Knock off band
Saw a knock off band perfrom, Led Zepplin tunes. They were called Houses of the Holy out of St. Louis, Missoui. U.S.A. Do you know of them?
Music was really close to the real thing, and lead singer almost sounded like Robert, but not quite. Voice was really high. Really killed some of the numbers I really like that Robert does.
Wish I had seen you perform for real in the days of my youth!
Always a fan, thanks for the great music and all the years you have been writing and performing. You guys were and still are the best!

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Legally Undead by Margo Bond Collins
Genres: Urban Fantasy
Series: Vampirarchy #1
Published by World Weaver Press on May 27, 2014
Pages: 279
Source: Publisher
A reluctant vampire hunter, stalking New York City as only a scorned bride can.
Elle Dupree has her life all figured out: first a wedding, then her Ph.D., then swank faculty parties where she'll serve wine and cheese and introduce people to her husband the lawyer.
But those plans disintegrate when she walks in on a vampire draining the blood from her fiancé Greg. Horrified, she screams and runs--not away from the vampire, but toward it, brandishing a wooden letter opener.
As she slams the improvised stake into the vampire's heart, a team of black-clad men bursts into the apartment. Turning around to face them, Elle discovers that Greg's body is gone—and her perfect life falls apart.
If you like novels where vampires are actually the bad guys and not just some sexy supernatural beings that live for a long time, you're going to enjoy this one! To be honest, I can't really remember the last time I read a book where vampires were clearly evil and the 'bad guys,' and to be honest, I find it refreshing despite all the angst and fighting. Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the movie and the TV series) was one of my favorites shows when I was in high school and I think the TV show is really what got me interested in paranormal and urban fantasy books. LEGALLY UNDEAD really isn't anything like the noteworthy movie/TV show but what is similar is the fact that vampires are clearly the antagonists.
Another great thing about this novel is the fact the writing is very fluid and very captivating. The book reads very easily and the characters are easy to like or hate. Elle Dupree, a normal post-grad student, got sucked into the world of vampires when she walked in on her fiancé being turned into a vampire. Not a great way to break up with someone, especially someone you were living with and planning on marrying. Unlike what a normal girl would do, she didn't run away screaming or cowardly hid from the nightmare. No, she grabbed a wooden letter opener an attacked the vampire sucking blood from her fiancé. We learn later on that her fiancé Greg had chosen to be turned on purpose and Elle feels betrayed and confused by the man she thought she knew.
Nick and his merry gang of vampire slayers are a great addition to the cast. They really help Elle deal with this new life of hers, full of vampires, fighting and always looking behind her shoulder after the sun sets. Nick's team become her unofficial guardians and partners as Elle ends up being their new recruit in the fight against the rising community of vampires because of her unlikely ability to kill vampires. A vampire war is coming and Elle doesn't even consider not fighting in it. Especially after what they did to her new friend and potential love interest, Malcolm after she dragged him into her new life.
A cross between the Stephanie Plum novels and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, this new series will surely please many readers. For those who have read the Stephanie Plum novels I make this association because Stephanie Plum and Elle try their best at investigating but end up making the wrong choices most of the time. While the two series are in two completely different genres, Elle reminds me of Stephanie because she tries her best to accomplish things without necessarily being trained properly, and despite the dark events and death surrounding her life, she has a light and positive outlook on life.
LEGALLY UNDEAD is the first book in a new series and I recommend it to anyone who thinks vampires shouldn't be shiny or sexy. Margo Bond Collins introduces us to a dark side of New York City where vampires are not only killing and preying on humans but trying to gain power. I really hope to see more of Elle and the team because they are a great addition to the urban fantasy genre.
Character Profile
Greg Parham
Age: 25
Physical description from the book: Greg's eyes were open, but not seeing anything. There was blood everywhere–on the front of the man's suit, smeared across his face, trickling down Greg's side, dripping onto the carpet below the spot where Greg's feet barely brushed back and forth as he swung from the man's grip.
Quote that fits his personality: "Did you think I wouldn't recognize you? You might look different, but you smell exactly the same."
Best quality: He's committed to his career as an attorney.
Worst quality: He thinks that the best way to get ahead in his career is to become a bloodsucking fiend.

How to Challenge an Unfair Divorce Settlement
Very rarely (if ever) will divorcing spouses get everything they want in a divorce settlement. Instead, most divorces require compromise from both sides in order to resolve the case. As a result, many divorced spouses believe that they got a raw deal. This doesn't mean that they all have grounds to head back to court and set aside their divorce settlements.
However, if you received a truly unfair or unjust divorce settlement, you may be able to ask a court to reopen your case and take a second look at how the deal was made and whether or not it's unjust. You should know that you will have a very heavy burden in terms of getting a divorce settlement turned over. The exact legal showing you need to make will depend on the specific laws of your state, but generally speaking, the only way to have the court reopen your case is to show a judge that exceptional and compelling circumstances exist. This usually means that you have to prove that the settlement agreement itself is invalid for some reason and/or that the enforcement of the terms of the agreement would be oppressive, inequitable, and/or unjust.
How to Reopen Your Divorce Case
You will have to file a motion or petition (legal paperwork) with the court. An application to reopen your divorce case has to allege one of the following:
- deceit or fraud (for example, your spouse concealed information or gave you false information about an essential fact, such as the existence or true value of an asset)
- duress or undue influence (where one spouse used threats or coercion to force the other to accept and sign a settlement agreement)
- mistaken negotiations (you were mistaken about a material fact that influenced the negotiation or agreement), or
- a fundamental inequity or unfairness in the divorce agreement itself.
Duress and Undue Influence
Most spouses undergoing a divorce are under at least some sort of duress, meaning pressure to get the case settled. However, if one spouse used psychological pressure or threats of violence to force the other to accept an unfair divorce settlement, that is considered extreme duress and undue influence. Under these circumstances, it is possible to argue that consent was not valid because it was not free and voluntary and to have the divorce case reopened.
Getting Legal Help
Reopening a divorce case can be very challenging and legally complex. It's wise to consult with an experienced family law attorney in your area to determine whether you have a good case and how to get started.

Personal Information
Personal Bio
I have returned to the motherland (aka The Netherlands) to resume my study, which means that I am once again a student, which means I am once again broke. This coming year is going to be a really busy one and I hope to all the studying gods that I pass so that I will have a free summer to make costumes. XS
Have still not managed to win the lottery, get a well paying job or discovered a Unicorn, am muchly dissapointed. Cést La vie!
Cosplay Bio
Aaaah Cosplay. Such lofty dreams, such bleak reality. I generally only attend one summer convention a year but I want to change that so I'm going to have a look into conventions here in the Netherlands. My best cosplay event was definatly Ame08 where I actually managed to make 3 costumes. Since than things have gone slightly downhill and I have not made that much. Aya13 was more successfull. I made an aproximation of armour for the first time on a budget, did embroidery and had my costume worn by none other than Matt Mercer. XD
For 2014 I have a couple of costumes that I would really love to do.
So the plan is to:
1. Budget like a boss
2. Source the materials in good time
3. Pick a cosplay and stick to it
4. Start early... If possible
5. Buy own sewing beastie so that I don't have to worry about destroying my stepmothers vintage behemoth.

Window question.
Hi there, I have a MKII estate. The rubber seal at the bottom of the electric window (both passenger and driver) has a built up quite a garden of moss, even though I have done a fairly good job of cleaning this all up I have a problem in the fact that when the windows wind down the seal does not wipe the water off the windows so not only does it mean that I cannot clear them easily when the are wet but I am also worried that this means water will be able ot easily run down inside the door.
Any suggestions? Also wat is the technical name for this component should I have to replace it? Whenever I search for window seals I get the ones that run around the edge but not the bit at the bottom.
Many thanks for any help.
Window weatherstrip? They might call that part something different on that side of the pond- it happens like that. Are you sure you're not searching for Door weatherstrip instead of window? The window should only be the window channel and weatherstrip. The channel is the hard felt part that the window fits into, and the weatherstrip is the rubber wiper at the bottom of the window. The door weatherstrip is the foam rubber between the door and the body that is supposed to keep the air out.
I guess it would be the weatherstrip, the bit that scrapes the water etc off the window glass when you wind it down. This bit of rubber and felt doesn't contact the window glass at all anymore.
It is usually called a belt moulding or belt weatherstrip.
You need to have the understanding that there is NO WEATHERSTRIP ON THE PLANET that guarantees water not getting in door at all. The technology does not exist. ALL car doors have small drain holes on bottom of door to drain water that gets inside, in short they are designed to take on some amount of water getting inside. . The weatherstrip simply stops a LOT of the water from getting inside but not ALL, and no auto dealer on the planet will tell you the door is totally watertight at the bottom of window because it's NOT.
One incident of running window down in very icy conditions will cut the strip edge up enough that it will not wipe all water off, the ice frays the edge.
Like he said:
Doors need to drain, it's how they are all designed.
That's why they have all drain holes, and a water shield behind the door panel.
You might want new window "fuzzies" but it won't stop water ingress to the interior of the door.
Ok I get that the doors will need to drain, i was just mostly worried about large amounts pouring down there and also the fact that the windows don't get wiped off so the seal/fuzzie etc is not actually contacting the window it seems.
I believe I have found the correct part thanks to the search suggestions here, however it seems to be quite an involved job replacing them, anyone here done it and know of a quick way, I'd rather not remove the whole of the door panel just for a weather strip.
Door panels are easy, watch a youtube video if you want to see what you are taking apart. Few screws and a couple clips. 5-10 minutes for a first timer to remove it.
Well that's re-assuring. Might have a go once the weather warms/dries up a bit.

Anadarko to drill for oil in Kenya from December: govt official
By Kelly Gilblom
NAIROBI (Reuters) - Anadarko Petroleum is scheduled to begin exploring for oil and gas in Kenya in December, with plans to drill two wells, the Ministry of Energy's top official said Monday, continuing the east African country's surge of exploration activity.
The two wells, known as the Kiboko prospect in block L11B and the Kubwa prospect in block L7, will be drilled back to back and cost about $140 million each.
In recent months East Africa has been a centre of oil and gas exploration after several big discoveries, including Kenya's second ever oil find announced by British explorer Tullow Oil and Canadian venture partner Africa Oil last week.
Independent U.S. oil and gas company Anadarko has not yet decided which well will be bored first, but drilling is scheduled to start on December 13, according to Patrick Nyoike, Kenya's permanent secretary of energy.
The company is "drilling in Block L7 and Block L11B, back-to-back. We are now preparing them to start the drilling. I guess next year ... I'll be talking about billions of barrels discovered in Kenya," Nyoike told reporters on the sidelines of a nuclear power workshop.
Anadarko is the operator of blocks L7 and L11B and holds 45 percent of the licences in each. French oil major Total has a 40 percent stake, and Cove Energy holds the remainder.
Energy officials expect explorers to drill at least a dozen more wells in the next 12 months onshore and offshore Kenya.
The Kiboko and Kubwa prospects will be Anadarko's first wells in Kenya, though it made significant gas discoveries offshore Mozambique earlier this year. Continued...

I love this site. Thanks for reminding me of it!
I do like to use painter's tape to stitch along but it's a great tip for not sewing down the edge.
I am considering doing more straight line quilting. I have a Phaff which does great straight line stitching with the built in IDT. I is soooo costly to send quilts out for long arm quilting. I am doing lots of quilts lately and would like to quilt some on my own. ANa try as I might I am just no good at FMQ
So thanks, I have been looking at ideas for this, I like the random width, it looks very modern.
Your tute came just in time. I love to free motion quilt but it causes problems with my neck muscles and I need to do something else. I'll give it a try next time.
Thank You for the link. Sometimes we never think of the simple ways to do things. She has a lot of tutorials.
great tute for straight line quilting..thanks for sharing.. :thumbup:
Thanks for a great site!
I love this site that you provided. I'm not a seasoned quilter and I love the look of this simple quilting patterns. Thanks again.:thumbup:

Out of Bounds CrossFit
After nearly a decade spent working in the health and fitness industry, Joel Thomas wasn't content with his two master's degrees and time spent as a varsity strength and conditioning coach at both the University of Idaho and Washington State University. Joel founded his own practice under the name Out of Bounds CrossFit in 2007, which soon became a full-on CrossFit facility where Joel challenges and surprises members with an ever-changing regimen of fast-paced workouts. He uses kettlebells, medicine balls, dumbbells, and barbells that build muscle through functional movement rather than using machines that isolate individual muscle groups and weights that spit out a chocolate after every rep. Performed properly—that is, with energy and purpose—Joel's approach can increase endurance, strength, and flexibility, and improve overall body composition.

Used pallet rack is a storage system for material handling settings designed to store materials that are placed on pallets, or "palletized". Pallets are then placed on horizontal rows of racking that contains multiple vertical levels. Forklifts are used to pick and store pallets on used pallet racks, and they can be either LIFO or FIFO style inventory storage. There are many different styles of used pallet racking to choose from, and based on your specific needs, ASI is here to help.(click here to view entire article)
Some of the more common types of used pallet racking include drive in/ drive through, pushback, and pallet flow, although there are many others. Drive in/drive through pallet rack allows for forklifts to drive directly into the lane where the product is being stored. The difference between the two is drive in pallet rack doesn't allow for the forklift to drive all the way through the racking, whereas drive through does.
Even though drive in pallet racking doesn't allow for a forklift to drive though, they can be placed back to back, reducing the number of aisles by half when compared to drive through. This allows for increased storage density, and it also means less rows for forklifts to travel to retrieve product.
Used pushback pallet rack takes advantage of depth of storage and allows for pallets to be stored up six deep, which also allows for less rows. Pallets are stored on flow rails, which allow for it to be pushed back into the racking. The rails are angled towards the front of the used pallet rack, so when a pallet is taken away, the rest of the pallets in that row slide forward. This style of storing inventory is considered LIFO, because the last product to be stored is the first product to be picked.
Used pallet flow racking is similar in style to pushback, except pallet flow rack is stocked from the back and picked from the front, whereas pushback pallet rack is picked and stocked in the front. Pallets are stocked in the back of the racking, which contains flow rails that are angled towards the front, allowing for the pallet to slide to the front of the used pallet rack. This is a FIFO style of inventory, because the first item stored slides all the way to the front of the racking is picked first.
ASI carries many different types of specialty used pallet rack as well, including used carpet rack, reel rack, structural rack, stack rack, and more. As you can see there are many different types of used pallet racking to choose from, so feel free to give us a call. Our sales team will happily work with you to answer any questions and to determine the ideal pallet rack for your material handling needs.

Special Contributor Texas A&M
Merriam-Webster defines grand larceny as "the crime of stealing something that is very valuable". In the case of the use of the 12th Man slogan by the Seattle Seahawks, a new term should be coined: "The Five Grand Larceny".
In 1922, a young man named E. King Gill from Texas A&M came out of the stands and suited up for the Aggie football team as players were getting injured left and right and the team was literally running out of able bodies. While Gill never actually played in the game, it spawned a tradition that involves the student body standing during the entire game, ready to be called into battle if needed. A brand new statue of Gill is being unveiled tomorrow at Kyle Field, the real HOME OF THE 12TH MAN.
Somewhere along the way in the early oughts, a gaggle of Seahawks fans started using the moniker as their own. A&M had officially trademarked the name "12TH Man" in 1990. After this theft of the name began to resonate and build some steam up in Seattle, A&M sent a cease and desist letter. Finally, the university and the professional football team reached a settlement in 2006. Let's just call it one of the worst negotiated deals in sports business history.
Texas A&M agreed to let the Seahawks use the 12th Man name if they would make an initial one lump sum payment of $100,000 and a $5,000 contribution annually for five years through 2011. That's right, the most tradition rich university in the country practically agreed to share the rights for a mere $125,000 with the stipulation being that Seattle could not benefit off of merchandising using the logo.
Naturally the Seahawks renewed that agreement in 2011 because hell, what billion dollar organization wouldn't take that steal…er deal? Flash forward to Seattle winning Super Bowl XLVIII in 2014, and suddenly the bandwagon of the faux 12th Man is raging louder than ever. As a 3rd generation Aggie, this is bothersome on so many levels. One, you can bet your bottom dollar that 80% of those fans inside Century Link Field have no idea that their beloved organization essentially stole a tradition that was born nearly a century ago. You can also bet that they sit their asses down every time the ball changes possession. Something that no true Aggie would ever dream of doing during once in four hours even in 100 degree plus heat.
Secondly, A&M is seeing a complete resurrection of their football program by building a winning team again but also through incredible, creative branding, the likes of which little ol' College Station has never seen. It truly boggles the mind that anybody would have ever agreed to such a chump change deal at only $5,000 per year. The current agreement is set to expire in 2016 and the going rate next time around needs to start at 5 million dollars per season at a bare minimum. Otherwise, shut it down. If Texas A&M has any sense of pride in E. King Gill, it's student body, and all that the 12th Man stands for then it better prove itself by upping the ante. Otherwise, if the five grand larceny is allowed to continue beyond two years from now, there better be some administration heads rolling.

self-contained metallic cartridges began appearing in the early 1860s, one thing quickly
noticed was the buildup of powder fouling in the guns firing them. Revolver cylinders
stopped revolving, cartridges refused to chamber fully, and accuracy was noticeably
At the
time the only possible substitute for black powder was the various fulminates. (Remember
the Volcanic repeating rifle and pistol, forerunners of the Henry?) These compounds were
normally used in very small quantities in
percussion caps and as priming compound in rimfire and later centerfire cartridges.
Use of
fulminates as a propelling charge was never successful. Results ranged from poor accuracy
to an entire magazineful of cartridges detonating at the drop of the hammer. Flying gun
parts and wood splinters did nothing to enhance such ammunitions reputation.
would have to be done because a new development demanded cleaner ammunition. By 1880 the
invention of Dr. Richard Gatling was well known to the armies of the world. American
association with the Gatling gun is probably best remembered for someone who could have
taken a couple with him, but didnt a fellow by the name of George Armstrong
Custer. It was later learned the general thought the Gatlings would hamper his mobility.
Sioux warriors hampered it a lot more.
It was
the British who really used the Gatling. Firing the .577/450 Martini-Henry cartridge, the
gun was introduced to the Zulu in the late 1870s and the rest of Africa by the early
1880s. Make no mistake, those guns worked well but could be put out of service by fouling.
It was
a Frenchman by the name of Paul Marie Eugene Vielle (also spelled Vieille) who led the way
in solving the black-powder problem. What Vielle did was learn to control nitrocellulose,
a combination of guncotton (cellulose) and nitric acid. The resultant wet compound was
rolled into very thin sheets, cut into strips and then cut again into small flakes. Time
frame was 1883-1884, with 1885 seeing production of a new propellant called Poudre B.
new powder almost eliminated fouling, allowing bullet diameter to drop dramatically and
still maintain adequate accuracy. Development of the machine gun began in earnest.
all citizens were happy, however. In most of the world at the time, everyone mistrusted
everyone else. Only the French had smokeless powder. Only the French could use it in the
new rifle and machine gun designs. A lot of folks didnt like that much. Germany,
which had been the winning side in the Franco-Prussian War, didnt like it at all
because it rendered its new 11mm black powder repeating rifle obsolete overnight!
are many interesting stories regarding German response to the French development. It is
known, for example, that a Lebel rifle and ammunition were in German hands before issue to
French troops. Some say a deserter escaped with them thinking the Germans might be
interested enough to part with a bit of gold for the privilege of owning them. Another
story names the deserter as a German agent. Yet another states it was well known
throughout Europe that a lot of money would be traded for knowledge of the new smokeless
powder by various parties.
the intrigue makes interesting reading, but in reality the simplicity of the process
guaranteed it wouldnt be a secret very long. Indeed, Germany was also working on
such a powder by 1883 but was using wood as a source of cellulose instead of cotton. This
didnt work well. Thus by 1887, and probably earlier, Germany knew how to produce a
smokeless powder reasonably close to the French product. All they needed was a little
using the new propellant in an improved military rifle cartridge, however, the Germans and
French went in different directions. French Lebel rounds were rimmed and quite large at
the base an aging design. Bullet diameter was .323 inch.
planners realized there could be no doubt of the impact the machine gun would have on
future military events. Smaller, lighter guns with improved feed mechanisms could be
devised thanks to improved cartridges made possible by smokeless powder. Germanys
new cartridge would take machine gun thinking into account in no small way.
of the bullet of the new round was .005 inch smaller than the Lebel, or .318 inch. Unlike
the fat, rimmed Lebel, the German case was narrower with no protruding rim. Instead the rim (obviously
necessary for extraction of fired cases) was the same diameter as the case body above the
rim. A recess for the extractor was machined into the case, thus forming the rim. Also,
the case was bottle-shaped (larger diameter body that tapered down to hold the bullet by
way of an angled shoulder) like the Lebel. Having no rim, however, the new case headspaced
on the shoulder. Case length was 57mm. The new round was designated 7.9mm Patrone M88
(7.9mm Cartridge Model 1888.)
of this case style is not German, instead generally credited to a Colonel Rubin, director
of the Swiss Laboratory at Thun, Switzerland. Feeding in machine guns was a parameter.
Rubin was using compressed black-powder charges behind bullets of 7 to 9mm in diameter in
his experiments.
capacity of the German cartridge came to about 7 percent less than the Lebel.
Nevertheless, ballistics were nearly identical. The Lebel used a 232-grain roundnose
bullet at a published 2,060 fps muzzle velocity; the 7.9mm achieved 2,067 fps with a
227-grain roundnose.
had in the 7.9mm M88 cartridge what was without doubt the best military rifle and machine gun cartridge in the world at the time.
This did not mean it was without problems.
unanticipated glitches could only be discovered by using the round in the field and seeing
what didnt work. This occurred with the brass alloy from which the cartridge case
was made. Early 67/33 percent copper/zinc alloy proved too hard, necessitating a softer
72/28 percent mix.
inadequate neck tension allowed the bullet to become loose. Stab crimps were applied to
the neck to remedy this, and eventually neck wall thickness was increased. Then case necks
began cracking at the stab crimp marks. Finally, neck annealing such as used on case necks
today was developed. As machine gun designs progressed, further strength problems with the
case cropped up. All were solved by unseen changes to case wall taper or thickness.
widely debated is the variance of internal barrel dimensions and bullet diameters of early
7.9mm arms and ammunition. The topic often makes use of the terms J-bore, Z-bore,
S-barrel, J-bullet and S-bullet. This writer has reviewed at least eight different
explanations over the years and no two are exactly alike! Lets look at a few facts,
then see if we can figure out what was going on.
first fact is that bore diameter (hole reamed in barrel before rifling) for the 7.9mm
cartridge has always been 7.9mm (.311 inch). Why some call it an 8mm is unknown. The M88
cartridge used an 8.1mm (.3189 inch) diameter bullet (J-bullet). Rifling depth for the M88
barrel was 0.1mm (.0039 inch). Simple addition now reveals that barrel groove diameter
(J-bore) and bullet diameter were identical at 8.1mm.
M88 ammunition with its long, hard jacketed bullet pushed by the new smokeless powder was
fired in these barrels, the rifling quickly wore away and barrels ruptured, split or just
plain blew out in various locations near the breech. Such was not desirable. Failures were
blamed on the bullet being too large in diameter, though erosive, unstable powder was more
likely at fault.
a remedy, rifling groove depth was increased from 0.1mm to 0.15mm. We now have a groove
diameter of 8.2mm (.323 inch). Neither bore nor bullet diameter were changed. These
barrels had a Z stamped on them (Z-bore). Gas
leakage past the bullet stopÂped barrel blow-outs and deeper rifling gave longer barrel
life. Remember, Germany was after better field results from the average soldiers
rifle, not smaller benchÂrest groups.
the 7.9mm S (Spitzgeschoss or pointed bullet)
cartridge was adopted in 1903, its bullet was 8.2mm (.323 inch) in diameter (S-bullet),
very pointed and only 154 grains in weight. Velocity is given as 2,930 fps. Smokeless
powder employed was of a more highly developed type using deterrent coatings to control
burning rate. Gas leakage past the bullet was no longer necessary. Bullets were shorter,
which reduced jacket fouling and rifling wear.
barrels on the strong Model 98 actioned rifles were chambered for the S-cartridge. Weaker
Model 88 rifles having the larger Z-bores were rechambered for the S-cartridge by opening
the chamber neck diameter and freeboring to further relieve pressure. These barrels
received an S stamp (S-barrel).
this isnt confusing enough, military J-bore barrels were sold to private gunsmiths
for many years. Riflemakers also continued to produce barrels having J-bore dimensions
long after they were dropped by the military. Thus where they may show up is anyones
guess. Any early sporter or Model 88 rifle should have its bore slugged before firing.
Pushing a jacketed .323-inch slug down a .318-inch barrel could damage a fine, old rifle.
after adoption of the 7.9mm S-cartridge, its cupro-nickel coated steel jacket was found to
give excessive bore fouling in machine guns. The solution was to replace the cupro-nickel
with Tombak, the German equivalent of gilding metal.
a few years experience with the 7.9mm round, many military-use loadings were developed;
tracer, armor piercing, incendiary, aerial spotting, explosive, ball, grenade launching,
signal, blank, tropical, tool cartridges, multiple bullet and on and on are some of the
varieties. All these and more were either made or contracted
by each of the several nations that
adopted the round as their service cartridge. It is probable that there are more varieties
of the 7.9x57mm round than any other cartridge ever made. At least 40 countries have
loaded the ammunition!
a successful military round meant automatic success in the civilian market as a hunting
cartridge. In Germany, Mauser offered its commercial sporters in the 7.9mm chambering.
Countless small gun builders produced Mauser-actioned hunting rifles for export to Asia,
Africa and South America. Few, however, were seen in the U.S. or Canada.
is safe to say, every producer of sporting ammunition in the world has made 7.9mm at some
time. Varieties are almost as endless as military rounds.
to home, CIL of Canada for many years loaded a 170-grain softpoint at 2,530 fps muzzle
velocity. This yielded 2,415 foot-pounds (ft-lbs) of energy. The slug had a rather blunt
point and was given a streamlined profile in the 1950s. Velocity was also upped to 2,570
America, Federal, Remington and Winchester all offer only one loading today. Its a
170-grain softpoint at 2,360 fps from the
muzzle of a 24-inch barrel. Worry of the rounds being fired in the
old Model 88 Commission Rifle is probably the reason. The 7.9x57mm is far better than
ammunition is a different story. RWS, DWM and Norma turn up the speed significantly.
Bullets weighing 185 to 200 grains are available at published velocities over 2,600 fps.
Bullets of 170 grains can be driven at least 2,700 fps; 150 grainers can reach 3,000 in
some rifles. This equals or exceeds the .308 Winchester.
too can make the 7.9mm shine. There is an adequate variety of high-quality hunting bullets
available, and empty cases are not hard to find. Often the above velocities can be safely
exceeded in individual rifles due to the long throats seen in many 7.9mm chambers. If ever
a round existed that careful handloaders can really make perform, this old cartridge is
it. A little field use will leave experienced riflemen wondering why many of the newer
small cartridges were ever created.

Pearl phenom one-ups jaded Chinese joints
Sungari's new outpost shines bright
As increasingly terrific as Portland dining may be, one complaint surfaces again and again, especially from transplanted San Franciscans: There's no good Chinese food.
A cluster of venerable Cantonese, Sichuan and dim sum restaurants in Chinatown does little to silence the laments. The atmosphere of these joints typically is noirish, and the food Ñ which can be greasy and fatty Ñ doesn't suit palates accustomed to lean chicken breast, crispy vegetables and sparkling-fresh seafood. They're great for living out scenes from 1940s cinema classics or for grabbing a fast, inexpensive lunch, but these creaky, fluorescent-lit restaurants do not beckon when you're in the market for a nice meal.
Since the elegant Sungari Restaurant opened downtown nearly three years ago, diners' gripes have become less credible. And now, the arrival of sister restaurant Sungari Pearl should convince even staunch naysayers that fine, innovative Chinese cuisine exists in Portland.
To keep up with its chic Pearl District neighbors, Sungari Pearl signed up for a full prescription of industrial-chic dŽcor: acid-treated concrete floor, exposed shiny ductwork suspended from the warehouse-height ceilings, a sand-and-cinnamon color palette and tasteful Chinese artifacts. Despite the cavernous setting, this restaurant has a warmer, softer ambience than its austere, gray-toned cousin on Southwest First Avenue.
Many staples of the original menu also appear at Sungari Pearl, including such gems as prawns in spicy tangy sauce, Mongolian beef and chicken with young ginger.
The most impressive of several new offerings are a pair of unusual soups. Creamy chicken-corn soup with crabmeat is served for two ($7.95) from a large tureen that keeps the excess warm at your table while you savor every bite of the silken creation. Corn and fresh crab impart a wonderfully light, sweet flavor to a brew that is creamy but not overly rich. Tender chicken breast chunks render the soup a hearty first course.
The second soup stars wintermelon, an Asian vegetable that resembles a small watermelon with white flesh that turns translucent and soft when cooked. It has a clean, neutral taste and fibrous texture. The wintermelon morsels swim with tiny threads of ham, which lend a needed dose of salt.
An appetizer sampler includes a pair of crunchy vegetable spring rolls, jumbo fried prawns, cold, thinly sliced beef with a zingy, gelatinous sauce and brazen, peanutty noodles topped with cabbage slaw. The platter warms up your appetite without killing it.
Hunan lamb is not listed on the menu, but your waiter may recommend it if you express interest in the similarly prepared Hunan pork. The spicy black bean sauce forms a glaze for tender strips of lamb, its heat gaining momentum as you work through the dish, without pummeling your taste buds.
Seafood with fried tofu is the most successful of the claypot entrees. The lively mix of scallops, prawns, artfully sliced calamari, onions, tomatoes, potatoes and black mushrooms caramelizes as it cooks in the trapped heat of a ceramic pot. The calamari is a bit tough, a contrast made more pronounced by the other juicy fruits of the sea. And meaty black mushrooms have a pungent, acrid flavor that isn't to everyone's liking.
Seafood entrees in general are a treat at Sungari Pearl, but the prawn and scallop choices are a much better value than specials featuring Australian lobster, which run about $40 to $50. Less flavorful than Atlantic lobster, it's not worth the expense no matter how meltingly tender the meat. Lightly battered and sautŽed with ginger and scallion, the bland lobster doesn't stand a chance next to piquant strips of ginger.
While Sungari Pearl satisfies cravings for favorites like General Tso's chicken and twice-cooked pork, it excels at injecting adventure back into Chinese dining. The witty waiters lavish attention on guests in a manner that is genuine, not smothering, making suggestions that are truly thoughtful.
Like most Asian restaurants, dessert is not a priority, but there is one stellar confection that is not to be missed. Half-inch banana slices are battered and fried Ñ making their insides gooey and sugary Ñ and complemented by vanilla ice cream studded with candied ginger. That's just one of the refined details that elevates Sungari Pearl into a league of its own.

My FIL just passed and while making arrangements I saw this ....I really like it.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
My FIL just passed and while making arrangements I saw this ....I really like it.
Gosh I have that same quilt!! It is a purchased one from a long time ago and I still use it everyday!! Pretty neat idea.
That's interesting. I was thinking of that when there was a discussion of Coffin Quilts. I thought it meant a long, slim quilt for a coffin and I wondered if anyone was doing that.
Might be morbid but some people might really appreciate it. Could always make up a few and take them to funeral homes.
:thumbup: What a wonderful idea.Originally Posted by pittsburgpam
So beautiful. I worked at a funeral home/flower shop/ for many years and you leave every day counting your blessings.
I'd prefer that over satin!!!!!
I made a very small quilt to put in the hands of a loved one when she died and I made a quilt to wrap our cat in when she died. They gave me peace to make. I have never seen a full casket lined with a quilt before, but it sure is beautiful!

Actors such as Jeetendra, Tusshar Kapoor, Vivek Oberoi among others shared their fondest memories from the Ganesh Chaturthi festival.
Hrithik Roshan's family took the idol of Ganpati amid dhols and dance.
Amitabh Bachchan, Sridevi, Madhuri Dixit and other Bollywood stars stressed on the need to go eco-friendly to celebrate the Ganesh Chaturthi festival as a step towards a better tomorrow.
Like every year, Salman Khan's family has brought an eco-friendly Bappa home and Arpita took to Twitter to share a picture of their Ganpati.
Ganesh Chaturthi, the 10-day festival to celebrate the favourite elephant god of the Hindus, kicked off on Thursday. The festivities will g on till September 27.
Akshay Kumar, who has fond memories of Ganesh Chaturthi, has appealed to his fans to have eco-friendly idols at home if possible.
The court also took note of the petitioner's submission that the pandals in many cases were put up by prominent leaders.
While Ganesh Chaturthi special episodes are doing rounds on the small screen, off screen too, Sharad Kelkar, Hiten Tejwani, Sukirti Kandpal and others are waiting for 'Bappa' to come home.
Center directs states, UTs tomaintain special vigil as preventive measures to thwart any communal tension or law and order situations.
Earlier, all political parties in civic body had opposed any such restrictions
Last week, a notice had been issued barring all processions transporting idols to mandals before 9 pm.
Raqesh Vashishth is a good sculptor and has been busy preparing his own Ganesha for Ganesh Chaturthi, which falls on September 17.
While the Jain festival begins from September 10 to 17, the Hindu festival of Ganesh Chaturthi begins on September 17.

Tesla Model S Could Land 265-Mile Range Rating from the EPA

High-end Tesla Model S could be the most efficient EV in the land
Tesla is set to put its Model S all-electric sedan on the market a few months ahead of schedule, with the first customer deliveries taking place next month. Another bit of good news for Tesla and the people who are waiting for their Model S to take up residence in their driveway has surfaced.
Motor Trend
reports that the top-of-the-line (85 kWh) Model S is expected to earn a window sticker rating from the EPA showing a 265-mile driving range.
There has been confusion on the driving range for a fully charged Model S, mostly because multiple numbers have been thrown around since the vehicle was first unveiled. The driving range has been at different times said to be 160-miles, 230-miles, and 300-miles depending upon the size of the battery pack installed. Tesla also recently noted that the car was able to achieve a 320-mile driving range on a full charge in the EPA's 2-cycle driving test.
The new 265-mile range for the window sticker is based on the EPA's new five-cycle test. If Tesla is able to land that 265-mile driving range on the EPA's new test, the Model S will be massively superior to other electric vehicles, such as the
Nissan Leaf
, which was only able to muster a 73-mile driving range on the same test. Granted, the high-end Model S is much more expensive than the Leaf.
The real world driving distance will likely vary significantly, depending on where the vehicle is operated and how heavy the driver's right foot is.
The Model S is also available with smaller 40 kWh or 60 kWh battery packs. The
base Model S will sell for $57,400
and range up to $105,400 for higher end versions with an 85 kWh lithium-ion battery. Tesla has 10,000 orders in hand for the new Model S EV.
Word that the car may come early sent shares of
Tesla stock surging

The same thing happens on the flip-side to buyers. One time, I purchased a nice UD Black Flag patch auto on COMC which I thought I got a pretty decent deal on, but I didn't notice the nasty gash in the side of the flag window from the scan (I now have 0 interest in keeping it). It was too late as I had already purchased the card. I informed COMC about the damage, to which they FINALLY gave it a condition note (which should have been there in the first place), making it impossible for me to try to get rid of the thing at even close to what I paid for it. In this case, as the buyer, I ate it.
I have had some of the same speed issues as you.
Yes, yes, I make pricing errors all the time, inadvertently giving great deals, and I just suck it up, like everyone does. The case I have described, however, involves a clear *mislabeling* of the item as a product worth one fifth as much. If Best Buy accidentally attaches a tag reading "Samsung 26 inch - $200" to a 50 inch $1000 television, a buyer who insists on getting that mislabeled 50 inch TV for $200 is laughed out of the store. If you go to Vegas and see that Caesars Palace has accidentally listed San Francisco at +3.5 instead of -3.5 and you rush to put $1000 on it, good luck cashing out -- you may even be 86'd. Obtaining good deals is obviously different than trying to capitalize on typos.

My name is Chris and I suffer from Disnesia, the selective ability to overlook long lines, oppressive heat, and the hissyfit my daughter threw over a balloon in front of Mickey's Country House in favor of more pleasant vacation moments.
And no, I'm not looking for a cure.
It's probably true that no single vacation destination has the potential, despite admirable efforts on the part of Disney itself to mitigate these problems, for more small disasters than Walt Disney World. When you think about it, it makes sense: Crowds, crying children who've missed their naps, stressed out parents and worn out wallets. And then there's the heat, but not just the normal heat you're probably used to during the summer, but heat with humidity, the kind that makes being outdoors nothing less than miserable for several months out of the year. Despite this, when most of us describe a trip to Disney, we remember the good things far more than the bad. Talk to an older couple with grown children about the trip they took when their kids were little or your neighbor who just went for the first time and you get the same response almost every time: It was magical.
Obviously, there's one explanation for this: Disnesia. Now, I'm not saying there aren't perfect Disney vacations. In fact, I think most Disney vacations lean more toward perfect than disasterous, regardless of crowd levels or the weather. Most of mine have been great. But my last trip in December taught me something, and that is that bad, really bad, Disney vacations do happen.
The biggest part of our problem wasn't anyone's fault but our own: We took our then 22-month old twins and they just weren't ready for the abrupt change in their schedules, the most dramatic consequence being that they simply did not sleep much at all. This meant, not surprisingly, that no one slept much at all even though we'd had the hindsight to at least rent a three-bedroom condo. Most of the problems were, in hindsight, quite comical, but when you're "that parent" chasing a screaming toddler around the Magic Kingdom, and you're paying a lot of money to do so, it can seem pretty miserable.
Our trip was so bad that my husband and I both vowed on our last night in Orlando that we wouldn't be back until the twins were at least two years older. I felt fine with that. I was done, for the time being, with Disney. It was always going to be there, the economy was bad, and we owed my in-laws a trip out West. Secretly, as the words were coming out of my mouth, I was already hatching a plot for a girls only trip the next year like the Disney-obsessed woman that I am. And then the next morning as we packed up to go home, I decided I would take our older son next December as well. He'd been so patient during the trip and there were so many things he didn't get a chance to do because my husband and I were busy wrangling the twins. I casually mentioned this to my husband, who rolled his eyes or did some other husband-like behavior that showed his disbelief and we left it at that.
It probably took all of two weeks before I decided that the whole family would all go back again in December. If you haven't guessed, I'm the Disney trip planner in the family. I started remembering the good things that happened, how much our daughter loved running around in Ariel's Grotto, how her twin brother, when he wasn't pulling her hair in the stroller, enjoyed It's a Small World. I vowed that I'd be better informed this time and rationalized that the kids would be older. And then my daughter discovered (I have no idea how this happened. Ahem.) Disney princesses and well, it's was all over. We were going back to Disney.
I think this is what Disney does best, creating the sort of moments that somehow stick in your mind more distinctly than the bad ones, even on a trip that was just plain rotten. The good ones, well, they're really good. Either that, or there's something in that confetti they're sprinkling everywhere.

A Paris court reportedly has fined Jean-François Dérec, a French-Jewish comedian and promoter of anti-racism campaigns, for using racial slurs against a black man.
According to Le Parisien, Dérec, a television celebrity and stand-up comedian, last year used a pejorative word in addressing a black security guard in Paris, whom he also called "dirty." The Paris correctional court fined Derec $2,500 last week, according to the paper.
Derec, an Ashkenazi Jew who often jokes about his Jewishness in shows, got into an argument with the security guard after the guard would not let Derec into a building in Paris in November of last year, according to Le Parisien and other media. The security guard filed a complaint against Derec two days later.
Derec, who is among the sponsors and promoters of the French anti-discrimination platform SOS Racisme, said in a court hearing in August that he cursed at the security guard but never uttered racial slurs. "I never called anyone a… I can't even say this here in court," he said then.
Le Parisien quoted him as calling the ruling "scandalous," adding: "Being branded a racist, that's the worst." Derec has not yet decided whether to appeal the ruling, the report said.

I don't have a video, but I got a few tips.
1. Make sure you take a good look at the current one so you know how it should sit.
2. Keep the trigger in its most forward position. Tape helps.
3. Make a slave pin. This helped me on my USP. Use it to keep the spring in place and help line it up.
Just be prepared to walk away from it for a bit. The first time can be really frustrating.

Free solo show about mother-daughter
relationship at Liston Campus April 13
April 9, 2012
The Charles Sullivan Fund for the Arts and Humanities, the Community College of Rhode Island Performing Arts Department and CCRI Players will present Mary-Beth Manning in a free performance of her acclaimed solo play "MOTHER" at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, April 13, at the CCRI Liston Campus, 1 Hilton St., Providence.
The play, subtitled "she's with you wherever you go," is the story of one daughter's journey to find herself, even with her mother's apron strings tethered around her neck. According to Manning's website, it's a true tale about an extraordinary Irish-Catholic mother and a complicated relationship that will take the audience on a roller-coaster journey from survival to forgiveness and all the insane and life-affirming moments in between.
LA Weekly, which nominated "MOTHER" for best solo performance, wrote, "… lively and well-crafted, writer, actor Mary-Beth Manning's show pays tribute to her mother's expansive spirit, Manning's storytelling gifts, her timing and sense of irony create an entertaining and involving solo show that transcends the ordinary … a poignant climax."
After playing in California, "MOTHER" made its New York City debut at the 15th annual New York International Fringe Festival in 2011.
The Charles Sullivan Fund for the Arts and Humanities, created in honor of longtime CCRI professor and arts advocate Charles Sullivan, supports a variety of cultural, arts and humanities opportunities that benefit students, faculty and staff at the community college's four campuses.

I remember the exact time and place when Northwest Coast art and life came together for me – when I first truly understood just how integrated the two are for many indigenous people living there (and elsewhere for that matter). It was 2001, and I was in Tsaxis, Fort Rupert, on the east coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, at the northern tip. It was my first trip to this neck of the woods, and I was with my former boss at the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI), Mary Jane Lenz, and exhibition project consultants Peter Macnair and Jay Stewart. We had, just hours before, attended a 12-hour memorial potlatch at the Bighouse, a large wooden building used for Kwakwaka'wakw dancing and band gatherings. We were there bearing witness to a family honoring a deceased relative, as part of the curatorial research for NMAI's 2005 exhibition, Listening to our Ancestors: The Art of Native Life Along the North Pacific Coast.
Straight from Anthropology 101: at a potlatch, hosts give their guests quantities of gifts and perform songs and dances to manage relations with family, ancestors, and the supernatural world. In return, guests validate the host's demonstration of high social standing and economic wealth. Culture bearers – chiefs, ritual specialists, and performers – dressed in their finest regalia dance, sing, and drum. These gift-giving feasts continue to bring Northwest Coast communities together at occasions of births, deaths, weddings, and other major life events in places like the Bighouse as seen below.
Inside the Fort Rupert Bighouse, a fire blazed in the center of the dirt floor. Peter speaks Kwakwala, the indigenous language spoken by the Kwakwaka'wakw, and lived in the community for a number of years. He translated for us throughout the elaborate, theatrical performances. Dancers wore masks and capes, shook rattles, and sang songs that were given to them at the beginning of time. It was impressive – all of it – and it went on for about 12 hours. All that notwithstanding, it wasn't until the next day that the coalescence of art and life hit me over the head like a ton of bricks.
After the potlatch, the next day, the four of us were walking around the forest outside of town, and Peter showed us a stand of cedar trees. He explained why cedar is preferred for carving masks. He talked to us about cedar bark, and when and how people strip the bark for weaving baskets and capes. Before harvesting can begin, artists make offerings to the tree for giving them beautiful materials.
It was misty (we were in a temperate rain forest, after all). We piled back into the car, and Peter started telling us about the giant named Dzunukwa who lives deep in the mountains and forests. Known as the "Wild Woman of the Woods," Dzunukwa is recognizable by her dark skin and messy hair, and for crying "Hu! Hu!" through her pursed mouth. She stuffs misbehaving children into a big basket on her back and carries them off, but because she is pretty slow, she can be easily outwitted. She's not all bad though. She owns the wealth of the forest, including the highly-valued mineral copper, and bestows gifts of good fortune to those who befriend her. She appears at many occasions of wealth-giving, including the potlatch we saw the night prior.
So Peter is relaying this to us, and I asked if she used to live in these particular woods. Jay turned to look at me from the front seat, responding with, "Used to live? No, she didn't used to live here. She lives here." Notice, emphasis on the present tense.
Light dawns slowly on marble head…as we say on the North Shore of Boston.
Ohhhhh. Okay. Got it. She LIVES here. She liiiiiiiives here. Still here. Living.
It was a humble moment for me. I don't know why it hadn't all fully clicked into place before. I thought it had, yet, it was then that I truly understood. These stories aren't just stories. They are lived experiences. Still. Living experiences. Art is life on the Northwest Coast.
This is the main point I want people to take away from Raven's Many Gifts: Native Art of the Northwest Coast, which runs at PEM from April 5, 2014 – mid-2015. That art IS life on the Northwest Coast. It wasn't just happening then. It is still happening now.
I chose three themes to underscore this idea of the integration of art and life: Living Stories, Family Connections, and Market Innovations. Three masks introduce the exhibition, conveying ancestral narratives and cultural values. Raven's Many Gifts includes historic and contemporary art: jewelry, textiles, masks, prints and a video installation by rising star Nicholas Galanin that is a mash-up of the past and present.
In this two-part video, Galanin opens a dialogue between past and present. In Part I, the non-Native hip-hop dancer David "Elsewhere" Bernal free-forms to traditional Tlingit chanting and drums. In Part II, the Tlingit dancer Dan Littlefield, wearing full regalia and carrying a raven rattle, moves in customary ways to electronic beats.
Northwest Coast people incorporate art into all aspects of life, continuing traditions of visual expression into the present that reflect dynamic and ongoing relationships among humans, ancestors, and supernatural beings. The past and present merge into one continuum. Come see for yourself.

Hello everyone. I am new here. This is my first post
I recently changed my compound bow, going from a Browning Eclipse SLX, to an Elite Envy. The latter was bought used, as it is no longer in production.
Upon purchasing the bow, I had the pro shop change the arrow rest from the original Trophy Taker, to a Fuse Ultra Rest (same as QAD Ultra Rest). The shop tuned the bow, and performed paper tuning. I then sighted in the bow and it shoots straight from 20 to 50 yards. I could not help but notice that when an arrow is nocked, it points right of the sight pins. I always thought that everything was meant to be aligned. BTW, this is a binary cam compound bow, with no cable yoke, and the two cams are offset to the left. Is this normal or is something out of whack?
BTW, when i move the arrow rest to the left, to get everything aligned, the tip hits left of the fletching when shooting through paper.
Thanks in advance.

|Your upper photo shows the square finger tip of the plastic cam is worn out.
During the spin cycle, the finger should engage securely to the square (should be rectangular) holes on the clutch side.
Due to the wear of the tip, the finger fails to engage securely and bangs onto the end part of the spring on the clutch side.
You need a new cam!

Written on: 22/08/2006 by rho (1 review written)
I bought my EM3000 sewing and embroidery machine from www.joyssewingmachines.co.uk. It looks to be solidly built, and Joy's service warranties appear impressive (untested). It is an embroidery machine that can also be used as a sewing machine. The embroidery area is a good size, and it was way cheaper than the name-brand competition.
There is no needle up/down control in utility sewing, no help with threading, thread-cutting or locking at end of a seam. Clunky, hard-to-turn knobs for stitch-select and stitch-length. Crude tension control. Front-loading, non-transparent bobbin. Switching between embroidery and regular sewing requires you to change the table (which is not easy, as the embroidery table is heavy and has to be lined up just so). The other bad points are the foot (with a screw knob, not a quick-release lever), the stitch length knob (to drop/raise the feed dogs manually), the upper thread tension (manual reset again) and possibly the stitch selector.
This feels like a machine of 15 years ago. I'm sending mine back to the manufacturer and will buy something else.

Reuters: Einhorn Makes Another Successful Short Bet, This Time with U.S. Steel
Posted by: Holly LaFon (IP Logged)
Date: June 19, 2012 05:16PM
David Einhorn, manager of hedge fund Greenlight Capital, has made several outstanding and much-discussed short investments. One has been overlooked, according to Reuters:
Hedge fund manager David Einhorn, best known for his prescient short bet against Lehman Brothers and recently, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, hasn't received the same attention for another notable bearish call - United States Steel.
The Greenlight Capital (GLRE) manager unveiled his negative critique of U.S. Steel at the Ira Sohn charitable conference on May 16, where more attention was focused on Einhorn's bearish views on industrial goods company Martin Marietta Materials (MLM) and online retailer Amazon.com (AMZN).
Yet it's Einhorn's U.S. Steel (X) call that has outperformed, after the closely watched hedge fund manager zeroed in on the company's poor earnings, high pension costs and the impact of China's slowing demand for iron ore.
As of Monday's close, the steelmaker's stock price was down 23.1 percent since the popular conference, where top hedge fund managers reveal their best investing ideas. Meanwhile, shares of Martin Marietta have lost about 8.5 percent over the same time period and Amazon's stock is down 0.8 percent. Hedge fund managers like Einhorn are not required to disclose their short positions. But it's widely believed that Einhorn's $7.8 billion Greenlight Capital is looking to profit from a drop in the stock price of all three companies.
[b]Einhorn's Call[/b]
The day of the conference, Einhorn's criticisms of Martin Marietta immediately cut about 14 percent off the stock before it recovered a bit that day to close down roughly 8 percent. Shares of [b][b][b][b]U.S. Steel[/b][/b][/b][/b], meanwhile, ended the day down 4.9 percent.

ED Magedson – Founder
Ripoff Report
Foundation Financial Group LLC100 Galleria Pkwy Marrieta, Georgia United States of America
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
My realtor called me last week and told me about the rates being lower than ever and suggested I call my mortgage broker to see about refinancing my loan. I called and got the process started yesterday.
Today I received a telephone call from 904-861-0736 and a guy we will call "Dou**e" introduced himself and let me know that he was will a federally funded program and he needed me to talk to him about my recent loan application. Dou**e went on to explain that there was a lot of problems with the mortgage industry and the Federal government wants to audit companies and he was going to talk with me to see if there was anything he could do for me. Dou**e asked me specifically if I would talk with him about why I had applied for a loan and the circumstances which led me to applying for a loan so that he could perform his job which was mandatory if I wanted my loan to be further considered.
I explained to Dou**e that I did not solicit his call, and I was not interested in what he had to say over the telephone, but if there were something he felt we needed to discuss he should send me a letter in the mail explaining why I have to talk with his company. Dou**e asked me "you want me to send you mail." Yes this is a simple request, if you are with a governmentally funded program, and you obviously know that I applied for a loan, you should have all of my personal information and be able to send me mail. No, Dou**e insisted that I was risking the further processing of my loan if I did not speak with him there on the spot. Of course I hung up on Dou**e, and he went on to call the next sucker I'm sure.
So I went on to do a little investigating into this company. They are paying to be notified by (our trusted credit bureaus) when somebody applies for a mortgage loan. So basically, my mortgage broker who earned my business through the trust of my realtor and performed to my expectations, now has the opportunity to service me again, but she has to compete with a bottom feeding company like this who will try to duke me into believing that they are there to "protect" me. All under the guise of being with some federal agency.
Lets put this into perspective. This would be like a guy, going out meeting a girl, wining her, dining her and having all but sealed the deal when the girls phone rings... "Hello my name is Dou**e, I understand you are ready to seal the deal, but the government has asked me to step in to make sure you are not being taken advantage of."
Classic example of what is wrong with our society. Bravo d****e, Bravo!

Netflix to get Disney films in TV distribution deal
By Ronald Grover and Sue Zeidler
(Reuters) - Netflix will provide TV viewers with live and animated Disney, Pixar, Marvel Comics and Lucasfilm movies starting in 2016, as Walt Disney Co on Tuesday became the first major studio to choose Netflix over cable TV networks.
Netflix shares jumped 14 percent on the news, as investors saw the Disney deal as an important endorsement of the DVD rental and streaming service, which has struggled with slowing subscriber growth and higher costs for content distribution. Liberty Media Corp, whose Starz group now distributes Disney movies on TV, fell almost 5 percent.
"An exclusive deal with Disney differentiates the Netflix content from Hulu Plus and Amazon Instant Video," said Anthony DiClemente, an analyst with Barclays Capital.
But some analysts worried that Netflix paid too much to get Disney's movies. Tony Wible, an analyst with Janney Montgomery Scott, estimated in a report that Netflix paid more than $350 million a year for Disney's movies and said "we would not be surprised if would need to raise capital."
By comparison, HBO agreed to pay an estimated $200 million annually in its so-called "output," or movie licensing deal, with 20th Century Fox earlier this year, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Disney movies will be available for streaming on Netflix beginning in 2016, after its current deal with Liberty Media's pay-TV channel Starz expires. The deal is for both new movies from Disney's studios and library content such as "Dumbo" and "Alice in Wonderland."
The deal gives Netflix streaming rights to movies from Disney's live-action and animation studios, including those from Pixar, Marvel, and the recently acquired Lucasfilm. On October 30, Disney announced a $4 billion deal to purchase the famed studio founded by George Lucas, which will now make new episodes in the blockbuster "Star Wars" series that Lucas created.
"This deal brings to our subscribers some of the highest quality, most imaginative family films being made today," said Ted Sarandos, Netflix's chief content officer, in a statement. "It's a leap forward for Internet television." Continued...

Arve Håland shows artistic research in Rom8
"Rust Never Sleeps: Making Paintings with Sulphate Ferrique and Other Unusual Materials" is the title of Arve Håland's artistic research which will be shown in Rom8 from 23 to 30 March 2012. Opening 23 March at 6pm.
Arve Håland, Associate Professor at KHiB, uses effects that we
would normally try to avoid - first of all rust, but also other
kinds of discolouration - for a meaningful, aesthetic purpose. The
closest parallel to that is of course the use of rust in certain
kinds of sculpture and architecture. The paintings are related to
his artistic research project at Bergen National Academy of the
Exhibition period: 23.-30. mars 2012
Venue: Rom8, Vaskerelven 8, Bergen
For many years Arve Håland has been fascinated by the aesthetic effects achieved by mixing sulphate ferrique with materials like cement, plaster, marble dust and other unusual and more or less porous materials and put it onto medium-density fibreboard (or just paper) to form a kind of painting. And as indicated in the title of this project, the most fascinating part is that the mixture has its own life. It does not just stiffen on the plate in a certain configuration, at least not right away, but undergoes various visual changes through the first days or weeks.
"Slowly, I have gathered a certain control over these configurations and changes. I have been experimenting with fibreboard and various types of paper (like drawing paper and paper for watercolours), and I have tried to mix the sulphate directly into cement or plaster, but also tried to dissolve it in water and polyvinyl acetate glue and apply it to the surface of the cement. In this way I have seen that the sulphate mixed into the cement may give a thick, relatively rich and stable colour, even with varied texture (more or less thick mixtures). But now and then the colour is reduced and disappears after some weeks, and a white salt appears. I have for instance noticed that if I put the sulphate on the bottom of the picture and cover it with marble dust, it is able to "bleed" right through several layers of the dust."
"In general the rather unique rubiginous colour that I can call forth with the sulphate ferrique (and that only with great difficulty can be achieved with e.g. a colour pigment of iron oxide) is the main point of my project because of the many layers of meaning with which it endows the pictures, aesthetically, metaphorically, symbolically."
Background and Broader Interest
One can perhaps characterize Arve Håland's work by comparing with other kinds of paintings and works of art that may come to mind.
One, maybe farfetched, example would be Neolithic cave paintings, paintings on porous, often chalky walls. The great difference here is that the Cro-Magnon people would use various kinds of pigment to depict animals etc. Behind the cave painting, however, must be an original observation that (what we understand as) spontaneous chemical processes in moist walls of a cave create coloured configurations that in the flickering light of torches may suggest animals, not quite unlike the shapes that appear in Håland's works.
Another example would be fresco painting. The similarity here is the use of wet, fresh, lime mortar or plaster that is applied to a wall by the fresco painter, and that you only see the final colours when the plaster has dried and reacted with the air. The difference, once again, is the use of pigment in the plaster, instead of relying on the colour that is created by itself through the chemical reaction.
Arve Håland's artistic inspiration comes from artists who work with materiality and the consonance between the intuitive and the controlled, e.g. Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, Antoni Tàpies, Anselm Kiefer and Gerhard Richter.
