mtdew.. Good man.. Lot of fun at the range they are. Just keep your tax stamp with you, if your doing a rifle build.
Half the people say "What is that?"
Others "Is that legal?"
Like I have said before. They are great for down here in Florida, where long range shooting is 100 yards.
Once you set up your lower, j4 turned me on too some great upper prices.
Set up properly, they can reach out there and touch things at a good distance.
I will check more links on range reports and prices.
I have 4 and so far zero problems with them going bang.

I've recently read a 500 post thread that was sort of on this subject, though it was based on an article that many found inflammatory and unfair. As a consequence, little light was shed on the subject.
But it did get me to thinking about the subject, which may or may not have been a good thing.
Here's my premise: beekeeping is a kind of farming, and in this country, farming is in trouble, especially the kind of small scale farming that used to be the backbone of the country's agricultural production. For many years, the mantra in farming was Get Big or Get Out. And most small farmers did get out. The industry (and I use that word regretfully) is now dominated by by large-scale farming.
However, it seems to me that beekeeping is a form of agriculture that is poorly suited to large-scale implementation. Unfortunately, the marketing system seems to favor large-scale honey packers over beekeepers. The FDA's labeling requirements make it fairly easy for inexpensive imported honey to depress the prices that American beekeepers get for their product. Because of these lax requirement, it seems more difficult than it should be for beekeepers to market their product as superior to commodity imported honey.
To go back to the small farm analogy, any small farmer these days who tries to compete with agribusiness by raising commodity crops like corn and soybeans is on the road to bankruptcy. He just can't do it; he doesn't have the economies of scale, the capitalization, and the subsidies that make these crops so profitable for agribusiness. The only small farmers these days who seem to be prospering are those who have found ways to market their products as unique and in some way superior to commodity products. Think, for example, of organic farmers, or those who market specialty vegetable to restaurants, or who raise grass-fed beef... and so on.
It sure seems to me that the FDA could do more to help American beekeepers by requiring retail labels to show place of origin, degree of filtration, purity, etc., and devoting resources to enforcing these requirements.
I'm not even a beekeeper, so maybe I should sit down and shut up. But it must be pretty difficult for many smaller commercial beekeepers to make a living from honey production alone, competing head-to-head with cheap imported honey. I really like honey; I've discovered that honey varietals are every bit as interesting as wine varietals. Would it not be a good thing if local beekeepers could market their honey as special, as a product of their unique setting... rather than shipping barrels of honey at commodity prices to honey packers. (And I know that they can market locally, selling in local co-ops and farmer's markets and so forth) But that isn't a reasonable approach for a national market.
In France, many vintners make a very good living from very small vineyards, in part because the French authorities ferociously control the labeling of the product. We seem to be at the other end of the spectrum when it comes to labeling honey.
Anyway, sorry about writing a book, and my apologies in advance for any stupid stuff I've said.

About three weeks ago I submitted a letter to the editor of the Lebanon Daily News asking their readers if they could contact me with any info about Gerald and Linda. I never heard anything back from them.
Imagine my surprise when I logged onto Ancestry.com to find a message referencing this letter! The sender was writing on behalf of her mother, Emma, who wanted to talk to me. After a little back-and-forth and a few phone calls I managed to reach my Great Aunt Emma–Gerald's sister.
We're planning to meet in the next few weeks. I'm so excited to see her and some of the other family I've never met!

I'm new to beekeeping and today I attempted to remove a colony from the eve of building. I removed ALL of the brood and 95% of the honey comb. I could only get 1/4 of the bees. The rest of the bees clustered out of my reach. I put all the bees,brood and honey comb in a swarm box and placed it about 6-12 inches from the cluster of bees. The swarm box is in the place where the original colony was. I'm not sure if I got the queen, but I don't think I did.
Do you guys think that the rest of the bees will move into this swarm box because all their brood and honey comb is there?
Should I had went about this another way?
I had to work over my head the whole time, very tiring. If I didn't get the whole colony, at least maybe I'll have enough to start a nuc.

OK guys I have been looking at your different designs and a few questions arise?
What is the bees preference front or side entrance? How do you set up for winter in your tbh's? The look pretty drafty, would you apply top insulation to hold heat down? Now for more hive desighn questions. There seems to be to groups those using 15-16 in top bar and those using 22 in. top bar. In other word larger volume and a smaller volume. Why such a difference, for example dennis' hives a wide and deep and Scott and MB's are much shorter in width and depth. Why is this? Enlighten me? How would production from a commercial stand point be effected by the choice of design here along with winterability?
Oh ya, why is it none of you are using plywood? Just wondering as I may have excess to 1/2 in. ply at 11 bucks a sheet.
Clay- more questions to come!


text:
A> Because it's high quality
entertainment, with a depth that whups even top notch literary works 10 times
B> For Regis. Oh, that sassy Regis.
C> Because no one cares about those people stuck on the island. Hope they all
die, I do.
D> Money, money, money.
Yes folks, the final answer is D. Money. Scrilla. Cheddar. Dolla' bills,
y'all. Greed is good, remember? In this age of a tripped out economy and ne'er
do well dot-coms, it feels like the dream of success is at arms length. A show
like Millionaire lets people live vicariously - the questions are easy
enough, allowing the viewing audience to believe that they too have a shot at
riches and glory.
So, it's a ratings winner. Not because it's deep, provocative, or has an iota
of meaning, but because it's about one million dollars on the line. Next question:
A> To create the first true
work that would signify the stepping stone between gaming and high art.
B> For Regis. Oh, that artsy Regis.
C> Why, to get the very first Game Revolution A+, of course!
D> To prey on fans of the show, playing them off as suckers.
Screw the poll - it's D again.
The original game show has a single player in the hot seat. Regis asks them
questions. Each succeeding question nets more money, but becomes increasingly
harder. There are three lifelines that can be used when a question stumps you:
polling the audience, removing two choices, and calling a friend.
The game version has a single player answering a succession of questions with
increasing difficulty. The three lifelines are still there, with a virtual friend
of Regis offering the phone-a-friend support.
an attempt to simulate the overblown suspense of the TV show, with drawn out
pauses and the ever annoying "Is that yer final answer?" Makes for good television,
but it only manages to stall and slow down the game.
Between questions, there are some low key, uninspired graphics. Just sparkly
color whirls and cheesy CG of the Millionaire set. They've modeled the
chair and monitors of the show, and then just track the camera around it every
which way. Way to go for effort, people.
What really cracks me up is the cover of the game, touting "More Regis."
More Regis? What masochist out there wants more Regis, with his un-witty bantering
in his uniquely shrill voice and the constant arm gesturing? In the game, you
will get enough Regis solely with his voice reading all the questions. More
Regis is NOT a good thing.
On my first try, I won half a million, easy. I was rewarded with a check
on my TV screen. Getting that half mil wasn't fun. Everything I won after
that continued to be not fun.
So, what does a non-gamer think of Millionaire? For that, I turned
to my mom. She doesn't play games. She's watched the show a few times but isn't
a big fan. And as someone with the perspective of complete newbie, she still
doesn't like it. It just isn't fun to get boring, seemingly easy question after
boring, seemingly easy question.
The only thing redeemable about the game is a little joke between me and Reeg.
If you enter your name as "Regis," the one true Regis says, "Ya' liar.
There only one Regis!" Man, that guy gives me the creeps. Chalk one point up
for the only shard of creativity in this trivia wasteland.
When it comes to quiz show games, You
Don't Know Jack has always been my favorite. You'll find plenty of originality,
personality, and difficulty. Millionaire has none of those things. It
didn't have those things when it was a TV show, and it doesn't have those things
as a game. Jack had competition between two to four players. In Millionaire,
their idea of two player interactivity is one answering the questions while
the other sits slack jawed on his ass doing nothing.
In fairness, Millionaire the game does duplicate Millionaire
the show, except for one very significant factor. The money. That's all the
show is really about, and as a game with nothing on the line, it feels so pointless.
Some things simply don't translate into games. What'll be next? A Survivor
game? A Real World game?

New London — An engineering and environmental analysis of the proposed bridge that would carry pedestrians across Water Street to the planned National Coast Guard Museum has concluded that the best location for the structure would be from Parade Plaza to the current site of the Greyhound bus terminal.
If that location were chosen, the bus terminal would be moved across Water Street to a vacant lot in front of the city-owned Water Street Parking Garage, the report states. The 178-page report, done by Milone & MacBroom for the state Department of Economic and Community Development, considered four other locations for the bridge as well as a tunnel but found significant drawbacks to those alternatives. The state has committed $20 million toward the planning, design and construction of the bridge, which is considered a critical component of the Coast Guard museum.
Tammy Daugherty, director of the city's Office of Planning and Development, noted that the conclusions of the report will not necessarily be followed by the architects who will ultimately design and build the museum and bridge. A ceremonial groundbreaking for the museum took place this spring, but construction has not yet begun.
The nonprofit National Coast Guard Museum Association has begun a fundraising campaign, and federal funds are also being sought. The total cost of the museum, which could open by 2017, is estimated at $80 million.
The report, called an Environmental Impact Evaluation, was required under the state Environmental Policy Act. The act requires that projects that receive state funding be evaluated to determine the impact on physical, biological, social and environmental resources.
Public comment on the report will be received through Monday.
Daugherty said a public hearing on the report on Aug. 7 drew about a dozen people. Concerns about impacts of the bridge on historic structures, aesthetics of the downtown and traffic were expressed, she said. The city will be submitting written comments addressing issues about shared ownership and maintenance responsibilities for the bridge between the city, the museum, Cross Sound Ferry and other stakeholders, she said. It will be up to the project architects to determine how best to meet to the various challenges raised in the report and the public comments, she said.
Twitter: @bensonjudy
The report can be found in the New London city clerk's office and also at www.ct.gov/ceq/lib/ceq/NCGM_EIE.pdf.
Comments on the report should be sent by Aug. 25 to: Nelson Tereso, Department of Economic and Community Development, 505 Hudson St., Hartford, CT 06106, or via email to email@example.com.
For more information about the document, contact Mark Hood at the DECD at (860) 270-8089 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Dinner with Mei-Ling: ManBQue
Mei Ling Lam discovers one of the coolest gentlemen's clubs that's perfect for any man who loves to grill outdoors with friends.
There is no denying that we women love a girls' night out! We have an unlimited number of cocktails and at that point, who knows what we will chat about. Sex, love, dating…It is a night of escape from our "one and only," of course some ever-so-entertaining gossip and plates of delicious eats! However, a girls' night out is not even remotely close to what I have recently come across: MANBQUE (in my deep manly voice)! It is a group of gentlemen who take male bonding to a whole new level!
ManBQue's home base is on Chicago's North Side. Created in 2006 by a group of seven men with a passion for grilling, beer, and nothing but good times with men only, ManBQue has gone from only seven members to 400 and counting. They have multiple chapters, all the way from Japan to my favorite city, Bean Town! Not only does ManBQue give you the most exhilarating experience you could possibly have with a group of men, it also has strict guidelines you must abide by as well.
Some of my favorite rules:
Vegetarians are not allowed at ManBQue. (Unless they bring us meat…or allow us to throw tomatoes and eggs at them.) When referring to a female life partner, a woman you are currently having "relations" with, a woman who has borne your spawn or any other woman (not blood related) whom you let into your living space more than twice a week, you must refer to this woman as "my Old Lady." ManBQue should only be held during the week. Weekends are for CoedBQues where there is a slight chance of actually going home with a woman. You must bring enough beers to share. Trading of beers is only allowed if beers being traded are of equal value and taste. Be aware that your beer is a reflection of you and you will probably be judged based on your selection. Swords and power tools are encouraged to be on hand at ManBQue. You must shout at ManBQue. Always exaggerate at ManBQue.
I can't help but chuckle when I read my favorite rules that ManBQue demand. There are many more rules, but I just wanted to share my favorites!
ManBQue creates some of the greatest dishes, whether it is at their local chapter or at an event. Yup, they even do catering! They pride themselves on Southern-style service with attention to detail. They have two prepared menus, a Burger Bar or Taco Bar, but of course they can create a customized menu just for you!
ManBQue is the hot new thing in my book! They have definitely topped the occasional girls' night out with their ManBQue shout-outs, rules and their passion for grilling. I encourage all men to be a part of ManBQue! It's fun and serves up some grilling foodgasms! What more can a man ask for?

History takes Centre Stage at Royal Armouries, Leeds - Thursday, 6 September 2012
Royal Armouries is joining forces with Yorkshire-based Angus & Ross Theatre Company to stage the world premiere of Kings of Cloth of Gold on September 29 and 30.
Funded by Arts Council England and written by Tony Lidington, the play forms part of the Royal Armouries' Inspired by …. project and is billed as a witty new historical comedy, telling the story of the Field of Cloth of Gold.
The theatre company has worked closely with Royal Armouries to ensure the play's historical accuracy – including fight instruction training and gaining inspiration for costumes, props and set design.
Karen Watts, Senior Curator of Armour, who provided support with scriptwriting, said, "I am delighted to be working so closely with the playwright, Tony Lidington and set designer, Ruth Paton to create a deliciously witty and historically accurate script for this new family show. The production is inspired by our displays in the Tournament Gallery, where we have the actual armour worn by Henry VIII at the Field of Cloth of Gold!"
"Here at the Royal Armouries in Leeds, we have the original armours and weapons from the 16th century, and the actors have managed to bring them to life. We are instantly transported back to a tournament field in France filled with tents of gold. The actors have been learning combat techniques from our own Senior Interpreter, Andy Deane and it is as though the armours of the kings have escaped from their glass cases and are walking, talking and fighting!"
The play focuses on King Henry VIII of England (Dominic Goodwin) as he meets Francis I of France (Emanuel Brierley) at the most magnificent tournament ever held – the Field of Cloth of Gold in 1520. The tournament attracted the name as many pavilions were crafted from costly gold cloth, making it the byword for extravagance.
The two kings compete to outdo each other in displays of wealth, wit, feasting and sporting prowess. Each king is proud, intelligent, and the epitome of chivalry. But who will eventually win this battle of vanity?
The play starts its 50-date national tour with an official opening during the weekend of September 29/30, at the Bury Theatre, within the Royal Armouries in Leeds. The production is also rehearsing at Helmsley Arts Centre where preview shows will be staged on September 26 and 27.
Director Em Whitfield Brooks said, "We are delighted to be working with the Royal Armouries, who are giving us so much advice and expertise in the telling of this important story. Inspired by the Tournament Room at the Leeds museum, our designer Ruth Paton is working closely with staff to ensure we honour the historical accuracy. It's very exciting to work so closely with the real experts in bringing this moment in history to life."

Sentimental Journey Orchestra
'Memorial Memories' concert honors military May 28
By Alison Beshur
Public Affairs Specialist
(May 26, 2006)--UTSA's Institute of Texan Cultures will host a musical tribute to the nation's military men and women of today, yesterday and tomorrow in the third annual "Memorial Memories" concert from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday, May 28 at the museum, 801 S. Bowie St. The event is free and open to all.

The Sentimental Journey Orchestra, under the direction of Ted Conerly, will play Big Band swing music of the 1940s and 1950s. Brass, swing and wind musicians' and vocalists' renditions of old standards will inspire concertgoers to tap their feet and snap their fingers to the timeless tunes of this defining period in American history. Each branch of service will be recognized.
A hangar façade, military jeep, historical photos and stage-door canteen, where brownies will be served during intermission, will set the stage for the concert. A multimedia presentation on the museum's dome screens will showcase a plane taking off, flying over the audience and landing just as the music begins on the museum's exhibit floor.
Bruce Hoff, "Memorial Memories" project coordinator, said the event reflects on the sacrifices troops have made from the Civil War through the present-day war in Iraq.
"This is the music that kept up the morale of those brave men and women stationed far away from home and facing boredom and loneliness interrupted by episodes of terror," Hoff said. "The music also inspired hope for those left behind facing the anxiety of separation."
"Whenever our men and women in uniform are called to action, they leave with hope of joyous reunions with family and friends," Hoff said. "However, each Memorial Day, we must all pause and remember those brave men and women who did not return."

Plug In and Play in Silicon Valley
Madison Street Inn • Santa Clara, CA
Escape Kit
- Two-Night Stay for Two with Breakfast in the Madison or Monroe Room
- Bottle of Wine
- $25 Credit Toward Dinner at Mio Vicino
The Destination
If you're looking to get into the thick of California's Silicon Valley, Santa Clara is your destination. Located in the heart of the famed tech center, Santa Clara is a veritable history lesson in the area's architecture: Colonial-style missons give way to the stately columns of college campuses that fade into ulta-modernist technology headquarters—the common denominator being the palm trees that sway in the Northern California breezes. Amid all this modernity is a breathtaking natural landscape that includes hike-able rolling mountains, sprawling vineyards 20 minutes away, and three sparkling creeks that flow into San Francisco Bay.
The Digs
The historic, pet-friendly Madison Street Inn is located just an hour south of San Francisco. Each of the six rooms is individually decorated and cable TV and DVD players are standard. The Monroe comes with a queen-size brass bed, a private bathroom with a shower and soaking tub for two.

DUPE!!! my bad.
Last edited by techron; 02-15-2008 at 04:23 AM.
And this is why you have to be extremely careful around either of them. Basically, our body oxidizes food using the O2 from the atmosphere. In essence, we are doing a "slow burn" in order to live. N2 and CO2 have a tendency to displace the O2 in the atmosphere, thus preventing our slow burn. No O2, no life. Hard to enjoy a nice paint job in that state.
Maybe you are thinking of H2 (the gas, not the vehicle). Think Hindenburg.
Ok, here's what I wonder...why aren't paint gun companies trying to develop airless methods of spraying paint?
It is an accepted method of coating application in the fiberglass industry and house painters all use airless sprayers.
Absolutely no thinning is necessary, so less solvents go into the air, and viscous materials are routinely sprayed at wet film thicknesses of .015" or .020". .
It puts most all of the paint on the part too, without fancy gas generators.
Later, mikey
my signature lines...not really directed at anyone in particular..
BE different....ACT normal.
No one is completely useless..They can always be used as a bad example
Mikey, in the early days of VOC rules (after the "Clean air act" of 1990 in Ca) the equipment manufacture did EVERYTHING to try to make a system to beat it. "Throwing" the paint on with an airless was just one of them. They even thought that some day we would be applying the finish in a big applique vinyl sheet! Then they figured that the auto manufacture would paint the parts and we wouldn't even have the rights to paint.
The early HVLP guns were a living hell! And the equipment was just the beginning, how about the products? HOLY HELL, they just DROPPED the solvents out, that was their solution to the problem, no VOC in the product, no VOC problem. HOLY CRAP, they made the friggin crappiest junk to work with ever. And this was dumped on us in just a few years. Lacquer was dropped, urethanes were "new", it was hell.
But after all is said and done, there are some damn good products out there and damn good equipment to apply it.
Never said I have had it that high, That little Lycoming sure would be doing some gasping but we like to think big don't we?
Is the nitrogen being used on the planes that fly higher? I mean, REALLY on all of them? What was the big difference when they weren't using it? For that matter, when were they just using air, when did it change?
It's a heat issue.
The reason airlines and race car crews fill their tires with nitrogen has absolutelly nothing to do with rate-of-loss or oxidation or even fuel economy. Nitrogen expands and contracts at a lesser rate with changes in temperature than atmospheric air. The process of separating the nitrogen out for the tanks used in this process removes the moisture content in normal air. It is the presence of moisture that causes the noticable increase in tire pressure with temperature increase. This is a BIG deal when you cruise at 200mph for 500 laps and you need all the traction you can get (meaning keeping the pressure as low as regulations allow).
It makes a big difference on airlines for massive planes coming into land where tire temperatures skyrocket rapidly. Again, keeping expansion down gives the pilots better traction, hence better control, during the rollout.

There would be NO change in internal tire pressure due to a decrease in atmospheric pressure. There would be a slight increase in the DIFFERENCE between internal and external pressure due to the fact that atmospheric pressure would be less at altitude, but even this would most likely be more than offset due to the drastic drop in temperature that occurs at higher altitudes. As far as using Nitrogen to control pressure on aircraft tires it very well could make a difference on landing with all that heat build-up and the point about the moisture content in regular compressed air makes a lot of sense.
Ok so I figure I should get this right since I started it with erroneous info, so I did a bit of research. Nitrogen offers the advantage of being dry, inert (does not support combustion), and does not damage the tire inner liner. It is also stable with temp change which is a big concern in aviation. Not in a cessna as that is not much different than a car, but in airliners, fast jets, heavy transport.
Here's a couple of links with good info.
As for my comment about expansion at altitude I have no idea why I said that. Even though there is a difference in pressure at altitude the tires internal volume of gas will not change, regardless of the gas inside. The pressure differential would increase and the tire would 'grow' as altitude increases but it wouldn't matter what gas is inside as to how much growth you would have. Due to the construction of the tire it would probably be negligible.
Speede, There must be some big advantage to using Nitrogen, I have noticed that several outfits now offer Nitrogen tire inflation outfits that are quite spendy, don't know why someone who wanted to use it could not just use a tank of compressed Nitrogen and a regulator it would be a heck of a lot cheaper? Nitrogen (using a tank and regulator) is used on suspension struts on large off road haul trucks and the same equipment used to charge these could easily fill tires since it is just a simple regulator, hoses and fittings. Since these struts are partially filled with oil they would certainly diesel under load and shock if regular air was used so it is understandable why they use Nitrogen but I have never seen it used in the tires of these big rigs though, maybe it would be a good idea? The sales pitch for those tire filling rigs (I think even Harbor Freight has one!) claims substantially longer tire life and increased fuel mileage so maybe it is something that will soon become common.
We use it on tires, struts, hydraulic ressvoirs and accumulators. We use bottles but I know that when I was in the military we had a few nitrogen generators. Very expensive back then. As they are becoming more common the cost may become more business friendly but even with our volume we can't justify anything but bottles. Mind you our bottles are in a cart with a regulator/booster that is worth 5g's or so. If nitrogen is that much better for tires I would imagine trucking fleets would benefit from it's use. How long does a tire last before it gets chucked these days. I've never heard of a problem with inside tire wear (how many times can you recap a tire) so I would suspect the big gain is stable tire pressures which give better, more consistent gas mileage. On the stock car after just 25 laps our tires pressures can rise 15-20% using air.
The Paragraph above was taken from the link
Does anyone else see 'BS' written all over this paragraph?
As the link says all gases expand at the same rate so you will see the same increase in Pressure with a measured increase in temp. for air as Ni. (or for any mix of gases for that matter).
But at higher temp, water becomes a gas; water evaporates inside the tire as temperature rises.
If water becomes a gas then it behaves exactly as the other gases including Ni, they say that in the first sentence. With regards to moisture content in the tire can someone explain to me how water vapor that expands less than or the same as a gas can affect the total volume/pressure of a tire when it occupies less than 1% of the total gas in the tire. This reasoning has been mentioned a few times in this thread. If you believe this and want a gas that is dry and behaves exactly like Ni fill your tires up with the same air you spray paint with. No moisture, no problems.
And nitrogen permeates out much slower than oxygen, so pressure changes due to that leakage are almost eliminated, compared with ambient air.
How is the leakage of a few molecules of air going to affect a tire in a few hours of a race? (Even if this is true your talking about such a small amount of time difference it is probably incalculable).
Keep in mind this web site is put there by the people selling Ni. I think the Ni theory for road vehicles should be on the same shelf as the rest of the snake oil products that the auto industry seems to be saturated with.
I have yet to read a decent explanation as to why it is advantageous to use Ni in car tires.
How about straying cars with it, what do you think about that.
Oh right the original post.
I have no clue. I have never sprayed a car. You're the expert - you should be telling us!
Sounds expensive though.
Edit - Brian -- You know I am serious about that. I am tired of being told by companies trying to sell their products what is true or false. It is up to people who know what they are talking about (like yourself) to debunk these myths and stop people wasting their hard earned cash on crap. Thank god for forums and the internet, if you look hard enough you will always find the truth. (Also thank you Jon for all your hard work on your powerTV detective work)

text: Sooo, My name is Kady, I'm 20 years old, and I live in Massachusetts. I have a 96 Suburban 2500, and a C1500 Pick up. Anything else ya wanna know, just ask. I'm not too sure whatelse I'm supposed to put here. EDIT*** Ok, I'll start with the beater first. its a Red 92 C1500, 2wd, 4.3, [COLOR=blue! important][COLOR=blue! important]Single [COLOR=blue! important]Cab[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] , Long bed, W/T model. I bought it to haul the dirtbikes around, so I really didn't do much to it.. It needed an [COLOR=blue! important][COLOR=blue! important]exhaust[/COLOR][/COLOR] , so I replaced it from the manifold back, eliminating the cat. And that's how it sits now. I was gonna make it a project truck, lower it, put some decent wheels and tires on it, get new nose clip and black out the windows. I've just been lazy.. Then I have my 96 Burb 2500, 4wd, 5.7, Its black / Pewter two tone, i painted the girll black to match the truck, tinted the windows to 13%, put wheels from an 04 HD with BF Goodrich All Terrains, 10k HID kit. I'm picking up a strobe kit this weekend for it. This summer, when its warm enough for me to take my motorcycle to work, I plan on lifting it and getting some wheels and [COLOR=blue! important][COLOR=blue! important]tires[/COLOR][/COLOR] . I haven't decided how big I want to go yet. I use my [COLOR=blue! important][COLOR=blue! important]truck[/COLOR][/COLOR] for work and it may be difficult to do so with a huge lift. So I might just do 2 or 3 inch blocks in the back, torsion keys in the front, and get hummer wheels with some 33's. I heard only minor fender trimming would be needed for that. I also have a 3" cowl hood on the way as well. And that's about it for now

Bruce and a few of his current and former staff are members over at SiGForum. Have been for years. When it comes to metalurgy in general and applications in gunsmithing, Bruce is a HUGE resource of information. I have not had any work done, personally, by the Gray Guns staff but would NOT hesitate should I ever have the inclination. He has also in the past gone over models that were having a large number of problems, identified what he felt were the significant aspects of those problems and not only got the fixed for those that sought him out, but sent his inspections, finding and recommendation to SiG to conside. Straight up guy that doesn't blow any sunshine, IMO. BTW, my only personal contact with him has been very limited and via threads and a few posts over at SiGForum.
As for the mags, Dave at DKMags.com has the 18's but is also out of the 20's. I've dealt with him several times in the past and have no qualms recommending him.
Tom and his staff at TopGunSupply curerntly show them in stock: http://www.topgunsupply.com/mec-gar-...azine-afc.html Cannot recommend any vendor any higher than I do Tom and TGS. Their service is beyond excellent and you will get what you order faster than you think you would compared to anyone, even a short drive into town to buy whatever it is. They ARE that quick.

The Wauwatosa School District could add a virtual charter school to its options under a presentation made to the School Board on Monday night.
Ed Mahony, an administrator in the district assigned to the task, presented case studies of actual - though unnamed - Wauwatosa students who had taken classes online, including their reasons, the circumstances under which some succeeded and others did not, and their varied outcomes.
Records of more than 50 students were compiled in the study, said Director of Student Learning Beth Erenberger.
For years the district, under special circumstances, has paid for students to participate in virtual learning at an outside institution, such as Wisconsin Virtual School or the Advanced Learning Academy of Wisconsin, Erenberger said.
The circumstances under which students have sought online learning include those with scheduling conflicts, lost academic credits, and medical conditions that prevent them from attending school. So-called super seniors looking to get their degree and students seeking specific courses have also pursued online opportunities.
Tosa students who don't qualify for district funding have the option of enrolling privately in virtual schools and paying for it themselves, and Mahony said there are families in the district who sign up for open enrollment and enroll in an outside district that offers a virtual education option.
Mahony, who serves as the district's detention center administrator, said that, in some cases, virtual learning has allowed students who have struggled to achieve success. For others, it has not worked. He said virtual learning with a teacher present, who acts as a coach, is a combination that works for some.
A hybrid model, with a student taking some classes in a traditional setting, and some virtual classes, is another benefit, Mahony said.
School Board members generally supported the concept as an option that gives students more choice, which officials say fits in with the district's general approach.
"Our philosophy in Tosa now is to give students choices," West High School Principal Frank Calarco.
A frustrated student who runs out of options starts to frustrate other students, so virtual education can change student attitudes, Calarco said, adding. "I've seen it first-hand already working."
Lois Weber also praised the plan as another path for students to achieve success, and Mary Jo Randall said she saw great potential in offering accelerated classes.
Mahony said that by creating a virtual charter school the district could not only keep students who seek a virtual education in the Wauwatosa system, but, if it had a statewide reach, could enroll students from other districts and potentially create a revenue source.
Phil Kroner said he'd have to think about it.
"Some students were leaving us and going to other districts," he said, "so to counter this we're (creating a virtual school) to take students from other districts."
Anne Fee wondered about the wisdom of creating a virtual charter school, as opposed to offering a virtual program. If a student wanted some virtual classes and some traditional classes, would they have to enroll in the virtual school?
"Is it acceptable to be dual-enrolled?" she asked.
Director of Human Resources Dan Chanen said the presentation was intended to get a sense from the board if they had an interest in pursuing the plan. A more formal proposal with more detail on funding, how the school would work, and the dual-enrollment issue, would be forthcoming, he said.

Cracker Barrel: Elves at work
The basement of my boyhood was not a large one, barely big enough to house the furnace, Mom's laundry tubs and wringer washing machine, a sump pump, the water pump and a little workshop. Once the big coal furnace was replaced by a smaller gas unit and the coal bin was removed, the workshop doubled in size, which still left it roughly half the size of a narrow one-car garage.
But tiny as it was, for several months each year the basement workshop became the site of vigorous activity on the part of me and many of my friends. Like Santa's elves, we worked creating many Christmas gifts, most of them fashioned from wood or plaster of Paris.
The items of wood took many forms, ranging from wood-burned coasters and plaques, toy pistols and swords, crudely fashioned model bi-planes, classier race cars, at least one recipe box, and a painstakingly hand-sawed-and-nailed, pitched-roofed, dark-stained, plywood manger a foot or so in height, breadth and depth, kept in annual Christmas service for the ensuing 60 years.
As to those things made of plaster, the size of the item was dictated by the size of the mold into which the plaster was poured. Given the limited number of molds at our disposal, this meant large or small.
Large included a dozen different characters from Disney comics, including such luminaries as Mickey and Minnie, Goofy, Pluto and Donald Duck. Small meant tiny brooches and decorative pins cast with a safety-pin catch.
Creations of both sizes, once cured and stripped from the mold, were dutifully painted with as much artistic skill as we could muster. One of my favorites was a delicate fawn coat pin painted light brown and speckled with white dots.
As I recall, it measured less than two inches in length and because of its size was difficult to paint. The brushes we had seemed much too large for the dainty work at hand, which, coupled with our lack of skill, made the outcomes rather disappointing.
But despite the imperfections, we never quit trying, and over time produced many dozens of gifts, almost all of which were then wrapped up and given away at Christmas. Our mothers, paragons of patience and diplomacy, never failed to express delight and surprise at the opening of yet another set of coasters or decorative plaster finery.
And younger siblings came to possess whole families of brightly painted figurines modeled after their favorite cartoon characters, though many of the plaster bodies soon sported missing arms and ears and even heads, given the softness of their material and the youthful vigor of their owners.
While most of our basement efforts were spent making gifts, we also managed to build a couple of trestles on which to place a 6-foot length of plywood upon which we occasionally played ping pong, but more commonly used as a base for our model electric trains.
The trains afforded hours of winter delight. We fashioned mountains of papier-mache, created tunnels through a few of them, constructed whole villages of cardboard buildings, strung telephone and power lines of thread between Tinkertoy poles, and stacked piles of Lincoln Logs adjacent to the railroad station.
I don't recall the various brands of toy train sets, other than Lionel and American Flyer, but I do remember feeling an uncommon degree of affection for them and, along with my friends, was truly moved at the sight of a circling model train, delighted at the clickety click it made as it rolled over the jointed sections of track, and loved inhaling deep drafts of the unique electrical-storm smell that issued from the train's transformer.
But then it was time to get back to work.

Will you pray for me?
These words are said by people so often. How often have you been asked this question?
When someone asks me to pray I am both happy and humbled. I am happy because they see in me a positive light of faith. Belief in God is affirmed in me and in the other through this question and that makes me feel happy. Humbled because I think to myself, who am I to ask God for anything? Yet, I believe God is willing to hear a plea from my own weak heart. The request is simple, but profound.
The question comes to us from many different people; maybe friends, family, strangers, children, spouses or pastors. The child-like faith of this question anticipates a loving God and a loving neighbor. A sense of communion and unity is shared in asking another to pray for us.
Let's bring this a little closer to the heart and home now. When someone asks for prayer, do I bring their need to the Lord? Easily one can forget to place the request in the heart of God. So, I might encourage a reminder note, or a prayer right on the spot. Then, come back to the Lord with it later in your regular daily prayer. Don't say, "I will," unless you intend to pray.
Now, we need to dig a little deeper in trust of God and one another. Rather than a simple prayer for the other, why not a prayer right there with the other. Christ made a statement about us being together, "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." (Matthew 18:20)
Our prayer with one another brings us to a deeper surrender and trust of God who loves us and helps us.
You know we never approach God alone, because God is never alone. The communion of love that exists in God is a unity of persons always present. So, the greater effect and reality of prayer is done together.
To proclaim, celebrate, live and pray in the Lord we need each other. All too often we want to go it alone, and it really isn't the way. Think of heaven. They aren't alone with God; they are together with God. So, too, should we be in prayer.
Pray more together. We need each other more and more as we approach in joy and humility the mighty throne of God. Praise Him together. Most of us are better off in a choir than singing solo. Going it alone is always a weaker place to be in life.
Might we be a great witness to those who ask for prayer and for those around us if we stop right on the spot and offer a prayer? Would not our faith, hope and love as the People of God be greater bonded if we invited each other to prayer?
I invite all of us to consider prayer groups in our churches, our homes, our public places. I recently prayed with someone in the middle of crowded room at a public gathering. Why not? It's important we remember He is always with us, and we can approach Him whenever a need is brought up. Prayer together is a mighty thing.
And so, I ask a new question. Will you pray with me?

It looks like the server is down
Server seems pretty up for me.
Edit: Made second floor of apartments and furnished it up a bit.
Yea i just saw it was up again..
So yeah i wanted to ask for a Task .. you know. I build on my own a house, build some streets and added a bit light.. Before i do anything else .. i want to ask on what i should do
Hey, could I get a whitelist?
IGN's evlbzltyr
Alright, so we've just about finished the large mansion-y type place. If anyone needs anything to do they can add some furnishings in the top floor (using some of the various designs from here, if you don't mind) until there's a new task.
Also, I couldn't help but notice our current elevator is basically a gibbering wreck of bricks. I found a tutorial that hopefully someone can follow to get it into a functioning member of society.
It shouldn't be too complex - I was able to build one, so anyone who's anywhere near competent in Redstone use should be able to have it done in a jiffy.
Whitelist pls
MC Name: Mattyyy
Oh nice, I got banned for trying to contribute to the project. Nice job picking medal as an admin guys.
Requestin' whitelist. In-game name is same as Facepunch.
(I was in the last Megabuild)
Can you guys please remove his admin position? Ninja Duck was fucked in the ass too because of him. He's a fucking asshole that does not deserve his position.
been trying to connect for about a hour .. does not work
Serverlist says its up but i get timed out
So he has destroyed the Hotel because he didn't like how it looked, destroyed my fences, house, and possibly my slaughterhouse for no reason. Sounds like a A+ admin right there.
The big house i've made ?
God damnit, why ?
I cant seem to connect to any server .. whats going on :s
made some screenshots
The fences made it look a lot better in my opinion. Without it the road just looks too plain and boring.
Agreed. Torches on them also made everything look bright and better.
He still kept my pool. Why? The pool looks awful without fences or anything. God he is bad at decoration. He even put back the redstone torches.
Why do you guys make everything look dark and shitty? Put some glowstone somewhere or something not redstone torches.
which fences are you guys talking about ?
He changed a lot in my house too
like removed the staircase to the 3rd floor
I can't connect to any server apparently, it just says "Logging in..." with Minecraft frozen.
He also banned me for not removing the fences. I was waiting for him to give me a fucking reason so maybe we could work something out, but nooooooo.
Also he kept fucking up the top floor of the largest building. But he didn't even fuck it up right: he half-destroyed a staircase and plugged up the hole leading to the attic. I figured it was just a lazy griefer, so when I fixed it and came back and found a sign angrily telling me not to fix it again, I was scared I'd get banned.
Theres no point on building and building to let it removed later by a random guy
i'll wait till this is sorted out
We should boycott the server until he's gone.
He also knew that he was a whining fuckheep and he didn't do anything about it earlier.
Heyheyhey, can I get whitelisted or somethank? That'd be great.
i listened
but seriously, don't worry about it. by popular decision it has been done.
Still gotta put all my shit back in through.
Looks better now.
if any of you happen to have a problem with any aspect of the project, post on the thread. all this stuff is to be dealt with openly.
eg: someone told me that they dont like the way the project's headed, with a village built inside the dome. it is not what i had in mind either, but i cant (as suggested) just erase everything inside and tell you people to deal with it.
With the other build, we had a defined style, with defined districts and we did things piece by piece. Now, we dont have any of that.
If we can all agree on a singular goal (or at least what that goal may look like) we'll go a lot faster and we won't spend twenty minutes walking around wondering at the possibilities if the possibilities are more limited.
Some sort of community vote, maybe?

Char Nelson named Crosslake clerk
Former deputy clerk Char Nelson was appointed Crosslake city clerk and interim treasurer at a continuation of a Crosslake City Council meeting on Tuesday, March 19.
Additionally, the council decided at a special meeting Monday, March 25, that it will advertise to hire a finance director/treasurer for the city.
The council has been debating how to staff its administration department since former city administrator Tom Swenson resigned in December 2012. Additionally, former clerk/treasurer Jenny Max recently resigned.
While Nelson is moving from deputy clerk to clerk, the council did not discuss hiring another deputy clerk.
Job descriptions drafted by Dan Vogt, a consultant the city hired, were approved for both the clerk and finance director/treasurer for the city.
Vogt recommended that even if the city does not have an administrator, it should have a "point person" for staff. He suggested the finance director/treasurer take that position.
The council also discussed pulling Nelson out of the union she's currently a part of. Vogt said that in his experience, the clerk position is generally not a part of the union. Steve Fecker, the city's labor attorney, will be contacted for more information on that process.
The council also approved a pay raise for Nelson, who will now be paid $4,579 a month ($54,948 a year). The council decided that the finance director/treasurer position will be advertised at a pay range of $50,000 to $55,000. Applications for the finance director/treasurer will be accepted until April 19 at 4:30 p.m.

I have had 3 courses for learning how to score well on the LSAT (Kaplan, Princeton, Law School Admissions Council). Lesson 5 of this course has shown me that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. The instructor makes it clear and not overwhelming. At the end of the other courses, I still felt nervous about taking the LSAT. After both of these courses, I feel sure that I will be ready.
Words cannot express how much I truly appreciate your LSAT Courses both part I and II. I have learned more in your courses than in all the LSAT courses I've taken in the past. I had periods of tension, but nothing like what I experience in a classroom. I prefer online studies more than classroom setting. Thank you once again and all your staff members. You really improved my knowledge in understanding the LSAT.

Gadget Geek's Guide to Father's Day
If your Dad loves gadgets, he'll love any of these gifts for Father's day!
Consider this a public service announcement: June 17th is Father's Day. You have exactly eleven days left to get your old man the perfect gift to show just how much he means to you. While you're looking, you can go sign up for the That's My Boy Sweepstakes we're currently holding, which gives you a chance to go to any Playboy Golf event with your dad, but signing up for that and hoping for the best is a major gamble. Just like us, our dad is a major gadget geek. He loves his cameras, catches E3 updates live through Twitter and would never dare leave the house without his smartphone. If your father fits that description, here are some great gadgets to buy your dad that we're positive he'll love.
Humminbird 360 Imaging Fish Finder
Remember all of that incredible footage James Cameron released when he went down and shot the never-before-seen interior of the Titanic? I bet nine out of ten dads wished that they could use that kind of technology to better their days out on the lake chasing their big fish. Humminbird, a company that has been cornering the market on sonar technology for years, has released a new product, 360 Imaging, which gives anglers a detailed 360° view of what's around their boat. This product also one-ups competitors by having the option to see up to 150 feet in front of the boat, "either in full 360 mode or by isolating your sweep area." For more information, check out their site here: hummminbird.com
Price: $570
Specs: Isolate sweep areas, preset views, mark waypoint, adjust color, split view screens
Denon Networking Home Theater Reciever
Has your dad spent the last few years of his retirement buying all of the bells and whistles to create one of the most ridiculous home theaters this side of the Mississippi. No matter what your father has purchased along the way, we can almost guarantee it will be able to plug into one of the new Denon Networking Home Theater Receivers that are not only able to work with new 3D televisions, but are also AirPlay compatible — a pretty cool plus. Through AirPlay, you're able to stream music from any of your iOS devices, Pandora, Sirius XM or anything with iTunes installed (Microsoft products included) from anywhere in the room wirelessly. This receiver will cost you about $2,000, but with its seven HDMI inputs and seven 125-watt channels for big sound, your dad won't need to buy another receiver again for quite some time. Buy Here
Price: $2,000
Specs: 4k video support, AirPlay, power amplifiers for all 7 channels, 3D pass-through technology, 7 HDMI inputs, 3 HDMI outputs
Audyssey Audio Dock
If your dad is constantly sending you iMessages full of emojis and photos of your family dog, a gift that marries technology and his iPhone would be your best bet. We love the idea of having a speaker that can multitask while reducing cords and mess on our computer desk and we discovered that the award-winning Audyssey Audio Dock does all of that without sacrificing the quality of the sound. What's cool about this product is if your phone is docked and you receive a text or call, you can pick it up without stopping the music, or utilize its built-in speakerphone. You can also plug both of your computer speaker cables into the unit's back to get rid of clutter on your desk. As for sound quality, the dock is equipped with BassXT for big lows and EQ so all of your songs are clear and balanced. Buy it here.
Price: $300
Specs: Wireless music streaming via Bluetooth, computer connection, built-in speakerphone, iPhone app
Olympus Tough Digital Camera
Whether he's spending the day biking around the countryside or finally getting around to snorkeling, he will want to capture those few fleeting moments of perfect zen only a wise man like your dad can achieve. Olympus has recently come out with a digital camera that not only shoots great photos but is also waterproof, freezeproof, shockproof and crushproof. It's great for anyone who takes life by the horns and wants photographic proof to show what they've accomplished. The camera also shoots full HD videos in 1080p and has 5x 26 mm zoom capabilities. You can buy the camera, along with a bundle of other necessary accessories, for $340. Buy here.
Price: $340
Specs: Autofocus, waterproof, shockproof, freezeproof, crushproof, subject recognition, exceptional low light performance
