You know you're gonna get good eats when you're standing in line behind a respected chef. And that's how it was at Justa Pasta (1336 NW 19th Ave., 243-2249) last Thursday night as owner Roland Sarfagno finally opened the doors of his lunch-only fresh pasta place to dinner. Paul Ornstein, chef at Southpark, was on hand to help celebrate Justa's evolution into a nocturnal creature. "This is one of Northwest Portland's biggest secrets," he told Miss Dish before heading to a table secured by a posse of Provista-ites.
Roland and his wife, Jessica, started out simply as wholesale providers of fresh pasta. To give you a sense of how good it is, know that when you're eating ravioli at places such as Higgins, the Heathman, Caffe Mingo, Wildwood and Gino's, there's a good chance you're biting into a Justa product.
After moving the business from Hood River to a kitchen in the industrial end of Northwest in 1995, the noodlers were inspired by the lunchtime crowds swarming a nearby burrito cart. Justa invaded the space next door in 1999 and started serving simple and inexpensive pasta dishes such as bucatino (a variation on spaghetti) with garlic chili oil ($4.85 for a large) and three-cheese ravioli with fresh basil pesto ($7.75 for a large). Even though this part of the city (more than a diamond's throw from 21st and not quite as gritty as The Bucket near I-405) seems almost deserted, there are plenty of hungry people hunkered down inside buildings working, and they've swarmed to li'l Justa. "I've been fielding questions about when we were going to open for dinner for as long as I've been open for lunch," says Roland. Judging from the crowd on the first night, it looks like the secret is finally out. See for yourself 4:30-8:30 pm Monday-Thursday and 4:30-9:30 pm Friday.
Now, more mascarpone from the tiramisu of the restaurant world:
!Item! Zinc Bistrot, that French place taking over the highly dramatic corner of Northwest 21st Avenue and Glisan Street, opens officially June 8. Yet things were kicked into high gear with an opening party last Friday complete with velvet rope, long, contentious lines for cheese and all the feel of being trapped in a Japanese subway car. Everyone Miss Dish chatted up agreed that the hard work that the owners had put into remodeling the place to rid it of certain ghosts has worked magically. Check out these pages in the near future for a full-length review of the restaurant.
!Item! Italian stalwart Assaggio just announced that it is abandoning its no-reservation policy. Well, almost. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays they'll be accepting reservations. Friday and Saturday nights are reservation-free except for parties of six or more.
!Item! Portland's oldest restaurant, Huber's, has discontinued its no-hat policy. The restaurant now claims the dress code is "upscale casual." And Satan laughed.
!Item! BridgePort Brewing just launched its latest concoction--Streetcar Ale, named for that sprightly little public trans project set to hit the rails soon. Since the little train that could goes near BridgePort, you'll be able to chug-a-lug and hop on board.

Yeah, girl duet sets on Met Art sites usually involve girls from the same country or countries that are very close to each other.
All girl-duets with Antea (Slovakian) were Czech girls, except Angle Dark (Slovakian).
Well her and Milena D working together would have been pretty unlikely even if they both where active for Met Art at the same time. Since most of the time models that appear on Met Art sets together are from the same country.
Oh yes, Antea and Milena D in one Set, that would have been a dream come true.
It's a shame that there were never any sets of the perfect Antea posing with the near perfect Milena D/Sunna.
Nobody knows her real name? She is my favourite model by far.
As long as they keep posting her photos I don't care if they come from the archives or not, but I really would prefer some real new ones.
Maybe you're not aware today's publications are still coming from the archive. She was nude-modelling active from late 2005 till probably late 2008.
Is she still active? Her first few sets in 2006 looks the same in 2015 Met-Art sets. She either doesn't age at all like weight, face maturing, etc or the people who take the photos are just slow dripping them because she looks exactly the same in the 9 year span; as exquisite as she is, I don't think she's an ageless angel.
always beautiful!!
@Frodo, I don't know what happened to the set at MetArt.
@Webmaster: Why ' Mosian' is not seen in the official MetArt-site?, but www.thenude.eu has got it!
@Frodo, if you have an external link to Met-Art showing the set, let me know.
@Webmaster: Movie 'Mosian' is from Metart (Metmovies published 9 januari 2011 - cover looks like 'Antilles'!) But the Movie is the behind the scene filming of the 'Lathians' photoshoot (2007). Yes it's all very confusing.
@Frodo, from which website is that set?
Please also include 'movie MOSIAN' ! Published 2011-01-09 (see my earlier comment at 2014-01-08)
Thanks, her pages are now merged.@Frodo, domai sets aren't covered at the moment by Indexxx. Possibly in the future.
Altea's separated page: only Playboy. Apart from the Antea-page where also her other 'Altea'-works.The girl is wonderful and special to me.

looked at the merrell trail gloves at all? Look like a sneaker, but very thin/barefooty.
My body benefits greatly from being barefoot. My feet have assymetrical arches (one high, one low), and I have noticed that going barefoot as much as possible is helping to fix this problem. I had an old job where I was allowed to wear my "Kung-Fu" Slippers which I found to simulate barefootedness quite well (flat, ultra-thin, hard rubber sole).
However, now I must work at a new job in a factory for better pay/hours. Boots or tennis shoes only. I bought a pair of flat soled Converse Chuck Taylor rip-offs. They worked well at first but as days went by I noticed my feet and gait reverting back to their old ways. It seems as if the soft bottom on the shoes is breaking in with my feet and allowing my body to use its old motor-patterns as a crutch.
So, I'm too poor to buy expensive minimalist shoes, cheap slippers do the job for me but are unable to be worn for ten hours out of my day where I am standing, and I have several pairs of old sneakers I threw in storage from when I decided to go barefoot.
Solution: Resole my own shoes with thin, flat, hard rubber or leather (no heel or upward curling toes). Must be hard enough so that it doesn't break in, at least much, with my feet.
Anybody have comments on materials, process, or sources? I don't have a clue where to start and this thread could be seriously helpful for us poor college kids trying to go primal without breaking the bank.
Thank you.

Steve Maxwell has some youtube videos showing customisation of standard shoes
All the best!
The quieter you become the more you're able to hear.
Mawlana Jalaludin Rumi
Thanks, I will checkout that youtube video. Any sources? I have no idea where to get flat hard rubber soles or leather.
I could care less what the shoes look like. But money wise it just seems like it would be much cheaper to order a few soles I can just continually replace onto my old tennis shoes I have in storage. Seriously as a poor college man, my shoe budget is around <50$/year.
Or you could probably try googling some combination of words like "sole", "vibram", etc.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Former neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman was released from jail Friday for a second time while he awaits trial on second-degree murder charges in the fatally shooting of Trayvon Martin.
Zimmerman left the Seminole County Jail a day after Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester granted a $1 million bail with strict conditions. He ignored shouted questions from nearby reporters as he walked out and got into an SUV.
The judge is requiring Zimmerman to stay in Seminole County. He was allowed to leave Florida after his first release in April. Now he must be electronically monitored, and cannot open a bank account, obtain a passport, or set foot on the grounds of the local airport. He has a 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew.

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
July 11, 2014
An evening of music and romance with A Grand Night for Singing will be the final presentation of Saint Vincent Summer Theatre's 46th season opening on July 31, directed by veteran director Colleen Reilly Rossmiller. The preview performance is scheduled at 8:10 p.m. Thursday, July 31. Regular performances are set for 8:10 p.m. Aug. 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16. Matinees are scheduled at 2:10 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 10, Wednesday, Aug. 13 and Sunday, Aug. 17. "A Grand Night for Singing is a compilation musical," Rossmiller explained. "It is a musical where the creator takes songs from, in this case, various musicals written by one duo, Rodgers and Hammerstein, and puts them all together into a new piece. We've had great success with musicals of that sort in the past. Forever Plaid is a compilation musical; so is last summer's hit, I Love a Piano. This is another marvelous example of that genre. The main attraction, I think, of A Grand Night for Singing is the music of Rodgers and Hammerstein. It's been 60 years since an original Rodgers and Hammerstein musical last debuted. The Sound of Music was their last collaboration. But there's a reason why their names are still known to people who were born generations after they stopped working together. Their music is still hummed by people who may never have seen one of their shows on stage. They are one of the great song-writing duos in American history and their music is just magical. It's rich, it's romantic, it's funny, it's charming, it's touching and it speaks to a lot of people. It resonates with people in a very, very special way." "This musical includes some of those best loved songs like "Hello Young Lovers," "A Wonderful Guy," "I'm Just a Girl Who Can't Say No," "Some Enchanted Evening," "Oh, What a Beautiful Morning," which are great comic pieces, great romantic pieces," she continued. "Some of these songs, which are woven into the fabric of our lives, are presented here in a new context with some new characters, new vignettes and new circumstances. I think the result is just utterly delightful. I think people are going to have a magical, sort of float-on-air kind of evening." Rossmiller noted that the cast contains some old favorites who Saint Vincent audiences know and love and also a few new performers who they are very excited to welcome to the stage. "We have Greggory Brant, who has appeared in our recent productions of Forever Plaid as well as I Love a Piano," she said. "Greggory has a beautiful voice and a very charming manner and is a joy to work with. I'm looking forward to directing him again and I know our audiences are looking forward to seeing him again." "Kevin Daniel O'Leary is going to be in this show," she noted. "He's already been in two shows for us this summer. Kevin always does marvelous work. He's always inventive and captivating." "We also have Renata Marino returning to appear in this show as well as to choreograph it," Rossmiller said. "Renata is one of the most exciting performers to watch. She's always alive on stage, always doing wonderful things. Her choreography, of course, has been an essential part of our productions of Forever Plaid and I Love a Piano and I'm sure she will bring the same skill and sensitivity to this production." "We have two new performers joining us for A Grand Night for Singing -- Caroline Nicolian and Bre Pursell," Rossmiller informed. "I haven't worked with either of them previously, but I have seen Bre on stage. I saw a performance she did as an undergraduate at Point Park that was just captivating. Caroline's audition blew us away and she comes very highly recommended. I'm looking forward to working with both of these ladies. I think they will be a wonderful addition to our company." Rossmiller reported that the Saint Vincent Summer Theatre has had a great season this summer. "I'm very happy that we are ending our season on a high note, no pun intended," she concluded. "The music of Rodgers and Hammerstein, our marvelous cast, this charming production full of delightful moments and humor and romance. What better way to end the summer! What better way to spend a hot night in August than in a cool theatre watching people sing and dance to the music of Rodgers and Hammerstein! I think it's just a glorious way to end a glorious summer." Saint Vincent Summer Theatre patrons are asked to make ticket reservations in advance because seats are reserved at all performances except Thursday evening preview shows, which are general admission. Reservations may be made by calling the theater box office at 724-537-8900. Theatre patrons may also make reservations online by going to www.svst.org. A credit card is required for on-line reservations, and such reservations are transferable, but non-refundable. Individual tickets are $10 for preview performances, $19 on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday evenings, $22 on Friday and Saturday evenings and $16 for matinees. Special theatre party group rates apply to groups of 20 guests or more. Senior citizens, 62 or older, are eligible for a $2 discount upon request on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings only. Student tickets are available for $10 for any seat, any performance. Saint Vincent Summer Theatre performances are all scheduled in the comfortable, air-conditioned Performing Arts Center of the Robert S. Carey Student Center on the Saint Vincent College campus. Free van shuttle service is provided to and from the spacious and convenient parking areas adjacent to the Saint Vincent Basilica. Saint Vincent Summer Theatre continues to feature its well-known Cabaret, the special after-the-show party to which all theatre patrons are invited. Saint Vincent students serve snacks, hot dogs and beverages after the production and also provide entertainment. The cabaret is open after all performances except Thursday preview shows and all matinees. Theatre officials encourage donations if patrons enjoy themselves at the after-the-show party. A free brochure is available by contacting the Saint Vincent Theatre box office at 724-537-8900.

FAU-Harbor Branch Oceanographic Engineering Contributes to First-ever Constant Video Presence in the Deep Ocean
Harbor Branch engineers develop Eye-in-the-Sea video platform for Ocean Research and Conservation Association for use on MARS Observatory in Monterey Bay
BOCA RATON, FL ( February 12, 2009 ) — What started almost a decade ago as a Harvey Mudd College student engineering project, under the mentorship of Harbor Branch engineers and marine scientists, has evolved into a permanent window on the deep sea in Monterey Bay Canyon. After a successful proof of concept, this project was further funded by the National Science Foundation, which made possible a collaboration between Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute at Florida Atlantic University, the Ocean Research Conservation Association and the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI). Just completed, the goal was to design, fabricate, test, and deploy the instrument that now streams video 24/7 from 2,625 feet below the surface in Monterey Bay Canyon, just off the coast of Monterey, California.
The original instrument, dubbed Eye-in-the-Sea (EITS), in its earliest incarnation, was battery-powered and deployed from the Harbor Branch research vessel Seward Johnson to unobtrusively capture images of never-before described deep sea life. The current version is a major redesign and engineering project led by Harbor Branch engineer Lee Frey, and carried out and built by Harbor Branch for use at MBARI.
In addition to being a significant upgrade, the new instrument has taken up permanent residence in Monterey Bay Canyon. Now instead of batteries, the electricity to power it and the communications umbilical that connects it to the world comes through a 23-mile long permanent connection that runs from the site back to MBARI. This cable forms the life line of an entire underwater observatory called MARS, the Monterey Accelerated Research System.
From its undersea vantage point, the camera uses a light spectrum that is invisible and undetectable by deep sea creatures to illuminate the space that it films. The EITS can capture and transmit video of life forms that would likely avoid the bright lights and noise generated by traditional undersea vehicles used by scientists to explore the ocean. Instead, analogous to terrestrial wilderness cameras that are triggered by an approaching animal and do not require human presence, the EITS relies on bait or an imitation jelly fish lure that gives off light signals to cause curious denizens of the deep to be attracted close enough to the camera to be filmed.
The science community, and the world at large, will be able to peer into the deep ocean. The live video stream will soon be carried by the MARS observatory web site at http://www.mbari.org/mars/general/eits.html. Meanwhile, an animation of EITS can be viewed at http://www.mbari.org/mars/general/images/EITS_MARS2.mov.
Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute at Florida Atlantic University is a research institute dedicated to exploration, innovation, conservation and education related to the oceans. Harbor Branch was founded in 1971 as a private non-profit organization. In December 2007, Harbor Branch joined Florida Atlantic University. Florida Atlantic University opened its doors in 1964 as the fifth public university in Florida. Today, the University serv es more than 26,000 undergraduate and graduate students on seven campuses strategically located along 150 miles of Florida's southeastern coastline. Building on its rich tradition as a teaching university, FAU maintains a world-class faculty and is comprised of ten specialized colleges. For more information, please visit: http://www.hboi.fau.edu

10 I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it.
11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.
12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.
13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
14 Yet it was good of you to share in my troubles.
15 Moreover, as you Philippians know, in the early days of your acquaintance with the gospel, when I set out from Macedonia, not one church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you only;
16 for even when I was in Thessalonica, you sent me aid more than once when I was in need.
17 Not that I desire your gifts; what I desire is that more be credited to your account.
18 I have received full payment and have more than enough. I am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.
19 And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.
20 To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Final Greetings
Final Greetings
21 Greet all God�s people in Christ Jesus. The brothers and sisters who are with me send greetings.
22 All God�s people here send you greetings, especially those who belong to Caesar�s household.
23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.[a]

In Wednesday's key matchup, we look ahead to the Week 16 meeting between the Saints and Cowboys.
Key matchup: Saints defense vs. Cowboys RB DeMarco Murray
The much-maligned Saints defense is coming off its best performance in a long, long time. It shut out the Buccaneers, who had racked up 513 yards against them earlier this season, in Week 15 — it was the Saints' first shutout in 17 years — and shut down rookie RB Doug Martin, one of the league's most productive running backs.
There have been signs of minor improvement from the Saints' defense recently — it allowed 400 yards or more in each of the first 10 games but not once since.
For most of this season, though, New Orleans' "D" has struggled mightily. Just a week before keeping Martin (career-low 16 yards on nine carries) in check, the Giants dropped 52 points on the Saints and rookie RB David Wilson had a breakthrough game, rushing for 100 yards and two touchdowns.
The next back that will get a crack at the Saints' 31st-ranked run defense — DeMarco Murray — has rushed for a TD in each of the past three games, and the Cowboys are 8-2 over the past two seasons when he rushes for 73 yards or more, which he has done twice during the team's three-game winning streak. When he is healthy, Murray is a major difference maker for Dallas, and if the Saints allow him to break off a few big runs, they can probably forget about playing spoiler against a team fighting for a playoff spot.
Murray has the ability to make something out of nothing, and he does just that on a regular basis. He has a rare size-speed combination and will find an opening to accelerate through if defenders fail to wrap up when it looks like they have him cornered.
If Murray is having success Sunday, the Saints could put hard-hitting SS Roman Harper inside the box, where he is at his best, but they are already playing a backup at free safety in Isa Abdul-Quddus with Malcolm Jenkins on injured reserve and it will be risky tempting QB Tony Romo to test them over the top if they are playing a single safety high.
This is a game where the Saints' front seven needs to step up. The Saints start three linebackers — MLB Curtis Lofton, SLB David Hawthorne and WLB Jonathan Vilma — that are at their best playing in the middle. Lofton remains a reliable run stuffer and will be looking to clean up on Murray, who often exposes himself to big hits. Murray's speed could give Hawthorne real problems, though, and his power could put Vilma on his heels.
The defensive line has to maintain good gap discipline and avoid making the mistakes that has allowed teams like the Panthers, Chiefs, Broncos and Eagles to each rush for more than 200 yards against them.

Alex Poplawski is usually a shoo-in to win draws for her Springfield (Delco) lacrosse team. At 5-foot-11, the Stanford recruit typically uses her height advantage to overwhelm counterparts.
But when the Cougars traveled to Upper Dublin on Friday for their regular-season finale, Poplawski was up against Kelly Cross, also 5-11, the Cardinals' Syracuse-signed midfielder with some faceoff prowess of her own.
"Alex is able to usually take the draws, but Kelly Cross is just as tall as her and she's a very good player," Springfield coach Keith Broome said. "They kind of neutralize each other. "This is a game of draw control. Whoever takes the draws is going to win the game."

Hamilton Plans, the planned gift newsletter mailed earlier this month with a fresh new design, focuses on the extraordinary devotion and generosity to Hamilton of Elizabeth McCormack. Her inspiring words also appeared in the Alumni Review.
One of the objectives of planned giving at Hamilton is, "To do well by doing good." Each of you will find a page from the newsletter in your materials titled 2007 Tax Savings Checklist that provides helpful personal planning ideas and gently introduces the main objective – encouraging charitable contributions of all kinds to Hamilton.
The checklist includes concepts such as reviewing the requirements of "qualifying" dividends before selling securities, establishing Roth IRAs for children and grandchildren as soon as they start their first jobs and the use of charitable gift annuities to re-balance portfolios. Charitable remainder unitrusts, with variable payments, also have been employed by members of the Hamilton family.
Elizabeth McCormack reminds us of the most important planned gift maxims. First, donors make contributions because they believe in Hamilton – donative intent is paramount. Second, as I have said many times in these meetings for more than twenty years, everyone is involved in planned giving -- the President, every trustee, every development officer. Dick Tantillo quickly adds that everyone is involved in development. Thank you ever so much for all that each of you do for the Annual Fund, Excelsior and Planned Giving.
Hamilton makes a number of resources available to you, including the following:
Email Ben Madonia '74 or Joni Chizzonite or call 1-866-729-0317 for more information.

Make distrowatch.com part of your daily routine. A minimal amount of

I'm in a rut, I guess. I seem to keep the same name all over the internet. Who came up with a new one and why?

Been wanting to change mine, just didn't want to start over...But now we are starting over. :)
December 24, 2002, 02:39 PM
I decided to leave mine alone too.. ;)
December 24, 2002, 02:42 PM
I dropped "The", and became just "Preacherman". Just too lazy to type, I guess... :D
December 24, 2002, 02:46 PM
I changed mine - from Ceol Mhor to simply my first name. Easier to type and easier to pronounce.
December 24, 2002, 02:47 PM
I was going to go to my rel name to make myself more "official" (and it's not like everyone's not going to know it when Feb. S.W.A.T. hits the mailboxes) - but I decided "runt_of_the_litter" was more fun. :p
December 24, 2002, 02:47 PM
Not me!
December 24, 2002, 02:48 PM
I added a space between Lone and Gunman.
Big change, huh?:D

I was formerly "Long Path" (english translation of "Sendero", which I had been shooting a lot and reloading a lot for when I started with T.F.L.) at T.F.L.
December 24, 2002, 02:59 PM
Long Path :D.
December 24, 2002, 03:01 PM

December 24, 2002, 03:09 PM
I kept mine because I use it everywhere. Since I moved I am ont affiliated with a Fire Department or EMS agency.
December 24, 2002, 03:09 PM
not me... cheers everyone!
Tango Sierra
December 24, 2002, 03:10 PM
I was known as "oops" on TFL and some other forums and also as "Tango Sierra" on others. I decided on "Tango Sierra" for here.
I changed it because if someone asked how I came up with the name "oops" it would take far too much typing to explain it. "Tango Sierra" stand for the initials of my real name.
December 24, 2002, 03:14 PM
Each day, I still see the mountain range that inspired my nick...I kept what I had and use it here and elsewhere.

Glock Glockler
December 24, 2002, 03:18 PM
My handle used to be spelled with lower-case "g"s and now their capital "G"s.
December 24, 2002, 03:25 PM
Left mine alone, same handle I use on all other boards I'm registered on.
December 24, 2002, 03:27 PM
I figured i would keep my same name here.
December 24, 2002, 03:28 PM
I'm "Bigdog" on most sites I'm a member of, but when I registered onto TFL I was told that moniker was already taken - so I was "FF1090" there - my old Navy frigate's hull number.
I didn't post much on TFL (it wasn't one of my main sites - :eek: )
but I'll try to remedy that sad state of affairs. :)
Capital Punishment
December 24, 2002, 03:31 PM
Im the same. Im the same everywhere. :)
December 24, 2002, 03:31 PM
I'm in a rut, I guess. I seem to keep the same name all over the internet. But aren't you "Tonkin Gulf Yahct Club" (or some other misspelling of yacht) over on FR? :D
December 24, 2002, 03:32 PM
Rose by any other name would smell as sweet
guess who?
December 24, 2002, 03:33 PM
Same name that I use on all the other boards I'm on. Been using it since highschool, figure why stop using it now. :D
btw, love the new board:cool:

December 24, 2002, 03:35 PM
I did, I was k77/22rp and now I'm Jeff D.
December 24, 2002, 03:36 PM
I guess I am in the same rut. Besides, it's easier to keep user names straight if they are all the same, all you have to change is passwords.
To paraphrase that great sailor (Popeye):
I yam who I yam.
Silver Bullet
December 24, 2002, 03:55 PM
I wanted to change my name, partly because there was another Silver Bullet variation on TFL, but I was afraid someone else would sign in as Silver Bullet and say even sillier things than I do.
Like this.
Jim V
December 24, 2002, 03:58 PM
Nope, stayed the same, I've used Jim V on every board I've belonged to since I figured out how to get on line. Since it is my name, why confuse myself? :D
December 24, 2002, 04:12 PM
Thanks, Tom. :)
I'm noticing that people changing their usernames are almost all going to their real names (or portions thereof) in place of anonymous handles. That's got to be a sign of a great group - people using the internet to establish a legit reputation and share useful information, rather than take advantage of anonymity to post junk.
December 24, 2002, 04:14 PM
kept mine....but i was tempted to use my handle from MOHAA: aeonflux
i decided against it cause i'm sure i would get mistaken even more for being a girl having that name. (those who watched mtv before it started sucking should know what i mean)
December 24, 2002, 04:15 PM
Been want'n to get rid of that dang SW9M for a long time. Seems like it was not long after that S&W thingy. Sorry gun too. And it was hard to type.
I likes my Para:cool:
December 24, 2002, 04:22 PM

December 24, 2002, 04:53 PM
I used Matt19 at TFL. I use Slotback on some other boards, and I like it enough to keep using it.
December 24, 2002, 04:55 PM
Not I said the Squirrel.
December 24, 2002, 04:58 PM
I was thinking about changing to the name I use on 1911 forum (Automatic), but I had this one first, as I came to TFL before 1911 forum. Besides, Prodigalshooter has more "cache" than the other;)
Neal Bloom
December 24, 2002, 04:59 PM
Kept the same one. Too old to try and remember new handles and such.
December 24, 2002, 05:09 PM
I used a handle when I first started on TFL, then realized that I was posting stuff from behind that name that I wouldn't post if my real name was attached, so I asked for the switch.
On this one I just dropped my last name.
I guess that "Jorah" could be considered a handle of sorts; it is my nickname, but everyone has called me that for 14 years... I'm Jorah and Jorah am I.
For a while, I may have been the only Jorah online, but now there are several others floating around... including one young lady.
-Jorah (Lavin)
December 24, 2002, 05:11 PM

I am known the world over as Zundfolge so why change now.
Damn you pdmoderator, you beat me to a classic python joke :p

Formerly NYRSCCA on TFL and currently M700Police on Gun-Talk.
Like this one the best though. :)
Ted Bell
December 24, 2002, 05:32 PM
Used to be MGB (well I still am) but decided to go with a new name -- my favorite fictional radio character ;)

Nope. Same on most forums, unless it's been taken. What a wonderful Christmas present.
Felonious Monk
December 24, 2002, 05:43 PM
Fignozzle : unique, but somewhat nonsensical.
Felonious Monk : Unique, and appropriate on many levels.
--Love Jazz (especially bebop) and play jazz guitar.
--Used ta be...mildly felonious (okay, at least misdemeanorous :p )
--Am...interested in spiritual disciplines.
I understand comments about some people saying things behind a screen name they wouldn't say using their real name. That's not the case here, I'll tell you what I think regardless. Anybody that really wants to know me better will know my real name before long anyway.
We live in a litigious society, and (G-d forbid) if I ever should have to off a bad guy while protecting my family, I DO NOT want posts on a forum to be misquoted, misconstrued, or used against me in a court of law.
PLUS, gun-grabbers aren't the ONLY ones attempting to erode your rights and freedoms.
Personal privacy is my other soap box.
Hence, the nom de plume.
Glad to see all of you!
Thanks and BIG respect to you, Oleg, and your team. Site looks world-class!
December 24, 2002, 05:46 PM
Was JohnnyGotHisGun1 (just bought my first handgun at the time I registered with TFL).
Now, several years and a myriad guns later, its just doesn't fit.
Always loved the passage about Grond from the seige of Gondor in Return of the King.
Erik Jensen
December 24, 2002, 05:54 PM
I changed mine from Kopfschmerzen just because.. besides, no-one can pronounce it unless they're german. that, and my Beretta 92F was my first handgun.. why not.
December 24, 2002, 05:59 PM
Nope, same name, same no frills attitude. lol
Glad to be here. The collective knowledge base of TFL was irreplaceable. At least, so I thought until Oleg gave us a home.
Merry Christmas to all.....
December 24, 2002, 06:08 PM
Same-O, Same-O for me.
December 24, 2002, 06:20 PM
I kept the same name. I have joined Gun-Talk, Thefireingrange, and now THR. I wan't sure where all the ex TFLers would end up so I joined all of them. :)
December 24, 2002, 06:25 PM
Not me... I'm cratz2 pretty much everywhere I go except eBay and glocktalk which, almost unbelievably, someone else already has cratz2 at both places.
December 24, 2002, 06:26 PM
same old "stellarpod"
Likely me anywhere you see it on the net.
(who else would want it?) :confused:
December 24, 2002, 06:35 PM
Went from Fritzers to Bruz...TFL would not accept Bruz as it apparently was taken. If I'am stepping on someones toes let me know and I'll be glad to change! ;)

The site feels like home folks...good work! :)
December 24, 2002, 06:58 PM
Went from 1st name to initials.

December 24, 2002, 07:24 PM
Went from my initials plus a number (hdm25), which is my AOL e-mail address, to my name. Simpler that way.
December 24, 2002, 07:25 PM
You dont know me but some exceptionally cool guy named Edward429451 let me use his handle.:cool: :D
December 24, 2002, 07:26 PM
I kept biere since it is so far the only name I have been able to use on multiple boards and not find something similar.
Well, there was one guy called beer, but that is just pronunciation. Biere I am, biere I will be. :D
Mostly wanted to make sure I can post here.
December 24, 2002, 07:27 PM
Didn't change mine. This makes 6 boards as MarineTech.

December 24, 2002, 07:34 PM
Hi All! How are ya doing!
December 24, 2002, 07:45 PM
I like to stick with the same handle. Once people get to know who I am and I know who others are, it makes it easier to converse with.
December 24, 2002, 07:46 PM
I'm missing part of me..
Frank Jones
December 24, 2002, 07:56 PM
I'm not sure why I picked my old handle on TFL. Morbid thoughts about our future, combined with a desire for anonymity. Anyhow, this here's the name Frank Sr. gave me.
December 24, 2002, 07:56 PM
I'm the same on all forums except "Glock Talk". There I'm

December 24, 2002, 09:06 PM
I kept mine the same if for no other reason than to prove that, unlike the stock market, I actually CAN get in on the ground floor of something good.:)
Thanks for the new site Oleg, and Merry Christmas everyone!

I decided early on that I pretty much hated Diaperchanger. I'd been Lucky Devil before that, but that wasn't working for me either. This was a chance to start over with a name that I know I like! :D
December 24, 2002, 09:22 PM
Ted Bell, I have the Official Ted Bell shirt. In fact it's great for CCW, you can hide a 5" 1911 and two mags under that thing and no one's the wiser ;)
LOL ! Been listening to Hendrie since 1995 when I lived in LA and he started on KFI (late nights no less).
Was disappointed that I only got to listen to him on trips to the mother ship in LA after I was transferred to SLC, but a year later, he want nationwide. I still can't quite believe the SLC station that carries his show hasn't been besieged with flaming torches by the local culture ;)
Oh, as for the topic...
Dropped the "1440" (perfect score) from my TFL login as I go by just Archer everywhere else.
Oleg, I am simply gobsmacked at what a good job you and your associates have accomplished putting this together in such a short time !
December 24, 2002, 09:32 PM
No changes here using the same name.
December 24, 2002, 09:34 PM
Don't post much, but try to keep the same name on every board I visit.

Same old, same old here and other boards. The whiskers ain't exactly going back to being black ... BTW, Merry Christmas all!!!
' Likin' seein' the familiar names. A great gift here, huh?:D
December 24, 2002, 09:49 PM
Hawk is a new user name - this'll be the only forum where it wasn't already taken so I grabbed it. Somehow it became my name to friends, family and co-workers - probably because they didn't want to deal with my whole last name (Hawxhurst).
Previous name was the (mostly lurking) "jart" - a reference to my other hobby - rocketry, specifically an unintended "ballistic recovery".
December 24, 2002, 09:53 PM
I thought about it being a new board and all but I figure I haven't made anyone mad yet so I'll stay the same
December 24, 2002, 09:57 PM
I kept mine the same. I'm still too new of a shooter for anything better yet!
December 24, 2002, 10:03 PM
I switched from my old name on TFL to Rusty Hammer ... figured I'd make the Feds start a new file. (ha.ha)

Was Templar333 on TFL but decided to change it to i-SHOT to stick with the brand I'm forging. Besides TFL and the 1911forum, I'm i-SHOT on the other forums.

December 24, 2002, 10:47 PM
My username is almost the same, but the user name field doesn't allow enough letters, so the last three letters are missing.
December 24, 2002, 10:55 PM
I'm too old to switch. Besides, it makes me feel like I'm continuing the fine TFL tradition. So no switching for me.

I just did make it to 150 posts on TFL as Hardtarget, so I'll just stick with that name. I don't change things very much...I drove the same pick up truck for 20 yrs. (just changed that last month), still rabbit hunt with the same gun I used when I was ten('60). I'm just like that. By the way...I'm glad to see all these famaliar names here...feels like home!

I went lower-case by accident. Poor self-esteem or poor typing? Poor self-esteem because of poor typing? Whatever, it's okay for now. (The post padding already begins in earnest.)
December 25, 2002, 12:47 AM
Kept the name I use evrywhere I go. I am still PATH!:cool:
December 25, 2002, 01:10 AM
I am 'agony' everywhere on the web, but as TFL was my first experience with a forum, I was known as "spleenandideal."
agony is easier. :)
December 25, 2002, 01:16 AM
I was thinking "threeblink" but twoblink has just so much history ;) ;)
December 25, 2002, 01:33 AM
Im just a new member. I came to TFL days before this happened. Im a convert from many other boards. My name is allways the same
December 25, 2002, 01:41 AM
What's this "TFL" I hear so much about? :p
December 25, 2002, 02:01 AM
I dropped the silent and invisible 'h' from my name.
You know, like the silent H in pants. (Really obscure reference there.)
December 25, 2002, 02:10 AM
I am here, same guy, same name.
December 25, 2002, 02:43 AM
I'm the same, I keep this all over since I have found only one place that had it already in use, and it might have been me on an old e-mail account and registration!
Guy B. Meredith
December 25, 2002, 03:02 AM
Guy B. (Burton) Meredith was good enough for my wonderful late parents and it's good enough for me. Besides I've never felt comfortable with being a trend slave and end up going an independent route.
Oddly enough I will miss Longpath, KSFreeman and Lavin.
Hawk, do you participate in amateur or model rocketry? I was one of the founding members of an amateur rocket club in high school that had some outstanding people as members and miss the whole headset and comaraderie of those brilliant minds (one of whom was killed in Viet Nam). One of the members is now doing Mars probes and the faculty advisor is still around at age 80 and acting like his 38 year old self--a regular "Mr. Chips".
December 25, 2002, 03:02 AM

December 25, 2002, 03:20 AM

December 25, 2002, 03:22 AM
Since I didn't change anything I wouldn't have posted here except it kinda became a "tell us you are here" thread so... Here I am, the party can now begin.
December 25, 2002, 03:54 AM
Changed to my e-mail address since I use that everwhere else. Used by given name at TFL --"W.F.McElhany". (easier to type too)
Robert Farrar
December 25, 2002, 06:33 AM
I changed (was rmf3, then Rmf33). I figured I'd just use my name.
December 25, 2002, 07:23 AM
Same jimmy as before. :)
December 25, 2002, 07:29 AM
Not me. I'm the same everywhere. I 'play' with my old classic musclecar Cougars, hence the name.
December 25, 2002, 08:14 AM
I was Gonzo_308 on TFL but am Orion on most other boards so I decided to consolidate now and I am Orion here.

I kept the same one ;)
December 25, 2002, 10:01 AM

December 25, 2002, 10:15 AM
I changed.Got tired of the old handle of Pinball.Been using it for years.:confused:
December 25, 2002, 10:15 AM
Same name on all of my forums...Tady45 is a fishing lure that is used on the Ocean. Very effective... :)

December 25, 2002, 10:18 AM
Same stupid name that I got for doing a very stupid thing.
December 25, 2002, 10:30 AM
I droped the 1 as no one here had used cowboy yet. Cowboy has nothing to do with horses or ranches just a nick name given me by a very good friend years ago.
December 25, 2002, 10:36 AM
I had very few posts on TFL since I lurked for a long time w/o posting- but I decided to stick with the name I finally did post with.
December 25, 2002, 11:27 AM
Changed from 45Rookie to 45R. I am not longer a Rookie. :)

And Runt...the board would NOT be the same with out ROTL as a board name!!!!;)
December 25, 2002, 01:42 PM

Yep, I changed my user name. I was Sandhawk on TFL, but decided to go with the whole name here.
December 25, 2002, 06:53 PM
Not me where you see same old riddleofsteel.
December 25, 2002, 07:34 PM
Went from Jhp147 to JHP147. Just looks better, and most folks called me JHP when they addressed me, anyway. Does case count? I'm Jhp147 @ 1911forum and sheepdog at a couple of other places, if anybody cares.
December 25, 2002, 07:54 PM
Changed my screen name from "Phillip" to "Kuroineko."
December 25, 2002, 07:56 PM
Itsa me! Dactah JONES!
Actually, I do NOT derive my name from the movies, but that's a whole other story... WAKE UP NOW!!!
I must complement everyone who has changed their names: Thank you for putting your old name in your sig!!! Eases the confusion!!!

I'm still 'Erik.'
Though I was 'edenver' prior to 1999. (Record of the old name, along with the personal information and stats disappeared somewhere along the way, though.

Changed mine from WaltherP99man for a couple of reasons.
First was to avoid confusion with my compadre quoted above.
Second WaltherP99man came from the gun I no longer have, my sig line on most of the other boards is a spin off of my first name so I decided to start anew with that name here.
December 25, 2002, 10:38 PM
Kept the same.
December 25, 2002, 10:42 PM
I was private_idaho, but I have been talking (posting) more lately so I figured the private wasn't applicable any longer.
December 25, 2002, 11:52 PM
Not I, said Kcustom45
December 26, 2002, 12:28 AM
I was:The JAMES L. SMITH.Still am on my birth certificate.
December 26, 2002, 12:46 AM
Changed mine. Think I'll wait a bit, just to see if anyone can tell who I used to be.....I mean, who I was before......or maybe who I am now........or, er.......I mean.......oh, shoot......................I forgot who I am.
Just kidding. New here myself.
December 26, 2002, 01:43 AM
I tried to simple it down for me to not forget, and in this case it was my name!:D
I actually am trying to standardize on one simple (for me at least!) unusual name that won't show up as taken, which has happened a couple of times as of late.
So- it went from
Dave Cameron
dacinokc aka david alan cameron in Oklahoma City
Confused? :confused:
At least I'm not:rolleyes:
December 26, 2002, 02:09 AM

December 26, 2002, 03:19 AM
I lost the "_II" at the of my handle.
Makes things easier when you use the same name on each discussion board.
December 26, 2002, 03:43 AM
Was GUTTERbOY, now misANTHrope. Getting a bit tired of the old name, and I feel I've outgrown it over the 4-5 years I've been using it.

No, it means she is the magazines new art director, so when you see all the flawless layout work, and design graphics be sure to give her all the credit :D
December 26, 2002, 08:59 AM
I changed. My name here is consistent with my GlockTalk name now.
December 26, 2002, 10:33 AM
Too lazy to change and the old one was still available.
Politically Incorrect
December 26, 2002, 11:02 AM
I'm still and probably always will be politically incorrect!
December 26, 2002, 11:36 AM
Same name but sharper then ever.

My name is the same. Since it's my real name, I don't have to remember any stupid sounding nickname that makes no sense.
December 26, 2002, 01:09 PM
I was able to drop the -1 at the end of my name. :)
December 26, 2002, 01:13 PM
Not me ;)
Kurt S.
December 26, 2002, 01:22 PM
Just a little bit. My old TFL name was ckurts, derived from a Unix logonid of long ago. I go by Kurt in real life anyway.
As has been mentioned, it's great to see the old familiar folks around, though!
December 26, 2002, 01:57 PM
I needed to change my TFL handle anyway. This was the boot in the rear I needed
December 26, 2002, 02:10 PM
I did. Thought I'd go with something short and vague.
I thought about using my real name, but I can't spell it using the English alphabet. There is also the additional danger that someone might try to pronounce it and that could become downright nasty! :D
December 26, 2002, 02:21 PM
Still the same old Correia. (Its my actual name. Pronounced Korea, like the country).
December 26, 2002, 02:36 PM
Nope - kept mine the same, & I use it everywhere when I can!
December 26, 2002, 02:47 PM
Not bright enough to remember another name...

December 26, 2002, 09:30 PM
Yeah, This time you put the emphasis on the "Hill".
December 26, 2002, 09:32 PM
I kinda hung my full name out there on other forums but for brevity went to first name on TFL and had to add b. as the name was taken. hence: gordo b. becomes Gordon.:cool:
December 26, 2002, 10:32 PM
Same as it was at TFL...:)
December 27, 2002, 02:08 AM
I changed mine, altho not sure why- I was pretty much a lurker there.
What a great site TFL was...I think THR will do its memory justice.
December 27, 2002, 02:11 AM
Changed from "Mister Rogers" to "mack", as that is the name I use on the other board I mostly post at, AssaultWeb, and because it was taken, (though never used by whoever had it), at TFL so I couldn't use it there.
December 27, 2002, 06:16 AM
Kept mine. I am still the Dad of three and I hope I'm not gonna add any more :D
I'm glad so many kept their names. It's nice to recognize so many.
December 27, 2002, 06:30 AM
Well my Signature says it all:D
December 27, 2002, 07:54 AM

Shoot well
December 27, 2002, 08:15 AM
stans is still stans. I decided to keep the nickname that was pinned upon me in college. Short, simple, and I have registered with it everywhere, so why change now?
December 27, 2002, 01:03 PM
Changed mine. I was R Varn at TFL, but I've used Cabby at Ar15 and Glocktalk, so I thought I'd be consistent.
Big Al
December 27, 2002, 01:06 PM
I'm still Big Al, same as on all the other forums.
December 27, 2002, 02:49 PM
Still the same here.
Though, if there is a Lone_Gunman... maybe I should have changed. :D
December 27, 2002, 03:10 PM
Still robear for me...
Like stans, it's a nickname I picked up earlier in my life, and now seems to be a common username for me..
Stay safe!!
December 27, 2002, 03:26 PM
Changed mine from an obscure story of years gone by to a silly pun that hit me in the night.
December 27, 2002, 03:36 PM
From Herb Leventhal to 44Caliber
(1) My legal name is too long to type
(2) I wanted to get more in the spirit of the forum. I shoot at least 5000 44 magnums each year so henceforth the new handle of 44 Caliber
By the way who bears the expense for this new forum? Perhaps a small contribution from each member would help keep it alive for a long period of time!
44 Caliber
* I am beginning to really like my new name. I may go to court and make it my "legal name":p
December 27, 2002, 04:10 PM
No change here, I'm Kestryll everywhere I post.
How do you find out what number you were with TFL? Several have a number listed in thier sig line.
December 27, 2002, 04:38 PM
I was mostly a "lurker" on The Firing Line (LadydeeJ) so I decided to change my name to coincide with all the other forums I visit.
December 27, 2002, 05:19 PM
I have changed. Was rob_p90; sold the Ruger, so needed something new. Always got a rueful chuckle from these quips.

In '99, the servers crashed, software was corrupted, and I was finishing grad school. When I came back after a 9-month hiatus, my nickname had been snagged.
From '99 till yesterday I was Bear Flare. I now re-claim my rightful title! HAA hahahahahah!

December 27, 2002, 11:21 PM
I changed, but I have been through many incarnations throughout the oh, 8 years or so I've been posting things. Yes, they once called my Zentox, or RevZen, even boltactionmag or dial911. Now I am Galdalf the White, err, Metatron.
December 27, 2002, 11:33 PM
No change here
December 27, 2002, 11:34 PM

December 28, 2002, 05:36 AM
Way back when I joined TFL, I was pretty new to the BB / Forum thing and used the first thing that popped into my head. Slisher became Slish based on nicknames.
Moondancer was my "handle" years ago during the CB phase of my life, and I thought of it again just a couple weeks ago. Always kinda liked it, so I thought I'd change the persona here at THR.
December 28, 2002, 05:50 AM
I kept the same name I had on TFL. I post on several forums and the same name keeps me from getting confused.:confused:
December 28, 2002, 07:09 AM
I kept the same name so that the people I offend here will know it's the same person who did it to them on TFL :D
Gray Peterson
December 28, 2002, 07:50 AM
I used to be LonWilson. Now I'm Lonnie Wilson.
I also go by the name Gray Fox, and also Glock. Yep, I was unable to grab up those usernames from TFL and now I have THR. Very cool. :)
December 28, 2002, 10:04 AM
Same name.
New board. Good to see so many familiar names here.
Thanks to Oleg and all who put this together.
December 28, 2002, 10:20 AM
I have a hard enough time remembering this one.:o

December 28, 2002, 02:42 PM
Grampster here, grampster there, Grampster everywhere. Got the handle from my grandkids. Now everybody is starting to call me that. Badge of honor due to its origin.:D :rolleyes:
December 28, 2002, 02:47 PM
I didn't need to change mine. I was surprised no one had taken Yohan yet. Go me! :cool:
December 28, 2002, 03:26 PM
Well, this is my first post on The High Road and I am pleased to take part. I was a member of The Firing Line for just under two years and used to post there as "NG Bruce". I decided to switch to my SASS alias "Odessa" as I have been using that as my "internet name" on all other forums I post at (Ruger, S&W, Marlin, BearTooth, and SASS. Just happy to have another TFL like forum as TFL was unique. Odessa
December 28, 2002, 03:52 PM
     Hi all! I just heard about this forum today, and decided to grab my normal user name before someone else got it. I use Drifter on all the forums I'm registered with except the Pravda forum, where I got banned, and had to sneak back in as John Nada.
     I didn't change my name from The Fireing Line because I never registered there because someone else had the name, and like a lot of other posters I didn't want to get myself confused by using a bunch of different ones.
     And no, I didn't steal my name from an active Fireing Line poster. There was a Drifter registered there, but the last time I checked he hadn't posted anything in over three years, so I figure I have a right to the name after so long.:cool:

December 28, 2002, 05:52 PM

Droped the b243 in Butchb243 . Couldn't get Butch on TFL as it was already taken by someone who never posted.:rolleyes:
NOW BUTCH IS ALL MINE!:p
December 29, 2002, 12:55 AM
Changed. Read Steven Pressfields's 'Gates of Fire' account of the Spartans at Thermopylae recently. I found this particular character impressive.
December 29, 2002, 01:28 AM
Used my full name - Gary L. Griffiths - on TFL. Seems a bit formal, so I thought I'd go with something a little more informal. Since "Griff" was already taken, went with my old mascot symbol (I used to do investigative hypnosis). Looking forward to receiving the same top-notch info on this board that I got from TFL. Thanks, Oleg.
December 29, 2002, 01:57 AM
Same here and all but one place (1973)
When I started this net thing my name and any variation taken.
So I used the year I graduated from HS.
Family joke with 4 sibs parents made a big deal out of calling us by wrong name and confusing B-days. Parents got cockey (wrote them down in wallets) and asked to be quizzed "we know you kids". Me -'yeah well when did I graduate?' [dumb blank stare] when did bro grad and where" [dumb blank stare] Understand this info now written down in wallets...durn eldest son may ask someday [smirk]
December 29, 2002, 02:38 AM
I was Cowdogpete.
It's the name I've used for sometime on various boards.
I am a range officer for a firearms training facility in Colorado. The owner has a name for everyone, he calls me Smoke. I thought it fitting for the enviroment here.
December 29, 2002, 03:14 AM
same name, new place, good to be here, sad to see TFL go...tom
December 29, 2002, 03:19 AM
I'm still me. :)
I understand how your parents feel about all that. My kids don't much mind me calling each by his brothers' names, but get a little upset when I get the dog's name mixed in! :D
One thing they never tell you about child raising is that for the rest of your life, at the drop of a hat, you are expected to know your child's name and how old he or she is. -- Erma Bombeck
December 29, 2002, 03:27 AM
OT, but you'll appreciate this. My good friend not worth a hoot at being around babies...clueless. But he knows hunting dogs. So he goes hunting, daughter about a year old, the one dog is upset about not going hunting, baby is crying, doorbell rings, telemarketers on the phone...wife is frazzled...dog is eating the kids food and the baby girl is into his dog food. Mom lets out a sigh, brushes her back " aw to heck with it...both had shots...I give up"...:D
I think she was glad I brought some groceries over...she was about to forget adult talk....sound familar pax?
December 29, 2002, 03:39 AM
All too familiar! :D
Back when we had three still in diapers, I had many days like that. Have a picture of one of the babies crawling on the floor underneath the high chair that the other baby was sitting in. Wasn't until the picture was developed that I realized that he and the dog had been competing for the dropped leftovers...

Browse Latina
The Sinking of the RMS Titanic, a British Ship owned by the White Star
Line in April 1912, on her maiden voyage to New York was memorably worse
for the shortage of lifeboats, RMS Titanic sailed to it's fate with only
20, enough for only half the passengers. When launched from the sinking
ship into the freezing seas the lifeboats were not full,
worsening the tragedy still further.
Latina rates the difficulty level at one anchor,
recommended for beginning modelers.
All-wood construction features African walnut, ramin, sapele, coral,
plywood and boxwood
Brass hardware such as eyebolts, deck lights, rings, and more
Three colors of thread, brown and raw (pale green) for different
rigging applications
One Latina 1:35 scale Titanic Lifeboat, Fittings, Planking, Stand,
Building tools, glue.
Scale: 1:35
Length: 285mm (11.2")
Height: 55mm (2.16")
Beam: 95mm (3.74")
Painting is not required, but a good choice for enamel model paint in
a large variety of colors would be the Humbrol line found under
vendor prefix ARXR.
Even though the manufacturer rates this kit as easy to build, this
model contains many pieces and much finish work is required.
Previous modeling experience is helpful.

None of you would change places with me. And I'm rich! That's how good it is to be white. There's a white, one-legged busboy in here right now that won't change places with my black ass. He's going, "No, man, l don't wanna switch. l wanna ride this white thing out. See where it takes me."
I used to think that was nothing more than a hilarious quote, a piece of hyperbole that Rock used to illustrate an opinion. But after seeing what the Titans just did, I'm no longer so sure it's hyperbole.
In case the name doesn't sound familiar, Gregg Williams is one of the central figures in the Bountygate scandal that wrecked the 'Aints' 2012 season. Not only was he accused of bringing an illegal bounty system with him to New Orleans, but he waited about 15 seconds before he started snitching on his own players. It wasn't even three months ago that every sports commentator in America was saying Gregg Williams's career in the NFL was over. Who would ever hire this guy to be their defensive coordinator when he was a known locker room snitch?
The commentators were right: no one wanted to hire him to be their defensive coordinator. Someone wanted to hire him to be their assistant head coach.
Williams is on his way to Nashville to claim his new position as assistant HC for the Tennessee Titans. Forget the fact that he's a snitch who no player should trust. Forget the fact that, technically, he's currently banned by the bleepin NFL. Nashville came a-callin, and Gregg Williams just backed into a promotion.
Not just a job. Not just a second chance. Not just a prestigious, highly-coveted role somewhere on the coaching staff of an NFL team.
A promotion!
Meanwhile, Lovie Smith is still out of a job, choosing to sit out the 2013 season instead of taking a demotion to become a coordinator somewhere lame like San Diego.
It's not like Lovie Smith is a bad coach. It's not like Lovie Smith has coached bad defenses. It's not like Lovie Smith didn't WANT to coach. Conversely, Gregg Williams WAS a bad coach, and he DID coach bad defenses. And yeah, he wanted to coach, but the NFL kinda sorta wasn't feeling that. And yet here we are today: Williams has a job (or at least a job offer) and Smith has more free time than Vatican party promoter.
I can't read minds. No one can. So other than whoever is making hiring decisions for the Titans no one can tell you with absolute mathematical certainty how much of this particular decision was influenced by race. But it sure looks bad don't it? What is it exactly about Lovie Smith – former Coach of the Year, sterling reputation in the league, good winning percentage, devoted family man and Christian – that makes him so much less enticing than Gregg Williams – questionable integrity, questionable ability to succeed, questionable ability to garner players' respect, known practitioner of Santería* – to the point where Tennessee would fall all over themselves to hire Williams despite the fact that they don't even know if the NFL will allow him to work for them?
You see why this looks bad right? This absolutely SCREAMS "one-legged busboy." Lovie Smith has done everything right. He led his teams to success. He worked hard even while being Scottie Pippen'd with his criminally low salary. He has ruffled few (if any!) feathers. Meanwhile, Gregg Williams has done just about everything wrong. He violated the sanctity of the locker room. That's a cardinal sin in team sports. And let's not forget he ain't even all that as a coach. It's not like the 'Aints defense was humming before he got suspended, and it's not like his previous stints in the league were all that successful either.
So what does Williams possibly have going for him that could lead to his hiring? Other than being a white coach in the good ol' boy system that is the NFL, I can't really think of anything. He's only got that one leg to stand on, but dammit he's gonna stand on it! If everyone keeps encouraging it, why the hell wouldn't he? It's hard to keep trying to convince us this is a meritocracy when shit like this happens. It's like ANY white coach would do. Any of em!
"Players don't trust you? No problem, Coach, I can tell you got what it takes, if you know what I'm saying."
"NFL says you can't work anymore? Ehhh we'll figure it out, Coach, I can tell just by looking at you you're the right man for the job. We have a way of getting what we want."
"Oh you used to kill hitchhikers in the Arizona desert? That's okay, we understand these things happen, Coach. Now, tell me more about that time you saw Skynyrd live."
"Incredible resume. Hmm… what'd you say your daddy's name was? Jamal? Ah ha!! I mean– uh, oh shoot. We forgot to tell you, son, position just filled up. Sorry! Hey, somebody get Chudzinski back in here ASAP, tell him we changed our minds."
It's disappointing to say the least.
* I might have made up one of these things.

Statistics belie print media naysayers
LAS VEGAS — Newspaper Assn. of America VP of advertising Mort Goldstrom addressed the ShoWest Newspaper Panel audience saying, "Newspapers are like superheroes: mild-mannered on the outside. The reality is different on the surface."
Goldstrom stated that newspapers do draw visitors to their Web sites. In October 2006, 58.7 million unique visitors were counted at newspaper Web sites, an 11% increase over the previous year. Also, 37% of all active Internet users visit newspaper Web sites.
"Newspaper Web sites and integrated technology work together to maximize reach," he said.
Gallup principal Dawn Royal said, "Newspaper is the only media I know that is shooting itself in the foot by saying, 'We're failing.'" She proceeded to show this is not the case.
Although 44% of the adult population reads a newspaper every day, a decrease of about 50% from 1937 figures, this is "still a substantial amount." Occasional newspaper readership has held steady at 85%, she added.
Print newspaper ads are named most credible by 42% of the consumers. For movie selection, 37% of the consumers use newspapers, while 26% prefer online. Newspapers are also the top choice at 60% for their movie directories and times.
Centro CEO Shawn Riegsecker declared, "(You need to) understand how to mine data and sell it to advertisers."
Local publishers rank No. 7 among all the online media properties, with 70 million visitors per month compared with Yahoo!'s 130 million visitor count. However, Riegsecker said that if you strip out the technologies, search engines and mail traffic, you are left with "true content." Then the data can be re-analyzed, showing that local publishers have 69.4% of the consumers vs. Yahoo!'s 63%.
Further, from January through December 2006, Yahoo!'s page views for movies decreased from 200 million per month to 140 million.He advised newspapers to compete by defining value proposition; improving movie sections; making them a multimedia experience; and knowing the audience. Lastly, be patient.

MGS: Peace Walker Review
Horrendous difficulty spikes aside, Peace Walker is great. It has all the blisteringly beautiful visuals, impressive production values and rewarding stealth gameplay you expect from Metal Gear.
Earning resources to research new weapons is a massive part of the game, but it feels like grinding.
Let's talk about controls. Some believe the failure of the PSP in the West is in part due to the lack of a second analogue nub. When it comes to third-person shooters, which Metal Gear Solid is in part, this is particularly troublesome. Without a second analogue nub, camera control is mapped to the face buttons (the default scheme, called Shooter Style), or, if using the alternative control schemes, the d-pad. Either way, you're in for a world of hurt. Trying to accurately aim a targeting reticule with the face buttons is almost impossible. Trying to keep an enemy helicopter in view when soldiers surround you is an exercise in frustration. The controls are better than they have been in previous Metal Gear games, not least in Portable Ops, so Kojima scores points for trying (you can move and shoot while in the over the shoulder view). But, frankly, the PSP is an awful console for third-person shooters. In Peace Walker, you're not just battling the camouflaged snipers and bipedal robots you can see in the PSP's lovely screen, you're battling the shiny plastic you're holding in your hands.
After extended play, however, you do start to cope - never to the point of satisfaction - but you start to cope. It's at this point Peace Walker's fatal flaw presents itself: co-op, or, as will be the case for 99 per cent of Western players, the lack thereof. Peace Walker is a game designed from the ground up to be played co-operatively, either two-player or four-player. As such, the levels have been crafted to suit more than one sneaky snake slithering around their virtual nooks and crannies.
The influence is clear: Monster Hunter. For those not in the know, Monster Hunter is a co-op focussed third-person fantasy action game which has seen huge success in Japan. In Japan, players connect their PSPs wirelessly at train stations and in parks, teaming up to battle huge dragon-like creatures for shiny new loot. In Japan, Monster Hunter is a phenomenon. Obviously Konami and Kojima Productions have noticed.
Peace Walker works similarly to Monster Hunter, warts and all, and it's not ashamed to admit it. One of the alternate control schemes is called 'Hunter Style'. One of Snake's chums, a brain-meltingly annoying young Nicaraguan boy called Chico, bangs on endlessly about mythical beasts. The sneaking missions are divided up into maps linked by lines, like in Monster Hunter. When you're playing with friends you can share items on the battlefield, resurrect other players and even drive cardboard boxes that work like little tanks (that last bit's not in Monster Hunter, obviously).
The problem is not that you can play the game with others. The problem is that the game is at times unplayable on your own. In designing Peace Walker's missions to be challenging for multiple players, Kojima has made some of them incredibly difficult to solo. This is no more apparent than during the boss fights, or, as I like to call them, the soul-destroying battles of attrition that are so hard they make you long for an existence spent rocking back and forth on a chair made of a material you're allergic to and with spikes coming out of the bit you sit on.
An example: I spent over two hours dying against a tank. After seeking out a video of the fight on the internet (it was more a cry for help), I learned that the best tactic is to throw a smoke grenade at the soldiers that protect it, run up to them, make them eat dirt by aiming my tranquilliser gun from right behind them, then tie balloons to them to extract them from the battlefield (a fun new feature called Fulton Recovery). Then, hopefully before the tank spots me, I should run away and hide, waiting for the next set of soldiers to spawn. Rinse, lather and repeat until all the soldiers are extracted and the tank driver pops his head out of the impenetrable armour, allowing me to put a bullet through his very penetrable skull.
That boss fight, though, was a walk in the park compared to the one against a Hind chopper. It circles a jungle clearing, bombards you with missiles while spawning soldiers that move in for the kill. Again, after hours of endless death, I headed online for salvation. And again, I discovered that the best tactic is to chuck a smoke grenade at the enemy troops and Fulton them away. 20 soldiers later, the pilot should pop his head out. That's where the sniper rifle comes in.
