Hey, guys! I'm a long time lurker, first time poster. I was wondering, though, since I like revolver carbines so much for some reason, if anybody had thought to put a longer (18"-20") barrel on an xvr and add a stock? The only way to add a stock I could think of (not knowing much about xvr's :rolleyes: ) is to have a stock/grip in one piece... I know that modifying in this way would probably require a tax stamp... Just some thoughts. Appreciate any feedback!
God bless,
God bless,

Big Brother and Big Sister Baby Showers
A baby shower is a big celebration for the expectant parents and grandparents. If this is not the first child in the family it is also for an older sibling.
It is fun to include the older sibling in the shower if the child is old enough. It is a great way to get the child excited about the arrival of a little brother or little sister. Keep in mind that there needs to be activities that include the older sibling and some foods that they will enjoy. The older sibling will feel great and see how exciting it will be to have the addition to their family. This is a time of many questions for the brother or sister-to-be and many of their questions will be answered by having them take part in the baby shower.
Let them take part in the planning of your baby shower. They can help you with decorating, making cookies or cupcakes and treats, and planning the games. Kids love parties, so this baby shower will be an extra-special day for the big brother or big sister. Buy a "big sis" t-shirt or a "big brother" baseball cap for son or daughter to wear at the party. They'll feel like a part of the party. Depending on the age of your son or daughter, you may want to bring paper and crayons, a new toy or handheld toys for the older child. The "mingling" part of the party usually isn't very fun for them and having an activity will help.
Have the big brother or big sister sit next to you during the unwrapping of the gifts. He/she can read the card out loud and even help in unwrapping the gifts. Presents are fun - let them help in this part of the party.
What a great family experience you will create by having the older brother or sister at your baby shower. As your family grows, you will grow closer.

JERUSALEM, Israel -- The Lebanese government is responsible for Sunday's murder of an Israeli soldier by a Lebanese Army sniper, Israel's Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon said.
Israel Defense Forces St.-Sgt. Major Shlomi Cohen, 31, who was shot while traveling in an army vehicle not far from an IDF outpost on the northern border, will be buried Monday afternoon in Haifa.
"The IDF officially confirms that an IDF soldier was shot while driving along the Israeli-Lebanese border, near Rosh Hanikra. The soldier was treated at the scene and then evacuated to a hospital. He later died of his wounds," the IDF Spokesman's Office said in a statement.
The incident took place Sunday evening around 8:30 p.m. On Monday, delegations from the IDF and the Lebanese army will meet with UNIFIL peacekeeping forces to investigate early reports that the sniper acted independently.
Ya'alon said Lebanon must take accountability for what happens "on their side of the border."

text: After the worst happens, how does a mother go on? Struggling to cope following the death of her young daughter, author Hood found solace in knitting, in her family (13-year-old son Sam, husband Lorne and 2-year-old Annabelle, whom they adopted from China) and in writing this sentimental yet acutely moving novel. The book also deals with a child's death: Mary Baxter's Stella is felled by meningitis. So immobilized by grief that she can no longer read or write, Mary joins a knitting group in her hometown of Providence, R.I. Each member of the group turns out to have her own sorrowful tale, and the women's tragedies unfurl one by one, like skeins of yarn rolling down a slope. The plot ultimately becomes predictable, but Hood never lets her characters slip into cliché. In heartfelt, unfussy prose, she allows the harsh realities of their hurt to shine through.

Free Starlix
By DJ Bean | WEEI.com Blog Network
The takeaway from Brandon Lloyd's performance Sunday was obvious: It was his best game as a Patriot. Free starlix In reality, free starlix it was actually among the best receiving performances of the Tom Brady era, free starlix and one that had never even been turned in by Randy Moss in his time with the Pats.
Considering how Lloyd's first season in New England had gone up until Sunday night's matchup with the 49ers, free starlix the bar wasn't exactly set extremely high. Free starlix He'd been thrown to plenty — at least five targets in all but two games, free starlix seven or more targets in eight games and 12 or more in three games — but through his first 13 games as a Patriot, free starlix the former first-round pick had just two performances with 70 yards or more.
Lloyd more than exceeded whatever lowered expectations the last 13 games may have brought, free starlix turning in a gargantuan 10-reception, free starlix 190-yard performance on a night in which Brady went his way 16 times. Free starlix Lloyd didn't score a touchdown against the 49ers (he still has just four on the season), free starlix but he played an integral role in the Patriots coming back from 28 points down in the second half. Free starlix In particular, free starlix Lloyd's 53-yard reception with the Patriots on their own 18 yard line put the Pats in striking distance to set up Danny Woodhead's game-tying touchdown.
Lloyd also came up with a 24-yard grab on 4th-and-4 with the Pats down by 10 late to set up Stephen Gostkowski's field goal. Free starlix The performance was one Patriots fans shouldn't soon forget, free starlix and not just because it was a coming out party for the highly touted free agent signee. Free starlix Lloyd's 190 receiving yards are significant, free starlix as they stand as the third-most in a single game for the Pats once since Brady took over for Drew Bledsoe in the 2001 season.
Wes Welker has topped 190 yards twice for the Patriots, free starlix turning in a 16-catch, free starlix 217-yard performance in last season's 34-31 loss to the Bills, free starlix as well as catching 15 passes for 192 yards on Nov. Free starlix 22, free starlix 2009 in a 31-14 win over the Jets.
Obviously, free starlix receiving yards aren't the only means of judging a great receiving performance, free starlix as Rob Gronkowski literally has a dozen multi-touchdown games under his belt that outshine Lloyd's game against the 49ers. Free starlix Still, free starlix Lloyd was brought in to be a vertical threat capable of producing big plays and big yards, free starlix and he did so Sunday in a way that's rarely been seen even in this offense. Free starlix Here's a look at some of the biggest receiving performances of the Brady era for the Pats in terms of yards (meant to be a top-10 sort of list, free starlix but the apparent inability to correctly count to 10 on my part means it's now a top-13 list):

Isaac Hanson, the oldest member of the brother band Hanson, was hospitalized in Texas with a pulmonary embolism, his rep said Wednesday.
Hanson, 26, was admitted to Baylor University Medical Center after suffering severe shoulder and chest pains after a Tuesday night show in Dallas, says rep Ken Phillips.
"He underwent several tests throughout the night and has been diagnosed with pulmonary embolism" – a clot in a blood vessel, says Phillips. "Isaac is currently undergoing treatment and will be re-evaluated shortly by doctors."
After his hospitalization, first reported by the Tulsa World, the band's show in Tulsa, Okla., was canceled.
In April, Hanson became a first-time dad. He and wife Nicole welcomed son Clarke Everett in Tulsa.
Hanson and the former Nicole Dufresne, 22, wed last year.

Perhaps the recent news of a Yankees' push to sign Manny Ramirez wasn't without reason. According to various sources, highly touted first baseman Mark Teixeira plans to unveil his decision on which team to sign with in the next day or so. While the choices narrowed down don't include the Yankees, they do happen to involve a certain team with the letter 'B' on their caps.
Teixeira is known to have eight-year offers, of varying financial value, from the Angels, Red Sox, Orioles and Nationals. Ravech includes among the interested teams the Yankees, who are not believed to have yet made an offer, and indicates that the Orioles have a strong attraction for Teixeira, who is originally from Annapolis, Md.Examiner.com is ruling the Orioles out per a recent broadcast on ESPN.
ESPN's Peter Gammons suggests Teixeira's choices for 2009 are narrowed down between the Boston Red Sox and Washington Nationals. Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports followed the news last night via a live blog, found here.
Is it safe to say the Yankees are out of the Teixeira sweepstakes (even though they were never really in it)? Do you think it's possible the Yanks will come out of nowhere with an earth-shattering offer? Weigh in below.

CUs to be included in New Jersey bank fee study
HIGHTSTOWN, N.J. - The Fed's bank fee study might be a dead issue, but it's alive and well in New Jersey. Not only that, the state Department of Banking and Insurance has agreed to include all New Jersey credit unions in its next survey of banking fees which is due to be published in July. Last year, Gov. Christine Whitman asked the DBI to conduct a survey of banking fees across the state. That recently released survey did not include credit unions. Since that time, Credit Union Affiliates of New Jersey contacted the department to ensure that credit unions would be included in future studies. We thank the Department of Banking and Insurance for working with CUANJ to make sure credit unions are included in the statewide survey of banking fees, said CUANJ President/CEO Russell Clark. Peter Yeager, director of government and public affairs for CUANJ commented that with credit unions now included, consumers will have a complete picture of serviced offered by the financial services industry in New Jersey. - email@example.com

Richard Li to Buy ING's Hong Kong Unit
ING Groep NV will sell insurance assets in Hong Kong, Macau and Thailand to Richard Li, a son of Asia's richest man, for 1.64 billion euros ($2.14 billion) as local buyers seek to profit from the dismantling of one of Europe's largest financial companies.
Pacific Century Group, controlled by Li, will buy the insurance and pension units in a sale that values the life businesses at 24.3 times estimated 2012 earnings and 1.9 times estimated book value of 865 million euros, according to a statement from ING today. Amsterdam-based ING said it's expecting a net gain of about 1 billion euros from the sale.
For ING, which was forced to sell its entire insurance operations after Dutch bailouts in 2008-09, it's the second disposal in Asia after agreeing to sell its Malaysian business to AIA Group Ltd. for $1.7 billion last week. ING must still sell insurance units in Japan and South Korea, where valuations will be lower given they are in slower-growing markets than those already sold, analysts say.
"This is another good deal," said Dirk Peeters, a Brussels-based analyst at KBC Securities. "The question is, which assets will stick to ING's fingers in the end? If you sell country by country, it's logical the first parts fetch better prices."
ING dropped 1.8 percent to 7 euros at 1:30 p.m. in Amsterdam, valuing the company at about 26.8 billion euros.
Asian Deal
The shares are still up about 21 percent since the close on Aug. 29, when the company announced the sale of ING Direct Canada. That has outpaced the 8.2 percent gain in the 33-company Stoxx Europe 600 Insurance index over the same period.
Cheung Kong Holdings Ltd., the flagship company of Richard Li's father, Li Ka-shing, fell 0.7 percent to 113.50 Hong Kong dollars.
HSBC Holdings Plc is advising Li on the ING deal. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. are advising ING.
The purchase by Li, 45, is the biggest insurance deal in Asia since Chow Tai Fook Nominee Ltd., controlled by billionaire Cheng Yu Tung, bought a $2.5 billion stake in Ping An Insurance Group Co. in March last year.
Required Sales
ING is required to sell its insurance and investment-management businesses before the end of 2013 after getting 10 billion euros of state aid during the financial crisis. While executing the imposed divestment program, ING is also selling banking assets to help speed up repayment of 4.5 billion euros it owes.
Deleveraging among a sample group of 58 European Union banks, including ING, has reached more than $600 billion from the third quarter of 2011 through the end of June, the International Monetary Fund said in a report earlier this month.
European banks may need to sell as much as $4.5 trillion in assets by the end of next year should policy makers fall short of pledges to stem the fiscal crisis, an increase from an estimated $3.8 trillion in April, the IMF said in a report published on its website last week.
In the last two months, ING announced an agreement to sell its Canadian online bank for $3.16 billion and disposed of its U.K. internet business and a 33 percent stake in China Merchants Fund, an investment-management joint venture. The company also raised about $3 billion last month by selling 54 million shares of Virginia-based Capital One Financial Corp.
The company's Asian insurance and asset-management businesses had a combined book value of 6.6 billion euros at the end of June, the company said on Sept. 27.
Korea, Japan
ING said the sale process for its remaining insurance units in the region is continuing. The transaction announced today is expected to close in the first quarter, it said.
The Dutch company may have to sell its "mature, slow-growing" Korean unit at 0.8 times book value, JPMorgan analysts Michael Huttner and Ashik Musaddi said in a note today. That's less than half the valuation for today's deal.
ING's entire Asian disposal plan may break even, the JPMorgan analysts said, even if the Japanese unit and its money-losing variable-annuity business are sold at half the book value of 2.1 billion euros.
Li Family
Today's deal follows Richard Li's purchase of PineBridge Investments LLC, a $68 billion investment manager, from American International Group Inc. in 2010. Li's Pacific Century Group completed the $500 million purchase as AIG sold assets to repay a $182.3 billion U.S. government bailout.
Li Ka-shing has pledged financial support for his youngest son's ambitions.
"With the money from his dad, it's sensible for Li to make more of these acquisitions going forward," Benjamin Tam, who helps manage about $1.5 billion at IG Investment Ltd. in Hong Kong, said before the announcement. "He has personal passion for the financial industry and had exposure in the insurance sector."
Richard Li sold his stake in Hong Kong insurer Pacific Century Insurance Holdings Ltd. to Fortis, the Belgian-Dutch financial-services company now called Ageas, in 2007.
As chairman of technology firm PCCW Ltd., Richard Li also runs HKT Trust and HKT Ltd., as well as property developer Pacific Century Premium Developments Ltd.

CHIANG RAI, Thailand - Chiang Rai, in the northernmost province of Chiang Rai, is one of the oldest towns in Thailand. It is bordered by Myanmar (Burma) on the north and Laos on the east. The area is very mountainous and rugged. But the soil is fertile and water is plentiful. These factors combined with a favorable climate allow the area to produce large quantities of maize, beans, lychees, tobacco and strawberries. My husband and I found during a visit to Thailand that even though the country is fighting poverty, the people are able to eat well due to the bounty of the land.
King Mangrai founded Chiang Rai in 1262, five years after the first capital of Thailand, Sukothai was established. In 1648, the area was invaded and overtaken by Burma and controlled by the Burmese until about 1786. At that time Thailand was known as Siam.
Chiang Rai is an interesting place for visiting. However, because of its remoteness and political unrest among its neighbors, most people prefer to visit as part of an organized group. My husband and I traveled with a small group of people of diverse nationalities. We were accompanied by a Thai guide.
Article Photos
Thailand is an interesting and exotic vacation destination, but because of unrest in the country it is best to travel in a group. It is also a good idea to travel with a local guide.
The town of Chiang Rai is best used as a base for exploring the surrounding area. We saw little in the actual town to occupy visitors. However, outside of town there are temples, hill tribe villages and beautiful scenery.
The hill tribes of Thailand are found in the mountains around Chiang Rai, Mae Sai (the northernmost town in Thailand and border crossing into Myanmar, formerly Burma), and Mae Chan. These tribes fled into Thailand to escape persecution in their various homelands such as China and Tibet.
Because of their diverse origins, each tribe has its own customs, religion, language and dress. If you are able to visit during a festival or time when the members of the tribes are dressed in traditional garb, it is a colorful and fascinating sight.
However, most tribe members have adopted western dress and appear in jeans, shorts or cotton dresses. There are older members of the tribes who will appear in traditional dress. They normally dress for visitors and ask to be paid for allowing their pictures to be taken. It is a way for them to add to the income of the village. In a country where poverty is a major problem, any money that can be earned for the tribe helps.
Otherwise, the hill tribes live following many of their old customs. The most notable exceptions are western dress and the presence of television. Every village we visited had at least one antenna attached to a tree or a hut.
Because of the extreme differences in language and customs, it is really more comfortable to have a knowledgeable guide to help make the experience more meaningful and to help visitors avoid insulting the residents of the villages. It's also important to have someone to act as interpreter. We had an excellent guide but since each tribe has its own language, even he couldn't interpret at all of the villages. Much of the time, we had to depend upon smiles and gestures for communication.
The tribes have musical names such as Meo, Karen, Yao, Lisu, Lahu and Akha. We visited one Akha village that was situated on the top of the mountain. The view was spectacular and breezes swept through the village keeping it cool and comfortable. The houses were built on short stilts so that the livestock could safely stay under the houses at night.
We later visited an Akha market situated along the road. Upon arrival, we were immediately offered a sample of "Chinese Whiskey". Since it was early morning the thought didn't appeal and later I was grateful I had not succumbed to curiosity. When we arrived at the stand that sold the bottled whiskey, we found that it was in huge jugs and each jug had a creature such as a hefty snake, massive centipede or other huge reptile or bug in it. I guess it's not for everyone.
Trekking is a popular past time for visitors in northern Thailand. Again, it is recommended that you work with a reputable company if that is your interest. Treks are made by foot or by elephant. If you'd like to travel by elephant but only for a short distance, there are various places to arrange a short ride.
Northern Thailand and the Chiang Rai area are beautiful places to visit. However, because of poverty, diverse cultures, political unrest in Thailand as well as neighboring countries and the proximity to abundant drugs and drug trafficking, it is an area with problems as well. The King and Queen of Thailand are trying very hard to help the tribes develop an income to replace that made from raising and selling drugs but it is a difficult fight. It is such a beautiful place and the people so charming that I hope the battle can be won.

from GMA:
The gunman who opened fire in a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wis., and killed six people has been identified as Wade Michael Page, an Army veteran who left the service with a less than honorable discharge.
Page, 40, served in the Army from April 1992 through October 1998. He was separated from the Army with a less than honorable discharge and had been demoted from sergeant to specialist during his service.
While in the Army Wade served as a sergeant, and later as a specialist based in Ft. Bliss in Texas and at Ft. Bragg in North Carolina. Wade's job was as a Hawk missile system repairman, and he then became a psychological operations specialist, defense official confirmed to ABC news.
Page was shot and killed in an exchange of gunfire with a police officer who sustained "eight or nine" gunshot wounds, authorities confirmed. Officials are treating it as a case of domestic terrorism.

The colors of a vibrant and radiant fall are here. In reading and looking over recipes for this week's column, color did come to mind. These hearty yet healthy recipes for comfort foods and apples let you bring the season into the kitchen.
You often hear the phrase "it's all in the presentation." The Savory Biscuit Bubble Ring combines an impressive presentation with a variety of flavors. The golden brown bread has red and green bell peppers intertwined with parmesan cheese, onion and bacon. It's an excellent accompaniment to a bowl of soup.
Chunky Chicken & Pasta Soup comes from the recipe book "Skinny Soups." This colorful soup is quick, easy to make, can be refrigerated for 2-3 days and comes in at 190 calories for a 1-cup serving.
Apples are a sure sign that autumn is in the air. Caramel Apple Cobbler makes a quick, simple and grand finale, and you don't even have to peel any apples. Chunky applesauce is the trick.
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 pound skinless chicken breast cut into ½-inch cubes
3-1/2 cups chicken broth, divided
1 medium to large onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 large green pepper, diced
1/2 red pepper, diced
1 14-16 ounce can tomatoes, including juice
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
2 ounces uncooked vermicelli or thin spaghetti, broken into 2-inch lengths
In large saucepan or Dutch oven, combine oil and chicken over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until chicken has changed color and begun to brown, about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside. Add 2 tablespoons of chicken broth to pan, stir to combine with oil. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until tender. Add peppers, cook until tender. If liquid evaporates, add a bit more broth. Add tomatoes and remaining broth, breaking up tomatoes with a spoon. Add reserved chicken along with seasoning. Stir to mix well. Bring to boil. Stir in pasta. Lower heat and boil gently 12 to 17 minutes or until pasta is tender. This soup keeps 2-3 days in the refrigerator.

½ cup grated parmesan cheese
¼ cup finely chopped green pepper
¼ cup finely chopped red pepper
¼ cup finely chopped onion

¼ to ½ cup melted butter
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Generously grease a 12-cup fluted tube pan. In large bowl combine bacon, cheese, pepper and onion and mix well.
Separate dough into 20 biscuits. With scissors, cut each biscuit into quarters, place in bowl with bacon-cheese mixture. Toss well. Arrange mixture in greased pan, drizzle with melted butter. Bake at 350 for 28-38 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately invert onto serving plate, remove pan. Serve warm. Makes approximately 10 servings.

Medical students and junior residents are given a list of various "must-read" notes, books, or syllabi at the beginning of their rotations in neurology. Most of these books are either extensive neuroanatomical texts or texts solely concentrating on clinical management. Unfortunately, very few books are available that try to bridge the gap between basic neuroanatomy/neurophysiology and advanced clinical management. Dr Tarulli's Neurology: A Clinician's Approach aims to bridge that gap, and I think that he has succeeded in doing so.

I get that you really are jizzing for her, but you have a ridiculous and inflated sense of what she has done for skating's popularity in the USA. You spouted off a few days ago about all her endorsements. When some people in the USA said the only one they'd seen was the United commercial (it's the only one I've seen in the USA too) you of course had no answer.
Gracie MAY be the next big thing, but she hasn't arrived popularity wise just because she won nationals. To the average American she is still no one and she has a long road ahead before she reaches a Kwan or even Cohen level in terms of recognition. .
Gold came 5th at Worlds, when a medal was certainly attainable for her (especially given how much Kostner bombed). She has one US National title. Compared to Michelle, she is unbelievably basic.
It doesn't help that she got the most obnoxious NBC fluff piece.
Please do not include explicit sexual references in posts. GS is G-rated board.
Can someone please point out some choreography in Gracie's FS. I watched it last night from US nationals and I can't find anything. It's upsetting to me because I watched Yulia improve her expressiveness through some pretty heavy choreo all season long yet never hear Gracie criticized for it. I'm just not seeing many expressive movements coming from her. If anyone can point some out that would be helpful. Sky_fly20 you need to chill because I'm beginning go think you alone are beginning to turn me against Gracie. I'm not going to let that happen because she is such a sweet girl and a vast talent but she to me should be ranked lower than Anna P who won an GP gold and Bronze ...at least in terms of hype.
Back to thread topic I suspect Figure Skating to grow in popularity nearly everywhere except America. I'm hoping for Polina to skate well but she has no personality that I can post about unlike every baby Russian who carries a story and attitude. It might help if the US could develop a talent that doesn't get repackaged by a coach but instead talent that a coach can emphasis the packaging! The fact that I am a young American who pulls for Russians may speak volumes. Then again maybe not because I find Nationalism to be the distant cousin of Racism and not for me. The reason figure skating is so great in Japan is because they tend to welcome foreign skaters and some even become their dedicated fans. Japanese Fans

OTISVILLE, Michigan –- LakeVille schools officials hope a decision to split its bond proposal into two pieces will produce better results Feb. 28.
After voters last year rejected a single $11.2 million bond, officials have opted to offer two ballot proposals for a pair of 15-year bonds.
The first is a .9 mill levy that would raise $7.5 million for a variety of projects, including roof replacements at three district buildings, energy upgrades and new surveillance systems at all school buildings and the bus garage.
The second proposal is a .65 mill levy that would raise $4.1 million to build a 500-seat auditorium and add a 35-space parking lot.
"Separation of the proposals gives citizens an opportunity to
vote for either, or both proposals," she said.
If approved, a $5 million federal loan the district received from the Qualified Zone Academy will result in a significantly lower interest rate for the projects, Luoma said.
The district also reduced the original $880,000 price tag on athletic stadium renovations by trimming the number of track lanes and upgrading bleachers without new seats.
Otisville resident Robert Jennings said he wants to see both proposals approved.
"There are so many things involved in it. With the the way the economy is, it's scary. Every school is in a financial bind, especially LakeVille," Jennings said. "The community needs it, and so do the students. We're a very large school district for square mile, but other than that we are a small school. People don't realize the cost of building a school is going up."
Students in the LakeVille school district also hope the bond issue will be passed in order to help with the track and the bleachers.
Eighth-grade cheerleader Taylor Mack, 13, said one of the reasons she hopes the track gets fixed to make cheerleading on the track easier.
"We haven't had a track meet at home for seven years because the track is so bad," Mack said. "We really need a new track."

MARTINSBURG - The football season begins Friday for Martinsburg and Musselman.
Though it's not starting for current players, but for players of the past.
Former Martinsburg and Musselman football players will play in the second-annual Musselman vs Martinsburg football game 7 p.m. Friday at Coburn Field.
"It gives the players a chance to play together that never would have gotten this chance," said David Bishop, who is the main organizer for the event. "Once you're a Bulldog, you're always a Bulldog. Once you're an Applemen, you're always an Applemen.
"Now all of these young guys and old guys are getting together, representing their schools. We want to do this every year."
Gates open at 6 p.m., and kickoff is scheduled for an hour later.
The game is being put on by a company based in California called Gridiron Alumni. It travels around the country putting on alumni football games, pitting rivals against each other. Gridiron Alumni also supplies the equipment for each team.
Admission into the game is $10 for adults, $5 for students, senior citizens and military personnel. Children 5 and younger get in free.
A portion of the admissions funds will go to Gridiron Alumni and the other portion will go toward Martinsburg athletics.
All concession stand and merchandise-apparel funds at the gate go to Martinsburg, as well.
Each team will have close to 40 players suited up and ready to play under the lights.
This isn't flag-football. This is true tackle football.
If each team has at least 40 players, each quarter will be 15 minutes long. If not, each will be 12 minutes in duration.
Rules will be nearly identical to high school football, except for a few differences, such as the teams will only be allowed to rush linemen on the quarterback, not all defensive players.
There is an age range on each team as well.
"Ages are going to range, from kids who are 20 years old up to guys who are 40 years old," he said. "There will be a large range of players."
Eric Chrisman and Bishop, who are playing for Musselman and Martinsburg respectively, are the main organizers who put the teams together.
For Musselman, some notable alumni playing are Tommy Shelton and Clay Grove from the early 90s Applemen teams. Some more recent players are Daniel Derito and Shantel Jackson, who will play quarterback.
Three of the players on the Martinsburg team have yet to completely step away from the football field.
Steve Roach, who played at Penn State, Britt Sherman and Buddy Hesen, who are all now coaches for Martinsburg football, will be playing Friday night.
Tyler Winston and Tyshawn Smith from the past three championship teams will also be playing for the Bulldogs.
Dustin Peters, Jadz Harrison and Jordan Mason are other recent Bulldogs who will be playing.
Bishop and Sherman will take turns coaching the Martinsburg squads, one coaching while the other is on the field.
Bishop could only speak for Martinsburg when talking about practicing for the game, but he said the team has been practicing 2-3 times a week over the last three months.
Last year the alumni football game was held at Shepherd University. Martinsburg won 21-7
Bishop and others involved with the game hope to have this not only be an annual event between these two teams, but also get other alumni teams involved.
"Last year was a major success," Bishop said. "Depending on how this year turns out, we'd definitely like to do this every year. It brings communities back together and gives the younger guys a chance to play with the older guys. We want to do this every year.
"We want to (get other schools involved). We would definitely like to get Hedgesville and Jefferson involved and maybe even each year play a different team. That would be the ultimate goal."
Entertainment will also be provided by alumni of the high schools. There will be alumni bands and cheerleaders participating in the game as well. Bishop hopes that each team, and the crowd, has a good time, but knows both teams will want to win.
"Both teams want to win," Bishop said. "We're definitely playing to win. On the field we'll hit each other. But as soon as the game's over we'll shake hands and be laughing and talking. We'll all probably go out to eat after the game."
Another goal for all of the dads involved in the game is getting the chance for their children to see them in action on the field.
After the game, a defensive and offensive player of the game will be announced. They will receive Buffalo Wild Wings and Outback Steakhouse gift cards.
On Facebook, the Gridiron Alumni owner created a page of the Musselman vs Martinsburg game. You can find that page by either searching that page or the Gridiron Alumni page on Facebook.

Here's a new banner for the epic new sci-fi film Cloud Atlas, directed by Andy and Lana Wachowski and Tom Tykwer. This movie looks unlike anything I've ever seen before, and I imagine it's going to be an incredible movie going experience. The movie stars Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Hugo Weaving, Jim Sturgess, Susan Sarandon, Hugh Grant, Ben Whishaw, Keith David, Jim Broadbent, James D'Arcy, and Doona Bae. Most of these actors play several different characters in the movie.
This movie is an adaptation of David Mitchell's novel, Cloud Atlas, which tells six thematically related stories, and are linked by the intersections of various characters throughout the stories that takes place over the course of a thousand years.
Here's the Synopsis:
CLOUD ATLAS explores how the actions and consequences of individual lives impact one another throughout the past, the present and the future. Action, mystery and romance weave dramatically through the story as one soul is shaped from a killer into a hero and a single act of kindness ripples across centuries to inspire a revolution in the distant future.
The movie is scheduled to be released on October 26th.

American Eagle Airlines Selected to Provide Essential Air Service From Chicago O'Hare to Two New Destinations in Iowa
FORT WORTH, Texas, Dec. 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- American Eagle, the regional affiliate of American Airlines, today announced it was selected by the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) to begin daily round-trip flights between Chicago O'Hare International Airport and two new destinations in Iowa – Sioux Gateway Airport in Sioux City and Waterloo Regional Airport in Waterloo. As part of the Essential Air Service program (EAS), Eagle plans to begin service in spring 2012, operating the routes with 44-seat and 50-seat Embraer jets.
"We're delighted that American Eagle was selected to provide service to Sioux City and Waterloo from our cornerstone hub in Chicago," said Gary Foss, Managing Director – Regional Commercial Services for American Airlines. "This schedule will allow customers throughout Northern Iowa to make a day trip to Chicago for business or connect through this key international gateway to destinations throughout the American Airlines and oneworld® global network."
"Connecting Sioux City and Waterloo air service through O'Hare will improve the flying options for travelers, while, at the same time, create and preserve jobs in both areas," said Iowa Senator Tom Harkin, who worked to support the inclusion of new cities into the Essential Air Service Program. "Better service is also important for economic development and in attracting new businesses. I am hopeful that American Airlines will be able to expand their air service to both cities over time, eliminating the need for federal support."
"I am pleased that the DOT has granted the City of Sioux City's request and selected American Eagle as the EAS provider in Sioux City," said Congressman Steve King (R-Iowa). "Round-trip service to Chicago O'Hare fits well with the demands of those travelling to and from Sioux City, and I am hopeful that this service will help to increase the air traffic in and out of Sioux City. Sioux City has historically done very well to leverage community assets like reliable air service to attract new opportunities, and today's decision ensures that it will be able to continue to do so for the foreseeable future."
"The Waterloo Regional Airport is a major economic engine for the Cedar Valley, connecting our community with a world of opportunities," said Rep. Bruce Braley (Iowa-01). "The beginning of American Airlines service between Waterloo and Chicago will be a major selling point for attracting new investment and new businesses looking to locate in Northeast Iowa. This is good news for job creation and economic growth in the Cedar Valley."
Here are the proposed schedules (all times local, subject to change):

I have build a basic WCF service that does nothing but add two numbers together. This service is accessible via basicHTTPbinding and is working correctly. I am able to create new ASP.NET applications and consume this service when adding a service reference to the WSDL file.
However, I am having lots of trouble getting this service to work in Xamarin's Android Emulator.
Here is what I did (and you can to to reproduce):
Add your code
SampleService.AddingService addServ = New SampleService.AddingService();
SameleService.AddNumbersDC addNum = new SampleService.AddNumbersDC():
addNum.num1 = 15;
addNum.num2 = 35;
Here is my issue, the WCF "AddNumbers" method accepts a datacontract of "AddNumbersDC" as its ONLY argument and returns and integer.
When I am trying to consume the service within my application, it is requiring three arguments. The first is the datacontract, and the second and third arguments are OUT parameters (which I don't understand because even when I try to use them it errors out with System.Net.WebExcption.
Am I missing something here or is there no way to consume WCF services using Xamarin? Now, I did read the partial tutorial explaining that you need to generate your "AddingService.cs" files using Silverlight's SlSvcUtil.exe commands. I did not have any luck with this either.
Please help all!
Now, I did read the partial tutorial explaining that you need to generate your "AddingService.cs" files using Silverlight's SlSvcUtil.exe commands. I did not have any luck with this either.
That's the right direction. So what error messages are you getting with that, or where specifically are you getting stuck? Can you attach the Android Log and IIS Log?
If you think that it's generating an incorrect client proxy, could you please also attack the "AddingService.cs" file and the WSDL that you generated it from?
Hi Matt,
I am having similar problem consuming WCF on my android application. Please let me know if you had any luck with this. Basically I want to retrieve a set of data from a SQL table using WCF, store it in a list and then consume it on my Xamarin Android App.
So far:
-- I have been able to create the WCF webservice and populate the list with the appropriate data. -- I have added the service as a Web Reference (using the WSDL) to my application.
However I am not able to find how to consume this service in the app? The tutorial I read on Xamarin website is for consuming WCF on iOS app. Is it possible to do the same for android app? If so, please guide me with the process.
Thanks a lot!
@technoNJ - yes, the basic process is the same. Where are you getting stuck exactly?
Is consuming WCF services supported in Android?
@Profunctional, yes. Please see the documentation.
However, if you have a choice, REST services are recommended.
I'd also like to use REST services, but none of the JSON parsers are cross compatible. I just downloaded Newtonsoft's parser and there are two dlls. One for ios and one for Android. That would mean no sharing of a controller class to handle parsing. Is this correct?
I would like to come back here to let you know what I have found "the hard way". First and foremost, the Android Emulator that ships with Xamarin cannot locate "localhost". You can test this by accessing your WSDL file in your computers browser (e.g. http://localhost:87336:/Service.svc?WSDL) and then fire up the world's slowest emulator and try to pull up that same WSDL in that. You will not be able to locate it. I supposed that I need to publish the "sample" web service to a real web server and try again but this is a lot of work just to test a product like Xamarin.
Does anyone know if I am doing something wrong? I cannot turn on WiFi in the emulator so that it is on my network (this makes sense tho). Also, replacing "localhost" with the machine name did not help either.
So part of the reason why the emulator is not able to consume my services has been because it cannot locate them using the URI I provided.
(Very Complicated)
The Android Emulator has its own IP address entirely (in contrast to the iOS simulator). You will need to open up your local machines firewall and use its IP address.
I'd also like to use REST services, but none of the JSON parsers are cross compatible. I just downloaded Newtonsoft's parser and there are two dlls. One for ios and one for Android. That would mean no sharing of a controller class to handle parsing. Is this correct?
You can still share a controller class that handles the parsing between Android and iOS, even though they are in seperate assemblies. You can create an iOS Library project (YourProject.Shared.iOS) which holds a reference to NewtonsoftJson.MonoTouch.dll and a sepearte Android library (YourProject.Shared.Android) which holds a reference to NewtonsoftJson.MonoDroid.dll and use file linking to include the same Controller.cs file in both of these projects.
Because the namespacing of the newtonsoft library is the exact same in both assemblies you will be able to build both projects with the same source file, each using their own version of the newtonsoft assembly.
I'd also like to use REST services, but none of the JSON parsers are cross compatible
Json.Net is available as a Portable Class Library, or you can create your own PCL out of the source code. So, it's cross-platform compatible with only one .DLL.
@sanderE - I don't see a Newtonsoft.Json.Monotouch.dll.
There are two folders with the download:
This is what I'm confused about. If my controller class is to be shared, why is the dll dependent on ios or android?
There is a PCL version of the JSON.Net. As far as I know the API is the same on both versions of the DLL.
here are two folders with the download:
android/Newtonsoft.Json.dll ios/Newtonsoft.Json.dll
This is what I'm confused about. If my controller class is to be shared, why is the dll dependent on ios or android?
Because they are simply built for the two different target platforms, but behave the same way. Using the PCL version is also an option, but using the Newtonsoft.Json.dll assembly from the android folder in an Android project and using the iOS assembly in the iOS project while using file linking to reference the same controller file would also still work.
Forgive my elementary question here, but how do I find the emulator's IP address? Do I have to do anything to the network's firewall? I would think that since I have installed Xamarin (and its emulator) in Visual Studio that consuming a localhost WCF service would be a natural capability that I wouldn't have to specifically setup.
No, you might have to try disabling your local Windows/OS X firewall. Although this should not usually be necessary.
Getting your emulator's IP for local access can be done in code (check here in the ProtoPad source code). But, why would you need that? I assume you're trying to reach your desktop Service from Android, not the other way around? So, you just need to get your desktop IP address instead, through
ipconfig or what have you.
Again, also make sure you have made a very conscious decision for using WCF SOAP instead of more normal REST services. WCF at this point (from a mobile client at least) could only be really recommended if you need to be working with an existing WCF infrastructure for some reason, like having to call a corporate intranet service that you just cannot change to REST.
Thanks for the link about the emulator.
My goal is to have a business layer that is easily consumed by a web application, desktop application, and mobile clients.
I chose WCF because all of the Microsoft platforms that I develop for easily consume WCF.
I am, however, open to choosing alternative architecture styles.
What is the most productive way of creating RESTful web services in dotNet that can be consumed (easily) by web, desktop, and mobile apps?
What is the most productive depends on your experience and what architectural style you feel most comfortable with. For a Green Field project, I would personally probably go for ServiceStack end-to-end.
The main advantages of RESTful services are commonly cited as:
simplicity (makes for an easier debugging / testing experience)
usable from pretty much anything that talks HTTP (try talking to a WCF/SOAP service from Javascript without pulling your hair out..)
WCF also has its unique advantages, such as the use of data contracts and automatically generated proxies. However, with a solution like ServiceStack, you are pretty much taken care of in that regard also.
Most of the other WCF features are not very popular outside of the enterprise space (WS-Reliable Messaging / WS-AtomicTtransactions / WS-SecureConversation).
U R awesome!
Your thorough answers and willingness to explain high-level concepts is what makes these forums such a resource.
Based on the information you have sent, I am going to opt for the RESTful WCF services.
Implementing this on the back end will work great for all of my apps.
I am new bee to Monodriod Development. We were using WCF RESTful service for getting online database data's and the Json output is '[{"Id":20,"Name":"Leo Messi"},{"Id":3,"Name":"Ronaldo"}]'. . How to consume this json to Spinner drop down in Monodriod.
Please provide some samples to work on the same.
@sucheendarnathk - just use any of the REST client frameworks I mentioned above and this should be very easy.
I have tried to get Json array from Monodroid via REST service. But its failed in response.
It showing error as
" {System.Net.WebException: The request timed out
at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.EndGetResponse (IAsyncResult asyncResult) [0x00000] in :0
at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse () [0x00000] in :0
at SampleSpinner.Activity1.OnCreate (Android.OS.Bundle bundle) [0x00039] in e:\Kathir\Project\MonoForAndriod\SampleApps\SampleSpinner\Activity1.cs:45 }"
Find below my sample for retrieving Json collection array
var request = HttpWebRequest.Create("http://192.168.0.217/testjson/service1.svc/string/2");
request.ContentType = "application/json";
request.Method = "GET";
using (HttpWebResponse response = request.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse)
using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()))
var content = reader.ReadToEnd();
How to retrieve the RESTful service data in Mono. Kindly suggest how to retrieve data and assign to spinner control.
Have you disabled the firewall? Even the Android emulator runs on its own IP address.
Ya i have retrieved the Json data in Mono. But How to assign the Json (Array collection) to Spinner control with display and value member fields.Kindly suggest.
we are using custom adapter class for binding spinner controls. We were trying to achieve one custom adapter with many spinner binding . we want to set different Display member for spinner's. But we couldn't find which spinner control called in GetView method.
Kindly suggest how to achieve the same. Find below my sample code
public override View GetView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent)
View view = convertView; // re-use an existing view, if one is available
if (view == null) // otherwise create a new one
view = context.LayoutInflater.Inflate(Android.Resource.Layout.SimpleListItem1, null);
// Here i need to check for which spinner is called. So that we can change Display member accordingly.
view.FindViewById(Android.Resource.Id.Text1).Text = items[position].Name.ToString();
return view;
Kindly guide me. I am waiting for your kind reply..
Sorry, I am really busy right now due to workload and family stuff. However, what you are looking to do is very easy and standard, just search this forum or Google and you will find lots of examples.
Hi chris,
We tried google searching but couldn't find a solution. Kindly suggest us..
I am waiting for your response.
Hi Chris,
As per your docs ([http://docs.xamarin.com/guides/cross-platform/application_fundamentals/introduction_to_web_services]) link, I created a wcf service, using SilverlightServiceModel Proxy Generation Tool (SLSvcUtil) created proxy, Hosted this service to server.
I am able to consume this service to my code but when during invocation of method of wcf I got System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException.
so do you have any solution of this please help me or send me the link about the same.

Auguste Rodin (1840-1917)
About 1908
Height 19 cm
Museum no. A.50-1914
Given by the artist
Rodin gave this work the title 'Dante' when it was first exhibited at Grosvenor House in July 1914. He was a great admirer of Dante, and The Inferno was the initial inspiration for the subject matter of The Gates of Hell. The head is actually a portrait of the American businessman and writer John Wesley de Kay (1872-1938), of whom Rodin made several busts around 1908.

Science colloquia discusses physical properties of transition metals
The next Penn State Berks Division of Science Colloquium will feature Dr. Thomas Winter, Professor of Physics at Penn State Wilkes-Barre, who will give a presentation titled "Physical Properties of the Transition Metals" on Friday, Oct. 19, 2012, at 1 p.m. in room 125, Luerssen Building. This presentation is free and open to the public and light refreshments will be served.
According to Winter's abstract, "The 30 transition metals are characterized by a d sub-shell being filled after the outer s sub-shell. These metals occupy the middle of three rows of the periodic table, and range from the common, such as iron, to the extremely rare, such as osmium. I have obtained samples of all the solid ones except (radioactive) technetium, and will focus on a few of their basic physical properties, including density and specific heat. For the common metals, such properties are typically measured by students in an introductory lab, but with little or no attempt to relate a property for one metal to that for another. Further, for a given metal, one property can often be related to another property. And the limits of accuracy can be pushed and common reference standards (the CRC Handbook and Kittel) can possibly be improved upon. Finally, I will touch on recent controversies on some of these physical properties."
