SANTA CLARA, Calif., Jan. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- ScaleArc, the pioneer of database infrastructure software that simplifies the way database environments are deployed and managed, today announced $12.3 million in new funding from leading venture capital firms. The round was led by Accel Ventures with participation from existing investors including Trinity Ventures and Nexus Ventures, from whom ScaleArc had previously raised $5.33 million in 2011. The new funding will be used primarily to invest in sales and marketing to fuel ScaleArc's global expansion in the multi-billion dollar Big Data market, as well as to maintain aggressive development of its product roadmap.
ScaleArc iDB is software that inserts transparently between applications and databases, requiring no modifications to applications or databases to deploy. A 15 minute deployment of ScaleArc iDB delivers the following benefits:
- provides instant visibility into all database traffic with granular real-time SQL analytics
- enables instant scalability and higher availability for databases with dynamic clustering, load balancing and sharding capabilities
- delivers the world's first transparent SQL-NoSQL hybrid caching engine (patent-pending) which lets any application use a NoSQL cache without any code changes or drivers
Customers who deploy ScaleArc iDB are able to reduce troubleshooting times from days or hours to minutes, achieve significantly higher uptime, provide instant vertical and horizontal scalability of their existing database infrastructure, provide much better query performance (up to 60x faster) and strengthen the overall security of their database environment. Existing customers include Demand Media, Disney UTV, KIXEYE, Sazze (dealspl.us), Flipkart, Weather Decision Technologies and others, with documented ROIs ranging from instantaneous to less than one year.
"Accel Partners is excited to be a part of the ScaleArc team," said Sameer Gandhi, General Partner at Accel Partners. "We continue to be impressed with the company's innovative approach to solving a key Big Data problem, as well as its significant customer traction with well-documented ROIs. We look forward to working with them as they continue their global expansion."
"We at ScaleArc are in a unique place in the Big Data ecosystem, as we're the only company that can offer a true next generation database infrastructure platform for applications that use a wide variety of databases such as MySQL, Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server, and can transparently bridge the performance and scalability gap between SQL and NoSQL databases," said Varun Singh, Founder & CEO of ScaleArc. "We're excited to have Accel as an investor, as they truly understand the Big Data space and add strong value to our business."
ScaleArc iDB supports MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle databases and is available as software on any x86-64 server, as a virtual appliance on any x86 compatible hypervisor, or as a turn-key appliance. ScaleArc iDB is cloud-ready and available via service providers such as the Amazon AWS Marketplace, GoGrid, Joyent, Hyperwiser, Liquid Web Hosting and NephoScale.
ScaleArc is expanding significantly, with numerous job openings in the US and India in departments ranging from Sales & Marketing to Research & Development. For more details on all open positions, please visit http://www.scalearc.com/careers/.

Malicious agents are moving faster than the speed of business. Even more worrisome, most companies are relying on legacy approaches to security that are no longer capable of meeting current threats. In the modern cloud, threat diversity is rapidly expanding, necessitating more sophisticated security protocols than those used in the past or in desktop environments. Yet companies are falling for cloud security myths that were truths at one time but have evolved out of existence.

I worked this weekend.
Yep. Work.
Okay well ACTUALLY Saturday morning was the holiday meeting at Best Buy. Basically nearly 200 employees showed up at 7AM for all kinds of fun. I mean hey, I can't complain, they got us donuts and juice. So it was basically a quick review holiday stuff and then a lot of screaming at the end. Which was good because the screaming woke me up. But I'm going to tell you all something. I'm scared I might get killed next weekend. Black Friday at Best Buy sounds TERRIFYING! So if I'm not around after next weekend... well, you know what happened.
I worked at Maurices in the afternoon. I was actually in a pretty great mood and they day went by fast. I won't say anything about what's going on but I'm hoping I can just keep doing what I'm doing so that I don't have to worry. Fingers crossed.
Dustin and I rented Grown Ups from Redbox Saturday night. It was actually pretty funny! Kind of a cute movie for anyone to see and we both enjoyed it! Plus any movie that has Escape (The Pina Colada Song) in it is a good movie in my book!
I also worked Sunday at Maurices. I woke up around 8 and right after getting out of the shower I had a missed called from Amy. Basically our newest manager, Jen, called Amy and Shannon to say she couldn't work because it was raining and supposedly the roads were freezing. Which is total crap because I drive just as far as Jen does and I wasn't calling in. So Amy ended up having to work which made me happy because I love working with Amy. Despite the computers being down for about an hour we had a really great day.
After work I raced home (or tried to, the roads were still a smidge slippery) because Dustin and I had a date to see HP7 Part 1 (and if you don't know what I'm talking about that makes me really, really upset). I'm pretty much totally happy about the movie except I'm still mad at J.K. Rowling for just randomly killing people. I seriously can't believe there's just one movie left and then... that's it. I really don't remember a time when there wasn't something Harry Potter related to look forward to so it's going to be odd when it's all over. Most likely I will cry. Oh, and if you haven't seen the movie yet and you're planning to I suggest you bring some tissues with.
THIS WEEK is going to be absolute insanity. I have to get all my homework done today and before work at Maurices tomorrow. I need to call Best Buy to find out if they plan to give me anymore training or if I'm just supposed to stand around and look pretty Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I also need to clean the apartment AND finish NaNo. Lord. This should be interesting...

Tropical Storm Karen lost steam in the Gulf of Mexico earlier this month and did not achieve hurricane status. Weather experts at the National Oceanic Atmospheric Association (NOAA) say even though seasonal tropical storms have been weaker, it's still important to be prepared for the next big event around the corner.
The International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) offers practical ways to protect trees from damaging high winds and violent rain, reducing the chance of property damage and costly repair.
Here are five recommended steps to get started:
• Survey property for trees showing signs of instability - ISA suggests looking for cracks in trunks of major limbs, dead branches, aged or decaying trees.
• Take action to remedy potential hazards - Inspect trees that could cause property damage before a storm hits by checking for branches that hang over the roof or those close to power lines.
• Prevent damage by being proactive - Once an issue is found, follow a checklist. Have a professional remove damaged or decaying trees. Call the local utility company to have branches close to power lines pruned or removed. Leaning trees may have root issues so have them inspected by an ISA Certified Arborist.
• Document tree value - Properly maintained trees may increase property value by up to 20 percent. An ISA Certified Arborist can provide an estimated value by inspecting your trees. Keep a good record with photos of the trees and the arborist's evaluation.
• Hire an ISA Certified Arborist - An ISA Certified Arborist can develop a master plan for your shrub and tree care. They can also best determine if broken trunks and limbs should be removed or if uprooted trees can be saved or replanted.
With more than 20,000 members worldwide and located in nearly every U.S. metropolitan area, ISA Certified Arborists can guide consumers and offer valuable perspective on protecting trees from weather damage.

Local editor's book revisits iconic '60s television seriesWritten by Jeff McGinnis | | email@example.com
"Biff! Bang! Pow!"
So read the screen as the Caped Crusader struck a blow for justice against an evil villain and his henchmen. For an entire generation of fans, those words and others would forever be connected to Batman, thanks to his wildly popular 1960s television incarnation.
The iconic television series starring Adam West and Burt Ward debuted in 1966. It ran a little more than two years before being canceled in March 1968. But the show would leave a lasting impression on the Batman character, as well as millions of fans — among them, a young Jim Beard.
"Come on, Robin, to the Batcave! There's not a moment to lose!"
A writer and longtime comic fan, Beard was first introduced to the world of the Dark Knight through the classic show. Now, nearly 45 years after it first appeared, Beard aims to celebrate and analyze the series and its impact as contributing writer and editor of the new book, "Gotham City 14 Miles."
"I wanted to do a book like this for a while," Beard said. "I really wanted to do something, because in my mind there just haven't been enough books about this show. Which I find funny — one of the most popular shows of all time, and there really has only been a small handful of books about it during the past 45 years."
"Atomic batteries to power. Turbines to speed."
Beard's first steps toward making the project a reality came in February 2009, when he met the minds behind Sequart, a nonprofit publisher that produces books dedicated to promoting and analyzing comics as art.
"About two months later, I e-mailed them and I said, 'Would you be willing to think about an idea for a book about the "Batman" TV series?' And they said, 'Pitch it to us'," Beard said.
"Jim delivered a killer pitch for the book, one which showed great enthusiasm and a real mastery of the subject and its critical issues," said Sequart publisher Julian Darius. "I was bowled over. I agreed the show was important and have always enjoyed it myself, but it's often maligned. Jim really knew the show inside and out, and he had a great plan to explore the show both historically and critically.
"He's also just a fantastic guy personally and very easy to work with, so this has been a real pleasure for us."
Beard's concept was to do something that celebrated the series, but he also knew the importance of approaching the show with a critical eye.
"They said in the beginning, 'Jim, this cannot be a love-fest. It has to look at everything with a cold, hard eye.' And I said, 'Great!' And as the essays started coming in, I was really thrilled. Because by the end, I thought we had this really balanced look. And that's really what I wanted," Beard said. "I wanted it to be very eclectic, like the show itself."
"Holy priceless collection of Etruscan snoods, Batman!"
The book is made up of 14 essays — one for every mile from stately Wayne Manor to Gotham — analyzing the show from almost every possible angle. Beard set out most of the ideas for the essays himself, with input from his publishers. He then set out to find writers to fill each of the 14 assignments.
Beard's search would lead him to attain contributions from many of the writers he wanted, and also from those he never dreamed he could get — like Chuck Dixon, famous writer of the "Batman" comics in the 1990s.
"I never thought I could get Chuck Dixon. He was suggested to me by somebody else, who couldn't take part in it. They said, 'How about Chuck Dixon?' And I said, 'Would Chuck Dixon do this?' Chuck was just so open to it and just really thrilled about doing it."
The book also features essays by comic and media luminaries like Paul Kupperberg, a former editor of DC comics; Robert Greenberger, writer and former editor of Comics Scene magazine; Will Murray, pulp fiction scholar and author of more than 50 novels; and Michael S. Miller, editor-in-chief of Toledo Free Press and Toledo Free Press Star.
Miller wrote about the show's famous theme music, which was composed by the late Neal Hefti. He interviewed Rock and Roll Hall of Fame drummer Hal Blaine, who played on the original track, and Hal Lifson, who has written books about 1960s pop culture and the "Batman" TV show.
"The theme from 'Batman' symbolizes the best of the 1966 TV show if you are a fan and the worst if you are not. It is simple but memorable, lightweight but insistent, brief but immortal," Miller said. "During the height of the show's impact, artists as disparate as Mel Torme, Frank Zappa and The Who toyed with the music. Jim has done a great job guiding us through the process, from his original vision to the finished work."
"Quick! To the Batmobile!"
Beard's wife Becky also contributed an essay, analyzing the actors who worked on the show. "While 'Batman' was arguably the high point in the careers of its stars Adam West and Burt Ward, the support players brought decades' worth of experience to the series," she said.
"During my research I was astounded by the magnitude of the talent utilized on the show, which included Vaudeville veterans and radio, film and TV pioneers. The series introduced these old-timers to a new generation of fans, reinvigorating their careers."
Actors such as Vincent Price, Milton Berle, Otto Preminger and Eartha Kitt played villains on the show.
Mike Johnson, a technical whiz who Beard has known for more than 10 years, wrote an essay titled "Gotham City R&D."
"It's a look at the technology that Batman employed during the series and its impact on modern technology," Johnson said.
"I would look at a specific gadget or technology, compare it to modern technology and decide if the show was ahead of its time when it came to its gadgets and devices.
"I was surprised at some of the conclusions I came to in the book. I certainly gained a greater respect for the TV show and its contribution to the character of Batman."
"Precisely, Robin!"
Indeed, through the years, the show's comical tone (Beard disputes use of the word "campy") has led many fans to dismiss its importance to Batman lore — a tendency Beard addresses in his own essay.
"People tend to dispense with the show because they say, 'That's not really Batman.' Well, I set out to say, 'Here's what Batman is, here's what the Adam West Batman is — is it really Batman?'
"I knew for the essay to be taken seriously that I did need to kind of set my admiration and love for the show to the side, for the most part. And, it's funny, there is actually some critical stuff in there," Beard said. "After re-watching many, many episodes, there's some things in there that kind of surprised me."
It is an exciting time for Beard and his collaborators. Pre-orders for the book will be taken starting on Sept. 29 at comic shops everywhere. The book will officially be released in December. On the second weekend of October, Beard and eight of his essayists will appear at a panel about the book at the New York City Comic Con, along with Mark Waid — longtime comic writer and die-hard "Batman" series fan.
Beard's ultimate hope is to restore to the sometimes celebrated, sometimes derided series the respect he feels it deserves.
"I don't imagine that I'm going to convince anybody to love this show who doesn't already love it. But what I'm hoping that some people will walk away with is that, yes, it does have a place in the character's history, and yes, it does have a place in pop culture, and an important place."
"Tune in tomorrow!
Same Bat-time!
Same Bat-channel!"

The Georgetown County Sheriffs Office has released a security camera photo in hopes someone can identify the people responsible for a burglary at Pee Dee Grocery that occurred at about 3:30 a.m. March 7.
Sheriffs Office spokeswoman Carrie Cuthbertson said deputies responded to the report of a burglary at the store located at 4230 Old Pee Dee Road. The owner said he was notified by the alarm company about a break in. As he approached the store, the victim observed a small green vehicle with a Johnson Auto Sales paper tag flee from a neighboring road.
Cuthbertson said when deputies arrived, they saw the front glass door of the building broken. After reviewing the surveillance video, three black male suspects are seen breaking the glass door, entering the building and rummaging through the shelves behind the counter and the coolers, she said.
One suspect was wearing a light colored long sleeve shirt and camouflage pants with a white baseball cap. The second suspect was wearing dark clothing and a white skull cap. The third suspect was wearing a light colored long sleeve shirt, camouflage pants and a light colored newsboy style cap.
Anyone that can identify the suspect in the screen shot or has any information regarding the burglary is urged to call the Georgetown County Sheriffs Office at 546-5101.

Restaurant Week Toledo returns Feb. 24-March 2Written by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | email@example.com
A week featuring special menus developed by local restaurants with a portion of proceeds benefiting a local nonprofit is a recipe that gets local foodies and philanthropists alike looking forward to Restaurant Week Toledo each year.
"In just three years we have built this into a to-do food event in Toledo," said Cory Dippold, associate executive director of Leadership Toledo. "Whether you are a casual diner or a foodie, Restaurant Week Toledo allows the community to try new restaurants at affordable prices or possibly try a new menu item at a favorite dining spot."
The fourth annual Restaurant Week Toledo is set for Feb. 24 through March 2. A portion of proceeds will benefit two youth programs of Leadership Toledo: Youth Leadership Toledo and Students in Action.
The event, presented by Medical Mutual, offers "a culinary taste of Toledo" and will feature new venues as well as returning favorites, said Restaurant Week Toledo co-chair Becca Gorman. Last year's event featured 28 restaurants and drew in more than 10,000 diners.
"There really was something for everyone last year and this year will be the same," Gorman said.
Participating restaurants include 5th Street Pub, Avenue Bistro, The Beirut, Burger Bar 419, The Café at The Oliver House, Caper's Restaurant & Bar, Gradkowski's, Element 112, ICE Restaurant & Bar, Korea Na, La Scola Italian Grill, Loma Linda, Mama La Scola, Mancy's Bluewater Grille, Mancy's Italian Grill, Mancy's Steaks, Maumee Wines and Bistro, Poco Piatti, Registry Bistro, Revolution Grille, Rockwell's at The Oliver House, Rosie's Italian Grille, Shorty's True American Roadhouse, Social and Ventura's. A few more restaurants will still be added before the start of the promotion, Gorman said.
Each of the restaurants, which include venues in Toledo, Maumee, Perrysburg, Swanton and Sylvania, will feature a special menu priced at $10, $20 or $30. (Drinks, taxes and gratuities are not included unless specified.) Each venue will also include at least one meal designated a healthy option.
"Everyone wins — the restaurant owners for the increased traffic and marketing exposure, the customers who have a fun week of dining and trying new spots while getting a good value, and Leadership Toledo, which receives proceeds from the restaurants," Gorman said.
Kickoff party
New this year will be a kickoff party, set for Feb. 19 at Registry Bistro in Downtown Toledo. Restaurant Week Toledo co-chair Margot Estes said she plans to offer samples of menu items from various restaurants as well as beer and wine tastings.
"They are still working on the details, but I think it will be great," said Erika Rapp, chef and co-owner of Registry Bistro. "It will build a lot of buzz and build up momentum for the full week."
This will be Registry Bistro's second year with Restaurant Week Toledo.
"We had a wonderful experience [last year]," Rapp said. "It was our first year in business and Restaurant Week Toledo gave us a lot of great exposure to people who didn't know about us or hadn't been in yet. It's a great opportunity for people to try a new restaurant. Especially being new and being included in a group of restaurants that were well-established, I think that was really helpful for us."
Korea Na manager Sam Kim said he's looking forward to participating for the first time. The eatery moved to a new location on Bernath Parkway about six months ago.
"It's good publicity for the restaurant and part of the proceeds go toward Leadership Toledo's youth programs," Kim said. "We just feel it's a good opportunity to expose our restaurant a bit and also contribute back to the organization."
Burger Bar 419 will take part for the third year, this time at two locations since its Monroe Street location opened in May.
"Restaurant Week Toledo really took off within the past two years," said co-owner Tony House. "I think the public really enjoys the idea and being able to get out and hit all these restaurants they normally wouldn't."
House said his favorite part is the anticipation leading up to the event.
"You hear about it for months: It's coming, it's coming, it's going to be here soon," House said. "It's definitely fun for the staff and gets them amped up. The volume we see goes up dramatically."
Ventura's has participated in Restaurant Week Toledo since its inception.
"It seems like every year it gets larger," said owner Valerie Mundt-Scott. "We've had a great time with it. It brings in a lot of new faces and that's always a plus. And the money goes to a good cause. That's obviously the No. 1 reason. People look forward to this. There's so many great restaurants involved. As a restaurant, you definitely want to be in the midst of it all."
Leadership Toledo
Money raised by Restaurant Week Toledo funds programs that help area teens "realize what their leadership roles and responsibilities are and how to maximize their impact in their workplaces, schools and community," Dippold said.
"Since our youth programs do not charge tuition, we must fundraise to cover costs and Restaurant Week Toledo is an innovative way to help support our mission while also supporting local restaurants," he said.
Youth Leadership Toledo is a nine-month program that works with select high school sophomores to develop leadership skills and community service. Since 1998, more than 750 students have participated in the program, Dippold said. This year's class is comprised of 51 students from 30 regional high schools.
Students in Action, a component of the national Jefferson Awards organization, recognizes area students doing community volunteer work. Since starting in four local schools as a pilot program in 2008, the program has expanded into more than 30 schools, including St. Ursula Academy, which was named one of the top four programs in the country last year, Dippold said. Participating students logged more than 213,000 service hours last school year.
Toledo Free Press is a media sponsor of Restaurant Week Toledo. Other sponsors include WTOL, 419 Design, Burkett Restaurant Equipment & Supplies, Directions Credit Union, 2-Scale and Homewood Press.

Anti - what bothers you more, that some sinners are also homosexual?(as some sinners are also theives, murderers, etc)or that scripture is scripture, it's inspired by God, he means what he says, and what he says about it is clear?It would be nice to be able to justify whatever we want to do as God didn't REALLY mean that to apply to us today.For example, there are many "straight" christians that re-interpret scripture to make pre-marital, nonmarital or extramarital OKAY for them in their particular situation. The bible is just as clear on this and people will always try to "justify" what the bible clearly says is wrong - when it is something they want to do.Me, for example, the bible is clearly against overeating for any reason yet, I still find myself doing it on occaision.
I don't think of the bible as a text that was written by God Himself. ... critically.
There is a way of practicing homosexuality that is lust driven - when it is promiscuous, when men simply decide to go with a guy when they had been married, even when it was a good marriage. That is wrong. But if a man during puberty or even earlier discovers how women don't interest him sexually, and therefor he can only love another man romantically, what now? This has nothing to do with sinful lusts but instead it is a normal expression of romantic interest including the sexual component.
He came to save us from our sins, not save us in our sins.

I am after some help regarding pre-eclampsia. I am 19 years old, and located in Australia.
I had my first baby in July 2006, and had a fairly uneventful pregnancy until 40 weeks + 5 days when my weekly visit to my birth centre showed that my blood pressure was quite high- I have no history of high blood pressure and during my pregnancy it was mostly 115/70. This day it was quite high, arounf 135, and when the midwife gave my a urine test is showed 3+++ proteins. I didn't experience any unusual swelling that made me take notice, but over here routine weighing is no longer practice so I really wasn't watching my weight at all and looking back, none of my coats fit me around my arms, didn't catch on to me then it was with fluid.
I refused induction on that day, and discharged myself out of hospital because noone would give me a straight answer about what was going on. I knew what PET was, but I didn't think it could occur so late.
I came in the next day and my blood pressure was a bit higher. They put me on some medication and began the induction. I had a normal vaginal birth, my baby was born 40 + 6 days, and with medication my BP stabilised after four days, though I was kept on the medication a further six weeks, decreasing the amount of doseage every few days. I have had no further history of HBP. I did, however, suffer from DVT after the birth, with many clots in one of my upper arms. I was on blood thinning medications before they subsided. I had no previous history of DVT.
I am pregnant again now, baby due in January 2008, when I will be 20. I was forced to go off the pill earlier than I had hoped because the authorities were getting worried with the migraines I was experiencing and that they might be related to DVT. My husband and I did not have any other contraceptive options available to us that would still allow us to conceive again later in the year.
I am now worried that I will develop PET again, and that it might be more severe than it was before. I know the figures for women experiencing it a second time when they had severe PET the first time around are 1 in 20, but was mine severe PET? I had a grandmother have PET in her first pregnancy, does this effect my likelyhood at all?
Hope I will get some answers for my questions as I have had next to no support for this.

COLUMBIA CITY — Katrina Simpkins, a young celebrity from Columbia City, was on hand to introduce the movie, "Dolphin Tale," at Mary Raber Elementary School's movie night Friday.
Katrina is well known for her connections to Winter, the dolphin that inspired the movie "Dolphin Tale," released in 2011 by Warner Brothers.
Katrina was born with proximal femoral focal deficiency, a birth defect in which the hip end of the thigh bone does not develop. The condition can vary in its severity, but for Katrina, where her right knee would normally be is instead her foot. A surgery at age 1 turned her foot backward so that her ankle can act as a knee joint. Since then, she has relied on prosthetic legs in order to walk.
When Katrina happened to meet Winter on a family vacation to a Florida aquarium, Katrina said Winter and her met each other's eyes and things changed.
Winter and Katrina had something in common. Winter, a bottlenose dolphin, lost her tail and nearly died when she was entangled in rope from a crab trap, but was rescued and taken to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium in Clearwater, Fla., where she received a revolutionary prosthetic tail.
The bond over being different turned Katrina's depressed and downhearted outlook on life into a whirlwind experience that would tell her's and Winter's story.
On Friday, in front of a group of elementary students, Katrina not only introduced the movie, but encouraged the children to not be afraid to be different.
This is a message Katrina delivers to audiences all over the country. Now, after working with Winter, Katrina stands on a platform of courage in order to help others embrace their true selves, even in the face of disabilities or differences.
"All the kids I inspire make this worth it, " Katrina said. "I try to teach them that its not scary to be different and for me, it's not scary to be in a prosthesis."
Katrina is 13 and is home-schooled. Her mother, Marty, encourages the travel and the opportunities Katrina has to share her story.
As a teenager, Katrina, suited with her prosthesis, is faced with the transition that comes with the teen years. But she said she does not see this as a time of awkwardness, rather, she chooses to focus on who she is, not what she looks like.
This is a timely message for teen girls as the pressure to conform and perform is at its highest.
"I try to tell girls to put as much beauty on the inside as they do the outside," Katrina said. "I want them to focus on their individual personalities."
Marty has tried to instill the idea in Katrina that "each one of us has a purpose. It's not about an identity and it's not about what you look like."
The life lesson Katrina has learned through this encounter with a dolphin is that she can choose to use her prosthesis as a way to open doors to reach others.
"I meet people all over the country and I get to tell them about Winter and answer their questions," said Katrina. But Marty sees there is more to the story.
"I think we are going to see Katrina telling her own story separate from Winter's," Marty said. "Although she will always have that special connection with Winter, I believe her own life experiences are going to be valuable and people will want to know more about her."
Katrina sees herself as a spokesperson for self-esteem. I want people to be secure in themselves, learn to love their true person and develop confidence no matter what the world tries to tell them."
Here at home, Katrina is a part of Whitley County Dazzlers, a cheerleading group designed for special needs and disabilities. She said being in the group is just another way to prove she is "normal" and can do anything she wants to work toward. One of those things she is working for, is the chance to take horseback riding lessons and learn how to barrel race.
A new book detailing Katrina's story, entitled "Katrina and Winter: Partners in Courage," is available through Amazon.com and is written by Nancy Stewart.

Anyone know how hard it would be to finish one of the century castings, not sure if they are 50% or 80%. Any ideas?
Anyone know how hard it would be to finish one of the century castings, not sure if they are 50% or 80%. Any ideas?
They sold 40% and 70% both FAC and century had them when they were separate companys a few years back
I have got two 70% sitting here ready to go, I am doing mine by hand. I was going to do this with others, but I have lost touch with them
if done without a milling machines I will have to use taps, I got quotes the other day its over $100.00 for the taps but I will use them twice! all the interior cuts will be done with a mounted dremel and /or drill press, hand files, I am in no hurry
the front end is the problem, the thread timing by hand will be fun, but with shoulders I should do ok.
heat treatment I have given this a lot of thought and read every thread out there, this has been done before so I can do it. only I am going to use a blacksmith to do the heat treatment by temp/color
I have downloaded all past posts on doing these 70% and I will be working from these threads were posted by others. Roderus has several posts/threads going way back in the archives on these builds. got to do the research
since you asked for thoughts
thanks, I just saw a couple on gunbroker and thought I might give it a try but I think it might be biting off more than I can chew with the limited amount of info available
I have 3 of them. I spent about 80 hours on 2 of them on the Bridgeport. This was around 2001. Then Sarco came out with $179 Imbel, ( back in the day!) I bought 2 and got consecutive serial numbers. Havn't looked at the castings since. One has been surface ground flat and the other 2 are really 80% receivers. Lost interest.
Well I started the 80%, I filed down(by hand) the bolt rails measured from the top rail, I reformed the area above the mag well back behind the carry handle area and the bolt face meet with a dremel stone.
for cutting of the interior rails,dremel cut off wheels will be used, a
individual wheel for the top cover and three glued together to form the thickness of the bolt rails. I have evened the face of the receiver it was off a bit.
the chamber threads will be done by hand I ordered the taps for the gas plug and barrelled chamber. The gas plug area needs to be openned I will do this with a series of regular drill bits using the barrel stub for guidiance as the openning is stepped inside. I am not cutting a carry handle slot. the barrel/chamber area needs to be openned up I am going to use a brake wheel cylinder stone reamer since I don't have a lathe ( don't need one) the back chamber near the mag well has to be formed by file as the the barrel stub as a guide. Cutting the threads well I figured I would destory a barrel stub by cutting it, starting at the carry handle slot through the chamber than file and sand to form. the front of the stub will form my threading guide! I will hold/support it up against the 80% front by receiver wrench and a bolt/nut/washer through the gas plug and vice/verse for cutting the chamber threads
I am doing the charging handle cuts and ejector block last.
the taps come from mcMasters-Carr

If you've got a milling machine and some good tooling, it's not too terribly difficult... It won't be easy, and I believe you have to heat treat the entire thing.
Also, see the post by Sprat... More importantly, see what the FAL Files has to say about Sprat...
Just as an aside , who cares what a differnt board says about a member. I am sure that there are some at the basement that would not have kind words for many of us over here. Until I am proven wrong , I would as soon take a man at his word ; though to borrow a phrase from R Reagan , trust but verify.
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. --Benjemin Franklin
A fear of weapons is a sign of retarded sexual and emotional maturity. -- Sigmund Freud
TO vote for the lesser of two evils , is to still vote for evil.
if i recall ppl on fal files said stay away from century castings because they were dangerous..
but what do i know i've only built 3 fals and fired over 8000 rounds of 7.62x51
If any punk kid ever comes up to you asking for your `Gang Sign` Tap your chest twice then your forehead once. After doing that only upon a threat do you draw your glock and show him what you meant.
Glock: Could you be thinking of the Aluminum receivers made a few years ago? I believe they were Century's bright idea, though I could be wrong...
They were made from Aluminum and would very easily stretch and deform under the pressures of a .308 round, and thusly they were named the "Aluma-BOMB" receivers, and word went out to avoid at all costs.
Also, Entreprise is one to stay away from, unless you've got good experience with FAL receivers... Entreprise receivers almost always require refitting on damn near every mating surface to get everything to sit right...
And Glock: You have experience with FALs... Could you honestly build one without the aid of a milling machine?
FAL Files has members who build FALs for a living... I'll take their advice over Sprat's any day.
Honestly, it will be incredibly difficult if not totally impossible to finish out an 80% with nothing but hand tools. The FAL's receiver is very precise machining. A dremel and a screwdriver just isn't enough...

Kraska and Knapp Named To All Tournament Team
Lynch Scores for Hawks

POTSDAM, NY – Jordan Lynch's goal in the 87th minute gave Hilbert a late-game lift, but Morrisville State hung on for the 2-1 victory in the consolation match of the Potsdam College Cup September 2. Castleton State defeated SUNY Potsdam, 2-1in double overtime to clinch the championship game.
Both teams had opportunities to break into the scoring column in the first half but the Hawks and Mustangs stayed perfect by the break. Hilbert escaped an early Mustang goal when a Hawk defender blocked a Brian Culkin shot while standing on the goal line and Morrisville State stopped a Lynch penalty kick with about ten minutes remaining in the half.
Morrisville snuck one past Hilbert's Jeremy Kraska just five minutes into the second half to break the tie. The Mustangs extended their lead after Sean Shields directed a header to the back of the net off a corner kick in the 78th minute. Then Lynch scored the Hawks first goal of the season to close the gap with just under three minutes left in the game. Hilbert sent several volleys into the box after their goal, but they couldn't get the equalizer before the final horn.
Hilbert outshot the Mustangs (16-13) with more direct on-goal hits. Kraska finished with four saves and Morrisville's Rob Larking tallied seven for the victors.
Castleton's Nate Koeneman was named as the 2012 SUNY Potsdam College Cup MVP. Also receiving All Tourney recognition were Kraska and James Knapp from Hilbert; Rob Larkin and Joey Plummer from Morrisville; Dominic Heller, Trevor Kotrady, and Spencer Dandurand from Castleton; Chris Chiarella, Eduardo Figueroa, and Dylan Drueger from Potsdam.
The Hawks will travel to Wells College for a non-conference match on September 5.

Hello to Karen, Nealey and Jen.
The water (as it was actually in front of me) was swirling around at speed so it would feel unsettling as there are very few straight lines to calm the eye down.No warm colour was used either.
Jen...I live at the top of a hill. the river Welland flows in the valley. Before the local council drained the water meadows near the town bridge they were regularly flooded to a depth of four feet which meant the adjoining lower level premises were always flooded. The town was actually an inland port at one time...the river was tidal. I am always amazed at the strength and power of water at speed.
feel free to make constructive c/c...no digital alterations please
Sarah, your river has a moody characteristic. It must be early morning or late evening. It is all about the water, which is what we are also concerned with this spring. Lovely colours.
Bonnie C & C most welcome / appreciated
I did a little work on the bike trail today before work. Tried a looser style. Anyone else working on something?
C&Cs always welcome
Karen, nice start on the bike trail. All those greens and trees are always a challenge. I liked this reference too. So far I am still working in clay but will probably get down to painting again soon. There are several I want to do but time sure does fly! Hopefully everyone will be feeling better this month.
Jen C & C's always welcome
Here is my version of Bob. Cp on Strathmore Gray Scale paper 9x12. You may not recognize him but this is the best portrait I have done to date.The paper is black but I was taking this inside because of the down pour out side and picked up a little flare.
C and C always welcomed
Gerri, I agree this is your best portrait and a wonderful portrait. You got a good likeness and very effective on the black paper!
The March Gallery is up!
Karen, great start on you bike trail. Nice soft green foliage.
Geri, wonderful portrait of Bob. Yes, it is your best so far. The effect of the pc on the black paper is very good.
Jen and Bonnie thank you for your comment on the Bike path. I'm not happy with the greens but will play with it some more. Jen I'm looking forward to the clay Bunny. I hope you have enough clay.
Geri good job on Bob. I love the black paper. This was not an easy one and the angle and lighting make it all the more difficult. I think if you darken the inside bottom of right eye and lower his top lip to give more mustache it may add to the likeness. You really got close on his eye color. They are a beautiful blue. Great job Geri.
Jen, Bonnie ,and Karen thank you for your comments. They are all appreciated. I agree that there is some room for improvement especially around the mouth. I have run into the problem of the surface of the paper is overworked and won't take any more color. Also the actual picture does not look that splotchy. I will try and get a better photo when the weather clears.
Just curious Karen did you show it to Bob and if so what did he say?? Good or bad won't hurt my feelings
The bike trail is coming right along. Looks more impressionistic than you normally paint.
Karen I see you tried Bob too. You had trouble with the creases under his eyes too. Hard to do and not bet them too black. Good try.
Sarah great little WC of the bridge and river. Nice and free. A little darker than you normally work.
I did show it to Bob. He was really excited to know someone chose his picture to paint. He thought it was wonderful.
Geri thanks for the comments. I am still trying to find my style. Its great to experiment.
I agree the lines under Bobs eyes are too dark. I have tried to sketch Bob from life and can't seem to get it. This was my first try from a picture without using grids. Portraits are not so easy. The slightest line too light or dark or a little off and it is someone else. His was the first face I tried to sketch and I'm not sure it was human. At least now it has some likeness. I guess it comes down to practice, practice, practice.
Went to my first oil painting class tonight. He teaches to start with an underpainting. This is the start of the pic with the sun under the trees in my golf couse pic.

Midwest Living Review
The Rhapsody Spa is part of the newly renamed Delton Grand Resort and Spa complex, which sits on the shores of picturesque Lake Delton. Although open to the public, most clients are guests in one of the Delton Grand units. In fact, a lot of Dell's vacationers are unaware of the spa's existence, possibly because its entrance is at the rear of one of the Delton Grand buildings, right next to an underground parking garage. Once inside, though, the small facility is attractive and inviting, decked out in neutral shades of brown and sage.
Choose from a wide variety of services: massages, facials, mani-pedis and wraps. A couple's massage is the most popular option. A three-season room akin to a back porch is used for peaceful al fresco treatments, and when the weather is good, guests can enjoy yoga sessions on the beach.
Prices are on the high side, but typical for a resort area. A 50-minute Swedish massage costs $110, and a 50-minute pedicure runs $55. The only drawback is the spa's compact size. There isn't a big relaxation area, nor is there room for group manicures or pedicures, but overall, Rhapsody delivers relaxation.

"At the show, Van Pelt opted to offer up new tracks such as 'Miscalculations' and 'Everything Works' in a near-pitch black room, with only flickering laser lights outlining his body enough for the audience to see him. While that might have enraged photographers, it played to the strength of the throbbing beats and helped create a distinct mood for Van Pelt's newfound niche of late-night dance club soundtracks."
