Wow! GREAT question, and so many choices! For a cruiser to get across the galaxy in comfort, I think that I would have to go with a Corellian Corvette!
And if things got a bit heated, then I would go with a V-Wing as a fighter!
Gotta be a tricked out Firespray - if it's good enough for the Fetts, it's good enough for me.
Hmmmm, I've always loved the TIE Interceptor, Slave 1, and Shuttle Tydirium. I could really see myself in an interceptor.
My first choice would be a Firespray as well, then a Corellian YT-1300, heavily modified of course.
Very kool i like that idea
Pic Of Mine:
Have to admit, the Lamda is very pretty, but I'd have to go with either a T-65 or a pimped up YT-1300.
Very Awesome answers today and i'm glad that you all like this toppic which i have to say oddball i love that pic good ol' kelly's heroes and i do like the ride i chose because i'm gonna make a model with the color scheme i'm doing for my armor.

Alright Kwally, so the Interceptor would have been my next choice of fighters. They rock also!
Yeah fighters are awesome for firefights
When I was younger, about ten years ago, I would go over my friends house (he was just as big a Star Wars fan as I was) and we would spend most of the day playing out our own little adventures in the Star Wars Universe and one of the guys I had made up had, as his flagship, a Super Star Destroyer. No one that he encountered ever inquired how he ever came across owning one, though.
hmmmm, this is a tough one... either the Mega Maid or The Eagle 5 "I (love) Uranus" lol
That was a great movie, I must admit.
True, very funny movie... as for a ship, I like my custom Sienar Courier and the pimped out Besu'liik starfighter docked to it incase I need it, both in "stealth" configurations of course. My Sienar is black and the fighter is grey with blue trim.
The Tie-Interceptor no doubt. I love that ship... I would make that sucker so fast.
For my main flagship from where I would hold my other ships, I'm pretty certain I would go with the Eclipse Super Star Destroyer. I'm relatively certain it could hold the other ships in my arsenal.
For normal use, I'd HAVE to go for a modified YT-1300, tons of room and firepower. For a fighter I'd have to go with the Jedi Starfighter, has shields, firepower, hyperdrive, and the agility of an A-Wing. Plus having an astromech like Artoo gives you tons of other options outside the ship as well as in.
Bes'uliik, X-wing or firespray.
I would go with a StarViper-class attack platform aka the personal starship of Prince Xizor.
That is a rather nice ship, I do have to say.
The nice part about having multiple personæ in this universe is that one can have multiple cool rides. My primary 501st persona is a Royal Guard, with a full closetful of options from red Stormtrooper armour to black officer's uniform to a custom flight suit, and so forth. As such, when I'm not accompanying the Emperor, I'd be aboard one of these:
Although I'd prefer to have a similarly-modded TIE Avenger:
I'm also working on an ARC Commander, in which case my ride is whatever the Republic sends me in. Same with my custom Jedi General.
I'm doing a Fenn Shysa, and we don't know much about what he flew in. Maybe a Pursuer-class ship. That leaves me with my custom Mando, and those of a couple ladyfriends. I'm figuring Imperial-through-Vong-to-Legacy of the Force-era. I like the idea of a Y-Wing or an old ARC-170, heavily customised, of course. Maybe upgrading to a bes'uliik or three later on...

North Korea's 'election' records 99.97% turnout
AFP Wednesday, March 12, 2014, 12:06 am TWN
SEOUL--North Korea confirmed Tuesday a near-perfect turnout for its parliamentary "election" in which single candidates — approved by the political elite — stood uncontested in 687 constituencies across the country.
"According to the election returns available, 99.97 percent of all the voters registered ... took part in the election," the North's official KCNA news agency said.
Of the votes cast on Sunday, "100 percent" were for the unopposed candidates, a fact KCNA said demonstrated "the absolute support and trust of all voters" for the government.
The wholly stage-managed election for the North's rubber-stamp Supreme People's Assembly (SPA) included a win for paramount leader Kim Jong Un, who notably managed a perfect turnout in his own constituency.
The parliamentary poll is held every five years and turnout this time was actually slightly down on 2009, when 99.98 percent cast their ballots.
Each constituency had only one state-sanctioned candidate and voters were only allowed to mark "yes" on a ballot sheet in a closely monitored polling booth.
Many top Korean officials are members of the parliament, and the election is an opportunity to see if any established names are absent.
An initial count by South Korea's Yonhap news agency suggested that more than half of the assembly will comprise first-time deputies, but analysts said there were no great surprises among the changes.
Kim Jong Un's powerful aunt, Kim Kyong Hui, was on the list of elected candidates published by KCNA on Tuesday, suggesting she had survived the purge and shock execution in December of her husband, Jang Song Thaek.
The purge extended to Jang's family members and close associates, some of whom were absent from the new parliamentary roll call.
But the names of most top-level officials were listed, suggesting that "the number of Jang's associates in the upper leadership may not have been as large as previously thought," said Cheong Seong-chang, an analyst at the Sejong Institute in Seoul.
Other high-profile names included Vice Marshall Choe Ryong Hae, the vice chairman of the party's central military commission.
Seen as the number two in the leadership after Kim Jong Un, Choe had disappeared from public view for several weeks in February, leading to speculation that he may have been purged as well.
The current prime minister Pak Pong Ju, spy chief Kim Won Hong, national police chief Choe Pu Il and armed forces minister Jang Jong Nam were also listed.

hapless hacking and Actual Riding log(366 Posts)
is the riding log full now? Haven't seen it for ages.
Anyway we (well, me and the horse) are back in very light work at last, 2013 can finally begin!
What are your goals?
waving hello to everyone at trinity park today
How is poor pony? Is he ok-in-a-couple-of days-lame, or call-the-vet-lame?
I thought he was ok and arranged an endurance ride but no, it's windgalls so am not losing sleep over it - must be all this warm weather
etc but thank you for asking! Can take horse instead but thought would be good for the under socialised boy
We have had 2 weeks of hardly riding at all,due to a combination of DD2's birthday sleepover,school meetings and bad weather,we have only ridden 2-3 times a week.
DD1 went to the cinema with Daddy to watch Ironman today,so I got to ride dpony whilst DD2 babysat me. Dpony was yanking the reins and each time she did it,I nearly fell off,much to DD2's amusement.The little swine spent the whole ride laughing at me,especially when her pony did a massive spook at some sheep,[which he sees every day] and of course then dpony had to spook too.I didn't fall off mercifully as it is incredibly muddy here and I didn't fancy the ride of shame back up the street with evidence of my lack of horsemanship plastered all over me.
We were at Trinity Park yesterday Mitchy. Sadly DD only 4th in RI qualifier so no ticket for us even though she beat the pony who won at South Suffolk when we were second. Last chance at Rutland on Sunday.
Suffolk was a difficult show though. Cold and wet throughout yesterday (after 4.45am start) and the rings were electric due to the steam engines, carriages, motor bike noises etc.
oh good luck for Sunday then butkin, shame you missed the inter-hunt relay today though
weather is just too depressing for words isn't it
We have had a lovely weekend,took the ponies over to my friend's yesterday as they know someone who has a little x country course and sj course that they are happy for us to use.It was a nice change to ride somewhere else and the owners were just lovely,they wouldn't accept any payment and said they missed seeing little kids having fun on ponies.In the afternoon we went to the DAC at Melton to see the military & Household Cavalry horses-there are 2 lovely horses up for rehoming and it is tempting.
Today we visited a Heavy Horse/Shire show,and I got some jump cups for £1 a pair and a pair of long leather Dublin dressage boots for £10 at the sale they had there.[I don't know the first thing about dressage,but loved the boots]This afternoon we've been practising gymkhana games and jumping ready for the summer shows.
Dhorse and I went for a fun ride yesterday, and took a novice rider and her young horse with us. She was very brave and they managed really well - especially with dhorse prancing and showing off at every opportunity. We did the first 6 miles in just under 2 hours - then I did the remaining 6 on my own in just under 1 hour......not surprisingly my arms hurt a bit today, he was pulling so hard he must be a lot fitter than I thought!
It was wonderful, all off road with lots of optional jumps - haybales, tree trunks, tiger traps and the occasional small gate - and the weather was fab. Despite the fact that I was knackered it was a good reminder of why I have a horse, and puts the long muddy winter into perspective!
Mirage and anyone else who wants to make small jumps - apparently potties from Aldi make very good low practice jumps, the poles sit very snugly in the curve somehow! I've not done it myself but there was a lengthy thread on H&H forum somewhere about it.
I can see how that would work but it's hilarious. Imagine how mad you would look with potties all over your field .
I did wonder what the response would be if you walked out from a shop with a dozen or so potties too!
Dhorse is off to horspital this week for an assessment of his kissing spine problem - there is a less invasive surgery available which involves releasing ligaments rather than shaving/removing bones..... My vet thinks it's worth investigating so I'm happy to see what the experts say. At the same time I might ask if they can do brain surgery to remove the bit that says "I must spook at EVERYTHING that moves - and everything that looks as though it might move", it's driving me mad at the moment.
Just read this post??
Mine and the daft tb aims are to do bd at novice on a ticket. And qualify for the endurance RC finals. Hopefully there just not sure which team I'm in.
Of course, this is all assuming the bizarre leg swelling goes away!!
Oh and I'd really like her jump round an entire jumping course!!
Where is everyone - riding?!
Dhorse has been recommended for this newer standing DSP surgery - gulp. He goes in on Sunday, 2 hour op on Monday then he could come out Tuesday but I've opted for him to stay until Friday as I don't have a stable and want to be 100% sure it's on the mend. He will then need two weeks complete rest in a small patch after which we can get going with rehab which will involve walking, long reining, lunging and then I should be able to get back on in 12 weeks. I've now got to find a light turnout to protect the dressing, hay and food. Any suggestions for feeding and keeping a horse in a small space post surgery would be welcome.
The only other option is medication with steroids but this won't be effective for ever, probably only 2-3 months at a time whereas this newer surgery is anticipated to work for much longer, they were talking years rather than months but as it is a new procedure can't offer guarantees.
I'm scared for him, anxious about the rehab and generally feeling a bit sick about it all, but with everything crossed he should come out feeling better and will be pain free for longer.
Fingers crossed on Monday!
hi frosty that does all sound quite scary, will keep fingers crossed that everything goes as safely and smoothly as possible! Maybe you could start an additional thread about post-op care? More people might see it? Have some for later anyway and edible for the patient
have been busy, not actually riding that much because pony is not quite 100%, windgalls and really need a new saddle - he has grown and changed so much. Really think no way was he five whenever I bought him, he's probably about that now. I wonder if that happens? Anyway so cleaning his lovely barnsby to put on eBay. Horse is on great form - I lunged him yesterday over poles using only the power of my mind. It was ok for a bit, pretty good, he even cantered on each rein
for about three strides but then he just acted like a spaniel following me everywhere. So back to the more traditional lunge line method I think.
Dhorse had his op this afternoon and has come out well so far. He's in until Friday when I'll be fetching him back to put in his tiny patch on the field....hay and happy hoof lined up, plus a lick, plus a turnout to stop it all getting wet.
He was funny when I took him in yesterday - a lovely big stable with squidgy rubber floor and a deep fluffy bed of shavings at the back in an immaculate line. He had a good dig, then a roll, then a pee and stood having his admission notes taken with white shavings in his mane looking completely nuts. It's very odd at home without him, and he's too far away for me to go and visit so roll on Friday.
glad all went well and he is enjoying his new accommodation
hope you manage ok until Friday and are not missing him too much
Dhorse is home and looking around his very small patch in the field with an unamused expression. He's effectively on box rest for another 10 days, then stitches/staples out (and there are loads of them, about 15/20) and then he's allowed a 10 minute walk in a straight line for 2 weeks, then lunging for weeks 4-8, then a check up, then hopefully ridden work.
He was a model patient (I bet they say that to all the owners!), and seems quite happy - we have a good supply of bute, and amused them by how thoroughly he rolled every day, making them change the dressing all the time.
Fingers crossed that all this hard work pays off.
DD went to Lincolnshire Show yesterday. Left at 3.30am as she was in the ring at 8am... She came 3rd in the HOYS qualifier but didn't get her ticket as it went to the 2nd. I missed it because I went to Royal Ascot instead (which was an awesome day!).
Things aren't going too well here.We moved the ponies to their summer grazing and the next day Brandy took off with DD2 whilst cantering across a field,and galloped around until she fell off,then he spooked in a gateway on the way back and took off again,resulting in another fall and some nasty scrapes and grazes.Since then he has taken off with her several times for no reason that we can see at all,and is impossibly spooky.She has had so many falls that I've lost count.The last time he did a runner was during her lesson on Wednesday,and mercifully she managed to stay on.Her instructor said that there was no reason for him to do it and suspects that an incident in his past that we were aware of,might still be affecting him,and his first reaction to anything is to run.
So,poor DD2 has lost her confidence,she has gone from galloping about jumping anything,to being afraid to go out of walk without me next to her.His eyes are on stalks at everything and we have a show tomorrow which I'm not looking forward to now at all. DD2 will have to go on the lead rein as I don't trust him not to do something stupid.
I think its the grass,but his owner doesn't think so.I'm gutted for them both as poor DD2 has had some bad experiences in the past and really thought she'd found the right pony,but we are going backwards at the minute.
I thought he was going ok and being a star? (unless I'm mixing you up with someone else ) Seems a bit of a sudden change so I don't know why his owner is ruling out the grass if nothing else has changed.
Am I right in thinking he's quite young? Sometimes they can only cope with an busy workload and new experiences for so long and then all of a sudden their baby brains can't cope any more. He could just need a break from the shows etc and some relaxing hacks to settle him down but I can understand that's not what you want to hear at this time of year, especially as your dd was doing so well and probably has all sorts of plans. I'm not saying it is that, as I don't know him, but I have seen it happen before with youngsters.
Have you tried getting him off the grass for part of the day, or maybe lunging him before dd gets on him to work off some of the extra energy? Is there anything near the new field that could be spooking him and putting him on edge? (am thinking something going on behind a hedge like cattle/cyclists/golf course/bird scarer!, or someone letting their dog in the field when you aren't there, anything unusual really).
Yes,Pixel you are right,we've had him nearly 5 months,and until 3 weeks ago,apart from running off down the road with DD2 when a tractor scared him,he has been really good,took everything in his stride.He is 7 and was only broken to ride last summer,previously he was driven,but was in an awful accident and couldn't be driven after that.The trap over turned and he ran off dragging it behind him,and he is very spooky about things with wheels/things behind him.
We didn't take him anywhere for the first 2 months,just messed about at home,in all he has been to 3 PC rallies and 1 show whilst he has been with us.I did wonder if it might be a sign that he has been doing too much,but it seems odd that he has been very good whilst out,and it has only started since moving field.I drive past at various points in the day and have never seen anyone in there.Hacking is really stressful with him,he was never brilliant in traffic,but we thought we were making progress, DD2 had to get off today because he was so silly on the road and he was no better in the field,spooking at sheep which he lives with and going bug eyed at another rider going past us.It is meant to be fun at this age and this most definitely isn't.
Oh dear, sounds difficult. The only other suggestion I have is some kind of calmer supplement in his feed.
Yes,he isn't the most straightforward pony in the world.We took him to a busy show today and he was really good.I kept DD2 on the leadrein or close by me as there were huge horses charging everywhere in the collecting rings and I didn't want any accidents,but he was very calm.We did the leadrein games and DD2 got a 1st,and a 3rd,she got a clear round in the jumping and 4th in leadrein showing.
I saw his owner there and she told me not to strip graze him any more,but to leave him on the grass he's eaten down to see if that helps.She is also coming over twice a week to give DD2 some lessons to boost her confidence and improve her seat.I might buy some Mag ox and see if that helps too.
On the plus side,DD1 won 1st place in First Ridden,and won a cup,and also got a 1st in the bending race and 2nd and 3rd in 2 other races.I was particularly pleased as someone who used to spend a lot of time telling me that dpony wasn't very good and that I should sell her as soon as I could and buy something 'better' was there to witness dpony's triumph.
Argh, typed you a message then lost it. Sounds like you've all had a fantastic day and everyone's done well. Bet you were so pleased at showing the horrible person who told you to get rid that they were wrong, like the icing on the cake.
Your pony certainly seems to be a 'character' (being polite ).
Go Mirage's girls! Green ponies are a rollercoaster IME but if DD2 is still happy with him on the ground, well worth persevering with.
All good here, DD is much too tall for dpony butr after much angst we are sticking with him as she's still well within his weight carrying ability. He is such a superstar and although we've had offers for him I really want his next home to be long term as he deserves it. Went to our local XC course today and he jumped his heart out (whilst demonstrating just how excited he was by bouncing on the spot) so have left him to chill out in the field until a dressage lesson on Wednesday.

Although the tawdry videos that cost U.S. Navy Capt. Owen Honors his position on the USS Enterprise as of Tuesday weren't exactly top secret before, they clearly had enough of a shelf life to generate a fresh scandal—and to spur the Pentagon to tuck Honors away in an administrative post.
Here we have The Guardian's account, complete with a rather overstated reference to a certain popular science fiction series. —KA
The Guardian:
Perhaps Captain Owen Honors imagined he was in outer space. The commander of the USS Enterprise – not the Star Trek starship but a nuclear-powered American warship – boldly went where no sensible American navy officer would venture in the 21st century with a series of video "entertainments" for his crew that included insulting gay people, appearing with two women in the shower and plenty of simulated masturbation.
Now Honors has been dismissed as captain after one of the crew complained and the navy branded the videos, shown on the Enterprise in 2006 and 2007, "not acceptable".
Disembarking: As of Tuesday afternoon, this official photo of Capt. Owen Honors was still featured on the USS Enterprise's website.

Alcohols, ethers, epoxides, sulfides
Alcohol and thiol groups are important functional groups for applications ranging from enzyme reactions to making flexible contact lenses. We will be reviewing naming oxygen and sulfur containing compounds. Then we will be ready to learn about some reactions that involve alcohols, ethers, epoxides, thiols, and sulfides as both reactants and products.
It can clean a wound or kill your liver. Some religions ban it, others use it in their sacred rites. In this tutorial, Sal and Jay name molecules containing alcohol groups and discuss their properties.
In this tutorial, Jay shows how to synthesize alcohols using sodium borohydride, lithium aluminum hydride, and grignard reagents.
In this tutorial, Jay assigns oxidation states to alcohols, shows an oxidation mechanism using the Jones reagent, shows the formation of nitrate esters from alcohols, and demonstrates how to make alkyl halides from alcohols. Biochemical redox reactions are also discussed.
In this tutorial, Sal and Jay name ethers and discuss the physical properties of ethers.
In this tutorial, Jay shows how to synthesize ethers using the Williamson ether synthesis and how to cleave an ether linkage using acid.
In this tutorial, Sal and Jay name epoxides. Jay also shows the preparation of epoxides and includes the stereochemistry of the reaction.
In this tutorial, Sal and Jay show the SN1 and SN2 ring opening reactions of epoxides.
In this tutorial, Jay shows how to prepare sulfides from thiols.

Exotic Car Buyers Guide: duPont REGISTRY vs. AskMen.com
Best New Exotic
duPont REGISTRY: Spyker C8 Spyder
AskMen.com: Spyker C8 Spyder
When BMW launches new models, we're generally pleased. Even still, When's the M version due? is always in the backs of our minds. When the 6-Series coupe arrived, there was no question that it was a fine car in its own right. But if good performance is good, great performance is greater.
So why do we disagree with duPont in Best Performance Coupe honors? Because Aston Martin followed through with their promise to enthusiasts (or threat to competitors) to offer a leaner, less stratospherically-priced model. In fact, there is serious talk of the V8 Vantage being a strong alternative to the venerable Porsche 911. The V8 Vantage fits within the footprint of the 911 (and well within that of the M6) and dishes comparable performance. In terms of appearance, it carries the cues of its bigger brothers, but in slimmer, fighting trim. For us, that's a huge part of its appeal. While we applaud the technology Aston Martin packs into the DB9 and Vanquish, there's a little luddite in all of us that likes to shift gears... manually... using a clutch in the process, along with all the other do-it-yourself aspects of active driving. The V8 Vantage indulges those urges and, at around $110,000, it's fiscally satisfying as well.
The guys at duPont love the next ride, but Paris Hilton killed it for us...

If you are involved in a domestic violence case, you may want to hire an experienced domestic violence (DV) lawyer. A DV attorney can help protect you if you or your family have been the victim of domestic violence. An attorney can file restraining orders and make changes to your child custody agreement in order to protect you and your family. Conversely, if you have been accused of physically or mentally threatening someone close to you (e.g., a family member, boyfriend, girlfriend, or partner), you should contact a lawyer with experience in domestic violence cases. DV lawyers can also defend you against false accusations of domestic violence, which might otherwise put you at a disadvantage in divorce or child custody negotiations.

WHILE economists are not lining up to congratulate Bob Dole on his plan to cut taxes even as he proposes a constitutional amendment to balance the budget, many do admire his skill in snaking a path between the deficit hawks in the Republican Party and the what-me-worry supply-siders.
But whether or not Mr. Dole is ever in a position to try to implement his plan, there is still a price to pay. For in suggesting that the American economy can painlessly grow its way out of its fiscal problems, Mr. Dole is postponing the day Americans face up to the gap between what they expect from Government and what they are willing to pay for it. ''He's setting the debate about what to do with Social Security and Medicare back five years,'' argued Paul Krugman, an economist at Stanford University.
Veterans of the Washington budget wars will recognize Mr. Dole's subtle technique in fashioning a hypothetical budget that honors all the graven images. There's a 15 percent income-tax cut and a break on Social Security earnings for the middle class, a $500-a-child tax credit and retirement accounts for homemakers to please the family lobby, capital-gains reductions for the rich and education incentives to cheer the proponents of investment in ''human capital.''
To cover the cost of the $548 billion in tax breaks and reduce the deficit to zero over six years, he asserts that $147 billion will come back as a growth dividend. That's almost double what Joel Slemrod, an economist at the University of Michigan Business School thinks is likely. But unlike Reagan-era claims that tax cuts would pay for themselves, it does at least pass the laugh test.Continue reading the main story
Then there's the invocation of the time-honored tradition that David Stockman, Ronald Reagan's budget director, called ''the magic asterisk.'' Spending is supposed to be reduced by $393 billion by implementing the Republican budget plan that was vetoed by President Clinton and that cost Congressional Republicans much of their political popularity. Another $217 billion in cuts are proposed, but the details are nearly as hazy as Mr. Stockman's phantom cuts.
Among the least plausible: $90 billion in ''administrative costs'' that, by default, would have to come out of all the agencies that have already been slimmed down. Then, among other proposals, there's another $32 billion from the Energy Department, which is more than the total now budgeted for its nondefense activities, and $15 billion from the Commerce Department, which might well require the gutting of the National Weather Service.
All this may be forgivable by the doubly debased standards of campaign and budget politics. What Mr. Krugman does not forgive, though, is the implication that six years is as far as one has to look. For even if Mr. Dole managed to balance the budget in 2002 after cutting taxes, the country would soon be drowning in red ink again.
According to the Congressional Budget Office, the projected annual deficit rises by $118 billion from 2002 to 2006. Thereafter, things really begin to cook. For even if the budget were balanced in 2002 and discretionary spending was frozen in real terms, if nothing was done to alter current benefit policies, the deficit would rise from about 1 percent of total national output in 2006 to 6 percent in 2020 and to 17 percent in 2050.
The explanation is simple. Revenues from Social Security and Medicare payroll taxes currently exceed outlays, but this surplus will begin to fall in little more than a decade. Unless expenditures are checked or taxes are increased sharply, they will push the budget deeply into the red by the second decade of the next century. And the effect will be magnified by the need to service the ballooning national debt: interest payments, now 3 percent of G.D.P., are projected under that scenario to reach 14 percent in 2050.
Mr. Dole's opponents are equally guilty of ignoring the long-term budget arithmetic. After all, Democrats made political hay of the Congressional Republicans' tentative steps toward containing the relentless rise in Medicare costs.
But the Republican candidate raises the ante by proposing big tax cuts and by taking Medicare, Social Security and military spending ''off the table.'' More important, by setting 3.5 percent economic growth as a target, he suggests that the hard budgetary decisions will never have to be made. For if the economy were to grow that fast over the next 50 years, rather than the roughly 2 percent projected by the C.B.O., Washington would be swimming in revenue.
Robert Reischauer, the former director of the C.B.O., noted wryly that the irony here was that anti-tax Republicans might actually promote the growth of government by playing budget politics as usual. The longer Washington waits to decide how to pay for projected deficits, he argues, the more likely they will be financed with tax increases. After all, the less warning the baby boomers have, the harder it will be to ask them to cover their retirement costs from their own savings.Continue reading the main story

A VICTORIAN surfer survived 25 days locked in a notorious Democratic Republic of the Congo prison after a travelling adventure went horribly wrong.
It took an extraordinary diplomatic effort by three nations - and the help of his mother - to make sure Jayden Irving made it safely home.
The 22 year-old from Carrum Downs feared he would die in a cell harbouring mass murderers, warlords and the central African regime's political enemies.
A relatively innocuous issue with his visa turned into a string of bizarre accusations that the lifesaver was plotting to bomb the president or even interfere with the country's fibre-optic cable network.
The first Mr Irving's parents knew of his plight was when he bribed a guard to send a distressing text message.
"Hey mum its your son," he wrote. "im in jail again cos congo doesn't like me, But this time it can be much more than 5 days."
His only contact with the outside world was an Australian diplomat from our embassy in Harare, Zimbabwe.
She brought him food and lobbied for his release.
How Mr Irving came to the attention of the DRC's notorious intelligence unit, Agence Nationale de Renseignements, was a mixture of bad luck and poor timing.
His story begins early last year when he hatched a plan to hitchhike along the west coast of Africa, finding and surfing the region's remote beaches.
Friends were aghast that he would want to travel through Africa's most troubled and war-torn countries.
"I tried to coax a bunch of different friends along with me but they were all like, 'You are an idiot, it's dangerous, you are going to die'," Mr Irving said.
The free spirit set off for South Africa alone in February last year. There, at a hostel near the surfing mecca of Jefferys Bay, he convinced local Lydon Alves to join him.
On their seven-month journey the pair managed to talk and charm their way into areas where most white foreigners are forbidden.
Then they reached the troubled Democratic Republic of the Congo, Africa's second-largest country with a population of 75 million. The former Zaire was torn apart by civil war from 1998-2007 and saw five million people killed.
There is still violent dissent and high crime rates. The Australian Government advises against all travel.
The two surfers travelled like locals, spending three days on the back of an overcrowded truck with their surfboards and then weeks wading through thick jungle to reach the DRC's tiny strip of seafront on Africa's west coast.
They met about "three white people".
"We were roughing it big time - Westerners back to a Third World standard of living," Mr Irving said.
When they finally reached the DRC beaches in early September last year they set up camp in Muanda.
Unwittingly, they were very near the beach house of President Joseph Kabila.
The DRC was preparing for a high-level meeting of Francophile leaders and security services were on high alert. The presence of two white men quickly drew the attention of authorities.
"The three white people we had met were all businessmen. So us two ruffians were assumed to be mercenaries," Mr Irving said.
The pair were soon confronted at their beachside camp by men brandishing AK47s, beating them and screaming in French for them to get in a car. The gunmen - from immigration - refused to show ID and the surfers feared being driven off and executed.
Mr Irving refused to get in the car, casually offering bribes to his interrogators. But this was rebuffed.
"When they didn't want money we really thought we were in trouble," Mr Irving said.
"Every customs official that comes to us wanted money. It was called the 'African handshake'.
"That's all I thought these guys wanted."
The local police responded to the commotion and convinced the travellers the officials were legitimate.
It was this run-in and claims of visa irregularities that Mr Irving thinks caused of the wild claims of terrorism to be eventually levelled at them.
At first, the surfers were treated as immigration detainees, transferred from police cell to police cell and back to immigration detention in the capital, Kinshasa.
But Mr Irving was not fed for the first two days. With his strength wavering he knew he needed to take drastic action, so he faked a seizure in his cell, forcing guards to provide him with medical attention and a meal of beans and rice.
Twice Mr Irving came close to freedom. On both occasions he was released from the detention centre and boarded a boat to cross the river to Brazzaville, in the neighbouring Republic of the Congo, and each time the boat was recalled and he was arrested again.
It was after that he managed to get word to his parents. And that text message began mum Carole's ordeal. She immediately contacted DFAT and set diplomatic wheels in motion.
"I would go into work and people would ask me why
I was so calm," she said.
"I wasn't calm though.
"I would see a photo of Jayden and think, 'My God, I am never going to see my son again'.
"I wanted to get on a plane and say, 'Give me back my son'."
Back in the DRC, Mr Irving was blindfolded, handcuffed and led by armed guards to the National Intelligence Agency headquarters.
There he was grilled on his travels and eventually shown a picture of a bomb he was alleged to have had at his camp site, but which had been planted.
He was then taken to the intelligence unit's jail.
"The cell was 25 sweaty people in 40C heat walking back and forward, a guy half dead in the corner, and one meal a day," Mr Irving said.
"Occasionally someone would start screaming for no reason. At night you would hear the chanting and prayers of men who are praying that God will kill them because they can't stand the cell anymore."
He was then shifted to a smaller cell where he was treated as a "VIP" with rebel leaders, mass murderers and rapists. It was also a cell from which many prisoners vanished.
"We accepted we would never leave that country or that cell. People don't come back from there," he said.
The savvy traveller had luckily stashed money in his belongings and bribed guards to bring it to him.
"With money I could get extra food from the other prisoners or $US50 would get me the use of a phone."
Any extra supplies he received from the diplomat would be shared among his cellmates to curry favour.
Unbeknown to Mr Irving, the Aussie diplomat had developed a contact who had the ear of the DRC's interior minister.
The political pressure brought to bear by the Australian, Canadian and South Africans to help Mr Irving and Mr Alves are revealed in a string of diplomatic cables seen by the Sunday Herald Sun.
Mr Irving's plight even reached the ears of then-PM Julia Gillard and Foreign Affairs Minister Bob Carr.
Canada took up Mr Irving's cause because Australia does not have an embassy in the DRC. The Canadian ambassador and the Australian diplomat attended meetings with DRC officials.
The Canadians gently reminded the DRC that the country's human rights record would be in the spotlight during the French-speaking summit.
The Australian diplomat even tactfully discussed the Australian Government's aid program before pointedly raising the case of Mr Irving.
In a cable to Canberra, the diplomat outlined her meetings with a DRC official five days before Mr Irving and his mate were released.
"I kept the focus on our bilateral relationship (assistance to the humanitarian crisis via the International Red Cross, scholarships etc)," the cable reads.
"At the end of the meeting, I outlined the case and he agreed that it was something that should be dealt with quickly and said he would brief the minister.
"This matter is now being taken seriously by the people who have the ability to push for it to be resolved," it read.
It was this lobbying and an ultimatum from the South African embassy that the pair be released or charged that eventually secured their freedom.
"I owe my life to anyone involved in the process," Mr Irving said.
"But mostly to my friend (Lydon) who kept my sanity in jail and my mum for calling in the diplomats."
The pair were released on October 5 into the custody of the South African embassy, and put on a plane to Johannesburg.
But it wasn't until he was on his way back to Australia that Jayden and his parents felt he was safe.
Mrs Irving said it was only once he was in her arms that the emotional weight was finally lifted.
"I ran at him and hugged him, squeezed him so tight he could barely breath," she said.
"Then I whacked him and told him never to put me through that again."
Jayden Irving appears on The Mole , on the Seven Network, on Tuesday and Wednesday at 7.30pm and on Thursday at 8pm.

BBQ Church Finale in Wickham
27/11/2013 , 8:21 PM by Tangiora Hinaki
When was the last time you attended BBQ Church?
Is this the first time you have ever heard of this new concept?
It's a unique way of hearing God's word and has been instrumental in bringing out the multitudes from Wickham and Roebourne once a month on a Sunday.
Anglican Minister: Richard Goscombe is responsible for starting this popular service. The community are fed on sausages as well as the word of God and a food bank has been added to the night.
There is a strong focus on the children as well with a special time of singing and ministering at their level of understanding.
One of the young indigenous girls asked for the mic and proudly told people to stop drinking and smoking and look after the children.
The last BBQ church was held on the weekend and a professional photagrapher by the name of Mark Wagenaar travelled from Perth to give out the photos that he had taken at the previous BBQ church night. He is pleased to use his hobby as a ministry gift to serve others.
You can listen to his interview here.

Engine Choice, Please Help
I really don't know how to lay this out, but I'll try. I'm having to make a decision on an engine to put in a race car for a $5,000 to win dirt track race. The type of cars are Stock cars (75-81 Camaros, 75-79 Novas, and 78-86 Monte Carlos) that generally wiegh 3000 pounds. This class usually only pays $300 to win weekly, so I change classes all together, and then they come up with this race. The car I have from last year is a really fast car and had a great chance of winning under last years rules. Last years engine was a stock rotating assembly, Flat tops, 202/160 Vortecs, solid cam 355. It ran well against 6" rods, H beam rods, and light crank 355's. 366 cubic inch limit, no rollers, OEM heads, No Porting and Polishing were the rules. All i have left of that engine are the 1999 model Vortec Heads, Victor Jr intake, carb, and distributor. Here are this years rules.
BLOCKS Cast iron only. Flat top or dish pistons only. NO Chevy 400 blocks
CAM AND VALVETRAIN Any flat tappet cam OK. No mushroom, or roller of any type. No gear or belt driven cams. Screw in studs and guide plates OK. Roller rockers OK.
CYLINDER HEADS Cast Iron only, OEM produced. No porting or polishing.
1). GM straight plug only. Unaltered aftermarket cast iron, no porting, must add 60 lbs. in front of bell housing and car must weigh 3200 lbs.
As you can see, 383's, and 388's etc. are allowed. After Market unaltered Dart, Pro, and World Heads are allowed with a weight penalty. I need help with a engine combo that's not gonna break me.

So I have 3 engine choices with 3 engine prices. I'm not really worried about which one has parts that are supposed to hold up longer, just which one produces the power. There's one 383 with 5.7 rods vs. two 355's with 6" rods and forged pistons. On the 355's? Will the 4340 crank ,and H-beam rods make more horsepower than the I-beam rod, 4140 crank engine. If so, how much? I'm assuming the price difference is coming from the rod and crank difference. I really wanna stay way from the one that cost $3,300(H-beam, 4340 crank), but will the $2,200 keep up with it(I-Beam, 4140 crank). If so, it would be the 6" 355 vs. the 5.7 383, and the rest of their differences(Rods, Crank, Pistons, etc.).
These cars tires aren't that great, and they have no traction devices. Some of the guys who have cheated in the past with 406's, said it did them no good because they couldn't get the traction they needed. I've heard the extra torque that comes with a 383 vs. the 355 is a little harder to hook up on dirt.
Back to the heads, will the 202/160 Vortecs do as well as a set of DART, Pro, or World Heads. Remember with those heads there is a weight penalty, and they have to be unaltered. Is it worth it to buy them if I already have a set of Vortecs.
$1,700 383
$2,300 355
$3,300 355
Free Vortecs
64cc World 200cc $750
64cc Dart 200cc $800
64cc Pro 200cc $750
If you read this, thank you, I need your help.
Torque Monsters
Now I ain't dirt tracked in many a year but seems to me if you are running a short dirt car (3/8's or 1/2 miler) you need torque over horsepower. How much banking do you have in the turns? Those big cube motors need the longer straights to really come on but if you build a motor to the old Camaro 302 z/28 specs you will have all the horses you need plus the God awful torque those things build. I would think the Vortec heads would do nicely since the others are penalty driven and the Vortecs lend themselves well to torque motors. Can you work with tire stagger on the rears? If you can that will get you out of the turns under good power...just slide the rear end around, point the nose to the bottom, turn into the slide and nail it and you should come out form the top of the curve and settle in to the straights about mid track or a little lower. Now this all just opinion but if you will do a little research on the Trans-Am 69 z/28's that Chevy used to factory race you will find that they used to out run bigger cube motors with those little 302's a lot. Anyway for what it is worth thats just my thoughts on the matter. Of course it could just be my Old Timers disease kicking in......

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Posted by Kim
Andre Sailers made a stressful legal situation clear and easy.... He and staff were extremely professional, efficient and compassionate to my family's needs.... In the future, I will utilize his services and most definitely recommend him to others....
Posted by Morris
Attorney Sailers was the perfect lawyer for me in my time of need. Being that i'd never gone through a criminal process before, he really put my mind at ease and helped me navigate the legal system. My case lasted two years, and he was always there if i had a question or a comment. He also gave me his cell # to text him when he was away from the office or after hours. He and his staff was very professional and courteous, and through it all, he helped bring my case to a positive conclusion. I can't thank him enough, and i highly recommend Attorney Sailers and his firm to help with your legal needs.
Posted by Chad
I recently worked with Attorney Sailers and his staff during a personal injury case involving a vehicle accident. The staff was extremely professional and kept me informed throughout the entire process. I was completely satisfied with the outcome of the case and would recommend this firm to anyone looking for professional and timely legal assistance during a difficult time.
Posted by Arnold
Attorney Sailers ably and expeditiously counseled me on a legal matter in February. He had a command of every facet of my case and armed me with information that ultimately led to a favorable resolution of my case. Every phone call was timely returned and his office personnel were always professional and courteous. I absolutely recommend Attorney Sailers to anyone who needs expert counsel at affordable rates.

Your kitchen was well equipped which made it easy to prepare our meals
The view is the most beautiful on the lake!!! The one sunrise we saw was
We hope to gather there again at some future time.
The house was wonderful, location perfect. Owner was wonderful on providing information and so quick to respond to inquiries. Great vacation.
Wonderful view of Greers Ferry Lake. Plenty of room and activities for the whole family.
The views from just about every room were absolutely amazing! The property is very well kept and though there are neighbors it's surrounded by a plethora
of trees so it provides a great deal of privacy. The property was stocked with everything we needed and provided such a relaxing atmosphere. We loved playing pool which sparked a bit of healthy competition between the family. If you visit Fairfield Bay, this property is an absolute must stay.
Everything about this home is perfect for our family gathering. The view is spectacular. Bird watching is great from the top deck. So many sitting areas. The kitchen and bathrooms are well stocked.
The kids (7 total, ages 2-14) had the entire lower level to themselves - pool table convertible to ping pong table, spacious lounging area for Super Smash Bros. Brawl, 2 swings sets on the lower level porch. They only came upstairs for meals.
We went to the pool almost daily. Tubing on the lake and visit to the Blanchard Cavern are must do's. We climbed Sugar Loaf Mountain, went fishing. A lot of fun water activities at the marina. We never left Fairfield Bay because there were too many local fun activities. We saw a nearby horse stable but ran out of time. Didn't have enough time for tennis or golfing either.
We couldn't believe how inexpensive the local entertainment activities were. We went to see Star Trek Beyond and Ice Age: Collision Course, popcorn and drinks included - $53 for 10 people. Spare Time Bowling, including shoes rental - $48 for 8 people.
The local people are super friendly, and everyone loves where they live. We loved driving the smooth winding roads through the mountain.
The owner and property manager are amazing. They kept in touch with us via texting. They went out of their way to make sure our stay was more than perfect.
This is definitely one of our best family vacations! Thanks!
We had a wonderful time in this house and Fairfield Bay! The house was large enough for 7 adults and 3 children! The views from the deck were amazing! We enjoyed 2 days on the Lake and the Fairfield Marina was awesome to work with! We did hike Sugerloaf Mountain and it was beautiful! The guys took a trout fishing trip which they enjoyed and the girls shopped in Heber Springs. We did enjoy the Cool Pool which is close to the house and the guys played some golf. Everyone was friendly and we enjoyed Sunday Worship at Fairfield Bay Baptist Church. The house had everything we needed to enjoy time together. We did enjoy the movies that were available to watch! We played many games and our grandsons loved the ping pong table! Thank you for providing a wonderful place for our family to be all together and create new memories!
Thank you Fred and Lori for sharing your beautiful home with us. This was our 50th Anniversary, we had most of our immediate family with us to celebrate with. We enjoyed bowling, miniature golf, hiking,eating out and cooking on grill on deck, watching fire works display in distance, but most of all just got caught up with visiting and enjoying the beautiful view and peace you feel while there. Our stay was every thing we wanted and more . Very convenient for restaurants, grocery store, church and lots of entertainment. The folder you provided about stuff we needed to know, places to go and things to do was very helpful. We would highly recommend this home to anyone wanting a beautiful, clean, relaxing, spacious place to stay.
The Murphy Family
Fairfield Bay is the perfect base to explore the Ozark Mountain Area.

AN ELDERLY woman who at home listening to her radio late last night is recovering after a violent home invasion by two burglars.
Police said the 77-year-old woman who lives in Garrity St, Tambellup, a township 320km southeast of Perth, was assaulted by a male and a female who forced their way into her home.
The burglars attacked the woman then demanded her car keys and threatened to kill her.
The offenders fled in the victim's car, a 1998 grey Ford Falcon sedan, registration number 1CQU 824.

i'm never into the look of a batwing top right now. it's totally 70s, and a bit rachel zoe.
there is something so rachel zoe about this vest. it's a gryphon vest made from faux fur. of course, if this were totally rachel it would be real fur.

$7 Million In Free Furniture?
Whatever you do, DON'T BET ON THE BRONCOS!
That's what happened in Houston Sunday when self-described gambler, Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngale, CEO of Gallery Furniture, put it all on Denver in the "Big Game."
The deal...You buy $6,000 or more in furniture in the 2 weeks leading up to the game and if the Seahawks win, SO DO YOU! If the Broncos fall, you get a full refund. Well, about a zillion people took "Mattress" up on it, to the tune of $7,000,000. You keep the furniture and you get the purchase price fully refunded. And, to his credit, Jim paid up!
Says "Mattress Mack," who's been business for 32 years, "We already have people sending us videos of them jumping up and down celebrating, so I have no doubt that what we will lose is already worth it to our business."
So, if we discover that each of the Broncos has 6 grand in new furniture, is something fishy!?! DaveT

My eyes have been driving me crazy lately -- is it just me, or are other people noticing this, too? [Ed. note: Not just you. Tears stream down my face during my morning commute!] Maybe it's because I've spent so much time snowboarding and running in the cold, but I feel like I've got a bad case of spring allergies way before spring's even here. Then I got this news from Mark Ewald, MD, Professor of Ophthalmology at Vanderbilt University: The end of winter can be one of the worst times of year for our baby blues -- or, in my case, browns. Now I see -- through itchy, red eyes, that is.
It turns out, says Ewald, that months of cold, dry air can really take their toll on our peepers, especially if we wear contacts or are already prone to allergies or dry eye. And eye irritation can get even worse when winter begins to transition into spring and early-blooming plants start to bloom, hence why I'm all blurry-eyed now. Plus, windy days increase the risk of flying particles getting in there, while too much time looking at bright white snow (on a ski mountain, for example) can burn your corneas — a condition known as photokeratitis, or snow blindness — resulting in painful and teary eyes several hours later.
Luckily, Ewald says many of these symptoms are preventable. Here are some of his suggestions for keeping our eyes healthy and looking their best, well into warmer weather.
- Use OTC artificial tears to ease the irritation of persistent dry eyes.
- Run a humidifier indoors to moisten the dry air pumped out by your heating system.
- Rock a pair of sunglasses (with UV protection!) — even if it's cloudy — to protect against both wind and the sun's harsh rays. And don't hit the slopes without a good pair of goggles.
- Don't rub your eyes! Rubbing can scratch your cornea, or cause inflammation that disrupts tear production. Instead, blink repeatedly to redistribute fluid and flush out any irritants that may be lurking there.
Of course, once the temperature and humidity rise, we'll have hay fever to worry about. Good thing we've got a plan in place for that, too!

hi its eduardo. this is a poem i have written to show dogster how upset i feel about what happened to my sister, and some kind of mixed idenity
To look at me, by eduardo
to look at me, would you ever know
that im accused of playing
some dog's old beau?
i look inside myself and see
nothing of what i'm accused to be
im just a boy dog, in a family of four
but now my confidence has hit the floor
one day this boxer pawmailed me
saying i had destructed his family
i ruined a marriage?
i broke some hearts?
that is never how i'd use my barks.
to look at me, would you ever think
to some scandal i was linked?
i'm branded with a name i dont know
for this boxer-boy, it must be quite a show
lets hope he is having much fun
while i try to set right
what i haven't done.

U.S. OIL and GAS plc's (Ticker: USOP) core activities are in the USA, with ongoing exploration activity in Nevada where the company holds a large lease acreage.
The Investment Case
- US Oil has confirmed the first discovery of light sweet crude oil in Nevada in approximately 30 years.
- The Eblana #1 exploration well, drilled by U.S. Oil's wholly owned subsidiary Major Oil International LLC, identified nine large potential porous oil reservoir intervals and associated high fracture zones before reaching its target depth of 8,550 feet on 26th May 2012. Testing confirmed two producer zones, approximately 150 feet cumulative net pay, and identified oil of 33 and 28.5 API.
- A May 2013 an independent Competent Person's Report by Forrest Garb & Associates estimates Net Prospective Resources of 282.8 million barrels of Oil-In-Place (P50) for the whole lease area and 19.23 million barrels of recoverable Contingent Resources from the area around the Eblana #1 well.
- Preliminary results from a large-scale reconnaissance Geochemical survey (completed January 2014) of the hitherto unsurveyed lease area indicate large potential hydrocarbon seepage anomalies and multiple faults and traps.
- US Oil & Gas has, compared to oil explorers with similar achievements, a low number of shares in issue.
- US Oil's lease area is close to the highly productive oil field at Railroad Valley (10 miles) and is believed to be geologically comparable in exploration terms.
- The unit cost of extracting oil in Nevada is amongst the lowest anywhere. The Hot Creek Valley lease area is close to a highway and two refineries. As a result, the viability of the field is minimally sensitive to the oil price.
- US OIL's discovery in the US, the world's largest oil market, is situated in one of the most politically stable, well regulated and secure exploration areas in the world.
NOTE: Resource figures are those estimated by Forrest A. Garb & Associates, May 2012.

Fayetteville, AR ~ New here!
Hello everyone!
I'm brand new to this site and forum.
I recently started up a 40B planted community tank and I don't have very many plants to speak of yet. There aren't any good LFS in my area so I'm taking my chances with plants from the chain pet stores until I'm able to buy some plants online. So far everything is still alive, so I may be doing something right after all. This is my first planted tank so I'm still learning.
I've been fishkeeping since 1994 or so and I've had many different freshwater communities, saltwater f/o, fowlr, and a full blown 125g coral reef tank in the past.
This 40B tank is still in the cycling process but it's beginning to clear. I may start a tank thread in a few days with photos.
I have bought plants from Petco and Worlds Under Water. I haven't had problems with either. I don't buy from Petsmart anymore, since all they have now are the ones in the little plastic containers. I have also ordered from aquariumplants.com and from the swap and shop on here. Aquariumplants.com, or other large online retailers, will have the best selection. You can get pretty much everything you want at once. The swap and shop here will usually have much better prices, and some of the rarer plants, but you will probably have to get your plants from several different people. Some of the power sellers do have a decent selection and good prices, so be sure to check out their special sales section.
Post pics of your tank when you get it going. I would post pics of mine, but they look awful. :P

Located on the shores of Lake Erie, this city holds a special place in the state because it is the only port on the Great Lakes. In fact, much of life and tourism in Erie revolves around the sparkling waters of the lake. Erie mixes a Midwestern small-town feel, the personality of a distinctive, thriving city, and long-established accommodations across its neighborhoods.
Erie is the perfect stop on a family vacation. Beaches call to the young and the young at heart; Liberty Park and Lampe Campground are located directly on the lake. The Erie Zoo offers full-fledged adventure with a train ride through the zoo and large botanical gardens. Waldameer Water World is another family favorite found at the base of Presque Isle. From kiddie rides to soaring roller coasters, Waldameer offers laughs for everyone as well as a great way to cool off on hot, mid-summer days.
Erie offers accessible history through its beautifully maintained museums. For a nominal admission price, the Erie Art Museum boasts a collection of over 5,000 pieces and also hosts traveling collections throughout the year. The Erie Maritime Museum is located on the waterfront and houses the U.S. Brig Niagara, a flagship from the War of 1812. Children will love the expERIEnce Children's Museum, which houses many hands-on, educational exhibits.
Although Erie may not be the largest city in Pennsylvania, it still has a wide variety of arts options, including the Erie Philharmonic, which offers a pop and symphonic series, as well as the Erie Playhouse, offering several dramas, comedies and musicals throughout the year.
Several minor league teams draw sports enthusiasts to Erie during any month of the year. The Erie Seawolves play baseball at Jerry Uht Park during the summer while the Erie Insurance Arena hosts the BayHawks basketball and Otters hockey teams.
Summer is the best time to visit as Erie comes alive with festivals, beach activities and family-friendly amusements on the lakeside. Average highs in mid-summer are around 80 degrees with cooling breezes. In winter, Lake Erie may freeze over by January, leaving the skies crystal clear and the well-maintained roads free from ice and snow.
The Erie International Airport (ERI) is the nearest airport with only a 12-minute drive to the city center; major airlines, including United, Delta and US Airways, offer daily service.
Those who prefer train travel can pull directly into Union Station in downtown Erie. However, most trains arrive and depart sometime after midnight. For even more budget-friendly travel, visitors can use the Greyhound Bus Station with connections to Buffalo, New York and Cleveland. Drivers have easy access to all of Erie.
The Glass House Inn offers comfortable, tastefully decorated rooms near Presque Isle State Park. The Fairfield Inn by Marriot, conveniently located off the interstate, is a popular choice for business travelers. Accommodations close to the waterfront include the Sheraton Erie Bayfront Hotel with gorgeous lake views, and Homewood Suites for longer stays.
Erie offers warm summers with moderate humidity and cold winters with lots of snow. Spring features some very warm days mixed in with unexpected snow or ice storms. Autumn sees crisp days with prolonged sunshine. Winter squalls occasionally blow in from Canada, picking up a great deal of moisture over the lake.

So here is the problem:I met this really awesome guy on the 21 at my friends birthday party. We went bowling and only seven of us showed up, including this really awesome guy....He has an amazing sense of humor; He is sensitive and good looking.....I have what some might call a good judge of character, and he is one of the nicest guys I have ever met.....And get this, he actually wants to get to know me better! The Catch? He is a bisexual wiccan agnostic.... meaning he believes in magik but does not believe that there is a higher being controlling that magikal stuff...And me, I guess I need a little christian advice considering Im 17 and have never had a boyfriend before... Thanks God bless
Are there any verses in the Bible that specifically warn against this kind of thing?Thanks
Wiccans are all just losers looking for attention. Maybe if you go out with him he'll have the self-confidence to stop being such a nerdy harry-potter thumper. I say date him. It's like that seinfeld episode. Who cares if he's not a christian, he's the one going to hell for it; not you.

I'm beginning to get into swaging. There is a lot to be covered, more than one can post here. I'm in the same boat but have my list of stuff I'm getting.
The basic process is to cut lead wire down to a length and swage it to a certain weight. Then place the core in the jacket and it will seat the core. The next die will form the bullet profile. You can make Open Tip bullets where the bullet core is below the tip or you can make Soft Point bullets where the bullet core is a little longer than the jacket so there is exposed lead (like the Win. Power Point). An addition die is called a lead tip die and it cleans up the lead bullet tip for uniform shape. All of this is explained in great detail on Corbin's site full of pics and diagrams.
Basically if you want to make sub 30cal bullets a strong reloading press like the RC or similar will do the job. A decent swaging press will run $200 and go up to a few thousand dollars for a hydraulic press.
You can use fired 22rimfire cases to make bullet jackets for 22cal centerfire bullets. They will weigh about 50-55gr and the velocity threshold is 3000fps.
There are three companies that cater to swagers. Corbin, his brother Richard at RCE, LLC and CH4D.
RCE, LLChttp://www.rceco.com/
CH4D (left side menu is swaging stuff)http://www.ch4d.com/
Corbin http://www.corbins.com/howto.htm
Spend a lot of time on the Corbin site. There is a hell of a lot of info there.
The dies start at about $225 for the RCE set for one caliber, one bullet type. These are your standard flat base bullets. Corbin dies are expensive and cost around $500-700 for one caliber, one design but you can mix and match dies to make different designs for each caliber. Say you want to make flat base open tip bullets for x caliber. You get the dies. Now you want to make x caliber bullets but with a rebated boattail. You just order a RBT set of two dies for the x caliber and you are all set. Now you can make flat base open tip bullets or rebated boattail open tip bullets. If you want to make soft points, you can order a lead tip die and now you can make, in addition to the other types, a flat base soft point or a rebated boattail soft point bullet. There are also dies for ULD (ultra low drag) bullets.
If you can dream it, you can make it. The bullet makers mostly use Corbin dies themselves.
Lead bullets and half jacketed bullets are easier and only require two dies. I'm going to go with CH4D dies on these as they are cheaper and I like a little variety.
Hope this helps a bit.

Emily and Joseph 's Wedding
"I worked with Krista for over a year on this wedding. She did a great job of setting up meetings with vendors that were within my budget! I was out of town, so I was only able to come in town once a month to plan. She would set aside the whole time just to plan my wedding! And on the day of the wedding, there may have been unexpected crises, but I didn't know about them. She was amazingly organized and efficient, as was her assitant Jaime! They were wonderful! I wouldn't have changed a thing about my wedding, and she is largely to thank for that!"
