Thanks Bobby , we don't sell any of the accessories though . On our website , we have 2 other rifles besides the Katana with 4-6 factory options . Will
Hey Will,
I love the premise the Katana was built on. I want more though and I dont know how to build the full package of what I want. I think of it as a Katana on steroids.
I was looking at the Colt SP6940; a good name brand. Its .223 or NATO and accepts M-16 Magazines. 14 inch barrel and collapsible stock. I want the Red Dot Optic and a 3X magnifier behind it. I also want a Sure Fire pulse light at about 10 Oclock for a thumb touch. I definitely want a tactical sling. Night Optics would be awesome but likely out of reality. All of these could be bought anywhere; however, I want it to also to have dependable Iron Sights for a bad day. All the toys need to fold away or I can see myself using a tree to bash them off my rifle on that bad day.
I know that Colt is a quality gun, however, I dont want to pay their premium price and still take it to an expert Gunsmith (like you) to get it to Mil-Spec. I also dont want to play the buy-by-the-piece game and waste money with parts that dont match. Although I wonder what Manufacture platform you use, I trust that you would not sell me anything you would not deem reliable to protect my family.
I think theres a market for what I described. There is likely a lot that could be added that I didnt mention. You may have already built it and I cant find it. I can see that there is a long waiting list for Gunsmith creations and specialties. I would like to see you market the Ultimate AR-15. Ill buy the first one!
BTW: My daughter and I watch your show all the time. You caught her as you best fan when you made you statement about everything you built was for her (your daughter) and you would (lots of beeps) get rid of everything for her. My daughter looked at me and said that you sound like me. She was right; we both admire you and your Daughter. Yall are in our prayers.
God Bless,
Thanks Bobby , we don't sell any of the accessories though . On our website , we have 2 other rifles besides the Katana with 4-6 factory options . Will
Ok, maybe Will was the wrong one to ask. It seems he is busy with all he has on his plate already.
I would like to ask those who have successfully added accessories to their AR-15 to give the rest of us a description of what the tried that did not work and what they did that did work.
I was going to use a Colt SP6940 to start with, but I would like other suggestions and accessories. I'm starting with nothing and little knowledge. Any suggestions or advice is very welcome.
FYI colt Ar 15 rifle has two "large pin holes" for the trigger- hammer- sear, this does not interchange with mil-spec receiver. Mil-spec has two small pin holes.You need to buy "large pin" trigger parts if needed. Most AR 15 rifles will use mil spec small pin.
The colt upper and lower receivers two take down pins that are not mil-spec sized, it does not interchange with mil-spec AR 15 rifles without a offset adapter pin for the front hole. Most other AR 15 rifles brands are mil-spec.
The upper and lower receivers comes apart with only two take down pins, it takes maybe 10 seconds to push out two pins and pull up the upper half off the lower half, you can have extra complete upper barrel assy with long barrel and scope, a lighter shorter barrel with red dot, M4 barrel profile or other configerations you like, pull out two take down pins then take out switch the upper assembly and put in a differant upper half assembly onto your same lower half. You can have few extra uppers that will fit onto your lower make it multiple barrel rifle. Should only use same brand upper to match the same brand lower to get better fit, otherwise a differant brand may fit loose or tight and color don't match.
There are two most common AR 15 caliber sizes to consider, a 308 ( 7.62x51 mm ) cal and 223 ( 5.56x45 mm )cal. The larger 308 cal has a pretty good hard hitting bullet and it cost more, 223 is less powerful but has fast bullet and is cheaper.
Remember you must only use 16 1/2 barrel assembly and longer to stay legal otherwise you need proper paperwork, most barrels range from 16 1/2 inches to 24 inches. Be smart and research before you do anything. Check your local laws. Use your brain Good luck
Mr. Hayden, I shoot regularly and 5.56 can be a little out of my price range for the amount that I like to shoot. I have been talking to several people about the .22 conversion kits. Some say that the bolt carrier assembly is the best way to go and that I could use my same optics. However, others say to change the whole upper because the slightly smaller .22 round can create a wobble that will over time damage your riffling. Whats your opinion? Also I have a bump-fire stock that spits out the 5.56 rather quick and can be expensive really quick. Could I use that with the .22 round or would it not have enough recoil to work the stock?
I have seen YouTube .22 ARs that worked with bumpfire. I personally tried a S&W MP22 on my bumpfire stock and it would not work. Perhaps a lighter trigger, but I really doubt you would enjoy much success.
P.S. These are videos of his products. Watch the .22 AR testfire.
Not sure who is shooting that rifle, it's not D. Harris though.
Pastor Harris is the grey haired guy.
Bazooka Brothers Mfg.
His drum adapter is fun also. Tell him Kenny sent ya.
I'm pretty sure strobro32 on the UZITALK forum did a slidefire S&W MP22.
Pull up your pants, turn off that damn rap and speak clear English, if you want to talk to me.

Ex-soldier pleads guilty in infant stepson's death
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - A former Fort Carson soldier will serve 32 years in prison after pleading guilty in the death of his 10-month-old stepson.
Zachary Ryan Doggett pleaded guilty to fatal child abuse on Wednesday under a plea agreement with prosecutors. The Gazette reported that Doggett's voice cracked as he told the judge the decision to plead guilty was "mine and mine alone."
Police were called to the family's home Aug. 25 and said they found the baby unconscious, with numerous bruises and a fractured skull.
In court, Doggett didn't acknowledge harming his stepson. He said he had "permitted" the child to be placed in position where the boy could be injured and didn't call for help.
Doggett was in the Army when he was arrested but has since left.

This is my first year with bees. I built all my hives from scratch.
I received 4 Lang Nucs (2 different suppliers) about 6 weeks ago. I placed the frames in a transfer box (like this: http://thumbs.webs.com/Members/viewT...7749&size=full) with a modified warre box below it.
The problem is the bees in all 4 hives are not building down at all.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do?

What would we get for our 1st? Would it be worth it?
What would we get for our 1st? Would it be worth it?
We see this logic every year, the problem is that you need to have someone with a huge need to be willing to trade. Could happen but I think they stay with the hand they are felt....
Trading down doesn't make sense for the Giants at all!!!!!!! How does that do the Giants a better service by giving up the 19th overall spot and a possible great pick for who knows what later on. The Giants have always been a team that went for best available or drafted by need. This year i thinks it pretty obvious the Giants biggest need is personel to help them Stop the run. Worst Run D in the league last year it has to be addressed and addressed first round. Our CB overall werent that bad Webster was horrid but other than that they were not as bad as so many think. They could not stop the run and that killed them last year. alfred Morris,Ray Rice,Micheal Turner every game they lost they gave up huge amounts of run yardage!!!!! If you can't stop the run you can forget about stopping the pass. Run defense needs to be addressed with urgency if not they won't be making the playoffs again next year.
Well at 19 I am pretty surethe Giants can find a player that they feel is worth the 19th overall pick that they could use right away!!!! There are a few DT/NT that could easily go in that spot that the Giants could use desperatley. Giants have never traded down befor I don't see any reason to start now. Take what you can get at the position you are in rather than giving up your spot for an extra guy in the 3rd or 4th round. I don't like the idea of drafting down unless you have a team that is set and you just wanna pick up some extra depth. The Giants arent in that position.

Henry Purcell might not have approved Mark Morris's contemporary take on Dido and Aeneas, which the Celebrity Series brought to the Cutler Majestic Theatre last week, but he probably would have recognized it for its formality and anti-naturalism. The opera, completed by 1689 and based on what was little more than a footnote in Virgil's Aeneid, concerns the betrayal of Dido, the queen of Carthage, by one of the great explorer warriors of ancient times. A jealous Sorceress tricks Aeneas into forsaking his lover. Dido proudly rejects his offer to ignore his own destiny and stay with her. When he sails away, she immolates herself.
The opera condensed mythology's elaborate plot line, omitting the storms and shipwrecks, the politics of Mediterranean empires, and the rivalries of the gods, to concentrate on a love affair stained by fate and character flaws. Mark Morris reduced it even more, to eliminate the costumes, sets, and dances of Purcell's Baroque period. For his production, now almost 20 years old, he devised a modern masque for dancers in black sarongs and sleeveless tops. What's "authentic" about this Dido and Aeneas is its formal movement style and the choreographic interaction of chorus and principals. And the fact that it honors the music even though the fine singers and orchestra of Emmanuel Music, conducted by Morris himself, were out of sight of the audience.
All the stage movement is severely stylized, even the pantomime gestures that resemble their literal antecedents. When it begins, two women are seated stiffly on the ends of a bench. Behind them, nine other dancers are standing in a line. During the overture, the chorus advances downstage with rapid but imperceptible tiptoe steps and grandiose arm gestures. Like everything else that follows, each gesture is self-contained and bang-on a musical beat, and carved into the surrounding space like a frieze on a Greek amphora.
Dido's confidante Belinda (Maile Okamura), shaking her hands at the end of outstretched arms like someone shooing away chickens, urges her friend to shake off her despondency and welcome Aeneas (Craig Biesecker). When the hero arrives, the chorus dances and the lovers move closer together with an almost stealthy eroticism. It's like a standard ballet counterpoint between principals and ensemble, but the visual and rhythmic relationship is also a dramatic one.
Morris takes advantage of all the libretto's poetic contrasts to add variety and comic effects. Dido voices her forebodings while Belinda and the chorus offer entertainments and pleasant prospects. The witches conduct their malevolent revels while the court goes on a picnic. Lauren Grant, the smallest, earthiest member of the company, leads the sailors in a drunken going-away party. When the assistant witches (Elisa Clark and Noah Vinson) celebrate the success of their mischief ("Our plot has took. The Queen's forsook."), their hugs and high-fives are as patterned as a gavotte.
Casting Grant in sailor's drag is a charming conceit, but it isn't really shocking, because Morris's players have few individual differences. The small chorus of dancers play all the roles — courtiers, witches, sailors — as do the singers. The choreography modulates from decorous to sinister to rollicking, but it's always perfectly harmonized.

Cookies keep popping up all over the place; and no, I did not search to see if one was already started... :?
Do any of you want to share your favorite recipe here? One you love, or reminds you of your grandma's kitchen? It doesn't matter if it's a special holiday cookie; it could even be brownies (which technically aren't cookies, but they are just as good!); or your granny's secret recipe (as long as you're willing to share); a cookie you just can't live without.
Do you have a secrets you can share? Love to hear all that you have to say.
Here's one of our favorites to start with:
Chocolate Coffee Crinkles
Sift together:
1 1/4 C Flour
1/2 C Dark Cocoa (Dutch processed, UNsweetened)
1/4 tsp salt (I never put this in)
2 Tablespoons instant coffee
2 teaspoons baking powder
Beat together in another bowl:
1/2 C soft butter (use butter, not margarine or shortening, please!)
1 1/3 C light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Then add 2 large eggs. Mix well.
Now, add in 8 oz of melted dark chocolate.
Add all the dry ingredients, alternately with 1/3 C of milk. Mix well.
(this should have a chocolate mousse type consistency, very dark, shiny and dense).
Divide your dough into 4 parts and wrap in cling film/plastic wrap and put into the fridge for 2 hours.
Roll out 1 package at a time into a log (I actually put powdered sugar on the counter and then roll it out). Cut into 12-14 pieces.
Roll each piece into a ball and then roll in powdered sugar.
Bake on parchment paper on a cookie sheet for 12-16 minutes at 350°F. Let cool before removing from parchment paper.

Re: COOKIES ANONYMOUS
I bake...most definitely!!!
I'm just to accustomed to filching the ones from your jar to ever continue making my own!!
Here's one of my favs...
1 Cup Firmly Packed Light Brown Sugar
1 Cup Sugar
1/2 Cup Butter, Softened
3 Eggs
1 Tsp. Vanilla
1 Tsp. Light Corn Syrup
2 Tsp. Baking Soda
1 1/2 Cups Smooth/crunchy Peanut Butter
1 Cup Chocolate Chips
1/2 Cup M&M's
4 1/2 Cups Oatmeal
Preheat Oven to 350 Degrees F.
Cream butter and sugars together. Add eggs, one at a time, vanilla, and corn syrup. Mix peanut butter in by hand, then stir in baking soda and oatmeal. The mixture will be very thick. Lastly, stir in M&M's and chocolate chips. Using rounded teaspoonfuls, place cookies on ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees F for 10-12 minutes.
Cool a little and indulge with satisfaction!

Re: COOKIES ANONYMOUS

Re: COOKIES ANONYMOUS
I have never replaced the PB with anything else Mon,we have a certain affinity for it.
I imagine though,that you can replace the PB with caramel or dulche de leche...then leave out the sugar completely.
And sift in 1/2 cup plain flour.
That should balance it out nicely.
#8 Mon 18 Apr 05 2:53pm
Re: COOKIES ANONYMOUS
leche is milk...
PJ (like PB&J) = Peanut Butter (not a fan).
So PB&J = Peanut Butter and Jelly (sandwich, of course).
[don't care for those either, personally].

Re: COOKIES ANONYMOUS
cheers for the tip stef. i dont like pb but will have a go at those now!!
nor do i mont!

Re: COOKIES ANONYMOUS
Dulche de Leche is a type of caramel Mon...
It's kinda traditional,I think it has south american influences.
What you do,is take a can of condensed milk,peel off the label,stick it in a pan of water,and simmer for 3 hours,topping the water up occasionally.
Let it cool down completely...overnight would be best.
Pop open the lid...there you have it...dulche de leche!!
The milk would have gone all brown and caramelly.

I know it's late to place orders but I already have a package ordered and would like to start a second hive with a nuc. I have decided to run all mediums, so I was curious if anyone in my area might offer a nuc in mediums. I could even supply the hive components if someone was able to supply the frames. I would just like to keep everything interchangeable. Thanks so much for your help! Michael Bush's website has been invaluable, as has the information on here.

Foundation established for Waldo Fire victims
New effort called "Colorado Springs Together"
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - A non-profit citizen foundation has formed to provide more assistance to victims of the Waldo Canyon wildfire.
Colorado Springs Mayor Steve Bach announced the new effort, called "Colorado Springs Together," on Monday at Fire Station 18 in the affected Mountain Shadows neighborhood.
Bach said a group of 25 citizens created the foundation specifically to boost community spirit and provide resources for cleanup and rebuilding that aren't covered by insurance.
"We're breaking new ground here," said Bach. "There's no playbook for how to rebuild 346 homes in the same neighborhood that were destroyed by a wildfire."
Bach said the effort involves soliciting financial donations and may include federal funds. Some donations he described as "sizeable" already have been made and will be revealed soon, he said.
Bob Cutter, the foundation's chairman, said the effort is modeled after similar efforts in other disasters. He said the top priority is removing the debris of destroyed homes as soon as possible.
"We want to coordinate," said Cutter. "We want to help homeowners, not confuse them. They need a hope, a belief and a vision that they can rebuild. We want to make the process as simple as possible."
Affected homeowners generally were positive about the foundation, and hope it corrects what some believe has been a lag in important information about how to safely salvage remaining possessions, quickly and safely remove debris and when to start reconstruction.
"We don't know yet whether we're going to rebuild," said Georgia Moen, who lost her home in the fire. "There are too many unknowns."
Moen also elaborated on a question she asked during the announcement, about what the protocol is for safely sifting through debris to find personal items.
What are we supposed to wear?" she asked. "What kind of equipment do we use? What kind of outside help can we get?"
Kerri Olivier, a 21-year neighborhood resident whose home withstood the fire, said she's concerned about whether every neighbor will promptly remove debris because there are many absentee owners.
"There are going to be arguments between insurance companies and homeowners," she said. "That can take up to two years in the courts, I hear, to settle before they have money in their hands to deal with this. Meanwhile, there's ash blowing around--possibly toxic--and there's a flash flood danger."
Still, some homeowners said any effort that makes the process easier for neighbors still in shock at losing their homes, is a positive development.
Raymond Buday has lived in the neighborhood for 10 years and thinks the rebuilding effort will succeed. However, he doesn't plan to be there to see it through.
"My intention is to sell my property," he said. I'm 81 years old. I don't really have time to watch the development and take care of that."
For more information, visit the foundation's website at www.ColoradoSpringsTogether.org.

"Where they stand: McCain and Obama on repro rights," by Deirdre Fulton
"Personally speaking: Abortion and Life tells whole truths," by Deirdre Fulton
The circumstances of my abortion were incredibly mundane. I was 19 years old, a junior at a college in Boston, deeply in love with my boyfriend (J.), and doing well in school. I worked full-time at our school newspaper, heading there daily after class and staying regularly past midnight. I was taking birth-control pills, but my schedule — which forced me to value every last moment of sleep — made me irresponsible about taking the pills at the same time every day. Sometimes I would miss doses entirely and take two in one day to make up for it. Occasionally, I would have (what I didn't really think of as) unprotected sex; I believed I was protected not only by my inappropriately administered Ortho Tri-Cyclen, but also by young-adult invincibility.
I found out I was pregnant on a Sunday, thanks to a home-pregnancy test that I bought at CVS after discussing with J. that my period was late. I don't remember being nervous about taking the test. But when I saw the results — positive — I left my dorm suite bathroom and literally crumpled to the floor just outside the door, weeping out of fear and for the decision I knew I would make.
I wasn't ready to have a child. That's it. Not financially, not emotionally. There was nothing else to think about. I called J., called Planned Parenthood, and scheduled my abortion for Halloween 2002.
My memories of that day are unformed. They aren't fuzzy, or hazy, as people describe memories; I believe they literally never took shape. I know that we walked to the Planned Parenthood clinic across the street, and made our way past the protesters who stood — only a few strong — in a cluster outside the state-designated "buffer zone." Inside, I found out that I was approximately six weeks pregnant. I know that a Planned Parenthood doctor gave me one RU-486 pill at the clinic, and another to take at home. (I'd decided to have a medical abortion, rather than a surgical one, because I thought it would be less physically painful and less invasive — more private. Also, I was within the eight-week time frame when it's still an option.) She warned me that shortly after taking the second pill, I would experience some pain.
Back at the dorm, hours later, I know that I writhed in my twin bed, suffering from debilitating, convulsing cramps. My roommates, best friend, and boyfriend hovered around; they brought me pain killers, Tiger Balm, hot-water bottles, and applesauce, and all the while they stroked my head and conferenced in the background about how I was doing. I bled profusely as my body rejected the fetus that had been described to me as "the size of a grain of rice." I threw up. And finally, I fell asleep.

Building your success with essential skills
This guest blog post is provided by the Office of Literacy and Essential Skills, which aims to improve the skills Canadians need to adapt and succeed at work.
Did you know that you can help boost the productivity, innovation and overall competitiveness of your business by following three simple steps?
STEP 1: Learn about the nine essential skills and how they contribute to your workplace success.
STEP 2: Identify skills gaps that may be impacting your business by conducting a needs assessment.
STEP 3: Improve these skills by using learning and training supports.
Essential skills are necessary in every business in Canada, whatever the size, and for all jobs – regardless of position or level of responsibility. In fact, the skills you need to succeed in business are the essential skills you use everyday. For example:
- Reading – enables you to keep up on current business issues and trends

Jo Garcia's Top Zelda Videos
Jo counts down the best videos inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
It's a huge week for game releases! Of course, Dungeon Siege 3 is finally out. If you haven't seen my Dungeon Siege 3 dungeon crib video, you should definitely meet my sexy dungeon wenches and see my preview of the game. Also, I'm going to be playing Dungeon Siege 3 on Xbox Live on July 1, so look for more details here soon and maybe I'll get to play against you.
Shadows of the Damned, F.E.A.R. 3 and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D also hit stores this week. Shadows of the Damned seems poised for greatness and F.E.A.R. 3 continues an awesome first-person shooter series. And as for Zelda, for most of the last three decades, the adventures of the Link made for challenging and groundbreaking gaming. I looked up Zelda videos on YouTube to get back into the world of Hyrule and get excited for the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D.
Before you set off for another ride on Epona, check out some of the badass viral moments that Ocarina of Time has inspired. And be sure to check out my Twitter Tuesdays, where I talk about the latest video games.

Robin Williams's Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D commercial
Robin Williams and his real-life daughter Zelda Williams appeared in this awesomely fun commercial for Legend of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time 3D.
Life with Navi
Navi's first appearance in a Zelda title was in the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time. As this animated short shows, she can be kind of annoying and offer some all-too obvious assistance, much like a certain Microsoft paperclip.
Fan-made Ocarina of Time Covers
When Shigeru Miyamoto's team put a musical instrument at the center of a time-traveling Legend of Zelda adventure, they probably never imagined that fans would take to YouTube one day showing off their ocarina skills on real ocarinas and homemade varieties. This one is my favorite.
Legend of Zelda Movie Trailer
IGN brought the internet to a halt on April Fool's Day a few years back with this faux movie trailer based loosely on the story of Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
Hyrule Field Map in Halo: Custom Edition
Halo: Custom Edition lets players create their own maps and the Hyrule Field map from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is one of the must-have custom maps.

"Fix It" creates financial hurdles for some school districts
A bill passed by lawmakers this year aimed at helping the Idaho school districts may not be as big of a help as initially intended.
Today some school districts met to discuss House Bill 65, also known as the "Fix It" bill, and how it might be more of a hindrance for some school districts around the state.
The American Falls school district is not alone when it comes to figuring out how to balance a budget with practically no more money left for them to spend.
"I think most school districts are in survival mode," American Falls School District business manager Dan Wolfley said. "In order for our education to survive, we have to get more discretionary money to pay the increase in operating the schools."
Today the Pocatello-Chubbuck school district held a work session to discuss the best way to start paying-off their bills with a bleak budget.
"What they need to understand is that it does not do any good to have more math, science, or whatever else – more technology, if you can't pay," Region 5 chair Janie Gebhardt said.
District 25 Superintendent Mary Vagner said the 2.2% funding increase appropriated to them by the legislature can be misleading.
The district will only see $170,000 of that total sum to help balance their budget, when they are currently $2.5 million short.
Vagner, along with the American Falls school district, said the money allotted to their districts come with stipulations. A percentage of the money must only be spent as the legislature directs. This means spending on professional development programs and even on new technology required for the classrooms.
"We are grateful to be able to do (that), but our priority is to be able to pay our bills right now," Vagner said in response to how the money should be spent.
"We don't even have money for textbooks in our budget," Gebhardt said.
Ron Bolinger, the American Falls school district superintendent said the entire state has seen a decrease in spending, and this has been a problem since 2009.
"I think that is a well-kept secret that the amount of state funds coming to schools on a year-to-year basis is just not there," Bolinger said.
So now districts are trying to figure out ways to cut the fat and earn that money without having to resort to cutting jobs or wages.
Bolinger said the American Falls school district is just one out of 14 school districts who has not yet had to cut any jobs, and now more than 80 districts have had to resort to the dreaded 'f'-word: furloughs.
There are 115 school districts in the state.
He also said Idaho ranks last when it comes to the amount of spending on students as compared to the rest of the nation.
Wolfley said the district is currently trying to cut $368,000 this year, which is approximately four-percent of their budget, in order to hold up their end of the agreement in obtaining the $660,000 from the government to help pay-off their pending expenses. However, their overall budget requires $1 million to get over that fiscal bump before they can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
He also said the district is thankful for the help their local patrons donated in order to help obtain this goal.
But with the stipulations placed on the money given to the district, Wolfley said this money is just as good as prepaid funds, and the total number of dollar signs they received in order to put toward their budget came in to the tune of a mere $19,000 from the government.
Meanwhile, the school districts will continue to discuss ways to overcome these financial burdens, and they say they are grateful for the money that has come in, nonetheless.

Hi Guys, seeking your feedback / advice for a commercial wax melter.
Currently & embarrassingly using a 'crock' pot type device that melts about 2 litres at a time, I get to make a small number of poured candles at a time, but we need to increase, plus the crock pot doesn't clean the wax as much as i'd like, can't use solar melters. Whilst the cappings wax we purchase is in pellet form, there is still dust, dirt/grit and other particles in the wax that we want to clean out.
I've done some research and came across three brands that seem rather respected: Dadant, Maxant and Carl Fritz out of Germany.
Welcome advice about the right path we should take, as we live in Australia there is no real suppliers here and prior to committing to an order and paying costly shipping, I want to make sure that we're going to purchase the right machine for the purpose we need.

text: For me, the thing I like most about Sigs are the ergonomics. They fit my hands better than anything else. Not inexpensive, but solid, accurate, and reliable. My P220 will eat anything. Once you spend some time with a Sig, most other guns feel kind of cheap. The engineering of Sigs is a cut above most guns. That's not to say other guns are crap though. Sig aficianados are a little different than most gun owners, I think. I liken it to smoking a great cigar, or a glass of 18 yr old Scotch whiskey. Not everyone can appreciate those things, or afford them. I like to think of us who are afflicted with the Signess as an exclusive club. If you can't tell, my Signess is terminal.

Howdy y'all! First post here, from East Texas.
We started a top-bar hive last spring. We have left them alone for the most part, letting them do their thing. A few weeks ago we decided to check on things and learned that they have built their combs ACROSS the bars. What do we do now?


text: I live in ne texas and have had 5-7 hives for the past 10 years. Lost all of them within the past two weeks due to beetles. I had never heard of this insect until a few weeks ago and by then it was too late to salvage the hives. Hope to start over next spring.

First Look: GeForce GTX 780 Ti
GeForce GTX 780 Ti is a top-end discrete graphics card for desktop computer systems, available for $699.99 (Newegg | Amazon) online. NVIDIA has built the GeForce GTX 780 Ti specifically for high-performance hardware enthusiasts and hard-core gamers wanting to play PC video games at their maximum graphics quality settings using the highest screen resolution possible. It's a small niche market that few can claim, but also one that every PC gamer dreams of enjoying.
Like the GeForce GTX TITAN it's modeled after, GeForce GTX 780 Ti is a dual-slot video card that measures 10.5″ long and 4.4″ wide. Sharing a nearly identical appearance to GTX TITAN and GTX 770, GeForce GTX 780 Ti also features the same GK110 GPU used in both those top-end video cards. Similarly, GTX 780 Ti also supports the following NVIDIA technologies: GPU Boost 2.0, 3D Vision, CUDA, DirectX 11, PhysX, TXAA, Adaptive VSync, FXAA, 3D Vision Surround, and SLI.
In addition to a new and improved NVIDIA GPU Boost 2.0 technology, GeForce GTX 780 Ti also delivers refinements to the user experience. Smoother FXAA and adaptive vSync technology results in less chop, stutter, and tearing in on-screen motion. Adaptive vSync technology adjusts the monitor's refresh rate whenever the FPS rate becomes too low to properly sustain vertical sync (when enabled), thereby reducing stutter and tearing artifacts. Finally, NVIDIA TXAA offers gamers a film-style anti-aliasing technique with a mix of hardware post-processing, custom CG file style AA resolve, and an optional temporal component for better image quality.
Fashioned from technology developed for the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN, engineers adapted a slightly tweaked design for GeForce GTX 780 Ti. The two cards look virtually identical, save for the model name branded near the header. A single rearward 60mm (2.4″) blower motor fan is offset from the cards surface to take advantage of a chamfered depression, helping GTX 780 Ti to draw cool air into the angled fan shroud. This design allows more air to reach the intake whenever two or more video cards are combined in close-proximity SLI configurations. Add-in card partners with engineering resources may incorporate their own cooling solution into GTX 780 Ti, although there seems little benefit from eschewing NVIDIA's cool-running reference design.
GeForce GTX 780 Ti offers two simultaneously functional dual-link DVI (DL-DVI) connections, a full-size HDMI 1.4a output, and a DisplayPort 1.2 connection. Add-in partners may elect to remove or possibly further extend any of these video interfaces, but most will likely retain the original reference board engineering. Only one of these video cards is necessary to drive triple-displays and NVIDIA 3D-Vision Surround functionality, when using both DL-DVI and either the HDMI or DP connection for third output. All of these video interfaces consume exhaust-vent real estate, but this has very little impact on cooling because the 28nm Kepler GPU generates much less heat than past GeForce processors, and also because NVIDIA intentionally distances the heatsink far enough from these vents to equalize exhaust pressure.
As with past-generation GeForce GTX series graphics cards, the GeForce GTX 780 Ti is capable of two-card "Quad-SLI" configurations. Because GeForce GTX 780 Ti is PCI-Express 3.0 compliant device, the added bandwidth could potentially come into demand as future games and applications make use of these resources. Most games will be capable of utilizing the highest possible graphics quality settings using only a single GeForce GTX 780 Ti video card, but multi-card SLI/Quad-SLI configurations are perfect for extreme gamers wanting to experience ultra-performance video games played at their highest quality settings with all the bells and whistles enabled across multiple monitors.
Specified at 250W Thermal Design Power output, the Kepler GPU in GeForce GTX 780 Ti operates much more efficiently than NVIDIA's previous generation GPUs. Since TDP demands have been reduced GTX 780 Ti runs cooler during normal operation, and has move power available for Boost 2.0 requests. NVIDIA has added a "GeForce GTX" logo along the exposed side video card, and the LED backlit letters glow green when the system is powered on. GeForce GTX 780 Ti requires an 8-pin and 6-pin PCIe power connectors for operation, allowing NVIDIA to recommend a modest 600W power supply for computer systems equipped with one of these video cards.
By tradition, NVIDIA's GeForce GTX series offers enthusiast-level performance with features like multi-card SLI pairing. More recently, the GTX family has included GPU Boost application-driven variable overclocking technology – now into GPU Boost 2.0. The GeForce GTX 780 Ti graphics card keeps with tradition in terms of performance by producing single-GPU frame rates second to only GTX TITAN. Of course, NVIDIA's Kepler GPU architecture adds proprietary features to both versions, such as: 3D Vision, Adaptive Vertical Sync, multi-display Surround, PhysX, and TXAA antialiasing.
GeForce GTX 780 Ti's GK110 graphics processor ships with 15 SMX units: good for 2880 single-precision CUDA cores clocked to 875 MHz that boost to 928 MHz. That Boost Clock speed is based on the average GeForce GTX 780 Ti card running a wide variety of games and applications tested during production – so your speeds may vary. The memory subsystem of GeForce GTX 780 Ti consists of six 64-bit memory controllers combined to create a 384-bit lane, which use 3GB of GDDR5 operating at 7000 MHz data rate to produce 336 GB/s memory bandwidth. GeForce GTX 780 Ti's fill rate reaches 210 GigaTexels per second across the backwards-compatible PCI-Express 3.0 compliant graphics interface.
GTX 780 Ti's exposed printed circuit board reveals an otherwise sparse PCB backside with few exciting features. Many of NVIDIA's latest products have used less and less PCB real estate, with GTX models occasionally needing nothing more than space for the fan. Because of the optimized Kepler GPU, GeForce GTX 780 Ti does not benefit from any surface heatsink or cooling plates.
In the next section, we detail our test methodology and give specifications for all of the benchmarks and equipment used in our testing process…

Has anyone tried to put a Avalanche rear bumper on their truck? Does anyone at least know if it could be done before I spend the money to try it?

I have been a lookylu on this ride, but I love all the quilts and wished I would have jumped in at the beginning. I think I will jump on for the next ride. I'm sure I won't be disappointed and my scrap pile could be put to good use.
Judy, am I going to able to use just three colors as long as I have a variety of fabrics, or does it need to be total scrappy? I have a variety of red, white and black based fabrics. I wouldn't be concerned if it weren't for an auction to raise money at the Cystic Fibrosis dinner dance. I like colorful scrappy under normal circumstances.
I still need to finish the last set of blocks. First, I was sidetracked with Chirstmas. Now, I'm sidetracked with charity blankies (blankets), and then it will be clean up the sewing room so I can walk through it without breaking my neck. So, there you go...will post a picture when I get it done. Right now, January's looking good, but hope for sooner. :-) And hey, join in ...lurkers are fine, but these train trips are nifty!!
I finished slow but finished the back today for this quilt. I had opted to piece what I had left into something to make a back for this. I however had odd sizes left so it was a strip 4 inches, a 29 x 42 and a 4 inch and then another piece and a 4 inch then the bottom half even scrapper but kept with long length and 4 inch wide and then wider then 4 inch hodge podge of use it ups.. and it works looks very good for scrappers and well I was happy sorta I didnt go out and spend another 25 for backing. I was working with what I had to begin with. I am also not fond of all the pinkys in this so buying MORE and leaving me with some leftover well how good an idea would that have been? I did weight in tonight gee hours making this work vs one big old piece cut and tada your done.. there are advantages. I still think.. the price was right for this time of year. NO extra expenses. I am going to use the 45 degree angle pieces for the binding. and its going to work perfectly :) crossing fingers. I am a bit apprehensive about stuffing that size quilt into my sewing machine for quilting. lots of tight rolling. and patience. oodles of that too. ok off to cook dinner and maybe pin a quilt!
Attachment 381902Here is my top all done and I love it! I love the way it turned out. I don't know if the picture is to dark because the border is a dark chocolate brown not black. Thank you Judy. I can't wait for the next train trip!
Jannie, hope to see you in a couple weeks when the new one starts.
AnngelAnn - Beautiful!!! I love it, too, you did a great job.
Irish, absolutely no reason why you can't have a scrappy 3-color quilt! I think it will be great.
Quiltaddiction, it looks great, love it:thumbup:
Everyone's tops/quilts are coming out lovely.
Judy, thanks for doing this. I am a maybe on the quick scrapper or commuter train mystery in January. I am trying to finish this one. The blocks are up on the design wall and I keep going back and forth on whether to keep it as is or divide and conquer. So I have been working on getting a binding on a UFO that I quilted at Thanksgiving.
If I finish it I can take it with me at Christmas and quilt it on my Mom's long arm.
I do plan to keep my ear to the ground for the spring Mystery Train though.

When I mentioned the MVP, I was talking about that on top of what he's done. Not just one MVP award. Whether we agree that Eli is elite, we probably all agree that he's pretty damn good.
As for Parcells, I have to give him credit for evolving with the game, although, early on I thought he was a terrible offensive coach. Many times I felt we won in spite of Bill's coaching decisions.

There is a cagillion ways to skin a cat. Form tool is for consistancy and speed cutting rims reguardless of method. The main benefit of keeping the mandrel and form tool in a stationary state is consistancy with rim face. Cuz it locates off the rim face and it doesn't matter about case length even changing from 22-250 to 308 all rims will be the same. Once set only an in out cutting movement is needed. (same primer pocket only).
1BG I am going to guess your question is about what keeps the rim from spinning when the tool makes contact? That where the stippling comes in. It is simular to knurl but is done with a sharp punch on mandrel face where it drives rim face. Combined with tailstock pressure allows the mandrel to grab/dig into the face. Using this method you will get the "FEEL" of how fast to feed the tool and how much pressure is needed to prevent case slippage. When setup there is no need to stop spindle as left hand inserts case while righthand tightens talestock. Left hand turns cross slide while pressure is applied by right hand on tailstock ("FEEL"). Right hand loosens talestock an left removes finish rebated casing. REPEAT.
The drill press method would require a fixture with a bearing that the mandrel would be mounted, inline with the spindle. (Bolted to drill press table). A brazed on carbide square shank form tool would be needed. Tool would be set in a slot in fixture milled at tangent or slightly below centerline. Method#1 For feeding the tool in and out a fine pitch screw (8-40?)could be used by tapping a hole into end of tool and rigging up tool stops, feed knob, etc hardware. Method#2 A lever could be mounted and a spring used for dampining to slow feed. For driving this mess, an internal mandrel would be need with a rubber or urethane to spin the brass via the case shoulder. Using the left/right hand method above no stopping of spindle to tighten or losen anything would be needed. This fixture has the same idea of consistant tool to rim face idea. Case length doesn't matter.
I agree BFD if your making 50 cases it's not worth while but 1BG idea of multicaliber AK combined with a rifle that will throw brass would equal a LOT of cases. There is no glory in turning rims.

One of my ancestors was Oliver Brown who served in the Revolutionary War and moved his family here to Concord, Ohio in the early 1800's. Many of his family and descendents were among a group of pioneer families that settled in NE Ohio and started some of the earliest communities in the area. I stumbled upon a line of his that took me back to John Brown I who was born in 1312 in Stamford England.
Most of my ancestors were from Germany and they immigrated to the US in the early 1800's. I don't speak or read German so I have not been able to do further research in archived German records. I welcome any suggestions.
Wondering if there are any other genealogy buffs out there. Any interesting lineages you've discovered in your family?

Today I had another extremely interesting anthropological experience of American culture. I went with some other people from the magazine - my editor Stephanie, her husband Kelly, Kyra and Liz - to the Minnesota State Fair, an annual two-week gathering cum farm expo and amusement park that attract thousands of people every day. It is mainly a huge excuse to eat vast quantities of deep fried food, usually served on a stick.
I am working on the pictures I took as I am writing this entry, which I see as being more photo-driven than anything else. You have to feel the same kinda of amazement I got to live on the day, I just hope the set of images I'm putting together will be enough (I wasn't particularly inspired on the afternoon spent at the fair, and am really tired right now...).
I might add more info at some stage, but for the moment enjoy the pics and Stay Tuned.

My first offical pentest - Writing contract
But since I havn't worked by contract before I would like a nudge in the right direction when it comes to the contracting-part.
Bottomline on the test:
A company that offers hosting and webdesign is in the need of a pentest on their webplatform which include sites designed and coded by them that is hosted on their server.
So basically I will do a "full" pentest, excluding password-attacks and DoS-attacks.
The only thing I get down in the contract so far is:
- The company permits me, under a period of time, conduct the pentest.
- All information and results are confidential.
- As a result of the test, a presentation with the admin which include fixes.
- The test will be conducted within the companies network.
I know that I'm missing ALOT but I would really need someone to nudge me in the right direction.


text: Recently purchased a used 2001 Suburban. Attempting to lower the wheel, I was unable to get the end of the tool to 'grab' or 'seat', when inserted up the tube. I aimed a flashlight up the tube, and from as well as I can see, it appears as though there is something(metal) sheered off, at the end of the tube just above the wheel. Is there any "backup method" for getting the wheel down? Granted, I may be looking at replacing the wheel lowering mechanism, or at best extracting whatever some previous owner broke off up in there, but for now, I'd settle for just getting the wheel down. Any thoughts, ideas, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! -Gary

Bristol Motor Speedway busy getting ready for race weekend
BRISTOL, Tn. - In just a few days, the cars and stars of NASCAR's top divisions take to the high banks of Bristol Motor Speedway.
But before the green flag flies, work is being done all over the Speedway property to get ready.
Speedway shuttles, traffic cones, and directional signage were all being deployed Wednesday morning.
"We're getting our golf carts ready, our radios, we're going to be setting up our cones for transportation in and out," says Steve Jackson, Event staff supervisor at BMS. "We gotta get the parking lots ready, roping off where people aren't supposed to park too."
Steve tells me that the track has been going seven days a week for the last three weeks with a staff of nearly 80 workers.
"On my team alone, some of our guys on a weekend can work 60 hours in two or three days,"says Jackson.
Workers braved strong winds, cold temps,and even a few snow flurries Wednesday morning.
"It takes a lot," says Jackson. " It's a lot of little things that people never really realize that go into getting this track ready for each race."
Things like staking down hospitality tents in the parking lots with help from a jackhammer and tying Ford signage to fencing around the property.
Others were busy getting ready for the racers' arrival.
" Just 24 hours ago, I was in Las Vegas, Nevada," says John Chambers. "I left Las Vegas and drove to Fontana." Chambers is a motorcoach driver for JTG Daughtery Racing.
Chambers flew from Fontana to Charlotte, picked up another motorcoach from the JTG shop and drove to Bristol. Chambers does a bit of everything at the track, to make the team's home away from home more comfortable.
"I do all of our dry cleaning, laundry, whether our driver needs a suit cleaned or anything like that," says Chambers. "I fold an iron sheets and pillowcases. You name it, we do it."
Chambers also does the grocery shopping and cooking. He says he probably cooked for 850 people during last race season. John says he wouldn't do anything else, but the job takes its toll.
"I left home this year January 1st, and I'll get off the week before thanksgiving, "says Chambers.
There was even activity inside the track. Goodyear was laying out tires for the Sprint cup series. One tire tech tells News 5 WCYB that between the Nationwide, Sprint Cup and K&N East series, they will go through nearly six thousand Racing Eagles this weekend.

If you are a Canadian citizen who holds any other citizenship, you should know that the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration is pushing to pass a law that would render you a second class citizen. You may not feel threatened by this bill as you may never see yourself in a position where you would be accused of committing acts of terror or war, but this bill is declaring your citizenship to be worth less than your fellow Canadian.

text: Started my first hive this spring, a nuc and its doing quite well. Not a lot of flowers around right now so I thought I would give the new hive a boost with some sugar water. I am using a chicken watering container with small rocks in the trough to prevent drowning. I was surprised how quickly it was going down. As a new beekeeper, I really did not know what was normal consumption. But, now I was at the point that they could easily go through 2-3 gallons a day! Tonight around dusk I went to check on it (its located about 10ft from my hive on a table) and noticed this "bee superhighway" heading out into the air north-east away from my hive. Guess what is north-east? Yup, a neighbor about a block and a half way who happens to keep bees. Just never occurred to me before that I might be feeding the whole neighborhood!

Discussion in 'Chevy Truck Talk & GM News' started by pikefisher, Apr 9, 2013.
What forum do I ask a question for body work ? Need rust treatment advise.
This one's as good as any. Are you wanting to pre-treat to avoid rust ... or dealing with rust that's developed?
Thanks: I tried to head off rust on the bottom under door I guess the rocker panel? It did do some good over the winter but rust is starting to bleed threw. I took the rust off last summer applied a rust killer called Extend, used primer from a spray can and applied a bed liner chip guard. I realize I will need to start over but is their something I can use to kill the rust better? Or maybe better primer.
I have a friend at a body shop in the Davison, MI area. We discussed this the other day because I have some rust on the inside lower parts of my doors. He said that their permanent fix is to sand blast the area clean, apply an epoxy based primer and then repaint the door. I will be attempting this myself this summer with the final coat being rattle can touch up paint. It is inside the bottom of the door. If I screw it up no one will see it anyway. I have also heard that "Rust Resolver" is a great product. It is supposed to chemically turn the iron oxide into an inert paintable product. I have never used it, nor can I find it anywhere
I looked around on the web for "rust resolver" and found that rustoleum changed the name to rust reformer.
As I understand it the underside of the rockers are a constant problem in our trucks when exposed to sand, salt, and brine. I don't live where the weather is hell on my truck, so I can only give you -some- info. There are others, here, from up north who will probably have additional insight.
With that caveat, I'm a big believer in using Eastwood products after mechanically removing as much rust as you can. In particular, I've used the gel rust dissolver, fast etch, rust converter, and heavy duty anti-rust coating -- in that order on parts where I was conducting both rust removal and follow-up prevention.
As with anything in the paint world, the durability and end result is all in the prep work-- so I don't skimp. For me the gel rust dissolver is a precaution -- to make sure it removes anything I miss during mechanical removal. The fast etch is a nice surface prep application that leaves behind a phosphorous coating -- I like it as a pre-primer, since it lets me stop my work if need be. The rust converter is effectively the primer. The heavy duty anti-rust coating (3-5 coats of it ... then allow to cure for 24 hours before driving) seals the deal, as it leaves behind a self-healing, almost waxy anti-rust film.
Doing it well the first time can save you time in the long run, as you need not go back and repeat. Keep in mind, though, that if you're in the salt/brine regularly, then every 1-2 years you should re-apply the heavy duty anti-rust coating. The nice part is that if no rust has developed you just clean what's there and then reapply.
Thanks for the tips I'm going to look into a sand blaster rental and use some better products from that company.

Good luck
Good luck
kopelia, any updates?
Well the gentleman I am working with tore the wall apart and did not listen to any advice I had gotten here. The bees are still in the wall but slowly moving up into the box after I put some comb on the frames after removing the plastic sheets. I had to do it while the guy was gone, but I had to go w my gut and what I was told here. I hope with this mans 40 plus yrs of beekeeping he knows what he's doing.
I will post pics as soon as I get home as I am at work and on my phone.
Here's a few pics of what's happening so far...
The Wall:
They go all the way down to the bottom of the wall.
Forgot to get a pic of the comb I put into the frames, but I checked them this morning and there were tons more bees in the box now. Also took out five frames. So three have comb bits on them and two with the beeswax coated plastic. I had no idea the amount of bees in that wall! I also put the top back on the box properly. He started with the two small holes on the bottom and tried to smoke them out up into the box. We got one of the blocks off and I used the comb from that block. It was empty...I'm hoping they were about to fill it up. Another piece of comb had tons of pollen all in the cells so here's hoping they don't just rob it and take it back into the wall!
Nothing to report yet, the wall still looks the same, bees happliy flying in and out full of pollen...there has GOT to be a queen deep in that wall and probably all the wa at the bottom. As for the man who was supposed to help me, he made the mess ou see and then left for two weeks for vacation. It has been very rain down here in S. Fla lately so the bees have been very aggressive and also it's not the best weather to be smoking and cutting up a hive! I am now coming to the conclusion that the entire wall needs to come down as I have seen scouts in empty cells in the cinderblocks, so they are definitely thinking of expanding. Is there anyone in the Ft Lauderdale area that would help a girl out? I still really want to save these bees as I have already invested a bit of time and money into this. Or else if it comes down to it, anyone who wants to come and get these bees I'll just take a jar full of honey and a nice piece of comb in it. I'm getting kind of frustrated because evertime the weather is good the guy isn't around or if the guy is around the weather is bad. ARGH!
don't give up I would keep going with the box on top if it gets full of bees you could add a queen and have a hive started
Took a look inside today since it was the first clear day in about a week and no bees inside. The comb was brown and smelled kind of funny so I took it out. Funny thing is, a few hours after that some if the larger bees were flying in and out of the box. So we will see what happens. I'm headed over there now just to observe them as its sunset. I'd like to see the full scale of the hive as I've only been able to see it in the hottest part of the day or when it's overcast and the bees were very jumpy. They are pretty mild otherwise and let you get pretty close. I'll try and post a few pics for you of some close ups of the hive as soon as I can Patience pays, right?
Oh by smelled funny I mean like fermented. Or rotten fruit.
I haven't read the whole Thread, so excuse me if this has already been covered. Can you get ahold of a bee vac?
Mark Berninghausen
No, the gentleman that is helping me is totally old school, like from the village old school....I suppose one could be made. It's just my fiance and I at this point now, until the man returns.

At first glance, members of the Warriors Watch Riders may seem like just another group of tough guys with leather jackets and bandanas on motorcycles. But these motorcycle enthusiasts are dedicated to a greater cause: making a conscious effort to live with gratitude toward war veterans and those defending our country.

The Warrior Watch Riders are such a blessing.They welcomed my youngest son, Joel, home in June 2012 for his sister's wedding after he had done 2 tours in Iraq.And again in January 2013.Both times his brother Tito who also served in the Army in IQ was able to be included in the celebration.To see their appreciation of the kindness given by these dear people made me so happy.Wish I could throw a big party to honor the Warrior Watch Riders for all they do and how they encourage our hearts and at such a time as this.God bless you in Jesus' Name.

PAUSD parallels?
Original post made by Shirley and Chesley Douglas, Old Palo Alto, on May 15, 2007
While many students may be denied their lunches, learning tools, etc., one man and his family will be languishing in luxury with their house, moving and car allowances, health benefits and eventually, a generous retirement package. Is this really excellence in education?
For the superintendent and his assistant, it is, while our children (and our own are long gone from the system) suffer the sacrifices. Come on school board, let's get some priorities going in the right direction here!
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on May 15, 2007 at 1:01 pm
Not one kid who qualifies for a free and reduced lunch will miss out on food.
McDonald's meals, which are not nearly as healthy as our school lunches, cost more and include less.
At Paly, the kids cross the street and regularly spend more than the lunch cost at Paly.
Teachers with equivalent number of years of a new Super make $80,000 per year and great benefits also..not begrudging them at all, but at the same time, I don't think 3 times that for the boss of the entire district is exhorbitant, especially for one as experienced and well-rounded as this one, coming into a district fraught with divisiveness and demands of parents.
So, though I understand the place you are coming from, I totally disagree with you.

on May 15, 2007 at 1:15 pm
While I agree that everything is very expensive, people more so than anything, I don't think paying below market for senior leadership is wise.
To paraphrase the late Tip O'Neil, "Palo Alto ain't bean bag" which is to say Mr Skelly will have to earn every penny in order to be successful in leading the District.
a resident of Crescent Park
on May 15, 2007 at 1:17 pm
Dear Shirley and Chesley, Thank you for your concern for the PAUSD students. Rest assured that no students will go hungry, there is a reduced and low cost lunch program, plus the staff keeps an eye on any unforseen issues (children forgetting their lunch, a short term $$ problem, etc.) As far as I know, none of our schools are missing to much "stuff". With the cost of housing in PAUSD, 1 million is not much towards a house, I wish we could supplement all of our teachers so they could live in Palo Alto.

I don't have a problem with the salary. It's probably what a superintendent costs. The loan to buy a house, though, is outrageous.
a resident of Barron Park
on May 18, 2007 at 8:13 pm
Why do you say that, JFP? The City Manager has similar, no? I presume it is part of the standard package if you want senior civil servants to live in PA.
I expect the PAUSD can borrow at a fairly low rate (5%? 7%? not sure), so the cost $1M loan is about $50-70K/year. I'm not sure what the terms are - do we get shared appreciation?
a resident of Midtown
on May 22, 2007 at 5:56 pm
I say the loan is outrageous, because he doesn't need it given the salary. For that salary, he can rent a pretty nice place, if he can't afford to buy.
a resident of Crescent Park
on May 22, 2007 at 6:44 pm
JFP To rent a decent house in PA with room for 4 kids is expensive - craigslist (how most rentals are advertised locally) currently lists 7 four bedroom homes in PA ranging from 5500 to 9500 a month.

Binghamton University welcomes Turkish dual program students
Binghamton University welcomed its first group of Turkish students as part of a new dual diploma program this fall. For the 2004 – 05 academic year, the University has 27 students from Turkey participating in the program. The students completed the first year of the program at Binghamton University's partner universities in Turkey and are here as sophomores.
Twelve students are majoring in information systems through the Thomas J. Watson School of Engineering and Applied Science and 15 students are majoring in global and international affairs through Harpur College of Arts and Sciences.
The students represent all four of the University's Turkish partners:
Bilkent University in Ankara
Bogazici (Bosphorus University) in Istanbul
Istanbul Technical University in Istanbul
Middle East Technical University in Ankara
All students are living on campus and are actively engaged in campus life including clubs and sports teams.
Next year, the current group will return to Turkey for the third year of the program and the University campus community will welcome between 150 and 180 new sophomores from Turkey, in part because Binghamton will be adding a dual diploma program in management to the current course offerings.
When the program is at steady state, Binghamton University could have as many as 360 students from Turkey here at a time - half of them sophomores, the other half seniors.

Its true that Wester didnt have a good season especially in the second half but he was not alone, the WHOLE defense was terrible. No pass rush, not good at stopping the run. We were 31st in the NFL 383 yds a game. So not fair to put so much blame on Webster. Many players on D had bad seassons and keep in mind when a CB makes a mistake or has a bad game it stands out much more than any other position. You never know, but i dont think he gets cut. That would leave us with only Prince and Hosley, no depth and no cap space to sign a free agent. He's been a solid CB for us for many years. If the D can improve as a whole he will be fine and he gives us experience and leadership considering we have such young CBs.
redundant thread
"Measure Twice......Cut Once"
You couldn't be more full of **** if you were break dancing in a Port-a-Potty.......Kruunch
I guess we still have to watch highlights of Webster getting burned again.. ugh


text: This is my Quarterback Rankings 1. JaMarcus Russell- Nice size, arm strength, accuracy, and a little mobility. He's mobility reminds me of Culpepper but has the arm of a Bryon Leftwich. He's my top player overall. Needs to stay consistent and stop hesitating from time to time. 2. Kevin Kolb - This guy has what it takes. I believe in two years or less this guy is a sure starter that could be really effective if he works on his mobility. He has a nice arm and good play reading ability that could take him along way in the NFL. He's the more safer pick at Quarterback but I think he's going to be from the 25 to 32 pick. I think he's going in the first round. 3. Brady Quinn - I feel as if his stock is really dropping because of the lack of performance in the combine and it is questions surrounding him about his arm strength. He might be this year's Aaron Rogers. I do think he's a sure bet for the first round. Overall Brady Quinn is a great leader that is proven on the college level and he has what it takes to be a starter in the NFL. 4. Drew Stanton - I think that after his combine and college skills workouts his stock is rising fast. His mobility is real good. His arm has been powerful and accurate. In two or three weeks he probably will be talked about as a possible late first round early second round draft choice. 5, Jordan Palmer - Is a raw quarterback that could be a gem. What he needs to work on is his footwork. He has an arm that could do some damage on the next level. With a good workout from the combine and his college pro day I think he's a mid-second to late third, basically a first day guy. 6. Troy Smith - Really doesn't have the typical size to be an Quarterback but haves the arm and tools to be a starter. With his lack of height it makes it complicated on the next level to get the ball over lineman like Chris Canty or Julius Peppers. In the NFL, Troy Smith probably will have to find alot of lanes to throw the ball. If committed I think he could eventually in a year or two be a starter. I think he will be drafted in the second to fourth round draft choice. he reminds me alot of Seneca Wallace. 7. Isaiah Stanback - This guy has great footwork and nice size. He has the arm that could stretch the field with good wide receivers. Accuracy is one of his main specialties. It would be a gamble to take him because he has had a serious foot injury that could reoccur. I say he's a day two pick but some team out there could take a chance on him in late day one. 8. Jordan Beck - Is limited with mobility but has the ability to read blitzes and all types of coverages. Cause of his adaquete size at 6-2 he get his balls batted down because he can't find a lane because the lack of good mobility. If he works on his mobility and footwork on the next level he could be a good quarterback for years to come. 9. Jared Zabransky- With his lack of size and accuracy he seems like an unpromising prospect. With his speed, quick release, and ability to read coverages he seems like he just one coach away from being successful on the NFL level. If he works hard at getting his accuracy together he could be a good prospect. 10. Jeff Rowe - Look as if he has what it takes to be an starter but being from a school like Neveda you have to ask yourself what type of competition he faced? I think he could be a sleeper pick that a team with an option to get an back-up that could be developed for a period amount of time. I believe if he's thrown in the fire he could handle himself.

[quote user="dezzzR"][quote user="MattMeyerBud"][quote user="dezzzR"]Its not hard to sell it to me, he said. You look at the film, you kind of
take the big picture out of it and you look at the small picture, you look at
individual plays, concepts of plays (couuugh, defense) watching on film we got to get
better. Eli
So unlike Eli to call out the defense......
did he actually cough and say defense
cuz if he didn't, then he didnt say anything that hes not suppose to say.[/quote]we all know what hes talking about
its amazing how you can try and twist the most generic, give the media nothing, say the right thing quotes to try and actually mean something.
Not for nothing, i doubt he was JUST talking about the defense. I would say the offense as well considering that we were dead last in the NFL last year in rushing.
