Nice looking holsters!
This is a discussion on One Holster To Rule Them All within the Defensive Carry Holsters & Carry Options forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Originally Posted by 1911PKR Oh man..... those are sweeeeet.

What you can't see from the pics, is the pearlescent paint that really turns it into a piece of art & the shading that gives it somewhat of a 3D look.
I laughed out loud when I saw the first one.
That rig with the AZ flag is just fantastic. I am always impressed with Rocky's work.

Looks like good work, but to tacky for me.
More outstanding leather artwork from Rocky! You've got to realize that the gingerbread guy is for the OP's little bitty daughter, who outshoots all of us whenever we go out! She's awesome.
Treat me good, I'll treat you better. Treat me bad, I'll treat you worse.

What we've got here is failure to communicate.
the gingy edition gets my vote...love it!...
Gingy edition should be available for sale! Outstanding! Beautiful work!

Rocky's holsters are works of art, and of function! Remember, he is making what the purchaser has requested, and if the purchaser is satisfied, don't hold Rocky responsible for their requests. Rocky is very good to work with and keeps you informed every step of the way. I paid a little more for my Black Ops Pro than for some other holsters, but I have a holster that can be used any way I want to use it which saved me from buying several. Rocky satisfied the OP, and he also satisfied myself. I got exactly what I wanted, as do most of his customers. Rocky rules!

I'd love to have a Gingy too but then it wouldn't be as special. Very nice work!!!!
That's the spirit!!!!
Hey at least it's not a tattoo on her butt of Gingy. What a fun way to semi-permanently personalize the bod, with a nice holster and carry weapon.
That flag is really stunning work. I love what Rocky does with color.
I appreciate the artistry, but I couldn't have something like that and not mess it up somehow. Plain leather is good enough.
I'm your Huckleberry. Say when.
Thanks for all the good words. To see a pic is one thing, to see it in person, you would be amazed. Remember, it was tooled first, then painted. Rocky spent more than a few hours on it (probably more than he'd care to admit).
My daughter loves it, it totally fits her personality.
Maybe one of these days I'll get a plain holster..but I doubt it.
Rocky you never cease to amaze me, absolutely stunning work.

Bunny Wailer
After a successful audition for Coxsone Dodd, their career took off immediately with their first single, the classic "Simmer Down." Early on, all four of the boys contributed songs to the group, which enabled the Wailers to continue without Marley after he left Jamaica in 1966, to seek work for a time in the U.S. By then, the group had been reduced to a trio with the departure of Braithwaite, Green, and Kelso, but the core unit was so talented, that the temporary loss of one member never threatened their ascendancy. Over time, however, Livingston's songwriting contributions to the group had lessened, although when he did turn his hand to composing, the results were never less than scintillating. Marley, of course, was more than happy to pick up the slack. By 1973, the Wailers were untouchable, the biggest reggae band in Jamaica, and on the verge of an international breakthrough. Which is when it all went to hell. Life on the road is tough at the best of times, but the group were used to traveling the tiny distances between Jamaican (mostly Kingston) clubs. Now they were off on their first headlining tour outside the island. The first leg was a three month jaunt across the U.K., followed by an outing to the U.S. Livingston would never make that second leg, he barely made it through the first. Tensions were rising within the Wailers, a situation exasperated by the tour. Livingston had enough, and upon the group's return to Jamaica, he announced that he would not accompany the band to the U.S. His real reasons remain unknowable, the one ofttimes given, that his religious beliefs did not permit the eating of processed food, and what else could one eat on the road, doesn't hold much water.
Certainly the Wailers had somehow managed to obtain appropriate foodstuffs during the group's tour opening for Johnny Nash two years earlier. Whatever his true rationale, Livingston wanted off the road, at least outside the island, he intended to continue touring with the band in Jamaica. How this would have actually worked in the long run remains a moot point, before the year was out, Tosh had come to blows with Marley and quit the band. The Wailers were no more. (They would however make two final live appearances at benefit concerts after their official demise.) Livingston now began pursuing a solo career. He launched his own label, Solomonic, with his debut solo single "Searching for Love," in 1973. The next year saw four more join it, "Trod On," "Lifeline," "Arabs Oil Weapon" (which was actually released credited to the Wailers), and "Pass It On" (an alternate version to the one found on the Wailers' Burnin' album). In 1976, these releases were finally joined by Livingston's first solo album, the phenomenal Blackheart Man. The singer was accompanied by Tosh and the Barrett brothers -- the Wailers' own rhythm section, as well as Marley who joins in on a new version of the Wailers old number "Dreamland." Filled with a clutch of crucial songs, the album spun off two seminal singles, "Battering Down Sentence" and "Rasta Man." Protest and Struggle proved quick follow-ups over the next two years, and together with Livingston's debut, the trio of albums made for a militant manifesto of his deepest held political and religious convictions. Even though all three albums were released by the Island label, which had early on struck a distribution deal for Livingston's Solomonic label, and were well received by the press, none would have the impact that Tosh and Marley's releases were garnering.
Remaining in Jamaica, Livingston's profile would be forever overshadowed by his globe-trotting former bandmates. 1980's In I Father's House, did nothing to change this situation, nor did the singles which had appeared across this period. "Bright Soul," "Rise and Shine," and "Free Jah Children," amongst others, all barely registered outside the island. This same year, Livingston recorded Bunny Wailer Sings the Wailers, a tribute to his former group, lovingly revisiting his own favorites, accompanied by the Sly & Robbie led Roots Radics. By the time the album was released later in 1980, Marley's cancer had been diagnosed, the following spring he was gone. If that album had been a tribute to the band, the next was meant to honor his late friend. Tribute to the Hon Nesta Marley was drawn from the same sessions as had produced Bunny Wailer Sings, and again was determined to help keep the Wailers' legacy alive. Of course, in the end there was no need for Livingston to fear, since Marley's death, shelves have been warped under the weight of Wailers' reissues, but in the early '80s, it's understandable that Livingston was concerned that the group's music might have disappeared forever into the archives. However, the singer wasn't content to merely look to the past, and his second release for 1981, Rock'n'Groove, turned to the dancehalls for inspiration. Unfortunately, Livingston hadn't quite come to the grips with the new rhythms flooding from their, while sadly, 1982's Hook Line & Sinker didn't make a much better impression. In fact, the artist's best performance that year wasn't in the studio at all, but onstage. In December that year, Livingston finally stood on a stage again, for the first time since the Wailers had reunited way back in November 1975, as co-headliners with Stevie Wonder of a benefit concert for the Jamaican Institute for the Blind. Anyone witnessing this show was left dumbfounded on why the singer had stayed away so long. His ferocious performance took place in Kingston, of course, and was captured on tape for 1983's Live album. Again Livingston was accompanied by the Roots Radics, who had been acting as his backing band over the last few years, ever since they'd initially joined the singer for Bunny Wailer Sings... In 1985, the entrancing Roots Radics Rockers Reggae released, with the band now gaining equal billing to the singer. This same year, Livingston inked a distribution deal with the U.S. label Shanachie, which was inaugurated with the Marketplace album. It wasn't the best of debuts, and the singer sounds decidedly discomforted by the slick electronics and glossy production that steam across the record. Still, Livingston was determined to at least attempt to keep up with Jamaica's ever shifting musical styles and fashions.
Although not always successful, the singer was never tempted to wallow in the past, and has consistently given a sympathetic ear to the latest innovations in production and rhythms. Then, in 1986, Livingston broke with past tradition entirely, and finally undertook his first tour outside of Jamaica since the debacle with the Wailers back in 1973. His American debut took place in Long Beach, CA, that July, with his later appearance in New York recorded for the In Concert video. The next year, the singer unleashed two new albums, Rootsman Skanking and Rule Dance Hall, both boasting a strong and confident dancehall flavor. It had taken a few goes, but Livingston had finally come to grips with the dancehalls, and a pair of singles, "Cool Runnings" and a recut "Rock'n'Groove," proved the point, both soaring up the Jamaican charts. Having accomplished that, Livingston now, almost perversely, returned to an older sound for 1989's equally wonderful Liberation, eschewing the dancehall flavors for a return to a rootsier past. This turned out to be his most acclaimed album of the decade, and in response the singer set off on a world tour, with backing now provided by the recently reformed Skatalites. The singer opened the new decade with another heartfelt album in honor of his late friend, Time Will Tell: A Tribute to Bob Marley. The disc would garner Livingston a Grammy. And 1990 really was a stellar year, with the singer also making his debut appearance at the Reggae Sunsplash Festival. 1991 brought the Gumption album, another covers' set, but this time from a variety of artists, including Toots Hibbert and Johnny Clarke. The following year, Livingston returned to the present with a vengeance with Dance Massive, a joyous dancehall album, where the taut rhythms virtually overwhelm the songs. Just Be Nice followed hot on its heels in 1993. It was another two years before a new album arrived. Hall of Fame: A Tribute to Bob Marley's 50th Anniversary was a double album, featuring 52 songs, all loving recreations of Marley's Wailers' and solo compositions. Accompanied by a phenomenal aggregation of Jamaican sessionmen, the set would garner the singer another well deserved Grammy.
Meanwhile, Livingston was beginning to turn more of his attention towards politics. He has shown an especial interest in youth issues, and eventually formed his own political party, the United Progressive Party. The U.P.P. platform calls for the decriminalization of marijuana, but of equal importance, also offers up numerous educational reforms. The artist's heavy involvement in politics kept him out of the studio for much of the rest of the decade, but he finally returned in the new millennium with an exciting album, Communication. ~ Jo-Ann Greene

text: Hello all, I replaced my Tivo 3 HD yesterday with a new Roamio Plus. My cable card was a S-Card so I have to wait until Monday to get the cable service working. Meanwhile I have been trying to download content from Amazon, and watch Netflix, etc. I have also been trying to stream to my ipad. I have yet to get the streaming working. Sometimes it sees the service and sometimes it doesn't. I can watch the network status toggle on and off, the IP address appears and then resets. When I ping the tivo internally on the network, I get a bunch of packet loss. The VuDu box on the same wiring and network switch has no drop outs. If it switch cables with the Vudu, I get the same result. I also get the same issue happening over my home wifi if I try that. I have an apple time capsule as my router. I have check the ports are open to go outside the network, and internally. I also have a another series 3 in the house in another room, and it works fine, but of course no streaming. Any ideas?

Federal, state and local governments offer incredible solar energy tax credits and rebates to encourage homeowners to switch to renewable energy to lower their energy usage and switch to solar power. The amount of the solar rebate subsidy varies by program, but some are generous enough to cover up to 30% of your solar power system cost.
The federal government allows you to deduct 30% of your solar power system costs off your federal taxes through an investment tax credit (ITC). If you do not expect to owe taxes this year, you can roll over your federal solar tax credit to the following year.
These incentives dramatically lower the cost of a solar panel system or energy efficiency project. These solar tax credits and rebates often make solar power less expensive than power from the utility company.
However, these programs are designed to reward early adopters of solar power and energy efficiency, so the energy rebate amount per home continues to drop as the allotted funds are consumed. Call SolarCity to secure your rebate at the current level before it drops again. Some locations have additional incentives to make solar even more affordable.
SolarCity is committed to helping you benefit from every federal, state and utility rebate and tax credit available for your energy upgrade projects.
Navigating through government energy rebate programs on your own can be intimidating. SolarCity will identify all the qualifying solar energy tax credit and rebate programs for your system and help you file the required paperwork or file it on your behalf.
After a comprehensive on-site Home Energy Evaluation to diagnose the causes of high utility bills and energy loss, we will help you prioritize what changes will save you the most energy and have the greatest reduction on your utility bills. We will identify relevant solar energy rebates and tax credits based on implemented recommendations, and where applicable, complete the paperwork and submit the application on your behalf.
In California, incentives are available for a wide range of energy efficiency upgrades. To learn more about availability in your area visit Energy Upgrade California. Speak to one of our Energy Advisors to learn more about local, state and federal solar tax credits.

Christopher Bryn Williams, 60, admitted breaching two planning enforcement notices
THE owner of a former scrapyard described as a blight on the community has ended up with a £1,900 court bill.
Christopher Brian Williams, 60, who attended court in a wheelchair, was warned that if he did not pay then he would go to prison for 21 days.
Williams admitted breaching two planning enforcement notices to remove scrap cars, tyres and building materials off the site in Saltney Ferry and to restore the land.
Judge Niclas Parry, sitting at Mold Crown Court, said Williams had totally disregarded the notices.
"You must understand notices are served for the benefit of society and the community in which you live," he said.
The prosecution represented those people. "They are entitled to a decent life without a stain on the community in which they live."
The site was a blight on the local area and the judge said it was clear from the photographs and the papers in the case that Williams had been given every opportunity to adopt a community-spirited attitude to the notices.
"But you ignored them," he said.
Because of that and the way the community had to suffer, he had to be brought to a court of law, which was a last resort.
Judge Parry said Williams would be fined. It was clear Williams did not have the authority to order the site be cleared and he had reduced the fines and costs because of his limited means.
But he had assets which he could sell and he would therefore give him six months to pay or serve 21 days in default.
The judge told Williams that it may well be that Flintshire Council would now serve new notices on him requiring items to be removed.
"It is a matter for you. I would urge you to deal with them in a different manner," he said.
"My experience is that the local authority will do their best to co-operate but it takes two to tango."
Sentence had previously been adjourned for Williams to provide details of his means.
After reading financial reports the judge said it was a case of a man with more assets than income. Williams had a number of vehicles and a property on mortgage.
Brian Treadwell, defending, said the vehicles were old and not worth much. The council had initially regarded them as scrap vehicles.
At an earlier hearing Williams said the cars were not scrap and wire fencing where there were tyres was a chicken run.
Judge Parry said he was glad he did not live there and said the public in that area had to look at the eyesore every day.
Expensive proceedings had been brought which would not, at the end of the day, result in the removal of the vehicles, he said. Williams, of Saltney Terrace, Saltney Ferry, had elected crown court trial.
The prosecution said it had difficulty proving the vehicles were scrap vehicles.
The hearing was told Flintshire Council could, if it thought it appropriate, seek further evidence to show there were scrap vehicles on site, remove the vehicles themselves and bill the defendant or seek an injunction to ensure they were removed.
The notices had required that by last December Williams had ceased using the land at Saltney Terrace for the storage and breaking of scrap vehicles, the supply and fitting of tyres and the sale of secondhand car parts.
Williams was also required to remove a metal clad shed and hard standing by January, and reinstate the land to match the contours of the adjacent land and reseed with grass.
He was prosecuted after an appeal against the notices was rejected.

This just might be the coolest vending machine of all time:
Michael Keferl of CScoutJapan reports:
Pushing the button on the vendor won't exactly pop out a car, but it does dispense a branded tube containing pamphlets on the new models, dealer information, and a sheet of Smart Car stickers featuring the available colors.
Not quite as cool as an actual car vending machine, but ingenious nonetheless. I'm still waiting for MIT's Media Lab to roll out its long-hyped stackable cars, though.

A selfless man of limitless compassion, Gary gave of himself and expected nothing in return. Above all, he loved his family. "His life was gentle, and the elements of nature so mix'd in him that nature might stand up and say to all the world, 'This was a man!'" William Shakespeare.
A graduate of Washburn University in Topeka, Dr. Newman received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Missouri-Kansas City in 1966. Dr. Newman practiced dentistry in Topeka for over 40 years, and was a cattle rancher for many years. He belonged to the American College of Dentists, the International College of Dentists, and the Pierre Fauchard Academy of Dentists. A member of the Topeka and Kansas Dental Associations and the American Dental Association, he served as president of the Topeka Dental Association and held all offices of the Kansas Dental Association, including president. He was awarded many honors, including the Man of the Year award by the KDA. Dr. Newman served in various positions in the American Dental Association, including the ADA Board of Trustees, and represented the KDA as a delegate to the ADA for 14 years. He served as president of the UMKC Dental School Alumni Association in 2002, and currently served as chairman of the Rinehart Foundation. Dr. Newman was past-president of Topeka Friends of the Zoo and donated his time to provide dental work for zoo animals. He belonged to St. David's Episcopal Church and served on its Vestry.
Gary was preceded in death by his father, James Newman; his mother, Lydia Newman, and his stepmother, Thelma Newman. Funeral services were held at 1 p.m. Tuesday, December 5, at Grace Cathedral. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the UMKC School of Dentistry Rinehart Foundation, 650 E. 25th St., Kansas City, Mo. 64108.

Beauty & Wellness Web Design
Creating a beautiful web design that also defines the brand of a new product was our challenge in this project. Our client imports an exciting beauty and wellness product from Japan and needed a visual presentation that would appeal to the American consumer.
We designed a new logo and created a home page that would become the branding for the product. In addition, this web design highlights the wellness benefits of the product and the unique properties of the volcanic rock it is created from. The website also provides the medical and scientific research behind the product in a clean, easy-to-digest format.
The end result is a clear, simple, fast loading, and beautiful online presentation of our clients unique product. Due to a tough economy, our client has suspended the introduction of this product. However, a sample of this beauty products web design can be seen here.

There are a lot of high-profile names nursing some nicks early on in camp -- Arian Foster, Ben Tate, A.J. Green, DeSean Jackson, Marques Colston, Mike Williams, and, of course, Hakeem Nicks. Unfortunately, Bills wide receiver Stevie Johnson might miss the most practice time of any of those players.
Johnson went to the ground grabbing his left hamstring during Friday's practice. After an MRI, Johnson has been diagnosed with a strained hamstring. It's unknown for how long Johnson will be sidelined, but a source has told Pro Football Talk that "the assumption is he'll miss most of the preseason."
Fantasy Analysis:
If Stevie misses just a few weeks and is back later this month, I wouldn't change my ranking on him. Granted, I am not a big supporter of him in this new Bills offense with two very questionable quarterbacks, but he is still a decent WR4 as long as the strain doesn't carry over into the season. His time off will give rookie WR Robert Woods more opportunities to grow on Kevin Kolb.

I consider myself bipartisan because I have probably voted equally democratic and republican over the years. However Senator Pelosi needs a reality check. How many people feel their paychecks reflect the dignity of the work they do?
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is speaking out against a cut in congressional pay because she says it will undermine the dignity of their positions. "I think we should respect the work we do," Pelosi said. "I think it's necessary for us to have the dignity of the job that we have rewarded." ("Dignity" is apparently a synonym for "fat paycheck.") Pelosi, whose husband, Paul, is a legit real-estate mogul, was quick to add that slicing her own paycheck wouldn't "mean as much" as those senators who struggle to make ends meet on $174,000 per year. "We are obviously contemplating a sequester," Maryland Rep. Steny Hoyer (D) said. "Obviously we are going to take a cut, like everybody else." [Source]

Got a little more done and some kinks worked out.
Had to order MORE -an fittings cuz I can't get all the crap together. Like $300 worth of them total in last 3 week's I've bought. fml lol.
Anyways, some pics:
The fuel rail with Massive Speed gauge, breather with 150* fitting for clearance, etc.
Radiator hose -16an feed hose. Thought I measured right. I did not (radiator isn't bolted on bottom and moved). Hose is about .5-1" too long. Have to take off half of it and redo one side.
Top view of engine...had to take off oil feed to add restrictor in, add new teflon tape to 1/8" port on head. Also to trim the line about 10" cuz it's wayyyy too long and looks stupid.
Turbo coolant lines installed. 5/8" NPT thread is what my T3 super 60 has. I had gotten Banjo bolts in 3/8" NPT, but way too short. Couldn't find banjo in 5/8", so went this way instead. Goes to -6an lines.
Spacers for the coil pack. Allows the use of the other oil port under the coil. Going to run oil temp + pressure sensors from here. It'll be very easy to switch sensors as the sensors will be right along side the head.
Top view. Installed lower radiator support. Also bolted on the latch. It was a bitch to hack up and modify the underneath to allow my -6an power steering lines to clear.
Top view by radiator area. Had to remove fluidyne radiator to replace with another that is larger and uses -10an lines for the oil cooler. The -6an was too small for oil lines. Making my own brackets for this.

Fuel Pressure Regulator
Hello People, brought my 97 sts in for fuel rail replacement recall and while they were changing it the service manager came out and asked if I had a hard time starting it (long cranks). I told him it starts right up in the morning but if I run to the store and shut it off, it cranks for a while to start. He told me the fuel pressure regulator was loaded with gas and is causing the problem so I had him change it. The following morning I tried to start it and it took forever, 3 times longer then before when it was hot, although it starts right up when it is hot now. I brought the car back and told them I felt they put a defective regulator in because the fuel is draining back to the tank at night but they wouldn't except that. After a complete check over they told me the fuel pump was weak and it would be a 1000 dollars to repair. I am now showing a PO174 but the car runs good, but also seems to be worst on gas. Would a bad regulator cause the gas to drain back because that's all they changed with the fuel rail. I'm having a hard time with them telling me it is something new. I told them to give me the old regulator back but it was tossed. Any suggestions, Thanks.
Re: Fuel Pressure Regulator
When you start the car tomorrow AM, cold, turn the key ON and wait 5 seconds, then start it. How did that work ??
I'm looking for a fuel pump prime sequence...................open the gas cap. Stick your ear at the fill pipe and have an assistant turn the key ON (no start) - does the fuel pump prime for 2 - 3 seconds, then stop ?? Start the car - does the fuel pump begin running as soon as the key is turned to START?
Go to a local small shop and ask them to test the fuel pressure - the Schrader fitting with a plastic cap on the fuel rail - you should have above 35 psi key ON and 40 - 45 psi running.
IF the new FPR has a cut lower O-ring (improper install) it will allow fuel to depressurize overnight.
If the car ran fine with the old fuel rail and FPR (albeit hard hot starts) then the fuel pump DID NOT pack it in at the dealership.
Although dropping the fuel tank is a hell of a job (in your car), you can get an AIRTEX (DELPHI OEM) fuel pump module at www.rockauto.com for maybe $220, and that's the pump, filter screen level sensor, and tank pressure sensor - all in the one module. A local Mom&Pop shop can do that job. Of course, they will want their markup on parts..............

Re: Fuel Pressure Regulator
Thanks all, I have the pressure readings from the dealer, they say the pump at key on is 24lbs and at run is 37lbs. I know the 24 is low but I didn't have this problem when I brought it in, it ran fine and started right up in the morning. They also claim the regulator test was fine, it held the vacuum, but does the vacuum have anything to do with the fuel sneaking by the o-ring if they cut it? I also don't trust there numbers on the pump, I think they where trying to take me for a ride. I do all my own work on this thanks to you guys, I brought it to them because of the recall, I have a pretty good idea of how to fix things. I like the fuel slipping by the o-ring, that sounds very possible. I will listen for the pump tomorrow. Thanks again
Re: Fuel Pressure Regulator
The anti drain back check valve is in the pump assembly. Those fuel pressures are really low at key on and would likely cause a starting problem.
Re: Fuel Pressure Regulator
Thanks ranger, are you saying that the pressure regulator doesn't keep the gas from flowing back and why would that all happen because they changed the fuel lines and the regulator only. They might of told me that the pressure was low to sell me a pump, what I don't understand is why did it happen over night after they touched it. I feel if I had my old regulator back it would start right up in the morning.
Re: Fuel Pressure Regulator
The FPR DOES send fuel back to the tank when vacuum is supplied to it. There is no vacuum when the engine is shut down. If you doubt them, buy or rent a fuel pressure gauge and test it yourself. Very easy to do.
Follow Subs advice and have someone turn the key on while you put an ear to the open fuel filler pipe. You should hear the pump run for 2-3 seconds. That will tell you that the pump and the relay are working.
Re: Fuel Pressure Regulator
This should work:
I bought it on sale at a local retail HB store for $10, I think - never used it yet. It was so cheap, I just bought it to have on hand in case I ever needed it, like in your situation.

Brock Paver Base Panel Questions
Has anyone used the Brock Paver Base Panels as underlayment for a patio? How long has it been installed? Have you had any problems?
I am planning to install a 20' x 25' paver patio and it would be a huge savings if I don't have to dig and lay stone. I want to make sure the pavers don't upheave over time.
Thanks for your time.
Everything I have read about them, says that they are great for distributing loads placed above them to prevent deformation. I haven't really seen anything about how good they are for preventing heaving from underneath, due to soil movement. I think unless you can get some definitive answers from somebody in your area you would be better off doing it the traditional way. It will be a little more work, but probably a little cheaper (the paver base panels are not cheap) and you'd be sure of that in the long term it will be stable.
I have no specific experience with the Brock system. However, it's all about proper compaction. You simply can't over-compact the soil and the sand to achieve a better product. Another culprit to shifting and sagging is water. Any surface runs, high water table, nearby irrigation, plumbing leaks, etc. will contribute to erosion and eventual shift of your pavers.
Looks like a pretty good system.
Good Luck! :thumbsup:
Hi everyone...I've been looking at the Brock paver system. We're building a 200 sq ft patio and was hoping to hear from someone in the northern states. The panels are available at Lowes and I would think they would not sell them if they didn't work. I tried contacting the manufacturer but no response (yet). I would guesstimate a savings of about 15% over 4 inches of aggragate but at $13 a panel - a bit pricey. Also it does cut excavation time by about 50%. The videos I suspect are in the southern states where freezing is not an issue.
I have a question though. The patio will be freestanding (not against the house). Do I need the edging/border before I start digging? Most videos (which seems easier) have shown edging put in after the bricks are laid
Thanks for the responses
I didn't install the patio with these yet but all the videos and instructions say you need an edging/border that is staked down if not against a building etc so the pavers do not move over time.
a new product called Patio Pal
these are cool- anyone used them yet? plastic forms or grids used to hold 2 bricks. Then you make a whole patio with them. They have drainage holes. Amazon sell them, so does Ginnys.com with a coupon code. Each kit covers 20 sq feet. Then you buy the bricks seperate.
ooops the title didnt come up ..they are called

NORTHWOODS LEAGUE: Despite error-filled start, Lunkers wind up with win
The Brainerd Lakes Area Lunkers survived a rough early start and Garrett Anderson came out of the bullpen to pitch four shutout innings as the Lunkers defeated Rochester 10-5 Tuesday Night before 693 fans at Mills Field.
The Lunkers took two out three from the Honkers and improved their season record to 33-31.
Anderson came on in relief of starter John McLeod to get the win for the Lunkers while Jeff McKenzie took the loss.
'My approach was to go out there and throw strikes, and get ahead of the batters," said Anderson. "Coach Levendoski called me out a little bit after my last game. I was able to keep my emotions down and get to my balance point tonight and that helped out a lot."
Early in the game the Lunkers and Honkers played like two teams that are ready to head home for the summer. The teams combined for 12 errors for the game. The Lunkers committed four in the first two innings, but settled down after that.
In the first inning, a throwing error by Matt Hillsinger led to one earned run for Rochester. In the second inning, Wade Wass and Dan Olinger each had a throwing error as the Honkers scored two more runs to jump out to a 4-2 lead.
After trailing 2-0 in the bottom of the first inning, Brainerd scored two runs of their own. Vince Bruno scored Nick Hamilton with a broken bat single into left field. Casey Roche then drove home Bruno with a solid single into left field.
In the third, the Lunkers generated another scoring threat. Dan Olinger grounded a on- out double just inside of the first base bag and into the right field corner.
Vince Bruno then hit a ground ball to the shortstop with Olinger running on the hit. The Honkers had an easy play at third to get Olinger, but botched the tag and the Lunkers had runners on first and third. However, Bruno was thrown out on a steal attempt and Roche struck out to strand Olinger at third.
Trailing 4-3 in the bottom of the sixth inning, Tommy Reyes hit a fly ball to left center field that both of the Honkers fielder hesitated on. Wade Wass then hit a towering fly ball to deep left center field that was lost in the lights to score Reyes.
Reyes moved to third on a sacrifice bunt from Ryan Abrahamson, and came into score on a liner to left field by Tyler Wampler to give Brainerd a 5-4 lead. Matt Hillsinger bunted and a wild throw by the Honkers third baseman to score allowed Wampler to score all the way from first with Hillsinger moving to third. Hillsinger came into score on a hit from Nick Hamilton and the Lunkers had a 7-4 lead.
"The first couple of innings were rough with us giving them a couple of runs early with some errors," said head coach Ryan Levendoski. "Garrett did a nice job throwing strikes. It was a great effort by the guys to come back and continue to play hard."
Brainerd added three more insurance runs in the seventh, and Tyler Sparger closed out the Honkers in the last two innings.

Weatherhead students and alumni can access resources for international students on the Weatherhead intranet.
At Weatherhead, we take pride in our ability to attract a motivated set of professionals representing a wide array of countries, cultures, and ethnicities to our graduate degree programs. Over the past five years, our international students have come from over 25 countries, bringing with them an enriching variety of perspectives, experiences, and expectations reflecting the increasing interconnectedness of our world.
We also believe strongly in the value that an international educational experience has for our domestic students. Knowledge of a foreign language and comfort with cultural differences are two qualities that employers prize.
Careers for International Students
We work closely with International Student Services at Case Western Reserve University to proactively advise our international students on questions regarding immigration, work authorization, and employment. We take care of most authorization details so that students and employers benefit from a seamless process.
Opportunities While in School
Upon completing one academic year (i.e., two full semesters) at Weatherhead, international students on an F-1 visa are legally allowed to seek full- or part-time internship opportunities as part of their Curricular Practical Training (CPT). A prospective employer is only required to provide an offer letter to the student specifying the detailed terms of employment. It is the student's responsibility to have the CPT authorized by the university, a process that typically takes two business days.
Opportunities After Graduation
Upon graduation, international students are legally permitted to pursue up to 12 months of full-time employment in their field of education as part of their Optional Practical Training (OPT). Students typically contact U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to apply for their Employment Authorization Document (EAD) during the semester before graduation or shortly thereafter.
Recent Employers of International Students
Weatherhead graduates have recently been hired by the following companies:
- American Express
- American Greetings
- Bank of America
- Bayer
- Bioenterprise
- Cleveland Clinic
- Colgate-Palmolive Company
- Cliff's Natural Resources
- Dealer Tire
- Diebold
- Deloitte
- Eaton Corporation
- Emerson
- Goodyear Tire & Rubber
- Invacare Corporation
- Keycorp

And The Young Shall Lead Far Rock
Forest Hills point guard Nicole Sasu Twum had a perplexed look as she was bringing up the ball at Far Rockaway High School Monday.
Seahorses' freshman guard Schiniqua Anderson came to defender Twum as she brought the basketball upcourt. As Twum looked up, from the corner of her eye was another Anderson, and it wasn't her eyes playing tricks. Schinque Anderson came over and created a double team in the corner in which Twum could only get out of by the skin of her teeth. Twum breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
But when it came down to crunch time, the Seahorses needed a mix of young and old to stave off a late Forest Hills comeback. Freshman Quenise Holland scored 13 of her 30 points and senior center Sandy Jean Francois blocked six shots and grabbed 18 rebounds for a Far Rockaway 43-34 victory.
"Sandy is a force for us," Sabbah said. "She can do a lot of things for us defensively."
Far Rockaway improved their record to 5-3 and will play in a holiday tournament at Bedord Academy against Robeson and Washington Irving this week.
The old and new Seahorses are starting to get accustomed to one another on the court. But that's not the case with Holland and the Anderson twins.
They've known each other since they were students in the seventh grade at MS 180, which is now known as the Scholars Academy at MS 323.
The 14 year old Anderson twins are identical in hair, smile, movement and anything you can think of.
"We're enjoying this so far," Schinqua Anderson said smiling with a wide grin.
During gym classes at 180, the twins first grabbed the attention of Holland.
"They bumped me on the floor and I yelled at them. Then I came over to apologize and we've known each other since," Holland said.
The twins can talk all the time but Holland can be quiet off the floor but vocal on the floor. On the court, she is demonstrative and active. Holland picks up plenty of steals and is averaging 25 points per game.
But when it came to initially playing for the Seahorses this year, the Anderson twins wanted to play. Holland was a bit unsure.
"We formed a team at 180 and we knew that we were going to join here," Schinque Anderson, whose wears the #15 in honor of her favorite player New Jersey Nets forward Vince Carter, said.
After some persuasion from the Anderson twins, Holland thought differently. And a new partnership was created.
"I wasn't going to play in September," Quenise Holland, who attends Frederick Douglass Academy, which is located within the campus. "I had to concentrate on my grades."
"Then in October, I changed my mind," Holland said with a smile.

Since its inception, the Francis Coppola Diamond Collection has been an expansive
endeavor to create consistently high-quality wines that are pure expressions of
each varietal. We sought out vineyard sites across California, which would ensure
superior grapes year-after-year, and we employ precise winemaking techniques to
showcase the true character of our fruit. This enterprise has become a true labor of
love. We invite you to share it with us.
Francis puts it best, saying the winery is meant to be "a wine wonderland, a park of pleasure where people of all ages can enjoy all the best things in life – food, wine, music, dancing, games, swimming and performances of all types. A place to celebrate the love of life."

POEM: Just Another Homicide ~ 12/24/1995 by Loretta Rowley
Really love this poem it is shame to say this is what people really think about the homicides that happen everyday the media has made us inmmune to what is going on. We need to stop treating these crimes with such a non chanlant manner. It reminds me of the homicide rate in Philadelphia today.

East End Matters...
It seems that every time you open a newspaper these days there's an article about one of Rockaway's leading legislators – articles that are not flattering. One such legislator is Congressman Gregory Meeks of the 6th Congressional District and once one of the rising stars of the Democratic party.
In an article published in the Daily News on June 20 it was reported that Meeks had failed to disclose, in congressional finance reports, two personal loans he received in 2007. On July 8 the paper reported that the Congressman was being investigated by the FBI for one of the loans – a $40,000 personal loan he received from a Queens businessman and didn't repay until the federal agency began asking questions about it. In a statement Meeks said he didn't repay the loan until last month pointing to the lower interest rates available now. The option to repay a loan of the magnitude of $40,000 at a time when interest rates would best suit you is not something available to many people.
Meeks called the failure to disclose the loans an oversight, for which he took full responsibility. He disclosed the loans on his 2009 financial statement and amended his 2004 through 2008 statements.
Due to the Daily News reports, the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, on July 13, formally requested the Office of Congressional Ethics to investigate Meeks' conduct.
"It is unfortunate that Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington is now using distorted and sensationalized media reports as the basis for a complaint to the Office of Congressional Ethics," said Meeks in a press release.
Meeks' office did not respond to a request to pinpoint the parts of the reports he felt were "distorted and sensationalized."
This is not the first request for an investigation into the Congressman. On March 19, the National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC) formally asked the congressional Committee on Standards of Official Conduct to start an investigation. NLPC charges that Meeks used his office for personal gain including paying $830,000 to build his house in 2006, when it was worth more than $1.2 million. According to the NLPC, the builder has also done work for taxpayer funded projects funded by Meeks.
According to the NLPC complaint, "The real focus of any investigation should be why Meeks received such a lucrative deal and who was Meeks' beneficiary for the bargain mansion."
Meeks is also under investigation for his role in a non-profit organization called New Direction Local Development Corporation, which he founded with State Senator Malcolm Smith. Of specific interest is money the organization collected, under the name of New Yorkers Organized to Assist Hurricane Families (NOAH-F) for relief to families affected by Hurricane Katrina. According to NLPC, NOAH-F received $10,000 donated by Meeks' campaign. For some reason the campaign received $5,000 back. A total of approximately $30,000 was reported to have been raised. Only $1,392 was used to help victims of Katrina.
In addition, several organizations were to receive funding from New Direction, but the money never materialized. NLPC also reviewed tax returns and New York State Budget records that showed the majority of funds New Direction collects are unaccounted for.
In March, Meeks told a Wave reporter, "My role was working along with the community to create [New Direction and NOAH-F] and to provide transparency for the organizations," adding, "I didn't have anything to do with the money" when asked what happened to the unaccounted funds for New Direction and NOAH-F. In the same interview the Congressman said, "I insisted on separate bank accounts and separate banks just to keep the money separated, and I wanted it all to go where it was supposed to go."
Rockawayites need to keep all this in mind as election time approaches. For a minute let's look at the west end. Congressman Anthony Weiner is very visible there and held his last town hall meeting in February. When was the last time Meeks took a tour through the east end or held a town hall meeting so constituents could have a give and take on the various problems facing the area?
Over the years, Meeks has fought a lot of the good fights – including most recently health care reform. That's why these allegations and investigations are so troubling.
This will be one of the first years Meeks will be challenged for reelection. Investigations can take years. So it will be for the voters to decide if all the allegations against Meeks are enough to vote him out of office or keep him where he is.
Let's see… A politician is
As for the "good fights", they are genuinely tainted by the corruption Meeks represents. A public servant is supposed to do just that--serve the public--not line his own nest, skim from charities, go on junkets or peddle influence. America is rapidly descending into a kleptocracy, it's getting so bad that it seems a regular citizen wouldn't recognize an honest candidate if they were standing on his toes.
For the sake of the nation it is high past time that two party politics played second fiddle to getting the best into office. Those who know that it is not their money that they spend, but ours and that the people are not a bottomless moneypit to sponge from.

MICHELLE M. McCLIMAN| Associate Faculty, Business Law
Welcome to my faculty page. I am an Associate Professor teaching business law classes. In 2009, I taught Intellectual Property classes at Saddleback in the Business Department. I currently teach Business Law and the Legal Environment of Business.
I have been practicing law for almost 20 years with a primary emphasis on intellectual property, employment, business, and corporate matters. Most of my early career was in the litigation arena, but later on I developed a transactional side to my practice. Currently, I am the founding member of McCliman Law Firm, APC.
Since 2006, I have taught Intellectual Property, Contracts, and Civil Trials and Evidence in the Paralegal Studies program at Coastline Community College. I have also written several articles and speak often on the topics of Intellectual Property, Civil Trials and Evidence, Employment, and Contracts.
When I am not practicing law, I enjoy playing soccer, cycling, practicing pilates, and reading. I also enjoy blogging about legal issues of interest to me.

Cotto confirms June 7 date at MSG; hopefully against Martinez
Three division world champion Miguel Cotto told reporters in Puerto Rico that he will return on June 7 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Cotto is hoping to challenge WBC middleweight champion Sergio Martinez for his 160lb title. "Winning that title at 160lbs is the main feature for the fight," Cotto told reporters. "If my goal wasn't to win the fourth title, I would have agreed to fight Canelo. A fourth title is an attractive alternative for me." No Puerto Rican boxer has ever won titles in four separate weight divisions. Negotiations for Cotto-Martinez are in the preliminary stages, but both camps are interested in making the fight happen. As for Cotto-Canelo, Cotto stated that Canelo is only 23 years old and that fight is still possible.

How can you describe a "running behind/catching up" scene 3 times without using same words every time?
1 Answer | Add Yours
If you use a thesaurus, either online or in book form, it will help you to rephrase the same idea in different ways. For example, I went to Thesaurus.com and put in "late" (one word works better than a phrase) and some of the synonyms given were: , behindhand, behind time, belated, blown*, delayed, dilatory, eleventh-hour, gone, held up. The ones in blue then also link to other words with the same shade of meaning. those marked with an * are slang.
Other choices were: in a bind, in the lurch, jammed*, lagging, last-minute, missed the boat, out of luck, overdue, postponed, put off, remiss, slow, stayed, strapped*, tardy, too late. Hope some of these work for you!

text: After attending Thursday night's joint session of Congress requested by President Barack Obama, U.S. Senator Olympia J. Snowe issued the following statement. Senator Snowe said: "Tonight, the President opened the conversation our nation requires to address the most pressing crisis facing American families, and that is how to create jobs in our economy. While the President's engagement on this urgent matter is long overdue, finally Congress and the Administration can begin the process of working through specific proposals, reconciling the differences, and doing what is necessary to rejuvenate our nation's economic environment so we can get the more than 14 million unemployed Americans back to work. "For the past two years, I have urged this Congress and the Administration to put a laser-like focus on job creation. As the President discussed tonight, extending the payroll tax cut, providing incentives for employers to hire military veterans, and using existing Highway Trust funds for expedited road and bridge projects are all good proposals that will help foster job creation. However, I will strongly oppose any effort to pay for the President's initiatives by raising taxes on the job-creating small business owners that serve as the backbone of our economy. Raising taxes in this environment will quash any hope of beginning the kind of jobs recovery our economy so desperately needs. Instead, the key to emerging from this unemployment crisis is for Republicans and Democrats to work together to create an environment conducive to unleashing private sector investment, a willingness to take risks and hire new workers. "At the root of this crisis is the stark lack of a climate conducive to job creation. In Maine, I have convened business roundtables, met with small business owners, held Main Street tours and talked with people from all walks of life. Without exception, potential job creators are yearning for predictability, consistency and permanence in the policies emanating from government. Too many onerous regulations, too few incentives, and a tax code too complex are all suppressing the entrepreneurial spirit intrinsic to our nation.  "The boldest jobs agenda that will undoubtedly help our economy recover will consist of creating a climate ripe for productivity, higher employment, and individual prosperity. Washington must embark on meaningful regulatory reform. Small businesses, simply by the nature of their size, currently face an annual regulatory cost of $10,585 per employee and shoulder a regulatory compliance cost more than 30 percent higher than larger firms. Leveling that field for small business could save an average $32,000 for a 10-person firm which is enough to hire one additional person. Across our economy, that would open opportunities for millions of people. "Another national stumbling block for our economy is the U.S. tax code. Its complexity and anti-competitive nature distorts business decisions, creates uncertainty among potential employers, and impedes job creation and economic growth. Over the past two years, the Senate Finance Committee has held a great number of hearings dealing specifically with tax reform, so we have more than enough guidance on how this can be undertaken. Moving forward expeditiously on comprehensive tax reform that is fair, simplified, pro-growth, and encourages savings and investment will send a solid signal to our nation that we are open for business. "And the failure of our government to enforce current trade law and call China to account for its currency manipulation undercuts true competition and undermines American businesses. The President's calls for new trade agreements must be preceded by strict enforcement of existing trade agreements, otherwise we face a recipe for disaster and higher unemployment in the United States. The President said we must make sure our trading partners play by the rules and that is something I firmly advocate – including urging the Commerce Department to investigate China for currency manipulation. Recent reports indicate enforcing fair trade provisions when it comes to some of these violations would support the creation of more than two million U.S. jobs and reduce the deficit by more than $70 billion a year. "We face historic challenges, but without question we are still the greatest nation on Earth and will succeed in overcoming this crisis if we work together in both the short-term and lay a solid foundation for our future. Like the President and my colleagues, I share a positive vision rife with ideas, initiatives and investments to position our nation to lead the world. Greater emphasis must be placed on educating our young people in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. We must establish and pursue specific energy policies that meet the demands of today and shift us toward what is clean and efficient for tomorrow. Besides rebuilding critical road and bridge infrastructure, our nation must continue investing in the broadband backbone vital to harnessing the power of the information age. True leadership requires the vision to address challenges before they become they crises, and it is long past time Congress and the President get to work and embark on a substantial agenda that will result in job creation.â€
