Since somebody's got to say it... pics?
Which models did you get?
Are these your first AR's? Be warned, the combination of the fact that they're a joy to shoot, go through ammunition quickly, and all the extras available for them is gonna put a hurting on your wallet. Soon you'll have an actual "AR budget"..
All this talk of AR's lately makes me want to build one. I was about to order an upper for my current AR when an idea hit me. Why not build one and finally get one that's "just right"?
See, there's another. You can't just stop at one.

Tibetan / Vajrayana
Vajrayana Buddhism is most closely associated with Tibet and can be characterized by the figure of the siddha, the master whose spiritual realization is so profound that he or she has power over the phenomenal world, and in whom the profundity and vastness of absolute truth is fully and completely manifested. Many of our most well-known authors come from this tradition of Tibetan Buddhism .
[Note: The tags for the various schools are not definitive as many books span multiple traditions, etc. They are meant to use as a starting point for exploring this collection.]
Tsong-kha-pa's Final Exposition of WisdomIn fourteenth- and fifteenth-century Tibet there was great ferment about what makes enlightenment possible, since systems of self-liberation must show what factors pre-exist in the mind that allow for transformation into a state of freedom from suffering. This controversy about the nature of mind, which persists to the present day, raises many questions. This book first presents the final exposition of special insight by Tsong-kha-pa, the founder of the Ge-luk-pa… Read More

The translation of Nagarjuna's hymn to Buddha nature—here called dharmadhatu—shows how buddha nature is temporarily obscured by adventitious stains in ordinary sentient beings… Read More

I cannot comment on the newer HK45 c other than it is a different design, some would say an improved design and the ergonomics are superior. I have had experience with the P30 and in most ways the HK45 is the 45 version of the P30. The P30 is outstanding. Options and configurations should be the same or similar between the models. By all accounts I have read it is an excellent firearm.
I do have experience with the USPc 45 and thought it was very good. Good enough I intend to get another one. I don't think you can go wrong with either if HK is your cup of tea. The USPc is a bit blockier especially in the slide but without a doubt a reliable work horse and at a lower price point. Both are going to be solid performers but the HK45 c is going to be more refined, have superior ergonomics (lot of effort went into the new modular grip design) and of course more expensive. Hope that helps.

The City of Kirkland plans to move forward with the Cross Kirkland Corridor's rail removal as early as April, but a Snohomish advocacy group and a Kirkland business owner want the city to put the brakes on the project.
"It is a precious corridor for both trails and rails," said Snohomish Mayor Karen Guzak, a member of 40 within the Eastside TRailway Alliance. "We have concerns that once the rails are taken out, they won't go back in."
Guzak believes that the Eastside TRailway Alliance and King County rail owners share the same long-term goals but there is some "pushback in the details."
The Eastside TRailway Alliance has been working with Doug Engle, who is a partner with the Eastside Rail Community. The new company that started last December currently runs freight from Snohomish to Woodinville in Everett. But Engle has aspirations of commuter service to help get "around the I-405 parking lot" and a weekend excursion train from Snohomish to Woodinville and, eventually, Kirkland.
Before Engle's excursion train becomes reality, however, Snohomish County would need to secure $6.2 million in state funds for railway upgrade between Snohomish and Woodinville. If granted, the project could be complete by May 2014.
It's this business opportunity that prompted Engle to consider Kirkland as a part of his future venture.
"We think that obviously Kirkland has a lot of cool things, it's a little Laguna Beach in the summer," said Engle, who is temporarily living in California but owns a home in Kirkland. "I'm sure we'd have a lot of tourists who would want to come to Kirkland as well."
Engle's Bounty of Washington: Tasting Train would connect those who want to experience Washington's wine, craft brew and spirits, and other local food from various farmers' markets in the summer.
Engle sent a letter to the City of Kirkland on Feb. 22 proposing the city build a trail next to the Cross Kirkland Corridor's railway, instead of directly on the rail bed. He estimates it will only cost $2.9 million - a cost that saves the city hundreds of thousands from its already-secured $3.6 million. Engle said he can provide a 15-foot wide trail, 15 feet from the railway and it would keep the railway intact.
"We are admittedly late into Kirkland's process and we appreciate that, but at the same time, if the rails are taken out, only 3 percent of the time have the rails gone back in," Engle said, noting the cost to put them back in could be up to $10 million. "Once they're out, they're out."
Transportation manager David Godfrey said the vision for Kirkland's corridor is to make the corridor available to the public as quickly as possible.
While having a trail next to the rail was an option, Godfrey said, it's a "very expensive" option because there "wouldn't be a place to put the trail" and eventually "somebody is going to have to upgrade the rails and, so far, nobody has come forward with a business plan." He adds there's been ample opportunity for a business to come forward, as well.
"My sense is after we remove the rail and people begin to use the trail and realize what a fantastic asset it is, the region will recognize having a trail is great," Godfrey said.
Mayor Joan McBride said while the city's interest statement for the long-term includes multi-use, including rail service, the city "has a really good interim plan" and if the city were to put a trail next to the railway, it could have serious environmental impacts.
"I think it's great that Doug Engle and his group are working with ideas, but the idea that we can build a trail alongside those railroad tracks without doing a full environmental review is a concern for me," said McBride. "We have precious wetlands (that run alongside the corridor)."
McBride recently met with Guzak to discuss the option of waiting, but ultimately, McBride is "not sure why there's a sense of urgency."
"We're not hurting any sort of rail company in the future by removing them," McBride said. "They're unusable."
McBride said the master plan process will be very open and "Doug Engle and his folks are welcome to provide input."
The master plan includes the analysis of a future regional paved trail and transit pathway of the city-owned 5.75 mile stretch of railway. The master plan is funded by the parks levy, which voters approved in November 2012, and the city is currently in the process of finding a consultant.
"When you come across an asset such as the Cross Kirkland Corridor, you want to be careful and thoughtful about the planning," McBride said. "What we plan today and tomorrow will be with us for a century."
Engle plans to have a meeting with the city during the week of March 11

A browser that comes standard with Windows. It was once one of the best, but has since become outdated and susceptible to Spyware and viruses. The worst thing about it is that it can't really be removed from Windows, especially since some sites only work with IE.
I started Internet Explorer and started cursing at the flood of pop-ups.
by El Singario September 21, 2005
Internet Explorer is an insidious web browser that comes installed on Microsoft operating systems. It crashes all the time and then annoys you with prompts asking if you want to send error reports. It also has a lot of security vulnerabilities, and using it is the easiest way to get a virus, trojan, or other malware.
As if that weren't bad enough, Internet Explorer is so integrated into the system that removing it can cause major problems.

That's why I grow most of my own food and stay away from processed items. If we want it we make it (haven't grown my own wheat yet but it's coming). Not that I think using the stuff is necessarily wrong--just don't like being the free guinea pig to fuel the case-control studies 20 yrs from now.
Fake salt, fake sugar, fake butter, fake meat. It all ends up being worse than the original precisely because we've been fine tuned to the originals (but not tuned to a life of TV, driving, social media, and diet pills). Sounds like I'm making my own case to have treatment-free bees even as I consider MAQS this year!

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, or nAChRs, are cholinergic receptors that form ligand-gated ion channels in the plasma membranes of certain neurons and on the postsynaptic side of the neuromuscular junction. As ionotropic receptors, nAChRs are directly linked to ion channels and do not use second messengers (as metabotropic receptors do). Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are the best-studied of the ionotropic receptors...

All season, Hoose paired Weill with composers he evolved from, offered alternatives to, or stimulated: Brahms, Schoenberg, Dallapiccola, Busoni, Orff. We got the world premiere of Lior Navok's Slavery Documents 3: And the Trains Kept Coming . . . (a Cantata Singers commission, dealing with the Holocaust), and, on the final program, the Boston premiere of Charles Fussell's High Bridge — A Choral Symphony After Poems by Hart Crane — four extended sections of "The Bridge" plus the visionary "Atlantis," which Fussell added after the first performance in 2003.
Fussell's score has an old-fashioned romantic fervor and welcoming tonality — a knowing counterpart to Crane's intensely rhetorical musicality. "The Harbor Dawn" begins with quiet chiming and then a wash of sound; two lovers are in bed (soprano Karyl Ryczek and tenor William Hite, though surely Crane's bedmate was a sailor he'd picked up). "Cutty Sark" is an edgier, extroverted folk comedy of tall tales (delivered with gusto by baritone David Kravitz) that turns into something more mysterious and ends with the chorus humming and the words disappearing into the horizon. An extended orchestral "portrait" of Crane is the heart of the piece, but my favorite section was probably the haunting "Indiana," given mezzo-soprano Janna Baty's amplitude and luscious vocalism and the glistening pointillism of vibraphone, harp, and celesta. High Bridge now has two endings: "Virginia" — chimes, gong, drum rolls — is a big-finish Scherzo but not the full resolution that "Atlantis," with its ecstatic repetitions and eerie final diminuendo, represents. I can't imagine a performance more committed or powerful.

Our compact garage workbench has an expanding top that folds out for extra work space and tucks away when not in use. It also has easy-to-assemble drawers and a shelf for convenient storage. And you can build this simple workbench in one day.
The last time I stopped in at my sister's house, my brother-in-law was on the garage floor putting together a tricycle for his grandson. They had recently moved into a new house, and apparently his last garage workbench hadn't made the trip. I decided to build him a new one.
Space was a major consideration. I wanted to build a workbench big enough to be useful, but there was only a few feet between the garage wall and the front of their parked cars. Money was also a concern—I didn't want to spend a lot of it. He is, after all, my brother-in-law. Finally, I wanted something easy and fun to build. I came up with an inexpensive design with a top that will work fine for smaller jobs. It has an additional top that folds up for those larger projects…like assembling a tricycle.
What it takes
Time: One day, not including the paint and varnish
Cost: $135, including the hardware but not the finish
Skill level: Beginner to intermediate
Tools: Circular saw, drill and jigsaw
Extra work surface when you need it; extra parking space when you don't.
Overall Dimensions: 60-1/2" wide x 34-3/4" high x 32" deep (or 16" deep, folded) You can download and enlarge Figure A in "Additional Information" below. You can also download a Cutting List in "Additional Information" which contains all part dimensions.
Lay the top upside down and attach the sides with six 1-5/8-in. screws. Then flip the whole thing over and attach the bottom. Try to position all the wood so the best sides are facing the outside and top.
Build the top and bottom
Gather the materials for the garage workbench using the complete Materials List that you'll find in 'Additional Information' below. Then cut the 3/4-in. plywood parts to size following the Cutting List and Cutting Diagrams that you'll find below and also in "Additional Information." Cut a 15-in. x 8-ft. strip out of the 1/4-in. plywood to use as drawer bottoms. The leftover is the perfect width for the back (E); it just needs to be ripped down to length. Don't cut the drawer fronts until after the workbench carcass is assembled.
Cut the 2x4s that make up the top and bottom frames (F and G). Assemble them with two 3-in. screws into each end. The studs I used were made from Douglas fir, which is strong but brittle, so to prevent splitting, I predrilled the screw holes with a 1/8-in. bit. Fasten the plywood top and bottom (A and C) to the frames with 1-5/8-in. screws. I countersunk the screws on the top so I could fill them with wood filler. I used wood glue in addition to screws throughout this project.
Attach the sides
Lay the top upside down and attach the sides (B) with six 1-5/8- in. screws. Flip the sides and top upside down and set it on the flattest surface available, then attach the bottom with 1-5/8-in. screws as well. Try to position the wood with the fewest flaws toward the front (Photo 1).
Temporarily support the shelf using the drawer divider and a couple of 2x4 scraps. To avoid splitting the plywood shelf, predrill holes through the sides and into the shelf before fastening with screws.
Cut a couple of scrap 2x4s to the same height as your drawer divider (D). Use the divider on one side and the 2x4 scraps on the other as guides to achieve the proper height for your shelf (C). Predrill 1/8-in. holes through the plywood into the shelf before installing the four 1-5/8-in. screws (see Photo 2). Use a framing square to mark the location of the drawer divider. Predrill holes through the plywood and into the divider before securing it in place with four 1-5/8-in. screws on both the top and bottom.
Install the bottom drawer guides first, and then cut a scrap of plywood to act as a spacer for the upper guides. Fasten the guides with glue and trim-head screws.
With the drawer box in place, position the front with shims. Fasten the pulls with 1-1/4-in. screws. Those screws will hold the front in place so you can pull the drawer out and add more screws from inside.
Attach the backUse a framing square to make sure everything is all squared up before you fasten the back (E). If you don't have a framing square, you can measure diagonally from top to bottom both ways. If the numbers aren't the same, tweak it one way or the other until they are. Don't glue the back on—you'll want to be able to remove it when it's time to paint and stain. Predrill the holes, then fasten the back with 1-1/4-in. trim screws.
Build your drawers
Make your drawer guides (K) out of 1x6s. Rip them down to 7/8 in. and align them all so the drawers will rest on the larger side. Rip down a sacrificial chunk of plywood to 5-7/8 in. to use as a spacer to achieve the proper height for the drawer guides (Photo 3). Screw the guides on with 1-1/4-in. trim screws. Don't forget the glue; screws alone won't be sufficient to hold a drawer full of heavy tools.
There is enough plywood left over on this project to build all the drawer frames, but 1x6s happen to be the perfect size. So for an extra $15, you don't have to rip down a bunch more plywood. Build the drawer boxes so there is at least a 1/8-in. gap on each side of the drawer. Use 1-5/8-in. screws to assemble the frames and 1-1/4-in. screws to attach the bottom. Then mount the drawer fronts (Photo 4).
Flip the bench upside down and push the folding top tightly up to it. Use 3/4-in. screws to connect the hinge to the bench top so they don't poke all the way through.
Flip the bench upside down, and butt the folding top (A) tight up against the permanent one. To ensure that the screws start straight, mark the hinge screw locations with a pencil, and use a nail set to create a starter hole. Use 3/4-in. screws to fasten the hinges to the folding top—the ones that come with the hinges will likely poke through.
Make sure the folding top is clamped securely to the support arm before you drill a hole for the hitch pin. When drilling a hole this big, it's easier to start with a pilot hole about half the size.
After cutting the support arms (H) to length, use a compass to mark a half-circle on one end of the arms, and then trim them with a jigsaw. Cut a 45-degree angle on the other side. With the bench still upside down and the support arm clamped down about 1 in. in from the back of the bench, predrill a 1/4-in. hole for the lag/pivot screw. Start the hole at the center of the circle you made at the end of the arm. Drill through the arm and into the bench.
Next, install the lag screws with a washer on both sides of each arm. Check to see that they swing back and forth freely. You may have to trim a little off if they rub on the bench top. When you drill holes for the hitch pins, make sure you avoid the 3-in. screws that hold the top frame together (Photo 6).
Fasten the brace board and screen mold
Glue, clamp and screw on the benchtop brace board (J). The brace board should be at least 1/4 in. shorter than the opening of the area above the shelf. If you countersink 3/8-in. holes in the bottom of the brace, 1-5/8-in. screws will work from the bottom up. Screen molding (Q) helps protect the exposed plywood edges of the bench tops. Install the molding with the folding top up. Leave a small gap between the two tops so the molding doesn't bind when the top is folded down. Use glue and brad nails, or use a trim gun if you have one.
To finish the workbench carcass, I used a primer formulated for raw wood, and enamel paint for durability. Be sure to paint the bottom to prevent moisture from wicking up into the raw wood. I used satin polyurethane for the tops and drawer fronts. I also used poly on areas the drawers come in contact with (painted parts tend to stick together). If the drawers start to bind, try a coating of shellac on the drawers and drawer guides.
Have the necessary tools for this DIY project lined up before you start—you'll save time and frustration.
Avoid last-minute shopping trips by having all your materials ready ahead of time. Here's a list.

Ok, well, here's the announcement of the century. Hell froze over this afternoon. I decided I am buying a Glock. If all goes well I'll go from crazy Sig girl to crazy Glock girl. So, I need some advice from the Glock-aholics.
The only thing I really don't like about Glocks is how they feel in my hand. They're just too bulky. However, for some reason, the 34 doesn't feel too bad. Neither does the older 17 without the finger grooves. And I kind of like the new 21SF, although I'm not sure I want a plastic 45.
So with this new info, what are some ideas for other Glocks I should check out? I'm not too hot on the 9MM, but I'll take what I can get if that's the only thing that feels right.
So... convert me.
Don't know anything about Glocks but I wouldn't worry about a plastic .45. I have shot the Springfield plastic .45 and my son in law puts it through its paces and I mean hard. Never had any trouble with the plastics. I would say Glock has it together too. Good luck on what ever you get.
How is it to control? I have trouble controlling the 40s in HK and Glock (haven't tried it in any other tactical tupperware). I know the recoil is different between the 40 and the 45, more snap to the 40. But is it easy to control? If so I may just ask about the 21SF.
Well I just read your issues with Sig and don't blame you.
Buy why glock?!?
I own a 23C. I was surprised to find that my buddies 36 was easier to handle. Going from a compensated compact .40 to a sub compact .45 I wouldn't have believe it if I hadn't experienced it myself. I guess what I'm trying to say is don't rule out any caliber until you shoot them first.
Good luck with your choice!
Congrats. nothing wrong with owning at least one Glock. For a range gun, I'd recommend the 34. For carry look at either a 17 or 19. For years I said I'd never own a Glock but once I got over my prejudice, now I like them. Don't be afraid of the Dark Side.
By virtue of my (civilian) job, I've handled, shot, owned and/or carried just about every major pistol introduced in the last half-century. I was a 1911 guy for years, but went Glock a couple of years ago. I found the Glock totally reliable, easy to operate, relatively inexpensive, and easy to shoot well. Mainly I am sold on the reliability aspect.
I shoot 9mm Glocks exclusively. I have no issues with 9mm for defense, as long as I can use good JHPs. The pistol is extremely easy to control, and VERY fast on repeat shots. I don't know what your split times look like with .40 and .45, but I'll bet you can shoot 9mm faster with the same level of accuracy. I can shoot reasonably quickly with a 1911 in .45, with splits in the .20 range on 5-7m targets (A-zone hits). With a Glock 17, I can run about .12-.15 splits at the same distance. I am also faster on multiple targets and control the gun better in one-handed fire, as well.
Grip reductions are fairly cheap for the Glocks, though I generally advocate leaving the gun as-is. Your hand will most likely adapt to the gun if you shoot enough. Mine did, even though I have small hands for a man.
Yes, Glocks are common-as-dirt, cookie-cutter guns with zero personality. But the things work, and work well. Some of my colleagues switch pistols every season, but I just stick with my dirty little Glock 9mms. They work whenever I press the trigger, and the hits go where I want 'em. I can't ask for more than that. I am fully satisfied with the Glock design.
1. Get Glock.
2. Get case of ammo.
3. Get good holster.
4. Go to range and shoot case of ammo.
5. Repeat step 4.
I bet you'll be happy with your purchase.
congrat on the glock. Go with what works.
And Mike I dont change every season, however I did just go back to the 1911...
"Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it." -Mark Twain
Have you tried the XD?
Welcome to the dark side young Jedi. I shoot a .40 (G23) and shoot good with it. I've never shot a Glock in .45 so can't compair the two. One thing I do like about my Glock is the simplicity of working on it and shooting it-ie, no manual saftey etc. The thing I don't like about my G23 is the size for concealed carry. That is why I got the Kel-Tec P-3AT. I carry the Glock in the winter when I wear more clothes. The Kel-Tec is so easy to conceal that I could probably wear it skinny dipping if I could squeeze my checks tight enough.
Just don't let another armored car drive over the polymer Glock. I don't think it will make it :P
You need to actually fire a Glock to appreciate its... "ergonomics". Due to the shape of the butts of these pistols(not size but shape in relation to frame), I've found the recoil is noticeably exaggerated compared to other similarly weighted pistols in the same caliber. I could also go on about the horrible trigger that seems to be prevalent in all plastic-framed, striker-fired pistols except for the Walther P99 A/S. At least those have been my observations. I hope I didn't anger anyone.
Don't take my word for it. You need to try them yourself. Glock makes pistols you either love or hate.

I've fired a few. Let me see, I know I've fired the 34 and the 31. I may have fired either the 17 or the 19 a few years ago. Not real sure, though. It was either the 17 or the 19 that turned me off to them in the first place. But my manager carries an older 17 without the finger groves and he let me hold it the other day. I really liked it. But I won't have the chance to fire one of those.

I was too young to enjoy watching Neil Armstrong walk on the Moon in 1969, but I did grow up waiting in anticipation for the first Shuttle launch. (I still have my Young/Crippen mission patch!) I sent the NASA PR department about one letter every week in 1980 and 1981, asking for any pictures or brochures they could send me back. Over the course of two years, I had a stack about two feet tall of full-color books, pamphlets, technical documents (for public dissemination), and all kinds of photos and collector cards. My vision was bad, and I was old enough to know that astronaut training was out of the picture, but thoughts of actually working for NASA were always in the back of my mind. Years passed, school ended, job and family arrived, and the next thing I knew the shuttle was being retired. But still, my fascination with NASA continues, and I believe it always will.
A number of years ago, I discovered a sci-fi writer named Jack McDevitt. I could not get enough of his stories and have finally caught up with his entire catalog of short stories and novels. Now, when a new McDevitt novel is announced, it actually goes into my calendar so I can pick it up on New Book Tuesday.
I'm also a fan of Mike Resnick. Recently, I've discovered and enjoyed his steampunk-ish take on Doc Holliday in his A Weird West Tale series. Before that, I was reading his Starship series. Continue Reading "Enjoy Your Apollo-Era Conspiracy With The Cassandra Project" »

text: I've had this problem, last 6 months. Battery will be dead if I don't drive the truck for 3-4 days, which is frequent since the truck has 315k miles on it and is a weekend warrior/back up vehicle. I put my multimeter inline on the negative side. My drain is 1A DC. I know the usually acceptable drain is around .2A. I pulled every fuse in both the in cab box and the underhood box and nothing made a difference. 1.08A for everything. Thought I was close a couple of times until I realized the key was in the ignition and radio still running (volume off). Don't you hate false positives? After that, everything was steady except for pulling the radio fuse (which dropped it from 1.08 to 1.07A). Now, the battery will seem to hold a charge just fine, but just slowly drains. Once it's charged, it will drive fine with no problems. And if I drive it every few days it is fine.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Yeah I tried repens before and it didn't really seem to take. We'll... And I also gave it away constantly because you couldn't find it locally. I'll have to see if I can find some again.
|S. repens is pretty easy and fairly slow growing (but nothing like the slowness of C. parva).
Water is cloudy. Just tore out about 1/3 of the plants and cleaned the sump. CO2 has been empty for months, everything grew out at the top of the tank and choked out the foreground. Looks a little better now with everything cut back. I also moved the bolbitis from the top to under the java fern.
I need something easy for the foreground. Maybe some parva but it grows painfully slowly.
Yeah, most of the stems are long gone. I've been neglecting the tank for a few months (or more). It's pretty low maintenance so even though I've only been doing water changes things are going relatively well. I've had a BBA problem forever now but I need to do more upkeep to solve it.
Mostly fern and crypts now. I need to do something for the foreground. It's pretty hurting right now, especially with the shade from the ferns. I'll post a pic soon, after the next water change. The tank looks completely different now.
The LEDs are looking okay. I never did get the reds to look great, but the greens look fine. I'm still loving the sunrise/ sunset feature.
I keep coming back to this jungle like style aquascape. It seems to be my thing. I have fun with the stem plants for a few months but I tire quickly of the pruning.
Here's the maintenance of this baby, and I won't exaggerate:
Every couple days:
- Feed some random food/ wafers
- Remove curious fish from the overflow. (I really need to add a guard)
Once per week:
- Remove plants that have floated up (mostly hairgrass) and dead leaves.
- 50% water change
Once per month:
- Refill autofeeder
Once every two months
- Refill liquid fert bottles
Once every three months:
- Refill/ swap co2 canister
- Vacuum out sump and rinse media
- Trim
- Sometimes I clean the glass if BBA is on it.
How goes er? You end up ditching the stems?
Did you ever get any results from the led swap? Looks great in your last few pics.
Thanks Aaron. That's funny because I'm leaning towards a new scape similar to yours.
Here's an updated shot of the tank. Sorry, just an iPhone pic.
Nothing much has changed and I've neglected the tank pretty badly for quite a while. It's in running mode, though my co2 has been spotty so I have some BBA. I keep letting the co2 tank run out and don't notice for a few days (negligence) or I forget to adjust the co2 rate (negligence) because I forgo trimming for weeks on end (negligence). Overall though, the aquarium does a good job of running itself. For a few months I've been doing maintenance once a week with the water changes. I pull out the floating leaf litter and clean the drain spouts, etc. Most of the plants are just tops because I wait so long between trimming that tops are all that's left to work with. Whoops.
I'm at the point where I'm over the stems for a bit as my life is changing somewhat and I want to move my focus elsewhere. I'm going to slowly change out most of the plants for more bolbitis and needle leaf java fern. I really do like the look of the tank even though it's not where I want it, but I'm not at a point where I feel like putting in the work to get it there. Instead I will move to a more jungle like look and clear out the oddball plants in the foreground. I might go with just the repens and hairgrass and add some more anubias above the rocks, but below the ferns. This setup should give me lots of time between trimming and there will be far less plant debris in the filters and such.
I would like to do a full rescape at some point to a central mound layout, an island of sorts with the ferns and a purely sand foreground. I'll likely remove the soil for that scape so there is no possibility of mixing. I like to have some Crypt. balansae in the background so I may add a pot of soil hidden in the mound. I would do this to my current layout but the soil will sneak from the mounds back into the foreground as only the rock wall is containing it now. And the wall is a bit leaky in spots. This is a ways off and I'm pretty much laying the foundation for my next scape.
|Hey Justin- I've gotta admit I'm jealous. Your tank still looks gorgeous even if it's been neglected!
So the tank was hurting after my vacation. Put off working on if for another week and finally went at it yesterday. I pulled most of the plants that weren't doing well as I have clippings in my other tank that I can use in the future. I hacked back and changed around the left side and pulled the P. helferi. I added some anubias on the rocks to soften them a bit. Overall I think it will look better. The right side is up next but I'm still considering what I want to do. The bolbitis and narrow leaf java is coming in nicely now.
Found some BBA on some branches and plants. I think it's due to the tank being so overgrown that the co2 levels were decreased quite a bit. I'll note the growth over the next few days (it should stop with co2 returned to normal) and spot dose some peroxide.
I've also had good results with the premixed ferts; no mold or anything after four weeks (The stock mix is about 7% excel) so I doubled up this time and made eight weeks worth.

Coast to coast is literally that... the overflow runs the entire length of the tank (hence why mine isn't one). Traditionally an overflow only skims from a small area, maybe 14" of surface skimming so coast to coast does a way better job.
About the SCS1200 on over 40 gallons, I just use it exclusively. It's readily available and it an adhesive, not a sealant and costs around $8 per tube. GE2 is a sealant. It's not designed to hold things together, is designed to make stuff stay out of whatever it's sealing, plain and simple.
Look at the data sheets and the tensile strengths. It's like comparing the adhesion strength of bubble gum to a screw.
Shoot for that price Yea why not use it on everything! I still have lots of planning and saving before my project is underway but can't wait!

Thats what I have heard for anything over about 40 gallons. I may be picking your brain later!
Oh, that was my other question, what's a coast to coast to overflow mean?

|GE SCS1200 series. IMO you use that or an equivalent. Nothing else.
Yea I can see that. tank still looks amazing, I am in the pre planning stages for a 90 gallon tank. the more I look at probably going to do some corner bracing. in some form at least
What silicone did the builder use?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
Why thank you. It's been a long build but it's getting there.
I would think structurally it would be fine to eurobrace inside the rim, but I would ask a builder to confirm.
I see what you are getting at, but looking at the end seems on my tank, vs the eurobrace, I'm not sure it would look better set inside the rim. I suppose it's in the eye of the beholder though. I have the polished bevelled edge and it looks pretty decent.
You also don't really need the short side braces. It's mainly the length that needs the bracing. I got my guy to add the short pieces just to make it all uniform, but there is no silicone between the side and front/ back sections.

text: Max is doing a 3T/half loop/3S sequence that this year is considered as a 3 jump combo Comparing Max PCS to Fernandez I have to say, that while it's true that Javi needs a lot of crossovers to gain speed too, his skating is very smooth and fluid. His posture is much better than Aaron's and he's a better spinner at this point (though not being a very good one, he gets the levels and has adecuate rotation speed). And as Varbar said he's much better packaged in his programs and has an understanding of the music much greater than Aaron's at this point

text: Okay, here's the latest. All parts have been changed under the hood. I installed a new condenser, we evacuated the system, and charged it up. Pardon me if I don't state this completely correctly, but my suction line is running at 60-70 PSI and its not cooling very well. By A/C guy tells me it should be running no more than 40 in this instance. Any ideas why its doing this? This same compressor worked fine before I changed the Condenser. My A/C guy bro in law is an expert on the systems from a test bed perspective, but is not sure why this system would be doing this.

How much water/moisture weight is 1% change in a gallon/12# of honey?
Not sure what the question is but 12 pounds of honey is 192 ounces. 1% of that is 1.92 ounces. Since honey is heavier than water your answer might be around 1 1/2 ounces but I'm not great at math so take that into account!
"My wife always wanted girls. Just not thousands and thousands of them......"
I think a better why to ask the question is... How much weight is lost for every 1% of moisture content you reduce (dry) from your honey. I thought about it and came up with the same as you. I suppose it's a simple problem I just couldn't get my head around it.
So I believe my first thoughts were messed up as far as figures so I deleted them.But I think it does stand true that the one percent is not a set amount that you can keep subtracting. It changes slightly each time as the total weight drops. If I'm correct!

Yes, I'm confused!
The percentage value change against the weight was why I worded my original question with a given weight.
I bet honey packers understand the value of each % point in their product.
Are large sellers of honey compensated on weight alone? Are they given a "bonus" for lower moisture honey or is it all the same as long as its dry enough?
Dairy farmers sell on weight and butterfat content.
In this video it shows them marking individual barrels with moisture content which suggest that maybe they are sold based on that information.
It's a good video showing fine examples of honey house staff.
Unfortunately the entire video is narrated in Canadian! ( I understood some of it because my wife is from the upper Midwest)

No, this is a common phenomenon resulting from human nature. People usually say nothing when they are satisified and scream as loud as they can when they are not. You will almost always find a disproportionate number of negative opinions when it comes to rating products or services.

Disclaimer: There are a particularly gratuitous number of pictures in this post. It may make the post seem obnoxiously large. You have been warned.
I didn't have many goals for today's ride. I wanted to spend at least eight hours outside, slowly as I am trying to ween my knee back into long rides. I wanted to spend most of the day riding trails and check out some new trails. But I have to admit, I wasn't that particularly excited about it the prospect of an all-day bike ride.
My mood kicked into manic mode at the first sight of blue sky after breakfast. There's no way to overemphasize this: There's really nothing like a (partly) sunny day in Juneau. We all spend so much time slogging through downpours that even I sometimes catching myself wondering why anyone would take a job here, buy a house here, commit themselves to living here for any amount of time. But then the sun comes out, and every lingering speck of S.A.D. disintegrates. We have great selective short-term amnesia, we Juneauites.
I knew, looking across the Douglas Island bridge first thing this morning, that the day was going to be beautiful.
Even the commute was nice.
Temps were in the low-20s ... preferable to the soggy mid-30s by any Juneauite's standards, and absolutely ideal in my mind.
The Mendenhall Glacier was looking very azure this morning.
The Mendenhall Lake was covered in a little more than an inch of fresh snow resting atop glare ice. A great day for speed. Not a great day to make figure 8s.
As I crossed the lake in the light mist, I heard this low, loud howl. "It couldn't be," I thought, but I made a U-turn toward the sound anyway.
Sure enough, I caught a glimpse of the black wolf called "Romeo" as he loped along the shoreline. The story behind Romeo, by local legend, is one of a lone and lonely wolf who was somehow separated from his pack (another story has his entire pack killed by wildlife officials.) So now he lives on the outskirts of suburban Juneau, looking for dogs to be friends with (another story has him looking for dogs to eat.) Either way, he is regularly sighted near the lake, but he still takes my breath away every time.
I soon made my way over to the north end of the valley. This is what I imagine the pre-Alaska Range Iditarod landscape looks like.
Pushing my bike up the Lake Creek trail was completely exhausting. Most of it was a steep sheet of glare ice covered in a very meager layer of snowmobile-chewed snow. One would imagine that, when training for a bike race, it would make the most sense to ride one's bike. But I've found that my most valuable training comes in taking my bike for long, steep walks. I'm never working harder than I am at 1.5 mph.
I sweat a bucket and a half while slogging up there. But when I reached the wide-open trails of Spaulding Meadow, I knew the ice climb was worth it.
Totally worth it.
Totally, totally worth it.
Back to the lake by sunset, making a few more loops on the ice before hopping over to the nicely foot-packed trails of Dredge Lake. I had hardly noticed the day had slipped away.
And just like that, it was nearly 4 p.m. Even though I absolutely had to be home by six, I had a hard time peeling myself away from the trail. I felt completely strong. My knees felt completely strong. I wasn't even hungry. It was like I hadn't ridden a single minute the entire day.
I can't believe I let myself count these rides as "training."

Thank you for sharing! Posts and pictures like these make me count down the days until I move to Alaska! Lately I have been freaking out a little about moving 4,000 miles away. New state, new job, new climate, new apartment, new everything. But you remind me why I decided to go up there in the first place. Thanks!ReplyDelete
Is it hard to get back up to speed the next day if its one of the soggy, foggy, gray ones?ReplyDelete
Your pictures *totally* blow me away.....ReplyDelete
Thanks for the 5 minute vacation:-)
Incredible photos. Good luck with your training.ReplyDelete
I bow my head at the majesty. wow...ReplyDelete
It's amazing what a little bit of sunshine can do for your mood and your energy isn't it?ReplyDelete
I was out snowboarding on a sunny day last weekend and didn't feel tired, or hungry, or thirsty, until the sky grew dark.
Your mood lifts with the sun, and it just feels so amazing to be out you don't want to miss a thing.
I've been following your blog after hearing about you on the Bryant Park Project radio show, and I love the photoes you put up. You inspire me to want to come to Alaska even more than I had initially thought I'd like to go.
Keep on trucking.
Jill...Once again thank you, and please don't ever feel the need to apologize. Your photos, as always, are beautiful. I have a hard time imagining what it would be like to actually be there. In the mean time I continue to live vicariously through you and your wonderful writing and photos.ReplyDelete
Great selection of photos Jill,your chasen lifestyle is to be envied.I'm not sure how I'd cope with the extremes of weather you face,it's much milder here,where I live in Wales.ReplyDelete
My husband has been lurking on your site for months now, ever since I showed it to him after I stumbled upon it. We've been to Juneau and recognize some of the places you go - but they sure look different in winter. Just stunningly gorgeous! Your photos (as you've heard repeatedly) are fantastic, and you remain a source of inspiration to us.ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for sharing your amazing, unique life and lifestyle with us - we who can only sit down here in Oregon and drool over it all. ; )
Not only are the pictures amazing, but your writing is what keeps me coming back to your blog... it is the only blog that has held my attention.ReplyDelete
You're going to rock this race. I do hope you will post some video footage on you tube for us to cheer you on from around the world... Can't wait to see you kick some snowy, icy, freezing cold conditions' ass in the race. :-)

Wow - I grew up and Juneau and haven't been back since 93, but it is always on my mind. I had no idea one could access John Muir in the winter. I intentionally have been planning a summer trip to hike McGuiness and spend the night in Spaulding Meadows. Your blog is fantastic, and opened up the winter possibilities for me. A wolf at the glacier? WOW!ReplyDelete

Let's put your question in Suspension, Brakes, Steering.
As far as the plastic goes, you need to look at the back of the plastic parts to find out what kind of plastic the parts are made from. A lot of parts have that stamped on the back. Most of the molded plastic parts are made from ABS. Check this thread on some ideas for gluing ABS: CLICK HERE
Steering Wheel / Interior
I'm working on my interior in my '88 Mustang GT, and I have a couple of questions that I needed a little advice on. I'm replacing the dash because the old dash was cracked up.
1. I decided to pull the steering wheel out because I think that will make it much easier to get the dash back in place. I had no problem pulling the factory steering wheel off, but my question is since I had to use a puller to get the steering wheel off, how does it go back on? Also, the manual says you should'nt reuse the center bolt. Is that a must, can the bolt be reused. I was told by someone that the stock steering wheel could'nt be re-installed but I've never heard that before.
2. What's a good strong glue to use for cracked plastic interior pieces. I tried super glue, but it discolors the plastic,and I dont think gorilla holds that well. Any suggestions?

I checked the fuses and sure enough both fuses blew. idk if it relates, but i wired the new lights to a fuse for the orange running lights. im thinking im asking for too much power out of the lights circuit and it causing me to blow fuses. but i disconnected the new ligths in hopes to just run my hids but now im blowing fuses just on the hids. but when i put a new fuse in and put the factory bulb in the fuse held up. im stumped on what it could be. does anyone have any suggestions or what i can do to help this? i need to get this fixed asap because i would like my HID lights back running. thanks in advance.

Alliance for Excellent Education Presents Business and Higher Education Perspectives on College and Career Readiness
To address the shift in how public schools prepare students for the challenges of postsecondary education and the twenty-first-century workplace, policymakers must clearly understand what a college- and career-ready education means for students, teachers, schools, and external stakeholders. This conversation raises some important policy questions:
- What knowledge, skills and dispositions matter most to business leaders and higher education officials?
- What policy infrastructures—federal, state, and local—are necessary to ensure the delivery of such knowledge, skills, and dispositions?
- How can business and higher education stakeholders play a more active role in the delivery of a college- and career-ready education?
To address these questions, the Alliance is hosting a three-part webinar series, College and Career Readiness: What Does It Really Mean?
Earlier this month, the Alliance hosted the webinar Business and Higher Education Perspectives . Panelists offered first-hand perspectives on what higher education institutions and businesses expect from the nation's high school graduates and discussed the role these institutions and businesses can play in preparing high schools students for the rigors of postsecondary education and the workplace.
New Apps Support Students' Career and Postsecondary Planning
More students than ever are accessing the Web via smartphones. According to the Nielsen Company, one-third of youths aged 15-24 in America owns a smartphone making it possible for more students to access the Web wherever they are. This provides an exciting opportunity to reach and educate young people! For example, here are four new mobile apps that will support students in their career and postsecondary planning via smartphone:
- College Plan gives students and parents ways to decide which college is the best fit;
- Career Rookie offers students and recent graduates the ability to search out internships, part-time jobs, and entry-level positions with the nation's top employers;
- CollegeSearch allows users to optimize their searches by selecting public or private schools and by using cost, enrollment, SAT and ACT average scores, and campus location as sorting factors; and
- ASVAB Mobile, the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) Program, a career exploration program, designed to make it easier for students to explore careers anytime, anywhere.

Original post made by hoops, Mohr Park, on Oct 23, 2012
Obama came across as a far superior candidate in this debate,although he continues to throw in too many political gotchas.It must be difficult to debate someone like Romney who changes his positions and denies things he has clearly said like about the auto bailout.
I wonder what type of candidate Romney would be if he was simply himself,but the fact that he has changed his positions and denied what he has clearly stated so often maybe tells you who he really is.He just comes across to me as a rich guy who wants to be president and will say or do anything to get there.
Obama,like him or not,at least has a consistent point of view and a core.

I agree, he's weak on foreign policy. He sounded like the Cold War is still around. Russia our "number one geopolitical foe". Russia has its challenges but the biggest concern is China.
All politicians stretch the truth, including Obama. But Romney is unbelievable. He will say anything to get elected, including contradictory statements. One thing I did realize last year is that the Republican-control congress worked OT to put stops on nearly everything the President offered.
As an independent, I have decided to vote for Obama.

What's with Romney sweating? Is he that unsure of himself? What will happen when he meets with Putin? Seriously. He's not confident.
I agree with independent voter, he says what ever it takes to get elected.

The president said it right. His first job is to protect the American people. He has done a good job doing this. Romney's first debate bullying tactic was met with reason and intellect in the second and third debates, and by the third debate the bully was wilting before our eyes (that's what the sweat was about). I don't want Romney anywhere near a position that involves protecting my family. Successful businessman/investor? Probably. Presidential material? I don't think so. This independent will again cast his vote for Barack Obama.

We have fewer horses and bayonets than we did in 1916, and fewer Navy ships too, and that is a good thing, as our President says! Romney would buy 2 trillion bayonets, and use the leftover to buy horses, because his wife really likes horses. He is all over the map with his Romnesia, and he is a felon too, I heard! Tax returns! Bain Capital!

Thank God Obama is such a scholar on foreign policy. He has masterfully allowed the radical muslim brotherhood to take over the middle east, allowed Iran another 4 years to work on their "peaceful" nuclear program, strained our relationship with Isreal, promised Putin "more flexibility" when it comes to weakening missile defense and our nuclear arsenal once he is re-elected and he only managed to get 1 ambassador and 3 other Americans killed in Libya. With the ringing endrosements of world leaders such as Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, Ahmadinejad and Putin, how can we go wrong with another 4 years? Vote Obama!!!!

I will vote for the one who has actually 'created real jobs'.
The one who has had to actually 'work' for a living in his lifetime.
The one who hasn't taken handouts his whole life.
The one who's a real American 'citizen' and shows his school
records and 'Real' birth certificate. The one who knows how
to live within his own means without government programs.
The one who believes in American Freedom not Marxism.
That candidate is Mitt Romney.

The Presidents first job is to protect the Constitution. Remember the oath!? Safety is the responsibility of another branch.
The last four years really has moved us backwards. The evidence is so many failed and unfulfilled promises/policies. But, don't let the facts/truth confuse you. Vote him in again and see how really bad it can get. Most of us conservatives will survive the next four years. Will you? Liberals, my nature, don't think much further than tomorrow. Supporting social justice programs and environmental policies sounds good until we have to pay for them later. They should not be the #1 priority. Prioritize and come to consensus about how to resolve the issues in order of the most important. The bi-partisan additiude is causing us gridlock. This POTUS has done more to devide us as a nation than any other entity today. Even an act of war at one of our embassies can't bring us together. Think about it!
Okay, Mr. Mittens, we haven't heard from you. What are your pearls of wisdom!?

Romney is not fit to be the President, and Ryan would be a disaster as Vice President.

It may be close so please everyone go out and vote for Obama!

Health insurance premiums have increased, gas has gone through the roof, the number of Americans living in poverty is exponentially increasing and the national debt has increased by a whopping five trillion dollars. This Obama administration is bringing our great country to its knees.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood

Yes, and with these over the top criticisms of Obama, it's a wonder that all Romney was able to do in the Foreign Policy debate is repeat endlessly that he agreed with Obama, that Obama has done a very good job, and that Romney, in the fictional world where he becomes president, will do things virtually identically to Obama. Quite a candidate you guys have who somehow isn't able to arrive at the same over the top criticisms that you do. Can anybody take a hint?
