If all it took was a phone call and some cash to get things like the RPK74 drum mags, 60rd quad stack 74 mags, and Bizon drums then someone surely would have done so by now.
In theory, all you have to do is find someone with the mags to sell them to you, then get an approved Form 6 (import license) for them. In reality, there is a 1996 trade agreement with Russia in effect which prohibits the import of most milsurp arms items like parts kits and such. They specifically exempted the Saigas and a few other "commercial arms" which is why we can still get those, as well as ammo. IIRC, you have to provide proof any controlled Russian origin item has been out of that country several years before they can even be imported from a different country. Ask 4thIDVet about that, he tried getting some russian origin imports in from SE Asia a while back.....
In addition, Russia pissed off the US state department a while back by selling naughty toys to countries we don't play nice with, so they cut off the legal imports too. One of the reasons Saigas, Wolf, and other Russkie ammo disappeared for a while. Either those sanctions have been lifted or they found a workaround since the stuff is flowing again.
Russian - American Armory Company
This is the offical importer of Saigas
Don't know about the ammo side of it.

SSI imports Wolf ammo, they don't appear to have a website.
Maybe Comrad Chavez in Venezuela can crank out a few export mags and parts for the US market ??? No ??? He is getting a brand new AK plant installed down there. No wonder comrad Obamo is being nice to Hugo these days.
I got out a ruler and did some experimenting with my AK. A buttplate, a 12+ inch mag, and space for my wrist moved the rear grip pretty far forward, even for my apelike arms. I punted and ordered the 50-round mag.
Don't know if anyone seen this

Looks like the short magazine will be perfect. Length is
7-1/4", but the diameter is less than I thought - only 2-1/4".
It's about the same size as some of those "energy drinks" in
the aluminum cans, or maybe a large pepper grinder.
If you want to flip the cartridges around to feed Bizon style, you *might* be able to grind a bit and make it work, but it looks like you'd need to grind the existing feed lips away and make a 1/4" or 3/8" high tower. The plastic magazine is plenty thick; I'd figure two or three 8-32 screws on each side would be sufficient.
The end of the magazine is relieved slightly so the cartridge doesn't have to pop all the way out the top before the bolt strips the cartridge off; that's why a short tower would be handy if you were stripping in the opposite direction.
The Calico mag is kindasorta octagonal, with thick longitudinal ribs, and looks nothing like a smooth Bizon mag, though as I mentioned earlier a little cosmetic work might make it a bit more similar.
Ok...I think I'm going to have to get me a Bizon mag to play with so we can answer some of these questions.

Is this the right career for me
Im a regular participant amongst the forums and an avid IT security fanactic, i got my CEH more than a year ago and have been looking for a basic level job in IT security at the moment its a real pain to find any job in the IT as you all know. I previously have experience with designing wifi networks for the retail industry and performing SBS migrations.
I'm kind of at a stand still at the moment,most of my time is spent studying and researching and getting experience with as much as i can with new technologies, tools and attack vectors. And now i'm having difficulties propelling myself to the next level onto topics such as reverse engineering or the advanced topics of ethical hacking, im frustrated!
It's not that i'm not interested, i just have nothing to push me, are there any study groups or any advanced forums going at the moment where i can interact with others and gain new challenges.

Dad arrested after missing Texas child found
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo - The hunt for a man and a stolen child crossed state lines and ended in Colorado Springs Thursday. Police took Gregory Sturdivant, 24, into custody and put him behind bars.
The arrest involved his 19-month-old son, Alecxavien Zapata. The child was living in Corpus Christi, Texas, with his mother.
The toddler was returned to his mother, Sabrina Louise Zapata, in Texas. She hadn't seen her son since he was taken in January.
"It's just so surreal," said Zapata.
On Wednesday night, someone called police after seeing Alecxavien's face on the news. Police went to a Colorado Springs home near Pikes Peak Avenue and Chelton Road around 10:30 p.m. Police said they found the child, but Sturdivant got away.
"I prayed that he was with people that knew what they were doing and once they learned the truth that they would open their heart and that they would do the right thing," said Zapata. "And it happened."
Police say the child was unharmed and appeared well-cared for.
The hunt for Sturdivant ended in downtown Colorado Springs near Colorado Avenue and Cascade Avenue. Police took him into custody around 10:30 a.m. Thursday.
This isn't Sturdivant's first run-in with the law. The man has theft, possession of marijuana and failure to surrender a child charges on his rap sheet from Texas.
Sturdivant may have been living in Colorado Springs for some time. A University of Colorado Colorado Springs police officer talked to Sturdivant two months ago on campus. He asked a UCCS police officer for information on how to enroll and about its family assistance program.
Sturdivant will be extradited to Texas, where he faces felony charges related to Alecxavien's kidnapping.

If you ask me, you just bought the best gun Taurus makes. I had one myself until my nephew scammed me out of it crying about not having a good 9mm to shoot.
I have a green Lasermax sight and Black finger groove grips
If you ask me, you just bought the best gun Taurus makes. I had one myself until my nephew scammed me out of it crying about not having a good 9mm to shoot.
All my friends want one now too! I really like it so far already got about 600 rounds through it not one problem! Pretty light gun for the size of the frame, but feels very solid in hand when shooting. I'll be keeping this one for a long time
How you like the fit and finish and tightness of barrel and slide on your PT?
I've held only one in a shop and that particular one didn't blow my skirt up, but I've held other taurus metal frames that were pretty slick and well finished.. might have just been that one sample.
Finish is real nice, as is the machine work, some complain that to much rattles around on the pt compared to the berreta and that sometimes there is left over metal pieces stuck on the gun from machining. The day I picked up my gun from my FFL dealer he had the equivalent newest berreta 92 waiting to be picked up and I held both and still liked my pt92 better. The barrel is real tight, a little looser when the slide is racked back, if you have small hands the grip might be a little wide, but Im 6'5" and have huge hands so it suites me fine.
What i really like about the gun the most is the exposed barrel, the awesome SS polished finish, large frame but very light in weight, has been really accurate and nothing rattles around while blasting, and accessory rail!
Not to mention anyone who has this gun will agree that it is the easiest gun ever to dissasemble!
I havent found a flaw yet and Im going blasting on sunday again, i'll report back with the results
I have the very same gun and am dissapointed in the accuracy of it. Yes I"m a new shooter but I have had many other people shoot the gun and they all shoot like me. Low and to the right. The barrel of mine has some wiggle, to be exact it has .031" up down, left, & right. When looking at the front of my gun the barrel is resting on the bottom left. So I made a little brass shim and super glued it in place to raise up the barrel and center it in the slide. It has improoved the accuracy a great deal, now I can believe any error is operator error. I also have picked up two other Taurus models, 24/7 pro and 24/7 oss both in stainless and both in 9mm to help keep ammo costs down.
I'm not complaining, just sharing what I have found with my PT92. Did you know the Berretta or Taurus PT92 style gun is approved for combat use. Combat use means it can not fail to function so accuracy takes a back seat.

Saw this in another forum.Cliffnotes: OP drives an evo and is aggrevated by getting constantly "inspected" under the hood in SoCal.OP- Just because of the car i drive, does that give the officer the right to search my engine bay? Is my car or myself being profiled as a streetracer? I do not street race.
If the officer asks me to pop the hood, and I do not give consent for him to search my car, what are the consequences of saying no to consent? Is a warrant required for an officer to search my car or will the officer have the car towed if i say no
MD Cop-Just as an FYI I profile your POS rice rocket and YES I would have you pop the hood. It is not a search in MD to have you pop the hood. I am allowed by MD law once I have my PC for a stop to conduct a FULL vehicle inspection on the side of the road to include driving it for a breif distance if I so choose to. However thats a bit much. Poping the hood looking for the turbo or the NOS tubes is plenty enough for me.
If you refuse? Then you get to go to jail for failure to obay a lawful order and I yank you through the vent window, you go to jail, and I impound your car......after I inspect it.


text: Same here. I find that I often get tongue-tied when I'm speaking to strangers, especially if I'm talking fast. My words often trip over themselves, and then later on I think, darn it, only if they knew how I could really talk! I never had that problem with term papers, though.

UTSA Spotlight: Music professor John Silantien serves as Library of Congress lead researcher and editor
By Ashley Harris
Public Affairs Specialist
(June 6, 2008)--UTSA music professor John Silantien was selected to serve as a lead researcher and chief editor by the Library of Congress (LOC) and the American Choral Directors Association (ACDA) for a project that will digitize American choral music of the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
The researchers will select choral octavos from LOC holdings and write prefatory (or introductory) materials. The materials then will be digitized and placed online to be readily available for conductors free of charge as part of the library's "American Memory" series. The LOC plans to make more than 1,000 public-domain works available through the project.
"For project researchers to sort through that large volume of pieces, study their historical and musical value and make select octavos readily available to modern choral conductors would be of immense value to the discipline," said Silantien.
Silantien has taught and conducted choirs on the secondary and collegiate levels in Texas, Washington, D.C., and the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, N.Y. He holds a doctor of musical arts degree from the University of Illinois.
His awards include a Rockefeller grant for choral conducting at Aspen, Colo., and a Fulbright award for research in London, England. He serves as director of choral activities at UTSA and director of the San Antonio Symphony Mastersingers. Additionally, Silantien is listed in "International Who's Who in Music" and "Who's Who Among America's Teachers."
Choirs under Silantien's direction have been invited to perform before the Music Educators National Conference, American Choral Directors Association, Texas Choral Directors Association and Texas Music Educators Association. In June 1997, the UTSA Madrigal Singers toured Brazil, performing at major venues in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. His orchestral conducting credits include performances with the San Antonio Symphony, San Antonio Pops and New York's West Side Chamber Orchestra, as well as CD recordings of three Mozart piano concertos with the Moscow State Radio Orchestra.

very good location, perfect actually :)
nice room, nice neighbours.
Maybe one thing minus -> no shower.
Nice apartment in sopot center. Close to the beach. Clean and tidy.
Fin leilighet i sopot sentrum. Nært stranden. Rent og ryddig.
Dear Sirs
The apartment had a great central location, it was everything we needed available, and it was very clean.
However, a major drawback was the garbage disposal, which has picked up on Friday morning at 4:00 clock on Saturday at 6 clock and on Sunday at 6.00 clock in front of our apartment the trash.
Yours sincerely
Barbara Mächtle-Brown
Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren
Das Apartment hatte eine super günstige Lage, es war alles was wir brauchten vorhanden und es war sehr sauber.
Ein großer Nachteil war jedoch die Müllabfuhr, die am Freitag Morgen um 4.00 Uhr am Samstag um 6 Uhr und am Sonntag um 6.00 Uhr vor unserem Apartment den Müll abgeholt hat.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Our summer looking for the longer, we have chosen the family apartment in Sopot, and were enthusiastic about having Equipment, Service and weather very much! This was a great holiday in Sopot! The sea is 10 minutes walk through the Polnochny Park. All malls close as Bedronka, Lidl.
The apartment features such as IKEA Still.
From negaitve moments: the fridge was completely "frozen", but "it does not hurt." We have it even cleared. Nevertheless, everything was great !!!
Always recommend Wimdu!
Unseren Sommerurlaub nach den längere suchen, haben wir die Familien-Appartement in Sopot gewählt, und waren mit Ausstatung, Service und Wetter sehr begeistern! Das war einen schönen Urlaub in Sopot! Das Meer in 10 Minuten durch den Polnochny Park laufen. Alle Laden in der nahe wie Bedronka, Lidl.
Die Wohnung Ausstattung wie IKEA Still.
Aus negaitve Momente: der Kühlschrank war komplett "eingefroren", aber "es tut nicht weh". Wir haben er selbst geräumt. Trotzdem alles prima!!!
Immer Wimdu empfehlen!
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
It was a completely successful vacation, the staff always ready and nice, the apartment was also very good, there is no krtikpunkte

Wenn mehr auf die Sauberkeit geachtet würde,wäre alles perfekt!,
Spacious 3 bedroom apartment with good standard. A bit worn from some previous guests, but overall nice. Well equipped kitchen for both cocking and dining. Location is ok, but it is between railway and road so a bit more noice then average. Very short walk to the start of main pedestrian street thru the center of Sopot leading to the pier. Approx. 10 minute walk to the beach.
+ Grocery store just around the corner
+ Nice host with conveniant check-in/check-out
- Only 2 set of keys given

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by webz, Nov 9, 2012.
Since we're talkin about the Lakers...they should call Kuester...or Plaid suit guy.
Hey I was at Staples today .....(to see the Clippers beat the Hawks), and yes even the conscessionaire staff and parking attendants were still pining for a Phil Jackson return. (By the way the floor was flipped in less than 3 hours in time for the Laker-Kings game.) But as stated earlier, Phil wants to skip some practices and virtual coach the team from home on some of the road games. For this he wants $10 mill per year for 2 years or 2 chances to get the 12th ring. The assumption is that he would get new coaches and Brian Shaw maybe the designated road coach...probably at only $2 mill per year. Hey why not give Bernie Bickerstaff a shot? As the interim coach, he has two straight double digit victories over the those two up and coming NoCal teams Warriors and Kings
It looks like that Kobe & Co. won't give anybody a shot but Zen.
Just here gloating about the fact that I called it.
Yep, Panda called it. D'antoni it is. Lakers hire Mike D'Antoni as next coach - Yahoo! Sports This actually is a good fit. Probably the best shot D'antoni will ever get at a ring.
A no defense type coach for a no defense PG.... probably best fit for talent, but not sure a better fit for a title come next June.
I think Phil made it clear he was going to be a pain in the @#$ with all of his demands.
Mike Brown sorta reminds me of Wayne Fontes for some reason. ...Maybe a more competent Wayne Fontes.
I know the Laker fans in LA are upset about Phil not getting the job, but seems like the media is upset too. The report was that Phil was all ready to take the job this morning, but his agent was informed last night that the job was going to D'Antoni. Looks like they are catering to Nash/Howard and his ability to get the team clicking on all cylinders with the pick and roll. But the what about defense?? That was one of the issues in the first few games. This team is mission fail when it comes to competing with good teams. No bench, so if any of the top five get injured it may be a struggle. Also there is a money difference here. Phil, $20 M for 2 years, D'Antoni $12M for 4 years.... Here is Bill Plashkes take from the LA Times.. .Why Lakers' hiring of Mike D'Antoni is bad, in 7 seconds or less - latimes.com
I suspect the real reason they didn't go with Phil is because the GM/ownership got tired of being portrayed as kowtowing to Kobe Bryant. Unless anybody really believes that they ran the triangle offense by the end of Phil's tenure.
Combine the money with travel restrictions, personnel decisions, ownership stake, and an offense that doesn't fit. D'Antoni will certainly be under the spotlight.
Buss thinks of himself as the man and was probably irritated at Jackson's negotiation (travel restrictions, might have wanted some ownership stake, etc.). O'Antoni finally has a job where he will be judged purely on whether or not he gets a title. Scoring some points won't get him there.
I never said I disliked him, and I agree he is a great coach. He knows how to deal with today's egotistical professional athletes. I just think he has turned into one of these egotistical sorts, too. He asked for a ton, and I like the fact that Lakers said, "Forget it, Phil." The Lakers are selling it as D'Antoni fitting better with the current roster. I don't believe that. I think certain members of the Buss family don't like Phil. Obviously, not Jeannie.
They ran 'the Kobe'. And it sucked. I think this is a common misconception about D'Antoni. ESPN doesn't help by talking this kind of trash. D'Antoni teams rely on transition and pace. Thats why they appear to be a lax defensive team. But I suppose their approach is just 'score more than the opponent', rather than to reduce the scoring ability of the other team. Its just as valid as playing defense first.
I heard they rejected phil cause he wanted Cupchak to iron his shirts on the road.
Phil wasn't even going to go on road trips...
I know.......but Cupchak woulda had to have gone...and to keep busy, he gets to iron.
Oh you guys.
Unless you want to win a championship and then not so much. It will be interesting to see how far the Lakers get. This is one of the better teams ever to try and play that style. A lot of old legs though.
Separate names with a comma.

Since there has been a serious lack of building and shooting going on in my life lately, I took up a new sport. Spearfishing! Well, I just got a speargun last weekend, but for the past month or two ive been using a 3pc breakdown 6ft pole spear. Too much fun.
Speared this guy in about 8 feet of water in some grass. California Corbina!

Brothers Keaton and Wesley Stromberg and their close friend Drew Chadwick have been making music together since they were kids growing up in the small town of Sequim, Washington. They decided to form a band and called themselves Emblem3.
Last year, they entered The X Factor, a televised singing competition. They made it to the finals, and the experience changed their lives. Emblem3's debut album, Nothing to Lose, came out on July 30. The band recently sat down with TFK Kid Reporter Phoebe Weintraub to talk about their music, their tour, and the key to their success.
Congratulations on the release of your new album, Nothing to Lose! How does it feel to finally release the complete album?KEATON:
It's truly amazing to finally release the album. This is the first record we have put out, and we are so stoked for everyone to hear what our new sound is. We hope everyone likes it.
It's basically a dream come true. We have been working on this since we were 9 and 11 and 13. We have been dreaming of this.
What is your favorite song from the album?
My favorite is "3,000 Miles." It is just really heartwarming, and it relates to how I am feeling.
What is the idea behind the name of the album,Nothing to Lose?
Basically, we went on the TV show The X Factor, and our mindset going into it was that we have nothing to lose and it is just a game. If we didn't make it past that first audition then we would have continued to make music and would be back where we started.
How is the tour going so far?
The tour is going great. Every show is packed. Everyone is rocking out, and every show is awesome. On August 14th, we start touring with Selena Gomez, which is really cool. We are stoked about that.
You're performing in lots of cities. Are there any stops you're especially looking forward to?
I'm looking forward to playing the Staples Center in Los Angeles with Selena [Gomez] because that has always been a dream of mine.
I know you are brothers, Keaton and Wesley, but how long have you known Drew?
We have been friends for a very long time—maybe 9 or 10 years—and he is like a brother to us.
Did you always want to be singers, even as children?
I think we all dreamed about being rock stars one day.
We started a band and didn't want to do anything else.
Did your parents encourage you to pursue music?
Yes, our parents were always supportive and absolutely believed in us.
The only reason we went on The X Factor was because our mom believed in us and said we had to do it.

I have made this several times over the last few years. It is excellent and easy to make. We use Golden Mushroom soup though and sour cream instead of cream cheese.

In the 1880s, British sculpture was revitalised with the introduction of 'art bronzes', or small-scale sculptures. The aim was to democratise sculpture, to make it an affordable domestic ornament for the increasingly affluent Victorian and later Edwardian middle classes.
In Greek mythology Orpheus is the musician who descended to the underworld in an attempt to retrieve his love, Eurydice, back to the living. Parker's Orpheus plucks his lyre, a symbol of his divine talent, yet his melancholic gaze foreshadows his human vulnerability and the tragic end to his quest.

Hello all,
I am a pretty new beekeeper and have started doing BVT for newly diagnosed arthritis in my left hip along with a bone spur. I am an active person aged 47 and was prescribed Prednesone for this over 2 months ago. I hated the side effects of the medication and will never take it again. After a month of being off of it, I had pain from activity and couldn't even sleep at night because of the pain. I administered two stings two weeks ago and another two stings this week. I have not had any pain at all since then. I will continue to do this as long as I can. I refuse to take medications with all sorts of side effects when I have a natural remedy right outside. I am looking for someone to give me more advice and also wanting some recommendations to get started doing it for others. Thank you.


text: After watching my Carolina Gamecocks put a whoop'n on Clemson last night, I thought this would be an uneventful day. Wrong! While walking into my bathroom I managed bring my foot forward while allowing for only 4 of my 5 toes to clear the door jamb. The resulting collision of my right little toe and the door frame produced audible "crack" followed by a series of sensations the led me to conclude the sound I heard was not due to any structural failure of the frame. The door frame also has retained the same color as it had before the collision while I cannot say the same for my toe. Now I have just learned that my Cousin who has a large family through adoptions and good ole fashioned reproduction is expecting #22 in the coming year. When this newest addition graduates high school my cousin will be 71. I feel a lot better about my toe now. In fact, given the choice between finding out I was going the be a dad again at 50, and breaking bones the choice is easy; I have 9 more toes and plenty of door frames.LOL

SHELTON -- It's been a perplexing year for strawberry prognostication.
Even under the best of conditions, strawberries ripen to the beat of their own drummer. They tend to come out in the second week of June, barring any unusual weather.
Well, as Jamie Jones of Jones Family Farms can tell you, this year has been all about the unusual weather.
"These temperature vacillations make it a lot more challenging to be a farmer," Jones says, bending down to examine a flowering strawberry plant at the farm recently.
"You do your best to manage it -- the cold, the heat, the excess rain, the dry periods. You're doing all these things because Mother Nature gives you all these peaks and valleys," he says. "Strawberries are one of the hardest things to predict."
About a month ago, much higher than normal temperatures had local strawberry growers contemplating the thought of May strawberries. As you might imagine, this set off a few alarm bells.
"Not just strawberries, but the whole growing season was running four weeks early," says Jonathan Bishop, co-CEO of Bishop's Orchards in Guilford. "I was originally thinking we'd be picking by Memorial Day."
In such instances, farmers have a few tricks up their sleeve to counteract weather variations somewhat. For example, Jones says he and his crew kept their 10 acres of strawberries under a winter bed of straw for as long as possible to curb their early growth spurt.
Another hedge against all sorts of weather fluctuations is to have multiple varieties of strawberries that ripen at different times.
Jones Family Farms grows many varieties, including early season Cavendish strawberries, early- to mid-season Darselect strawberries and late-season Allstar strawberries. The farm is even growing a variety -- Rubicon -- developed by the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station.
"We're trying it out to see how it'll perform," Jones notes. "With all of these, it's such a short season. There's only about three prime weeks of picking. When they start ripening, it's fast and furious."
But then, after weeks of above-normal temperatures to kick-start spring, the weather cooled considerably. Growers suddenly had to be concerned about frost.
"These cold nights we're having means we're losing some of the early blossoms," says Bishop. "It cooled off so much that now we're probably only two weeks ahead of schedule."
Out in Shelton, Jones has been trying to fend off frost on his strawberries by irrigating the plants early on some mornings. "We were running it until 8 this morning," he says of his strawberry irrigation system. "It's a very labor-intensive crop. One of the most labor-intensive crops there is."
It's also one of the most highly symbolic crops.
Each year, once winter is over and people are wearing short-sleeved shirts again, they wait and wait for signs that summer is coming. Strawberries are like sweet, juicy red signs saying, "Welcome to your good times."
"It's the first fruit of the summer, the first one that's ready," Jones says. "It's a testament to perseverance."

Excerpt: "The Eagles are reigning NFC East Champions, and they appear to be wearing the crown with extreme confidence.
When asked by Bart Hubbuch of the New York Post, Eagles running back LeSean McCoy did not sound too concerned about the team's rival up the turnpike, the New York Giants.
"I'm not paying attention to the Giants," McCoy said. "What have they done (this offseason)? Signed some guys. Big deal."
The Giants have been very active this offseason, signing 15 veteran free agents, including a number of big names: former Eagles cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and former Seattle Seahawks cornerback Walter Thurmond.
But they are signings that apparently do not concern McCoy, and he isn't the first Eagles player to have this opinion." Read more...

A little-known meteor shower named after an extinct constellation, the Quadrantids will present an excellent chance for hardy souls to start the year off with some late-night meteor watching. Peaking in the wee morning hours of Jan. 3, the Quadrantids have a maximum rate of about 80 per hour, varying between 60-200. Unfortunately, light from a waning gibbous moon will wash out many Quadrantids, cutting down on the number of meteors seen by skywatchers.
Unlike the more famous Perseid and Geminid meteor showers, the Quadrantids only last a few hours, so it's the morning of Jan. 3 or nothing. Given the location of the radiant -- northern tip of Bootes the Herdsman -- only observers at latitudes north of 51 degrees south will be able to see Quadrantids.
Watch the Quadrantids! Live Ustream Feed
A live Ustream feed of the Quadrantid shower will be embedded below on the nights of Jan. 2-4 (http://www.ustream.tv/channel/nasa-msfc). The camera is mounted at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. During the day you will see either pre-recorded footage or a blank box -- the camera is light-activated and turns on at dusk (approx. 6 p.m. EST). › Convert to your local time: http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/tc.cgi
Do You Have Some Great Quadrantid Images?
If you have some great images of the Quadrantid meteor shower, please consider adding them to the Quadrantid Meteors photo group in Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/groups/quadrantids/). Who knows -- your images may attract interest from the media and receive international exposure.
More About the Quadrantids
The Quadrantids derive their name from the constellation of Quadrans Muralis (mural quadrant), which was created by the French astronomer Jerome Lalande in 1795. Located between the constellations of Bootes and Draco, Quadrans represents an early astronomical instrument used to observe and plot stars. Even though the constellation is no longer recognized by astronomers, it was around long enough to give the meteor shower -- first seen in 1825 -- its name.
Like the Geminids, the Quadrantids originate from an asteroid, called 2003 EH1. Dynamical studies suggest that this body could very well be a piece of a comet which broke apart several centuries ago, and that the meteors you will see before dawn on Jan. 3 are the small debris from this fragmentation. After hundreds of years orbiting the sun, they will enter our atmosphere at 90,000 mph, burning up 50 miles above Earth's surface -- a fiery end to a long journey!
Editor's note, Jan. 2, 10:45 a.m. EST: Tonight is the peak of the 2013 Quadrantid meteor shower. Best viewing will be in the northern hemisphere, but the shower can be seen at latitudes north of 51 degrees south. Meteor rates increase after midnight and peak between 3 a.m. and dawn, your local time. To view Quadrantids, go outside and allow your eyes 30-45 minutes to adjust to the dark. Look straight up, allowing your eyes to take in as much of the sky as possible. You will need cloudless, dark skies away from city lights to see the shower. The maximum rate will be about 120/hour. However, light from the waning gibbous moon will wash out fainter meteors, so don't expect to see this many. The peak rate of the Quadrantids has varied between 60-200, so its peak is not as consistent as other showers.

1. "Come along, come along" is the call that will win,To lead us to virtue and keep us from sin;Most men can be led, but few can be driv'nIn shunning perdition and striving for heav'n.
(Chorus)"Come along, come along" is the call that will winIn leading to virtue and keeping from sin;"Come along, come along" is the call that will winIn leading to virtue and keeping from sin.
2. "Come to me, come to me" sweetly falls on the ear,The word of the Lord full of comfort and cheer,To bind up the broken, the captive set free,In the good time that's coming, we hope soon to see.
3. Let us govern by kindness and never by force,All cheering and bright, like the sun in its course;Obedience will spring from each heart with a bound,And brotherhood flourish the wide world around.

Support early childhood education
When President Obama made early childhood education a priority in his State of the Union address, it was a call for action. Our Legislature is considering Gov. Dayton's budget, which includes a $44 million initiative for this and proposes all-day kindergarten, part of a total omnibus education bill requesting $340 million in funding.
Research shows that brain development between 0 and 3 years of age is at the greatest rate, and programs at that stage are the most effective in "positioning poor children for lifelong success."
Some dispute this outcome, citing a "fade-out" after initial benefits due to other environmental factors: poor housing; violence in the home; poverty. We can only correct all these societal ills by major concerted effort on all fronts.
But we can start these educational programs, now.
Proponents argue that lasting effects have been tracked over time: more high school and college graduates; less negative involvement with law enforcement; more likely to be employed.
Some experts have estimated that for every $1 spent on early childhood education, the returns are $4 to $16 in benefits.
Since the legislative session will shortly come to a close, we should be letting our representatives know our wishes on this issue. If the benefits of funding these programs are anywhere near $4 on the dollar, or more, that's a much better investment than playing the stock market!
And where better to put our tax money than in our coming generation?

I checked on my six hives last week when we had 70 degree weather. One of the hives was in serious danger (only 3 frames of bees/ saw the queen and brood) This was my observation hive that I added extra bees and brood to in the fall. It had alot of beetles as well in the fall.
I decided to try to keep them alive by putting them back into the four frame observation hive and keeping them inside. You can open and close the opening in this observation hive. Since we have such a mild winter in SC, I only need to keep them alive a couple of months.
So here are my questions...
How often do I need to put them outside so they can they releive themselves and prevent Nosema?
At what temperature can three frames of bees be outside without chilling the brood? We have plenty of days in the mid 50's...is that warm enough?
I know it seems like alot of trouble for one hive, but it's a learning project.

Play-By-Playmate: Jaime's Favorite Sports Films
Jaime gathered a group of friends to decide once and for all which sports movie reigns supreme.
It's girls' weekend in Breckenridge!
The ladies and I escaped to the hills for a bachelorette party and as per usual, I ended up talking about sports, something you guys probably never thought happened in a room full of women. Well it does and we also got to talking about some of the great movies we saw this year which got me thinking about the intersection between the two.
Turns out each one of the girls had a different opinion as to which one was their favorite so I thought a roundtable was in order to figure out why these films ranked so high on each of their lists.
Lacie - A League of Their Own and Jerry Maguire: I've got two. I just couldn't decide. Very rarely does a movie come along about sports, predominantly about women, that dudes are interested in AND QUOTE! This is what makes A League of Their Own special. Tom Hanks brings such personality to his role as the reluctant manager of an all-girls baseball team that you can't help but love him, hate him and envy him all at once. Add the fact that it is based on an actual league and even makes you consider liking Rosie O'Donnell for a few seconds and you have a really great movie you can watch again and again.
As for Jerry Maguire: Lines from the movie inspired songs, trivial pursuit questions and has one of the most iconic lines to ever hit the big screen: "Show me the money!!!" No matter what your sport, Jerry has you covered. Even that kid from Stand By Me made a somewhat believable quarterback.
Evan - The Sandlot: I've loved Sandlot since I was a kid. We used to watch it over and over and recite all the lines. It's a cool coming of age story for a kid who moves into a new neighborhood and is forced to make new friends. We all experience it at one point or another in life and I think it's portrayed in a great way through the camaraderie of a baseball team.
Sandra - Bull Durham: A strong female character who has a passionate interest in the game as well as the players (wink, wink). Love the music and connection between sports and sex.
Jillian - Days of Thunder: Fast cars and sexy men! Love the passionate love scene with Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman when he shows her how to "draft" with the sugar packets.
Kelly - For Love of the Game: Love the way Kevin Costner's character gets into "the zone." Mind over matter. He's an aging baseball player but doesn't let that deter him and at the end he realizes love is the most important thing.
Lauren - The Replacements: Loved that the "little guy" knows what is important about the game: camaraderie, the fans and the overall love of the game, not the money and fame. Also, the strippers as cheerleaders were hysterical, distracting the other team with ass smacks and grinding. Can't believe that worked (sarcastic shocked face)!
As for me, my favorite sports movie is Talladega Nights. Actually, it's one of my top three movies of all time for two reasons. One: It's totally my sense of humor and personality. I'm always dropping one-liners from the movie on people. I love it when grownups don't act like grownups, when we can take our adult pants off for a few minutes and just have some fun. Not a single character in that movie ever behaves in a normal, reasonable adult way and I love it. Reason number two: I'm ultra-competitive. Total tunnel vision when it comes to competition and I completely agree with the "if you're not first you're last" mantra Ricky Bobby preaches. No one ever wants to come in second.
Now I know these aren't the most critically acclaimed sports movies ever made. Talladega Nights didn't take home any hardware from the Oscars or the Golden Globes, but each of them is special in their own way and part of a canon every sports nut should watch.
You know what Jaime and her friends think. Let us know which sports movies you think should make the cut in comment section below.

I have been going to games for years, but need two tickets for my brothers for tomorrow's game. So I went on RazorGator to get tickets, and they are closed. It says they are opened at 11am on Sunday. Has anyone ever bought tickets for the 1pm game so close to game time and still got in?
I liked the site, since the price was only $67 plus the 19 dollar fee. I don't care how bad the seats are, I just want them in the stadium.
Any help?

I have no experience with the Sig 226 9mm, or Berreta PX 4 9mm.
So I can not comment.
However I have both the Springfield XD 9 and the Glock 17 and both are great guns and will serve you well.
The Glock is a little bit lighter in weight than the XD, and are good guns so you can't go wrong. But I prefer the XD over the Glock because of the grip safety. Just one of them hold over things from being a 1911 fan.

Beautiful pin cushion!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Beautiful pin cushion!
yes.... very pretty
Sew very pretty!!
Be a blessing to others, as you may entertain angels unaware!
Cute cute cute!
Four things you can't recover: The stone.....after the throw. The word......after its said. The occasion.....after its missed. The time......after its gone
Wow I Love it to BarbTN
I guess I am dating myself too: I remember my Mom & Grandma making hen scratch aprons, trim on curtains, detail on toaster covers, etc.
What is "old" is "new again.......
I love chicken scratch....it is really very easy but does take some time. I used to do quite a bit of it about 25 years ago. My daughter (a teenager at that time) also did it. We made some really cute stuff. Still have some books with patterns in somewhere. Should dig them out and try it again.
The pin cushion is very cute. One of a kind!! Almost too pretty to stick pins in!!
Friendship is a knot
tied by Angels hands.
I love it! Color me green!
It's beautiful! How nice to be the recipient of something so special and obviously made with great care and love in every stitch!
Being skinny isn't easy, so I gave up and opted for being sexy instead. (aunty acid)
Chicken Scratch was popular when I was a young bride


text: What does it cost you to get your oil changed? Do you go to a dealer or a quickie place? I've been getting my oil changed at a full-service car wash called Paisley's in South Arlington, Texas. They charge the same for oil/filter/lube that the other places like Jiffy Lube charge, BUT they give a free carwash, and that worth like $15. They vacuum out everything until it's clean. They wash all of the windows, the mirrors and even the rear-view mirror. And they even spray a very nice scent on the interior and it comes out smelling and looking great! Then they hand-dry the car and polish it up so that it looks great. That costs me about $33 after tax for oil/filter/lub and a full-service car wash. I get the Trailblazer done there and my wife's little Caviliar there too. My mother-in-law's Malibu will be the next to go there.

My argument isn't irrelevant you just don't understand it obviously. Your claiming these guys dropped because there was less "need" for QB's then normal. Which is ridiculous. There are plenty of teams who do not have a stand out QB like the teams I listed. What those teams decided was that the QB they had already was better then drafting these kids. In other words the Raiders think Matt Flynn has a better chance of succeeding for them then Geno Smith, Ryan Nassib, or any of the other QBs on the board have. If they didn't think that they would have drafted them in the 1st or 2nd round.
The Browns kept Weeden as there number one, because they didn't think any of these kids could do the job better. That's a FACT, they didn't see it as being in their interest. I refuse to believe that teams are passing on legends because they don't have a "need" for a QB. These kids dropped because they aren't projected to be as good as QBs from other years have been.
In other words if people thought Nassib had the skills that some people on this board pretend he has, he wouldn't of dropped the way he did. There are plenty of teams that have a need for QB. Nassib will be a good backup for us. But don't pretend he dropped because there isn't a team out there that "needs" a quality QB like an Andrew Luck was projected to be last year, and proved to be later on in the season.
And I'm an SU fan! I like Nassib! But come on man, don't go crazy here.

:Chevrolet's latest B-segment contender, the Sonic, is pretty darn good. It placed second in a recent six-car comparison test, and nifty interior duds won it a place on our 10Best Design Details list. Things are about to get even more interesting with the turbocharged Sonic RS that will debut at the 2012 Detroit auto show.LINK
Well I'm impressed, I didn't expect much other than a body kit. It's nice to see that they made some changes that weren't purely cosmetic.
What do you think this is, a Corolla S?Personally I think the face looks even more awkward now, what with the Mazda3-ish fog-lights. The rear fascia is nice, though, as are the wheels. Four wheel disks and retuned suspension? Alright, good call there. Closer gear ratios? Kind of lost as to why.... That seems to be an added expense for something that is otherwise a stiffened up chassis and some brakes. I know the Cruze has two different manuals available, and the Sonic and Cruze use the same engines. But I'm wondering if the trannies are also shared between them, and if the taller-geared manual box of the Cruze Eco is the standard Sonic 1.4T transmission. Anyone know about this stuff with some good links?
----------When life throws you a curve, downshift and take it vigorously.Pheobe's@478,000-ish miles. (RIP original engine 475k)Youtube
Kind of sucks that there's no added power. Wonder what kind of aftermarket that engine has yet?

Like the exhaust tip.Nice touch.
This looks terrible.
I wish it had a little more power but from the reviews the turbo 1.4 is pretty good in the sonic so hopefully with the slightly upgraded suspension you can just keep your speed up when going into a corner.
The article also rightly worries about the price tag this little thing will carry. If it goes too far beyond the LTZ Turbo then it will be in Mazdaspeed 3 territory.

A simple tune should get you right on top of the Fiesta ST, aside from weighing more. Probably cheaper too!http://www.vtunerperformance.com/?p=54
The only major problem I see is that the Fiesta ST is going to roast it. There's also a chance that we'll get the Polo GTI as well.
All show and no go huh!!
This is going to sound like a troll but: It's GM, what do you expect? They are the kings of appearance packages.
___________________________Chortle ChamberEggs.
gm is missing the boat on this one. a 1.4t with 180 - 190 hp should be added to the rs package.
Only hope is the SS version with 175hp.How hard can it be to get that from 1.4L turbo engine?
Overall I like this package even without any added power. I really like the seats and addition of disc brakes in the rear. The exterior styling changes are also handsome, subtle rather than gaudy. I agree with others about the concerns on price and how it will be destroyed by the Fiesta ST.
