The Federalist Society
From Conservapedia
The Federalist Society was founded by four law school students in 1982 to establish an alternative to the increasingly liberal politics of law school professors. Each year it has an annual convention for law school students in February, usually in Chicago, and an annual convention for practicing attorneys, professors and judges in November in Washington, D.C. Attendance has been growing from its initial founding to today, and it counts at least three Supreme Court and many federal appellate judges among its members or frequent speakers. It has active chapters in 60 cities. Its members are typically conservative or libertarian.
It describes its background and mission as follows:[1]
- * Founded in 1982, the Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies is a group of conservatives and libertarians dedicated to reforming the current legal order. We are committed to the principles that the state exists to preserve freedom, that the separation of governmental powers is central to our Constitution, and that it is emphatically the province and duty of the judiciary to say what the law is, not what it should be. The Society seeks to promote awareness of these principles and to further their application through its activities.
- * In its mission and purpose, the Federalist Society is unique. By providing a forum for legal experts of opposing views to interact with members of the legal profession, the judiciary, law students, academics, and the architects of public policy, the Society has redefined the terms of legal debate. Our expansion in membership, chapters, and program activity has been matched by the rapid growth of the Society's reputation and the quality and influence of our events. We have fostered a greater appreciation for the role of separation of powers; federalism; limited, constitutional government; and the rule of law in protecting individual freedom and traditional values. Overall, the Society's efforts are improving our present and future leaders' understanding of the principles underlying American law.

- Foreign Language Assistance Grants (LEAs)
84.293C - Foreign Language Assistance Program (SEAs)
|Program Goal: Assist local and state educational agencies in establishing, improving or expanding foreign language study for elementary and secondary school students.
|Objective 1 of 1: To Improve the foreign language proficiency of students served by the FLAP program.
|Indicator 1.1 of 1: Increased student achievement: The percentage of projects that report improvements in proficiency in a foreign language for three-quarters of school participants.
Source: Grantee Annual Performance Reports.
Frequency: Annually.
Next Data Available: December 2007
Data Validated By: On-Site Monitoring By ED.
Limitations: There are no statutory reporting requirements. Grantee performance reports indicate a multitude of various assessment measurements used to determine and plot student growth in language ability.
Explanation: The FY 2004 data were used to establish a baseline. Grantees are local educational agencies (LEAs) that receive funding for three years. Each grantee establishes its own annual performance targets for improved foreign language proficiency. Data on improved foreign language proficiency come from the annual report received at the end of the second year of the grant. Not all funded projects provide instruction, some focus on developmental activities such as teacher training and, therefore, would not collect data on improvements in foreign language proficiency. Others may not collect data in the first year of the grant.

New to solitary bees. Our property is a certified wildlife habitat and I've been thinking about taking the next step and keeping bees because of Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), and I just like them. My wife isnt so sure about the work involved with honey bees, so Im thinking about providing nesting tubes for solitary bees like Mason Bees to start.
Ive spent a good amount of time at Knox Cellars, Crown Bees, Hutchings Bee Service, and Solitarybee's blog and Im torn between going with blocks and tubes or trays. I have access to a complete wood shop and Im contemplating knocking up a couple of each to see which works best. Ive also collected Teasel stalks and Phragmites from previous years to try reeds as well.
Any advice for a newbie from any experienced keepers would be appreciated.

Harley Davidson Taste of Freedom Tour

Five influencers on the ride of their lives thanks to Harley Davidson.

Every once in a while the stars align and wonderful things happen. Such was the case when I received an invite to join Harley-Davidson and an amazing group of people on a ride through the scenic San Gabriel Mountains. This wasn't just any ride, though. In fact, this would be a first of sorts: a group of young influential men were being removed from the rigors and the comforts of their daily lives to grab life by the bars and ride Harley-Davidsons for three days.
Our ride would be the third of four gatherings to help usher in some new two-wheeled converts in an experiment called the Taste of Freedom Tour. The experience began for five unique young men with very diverse backgrounds: Cole Rise, photographer extraordinaire; Ray Frenden, an amazing digital illustrator; Andy Bothwell aka Astronautalis, a prolific freestyle rapper and hip-hop performer; Greg Lutzka, a professional skateboarder; and Mike Chiesa, a mixed martial arts practitioner in the UFC and winner of The Ultimate Fighter: Live.
Their first meeting was in Montreal, Canada, where these five guys attended boot camp and were introduced to the idea of tasting freedom on a Harley-Davidson. The next time the guys got together was in SoCal, where they took a two-day Rider's Edge course to get some valuable seat time and just enough experience to get their motorcycle licenses. A month or so later the group was to reconvene for a third time to put their new skills to the test. Unfortunately, Mike Chiesa was training for an upcoming fight and couldn't make it, but in his absence Heath Pinter, BMX dirt master, joined the crew.
The trip started out with all of the talents and personalities arriving from their respective corners of the world to make the crawl through rush-hour L.A. traffic to the iconic Safari Inn, made famous by the stomach-turning beating the late, great James Gandolfini gave Patricia Arquette in Quentin Tarantino's film True Romance.
Once everyone arrived we discussed the route and some of the nuances that apply to riding in a group. It's more difficult to travel as a group than it is going it alone, especially with a wide range of riding abilities and the added challenge of navigating through the urban jungle of L.A. We wrapped up our trip overview as the sun set, silhouetting the palm trees, and the Safari Inn's sign glowed hypnotically.
I barely slept a wink, wired with anticipation. Gear packed, checked out, kick stands up, GoPro on and we were ready to rock at eight A.M. Riding positions were assigned and it was time to roll. As excited as everyone was, it was clear there was some self-doubt looming, but there was no turning back. It was a short ride to Frank's Restaurant; we overtook the parking lot, heralded by a choir of thundering exhausts. Black coffee, fluffy scrambled eggs and giant slabs of bacon big enough to choke a bear filled our bellies for the ride.
We spent a few minutes on surface streets before the road began to climb the mountains that rise abruptly from the Los Angeles Basin. With tight switchbacks, oncoming traffic, rocks in the road and sheer drops, this route is not for the timid but rewards those who endure. The sights, the sounds, the smells, the heat, you experience it all in such an intimate way on a bike. We looped back around to Angeles Crest Highway and started heading east. A quick stop at Newcomb's Ranch to wet our whistles and we were back into the twists. We dropped down the 215 into San Bernardino just long enough to jump on the 18 and head up the Rim of the World Highway. This road offers the most breathtaking views of the sprawling Los Angeles area that I've ever seen. Then more twists, more turns and plenty of blind corners before we finally rested our bikes and our bones in the resort town of Lake Arrowhead.
Saturday and Sunday were spent back on the bikes blasting past peaks that towered above 10,000 feet, around Big Bear Lake and out toward the Mojave Desert. It was clear that as inexperienced as they may be, these independents were growing more confident with each twist of the throttle. The pace quickened and a road scum grin became the norm as the guys loosened up and became more relaxed in their abilities. Eventually we descended the mountain and made our way back to the concrete world of L.A.
Phrases like "trial by fire," "surviving the gauntlet" or "thrown in the deep end" could be used to describe the experience, but these guys made it out the other side accomplished and unscathed. We'll be getting back together again for the final chapter of the Taste of Freedom Tour in Milwaukee at Harley-Davidson's 110th Anniversary celebration, 110 Years of Freedom. In the meantime I was able to get some feedback from Bothwell, aka Astronautalis, and Pinter.
What's your perspective of motorcycle riding after being involved with Harley's Taste of Freedom Tour?
Pinter: Harley's Taste of Freedom Tour was an eye-opener for me. To be honest it took me a minute to completely understand it. Working with brands on a sponsorship level for my whole career, I have been programmed to align individuals whose personalities and interests match the companies' image. Taste of Freedom is the opposite and was designed to give a unique group of individuals who have never ridden motorcycles an insight and experience of riding Harley-Davidson motorcycles. After being on the Taste of Freedom Tour, I'm a huge fan of the concept and think the crew from Harley-Davidson did an amazing job. They lined up a great group of people and gave them experiences that will change their lives. Riding with the crew and seeing them finding this new passion for riding motorcycles is a reminder of how I felt about BMX and motorcycles from the start. After a short time on a motorcycle they are Harley-Davidson's ideal image, a group of people who love riding motorcycles.
What was your perspective of motorcycle riding before you got involved with Harley Davidson's Taste of Freedom tour?
Bothwell: I grew up in Jacksonville Beach, Florida, about 80 miles north of Daytona. Motorcycles are omnipresent in that world. While the rumble of exhaust is a constant in my town, I didn't find myself drawn to motorcycles until later in life. I certainly daydreamed about dirt bikes, like any boy of a certain age, but it wasn't until I saw Steve McQueen jump the fence in The Great Escape that I thought, "Man, I want THAT!" It was all just daydreams, though; I thought, "I can't do that." It seemed difficult or out of reach. I look back on that feeling now and it seems foolish.
How much seat time did you get prior to the L.A. mountain run?
Bothwell: I put about 700 miles on my street bob in 2.5 weeks, plus a few hundred on an Electra Glide Harley loaned me before the trip. I'm not sure how many hours that is, but it is basically every single free moment I had between the day I got my license and the morning my flight left for L.A.
How would you compare riding a motorcycle to performing live?
Bothwell: In many ways it is very different, and that is what I enjoy about riding so much; being out on the road, alone, is a marvelous respite from the total lack of privacy in my work as a musician. The shows are all for the audience, you work and work and work, all to make them have a marvelous time…and I love that. In the van, with the band, it is all about democracy and cohabitation. But when I ride, that is for me. I don't look at maps much, I just go where I want, stop when I want, do what I want. It was very intentional when I designed my bike to only have one seat. However, where the two things do intersect is in the awareness required for both. No matter if you are performing or riding, your head must be on a swivel at all times, reading the road, feeling out the crowd, staying a few seconds ahead, so you can always be prepared to react and keep things moving forward smoothly.
How do you think motorcycle riding will affect your music?
Bothwell: I grew up surfing, and riding my motorcycle reminds me a lot of the odd coupling of meditation and exhilaration that comes with surfing. You spend forever on your board waiting for a set to come in, only to get a 30-second rush, then paddle out and wait again. I wrote a lot of my early work sitting out there on my surfboard, waiting for a set to come in. The tranquility of the road allows for a lot of time to think within the framework of a really thrilling activity as well. I spend a lot of time researching for my work. Sitting at a computer and reading are as much a part of my music as hammering out lyrics or layering harmonies. I live in Minnesota now where the waves aren't so good, so riding my Harley has filled that void left after I stopped surfing. Riding gives me that time alone to synthesize all of the research I have done and shape it into my work.
What's your perspective of motorcycle riding now?
Bothwell: Motorcycle riding is starting to take over all of my thoughts, time and dreams. I am constantly plotting new rides, dreaming of ways to tune my bike, dreaming of other bikes to get. When I first started on this project with Harley, I was talking to a fella who had 12 motorcycles. I asked him, "What the hell do you need 12 motorcycles for?!" to which he responded, "Ask me again after you get your first." I get it now, I get why people are so religious about riding, the fraternal aspects of it all…I get it. I am all in. Drinking the Kool-Aid, a changed man.
Stay tuned for more from the Taste of Freedom Tour and Harley-Davidson's 110TH Anniversary!

Torpedo bay
this wiki
(covers information from several alternate timelines)
A torpedo bay is the area of a starship in which torpedoes are stored, and the torpedo launcher can be accessed by personnel. In the bay, torpedoes are removed from storage and placed into the torpedo tubes immediately prior to launch.
In the alternate reality, the torpedo bay of the USS Enterprise was operated manually by members of the crew. Two launcher cannons were accessible and six torpedoes could be simultaneously loaded into the torpedo tubes of a cannon. (Star Trek)
Different ships from the 22nd century to the 23rd century had varying degrees of automation of this process. The retrofitted USS Enterprise and USS Enterprise-A appeared to primarily use manually-loading bays (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan; Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country), while the process was more automated a century earlier on Enterprise NX-01. (ENT: "Fight or Flight", "Civilization", "Similitude") Vessels in the 24th century were also equipped with automated torpedo bays. (TNG: "In Theory"; VOY: "Future's End, Part II")
The compact torpedo bay of the refit Constitution-class USS Enterprise-A was located on Deck 13. In 2293, Captain Spock and Doctor Leonard McCoy entered the torpedo bay, where they modified a photon torpedo to track the engine emissions left by General Chang's prototype Klingon Bird-of-Prey. When modifications were complete, they loaded the torpedo manually into its firing tube. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)
Aboard the Galaxy-class USS Enterprise-D, the forward torpedo bay was located on Deck 25. (TNG: "In Theory") In 2368, Captain Jean-Luc Picard gave the winners of the primary school science fair a tour of several parts of the ship, including the torpedo bay. (TNG: "Disaster")
In 2372 of the mirror universe, Terran Resistance Forces engineers preparing for the launch of the ISS Defiant attempted to bring torpedo chambering mechanisms on-line in the aft torpedo bay. (DS9: "Shattered Mirror")

Where I stayed
Well finally this invader believed he might be at the wrong door and he went away...only after he had woken up about every one in the place by banging on the door and yelling. So we decide to move on down the road to the Tabo Inn cottages.... We're staying on Lake Toba, a naturally beautiful crater lake in north central Sumatra...should be a tourist haven and I guess at one time it was...but with the bombings in Bali around 2003 devastating tourism and a subsequent crash of the Indonesian economy, Lake Toba is still beautiful but with a deficit of tourists. Which makes it perfect to visit in my mind...the facilities are in place...although a bit shabby...every place looks like it was built in the 70s or 80s and has not quite been kept up. But if you travel here, I'd highly recommend a visit to the area. The Batak people are delightful and you can easily spend a few days getting to know them and enjoying the quiet.
So Tabo Cottages are right on the lake...lovely, peaceful energy...run by a couple...an Indonesian man and a German woman and their family....the food is healthy...you can sit around all day, eat and swim and talk to people and never even leave the area. The family is headed to a Batak wedding the next day and we are invited to join them. The Bataks are the people of the area....strongly retaining their cultural heritage of music and dance and tradition. I guess they used to be a pretty wild bunch, practicing headhunting and cannibalism...not any more though.
Now, a Batak wedding is a full day affair...maybe longer. During the day, everybody is dressed in traditional outfits...there is a sort of big town meeting. While the couple sit there saying nothing, the grooms family buys the bride from the bride's family. May sound a bit disturbing except it's more a display of tradition than an out and out sale. But money and goods do get exchanged...they reflect the wealth of the two families...each family has a microphone to pass around...it goes on for hours with the whole community present, everybody sitting on the ground (on tarps), and eating peanuts and the fermented grain drink (the one every culture seems to have...that tastes like sour yeast). Then there's a meal, then each part of the family is honored...they take their seat near the couple and get a few prayers and recognition and then it's time for the gifting of the cloths (which I have a lot of photos of).
EVERYBODY has brought a traditionally woven cloth and brings it up to the couple, wrapping them in it, then putting rice on the couples head, then their own and then tossing some over their shoulder to the crowd, while saying their prayers for the couple and/or good wishes/words of wisdom. All the while the band is playing this lively Batak tune...people are doing the Batak dance which I would be happy to demonstrate for you - it looks very much like an emo dance...very subtle).
Every once in a while a group busts out dancing some more radical steps...all while the couple receives blankets. Meantime there are a few ladies behind the couple peeling off the blankets after they get loaded on and folding them into a sack. You have to remember it's really hot out here and the couple would be smothered in blankets if these women were not doing their job. It's so cool to be a part of this scene....we're the only non-Indonesians here...felt a little odd walking in but after lots of long questioning stares, then a few smiles followed by exchanged greetings, I feel more than welcome. It's really a very emotional event and I'm wholly touched to watch this community expression of support for this new family. There are tears expressed, laughter, and lots of dance....
We stay for a few hours, want to get home before dark....don't really like driving those motorbikes after dark....and then head back to the Tabo Cottages. And after a tasty dinner in our favorite seats on the lake, it's time to retire to the super-suite, where they offered us a perfect room (including a huge breakfast), for only 150.000 rupiahs (that's about 15 dollars)....sounds really cheap although the place we were staying in previously was only 4 dollars each night. Sumatra may be a little rough around the edges but with a place like this, I can't imagine wanting to leave soon.

What's the Deal With the Barber Pole?
A colleague asks, "What's the deal with the barber pole? Does it represent anything, or is it just a flashy pole that some early haircutter stuck up?"
The dual arts of cutting hair and shaving faces have been around for a very long time, as have the barbers who practice them (razors dating from the Bronze Age have been found, and the "barber's razor" is mentioned in the bible). For much of their early history, barbers did much more than just take a little off the top, though. Early physicians thought of some surgeries as being beneath them, so the tasks of mending wounds, blood-letting and extracting teeth fell to the barbers. For their dual roles of cutting hair and cutting veins, they were called barber-surgeons and later, when the College de Saint Come in Paris wanted to further distinguish between academic surgeons and barber-surgeons, "surgeons of the short robe."
The striped poles you sometimes see outside barber shops are a legacy of the barber-surgeons' practice of bloodletting.
The typical barber-surgeon's equipment for bloodletting or applying leeches consisted of a staff (for the patient to grasp, causing the veins of the arm to stand out sharply), a basin (to catch blood and hold leeches), and a number of linen bandages. Often, the bandages were tied to or twisted around the staff, which was capped with the blood bowl, so everything was together when needed. The equipment would then be placed outside, both to dry washed bandages and to act as an advertisement. With the help of a stiff breeze, the bandages—clean in some spots, permanently stained in others—would twist around the pole and create an unmistakable swirling red and white pattern.
Over time, bloodletting fell out of practice, and the tools of the trade disappeared from barbers' shops as they concentrated on hair. (Some stubbornly continued to practice medicine; in 1745, England passed legislation to permanently separate barbers from surgeons.) To maintain tradition and advertise their services with a recognizable symbol, many barbers placed wooden poles outside—painted with stripes and topped with a ball, to resemble the staff/bandage/basin arrangement. The modern barber pole was born. [Image courtesy of Hillsdale Barn Antiques.]
Many of today's poles feature rotating, light-up cylinders and weather-resistant plastic and steel parts. Most of these poles probably came from the William Marvy Company of St. Paul, Minnesota, which has, for decades, been the dominant producer of barber poles in the USA. Company founder William Marvy got his start as a barber supply salesman in the 1920s. He was convinced that he could produce a better barber pole than the ones he'd been pushing, so he launched his own company. By 1950, he perfected his version of the barber pole. The Marvy model featured a Lucite outer cylinder, cast-aluminum housing and stainless-steel fittings, making it lighter, sturdier, and more durable than the other poles available.
By the late 1960s, two of Marvy's competitors had gone out of business, and his other two rivals were farming out their pole manufacturing to his factory. Soon enough, the Marvy Company was the only game in town, and in the country.
William Marvy, the only non-barber in the Barber Hall of Fame, died in 1993, but the company is still going today under the direction of his son, Bob. Annual pole sales are down to about 600 (compared to 5,100 in 1967), but the company keeps itself busy selling replacement parts and grooming supplies, and restoring old poles. If you're in the market for a barber pole, they still offer seven different revolving or non-revolving and stand- or wall-mounted models.

Greetings all,
This is my first post here, and I suppose the write place to be asking,
I've been programming for several years but I would describe myself as a hack and slash programmer, with buggy code and not very well written.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to coding the right way with less bugs and more reliability?
My preferred learning platform is visual and audio
I mainly program in vb6 and vb.net but am currently learning c++ I don't know if the proper technique can be applied across all languages or whether there is a proper way to do each one?
Any help/links would be greatly appreciated.

And I'll repeat the point I made earlier that your security is rarely as good as most admins think it is, as the video points out it can usually be defeated very easily.

Im confused!!!
"To recap, the escalators will raise Snee's salary from $6.45 million to $6.7 million, Diehl's salary from $4.1 million to $4.475 million and Nicks' salary from $2.425 million to $2.725 million.
Of course, Nicks' salary is subject to change anyway as the Giants view him as a top priority this offseason, and will be looking to reach a long-term deal with him.
In total, it added $980,000 to the Giants' 2013 cap number (again, pending a deal for Nicks). That pushed them even further over the projected cap for 2013, but they recently trimmed a large amount of space by releasing linebacker Michael Boley, and appear poised to clear more space by releasing running back Ahmad Bradshaw."


text: In our family the saying is ''Crazy is in the eye of the beholder'' For me I would rather restore the cabinets while my brother restores the machines for me. I take a piece of the old veneer with me to get a good match. Veneer is really easy to replace. And since you can now purchase a water based epoxy the ventilation problem is gone. Like vanginney says this is ONLY the beginning--I can not leave a sad machine in or out of a cabinet sitting in a store or yardsale. All they need is a little TLC and a loving home.

Beautiful blocks!!!!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
my May block!
Give a smile away today, someone you meet might need one!
Marybeth, love your B/W May block!
Marybeth, lovely block and beautiful fabrics!
Eat, quilt, sleep, repeat
Sulabug yours is so pretty! I love how you managed to use a rose in some segments!
Mines done.seams are not right,not rippping. I PP the corners and I think it would make a nice quilt
So Roma Bauder, where's your picture?
Eat, quilt, sleep, repeat
my block,not perfect,but it is what it is. I think the corners ( PP) would be good put in a quilt.
Ok, after ripping out about 8 times, this is what I ended up with. The PP portion was a breeze, my favorite thing in quilting. But putting the PP with exact seams, and regular piecing with probably non exact seams, the center doesn't match up. But at this point I'm done. I love the block, and may have to try it again because I'm not happy with it. I feel like I'm going backwards instead of growing in my work. Maybe I need a month off from quilting. Nope can't do that, I have to much I want to do.
After looking at the block on this post. I think the square in square should be a bit smaller and the prairie point a bit bigger, then maybe then the prairie points would match at the yellow and the ends of the points.

My roommate thought it was totally acceptable to sneak her "boyfriend" (whom she met yesterday) in our room last night and engage in sexual intercourse. Little did they both know- I was wide awake. Not to mention I couldn't sleep BEFORE he came because of my roommate's snoring. Level of happiness thus far: -6
Mood: WOOF!
It'd probably only be a -2 if you joined in.

Just months after Clear Channel flipped 101.7 in Boston, the former home of longtime Modern Rock WFNX, to Adult Hits as WHBA (The Harbor), the frequency has a new format again. On Thursday (12/20), CCM+E launched Electronic Dance Music (EDM) station "Evolution 101.7." The new format kicked off at 6 p.m. yesterday with an hour-long, Boston-dedicated specialty program hosted by Pete Tong, the British DJ behind BBC Radio 1s "Essential Mix" radio show.
Evolution 101.7 is an extension of Clear Channel's EDM "Evolution" station on iHeartRadio, also hosted by Tong. The stations programming will include "All Gone Pete Tong," an exclusive, two-hour daily show featuring Petes Essential New Tune of the Week, as well as tracks from the global Top 100 chart on Beatport.com. The show will broadcast Monday through Friday from 7-9 p.m. EST, and will join a lineup of shows hosted by a rotation of DJs including Diplo; Wolfgang Gartner; Fatboy Slim; Dim Mak; Yung Skeeter; Manufactured Superstars; Paul van Dyk; Roger Sanchez; Congorock; Dillon Francis; Doorly; Eats Everything; Jaymo & Andy George; The 2 Bears; Tom Staar; Hot Since 82; John Dhalback; Jet Set USA; Moguai; and Nu Disco. Evolution 101.7s programming will feature special mixes, on-air interviews and guest-hosted radio shows with world-class, progressive DJs and EDM producers. The station will also air exclusive content from Swedish House Mafias final tour in addition to their featured show with all-new mixes.
"We've seen the impact of EDM in Boston through music downloads, sold-out concerts and passion for iHeartRadios new Evolution channel," said Dylan Sprague, VP of Programming for CCM+E-Boston. "Were proud to bring Evolution 101.7, the companys first EDM broadcast station, to Boston, and to team up with format-leading artists like Pete Tong. The music scene in Boston has a vibrant EDM community as well as a rich history of bringing new music to audiences in the area and around the country. Were excited to continue the tradition by giving dance music a home on Boston's airwaves."
"Like the early days of FM, iHeartRadio is the new playground for programming experimentation," said Tom Poleman, President of National Programming Platforms for CCM+E. "Evolutions innovative programming resonated with our iHeartRadio consumers so well that extending the station to a broadcast radio platform was the next step to connect our listeners with great music. Evolution 101.7 is a great example of iHeartRadios ability to drive new innovation in radio programming, and will bring even more variety to Clear Channels impressive roster of stations."

While everyone and their mother is off having fantastic adventures at San Diego Comic Con, I am … not. So, to distance myself (and my inner jealousy monster) from the stories of magical fairyland (SDCC) that are currently flooding my Twitter feed – I ran out to take some photos of this Catwoman costume from January.
I don't like the fabric used for this- it was a sort of metallic black spandex (it was supposed to be a shiny stretch pvc/vinyl but… wasn't). I had brief delusions of making it out of latex (Guillem March's and Adam Hughes's Catwoman both seem to be fond of latex… ) I love the look of latex, but who in their right mind would fight/climb in it? I wasn't willing to tackle the task that would've been learning to work in latex at the time that I made this, so settled for this (much cheaper) alternative.

This Senate immigration plan sounds terrible
No intending illegal alien is going to be deterred from trying to enter by learning that the only thing that stands between him and legal status is paying a fine and taxes. Kaus's point here is critical: Far from making illegal aliens go to the "back of the line," this proposal gives them the immeasurable advantage of legal presence in the U.S. while waiting for their green card, unlike aliens obeying the law and waiting in their own country for permission to enter.
The outline is silent on what would cause the revocation of probationary status. Perhaps the commission of "serious crimes," but the statement of principles is impenetrably ambiguous on this point. If the commission of "serious crime" is indeed the trigger for potentially (emphasis on the "potential" part) losing probationary status, it means that a whole host of "unserious crimes" may still be committed with impunity by "probationary" illegals without jeopardizing their safe haven from the law. The distinction between "serious" and "unserious" crime should have in any case been long since retired; New York City's triumph over all crime through the enforcement of low-level misdemeanor statutes shows that enforcement of misdemeanor laws is as critical to public safety as felony arrests (and even more important to a community's sense of order and safety)…
At the press conference, Senators Menendez and Rubio delivered their remarks in Spanish as well as English, sometimes embroidering on their English version, as when Menendez said to his non-English-speaking listeners that their "voices have been heard." No one spoke in Chinese or German. I am a big advocate of learning foreign languages to better understand other cultures and human thought itself, but doing so should not be necessary to communicate with one's fellow citizens. It is remarkable therefore that the growing Spanish-language imperative trumped any fears that a bilingual press conference does not exactly establish that assimilation is keeping pace with the growth of a parallel Hispanophone culture.

About the Author
William Gilkerson attended the Bixby School of Fine Arts at Washington University, before going to Norway and buying a 44' antique sailing sloop. He learned seamanship while navigating it around much of Northern Europe, making and selling on-the-spot sketches, an activity that sparked his lifelong career as a marine artist, but with periodic interruptions into writing. After his return to the United States (first as managing editor of St. Louis Magazine, then as an editor and later special features writer for the San Francisco Chronicle), he lived aboard his next boat, a 38' ketch, in Sausalito, until 1970, when he abandoned his newspaper career and joined The Golden Toad, a group of street musicians, as bagpiper and "mouth, begging quarters for the hat."
Gilkerson's work as a marine artist and noted scrimshander eventually took him to Massachusetts. From then until now, he has interspersed his writing and painting, producing ten major institutional exhibitions (including the U.S. Naval Academy Museum, Annapolis, and the Peabody Essex Museum of Salem's first one-man show for a living artist), until his final relocation to Nova Scotia in 1987. There he dwells today, off Mahone Bay, sailing with his wife, Kerstin, and family aboard their ancient cutter Elly.
In his career to date, Gilkerson's art has been commissioned and collected by some fifty public institutions and museums, and his writings have been anthologized and reproduced in many books and magazines.


text: Washington Redskins coach Mike Shanahan received criticism following a 21-13 loss to the Carolina Panthers in Week 9 after saying that the Redskins would have a chance to evaluate players for the remainder of the season. Some assumed Shanahan was suggesting that the season was over for a Washington team that dropped to 3-6. The Redskins have won their last two, pulling even with the Cowboys at 5-6. Following a 38-31 Thanksgiving Day loss to the Redskins, the Cowboys front office began talking like Shanahan did three weeks earlier. Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones and executive vice president Stephen Jones have both recently made comments about player evaluation during interviews on the team's flagship radio station 105.3 The Fan [KRLD-FM]. Jerry Jones said Monday that the time has come to "evaluate your core as far as seasons to come." Stephen Jones agreed with his father when he was asked Wednesday about evaluating the Cowboys core. "I think so," Stephen Jones said. "Anytime you go through a season you have to evaluate what type of season they had. With each player there's significant money attached, especially to your core group of guys. And if they're not playing to their money than you certainly have to take a look at it because we're one of those teams that, to be real candid with you, we're up against the cap next year, I mean up against it tight. "We certainly can't afford to overlook mediocrity if a player's had a mediocre season but he's being paid to have a great season. Those things have to be addressed. We'll certainly continue to look at that. I wouldn't say underachieving is a lack of effort. I think everybody is playing hard. The question just becomes: Can they still play the way they were playing a year ago, two years ago. Those are things that we have to take a look at." http://cowboysblog.**************/2...ml/?utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=twitterfeed

Kids learn how to be safe

Children ages 4-6 spent last week learning all about safety at the annual Safety Kids event held each morning Tuesday-Friday, May 28-31, at The Trailside Center at Pequot Lakes Baptist Church.
Teachers, police officers, community resource people and volunteer teen instructors worked daily to develop healthy, safe attitudes in children. Children learned about various aspects of safety through classroom activities, songs and videos.
They practiced pedestrian skills and experienced "real life" situations by driving tot-sized vehicles through a miniature city layout complete with city blocks, buildings and stop signs.

You'd be on your own, there. Let me know if you find an affordable gunsmith!
do you think there might be a place that could make me a drop in barrel? well, besides headspace? an enfield or socom specialist.. or would the price be crazy?
You'd be on your own, there. Let me know if you find an affordable gunsmith!
so, $85 for 45-70 is too good a deal to pass.. but do the #1 barrels fit a #4 reciever?
From my modest research all the Lee Enfield barrels used the same thread. That is a 14 TPI V shape, .997 inch diameter thread that is .687 inch long per info from "Bolt Action Rifles" by de Haas.
WW-II Lee Enfields often had very sloppy over-size chambers.
The barrels all screw on. However, they're clocked 180 out - the extractor cutout winds up on the wrong side when you swap a No.1 and a No.4 barrel.
However, the extractor cutouts aren't cut on the Sarco barrels, just the chambers. You can mill or Dremel to match your receiver.
Gibbs used both No.1 and No.4 receivers on their .45-70 rifles.
I had to make an SMLE wrench. It turns out the No.4 receiver ring is quite a bit bigger around than a No.1, and shaped differently on the bottom, too. I make it large enough for a No.4, and I'll make a split aluminum bushing for the No.1
After cutting the slot, I had to do a bunch of cutting and grinding to match it to the bottom of the receiver, which flares out into the lug, as opposed to the No.1, where the lug looks like it's just stuck on as an afterthought. You can see how that worked out in the bottom picture.
Grabbing hold of the barrel turned out to be a hassle. I wound up shortening my barrel bushing to tighten the tapered area up before I could get enough bite to hold the barrel. I've been hitting the breech area with Knock'R'Loose and PB Blaster for six months now.
The receiver was much tighter than a Chinese AK, not as tight as a Mosin. And much tighter than the No.1; I removed the barrel from the No.1 with a strap wrench!
Hmm. It's time to screw in the .45-70 barrel and check the headspace. But what is the headspace supposed to be?
The SAAMI cartridge drawing shows a rim thickness of .060 to .070". It also shows a chamber with a rim recess, the recess being .070-.077.
A max rim and minimum recess would give a headspace of zero.
A minimum rim and a max recess would give a headspace of .017"!
Well, that's how things were in 1872, I guess...
I have a box of new Remington cartridges on hand. I think I'll mosey down to Blue Star next week and pick up a handful of commercial empties of as many brands as I can find, and see what modern commercial brass is closest to.
If the variation is small, I'm going to set the headspace to .001 or .002 on the thickest rim, unless someone has a better idea.
net.lore says you can just run a 54R reamer into a .303 barrel, though it'll result in a funny-looking stepped case after firing. Lore also says if you set the barrel back a couple of threads you can fix this.
Ain't no way, droogies. Two threads isn't *nearly* enough to make a clean chamber, which I should have realized from looking at the drawings.
The SMLE doesn't have many threads to begin with, so setting it back more than two threads would start getting iffy. There's also the problem that on the No.1, you're moving the barrel far enough that all the "stuff" on the forend might not line up any more.
So, if all you want is something that'll shoot, just run the 54R reamer in. But there's no way to cut a correct chamber into the factory .303 barrel without shortening it too much to use.
The Mosin barrel has a finer thread than the SMLE barrel, too. I was hoping I might be able to step it on the lathe to take some of the SMLE hardware, but no go.
Hello TRX,
Is there insufficient SMLE barrel shank to run those 14 TPI threads back far enough for a recut Russian chamber ??? The orignal threading can be picked-up on a lathe and extended when the thread major diameter is extended first.
I've done this thread extension on shortened Garand '06 barrels with their funky square 10 TPI threads to rechamber them to .308.
You'd have maybe four threads left by the time you set the barrel back enough to completely clean it up. It's probably enough, but frankly, if I was going to use the original barrel, I'd just run the 54R reamer in there and call it good enough. Baud knows the .303 chambers are loose enough to start with; the extra neck that would be fireformed onto the 54R case would be no big deal. If you were shooting commercial Boxer-primed brass and reloading it, it would be one thing, but the whole point of converting an Enfield to 54R is to shoot cheap Berdan primed Commie ammo. As long as headspace is correct and the case doesn't actually rupture, who cares what it looks like when you eject it?
I guess I was just annoyed that "just set the barrel back a couple of threads and it'll fix it right up" turned out to be more Bubba Gunsmith lore. And if I'd taken the time to examine the case drawings in the loading manual, I wouldn't have been suckered.

A Queenstown bar that posted on Facebook CCTV images of two men they accuse of stealing and threatened to kill them say the post was meant as satire.
Skybar accused the pair of stealing an eftpos machine in January.
Director Daniel Taiaroa said the post "was obviously meant as satire" and "satire ... is not illegal".
Skybar reported the theft to police on Tuesday.
On Tuesday evening the bar posted two images, taken from CCTV cameras, of the alleged offenders.
Along with the images the bar sent a message to the men via its Facebook page, using an almost verbatim quote from the 2008 move Taken, starring Liam Neeson.
"I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career.
Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you return my terminal now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you."
By yesterday afternoon the post had gained 215 "likes".
However, Senior Sergeant John Fookes said the post was "pretty unwise".
"It's a threat to kill somebody. Legally speaking, the threat to kill or do grievous bodily harm to somebody in most circumstances is likely to be an offence."
The maximum penalty for either offence was seven years' imprisonment.
Mr Fookes said an officer spoke to Skybar management about the post yesterday.
Mr Taiaroa said the post had received a "huge amount of public support".
"This public support is a tribute to the good humour in which the post was intended, as well as bringing to light the abhorrent behaviour by these individuals."
The bar's CCTV footage showed the alleged offenders making two transactions prior to taking the terminal, which cost $1950 to replace and was "completely useless to anyone but us".
"As stated in the Facebook post, if the terminal is returned, that'll be the end of it.
"If not, we will pursue them."

Can you show me your different borders? How do you determine how they will fit since they may have a pattern?
there is a really really good book out there called:
BORDERS, BINDINGS & EDGES The Art of Finishing Your Quilt
by Sally Collins
this book will teach you sooooo much about borders= finishing techniques- how to make them fit- how to choose the right finishing for your quilts- it is an invaluable resource which i seem to always have within reach!
i highly recommend this book for anyone who makes quilts beyond just copying someones pattern
I've been watching borders more lately ... and looking for new ideas beyond the standard flat and straight in differnet widths! Hope others show some.
Yup! Got that book, it's new so I haven't used it yet.Quote:

Yes pieced borders require math :) Both books teach you the math to use to make the borders fit properly at the corners both by utilizing strip borders and adjusting the size of the pieces in the pieced border.
Below are two borders that I made from the Border Workbook book. As I said - haven't tried any YET from the Sally Collins book - but I will! I LOVE a pieced border!! Tricky suckers though :)
Photo taken prior to finishing. I had actually fixed the corner piece a tad before I quilted it.
You can just see the edge - a simple diamond border. Sorry, no pic of the corners - but they match.
I am currently hand quilting a double irish chain, almost done with the center, but I don't know how to quilt the border. The project has been going on so long, I am actually getting bored with it! What can I do that is not too difficult? I was thinking of just crosshatching, what do you all think?
well you can find borders on quilterscache.com too.
Yes ... some nice ones!Quote:

Forgot to add that this one took some figuring out. I took the length of the center of the quilt and divided by the number of diamonds that I wanted to do. This gave me the length of each diamond. Added the seam allowance and that was it. Using graph paper and drawing it out can be very helpful.
http://www.amazon.com/Border-Workboo.../dp/1564771849 I have this book. Book is ususally at JoAnns Doghouse mentioned this book to you.
Border here is from half square triangles left from cutting the corners off the snowball blocks.
Busy quilt. Just added left over strips from the blocks.

Nielsen made a surprising announcement this morning, as the media measurement giant announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire radio ratings mainstay Arbitron. Nielsen has agreed to acquire all of the outstanding common stock of Arbitron for $48/share in cash, representing a premium of approximately 26 percent to Arbitrons closing price on December 17, 2012. Nielsen has a financing commitment for the total transaction amount. The transaction has been approved by the boards of both companies and is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory review.
"U.S. consumers spend almost 2 hours a day with radio. It is and will continue to be a vibrant and important advertising medium," said Nielsen CEO David Calhoun. "Arbitron will help Nielsen better solve for unmeasured areas of media consumption, including streaming audio and out-of-home. The high level of engagement with radio and TV among rapidly growing multicultural audiences makes this central to Nielsens priorities.
With the addition of Arbitron's assets, Nielsen intends to further expand its 'Watch' segments audience measurement across screens and forms of listening. "These integrated, innovative capabilities will enable broader measurement of consumer media behavior in more markets around the world," said Steve Hasker, Nielsen President of Global Media Products and Advertiser Solutions. "We will also bring local clients greater visibility to empower more precise advertising placement and campaign effectiveness."
"Radio reaches more than 92 percent of all American teens and adults because they love to listen to music, talk, news and information while at home, at work and in their cars," said William T. Kerr, President/CEO of Arbitron. "By combining Nielsens global capabilities and scale with Arbitrons unique radio measurement and listening information, advertisers and media clients will have better insights into consumer behavior and the return on marketing investments."
In the announcement of the deal, Nielsen says that "the combined assets will support Nielsen's strong cash flow characteristics and will enable continued investment in growth initiatives. Excluding estimated transaction costs and purchase accounting adjustments, the acquisition is expected to be approximately $0.13 accretive to adjusted EPS 12 months after the close and approximately $0.19 accretive to adjusted EPS 24 months after the close. Cost synergies associated with the acquisition are expected to be at least $20 million and will be largely driven by the integration of technology platforms and data acquisition efforts."

Should Gay Men Be Allowed to Donate Blood?
Marni Soupcoff | Posted 03.17.2013 | Canada
Read More: Krever Report, Canadian Blood Services, Canada, Blood Donors, Blood Donations, Canada Blood Donation, Gay Rights, Canada Gay Rights, Canada News
I would respect Canadian Blood Services more if it took a stronger position on gay blood donations. Either stick with the lifelong ban and admit that it's a super-cautious approach to try to mitigate against potential infections we don't yet understand, based on the deadly mistakes made in the past with HIV. Or focus on the bloodborne diseases we do know about, and adjust the ban accordingly to six-months or one-year, as would be consistent with the current science of detection. Either one of these approaches would be a more defensible posture than the arbitrary five-year ban Canadian Blood Services has chosen to champion.
