Articles for Creation
This week, we interviewed WikiProject Articles for Creation which offers unregistered users an opportunity to create new articles with help from the Wikipedia community. Unregistered users have not been able to create new articles since the Seigenthaler incident in 2005. The Articles for Creation page was created to allow unregistered users an opportunity to contribute new articles after being reviewed by a registered user. WikiProject Articles for Creation was initiated in 2007 to deal with the growing backlog of unreviewed articles. The project maintains a showcase of featured, good, and DYK content that began as submissions by anonymous users.
We interviewed project "participants" Someguy1221, Sven Manguard, Chzz, and Graeme Bartlett. Someguy1221 came across AFC by accident in December 2007 after spending time patroling recent changes with VandalProof. He primarily reviews AFC submissions and helps with formatting, sourcing, and neutrality. Sven Manguard has "no clue" how he ended up at AFC, but he says "I know why I stayed... I was welcomed by a great group of people." He gives kudos to Chzz and Fetchcomms for being warm and friendly. He says AFC serves as a great niche for people who are not "prolific content generators," because he can feel "a certain level of vindication from being able to serve as an intermediary, helping people who are content generators get their content onto Wikipedia." Chzz doesn't think of AFC as a WikiProject, thus he never bothered to "join" it despite being one of the project's central figures. He considers AFC "part of a fundamental Wikipedia process" and has been answering {{helpme}} requests and giving feedback since June 2009. He tends to push a lot of submissions through Did You Know. Graeme Bartlett is an admin who also works on Files for upload, the multimedia version of AFC. He likes to start near the end of the alphabet when burning through backlogs.
How many submissions does the project receive in an average day? Are most submissions accepted or declined? What are some ways an unregistered user can improve an article's chance of being accepted? What are the fastest ways to get a suggestion declined?
- Someguy1221: The statistics are easiest to keep track of only after September 2008, whereafter each submission was given its own page. There have been 25,807 submissions in that time, of which 7864 have been accepted (or roughly 30%). There are on average 30 submissions each day. These statistics can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/Submissions. There is actually some undercounting of the number of declined submissions, as many have been deleted entirely (although those are often ones made in bad faith, which should not be counted anyway), and sometimes multiple declined submissions are made under the same title. The best way for an any user to give his submission a high chance of being accepted is to provide reliable sources for the article, and write it in the same tone as those sources. In fact, the fastest way to get one's article declined (beyond the trivial stuff like making a blank submission, or not writing it in English) is to not include any sources. Sometimes the reviewer will find sources himself, but more often we simply won't. This is why we remind the submitter at multiple points in the submission process to cite their sources. A less common, but very quick way to get an article declined is to assert the non-notability of the subject. I've seen multiple submissions contain something along the lines of "This band hasn't gone on tour or released any albums, but they are working very hard in Dave's garage on their first single." Particularly relevant to this question is the "quick fail criteria" section of Wikipedia:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/Reviewing_instructions.
- Chzz: I believe others have given you stats; my guess would be 50 a day, but it does vary greatly. The vast majority are declined - at least, the first draft, and that can be quite demoralizing for us reviewers. But if we work carefully with the users, helping them add references, then they not only improve the submission, but also they learn more editing skills, and thus get more interested and involved in Wikipedia.
- Fastest decline would be copyright violations, or blank, offensive or other silly submissions. Beyond that, it'd be writing about something that doesn't have significant coverage in reliable sources - and very often, the subject is autobiographical, corporate, or about the author's band, book, website, etc.
- But the three most important things are references, references and references. If I had a penny for every time I've had to explain the basic need for verifiability, I'd need very big pockets.
What are some common issues with image submissions? How do they differ from article submissions?
- Sven Manguard: Understandably, a large number of people that come to FFU to submit images do not have an understanding of copyright law, of what constitutes fair use, or of the licenses that Wikipedia does and does not accept. As a result, users often submit images that they do not own under the {{PD-self}} public domain tag for own work, or provide links to images on Flickr or Picassa accounts that are licensed as "all rights reserved" on or one of the "non-commercial" creative commons licenses. I consider this to be a problem for two reasons. First of all, it is rather disheartening for a user to submit for upload a file and have it rejected out of copyright concerns. If Wikipedia can use an image under fair use, I will upload it and fill out the fair use rationales myself, but in many cases, I am forced to decline. I try to explain the reasoning behind these declines, but I doubt that dampens the blow to the submitter, and I often wonder how many potential repeat contributors we lose because of this. The second way this knowledge and communication barrier causes issues occurs when contributors submit their own work through a photo sharing service, but license their work "all rights reserved" or with a "non-commercial" license. The contributor is indicating that he or she wants to contribute the image, however Wikipedia is legally bound to decline the request unless the release license is changed to a Wikipedia compatible free-use license. When we ask the contributor to change the license, and they are watching the requests, they do so almost every time. What makes this frustrating, however, is that only a very small number of contributors watch their submissions and respond to our requests. While the struggle for clear communication with new users and concern over copyright are issues across AfC and Wikipedia as a whole, they seem especially concentrated and prevalent at files for upload.
- Graeme Bartlett: The problems with images are as Sven Manguard states, almost all due to copyright, either the wrong license or license unknown. The rules to include images are much stricter than the average blog or facebook page, so new people have a bit of trouble understanding.
- Chzz: Invalid, or incomplete, declaration of copyright. People freely (and yes, illegally) copy images from the net all the time, so they find it hard to understand the need to get clear, unequivocal permission to use images. And the intricacies of nonfree content confuses the bejesus out of all of us, of course.
The project had a sizable backlog until a drive in 2008 eliminated the backlog. What strategies did the project use to accomplish this? How has the project prevented a new backlog from forming in the past three years? Do you have any tips for other projects attempting their own backlog elimination drives?
- Someguy1221: Under the original AFC system (pre-September 2008), all submissions in a day were made to the same page, which was archived every 24 hours. This made it very easy to forget or ignore old submissions, which would simply be shoved away in an archive, never to be seen again. And indeed, that is what happened for over two years. In 2008, a barnstar was offered to anyone who assisted in clearing the backlog (I actually helped, but never asked for one). Lists were assembled of all the archives by year and month, and very gratifying checkmarks applied whenever a day or month was cleared. The new system of a new page for each submission has greatly assisted us in keeping the backlog to only a few days at most. With this system, a single page, CAT:AFC, shows us every outstanding submission, and they don't leave that page until they are reviewed. Martin created a date parameter for the AFC templates that causes the oldest submissions to be listed first, or the exact opposite of what we had before. Someguy1221 (talk) 05:16, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
- Graeme Bartlett: Tips would include a barnstar, discussing the project in places outside the normal project pages to attract new interest, and adding the backlog to the list of backlogs. Naturally the backlog should look to be attractive to work on, and some may attract only those with the most gnomish personality. When we meet new people here we can suggest projects to join.
- Chzz: I was not there in 2008. Since 2009, it has frequently backed-up, and when it does, new users become disillusioned with the lack of responses. I've often had my own mini-elimination-drive, enlisting help from other users I know, but mostly I just clear it down myself. For example, on 20 Jan with help from Bsherr (talk · contribs), we cleared it from over 100 to less than 10 (pending). Two days later, it was back over 100, and I processed all of them, in a manic 5-hour session of reviewing. Since then, I've had several similar sessions, clearing 50 or so. It's like painting the forth bridge.
- This is a significant and increasing problem for Wikipedia as a whole; that a large portion new users simply want to write their article, and few people want to help others write articles; thus, the ratio of helpers to helpees is not good, and getting worse. The helpees can get pretty disillusioned with the dearth of COI and spam, too.
The project funnels submissions through the Article Wizard. How intuitive is the wizard for new editors? Are there any features you wish were added or changed?
- Someguy1221: I always had the impression the Article Wizard was too much, too many rules, too many instructions. The problem is that... well, that's the nature of Wikipedia. I thought about pruning the Wizard once, but I came to agree that users need to be told everything that's in there. We have a page for submitters to provide feedback. Some say it's too much, while others liked it just fine. Regardless, I can't think of a better way to do it.
- Chzz: I have a strong aversion to wizard-style submissions of any kind, ever since the horrors of clippy. I believe the basic wiki interface should be vastly simplified, instead. The Wizard, if we need one, should probably just ask the title of the subject, a short summary of what it is about, and then just have a series of lines with box to put a sentence, then a compulsory box to say where that sentence comes from (the reference). It'd add appropriate info to the references, collate named references, and format things neatly. And make the tea for us, while we wait.
- I don't think a wizard, or indeed AFC, is the answer to simplifying things for new users editing Wikipedia; I think we need more fundamental simplification of the entire process.
How difficult is it to bring a new article proposed by an unregistered user all the way up to Featured or Good Article status? Does the unregistered user or a member of the project typically do most of the legwork in getting the article up to higher assessments?
- Graeme Bartlett: Very few articles from AFC make it to the higher levels of assessment, that is because we are mostly dealing with people's first steps in Wikipedia. However there are a few anonymous experienced users around using the system too. These people create pages at the C or B class, whereas most are stubs or start class.
- Chzz: So rare, that in processing well over 9000 submissions, I've never seen it happen. I don't often keep in touch with submissions I've accepted, beyond basic formatting when live and maybe a few follow-up questions on my talk page. The vast majority don't bother to continue editing after getting their one article live; the few who do are usually clueful enough by that time to work out Wikipedia for themselves.
- As, sadly, only about 0.1% of articles are FA and 0.3% are GA, it is unsurprising that few AFCs rise to those exalted classifications.
What are the project's most pressing needs? How can a new member help today?
- Sven Manguard: I've been helping out at files for uploading, the image uploading component of Articles for Creation, for about three months. In that time, I can't recall seeing more than a half dozen people in total helping to review the submissions there. While FFU does not see the same volume of submissions that the other sections of AfC do, I do believe that it is a tad understaffed at the moment. Helping out at FFU is relatively easy and does not require a large time commitment. I would be more than willing to show any interested users the ropes, and would encourage them to contact me if they're interested.
- Chzz: Please help out! - you'll have my everlasting gratitude. Anyone can help; it is very simple. Unfortunately, I think the instructions are a bit complex, so I'll try to simplify;
- Go to CAT:AFC
- Look at the ones under 'P' for pending
- If it is 'acceptable' - that is, if you think it'd be likely to survive deletion (CSD, PROD and AfD) then 'accept' it by moving it live, and tidying it up. (It would be nice to add it to categories, tell the user it was live, and all those other trimmings)
- If it is not 'acceptable', decide if it can be fixed up - ie, is the subject notable? (Do a bit of googling)
- If so, either fix it, or explain to the author what needs fixing. (On the page itself, and/or on their talk page)
- If not, 'decline' it. Edit the page, and you'll see a template at the top, something like...
- {{AFC submission|||ts=20110206020642|u=Example|ns=5}}
- You need to add a letter D for 'decline', the parameter 'reason', and some reason;
- {{AFC submission|D|reason|This fails to meet our [[WP:GNG|notability requirements]], because it lacks [[WP:RS|reliable sources]]; please see [[WP:BAND]].|ts=20110206020642|u=Example|ns=5}}
- A note to people not afraid of .js:
- If you add importScript('User:Timotheus Canens/afchelper4.js'); to your your js page; it makes it very easy to 'accept' and 'decline' giving standard rationales, using a drop-down thingy.
Anything else you'd like to add?
- Graeme Bartlett: A related page is the WP:Drawing board that gets a few proposals per month.
- Chzz: Yes, please - a short-as-I-can, opinionated, bit of a rant;
- As Wikipedia matures, we shift focus from "quantity" to "quality". This makes it harder for new users to join in. It is no longer a reasonable expectation for any truly new user to write a new article, from scratch, and for it to conform to basic policy and guidelines without help. I'm sure that less than 1 in 250* first articles are - without considerable help to develop them - really, genuinely meaningful additions to the project. It is no longer a matter of mere competence; learning to edit takes effort. *The figure is a very rough estimate; we desperately need to analyse this information.
- A few people will learn things for themselves, but largely these are from the type we already have in abundance. The system lends itself to attracting the younger, more technical adept, mostly male, mostly American editors. To widen the demographic, it is essential we make the whole system more friendly and accessible.
- There is a disparity with the way new users are treated if they make a live article, as opposed to if they use AFC. Most (truly) new editors creating a live article get a CSD-tag, and/or other template warnings. In AFC, they (mostly) get informed help. I think that creation of new articles needs general reform - and I'm sure it will happen, one day. The system is nasty, to new users - and really, that is why we don't get retention of new editors, and why the editorial mass becomes more and more of an entrenched community.
- However, it is not a mere volume of new blood we need, it is quality editors. AFC is most frequently used for Conflict of Interest, so we may be focusing resources on the wrong people. Most new editors are not here to edit an encyclopaedia, they are here to have their article up.
- We're approaching the stage where anything with good coverage in RS is already on Wikipedia, particularly for Western culture. We're not lacking in articles on e.g. (ex-) Kings, a (non-trivial) USA town, or some invention (that is known to a few thousand). So naturally, most new articles are either junk, (few) genuine new discoveries or - and this is the big one increasing - conflict of interest cases. At least, this applies to Western culture topics; the drive for new editors from other places can shift that, but raises other issues, as they often need considerable help with the language itself, and there are the difficulties in sourcing information in other languages.
- The ratio of helpees to helpers is shrinking.
- I think we will require a 'quarantine' for all new articles, similar to AFC, changing auto-confirmed requirements to e.g. 100 edits / 1 month, and thus force all new users to create articles in a 'holding pen', with a checking process. This would inevitably create AFC-type backlogs, but would considerably reduce new page patrol, speedy deletions, proposed deletions, requests to userfy, and annoyed new users, shouts for help, people blocked, and so forth. So instead of productive new users getting horrible nasty CSD template warnings, they'd get helpful advice - "Sorry, can't accept that because of x, y, z - if you can address those concerns though, sure, it'll be fine - ask again".
- New users are the lifeblood of the project; we need to treat them much better.
Next week, we'll search for the equation that determines a WikiProject's success. Until then, calculate how many interviews you've read in the archive.
- AfC could always use help from experienced users. I suspect a system where new users are required to submit articles would also make for a good trial. However, the one issue that I always see is less-experienced users reviewing articles that should not be in mainspace. AfC could use a system where two users must agree to approve a submission, but that would cause even more of a backlog. /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 23:41, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
- Well, if 'confirmed' were 100 edits/1 month, then the reviewer would at least have reached some minimal level of experience (because, non-confirmed cannot move pages, right?). And 'problematic' users could, perhaps, have their confirmed status removed, instead of blocking. Maybe. Chzz ► 07:54, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
- I feel there should be a special mention of User:The Earwig and his EarwigBot which performs many valuable maintenance tasks for AfC like copyvio detection and statistics updating, and keeps things generally running smoothly there. -- Ϫ 08:36, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

i live in hell
can i make one of the gym leaders????
totally have an electric gymleader obsession <3
( i also have an obsession with names that can be shortened to two letters)
Name: Thunder King "Tk"
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Gym Type: electric
species: Jolteon
Gender: Female
Nickname: Jole
Level: 32
Thunder bolt, Thunder Fang, Charge beam, pin missile, double kick, helping hand.
species: Electivire.
Gender: female
Nickname: Ellie
Level: 30
Thunder bolt, Thunder punch, Electro ball, volt switch, light screen , low kick
species: Raichu
Gender: Female
Nickname: Chika
Level: 28
Thunder bolt, thunder fang, Thunder punch, Discharge, Quick attack, Agility
Species: Blitzle
Gender: Female
Nickname: Blitz
Level: 24
Wild charge, Shock wave, Spark, Thunder wave, Flame Charge, Stomp
Appearance: Tk is tall around 5'11" with a small build. He has blonde shaggy hair and sports a small blonde beard on his face. He has bright blue eyes. His skin color is slightly tanned due to intense training all the time.
He dresses in Baggy sweat pants and a tank top all the time with bright yellow shoes and a baggy hoodie. He never looks professional, to say the least. One thing he always wears is a necklace and if you look closely you'll see its actually a chip off a thunder stone.( that cant be used cause its so small) But he never takes his necklace off.
Personality: He seems lethargic and lazy at first. Its quite the opposite, see Tk is like a light-bulb he turns off and on. In normal day time when he's not training or battling he's "off" . This makes him come across as completely un-serious and basically a push over. But once he clicks the pokeball open its like he's a whole new man. He enters on mode and his energy levels switch. Because of this small personality glitch people think winning against him will be easy, well they are wrong he's a very gym leader and very good in battle.
History: He grew up in the sevii Islands where he received his first pokemon. It was a small female eevee he named Jole. Soon they became fast friends on their journey. One day he was given theese two fire stones by this weird man. and he was about to allow his Eevee evolve but then some girls grabbed him. She asked him if he wanted to trade his fire stones for her two thunderstones since she wanted to evolve her eevee into a flareon. Reluctantly he said yes only because Jole seemed eager about the idea. Then he was about to evolve Jole again when the first thunder stone broke into pieces. He then took the other and evolved Jole. He decided to keep a piece of the broken thunder stone. Ever since then he was only able to train Electric pokemon successfully. but eventually he became a powerful trainer and soon was asked to be a gym leader.
will fill soon <3

Consumer Price Index unchanged in November
December 17, 2001
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) was unchanged in November after decreasing 0.3 percent in October.
The energy index, which declined 6.3 percent in October, fell 4.4 percent in November. The index for petroleum-based energy declined 9.4 percent, while the index for energy services rose 0.1 percent. The food index, which rose 0.5 percent in October, declined 0.1 percent in November. Excluding food and energy, the CPI-U rose 0.4 percent, following increases of 0.2 percent in each of the four preceding months.
During the first 11 months of 2001, the CPI-U rose at a 1.9 percent seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR). This compares with an increase of 3.4 percent for all of 2000.
For the 12-month period ended in November 2001, the CPI-U increased 1.9 percent.
These data are a product of the BLS Consumer Price Index program. Find out more in Consumer Price Indexes, November 2001, news release USDL 01-467.

As the Tennessee football program has learned, the "Big Mo" comes with a sharpened set of claws that can snatch the team, coaches, players and fan base back to reality in a hurry.
Excitement brews each and every August with the college football season ready to commence in September. Programs like Tennessee have aspirations of banner hanging as anything less is considered something of a failure.
With a bevy of sophomores ready to be the nucleus of this year's Volunteers after playing major roles in 2010, chatter around Knoxville slowly started to substitute pessimism for optimism.
However, as has been the case with Tennessee for several years now, the second that momentum nears its pinnacle, an iron fist of negativity comes hammering down on Big Orange County to keep the glass from ever appearing half full.
As the cover and feature article of September's edition of Rocky Top News Magazine boasted (before having to be scrapped minutes before going to press), the Vol secondary was set to line up with returning starters not only in the lineup but a few more on the bench. The unit's featured playmaker, Janzen Jackson, was also the team's most talented product.
With a résumé that includes 22 career starts, 106 tackles, 15 passes defended and six interceptions, Jackson gave defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox a legitimate card to play when gambling with blitz packages knowing that his center fielder could cover as much ground as anyone in the Southeastern Conference and lay the wood upon point of contact.
As worrisome as Jackson was to opposing offensive coordinators and quarterbacks, the 6-foot, 187-pounder was that much more stress ball-worthy for Tennessee coach Derek Dooley in keeping Jackson on the straight and narrow off the field.
A chance to step away from college life and football altogether from January until late July gave Jackson a chance to see what throwing God-given talent down the toilet is like.
The Lake Charles, La., native sounded and glowed like a young man that realized he got a new lease on life when he spoke with media after a preseason camp practice on Aug. 8: "It feels great to be back out here with my teammates, my friends, out here playing the sport that I love."
When asked about what exactly kept him away from the team, Jackson wasn't exactly transparent with his deficiencies: "It was a lot of stuff that I'd rather not talk about in public."
Nearly six months to the day from the NFL Combine in Indianapolis where Jackson could showcase his ability as a high draft pick, Dooley was forced to roll the security blanket off Jackson and dismiss him from the team.
What'd the five fingers say to the face, Janzen? "SMACK!" The kid just never fully grasped the big picture.
"Although I'm disappointed with this outcome, we will never compromise the long-term organizational values and goals we maintain here at Tennessee," Dooley said in a press release.
The string that connected Jackson with big-time college football life and NFL opportunities became completely unwound.
Judging by Dooley's comments Tuesday, he knew something was about to happen. As a former Atlanta-based lawyer, Dooley has a flair for damage control.
|Tennessee coach Derek Dooley has done everything he possibly could to get Jackson's life turned in order..
|(Danny Parker/InsideTennessee.com)
The most pessimistic way of approaching the situation is that it's yet another of former coach Lane Kiffin's recruits that couldn't stay in school and a sophomore-laden lineup just lost one of the few upperclassmen expected to contribute immensely.
On the other hand, expectations for the 2011 Vols aren't anywhere near what they were in the late 1990s. Simply getting to eight wins (which could be enough to win the SEC Eastern Division) would be an eye-opener for some and considered a firm step in the right direction. It's the 2012 campaign where Vol Nation is pointing and the chances of Jackson returning to Rocky Top next year were as bleak as Dooley showing up for the season opener against Montana without every follicle of hair shellacked in place.
Thus, moving forward before the Vols kick off on Sept. 3 gets them a jump-start on figuring out on what to do at free safety moving forward.
Assuming Tennessee is in its base 4-3 defense, two options come to mind.
Option No. 1 — With junior Marsalis Teague and freshman Justin Coleman battling to start at cornerback opposite redshirt junior Prentiss Waggner, simply starting both Teague and Coleman and rolling Waggner back to free safety alongside sophomore strong safety Brent Brewer makes sense. But, that does take away a physical presence on the edge like Waggner as the 6-2, 185-pounder doesn't carry the burden of being terribly vertically challenged when matching up against the likes of South Carolina wide receiver Alshon Jeffrey, who's 6-4, 229.
Option No. 2 — In order to minimize the number of moving parts, the staff could simply insert junior college transfer Byron Moore into Jackson's spot. The 6-1, 205-pound Moore spent a year at Southern California before one decorated season at Los Angeles Harbor Community College. Finding a spot to get Moore onto the field has been perplexing thus far but the redshirt sophomore's skill set may lend more favorably to safety than at cornerback.
Dooley and his staff repeat one another on a consistent basis in referencing how they'll go about deciding on a starting lineup. Taking that concept to mind, it's apparent that he, Wilcox and secondary coach Terry Joseph will do everything possible to get the top 4-5 defensive backs on the field.
The question is: Who are those guys?
The answer comes in 10 days.

Team Poulard: Weight The Main Factor in Rejecting Froch
By Luke Furman
Light heavyweight contender Nicholson Poulard (19-3, 9 KOs) rejected the opportunity to face Carl Froch (29-2, 21 KOs), the IBF's super middleweight champion, because of the weight - according to Eye of the Tiger Management. Froch's promoter, Eddie Hearn, was looking to secure Poulard for a November fight in Nottingham.
As reported previously, Poulard has preferred to focus on the opportunity to face WBA light heavyweight champion Beibut Shumenov (13-1, 8 KOs). Poulard is the half-brother of former champion Jean Pascal, who Froch defeated several years ago.
"[Poulard] can not make 168 pounds. The last time he did it [in 2009 against Sebastien Demers], he fell ill and ran out of gas after the first round," said Camille Estephan, the head of Eye of The Tiger Management. "It would have been interesting to go against Froch, but we preferred the opportunity to meet Shumenov. [Poulard] is ranked sixth under Shumenov. I've discussed things with [Shumenov's team] and they want a fight in November in Las Vegas or Kazakhstan."

[QUOTE=D-MiZe;12456316]I guess it's for the best that someone like Poulard isn't fighting Froch in November. But the fact he's been approached does make me somewhat anxious about who the Cobra is going to fight a few months from now.[/QUOTE] Know…Comment by qksilvr on 08-27-2012

Jeff Ruland is expected to undergo a magnetic resonance imaging examination of his injured right leg today. In the meantime, he is mulling the possibility of legal action.
Before that, however, the 76ers' backup center must learn the extent of the damage, which is in the area of his Achilles' tendon and his calf.
All Ruland knows for sure is that he was hurt Jan. 17, in an incident outside the Boston Garden about an hour after the Sixers' 98-95 loss to the Celtics. While waiting to board the team bus, Ruland said he was hit from behind by the edge of a luggage cart directed by employees of the Celtics. He appeared in three games after the loss to Boston, then lasted just three minutes in Friday night's victory over Minnesota before limping off.

Share a little about the materials, processes and techniques used to create this cake: I started by piping a heart shaped lattice in the center of my cake with white buttercream. I surrounded it with light pink mini rosettes. Then I piped a few rose buds around the sides in the same color. With a darker pink, I made a bead border around the top of the cake and a shell border on the bottom. I finished off the top border by returning to my white buttercream and putting a tiny dot in between every bead. Finally, I piped leaves underneath each rosebud and sporadically between the rosettes.
beautiful icing !

Skip to comments.Schumer to Boehner: Ditch the Tea Party, join us!
Posted on 03/15/2011 2:42:12 AM PDT by South40
Top-ranking Democratic Sen. Charles Schumer is urging Republican House Speaker John Boehner to ditch the Tea Party and join a coalition that includes Democrats to work around conservative lawmakers on spending cuts.
It is becoming clear that the path to a bipartisan budget deal may not go through the Tea Party at all. In order to avert a shutdown, Speaker Boehner should consider leaving the Tea Party behind and instead seek a consensus in the House among moderate Republicans and a group of Democrats, the New Yorker said in a written statement.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
Come to the dark side Luke
two wolves (dem and rino) and one sheep (the tea party taxpayers) deciding what to eat for dinner
Is Boehner that stupid? I don't care how senior he is, if he climbs into bed with Schumer, he's gone in 2012.
Let's hope not.
But I guess we're about to find out.
Maybe we should send him an email and make sure he knows where we stand
Once agan a republican gives the wrong answer to a reporter writing a democrat propaganda piece. The response should have been, "I call on Senator Schumer to leave the socialists behind and join the American people."
Boehner is a RINO ... with issues, IMO.
Hey Boehner, enough of this go along get along CRAP.
Cut the damned overblaoted federqal budget or we'll replace your ass fella.
Enough of this capitulating to the likes of chuckie schumer and his ilk.
This means one thing
The dems are in trouble and Chuckie knows it
Boehner cannot be that stupid or can he to take NY largest snake at his word?
"Is Boehner that stupid? "
Bart Stupak was that stupid for accepting Obama's "deal" to cut out abortion funding with an executive order. Everybody knows the new health law will use taxpayer dollars to fund abortions. Stupak was too chicken to run in 2010 knowing that voters would pound him for letting the wool get pulled over his eyes. But for Stupak and a few similarly-minded clowns, we wouldn't even have the Obamacare mess to clean up.
Meant to add: since progressives managed to fool these Dems, and since they have an even lower opinion about the intelligence of Republicans, you can rest assured Schumer believes Boehner is stupid enough to take his bait.
Never in history has one man said so many stupid things in front of a news camera as Chucky Schumer.
Never in history has one man said so many stupid things in front of a news camera as Chucky Schumer.
Oh great...Satan wants another to become an idiot and follow him. Tell satan to "...get behind me."
We need a 'Bizarro World' (good) Pelosi on our side - someone who will stare down the evil and in-your-face attack! Unfortunately for us, cry baby Boehner ain't that guy.
The Fat lady is warming up, for the Republican name brand will be a thing of the past. The Tea Party needs to move on without them. Unfortunately, by 2012, it may be too late to save the good ole USA from financial meltdown due to currency crisis (QE^n).
Schumer may be the oiliest, scummiest of Dems these days. He'd scare a hyena off a gut heap.
They all seem real stupid. We need conservative people willing to talk the conservtive talk. Nothing else works for me.
Don't drink the kool-aid John!
Chuckie's all for taxes, amenesty gay marraige and much more. He never met a tax he couldn't hike.
I don't like him. I don't trust him.
But I digress.
Yes, he's that stupid.
"Is Boehner that stupid?"
I don't think that Boehner is stupid, I also don't think that he is a true conservative. Frankly its next to impossible to stay in Washington, D.C., as long as he has, and not become part of the problem. Term limits are a necessity at this point in time. Bottom line Boehner must go!
Wont be to hard for Boner,or Cantorwont,Those are their real tendencies anyway
Schumer: Yes, John, yes. You've been Speaker for what, now, two months? All that work. All that responsibility. Join us. No responsibility. Plus you can work to bankrupt the United States, I mean, really, why stop now? We're almost there.
The dimwits always have a lying excuse as to why they can't do something good.
Your statement is illogical
Hey, Chuck You, how about you join the Tea Party Pubs' caucus.
Oh, what? You mean you only want concensus to lefty ideals? Chuck you, Chuck
Don't be a dummy
Be a schmahty
Come and join
the Communist Pahty
Shumer is very calculating he is trying to drive a wedge between the Tea party and the Republicans. This is an opening salvo in a Democrat effort to frustrate the Tea party and try and make it splinter off into a third party. The Tea Party must supply the spine for the GOP, for it has none with out it.
It is too late to hash out where, how or if the Tea Party will affect the Presidential election.
We are further along than that now and it is laughable that anyone, Conservative or Liberal, is unable to grasp that or insists on marginalizing the Tea Party momentum.
You know, Chuck Schumer is so oily that if we drilled into him we could meet our energy needs for the next year.
"seek a consensus" - to do nothing.
Yep, right. They are already partners.
That's enough to make ME cry.....Boehner must be balling his eyes out at the moment.
"GET THEE BEHIND ME, SATAN".....the reply of Jesus when Satan offered him all the kingdoms of the world to rule if Jesus would worship him.
From past performance, my question is when does this happen?
Chucky, chucky, chucky.
We don't want consensus, we want demonRAT capitulation and surrender.
Save the Nation, take some public money away from a demonRAT, watch them shrivel and die.
I wonder how much Mr. Boehner wants to keep his job as Speaker and Congresscritter?
Come a little closer, said the spider to the fly.
Moderate republicans = socialists
Boehner = moderate republican
The republican leadership doesn't cave to the socialist democrats, they are socialist republicans.
Sshummer is just having some fun with him..he's the pappa cat playing with the mouse. Schummer of course has been here longer and knows exactly where the Republicans (socialists) will end up.
The Big Boo
We are winning.
And if Obama wasn't black and wasn't having his poll numbers propped up by racist blacks, 2012 would be shaping up as another blood bath for Democrats.
I love it, both of these parties scared $hitless of the tea party. the people.
the way government should be. in my opinion they are two heads of the same snake.
The Tea party is one party and the now communist dems and the infiltrated repubicans is the other.
Boehner needs to go in 2012. He IS the weakest link.
I am sure Boehner is considering it.
if he does then male crying and orange skin will suddenly be considered COOL in the mainstream media!

Lol. I saw my favorite singer with EX1000 in a radio station. I guess she's an audiophile too! She has ES5 and EX1000.
Lol. I have two friends that own them. =0.
Sadly, one is an self claimed audiophile that can't tell the difference between beats and shure.
I actually haven't heard any impressions on the NuForce MMP, even though it seems like a promising piece of hardware. Seems to have been designed for the iPhone 5.
That has to sound very harsh.
It doesn't matter since the sound is 8 bit anyway. Maybe signatures will differ between headphones, but the signal is still the same.
There's a pretty good chance that's a Head-Fier...

The Commerce Department has released international trade figures for last December and full year 2012. Exports for the latter period hit an all-time record, advancing by nearly $93 billion to total $2.2 trillion. In addition to the overall figure, numerous categories also reached historic peaks. These included capital goods, automobiles (as well as parts and engines), consumer goods, and travel and tourism.
For December, exports rose by $3.9 billion on a month-over-month basis to $186 billion.
Meanwhile, imports also hit a record for the full year at $2.7 trillion. The growth in this indicator was slower than that for exports, and as a result, the trade deficit contracted to $540 billion from 2011's $560 billion.
December imports fell nearly 3% from November to land at $225 billion. This, in combination with the growth in exports, reduced the nation's goods and services trade deficit by 21% to $38.5 billion.

If you're looking for anime similar to The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, you might like these titles. All recommendations are made by Anime-Planet users like you!
Yukino had it all. Brilliant, athletic, popular and pretty, she was the perfect school girl with many friends and admirers. But then one fateful day she met her match: a handsome young man named Arima. Now, not only is he beating her at her own game, she's becoming more and more dismayed to learn that she's developing her first real feelings of romance. Can Yukino maintain her model student appearance, or will love ruin all her plans?
3 votes
I agree
These series are, at their core, about the relationship between two high-school students. Many other features are different: Circumstances is highly linear and Melancholy is anything but. Circumstances takes place in a normal world with normal people, in Melancholy while things may seem normal they often aren't. Still, it's all about two unusual people and everything that happens between them over the course of a year.
Quality animation and a brilliantly told story, this is the only kind of drama I'll watch. Enjoy!
If you took out the supernatural events of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya it would be quite similar to Kare Kano.
I see a strong similarity between Kyon and Yokino, who both act as an anchor of normality for others to hold on to.
Another story which takes place in high school, but if you enjoyed this anime it means that you appreciate interesting plot, well-thought characters, great animation, fitted music and never borning, lively atmosphere - and this is exactly what you will find in recommended series.
In the future, a devastating event known as Second Impact has destroyed Tokyo as we know it, giving rise to Tokyo III - a city under siege by mysterious lifeforms known only as Angels. Mankind's only line of defense are the Evangelions, a set man-made machines piloted by a trio of fourteen year-old teenagers, Rei, Shinji, and Asuka. The fate of Japan and the entire world now lie with these three children, though they might not have the power to save the most important thing of all: each other.
3 votes
I agree
I know this is fairly obvious, as these are both really popular, but its worth pointing out. Each series is a thought-inducing, insightful, clever series that will be talked about for years to come. These are the series for the person who enjoys something a little more out there.
One of the aspects that made Evangelion very popular is Rei Ayanami the character who started the quiet girl type. Yuki Nagato from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is a parody of the quiet girl type. If you like one you should watch the other to appreciate both shows more.
It might seem that i'm speaking totally nonsense, but these series are probably two of the most deep background stories ever seen in japanese animation.
Both stories may seem banal at the very beginning, but i can tell you for sure that tha work behind them is as huge as your imagination can understand and even over, and you'll find out only keeping on watching.
Once upon a time, a creature named Enka tried to destroy everything on Earth. It was eventually slain by humans; but before dying Enka proclaimed that one day its child would return to the planet, spreading fear and despair throughout all humanity. Now, thousands of years later, DNA tests have identified six 'children of Enka'. Only one of them is dangerous, but nobody knows which one (and killing them all would be mean!) Instead, 'Operation Cozy Family' is born! Normal human Ouka Midarezaki is forced into marrying Kyouka, one of the children of Enka; and together they play the roles of 'father' and 'mother' for the other children. But will family bonding and love really be enough to prevent the destruction of the planet?

I agree
Both series feature hyperactive heroines with godlike powers (real or not), which gather some really unusual cast around them. They both also can't imagine their life as boring or plain - and while either of them is around, no one else can, too. These series are optimistic and fun, but still have some dramatic episodes. Check them out if you'd like hilarious, yet thoughtful experience.
First off, I have *never* seen two characters - in my ENTIRE life - as similar to each-other as Haruhi Suzumiya is to Kyouka from Kyouran Kazoku Nikki. Both girls (if you can call them that) not only are honestly under the impression they are superior to everyone else, but are also loud about this and completely unashamed of it. Kyouka even goes as far to refer to herself as GOD...and Haruhi herself *is* God (or, at least, a god).
Yet both Kyouka and Haruhi still care about the people around them - especially the normal male lead characters (Kyon in Haruhi and Ouka in Kyouran Kazoku Nikki), though in the case of said male leads, they do not like to admit it, even to themselves. Furthermore, the leading male characters in both shows are the only people who are capable of causing the loud, dominant female leads to change their minds or become flustered. (And when Kyouka and Haruhi become flustered, it doesn't last long - with an insult or excuse, they quickly revert back to their bossy, self-assured selves.)
There are other similarities in the characters and their dynamics with each-other, too; Mikuru in Haruhi and Yuka in Kyouran Kazoku Nikki are both meek, innocent girls Haruhi/Kyouka love to dress-up; Itsuki and Ginka are both smiling enablers to the lead female characer; Kyon and Ouka are both the voice of reason among craziness caused by Haruhi/Kyouka who don't appreciate being thrown into romantic situations with the lead female character and are constantly having their patience tested.
Really, though, both anime are centered around one normal guy and one loud, obnoxious girl and the craziness that follows them. And, while Kyouran Kazoku Nikki might be a bit more, uh, insane than Haruhi, both have the same basic styles of humor with serious moments mixed in - if you like/liked one anime, you will like the other.
The main thing I noticed while watching Kyouran Kazoku Nikki is that the main leads, Kyouka and Ouka, remind me of Haruhi and Kyon from Suzumiya Haruhi.
In these two shows, you have the female lead who's over-confident and throws everyone (especially the male lead) into strange situation (mostly because she's bored). The male lead is the one who is usually stuck in going along with the female lead's whims.
Maya Kumashiro is an uptight teenager who has returned to the Waldstein "Occult Academy" following her father's death to assume his role as principal. With a hatred of the supernatural, she initially intends to run the school into the ground, but her plans are thrown into chaos when a new teacher, Minoru Abe, descends from the sky. Claiming to be a time agent, Abe informs Maya that he has been sent from the future to prevent the Nostradamus prophecies from coming to pass. With a rift to another dimension due to open at the Waldstein Academy that will lead to aliens conquering the earth, the unlikely pair must locate a mysterious object known as the Nostradamus Key and destroy it before humanity falls prey to the occult once and for all.
3 votes
I agree
For starters both series focus quite a bit on the supernatural aspect with time travelers, monsters, and well other occult related subjects. With both series featuring a strong leading lady throw in some mystery, comedy, and just a bit of romance and it creates an enjoyable experience for just about anyone.
Both focus on the supernatural being there, but only in the background. Both also have a very shallow plot and focus more on interaction between the characters.
If you liked one, check out the other.
Occult Academy and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya both center around the supernatual and both show handle the subject manner in a humorous way most of the time. Both shows star a stong willed female leads that can be both adventurous and tomboyish, but at other times display a softer more vunerable side. Both shows also have alot of school life elements mixed in with action.
Seeking a cure for his depraved masochism, Taro Sado approaches the Second Volunteer Club on the recommendation of his best friend, Tatsukichi. There he finds the help of the violent but kind Mio Isurugi who promises to beat the masochism out of him by any means necessary. Will Taro be able to survive the assaults of this upperclassman, the overly-affectionate attentions of his mother and sister, and still lead a normal school life? Unlikely. But will he get over his perverse fetish? He sure hopes so.

I agree
These shows feature strong female leads who are arrogant (but cute at the same time) and order everyone around themselves, have lots of comedic elements and a bit of romance.
Imagine if you took the personalities from the characters in Haruhi Suzumiya and intensified them to the extreme! What you'd get would be MM! Both of these series feature the same types of characters but in MM! their interactions become over the top. Mio from MM! has a lot of striking similarities to Haruhi, from her bossiness to the slight god-complex to the comedic abuse of the male protagonist.
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya has a more in depth storyline with more well rounded characters while MM! relies more on its outrageous slapstick comedy. Both anime have undercurrents of romance weaved into the stories but MM! has more of a complex love triangle scenario. If you ever want to see what the characters of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya would look like from a more intensified perspective than I recommend MM!
both of these show feature a strong female lead albeit they sometimes suffer from delusions of grandeur. lots of zany laugh at loud moments.

Welcome to The Old White TPC at The Greenbrier
The Greenbrier's first 18-hole golf course was The Old White TPC, which opened in 1914. In 2006, the four-year restoration of the course was completed. This Charles Blair Macdonald design features several holes that are modeled after some of the most famous golf holes in Scotland and Ireland.
The Old White TPC's number 8 hole was styled after the "Redan" at North Berwick; number 13 after the "Alps" at Prestwick; and number 15 after the "Eden" at St. Andrews. One of the first golfers to play the course was President Woodrow Wilson in April 1914.
Part of the PGA TOUR's acclaimed TPC Network, which includes sister golf courses such as TPC Sawgrass, Home of THE PLAYERS, TPC River Highlands, host of the Travelers Championship and TPC Boston, host of the Deutsche Bank Championship, The Old White TPC's championship course was featured as one of America's 100 Greatest Public Courses by Golf Digest, as well as ranked #1 in the state of West Virgina by GolfWeek Magazine.
Following the catastrophic weather events faced by our community and the extensive damage caused, The Old White TPC at The Greenbrier will be closed for the remainder of the season. The Greenbrier Resort is open for guests and the Greenbrier Course is open for play through October. Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with all who have been affected.

Paper: Pittsburgh VA had most Legionella in area
PITTSBURGH -- The Department of Veterans Affairs' hospitals in the Pittsburgh area found far more Legionella bacteria than counterparts throughout the region, according to test samples from as far back as 2006 reviewed by the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
More than 160 samples tested by the VA Pittsburgh hospitals since 2007 contained the potentially deadly bacteria, including the University Drive hospital in Oakland, the H.J. Heinz campus in O'Hara and the Highland Drive facility, which is being phased out. About 100 positive samples were at Oakland, about 40 at Highland Drive and about 20 at O'Hara.
None of the five other hospitals in the Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 region that supplied records had more than nine positive samples, according to records obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request.
The newspaper requested Legionella test results from the VA Pittsburgh's three facilities and the nine other medical centers in VISN4.
Headquartered in Pittsburgh and headed by director Michael Moreland, the region includes most of Pennsylvania and parts or all of five neighboring states. Six hospitals, including Pittsburgh, provided the records.
The hospital in Erie, also part of the region, did not provide records, according to the newspaper.
The VA Philadelphia tests had nine Legionella-positive samples from 2008 to 2013. On one of those occasions -- Sept. 23, 2009 -- three of five samples tested positive, according to the records. VA national guidelines say its hospitals should implement anti-Legionella action plans if more than 30 percent of sample sites within the facility contain Legionella.
That September 2009 test was the only one outside of a Pittsburgh hospital to surpass the 30 percent threshold, records show.
Philadelphia stepped up its testing this year, according to the hospital's records.
Six samples at the VA hospital in Lebanon tested positive. The Coatesville VA in Chester County found no Legionella in its annual tests from 2008 through 2011. VA hospitals in Altoona and Wilmington, Del., also found no Legionella, records show.

Thank you again, and have a lovely day.
Mrs. Judy Anne Martin.
I just want to say, thanks for all the gorgeous pictures, I am unable to travel at any extent and enjoy Country so much. It takes me to places I would just love to see. My late husband and I were trucker drivers we were all over the USA and Canada and did get to see a lot, I have been getting this and Reminisce for years and years and it has brought me such pleasure, and I read them all from stem to stern. Again thanks a million. Jean Brashears, Rogers, AR
JEAN, what a beautiful statement/review from you. I, too, am disabled and had tostop traveling a couple of years ago. My husband and I have seen all 48 contiguous states by RV and my husband has been to Alaska, Hawaii, Korea, and Viet Nam thanks to the US Army. We are glad we were able to travel so so much when we were younger, before our health stopped our travels. God bless you and I wish you the very best.
I want to tell you how much I enjoy the Country and Country Extra magazines. So many
beautiful pictures and good stories. I just finished looking at the fall pictures and others
in this email and I wish you would post them so we could we could use them as wallpaper
or background on our computer.
I am always seeing pictures of places I would like to visit. Just keep up the good work and
don't change these magazines.

Historical Traveler Reviews Ramada Plaza Basel Hotel And Conference Center
Super Hotel
As we had never been to Basel before, we booked this hotel based on price and after reading reviews on tripadvisor. We booked a regular room but were given an upgrade on arrival to a lovely suite. Very modern and spotlessly clean. Bathrooms a good size and the underfloor lighting was certainly different. Excellent food in the restaurant and staff who spoke English, French, German.....American! Thoroughly excellent hotel.
Very Modern Hotel
We stayed a week at the Ramada Basel with a group of 85 Americans. The hotel was absolutely wonderful - not a complaint from anyone in the group.
The checkin was the most efficient I have ever seen for a large group. They had rooms pre-assigned and keys ready. The buses arrived from Zurich airport before noon - and just about everyone was checked in within 1/2 hour. Even though check in time is normally 3pm, only a few people had to wait for their rooms to be cleaned.
The breakfast buffet was wonderful, including eggs, bacon, hashbrowns, cereal, bread, meat, cheese, juice, etc.
The location is great, with a tram stop right by the hotel that gets you anywhere in Basel in 15 minutes or less. Lots of restaurants and shops close by.
The hotel is very modern and the rooms are especially so. Floor to ceiling windows in every room gave absolutely spectacular views. I loved sleeping with the shades open and the stars clearly visible. The blinds are inside the windows and automatically close when the sun is coming in brightly (though you can manually open them). The bathrooms are very modern with interesting fixtures and a lighted floor. Easy internet access including a pay computer in the lobby.
The staff was always friendly, efficient and helpful - all spoke English to some degree.
No need for a car in Basel, the public transportation system is outstanding.
I would absolutely recommend a stay in this hotel to anyone.
And be sure and try the disco bathrooms out. The disco is on the top floor and the bathrooms also have floor to ceiling windows! Luckily it's high enough up that no one can see details!
Be sure and do a ferry ride while you're in Basel. No motors, the current just carries them across the river along a guide wire.
Gute Lage, modernes Hotel
Das Hotel liegt gegen�ber von der Tramhaltestelle, einfach erreichbar. Das Zimmer hat Schl�sselkarten Zugang in den Aufz�gen. Das Zimmer hatte deckenhohe Fenster, einen klasse Blick �ber Basel.
Das Badezimmer war mit unkonventioneller Beleuchtung ausgestattet, der Boden war beleuchtet. Es gab am Empfang frische Fr�chte. Das Fr�hst�ck war gut aber teuer, man l�uft besser die Stra�e entlang und isst woanders. Alles war eh zu Fu� zu erreichen.
Fantastische Lage, sehr preiswert
Sehr moderne Zimmer, saubere W�sche, makellos. Klasse Fr�hst�ck, gute Auswahl, hilfsbereites Personal. Das Abendessen an der Bar/im Restaurant war preisg�nstig und gut zubereitet. Zentral gelegen. Sehr preiswert im Vergleich zu anderen Hotels in der N�he.
Fantastic location, great value for money
Very modern rooms, clean lines, spotless.
Breakfast great, good selection, helpful staff.
Evening meal in the bar/ restaurant was good value and well cooked.
Centrally located.
Great value compared to other hotels very close by.
Modern Hotel
The hotel is part of Basel convension center where all major exhibitions and confrences held. the tram station is cross the street, where you can reach the city center in tram no.6 after 5 or 6 stops. or you can walk 15 minutes and cross the river to reach the city center with all major shopping brands, cafes and restaurants. the hotel gave us transportation card where we can use the tram during our stay. the hotel is very modern (glass building) and the room wall is completly from glass. the best thing is the bathroom which completly very modern with lighting floor!. It is probably the best hotel in the lovely city of Basel.
Good location, Modern Hotel
Hotel is situated across from Tram station, easily accessable. Room key-card activated the elevators. Room had full floor to ceiling windows, great view of Basel. Bathroom had funky lighting, floor lit up. Fresh fruit was at the front desk. Breakfast was good, but pricey, better off walking down the road to eat. Everything was within walking distance anyway.
Possibly the coolest hotel in the world.
We had a corner room about 5 floors up with epic views over the city.
The windows are floor to ceiling.
The bathroom was lined in green glass, even the floor; that was lit from beneath!! We turned of all the lights except the "floor light", and shared a very romantic bath.
The bar is situated in wing of the hotel that cantilevers over the square below.
The design is very comtempory, which i would expect from the Swiss.
If you are in the design field, you really should check this place out.
Shame we were only there one night.
Very good hotel & location
This is a well run hotel that lives up to the Ramada reputation.
Rooms are very clean and modern with a bathroom you will not want to leave!
You get a free tram card from reception upon arrival but it is a very short walk to the center to see all the tourist attractions.
The rooms have a safe, TV and A/C.
Breakfast was amazing, it has everything, smoke salmon, eggs, sausage, breads, cheese ,fruit, cooked meats and even champagne!!!!!
my advice book now.
Excellent hotel
This is a safe and well-maintained business hotel with central location in Messeplatz. Rooms are tastefully decorated and have windows from top to floor. There are even lights in bathroom floor, which was an interesting detail. At least from 10th floor rooms the sights over Basel are remarkable. This hotel belongs to the highest residential building in Switzerland and it is a sight in itself. In a clear weather you can see even to France and Germany from the top floors of the hotel. We had a pre-paid deal from Octopustravel, only 77 euros per night per room, which I consider a bargain for a hotel of this quality. Do not forget to ask a free mobility card from reception, although you can easily walk anywhere in the center.

Day 5: taking it easy and crossing the border
Its always a little awkward doing this wild camping thing. Its not officially illigal, but its definitely not somethig that parents teach their kids. When jan climbed out the tent this morning, he startled an early morning dog walker who wasnt quite sure what to make of the situation.
We packed up rather quickly after that, and breakfasted on the almighty coco-pops. Om-nom-nom! We never buy this **** at home, but on a bike tour, we can ...

Schwarzwald Trip - Freiburg im Breisgau
... could only see it from the outside,
and it was under pretty major construction. I'm sure it's very
impressive, but our timing was just a bit off. The rest of Freiburg was
pretty built up and commercialized, mostly due to it being a college

Our Frist Stop- Basel
... the back streets of old town Basel to scope it out. I even made my way to the banks of the Rhine River, a short 5-10 minute walk from the hotel. Yvonne stayed back at the hotel, unpacking and simply relaxing as she did not sleep as much as I did on the planes.
It was an early to bed night as we needed to catch up on the missed sleep from the previous night. Tomorrow we start exploring!

No arrests in alleged Springfield solicitationJanuary 29,2013No arrests in alleged solicitation
SPRINGFIELD There will be no arrests in an alleged solicitation of a young girl in Springfield, according to Springfield Police Chief Doug Johnston.
Police interviewed the alleged victim after the incident but the girl could not recall what the man said to her, Johnston said. The police dropped the case based on lack of information.
The victim didnt know if he was mumbling or directing something at her, nor did she know whether he was on a phone, Johnston said. He is very slow and has a mental health issue on that aspect of things. To our knowledge there is no threat community.
According to the initial police report, the 12-year-old girl was walking home from Riverside Middle School on Jan. 14 when she saw a man and thought he asked for a sexual favor. The man walked behind her for one-tenth of a mile before the child crossed River Street and headed home, the police report said.
Police investigated the complaint after an off-duty state trooper and a group of youths recognized the man that approached the girl, according to Springfield Police Sergeant Robert Simmons.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON A North Bennington man who had worked as a crossing guard for the Village School of...

I went with the 165 grain Gold Dot's, these are what the vast majority of the LEO's use, if it works for them, it works for me.:D
December 6, 2007, 11:14 PM
I would not want to be shot with either. :neener:
December 7, 2007, 08:22 AM
Depends on how you define "performs better".
The FBI has a pretty detailed way of evaluating ammo. They shoot into ballistic gel through heavy cloth, wallboard, plywood, sheet steel, and auto glass. They score based on penetration, expansion, retained weight, accuracy, reliability, etc. They shoot, they measure, they score, they buy millions of rounds...
They are replacing their Speer 165 GD w a new enhanced 180 Ranger bonded load.
After the next run of 180 Ranger Bonded (RA40B) in Feb 08, it will be identical to the new FBI duty load (Q4355).
Most popular weight to US LE is the 180. Biggest federal customer is the DHS who buys mostly 155s, then the DOJ/FBI who bought mostly 165, until now when they have switched to 180 on the latest 5 year contract.
December 7, 2007, 02:24 PM
that depends entirly on the gun which it is fired from and the shooter, some guns like some loads more than others, that can be either, they unction better, or they are more accurate, a defensive load is useless if it isn't 100% reliable. also what is controlable and shootable to the particular shooter has a big impact, if you can't put multiple rds on target and hit the target in a timely manner than the defensive rds are again useless.
December 7, 2007, 04:26 PM
I think that the difference between these two excellent cartridges is negligible at best. I would try them both, and go with the one that gives you the best performance out of your gun. I use Gold Dot because none of the local gun shops here sell Rangers. However, it has been an excellent round and I have yet to see one that has a jacket failure.
