Comments and Facts Regarding The Article about a Virginian being aboard The Hunley made in the CSS H L Hunley Group.

I agree with you Mike, When you look at the crew names, the only two it seems in question is White and Miller. One of them wore Chamberlain's Dog Tag. And if that person was a spy either Miller or White must be Hayes. Perfectly convoluted if you ask me.. ;>} George

Actually, there's some justification to that view.
A lot of spying took place in the Civil War. Both sides shared a language and a cultural heritage, making it extremely easy to impersonate a member of the other side. Mark Ragan asserts that one of the Hunley's former crewmembers was a mysterious Henry Dillingham*, probably a Confederate intelligence officer (spy).
Also consider that Confederate deserters gave Admiral Dahlgren, Commander of the fleet blockading Charleston, pretty good descriptions of the Hunley and the David. (The war was going very badly for the South at that time and there were many deserters.) One reportedly built a model of the Hunley. Those descriptions resulted in Dahlgren's Jan 7 1864 order to protect the ironclads in Charleston Harbor with chain booms.
* My own efforts to track down Dillingham have been mostly futile.
However, I did turn up this obituary:
"Hannah Veronica Doble, born July 04, 1850 in Dixfield, Oxford Co.,ME; died Unknown; Stepchild. She married Henry Dillingham March 31,1872; died Unknown."
Was it the same Henry Dillingham? We'll probably never know.

But apparently, no actual *evidence* of it whatever.
All I know, as Will Rogers used to say, is what I
read in the papers -- in this case the Post & Courier article posted to the list on Thursday. The only concrete information I get from it is that there is documentation of a previously unknown person allegedly aboard the boat when she sank. While it's interesting, and should open another avenue of research, the information as reported in the story is so limited that spinning off *any* speculation from it is premature at best. McConnell's musings for the press seem clearly
intended to generate column-inches for the project.
That's not a bad thing, necessarily, but it bothers me that he's doing it by (to all appearances) making up dramatic scenarios out of whole cloth.
If there actually *is* evidence to support McConnell's "spy" theory, I'd like to know what it is. Further,I would argue, FotH has an obligation to make it public along with their interpretation of it. Unless there really is evidence that supports McConnell's suggestion, it looks to me like he's just spinning the same sort of unsubstantiated BS that has muddled up the true history of the boat for over 130 years.

Exchanging Pleasantrees
Seeing the forest in a new way
Photography: Eric Kiel
(page 3 of 3)
It is thought-provoking that they are the vision of the woman who, in a moment of frustration one morning, found she was yelling, "Don't yell!" to her kids and coined the term "Mommybomb." She'd lost patience, and her perspective along with it. That's when her husband encouraged her to quit her restaurant job—in spite of the financial implications—and dedicate herself to her family and her art. "I'm sincerely living the dream," she repeats as though she herself can hardly believe it. "Every morning I wake up thinking I need to get everything done by my four o'clock shift."
Graves recently returned from a visit to the Contemporary Artists Center in Massachusetts, where she was able to thank Rudd, who influenced and encouraged her early on. The act is typical Graves: one of her strongest characteristics is gratitude. "How lucky am I," is a favorite catchphrase. But she has worked hard and long for her luck. "You have to be driven and passionate about what you want. And never, never, never give up."
Christopher has been an integral part of her struggle and success. Although it's not always easy to watch his wife's career surge while his grows steadily but slowly, he's her biggest champion and strongest ally. "Clearly, I couldn't do this on my own," asserts Graves. "He has always been supportive and enabled us to have wonderful spaces to be creative in." Several years ago Christopher started building his wife's canvases—an exacting, respected craft, especially on the large scale that Graves' work demands, and they've drawn interest from other painters.
On a 90-degree Thursday afternoon, the couple swigs water and fixes price tags to benches, mirrors, and paintings under their tent at the Hailey Farmer's and Artist's Market. Graves had admitted that the weekly market is not a productive venue for them. But they enjoy supporting the community by participating and offering their work to locals at wholesale prices. They're cheerfully greeted by what seems like nine out of 10 passersby. Then a tall man in cowboy boots strolls up. "Stop it!" exclaims Graves, jumping up and giving Steve Champion a hug. He beams. He and his partner John Chapman have recently acquired a painting, and want to bring guests by the studio on Sunday. Will that work?
"How flattered am I!" exclaims Graves. "Sunday is family day. We'll all be there. I'll try to have the kids dressed."
Chapman, former chairman of the Idaho Arts Commission, saw a Graves triptych in early 2007 on the wall of Fresshies restaurant in Hailey. He tracked down the artist and purchased a scene that reminded him of the site on his ranch where his parents are buried. "I am quite excited about her future," says Chapman in a typically understated way. "I think she's an up-and-coming artist. I can't say enough." Champion is less modest. "Melissa and Christopher?" he says, grinning. "I love 'em!"
Two weeks later, July 15th dawned clear and hot, and three hours of sleep didn't keep her from pulling off Olivia's fifth birthday party with a bang. Bags of ladybugs were let loose in the park and raspberry-filled cake was reduced to crumbs. In the '50s, Rauschenberg showed a skeptical world that art could emphasize excitement and playfulness over ambition, and still retain meaning. Viewers might say that Graves has pulled a Rauschenberg with her own "combine" of work, wifedom, motherhood, and art.

'Louie' Season Four Premiere Up From Season Three Average
The Season 4 premiere of Louie drew 941,000 total viewers, with 635,000 of those in the adults 18-49 demographic.
via press release:
Louie – Ratings Information – Season 4, Episodes 1 and 2
After a 19-month hiatus, television's most critically acclaimed comedy series Louie returned in fine fashion as the fourth season premiere episode (5/5/14, 10 PM) was up +19% vs. the series' season three average (941,000 vs. 791,000) and +26% in Adults 18-49 (635,000 vs. 505,000).
Episode 2 of Louie (10:30 PM) was rock solid, growing its audience by +3% in Adults 18-49 (651,000 vs. 635,000) compared to the Season 4 premiere episode, and it retained 97% of the Total Viewers (910,000 vs. 941,000).
Compared to its Season 3 average, Season 4 of Louie is +17% in Total Viewers (925,000 vs 791,000) and +27% in Adults 18-49 (643,000 vs. 505,000).
Last night's Season 4 debut of Louie outperformed its half-hour lead-in audience (9:30P) Horrible Bosses by +16% (941,000 vs. 809,000 Total Viewers).
Please note: Placing any major significance on season-to-season premiere episodes comparisons makes little sense considering the performance of the Season 3 premiere of Louie was overly inflated due to the heavily promoted premiere night of Anger Management (6/28/2012). Season 3 premier of Louie delivered 1.43 million Total Viewers (10:30 PM) coming out of Wilfred's lead-in audience of 2.53 million Total Viewers. (Anger Management averaged 5.6 million Total Viewers in the 9-10 PM hour that night).

HMC Focuses on Experience When Caring for Young Patients in a Calm Environment
Going under anesthesia in the hospital Operating Room can be scary for grown-ups, but is almost always even scarier for children.
While adults can intellectually understand the experience, kids, depending on their age, have varying degrees of perceiving what's happening, said HMC Chief of Anesthesiology Dr. Vijay Gandevia.
"Not only must you deal with the medical issues at hand, but you have to deal with the emotional aspect of the whole process for the children, and their parents," said Gandevia. "When you provide a calm, stress-free and friendly environment for the family, the medical procedure goes much more smoothly."
Holyoke Medical Center (HMC)'s highly trained team of anesthesiologists have years of experience working with children, including at Children's Hospital in Boston, Shriners Hospital and Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, Gandevia said.
Fueled with top-notch physicians, anesthesiologists and expert nurses and technicians, HMC offers an unintimidating community hospital environment for children needing surgical procedures under anesthesia, from removing tonsils and inserting ear tubes to removing large volumes of tooth decay or performing colonoscopy or upper endoscopy.
"Holyoke Medical Center is community centered and in that regard, very family centered," said Pediatric Gastroenterologist Dr. Susan Goode, who performs pediatric procedures at HMC. "The entire staff including nurses and anesthesiologists love kids and are great at what they do. We work as a team to make a procedure the least scary experience that we can."
When children arrive at HMC, they are greeted by smiling nurses in their own child-friendly, pre-op waiting area and offered age-appropriate toys in a small, comfortable room -- stuffed animals and coloring books for young children; DVD players and videos for older children.
The anesthesiologist calmly talks to the family and child about what will happen when they "go to sleep" and invites the parents to be in the Operating Room with the child until that happens. Immediately following the procedure, parents greet their child in the recovery area as they wake up, often disoriented, to provide comfort.
"There is an impression that you need to go to a big medical institution for pediatric procedures, or for the highest quality care, but this is simply untrue. Clinically there are definitely conditions that warrant going to a huge medical center, but there are procedures that can be done better with top notch providers, in a smaller, friendlier, much less stressful environment for your child. That's what sets Holyoke Medical Center apart," said Gandevia.
"One does not have to sacrifice quality of care at a smaller, calmer hospital," he emphasized.
Kelly Duffy, of Westfield, experienced this when her 2½ year-old daughter Lily Anne was having dental issues and went to see Dr. Maureen Quinn of Chicopee.
"I was very apprehensive because Lily Anne wasn't even three years old, but Dr. Quinn and the anesthesiologists were wonderful," she said. "They called me and did a consult with me over the phone, and then a second consult when we needed it. They were really great."
In July, Lily Anne had dental surgery to remove tooth decay, have cavities filled and X-Rays taken. Kelly remembers the kind nurse who gave her daughter papers to color and games to play while they waited.
"Lily Anne warmed up by the time we left the waiting room," said Duffy. "It was very friendly. They had a little TV just her size. The best part was that they allowed me to go into the OR until she was put under, and then I could leave. Everyone was so supportive."
Dr. Quinn performs pediatric dental procedures at HMC for children who are very young with a large volume of tooth decay or are uncooperative in the office setting and have many cavities; or have special needs like children with autism or Down syndrome, she said.
"HMC offers a great experience for patients . . . the environment is very quiet and calm and seems to keep them more relaxed in an otherwise stressful situation," she said. "The staff is compassionate and caring."
For more information, call the HMC Anesthesia Department at 534-2529.

This was our first time on H/A. We had previously gone to Alaska with Princess. The food on H/A was definitely an improvement over Princess where presentation ruled and taste did not. Had the best lasagna I ever had on on the Veendam. Staff was just as your expect - excellent.
Dining room seemed disorganized the 1st 2 nights - open seating meant a 20-30 minute wait, and we asked to change to fixed seating.
Entertainment was very good. The singers - esp 2 of them - were outstanding. Juggler was quite good. It was mostly free of the juvenile bathroom & sexual humor that is so common. Violinist and accompanist were quite good.
Decor seemed a little dated, and all the pillows on the bed were quickly stashed in the closet; who wants to deal with that each night? Not me.
Excursions were a little disappointing - weather interferred with mt top view - fogged in. Guide to Peggy's Cove was excellent as was the tour of the Titanic graves. PC itself was cold and rainy and I wondered if it would equal its postcard look even on a beautiful day. Double deck bus tour in charlottetown was a total waste; guide was terrible. Couple behind us were about to leave tour when we stopped for the walking part - which was not guide-led but on your own. Very poor value. Very.
Transfers were done quickly. Sanitation keep us all well - emphasis on hand sanitation.
Disappointed that there was not more planned for day at sea. Offerings were repetitive. There were not the educational programs that we had with Princess to Alaska. Totally useless meeting for disembarkation took up time - it was given in printed form later.
Library & library area very pleasant but smoke from the casino seeped out and into library which was very annoying. Very.
We would travel with H/A again, finding the excellent food, less "edgy" entertainment, smaller ship to our liking.
Terrible pink double decker bus tour. Guide was vague & used "probably" as in "these houses are probably pre-1900." WE were about to get off as was another couple when tour mercifully ended. Also, tour is billed as 1 1/2 hr bus and walking tour; the walk is on your own.

I remember being really disappointed around now last year 'cause I had just discovered the firing line and then the closure announcement was made.
Glad we have made it almost a year!

Yep, thank you all moderators and other participants: without you, this forum would have been just hardware muttering to itself.
November 24, 2003, 09:44 PM
For the 24th I propose a toast (a fine single malt toast) to Oleg and the entire crew, 8000 plus strong, for one year of continuous celebration of freedom, friendship, controversy, information, discusion, solution, help, prayers, humor, tacticality and other worthwhile and unworthwhile things that do not offend Art's Grammaw; and the hope of many more years of the same.
November 24, 2003, 10:07 PM
and other worthwhile and unworthwhile things that do not offend Art's GrammawPARTY POOPER!!!
:neener: :p :D
November 24, 2003, 10:17 PM
Thanks Oleg & Company.
And a special thanks to Derek Zeanah.
November 24, 2003, 10:30 PM
Ok, I'll be the first one who hasn't been here since inception to stand up and say thank you and Happy Birthday.
In honor of such an auspicious occasion, I suggest we all try to get to the range next month and celebrate. To make it even better, try to bring a newbie into the sport, or someone who has been away for awhile, or at least expose someone to a new realm of the sport. Take a skeet shooter to the pistol range, take a deer hunter to the skeet range, take an EBR type to a CAS shoot. Do something for the sport.
Just a suggestion.

New Release of Open Virtual Client Desktop
The new version 2.0 of the virtual desktop solution Verde now comes with offline access. Manufacturer Virtual Bridges, together with IBM and Canonical, want to market the software as Open Virtual Client.
The three joined forces in May to combine products for another "Microsoft-free desktop." Canonical has brought Ubuntu as operating system into the project, IBM applications like Symphony and Notes and the Texan company Virtual Bridges is in with Verde. Verde stands for Virtual Enterprise Remote Desktop Environment. Verde enables the use of programs in a virtual desktop system, regardless of location, with applications stored on Linux servers. Version 2.0 will give users access to the desktop offline.
The offline access makes a new client hypervisor possible. This is based on a protocol that the makers call Self Managing Auto Replicating Technology- SMART. Virtual Bridges describes the function thus: The protocol synchronizes a replicated cache that runs with the server image on the client-side hypervisor. This is the same image used for VDI sessions.
Verde technology touches on the proprietary Win4Lin, a software that was developed around 20 years ago. Virtual Bridges are offering their virtual solution for Linux and Solaris and OpenSolaris and as a guest-system they supply support for both Linux and Windows.
Verde 2.0 is available immediately and prices make it clear who their target group is. 1000 places cost $50 each. The Win4Lan solution for Ubuntu costs on the manufacturers website almost $30.

Someone just referred to this in another thread about blueberries and milk
Blueberries and Milk Don't Mix: Study | All Star Health
Which is a pity as they go so well with dairy. And someone suggests that maybe other issues with antioxidants from fruit and veg being neutralized by proteins. Not at all surprising (and I suspect most fruit would have been munched while picking randomly during the day, not eaten with cooked meat anyway.)
So anyway - any other good tips on food combining for maximised nutrition? Like, I'm not going to obsess over it, but might as well get the most out of things.

Won't be posting again until Monday sometime...only two more "things" coming up then hopefully my life will be my own again, lol.

Won't be posting again until Monday sometime...only two more "things" coming up then hopefully my life will be my own again, lol.
Finally back. I am going to spend the next couple of days getting back on track...I've been eating lots of carbs and my cravings are telling me it's too much, so I'm going to concentrate on higher fat/lower carbs to get that back under control. I have a doctor's appointment on Thursday for which I will need to fast, so I'm just going to use that day to jump back in to alternate day fasting or a 5:2 type of fast.
Today so far:
5:15 am: 2 cal/mag chewables, 1 commuter mug of brewed decaf coffee with 2T org. HWC
6:30 am: 3 oz polska kielbasa; 1 cup decaf w/1 shot of expresso (at work) with 3 of those little tubs of Half & Half
11:30 am: 4.5 oz 85% grass fed ground beef w/1 slice of org. cheddar cheese; 1 cup of broccoli w/1T butter; 2 squares of a Lindt 90% cocoa bar
5:00 pm: fried liverwurst (don't ask--every time I eat liverwurst I think, I bet this would be good fried...so I tried it in a little garlic butter--it WAS good by-the-way); 3 mini coco-roons
Will also try to do some form of exercise when I get home...gotta get back on track with that too. EDIT: ended up walking the neighborhood for my first attempt at on-track.
Today will probably look similar to yesterday, but forgot to bring my broccoli to work and ran out of kielbasa, lol.
6:00 am: Iced coffee with HWC and sugar free syrup (liquid splenda)
7:30 am: 4 oz boneless/skinless chicken thigh; 1 square Lindt 90% and two tiny squares of Green & Black's 85%
11:15 am: 4.5 oz grass fed ground beef, 1 slice org. mild cheddar cheese
5:00 pm: 7 oz container Fage full fat yogurt with frozen organic cherries
Exercise: 7 minutes on the elliptical at work; 20 minutes strength work
Today is my annual wellness exam which will include bloodwork. I'm fasting for the testing so I'll just make this a down day and try to go as long as possible without eating. I'm still hungrier than normal and so haven't reached that appetite suppression I had hoped for but since I CAN'T eat for most of the morning, it's a good day to jump back in.
My doctor will be aghast at how much weight I've gained since the last time I saw her (last year)...not sure if I should tell her I've ALREADY lost 10-12 pounds, lol. But, I've made a lot of positive changes since the beginning of this year and I think she'll be pleased with that. I've also decided to cut back on my computer time, but quitting a Facebook game I was playing...this will give me TONS more time to do something active, lol. That may be as simple as cleaning the house, but it may also be some real activity. :p
The exam went well, and far from being aghast, my doctor was pleased that I had lost a nice part of the weight I gained last year. I'll probably get results in a day or two.
12:21 pm and haven't eaten yet...just lots of water.
3:30 pm: 3 oz liverwurst; 1 cup each broccoli and mushrooms sauteed in Kerrygold garlic herb butter; 2 cal/mag chewables
Phew, an up day today, yippee! :)
So far:
6:30 am: Iced coffee with org. HWC
7:30 am: org. chicken thigh (boneless/skinless)
[TC am]: 4.5 oz 85% org. grass fed ground beef, 1 slice org. mild cheddar, 1 cup org. broccoli w/butter
[TC pm]: unsure, never anything planned lately it seems
For some reason I am craving (mildly) junk food, lol. I'm not really sure what that's all about, but my grocery cart looked pretty strange today. :D I tried to make them healthier choices, but it's all junk nonetheless.
6:00 am: iced coffee w/HWC; Pamela's Everywhere Bar-Coconut/chocolate chip
12:00 pm: 8 oz flat iron steak, fresh mushrooms sauteed in Kerrygold garlic herb butter; fresh organic strawberries; a few BBQ Pop chips (really been craving something like chips); 1 square lindt 85% and 1 90%
6:00 pm: homemade "protein" shake
Slept great for about 5 hours then woke up at 2 a.m. and couldn't go back to sleep. Got up around 3:40, played a few games on the computer, straightened up the livingroom a bit, cooked all my lunches for the week and now just waiting for the Farmer's Market to open up so I can take my walk.
4:00 am: 1 container Coco Cafe Latte; 1/2 gluten free pretzel which wasn't much like a pretzel so threw the other half away and had a raw coconut macaroon instead.
8:50 am: Grande Caramel Ribbon Crunch Frappacino (I know)
12:30 pm: Flat Iron Steak; 1/2 avocado
4:40 pm: Fage full fat greek yogurt w/fresh organic strawberries & frozen organic blueberries w/1 T palm date sugar
Huh, I guess I didn't post yesterday...could have sworn I did, lol.
Anyway...I've really gotten off track with my eating since my vacations. I did really well right after I got back from the second one, but then the sugar cravings started back up again and stupid me, but I fed them and now they're worse. So for the rest of this week I'm going to try to keep the carbs, especially simple sugars, down and focus mainly on fats and to a lesser extent, proteins and veggies.
4:00 am: 2 cal/mag chewables (may cut these out for the rest of the week as my latest blood tests show good levels of calcium and these have sugar in them); 1 raw coconut macaroon
7:00 am: iced coffee with HWC; 4 oz (cooked) chicken thigh (boneless/skinless)
[TC]: 4 oz (cooked) 85% grass fed ground beef; 1/2 small Haas avocado; 1 cup broccoli w/ 1 pat butter
[TC]: dinner is undecided...I have an eye exam after work, so it will probably be something quick and weird, but higher in fat and lower in carbs/protein
Today will be much like yesterday...today's appointment after work is for a mammogram. My dinner yesterday ended up being bacon and cheese. :o Today it will probably be full fat greek yogurt with some low sugar fruit.

Nearly 33,000 Oklahomans have selected health plans under the federal Affordable Care Act.
The figure represents an 8,000-plus increase from last month's estimate of nearly 25,000, according to a report released Tuesday by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The federal agency reports that more than 4.2 million people from across the country had selected health plans from October through March 1. The agency says about 943,000 people enrolled in the federal marketplace plans during the February reporting period, which ended March 1.
March is the last month for open enrollment in the federal marketplace. About 640,000 Oklahoma residents, or 17 percent of the state's population, currently have no health insurance.

The presence of Seventh-day Adventist churches, offices, and institutions around the world has established a global recognition for the Church. Public perception concerning the worldwide family of Seventh-day Adventists is influenced by the lives of members, by the actions of each organization, by denominationally-identified services and programs, and by the maintenance of aesthetic appeal at all physical properties. The Church has adopted and registered, as a trademark, its official name and logo. All denominational organizations listed in the current Seventh-day Adventist Yearbook are authorized to use, for non-commercial purposes, the registered trademarks ("Seventh-day Adventists," "Adventist," "SDA," or any derivative of such; see GC BA 40 40) and logo, of the Church. The right to use the official name and logo of the Church is accompanied by an obligation to protect these against misuse and misrepresentation.
Technological advances have made it possible for a local entity of the Church to exhibit a global presence through a Web site. It is in the interest of the worldwide Church to provide guidance regarding how the Church is portrayed, and thus perceived, through a Web site. All denominational entities choosing to establish an online presence are expected to develop their Web sites within the scope of the following guidelines. Division executive committees may adopt additional guidelines respecting the content and operation of Web sites within the division territory.
These guidelines were voted by the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists Executive Committee at the Annual Council Session in Silver Spring, Maryland, October 10, 2006.
Las creencias adventistas tienen el propósito de impregnar toda la vida. Surgen a partir de escrituras que presentan un retrato convincente de Dios, y nos invitan a explorar, experimentar y conocer a Aquel que desea restaurarnos a la plenitud.

BOVINA - Springlake-Earth's two-headed monster of Colton Glasscock and Curt Bills was just too much for Bovina in a District 4-1A game.
The Wolverines (6-1, 2-0) racked up 432 of their 447 total yards on the ground. They held the Mustangs (3-4, 0-2) to 209 total yards.
Glasscock carried 18 times for 153 yards and scored touchdowns on runs of 28, 25 and 4 yards. Bills carried 9 times for 102 yards and scored touchdowns on runs of 35 and 4 yards. Bills also intercepted a pass and returned it 35 yards for a score.
Bovina put up 13 fourth-quarter points. Jonathan Chisom scored on a 3-yard run. Jeff Casas connected with B.J. Shepard on a 24-yard touchdown pass.

I got their name from SRP from their energy assessment program. Very detailed and much more than I expected for $99. They replaced my heat pump and added ceiling insulation. The install crew they sent was neat and polite. There was a noticeable difference after they finished.

Thank you so much for your business and for taking the time out of your day to share a review of your experience with the Magic Touch Mechanical Team - both are greatly appreciated! Sincerely, Rich Morgan, President. Magic Touch Mechanical, Inc.
Reviews: 1
The service tech was young but clearly competent as he found the issue with my cooling unit in short time, told me what my options where and made the repair. The service is what I define as exceptional, it was easy to make the appointment, they told me what to expect and when, and the service tech did what the scheduler told me I could expect. They didn't charge me for the travel fee because I used them to fix the cooling unit, which was a good touch.

Thank you so much for your kind words and your business, both are greatly appreciated! We're all delighted you are so pleased with our team! Sincerely, Rich Morgan, President - Magic Touch Mechanical, Inc.
I will call them again. More thorough than other technicians I've used in the past. He spent a lot of time going through both units and was very clear on his findings. Nice young man.

Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to earn your business, we are delighted you are so pleased with our service! Sincerely, Rich Morgan, President - Magic Touch Mechanical, Inc.
We are very happy with the new air conditioner and so far it cools much better than the last one. The owner of the company came personally and spent a lot of time explaining the differences between all the brands and features. All the other companies recommended "their" brand, but Rich (owner) gave us a lot of choices from many brands and only offered suggestions about what were the best options for our home (there are a lot more choices to make than what you might think there are). We liked that he didn't try to "sell" us and ultimately we chose a middle of the road option. So far we couldn't be happier with our choice of both company and air conditioner.

I just had this outfit replace my central cooling and heating systems. The cost was $350 higher than the other outfit I liked but they were willing to match the cost and I ultimately felt more comfortable having this one in my home. I know a thing or two about this field because of my line of work and this outfit was the most straight forward and honest about what I needed. I did my research and they are also one of the better rated outfits in this area. I figure it's only fair that I rate them as well for others looking for cooling and heating systems to see. They do good work and the service was good so I have no hesitations recommending using them.

Thank you so much for your business and for taking the time out of your day to share a review of your experience with our team on Kudzu, we greatly appreciate both! Sincerely, Rich Morgan, President - Magic Touch Mechanical
I got quotes from 4 different companies I found on this site as well as Angies List. The guy from Magic Touch, Rich who was also one of the owners spent way more time checking everything and pointed out what he found, even took pictures in my attic of all the vents. He was very patient showing me all the different brands and what the differences were. The crew who came out to install the one I chose was on time and professional. They did a good job and cleaned everything up to my satisfaction. The new heat pump is quiet and seems to work very well. I'm very happy with this company and their workers and would definitely refer them to other people.

Thank you ever so much for posting such a wonderful review on your experience with our team! It was a pleasure meeting you and earning your business. I told you we would make sure you were 100% delighted :). Seriously though, thanks again and remember, we will make sure to keep delivering a great experience as we provide service to your new comfort system over the coming years! Sincerely, Rich Morgan, President - Magic Touch Mechanical
I've had them make a lot of energy improvements to my house. They first did an audit of things that were wrong with my house causing me to pay very high power bills to srp. Since then they put in two new high efficient air conditioner-heat pumps, fixed the leaky air tubing, added new insulation in my attic and a few other things that needed to be fixed. They know what they're doing because my power bill went down by 40%. I liked the fact that they took a lot of time showing me what was wrong and didn't push me into paying for things I do not need. The cherry on top is before both of my daughters rooms were either too hot in the summer or too chilly in the winter and we were either freezing or sweating in our room to keep them comfortable. Now its even in every room. You cant do better then them in my opinion.

They did a check up of our fire place and were very thorough. My husband was reluctant thinking it wouldn't be worth the money but couldn't believe how clean it was when he got home from work. It was a good deal.

We're so pleased you are happy with the service we provided and that we were able to take your husband from reluctant to impressed! We look forward to continuing to exceed your expectations. Sincerely, Rich Morgan, President - Magic Touch Mechanical, Inc.
I gave it a few months to make sure there weren't problems with our new ac unit before writing a review. found this business here on kudzu along with 3 others when our 20 year old ac decided to breathe its last breath. we chose this business because they were the most informative and gave us a bunch of different options from low end to high end. we also liked that they had a few brands to choose from unlike 2 of the other companies who only had traine which we would never buy again. we went with their brand because of the price and warranty which were both better then the other options. the unit cools the house better then the old traine ever did and our power bill is down $90 a month less thenm it was last year. the only problem was the thermostat stopped working about a week after they put it in but they came out right away probably within an hour after I called. they said the thermostat was bad and replaced it for free under the warranty. we are going to have them replace the other traine unit this winter when it cools down and will get the same unit. we recomend magic touch.

We can't wait to complete the other half of your HVAC project this winter and make your home 100% efficient, comfortable and quiet! Sincerely, Rich Morgan, President - Magic Touch Mechanical, Inc.
It has been slightly over a year that we spent over $20k on a new system with Magic Touch based on their reputation. In that time they have come to work on the upstairs system over 10times. Each time saying there is not a problem, but obviously a properly working system should not require such continued maintenance. After the last episode I asked for the system to be replaced as there is obviously a systemic issue, I was told the system is working fine. Now here I sit again less than a month later with the same system down. Rich Morgan and team seem to think the mark of quality service is coming out to get your system back up on average every two months (Usually after a week of waiting), instead of a fix it once mentality. Rich likes to talk how he is all about customer service, but he has never return my direct calls to him to address this ongoing issue. Rather he tolls the internet managing his reputation through rebuttal rather than doing the right thing. Here we sit again in record breaking heat waiting to hear how long we have to wait to get our service back up while my wife and three toddlers swelter. I would avoid Magic Touch at all cost, Rich is all talk, no action, and his intentions are not honorable.

As I explained yesterday on the phone to you, the reason my wife and equal partner in the business returned your call and not myself, I was attending my Father's wake. In fact she excused herself to respond to you immediately...and you were yelling at her! She then excused herself AGAIN to speak with your wife. Per our conversation, we have scheduled for the Lennox Factory Technical Adviser to inspect your upstairs unit as it appears to be an intermittent electrical issue and during our last two courtesy follow up visits the equipment was running per manufacturer specifications.I've already expressed to you that I feel your review is terribly unfair as Magic Touch has been EXTREMELY responsive. While I expressed how much I understand your frustration that this unit has intermittently failed, it is unfair to single out myself and publicly make the comments you have regarding my honor! Mechanical and electrical equipment can fail and while it makes us no less unhappy than you when it does, a Magic Touch representative has responded quickly throughout. Even now when contractually, Magic Touch's warranty has expired, we are still sticking with you our client...I believe that is the very definition of honor! Sincerely, Rich Morgan, President - Magic Touch
It could've been easier to get an appointment, they were almost a week out booking a cleaning and check of my ac unit. Very responsive and good service as a whole though. Will use again. Would give five stars if they would have given me a same day or next day appointment.

4thStooge, Thank you so much for choosing Magic Touch and for taking the time to post a review of your experience with our team on Kudzu...both are greatly appreciated! Just so you know for next time: We always reserve spots this time of year for emergency service for people who have no cooling so we can get to them same day. We are able to do this by booking out non-emergency maintenance and cleanings out a few days to a week or so. Should you ever call us in an emergency with no air we can usually respond the same day to get you up and running right away. We are looking forward to earning that 5th star the next time you call on us! Thanks Again! Sincerely, Rich Morgan, President - Magic Touch Mechanical

After a horrific experience with another company, I called two more companies to make sure I didn't get burned again. The man from Magic Touch was polite, patient, and professional. He laid out all my options from a cheap fix which he called a "bandaid" to showing me how much a new heating and cooling system would cost. I really appreciated his time and concern as I'm on a fixed income and he didn't try to sell me items I didn't need but he didn't judge me and assume I couldn't pay for the "premium package". Ultimately I chose to go with the bandaid option for now because I want to plan to upgrade my home. I will certainly us this company when I do to because I can just tell they are a company that I can trust to treat me fairly. I can tell this is a wonderful company by the fact that they have people that really do care working for them.

We chose this company because they are listed on the APS list of contractors. The technicians spent a good amount of time looking through our system and then gave us a sales talk. They have priced everything in packages instead of giving you a list of every item and it's cost. For example, you can get the Deluxe package with all the repairs all the way to the Bare Minimum package to "get by". The Salesman was quite rude and condescending. When I complained about the pricing and it's structure, he let me know that his company wasn't for everyone and that they were for people who had more money. We paid the $75 for the so-called "tune-up" when they did absolutely NOTHING for that money, other than tell us we needed to spend more money. Very much a waste and a scam if you ask me.
Posted: 5/05/2014 • Link to this review
StonyCreek, we are very sorry you don't approve of the way our pricing structure is set. As can be seen by several hundred reviews from other clients, the majority like the options we give them and feel our pricing is fair. Per your own admission the technicians "spent a good amount of time looking through your system" and then presented you with options from the bare minimum to a complete overhaul...which you define as a "waste and scam". I'm unsure how "spending a good amount of time" checking out your HVAC equipment and then giving you multiple options to just "get by" or completely make sure it didn't give you any troubles is a waste or a scam...that's exactly what most consumers expect from an A+ rated HVAC Contractor. We do wish you the best of luck! Sincerely, Rich Morgan, President - Magic Touch Mechanical
It's a very rare occasion that I sit down to write a review for a service or product and am more likely to write one when a product stinks or a business treats me poorly then when the product or business is good but I have to share my encounters about this business. To say the people at this business provide great value and service is the understatement of the year. My first experience with them was for a repair years ago and I have been calling them ever since. They have installed two of my three heat pumps and most recently leak sealed my home and installed attic insulation. As usual the results are nothing shy of excellent but the icing on the cake is I just had a problem with my third furnace that they did not install related to a thermostat setting issue after my nephew decided to play know-it-all. The response time was excellent and they not only found the problem right away, they took the time and steps to show me how to avoid it happening again. Since they were already here I asked them to go ahead and do the checkups on the units. When I got the bill it was "No charge" and he said "we appreciate your business". I never expected that and I can tell you they will always be able to count on my referrals. Thank you Magic Touch Air Conditioning!!!!!!!

Lots of valuable information and well presented. This is a pretty long process (2 guys were here for about 4 hours) but it was worth the time and price for what they found and showed me. I appreciate that they weren't hard pressure sales and do genuinely seem to care. I haven't made a decision on which work to do but will definitely use them for the work.

Iowa State University's VEISHEA Task Force is planning another public meeting this weekend and then a final meeting next week.
The Task Force is exploring if and how the celebration can continue after a student was seriously hurt during a riot in CampusTown last month.
The next meeting is planned Sunday at 6-8 p.m. at the Ames City Hall council chambers at 515 Clark Ave. The meeting will be available to watch on a live webcast through ISU.
The last meeting is scheduled for May 13 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at the ISU Alumni Center ballroom.
Organizers said viewers can submit comments in real time or send feedback directly to the task force.
The Task Force is meeting on Thursdays now through June 19. It is expected to deliver a report to President Steven Leath in late June.

S&W model 25-5 question
Tools and Technologies
Handguns: Revolvers
> S&W model 25-5 question
April 20, 2007, 09:47 PM
OK S&W N frame experts, can any of ya'll tell me if the S&W model 25-5 will reliably handle "Ruger Super Blackhawk only" (i.e. hot .45 Colt) loads?
If you enjoyed reading about "S&W model 25-5 question" here in TheHighRoad.org archive, you'll LOVE our community. Come join
today for the full version!
April 20, 2007, 10:05 PM
Reliably as in long term use? I wouldn't try it. I don't think the N-frame is delicate, but I do believe the Ruger is very strong.
April 20, 2007, 10:09 PM
the 25-5 is a fine revolver, but its not made for those hot loads, still a great gun with factory loads or std pressure loads, why hot rod the 45 lc any way? step up to the 44 mag or 454 csa
April 20, 2007, 10:36 PM
The cylinder walls are too thin for the high pressure loads. The locking notches are cut directly over the chambers leaving very little metal.
Deer Hunter
April 20, 2007, 11:35 PM
Standard pressure loads, such as 255 SWC at 1100 FPS for a steady diet would do just fine. If you go above it, don't make it a habbit. The particular N frame wasn't meant for .454 levels.
April 21, 2007, 12:08 AM
Check this site out and see what Mr John Linbaugh has to say about this.
April 21, 2007, 01:25 AM
I am suprised at the lack of heat treament. Good to know.
April 21, 2007, 04:06 AM
Be very careful with loading them hot.
April 21, 2007, 10:24 AM
The great thing with .45 Colt is it's versatility. I am already setup to load this caliber and have a few revolvers chambered for it. I am just looking to add more revolvers to my collection and want something that can handle any of my hand loads. I suppose a Colt Anaconda or Dan Wesson would probably do the trick but I would like S&W represented as well.
The Lone Haranguer
April 22, 2007, 05:33 PM
The word according to the gun scribblers (and this is a few years old) is that the Ruger Blackhawk-only starting loads should be the absolute maximum load in the Smith, and then not too many of those.
April 22, 2007, 05:51 PM
Look up what John Linebaugh has to say on the subject:
I loaded mine to .45 ACP+P levels without reservation.
April 22, 2007, 07:21 PM
If anybody wants some questions about 25-5's, Colts, Rugers and other clones answered by John Linebaugh himself, as well as test some of the firearms he makes (and test out your own big bore guns), then you might check out the Linebaugh Big Bore Seminar coming to Carthage, Illinois, May 18, 19 and 20, 2007. Information can be found (for last years event but the theme is the same at http://www.carthagegunclub.com/Linebough06.htm )
The contact information is still good.
I tried this one year and literally and figuratively had a blast. :D They started me out with what they said was a 'light' Linebaugh load in .500 Linebaugh. No problems with that one. Then they let me try a 'heavy' load.
I survived, but my hand felt it for about a half hour. :rolleyes: I am used to double actions as opposed to single actions, but I still hit the 'charging bear' twice in a couple seconds as it went the 25 yard distance with a SAA in .500 Linebaugh. Amazing! :D
Seriously, this is some cool stuff they have, do and learn. If you can make it, come.
The Doc is out now. :cool:
April 23, 2007, 10:59 AM
A steady diet of Hot Ruger loads will shoot your 25-5 loose after a while.
Mine gets a steady diet of 9 grains of Unique under a 255 grain Hard Cast Kieth or LBT sytle bullet for a little over 1000 fps, and this will never shot your gun loose.
Nothing in the Lower 48 that this won't put down if shot placement is correct.

Again National Rental Car did an outstanding job. The staff was friendly and professional, the car I picked out was clean and ready to go. I do have a complaint- At the time of picking up my car the agent informed me that National Rental Car will be putting a $300 hold on my card. This was in addition to the rental charges. This charge was for all Michigan drivers. When I turned the car in, I asked about this charge and was told this is done to encourage local drives to rent cars from other locations than the airport. NRC wants to maintain their fleet of cars for out of town guests and business travelers. If this is the policy going forward, then the local Enterprise locations, need to do a better job of being open on the weekends, and supplying vehicles. I support the auto industry and when I travel, I need a specific Make of vehicle. I certainly can't drive a Chrysler to a GM plant, or a GM to a Ford plant. Enterprise can't guarantee any make or model when making a reservation. It is best effort only. The make of vehicle may not be available with a local office that has a much smaller inventory of cars. Finally, the airport NCR is the only location in the Detroit Metro area. My rating is for the local staff and service they provide.

The National program, Emerald Club, is a very good program as I like to close my car. The Detroit National location at best is mediocre.bCars are always dirty. Windows never clean inside or out. Always some sort of trash still in the car. I use them as I like to pick the type of car I drive. Hertz does a much better job of providing a clean car. Nationals point program is also on the weak side as it takes a full year of renting almost every week to get enough free days for a vacation rental. Also, their promotion 1-2-Free never appears on your statement you have to call to see what you have earned and you can't combine it with other free days earned. I understanding is free however almost better not to offer if it inconveniences the customer. Lastly I am executive elite with National. Doesn't mean much. Everyone who gets off the bus in Detroit gets to pick any car in any aisle, even executive rows, if a member of the Emerald Club. But if you are hung up on picking the type of car you want to drive, like me, you use National n
I use National rental car as part of my company's preferred car rental service and am an emerald club member. All of my rentals thus far have been good, except for the last time out of Detroit (at DTW). I rented a car that was clean but had a very strong and unpleasant odor. It may have been that a customer smoked in the car but I should have noticed that at a late night pickup of a rental, with this car being the only car left out of all mid-size sedans, there was something negative about it and people were staying away for a reason. This was a rental that I had to keep the windows slightly open while highway driving to keep from becoming ill. For vehicles like these, I would prefer for National to take them out of the rotation until the they could be further cleaned. Overall, National has been a good provider of rental cars for me and makes the process near seamless (i.e., straight from the shuttle bus to the car and on return, from the car to the shuttle bus... no office visit required).

A 32-year-old education strategist who has worked in the public school systems in Newark, N.J., and New York City was introduced Wednesday by Gov. Christie as superintendent of Camden's now-state-run school system.
If approved by the New Jersey Board of Education, as expected, Paymon Rouhanifard would become Camden's new schools chief just in time for the start of classes Sept. 9. This will be the district's first school year under full state control.
Rouhanifard, who was working as chief strategy and innovation officer for the Newark public schools before Christie named him to Camden, will report to state Education Commissioner Chris Cerf and not the local school board.
