CMMG is basically DPMS. They claim they're not, but they are. They're still using DPMS sourced components.
I have used RRA components in several builds and they're good quality.

DO NOT BUY composite/polymer lowers. They're junk. They WILL break. I've posted photos on this forum numerous times. Frontier is a common offender. They can't handle the stresses of the AR15 design and it's been proven over and over. I've actually had my hands on several broken polymer/composite lowers. ****ING JUNK.
Please don't every buy them. Anyone. Everyone here deserves better.

A lowers a lower... not to many out of spec lowers floating around today and even the cheapest of lowers will perform just as well as a more expensive model if its in spec.
However, I would avoid any of the "local brands" no clue how good they are and you have to think that the hand full of people who recomend them are probably buying them because there the dirt cheapest and they have no real experiance with the platform or the financial backing to shoot one until it fails. They may be the best thing out there...there probably not. I know of one local machine shop producing 10 rifles a week. Right now there 75+ rifles backordered and they are selling for $850 IIRC for a complete rifle. I've got a friend whos drinking there coolaid but I'm not going to waste any money preordering what's probably junk just yet.
I'd stick with a established brand RRA, Bushmaster, DPMS.... ect ect ect... There all gona be about the same when it comes to lowers.
The key is making sure it's in spec, which not all companies do well.
Top level companies use higher grade components that are more durable and reliable.

Hobby grade, maybe enough for some moderate use and abuse. If you want a range gun, it's probably an acceptable purchase. Not my cup of tea, but you have to ask yourself how picky you can afford to be at this time.

Eve Haslam and Satin Steel Jazz to Perform August 24th at Classic Wineseller
Waynesville, NC - The Classic Wineseller presents "In Close" with Eve Haslam & Satin Steel Jazz on Saturday, August 24, 2013 at 7:00pm, 20 Church Street in Waynesville. Ms. Haslam will be joined by Brian Felix, piano and Zack Page, bass. The evening's music will consist of Bossa Nova, original compositions, and jazz classics.
Tickets for the evening are $39.99 per person plus tax and gratuity, and include a delicious four course dinner from the Wineseller's kitchen. Call 828-452-6000 to reserve your table or email requests email@example.com. Seating is limited.
New York born and bred, Eve Haslam is the visionary for the Satin Steel Jazz Ensemble which released its first CD, "A Thousand Years Ago" this year. From early childhood, Ms. Haslam was the vocalist for her Juilliard-grad composer dad, Herb Haslam. After high school, Ms. Haslam studied under the late European opera coach, James Partridge. Today, her vocal styles are influenced by Sarah Vaughan, Diane Schuur, Anita O'Day, Elis Regina, Gal Costa, Flora Purim, Nancy Wilson, and Keely Smith.
Haslam has been profiled in Rapid River Art Magazine, VERVE, WNC Woman, and The Mountaineer, and is an integral part of the live Jazz scene in western North Carolina. She resides in Waynesville.
Brian Felix was born in New Jersey and began studying piano at the age of five. His early grounding was in classical music, but by his early teens his interest moved to jazz, rock and other improvisational keyboard styles. He became serious about the study of jazz music at Rutgers University where he earned a BA in Music. Felix subsequently earned a Masters degree at DePaul University, and in 2010, graduated from the University of Illinois with the Doctor of Musical Arts degree. In 2011, Felix moved to Asheville, NC, where he is a Professor of Jazz and Popular Music at the University of North Carolina-Asheville.
Originally from the Washington DC area, Zack Page has toured the world appearing in Asia, the Far East, the Montreaux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, and in all 50 states. Page has played with artists such as Billy Higgins, Eddie Daniels, and Babik Reinhardt (son of Django Reinhardt). He is a regular on the jazz scene in western North Carolina, performing with a variety of groups including the hot gypsy jazz group, One Leg Up, The Page Brothers Quartet, The Archrivals, The Hard Bop Explosion, Alien Music Club, Wendy Hayes, Crybaby, and Russ Wilson.He now makes his home in Asheville with his wife and two young children.
The Classic Wineseller presents the area's best jazz artists up close and personal in a unique, intimate setting.

Maybe I am wrong...I hope I am wrong...but it doesn't seem like the Orioles year.
Last night, the Orioles get 15 hits, but only 3 runs and lose.
Tonight, the Rays get 15 hits, and 7 runs, and are on their way to their 8th win out of their last nine games.
The Orioles look like a team just playing out the string now. I believe they are under .500 for the all-star break and are in danger of dropping into 4th place.
Prove me wrong Orioles...but they look like a beaten team.

Classic B & B Ticks every box
Nice cosy B & B 's is something we do very well in Britain, and the Carlton as good an example as any you will find.
It's on what can only be called B&B Avenue on the western side of the town centre. You parking across the road in an off road parking area shared by the many B & B on this road. As a single traveller staying one night an otherwise small room served just fine, its not ensuite but you have your own bathroom along the corridor. Comfortable clean furnishings, wall mounted TV, and a top notch breakfast that will set you for the day. all for a reasonable price probably at least half the cost of a night in one of the many nearby city centre hotels.

James Vaughan Reading
Susan Lee St. John relaxes before the reading.
James Vaughan Winner Reading Held April 23
A small group of faculty and students sat in a semi-circle to enjoy Susan Lee St. John reading her poetry and prose pieces on Monday, April 23, in Warmer Auditorium from 2:00 to 2:55pm. Among the poems that she read was the poem that won her HPU's James Vaughan prize of $250.00 this year. The poem is called "Medusa's Child" and was written as part of a writing assignment in a workshop, in which she had to write about an illness. The subject of the poem is a young girl who has a disease in which muscle tissue turns into bone. The poem is beautiful in its tone and imagery, and is very poignant. Other poems St. John read were about her daughter's long toes—quite amusing as well as a loving tribute to them—and Enchanted Lake, where St. John lives. Everyone there appreciated and praised the author's writing. We will have next year's reading for the new winner in the Spring of 2013, possibly earlier in the semester.
Student Reading
Student Reading Represents Varying Themes, Styles
About 15 HPU students read from their own creative works in LB Mezz 1 on April 4 from 2-2:55pm. Some read short stories while the majority read or performed their poetry. Subjects ranged from anorexia and bulimia to dreams to environmental pollution to Rodin's sculpture of St. John the Baptist.. In one poem the speaker is the Earth itself who was addressing human to take part in her vital breath. Another is a series of journal entries by someone who is seeing a psychiatrist. There were two readings of stories written as responses to established literary works: Charlotte Perkins Gilman's short story "The Yellow Wallpaper" and Kate Chopin's "The Story of an Hour." In addition, one student wrote a poem in response to Anthony Hecht's poem "The Dover Bitch," which is in itself a humorous parody of Matthew Arnold's very serious poem "Dover Beach." All in all, everyone could see that we have no shortage of creative talent here at HPU. If you did not make it to this reading, there is one every semester, so look out for the one in the Fall.

Majors Meeting
English majors and faculty defy classroom hierarchy by meeting in one large circle in Warmer Auditorium.
About 40 English majors, faculty, and other students came and went during a 2-hour meeting period on Wednesday, March 21, to become either acquainted or more acquainted with each other and English Department course offerings, not only for now but for the future as well. Many of the majors who attended are new, but some "old-timers" were also there to discuss the major, and the English, Film Studies, and Writing minors, all of which are offered by the English Department. There were free pizza and fliers with information about courses that will be given in Summer and Fall 2012, including the many interesting ENG 2000-level courses which meet certain General Education requirements. Those of you who could not make it to the meeting should contact Department Chair Laurie Leach (email@example.com)to update yourself on what is happening in the English Department, which is always buzzing with good news. For instance, you might want to pick up a handout that will help you map out what courses you want to take to complete your major, or look into the upper division courses that are going be offered.
Faculty Reading
Faculty Readers Andrew Godefroy, Eve Youngdale, and Tyler McMahon.
On Wednesday, March 14, fifty persons attended the English Department Faculty Reading, featuring Tyler McMahon, Eve Youngdale, and Andrew Godefroy. Mr. McMahon red from his current novel published by St. Martin's Press this year, titled HOW THE MISTAKES WERE MADE. The story is about a woman who was famous during the beginning of the grunge era of music in Seattle in the 80s. She works with a new musical group in the 90s called the Mistakes—and she makes some understandable mistakes of her own. Eve Youngdale read from her poetry thesis for her MA at UH. Some of them were about her family environment and about nature. Andrew Godefroy read from a poignant short story about a father and daughter who had just lost their wife/mother in a car accident. All three readers teach in the English Department, Mr. McMahon teaches full-time and the other two are valuable members of our adjunct faculty. Everyone enjoyed the reading, and we are all looking forward to the next Faculty Reading in the Fall.

Fall 2011 Recap
Fall 2011 began with the Hawaii Pacific Review release party celebrating 25 years of publishing the magazine. The English department hosted a book swap on September 30 to encourage reading for pleasure, and some of the donated books were made available in Sharky's Cove for students' reading enjoyment all semester long. Hosting literary readings is one thing we are known for. Patrice Wilson, Adele Ne Jame and Deborah Ross shared their poetry and prose on October 12 and students presented their work on November 15. Both Adele Nejame and Tyler Mchmahon published new books in the second half of 2011 and participated in several public readings. HPU also hosted a reading by four Renshi poets in our Local Writers Reading Series at the Paul and Vi Loo theatre. Many English majors and faculty also visted the theatre in November to attend the play House of Blue Leaves. Mark Tjarks' play Caliban and the First Tourist Luau was presented by Da Kine Readers Theatre. To read more about these events visit our Fall 2011 news page.

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › lightest tent with these 5 features?
Nov 20, 2006 at 1:15 am #1220315
I am hoping one of the BPL members can help me find my next purchase. It is the lightest tent with these minimum features:
1. free standing
2. footprint/fly option (ie. no tent body, the poles hook to the footprint and support the fly.
3. 'peak'-vent(s) at top of fly
4. vestibule(s)
5. "two person" tent
That's all! Sounds easy, right? Well my Sierra Designs Lightning has no fly vents so it is a sauna, my REI QuarterDome has no footprint/fly option, and my TNF Talus23 is over 3KGs! I want to replace all three with ONE tent. Help please.
After extensive research online the lightest tent I can find meeting #1-5 is the REI HalfDome 2HC. 5lbs full up, probably about 3.5lbs in the footprint/fly configuration.
A single-wall tent with optional vestibule would work as well (such as the Black Diamond FirstLight with optional vestibule at 4.4lbs, or lighter with carbon poles)
So I will buy one of these in the next couple days unless I can find a lighter solution.
Thanks in advance!Nov 20, 2006 at 1:58 am #1367695

@dealtoyoLocale: Mt Hood
If you are willing to consider a single wall tent not made of Epic, then you might want to consider:
North Face Spectrum 23
Mountain Hardwear Airjet 2
MSR Fling.
In the double wall catagory:
North Face Tadepole 23 (top of the fly door can be unzipped partially to create a vent)
Big Agnes Sarvis SL2 (hybid tent, half double wall, half single wall)Nov 20, 2006 at 2:50 am #1367700
paul johnsonMember
@pjLocale: LazyBoy in my Den - miss the forest
you mentioned diff. types of shelters. some were 3-season dbl-wall types, and the BD was a single wall, (light-duty???) 4-season capable shelter.
since you mentioned some 3-season options:
re: req'mnt #2 – footprint/fly option – is that just for weight savings?
if so, then what about the HS Double-Rainbow. sure, it doesn't give you the footprint/fly option, but it might be lighter (if that is your sole reason for this req'mnt) than anything else that you might come up with that truly meets all five of your req'mnts.
just a thought.Nov 21, 2006 at 12:34 am #1367816
Duane, PJ, thank you both for those educated suggestions. I did not realize the Spectrum23 was freestanding, and that the Double Rainbow can be, with the addition of two poles of the appropriate length. I will research these options fully before deciding. Thanks again.Nov 21, 2006 at 1:06 am #1367820

> 1. free standing
If there is any bad weather around, you will put in guys and stakes. So you have to carry them. So why not use them all the time?????
I just do NOT understand the preoccupation with 'free standing'. Every free-standing tent I have seen has been a horrible compromise.
> 2. footprint/fly option (ie. no tent body, the poles hook to the footprint and support the fly.
While I don't do this, why not just use a large tarp for this sort of situation?
> 3. 'peak'-vent(s) at top of fly
> 4. vestibule(s)
For bad weather, an absolute must.
Yeah, I'm biased.Nov 21, 2006 at 12:13 pm #1367868
Hi Brett,
I wanted a tent with the same specs as you. The only one is the Kelty Ridge 2. Compared to the Hubba Hubba it is lighter, has larger vestibules, and has the all-important high-level vent.
I haven't field tested this tent yet. My backyard impressions are that it is small for two people, and that there is a strong smell from the polyurethane coating which I am hoping will diminish. All PU coatings have a smell, but curiously all tents seem to have a bit different odour. Very unpleasant. Maybe they use different fire retardants?
Anyway, it seems like a well constructed tent. The only design flaw seems to be at the ends of tent where there are no stakeout loops so the fly material just hangs down loosely.Nov 21, 2006 at 12:29 pm #1367871

@bearpawLocale: Southeast
The MSR Hubba Hubba weighs around four pounds now, if you leave the stuff sacks at home. The option for a footprint/fly only setup is there as well. It may not be the lightest option out there, but it is extremely easy to set up.Nov 21, 2006 at 1:33 pm #1367879

>there is a bit of an odd smell from the polyurethane coating which I am hoping will diminish
I keep my PU tents fluffed up in a box rather than tightly packed in their stuff bag. It reduces the smell significantly if they are allowed to 'breathe'.Nov 21, 2006 at 7:41 pm #1367923
Thanks Doug, will try.Nov 21, 2006 at 8:39 pm #1367933

@lamaniteLocale: Pacific NW
I've always preferred freestanding. Where is the horrible compromise with a freestanding tent? Here are some reasons I prefer it:
-I rarely need to setup guylines (with my 5-year old this is a big plus) unless there is really bad weather
-They are easy to move if you suddenly decide you don't like the spot you originally chose (or if a better campsite next to you becomes available)
-They are even easier to clean out and dry out
-You don't have to haggle with getting the pitch taut (especially nice in the dark)
-When your guylines get tripped on or start sagging because the ground is soft you don't have a tent falling down on you in the middle of the night.
I guess it's just a matter of preference.Nov 21, 2006 at 10:06 pm #1367944
Richard, would you please tell me if the Kelty Ridge can be set up in a footprint/fly only option? REIs page does not say so, and nor does the Kelty website. They say to check the .pdf instructions, which do not mention it either. Kelty says any tent with "flyboy" and "webforce" can use this option. I see the footprint DOES have clips and grommets; that seems to be what is necessary to accomodate the poles and fly clips.
This Ridge 2 really does seem to meet ALL my requirements at 3lbs 12oz; more than a pound lighter than the REI HalfDome2HC I was considering.
Thanks to everyone who helped me; I researched each suggestion from our fellow posters, and so far the Kelty is the lightest choice. Each of the others met 4/5 requirements, for example the excellent and popular Hubba Hubba has no top vent..
I have one more option, which is to modify my 3lb 11oz QuarterDome components to permit a footprint/fly option.
Got to decide quickly as the REI sale ends on the 27th!Nov 21, 2006 at 10:17 pm #1367947
Den, well said. Of course this is BP-LIGHT, and tarps rule the weight category, but I'll carry the weight of a free standing tent and use UL technology to save a pound or two elsewhere.
One more feature of freestanding tents I like is watching a total newbie who's never slept in a tent set up one of mine in about 2 minutes; it is a real confidence booster for them. I know that sounds silly to experienced outdoorspeople; but something clicks and they realize if they can do this maybe they can learn to read a compass, start a fire, etc..Nov 22, 2006 at 1:31 am #1367963

Hi Den
I think your camping environment may be somewhat different from mine.
> I rarely need to setup guylines unless there is really bad weather
We have to allow for bad weather every night: it can turn up in half an hour, over the range. I got hailed on one evening after a very hot day.
> They are easy to move if you suddenly decide you don't like the spot you originally chose
Nice theory, but I have rarely if ever needed this feature. Um – often there is only one place for a tent where I am anyhow!
> They are even easier to clean out and dry out
I sweep my tunnel tent out each morning with my hat, and when I get home I hang it up to clean and dry. No worries.
> You don't have to haggle with getting the pitch taut (especially nice in the dark)
Never been a problem with my tunnel tent, in the bush or in the snow. It's really very easy to pitch. Some other designs may be more difficult: I agree there.
> When your guylines get tripped on or start sagging because the ground is soft you don't have a tent falling down on you in the middle of the night.
We don't trip on our own guys (much), and we don't camp anywhere near other people. We rarely see other people. Not a problem unless it rains in the snow – then the anchors can melt holes, as the whole tent slowly sinks towards the soil …
Soft ground? Ha! I carry those Ti wire pegs and hope to get them in!
But of course, it IS just a matter of preference – and needs.Nov 23, 2006 at 12:09 am #1368145

Sierra Designs Hyperlight — the one for 2 people, not the one for 3.
Free-standing and good size vestibule.
Can pitch fly/footprint w/o inner tent.
No vent in fly, but inner tent has a lot of mesh w/good clearance between it and the fly.
May be able to get weight to a little less than 5 lbs — but it's for sure way far below the 3KG+ of TNF Talus23.
Roomy interior with good headroom. Promo photos of this tent sometimes show two people sleeping head to foot with each other. That's not the best use of space in this tent. Lots more convenience and rooom if both people have their feet toward to closed end of the tent and their heads toward the door and vestibule. This gives space between their bodies that widens out as it approaches the front of the tent.
The Hyperlight has unusual appearance and footprint, but it's exceptional in creating usable space, ventilation, and stability. Easy to pitch, too.
My wife and I spent comfortable nights in our Hyperlight during the fall a few years ago at Enchantment Lakes. Winds blew across the tent like a freight train, but it stayed snug and tight throughout.
Not my shelter choice if main goal is cutting base pack weight as much as possible, especially if hiking alone or where weather is sure to be nice. But if comfort is paramount and windy rainy weather is likely, a Hyperlight would be my choice.

Brett, you're right about the lack of info here. If you look at a good photo of the Ridge 2 Footprint, there are clearly grommet seats for the poles, and buckles for the fly. So it sure looks fine to me for a fly-only setup. If you wanted to be absolutely sure you could call the Kelty support line or email them.
The SD Hyperlight and MSR HubbaHubba are great tents, but I would probably never buy another tent without high level venting. It's a mystery to me why TNF, Kelty, and REI provide vents, but SD, MSR, and Big Agnes don't.
If you purchase from REI you can always return hassle free…Nov 27, 2006 at 6:05 am #1368469
Thanks everyone; I decided to modify my quarterdome2HC to accept a footprint. This modification makes it meet all my criteria at 3lbs 11oz.
I have to make certain consessions to comfort for those I tent with, so I also ordered the halfdome2HC for $130; but at 5lbs minimum weight, it's for short hikes to a "campground".

Are you happy or sad about Osama Bin Laden's death? Do you think this was victory or just one of the many battles we have to fight to keep the USA safe? Do you think this serves as justice for 9/11? Do you think death is better than life in prison?
Or, do you have mixed feelings, wishing this was the end of terrorism, but know it's not?

The Complete Guide to Making Money Online HTML version
How to get 2 cent clicks from Google
So when I have found what my visitors are worth to me I then find relevant
keywords to my site and bid at least 10% under what I earn from each
visitor. Although creating text links with that low of a bid won't bring you
too much traffic. A really cool tactic to get you cheap relevant clicks from
Google is through the creating of image or banner ads because there is far
less competition in that area. When creating an image ad you can use the
display ad builder as to create an image ad you will need a high quality
picture. Create the image ad in a descriptive manner and if you are linking
directly to a product then you may wish to give the price as this will boost
the conversion rate while dropping the click through rate. You can also use
this technique to directly link to one of your affiliate programs. The best way
to do that is to create another descriptive ad with the price of the product you
are promoting. You will need to track your conversion rate very closely as
this technique can be costly if the product isn't making enough sales for the
cost of sending visitors. Once you know that the affiliate link is working for
you and you are making a profit you can create more ads and make more of
a profit.
Monetize (make money)
So you can build a site and get traffic to that site but it's all worth nothing if
you can't make money from those visitors. I will run through the best
affiliate programs and how you can promote those programs.
Affiliate programs I recommend
WORLDWIDE BRANDS is my favorite affiliate program with two tiers and
$75 every time you sign someone up. Worldwide Brands provides one of the
best products online, they will teach anybody how to find products from
their 8 million product database and how to get accounts with these products
GOOGLE ADSENSE Adsense is a great way to monetize your website.
Techniquely it's not an affiliate program. The way it works is that Google
will crawl your website and will place relevant links to other sites in a
position of your choice. You get paid for every click but only around $0.30

#1 Consumer Comment
I am not a competitor but an actual customer
SUBMITTED: Thursday, September 26, 2013POSTED: Thursday, September 26, 2013
I contacted Home Team Movers about a quote for my move from Alabama to Arizona. I was quoted a price of 1600.00 total and so I thought there was no way I could rent a Uhaul and do the move myself for that price. What a MISTAKE. I was told by AJ, one of the customer service agents that my move would be way less expensive if Home Team Movers did it so I agreed, afterall, who wouldn't for the price quoted. I was told that my move would be divided in to 3 payments. A deposit of 600.00, second payment for 430.00 when movers arrived and then third payment of around 800.00 when movers delivered my belongings to Arizona, all this included free storage as well. For starters, Home Team Movers DO NOT move you, they contact a carrier with a different company. What Home Team Movers quotes is no way close to what the carrier company price is. The total for my move will be close to 3000.00 after I pay 1801.00 for the third payment once my stuff is delivered. I was charged 400.00 for packing material when Ihad packed, boxed and wrapped my own stuff. The first carrier company scheduled did not have room on their truck on the day of my scheduled move so another carrier company had to be located and scheduled a day later. The only way I knew this was when I was waiting for the movers to show up on the day of the scheduled move and no one showed up, no one called. I had to call Home Team Movers towards the end of the day only to be told the situation with the carrier. Then the fraudlant quote. This whole move has been a disaster. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH HOME TEAM MOVERS of Ft. Lauderdale, FL.

I have spent my life suffering from porch envy. Even as a child I dreamed of lazily swaying back and forth in a porch swing while my banana Creamie dripped down my arms. Over the years, I'm sad to say, it's only gotten worse. Now I dream of a glorious wrap around porch with inviting seating, twinkle lights, and hanging baskets of beautiful flowers. And of course there's a porch swing too.
This is my front porch. Neither glorious nor inviting.
For years I've wanted to do something to it. Anything. But I've always struggled coming up with any solution so I give up on it. I think it's hard because it's deep and narrow. Not ideal for an amazing porch. Not ideal for even an ok porch.
But I did my best and this is what I came up with. Also, I didn't have a "porch makeover" budget so I could only use stuff I already had. Anybody else do things like that? I'm very happy with how it turned out. It has added a bit of life to my sad little porch.
I rounded up some plants I had in my house and a wicker chair.
More plants.
Remember when I made these trays? You can check out the tutorial here.
Here is the wreath I made for the door. I rather like it. Remember the million dollar lamp shades Alison and I made? Well I used the same technique to make this wreath. If you need a reminder click here.
I took a grapevine wreath that's just been collecting dust in the basement and wrapped it with strips of fabric.
The fabric is actually an old sheet I've been hanging onto for awhile. After it was wrapped I cut out squares and started gluing them on using hot glue.
Now you may be wondering where the yellow comes into play. Are you ready for this? I spray painted it! Once I covered the wreath I lightly spray painted it until the yellow was to my liking. Then glued on a few flowers to finish it off. Doesn't it look fantastic?!
It's still no wrap around and there's no porch swing, but I think it's a huge improvement.
Until next time. Happy friday everyone!

The Role of Couple Discrepancies in Cognitive and Behavioral Egalitarianism in Marital Quality
Although gender ideologies and perceptions of equity in the division of household tasks have been associated with marital quality, there is limited understanding of the relationship between discrepancies (in husbands' and wives' subjective ideals and accounts of the division of labor) and relationship quality. We examined cognitive egalitarianism (beliefs about gender roles), behavioral egalitarianism (perceptions of the division of household tasks and management), and marital quality among 220 heterosexual, newlywed couples (N = 440) living in east and central regions of the United States. We used multi-level modeling to examine associations between cognitive egalitarianism, behavioral egalitarianism, and marital quality with a specific focus on discrepancies in the reports of husbands and wives. As hypothesized, both husbands and wives had lower marital quality when their cognitive egalitarianism was discrepant from their partner, and such a discrepancy had a greater influence on wives' reports of marital quality, especially for wives with higher cognitive egalitarianism. Although we expected similar results for the associations between behavioral egalitarianism and marital quality, we found that the strength of the association between wives' behavioral egalitarianism and marital quality decreased as the discrepancy from their husbands' behavioral egalitarianism increased. The association between cognitive egalitarianism and marital quality also increased as behavioral egalitarianism increased for wives but not for husbands. The results of this study illustrate the central role of spousal discrepancy in perceptions and enactment of household labor.

Graham Greene's Travels with My Aunt is a whimsical and episodic novel, packed with references intended to delight his regular readers. Henry Pulling, a retired bank manager with a fondness for growing dahlias, meets his Aunt Augusta at a funeral and becomes her pet project. She drags him away from suburbia — and into a picaresque adventure that takes him to Istanbul on the Orient Express and later to Paraguay.
Giles Havergal's 1989 adaptation of Greene's novel is camp and light. Four actors play a host of characters. They share the role of Henry, whose increasing exuberance is enjoyably conveyed. There are solid presences besides him and his aunt: among them her honking Sierra Leonean lover Wordsworth. But it's the minor figures that give most pleasure: crooks, eccentrics, spies and a simpering teenage hippie.
Christopher Luscombe's revival is cheekily vivacious. It also boasts a neat design by Colin Falconer. The set is split between a railway platform, waiting room and lost property office; an illuminated board shows arrivals and departures. The result suggests the dusty enchantment of travel — a romantic risk that is at the same time a vanishing act.
The cast is strong. David Bamber bristles with an energy that seems oddly innocent; he is especially good when playing adolescent girls. Iain Mitchell has a more sonorous quality (he overdoes it a bit as Wordsworth), while Gregory Gudgeon introduces deft touches to an array of small parts that range from palm-reader to Irish wolfhound. Jonathan Hyde is perhaps the most conspicuously versatile of the four, even if his grand Aunt Augusta sometimes sounds like Dame Edna Everage.
Much of Travels with My Aunt is clever and funny. Yet when the plot becomes complex, the laughs dry up. Meandering is an inevitable part of this kind of story, but some of the meandering feels effortful. What's more, the production doesn't quite decide between minimalism and lavishness — and left me wondering whether Havergal's take on Greene's novel might not be better suited to a smaller fringe theatre and a truly stripped-back interpretation.

Rising prices mean less beef for your buck
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The highest beef prices since 1987 are hitting the pocketbooks of home cooks and restaurant owners.
A dwindling number of cattle and growing export demand have tightened the supply and caused the average retail cost of fresh beef to climb to $5.28 a pound in February - 24 cents higher than January.
Prices likely will stay high for a couple of years as cattle producers start to rebuild their herds. Those in the in the Southwest and Midwest will need enough rain to replenish parched pastures.
Some shoppers are turning to chicken or pork, though those prices are on the rise as well.
Some independent restaurants have hiked their menu prices or switched to smaller steaks. An economics professor says chain restaurants combat the price spike by buying in bulk.
"Beef prices have been escalating, probably a good average would be between 10 (percent) and 20 percent over last year," said Rob Smith with the Broadmoor Hotel.
Smith is a beverage and food buyer for the hotel. He said storms that hit the Midwest earlier this year killed thousands of cattle and also contributed to the rise in beef prices.
"It boils down to supply and demand. The supply chain has really, really lightened up," said Smith.
He said prices will stay high through the summer as people fire up their grills. He said there will be a temporary drop in prices this fall, and then an increase again during the holidays.
Evelyn Steel owns Nourish Organic Juice in downtown Colorado Springs. Her juice and smoothie bar doesn't sell any dishes with beef, but she says weather has also had an effect on her bottom line.
She orders produce from California when it's out-of-season in Colorado. She said the drought in California has driven up prices for produce. She hasn't raised her prices for her customers, so it effects her revenue.
"You know, we just kind of eat it for now. If it was something that was going to go on for a long period of time, I think it would be different and I would definitely have to re-think it," said Steel. "I think and I'm hoping it's just this year."

These no bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Pinwheels are easy with only 3 ingredients! They are made up of two layers of fudge, rolled together into a pinwheel shape!
So, in October and November, I was all like, "I'm going to make more Real Food recipes — recipes that everyone needs in their day to day lives. Easy weeknight dinners, healthier comfort food, that sort of thing."
But December rolls around and all I want to do is bake. I go to bed and have visions of chocolate and peanut butter and mint and white chocolate and cranberry and caramel and nuts, Mint Chocolate No Bake Cookies and Cranberry Chocolate Chunk Blondies and Cranberry Cake and pies (okay, not pies) and fudge and candies and Grandma's Candy Popcorn….
And so, forgive me while I act completely irresponsibly this month. 'Tis the season!
But I figure I've got a good number of those easy, healthier dinners in the archives for you so this is okay? I trust you'll forgive me.
These Chocolate Peanut Butter Pinwheels came from an old Taste of Home magazine (yes, I've been getting a lot of my inspiration there lately!), but when I read the recipe it just didn't make sense to me. The measurements just didn't seem right. So I improvised, as one does, and am totally happy with the results!
My favorite part about this recipe is the flexibility! You can use any kind of chips — dark chocolate, white chocolate, butterscotch, etc., and mix and match flavors or add extracts like mint or orange to make something totally unique. Plus, they're easy! And perfect for those holiday baking trays 🙂
See how easy they are to make! Don't forget to subscribe on YouTube 🙂
- 1½ cups peanut butter chips
- 1½ cups chocolate chips
- 1 (14oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- Line a 15x10" baking sheet with tin foil and spray with non stick spray. Set aside.
- In a medium, microwave safe bowl, combine peanut butter chips and half the can of sweetened condensed milk. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, stir. If not completely smooth, microwave again for 15 seconds, and stir until smooth. Mixture will be thick like fudge.
- Spread into prepared pan, using your hands to smooth it out if you have to (it's not sticky, so it will spread easily!).
- In another medium, microwave safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and the rest of the sweetened condensed milk. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, stir. If not completely smooth, microwave again for 15 seconds, and stir until smooth. Mixture will be thick like fudge.
- Spread on top of the peanut butter mixture carefully.
- Let stand at room temperature for 15-20 minutes. Starting at the long side, roll up carefully and tightly, making sure to leave the foil behind. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 2 hours before slicing.
- Store in an air tight container for up to 3 weeks.
More chocolate and peanut butter love!

Where are all the AMD AM3 motherboard reviews?
Posted on 7th Apr 2009 at 10:22 by Richard Swinburne with 17 comments
We have been working on no less than three 'new' AMD motherboards since we completed our Socket AM3 processor review at the start of February, but the problems have been continual, and no manufacturer has been left unmarked by the spattering of not quite there yet.
Normally we'd just go ahead with a review since the products are all ready on sale, but with each one we want to get to the bottom of their wierdness before we post a review. Also, we'd usually keep the inevitable debugging process sort of thing between ourselves and the parties involved but as it stands we don't know when we'll be able to get you a full review so we thought at least we'd keep you updated on our already delayed progress.

SANTA CRUZ >> A 70-year-old transient was arrested Tuesday morning in connection with a chemical attack on the local office of the Social Security Administration.
Santa Cruz police arrested Joseph Anton Loris near the intersection of Riverside Avenue and Third Street around 11 a.m. after an investigation into the May 12 event.
The Social Security office, at 169 Walnut St., was evacuated around 8:22 a.m. when personnel arriving at work on the morning of May 13 began complaining of nausea, light-headedness and dizziness, Santa Cruz Deputy Chief Steve Clark said.
After an initial partnership with the FBI, investigators determined that someone had used a large rock to break a window in the building over night. The suspect then poured a chemical mixture of chlorine bleach and ammonia into an office cubicle, leaving behind the containers, Clark said. Combining those chemicals initially produces a hydrochloric acid, and later a secondary reaction creating chloramine gas. Clark said this mixture is potentially lethal.
Loris, who has had past contact with police for traffic-related violations, was fingered after reportedly being caught in area surveillance footage around the time of the event, Clark said.
During interviews with police investigators Monday, "Loris ... went on an anti-government rant, but fell short of confessing to the crime," Clark said.
Loris was booked into Santa Cruz County Jail on suspicion of burglary, assault with a deadly weapon and felony vandalism charges.

Tera's New Breed Of Supercomputerby
A supercomputer? Against all odds--and amid widespread skepticism--that's what Tera Computer (TERA) has produced. In April, it delivered its first to the San Diego Supercomputer Center, a facility funded by the National Science Foundation. Will this turn tiny, unknown Tera into a supercompany? Some investment pros believe it will.
Tera's revenues are expected to jump from zero last year to $12 million this year and to $62 million in 1999, says John Jones, an analyst at Salomon Smith Barney. He expects Tera to have earnings of 58 cents a share in 1999.
Skeptics point out that there have been no big leaps in supercomputer technology in recent years. The leader in supercomputer technology, Cray Research, was acquired by Silicon Graphics in 1996. But the Defense Dept., seeing the need for a new generation of supercomputers, funded Tera to the tune of $20 million. Defense is interested in supercomputers to speed up the design of aircraft and weapons systems and to simulate nuclear blasts, says one Tera insider.
Tera CEO Jim Rottsolk thinks that analysts' estimates may turn out to be conservative. He expects the initial San Diego order of $4 million will rise to $8 million by yearend. By next year, he figures Tera's revenues will rocket to between $50 million and $80 million. He says several auto and aerospace executives have approached him for possible orders, which he figures would carry Tera into an even much larger market.

Police report: State Rep. candidate Lyda Ness-Garcia received 'apparent minor injury' in alleged assault
EL PASO, Texas - The ABC-7 I Team has obtained the preliminary incident report for the assault causing bodily injury incident involving State Rep. District 77 candidate Lyda Ness-Garcia.
Ness-Garcia says she was assaulted at her home during the day on Feb. 24, and in a statement that same day said, "two unknown assailants physically attacked me at my home and threatened my family. I thank god that my family and I are safe, and I am deeply appreciative of the swift and thorough response of the El Paso PD and the Texas Rangers."
Texas Department of Public Safety spokeswoman Sgt. Elizabeth Barney told ABC-7 that DPS' Rangers are not investigating the case.
The El Paso Police officer who took the incident report wrote in the report that the attack resulted in "apparent minor injury."
The report states the officer met with Ness-Garcia, who said she desired prosecution and that she suffered minor injuries and pain.
"The attackers made clear that their motives were political, but because this is an active law enforcement matter, I will not go in to further details as to the nature of the attack. I ask that anyone with any knowledge on this matter please contact the El Paso Police Department or the Texas Rangers. My family and I thank you for your prayers and your support," Ness-Garcia said in her Feb. 24 statement.
Ness-Garcia is running against incumbent Marisa Marquez in the March 4 Democratic primary.
A spokesman for Ness-Garcia said they would not release more details about the incident on Feb. 24 other than what was released.
ABC-7 asked what led them to believe it was a politically-motivated attack, a serious accusation given that there is only one opponent. ABC-7 also asked whether the attackers had said something, taken something or left something behind -- but the spokesman said no more information would be released on Feb. 24.
Marquez released a statement on Feb. 24, saying "I'm sorry this happened to her and her family. This has no place in politics and I hope the investigation unfolds quickly. I'm sure I echo the sentiments of all candidates when I say that we stand ready to assist in any way possible."

I work for an accountant and did not get my taxes to them until the 25th of March. I told them that we don't mind if they extend us. We still have (as of 3pm yesterday) 160 returns to do by Wednesday. There will be quite a few that we will extend. We also have clients that will call us Wednesday afternoon and say "extend me" and then show up on the 14th of October to bring in their stuff expecting it to be finished the next day!!!!
Dh and I had pulled it all out in early February to get the paperwork together but didn't find a number and just put it away and sort of "forgot" about it. I didn't forget, since I deal with tax returns all day every day, but dh didn't want to have to figure out some of our home repairs we did. We shouldn't owe anything.

Posts Tagged 'raw water pump'
When the raw water pump fails, which is usually due to running dry, the impeller must be replaced. But wait! You must find and remove the pieces of the failed impeller that flowed down stream from the raw water pump. Until you retrieve these pieces, you can consider the water flow from the raw water pump to be plugged.
This plugging will cause overheating of the transmission, the engine and also the wet exhaust system hoses and related plumbing.
As the above photo shows, this transmission oil-cooler, the first heat exchanger in this system, was eighty percent plugged. Transmission overheating and failure was the result.
After clearing the blockage, the next step is to lubricate the new impeller with mild liquid soap before installation of the impeller. Finally, run the engine for a few minutes to wash the soap from the system.
Turn Your Engine Into a Bilge Pump
If your bilge pumps get knocked out and the boat is filling up, remember this: By re-plumbing your engine's raw-water pump, it is possible to take water from the bilge and pump it overboard.
Simply detach the raw-water intake hose from its sea cock (after closing the sea cock) and plunge it into the bilge. Start your engine and monitor the water level, to be sure your engine has plenty of cooling water.
Be Sure to put some kind of screen or strainer over the raw water pump suction hose, to avoid plugging.

According to MO Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D), there aren't any true atheists in America, but candidates who profess to be nonbelievers should not be judged just because they do not profess have a religious faith.
The United Methodist pastor who represents Missouri's 5th congressional district and Ralph Reed of the Faith & Freedom Coalition both sat down with CNN's Candy Crowley on April 9 to discuss whether a person can successfully run for national public office, declaring to be a "non-believer."
Cleaver did not think so, explaining:
Unfortunately, I think any person who did that would have a difficult time winning. Actually, I don't believe that there is such thing as an atheist because no respectable atheist would walk around with something in his pocket that said 'In God We Trust.' Nonetheless, I think that those of us who understand that we live in a pluralistic nation, we've got to be the ones who tell people openly, in public, on national TV, that we cannot tolerate that, where people make decisions about people who don't have a faith.
Reed said it was possible to successfully run as a non-believer, just like it is possible to run as a Muslim or Hindu and be elected, because voters make decisions based on their shared values with candidates and the candidates' qualifications for office. The People for the American Way's Right Wing Watch blog points out that Reed, who came to national prominence as the first executive director of Pat Robertson's Christian Coalition, has been linked to numerous charges of corruption, tainting his image with the GOP. His Faith & Freedom Coalition was created to rehabilitate his image in the wake of his deep involvement in the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal.
