FINAL: Red alums top Blue current players, 66-61, at Bill Self basketball camp
Here's video of that Andrew Wiggins dunk that Jesse Newell was in perfect position to capture just seconds into today's game.
And Nick Krug's photo gallery of the fun.
Final Score: Red 66, Blue 61
Tyrel Reed led the Red team in its revenge victory over the young guys.
Andrew Wiggins played about 14 minutes, wowed the crowd with a couple of monster dunks and hit one of two three-pointers for a total of 7 points.
The stats weren't all that impressive, but the game's there. This guy is on a different level.
We'll have scoring totals, video, a photo gallery and much more throughout the afternoon.
4:20 p.m. Update:
Red goes back up 12 after a sweet lull-em-to-sleep and no-look pass from Collins to Aldrich for the easy dunk.
4:19 p.m. Update:
Old guys putting on a clinic right now. Reed with another three and Blue trails 62-50 with 2:00 left.
4:17 p.m. Update:
Wiggins checks back in with Red leading 57-50. 3:35 to play.
4:16 p.m. Update:
Tyrel Reed with a couple of buckets in a row and Red leads by 6. Reed now has 14 points.
4:13 p.m. Update:
Frank Mason for three pulls Blue to within one.
4:11 p.m. Update:
Wiggins to the bench. He's played 10 minutes and has 7 points. Hard to say if he'll come back in today, but I'd guess so.
Greene with another three pulls Blue to within one, but Reed answers and Red leads 46-42.
4:09 p.m. Update:
Aldrich with a couple of uncontested dunks pushes the Red lead to seven, 43-36.
4:06 p.m. Update:
Wiggins shows the range early in the second half, stroking a three-pointer from the wing with Brady Morningstar right in his face. Wiggins has 7 points now, but Blue has fallen behind Red, 36-32 with 13 minutes to play.
4:01 p.m. Update: HALFTIME, Blue 29, Red 27
A tip-in by Justin Wesley at the buzzer pulls the Red squad to within two at the break. The tip came after a sweet one-on-one battle between Sherron "Showtime" Collins and, of all people, Perry Ellis.
Ellis did a good job of staying with all of Collins' dancing, but the former KU guard still got the shot off and led to the tip-in.
Three-minute halftime and then it's back to the action.
Leading scorers for both sides:
Lucas 6
Wiggins 4
Selden 4
Wesley 10
Reed 6
Black 5
3:59 p.m. Update:
Two-point game with a minute to play in the first half. Selden hit a deep, fade-away jumper to help the Blue squad keep its lead. Every time I see him I can't help but think how much Coach Weis would love to get him on the football team. Dude is built like a monster.
3:56 p.m. Update:
Brannen Greene, who didn't make it into the updates last week until the very end (despite leading everybody in scoring) just stroked a three to give the Blue a five-point lead again.
3:55 p.m. Update:
The shooting display is not even close to what it was last week, but Tarik Black did just step out and hit a three-pointer from the top of the key.
Blue leads Red, 19-17 with 4:40 to play first half.
Wiggins played the first five minutes and has four points.
3:51 p.m. Update:
Tyrel Reed with a three-pointer to cut the Blue lead to 15-9. 8:30 to play 1st half.
A lot of the Blue buckets have come right at the rim, with Jamari Traylor, Landen Lucas, Wayne Selden and Joel Embiid all scoring inside early. Selden and Embiid's buckets came off of alley-oop passes. One from Frank Mason and the other from Selden.
Embiid warmed up with the Red team but is not playing with them.
3:45 p.m. Update:
After a Sherron Collins turnover on the game's first possession, Perry Ellis pushed it ahead to Wiggins, who went right at Cole Aldrich and threw down a monster jam that electrified the crowd. It was as if everyone here was sleeping and then had water thrown on them at the same time.
For the record, Cole did not challenge the dunk.
Two possessions later, Wiggins got another breakaway dunk and threw it down with two hands this time.
8-2, Blue early on.
3:44 p.m. Update:
Ball's up, Red wins the tip. Here we go.
3:36 p.m. Update:
Scot Pollard is here today but is not playing. Brady Morningstar is also back this week for the Red squad.
Aaron Miles is here this week, too.
Pretty wild to see that it took the introduction of Sherron Collins to match the one that Andrew Wiggins got.
As you probably guessed, the Red squad has a few current Jayhawks playing for it today. Tarik Black, Justin Wesley, Joel Embiid, Tyler Self and Evan Manning are playing with the alums.
7 minutes to tip-off.
3:31 p.m. Update:
The first signs of Wiggins-Mania showed up in a big way in the gym today. Before the guy even came onto the floor, the campers who filled the south bleachers broke out chants of "We Want Wiggins," and "An-Drew, An-Drew, An-Drew."
It's going to be a wild year.
One quick note about today's scrimmage... Andrew White III will not play again this week. He's dealing with a minor knee injury. As was the case last week, it doesn't sound like the injury is a big deal at all.
3:27 p.m. Update:
Almost wrapped up with the game between the campers and the counselors and then we'll be on to the main event. I'm guessing it'll start somewhere around 3:40-3:45. Coach Self will introduce his current team and the players will warm up and then it'll be game time.
In the meantime, Sherron Collins is here again today, as are Jeff Hawkins and Tyrel Reed.
More alums and updates to come...
3:00 p.m. Update:
Last week, a handful of former KU players returned to Bill Self basketball camp to take on the current batch of Jayhawks, which topped the old guys, 91-76, in a game that featured an incredible display of three-point shooting from just about everybody in the gym.
Today, it's time for Round 2 and this time top overall recruit in the Class of 2013, Andrew Wiggins, is expected to make his unofficial KU debut.
It remains to be seen who else will show up for the alums today, but I have already seen Cole Aldrich in the building.
Gary Bedore's here to do his thing, Nick Krug has like 12 camera lenses with him today and Jesse Newell is here to capture some video of Wiggins, which he's hoping to get up on our site before anybody else. Cross your fingers for technology to work on that and stay tuned for updates throughout the scrimmage, which should start sometime around 3:30 or 3:45.
I'll get you a list of alums as soon as they start filtering in.

Chained CPI Switch Is a Slam Dunk, Even in Election Yearby
Sadly, Congress and the White House seem incapable of agreeing on substantive measures to tackle the $10.4 trillion mountain of U.S. debt.
But there is one long-overdue piece of important business that can and should get done: The adoption of a more accurate gauge of U.S. inflation that would yield immediate savings and help put the economy on firmer ground. The fix has already been endorsed by lawmakers in both parties, the Obama administration, many economists and a series of bipartisan deficit-reduction panels. Best of all, it would help shore up Social Security. Trustees for the retirement fund on April 23 projected it would run dry in 2033, three years earlier than last year's forecast.
It has been widely recognized for almost two decades that the current measure, the consumer price index, contains several biases that cause it to overstate inflation anywhere from 0.3 percentage point to 0.8 percentage point, depending on which expert you talk to. The miscalculation has damaging consequences for the U.S. economy. The CPI is the benchmark that determines cost-of-living adjustments for a wide range of government programs, including Social Security and federal employee pensions. It also is used to peg income-tax brackets, exemptions, deductions and credits.
Consumer Behavior
A more accurate measure has long been available in the form of the chained CPI, which corrects for one of the most prominent distortions -- the failure to track changes in consumer behavior. To calculate the standard CPI, Bureau of Labor Statistics employees shop for a market basket of 80,000 goods and services that are weighted to reflect consumer-spending patterns. Since 2002, the BLS has also compiled the chained CPI, a more exact measure that accounts for the substitutions consumers make when a product's price goes up. A shopper might respond to an increase in the cost of Granny Smith apples, for example, by switching to lower-cost Red Delicious, a process known as lower-level substitution. Or a consumer might react to a price increase in one item by switching to another category altogether, say less-expensive oranges instead of pricier apples -- called upper-level substitution.
While the standard CPI largely maintains the same basket of goods regardless of price changes, the alternative measure more accurately models substitution behavior by "chaining" two consecutive months of price data and adjusting the weights to account for a decrease in purchases of the more expensive product and increased purchases of the lower-cost substitute (more oranges, fewer apples).
On average, the BLS's chained CPI has been 0.25 percentage point to 0.35 percentage point lower than the standard CPI. That doesn't sound like much, yet switching to the alternate measure would produce as much as $300 billion in savings and revenue within a decade. The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that using the chained CPI to set cost-of-living increases for Social Security alone would save $112 billion from 2012 to 2021. An additional $33 billion could be saved by applying the measure to other federal spending.
Those estimates alone should make the chained CPI a slam dunk. The effect on tax collection would also be dramatic. The switch would mean smaller annual adjustments to tax thresholds. Many people's wages would rise faster than the new inflation index, pushing them into higher tax brackets and producing as much as $90 billion in new revenue over 10 years. It would also reduce interest payments on the debt by about $44 billion.
Political Cover
Making this change wouldn't require an extraordinary act of political courage. The adoption of the chained CPI has been an element of every serious bipartisan deficit-reduction plan of recent years, including those of Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles, Alice M. Rivlin and Pete V. Domenici, as well as the "Gang of Six" led by Senators Mark Warner and Saxby Chambliss. It also was among the ideas very nearly agreed on during last summer's debt-limit negotiations between the White House and House Republicans.
Moreover, it has found favor with think tanks of the left, such as the Center for American Progress, that usually oppose anything resembling a benefit cut, and those of the right, such as the Heritage Foundation, which typically bristle at proposals that can be construed as tax increases.
AARP and other groups have raised legitimate concerns that the new inflation measure would reduce future Social Security payouts. Those concerns could be addressed by improving benefits for low-income seniors. In any case, the Social Security trustees' report this week provides ample evidence that a quick correction is needed now.
Refining an economic gauge that is as fundamental as the CPI is simple common sense. It is understandable that a vigorous debate has erupted over just how much inflation -- if any -- is desirable or tolerable in our economy. But that discussion is entirely separate from the important step we are recommending: Let's make sure the measure we use is accurate.

Wheel Hub Rust
I have a 4 week old JGC ('12 Altitude) and there is rust coming out of the center hold of the black aluminum wheels. This appears to be rust from the hubs, obviously it is not the wheels). I does not harm the wheels, but it looks like crap. It is on all 4 wheels.
My questions are:
1. Has anyone else had this problem?
2. How did you solve it?
3. Is/was it a big deal?
I appreciate your input.

The Jane Austen Cookbook
by Maggie Black, Deirdre Le Faye
No current Talk conversations about this book.
The cookbook would have been greatly enhanced by inclusion of the passages from Austen's works which inspired the recipes contained in it. The book is more interesting from the standpoint of culinary history than from an attempt to provide recipes which modern cooks would wish to prepare. I have not yet figured out how to give 1/2 star ratings, but I'd really rate this as 3.5 stars.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English (1)
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0771014171, Paperback)Jane Austen wrote her novels in the midst of a large and sociable family. Brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews, friends and acquaintances were always coming and going, which offered numerous occasions for convivial eating and drinking. One of Jane's dearest friends, Martha Lloyd, lived with the family for many years and recorded in her "Household Book" over 100 recipes enjoyed by the Austens. A selection of this family fare, now thoroughly tested and modernized for today's cooks, is recreated here, together with some of the more sophisticated dishes which Jane and her characters would have enjoyed at balls, picnics, and supper parties. A fascinating introduction describes Jane's own interest in food, drawing upon both the novels and her letters, and explains the social conventions of shopping, eating, and entertaining in late Georgian and Regency England. The book is illustrated throughout with delightful contemporary line drawings, prints, and watercolours.
Authentic recipes, modernized for today's cooks, include:
• Buttered Prawns
• Wine-Roasted Gammon and Pigeon Pie
• Broil'd Eggs
• White Soup and Salmagundy
• Pyramid Creams
• Martha's Almond Cheesecakes

Overview of the INEX 2010 XML mining track : clustering and classification of XML documents
De Vries, Christopher Michael, Nayak, Richi, Kutty, Sangeetha, Geva, Shlomo, & Tagarelli, Andrea (2011) Overview of the INEX 2010 XML mining track : clustering and classification of XML documents. In Lecture Notes in Computer Science, Springer, Amsterdam.
Accepted Version
(PDF 214kB)
The XML Document Mining track was launched for exploring two main ideas: (1) identifying key problems and new challenges of the emerging field of mining semi-structured documents, and (2) studying and assessing the potential of Machine Learning (ML) techniques for dealing with generic ML tasks in the structured domain, i.e., classification and clustering of semi-structured documents. This track has run for six editions during INEX 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. The first five editions have been summarized in previous editions and we focus here on the 2010 edition.
INEX 2010 included two tasks in the XML Mining track: (1) unsupervised clustering task and (2) semi-supervised classification task where documents are organized in a graph. The clustering task requires the participants to group the documents into clusters without any knowledge of category labels using an unsupervised learning algorithm. On the other hand, the classification task requires the participants to label the documents in the dataset into known categories using a supervised learning algorithm and a training set. This report gives the details of clustering and classification tasks.

Produced and Directed by Rachel Grady and Heidi Ewing
WOMEN IN WAR looks at American women's increasing participation in war — from Vietnam to the present — as nurses, soldiers, journalists, diplomats and spies. Among those featured are Linda Bray, the first woman to lead troops into battle, and Valerie Plame, whose career was sabotaged after she was "outed" as a high-level spy. Viewers hear from war correspondents like Molly Moore about life on the battlefield. The film shares the stories of military leaders who have broken through gender barriers, like General Angela Salinas, at her retirement the highest ranking woman serving in the USMC, and Vice Admiral Michelle Howard, the highest-ranking woman in the history of the U.S. Navy. Produced and directed by Rachel Grady and Heidi Ewing. Narrated by Christiane Amanpour.

Time's Duffy and Tumulty declare Republicans lost, in part, for "spending like drunken Democrats"
Video ››› ››› JULIE MILLICAN
In a November 8 Time magazine online article, "It's a Good Morning for the Democrats," Time reporter Michael Duffy and national political correspondent Karen Tumulty, while reporting on the results of the midterm election, wrote that "the Republican Revolution that began in 1994" came to "an end," in part because the Republican Party "found itself spending like drunken Democrats."
From the November 8 Time online article:
But even before the outcome of Montana and Virginia is known, it was already clear that the vote was the biggest defeat of George W. Bush's presidency, depriving him of a governing majority in Washington and raising new doubts about his effectiveness and agenda for his final two years in office. Bush has scheduled a news conference for Wednesday afternoon.
The outcome brought an end to the Republican Revolution that began in 1994 but lost its way as the party that came to Washington to cut government spending and clean up a corrupt institution ran into scandals of its own and found itself spending like drunken Democrats. Meanwhile, the vote increases the onus on Democrats to go beyond merely criticizing the President and show voters they have a constructive agenda of their own.

Exemption for Farm Equipment and Machinery
A partial exemption from the sales and use tax became available under section 6356.5 for the sale, storage, use, or other consumption of farm equipment, machinery and their parts to qualified persons for use in qualifying activities. The partial exemption also applies to leases of certain farm equipment and machinery.
- The partial exemption applies only to the state sales and use tax rate portion. The exemption does not apply to any local, city, county, or district taxes. Sales and purchases of farm equipment, machinery and parts will continue to be subject to the remaining portion of the sales and use tax rate consisting of the local, city, county and any applicable district taxes.
- Qualified person means:
- Someone engaged in a line of business described in Codes 0111 to 0291 of the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Manual (1987 edition), or
- A person or employee who assists a person engaged in those codes by performing the activities in SIC Codes 0711 to 0783.
- The farm equipment, machinery and parts must be used primarily in producing and harvesting agricultural products. "Primarily" means 50% or more of the time.
- Farm equipment and machinery means "implements of husbandry" as defined in Revenue and Taxation Code section 411. Qualifying property includes, but is not limited to:
|Agricultural heating and cooling equipment
|Dairy production equipment
|Egg and poultry production equipment
|Feeding, watering and waste disposal systems for livestock
|Fencing and trellis support systems
|Ginning equipment
|Hand farm tools
|Handling and packing equipment
|Harvesting equipment
|Irrigation systems
|Livestock handling and care equipment
|Tractor implements
|Wind machines
- Farm equipment and machinery may also include materials and fixtures used to construct certain qualifying property such as agricultural operating structures, when sold to a qualified person prior to installation on real property.
- Agricultural operating structures are single purpose agricultural or horticultural buildings specifically designed and constructed for and exclusively used in the housing, raising and feeding of livestock, or for the commercial production of plants. These structures are more specifically defined by Treasury Regulation 1.48-10 (26 CFR 1.48-10).
Farm equipment and machinery also includes property designated as implements of husbandry in Chapter 1 of Division 16 of the Vehicle Code that is used exclusively for agricultural operations.
- Such property includes cotton module movers and automatic bale wagons. Also included are lift carriers, tip-bed type trailers, trailers/semi-trailers having no bed, spray or fertilizer applicator rigs, nurse rigs or equipment auxiliaries, row dusters, trap wagons, fertilizer nurse tanks or trailers, cotton trailers, and truck tractors and truck tractor/semi-trailer combinations when used in the manner specifically described in section 36005 of the Vehicle Code.
- Vehicles primarily designed for the transportation of persons or property on a highway are generally not considered implements of husbandry and, therefore, not exempt under this bill.
Parts of farm equipment and machinery generally include repair and replacement parts that are used to maintain, repair, or modify qualified farm equipment and machinery. Qualified parts include lubricants, coolants, and fluids that are not consumed as part of the operation of the equipment, for example, grease or transmission fluid. A product that is consumed as part of the operation of the equipment, for example, gasoline, is not a qualified part.
Leases - Taxable rentals payable from the lease of farm equipment and machinery to a qualified person may qualify for the partial exemption. If a lease qualifies for the partial exemption, rentals payable should be taxed at the lower rate.
The following criteria will qualify a lease for the partial exemption:
- The lessee must be a qualified person who will use the property primarily in agricultural production and harvesting.
- If the property qualifies as an "implement of husbandry" under the Vehicle Code (see above), it must be used exclusively in agricultural operations.
Leases of mobile transportation equipment - Leases of equipment that qualify as "mobile transportation equipment" (MTE) generally will not qualify for the partial exemption. Regulation 1661, Leases of Mobile Transportation Equipment, provides that the lessor of MTE is the consumer of the equipment and is required to pay tax or tax reimbursement on its purchase. Even when a lessor timely elects to pay tax on the fair rental value of the MTE, liability for the tax falls on the lessor. Consequently, the full amount of tax or tax reimbursement is due from the purchaser of the MTE unless the purchaser is a qualified person using the property primarily in agricultural production and harvesting. Under the Sales and Use Tax Law, MTE is generally defined as equipment used to transport persons or property for substantial distances. Included in this category of equipment are trucks (including pick-up trucks), truck-tractor units, trailers, reusable shipping containers, and railroad cars. For more details on leases of MTE see Regulation 1661.
Specifically excluded from the category of farm equipment and machinery is:
- Property used for administration, management, or marketing of an agricultural operation,
- Supply items such as shop towels, cleaning agents such as hand cleaners and solvents, and agricultural chemicals,
- Articles of clothing, except for clothing designed to protect an agricultural product or that is required by law when applying chemicals.
If you have a question about whether a specific piece or category of equipment is eligible for the partial exemption, please review the FAQs or contact the Board directly at 800-400-7115.
Partial Exemption Certificates
A retailer is relieved from the liability for the sales or use tax subject to the partial exemption if they take a partial exemption certificate timely and in good faith, from a purchaser stating that the property will be used in a qualifying manner as provided under section 6356.5. The partial exemption certificate should be retained for a period of not less than four (4) years.
A purchaser who provides a partial exemption certificate to a retailer and who does not use the equipment and machinery primarily in producing and harvesting agricultural products and, in the case of property qualifying as an implement of husbandry under the Vehicle Code, exclusively in agricultural operations, will be liable for the tax, plus interest and applicable penalties. Purchasers must maintain records supporting the use of the equipment, machinery and parts purchased under a partial exemption certificate.

I just bought a 04 CTS-v under the impression the motor needed to be replaced. The engine was running rough and would die if you let it idle; I got it home run a scan and came up with codes P0101 MAF and P0300 Random / multiple misfire. I drove the car home and it would run decent as long as I kept the RPM's above around 2800 RPM. If it dropped below that it seemed like it would start misfiring worse but I guess its only more noticeable with a low RPM vs high RPM.Is that a reasonable assumption? Any ideas on what could be the cause? I am thinking about changing the MAF and see what happens but I would rather not spend the money if there is a way to clean it or if there may be another issue causing both codes.
Forgot to mention that if am making the engine stay around 1200-1500 RPM I smell a very rich (unburned fuel) exhaust smell if I am just sitting in the driveway.

No one understand the spanish book boy, he is phoning to the girl's house and he wants to know her cell phone number… 😛
I lived in those years when you have to call your friends at home, and wait until their parents asked who you are, where do you live, who are your parents…
the entire paragraph is the rabbit one is confusing. what is that entire anecdote doing in a statistics book?
Ah yes… laughing at how dumb people by citing satire as if it were sincere. As in the "how to argue effectively" thing (it's Dave Barry), for example. I suspect many entries that would be funny were they genuine are actually farcical, but shown out of context. The most laughable component of this article is its writer.
I suspect you took the advice of Barry's work?

RAVENMARK: Scourge of Estellion An epic turn-based strategy game
View Single Post
April 9th, 2012, 06:29
I'm not sure what a pen is in the context you used it in, but I can enlighten you as to why people don't buy pc's or laptops at retail stores. They don't want them preloaded with tons of junk on them. My laptop, which will run several different games at the same time as well as 10+ pages open is 3 yrs old and runs circles around any tablet you'll see for the next few years or so. If it had come from a box retail store, I'm sure it would run much slower or destroyed by now. I think it cost me a bit over 1k, but three years after buying it I feel like I did well.
And nowadays, my machine is nowhere near tops of the line. I've seen a couple of real beast laptops, and if and when mine dies, that's what I'll be getting. Tablets might be nice for crossword puzzles or reading purposes, but when I game I want something with some umph.

I practice with ball ammo, but, every range trip my carry see's, I always run a few mags of JHP's through it. I always make sure my gun shoots SD rounds the same as my practice ammo.
This is a discussion on How much SD ammo to test for reliability? within the Defensive Ammunition & Ballistics forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; With ammo being hard to find these days (especially HST), how many mags/rounds do you run through your guns of SD ammo when you go ...
With ammo being hard to find these days (especially HST), how many mags/rounds do you run through your guns of SD ammo when you go to the range? Do you just shoot about 10 mags when you first get your gun to test the reliability of your gun/SD ammo combo and then just stick with range ammo for any future range time? I'm trying to conserve SD ammo but don't feel comfortable when I don't shoot at least a couple of mags of SD ammo every time I go to the range.
I practice with ball ammo, but, every range trip my carry see's, I always run a few mags of JHP's through it. I always make sure my gun shoots SD rounds the same as my practice ammo.
"Government is not the solution to our problem; government IS the problem". - Ronald Reagan 1981
You will pay for it but it is worth the test. I fire at least 50 rounds of it at one shot per second and you should not have one malfunction.
I use a +P+ 124gr Gold Dot 9mm
You do not think the 9mm is effective? Then let me shoot at you.
For Autoloaders I do a 500 round "break in" and then 200 rounds of my carry ammo in a timed qualification course that has both slow and rapid fire. 50 rounds per "qual" done 4 times with no malfunctions to prove to me that the gun works.
I have trouble getting Corbon locally, that and not being able to get enough of it to run the 200 round test is why I don't carry it.
I may run two to three mags (20-30 rounds) of anything I get new in the way of SD ammo. I've pretty much stuck with the 124gr+P GDHP for 9mm, and Remington Golden Sabers for the 40 S&W and the 45ACP. The carry ammo in my magazines gets rotated top to bottom as I load and unload over a period of time to prevent bullet set-back issues, and once every couple of months or so, I'll shoot up the magazines full of that particular SD ammo. If I am out of that particular brand, and need to go with something else, the testing starts all over again. But I try to stick with what I already know works well for my pistols if at all possible.
I usually run at least 100 rounds initially to make sure a new carry ammo is reliable.
After that, I'll usually empty my carry magazine through it whenever I go to the range.
However, fwiw, I've never had any type of premium ammo decide to stop working in any of my pistols after it's shown itself reliable.
I'm usually just cycling the ammo to keep fresh loads in my pistol.
There are no dangerous weapons; there are only dangerous men.--RAH
...man fights with his mind; the weapons are incidental.--Jeff Cooper
There is a reason they try and make small bullets act like big bullets--Glockmann10mm
Same as cuda.
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
When I first by a new pistol, I shoot a box of what I intend to shoot in the gun through it. Then, if there has been no errors, hiccups or miss feeds, I switch and practice with ball ammo.
When I return to the range the next time, I fire the magazine that is in the pistol, to confirm no malfunctions, and then switch to ball ammo the rest of the day.
I do not amass SD ammo. Instead I buy a new box about every six months, and then shoot the old ammo.
However, I do keep about a 1000 rounds of ball ammo for target pinking. And if the chips where down, and I had to have more ammo, a person shot a couple times with ball ammo is just as dead as if you shot him with the best SD ammo.
I usually shoot about 200-300 rounds through a pistol before I consider it safe for CCL. Exception being smaller pocket SD pistols; (Kel-Tec P3AT as an example) Being such a small frame, Ill only shot them about 50 times, with the ammo I intend to shoot in it.
Then I shoot the magazine that is in the pocket gun every time I visit the range.
Whenever I get a new pistol, I may fire hundreds of rounds of target ammo from various manufacturers to break in the pistol and uncover any problems. For SD ammo, I usually fire no more than 3 mags full to test for functioning of that particular ammo. If it doesn't fail in those 3 mags full, my experience is that it's not going to have a failure that can be attributed to the gun/ammo combination and to just test the gun function and reliability, it's much cheaper to do that with the target ammo.
In all honesty, the only pistols I've ever had any failures or problems with are my Kel-Tec PF-9 and my Para NiteHawg. The Kel-Tec will not feed Remington Golden Sabers. They don't even try to feed out of the magazine. The Para was due to magazine springs. Replaced the springs with Wolff springs and problems went away. This problem was not due to any gun/ammo combination, but was the magazine's fault.
I must be very lucky because even my PM-9, which is known to have some issues during break-in, has never missed a hitch. I've never seen much of an advantage to firing hundreds of rounds of high dollar SD ammo to test for function. Any malfunction that doesn't show up within the first 25-50 rounds is going to be a gun problem, not a gun/ammo combination problem. JMHO

500 rounds of ball and 2-3 magazines of HP per magazine that I would carry.
On range trips, I'll usually shoot whats in the magazine and switch to ball for the rest of the trip.
I am kind of paranoid on one front. I always shoot at least one magazine per box of carry ammo prior to declaring that box good to go.
There are two sides to every issue: one side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil.
Who is John Galt?
I fire a few of the SD loads over my chronograph to get the velocity. Then reload with the same type of bullet to the same speed for practice ammo. Loads must shoot to the same POI and I am good to go. I do run the SD ammo thru the gun every now and then just to makes sure all is well.
1-2 hundred rounds

Abort the Obamanation not the Constitution
Those who would, deny, require permit, license, certification, or authorization for me to bear arms are as vile, dangerous & evil as those who would molest, abuse, assault, rape or murder my family
If the carry pistol will shoot through a box of 50 without a sngle hiccup, I'd feel good with it.
Each time I shoot, I'll fire my carry ammo first, and then my range ammo. Then I'll load a mag with carry ammo as I'm ready to leave. I feel like this keeps me in touch with the carry ammo shot characteristics, and rotates carry ammo OK. I wanna know how it shoots, and how I shoot it, stone cold with no warm up.
For a carry pistol, shoot a couple hunderd ball ammo rounds. Clean the pistol, and then shoot 50, or so carry rounds. If you have not had a failure, and you are hitting the target well, you have a good combo.
Washington Post 06/28/2010 re: Supreme Court Decision
"The court's decision means that the enigmatically worded Second Amendment... identifies an individual right to gun ownership, like the freedom of speech, that cannot be unduly restricted by Congress, state laws or city ordinances. "
I find I only need to shoot about one mag thru my Glocks each time I go to the range....Usually Cor Bon or Gold Dot, and both recycle reliably, then I will go thru about 100 or more FMJ for practice. I do this about once a month.

Diamonds are formed below the earth's surface when at least 70,000kg of pressure per centimetre is combined with temperatures exceeding 690°F. A volcano would then bring the diamonds to the earth's surface where they can be mined. A perfect diamond is the result of the combination of those factors, making them a rare find – and expensive to buy too!
The cut is typically considered the most important of the four Cs. Cut, not to be confused with shape, focuses on how the diamond is actually cut – the more facets (flat surfaces) cut into the diamond the better, as they allow the light to pass through contributing to the sparkle.
The clarity describes the purity of the diamond. A jeweller can spot impurities, such as blemishes and flaws, with a special magnifying tool called a loupe. The fewer flaws and imperfections there are the more valuable the diamond is.
Diamonds are available in a range of colours. Traditionally colourless or 'white' diamonds where the most popular as they have a brilliant sparkle, but more recently coloured diamonds are growing in popularity, including yellow, pink and champagne coloured stones.
The carat describes the weight of the diamond. Each carat weighs 200mg.

Paco's Photo Album
A few years back I moved to a new location and was forced to leave my 30x40 w/10'walls metal shop. I moved to a neighborhood where I did not have the room to put this size shop again. I built a wood shop, 24x30 w/8' walls. I hope to someday install another 20' on the end making it a 24x50. This time, the newly added walls will be 10' at least. I have a 2 post lift in my shop and am able to use it because of the cathedral trusses I used when I built it. I have an "I beam" running the 30' length of my building, so I had to order the symmetrical two post lift. I use this lift, which lifts the bottom of the frame to a 6' height, for my '40 Buick coupe, '01 300M Chrysler, and my 92 Silverado. It is a 9000lb lift and I ordered it off the 'net at Lifts.com for $2100 delivered to my door. I have no problems working with my vehicles in my shop, and have lifted several other vehicles. I had a bit of trouble with a '48 Chevy Suburban, it couldn't be lifted to the max because the back of the cab would have hit my ceiling. But anything other than a minivan or something with a long cab like that will work OK. I would prefer an extra two feet in height or be able to turn my lift the long way in the shop,(cant because of door location)either one of these suggestions would solve my height problem. I tend to agree with most everyone else, build as big as you can afford and have enough room for. There are several metal "kits" on the market if you have inclination to do it yourself. That's what I did the first time. It's not all that hard to do, just like an Erector Set and requires very few specialty tools. No cutting, no welding, all bolted and screwed together. Two guys can do it without too much trouble, especially if you have a tractor to help do a little lifting with. Hope this helps some, PACO

Jacques was very accommodating and kind. When we arrived he immediately offered us espresso! The house was large enough for two families with a lovely outside deck and garden. The walk to the lake is short and safe.
You will need a vehicle if you stay here. My only complaint was that water pressure was low, but that may be indicative of the area rather than the home.
Plaisant home for 2 families : first floor is the common place, and the place for the first family ; second floor for the other family.
Very big garden.
The owners are very plaisant. We came with 4 children and they done everything for the children (beds, thons to secure the house...)
Just a bad point : the noice of the Road during the day (no noice at night).
For sure we will come back !
La maison est bien situé, prês du lac du Bourget et bien comuniqué pour visiter la région.
Les proprietaires aimables et disponibles, ont résolus un petit problème avec une salle d'eaux en deux jours.
Bien pour le wifi gratuit.
Peut-être en negatif, la manque de préssion d'eau á la douche et pas trop de pièces de vaisselle.
La maison est spacieuse et confortable, la literie excellente, le panorama sur le lac et les montagnes.
à 200m de la plage du Lido, idéal pour profiter des baignades à volonté. séance de ping-pong au jardin
location idéale pour 8 personnes, nous avons pris quasiment tous nos repas du petit dej au diner sur la terrasse.
un peu de bruit de circulation aux heures de pointe mais on l'oublie vite...
on y reviendra volontiers ! l'accueil des propriétaires est super !

*Check Back for 2017/2018 Program Dates and Information
Hockey Season Update from Tony Schwichtenberg, Program Supervisor: We are moving from the current 4-Level system to an age specific system. The goal of this program is to develop basic skating and hockey skills and prepare your child for future participation in the Owatonna Youth Hockey Association or for future play on a recreational basis on the frozen ponds of Minnesota. We emphasize FUN, active practices, and age-appropriate skills development.
There are three levels: Learn to Skate, U6 and U8.
Learn to Skate: If your child is a first time skater, this is where he/she will start the season, regardless of age. Once your child can skate reasonably well, we will encourage him/her to move into his/her age specific level (U6 or U8). Children with birth dates of 7/1/2011 or later will remain at the Learn to Skate level this year.
U6: Children with birth dates between 7/1/2009 and 6/30/2011 should register for the U6 level. Children in this age group that start the season in Learn to Skate will be encouraged to move to the U6 group as soon as they can skate reasonably well.
U8: Children with birth dates between 7/1/2007 and 6/30/2009 should register for the U8 level. Children in this age group that start the season in Learn to Skate will be encouraged to move to the U6 group as soon as they can skate reasonably well and then advance to the U8 level when they feel ready.
If your child's birth date is before 7/1/2007, they will skate with the U8 group. If you have a child at this older age that is just starting out, we welcome them to start out skating in the Learn to Skate group until they are comfortable on their skates and can skate reasonably well.
A helmet is required for everyone on the ice. An entire bag of protective equipment is available for rent through the Owatonna Youth Hockey Association rental program for $50 per year. Skates can be leased at Straight River Sports for an entire season for a reasonable cost. You can contact Tony Schwichtenberg, program supervisor for equipment rental at 507-461-7546 or email@example.com.

cockroach feces in air ducts
Ok so I moved into this house that had a roach infestation. I knew how to take care of the problem before hand by researching. So I used boric acid and got rid of the bugs, but what they left behind has been a nightmare! I had to use kilz underneath my counters, cabinets, anywhere the feces were. finally got the smell in my house gone. now autumn's here so i have to turn on my heat. I have found roach feces in my air ducts through heating up my home (and boy does it smell) and changing some of my vent covers. I can't afford someone to clean my ducts as its around $500 and I havent saved for it because I had no idea what I was getting myself in to with these stupid bugs. Can anyone please help me find a way to get rid of the smell and feces? I'll do anything as long as i dont have to hire someone yet.

What started World War 2? Who was in it?
Adolf Hitler wanted more land, especially in the east, to expand Germany according to the Nazi policy of lebensraum. Hitler used the harsh limitations that were set against Germany in the Versailles Treaty as a pretext for Germany's right to acquire land where German-speaking people lived. Germany successfully used this reasoning to envelop two entire countries without starting a war.
After having gained both Austria and Czechoslovakia, Hitler was confident that he could again move east, this time acquiring Poland without having to fight Britain or France. (To eliminate the possibility of the Soviet Union fighting if Poland were attacked, Hitler made a pact with the Soviet Union - the Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact.)
World War 2 lasted from 1939 to 1945. The countries of the world aligned with either the Axis powers or the Allies and battled in a total war.
So that Germany did not officially seem the aggressor (which it was), Hitler needed an excuse for attacking Poland. It was Heinrich Himmler who came up with the idea; thus the plan was code-named Operation Himmler.
When Germany attacked Poland on September 1, 1939, other European countries felt they had to act.
When was the end of World War 2?
WW2 in Europe ended with the unconditional surrender of Germany in May 1945, but the exact date varies depending on which of the victorious allies you're dealing with. The German surrender was given to the Western Allies (including Britain and the U.S.) on May 8th and to Russia on May 9th. In the East, the war ended when Japan surrendered unconditionally on August 5th, signing their surrender on September 2nd.

No defense for Penguins in shootout loss to Rangers
If this were a glimpse of the Penguins' defense, expecting another prolonged absence of Kris Letang, it didn't go well.
Hours after learning they might be without their top defenseman for the remainder of the season because Letang suffered a stroke, the Penguins played one of their poorest defensive games of the season in a 4-3 shootout loss to theNew York Rangers at Consol Energy Center.
"We've had some good efforts in close ones," left wing Tanner Glass said. "Not tonight, obviously."
It was the first time in 10 shootouts that the Penguins lost.
The Rangers fired 41 shots at goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury.
Penguins defensemen, other than the pairing of Matt Niskanen and Olli Maatta, did not acquit themselves well.
"The Rangers came out desperate," defenseman Brooks Orpik said. "I don't think they were too pleased with losing to Edmonton last night at home. For 58 minutes, we got outskated and outworked."
The Penguins looked like a team ready for the Olympic break. Seven of their players will travel to Sochi, Russia, this weekend, while the rest of the team will get time off.
The Penguins' play has been spotty of late, and it caught up to them Friday as they lost for only the fifth time at home this season.
It wasn't a strong night for the blue line.
Orpik was guilty of two interference penalties, the second of which led to Benoit Pouliot's third-period power-play goal.
Orpik's regular partner, Paul Martin, was unable to check Pouliot adequately on the goal, as the forward pounced on a rebound in front of Fleury.
"We weren't at our best over our past 10 games," right wing Craig Adams said.
Defenseman Robert Bortuzzo endured perhaps his shakiest game of the season, turning over the puck with regularly. His partner, Rob Scuderi, was on the ice for all three New York goals.
The Rangers, despite playing 24 hours earlier, were the more energetic team and needed only 64 seconds to open the scoring.
Coach Dan Bylsma, who also will head to Sochi to coach Team USA, didn't seem terribly disappointed. After all, the Penguins are still 16 points clear of the Rangers in the division.
"It's been pretty good play from us all around," Bylsma said. "We just didn't do enough tonight."
It was a tough night for the Penguins defense, but the youngest member of the group was stellar.
Maatta scored in the first period to tie the game and made a touch pass to James Neal with 2:56 remaining as the right wing managed to even the game.
"Olli made a great play there to set up Nealer," Orpik said. "It probably gave us a point we didn't deserve."
Neal was assessed a minor penalty for diving in the second period. It was his third embellishment penalty. The NHL rule books states that a player with three such penalties is subject to a one-game suspension, pending a telephone conversation with the director of Hockey Operations. Neal previously was suspended five games for kneeing Boston's Brad Marchand, although that suspension was handed down as part of Player Safety.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding Letang's status and a possible Neal suspension, the Penguins know they're in a good spot in the standings.
"The only way to play is to play to win, to prepare every night," Adams said. "If we do that, we're going to get a lot of wins."

Hockey Memorabilia
Some say the First Nations peoples of Canada introduced the world to ice hockey as we know it today. Others claim the source of the sport was a game called hurley, played in Windsor, Nova Scotia in the late 18th century.
Whatever its origins, hockey is a uniquely Canadian sport. During most of the 1800s, some form of hockey was ubiquitous north of the 49th parallel, and by 1875 the first indoor hockey game was played at the Victoria Skating Rink in Montreal. In a harbinger, perhaps, of things to come, rules were established a few years later.
By 1885, there were enough amateur hockey players in Montreal to form a league, which spawned a championship played during the city's annual winter carnival. The Governor General of Canada, Lord Stanley of Preston, eventually purchased a silver Sheffield trophy for the winners, and thus, in 1893, the Montreal Hockey Club became the first team, amateur or professional, to claim the Stanley Cup.
Professional leagues formed in the U.S. and Canada in the early 20th century, with the National Hockey League getting its start in Montreal in 1910. Imperial Tobacco promptly issued the first hockey cards for the 1910 and 1911 seasons.
After a drought of two decades, Canadian chewing gum companies O-Pee-Chee and Ice Kings issued hockey cards in 1933. The Ice Kings set only lasted one year, but OPC, as the company is known, made hockey cards until the early 1940s.
After World War II, Parkhurst produced hockey cards, and continued to do so until 1964, but its licenses limited its output of cards—in some years it only made cards depicting players on the Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens. Topps got into the game in 1954. By the late 1960s, OPC had resumed its association with hockey by distributing Topps cards with its name on them.
Other hockey collectibles from the 1960s were the plastic coins made by Shirriff, a maker of jelly desserts and puddings—these coins often featured the Salada Foods brand on them...
Shirriff was not the only dessert company to produce what are now considered hockey collectibles. In 1970, Dad's Cookies published a series of 144 vertically shaped cards featuring players like Bobby Orr, Tony Esposito, Jacques Plante, and Jean Beliveau. The cards are a bit of a curiosity since each player posed for his photo wearing an NHL Players uniform rather than his team uniform.
Signed hockey memorabilia is another favorite of hockey fans and collectors. Autographed, game-worn jerseys from Wayne Gretzky and Gordie Howe are highly prized (for both players, the older the jersey, the better). Game-used signed hockey sticks are also popular, as are team-signed sticks.
Pucks are in a class by themselves. Some just bear the player's signature, while pucks from 1972 and 1973 that were used to score a goal were cataloged and authenticated by the NHL—these pucks are usually signed and dated, and come with a certificate from the NHL.
In terms of printed matter, official NHL Hockey Guides are collectible, especially those from 1930s through the 1950s. And if you can find them, the 8-by-10 photos given away as promos by Bee Hive Golden Corn Syrup from 1934 to 1967 are terrific collectibles. More than 1,000 different photos were produced during the promotion's 34 years. Find one with a player's signature, and you've got a unique vintage hockey collector's item.

Only the Sacred
Paperback, 216 Pages
Price: $16.00
Prints in 3-5 business days
The materialist philosophy that has dominated Western civilization for the past four hundred years is coming to an end. In "Only the Sacred: Transforming Education in the Twenty-first Century," we are introduced to a new vision of reality where we sense a more profound world within the material world we know so well. In this remarkable collection of articles originally published in "Chrysalis," a publication of the Center for Education, Imagination and the Natural World, we journey with twenty-three educators through an exploration of fundamental questions of our time, a path of inner schooling for educators, and practices where a new understanding of a sacred universe is actualized in diverse educational settings. Inspired by the mentoring of Thomas Berry, this collection makes it clear that the depth and fullness of the universe, from the stars in the heavens to the dirt beneath our feet, cannot be known by the intellect alone. Only a sense of the sacred, deep... More > within the human soul, will reveal the whole.< Less

how does immigration impact a community?
Immigration brings cultural diversity to a community. Immigrants often will work at low-paying jobs that others in the community don't want.
Also -- established churches usually reach out to help new immigrants. Schools must educate the children, frequently offering ESL classes.

Monica Roxburgh lives in a world of fantasy. And it's paying off for the 27-year-old sculptor and owner of Goblin Art. Her two-person company creates wearable handmade masks out of vacuum-formed plastic, papier-m‰chŽ and neoprene and sells them on the Internet (www.goblinart.com) and at Saturday Market on weekends. The masks range from $20 to $250.
'Even in a bad economy people still want to go out and have a great time,' Roxburgh says. Her customers come to her searching for a one-of-a-kind mask for Halloween and other festive occasions such as Mardi Gras, Renaissance fairs and science fiction conventions
Roxburgh's handiwork is unique, and it shows up in a wide variety of places. Her masks are worn by the cast of the Oregon Coast Children's Theatre and the Northwest Childrens Theater and, right now, are part of the Maskmakers Exhibit 2002 at the Graystone Gallery in the Hawthorne District.
