Looking to buy a a reliable .32 acp for plinking and eventually ccw back up. Any one have some input. Maybe some top runners and ones to avoid. Thanks, Dave
The only reliable .32 I can think of offhand is the Kel-Tec, but these will sometimes need the feedramp polished and the frame/slide mating surfaces smoothed out a bit in order to run 100%. If you don't mind taking the ten or fifteen minutes to do this, you can have a very reliable backup. There are a few others such as the Seecamp and the Beretta Tomcat, but these can at times be very problematic. The Taurus Millenium and the NAA version iare supposed to be decent, but I've not used one of these.
I have to wonder why you would pick the .32 for these purposes. They don't make good plinkers as they are expensive to feed and will not be very accurate. Some can be found in .380 in the same sized pistol, and .380 is cheaper to shoot and more powerful to boot. Also, some .32's can experience rimlock (it's a semi-rimmed cartridge), which will not happen with a .380. Anyway, not to criticize your choice, but just wanted to post food for thought.
Well I have a walther p22 and its great and cheap to shoot ... I guess I thought as the kids grow I can walk them safely up the calibers. by passing the .25 of course.
The .32 and .380 aren't really good for moving the kids up. The handguns that use these calibers tend to be rather small, and will often have blowback actions instead of a linkage type. Therefore, although the cartridge isn't greatly powerful, these small pistols still have a pretty stout recoil, especially since there isn't a lot of weight to help absorb recoil. IOW, these guns are for defense use, and therefore do not make good range/target guns.* My wife likes to shoot our many .357's and 9mm's, but she refuses to shoot the KelTec P3AT.
The .22 you already have is a decent choice for the learning of basic marksmanship and trigger skills. Once they are ready, you might consider a steel .38 revolver (or .357mag in which you can use .38's) or a 9mm semi-auto. A 9mm won't be greatly different in recoil over a .380, but they will be cheaper to shoot and will most likely be more accurate as well.
BTw, there are a few larger .32's and .380's such as the tip-up Berettas and the like. However, they are as large as many 9mm's and more expensive to purchase and feed.
*Some people here will interpret this sentence as me saying a .32 cannot be used at the range. They can in fact be used at the range.
The larger the frame the less recoil? Maybe like a llama 32 ???
I'd strongly consider the Beretta Tomcat. It's a neat little design -a tad heavier than some but very reliable and unique. Get the "inox" (stainless slide) version as it will take a little sweat and humidity better. If I were in the market for a .32, that's what I'd get.
Another vote here for the Beretta Tomcat. Actually, it's the only .32 that I have experience with but mine was a reliable shooter for the few hundred rounds that I put through it.
Well I have been reading alot about the tomcat.. ANy one heard anything good or bad about the taurus pt132 . I havent found much so it looks like my mind is being made up. TOMCAT here we come.
My Kel-tec p32 is about as reliable as they come, but I don't this is a great gun for plinking.
how worried should I be about rimlock? Is it an issue with all 32s.
I own and carry a kel-tec P32 on a daily basis and all I can say about it is that it is perfect. It disappears totally and is always with me should I ever need it. Sometimes its a BUG and other times it's all I have with me. I never feel underarmed with it. Rimlock is an issue, but with the .32 cartridge, penetration should be your biggest concern. I opted for this over the .380 because recoil is significantly less, I get one extra round, and the slide locks to the rear after the last round has left the barrel. 100% reliable even before the fluff and buff. I can't say enough good about this little gun. I feel that the distances this gun is used for (arms length) it will stop a BG just fine with a few shots to his chest and/or a few up his nose. I carry it with 2 Cor-Bon 60gr JHPs (one in the tube and one on top of the mag) and the rest Fiocchi 73gr FMJ. I recently bought a second mag for it and I intend on making it my everywhere summer carry gun. I highly reccomend a belt clip for it and get a good pocket holster as well. 95% of the time it is inside my waistband in the appendix carry with the belt clip. draws just fine and this thing is amazingly accurate esp. considering it comes with only the suggestion of sights. great BUG or deep concealment weapon.
Thanks for all the great input
I can't believe that no one mentioned the Walther line. I just checked their web site and they list both the PPK and PPK/S at $605 retail.
I have an F.E.G. AP/FN, in .32 acp which is a near copy of the Walther PP. I got it for fun, and it was pretty cheap too. It is a great size to stick in the watch pocket of my jeans.
That said, I agree with some others that a .380 acp is a little more potent, and they come in the same size package as the .32 acp.
As long as I've mentioned F.E.G. they also make a model PA 63 (and variants) in 9x18 Makarov. It, too is the same size frame as the PP. There are plenty of them floating around the internet for sale. They are surplus Com Bloc police guns.
I checked out those walthers. They have a nice look to them. Going by price are these considered the Cream Of The Crop? I have seen the F.E.G on gunbroker they are a lot cheaper also. Is the slide pretty tough to rack......(would my wife be able to pull the slide with out much effort. She had a hard time with the NAA 32.) The frame seems to be longer so maybe its a bit easier to pull. I am seriosly considering one.
Respectfully whoever said Seecamps were not reliable is mistaken.
I think this inaccurate perception by some is because Seecamp pistols (32 or 380) CAN be a bit ammo sensitive, but once you find the round your particular Seecamp likes, reliability is assured.
My wife and I have three Seecamp pistols (2/32 1/380) and all of them have been 100% reliable with Speer Gold Dot jhp's.
In the past I've owned a Beretta Tomcat, 2 NAA Guardians, and one KelTec P32, and IN MY EXPERIENCE the Seecamp offers as good, if not better, reliability than any of them. The NAA's were actually very reliable, the Tomcat was a pos, and the KelTec was less reliable.
My daily cc pistol is my LWS380.
Just personal opinion, no offense to folks with contrary opinions.
SEECAMP the best money can buy in my house .:smt023
32 ammo is about twice as expensive as 9mm. That would make it some expensive plinking given today's prices. A compact 9mm may be your better choice.

Basile standout Kendrick Ceaser. (American Press Archives)
Last Modified: Friday, August 30, 2013 2:52 PM
By Troy LaFleur / American Press
It is pretty rare to see a high school football player be one of the state's top players all four years of their prep career, but that is just what Barbe senior wide receiver Trey Quinn will be looking to accomplish this season.
Since taking over a starting role as a freshman at the ripe age of 14, Quinn has given opposing defenses fits every time he steps on the field. The 6-foot-1, 200-pound playmaker has starred as the Bucs' return specialist and has received time at running back during his tenure, but is most deadly when lined up at wide receiver using his blazing speed and soft hands to wreak havoc on opposing secondaries.
Quinn recently submitted his verbal commitment to play his college ball at LSU, despite receiving numerous offers from other nationally ranked colleges. He is ranked as the No. 37 overall prospect in the nation, according to ESPN.
"The sky is the limit for Trey, and he has worked very hard for everything he has earned," said Barbe head coach Mike Cutrera. "He is a very talented player, but he is also a great kid on and off the field. Trey is someone that you like to have around your team and personally."
In 2011 Quinn was named to the All-State team and was also elected the Southwest Louisiana Big Schools MVP after his sophomore campaign.
In 2012 he made the leap to the All-American team after a junior season that saw him make 115 catches for 2,141 yards and 26 touchdowns. He also managed 223 rushing yards and 758 total return yards, giving him a total of 3,111 all-purpose yards.
Quinn has posted 249 receptions for 4,599 yards and 47 touchdowns through his first three seasons and needs 1,269 yards to break the Louisiana state record for most receiving yards in a career; 1,895 yards will grant him the national record.
While he may not receive the national recognition that Quinn has, the Barbe signal caller has built quite a reputation for himself in his two years as a varsity starter.
The 5-foot-9, 185-pound senior has managed to provide excellent service to not only one of the nation's most dangerous receiving threats in Quinn, but also Desean Smith, who now plays at LSU. Along with being a dynamic passer, Fontenot has also shown the ability to be a dynamic dual-threat quarterback.
"We are expecting big things from (Fontenot) this season. He is a great athlete and an even better leader," said Cutrera. "He makes things happen at the quarterback position whether it be running, scrambling or throwing the ball, and he is very fun to watch."
Fontenot was named the All-Southwest Louisiana Big Schools Offensive MVP in 2012 after a junior season that saw him throw for 4,294 yards and rush for 663 more. He went on to account for a total of 55 touchdowns.
If the Bucs are hoping to return to the Superdome in 2013, they will need another exceptional year from the quarterback.
For three years Tyler Guillory has been used as a rotational back, but through those years of varsity experience he is now prepared to take on the full load and become the Gators' premier workhorse.
LaGrange will rely heavily on Guillory to spearhead the rushing attack, while also working his way into the passing game. He has spent much of his time in the LaGrange backfield as a short-yardage power back, but expect to see him use his underrated speed to beat defenders on the edges in 2013.
"Last year (Guillory) was our second back, but this year he will be featured as our primary runner," said LaGrange head coach Jules Sullen. "He's been playing varsity since he was young, and he has been running for the track team, which has helped his speed, and we are expecting him to be able to run on both the outside and between the tackles now, as well as help out in the passing game."
The 5-foot-10, 230-pound senior has developed a large skill set during his tenure at LaGrange and will look to build on his All-Southwest Louisiana worthy performance in 2012 when he was able to gain 1,098 yards and 17 touchdowns on the ground despite splitting time in the backfield.
The Rams will be looking to future LSU Tiger JaCory Washington to lead the way for them in 2013 as they look to make a deep playoff run.
The 6-foot-5, 223-pound Washington will create mismatches for most defensive backs that he will line up against, but opposing teams will have to worry about more than having him just line up out wide. The Rams will also be depending on Washington to help at tight end and contribute on the other side of the ball when he lines up at defensive end.
The physical specimen will be tough for anyone to handle thanks to his unique blend of size and speed at the high school level.
"The biggest impact that (Washington) brings is his size and ability to create mismatches," said Westlake head coach Shawn Demeritt. "He is going to be bigger than any defensive back that he is going to face as well as most linebackers. Teams were forced to double-team him a lot last year, and when they didn't he usually made them pay for it."
Washington finished 2012 with 476 yards receiving and seven touchdowns.
The junior jack-of-all-trades has been making splashes in Class 1A since his freshman season, and he doesn't look to be slowing down anytime soon.
The 5-foot-8, 160-pound Ceasar rushed for 2,217 yards as a sophomore in 2012, picking up 26 touchdowns along the way. The impressive campaign earned him All-State and All-Southwest Louisiana honors. He was also an All-District selection at kick returner.
Ceasar has constantly blown opposing defenses away with his blazing speed, but has now added size to his frame and will look to be an even bigger threat as a more complete back.
"Kendrick is a very good football player, as you can tell from the season he had last year," Basile head football coach Tony Bertrand said. "He works really hard, and he had a strong summer and added a little weight to his frame. I am excited about the player he is becoming and him being the leader of our offense."
Ceasar will have more to prove this season as he hopes to lead his Basile Bearcats to the District 4-1A championship and another deep playoff run.
He will also start on the defensive side of the ball where he features as one of the district's top defensive backs.
Other players to keep an eye on in Southwest Louisiana this season who just missed the cut include Sulphur quarterback Seth Bohannon, Sam Houston defensive lineman Josh Foreman, LaGrange defensive back Markel Thomas, DeRidder lineman Chuck Harlow, Washington-Marion wide receiver Demond Delahoussaye, St. Louis running back Jared Smith, Iowa return specialist Chaz Key, South Beauregard running back Joe Ledet, Welsh quarterback Caleb Hayes, Oakdale linebacker B.J. Allison, Kinder quarterback Austin Pickle and Oberlin linebacker Lance Frank.

Domestic violence: 'It's closer than you think'
Posted by : October 13, 2012| On :
The News Staff
ATHENS–Donna Johnson started out the 2013 Domestic Violence Awareness proclamation signing ceremony Tuesday afternoon with a simple request: "I want everyone here, if they themselves or a family member have been affected by family violence, to please raise your hands and keep your hands raised."
The East Texas Crisis Center Director of Outreach then asked for anyone who had a friend, or associate at work affected by domestic violence to do the same thing. Then she asked for anyone who knew someone who had been affected by domestic violence to do the same thing.
By that time, it looked like every one of the nearly 100 gathered on the courthouse lawn had a hand raised.
"Domestic violence in Henderson County is so prevalent," she said.
October is about becoming aware of the dangers of domestic violence and the resources available in the community for victims.
"(Someone) just might have a loved one, a business partner, a best friend, a family member who is suffering from abuse," Johnson said. "If they just a know a little information about where to reach out in our community, it just might save someone's life."
Henderson County District Attorney R. Scott McKee put some numbers on the problem. He said that 223,000 Texans called domestic violence hotlines in 2012.
"That is almost a quarter of a million people," he said. "And think about those who don't call the hotline; those who don't have the courage, or haven't met one of these wonderful volunteers out here."
McKee said the East Texas Crisis Center has helped 242 new victims of domestic violence so far in 2012, and continues to help 218 current clients.
"Those are our neighbors," he said. "Our family members. People that our kids play football, baseball, T-ball with. It's closer than you think."
Henderson County Judge Richard Sanders said, "It is bad enough being in an area where you don't feel safe, or where have danger happen to you, out in the public. But when it happens to you in your own home, it is a very big problem."
"I want to thank each one of you standing here today, because your mission and your goal is to solve those problems for people that suffer from this," he said. "It is very, very commendable. I just want you to know that the county appreciates everything that you do."
Victim advocates say help is needed. Courtney Sanchez, a domestic violence survivor said, "After having to make this decision to leave, survivors are often greeted by the frightening realization that the shelter from which they are seeking refuge is full and cannot take them and their children in because there are no vacancies at which time they are placed on a waiting list."
If you are the victim of domestic violence – or you want to help be a part of the solution – check out the following resources:
• East Texas Crisis Center hotline: 800-333-0358, www.etcc.org/,
• National Domestic Violence hotline: 800-799-SAFE (7233),

Sanofi crowns patient advocacy contest winner
Sharon Terry, president and CEO of Genetic Alliance
The winning partnership, dubbed Registries for All Diseases, will collect a $300,000 award for its plan to create "a comprehensive, cross-disease registry to help accelerate translational research for over 1,000 diseases." Partner orgs include Genetic Alliance, CFIDS Association of America, National Psoriasis Foundation and the Inflammatory Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
"Data can accelerate research and services, help us get better patient outcomes and save money," said Genetic Alliance chief Sharon Terry, "but right now, this data is in silos and is not easily accessible to researchers. By creating a patient-centered research network that spans many diseases, people will be empowered to participate in their own health and can contribute data to advance the development of disease treatments."
The runner-up was 21st Century Brain Trust, a "self-administered, clinical-grade cognitive testing app to detect asymptomatic Alzheimer's disease" and meanto to support a dialogue "based on brain health rather than brain disease, empowering people to take control of their cognitive well-being." That partnership, which will receive $100,000 towards its mission, includes the USAgainstAlzheimer's Network, the American Health Assistance Foundation and the Geoffrey Beene Gives Back Alzheimer's Initiative.
The contest, which drew 128 entries from 280 different organizations, was administered by Sanofi's Partners in Patient Health unit (formerly known as its patient advocacy group), and was judged by an expert panel of five, with North America pharma president Anne Whitaker representing the company.
The Collaborate Activate challenge is similar to Sanofi's Data Design Diabetes challenge, in which teams of techies compete to develop data-centric technologies that advance diabetes care. That contest, launched in 2010, is entering its third year. It's given the company a better grasp on how technology can be used to harness Big Data and valuable exposure to emerging talent. The Collaborate Activate contest, similarly, promises to deepen the company's ties in the patient advocacy world.
"The health problems of patients and of the nation are too great for any one organization to solve," said Eric Racine, PharmD, MBA, who is VP of Partners in Patient Health at Sanofi. "We also knew that diversity is a great source of innovation. When you put a diverse group of people together to solve a common problem, that cross-sourcing creates a multiplier effect, and that's led us to change our approach to advocacy."

Although the corrosion of polar sea ice is considered by many to be the foremost indicator of environmental damage, it also may represent the opening the world's major oil firms have been waiting for, business intelligence provider GlobalData says in a new report.
As the firm's latest publication explores, global warming has resulted in a dramatic decrease in Arctic ice cover, revealing highly prized drilling locations in a region estimated to hold nearly 22% of the world's undiscovered oil and gas resources.
The report continues to highlight the area's enormous hydrocarbon wealth, including 90 Bbbl of oil, 1,669 Tcf of natural gas, and 44 Bbbl of natural gas liquids (NGLs).
Several Arctic nations such as Russia, Canada, and Denmark are staking their claim regarding the extended continental shelf and several national oil companies (NOCs) have undertaken exploration expeditions in the recently exposed region in preparation for what they expect to be highly fruitful oil and gas production activities.
However, the prospect of further exploiting an area that has already been reshaped in part, both directly and indirectly, by the pursuits of Big Oil will most likely be a concern of environmentalists.
Other than the well-known and environmentally detrimental effects of burning fossil fuels, upstream activities also contribute to the corrosion of sea ice through the release of black carbon emitted from transport ships.
Despite these concerns, major oil companies across Russia, Canada, and beyond have been tooling up and forming mutually beneficial partnerships, with the aim of capitalizing on what appears to be highly attractive prospect.

Hi, I am running 2012 wrx sedan with AP stage 1. I am on way to doing my coils and sway bars and later on downpipe and cat back.
I need some help to choose few gauges. basically 2(steering mount)+3(A piller)
I already bought a prosport mechanical boost and wideband o2 af for steering pod but my mechanic told me AF is only used for tunning and useless for a driver. so I did research and found that he might be true and is just useful for observation in driver perspective.
Now my understanding with usefulness of gauges falls in two categories:
1) just to observe things and if you see some wrong you have to tune it or do some kind of work in garage
2) observe things and act accordingly during driving (real time)
I choose no 2 gauges to be on steering mounts and No 1 on A piller. I can tell that boost gauge falls in category 2 but Idk what other gauges are in that category that helps me act dynamically. I haven't done much reading on fuel pressure and oil pressure gauges but any help is appreciated.

TOKYO, July 6 (Reuters) Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has launched a media offensive to win back foundering voter support, which has slid below the key 30 per cent level ahead of an upper house election this month.
After a television appearance yesterday, Abe is tackling two more TV shows and a radio programme today in an attempt to woo voters and soothe anger over the government's bungling of millions of pension records -- the most contentious issue in the July 29 election.
''It's true that the wind is blowing against us at the moment,'' Abe said today when asked if his ruling Liberal Democratic Party could win.
''But they say that a plane cannot fly high without an opposing wind. We are training against that opposing wind and want to do our very best,'' he added on the TV show, which mixes showbiz gossip with news.
Abe said yesterday that his ruling coalition faced a tough fight in the election, but refused to consider defeat before the battle had even begun.
His woes were exacerbated last weekend, when his defence minister made remarks that appeared to condone the 1945 atomic bombings of two Japanese cities, sparking public outrage.
Abe refused to sack him but the minister quit on Tuesday -- the second resignation from the nine-month-old cabinet, and less than two months after the scandal-tainted farm minister hanged himself.
A group of atomic bomb survivors demanded today that Abe apologise for appointing Fumio Kyuma to the top defence post and urged the government to seek an apology from the United States for the bombings.
A public opinion survey published yesterday by the Yomiuri Shimbun showed that only 32.0 per cent of voters supported the Abe cabinet, down 2.4 percent from last week's poll.
The paper said the defence minister's resignation, coupled with the pension fiasco -- which could mean that some retirees are short-changed -- had dented Abe's support.
Abe's ruling Liberal Democratic Party and its junior coalition partner, the New Komeito party, need to win a total of 64 of the 121 seats up for grabs to keep their majority in the 242-seat upper chamber.
New Komeito is aiming to get 13 seats.
A loss in the upper house would not eject the ruling camp from government, since it retains a huge majority in the more powerful lower chamber.
But a big loss would mean the ruling bloc could not enact legislation, which must be approved by both houses of parliament, threatening political paralysis that could trigger calls for Abe to quit or even call a snap lower house election.
No general election needs be held until 2009.

Harry Beckwith is the author of Selling the Invisible and The Invisible Touch, both marketing classics. Now he applies his unparalleled clarity, insight, humor, and expertise to a new age of mass communication and mass confusion. What Clients Love will help you stand out from the crowd-and sell anything to anyone. From making a pitch to building a brand, from designing a logo to closing a sale, this is a field guide to take with you to the front lines of today's business battles. Filled with real tales of success and failure, it shows you how to: * Fly a Jefferson Airplane. Everyone knows there's a Jefferson Monument, but a Jefferson Airplane? A brilliant, attention-grabbing name often includes the unexpected and the absurd. * Strike with a Velvet Sledgehammer. It's not a hard sell. It's not exactly soft. Selling well means finding the fine line between modesty and bragging, and driving the message home. * Speak to the Frenchman on the Street. A French mathematician believed that no theory was complete until you could explain it to the first person you meet on the street. Marketers, ecoutez! * Dress Julia Roberts. Why one scene from Pretty Woman can enlighten you more than a full year of study at a top business school. What Clients Love will help you get focused, stay focused, and follow the essential rules to success-by doing the little things right and the big things even better.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
In What Clients Love, marketing maven Harry Beckwith offers valuable lessons about capturing and keeping clients. (As Beckwith puts it, "Competence gets firms into the game that relationships win.") Using snappy examples from Absolut Vodka, Kinko's, Starbucks, and Ian Schrager's boutique hotels, he organizes his advice by describing four significant social trends that shape client needs and loyalty. Beckwith's strategies for coping with information overload focus on getting to the point--using a shorter sell and fewer superlatives. He makes a clever and convincing case for giving both testimonials and blurbs the death penalty. He details the decline of client trust with a plan to eliminate cold calls, dress for success, and a spot-on critique of PowerPoint ("Lincoln had no slides at Gettysburg.") Other chapters explore the limits of the Internet and offer nongimmicky ideas about creating a brand, including 20 questions for choosing a name for your business.
Beckwith's advice is fresh, funny, and strategic. He is a master of anecdote and metaphor whose examples range from television's Sex and the City to nihilistic philosopher Nietzsche. Yet the book's clarity is sometimes undermined by its too clever formatting. It's best to enjoy its wisdom one chapter at a time, over coffee. Consider it the caffeine in your cup. --Barbara MackoffAbout the Author:
Harry Beckwith is a frequent guest lecturer for many national corporations, including ABC, Inc., BellSouth Corporation, Norwest Corporation, and Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc., among others. He lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

On the Verge of Replacement, 'Geographical Community' Survives
"A decade or so ago, having just written a book about the decline of community in America, I found myself giving speeches on the subject to audiences in different parts of the country. The reactions varied, but there was one thing I could always count on: Someone would rise during the question period and ask me about Internet communities. Aren't they the modern replacement for old-fashioned geographical community? Who needs street life when you can be in instant communication with a like-minded beekeeper or Bordeaux drinker anywhere in the world?"
"My answer was always simple and unyielding. Internet communities are a sham. They lack the permanence, commitment and even the reliability of face-to-face social interaction. Much of the time, you don't even know who the person on the other end is. The only genuine community, I kept repeating, was the kind where you can count on seeing your friends in person, week after week, year after year. Some audiences bought this; others didn't."
"In the ensuing few years, my rigid view took something of a beating. Internet relationships, if not full-fledged communities, began to take on a more stable quality."
"In view of all this, I feel the need to be a little cautious in suggesting that as we approach the end of another decade, the pendulum may be starting to swing again. Distance didn't die. Place didn't die. In fact, in much of what you see and read these days, you begin to get the feeling that place - the soil of old-fashioned geographical community - is making a comeback."

Welcome and thank you for coming to SuperCurlyGurl. You arrived to a place that includes content about natural curly hair, yoga, beauty, culture, and so much more.
I became a natural curly hair girl in 2009 and never looked back (though at times I wanted to). I enjoy the versatility and powerful feeling that natural hair brings into my life. At first I wanted to grow my natural curly hair to waist length but that changed to just wanting very healthy natural hair at whatever length. Which brought me to creating this blog where I can post about the ups and downs and in betweens of my natural curly hair life.
Yoga is super awesome! It totally centers me and brings me to a place of solitude. I am no expert and I do not take yoga classes consistently but when I do take class, I always take away the fact that I am here now, in this moment, where there is no need to worry; just being in the moment and do the best I can and from there, grow and grow and grow.
I am a mother of 3 children; 2 girls and a boy. I really love being a mother, though at times I wouldn't mind taking a break from motherhood. My adorable kids love NOT listening to me, they believe that making as much noise as possible is the only way to live, and they would rather ask me for everything instead of their father whom of which is sitting in the same living room/kitchen/etc. as myself yet seems to be overlooked when it comes time for the "asking for" session of the day (ALL DAY). I believe my kids think I can do anything, and though I find that inspiring, it's actually not…I'm tired dammit!! LMAO
So, please sit down, relax, grab a cup of green tea (or coffee), and enjoy every single bit of my blog!


text: Ok So I pretty much baby my truck. After getting home I put my truck in reverse to back into the driveway and, clunk? I put it in park and said maybe it was something else. I put it back in reverse and another clunking noise... I put it into neutral and then drive and it also clunks in drive. Im not really familiar with RWD vehicles so I couldnt tell you what anything is under there besides the exhaust, differential, and driveshaft lol. What could be causing this clunk? Think the dealership will repair it under the warranty?

Most listings are in the $0's per square foot per year. The San Mateo submarket is going through a decrease in rates. In the last 3 months, the median rate decreased $16 per sqft per year. That's a 100% decrease in rent.
In the last 90 days, 9 listings have come on the market, which means new availabilities most likley are going fast. You'll want to be prepared to make an offer immediately. There aren't many listings below 2,000 square feet posted, so finding a space for a small business might be tough.
The standard measurement for office space in this area is around sqft. Most buildings in this area are approximately 1 floors. Most buildings in this market were built in 1982 and are Class Class A.
Not much of the real estate is used for commercial space, so it might be hard to find office space. Health care is the dominant industry in this market. Most of the folk of San Mateo work from home.

Letters to the Editor - October 2004
Dear Editor:
I am writing to express my interest in the article by Inés Bebea about the problem of minority small business owners and their trouble being included in the bidding for lucrative contracts (June 2004). This is a problem that has always existed, but, with the controversy surrounding the construction of a new stadium and convention center in Manhattan, the issue has risen even more to the forefront. The article by Ms. Bebea offers the perfect argument for the inclusion of minority-owned businesses in large contracts and would be an asset to the cause of these businesses if the building of the stadium ever gets off the ground. The article also fits perfectly with the theme of the issue—young businessmen and women of color who have made it, despite the continued blockades to their advancement. Ms. Bebea should be commended for her direct and informative writing and for concisely bringing such an important issue to your readers.

Dear Editor:
I was reading The Network Journal and was particularly touched by the Editor's Note, "When Warriors Die Too Soon" (July/August, 2004). I am still missing Lambert, but not in a mournful way. I was really pleased that you paid tribute not only to him but also to his brother before him [Samori], whom I never met, and Shaka, whom I didn't know either. But we give thanks that we choose to honor those who have made a difference among us. As someone said at his funeral, he wasn't one of the guys who ran for the mike, but he made an impression on my life in the little over a year that I knew him at WBAI. Again, give thanks.

Mumps outbreak at OSU
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WTVN) -- Public health officials are investigating a possible outbreak of mumps at Ohio State University, where nine students are reported to have the contagious infection.
"The onset of their illness started as early as February 12th for some of them and has continued on for others until March 3rd," said Mysheika Roberts, medical director for Columbus Public Health. "We have five female cases and four male cases."
The department is working to find out whether there is a connection between the cases. Roberts said officials are in the early stages of their investigation and are interviewing students.
Ohio State is preparing for spring break next week, and some students may already be leaving campus.
"We are concerned that this could spread further either on campus, or in the general community, or communities where these students may be traveling for spring break."
Roberts says the infected students have been told to stay isolated from others.
Mumps is a viral infection that typically starts with fever, fatigue and body aches. Roberts says the treatment is rest and fluid.

Faucet with attached water lines.
So I have a leak on a bathroom faucet. The leak was at the connection of the shut off valve and the water line going to the faucet.
I had to cut about an inch off the line on the faucet to get the compression nut and ring off but now it is too short to reach the valve and this crappy faucet has the water lines fixed to it so I can't just get a longer one on the faucet.
So what's the fix for this? I don't think I can extend the lines from the faucet can I?
The copper pipe coming up from the basement has a drop ear soldered on there so I could cut that pipe, extend it, then put a new drop ear on there.
In the basement there is PEX connected to the copper pipe going up to the bathroom. Probably the best thing would be put a longer piece of copper on the PEX but I don't have the tool for that. I could replace the faucet too I guess but that would be two faucets so they would match since it's a double vanity.
Post a picture---if the faucet uses 3/8" lines--you can get a double 3/8" compression fitting so that you can extend the tubing with another piece of 3'8" .
Do not attempt to reuse the brass ring from the old water line--get a new one.

Thanks for the info it's 3/8" so I could try that.
I attached a picture.
Yeah I defiantly don't want to reuse the compression ring. I had to replace the drop ear that was leaking and reused it to avoid the issue I am having now. Worked for quite a while but it started leaking so I guess I don't have a choice anymore :)
Should I be able to use the same valve and nut?

Mike's solution will be your best bet. You should be fine with the same valve and nut. Buy a 3/8 compression union/coupling. a little bit of 3/8 O D pipe and a 3/8 comp. ring.
Thanks guys!

Balance calcium and magnesium levels in your body with Natural Calm from Natural Vitality. A steady balance of these two minerals is essential so that you could reap the health benefits. Consuming too much calcium without sufficient intake of magnesium may cause an imbalance within your body. This may manifest itself in the form of painful conditions.

good product
I tend to be a high stress person so appreciate products to counteract his. Has a nice flavor and has lots of good stuff in it. It is kinda pricey though so I would only use it during times of high stress.

Love this stuff its amazing. I had to ease up to drinking 400mg a day so be careful at first. I take it for migraines as requested by my neurologist. And I love it cannot ever live without it! Havent tried other flavors however the lemon is great tasting. I mix it with hot water and I started replacing my second cup of morning coffee with it. Sometimes ill drink it before bedtime to relax. Magnesium is a natural muscle relaxer it works wonders!
Taste Good Helps with headaches natural stress reliever
If you drink too much at first without building a tolerance you will get diarrhea.

No more night time leg and foot cramps
I really didn't believe this could work. I have tried so many things to stop the painful and constant leg and foot cramps that kept me awake nights. I was in horrible pain every night and terribly sleep deprived. On a friends recommendation, I tried Natural Calm by Natural Vitality, and the leg and foot cramps are gone! I drink a cup during the day and that is all it takes. I do recommend you let your system get accustomed to it or you will have "issues", but once that is accomplished, you are good to sleep through the night, pain free. I gave it to my husband yesterday. He suffers from Restless Leg Syndrome. He enjoyed a good nights sleep for the first time in a week. So I am ordering more for both of us to use. A great product.

Got for our son with autism.
We bought Natural Calm by Natural Vitality to help calm down our son with autism and to help promote regular bowel movements. Just started a couple days ago and he's been going a few times a day with ease!

On my Second One!
I find that Natural Calm, Sweet Lemon by Natural Vitality does help me relax when I'm too wound up to sleep. I like this flavor best too (like a fizzy lemonade, quite pleasant, imo). I sometimes take a night time stack of this Mg supplement, along with melatonin, and ashwagandha. Helps me sleep and manage stress naturally. Also, this Mg supplement keeps you naturally regular..just don't take too much. This is not a laxative just a side effect of taking too much of any magnesium supplement. I find this great for those that exercise at high intensities and need recovery and relaxation. Also women who suffer from PMS symptoms can greatly benefit from a high quality magnesium supplement like this one.

So far so good!
I've only used Natural Calm, Sweet Lemon by Natural Vitality a few times and so far it seems to help with my bloating. I bought this to help keep me regular and help with muscle aches after a run or a heavy workout in the gym.
Taste is nice.

Magic Powder!
Natural Calm,Sweet Lemon by Natural Vitality is fantastic! My 9 year old asks for this every night as a part of the bedtime routine. It's called "calm down potion" in my house and it works like magic.
Great taste, mixes well with water or juice.

Natural Calm - Naturally Effective
I love Natural Calm, Sweet Lemon Flavor by Natural Vitality. I have been reading about the importance of magnesium for mental clarity and better sleep and bone health. The fact that it is in powder form and tastes good - the flavored ones are much better than the plain - helps you absorb it much easier. I sleep much better when I take it and generally notice an improvement in how I feel during the day.
Natural tasting one is too bitter so I always order a flavored variety.
