Configure Outlook 2007 for Windows XP
Use Outlook's "New Account" wizard and configure the client to access the SCS Corvid server:
- Select the "Tools" menu item and the "Account Settings" option. This procedure will bring up a dialog box that allows you to add a new e-mail account, as below at right.
- Click the "New" button
- In the "Auto Account Setup" window, check the box next to "Manually configure server settings or additional server types," then click "Next"
- In the "Choose E-mail Service" window, select "Internet E-mail," then click "Next"
- For "Your Name" in the "Internet E-mail Settings" window, enter your first and last name as you prefer to see it on outgoing e-mail. For your "E-mail Address," enter your preferred SCS e-mail address, normally your SCS userid with an optional plus sign, if necessary, and the domain name "cs.cmu.edu." SCS member Harry Bovik, for example, would most likely enter "email@example.com."
- For "Account Type," select "IMAP." Always set "Incoming mail server (IMAP)" to "imap.srv.cs.cmu.edu" and "Outgoing mail server (SMTP)" to "smtp.srv.cs.cmu.edu."
- Under "Logon Information," enter your SCS account name, e.g. "bovik". If you prefer to have your e-mail password cached (that is, stored locally on your machine), you can check the "Remember password" box and enter your Kerberos .mail instance password. Note: This procedure is not secure. Anyone who can access your computer can then read your e-mail and send mail as you.
- Click the "More Settings" button
- Click the "Outgoing Server" tab, then check the box next to "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication"
- Select the button next to "Use same settings as my incoming mail server"
- Click the "Advanced" tab
- Select "TLS" for both incoming and outgoing encryption, and change the "Outgoing server (SMTP)" port to "587"
- Move the "Server Timeout" slider completely to the right to change the timeout to "10 minutes," then click "OK"
- Finally, you will see a "Congratulations!" screen indicating that your account has been set up. Click "Finished" to complete the process.
Common Problems and SolutionsThis section notes several difficulties that users have reported while configuring Outlook to use the Corvid server. As always, feel free to contact the SCS HelpDesk, <email@example.com> or x8-4231, with any questions or problems.
Outlook asks you to confirm a security certificate when startedBecause the Corvid server now supports SSL for secure connections between your client and the server, you may get an "Internet Security Warning" whenever you start Outlook.
You can click the "Yes" button to continue using Outlook, and you can avoid this problem in future sessions by downloading and installing the CMU CA Server certificate [offsite link, opens in a new window].
At page right, right-click the "Download Certificates" link. On the next page, select and right-click the appropriate link for your system. Select "Save target as" and choose a temporary location for the certificate file (your desktop, for example). Then click "OK" to save it.
When you have the file, double-click its icon to bring up the "Certificate Information" window. Click the "Install Certificate..." button and accept all defaults throughout the wizard. Once you have the CMU Certification Authority root certificate on your machine, you will no longer get the warning.

Auditions for The Dining Room
6:30 PM until 8:00 PM
Description: The Lake State Theater Dept. is holding auditions for A. R. Gurney's "The Dining Room." No experience or preparation is necessary. For those who are interested in working back stage, please stop at the same audition times and fill out a crew form. Students can earn credit by participating in the production! The play is set in the dining room of a typical well-to-do household, the place where the family assembled daily for breakfast and dinner and for special occasions. The action includes a mosaic of interrelated scenes -- some funny, some touching, some rueful. The actors change roles, personalities and ages as they portray a wide variety of characters, from little boys to stern grandfathers, and from giggling teenage girls to Irish housemaids. Each vignette introduces a new set of people and events; a father lectures his son on grammar and politics; a boy returns from boarding school to discover his mother's infidelity; a senile grandmother doesn't recognize her own sons at Christmas dinner; a daughter, her marriage a shambles, pleads futilely to return home, and more. This play is big on humor and abundant humanity.
Location: Arts Center Theater

"I think it's awesome that Rally America and NBC Sports have come together this season," said Ken Block of Hoonigan Racing Division. "Bringing stage rally in America to TV is a huge step forward not only for the sport but for the fans as well. I'm stoked that family and friends will now have an easier time watching me compete in the sport that I love."
NBC Sports has quickly moved into the forefront of motorsports coverage having recently signed a 10-year contract with NASCAR beginning in 2015. NBC Sports Network is also quickly adding various other motorsports programming opportunities rounding out their already impressive line up.
Rally America continues to attract top driving talent and extreme sports icons such as last year's Rally America Champion David Higgins along with Ken Block, Travis Pastrana, Antoine L'Estage and a large group of up and coming competitors in every class.
"I'm very excited about the return of Travis Pastrana to the Rally America National Championship," said Bill Fogg, President of Rally America, Inc. "I think Travis will add to the excitement that David, Ken and Antoine have been delivering to our fans. We have talent coming out of the woodwork in all rally classes and I see more than just these four bringing top notch race excitement to our viewers during the 2014 season."
"This is great news for the Championship at just the right time," added Subaru Rally Team USA's David Higgins. "Getting on NBC will not only get our sport out to those who can't make it to the events, but will also find new fans who may not have experienced one of the best forms of motorsports there is."
There are no ovals, pace cars or rain delays. Rally racing features real cars racing against the clock on closed-off sections of real roads that are usually unpaved and unforgiving. Events can last several days and cover hundreds of miles through rain, snow, day or night. This extreme test of skill, speed and endurance is what makes rally racing the world's premiere and most exciting motor sport, one that is quickly growing in North America.
Follow the Rally America National Championship at www.rally-america.com and for more information, photos and videos as the season progresses.
Rally America is proudly supported by Subaru of America, Inc., Ford Racing, Honda Performance Development, Exedy Racing Clutches, VP Racing Fuels, Streetwise Parts and GoPro.
About Rally America
Based in Williston, VT, Rally America, Inc. sanctions the Rally America National Championship, which consists of eight national-level events in 2014 located at a variety of venues across the country, from Portland, Oregon to Newry, Maine.

NRA provides assistance in creating ranges. Check here:Originally Posted by Trebla
This is a discussion on The guidelines of opening an indoor firearm range. within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; I am very interested in opening an indoor firearm range and would be very grateful to anyone who could share their knowledge of the instructions ...
I am very interested in opening an indoor firearm range and would be very grateful to anyone who could share their knowledge of the instructions & procedures of opening an indoor range. Thanks to all!

Check both state and federal OSHA regulations on air filtering and air quality requirements.
Keep the shotgun handy!!
Two good suggestions already. I would tho tend to think that the final intended purpose will determine how few or many reg's need followed.
If we assume you plan a commercial enterprise then much needs followed and considered - not least being insurance indemnity!!! If for personal use I expect there is less to deal with.
Certainly these days the health aspect is very much more needy of being addressed.

The most important factor to think of is Insurance rates. I thought about doing the same thing but even if you could break even on your first year for the cost of land/building/permits/etc.. the insurance rates would kill ya.
I really would like a state-of-the-art range that doesn't make you buy their expensive ammo. One that operates by the hours posted. One that doesn't have a waiting to shoot list as long as a city block. One that upholds all safety regulations. The Perfect Range!
In addition to the NRA the National Association of Shooting Ranges NASR is a good resource. http://www.rangeinfo.org/
The NRA offers a three day class which gets into the operation of a range. The NASR folks teach you how to run one as a business. They can also put you in contact with ranges in your state so you can learn what you will have to do to be compliant with regulations.
Best of luck. Bring $$$,$$$ cash and $,$$$,$$$ in financing. Although in your area commercial property may be cheaper. There is a very nice shooting facility in PA that took advantage of subsidies and blighted land to get their indoor facility up and running for right around $1 million (Rock Run or something like that). Our estimates in VA were $1.8-3 million at completion of a 20 lane 25 yard indoor facility with a couple classrooms and a modest gun store.
The NRA and NASR can definitely help you with insurance. It's not as high as you might think. I insured a Skeet Range, an 11 position Pistol/Rifle/Shotgun 100 yd outdoor range and an Archery range for about $2500 per year. The 5 acre pond was about $7K per year. Now renting or loaning guns changes the dynamic some, but you can mitigate that in different ways. Just talk with the underwriter about it.
Wow, Oregon must have some rough insurance rates (well, my car insurance is kinda high, never thought about it).
The range here has to have a 10 million dollars policy JUST FOR the range area. It runs them around 12,000 per year (don't know if the range is also set up for class III's if that has something to do about it) and then they had to ensure the employees and the store separetly at 1 million for liability and so much for each million in inventory. Was told that all together, insurance was running around 20,000 per year.
I guess if you got established really quickly, this isn't much of a problem but still, it seems like alot to me.
Eastern PAOriginally Posted by .45acp
you better look at the cost of the building before you get too far into it. i've designed the HVAC system for an indoor range. You better be made of money to both purchase the equipment and pay the operating costs. All these ranges with a tiny fan and furnace will not cut it with today's regulations. My range was 40 lanes and ended up with a $100,000 air handler with energy recovery. Plus the cost of the filters to recirculate some of the air, ductwork, louvers, exhaust fan, several thousand (~$25,000) dollar controls system. Ventilation requirements were from the industrial ventilation handbook, an industry accepted standard as well as OSHA and NIOSH requirements. The conclusion of my feasability study was that opening the facility was not recommended due to cost.
See if there's a local gun club already. I just joined one that has an indoor range, for a very reasonable fee. It's a small club and a small range, but I have the keys and can shoot whenever I want for $3.00 a visit. It's great! Doing it with a small club like that helps to spread out the costs and gets more people involved with shooting. Just a thought.

1. Re: Loging into OSES using Search Service APIJimG Feb 6, 2012 5:37 PM (in response to 867763)I have exactly the same issue.
When I use the provided broswer interface, I get far more results when I log in than when I don't log in.
When I use the api, I get the same results whether or not I log in. I'm only getting the results that are visible to everyone, not the results where my login has access.
2. Re: Loging into OSES using Search Service APIRoger Ford-Oracle Feb 6, 2012 6:07 PM (in response to JimG)Can you post the code you're using? Is it the same as the earlier post?
3. Re: Loging into OSES using Search Service APIJimG Feb 6, 2012 7:23 PM (in response to Roger Ford-Oracle)It's pretty close.
I've written it in C#. The bolded lines are the calls to the webservice.
String strUsername = textBoxUsername.Text.ToString();
String strPassword = textBoxPassword.Text.ToString();
String strSearch = textBoxSearchString.Text.ToString();
OracleSearchResult osr = new OracleSearchResult();
Status stat = new Status();
stat.status = "successful";
String strResults = "";
int nCount = 0;
if (checkBoxLogin.Checked)
strResults = "AttemptingLogin";
textBoxResults.Text = strResults;
stat = oses.login(strUsername, strPassword);
strResults = String.Format("Login {0}", stat.status);
textBoxResults.Text = strResults;
if (stat.status == "successful")
osr = oses.doOracleSimpleSearch(strSearch, 1, 1000, false, false, true);
if (checkBoxLogin.Checked)
nCount = osr.docsReturned;
strResults = String.Format("Query: {0}\r\n", strSearch);
strResults += String.Format("query returned {0} results\r\n", nCount);
for (int i = 0; i < nCount; ++i)
strResults += String.Format(osr.resultElements[ i ].url);
strResults += "\r\n";
textBoxResults.Text = strResults;

4. Re: Loging into OSES using Search Service APIRoger Ford-Oracle Feb 6, 2012 7:25 PM (in response to JimG)Looks OK - are you sure it's going through the login code section?
To display code better wrap it in { code } tags
{ code }
blah blah
{ code }
- without the spaces between the braces and the word code. Will then look like:
Note the start and end tags are the same, there are no slashes or anything.
blah blah
5. Re: Loging into OSES using Search Service APIJimG Feb 6, 2012 7:37 PM (in response to Roger Ford-Oracle)Yes, I'm sure. I single-stepped through the code. And I added the optional login logic after first encountering the problem.
6. Re: Loging into OSES using Search Service APIRoger Ford-Oracle Feb 6, 2012 9:13 PM (in response to JimG)I don't suppose you have two SES servers connected by a load balancer? If that were the case, it would be possible for the login request to go to one server, but the search request to another.
Otherwise, I wonder if perhaps C# is not maintaining the context between the login and the search. I'm not sure how the context is held - I'm guessing there's a cookie involved. Could it be that something is preventing the cookie from being stored?
7. Re: Loging into OSES using Search Service APIJimG Feb 6, 2012 10:35 PM (in response to Roger Ford-Oracle)No, I don't. It is a single instance.
I don't know how the context is maintained either. They are separate calls to login and doOracleSimpleSearch. There is no parameter in the doOracleSimpleSearch method (or any of the doOracle*Search methods) to indicate whether or not to use the login information.
It seems like that may be an oversight in the API to not allow logged in searches?
8. Re: Loging into OSES using Search Service APIJimG Feb 6, 2012 11:55 PM (in response to Roger Ford-Oracle)I discovered that if I dig through the base classes of the instance of the OracleSearchService class there is variable named cookieJar and another one named CookieContainer that are both set to null even after I log in
9. Re: Loging into OSES using Search Service APIJimG Feb 14, 2012 3:50 PM (in response to JimG)Also tried this with a Java application with the same results.
Also experimented with the method setSessionContext() with no luck.
I've captured the HTML stream, and I do see that the server is returninig "Set-Cookie: JSESSIONID=..." with each response, but I don't see that value being sent back from my client on the next call. Since .Net automatically creates the code that builds the response, I don't have direct control over that. Should that be in the SOAP envelope? In the HTML?
Below is the packet that is sent when I call the doOracleSimpleSearch() method:

10. Re: Loging into OSES using Search Service APIJimG Feb 15, 2012 7:35 PM (in response to JimG)Solved! At least in .NET.
I was actually on the right track before. The CookieContainer class must be initialized before logging in.
I found
which describes how to do it in .NET
Also, when using Java, this blog describes how to do it there (my java developer will be trying that approach).

10 Most Useless Exercise Machines
(Photo: Flickr)
Why it's useless: Your hamstrings perform two movements: knee flexion and hip extension. The leg curl machine works only knee flexion, which limits the benefits, says Muelrath.
What to do instead: Choose a machine or movement that works both hamstring functions at once, such as the fitness ball hip raise and curl.
To do: Lie on your back with legs straight, heels on the ball. Raise your hips by pressing your heels into the ball until your legs are straight. Keep your hips raised as you roll the ball in toward you by bending your knees. Continue rolling out and back towards you for 10 to 12 reps.
Why it's useless: Endless side crunches on this pulley machine do nothing for reducing "love handles," as many people believe.
What to do instead: Reducing excess fat around the midsection requires a good sound nutrition plan along with effective moves such as side planks.
To do: Lie on your side with your forearm on the mat under your shoulder, and stack your upper leg directly on top of the lower leg. Rise upward by straightening your body. Hold 20 to 60 seconds, then switch sides. Do three reps on each side.
Why it's useless: This donkey kick machine is an unnatural movement, says Tom Holland, MS, CSCS, a Connecticut based personal trainer and author of Beat the Gym. "The idea is to spot reduce the glutes, which isn't going to happen."
What to do instead: A better choice are squats, which use your own body weight. "Squats get the glutes as well as the hamstrings and are a much more productive exercise," says Holland
To do: Stand with feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, arms straight in front of you, parallel to the ground, or clasped behind your head. Keep head up as you bend at the knees and hips and lower into a squat position until thighs are parallel to the ground (or as low as you can without lifting your heels). Pause and slowly raise back up to starting position. Repeat for two to three sets of 12 to 15 reps.
More from Prevention: 4 Amazing Butt Moves
Why it's useless: The shoulder joint is easily prone to injury, especially in this unstable overhead move, says Muelrath.
What to do instead: Challenge shoulder muscles with less injury risk by doing lateral dumbbell raises.
To do: Grasp dumbbells and stand with palms together in front of thighs, elbows slightly bent. Raise arms up and out to the sides until elbows are at shoulder height; pause and return to starting position. Repeat 10 to 12 times.
Why it's useless: This move targets the hip flexors, which are not involved in abdominal development, says Muelrath. "It also creates a lot of stress on the spine."
What to do instead: Target abdominal muscles by working to stabilize your body position with planks.
To do: Lie facedown on the floor and prop yourself up on your forearms; extend your legs behind you until your body is parallel to the floor. Engage your core by drawing your stomach back and up towards your spine and hold; start with 10 seconds and work your way up to 60 seconds for two to three reps. (See the move in motion with this quick video demonstration.)
Why it's useless: The twisting motion of this machine is touted as a way to banish a "muffin top." "This machine doesn't activate the muscles in the correct way, and the potential for injury risk is high," says
What to do instead: Try a standing cable rotation using rubber exercise tubing.
To do: Stand in a slightly wider than shoulder-width stance and grasp the handles of the pulley or tubing with both hands, your side toward the tubing attachment point, arms straight in front of you. Tighten your abdominal muscles and rotate your upper torso as you pull the tubing away from its origin. Slowly return to starting position. Repeat 10 times, then switch sides.
Why it's useless: The Smith machine, a multi-purpose machine using a bar attached to a sliding sled, is used for upright rows. But pulling the bar up and under the chin in this way compresses nerves in the shoulder area and can lead to inflammation, says Muelrath.
What to do instead: Strengthen the same muscles without the injury risk with dumbbell front raises.
To do: Hold onto dumbbells and stand with arms straight, palms facing your thighs. Alternately raise one dumbbell to shoulder height; pause and lower. Repeat with other arm. Perform 10 to 12 reps each arm.
Why it's useless: Sitting and extending legs out to a horizontal position is simply not functional, says
What to do instead: Choose an exercise that targets many leg muscles at once, such as lunges.
To do: Stand with dumbbells or your hands on your hips. Step forward with your left foot, landing on the heel then forefoot and lowering yourself towards the floor. Both knees should be bent at a 45-degree angle. Return to original position by extending your left knee and hip. Alternate sides for 10 to 15 reps each leg. (Sore knees? Try these gentle knee-saving exercises.)
Why it's useless: This machine appears to work the inner and outer thigh muscles, but you won't get out of it what you want, says
What to do instead: Aside from losing weight to reduce body fat,
Why it's useless: The ab machine can be awkward at best, and injurious at worst, says
What to do instead: Planks offer a much more natural alternative to build strength, says

Remember who you are, you are a child of the King, And have rights to the kingdom the day you got born again. Remember to pray with your wife.
Gentle, meek, and kind prayers to and for all that pertain to you, my brother.
May the Lord hear you in the day of trouble, the Name of God defending you. Send you help from the Sanctuary, strengthen you out of Zion.
Fair weather,
Bust Frances
Wow! Brenda, those are some powerful prayers.Please add western NC to your prayer list. We''ve not gotten the national media attention like Florida, for obvious reasons, but we are experiencing some very difficult times here.
During the last remnants of "Charley" major flooding occured with many counties experiencing 8" - 17" of rainfall in only a few hours.Many have lost their homes,and belongings. The city of Asheville was without water for a week due to a sink hole that broke two major water delivery pipes from the resevoir.The small "Charles Dickens" like area of Asheville known as "Biltmore Village" had 4 ft.of water flooding the buildings.Here in the mountains,we are usually shielded from most natural disasters.I''ve lived here 26 years and have never seen flooding like this before.There is "higher ground," but I can''t reach it yet ;^)
Last night, we again experienced winds of 40 - 50+ mph, with torrential rain.Power lines and large trees are down in most of the area.We hadn''t recovered from the last flooding, making this one even worse.
I keep my boat on a lake in upstate SC.I believe they had major problems also.I don''t know the condition of my boat, but hopefully she''s o.k. Our prayers are with all that were in the path of "Ivan-the terrible," as well as the other hurricanes.
Bust Frances
Aye, Stede,
Indeed I am. And here is my report;
I haven''t really fought hurricanes much before this, even as I posted on the thread Perfect Storm. So this is the beginning of my Hurricane Fighting Chronicles.
When hurricane Isabell came through last year I was watching TWC. It was 8ish around here, maybe 9ish. And I said within myself, I can stop this storm! And I knew it.
I was alone, and the Holy Spirit came to me, right into the LR where I was and said;
"Speak against this storm."
Stede, you are not going to believe what I said to Him.
I said "No. I''m not going to speak against this storm. Even if I did, the people will not give You glory." I was so jealous for His glory. For Him to be magnified.
Then He left me. And in an instant, the moment He left, TWC person said "Somethings happened!" (That''s always what the media says when God does something and they can''t explain it. They either say, somethings happened, or, there must be a higher power.)
They said "Somethings happened, the storm instantly came down to a cat 2." The storm was a cat 4 or 5 at the time.
And I felt real strange. like I''d missed out on something big. So, I repented and watched as the people thanked God, The God of heaven, that the storm came in only at a cat 2 and not higher.
As time progressed, POPI makes this post about Charley. I look and sure enough, there was Charley. So I start praying. I''m on my face before God, praying, and I don''t hear anything.
TWC''s on and I''m watching this storm progress. I''m praying, and watching. Praying and watching. And everything I say for Charley to do, he does the opposite. And it was as though the finger of God came upon my tv screen and showed me where the storm was coming in. I said "NO, POPI''s there." So I resolved in my heart to pray for POPI and thank God He was not directly hit.
And I like a little child that goes to her Father said, "God, what happened?" And the scriptures that tell about when Peter got out of the boat, came to mind. Remember what Jesus say to him after that?
Now Frances came up, I resolved not to keep my eyes on the storm. But posted a prayer publicly knowing that if one, just one righteous man would agree with me from his/her heart, all would be well.
Frances was huge, and she came in at a cat 2, down from a 4 or 5. So I considered this to be somewhat successful, considering Isabell, and Charley.
Then comes Ivan. And I''m not leaving anything to chance.
He''s threatening Jamaica, Cuba, and Florida, all at the same time. But first let''s take the most immidiate threat. Jamaica. He''s already plowed through Grenada. So I pray. I pray and watch. Laboring to keep my eyes on Jesus.
I pray throughout the day and before I go to bed at night. Making my petition to Almighty God, on behalf of the people. I go to sleep in peace, and wake up to the headlines "Jamaica Spared".
Yeah, Victory in Jesus!! Not only was Jamaica spared, but so was Cuba, and Florida at that moment.
Did you see that???
The eye of Ivan goes perfectly around Jamaica! And the course of the storm was changed. It did not go straight up through Jamaica, Cuba, and to the whole of Fl like it was predicted. Yes!!!
Grand Cayman Ilse is next, and I pray. I wake up the next day and the eye barely grazes the isle, but wobbles again around it!!! This is sweet, yeah, I''m happy!
It goes through the Yucatan Waterway and into the Gulf and as it does Jeanne pops up.
(I haven''t prayed against Jeanne much.)
Still focussed on Ivan, I didn''t pray hard against him after that because I have this feeling. I went to go to Sabine Pass to fight from there, but 87 was closed from High Island for 20 mi since March of this yr. So I went to a park, and watched from there. I could see the huge waves in the distance and 3 fishing boats with their birds down. And my heart....... longed to be out there...... with them.
Concerning the signs of the times, You are right my brother. A few weeks ago, I read what Jesus said. "And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity;
the sea and the waves roaring;
Mens hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
And when you see these things BEGIN to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
He''s coming!!! You can count on it.
Each morning when we wake up, and we are still breathing, God has given us a new day, a new chance, new mercies that fail not. They are there for each and every human being walking or sailing the face of the earth.
Many people have died in these storms. Their eternal course cannot be altered, if they have not repented and believed on the only begotten Son of the Living God, Jesus, having been told, they have sailed their souls into the lake that burns with fire. Not a pretty picture.
But if they have, they are in paradise, forever. Drinking, and sailing in the river of His pleasures.
Sail on, Fair Winds!!!!!
Bust Frances
Good to see you''re still standing after that reckless verbal gybe.
Many discern a red sky in the morning, but few discern the signs of the times.
Sail on the "True" course my sister. Fair winds!
Bust Frances
Thanks for the prayer and for those that were offended I am sorry. I have never found myself to be in a position where I would turn down the giving of a prayer. My temple is in my heart and the world is at my door step.A prayer for those in danger I feel is not out of place.
Bust Frances
I go out of town for a few and come back to this? Sasha, you are not invited to any of my parties!
Kyle, thanks for agreeing! You may have help kept Frances from being a 3, 4, or 5. Keep up the good work!
Starcresto, Only the precious blood of Jesus can wash away our sins.
Stede, Thanks, I love it!
Pi, I love your prayer, and respect your position. Thanks!
Bust Frances
Some of us love the sea for just who she is. She takes no crap and gives no quarter. We wouldnt want it any other way. We wouldnt bother the Lord with such trivial matters as the course of a storm, but we would use our seamanship skills to be as prepared for its strike as possible. But for those of you in harms way I offer this prayer from the oldest seaport in the United States:
They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;
These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.
For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.
They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.
They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits'' end.
Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.
He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.
Psalms 107
Good Luck!
Bust Frances
Why, I believe you might. We share a love of verbal banter. Perhaps it''s something you''ve inherited from your father?
Bust Frances
I feel akin to your thoughts....do I know you...
Bust Frances
Thanks for the posting I love the tune and remember "The Perfect Storm" each time and I pray for all of those in parel''s path.

ACC remains all-powerful in hoops with Louisville-Maryland swap
The ACC didn't waste much time after losing Maryland to the Big Ten last week. The league voted to add Louisville on Wednesday morning -- which signifies two things: It'll still become the best hoops league in America and the Big East continues to take hits in an effort to remain strong.
|Adding Rick Pitino's Cardinals is a big coup for the ACC. (US Presswire)
It didn't take long for the ACC to find a replacement for Maryland .
Less than a week after the Terps decided to bolt the league for the Big Ten, commissioner John Swofford has added Louisville with the blessing of the league's presidents and chancellors -- who voted early Wednesday morning to add the Cardinals.
Not a bad swap at all.
Louisville is strong is both football and basketball, has one of the nation's largest athletic budgets and also gives the league a brand-new geographic market. The football program is set to go to its third consecutive bowl game under Charlie Strong while the men's basketball program went to the Final Four last season, has a beautiful new facility and is a national title contender this year.
|More on realignment
|More college hoops coverage
It's one of the Top 10 college basketball programs in the nation -- even when Rick Pitino does decide to retire. Pitino just inked an extension through 2022, and Louisville should be able to pluck an elite-level coach when he does decide to call it quits because of the support and ability to consistently compete for championships.
Louisville was obviously concerned -- and rightfully so -- about the future of the Big East. The league has now lost six members to the ACC over the years, has added a half-dozen from Conference USA -- and also watched Rutgers leave last week to the Big Ten. Louisville athletic director Tom Jurich was aggressive in his pursuit of the ACC -- and the Cardinals edged out UConn and Cincinnati, two other Big East schools mentioned as possibilities to become the 14th member of the league.
Rick Pitino told CBSSports.com that he was ecstatic about the move and remained unclear when the Cardinals will officially enter the ACC. There is a $10 million exit fee and 27 months notice, but look for Louisville to negotiate an earlier withdrawal from the Big East, perhaps as soon as next year.
"It's great for our program," he said.
From a basketball-perspective, the move ensures that the ACC will be the strongest league in the nation while the Big East continues to struggle. With Duke, North Carolina, Louisville and Syracuse, that's four perennial Final Four contenders. The league has also added Pittsburgh, and Notre Dame for all sports except football.
The Big East, on the other hand, may soon have a decision to make under new commissioner Mike Aresco. It will add Memphis, Temple, SMU, Houston, Central Florida next season for basketball and recently decided to add Tulane as well.
"We're not finished," Mike Aresco said recently. "We obviously have some other plans for expansion."
Or division.
The basketball-only schools -- DePaul, Georgetown, Marquette, Providence, St. John's, Seton Hall and Villanova -- will soon have a decision to make. League members are getting plucked at a rapid pace and Aresco, who recently came over from CBS Sports, may not be able to hold it together with scotch tape for much longer.
The ACC, on the other hand, could decide to add two more programs -- such as UConn or Cincinnati -- or sit tight for a while and see what else happens around the country. In the world of realignment, no one appears safe.

48,000km Service YEOW!
Ok, sitting down folks.... Came to a grand total of $1348.95... about $300 more than I thought, for that you get the tranny oil and filter changed, as well as the engine oil and filter, an air filter and a whole bunch of spark plugs + wheel rotation and the usual checks.... Oh yeah, There was a software up grade for the wireless, to prevent it flattening the battery.... Although mines been fine so far..... Thought I did read something about flat batteries out there someplace, so this might help.... Anyway be warned, start saving......
Re: 48,000km Service YEOW!
Re: 48,000km Service YEOW!
Maybe JEEP stands for Just Expect Exhoribitant Prices!
Re: 48,000km Service YEOW!
That's why I service my own vehicles...
Re: 48,000km Service YEOW!
Getting the first 2 years or 48,000k servicing free = win!
I used to service my own cars too; but that was when there was more metal under the bonnet than plastic.. ;)
Re: 48,000km Service YEOW!
mm mine is just over 6 months and already 24000km service next week.
Mite look at ordering plugs from the US.
Jefferson how much did they charge for the plugs? do they list the part number?
Re: 48,000km Service YEOW!
Go to this page and print out the coupon. Your Mopar oil filter will be free with your service.
It might only save $50, but every bit counts.
Re: 48,000km Service YEOW!
This is all I could find about plugs, doesn't mention CRD:
3.6 V6 Pentastar (2011-up)
Mopar p/n SP149125AD (Champion RER8ZWYCB4)
(.043 gap, 6 plugs, tighten to 13 ft. lbs.)
WARNING: 12mm SPARK PLUGS MUST NOT BE OVER-TORQUED. The 3.6L Pentastar engine is the first Chrysler engine to use 12mm spark plugs. With the introduction of this smaller spark plug is a concern that can occur usually not seen with larger 14mm plugs. When the smaller 12mm spark plugs are over-torqued, the metal shell stretches, resulting in improper heat transfer from the ceramic through the shell. This in turn can cause engine damage, due to pre-ignition. With a torque wrench, tighten the 12mm spark plugs to 13 ft. lbs. (17.5 N·m).
5.7 V8 Hemi (2011-up)
Mopar p/n 05149177AB (NGK Yttrium ZFR5C11G)
(.043 gap, 16 plugs, tighten to 18.5 - 22 ft. lbs.)
6.4 V8 Hemi (2012-up)
Mopar p/n 05149212AC (NGK single platinum LZTR6AP11EG)
(.043 gap, 16 plugs, tighten to 7.5 - 15 ft. lbs.)
Re: 48,000km Service YEOW!
For that price you could fly me in and I do the work for you.
Re: 48,000km Service YEOW!
Hey Desert, Lets see, plugs came to $12ea, got what I assume is a part number, CHKSPLZFR5C11..... Expensive service eh, I'll do it myself once the warranty is up, the way I'm going it wont be long, 50k in eight months, the thing is every time it goes in there's always some sort of update to be done, and they've fitted heat sheilds, amplifier etc, that I knew nothing about..... So the plan is they'll have everything sorted by the time 100k rolls by.... Optimistic aint I.... Besides we've always got something that needs fixing round here, so to have the Jeep serviced washed and vacuumed is kinda nice .....Still love getting in it every day!
Re: 48,000km Service YEOW!
Jefferson if that is the plug they used it is from the previous model.
They changed the type of plug on the 2011+.
I cant find the new ones online. 05149177AB

text: I was not born in Africa but Africa was born in me..... I wish I could take credit for that quote; because its so true, and now I have "brothers for life" there. I just returned from a hunt with KMG safaris. Im not sure I can fully describe how fantastic the trip was and continues to be for me. About a year ago I started searching for safari firms, luckily KMG was was of my choices. After serveral emails and phone calls we decided to book with KMG. Between my hunting buddy and I, we have hunted Alaska and Canada and a good bit of the US; but Africa was neww to us. In fact it took a bit of convincing to motivate Frank to join me. Once we agreed on the the idea KMG was an easy pick for us. Marius Goosen is the PH behind the operation. Before I started actually planning the safari, I would have told any who asked that I knew all I needed to know about planning my safari. Since I was seven or eight, Ive read everything I could find about hunting in Africa, from Rosevelt, Rouark, Hemingway, Capstick, and even Sullivan (plus many others). Unfortunetly once I actually began planning MY safari, I realized just hoe little I actually did know. During one of my conversations with Marius, I told him this; we joked that I was an expert "cause I read the book". In fact once I admitted that I knew less than nothing the planning could really begin. Scheduling for two, took some work and we eventually decided on late September. We flew out of JFK with a direct flight to Joburg and then transfered to Port Elizabeth. The drive to NYC was something Id rather pass on for my next trip and the airport hotel wasnt high on my list for comfort; but nothing could damper the GREAT time me had on arrival. We took the advice so many of you offered and not only took care of our customs forms well before the trip; and we also had the SAP forms handled by the Profesional Hunters Association. Both of those steps eased our concerns about flying international with guns. Check in at the SAA airlines desk was simple and quick. Of course I packed too much; but managed to stay under the weight limits. Passing through TSA security was another issue. The bottle of water I was drinking was banned and I thought I was in for a full cavity search; but thankfully the TSA agent allowed me to pour it out. Next came the "shoes off and empty your pockets" part. Sure I expected all that; but after the water deal I was on edge. So everything including the wad of cash I was carrying (to pay for the hunt) goes into the bin, then they scanned me. Just when I think Ive passed, the TSA agent calls me over and has my carry-on bag in her hand. Im rushing to grab my belongings and cash when the TSA agent decides my brand new tube of shaving gel is banned and wants me to take it back to baggage. Convincing her to throw it away was an issue but we eventually resolved it and passed the TSA check point. The flight to Joburg was 16 hours. I had a great seat with plenty of leg room; but that came at the cost of no TV screen. Thankfully I brought a good book and everyone near me had headphones to drown out my snoaring.... The SAA crew was wonderful. The meals were delicious and the service was great. Arrival in Joburg was a bit scary, (the last time I was on a flight that long I had a M16 and a parachute...). South Africa Customs was easy and our bags arrived without an issue. We had been advised to have a pocket full of $5.oo bills to "buy cool drinks" for all the airport staff, as it turns out that included some of the SAP folks checking in our rifles. Some may be upset by this; but for me it was just "Africa". Frankly I was happier paying for the friendly service I got then the usual American version of "its over there..." attitude.

Re: fourier,units
rebscher at geo.uni-bonn.de asks
> given: f[I b] = Abs[Fourier[data]]
>now my question:

I read this as;
data = {vector}
f[I w] = Abs[Fourier[data]]
The x-axis and Y-axis units are related to the units of the data. Looking at
real values for data
Given a specific case that I frequently encounter. Having data's y_Values
represent amplitude[time], and each data point's x_Position represents a
uniform increment of time. ( say .001 second for instance) . Then, if the
dimensions of data is 1000. The data set represent f[time] , 0<=time<+1.00.
The fourier component set f[I w] then has the following units; y-values are
still amplitude, they are the real fouier component's (Sqrt[1000]
Realamplitude / 2 ). The first term is the zero order term or average
value. The first 499 terms are equal in reverse order to the last 499 terms
(the . If you plot f[I w ] using only the first 499 terms each x-value
represents an increment of circular frequency (omega), the first f[2] will be
(2 Pi radians/second (or one cycle /sec) the 499th f[50] will be (499 2 Pi)
radians /sec ( 49 cycles /sec).
To represent the correct numerical values for the fourier components the
following shows the correct values
ListPlot[2 Abs[Take[f[I w],{1,500}]]/Sqrt[1000]]
I hope the above makes sense to you

The release should have been as written below in its entirety. Underage Kids Get Hydrocodone Drugs Easily from Family & Friends, Advises New York Center for Living NEW YORK, Jan. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Sunday's front page of The New York Times New York edition headlined, "F.D.A. Likely to Add Limits on Painkillers," and reported that an advisory panel to the Food and Drug Administration voted 19 to 10 to recommend increased restrictions on hydrocodone products, the country's most widely used narcotic painkillers. Painkillers now take the lives of more Americans than heroin and cocaine combined, and since 2008, drug-induced deaths have outstripped those from traffic accidents. Prescription drugs account for about three-quarters of all drug overdose deaths in the United States, with the number of deaths from painkillers quadrupling since 1999, according to federal data. Addiction expert, Dr. Jill Backfield, Executive Director and Director of Clinical Services of The New York Center for Living says, "The relative ease with which teens are able to access the hydrocodone drug makes it prone to misuse and abuse. Many teens have easy access to the unused prescriptions of family members for opiate medication. Even if no one in your family has an opiate prescription, old or new, their friends may be sharing what they find at home." Hydrocodone is the active ingredient in prescribed drugs like Vicodin. Percocet, Percodan and Oxycontin contain oxycodone, another potentially addictive opioid. Teens may use slang references to these drugs such as oxys, hillbilly heroin, OCs, Percs, happy pills and more. Prev 0 of 2 Next

Smart treadmills, fitness kits under the Christmas tree
By Dorene Internicola
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Santa's fitness elves have affixed smartphone technology to home equipment, programmed Tour de France terrain into stationary bikes and stuffed holiday stockings with trendy and functional workout toys.
Home treadmills, those stalwarts of basement exercise intentions, are becoming so sturdy, smart and sophisticated that they're giving the fitness center machines a run for their money, according to Colleen Logan of ICON Fitness, a Utah-based equipment company.
"Consumers can check email, watch news, shop online and do everything they now do with a tablet," Logan said of the new NordicTrack X9i, a home treadmill with an Android browser built into the console. "This is a brick house; a 100-percent gym experience at home."
Technology has revamped the stationary bike as well. The ProForm Tour de France, which inclines and declines to 20 percent, allows the home exerciser virtual access all 21 legs of the Tour de France bicycle race.
"This is really a cycling trainer, not just a stationary bike," Logan explained.
Treadmill, elliptical, stationary bike or stair stepper, before you surprise someone with a big-ticket item, make sure it's one they'll use, advises Jessica Matthews of the American Council on Exercise (ACE).
"When it comes to cardio (machines), be in tune with what they're in tune with," she said. "So much depends on personal preference."
Of course, the smaller the gift, the smaller the worry. Continued...

Top Five New Music Events for a New Year
This may be the year of the rabbit, but it also seems to be a great year for contemporary music. Looking at the next few months, New York is aflame with new festivals, series and ensembles championing contemporary composers world premiers, honoring their beloved modern classics, and uncovering lesser known works from abroad. Here are the top five new music events coming up this winter:
1. No stranger to ambitious projects, the ensemble eighth blackbird has programmed and will perform at the inaugural Tune-in Festival at the Park Avenue Armory from February 16-20. Their program will include the New York – and indoor – premiere of John Luther Adams' Inuksuit, a work first performed outdoors at the Banff Centre in the Canadian Rockies. Joining the Grammy-winning sextet are several contemporary groups performing the music of Steve Reich, Louis Andriessen, John Cage and others.
2. The ambiguously titled Ecstatic Music Festival kicks off on Jan. 17 with a seven-hour marathon of new music ("Yes, we stole the idea from Bang on a Can," admits festival organizer and contributing composer, Judd Greenstein on his blog). The rundown of performances, all at Merkin Hall, does seem to be a who's who of the current music scene, with names like Nico Mulhy, Gabriel Kahane, So Percussion, Missy Mazzoli and Jefferson Friedman crowding the schedule. (Note: Q2 will be webcasting portions of the festival.)
3. The annual FOCUS Festival is an institution, but each year the festival reinvents itself with a look at an under-examined era of musical composition. This year: Polish Modern: New Directions in Polish Music Since 1945. Joel Sachs, as usual, leads a talented cohort of young musicians through a host of Western Hemisphere premieres of Polish music spanning seven decades.
4. Detour, a composer collective started by Angélica Negrón, Brian Mark and Alex Temple in 2009, was named such when the group realized it scheduled its first concert the day of the Bang on a Can marathon. The group continues to follow in the BoaC footsteps, introducing its new music ensemble at the Galapagos Art Space in Dumbo on Jan. 21 with works by Mark and a number of other mostly New York-based composers.
5. Though it spans several centuries of music making, the first Tully Scope Festival held at Lincoln Center's refurbished Alice Tully Hall, gives contemporary sounds a large mouthpiece. Both International Contemporary Ensemble and Brooklyn Rider present world premieres (Nathan Davis' Bells and Philip Glass' Suite for String Quartet from Bent) into their concerts. New music advocates from Juilliard's Axiom, to Les Percussions de Strasbourg, to Tyondai Braxton and the Wordless Music Ensemble make up about half of the festival offerings.

It comprises articles and up to date, relevant information for those working within the nuclear medicine community both nationally and internationally. Readers are invited to submit material, meeting announcements and training opportunities to the Editor: Sarah Allen, Nuclear Medicine Department, Guy's and St. Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, St. Thomas Street, London SE1 9RT. Tel: +44 2071885521, E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com 'Thoughts from a junior doctor… Finally Reminders Meetings in the UK International meetings Council and the Professional Standards & Education committee have both met very recently and there are a number of important issues which are currently being discussed. I will prepare a full report covering both meetings for the next newsletter and wish this month to report briefly from the September council meeting held during the Guildford autumn BNMS meeting. The Molybdenum crisis remains high on the agenda for BNMS, the Department of Health, EANM and our fellow national societies throughout Europe. With the support of the Department of Health BNMS will continue, via the website, to provide up to date information as it becomes available. Many members (and their respective managers) are concerned about potential breeches of the '6 week rule' but should be aware that the Department of Health are fully informed regarding current and likely future shortage periods. It is important that the Trusts report targets that are about to be breeched and our understanding is that Trusts will not be penalised. A working party has been set up through ARSAC to evaluate the medium to long term consequences of the Molybdenum crisis. The nanocolloid shortage is another key issue on which the society is working. The society has engaged a new website provider and the new look website will actually be launched within a week of writing this newsletter. It will therefore have been operational for several weeks by the time you, the consumer, read this. Comments on any aspect of the website would be greatly appreciated and it is hoped that users will find the improvements beneficial. In the near future a set of patient information leaflets which have been through all possible vetting processes will be available through the website and can be downloaded, personalised and used by members without having to go through the usual consultation processes. Many thanks to Dr Ann Tweddel and colleagues for their hard work and perseverance in producing these leaflets. The IAEA distance learning SPECT/CT course which BNMS were asked to oversee has not yet got off the ground. A planned meeting in October to discuss co-ordination of the course was deferred and has not yet been rescheduled. To date therefore, a start date and mechanism for rolling out this course to those nuclear medicine technologists/radiographers who volunteered to take part has not been established. Bernadette Cronin, on behalf of council, will continue to liaise with IAEA and it is hoped that a meeting date will shortly be decided. To all those willing volunteers; you are not forgotten and as soon as Bernadette has more information she will be in touch. A council subgroup, 'The Drugs administration Working Party', led by Dr Maria Palmer has produced a set of comprehensive templates pertaining to drugs administered within the practice of Nuclear Medicine by non-medical personnel. Theses templates should be available on the BNMS website by November and comments are invited, in particular with respect to additional drugs that are not currently covered. The intent is for these guidelines to provide basic information which can then be adapted in accordance with local practice and governance procedures. Individual Trusts/departments would decide on training needs and competency assessments for individual staff groups in accordance with local policies. Please take the time to look through these documents and email any comments to Mrs Sue Hatchard as soon as possible (email@example.com). They will provide a valuable resource for departments and it is important that they are as comprehensive as possible. Non consultant grade doctors have recently been completing logs documenting their working hours in order to monitor compliance with the EWTD. Moving away from council business I wish to include a contribution from one of the Nuclear Medicine Specialist Registrars on this subject. Back to Top | Article Outline 'Thoughts from a junior doctor… On Saturday, 1st August 2009 the European Working Time Directive (EWTD) came into full force marking the introduction of the 48-hour working week for doctors in training. For those who are unfamiliar with the terminology, EWTD is a European legislation designed to protect the health and safety of all workers in the European Union (EU). It lays down the minimal requirements in relation to working hours, rest periods, annual leave and working arrangements for employees working in the EU. EWTD was enacted into UK law in 1998 as Working Time Regulations (WTR) which limits all healthcare professionals to an average of 48 h of work per week. Back in 1998, the government negotiated an extension to delay full implementation of EWTD for doctors in training until August of this year. In preparation for full implementation of the law, the last ten years saw a gradual reduction in junior doctors' hours and hundreds of millions of pounds were spent on NHS hospitals by the Department of Health. I expect most readers to be quite bored by this stage. The world of nuclear medicine might be short of a few things (think Technetium!) but it certainly isn't short on legislations and regulations. Nonetheless, EWTD is important because it affects all healthcare professionals and in particular junior doctors in training, the NHS trusts they work for, hospital staff who work with them and the general public who get treated by them. As things stand at the moment no junior doctor is allowed to work more than 48 h per week unless he or she signs an 'opt-out' waiver. The latter can only be done on an individual basis and must be voluntary i.e. no junior should be pressurised into opting out by an employer or line manager. For months, medical staffing personnel and clinical directors across the country have been working relentlessly in order to ensure that all junior doctors' rotas are EWTD-compliant (at least on paper). EWTD poses a great concern for NHS trusts who don't want to get fined or even face prosecution if their employees' hours are not EWTD-complaint. More importantly, it provides a major challenge for a lot of junior doctors who in the past may have preferred to gain more 'hands-on' experience by spending more time at work. Many trainees in surgical specialties for example, feel that that their 'cutting time' and experience may be significantly affected by the reduction in their weekly training hours; a view shared and publicly voiced by some of their senior leaders. EWTD is yet another example of how medicine and medical training in the UK have changed in recent years. Although change is perceived by many to be a good thing, the future is not very clear for current trainees including myself. A lot of us remain apprehensive about what current and future changes to the system will bring despite the rosy picture currently being painted by politicians, overzealous educationalists and some members of the consultant body. Most trainees I know are worried that the 48-hour week may lead to poorer training of junior doctors, poor continuity of patient care and in the midst of a global economic crisis and growing inflation, lower pay. The re-structuring of the junior doctor recruitment process that occurred in 2007 (also known as Modernising Medical Careers or MMC) has left a lot of juniors demoralised as they could not (and still can't) get into the training programme of their choice. To make matters worse, a drastic change in the immigration rules resulted in a mass exodus of international medical graduates who after years of serving the NHS were told by the Home Office that they had to pack their bags and leave the UK. This has resulted in vacancies and rota gaps throughout the UK. Many junior doctors who were lucky enough to get training jobs are probably very grateful for what they have but nonetheless, many remain unsure about what the future holds for them. The main worry is that the new system will produce a large number of CCT (Certificate of Completion of Training) holders in the near future and given the financial recession and cuts that will inevitably hit the NHS in the next couple of years, there might not be enough consultant jobs for every trainee who completes specialist training. It is widely accepted that not every single junior doctor in the country can enter a training post and become a consultant; however the real fear is that an oversupply of CCT holders may result in the creation of a 'sub-consultant' grade. Several other issues complicate the situation even further, e.g. the increasing numbers of medical students coming out of the system (now that new medical schools have been opened), NHS trusts' increasing reliance on 'non-doctor' practitioners and establishment of foundation trusts. Some foundation trusts already seem to think that their 'foundation' status gives them the right to set their own rules and disregard national terms and conditions when it comes to employment of doctors. This is the type of thing that must be fought on all fronts. If not, the last person leaving the profession should switch off the lights on the way out. There is no denying that the UK medical system is changing rapidly amidst the government's plans to instil reform in a profession that has traditionally resisted change. The junior doctor training and recruitment systems have already been changed, the royal colleges are not as powerful as they used to be and consultants will soon be faced with a major new challenge in the form of Revalidation soon to be instigated by the General Medical Council. Personally, I feel that apathy and lack of solidarity remain a problem in the medical profession. Many consultants did not show enough interest in junior doctor training issues when the hurried introduction of MMC and MTAS (computerised Medical Training Application System) caused so much chaos in 2007. One of my relatives, an NHS consultant for more than 15 years, only started showing interest in junior doctors' issues after rota gaps and shortages of junior doctors on the ward added to his personal workload. Only last week he was complaining that he ended up finishing a surgical list on his own following his registrar's swift exit at the end of his shift at 4 p.m. Gone are the days when the surgical registrar would be left to 'close' whilst the consultant nips off to the staff room for his cup of Earl Grey and quick fix of rich tea biscuits! Although times have changed, I keep wondering whether there are still consultants out there who regard today's junior doctors to be no more than a bunch of overpaid, under-worked moaners. A few years ago I worked with an 'old-fashioned' consultant who clearly did not grasp the concepts of political correctness and change. Every ward round was an endless critique of junior doctors and modern-day medical training in the UK: 'Medical schools are not what they used to be; any one can get into medical schools now-a-days as A-levels keep getting easier; educationalists are destroying the system with their Problem Based Learning ideas; when I was a registrar I worked 100 h a week; I worked a 1 in 2 rota for years without complaining; in the old days a male doctor not wearing a tie and 'women doctors' wearing trousers would not dream of being on my ward round…'. Play the violin please! I recently heard on the grapevine that he'd opted to take early retirement and now tries to keeps as far away from hospitals and medical politics. Being my cynical self, I suspect that he timed his exit with the EWTD August deadline. Mohamed Shawgi Specialist registrar in Nuclear Medicine DOI: Member of BMA Junior Doctors' Committee.

This is a discussion on Am I the only one thats sick of 1911s within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Originally Posted by 2gunken This is going to upset a bunch of the diehard 1911 folk's and I'm sorry about that. That is not my ...

I don't have a 1911. I know what you are talking about, because a few weeks ago, I did not buy a mag I looked over, because it seamed like to much of the same old thing (and there was a 1911 on the cover).
I find I can't help but read gun mags. When stories on 1911s pop up I tend to read those articles at least once before I pass the on to my brother (we share gun mags, we live a few streets from each other, no point in both buying the same mag). Then the mags end up at the family cabin to be reread a few time during a rainy day before being donate to a camp fire.
I don't think 1911s can be considered the "Flavor of the Month". While I'm not a big fan, there is something about them that I think they will hold interest for the next 100 years (unless there is some drastic advancement in firearms). 1911s are worthy of bling (like a nice revolver). Some firearm platforms gain class when you fancy them up with non-functional eye candy. A plastic gun that is customized sometimes looks like it has been bedazzled.
I consider Glock, XDs, etc to be the firearms that maybe 50 years from now could fade. It is like some car from the 80s vs 50s. Sure, that well kept 80s is nice to look at, but the car from the 50s are the real classics.
Next, I don't think 1911s are like AR-15s. They might be someday, but if the military were to change to a new battle rifle, I do sometime wonder if the .223 round and AR-15s would maintain the same level of popularity.

I agree with every gun magazine having an article about some type of 1911 pistol, and it's mostly the 1500-3,000 dollar models like Ed Brown or Wilson Combat. Just about every other issue of Combat Handguns that I pick up has a 1911 on the front cover, and I think I've read enough about them to last me a life time. The 1911 is a fantastic platform, but like any other gun there is only so much that can be said about them. I just can't see myself paying 2,000+ dollars for a .45 caliber single action handgun that does the same thing as a 700-800 dollar 1911. You might get maybe a better finish, along with all the "custom" features like skeletonized hammer and beaver tail, but those can be be easily put on a base model 1911 and you won't spend no more than 1,000 dollars in the end. If I'm going to pay 1500 dollars or more for a gun, I'm going to buy a rifle like an H&K 91 or a FN PS90. That is just me though.
USMC rule # 23 of gunfighting: Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
I am the God fearing, gun toting, flag waving conservative you were warned about!
I'm in love with the 1911 but... I have to agree, I wish they'd stop beating this old horse too!
ALWAYS carry! - NEVER tell!
"A superior Operator is best defined as someone who uses his superior
judgement to keep himself out of situations that would require a display of his
superior skills."
I gave $145 for my old 1918 vintage Colt 1911...in 1978. It groups fine and feeds and functions perfectly. It isn't necessary to read about why one needs the latest and greatest version of the 1911 with the "special sauce and three kinds of cheese."
As far as I am concerned, you are.
My 1911's are art, but I don't paint pictures with them. They are first and foremost tools. I will rely on them for self defense any time a situation calls for it. I train with them and shoot regularly and hit what I aim at both under stress and on the range. They don't get put away and forgotten about. Semi-custom? Absolutely. Expensive? Yes. Reliable? You betcha!
That being said, I don't really have any thing against plastic, but I don't care for Glocks. My choice would be an H & K instead. I have two of them also in 45 acp and I can shoot them equally as well as I can my 1911's, but I prefer the feel and substance of hard steel made in the USA. To use your terms, I don't want to upset anyone or disparage their choice. 1911's are my choice.

that old war horse 2gunken has given you the freedom you have today and dont you forget it!!!
Well, I think you just hit on all the reasons why the old horse is still kicking ass and taking names along with the new fangled guns
But yes, I am sick about 1911's. They're starting to multiply. I held a Sig RCS tonight and I'm drooling over it. Commander length slide, officer's frame, the CCO hybrid I've been drooling over for a while at a decent price.
Dang on things are multiplying, and I'm not seeing much of an end in sight

Try shooting a quality 1911 sometime and you just might be hooked forever. After all, there is a reason that 1911's are so popular.

As a relative newbie shooter who does not own a 1911 (thought I have shot a few), I am certainly not qualified to comment on the topic of the appropriateness of the of a 1911 vs more modern choices, but I recently read a thread on Stopping Power forum that I thought to be a highly informed discussion by someone who knows, a member of the LAPD SWAT who carries a 1911 on the job:
StoppingPower.net Forums - 1911 and Swat Spec Ops
His point was that a 1911 is like a thoroughbred horse, fast as hell but high maintenance. He said the tupperware were more like mules, they'll go all day long on a little bit of whatever feed is available but won't get you there as fast as the thoroughbred. He also said that twice a year he drops off his 1911 and a blank check with his gunsmith and that his EDC is a pair of XD9's
At this point, I am very comfortable with my HK or Kahr for EDC and like not having a manual safety on my EDC, but 1911's are intriguing. I doubt I would ever want a 1911 as a primary handgun, but the fact that 1911's are classic and 'hackable' appeals to me for the same reasons that that I like to shave with a straight razor and brush or work on cars I can tune without anything more than a timing light, tach and a small set of hand tools
I'm not an armorer and have no wish to become one. I'm not into gun games. I'm not willing to spend five times as much for an extra 1-2% of "performance", as defined differently by each shooter. And I really don't care that my trigger feels like shifting an early-model John Deere with a bad clutch after shooting my buddy's super-slick Sig 1911's trigger (which created the funniest anticipating recoil/bad trigger pull EVAR on my part once).

These are Lucky Magazine's pick of the day and I completely agree. They're really nice and casual but with a bit of an extra flair. Definitely save these for day though, they're not quite nice enough for night.

They're actually more of a coral and brown color combo. These sandals would make for some pretty fancy footwork :)

I purchased a pair of a/d/s L420 this weekend. It appears to be well made and in good condition, but with some garage time.
Initial audition, they sound bright and with exaggerated high freq. resp., not much of low bass. Since the cabinet is not very deep, so it looks like it's designed for bookshelf type placement. Since I have no bookshelf, so I put them close to the wall, by that, I get a little bit more midbass, but that's it.
They sound bright, and gives the false perception of being detail, I've heard a lot of speakers from the late 70's through the 80's are like that.
I have a few pairs of vintage speakers with the same characteristic, the sound is too bright and little bass, some of those speakers with big cabinets and big woofers, but guess what, not much bass. So I have plan to replace the caps in the crossover.
Does anyone know what happened to a/d/s? I remember seeing their ad in the Audio magazine in the 80's, and saw some of their speakers in the local stores, then they disappeared.

text: What amazes me is that the "Liberals" didn't even notice when they were taken over by the "Statists". It used to be that a Liberal was a tree hugging, dope smoking, anti-government, home schooling, freedom loving hippie. Not any more. Now they are Statists, love big brother government, want to control EVERYTHING they can, expect you to live the way they want you too, do not belive in a free society, don't believe in a free market, want all children run through the Public Indoctrination Camps called Public Schools, have ZERO TOLERANCE policies for damn near everything, useful idiots!!
