Ratings for Dr. David A. Stoker
Dr. Stoker is an excellent surgeon who makes his patients feel comfortable. He listens to you and offers his opinion to accomplish your goal. I am very happy with the outcome of my surgery.
Awesome surgeon! The office is so clean and the staff are all so nice. I feel blessed to have found Dr. Stoker and Pam who does the botox and filler.
Remarkable! Amazing! Extraordinary! Phenomenal! Stupendous! The list of praise I have for Dr. David Stoker and his lovely staff and nurses could go on for pages and pages; I have never felt more beautiful or sexier in my entire life than I do now and it is all thanks to Dr. Stoker. My breasts are unbelievably perfect, literally perfect, and what I have desired pretty much since I was a teenager and especially after having two children. But allow me to start at the beginning, since hearing other women's stories helped me finally make what I think it one of the greatest decisions I have ever made with the best plastic surgeon on the planet. I have had what I call "boob envy" my entire life. I was, at best, a tiny A cup and desired a fuller cup size to fit the rest of my petite, athletic body. After searching the internet (realself.com and other web sites), I was drawn to Dr. David Stoker; there was something about his web site, the unbelievable "Before" and "After" images, and the care that was put into this important first impression that made him the first (and turned into only) consultation I went to. I submitted a consultation request and I was called the very next day by Heather to set up an appointment and talk about boobs! The staff was kind, caring, patient, and informed even before I stepped foot into the beautiful Marina del Ray office. They took the time to answer any pre-consultation questions I had and gave me all the information I needed so I felt confident walking in. From the moment I met Dr. Stoker I felt comfortable and in good hands, literally and figuratively. He genuinely cared about what I wanted and listened to my thoughts and helped guide me in the right direction. He was complimentary, nonjudgmental, gentle, and took my life style and body type into consideration while discussing my options. He immediately knew what would look incredible on my frame. Having been so small my whole life, I didn't have a clue what a B or C cup really meant until that day, but I left feeling like a million bucks and wanted to get my new breasts immediately! I didn't think I could have "sexy curves" but Dr. Stoker knew how the get them. I didn't feel the need to go to anyone else. I knew Dr. Stoker was my surgeon ad I couldn't wait! I have always said, I'll shop around for shoes and bargains on clothes and cars, but when it comes to my body and my health, when I find the right doctor I stick with them. I am so glad I trusted my instincts and made the right choice. The surgery was a breeze. I was nervous, as would be expected before any sort of surgery and before any major life decision, but my nerves were quickly calmed by the nurses, anesthesiologist, and Dr. Stoker who were right there beside me the whole time. They had also called me the day before just to make sure I was feeling ready and knew what to expect, and was, of course, excited. I woke up an hour later with the most amazing, beautiful, and super sexy breasts I had ever seen! Obviously the usual discomfort and swelling as expected, the healing took some time, but I was safe and comfortable and was able to go out to dinner the next day with my husband and show off my gorgeous breasts. I am proud to recommend Dr. Stoker for any plastic surgery, but especially if someone is looking for perfect, full, beautiful breasts that look and feel real. I have never felt sexier, more confident, and more at peace with my body and body image than I do now, and I thank Dr. Stoker for that from the bottom of my heart. I feel sexy naked and in clothes. Everything I try on looks and fits perfectly. Breezy sundresses, sexy cocktail dresses, strapless dresses, bikinis, they all look stunning on my body and I feel my confidence grow every day when I look in the mirror. After the obvious life choice decisions I have made with getting married and my two adorable children, getting my breast augmentation by Dr. Stoker was the BEST decision I have ever made.
Dr. Stoker is an amazing surgeon who does not disappoint. He corrected my sons' noses about 10 years ago (they look so natural, no one knows!!), and when I was ready for a breast reduction and tummy tuck (at 60), it was clear that he was the most gifted and skillful surgeon I could find. His office staff are compassionate and professional, his operating room is on site and state-of-the-art, and I feel so blessed to have the fantastic results I have after only a few months. Dr. Stoker is caring and responsive and you couldn't ask for a better doctor. If you look at his work on his website you get a realistic idea of what to expect. I am incredibly blessed to have found Dr. Stoker and I enjoy the results of his artistry every single day!!
Had a Breast Reduction in January 2009 with side lipo plus upper eyelid surgery. Great experience. I tursted a Dr in Miami to do more lipo & it got botche but Dr Stoker did a revision and I look fantastic thanks to him!!! Planning on a facelift in 2 years and will fly from Florida for Dr S to do it! He's wonderful.
I had lipo suction by Dr Stoker 4 or 5 years ago. I was tremendously happy with the results. My body is naturally pear shaped but with menopause it had become an exaggerated version of a pear. Dr Stoker performed lipo on my inner and outer thighs, the flank area and stomach, at the same time fixing an umbilical hernia. I had the body I remembered without losing any of my curves! When I wanted my upper arms and back bra area, I naturally knew where to go but he had moved and the office where he had been working was unhelpful, not wanting to lose business. After some investigation I found he had set up his own practice in Marina, thankfully! Needless to say I am very happy with my arms. I'm back to wearing sleeveless tops with no back fat spilling over my bra. Both procedures, I experienced little to no pain. He is thorough, and meticulous. I am a nurse, working in ICU, have done for 23 yrs. I can recommend his work whole heartedly.
Dr Stoker is a superb surgeon, I think he could be conidered an artist as well. He did an incredible job sculpting my body during my Mommy Makover. I was a challenging case as I had a complicated hernia to repair, and my breasts had been operated on twice before by another surgeon with poor results. I took a long time, years actually, researching the Laser Bra technique developed by Dr Stevens. I knew I wanted this procedure to prevent the bottoming out I had experienced twice before. Dr. Stoker and Dr Stevens were partners for years so I figured he has done this procedure probably thousands of times. Experience does matter. I chose Dr Stoker because I liked the photos of his before and afters the most. It was a little confusing at first, his photos are still on the website from his former practice. I live on e East Coast so I traveled to California for the surgery. It was well worth the additional effort and cost to have Dr Stoker perform the surgery. Dr S is the BEST!
5 years ago Dr Stoker saved my life. I came to his office in LA from San Francisco with some previous BAD surgery on my breasts and stomach. I was very depressed due to the bad surgery and Dr Stoker was my last hope. I went through the motions like a robot with no emotion. I was scared. Can he fix this??? Yes!! He did. I LOVE HIM. He is the best plastic surgeon. My breast have never looked so great and he fixed all of the deformities and dents on my stomach. Its five years later and I'm still very happy and thank full. I have my body back and I feel normal again.
I had a nightmare experience getting Liposuctin from Dr Stoker. I paid $7700 and it looked like nothing was done. My stomach looked deformed. I ended up paying another 6500 for a different lipo doctor in DC to fix my botched stomach and thighs.
I love my nose job but my scars from my breast augmentation show on one side. I am not completely sure if this was by mistake or because he was trying to align them correctly. Either way I see it every time I am without a bra, I really believed that he was the #1 best but I question his time scheduling. I believe he works a lot and makes mistakes like any human.

Posting this for ZWT 2006 Asian region. This is a classic Chinese treatment for Spareribs which can be doubled easily and is so delicious. To purists, this is NOT American style BBQ ribs so don't gasp at the boiling ok? Hehehe. I like to add some red pepper flakes and a little Ginger to the sauce to add a bit of heat.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3 lbs spareribs
- 1 1⁄2 cups brown sugar
- 1 1⁄2 cups water
- 4 -5 garlic cloves
- 4 1⁄2 tablespoons light soy sauce
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons dry mustard
- Bring a large pot of water to boil.
- Cut the ribs apart in large or small pieces as you wish; add the spareribs to the boiling water, cover, and allow to simmer for 30 minutes until tender.
- While the spareribs are simmering, mix together the sauce ingredients.
- Remove the spareribs from the pot.
- If you like, set aside the pork broth to use in another recipe; clean out the pot.
- Add the sauce ingredients to the pot and bring to a gentle boil; add the spareribs, bring back to a boil, and simmer for 10 - 15 minutes.

I tried this recipe and the ribs are to die for! They are moist and tasty. I cut out some calories by using Splenda Brown Sugar Blend instead of the full brown sugar and it still tastes awesome. Everyone that I've ever made these for loooves them. Its so simple and there are only a few ingredients. Try this tonight! You will NOT be disappointed!!
These ribs were as good as the ones in our local take out shop. The taste is awsome and is so easy to make. My family still thinks I bought them. I also used a teaspoon of ginger powder and a teaspoon of red pepper flakes. This is a keeper!!!!! rick
Loved these ribs!! I actually used beef ribs and that worked really well. The sauce was really tasty. I did add the red pepper flakes and ginger as recommended. The sauce was sweet but not overly so. They were sure enjoyed by DH. I think he ate 2 lbs of ribs himself.

Barred owl
|Barred owl
|Scientific classification
|S. varia
|Binomial name
|Strix varia
Barton, 1799
Syrnium varium
The barred owl (Strix varia) is a large typical owl native to North America. Best known as the hoot owl for its distinctive call, it goes by many other names, including eight hooter, rain owl, wood owl, and striped owl.
The adult is 40–63 cm (16–25 in) long with a 96–125 cm (38–49 in) wingspan. Weight in this species is 500 to 1,050 g (1.10 to 2.31 lb).[2] It has a pale face with dark rings around the eyes, a yellow beak and brown eyes. It is the only typical owl of the eastern United States which has brown eyes; all others have yellow eyes. The upper parts are mottled gray-brown. The underparts are light with markings; the chest is barred horizontally while the belly is streaked vertically (hence its name "barred owl"). The legs and feet are covered in feathers up to the talons.[3] The head is round and lacks ear tufts.
Outside of the closely related spotted owl, this streaky, dark-eyed, chunky-looking owl is unlikely to be confused over most of the range. The spotted owl is similar in appearance, but is slightly smaller and has spots rather than streaks down the underside. The great horned owl is much larger, has ear tufts, and has yellow eyes.
Distribution and habitat[edit]
During the past century, barred owls expanded their range from forests east of the Great Plains to forests throughout most of central and western North America.[4] Evidently, barred owls originally traveled across the northern Great Plains via the forested riparian corridors of the Missouri, Yellowstone and Musselshell rivers into east-central Montana by 1873.[4] From there, they accessed western forests in southwestern Montana (1909), moved to northwestern Montana (1922) and then expanded their range in two general directions.[4] They moved north and east to northern Alberta (1934) and Saskatchewan (1948) where they apparently encountered other barred owls coming westward from Manitoba.[4] They also moved north to northern British Columbia (1943), southeastern Alaska (1967) and Northwest Territories (1977), and west and south to Washington (1965), Idaho (1968), Oregon (1972), and California (1976).[4]
The historical lack of trees in the Great Plains evidently acted as a barrier to the range expansion and recent increases in forests broke down this barrier.[5] Increases in forest distribution along the Missouri River and its tributaries apparently provided barred owls with sufficient foraging habitat, protection from the weather, and, possibly, concealment from avian predators to allow barred owls to move westward; decades later, increases in forests in the northern Great Plains allowed them to connect their eastern and western distributions across southern Canada.[5] These increases in forests evidently were caused by European settlers (American settlers) excluding fires historically set by Native Americans, suppressing fires and planting trees; they apparently were caused, to lesser degrees, by European settlers extirpating bison (Bison bison), overhunting elk (Cervus elaphus) and deer (Odocoileus spp.) and, in some areas, extirpating beaver (Castor canadensis) and replacing native ungulates with livestock.[5] So it appears the range expansion was prohibited for millennia by actions of Native Americans and recently facilitated by actions of European settlers.[5][6] Increase in trees in the Great Plains from fire suppression or tree planting is considered a main cause of the range expansions of many other species of birds[7] including western kingbird (Tyrannus verticalis),[8][9] eastern phoebe (Sayornis phoebe),[10] eastern bluebird (Sialia sialis),[11] blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata),[12][13] brown thrasher (Toxostoma rufum),[14] red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis),[15] and American crow (Corvus brachyrhynchus).[16]
Breeding habitats are dense woods across Canada, the United States, and south to Mexico.[1][17] The species is particularly numerous in a variety of wooded habitats in the southeastern United States. Recent studies show suburban neighborhoods can be ideal habitat for barred owls. Using transmitters, scientists found that populations increased faster in the suburban settings than in old growth forest. A factor of this suburban success may be easily accessible rodent prey in such settings. However, for breeding and roosting needs, this species needs at least some large trees and can be locally absent in some urban areas for this reason. The main danger to owls in suburban settings is from cars. The increased offspring offset the death rate due to impacts from cars and disease.[18]
Barred owl and northern spotted owl[edit]
Barred owls evidently are partly responsible for the recent decline of the northern spotted owl, native to British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and California.[19][20][21][22] The 2011 Revised Recovery Plan for the Northern Spotted Owl (p. vi) states "Based on the best available scientific information, competition from the barred owl (S. varia) poses a significant and complex threat to the spotted owl."[23] Since the 1960s, barred owls have been expanding their range westward from the eastern US and Canada (see "Distribution and habitat" section above).[24] When spotted owls and barred owls share the same area, the barred owls generally are more aggressive and out-compete the spotted owls, leading to decreased populations of the native owls.[25] Barred owls may even kill spotted owls.[26] Barred owls and spotted owls occasionally interbreed, creating hybrids ("sparred owl" or "botted owl").[27] Only 47 hybrids with barred owls were found in an analysis of more than 9000 banded spotted owls; consequently, hybridization between these two species is considered by the authors of that analysis to be "an interesting biological phenomenon that is probably inconsequential compared with the real threat—direct competition between the 2 species for food and space" (p. 808).[28]
On 5 April 2007, White House officials announced a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service proposal to shoot barred owls to reduce the threat they pose to the spotted owl.[29] It called for delineating 18 sites within the range of the spotted owl where 12–32 barred owls would be taken per site for 5 to 10 years.[29] Approximately 2150 to 2850 barred owls would be killed for a 3- to 5-year study, and 4650 Barred Owls would be killed for a 10-year study[30] If the precedent-setting removal study[31] is implemented, it would, during its first year, result in the death of 36 times more raptors than in all other conservation-based projects combined in the United States and its territories, and 84 times more raptors than in the largest ongoing effort worldwide, at a cost of $1 million annually; simplifying the cost to dollars per barred owl killed approximates $700 per barred owl for the first year and $2800 per barred owl for each subsequent year.[30] Many environmentalists fear increased blame on barred owls for declining spotted owl numbers will result in less attention being paid to territorial protection and resumption of logging in protected spotted owl habitat.
The barred owl's nest is often in a tree cavity, often ones created by pileated woodpeckers; it may also take over an old nesting site made previously by a red-shouldered hawk, Cooper's hawk, crow, or squirrel.[32] It is a permanent resident, but may wander after the nesting season. If a nest site has proved suitable in the past they will often reuse it as the birds are non-migratory. In the United States, eggs are laid from early-January in southern Florida to mid-April in northern Maine, and consist of 2 to 4 eggs per clutch. Eggs are brooded by the female with hatching taking place approximately 4 weeks later. Young owls fledge four to five weeks after hatching.[33] These owls have few predators, but young, unwary owls may be taken by cats. The most significant predator of barred owls is the great horned owl.[34] The barred owl has been known to live up to 10 years in the wild and 23 years in captivity.[2]
Food and feeding[edit]
The barred owl is a generalist predator. The principal prey of this owl are meadow voles, followed by mice and shrews of various species; other mammals preyed upon include rats, squirrels, rabbits, bats, moles, opossums, mink, and weasels.[17][35] A barred owl was photographed in Minnesota in 2012 grabbing and flying off with a full-grown domestic cat, a semi-regular prey item for the great horned owl but previously unknown to be taken by this species.[36] Birds are taken occasionally and commonly include woodpeckers, grouse, quails, jays, icterids, doves, pigeons[17][35] and even domestic ducks, and chickens, where they will swoop through small openings in enclosed and covered runs. Less commonly, other raptors are predated, including smaller owls.[34] Avian prey are typically taken as they settle into nocturnal roosts, because these owls are not generally nimble enough to catch birds on the wing. It occasionally wades into water to capture fish, turtles, frogs and crayfish.[3][17][37][38] Additional prey include snakes, lizards, salamanders, slugs, scorpions, beetles, crickets, grasshoppers, and earthworms.[17][39] Barred owls have been known to be attracted to campfires and lights where they forage for large insects. Prey is usually devoured on the spot. Larger prey is carried to a feeding perch and torn apart before eating.
The barred owl hunts by waiting on a high perch at night, or flying through the woods and swooping down on prey. A barred owl can sometimes be seen hunting before dark. This typically occurs during the nesting season or on dark and cloudy days. Of the North American owls, the pygmy, hawk, snowy and burrowing owls are more likely to be active during the day. Daytime activity is often most prevalent when barred owls are raising chicks.[3][38] However, this species still generally hunts near dawn or dusk.
The usual call is a series of eight accented hoots ending in oo-aw, with a downward pitch at the end. The most common mnemonic device for remembering the call is "Who cooks for you, who cooks for you all." It is noisy in most seasons. When agitated, this species will make a buzzy, rasping hiss and click its beak together forcefully. While calls are most common at night, the birds do call during the day as well.[40]
In art[edit]
John James Audubon illustrated the barred owl in Birds of America (published, London 1827-38) as Plate 46 where it is shown threatening a grey squirrel. The image was engraved and colored by Robert Havell's, London workshops. The original aquatint by Audubon is owned by the Brooklyn Museum.[41]

Critical loads of nitrogen (N) from atmospheric deposition were determined for alpine lake ecosystems in the western US using fossil diatom assemblages in lake sediment cores. Changes in diatom species over the last century were indicative of N enrichment in two areas, the eastern Sierra Nevada, starting between 1960 and 1965, and the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, starting in 1980. In contrast, no changes in diatom community structure were apparent in lakes of Glacier National Park. To determine critical N loads that elicited these community changes, we modeled wet nitrogen deposition rates for the period in which diatom shifts first occurred in each area using deposition data spanning from 1980 to 2007. We determined a critical load of 1.4 kg N ha−1 year−1 wet N deposition to elicit key nutrient enrichment effects on diatom communities in both the eastern Sierra Nevada and the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.

Helen Grace Burnett McCormick, 77, of Amarillo died Friday, March 1, 2013.
Services will be at 11 a.m. Monday in Boxwell Brothers Ivy Chapel with Gene Shelburne and Lyndon Latham officiating. Arrangements are by Boxwell Brothers Funeral Directors, 2800 Paramount Blvd.
Mrs. McCormick was born March 13, 1935, in Fredonia to Arch and Pauline Burnett. She married Henry David McCormick on June 19, 1954. Together they distributed the Christian Appeal for many years, and she worked as the secretary and was an active member of West Amarillo Church of Christ.
Helen spent most of her life in Amarillo before retiring to her beloved Hill Country homestead of Mason. An avid outdoorswoman, Helen could frequently be found gardening, camping or swimming and fishing in the Llano River. Until further notice, you can find Helen frolicking in fields of bluebonnets, likely with grubbing hoe in tow.
She was preceded in death by her siblings, Celesta Nobles and Max Burnett.
Survivors include her husband, Henry David McCormick; her children, Andrea De'Aun Bryan and husband Dennis and Tolley David McCormick and wife Cheryl; her grandchildren, Davi Bryan, Andrea Ward and husband Seth, Alan Bryan, Ross McCormick, Taylor McCormick and Tori Richards; her great-grandchildren, Abigail, Grace and baby Ward, due in July; her siblings, Nova Ritter, La Jean Ramey, Paula Barbieri and Bobby Burnett; and too many friends and loved ones to count.

The Swing 700 is a realistic 3 season down bag. The construction is a tuck stitched continuous baffle construction. The tuck stitch, fixes the baffles to the outside and inside shell, by stitching though two layers of fabric, which is a extremely solid. The Swing offers a well shaped hood that, together with a efficient draft collar, offers a effective closing, minimizing heat loss in low temperatures, yet at the same time allows the bag to offer a great ventilation possibility in higher temperatures. And the raised foot box offers a maximum protection for the feet with a nice feel of comfort. But the real beauty of the Swing is a the balance between the sure volume on the body section and the sure volume on the leg section. You have the double comfort of a large general volume, with the same feeling of over space on the body and leg section.

The students teamed with a satellite television producer to
make a series of 30-minute, magazine-style shows about 10
Dunedin secondary schools.
"We wanted to find a way to get our students to meet
deadlines," tutor Julie Watson said.
"We decided producing something we could get broadcast was
the best way to force them into it." The Southern Upload show
was aimed at 16- to 19-year-olds with the first going to air
late last month.
Each week a different school was used as a base with
first-year students filming stories, second-year students
producing the show, and senior school pupils introducing and
linking different pieces.
Two segments were about the school's activities or pupils and
a different Dunedin band ended each show.
Ms Watson hoped the school pupils could become more involved
in the production of the series in the future.
She described it as a "highly successful way" for her
students to learn, and while they described it as "tiring"
and "exhausting", they agreed.
Chris Height described it as "an exceptional learning
opportunity", while Eddie Allan said it was "a good insight
into how it actually all works".
"The big thing we are looking forward to is looking at
programme 10 and then looking back at programme one and
seeing the improvement," Ms Watson said.

In Denmark they say: "A knife-less man is a lifeless man." Except, you know, in Danish. In any language, the message is clear: A man without a knife is not just unprepared—he's not fully himself. The Gerber Cohort can help, thanks to a minimalist design that keeps it ultra light and out of sight when carried, but fully capable when necessity rears its head.
Sometimes, it's what's left out that counts. Stripped of all unnecessary features that might weigh it down, the Cohort features a sleek, anodized aluminum handle, gram-shaving open frame design, and dual thumb stubs for quick, secure one-handed deployment. Slim-bodied, with a distinctive open frame design, this clip folder is an ideal daily carry knife that's solid in the hand.
Invisible when you don't need them, indispensible when you do, the Cohort's details stand out for their minimalism. The 3-inch fine edge drop point blade cuts, pries and performs on command, while the Liner Lock mechanism holds the blade firmly in place, requiring just a simple and efficient one-handed engagement to release. At 2.6 ounces, it's featherlight in both your pocket and in use, but it works like a middleweight when needed.
A removable pocket clip lets you carry the Cohort easily in your pocket, or secure it to a bag for easy access. A lanyard hole means you can attach the cordage of your choice for added security and easy location.
- Overall Length: 6.88"
- Blade Length: 3.0"
- Closed Length: 3.88"
- Weight: 2.6 oz.
- Steel Type: 7Cr17Mov
- Handle Material: AL 6061-T6
- 3" Fine Edge drop point blade for clean, accurate cuts
- Liner Lock blade lock for secure blade opening
- Pocket Clip for easy carrying in pocket, on belt, or in bag
- Lightweight open frame design
- Dual thumb studs for easy opening and closing
- Lanyard hole for attaching accessory or parachute cord
- Backed by Gerber's Lifetime Warranty
Got this knife on sale during a Black Friday 2014 deal at Home Depot for like $10. It has been a great knife. I carry it everywhere I go. It holds an edge and is lightweight. What more could you ask for?
This is a really good knife and it lasts for quite some time, i dont think i need the warranty even though i cant get it anymore because i forgot the information. The only downside is that its not sharpened enough, though I can sharpen it and it will be fine. Also the handle on the knife has a comfortable grip without using cheap materials like plastic or rubber
Picked this up on sale for probably $18 at the Home Depot I work at, and never have I been more satisfied with an impulse knife purchase. Very basic knife, but that's what works for it. Incredible smoothness on the opening too... once you break it in a bit it should flip open nearly as easily as an assisted blade.
Picked one up on sale at a local hardware store, and couldn't be happier with it. I wouldn't say it's the end-all be-all knife, but for what I use a pocket knife for it works fantastic. It required some sharpening out of the box, but it has held up well and feels great in the hand. For the price I paid I'd definitely grab another one, but probably not at $30.
Wow just got the knife..very well made product. Surgical precision cutting and stable enough platform to gut with.
I've had mine for over a year and it handles well. Design wise i'm still in love with it, just beautiful. The handle material is fragile to any hard knocks leaving it weirdly dented. The blade it self is no surprise, a low quality metal. Nevertheless the blade can take a beating but you will need to constantly sharpen it. It's a 25$ pk that's worth every cent.
To make the opening smoother just loosen the screw very slightly
just picked it up today. i wanted something cheap and use as a beater so if it breaks or lose it i can get another one. Works fine and use it just for edc since i got sick of carrying multi tools and my bigger blades and this was i good size.
Great piece, good blade, lightweight, well balanced and super pocket for everyday use.
Great for any activity!
Bought this knife a while back and it's been great! Holds well in the hand and has a great blade. Hard to pass up for such a great price!
I am an Eagle Scout and have tested the Gerber Cohort knife. I usually go through a lot of knives, yet this knife stays with me. I have had the knife for a few days now and use it a lot. The Gerber Cohort is a knife that you're able to carry in your pocket, with easy access, but can still use it like a large blade. I have an off-brand (Dakota) 4" blade which I have also used; this knife seems to be just too bulky in my pocket. I also own a small, 3 year old Gerber locking blade (both closed and open). This knife has the F.A.S.T. technology yet is too small for doing a real knife's work. I believe that the Corhort knife by Gerber is create for day-to-day projects, small carvings, and can stand the normal wear and tear that a knife normally goes through, at least for a Boy Scout. Lastly, The open concept of the knife is not only great to make for a light weight knife, but also allows for things like sand to fall through it and not get stuck. (I had this happen with my smaller, closed concept Gerber, and it has never worked the same.)
Feels great

Published on Monday, October 29, 2012
Around 7,000 transatlantic and US domestic flights have been cancelled as the east coast of America braces itself for the arrival of a dangerous hybrid storm.
Further cancellations are expected for Tuesday and Wednesday as Hurricane Sandy collides with a winter storm to create a potentially catastrophic weather system.
British Airways, Virgin Atlantic and Air France began cancelling flights yesterday (Sunday) and have cancelled all flights in and out of New York and other US east coast destinations today.
BA has cancelled all flights to and from New York, Baltimore, Washington, Boston and Philadelphia, with the exception of the BA238 from Boston.
It is offering customers the chance to change their travel plans if they are due to travel to or from the east coast from October 26 to October 31.
Virgin has cancelled flights to and from New York, Washington and Boston and has also cancelled flights departing from JFK and Newark early tomorrow (Tuesday).
According to flight tracker website flightaware.com, 1,251 flights in total were cancelled yesterday and another 5,559 flights today.
"Every airline is allowing fee-free changes (and refunds in some cases) for itineraries potentially impacted by the storm," it said.
Hurricane Sandy has already swept across the Caribbean killing around 60 people.
A number of states on the east coast have declared a state of emergency.
In New York all public transport has been cancelled and 375,000 people in low-lying areas have been ordered to evacuate.
The Statue of Liberty, which was re-opened on Sunday after a year of renovation, has been closed again until at least Wednesday and the New York Stock Exchange, which initially said it would remain open, has now decided to close today and possibly tomorrow.
Forecasters have warned that the impact could reach as far as 520 miles from the eye of the storm, with tropical storm force winds up to 73 mph.
Alex Sosnowski, expert senior meteorologist for AccuWeather.com, said: "Storm surge flooding will occur over a much larger area, when compared to a hurricane and more severe than a typical nor'easter.
"It is likely to be more than just a few waves over washing the seawall in the hardest-hit areas. Sandy has the potential to bring historic storm surge flooding near and north of the center. It is possible areas from New York City and Long Island to New Jersey, the Delmarva and into the Philadelphia areas have some of their worst coastal flooding on record, depending on exactly where the storm tracks."

As a longtime Otago Daily Times subscriber I was
disappointed by the sheer number of sports stories in
Saturday's print edition.
The entire front page was taken over by sports. Sure, the
professional rugby test was news but, in my opinion, it did
not warrant the amount of coverage it was given.
There were a lot more news-worthy events happening in
Dunedin, Otago, New Zealand and the world than a rugby

It's not too late :P
All kinds of info about it at The Tek Recon Site
Dont forget the App From Itunes (Also on Android)
Get off the couch and into the game with Tek Recon, the newest and most realistic way to blast away with your friends. These Blasters feature real triggers and recoil action using specially designed "NRG Rounds". Tek Recon blasters can powerfully and safely fire up to 75 feet, are reusable, and make no marks or mess.
To optimize the real battle and team experience Tek Recon has developed a free iOS and Android app that uses GPS technology to bring video games into real life! Once loaded the app provides an interface complete with interactive heads up display, live chat, and radar tracking. Simply attach your smartphone to the blaster, power up and play a video game styled battle with your friends in real life using a real, physical blaster!
Looking at the ammo makes me wonder... will it fire Pez?

Not unless you can find elastic Pez with a hole in the middle. You see, these "NRG rounds" are, more or less, expensive, easy-to-lose, rubber bands.
As a nerf hobbyist, I was initially interested, but one thing about custom elastic bands is that if there's no fresh ones being manufactured, all existing ones will (eventually) crumble with age.
That looks like a really good way to fling my smart phone as I bring the gun up and discover I didn't secure the phone well enough.
Are there any third-party resellers of the ammo? I didn't see anyone post the link to the Kickstarter page so here is it for reference. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/graemebissett/tek-recon-the-first-real-life-video-game

My source with his ear to the ground says that these will be available at other retailers and online very soon. Online as soon as next week. Retailers in the next month or so.
I like the no mess concept, except for the idea of having 80 rubber bands scattered throughout the house/yard. Without the programmable vest/laser set up, I also don't see how this gets around the "I shot you/Nuh uh" argument that comes with nerf guns.

Visiting from the E38 and E39 boards ...
... So my very cool 60 year old father in law is finally considering a BMW. The problem ? He likes the Z3 - no offense meant to any Z3 owners here but I've always considered this a bonafide Chick's Car so that's what I told him. Am I wrong ?

disappointed so far
Reviewed By Paula C (CENTERPORT, NY) Reviewed for a 2016 Audi Q5 —7/24/2016 7:33 AM
I purchased this cover to protect my car against sap that sprays from the pine trees near it where it is parked and also for the acorns that will be falling soon from the oak trees. It is a nice looking cover, very easy to put on and fits beautifully. However after using it after I washed my car it was still covered with a fine mist of sticky sap- it seems as if the fabric might be too pourous for this type of protection.As far as the protecting my car from acorn dings remains to be seen.
Covercraft Noah Car Cover
Reviewed By George B (SAN JOSE, CA) —7/23/2016 8:26 PM
This is my third Noah cover. They usually last bout 4 years, But they have been getting thinner with each new one I guy. Hope I get 4 years out of this one. But they still are a nice cover. Nice and soft against the car.
