"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" Ronald Reagan
That is sort of a sticking point with me....... I despise conversions that involve cutting slots or welding tabs or otherwise fiddeling with things to make it work.....that is why I hate Olympic pistol uppers....not because thay are faulty......they're actually pretty well made...but having to weld blocks onto mags to make 'em fit.....it's just kinda cheesy......
At the moment I'm exploring a gas 9mm as well with sten mags.......I also have an idea for a blowback that will not need the olympic or colt style ejectors......
and also on the list is a 40 S&W/10MM that uses HK MP5-40 mags.....it'll require a custom upper and lower.....but it will hopefully use the standard mag release location....and have last round bolt hold open.......eventually I want to make a mag for an unmodified lower to work with my gas designs....but don't hold your breath...I suck at sheetmetal......LOL
That looks great! I've been gathering things for a 9mm gas ar15 also. I still need the 5.45x39 bolt, but I have everything else. I have sten mags but was considering using uzi mags. Keep up the good work and keep us posted on the 9mm.
Actually a 5.45 bolt is a little big.......for the tok builds I use a 5.56 bolt and open it up.....and it works great. That is what I'm doing for the 9MM as well.
Huh, I wouldn't of thought the extra .002" difference in the 5.45x39 rim diameter and the 9mm would make a difference for the 9mm build. The 5.56 bolts are cheaper though and easy enough to open up on the lathe. Thanks for saving me a few bucks! Did you have to alter the extractor at all for the larger 7.62x25 case?
LOL...I swear the last time I looked it up the 5.45 bolt was like .020 or better larger than the 9mm head, guess I'm loosing my memory...........as far as the tokarev...no mods to the extractor.......I did have to round the corners on the .45 ACP.....but I also start with a .450 bushmaster bolt....

Winter Residential Heating Oil Prices
Source: Energy Information Administration
Previous slide
Next slide
Back to first slide
View graphic version
Residential heating oil prices reflect a similar pattern to that shown in spot prices. However, like other retail petroleum prices, they tend to lag changes in wholesale prices in both directions, with the result that they don't rise as rapidly or as much, but they take longer to recede.
This chart shows the residential heating oil prices collected under the State Heating Oil and Propane Program (SHOPP), which only runs during the heating season, from October through March.
The spike in New York Harbor spot prices last winter carried through to residential prices throughout New England and the Central Atlantic states. Though the spike actually lasted only a few weeks, residential prices ended the heating season well above where they had started.
Even so, as crude oil and spot product prices moved upward over the summer, residential prices started out the current heating season even higher than where they left off in the spring.

Canon EOS 100D / Rebel SL1 / Kiss X7 review: Diminutive sizeBy Kevin Carter - Wednesday June 12 2013 Sensor Review
Canon's lightest and smallest DSLR to date the EOS 100D (aka Rebel SL1 / Kiss X7) is unashamedly aimed at the entry-level market. However, boasting a 2nd-generation 'Hybrid' 18-Mpix CMOS sensor and many features of the upper entry-level EOS 700D, this minuscule model is an intriguing proposition. But is it simply a case of cramming in a similar sensor and miniaturizing the rest? Read on to find out. In this review we also reveal the results of the Sony SLT Alpha 37 sensor.
Designed to appeal those that might be tempted by the diminutive dimensions of mirrorless models but want the benefits of an optical viewfinder, measuring just 116.8 x 90.7 x 69.4mm and weighing 407g with battery and SD card, the Canon EOS 100D / Rebel SL1 / Kiss X7 is both seriously small and light in weight. On the inside, the camera sports a second-generation 'Hybrid" 18-Mpix CMOS AF II sensor featuring both Phase/Contrast detection AF, but with a wider detection area than the similar sensor found in upper entry-level EOS 700D, introduced at the same time.

Home › Forums › Campfire › Post-Trip Reports › SHT Trip Report – June 2010
Jul 23, 2010 at 9:09 am #1261505
The plan was to backpack north from Castle Danger on the Superior Hiking Trail (SHT), covering 40 miles over four days. We would stop the first night at East Gooseberry Campsite. The second day was to be a 12 mile hike to Southeast Split Rock River Campsite and the third day 14 miles to Beaver River. The last day we would take a loop towards Bean Lake and then double back to the Silver Bay parking area to catch the afternoon shuttle back to our car. Little went as planned.
This was our first trip on the SHT. We have been on a few outings in Wisconsin and Michigan and we had certain expectations of the SHT. Some of our expectations were met, others exceeded and others were left unfulfilled.
What We Liked
• The Trail: Well marked and maintained trails. We were rarely confused as to what direction to go. Thank you to the trail crews for all of your efforts. Your efforts were noticeable.
• The Flexibility: The trail and shuttle system allowed us the option to shorten or lengthen our trip. My son was worried about being able to handle the distance. We discussed several options to shorten our trip.
• The Views: Flowers, vistas, valleys, waterfalls. Two hard working beavers. The flash of a deer running away from the river that we crossed. The flowers. I lost count at 20 unique types
What We Did Not Like
• The Noise: Throughout our journey there were semi-regular to regular sounds of semi-trucks, police sirens, airplanes, and other people "enjoying" nature. This was very disappointing as we were leaving the city to try to escape all of the noise. Alas, there were only a few spots on this section of the SHT that we did not hear man-made noises.
• The Views: We saw a lot more garbage on the trail than expected. Mostly wipes, toilet paper, and tissue. I tied a newspaper bag to the back of my backpack for easy access to collect garbage, but it was not big enough. On my next trip, I will bring an extra bag next time to handle all of the garbage.
Lessons Learned
• Hike North to South: We hiked South to North this trip, caught the 3pm shuttle to our car, and arrived home late at night. Hiking North to South would allow us to pick up the morning north-bound shuttle to our car and then drive home to arrive at a reasonable hour.
• Be Flexible: We planned to use a tarp, but at the last minute I got nervous that the mosquito population would carry us away, so I left tarp and packed the REI Quarter Dome T2 Tent. We enjoyed having a bug-free environment to escape to and my total pack weight didn't suffer too much. The tent bumped the weight up four pounds to 17 pounds.
How did it end? We reviewed the plan on the first night at Gooseberry Falls. My son was concerned that he would not be able to walk the 14 miles planned for Day Three (he previously walked 20 miles in a day, but the climbs and descents of the SHT make hiking a bit more challenging). We discussed several options to shorten the trip or to catch the shuttle early. Once the artificial constraints were removed he relaxed and enjoyed the trip. He led us past Gooseberry Falls and Split Rock River to camp our second night at Chapins Ridge Campsite. He was concerned he wouldn't be able to hike 14 miles, but instead surprised himself and hiked 18 miles. On our third and last day, we hiked 12 miles past Beaver River to the Silver Bay parking lot. After 36 miles in three days we both had plenty of energy. He even did a little jig while waiting for the shuttle.
We agreed that this was our best trip to date and cannot wait until our next SHT adventure next year.Jul 23, 2010 at 9:24 am #1631703

Thanks for the well-rounded trip report. I like how you listed what you liked and what you didn't. And although you experienced some bad aspects of the SHT I'm stoked to hear you're going back again next year.
The area around Silver Bay is the busiest, noisiest, and dirtiest section of the trail. It's the one part of the SHT that I didn't want to hike more than once as it has the least "wilderness" feel to it.
– SamJul 23, 2010 at 9:33 am #1631705
Thanks for the kind note. A number of people that we met on the trail recommended the sections around Grand Marais. I will look at that for next year.
We are definitely going back to the SHT.

Great to see what a nice guy from the midwest can pass along to another generation after just a weekend in Montana!!! Good judgement, too! since we did not have mosquitos to deal with in September. Felt I needed remedial work so I'll be in Wyoming in a couple of weeks for a refresher 5-6 days…then on to Glacier with my wife!

Wow! We almost have the whole crew here. Maybe we could have a reunion.
Nice to hear your trip went well mike!
Shana and I are headed to Glacier in August, Smokies in December and Olympic in 2011.
RicJul 23, 2010 at 11:12 am #1631746
Frank and Ric,
Great to hear from both you.
Frank, I considered going to the longer BPL course this year, but I wanted to work a bit more on my own first. Maybe next year. We are going to Rocky Mountain National Park in early August. Should be fun.
Ric, as always, you are packing a lot of trips in a short period of time. Great experiences all around. I saw your pics from the Smokies. Loved them.

Reviews of this property
Great apartment, well enough room for 6 people (3 rooms with a double-bed each), fully equipped kitchen, very clean, no street noise whatsoever, and a very central location.
With the key pick-up, you receive detailed Prague maps, with the nearest supermarkets, tram and metro stations and restaurant and bar tips.
We were all super-happy with the apartment and would definitely book it again.
The flat was very clean, modern and comfortable - we loved the building itself as well. It was walking distance from all of the main sites and our party went everywhere on foot. The hosts were responsive and everything went smoothly -we all had a lovely time in Prague.
awesome apartment, great location and very friendly owner!
we were 10 girls and it was enough space for us.
Great apartment, very close to the center, yet quiet. By all center location within walking distance!
Can I recommend. Ideal for 6 people, as 3 separate rooms available with double bed. More than 6 people it should not be, because otherwise it will be at the dinner table or in the bathroom too tight.
Tolle Wohnung, sehr nahe am Zentrum und trotzdem ruhig. Durch die Zentrums-lage alles zu Fuß erreichbar!
Kann ich weiter empfehlen. Optimal für 6 Personen, da 3 getrennte Zimmer mit Doppelbett vorhanden. Mehr als 6 Personen sollten es aber nicht sein, denn sonst wird es am Eßtisch oder im Bad zu eng.
Wonderful experience. Along with another couple stayed in this apartment that was above our expectations. Clean, modern, spacious and with all the necessary comforts. At the center of Prague, you never took a bus or metro to move, very close ... Several shops where you can buy from food to souvenirs. Wonderful welcome. Certainly recommended to those who ask me where I stayed in Prague. Thanks again Olga.
Esperienza meravigliosa. Insieme ad un altra coppia abbiamo alloggiato in questo appartamento che è risultato sopra le nostre aspettative. Pulito, moderno, spazioso e con tutti i confort necessari. Al centro di Praga, mai preso un autobus o una metro per spostarci, tutto vicino... Parecchi negozi dove poter comprare dal cibo ai souvenir. Accoglienza meravigliosa. Sicuramente da consigliare a chi mi chiederà dove ho alloggiato a Praga. Grazie ancora Olga.
Great. A perfect stay. The apartment was spacious, modern and comfortable. I take a great feeling after my stay in Prague.
Genial. Una estancia perfecta. El apartamento era espacioso, moderno y confortable. Me llevo una gran sensación tras mi estancia en Praga.
Great stay lovely apartment within walking distance of everything found managers to be very friendly and of great help would highly recom
Positives: Nice big apartment, clean, well insulated against street noise windows, large bedrooms (for up to 10 people). Great location. Very good information and nice (paid) pick-up service.
Negatives: bathroom for us (4 people) well suited, but too small for more than 4 people. Kitchen for 4 people well for cooking but inadequate facilities, also only for up to 6 people enough dishes.
Conclusion: for 4 to 6 people maximum a super apartment which is highly recommended. More than 6 people have to live very limited in this apartment.
Positiv: Schöne, große Wohnung, sauber, Fenster gut gegen Straßengeräusche isoliert, Schlafzimmer groß (auch für bis zu 10 Personen). Super Lage. Sehr gute Informationen und netter (kostenpflichtiger) Abholservice.
Negativ: Badezimmer für uns (4 Personen) gut geeignet, aber für mehr als 4 Personen zu klein. Küche für 4 Personen gut, zum Kochen aber unzureichende Ausstattung, zudem nur für bis zu 6 Personen ausreichend Geschirr.
Fazit: Für 4 bis maximal 6 Personen eine super Wohnung, die sehr empfehlenswert ist. Mehr als 6 Personen müssen in dieser Wohnung sehr eingeschränkt leben.

Reinhard was really kind and informative about things to know in the apartment and the area. Very helpful and easy to contact! The only minor thing is that I didn't know how to heat up the water in the shower, but that's probably just me! Overall great experience and great views from the balcony!
This is our third visit to Reinhard's apartment, which is a reflection of how much we love the place! It is perfectly situated, quirky and very Parisian. Reinhard is a great host and the Tabac on the street below the apartment is a great place to sit and watch the world go by. We hope to return next year. Thanks Reinhard!
Reinhard went above and beyond to make us comfortable. He travelled to personally greet us, while carrying our bags up the stairs (1 flight before the elevator). Reinhard showed us where we were on a map that he even let us keep. He recommended places to go that were cost efficient as well. My guess is that Reinhard is interested in religion, writing and philosophy, as his apartment is very eccentric with some occult imagery as well as a wide variety of philosophy books. Overall, the location and stay were wonderful. Walking distance to Eiffel Tower & Luxembourg gardens - very close to 10 & 13 trains! Thank you Reinhard!
We had a wonderful 7 nights in Reinhards unique apartment in Paris.
The position is fantastic, close to lots of wonderful cafes,shops and bakeries and of course the Paris metro.
Peter stayed late to meet us when we got lost and told us lots of useful information.
We would not hesitate to stay here again if the chance arises.
Cheers Kim and Julain
The location is excellent. In the center of Montparnasse with the metro at just a few meters away. The appartment is small, but good. The kitchen is enough equipped to make your own dinner and breakfast. Get the baquette at the backery down the street at just 20 meters from the front door. But there are also enough small restaurants in the neighbourhood where you can eat at an affordable price. Reinhard will tell you where to go! The collection of nude art on the walls could offend people, so beware. All in all a great place to stay.
Reinhard is a fabulous host. He shared so many useful and great tips with us that really made our first trip to Paris just an amazing time. The apartment has its own charm, which you either love or hate. For us - we really enjoyed it - because it is really making you feel much more you visit Paris than any Hotel you might choose for. All together it was a fantastic weekend. Thank you Reinhard - we will come again !
Had such a lovely stay at Reinhard's apartment. Very uniquely decorated and quirky - felt like we'd stepped back in time every time we came home. Reinhard wasca perfect host, even sorting us out with a glass of bubbly on arrival and the one hiccup with the lift was resolved very promptly to our satisfaction. It's perfect for the price, don't expect 5 star luxury - but if you want something special that you're never going to find anywhere else this is the place. And if you don't have a indepth knowledge of human anatomy before you go, you will then you leave!! :)
We really enjoyed our stay at the studio. Our host prepared everything in advance and took his time to explain us how we could make use of the stuff inside. He even provided us with really valuable information about what to see in Paris (his piece of advice was worth following!) Definitelly, we can´t complain about the treatment we received from him. Besides, the studio was fairly clean and ready at the moment of our arrival. Just to mention something that could be improved, it was a bit cold at night. Anyway, we loved how it felt to come into the place back after a long walking day :)
The apartment is excellent, a bit quirky with a big balcony with a great view. Reinhard was great, knows a lot about the area and happy to help with some good places to visit. Would definitely stay here again
Great appartment with a very impressive esoteric book collection.
Great guy, who helped us out when things went astray. His appartment is something else. Beautiful art on the wall, special book collection, very authentic feel. If you can't appreciate nudity stay away. Overview over Montparnasse Tower, Eiifel Tower and roofs of Montparnasse stunning. Within 10 min. in subway from all major sights in Paris.

In his look-ahead column to 2013, The Gazette's Dave Stubbs notes that next June 11 will mark the 20-year anniversary of the Canadiens' most recent Stanley Cup parade.
Writes Stubbs: "It's a remarkable span when you consider that the franchise won 24 Stanley Cups in its first 83 years of existence — an average of one every 3½ years — and then none in the past two decades."
Stubbs adds: "An entire generation of Canadiens fans has not seen this team win a championship, bringing into sharp relief the words of legendary captain Jean Béliveau in his 1994 autobiography, My Life In Hockey. Following an unprecedented run of five consecutive Stanley Cups from 1956-60, the Habs went without a title from 1961-64 before beating Chicago in '65 for their 13th Cup."
"'The Forum fans were Cup-starved," Béliveau wrote, "and showed their desire to end our four-year drought …"
Writes Stubbs: "The NHL of yore was not that of today's 30-club league, but if four years in Béliveau's day constituted a drought, 20 years would be …?"
You can read Stubbs's column by clicking here.
Gazette sports editor Stu Cowan recently spoke with Jacques Demers, the coach who led the Canadiens to their last Stanley Cup.
"Because it's the Montreal Canadiens … the tradition and all the Stanley Cups they won … never in my wildest dreams would I think the Montreal Canadiens would go 20 years without winning a Cup," Demers said over the phone from his Florida condo, where he is spending the holidays. "In '86 and then '93, seven years, which is certainly not bad, but 20 years without winning the Cup with the prestigious tradition of that franchise … I never would have thought that."
You can read Cowan's column, with Demers looking back on that championship team and speaking about the current squad, by clicking here.
The Gazette's Pat Hickey says he has grown tired of people asking him: "Do you think there will be NHL hockey this season?"
Writes Hickey: "The only answer I can give is to say I thought the game should have been back on the ice a long time ago. As the lockout continues into the new year, my optimism is waning. What I can say with certainty is that the lockout — the third since 1994 — has done irreparable harm to the business of hockey."
You can read Hickey's column looking ahead to 2013 by clicking here.
On Friday, The Canadian Press reported that the NHL made a serious bid to save the season, softening its demands in key areas of collective bargaining with a new proposal to the NHLPA on Thursday night. The offer included compliance buyouts and less restrictive rules on player contracts, according to sources.
A source told The Canadian Press that the deal is contingent on the NHLPA signing off by Jan. 11. Training camps would then open the next day and the season would start Jan. 19.
Read more by clicking here.
Habs alternate NHLPA rep Erik Cole commented via text message to The Gazette's Stubbs on Friday's developments:
"I still feel as I've felt all along," Cole wrote. "They have a date in mind or alternate startup dates. And finally we are at their last one.
"I don't think the owner's commissioner is foolish enough to cancel another season, but he's done it before so you have to expect that he's willing to do it again. But hopefully they are now serious to make a fair deal.
"My answer is yes, there will be hockey if the NHL is willing to, which they haven't so far, negotiate a serious offer in the next week or so.
"As for their (latest) offer to us: It's a lot of information to get through – 300 pages will take longer than a day to read through and understand all aspects of it. After we do that, we will get back to them in hopes of reaching an agreement."

text: Day 10: Harvest is about 75 percent complete in the Salina area, where KAWG director Justin Knopf says this has been one of the best wheat crops he has seen. Yields range from 60 to 70 bushels per acre, with 62 pound test weights the norm. Protein averages about 10.5. A thunderstorm the last week of June did cause some lodging, but all in all Knopf is very pleased with the 2013 harvest.

Hi everybody. My son and I made a Jango Fett costume for him when he was about 10 years old for Halloween. Since then, we've re-done it a couple times to keep up with him growing. Now that he's 18, we're working on getting it up to standards for him to join the 501st. This site is invaluable for the resources and advice! In the past two days, we've already been able to get several items and great advice on how to reach the goal! Looking forward to being a part of the community here and getting to know as many of you as we can!
Once this project is completed, I'm hoping to get the girlfriend into a Zam costume, so we're all planning on being around for a long time!

Digital, HD and 4K TV FAQ
This section is specific to the regular TV equipmentChange to TiVo Service equipment Not sure of the equipment you have
What are the advantages of High-Definition TV (HDTV)?
A high-definition (HD) signal enhances both the picture and the sound of programs so that they are crisper and more detailed than ever before.
Clarity: HD image resolution is more than five times what was previously available. This means that there are more pixels of colour, providing a wider range of hues and a never-before-seen level of fine detail.
Widescreen: HDTV is shown in a 16:9 ratio as opposed to the 4:3 ratio of older TVs. This gives you a more dynamic view, like that of a movie-theatre screen, and lets you see what was cut off the edges when movies were modified to fit the narrower ratio.
Sound: HDTV programming is able to provide Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound so that it sounds like the action is happening all around you.

Dozens of small fires doused after 6,500 lightning strikes
All kept small, but more being found; call 911, officials say
BEND, Ore. - Central Oregon fire crews have responded to about 70 smoke reports since thunderstorms raked the region with about 6,500 lightning strikes Sunday, finding most to be very small and quickly extinguished, officials said.
Firefighters are still responding to all the reports, the Central Oregon Interagency Dispatch Center said. In general, they have been single-tree lightning strikes and have burned less than a half-acre.
"Most, but not all reports have turned out to actually be fires," a Monday evening update said, "but everyone is encouraged to report any suspected fire."
Calling 911 is still "the fastest and surest way to report any emergency, including suspected fires," the dispatch center said. "When reporting a fire, please be as specific as possible with information on exactly where the fire is and what is the situation.
The string of intense thunderstorms roared through the High Desert Sunday afternoon, raking the area with thousands of lightning strikes, hail, heavy rain and wind, toppling trees, damaging crops, igniting fires, knocking out power for thousands -- and killing a motorcyclist who took shelter under a tree struck by lightning.
Lightning detectors picked up more than 6,500 lighting strikes across Central Oregon in just three hours, between 2 and 5 p.m. Sunday, according to Dennis Benson at the Central Oregon Interagency Dispatch Center in Prineville.
One of those bolts was deadly, as it struck a tree under which a motorcyclist and his wife had taken cover northeast of Madras. Jefferson County Sheriff Jim Adkins said the man hit by the lightning was killed and his wife injured. Details in separate story here.
Initial-attack crews responded to more than 40 smoke reports between 2 p.m. and nightfall Sunday, with several of the new starts between Bend and Redmond, Benson said. Fortunately, the accompanying rain, high humidity and low temperatures helped reduce fire behavior, he added.
One positive aspect: These were anything but the worst-feared dry lightning storms. Redmond Airport, for example, recorded .84 of an inch of rain in the 24 hours ending at 5 p.m. -- shattering the old Aug. 25 record of .34 of an inch, set in 1977.
Other rainfall totals reported Monday included .93 of an inch in Redmond, 1.10 inches at Pelton Dam -- one inch over the old record for the day -- and a half-inch to an inch in the Madras area. A record also was broken in Sisters, where nearly a third of an inch fell, clipping an old record of .28 of an inch for the day, set back in 1979.
The National Weather Service issued a string of severe thunderstorm warnings for areas of Deschutes and Jefferson counties over a period of several hours Sunday as the worst of the storms moved north.
An apparently weather-related injury multi-vehicle crash occurred in the late afternoon and blocked Highway 97 north of Madras, near milepost 79 (south of the 97-197 junction). (Details in separate story here.)
Witness Dina Broome Springstun said on NewsChannel 21's Facebook page that she "just witnessed a horrible accident," involving four-plus cars/trucks, amid "heavy rain and a ton of water, rocks and debris in the road."
For a time, Deschutes and Crook County medics were called in to assist as Life Flight reportedly was grounded due to the intense thunderstorms. But dispatchers later reported the out-of-county assist on the crash would not be needed, and an AirLink helicopter was sent to St. Charles-Bend.
Hundreds of those lightning strikes came from just one thunderstorm cell in the Madras area, but "this moisture we did get really helped out" in keeping things from being worse, Benson said.
Smokejumpers and engine crews already had been busy this weekend, as they have for weeks, chasing down numerous smoke reports and dousing small fires before they get bigger. Most come from lightning - but unfortunately, people leaving unattended illegal campfires in the woods also comprise a portion of the blazes.
Pacific Power said nearly 4,300 customers in Culver, Madras and Crooked River Ranch lost power around 1:20 p.m. and said then that it could take until 4:30 p.m. to get them back online. But about 2,500 still had power out by then, however, and they had their power restored by about 7:25 p.m.
Powell Butte resident Jeannine Erhart wrote comments typical of many in the region:
"The wind swept through so fast and so hard! It split our large maple tree down the center, blew over our dog kennel that hit the Noble paneling in the corral and stopped going, blew the fruit off our large pear tree, took branches off a large poplar. My neighbor was not so lucky. It blew part of her roofing away. Very, very strong winds, then the hard rain. Lived here 14 years and never saw anything like this."
Northwest Redmond resident Alan Fresh said trees snapped off in the yard and there was some serious flooding: "It has been a few years since I've seen anything like this!"
By early afternoon, very heavy rain caused some street flooding in Madras, overwhelming storm drains and dislodging manhole covers.
Northeast of Madras, an NWS spotter said winds estimated at 70-80 mph damaged several irrigation wheel lines and dropped quarter-sized hail. Another spotter -- and off-duty NWS worker -- reported hail one inch in size just southeast of Madras.
One of those irrigation lines apparently was blown onto Highway 26 north of Madras, and a similar incident was reported later in the afternoon - one of dozens that had police and fire crews scrambling for several hours.
A Jefferson County Fire District duty officer's SUV sustained major front-end damage, but there were no injuries when a motorist failed to yield to his lights and sirens and the two vehicles collided, said Fire Chief Brian Huff.
Huff also reported a hailstorm caused "major, major" crop damage in the Agency Plains area, north of Madras.
"It's been an interesting day," he told NewsChannel 21 during a brief pause amid a late-afternoon downpour.
Golf ball-sized hail (nearly 2 inches in diameter) broke windows and damaged playground equipment at a home on the north side of Madras, a weather spotter said.
Tammie Schongalla was returning to Madras with a friend from a trip to Lewiston, Idaho Sunday afternoon when they saw and took photos of an ominous storm up ahead on Highway 97 north of Madras -- then encountered it.
"We were pulled over on the side of the road with all of the other traffic, waiting for it to pass and praying," she wrote, calling it "one of the scariest experiences of my life."
Redmond police urged residents by Twitter to avoid travel if possible due to localized flooding in areas around the city.
Eagle Crest Resort apparently lost power, possibly when lightning struck a tree, seting it ablaze south of Highway 126.
At Lake Billy Chinook, a Cove Palisades State Park ranger said the park lost power and phones in a lightning strike from the first of several storms that caused severe flooding and several landslides and mudslides that blocked roads.
He said Jefferson County sheriff's deputies responded to help park staff who used a large backhoe and tractor after two slides near each other created a temporary blockage, including large boulders, rocks, mud and other debris.
Park volunteers spent hours shoveling mud, rocks and debris from the only restroom/shower in the Deschutes Campground that will work with power out, but which was flooded twice by heavy rainfall, leaving at least 6-8 inches of solid mud behind.
Another NWS spotter northeast of Redmond in Crook County reported hail three-quarters of an inch in diameter; so did a spotter northeast of Terrebonne in Jefferson County.
An attic fire from an apparent lightning strike was reported at a home at 3240 SW Quartz Place in Redmond; all inside were out before crews arrived to put out the blaze.
Some areas around Madras had lakes of standing water, while there were reports of a possibly flipped plane at Madras Airport, one day after the Airshow of the Cascades concluded, and damage to a grain silo, trees down and broken windows in Gateway, northeast of Madras.
The lights went off along Hwy. 97 in Redmond, at least briefly, after a power pole was struck, one of many lighting strikes on trees across the region tackled by fire crews. Another hit a juniper tree on Hwy. 20 about 20 miles east of Bend, and another reportedly blew a transformer on Dodds Road, east of Bend.
Heavy rain and 1 25-inch diameter hail covered the ground northwest of Prineville, near the intersection of Highway 26 and Lone Pine Road. Heavy rain and quarter-sized hail also hit the Tumalo area.
Two trees fell and blocked a road near Wickiup Reservoir, among the many toppled trees reported in the region -- one that reportedly fell on a horse near Big Timber Drive in La Pine.
A 70-foot-tall tree was reported ablaze not far from Alfalfa Market Road east of Bend. The area had periods of time in the early afternoon when thunder rumbled almost continuously for several minutes.
There was a sunny break for an hour or so on Bend's north end before skies darkened and heavy rain and hail began pelting the area around 2:30 p.m.

I recently ordered some new hives from Dadant Fresno. I picked them up, and verified that all the boxes were present before leaving.
While assembling the tops at home, I discovered that 2 of the 3 tops had wrong parts inside the sealed boxes. Apparently the kits were
"pulled" incorrectly at the factory.
Anyway, a civil phone call, 5 minutes long, and 36 hours later I had two replacement components delivered to my door. Two thumbs up
for the Dadant team in Fresno, California.
Lots of companies are good when everything works right, but only good companies are there for you when something goes wrong.

Let's just say, Ancestry.com is AWESOME. Through their newspaper archive, I was able to search for articles about Thomas Kaylor. I searched in the Fresno area and found this little gem from January, 1966. This was just about 2 months after the accident. Another question answered!
From the Fresno Bee Rupublican, January 9, 1966:
Hanford, Kings Co.- Thomas Leon Kaylor, 23, of Hanford, has been held for Superior Court trial on four felony manslaughter counts following his arraignment in the Avenal Justice Court.
Kaylor is charged with the deaths of four persons in the head-on traffic crash Nov. 6 on the Avenal Cutoff in the Kettleman Hills east of Avenal.
Gerald Kline, 24, a Lemoore Naval Air Station sailor; his wife, Linda; and their 13-month-old daughter, Robbin, were killed instantly. James Hamilton, 22, who was riding in Kaylor's car, died several hours later in a Fresno hospital.
Kaylor suffered serious injuries, as did three other persons. He is accused of driving on the wrong side of the road and of being under the influence of liquor at the time.
Assistant District Attorney Phillip Maroot says tests show Kaylor's blood showerd a .14 alcohol content three hours after the accident.

News Report: 50,000 See Led Zeppelin in Bay City
The British rock group Led Zeppelin drew 50,000 rock fans who paid $320,000 at Kezar Stadium last weekend. Although the 2 ½ hour show Saturday was 6,000 short of capacity, listeners blanketed the football field and stands. Hundreds of others heard the music for free from rooftops in the surrounding neighborhood.
A month ago, Led Zeppelin grossed $309,000 to shatter the Beatles' mark in 1965. Organizers said the group netted better than $1,000 per minute during the show here. It was the second large rock concert in a week at Kezar. The only casualties reported were some bad drug trips, a broken leg and a security guard accidentally wounded with his own revolver.
More than 250 cars were towed away from illegal parking areas around the stadium, police reported.

Kezar Stadium June 2, 1973
I was outside the stadium accross the street in the park when the concert started. I rode along while my roommate gave a couple friends who had tickets a ride to the concert from Redwood City. First try we got half way there and she realized she forgot the tickets ^%$$#, turned around went back for the tickets.
Second try got side swiped on the 280 freeway, the impact took the drivers door right off. Stopped went back for the door. Third try got there just in time to drop off those lucky shits. Sat down on the grass at the park and listened to the first song. I'm still kicking myself in the ass for not staying to hear the whole concert. Needed to catch a ride home so when the roommate said "lets go", I went. Some how I always thought I had plenty of time to see them later. Oh well.
PLEASE guys before I die give me one more chance to see you! I now live near Vancouver, BC Canada. I'm litteraly "an old lady" now and I still want to see you.

Ah, the eephus. I saw Frank Tanana throw one to Jose Canseco, and it was worth the price of admission.
22-16, 1st place, .5 games up.
The Tigers are 6-1 v. the Astros, outscoring them 55-19. (They could be 7-0 with a margin of 59-19 if Tiger stadium weren't so big…) They are 16-15 versus everyone else. So how good are the Tigers, really? Well, the numbers, as posted by Coleman yesterday, are pretty darn good. Exceptional to be honest.
But only 1 game above .500 against everyone else? Why could that be?
Here's a theory (other than the bad bullpen…3-6 in one run games…but we already know that one): their run differential is entirely misleading, because the boys are blowing out teams, and then not winning close games. The Tigers are posting a meager .526 OPS in "Late/Close" games (as defined by MLB.com stats). Contrast that with their .815 OPS when the team is ahead (4th in the majors). Their X W-L is 25-13. So they are either incredibly unlucky, and the wins will start to pile up, or they are over-achieving in meaningless situations. I recognize that I'm only pointing out symptoms and not solving any problems here, but the numbers don't lie.
Anyway, so I heard there's a game tonight…
You're not going to see more excitement about a May matchup than tonight's Verlander v. Darvish setting. Everyone is talking about it down here (though incredibly – 10,000 seats are still avail; but I can't open a sports page or turn on sports radio with them talking about it). Many think that these two teams are two of the best in the Majors (you'll need insider). It's going to be a heck of a 4 game set.
I'm headed over to the Ballpark in a few hours, hopefully to have a beer with OTFiM.
Yu Darvish has quickly established himself as the Rangers' ace, and he has become must watch TV around here. First, there was the opening night near perfect game. Then,there was what has to be the most viewed gif in FanGraphs history (it's pretty cool, check it out). Darvish is striking out hitters at a record-breaking pace of 13.7/9 and sporting a cool .91 WHIP in 8 starts this year (6-1, 2.73 ERA). What makes Yu so unbelievable is that he'll throw 7-8 different pitches, from virtually the same arm angle and with what looks to be the same arm speed. Don't be surprised to see an eephus pitch tonight.
Now, JV ain't no slouch (he got his own cool gif treatment a few weeks back), but he'll have his work cut out for him against a Rangers team that is tied for a major league best 12 games over .500, has won 7-10, and recently took a series from division rivals Oak at Oak.
A few notes:
– Al Al (and his 16.32 K/9) down, Evan Reed up. I really have no idea who this guy is, so look for him to enter (which would be his major league debut) in the 7th in an incredibly high pressure situation. Was anyone else shocked to see Leyland call out Albuquerque yesterday? Seems like JL never does that.
– I think we'll have a new closer within 2 months.
Tonight's I'll Be There lineup is brought to you by the Jackson 5:
1. Dirks, LF
2. Hunter, RF
3. Cabrera, 3B
4. Fielder, 1B
5. Martinez, DH
6. Avila, C
7. Peralta, SS
8. Kelly, CF
9. Infante, 2B
Ah, the eephus. I saw Frank Tanana throw one to Jose Canseco, and it was worth the price of admission.
I predict Tui will pinch hit for Kelly at some point.
Hopefully in the 2nd inning.
Or sooner
Or not. Haha.
Jim Leyland is a much-maligned genius,
It would be truly ingenious to remove Kelly from the game immediately following any hit or reaching of base, when you consider the odds against it happening again in the same game.
that at bat by Martinez is more of what we are used to wheen he is on….working the pitcher
Uh oh. Time for Evan Reed to get loose.
hey Verlander…..this is supposed to be a match up of the best two pitchers in baseball….
The phrase "unmitigated disaster" comes to mind. Two consecutive clown outings by Verlander. Time to load up on the ulcer meds.
this is an ugly weekend already and its not even the weekend yet!
I guess he is human after all….
If this becomes a trend for Verlander this will be a long season. Looks like he got Porcelloed out there.
Except that Porcello hasn't, if I'm not mistaken, walked in any runs this year. There was far more bad luck in that Angels v. Porcello disaster. Not sure if you could call anything in JV's marathon 3rd inning bad luck. It's like he was possessed by the spirit of Villalburquerque.
I was thinking back a couple years when Porcello got shelled by the Rangers and got knocked out in the 1st inning. I sure hope that doesn't happen tonight.
Aha. Yeah, me too.
In the past couple years, he has two notably good outings against the Rangers in 4 tries. Both were in Texas. The shelling was at Comerica last April 21. Ouch. Didn't retire anyone until the 7th man faced. (There was an error, of course. Inge at 2B, no less.) Worse even than the Angels debacle. More eerie is that the final score was… 10-4. Duane Below did come on and shut Texas down for 6 innings, though.
Leyland has to wake up! Its obvious JV is only good vs the weak hitting teams. Don't pitch him vs the good teams. He has made a living beating up on weak teams.
All good players do.
For example, see V-Mart vs. Astros as compared to V-Mart vs. all others.
Musta been rough, Kevin. Did you stay for the whole game?
I was impressed to see Verlander, just after getting knocked out of the game, not kicking things or sulking by himself, but at the dugout railing and later hashing something over with Avila.
Those were some pretty funny moments in the Martinez v. Darvish matchups. The quick little smile from V-Mart in the first AB after he'd fouled off, like, the 10th pitch in a row. What *can* you do but laugh at a 62 MPH pitch for a strike?
Nice face plant by Kinsler at 3B early on. He was laughing, too. And then there was Hunter selling the trap for a catch. Pretty entertaining game for the wrong kind of blowout.
I think Miggy being called out on the close play at 1B was one of those giveth-and-taketh-away things, since the Tigers had gotten the call when Reed came off the bag on the Infante throw.
After it was 8-3, I made up my mind to just concentrate on how Downs and Reed were pitching. It helped. It would have been some comfort to at least knock Darvish out, but the guy is a fiend. He made a monkey out of JV this time.
So relieved, pardon the pun, that Al-Al is finally in Toledo.
Also, continuing to play the optimist this time, recall that the Cleveland series started just this way, turned around. Look for the Tigers to win the next two in close games…
"- I think we'll have a new closer within 2 months."
Named Joaquin Benoit.

TycoIS Sets Sights on Financial Services Market
Learn why Tyco Integrated Security has decided to focus its efforts on the financial services market.
By Rodney Bosch · April 11, 2014
Daniel Schroeder, vice president of sales, North America, for Tyco Integrated Security (TycoIS), provided me rundown of the company's focused efforts in particular verticals, including financial services.
Regarding the latter market niche, because consumer banking habits have changed so drastically in recent years, security applications are evolving as a result. The company provided some stats that help bear this out. Consider:
- 51% of American adults bank online
- More than 50% of deposits are made at ATMs, not at branches
- 32% of transactions are made with a cell phone
This, in part, is resulting in newer facilities that are being built to about half the size of most traditional bank branches. Concurrently, fewer employees with increased responsibilities are staffing these smaller local offices. The branches may have a smaller footprint, but security applications are expanding, and TycoIS sees this as a significant market opportunity.
To service this market's unique security needs, for example, the company is leveraging high definition cameras and video analytics to analyze customer wait times and improve situation management, along with new access control measures for ATM vestibules, wireless/keyless entry solutions and more.

text: I stopped by the local dealership this week to look at a truck that stared at me every time I have driven by for the last couple weeks. Well, I decided to buy it with the incentives. Going to sign all the paper work Monday and hopefully picking it up at the end of next week. I know that pin-striping is all personal preference but I'd like to hear all your opinions. My current 09 that I'm trading in is Greystone Metallic with a silver and red stripe, the truck I'm getting is a 2013 1500 Z71, Red, Ext Cab, Standard box with the Z71 appearance package (painted front end, chrome grille inserts and chrome tow hooks). I'm thinking of doing almost the same stipe style using dark grey and silver. Thing is, my dad had this same color red about 10 years ago with the same color stripe and it was really sharp, but the red with no strip and nice tint also looks really good. I'm torn! Any opinions would be great! Here is the best picture I have that you can see the stripe

Comments about Louis Garneau Carbon HRS-2 Road Shoes:
I completed one century ride and a 68-mile ride with these shoes. They fit well, are well ventilated and very comfortable. Durability is a wait and see proposition, but so far, so good. The price was unbeatable, so if I get a couple of years wear out of them, I will be satisfied.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great Fit! No Hot Spots!
By Hoss the Boss
from Greenville, NC
I have wide feet and normally wear an 11.5, the 46 fits me great. The top buckle could have just slightly a little more belt to pull tight, but it works. Shoes are light and cool. Comes with different inserts for summer / winter. Would buy these shoes again!
Great shoes at a great price!
By Randy Mo
from Southwest Virginia
I needed newer shoes that I could use for everyday and special events. These shoes are very comfortable and have vents which do a good job keeping my feet cool. It was an exceptional buy considering I got them for less than half price.

Cool and Comfortable
By eadams44
from Jonesville, SC
Only my 2nd pair of cycling shoes and my first pair with carbon so not a lot to go on here. The shoes do seem cooler than my last pair and feel a little lighter and stiffer. My only complaint so far is that the shoe buckles are not the same. The right shoe strap is completely taken up to get the shoe snug while the left shoe has several clicks to go. If the shoes stretch any at all I may be riding with a loose right shoe.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Great Cycling Shoe

About Me Competitive Cyclist
See all my reviews
All the LG products are great, well designed, well made and styleish. And for shoes sizing is the sticky bit. For LG Shoes ignore the "Sizing Chart" - Didnt work at all .. But what did work was this..I have a pair of Teva Hiking Sneakers and the size of the LG shoe matched that, even though it sizes at a size 13, and there are no other shoes that I have that are size 13 .. But Whatever!! It fits .. So, my recomentation, go to some shoe store that has Teva, find the size that fits, get that size LG shoe and cross your fingers ..
Becoming a Louis Garneau fan over time

These are just great shoes. Fit is perfect for me, with a slightly wide foot and low arch. Going from my old, getting-flexy plain-leather-and-poly shoes to these is reminding me to think about grabbing little bits of power from other portions of a pedalstroke (like I was afraid of breaking the old ones by pulling up). It's hardly boiling where I live, but we get some mid 90s every once in a while, and even in the 80s you can still really enjoy the ventilation. Definitely recommended.
By BBB
from Jasper, IN
i have had a number of shoes over the years an these are the best shoes i have ever had. my riding buddies are thinking they need a pair of them too an i don't blame them. first ride out 42 miles an like have been riding with them all year. besides the looks of them the best thing is how they feel while climbing just a great power transfer to the pedals. i have the black ones i wear a size 10 shoe with a slightly wider foot an i bought the 44s. fit is perfect. if your thinking about a carbon shoe these r the ones for you well worth the money.
Great Shoe -Great Price
By martinoffroad
from Raytown, MO
Great shoe, wasn't sure I was going to like the gloss finish but they look fantastic and fast. No problem on the size. Only thing that was a pain was fitting in the 2 bolt adapter since I am still using SPD's. Nothing major but took some time. Overall a great shoe and even better price.
Well made shoe. Very light weight.
By PacNW Hiker
from Washington State
Great deal on a carbon-soled shoe. Pleaty of ventilation and two sets of insoles included. The sole has cut-outs for a two-hole system (which is why I purchased them), but no attachment plate. I had to make a separate Nashbar order for Pearl Izumi replacement two-hole plates to make these work with my Crank Brothers pedals. Looking forward to the extra power from stiffer soles and racheted straps. The 42 fit my 8.5D foot perfectly.

ha ha......... nothing slides by you two does it?
its one of the reasons i like this forum.... good natured people who like to actually BUILD and talk about building guns.
the reamer for 7.62x25 TOK is not cheap. ive "borrowed" one before.... and ive heard talk that some of the "real" fancy machinists use that another reamer but it is a shade different and then its a "feel" thing.... which would kinda defeat the point of making the change if you were still guessing at it.
and yep thats why the subby's are so heavy. takes a heavy bolt for that hot little round, which is why im wanting to use a PPS43 or 41 bolt on the modified carrier... to gain that weight.
gonna be a winter time project when things are slower...

Having been built to a tight deadline by Southern Spars' Custom Projects team in New Zealand, the replacement mast was fitted and dock-tuned by Southern Spars' Rig Pro team, on 20 October in Tarragona, Spain.
Southern Spars' director Paul MacDonald says the Rig Pro team then accompanied Salperton to Palma de Mallorca where her original Southern Spars-built boom and new Doyle sail package were installed.
'We had the mast and rig completely installed by 24 October,' says MacDonald. 'Then we've been undertaking sea trials from 26 October with the owner signing off on the new package on 29 October.'
Salperton's new mast has an overall length of 61.52m. During the remake, the owner took the opportunity of upgrading the Furling boom to incorporate the innovative inboard end batten car system. A modification was made to the forward end of the existing boom to accommodate the new batten car system.
MacDonald adds: 'She also has a removable radar pod and guard so the crew can easily prepare her for racing.'
Following the successful completion of sea trials off Palma, Salperton is now heading to the Caribbean where she will take part in the BVI superyacht regatta and the St Barths Bucket.

These chic bow earrings are replacing diamond studs as our go-to accessory. Popular with fashion editors and stylists, each pair makes a subtle girly statement and works with a variety of outfits. Pair it with a simple shirt and jeans, or match it to your bolder pieces. These lovely knots are perfect for all occasions, from low-key family gatherings and work functions to sophisticated cocktail parties.
Cute but they are really much larger than I expected. They take up my entire earlobe and a little more. Also, with the gold plated mention of the bottom, I thought that the posts would be gold plated as well. It is not and is not for those with metal allergies. I wore them for a work day and had significant discomfort, itching, and irritation to my ears afterwards. When putting them in and pushing on the plastic backing, it feels as if you are smashing them and possibly contorting them. Had I known these things, I would not have purchased them. A nice gift for a younger girl with no metal allergies. Everyone else should pass.2
I love this whole "bow" collection. I am so glad I got them while they were still in stock. I know they are leather, which seems a bit strange, but gives them a cute, humble quality I adore. I have the earrings, the rings, and happily get more of the leather non-bow rings. Probably at some point I will. These earrings are super duper!5

This phrase has a very similar meaning as the phrase brother from another mother except not quite as familiar. The phrase is used mostly to describe close friends. It pokes a little fun at your buddies while at the same time conveying friendship and kinship. If the guys are life-long friends, use "brother from another mother" but if they're close buddies or you just want to joke around, use "bama from another gramma". You have to say it like it rhymes.
What's happenin' my bama from another gramma.

Wow, I just woke up. Last night was messed up. I had to tell my best friend's sister that he was always suicidal..now she feels she could somehow saved him..and she's right. But I didn't know where he was living since he always moved from place to place and I hadn't a clue what his parent's number was. I told two of his ex-gf's that he needed to get help, they said they'd tell the parents but never did. Especially the last ex-gf which he shot himself over: http://dipintoblack.livejournal.com/91318.html
She had no remorse or care for it, didn't even post on his LJ, or his guest book on the funeral page. It's like she totally forgot about him once she left him that night.

Press Room
Charlotte Pruyn Hyde Included In New York State Senate Historical
March 12, 2003
CONTACT: Alice Grether
518-792-1761 x 15
Senate Majority Leader Joseph L. Bruno today announced three women to be added to the ranks of New York State's historic Women of Distinction. Art collector and contributor Charlotte Pruyn Hyde, Hispanic poet Julia de Burgos, and Minister Antoinette Brown Blackwell will be among those honored in an exhibit displayed at the Legislative Office Building in Albany, March 10-21.
The three women to be included in the exhibit will join over 40 other women who have stood out and been recognized for their outstanding community and professional services and groundbreaking achievements. Each of these women have played a crucial role in New York State's political, social and economic development.
These three women have blazed a trail for the women of today and broke new ground as leaders, said Senator Bruno. Their achievements are a source of pride and inspiration to all New Yorkers as their contributions have enriched the quality of life in their communities and beyond.
The Senate's Women of Distinction program was created in 1998 to honor New York women of outstanding accomplishment and importance. The women honored represent a small sample of the countless women who have enriched the quality of life in the Empire State and beyond. Past honorees include 19th Century suffragists and women accomplished in sciences, academics, business and the arts.
Charlotte Pruyn Hyde
Charlotte Pruyn Hyde's honorary inclusion as one of New York's historical Women of Distinction is of particular importance to the Capital Region. Her Glens Falls home along with its extensive collection of fine and decorative arts was bequeathed to the community in 1952 and has grown to become one of the preeminent art museums in New York.
Hyde's impressive collection of fine art adorns her magnificent Italian Renaissance style home that is now known as The Hyde Collection. The hallmark collection opened in Glens Falls, New York as Mrs. Hyde established a public trust following her husband's death.
Charlotte Pruyn Hyde was an accomplished woman of New York, born in Glens Falls in 1867 and educated there and in Albany. She was the daughter of Samuel Pruyn, the owner of the Finch Pruyn paper mill. Her considerable wealth and upbringing exposed her to thriving artistic and intellectual communities and resulted in a well developed aesthetic that continues to represent the American Renaissance ideal in Glens Falls.
For many years, our community and visitors from around the world have enjoyed the remarkable fine art collection of Charlotte Pruyn Hyde, said Senator Betty Little (R-Queensbury). Her passion for art lives today through the Hyde Collection, an incredibly generous gift she left for all of us and for future generations to appreciate. I'm pleased to join my Senate colleagues this year in recognizing Charlotte Hyde as one of three New York State Women of Distinction, a truly deserving honor as well as an opportunity for us to share with many more her wonderful legacy.
Charlotte Pruyn Hyde is a woman who's dedication and generosity to the community are worthy of distinction, said Senate Majority Leader Joseph L. Bruno (R-C, Brunswick) Her deep appreciation for the arts rivals the love she had for her hometown of Glens Falls, New York.
The Hyde Collection is honored to have Charlotte Hyde recognized in this manner, said Alice Grether, Hyde Collection Marketing Director. Her love of fine art and the desire to share it for generations to come through the Hyde Trust is a testament to her commitment and forethought. As a vital and evolving institution, The Hyde is keenly aware of her legacy and strives to keep it at the forefront of all we do.
In addition to historic figures, the Women of Distinction program also honors present day women whose achievements merit them special recognition. These honorees are selected from nominations submitted from across the state and are the focus of a contemporary Women of Distinction display slated for Tuesday June 3, 2003 in Albany.

McNeese State went toe-to-toe with the No. 12 team in the nation for 61⁄2 innings Wednesday night at Cowgirl Diamond.
The trouble for the Cowgirls was they were the 61⁄2 innings spent trying to catch up to Louisiana-Lafayette. The Ragin' Cajuns (8-1) used a four-run first inning to put away McNeese, 5-1.
"It totally takes away from your strategy when you're down 4-0 early," said Cowgirls coach Mike Smith. "We're not like them. We don't hit the long ball. So now you've got to try to manufacture runs."
McNeese starter Bianca Lilly (1-2) lasted one-third of an inning after allowing a solo home run to Brianna Cherry, then a three-run blast by Shellie Landry.
Freshman reliever Jamie Allred helped keep a game that seemed destined for run-rule status respectable.
Allred struck out 10 Cajuns and allowed a run on seven hits in 62⁄3 innings.
"What a way to come in and face a top-15 team and throw like that," Smith said. "I'm proud of what Jamie did coming in."
"She also got some help from her defense.
McNeese (8-5) had a pair of assists from its outfield, with left fielder Lauren Langner and right fielder Victoria Rich each gunning down a ULL base runner.
"We've really worked hard with them on accuracy," Smith said. "Maybe the scouting report will be 'Don't run on McNeese,' and that's a good thing for our pitchers."
"Langner also did well in the leadoff spot, going 3-for-4 with a double and scoring McNeese's lone run in the bottom of the first when Katie Roux was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded.
"I wasn't getting much inside, so I was looking out and finally got a hold of one," Langner said. "We've been practicing picking a location and sticking with it."
However, the Cowgirls weren't able to muster much else against ULL pitcher Jordan Wallace (6-0), who struck out 13.
Rich was the only other Cowgirl to get a hit, an infield single in the first.
"Langner's done a good job at the top of the lineup. We need to get some more production from the middle of the lineup and the bottom," Smith said. "She's a pitcher who is going to be around the strike zone, so we've got to hit. She's going to make a mistake somewhere. They capitalized on our mistakes."

Shanahans and RG3 installed and runs an offense most professionals arent familiar with.....yet! hes gotten much hype because hes good at what he does right now!
i fully expect dc's to devise defenses that will eventually shut RG3 down. he wont be as effective even as early as next season! the key to the skins offense with RG3 is his ability to effectively hide the ball during the play action! his running ability is also a huge factor in their game.
during Mondays game our defense did do their job to an extent but did not do their jobs late in the game!
besides that the offense stunk the place up in the 2nd half contributing to the loss by only scoring 3 points.....against that defense! amazing.
personally i think RG3 will end up as Vick 2 in a coupla years! he cant continue to take the hits hes taken in his 1st nfl season.
