfer heat to the metal frame and prevent corrosion.

Buying a yacht
You have many questions. This is a good thing, especially considering the boat you are looking at. Roberts seems to sell a lot of plans, some of which get built. No one I''ve ever spoken with has ever mentioned how any of them sail. Many Roberts designs were (are) built by amateurs. Was this one? How good were they at boatbuilding? Did they alter something from the plans? Was it something they did that caused it to sink? What else might they have done that will cause other problems later? Many Roberts boats are also made of steel. How much steel is left? Steel tends to rust continuously, especially in places you can''t see, and especially after getting thoroughly wet on both sides from sinking. Even fiberglass doesn''t enjoy being mistreated this way. If she is ferro-cement (!) are you wearing your track shoes? (You should be RUNNING the other way.) How was she salvaged? Lifting a boat full of water too fast can really do nasty things to it. Why did the hull need fairing? Does it need a new engine? (If so, add about $10k, or more for a hefty one. ) If it needs a new interior buy a copy of Ferenc Maté''s book From a Bare Hull and a copy of Practical Yacht Joinery from Intl Marine Publishers. Do you have twice as much money as you think it will cost to complete the interior? If you are a professional cabinetmaker with every imaginable machine & tool at your disposal, do you have a year or two to spend putting the insides back together? (Please consider that if nothing in a house is level or square, on a boat nothing is level, square, straight, or with enough room to fit anything.)
Why does this boat appeal to you? Are there others in this size range that might be in better condition, or with less work required, that could save your marriage? Why does this boat seem so affordable? Is it really?
Experienced sailors would ask these questions and spend another three days thinking up more of them. If the answers came back so there were only a minimum of things to worry about, then they might ask around about quotes for needed work, and get opinions from others -- NOT involved with the yard, broker, or current owner-- and proceed with both eyes open, putting one toe in at a time.
Worry about the Gods later - the Gods help those who help themselves first.

AP News
TACOMA, Wash. – Federal officials have told Pierce County leaders that local government resources won't be used if unaccompanied Central American children who crossed the border illegally are sheltered at Joint Base Lewis-McChord.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is evaluating the military base near Tacoma, Washington, to temporarily house about 600 unaccompanied minors who are among tens of thousands arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border.
The News Tribune reports that federal officials discussed local concerns during a conference call Wednesday.
They said the youths would not attend public schools at JBLM, would be screened for illnesses and be cared for by contractors.
By law, the agency must house the children until they are connected with relatives or a sponsor while they go through the federal immigration process.

I finally took a day off work and made the drive from Memphis, TN to Jacksonville, AR to see what Rhino/Ryan at GPI could do to clarify my tune.
Just a little background for those who didn't read my thread in the dragstrip forum...I had a cam and UD pulley installed by a guy in Southaven, MS who does great work. He worked with me, found out what I wanted and the install was top notch. But then the tuner that he took it to had a grudge with me because I didn't let him install the cam (even though I'd never spoken with him about installing the cam or that I was even interested in one). This person does all the tuning for Xtreme Auto Accessories in Bartlett, TN. Now, I will say that I would definitely have no problem taking my car back to the person who installed the cam to have work done, but I will never recommend Xtreme for any tuning. Any tuner who will put his reputation on the line or do a crappy job tuning because he's sore that I had someone else do work on my car will never get a recommendation from me. The performance and gains off his tune (although I did not have numbers) was not what I expected. My trip to the drag strip was disappointing and when I took the car to GPI, the baseline was VERY disappointing. That's where we get to the good part of this story... Ryan at GPI greeted me, showed me some cars he was working on and some engines he was building and I was already impressed. Then we took my car back to the dyno to get some baseline numbers and find out what kind of mess we were working with. The baseline tune gave us numbers of 442HP and 412TQ. I was honestly very stunned and pretty upset that the numbers were so low. Ryan looked at the tune and some of the stuff and we determined that the guy at Xtreme had left the stock timing tables, adjusted the AFR and timing incorrectly, didn't adjust the rev limiter and a list of other items...basically all the guy did was adjust the idle and some trims at WOT. So Ryan got in there, worked his magic on the computer and he was able to get my numbers up to 464HP and 435TQ. Now I will say that as happy as I was that Ryan was able to get the numbers up so much, I was also pretty upset that he was able to because that just goes to show how crappy of a tune that other guy gave me. It did, however, reaffirm that there is nobody in the Memphis, TN area I trust with tuning and I will ALWAYS make the drive to GPI for any tuning I need to have done. After we finished with my car, Ryan took me out and showed me his bada$$ camaro...Man that thing is awesome...and when he says he fits his whole drag setup in his backseat and trunk...he means it! haha Anyway, thanks so much Ryan and GPI, you got my numbers up where I wanted them and I had a great time coming out to see you! |

00 buckshot, or 000 buckshot for hd?
I like to use my Remington 870 for home defense, who doesn't right? I have several questions with this. Should I use 00 buckshot, or 000 buckshot? I know 000 has more pellets but are smaller right? and the 00 has less pellets but bigger I am pretty sure. I don't need to worry about hitting anyone with either, because my family and I have a plan all worked out in a hd situation.
Also, should I use a turkey choke with buckshot for a much tighter patter, or will buckshot destroy the choke? All replies are greatly appreciated, thank you. |

I use 00 Buck simply because, of the sizes of buckshot, it goes on sale more often than the others. Either 000 or 00 should be fine though.
The Following 2 Users Say Thank You to nutinajar For This Useful Post: | ||
Thanks to both of the replies so far.
I use 00. Seems to do well in testing and I practice with it so I'm used to it.
I used to use lead BB's, but I was worried about under-penetration. Its quite possible they will perform well, but I have seen lots of data contradicting this. My dad and I argue this point endlessly but I haven't tested the ammo myself so I stick with what I am confident with. |

Neither...and since you're shooting within 20 yards an imp cyl would be the best choke. If you happen to be shooting beyond that distance it may not be considered self defense, especially when they're trying to jump over your back fence--castle doctrine usually doesn't apply and you may be charged and/or sued.
Like the man said, #2 (.270/12.5 oz) or better still #4 (.240/20.3 oz) buck, twice and three times the number od pellets then #00 (.330/8.12 oz). Just take the 10 yard spread as that is the usual length of a hallway. With cylinder youre throwing a basketball down the hall, modified a soccer ball and full a softball baseball. I would like to have as many effective sized pellets as possible, within that spread as I can because I can assure you from first hand experience your adrenaline will be pumping and your aim will be off slightlyhowever slight depends by the amount of training youve taken.

"Also, should I use a turkey choke with buckshot for a much tighter patter, or will buckshot destroy the choke?"
In spite of logic, a full choke does not necessarily equal to tighter patterns with buckshot. Trust me, I have tested this theory several times. The key to achieving good patterns with buckshot is to keep the pellets from being deformed on their passage through the bore. Large pellets like 00 and 000 buckshot are usually badly deformed by a full choke. The oblong and irregular shaped shot then causes irregular patterns because they do not fly straight after exiting the muzzle. I have found that an improved cylinder choke works best for me with buckshot, especially the larger sizes. The use of tighter chokes usually causes the pattern to open up more. If your shotgun is equipped with screw in choke tubes, try some of the more open chokes and see which works best in your particular shotgun. |

That's what my cousin says. I'd go 00 as well. Not that 000 wouldn't do fine as well... |
The Following User Says Thank You to DeerK For This Useful Post: | ||
The F.B.I. uses #2 buck, many SWAT/HRT teams use either #2 or #4 and I've experimented with so many combinations that it near drove me nuts...My favourite commercial load is a heavy/magnum loading of #4 buck. I found the ideal load was #BB (.180/46.5 oz) as a filler for #F (.220/28.1 oz) buck. Another that I found very effective was a load of #2 bird as filler for a load of #2 buck but then I handload so I can make up anything I want. Since your ranges are going to be within, maximum, 15 yards, unless you live in a huge mansion, then it doesn't matter what you practice with as long as it has the same velocity so you can get used to the recoil and there you can get whatever you want from #7½ to #BB for what ever is on sale after duck/goose season will be the best as you'll need magnum loads to compete against even reduced loads of buck. The problem with birdshot, especially below #2 is their inability to go through heavy clothing because the individual pellet just doesn't have enough mass to do it where the bigger and heavier pellets will. It is mass and velocity that cause penetration, take away one and the other won't do it (or won't do it as well)! A standard 1 ounce load of #9 is 585 pellets, #4 is 135, #4 buck is 24 and #00 is 8 and thats just to make an ounce. How much does a single pellet weigh. The object of a shotgun is to put a spread of shot into an area that the target will fly into. It is not an aimed firearm--so to speak but a pointed one. The more pellets in the pattern the less chance the target has of getting away unscathed. A 12 ounce upland birds doesnt require many pellets to down it; nor very big ones at that. The unfortunate fact is that the bigger the game animal the bigger the pellet required but with far less pellets in the shell. A Magnum load of powder takes some of the room away from a load of shot and thats why the made the 3 and then the 3½ shotshellto get more powder (higher velocity) and more pellets (mass) together to get the job done. I have a 3 and a 3½ coach gun that I have rigged for a HD (Home Defense) gun but I wont practice with the 3½ shells. I went and bought two 5 packs of them, fired one out of each barrelto see where and how they patterned and put the rest of the shells in the stock sleeve. Did the same with the 3 shells and for practice with both I use very heavy loads of 2¾ shells because they are so much cheaper to buy or load for. |
Either will work just fine. with 2 3/4" your giving up 1 pellet to go with 000 for most brands. I use 2 3/4 reduced recoil Rem 00 buck. 8 pellets of 00 will put them down just as good as 8 pellets of 000 in a short hall way. If 1 doesn't do it I got 7 more where that came from. Also 00 is usually more commonly found than 000. But I supose if your a tremendously good shot and you live alone in the middle of nowhere I guess you could use a 1 1/8 ounce hot rodded slug. That would really do the trick.
Point being it's a big F*****G shot gun so no matter what you use at a close enough range you will put them on their A**. |

I like the #1buck cause they are .30cal. and ya get 16 in a 2.75shell 24 in a 3in. shell.
my buttstock saddle holds 3" 000 and my side saddle holds slugs, the buck is to start it off and the slugs will be used to pop off any runners

You can--"Better to be judged by twelve then carried by six"--right! Remember that if you do or don't get off from the criminal charges there's still civil court! They'll get you nearly every time with "Denying them their civil rights", but why take the chance or incur the $100,000 legal fee that goes with more then likely, two trials... You want to shoot them twenty times, while they're standing in your house, go ahead as you shoot until the threat is stopped but if you then go over to where they are laying on the ground and put one in their head, (you know like they do in SEAL and Delta and Ranger) sorry, but that's murder and with the forensics available today, they can and will prove it...If you shoot them as they're raising a gun at you while on the floor is not the same thing, that is still self defense... |
meh... if the attacker has a weapon in his hand while hes running away then he's still a threat and im taking the shot

Hope you like eating peanut butter sandwiches in the graybar hotel. As was said earlier, you WILL go to prison for manslaughter or worse yet murder. It has also been mentioned about civil court. If you shoot anyone, regardless of whether or not it is justified, you WILL get socked with a lawsuit. It is a crazy and litigious world that we live in. No sense in making it any harder on yourself.

Exactly. 000 is nominally .36. 00 is nominally .33. I say nominally because you'll sometimes find significant variances in shot sizes even in the same shotshell. In any case, either will do the job.

Walbro Fuel Pump
I just need someone to confirm or deny my suspicions. I'm thinking about buying a Walbro 255 fuel pump, in preparation for future mods. Am I correct that installing a fuel pump won't require a tune, because the ECU controls the amount of fuel, not the fuel pump?
On that note, would it be difficult to install a fuel pump in my car? What is involved?

no you do not need a tune for a fuel pump
Awesome. Thanks. Any idea how difficult installing a fuel pump is?

takes about 20 min if that and its super easy just take your time and make sure you do it right the first time.
Yeah, I'm sure the hardest part will be taking off the rear seat to get to it. LOL

A fuel pump is a good intermediate step between a Stage 2 setup and an aftermarket turbo (+ other supporting mods and a tune) for those who can't afford to do it all at once.
Wicked good info guys. Thanks a lot. I'm definitely going to do this soon, because it will only cost like $100. And I just found a really good Suby shop relatively close to me.
All i have to say about Walbro pumps is never get them off of EBAY, I read in a few different places that this place in China is making alot of them and calling them Walbro fuel pumps and right when you put them in they are louder than normal and they will not last long at all. Please save your self time and money in the long run and make sure you are getting them from a respectful place and dont cheap out on a fuel pump EVER.
Also be weary of running them below a quarter tank. I have seen and heard about them burning up because of them not being properly cooled. I personally NEVER let my tank even touch the 1/4 tank mark.

...on the fuel pump loudness note: a friend of mine has a red 90-something Honda Civic hatchback that's street legal, but basically a full race car with around 800 hp - fully built engine running race gas, gutted interior except two lightweight racing seats, removable steering wheel, 5 point harnesses, fuel cell, 10 point roll cage, huge turbo, fmic, the works... and it looks stock from the outside except for a carbon fiber hood, modest front lip, fmic poking through the grill, and of course the low ride height and exhaust. He also has a 1,000 (yep, one thousand) liter per hour fuel pump and that thing buzzes and makes all kinds of noise when the car is turned on. It's absolutely insane. When he's cruising on the highway doing about 60 mph, he can stomp the gas pedal to the floor and he'll lose traction. It's like driving on ice. C-r-a-z-y.
But good job point out the possibility of knock off fuel pumps, VD.

Again, thanks for the awesome info guys.
P.S. I don't buy cheap crap off Ebay, so nothing to worry about.
Maybe either because the liquid helps the pump dissipate heat quicker than the stagnant air, or because the pump has a hard time sucking up fuel when its that low?
WRXtuners Member
Fuel pumps, like many other liquid pumps, are often cooled by the liquid that they are supposed to be pumping. Running a pump dry is usually a good way to burn it out. This is not always the case, but since it is cheaper to manufacture the pump without heatsinks or a heat dissipating design you can bet that it is usually the case.
2009 STi - Cobb Stage 2
Exactly what Ryan said. And just think of how much harder it is working when you go and hit boost also and are trying to pump more fuel at that point.
Good explaination Ryan.

The Scienceware 410990000 mini vacuum desiccator has a flat-domed clear polycarbonate top on a white polypropylene base with an interior volume of 0.015 cubic feet, and is designed for small samples. The peripheral flange around the bottom fits into two snap locks and seals the two halves against a Buna O-ring. The desiccator measures 12.6cm in height, with a 17.5cm diameter. The vacuum rating is 740mm Hg.
Desiccators are sealable containers used to remove water from a sample, or to preserve moisture-sensitive electronics or lab consumables, typically in laboratory, electronic, and aerospace applications. Desiccators are often used with desiccants, which are drying agents such as silica gel or activated charcoal placed under a removable platform. Standard desiccators are typically lidded jars used with a desiccant. Vacuum desiccators have a stopcock that allows air evacuation from the desiccator. Gas purge desiccators use a gas port to introduce nitrogen or other gasses, creating a controlled environment. Vacuum and gas purge desiccators may also be used with desiccants. Many desiccators are used with vacuum grease, which helps create a seal.

Partnership votes to retain post office in Upper Dales (From The Advertiser Series)

Partnership votes to retain post office in Upper Dales
Updated 3:15pm Monday 17th March 2014 in News
THE incoming postmaster for the Upper Dales has unveiled a plan to reintroduce services to villages hit by Post Office cutbacks.
Councillor John Blackie is set to take on the role from May, following Upper Wensleydale Community Partnership voting to run a post office at the Community Office in Hawes, a sorting office in the town's business park and outreach services in Askrigg and Bainbridge.
The move follows the retirement of Hawes postmaster Steve Reynolds, whose departure left residents facing a 17-mile drive to the nearest post office.
Councillor Blackie said he would aim to relaunch post office services in some of the 11 villages where sub-post offices had closed over the past 17 years.
He said: "We will not be able to go back to them all, but hope to roll back the service to some of them and will look at West Burton and Muker in the near future.
"This will protect or create ten jobs in Hawes, which is no mean feat in an area with few remaining public sector jobs."
The post office will offer all the existing postal services available in the town and be open from 9am to 5.30pm, Monday to Saturday.
More than 120 residents attending a public meeting of the partnership heard it was unlikely the Community Office would become a target for criminals, as it had served as a local collecting office for Richmondshire District Council for 15 years without an issue and was also home to the town's police station.
Coun Blackie said: "Clearly there are issues about staff security and we will make sure the necessary steps are taken."

R.A.H.N.E.E. looked over my shoulder as I hit Mr. D up for some data over a secure channel. Can you ping me the location for the mansion's error logs? We haven't peeped anything ransacked or whatnot.
A machine and directory path came up in response. Then: You should have access to it already.
Thanks! and any file repository?
Another databit appeared. There ya go. Holler if you need anything else. Sorry I can't be there to help out.
You got it, no worries. Thanks again! I popped a terminal window and tailed the error logs. A few random bits here and there, but a good chunk of what came up had the same origin. I made a consternated noise.
R.A.H.N.E.E. peered closer. "Find something?"
"Huh. Most of the errors being thrown are coming from the kitchen. You said you checked there?"
She nodded. "I did. It is possible that the automated clean-up crew got there before I did."
We walked back to the kitchen. It was a sprawling room, with a couple of islands for food preparation, racks of copper pots and cookware hanging above. Black and white tiling above the counters and floor gave it a slightly retro feel. You got to love a kitchen classier than you are. "You think someone snagged some silverware or something?" I asked.
R.A.H.N.E.E. cocked her head at me. "You would think someone would notice and say something. We are not trailing after dishonest people."
I nodded. "I know, that's been on my mind too." I started going through the cabinets, but nothing seemed out of place there, either. This whole situation was feeling more and more off. I checked the repository for the kitchen on my forearm comp, reading through files and... hello. I walked over to the fridge and looked inside.
My cell rang. The ID tagged it as just the man I wanted to talk to. "Hey there, Jah-shoo," came D-Haze's cantor. "How's the shack?"
"Funny you should ask," I said as I looked through the shelves. "You keep dessert here?"
"Yeah, you remember what Jen made for Thanksgiving?"
"The gingerbread trifle? Hell yeah, I remember."
"She made three of those for all of us, kind of an impetus for us to get together there soon."
I put the phone down and looked back over my shoulder at R.A.H.N.E.E. "He checked dessert into the repository."
She looked back at me from counting pots. "So... they would be made a permanent part of the mansion--"
"And calculated into the total mass of the place--"
"So if something happened to them--"
I put my phone back to my ear. "Your snacks are gone, man."

Halkidiki is a peninsula off the Greek mainland that extends southeast away from the city of Thessaloniki, in southern Macedonia. The peninsula resembles a hand, with three green fingers of land trailing into the blue Aegean Sea.
The eastern peninsula, Mount Athos, is a holy mountain, home to Byzantine monasteries and resident monks, but unfortunately has a ban on female visitors. The small number of male visitors who are allowed to enter this semi-autonomous region must obtain a permit well in advance.
The other peninsulas of Kasssandra and Sithonia are, by contrast, extremely welcoming to holidaymakers, popular Greek holiday destinations due to their stunning coastlines and natural beauty. Sun-kissed beaches, secluded bays, quaint villages, modern resorts, pine-covered hills and crystal clear seas are all here to explore.
July and August is when Halkidiki has most to offer, but it is great at other times of the year. Travel in Halkidiki is mainly by car and bus, and it's probably easiest to get around with a hire car. You can get here from the UK with flights into Thessaloniki. On the Beach has amazing holiday offers to make life easy for you!

Halkidiki Weather
Halkidiki has a mild Mediterranean climate, with very hot and sunny summers. The summer months are the best time for your Halkidiki holidays when you can get on the beach, enjoy water sports or work on your tan. The winter months from December to February are cooler and more cloudy with occasional showers. Spring and autumn are nice times to soak up the atmosphere and enjoy the beautiful scenery, without the crowds.

The three peninsulas give Halkidiki a diverse, snaking 550km coastline with scenic gulfs, busy resorts and peaceful bays. Here you will find dazzling white sands and pristine water; there are no major rivers or industry so the sea remains crystal clear.
Kassandra, the western peninsula, is the most popular and developed, with hotels to suit all tastes and a huge range of water sports available. There are also quieter spots to explore. Pefkohori is a resort with lovely beaches and wooded surroundings, various hotels and villas, and boat races take place during the summer. Some consider the village of Afytos to be the most picturesque spot on Kassandra, with cobbled lanes leading to cliffs and beaches.
The second peninsula Sithonia is more rugged and sparsely populated, so appeals to nature lovers and holidaymakers seeking tranquillity. Sleepy coves and hamlets join comfortable, modern resorts along the coast. Porto Carras is Greece's largest holiday complex, with a shopping centre, golf course, vineyard and hotels. In contrast the village of Parthenonas provides a glimpse of a traditional life on Sithonia, with its dilapidated stone houses.
The alluring wooded hills behind the coastline can be explored to discover the local wildlife, but you're never far from a beach in Halkidiki!
Things To Do on Halkidiki Holidays
There are many attractions on offer for people on holidays in Halkidiki: sun, sea, beaches and so much more. There are festivals and cultural events, and a wealth of history to discover. There are over twenty archaeological sites including the remains of the 7th Century BC city-harbour at Akanthos, and the sanctuary at Nea Roda. The village of Stagira, on a picturesque plateau, is famous as the birthplace of Aristotle. A fine statue of the philosopher stands in the village and the remains of the 16th Century 'Sultan's Mint' are nearby.
Petralona's Cave is an important historical and scientific site with an anthropological museum located above the caves. The pretty town of Arnia is home to The History and Folklore Museum.
Mount Athos is a semi-autonomous monks' republic, home to Byzantine monasteries and art treasures, but is only open to males over the age of 18, and those wanting to visit need to apply for a permit from the Pilgrims' Bureau in Thessaloniki. Women, or men unwilling to go through the application process, can take an offshore cruise from the resorts of Ierissos and Ouranoupoli to see Mount Athos and catch a glimpse of the monasteries.
Halkidiki features throughout Greek mythology and has an ancient history. Settlements were established and eventually came under Macedonian rule in 348BC, and then Roman in 168BC.
During the Byzantine era the first monastery was built on Athos, and over time more monks arrived. After long struggles between Turks, Venetians and Greeks Halkidiki finally became part of the Greek Macedonia in 1912.
Evidence of a turbulent past is scattered across its lands, but today Halkidiki is the most peaceful and idyllic of places.
Halkidiki has cultural events and festivals throughout the year. Afytos and Sivri host The Kassandra Festival. The Porto Caras Festival in July features jazz, latin and traditional music. Sani holds a festival throughout July and August with all sorts of music and art on offer.
In Halkidiki, like the rest of Greece, Holy Week is a very special celebration with events in many towns and villages.
Every kind of nightlife is available for people on Halkidiki holidays: traditional taverns, restaurants, bars, clubs, and cafes. Afytos is a pleasant place on Kassandra to spend an evening with restaurants serving local fare and live Greek music in the bars during summer weekends. Livelier nights can be had at the Pasha Bar at Nea Flogita. In Sarti, over on Sithonia, you can party all night at The Goa Bar.
Most of the larger resorts and towns have bars and clubs that stay open late during the summer, if you are after a more chilled out evening there are many traditional tavernas in the villages. In nightlife as in everything, all tastes are catered for in Halkidiki!
Book a Halkidiki Holiday now!
It comes as no surprise that Halkidiki is one of the most popular holiday spots anywhere in Greece. You can see exactly why with miles and miles of glorious beaches, blazing sun and perfect sea, along with endless water sports, fine hotels, and peaceful retreats. On the Beach has great deals on flights and accommodation, so book now for an idyllic holiday in the sun!

Ys: Books I & II Easing On Down To Nintendo DS In February
Atlus keeps its Japanese RPG import streak alive with the North American release of Legacy of Ys: Books I & II for the Nintendo DS, due to ship February 10, 2009. The role-playing game is a remake of Ys I & II, two classic games now twenty-plus years long in the tooth. The two games were released separately in Japan earlier this year, but Atlus is being charitable to our wallets, keeping both remakes on a single cart. Looks like they're going for about $35 in U.S. Dollars, which wouldn't be so bad. The Turbografx-16 version of Ys I & II is currently available on the Wii Virtual Console, should you desperately be in need of an Ys fix.

Stay far far away from this office! I went in to get a foot X-ray (waited 35 mins in the exam room before the doctor came in). Then waited 3 weeks before I finally got ahold of someone for the results... 3 weeks! During that time I called multiple times, left messages, even sent a fax asking for someone to please call me with the results. Once I was even told that there were no doctors in that day but someone would call me the next morning... No call. Finally I called again today and talked to the office gal Lupe and she says "everything's fine". I insisted that everything is not fine as I'm in pain and I asked to speak with the doctor to talk about the next step. I was told that the doctor does not take phone calls or make phone calls. I asked to leave him a voicemail, he doesn't do that apparently. I asked for an email address, he doesn't have one of those either. Horrible service in this office and I will never return. except to pick up my X-rays since they won't send them to me.

Hey guys this is my first post so if I don't follow proper edicate I'm sorry. A bit about me and my ladies. I have almost a year under my belt and its been a fun filled journey so far with many rewards. This site has helped me more than I could have dreamed My girls are Barney's LSD. 15 of them to be exact. All of them look exceptional except this one? I've spent numerous hours over the year studying the deficiency charts and I'm still questioning what to do next since these babies are new. Here's what I got. Vegging under 5t ho. 5 inches from the tops. Humidity always around 45 to 55% and temps always around 75f. I only water when the 5 gallon bucket feels light and I haven't given them any nutrients. I use Aurora roots organic soil. I'm sure I have missed something but hopefully this pic tells the story. I have narrowed it down to either a ph issue or a potassium deficiency. I hope the gurus will chime in and level me with some knowledge. Thanks to all who view. I couldn't have done it without ya if I don't respond promptly its because its 4am I have to work tomorrow so I will reply ASAP. Thanks again for your time.
Anybody have any ideas? I would greatly appreciate any input. If more pics are needed just let me know. Thanks for your help.
it doesnt look like it gets much light in the photo-do you move them around or is it because of the pattern of light in that spot? It looks pretty bad to me like it might do better under a single 23 watt cfl in a clamp lamp (or any HID lamp). Try watering it every other day or every day if you haven't been . a 1/4 or 1/2 dose of fish emulsion or dyna/gro or tiger bloom would probably help plus foliar water and fertilizer when the light is enough. You can usually get a tester with a light meter for under 10$ at home depot etc.
yeah whata kinda light....n when is last time they hav been fed ?? oh says u aint fed.... maybe they need some looks like K def i believe kinda but i am terrible at reading plants haha so dont take my word
ive got a 15 day old LSD right now, completley different phenos tho. ill be following to see how it turns out goodluck
Thanks for the replies she is under a t5 with red/blue spectrum 54 watt ecolux bulbs. I haven't fed them cause all my reading implied not to feed till the 4th to 5 node is apparent. Ill post a pic of her sister. All the others look like this. And I havent done anything different to any of them. Hydrospoil78 - I do move them every 3-4 days. Mcwhippin420 - my guess was k deficiency too. I use nectar for the gods nutrients. So I will look into a dose of k and see where we stand. Since I started in 5 gal buckets from seed the soil stays moist for about 4 days. I do aerate with a straw to allow the soil to dry a little faster. Thanks again I greatly appreciate it I will defititely keep people posted on this topic.
If the other 14 plants look like the last one, I would not be worried one bit Maybe that particular pheno is a particularly light feeder and the soil was just a tad hot (strong) for it at that young age. One thing I would like to say, its always good to water in relation to your root mass. I try to envision how big it is, and water accordingly. So if I have 5 gallons of soil and a seedling I feel there is no need to moisten the entire container when only a pint may be needed As the plant gets bigger the root mass grows more and more water is needed each time. On top of that I also like to have a proper root mass to plant mass ratio,,, I see too many people trying to grow big plants in small containers. My motto is "more roots more fruits" Hope this helps you out.
Thanks whodatnationthe others all look great! I literally just fed them with nutes for the first time. My tap water is 190 to 200 ppm and the mutes I just gave them came to 250ppm. Starting small has been the key to my success. I truly appreciate all the help, to all of you +Rep. I think I found my home away from home haha.
post back if it helped, soo many threads where the op gets a ton of tips but they never return to say what actually helped. ps: nice plant!
Bottletoke - I will definitely post back, I understand your frustration with that. Its my belief why so many questions turn up with the reply, "I used the search but it didnt help." I'm most likely gonna be updating this for the next couple months. If I'm unlucky there will many issues addressed for people to learn from my mistakes. If it goes like the rest of my grows, there should only be a couple here and there thanks for the support.
