Yeah, must be bias. Couldn't be that you don't really know what's going on out there. No, that's certainly not possible at all.
People are just sheep and flock to bash on the same players that everybody else is bashing on. Franzen leads our team in scoring every year... Oh, but he's lazy.
I think Flippula is great but when down by 1 in the last minutes of a game I rather have Franzen on the ice

TAHOE/TRUCKEE, Calif. - A fever is a natural part of a child's immune response. When it is functioning at its absolute best, a child's body will fight off most foreign invaders so swiftly they will have no outward effect at all. However, when necessary, a child's immune system will raise his or her temperature to create a hostile environment for that invader. It's how a healthy body functions.
Simply put, our body's first line of defense when invaded by a virus or bacteria is specialized white blood cells. A strong, healthy immune system may be able to eliminate the invaders with this first step alone. If the white blood cells fail to contain the bugs, then the brain recognizes there is an invader and raises the body temperature to assist in killing it off.
This elevated temperature will generally be just a couple of degrees, but the brain determines the degrees based on the potency of invaders and what will be necessary to eliminate the bug. If the infection is severe then the body temperature rises accordingly. For every degree the body temperature rises, the white blood cells travel twice as fast.
For all children above the age of 3 months, a fever is actually a good thing. It's a sign that their immune system is functioning properly. Although many parents will panic when their child has a temperature above 98.6° F, the reality is that children's temperature may naturally run a little higher than what many consider the norm.
Different fever grades
A low-grade fever is anything between 100° F and 102.2° F. This level of fever is beneficial and will assist in defending the body from most bugs that a child will be exposed to.
A moderate-grade fever is between 102.2° F and 104.5° F. This temperature is still considered beneficial; if a child's body has reached this temperature, it's what's needed to kill whatever bacteria or virus their body is attempting to fight.
A high-fever is a fever greater than 104.5° F. This fever will cause your child some discomfort and result in crankiness. Generally indicative of a bacterial infection, this fever means that the body is fighting something a little more serious than the common cold. While it will not cause brain damage or any other harm to a child, it is wise to seek assistance from a medical provider.
A serious fever is one that is at or above 106° F; this fever can be harmful. Seek immediate assistance from a medical provider for any fever above 104.5 F.
Can a fever be dangerous?
Fevers that are caused by the body's immune system are not dangerous, and the brain will control the body temperature and not allow it to get so high as to cause harm. While it can be frightening to have a child running a moderate to high fever, it is simply their body doing what it was designed to do. The only body temperature that can actually cause brain damage is 108° F.
What about fever reducers? Since it is a very rare fever that can actually cause any kind of harm to a child, the best response is to let it run its course; most fevers will resolve themselves in 24 to 72 hours. Parents should be aware that fevers will naturally spike a little in the late afternoon and evening, so a slight increase in temperature during these times is not a cause for alarm.
A wait-and-watch approach should be recommended, rather than turning to over-the-counter medicines. The risks associated with these chemicals far outweigh any potential danger from the fever.
The typical over-the-counter drug is going to contain acetaminophen (Tylenol), which may cause liver damage. Other fever reducers include ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil), which can cause stomach upset, and aspirin has been associated with Reye's syndrome when given to children. Reye's syndrome is a combination of symptoms including nausea, vomiting, confusion, headache and/or nightmares.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) does not recommend fever-reducing drugs: "Fever is not an infection." Even in cases of high temperatures, the AAP says, "Fevers generally do not need to be treated with medication unless your child is uncomfortable or has a history of febrile convulsions. The fever may be important in helping your child fight the infection."
The best response to a fever below 104.5° F (40° C) for children over the age of 3 years is lots of rest and clear fluids. Since fevers may cause the child to sweat, parents need to be aware that they will lose sodium and water, which must be replaced with proper fluids. This does not include Gatorade or other sugary sports drinks.
When to seek help
Parents should contact the child's health care provider right away if any of the following occur:
• A child younger than 3 months is running any grade of fever.
• A child between 3 months and 3 years has a temperature above 102.2° F and appears ill (it should be noted that even teething may cause a slight increase in temperature).
• A child of any age has a temperature over 104.5° F (40° C).
Additionally, since dehydration is a potential side effect of fever, watch your child for the following: dry mouth, lack of urine or lack of wet diapers, dry skin, irritability, fatigue, or with an older child, dizziness. These signs of dehydration may be a concern and the child should be seen by a health care professional, especially if they are unable to keep down clear fluids.
It is important to note that in children under the age of 5 years, a fever can also lead to a seizure, known as a febrile seizure. However, while this can be frightening, it will typically have no lasting effects.

In a city that so values its architecture, it would seem unthinkable that a set of Charleston homes that won the highest award possible from the American Institute of Architects would be torn down less than 25 years later.
But that's exactly what has happened.
The case of the Charleston cottages that once stood near Huger and Meeting streets is a sad one, but it also carries a lesson.
It's a reminder that while most people notice and discuss only the architectural details such as a building's interior and exterior ornament and finishes, it's ultimately the bones of a structure that truly must stand the test of time.
Their design was as simple as it was elegant: a tiny version of a Charleston cottage, a vernacular form often called a Freedman's cottage, with an entry onto a small piazza that in turn led into a home with slightly more than 300 square feet.
Architect Chris Rose designed the cottages pro bono in the late 1980s, responding to the city's growing interest in dealing with the homeless.
"We kept having monthly meetings and the situation was getting worse and worse so I just, kind of on my own, had to go do something instead of just sitting there," he says.
Rose's design used panelized construction. Each cottage essentially was assembled from six big pieces: four wall pieces, a floor piece and a roof. The structure could be assembled by most anyone, and that helped keep their cost down. The originals cost only about $12,000 a pop.
Their design brought a lot of welcome attention to the young architect. Not only was there the national AIA honor award, but Rose also was mentioned in several publications, from U.S. News & World Report to Popular Mechanics. He lectured across the country and was going to be interviewed on "Good Morning America" but was bumped by the outbreak of the first Gulf War.
But two things worked against them over the long haul, says Charleston Housing Authority director Don Cameron. The authority maintained the homes and leased them to people leaving the city's homeless shelter but who were not quite ready for permanent housing.
First, Cameron says the original idea was not that they be clustered behind the Colin Grant Homes at Huger and Meeting streets. The first batch was erected there only as a sort of demonstration project.
The idea was that churches and synagogues would welcome one cottage on their property and help its resident get back on his or her feet.
For whatever reason, that didn't happen. Meanwhile, the federal grants that helped pay for this type of transitional housing gradually trickled out.
But the even greater problem could be found in the structures themselves. Cameron says the authority has rented them out as low-income housing since 2009, but they began to deteriorate in ways that were cost-prohibitive to fix.
"We finally got to a point about a year ago that we were too proud to lease them," he says. "While we could paint them, structurally we were very limited to what we could do to fix them up."
The panels developed leaks that were either difficult or impossible to fix without replacing the entire panel. "Anytime you messed with either the top of the panel or the bottom of the panel, you were weakening the integrity of the whole panel," Cameron says.
The six single cottages were demolished earlier this month with little to no fanfare.
Rose wasn't even aware of the demolitions until I told him. "I was going to nominate them for the 25-year (national AIA) award," he says, "but I guess I can't do it now."
Cameron says a plaque that had been affixed to one of the cottages likely will be displayed somewhere near the site, but the details still are being worked out.
"They were never intended as permanent housing," he says. "The temporary cottages did serve their purpose. They did help people buy more time so they could get their lives together and move onto the economy."
But that need still exists, and it's a shame these innovative cottages do not.
There is one small consolation: Three similar duplexes survive on E Street, and they look just like the cottages except that they're attached, gable to gable.
Cameron says the E Street homes have another important difference: They were constructed with a wooden frame, not panels, and can be more easily maintained.
"We look at that as permanent housing," he says, "whereas the cottages on Huger were always thought of as transitional or temporary."

on February 3, 2013 - 1:00 AM
It was just like the old days of 2010 last week when the Politics Column sat with former GOP gubernatorial candidate and local firebrand Carl Paladino.
Even Duke the Dog resumed his usual spot under the table in Paladino's Ellicott Square office, gnawing on one of those leather bones the same way his master sinks his teeth into whatever bothers him at the moment.
Paladino never really went away after his quirky campaign for governor in 2010 produced an official pasting by Democrat Andrew Cuomo. Paladino laid low for a while, but he's back as a study in contrasts.
In recent days the real estate developer appeared before the Buffalo Board of Education to threaten a race for School Board and promise to "destroy" his board opponents. He also riled up some by targeting the "black sisterhood" he says rules the system. "Classic Carl" is the technical term longtime Paladino observers use to describe such antics.
Then there's a more subdued Paladino, the one who will sit out the 2013 mayoral race for the first time in many years. That means that while a couple of unknowns (one a Democrat, one a Republican) contemplate challenging incumbent Democrat Byron Brown, a longtime mayoral critic disappears from the scene. A new technical term – "not so classic Carl" – is born.
"I'm not with him; I'm not against him," Paladino says of Brown.
That's far different from when he attacked the mayor for lacking leadership, or when he once concluded one of his radio commercials with this: "If we really want to fight crime, start with City Hall."
Paladino says the Brown forces approached him to seek new cooperation with downtown's biggest landlord. He responded by emphasizing that his frequent tirades only seek progress and growth for Buffalo. He also offered suggestions for Brown's allies in Albany: a city manager system in Buffalo, and streamlining its continuing demolition program.
"We've got 5,000 to 10,000 vacant structures in this city," he said. "You can't start renewing and restoring until you take out the decay."
If state asbestos removal regulations were relaxed, Paladino said, per house demolition costs would drop from $25,000 or $30,000 to $15,000.
"That's an idea I've given the city," he said. "They seemed receptive to my idea and receptive to its implementation."
When a Buffalo Sabres proposal for improving the downtown Webster Block recently beat out Paladino's Ellicott Development, just about everybody expected him to explode. He didn't.
"I spent $100,000 bidding on the Webster Block. I lost. Fine. I'll live with it," he said. "The Sabres project will be good. It was fairly considered. I'll come up with something else."
Longtime Paladino watchers suspect a deal. He says no.
"There is no quid pro quo; no advantage to me in seeing these things done," he said of his suggestions to City Hall. "It's for the good of the community."
On Nov. 2, 2010, after casting his vote in the 2010 election, Paladino told reporters he would never run for any office ever again – not even a local post. "No more elections," he said then. "This is it."
Now, the Buffalo School Board appears to very much lie in his future. "I'm disposed to do it," he said, adding he expects to make an official announcement this month.
You can bet Paladino will prove a potent force in May, when he will run from the South District. He has money to spend and will motivate committed voters. They will differ from the handful who usually show up for School Board contests.
And, oh yes. South was the only Council district in the city won by Paladino in the 2010 election – by a ratio of exactly 2 to 1.
So it appears Paladino will now occupy a bully pulpit. He will make the headlines and airwaves on a regular basis beginning later this year, while maintaining semi-cordial relations with City Hall.
No matter what you think of him, he's not going away.

Opinions differ on non-violent offender center
Mayor wants to block locating facility in city; judge explains rationale behind plan
June 22, 2013
By MARK MARONEY email@example.com Mayor Gabriel J....
Non-Violent Criminals, which include Drug Related Crimes without weapons, are a major part of the problem in this area. The only way to get rid of the problem is to get rid of the people causing the problem.
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Not only do I actually agree with Campana on this, we need to start shipping these druggies back out of the county. Start laying down more severe sentencing to criminals and shipping them to Rockview!
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Disagree. Pre-Release is too far away. Most of the individuals who would utilize this program live in the city. What image??????? If the underlying crimes are drugs guess where the majority of drug dealing occurs? Francine, I think Judge Butts is well aware what is behind crime. I think young Gabe prefers a "See no evil...".Williamsport is not a pristine small city.
1 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Agreed, Shirly! Maybe people are stealing from stores to trade items for drugs? They might be a non violent offender, but you are correct - what about the underlying reason? I just read an article online about Tide detergent being stolen and traded for drugs.
1 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Yikes! I can hardly believe I'm in agreement with young Gabe, but there it is. Puleeze do not put such a thing in Wmspt. The crimes themselves may be non-violent but especially with regard to theft, the underlying crimes often related to drugs means a really unsavory element congregating in our already problematical city. Come ON, Nancy, look at what's behind the crime!

Women's Health
Discover everything you need to know about women's nutrition in this section devoted solely to woman's issues. Topics covered include weight gain during menopause, and tips on how to detect and avoid breast cancer.
Just like Don Quixote screaming at windmills, keeping your middle age weight gain at bay can be a futile gesture, unless you happen to be blessed with a very unique metabolism. Despite your best efforts, you will likely gain at least a few pounds as you age, but that doesn't mean you should throw up your hands and go on an all cheesecake diet. Here is an essential Q&A you can follow for when you begin to pack on those middle aged pounds.
What is the root cause of middle age weight gain?
Middle age is a convergence of several factors that all happen to take effect at approximately the same time. First, most people experience a significant slow down in their metabolism, which means that the same calories you have always taken in are suddenly too much. As you age, you exercise less so you are falling behind in that area, too, and you often experience more stress as you age, so you have to fight that fight, as well. The final death knell is the fact that as we age, we tend to overeat more and eat more things that we shouldn't.
Is there any way to avoid taking on middle age weight gain?
The biggest part of avoiding this middle age weight gain is realizing it is happening and then identifying the causes. Try and take a three pronged approach, starting with identifying and dealing with the causes of stress in your life. Once you can identify what is stressing you out, you need to be able to take care of it so you can begin functioning normally again.
The next part is identifying the unhealthy eating patterns you are falling into. Are you eating more fast food because you are overworked and stressed out? That's obviously a problem. We all know how to eat right, we've been hearing the same formula since we were in elementary school, it is all about self discipline and execution. A diet rich in lean meats, fruits, vegetables and fiber will lessen the impact of any middle age weight gain. Now, you just have to go out and make it happen.
You also need to try to make time for more exercise, and that is all a part of attacking the amount of stress you have. With less stress you can eat better and better manage your time which gives you time to exercise. The three areas are all interrelated.
What to do about expectations?
It isn't realistic for a 45 year old man to expect himself to get back down to his weight at 18, so instead of looking at what the scale is saying, focus on the amount of body fat you have, instead. Keeping your body fat percentage between 20-23 percent for a man over 40 is excellent. On the women's side, try to achieve numbers like 24-26%. If those numbers don't translate into a reading on the scale that you like, it may be time to reconsider what is "acceptable" for you.
I seem to be doing everything right but I'm not getting anywhere, what's going on?
It could be that you aren't eating as healthy as you think you are. Look at the fats you are taking in every day. Are they saturated or unsaturated? How many calories are you eating per day? Try going from three square meals per day and having five smaller meals instead. You also want to watch the time in which you are eating. You want to eat more meals but you also want to reduce the lateness in which you eat. If you must eat late, have something very small.
The other problem you are having could be the exercises you are choosing. If you are doing the same five exercises today that you have done forever, your body can become less responsive. Mix up your routine and aim for a different muscle group or try building muscle, instead.
Simply answer a few questions so we can figure out your weight loss goals and provide solutions for a lighter, healthier you. Our weight loss meal plans are designed to help real people achieve real and lasting success.

Loy Stewart has a simple approach to life, though his life has been far from uncomplicated. His belief is that "we all know we're gonna die, just not today."
That's why, even though he's in a wheelchair and suffers from a disease for which there is no cure, he still reports to work every day as chairman of the board at Detyens Shipyard.
The 65-year-old Stewart was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis in 2002. Half of those affected by ALS live three or more years after the diagnosis. Twenty percent live five or more years. Ten percent live 10 or more, and that's where we find Stewart. After spending a couple of hours in his company, it's easy to understand why he fits into that small percentage. He's a rare and special individual. But not one so caught-up in himself and his life that he doesn't reach out to others.
The who, not the what
Some years ago, Stewart decided that he would attempt to help 10 people become successful.
He would listen to a person's goals and need of assistance and then if he believed in the person, he would get involved. He calls that "betting on the who, not the what."
Recently, some people who received his help in becoming successful decided to gather to thank him for his advice, but more importantly, his belief in them.
He had committed himself to helping 10 people. At this impromptu gathering, 29 people stepped forward to say Loy Stewart was the reason they had tasted success.
That's really going the extra mile, especially given that some of that journey's been covered in a wheelchair.
Stewart's wife of 44 years, Judy, died last August. She suffered from multiple sclerosis for 20 years, but every day she got up, dressed and put on make-up. She never quit and that's why he still goes to work. She remains his inspiration.
His office is littered with golf clubs. They're hung on the walls, propped in the corner and displayed in a case. Judy once told him if he brought one more club home, she would leave, so he brought 'em to the office.
Playing golf is the one activity he misses the most since ALS began to progressively weaken his arms and legs. He was able to drive until two months ago, now his grandson is often his chauffeur.
His speech is slurred and it's not always easy to understand what he's saying, especially as the day wears on.
He gets upset if people act like they hear him and clearly don't. He sees it in their eyes. He'd rather they just ask him to repeat something, but they're afraid they'll offend.
This much is clear
There is no cure or treatment for ALS. Stewart continues his fight as the disease progressively affects different parts of his body with each passing day.
His son, Loy Jr., runs the ship repair business now, but knows the company's reputation stems from how his dad ran the place.
"If a customer is unhappy, Dad will hear about it and that's not good for me."
There's a giant sign on the side of the huge gray building that says "Customer before Company." The 500 people who work at Detyens embrace that idea the day they're hired.
Stewart captained a multimillion dollar industry. He also funded a middle school sports facility in his hometown of Abbeyville and donated significantly to his college library at Furman. He's given from his pocketbook and from himself all along the way.
It's the hope and belief that he gave to those 29 people to be successful, though, that may prove to be his lasting legacy.
You know what? There are probably more out there we don't even know about.

Seems to me the people who make cylinders for these conversions make them for both Uberti 1858s and Pietta 1858s (the two are not interchangeable) and I think that 45 works pretty well in them.
March 7, 2013, 03:55 PM
Yes they do work pretty well. They come in 5 shot and 6 shot. Mine is a Howells. You can get it from Taylor's firearms or midway USA. Either is a good source.

Speaking of which if anyone has one of these for sale for .44 Pietta New Army LMK.
Ideally I'd like the .45 ACP version which nobody makes anymore. Or a 6-shot .45 Colt version would be fine also.
March 7, 2013, 06:13 PM
I am curious if the cylinders will work for both Uberti and Pietta?
March 7, 2013, 06:18 PM
Not without a lot of 'smithing. They make different models for the two brands.
March 7, 2013, 08:15 PM
I have the hots for this. I shoot cast lead 200 grain SWCs in my Ruger KP90DC and have a bunch loaded for it. I also shoot .45 Colt in my 4 5/8" Blackhawk, but 8.3 grains of Unique behind a 255 flat nose might be a bit much for the NEW ol' Remmy, methinks. So, I'd rather go with .45ACP for which I don't currently have a revolver at this time, anyway. Be cool to have a revolver in the caliber. It's on the back burner, though. Danged gubment wants 515 bucks of my hard earned money. :rolleyes:

Your friend probably realizes the conversion cylinder sells for more than gun itself which will wind up with more invested in it than just buying a 1875 model.

Cool... does anyone know the reason they say lead bullets only? I understand you need to load lower pressure rounds, and FMJs need more pressure generally, and I also understand the older 6-shot designs' chambers were angled very slightly to allow fitment of 6 rims in the cylinder, and the lead rounds would allow deformation/whatever upon entering the barrel. But does anyone know if low-end PLATED bullets would be okay, and if not, why?
I'm sure the manufacturer will stick to the lead only rule, but I wondered if anyone had any input.
March 8, 2013, 05:51 PM
Might be variances in bore diameter in various guns/models, not sure, though, just a guess. I planned to use my own cast bullets in the gun, anyway, but I did wonder about that.
Another thing that I wonder about, they claim not to shoot any ammo over 1000 fps. WITH WHAT BULLET WEIGHT? Makes a difference. My 200 grainers are running 900 fps out of my 4.5" Ruger KP90DC, so I guess I should be okay, but then, out of an 8" revolver, it might approach 1000 fps. Barrel length is a factor here, too.

They do specify Black powder pressure loads,ie cowboy etc.
March 8, 2013, 08:49 PM
But, there's never been a black powder .45ACP and no cowboy loads. Main reason I don't consider the .45 Colt conversion is I don't wanna get mixed up with my handloads for the Blackhawk which wouldn't be very nice to the Remmy. The OP probably doesn't have this problem.
March 8, 2013, 09:22 PM
If you have the extra brass and are willing to do the work, why not just cut some .45Colt brass down to .45ACP length? You might have to do some inside reaming after they are cut down.
March 8, 2013, 09:37 PM
Meh, i'd prefer to be able to shoot my cast .45ACP stuff in my revolver. Nothing wrong with a .45ACP conversion. I sold my old S&W 1917. I didn't much like it, was pretty worn, but worked fine with jacketed bullets. It didn't like lead bullets, though, very shallow rifling in that gun. I have no reason to ever wanna shoot jacketed in the Remmy. I only have 50 rounds loaded of jacketed bullets, my carry loads in the KP90DC. And, I have tons of .45ACP brass as I used to pick it up at the range all the time. You don't find .45 Colt laying around on the ground. :D AND, I already have one revolver and a Contender barrel in .45 Colt, no revolvers in .45ACP.

with taking the cylinder out to reload the conversions are not as fast for a quick shot after empitying your gun.in a fight after firing six shots, it takes more time to fire a repeat shot from a conversion that a regular CB revolver. if you have several replacement cylinders the point is moat. eastbank.
March 9, 2013, 11:57 AM
Lead bullets are required for SASS/CAS shoots, but more to the pouint, the barrrel steel used by the Italians is softer than the barrels used in cartridge guns. Jacketed bullets are not advised. I don't think copper washed bullets would be a problem.
The very small angle used by Howell in the chambers is not enough to distort a bullet or affect accuracy.
45ACP makes a great black powder round, lots of smoke and economical to load. That was the point when the 45 Special was offered.

Exactly how many gunfights have you taken part in using a C&B revolver? Point of fact is it is quicker to pop the conversion cylinder out of a Remington type C&B, dump out the empties and reload and pop it back into the revolver than it is to reload all the chambers on a conventional SAA type revolver where each empty has to be ejected one at a time and each chamber has to be reloaded one at a time.
I have two 1858 Remmies that I have conversion cylinders for. One is my old EuroArms Remmie that I bought a gazillion years ago.
The other Remmie is a stainless Uberti that I bought used a number of years ago. It came with the C&B cylinder and a conversion cylinder.
No, you cannot interchange cylinders between the Uberti and the Pietta revolvers. The two different brands are slightly different in size and the cylinders are sized to the specific brand of revolver. For what it's worth, the cylinder in my old EuroArms Remmie is a Pietta 'sized' cylinder.
The only 45 Colt six shot conversion cylinder on the market today is the one sold by Taylors. Anyplace that sells the six shot 45 Colt version is buying them from Taylors. Kenny Howell patented the idea of angling the chambers out less than 1/2 of one degree to allow six chambers to fit into the cylinder. For some reason, Kenny Howell sold the rights to his patent to Taylors a few years ago, so they are the only company that can produce the six shot version. Anybody like Midway who is selling them is buying them from Taylors. Kenny Howell now has his own company making conversion cylinders, but because he sold the rights to his patent, he is only making five shot cylinders for 45 Colt in Remmies.
The other player in the game is Walt Kirst. Kirst too makes 5 shot cylinders for the Remmie in 45 Colt. Kirst also offers the option of adding a loading gate to the gun so it can be reloaded one chamber at a time like a SAA.
For what it's worth, the lockwork on these revolvers demands that only 5 chambers be loaded in the six shot cylinders, the hammer must always be down on an empty chamber for safety, no different than a SAA.
The makers of these cylinders stress that they are for steel framed guns, not the brass framed guns. Although they are proofed for Smokeless powder, at least one maker suggests sticking to cowboy loads, no high powered stuff. Look how thin the chamber walls are on my cylinder and that should be self explanatory.
Regarding 38 caliber cylinders, don't get too excited about that too soon. The rifling groove diameter of modern 36 caliber revolvers is too large for modern .357 diameter 38 Special bullets. In order to shoot 38 Special out of these guns with any accuracy, either hollow based bullets must be used, which will expand at the base to engage the rifling, or the barrels must be sleeved for .357 bullets.
March 9, 2013, 03:58 PM
Great info, Driftwood. Thanks a bunch!
Another reason to shoot cartridge (.45ACP in my case) is that sometimes I wanna shoot the gun, but I'm just too lazy to strip and bath it in soap and water. http://www.clicksmilies.com/s1106/lachen/laughing-smiley-002.gif I have 3 cap and ball cylinders for the gun, can load the three and fire up 18 fast, but then i have to reload from the front. I don't really mind this too much, though. I have all the time in the world since I'm retired now and I can set up the reloading in my shop where it's handy and out of the wind or even come in and do it on the bar or kitchen table. :D. Still, I just think it'd be neat to have the .45ACP conversion.
March 9, 2013, 05:07 PM
Would I be correct in assuming the Euroarms 1858 uses a Pietta cylinder? I have an unfired gun and think I would like to convert it. :rolleyes:
Driftwood Johnson
March 9, 2013, 09:07 PM
Yes, my old EuroArms Remmie has a 'Pietta' conversion cylinder in it. But I cannot guarantee one will fit yours.
What I did a bunch of years ago was to get in contact with Taylors. They had a policy back then that they would fit a conversion cylinder to your Remmie FOR FREE. I sent them the gun, they selected a cylinder and did a little bit of fitting for me. I paid for the cylinder and they shipped me back my gun with the cylinder. You might want to contact them and see if they still have this policy.

"For what it's worth, the lockwork on these revolvers demands that only 5 chambers be loaded in the six shot cylinders, the hammer must always be down on an empty chamber for safety, no different than a SAA."
You do NOT need to keep an empty chamber in a 6 shot conversion!...that's what the detents between the chambers are for...
March 11, 2013, 08:55 AM
It was my understanding that the 6 shooters didn't have the detents (safety notches) and the 5 shooters do? Actually, they're saying it has 10 cylinder stop notches for the purpose, not safety notches for the hammer. I got that impression from reading the following on this site. This is regards to the Howell .45ACP cylinders and may not apply to others, I simply don't know.
The 5 shot cylinder is an excellent choice since you should only load 5 shots in a 6 chamber cylinder, letting the hammer down on an empty chamber. The 5 shot conversion cylinder has 10 cylinder stop notches. Five of these notches are set between the chambers and are designed to be used to lock the cylinder out of battery and allow you to safely lower the hammer fully down between the loaded chambers.
March 11, 2013, 11:28 AM
It was my understanding that the 6 shooters didn't have the detents (safety notches) and the 5 shooters do? Actually, they're saying it has 10 cylinder stop notches for the purpose, not safety notches for the hammer.
He's referring to the standard safety notches that appear on every unmodified original cap/ball remington, and on the 6-shot conversion cylinders. You can safely lower the hammer between chambers, just like on an original cap/ball, and that is how they were carried in the 19th century (Colts don't have notches for the hammer, but they have a notch IN the hammer that fits over safety "pins" between chambers).
This isn't good enough for the SASS; they require lowering the hammer on an empty chamber OR using one of the newer 5-shot cylinders which were built specifically to comply with SASS' rules.
March 11, 2013, 01:54 PM
Mmm, same site shows the Kirst with the safety notches....
Perhaps it's the Howell that doesn't have them?
March 11, 2013, 03:31 PM
Mmm, same site shows the Kirst with the safety notches....
Those aren't safety notches... that back plate doesn't rotate. The notches and false nipples are purely cosmetic. The large "false chamber" with the giant notch in it is the "safe/empty chamber" position on that model.
Driftwood Johnson
March 11, 2013, 06:58 PM
OK, now a little bit of explanation about those 'safety notches' on my Conversion cylinder. It would be nice if I could let the hammer down into them, but the fact is, the hammer nose is too thick and does not fit down into the notches. This is true about both the cylinder pictured with my old EuroArms Remmie, and my stainless Uberti. On neither one can I actually use the notches, because the hammers will not slide into the notches.
Yeah, I know I could file the hammer noses down a bit so they would enter the notches, but since I only use the cylinders in CAS, and since we are ONLY allowed to load 5 rounds in a revolver in CAS, there is really no point. I just let the hammer down on an empty chamber, just like I already said.
March 12, 2013, 06:22 PM
My 6 shot conversion Taylor's does not have the safety notches?
March 12, 2013, 07:16 PM

Dave Markowitz
March 15, 2013, 10:46 PM
Thanks, guys. I have to say that I'm really pleased with not only the cosmetics but the function. It shoots very well.
I did the conversion last year. It's a Pietta 1858 from Cabela's with a Kirst gated conversion kit and Remington factory-style ejector. The Kirst cylinder holds 5 shots. The part where a 6th chamber would be is solid. The firing pin is mounted in the cylinder ring that also holds the gate.
If I do another one I'll use Kirst's Richards-Mason type ejector, which is spring loaded.
To cut the loading port I used a Dremel tool with a grinding wheel, sanding drum, and felt polishing bob with some Flitz. To cut the notch in the loading lever I used a hacksaw and files. Then I finished it off with some Birchwood Casey cold blue.
I have ~8 hours into it. I took it slow because this was the first such conversion job that I tackled.
The ammo I've shot through it has been Black Hills .45 Colt CAS loads, consisting of a hard cast 250 grain RNFP bullet at an advertised 750 FPS. By modern standards it's rather wimpy but I found that it will shoot through a seasoned 10" pine log from ~10 - 15 yards. Also, it has more muzzle energy than the .455 Webley ball load, which the Brits considered to be a good manstopper.
March 17, 2013, 10:48 PM
I might be tempted to try 777 handloads in it. It'd probably perform better without excessive pressures. 777 clean up is like BP, of course, but it's easier to clean than Pyrodex or BP, less goo. Nice to have the light smokeless option, though. Sure is easier to clean with smokeless loads than ANY BP or sub.

BALTIMORE, MD (December 19, 2008) The mounting economic pressures which have
skewed national market conditions over the past year have, in recent months, begun
to impact Marylands employment picture. Unemployment, which remained relatively
unchanged during the first quarter of the year, has begun to consistently trend
upward. Seasonally adjusted unemployment rose from 4.9 percent in October to 5.3
percent in November, reaching its highest level on record since the early months
of 1994 according to the Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation. Last November,
Marylands unemployment rate stood at a modest 3.6 percent. All told, close to 158,000
Marylanders were unemployed during November, an increase of just over 9,450 persons
over-the-month and nearly 50,450 above that of last November. The potential
unemployment impact was, in fact, minimized somewhat during November by the exodus
of about 5,300 jobseekers from the labor market.
Marylands business payrolls shed additional jobs in November, with a reduction
of 4,900 jobs spread across every private sector industry with the exception of
educational and health services. While expansion in this business sector has
slowed, job gains have continued almost uninterrupted throughout the year. Education
and health services, along with professional and business services and leisure and
hospitality, are the only private sector industries which have continued to report
employment gains over the past year.
The slippage in Marylands job market during November followed on the heels of
national reports which showed the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate inching up
from 6.5 percent to 6.7 percent and business payrolls falling by more than 530,000
jobs. While statewide indicators are showing signs of stress, Marylands job market
remains in somewhat of a better place than that of the nation. Nationally, eleven
consecutive months of declining employment, have caused significant erosion in the
nations industrial job base. A decline of 1.4% since last November has pared close
to 2 million jobs from national payrolls. In Maryland, while job loss has been noted
in select industries, the states total job base has continued to expand over the
past year, with employers adding nearly 13,000 jobs to industry payrolls.
Jobseekers across the state were impacted by faltering market conditions.
Locally, declining employment pushed unemployment rates higher in each jurisdiction
with the exception of Cecil County where unemployment held steady over-the-month.
Some of the most noteworthy increases, of a full percentage point or higher, were
reported in Dorchester, Garrett and Worcester counties.

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Overcoming toxicity and poor accumulation are common themes in many unsuccessful attempts to overexpress difficult proteins such as multispanning membrane proteins.
According to Genentech's Hok Seon Kim, Ph.D., senior research associate in antibody engineering, toxicity can be suppressed and cell growth improved to normal by tightly controlling transcription.
"In addition, translation initiation rates play a critical role in proper targeting, insertion, folding, and efficient accumulation of integral membrane proteins in the E. coli membrane," Dr. Kim said. The protein candidates for expression evaluations are not themselves used in therapy, but serve as potential targets for other therapeutic drugs.
Toxicity to the expressing organism is a problem with many recombinant proteins, especially as the titer builds up. In the case of the transmembrane proteins, Dr. Kim observed toxicity as early as the cloning stage, in the form of restricted or inhibited cell growth.
Many transmembrane proteins appear to be more toxic than, say, antibodies. "It's thought that their toxicity results from disruption of the biogenesis of endogenous membrane proteins," Dr. Kim explained.
In E. coli, the availability of native molecular machineries for membrane protein biogenesis is limiting, particularly the protein that recognizes the first transmembrane domain of multitransmembrane proteins.
"This molecule, SRP, must catch that first hydrophobic transmembrane domain as quickly as possible and target it to the membrane with the help of its receptor," Dr. Kim said. "That particular signal recognition particle (SRP) is limiting in E. coli."
In other words, during overexpression of transmembrane proteins, E. coli's endogenous membrane proteins must compete for the limiting SRP to maintain homeostasis. An expression construct with a too strong translation initiation rate would result in a quick buildup of ribosome-nascent chain complexes with missing signal recognition particles and continue to translate in the cytoplasm, resulting in degradation and/or aggregation. Delayed availability of the SRP results in improper targeting and/or insertion, and re-routing to pathways associated with degradation and/or aggregation.
Poor accumulation is the consequence of this constant high level of degradation and/or aggregation in conjunction with inefficient membrane targeting. The traffic jamming of the membrane protein biogenesis pathway results in "sick" cells.
"It is even worse with GPCRs," Dr. Kim said, "but there may be other factors at work there, that make some proteins more toxic than others among the class of membrane proteins."
Dr. Kim's improvement involves a novel promoter with "tight" transcription regulation to minimize toxicity and improve cell growth. Because toxicity and growth inhibition are observed even before induction, expression efforts begin with compromised cells "and the problem gets worse towards the end," he said.
In addition, Dr. Kim has used a translational leader to control the translation initiation rate. An optimal translation initiation rate would eliminate the traffic jam and allow efficient recycling of the cell's molecular machineries, resulting in continuous production of heterologous and endogenous membrane proteins.
Expressing difficult proteins is most challenging in a production setting, where the manufacturability of stable, correctly folded proteins often determines success or failure.
Speaking at the "PEGS" event this April, Ian Hunt, Ph.D., head of protein sciences at the Novartis Institute for BioMedical Research, hashed out the pros and cons of E. coli and baculovirus expression as it relates to difficult-to-produce proteins.
Baculovirus expression requires insertion of DNA into a viral genome, transfection, and two or three rounds of amplification to produce enough virus at the correct titer.
"With insect cells, it typically takes two to three weeks before you can determine if your protein is expressing," Dr. Hunt said.
E. coli is a more efficient and accessible system than insect cells, in part because it does not involve a viral component. Cells are transformed directly and begin expressing protein, of which measurable quantities become available within a few days, sometimes overnight.
"E. coli is much faster, and much more amenable to high-throughput expression testing," Dr. Hunt said. It is possible to fragment very difficult protein targets into 10 or 20 smaller domains, express them in parallel in E. coli, and see which is the most stable and prolific. "It doesn't take much time, and does not require a lot of hands-on time. But the same process is quite laborious in insect cells," he added.
Dr. Hunt described the relative benefits and capabilities of the two expression systems as a tradeoff.
"E. coli is fast and easy, but it's most applicable for relatively small, easy to produce proteins, whereas insect cells can produce larger, difficult proteins but it takes a lot longer."
Insect cells are capable of expressing large, difficult, multidomain, intact proteins that E. coli cannot. Once a protein reaches 60–70 kD in size, its soluble expression becomes problematic in E. coli.
Increasingly, pharmaceutical and biotech companies are turning to difficult protein targets that, more often than not, are difficult-to-express membrane proteins. Breaking those proteins up works to produce small, easy-to-manufacture subdomains as targets for drug discovery.
Another topical target of pharmaceutical development is disruption of protein complexes. One way to obtain complexes is to express and purify the relevant proteins individually. Dr. Hunt described an approach, co-expression, by which two or more viruses transfect insect cells simultaneously, resulting in the production of an equivalent number of proteins within the same insect cell culture.
After simultaneous purification, the proteins are in the proper proximity for complexation. Disruption might occur through direct inhibition of binding sites or by allosteric interactions. Or, one could label one protein with an affinity tag, purify the complex as one "molecule," and use it in drug screens.
"Co-expression is one of the major strengths of insect cells," Dr. Hunt observed.

Authorities say a boy who fired on classmates and wounded one at a rural California high school had planned the attack and targeted students he felt had bullied him for more than a year.
Kern County sheriff Donny Youngblood said at a news conference Thursday night that the 16-year-old used a shotgun that belonged to his brother and went to bed Wednesday night with a plan to shoot two fellow students.
Youngblood says surveillance video shows the boy trying to conceal the gun as he nervously enters Taft Union High School through a side entrance after school had started Thursday morning.
The boy entered his classroom, shot and critically injured one student, then fired on others before a teacher and another staff member talked him into surrendering.

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – Researchers with the Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine will present their findings at the national Orthopaedic Research Society (ORS) meeting in New Orleans that began Saturday.
Dr. Maria A. Serrat, assistant professor in the department of anatomy at the school of medicine and a clinical assistant professor in the department of orthopaedics, will present her team's research model on the effects of temperature on the acceleration of bone growth in mice.
"We developed a model to study how the application of heat on the body's surface can stimulate bone elongation," Serrat said. "By validating this model, we are looking at future possible clinical treatments to lengthen bones in children with growth issues or orthopaedic trauma using non-invasive methods."
Serrat's team includes Dr. Franklin D. Shuler, a professor in the department of orthopaedics, vice chair of research for the department of orthopaedics, and medical director for the Senior Fracture Program at Cabell Huntington Hospital. He says the opportunity to present on this national platform speaks highly of Marshall's program.
"To have a podium presentation at this high-level meeting truly indicates that the faculty at Marshall are participating in leading-edge musculoskeletal research that has the capability of transforming patient care," Shuler said.
Along with Serrat and Shuler, the following students participated in the research:
- Justin M. Godby, first-year medical student
- Thomas J. Schlierf, fourth-year medical student
- Laura M. Stanko, second-year medical student
- Holly L. Tamski, biomedical sciences doctoral student
Morgan L. Efaw, former biomedical sciences student at Marshall, also was a member of the team.
Also presenting a poster at the ORS meeting is third-year medical student Alexander H. Slocum, Jr., Ph.D. who, along with collaborators from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, will showcase their findings, "Enhancing Orthopaedic Joint Lubrication using Synovial Fluid Impregnated Super-Wetting Porous Coatings," an investigation reviewing ways of improving the use of prosthetic implants.
Dr. Maria Serrat also was selected as the featured researcher in Marshall University's School of Medicine Biomedical Sciences magazine, We Are…Bridging Medicine and Science.

A hide box is a very important part of your reptile's habitat. Reptiles housed without a hide box to retreat to suffer from stress, which leaves them more susceptible to illness. This is because reptiles are not domesticated animals. Regardless of whether or not they were captive bred, they are wild animals that are on the look out for predators, and hiding is a natural part of their behavior. Failing to accommodate this need will result in a sick, stressed reptile.
What are hide boxes for?
You know that hide boxes give your reptile a sense of security, but what exactly are they for? Hides provide reptiles with:
What should I use as a hide box?
Lizards, snakes, amphibians, and turtles all need at least one hide box in their enclosure. You can purchase a commercial hide, such as the Reptile Cave or Hagen Marina Reptile Décor Cave, or you can make one yourself. Homemade hide boxes can be made from a number of different things, including plastic or cardboard boxes, storage containers, hollow logs, stacked or overlapping rocks, flower pots laid on their sides, and anything else that is large enough for your reptile.
Be sure to use something that is easy to clean and disinfect, as you will have to do that regularly. The hide you choose should have a single entrance, and you may need to put 1" to 2" of substrate in it, depending on the species you are keeping and its size.
How big a hide box does my reptile need?
The size of the hide box varies depending on the size of the reptile. Many owners make the mistake of thinking that a bigger hide box is better. In truth, reptiles don't want a large hide box. To them, a large hide box means that other reptiles (or predators) can fit in the hide with them. The point is to provide a sense of security, and a reptile that has to wonder if something else can get into the hide box with it isn't going to feel secure.
A properly sized hide box should be just large enough for the reptile to fit in it comfortably, and your reptile should be able to touch the sides of the hide without having to move. Snakes, for example, like hides in which they can touch two or more walls with their sides when they are coiled up. Green Iguanas like hide boxes that just fit the length and width of their body, not including the tail.
A 6" diameter or larger hide box is recommended for geckos, anoles, and small lizards and snakes. An 8" diameter or larger hide box is recommended for medium-sized lizards and snakes, and a 12" diameter or larger hide box is recommend for larger snakes such as ball pythons, corn snakes, and kingsnakes that tend to be about 4' long.
Keep in mind that as your reptile grows, its hide will have to increase in size as well. If you have a juvenile that is growing quickly, you may want to use something like a cardboard box that can easily be replaced until its growth starts to slow.
Where should I put the hide box?
Placement of the hide boxes will vary depending on what animal you are keeping. Arboreal reptiles should have hide boxes higher up in their habitats, while semi-aquatic reptiles will need hides both in the water and on the land area. If your reptile requires a wide range of temperatures in its habitat, you will need to put hide boxes in both the cool side and the warm side of the habitat to allow for proper thermoregulation.

It was a rough outing in the ballroom for three couples who competed on Dancing with the Stars Monday night.
Kendra Wilkinson, Petra Nemcova and Ralph Macchio each received scores of 22, putting them in a tie for last place.
Nemcova, 31 – who has lasted longer than the four other supermodel competitors on the show in the past – doesn't believe in what is considered "the supermodel curse." So, does she deserve another chance to prove that the supposed curse is wrong?
Although Wilkinson, 25, has been at the bottom before and has complained of being "belittled" by the judges, she was singing a happy tune after Monday's episode. The dance "was happy and it was a celebration of my confidence," she told PEOPLE Monday. Will her newly positive attitude outweigh the judges' low scores?
Macchio, 49, started off on a great foot when he took the floor during week 1 of the dance competition, landing in the top spot. While the actor hasn't consistently done as well since then, Monday's bottom spot was a first. Does he deserve another chance to prove he's got the (karate) chops to win?

A group of preschoolers from New York City's Resurrection Episcopal Day School recently spent some quality time with dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes during a tour of the ASPCA Adoption Center in Manhattan.
The students toured the Adoption Center, led by ASPCA Volunteer Coordinator Beverly Pietrucha, where they met and observed plenty of adorable adoptable puppies, adult dogs, kittens and adult cats. ASPCA veterinarian Dr. Jennifer Lander demonstrated a basic health exam on a super-friendly therapy dog named Britney Spears.
For the tour's grand finale, Dr. Lander brought in three six-week-old kittens for the students to interact with. It's safe to say these young animal lovers learned a great deal about caring for animals and had a blast in the process!

Wando point guard Amp Moore looked up at the scoreboard hanging high in the corner of the Florence Civic Center, turned to his bench and let out a smile with a wink. Just seconds remained. The Warriors had done it.
Wando defeated Sumter, 54-41, in the Class 4A Lower State championship game Friday to earn the first boys basketball title in school history. The Warriors advance to face Upper State champion Hillcrest in the state title game March 7 at Colonial Life Arena in Columbia.
"These guys deserve this," Wando head coach David Eaton said. "Our players deserve this, our assistant coaches, our school. It's blood and sweat year around for these guys and they deserve all this and more."
Wando (24-4) entered the Friday averaging 69 points per game in the playoffs, while Sumter was allowing its opponents just 34. Eaton told his team before they exited the tunnel for pregame the tougher team with the fewest mistakes was going to win the game. Wando was it.
The Warriors stretched a three-point halftime lead into 10, allowing Sumter just four points in the third quarter.
"We never backed down," Eaton said. "It was a grind-it-out type of game and we don't care. We've had the pretty wins but I think tonight we showed we can win the hard way too."
After managing just four points in the first half, all-state sophomore Jamez Rogers led Wando with seven of his team's 11 points in the third. Sumter scored four straight off back-to-back offensive fouls to trim the lead to eight midway through the fourth quarter. Rogers killed the momentum with a three for Wando, followed by his signature three-fingers-to-the-head celebration to assure which team was in control. Sumter never recovered and Warriors senior Andrew Glover sealed the win with five straight free throws in the final minutes.
"This is what we do," Wando center Matt Pegram said. "This is the way coach teaches us to work in every practice. When we lock up on defense, like we know how, our offense is going to score and there's nobody in the state that can stop us."
Pegram scored all six of his points in the first quarter to pace Wando early. The Warriors led by as many as five twice in the second quarter but needed a buzzer-beating three from Moore to go into halftime on top.
Rogers finished with a game-high 15 points. Glover added 11 and Taylor Majewski nine. Micah McBride led Sumter with 14. No other player scored more than six for Sumter.
Wando rides a six-game winning streak into Friday's state championship game.
"This win means the world but we're not done yet," Glover said. "All our hard work is finally paying off. We set out to get five wins. We have one more to go and we're going to be ready for the fifth next Friday."

Casting an eye about the packed house at the Buell Theater Tuesday night, I noticed something striking: The usual sea of gray and silver hair had been replaced by younger manes, and the dress code had been dialed back a bit.
It's a sad fact that few under 50 attend theater, but dishing up a show like Green Day's "American Idiot" certainly changed that — for a week or so at least.
The show is based on the Oakland punk-pop trio's 1994 album of the same name, a shuffle-defying collection of rock songs that demands to be listened to as a whole, from the balls-to-the-wall opening chords of the first track "American Idiot" to the melancholy guitar strains of the final number "Whatsername." It is one of the best rock albums to have come out in the past 20 years and touches many of the same places in the listener explored earlier by The Who in "Quadrophenia" and Pink Floyd in "The Wall." The setting, the grim days of post-9/11 Bush-era America, is new, but the theme of a young man struggling with sanity, drugs, his place in the world and the confusing deck seemingly stacked against him remains the same.
"American Idiot" was adapted into a stage musical by Green Day frontman and lyricist Billie Joe Armstrong and director Michael Mayer. Unlike some "juke-box" musicals where a band's songs are simply performed with some dance and a light plot layered on top, "American Idiot" lent itself more readily to a narrative given the recurring themes and characters across the album's tracks. With a little tweaking, some narrative glue and some reinterpretation of Armstrong's original lyrics, "American Idiot" was a huge hit on Broadway in 2010. This touring version kicked off in December and features many of the original cast members.
So is "American Idiot" a rock opera a la "Tommy" or "Jesus Christ Superstar?" Not quite. It's also not a typical example of musical theater. The band is on stage with the actors, for one thing, and in addition to singing, the three male leads occasionally pick up guitars themselves and really play. From the gritty realism of shooting heroin to a fantasy scene that features actors flying high above the stage, "American Idiot" is more interested in fixing a mood than following an airtight arc of plot, and the emotional result for the audience is a mix of hope and "oh well" — no triumph here, but a resigned acceptance of reality.
And those realities — sheesh! The lead character Johnny (Van Hughes) must choose between festering on a couch at his parents' house, sinking into a drug-addled emotional cesspool or putting on a tie and a nametag and toiling in front of a computer at some anonymous company (that tableau is followed immediately by a plea to "get me the f*** out of here!). His buddy Will (Jake Epstein) inexplicably joins the army and promptly gets a leg blown off while the third friend Tunny (Scott J. Campbell) remains home to bicker with his pregnant girlfriend.
As a portrait of American in the 2000s, it's not exactly chamber of commerce stuff, but it brings home quite vividly the turmoil of those first few years after 9/11, when the American we thought we knew underwent a seismic shift. Seen from the vantage point of youth entering adulthood, it's a parable of dystopic pointlessness underscored by one great song after another.
And there is the great power of "American Idiot": Armstrong's collection of songs, both from the 2004 album and a few from the 2009 follow-up "21st Century Breakdown" show a songwriter at the top of his game. With an exceptionally talented cast backed by a crack live band, the show is a must-see for rock fans as well as anyone who wants to see the musical pushed to its limits.
"American Idiot" is not suitable for kids, with its simulated sex, drug use and enough F-bombs to make David Mamet blush.

The Cedar Falls Farmers Market opened last week, loaded with lots of fresh veggies, herbs and flowers. Leafy greens were the main attraction — the perfect inspiration for an Italian meal featuring veggie lasagna, a real spring mix salad and fresh-baked bread.
I try to go the Farmer's Market every Saturday, for a multitude of reasons. The biggest one is to support our local farmers. They are nothing short of amazing in their skill, knowledge and dedication. The farmer from whom I bought my spring greens took about 10 minutes of his time to help me plan my herb garden. As I watched him explain the different ways the plants would need to be cared for, with hands permanently etched with dirt, he actually talked me OUT of planting much more than a few pots of herbs. (He probably realized his precious plants might not fair too well in my hands! I love to cook with fresh vegetables, but I've literally killed every single plant I've ever owned, with the exception of two cacti.)
The second reason I shop regularly at the farmer's market is because buying locally is better for the planet. There's less transportation involved in moving your food from point A to point B. There's less packaging, and thus, less waste, especially if you re-use your produce and grocery bags!
The third reason is that the food simply tastes better. Lettuce that was recently plucked from the ground is crisper and has that almost indescribably fresh, earthy flavor. Bread that was recently made by hand and plucked from an oven that morning is soft and fragrant, with a distinctly homey flavor.
OK, enough preaching about the farmer's market. I give you the recipe — plus ideas for a salad and the name of the wonderful baker who made my bread. I can tell you that the whole meal was a big hit with my kids and their friends — they ate almost every bite and virtually devoured the bread!
1 can fire-roasted tomatoes (I like Muir Glen organic)
1 can tomato sauce
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp. oregano
2 tbsp. fresh basil or 1 tsp. dried basil — fresh is a farmer's market ingredient
1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp. dried rosemary (or 1 tbsp. fresh) — fresh is a farmer's market ingredient
1 onion, diced
1 red pepper, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 cup water
4 cups fresh spinach, chopped — farmer's market ingredient
1/2 package veggie crumbles (I like Morningstar Farms)
1 1/2 cups fresh mozzarella, grated
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
2 cups grated mozzarella (not the fresh kind)
1 package lasagna noodles (uncooked)
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Saute onions and peppers in a saucepan over medium-high heat for about five minutes.
- Add garlic and saute one to two more minutes until fragrant.
- Add tomatoes, oregano, basil, pepper flakes, veggie crumbles and water. Bring to a simmer and continue to simmer for 15 minutes.
- While sauce is cooking, stir cheeses together.
- When sauce has simmered, ladle about one cup on the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch pan.
- Layer uncooked noodles over the sauce.
- Cover with another cup of sauce.
- Cover sauce with 2 cups spinach.
- Cover spinach with 1/2 of the cheese.
- Repeat the steps, starting with another layer of noodles, then sauce and so forth.
- You will finish the layering with the cheese on top.
- Sprinkle additional pepper flakes and rosemary on top for a prettier dish.
- Bake for 45 minutes.
- Allow lasagna to cool, then serve with the spring greens salad below and the Sandwich Loaf made by Lorna Martin at Wild Wood farms.
Spring Green Salad Ingredients:
2 cups spinach
1 head romaine lettuce
1 sprig fresh dill, diced
1/4 cup red onion, diced
Toss the above together and serve it with your favorite dressing. Mine is Goddess Dressing by Annie's Naturals.

The 113th VFW National Convention was held July 21-25, 2012 in "The Biggest Little City in the World," Reno, Nev. This year's location offered a world-class tourist destination with its rich arts scene and year-round outdoor activities. Located a comfortable 4,400 feet above sea level, and averaging over 300 sunny days each year, Reno was a choice location for the VFW National Convention.
This year, delegates to the convention were addressed by President Barack Obama who reminded delegates of his track record of keeping the promises he made to veterans and the military during his candidacy and his presidency. Presidential nominee hopeful, Gov. Mitt Romney also addressed convention delegates, focusing much of his remarks on challanging the Presidents record.
Also, at this year's convention, Army Gen. Raymond Odierno, chief of staff of the U.S. Army, received VFW's Eisenhower Award. War correspondent Joe Galloway received VFW's Americanism Award for his reporting over the past 50 years and Dr. James T. Averhart, Jr., national president of the Montford Point Marine Association, accepted the Commander-in-Chief Gold Medal of Merit on behalf of that organization.
On Wednesday, Vietnam Veteran John E. Hamilton was elected as VFW Commander-in-Chief. Also elected were Bill Thien as Senior Vice Commander-in-Chief, and John Stroud,as Junior Vice Commander-in-Chief.

If a legitimate threat shows up, I'll gladly pick up an m4, but I refuse to be some corrupt politicians play toy.
Fucking Determined!
