Keep in mind why Eastmans has chosen to not to a BST section. It has been proven by forum moderators not just here but other forums as well, myself included in the history of moderation of forums, that BST sections are a liability beyond reason. Its tough to moderate, and one mans idea of a well taken care of item is another mans pile of crap, and vise versa.
When one well known member sells an item to another well known member and a disagreement ensues, staff will have a near impossible choice to make when it comes to involving themselves in the mediation.
Also some companies in the past have been drawn into legal action over BST forums that is costly and avoidable.
Being Eastmans is a worldwide forum, its much easier to use places that are more local to you where you can see your item in person prior to a money exchange. Such places like online classifieds and craigslist, ect.
Much safer for the both parties and alleviates the liability of Eastmans on a deal that could be sour.
Dont mistake this insight for what it is not, as I myself have done well with BST sections in the past on other sites. I just have had to deal with moderating sour deals one too many times as well.
If Eastmans is to do this, I would recommend, a minimum post, as well as a time active on the forum minimum prior to allowance into the BST club. 200 post minimum and 6 months active posting.
A forum moderator controlled access forum with a consensus of the currently allowed BST members. Like a vote to allow a new club member. This would allow those in the club a chance to review posts and forum attitude of possible new members prior to them coming on board.
A feed back required for every deal for others to review.
Its an idea but one that takes full time moderation to handle.
It would take an internet geek to hang out here......
anyone know a candidate?
I hunt because......
Ah very nice, did not know I could do that! Anyway, its set up...Vote away!
I would be all for a it. I am trying to get some gear rounded up for my first hunt out west.
I voted yes, I'm new here but belong to a bunch of other forums, most of them have BST sections. I fully support minimum post counts and or minimum length of membership. I don't think a 200 post count is reasonable though, I try not to post unless I have something I think is helpful to say and may never get to 200 posts. I'm pretty new to the DIY western hunting scene so I'm mostly here to learn, I don't really have a lot to offer on most of the subjects as a noob so I subscribe to the "better to remain silent and thought a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt" theory .

GREENVILLE, N.C. – Playing its first home contests in more than a month, East Carolina snapped a four-game losing streak with a sweep of UTEP on Saturday. The Pirates' offense came to life, leading the team to a 12-4 win in five innings and walking off with an 11-10 victory in the second contest. ECU's 23 runs during the doubleheader are more than the program has scored in any Conference USA series since pushing across 24 in three games at Southern Miss May 5-6, 2007.
In the opener, senior Suzanne Riggs and sophomore Jordan Lewis combined to drive in four runs and score five for the Pirates (12-17, 2-3 C-USA). In the second contest, a grand slam by Kayla Black gave UTEP (12-20, 2-6 C-USA) an 8-6 advantage and the Miners led 10-8 going into the bottom of the seventh. An RBI single by junior pinch hitter Cicely Lopez cut the deficit to one run and the game-winning score came home on an error by the right fielder following a sacrifice fly by junior Kai Clark.
Clark recorded a career-high three hits in the second contest and matched her personal best with three RBI. Freshman pitcher Sarah Christian (10-10) recorded the victories in both games to become just the 12th rookie in program history to reach double-digit wins. She has been credited with the victory in ECU's last five triumphs.
In the opener, Christian went all five innings, scattering eight hits and striking out three without walking a batter. The Miners' Colleen Hohman recorded two outs before giving way to Laura Ramos. Hohman surrendered one hit, four walks and three runs, one earned, and suffered the loss. Ramos tossed three-and-a-third, surrendering four runs, two earned, on three hits and a trio of free passes. Cynthia Villastrigo and Joanna Krienitz picked up the final two outs of the contest, combining to allow five runs on two hits and three walks.
Game two had ECU freshman Courtney Smith toss the first four-and-a-third frames, allowing nine runs, seven earned, on 11 hits and five walks. She fanned two. Christian came in for the final two-and-two-thirds to earn her second victory of the day. She allowed just one run, unearned, on two hits and an intentional walk. For UTEP, Krienitz lasted the initial two innings, giving up five runs, four earned, on five hits and a walk. Ramos came in and went two-and-two-thirds, issuing five walks and allowing three runs on four hits. Hohman (4-10) suffered her second loss of the day after throwing the final one-and-two-thirds of relief. She gave up three runs, two earned, on five hits and two walks while fanning a pair.
During the first contest, UTEP jumped out to a quick 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning as Camilla Carrera hit her NCAA-leading 20th home run of the campaign.
The Pirates responded in the bottom of the frame and took a 3-1 lead. Sophomore Jill Jelnick led off with a walk, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by classmate Kristi Oshiro and scored on two illegal pitches. With one out and the bases clear, Riggs doubled to left field. After a pop out, Lewis sent a ground ball to third baseman Ashley Collazo, who had the ball bounce off her glove and into left center, allowing Riggs to score. Three consecutive walks to sophomores Alex Fieldhouse, Jasmine Robbins and Chelsea Kaluhiokalani-Glackin followed to force in a run and make it a 3-1 edge. Senior Priscilla Velasquez nearly increased the ECU lead, but center fielder Chelsea Troupe caught the fly ball, crashing into the wall.
East Carolina did extended its advantage in the bottom of the third, scoring twice to make it a 5-1 contest. Lewis led off with an infield single, moved to second on a Fieldhouse sacrifice bunt and came home on a double to right center by Robbins. After a groundout, Clark singled to center field to plate Robbins for a two-run advantage. Ramos avoided further damage with a fly out to center field as Troupe dove and made the grab of a flare off the bat of Jelnick.
In the top of the fourth, UTEP loaded the bases but was held off the board. Carrera led off with a single to center and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt. Black beat out an infield single to put runners on first and second with one out. Courtney Ware singled to left to fill the bases. Christian struck out Hohman and Ramos sent a hard shot toward right field, but Oshiro at second base dove, made the stop and threw to first for the inning-ending out.
The Miners made it a one-run deficit in the top of the fifth with another Carrera home run. After a groundout started the frame, Samantha Alvillar and Troupe hit back-to-back singles to put runners on first and second for Carrera, who deposited a Christian offering over the wall in center field. Christian quickly bounced back with a pair of groundouts to end the frame.
ECU answered with seven runs in the bottom of the inning to end the game due to the eight-run rule. Robbins led off reaching on a fielding error by Collazo. Kaluhiokalani-Glackin followed with a bunt and Collazo could not field it, putting runners on first and second with no outs. Villastrigo entered and her first pitch was wild, moving both runners up a base. Another wild pitch brought in Robbins before an illegal pitched forced in Kaluhiokalani-Glackin. Clark, Jelnick and Oshiro drew consecutive free passes to load the bases for Riggs with no outs. Riggs singled to left center to drive in two and make it a five-run advantage. Velasquez followed with a sacrifice bunt that moved Oshiro to third and Riggs to second with one out. Lewis doubled down the line in left field to bring home both runners. A groundout moved Lewis to third and she scored the game-ending run on a wild pitch by Krienitz.
In the second game, the Pirates jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first. Jelnick singled, moved to second on an Oshiro bunt, went to third on a fielding error by Krienitz and scored on a Velasquez sacrifice fly.
ECU tacked on three more runs in the bottom of the second without a hit plating any of the three. Fieldhouse started the inning with a single to left field. Robbins popped out to second, but Kaluhiokalani-Glackin beat out an infield single to put runners on first and second. A Clark single filled the bases before a Krienitz illegal pitch forced in Fieldhouse. Jelnick walked to reload the bases for Oshiro, who was hit by a pitch to bring home Kaluhiokalani-Glackin. A Riggs sacrifice fly delivered Clark. Krienitz avoided further trouble as Black dove and made a catch of a Velasquez fly ball in right center.
The Miners forced a tie with four runs in the top of the fourth inning. With the bases loaded and one out, a single to left field by Ware drove in the frame's first run. Black followed with a fielder's choice and shortstop Kaluhiokalani-Glackin's throw to home sailed high and allowed the second run to score. Charissa Bellesteros followed with a run-scoring single into right center. A groundout to Fieldhouse at third base by Ashley Eldridge plated the final run of the inning as Kayla Oranger grounded out to Oshiro to end the threat.
In the bottom of the frame, the Pirates regained the lead with Clark's first career triple. With two outs and Robbins on first following a fielder's choice, Kaluhiokalani-Glackin drew a walk. A passed ball moved the pair up a base before Clark's hit off the base of the wall in right center. Jelnick and Oshiro followed with walks, but a pop out to Ramos in the circle closed the frame.
The lead did not last long, however, as a two-out grand slam by Black in the top of the fourth put the Miners up 8-6. Troupe, Carrera and Ware came home on the blast by Black.
The Miners extended their lead to three in the top of the fifth on a Collazo sacrifice fly with one out. A ground out opened the frame, but a single by Alvillar, double by Troupe and intentional walk to Carrera loaded the bases. Christian entered for Smith and retired Collazo on the fly out to Robbins in center field. With Ware up to bat, Carrera was called out for leaving first base early to end the threat and keep it a three-run contest.
East Carolina got two runs back in the bottom of the fifth to make it a 9-8 game. Clark picked up her career-high third hit of the contest on a one-out single to right field, but was forced out at second on a Jelnick fielder's choice. Jelnick stole second and Oshiro tripled over the head of Ware in left on the ninth pitch of her at-bat to plate Jelnick. Riggs and Velasquez drew consecutive walks to fill the bases for Lewis. UTEP brought Hohman in to pitch and Lewis greeted her with an infield single to Alvillar at shortstop, plating Oshiro. A fielder's choice by Fieldhouse ended the threat.
The Pirates had a chance to even the score in the bottom of the sixth, but could not convert. Robbins led off with a double down the left-field line. After a strikeout and pop out, Jelnick reached on an infield single and Oshiro walked. With two outs and the bases loaded, Hohman ended the inning with a strikeout.
UTEP added another run with two outs in the bottom of the seventh. ECU intentionally walked Carrera and Collazo followed with a single down the right-field line. Lewis picked up the ball but threw high to second base and as the ball sailed into left field, Carrera scored. Jelnick, who was playing left field, picked up the ball and threw to Kaluhiokalani-Glackin at second for the tag on Collazo to end the frame.
In the bottom of the seventh, ECU rallied with three runs for the walk-off victory. Velasquez led off with a single and was replaced by sophomore pinch runner Rebecca Lee, who was erased on a fielder's choice by Lewis. Fieldhouse followed with a walk to put runners on first and second with one out. Robbins was hit by a pitch to load the bases for pinch hitter Lopez. A single to left from Lopez made it a one-run contest. Clark followed with a fly ball to right field that Black dropped, allowing Fieldhouse and Robbins to score for the win.
The Pirates go for the series sweep Sunday with a 12:00 p.m. contest.

Well, I drew a 404-00 antelope buck tag. When I applied I thought I was set for a slow hunting season so the antelope tag would be nice. After drawing a Colorado moose tag, good deer tag, and a few others my schedule is getting to hectic. I'm planning to call Monday to see what my options are (if any), but figured I'd ask here in the mean time. My questions are... Can I get a refund and keep my points? Are there doe tags available that I could buy my daughter so she can hunt with me and cancel her Colorado antelope hunt? Is the license transferable to your kids? I'm assuming there are no options and I'll just have to make it happen but wanted to make sure first.
On another note, anyone have info on antelope hunting this unit they'd like to share if I do end up hunting?

I'm about to install Zimbra on a VM for testing/playing, and would like to import some mail data from a Lotus install. Unfortunately it is an R5 setup and the migation wizard seems to support only R6 and above.
Can I assume that (as IMAPSync is recommended for migrating from other configurations) that the mail stores in Zimbra are hosted by a standard IMAP daemon so I can use a beafed up (so it supports attachments) variant of http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=136382 to extract the data from Notes/Domino and use the IMAP+MIME manipulation components I have licenses for to push that data into the Zimbra mail store?
Better still: is there already an easier way to migrate mail data from Notes/Domino R5 into Zimbra? The loss of calendar data would not be a large problem (old data is not absolutely needed as meeting confirmations and such for past events exist in the mail documents and the number of future events will be small enough to re-enter), but if that too could be transferred over it would be useful.
FYI: I am currently looking at the options a small business has for upgrading/replacing and ageing Lotus Domino setup with something that works and isn't just plain irritating. As upgrading Notes will involve retraining (the previous Notes admin has left the company) other options are being considered including Zimbra (the open source edition initially but as the company's needs grow the Network Edition would likely be needed later).

"Women's Day" magazine put together a list of the most unhealthy Halloween candies for kids. All of them are either high in calories, bad for their teeth, or BOTH.
#1.) Snickers. The main reason they're bad is the caramel, which gets stuck in their teeth and causes cavities. That's one reason 3 Musketeers are a better choice. Plus, they have fewer calories.
#2.) Reese's Peanut Butter Pumpkins. One of them has as many calories as two normal Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. One regular cup has 88 calories. One Peanut Butter Pumpkin has 180.
#3.) Candy Corn. It's worse than most other types of candy, because it's nothing but sugar, artificial coloring, and artificial flavors.
#4.) Tootsie Pops. Actually, any kind of lollipop is bad for your kid's teeth, simply because they take so long to eat. Most types of candy only stay in your mouth for a few seconds. But lollipops can take five or ten minutes to finish.
#5.) Starburst. Each piece is about 15 calories, which isn't that bad. But they're loaded with fat and sugar. In fact, ten Starbursts have about the same amount of sugar as five-and-a-half SUGAR PACKETS.
#6.) Sour Patch Kids. Again, they stick to your teeth and cause cavities. But they also have high levels of acid in them, which breaks down your enamel and causes even more cavities.
#7.) Fun Dip. If you don't remember, it's basically a hard white stick of sugar that you dip into more sugar. So it's pretty obvious why it's bad for you. One serving has 50 calories, and sometimes one package has three servings in it.

This may be one of the great puzzles of the 20th century. The restrictions of color matching and topology make it difficult but not impossible, and very satisfying. Although you will have fun with the first ten pieces, Tantrix gets better as you add more tiles. I have completed loops to #19 in the Tantrix Game Pack (Puzzle Master really should sell this) and come back from time to time to try to complete the next level. Two players can play strategy games, though I have never played them. One of my absolute favorite puzzles and very highly recommended.

By George Wolf
Philip Seymour Hoffman died on Feb. 2 at the age of 46. Considered by many to be one of the greatest actors of his generation, he will be deeply missed.
In addition to his starring roles, Hoffman had a particular gift for supporting roles and with small parts in "The Big Lebowski," "Along Came Polly," "Hard Eight," "Moneyball," "Strangers with Candy," "Cold Mountain," "Almost Famous," and "The Ides of March," contributed immeasurably to the artistic success of the films. There is truly not a single film or performance that doesn't deserve a mention. His few onscreen minutes in "Catching Fire" elevated the entire "Hunger Games" series. He was even great in the teen zombie comedy "My Boyfriend's Back."
Here, in chronological order, is our list of essential Philip Seymour Hoffman viewing.
Boogie Nights (1997)
Here's where we fell in love with Philip Seymour Hoffman. He plays Scotty, the overweight and underappreciated camera grip in Paul Thomas Anderson's porn–industry-as-dysfunctional-family-comedy-drama. A heartbreakingly awkward punching bag for the good looking talent, Scotty's limited screen time is acting perfection.
Happiness (1998)
Todd Solondz's unforgettable black comedy benefits from a subversively brilliant screenplay and an ensemble who relished the outrageous opportunities that piece of writing held. Every performance in the film is a thing of beauty, including Hoffman's creepy obscene phone caller Allen. The climactic scene with the object of his twisted adoration, played by Lara Flynn Boyle, is a work of dark comic genius.
Magnolia (1999)
Another true ensemble piece, the film's steadiest heartbeat is the down-to-earth home health care nurse played by Hoffman. He approached the role with understatement and unveiled a level of compassion that not only characterized this man's calling, but allowed the audience to find a way to empathize with the rest of the less likeable characters. It's a beautifully nuanced and deeply authentic performance.
Almost Famous (2000)
As legendary rock critic Lester Bangs, Hoffman gives Almost Famous its critical reference point, as the middle ground between the two worlds the young William (Patrick Fugit) is juggling. Even with limited screen time, Hoffman conveys a funny, heartfelt, and deceptively sad persona that is essential to the film's success.
Capote (2005)
Hoffman received his first Oscar nomination for the 2005 biopic, which makes you wonder where the Academy's heads had been the previous ten years. He won for his unerring turn in this beautifully observed film about the writing of Capote's masterpiece In Cold Blood. Never one to shy away from a character's faults, Hoffman unveiled an equally sympathetic and mercenary soul as the writer befriends inmate Perry Smith.
Charlie Wilson's War (2007)
The year 2007 was a big one for Hoffman. He garnered an Oscar nomination for his supporting turn as Gus Avrakotos, government agent working with senator and playboy Charlie Wilson (Tom Hanks) to assist Afghanistan rebels in their war with Russia. It was one of three performances that year that could easily have earned Hoffman his second Oscar, each as different from the other as performances could be. He gives needed edge and weight, as well as biting humor, to a film that could have been too sentimental otherwise.
The Savages (2007)
Also that year, dream team Hoffman and Laura Linney play a brother and sister faced with caring for their aged, abusive father. Full of brilliant, darkly funny insights on correcting old wounds, responsibility versus irresponsibility, inevitability and family, the film is queasyingly realistic and relevant but the performances are a laugh riot, uncomfortable as they are.
Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007)
In his third award-worthy turn in 2007 Hoffman finds himself with a character that a great actor would dream of and the lesser of the world could only screw up. An older brother (Hoffman) hiding dark, addictive behavior, talks his sad-sack younger brother (Ethan Hawke) into something unthinkable. Desperate for approval, sensitive in the weirdest moments, black hearted the next, Andy is a fascinating character thanks to Hoffman's effortless genius.
Doubt (2008)
Hoffman and Meryl Streep – one of his only true peers – face off as a priest who may have molested a student and the nun who will doggedly pursue the case. Hoffman never judges his character, bringing a self righteousness and grace to the part that allows the audience to doubt his guilt. Without that, the film bottoms out into just another finger pointing diatribe on the Catholic Church. But because Hoffman could walk the line perfectly – and because Streep and co-stars Viola Davis and Amy Adams are so goddamn talented – the film is a brilliantly ambiguous conundrum.
The Master (2012)
Hoffman is a gravitational force as Lancaster Dodd, the charismatic leader of a Scientology-esque group. Pairing Hoffman with Joaquin Phoenix may have been director Paul Thomas Anderson's greatest moment of casting genius. Phoenix's disheveled, unhinged veteran vagabond balances Hoffman's egomaniacal Master so perfectly that every moment the pair shares onscreen is theatrical magic. It's a flawless film boasting two epic performances.

Richard Gasquet has apparently test positive for a substance classified as a recreational drug in Miami. The news was confirmed by an official in the French Tennis Federation.
Via RMC.fr (Googley translated, of course):
The french tennis player was tested positive for a prohibited substance during a check carried out on the 1000 Miami Masters in late March.
Richard Gasquet, 23, tested positive at the 1000 Miami Masters in late March. The news has been confirmed by an official of the French Tennis Federation, and a source close to the Team Lagardère, whose structure depends on the player. Medical source, the sample A of the French showed signs of a substance prohibited in competition by the World Anti-Doping Code, such as recreational (cocaine, cannabis, etc.). The audit was conducted by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
The Biterrois, 23rd global player, had to enter the tournament in the 2nd round against Spaniard Albert Montanes before forfeit a few hours before the game because of pain in the right shoulder. " Absent this week's Estoril tournament, the player of Team Lagardère withdrew today from the Madrid Masters in 1000, which was used as a launching pad for the tournament at Roland Garros.
Gasquet could encounter "only" 3 months of suspension. His presence at Porte d'Auteuil would be strongly compromised. Tennis has seen other cases of doping with cocaine: Mats Wilander (3 months) and Karel Novacek in 1995 (3 months), Martina Hingis in 2007 (2 years). FFF has not officially reacted to the news, nor is the Team Lagardère. Earlier in the afternoon, Francis Gasquet, the player's father, told RMC that his son had "fallen from the nude" in learning what was still a rumor.
Apparently, it was cocaine - potential for two year ban based on amount found in his sample. Savannah's World has the scoop.
I'm feeling so sad for Reeshard right now. Clearly he's struggling with something. Hopefully better days are ahead for the Frenchie baller.

The Coyote in a 1932 Ford CoupeWritten by on October 21, 2004 Contributors: Dain Gingerelli Johnnie Walker's '32 Ford Coupe
The really interesting and fun part about old cars is finding where they have been and what brought them to the point they are at today. Some cars have led very sheltered lives, while for others it's amazing that they survived at all. Such is the case for Johnnie Walker's Gunnison, Colorado based '32 Ford Coupe.
When Johnnie first located what would become his beloved hot rod it could barely even qualify for being called a "car" at that point. What was found was a pretty rust-free cowl on a '32 frame, and not much else. With a little investigation and scrounging around on the Wyoming ranch where it was found the story unfolded that the ol' Deuce had seen many different duties on the ranch, including a rolling hunter's blind for picking off troublesome coyotes. For that purpose the doors had been removed and mercifully hung in the barn to be found many years later by Johnnie in nearly perfect condition. The rest of the coupe had not been so lucky because as the use for the Coupe changed so did the body via a chisel and a large hammer! The saving grace for the old workhorse was that way out in the country the cast-off pieces ended up in the "iron pile" rather than the local dump. Johnnie was determined to make the '32 whole again so after some intense excavation work in the "iron pile" most of the pieces were located to put the body back together again.
This is where Johnnie came to a major crossroad in what would ultimately make the car so cool. His original vision was an "up to date" modern street rod just like you see hundreds of at any given event, but after consulting local builder Dave Crouse of Custom Auto in Loveland, CO he was eventually converted to a purely traditional hot rodder. With a vision of a perfect hot rod in mind, Johnnie took the first batch pieces over to Custom Auto, to be followed by many other bits as they were tracked down and purchased.
Starting from the ground up Dave and his crew put together a functional base by adding such time-tested pieces to the American Stamping '32 rails as a dropped Super Bell I-beam and hair pins matched with a pair of Super Bell discs up front and '59 9-inch located by P&J ladders bars and coil-overs doing the job out back. The whole thing rolls on a very tasty set of Halibrand "kidney beans" wrapped in Firestone bias-plys. Next Dave dropped a rebuilt '54 Chrysler Hemi backed by a Richmond five speed transmission into the reworked rails. Lots of rare goodies including a pair of Parker valve covers and an Edmunds 2x4 intake dress up the completely blueprinted 331 cubic inch Mopar mill.
The real work came when it was time to put the many pieces of the dissected body back together. Here is where the preservation work of Custom Auto is so recognizable as the body now looks better than factory condition, enhanced by the removal of three inches of unnecessary roof height and a pair of custom built hood sides. Once all the panels were smooth and the gaps perfected a fresh coat of DuPont dark green was laid out on all the surfaces.
The final step in making Johnnies dreams come true was a trip over to Doug's Upholstery in Scottsbluff, NE for some fresh leather and vinyl trimmings. When Johnnie finally took to the open road he kept an eye on the vitals via a set of vintage Stewart Warner gauges and kept the coupe under control with a restored '46 Ford steering wheel, and taking the road is something Johnnie and his '32 are more than comfortable with. "This car was built to be driven and I can't say enough about the guys from Custom Auto that made it happen", says Johnnie.
Now completely bitten by the traditional rod bug Johnnie has a few more Ford hot rod projects underway like a '40 Coupe, a '28 Roadster on '32 Rails and a '28 Tudor Sedan that we hope and plan to bring to you in the future so stay tuned.
Johnnie Walker
Gunnison, CO
'32 Ford Coupe
Drivetrain: Keeping with the "found on the ranch" theme, the 331ci Hemi in the cool coupe was pulled from a retired '54 Chrysler New Yorker before the Custom Auto crew gave it a full rebuild. Machine work was handled by ADC Race Engines in Ft. Collins, CO before Dave Crouse and Jake Yenny took over the final assembly chores. Engine dress up includes some very unique pieces like a pair of ultra rare Parker valve covers, an Edmunds intake topped by a genuine pair of WCFB carbs finished off with a pair of owner built air cleaners and carb spacers. The vintage muscle is backed by the modern convenience of a Richmond five-speed manual transmission.
Chassis: The Custom Auto built underpinnings for the Coupe are pure hot rod, starting with a pair of boxed American Stampings rails connected to a dropped Super Bell axle & hairpins up front and a '59 Ford 9-inch and Pete & Jake ladder bars in the rear. Binders are Super Bell discs fore and Ford drums aft. Vega steering guides it all down the road.
Wheels & Tires: The rolling stock on this '32 is very much responsible for the unique personality that just screams "HOT ROD!" The combo out back is a pair of original magnesium 16x6 Halibrands wrapped in 7.00x16 Firestone bias ply rubber that are mated to a pair of reproduction 15x4 "kidney beans" from Wheel Vintiques mounted in 5.60x15 Firestones up front. Like the rest of the restored magnesium and aluminum surfaces on the coupe, the rims were left "in the raw" to keep the "strictly business" attitude.
Body & Paint: You'd have to figure that any car cut into little pieces years ago with a hammer and chisel would be a monumental amount of work, but the crew from Custom Auto not only put the '32 Coupe back together- they made it nicer than it ever was! A custom hood with trick blisters to clear the mighty Hemi was built by Dave Crouse and Rex Rogers. Rex and Jake Yenny left an unnecessary 3-inches out of the roof before Dustin Nere laid out the DuPont dark green paint. Finishing details include a pair of Guide 682-C headlights with indicators on top and a pair of '50 Pontiac taillights with green dots.
Interior: A green & black leather/vinyl combo stitched up by Doug's Upholstery in Scottsbluff, NE dresses up the interior which consists of a stock style seat facing a dash filled with original Stewart Warner gauges and a restored '46 Ford steering wheel on top of a '58 column. The only tunes needed are the rumble of the healthy Hemi and music of the open road.

Hey everyone;
We're building a new game, and looking to establish an alpha tileset for a fantasy map. Normally, we'd take this kind of thing to DeviantArt, but we suspect that the folks here might enjoy the challenge a bit better.
Please contact us via e-mail, below, if interested.
As this is an alpha, price will be a consideration for us- but we'll open that discussion separately.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
We're looking to create a hex-based tileset of ~50 tiles, with standard terrain (mountains, hills, forests, plains, swamps, and so on), along with some special tiles (crypts, castles, lava fields, etc.)
We're open to unique and interesting styles, but updated D&D hex map iconography would work as well.
Quality & Size
As this is an alpha, we will consider both Professional and semi-Professional quality.
Size is TBD.
Time Constraints
An initial set of tiles (perhaps half) would ideally be completed in early February, with the remainder in March.
Full Copyright, although we'll be able to work something out for your portfolio.

Germany elected to UN Human Rights Council again
The Human Rights Council during a session
© UN Photo
Germany will once again be serving on the United Nations Human Rights Council. On 12 November, the UN General Assembly elected Germany for the period of 2013 to 2015. Foreign Minister Westerwelle praised the election as a "show of confidence in our country and a tribute to our consistent stand on human rights around the world".
Germany garnered 127 votes, thereby winning one of the three available seats in the Western European and Other States Group. The group's other two seats went to Ireland and the US.
The 47 total seats on the Human Rights Council are allocated strictly by region: Africa and Asia have 13 seats each, Latin America eight seats, the Western European and Other States Group seven and Eastern Europe six. Terms on the Council run for three years, and one-third of the seats come up for election each year.
A key priority for German foreign policy
Protecting human rights is a key priority for German foreign policy. The Human Rights Council is the United Nations' main organ for addressing these concerns. Germany has actively supported the work of the Human Rights Council from the outset, and from 2006 to 2009 served on the Council as one of first members. Foreign Minister Westerwelle issued the following statement on the occasion of Germany's most recent election to the Council: "We regard the Human Rights Council as the leading international institution concerned with human rights protection and the further development of human rights standards." He also expressed his gratitude for the worldwide support which Germany's candidacy had received.
Alongside Germany, the US and Ireland, 15 other members were elected for the period of 2013 to 2015. These countries, listed by regional group, are:
- Africa: Côte d'Ivoire, Gabon, Ethiopia, Kenya, Sierra Leone
- Asia: United Arab Emirates, Kazakhstan, Japan, South Korea, Pakistan
- Eastern Europe: Estonia, Montenegro
- Latin America: Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela
The Human Rights Council has existed since 2006, when it was founded to replace the Human Rights Commission. Its establishment arose from then UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan's reform recommendations to strengthen the United Nations' protection of human rights. The Human Rights Council has the same status as the UN General Assembly committees and reports directly to the General Assembly.

Royals set 40-man roster, select contracts of four players
The Royals today announced their 40-man Major League roster with the addition of four new players.
The Royals have selected the contracts of left-handed pitcher Everett Teaford, first baseman Clint Robinson, and outfielders David Lough and Derrick Robinson.
To create room on the roster, the Royals designated four players for assignment: right-handed pitchers Bryan Bullington, Gaby Hernandez and Victor Marte, and outfielder Jordan Parraz.
Teaford, 26, posted a breakthrough 2010 campaign that culminated in a pair of appearances for Team USA at the Pan Am Qualifying Tournament in San Juan, Puerto Rico, in October. The Alpharetta, Ga., resident was 1-0 with a 2.00 ERA in two starts as Team USA finished tied for third and qualified for the 2011 Pan Am Games. The 6-footer went 14-3 with a 3.36 ERA in 27 games, including 12 starts, and was named the Northwest Arkansas (AA) Pitcher of the Year in 2010, pacing the Texas League in victories. The Royals' 12th-round selection in 2006 out of Georgia Southern University was a perfect 8-0 with a 1.98 ERA in 12 outings (seven starts) for the Texas League champion Naturals following the All-Star break. The inaugural recipient of the Mike Sweeney Award in 2008, awarded to a Royals' minor leaguer who best represents the organization on and off the field, Teaford also made one start with Omaha (AAA) in 2010.
25-year-old Clint Robinson won the Triple Crown in the Texas League in 2010, pacing the circuit with a .335 average, 29 home runs and 98 RBI. In addition, the left-handed slugger also led the league in doubles (41), total bases (298), slugging pct. (.625) and OPS (1.035). Drafted by the Royals in the 25th round in 2007 out of Troy University, Robinson was honored as the 2010 Northwest Arkansas Player of the Year. Born in Jefferson City, Mo., Robinson was raised and still resides in Dothan, Ala. He followed Teaford in being named the 2009 Mike Sweeney Award winner.
Lough, 24, batted .280 with 15 doubles, 12 triples, 11 home runs, 58 RBI and 65 runs in 120 games for Omaha in 2010. The left-handed hitter and thrower added 14 stolen bases while playing all three outfield positions. He overcame a slow start to hit .316 with a .403 on-base pct. and .462 slugging mark following the All-Star break. The 2009 George Brett Hitter of the Year was drafted in the 11th round by Kansas City out of Mercyhurst College in Erie, Pa., in 2007. Lough was born and raised in Akron, Ohio, and now resides in Clinton, Ohio.
23-year-old Derrick Robinson patrolled center field for the Texas League champion Northwest Arkansas Naturals in 2010, hitting .286 with a league-leading 50 stolen bases in 67 attempts. The switch-hitter also finished among the league leaders with eight triples (T-2nd) and 146 hits (3rd). The speedster, drafted by the Royals in the fourth round in 2006, has swiped 236 bases in his professional career, including 181 in his last three campaigns. The Archer, Fla., native recently completed a stint with the Surprise Rafters in the Arizona Fall League, hitting .260 with seven RBI and 11 runs scored in 14 games.
The entire 40-man roster is located on royals.com: http://kansascity.royals.mlb.com/team/roster_40man.jsp?c_id=kc

Hunger is all around us, yet it doesn't have to be
The recent vote by Congress to cut $40 billion from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — the food stamp program known as SNAP — over the next 10 years is alarming. If these cuts become law, those who are already struggling to afford food will be thrust into further hardship, increasing hunger across America and right here on Long Island.
Long Island's congressional delegation took a collective stand and voted against the cuts, defending those who are most vulnerable, especially children who are at risk of hunger. Representatives Peter King, Tim Bishop, Steve Israel and Gregory Meeks fully understand the critical issue of hunger locally, and throughout the country, and we greatly appreciate their support. (Congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy was not present to cast a vote.)
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 49 million Americans face hunger each day, and nearly half of them are children — who are least able to work to free themselves from poverty. On Long Island, more than 300,000 people, including more than 110,000 children, often don't know where their next meal is coming from.
The faces of hunger on Long Island are hard-working adults, children, senior citizens, veterans, and many who are still feeling the effects of Superstorm Sandy. These are people who just cannot make ends meet and often do without food for several meals, or even days. Imagine having to make the unenviable choice between paying the rent or for medicine, or putting food on the table. For many of our neighbors who are faced with not having enough to eat, SNAP and local food pantries are truly lifelines.
Having just concluded September's Hunger Action Month, the Island Harvest Food Bank urges those who can help to take action against hunger in our communities — not just in September, but throughout the year. This is a time to reflect and consider that on Long Island, a region of affluence, far too many people go through each day without enough to eat.
Given the congressional cuts to SNAP, the issue of hunger must be tackled by all of us, working together as a community. We all have a role to play in the fight against this scourge. The generosity of one individual or one business can go a long way. The message is simple: even with small donations, the impact can be great.
To donate to Island Harvest, log on to www.islandharvest.org or call (516) 294-8528 or (631) 873-4775.
Randi Shubin Dresner is president and CEO of the Island Harvest Food Bank, which is based in Mineola.

I applaud the efforts of Island Harvest to help the hungry. But I believe the answer to helping the needy must rely on private charity and not government handouts.
So what if $40 is to be cut from SNAP? How much has this program exploded under the Obama administration? The Dept. of A. is spending our money on advertisements to encourage more people to sign up. What should be a temporary measure has become a way of life of millions of people. Get on as many government programs as possible, for as long as possible.
There is little government oversight. There is practically no attempt to weed out fraud and abuse. But the advocate for the needed all scream the same mantra: more money!
What used to be a family issue - taking care of the needy is now a government problem. Here is a great example of how I see this first hand. I have a friend with a daughter that had a child out of wedlock. This friend is an empty nester. He shares a house with his wife with 2 extra bedrooms. He also owns 5 investment properties in Florida that pays him steady income.
Did he take in the daughter and grandchild when she could not take care of herself? No. He had her apply for every type of public assistance. She gets Section 8 housing, food stamps, SSI, and more. So he as two vacant bedrooms, and gets to keep all his money. Us taxpayers get to foot the bill for the daughter's bad decisions in life.
This is one example. There are millions more just like this all over the country, and YOU, the taxpayer are paying for it. That is right. YOU are paying for millions of people's bad decisions. And you will be paying more and more. Get used to it.

The example you give is unfortunately the kind that is too often given when the issue of hunger and food stamps are discussed from the perspective of government handouts. On the other hand, there are MANY charitable organizations and individuals who do privately donate food to those in need. Have you ever eaten their food? It is subsistence level not usually nutritionally based.
I am guessing you have NO idea what cutting $40 from a monthly food stamp budget means to an individual or family that truly deserve and need the option of finding some health supportive food. In these cases, where special diets needs to be followed and private food pantry consumables will not support those needs, what happens costs much more than the $40 you believe will be saved. Serious illness can result followed by huge medical costs.
I agree with you about there being very little government oversight. In fact, staff as well as food stamps have been cut dramatically. Ours went from $367/month to $16/month. What can you buy for $16/month for two people. On the other hand, the government doles out money hand over fist for programs that would make your skin crawl. I do not have the statistics. If you do, please let us know. But I suspect that the attention that gets put on food stamp misappropriations is just a smokescreen for outrageous government expenses elsewhere that dwarf the food stamp issue.
We are touching on the tip of the iceberg of a much more serious set of issues related to food and expenses resulted from inadequate food, poor diet, etc. I think we need to keep our attention on the big picture. I do not know if the responsibility lies with the government or private industry. But if you look at major for profit food producing corporations and pharmaceutical companies, there are major signs of greed, no care for feeding the country healthy or healing illness. It is a totally money making business.
Clearly, you have picked a good place to start the discuss. But believe me, you have only opened the bucket of worms. We have not baited our hooks or gone fishing. There is much to be explored and revealed that can put your unfortunate example of social services exploitation in perspective.

Discussion in 'San Diego Long Range Fishing' started by JSR, Feb 19, 2012.
i heard they will be shifting to ddogs on their bx line
only to the new ones? what about the existing ones?
and here comes that question.........
i would certainly hope so
This is probably a dumb question, but what are ddogs?
That would definitely put accurate back on top again!
Where did you hear this ?
Anti-reverse dogs vice anti-reverse bearing
the real question is will they retro fit the older reels??? Or do people have to plunk down another $500.......
so I read it....guess I missed it...what's new???
I didn't see it either. Maybe I missed it too?
Me three.
hear say boys.....
maybe i shouldn't be letting the cat out of the bag
why so top secret they are losing market share daily.....if it is not a dog system that can retrofitted into the existing reels I'm gone.....
Me too.......
me three
What is the likelihood of that being the case? Should I wait to buy the ones we were discussing last week; BX2: 600, 600W, 500N? I'm not planning to go extreme and catch cows on any of those, just want good reels for the Lupe and Alijos, but I also don't want to go blow $2k on 3 reels just to find out they're obsolete without the DD.
Damn Fishy....stir it up
just callin it like I see it....

Greensboro, NC-- News 2 talked to the President of Farley Associates about why McNair Elementary School wasn't complete by the deadline.
Trey Farley, President of Farley Associates, Inc. talked to News 2's Liz Crawford on the phone.
Farley Associates, Inc. was the general contractor for the brand new McNair Elementary School until Guilford County Schools found them in default earlier this week.
Trey Farley would not do an interview but he offered some insight in his phone conversation with News 2's Liz Crawford.
Farley said there were "key subcontractor failures" that contributed to the McNair delay.
Subcontractors are chosen through a process known as "lowest responsible bidder." Farley would not say whether his team was able to choose subcontractors.
News 2 asked Trey Farley if there were money problems on other current projects. Farley's response to that was, "there is a bond in place on every job you do."
Meanwhile, McNair parents want to know why the school didn't announce the construction delay sooner.
News 2 requested internal Guilford County Schools e-mails. Those e-mails revealed that the district started thinking about backup plans in case of a delay in mid July. That's a whole month before they told parents.
READ HERE: Internal GCS E-mails Reveal Insight About McNair Turmoil
News 2's Liz Crawford asked the school why they didn't tell parents about construction delays when it first became apparent to them that construction was running behind schedule.
Nora Carr is the Chief of Staff for Guilford County Schools.
Carr said, "Hindsight 20/20, we would of, we should of communicated earlier, would have liked to communicated earlier. At the time we really had confidence that we would be in a much better place then where we are right now."
Right now McNair Elementary is still a construction site with leftover material, mounds of dirt, and building supplies.
The district told News 2 that delay concerns surfaced early but they wouldn't share the concerns for legal reasons. They also said they have back-up plans for all their projects. They just don't always feel the need to share them.
"Have we historically told parents every time or the public every time we've got a contingency plan? No, that's part of how we do business," added Carr.
Guilford County Schools said they could not declare Farley Associates, Inc. in default any sooner because of the legal process.
Had they not followed the process, it would have been taxpayers footing the bill to finish the project.
Now, all construction at McNair is delayed until a new general contractor can be hired to finish the project. There is no projected completion date.

If you had to explain your love life with a movie title…What would it be?
Slacker couldn't just chose one movie he chose three; post pregnancy would be Ice Age, Lost in Translation and No Country for Old Men. Steve chose movies for himself Oh God (which is not accurate) Home Alone, and 8 Seconds…Slacker disagreed and chose the movie As Good As It Gets for Steve. Lil D chose the class Top Gun.
I think the movie How to Lose a Guy in 10 days, describes my love life.

University of St. Thomas professor of vocal and choral studies, Dr. Brady Knapp, was invited to Washington, D.C., with Palmer Memorial Episcopal Church choir for a choral residency with the Washington National Cathedral. Knapp, along with six UST music students and alumni, sang during four church services from July 25-28. See the video of the choir's worship service.
The Washington National Cathedral, built more than 100 years ago, regularly hosts funerals and celebrations for national dignitaries. The Cathedral has its own choir during the year, but during summer breaks, it invites outside choirs to perform during worship services.
"You have to send a recording of the group to be selected," Knapp said. "This year, we were one of a handful of visiting choirs selected. We led music for Sunday morning worship services, and we sang Evensong services (sung evening prayer) for over 1,000 worshipers."
Knapp began working at Palmer Memorial 16 years ago during his doctoral studies at Rice University. Since his employment with UST in 2007, Knapp has connected UST music students with Palmer Memorial. The parish offers sacred music internship and scholarships for students interested in musical studies.
"This was a once-in-a-lifetime and enriching opportunity for my choristers and UST students to perform in the Cathedral," Knapp said. "I certainly appreciate all of the donors who sponsored our students, allowing them to experience this incredible tour."
Knapp was accompanied by 49 singers, including his two sons, Emerson and Theodore. Also from the UST community were students Bethany Goldson, Alexandra Summerour, Christian Mondragon, Marissa Sears, Meeka Opong and Adrienne Copeland, along with Sigurd Ogaard, new-appointed adjunct organ instructor and Alan Austin, adjunct violin instructor.
"Performing with Palmer was incredible," Copeland said. "We had been rehearsing for months and we were very well prepared. The entire experience was so surreal."
The group members also toured the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception during their visit.
"I am so grateful for the opportunity, and I consider it a real honor to lead a group at the National Cathedral," Knapp said. "It was a fantastic tour."
Palmer Memorial Episcopal Church is a diverse and urban parish located across the street from Rice University, known for serving meals to homeless daily. The choirs of Palmer have made four international tours to the United Kingdom, several domestic tours, four compact discs and have been featured on National Public Radio's show 'With Heart and Voice' on several occasions during Knapp's tenure. For more information, contact Dr. Brady Knapp at 713-525-3564.

National Alliance on Mental Illness

(800) 950-NAMI; email@example.com
State Legislative Issues
Before there was Domenici-Wellstone, there were state laws that were the first attempts to end insurance discrimination. The idea was modeled on legislation in the 1960s that prohibited cancer exclusions in insurance coverage. Mental health parity was first successful with state employees in Texas, then in Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Maryland.
The early 1990s saw the passage of parity laws in eight states. Although these laws do not apply to ERISA companies, they give employees some protection and they serve to statistically validate the fact that parity is affordable. After passage of the Domenici-Wellstone law, we saw the passage of eight more state parity laws in 1997 and seven (unfortunately three were vetoed) in 1998. In 1999, 12 more states enacted parity laws, and 5 were signed into law in 2000.
This brings the total number of states with parity laws to 32. Now more than half the population lives in states that require non-discriminatory coverage.
Clearly, the trend to pass state parity legislation is picking up momentum. 31 states have introduced new parity bills this year. NAMI state affiliates will continue to seek out legislative leaders to sponsor parity bills of all types in the states with the ultimate goal of ending all insurance discrimination against those who suffer from mental illnesses. NAMI will continue to provide documentation of the experiences of the states that passed parity laws in the early 1990s and other evidence of the affordability of parity and the effectiveness of treatment. NAMI will seek coverage that is equal to that of other medical conditions covered in each policy written, and we will not turn away from this effort until the discrimination has ceased.
For many of our members, the insurance discrimination was and continues to be unexpected, impoverishing, and humiliating. We believe that lack of care, too frequently caused by lack of or hurdles to coverage, has resulted in unnecessary death and wasted lives of many people with great potential.

Economic opportunity
To build a brighter economic future, we know that young people around the world need education, resources and support. Watch the video above to learn how we're empowering young people in Africa to go after their dreams, start their own businesses, and succeed — no matter what challenges they may face.
Markets, whether large or small, keep communities thriving. But conflicts, disasters and a lack of infrastructure can prevent people from conducting the daily transactions on which all growth and progress depend. Around the world, Mercy Corps discovers why commerce is stuck.
In some places, manufacturers need loans to purchase equipment and young people desire job skills. In others, key transportation routes to market must be rebuilt or farmers require better storage to keep their inventory fresh until sold.
Our economic development projects provide financing, equipment, training or technical support. These projects help people find jobs, build their businesses, supply their communities with the goods they need —and improve their lives.

Acoustics of a Particulate-Filter-Like System
Application ID: 10287
This is the model of the acoustics in a particulate-filter-like system. Real systems, like diesel particulate filters (DPFs), are designed to remove/filter soot (diesel particles) from the exhaust of diesel engine vehicles. The porous medium in such systems are typically structured with long air filled slits/chanels. In this 2D axisymmetric model the filter is approximated with a porous material plug with cylindrical slits. Although the main function of a particulate filter is filtering of the exhaust flow, the filter also has acoustic damping properties which relate to the muffler system.
In this model the acoustic properties of a simplified 2D axisymmetric particulate-filter like geometry are analyzed using the Poroelastic Waves Interface. The poroelastic wave model describes the small-deformation elastic waves propagating in a porous material coupled to waves in a fluid. The model accounts for the coupled displacement and is thus a fluid-structure interaction problem.

|Holyoke Dragons prevail in Phillips County Shootout
|Written by April Peregoy
For the second time this season, county rivals Holyoke and Haxtun met on the court to battle it out in the Phillips County Shootout held at HHS on Friday, Jan. 16.
Haxtun's boys' basketball team was ready to put up a fight against the undefeated Dragons, keeping the score tight throughout the game. Crowds on both sides of the court were on their feet for the final exciting minutes, cheering as loud as they could for their home teams. However, it was Holyoke who prevailed in the end, winning the game by eight points, 39-31, to give them a ninth straight victory.
"They played well," Baumgartner said of the Bulldogs. "I've got to give credit to Coach Gerk. They were prepared for us this time."
The coach added the Haxtun team came out ready to play in the first quarter, but Holyoke was looking a little sluggish. Five Dragons contributed 13 points, including three three-point field goals; still Haxtun had the one-point lead at the end of the eight minutes.
Second quarter action saw both teams struggling as they tried to find a way to the basket. This led to single digits being earned on both sides, with Holyoke adding only three and Haxtun five.
Down by three, 16-19, at the start of the second half, HHS returned with more intensity, especially on defense. A three-point field goal scored by Ryan Baumgartner, followed quickly by Austin Tharp's two baskets from the free-throw line tied the game up in the third quarter at 23 points. Two more threes thrown up by Tharp and Evan Swanson pushed Holyoke into the lead at the end of the quarter, 29-27.
Despite Haxtun's best efforts, the Dragons held on to their edge for the rest of the game by shutting down the Bulldogs' offense. With four of their last baskets coming from the line, Holyoke won the game by eight.
"Our defense during the second half kept us in the game," said Baumgartner, who pointed out the Bulldogs made fewer points in the whole second half than they did during the first quarter.
Some key outside baskets didn't hurt either. Out of the six field goals scored in the ending half, four were three-pointers. Still, added Baumgartner, the team had a hard time underneath the basket.
Turnovers were a problem for Holyoke's players Friday night, with the team losing 16 total—the most of any game they've played so far this season. "We did not take care of the ball," said Baumgartner.
Looking ahead to the rest of the season, the coach said his team needs to be more consistent offensively. "We need to get better on the inside because the season's not going to get any easier," he said.
Referring to Friday night's game, he added his players need to keep out of foul trouble as well, so they can be sure of staying in the whole game.
Tharp led the team offensively with 14 points. Holyoke made 12 of 37 attempts for a shooting average of 32 percent on Friday. Haxtun was 13 for 42 at 31 percent. At the line, the Dragons made 67 percent, while Haxtun shot at only 33 percent.
Defensively, Baumgartner applauded Michal Brown for "filling the hole on the inside." During Friday night's game he pulled down seven rebounds, blocked four shots and put up six points.
In other stats, HHS outrebounded the Bulldogs 32-25, and snatched 10 steals over Haxtun's eight.

May 31, 2016
LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- Michigan lawmakers are planning to consider a bill that would require welfare applicants and recipients to pass drug tests.
Republican-sponsored legislation being considered Wednesday by a House committee would establish a program of suspicion-based substance abuse screening and testing for Family Independence Program applicants and recipients who are at least 18 years old.
A similar bill won approval last year in the House but died in the Senate.
Michigan briefly ran a pilot program to drug test welfare recipients in 1999. The American Civil Liberties Union sued, and a federal appeals court affirmed a lower court's order halting the program. Part of the legal challenge was based on the claim that constitutional rights were violated because testing was done without "individualized suspicion."
