Another pic
Hey those are some nice pics! I'll d-load them and add them to my site. I'm going to try to get in touch with my source either this week or next (you know who you are! ) to see if I can get some more rounds to confirm the measurements. Hate to base the chamber reamer off of only one example...
Once I get a couple more rounds to confirm the size, I'm going to see about setting up the lathe to make a reamer. I have three (oil quench) O1 steel rods ready to go!
I can do everything EXCEPT the reamer flutes. If I only knew someone who had a parting head on their mill!

I don't think the jacket would separate as you describe. Once through the bore, it would be swaged tighter due to the rifling. One would think that would make the jacket more prone to stay with the core.

This looks like a similar rifle but can't see the magazine very clearly. It does have the same vertical gas block with a sight welded on it and the new pistol grip design.

It is with profound sadness that I join the entire college community in mourning the loss of our friend and colleague, Johnny Dollar, well-known and well-respected instructor of history, religion and political science at Pulaski Technical College.
Johnny died Saturday evening from injuries received in an accident that occurred while he was rescuing an injured animal from the highway. It does not surprise me that Johnny risked his own life to save another. He was and will continue to be a hero to many of his students, former students, colleagues, friends and family members.
Johnny brought energy, vibrancy, passion and compassion to his life's work. The abruptness of his death is especially difficult to understand because of the enthusiasm with which he lived his life.
Having joined Pulaski Tech as an adjunct faculty member in 1993, Johnny became a full-time faculty member in 1996 and contributed significantly to the growth and development of the college. He, along with his colleagues, developed the college's history, political science and religion curriculum. He loved teaching and being around his students, and he was a well-deserved recipient of the faculty STAR Award for teaching excellence.
As department chair, Johnny was a servant leader to colleagues who gained immensely from his wise counsel, support and guidance. As a former journalist, he was a tireless advocate of First Amendment rights, helping to organize the college's annual celebration of Constitution Day and bringing many well-known speakers to campus to enhance the learning experience for our students.
Johnny's family was of paramount importance to him. He is survived by his beloved wife, Susan, and twin daughters, Charlotte and Lauralee, all members of the Pulaski Tech family. Please continue to remember them with your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
Johnny's tragic and untimely death serves as a reminder of just how fragile life can be. As we mourn the loss of this great teacher, mentor, colleague and friend, let us also remember to celebrate his extraordinary life and legacy.

The art of going into the street and grabbing the tar between the road cracks and then smashing it into a sheet. Then wrap the tar around your penis area. Then you find the nearest girl and slap her across the face with your penis.

Like they said, "pop, no bang" means cease fire and check it out.
The forward assist was never meant to jam a round into the chamber. It was made to allow the bolt to close after letting water out of the barrel.
Like they said, "pop, no bang" means cease fire and check it out.
Q - What is Bambi?
A - Viable Target
I still charge the cases with powder 1 case at a time, placing them in a shell tray. When the shell tray is full, I use a flash light and look inside everyone of them. It may be slower to do it that way, but have never had a squib.
I know nothing...........nothing !
If the round doesn't chamber with that much pressure, eject it and hopefully it'll pull out whatever dirt is in the chamber and the next one'll chamber. If not it might be something bad like a case separation.
About the only time I use the forward assist is if I'm out hunting and ease a round into the chamber and the bolt doesn't fully lock. Then it just a gentle push to get the bolt to close. Other than that you're just asking for problems like the kid in the video found out.
as my old buddy kelly maynard said" there is some violent shit going inside there" lol. did you see the comments .
@lolcatsrkool what you also don't know is that in vietnam they used the VERY FIRST m16 made. now, it's been fixed and is less likely to jam. plus, my cousin has an ak and he told me that it jams almost every time he fires it. plus, even if the ak does'nt jam alot, it's still a very cheap weapon, and that is the only good thing about it. united states made weapons are the best you can get.
So my Drill Sgt. WAS right ... "pop, no kick". I RE-learned a valuable lesson. The whole picture is worth a thousand words.
Thanks for posting that one and the responses. It could keep someone from getting hurt.
I am surprised Arsenal hasn't made a Worldwide commercial starting off with that video !!!!!! then finishing off by saying......This is why everyone buys AK's !!!!!!! LOL thought I'd throw that in there
Seriously though I am a big AK guy and in the begining of this year I got my first AR, I like it a lot. Now I know why everyone says act as if the forward assist isn't even there....for that very reason. That is some scary s**t.
Now here is a question, when the round blew up why did the upper not rip off and slam him in the face or anything like that....thank God it didn't but I am asking because is the AR receiver made to withstand things like that...or was it just the mag blew out easier then the upper would have and that's just where the pressure mostly went ??

Very clean, nice, spacious. Friendly service people working there. I would recommend this to anyone.
Great location in wonderful firenze.
My Family and I enjoyed our stay very much.
Thanks a lot.
We hope to come back!
Fantastic apartment! This is truly spacious and beautiful. We had only a one night stay here, but when our group of 7 people entered the apartment we all wished we could stay for one week! High ceilings and beautiful furniture gives this apartment charm. The staff at the front desk was very helpful with contacting our rental car company and making us feel very welcome.
Apartment very spacious and with everything you need. Very well it located, 500 meters from the Duomo.

Wir haben uns in der großzügig geschnittenen stilvollen Wohnung im Herzen von Florenz sehr wohl gefühlt. Darüber hinaus war die Wohnung mit allem notwendigen

Great location and a spacious stylish accommodation. Perfect to discover Florence.
Super Lage und eine geräumige stilvolle Unterkunft. Perfekt Florenz zu entdecken.
Good location, but the apartment, while clean, was not comfortable - beds were hard and there was not good seating. Furnishings were sparse. Some of the folks who manned the desk were not only not helpful, but rude as well. Would not recommend this apartment
Apartment spacious, clean, quiet, bright and well served. Practically in the center. Possibility to park (ZTL) at an acceptable price.
Appartamento ampio, pulito, silenzioso, luminoso e ben servito. Praticamente in centro. Possibilità di parcheggiare (ztl) ad un prezzo accettabile.

Not so long ago, 0-100km/h acceleration under five seconds was supercar territory: very serious performance that could only be experienced by a very fortunate few. Example: in 2003, a Ferrari 360 Modena could crack the benchmark sprint in 4.6 seconds.
As far as I'm aware, the laws of physics haven't changed in the past 10 years; that kind of acceleration feels no less remarkable on your innards now than it did back then. But you no longer need a supercar to have that sub-five-second experience. More like a super little car.
These days, 0-100km/h in four-point-something seconds is the benchmark for a decent hot hatch.
A quick flick through the Big Book of Supercar Facts was necessary when I drove the new Audi S3 in Munich last week, because the first thing that struck me was how beltingly (technical term) fast it felt. I now know the reason for that: because it is. The S3 with six-speed S tronic transmission can hit 100km/h in 4.8 seconds.
What's all the more remarkable is that it's achieved with a humble 2-litre turbocharged engine, albeit one with not-so-humble outputs: 221kW/380Nm. The linear power delivery and quick-shifting dual-clutch gearbox (the manual version can only manage 5.2sec) are key to the headline performance figures. So too is the S3's low-carb lifestyle, for this new model weighs 60kg less than the previous version. All of the above also results in impressive fuel economy of 6.9 litres per 100km.
The S3 has never wanted for straight-line acceleration or build quality, but past versions have been a bit anodyne in dynamic terms. Audi is aware of the issue and has been working hard on making its all of its S/RS models more engaging as well as ruthlessly efficient. One Audi marketing man at the launch function spoke of "emotionalising" the performance range, which was a delightful piece of German English and right on the money. If not in the dictionary.
The S3's power delivery is strong right through the rev range and the car surges forward with an incredible sense of urgency at virtually any speed.
The S3's steering is still its weak point. It has a "progressive steering" system that alters the gear ratio according to driving conditions. It's effective in sharpening up the tiller the harder you turn, but it still ultimately lacks substance.
Not so the chassis, which benefits from Volkswagen Group's new MQB platform (as used for the latest Golf).
Weight loss has resulted in a more nimble-feeling machine.
The four-wheel drive system ensures that the S3's considerable power is put to best use.
Worth noting at this point that quattro is a four-wheel drive brand rather than a specific technology these days. Larger Audis have a mechanical all-wheel drive quattro system and in many cases a bias towards the rear for sporty models, but the S3 employs an electronic/hydraulic setup that puts most of the power to the front wheels in normal driving.
Although the company insists that S3 is still "full-time" four-wheel drive because it sends a minimum of 10 per cent torque to the rear at all times, the S3 has a front-drive feel in day-to-day driving. Some may see that as a plus.
The S3 is very refined and the cabin is exquisitely well-made and comfortable, so it's a machine that plays a dual city-car/hyper-hatch role very well indeed.
I know what you're thinking: we've done this the wrong way around, going wild in the S3 before we've driven the new A3 range. Probably a good point, but can't be helped. The A3's time will come.
It's due for local release in the next two months, whereas the S3 won't reach New Zealand until later this year, when production of the five-door Sportback version kicks off (our test car was a three-door).
The S3 will line up against BMW's just-launched M135i and the forthcoming Mercedes-Benz A 45 AMG. If you're in the market for a sub-five-second premium hatchback this year, you've got a lot of thinking to do.
Now the S3 is so outrageously quick, is there really any need for another RS 3? Given that Audi seems determined to develop an RS version of every model it makes, and has a stated aim of producing these flagship variants earlier in a model's life rather than at the end (as was the case with the previous RS 3), it's clear that there is a big difference between need and want.
So when will a new RS 3 appear? Audi cannot say. What kind of powerplant will it have - a five like the old model or an uprated four from the S3? Audi cannot say.
Here's something I can tell you about the next RS 3: you won't believe how fast it is.

Northwestern adds to No. 14 Wisconsin's woes with 65-56 win in Madison
Wisconsin stopped its own bleeding after a three-game losing streak with a win over Purdue last Saturday thanks in part to a return from the Badgers' defense. On Wednesday, the defensive struggles that led to the Badgers' earlier skid returned, with a little help from some shoddy offense.
Northwestern, which entered the night with a 10-11 record, shot 48 percent from the field and tallied 43 points in the second half to knock off the Badgers' 65-56. The loss was Wisconsin's fourth in five games after a 16-0 start to the season and marked the program's first back-to-back home losses since 1998.
During Wisconsin's three-game losing streak earlier this month, the defense that defined much of its early season success gave up almost 78 points per game in those three losses. On Wednesday the Badgers managed to hold Northwestern to 65 points, but this time their own offense couldn't keep up. Wisconsin connected on a measly 15-of-57 (26 percent) of its shot attempts, including only five of their 24 shots (21 percent) from deep. Frank Kaminsky chipped in only eight points on 3-of-9 shooting. The Badgers' 56 points marked their lowest output since a 48-38 win over Virginia on Dec. 4.
In all, Wisconsin simply stalled in the second half. After Nigel Hayes made a layup with 15:01 to play to give the Badgers a 32-27 lead, the team didn't make a field goal until Sam Dekker's layup with 2:47 remaining. Wisconsin hit only seven free throws during that 12-minute span while Northwestern reeled off 27 points. Game, set, match Wildcats. Wisconsin's performance on Wednesday raised more questions than any of its previous losses to Indiana, Michigan or Minnesota. At least those three teams boast a 43-17 combined record. Northwestern entered its meeting with the Badgers as the lowest-scoring team in the Big Ten and had dropped 45 of its last 48 road games against top-25 opponents. Since starting the season with 16 straight wins, this Badgers' squad hasn't displayed the necessary consistency to contend in a suddenly wide-open Big Ten. Which Wisconsin squad shows up when it takes on Ohio State on Saturday? What about a week later when it welcomes Michigan State to Madison? No one can say for sure, and that's what's truly troubling about Bo Ryan's team going forward.

Eli Escobar (ft Nomi Ruiz) - Desire (video!)
Forgive my admittedly self-inflicted delay on this clip (oooh, she a month old!), but time is time, and with each day that passes, we really genuinely fall in love with Eli Escobar and Nomi Ruiz's Desire a little more. Now, there's a video to boot, and it employs what we think is an AfterEffects "K-Hole Filter", no? Also, hey Prince Terrance.
In this video edit of the song, the singing/instrumentation from the 1:01 to 1:15 mark is ah sooo ah gooooood that I could repeat that sequence over and over and yeah, I'm going to.

Discussion in 'History Zone' started by Hostile, Jan 2, 2012.
Lost a bet. Have this for 2 weeks.
9 years ago today. No? The 2003 season was his first here.
We win that game, or any other game we lost, and we win the East, because we'd be 10-6.
I actually miss Parcells, warts and all, considering what has come since. I truly believe that with Romo for a full season, he would have done better than Wade's 13-3 and 1-and-done playoff the season after he left. Too bad he ran out of gas in the tank just as the team was on the cusp of putting it all together. I also liked that Parcells was a trenches type coach, because we are seeing right now what happens when you ignore the trenches and focus too much on skill positions.
I remember reading some anecdote, maybe on this board, that Giants players hated playing the Cowboys back then because Parcell's Cowboys were so physical. Anyone remember what I'm talking about? I doubt any of the Cowboys rivals are saying anything like that these days.
With who?
We definitely would have been better off with Big Bill. His core was maturing into their prime. The QB was finally ready. I wish he'd have had the energy to stick around for another contract.
I think he really burned out as a coach in 2004 with all the trouble with Jerruh wanting Henson to start and everything else. And by 2006 he just did not have the energy; and like Hos said he was very close to his brother and his death towards the end of the season pretty much finished him.
And we will not even get into the whole TO mess
Actually that's not true. We win one more game and we end up 9-7. Same as the giants but since they swept us, they win the division.
The lions were 10-6. If we beat the, we would both be 9-7 but we won the head to head, so we are the wildcats and not them. ****ing bobby carpenter.
You know what, it is 9 years. My bad. He was here 4 years, Wade 3.5 years and now Garrett 1.5 years.
I was never that good at Math.
i wish i had been around during that time period.
Another poster here.
Parcells did help this club in lots of ways. However, his game management was turrible, turrible, I say!
His style was to play not to lose, unlike Jimmy whose style was to kick the **** out of you even if they were kicking the **** out of you.
ooh ok, i was like "damn, hes turning on Garret?" lol...good to know
Me too, it had gotten so bad watching them, I had to step away because I was angry all the time. Too bad it fizzled in 4 years and we seem to be flirting with the wilderness again, but hopefully Garrett can find success.
I think a lot of fans are really exhausted from all the disappointment, I know I am.
I'm in the minority here then. Even though Tuna did some good things in my opinion he did other things equally as bad. Outside of taking a horrible team to the playoffs what else did he do?
Horrible draft picks, his fault ALONE they lost to Seattle in that playoff game, yes the defense blew it at the end but had he allowed ROMO to throw the ball to T.O. against cornerbacks that were literally sitting at home the week before that game would have been a blowout. You don't grind out a win against a team with the equivalant of TNew in the def. backfield, you throw bombs all day long.
I didn't cheer his coming I knew we would do nothing and that is what they did.
I attribute that to coaching to your personnel. When you take over an awful team devoid of talent, you coach conservatively. I believe he would have been more aggressive as the team matured and got better.
Touché, good sir.
Good point, but, we will never know.
The real question is Hos would you want him as the HC today? I know you love Garrett, but let's make believe. If he was 9 years younger today and had never coached here, would you take him today and replace Garrett?
I would in a heartbeat! He might have the ego the size of Cowboys stadium but he knows how to hold everybody around him accountable (including Jerry) and coach.
To be totally honest, I was at work and I feared the move for weeks prior. I was probably one of a few who against the hire with every grain of my being. I knew is history of leaving when the going got tough. I knew every roster he had his hands on got older and slower quickly. I knew his coaching style was fading and no longer worked. I hated the hire then and I hate it now.
While it gave you hope it was a very dark time for me as a fan. I have never been a fan of Parcells and never will be.

[quote user="G-Men Surg."]I like what the Pats did. They adress their pass rushing problems with Chandler Jones and also a need at ILB with Hightower.[/quote]
Pats had a need at ILB? They have two pretty good ILBs already with Spikes and Mayo.
I wonder if they use Hightower as the SAM, in both 3-4 and 4-3 alignments. He can play some DE as well.

This Morning: Apple Off 2%; STX Slips; Riverbed Plunges
Here are some things going on this morning in your world of tech:
The Nasdaq Composite Index is up $1.39 at $2,989.34 after two days of having been shut down by Hurricane Sandy. The other major indices are up as well.
Shares of Apple (AAPL) are down $11.12, or 1.8%, at $592.88 as the Street gets its first chance to vote on the company's sacking of two senior executives on Monday evening.
Although there continue to be positive notes from the Street defending CEO Tim Cook's move, there are doubters out there as well. Trip Chowdhry with Global Equities Research this morning fired off a missive saying the departure of Scott Forstall, the head of iOS development for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, is "a major blow to Apple" and may indicate a lack of executive leadership and vision at Apple."
In other Apple news, CNet's Dara Kerr late yesterday reported that two models of the iPhone 5 have been approved by Chinese regulatory authorities, citing the Chinese blog Sina Tech. The two models reportedly could run on the networks of China Unicom (CHU), China Mobile (CHL), and China Telecom (CHA).
Shares of disk drive maker Seagate Technology (STX) are down 62 cents, or 2%, at $27.29 after the company this morning reported fiscal Q1 revenue of $3.7 billion and EPS of $1.45, missing consensus estimates for $3.8 billion and $1.70. The company forecast this quarter's revenue well below consensus, at $3.5 billion versus $3.9 billion, citing a grab bag of macroeconomic concerns.
Shares of networking technology vendor Riverbed Technology (RVBD) are down $4.05, or over 18%, at $18.57 after the company yesterday said it would purchase network management software vendor Opnet Technologies (OPNT) for $43 per share in cash, for a total consideration of $1 billion, or $921 million after counting the company's cash, a premium of nearly 30% to OPNT's prior closing price.
The stock has gotten at least one downgrade this morning, from R.W. Baird's Jayson Noland, who cut his rating to Neutral from Outperform, and cut his price target to $24 from $28, writing that while the acquisition is a "logical adjacency" for the company, nevertheless "the magnitude and timing of this acquisition create integration and disruption risk against valuation and a weak macro-economic backdrop that don't allow much room for error.

Tina Turner
Born Annie Mae Bullock near Brownsville, Tennessee, she began singing as a teen, and joined Ike Turner's touring show as an 18-year-old backup vocalist. Just two years later, Tina was the star of the show, the attention-grabbing focal point for an incredibly smooth-running soul revue headed by Ike and his Kings of Rhythm. The couple began hitting the charts in 1960 with "A Fool in Love," and notched charting singles throughout the '60s, though the disappointing position of "River Deep, Mountain High" -- cited by Phil Spector as one of his best productions -- was very hard to take. All expectations were fulfilled in 1971 with "Proud Mary," a number four hit that became the capstone of Ike & Tina's Revue. Frustrated by Ike's increasingly irrational behavior, though, Tina walked out just three years later.
She celebrated her newfound freedom in 1975 with a role in the film version of the Who's Tommy. Playing the Acid Queen, she delivered an outrageous, all-too-brief performance in an otherwise forgettable mistake of a movie. Several albums were recorded for United Artists during the late '70s, but she appeared to be washed up by the turn of the decade. Surprisingly, Tina returned in 1983, first teaming with a Heaven 17 project named B.E.F. on a remake of the Temptations' "Ball of Confusion." Tina's vocal offering was understandably apocalyptic, and she gained a solo deal with Capitol that same year. Her first single, a cover of Al Green's "Let's Stay Together," hit the Top 30 early in 1984. Second single "What's Love Got to Do with It" became one of the year's biggest hits, spending three weeks at number one. Her album Private Dancer included two more Top Ten singles, the title track and "Better Be Good to Me."
With another movie role in 1985 (Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome), she found a number two hit with its theme, "We Don't Need Another Hero." Her next big hit followed in 1986 ("Typical Male"), after which Tina began to decline, still charting occasionally and selling respectably with albums including 1989's Foreign Affair, 1996's Wildest Dreams, and 2000's Twenty Four Seven. In 2009, Turner oversaw and added spoken word segments to Beyond: Buddhist and Christian Prayers, which featured singing from Regula Curti and Dechen Shak-Dagsay. The CD was officially released a year later in 2010. Four years later, a collection of her romantic solo material called Love Songs appeared in time for Valentine's Day. ~ John Bush

Reviews of this property
Giuseppe was very nice and gave us a lot of information about Rome. There a lot of possibilities to get to the center by bus, tram or train (also late at night) which is great.
The room is nice but a little too small for three people. The bathroom was ok but not very clean (seemed like the carpets haven't been washed for a long time).
Be aware that you have to pay the tourist tax in cash when you arrive.
If you add the tourist tax and the wimdu fee (18 €) to the price you can also book a private apartment for the same money, maybe on another homepage.
Excellent accommodation! We had all the facilities needed, and Mr. Giuseppe Conte was a great and helpful host, and a fine and tasteful man! Polyglot also :) The location is very close to Trastevere railway station (very useful and handy for the Fiumicino airport connection, and also for other trips). Close enough to Trastevere and Rome touristique epicenter.
The place with mr Giuseppe was nice and basic. He gave some advices for restaurants, culture and shopping. We only slept there, because you could have a breakfast nearby. From there it was all very easy to reach.
We had some wonderfull days in Rome!
Giuseppe's apartment is one of the best choices for everyone who wants to visit Rome.
In Trastevere district but near the heart of old city, because public transport connections are doorstep and very efficient.
Besides, you will find a host that can give you precious tips!
We absolutely recommend!
Easily the best host imaginable. Very kind, helpful and readily available in case of a question. Giuseppe briefed us on any problem that might occur and gave us lots of advice about the city.
Our room was perfectly suited for two visitors and also included an air conditioner. We were allowed to use the whole kitchen area and the bathroom any time we liked.
The flat was located within easy reach of the public transport system, so we could get out into the city throughout the whole day and also return late without any inconvenience.
We'd highly recommend staying at Giuseppe's place!
We had a great time- the host is very good prepared (we got information about getting there, transportation, etc.) and friendly, plus the room was quite and had a great bed. We would go there again!
beautiful apartment! It had everything we need. It also very close to the public transportation. But the best of all was the host Giuseppe very nice guy, very helpful. I really recommend this place!
Great location both for walking and all public transport, moments from Central Rome and easy to use all transport. Lovely apartment, clean and comfy, and any sharing was no issue. Prepared all our meals (dietary issues) and kitchen was ideal. Supermarket easy to find and use. Giuseppe is a great guy, helpful and knowledgeable. We hope to refurn to number 49 and Rome again.
We had a very nice stay. Apartment was nice and in a good localisation. Giuseppe is helpful guy.

A new Disney Channel hidden-camera TV show, Code 9, plays out every kid's fantasy: playing a practical joke on a parent. The show pairs families with a special effects team to create, plan and help carry out a fun, harmless prank on an unsuspecting mom or dad. One family member even gets to go undercover with special prosthetic make-up to come face-to-face with the parent during the prank (the phrase "code 9" is used to signal this start of a prank). In the first episode, airing July 26 at 8 p.m. Eastern Time on Disney Channel, the Tribble siblings and their mom think their dad loves golf a little too much, so they set him up for a prank involving blowing up a golf cart. (Click here to watch a clip.)
Code 9 also takes you behind the scenes to learn how the special effects behind the prank work. Joe Dalo is the show's special effects and stunt coordinator. Dalo, a Hollywood effects expert, has a mixed background in science, set design, carpentry and directing that landed him his cool job. Read on to learn more about his role on the show.
Each episode revolves around one prank. How much planning goes into each prank?
Generally, each prank takes a week to do. Once we learn about what the prank is, I have to go and figure out how to make the prank work, and then we have to test it. You get to see our testing process (on the show).
In a teaser for the show, we see a hockey blimp go off-course. What happens there?
I don't want to give it away, but in that situation, the dad loves hockey. If you ever go to a hockey game, you see those giant hockey blimps, so he gets a chance to control that hockey blimp. But at the same time, we are having this awesome hockey camp for the kids, right on the ice, and (NHL player) Kevin Westgarth's stuff is there, all his trophies. (The dad) thinks he's controlling (the blimp), but we have control of it, and we make him think he rips and tears the whole place apart when he knocks over a giant structure. It's very funny. His face is incredibly funny when it happens.
What role are you typically playing on the show?
Wes (Dening) is the host, and I'm the special effects guy. I'm the scientist in the shop. I help create and make all these gags actually work. I'm in control of them, and on top of that, I get to come out and explain to you how they are done.
When you start planning a prank, what are some of the most important things you have to think about?
It's always safety first. You want to have fun, you want to make people laugh, you want to give people a shock. But you don't want to make it so that it's dangerous. So it's always safety first, and once you step back from safety, then you can start planning how you are going to make the things that are safe happen.
Can you tease what's been your favorite prank so far that we'll get to see this season?
(There's one where the family) makes the mother believe that the car was being driven through a wall at a warehouse. I got to, during the demonstration, show you how it works by driving a Sunbuggy (go-kart) through a wall, and it was awesome.
Do you and your team practice and test out each prank before the official prank?
I have a five-time rule that it has to work five times before we say that it's okay. That's my own personal rule.
What sort of science do you use to plan the stunts?
I would say physics and geometry are two things I'm glad I paid attention to in school because physics and geometry have a lot to do with what we do—algebra also. It's a lot of the physics of science, (such as) knowing how much pressure you are going to need to cause something to happen. (In my job, I have) to know how far (or) high something has to be, and if it's shooting at a certain angle, where it's going to end up. I always have my calculator out. I'm always on my computer double-checking myself.
As a kid, were you a prankster, or did you enjoy science experiments?
When I was a kid, I took everything apart. I had to know how everything worked. I would drive (my parents) crazy. And yes, I loved pranks. My mom was a prankster too, so I got it from her. I have four siblings, so you can imagine the amount of pranks that went on. It's the way I learned to show love, by playing practical jokes.
Do you have a favorite parent reaction? Are you ever worried about how they will react?
My favorite reaction is when somebody gets freaked out about it, and you just see their eyes bulging out of their head. They are just looking around, and they have no idea what's going on. And yes, I always worry that somebody is going to get really upset or mad. But at least with these jokes, it's a lot more (fun-natured). I worry more about making sure the gags go right. I call it the "hero or zero" moment: You are pushing that button or pulling that string (to start the prank), and you are either going to be the hero or the zero. Luckily, on Code 9, we've been the hero the whole time. We've gotten every parent. We are sneaky.
Why should kids tune in to Code 9?
One, it's fun because you know every kid wants to play a practical joke on their parent. Two, it's fun to learn about what we are doing. (You get to watch) me pull off these demonstrations of what we are going to be doing later. To watch a practical joke is great, but to watch a practical joke and find out how you create that practical joke is more fun. We blow up a dad's golf clubs. The thought of being able to do that to my dad would have been awesome. So I think that's why kids will like it. This is something you really can relate to.

Our 2013 Forrester Groundswell Awards (submission deadline is August 30th!) are structured around the Forrester Marketing RaDaR model, with awards for outstanding social marketing in each phase of the customer life cycle. My research this quarter focuses on social reach – tactics to help people discover your brands, products, and promotions – so I want to highlight a 2011 winner demonstrating the power of advocate marketing.
In 2011, Unilever introduced a new extra-strong variant of Marmite, a yeast-based spread that no one is just "meh" about – consumers either love it or hate it. Marmite's consumers are extremely passionate about the product, and Unilever created an exclusive community for only the top 200 fans and advocates to feed (pun intended) their excitement. Each community member received one of 200 commemorative jars of the new Marmite.

Mother of double-shooting suspect speaks out
MOUNTAIN CITY, Tenn. - UPDATE: Mabe was captured on the morning of June 13, 2013. Click here to read more.
He's considered armed, dangerous, and was recently added to the TBI's Most Wanted list -- police continue their search for a man accused of shooting two people outside of a home in Johnson County, Tennessee on Monday morning.
We caught up with the suspect's mother who told us she's simply worried for her son's life.
Police across Tennessee, Virginia, and North Carolina are on the hunt for Richard Shane Mabe. He's on the TBI's Top Ten Most Wanted List for what they say is a shooting of two people early Monday morning. Click here to read more about the investigation.
We caught up with his mother Tammy ,who didn't want to give her full name for fear of her safety. She says she hasn't seen her son since Monday. "That's why he fled, he's in fear of his life for the authorities," said Tammy.
Mabe's mother says she believes the altercation that happened outside of a home on Divide Road went down much differently and she had a sinking suspicion when her son left Sunday night. "I told him before he left, I felt it. I said, 'Don't leave.' I said, 'It's a setup.' I don't know them and he didn't tell me who was going to see so I said don't go," added Tammy.
We learned the Johnson County Sheriff's Office is chasing down every possible lead and there are always two sides to a story. "That's why we would like Mabe to come in, turn himself in, and tell us his side of the story," said Sheriff Mike Reece.
Sheriff Reece says the reason Mabe is on the Most Wanted List is simply because of this recent investigation. He says that Mabe has a long criminal history and is a sex offender.
But for this worried mother, she has a simple message. "I love you and I know you wouldn't hurt anyone unless they were trying to kill you," added Tammy.
If you have any information about the whereabouts of Richard Shane Mabe you're asked to contact the Johnson County Sheriff's Office at (423) 727-7761.

Virginia Builds $1 Million "Super" Bus Stop
Tiffany Kaiser
April 4, 2013 10:09 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
It expects to build 23 more at over $900,000 a piece
The city of Arlington just recently opened an
impressive bus stop
with a not-so-impressive price tag of $1 million.
The "super stop" in Arlington, Virginia is unlike any other bus stop. It has a custom designed roof made of glass and steel; a wall of etched glass; heaters in the floor; gorgeous landscaping, and concrete/stainless steel benches.
The bus stop has 10-inch high curbs, 90 feet of concrete and can shelter 15 people at a time while waiting for buses to arrive – all at a cost of $1 million.
The cost comes down to $575,000 for construction/fabrication and $440,000 for construction management and inspections, where federal/state money took care of 80 percent of the total price tag.
When Arlington citizens discovered the cost of the super stop, many were outraged.
"That's ridiculous," said Robin Stewart, a citizen who was waiting at the super stop. "From a citizen, from a voter, whoever put that budget through needs to get their butt canned. It's an outrage."
The super stop opened on March 11, and 23 more are planned for Arlington's streetcars. The county has set aside $20.8 million for all of them, which is about $904,000 a piece.
The idea behind the fancy bus stops is to not only accommodate Arlington's plans for its streetcars and buses (about 16,000 people use the Columbia Pike buses for transportation) but to also draw people to the area. New housing is expected to be built in the area over the next two decades, and the county hopes the bus stops will help it flourish.
"When you do a prototype, you end up heavily front-loading on the costs," said Dennis Leach, Arlington's transportation director. "These are more like high-capacity bus or rail stops."
But citizens are concerned about the budget, saying that Arlington can build nice bus stops without having to spend $1 million.
"Oh my God. How much steel? How much cement? How much glass? One million? Bring them to court," said Husain Hamid, who was waiting at the super stop. "People are hungry. People are sleeping on the street. It doesn't need $1 million."

Spectrum efficiency
Besides issues of national sovereignty defence, very strong economic and political interests play a determinant role in the management of spectrum, largely due to the rapidly increasing economic value of spectrum. Spectrum management strategies also need to be constantly updated to stay in tune with advances in communication technologies.
Through ever advancing modulation and coding techniques, telecommunications engineers are discovering more and more efficient ways to transmit information using time, frequency and space diversity. Their goal is to increase "spectrum efficiency", defined as the number of bits per second (bit/s) that can be transmitted in each Hertz (Hz) of spectrum per square kilometre of area.
For example, the first attempts to provide mobile telephone services used a powerful transmitter conveniently located to give coverage to a whole city. This transmitter (called a Base Station in this context), divided the allocated frequency band into a number, say 30, channels such that only 30 conversations could be held simultaneously in the whole city. As a consequence, the service was very expensive and only the extremely wealthy could afford it.
This situation prevailed for many years until advances in electronic technology allowed implementation of a scheme to take advantage of "space diversity". Instead of using a single powerful transmitter to cover the whole city, the area to be serviced was divided into many "cells", each one served by a low power transmitter. Cells that are sufficiently far apart can use the same channels without interference. This is known as "frequency reuse".
With the cellular scheme, the first 10 channels use frequency band 1, the second 10 channels frequency band 2 and the remaining 10 channels frequency band 3. This is shown in figure 1, in which the colours correspond to different frequency bands. Notice that the colours repeat only at distances far enough to avoid interference. If we divide the city into, for example, 50 cells, we can now have 10X50 = 500 simultaneous users in the same city instead of 30. Therefore, by adding cells of smaller dimensions (specified by lower transmission power) we can increase the number of available channels until we reach a limit imposed by the interference.
The example above shows that clever use of existing resources can dramatically increase efficiency.

Cerroni's Game-Winning Three Ends Overtime Thriller
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
CHICAGO, Ill. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - It was a happy homecoming for head coach Brian Wardle and a number of Green Bay players from Chicago, but it was a Wisconsin native that drained a game-winning three-pointer for the Phoenix. Sophomore Kam Cerroni (Sussex, Wis.) sank a triple with 0.4 seconds to play in overtime off a beautiful feed from Steve Baker (St. Paul, Minn.) to give Green Bay (14-14, 9-8 HL) a 73-70 victory over Loyola (7-21, 1-16 HL) on Thursday night at Gentile Arena.
Cerroni's triple came at the conclusion of an exciting overtime period that featured three ties and three lead changes, a fitting end for a back and forth game that included 18 lead changes.
Junior Brennan Cougill (Sioux City, Iowa), who had a team-high 19 points to go with nine rebounds, knocked down a three-pointer with 22 seconds left to give the Phoenix a 70-69 lead.
A foul on Cougill with eight seconds left put Loyola's Ben Averkamp on the line with a chance to win it. Averkamp, who had 26 points and 10 rebounds, made the first to tie but saw his second fall off the rim.
Cougill found Baker with an outlet pass, and the senior drove hard down the right side all the way to the bucket before finding Cerroni on the left wing with a drift pass. The sophomore, who is leading the Horizon League in three-point percentage, drained the shot for Green Bay's fourth-straight win and seventh in its last nine games.
Cerroni had given the Phoenix a four-point lead (63-59) with 24 seconds to play in regulation, but Averkamp scored on a putback with 10 ticks left. Sophomore Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) was fouled and missed the front end of a one-and-one, and Averkamp tipped in a shot at the buzzer to send the game to overtime.
Draining 3-of-5 triples, Cerroni finished with nine points and drained a three for the 17th game in a row he has hit a shot from long range.
Brown had 10 points and seven rebounds at the half in helping Green Bay to a 31-26 halftime lead, but the Ramblers scored the first six points of the second half and it was a back-and-forth game from there.
With 18 points and 12 rebounds, Brown tallied his seventh double-double this season. The sophomore also posted five blocked shots to raise his single-season Phoenix record to 86 blocks.
Two days after playing 40 minutes in a 71-67 victory over Cleveland State, freshman Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) tallied a team-high 41 in Thursday's affair. The Chicago native reached double figures for the ninth game in a row with 13 points, but maybe more importantly had seven of his eight assists after halftime.
Cerroni, Baker and Cougill each hit three triples as Green Bay knocked down 9-of-14 three-point attempts. The Phoenix hit 64.3 percent of its threes (9-14), the ninth-best three-point shooting effort in Green Bay history. The team shot 46.7 percent from the floor.
Green Bay will stay in Chicago to play its regular season finale at UIC on Saturday at 1 p.m.

I have been treating hives for Varroa using my own formula made from crystals of Thymol 91% alcohol and high grade mineral oil. 8-12 grams of Thymol crystals dissolved into about 3 ounces of 91% alcohol and then after dissolving the formula I add about 6 ounces of high grade mineral oil. I cut cardboard strips about 8 inches long and 1 -2 inches wide and let these soad for a period of time in the solution. After soaking I place these in a ziploc bag and transport to the bee yard.
My method of placing these in the hive varies, I have placed some of these down in the brood chamber between the frames and others I have placed on top of the brood chamber top bars. My success has been good, I seem to get good results from either application. I have been repeating these applications again in ten days.
Does anyone have other formulas for mixing?
Also I have soaked beer coasters and used on the top bars as well, they work just fine.

Pumpkin Buttermilk Pancakes
15 Oct
Fall is finally in the air. Leaves are changing and the air has a chill in it. Front porches are decorated with pumpkins, mums, hay bales, and corn stalks. I love this time of year!
There is something about the fall that makes me want to bake. I love to make pumpkin bread and muffins, but sometimes I want something less heavy. These Pumpkin Buttermilk pancakes are wonderful. They are soft, fluffy and slightly sweet. My children love them with pure maple syrup and butter. You will love this recipe. One bite and you will taste autumn. Enjoy!

The Grammar Old Boys gave John Morris a sendoff last week. It was not his first farewell; the 10th headmaster in the 143-year history of what's generally regarded as the country's best state school announced before Christmas that he would finish at the end of September, and he's been subjected to a few valedictories since.
But the man whose business card now says Morris Consulting plainly treasured last week's affair, in which he saluted and was saluted by a group he described as "our advisers, advocates and allies in support of our institutional mission and vision".
About 300 of them filled one of the function rooms at Eden Park with the clank of cutlery and the babble of conversation as a slideshow played shots of the guest of honour in grinning handclasp poses. An old-school portrait on the dais showed him in academic regalia looking thoughtful and, it seemed to me, like a man bowed down by the burden of office.
Among the speechmakers, last year's head boy, Nick Orr, expressed mock disappointment that he could dig no dirt on the man they called JMo except that he "drove 400m to work each day" from his house on the grounds of the school's boarding hostel.
More saliently, the headmaster of Wellington College, Roger Moses (AGS, 1968-72) hailed Morris' fondness for "railing against the political correctness that emanates from the education faculties of universities and colleges of education". It was a remark that elicited plenty of nods of approval from the men at the 30 black-clothed tables, though Morris himself, a history graduate, might have winced when Moses quoted former "Archbishop of Canterbury" Sir Thomas More (More, who went to his death rather than recognise the King as the head of a Church of England, was sort of the opposite of the Archbishop of Canterbury).
That aside, the remark seemed to depict Morris as a champion of practice over theory, of hard-knocks, bugger-the-pollsters sort of education. Yet when we meet for an hour on Monday morning, he several times uses the phrase "there is plenty of research on this". Class size has "minimal impact" on student achievement, he tells me: "Hekia [Education Minister Hekia Parata] was dead right on that. It just wasn't sold particularly well. There's a whole lot of research, the world over they're saying that."
He chooses the meeting place: Urban Cafe in Newmarket, where the two Johns, Banks and Key, so famously sought to be seen but not heard. They know him here - when I go up to order coffee the barista tells me how "Mr Morris" likes his and the waiter who brings them warns him that "there's a recording device on your table".
It's a matter of some pride to him that he's only the 10th Grammar head. That characteristic longevity - his predecessor John (now Sir John) Graham did 20 years and the legendary Henry Cooper 18 - gives the school a sense of "stability and continuity". But after 19 years (in which about 10,000 boys passed through the gates) the 62-year-old decided it was time to move on.
"I wanted to have some decent time, before I started to do not much at all, to do some decent work and do something a little bit different."
That "something different" includes consultancy work in the Persian Gulf states and Asia for Cambridge International Examinations, whose introduction to the assessment landscape here Morris so enthusiastically championed. "I'm not a salesman," he insists. "The work I was doing in Qatar was on leadership and the impact principals can have on student achievement."
He's also been commissioned by the independent public policy think tank New Zealand Initiative (formed in April by a merger of the Business Roundtable and the New Zealand Institute) to write monographs on teacher quality and improving student outcomes; he's on the boards of Education New Zealand (a Crown body that promotes our education to overseas markets), the Tertiary Education Commission (which administers funding to that sector); and he's on a team reviewing the profession's regulatory body, the Teachers Council.
So resignation plainly does not mean retirement, or anything like it. But as he looks back on a term at the top during what he has described as "a period of significant change", the headmaster (Grammar doesn't have principals) downplays his importance in the scheme of things.
"My interest is in curriculum and assessment," he says, "which is why I got involved in Cambridge and NCEA and so on. But I personally don't think the principal is the number one. I think the main influence is family background, and then the classroom teacher and then the principal. But the principal does make a difference - there's a lot of research on this - by appointing the best possible staff. If you've got lousy teachers, you've got a lousy school."
I'm wondering whether he's stating the obvious or begging the question (what constitutes a good teacher has filled many millions of pages by people in those university education faculties Roger Moses so derided). But it reminds me of a comment much replayed in the past week since the death of the distinguished Grammar alumnus Sir Wilson Whineray: the former All Black captain said the team was so good during his tenure that "a baboon could have captained them".
If Morris thinks I'm calling him a baboon, he shows no sign of offence. But I want to know whether Grammar is what Grammar is as much because of its intake as its pedagogy: real estate in the "Grammar zone" is among the priciest in the country and it's the zone that pushes the prices up. In short, does the fact that the kids come from rich homes, where aspiration and achievement are embedded values, make teacher quality less significant than student quality?
"One of the myths of Grammar is that all the kids are bright," he says. "They're not. There is a huge variation." Grammar has a Learning Support Department - the term "slow learners" has fallen out of favour - in which four full-time staff, twice as many teacher aides and parent volunteers deal with more than 200 kids a week, he explains.
"On the other hand, some kids these days are brilliant scholars in terms of the quality and depth of their work, their ability to debate and discuss, and that's why you need good teachers at top level."
In any case, Morris says he knows what life is like on the less sunny side of the tracks, West-Auckland raised (only the occasional vowel, as in "how" pronounced "hoe", betrays his Lancashire roots), he went to Kelston Boys', where he later taught. His parents left school at 12 and he was the first person in his family history to go to university.
"I understand the value of education, that it can transform lives. I don't go in to bat for the elite but to improve it for everyone."
Morris has sympathy for Education Secretary Lesley Longstone's comments about the "tail" of educational underachievement system, which is getting longer and is disproportionately brown.
He has had many meetings with iwi groups about ways of encouraging applications from Maori boys and has partnered with the United Maori Mission whose Owens Rd hostel is in the Grammar zone, and has brought 50 boys from communities where educational opportunity is poorer.
In his speech at that Old Boys' dinner, he mentioned the school's endowment in 1850 "for the welfare and educational advancement of persons of all classes, all races who may inhabit this colony".
Morris says he has not sought to be the spokesman for traditionalism; the media seek the Grammar head out. But on the contentious matters he has spoken out about during his stewardship, he remains as unequivocal as ever.
His early opposition to NCEA as an internally assessed system of aggregating credits that would "eradicate challenge and demotivate effort" is unchanged, though he thinks that his championing of the Cambridge alternative has improved NCEA.
As we pack up to leave, I remark that Morris has consistently referred to the school as "we" - even though he's stepped down and declined to be interviewed or even photographed at the school.
He smiles, as though caught out doing something wrong. "Well, once you're the headmaster, I suppose, you're always sort of ... I hadn't thought about it to be honest. It's part of your life, when you've been there that long. It probably lives with you. You're part of the school."
