Definitions for tinderˈtɪn dər
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word tinder
Princeton's WordNet
kindling, tinder, touchwood, spunk, punk(noun)
material for starting a fire
small dry sticks and finely-divided fibrous matter etc., used to help light a fire.
Webster Dictionary
something very inflammable, used for kindling fire from a spark, as scorched linen
Tinder is easily combustible material used to ignite fires by rudimentary methods. A small fire consisting of tinder is then used to ignite kindling. Anything that can be ignited by a match can be considered tinder; or by more rigorous definition, anything that begins to glow under a shower of sparks. The more restrictive definition is important in the study of survival skills, which redefines kindling as material requiring a match to ignite it. Materials commonly used as tinder: ⁕Dry pine needles, leaves or grass ⁕Birch bark ⁕Dead, standing goldenrod ⁕Cloth, lint, or frayed rope ⁕Char cloth ⁕Cotton swabs, tampons ⁕Paper, paper towels, toilet paper, etc. ⁕Dry bread or knäckebröd and shoe polish ⁕Punk wood or charred wood ⁕Some types of fungus ⁕Bird down ⁕Small twigs ⁕Fatwood, also known as rich pine or pine knot. ⁕Fine-grade soap-coated steel wool ⁕Shaved magnesium or other alkaline earth metals Whichever material is used, the thinner it is and the more surface there is, and especially edges, the more easily it will ignite. With wood, this can be achieved by shaving slivers off it. One method to keep these together is to make a feather stick. The best wood from a tree is dead branches that have not fallen to the ground yet.

Sarah Chamberlain
Main Street's President
Activist, entrepreneur, public speaker, Washington D.C. powerbroker, and passionate advocate of women's political engagement — Sarah Chamberlain plays many roles. As President of the Main Street Partnership, Sarah runs an organization that supports the governing wing of the Republican Party in Congress; in the judgment of most political observers, she is the only woman in the country who currently leads a major Republican organization. And as the creator and facilitator of the Women2Women National Conversation Tour, Sarah has become one of the most important national voices calling for women to become involved in the political process.
Sarah's career has been marked by both accomplishment and tragedy. Born in upstate New York, she received her undergraduate degree in accounting from the University of Delaware and her MBA and master's degree in education from Elmira College in New York. She first gained political experience as an assistant to Rep. Amory Houghton Jr., a former CEO of the Corning Glass Company and a six-term member of Congress. She became the first executive director of the John Quincy Adams Society and helped to establish the Main Street Partnership. She has written for the Washington Post, U.S. News & World Report, and other national publications and has appeared on numerous media programs. She recently undertook a course of study in the Women and Public Policy Program at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government.
In 1999, Sarah married Michael Resnick, an agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation assigned to the National Security Council. In 2011, he died of pancreatic cancer at age fifty. The FBI's Michael D. Resnick Terrorist Screening Center is named in his honor.
Sarah built the Main Street Partnership from the fledgling organization founded in 1997 into a thriving network of almost seventy members of Congress and leaders from business, education, and the professions. All of its members share Sarah's commitment to conservative, pragmatic government as well as compassion in our communities and character in our national leaders. Main Street is dedicated to electing and defending legislators who will govern effectively in the Republican tradition. Main Street and its members are solutions-oriented fiscal realists, advancing positive policies that can command bipartisan support.
Sarah's experiences as a woman involved in politics — and her frustrations with Capitol Hill gridlock — led her to start the Women2Women National Conversations Tour in 2014. The tour brings Congresswomen together with bipartisan gatherings of women across the country. Its aim is to spark dialogue between legislators and everyday citizens about how women are personally affected by what happens in government, and to take those ideas back to Washington. Sarah urges women to educate themselves about politics and get involved by voting, taking part in local and national campaigns, and even running for office themselves. She firmly believes that more women participating in politics at all levels will lead to better and less adversarial government.
Sarah Chamberlain is a unique and powerful woman's voice in the American political debate. Follow her posts on Facebook, Twitter, and her Main Street Advocacy blog, or see her on the Women 2 Women Tour.

I took a video which I wish I could post of just how appalling this place was. I read a bad review before I went and assumed it was from a picky, temperamental customer. Nope. She actually UN DERestimated the crappiness of this room. I turned down the first one because there were some kind of black specs scattered about on the sheets of both beds. The second at least had clean sheets, but SO many other problems!! Stains on the chair that they had made no attempt to clean...wallpaper peeling from previous leakage...door handle came off in my hand as I exited the room. NIGHTMARE!!! ...

Service is always good but the hotel is a dump. They seemed to run out of food for their complementary breakfast and not much selection.

The breakfast provided was excellent. The price of the hotel for all that was included was certainly fair and economical. The swimming pool was safe and clean. The rooms were nice sized but could have been cleaner. Overall the place did meet our expectations and was satisfactory.

When I first went to check in clerk was not available. I had to drive around to make sure I was at the right entrance. When he did come in was rude. We got to room turned on light, it blew out. We called front desk, no answer because he was out socializing or whatever with other occupants. The continental breakfast was not enough food for accommodation, never and checking out was the same way. We had to wait for the employee that was supposed to be working. It was very disappointing.

The front desk area was clean,and you can tell their working on the place. Ice machines were out of order except one. I'm glad it was cheap because my exceptions were low.

Attorney General Eric Holder said 'no such thing as too big to jail.'
- Filed Under
Legal and bank analysts reacted with caution and criticism Monday to Attorney General Eric Holder's signaling of potential criminal charges against global banks Credit Suisse and BNP Paribas.
The response came after Holder, speaking in a video posted on the Department of Justice website, warned, "There is no such thing as too big to jail.
"Some have used that phrase to describe the theory that certain financial institutions, even if they engage in criminal misconduct, should be considered immune from prosecution due to their sheer size and their influence on the economy," said Holder. ...

Steelers @ Ravens 2011 keys to victory!!
I wanted to include this in my "preview" thread that was really a recap of the storyline of the 2011 offseason with the Ravens and Steelers. It should be a great one and they usually never disappoint. In any case, here are the keys to victory for both football teams!
Steelers keys to victory:
1.Don't get beat in the backfield with short yardage passes.
2.With Ravens offensive line concerns....I feel the Steelers should take advantage and pull out all kinds of different blitz packages.
3.Force Flacco to win the football game. It usually comes down to who has the better quarterback cuz the games are always close. Be in Flacco's face all day and force him to throw interceptions, bad throws, or simply fumble.
1.Control the clock!! Time of possession is always key in winning football games. In this case, it won't be any different. Obviously, turnovers will play a factor as well.
2.Offensive line don't get called for holding. Those penalties could kill drives and possibly cost the Steelers the game.
3.Come out throwing the football early to open up the rushing lanes. The passing game will play a huge factor in winning this football game. Making them catches to continue drives especially on 3rd down will be key. I have a ton of confidence in this core. In my opinion, the big 5 will cause problems for the defense. Double Wallace at your own risk....other receivers can make the big plays.
Ravens keys to victory:
1.Don't allow Steelers to have success with the running game. They can't afford to not be able to stop the run and not get time of possession.
2.Put one defender on Wallace in the first half so you can focus on other wideouts. If it doesn't work.....make adjustments.
3.Use a ton of zone packages cuz the youth of Steelers wideouts along with the speed will beat the older/slower defense.
1.Offensive line has got to show up and protect Flacco.
2.Come out and have success running the football. It is easier said than done vs Steelers #1 rush defense.
3.It always comes down to quarterback play. Flacco has got his chance to earn some respect and live up to the hype. Top 5 quarterback?
Steelers win.....24-14!!
Surprised??Don't be........STAY JEALOUS!!

Steelers @ Ravens 2011"Put up or Shut up" preview
All the off-season talk from both sides. Mostly Ravens side anyway. I'm gonna give a bit of how the season started last year then go into where we are now.
"People try to make this game between the Ravens and the Steelers like so much of a rivalry, of a fight, you know. You can say it's a rivalry if you like, but for something to be a rivalry, I think both teams have to win equally," Clark told KDKA via the Baltimore Sun. "The hate between the fans doesn't make it a rivalry. Teams have to win equally, and that really hasn't been the case in our situation."
According to Matt Vensel of the Baltimore Sun, Flacco was asked about Eli Manning's comments and responded that he felt the same way Eli did. "I think of myself the same way," he said. "You don't want to talk about yourself as a quarterback, but here in Baltimore, we've won a lot of games in the last three years and we've won playoff games each year. And when you're talking about football games, it's all about winning football games and that's what we've done."

Ravens vs Steelers divisional playoff preview
Ravens vs Steelers......Steelers vs Ravens.......how can I describe this? Intense, blood hungry, smashmouth, best rivalry in football game!! Two of the top 3 football teams in the NFL today!! They will battle in Pittsburgh on Heinz Field. I along with everyone are ready for this football game. We always are when we see that matchup coming. This will be an emotional football game for both teams. Both battling to be the absolute best. PERIOD!! That Manning/Brady rivalry doesn't thrill me as much as the football games I have saw between the Ravens and the Steelers. They've had some classics.
Going into the football game the Ravens blew out the Chiefs. I'm somewhat surprised by it and some way I'm not as well. I didn't see that me turnovers happening. The Ravens are ready to play. They looked like a whole different football team when they were at Arrowhead. I was rooting for the Chiefs and it was hard to watch. Chiefs were one of the best at not giving up the football. Obviously the reason is because they didn't face a football team like the Ravens. They looked like they were making a statement. A statement to all football teams and that is don't sleep on them. They are no pushover by any means. The game against Pittsburgh Saturday may be the best matchup yet. Both teams ended the season with identical records. Steelers won the division due to tiebreaker of division record.
Pittsburgh Steelers ended the season with a blowout win over the Cleveland Browns. At half time the game was over. Pittsburgh made a bit of a statement as well. They clinched the division and home field. Much needed bye week for Pittsburgh to get healthy. No word yet if Aaron Smith will be playing in the ball game. I figure Polamalu will be playing in the football game. In any case both teams last wins were statements. Both teams looked their best vs their opponents. It will for sure be the game of the week.
As a Steelers fan of course I'm picking Pittsburgh. I think they are better defensively and offensively. The keys to victory for Pittsburgh is as follows: Defense don't allow Ravens to have a ground game. If they do that than they will do ok as long as they don't give them free yards meaning penalties. I think the defense can handle Flacco. Ravens side: Be in Roethlisberger's face all game long. Figure their D can handle the rush game unfortunately. Offensively the Steelers would like to have an effective rushing game. Protect Roethlisberger and give him time to throw the football. Do that than I'm certain the Steelers will win the football game. Ravens offensively....running game wouldn't hurt vs the Steelers. If they get a running game and win the battle of time of possession that will give them their best chance to win the football game.
Again I'm picking the Steelers in this one. Should be a classic. Surprised??Don't be........STAY JEALOUS!!

Baltimore vs KC wildcard playoff preview
Kansas City Chiefs is the surprise team of the year. Of course it is an opinion. KC as we all know is led by the running game. Their duo of Thomas Jones and Charles. Both have had great seasons. Both have proved a lot especially Jones to the Jets. Some believed Jones was a product of the Jets offensive line. Obviously that is false. Jets are struggling without him this year.

AFC playoff predictions 2010
I was thinking about not doing this cuz of course the critics. Decided to do it anyways. Here is my AFC playoff predictions in which I will give a breakdown of each game in which why or why not they will win or lose that ball game.
AFC wildcard:
#5 Ravens vs #4 Chiefs-Chiefs ended their season with a loss to the Raiders. Their offense seemed like it couldn't get going vs the Ravens. Of course it can change on any given day. Not the momentum you want coming in vs the Ravens. I think Chiefs got a much tougher matchup than they wanted. Could have faced the New York Jets. Anyways I figure the Chiefs will be able to get the running game going, but mistakes by Matt Cassel will cost them in the end. Ed Reed will snag an INT in this ball game for sure. It will come down to their passing game in the end which again I don't think will win them the game. Figure the experience in the playoffs will be a factor in this ball game. Ravens are the favorite, but anything could happen. They will establish a running game and will make this a ball game. It will be closer than one would think. I say Ravens win 7-10 points.
#6 Jets vs #3 Colts-A team the Jets didn't want to see. Last year we all know what happened. I'm not gonna base my prediction on last year o. Jets have struggled thru their last half of the season. Going 9-2 and losing some games along the way to finally make the playoffs. I don't know if I would say the Jets are far more improved than they were last year. Record wise it shows, but their passing game still stinks, rushing game wasn't what it once was, yada yada yada. I don't think the Jets will rush that well vs the Colts even though they have a history of giving up huge yardage on the ground. Their rush defense has improved not giving up huge numbers to the Titans which is impressive. I think Manning will have a great day and have more than 3 passing TDs. Garcon will have an outstanding performance. Colts will win this ball game. Not big, but they will win by more than 10 points. Ends will be in Sanchez face all day, but I figure that their passing game will be the reason they stay competitive in the game.
AFC Divisional round:
#5 Ravens vs #1 Pats-Figure this will be a good game. It will go down to the very second. Unfortunately I figure the Pats will pull it out to go on to the AFC championship. Thanks to Joe Flacco passing game inconsistant. He will cost the team the game. Not really a lot of breakdown. Everyone knows what to expect. Ravens defense will keep it close. Rice will rush for over 100 yards. Flacco will have a chance to lead his team to victory, but loses in the end thanks to inconsistant play.
#3 Colts vs #2 Steelers-Figure Mendenhall will have a great day on the ground. Home field is always good to have. Figure Pittsburgh passing game won't be much of a factor cuz I figure Colts ends will be in Ben's face all day. It will be important for the offensive line to protect Ben, but I doubt they will which will lead to some short routes to convert on 3rd down. Mendenhall and "RedZone will have a big day. That will be the focus for the Steelers offense. Peyton will throw some INTs in this game and their running game won't be there. Figure it will happen. Big win for Pittsburgh!
AFC Championship:
#2 Steelers vs #1 Patriots-Patriots will be at home and have everyone picking them. Last time around it was a lot different than it will be this time around. Steelers have a new kicker, they may have Aaron Smith, have more than 5 healthy offensive lineman to play the game, Steelers will have far more determination, Steelers are under the radar this time around, no one is picking them which is an advantage for the steelers as well. The list goes on! Fact is this will be a helluva game. Last time Patriots came in with a huge loss to the Ravens which brought out more determination and more of a reason to want to win the ball game. Figure the Steelers didn't take the game seriously enough. Which it is a regular season game of course. Playoffs is where the Steelers play the best. Number 1 defense in the league along with the kicker only missing one field goal since being signed after the Pats game. Impressive if you ask me. Steelers offense looks great. The factor in this game will be to put pressure on Tom Brady. That offensive line holds just as much as Rex Ryan holds his wife's feet. LOL! Maybe this time around the refs will be looking somewhere other than Brady's backside. The way the refs have been calling against the Steelers it finds it more realistic to believe this will be the game that will cost them cuz of the refs. It will happen. I hope Harrison is in Brady's face all game. Can't if a guys yanking on his jersey. If Steelers have Aaron Smith back they may be able to get that pressure on Brady. In any case I believe the Steelers offense will be fine vs the Pats defense. Pittsburgh wins if Brady is pressured which I have confidence that Steelers can get it done this time around. Steelers will go on to the Super Bowl to represent the AFC. 1st to 6.......on a stairway to 7. Surprised??Don't be......STAY JEALOUS!!

AFC playoff predictions/breakdown
I did an NFC already. I wasn't gonna do this, but I decided to do it anyways despite the critics. Who will represent the AFC in the Super Bowl? Been pretty accurate these last few years. Well at least not my preseason predictions, but than again whose is?
I'll state why or why not I'm picking this team to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl.
Jacksonville Jaguars- Still have a shot to make the playoffs, but I'm not picking them to get in. With their starting quarterback David Garrard now on IR ending his season I highly doubt they will even win their last regular season game with Trent Edwards.
New York Jets- The media's pick coming into the season was the Jets. All the talking with the HBO show to the foot fetish. All the talking has come to an end. Now you got to prove it. New York Jets winning the Super Bowl talk all year. Now all the talking will be on the field. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Chiefs upset the Jets. I'm actually picking the Chiefs to upset the Jets. Jets offense isn't consistant enough in my opinion. Sanchez isn't great at all. Not even good. LOL! Running game is lost. Defense wouldn't be able to handle an offense like the Colts or Patriots. I doubt they will represent the AFC in the Super Bowl. Again prove me wrong.
Baltimore Ravens-To me the Baltimore Ravens are one of the most under-rated football teams in the league. Yes they were one of the media's so-called picked, but they don't get the respect they deserve. They are a great football team. Great defense! Offense will need to step up for them to get to the Super Bowl. I don't think their passing game is as good as one thought. Running game was thrown out of the window where Rice wasn't getting his carry's. I think their offense will cost their team a chance to be in the Super Bowl. It will come down to the passing game in the end. Ravens could definately surprise us though. They are in my opinion the 3rd best team in the league right now.
Indianapolis Colts-I like their chances of making the playoffs and winning their division. Despite the teams struggles on offense due to injuries I think they are still a bit of a force in the AFC. They would give the Pats a battle if they were to face again. Just an opinion of course. I think the injuries will haunt them and lead them out of the playoffs.
Kansas City Chiefs-Some people would call this team a darkhorse. This team surprised us all. New coaching staff really helped revive this franchise. Matt Cassel has done a great job at quarterback. The running game is the true leader of this football team o. Charles along with Thomas Jones have made a force in that department. That is one of the reasons why I like them to take down the Jets. They are pretty good on special teams as well. Not that bad in the passing game either. I like their chances. Wouldn't be surprised if they did lose in the wildcard round like everyone expect. Wouldn't be surprised if they won in the wildcard round either. Great season o.
Pittsburgh Steelers-One of the reasons I wasn't gonna create one of these for the AFC because I would be criticized cuz of my biased towards my favorite football team the Pittsburgh Steelers. I like their chances to be honest. To me they are one of the top 2 teams in the league right now. Best defense in the league always helps come playoff time. Great wideouts with one emerging Mike Wallace. Running game is pretty good. Mendenhall is in the top 10 in that category. I think the Steelers will represent the AFC in the Super Bowl. They have all the key components to get it done.
New England Patriots-Media's pick, majority of everyones pick. Of course they have a strong passing game. Under-rated defense among other qualities. Have a great quarterback who more likely than not will be named the MVP this year. They have one of the most praised head coaches in the NFL on their side as well along with home field advantage. You gotta think with all those advantages you gotta pick this football team. Any team can win on any given day. That's why we play the game. That's why I'm not picking the Patriots.
This is my breakdown of all of the AFC teams. Why and why not I pick them. So on and so forth. Tell me what ya think. Steelers will represent the AFC in the Super Bowl.

Call upsets NFL regular season week 1
The whole point of this thread is obviously for you to predict some upsets you see that is gonna happen week 1. Since I created this post I guess I'll start us off.
Det wins over Chi-Detroit along with the Chicago Bears were active in free agency, but to me the Bears acquistions of Peppers will be a bust. Of course Cutler is an interception machine and I'm gonna love to see Suh rip apart the line. I think they are the better team right now. I think the draft really helped them be better than the Bears. I see an upset.
I predict Cincy will get the win over New England even though I don't want it to happen. The only strength the Patriots really have in this game is of course the passing game. I figure Benson will have a good game. The key for a Pats win will be the running game, but I don't see it working nor do I see Pats passing game getting through that top secondary in the league. I'm rooting for the Pats, but it will be tough. Defense doesn't look good at all. I say Cincy wins this one unfortunately.
Stl over Ari-It's true!! I chose this in my predicitons. Why not? Don't really know a lot about the Rams besides their offense, but I do know a lot about the Cardinals because they are more talked about this offseason with a lot of things going on. Warner, Boldin, Rolle, Dansby, ect are all gone. Those guys will obviously be missed. Joey Porter acquistion is a bust. He can't replace what the huge role or Dansby and Rolle made on defense. I think the Rams offense will surprise people. Bradford over Anderson. Jackson over any running back. Both defenses are terrible. Obviously the better passing game is Arizona advantage, but they are gonna run the ball more apparently and Fitz could be out for the first game. Either way I see an upset.
Baltimore over Jets-All hype for both teams, but obvious favorite is the Jets. Flacco over Sanchez. Running game goes to the Ravens as an edge. Offensive line is close, but Jets have the edge. WR core is obviously the Ravens. Rush defense in my opinion belong to the Ravens. Secondary of course the Jets. Will you look at that!! It is clear that the Ravens are the better team in my opinion, but with all this media hype I figure that this can be called an upset I guess.
Can the Steelers over the Falcons be an upset too? Nevermind....
Those are my upsets. What are yours?

MSHA Alert: Electrical Safety
The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) has released the investigation report on a November 18, 2013, fatality at a crushed stone mine. The incident involved a 33-year-old contract electrician foreman with 14 years of experience who was injured when he contacted energized conductors after pulling cable for a new pump that was being installed while working on a 480-volt electrical enclosure. He died four days later in a hospital.
MSHA recommends the following best practices for working with electricity:
Ensure that persons are trained on all electrical tests and safety equipment necessary to safely test and ground the circuit where work is to be performed.
Positively identify the circuit on which work is to be conducted.
De-energize power and ensure that the circuit is visibly open for circuits being worked on and circuits near the work area.
Lock and Tag! Place YOUR lock and tag on the disconnecting device.
Use properly rated Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) including Arc Flash Protection such as a hood, gloves, shirt, and pants.
Ensure ALL electrical components in the enclosure are de-energized by testing for voltage using properly rated test equipment.
Install warning labels on the terminal covers of bottom feed circuit breakers warning that "Bottom terminal lugs remain energized when the circuit breaker is open."

This is absurdity at its best, a first class Red Bull F1 racing team farce, I say Red Bull (the team) because that is where it all belongs, and the protagonists inside the Red Bull team responsible for this farce are (in chronological order) the owner, the advisor, the team principal, and both drivers.
Regardless of likes and dislikes of team orders, individual driver or team support, the way RBR as a team is managed is a joke/farce.

Report findings paint grim picture over troubled Bath Spa contract
An independent investigation into the cause of the Bath Spa paint fiasco appears criticises the performance of contractor Mowlem, architect Grimshaw and product RIW Toughseal.
The examination, the first stage of which was released by Bath council last week, is the latest attempt to establish responsibility for the problems that have dogged Grimshaw's prestigious spa restoration.
An opening date for the spa remains suspended indefinitely as both Mowlem and the design team headed by Grimshaw continue to deny responsibility.
Remedial works have been blocked until the full cause of the problems can be established.
The report, the first stage of an examination by independent consultant STATs, identified a range of factors thought to have contributed to the problem, including the improper use of render, inadequately prepared surfaces, application of paint in cold conditions, use of multiple thin layer coating techniques and contamination of paint surfaces between layers.
However, it also criticised the specification of a product 'for which there was no satisfactory complete track record of use in similar environment or for which suitable rigorous trials had been undertaken'.
Mowlem this week continued to blame Grimshaw's specification for the defects and voiced its disappointment that the report 'does not include any recommendations on how the situation might be resolved'.
This latest development follows a meeting called by construction minister Nigel Griffiths MP two weeks ago to find a way of resolving the impasse. The DTI refused to release details of the 'private'meeting.

This gun is marked RS2 and it has the RS2 trigger, but the box says RS1.
Like getting 2 rifles for the price of one! Includes .177 caliber and .22 caliber barrels. Red fiber optic front sight and green fiber optic rear (fully adjustable). The Beeman 4x32 scope will help get the most accuracy possible from the gun. Everything fits neatly inside the included soft carrying case. Velcro tie-down straps secure the barrels, gun, scope & rings to stop things from shifting during transport.
Max velocity in .177 is 1000 fps, and in .22 it's 830 fps. You could use this rifle for plinking, small game hunting, shooting cans and just plain fun!
When you change barrels, you MUST sight-in the gun again! It will not shoot to the same aimpoint, even if you sighted-in the barrel when swapping it previously. Every barrel switch requires a new sight-in session.
Don't forget to pick up a variety of recommended pellets, which are listed in the AMMO link. Select appropriate accessories, including scopes and targets, by clicking on the ACCESSORIES link.

Things I liked: I bought this mainly to set it up as a 22 cal. rifle. Out of the box the trigger pull was good and accuracy was acceptable after a few hundred shots. Good value for the money. Nice little rifle for small game and plinking.
Things I would have changed: I have agree with the other reviews, the scope is not very good quality. I had trouble adjusting the focus on it. I like a scope so will save up my money and buy a better quality scope
What others should know: When you seat the barrel setscrew use some Loctite or as I did, some Teflon thread tape. This insures that the barrel will not come loose.

Things I liked: I liked the option of changing the barrels from.177 to .22. The wood stock is very attractive and the rifle in general is good looking. I bought for small game hunting, I wanted something quieter than my 22, but also wanted something that could offer the same accuracy and function. It's very quiet and delivers a decent punch.
Things I would have changed: I would not recommend this rifle for someone who really wants to use both calibers. It shoots accurate out of the box. But when the barrel is changed it has to be sighted in which is a pain in the ass. Also the sights are junk. There cheap plastic and easily come off balance, so you really have to use the scope, which is decent and what I expected it to be for the price. Also if your shooting downhill it doesn't shot strait. But if shooting level of higher it's dead on.
What others should know: Overall, as in anything else you get what you pay for. If your a serious hunter or want something that will last for decades I would recommend spending a little more for something that will last.

Things I liked: THE included scope on this thing is total junk, pure and simple. I put on a centerpoint 4x32 from a crosman vantage combo and it was dialed in quickly. near as i can tell its the same scope, but for some reason the beeman labled one is just junk. nuff said
Things I would have changed: just dont include a scope at all if that is the quality you are sending. I would have happily paid the same price for this rifle with out it.
What others should know: this review is not on the rifle at all, for the rifle is a dimer at 30 yds with open sights. cant even stress in text how badass this rifle is. but that scope included is just absolute junk. i give it a 1 star in accuracy only because beeman decided to put this joke of a scope in the box. open sights are wonderful and totally capable.

The use of soil amendments and fertilizers in most gardens is a necessity. Even though you try your best, a vegetable plant will not grow well in poor soil.
Vital minerals and nutrients are extracted from the soil each year. You should always strive to add something back to the soil every year, including 2013. This could include synthetic fertilizers, or natural sources such as livestock manure, compost, greensand, etc.
Soil type determines the frequency of nutrient application. Heavy clay soils found in much of the Shenandoah Valley require less frequent applications of nitrogen and other nutrients than do sandy soils. Timing of fertilizer application also depends on the type of crop and the level of crop productivity expected. For example, sweet corn requires more frequent feeding than lettuce.
A general pre-season application of fertilizer should be based on a soil test. Broadcast granular fertilizers and incorporate manures or compost with a garden fork or tiller. Mid-March is generally a good time for this locally.
Some crops need to be fertilized monthly with a balanced nutrient source during the growing season. These include: sweet corn, cucumbers, green beans, pumpkin and squash. The best methods to do this are side-dressing and foliar feeding.
Timing for nitrogen fertilizers is especially critical. Research at Virginia Tech found that if tomatoes are fertilized heavily with nitrogen before the fruit sets, the plants tend to be mostly vine and few fruit. The same principle applies to potatoes, which will show excess vining and low yields. I recommend fertilizing tomatoes one week before first picking and again two weeks later. Fertilize potatoes at blossom time (around second hilling).
Nutrient sources
A good rule of thumb is that nitrogen is for leafy top growth; phosphorus is for root and fruit production; and potassium is for disease resistance and general robustness.
Synthetic fertilizers such as 10-10-10 are quick-acting, readily available at garden centers, and fairly inexpensive. Virginia Tech researchers warn, however, that if applied incorrectly, synthetic fertilizers can be detrimental to earthworms because of potentially harmful salts.
My favorite natural soil amendments include greensand, rock phosphate, blood meal, bone meal, and compost. I'll address the specific attributes of these and other soil amendments in a future column.

Don't forget the close-by campus of Michigan State University, a very beautiful and photogenic campus. Particularly the East and West Circle Drive areas - the "old" campus. Also both the Beal Botanical Garden and Horticultural Gardens offer lots of opportunities. The Red Cedar river running right through campus is also quite beautiful. No visit to MSU would be complete without a shot or two of Beaumont Tower (check to see if they still have their Sunday afternoon Carillon concerts).
On the southeast side of Lansing, find Fenner Arboretum. Also Pottor Park Zoo may offer some opportunities for an evening.
A few miles east of East Lansing, the Rose Lake Biological Research Station offers informal trails, bogs, and a couple of small inland lakes to explore.
Plenty of others, but these have been some of my favorite places to visit - not just for photography.

I spend a lot of time thinking about
Global warming, lunch, or your next vacation… it's all fair game.

Usually out with friends, getting into some kind of shenanigans.
The most private thing I'm willing to admit
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!

It's Maria who built the comparison platform and it's Coco who oversees the upkeep and maintenance of the site and ensures it works quickly and smoothly for our […]Read Full Profile »
The Bike Insurer wouldn't run so smoothly if it wasn't for Vast's board of directors but just as important are the two teams at Vast and SDP. They're made up of developers and testers, designers and creative, as well as the staff members who deal with our broker partnerships and sales.
Without each cog in The Bike Insurer machine working smoothly and quickly, we wouldn't be able to provide you with the best and cheapest motorbike insurance quotes in the UK.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Michael Jackson won't be laid to rest on what would have been his 51st birthday after all.
A spokesman for the Jackson family says the King of Pop's funeral has been postponed until Sept. 3, five days after the singer's birthday.
Spokesman Ken Sunshine, in a statement Friday, offered no reason for the delay.
Jackson's family had planned a private daytime service for Aug. 29. The pop superstar will now be interred in The Great Mausoleum at Forest Lawn-Glendale at a private evening ceremony.
The cemetery is spread over several hills on land roughly 8 miles north of downtown Los Angeles. The mausoleum includes a stained-glass replica of Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper" and replicas of Michelangelo's statues.

Potent upper level storm system across the intermountain west will only move very slowly east the next several days. Swift southwesterly flow aloft has developed ahead of this system with shortwaves and upper jet energy arriving ahead of a northern stream cold front. This front is forecast to plunge southward late tonight across the north and should exit the Big Bend by Friday afternoon. The front and upper low will provide ample lift for rain and thunderstorms tonight and Friday. Rainfall could become locally heavy by Friday afternoon across the Davis Mountains and Trans Pecos region with precipitable water values forecast to be 2 to 4 standard deviations above normal. In addition colder air will continue to plunge south and the rain may mix with or change to freezing rain across the extreme northern Permian Basin including northern Lea county New Mexico and the Guadalupe Mountains. Later shifts will need to monitor this possible scenario, especially in the Guadalupe Mountains. Precipitation chances will remain high areawide Friday night through Saturday night due to the stalled upper low and associated jet, with additional shortwave energy riding up into southwest Texas from the remains of tropical system "Sandra" from Mexico. To complicate matters even further, a freezing to near freezing surface air mass will continue funneling south behind the cold front these time periods and will support the threat for significant freezing rain in the northern Permian Basin... Guadalupe and Davis Mountains and the Van Horn Highway 54 Corridor Friday night through at least Saturday morning. For this reason have continued the Winter Storm Watch for these areas. Further south it will be a close call and it could go either way with rain or freezing rain possible across much of the southeast New Mexico Plains and the remainder of the Permian Basin. Confidence was not high enough to upgrade to a watch in these areas because the 12z Thursday NAM and ECMWF guidance came in a tad warmer. Later shifts will obviously need to monitor the potential need for expanding the watch. Rain will continue across the remainder of west Texas and could be locally heavy. Later shifts will also need to monitor the potential for flash flooding late Friday into Saturday across portions of the southern Permian Basin... lower Trans Pecos and Big Bend due to the additional moisture from the remains of "Sandra". By Saturday afternoon and Saturday night precipitation will continue across much of west Texas and southeast New Mexico with temperatures rising above freezing most areas. This far out, there is also the potential for temperatures in portions of the northern Permian Basin and Guadalupe Mountains to still be near freezing with freezing precipitation possibly continuing. By Sunday precipitation should all be in the liquid form across west Texas and southeast New Mexico with the best chance of showers across the Permian Basin as the flow aloft becoming more zonal and remnant tropical energy moves east into east Texas. Precipitation amounts will be on the decrease as the better moisture pulls east. Beyond Sunday through the middle of next week moderating, but still below normal temperatures are expected in zonal flow aloft with mainly dry conditions expected. Another storm may impact the region by next Wednesday and Thursday. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

Colonial National Historical Parkway Things to Do
Appreciate the Scenery/Learn the History
There are various turnouts (scenic overlooks) along the Colonial Parkway which allow you to read the informational signs, and look at the scenery. It was difficult for me to get Bob to stop at these points. In fact we did not stop at any of them, although we took the Jamestown Loop automobile trail (5 miles) where he did drive the car up to the signs so I could photograph them.Related to:

Colonial National Historical Parkway Warnings and Dangers
No Lines
The road is meant to give you a 'colonial experience' from the car. Practically speaking, this means that there is minimal signage and NO lines on the road. You have to be able to drive on the road without the normal road markings to keep you in your lane.
Also be aware that there's NO services on this road. No food and no fuel.Related to:
- Road Trip
- National/State Park
- Historical Travel
Open Joints
I did not get a picture of the sign, but cyclists are warned that the road has open joints. They look pretty deep, although the ones parallel to the road look to be mostly in the middle.
Note that there is no cyclists path marked off.Related to:

Colonial National Historical Parkway Favorites
National Parkway
Favorite thing: If you want to drive on a road that has no visual pollution, this is the place. The first photo was taken in 1963. The other two were taken 40+ years later
On this road, there are no signs or other normal highway accoutrements visible. The bridges are low brick arches with round holes in them (why the round holes I don't know) which is described on the website as clad in antiquated "Virginia-style" brick laid in English and Flemish bonds and, "A labor intensive process of brooming and acid washing was used to expose the aggregate in the pavement to simulate the shell and marl roads of colonial Yorktown."Related to:
