Bump for a cool guy and nice collection...
BTW...what kind of wood floor is that...looks really nice...trying to get mine to be like dat.
1 PSL built by RedJacket
1 Type III Milled fixed stock (see the "Cool AK" thread in general AK forum
1 Norinco 84s. An old arizona cowboy's saddle rifle. When he died his wife sold it to a local pawn shop for 100 bucks.
1 Romanian MD63 underfolder (I think) Built by Redjacket. has the reverse dong and the tubular milled, slanted underfolder stock original to the first russian AKMs. Not a G rifle.
1 AKs74 triangle sidefolder in plum built by RedJacket
1 Absolutely beautiful bulgarian AK74 wood, fixed stock
1. 1951 Tula russian original SKS
1 AMD65, one of a kind built by me it's my truck gun and the one that goes with me everywhere. See pic below
That leaves me with 15 AKs to sell. I guess I got a little carried away back in the heyday.
AKA Mohawk
You can throw that AMD65 in my truck anytime!!!!!Viragos did my a favor once by hand selecting a M70AB1 from J@G some years ago.Thanks you sir,the build turned out excellent and is my favorite AK.Hope your health gets better.I am fighting cancer myself(and winning at the moment).having to sell off some things too.LOL!!!!!gunut
Please send me your tele #. and a good time to call.
Thanks, Bill
If I were living in a free state I would buy this in a heartbeat. I live in California and we can't have those toys here.
I just received the rifle from Viragos and man it is gorgeous...DON'T BE FOOLED by the pictures...the product itself is a hundred times better in pristine shape in person...THANK YOU Viragos!!!!
Viragos...I think you used too much flash when taking the pics making the receiver looks more grayish...the rifle itself is more blackish in person and again beautiful...hell I am even afraid to shoot it. Yes I am still eye balling your type III...
Whoever bought that Yugo underfolder is in for a treat too!!!
Viragos is a stand up guy and done many on this forum favors in hand selecting kits at J&G (thank you again for the beauty you picked out for me at that time).
I wish I was back in the states - I'd jump on those .223 ak's like there was no tomorrow.
It is a shame your son isn't into guns.

Ted Nugent - speaking at the NRA convention April 17, 2005
Expendable47, glad to hear that you are hap-hap-happy with the rifle. It is a beaut. All rifles advertised in this post are sold with the exception of the polytech legend. There will be a donation sent shortly to Gunco, this site did more for me than anywhere else, going back to 2004 and the "Conley" incident. I learned more here than all the rest put together. Great bunch of guys then, great bunch of guys now. I learned to just stay out of the politics threads.

My Bersa's...
Printable View
Good looking group of auto pistoals you got there. I like that Thunder .380 with the rubber grips real well.
I wish I still had the earlier Bersa 380's I bought back in the late 70's and early 90's, but I sold my first one in the early 80's to help buy a nickel plated Colt Combat Commander from a friend and the next Bersa I got in the early 90's was stolen during a burglary a few years later. I eventually got the gun back, but it was in such bad shape when the police recovered it that I had them destroy it. I got back into buying Bersa's again about 5 years ago when I picked up a T-380 NIB for $180 and haven't looked back. The photo of my T-380 probably dates the gun since it doesn't have the built in trigger lock you see on Bersa's built in the past 3 or 4 years.

Look for Pacific Flounder. Its delicate flavor is wonderfully balanced by the sweet and savory combination of orange, shallot and mustard. A large nonstick skillet is highly recommended. Otherwise, cook the fillets in two batches, using 1 1/2 teaspoons oil per batch.

Step 1
Mix flour, salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Thoroughly dredge fish fillets in the mixture.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking (see Tip). Add the fish and cook until lightly browned and just opaque in the center, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and cover loosely with foil.
Step 3
Add shallot to the pan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until softened and beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Add wine and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits. Cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Add orange juice and mustard; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the sauce thickens a bit, about 5 minutes. Add butter and parsley; stir until the butter has melted. Transfer fish to individual plates, top with sauce and serve.

Gonna bee doing some feeding the next couple of weeks near Bakersfield and was wondering where the closest outlet was for liquid sucrose.
And by the way, I pollinate apples, peaches and cherries in Utah a few weeks after I come out of the almonds. I have one grower who will not let me place my hives until the trees are starting to bloom. He says the bees will get started working the dandelions and not go to the trees. My other grower lets me place them early and gets a great set. It makes it hard when I have to wait and wait and then put them all in in a couple of days. I think he's a reasonable man and if I could show him a study or something that would confirm my thought that it doesn't matter when you put them in as long as they're there when the trees are blooming it would be very helpful... Unless he is right and I'm wrong and a study would show otherwise. Anyway, any suggestions? Thank you.

>What do we know, though, about the survival of these mites in the post varroa time frame.
Again, just an opinion from Nancy Ostiguy in the same talk with no reference to known facts, she believed they had mostly been wiped out by the acaracides. I know the bee louse (which is not really a louse or a mite but part of the fauna of the hive) is almost unheard of now and used to be fairly common. Most of those mites are microscopic so I'm sure no one noticed if they were or were not missing unless they were seriously looking. Scientists usually don't keep track of the "bystanders."

Nourished kicks off all the fun tomorrow in Lombard. You could say it's part of the GFAF Expo since it's at the same hotel and many of the bloggers will be speaking, teaching, or attending the expo in the days that follow. At last year's expo, many gluten and allergy free bloggers showed up for the classes and fair and everyone had such a great time. It was fun to finally meet each other in person since we follow each others' blogs.
|Gluten Free Bloggers 2011. Recognize anyone?
This weekend is also the Gluten and Allergy Free Expo at the Weston Hotel in Lombard. Being in its 5th year, I've watched this event get bigger and bigger. Like in the previous years, specialized cooking classes will be offered for those who register beforehand. The vendor fair is open to the public for a $20 entrance fee ($5 for kids) and attendees can sample tons of gluten free foods and products, listen to the presentations at the public stage, shop the Expo store and more. I recommend arriving early on an empty stomach, bringing a water bottle (there is so much to eat!) and having an extra bag to carry all the handouts and goodies home.
If any of you attended last year, you might have seen me at the Udi's Gluten Free table sampling out buns and muffins. This year I'll be showing my love for the Rudi's Gluten Free team. I won't be working at their booth, but if you see me around, be sure to say hello!
If all of this excitement wasn't enough, next Friday, April 20th, The Celiac Center at the University of Chicago will be hosting their Annual Spring Flours Benefit to fund celiac disease research to one day find a cure. I have been lucky enough to attend the past couple of years (and last year thanks to Enjoy Life Foods), and have been beyond impressed by the amount of detail that goes into this event.
Close to 30 Chicago restaurants with gluten free menus are there sampling their gluten free cuisine. A presentation on the current status of the Center's research is given. Live and silent auctions are held on an array of wonderful products, services and experiences. There is even a raffle with more fabulous gifts to take home. Best of all, attendees get a giant goodie bag filled with Enjoy Life products and other goodies. If you can afford it, GO!

A different question is why you want to make these labels small in the
first place. This is the key information the graph is designed to
show, in your case percents of GDP by sector of economy, or some such.
It can get crowded on the categorical axis, obliging the graph
designer to squeeze labels a bit, but this is the y axis, and there
should be plenty of space.

Special to the
ELTON — Three people, including a child, were injured Tuesday after their vehicle was hit by a freight train just west of Elton.
The driver, Pamela Thomas Thompson, 32, and a passenger, Jennifer Gentry, 26, both of Elton, suffered moderate injuries, state police Sgt. James Anderson said. A 3-year-old child in the vehicle suffered minor injuries.
All three were taken to area hospitals, Anderson said. No one in the vehicle was restrained, he said.
Thompson was traveling north on Liberty Cemetery Road just north of U.S. 190 when she drove into the path of a westbound Union Pacific train, state police said.
Thompson placed the vehicle in reverse and tried to back out of the path of the train. The vehicle was struck by the train near the passenger side front tire and was pushed off the track.
Thompson was charged with failure to yield to a train, failure to wear a seatbeat and no child restraint.
The vehicle traveled 104 feet on a grassy area south of the railroad track before stopping, police said. The train traveled about four-tenths of a mile after impact.
The railroad crossing was marked with crossing and yield signs, but did not have flashing lights, gates or bells.
A toxicology sample was obtained from Thompson for analysis.


text: Okay, so i have a new to me 1988 chevy silverado 1500 long wheel base single cab and i have just recently purchased a new aftermarket radio system from crutchfield.com complete with all the needed wiring adapters and such. I went to install the radio today only to find out that it will not work. i have already disassembled the old OEM factory radio and taken out the old cassette player. I have gotten all the wiring hooked up right (to my knowledge according to color matching of the wires) and it will not turn on. The factory radio beforehand worked fine, just did not produce a quality sound. Then i come to find out that Now my interior lights will not work anymore. I have tried checking the radio fuse to see if it was blown but it looks to be just fine. I did notice that when i went to insert the wires through the dash in order to plug them into the aftermarket radio that i caused a little bit of a spark bc i had forgotten to disconnect the battery. But i immediately checked to see if the truck would still crank and i checked all my lights and they still worked (i dont know about the interior lights though because it was daylight and i didnt think to check them). But im thinking that maybe i blew a fusable link in a wire somewhere?? I dont know where i would check that at? Deeper inside the dash on all the radio control wires or what? i dont know. And is there also another type of fuse box that i dont know about in this truck other than the one to the right of the parking brake release? I would really like some advice on what to do before i go ripping all the plastic pieces out of the dash though. LOL. And now about the heater and air control....Apparently the heater had worked perfectly fine before the trucks engine computer was replaced, but now it will not work at all. The button lights to the heater control unit will light up, but the little display screen shows nothing. Is it just a faulty Heater Control panel or could it be something else? The truck is old, but as far as mechanics go it is great. Just little electrical problems like these are really becoming a pain :grrrrrr: Any advice would greatly be appreciated! Thanks

I don't believe he likes KG but is all about team and would never say a bad word. It is time to have more of an up tempo office and not one that plays not to lose.

Been thinking of buying an embroidery machine that is inexpensive. I have a good sewing machine. Don't know how much I would use it. How many of you have one and what would be a good one to buy? Thanks in advance for all the input.

Been thinking of buying an embroidery machine that is inexpensive. I have a good sewing machine. Don't know how much I would use it. How many of you have one and what would be a good one to buy? Thanks in advance for all the input.
If you are just beginning I would suggest:
- you set your budget
- look at all models available
- definitely get one with a USB port for downloading designs from the 'net
- decide if you really 'need' the bigger hoops or not
- look at those that are gently used and given in trade for fancier machines
That way you will know if you will use it enough to justify a bigger purchase later. Many of my quilting friends are quite happy with their old machines because they do what they want them to.
I have Vikings and love them; just upgraded to their best Diamond Deluxe. My suggestion to you is to check out the dealers where you live. The machine is very important but so is the store you are dealing with. You'll want one where you can get classes and support. I vetoed on brand because the LQS here that sells them are some of the rudest people around; I wouldn't want to rely on them. My viking store is totally the opposite and I've never had a bad experience there and they are just nice people, great classes and lots of help. Our teacher is always listening to what we want to learn both with the software and the machine and incorporates that into our classes. They've even started classes in using the sewing part of the machine; not just the embroidery part. I love my machine and its very addicting. Good luck and happy hunting.
Just wanted to add; the hoop size is very important. If you only get a 4X4 hoop you'll be very limited and get bored really soon. My largest hoop is over 13 in; there is lots of options for my machine so look for not only what size hoop comes with it but if you can get any larger ones too.
I have a janome and love it and since they're coming out with a new embroidery machine march 1, maybe the others will go down in price.
Depends on your budget. I have a Viking which is extremely expensive even when it's on sale. Look into the Brothers, I have seen people in classes I have taken with Brothers who are very happy with them. Make sure whatever machine you get you can easily buy single embroidery designs for off the internet. It will save you a small fortune to be able to buy just one design instead of a whole package. You have already received some great ideas in previous posts, consider them all.
I have a Brother and highly recommend them! They have machines with a wide variety of options and prices. It's already been said tho, hoop size is important, and the USB port.
I'm a Brother lover too....I believe they have the lowest prices and have embroidery only machines.
I have the Viking Ruby. I love it. I had an old Singer embroidery machine (2005) I do not like that one.

I was a roadie for one of the SF bands mentioned above, the Sons of Champlin, from 1968 until 2010. I worked on shows with pretty nearly every sixties and seventies band.
What people like musically is as diverse as what they like in bikes. One size does not fit all. I saw amazing shows by legendary artists, and I have to say that Ike and Tina Turner in 1969 were about as good a show as you could ever get. That was before a friend of mine played bass with that group and I found out what a monstrous jerk Ike Turner was. But the band was hot and Tina was off the charts.
I worked on a summer tour with the Sons of Champlin and Average White Band. Pretty good show that.
I saw Santana in early 1969 when they were unknown and played audition night at the Fillmore, one of only two bands to go from a Tuesday audition to a weekend headline. (The other was Tower of Power.) Santana sounded like their first album as soon as they took the stage for the first time. How did an act like that put itself together in a garage?

The Attorney General's Professional Licensing & Homeowner Protection Unit works to protect homeowners from mortgage fraud and predatory lending. The Unit files civil court actions against individuals and companies committing deceptive and fraudulent business practices as mortgage brokers, foreclosure consultants, credit services organizations, and suppliers of other consumer services. The Unit also enforces the statutes and rules that regulate licensed professionals such as real estate agents and appraisers in Indiana.
Mortgage fraud has escalated into one of the fastest-growing white-collar crimes in the nation. Mortgage fraud is a criminal offense and often involves fraud against mortgage lenders by mortgage brokers, real estate agents, appraisers and/or the buyers. Here is a list of tips to help you avoid becoming a victim of mortgage fraud:
Mortgage fraud can be devastating for borrowers and their families. The number of mortgage fraud cases and the foreclosure crisis facing Indiana homeowners is having a negative effect on our nation's economy, property values, and financial markets. The Office of the Indiana Attorney General has mobilized to make every attempt to combat this crisis in our state.
It is important consumers are fully informed of their rights and responsibilities as homeowners. In an effort to keep Hoosiers facing tough financial times in their homes, the State of Indiana has passed a law that provides Hoosiers an avenue to talk directly to their lenders, creating opportunities for homeowners to stay in their home. Benefits of this law include:
Attorneys are available to assist homeowners during a settlement conference. To request a pro bono attorney contact the IFPN. If you feel you have been the victim of a deceptive real estate transaction or have knowledge of violations committed by a licensed professional in Indiana, you can submit a consumer complaint online at www.IndianaConsumer.com or you may contact the Consumer Protection Division at 317.232.6330 or toll free at 1.800.382.5516.
Mortgage loan applicants are entitled to certain rights under state law. Creditors are statutorialy required to provide a notice of such rights to borrowers and perspective borrowers within three business days after having received a completed mortgage loan application.

Binghamton University report highlights campus' contributions to local, regional economy
Binghamton University faculty, staff, students and visitors spent more than $400 million in the 2004-05 fiscal year, providing an economic impact of about $700 million in Broome County and $894.5 million in New York State.
That's according to a new report from the University's Office of Institutional Research and Planning, which also found that:
• For every dollar the state invests in the University, about $8 is returned to Greater Binghamton and New York State.
• The presence of the University supports 11,900 full-time jobs in New York State, nearly 10,000 of which are in Broome County.
• The University spent $44.3 million on construction projects in 2004-05, resulting in an economic impact of nearly $100 million for the state.
• Volunteer services provided by students are valued at millions of dollars annually.
"This report demonstrates the many ways in which Binghamton University is a driving force for the Southern Tier," President Lois B. DeFleur said. "Our students, faculty and staff are absolutely vital to the economic well-being of our region and New York State."
Research analyst Daniel Jardine worked on the report, which uses a widely accepted modeling system developed by the U.S. Commerce Department to estimate the "ripple effect" the University has on the local and state economies. He noted the University's impact on the local and state economies has grown steadily in each of the last four years for a change of about 12 percent from 2000- 01 to 2004-05.
Jardine said the report offers a better understanding for what an economic powerhouse the University really is.
What would the local economy look like if the University weren't here?" he asked. "Consider that the University supports one in 10 jobs in Broome."
The University spent $317.9 million on wages and salaries, goods and services and construction in 2004-05. As a result, an additional $222.6 million of economic activity was generated locally. The total impact of Binghamton University spending on the county economy was $540.5 million, while the total impact on the state was $689.8 million.
"New initiatives such as the Binghamton University Education and Community Development Center and the Linux Technology Center also help us contribute in new ways," DeFleur added. "The bottom line is that money invested in the University is money well spent."
The University also stimulates economic activity through spending by students and visitors. Binghamton's nearly 14,000 undergraduate and graduate students spent about $74.4 million in Greater Binghamton in 2004-05, resulting in 1,785 Broome County jobs and an impact on the local economy of $126.5 million. The impact on New York could be estimated at $161.5 million. The report also estimates the economic effect of the nearly 75,000 annual campus visitors. It takes into account people who come for events such as graduation and homecoming, campus tours, family weekend and athletic contests and looks at their likely spending on hotels, food, entertainment and shopping.
By this model, visitors spent nearly $20 million in 2004-05 for a total New York State impact of about $43.2 million.
In addition, the report offers a conservative look at the contributions of Binghamton's alumni. The nearly 51,000 Binghamton graduates of working age who live in New York State likely pay at least $80.4 million in state income tax and another $49.9 million in sales tax.

I looked at a ton of old and new rivalries and different fans opinions and thought "wow the cowboys have a lot of rivals"
Obviously everybody in the NFC east hates them.
But the 49ers used to have a huge rivalry with them.
Saints fans I've noticed are pissed at them for ruining they're winning streak in 2009.
Steelers hate them for the SB rivalry.
Packers fans hate them because they're basically the polar opposite of the cowboys in fanbase and system.
Raiders fans hate them but they hate everybody.
Bills fans hate for beating them in the SB.

ABB-Backed Wave-Power Developer in Talks With Possible InvestorsLouise Downing
Aquamarine Power Ltd., a developer of wave-energy devices backed by ABB Ltd., is talking with possible new strategic investors to help bring its technology to market.
The company, based in Edinburgh, Scotland, plans to add one or two investors to provide funds and know-how, Chief Executive Officer Martin McAdam said by e-mail, declining to elaborate.
ABB, the world's biggest supplier of power grids, Siemens AG, Alstom SA and DCNS SA have bought stakes in marine-energy businesses such as Aquamarine and Tidal Generation Ltd. This year developers will get projects into the water as the industry moves toward producing pre-commercial wave farms, McAdam said.
"Once these schemes get underway and start delivering electricity in 2014 and 2015, I anticipate we may see consolidation in the tidal sector, and new investment in leading wave energy technologies," he said.
Aquamarine is testing its device at the European Marine Energy Centre in Orkney and plans to install another machine at the same site next year, McAdam said. The company expects to win full approval from the Scottish government in "coming weeks" for a 40-megawatt facility off the Isle of Lewis, he said.
It plans to deploy the first 3 megawatts of its Isle of Lewis site by early 2015, funding the facility in stages with a combination of private equity, public grants and possibly debt.
While wave and tidal energy has the potential to meet as much as 20 percent of Britain's current electricity demand, no commercial-scale projects are now operating. Scotland may be able to provide 25 percent of Europe's tidal power and 10 percent of its wave power, according to the government.
Aquamarine is working with SSE Plc, the second-biggest U.k. energy supplier, on a 200-megawatt farm off Orkney and is also interested in France, Ireland, Chile and the U.S., McAdam said.

I can understand your concern because I went through a similair situation recently. My first 1911 was a NIB Kimber Pro Crimson Carry, it runs flawlessly but for my size (5' 10" 160lbs), I think it's just a bit long for me to CC. I had a Glock 19 I was using for CC but the darn thing was sooooo ugly I had to remove it from my premises and I started looking around for a Kimber Ultra CDP. Once the word got out that I was looking around I had a few people contact me with suggestions about guns they had seen. One guy told me about a used Ultra CDP at a gun shop in Georgia, he held it and checked it out pretty closely. He asked the owner of the shop about the history of the gun and was told that the first owner was an attorney in town who never fired the gun that he knew of other than on the day he bought it, maybe 50 rounds. He wanted $900.
This was a tough decision for me, should I trust the guy that told me about it? Yes, he's a good guy and knows 1911's in & out. So I bought it and when it came in I was not disappointed at all. It looked brand new to me.
I think it comes down to a gut decision after you've digested all the info you're able to get about the gun. I trust Kimber 1911's and wouldn't hesitate to buy another, new or used.

Where I stayed
The day before we were due to drive up to Port Douglas we discovered that we had been bumped from our accommodation again. I spoke to the manager of the place we were supposed to stay and was told that we had been upgraded (by a whole half star!) to a place called Le Cher Du Monde. I had a quick look on the internet and it looked fine with the bonus of being much closer to the middle of town than the place we had originally booked.
So, we packed up our stuff in Cairns, Richard took a while to say goodbye to the enormous TV and we drove the short drive to Port Douglas. My first impression of Le Cher Du Monde wasn't promising as I was told we were too early and to go away! So, not much French charm there. We went for a walk for an hour down to the marina and around town and then headed back in the hope that we would be allowed in our room
I settled down to watch TV while R did battle with the crab. We had optimistically bought some nut crackers that we hoped would serve as "crab crackers" but our crab was a feisty one. The nut crackers wouldn't open the claws and neither would me stamping on them. Eventually R resorted to bashing them against the worktop which did the trick. After much bashing, crashing, picking and poking, the crab was defeated and R cooked up a delicious crab and prawn pasta dinner - yum!
We were up bright and early the next day as we had booked places on a reef fishing trip. Neither of us have been fishing before so we were intrigued to see how the day would go. The sun splitting the sky was a good start as we made our way down to our boat, Dragon Lady. There were 8 passengers and 2 crew on the boat and soon we were racing out to the reef. After a quick briefing on how to fish (mainly for R and me as everyone else seemed to know what they were doing) we were let loose with handlines and pilchards for bait
We moved on to the next fishing spot as we didn't seem to be catching anything else and I got another bite! This time I managed to pull the fish up myself and it turned out to be a trevallion - a big grey fish. It seemed like I was getting the hang of this fishing lark, although I then proceeded to fail to catch anything for the next three hours....
Most of our companions were being quite successful, particularly one guy at the back corner of the boat who seemed to catch a fish every few minutes! Unfortunately a father and son who had come on the trip weren't coping too well with the high waves where we were fishing so they had had to retire to the cabin to lie down and only managed to catch one fish before they had to retire for the whole day..
We kept moving on to a new area as soon as people stopped catching anything, which was fine by me as it seemed like every time we moved on, I would go into the cabin and they would have laid out more food for us! For the next couple of fishing spots, R and I were really just feeding the pilchards to the fish but then R got his first catch and it was a pretty fancy one! He had managed to catch a remora (also known as a shark sucker) which has an odd flat panel of suckers on the top of its head that it uses to suck onto the bottom of sharks. I put my hand on its head to feel them and it was rather an odd sensation as it attached itself to my hand. Unfortunately we weren't allowed to keep that one so it had to go back. This set R off though and in no time he had his second catch - a beautiful spangled emperor (see the photo), which he was allowed to keep!
Neither of us managed to catch anything at the next couple of fishing spots, although I did have two proper bites that managed to get away as I (well, with some help from the crew) was pulling them up. We also managed to attract a shark which was chasing after the catches at the back of the boat. One of our companions had a mighty battle with the shark as he tried to pull in a perch that he had caught. In the end, when he finally managed to get it on board, all that was left of the poor perch was its head!
Eventually we reached the final fishing spot of the day. We decided a change of tactic was in order so R moved to the other side of the boat. It seemed to work as R then caught a little spotty fish that was thrown back, a gold spotted sweetlip and then a beautiful coral trout
It took about 90 minutes to get back to shore and there our fish were given to us to take home. We realised that, with the best will in the world, even we couldn't eat 8 fish in the next 2 days so we kept the trout, the snapper and the smaller perch, gave away the rest of them and set off back to the apartment. The crew had gutted the fish for us so all we (well, Richard) had to do was clean the scales off and throw them on the BBQ. We had the trout for dinner that night and the snapper for lunch the next day and they were both delicious. We had to admit defeat with the perch though and reluctantly gave it to the owner of the apartment block we were staying in.
On our last day in Port Douglas we went for a walk along the beach after having a look around the shops in town. The beach is called Four Mile Beach, and for good reason. It is beautiful and stretches on for miles and miles. After our walk, we were ready for dinner at On The Inlet, as we had managed to get a reservation for that night. Continuing in the fish theme we had fabulous scallops, bouillabase, barramundi and "bugs" which are like small crayfish. We also chose the amusingly named "The Ned" wine (although that will only make sense to the Scots reading this) and finished off with a wickedly tasty white chocolate mousse meringue!
And so our time in Port Douglas was up. We had two days left before we flew back to Sydney from Cairns so we spent one of the days up at the Daintree, the rainforest area north of Port Douglas
We are now back in Cairns writing this and tomorrow fly back to Sydney for one last weekend to see the South Africa v Australia rugby match and to see Sanji again (seeing as Nicola has gone back to Scotland!). Then our time in Australia is up as we fly on to New Zealand next Tuesday, where our next update will come from.

CarComplaints.com Notes: We all want our SUVs to be able to stop on a dime, just not randomly and without warning. But that's what was happening to 2005 Pilot owners: their vehicles were slamming on the brakes even when they didn't. A government investigation of this problem led to a recall in March of 2013.
Another issue that keeps popping up is transmission fluid mixing with coolant in the radiator which is causing transmission failure, a costly repair to say the least.

Re: PlayStation Home 1.75 Patch Notes
I like the small club features. Still wonder about about picture frames in personal spaces now. This update is the reason why we could never use frames in clubhouses
| The Club of Champions | Five years & counting | @ClubofChampions
Re: PlayStation Home 1.75 Patch Notes
"PlayStation Plus members will now be able to select custom colors for their hair and make-up."
Now I miss having PS Plus, d'awh!
I think allowing everyone to access these colors would be better, and perhaps allowing PS Plus members to have unique text colors, similar to the PSN Profiles. But, it's not just the color options I want more of.. I want more make-up options in general.
Re: PlayStation Home 1.75 Patch Notes
Although the "save" change doesn't effect me, I still feel for those that used the multiple save thing for personal space layouts & avatars. Alot of what I thought Home was about was being expressive & creative so you could share w/ your friends. But I will say the rest of the update seems to be pretty good especially for us plus members, I always wondered if ps+ would ever actually be Home related (besides x7).
Since Glass' thread won't accept replies I'll put it here,.. Glass notice how many quick kudos you got for both your posts today, see a little info no matter how insignificant lets us know someone is at the helm that actually cares & is involved w/ us. Try that daily & see how fast your approval rating goes up, although there will always be complaints & every post can't be some big reveal I bet you'll see a total turn around in the opinions of the users. Even if it's bad news ppl just want to know they are being heard & not just used as cash cows. Hope to see you start posting daily, like I said no matter how insignificant it may seem to you, any news is better than none at all.
Re: PlayStation Home 1.75 Patch Notes
I guess nobody will ever be satisfied with what Sony does. That is ultimately what it comes down to.
You can disguise this as a big screw up on their part if you want, but I bet 90% of the people complaining about the colour options never cared about it before this was announced. They just heard you can gain more, but only if you pay, and this somehow surprises you?
If we never paid for home we would all be running around in defaults and ad shirts, so why is the concept of PS+ Subscribers getting more surprising? I think it's good that they're getting more, right now there aren't very many benefits to PS+ on Home.
I say this as somebody who has no intention of subscribing to the service by the way.
Oh, but of course, I don't hate Sony, so I must be a "sheep."
Re: PlayStation Home 1.75 Patch Notes
Re: PlayStation Home 1.75 Patch Notes[ Edited ]
Yay to being able to access wardrobe at a friend's place!
Though I'm disappointed nothing was done to improve the management of clothing like being able to create our own folders, label them, and place whatever clothing we want in them instead of just dumping everything into a giant storage. Also disappointed those extra features are only for PS+ subscribers and not also people who've spent a fair amount of $ on Home over the years. I hope there will be an alternative to getting more hair colors and pop up colors without having to be subscribed to PS+. I use Home and play video games on an equal basis, but I can't always maintain a PS+ subscription.
I hate to see the portable camera item go. I actually still found it useful with the gradual zoom effect it had when going into first person perspective, as opposed to the R1 menu camera that zooms in instantly. Made it useful for taking close up shots of my avy, but now that's about to be gone I guess.
What will happen to our regional accounts with update 1.75?[ Edited ]
Re: You will now be able to access your wardrobe while in ano...
Well, this is a potentially decent, if modest update.
The set of 48 character save slots and fancy hair color customization for PS+ members is nice, but not a must-have for me. As it is, Home is more of just a break from the everyday norm and gaming session, so unless Home gets a major revival and additions of truly exciting games and areas, isn't worth spending for PS+ alone (there's too the fact that there's not much benefit for me as a gamer, since I either own or don't like the games that are discounted for PS+ members).
And then there's the little matter of one getting potentially locked back out of the extras once PS+ expires. I mention it since it might be like some of the "free" games on offer while trying out a free PS+ trial; could get the whole game free, but once PS+ expired, couldn't play them anymore. So if you did spend time dressing up and saving to all 48 slots, and you put your best ones past the 48, I assume it might lock them out the moment the PS+ expires. Not that it's a big deal, but does result in more time spent browsing through the old wardrobe in order to complete that particular "look" again.

Back before every magazine was using body paint as a selling point, Playboy was. Try to keep up magazine world...

{"pbembedwidget":"gallery","id":"13668","size":"medium","alignment":"right"}From the March 1968 issue of Playboy comes this week's #PlayboyRetro flashback, the "Brush-On Fashions" pictorial. Photographed by Mario Casilli (whose impressive resume includes 57 Playmate pictorials, including Playmates of the Year Linda Gamble, Christa Speck, Jo Collins, Connie Kreski, Claudia Jennings and Dorothy Stratten), the at the time provocative art of body painting was born out of the West Coast hippie culture sometime in the mid-'60s and had by 1968 made its way across America, from San Fran to Long Island and the East Village's Electric Circus.
Dubbed at the time of publication as Playboy's "fresh twist on the art of body painting: how to tell a bird by her plumage," Casilli sought to showcase the model's "vocation or avocation," be it bird-watcher, teacher or musician, but knew good and well what our readers had come to see: "As with all great art," said Casilli, "the crucial thing in body painting is to envision the beauty beneath the surface."

You can buy a book written by a blogger, you can buy a book made entirely of blog posts, now you can buy a book of your facebook timeline. What kind of story will yours tell? I recently had chance to play with SocialPics, the new photobook from Snapfish. It manages to achieve that Milton Waddams level of being both cool and odd at the same time.
To begin with it's not like a regular photo book, you don't get to choose page count or decoration, there is no hand selecting of pictures. You select whether you want hard or soft cover, determine the time span you want included, and the software pulls in everything covering those dates. It seems to be completely random, giving no preference to friends you interact with most often or friends you accepted and never interacted with again. It does not use any information from any of the Facebook apps, so will not tell you how many games of Words With Friends you are currently playing.
I set my parameters between January 2009 and the current date, to cover my life from the moment I found out I was pregnant with my first son. The program stalled at 87% and when I hit refresh I had to start over, it did not remember any of the information I had put in. The program popped up with a message letting me know that it was still in beta, this means that unlike most photobooks the book cannot be saved and later updated. You either do it in its entirety, in one sitting, or you start all over again.

G'day and Greetings from down under guys. Ive long been perusing the kits and posts and paint jobs and amazing work I see here, and always left feeling a little depressed by the cost involved in this addictive hobby. During this Australian summer I turned my hand to scratchbuilding the ESB EE3 based on a bunch of awesome references from here, and a low budget.
Anyway here's the result for about $50 in total, the scope was $8 off ebay, the greebs are cast in fibreglass resin in playdough moulds (dont tell the kids), the wannabe tyco/molex connectors are modded ones which were probably the most expensive purchase at $4 a piece. The rest is pvc, stainless steel pipe, Bondo (turbo builders bog for the aussies), cheapo rattle can spray paint and watercolours for topical weather detail, rust and matte effects.
Happy new year and happy Australia day to all the Aussie Fett lovers out there.

Original post made by Palo Alto City Librarians, Community Center, on Sep 26, 2006
We invite all Palo Altans to participate in Palo Alto Reads -- Funny in Farsi. Firoozeh Dumas will launch a month of outstanding library programs with her talk at Palo Alto High School's Haymarket Theater on Tuesday, October 10 at 7:30 p.m. To find out more about these programs, go to Web Link
If you have already read the book, please comment. If you haven't, you can place a hold on a copy at the Palo Alto City Library.

I loved the book!!! I had alot of contact with new immigrants and refugees to the bay area in the 70's and 80's as my family hosted many of them from Vietnam and Afganistan. I myself live abroad now in Europe and have experienced living in and adapting to a new culture. It was definately a laugh outloud read. I could relate to the experiences of Firoozeh as they were very similar to those of my new friends and immigrants to California as well as being universal enough to pull hearts strings of mine...as an immigrant.

In 7th grade, under new state Department of Education rules, all California public school students are required to dress up like a Muslim and for one day and pray to Allah. It's part of the curriculum. I think it's great -- and this book helps get the kids into the right mindset!

I trust Carrie is wrong in her post. I have nothing against learning about other religions, dressing in the culture and role playing the lifestyle, but it should be done for all major religions, not just one. And as for praying to the Muslim deity, wow. Whatever happened about banning prayer in public schools. There have been so many arguments about praying at graduation ceremonies, football games, etc. kids saying grace before lunch, and so on and so forth that we cannot sanction something like this. My goodness, we cannot even use the word "Christmas" in school let alone call a spade a spade and call jewish holidays (Holy Days) by their correct name although we do give them off to our students here in Palo Alto.
To truly educate our children, we should be talking about religion in schools. Not that we should endorse any particular religion, but teaching children the fundamentals of what other religions believe must be part of a good broad education. I have heard so much mis information of what others believe here that it astounds me. From all Christians believe in Santa Claus and how Ramadan is a time when Muslims don't eat anything for a whole month, shows that we need to educate, but education must be consistent. We need to get rid of all prejudices by treating all equally, not by treating one group in a special manner. If my child is taught about Muslim tradition, great. Please don't make them learn about one religion alone, teach them the whole spectrum. And, teaching them about a religion is one thing, don't make it a farce by making them "pray" to a deity they don't believe in.

I am not criticising any one particular person, but how can getting students to recite prayers be classed as not participating in a particular religious practice?
This is just a question.

I thought that "Funny in Farsi" was sophmoric and VERY badly written.
a resident of Walter Hays School
on Oct 7, 2006 at 8:07 pm
It's refreshing to see that not everyone is on the bandwagon. I read the book; it is pleasant and amusing and I think the author writes well. But the incredible fuss over this one little book, the enormous hoopla, the library is making so much fuss, you'd think it got the Nobel prize for literature. It is an ordinary, nice book. That's all.

Funny in Farsi is upbeat and humorous in the way it describes the coming to America experience and family life. I wish more people had Ms. Dumas' approach to the challenges we all face.

Palo Alto Reads .... Funny in Farsi kicked off Tuesday night with the appearance of author Firoozeh Dumas at Palo Alto High School. Close to 300 people attended this free event for the public and were charmed by Ms.Dumas' highly entertaining talk.
What the "hoopla" is all about is that Palo Alto is celebrating its first community-wide reads program, an opportunity for people to come together through literature. We're calling it "the largest book club the City has ever seen." The fact that there is an ongoing community discussion about a book IS the point.
Funny in Farsi, as Ms. Dumas told the audience on Tuesday, is about shared humanity. The Palo Alto Reads program is about creating community and building bridges cultural awareness.
Tuesday's program was just the first of a whole month-long series of events. Please check out the schedule at www.cityofpaloalto.org/library.

It's good to have a book like "Funny in Farsi" that is easy enough - stylistically and as far as content is concerned - for teens to read with parents. It introduces some of the complexities of culture and personal identity.
I've started to read "Lipstick Jihad" which is acerbic, political, and frankly, frightening, in what it says about socially repressive societies, and how an individual can make a "home" within its constraints.

This books reminds me of the movie "Bend it like Beckham". Forget the fact that it takes place in England. Forget the fact that it is about soccer. It is about growing up in one culture while living in another and that is something that many relate to in this area. Seeing the movie with my teenage daughter actually taught me something. I started to appreciate that although I value my heritage and want to pass it on to my family, I can't forget that they are being brought up in a culture that is new to me. They do not want to rebel about my culture, but they do want me to accept that as Americans they want to do things that are different to the way that I would like them to do them. For this reason, even this discussion is a good thing, because in the multi cultured area in which we live, acceptance of differences and learning common ground is something we should all aim for.

Disclaimer: I am the author of Funny in Farsi. In particular to "Susie from another community" who really, really does not like the book and does not understand why anybody in their right mind would select this book, here's one view: I have been traveling for the past three years in the US and almost everywhere I have gone, I have encountered people who equate Middle East with terrorism. Their exposure to that part of the world is limited to what they see on the evening news. For many of them, reading my book humanizes a group of people who many see only as potential hostage takers. And it sparks discussions. Hurray for freedom of speech! And believe it or not, many people actually do like the book, including Khaled Hosseini, author of the Kite Runner. Nobody claimed that my book has won the Noble Prize., Rest assured, however, I have my speech ready. -Firoozeh Dumas

One reason the book was selected was because of the charming author that actually lives in our community! Thank you, Firoozeh, for sharing your book, life and time with the citizens of Palo Alto!
Funny in Farsi has contributed to discussions about what it is to be a stranger in a strange land. We could all take lessons on how to adapt and how difficult it can be. And keep smiling as we do it.

Absolutely enjoying the book. I savor each chapter and anxiously await the next one. GREAT choice.
a resident of Professorville

"The Swallows of Kabul" is a great book, beautifully
written and also very haunting, if you are looking for
what I'd call a more "literary" book. Also, see Monica
Ali's "Brick Lane" about the Bangladeshi community in
England. Both highly recommended.
But I also liked "Funny in Farsi", partly because it's
light hearted and she does (in a "simple" way - I don't
agree with "sophomoric" way) paint a picture of the nice,
plain side of America. I think it's a side of America
it's good to remember - remember that it's still here.
I would also recommend "Funny in Farsi". I sent it to
my mother. And my sister in upstate NY is starting up
a book club to read "Funny in Farsi".

Courtroom heats up as two sides disagree over accused shooter's innocence
COLUMBIA, Mo. - The courtroom was heated Wednesday as the man accused of pulling the trigger in the downtown shooting on Tenth Street and Broadway appeared before a judge.
The hearing was supposed to be a bond reduction hearing, but Eric Cravens' lawyer, Jennifer Bukowsky, brought evidence that she says will prove his innocence.
The evidence included dozens of pages of witness interviews, surveillance video, and even leads on who the real shooters are.
She also requested for Cravens to get a day out of jail next week for the birth of his first child.
But Boone County prosecuting attorney Tracy Gonzalez says she has enough evidence on Cravens to keep him behind bars, and she also opposes the furlough for the day release.
Cravens' mother still maintains his innocence and hopes he will be released soon, at least for the birth of his daughter.
"This is his first child, he doesn't even deserve to be in there period," Teresa Smith said. "He needs to be out here where he belongs."
Cravens will be back in court on Sept. 11, when witnesses will appear for both prosecution and defense.

The facts, how refreshing.
I saw this while I was reading up on the Seattle shooting on The Blaze and realized it was something that really needed to be disseminated. It certainly seems to take the sails out of all the gun control advocates who say that concealed carry never saves anyone or stops violent crime.
In my mind, this is a must read for all gun owners and I would really like it if we could get the gun grabbers to read it too.
Take a look and what do you guys think?
November 2012 Defensive Gun Use Report
The numbers in that article are horribly inaccurate. In fact, they are way too low. Criminologist Gary Kleck analyzed National Crime Victimization Survey data and found that in the 1990s guns were used about 2.5 million times annually for self-defense. That's about 6,850 times a day. The number of self defense stories involving guns that get reported on in various media outlets is a joke.
I agree that the media's output is extremely low and that's why I signed up over there and started paying more attention locally to hear of stories I could send to them.
I will say Kleck's numbers were shaky when he did the study (his methodology leaves a lot to be desired) and that was at the peak of the crime wave (mid 80's to early 90's). There was a great Duke research paper about how easy it was for the number to be drastically off with his methodology.
I would guess that his numbers are somewhere around half of what the studies showed. Then you have to realize that many of the stories he considered DGU's would never make the media anyway (i.e. gun drawn and displayed, bad guy leaves, no law enforcement call is made). We'll never get a fair shake in the news but we can cover as many stories as possible.
If you hear of any or see any why not check to see if they have it posted and if they don't have it up send them the details.
That's all I'm doing unless I decide I'm a famous writer and want to post the stories myself.
Even if Kleck's numbers were double the actual numbers that is still 1,250,000 times a year people defended themselves with guns. And even if the current crime rate cuts those numbers in half it's still well north of 1/2 a million times a year people defend themselves with guns. The numbers are still much higher than most realize or the media will admit.

Serves 8
Prep Time 45 min
Total Time 135 min.
Step 1
To make a bouquet garni, tie together parsley sprigs, rosemary and bay leaves with kitchen twine, or place in a cheesecloth bag; set aside.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 325°F. Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a large ovenproof pot or Dutch oven over high heat. Add half of the veal and brown well on all sides, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels and repeat with another 1 1/2 teaspoons oil and the remaining veal. Set aside.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to low, add pancetta (or ham or bacon) and cook, stirring, until it begins to brown. Add carrots and cook, stirring, until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add chopped onion and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add garlic and flour and stir for 30 seconds. Pour in wine, scraping the solids from the bottom of the pot. Add tomatoes, broth (or water), the browned veal and the bouquet garni. Bring the stew to a simmer, cover the pot and transfer to the oven. Bake the stew, stirring occasionally, until the veal is tender when pierced with a fork, about 1 1/2 hours.
Step 4
Meanwhile, if using fresh pearl onions, bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add the onions (unpeeled) and cook for 3 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. When they are cool enough to handle, trim the ends and peel off the papery skins. (If using frozen pearl onions, thaw under cool running water and pat dry.)
Step 5
Heat the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pearl onions and sauté until golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the onions to a bowl and return the pan to the heat. Add mushrooms and sauté until they begin to exude some liquid, 4 to 6 minutes.
Step 6
Stir the pearl onions and mushrooms into the stew during the last 10 minutes of cooking. Just before serving, remove the bouquet garni and stir in chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper.

Offering Mobile Interactive Security Services Helps Meet Customer Demands
Given our propensity for smartphones and interactive technology, the more savvy alarm dealers are gearing their offerings toward this trend. More than ever manufacturers and third-party vendors are really coming up to speed with mostly IP-based, interactive security systems and devices.
By Mark Matlock · June 26, 2011
I can't imagine getting through a day without my smartphone. It is amazing all the applications and interactive services that are available to the smartphone user. It's like having the whole world in the palm of your hand.
We manage our lives through technology and we like our information instantly and on demand. We don't want to interface with people as much because modern technology delivers the information we need more quickly and efficiently. For better or worse, this is the new world order.
Given our propensity for smartphones and interactive technology, the more savvy alarm dealers are gearing their offerings toward this trend. More than ever manufacturers and third-party vendors are really coming up to speed with mostly IP-based, interactive security systems and devices. Most of these technologies include iPhone and Android apps that make their service even more accessible to end users.
With most interactive security services today, end users can arm and disarm their systems remotely and they can be instantly notified of alarms as well as openings and closings. Many also include a video interface; some even have home automation and energy management controls. It is apparent that end users are willing to pay an additional monthly fee for the perceived value for such services.
Meeting Customer Expectations
I happen to be in the wholesale monitoring business, but if I were in retail installation I would make interactivity part of my offering on every alarm system. The value proposition is very unique and compelling. It's a great differentiator and it establishes in a customer's mind that the purveyor of the service has technological competency.
The days of selling "static, blind" security systems are coming to an end. Technology from 1985 just isn't going to fly in the near future. The traditional alarm industry landscape is fast evolving and it is imperative for alarm dealers to change accordingly.
It is also advantageous to alarm dealers that most of these systems transmit over IP and many have cellular back up units on board. As everyone is aware, Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) is going away and it is nowhere near as reliable as it was just 10 years ago. In any case, now is the time for alarm dealers to shop for their favorite interactive security service and to promote this service to all existing customers and new prospects.
The average alarm system user seldom activates an alarm and seldom deals with the central station or the alarm company. This disconnect can lead to customers cancelling monitoring because they just don't have a sense of value related to their security system and their alarm company. But with an interactive system, the customer is engaged and they regularly interact with their alarm system.
The real sizzle comes when they show the features off to their friends and family. The feature sets are compelling and once others see them, they are likely to think that an interactive system is more desirable. In essence, your own customers can become your most effective salespeople!
So alarm dealers, go boldly into the 21st century and start offering interactive security. Your company will likely see better customer retention and you will increase your recurring monthly revenue (RMR).
