1st round played with them and was not dissappointed! 15-20 yrds longer per club. higher loft trajectory and larger sweet spot than my x-18's. great feel on hits. i have much more confidence in all of my irons. these are the GI irons of the year for high handicapper!
I've had these for 3 months now and I couldn't be happier. Last season, I regularly hit in the high 90's with every third or fourth round over 100. My last 4 rounds: 94, 94, 93, 90! Yes, I think I've improved a little, but the forgiveness of these irons compared to my old Cobra IIs sure make a difference. I hit the 4-iron with confidence, which is something I never did before. I love these.
These irons are great for all levels of players, these clubs are very forgiving but also have workability. They are longer than other irons that i have tried and the forgiveness does not take away from the looks of these irons.
This was my first iron purchase. These are very forgiving clubs and they go pretty straight. Even though its not the greatest my strongest part of my game is now my iron play. I used to never hit too many greens but now its becoming more frequent.If you are a beginner these are highly recommended.

Overview of Investigation Process
The first step is generally preliminary fact-finding to determine if the complaint warrants an investigative review. If the complaint may be more appropriately addressed by another area such as Human Resources for personnel issues, Student Services for student issues, Office of Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity for affirmative action issues, USU Police Department for criminal issues, University Counsel for legal issues, it is referred to the appropriate area.
After the preliminary review, assistance may be requested from the unit head, the University's General Counsel or the University Police Department.
For each investigation, assigned Internal Audit Services' personnel must document their independence from the issues presented.
Fact-finding and evidence-gathering procedures should be as objective as possible. Employee interviews are conducted as necessary. Evidence gathered should be from sources independent of the unit or subject employee when possible.
Reporting at the Conclusion
A report is issued to appropriate management and if necessary, to prosecuting officials.

I use a hard plastic foam filled case for my .22 with the red dot scope. Its got 3 layers of foam that allows for two layers of storage. Whatever I can squeeze between the foam - guns, ammo, magazines - stays nice and secure and protects the scope.
I think similar cases are available at Gander Mtn. type stores for $10 - $15.
Here's a similar one at Midway.

text: Good man, in my opinion. I've heard a lot of stories of stops going bad, and I've talked to a lot of officers who know of other officers or have themselves had those experiences. Back a few years ago I took part in a "citizen's police academy" and came to understand why a lot of the behavior of officers in traffic stops happens, down to little details I'd never noticed. To this day I take a peek at traffic stops I drive by just to make sure. You never know.

About me...hmmm...well...
I'm very friendly and I have a wicked sense of humour. I love to laugh. I'm very trusting which is sometimes a bad thing but I think I'm getting better at detecting cons...of course that could be wishful thinking ;)
I have met some great people on this site. I love meeting new people. Honestly though, if you don't want to chat with me then don't just add me as a friend for the sake of having more friends.
I don't like rudeness in any form. If you can't say something nice, then don't say anything at all. I'm very easy going and easy to talk to (I think lol). I return all rates and I don't downrate unless you downrate me...even then, if you catch me in a good mood, I'll ignore it ;) If I do happen to rate you a 9 instead of a 10 or an 11, let me know cuz it was probably a mouseslip!
Think that's about it...if you want to know more, just ask ;)
I like all kinds of music (ok well not big into jazz and classical but other than that...anything goes!)
I completely suck at video games...my son loves playing with me because he's guaranteed to win every time lol

My first post and unfortunately I'm looking for opinions and havent contributed to the forum yet but appreciate any replies.
My dad is 76 years young and owns two handguns that he'd like to transfer legally to me.
Problem is he never renewed his MASS LTC (class A) and if I use the MASS transfer form FA-10 am I going to cause my dad to be found breaking the law for owning handguns but not renewing his license ?
From what I read it would appear he would be subject to a fine of not less than $500 dollars.
We both live in MASS...I have my LTC class A...I'd like to legally transer the handguns to me but I just dont know what to do here.
I do use his guns when I go to the range. Heck I dont even know if I'm allowed to use his guns if I dont officially own them.
I just assume that with the current state of MASS Gun laws nothing matters anyways...somehow myself and my dad would be found guilty of some violation (....snerk).

Video: Bruno Mars + Ed Sheeran Team Up For Surprise 'A Team' Performance
Bruno Mars' Moonshine Jungle Tour is already stacked to the gills with phenomenal talent...you've got Bruno and his doo-wop inspired band The Hooligans and let's not forget Ms. Ellie Goulding holding down opening duties. Well, fans lucky enough to be in attendance at Thursday's sold out gig in St. Louis were treated to an extra special treat when Bruno invited Ed Sheeran to the stage to perform 'The A Team.' Check out the fan-shot footage of the collabo below and make sure you stick it out and watch it to the end - the pair seamlessly transition from 'The A Team' to Bruno's tune 'Nothing on You' and before you know it a dance party breaks out...it's a good watch:
Bruno's Minneapolis tour stop has already come and gone but Ed will be back in town for a pair of sold out shows with Taylor Swift on September 7th + 8th.

Chain link fence install advice
My next project is installing a chain link fence which I don't have any experience with.
I have done a couple wood fences so I know how to do general layout and the basics but looking for advice on what's different for chain links.
Setting posts: My soil is mostly clay, from searching I see you can either drive the posts with a post driver or dig a hole and fill with concrete to set posts. I would think pounding the posts would be the easiest IF they go in without to much work. Never pounded a fence post so don't know how hard they are to go threw clay, roots, if they hit a rock, etc. How hard is it to keep the post straight while pounding? The other option would be to rent an auger and then fill the holes with cement like I have done in the past for wood fences. Any advice on how to set the posts?
The rest seems like it would go together fairly easy once the posts are set, just put peices together and then stretch the fabric and secure.
Any advice on driving the posts or anything about installing chain link would be much appreciated!
Be aware that regular chain link fencing turns into a dull finish in about 3 years or so. Some order vinyl covered fencing which takes care of that problem. But the ordinary poles, clamps and hardware will start to show rust in about 3 or more years and then it will look lousey.
However, if you go to a dealer who specializes in chain link fencing (not the big box stores) then ask about the special coating that is placed on the poles to ward off rust. Ask if the clamps and hardware are coated also. This special coating is plated on, I believe.
As an alternative to chain link, take a look at the poly-vinyl fencing materials. This Spring, I am taking down my chain link and replacing it with vinyl. So I'll be looking for installation tips also. The websites of the manufacturers of fencing may have some installation tips.

"We had a beautiful wedding and we were so pleased we everything but our wedding planner, All Occasions from Cape Girardeau, MO. I would recommend not using them and save yourself alot of stress not to mention surprise charges after the fact. Maybe if you just have them decorate but don't pay for the full service!

"Avoid this vendor. Decorations and hall were beautiful but we paid for full service and didn't even begin to get what we paid for!! She didn't even get the bridesmaids and bride lined up on time. My daughter was 10 minutes late to her own wedding because the planner failed to get her out of the dressing room! Late to decorate the hall even though they gave us the time they wanted to start and we paid extra for the hall to be open the day before. Not 15 minutes late, THREE hours late! Took the throw away bouquet and put it somewhere we couldn't find, so the bride had no bouquet to throw..I could go on and on... Very expensive for a very poor service!!!! Avoid, Avoid, and Avoid! Use somebody else and save yourself some stress!!!"

Big Garden Birdwatch
|Top left - Great Tit, Top Right - Blackbird, Bottom - Jay
This year we took part in the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch and were amazed at how many birds we have in our garden! The kids have had a fantastic time recording all the birds we saw as part of their learning. We made our own bird feeders out of lard, bird seeds, nuts, grated cheese and breadcrumbs.
|Homemade Bird Feeders
The colours of the birds were amazing and I think this will inspire a series of hand dyed handspun yarns based on the colours of the birds we saw.
|Robin and a Song Thrush
We took lots of photos and our son created a short video on some of the birds that graced our bird feeding station. The whole family has found a real interest in birdwatching and nature and we are sure to carry on trying to spot and identify the many species of birds that visit our garden. Just today we had a Spotted Woodpecker visit us!

Book Vending Machine Tackles Childhood Literacy
City in California encourages reading using interactive device kids power with their library cards.
Santa Clara County in California is trying to make reading more interesting in a society where books just don't seem to cut it anymore. They've introduced a vending machine that only serves up books, in the hope of encouraging children under five-years old to start reading more often.
41 percent of Santa Clara County third-graders are not reading at grade level, a deficiency which is thought to be caused by a gap in the need and availability of early learning and literacy opportunities in Northern Sunnyvale.
The machine was made possible by a $35,000 grant from the First 5 of Santa Clara County – a local public agency that distributes nearly $30 million in annual funding from California's Proposition 10 Tobacco Tax. Housing 220 books, the books are targeted at Kindergarten and Pre-school children.
Acting as a prototype, the agency wants to gauge the effectives of such a scheme, with the aim of inspiring other cities in the area to do the same. Some are skeptical about how effective such an expensive scheme could be, especially with the advent of affordable reading devices such as the Kindle becoming so popular.
Then again, an interactive option could be just what's needed to keep children interested long enough to get their hands of a book and start reading.

Agile Commerce – that's Forrester's word for "Omnichannel," right?
Posted by Martin Gill on November 27, 2012
- 725 Recommendations
- 2 comments
You've all heard the term "Omnichannel." And since you are reading this blog I'm going to assume you've also all heard the term "Agile Commerce." If not, then stop reading now and check out Welcome to the Era of Agile Commerce and Agile Commerce: Know it When You See It.
So either you are back, or you were with me all along. But now you are wondering "Ok, so what is the difference?" Let's look at what the two terms really mean. Omnichannel doesn't have a formal definition, though here's what the oracle that is Wikipedia says…
"Omni-Channel Retailing is very similar to, and an evolution of, multi-channel retailing, but is concentrated more on a seamless approach to the consumer experience through all available shopping channels, i.e. mobile internet devices, computers, bricks-and-mortar, television, catalog, and so on."
On the other hand, Forrester defines agile commerce as…
"An approach to commerce that enables businesses to optimize their people, processes, and technology to serve customers across all touchpoints."
So superficially, they seem to be the samething, don't they? They both espouse an approach that allows the customer freedom to interact with a brand on any touchpoint, however they want. But in reality, Agile Commerce is much more than that. Here's why. The first thing that is wrong with Omnichannel is the name itself. Here's a slide I presented recently at Internet Retailing 2012 to try and highlight what's wrong. See if you can work it out…
So here's what's wrong:
- The name itself continues to propagate a mindset of silos and separation. If multichannel is the Web and Stores (and maybe phone or catalogue), then Omnichannel includes social, mobile and other "new" stuff, doesn't it? So if we have a web team, a stores team, a social team and a mobile team, then we are Omnichannel! Well…By contrast, Agile Commerce aims to break down organizational barriers and recommends a cross-functional approach, bringing new organizational constructs to bear such as organizing around the customer lifecycle. Agile Commerce is about breaking down silos, not inventing new ones.
- There are too many possibilities. Omnichannel says "serve the any-time, any-place, any-where customer how they want to be served." The reality is that this is a flawed approach. To enable every experience on every touchpoint will only result in massive technical and process complexity at a high cost, all in order to serve a tiny portion of your customers who might never even want to book a holiday at 3am via their web enabled Renault Clio. On the other hand, Agile Commerce recommends you optimize the journey, not the touchpoint. By concentrating on common customer journeys then designing touchpoints within the context of those journeys, brands can create successful cross-touchpoint experiences for the vast majority of their valuable customers. Experiences that result in increased customer satisfaction, increased sales and an experience that differentiates in a way that supports the brand's proposition. Agile Commerce is about reducing complexity, not increasing it.
- Change is the one constant. One thing we know without a shadow of a doubt is that the pace of change will only continue to increase. We are operating in the Age of the Customer, and empowered customers embrace new ways of interacting, new technologies and new touchpoints at massive speed. Think back to a decade ago. There were no smartphones. No tablets. No Facebook. No Pinterest. New touchpoints emerge out of nowhere and rise to mainstream adoption with increasingly short timescales. Omnichannel doesn't give us much advice on how to manage this phenomenon, other than to embrace them (and potentially create more silos). Agile Commerce recommends that we embrace a mantra of constant change and that we organize our businesses to "Win Quick or Fail Fast" and "Learn by Doing," embedding agility and customer insight into our teams and decision making processes. Agile Commerce is about, well…being agile.
These may seem like semantics, but I think goes beyond that. The concept of agility is critical to business. Our Agile Commerce research is based in the study of dozens of organizations that are embracing the complexity of 21st century business and are finding that there are four steps to agile commerce success. We outline these in our latest research into how firms are embracing an agile future.

Omni-channel is the What; Agile Commerce is the How
Comment from Jennifer Friedberg (not verified) on Fri, 11/30/2012 - 18:12
To me omni-channel is still about the "what", it still describes the ability for customers to shop when, where they want to, via multiple channels, but with seamless access to inventory being the holy grail. Yes, this does imply silos still exist BUT in order to achieve this they have to be crossed. How?
Agile commerce -- "optimizing people, processes and technology to serve customers across all touch points" is really that how...in other words the two, omni-channel and agile commerce are not two different phenomenon but are instead interrelated.
Also, to say that under omni-channel all touch points have to be optimized in the same way is really an over-statement. Certainly the customer journey should be a prime consideration, but this more accurately applies to the customer journey in making a specific purchase, and providing the information they need when and where they need it in order to accomplish the transaction. This no doubt varies not only for different customers but also for different types of product purchases. Omni-channel is not so much about these types of touch points, although still important to consider, but rather it is about providing a consistent brand experience, then layering on suitable customer experiences and offers. Both need to be based upon customer understanding.
This involves how a company
Comment from Dan Smoke (not verified) on Sun, 08/18/2013 - 13:43
This involves how a company is managing the customer experience and who's getting credit for what, Walker said. Merchants have to stop obsessing over conversion rates and focus on a holistic model. "Conversion rates don't measure what impact a mobile solution has on your in-store transactions. Today, there is an over-reliance on the metric of conversion rates. That has to evolve."

At the age of 21, I stepped straight from college into a teaching position in a high-poverty elementary school in southern California. I hope I was able to provide some valuable learning experiences for the second and third graders who shared that classroom with me, but I know I learned crucial lessons from them. I entered teaching as policies in literacy education in California were shifting and I observed children bringing all of their rich knowledge and experiences to bear on curriculum and assessments that too often turned a deaf ear to their valiant attempts to engage. It became clear to me that we need to better understand both how to provide access to opportunities to achieve success in the ways that officially count in US schools and how to expand what counts to include the knowledge and learning that cannot be captured through the instrumental literacies too often at the center of high stakes accountability policies in literacy education. The children in my classroom, many of whom were students of color and all of whom experienced poverty, had been positioned as problems, as risks to the system, before they ever stepped into kindergarten.
What I learned from children in those first years of teaching fueled my future work, from a Master's degree in English Literature, where I studied critical and feminist literary theories and delved into analyses of gender and race in texts to my doctoral work at the University of Michigan. I have focused my research on questions about the consequences of children's encounters with school literacy practices for their social, emotional, and academic positioning in classrooms. I have had the privilege of collaborating with teachers, children, and youth on several qualitative studies of classrooms in four state contexts, centrally examining issues of gender and sexual diversity, race, and class in children's reading and writing practices and what it looks like to pursue equity-oriented teaching. My current study engages the theoretical terrain of critical trauma studies and theories of emotion and affect to consider how challenging life experiences enter schools, the role and consequence of responses to students' lives in literacy classrooms, and the relationships and emotional, critical stances necessary if classrooms are to be supportive, productive spaces for learning.

The answers are 1) not at all 2) You can return after 2 days, but since your mouth/lower lip is still a bit numb, I'd recommend waiting 3-4 days. No one will notice you had surgery.
3) I had a size small, though Dr. Antell's choice was a medium or small/medium (i.e. shaved down). Most women get mediums, but I wanted a very natural / modest improvement and Dr. Antell supported my decision.
I would recommend going back to work after 3-4 days - no one will notice.
I had an incision through the inside of my mouth.
I went home without a bandage or anything at all on my face - 2 hrs after the surgery, strangers on the street would never know I'd had surgery! I thought that was pretty cool. iven my stitches were on the inside of my mouth. I had a very minor bruise that showed up Day 2. I walked about 10 blocks for fresh air....

Who is the Mysterious New Voice of 105.7 The Hawk?
He is a man shrouded in secrecy. He is a mystery wrapped in an enigma. He is the new voice of 105.7 The Hawk!
Faithful listeners will have undoubtedly noticed in the past several weeks that The Hawk has a new voice for our station identifiers. The question now… who is this mysterious man? To be honest, we have no clue! But we've got a few guesses.
Don LaFontaine
One of Hollywood's most recognizable voices is that of Don LaFontaine, who provides the narration for pretty much every movie trailer ever. While it seems unlikely that such a high profile voice would do spots for a classic rock radio station at the Jersey Shore, our guy's throaty baritone seems remarkably similar to LaFontaine. Maybe he's a fan!
Sam Elliott
If there was one current actor who can define manliness in cinema, it's definitely Sam Elliott. Perpetually cast as the cowboy, rancher or similar tough guy, he's known for his role as The Stranger in The Big Lebowski and Wade Garrett in Road House among others. Since we all know that The Hawk is the preferred radio station of the baddest dudes in New Jersey, Sam Elliott doing our vocal work doesn't seem that far off.
Kiefer Sutherland
Since getting his start in 1986's Stand By Me, Kiefer Sutherland has made a career in playing some pretty bad guys, whether he was a bloodsucking vampire in The Lost Boys or a mean-spirited hillbilly in A Time to Kill. His career saw resurgence when he fought terrorists as Agent Jack Bauer on 24. The voice seems right. Who knows?
Michael Winslow
You can't have a discussion about distinctive voices without including the man of 10,000 sound effects, Michael Winslow. Best known for his role as Larvelle "Motor Mouth" Jones in the Police Academy films, Winslow is a man of amazing vocal prowess who is as likely as anyone to be the voice of The Hawk.

Top 5 Tuesday: Spooky Stephen King
May 24, 2011 10 Comments
According to IMDb, Stephen King's wonderful novel Bag of Bones is currently in production for a TV series. This made me very happy as I am a very big fan of that book and, of the writer himself. Mr. King and his writing talents get short-changed by many critics, mostly because he is so insanely popular. I have always believed that the enormity of his success has hindered his standing as one of our country's finest modern-day writers. But anyone who has had the opportunity to read his insightful book, On Writing will truly be able to have a deeper appreciation for the author as he speaks to the art and craft of the writing process.
So Stephen King has written a bazillion short stories and novels – and a bazillion films have been adapted from these works. Some brilliantly executed, while others – eh, not so much (there are actually 7 Children of the Corn films). I thought to devote this weeks Top 5 Tuesday to the scary films based on his stories. Now before you start screaming, "Where the hell is The Shawshank Redemption?! Stand By Me? How can you forget The Green Mile?" I will state up front that I chose to stick with the horror/thriller genre, which constitutes about 90% of the movies. For the record, both "Shawshank" and "Green Mile" would positively make my Top 5, as I think they are both marvelous films directed by the very talented Frank Darabont. But since Stephen King is mostly associated with "the spooky," I stayed in that direction.
I'm not a connoisseur on horror films by any means. But I do enjoy a good scary movie every now and then, and I especially admire the few smart horror films released (last year's Let Me In, for example, was terrific, based on the even better Swedish film). And I have enjoyed many films based on the works of Mr. King through the years. Here is what I consider the 5 best:
5. Firestarter (1984)
I know this may not be included on everyone's list, but I appreciate and enjoy this science fiction thriller an awful lot. Based on one of King's earlier works, Mark L. Lester does a very good job at bringing his vision to the screen. One standout here is that King adapted the screenplay himself, which has rarely been the case since. The story is a good one too. Little Charlie McGee (Drew Barrymore) has a powerful and dangerous gift for a young girl…pyrokinesis. The United States government is threatened by this and wants to take her away from her father (David Keith) for their own use. The father, Andrew McGee, had previously participated in a medical experiment that gave him telekinetic ability. The father-daughter relationship here is played very nicely. And a strong supporting cast (which includes Art Carney, Martin Sheen, and Louise Fletcher) gets to shine here too, especially George C. Scott as the enigmatic John Rainbird. It may look a bit dated at this point, but the story and Lester's execution still holds up mighty well. Like Carrie and Cujo, Firestarter ranks among the best early movie adaptations of Sir King.
4. Misery (1990)
I'm not a big fan of Rob Reiner at all, but I can't deny the fact that he did a terrific job at bringing this tremendous 1987 novel to the screen. Unlike most of King's stories, this one doesn't have a supernatural element to it – but it is, at times, horrifying – and in many areas (mainly due to the splendid editing), very suspenseful. James Caan plays Paul Sheldon, the famed novelist who gets into a terrible car accident on his way west with his brand new novel. He is "rescued" by Annie Wilkes (Kathy Bates), a nurse, and brought to her remote home. Sheldon's #1 fan promises to take good care of him. Caan and Bates have a wonderful dynamic together – and Ms. Bates gives one of cinema's most horrifying performances – so well-deserving of the Oscar she won for her work here. The character is already enmeshed in film lore ("You dirty bird!") and though most of the movie takes place in her home, Reiner keeps the film from feeling claustrophobic. It's a marvelous story woven by Mr. King – with a terrific screen adaptation by William Goldman, one of our best screenwriters. And Mr. Caan, known mainly for playing "the tough guy" or "hothead," is also so good. It is refreshing to see him play such a composed character – and one who is so utterly helpless. Misery is a beautifully shot film that always has me putting my hands to my face.
3. The Dead Zone (1983)
David Cronenberg directed this wonderfully creepy, suspenseful and thought-provoking flick. Christopher Walken plays a mild-mannered schoolteacher who gets in a terrible car wreck and awakens from a coma five years later, only to find his former life all but gone. He has however developed the fantastical ability to tell a person's secrets simply by touching them. When he shakes hands with the Senatorial candidate Greg Stillson (Martin Sheen), he foresees him becoming president of the United States and the man behind instigating a nuclear war with Russia. The film raises some provocative questions – but it is clear this all stems from the mind of Stephen King. The hunt for a local serial killer is eerie indeed and Walken's telekinetic visions are gripping. Walken is terrific, as he's given a great character to sink his teeth into. The film deserves mention on this list solely for the way he screams to a young boy's obstinate father, "THE ICE IS GONNA BREAK!" It's perfect Walken!
2. The Mist (2007)
I love this film! Love it, love it, love it!!! And how awesome is Frank Darabont at bringing King's work to the screen?! This is a sensational and courageous piece of filmmaking – horrifying, profound, enthralling – and has one of the very best endings in recent years. The ensemble cast is stellar – all recognizable faces, but I am so glad they decided not to go "the star route" with this one. Andre Braugher, Marcia Gay Harden, William Sadler, Frances Sternhagen, Toby Jones, and Jeffrey DeMunn are all given such rich characters to play with and they are all wonderful here. The film though, revolves around family man David Drayton (played by Thomas Jane, who I had not heard of before, and hold the film together quite nicely). After a terrible storm, David takes his young boy to the local grocery store. The store loses power and the patrons are then alerted to a mysterious, oncoming mist. Most of the action from here on out takes place in the store as the shoppers are literally trapped. And what is outside (not to mention what attacks the store) is spine-chilling and great fun to watch! Some amazing elements take place between the locals as they remain trapped and form their own sects within. Fascinating religious themes come into play and again, King illustrates how well he knows how the human mind works in dire situations. A must-see horror movie – a must-see movie period!
1. The Shining (1980)
Is this really a surprise to anyone? I know Mr. King wasn't exactly thrilled with what director Stanley Kubrick did with his superb 1977 novel, but this is a horror classic, and surely one of the very best ever made. The TV mini-series was nothing compared to this absolutely sinister film. As caretaker for the stately Overlook Hotel, Jack Nicholson gives a sensational, multi-layered and horrifying performance. Of course, he is perfectly cast here. Shelley Duvall, a seemingly unusual choice to play his wife, counters Nicholson perfectly. We are treated to gorgeous cinematography, impeccable production design and a sense of terror from the very opening of the film. Those freaky twins, the woman in Room 237, Grady telling Jack what must be done with his wife and child, the elevator, REDRUM – it all makes for a beautifully woven creepfest helmed by one of film's greatest directors. The ambiguous ending (with the black-and-white photograph) always fascinates me – with the song "Midnight, the Stars, and You" eerily playing in the background. Even if "Shawshank" were in the mix for this list, I'm not entirely sure if this masterful film still wouldn't be at the very top – it's that freakin' good!

Detailed Accident Report
Submitted By: Doug Chabot GNFAC
Place: Lone Mountain
State: MT
Country: USA
Fatalities: 1
Summary: 2 skiers caught, 1 buried and killed
November 26th, 1999
On Friday, November 26th, five backcountry skiers were hiking up a slope in an
unopened, uncontrolled area in the bowl of Lone Mountain when two of them were
caught in a slide that resulted in one death. One partially buried person with
his hand exposed suffered minor injuries. The other person was buried 6 1/2
feet deep from the avalanche carrying him into a terrain trap created by a rock
glacier. The avalanche released on a north facing slope, at an elevation of
10,500'. The slide was 16" to 24" deep, 150 feet across and ran approximately
300 vertical feet. The slope angles ranged from 37 degrees at the triggering
location to 44 degrees at the crown. The US Classification of the slide is
Southwest Montana has had a relatively dry fall. For October and most of
November the only skiing that could be found was in pockets or gullies on north
facing slopes at higher elevations. Wednesday evening, November 24th, was the
start of our most significant snowfall to date. Approximately 12-16" of 16-22%
snow fell during the 24th, 25th and 26th with winds from the west averaging
10-15 m.p.h. gusting into the 30's. This new snow more than doubled the
snowpack depth. The avalanche happened at approximately 1245 and current
conditions according to National Resource Conservation Service Snotel sites and
the Big Sky datalogger show temperatures in the high 20's, snowing, and winds
averaging 10 m.p.h. with gusts in the 30's from a west-northwest direction.
After talking to a witness and spending time at the avalanche site Ron Johnson,
Karl Birkeland and I were able to gleam the following information. On Friday,
5 skiers hiked up to a north facing slope above the triple chair in the bowl on
Lone Mountain. This area was uncontrolled and unopened to skiers and therefore
had backcountry skiing conditions. Some of them had skied this slope within
the past few days before the recent snow load. Picking their way up the slope
by linking small rock outcroppings they got to a spot where they had to hike
across a 100-150 foot slope to another rock island. Visibility was compromised
since it was snowing quite hard. As the fist person was almost across, a
second person started the traverse and on his fourth step the slope avalanched
with the crown about 75 vertical feet above him. Both people had their packs
on with their skis still attached. They slid about 250 vertical feet to the
bottom where there was unfortunately a terrain trap collecting all of the snow.
The debris piled up into a steep gully at the edge of the rock glacier
completely burying one person, with the other one having just his hand exposed.
This slide was witnessed by two other people who then helped in the initial
rescue. The person with his hand out was unburied quickly and suffered minor
injuries. A transceiver search located the other person who was buried 6 1/2
feet down. They were able to dig his head out within 5-8 minutes of his burial
and started resuscitation efforts. An off duty pro patroller arrived about
this time and coordinated the rescue and CPR efforts. Unfortunately the
resuscitation was unsuccessful.
It's impossible to know exactly what happened within the snowpack that led up to
the skiers triggering this avalanche but after digging a few snowpits we can
make some educated guesses. This steep north facing slope was at 10,500 feet
and there was a 10 cm layer of well developed facets sitting either on the
ground or on top of some older snow. The slope was variable in its depth and
layering, but with the addition of all the new snow that was added over the
last 36 hours the snowpack was under increasing stress. One or both of the
skiers most likely collapsed this weak layer of facets which caused failure of
the slope. At their crossing point the avalanche ran on the ground, but in
spots near the crown and flanks the slab was sitting on the old snow surface
which was a dirty ice crust.
It's possible that the party may have underestimated the avalanche danger due to
the shallow snowpack and the fact that they skied this slope a few days prior
to this recent load. However, the basal layers of the snowpack were quite weak
and they just received a substantial snow load. Further, even though this
slide was not very large, the terrain trap at the bottom made the consequences
of a avalanche very serious.
If people have any question or comments they can contact myself and Ron Johnson

cat diabetes and behavior changes
Hi ,
My cat Willie, who is a 10 yr old male, was taken to vet for vaccinations(Rabies, Panleuk/Rhino/Calici)this past July(he had not had his yearly vaccinations for about 4-5 yrs-never been outside before) as I was considering getting another cat since my best buddy, Cody, a female Maine Coone died this past January after 18 years with me. Cody went blind and then into renal failure. Willie seemed depressed since her death(they were buddies) and thought he may need a new friend. Willie was always outgoing and playful and very loving. I took Willie to vets for his Rabies and Panleuk/Rhino/Calici vaccinations-which he had not had for prox. 4-5 yrs since he was never outside but wanted to make sure he had his vaccinations updated since I was considering adopting another cat. The very next day, Willie began drinking alot of water and acting strangely-not playful-I thought he may just be sore from the injections or traumatized from going to the vets-since he had not been there f

Your question got chopped off so you may need to repost if this doesn't answer your question.
High blood sugar from diabetes can make a cat feel lousy and tired which will affect their behaviour. If Willie is already on insulin for his diabetes he may need his insulin dose increased and you should discuss that with your vet.
When Jester got diabetes I bought a Relion blood test meter and strips from Walmart so that I could test her blood sugar at home. Its pretty easy, you just have to prick a vein in their ear and get a small drop of blood to test. The vet can show you how. In addition to that the vets can do a test called a fructosamine test that measures the average blood sugar test over the last couple of weeks.
I also discovered that switching Jester from dry to wet food helped reduce her blood sugars as it has much less carbohydrate. So if he'll eat wet food it will help keep his blood sugar stable and easier to control.

It's quite possible that Wille was a little stressed from his trip to the vet, especially if he hadn't been there in a while. Since he was doing this in July, it's also possible if the weather was hot, he was just thirsty. If he is still acting this way 6 months later, he's overdue for a another "chat" with his doctor. It may be diabetes, and it could simply be that as an animal ages, they do lose some kidney function and begin drinking more water. Before you do any changing of diet, please consult with Willie's vet for their guidance.

The fledgling church is being scattered by persecution. It is spearheaded by a fanatical young Pharisee who does not realize he is unwittingly aiding a divine mandate to spread the truth "unto the ends of the earth …"Young Julia has everything money can buy —except for acceptance by either Gentiles or Judeans in Tiberias. When she discovers the secret her beloved Greek father has kept all these years, she is devastated. Julia and her Hebrew mother are indeed less than second-class citizens. Her future is dark with clouds of uncertainty. Jacob, Abigail's brother, is now a young man attempting to find his own place among the community of believers. Does it mean trading away the exhilaration and adventure of his current profession as a caravan guard? Hired by Julia's father to protect a wealthy merchant's caravans on the secretive "Frankincense Trail," Jacob also reluctantly takes on the perilous responsibility of passing letters and messages between communities of believers now dispersed across the land. He is alarmed to discover that Julia, hardly more than a girl, is also a courier. Can their initial mistrust be put aside to accomplish their mission? An earthshaking encounter on the way to Damascus has repercussions far beyond the lives of Julia and Jacob.

Actually, it is Jennifer, not Michael. I enjoy a variety of books but am drawn to romantic historical fiction with a Christian message.
"Our Lord Lives"
This is an amazing series! If you enjoy biblical fiction then you are in for a treat. This is the third book in the series, all good. Recommend reading in order. All three books take place in first century AD after the death and resurrection of Jesus. Well written and closely follows scripture.
"Best of the series!"
This is the most action packed of the series and follows 4 main characters rather than 1-2 as previous books. Seeing Jacob's character development as a young man was great. I liked the way everything was wrapped up at the end but I'm sure some would think it was a little too "happily ever after". I wish the narrator had been the same as the previous two books. I thought she did a bit better job at differentiating between different characters' voices.
"Very well thought out and researched. Well done!"
The reader has done a superb job of showing others the faith of the ancients. Good job. All who had any part of it
"i love jannette oke,"
i have always loved reading Jannette Oke's books. and I just started listening to them and im love it.
"VERY hard to get through!"
I am disappointed this book was simply narrated instead of being "voice acted" by any one of the many talented actors I have listened to. As I see it, this audiobook has 2 glaring problems. The first I just mentioned was exacerbated by the fact that Ms Lyons seems to have a speech impediment. The second is that there isn't even an attempt to inform readers/listeners that the story threads are changing. I looked at the written book and most of the time when the writer changed story threads, she made a new paragraph at the least or a chapter change at most to give readers the ability to understand events. Instead, I have just spent more than a week trying my best to finish this book with some amount of certainty that I know what it's about. I will not purchase an audiobook with this narrator again and I don't think I'll buy a written book by Ms Oke either. So, now that I've made it through the book I honestly cannot say that I was able to follow all the events. So disappointing, especially since I love the "historical" stories from Biblical times!
Tell us about yourself!
"Enriching Reading Experience"
The book helped me to but flesh and blood on many of the New Testament characters. It was well researched and often feel the sand of the Middle East in my mouth and on my skin. I now understand the persecution of the early Christ followers.
"You will be blessed! "
I just finished reading and listening to all three in this series of books. I absolutely loved each one of them! The reader was fabulous and the stories can't be beat. I am male and 10 tool of historical fiction on the action side. my wife told me about these because she loved them. I enjoy them as much as she did. I hope that there are more books written by these folks in the same time period!
"JO hits the mark"
Excellent Story - Connects in well with Biblical account. Highly recommend for ages 12 and above.
"Great Read/Listen"
Loved the book!! Ended sort of how I wanted but not exactly, overall great series.
"Great as a Stand Alone"
I inadvertently to this book "out of sequence". I listened to it after number 1. Even though several years had passed between books 1 and 3, I did not know I had skipped number 2 until I had finished the book. It is so well written that even though it is part of a series, you do not realized it is part of a series. Even though I know the story of the Damascus Road, I found myself thrilled as the events unfolded. I hope the series will continue. This series is certainly a balm for the soul in troubled times. The prayers spoken often reflected my feelings more eloquently than I ever could.

Operating profits at continuing operations rose 30% to £107m ($202m) in the first half of 2006.
The Holiday Inn and Crowne Plaza operator has been selling its hotels in order to concentrate on franchises and management rather than full ownership.
The shift follows its split from the Six Continents Group in 2003.
It has since sold 175 hotels for £3bn, as well as return £2.74bn to investors.
Reporting its latest results, Intercontinental also promised to return more cash to shareholders after selling 24 of its European hotels.
'Positive' future
After including profits from discontinued operations, pre-tax profits for the half year fell to £151m from £166m a year ago.
Across the business, the group said trading had been excellent in the six months to 30 June, adding that its outlook for the year remained "positive".
InterContinental - which has more than 3,650 hotels in almost 100 countries - said it had increased the number of rooms it operates by nearly 3,500 in the first half to 541,002.
As a result of strong interest and good progress, the firm added it had also increased the number of rooms it plans to open in coming years by 21,588 to 130,000 - with 80% of these set to open before 2008.
"We continue to attract strong interest from owners and partners, both new and existing, and for the first time we now have over 1,000 hotels in the development pipeline across the world," chief executive Andrew Cosslett said.
He told reporters that the company thought there would be little impact following the recent security scare regarding flights from the UK, and that there had been no impact on business in the Middle East outside Lebanon and northern Israel.

Although its Chinese and European operations have been showing meaningful growth, Volkswagen (VLKAY.PK) has been seeing some troubling trends with its American operations, which have been underperforming largely due to its namesake brand amid heated and fierce competition (though Audi and Porsche continue to do fairly well).
This is especially problematic for the company at the current time, as it's chasing the title for world's largest automaker, a distinction that both General Motors and Toyota are hoping to grasp, as well. But while those companies have initiated widespread redesigns for some of their most significant vehicles, Volkswagen's understated, simple aesthetic hasn't been resonating as much with American buyers. Through April, VW's U.S. sales slid about 10 percent.
"The Americas are a significant cornerstone of the 2018 strategy," Chief Executive Officer Martin Winterkorn was quoted as saying in a statement from a meeting in Germany. "We want to and we must grow there substantially and profitably."
Given Americans' affinity for large cars, the strategy calls for a new midsize sport-utility vehicle, perhaps one based on the CrossBlue concept that has been making the rounds at various auto shows. It's designed to go head-to-head with the likes of the Honda Pilot, Chevrolet Traverse, and Ford Explorer.

Removing bottom chord from M truss
I have a dropped 7 foot ceiling in my kitchen, above which are scissor trusses. I want to remove the dropped portion and sheet rock the bottom of trusses for a cathedral. Problem: the eating area has a 7 foot 7 inch ceiling with M trusses and one of these is 8 inches into the area I want to cathedral. Can I attach a sister truss in scissor configuration and remove the bottom chord of the M truss? The kitchen and eating area are on the back of the house (under just half of the M and each scissor)
I would not recommend changing a truss without an engineer checking things out. Every part of atruss is important, and changing one part can upset the whole truss.
i would think laminating an EXACT replica of the scissor truss onto the m truss would work
I'm with Bill on this. Every point on a truss where two boards meet is either a "suspension" point or a "compression" point. It's sort of like making something by stacking up dominoes, or playing the game "Jenga". Once you remove one point that is critical to any other point you have a weak spot. David
Thanks, all. I have had a few general contractors tell me, "Oh, no problem. We will just sister in a cathedral truss to the regular one." But a structural engineer said, "a truss has to be engineered", which I figure means that the whole truss has to be placed as a unit, not "pieced" in. :( Can that be done from below without removing the roof? Kathleen
I would NOT "sister", or in any way attach the scissor truss to the existing truss. Doing so might very easily transmit loads and stresses in directions they were not intended to handle thus possibly compromising the structural integrity of both trusses.
" Can that be done from below without removing the roof?" Yes, after engineering. I have done this a half dozen times, using the engineered nailing pattern and length of fasteners required for liability. It will be listed on your papers. Also have sistered trusses next to rafters from inside. Check with your local engineers....
Be safe, Gary

rear main seal in 350
I'm about to tackle a rear main seal in my 350 engine and just wandering what I'm about to encounter. I'm no certified mechanic by no means but like to work and figure out stuff on my own. And since I've got my tranny out (that problem is posted in the transmission forum http://www.hotrodders.com/t29177.html ) I figured I'd better do this while it is out.
So any tips on what I'm going to encounter behind that flexplate?
It's a one piece rear main seal. I got the replacement from Autozone and they had two choices: rubber or teflon. Both the same price so I went with the rubber replacement. What's the difference in the two?
All tips and suggestions are welcome.
make sure it`s facing the right direction, and lube the hell out of it with vaseline or the like.
The rubber one you lube up wth oil and the teflon one is supposed to be installed dry.
On the rubber one the little coil spring holds the seal against the crank surface. The teflon seal gets installed dry as soon as crank starts turning a tiny amount transfers to crank surface and the two teflon surfaces ride against each other with ultra low friction.
Teflon seal is suppose to last longer and not wear a groove in crank after 100000 miles.
Nothing is as easy as it seems...
I guess my reason for posting is to ask a couple of questions:
First, how many miles are on the motor?
Second, how bad is it leaking?
One of the reasons a rear main seal could fail is if the motor has a bunch of miles on it and has some play in it. As the main bearings continue to wear from their original clearances, there becomes a little end play on either end of the crank. As the crank moves up and down, it bores out the seals and they begin to leak. If you replace the seal on a motor with a bunch of miles on it, it's just going to start to leak again. I guess the cheapest way you could do it is to drop the crank out, take it to a machine shop and have it checked or polished, but even then you run the risk of over-looking problems on the block journals.
Just my .02
Well the engine has a little over 184,000 miles on it. But it's not leaking. I'd just rather do a little preventive maintenance while the transmission is already out than have it start leaking on me in a couple months. Just trying to think ahead
Appreciate the input Greg, the guy behind the counter recommended the rubber one for some reason unknown. I guess he just picked and chose about like I would have.
And Doublevision, I may use some Pam cooking spray. So it won't stick or anything instead of Vasoline. Thanks for the idea.

how to add wall brace to support light
Replacing vanity light found no box or stud to support the light. Is their any way that i can build or buy a brace to attach between the studs? I actually tried using a ceiling brace, but their was not enough room on the left side of inner wall stud. A pumbling pipe runs from bathroom up stairs to the down stairs bathroom. The second problem i encountered the pipe is close to the opening that will be covered by new drywall. I appreciate any help.
If you can't go from stud to stud which is ideally what you want, try going from the top plate to the purlin in the wall. Depending on the age of the house you should have purlins running between the studs. If that doesn't work, you can drill a hole large enough to put a 24 to 30" 2 x 4 behind the drywall. Hold the 2 x 4 on the back of the drywall and screw through the drywall not the 2 x 4 to secure it. Then attach your shallow box to mount the vanity light. Hopefully this all makes sense.

Huh, I kinda enjoy grocrey shopping. That means I'm picking up some of the stuff 'Daddy wants'..... and the kids know dad went shopping because "he gets the good stuff"!
That, and I'm the big goofey dude taking my time with a smile on my face...... the grumpy-guses around me get even grumper! Now, I don't hold up lines or whatever, I just made a choice a LONG time ago to not be mad, angry, impatient, and everything else negitive while doing a chore like grocery shopping. I try to keep up a good mood regardless.
Since I retired a few years before my wife was able to, I assumed grocery shopping duties to give her a bit of a break. I really don't mind grocery shopping, but I HATE, and have had everything in that list happen to me at one time or another! The fat slobs who park their carts in the middle of the isle and stand there with a vacant look on their faces while they look for something, totally blocking the isle, and the idiots who wait until everything is rung up before they even begin looking in their purse for their checkbooks, and the worst!
I try to go to the store in the middle of the week during the middle of the day. Seems to be the least busy time with the least number of slack jawed idiots!
BTW, that list is the same reason I HATE going to Wally World! It is even worse there! Seems like a whole lot more idiots with uncontrolled snot nosed rug rats frequent WW than the Krogers or Meijers grocery stores.

yes Yes YES, I can't stand that. I just think to myself that they value their time that little. one of these days when I have a quarter or something in my pocket (and the kids aren't with me). I'm so going to toss that quarter in front of them and say something like "there is the value of the coupon, are you done yet?"
I also hate the previously mentioned check writers that wait for a total before digging through a purse that rivals the size of the grand canyon.
