Keith Urban Opry Induction: Singer Becomes First Member From Outside North America
Last night (April 21), the legendary Grand Ole Opry added another unique voice to its heritage with the induction of Keith Urban's "southern hemisphere" — his words — accent. Nine-year Opry member Trace Adkins (with Josh Turner by his side) welcomed the New Zealand-born and Australia-raised guitar slinger into the elite group, making him the first member from outside North America. (Watch video of the induction below.)
As he prepared to accept the honor, Keith reflected on his perception of the show that made country music famous, never having been able to hear or see it from abroad.
"It is right on to what I imagined in my head that it would be like," he told reporters backstage before the induction. "There's a community simplicity about it that I was really hoping that's what it would be like backstage. I grew up playing in all these country music festivals all around Australia, in Tamworth in particular, which is the country music capitol of Australia. The culture, if you will, of country music and the people, the fans, the artists, I find basically the same in Australia, here, when we travel over to Europe. There's a certain way of being that is really what the music is about."
The "For You" singer couldn't contain his excitement, though, when he graced the center of the Opry stage and his induction became official.
"Thank you very much! Yee haw! That is awesome!" he exclaimed.
He took the time to thank his parents, wife Nicole Kidman — who was in attendance — and his daughters, who were "hopefully" asleep, and many more, before reflecting on where this journey has taken him.
"It's a long way from Caboolture [Queensland, Australia] to the stage here at the Grand Ole Opry … and to stand in this circle is the most phenomenal thing," he said. "This is a responsibility that I take deep to the heart of me."
The iconic radio show has a very special place in the 44-year-old's heart, having inspired him to step up his career.
"The first time I played the Opry was actually backing another guy, called Slim Dusty, who's no longer with us and was a legendary Australian country artist," Keith said during the pre-induction press conference. "He used the little band I had called the Ranch as his backing band. I remember standing back there … and thinking it'd be great if I could get up there sometime and sing on that microphone."
The whole area surrounding the Grand Ole Opry House has special meaning to Keith, especially a nearby gas station.
"It was the first time I heard one of my solo songs on American radio," he recalled. "I pulled in there early in the morning to put gas in my car, and I heard 'It's a Love Thing' playing over the speakers while I was gasing up my car. It's a particularly sweet spot for me over there."
Not to be forgotten, the consummate entertainer had his fans in mind as he hit the stage.
"I share this award with them tonight," he professed. "I was driving here thinking how important the fans are. Like a lot of artists, I get cards and notes and letters and stories in the meet-and-greets about how the music affects them, how the songs touch them in their lives, and they often say, 'You don't know how much that means to me.' This opportunity, for me, is a way to say they don't know how much they mean to me. For all of those things that connect with them, they're why I do what I do."
Also on his mind were the people who believed in him early in his career. One person in particular was a label exec, Mary Martin, who took a meeting with him in 1989 and listened to what he calls a "terrible demo."
"Of all the people I met, she's the only one who sent me a letter," he said. "It might've been a stock industry letter, I don't know, but I love the fact that she sent me one, in Australia. I'm paraphrasing a bit, but she said, 'I listened to your demo. I really appreciated your music. Country music is in a particularly traditional swing right now. So your music is a little out of step, but I hope you find a home here.' That was all I needed to hear. It was totally inspirational for me."
Another source of inspiration comes in the Grand Ole Opry itself, and the history it contains from Hank Williams to Johnny Cash.
"There really is something particular that is in, of all things, a Waylon Jennings song that he wrote called, 'Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way?'" he admitted. "That song has always been the perfect summation of what I love about playing country music. It's about the diversity. It's about the evolution. Getting this tonight is my way of dedicating myself not only to the history, but to the future of country music. The line of the song that says, 'Where do we take it from here?' That is the defining thing that makes me keep trying to do new things and bringing new things in. Expanding it and growing it, because I'm passionately interested in where we go from here."

Amos Bronson Alcott was an American teacher, writer, philosopher, and reformer. As an educator, Alcott pioneered new ways of interacting with young students, focusing on a conversational style, and avoided traditional punishment. He hoped to perfect the human spirit and, to that end, advocated a vegan diet before the term was coined. He was also an abolitionist and an advocate for women's rights.
Born in Connecticut in 1799, Alcott had only minimal formal schooling before attempting a career as a traveling salesman. Worried about how the itinerant life might negatively impact his soul, he turned to teaching. His innovative methods, however, were controversial, and he rarely stayed in one place very long. His most well-known teaching position was at the Temple School in Boston. His experience there was turned into two books: Records of a School and Conversations with Children on the Gospels. Alcott became friends with Ralph Waldo Emerson and became a major figure in transcendentalism. His writings on behalf of that movement, however, are heavily criticized for being incoherent. Based on his ideas for human perfection, Alcott founded Fruitlands, a transcendentalist experiment in community living. The project was short-lived and failed after seven months. Alcott continued to struggle financially for most of his life. Nevertheless, he continued focusing on educational projects and opened a new school at the end of his life in 1879. He died in 1888.
That is a good book which is opened with expectation, and closed with delight and profit.

Georgia Wildlife Resources Division
2067 U.S. Hwy. 278, SE, Social Circle, GA 30025
Physical Landscape
The Blue Ridge province includes much of north central and all of northeastern Georgia, forming some of the most dramatic terrain in the state. It occupies about 1,850 square miles, or roughly 3% of Georgias area. The Blue Ridge is composed of highly metamorphosed and deformed rocks, including some of the oldest rocks in the state. The rocks range from 400 million to over one billion years old. The topography is very rugged with many steep mountains ranging in elevation from 1,600 to over 4,700 feet. Brasstown Bald is Georgias highest point at 4,784 feet above sea level. An observation building at the summit offers spectacular views of the surrounding mountains, and a museum provides excellent natural and cultural history of the area. The Blue Ridge province forms the backbone of the Appalachian Mountains from North Georgia to Pennsylvania, forming the eastern continental divide, which separates watersheds draining into the Atlantic Ocean from those draining into the Gulf of Mexico.
Habitat Highlight: Cove Forest
Some of Georgias most splendid remnants of uncut forest reside in isolated mountain coves that proved inaccessible to earlier generations of loggers. Despite the mountain environs, the coves are still home to some truly massive trees and to a wonderful diversity of both plants and animals. A spring day is well spent in the cool understory of a Cove Forest, surrounded by wildflowers and serenaded by the songs of thrushes and warblers.
Mountain Cove Forests in Georgia typically are located above 3,000 feet on the cooler north slopes of mountains in the Blue Ridge. Though Cove Forests cover a tiny percent of the state, they are home to a highly diverse assemblage of plants and animals. This diversity is supported by 70 inches of precipitation annually and a temperate climate.
Georgias Cove Forests are home to many plant species in every level of the forest. The dominant canopy trees are often Basswood (Tilia heterophylla), Sugar Maple (Acer saccarum), American Beech (Fagus american) and Buckeye (Aesculus sp.). At higher elevations, more northerly trees are found, such as Yellow Birch (Betula lutea). In lower elevation coves, southern species appear, such as Umbrella, Bigleaf and Frasers magnolia (Magnolia sp.). These trees provide thick leaf litter each fall that contributes to the rich soils of the forest floor.
Despite the varied canopy trees, the most striking plant diversity is found in the herbaceous layer of the forest, which also provides the wonderful spring display of wildflowers. Species typical of the Cove Forest include False Lily-of-the-Valley (Maianthemum canadense), Spring Beauty (Claytonia caroliniana), Trout Lily (Erythronium americanum), Squirrel Corn (Dicentra canadensis) and Dutchmans britches (Dicentra cucullaria). Many Trillium species are also present.
Many wild flowers bloom from March until May. This early spring window, between cold weather and the period when canopy trees leaf out, is enough time for the herbaceous plants to rapidly grow, flower and produce seeds. By the time late spring arrives, many of the wildflowers will have already passed.
An economically important species, the Wild Ginseng (Panax quinquefolius), is the basis of a multi-million dollar annual harvest throughout the Appalachian Mountains. The sustainability of the Wild Ginseng harvest is in question, and Ginseng poaching has become a problem in protected areas such as the Great Smoky National Park. Wild Ginseng is a perennial herb that can live up to 60 years, developing a large forked taproot with many medicinal uses. Concerns over the harvest of Wild Ginseng are based in part upon its slow growth, low reproductive rate and long life span.
The Southern Appalachians are also home to 27 species of salamanders, which is more than anywhere else in the world. Georgias cove forests provide habitat for many of these species. Rich under-story vegetation and rotting fallen logs provide excellent habitat for salamanders. Some salamanders have extremely limited distributions, such as the Pigeon Mountain Salamander (Plethodon petraeus) which is only found in limestone crevices on the sides of Pigeon Mountain.
Natural disturbances of the Cove Forests are generally rare and localized, and usually consist of high winds or insect outbreaks. Though the cool humid climate led these forests to be nicknamed asbestos forests, fires occasionally occur during droughts.
Recently human disturbances have altered the cove forest ecosystems. Logging, both selective and clear-cutting, has removed most of the largest trees. Accidentally introduced diseases have also taken their toll. We have entirely lost the American Chestnut (Castenea dentate) to Chestnut Blight. Florida Dogwoods (Cornus florida) and Eastern Hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) trees are currently suffering from introduced diseases.
Georgias Cove Forests are home to our largest land mammal, the Black Bear (Ursus americanus). Black Bears in Georgia are primarily found in the mountains and the Okefenokee Swamp. They are omnivores consuming a wide range of plants, animals and even garbage. Black Bear can reach almost 500 pounds but are typically much smaller. They rarely harass people although in areas where people feed them, they can become dangerous.
Key Animals: Mountain
The cooler climate of the mountains generates habitat typical of land far to our north. Because of this pattern, the Southern Appalachians form the southern range limit of many species of plants and animals, including a number of breeding bird species.
The diverse habitats throughout the Georgia Mountains provide nesting sites for many colorful breeding birds, but Wood Warblers (Parulidae) are among the most spectacular. Though we have several species that are year-round residents, the majority of our Warblers are long distance migrants, leaving Georgia for the tropics each fall and returning in spring. Several of our most spectacular warblers nest in the mountains of north Georgia, including some rare species, such as Cerulean Warbler (Dendroica cerulea) and Golden-winged Warbler (Vermivora chrysoptera). Both of these birds are species of concern due to recent severe declines in their populations. Coupled, these two species raises an interesting management dilemma because they require quite different habitat. The Golden-winged Warbler is an early-successional species, requiring recently disturbed habitat in the mountains. Historically, blow-downs and recently burned areas provided nesting habitat for this bird. Today, regenerating clear-cuts can provide habitat for the Golden-winged warbler. The Cerulean Warbler, however, generally nests in old forests, particularly selecting large super-canopy trees for nest locations. These two species are linked by declining numbers, but they require different habitat, illustrating the complexity and often conflicting demands of wildlife management.
Habitat Highlight: Trout Streams
The cold clear water of our mountain streams offer superb habitat for cold-water fish, such as Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) and the introduced Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). These fish depend on the cold water because they need high levels of oxygen that only cold water can provide. The rocks along the streambed are often crawling with aquatic invertebrates that provide much of the food for the growing trout (see stream invertebrate guide on page 49). These invertebrates typically press themselves flat to the rocks to keep from being swept downstream and breath with gills until they immerge from the water as adults. Though the cold mountain streams are not as biologically diverse as the warmer rivers further south, they provide an important source of recreation for fishermen and women.

Tell you what, we want a boat too. Shall we do half and half?

We couldn't have
picked a better boat to take us to Panama.
The first two
days are straight sailing and can often be quite choppy. In fact, our English/Welsh husband and wife hosts Symian and Amy, said it was rare for people not to be sick on the
first leg. By some miracle, for us the sea was like a pond,
completely flat. So flat in fact, that we had to motor all the way
and couldn't rely on the sails, which was a bit of a shame. There
were three square meals a day, with lunch and dinner cooked by Symian
or Amy and always involving fresh salad as well as hearty pasta, meat
or fish dishes. They insisted on doing all the cooking themselves,
and all we had to do was the washing up, which was bliss!
It should be mentioned here, that Stef "I'm no good with children" Cataldo was a massive hit with baby Hallie. From the instant that she clapped eyes on him, she was besotted and
Stef was near enough the only one who could make her smile and giggle at an instant. I tried to gain her approval by playing games and showing her how to do jazz hands and peekaboo, but all the while, she was peering over my shoulder, getting agitated because she couldn't see where Stefan was. It was very cute indeed.
boat sailed on all through the night for the first two nights, so Symian
and Amy had to take it in turns to sit up and watch the radar for
other ships. On the second night, Stef and I set an alarm and came up
to give Sym a rest, so he nestled down for an hour's sleep and we sat
up in the little captain's command seat, listening to Mark Kermode
podcasts on shared headphones and watching as huge cargo ships slowly
blinked on and off on the radar screen, like the game Battleships.
With no land around us for miles in every direction, the only light
was from a giant moon and millions of stars, and the odd red or yellow light from one of the superships which would glow briefly on the horizon, then fade off on another course. It was funny to think there were other people out there aboard those ships so far away. Unlikely that they had a private cabin and breakfast served on deck for them in the morning, we reckoned.
When we woke up
the next morning, we emerged from our cabin bleary-eyed to find that
we'd actually arrived in Paradise. If these
photos don't make you want to go to the San Blas islands, you can know once and for all that you're definitely not a "beach person". I don't actually think I'm much of a beach person, but perfect white sand beaches
and turquoise seas, fringed with coconut groves and above that, a
cloudless blue sky was very easy on the eye Even Stef, who's been a
dedicated beachcomber for years, said these were the most beautiful islands he'd ever seen.
The next three days were
ours to spend lolling in hammocks reading, diving off the boat,
snorkelling sunken ships and coral reefs, wake boarding (sometimes
well into the wee hours as Sym and Amy were quite the party people
after Hallie was tucked up in bed), walking along deserted beaches,
barbecuing fresh fish over the fire and playing boozy games of Cranium in the evenings. The next morning we eased sore heads by swimming in
the warm, translucent Caribbean sea. You could see huge, bright
orange and yellow starfish at the bottom of the sandy floor from the
boat, that's how clear the water was.
The local Kuna Indians,
indigenous to the islands, would come alongside the boat each day to
sell fish or molas, which are multi-layered images or themes cut and
stitched into fabric. The finer and neater the stitching, the better
the mola. Amy had some old clothes belonging to Hallie which she gave
to some of the women who passed by and every now and again a man
would ask us to charge his phone for him while he fished in his canoe
nearby. You wondered how long since he'd last had full bars of battery.
They're a really fascinating people, the Kuna. Each
community had a leader called a Saila, who guides his village in all
political and spiritual matters. Three Saila Dummagan ("Great
Sailas") guide the population as a whole, which consists of just
49 communities. As we were getting our passports stamped in the tiny
island village of Wichubwala, we saw a meeting going on in the Casa de
Congresso (basically a thatched hut, which acts like a kind of town
hall). It was funny to see everyone in there, strung up in hammocks
as they discussed the topics of the day.
Sym told us that the
Kuna were also a very matriarchal people, with men taking the woman's
name after marriage and going to live with the bride's family rather
than the groom's. So important is it that a girl should be leader
here, that in many families where only boys are born, the eldest will
be dressed as a girl, and we saw one or two very handsome examples of
this wandering around the islands!
The people make these experiences the best, of course, and Sym, Amy and Hallie were such great hosts and interesting people. We really enjoyed getting to know them and hearing about their lives, which are about as different from the normal 9 to 5 as you can get, and were a complete inspiration in how you can live your dream if you just go and do it. Now, we just need to scrape together enough money when we get back to buy a yacht. And learn how to drive it. And then we'll need some money for fuel.... Hmm. Maybe not just yet then.

This multipurpose cleanser brings to mind Superman—like the superhero, it can do just about anything. Good for both face and body, the shower gel wards off bacteria, eradicates dirt and grime, tones and hydrates your skin—and it can be used as a preshave skin softener. (It'll be leaping tall buildings next.)
Decided to buy this because I love lemon scent. The bottle is a bit small but I'm guessing it will last roughly two months. Smells very subtle (not overpowering) and cleans well. Skin is a bit dry (but doesn't "feel" dry, if you know what I mean?) from it but I use moisturizer anyway so it isn't that big of a deal.4

Researchers and engineers from New York to California are forming a collaborative network via the Internet to speed the design of structures that minimize earthquake damage and loss of life. The National Science Foundation (NSF) has announced 11 awards totaling $45 million to fund shake tables, centrifuges and other experimental equipment that can be shared across the nation to study earthquake effects.
"The past decade has seen immense devastation from major earthquakes around the world," said Priscilla Nelson, NSF division director for civil and mechanical systems. "We can't control the destructive forces of nature. But this equipment can help us design and construct buildings, bridges and other structures that can better withstand those forces."
The awards are part of the George E. Brown, Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES). NEES is a collaboration designed to improve the seismic design and performance of the U.S. civil and mechanical infrastructure. NSF plans to spend up to a total of $81.9 million by 2004 under NEES to enhance earthquake engineering research equipment in the United States and to build a high performance Internet network to connect the equipment facilities.
The current equipment awards, totaling $45 million over four years, will fund construction, expansion and modernization of equipment at 10 universities that will include capabilities for remote observation and operation. The equipment includes new and upgraded shake tables, centrifuges, a tsunami wave basin, largescale laboratory experimentation systems, and field experimentation and monitoring installations. NSF hopes to grant a second set of equipment awards in the future. All equipment is expected to be operational by late 2004.
A six-month scoping study already underway is defining user requirements, hardware and software technologies, and support infrastructure needed for the network. The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign leads the scoping team.
Eventually, a community-led consortium will be selected to manage and operate NEES for at least 10 years.
The NEES program was renamed in November 2000 by an Act of Congress to honor the late George E. Brown, Jr., former chairman of the House Science Committee and a champion of engineering and science in Congress for over 30 years.

eoSemi's mission is to displace quartz crystal or other discrete resonator components in all kinds electronic systems.
For systems that have no wireless connectivity eoSemi plans to replace the resonator component entirely. eoSemi has developed CMOS oscillator technology that provides a stable frequency reference that is accurate to parts per million levels over the industrial range of operating conditions. Silicon oscillators have not been successful to date as they are hugely sensitive to changes in temperature, the stresses and strains of the IC manufacturing process and the effects of aging. eoSemi has designed and patented analog and digital circuits which sense and measure these effects and then compensate for them.
For mobile devices with any kind of radio connectivity eoSemi is developing a product which will ensure that only one resonator component is required in any wireless system. This means delivering a crystal oscillator that is noiseless enough to be the frequency reference for a state-of-the-art wireless modem and that consumes very low levels of power such that it can be used to provide clocking and timing sources when the device is in standby or sleep modes. eoSemi is developing a number of patentable CMOS circuit and software techniques which should allow it to offer the lowest power single crystal oscillator solution on the market.

This topic has come up a couple of times before. I thought this might be interesting. Maybe someone has time to look up the referenced letter in the 1919 journal:
ABJ April 1920 pg 147
ARTIFICIAL EGG FERTILIZATION Mr. E.M. Cole of Audubon Iowa recently called my attention to the fact that the artificial impregnation of so called drone eggs as set forth by Gilbert Barratt in the American Bee Journal December 1919 page 415 is not a new idea but that Langstroth reported such a case. The statements referred to appear on the first page of the appendix in the 1914 reprint of the original and on page 41 of Langstroth's third edition. The latter reference reads Dr. Donhoff of Germany in the summer of 1855 reared a worker larva from a drone egg which he had artificially impregnated. Langstroth himself had attempted the same thing in 1852 without success but still held to the opinion that it could be accomplished under favorable circumstances. Apparently this paragraph has been omitted from the recent revisions of Langstroth but now that the subject is receiving considerable attention would it not be desirable to incorporate it in the next revision.--Wallace Park
The reason why the experiment in question was left out of the Langstroth Dadant revision was that Mr Langstroth had failed and that we feared Donhoff had been mistaken. But the incident was entirely forgotten by me and I thank you for recalling it. It is now too late to incorporate it in the new revision which is just out. But later we may be able to add not only this but also additional facts I do not believe that the eggs which a queen drops involuntarily have ever been cared for by experimenters to ascertain whether they are fertilized or not. If it has been done has the result been invariably the same and what was the sex? These questions have a scientific and perhaps practical importance.--Editor

Realm Of Shadows (edition 2002)
by Shannon Drake
Work details
Realm Of Shadows by Shannon Drake
No current Talk conversations about this book.
[Spoilers] Shannon Drake has added another element to her vampire series: The Alliance. This is apparently a combination vampire slayer/watcher organization that's been around since the beginning of time. Our newest heroine, Tara, is the genetic inheritor of her family's membership in this alliance. However, this does not make her as cool as Buffy. She's got the dreams about vampires, but no super-powers, although she might be a little better at killing them than the average human. She's also got a guy hanging around protecting her from the latest super-old, super-powerful vampire to have been recently awakened. This guy, Brent, may or may not be a vampire.
This could have been a really fascinating element with flashes back to the grandfather's inception into the Alliance and historical explanations of the order, however, none of this is explained until the last chapter. Tara spends most of the book completely disbelieving there are any such things as vampires, and protesting long and loudly about how everyone around her is insane. Fortunately she's still "compelled" to take steps to protect herself and her family, otherwise this idiot would have died in the first chapter.
Drake also doesn't explain much of anything else that's going on. Characters have long interactions with each other being described only as "a man," and "the woman" so the reader has no idea who's actually involved here. Drake is also ambiguous about who is good and who is evil. We know for sure that Tara is good because she's the heroine, and also some people from the second book in the series, but that's it. Even the hero's relative trustworthiness is cast into doubt, and the heroine isn't sure she likes him throughout much of the book (even though she's "compelled" by him and also sleeps with him). I think this is intended to heighten suspense, but it's just confusing and makes me care a lot less about what happens to these characters.
The eventual climax is really the only good part of the book. I was left wanting by some of the "big vampire fight scene(s)" in the other books in this series, but this one really delivers. It almost makes reading the rest of this 400 page crap-fest worth it. Drake (who is also Heather Graham) should really just stick with writing historical romance, because her foray into the paranormal sub-genre is extremely disappointing.
This novel was just plain bad. The writing was rambling, and the story, what there was of it, was slow-paced, dull, and not fully developed. There were too many characters that weren't well-explained, and the "hero", Brent Malone, whose character and paranormal abilities could have been compelling, was never developed. Also, the implications of what it meant to be part of the "Alliance" were never explained, nor were the consequences of someone who was part of the alliance hooking up with someone who wasn't. Even my review of this book is confused because the book was so confusing. Total waste of time.
Well, I finished it - the author just tried to hard to balance between a good old fashioned bodice ripper and a more modern throat ripper but fell between two stools. I can see where she was going and it may be that this is precisely aimed at a (mainly female) target market. I just felt there was literary merit struggling to escape the bondage of a scary Barbara Cartland.
From BackCover:
In an ancient churchyard just outside Paris. archeologists uncover an ancient tomb certain they have stumbled onto the find of the century. But something goes very wrong as the tomb is opened. Something too frightening to imagine...and too terrible to utter.
For American visitor Tara Mason, the romantic city of her dreams has suddenly turned sinister. For she has heard the blood-curdling screams in the churchyard and knows that she must run away--from the powerful stranger chasing after her...and from a nightmare she can't be sure is real or imagined.
At the country estate where she has sought refuge, the shadowy man reappears. He calls himself a guardian, sworn to protect the innocent from an evil most never see. And Tara will have to trust him, because that evil has seen her...and won't stop until it claims her, body and soul.
The 4th book in a series of romantic vampire stories. The first two are really good. But since then they've gone down hill. Just plain boring.

Under Milk Wood and Other Plays
€ 12,49
Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
September 2008
BeschreibungUnder Milk Wood is Dylan Thomass undisputed and unforgettable masterpiece an affectionate, but hilarious portrait of a small Welsh town. The classic 1954 recording, featuring a perfect cast led by Richard Burton as First Voice, is rightly considered to be definitive. This collection also includes two earlier radio programmes: Return Journey to Swansea and Quite Early One Morning, read by Dylan Thomas and others. Enjoyable in their own right, they also provide a fascinating insight into the process that led towards Under Milk Wood.
PressestimmenThe voice of Dylan Thomas is so luscious that it sparked the audiobook business, ensnaring two young women with a tape recorder, who set out in the early '50s to record major authors reading their own works, one of whom was Dylan Thomas. They founded Caedmon Records in 1952, the first audiobook publishing company. So when I saw that the first actor in UNDER MILKWOOD was not Dylan Thomas, I groaned. Who better?A" I asked. The answer: Richard Burton. This 1954 radio drama is now more artifact than revelation. But still a pleasure. Babies bawl, doors slam, and cows are recorded mooing. We're back in Wales by the sloeblack, slow, black, crow black, fishboat-bobbing sea.A" Two other programs are narrated by-you guessed it-Dylan Thomas. He's gone into that good night, but still can be heard out there in the dark, raging. - Maine Portland, Audio File

Portland Area for Rock/Wood/Plant
I am living in Hillsboro and new to the area. Anyone knows some good stores for rocks, driftwood, and plants?
Also, I don't mind to do a little hiking to collect them if there is a good place. I was at the Wet Spot on Hancock this afternoon. They have some nice driftwood but too expensive. Their plants are not in good condition either.
Lol wet spots plants are the best you will find around here. They may not look great initially but a nice trim and grow out fixes that.
I myself am looking for rock I'm thinking about looking around at some of the landscape places but they sell bulk.
Maybe a few of us locals could go in on a yard or more depending on how many people

I have to respectfully disagree on the quality of the plants from The Wet Spot. While I've had good results with their fish, I can't say the same for their plants. (Snails, BBA, Chlorosis, Damaged Roots, etc.)
However, I have had consistently good results with plants from World of Wet Pets on Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway. Their selection and prices on bare root plants are especially good. (I have a strong preference for stores that propagate their own stock over reselling wholesale stock imported from Thailand)
As for wood and other aquascaping items, prices are pretty much the same all over town- this time of year, Hughes Water Gardens might have some seasonal deals.
Hi All,
Five (5) days and counting until September 15th. The room is reserved, the time is set, and the preparations are complete....don't miss out on this awesome event!
Who: Christel Kasselmann (Internationally recognized expert on aquarium plants with 45 expeditions to the tropics)
What: Presentation - 'New and Rare Aquarium Plants'
Where: Seattle Pacific University Campus; Demaray Hall; Room 150 (509 West Bertona)
When: Saturday, September 15th; Social time @ 7:00pm; Meeting Starts @ 7:30pm
Admission: FREE!! (Can you believe it?)
The location has limited seating for 200; we are requesting non-GSAS members to please RSVP to Seattle.Aquarist at Gmail.com. If you have already e-mailed your request you should receive confirmation this weekend, if not please contact me.
Thanks and I hope to see you here!
I'm not to picky about plants I buy most of mine from cayes and the know nothing about keeping plants. If you get them the day they come in its usually pretty good nice selection. They sell out quick and typically just have the basics unless I bring them something
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
The world of wet pets I pretty much despise. Especially their customer service. They make you think you're dumb and that you don't belong there...
What kind of plants/rocks are you looking for?
The Wet Spot on the other hand... Ugh! Just getting one simple item usually involves a half hour wait. They seem to have an unusually high turnover rate, especially at the checkout. If there's a place with service that keeps me away, it'd be TWS.
Back to the original poster's question- where do you go?
I keep reading the thread in the hopes there's some little shop like The Thriving Discus on Watson in Beaverton (now defunct) that never gets any publicity. I still have fish that I bought there nine years ago.
I agree about the wet spot comment. I know most LFS's are slow but its just ridiculous. They also need to invest in some a/c.
They do have one of the best fish and shrimp selections I have ever seen.
Lots of plants, but usually come with algae.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
wheres cayes at?
I guess I'm just weird but I think the "jungle" feel in there adds to the fun of fish shopping. :icon_wink
ha ha, jungle feel. In the summer I swear its 110 in there. At least cool it down, I'm not sure how those fish survive that.
Oregon decorative rock has lots of rock and you can buy as little as you wish and the old guy usually sells it cheaper than the signs.
Buy plants from this forum if you want quality. WoWP and TWS are both decent stores, wet spot is way overpriced but better selection, world of wet pets are kinda rude but better prices, lower quality.
Caye's Tropical is on SE Division and 132nd-ish. Haven't been in in quite a while, maybe I'll swing by and see what they have.
cool, I'll have to go by there sometime.
BTW. I have some nano sized manzanita from Tom Barr that is extra if anyone needs some for cheap.

Don't let a long ingredient list deter you from making what might be the most perfect hot dog condiment. It's sweet and spicy, with acidity and texture.
Though many chowchow recipes call for canning and processing in jars, this one does not. The quantity here is small enough to be used within a few weeks' time.
Make Ahead: The vegetables need to be brined for 4 hours or up to overnight. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
Servings: 4 cups
- 4 1/3 cups water
- 3 tablespoons kosher salt
- 1 large green bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and cored, then coarsely chopped
- 1 large red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and cored, then coarsely chopped
- 1/4 large green cabbage, coarsely chopped
- 1 medium yellow onion, coarsely chopped
- 1/2 pound green tomato or tomatillo, cored and coarsely chopped (discard the tomatillo husk)
- 2 cups distilled white vinegar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 2 whole allspice berries, smashed
- 1/2 teaspoon celery seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds
- 1/2-inch piece peeled ginger root (1 teaspoon)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Place 4 cups of the water in a large (3-quart) bowl or nonreactive pot. Add the salt and stir to dissolve, then add the green and red bell peppers, cabbage, onion, green tomato or tomatillo. Cover and let sit at room temperature for at least 4 hours or in the refrigerator overnight.
Drain the vegetables in a colander, discarding the brine.
Combine the vinegar, the remaining 1/3 cup of water and the brown sugar in a large (3-quart) pot over medium-low heat, stirring until the brown sugar has dissolved. Add the smashed allspice berries, the celery seeds, cinnamon, coriander seeds, ginger, turmeric, black pepper and crushed red pepper flakes; mix well. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
Strain; discard the solids and return the liquid to the pot.
Add the brined vegetables and increase the heat to medium so the liquid barely bubbles at the edges. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes; reduce the heat as needed. The vegetables will have softened slightly and the peppers will have faded in color a bit.
Transfer to several containers and let cool, then cover and refrigerate until ready to use (up to 1 month).

If it's just the internal lenses you're after, I've got a big pile sat in the cupboard after delensing two pairs of headlamps.
yes, its just like a simple plastic, i need to change it because im putting xenon!!

power rack and pinion
Anybody know witch power rack and pinion will fit a 79 camaro front clip.
Like to get rid of all the old linkage.
Have checked out Flamming river, but the don't have one for my clip and my wallet is not fat enough either.
There at a lot of thing to consider when selecting a rack and pinion for a conversion ... the overall length and the length of the extensions mainly. Then, the overall strength of the unit ... it is heavy enough to do the job ...
I know of no kits for your application ...
You really don't want to open this can of worms. It is not a simple job to "bolt on" a rack and pinion. Especially when you try to use a rack that wasn't designed for your non-rack suspension... There are a lot of design criteria that needs to be met to have a rack work correctly with an existing non-rack suspension. Bump steer, ackerman and turning radius are just a couple that will haunt you mercilessly. Do a search here on "bump steer" and you will find a few threads that discuss this.
Read this and do some research...
You would be much farther ahead to simply put on a quicker ratio recirc. ball box and rebuild your current suspension. There is really no gain to be had with a rack and pinion that would out-weigh the problems you will create by trying to adapt one.

Has anyone seen this gauntlet kit before?
Has anyone seen this gauntlet kit before?
Saw that set the other day. Thought I knew it at first but, not who's I thought it was.
The gauntlets themselves don't look too bad. The rocket is pretty bad though. For starters, it only has two rows of holes in the "plumb bob" part of it.
Depending what it's going for though, might not be a bad deal.
That's my thoughts anyway.
Those look like the same ones that are always being put up on eBay. I could be wrong though but the pic looks the same.
Yes, I think those are the ones that show up on ebay from time to time.
If I remember correctly a chap called "Egyptbrick" sells them. Apart from the rocket they do look really nice and clean cast
For the price though I'd prefer FP's
If those are supposed to be Jango gauntlets, then the left one is completely wrong. There shouldn't be a calc pad area, or the calc pad itself either.
Thats one thing that was getting me too BF. If they were Boba gauntlets then they wouldnt need the grappling hook bacause you cant see his and one the right gaunt he doesnt have the _-_-_ shape. So it had me confused.
A buddy of mine just bought a set of those. I'll try and get some pics of them when they arrive and let you all know about the quality. The rocket could use some improvement though.
and where is the flame thrower box??
I was seriously thinking about buying this set. Is FP's price close to this one's? These are about $180 U.S. plus shipping. If FP's price is reasonable, I would much rather deal with a TDH.com member.
I believe, if they're available, that they're comparable.
maybe they are a pre-pro version
OPPI wrote:
and where is the flame thrower box??
they don't have the box
I saw these today when my buddy got them. The upper parts are very clean and crisp allthough they seem a bit to small in the diminsions. The lower clamshells suck though. They are both the same one (the right side) and badly warped. I don't think they can be used more than likely gonna have to hook them up with sintra bottoms.
As far as durablily I would say that resin wasn't the best thing to go with. It's thin in some areas and they could easily be shattered if you stumbled into a wall or swung your arm and hit something with mild-medium force.
For $180 I would say they are a tad overpriced considering there is a lot of work to be done to get them costume ready. But this is just my own opinion.
The flamethrower is not pictured but it was included in the set. The area where the 2 nozzels are is empty, it is just an empty resin box.
Another one of these is up on E-Bay. I almost bought it, but it's still a little confusing as to whether they more match Boba or Jango. It's almost as if it's a Boba left and a Jango right.
Has anyone bought these? Any decent comparisons to FP's?
I figure for Boba, I can fill the Azteccian dag on the right gauntlet with putty and sand the sharp edges down a bit to round them off. I have a couple local people working on the aluminum rocket idea (will post when appropriate). What other improvements are needed?
I would suggest just sticking with one of the many quality gaunt makers here on TDH. They are tried and true, you know they are sticklers for details, and you know you won't get ripped off. That's just my 2 cents.
Iam going to agree with Jango_Wes.
This forum is where your going to get accuracy, and quality.
I just got a mostly finished set off of eBay; the dealer (not egyptbrick) said that he had bought them there last summer, so it's possibly the same kit. For my purposes, the fact that it's not exactly either Fett's pair isn't a big deal. But I'll let y'all know what they're like when they get here.

Has anyone bought these?
If you want a comparison of FPs, just look at the real suit. You won't find a more accurate kit than his, at least not that I've seen.

Another Has anyone bought these? Any decent comparisons to FP's?
MY FP RotJ GAUNTLETS
Yeah those look great, BF, but what if you want a Jango gaunt kit and need them in a few weeks?
My choice would be (and is.. I bought them) RA for Jango.
Again, just my opinion.
Well, I'd LOVE a pair of FP's, but he's been a little hard to get ahold of, so I figured I had either bothered him one time too many, or he's swamped. Or both.
I'm afraid my old set is going to fall apart any day now...
That is E-bay set is waaaaaaaaaay off. I'm not even sure where to begin. However, they may be OK for someone who can overlook the accuracy factor or need a set of something ASAP.
I think with some modifications, they could pass off as decent Jango gauntlets. I emailed RA however and am waiting to hear back...

Stuart retiree named state's police volunteer of year
STUART ? Oray Esiner, a retired airline executive who moved with his wife to Martin County in 2007, enjoys giving back to his adopted community as a volunteer with the Stuart Police Department.
Esiner, a 75-year-old native of Turkey who became a U.S. citizen in 1987, devoted so many volunteer hours to the police department last year ? 770, or almost 15 hours a week ? that he was recently honored as the state's Volunteer of the Year.
The Jensen Beach resident was presented his award March 5 during the Florida Crime Prevention Alumni Association's annual conference in Altamonte Springs.
"I'm not the type of person who will sit at home and watch soap operas," said Esiner, who said his hobbies are fishing and gardening.
Instead, he helps the Stuart police as one of 15 volunteers who mostly patrol neighborhoods in marked vehicles during the day to increase the police presence in the city.
Mostly, the volunteers conduct house checks for residents who are away and direct traffic at crash sites or special city events. They occasionally perform visual surveys to count the number of drivers not wearing seat belts, Esiner said.
"Sometimes we find a person forgot to lock the door," Esiner said of the volunteers who are armed only with a two-way radio. "If there's something wrong, we call an officer and they take it from there."
"The Stuart Police Department is very fortunate to have many great volunteers," said Chief David Dyess. "Oray's recognition by receiving the Florida Volunteer of the Year Award shows the dedication and caliber of our volunteers. I am very grateful to Oray and our entire volunteer program."
Since Esiner started as a volunteer in 2009 after attending the civilian police academy, he has logged more than 2,500 hours.
He said the volunteers help improve safety throughout the city.
"If we are not doing what we're doing, it has to be done by a regular police officer," Esiner said.
Esiner said he and his wife, Ayse, "love it here" in Martin County.
Though she holds a bachelor's degree in interior design from Queens College, Ayse Esiner works now as a Realtor and property manager. The two met in Turkey years after they had become established residents of the United States.
"I thought this was the best opportunity to give something back to the community," Esiner said, adding that before he retired he "never had this kind of opportunity or this kind of time."

Another Side to Statins
Heart-healthy drugs show promise against inflammation, cancer and the flu
By Nathan Seppa, 11:13 AM April 19, 2012
It's been quite a ride for statins. Lipitor, Zocor, Crestor and their relatives are fast becoming household names. These cholesterol-lowering drugs have delivered a body blow to heart disease and stroke, two of the top four killers in Western society.
All success comes with a price: Some scientists express concerns over the widespread use and possible overprescription of statins. Still, there's no denying the evidence that they have cardiovascular benefits in many people. The drugs' track ...

Each month our friends at The AU Review will be highlighting the best new music from Australia. Check out their top picks for May below.
Velociraptor – Brisbane, Queensland
Andrew Wade, State Editor: This street-fighting, garage rocking, 60's-reminding indie supergroup Velociraptor (comprised of members of the musically varied yet similarly excellent DZ Deathrays, Tiger Beams, Tiny Migrants, Strange Attractors, Running Gun Sound, Comic Sans and a few more), Cynthia puts a slightly polished spin in comparison to the band's relatively small back catalog without losing any of the charm. They take musical cues from early British rock legends such as the Kinks and the Hollies, while Jeremy Neale's raspy and incredibly well suited voice rises over the group's backing vocals that wouldn't be out of place on a '50s doo-wop song. It's an achievement that the song (indeed, the entire group's output) is so tight and complete sounding, considering the band has twelve members (yes, twelve).
Steering By Stars – Adelaide, South Australia
Sosefina Fuamoli, State Editor: Steering By Stars are my favourite act in Adelaide at the moment. They're about to release their second album and won the opening slot for Adelaide's Laneway Festival this year, wowing audiences in droves. I love the mood of the song. There's something incredibly decadent and dramatic about the arrangement; the repetition of the drums keeps you tied down, which is good because the wall of sound/build up of tension on the track is so easy to get taken away with. Lachlan Wilson's vocals are raw and passionate, while his work on keys adds to the constant build up of sounds and into some epic crescendos.
Pluto Jonze – Sydney, New South Wales
Larry Heath, Editor-in-Chief: This track's a few months old now but deserves a look by music fans around the world. Sydney musician Pluto Jonze has been hard at work for many years, building his fanbase while refining his craft. "Plastic Bag in a Hurricane"—an effortlessly catchy tune and radio hit down here—is the culmination of all that hard work. It deserves all the praise it receives and here's hoping it receives a little more. If he comes over to your neck of the woods, don't miss your opportunity to see Pluto Jonze. Spolier alert: The TVs you see in the video are a big feature in his live show. I seem to remember there were dolphins involved at some point, too.
Mikelangelo And The Tin Star – Melbourne, Victoria
Mandy Hall, State Editor: Melbourne outfit Mikelangelo And The Tin Star is delivering a new generation of surf music. Dark and exciting with great energy. When they play it live they have go-go dancers (Go-Go Gadget Go Girl), which makes everything better.
Brown Horn Orchestra – Perth, Western Austraila
Tony Lendrum, State Editor: The Brow Horn Orchestra is incredibly talented and has this wonderfully uplifting vibe when they play that makes it impossible not to get the toes a-tapping. The band's single "Goliath" is testament to that. It's brilliantly produced, has these lush layers of sound and is a song about coffee—basically a winner all around."

Announcing a 30 per cent slide in statutory profit to $US116.9 million for the six months ended December 31, chief executive Stuart Crosby admitted that conditions were "relatively unfriendly" to his business.
He resisted attempts by analysts during a conference call to predict when conditions would turn saying: "We are sensitive to false dawns."
In the company's preferred measure of management adjusted earnings, which strips out one-off items, it made $US150 million, down 14 per cent against the first half of 2010.
Revenues were down 3.3 per cent while operating expenses were flat. However, compared to the second half of 2010, expenses were down 7.1 per cent.
The result failed to meet some brokers' estimated earnings and the company's shares closed down 3.8 per cent, or 39¢, at $9.80.
Despite the disappointment many analysts applauded the tight control on costs. "They're doing an amazing job on cost control to maintain their earnings," said E. L. & C. Baillieu head of research Ivor Ries.
"If they hadn't taken out the chainsaw it would have been very ugly."
He added that Computershare's luck would turn.
"The revenues won't keep on falling. Globally, publicly contested mergers and acquisitions volumes and IPO values were pretty close to 30 years lows in that half," he said.
"You'd be a brave man to predict that happening for the next few years. It will come up," Mr Ries said.
Mr Crosby said more savings were likely to be achieved in the second half because of the company's investment in technology, which remains about 10 per cent of revenues.
Earnings from Computershare's core business of corporate register maintenance fell during the half, as did stakeholder relationship management which helps mutual funds in the US handle takeovers of companies they have invested in.
The registry business has also suffered the loss of some major clients including Hewett-Packard and Comcast to Wells Fargo, and Bell Canada to Canadian Stock Transfer. The Canadian company is owned by Pacific Equity Partners which is planning an initial public offering of another competitor to Computershare, Link Market Services.
With 30 businesses in five continents, Computershare's earnings are notoriously difficult to forecast and analysts rely on management guidance. The company maintained its guidance of 5 per cent to 10 per cent lower earnings in 2010-11 compared to 2009-10.
Mr Crosby said this assumed reasonably flat trading conditions in the second-half of the year.
Normally Computershare makes several acquisitions a year but fewer deals have been done. The lack of acquisitions means the company is sitting on $320 million in cash, up from $226 million a year ago. It typically generates about $300 million in cash each year and while Mr Crosby said he is examining several "interesting opportunities" he conceded none might lead to a deal.
He said returning cash to investors was a matter for the board.

Michelle Stafford On 'The Stafford Project' Season 2, 'General Hospital,' And Being Done With Phyllis
Lightning can strike twice, sometimes more electrifying than the first time. That's what Michelle Stafford proved in 2014, when she joined daytime soap "General Hospital" as cray-cray Nina Clay. (Even ISIS wouldn't recruit this chick!)
That was not an easy feat, considering the two-time Emmy winner became a household name playing super-vixen Phyllis Newman on daytime's number-one-rated soap "The Young And The Restless" for 16 years. HuffPost Canada TV caught up with the ageless beauty to chat about her new hit role, dish exclusive details on the second season of her web series "The Stafford Project," and if she's watched her "Y&R" replacement Gina Tognoni yet.
HuffPost Canada TV: Congrats on the DVD release of your hilarious web series, "The Stafford Project," available on Black Friday.
Michelle Stafford: I'm really excited about it. I worked my ass off editing all the behind-the-scenes stuff. I did it myself, because I know what fans expect. I'm such a nerd in that respect. People want to see the guest stars and actors screw up the shots.
What can we expect in Season 2?
We're revamping and retooling. You can expect the same style of comedy. It's still about some chick named Michelle. The title may change. I feel awkward about the title because this character, even though some situations are based in my real life, isn't really me. And putting it out there that this is Michelle Stafford makes me feel a bit uneasy. She'll continue to be an idiot in future seasons! [Laughs] I mean, even Larry David didn't name "Curb Your Enthusiasm" "The Larry David Project!" For now, it's fine, but in the future, she's going to be f**king the wrong men and that's not me. Although I have f**ked the wrong men in my past. [Laughs] Anyway, we already have "The Mindy Project" out there.
Have you lined up any guest stars yet for Season 2? You really outdid yourself in Season 1.
Confirmed right now are James Scott, Catherine Bell, and Nadia Bjorlin, but many Season 1 guest stars are expected to come back, too. I just need confirmations because they're so busy. Oh, Corbin Bernsen is joining.
Is Season 2 written already?
We've written outlines for the entire season. We're going edgier, as if we could be any edgier, right? We're putting a microscope on Michelle's life in the soap world.
Is that because you're on "GH" now?
Companies wanted more characters -- not just Michelle. They wanted younger characters and storylines. If you've seen the return of "The Comeback," you know it was Lisa Kudrow and a sea of young people. You have to hit all the demos. It's just the way it is. There's no way around it.
Will you be filming on the set of "GH?"
[Exec producer] Frank Valentini and [head writer] Ron Carlivati have been insanely supportive. Frank has even helped us meet certain people to buy "TSP." Frank's a really smart producer. He gets the web. And the fact that a project like this will only aid "GH" in bringing in a new audience. He's very forward-thinking. He's very excited about "TSP." I will say, though, there aren't any distinctive egos on set. On "GH," we come to work, and then leave. I was like, "Where's the drama?!" Billy Miller [who plays Jason on "GH;" and recently left the role of Billy on "Y&R"] and I had this conversation: "Wait, so people just come to work and leave?" [Laughs] There's no drama on "GH."
Not all superstars can traverse to another show in a new role and succeed but you managed to, Blanche!
I really just wanted to act. Do you know what I mean? I know after being on a show for a while, you can get complacent. It's not a criticism of "Y&R"; it's just the way it was. Unless you have a writer who can reinvent you ... but it's not common, though. There's so much I want to say, but it's not right to say it. I do feel like I have been rejuvenated as an actor. I feel lucky to have the opportunity to be on "GH," which is doing so well. Year after year, more people are tuning in. It's a really good show. I mean, I enjoy watching it. It's always entertaining. The way Ron tells a story and unfolds, it's very exciting but he also sees the heart in it. I don't know if you saw the recent scenes between Maurice Benard, Chad Duell, Dominic Zamprogna and Bryan Craig, but they were f**king amazing. It was such good TV!
Did you ever think Donna Freakin' Mills would one day play your mother?
[Laughs] No! It's amazing.
You and Maura West (who plays Ava) are daytime's version of Joan Crawford and Bette Davis -- without the over-the-top/campy acting that ensued when they starred on "Whatever Happened To Baby Jane."
[Laughs] Maura is so extraordinary. It's so refreshing to do a scene with another woman who desires to see me do well in a scene. I've experienced times when another actor doesn't want me to shine in a scene. Maura's so giving and credible.
Is it weird running into Billy on the set of "GH"? Billy's turned Jason into a bona fide hit, too!
But Billy is a really good actor, too. He didn't come in here with an ego, or like, "Oh, I was a big star on another show." He doesn't have that going on. Sometimes people do that and expect to be treated like a star because they've won Emmys and were popular. I think that's to their detriment.
I think Roger Howarth (who plays Franco) is the most talented leading actor you've ever worked with.
Oh my God. He's just magic. I agree!
Did you guys click right away?
Yes. He's really good; if he throws you a ball, he expects you to catch it. And if you drop it, he'll throw you another one ... and expect you to catch it again! We did some scenes the other day that'll air in December that made me go, "Oh my God, I didn't even have to act!" I just had to be there. I hope they turn out great. What happened between us in that particular scene, I have never experienced before as an actress with another actor. Ever.
Have you caught Gina Tognoni on "Y&R" as nu Phyllis?
I haven't seen her on the show or on magazine covers. I just don't watch "Y&R." I honestly don't. I have been done with Phyllis longer than people know. It doesn't matter because it's Gina's role now. I have no connection to Phyllis. If I wasn't in a happy place, maybe I would be nostalgic. Listen, it was, for sure, the right time to leave "Y&R" when I did. I really love "GH." And I really loved my time on Y&R, too.
Let's talk Emmys. A date has been set for April 2015. You have 2 statues. With a kick-ass new role and loads of award-worthy work as Nina Clay, will you submit yourself? You love playing the Emmy game.
I don't know if I really love playing that Emmy game, to be honest. There are only four shows left so it's not as fun. I love going to the parties and seeing everyone. I have issues with the Emmys. I've been vocal about it. When you play a game, you want to make sure the rules are sound. I'm having a hard time getting past that. Hopefully things will change ... having said that, I've only been on "GH" for five minutes, so who knows?
Knowing Frank, you'll be in contention. Frank always gets what he wants...
Frank does get what he wants, that's for sure!
My favourite part of Nina Clay is that she was in a coma for 20 years, which instantly made her fascinating given all the social and tech advances she's missed. I hope they explore more of that character thread because in a way it balances out her crazy with innocence. She's perfect to juxtapose how ADD our culture has become. I also love her name!
I love her name, too! They love making reference to what she's missed. What I love, personally, is that her emotional state is like a 20-year-old. She still believes in love -- and she's not jaded. It's cool.
For the complete interview, check out the next issue of Soap Opera Uncensored where Stafford goes more in depth about what's wrong with the Daytime Emmy Awards, the shocking differences between the "GH" and "Y&R" fanbases, and why everyone has a crush on co-star Ryan Paevey.
Laura Ceron is one of six actors to appear in all 15 seasons of "ER." Ceron played Chuny Márquez starting in the Season 1 episode "Motherhood" and made her final appearance in the series finale "And In the End ..."
Larry Hagman started playing the infamous J.R. Ewing in 1978 when "Dallas" stormed TV airwaves. The show lasted until 1991 and had two TV movies, one in 1996 and the other in 1998, before being revived by TNT in 2012. Off and on, Hagman has been portraying J.R. for 16 years.
Vicki Lawrence originated the character of Mama on "The Carol Burnett Show" in 1974 in "The Family" sketch. The sketch got its own spinoff, "Mama's Family," in 1983. It lasted until 1990 and Lawrence reprising the character from time to time in her comedy acts.
When Dann Florek departed "Law & Order" in 1993, he was replaced by S. Epatha Merkerson who played Lt. Anita Van Buren. Merkerson stayed with the show until the end, playing the same character for 17 years.
Richard Belzer originated the role of John Munch on "Homicide: Life on the Street" in 1993. He's appeared on more than nine different shows as Detective Munch, including "Law & Order: SVU," where he's been a series regular for 14 seasons. Belzer has played Munch for 19 years.
Peter Falk became synonymous with the role of Columbo, one he played from 1968 all the way up until 2003. Falk took over the role of Columbo in the TV movie "Prescription: Murder." While he started playing the character in 1968, his appearances were not consecutive -- there were gaps in between episodes and seasons.
Dann Florek first started playing Captain Cragen in 1990 on NBC's "Law & Order." After three seasons, Dick Wolf shook up the show and replaced Florek. He returned for an episode 1995 and again in a TV movie 1998. He joined "Law & Order: SVU" in 1999 and has been with the series since.
Kelsey Grammer originated the character of Frasier Crane on "Cheers" in 1984 and portrayed the character for 20 years on his spinoff, "Frasier," which ended in 2004. Grammer also played Frasier once again in 2008 for a Dr. Pepper commercial.
James Arness starred in "Gunsmoke" from September 10, 1955, to March 31, 1975, the show's entire 20-year run. Arness also reprised the role of Matt Dillion in five TV movies from 1987 and 1994.
"The Simpsons" as a series started in 1989 on Fox, but the show originated as a short on "The Tracey Ullman" show in 1987. "The Simpsons" recently started its 24th season and has been renewed through Season 25.
Susan Flannery has been around soaps for years, but her longest run has been on "The Bold and the Beautiful" as matriarch Stephanie Forrester. She was one of the few remaining original actors to appear on the soap before news broke that she was leaving in 2012.
Suzanne Martin has been playing Maggie Horton on "Days Of Our Lives" since the show began in 1973. In 1979, Rogers won a Daytime Emmy for her work on the soap.
Susan Lucci fended off stalkers, kidnappers, marriage proposals and every classic soap opera trope on "All My Children" as Erica Kane from 1970 right until the show ended in 2011. Lucci's 41-year run on the soap also netted her 18 Daytime Emmy nominations and one win.
Like her "All My Children" counterpart, Erika Slezak spent 41 years on her ABC soap, "One Life to Live." While she didn't originate the role of Victoria Lord, Slezak took it over in 1971 and stuck around all the way through the very end in January 2012. She won six Daytime Emmys for her work.
Caroll Spinney has been with "Sesame Street" from the start. He's played both Oscar the Grouch and Big Bird since 1969, a total of 43 years. He's won multiple Daytime Emmys for his work on "Sesame Street" and two Grammys for related recordings. In 2006, Spinney was awarded a lifetime achievement award from National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.

Yes - that should not happen. Call Walther USA/S&W tomorrow. However - as you may be unfamiliar with the mag release - are U sure you weren't hitting the mag release yourself?
I have shot about 500 rounds through this gun but now it seems that about every 5-10 rounds the clip releases and drops about a 1/4 inch. It doesn't actually fall out but it drops enough to jam the feed and I have to hit it back up to continue firing. Not sure if perhaps the clip release has become loose or is this a issue with these. I just went to take my CHL class and during the shooting qualification the instructor advised me that I should have this checked out or get a new gun as it would render me in a bad situation should I need to use it.
Any feedback or comments are greatly appreciated
Thomas Mullenix
Yes - that should not happen. Call Walther USA/S&W tomorrow. However - as you may be unfamiliar with the mag release - are U sure you weren't hitting the mag release yourself?
Does it happen with all your mags or just the one? Is it the first generation or newer. Shipwreck is right, on the newer P99's the mag release is longer and it is possible the flip up from recoil is causing the trigger finger to hit the mag release. Recoil is pretty good with the .40, Not a normal occurance, but it has been known to happen.
TommyRox, I shot rounds 200 through 300 through my P99AS yesterday and the clips were doing exactly what you described. This problem just started yesterday and progressively got worse. It would do it at least once for every clip. It's not a faulty clip since it was doing it with both of mine. Shipwreck's question was my 1st thought but quickly dismissed considering I would have been doing that from day one and you have to pull the release much further to operate than a finger bump can do from inside the trigger guard. My best guess is that the mag catch spring is not strong enough to withstand the recoil and is rapidly weakening. We should do as advised and contact Walther. I will post what I find out. Please do the same so we can compare notes and help each other resolve this issue.
By the way...other than that, I LOVE the gun!
Just noticed the dates. Haha
I purchased a P99 in November 2011. Shot a couple hundred rounds and then started having the same problems you are having. I sent it to Walther USA and foundnout that the frame was cracked and that was the cause of the problem. Walther is going to replace the gun with a new one. The new one is on order from Germany. I expect to receive it in the next week or so. Hopefully the new one wont have the same defect but hearing that your problem is virtually identical to the problem I had it appears that the problem may be with an entire production run.
I just posted a reply below and when the same problem started I carefully checked everything I was doing to make sure that I was not releasing the mag. I also used each of my 4 mags and the problem got worse and I was nowhere near the mag release on eithernside of the trigger guard. That is when I called Walther. They sent a shipping label and I sent it to them in January. Found out the problem (cracked frame) about 2 weeks later. Their head gunsmith had to sign off on replacing the gun with a new on and I was then called by someone in service. My new gun is on order.
No plastic!!!!!!!!!!

After market Braided stainless steel brake lines
Does anyone out there have a kit to upgrade the brake lines. I had them one of my fun cars and loved the pedal feel. Just curious if there is a demand for them Earls and Good Ridge Racing are down the street from me they make all kinds of custom brake line setups for all the indy cars/off road/bikes and everything else. Just wanted to see what was out there before I went that route. IF anyone has a bad set of brake lines (the rubber parts and fittings leading to all the calipers). Send them to me possibly, maybe I can see how much it would cost for a set for the front and rear. Possibly get a group buy to bring down costs.
Also are the calipers/ rotors bigger on the V8 WJ just wondering if anyone has upgrade that area at all either.
If anyone can point me to a vendor that carries brake lines already for the WJ let me know
Re: After market Braided stainless steel brake lines
almost all lift mfg's have a braided brake line kit . Places like summit and Jegs maybe able to get them with a colored over lay .
Re: After market Braided stainless steel brake lines
Classic tube has a set to replace all 5 soft lines: http://www.classictube.com/shop-onli...tegory_id=1949
Goodridge makes a set to replace 4 soft lines: Goodridge G-Stop Brakeline Kit
I went with Goodridge & added the 5th line from Classic Tube.
Re: After market Braided stainless steel brake lines
sweet man thanks so much I love this site thanks for sharing the info that save me a ton of work!
Re: After market Braided stainless steel brake lines
Np , Your welcome
Re: After market Braided stainless steel brake lines
Trust me on this one. Go with the Goodridges and pick up the A arm line from Classic. I had all kind of fitment issues with the Classic Tube front lines especially if you have a late '03 or '04. Don't get me wrong,they hung in there till we got it right but my Jeep was on jack stands for a month because I finally had to send them my original hoses to copy.The Goodridges are all flexible ss from frame to caliper and CT uses pre bent hard line sections in between(which aren't stainless by the way) and the bends were wrong for my calipers twice.
Re: After market Braided stainless steel brake lines
yeah I had goodridges on my Z. They are used on the Indy Cars as well so they make good stuff. I will go with that setup like your talking about. Also like I mentioned I have ATE calipers/ slotted /dimpled rotors(fronts). But was wondering if the calipers/rotors where larger on the v8jeeps would make a nice upgrade with out getting a big brake kit. If someone could take some measurements of the calipers and rotors. I have a laredo so I know I have plain jain calipers. Wasn't sure if you would have to have a 17" wheel maybe not sure what the Limited comes with stock.
Re: After market Braided stainless steel brake lines
I have classic tube lines front/rear on a 96 F-250 4x4. Good fitment and I can't remember any problems.
