The Prix de Diane Longines 2012 lived up to all expectations this Sunday in Chantilly. Horse Valyra and jockey John Patrick Murtagh runed the 2,100 meters of the race in 2:10:11 in front of an audience of 40,000 people captivated by the elegance of the day. Longines, which celebrates its 180th anniversary, was for the second year in a row partner of this exceptional event and took the opportunity to introduce its new Longines Ambassador of Elegance, the actor Simon Baker. The Swiss watch brand also promoted the champions of tomorrow with the Prix Longines Future Racing Stars. The competition was also intense out of the racetrack with the Prize for Elegance "Mademoiselle Diane par Longines". The new line of the brand, The Longines Saint-Imier Collection and the sweet concert of Ayo highlighted this great race day.
The public gathered on the lawns of Chantilly racecourse held its breath during the 2:10:11 minutes of the Prix de Diane Longines. Valyra ridden by John Patrick Murtagh won the biggest race for fillies in the world. Valyra trained by J.-C. Rouget and owned by His Highness the Aga Khan has known how to win with style this prestigious and mythical Group 1 race.
In order to highlight this day of elegance, Longines presented its new Ambassador of Elegance, the Australian actor Simon Baker. He had the pleasure to award the trophy to the winner of the Prix de Diane Longines. Its natural charm has seduced the elegant ladies on the racecourse of Chantilly.
Another great moment of racing was the Prix Longines Future Racing Stars, bringing together young jockeys from the UK, France, Ireland, Germany and Italy. It has been won by the A. Citti on Chock Dee. This race, in partnership with the Ecole des Courses Hippiques and the Association Européenne des Ecoles de Courses Hippiques, shows the will of Longines to encourage youth through sport and to support young talents.
The Prix de Diane Longines is also a celebration of the feminity, in particular with the Prize for Elegance "Mademoiselle Diane par Longines". During the whole day, style hunters went through the racecourse in order to find the most elegant lady of the day. The jury moderated by the magazine Elle named Charlène Pestana "Mademoiselle Diane par Longines" 2012. She has had the pleasure to receive a watch of The Longines Saint-Imier Collection set with diamonds from hands of Simon Baker, the new Longines Ambassador of Elegance. She will certainly keep an unforgettable memory of this day.
Singer Ayo gave an enchanting concert in the Diane Gardens and the public of Chantilly has been able to discover The Longines Saint-Imier Collection, the new line of the Swiss watch brand. This collection is directly inspired by the watchmaking tradition of Longines. One modelin particular charmed all the ladies in Chantilly; it is in steel and rose gold and is set with 60 diamonds. Its case has a diameter of 30 millimeters and reveals a mother-of-pearl dial with twelve diamond indices. It is fitted with an automatic movement, just like all the models of The Longines Saint-Imier Collection.

Central Bucks High School West is the social counterpart to CB East. We may have money but we're too busy spending it all on pot unlike the east kids who blow it on alcohol and hollister shirts. (See pop the collar day) Generally everyone at west is pretty friendly and you can see people dealing at lunch with a smile. We go to town, have parties, and get baked and we love it.

My wife, Kathy, and I started this "hobby" this spring. We bought kits for two full hives but only started one, in case it just didn't click with us. So far, so good, though. We have a good location in east central Iowa. Lots of water, fields with prairies forest as well as pasture, many flowering plants. So we're hopefull it will be productive as well as fun.
We have a lot to learn and hope to learn a lot here. Hello to all.:)

Small Business Administration: The federal Small Business Administration fosters small business success, including support for international trade. In addition to its other information resources and programs, the Small Business Administration offers free, individual counseling a few days each month through the Service Corps of Retired Executives (SCORE). SCORE volunteers offer help at the Bellevue Regional Library.
Community Capital Development: Provides free, one-on-one business counseling, mentoring and plan development. A nonprofit organization, CCD tailors assistance to the business owner's individual needs and makes referrals to the Small Business Administration or outside experts as appropriate.

I have recently acquired a don post helmet from ebay for real cheap ($20) It is in a shape of disrepair and I am going to fix her up for my first custom mando helmet! I am wondering how do I go about laying down fiberglass inside of my helmet and smoothing it out as to where it will give it a nice strong inner layer as to where they rotocast material will not deform.
I tried a search but did not find anything either on google/youtube or TDH.
Any information on the process of fiberglassing a helmet is appreciated!

Thanks everyone for the advice on the 'slice', now to keep all the white on one side and blue on the other. Just messed up one and remaking it.

I took another day off. LOL First I had ta take #2DSon ta the urgent care clinic 'cause he has puss pockets on his tonsils. I had intended ta go ta the Quilt show durrin' that time. So when I got back I decided ta call DM & go ta the quilt show instead o' cleanin' the old house. All we need ta do ta finish is the front bathroom. I'll do that on Mon.
My initials are BB, so dublb is double B.
So glad you had a day away from the "old" house dublb. Did you find anything interesting at the Quilt Show? Hope #2DS is going to be ok, sounds like those tonsils need to come out. (I know, they don't take them out like when I was a child, I had mine out at age 7.)
"You have enough quilts made when your soul is filled, your creativity satisfied and your fingers just won't work anymore."
Bev so glad you are nearing the end of your cleaning, take a good long rest and recover properly, there is only one you in this world.
Thank you everyone for your kind words, sometimes I feel like such a bi%^& for not sharing, but then it is so one sided..
Not having a car at my disposal has been very good for accomplishing a lot in my sewing room, here is what has been going on.
First I finished my embroidered Peirrot quilt
Second I sewed three more rows to my mini star quilt
Third or at the same time the embroidery machine has been humming along with some gorgeous blocks.
Now to baste a quilt for DD, she is giving it as a gift next year.
Hi Nina, here's a photo of what your block looks like...
Wow, Honchey, I wish it did. Started with Quilte's advice, first two blocks were fine, then the blue jumped on the wrong side again. Hope for better luck tomorrow. Have to laugh at myself and how I see things...it a real challenge.
Your work, Miraballe, is marvelous. Top of the line...wonderful, beautiful, just perfect. Love it all.
Honchey ... great mirror shot!!
MiraB ... my goodness you have been busy! Do you ever slow down? Your Pierrots are cute and the new Little Ladies are just plain fun!
DublB ... sometimes you just have to slow down to finish the last of the work! When I moved ten years ago, I just got the point of exhaustion ... no one else to do it. You have been so fortunate to have so much help.
JeanieG ... speaking of which ... are all things finished and settled now with all your house "work"?

My wife, daughter and myself were having cabin fever and decided to bag a six mile afternoon day hike in one of our favorite pristine spots in a nearby redwood forest. On the way in we noticed a Toyota truck parked in an odd position on the dirt road we were traveling on. We didn't stop because we were already short on daylight to make our hike and knew other cars would be traveling on this rural road. Our hike was fantastic even though the last mile was in the dark. On the drive home we drove past the same Toyota now parked off the side of the road with a man flagging us down. I told my wife to stop and see if he needs help as few if any cars use this road after sundown. A rather large man approached our car wearing only a tee shirt and shorts which seemed odd considering It was a damp 32 degrees out. He asked if we would give him a ride into town which is about 25 minutes away because his transmission is out in his truck. I agreed and we took him right to his house and all turned out well. He told us that a Ranger had stopped to see why he was parked funny and blocking the road. The Ranger called for backup and they handcuffed him while they ran a backup check on him. He admitted he was rude to the officers and that is why they handcuffed him. Eventually they moved his truck off the road.
Was I wrong to jeopardize the safety of my wife, daughter, and self to help a stranger on a dark rural road?

I don't want to say right or wrong but I can tell you that I wouldn't have done it.
I don't want to ignore someone who needs help but I would have found some safer way of responding.Jan 6, 2013 at 7:09 am #1941161
Ken T.BPL Member
Hard to say without being there to pick up on the vibe. actually seeing. Curious as to why the rangers did not assist him with a ride. Rude or not Rangers are paid to help.
I'm a big dude myself. I've made people nervous by being larger than them and their friend together. I can see both sides of this issue.
I'm glad that it all worked out. That is the important part.Jan 6, 2013 at 7:46 am #1941172
DougBPL Member
I agree with Ken that you're the one who was there and could get a sense of the vibe. Also, since he was only in t-shirt and shorts I assume you could easily tell he wasn't 'carrying' anything. That would make it easier to help. I assume he told you about the rudeness and handcuffs during the ride and not before.
Not sure what I would have done, of course, but I might have called the police (non-911) and told them a motorist needed assistance and let them deal with it. I definitely would have taken a pic of his license plate and emailed it to a friend, and let him know I was doing it, if I decided to give him a ride.
Did your wife think it was a good idea?Jan 6, 2013 at 10:40 am #1941201

Agree, you would have had to be there to analyze the situation.
Regarding the Rangers. I wouldn't pass judgement. We only heard one side of the story, and that person admitted poor behavior. There maybe more to it and Hoot only got tid bits of what transpired. I find that Rangers often give people more "benefit of doubt" than I would.Jan 6, 2013 at 1:43 pm #1941238
Hoot FilsingerBPL Member
@filsingerLocale: Pacific Northwest
I believe Nick is right about the ranger. What transpired between the ranger, sheriff and stranger definitely had two sides. I feel if the stranger would have been cordial he could have scored a ride to town or at least a phone call for needed help (maybe a night in a cold car would have taught him some manners). The stranger did say when ever a car drove by he would get out of his truck and the cars would speed off. I was fairly sure he was having car trouble and as we went by we continued about 30 yards before we stopped . I watched him closely (glad i carry a 150 lumen flashlight) as he approached and asked if he needed assistance. He was not aggressive and said his transmission went out and my level of concern was lowered. My wife is a retired peace officer and would have never stopped if I was not in the car and the fact we could see he was not armed. It turned out the stranger was the nephew of a colleague I work with (small town). In hind site I am probably too trusting and will probably be more cautious in the future. My bigger question is during the 60's and 70's I hitched a lot of rides from complete strangers and people seemed more trusting. Has society changed that much in 50 years?Jan 6, 2013 at 1:45 pm #1941240

I think you did a good thing. Most backpackers rely on a hitched ride on occasion. I'm often discouraged by how often people drive by and offer no ride. I didn't hear anything about your pre-ride end punter that would have discouraged me.Jan 6, 2013 at 2:22 pm #1941245

"My bigger question is during the 60's and 70's I hitched a lot of rides from complete strangers and people seemed more trusting."
Same here. To include a round trip from Los Angels to Colorado Springs in the 70's. 100% hitch-hike.
"Has society changed that much in 50 years?"
Unfortunately, I think it has. Also think the media has played a part with 24/7 coverage of the negative side of life. Oh well.Jan 6, 2013 at 2:32 pm #1941250

@alexdrewreedLocale: Kentucky
I bet its no more dangerous than it was years ago. I do think people are more afraid of others. I agree with Nick that news affects us a lot. If a hitchhiker did something bad in California, would probably hear about it here. Its a big country, though, and I bet statistically its still as safe as ever.Jan 7, 2013 at 7:42 am #1941416
Nick and Ben are right. Freakanomics did a podcast on hitch hiking and what happened to it. A very few horrific cases captured the public attention and suddenly the media and parents were saying "don't hitch hike" and it became a social norm to NOT hitch hike and to not give rides just as we were told to not eat before swimming or we would "get cramps" and suddenly be unable to swim which is also not true.
I often give rides. Usually it is a good experience for all. Sometimes, it is 10-20 minutes of awkward conversation.Jan 7, 2013 at 7:56 am #1941418

I was raised to help people like that, so I probably would have done the same thing, unless there was something obvious to get my spidey-sense tingling. If I was with my wife, would certainly have some self-protection utensils handy. Trust but verify.
And I have a buddy who, back in the 70s, thought nothing about walking to the corner and sticking out his thumb. Went all over the USA.Jan 7, 2013 at 8:38 am #1941427
So, would the OP give the ride again? Everything turned out fine – the hitcher got on his way, the driver helped someone out and got a good story out of it. But the tendency is to look back on an odd character as if it was a close call.
I worked with guy 20 years my senior. He'd been around in the 60's, done a few things, known (biblically) a number of women, and considered himself a man of the world and a good judge of character. The last ride he gave was decades before to a young woman hitching in Marin County going east. He eyeballs her at 35 mph, she's in a flower dress, a little hippie-dippy, but that was common in the early 70's. At the curbside, she seems fines, friendly, normal enough. And anyway, he's a guy, she's a girl, right? So he lets her in.
At first, she's a little vague about where's she's going – east on Sir Francis Drake. A little further, a little further. As they drive, the story comes out. She's going to San Quentin (California's maximum security prison) just before SFD becomes the Rishmong-San Rafael Bridge over the Bay. For a conjugal visit. With someone she doesn't know. She's a follower of Charlie. Charlie Manson. Charlie doesn't get conjugal visits because of a few things he did to Sharon Tate. But Charlie gets BIG points with other inmates if he can get young women to show and do the deed with whoever he says.
My coworker hadn't given rides since. Which is fine, his choice. But I observe that he was not only unharmed but got a one heck of a story out of it.
How would it be if we all played the same kind of "what-if" with our BP trips? I was a foot away from falling off down an 800-foot cliff. If it had been 10C colder, I would have frozen my bum off. If a gang of Hell's Angels had been 20 miles up the trail and intent on harming me, I'd have been defenseless. Etc. Etc. Or if we thought after hearing of someone pinned by a boulder and having to amputate his own arm, that the same thing would happen to us on our next trip, we'd never go backpacking again.Jan 7, 2013 at 8:58 am #1941433

"How would it be if we all played the same kind of "what-if" with our BP trips? I was a foot away … that the same thing would happen to us on our next trip, we'd never go backpacking again."
Very true. I just read a fascinating article on psychopaths, and what they can teach us. Some of it pertains to this discussion. Here's a related passage: "Mental toughness and fearlessness often go hand in hand. Of course, to many of us lesser mortals, fearlessness may seem quite foreign. But Leslie explains the rationale behind this state—and how he maintains it. "The thing about fear, or the way I understand fear, I suppose—because, to be honest, I don't think I've ever really felt it—is that most of the time it's completely unwarranted anyway. What is it they say? Ninety-nine percent of the things people worry about never happen. So what's the point?
"I think the problem is that people spend so much time worrying about what might happen, what might go wrong, that they completely lose sight of the present. They completely overlook the fact that, actually, right now, everything's perfectly fine.
"So the trick, whenever possible, I propose, is to stop your brain from running on ahead of you.""

Like others have said, one has to be there, in the situation, to judge for themselves whether it seems safe to stop and help a stranger. Generally, I'd be less inclined to stop and help a stranger if I had my family with me as opposed to a buddy or two or traveling solo.
That being said, just about a week ago, a friend and I were doing what was supposed to be a ~65 mile two-night loop through our local backcountry. We got through most of the first day's walk and found available fresh water to not be as reliable or abundant as we had hoped for. After finding yet another dry creek that normally would hold water, we opted to change our plans and hike out and then along a remote two-lane highway until we could find another creek with water. By this point, it was getting dark out and we were along the shoulder of the highway with headlamps on. It wasn't long before the first car passed us by, stopped and asked if we were okay and needed any help. We waved them on as we still expected to find water shortly. A few miles along and still no water, another car stopped to check on us. They ended up giving us a ride about 8 miles down the highway where we were able to pick up another trail and find some running water.
In this case, we certainly benefitted from the kindness of strangers and being given the benefit of the doubt.Jan 7, 2013 at 3:39 pm #1941567

@sarbarLocale: In the shadow of Mt. Rainier
I remember being a teen and my Dad pleading with me to never, ever pickup hitchhikers. He had his points. Anyhow, in the years since I can count on one hand how many hitchers I have picked up – they have all been on roads in NP's where the end of the road was to say, a visitor center. These have been folks sitting at a trailhead, dressed as hikers, who looked the part – and were looking for a ride back. Or smelly snowboarders. Too stoned to be a threat.
I will NOT pull over at night to help someone and get out of my vehicle – I will though be happy to call for help. I especially wouldn't do it if I had my kids with me. Even when armed. But that is due to being a female. It might sound harsh, but I wouldn't get out of my car for even a woman standing by a vehicle. She could have a man hiding.
One time years ago at a pass on a highway here, we had left one car while we did a one-way hike. We came back late, and next to my truck was a pair of guys who I had creep out vibes from. They were poking over their car, acting like they were "fixing" it. We were two ladies, one guy and a kid. I still feel if we hadn't had a guy along they would have been up to no good. They slithered up to us and started asking my male friend if he had tools (they didn't know it was my SUV). We got into the truck and locked the doors. And got out of there.
Now, having said all this I will admit I HAVE hitchhiked before. Only when hiking. Twice to close loops. Twice because of other issues. But…I was in an area where the only people out there were other hikers and hunters. One year, in late fall, on opening weekend for elk my hiking partner wasn't feeling good on day 2 (he ended up with the flu later). We hiked out a side trail off the PCT and I flagged down the first big pickup that came by. The guy, a local hunter, not only drove us out to the highway, but lent me his cell phone booster so I could call my husband to pick us up there. But…he was armed and to him, I am sure we looked like a pair of dorks – hiking in cold weather. Harmless idiots. I was carrying a full size 45 concealed though. Again, I chose carefully. Another time, due to heavy snow we hiked off the PCT down a long FS road and encountered a couple at a waterfall. Total city folk out for the day. I believe they took pity on us due to my having my oldest son with me, he was around 10 or so then. They were os nice they drove us back to our car even. Sheesh! But again, I was armed and I didn't have any freaky feelings.
I'll leave it to this: you have to listen to your 6th sense. If something isn't right feeling, something isn't!!!! Or read enough Ann Rule books and you'll be a lot more careful.Jan 7, 2013 at 8:52 pm #1941689

Nobody can know for sure, but in your case, I think you did the right thing. You had noticed the car on your way in — and again on your way out — so quite unlikely that you were dealing with an 'opportunistic criminal' baiting for a victim.
I don't know what it is about people these days… perhaps it's television bringing the most horrid of crimes into our living rooms and making it feel like crimes are happening everywhere, including (it feels like) right in our vicinity! But seriously, the chance of crime done unto you — out of 350 million people — is actually pretty darn remote. It would be a real, real shame to leave the poor soul in the cold dark night based on emotions elicited from pretty much unfounded fear.
You would think that of all the places in the world, it would the Israelis who ought to be most fearful of picking up strangers — esp. non Jews? Well, the few times I hitched a ride there, I never had a car pass me by without stopping. Once, it was a young woman driving alone. She wasn't scared at all. And I was grateful for their assistance.Jan 8, 2013 at 9:32 am #1941812
My last hitch was 6 days ago. From the end if an open-loop trail on Kauai so I could get the rental car and pick up the rest of the family. So I picked up the pace, passed a few groups, and then put my thumb out on the highway visible from the parking lot. A mom with kids who'd I'd given trail directions to gave me a ride to my car ( only 2 miles, but a narrow, twisty road with no shoulders I wanted to avoid).
Amazingly, we chatted about the big hiking news on-island that week – we'd both had our Na Pali Coast hikes cancelled by the authorities who closed the trail for a manhunt of a local guy who pushed a Japanese hiker off a cliff. But she'd met me, we'd talked briefly, she'd seen my family. As the rider, look to make some connection with the driver before the ask. That could be simply being a fellow BPer.

We do custom designs... If it is printed we can design it.
looks great! Nice work.
The heraldry in the type and royalty connection is very subtle and might be lost on some. (Lots of people use medieval looking typeface these days when there is no connection at all.) He might want to come up with some "corny" logo to highlight the idea... then again, maybe not.
I like it as it is.

Very nice, but I have to agree about the CS. I was looking at it wondering if it was a C, G or some fancy T, till I saw below that the name is Corey Smith. Don't know if it matters much since the number is on the card, so whoever has the card will just need that. Love the photo.
I guess I am wondering how that will look at buisiness card size. There seems to be an aweful lot going on in what will be a small space. I think that pretty queen will get lost and that the blurring of the surrounding bees will merge with the queen and she will stand out less. It might work better with a larger photo of the queen, more of a macroshot as it were.
I am no graphic designer though and have a personal bias to simple logos/cards/lables etc. I really like the beegeek stuff and the Savanah Bee Co. logos/lables etc - but hey, that is just me.
Overall I think everything works well with everything else and I think it would be a nice opening graphic for a webpage.
What font is that? (not the big letters, the bullet points

Bee Sting Honey - So Good, It Hurts!
Here's my two cents,
Overall, I think it looks fine. There are a couple of tweaks I would suggest:
1. Darken/add more color to the bee photo so it doesn't look so washed out. It will add more color to your card which is a good thing. It will also provide more contrast against the white line that runs thru it so it doesn't get lost in the photo.
2. Move the "Honey -Nucs" section down a bit so it is spaced evenly between the text above and below it or shrink the CS logo above it a little bit. Also, ever so slightly, increase the spacing between the text lines in this section, either that or kill the caps there and that will have the same effect. Actually, I think killing the caps is the better choice, in this section only.
What is the program you are using?

Once you see the bandwagon, it's too late.
I see why you washed-out the photo except the queen to highlight her. I think I would increase the scale on the photo a little - as it is now, the queen will probably be about 3/8" long or so. I would go bigger unless you are using photo quality paper and high-res. printing.
My thoughts:
Many colors=many dollars
Many styles of print=many dollars
Glossy look=many dollars
Are you going to get a good return from this card?
I use el cheapo from big box office supply store, something like 500-1000 for $20. I am happy with them. They have doubled as honey labels.
I just found this thread and was wondering if anyone would be willing to post a picture of their business card that they use or have used. I'm looking for ideas to have business cards made up for myself but I'm not a graphics guy. Perhaps you wouldn't want to post them on here, if that's the case could you still give me some insights as to what you include and how you organize things please?

I've never had the privilege of visiting thedentedhelmet until the other day when I was looking on the internet for HICs that people have built. A link to azheats build was given and I soon as awed by the ability to make a good looking prop without spending huge amounts of cash.
I am a member of www.501stsithlords.com (one day to build an ROTS Vader), 501st Spec Ops Detachment (currently working on a TX build), RebelScum, TheRPF, FX-Sabers.com, and other Star Wars sites.
As I am remodelling my office to suit my Darth Vader/Star Wars theme, my goal is to build a HIC as part of the display piece, as well as a life-size Boba Fett and Vader. Of course, these are all long-term goals and I look forward to pouring over all the valuable information that is on the forum.
Thanks for the acceptance and I look forward to learning from everyone.

Largest supermoon in 78 years soon in the sky
A worthwhile astronomy event is expected to take place in November, when the Moon will be as close to the Earth as it has last been in 1948.
On the eve of November 14, the Moon will appear up to 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter than an average full moon, ScienceAlert.com reports.
A supermoon takes occurs, when the Earth-Moon-Sun system coincides with the perigee orbit's side of the Moon facing us, and the Moon happens to be on the opposite side of Earth from the Sun, namely when a perigee-syzygy takes place.
Supermoons aren't all that uncommon – there was one on October 16 and another will be on December 14.
«The full moon of November 14 is not only the closest full moon of 2016, but also the closest full moon to date in the 21st century,» U.S. astronomers at NASA say. «The full moon won't come this close to Earth again until 25 November 2034».

A silly comment. If they are guilty of something then imprison them. You can't just deport someone unless the other country is prepared to accept them, and you can't just take a different nationality because you feel like it, regardless of your parents' nationality.

And when push comes to shove Finland will ditch Estonia to keep themselves safe as seen in the past. Keep NATO and stop ostrich behaviour. Finland dared not stand up to Russia during cold war and similarly now.

Thompson smg and semi thompson bbls at numrich and here and there.
Hey VZ or anyone else - I'm almost ready for the barrel and wonder about this one:
MidwayUSA - Douglas Premium Pistol Barrel Blank 45 Caliber Centerfire Medium Basic 1.200" Diameter Rough Turned 1 in 16" Twist 27-1/2" Chrome Moly in the White
It is $150 and 27" long... currently backordered
Any other good deals on 45 barrels?
Numrich has some pistol-sized barrels but not much else... I am going to build mine at about 14-16" and with a muzzle brake, it should be just about right. Problem is that I'm only finding pistol-sized barrels. That 27" barrel is obviously going to make a nice 16" barrel, then what do I do with the other half? Make a matching pistol?
I'd like to find even a 12" barrel... I can live with a 4" muzzle brake.

Good call! I didn't think about tommy gun stuff at Numrich. I got turned off when the only ones I saw were going for over $200:
Tommy Gun Shop / Accessories
TommyGunner.com - Thompson Tommy Gun Parts for sale
I actually found one at Numrich for $100:
Thompson Semi-Auto 16 1/2" .45 ACP Barrels?|?e-GunParts.com
and one for a little bit more:
Reising 50 .45 ACP Barrel?|?e-GunParts.com
That 16" Semi-only Tommy barrel should do the trick. I'm going to shape it to size anyway so I'm not worried about the fins. I'm really interested to see what kind of muzzle velocity I'll get out of a 16" barrel, since all the measurements I've seen were clocked on a standard pistol-sized barrel of around 5".
Do you have a reamer? I'm debating on renting one or making one. I don't have measurements - yet - for a reamer so I'm leaning toward renting at this point.

no reamer, will rent or make my own, just so buried under honey do list and trying to get a shop built at my house.
Will this work?? they have 35" blanks also.is 45 colt rifle same bore as what you are doing??
25" Round Barrel blanks .45 caliber Colt
Nope, that one has a 1:20 barrel twist. .45 ACP is 1:16 twist. They do have an interesting .45-70 barrel, however, so I may just have to give them a call. The .45 ACP and WM are both .451" diameter. The .45 Colt is the "cowboy" colt round, and it too is .451" (on the grooves).
That slow twist would work only for the lighter bullets. Say, up to about 200 grains. Standard ACP bullets are 230-240 grains, and the WM loads in the Hornady manual can go up to 300 grains.

45/70 will be .458"
Pookie, email me if you haven't already bought a barrel. I might have an extra.
A Co. Called RINELAND comes to mind,They make the Mauser conversions.Also Mec-Tec that makes the CCU for the model 1911 get them in SS. Top of the morning to you Sir.

Just did a mite treatment, lots of dead mites on pallet bottom boards. With the concern about viruses should we be doing anything additional?
Like, sanitizing the bottoms (with the dead mites on) with either a bleach solution ( 10 or 20%) or a sanitzer like is used in resturaunts & bars to sanitize glasses?
This also leads to another question, if hive does die from a virus infection, how long after the bees die off will the viruses be active and able to infect others?
Thanks, Larry

A nice article on what she's been up to and what her plans are. She seems very content with her life right now and that makes me very happy.
Here's the link:
She seems less guarded these days. Says what she thinks, not what she thinks she should say. Also seems as though she's come to terms with the Olympics - I hope she has, anyway. Good luck, MK, on whatever you decide to do - I just hope we all get to see her skate in more than just Cambell's. I wonder what she's skating to.
A very collected Michelle Kwan!
My impression is that she is going to fade away within the next few years. No real time for finishing yet, but before or by the Olys.
I wish her, of course, the best.
Thanks for the article, I really enjoyed it!! I liked how she spoke of the new judging system and said how she would not change her way and style of skating, just for the new system. I love that she is like This is me, this is my style. Just because the way they score is different, I am not changing. I liked how she handled the question about 2006 too. We know she loves to compete, so we will just hav eot see what happens!

Michelle fade away, Joe? "The Messiah won't come and Michelle won't go!" (Joesizt)
Great Article!
This is a great article. & I loved the way she talked about how she is when she skates. She is an artistic skater. & that is who he is :D
She knows what is important to her now & is taking time for herself.
I am happy to read that she does have both a new Short & LP. & that she is keeping her same team as last season.
I do hope that the event ( the Pro-Am) that she will skate in will be on TV.
I'm glad to hear she isn't ruling anything out, but just kind of "going with the flow". With all the injury's last year, I wouldn't be shocked to see her end up at grand prix event.
We'll see...
Can someone copy and paste the article into this thread? Thanks.
With five world figure skating titles, seven U.S. titles and Olympic silver and bronze medals to her credit, Torrance native Michelle Kwan is in elite company. But this summer, she's just another student toting books around UCLA.
The 23-year-old South Bay resident, who this year matched Carol Heiss' record for most world championships by a female U.S. skater, returned to the classroom after several years' absence. She's also training and working for Disney by making appearances at theme parks and movie premieres. She hasn't entered any Grand Prix events this season, but she hasn't ruled anything out.
Q: How long had it been since you were able to fit school into your schedule, and what's it like being back on campus? Are you recognized?
A: It's been a while. I really can't remember exactly. I was taking two classes, then one, then I stopped, then I competed. Last season, when I was competing, I couldn't find time because I was trying to find a coach and an ice rink.
It feels great. The class I'm taking is a discussion class, and I get to talk with my classmates. I forgot how much fun it is They know that I skate. A few people went to the Web site for [the movie] "Pirates of the Caribbean," and said, 'Were you there? We saw your picture.' To them, it was a big thing the red carpet, celebrities everywhere. Seriously, if you've been to one premiere, you've been to them all. It's a huge scene. You get out of the limo, walk along the red carpet, see a movie and then go home. You make sure that when you're walking along the red carpet, you don't have broccoli on your teeth. And your cheeks hurt afterward from smiling.
Q: What are your plans for the upcoming season, and will you continue to collaborate with coach Scott Williams?
A: Yes. He and I have been working, though not as much right now. I'm trying to take it easy. I went to Nikolai [Morozov, her choreographer] and I have short and long programs, but I haven't yet decided what I'll be doing. I have a pro-am I'm committed to [Oct. 3 at New York].
Q: And beyond that?
A: Besides that, I don't have many things planned. I may be going to Hong Kong again for Disney. I'm thinking about fall quarter classes to take and how I should go about planning things.
Q: After Salt Lake City, Sarah Hughes acknowledged that she found it difficult to balance elite-level skating, school and responsibilities to endorsers. She's going to Yale this fall and isn't competing in many events. How do you manage to balance all the demands on you?
A: It is pretty intense. It is difficult, especially when it's your first time. For me it was a complete shock. I was out of things socially, because I didn't go to high school I had a tutor and I had my own skating group of friends. I went from Lake Arrowhead to UCLA to L.A., living in dorms. It was pretty intense for her, I'm sure, and it will be intense if she's going to compete, to keep up with everybody and keep up your schooling and endorsements. And that's important, because you want to be a good spokesperson. To be able to satisfy everybody and be happy and do things socially and hang out with your friends, it is hard to balance.
I want to do everything, and that's why my parents make fun of me and say, 'You can't do everything.' You have to make time for things. I know I skate better when I have that balance. When I make time for friends, I don't go on the ice [feeling resentful]. It's harder for me to allow myself to have fun and go on vacation and enjoy myself. I haven't taken more than a weekend off. The more I wait, the more it's, 'Should I? I can't.' I go on the ice, even though I'm not skating very much. I might as well take two weeks off. I'm feeling I shouldn't, then feeling I should.
Q: What are your thoughts on the new Code of Points that will be used in Grand Prix events this season? It has been theorized that the cumulative scoring system will reward jumping over artistry. Have you changed the way you choreograph your programs because of the new system?
A: I just don't know what's going to happen. If they were going to use the point system at worlds, it would be different. If they're only using it at Grand Prix events, I couldn't imagine choreographing just for that.
It could be like, 'Here are my crossovers. Here is my lutz jump.' Then axel, salchow, toe loop. It's like a practice. For me, it's about the performance. And everyone skates differently. Will a huge double axel get the same points as a little double axel? How are [judges] supposed to analyze it and take it apart? That's what they're doing, picking at it. An outside edge is an outside edge, but there's different styles.
Q: Is it a matter of feeling your way through it as it evolves?
A: That's what I have to do. The way it's going, no one's certain that might be the way they judge at the Olympics.
Q: Which brings up the question that has to be asked: What are your plans regarding the 2006 Turin Olympics?
A: It's so difficult for me to give myself one route and one path to follow. I've done this for so many years, since I was 5 years old. My eyes were set on the Olympics and worlds. Now, it's sort of shifted, and, I think, for the better. There has to be a transition in some part of my life. I'm very fortunate because I have so many opportunities, and I have to weigh them all and see where will I have more fun?
Right now I'm playing it by ear. The Olympics have been my highlight the last eight years 12 years if you count 1994 [she was an alternate at Lillehammer but didn't compete]. It's been a dream of mine. I had a great experience and I might want to have that experience again. Or I might want to move on to something else, and it might not be as grand.
Q: You don't have to decide now, but does that make it easier or harder for you?
A: In a way, it's better to have no choice. It's good to have distractions like school and choices like movie deals and stuff like that that's always on the plate. That's not to say I'm going to act. I'm not going to say I'm going to do that. I might be bad and people might laugh at me. But you never know until you try.
People dream of that opportunity, to be for a moment in the background of a movie. It's kind of scary to have so many choices, but it's nice.
Wonderful article. Thanx for posting the link and for posting the article Mathman. I am just glad she is happy!! :D
Yes, thank you for posting that article!
thanks for the article!! It was good

BBA Infestation
[QUOTE=mr hyde;125628]My tank's been infested with bba for the last 6 months. I've been reading the advice on the board off and
You don't mention if you turn your injected CO2 off at night. From what I have read, BBA
develops in aquariums that have constant PH swings due to erratic CO2 levels.
This is especially true with DIY CO2 systems.
I have been using DIY CO2 with great success in growing plants, however, BBA has also grown all over my substrate due to the fluctuations in CO2 levels.
Of all of the algae I have dealt with BBA is the most difficult to eradicate, because it grows in tufts all over your tank and quickly takes over your substrate. It's not quite as bad as
a cyanobacteria outbreak, where you can literally see the cyano growing and creeping across the bottom of your aquarium right before your very eyes.
However, its bad enough. I got so fed up with trying to battle it that I removed the substrate in two of my tanks that had this problem, and now have substrate free tanks.
They take a bit of getting used to. However, the rimless aquariums in particular look very nice without substrate.
And it is much easier to keep the bottom of the tank clean since you only need to vacuum it once a week.
I keep the plants in these tanks in terracotta pots, and remove them once a week to soak their roots in a few inches of tap water infused with a capful of liquid fertilizer.
So not having substrate in these tanks isn't a problem for me.
I would suggest removing the substrate from your aquarium (after finding another place for your fish to stay for about 24 hours. Then I would break down your tank and scrub your
filter, tank, heater and anything else you have had in this aquarium to get rid of the black brush.
I would also suggest investing in a UV sterilizer since they do an excellent job of reducing the number of algae spores in the water column so that algae won't take over your aquarium.
*Hint: for removing those last tiny pieces of substrate from the bottom of an aquarium that you have chosen to keep substrate free, use some silly putty. You can create a flat piece of this clay and then press it onto the particles which then stick to the putty for easy removal. This is the best way to remove those lingering particles that you can't get with a
siphon or fish net.
Considering the zombie nature of this thread, I thought I'd add to it instead of make a new one...
Over the last 7 months of my heavily planted tank, the only time small amount of BBA have showed is when I have let the open top water evaporate to much , and therefore had to add alot of water for top off... I am following the Tom Barr non co2 method so top off only, which is currently RO water...
So from my experience thus far, it seems to be a fluctuating co2 problem... every time I add more water the stable co2 levels fluctuate, and if I add to much at one time the balance is tipped...
Until I added a powerhead my main algae was staghorn and oedogonium fuzz on leaf edges, but the increased floe and more amano shrimp cleared that up
Of course I had a recent large BBA attack on my driftwood which coincided with replacing my cfl bulb after 6 months... As of yesterday half of it is gone, all munched away by my single red ramshorn snail... at least I witnessed him eating it and the next day it was gone... Either that or my 12 amano shrimp decided it tasted good...
BBA is a helluva thing...
|I run my c02 as high as i can without killing my most sensitive fish. Many pelco and fish from fast running water will be affected at high co2 first since they need higher oxygen levels when i see a ribber lip pelco on his back panting for air i turnmy bubbler on for 1 min and turn my c02 back just a notch and wait an hour. My drop checker is always bright yellow since you cannot measure c02 at home realistically. Once my c02 is good i turn it off one hour after lights out and three hours before lights on so the level is at a constant during daylight hours. All my animals crayfish, shrimp badis, snails and plants are happy and free of bba. I only do this when i am going to be home all day so i have a good 12 hrs to tinker with the c02 to get it right. You dont need to worry to much it takes a long time for a fish to die from C02 so as long as you watch and be prepared to pump air in if needed your fish will be ok. And if you have expensive plants such as anubis, moss, java, i do a zip lock bag terrarium no water only enough humidity to keep the plant alive and slowly reduce the humidity over the next few weeks so the plant can dry out between waterings . I open the bag daily to let in more cO2 and wash as much bba off as you can and even a dilute amount of hydrogen peroxide on a qtip works in the back 10 min then rinse off works best on hard leaves.
I won the battle with BBA after I accidentally killed my fish with a too-strong H2O2 treatment. In my case, there was a direct correlation between fish waste and BBA.
My 40G breeder was heavily planted, with adequate filtration, pressurized CO2 and two UV sterilizers. Water was always crystal clear. During and after cycling I dealt with diatoms; some green algae on rocks and the edges of some plants; and minor green dust on the glass due to direct sunlight exposure. Adding 15 amano shrimp helped control that. Later I added fish: A dwarf puffer to control the snail population; 6 rummy nose tetras; 5 cardinals; and 5 gold tetras. About three months later, BBA and blue-green algae appeared, and the green dust became heavier.
I used peroxide and Flourish Excel to combat it, but it always returned within a week. About 7 weeks ago I increased the peroxide dosage, which unfortunately killed all the fish except the puffer; and killed 10 of the 15 shrimp. The plants fared no better: All melted except the Hydrocotyle 'Japan (which is tough as nails); about 30% of the glossostigma survived; the hygrophilia corymbosa was unaffected; and Staurogyne Repens seemed to actually grow stronger.
I let the tank sit untouched for a month to recover. During that time, the green dust/green water returned -- but the BBA did not. Not a single hair returned.
I did a 50% water change, vacuuming mulm and detritus from below the substrate. In the next week, green dust appeared again but at about half its previous growth level. Another water change a week after that, again vacuuming sediment from under the substrate, and subsequent green dust was at about 10% of its previous level. Repeated the water change/vacuuming yesterday and fully expect the reduction to continue.
The attached pic was taken a short time before the BBA outbreaks (starting on the leaves of the hygrophilia corymbosa). I will post some after pics after I finish minor re-scaping and pruning damaged/dead plants.
Note: Since the peroxide catastrophe two months ago I have added nothing to the tank except Flourish. The shrimp are living on algae and I assume the puffer is finding survivor snails since he is fat and happy. With no additional fish producing waste (and me not adding fish food), I am hoping I can maintain this balanced state indefinitely.
So, even with good filtration, two UV sterilizers, over-abundant plants and a (seemingly) moderate fish load, the algae won. To defeat algae, the secret appears to be to significantly reduce the animal bio-load.

Now tap water ph is soft with ph 7.6. BBA is attaching my ferns. Still struggling with it. Next step is to take ferns out and dip them in diluted seachem excel.
I have always been told low Co2 is the culprit. Mr Hyde has good Co2 which proves my theory that is an imbalance of some sort.

|My 75 gallon oscar tank was infested with bba a few months ago when I decided to try a couple plants in his tank. Now the plants are gone and I can't get rid of the algae. I read that overdosing Flourish Excel can get rid of it, but how much can I dose without hurting my large oscar? The initial dose I used last night was for 90 gallons. Now it says add 1 cap a day. How much more than that should I use?
|I did have high flow in my tank so I took out my power had circulating water. It seems to be growing less rapidly now but I also have a better co2 reg that gives more consistent output. So I'm not sure which that was. I might try adding it back
|I wish I could find Cause -> Effect in this thread (or any other). The search continues....
|I think this thread should be a sticky.can we do that mods?
|How's your flow? If you don't have even distribution of nutrients and co2 some times algae will grow heavier in slower moving water because the nutrients and co2 are not able to get to that area
