Hagstrom is a company with a rich history. Originally a Swedish importer of accordions, the company made history in 1958 when they became the first mass-producers of professional electric guitars outside the United States. Staying true to their past, Hagstrom would deck their electric guitars out in fantastic finishes that were reminiscent of the accordion designs at the time. To this day, they continue to put their own unique spin on the electric guitar that is enjoyed by professionals and hobbyists alike. With over half a century of experience, Hagstrom has developed quite a reputation in the music world. This reputation has led them to work with a seriously impressive list of musicians, from legends to up-and-comers. Ever wonder what artists like Big Country, Max Helyer from You Me At Six, Pat Smear, and Rod Gonzales of Die Ärzte all have in common? They all hit the stage playing beautiful Hagstrom guitars.
Pat Smear is an especially passionate Hagstrom player. Amassing an impressive collection of these guitars, he has recently worked with the company to produce his own Pat Smear Signature Electric Guitar. Built to Pat's exact specifications (right down to the color and the shape!), this guitar is everything you could want in a stage-ready axe. With the Hagstrom "Custom 58" pickups leading the charge, this versatile instrument roars to life with uncompromising tone, as well as incredible attack and sustain. If you're a fan of Pat's work with Nirvana, The Foo Fighters, or even the Germs, then this is the guitar for you.
That's not all Hagstrom has to offer, though. Their versatile collection of guitars is certain to satisfy any player looking for a new instrument. Are you after a gorgeous solid body guitar with plenty of character? Check out the Super Swede Tremar Electric Guitar. With its coil-tapped humbuckers and revolutionary neck design, this guitar is nothing short of a joy to play. Maybe you'd prefer a hollowbody design? Then plug into the Jazz Model Hl-550 Hollowbody Electric Guitar. This breathtaking beauty is highlighted by a mahogany resonant hollowbody that, combined with the floating custom HF-50 humbucker pickup, provides incredibly warm and rich tones. Sure to capture the hearts and imaginations of guitarists everywhere, you'll love having this instrument in your collection.
And to be honest, that is only scratching the surface of what Hagstrom offers. Regardless of the choice you make, you can be sure of one thing: when you're playing a Hagstrom guitar, you're playing a truly special instrument. That is a fact that will ring out with every note you play.

I had the chance to speak with former Bills general manager Bill Polian over at ESPN the Friday before the Bills 50-17 loss to the Seahawks in Toronto. I want to stress that's when this interview took place, but I think much of what he had to say still reflects his feelings on this team. He's now an analyst for ESPN after being fired in Indianapolis.
We covered quite a bit of ground in the interview, but I thought you might be interested in hearing what he had to say about where things stand with the team now and what he thinks the right course is for the franchise moving forward.
With the fans and many members of the media calling for change, particularly at head coach and quarterback, the architect of the Bills Super Bowl teams took a less popular and more patient view. He said there's been too much change over the years and suggested staying the course and continuing to build the roster would be the right course. He even said he thinks it's possible for the Bills to win with Ryan Fitzpatrick at quarterback.
In the event there is change, I also asked him if he would be interested in returning to Buffalo. It's a question that many fans have wondered about as Polian was inducted onto the Bills Wall of Fame this season... and he seemed to leave the door open on his end.

Miss President: NAMI Welcomes Keris Myrick
By Courtney Reyers, NAMI Publications Manager
Keris Jän Myrick is the newly elected president on the NAMI Board of Directors. She has served on the national board for many years in various capacities, and has been active with NAMI since her release from a California hospital, after which she went to NAMI San Gabriel Valley for support.
[NAMI San Gabriel Valley] really rallied around me and invited me to get on the board, Keris remembers. I got ushered in and I found the work and the people interesting. I knew very little about mental health and mental illness, and they helped me learn.
After moving to the west coast, Keris found herself not only dealing with shifting diagnoses around her illnesses (OCD and schizoaffective disorder, today), but also stuck in the mire of navigating the American mental health care system. She had no family and few friendsbarely any support. NAMI helped her get through her recovery and manage her illness. It was difficult but also served as a key motivator. I can say how horrible things are, but that doesn't help me change it, Keris says of the mental health care system. And I want to change things.
What does changing things mean? For Keris, its a three-pronged approach: breaking down barriers of stigma, reaching younger families as well as older populations and changing our countrys approach to mental health care.
As a girl growing up in an east coast African American family, Keris says it was hard for her family to know how to distinguish between what was developmentally normal for a child or a teen and what where indicators of her illnesses to come. [My family] had concerns around privacy and stigma, not airing dirty laundry--just taking care of it at home. Keris says. Keris believes family and social support are key to recovery management.
What I saw at the NAMI Annual Convention in Seattle [in July] was many more young people and young families, Keris says. We need to continue to attract them. We need to think about how we deliver our education programs, how younger people learn and use different types of supports, we need to reach the young folks who are trying to find their identities and cope with mental illness. How can we help them not get stuck in that way?
A wide array of services and supports are needed in communities across the country to handle mental health care needs. The health care situation also needs to evolve so that everyone has access to care when they need it.
Our convention was a great indicator of our ability to think broadly about how can a person achieve recovery, resiliency and wellness, Keris says. We should always be asking what does mental health care actually look like? What do people need to achieve wellness with a holistic approach?
Keris has a lot of plans, not only as the executive director at the Project Return Peer Support Network in Commerce, Calif., but also as NAMI BOD president. I would love to see how our education programs are keeping families in tact, Keris says. Explore how can we come together and learn from each other versus segregating the way we do it nowwe have peer programs and family programs, but how can we put the two groups together so that we can have one voice of education and advocacymuch like we do in the NAMI Basics and NAMI Provider education programs? Thats what I want to see.
In October 2011, Keris spoke to the New York Times about living with mental illness. Watch the video on how Keris manages her illnesses. For Keris full bio, go here .

POTSDAM The Orchestra of Northern New York will present the classic 20th century Russian fairy tale Peter and the Wolf at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at SUNY Potsdams Hosmer Hall.
The concert will also feature pianist Noah P. Landers, 15, of Watertown, winner of the seventh annual James and Katherine Andrews Young Artist Instrumental Competition.
Noah is the son of William and Vicki Landers of Watertown. He is a sophomore at Carthage Central High School. His mother is a psychologist for the Carthage Central School District.
The family concert will begin with Modest Mussorgskys Night on Bald Mountain. This piece was chosen by Walt Disney for the animated film, Fantasia, in which evil spirits and restless souls dance and fly through the air until driven back to their graves by the sound of an Angelus bell as night fades into dawn.
The orchestra will then accompany Noah as he performs the first movement of Camille Saint-Sa�nss Piano Concerto No. 2 in G Minor. Saint-Sa�ns was a 19th century French composer.
Completing the first half of the evening will be John Williamss suite from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
After intermission, the orchestra will present Sergei Prokofievs Peter and the Wolf with narration by North Country Public Radios Todd Moe. The suite is known for introducing children to orchestra instruments.
Peter and the Wolf was commissioned by the Central Childrens Theater in Moscow in 1936. It has seen many adaptations and revised settings including the 1946 Disney cartoon of the same name. Most recently, in 2008, a British-Polish production won the Academy Award for best animated short film.
The orchestra, celebrating its 25th year, consists of approximately 60 professional musicians from New York, New England, Canada, and a few highly talented students, by audition, from the Crane School of Music.

HARRISVILLE A Harrisville woman was charged Tuesday by state police with filing a false written statement in connection with information she allegedly gave police about a fatal accident last April.
Jenna E. Palmer, 26, Harrisville, was arrested following an investigation into her statement about the fatal one-vehicle accident on April 29 on South Creek Road in the town of Diana that claimed the life of Tyler A. Lyndaker, 23, Long Pond Road, Croghan.
Ms. Palmer, a bartender at the Harrisville Rod & Gun Club, told police that Jacob W. Campeau, 31, Van Amber Road, Castorland, was the driver of the vehicle that crashed. But the investigation determined Mr. Lyndaker was behind the wheel, Detective Daniel G. Tordy said.
The two men had been drinking at the clubs restaurant before the crash happened, he said. The accident occurred around the corner from there when the vehicle went off the road and struck a tree, ejecting Mr. Lyndaker.
Ms. Palmer gave a statement that she saw Mr. Campeau get into the drivers seat, but a witness told investigators he was the passenger. Blood evidence from the accident scene also proved Mr. Campeau was not driving, Detective Tordy said. He said he does not know why she gave the incorrect information.
Ms. Palmer was ordered to return to Diana Town Court to answer to the charge.

Naval Academy Honors Battle of Midway Veterans
Posted on: June 06, 2013 08:00 EDT by Jessica Clark
The four empty chairs at the front of the crowd gathered for the Naval Academy's Battle of Midway Commemoration Ceremony June 5 served as a stark reminder that what Tom Brokaw famously called the "greatest generation" is fading.
But not from the annals of history.
The ceremony, which took place adjacent to the academy's Battle of Midway Memorial Monument outside Bancroft Hall, is held annually to remember and honor the men who fought in one of the most important naval battles in the U.S. Pacific Campaign during World War II.
The empty chairs were reserved for World War II veterans, many of whom have attended the Annapolis ceremony in the past.
"It's important we acknowledge and recognize the significance of the Battle of Midway not only in our naval history but in our national history," said professor emeritus of history Craig Symonds.
Naval Academy Superintendent Vice Adm. Michael Miller spoke about Commodore Dixie Kiefer, a 1918 graduate of the Naval Academy and executive officer of the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown during the Battle of Midway. When Yorktown was sunk during the battle, Kiefer shattered his right leg and ankle while leaping from the ship. Despite his injuries, he helped sailors into a life raft and swam, pushing the raft to another ship for rescue.
"He embodied exactly what we expect from our graduates," said Miller.
Symonds went on to talk about other key players in the attack on the Japanese carriers at Midway.
Capt. Joseph Rochefort was the cryptographer who helped partially decode Japanese intelligence traffic and convinced Adm. Chester Nimitz that the Japanese planned to attack the Midway Atoll in late May or early June despite arguments from other intelligence officers that the Japanese were going to attack somewhere else in the Pacific and later in the summer.
In the wake of the physical and emotional turmoil left by the attack on Pearl Harbor and with limited assets, Nimitz made "the bold decision" to send his carriers 300 miles north of Midway, said Symonds.
The other two men Symonds mentioned were pilots Clarence Wade McClusky and Richard Best.
McClusky was the USS Enterprise air group commander. Leading his scout bombers in search of the Japanese carriers, he made the critical tactical decision to continue the search knowing his planes would run out of fuel before they could get back to the Enterprise. He finally spotted the wake of a single carrier which led the squadrons to the other Japanese ships.
In the confusion of the ensuing battle, all of the aircraft attacked the Japanese carrier Kaga, leaving the Akagi free. At the last second, Best noticed this and broke off with his two wingmen to attack the Akagi, landing a fatal bomb in the middle of the ship's flight deck.
If Best hadn't taken action, the Akagi would have survived unscathed and changed the outcome of the battle, said Symonds. "In that two minutes, the course of the Pacific War had changed."
"Luck, chance, providence if you would, all play a role in the events of man. But sometimes luck is a product of the decisions that we make," said Symonds. "Whether it's Joe Rochefort or Chester Nimitz or Wade McClusky or Richard Best - or thousands of others like them who made small decisions throughout this battle, they are the ones who fought and won the Battle of Midway.
"They are the ones we here today to honor," he said.

Subject to the terms and conditions of these Official Rules, a check in the amount of the prize, net of any withholding or other taxes or assessments required or permitted to be withheld by the Beneficiary under applicable federal, state or local laws, rules or regulations, will be mailed to the prize winner within fifteen (15) days after the Foundation has verified the winning Raffle ticket and prize winner has satisfied all terms and conditions of these Official Rules, including return of all forms and documents, as defined in Section 5(b) below, to Sponsor. Beneficiary is required to withhold federal taxes in accordance with IRS regulations, and will do so as a pre-condition of winner receiving prize money.

The winning Raffle ticket number will be (i) announced over the Arena's public announcement system and displayed on a scoreboard before the conclusion of the third (3rd) period of the Game, (ii) posted at the Raffle Table in Section 102 after the public announcement system/scoreboard announcement, and (iii) posted on the Wild website (www.wild.com) for a period of sixty (60) days after the Game. The potential winner does not need to be present to win. In the case of a discrepancy between the announced winning Raffle ticket number and the actual winning Raffle ticket number, the actual number will be considered to be the valid and winning ticket number.

b. In order to claim the prize, the holder of the winning Raffle ticket must go in person with the original winning raffle ticket to either (i) the Raffle Table in Section 102 of the Arena prior to the end of the third (3rd) period of the Game or (ii) the Foundation's office (at the address in Section 2 above) during the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday (federal and state holidays excluded), on or before a date that is thirty (30) days after the Game (the "Prize Expiration Date"), and surrender the original winning Raffle ticket and follow the procedures below.

The Affidavit/Release and IRS Form W-9 must be executed and delivered to the authorized Foundation representative at the time of surrender of the original winning Raffle ticket.
c. The winning Raffle ticket is subject to verification at the sole discretion of Foundation. Raffle tickets that are stolen, counterfeit, fraudulent, tampered with, defective, illegible, reproduced (including without limitation, copies), mutilated, altered or otherwise irregular in any way are not eligible. Only Raffle tickets obtained as described in these Official Rules shall be deemed to have been obtained legitimately. Anti-fraud detection devices may be used for verification purposes. Raffle tickets will be void if they fail to pass anti-fraud detection measures, or, if determined by Foundation in its sole discretion, to be unauthorized, ineligible, illegitimately obtained, or if they contain an unauthorized message, code, number or other marking not issued by Foundation for use in the Raffle, or if they contain printing, typographical or other mechanical errors or are printed or produced in error, or are illegible, or unreadable or blank. Foundation shall have no liability or obligation to the holder of any void Raffle ticket. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Foundation may, at its sole discretion and without obligation, elect to replace a void Raffle ticket with another one upon request, while supplies last. Foundation reserves the right to inspect and examine any void Raffle ticket prior to issuing a replacement. Replacements will be issued at Foundation's sole discretion and will be denied in the event of non-compliance with these Official Rules.

e. The odds of winning a Raffle prize depend on the number of valid tickets sold to eligible purchasers.
f. If by reason of printing or other error, more than one prize winning Raffle ticket number is claimed in this Raffle, all eligible participants making purportedly valid claims for the prize will be included in a random drawing to award the prize. No more than one (1) prize will be awarded in the Raffle. Inclusion in such drawing shall be each participant's sole and exclusive remedy under such circumstances.

Reformation Day on Hallowe'en
Luther railed against the extravagences of the Pope, 'whose wealth today is greater than the wealth of the richest Crassus', and repudiated purgatory and indulgences, insisting that salvation is by faith in Christ alone: it was certainly not for sale, and the Pope of Rome had absolutely no authority to absolve buyers from anything they justly had coming to them. The protest, as we know, spread throughout Germany, and reached France, Italy and England. Thanks to the advent of the printing press, tens of thousands would go on to read On the Babylonian Captivity of the Church, and On the Freedom of a Christian in Luther's own time.
And today we remember this.
Or perhaps not.
One might hope that the United Kingdom will commemorate the 500th anniversary of this momentous event in 2017 (if, indeed, the Kingdom is still united in five years time), but until then we're stuck with pumpkins, skeletons, witches and trick-or-treating. Hallowmas has been stripped of its Christian origins and the festival has returned to its Celtic pagan roots. And yet the collecting of 'soul cakes' and the ringing of bells for the departed in purgatory are as pointless as Tetzel's indulgences. One wonders what Luther would now make of it all.
The Christian response? Well, you could ignore it, like most Christians do All Saints' Day. You could tell the trick-or-treaters that salvation is to be found in Christ alone and they're going to hell if they continue to consort with the Devil and watch Harry Potter. Or you could participate in the cultural phenomenon, for a candle in a pumpkin is not an invocation to the demons of hell.
Father Gabriele Amorth, exorcist-in-chief at the Vatican, has said: "If English and American children like to dress up as witches and devils on one night of the year that is not a problem. If it is just a game, there is no harm in that."
One wonders if he holds the same generous view of those children who like to dress up as Luther, Zwingli, Calvin, Foxe, Huss, Knox or His Grace to celebrate Reformation Day..

I'm in the market for a handgun. I'm looking at Glocks, SIGs, Berettas, Springfields, etc. Anybody care to share what they shoot and why?

Re: Pistols
My first bit of advice is not to buy a model you haven't shot before. Some ranges will have guns you can rent, or you can go shooting with people who have pistols you want to try out before you settle on one. Each person you ask will have a different opinion on which manufacturer makes the best handgun and which caliber reigns supreme. It all comes down to this: which platform best allows you to quickly and accurately put rounds on target?
Personally, I do my best with an M9A1 (Beretta 9mm). I've shot a wide range of pistols from .38 specials to Desert Eagles, and I'm most comfortable and consistent with the M9 (more or less the same as the 92FS). If I had a bigger budget I may have sprung for the more expensive Sig P226, but the M9 had a good price point and since I'm not a SEAL the M9 will be my standard sidearm after I get my commission.
The blog Gear Scout just ran a good article for people looking into 1911's a few days ago that's worth checking out.
Whatever you end up getting- practice is the key. Going over the fundamentals of proper aiming, breathing, grip, and stance will make the tool in your hands an effective one.
Re: Pistols
I like to shoot the breeze - and sometimes I will do it while shooting from the hip, I once thought about trying to shoot for the moon, then found it easier while talking nonsense to shoot the works.
The previous post from BigTex sums it up. You can get opinions - but that gets you no where. Do your best to find a shoot club and see if you can try different handguns; I have a friend who luvs to shoot Glock, I personnaly do not and prefer other weapons I have shot. So now that you know this, all you know is one person you have never met knows someone who loves Glock handguns, while that person does not. You can also read reviews, and other than qulity and craftsmanship points, you still do not know how the gun shoots while in your hands as you look down the sights...
You have to find a hangun that fits you, and there is a long list of versions and calibers that you have to choose from and sample - it should be a fun journey as long as you shoot staright and keep your powder dry.

Re: Pistols
Thanks. I've shot a Glock often and I like the light weight and sights, however I DON'T like the fact that there is no external safety aside from what they call a safety on the trigger. I also recently qualified with an M9 and I liked it. Most of the people I talk to prefer a Glock and, for the most part, I can see why. But I think it would be a better bet to have a pistol that has that double-action capability as well as a hammer. Granted, a SIG P226 can also fit that category but I've never fired one and I agree with bigtex in the fact that I should shoot a handgun before I purchase it. Also, I may elect to conceal carry whatever handgun I get, so size might be an issue so the Glock 19 may be a better choice than the Glock 17, 21 or SIG P226 or M9. I just have to shoot around and see what I like.
Re: Pistols
Why are you looking for a handgun? Answer that question first, then look for a platform to fit that purpose. If you have several different missions in mind, then you might end up purchasing several different firearms.
I'm a fairly big guy, living in a region that requires a jacket for most of the year, and I mostly just shoot IDPA, but I also keep self-defense and concealed carry in mind. I use a Les Baer 1911 Premier II (45 ACP) and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the heck out of it, but that doesn't mean it's necessarily the right gun for YOU and/or YOUR purpose. I feed it handmade custom loads through Tripp Research cobra magazines (8R-45-RG-BPA with alloy bases). A smaller guy in a warmer climate might not be able to get away with concealed carry of a 1911 and might want to look at something smaller.
I'll also probably be looking for a single-action revolver this winter so I can start shooting SASS next year. That looks like loads of fun! (pardon the pun)
If you're going to shoot handguns and plan to be proficient at it, you should seriously look into reloading your own ammo. I EASILY blow through 200-300 rounds every week just by myself. Some weeks I've even fired over 600 rounds. That could get ridiculously expensive if you're only buying factory ammo, especially if it's 45 ACP.
Also, if you reload, you can customize your loads and experiment a little to find what bullet (manufacturer/brand, type, shape, weight), powder (manufacturer/brand, type, weight), and primer combinations work best in your specific gun. While there is a bigger upfront cost because of the tools you'll need to purchase, you'll be able to shoot more for less and you'll make your money back fairly quickly.
Don't buy junk (guns or reloading equipment). It might be cheaper in the short term, but you might regret it in the long term. Quality, consistency, dependability, and accuracy are much more important considerations than price for me, and there are some cheap guns out there. This doesn't mean buy the most expensive gun you can find, but rather find the best gun for the value. If you have to save a little more and wait a little longer, do it, it's worth the wait.
Finally, when cleaning your pistol, I recommend that you don't use anything that's as hard or harder than the steel of the firearm. I use bronze cleaning rods and brushes and avoid steel cleaning tools. A scratch in the barrel is not a good thing and it's completely avoidable. I also use a plastic wrench for the recoil spring plug/button instead of a steel one to avoid marring the gun. I go through a lot of plastic wrenches, but they're pretty cheap.
The bottom line is that when the feces hits the rotating oscillator, I want to have 110% confidence in my firearm, the magazines feeding it, the ammo being used, and my proficiency.
Re: Pistols
FWIW - I have the Walther P99AS. AS is the "Anti-Stress" model which has a DA trigger for the first shot and SA trigger for all subsequents shots to prevent accidental discharges in stressful situations. It has an internal trigger with a decock button on the slide. I love that it comes with three interchangable backstraps as well that let me fit it to my hand. But the thing I loved the most about this pistol is that from the first time I picked it up, it was (and still is) the most acurate pistol I have ever fired. Now, I do not go to the range all the time or have a lot of training (yet), so it may not be as impressively accurate to someone with access to higher quality models and years of training, but it works great for me.
The only dislike I have is that it is not sized well for CC. It doesn't seem to be any larger than comprable pistols, but they have come out with a single stack CC version that I have my eyes on.
Of course, as others have said, with pistols, everyone needs to find one that fits them.
Re: Pistols
I recently purchased a 9mm Glock 17. I LOVE IT! Great weight, Minimum recoil, Easy to clean and simple to strip. I would go with a Glock. Plus the Metal slide and Plastic grip base is a nice carry combination weight wise.
Re: Pistols
In regards to caliber, make sure you consider the cost of ammunition and what you're willing to spend for an hour out on the shooting range. 9mm is about half the price of .40. Practice develops muscle memory so the more rounds you can [correctly] sling at a paper target the better off you'll be.
Another great military benefit in Texas is you don't have to pay for processing or background check on your CHL- leaving just the cost of the class.

According to local media, the South Korean sergeant who killed five comrades and wounded seven others on Saturday has been surrounded at an elementary school after exchanging fire with authorities, as a tense standoff mounts. SOUTH KOREAN DEFENCE MINISTRY SPOKESMAN KIM MIN-SEOK: According to Korea's Yonhap News Agency, one soldier was injured in the shootout Sunday. Authorities are now negotiating with the sergeant. A military spokesperson told reporters, "There was a shootout in which about 10 shots were fired in an area just north of South Korea's civilian passage restriction line.We're currently persuading him to surrender."
Asian shares rose on Friday, taking their cue from a jump in oil prices as well as gains on Wall Street after minutes of the Federal Reserve's latest meeting led investors to further pare bets that the central bank will hike interest rates this year. The Fed minutes revealed the extent to which policymakers are concerned that a global economic slowdown might threaten the U.S. economic outlook. Though they said overseas turmoil had not "materially altered" economic prospects, they opted to hold interest rates steady last month.
A witness in the trial of an eccentric former Virginia political candidate charged with murdering three people over an 11-year span identified him on Thursday as the gunman who shot the last of the victims. On the opening day of testimony, witness Janet Franko named the suspect, Charles Severance, 55, as the man who shot music teacher Ruthanne Lodato last year. The three seemingly random killings in the Washington suburb of Alexandria fed fears that a serial killer was loose in the U.S. capital area.
Walter Scott was unarmed and maybe 15 yards away, just beyond an old tree, when the first dry popping sound rang out. Officer Michael Slager, standing calmly on the path, let off at least seven shots. One round pierced Scott's back and traveled through his heart, likely killing him instantly. Slager has been indicted on murder charges and is being held without bail in protective custody. The trial is months away. However, city officials have reached an out-of-court settlement with the Scott family and agreed to pay a reported $6.5 million.
Officials in Beijing have expressed concern after the United States signalled it was poised to up the ante in the South China Sea by sending warships through waters claimed by China. Citing a senior US official, the Financial Times reported on Thursday that American navy vessels are preparing to sail through a 12-nautical mile zone around the disputed Spratly islands that China claims as its own territory. The newspaper added those manoeuvres are expected to begin over the next two weeks. Hua Chunying, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson, said: "We hope the United States can look upon the current situation of the South China Sea from an objective and fair perspective and play a constructive role together with China in keeping the peace and stability in the South China Sea."
Selena Gomez credits her good friend Taylor Swift for "pulling me out of my shell." thanks to the pop star's strong focus on female empowerment. In a new interview with Billboard magazine, Selena says she's slowly but surely letting herself be more free, and it's largely thanks to Taylor and their close-knit group of female friends. She says, "Taylor makes me feel empowered, like I can trust new people... The way she cares about women is so adamant. It's pulling me out of my shell."

Robbins pistons
Just purchased a 1948 Chief that was supposedly rebuilt: don't believe it! Looks like someone may have put in new Robbins M-1500 pistons std. size but used old rings and didn't hone the cylinders! The good news is there is virtually no discernible wear (out of round or taper) on the cylinders themselves. The pistons look almost brand new with the "std." marking on each crown found facing toward each cylinder's intake valve. Question is whether the orientation of the pistons is correct. These are solid skirt pistons.....no T-slot or apparent offset....so I'm wondering if orientation really matters. I hate to take for granted that the previous owner/rebuilder did things right and simply follow their mistakes.

2006 Year in review
A lighthearted look at the climate science goings-on over the last year:
Best highlight of the gap between the 'two cultures':
Justice Scalia: 'Troposphere, whatever. I told you before I'm not a scientist. That's why I don't want to have to deal with global warming' .
Least effective muzzling of government climate scientist by a junior public affairs political appointee:
George Deutsch met his match in Jim Hansen.
Most puzzling finding that has yet to be replicated:
Worst reported story and least effectual follow-up press release:
Best (err… only) climate science documentary on public release:
An Inconvenient Truth.
Most worn out contrarian cliche:
Previously prominent contrarian cliche curiously not being used any more:
"The satellites show cooling"
Most bizarre new contrarian claim:
"Global warming stopped in 1998″.
By the same logic, it also stopped in 1973, 1983, and 1990 (only it didn't).
Most ironic complaint about 'un-balanced' climate coverage on CNN:
Pat Michaels (the most interviewed commentator by a factor of two) complaining that he doesn't get enough exposure.
Most dizzying turn-around of a climate skeptic:
Fred Singer "global warming is not happening" (1998,2000, 2002, 2005) to global warming is "unstoppable" (2006)
Best popular book on the climate change:
Elizabeth Kolbert's "Field Notes from a Catastrophe"
Least unexpected observations:
(Joint winners) 2006 near-record minima in Arctic sea ice extent, near-record maxima in Northern Hemisphere temperatures, resumed increase in ocean heat content, record increases in CO2 emissions
Best resource for future climate model analyses:
PCMDI database of IPCC AR4 simulations. The gift that will keep on giving.
Best actual good news:
Methane concentrations appear to have stabilised. Maybe they can even be coaxed downward….
Biggest increase in uncertainty as a function of more research:
Anything to do with aerosols.
Least apologetic excuse for getting a climate story wrong:
Newsweek explains its 1975 'The Cooling World' story.
Most promising newcomer on the contrarian comedy circuit:

Operators at the Braidwood Generating Station declared and terminated an unusual event late at Braidwood Station this morning.
BRACEVILLE, Ill. - Operators at the Braidwood Generating Station declared and terminated an unusual event late this morning when a temporary hose used for maintenance work ruptured, placing water on two of the station's four auxiliary feed pumps before the hose could be shut off.
Both Braidwood units continued to operate safely and at full power during this event. The station has four auxiliary feedwater pumps, two for each unit. One pump on each unit remains available for use.
The Unusual Event was declared at 10:26 a.m. and terminated at 11:22 a.m.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requires a station to declare an Unusual Event when water has the potential to affect safety related equipment needed for plant operations. Auxiliary feedwater pumps are backup safety-related equipment, and technicians are working to return them to service.
Exelon Nuclear personnel notified all appropriate federal, state and local government officials of the Unusual Event, the lowest of four emergency classifications as defined by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Braidwood Generating Station is approximately 60 miles southwest of Chicago. The station's two nuclear energy units can produce a total of more than 2,300 megawatts net at full power - enough electricity to power more than 2 million homes.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with more than $18 billion in annual revenues. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 490,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.

- Chipolte and Sea salt are good grown up flavors for dark chocolate. I would have liked it a little darker to bring out the chipotle. The pop rocks just caught me off guard and made it more like a kids candy than a chocolate bar. But overall very good flavor.

I've tried almost all of the bars and several of the truffles, all of it very good and definitely a more upscale chocolate.

CAPE VINCENT Voters for Wind has been accused of receiving financial assistance from BP Wind Energy by an attorney representing Cape Vincents town government.
Members of the pro-wind power group, however, denied the allegation Thursday, calling it a bold-faced lie meant to discourage the state Public Service Commission from awarding Cape Vincent Wind Farm intervenor funding to Voters for Wind.
The town is concerned that special interest groups, such as Voters for Wind, may request funding for expert opinions, perhaps for the purpose of denying or limiting funds that might otherwise go to parties that are perceived to be critical of BPs project, said Paul J. Curtin Jr., an attorney with Shulman Curtin & Grundner, Syracuse, in his letter sent Wednesday to Jeffrey C. Cohen, PSCs acting secretary.
Under state law, BP is required to provide $99,750 in intervenor funding that municipalities and local parties can apply for to hire experts to participate in the project applications review. While these funds may not be used to cover litigation costs, the money can be used to prepare for legal action.
Of the money, 50 percent is reserved for municipalities.
We question the legitimacy of distributing BPs intervenor funds to a group that is already affiliated and funded by BP, Mr. Curtin said.
But Voters for Wind members argued Mr. Curtins claim is unfounded and they are entitled to intervenor money as much as anyone else.
Its a bold-faced lie, said Gary J. King, a founding member of Voters for Wind. Weve never been offered money and we get absolutely zero money from BP.
He said Voters for Wind is funded entirely through member dues and fundraisers.
We feel were entitled to intervenor funds, even more so than the Cape Vincent town government, he said, adding it seems the Town Councils only concern is to block wind development.
Julia E. Gosier, another member of Voters for Wind, said she has not read Mr. Curtins letter but echoed Mr. Kings sentiments.
There is absolutely no reason Voters for Wind shouldnt be qualified for funding, she said.
The state departments of Public Service and Environmental Conservation will hold a preapplication conference to consider intervenor funding requests at 7 p.m. May 21 in Cape Vincent Elementary Schools auditorium, 410 S. Esselstyne St.

Rangers @ Predators
Bridgestone Arena, 8:00 p.m.
Rangers record: 13-10-1
Predators record: 9-8-4
The Rangers conclude their three-game Thanksgiving week road
trip tonight in Nashville
against the Predators, losers of three straight.
The Predators have really struggled to generate offense this
season, especially recently with centers Matthew Lombardi and David Legwand out
due to injury. The club is currently
ranked 28th in goals per game and 27th on the power
play. Wiley veteran Steve Sullivan leads
the team in goals with six, and Patric Hornqvist and Marcel Goc have five
apiece. Cal O'Reilly has four goals and
nine assists to lead the team in points, but as always, the Predators are a
largely no-name club. Pekka Rinne,
pulled in last night's 5-2 loss to Minnesota,
appears likely to make his ninth consecutive start for Nashville. Before last night's effort, Rinne has only given up four goals in his
last four stars. But that's
representative of his season, as Rinne has been up and down all year. The backbone of Nashville as always is the extremely mobile
young defense highlighted by Cody Franson, Shea Weber and Ryan Suter. Suter has missed a lot of games already this
year, and Nashville
has paid because outside of those three, the defense has holes. Shane O'Brien and Francis Bouillon were
essentially picked up off the scrap heap and have had to play major roles for Nashville. With Rinne's inconsistencies and a shallow
defense, Nashville's
ranks of 15th in goals against and 19th on the penalty
kill aren't awful. But the team has to
play a nearly flawless game defensively to overcome its anemic offense.
For the Rangers, the story right now starts and ends with a
very good bounce back game by Henrik Lundqvist last night who picked up his
third shutout of the season. Hank had
been letting in a few too many softies lately, leading to Coach John Tortorella
giving Martin Biron some extra playing time. But Lundqvist's starting job was obviously never in doubt, and the King
got a nice confidence-booster last night. Tortorella also has been tinkering with lines lately and has been aided
by a blossoming Derek Stepan, who is riding a six-game point scoring streak
(three goals, four assists). Stepan has
fit in nicely with Marian Gaborik, and the new left-winger last night, Brandon
Dubinsky. While the line of
Dubinsky/Artem Anisimov/Ryan Callahan has been very productive this season,
Tortorella obviously felt that the trio needed to be spread throughout the
lineup to give the team a little more jump. The Rangers received goals from three different lines last night, so
hopefully the trend continues.
The Blueshirts, labeled a "tired" club by Tortorella, have
an ideal matchup for the close of their road trip. Nashville
has struggled mightily, so if the Rangers can put up a single goal or two, they
might be able to squeeze out two points by falling back into a defensive shell
tonight. In any case it's not likely
that Nashville
will ever be able to put the game out of reach, so the Rangers should be able
to keep it close. Tortorella would
probably be satisfied with a third point on the road trip, given his comments
about the club, but the Rangers do have a golden opportunity for a second win.
- Michal Rozsival is set to return to the lineup tonight,
likely at the expense of Matt Gilroy.
- Old Ranger fan-favorite Petr Prucha was waived by Phoenix on Thanksgiving and assigned to the AHL

In the six dive division for the boys, Dino Christian Johnston ended up in third place. For the girl's Carbon's Trevyn Hepworth took second out of 10 other divers.
Coach Stew Foster was pleased with the improvement Johnston and Hepworth are making. They both improved their scores from previous meets.

It pains me to see that the turn out for voting in the county was at 39.66 percent for Helper and 30.4 percent for Price.
We talk about supporting our troops who are fighting and dying whether we agree with the war or not. I am disappointed to see that people are not exercising their rights that these men and women are fighting for. For those of us who are well enough to vote we should. For those of you who did not vote, do not complain about the leadership in your area as you were not part of the process of electing these individuals and therefore have no right to complain.
As an individual who served in our Armed Forces I just want to say that if the national average of voters turning out is as bad as it was in our area this country is in sad shape. The only people who honor our constitution and rights as Americans turned out to vote. The rest of you should truly be ashamed of yourselves.
I do understand that there are circumstances that arise that do not make it possible. For those of you who could have made it out and did not I hope you feel good about yourself when you look in the mirror in the morning.
I appreciate my rights and would gladly accept a call to serve if my country needed me again. How many of you would say the same thing?
God Bless the USA and all of its people.

Nourishment doesn't get much better than this. Chickpeas, potatoes and spices with some sweetness from a hint of sugar and tamarind and a bit of sourness from lemon and amchoor — it's a pleasing dish to the eyes and tummy and one that I think works well for an early summer dinner. It's easy to prepare and done in roughly 40 minutes once you have your potatoes and chickpeas cooked and ready to go. The rest of the ingredients are staples that most cooks who enjoy Indian food are likely to have on hand. This rich and rather complex curry will impress your guests, leaving them with the impression that you spent a good while in the kitchen working your culinary magic.
Serve with Indian flatbreads for a complete and satisfying meal to be enjoyed all year round when the craving for chickpeas and potatoes with a spicy kick hits.
This is my contribution to My Legume Love Affair edition #60. This ever popular event was started by lovely Susan of The Well Seasoned Cook. I am now the administer and Nupur of One Hot Stove is kindly hosting this month.
