With the season just about over for big blue, and slim chances of making the playoffs, I believe we need to give more playing time to the young TE's on the roster. Meyers has been a huge disappointment in my eyes (even with last weeks game). Meyers just doesn't fit this offense, he can't block worth a damn, and if he does end up catching a ball he ends up falling down immediately. Is it possible he is even less athletic than Ballard and Boss?
I know Adrien Robinson has been injured most of the year, but i think he is healthy now. Let's see what this kid has, he can't be any worse than Meyers. He most likely would be a huge upgrade in the run game. Time to show why NYG drafted you or stop taking up a damn roster space and cut him. I don't care if he's the " JPP of tight ends" we need some production out of the position, it has really been killing our offense all season. The O-line has sucked, but the TE's have been a big part of the problem, think about how often Eli went to Boss or Ballard, the TE was his safety blanket.
Larry Donnell looks like he could be promising if he could just stay healthy. Good blocker that needs to work on his hands a little bit.

Figure of William the Conqueror, detail from a watercolour of the Line of Kings. Early 19th century (I.69 )
Figure of William the Conqueror, detail from a watercolour of the Line of Kings. Early 19th century (I.69 )
Horse Armoury, Tower of London by Rowlandson and Pugin, 1809
The Horse Armoury, by an unknown artist, early 19th century
Engraving entitled 'The Royal Armoury in the Tower of London' showing visitors to the Grand Storehouse. British, dated 1822
Samuel Richardson (1689-1761) was a writer, publisher and printer best remembered as the author of the novels Pamela (1740) and Clarissa (1748). However, his first novel was inspired by his involvement in 1739 in the production of a help-book which contained examples of well-composed and morally sound letters. While inventing letters to fit a variety of circumstances for inclusion in a book proposed by the booksellers John Osborn and Charles Rivington, Richardson created the character Pamela Andrews.
He wrote what has been termed the first novel, Pamela, in the form of the young woman's letters to her parents. Having quickly finished and published his novel, Richardson returned to the letter book which he completed and published in 1741 under the title Letters written to and for particular Friends, on the most important Occasions. Directing not only the requisite Style and Forms to be observed in writing Familiar Letters; but how to think and act justly and prudently, in the common Concerns of Human Life.
In one of these letters a young woman who has recently arrived in London describes how some of her relatives have taken her to see the attractions at the Tower of London. Like many other sources, Richardson implies that the Tower is one of the first sites that a visitor to London ought to see. The letter also makes an interesting contrast to some other accounts in that this writer is more impressed by the elaborate displays of weapons in the Grand Storehouse than by the Line of Kings in the Horse Armoury. Like many real-life visitors, Richardson's fictitious young lady is impressed by the sights at the Tower and rates it better than anything else she has yet seen in the City.
Letter CXLIX From a young Lady in Town to her aunt in the Country:
'To begin then, my Aunt and Cousins carried me, in the first Place, to see the Tower of London, which we have heard so much Talk of in the Country; and which no one that visits this great Town, omits seeing… The Horse-Armoury is a fine sight; for here they shew fifteen of our English Monarchs on Horseback, all in rich Armour, attended with Guard: But I think this Sight not comparable to the small Armoury; for here Pikes, Muskets, Swords, Halberds, and Pistols, (now, as they told us, for threescore thousand Men), are all placed in such beautiful Order, and such various Figures, representing the Sun, Star and Garter, Half-moons, and such-like, that I was greatly delighted with the Sight, all the Arms being bring and shining.
We saw the Train of Artillery, in what they call the grand Storehouse; filled with Cannon and Mortars, all very fine, a Diving-bell, and other Curiosities; and I thought, upon the Whole, that this great Magazine of Curiosities and Stores was the most worthy of the Notice of a Stranger to London, of anything I had been shewn'.

Detailed Forecast
The cold front is now exiting Idaho tonight and entering Wyoming, dropping temperatures as we close out the week on the backside of this storm front. Staying windy with gusts around 25-30 mph.
Scattered snow showers tonight and early Thursday, with most of the showers hanging out in the Southeast Highlands, northern Utah and Western Wyoming.
Overnight lows are dropping to the lower 20's and upper teens for the Plain.
Daytime highs for Thursday will hit the upper 30's for the Snake River Plain.
More sunshine and cool weather for Friday and Saturday. There's still a risk for showers in Nevada and Utah. A few of those showers could spill over Idaho's Southern border towns.

text: Joseph Stella (June 13, 1877 - November 5, 1946) was an Italian-born, American Futurist painter best known for his depictions of industrial America, especially his images of the Brooklyn Bridge. He is associated with the American Precisionism movement of the 1910s-1940s. Stella was born in Muro Lucano, Italy but came to New York City in 1896 to study medicine. However, he quickly abandoned his medical studies and turned instead to art, studying at the Art Students League of New York under William Merritt Chase. His first paintings were Rembrandtesque depictions of city slum life. A remarkable draftsman, he made drawings throughout the various phases of his career, beginning as an academic realist. From 1905 to 1909 he worked as an illustrator, publishing his realist drawings in magazines. In 1908, he was commissioned for a series on industrial Pittsburgh later published in The Pittsburgh Survey. Stella returned to visit Italy in 1909; it was this return to Europe, and his first contact with modernism, that would truly mold his distinctive personal style, notable for its sweeping and dynamic lines. He became associated with the Italian Futurists and began to incorporate Futurist principles into his art. Returning to New York in 1913, he painted Battle of Lights, Mardi Gras, Coney Island, which is one of the earliest American Futurist works (currently in the Sheldon Museum of Art). The New York Armory Show of 1913, in which he participated, provided him with greater impetus to experiment with modernist styles. In New York during the 1920s, Stella became fascinated with the geometric quality of the architecture of Lower Manhattan. In these works he assimilated the elements of Cubism and Futurism. In his best-known work, he shows his fascination with the sweeping lines of the Brooklyn Bridge, a motif he used continuously throughout his career. Stella's depictions of the bridge feature the diagonal cables that sweep downward forcefully, providing directional energy. While these dynamic renderings suggest the excitement and motion of modern life, in Stella's hands the image of the bridge also becomes a powerful icon of stability and solidarity. Among his other well-known paintings is New York Interpreted (1922), a five-paneled work patterned after a religious altarpiece, but depicting bridges and skyscrapers instead of saints. This piece reflects the belief, common at the time, that industry was displacing religion as the center of modern life. It is currently owned by the Newark Museum. In the 1930s, Stella worked on the Federal Art Project and later traveled to Europe, North Africa, and the West Indies, locations that inspired him to work in various modes. He moved from one style to the next, from realism to abstraction to surrealism. He executed abstract city themes, religious images, botanical and nature studies, erotic and steamy Caribbean landscapes, and colorful still-lifes of vegetables, fruits, and flowers. His strong draftsmanship is evident throughout the many kinds of images that he continued to make over the years. A famous Stella quote is: "I have seen the future and it is good. We will wipe away the religions of old and start anew." Full Wikipedia Article

Conservation Officer Report
DNR conservation officer Nikki Shoutz (Pine River) reports that hunting harassment rose to an all-time high when a hunter reported that upon going to his deer stand in the early morning, it was found that a suspect hunter had defecated under and then smeared feces up six rungs on his ladder deer stand.
A horse was shot by a deer hunter at a Pine River area ranch, Shoutz also reported. A firearm was seized and projectile recovered from the dead horse with charges pending results of match.
And, a wolf hunter who brought a wolf to a local taxidermist was not the same wolf hunter who tagged the timber wolf. Investigation continues for illegal party hunting.
Enforcement action last week included failure to register deer before processing, no deer license in possession while hunting, loaded/uncased firearm in motor vehicle and trespass.

text: 1st year with the bees and gave the girls a bath this weekend. Both hives were new from packages this year (May 1st) and both have two deeps. I didnt separate the boxes and used 2 cups of powdered sugar on each by sifting through a large screen and then brushing what ended up on top of the frames down. I put an oiled board under my screened bottom boards and counted after a half hour. Hive 1 had 35 and hive 2 had 70. I cleaned and replaced the board and after 24 hours found 20 on hive 1 and 38 on hive 2. Most of them were dark and found a few tan ones. Are these numbers in the acceptable limits and should I (when?) do it again before winter?

thats not true buffyblue. technically, what happened, is right after sb 46, some writers were commenting that the win would solidify a HoF spot when his career ended. they werent saying "eli manning, HOF right now lets vote him in." So, IF warner was actually coming from that perspective, itd be unwarranted, as no one had claimed eli manning was ending his career, and 5 yrs theyd be voting on him, so for warner to then remark about eli not being HoF wasnt based on the premise that he still had to play out his career, it was that the 2 sb mvps and all, werent worthy of a HoF...thats why he backtracked like immediately the next day into a more PC, "he still has his career to finish out" but he had already made it clear he had objected to the notion he was HoF worthy...but to be fair, imho, it coulda been anyone not named kurt warner and he woulda had an issue about their being discussed as HoF and not him, which is what i believe ultimately triggered him to respond in the first place...
and fwiw, imho, eli makes the HoF whether he hangs em up tomorrow r plays 10 more yrs and breaks every record...2 sb mvps carry way more weight with the voters than some realize
They're like the Eli defense army.
Entire Team Let Eli down today - NYG4l
Kurt Warner is whack. He'll go into the HOF but he wasn't even that much better than a rookie Eli while he was in his own prime. As a matter of fact, a rookie Eli was better than a prime Warner in many aspects as a QB. Protection, audibles, pocket awareness etc. Kurt played like a deer in headlights in his final starts as a Giants and my eyes bled just by watching.
People love eli a little too much
Kurt injured his thumb during his last year (or earlier) w the Rams and it wasnt until Arizona that he discovered that wearing a glove would compensate for the grip he lost on the ball. He had some serious issues with simply holding on the ball when in NY.
Who knows - had Warner discovered that while in NY (and played well), Eli may have never seen the field in 04.
But my real point here was a response to a poster who suggested that 2004 Eli was somehow better than Warner. Now Eli has certainly developed into a fine player, but 2004 Eli was absolutely horrible. There was already talk about Eli being a bust after the Baltimore game (which may have been the worst performance by a Giants QB ever).
Its just another example of how some of these folks take this Eli thing way too far.
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..

The time has come; Nothing can stay the same forever. The same old interior dampening material's throne has been challenged. GSport's GMUFF Titan-Lite is extremely lightweight, effective, and ultra-thin, quite unlike its predecessor. It provides twice the dampening capability, and is 40 percent lighter than any of their competitor's asphaltic product. Its aggressive adhesive withstands temperatures in excess of 250 degrees, and it stretches up to 40 percent for 100-percent bonding to irregular surfaces. It can be used on doors, floorpans, roof panels, deck lids, and sheetmetal panels that are prone to flexing. It's ideal for muscle cars, street rods, trucks, boats, and aircraft. It also provides great protection for drag car wheeltubs, without adding excessive weight. Featuring a simple peel and stick design, Titan-Lite resists water, fuel, and most solvents, and has no harsh odors.
To install, once you have the interior out and you clean all the surfaces the GMUFF is going on, get acquainted with your GMUFF as much as possible before you start. Make sure you have a heat gun, scissors, a marker, and a utility knife. Once you have the adhesive backing off, the GMUFF is ready to go--and I mean ready; it'll stick to any and everything. Fire up the heat gun and it'll form to all the nooks and crannies. If you need to, it helps to put small pieces together in some tight areas because it is so sticky and it might be hard to get it to lay right. Try to get at least 50 percent of the interior sheetmetal covered. If you can, try 50-100 percent to maximize the Titan-Lite's effects.
In the areas that you can't get the GMUFF Titan-Lite in, there is GMUFF G-Spray. It is a unique vibration-dampening compound specifically engineered in spray form for hard to reach locations and extremely irregular shapes. G-Spray provides twice the dampening characteristics of other asphalt material. G-Spray also contains a corrosion inhibitor, and improves car audio performance by reducing ambient noise levels.
Grab some GMUFF products and check them out for yourselves. After a day in the garage you'll have much more peace and quiet in your ride so you can enjoy the sounds that you want to hear like a conversation with out shouting.

More than 10,000 fans have traveled with Red Sox Destinations since the start of the 2006 season, and fans have raved about their experience.
"Our Destinations trip to Fenway was an experience we'll never forget - absolutely fantastic! The planning, correspondence, and hospitality related to the trip were all excellent as was our experience with the staff! The 'behind the scenes tour' of Fenway provided some great memories as well as countless photo opportunities (especially around the Green Monster) and being in the company of other true Sox fans made it even more fun. Having lunch with Daniel Bard was a special experience with many unexpected quality 'surprise treats' provided by the staff. The trip was so much fun, we're already looking forward to trying another one - 'on the road' next time to add a new twist. Thanks for a wonderful weekend!"
- Steve and Barbara (Boston '10)
"This was our first Red Sox destination trip and it was excellent. My wife and I recently retired and both love the Red Sox and seeing Seattle was a bonus. I was surprised how easy it was to book the trip and flying on Jet Blue also was a nice experience for a cross country trip. We are looking forward to doing this again next year and will probably look into booking for a Baltimore trip to Camden Yards."
- Charles (Seattle '09)
"I really appreciate the opportunity to meet a Red Sox player and to garner an inside look at the Red Sox. This is our third trip with Red Sox Destinations and we find the staff to be helpful and responsive. The hotel was great and close to the ballpark and the seats in Arlington were terrific. We will be back."
- Mark (Arlington '08)
"We can't thank you enough for the wonderful experience we had in Boston. This weekend was a Christmas gift for my husband. He has been a Red Sox fan forever, and he was blown away by the whole experience. We cannot say enough good things about it! My kids (ages 10 and 11) were ecstatic the whole weekend. Manny Delcarmen was a fantastic speaker, the VIP tour was unbelievable, and the way your staff went above and beyond was just amazing! Going behind the scoreboard was a dream come true for my husband. Thank you so much for giving us such a great weekend!!!! We look forward to coming back in the near future!"
- Cindy (Boston '08)
"We booked our trip in the hopes of giving our children a once-in-a-lifetime experience and Red Sox Destinations exceeded those hopes!! My children will forever remember watching batting practice at Yankee Stadium... in its final season, no less! I have promised my son that if the Sox win the World Series, we will go to Opening Day! Regardless if they win or lose, we will most definitely take another Red Sox Destinations trip!! All of the staff members were so friendly and kind. My Dad was in a wheelchair and they made every effort to accommodate him. After taking two trips with Red Sox Destinations, we feel like we have new friends!"
- Kelly (New York '08)
"We were so excited to be part of the Red Sox Destinations group for the Red Sox/Yankee games of 6/1 to 6/3. Really, just to be able to get tickets for a Red Sox vs. Yankees game, was beyond belief. Our expectations for the trip were high, and you did not disappoint, in fact you exceeded our expectations. Every detail was handled perfectly, and the chance to go behind the scoreboard and to try on a World Series ring were unexpected surprises. We will definitely be going again next year, probably to another stadium."
- Ken and Susan (Boston '07)

Earlier this week, pranksters hacked into multiple TV stations' Emergency Alert Systems (EAS) and sent out a warning of a "zombie attack." Originating with KRTV-TV/Great Falls, MT, the message later appeared on three stations in Marquette, MI and later, when CHR WIZM/Lacrosse, WI played audio of the instance, the EAS tones caused the same warning to be sent out again.
Following all of this, the FCC is now urging radio and TV stations to update and change their EAS passwords to prevent any further instances. The FCC stated that stations should "take immediate action to secure their CAP EAS equipment, including resetting passwords, and ensuring CAP EAS equipment is secured behind properly configured firewalls and other defensive measures. All CAP EAS equipment manufacturer models are included in this advisory."

I don't know what to do. I have a top bar hive into which I introduced a cut-out 5 days ago. They have a few bars of brood however not much honey. I went with a group to capture 2 hives and ended up with some nice chunks of comb filled with honey. I attached these to my bars and put them in my hive. Almost immediately, maybe 100 bees were zooming around the hive, hanging out on the landing board and hovering in front of the hive. It appeared the guard bees were going crazy trying to keep out intruders. I immediately put in an entrance reducer - even though it's hot and the bees have been bearding on the front of the hive. (I think to cool off). General hive activity appeared agitated throughout the day.
I think my hive is being robbed; how can I be sure? I'll check tomorrow.
What can I do? If I don't feed the bees they will probably starve; if I do feed them they will be robbed.
I just started keeping bees and it feels like a full time job.
thanks for any feedback you can offer.

Az ingatlan értékelései
We were 7 persons staying 5 days in Rome. The apartment was perfect for us, spacious and well equipped. It was very quite with no trafikk noise and the location was perfect, walking distance from many atractions and Bernini metro stadion very close.

the apartment was nice . what was minus was that the drain in the bathroom sink was clogged, drain the same bathroom in the shower was almost clogged. in one bedroom was doorframe broken and loose when we came . Apart from this , we will be happy again .
Very nice apartment, small but stylish, very well organized and extremely friendly check in person, everything fine!! Very recommendable.
Even Colosseum within walking distance, nice restaurant district round the corner.
Thank you Daniela and staff!
Our group of seven family members stayed in this property about two weeks ago. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The apartment was very large and easily accommodated our group. It was very clean, and the wine and cake provided on our arrival were most appreciated. The apartment was only a few blocks from the Termini station and so was an easy walk for us. It was also not very far from Rome's major historic attractions. It is ideal for a large group. I would stay here again in a heartbeat if we were travelling in a large group to Rome.
What a great stay!! Fine apartment with beautiful roof terrace with plenty of space, however, we feel that the apartment was just small enough to 9 people. We were 6 girlfriends and it was adequate. There was one large sheet for each double bed and if you are not lovers, this is not good; we had wished that there had been one sheet per person. Booking company, hostess and apartment can be recommended, very good contact all the way from order to arrival / departure. Fine agreement with the pick-up taxi to and from the airport. We could stay there again; just 2 minutes from the Spanish Steps. Thank you for the stay and the experience ..
(not recommended for people with walking difficulties, there are many stairs up to the penthouse - however, elevator to the 3rd floor) ...
We had four lovely days in Rom. The Palazzo Massimo near Piazza Navona is very beautiful and central so we could walk to all attractions of the city. We can suggest this nice little place for a small holiday in Rom.
We had a very nice stay in the apartment. Everything where fine and excellent service at arrival with food and drinks in the fridge.
We can all recommend this place.
Best regards from Denmark
Great place. The apartment was really good and spatious. For foodlovers the location is perfect since it's just a short walk to Testaccio. It's also close to the new Eataly house.
Excellent service.
The only minus (and that is a small one) is that we kitchen could do with a chef knife.

This is hilarious. Nice work

This shirt is absolutely incredible. Although I can't vote for it, I'm making an ironclad pledge right now -- if it prints, it'll by my first purchase on Shirt Woot. Good luck, guys.
Your first purchase doesn't have to be a shirt - it can be anything at any woot site; snag some wine, some blending markers at kids.woot, whatever.

Nice work as always.
Re: Tea Types
Yeah, it doesn't look to be an exception. Jatravartid coffee loving country.
Not only is tea awesome and for that alone I want it to win - I need more Tea shirts. But, the execution is great. Each "character" is perfect, the colors are wonderfully chosen, and the shirt color matches nicely. Boo I say!
My hope now is that it will get chosen for an HM and then be in a Double-Take Derby, and then be chosen for an EC. I can wish, right?
Re: Forget Lemonade
I'm really bummed that this got rejected...I, too, hope it can find a home and print elsewhere...
Perhaps I don't understand copyright law (which I assume is the problem here), but I don't get why this would not be able to print, but other shirts (even the other portal related shirts from woot) are ok. It's really a shame though.
Re: Clumsy Cousin
Resubbed this with better thumbnail, maybe. Its tough to get a good thumbnail of this one. I made it late at night and laughed maniacally at its cheesy pine cone-pineapple pun.
Hope you get a lol out of it, or at least an ironic "ha ha oh that's sooo funny..."
I didn't think there would be a single shirt this derby I would want to wear, given the theme, but this is brilliant [as always]. I wish I could curl up inside that twisted wrinkly brain of yours and take the most comfy nap of my life. GMV, naturally.
I like how the pineapple is so heavy that he breaks the panel when he lands...that's a cool touch =)

WOAH did I get an HM on it??? Really?!!! I have to keep up one these things more. I'm gonna go check on that now.
I will make my mom buy a shirt, hopefully a perfect shirt for her will come along... maybe "Censor This". That would be awesome to see my mom wear that...
*edit* yay! You speak truth! I haz an HM! Now I am happy.

As always, love your work Robbie. Even in simple seeming designs you infuse little flares here and there that set it apart from the rest.

San Francisco, CA – The Department of Public Works (DPW) announced today the launch of a one-stop shop on its website that will make it easier for contractors to search for contracts, bid on projects, find project information, access documentation and track their payments for DPW's construction projects and professional services.
"This new website portal is an effective and simple method that works to support the City's mission to hire San Franciscans and employ local contractors for City–funded projects," said Naomi Kelly, City Administrator. "Increasing transparency for payment tracking and expanding access to contract documentation and information helps San Francisco residents and businesses connect with work on our public projects."
The new website portal features a user-friendly design with simple and intuitive navigation and saves time for local contractors by improving access to information and transparency along all stages of the contract process. The contracts and bids website portal is accessible through DPW's website
"DPW strives to use technology to improve how we deliver our services to the public." said Mohammed Nuru, Director of the Department of Public Works, "We really want to take the guess work out of getting a contract with DPW by creating a friendly platform that helps to make us more responsive to businesses by enhancing access, increasing efficiency, and making the system easier to navigate."
Prior to the portal, contractors had to navigate information about construction projects through a maze of various posting venues that were not in real-time, such as newspapers and manually updated web pages found on DPW's website. In addition, when project listings on the Office of Contract Administration site expired – on average one month after the bid's opening – interested parties who wanted information after the expiration had to fill out a public information request form with DPW – straining the department's staff time and resources.
DPW's new system of advertising projects allows contractors to access detailed project summaries; easily locate bidding information, such as requirements, due dates, and contact information; download official project advertisements (legal notices); and find important project links – all in real-time.
After a contract has been advertised for bid, contractors will be able to access information such as bid results of up to 12 months, award summaries, Awards of Contract and Certificates of Completion. Also, DPW anticipates the new payment tracking system to be a popular function that will help contractors manage their finances in real-time. The new site also features a search function, which allows interested parties to locate a project without sifting through the city's myriad of postings.
DPW offers three types of contracts: construction contracts for the construction, repair, and improvement of public buildings, streets, parks and playgrounds; professional services contracts for services rendered by engineers, architects, auditors, and consultants; and contracts for equipment, supplies and other general services that provide materials necessary for the maintenance or repair of the city's infrastructure.
DPW is responsible for the care and maintenance of San Francisco's streets and much of its infrastructure. The department cleans and resurfaces streets; plants and maintains City street trees; designs, constructs and maintains city-owned facilities; inspects streets and sidewalks; constructs curb ramps; removes graffiti from public property; and partners with the diverse neighborhoods in San Francisco to provide stellar cleaning and greening services.

You and your George Emerson will run away to this AAA Four Diamond property for a two-night stay, Sundays through Thursdays ($249) or Fridays and Saturdays ($299). "Built in a curving design that allows virtually every room an unobstructed view," says Frommer's, "this luxury hotel sits just 300 feet from Horseshoe Falls—closer than any competitor."
Your Fallsview Guest Room is so near the water, you'll practically feel the mist on your cheeks while gazing out the window. In fact, the hotel earned a place on TripAdvisor's list of the Top Ten Most Spectacular Views in the World. After a restful sleep in your queen bed, wake to admire the glistening falls at sunrise.
Set out to make a splash of your own in the indoor pool—featuring two whirlpools, a sauna, and a steam room—or unwind at award-winning Serenity Spa by the Falls, where you'll receive a $40 credit. For a change of scenery, embark on an included VIP wine tour and tasting at Jackson-Triggs Winery, or use your two shuttle passes to visit the area's attractions.
The Terrapin Grille offers an upscale dining option inside the hotel. Use your $40 dinner credit to feast on juicy steaks and treat your taste buds to acclaimed Niagara wines.
Beyond the property, awe-inspiring views from the Skylon Tower's revolving dining room—775 feet above the falls—will surely broaden your perspective. When you purchase two appetizers, two entrees, and two desserts, you'll receive a $50 dinner discount, a $15 souvenir photo discount, Ride-to-the-Top and Observation Deck admission for two, and complimentary parking at the Skylon Tower.
There's no view like the one from the top, so brighten your outlook with this week's Escape to Niagara Falls before the window closes.
"Put simply, if you want to stay as close to the falls as possible, book here... With comfy beds, a great restaurant, a spa and pool, and the best falls view in town, you may never want to leave this place."-- Frommer's

3 to stand trial on gun charges linked to deputy's killing
One of defendants is accused killer's father and retired cop
HAMBURG, Pa. - Three people arrested following the deadly shooting of a Berks County sheriff's deputy were ordered Monday to stand trial on gun charges.
One of the defendants who appeared before a judge on Monday, Maurice Connor, is a retired police officer and the father of Kyle Pagerly's accused killer, Matthew Connor.
Matthew Connor was also killed in the shootout in Albany Township on June 29.
The other two defendants facing trial are Jared Engelman and Sandra Keim, the latter of whom waived her right to a preliminary hearing on Monday.
Connor and Engelman were charged with numerous weapons violations in connection with the guns Matthew Connor was armed with during the exchange of gunfire with Pagerly, state police said.
Those guns included an AK-47, which was the gun police said Connor used to kill Pagerly while authorities attempted to serve him with a warrant.
According to court documents, Engelman said he bought the AK-47 at a store in Whitehall Township, Lehigh County, in 2004, but later sold it to Maurice Connor. The elder Connor, however, told police earlier this month that it was his son who actually bought the gun from Engelman.
Police said Connor told them he also gave his son a .32 caliber semi-automatic pistol, which was found in Matthew Connor's pocket after he was killed.
Matthew Connor was not legally allowed to own or possess any firearms because of numerous run-ins he had with the law since 2000, police said.
The investigation also revealed that Sandra Keim, the mother of a friend of Matthew Connor, bought him three handguns, two in 2004 and one in 2005, according to court documents. None was used in the killing of Pagerly, police said.
Berks County District Attorney John Adams said each defendant faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison if convicted of all the charges.

Agreed, this post should have been put to rest before being pinned. I've got no interest in F/A unless I'm at Knob Creek or Bulletfest. Don't need a reason "why", common sense is what it's all about. Plenty of our internet afficiandos have been hammered for breaking the law. I can dump 30-40 rounds in no time on semi alone, fun's fun when blasting a barren hillside. ZZ seems to have been somewhat extinct for months unless he's Falfiles regular?Originally Posted by half_wolf
This was but one of his "for interest to all" posts before flying the 'coop that was copied and pasted to every internet gun board...No offense towards his effort, it's just not a relevant topic for most members. Those who choose to do otherwise? They'll be caught and prosecuted. Moot issue for the bulk of gun enthusiests.
Pretty much a moot issue... Full-auto is for those who pay for the stamps and allow federal pigs to investigate at will. Legal, transferable AK's aren't worth the money unless you've got plenty to waste. (Hell, you could buy several F/A's for the $$ for an AK and have three times the fun...)
No thanks, I'll take my semi's, shoot pop bottles, paper, and varmints. As if I could afford to throw thousands of rounds downrange full-speed for nothing but potential prosecution.
Dead thread, started by the spokesperson for Bulgarian (semi) superiority. (search ZZ as nec., Bulgarian AK's are the Creme de la Creme....)
Let's kill this one or condense it down to the realistic points nec. to have any bearing on anything realistic.
It's running the edge of the stupid home-made tannerite thread that suggested using componants likely to put one on a terorrism watch list.
As Barney Fife would say: "Nip it! Just nip it! Nip it in the bud!"
Gawd knows, plenty of Federal Barney's patrol the boards. Don't feed the swine.(they eat everything...)

Jo Jo (Houston, Texas)
Good afternoon, Mr. Ford!Who's is in play for the Mavs pick (what are you hearing)? Pistons, Cavs, others? What is it going to cost besides taking on Marion?
Chad Ford (1:30 PM) I've also heard the Knicks, Thunder and Cavs. Cost is either a 2014 first rounder or taking back Marion into room. By the way, some teams think that the Mavs may already have a deal as the trade talk has silenced in Dallas the past few days. The Mavs can't officially announce anything until after they make their draft selection.
Would Marion have to opt in before this can happen? If so, when is his deadline to opt in/out?
I was looking at the Draft Express video of Nogueria and he's kind of like Davis without any offensive skill besides dunking/oops. That would be a pretty long and mobile front court and he seems like the kind of guy that both Dallas and NOLA could agree on at 13.
Jack playing hero ball and Vasquez trying to use screens to get past the 3 point line have unfortunately been the best options for initiating the offense the past 2 seasons.
Dallas almost certain to trade #13 overall draft pick..should we??
You take Len at 6. Then you take Schroder at 13.
competitive suicide. we dont deal like this to help a conf/div foe. dont even know why this keeps coming up.
Dallas will move this pick and clear their cap space. Why not be the team that benefits?
10.7 + #13 slotted salary/1.9mil=13mil. i think i summed that up correctly.
a lot of suggestions on here are to deal and flip. why not just use our own cap space, picks and 1year guys to get the same outcome.
Cuban is adamant, however, that the rumors about the Mavs being willing to part with the pick for minimal return if a team takes Shawn Marion's $9.32 million salary off their hands are inaccurate. Cuban insists that the Mavs have not had any talks with teams about trading Marion. "Not a single discussion," Cuban said via email to ESPNDallas.com.
Cuban nervous about clearing cap space for nothing 2 years in a row.

text: Hi. How can I change the method of mail forwarding. I have two e-mail accounts. [email protected] and [email protected]. Real accounts (no aliases) - both account are needed as real accounts - any of them can't be as an alias. I wish every mail that has been sent to a@ was copied (typical forward) to b@. I cannot do that now because forwarding wants me to create ALIAS which cannot be created (a@ is REAL account). Any solution? Thanks

Now's your chance to Escape to this far-out location with a stay for two at Ice House Lodge, hailed as one of the best 25 properties for skiers in the entire world by London's The Sunday Times.
Make s'mores, not war in your hotel room, complete with two full beds and a deck, as well as an oversize tub to soak your feet after a day in the snow.

I have an electric embedder that appears to have stopped working. I opened the box and tested the transformer and got 0V across the terminals. I went out and purchased a new 16V doorbell transformer from Menards: http://www.menards.com/main/electric...293-c-6464.htm
I installed this and hooked back up the embedding tool, tried it out, but I couldn't get the wire to warm up to embed into the wax. I tested between the 2 terminals and I am getting current, so that shouldn't be the problem. Does anyone have any ideas?

Voting Largely Orderly in Uganda
"I'm voting for change," he said.
Mr. Kibwami, along with many others here in Uganda's capital, voted for the leading opposition candidate, Kizza Besigye, who is trying to unseat President Yoweri Museveni, in power for the past 25 years.
But while the opposition has made some inroads into urban areas, Mr. Museveni was running strong in the countryside, where the vast majority of Uganda's voters live.
This country of about 33 million people is holding presidential and parliamentary elections, and the voting seemed to mostly proceed in an orderly, albeit slow, fashion on Friday, with millions flocking to the polls starting at the crack of dawn.
There were a few sporadic flare-ups of violence, with at least one person killed and several injured in confrontations between opposition and governing party supporters. In one episode in eastern Uganda, witnesses said that government soldiers opened fire on the convoy of a popular opposition politician, wounding 10. The day before, a campaign worker was beaten to death by political rivals, leading to the arrest of a candidate for Parliament.
In Kampala on Friday, people stood quietly in long, snaking lines in front of schools, government offices and churches. In most places, the voting was done outside, in dusty lots and grassy fields, where poll workers squeezed into tiny desks borrowed from elementary schools.
There were complaints of some polling stations opening late, and one Western observer reported suspicious activity at a location near a military base where ballot boxes were full of votes before the official opening time, 7 a.m. The government also sought to censor text messages during the elections, seeking to block words it thought might incite unrest, like "Egypt" or "bullet," according to news reports.
Mr. Museveni, a former rebel leader who seized power in 1986, has tried to cultivate a folksy, avuncular image as the father of modern Uganda and the one who lifted it out of years of civil war in the 1970s and 1980s. He seems to have successfully merged, in the eyes of many voters, the state with himself. Several voters said they could not imagine anyone else leading the country.
"The other candidates are just troublemakers," said Ramadan Ali Kasule, a vendor of secondhand shoes. "I'm voting for the president. Anybody else could take us back to war." By Friday evening, the counting had begun, with poll workers emptying plastic tubs of ballots, methodically unfolding them, holding them up to show to the observers and then tallying the numbers. Preliminary results are expected Saturday or Sunday.
Some people here have been talking about Egyptian-style protests if Mr. Museveni's agents try to rig the election. The opposition has accused the president of rigging before. But when pressed, several young Ugandans admitted that they were scared to hit the streets in the presence of security forces deployed in great numbers around the country. Soldiers with Kalashnikovs were lounging on the corners of just about every major avenue here.
At the end of the day, many young people said, Uganda was much different from Egypt, where protesters managed to push out a longstanding ruler. "Egypt's more developed," said Denis Muhangi, a veterinarian. "Those people know their rights. But out here in the countryside, all they care about is peace. They can be bought for salt and 10,000 shillings," about $4. He was referring to the Ugandan practice — common across much of Africa — in which candidates crisscross the rural areas in four-wheel-drive trucks before elections, sprinkling wads of money wherever they go.

Oh boy , many sources I studied say a screen bottom allows for ventilation which in turn prevents water condensation and wet bees.
now I am reading that closed bottoms allow for higher humidity inside the hive,resulting in a decrease in Varroa mites and happier bees since they dont have to work as hard transporting water.
our humidity in this area usually stays arround 70-80% year round(its currently 40 degress temp and 72% humidity)with even higher ranges durring parts of the summer.
Wouldn't the humidity be excessive with closed bottom?
Is anyone working with the extended bottom with shavings? If so how is it coming? Also wouldnt it result in the larvae of the SHB staying inside the hive base to hatch.
In trying to do right for my bee companions before introducing them to their new home I find myself asking more questions and certainly expanding my horizons

Is a duplex that just been refurbished, with two bedrooms, one with a double bed the other with three single beds, two stunning bathrooms, kitchen equipped with everything you need to feel at home.
This apartment is situated in the heart of the city, 5 minutes from Rossio and the city main avenue (Avenida da Liberdade) which has all the transport you need, metro, bus and taxis.
Is situated close to the wonderful Lavra lift which we advice you to visit and to the Torel Garden with amazing views over Lisbon
There are several buses and trams, and subway, 5 minutes away, although one can easily walk to the main points of the city.Ten minutes walking is the heart of the glamorous and cosmopolitan city can still be felt in the Chiado, a place where the "new" and "old" live in harmony. Characterized by casual-chic atmosphere, with streets full of shops, fine restaurants, beautiful cobblestone, beautiful churches and timeless cafes, Chiado makes any visitor feel real Lisbon.
Chiado is where Lisbon's history and urbanity meet. This tourist area of the capital begins at the Brasileira café, on Rua Garrett. Opened in 1905. It´s one of Lisbon's postcards. On the side walk café you will find the different urban tribes and a statue of poet Fernando Pessoa, who offers his lap for tourist photos.
Next to it, two churches remind the vanished towers of Santa Catarina Gate. The Church of Loreto, built in 1528 by Italians living in Lisbon, was partially destroyed by the 1755 earthquake, but later rebuilt and one of the places to visit on Chiado. The Church of Encarnação, inaugurated in 1708, was also hit in 1755 and rebuilt later. But Chiado has more than just two churches to see.
Luís de Camões square, which any Lisboner will call Largo Camões, is not just a passing place. Sit on the steps of the poet's monument and enjoy the bustle that Chiado has.
But do not leave Chiado without inquiring about the theatres. São Luiz Municipal Theatre was one of Lisbon's first cinemas. Today it is a municipal theatre with a rich and varied programming. Also glimpse the Teatro Trindade and the S. Carlos Opera House.
This is one of the city´s best shopping areas. You will find international brand shops (Hermès and Hugo Boss, for example) and great Portuguese designers like José António Tenente (Tv. Carmo, 8) StoryTailors (Cç. Do Ferragial, 8) or Atelier Alves/Gonçalves (Tv. Guilherme Cossul, 16).
It is not difficult to come across public figures, mainly artists. There are several art schools in the area, like the Fine Arts Faculty. Even if you are not an expert, venture into the Chiado Museum - National Museum of Contemporary Art (Rua Serpa Pinto, 4) besides well-cared exhibitions, it has a pleasant patio to have lunch or simply sip a coffee. There is also a big offer for meals: Café Royale, New Wok and Kaffee Hause are excellent choices.

Perfektní lokalita velmi blízko ke všemu v Lisbona. V bytě byla nedávno zrekonstruována, takže je to téměř nový. Má Wi-Fi (což bylo velmi důležité pro naše děti) a TV se satelitním příjmem s jakoukoliv mezinárodními kanály. Kuchyně má vše, co potřebujete, ale nepoužíváme ji. Všichni ve všech velmi dobré lokalitě za peníze.
Perfect location very near to everything in lisbona. The apartment has been refurbished recently so it's near new. It has wifi (which was very important for our children) and tv with satellite with any kind of international channels. The cousine has everything you need but we don't use it. All in all a very good location for the money.
My friend and me absolutely loved the apartment. Both bathrooms and bedrooms were nice and spacy and equipped with all you need to feel comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped, too, dishwasher and even a washing machine included. Just around the corner was a crocery shop that - although small - had everything from bread, fresh fruit/vegetables and other necessities. The apartment is only a 10 minute walk from the city center, metro station etc. Checkin and checkout worked very timely and smoothly, very nice person who met us at the apartment and booked us a taxi on our checkout day to get to the airport. So we were absolutely satisfied and did not see one thing to complain about. We would definitely book this apartment again on our next trip to Lisbon. Thank you very much - dear hosts.
The accommodation was basic (in decoration, etc.) but sufficient for us. Central location, enough beds, wifi, tv, 2 bathrooms. As advertised. (we missed a toaster and a coffee machine)
Communications with the host was good. But the handover of the key was a bit unlucky. We arrived in the evening 9 pm, and while on the phone everything was ok, the guy who brought the key was late. So we had to wait up to 30 minutes outside. Not a deal breaker, but a point for attention (don't let a family with kids wait 30 minutes in a, for them, completely unknown location:) ... I will deduct 1 full point for this.
So, I was going to give a 7/10 (8 for the basic, but as advertised, accommodation and 1 minus point for the key-handover) but I will give 1 full point extra because the people at the office really took good care of us the last day ...
... we had an evening flight (10 pm), but had to check out at 11 am (normal procedure). The people in the office offered the following solution for our luggage. We could store the luggage at their office until 7 pm, so we could enjoy another, near full, day in Lisbon. At 7 pm we picked up our luggage, and the office called a taxi for us. Top marks for that!
So, all in all, a great stay!
A well deserved 8/10
Thanks Philipp for answering our 1000 questions about Lisbon, showing us the Appartment in detail. Very nice stay at a quiet but central place....
PS: just paid 12 euro for the TAXI to the airport ......very good recommendation and very good service from you ...we come again !
We loved to stay here!
Really beautiful, clean with everything you might need in a quiet little street but still in the centre. Perfect for us- we would love to come back :)
We had a very pleasant stay in Lisbon. The host was very nice and helpful. The appartment was spacious and clean. The beds were good and the kitchen was fully equipped. The only downsides were the ants inside in the appartment (so put out the garbage immediately) and that we had to get up 187 steps to get to the appartment because it is located quite high in the city. Nevertheless this was a good excercise and we didn't really mind it. We would definitely recommend the appartment!
Very nice, friendly &helpful people.
Well equipped, very comfortable flat, situated in quiet neighborhood, but in the center -good localisation.
We are satisfied and really recommend this apartment.
Lovely apartment in a quiet part of town, a 5 minute walk down to Rossio Square and the heart of Lisbon. Great communication from Margarida and her team, who were incredibly friendly and helpful. I will definitely be staying with them again when I return to Lisbon.
The apartment is in an ideal location, close to all-you-can-need local groceries and spot on restaurants, where we could feel the spirit of the old Lisbon. Well equipped, although we lacked some small details like dishwasher tablets ;-) It is on the steep hill, so getting up and down twice a day was a bit exhausting (esp. that we were with small children), so may be a minus, unless keeping fit is your priority. The kids got used to in the end, too :)
Nevertheless if we vistited Lisbon again, we would definately come back there.
Thanks for a warm welcome to Joanna!
We stayed 4 days in lissabon and were 5 people. The apartment was wonderful, centrally located and the host very nice with a wonderful tipp for a restaurant that we enjoyed (the decadente in barrio alto). The beds in the room for 3 were a bit small and instable, but apart from that we can highly recommend the apartment!

Every summer since 1954, Alex Katz has lived and painted in the nearby town of Lincolnville. In addition to his signature figure paintings, much of his work has concentrated on the land- and seascape of this midcoast village. In recent years in particular, Katz's work has included lushly painted, subtly colored large-scale canvases intimately connected to the place he has called home for more than five decades. This exhibition focuses on Katz's most recent works from his annual Lincolnville sojourn; all of the paintings are from the artist's own collection.
The primary media sponsor of this exhibition is Down East magazine, books and online.

Excerpt: "Rex Ryan surrendered his usual Combine procedure this time around, refusing to
issue another empty Super Bowl guarantee from the Indianapolis lectern that
hosted his boasting this time last year.

The Jets coach is working feverishly to push the needle away from the
disappointing, no-playoff story line of the 2011 season he had guaranteed would
take the final Super Bowl step beyond two straight losses in the AFC
Championship game. And hes decided the smartest route away from the bombast
that defined his first three years in charge is to stop issuing the type of
championship proclamations hindsight now tells him layered too much pressure for
his players to handle.

First off, no promises, Ryan promised.

But before he could finish off his 15-minute media session, Ryan found
another convenient way to change the conversation of last years disaster. When
the coach, along with his boss Mike Tannenbaum, declined to make any promise
they would not pursue Colts quarterback Peyton Manning, the door on the NFLs
craziest road show swung open once again. These Woody Johnson Jets have long led
the league in good theater, if not in good football, and their willingness to
dive headfirst into the potentially imminent Manning pool has delivered our next
Are you talking about my son or some other Peyton? Ryan quipped when the
subject of Manning was first brought up, when he was asked why despite multiple
opportunities, he has not ruled out the possibility of subbing out incumbent
starter Mark Sanchez for the four-time MVP, but injury-riddled Manning?

Mannings oversized contract and unknown health status are all but certain to
get him released by the Colts, and while Ryan wont make promises, he still can
make headlines.

Peytons under contract to another team, so I cant talk about him
specifically, Ryan said. But with our organization, well look at anyone.
Theres a list of 10 free agent quarterbacks Ive looked at. In my opinion, we
have the best cornerback [Darrelle Revis] in the history of cornerbacks
alongside Deion Sanders, and were still looking at corners. We will do our due
diligence by looking at every player regardless of position. We will always do
whats in the best interest of our organization; for us that means were going
to be prepared, and were going to look at all the possibilities.

Suddenly, it feels an awful lot like 2008, when Johnsons star-crossed
ownership eyes fell in love with Brett Favre, so he ordered the franchise to
trade for Favre and discard incumbent Chad Pennington. When the aging Favres
shoulder fell apart, the season, and the tenure of coach Eric Mangini, went down
with him. That begat the Ryan-Sanchez era, and despite four road playoff wins
and two AFC title appearances across its first two seasons, the 2011 dysfunction
of a splintered offense and fractured locker room suddenly have changed the
discussion. Those Jet knees are jerking again, and theyre aimed straight at
Sanchezs back.

Mark is his own worst critic. He wants to be great and thats what we like
about Mark. Were fortunate hes our starter, Tannenbaum said. With that said,
he has to play better. He has to play more consistent. We think he will
regardless whos behind him. Over the next couple months, could our quarterback
position as a whole look different? Absolutely. Well see how the off-season
No promises. Continued professions of Sanchez belief aside, this still has
the makings of Favre Part II, because the Jets always are seduced by these
famous guys." Read more...

Hi guys, where can I find US FAL stock sets? I know tapco used to have them, and DSA has them too (but, pricy), then who else?
also, other than a different lower/stock, does the para also use different internal parts comparing to a fixed FAL?
And who makes good US FAL FCG sets? are they expensive?
