Also, if you live in an area where the police use Shotspotter, you might run into difficulties, as I believe it can tell the difference between semi and auto fire.

Also, if you live in an area where the police use Shotspotter, you might run into difficulties, as I believe it can tell the difference between semi and auto fire.

Bumpfiring is not illegal. What would you be charged with? Personally I don't believe in going beyond the letter of the law.
I saw an interesting device the other day. It was a crank type trigger for a 10/22 . I know most of them don't work because you end up firing out of battery. This one had a bolt close safety/safety sear incorporated into the trigger pack to prevent the hammer from falling unless the bolt was fully closed. Great idea and they were running out 50 rounds in 5 seconds without fault. Total waste of ammo but totally legal.
Was the "safety sear" part of the crank assembly or part of the FCG? If part of the FCG, it is only a disabled disconnector away from being an MG, which is why the semi auto L1A1 rifles are banned from import.
Keep in mind the SKS uses a safety sear as does the winchester 100 . I think the restriction comes if the gun type had been used as a full auto ever. An L1A1 would convert easily. An SKS might take a dumb monkey an hour or so to make timed full auto.
Ah, looking at the vid it interacts with the disconnector, preventing it from resetting until the bolt is closed. That isn't technically a safety sear as it doesn't interact directly with the hammer. That should not be a problem as disabling the disconnector would also disable the thingie they add and just result in hammer follow.
word to big bird!
Yes, you can be accurate with sustained automatic fire... when shooting prone and with a bipod. I know of a sweet shooting G3 that can make a nice "void" in a target out to some distance while sustaining automatic fire. Even in this case, the G3 was acting as a SAW, not a battle rifle for which it was designed.
Legalities are often annoying and sometimes completely useless, but in general, they stop stupid people from doing something even more stupid.
Hey guys, I am new to this forum but not new to AK-47's! I must say, I agree with all of your thoughts on NOT converting your AK from semi to full auto. However, I have been shooting AK's for many years now and I promise you, there is absolutely NO comparison between the two! I have had the luxury of unlimited ammo and a safe place to shoot, which alleviates some of your concerns, but there is nothing in the world like shooting a fully automatic AK-47!
Here where I live in the big city you can find a range that has Full auto for rent ,$30 firearm rental,UZI,M16, THOMPSON,M2carbine,makes for a great date and its a hoot------------and Legal::wow:
So does this mean the semi auto version of the Ak can't handle rapid pulls of the trigger or bump firing with out jamming or failing? Or how about the bumpfire stock from slide fire solutions?

Peter Wolf Crier's new release, "Garden of Arms" is a tuneful, atmospheric record that also rocks, in its own loopy, hipster sort of way. Despite their quirky name that will have J. Geils Band fans scratching their heads, the melodic, moody Minneapolis, Minn., duo have made one of the must-have indie-rock records of 2011.
Released on Jagjaguwar Records, home to arguably the nation's hippest band Bon Iver, this sophomore release (available Tuesday) from the duo of Peter Pisano and Brian Moen shines on catchy tracks like "Settle It Off," "Haunt Me." But they're hard to buttonhole and surprising moves like having the repetitive drone of "Loud Enough To Know," eventually explode into soaring harmonies is reflective of the band's divergent sound. There's not a weak track among the 11 here, and "Never Meant To Love You," is a bittersweet ballad delivered in leather-jacket tough tones.
Also songs like "Having It Out" and "Right Away" will be stuck in your head for days after you hear them or even longer if you're like me and listen to this album virtually nonstop for a few days. These guys are under the radar currently, but don't expect them to stay there.
And best of all, Salt Lake residents can see the duo perform the songs live Oct. 28 at Kilby Court.

Women's Volleyball
News: Bill Sanchez To Coach PCC Women's Volleyball In 2013
Pasadena City College has announced that Bill Sanchez will assume the duties of interim head women's volleyball coach for the 2013 season. Tammy Silva, the Lancers' head coach for the past six seasons, is taking a one year sabbatical from coaching and is expected to return for the 2014 season.
Silva will continue her full-time faculty position at the college.
Sanchez, about to begin his sixth season in charge of PCC's successful women's badminton program, coached girls volleyball during his 20 years of teaching at Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy (1985-2005). Sanchez played collegiately as an All-Metropolitan Conference setter at Los Angeles Valley College.
Silva turned the PCC volleyball program into a state power, including coaching the Lancers to their first two South Coast Conference titles in 2009 and in 2012. Since becoming head coach in 2006, Silva compiled a 113-35 record at PCC for an outstanding .764 winning percentage.
In '09, she was honored nationally as the AVCA Community College Coach of the Year and was chosen the 2009-2010 South Coast Conference Coach of the Year for all sports.
Sanchez has also put together a winning run at PCC in coaching the Lancers to four consecutive SCC titles (2009-2012) in badminton, and guiding the development of last year's state individual singles champion Angie Ortiz. The 2010 team finished as state runner-up.
Release Date: 02/15/2013
SERVICE ALERT: PCC will be launching an updated version of this website on Tuesday, June 28, and Wednesday, June 29. During that time, you may notice some changes to content, layout, and functionality of the site, and there may be interruptions in service. We appreciate your patience during the launch, and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Mad Men Returns
Light up a Lucky, pour yourself a lowball of Maker's Mark, and settle down for two hours of fine TV. Mad Men returns Sunday.
To fill the restless hours until the show returns, here is some video and reading from around the Internet.
Mad Men, the greatest TV show about marketing since Bewitched, is sometimes described as a show about the Golden Age of advertising, but Droga5 creative chairman David Droga says the Golden Age is just starting now. Watch a video interview:
The proliferation of digital channels, along with increased customer resistance to ads, makes advertising more interesting and creative today than it was in the Mad Men era, when print was the main focus, with TV and radio secondary. "We might not dress as snappy as them, but I feel like there's more interesting things going on this year" Droga says.
Two women who could have served as role models for the show's Peggy Olsen speak out. Jane Maas was a creative director at Ogilvy & Mather during that era, working on General Foods and SC Johnson. Women weren't allowed to work on automobile accounts or financial accounts.
And Eleanor Clift writes at fascinating length about the show for Newsweek. Like Olsen, Clift started as a secretary from a blue collar background in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, and rose to a position of responsibility. In Clift's case, she worked for Newsweek and ended up as a Washington correspondent.
The two days I spent hanging around the set of Mad Men were like entering a time capsule that took me back to that period in the 60s, everything from the pencil skirts and stockings with garters to the electric typewriter that was the latest technology. Critics have assailed the way everybody on the show smokes, glorifying a nasty habit that carries significant health risks. But thats the way it was then. The public high school I attended in Queens even let us out for a smoking break.
Both Maas and Clift say the workplace sexual promiscuity portrayed on Mad Men is pretty authentic; men back then treated the women (or should I say girls?) in the office like a shared harem, and some of the women saw sleeping with the men as a means of career advancement.
Another area where Mad Men takes heat is in its portrayal of race relations. None of the major characters is black, only one recurring character was. She was a maid, and she left the show after her character was fired. But Slate's Tanner Colby defends Mad Men, saying it's not the show that's to blame, it's the era.
Mad Men is an accurate portrayal of a lily-white culture. The show's ad agency, Sterling Cooper, is a midsized, struggling firm driven by a single genius -- Don Draper -- with a crew of mediocrities. All the characters are either hanging onto the aristocracy by their fingernails (like Pete) or desperate to become aristocrats (like Don). These are not people who would have taken risks by embracing racial equality; they would, instead, seek to fanatically preserve the status quo. And the show, as it enters the late 60s, is likely to see social change thrust racial equality on its characters and institutions.
Get caught up on the previous seasons of Mad Men with this refresher, which includes a YouTube clip of an old Leggs pantyhose commercial, and an aside about the role of swimming pools in the show that will be intriguing to former English majors.
Finally, Ad Age's Martin Bihl recommends a wheelbarrow-load of books written during and about that culture, including David Ogilvy's memoir, Confessions of an Advertising Man, which inspired Roger Sterling to publish his own memoirs. That book, Sterling's Gold, is in real life filled with Sterling's witticisms, wisecracks, and inappropriate remarks.

In his latest novel, this prolific man of letters focuses on one of his most engaging subjects: the inner lives of women. The story begins off the coast of Santa Barbara in 1888, as highborn Marantha Waters, ill with consumption, makes an arduous ocean journey to an untamed and windy island for the "virginal air" her husband insists will cure her. She is thrown into the role of sheep rancher's wife, testing her very notion of herself as a genteel sophisticate. Many years later, it is headstrong Edith, Marantha's adopted daughter, who tries to escape both the confines of the island and the family misery. Then, at the onset of the Great Depression, the island welcomes Elise—a happy bride, all strength to her husband's fragility. In this ruminative novel, Boyle devotes meticulous attention to the unforgiving weather and the challenges of sheer survival, to the mute compromises of marriage and to the unspoken experience of all women who rage, endure and prevail. —Susanna Sonnenberg

Is my 9-year-old ready for a Facebook page? Many children are wired with cell phones, computers and internet access. The benefits of these resources allow children to learn firsthand about the World Wide Web. Parents and caregivers can help children navigate these tools - and help ensure their safety - by supervising use, making rules, enforcing restrictions and talking about dangerous activity on the super highways.
Where do I start? Adults can start the conversation by presenting these guidelines regarding terms of use of cell phones, text messaging, and social media networking.
The cell phone is a communication tool to keep us connected and to keep you safe. The computer is a tool to help with homework, do research for school and personal projects.
The computer is a tool to play games and connect with friends and family.
If you are being harassed, tell an adult as soon as it starts. Log off the computer, but do not delete any negative messages. Share them with an adult.
Hurting others by using a cell phone (texting or forwarding photos), or while on the internet is inappropriate and could be illegal. You will notify an adult if you know of another person being hurt on the internet or through instant messaging.
If someone wants to meet you, you will inform an adult even if you decide not to meet him or her. If the adult agrees to the meeting, you will be sure that it is in a public place and you are with an adult.
The computer is placed in a family/common room with appropriate adult supervision.
The computer has parental controls and filters to protect the computer from viruses and inappropriate content.
Think about what you say or post. You should not say or post anything that you would not say or do in public.
Let us talk about the language of chatting, text messaging, and instant messaging. IKR! LOL!
Protecting your personal information, address, telephone and cell phone numbers, school sports team and family routine is important. If someone wants a picture, you will first ask an adult.

Hello forum members,
I am a java developer but totally new to the NXT. My OS is SUSE linux 10.2.
I downloaded leJOS (0.6 beta) and followed the instructions in the README file. I successfully flashed the NXT using the USB connection and it now had leJOS on it (coming up with the logo and then a basic menu).
Now I try nxjc Tune.java and that works on the PC, but the next command, to load and run the Tune class on the brick, fails with this error:
leJOS NXJ> Linking...
leJOS NXJ> Uploading...
Found nxt name Unknown address
an error occurred: No NXT found - is it switched on and plugged in (for USB)?
The USB cable is still connected and the brick is on. I have libusb (0.1.12) untarred into /usr/local/libusb-0.1.12 and this path is added to both my PATH and CLASSPATH environment variables.
So the question is what obvious mistake am I making?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

La Monnaie ¦ Opera ¦ Rigoletto ¦ Intro
Giuseppe Verdi
How far are we prepared to go in accepting the vices of someone close to us? For the hunchback Rigoletto, court jester to the Duke of Mantua, the limit is reached when his master, a licentious multiple philander, seduces his daughter, Gilda. But when the jester's revenge becomes embroiled with the curse against him… Verdi premiered Rigoletto in 1851, an opera created with his librettist Francesco Maria Piave and adapted from Victor Hugo's Le Roi s'amuse. It was a triumph. This opera occupies a special place in the composer's canon: it marks the beginning of the mature period of his career during which he would go on to compose Il Trovatore and La Traviata. The Canadian director, Robert Carsen, after his Mitridate in 2007, is back at La Monnaie to direct Rigoletto. Conductor Carlo Rizzi pays tribute to the Italian composer.

" Service: Window and conservatory installers / Location: 211a Marsland Road, Sale, Cheshire, M33 3ND / Double Glazing "
From our first contact with MWf we have felt that we were in good hands. Reading all the positive reviews on the net reassured us that we would be dealing with professionals but until you actually use a product/service you never really know what you are going to get. We have been really impressed by the attention to detail. Danny went through lots of things others hadn't even thought of (like using black window cills to match the original character of the house) which made us think he really cares about getting the job right......not just getting the order!! The locking system is by far the best we have seen and the additional cost of this system didn't blow us away. They were still marginally cheaper than one of the big companies but more expensive than the local ones. On the whole I think that for the whole job we job the best value for money. Everybody concerned has communicated well with us and made sure we were happy at every step. We are so glad we chose them and will be using them again in the future.
Danny and Alex are true professionals. We had all the windows and doors fitted to our bungalow in Stockport and the whole process ran like clockwork. There was never any pressure to sign up and, when we did take the plunge, they were in constant contact with us, letting us know what was happening at each stage of the process. Despite a manufacturing error with one of the glazed units, the job ran smoothly and was completed on time. Alex called to check on progress on day three, which we found reassuring. This company knows what their customers want and shows them respect throughout. We may have a conservatory next year and it is nice to know we have a good company we can rely on to deliver what we want.
After sitting through hours and hours of sales speel we were getting really fed up and just wanted to place an order, but we weren't comfortable with the people we had in. Thinking 'better the devil you know' we had pretty much decided to go with Everest as they have been around for years and have a good reputation-or so we thought. We did a bit of digging around on the net before placing our order and read countless horror stories about them so I think we had a lucky escape. I suppose, to be fair, most people only write reviews when they are peed off but some of the stories of the after sales and the sales tactics put is right off. We found MWF while doing this research and I'm so glad we did. Just like the reviews have said, Danny came round, discussed our requirements, told us a little bit about his company and left. He emailed us a quote that evening for us to consider and that was it. Needless to say, they got the job. The work has been completed to a very high standard and Danny and Alex both called to see us as the work progressed to ensure that we were happy with everything. All in all this has been a pleasant experience and nothing like what we had feared. We are so glad we did our homework before taking the plunge and will be using these review sites again before any other major purchases. Kind regards Jane Grayson
We had a large project to complete so decided to do it in stages and used MWF each time. We started with the front windows as these required the most urgent attention. To retain the character of the property we wanted the stained glass to be kept but, as they were in such poor condition, weren't sure if this would be possible. Paul, their stained glass expert, called to see the job first and said it wouldn't be a problem despite the fact that they were very badly bowed. We had seen on their website that they specialised in these things but we were still anxious to see how it would look. Well, they look amazing. The bows have been taken out and any cracked glass has been replaced with an exact match. I really wasn't expecting anything quite this good! The next project was the rear windows and these too look wonderful. They had too replace a lintel above one of them but only charged us the cost price for it-which was good of them. They have just finished by replacing the rear porch and tiled roof and, once again, the standard of workmanship has been really high. I think the reason for these high standards lies in the fact that Danny and Alex have a good relationship with their fitting teams. I have had workers in the past who have done nothing but complain about their employers, but these fitters have been different. They seem to want to go the extra mile too keep customers happy. I suppose they like working for a company with a good reputation as this keeps them busy. It's no wonder that we had to wait six weeks when all the others were telling us 2-3 weeks but it was worth the wait each time.
We did a lot of research into which companies offered the most energy efficient products. It was through this research that we concluded we would either be placing an order with manchester window factory or Everest. We invited both to quote as well as another local firm offering slightly less energy efficient products just to get a cost comparison. Manchester window factory came out on top as their Planitherm glass coupled with argon gas and beautiful looking products was by far the best option. The fact that they employ their window fitters was also a massive plus. The work has now been completed and we are very happy with the finished job and highly recommend them. Thanks. David Turner, Wilmslow
Very happy to say we went with this company and they delivered on their promises. Danny came to see us at the time arranged and was pleasant and advised us about different options we could choose from including hinges, glass types an so on. His price was fair for the quality of the product. The chap who came to measure up turned up when he said he would and walked round the job with us to make sure we were happy with all of the designs. Alex called us to book in a fit date and sure enough, 6 weeks later the fitters turned up on the dot and got to work. They worked non stop and tidied as they went, my wife was so please as she was a little apprehensive about the mess but needn't have been. This is an A1 company and we would certainly recommend them to anyone thinking about having double glazing done. Barry and Sheila, North Yorks
The Deceuninck 2800 series with A rated glass and sac bolt locking was the best product we found after doing lots of research for our windows. We have found a noticeable difference in both acoustic and thermal efficiency. The windows feel very secure and the quality of the installation matches that of the product itself. The installation was handled professionally from start to finish. No complaints at all.
We had windows fitted by them six years ago and had a problem with the handle on our kitchen window. When we called them about this we were told that the mechanism was now obsolete but they would look into it for us. Alex called us back the same day to let us know that he had sourced one for us and somebody would be round the next day to fix it. Sure enough the next day they were there and the problem was fixed.
Alex and Danny should be very proud of their company. They work very hard to look after their customers. I'm sure not all companies out there are this good. As Alex said to me, you find out what a company is really like after you have paid them and you need them back. This company do come back and are really trustworthy and honour the guarantees they give.
I have recently had all of my windows replaced by this company. I live in a Victorian house and was really conscious of keeping the character of the house unlike some of my neighbours grrrrrrrr. Hardwood was the only option for me. Getting quotes for plastic windows is easy but there really aren't many options for hardwood. I had two guys round from local joinery shops and neither of them even bothered getting back to me. I came across this company after speaking to a friend who had recently had work done by them so I called and invited them to quote without much hope after my past experiences with other firms. Anyway, Danny came to visit me the next day. He went through the house with me and asked me how I'd like the windows to look. He explained that he could match the existing windows exactly as their windows were bespoke and could be manufactured to virtually any design. He explained where the timber was from sourced from and that they were FSC certified which was important to me. I didn't realise that there were so many options for hardwood in terms of paint finsh, locking mechanisms, and most importantly the glass types. Danny priced my windows three different ways in order for me to think about exactly what I wanted and so as I could make an 'informed decision' as he quite rightly put it. I was really impressed that he was able to work the prices out there and then. I ended up plumping for the highest specifications as the thermal properties, sustainability of the timber as well as the aesthetics were all of great importance to me. Six weeks later, as arranged, the joiners turned up to fit the windows. They worked very hard and were really careful when taking my old windows out and putting the new ones in. The end product is superb and my home has now been transformed by my new windows. It has only been a couple of days and it is noticeably warmer and definitely looks the best house in the street. I'm just so proud and happy to have such a beautiful job with no dramas by a well run company. Thank you, I wish you all the best for the future.
Me and my husband moved into our new house a few months back and double glazing was on our 'to do' list. But we kept putting it off, mainly because we dreaded the thought of pushy salesmen coming round, and being made to feel under pressure in our own home. This had happened to us before!
So, we did some research and after reading customer experiences of MWF on sites like this, decided to give them a try. From the start, we weren't disappointed. Danny came round one night, stayed for about half an hour and gave us a quote. We didn't sign up right away because we wanted time to think it through and that was fine. When we did decide to proceed, everything went smoothly. There was the odd hitch here and there, but we were always kept well informed at every stage and any issues we had were dealt with promptly.
We now have some great looking windows and a bit more faith that there are good companies out there if you look hard enough. Which is also why we thought we should do our bit to help other concerned customers by sharing our good experience of MWF on this site!
Our main concern in choosing a company to replace all of our windows and doors was to find a company we felt we could trust to not only provide a high level of products and workmanship, but to come back if there were any problems in the future. We bought a conservatory off one the bigger companies in 2006 after falling for a flashy sales promotion and had nothing but trouble and, in the end, had to get the problems resolved ourselves.
We hired Manchester Windows to do our windows and doors because we felt comfrotable in Danny's presence. We had read the reviews on the net, which were reassuring, before inviting them in. Danny's approach was different. He didn't seem to be desperate to get the job and was happy for us to consider his proposal for a couple of days before giving him the go-ahead.
The work was begun five weeks later and took three days to complete. The installation team did a good job and the house was treated with respect, which is something we were grateful for.
The main reason for writing this review, however, is to highlight their after-care. We had a problem with a door lock after about six months and called the office to get it fixed. The lady in the office was extremely pleasant and professional and promised that it would be dealt with immediately. Alex called me back within five minutes!!!! As all his teams were busy, and as I live locally, he came straight round to have a look. It turns out it was a faulty barrel which needed to be replaced. He went away and came back an hour later and changed it. WOW! Compared to our experience with our last company this was fantastic.
I don't usually write reviews, but this level of service deserves high praise. I am so glad we chose Manchester Windows and will recommend them to everybody I know.
Ours was quite a tricky job and not one that many windows companies wanted to take on as we have a 15th cottage with wattle and daub walls. My wife had read some excellent reviews on another site about the manchester window factory and I found them on this site after a little more homework. I can honestly say that we were more than a little apprehensive when looking for a reputable firm to carry out the work for us, so we did a lot of research first before inviting anyone round. Without question, Danny and his brother Alex stood out from the crowd. Firstly in their not insisting that both my wife and I were in at the same time to quote, although to be honest we wanted to be as we always make the big decisions together. Next was the fact that when Danny called to visit he knew exactly what was required in order to give the best possible finish to our awkward walls and explained exactly how they would propose to do the job. He then showed us a sample product which is of the highest quality and worked out the price for us whilst he was here. The price was a little more than we had expected but we were more than happy that they would complete the project to a very high standard as they have their own employed window fitters. The price was emailed to us and we thought it over for a couple of days before calling to place the order. Within 48 hours, Bob the surveyor called to survey the work and he booked us in for an installation date some 4 weeks later. Mark and Lee turned up at 8am on the agreed day to fit the windows and they got straight to work and didn't leave each evening until they had left the place clean and tidy. The work took a total of 5 days and went swimmingly. We paid on completion and within 2 weeks received our insurance backed warranty and document L, A rated certificate as promised. We would dearly love to have a conservatory, however this is a listed building and not possible. If we do move and my wife wants one at the new place we won't hesitate to call Danny and Alex in again. Thank you for a job well done and for looking after us and our home throughout the process.
I work for one of the national window companies in the sales office and see all the tricks the salesmen use and brag about, and the fitters who laugh about how they got away with doing a shoddy job. No way did I want my windows done by them. I looked this site and the Review centre to find a company that would offer a good product at a fair price and more importantly, a company that had its own 'in house' installation teams. It's really difficult to find a window company to trust as the industry has such a bad reputation. Luckily, we found manchester windows. After making my initial inquiry on-line I was contacted by Danny who arranged to visit me a couple of days later. He turned up on the dot, listened to what I wanted, explained how the company was run and what I could expect and finally gave me one price and all within 40 minutes :) I felt very confident that they would do a good job for me and they have. Their installers are neat and tidy and really seem to take pride in their work. All my windows and doors have now been installed to a very high standard and the quality of their products makes the house look 10 times better than it did before. I only hope that if they need any more staff in their offices they would give me a call as I would love to work for a company like this, hint hint :). Joking apart, I am happy to refer this company to anyone thinking of having new windows or doors as they are honest, straightforward and easy to deal with. Thank you very much manchester windows you have another very happy customer.
We did a lot of research before deciding on the company we wanted to build our conservatory. In the end we decided to use Manchester Window Factory and the end result is stunning.
Like most people, we asked for three quotes, one from a local company, one from a national and the last from MWF. Having read good reviews on several consumer sites, we felt that they would fit the bill for us so decided to give them a try.
While the rep from our local company seemed nice enough, he did not seem that knowledgable when it came to the exact design specification of our build (as well as living on quite a steep hill we needed a non standard box-gutter to be installed). Although they were the cheapest of the three, they didn't fill us with confidence. This is a job we only want to do once and it needed to be right!!
The rep from the national company can only be described as a JOKE! We had done a lot of research of our own, so knew certain spec. that we wanted (self-cleaning solar glass etc.) yet this rep just kept pushing their products. He was not interested in what we wanted at all. Then came the price!!!!!!! After starting at £48,000, he then came down to £35,000 and then £28,000. When we said we wanted to think about it he called his boss and the price came down to £25,000, but only if signed there and then. It was at this point that we asked him to leave. It disgusts me that these companies try to charge almost double the real price.
What a different experience with Danny. He came to see us and listened to what we wanted. He made a few suggestions which we took on board. He gave us one price and emailed it to us to consider. When we decided to place the order, he returned with his brother, Alex and the surveyor and we all went over the spec. with a fine tooth comb. The work began 7 weeks later.
All of the trades on the project have been extremely tidy and respectful of our property. The bricklayer was particularly neat, tidying everything away at the end of each day. This was not necessary but it gave us an overall good impression that our build was being handled by the right people.
Along the way there have been a couple of very minor issues but their communication with us has been excellent. The French doors opened the wrong way initially but they soon overcame this and any other little issues were dealt with swiftly and with little fuss.
All in all the job they have done for us is fantastic. These guys really know their stuff and won't try to pull the wool over your eyes. What we hoped for is exactly what we now have. Best of all, the final invoice total was the same as the price we were intially quoted.....to the penny. In short VERY VERY HAPPY!
It took us nearly three years to save for our windows and doors so it was really important that we made the right decision when choosing a company to use. The reps from the larger companies just seemed to want to rip us off and sell us expensive finance packages. Danny seemed to be honest and had excellent product knowledge so we decided to go with him. The fitting team arrived each day at 8.30am and cleaned up before they left. The windows and doors look great and the new composite door is really sturdy and feels very secure. In terms of finishing off you can tell they have taken their time as it looks really neat. In general we could not be happier that we chose manchester window factory and are happy to recommend them.

As seen on the National Geographic Channel.
Price: $24.95
Founding father, commander of the Continental Army and America's first presidentGeorge Washington's face is as familiar as the dollar bill. Today, archaeologists, scientists and historians are applying innovative forensic techniques to reveal the man behind the myth. We join a team, funded by the National Geographic Society, that has discovered the ruins of George Washington's childhood homeits exact location had been a mystery until now. As they comb the site, they unearth two cellars and a collection of incredible artifacts that help set the record straight on his fabled youth. Then, despite Washington's dignified image, we learn he engaged in the dirty business of espionage. During the American Revolution, he habitually used secret codes, invisible ink and misinformation to deceive the British. We also unearth reminders of his intimate relationship with slavery at his Mount Vernon estate and executive mansion. Finally, watch forensic investigators re-create Washington's facenot as painters and sculptors have romanticized him, but as The Real George Washington.

Very negative opinion of George

About Me Avid Moviegoer

Comments about The Real George Washington DVD:
After readying several good factual books about George Washington, it is clear that this movie was created to stretch certain events in his life to as negative a perspective as possible, and ignore most of the events and evidence in his life that prove his high character, and moral integrity.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Mayor Moore imposes utility moratorium
ELKHART — Mayor Dick Moore on Wednesday, April 10, doubled down on two fronts in the on-going commercial sewer compact dispute.
Less than a day after the Indiana House of Representatives voted to support an amendment aimed at giving commercial customers outside of the city an opportunity to appeal sewer fee hikes, Moore announced an immediate moratorium on any new sewer and water connections outside of the city.
Moore said the move is an attempt for state lawmakers to rethink support for an amendment authored by State Rep. Tim Wesco, R-Osceola.
The amendment, which would be less constraining on municipalities compared with other ideas that were considered, was attached to Senate Bill 385.
Wesco described the amendment passed by the House as a "balanced approach" toward protecting customers outside of the city that he says are being unfairly "coerced" into paying much higher fees.
But Moore issued a terse assessment in announcing the moratorium and said he and his legal staff would review their options in case the legislation becomes law.
"The people of the city of Elkhart hope that reasonable legislators will stop this bill in its current form," Moore said in a prepared statement. "We encourage the local representatives to respond to our pleas on behalf of the city." He criticized Wesco and Rep. Tim Neese, R-Elkhart, for supporting the measure.
Earlier this month, Moore accused Wesco of "meddling" in the affairs of the city. On Wednesday, Moore said Wesco had failed to meet with the city administration to "fully comprehend the issue."
However, Wesco said late Wednesday night that he had met with a city attorney, which he said helped result in the compromise approach.
The amendment adopted by the House simply allows for appeal and would not affect standing agreements, Wesco said.
He said he was disappointed to learn of the moratorium.
"Based on the response with the mayor today, I don't think he's interested in really pursuing any compromise, but I do hold out hope that city council will continue to address this issue," Wesco said.
Moore said the moratorium will remain until other viable options are in place.
The amended bill will now either be voted on by the full Senate or a conference committee, Wesco said.
The new city policy shifts 75 businesses from the old traditional sewer service agreements in which the businesses have paid 300 percent of what they would pay for usage if located inside the city limits.
The policy has been heavily criticized by several council members and has drawn attention from Elkhart County officials and some state lawmakers. It relies on a formula based on assessed property values instead of usage.
Businesses contend their fees could rise between 500 and 1,200 percent in many cases, depending on the value of their property.
Another 63 businesses outside of the city have been on the compact plan for years. The city ordinance passed last November is an attempt to level the playing field by placing all companies on the same policy.
In a related matter, Moore informed council members Wednesday that he will not consider any further compromises to the controversial policy beyond what he has suggested.
That statement came before a two-and-a-half hour meeting Wednesday night in which council listened to concerns from business owners.
Moore's statement was spurred by council members who asked if he would consider new changes to the policy.
Moore has already offered two compromises in an effort to tamp criticism. His phase-in of fees over a two-year period was approved last month by the city council.
He also recently proposed reducing the assessed value formula from 75 percent to 50 percent. That plan has not yet been formally submitted to the city council for consideration. It would also change the policy name from "compact" to PILOT, which is short for "payment in lieu of taxes."
The email from Moore to council members reads in part: "The administration's decision is that we have offered our last compromise. We are unwavering in our decision because we feel it is in the best interest of the people of Elkhart."
Commercial customers outside of the city have complained that the policy based on assessed value would cause fees to skyrocket. Some of them have called it a "money grab" by the city and took their concerns to Wesco and other state lawmakers.
Some business owners and city council members contend the fee should be based on usage, but Moore has said changes in state law now prohibit that option.
More than 15 people spoke during Wednesday's council meeting and all voiced objections to the existing policy. Councilman David Henke said he would like to strike some kind of compromise based on usage and criticized the mayor's decision to oppose further changes and the fact that Moore choose not to attend Wednesday's meeting.
"That makes it hard to work with him," Henke said.
Businessman Steve Schemenauer urged the the council to take action on its own.
A spokesman for Pro Air said the existing policy could stand in the way of the company's expansion plans.
Council president Ron Troyer scheduled the meeting as a fact-finding session so council would have a better understanding of the issues when it begins deliberating Moore's 50 percent PILOT proposal.
Moore's newest plan will likely be assigned to a committee next week.

Danny Lyon Criticizes Media; Says How He Would Edit National Geographic Magazine
Photojournalist Danny Lyon delivered a sharp critique of the media, explained the main goal of his career, and reminisced about his work on the civil rights movement, motorcycle gangs and Texas prisoners at a rare public appearance last week.
Lyon was the headliner at the 2014 National Geographic Photography Seminar, a day-long event held January 9 before a standing-room-only crowd at the National Geographic offices in Washington, DC.
"I took it for granted that all the magazines lied, and since I chose the media as my field I was determined to create an American media that was truthful," Lyon said during his talk.
He also imagined himself as editor of National Geographic, and suggested story ideas that would probably rile the magazine's audience (read on for details).
In addition to Lyon, photographers Tyler Hicks, Wayne Lawrence, David Maisel, Newsha Tavakolian, and Vince Musi lectured about their careers and past projects. Media artist Hasan Elahi also gave a talk about his surveillance project.
Following is an edited transcript of Lyon's talk.

2 Deltona High students arrested after gun found
Published: Thursday, February 7, 2013 at 7:28 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 7, 2013 at 10:25 p.m.
Two Deltona High School students were arrested Thursday after officials say they brought a loaded gun to school.
Erick Graham, 16, and Curtis Peterson, 17, are charged with possession of a firearm on a school campus, Volusia County sheriff's spokesman Gary Davidson said in a release.
Graham was escorted to the dean's office after a campus adviser saw Graham acting suspiciously and thought a drug transaction had just taken place, Davidson said. A search of Graham's backpack yielded a .25-caliber handgun, loaded with one bullet, tucked inside a sock.
A sheriff's school resource deputy was called to investigate, and Graham initially told the deputy he knew nothing about the gun or how it got into his backpack, Davidson said. Peterson later came forward and admitted the gun belonged to him and that he had bought it in Sanford.
Peterson told the deputy he bought it for protection against some people in his neighborhood he claims had been threatening him, Davidson said. The deputy later discovered the two teens slept at Graham's house Wednesday night, and Peterson claimed that's when he put the gun in his friend's backpack without telling him.
The investigation revealed that wasn't true, however, after another student said he saw Peterson pull the gun out in front of Graham and then put it in Graham's backpack, Davidson said. Graham and Peterson eventually admitted to the whole thing.
Both students were taken to the Volusia Regional Juvenile Detention Center late Thursday afternoon, Davidson said.

Houston's Tier One University
When the Carnegie Foundation elevated the University of Houston to Tier One status in 2011, the designation made the university one of only three public Tier One research universities in the state of Texas, along with the University of Texas and Texas A&M.
Not only did Tier One status verify the university's excellence, it also helped reap economic and educational benefits for the city, the region and the state. The University of Houston alone generates over $3 billion for the city of Houston every year. Simply put, when the city of Houston's namesake university does well, so does the city of Houston.
The achievement was momentous, and arrived more quickly than almost any of us imagined. The city of Houston continues to evolve at a faster pace than other cities in America. As Houston's namesake university we must keep pace with the momentum of the city. There is still room for growth to solidify our place among nationally competitive research universities, including broadening our overall excellence and strengthening our performance and reputation for student success. We are firmly committed to achieving those goals, and transforming the University of Houston into the Tier One university that Houston deserves.

Reviews for Baked Garlic Green Beans
"I've made this twice and I don't know what it is, but there's something that doesn't taste right . My husband asked me to delete this from my Recipe Box."
"Great, easy to make side dish!! I added in a couple tablespoons of bacon bits which gave it a nice smoky flavor."
"When we made this recipe, we ended up wanting to eat this as much or more than the main dish. It's hard to get everyone to eat vegetables in my family, this is an excellent dish!"
"Added extra garlic and a little extra cheese/breadcrumb mixture. I didn't have any minced onion so I just added some onion powder. Really yummy!"
"I made this recipe twice. I used dried garlic. I also used organic apple cider vinegar. Next time I would make more topping. I did not have bread crumbs so I crushed up some ranch croutons."

RECEPTION FOR THE ARTIST: Wednesday, November 6. 6 - 8 PM.
THE BOONE FAMILY ART GALLERY at the new Center for the Arts, Pasadena City College
Bob Zoell's spot paintings, made in the late 1980s and early '90s, are dazzlingly meticulous formal variations on the motif of the spot. Yet, as the critic Peter Clothier writes, something else is going on: "Zoell's spots convert disconcertingly into a pair of unblinking eyes, into dumb smiley faces, into blimp figures like the Michelin man. His paintings, often overwhelming in sheer scale, tend to leave us grinning with odd, discomfited amusement even while they speak to us as pure, hard-edged abstractions. […] Zoell's paintings speak to us not only out of the quiet of pure aesthetic contemplation, but also out of the disquiet of our human being."
Born in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, and now living in Pasadena, Bob Zoell has distinguished himself in the realms of illustration, painting and public art. At the age of 25, Zoell became an art director for the legendary graphic design firm Saul Bass and Associates. He opened his own design and illustration studio in 1967; his work became familiar to readers of counter-cultural publications of the time and he remains an important illustrator, with seven covers of The New Yorker to his credit. He began to investigate painting in 1970, and has produced several innovative bodies of work, including the "Spot" paintings that make up this exhibition. He has also completed many public art projects; his distinctive approach to public space and typographic design provoked the artist Ed Ruscha to remark, "CALTRANS should let Bob have complete artistic control over all public signage. Wouldn't we have a better life out here?"
The Pasadena City College exhibition includes a brochure featuring an essay on "The Art of Bob Zoell" by artist Gary Panter, written on the occasion of this exhibition.
