Germans From Russia
Written by GFS Carol
Catherine the Great (1729-1796) was solely responsible for the colonization in Russia by the Germans. Christened Princess Sophie Auguste Friederike of Anhalt-Zerbst, born at Stettin in the Prussian province of Pomerania now called Szczecin, Poland.
Catherine was introduced in her middle teens to the Grand Duke Peter and heir to the Russian throne. Peter and Sophie were married in 1745, in the Russian Orthodox Church and rechristened Sophie as Catherine, or the Russian name Ekaterina.
Catherine, accepting the Russian religion and the customs of Russia, gained popularity and many supporters.
In June of 1762, Catherine became empress after plotting with the palace guards to have her husband arrested. He apparently had a fight with the guards and died as a result of the wounds that were inflicted.
Catherine was an ambitious German princess who ended up as one of the most famous monarchs in Russian history. Catherine was very charming and was extremely intelligent. "She dominates the Russians, because she sees them from the perspective of an outsider. If she were Russian, she would be lost in the confusion of vague ideas, which animate Russian thinking. She is German, calm, clear-sighted, methodical. German in race and character, she became a great Russian Sovereign." (Sorel) In the manifesto of July 22, 1763, Catherine II promised the Germans freedom from taxes for thirty years and that they would remain free for eternity from military duty. All others would have the same rights as the Russian citizens. They would enjoy full freedom of religion and conscience.
The Seven Years War (1756-1763) was finally at an end and the people of Germany were eager to have peace restored to their lives. The German people, tired and hungry, seemed to have no hope. There was no work and no money to buy goods from the merchants or farmers. This came as an aftermath of war, followed by crop failures, and other economic disasters. Catherine's manifesto of 22 July 1763 has rightly been called "the cornerstone of the whole inner colonization of Russia."
Germany wanted to stop the emigration of its people, so the country issued an edict on 7 July 1768. This edict states in part "the ever increasing emigration abroad, without fulfilling the obligations of the imperial constitution, into regions which have no connection with the German Empire is forbidden". The emigration to the lower Volga, except for a few in the following years had come to an end.
There has been a lot of misunderstanding about the Volga Germans because of the fact that many different German groups had come to Russia, beginning as early as the 16th century. About 27,000 Germans came to the Volga region.
The emigrants were soon disillusioned with the treeless wilderness that was their new home. Fear and disappointment marked the first years on the steppe. In spite of this, 104 mother colonies were established along the Volga with some moving into the Black Sea Region near Odessa, Crimea, Bessarabia, and South Caucasus. The next generations of the Volga Germans gradually looked favorably upon the region and called it their Wolgaheimat (Volga homeland).
Researching your German from Russia is not an easy task, but it can be done with a lot of patience. You must first determine if yours are Volga Germans or Black Sea Germans from Russia. There is a big difference. The two areas were from different parts of Germany and settled in different parts of Russia at different times.
There were basically three religions for the German from Russia, Lutheran, Catholic and Mennonite. Knowing which religion yours was will also help you a great deal. The LDS has been extracting parish records that were stored in St. Petersburg. The Volga German records are not included. If you have Black Sea Catholics you will be able to get birth, death and marriage records.

I researched using the stock head unit but the wire splicing and what not will not cut it(correct me if im wrong). I would like the best head unit for under 500 dollars that money can buy me. I have an xm satalite radio subscription and would like to put it to use without the protable thing. Any sugestions. I would like to keep the flow of the size of the stock head unit if posible(Which may not be the best option) and run satalite radio without the prortable divice.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
My book came from amazon. It seems like it will be scrappy for me. All of those bins need to be put to use, so I feel free to buy more fabric. Will try to generally stay with 30/40's hues when possible, but.... Still need to find background and sashing, but there must be some somewhere in all that fabric.
I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.
Have you seen these??
... scroll down to items 9, 10 and 11
Sew many ideas ... just sew little time!!
I love the tote panels
Eat, quilt, sleep, repeat
Sew many ideas ... just sew little time!!
I received my book the other day and took it to a friend to try to enlist her to join us, too! Patricia Faye, I like your fabrics, patriotic with a bit of other interest,too. I will be using a very scrappy mix of charm squares from my stash.
My book just got here. Oh, my! This looks hard. I've never done paper piecing before. How many copies of each pattern should I make? Are we just doing one block per week. I might be able to manage that - just barely.
Can anyone suggest an easy pattern to practice my pp skills before I start on the real thing? TIA.

Identity theft is one of the nation's fastest-growing crimes. Child identity theft is the fastest-growing form of identity theft. To parents, these are scary facts. But you don't have to feel helpless.
With your enrollment in Family Secure, once we receive your children's personal information we'll check their credit file for activity. Checking a child's credit file is the fastest way to find out if he or she has become a victim of identity theft.
We'll then continue to monitor your children's personal information as well as your Experian credit file to help protect your family and keep you informed.
DID YOU KNOW that three little numbers (your credit score) could end up saving you hundreds, or even thousands, of dollars? Lenders use credit scores to help them determine the "credit worthiness" of consumers applying for credit cards, lines of credit, or loans. The applicant's credit score will probably be used for figuring out whether he or she qualifies for credit, and if so, what terms and interest rates he or she will receive.
Credit scores are calculated based on data in your credit reports and, as fluid numbers, change over time, sometimes on a daily basis! That's why it's so important to stay on top of your credit reports for changes that could affect your credit scores. Other than pulling your credit report on a daily basis, credit monitoring is the best way to know what's happening in your credit report.
Family Secure credit monitoring lets you do both - we monitor your Experian credit report for key changes and alert you if any are found. Plus you can check your credit report and score every day as a paid member!
Don't let identity thieves ruin your family's credit history. Stop identity theft in its tracks with Family Secure.

WASHINGTON, DC (rushPRnews) 09/04/11 — NASA will invite 25 of its U.S. Twitter followers (@NASA) to a Tweetup expected to culminate in the launch of the first of a new generation of Earth-observing satellites from Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB) in California.
The event will take place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. PDT on Monday, Oct. 24. NASA's NPP satellite is scheduled to launch aboard a United Launch Alliance Delta II rocket between 2:48 and 2:57 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 25.
The National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System Preparatory Project (NPP) will observe many facets of our changing Earth. It will collect critical data on long-term climate change and short-term weather conditions. With NPP, NASA continues many key data records initiated by the agency's Earth Observing System satellites, monitoring changes in the atmosphere, oceans, vegetation, ice and solid Earth.
During Tweetup activities on Oct. 24, participants will tour Vandenberg's launch facilities; speak with agency and NPP mission scientists and managers; and interact with each other and NASA's social media team. For the early-morning rocket launch, participants will watch from a special viewing section that will include a pre-launch concert by "Mobility" from the United States Air Force Band of the Golden West.

Tavi Gevinson Adds Author to Resume
Tavi Gevinson has accomplished more in her 16 years than most people double her age.
The style blogger, writer and darling of the fashion set launched a fashion blog from her suburban Chicago home before she turned 12. Two years later it was getting 50,000 hits a day and she was a fixture in the front row of fashion shows in New York, Paris and Tokyo.
Profiles of the young fashionista followed in the New York Times and the New Yorker, along with stories in French Vogue and in teen magazines.
Gevinson has added editor to her credits with the publication of "Rookie Yearbook One," a compilation of articles, photographs and drawings from her Rookie website, which she started about 15 months ago.
"I always had it in the back of my mind that I wanted to do a print component. Each month on the site is a different theme. I eventually realized that to do a yearly book, and call it a yearbook, would be the best format," she said.
Man Who Blogs About Hasidic Neighbors Wins in Court
A Montreal blogger who's raised the hackles of his Orthodox neighbors in Montreal's Outremont district scored a victory against a Jewish businessman who'd been seeking a restraining order against him.
CTV reports that Pierre Lacerte's blog, Accommodements Outremont, has "created tension on his street" by "chronicling what he perceives as bylaw violations from Outremont's Hasidic community."
Much of Lacerte's anger "is drawn from an unmarked, inconspicuous synagogue in a [neighborhood] apartment that he contends creates an undue level of disturbance on his street," CTV reports.
The French-language blog, which reported on a range of apparent violations of city ordinances by the area's growing Orthodox population, drew accusations of anti-Semitism "to the point where Michael Rosenberg sought the restraining order that was rejected Monday," CTV wrote.

Black budget
A black budget is a budget that is allocated for classified and other secret operations of a nation, a corporation, a society of any form, a national department, and so on. A black budget usually covers expenses related to military research and covert operations. The black budget is mostly classified due to security reasons.
United States[edit]
The United States Department of Defense has a black budget it uses to fund black projects—expenditures it does not want to disclose publicly. The annual cost of the United States Department of Defense black budget was estimated at $30 billion in 2008,[1] but was increased to an estimated $50 billion in 2009.[2]
A black budget article by the Washington Post, based on information given by Edward Snowden, detailed how the US allocated $52.8 billion in 2012 for the black budget.[3]

text: well my wig collection is getting pretty large, and becuase of this lovely forum I've been able to get some great styles into them. The only problem is that I don't have enough wig heads. I can get them in town for like 3.99 or 2.99 but considering I've got to buy about 20 of them that's kind of a hefty wad of cash to drop. (or at least for me I'm cheap) so does anyone know where I can maybe get a bulk discount on them? ^_^

After a few laps around a racetrack, humans don't need coffee to feel awake, and cars don't need a splash of burnt-rubber-scented cologne to get ready for dates. Feel an adrenaline rush with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $124 for a two-hour, 10-lap Qualifier racing experience on November 9–10 (a $249 value)
- $49 for a one-hour, 3-lap shotgun ride-along experience on November 9–10 (a $99 value)
Rusty Wallace Racing Experience engages adrenal glands with real-life rubber-burning packages that send speed demons around Tucson Raceway Park's banked oval track. With the shotgun ride-along, need-for-speeders can hop into the passenger seat of a stock car and share three laps' worth of in-the-action views with a professional driver.
The Qualifier racing experience condenses the pro-racing experience into two hours of intense zooming. After classroom instruction familiarizes soon-to-be drivers with the course's corners, students get to take the wheel for 10 invigorating laps, leaving their hair mussed, their eyes bulging, and their torsos coated in corporate sponsorships.

President Jacques Chirac had pledged to cut
income taxes by 30% over five years.
The statement comes the day after France admitted its deficit in public finances was higher than the EU allows last year and is likely to break the rules again this year.
Mr Mer said that budgeted tax cuts this year would go ahead but that cuts promised for following years would depend on the strength of the economy.
The European Commission has already launched its procedure for dealing with countries which break the deficit rule.
Under the European Union's Growth and Stability Pact, the public finance deficit should not exceed more than 3% of the country's gross domestic product.
France's ballooning deficit is partly due to this year's freeze on taxes.
Hard line?
EU economic and monetary affairs commissioner Pedro Solbes decided on Thursday to open the EU's excessive deficit procedure against France, based on the 2002 figure.
Brussels has previously said it would fine countries who broke the 3% limit, although many economists believe further budget cuts would hammer Europe's economy just when the global downturn is weakening demand to a dangerous degree.
Germany and Portugal have both broken the barrier in the past, each being reprimanded in the process.
But France's transgression is seen by some officials as particularly bad, since both Germany and Portugal did their best to ensure its finances were within the Pact's limits the year after a breach.

Not too shabby. Personally, if you are going to drift around and do donuts, then a wet parking lot is mucho better than a dry one. Yeah..the STi can probably take a dry one no problem, but the abuse on the center diff is not something I'd subject my car to.
Nice camara mounting points also. As for your times.....let me know when you want some lessons in launching and shifting (see sig).

My earlier post (click here) on changing the job profession evoked such a massive response that I decided to do a follow-up article on a related subject. This one relates to the registration of engineers working in Saudi Arabia.
For the past few years, we keep hearing that unless people holding "Engineer" as a profession in their iqamas register themselves with the Saudi Council of Engineers, their iqamas would not be renewed. In the past, this was never implemented strictly due to a variety of reasons. And those reasons are valid even today.
First is the practicality of this decision. Let's say you have an expatriate engineer with years of experience behind him. There is no question of suspecting his credentials because otherwise his employer would have sacked him immediately. So, is it really worth all the effort in making existing engineers undergo the registration process?
Next is the credibility of the Council itself. The intentions may be good (regulating engineers in the kingdom, blah blah) but how qualified and experienced are the people running this, to accredit other engineers? Professional regulatory authorities such as General Medical Council in the UK, Medical Council of India, Philippine Medical Association, etc., are all highly respected because they follow internationally accepted standards and comprise of individuals who are highly qualified and have several decades of experience behind them. Just take one look at the SCE user manual and you will know what I mean. The very first sentence reads "Saudi Council of Engineers ......without the need of a visit to SCE fro submission of the applications". Give me a break, someone please conduct a crash course in spell check and English to these people before they start accrediting engineers!
You don't need to be a genius to conclude that this is nothing but a money-making exercise. Their accreditation fees is SR 1250 for engineers, SR1700 for associate engineers, SR 2300 for professional engineers and SR 2800 for consultant engineer. And I thought that all engineers were "professionals". So, if you are an unprofessional engineer you get to pay less! Some standard!
What is this whole exercise for? And to prove to whom? Does it mean that those who do not register themselves are not engineers? Then what about the attestation on the original certificate done by the Saudi embassy back home? That attestation is done only after the Education Ministry certifies that the particular certificate is original. So, does the attestation by the Saudi embassy have no value?
It is common knowledge that most expatriates work in Saudi Arabia with iqama professions not exactly matching their actual job titles. This is probably the biggest cause of heartburn, as people are unable to bring their families into the kingdom simply because their iqama has a non-supervisory title. I had written earlier about this in detail (click here). I have been getting several mails from people who are on Engineer visa, but who are in reality not engineers. Not their fault. Their sponsors simply brought them on whichever visa was available and since engineers were entitled to bring their families, they were simply issued those visas and and when they became available. Now what happens if their iqamas do not get renewed because SCE does not accredit these non-engineers?
For those expats who are on an engineer visa, but who really are not engineers, I would suggest the following. Anyway it is your sponsor's responsibility to do the iqama renewal, so at the first shot let him do all the running around in submitting your documents. If your iqama does get renewed, well and good. If not, I would suggest you to submit ALL your qualification certificates and documents to Saudi Council of Engineers. Let SCE do the job of reviewing your documents. If they reject your documents, you will get a message from them to collect the so-called "Non-registration" letter from their office. This letter must be submitted to the passport office to process the profession change in your iqama. The best part is that the rejection letter will be addressed to your sponsor and not to you, so once again the responsibility will shift to your sponsor. The only problem then, would be whether your sponsor has enough supervisory category visas so that you can continue to be with your families. The coming days are going to see quite some activity, so watch out this space for updates.

Over the last three weeks we have looked at the problem of evil. We have seen how the Bible explains evil as rising out of the personified presence of evil that we call Satan, that our world is fallen due to the original sin of Adam and Eve and how the justice of God allows Him to solve the injustice of evil over eternity. Today I look at the most difficult challenge for us: Trusting in the goodness of God no matter what the circumstances in life that we face.
Evil is real! It is not a figment of our imagination. We live in a fallen world which means that life is hard and it is not fair. We face natural evil (tornadoes, lightening storms, etc.), the forces of evil that arise from Satan and evil that grows out of the good gift of our own free will.
The Bible tells us that even though all this is true we can trust God with everything. In fact, because all this is true, it is the only true hope we have in this world and that is to trust God with everything. The Bible tells us to be thankful in all things, the bad as well as the good (I Thessalonians 5:18). It tells us that when we love God, then God caN make all things work for good (Romans 8:28). It tells us that nothing can separate us from God's love (Romans 8:37-39).
What this means for you and me is that our faith needs to mature to the point we stop questioning if God is there, why we go through hard times, or does God love us? Instead we learn to trust that God is good all the time, in the bad times and the good. That perfect goodness is a primary aspect of God's character and therefore we can trust God and His goodness all the time. Do you trust God that much? Here is a story that will test your trust.
A college student was asked to prepare a lesson to teach his speech class. He decided to speak on, "The Law of the Pendulum." The law of the pendulum is that a pendulum can never return to a point higher than the point from which it was released. Because of friction and gravity, when the pendulum returns, it will fall short of its original release point. Each time it swings it makes less and less of an arc, until finally it is at rest.
The student attached a three-foot string to a child's toy top and secured it to the top of the blackboard with a thumbtack and marked the movements of the pendulum. Everything went fabulous as he proved this law of motion.
The student then asked how many people in the room believed the law of the pendulum was true and everyone raised their hands including the teacher. Next the student led the class to a room with a 250-pound metal pendulum hanging from a steal beam in the room. The instructor was invited to climb up on a table and sit in a chair with back of his head against a cement wall. Then the student brought the 250 pounds of metal up to the teachers' nose. Holding the huge pendulum just a fraction of an inch from the teacher's face, the student once again explained, "If the law of the pendulum is true, then when I release this mass of metal, it will swing across the room and return short of the release point. Your nose will be in no danger."
After that final restatement of this law, the student looked his teacher in the eye and asked, "Sir, do you believe this law is true?" There was a long pause. Huge beads of sweat formed on his upper lip and then weakly he nodded and whispered, "Yes." The student released the pendulum. It made a swishing sound as it arced across the room. At the far end of its swing, it paused momentarily and started back. The student later testified that he had never seen a man move so fast in his entire life as the teacher literally dove from the table (Ken Davis, How To Speak To Youth, pp104-106).
Your life is in the balance. God's goodness is like the law of the pendulum. Do you trust God's goodness no matter what? Do you believe that God will use all your life events, the good and the bad for your benefit? Do you thank God in all things? What will it take for you to come to trust God completely with your life?

I got what appears to be an M&P and the caliber by all checks and measurments is 38 Long Colt. Admittedly my references are limited but we cannot come up with any info.
The barrel was shortened to 2 1/2 inches and there are no markings. It has had a bit of a rough life but locks up tight and shoots well. The chambers let a 38 Special hanging out by an eight of an inch.
Any idea what I have???
Thanks in advance for any help.
Sorry ... didn't mean to post this ... I thought my other one was lost.
There were some early M&P's with the unsupported ejector rod sold to the government. 1000 each to the army and navy. The were marked .38 Mil. near the frame but I have been under the belief they were truly specials in chambering.
Let's see some pictures.
Is it a Smith & Wesson? I have see numerous Spanish copies that were chambered for 38 long colt. These guns were made to look like the M&P but when you look at such things as the Monogram it is NOT S&W or it might say for Smith & Wesson Cartridge or such ploys. Does a 38 S&W round fit into the chambers? Are there markings that say Smith & Wesson? What is the approx serial Number?
Firearms safety is no accident.

I left the revolver at the shop so no pics for a few days. The logo is worn but looks authentic. It has a 4 digit serial number, 5xxx I think. The barrel was cut off so there are no markings there. The serial number is on the front grip strap and on the cylinder. The number in the crane is different and there is some kind of small marking like a proof mark under it.
A 38 S&W can be put in but it is a darn tight fit. The Colt and Special cartridges go in like any other 38 or 357. The cylinders do not appear to have been reamed out from 38 S&W because they are straight with no sign of a step in the middle and a fired Colt case appears normal with no bulge.

Several thoughts: serial on front grip strap (is this a 5-shooter?), looks like a S&W logo (Hermanos Orbea of Spain is a near look-alike), Spanish guns were common in .38 Largo and .38 Colt. S&W's Regulation Police was a 5-shot .38 S&W with a short cylinder and serial on front side of grip but, S&W did not make M&Ps in .38 S&W until WWII and they were not short cylinders.

Hi again,
I just cant get a good pic of the revolver ... sorry. I am of the belief it is as Waidmann says, a Spanish copy. Nowhere is there any mention of "Made in USA" and ...
we got for transfer ten old, pre model S&W's that were new-in-box quality. Comparing them to my whatever-it-is further reinforces the Spanish belief. The cylinders are actually tighter than the real smiths and cylinder gap is very tight with a solid lock-up and no end shake. It is in respectable mechanical shape although its looks are beyond bad. Oh yes, it is a 6 shot.
Thanks for your comments. They were a real help. I'll be floating around here on occasion ... catch you all then.
[QUOTE=oldgeoy;130813]Hi again,
Nowhere is there any mention of "Made in USA" and ...
It's my understanding they didn't start stamping "Made in the USA" on S&W frames until the 1920's.
Howdy again,
Thanks grasshopper. That is good news ... after more cleaning, scraping, and finally acid dipping to remove what was bluing/paint/??? the logo, we're certain is S&W but darn old. The logo is definitely not Orbea's. The serial number on the front strap is still a bit baffling but the same number is stamped on the back of the cylinder which is odd. The number inside the crane is different but that isn't uncommon with S&W. My boss is calling it a "put-together" revolver because he feels it was put together from a box of spare parts ... some how that makes sense to me at this point ... with the frame being early 1900's.
When I finally get this critter cleaned up and looking "human", I will try to put some pics here.
I used to post pics on the Leverguns forum using Photobucket. Is that how it's done here? Do you have directions in a "How-to" for pics?
Thanks again,
Photobucket is one way to do it and the one I use. It's pretty easy once you get the hangs of it. Sounds like an interesting old gun.

text: By Tom Orsborn - Express-News Web Posted: 08/27/2010 12:00 CDT OXNARD, Calif. — In an iconic 1970s TV commercial, the "Maytag Repairman" bemoans the fact his services aren't needed. That's something Jon Kitna would never do. The Dallas Cowboys' Tony Romo was the only quarterback in the NFL to take every snap last season, and his backup said he hopes it happens again. "I was absolutely content and happy watching Tony have the success he had last year," Kitna said. "It was a great step for him and this team. That's what I want to be a part of — a team that wins. And we have a chance to do that." While Romo toiled, Kitna recovered from the physical toll of playing the previous three seasons with hapless Detroit. He also immersed himself in the playbook, learning his new team's terminology inside and out. And he encouraged Romo to get all the work. "Even when we were leading by 21 and all he had to do was hand off the ball in the last two minutes, I told him take every snap," Kitna said. "I was happy for him he got to do it."

There should be a small classical gravity frequency shift between two transceivers one on the axis of rotation and the other clamped to a fixed point on the rim of a rotating rigid disc. Light arriving at the axis of rotation from the edge of the disk will be redshifted. Light moving the opposite way will be blue shifted. However, there will not be any shift for a light signal connecting two points on the rim. In addition the quantum gravity Unruh effect implies a small radial temperature gradient from the increasing radial centripetal acceleration. Furthermore, in general there should be a gravimagnetic inertial force doublet splitting of the vacuum speed of light locally measured at the rim of the rotating disk for a ray of light in the plane of the rotating disk as in the Sagnac effect.

Lakers may fall short in the Wild West
No wonder he looked so happy Thursday evening alongside GM Mitch Kupchak announcing he had decided to return to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Conventional wisdom has said all along returning to the Lakers was Kobe Bryant's only real option. The Lakers had more money, had bent over backward to accommodate him and had given him three rings and more prestige than any other team out there.
Bryant claimed, in the end, that the lure and mystique of the Lakers were too much to give up. The Lakers were in his heart -- especially a version that revolved around his every whim.
But 10 minutes after Bryant officially re-signed, reality crept in. He may not have liked Shaquille O'Neal personally, but Bryant acknowledged the Big Fella was the most dominant player in the game -- an irreplaceable inside force whose absence will turn the Lakers' quest for another championship into an "uphill battle."
On this point, there is no disagreement. Landing Bryant was a huge victory for the Lakers. But the battle has just begun. Forget for a second the Lakers' lack of a replacement for O'Neal. Just look at the rest of the Western Conference, then try to figure out where to place the Lakers.

Does it every time
Some would say Maroon 5 only cares to conform to modern sound to make more money. I would agree, music is an industry, hence a business. However, what really sets them apart, and what makes Maroon 5 retain fans since they were Kara's Flowers is their ability to bring down the level of every song to match emotional struggles of everybody everywhere. If you can't relate to this song, or even if you say this is garbage and "not Maroon 5" you shouldn't be listening to the beat, instruments, and chord progressions. You should actually be listening to the lyrics, Adam's tone, and the heartbeat of the song. Music is what connects all human beings all over the world, and Maroon 5 has known that for a long time.
Not bad but .....
At this point they're honestly just trying to appeal to mainstream pop taste. This sounds like every other song in the top 40. There's nothing really special or unique about this song, really a far cry from the band they were a decade ago.... :(
They sang this song as a preview at their 2016-2017 concert and I feel in love with it! One of their best!

Its when a crew comes in, sets up shop in a very undisclosed and unusual location(garage, warehouse...) and builds a small temporary restaurant for the night. Does service, cleans up and leaves. I do it on occasion for peeps where I live, fun, nerve racking and generally an adventure.

It depends and it has many different forms.
Popup kitchen could be when you open your concept in an already existing restaurant under their license to serve food, when they are closed.
Example: Main restaurant open mon-sat. popup on sunday.
I've also seen bars with popup kitchens to do bar food on say the busiest night of the week, Saturday.
A friend is currently running his bagel production out of a brick and mortar Jewish deli, until he has enough to have his own brick and mortar.
I've also seen chefs do private dinners, advertised on say craigslist, in different locations.
The popup is the idea that you, as the chef, aren't tied down financially to a specific location.

I just did a popup kitchen for a local lounge to drive business on a Sunday. They have a small kitchen and asked me to BBQ in the back. For every cocktail purchased the customer got a ticket for a plate of food. It worked out very well. We increased their normal Sunday business from 20-30 patrons to over 200.
The menu was supposed to be pulled pork sandwiches, ribs, Tri Tip and grilled chicken. The pork didn't get to pullable by the time everyone arrived. It was still a big hit, but not to my satisfaction.
We plan on doing this every 3-6 weeks and rotate it with a few other bars owned by the same person.
I enjoyed it.

I would love to run a popup kitchen. I currently work as a cook in a very busy restaurant but my goal someday is to become self employed. I'd so that perhaps somehow by owning a food cart/truck, private dining, or the temporary restaurant concept. Anyone have any good ideas on how to make this a reality?
I have a turn key kitchen, get in contact with me, maybe your idea can be a reality. As a pop-up kitchenlimited funds are needed. If the area is good for you.

Crude prices soar on tighter American fuel market
On Friday, crude prices soared, pushed by a tighter American fuel market as well as technical indicators attracted buying from traders.
Following a tumble in early trading, international Brent crude futures were worth $52.08 a barrel, rising 5 cents from their previous close.
Having fallen below $50 per barrel on Thursday, American West Texas Intermediate crude futures traded at $50.63, ascending 19 cents from the last close.
Traders pointed out that the American price surge can be explained by a tightening fuel market.
Crude prices edged up overnight notwithstanding surging stockpiles in America, because fuel supplies in this country fell to the lowest value this year.
The US Energy Information Administration posted a dip of 3.7 million barrels for distillates late on Thursday, including heating oil and diesel, and a 1.9-million barrel descend for gasoline.
However, American crude stocks edged up for the first time for six weeks , swelling by approximately 4.9 million barrels by October 7 to 474 million barrels.

This book is about a small dog called Bonnie. Bonnie belongs to Harry but Harry thinks she doesn't look like a dog because she was so small, not big like a proper dog. Bonnie could sit on Mum's knee at tea time.
I loved the book because on some pages there are little pictures and the book is so interesting. And sometimes when Harry's Mum is shouting the writing is all in capital letters. I would recommend the story to my friends because it is a nice story and there is a happy ending. The book is for boys and girls.

Uncle Tom's Cabin HTML version
About this time, St. Clare's brother Alfred, with his eldest son, a boy of twelve, spent a
day or two with the family at the lake.
No sight could be more singular and beautiful than that of these twin brothers. Nature,
instead of instituting resemblances between them, had made them opposites on every
point; yet a mysterious tie seemed to unite them in a closer friendship than ordinary.
They used to saunter, arm in arm, up and down the alleys and walks of the garden.
Augustine, with his blue eyes and golden hair, his ethereally flexible form and vivacious
features; and Alfred, dark-eyed, with haughty Roman profile, firmly-knit limbs, and
decided bearing. They were always abusing each other's opinions and practices, and yet
never a whit the less absorbed in each other's society; in fact, the very contrariety seemed
to unite them, like the attraction between opposite poles of the magnet.
Henrique, the eldest son of Alfred, was a noble, dark-eyed, princely boy, full of vivacity
and spirit; and, from the first moment of introduction, seemed to be perfectly fascinated
by the spirituelle graces of his cousin Evangeline.
Eva had a little pet pony, of a snowy whiteness. It was easy as a cradle, and as gentle as
its little mistress; and this pony was now brought up to the back verandah by Tom, while
a little mulatto boy of about thirteen led along a small black Arabian, which had just been
imported, at a great expense, for Henrique.
Henrique had a boy's pride in his new possession; and, as he advanced and took the reins
out of the hands of his little groom, he looked carefully over him, and his brow darkened.
"What's this, Dodo, you little lazy dog! you haven't rubbed my horse down, this
"Yes, Mas'r," said Dodo, submissively; "he got that dust on his own self."
"You rascal, shut your mouth!" said Henrique, violently raising his riding-whip. "How
dare you speak?"
The boy was a handsome, bright-eyed mulatto, of just Henrique's size, and his curling
hair hung round a high, bold forehead. He had white blood in his veins, as could be seen
by the quick flush in his cheek, and the sparkle of his eye, as he eagerly tried to speak.
"Mas'r Henrique!--" he began.
Henrique struck him across the face with his riding-whip, and, seizing one of his arms,
forced him on to his knees, and beat him till he was out of breath.

NE already honored an OH Permit/License to Carry. Handgunlaw.us will not be updated ...
Ohio AG is reporting they have signed a Reciprocity Agreement with Nebraska. NE already honored an OH Permit/License to Carry. Handgunlaw.us will not be updated with this new info till the weekend. Steve is out of town and most likely won't be able to posts this new info to the site till he returns.
OK, WY, NC, IA, GA and AZ Updates.
Oklahoma OBSI has not added Minnesota, West Virginia and Nebraska as states that honor their states permits. OSBI is not obligated to add this info to their site as OK honors all other states Permit/Licenses and just lists states that honor their Permit/License to Carry. It has been almost 2 weeks since I sent them all the contact info for the above listed states but nothing yet. One thing I have seen over the years and all of you are aware of. most Government moves very slowly.
Wyoming DCI has not added Georgia, Indiana, Minnesota or New Hampshire as states they honor. Again it has been about 2 weeks since I sent them contact info on these states. Wyomings new law is very clear. They will honor anyones Permit/License that honors theirs. There law doesn't allow for any Office or Official to disqualify any state that honors their permit/License. If the other state honors a WY Permit/License to Carry then WY will honors theirs. Again Government can move slowly.
North Carolina DOJ is still stating that they will not honor a New Hampshire Non Resident Permit/License. I have been in contact with sources in NC who are in a position to ask the right people about this. It may be that one person is causing this to happen as NC Reciprocity Law does not mention Resident or Non Resident Permit/Licenses. If this stands it just makes it tougher for the law abiding to stay within the law. There are so many gun laws now it is very difficult to keep up.
Iowa will be Shall Issue on 1/1/11. Until then Iowa is still a May Issue state and they do not honor any other states permits. On 1/1/11 Iowa will honor all other states permits and be Shall Issue. Again the new law does not go into effect till 1/1/11.
Georgia - This is a copy and paste from Stephen Wenger's E-Mail Alerts
Georgia lawmakers voted Thursday to back a sweeping gun rights expansion, approving a measure that would allow permit-holders to carry guns into some bars and the parking lots of colleges, courthouses, airports and jails. The measure, which was approved by both chambers Thursday in the final hour of the 40-day legislative session, comes days after a bipartisan group of legislators adopted a separate proposal that allows gun owners to carry their firearms into parts of airports throughout the state. Both changes were long-sought by gun rights groups, who have for years complained that the mishmash of state regulations and court rulings that governed where firearms could be carried was too confusing and badly needed to be clarified. They now must be signed by Gov. Sonny Perdue before becoming law The airport measure aims to build on a 2008 law that allowed those with permits to carry firearms on mass transit. A judge ruled that the airports don't qualify as mass transit, so the measure's sponsor crafted a bill that specifically allowed gun owners to carry weapons in the parts of airports not regulated by the federal government. The second measure focused on where licensed gun owners can't carry their weapons instead of where they can. It would make it a misdemeanor for licensed carriers to have their weapons in a government building, courthouse, jail or prison, place of worship, mental health facility, nuclear power plant or polling place. It spells out new freedoms for gun owners as well. Guns would be allowed in bars with the bar owner's permission. Otherwise, licensed holders would be allowed to carry a gun anywhere in Georgia unless a private property owner forbids it. And while guns would be banned on school campuses or buses, they would be allowed in vehicles parked in the parking lots of schools, courthouses and jail.
So Call the GA Governor and tell him to sign these bills. This will open up places where those who take their own personal safety to heart can legally carry. More info as this becomes available.
Arizona Constitutional Carry will go into effect July 29, 2010. That means that anyone who can legally own a firearm can carry it concealed in AZ. AZ will still issue permit/licenses but is dropping the requirement that you have to fire a handgun in the class. This will most likely cause some states to drop them as a state they honor. New Mexico is at the top of that list of states that will most likely drop them from the list of states they honor.
There are two quirks in the law. If you have a permit/license from AZ or any other state you can carry into a Restaurant that serves alcohol. If you don't have a permit/license from AZ or any other state you can not carry into a restaurant that serves alcohol.
Second you can not carry concealed in or on any form of transportation without a permit/license issued by AZ or any other state.
A. A person commits misconduct involving weapons by knowingly:
1. Carrying a deadly weapon without a permit pursuant to section 13-3112 except a pocket knife concealed on his person; or
F. Subsection A, paragraph 1 of this section shall not apply to a weapon or weapons carried in a belt holster which holster is wholly or partially visible, or carried in a scabbard or case designed for carrying weapons which scabbard or case is wholly or partially visible or carried in luggage.
Subsection A, paragraph 2 of this section shall not apply to a weapon or weapons carried in a case, holster, scabbard, pack or luggage that is carried within a means of transportation or within a storage compartment, trunk or glove compartment of a means of transportation. (So it will have to be visible while riding in or on transportation.
AZ didn't delete any of their other gun laws when they added Constitutional Carry. So those laws are still on the books. Here are the requirements for training that AZ will accept after the new law goes into effect 7/29/10
N. An applicant shall demonstrate competence with a firearm through any of the following:
1.

This weekend, I am lucky that I am only driving between Ohio and Kentucky; Georgia always being a pain, because I have to remember to disarm myself and separate my gun from its ammo, putting either or inside the trunk, to keep myself legal. Georgia being a dangerous place, if only because of Atlanta predators roaming and lurking along the interstate highways and byways.

thanks Gary, but if we get pulled over do we need to the LEO know we have a weapon?
BigRAM, AZ law states that you must produce your permit on demand. Their law says that if you don't produce it on demand you break the law. The way I read their law if you are approached for any type of official business and they ask if you have a handgun on you then you must answer that question. In other states that don't have a law to inform they don't say that. You don't have to answer any question an LEO ask you but if you are carrying in AZ you must answer that question if ask by an LEO. At least that is the way I read the law.
