Though we live on the surface of the Earth, we actually live at the bottom of an ocean of air. Dynamic layers of air interact with the Earth's surface and the Sun's energy to produce the phenomenon of weather. The atmosphere is classified into layers based upon the characteristics each layer exhibits. Most weather occurs in the troposphere and most flying occurs in the troposphere and stratosphere. The atmosphere is comprised of air. Air is a mixture of gases. It is about 80 percent nitrogen and 20 percent oxygen. Water vapor and many other gases constitute the remainder of the gas mixture.
Air is made up of matter and has weight. Since air is gaseous, it is compressible. This means that the air pressure nearer the surface of the Earth is greater than the air pressure in the stratosphere. Air exerts pressure on everyone and everything. At the Earth's surface the pressure is 14.7 pounds per square inch. That does not sound like much, but it means the air pressure per square foot is 2116.8 pounds. Increase the air pressure and the air's density is increased. Because of air's compressibility flight conditions will vary depending upon the altitude. This is due to the air density. More molecules for a given volume of air will generate greater lift with less thrust. Fewer molecules for a given volume of air will require greater thrust to generate the same lift. Air density decreases with an increase in altitude and this affects people physiologically. Decrease the air pressure and the oxygen pressure is also decreased.
The rate at which our lungs absorb oxygen depends on the partial pressure exerted by the amount of oxygen in the air. Since our atmosphere is about 1/5 oxygen, the oxygen pressure at any given altitude will be about 1/5. Under normal conditions our lungs function under 3 pounds per square inch of oxygen pressure. As an airplane climbs higher into the troposphere, it will encounter less oxygen for a given volume of air. Without supplemental oxygen the people on board such a flight will suffer from hypoxia, a deficiency in oxygen. The symptoms of hypoxia are a feeling of acute exhaustion with an immediate impairment in vision and judgment resulting in unconsciousness and death if the proper amount of oxygen is not soon administered. Prolonged flights at or above 10,000 feet and even short flights above 12,000 should use auxiliary oxygen.
The ocean of air we live in can be calm, delightfully warm and pleasant or it can be turbulent and rainy like a thunderstorm, hurricane or tornado. The air temperature varies from below -100 Celsius to above 1500 Celsius (-150 Fahrenheit to 2700 Fahrenheit). These variations are caused by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun's energy as well as how the Earth reacts to this energy. The characteristics of a substance (for example water or land) will affect the amount of heat absorbed or released by that substance. Let's say we have a land surface and water surface of equal temperature and we apply an equal amount of heat to each. The land surface will become hotter at a much faster rate than the water surface. The opposite is true when both substances release the same amount of heat. Under equal heat loss the land will become colder at a faster rate than the water.
Click on the sun button below for a demo of land vs. water and heat absorption.
The differences in the amount of solar energy received by the various regions of the Earth throughout a day or year cause temperature variations that power our dynamic atmosphere. There are 5 temperature variations that need to be considered by pilots whenever planning a flight:
- diurnal variation
- seasonal variation
- latitudinal variation
- topographical variation
- altitude variation
Diurnal variation is the change in air temperature that occurs from day to night brought about by the Earth's rotation. A unique exchange takes place on the Earth's surface in regards to solar and terrestrial (from or on Earth) radiation. The sun gives off energy to the Earth in the form of solar radiation. Fifty-five percent of the solar radiation received by the Earth and its atmosphere is reflected while the remaining 45% is absorbed and converted into heat. The Earth itself gives off radiation that is referred to as terrestrial radiation. The exchange is worldwide and maintains a delicate balance in the Earth's atmospheric temperature.
That is, the average amount of heat gained through solar radiation is roughly equal to the amount of heat lost through terrestrial radiation. This unique exchange keeps the Earth's atmosphere from becoming progressively hotter or colder. During the day, terrestrial radiation is exceeded by the solar radiation and the Earth's surface becomes warmer. At night, the part of the Earth facing away from the sun receives no solar radiation. Despite the continuance of terrestrial radiation, the Earth's surface cools. The cooling of the Earth's surface continues until about 1 hour after sunrise. Shortly after sunrise, the solar radiation of the next day exceeds that of the terrestrial radiation, and the temperature increases. The continued cooling after sunrise can cause the formation of fog shortly after the sun is above the horizon. Pilots need to keep this in mind when planning flights with an early morning departure. Such morning ground fog can delay the departure time due to limited visibility.
Seasonal variation occurs due to the Earth's approximate 23.50 degree tilt and its position relative to the sun during its revolution. The hemisphere that receives more direct rays of sunlight will have warmer temperatures than the opposite hemisphere at that same time of year. Knowing the average daily temperature of a region from which or to which you are flying will assist in your flight planning calculations.
Along with the seasonal variations are the latitudinal variations. The shape of the Earth directly affects the amount of solar radiation received during certain segments of its revolution around the sun. Equatorial regions receive more direct rays of the sun, thus more solar radiation. Moving farther south or north of the equator will change the angle at which the rays strike the Earth, thus decreasing the amount of solar radiation received at that latitude.
Remembering that water absorbs and radiates energy with temperature changes that are less than land, a pilot must look closely at the terrain over which the flight will progress, especially if flying at lower altitudes. The topographical variations are influenced also by diurnal and seasonal variations and can cause a change in wind direction or wind strength. In general, the partial list below lists some of the general topographical variations:
- Large, deep bodies of water minimize temperature changes while large continents incur greater temperature changes;
- Wet soil (marshes, swamps) minimize temperature changes nearly as much as water bodies;
- Areas of thick vegetation tend to ensure against abrupt temperature changes because it insulates against heat transfer between the ground and the atmosphere;
- The greatest temperature changes occur over areas of arid, barren surfaces (rocky or sandy deserts);
- Abrupt temperature changes occur along lakes and shorelines;
- Most islands experience fairly constant temperatures.
A change in air temperature can cause a change in air density. Air density changes will affect the performance of an aircraft. Without changing the thrust force, decreasing air density will lead to fewer molecules in the air. This will decrease the lift force as fewer molecules are available to generate lift. Increasing the amount of molecules in the air will increase lift at the same given rate of speed. A change in air temperature will also create local winds, which if not accounted for in the flight calculations will push a flight off course.
Altitudinal variations need to also be monitored by the pilot before and during flight. Normally in the troposphere temperature decreases as the altitude increases. This is known as the lapse rate. The average temperature decrease (or average lapse rate) in the troposphere is usually given as 2.0 Celsius per 1,000 feet. Remember this is just an average! There are times when the temperature actually increases with height. This increase in temperature with an increase in altitude is known as an inversion. That is, the lapse rate is inverted or moves opposite to what is expected. Inversions can occur at any altitude if conditions are conducive to their development. See the two examples below for a description of such conditions.
Ground-based inversion: occurs near the ground on cold, clear nights. Since the ground radiates and cools much faster than the air above it, air in contact to the ground becomes cold while just a few hundred feet above it that temperature has changed very little. This can trap fog or smoke close to the ground and decrease visibility.
Inversion aloft: Occurs a little higher in the atmosphere than ground-based inversions. A current of warm air overruns a large patch of cold air trapping it next to the Earth's surface. If rain clouds in the warm air current drop rain, it will pass through the colder air and freeze. This can develop into icing on an aircraft's wings drastically reducing the aircraft's lift force.
Temperature affects an aircraft's performance and is perhaps most crucial when making altimetry readings. The altimeter is basically an aneroid barometer that is graduated to use increments of height. The standard used for graduating the altimeter is that of standard atmosphere. Standard atmosphere was developed by engineers and meteorologists who needed a fixed standard with which they could reference for aircraft performance and weather, respectively. They arrived at standard atmosphere by averaging conditions throughout the atmosphere for all latitudes, seasons and altitudes. This gave them specific sea-level temperature, pressure and rates of change of temperature and pressure with height. In this hypothetical atmosphere, pressure falls at a fixed rate upward through the atmosphere unlike the actual atmosphere. Think of the standard atmosphere as a measuring stick to which pilots compare their altitude based upon other factors (density, pressure and temperature).
So, why is a standard atmosphere necessary? The altimeter measures altitude (that is vertical distance above a level plane, such as sea level), so at any time a pilot should know the aircraft's distance from sea level, right? The airplane's altimeter measures the atmospheric pressure at flight level. In other words it is measuring the weight of the air pressing down on it from above. What the altimeter cannot measure is the air density and the air temperature, both of which affect the flight characteristics of the aircraft. An airplane performs differently in different temperature and air density situations. By establishing a standard atmosphere, pilots can compare their airplanes performance under certain conditions to this standard. Pilots can then make adjustments accordingly to their instruments and flight plan.
Look at the bar graph below for an example of how temperature affects the reading of true altitude. According to standard atmosphere an airplane flies at 10,000 feet given a standard sea level pressure of 29.92 inches of mercury or 1013.2 millibars. Let's take 3 aircraft, each flying atop a measurable column of air. The air pressure at the top and bottom of each column of air is equal. Now let's change the temperature of the columns making one warmer than the standard and the other column colder than the standard. When the air is warmer than the standard, the altimeter reads lower than the airplane's true altitude. When the air is colder than the standard, the altimeter reads higher than the airplane's true altitude.
According to standard atmosphere, an airplane flies at 3,000 feet given a standard sea level pressure of 29.92 inches of mercury or 1013.2 millibars. Click the links above to see the relationship.
To account for the effects of pressure, density and temperature on an aircraft's altitude, pilots look at more than one kind of altitude reading. They actually keep track of 5 different altitudes.
Pilots need to bear in mind 5 different types of altitude:
- true altitude: actual aircraft's height above sea level usually expressed as MSL (mean sea level); all elevations on aeronautical charts are expressed in terms of true altitude
- absolute altitude: the height of an aircraft above the terrain over which it is flying
- indicated altitude: after setting the altimeter at the current altimeter setting this is the uncorrected altitude read directly from that altimeter
- pressure altitude: after adjusting the altimeter's setting to 29.92 mb, this is the altimeter reading that corresponds to the altitude in the standard atmosphere where the pressure is the same as you are; a change of one inch in the pressure setting will change the altimeter reading by 1,000 feet
- density altitude: the pressure altitude corrected for temperature variations (this is most important to takeoff and climb performance of an aircraft)
Prior to takeoff, each pilot sets the aircraft's altimeter with the correct altimeter setting of the airport from which the pilot will depart. This setting is given by a controller in the local control tower who also gives the indicated altitude. Along the route the pilot continues to adjust the barometric altimeter setting according to radio reports or controllers contacted en route. From this setting and other data the 5 different altitude readings are derived.
So how do temperature, pressure and density affect an aircraft and its performance?
The effects of temperature changes on an aircraft's altitude:
Pilots can determine the correct pressure altitude from the on-board altimeter by setting the altimeter at the standard altitude reading of 29.92 inches (of mercury at sea level). The altimeter will then indicate the pressure altitude at which the aircraft is flying.
The effects of pressure changes on an aircraft's altitude.
Density altitude is perhaps the most critical to an airplane's performance during takeoff and landing. Results can be disastrous if the density altitude is incorrectly computed. Density altitude is a comparison between the air density at your aircraft's current altitude to the standard atmosphere where the air density is the same. Temperature, pressure and humidity determine air density. Pilots differentiate between high-density altitude and low-density altitude in terms of the performance of an airplane. Let's say that at an airplane's present flight location the day is hot. That means that the air has become thinner (fewer molecules in the air). When that hot location is compared to the standard atmosphere its density is the same as if the aircraft were located at a much higher altitude. That means that the airplane at its current location will act as if it is flying through air that is at a higher altitude. That means the airplane is flying in high-density altitude conditions.
Now let's say that the present aircraft location is in very cold air. The air has now become heavier than before (more molecules in the air). When that cold location is compared to the standard atmosphere its density is the same as if the aircraft were located at a much lower altitude. That means that the airplane at its current flight location will act as if it is flying through air that is at a lower altitude or low-density altitude conditions. It is crucial for a pilot to know the density altitude of the airport at which takeoff and landings are planned. The pilot also needs to know the runway's length and the height of structures, trees and land immediately following the runway, so as to ascertain clearance at the climb rate. Knowing the performance specifications of one's airplane is also important. After computing all the necessary altitudes, the pilot needs to know if the airplane can perform safely under all these conditions.
Here are some of the effects of density changes on an aircraft's performance:
Flight Conditions
Altitude Conditions
Aircraft performance
High elevations, low atmospheric pressure, high temperatures, high humidity,
High density altitude conditions
Reduction in aircraft performance
- Engine taking in less air so power is reduced;
Lower elevations, high atmospheric pressure, low temperatures, and low humidity are more indicative of low density altitude
Low-density altitude conditions
Increase in aircraft performance
- Greater thrust than normal due to
a greater number of molecules in the air with which propellers and
jet engines can interact;

Q. When will the lights on the new Bowman Road overpass go on? And when will all the cones be gone? The article in the Dec. 12 paper says that the boulevard is now officially open, so I was so looking forward to driving on the overpass and having it be all lit up. I understand that the cones still need to be in place at some locations because of additional work, but again, I expected lots of them to be gone if it is officially open. - Gretchen Kaylor, Mount Pleasant
A. "The lights will be activated once all of them are installed. SCE&G is responsible for the installation of the lights, and they are approximately 70 to 75 percent complete. As you may have noticed many of the barrels have been removed and they will continue to disappear once it is safe to do so. From time to time in the future it will be necessary for the contractor to close lanes of traffic for the protection of the work crews." - J. E. (Ed) Barbee, CPPB, Transportation Construction Liaison Officer
Q. Why is there no stop light at the intersection of Frontage Road and Shellmore Boulevard? This intersection is as busy and dangerous as the Frontage Road intersections with Bowman and Anna Knapp. - Debbie Brown
A. "During project development for the Johnnie Dodds Boulevard improvements, signal warrant analyses indicated the intersection did not meet the required threshold values for signalization." - Brad Morrison, Director of Transportation, Town of Mount Pleasant
Q. When going from Rifle Range Road, on Bowman Road to any business between Bowman and Anna Knapp on the Crickentree Village side, one must cross Johnny Dodds Boulevard twice.
There is no left turn on the frontage road from Bowman - though we have checked it and there are always enough gaps to do it easily. Any chance of a rethink on that one? - Jane Halford, Mount Pleasant
A. "There were several studies done prior to making the decision to prohibit left turns from Bowman Road onto the frontage road.
The left turn from Bowman Road into the frontage road (Crickentree Village side) was eliminated for safety reasons due to the proximity of the frontage road to the exit ramp from Johnnie Dodds Boulevard and the addition of another traffic lane.
The safest route for access to businesses on the frontage road from Bowman Road will be to proceed to the traffic signal at Hospital Drive, turn left onto the frontage road and proceed to the new traffic signal at Anna Knapp, turn left and proceed on Anna Knapp across Johnnie Dodds and turn left onto the frontage road." - J. E. (Ed) Barbee, CPPB, Transportation Construction Liaison Officer, Town of Mount Pleasant
Q. 1. Who decided planting trees on Mathis Ferry Road last year during the scorch of summer was a good idea?
2. If planting them at that point was so important - why weren't they ever watered?
3. Why were water bags finally put on mostly dead shriveling trees?
4. Who finally determined they were dead, then ordered them hacked off above the old water bag and basically left as a trashy eyesore on the side of the road?
5. Where did all this money come from? - Coby Mozingo, Mount Pleasant A. "They were planted in late May and early into June 2011, which is in the later half of spring. This stretch of time had higher than normal temperatures which was unpredictable, with many days being 5-10 degrees warmer than normal.
2. They were watered, but mortality is a part of installations; however, it was much higher than expected in this project.
3. Bags were installed with the trees.
4. There were some complaints about the dead trees and when replaced it is intended to reuse the bags and staking.
5. Town funds were used for the above mentioned project." - Eddie Bernard, RLA, LEED AP, ISA Certified Arborist Municipal Specialist, ISA Certified Tree Risk Assessor, Town of Mount Pleasant- Planning Department Q. What is the meaning of these letters on the light poles on Pitt Street from the start to McCants Street? - Alison Dailey, Mount Pleasant A. "The North American electric system is comprised of three phases of Alternating Current (AC). They are commonly noted as "A Phase," "B Phase" and "C Phase." The ABC lettering you see on some SCE&G power poles designates the relative position of those phases at the top of the pole. It's important that utilities know the relative phasing on each pole so that they can correctly match phasing when power needs to be provided from alternate sources during maintenance or emergencies. You will normally only see the lettering designation on poles where the system changes (from overhead to underground for example) or a tap splits off the main circuit." - Matt Hammond, Manager, Mount Pleasant Electric Operations, SCE&G

Based on recent discussions with European regulatory authorities and Alimera's regulatory consultants in Europe, Alimera believes that it will take longer than originally anticipated to obtain marketing authorizations for ILUVIEN® from the seven countries in which Alimera filed for such authorization (Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain and the United Kingdom). As indicated in the Final Assessment Report ("FAR") received by Alimera on February 27, 2012, each of these countries has reached a consensus that ILUVIEN is approvable. However, although the Decentralized Procedure Members States' Standard Operating Procedure provides that each country shall adopt a national decision within 30 days after the Reference Member State closes the procedure (i.e., the issuance of the FAR), given the amount of time regulatory authorities in these countries have taken recently with respect to other drugs between the issuance of a FAR and the issuance of formal marketing authorizations, Alimera now believes that these authorizations likely will be issued in the second and third quarters of 2012, although one or more countries could take longer. Alimera does not anticipate, however, that the projected timing of these formal marketing authorizations will delay the availability of ILUVIEN in Europe, which Alimera expects to be by the end of 2012.
lol, old news
Oh F**k! It will be horrible tomorrow.

TV Land said goodbye to the man who brought years of laughter to "The Andy Griffith Show."
George Lindsey, who was affectionately known as "Goober Pyle" on the show, died Sunday after a brief illness. He was 83.
Lindsey played the grinning service station attendant alongside Andy Griffith from 1964 to 1968. The beanie-wearing character was the successor to Jim Nabors' character "Gomer Pyle."
"America has grown up with me," Lindsey said in an Associated Press interview in 1985. "Goober is every man; everyone finds something to like about ol' Goober."
Lindsey also played television roles in "Hee Haw," "M.A.S.H.," "CHIPs," "Twilight Zone," and many other 1950s and 60s classics.
"There's no place in the United States I can go that they don't know me. They may not know me, but they know the character," he told The Tennessean in 1980.
Lindsey, an Alabama native, devoted much of his spare time raising funds for the Alabama Special Olympics and the mentally disabled.

I imagine that wrestling reindeer features every single conceivable type of exercise and weight-lifting form at some point in the scrap.
yeah, i work a desk job (like most of us?), and then go to the gym after work a few times a week. if tried to squat serious weight without doing some hip openers first, that would be bad news.
the other thing is that lots of the movements i do - take overhead squats as an example - require a type of mobility that you need to train. i'm not sure cavemen did overhead squats, and i don't really care, as i like 'em.
I imagine that wrestling reindeer features every single conceivable type of exercise and weight-lifting form at some point in the scrap.
"Ah, those endless forests, and their horror-haunted gloom! For what eternities have I wandered through them, a timid, hunted creature, starting at the least sound, frightened of my own shadow, keyed-up, ever alert and vigilant, ready on the instant to dash away in mad flight for my life. For I was the prey of all manner of fierce life that dwelt in the forest, and it was in ecstasies of fear that I fled before the hunting monsters."
Jack london, "Before Adam"
google "grok hangs" and see a post that Mark did about stretching.
Don't you ever just stretch because it feels good?? I mean... when I wake in the morning I stretch. If I feel a bit stiff I stretch. This isn't a "routine" it's just something one does because it feels good!
Cats and dogs certainly stretch... rodents stretch...I guess other animals stretch too (these are just ones I see stretch regularly!!).
Sitting in a yoga squat (Grok Squat) either to poop or as a comfortable resting positioned certainly opened up their hips. They propably stretched, as I we all do from time to time, just because it feels good. Most importantly they constantly moved in a functional way through full ranges of motion, lifting, sprinting, bending to gather, swimming and playing which probably maintained an adequate level of flexibility.

But yes, the Wagner mud-slinging isn't just limited to the non-fans. In fact, I think some of the worst comments (gasp!) came from Nagasu fanatics and they definitely follow skating closely.
I just don't get the hatred. The decision was the USFSA not Ashley. And it was in the rules. I know this is not a popular position but even though Sale and Pelletier appeared tob e the victim of salt Lake and no one will admit they appreciated the support aht they though S and P deserved gold or in the case of Mirai to go to the olympics it really causes division in skating and ultimately hurts the sport which right now is not doing well in respect to marketing/popularity. In this case there are really no winners and the spoprt ges a bad rap is being crazy but because of the media and lack of comprehension of cop and in this case the usfsa rules which arent' that different than say Japan we really get a huge uproar that shouldn't happen. such rational people have been misled into misplaced attacking Ashley. But that explains why we have wars and such. I just hope good grace, good manners and logic will rule and soon.
Thankfully not EVERYONE upset with the decision is going after Wagner. One VERY vocal person on twitter is lobbying for petitions and voicing displeasure, directing the ammo where it belongs (USFS, USOC) and basically leaving AW alone. Good example being set
thankfully attention is starting to turn elsewhere - at least that's one good thing about "the internets", attention spans are only so long anymore.
I personally am very surprised at the negative attitude toward Ashley from different factions. I did not expect it. Mirai has fans but she isn't Michelle Kwan in terms of fame/popularity. Imagine if they had left MK off the team after the secret skate? Fan wars- Poor Hughes girl would have been literally crucified.
I don't think Ashley is that popular a person for one reason. She was outspoken in 2012. "It's mine to lose." People do not mind bravado from men-we expect it. Chan, Plushenko, Weir, all have been less than humble. Scott Moir another example. Men are expected to be confident. Women are losing ground everywhere. Ashley tries to be brave and confident, but we saw just how vulnerable she was. She saw Grace Gold in practice, the jumper, the future. Tall thin Gracie, looking every inch the ice princess. Ashley is beautiful-what eyes, yet we here how stunning Grace is. Ashley must have been so worried about her 3/3'a after seeing the new Grace with Frank, slimmer, blonder and jumping very well. Ash still has an artistic edge for me. But we see how she is vulnerable, and the crowd got behind Mirai, not her.
I think Ash is misunderstood and tries to be brave. SHe tries to talk positive and there is a bit of swagger. So what. Good for her. The problem is that feminism is all but dead, and Americans still do not get behind women. We are losing ground. Hillary Clinton's loss to Obama proves we are way behind other countries regarding views toward women and women in leadership.
Ashley may be compounding her popularity problem by her outspoken views on the Russian anti gay issue. Many skaters just shut up and think of themselves. You don't see Meryl risking her gold medal to be. Becuase I try to be logical, ie. this was a deliberated decision from USFSi.e. Ashley did not decide this route, I am surprised and disturbed at the ugliness directed toward Ashley by ? ubers of Mirai? I have to say I am shocked. Maybe Ashley knows people at GS support her and wish her well.
I truly hope she feels angry and skates her programs like a champion. She needs to have a dose of the killer instincts of MK, Sarah Hughes, and Tara. I hope she says to heck with the nut jobs on social media. So Mirai has a few thousand fans. So what, Ashley should say. Show us Ashley, you are tough!!! We want you to skate well. So you have some enemies now. That is life. I hope she has someone sending her the good stuff.
heck I joined twitter to tweet something good. She has more fans than anti fans.
Actually I find that attitude refreshing. Not your typical ice princess. It's unfortunate she had to get on the team this way - I'm sure if she had been in the top three none of this would be happening.I don't think Ashley is that popular a person for one reason. She was outspoken in 2012. "It's mine to lose."
As for Wagner's likability - I find myself wavering on that. In one sense her candor is sorely welcome in a world where PR soundbytes rule. We need more outspoken skaters like her. Also, before all this mess I appreciated the way she interacted with her fans on social media (not enough skaters/public figures do that). OTOH, there have been instances (TSL interview, having seen her interact w/friends in person) where - I don't know - I get reminded of certain girls I used to know and unfortunately not in a good way. But that's different from knowing someone personally, so...I don't know what to think. I guess provided what I know/don't know, I'll give her the BOTD.
Gracie Gold hasn't been crucified for what she's said at Nationals (the "I do think I can take the gold, if anyone else thinks otherwise they'll have to skate well enough to beat me").
It doesn't surprise me that fans have been so ugly to her - Ashley has never been their "it girl"... not because of what she says but what other fans have said about her.
As Johnny Weir said, Ashley is not a "pre-packaged skater" who says "I just wanna do my best" she says "I'm here to win". I like that, too. After a while the whole "I want to skate my best" line gets tired and feels forced and scripted. It's a double standard that males can be bold while women are expected to be all sweet and humble. There's nothing wrong with a female skater saying they want to win or the title is theirs to lose.
Ashley does not deserve the heat she's getting, and I hope she shows everyone what she's made of. She's a fighter!
I appreciate both Ashley and Gracie's refreshing willingness to come right out and say that they want to win. It reminds me of 2013 Worlds, when they made it clear -- despite the "ice princess" stereotype -- that they had one mission: to earn 3 spots for the US ladies. I don't even mind when they say things like "I'm the best" and "I came here to win" because ... well, they are.
they showed it in several of her fluff pieces during nationals.

I am a proud girl, I really am. I take my accomplishments very seriously, and that's mostly because I don't attempt to accomplish many things unless I really want to. The results are for the most part favourable.
And then there's school, where we are all forced to accomplish things single everyday. Some of these things interest us, some do not - studying for tests, completing assignments, going to lectures, keeping up with readings, forming relationships with professors. Believe it or not, I actually love school (or at least, I love studying Economics). But I have to, as all students do, take classes that barely interest me at all. Last semester I took Financial Management and I could feel my insides scream with discomfort every time I sat down to "study". I did not enjoy it at all. Sure enough, my final mark in that class was my worst mark in University. Ever. I was not proud of that one.
Yesterday I wrote a midterm that made me sweat, shake and have anxiety attacks while studying for it. Game Theory - the class which I am sure will be the true test of my intelligence. Nevertheless, the class I was actually ecstatic about taking (I know, I have a problem). Me and my friend spent a whole week chewing on an assignment for this class, and we easily went from thinking it was impossible to thinking that it was a joke. Clearly we had learned a lot that week... Yet I was still sure I was going to have a hard time with the midterm.
The professor for this class is totally and completely a privilege to be learning from, but tough. In fact, I was warned by many, but decided to stay fearless. All I could think about was how much I would regret it if I didn't take advantage of learning under the guidance of such an intelligent person. That would be just silly of me!15 minutes before test time my friend and I were just repeating "We don't know anything! We don't know anything!" We were truly terrified of what this test would be like.Then all my hours of studying and thinking were tested. We had 1.5 hours to complete the test and I finished 4/7 questions. During the last 15 minutes I just stared at the last three questions with a sore hand expecting the answers to just come out of the page as me while trying to hold back tears. I just felt so stupid - I was utterly dumbfounded, and it felt terrible. I felt like I was letting myself down and like all my previous accomplishments didn't matter to me anymore because of this one stupid test.I blame part of it on not getting enough sleep that
day week. I blame the other part of it on the way the University has always tested us. We are taught to memorize formulas and think linearly from textbooks in order to pass examinations. Yesterday, this professor threw questions at us that involved us to dig into the part of our brain where we had to think, and not just recall. While I respect these intentions, I was left feeling so disappointed in myself and when I left the room I started to laugh/cry at the same time because I had no idea what had just happened in there. I had never experienced this feeling after a test.I can't tell if I let myself down, or if I was just thrown something I was not equipped to fight. Either way, I think I'm being too hard on myself for this. But I can't help it, it's who I am.I slept for 14 hours last night, without disturbances.
I made this granola the weekend before and munched on it throughout this hellish week. I woke up last Sunday and went straight to the kitchen to make it in my PJ's. When I went to bed that night, all I could smell on my sleeves was cinnamon and oats.It's crunchy (a must for me when it comes to granola) and slightly sweet. The coconut shavings seriously have the best crunch.Sunday GranolaIngredients:3 cups quick oats1/2 cup pecans, walnuts, or almonds, roughly chopped1 cup unsweetened coconut shavings1/2 cup superfood seeds mixture (hemp, chia, flax, buckwheat, etc)1/2 cup pumpkin seeds3/4 cup maple syrup1/2 cup coconut oil, melted1 large egg white, beaten1 tsp cinnamon1/2 tsp nutmeg1/2 tsp saltMethod:Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, mix together all dry ingredients up to maple syrup. Mix in the egg white. In a separate bowl, whisk together coconut oil and maple syrup (to the best of your ability, it does not work too well). Pour this in with the rest and mix. Add cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Bake in the lower third of your oven for 30-45 minutes until dark golden brown. Stir it constantly to prevent burning, about every 7-10 minutes. Optional: + 1 cup dried cranberries or raisons after you take it out of the oven. I'm not just of a dried fruit girl myself, but I know a lot of people love it in their granola. + 1/3 cup of cacao nibs+ 2 tbls of brown sugar added into the maple syrup mixture
Well, I am off to British Columbia for "reading" week. I've never been to the West Coast before and me and my new rain coat are all ready to go.

heres the link http://wiiware.nintendolife.com/news...in_for_wiiwareAward-winning game comes to WiiWare.
The ever-growing list of upcoming WiiWare releases has just gotten a little bit bigger - Developers NinjaBee and Grubby Games have announced a partnership to bring The Amazing Brain Train, originally a PC game, to WiiWare.
Although it's an educational game, it supposedly has more content than any other game in the genre - Quests, trophies, highscores and more. There's not really much info about the WiiWare version of the game, nor are there any screenshots or videos, so we'll just let you read the press release announcing it:
Indie Studios NinjaBee and Grubby Games Team Up on WiiWare Title
PAX 10 Winner The Amazing Brain Train coming to WiiWare
OREM, Utah Aug. 18, 2009 Indie video game developer NinjaBee is proud to announce it has partnered with fellow indie developer Grubby Games to bring the 2008 PAX 10 Award-winning game - The Amazing Brain Train - to Nintendo WiiWare, the Wii systems downloadable service, this fall.
The Amazing Brain Train is a great example of some things that make indie games great its highly creative, visually distinctive, and fundamentally fun to play, said NinjaBee President and co-founder Steve Taylor.
More than a year of work has been put into fine-tuning The Amazing Brain Train and adapting it for the Wii. The result is a fun, ultra-challenging and addictive brain training game that is unlike any other in the WiiWare library.
This is no ordinary brain game, said Ryan Clark, co-founder of Grubby Games. The Amazing Brain Train contains features never before seen in the genre. Its a departure from the minimalist brain games weve seen in the past. You can forget about goal-less gameplay: The Amazing Brain Train is packed with quests, trophies and high scores that add an aspect of gameplay that other brain games just dont have.
Hosted by the diminutive genius Professor Fizzwizzle, the game takes the player on a brain-boosting adventure around the Professors cartoon world, stopping to solve challenges and help his friends along the way. Fueled only by mental energy, The Amazing Brain Train guides the player through 15 different mini-games in three addictive game play modesquest, test and practice.
The ability to save personal, friends and family members high scores on the same console allows the player to come back time and again to challenge best scores and prove just how smart he or she is.
Ryan showed me a copy of the game before it came out and after seeing it just once we said This would be perfect for Wii, Taylor said. Thats how this whole project got started. One of the cool things about working with small studios is having the flexibility to do something like this without a big negotiation or interference from a big publisher.
The Amazing Brain Train was originally released for PC, Mac and Linux in May of 2008 and in July of that year, the game was selected out of hundreds of entries as one of 10 games to be featured at the Penny Arcade Expo.
What the F*ck is this crap? i was too lazy to read it all can someone enlighten me on this wiiware/pc or mac game title.
it looks like a piece of sh*t to tell the truth.

Jeep offers three four-wheel-drive systems on the Grand Cherokee, and all three are the permanently engaged type. Quadra-Trac I, standard on four-wheel-drive Laredo models, splits power 50/50 between the front and rear axles, and there are no switches or levers to control the system.
Quadra-Trac II automatically transfers power from wheels that slip to the wheels that grip and can send 100 percent of torque to the front or rear axle. It has a two-speed transfer case (instead of single-speed) with a low range engaged by a dashboard switch for off-road driving. This system is standard on four-wheel-drive Limited and Overland models and optional on Laredos.
Quadra-Drive II also can transfer power front and rear and has a low range, plus it has an electronic limited-slip rear differential that apportions power between the rear wheels. Quadra-Drive II is standard on Overland models with the 5.7-liter V-8 and optional on Laredos. In addition, Quadra-Trac II and Quadra-Drive II come with Jeep's Selec-Terrain system, which allows setting the powertrain, brakes and suspension for different conditions — Sand/Mud, Snow, Rock, Auto or Sport.

Data Analysis with Open Source Toolsby Philipp K. Janert
Collecting data is relatively easy, but turning raw information into something useful requires that you know how to extract precisely what you need. With this insightful book, intermediate to experienced programmers interested in data analysis will learn techniques for working with data in a business environment. You'll learn how to look at data to discover what it contains, how to capture those ideas in conceptual models, and then feed your understanding back into the organization through business plans, metrics dashboards, and other applications. Along the way, you'll experiment with concepts through hands-on workshops at the end of each chapter. Above all, you'll learn how to think about the results you want to achieve -- rather than rely on tools to think for you. Use graphics to describe data with one, two, or dozens of variables Develop conceptual models using back-of-the-envelope calculations, as well as scaling and probability arguments Mine data with computationally intensive methods such as simulation and clustering Make your conclusions understandable through reports, dashboards, and other metrics programs Understand financial calculations, including the time-value of money Use dimensionality reduction techniques or predictive analytics to conquer challenging data analysis situations Become familiar with different open source programming environments for data analysis "Finally, a concise reference for understanding how to conquer piles of data." --Austin King, Senior Web Developer, Mozilla "An indispensable text for aspiring data scientists." --Michael E. Driscoll, CEO/Founder, Dataspora
Feedback Control for Computer Systemsby Philipp K. Janert
How can you take advantage of feedback control for enterprise programming? With this book, author Philipp K. Janert demonstrates how the same principles that govern cruise control in your car also apply to data center management and other enterprise systems. Through case studies and hands-on simulations, you'll learn methods to solve several control issues, including mechanisms to spin up more servers automatically when web traffic spikes. Feedback is ideal for controlling large, complex systems, but its use in software engineering raises unique issues. This book provides basic theory and lots of practical advice for programmers with no previous background in feedback control. Learn feedback concepts and controller design Get practical techniques for implementing and tuning controllers Use feedback "design patterns" for common control scenarios Maintain a cache's "hit rate" by automatically adjusting its size Respond to web traffic by scaling server instances automatically Explore ways to use feedback principles with queueing systems Learn how to control memory consumption in a game engine Take a deep dive into feedback control theory

FLINT – Fresh off leading Eastern Kentucky to the NCAA Tournament -- and earning his bachelor's degree in sports management -- Glenn Cosey has landed a professional basketball job in France.
Cosey, a Flint Carman-Ainsworth grad, signed an overseas contract with Evreux in the Ligue Nationale de Basket (LNB).
There are two divisions in the LNB, Pro A and Pro B, and Evreux is one of 18 teams in Pro B.
"I was told by my agent that most rookies don't play in France their first year, they have to prove themselves first," Cosey said. "So it's a great opportunity that I couldn't pass on."
Evreux made it to the semifinal round of last year's playoffs and finished 25-19 overall, tied for fifth in the league. Cosey will report to training camp in August. The new season starts in September.
Evreux is roughly 60 miles northwest of Paris and is located in northern France. Cosey was an All-American in college who averaged 18.7 points, 4.2 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game for EKU in 2013-14.
He broke numerous records, made First-Team All-Conference and became the 32nd player in school history to score over 1,000 points despite playing only two years with the Colonels.
Cosey spent his first two college years at Columbus State Community College in Ohio, where he also made the National Junior College Athletic Association's Division II All-American First-Team list as a sophomore in 2012.

Made in Detroit, the clothing company owned by Robert Ritchie a.k.a.Kid Rock, is not really made in Detroit.
The million-dollar company is headquartered in the northern Oakland County city of Clarkston -- but it wasn't always.
When Robert Stanzler, the brand's creator, started Made in Detroit, it was a grassroots effort that was all about being headquartered in the city.
Kid Rock, a longtime friend who promoted Stanzler's brand by wearing it at concerts throughout the 1990s, bought Made in Detroit when Stanzler was going though financial problems in 2005.
The two worked on the brand together until Kid Rock moved the company out of Detroit and into Oakland County, which Stanzler disagreed with. When Kid Rock rejected Stanzler's offer for a no-compete agreement, Stanzler broke out on his own to create Detroit Manufacturing.
The brand is gaining popularity, especially with its "Little Miss Detroit" and "Detroit, City of Tomorrow" designs which have been making the rounds at outdoor summer festivals in Detroit.
But now, according to several local retailers that carry both brands, a Made in Detroit executive has been giving them an ultimatum: stop selling Detroit Manufacturing apparel, or we'll pull our merchandise.
According to this Crain's Detroit Business article, at least one retailer has decided to go with Made in Detroit, the bigger seller.
But another decided to stick with Detroit Manufacturing, despite its lower sales, out of loyalty to Stanzler.
"I don't fault him for doing business, or for finding ways to make the business work for him," Stanzler said of Kid Rock in the Crain's article.
"In fact, I'm grateful for it. The fact that Made in Detroit doesn't actually make anything in Detroit has given us our grassroots back."
Another juicy detail from the article: Made in Detroit is apparently expanding into other cities. The company has already trademarked the name "Made in Nashville" and is working on Chicago, Atlanta and Las Vegas.

It's a 100% FREE Motley Fool service...
Wouldn't it be nice if you could go back in time and invest in Whole Foods Market (NASDAQ: WFM ) ? Believe it or not, you might have a second chance to do so. I recently wrote an article: "Kroger (NYSE: KR ) and Whole Foods Are for Different Types of Investors." Perhaps you read it. If not, I included a quick comparison to Sprouts Farmers Market (NASDAQ: SFM ) . After completing the article, I decided to go back and do more research on Sprouts Farmers Market. What I found was very intriguing.
Will Sprouts continue to sprout?
In 2002, Sprouts Farmers Market had one location, located in Chandler, Arizona. Today, it has 165 locations across eight states. This still makes Sprouts Farmers Market relatively small, and that's excellent news for investors.
Sprouts Farmers Market is highly likely to expand. When a new store expands, it tends to attract a deluge of customers because of the novelty. This in itself is a potential top-line catalyst. In many cases, the novelty eventually wears off. However, in some cases, such as in the case of Sprouts Farmers Market, the store offers something unique enough that it builds a strong loyal customer base.
Loyal customers
Sprouts Farmers Market is set up to look like an open-air farmer's market, hence the name. When you walk through its doors, you will hear lively 50s and 60s music, and you're likely to be greeted with a smile. Sprouts Farmers Market takes the laid-back and fun approach to customer service. You will also notice the fresh produce section in the middle of the store. Most grocery stores have their fresh produce off to one side. Sprouts Farmers Market figured that having its most popular section on center display would make sense.
When you walk around the store, you will also find low shelving; wide-open aisles for easy maneuverability; wooden crates and barrels filled with various items, including candy, grains, nuts, coffee and flour; a deli counter with made-to-order sandwiches, a full-service meat and seafood center, including homemade hamburgers and sausages; and a large selection of vitamins and supplements with a trained and knowledgeable staff to explain the benefits of these vitamins and supplements.
All of these features combined lead to customer loyalty. As you might already be able to tell, Sprouts Farmers Market offers a unique shopping experience, and some might even refer to it as a happy shopping experience. However, the biggest selling point of all, for customers as well as investors, is that Sprouts Farmers Market offers differentiation by offering "Healthy Living for Less."
This is the company's slogan, and it's what separates Sprouts Farmers Market from Whole Foods, where customers often have to pay a premium for natural and organic foods. This has led to great success for Whole Foods, but if consumers are struggling and both options are available in a geographical sense, then they're more likely to visit Sprouts Farmers Market. Whole Foods doesn't have to worry too much yet, as it has more than twice as many stores, but it might want to begin looking over its shoulder.
Comparison to Whole Foods Market and Kroger
The one potential negative for Sprouts Farmers Market, at least from an investing standpoint, is that it's currently trading at 64 times forward earnings. This makes it much more expensive than Whole Foods and Kroger, which are trading at 29 and 13 times forward earnings, respectively. However, it seems as though Sprouts Farmers Market is more than capable of growing into its multiple if its recent top-line trend remains intact:
SFM Revenue (TTM) data by YCharts
After investors see strong top-line growth, they often want to know about the bottom line. After all, many young companies that show strong top-line growth lag on the bottom line. Fortunately, this isn't the case for Sprouts Farmers Market:
SFM Net Income (TTM) data by YCharts
That said, it should be noted that by offering "Healthy Living for Less," Sprouts Farmers Market has very thin margins. For instance, its profit margin of 1.97% leaves little room for error. That said, the same is true for Amazon, which seems to be doing just fine.
Another potential negative for Sprouts Farmers Market is that it doesn't pay a dividend. However, most young growth companies don't go this route. These companies want to use their cash flow to reinvest in the business for continued growth. This, in turn, often leads to stock appreciation.
If you're interested in a larger, more mature grocery store that generates a lot of cash flow and pays a dividend, then you might want to consider Kroger, which currently yields 1.60%. Whole Foods is somewhere in the middle, offering growth and shareholder rewards thanks to strong cash flow. Whole Foods currently yields 0.90%.
An organic growth play
Despite the rich valuation and current macroeconomic headwinds, Sprouts Farmers Market appears to have more upside potential than downside risk. Since it's a young company, there could be some big bumps in the road, but if you're looking at this from a long-term Foolish investment perspective, then there are few companies I like better than Sprouts Farmers Market when it comes to potential.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 188.8.131.52
Forum Moderators: open
I would like to create a tabbed banner, something like chitika is offering. Maybe someone have seen any tutorials about it or have made anything like that in the past? I have googled for it, but I'm not getting anything like that. Maybe I'm using bad keywords, I don't know. Any help is appreciated!
The high level view of this is for each tab you have a div that is position:absolute and display:none.
The active tab is display:block.
the row of tabs is styled with css and has a link:hover state that makes it look different. At the same time;
getElementByID('the div id').style.display='block';
getElementByID('the other divid').style.display='none';
getElementByID('the other,other div id').style.display='none';"
All of this can be packaged a little cleaner with some slick js functions and css but that is the trick to it.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- The attorney representing Birmingham police officers accused of excessive force in a videotaped arrest that surfaced Wednesday said she is pleased police and city officials haven't overreacted to the highly-publicized claims made against the officers.
"It is important that we learn from the knee-jerk reaction made in the last case," said Gayle Gear, referring to the firing of five officers after a 2008 video showed them kicking and striking a motorist after a 22-minute chase. A Jefferson County Personnel Board hearing officer this week recommended those officers be reinstated.
"The former mayor's decision was clearly a mistake," Gear said today. "They were fired out of the gate. After the officers had the opportunity to have their day in court, they were vindicated, but it took two years. We are pleased that is not being done with this."
Attorney Charles Salvagio on Wednesday released the videotaped arrest of his client, 29-year-old Travarious Daniel, who was arrested March 20 at 1:30 a.m. during an undercover operation aimed at cracking down on car break-ins. The video shows Daniel getting out of the car with his hands in the air as an officer runs up to him, repeatedly striking him in the back of the head. Other officers punched and kicked Daniel as he laid on the ground, the video showed.
Daniel, a convicted felon, is charged with unlawful breaking and entering of a vehicle and receiving stolen property. He also faces charges of being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm.
One officer involved in the arrest is on paid leave pending an investigation by the police department's Internal Affairs Division and the Alabama Bureau of Investigation. A second officer is expected to be placed on leave when he returns from medical leave.
Police have not released the names of the officers involved, of which there were about a half dozen at or near the scene.
Gear also declined to identify the officers, but said they are all experienced officers for whom she had high praise.
"They work special details and are specially-trained," Gear said. "They are extraordinary, which is kind of ordinary for us. They are typical of all of our fine officers."

The attorney representing five Americans who have been detained in Pakistan is denying that his clients planned to carry out terrorist attacks.
Their lawyer says the five men planned to travel to Afghanistan to help fellow muslims, "who are being victimized by western forces."
The five young muslim men are from the Washington, D.C. area.
Pakistani police say they will charge the men with terrorism and seek life sentences against them.

Hi SAP Experts,
It would be highly appreciated if I get your invaluable guild line on SOY support package for UK Payroll.
As RTI support Packages has been updated in system - I could see few of the Legal changes got updated in system like SxP rates, Income Tax rates but I could see NI Threshold limits, bands,Tax uplifts, Income tax slab for above 150000 earning is incorrect.....
I need to know what support package needs to be updated now for these missing statutory changes.
Waiting for positive revert on this.
Thanks & regards
Hi Priya
I am a little concerned by your message as it seems to indicate you are applying some support packages relating to new functionality for the 2013/2014 tax year, but not all .... especially with tax year end / tax year start support packages, it is very important to ensure all necessary support packages are deployed and that the sequence of applying is adhered to very carefully. I'm sure you know this already, but sometimes it is helpful to repeat for the benefit of anyone new to the process!
In general, the process for End of Year is spelled out in SAP Note 1796347, together with related Notes 1809959 and 1818712.
For Start of Year (the new rates about which your question is specifically directed), the main SAP Note is 1796768. You will find details of Support Packages here also.
For RTI, the main Note is 1810145.
For all of the above, you should also carefully check the SAP Service Market Place in case there are any additional Notes that relate to you.
Best wishes,
Alison - Thanks for the invaluable suggestion.
I could check at SAP market place and found 1796768 note for the Start of year ,GB_PY legal changes. Also would like to mention that we have master note 1796057 however we need to get 1796768 for the annual legal changes.
Relative support package is SAPK-60457INSAPHRCGB which needs to be implemented now.
Kindly correct me if I am not referring correct support Package.
Hi Priya
That's right so long as you've checked the support pack level matches your release level, which I assume you have. You may also want to refer to the Master Note for RTI, which is 1808937. This contains the latest updates and cross references to Notes for RTI and also refers to the February CLC for PY-GB: SAPK-60459INSAPHRCGB. To ensure you have everything in your system to cover year end, year start and RTI, you should check all of the above and be careful to apply everything in the right sequence and to take special care if there are any manual implementation steps referred to in the various Notes.
Good luck with everything.
Hi again, I checked with Basis Guys and found that above Support package is there in system but the correction which are mentioned in S note 1796768 are not present in system. Also,correction mentioned on S note 1822741 should be present in system for additional tax rates. Kindly suggest. Regards Priya
Alison - I was wondering if we should implement SAPK-60459INSAPHRCGB support packages , also S note 1822741 says that above SP should be implemented.
Further, we do not have RT S note 1808937 in system and we have at SP level 57 - this S note required SP level 58.
Kindly advise me. - Also please suggest if we need to implement SAPK-60459INSAPHRCGB, 59 SP level for sure as we are at SP level 57 only.
As of now I think we need 1822741 corrections so can we go for manual correction rather than going for SP level 59 ?
I am seeking help on this please.
Hi Priya
I think some of your additional questions may have crossed with my last reply (above) where I referred you also to the support pack 59. My personal advice would always be to go with the highest possible support pack level for payroll at this time of year, otherwise you have a higher risk of missing something out and experiencing unwanted issues. This doesn't mean you won't need to also have some manual corrections, if important Notes are released after you install the support pack. However, by minimising the number of manual steps, you inevitably minimise your level of risk.
Kind regards,
Hi Alison,
Thanks for your consistent support on my issue.
Before going for 59 SP level, I need to take care of ER_HR as well which should also be compatible with HR/PY support package.
As of now ER_HR SP level is compatible with 57 SP level so with update in SP 57 to 59 , we need to update ER_HR as well , right ? otherwise we will again get issues for PTARQ in ESS/MSS database.
Please provide your expert suggestion on this.
Hi Priya
I think this is something you may need to check with your Basis team. Also, when you go through all the Notes step by step, I think they do take you through the pre-requisites, but again it would be advisable to do this in liaison with Basis or let them advise you. The other thing I think (but as I don't do this myself I'm not sure) is that when you are applying Notes/Support Packs through Solution Manager, the system will highlight for you the system requirements in respect of component levels (I think you are possibly referring to EA-HR?). As specified in Note 1796057, you also need to take account of CLC's for Payroll (Country Legal Change) levels per component SAP_HRCGB. The link to further information is:
Sorry I can't be more specific with advice on this, but hopefully your Basis team can help you make the right decisions for your system environment.
Kind regards,
Thanks Alison for your all guidelines and invaluable knowledge sharing - I could get all legal changes in System and testing is also successfully done.
This thread is now closed.

Cool Or Not Cool: Treating A Coffee Shop Like YOur Living Room?
OK, let's get right down to it.
Shoes off, feet up on a chair, belongings strewn about. Lately I've seen a lot of people treating coffee shops like their own apartments. Recently, my friend was sitting on a couch at a Park Slope coffee shop and a man sat beside her, took his shoes and socks off -- it was 90 degrees out this day, mind you -- and put his dirty feet up on the couch inches away from her hands, which were holding a chocolate chip scone. She couldn't finish the scone then, nor has she been able to eat one since. Yes, she's absolutely being a bit overdramatic, but still, it begs the question: how much luxury does one deserve along with the purchase of a cup of coffee or muffin?
You tell me, reader -- what's cool and what's not cool?
* Taking off your shoes and putting your feet up on furniture?
* Bringing your own food/drinks into a coffee shop?
* Using outlets to power anything other than a computer or phone?
* Putting various bags, clothing and items on nearby seats when a place isn't empty?
Tell me your thoughts.

Where would a person go to find out info on how to build and buy parts for the AR rifles? I would like to learn how to build my own AR. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

I'm interested too.
Lets say right now a DPMS M4 can be had for 800.00.
How much would you save by essentially making it yourself?
January 1, 2010, 10:23 AM
ar15.com is the most commonly used resource. their build guides have been used by tens of thousands. m4carbine.net has some very solid technical info. and of course, there's quite a bit of good info in the reading library sticky in this forum.
btw, welcome to THR
January 1, 2010, 11:19 AM
You might not save a dime. Essentially, you should - the cost of labor, which comes out to about $100-150. What many don't consider is the skill involved in all the little things - like installing the lower trigger roll pin without breaking off the mounting ear, or making sure the upper is squared, true, and properly tightened by the numbers (three times) with an appropriate lube.
All that is in most of the assembly stickies. If you are mechanical, and have worked on automobiles, it will be relatively easier than rebuilding a carburetor or alternator.
But the real hazard is that buying the components separately means you get to pick and choose, and that's like passing a whorehouse on your wedding day. Will you stick to your commitment or stray? Things could get really expensive.
If you choose to build, figure out what kind of carbine you want, what items, what budget, etc. Then you have a clear cut goal. Otherwise, you get trapped wrangling decisions over stuff that may be entirely incompatible - like a 24" barrel with four rail handguard on a issue M4 stock. Don't build a hybrid, it winds up not doing anything well.
January 1, 2010, 12:04 PM
I have built all the AR's I have, and a basic rifle can be built for less than $600 typically. Your real expense will start after the build is complete, as you will need magazines, ammo, a sling, a light, some sort of fore arm rail, some sort of optics, an upgrade to your butt stock and pistol grip, then a second rifle, and then a third, then a foiurth, all in different configurations for different reasons.
As Triod said, basic mechanical skills and a handful of tools, plus a good place to spred it all out (as well as a third hand on occasion), you can build quite successfully. www.ar15.com has some great info on building.
Good luck, and welcome to the "sickness"!
January 1, 2010, 12:29 PM
Centerfire systems has stripped lowers for under $100. Complete ARs are $700 on up.
Advantage to building is to get the AR you want and you can spread out your cost over several months...I usually spend more when I get it done than a basic built one. Fun to do.
January 1, 2010, 12:36 PM
I was going to build a AR in .308 It would have cost a few hundred more than the one I bought. So I agree with the others, it's not a cost saver, it's just fun and you build what you want. my 2 cents.
January 1, 2010, 12:54 PM
Spikes Tactical (http://www.spikestactical.com/z/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&keyword=stripped+lower) has a couple stripped lowers at $90 right now.
January 1, 2010, 02:42 PM
Stripped lowers have gone from $200+ (for a S&W a year ago), to $80+ today. I'm expecting (hoping) that the other parts will go down more than weve seen so far before putting an upper together in .223. Take your time and shop everything, but buy quality stuff.
January 1, 2010, 03:45 PM
I wouldn't count on prices going any lower.
January 2, 2010, 07:03 AM
thanks for all the info. is the lower reciever the only part that has to be purchased through a FFL dealer? Would it be better to get the upper and lower halves for a first time buyer or buy part by part? Oh yea and thanks for the welcomes. This is a great site with great info. Thanks Brent
January 2, 2010, 08:26 AM
Yes, the stripped lower receiver is the "firearm" and must be purchased from a FFL (you can have one shipped to the FFL). With few exceptions like short barrels and silencers, everything else for a standard rifle can be purchased online and shipped to your door, no FFL.
You can buy complete upper and lower receivers and pin them together - or build up stripped receivers with the parts YOU choose. Either way, do your research and buy the right parts for YOU. Many people build the lower and buy a complete upper which has been headspaced and test fired.
January 2, 2010, 03:27 PM
Ive got to put another +1 on AR15.com It was the best resource I could find when I was doing research on my build.
There is a wealth of knowledge on the platform there and even a forum dedicated to building your own.
January 2, 2010, 03:33 PM
Lets say right now a DPMS M4 can be had for 800.00.
How much would you save by essentially making it yourself?
Assuming the upper goes for about $400 or less, you can save $150-200 - maybe even a bit more.
