Never mind. It was a bad idea.
March 15, 2013, 09:37 AM
No answer. Still watching.

google is a wonderful tool/search engine

I have a Harbor Freight mini-lathe and I like it a lot.
Your problem is finding or making a 'duplicator jig' for one.
I don't know of anything like that.
Here is a lot of good info on micro-machines.

The only duplicators I know of are for wood lathes. Wouldn't be accurate enough for bullets.
March 15, 2013, 01:54 PM
If you really want to make bullets you might consider a Corbin bullet swager.

Glad I bumped this thread. I just bought the same one RC posted with a 20% of coupon. I think it cost me $15 to have it delivered. I got it Monday but haven't had a chance to plug it in yet.

CNC lathes could do it...
BUT the cost would be prohibitive
and they do have lathe turned bullets look at some of the .700 or .800 single shot
they use a copper turned bullet
March 15, 2013, 08:34 PM
King- if you are going the route I am thinking of, please PM me when you post the thread- this seems like an awesome project....
Plus, it saves me from havin to do it first. :P
Thanks for your help, RC !
March 15, 2013, 09:15 PM
I'm not sure what your thinking but I've been wanting one for a long time. I've been bouncing back & forth on the mini or full size. I finally made the decision to just get both but I'm going to start with the mini till I learn how to use it.
The biggest thing that pushed me into it is I want to make a punch to swage bullets.
March 16, 2013, 08:34 AM
Nosler used to make lathe turned bullets in .22 & 6mm. They were most accurate.
Most barrel makers use a tracing lathe to duplicate barrel contours; as I recall they look to be a fairly simple device. Don't see why that wouldn't work for bullets.
March 16, 2013, 08:46 AM
Since it is just brass it would easy to make a jig to polish out the final product. It would be so slow tho.
March 16, 2013, 04:52 PM
Why not just grind a cutting tool to the shape that you want the bullet to be.
Shape the bullet, polish, then cut to length. Now I really don't know what I'm talking about but the idea sounds good in my head. :)
March 18, 2013, 08:54 AM
Another idea is to use a CNC conversion.
April 20, 2013, 12:33 PM
Another idea: Take the lead screw out of your compound & build a jig with the bullet profile for it to ride against you could guide it by hand pressure.
April 20, 2013, 02:20 PM
Kingmt has the right idea assuming we're all talking about copper bullets. We've done lathe turned bullets for a friend of the shop in the past. We got a carbide cutter made on an EDM, it had the part-off built in so all you had to do is slowly run it straight in, bullet dropped and you clean up the ends, and advance the raw material to make another one.
The guy we made them for lost interest in real guns and now geeks out on air guns, so we only ever made 100ish, still have half the original stick of material, and I think i have the tool laying around somewhere too. With a little refinement I'm sure I could have gotten them perfected with just a bit more work.

What helps children boost everything from math skills to standardized tests scores? Mais oui, it's learning a foreign language. Understanding even the basics of another language increases cognitive skills and equips children in an increasingly interconnected world (and is especially helpful in a country where minorities will soon be the majority) . While many districts have language programs at the middle and high school level, it's better to start even earlier: Research suggests the window for language learning really blossoms starting at birth and begins to shrink by middle school.
If you want to introduce a foreign language program at your child's school, the first step is to spread the word. Talk to teachers, parents, and the principal, and tell everyone about the link between learning a second language and high test scores. Terry Caccavale, a K-12 foreign language coordinator who successfully started a Spanish language program in the Holliston, Massachusetts elementary schools, says this will help you build a strong case, especially in an environment of tight purse strings and budget cuts. In addition to sharing this story, two great sites to help you make the case are American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages and Ñandutí.
Once you've piqued the interest of a few parents, teachers, and the principal, invite a language teacher to give a demo at your next parents' night or PTO meeting. Marcia Rosenbusch, an adjunct associate professor at Iowa State University who specializes in K-8 world language instruction, suggests getting someone engaging and skilled in the latest instruction techniques, such as no-English lessons that use gestures and objects to clarify meaning.
It's tempting to get people excited about learning Spanish, for example, but it's crucial to hold off on choosing which language to offer. That's a decision best suited to the latter stages of the process, according to the classic textbook Languages and Children: Making the Match: New Languages for Young Learners, Grades K-8. Language choice can be divisive. It's best to go with the language you can find the most qualified teacher for, advises Professor Mary Lynn Redmond, chair of Wake Forest University's education department. Instead, gather a diverse committee of parents, teachers, administrators, and the principal together to form your language team. As a group, do some legwork and visit different types of language programs. Ask questions like: "Are students happy? Are teachers engaged? Does the class move along at a good pace? What do we want to recreate?"
Once you've discovered the possibilities, consider your school's particular goals (while keeping a realistic budget in mind). This'll help your program take shape. The most basic introduction to another language can start relatively quickly as an optional lunchtime or after-school program for kids of mixed grade levels. For this scenario, you'll need permission to regularly use a school facility (such as a classroom, the library, or a resource room), and an understanding with the principal about what materials or support, if any, the school is willing to provide. If you're a bit more ambitious — and your school can afford to pay a part-time language teacher — try a once-a-week class for each grade level, which will allow for increased learning and spur more interest in another language.
Experts are divided about whether it's worth offering language programs that run outside school hours. Some say any exposure is better than nothing, but others like Professor Rosenbusch caution that less formal programs run by parents or untrained instructors don't help kids develop "meaningful" language skills.
In a tight economy, your greatest challenge is most likely funding. Even for an afterschool or lunchtime program, your best bet is to hire a trained instructor. Starting at your school, see if one of the teachers has experience teaching a foreign language. You can also check your district's substitute teacher roster, or find out if another local school has a good language teacher. Otherwise, an outside agency such as Berlitz, a nationwide company which offers onsite classes and charges $375 per student for a class that runs an hour per week for 30 weeks, might do the trick. Your school or district could contract with the teacher or agency, and participating families would likely split the cost since the program is held outside of school hours.
For a once-a-week class that's part of the curriculum, your school or district will most likely recruit and hire an accredited teacher. If you have trouble finding a teacher within the school district, outside agencies can provide teachers at an hourly rate. (e.g. Berlitz is roughly $75 per hour.) Either way, the language instructor's salary — plus any materials and other costs associated with the program — would be a line item in your school or district's budget. See budget guidelines from the National Foreign Language Center for guidance on what to plan for.
To make sure your program's around for the long haul, apply for funding from your district and state. There are federal grants like the Foreign Language Assistance Program, but they're usually short-term and are at risk for cuts. You may also be able to fundraise creatively, through the PTO or even from international businesses in your community.
Experts say it's best to have a professional run your language program. Parents won't have much say in exactly what goes on in the classroom, but they can give input through surveys and discussions to ensure the program meets your stated goals. Remember, what's invested in the children's language class is directly related to the results, so be sure to keep pushing for a program that meets frequently, uses the foreign language (nearly) exclusively, and is integrated with what's being taught in the other classrooms. For example, if children are learning about insects in science class, in Spanish class they can track butterfly routes to Mexico and write simple postcards about the topic.
Most importantly, stay involved. Keep your eye on evaluations from curriculum reviews, testing through the National Online Early Language Learning Assessment, and outside specialists. In order to keep your language program going, always spread the message about its value.
"Parents play a key role in communicating about successes," Redmond says. So don't shy away from spreading the word.
Boa sorte! (Good luck!)

Q A with Grappling World medalist and IFL champion Matt HorwichTheMat.com interviewed 2007 World Grappling silver medalist Matt Horwich about his career. Horwich was second at 92 kg/202.5 lbs. at the 2007 World Grappling Championships in Antalya, Turkey. Horwich also competes in Mixed Martial Arts, and is the current IFL champion in his weight division.
TheMat.com: What is your martial arts background and history?
Horwich: I started watching Bruce Lee movies when I was little and then I entered some Dojo Kai traditional Korean martial arts classes. That was my first real martial arts experience. When I was in high school, I saw the first UFC, which showed the undersized Royce Gracie choking much larger menacing people unconscious. I was immediately hooked and at the age of 17, I sought out Royce for my first official Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training. After that, I had a stint where I lived on the streets in Seattle, but then I started training with Team Quest in Oregon. That is when I began my MMA career.
TheMat.com: How has Grappling and MMA affected your life outside the gym?
Horwich: I have always been torn between two passions: martial arts and music. After training with Royce, I decided I wanted to pursue a music career. So, I moved to Seattle, where I thought that would be more likely to happen. For a time, I lived on the streets and indulged in the culture of the streets which included nights of heavy drinking and playing the guitar in public places. We would end up wrestling. I was teaching the other street kids submission moves. One of my friends there knew somebody at Team Quest. My passion for martial arts motivated me to change my negative choices and helped me get sober. I live by the mantra that every positive choice adds up. I try to make as many positive impacts on my life as possible. Something I have now is a healthy organic diet which includes whole wheat breads, green leafy vegetables, spinach, broccoli, bananas, nuts, and acai. I also really enjoy To-furkey dogs, which are turkey flavored tofu hot dogs.
TheMat.com: What adversity have you had to overcome to become a successful professional athlete?
Horwich: My time on the streets in Seattle struggling to make a living doing what I love doing. I think having the fortitude to keep searching for a career that I enjoy instead of settling for something more normal. Now, my adversity is the training I put myself through, since I have that opportunity to make a living doing what I love. My struggle is to improve every day.
TheMat.com: What is your competition philosophy, how do you mentally prepare to compete?
Horwich: I read a lot of scripture to prepare myself mentally for competition. In Psalms it says, "God trains my hands for war and gives me the strength for battle." I believe God was a warrior and we were made in his image. In Peter I it says, "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you," and this is how I try to relieve my competition stress.
TheMat.com: What inspires you to compete?
I have a lot of athletic inspirations including Matt Lindland, Dan Henderson, Randy Couture, B.J. Penn and Big Nogueira. I also find inspiration in God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
TheMat.com: What are your thoughts on being part of the first USA Wrestling-Grappling, Team USA and the first FILA World Championships?
Horwich:It was a great experience. The Turks were so friendly and hospitable. I have thought about my loss in the finals and next time I want my corner to let me know when there is 2 minutes left in the match. That way I can just go for broke if I am losing instead of staying in the guard position.
TheMat.com: How did staying active in competitive Grappling this year help you prepare to win the IFL Grand Prix?
Horwich: I believe that staying active and adventurous prepares your competitive mind for battle. I like to stay active and keep myself physically and mentally prepared for competition.
TheMat.com: Do you think Grappling will become a mainstream sport in the future?
Horwich: Yes, I think it is already on its way. The growth of MMA will help people recognize Grappling as a valuable skill and sport. The American crowd is becoming more and more knowledgeable and that is a good sign. Now that FILA and USA Wrestling are behind Grappling there is progress being made on all levels.
TheMat.com: What are your goals for 2008?
Horwich: My goal is always the same. I want to improve day by day, fight by fight. Faith the size of a mustard seed can move mountains.
TheMat.com: Do you have any plans to compete at the 2008 USA Wrestling Grappling World Team Trials?
Horwich: Yes, my first commitment is to my MMA career, but if my schedule permits, you will definitely see me out there again this year.
TheMat.com: Do you have any advice for young athletes who are interested in becoming fighters?
Horwich: I think the best advice for anyone is that "Every Positive Choice Adds Up." Make small incremental improvements day by day and, over time, you will have improved a tremendous amount.

Life doesn't stop at box office numbers
By IANS - MUMBAI
Published: 05th September 2013 12:48 PM
Last Updated: 05th September 2013 12:49 PM
Actor-filmmaker Farhan Akhtar, whose last film "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag" reaped gold at the box office, believes that minting money is one parameter to measure a film's success, but numbers are not the be-all-and-end-all of filmmaking.
At an event here, Farhan was asked if he is an actor who keeps a track of the numbers that his movies make.
He said: "Not to the extent that it drives me crazy. When you work on your film, you want it to do well and one barometer of knowing whether your film is doing well or not is the box office.
"The other is how people are talking about it, then how many years after it has released people still remember it, which is also another level of success. So that's one aspect of it that you like to know. But is your happiness only going to be based on this and life not move on if you don't get those numbers? You have to move on."
The 39-year-old spoke on the sidelines of the launch function of a new handset by Intel here Wednesday.
Farhan's latest film "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag" crossed the Rs.100 crore mark at the box office and the film was even declared tax-free.

Budget airline Allegiant Travel Company (NASDAQ: ALGT ) has a lot of unhappy customers right now. On Sept. 20, Allegiant decided to ground the majority of its fleet of MD-80 aircraft after discovering that it had not been inspecting the emergency evacuation slides as often as the manufacturer recommended.
Allegiant is doing its best to accommodate passengers by adding flights on its remaining jets, renting extra planes to fill in the gaps, and by offering relatively generous compensation to travelers who have been inconvenienced. Nevertheless, there will inevitably be some customer backlash. Furthermore, the cost of compensating passengers and rescheduling flights will result in a significant hit to the company's bottom line this quarter.
That said, Allegiant's current troubles could create a good opportunity for long-term investors. Allegiant faces little or no competition on most of its routes. Since most of its customers have no good alternative, Allegiant is unlikely to see a significant long-term impact in terms of its popularity or profitability.
Maintenance mistake
Allegiant's recent troubles began with an emergency evacuation conducted on Sept. 16. While reviewing the incident, Allegiant's maintenance personnel learned that while the manufacturer recommended inspecting most slides once every three years, it recommended annual inspections for slides more than 15 years old, as are Allegiant's.
Since Allegiant had been on a three-year inspection cycle, more than half of its evacuation slides had not been inspected in the past year. Moreover, the slides need to be sent out to certified facilities for inspection, which is expected to take five days. As a result, about half of Allegiant's total fleet will be out of commission until later this week.
Long delays
One of the unique aspects of Allegiant's operating model is that it has a much lower aircraft utilization rate than other airlines. As a result, the carrier has been able to avoid canceling many flights; Allegiant has simply added more flights to the schedules of its remaining aircraft. The company has also rented seven aircraft from other carriers to supplement its own fleet while the inspections are ongoing.
But operating a full schedule with half as many planes brings its own challenges. On Friday, Sept. 20, Allegiant only canceled two out of its 121 scheduled flights, but 16 others were delayed by a full day, while another 22 were severely delayed due to aircraft availability issues.
Saturday is a much lighter travel day, which allowed Allegiant to catch up on the backlog from Friday. But on Sunday, Sept. 22, the carrier had to cancel another two flights while postponing 20 others until Monday. Meanwhile, a dozen flights originally scheduled for Monday were pushed back to Tuesday (another light travel day).
Quick recovery
While the disruption at Allegiant was widespread over the weekend and will remain so for the next few days, I expect the airline to recover quickly. Allegiant has stated that the slide inspections will be completed by the end of September, allowing all aircraft to return to service.
The impact to Allegiant's bottom line will also be mitigated by the fact that September is a trough period for leisure travel. As a result, the carrier's flight schedule is at its lowest level of the year. In fact, on average, Allegiant's aircraft were expected to operate for less than four hours per day during September.
Furthermore, by design, Allegiant faces very little competition. On more than 90% of its routes, Allegiant is the only commercial airline offering nonstop flights. While potential customers may be upset by this week's incident — and other reliability issues — most Allegiant origin cities have little or no other airline service. Allegiant is therefore unlikely to experience a long-term drop in traffic.
Allegiant's long-term growth trajectory and the company's fanatical commitment to keeping costs down have made it one of the biggest success stories in the airline industry during the past decade. This week's operational problems are unlikely to break Allegiant's momentum. If Allegiant stock continues to pull back, it could create a nice buying opportunity for investors who have missed out on the stock's run.

Officials: Destination Erie is not 'Agenda 21'
The question doesn't surprise Michael Fuhrman anymore.
At informational forums and community meetings about the Destination Erie regional plan, Fuhrman, the initiative's project manager, often hears it:
"Is Destination Erie really Agenda 21?"
The same query appears on campaign-style signs that have shown up in front yards and along roads throughout Erie County.
"Is Destination Erie U.N. Agenda 21?" the signs ask. "FOLLOW THE MONEY."
Fuhrman said he tells people that Destination Erie -- a $3 million, multiyear plan that will address poverty, job creation, transportation, housing, public safety, economic development, the environment and other issues in the region -- has nothing to do with Agenda 21.
Forged in the early 1990s, Agenda 21 is a nonbinding United Nations action plan for sustainable development. Over the years, however, some activists have become convinced that Agenda 21 is a U.N. conspiracy to deprive people worldwide of their property rights.
"This is something that has happened across the country," Fuhrman said. "When regional plans have emerged over the last two or three years, this 'anti-Agenda 21' movement has emerged as well.
"The biggest concern seems to be that property rights will not be respected and there will be some taking over of property," he said. "With Destination Erie, that is not even close to the truth."
Other people are not so sure.
Information posted on the Erie County Tea Party's website, www.eriepateaparty.com, suggested a definite Destination Erie-Agenda 21 nexus.
The website also included links to information about both initiatives.
"Please learn that Destination Erie and Agenda 21 is one in the same," a post on the website said.
Don Tucci, the Republican nominee for Erie County executive who has described himself in the past as a tea party activist, told the Erie Times-News Editorial Board on Sept. 23 that although he believes Destination Erie "has very similar language" to Agenda 21, he doesn't want to make it a campaign issue.
Tucci, who faces Democrat Kathy Dahlkemper in the Nov. 5 municipal election, also said his campaign is not erecting the Agenda 21 signs. Tucci said he believes local tea party activists "I recently split with" are doing so.
E-mails sent by the Erie Times-News to the Erie County Tea Party's website seeking comment drew no response. The newspaper's attempts to reach people responsible for a website listed at the bottom of the local Agenda 21 signs -- www.DemocratsAgainstUNAgenda21.com -- were also unsuccessful.
Michael Federici, a political-science professor at Mercyhurst University, said people wary of Agenda 21 are likely to be distrustful of the United Nations to begin with.
Further, Federici said, they have seen "the language of sustainability grow over a period of time, and they might think that if there's nothing to it, if it's nonbinding, it would have gone away by now and you wouldn't see things like Destination Erie.
"They worry that it will creep its way, eventually, into the regular political and constitutional process in America," he said. "They fear it could lead to the government trying to circumvent some rights."
Fuhrman said he has no problem answering the Agenda 21 questions. Destination Erie is a wide-ranging project with many layers, he said, and people want to understand it.
Destination Erie is funded by a $1.8 million grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, as well as $1.2 million from local organizations.
"For some people, these are some very deep concerns, and valid concerns. They want to know, 'Will this affect my property in a negative way?'" Fuhrman said. "These are legitimate questions to them, and we need to answer them."

Combat is incredibly visceral, but that comes with the territory of creating a game where one of the key marketing phrases is "be Bond," - more specifically, Daniel Craig's Bond. Craig is a brute of a spy; a gadget-lite, hands-on sort, a perpetually grimacing professional who's more likely to punch you in the face than shine lasers out of his watch, and this is reflected in-game.
Gadgets are kept to a minimum, leaving Bond's augmented reality smartphone as the sole piece of flashy tech at his disposal. Use it to see where enemies are, where bombs are, and to scan objects in range (computers, really) for information. The phone also comes in handy for breadcrumbing, allowing you to find your way around the map. Aside from this toy, the focus is on the body. Bond's hand-to-hand combat skills are highlighted repeatedly, hardly a surprise given that melee is pretty much one of the primary signifiers of the current franchise.
But, as Davis explains, actually getting players to play melee was an issue:
"We've got hand to hand, we've got shooting, but we gave it to players to focus test and all they did was shoot. It's a really detailed hand to hand system and no one was using it because they had a gun. So we wanted to find a way to link those two together. Now, when players use hand to hand combat we give them a reward in the shooting system. Obviously six months after we came up with [the combat system] Splinter Cell came out and it's got a very similar system to us. I think the lesson from that is that they probably had similar problems to us. It's a common problem in gaming if you have two different gameplay mechanics. People will always favour one unless you give them a reason to play both."
Bond can perform roughly 65 to 70 takedown moves, all of which were modelled by Daniel Craig's stuntman Ben Cooke and based upon ideas that came out of a two day-long brainstorming sessions in the studio. Successfully pulling one of these off rewards you with a focus shot - essentially an instant one-shot-kill on your next target. So, Bond will move swiftly through the environment in a cycle of melee and gun combat: break a neck, shoot a gun, punch a face, shoot a gun. It can feel meditative, repetitive and incredibly fluid all at once as you create that chain of moves. You can earn up to a maximum of three Focus Aim points at a time, giving you the chance to achieve a slowed-down triple headshot. For games of this style it's a standard reward really, but even when repeated the umpteenth time is very satisfying.
Blood Stone's multiplayer is still only being described in vague terms, but we're told in somewhat less vague terms to expect a 16-person multiplayer featuring "a team of MI6 and a team of Mercenaries, it's got like a mini story feel. It's got some of the same locations [as the campaign] and characters. We wanted it to feel like a little stand-alone mission, not just a tacked on Team Deathmatch which is what some games do". Bizarre isn't reinventing the wheel here, or elsewhere in the core combat, but regardless the game seems to successfully set itself up as a loveletter to the modern Bond franchise.
James Bond: Blood Stone is due for release on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC this winter.

"Logistics in Motion"
A Riverport in East Tennessee? Absolutely!
At Mile 652 on the Tennessee River, Burkhart Enterprises offers its clients a gateway to world commerce. The BEI barge terminal transfers approximately 500,000 tons of bulk commodities per year.
The loaded barges that arrive are off loaded using two large excavators equipped with clamshell buckets. A 1250 Komatsu & a 1000 Komatsu. A 100 ton Northwest crane is also available for the more heavy lifting.Various other equipment such as loaders, tandem trucks & fork lifts augment the barging operation.
Over the years, barging has been the preferred method for transporting bulk material. It is estimated that large quantities of cargo can be moved by barge for one-third the cost of rail & one-fifth the cost of trucking. Barging cargo demonstrates "Economy of Scale". One eight barge tow, the standard on the Tennessee River, equals 466 semi-trailer loads.

Hackman follows examples of Matthau, Bogart
Character actors are character actors, and stars are stars, and — theoretically, at least — everyone is supposed to stay in niche.
But, like Walter Matthau a decade ago and Humphrey Bogart a generation before that, Gene Hackman is one of that rare breed: the consummate character actor who crossed over to star status.
Hackman was memorable in his first real screen role, in Robert Rossen's interesting and underrated "Lilith" (1964), but it wasn't until a few films later that "Bonnie and Clyde" (1967) kickstarted his career.
As Warren Beatty's jovial brother, he was crucial to a film that, together with "The Graduate" that same year, was hugely influential in moving Hollywood into new directions.
His supporting actor Oscar nomination for that role ensured that he would be working steadily, but — despite another nomination in the same category for "I Never Sang for My Father" (1970) — it wasn't until the blockbuster success of both "The French Connection" (1971) and "The Poseidon Adventure" (1972) that he achieved real stardom.
No one makes great claims for "The Poseidon Adventure" as high art, but even the hugely acclaimed "French Connection" doesn't represent Hackman's finest work. It's certainly an unforgettable performance: He invests Popeye Doyle with fierce energy — but so fierce that arguably the character's moral ambiguities are not as nuanced as in the actor's later roles.
In fact, one of Hackman's greatest attributes is his ability to take us inside characters who are morally ambiguous or conflicted. Two of the best examples of this are the two Harrys he played in the 1970s: Harry Moseby in Arthur Penn's neo-noir "Night Moves" (1975) and Harry Caul in Francis Ford Coppola's "The Conversation" (1974).
Moseby is a troubled but essentially decent guy, who becomes aware that his actions may have tragic impact. Caul has similar problems, but, unlike Moseby, he is a defective personality, a man plagued by obsessions, paranoia and guilt.
In recent years, Hackman has given us a parade of straight-out villains ("Unforgiven"), straight-out good guys ("Narrow Margin") and vain, cartoonish buffoons ("Get Shorty"). But he has also given us two very different morally complex portrayals with "Under Suspicion" (2000) and "The Royal Tenenbaums" (2001).
In the flawed but underrated "Under Suspicion," he plays Henry Hearst, a prominent citizen suspected of a series of rape/murders of underage girls; almost all of the action transpires in real time, as the local police detective (Morgan Freeman) grills Hackman.
In essence, 90% of the film is an extended cat-and-mouse game between two superb actors, and Hackman constructs a character who moves from pompous righteousness to guilty anxiety to despondent resignation. It is a master display of his genius for revealing one layer after another of a complex character.
"The Royal Tenenbaums" couldn't be more different in tone or purpose, yet Royal Tenenbaum himself is almost as morally complicated as Henry Hearst. Initially, Hackman shows us a lovable, irresponsible scoundrel, whose irresponsibility is so relentless that he soon stops seeming quite so lovable. After pulling this off, he manages to make us believe in Tenenbaum's reformation in the midst of a determined antic film.
"The Royal Tenenbaums" is also a reminder of a less appreciated side of Hackman: Like many performers who made their names with "serious" dramatic roles, he was initially not thought of as a very funny guy. But his breakthrough was an uproarious comic cameo as the blind man in "Young Frankenstein" (1974). Sandwiched in between the grim "Conversation" and "Night Moves," the role was so out of character that many viewers didn't even realize it was Hackman.
While he still appears primarily in dramatic features, he has also been hilarious in the first two "Superman" films, "Get Shorty" and "The Birdcage" (1996).
With all these credits, it's inevitable that Hackman has been in some not-so-good films; but even in those he has never given a not-so-good performance. He is always, at a minimum, first-rate; and often he transcends that with sheer inspiration.

Gov. Bobby Jindal must decide if a school bus driver who has been convicted of driving under the influence of drugs or liquor should be banned from driving youngsters to school for 10 years.
The Senate voted 35-0 Thursday for House Bill 1170 by Rep. Nancy Landry, R-Lafayette, that sets out the suspension guidelines. Jindal can sign the bill into law, veto it or let it become law on its own.
Landry's bill flew through the Senate with little debate and no amendments.
The bill says that unless a longer suspension is called for in another part of state law, a bus driver who is convicted of drunken driving of a personal or commercial vehicle, or refuses to take a chemical test when stopped, can lose bus-driving privileges for a decade.
The ban can be shortened if the driver is not convicted of another DWI or does not refuse to take a chemical test if stopped within five years of the first conviction, and successfully completes a treatment course or therapy for alcoholism or drug abuse.
The Senate also approved and sent to Jindal on a 36-0 vote House Bill 1274 by Rep. Nickie Monica, R-LaPlace, that would require a driver convicted of a second charge of vehicular negligent injury or DUI to lose driving privileges for at least 45 days before having an ignition interlock device installed on the vehicle.
An interlock device prevents the vehicle from starting if alcohol is detected on the breath of the driver.
Under present law, the offender must lose a driver's license for two years but can continue driving if he or she agrees to have the ignition interlock device installed.
The Senate also approved:
House Bill 1240 by Rep. Jonathan Perry, R-Kaplan, to require anyone who has to have an interlock device to get a driver's license with a special code showing the device is necessary. The measure was approved 35-0.
Perry's House Bill 1231 to expand the two-year suspension of a license for driver convicted of killing a fetus in an accident. The ban now applies to vehicular and negligent homicide. The bill was approved 36-0.
Those bills also go to Jindal.

|Graton Casino workers hold vote on unionizing
Employees of the Graton Resort and Casino held a vote last week in the Events Center on whether or not to unionize.
Currently, employees in support of unionizing believe it will create improved labor practices for the casino's 600 workers. Representatives from Unite Here Local 2850, an Oakland-based union who represents 100,000 workers in gambling sites in the United States and Canada, are hoping to add Rohnert Park's new casino to their list.
Graton currently is Sonoma County's largest employer. By the end of Tuesday's union gathering, more than 200 people had voted in favor of unionizing.
"When given the choice, people overwhelmingly choose to be represented," said Wei-Ling Huber, president of Unite Here Local 2850.
Huber stated that unionizing helps protect jobs and create fair rules for employees.
Greg Sarris, chairman of the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria, is pro-labor and had made it a right for his employees to unionize if that was the wish of the majority.
Because of his toleration, the union vote event did not have to be held in private, but was a public event, gathering much anticipation for the workers' futures.
Although some workers stated they are grateful for the casino's above-average wages and consistent meal and break time allocation, some are hoping a union will make them feel less intimidated to take vacation days or sick leave.
Sarah Norr, a researcher at Here Local 2850, described the climate the day of voting as "different" compared to other casinos who have a fear of unionizing. Graton will need at least half of the 600 employees to enroll in order to create this union. There are currently 400 workers at the casino's food court and restaurants, but they are employed separately and will require an isolated drive. They are not covered under the casino's "right to unionize" agreement. The complete results of the vote have yet to be tallied.

In every major apple-growing region in the United States, there is an exponential expansion of commercial hard cider production. One source lists more than 100 licensed commercial cideries (wineries that specialize in hard cider production) across the country. The majority of these businesses are less than 10 years old, showing the growing popularity of hard cider among consumers. Virginia has at least seven licensed commercial cideries, and several more are slated to open in the next few years. Additionally, individuals who are interested in starting or expanding their orchard, winery, or cidery business are increasingly approaching Virginia Tech, Virginia Cooperative Extension, and Virginia Department of Consumer Services personnel for technical support on growing hard cider apples and making hard cider. Possessing many parallels to the Virginia wine industry, hard cider production can positively impact rural economies by creating a new value-added agricultural opportunity, which promotes tourism, land preservation and Virginia's apple industry.
Similar to wine, there is a large range of hard cider styles available in the marketplace. On the one end of the spectrum are ciders that have high-sugar content and may be made from a mix of fresh apple juice, apple juice concentrate, and/or water. On the other end of the spectrum are ciders that are dry to semi-dry (meaning that there is no or very little residual or added sugar in the final product) fermented from 100 percent apple juice. These ciders are often made from hard cider apple varieties or a blend of apple varieties, which provides a complex flavor profile. Hard cider apple varieties are unique in their chemical composition, having high acid and/or high tannin content. They also have unique names, such as Hewes Crab, Black Twig, and Sheepnose. Many hard cider producers believe that these specialized varieties are essential to the quality and marketability of their products. Hard cider may also be made from varieties commercially grown in Virginia, such as Winesap or Stayman.
In 2011, a Specialty Crop Block Grant from VDACS was awarded to the Nelson County Economic Development Office to fund economic feasibility studies of hard cider orchards and cideries. The outcomes from this grant were intended to help overcome the limited availability of hard cider apples in Virginia by producing a better understanding of the market for and economics of hard cider and hard cider apples. Ultimately, the goal is to help new and expanding cideries develop successful business plans and increase the production of hard cider within the commonwealth.
As part of this project, we conducted surveys of the existing hard cideries in Virginia, as well as surveying existing apple growers' interest in growing apples for the cideries. Below are two presentations that summarize these surveys:
Study 1: Hard cider orchard economic feasibility studies by Jarrad Farris, Greg Peck, and Gordon Groover, Virginia Tech.
A partial budget for growing dual-purpose apples (defined as an apple cultivar that potentially has multiple market destinations, e.g. hard cider, fresh market, or processing) and an enterprise budget for planting and growing hard cider apples were developed to help growers outline the major revenues, expenses, and risk associated with producing these apple cultivars for sale to cideries. Both of these decision aids are available as Microsoft Excel® workbooks with a built-in user's manual. To learn more, please read the extension publication that we wrote:

on September 12, 2012 - 11:26 PM
Former Bills quarterback Daryle Lamonica and some of the other star performers Buffalo has faced will be featured at the Bills Alumni Foundation's annual weekend of events starting Saturday.
Among the events on the schedule of fund-raising events will be a VIP Gala at Seneca Niagara Casino in Niagara Falls at 6 p.m. Saturday, a VIP Tailgate Tent Party at Ralph Wilson Stadium from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Sunday and the Alumni Charity Celebrity Golf Classic on Monday (10 a.m. shotgun start) at Seneca Hickory Stick in Lewiston.
"Greatest Rivals" is the theme of the celebration and the Alumni Foundation has invited Lamonica and other greats of the NFL.
Scheduled to appear are Pro Football Hall of Famers Len Dawson, Anthony Munoz, Elvin Bethea and Roger Wehrli as well as All-Pros L.C. Greenwood, Albert Lewis and Lamonica.
During its American Football League championship years, Buffalo had no bigger rival, perhaps, than Dawson, the quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs and their predecessor, the Dallas Texans.
The Bills were unbeaten against Dallas/Kansas City for eight games from 1962 through '65, but Dawson got his revenge when he led the Chiefs to a 31-7 victory over Buffalo in the 1966 AFL championship game at War Memorial Stadium. The outcome meant the Chiefs, not the Bills, had the honor of facing the NFL champion Green Bay Packers in what was to become known as Super Bowl I.
Booker Edgerson, Alumni Foundation president and cornerback on the Bills' teams of the '60s, remembers Dawson's deceptive ball handling on play-action passes.
"If a cornerback was caught looking into the backfield, more than likely he would get burned," said Edgerson, who ranks Dawson and Babe Parilli of the Boston Patriots as the trickiest ball handlers he had to face.
Deal that lives in infamy
If there was a vote for "Worst Trade in Bills History," it probably would be unanimous: The deal that sent Lamonica from Buffalo to the Oakland Raiders in 1967. It still hurts long-time Bills fans to think about it, especially the six touchdown passes Lamonica put up in the first half of the 50-21 rout of the Bills in 1969.
Greenwood was a two-time first-team All-Pro end with the Pittsburgh Steelers' famed Steel Curtain defense in 1974 and '75. He was surrounded by future Hall of Fame players - Mean Joe Greene, Jack Lambert, Jack Ham and Mel Blount - which may be the reason that he was a six-time finalist in Hall of Fame voting but never selected to enter the shrine in Canton, Ohio.
That's an injustice, according to Bills Hall of Fame guard Joe DeLamielleure.
"Donnie Green [Bills' right tackle on the Electric Company Line of those years] and I talk about it all the time," DeLamielleure said. "We can't believe he's not in the Hall of Fame. He had such great moves and he played hard all the time."
Few offensive linemen the Bills have faced enjoyed a career that matches that of Anthony Munoz, the fixture at left tackle for the Cincinnati Bengals from 1980 to 1992.
The Bills ran into Munoz and the Bengals 11 times, including playoff games in 1981 and 1988. The '88 game was for the AFC championship. There were some titanic matchups between Munoz and Bills' Hall of Fame right defensive end Bruce Smith. Bruce managed 4� sacks against Munoz, all in three Buffalo losses.
Bethea dominated
With Bethea at defensive end in the Houston lineup, starting in 1968, Buffalo was winless in eight games against the Oilers until a 30-13 victory in Elvin's final season (1983).
A four-time Pro Bowl selection and two-time first-team All-Pro in a career that spanned 1983-98, Lewis faced star receiver Andre Reed and the Bills five times as the starting left cornerback with the Chiefs (1983-93).
Buffalo faced the-then St. Louis Cardinals only three times during Wehrli's time, winning once, on Thanksgiving Day in 1975.
Bills standouts Edgerson, Butch Byrd, DeLamielleure, Billy Shaw, Jeff Wright, Andre Reed and Joe Ferguson will be paired with each of the opposing legends at Saturday's Gala. Former Bill Paul Maguire will be the master of ceremonies.
Among the Bills Alumni expected to attend the weekend events are: Al Bemiller, Mark Brammer, Ruben Brown, Byrd, Steve Christie, Hilton Crawford, Joe Cribbs, DeLamielleure, Edgerson, Charley Ferguson, Joe Ferguson, Will Fowler, Tony Greene, Harry Jacobs, Ken Jones, Marlon Kerner, Joe Kulbacki, Lamonica, Frank Lewis, Adam Lingner, Reggie McKenzie, Maguire, Mike McBath, Pete Mills, Jeff Nixon, Marlo Perry, Lou Piccone, Reed, Ed Rutkowski, Kurt Schulz, Paul Seymour, Billy Shaw, Mike Stratton, David White, Chris Williams, Wright, Marlin Briscoe, Ron McDole, Chris Keating, Paul Guidry, Ernie Warlick, Bob Schmidt, George Flint, Butch Rolle, Roland Hooks, J.D. Hill and Leonard Smith.
The Alumni Weekend is the foundation's primary fund-raising event.
"This year we are making the American Diabetes Association our primary recipient of funds raised in 2012," Edgerson said.
The Bills Alumni Weekend of Events is open to the public. For sponsorship information, tickets or general information, call JRC Promotions at 694-7867 or email email@example.com.

COLUMBUS — The Northern Burlington High School boys' basketball team received its first sign that it was equipped to play with almost anybody when, back on Jan. 11, the Greyhounds defeated Willingboro for the first time since 2002 and just the second time in four decades.
"Beating a team like that, knowing that it's been a while since any team in our school had beat them, is a momentum-changer for me," Northern Burlington's Stephon Gadiare said of the previous meeting with the Chimeras. "This year's my last year, so beating teams that previous Northern teams haven't beaten is big."
So with a five-game stretch ahead of the Greyhounds before they likely open up the NJSIAA Group III Central tournament as the No. 3 seed against No. 14 Jackson Liberty, Gene Darling's club was hopeful it could pull off the near-unprecedented sweep of Willingboro.
Darling's club came close, but a three-minute stretch late in the fourth quarter proved to be the difference as the Chimera's ratcheted up the pressure and rode that to a much-less-comfortable-than-it-looked 67-57 win last night at Northern Burlington.
"We needed good possessions and not to settle for jump shots," Darling said. "We needed to work the ball inside and try not to turn the ball over. On the defensive end, we got a little relaxed.
"They'd just have the single down screen, and we weren't fighting through screens any more."
Gadiare led all scorers with 24 points — the sixth time he's gone for 20-or-more this season — to go along with three steals.
The senior guard stole a pass and went the other way for a one-handed slam early in the third quarter, and Marcus Brown followed with a field goal as the Greyhounds opened up a 34-25 lead and looked to have the momentum firmly in their favor.
Willingboro, however, responded with a 13-3 run, keyed by a pair of wide-open 3-pointers, to take a 38-36 lead.
"They got a couple of open threes that they hit and it shifted the momentum there," Darling said.
Brown converted a running one-hander in the lane and converted the back-end of a trip to the foul line to put Northern Burlington back on top, 39-38, but that would be the last lead the Greyhounds would hold.
The Greyhounds pulled within a possession one final time, 46-44, after Marshe Terry hit a pair of free-throw attempts, but Willingboro closed out the contest with a 21-13 run.
"I think we needed to swing the ball a little bit more," Gadiare said of the offense's struggles down the stretch. "When we're down, everyone's trying to do what they can do to help us get back in the game, but I think the biggest thing was not making the extra pass."
Joey Montalvo added 10 points and four assists, and Brown finished with 10 points and seven rebounds for Northern Burlington.
WILLINGBORO — Thomas Farrior 4-4-0-20, Shaun Russell 4-2-5-19, Anthony Robbins 4-1-3-14, Aaron Briggs 2-0-0-4, Terique Robinson 1-0-2-4, Joey Taylor 0-0-4-4, Jeff Haddock 0-0-2-2, Anthony Chambers 0-0-0-0, Carry Saturne 0-0-0-0. Totals: 15-7-16-67.
N. BURLINGTON — Stephon Gadiare 5-4-2-24, Marcus Brown 4-0-2-10, Joey Montalvo 2-2-0-10, Frank Bilancio 3-0-0-6, Jalen Peacock 0-0-3-3, Marshe Terry 0-0-2-2, Jmaurie Tucker 0-0-2-2, Tyler O'Dell 0-0-0-0. Totals: 14-6-11-57.

Meh - Sutton.
Mediocre at best in NYJ when he was the DC, no better when he was the LB coach and a clear 3-4 candidate.
I was really hoping for a 4-3 guy with an actual track record of sustained success. Dutton's just a bleh coach that's not really
Sutton doesn't appear likely to bring anything to the table. He may not take anything off it (hard to say), but he sure doesn't look like a guy that's going to give you anything more than you already have. He's essentially the DC version of a game managing QB.
If you can't draw a crowd, draw dicks on the wall.

thanks. i cruised by both your journals last night. good luck to you as well, that salad looked delicious!
not sure if i'm posting a "before" pic even if there's a contrast- i guess i'm just vain that way.
(begin general journal whinage)
it's going to be really hard to stay satiated without dairy. most of the time i have no issues with satiety in the morning because i have 500 cal from fat in my coffee. i've had 500 calories this morning, but it's mostly protein and carbs (mostly protein). i don't really like bacon, and avocados are really expensive ($1-1.50ea). i don't really like coconut oil or coconut manna, nuts are out, and i don't really want to chug olive oil. yeah, bitch and moan, i'm sure i'll figure out something (like shelling out more $$ for avocados even though $$ is already a point of contention here).

PLAINFIELD — A father and son were captured Wednesday in upstate New York in connection with the stabbing death of a Plainfield man last week.
Pablo Garcia, 49, is accused of murdering 19-year-old Jose Feliciano Garcia Toj on Jan. 17, Union County Prosecutor Theodore Romankow said today.
Garcia's son, 19-year-old Rodvin Garcia, is charged with hindering his father's apprehension.
The two were arrested around 8 p.m. Wednesday in the Dutchess County, N.Y., hamlet of Dover Plains, Romankow said. Local sheriff's officers assisted members of the Union County Homicide Task Force in making the arrest.
Toj, a native of Guatemala, was discovered last week shortly after family members reported him missing, Romankow said. He and Pablo Garcia shared a basement-level apartment in a building in the 300 block of East Front Street, the prosecutor's office said.
Toj's death marks the third homicide in the city this year, and comes on top of eight last year – a marked increase that local police blame on gang violence.
Pablo is being held on $3 million bail. Rodvin Garcia is being held on $100,000 bail. Both are lodged at the Dutchess County jail pending extradition, the prosecutor's office said.

Early stage memory loss group forming
A new group now forming in the Bothell area will give people experiencing symptoms of early stage memory loss a chance to meet others in the same situation. The
nine-session program
, offered by the Alzheimer's Association in cooperation with the Northshore Senior Center, Woodinville Adult Day Center, Northshore Adult Day Center, Arden Court Alzheimer's Living and the University of Washington Alzheimer's Disease Research Center, will
meet at the Northshore Senior Center from 1 to 3 p.m., beginning Monday, Oct. 5.
Participants will meet with trained facilitators to learn strategies for managing day-to-day life, how to cope with changes in family and social relationships, and legal and financial preparations they will want to make. A concurrent group for families or companions will meet nearby.
Space is limited, so pre-registration is necessary by calling Linda Woodall at the Alzheimer's Association at 1-800-848-7097. Participants should be aware of their memory loss but be able to verbalize their concerns and exhibit insight. There is no cost for participants.

Chocolate is one of my favorite things to eat and is actually ideal for the skin when absorbed from the outside too. Chocolate contains oil's and fats that while your hips and thighs hate that, you skin will love it.
Chocolate orange lip balm will have you licking your lips a little too often. Chocolate can be spread over your body literally from head to toe with a Chocolate body wrap or how about soaking in a Chocolate milk bath.
If I still haven't got your taste buds going then how about these.
Or Rebecca's soap delicatessen has a lovely Chocolate and orange soap recipe.
If all this chocolate still isn't chocolatey enough then pick up some added scent with a commercial grade
chocolate fragrance oil which can be bough at From Nature with love.

UNESCAP Releases Report on Greening Growth in Asia and the Pacific
October 2009: The United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP) has released a report entitled "Greening Growth in Asia and the Pacific."
The report follows up on the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) by identifying actions that could be taken to implement the Regional Implementation Plan for Sustainable Development in Asia and the Pacific, 2006-2010. It identifies policy options and approaches that could expand economies while simultaneously improving welfare, reducing poverty and protecting natural capital. For example, the publication explores the potential for eco-tax reform, developing sustainable infrastructure, encouraging sustainable consumption, and greening business activity. The report also includes sections on: the basic principles of greening growth; quality of economic growth; eco-efficiency of economic growth; environmental sustainability vis-à-vis environmental performance; and case studies on companies in the Asia and the Pacific region.

Our Mission : Hunger
Hunger hurts eastern Massachusetts. One in nine members of our community is at risk of hunger, and that number is growing. Based on agency reporting, The Greater Boston Food Bank has witnessed a 21% increase in requests for food assistance since 2008.
Hunger is not a problem facing just those in poverty. A recent study shows that 47% of those at risk for hunger in eastern Massachusetts earn too much to be eligible for government-provided emergency food assistance. Many never dreamed they would need a food pantry or community meal program to feed themselves and their families.
Why is hunger hurting so many in our community?
The answer has less to do with food – there's plenty of food available – and more to do with economic and political obstacles. With most food in our country moving from west to east, we are at the end of the distribution pipeline, making food more expensive. Our cold winters mean higher heating bills, and housing costs are higher relative to other areas of the country. Ending hunger means addressing those systemic problems, while doing everything possible, every day, to feed hungry people.
Hunger Study
Every four years, The Greater Boston Food Bank participates in a comprehensive study on hunger and food insecurity in the United States. The most recent study, released in August 2014, illustrates how the need for food assistance has grown nationwide, statewide, and in eastern Massachusetts.
The local report reveals that 420,000 people were served by GBFB in 2012-2013. This means that a little more than 8 percent of the eastern Massachusetts population uses a food pantry, soup kitchen or shelter. Due to underreporting and other statistical factors, GBFB may actually be serving over 500,000 annually.
Key findings for eastern Massachusetts include:
- 64% of GBFB member agencies reported an increase in volume of clients served.
- 91% of GBFB's member agencies said a decrease in food received from GBFB would have a major affect on their ability to serve clients.
- As many as 420,000 people sought food assistance from GBFB in 2012-2013.
- About a third of the households receiving food assistance have at least one child younger than 18 years of age.
- Half of those served belong to the most vulnerable age groups of children and seniors, where proper nutrition is vital.
- 72% of households need to use a food pantry on a regular basis to have enough to eat.
Many of those interviewed had to make unacceptable choices:
- 61% had to choose between food and utilities (heat and electricity).
- 60% had to choose between food and rent/mortgage payments.
- 60% had to choose between food and medical care.
- 31% had to choose between food and education.
There is no one face of hunger:
- 1 in 3 are children under 18 and 1 in 5 are 60 years or older.
- In 67% of households, the main income earner is not employed. More than 2/3 of those unemployed are elderly, retired, disabled, in poor health or caring for someone in poor health.
- 57% of households have at least one member with education beyond high school.
Poverty and food insecurity are linked:
- About half of all households reported monthly incomes of less than $1,000 and 45% earn less than $10,000 annually.
- 61% live below the federal poverty line (less than $1,526 a month for a family of three).
