Research the seller's feedback. I have done business on E-bay. Never a problem. I personally do not do business when the feedack is less than 98% and a little hesitant when its around 98.5%.

I buy on eBay when I have no other good choice, but I am morally opposed to doing business that increases the wealth of the anti-gun liberals who run it.
I never had a bad experience on eBay but be careful---many things there can be bought cheaper from other sources.
eBay started as a national garage sale and most sales were from individual to individual.
Now it is mostly taken over by company sales.
February 11, 2009, 06:33 AM
As noted, see how many total sales and how much feed back. Also, REALLY watch where the seller is physically located and their shipping costs. You can read the feedback and get a pretty good idea of what you're dealing with.
One of the big things is to sell the item at close to cost but mark the shipping way high. I saw one moderate sized item that was over $30 shipping.
I've bought over a hundred items and only had problems that weren't solved once.

well, i have bought some stuff off from ebay. i have curtailed it for the most part since they have become anti-gun. but i do recognise that in these times, where we need to get the most bang for the buck, it is hard not to sometimes. also, just because ebay is anti-gun, many of their sellers are pro gun, which makes it even more difficult. i guess, make sure you are really getting a deal, and watch for outrageous shipping charges. i have found many times that by the time you add the shipping and handleing charges, you can buy ourtight from a local store. there are other auction sites for gun stuff also. gunbroker.com, and reloadersauction.com are two that come to my mind. reloaders auction, was put together by someone after ebay decided to become anti-gun.

I've only bought about four items from eBay in 8 years or so.
I did just score a NIB Storm case from a private seller for $80 though. I just happened to find his auction when I was looking for a case and since he only had done four previous auctions, ever, evidently people were scared off of bidding.

I have a lot of experience buying and selling on Ebay. It used to be much better, in my opinion, when it was used more by individuals rather than companies or 'Ebay Stores'. It was more person to person. Hey, it's the capitalist way, Ebay just isn't the same though. For buyers it is still good just different, for sellers who aren't into volume and just have a few things they want to sell it's not as good. Great deals can be had and some sellers are extremely quick shippers and very nice to do business with. I can recommend Wilderness Sports for scopes. Be very careful though, read the fineprint, twice. Check the feedback and keep in mind that some companies do not honor their rebate offers if the item was bought through an unauthorized retailer on Ebay. I didn't know they were anti-gun though so that's one more reason for me to avoid it. Thanks for the heads-up.

Do your research. Know what the retail price is of the item you are bidding on and never go above it. Some people get caught up in the competition of bidding and end up paying more than they would have if they had purchased it straight out.
That being said, there are some good deals on ebay but (as U.S.SFC_RET said) research the seller's feedback. Look for some one who has been doing business there for more than a couple of years. Most of these people want to have and keep a good rep.
Make sure you check out their return policies. You don't want to have a hassle if you get a product that doesn't live up to your expectations. I have purchased numerous items on Ebay and so far I have saved money over purchasing elsewhere.
I recently purchased 2 (for large handguns) in car pistol safes (with cable to wrap around seat frame) for less than $80.00 which includes shipping. I searched the net and the best price I could find elsewhere was $99.00 ea. plus shipping.
Good luck and happy bidding!
February 11, 2009, 09:08 AM
IMO, the sellers tend to make more off shipping than the price of the item itself. E-bay is not always the low cost alternative.
February 11, 2009, 09:14 AM
I bought two Leupolds off of ebay at a price that nobody else could come close to.
My father and brothers buy stuff off of ebay all the time.
February 11, 2009, 09:15 AM
You have to know your products and the prices..... a lot of retailers charge more on ebay because of the fees that ebay charges. You can frequently get better prices calling the retailer directly. But sometimes you get good deals. Last night I bought a scope mount on ebay new in box. The price was lower than I could get it for from Midway USA.
February 11, 2009, 09:27 AM
I have bought a couple of pairs of grips off ebay. My wife has an account. I just reimburse her. Both went smoothly. As posted, check feedback. Check photos carefully. Read the fine print and how it is worded like a lawyer would. Do not assume anything.
February 11, 2009, 11:08 AM
The current form of Ebay is just a shadow of the former auction site. It's more like a store than an auction site and I have had increasing troubles with sellers misrepresenting their products. I rarely do business there now. It's a real shame, because Ebay used to be a great site for some great deals. I'm not too wild about their 'Paypal only' rule, either.

Bits of croissant flake to the floor as about 30 middle-aged mouths grind like ruminants. The aging and well off, decked in green argyle sweater vests with perfectly trimmed hair and the like, enjoy their afternoon foodstuffs: croque monsieurs, pain au chocolat and every type of croissant and quiche imaginable.
Above them on the flat-screen TV that hangs from the ceiling of St. Honoré Boulangerie in Northwest Portland, the Tour de France replayed over and over again last week, as it did almost every afternoon for the past three weeks, to the unresponsive masticators.
Where's the love, chubs? Two years ago, hundreds of people turned out to Tour hot spots around Portland, from the Lucky Lab to the Bike Gallery, to rally behind Lance Armstrong, the cancer-surviving Texan phenom, for what would be his record-breaking seventh Tour win.
Armstrong—pumping his skinny fists in the air, combating doping charges, dating Sheryl Crow—was a hero of sorts; a Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods or Muhammad Ali for the cycling set.
Now, Tour enthusiasts say the French bakery right off Northwest 23rd Avenue seems to be the last Portland venue featuring the 2,200-mile, 104-year-old race that ends this Sunday, July 29.
"Americans only like it when we're No. 1," says Pete Sullivan, a 47-year-old physician at OHSU who's come to watch the race most days it's played at the bakery. Only about 20 of the most dedicated racing fans turn out as early as 6 am to watch the Tour in real time. The rest of the day, after 8 am or so, the TV is ignored.
"This year there aren't any big [American] contenders," Sullivan says.
Two years after Armstrong's retirement, what the hell has happened to Tour fans in a city where one study for the city's bike master plan reports a full 84 percent of its citizens think biking is a good way to get around?
"Who says nobody cares?" asks Chris DiStefano, spokesman for Chris King, a local, well-respected bike component manufacturer that used to sponsor Armstrong's Discovery team as well as throw Tour-watching events around town. "It's just back to being people who care."
But it's Portland, Bike City USA. And we even have an Oregonian in the race—Bend's Chris Horner.
The only Oregonian racing this year, Horner—part of the Predictor-Lotto team—is 17th overall as of Tuesday, which was a rest day for the tour. That's pretty damn amazing, yet his name doesn't ring a bell with many people, including Melissa Joyvert, who was enjoying some toothsome breakfast goods outside of the bakery Monday morning.
"I don't mind [Tour watchers] being here," says Joyvert, 26. "I just don't care about the Tour myself."
Portland may be a bike town, adorned with bike boulevards, routes and lanes, but connecting bike commuters with the Tour de France is about as logical as linking the fact that you have a driver's license with watching NASCAR. Most bike riders in Portland don't race, they coast.
And we don't wear spandex.

G. Love describes the first time he heard a Delta Blues record as a musical epiphany.
He remembers it was by John Hammond, and he was about 17 at the time. Having played guitar since he was 8 years old, G. Love said until then he had only learned from the standard acoustic repertoire - The Beatles, Bob Dylan and other folk artists.
"But when I heard the Delta Blues, that's when I really realized this was what I'd been searching for - this raw sound of just one man and a guitar," said G. Love, a Philadelphia native born as Garrett Dutton. "That was, for me, the first step of just setting down this journey."

G. Love will bring his band Special Sauce to the State Theatre on Monday.
And what a journey it's been for G. Love - from that first spark of inspiration to a career spanning almost 20 years and more than a dozen releases. G. Love and his band, Special Sauce, will perform at 8:30 p.m. Monday at the State Theatre in State College. Nashville-based folk rock band The Apache Relay will open the show.
From the very beginning of his long career, G. Love said he's felt good about being able to "carry the torch" of those Delta Blues flames to a younger generation. But that first spin of the Hammond record also made him realize he could never emulate the greats exactly.
"I [was] a 17-year-old white kid from Philly trying to sound like a 60-year-old black man from Mississippi," G. Love said. "I could never be Robert Johnson or Muddy Waters. I had to be myself."
Fact Box
If you go
What: G. Love & Special Sauce, with special guests The Apache Relay
When: 8:30 p.m. Monday
Where: The State Theatre, 130 W. College Ave., State College
Details: Tickets are $29.50 and are available online at www.statetickets.org, at the theater box office or by calling 272-0606
Born from that realization was G. Love's brand of "hip-hop blues," as he calls it, in which he melds the blues guitar with hip-hop vocals and other pop and rock influences.
"Lyrically, I would write about the streets of Philadelphia and the vibrations of that city and everything I would see along those streets," he said. "Through that came my own style of music."
From solo releases like "The Hustle" and "Lemonade" to those with Special Sauce musicians Jeffery Clemens on drums, Mark Boyce on keyboards and Timo Shanko on bass, G. Love has made his hip-hop blues into a household name. But for his latest record, "Fixin' to Die," released earlier this year, G. Love said he looked straight at the blues and folk roots that first inspired him.
Article Links
"It's kind of taking it to the place in my music before I discovered putting hip-hop and blues together. When I was, you know, an aspiring blues player and singer/songwriter and folk musician, but I was a kid," he said. "This is 20 years later, and I've been on the road doing my craft 200 nights a year for the last 20 years, so I've been marinated and steeped into the lifestyle of all this music that has inspired me.
"Now I feel like, when I come back and play that kind of music, it sounds pretty authentic. ... Whereas when I was 16 and doing it, I sounded like a student of it."
"The album is also the first of G. Love's to feature covers, though songs like Bukka White's "Fixin' to Die" and the Velvet Underground's "Pale Blue Eyes" have been in his repertoire for a while.
"After you interpret or cover a song for so many years, and especially if it's an obscure song. It just kind of becomes you," G. Love said.
"Fixin' to Die" was released on acoustic surf rocker Jack Johnson's label, Brushfire Records. The two musicians have been friends for years and often tour together.
"When I met him, he was just a regular kid out of college who wrote some pretty cool songs," G. Love said. "Now he's one of the biggest rock stars.
"My whole thing with music was anybody can do it, you know? All you need to do is have a lot of love, and something to say, and put some time into getting good at your craft, and anybody can do it."
The buzz about a G. Love & Special Sauce live show signifies how much the musicians have taken their own words about honing your craft to heart. G. Love said all members of the band started off as street musicians or bar performers, so they're used to working to connect to an audience and win over a room.
"I mean, I think for everybody in the band, there's nothing more exciting than having the opportunity to get out there every night and have a chance," G. Love said. "You get out there, you have your band, you have a microphone, you've got your guitar and you've got a group of people who are there. Nowadays, they know who you are and they want to hear certain stuff.
"But whether it's the upcoming gig in State College or it's one of our first gigs we ever played, where no one knew who it was, the goal is still the same: to go out there and turn everybody on and make everybody forget about everything else except for the music for just a little bit of time."
Kellen Wenrich, fiddler and auxiliary instrumentalist for The Apache Relay, said his band shares that same goal of connecting with an audience, whether it's during a show or by talking to people after. And by joining G. Love & Special Sauce on multiple tours, Wenrich added that his fanbase has made this easy for them, despite the two bands' musical differences.
"In terms of the music itself, we don't sound anything like him and he doesn't sound anything like us," Wenrich said. "But I think what's cool is like, his crowd and his fans appear to be really devoted to him. He's been around for a long time now, and he's still doing it and still having tons of people coming out.
"His fans really like music. They're not really stuck up about anything, and they're not too cool to get into something."
By bringing high energy and a rock edge to acoustic music, Wenrich added he hopes the Apache Relay can add to the party atmosphere of any G. Love show.
"It's definitely a party, for sure," he said. "There's nothing too tame about our live show."
With an eclectic bill and the intimacy of a venue like the State Theatre, G. Love hopes to show every member of his State College audience that they're part of what makes the "Sauce" so special.
"There's nothing we like more than playing an intimate venue and really getting down and dirty with our peeps," G. Love said. "So I think that's what makes the 'sauce' so special.
"And you know what else makes the 'Sauce' so special? It's not just the [band] that are the ingredients, it's everybody in that room."

LUBBOCK - Investigators have raised more questions than given answers about human remains found in Scurry County in the vicinity of the J.B. Thomas Reservoir.
Authorities will say the decomposed body was found Saturday, March 16, among the cacti, mesquite trees and brush of a Scurry County field. A person reported finding the remains in the area about 1:10 p.m. Saturday.
But they won't say if the remains are those of a man or woman, or about what age.
Texas Rangers, Scurry County Sheriff's deputies and agents from the FBI have joined forces on this case.
Authorities continue to scour the area for other evidence and clues as to who the person was and how the body ended up in the field south of Snyder, about 80 miles from Lubbock, said Sparky Dean, a senior trooper with the Texas Department of Public Safety.
The search in that area could last several days. It's unclear if a crime occurred, but investigators are treating the area as a crime scene, he said.
"We want to do this right," he said.
Investigators have little to work with other than the remains, which will be sent eventually to a crime lab for an autopsy, Dean said.
"Decomposition has occurred — there is no flesh on the bones from what I've been told," he said.
Authorities are uncertain if further examination will take place in Lubbock or Ft. Worth. It's too soon to tell how long the remains were in the field, Dean said.
FBI spokeswoman Katherine Chaumont said an FBI evidence response team from Dallas has been in Scurry County since Sunday, March 17, collecting and processing evidence.
Both Chaumont and a spokesperson for the Scurry County Sheriff's Department referred all questions about the investigation to Dean.
Dean declined to pinpoint the location where the body was found, but said it was well off the beaten path and out of cellphone range.
Dean said investigators at the scene were "quick to point out (the body) doesn't have anything to do with the lake."
The reservoir is at 1 percent capacity but investigators do not believe remains were close enough for the low water level to reveal the body, he said.

In late May 2002, direct seeded milkweed plots were sown
using a Hege 1000 series cone planter. Due to excessive spring rains, the plots were tilled and replanted in mid
June. Emergence from the replanted plots was stunted due to dry
summer weather. Plot maintenance was done manually throughout the
summer. No flowers were produced in this first year of growth, but
stalks were removed at the end of the season.
Seed was sown at 4 different spacings to study the effects
of plant density on plant establishment and follicle production. The
between row distances used were 7.5, 15, and 30 inches as well as a
broadcast treatment. The number of seed per plot was held constant.
Seed from two local collection sites were sown to evaluate
their population vigor under cultivation.
An initial screening of 4 herbicides was conducted to
evaluate possible pre-emergence herbicides for use with milkweed direct
seeding. Four herbicides were applied, but due to dry conditions, there
was insufficient moisture to activate the chemicals.
In advance of milkweed emergence in early spring, a
preemergence herbicide was applied to all plots. This application
provided good coverage for most weed species throughout the season with
remaining weeds controlled by hand cultivation or grass herbicide
application. Plants in all plots emerged by April 24 and began
blooming in July. Many volunteer seedlings from ungerminated 2002 seed
were observed emerging but did not survive due to the preemergence herbicide
treatment. Spot treatments of
aphids and black spot were also performed as needed.
Follicles from the planting density study were harvested in mid-September
when 10% of the follicles were open. A total of 5290 follicles were
harvested from all plots providing a fresh weight of 121 pounds. Of
the nearly 790 total stalks present, 592 produced follicles. Statistical
evaluation of the various densities is on-going.

Los Angeles supporters of Israel's political parties praised or mourned the results of the Knesset election, but even the winners weren't entirely in a mood to celebrate.
Shimon Erem, a former high-ranking officer in the Israeli army, said he had planned to fly to Israel to cast his ballot for Kadima (Israel has no absentee voting). However, with pre-election predictions that the centrist party would gain around 40 seats, Erem felt his vote wouldn't be needed.
Instead, Kadima got only 29 seats out of a total of 120, a showing he attributed to "faulty strategy due to overconfidence, to taking its support for granted."
Dr. Yehuda Handelsman, a veteran leader of the local Israeli community, also backed Kadima, but had been more realistic.
"I think we did pretty well," he said. "If Ariel Sharon had remained healthy and had led the party, I think we would have gotten 35-40 seats."
As a new party, Kadima has not yet organized an American support group, but Handelsman predicted the establishment of such an organization in the next two years.
The Labor Party came in second with 19 seats and Bea Chenkin, regional executive director of Ameinu (formerly Labor Zionist Alliance), said she was satisfied.
"Considering that [former Labor Party leader] Shimon Peres jumped ship to join Kadima, we did as well as could be expected," she said. "A lot of Israelis feel that the social problems of the country have been neglected, but now these issues are coming to the fore again."
Rabbi Meyer May, president of the (Orthodox) Rabbinical Council of California, said that the three religious parties had done a good job in mobilizing their base among the generally apathetic electorate.
"Shas, National Union-Religious Party and United Torah Judaism understood that there was a lot at stake for the observant community and managed to retain their strength, May said.
Even among the Orthodox parties, there are strong ethnic and ideological differences, noted Rabbi Yitzchok Adlerstein, a Loyola Law School faculty member and an Orthodox leader.
At least one of the religious parties, most likely the less ideological United Torah Judaism, will join a Kadima-led coalition, Adlerstein predicted.
Robert Rechnitz, national vice chairman and Western regional president of American Friends of Likud, said he was "obviously disappointed" by the election results.
Likud, led by Benjamin Netanyahu, had been the largest party in the sitting Knesset, but will have only 12 seats in the next one.
Rechnitz blamed the decline on Sharon's absence at the top of the ticket and defections by many retired and Orthodox voters, who had been hurt by Netanyahu's past economic policies, as well as by what he called a "vicious" campaign against Netanyahu in the Israeli media.
The leftist Meretz Party managed only five seats, to the dismay of Dr. Isaac Berman, a national board member of Meretz USA.
"Similar to the Democratic Party here, Meretz didn't seem to have clear message and didn't make the right kind of noise," Berman said.
Views on the road ahead in the peace process varied from wait-and-see resignation to cautious optimism among several community leaders interviewed by The Journal.
Roz Rothstein, executive director of StandWithUs, a pro-Israeli advocacy group, said the situation in Israel is so fluid that it is difficult to make predictions about how events will unfold. Given the internal and external challenges Israel faces, though, she said that now is a time for unity.
"This is a time when Israelis need to pull together and work together," Rothstein said. "You have the potential polarization of the Israeli society on the left and right on the inside and the Hamas threat from the outside.
A more upbeat assessment came from Mark LeVine, associate professor of Middle Eastern history at UC Irvine. He said that despite Olmert's vow to draw Israel's final borders unilaterally, a negotiated settlement could eventually emerge. Hamas, he said, despite its refusal to recognize Israel, is not opposed to cutting a deal. And because of its standing in the Arab street, the group has the credentials to do so.
"Assuming Hamas doesn't engage in too much violence either against military targets or terrorism against civilians, I would assume that in the next couple years there's going to be a repeat of the negotiations you had at Camp David in 2000 and in Taba," said LeVine, who wrote the 2005 book, "Why They Don't Hate Us: Lifting the Veil on the Axis of Evil" (Oneworld). "They're probably going to be using pretty much the same maps."
A local Muslim leader weighed in with similarly cautious optimism.
"There's a recognition by the bulk of the Israeli population that the Greater Israel Project is over," said Nayyer Ali, past chair of the Muslim Pubic Affairs Council. "Unlike the mood in Israel in 2000 and before, we now have a consensus among Israelis that the end solution is a Palestinian state."
Ali added that the rise of the terorrist Hamas group on the Palestinian side also should not be viewed as a fatal impediment to peace. Just as the Israeli left cannot make peace without the support of more conservative Israeli parties, Ali said, Palestinian leaders, absent Hamas, also could not make a binding agreement. Despite its vow never to recognize Israel, "like other ideological parties, I think Hamas will have to deal with reality now that it's in power," Ali said.
But Sabiah Khan, spokeswoman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, Southern California chapter, said she sees nothing but a stalemate ahead in at least the short term: Israel, on the one side, refuses to negotiate until Hamas renounces terrorism and recognizes its right to exist. The new Palestinian government, on the other hand, won't engage Israel until the Jewish state ends its "occupation," recognizes the national rights of the Palestinian people and renounces terror.
"Basically, we have two groups saying the same thing, that they're not going to talk to each other [until the other side does something that it isn't willing to do], Khan said. "Outside intervention from the U.S., Europe, the United Nations or Arab governments is needed."
Some or all of those parties, she said, could break the impasse by encouraging a negotiated settlement based on international law and existing U.N. resolutions.
Regardless of last week's voting results, the local Israeli consulate was in campaign party mode on Election Day. Consul General Ehud Danoch and his staff festooned the consulate's Jerusalem Hall with small Israeli flags, and had spread out a generous supply of pita, hummus, techinah and cookies for more than 100 guests who jammed together to watch the results of the first exit polls.
Danoch drew on his own political background for a running commentary on the merging trends and shared the general astonishment at the success of the Pensioners Party, which came out of nowhere to gain seven seats.

Irma Elizabeth Ramirez became a new American citizen Oct. 17. Quite naturally, she was looking forward to voting in the presidential election.
A few days ago, she attended a rally for first-time voters. Then, accompanied by her husband, Domingo, she went to cast an early ballot.
But it didn't happen. Poll workers told her that since she hadn't received her voter's registration card in the mail, she couldn't participate in the election.
It was a sorry end to what had been such a promising day.
Before the voting fiasco, Ramirez told me how excited she was to be a citizen and to be able to carry out her civic duty in the country she loved. At 54, she's a Middle Laner, and she had been so nervous about taking the citizenship test that she studied for six months. The night before the test, she took a tape recording of the test review to bed and listened to it all night. Her fist official act as a citizen, she thought, should be and would be voting.
I'm going to check on this further tomorrow. I hope there's a step in the process that she didn't understand, that this is all a misunderstanding, that Tuesday the petite housekeeper can realize her dream.
Before she was turned away, she had said to me, "I feel so excited. I feel BIG."

I think the first step is for you to determine why _you_ want to buy a
PDA. From that you can derive a list of functions with _your_
priorities. You should also decide how well a PDA must perform each of
those functions. For example, someone's top priority might be a
calendar, and it would only be useful if they could carry it in a
shirt pocket and if it were available in less than 2 seconds. Someone
else might insist on a combination phone and PDA that can fit in a
briefcase and costs less than $200 US.
I admit to a heavy bias towards _printed_ material, especially when
I'm new to a field. So I recommend buying a related magazine or two

also get some leads on web sites.

With just 3 crowns and 1 root canal she saved enough to pay for her entire holiday and still had money left over compared to the cost in Edmonton (Canada). She used a dental referral service that helps Canadians find good, reliable dentists in Mexico. She was very happy as they don't charge for the service.

You didn't know that gnome apps run just fine in KDE?
When you install an app it pulls the dependencies and it's just fine.
I have DVD:RIP installed and working fine. I have the normal repos:
The 10.3 distribution ones and the normal packman
Just use the ones YaST suggests.

There is little new or exciting in
this monograph. Indeed this reviewer cringes at the use of the word
"auricle" throughout the text. The
author, however, brings together
under one cover much of the information and literature on atrial activity, and the sole merit of the book
rests on this point. The promises (on
the dust cover) of more precise
analysis from improvements in instrumentation, of clarification of the
dextrocardias, and of a revision of
the principle atrial arrhythmias are
left unfulfilled.
The original contributions from
the authors' material constitute small
collections of cases from which broad
conclusions do not seem warranted.
This is especially apparent in the
section relating tall peaked P waves
of right atrial configuration to concomitant desaturation. While a relationship may exist, it appears
overtly fortuitous and hardly clarified by the data cited in the
monograph. Similar lack of clarity
is frequent in other portions

What materials did you use? Blue cotton fabric Red gabardine fabric Pellon interfacing Gutterman thread Superman logo cut off a pajama top
What are you most proud of? Everything. It turned out so well. I tried techniques I had never used before. Like flat felled seams. I tired overcast seams for the first time. I am usually in too much of a hurry to do things like this. This time I felt I had all the time in the world since I knew he would be away for at least a week. I even made a little tag for the collar. At first i had cut out the binding in blue, but it seemed too boring so I went back and found some bright red like Superman's cape. My husband (a big Superman fan, still) tells me there is a panel of Superman relaxing in his robe and it looks just like the one I made. Who knew?
Sounds like you put a lot of love into this project.

How far can Callum Smith go?
I hadnt really seen him until the Froch PPV, he looked good but was clearly fighting sub par opponent. Then i heard him getting hype on sky so decided to look for more fights and my god this kid can fight!
Obviously he is a pre 10 fight prospect so i cant go crazy but he has some great tools, he's 6'4, good technique, good power, calm, relaxed, excellent punch selection, balanced etc there's so much to like about this guy.
His stoppage of Ruslans Pojonisevs is very impressive considering who had failed to stop him before.
Possibly could have overtaken Kal Yafai as my favourite domestic under 10 fight prospect
So how far do you think he can go?

I saw 2 or 3 of his earlier fights & he looked decent.
He's obviously going to have learnt from his brothers & father - but we won't know if he has the toughness or will until he steps up.
But I do think he'll outgrow SM & maybe even Light Heavy.

Nothing special, early days so yet to see him take shots on the chin and how good his power really is. But he doesn't show anything to get too excited about, think he'll definitely go further than his brothers.

I also think he will outgrow SMW, but if not then all the better as his height would be a huge asset to him.
Chin will be tested in time obviously, but im going to stick my neck out and say his power is going to carry through a good few levels, especially his left hook which he times brilliantly and throws well. If he has to move up in weight then all bets are off for that prediction though
We'll see i suppose, i think i see something in him. I prefer him to Ogogo i know that much...

He looks like a good prospect, better than his brothers which they acknowledge. I quite like him and can see him going quite far, doubt he makes it to world title level but hopefully he can prove me wrong! I like his power

Been a bit more impressed by Buglioni....but early days for both Callum and Frank. It would be good to see these two fight for the Lonsdale in late 2014 or early 2015 and both around the 16-0 mark.

He looks good now but the guy he fought on the Froch card was way below par, he was knocked down and stunned by a jab which the commentators never saw, the following right hand missed.
But he looks good. He has to get his chin checked.
Remember a couple of years ago most of the boxing writers, especially boxing news were claiming steven smith is the best prospect in Britain.

I hope he's getting good sparring because his fights arent lasting long! 5 first round stoppages in a row
Next fight against Patrick Mendy who lives down my way i believe. Mendy is a tough fighter who has been matched rough from a young age. Should be a good test.
Amazing to hear in post fight interview Smith reckons he's closer to making Middleweight than he is to moving up to Light Heavy. Madness considering how tall the fella is!

I think Callum's a good prospect, I've seen him spar and know a few people who have sparred with him, the kid has legit power plus he has a great frame for when he eventually moves up in weight.
How far can he go? That's a totally different question to answer. He is definitely going to get some honours at the British and European levels, which is a great achievement in itself. Can he be world class? I'm not sure. His chin will have to be tested and his stamina in the later rounds against tough, strong, championship material fighters. I hope he does good!

IRDF Toasts to 50 Years of Supporting FSILG Vitality
Alumni, staff and students gathered in Walker Memorial Hall Saturday evening on April 26 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Independent Residence Development Fund.
The IRDF's steady stream of support has provided grants, loans and financial stability for capital and ongoing projects for MIT's Fraternities, Sororities and Independent Living Groups (FSILGs) since 1964.
"No other university has a fund like ours," said Lisa Tatterson '99, who chaired the evening's celebration committee. "The function of this fund is to support the FSILG community and keep it vital." Monetary support from the IRDF has yielded results far beyond original expectations, since its launch 50 years ago. "Demand for the IRDF loans is at an all-time peak," said Dave Latham '61, a member of the IRDF Board of Allocation for the last 25 years.
The vision for the IRDF came from a small cohort of alumni enthusiasts. Present in Cambridge for the fanfare and dinner was one of the IRDF's four founders, D. Reid Weedon '41, who received a standing ovation. All MIT FSILGs that have their own houses have and continue to take advantage of the generous IRDF grant and loan offerings, which are funded by donations from alumni and FSILG supporters.
Most recently, IRDF financing allowed the brothers of Phi Beta Epsilon to design and complete a truly breathtaking renovation of the PBE fraternity house on Memorial Drive. "We could not have accomplished this massive project without help from the IRDF. We used the money for liquidity purposes, as collecting alumni pledges can take quite a long time," said Steve Carhart '70, President of the PBE Corporation. Now, the students inhabiting the brand new facility are reveling in its payoff. "The new face to our house has brought rejuvenation to our chapter, and symbolized the power of change possible at MIT," said PBE Student President Rishi Tirumala '14. And PBE isn't the only FSILG taking advantage of tax deductible loans and varying grant opportunities.
"The Sigma Chi renovation could never have happened without the IRDF's guidance," said Karl Buttner '87. "This event is eye opening for undergraduates, helping them realize what the fund actually is and how imperative it continues to be for sustaining our way of student life."
Among the crowd were many student FSILG leaders, most of whom gained an even deeper understanding of the importance of the IRDF to their community. "Tonight is more than just about eating and talking, we are creating awareness for this amazing gift at MIT," remarked Carhart. Presidents of the Interfraterniy Council and Panhellenic Association were also on-site, helping to offer a guiding perspective.
"The IRDF means that the FSILG community is alive," said IFC President Haldun Anil '15. "Of course we all strive to have magnificent buildings and state of the art facilities, but the most telling quality of the IRDF is that it allows us to share ideas, resources and … well, be inter-fraternal with one another."

Although largely unknown, the play "The Kingdom of God" by Martina Sierra will always be cherished by those who care about the Paper Mill Playhouse.
On Nov. 14, 1938, a theater opened in Millburn with that minor Broadway hit from the 1928-29 season. But hundreds of productions and one new theater have followed.
Paper Mill is getting a jump on its 70th anniversary by holding a gala benefit at the end of the month. Two-time Tony winner Christine Ebersole, who played the title role in "Mame" at the playhouse, will be the star performer. But she may well be upstaged by two men who intend to do a soft-shoe dance: former governors Brendan Byrne and Tom Kean.
The evening includes a cocktail reception, silent auction, dinner and entertainment.
The Paper Mill Playhouse 70th Anniversary Gala takes place on Saturday, May 31 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Hilton Short Hills, 41 John F. Kennedy Parkway, Millburn. Tickets are $1,250. Call (973) 379-3636, ext. 2236.

on August 12, 2013 - 12:01 AM
, updated August 12, 2013 at 6:17 AM
WASHINGTON – Among those businesses that suffered barely a scratch in the Great Recession and this continuing slump is the college industry, sis-boom-bah!
Depending on which survey one sees, tuitions and fees soared 27 percent over inflation in the last five years, or four and a half times inflation since 1980, or just plain 104 percent in the last decade.
In response, families struggling with flattened incomes got crocodile tears from Congress and President Obama. The president and the members weeks ago slunk away from the student loan crisis, as they have from the universities' tuition grabs.
The student loan deal returned current interest rates to a hefty 3.9 percent, but that will grow as the cost of government borrowing surely swells. Obama in his 2012 annual message warned colleges they would face cuts in federal funding if they failed to curb student costs.
A year and a half later, there is no such bill on the calendar and the White House has offered nothing. So the tuition increases go on. Virginia's recent announcement was cute. It announced a 5.1 percent increase for existing students, but a 14 percent increase for new students at the state's elite schools, such as the College of William and Mary.
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, with the state's economy still in irons two years ago, supported the five-year program raising tuition from 5 percent to 8 percent a year at the state's four-year units. A radical tax increase on working families.
Why do almost all universities stick the folks in this way? Simply, because they can. Just like the military-industrial complex, the health insurance trade, and the financial houses, the college business spends obscene amounts lobbying this town and giving money to candidates.
The big university cash lavished on Capitol Hill shields high-salaried campus executives and their procurement contracts from you, the forgotten citizen.
Johns Hopkins University, a so-called "private" institution, spent $800,000 lobbying Congress and the administration and donated $500,000 to federal candidates last year. A pretty good investment for the $1.9 billion in federal research grants it got in 2011, according to the watchdog Center for Responsive Politics.
"Private" Stanford University donated $2.4 million to candidates in 2012, according to the CRP, in exchange for $656 million in federal cash in 2011.
All major institutions get lots of federal green. If they don't respond with campaign cash, then they let a member of Congress or senator make a commencement speech, or confer an honorary degree. Within three years of his winning a seat on the Senate Appropriations Committee, Alfonse D'Amato, R-Long Island, exacted doctoral hoods from five universities in his home state.
For the largest universities, the game takes on the patina of an elegant racket. In the depths of the recession in 2009, then Brown University President Ruth Simmons got a 5.5 percent raise from her pay of $818,000 along with $300,000 for sitting on the Goldman Sachs board. Ohio State's recently retired president, Gordon Gee, is angling for millions in severance in addition to his $2 million a year pay.
Congress and the president can very easily put a stop to this scheme. There are plenty of programs that tie incentives to federal aid. Medicaid is one. States get a federal bonus if they curb billboards on interstate highways.
The government gives universities about $33 billion a year for research, which is nearly two-thirds of all the research money universities get. Linking these grants to tuition restraint is not rocket science. Two of the biggest donors, the Defense Department and the Science Foundation, work for Obama. He likes executive orders. Go ahead and write some.

Re: Sumner memorials
Hi RememberThem,
I'm happy to maintain the memorials you're referring to. I am not related, just to let you know, so you may be able to locate a relative? Either way, I'd be happy to take care of them and transfer to family in the future.
Annie :)

Christianna Martha Davis Duty
Christianna was my 3rd great grandmother. Her daughter Phoebe was my great-great grandmother. Regarding your suggestion that her son John Duty works at a 'stove' factory, if you look closely at the original 1880 census and compare the letter 'o' to other nearby words you can easily see that it is actually an 'a'. John worked at a barrel stave factory.

RE: Agnes Nichol (Dtr)
& Elizabeth Nicholson Cunningham (Mother)
It all started for me in my William Cousin/Elizabeth Adamson Cousin family history created by Alma Cousin, dtr of David Cousin, their son, and my gt grandfather.
I have a PDF copy of 'True Grit: The Elizabeth Cunningham Story' that appears to be well researched by Dale Adams, of Park City, Utah that talks a lot about Agnes Nicol being the dtr of Elizabeth.
I can email a copy to you if you would like. You may reply to me at firstname.lastname@example.com as I can't do an attachment from this site.
Thank you for your work in giving so many a better understanding of their heritage. gloria

RE: Joseph Jillson and Betsey King
Thank you so much for the lead to the photo. It looks familiar and I added it to my ancestry.com tree. This Sisson lady may have gotten the photo from our Aunt Sandra (Jillson) who has been researching the family for years. She has kindly agreed to do the DNA which will be two generations closer than my husband. We have been frustrated that we can not find the parents of Joseph Jillson etc. Kathy J.

RE: Joseph and Betsey Jillson
Thank you for your help. I do not think the Joseph Jillson you noted in Find A Grave is our missing one but I will research further.
Search.org refers to the correct Joseph Jillson but does not offer any additional information, like his birth, death or parents.
Joseph Jillson children located so far: Marie, George, Leonard, Daniel, Alden and Elizabeth. Joseph and Betsey (King) Jillson are not found in the 1850 Census. Alden and Leonard were found in other households of non-relatives. Something like death and/or illness of Joseph or Betsey might explain why.
Alden is the branch from which my husband descends.
Our hopes now are with Ancestry DNA.

Clarine McCormick Clough
Hi! I received your message suggesting an addition to Clarine's bio of her parents' information. I just wanted to let you know that I did a little research and found that her mother does have a Find A Grave memorial and I added a link to Clarine's page. Her father does not. I found both parents' death certificates on the Missouri Digital Heritage site which solidifies that I found the correct people. Clarine's page is updated with the information as I know it, if you would like to see it. Thanks!

Phosphate Australia said better conditions in the agrichemicals sector has provided an opportunity for the company to formalise partnering discussions for Highland Plains Rock Phosphate Project in the Northern Territory
Phosphate Australia Ltd (ASX:POZ) is focused on phosphate in the Northern Territory, and also has gold, nickel, copper interests in Western Australia.
Phosphate Australia said better conditions in the agrichemicals sector has provided an opportunity for the company to formalise partnering discussions for Highland Plains Rock Phosphate Project in the Northern Territory
The dramatic reduction in transport costs for product movement from the conceptual mine site to the potential barging facility has enabled POZ to pursue an export operation of up to 3 mtpa.
Andrew James said POZ is in a strong financial position to progress the project through near-term studies, toward developing "Australia's lowest operating cost, new phosphate mining operation."
The probability is increasing because of assay results received that a phosphate resource upgrade will occur in October. As well as the odds, for a near term starter mine at at Highland Plains due to high grade, near surface mineralisation.

No documents available.
The Company has phosphate exploration projects at three different stages of maturity - advanced, intermediate and exploration stage.
Advanced Stage: Highland Plains Phosphate Project
At the most advanced stage is the Company's 100% owned Highland Plains Project Highland Plains Phosphate Project in the Northern Territory of Australia . There is a JORC code compliant phosphate resource at Highland Plains All quoted resource numbers were calculated by Independent Resource Consultants, Cube Consulting Pty Ltd.
1.1 Western Mine Target Zone: A higher grade, shallower area targeting an initial, low capex, start up mining operation:
Inferred Resource of 7 million tonnes at 23% P2O5 with a lower cut off of 20% P2O5.
The cut off grade at 20% P2O5 is a comparatively high grade and gives the potential for better project economics.
The aim of the Companies Phase 1 work has been to clearly identify the area at Highland Plains where a commercial phosphate mining operation could be initiated. This area has shallower mineralisation, with a lower strip ratio anticipated to enable the building of a low capex 'starter mine'.
Mineralisation begins at the western edge of the western area almost at surface, and gently dips to the east. Drilling has shown some very high grades (including 5m at 30.5% P2O5 from 2m in hole HAC001) in this western area. This is the obvious place to begin mining and enables POZ to target an operation that requires a low capex start up cost.
1.2 Total Resource at Highland Plains:
Inferred Resource of 56 million tonnes at 16% P2O5 with a lower cut off of 10% P2O5.
This resource confirms that Highland Plains is indeed a large and persistent mineralised phosphate body. These numbers are based upon the limited amounts of drilling to date over a large area.
The Board of POZ believe these resources have the potential to be significantly improved (particularly the higher grade shallow areas) with further drilling programs.

Intermediate Stage: Alexandria, Alroy and Buchanan Dam Phosphate Prospects
Further areas of known historical phosphate mineralisation in drill holes also occur on the Company's tenements at Alexandria, Alroy and Buchanan Dam. Previous drill intersections include 6.1m @ 25.0% P2O5 from 12.2m (Buchanan Dam), 6.1m @ 15.6% P2O5 from 48.8m (Alexandria) and 4.6m @ 15.5% P2O5 from 17.4m (Alroy).
These documented historical occurrences were reported with substantial bulk mineralisation estimates which would require far more drilling to meet today's reporting standards.
The Company intends to conduct follow up drilling to define the known phosphate mineralisation described above and explore for extensions to that mineralisation.

Exploration Stage: Georgina Basin Regional Phosphate Exploration
Phosphate Australia Limited is in a very strong position to make new greenfields phosphate discoveries. Some of the most prospective ground in the Northern Territory is held by the Company. There are three main areas of interest (see figure):
1. Along strike from Highland Plains following the Proterozoic unconformity.
2. North of Highland Plains targeting Cambrian phosphate inliers within the Proterozoic.
3. Radiometric anomalies within the Georgina Basin itself.

Iron Project
The Company's tenements include areas that have known iron occurrences and are prospective for Clinton style oolitic iron mineralisation.
Recent geological mapping by the Northern Territory Geological Survey ("NTGS") has identified outcrop and sub-crop of iron-bearing formations on the Company's tenements that lie within the South Nicholson Group. NTGS confirmed that one of these formations is equivalent to the host unit for the Constance Range iron ore deposits that lie just over the border in Queensland. The style of mineralisation has been described as Clinton type oolitic ironstones.
Iron ore exploration was conducted in the Constance Range area in Queensland in the early 1960s. Results for this exploration are based upon historical data that was prepared before the introduction of the JORC Code and as such is not able to be included in this Prospectus.
Since the discontinuation of the Constance Range iron ore project in the early 1960s, iron ore industry economics have changed considerably. The massive stratiform oolitic ironstones for which the Company's South Nicholson Basin tenements are prospective and has known occurrences, make it an excellent iron ore exploration target.
The Company's tenements in the South Nicholson Basin are under explored for iron ore and have considerable potential to convert known iron occurrences into commercial tonnages and grades. From recent mapping and site visits the Company has defined target areas for follow up.
It is the intention of the Company to follow up these targets with field mapping and sampling.

Uranium Project
The Company's tenements in the South Nicholson Basin region are prospective for uranium. The rocks here are from Lower to Upper-Proterozoic in age and are being targeted for unconformity type uranium deposits. The "hot" (uranium rich) Murphy Inlier granite adjoins the northern part of the tenement area which could potentially act as a source for uranium rich fluids.
There are numerous airborne uranium radiometric anomalies on the Company's tenements that are prospective for uranium mineralisation; these anomalies warrant ground follow up.
The Company intends to field map and sample the uranium radiometric anomalies and associated structures. A hand held scintillometer will be used whilst mapping to assist with identifying any areas of outcropping uranium mineralisation or account for the radiometric anomalies. The results from mapping and sampling programs would provide orientation data for follow up geophysics surveys and drilling as required.
