PIERS Morgan was defiant last night after calls to throw him out of the US
over his demand for tougher gun controls.
More than 61,000 signed a petition to get the TV host deported for the
comments on his CNN talk show.
Morgan, 47, angered pro-gun activists by calling for assault weapons to be
banned in the wake of the Connecticut school shootings which killed 26.
In a debate he called Gun Owners of America chief Larry Pratt "an unbelievably
stupid man".
A petition was posted on the White House website claiming Morgan is attacking
the US constitution. It quickly passed the 25,000-name threshold it needs
for an official response.
But Morgan hit back on Twitter, joking he would host the show from outside the
And lawyers say it is unlikely he will be deported over the Second Amendment —
the right to bear arms — because the First Amendment defends free speech.

Jennifer & Eric
An adventurous duo cap off their February romance with each other—and food—with a sumptuous fete at Capitol Hill's Sole Repair.
Even though Jennifer Hellmann, 32, and Eric Beus, 31, worked at the same PCC natural market in Fremont for a year, they didn't connect until she transferred to the Green Lake location. At her going-away party on February 25, 2007 (and in front of all their coworkers), Jennifer decided Eric should be her boyfriend before giving him an impromptu tipsy kiss. It worked. "She swept me off my feet," Eric says with a laugh. On their next day off, the pair went on a 12-hour romp around Capitol Hill starting with pho and ending sweetly with another kiss.
Fast-forward four years to another romantic February day: Jennifer found herself staring down the coastal cliffs of Volcano National Park on Hawaii's Big Island and kicking at the loose soil, making a ready-to-propose Eric a bit nervous. "She said, 'Don't you want to take the plunge with me?'" Eric recalls. "And I said, 'I want to take the plunge with you in life'" and pulled out the Green Lake Jewelry Works ring that he snagged just two days before they left for their annual anniversary getaway.
The adventurous bride and groom took that final plunge in front of 50 of their closest friends and family members at Capitol Hill's dapper Sole Repair Shop a year later, marking the fifth anniversary of the day they met. The duo knew the revamped 1900s shoe repair facility was their dream match the moment they walked in—from the reclaimed-wood interior, swanky loft and killer in-house bar to Feed Company Catering's delectable dish offerings, which satisfied both the vegan bride and not-so-vegan groom. Jennifer added subtle color with touches of chocolate brown and robin's egg blue, complementing succulent greens grown by the couple, pussy willow silvers from Pike Place Market and burlap table runners fit for the venue's urban chic vibe.
After thoughtful readings of poems and quotes close to the couple's hearts, they proceeded with their handwritten vows. Just before they exchanged rings, Eric's father, Curtis Beus, who officiated at the touching ceremony, took a moment to step back and, with hand over heart, told his son how proud he was—a moment the Maple Leaf couple cherishes as the most memorable of the day.
Sole Repair transformed flawlessly into the lively reception venue, with tables brought in to accommodate a feast befitting the two food-obsessed lovers. (Jennifer is a store director for PCC, and Eric, the deli coordinator.) "When not at work, we talk about food, read food blogs, go to cheese shows, trade events and wine tastings," Eric says. Local star chef Scott Staples and his Feed Company Catering team delivered an encore-worthy round of appetizers, ranging from rabbit liver pâté with oyster mushrooms and pickled cipollini onions to parsnip soup in pistachio cups. Guests dined on Bibb lettuce salad with roasted squash, truffle mashed potatoes, ratatouille or roasted chicken, and later snacked on macaroons, vegan shortbread dipped in chocolate and lemon curd tartlets.
At night's end, friends and family showered the newlyweds in lavender before they escaped in a town car to their Olive 8 weekend suite, where handmade truffles and a miniature wedding cake awaited to cap off the magical night. A few weeks later, Jennifer and Eric jetted off to Italy and France for a month-long romantic European honeymoon.
"My favorite part of the day was knowing that every detail of their wedding was so special to them and while planning the wedding they were granting wishes! They found many of their vendors through Get Hitched Give Hope!"—Barbie Hull

Kingsport double shooting investigation continues
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - The investigation continues into an overnight double shooting at a Kingsport apartment complex.
Police said they responded to Allen Creek Apartments around 10:30 Tuesday night where they found Charles Creadle shot multiple times.
During their investigation, officers found a large quantity of what they believe to be rock cocaine, leading to the arrest of a resident of the apartment Tiffani S. Conn.
Conn is charged with the possession of over 26 grams of cocaine for resale.
Officers said they learned even more about the case later on.
"About an hour after the first shooting victim arrived [at Holston Valley Medical Center] by ambulance, a second victim of gunshot wounds arrived [rather] transported himself at Holston Valley hospital, and of course the investigation in on-going to determine who shot who," said Tom Patton, public information officer with the Kingsport Police Department.
Holston Valley officials told us the emergency room was placed on lockdown since two gunshot victims were admitted.
Patton said he believes they have talked to all parties involved in this case, but if you have any information, you're asked to call the Kingsport Police Department at (423) 229-9111.

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Chicago Bears center Olin Kreutz returned to the practice field in a limited capacity this week after undergoing offseason surgery to remove a bone spur near his Achilles tendon.
Kreutz returned to his familiar spot with the first team at center for much of Wednesday's workout, only sitting out the final few team drills at the conclusion of the organized team activity.
"Getting him back a little bit, it's good and bad," Bears quarterback Jay Cutler joked after the workout. "He wants to be in there. He gets out here, and I think he gets a little bored, and when he gets bored he starts picking on guys. But he's going to be the anchor of the offseason line, he has been for years, so we're not worried about him."
"Olin is one of our guys," Bears coach Lovie Smith said. "It was good to get him back out here in the huddle. Of course, this is a new offense, a new coach for him, a lot of different things. But he's back, he's on pace and feels real good about his injury."
Veteran punter Brad Maynard appears close to full strength after an offseason hip procedure. Maynard resumed handling punting duties during special teams work.
Players absent from Wednesday's organized team activity included Brian Urlacher, Roberto Garza, Lance Briggs and Brandon Manumaleuna. Chris Harris and Kellen Davis were present, but failed to participate.

That is a good question. If I ever get time I have the same plans. I can chamber a .379 bullet as long as I use the FCD. But I haven't had time to cast any yet.
I am considering getting a 38-55 rebore by JES. I see that his 38-55 rebores are to .375. I intend to shoot only cast bullets through it. For those of you that have the Lee 379-250-RF two cavity mold, What size do the bullets drop out at? I know they are supposed to drop at .379 but Lee molds can be 1 or 2 thousanths off one way or the other. I plan on sizing them to .277 to shoot out of a .375 bore, using strait WW, or a 50/50 mix of WW and Lino.
That is a good question. If I ever get time I have the same plans. I can chamber a .379 bullet as long as I use the FCD. But I haven't had time to cast any yet.
I'm sure y'all mean .377 not .277. That might rattle a little bit . When Jesse did mine, I requested and he cut it to .376 groove and, if I recall correctly, he can bore it larger if you want. I have been well pleasd with the results and have used BTBs with success as well as the Hornady 220 JFP. I have loaded and fired some .379 cast bullets in it and they functioned fine using Winchester (thinner) brass.
Bob I have read on various forums that their Lee mold throws a .379" boolit but mine is .381"...Which i sok by me as none of my 38-55's that I have measured have a groove smaller than .380".. I wish my Lee Mold was .382"-383"....AND that I could chamber them in my 38-55CB and H&R Target...
Mine drops at .381" as well. Since my bore is ~.379", I just skim size the bullets after they are cast.
John in Oregon
Thats what I was afraid of. I settled this by purchasing a model 336 in 32 specialOriginally Posted by johnly
I am looking into a mould for a .380 bore rifle, as well. Does this bullet shoot well? I am wanting it for cowboy silhouette games, shooting to 200meter ranges, and need to be able to take down rams. Anyone have advice?
My Jes rebore is .375 groove and the chamber will not take a bullet larger than .377. I would like to know the as cast size of the Lee mould also so look forward to someone posting on this.

What kind of brass are you using? Mine will take a .379 with starline but it is tight.Originally Posted by guzziac
Useing Winchester. I have had the brass for a good many years. If I ran a .379 into the chamber I would either have to shoot it to get it out or hammer it out with a rod. Maybe my neck thickness is more than most? I wish it would take .379 and then I could size all my bullets to.379. As it is I have to size the ones for the 38-55 Cowboy large, and those for the rebore smaller to.377. The good news is they both shoot well and have good bores.

wooden balcony in living room
I want to build a wooden balcony in my living room. The height of the room is about 9 feet, while I intend to have the balcony at about 6 feet. The length of the room is about 12 feet and the depth of the balcony will be about 3 feet. My problem is that I don't want any columns along the beam that will span the room. Would that be possible? Could I put some posts to support the beam at each end and bolt them to the concrete block walls at either end? What size beam would I have to use? The maximum weight that will be on this balcony will be about 200 lbs.
Are You Building A Large Shelf ??
Just to check I understand what you're proposing...
Your living room ceiling is 9 ft high.
You want to build a balcony in your living room at a height of 6 ft.
Are you on drugs??
You are basically proposing a large shelf.
Get a grip on reality!!

Pratt apologises for cartel
Sorry ... Richard Pratt walks into court this morning.
Photo: Jason South
Richard Pratt, whose company Visy is likely to face a minimum fine of $36 million, has apologised and accepted responsibility for Visy's conduct in price fixing with its main rival Amcor, a Melbourne court heard today.
Visy barrister Jonathan Beach QC told the court his client acknowledged liability and accepted responsibility for its conduct.
"They apologised for their conduct, they regret the circumstances in which it occurred and they repent their contravention," Mr Beach said.
Outside court, Visy owner Richard Pratt said he accepted responsibility for his company's actions.
"I know a lot more now than I knew then,'' Mr Pratt read from a statement.
"I sincerely regret what's happened, and I accept ultimate responsibility.''
Mr Beach appealed to Justice Heerey to accept the $36 million fine agreed to by the ACCC and Visy as adequate.
"The Visy board had agreed to a very high penalty... (that) $36 million is appropriate," he said.
Mr Beach asked that Justice Heerey take into account that Visy had "acknowledged liability" and had "avoided the litigation circus", arguing a trial would likely have gone for at least three months - "an horrendous exercise" that would have "soaked up the court's resources".
Mr Beach also said Visy had agreed to implement a trade practices compliances program.
However, speaking for ACCC, Peter Jopling, QC, argued that in addition to a $36 million company fine, Visy's CEO Harry Debney should pay $1.5 million in fines for his role in making the overarching agreement with Amcor.
Mr Jopling said the company's former general manager Rod Carroll should also attract a fine of $500,000 for his role in overseeing the day-to-day management of the cartel behaviour.
Mr Jopling said the ACCC would not seek a separate, individual fine for Mr Pratt whom he said would be financing the company's fine.
Mr Jopling earlier described the conduct by the companies as
callous and "very carefully and deliberately concealed''.
He said it was brought about and sanctioned at the highest levels of the companies concerned.
The ACCC initiated proceedings against Visy in December 2005 after Amcor came forward with information about the price-fixing cartel.
Amcor is immune from prosecution because the company agreed to
co-operate with the ACCC investigation, including facilitating
recordings of secret meetings between executives of the two
In relation to the collusion behaviour, Mr Beach argued that four general price increases agreed to between Visy and Amcor had not necessarily adversely affected their customers.
"Your Honour should not readily infer these customers.... sustained loss," he said.
While Visy was no doubt better off because prices had increased for its products, it could not be shown the price increases would not have occurred "in any event", Mr Beach said.
Meanwhile, Visy and Amcor's customers are launching a class action against them for losses.
The 73-year-old Mr Pratt and his senior executives have admitted to price fixing with Amcor in Australia's $2 billion cardboard box industry between 2000 and 2004.
It is alleged the cartel had ensnared and adversely affected a large number of Australian companies, including Inghams, Cadbury-Schweppes and Gillette.
Justice Heerey adjourned the hearing and reserved his decision to a date to be fixed.

Jelena Dokic has been located fit, well, and practising in Barcelona with Spanish veteran Arantxa Sanchez Vicario, as the mystery over her Australian intentions deepens and the doubts persist over her participation in the Sydney and Melbourne legs of the summer circuit.
A surprise, and unexplained, late withdrawal from the WTA tournament starting in Auckland tomorrow, Dokic is still expected by organisers to contest the adidas International in Sydney from next Sunday, the major fixture in the final lead-in week to the Australian Open.
But, with injury clearly not a factor in her Auckland non-appearance, it is believed there may be some financial link to the cloud over the 20-year-old's return to Australia for the first time since the second of the alleged draw-rigging controversies instigated by her father, Damir, in 2001.
Dokic, who emigrated with her family from Serbia to Sydney at the age of 11, has spent the past month in Barcelona. The world No. 15 indicated in November that she planned to play in New Zealand and Australia this month and no reason has been given for the early change of schedule.
Australian Open tournament director Paul McNamee maintained from Perth yesterday that "no news is good news". "As long as she's practising, that's a good sign," he said. Adidas International media manager Craig Gabriel said that nothing had been heard from Dokic to indicate a change of plans.
"We don't have an arrival date or anything like that, but we are still expecting her to be playing in Sydney and we'll certainly welcome her back," Gabriel said.
Tennis Australia president Geoff Pollard had earlier ruled out an approach to the nation's former problem child on her first visit in three years. Pollard said any move to play under the Australian flag, rather than that of Serbia-Montenegro, to which she reverted in early 2001, would have to be initiated by Dokic, who last represented her adopted homeland at the Sydney Olympics.
"It's Jelena's decision and we've always said that we'd welcome her back," Pollard said. "She still has an Australian passport as well as a Yugoslav, or Serbian, passport, so if she wants to play for us again we'll welcome her back. But it's her decision which country she plays for."

New Quake for OS X released!
The new version of Quake 3 Arena has been released today, v1.29f Beta. It won't even load up on my machine, and I am miffed, but it seems that this is a OS X only release. Did they rewrite it in Cocoa?? Who knows. But I though my fellow gamers might be interested.
Signatures are for geeks…. I'm a geek.
I couldn't get it to work at first either, but saw these instructions posted by somebody at VersionTracker:
HOW TO MAKE IT WORK: Alright, here's what you do. You need a full install of Quake III on your drive. Then copy the QuakeIII app from this update into the quake3 folder and the stuff in the baseq folder into the baseq folder your installer made… it may make you choose the quake3 folder when it first loads… do this and you're done. It should work
Low and behold, it works! I have a B&W G3/400 with 512MB of RAM and the standard ATI Rage 128 card, and I was getting between 15-30fps with all the settings on High. Playable, but not great. Of course tweaking the settings would make it far quicker, but I'm pretty impressed. A Radeon or NVIDIA card should easily pump out 40fps on a 500MHz or faster G4. I know, I know…Windows users measure framerate in the realm of 100fps, but once you are able to get sustained rates of 30 or higher, the game is VERY enjoyable. Any game, for that matter.
If you like Quake, and have OS X, go get this now. You'll dig it.
We also posted a story about this today, in case you missed it: http://www.macobserver.com/gamingnews/2001/06/19.2.shtml

You better eat him Mitch…before I do.
Has anyone played it with a better card than Kyle's? I would like to see the performance on a newer machine.
Windows sucks.
35fps with sound on
78fps with s_initsound 0
sh*te is the word I'm looking for, just another reason to buy a wintel box for gaming really
Thanks for the tip, it works on my G4 w/10.0.3 now.
Its too bad that turning sound off gives such an improvement. I bet you anything that if we installed a real sound card in the machine, it would work just like the PC. I got 31 fps with r_picmip 7 doing a timedemo on the included demo, on my g4/450 with Rage 128 vr. Oh well, it was a good time to retire from gaming. Now at least I don't have to reboot.
Keep in mind that this release is only a Beta, the final might be better (keep your fingers crossed).
Signatures are for geeks…. I'm a geek.
A note to all Mac User's downloading the new Quake release: Included are (annoyingly) two Microsoft Word documents. All they say is what new features are included, so it is not worth installing Word just to read them. You can find this same information about new features at just about any quake web site.
Signatures are for geeks…. I'm a geek.
Remember, you can open and read Word formatted documents with Text Edit. Yes, there are some garbage characters at the top and bottom, but definitely readable.
You better eat him Mitch…before I do.
I couldn't get it to work on my Dual 450 G4, it kept saying there is no OpenGl video card installed. Then I shut down and unhooked my second monitor, rebooted, then it is fine. That is totally annoying. It works, but I have to reboot every time I want to play, and when I am done. Lame considering I almost never reboot anymore…
Signatures are for geeks…. I'm a geek.
I made one simple change, turned the sound quality from High to Low, and that gained me an extra 10fps or so.
I find that remarkably interesting. Anybody running this with an NVIDIA or Radeon card that can give an idea of framerate?
Oh, and it seems you can only connect to servers that are also using the latest point release. That might explain why others have been getting cut off or booted. I have found a few that work, but all of them say specifically "1.29" or something along those lines.
You better eat him Mitch…before I do.
Hi Kyle. The reason you can only connect to 1.29 servers is because the networking code has changed, they now use 5:1 compression which means that pings should be lower all around.
Signatures are for geeks…. I'm a geek.
I'm running it on a G4/400 with a AGP Radeon card under OS X, and it's much much faster than under OS 9. The networking speeds are blazing compared to the earlier versions, and the gameplay is very smooth at 1024x768. I don't know how to measure fps, so if anyone can tell me I could post results…
to find out how many fps your getting, do this:
load the game
and in console type 'timedemo 1'
look for the "demos" menu
click "four.dm_66", then play
it'll run at a stupidly fast speed, but its supposed to.
right at the end.. as the demo closes.. if you again bring down console, it'll say how many frames in total were shown, how many per second.. and how long it was playing for. the middle number.. which will be something like '50fps' is the important one.
my comps specs are: p3-500, 128mb ram, windoze98se.. and on a fresh install of q3, along with the new patch. i got 47fps without tweaking/touching/changing anything at the original out of box res of 640x480.
can someone please tell me the mac equivalent of my comp.. because id like to know how macs compare for games.
oh.. just incase your wondering what you can squeeze out of a machine fps wise after tweaking the sh*t thru it.. my same comp has gotten over 110fps, but that was running a copy of fatalitys .cfg and on an old pointrelease, 1.17 i think [fatality being a top q3 player]
anyways.. a little rundown of how games like q3 run on the new mac G4's would be great.. like, how the various res' eg. 800x600 on a dual533 would go against a 733. how much dif ram makes etc.

Hey Pappa,
Welcome to the forums. It's good to have a friendly PC gamer amongst us. Consider registering and hanging out more often.
I'll field the equivalent Mac question. In terms of raw CPU power, a 300-400 MHz G3 or G4 is about as fast as your box, all other things being equal. Raw horse power is a poor indicator of real world speed, however. For instance, the system bus on your 500 MHz P3 is probably faster than the system bus on a 300-400 MHz G3 or G4, and that impacts performance greatly. Windows also handles I/O better than does the Classic Mac OS, which also impacts performance. Mac OS X is in the process of changing all of that, however, and we'll have a much better idea once Mac OS X 10.1 comes out at MACWORLD in July. The bottom line is that in real world gaming, I think a 400 MHz or greater G4 would probably perform as well as your current machine, depending on the game.
That said, if it were a game that was highly optimized for AltiVec (Apple calls it The Velocity Engine), a 400-500 MHz G4 would smoke your P3, though the video card would make all the difference. Unfortunately, a highly optimized for AltiVec game doesn't exist yet. The final release of Quake 3 for Mac OS X will probably be that game.
Again, welcome to the TMO forums!

Favorite (but less relevant than it used to be) Quote: Microsoft's tyranny lies not in its success, but in the way it achieved and maintains that success.
Anyone else having trouble connecting to any quake servers? I keep getting a "no response from master server" error. I think its time to reinstall from scratches.

Just in, from planet quake…
While it's not actually a .plan update from the heavens, it's close. id Software's Graeme Devine has made a .plan update regarding the status of the Mac OS X and Classic Mac OS builds of the latest Quake 3: Arena update. Here's the full scoop:
A new Mac OS X 1.29f Beta is in the process of being posted to the id ftp site.
This fixes some os the issues related to the slow sound code in the first release, many of you had written that timedemos were much faster with sound off than on (more than to be expected).
The filename is quake3-macosx-129f-2.dmg
I'm now working on the Classic release.

Battery Control Module
Battery Control Module
The Battery Control Module contains a number of inputs, outputs and components that handle the power supply to the engine and accessory consumers on board. Acting as the main hub for the boat's electrical system, it makes the battery status reliable and easier to monitor from a display at the helm. System parameters can be preset so that information on charge state, battery health, time to full/empty, voltage, and current are all easily accessible.
- One Battery Control Module is needed for each engine. - The battery supply switches can be operated on the Battery Control Module, via the Battery Management Display, or via an external button panel. - A cross‐over switch enables one battery to borrow energy from the other.
- All three switches are of solid‐state technology ensuring optimal durability and reliability with minimal voltage drop without relays or moving parts. - The Battery Control Module also contains a main fuse holder. - Two 20A constant outputs provide easy installation of constant loads such at bilge pumps that need access to power even when all main switches are off.

A user on Weibo has uploaded a set of photos and a video of what looks like a working iPhone 6 (update: Here's a video review of what looks like the same phone). The device's software does not have the same tells as the Android fakes seen many times before. It features a new looking Passbook icon, that adds a top red bar depicting a 'credit card' icon. Assumedly, this is linked to Apple's widely-reported mobile payments initiative.
Further images of the device show that is running iOS 8 (build 12A365), a build of the operating system that is not available for developer testing. It is unclear whether this is the build number of the GM. More information below.

Apple today has launched an interesting new service for iTunes Store, App Store, and iBookstore users in Japan with iPhones and iPod touches. The new service, called iTunes Pass (no, not that iTunes Pass), allows users to go to an Apple Store in Japan, purchase credit in-store for the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBookstore, and have that money immediately applied to the Apple ID account instead of needing to receive a gift card and enter a redemption code…

iOS users looking to accept payments on their mobile devices now have another option. Flint has just been updated to version 2.0. The app adds several new and useful features for small businesses, such as the ability to create invoices right in the app.
The app also introduces support for Passbook coupons. Merchants can create their own coupons and issue them to customers as Passbook passes. The Flint app can then scan these coupons and apply them directly to a transaction.
The 2.0 update also allows merchants to create orders with multiple items, and scan credit and debit cards using the camera on their iOS device. Cash and check sales can also be tracked within the new app and customers can get receipts for their transactions.

Apple website mistake reveals alternative iOS 7 icons, with tweaks to Weather, Passbook, and more (Update: removed)
UPDATE: Apple's site has reverted to the current icons present in iOS 7 beta.
Apple has quietly changed some of the icons on its official iOS 7 website, making notable changes to the Weather, Passbook, and Reminders apps. iOS 7's icons, which have been subject to much scrutiny and disapproval from various designers, have been one of the largest complaints about iOS 7 so far.
The icons, which can currently only be viewed on Apple's site using a mobile device, most notably show a completely redesigned weather app icon, ditching the clouds and sun found in the current iOS 7 beta, in favor of the live temperature, something users have been waiting for for years.
Phil Schiller previously noted on Twitter that showing live weather on the iOS home screen would "waste battery," but this is an improvement Apple has been working on for some time.

Apple has rolled out its WWDC 2013 app for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch (via MacRumors) this morning as WWDC quickly approaches. Apple has promised to push out session videos much quicker this year and will be available online as well as via its WWDC 2013 app for iOS.
Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference kicks off a week from today in San Francisco where we'll be covering the event.
Apple is set to preview new versions of its iOS and OS X operating systems at its keynote, which we'll be live blogging from location, and has already promised to deliver beta releases of both operating systems to developers so they can prepare their apps for the new operating systems:
"We look forward to gathering at WWDC 2013 with the incredible community of iOS and OS X developers," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. "Our developers have had the most prolific and profitable year ever, and we're excited to show them the latest advances in software technologies and developer tools to help them create innovative new apps. We can't wait to get new versions of iOS and OS X into their hands at WWDC."
WWDC attendees can use the app to organize their session priorities, navigate around Moscone West, and save their registration information in Passbook.

Siedu Bansey and Asiedu Attobrah to start against Ethiopia
Rahman Osman
Ghana coach Maxwell Konadu is likely to hand starting roles to striker Siedu Bansey and Asiedu Attobrah in Tuesday final Group C clash against Ethiopia.
Konadu is without strikers Sulley Mohammed, who is injured, and suspended Yahaya Mohammed.
Bansey, the Ghana Premier League leading scorer, will be given the opportunity to impress.
Attobrah is likely to replace Theophilus Anobaah who must pass a late fitness test.
Ghana need just a draw to progress from the Group stage of the 2014 African Nations Championship.

And God bless the speeding laws. And the laws against having broken headlights.
Don't speed, don't drive with broken headlights but please shoot your intruders.
"You cannot invade mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind each blade of grass." - Admiral Yamamoto
speeding and broken headlights seem like pretty standard driving laws to me. But anyways she had good trigger discipline in the video. Nice to see compared to the "gun toting grandma" or whatever they called her. And good for her NOT shooting him in the back.
Protection is a responsibility not just a right.
Too bad he got away unscathed... Just goes to show how easy it is to miss, even in close proximity.
Did you catch the next story... 17 yr old punk shot up an Anti-Violence Rally. Good no one was killed and they caught him. Police say they do not know the motive for the shooting... I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the scumbag just wanted to shoot it up BECAUSE it was an Anti-Violence Rally.

"The gun is the great equalizer... For it is the gun, that allows the meek to repel the monsters; Whom are bigger, stronger and without conscience, prey on those who without one, would surely perish."
The rally was about 8 miles from where I live. Last I heard they caught all but one BG. This park is only 2 miles North from Tinker AFB. Midwest City really isn't a bad place they do have some localized crime areas.

I think the lady in the story showed good control of her emotions. She could have shot him in the back but she didn't. Puts us all in a good light if you ask me.

Too bad she missed with the first two shots....what more can I say?
If you go 3 miles to the North of the base it starts to get bad. They have isolated housing additions one is named "Murder One", another one is called "Panic Zone". It's posssible they lived in one of these areas. There are still alot of older people who bought there houses in these neighborhoods decades ago who refuse to move even though the area has degraded. If you go one mile to the West of the base it starts to get shady all the way through to downtown OKC. South of the base is really rural and there is a lake. When you go East of the base is where the area is alot better and has seen a boom in buildling. The bad areas are wery isolated to neighborhoods in MWC. I would bet Ram Rods relatives lived in one of these areas, unless you lived there you wouldn't know that the area was shady and most older people who bought decades ago before it was shady refuse to leave. My freind has a Grandma who lives in "Murder One", I'm uncomfortable everytime I've been there with him but the neighborhood thugs seem to leave her alone. We both have our CWL's and carry all the time.

I'd hate to be on the other end of her lasered Glock. She looks all business. Good for her for being prepared and willing to use her weapon. Also good for her for not shooting the perp in the back.
I've warned my wife about someone coming in underneath a partially-opened garage door, and she looked at me like I was crazy for thinking anyone would do this. A skinny person can slip under the door if it's opened 9-12 inches.
Here's a written version of the story:
Homeowner takes a shot at burglar - KFORHomeowner takes a shot at burglar
OKLAHOMA CITY -- One burglar may be considering a different profession after nearly losing his life during a break-in, last Wednesday.
Heather Fitzgerald says she was checking e-mail in her garage with the garage partially open. Shortly before 3:00 a.m., however, an intruder crawled in.
Heather immediately worried for her children, who were sleeping inside the home. She grabbed her 9-milimeter pistol and fired two shots at the man.
Police do not believe he was hit because they found no blood at the scene. As he was running away, she says she lined up the gun's laser sight on his back, but did not pull the trigger again, most likely sparing his life.
"I just, I couldn't do it," Fitzgerald says. "And it took everything that I had, not to. Seems like you should be able to be in your own garage at night when it's dark and not have to worry about that kind of stuff."
That suspect is still on the loose. Heather says she did not get a good look at his face, however he was wearing jeans and a dark-colored hoodie.
Police say she was well within her rights to use deadly force to protect herself on her property, which follows an Oklahoma statute known as the "Make My Day" law.
Copyright © 2009, KFOR-TV
I copied the link and sent it on to all in my address book along with a reminder that a trained person with a gun is quicker than the police even if they are only one phone call and an indertermined number of minutes away. Think about training, not just purchasing. The BG is gone, the homeowner is not going to jail for shooting him in the back, the kids are safe. Everyone is happy...except the BG, as it should be.

Originally posted on Phillies Nation | Last updated 11/21/12
2012 Eastern League All-Star Castro was a notable omission from the Phils' 40-man roster this year. Photo by: Ian Riccaboni Yesterday, the Phillies added outfielder Zach Collier and right-handed pitchers Ethan Martin, Trevor May, and Jonathan Pettibone to their 40-man roster, protecting them from other teams selecting them in the Rule 5 Draft. The Phillies now have 38 players on the 40-man roster. Players generally become Rule 5 Draft eligible when not on the 40-man roster and they meet the following condition: a player was signed at age 18 or younger and has accrued five years of Minor League service OR a player was signed at age 19 or older and has accrued four years of Minor League service. Not every player eligible can be protected and every player who meets the above criteria is eligible to be drafted by any other Major League team with room on their own 40-man roster. That team, however, must keep the selected player on their Major League roster for the entire season or either forfeit the player back to the team he was selected from or work out a deal to keep the player and thus demote the player. The Phillies have had hits, misses, and players claimed from them in the Rule 5 draft. The Phillies have hit big twice in the Rule 5, with Dave Hollins in 1989 and Shane Victorino in 2005. They did OK with David Herndon in 2009′s Rule 5 but swung and missed badly in 2010′s Rule 5. Last year, the Cubs plucked Lendy Castillo from the Phils and kept him on their roster the entire year. Castillo, 23, pitched in just 13 games and posted 7.88 ERA. For a more extensive history of the Phillies and Rule 5, check out this article by Robert Cowie from Phillies Nation. This year, there were a few notable omissions from being added to the 40-man. Let's take a look: Leandro Castro, OF: Castro put up nice numbers in his first go-round at Double-A Reading (.287/.316/.427) but was outplayed by his outfield-mate Tyson Gillies (.304/.369/.453) and Collier has had a fantastic Arizona Fall League Campaign (.371/.461/.532) and is a full year younger. Castro was likely not protected because the Phils already have two similar outfielders in Gillies and Collier in the pipeline and Collier's toolsy-ness have impressed in the AFL. If Castro does not get claimed, which I would put the odds squarely at 50/50, he may start the year in Triple-A. This is Castro's first year eligible to be selected. Jiwan James, OF: James was the third member of the Reading outfield that included Castro and Gillies. It was believed that James may have been taken in last year's Rule 5 – he was not. James is a similar player to Castro, Collier, and Gillies: a lot of speed, hits for average, and above average defense. Unfortunately, while James had a career high of home runs (6) in his first trip to Double-A Reading, he also had career lows in average (.249), OBP (.291), and SLG (.360) and looked over-matched at times. In his second year of eligibility, James is intriguing but he is unlikely to be claimed. Julio Rodriguez, P: Rodriguez's conversion to a starter has had mixed results. After a fantastic 2011 in Clearwater where Rodriguez pitched a career high 156.2 innings, Rodriguez ran out of steam down the stretch in 2012. Rodriguez's fastball sits in the high 80′s and was hit hard in the Futures Game this year. After the Futures Game, it was downhill for Rodriguez. Rodriguez would be an excellent low-risk, high-reward Rule 5 pick for a team, particularly if the selecting team's scouting department believes his slowed-down second half was due to fatigue. Of the players left unprotected, Rodriguez may be the Phillies' Minor Leaguer most likely to be selected. With 38 of 40 roster spots full, and the Phillies all but guaranteed to sign a veteran outfielder, it begs the question who would go should they sign more than three players to Major League deals. Perhaps of quiet concern, the Phillies only have three catchers on their 40-man roster and Sebastian Valle likely needs more seasoning in Triple-A before joining the Phils, even in an emergency back-up role.

Banning dual clutches is what increases the costs and hands the advantage to the works teams.

Meredith's Marvelous Margaritas
Saturday, July 29, 2006
If I say to you that I just tasted the best margaritas in the world, you could reasonably point out that I had only drunk margaritas 2 other times in my life, and that those were many many years ago, in places with names like Hooters or Fred's Steakhouse.
But, in substance, you would be wrong. Meredith does make perfect margaritas, and here is how she does it:
- Place nicely-shaped glasses with large perimeter rims in freezer for a few hours.
- Mix 1 part strained freshly squeezed lime juice, 1 part Triple Sec, 3 parts good Tequila in a glass vessel. Stir.
- Take the glasses out of the freezer, quickly dip the lightly moistened rims in fleur de sel. Add an ice cube made from good water.
- Pour
- Drink

Date of Stay: September, 2008
We stopped here on our way to Deadwood. This is a very expansive park with great privacy and shade on the pull throughs. They also had a grill and picnic table on our site. I especially liked the fenced pet play area. Very convenient to I-25. Strongly recommend!
Date of Stay: September, 2008
This park is now called Beatty RV Park (formerly Kay's Corral). I was thoroughly pleased with every aspect of our stay! The friendly park manager met us promptly as we pulled up. We were impressed with the wide pull through sites. The park also has high speed wireless internet so we were able to send e-mails and pictures from our trip and do our future travel planning on the lightning fast internet connection. The park is very cozy and has a row of mature trees that line the road boundary. It is also a great park if you are pet people as there is access to BLM land from the park. My Australian Shepherds were in heaven! Great hiking and views! I give Beatty RV Park my highest recommendation and will return on my next trip to Nevada!
Date of Stay: August, 2008
Great park with amazing views of the Tetons! It is expansive and crowded, but that goes with the territory. Wi-Fi would have been nice as I don't have a dish.

UP chief minister Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday called upon the elders of riot-hit Muzaffarnagar and Shamli districts to help the administration to bring back peace.
During a visit to the two districts, Yadav interacted with a group of elders in Malikpura village and expressed grief at the killing of two youths of the village on August 27. The village was the epicentre of the violence, which erupted after the murder of three youths over molestation. Violence spread in several villages of Muzaffarnagar and Shamli, districts claiming over 40 lives from both communities.
He visited the families of the two persons in the village where a group of villagers briefed him about the incident and demanded action against the accused.
Earlier, the chief minister met the father of the person whose killing sparked the riots.
Later, the chief minister visited relief camps in Shamli district.
He urged officials to work towards building up a conducive atmosphere so that the camp inmates return to their homes.

Support the 'Chili Bill'
If you want to know everything there is to know about chili, there is one definitive source — the International Chili Society (ICS) in San Juan Capistrano, Calif. The ICS sanctions more than 200 chili cook-offs in seven countries. Events support tourism, bring neighbors together and raise millions.
Vickie Marnick, ICS administrator, told us that several states have such strict health safety laws that it is almost impossible to host local events. In Minnesota, chili or soup must be prepared on-site and adhere to many of the same rules as commercial kitchens.
At the Brainerd Lakes Chamber, our annual Crosslake Chili Cook-off has lost about half its business entries because of enforcement of these rules. During slow tourism months, that really browns our beef.
We have no doubt that health officials are doing their jobs, but we believe the rules are overreaching. Marnick couldn't recall a time when a person became sick or hospitalized from eating homemade contest chili. We searched for an example online and couldn't find one, either.
So, here we are in the 2014 legislative session and Sen. Carrie Ruud and Rep. Joe Radinovich have authored a common-sense bill to relax the rules and save our collective beans. The bill is likely to pass the Legislature but may be at risk of being vetoed by Gov. Mark Dayton.
The Chamber's position is that the "Chili Bill" doesn't eliminate food safety. It eliminates a barrier to commerce and community traditions.
Granted, is this an international crisis? Probably not (unless you ask the ICS). But this is a moment that peppering our governor with messages really does make a difference.
Call 651-201-3400 or visit mn.gov/governor and click "Contact Us" to offer support for Bill SF2060.

awg size for 60' underground line from house to shed for 60 amp
I have a shed that is about 50 feet away from the house, and about 60 feet away from the main circuit breaker. Currently UF-B 14/2 with ground underground cable is drawn from the circuit breaker to the shed, while 12/2 is primarily used in the shed.
I'd like a subpanel in my shed for 60 amps. This way I could have a couple 20 amp recepticals for my saws, 15 amps for my lights, and have room for 220v 20amp lines in the shed for my compressor and perhaps a future 220v upgrade of my table saw.
Now I know I can't do that with the current setup.
1) What size awg would I use for the underground wire? Typically I know 60 amps require 6 gauge but does this still apply for 60+ feet? I cant seem to make sense of this issue.
2) does underground cable support higher amp rating than interior cable? I can't make sense as to why the prior owner ran 14/2 underground then in the shed used 12/2 for all the recepticals and lights.
With 14-2 you can only have a 15a breaker, doesn't matter if its UF
For 60a use #6 TWHN in conduit
So if I understand you right, you are saying to buy the following:
50' #6 black
50' #6 red
50' #6 white
50' #6 green
Fit all into one conduit (again, what size is appropriate?), then feed conduit from circuit breaker to sub-panel.
You don't need the red, it can be black with red tape to mark it
Neutral must be white, #6
Green can actually be #10
If it is a straight run withoput any bends & twists I could use 1" grey electric PVC
I had 4 bends & still used 1" for my feed
Detached structure you also need (2) 8' ground rods
Neutrals & grounds not bonded together at the sub
Neutral bar not grounded to the case
I used a 100a 20 space main breaker panel as my sub & fed it with a 60a 240v breaker in the main panel
Search "Sub Panels" "wire shed" "garage" ect..... in the search function of this forum. This is by far the most commonly asked question.

Police identify man found dead along railroad tracks in Bogota
BOGOTA – Police identified the body of a man found near Bogota's railroad tracks as 50-year-old Michael Clifford of Bogota.
According to police, two pedestrians noticed a "pungent odor" and after investigating its source found Clifford's body around midnight Friday in a secluded area alongside railroad tracks near Elm Avenue.
The body did not appear to have been struck by a train, and preliminary findings from the county's medical examiner do not show any sign of trauma or criminal activity related to Clifford's death, said Bogota police Detective Sgt. Jonathan T. Misskerg. The exact cause of death is pending toxicology results, which will take weeks, he added.
Authorities were not sure how long the body had been there, but it appeared to be a couple of days. Clifford was a known homeless man in the Bogota and Hackensack area, Misskerg said.
"He had some known health issues and he had recently been hospitalized," Misskerg said.

RUMOUR ALERT! Is Google developing its own web browser?
According to an article in Blogoscoped, a guy named Lizard was told that Google is developing its own, WebKit-based browser. This internal project's name is 'GBrowser'. There is currently a bit of a browser war going on between Microsoft, Firefox (Just releasing 3.0), Safari (getting bundled with iTunes) and Opera (claiming the speed crown).
Because most of Google's service such as Google toolbar and Google Docs rely on internet browser, it may be essential for Google to develope its own browser despite of it having a core partner in Firefox. Having its own browser will give it even more control of the features and tools and allow deeper integration of its services.
Lizard also said that GBrowser is built on top of the open source WebKit browser framework, which was also used by Apple to create Safari.
Lizard added at last, "Mozilla knows GBrowser is coming and discusses it at length internally".

problems filling fuel tank
I am having a problem with my 99 Grand Cherokee at the gas pump. This just started about 2 weeks ago. I have to hold the nozzle and trickle the gas into the tank, or else the pump keeps shutting off. I have tried different pumps and differnet stations, but no good. There are no codes showing up on the odometer. Also, a while back (couple of months) I ran out of gas and rolled into the station, but when I filled it up, it only took 18 gallons to fill?? HELP!! It takes me 10 minutes to fill the tank!
Re: problems filling fuel tank
First thing that comes to mind is the vent is plugged. There is a vent line next to the fill line that goes to the tank so air can exit the tank as it fills with gas. If its not venting pressure will build up and the pump auto shutoff will kick in.
Re: problems filling fuel tank
There is an onboard refueling vapor recovery system installed which directs the air, which has to come out of the tank during refueling, to the EVAP canister. There is a controlvalve in that line which is actuated by a float. Maybe the float is sticking in closed position, preventing the air going out of the tank. This valve is mounted on top of the tank left fwd side. Don´t know if you can access it with the tank in place.
Re: problems filling fuel tank
Mine does this sometimes. I learned that if I bring the nozzle out of the fill tube by about a half inch or so, it'll fill up like normal. Seems to only happen at pumps with older nozzles.

Meth to Nicol, OUT, Diamond duck for Watling. Nicol has sold him down the river. Pushes to short midwicket, takes three-four solid strides down the wicket, and then says no. Watling has nowhere to go but to hope that Waller misses. Waller hits the stumps direct
BJ Watling run out 0 (3m 0b 0x4 0x6) SR: -
Ncube to Nicol, OUT, lovely catch by Sibanda to give Ncube a maiden ODI wicket. Not that this is what you can call a fielder's wicket alone. Ncube stays short of a length even as Nicol charges at him, the bounce and the line cramp him up, and he ends up slicing it square on the off side. Sibanda runs back from point - turns around and runs - and takes it over his shoulder
RJ Nicol c Sibanda b Ncube 14 (26m 19b 3x4 0x6) SR: 73.68
Ncube to BB McCullum, OUT, that's a ripper, lovely bowling from the debutant. Short of a length outside off, kicks off and holds its line. McCullum is drawn into pushng at it, and is done in by the straightening of the ball. Huge appeal right away, McCullum doesn't walk, but the umpire sends him on his way. A thin edge it seems like
BB McCullum c †Mutizwa b Ncube 18 (31m 19b 3x4 0x6) SR: 94.73
Waller to Ryder, OUT, Leading edge. This seems to be angling into the pads, I don't see much turn, but Ryder has closed the face a touch early, and lobs back an easy return catch. Ryder is slow as Inzi on his walk back
JD Ryder c & b Waller 53 (76m 68b 5x4 1x6) SR: 77.94
Ncube to Taylor, OUT, Taylor is bowled, which also means KW won't get a hundred. Back to Taylor, though. It's a lenght ball, the kind he sometimes hits for sixes blindfolded. But he misses this, and the middle stump goes for a walk
LRPL Taylor b Ncube 119 (177m 126b 9x4 3x6) SR: 94.44

household refrigerator mod
Are any of ya'll intimatly familiar with the internals of plain old fridges?
Is it possible to use the cooling stuff from a fridge to make a water cooler for my fish tank?
I will google it in the mean time, thanks
NO! are u crazy?
Anything is possible. Tell you what all you need is a 5 gallon bucket of water, sitting in your fridge, a small water fountain or pond submergeble pumb and a bunch of copper wire and some plastic tubing. You put your pump in the bucket-o-water, hook up some tubing to it run that to your copper wire wound in a coil, stick the coil in the fish tank and run the water out the other side of the coil back into the fridge. Experiment with amount of water in bucket till you get your tank temperature where you want it, or adjust internal temp of fridge which takes like 24 hours to settle down.:thumbsup:
Out of curiosity, why would you want to cool a fish tank? I always that you wanted to keep the temperature pretty warm in a tank?
Thanks for the replys.
The tank is on the screened in front porch. The water temp is too high in the summer. not deadly but what I am pretty sure is over the comfort zone for the fish.
I gave up on the idea of using the fridge.
I wound up installing a closed loop geo-thermal exchange system. I am still in the process of tweaking it, but have so far achieved a 2 degree drop in water temp. Not enough yet but I only need to get another 2 or 3 degrees and I would be ok with it.
Why not use the reefer to freeze a block of ice. Size is variable to you using any of many plastic tubs cartons etc.
Then slip the ice burg out of container into the fish bowl every morning .
wink :wink:

The peninsula is an icy world that's warming faster than anywhere else on Earth, threatening a rich but delicate biological community
James McClintock, Hugh Ducklow, William Fraser
Much remains to be understood about the food web that culminates with penguins and other avian and mammalian predators. Some two decades ago, the prevailing model for the dynamics of these populations was the "krill surplus hypothesis." According to this view, krill populations had long been held in check by baleen whales, but when those whales were nearly exterminated in the 20th century, krill were released from predation; the ensuing surplus led to significant population growth in other krill-dependent predators. This explanation no longer seems fully adequate. Although krill are indeed a key component of the food web and critical to the diets of many top predators, the surplus hypothesis cannot explain the population trends in brush-tailed penguins, for example. Because all three species have diets dominated by krill, a surplus would be expected to produce similar trends in all of them.
An analogous situation has been observed among seals. Like Adélie penguins, Weddell seals are ice-dependent, and their populations have plummeted, while the populations of ice-avoiding fur and elephant seals have increased significantly. Of the three species, only fur seals are krill-dependent. An obvious inference is that sea ice, rather than diet, is the dominant factor governing the animals' response to climate change.
In the years since the krill-surplus hypothesis was first put forward and then challenged by the ice-reduction hypothesis, we have learned that krill themselves are an ice-dependent species. Without sea ice, krill do not reproduce successfully because the larvae need to graze on phytoplankton on the underside of the ice to survive winter. Along the northern half of the western Antarctic Peninsula, and in much of the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean, there is no krill surplus; on the contrary, this area has experienced an 80 percent decrease in krill abundance over the past 30 years, attributed to loss of winter sea ice.
Theories of top-predator population dynamics are necessarily shifting to take into account changes in both krill abundance and winter ice cover. Sea ice is increasingly regarded as the variable that mediates food-web interactions. The extent of the ice has a direct impact on krill reproductive success and abundance. Then the presence or absence of ice determines which predators are best able to reach the prey populations. This double effect of sea ice may explain why some krill-dependent but ice-avoiding predators, such as gentoo penguins, have continued to increase even as krill abundance has decreased.
Our collective observations, spanning microbiota to megafauna and encompassing the many complex relationships between taxa, paint a picture of the Antarctic Peninsula as an environment undergoing unprecedented ecological shifts in response to climate change. We would not claim to fully understand all the mechanisms driving the patterns we have observed; we are acutely aware that much more research is needed. But we have learned enough to conclude that this unique ecosystem is in peril. We sound an urgent call to mitigate all the factors under human control that are contributing to global climate change.
