Re: Miso Happy Time
Anyone have any ideas for improving this? I could REALLY use win.
I always hear that girl from any of a dozen Viet Nam movies when I hear "Miso." Maybe I'm not as clever as I thought. Anyway, I would appreciate your vote and advice as I'm new.

Picked up a bunch of 230 gr. Gold Dot HP bullet. I plan on loading them up for home defense and storing them away for a bad day. Wondering if anyone has worked up any good loads they might want to share.
What caliber? For the .45 ACP, I presume?
I use six grains of 231 for everything from 200 to 230 grains.
It seems to be just fine, but I've never chronographed it, or tested it for pressure. It doesn't show any pressure signs in my 1911s.
(Anybody who unquestioningly uses loading data picked up from a forum posting is foolishly taking his life and safety in his own hands. The fact that the loads I've mentioned work satisfactorily in my pistols has no bearing upon how they will work in yours. Start with five grains of 231, or less, and work up to a more powerful load, testing for pressure and velocity as you go along.)
Good point by Steve,always doublecheck data against a few manuals,the bullet or powder manufacturer and work up.The size of the chamber can influence pressure among other things.
Steve's loads are in line.I shot lots of lead before plated at 5.8gr under a 200 and that was max as listed.I have no pressure problems but I wouldn't try going more with a fast powder.I know people that have pushed the limits but they know individual powders and internal ballistics better than the majority of us.
This is getting down to splitting hairs,but watch the cases you use if you run the upper limit.Remington is thin walled with a greater case volume than Federal or Starline,this also means your die setup will have higher bullet to case tension in the latter.While it's basically very small,pushing the line in Remington cases could push you over in the others.Some powders are more forgiving than others,the amount of time the cases have been used,yadayada.The majority of my shooting was old mixed cases and 231 was good,when the case mouth split I just threw them away upon inspection.Good powder,and HP-38 is basically the same powder that is so close in weight and performance you'd think they are the same relabled. Watch switching primers too,some powders are sensitive to a change,others don't care.Whenever you change a component,even the lot the powder came from,you should always back off and do a quick rebuild to your load.If you're doing pussycat loads it isn't as bad as pushing the line.Be safe.
And I'm at my computer, in our office, and the books are in the dance-studio's basement, so I ain't gonna look right now.
But my memory says that rex's 5.8 grains of 231 was the maximum listed load, under a 230-grain bullet.
To take care of the thin-walled-case issue, and varying bullet-pull, I taper-crimp everything I load.
It seems to work.
OK. So?
Judging by the page from the Hornady manual you've reproduced, an even six grains of 231 should get a 230-grain bullet up to 850fps, or maybe just a little faster.
That's still within the proper limits for a 1911. (It was designed for 230 grains at 850fps.)
I use this load only because I've always used it. It dependably made "major caliber" in any IPSC test ever devised, and, since that's what I was competing in at the time, I adopted it from the other .45 ACP/1911 shooters around me.
I regularly check my brass for overpressure signs, but since the 1911 is so strongly built, my point of view is: "No worries, mate."
My 5.8 was for a lead 200gr as stated,but is in line with 230 jacketed.Always check data as we said.Out of curiosity I pulled out 4 manuals I found quickly,Speer 10th from 1979,Lyman 46th from '82,47th from '92 and 49 from '08.Lyman 46 and 47 list no 230 jacketed,to my surprize.
Speer 10th listed 5.1-5.6 of 231 for 230 jacketed RN
Lyman 49th was 5.2-5.8 for 230 jacketed RN,neither listed HP above 200gr I believe.
That Hornady is right there.This info is not absolute,and can't be.What is in the book is that bullet,case,powder and primer in that specific gun or reciever,shot on that day's atmospheric conditions.They could change a primer or lot of powder and get different readings on pressure to alter the data.If you compare everyone's current data for a powder with a said weight bullet,there's a variation.All this info is a guide to be compared to get a range of working weights.Start low and work up is the rule,not a suggestion.That is with the exception of a few powders that have an extremely narrow operating range like 296 or H110.The difference can be .2-.3 from start to max,and I believe these are mainly the nitro-glicerine based poders over the nitro-cellulose ones.
Unless this stuff is your life,and even theN, there are no absolutes.A max in your gun may not reach the published max,but a new lot of powder bought next year may let you hit it.I don't know if I said it in this thread,but conversely you can pass a max listed load safely-AS LONG AS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING!What would be a max load for me in 100 degree weather will be wimpy in the middle of a Wisconsin winter.Reverse that and you can have a blowout.The latter is a little out of scope for this conversation but it shows there are too many variables to set an absolute value.
This turned into a good thread.
Forgot,the data listed is normally conservative for safety and liability sake,unless noted in the data.296 would be an example of that note,dink around with some stuff and it gets violent real fast.
I have particular interest in this since I am about to get into reloading.
My six-grains-of-231 load was mostly used with lead bullets, 200- and 230-grain, in competition and practice.
But I have also used it with jacketed 230-grain bullets, without problems.
Most handgun cartridges need to be crimped—that is, the case mouth must be tightened around the bullet. The point is to keep the bullet in place while other rounds are being fired, and while recoil inertia is trying to unseat them.
• Revolver cartridges need the strongest crimp, since there's nothing to help retain the bullet of a chambered round. The normal pistol-cartridge seating die includes a shoulder that will roll-crimp a case's mouth, if the die body is screwed deeply enough into the press. One normally sets the seating stem and the die body so that the bullet is finally seated at the same time that the die is roll-crimping the case's mouth into one of the bullet's lubrication-or-crimping grooves.
• Straight-wall semi-auto cartridges should never be roll-crimped because normally such a cartridge headspaces upon the case's mouth. Also, the magazine helps retain bullets in their cases, so a strong crimp is less important. Instead of using the seating die to form the crimp, one normally uses a separate taper-crimp die. The taper crimp leaves enough of the case's mouth exposed to permit proper headspacing. (I even taper-crimp my .30-'06 cartridges!)
People don't believe this, but it's true:
In the normal 1911, with the original-design's internal extractor, the .45 case headspaces on the extractor!
It's not supposed to. It's supposed to headspace on the case mouth.
But if you apply a deep taper-crimp, or even a roll-crimp, things will still work correctly and the gun will fire without a problem.
It's a matter of geometry, and that the case feeds straight up the breech-face and right under the extractor's hook.
If this doesn't help, ask further questions.
It is best to seat and crimp with different dies,but that's a topic that can cause debate.
To start the bullet the case needs belled or the expander plug on rifle dies does the expansion to give the bullet room to press in without buckling the case.
On handgun cases you either taper crimp for pistols where the seperate seating and crimp comes in,or you roll crimp for a revolver all in the same step as seating.On a revolver the bullet is still moving as the brass is rolled into the bullet's crimp groove.
The taper crimp is meant to iron out the bell and get the case mouth ironed back out,not to actually squeeze the mouth into the bullet which can happen.Crimping a Remington case properly will cause a Fedaral or Starline case to imprint into the bullet,slightly.The problem with seating and crimping in one shot is that if the case is going to imprint into the bullet,the bullet is still moving like a revolver but there's nowhere for the brass to go.This can either cause bullet damage in minor cases or buckle the case if major.You get poor accuracy or a round that won't chamber.
The factory crimp die is a solution to improper reloading technique or setup.What it does is irom out the bell as a normal taper crimp does,but it also re-resizes the whole whole case.If you are needing this die,it's usually due to a tight chamber,an oversized bullet for the use,or improper setup of the normal dies.If you feel pressure after the crimp with this die,you are squeezing the whole round to a smallr diameter.That tells me your sizing die is too big and the bullet too large,right from the start,and the original problem is getting a bandaid.Similar to curing 1911 feeding hitches with a stronger recoil spring,it it forces the problem away instead of fixing it.I don't use any Lee equipment,I see them as the bottom of the line in the industry.They work,but for a few bucks more the quality and precision is well worth it.
rex, I gotta disagree a little...
1. There are many taper-crimp dies out there. Lee is not the only seller.
2. When I loaded for competition and training, I taper crimped (and still do) for the reason some people wear both suspenders and a belt: To make sure no bullet would displace and cause a jam.
3. Loading lead bullets, even bevelled-bottom ones, can still leave the case mouth expanded just a little. Taper-crimping is insurance. (See #2, above.)
Is it necessary? Probably not, in most situations.
But it certainly is cheap insurance.
excuse me..... what a fun ... it seems to read the old unkle suggestions.... but how can you give these numbers? ... if the guy reloads for a long barrell, the weapon opens with flames from the ejecting port!!!!! ... thanks god you are a senior member :-)
Rex and Steve, thank you very much. After much reading today, here and elsewhere, I'm starting to see the light.
Keep in mind, all of this is coming from a newbie that has never touched a press. These are just the conclusions I have drawn from my research.
Parlo tedeschi i francesi, ma non parlato italiano. :oops: And your English is as bad as my Italian. :smt083
Thus, I'm not certain that I understand your comment.
The .45 ACP load I specified is not for use in a long barrel. But if it were used in a long barrel, the powder would be completely burned well before the pistol's ejection port opened.
I am a senior member because I have led a careful life. Thus it has become a long life as well. Had I not been careful, I would not be here to become a senior member. :yawinkle:
Does the Italian language permit word-play (puns)? So: I have retained all of my members, including the most important one, and they have become senior too. :anim_lol:
Steve,I was typing fast on lunch break as you were at the same time (yeah,I'm sloow).I agree with your post before mine,dead nuts and more technical on design.I think you misconstrued my post,possibly because it was typed as fast as I could.I believe the Lee die is a bandaid,and I don't use any of Lee's equipment.My old RCBS dies size the case for everything but the tightest chamber I would say,but I haven't tried them in a Nowlin barrel,a BarSto is no prob.I seat only,then use a Dillon crimp die to iron out the mouth back to norm at .470/.469 in mixed brass.
I see quite a few people swear by Lee's die,and they need it to get reliable fit.Since straight walled pistol brass doesn't lenghthen like bottlenecks,that means something is wrong to begin with if it won't chamber in a mid spec SAAMI chamber.If this die is needed,it also rules out the bullet shoulder or ogive bottoming out prematurely.The round is just too large in diameter due to the sizing die being off,not removing the bell completely,the bullet is too large (with minimal exception to chamber/bore diameter),and case bulging.The Lee die will shrink the whole ID back down,but it's an unnecessary step to correct a previous problem.
Capt Zero,there is a little language barrier here,no fault of yours.As Steve said,these are pistol loads and not well suited to much longer barrels.If you are getting flames blowing out the breech,it's unlocking too soon.Could be an issue with the gun or could be a powder that will work but is a poor choice for that particular gun/barrel length.Since I'm 1/2 asleep,I'd guess the powder is way too slow and/or too much of it for tha application.
6.1Gr. of Vihtavuori N340 yields the same velocity (830fps) as factory 230GD loads as chronoed out of my M&P45 (4.5" barrel)

Sewer Floor Drain
Hey folks I have a question for you!! I recently had the sewer back in our house. With there being three drains downstairs it came up there. Needless to say it made one heck of a mess. In cleaning this up I have found out this has happened in the house before, we have only lived in this house one month; and the reason I know this is because I have found mold on the back of the sheet rock. Not enough to go crazy over but it is there. Anyways the line was snaked and cleared out but now I am afraid of this happening again. I talked to my local plumber and he is looking into a way to solve this but no word yet. The three drains are in the basement in the concrete, so no chance of adding anything on without breaking concrete. After some internet searching I found this check valve plug thing, it is called "Flood-Guard" It looks like it should work, but I was wondering if any of you have worked with one of these before and how well they work? They can be purchased pretty cheap and look pretty easy to install, I just thought I would throw it out there and see what you all think. Let me know!! Thanks!!
Is the problem still present or did you get it worked out?
Are you on city sewers or septic?
Did you get to try those check valves for your drains if so would you recommend them to others?
I had once helped install a main line flapper style check valve it seemed to work out pretty good for them. They had the city sewers coming back into there line. With a bathroom in there basement also having water pushing up the style you found would of not worked for them.
Well right now I am still working on the room that the water back up into. Replacing the sheetrock since it got wet and there was mold on the opposite side showing me that this is not the first time it has happened. Anyways I haven't had the problem again yet, knock on wood. No I haven't had the chance to try these check valves out yet and not sure if I will. It would fix one part of it, but it would still come up through the shower drain and it is to much work to put one in there. When talking with my local plumber he suggested two things, one the flapper valve that you talk about. I really don't want to go that way because he said the only correct way of doing it is by basically cutting a hole into my basement floor and attaching it there. I am not for that because my basement is finished and it would screw it all up by doing that and plus you have to leave an access hole for it and that isn't something I want to do. The second suggestion from him was to just replace the whole line from the outside of the house to the main sewer line, oh yes it is a city sewer system. I liked that one the best and I also talked to a friend who had similar problem with his house about ten years ago when he bought it and that is what he did and hasn't had a problem since. I am sure the line is original since the house was built in 72' so I am sure the line is not in the best shape. So with that knowledge now that is my plan of action. Thanks for checking in and I hope this helps anyone that is out there with a similar problem.
The Sewer line I wrote of was backing up due to the city sewer being over taxed in a storm. the water flowed back threw the pipe into the home. A new sewer line to the street would not have fixed it and it is possible depending on your elevatation and how the sewers are routed you may have the same problem. We did not cut the floor on that install. I was a helper in the project but I remember it well because it was over 100 degrees on the two days we dug. We dug a manhole to the sewer line next (about 4 to 8 feet away) to the house. The hired plumber then cut into the pipe and installed the valve with large rubber couplers. Then he use dry brick (no motor) to make the sided round and slowly tapered in to the side of the concert top that held the access cover providing future access to the valve if required.
By the way those flapper valves are not fool proof ether debris stuck in the closing valve the and water can still get in! What always sucks about the water coming in is all the damage it can cause.
I here you on the flapper valves, and my plumber had stated about the debris also. As for the back up, it was due to just a clogged line. I had a plumber come out and he snaked the line both ways, into the house and out to the main line. Nothing was found towards the house but there was stuff out towards the main line. To tell you the truth and I am sure if the wife see this she will kill me. The problem was her tampons, she had flushed them and they caused the clog in the line, "sewer mice" as the plumber called them. Also in her offense I talked to one of the owners of this house about three owners back and he said he had problems with the sewer back then. He stated that he would just have the line snaked once a year to be safe and that worked for him. So yes it was the wife, but it is also a bad line too I believe. So I guess I am also saying make sure your wives out there don't flush them thing down the drain, they will swell and possibly clog your line up!!
Oh yeah I also thought about digging up just outside the house too, not sure why my plumber didn't suggest that. Oh well either way I think I am going to replace the line when the money is there!!!
Ahh yea the "sewer mice" don't do those with septic systems and good ether.

Dear Colleagues,
Today's CHROs must understand not only how to manage a multigenerational workforce but also how to how to hire, train and retain the right employees in a tough economy. Even when the economy suffers, CHROs still need to support and grow the business beyond traditional expectations. Otherwise, we risk becoming obsolete.
It's imperative for our region's HR leaders to come together at the fifth annual Vancouver, BC CHRO Leadership Summit. Collaboration is the key to improving our leadership, making our companies more competitive and strengthening our economy even while we face challenging market trends.
As the only regional conference created "by CHROs, for CHROs," this invitation-only gathering provides valuable networking, private and candid conversations, and an unmatched — and crucial — day of insights for Western Canada's HR executives.
We look forward to seeing you in June.
Your Governing Body Chairs

Seems a bit late for this announcement, but here is the release from the Browns this afternoon:
Browns running back Trent Richardson was voted the Pepsi MAX NFL Rookie of the Week for games played on September 13-17, the NFL announced today. He is the first Browns rookie to win a weekly award since Charlie Frye was named the Diet Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Week in Week 17 of the 2005 season.
Richardson rushed for 109 yards with a 32-yard touchdown run and caught four passes for 36 yards with a 23-yard score at Cincinnati last Sunday. He became the first Browns rookie to rush for 100-yards in a game since 2003 and his 109 rushing yards are the most of any NFL rookie this year in a single-game.
Richardson was selected from among five finalists through fan votes on NFL.com/rookies. The other finalists were punter Johnny Hekker of the St. Louis Rams, quarterback Andrew Luck of Indianapolis Colts, quarterback Ryan Tannehill of Miami Dolphins and quarterback Russell Wilson of the Seattle Seahawks.
Now let's just hope T-Rich can build off that success this week against the Bills.

NMSU to hold 'social justice' symposium
LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico State University is set to hold a conference on social justice.
The school is scheduled Friday to start its annual J. Paul Taylor Social Justice Symposium [auth] that aims to tackle quality of life issues in southern New Mexico.
The two-day event is expected to draw community and religious leaders to discuss health and economic disparities, food security, education and literacy around Dona Ana County.
Officials also hope to address public transportation problems in the area.
The event is named after J. Paul Taylor, a pioneer economist who studied poverty, Mexican Americans and migrant farmworkers in the 1920s and 1930s. He later became one of the few whites to protest the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II.

Fantasy art scenes are usually handled with a liberal sprinkling of Photoshop plug-in fairy dust – but you don't have to slavishly follow that route. By creating your own brushes in Adobe Illustrator, and using scanned elements with Photoshop, it's a simple process to create otherworldly scenes that are alive with glow effects and shafts of virtual light.

This masterclass takes a standard stock model and applies layers of light and vector shapes to generate a wonderful artwork.
During this tutorial, you'll learn to wrap your source image into a multitude of layers that add a fantastical theme to your art. The key here is to tread softly. When recreating fantasy light effects, soft brushes and fine application is the order of the day. Anything that's too heavy can ruin the look.
The tutorial also draws on tools such as a toolbrush and screwdriver in addition to digital design tools to create the whirling snow effect.
Obviously, the final result is down to you, but you should also experiment with colours and blends once you've mastered this technique to create your own look.

The University of Chicago today announced that the Energy Policy Institute at Chicago (EPIC) has received a $1.5 million gift from the Fuel Freedom Foundation to establish the Future of Transportation Fuels Initiative.
The Initiative will support EPIC faculty and experts studying the economic and policy impact of oil and alternative transportation fuels. The gift will also fund Ph.D. students and a visiting professorship, and extend outreach programs to the public. EPIC is a joint enterprise of the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and Harris School of Public Policy.
"This generous gift will help EPIC conduct the data-driven research that policymakers and business leaders need to make sound, evidence-based energy policy decisions," said Robert Topel, co-director of EPIC and the Isidore Brown and Gladys J. Brown Distinguished Service Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
"EPIC is built on the conviction that meeting our future energy needs and enhancing energy security, while limiting adverse environmental and social impact, starts with the development of sound public policy. This gift will greatly aid our effort toward that end," said Robert Rosner, co-director of EPIC and the William E. Wrather Distinguished Service Professor in the Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics and Physics, the Enrico Fermi Institute, and the Computation Institute.
"This is a critical time for our nation as we search for ways struggle to lower fuel costs and achieve energy independence," said Yossie Hollander, co-founder of the Fuel Freedom Foundation, a non-profit, non-partisan organization in Irvine, California. "The University of Chicago is renowned for its rigorous economic analysis and we are privileged to be its partner on this vital project."
"In addition to oil, we have an abundance of natural gas, ethanol and methanol," said Joe Cannon, president of the Fuel Freedom Foundation. "We need to understand the impact all of these fuels can have in bringing down the price Americans pay at the pump."

Domaines Ott Clos Mireille Cotes de Provence Rose 2011
Rosé from Provence, France
Winemaker's Notes
This is an elegant Rose with a pale peach color with shimmers of gold. The expressive nose associates apricot and cherry aromas with floral notes of blackwood and broom. There is a subtle balance between a lively and firm attack with notes of citrus fruits and a sweet roundness with notes of fresh fruits and mimosa. The firm and intense finish lasts over aromas of wild spices.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast - "This is a delicate, beautifully-poised wine, so crisp and lively. The ocean-influenced vineyard site helps to keep the wine light. This is what summer rosé is about."
International Wine Cellar - "Light orange. Redcurrant, rhubarb and blood orange on the nose and palate. Supple and expansive, offering juicy red berry and candied citrus flavors along with hints of tarragon and honeysuckle. Clings with impressive tenacity, leaving floral and citrus pith notes behind."
Domaines Ott Winery
Domaines Ott was founded in 1912 by Alsatian engineer Marcel Ott. Today, the wineries are owned and managed by Champagne Louis Roederer, producing some of the world's most prestigious wines. These wines are made at three distinctively different estates: Château Romassan (Bandol), Clos Mireille and Château de Selle (both Côtes de Provence). View all Domaines Ott Wines
About ProvenceView a map of Provence wineries Grenache and Cinsault. A move is being made to bring in more varieties, like Syrah, to increase the quality of the wines.
Notable FactsThe most important appellation is Côtes de Provence, where about 80% of the production is the typical style rose. Unfortunately, the easy-drinking aspect does not translate to the price – some of these wines are a bit pricey for drink-today wines. Some producers are making a shift to higher quality while others are selling their wines at a bargain. Either way, Côtes de Provence rose is a delicious match with any provence-style garlic-y cuisine. Other appellations to note include Bandol, Bellet, Les Baux-de-Provence, Cassis and Côteaux d'Aix-en-Provence. Though Côtes de Provence rules in amount of wine produced, the quality appellation to know is Bandol. Mostly red and mostly Mourvedre, the wines of Bandol are able to age a few years, like many a Chateauneuf-du-Pape, but also enjoyed in their youth.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

The Polish movie, Aftermath or Pokłosie, was released in its native country on November 9th, 2012, and on November 1st, 2013, in the United States. It was both written and directed by Wladyslaw Pasikowski. It was distributed by Menemsha Films and Monolith Films. The movie is spoken in Polish, as could be imagined. Initially Aftermath was going to be titled Kaddish, which is a Jewish prayer used for those who are in a state of mourning.
Around the turn of the 21st century a man and historian named Jan T. Gross published a work called Neighbors. According to Gross and his research the Polish were responsible for murdering hundreds of Jews living in Jedwabne. As can be expected, his new findings and declaration caused quite a stir especially in the Polish community. Initially it was believed that it had been the Nazis who had killed these Jews, and many accused Gross of anti-Polish slander. Other Polish people looked into the history more closely and were struck with a sense of curiosity, and one of those people was the writer and director of Aftermath, Pasikowski. Pasikowski had a lot of trouble getting the film made because it is still a very touchy subject for many Poles. He faced challenges in securing financial funds and in determining the most tactful way to tell the story. After seven years the producer, Dariusz Jablonski, got financial backing for the film.
Aftermath is a contemporary drama and it takes place in a fictional town called Gurówka. The whole story unravels in the early 2000s and falls on a Polish man named Franciszek Kalina. Franciszek has lived in Chicago for many decades and things are set in motion when he agrees, although begrudgingly, to return back to Poland. He comes home to his brother Josef, who is still running and maintaining the family farm. He learns that although the town is much the same his brother is quite different in several ways. For one, his wife has left him, and he is in fact being shunned by the community because he had been collecting Jewish tombstones and putting them out for display on his land. These tombstones had been used in a no-longer-occupied road as paving stones for the German forces.
Not only does Josef spend his time and energy hunting down and hauling the stones into their new cemetery he even goes to the trouble of restoring them. No one in the town talks about the disappearances of the Jews, even now. At the beginning Franciszek does not understand why his brother is going all of this, but soon he adapts the same mindset as Josef and begins helping him. Together the two brothers begin unearthing more and more history, gathering land records and even bodies, all against the wishes of the town which is growing increasingly unhappy with Josef and Franciszek. Eventually they discover that there is a terrible secret and monstrous lies hidden in the town—that the Poles themselves, and not the Nazis, had murdered many of the local Jews. Violence erupts as the truth unfolds.
Although Aftermath is seen as entertainment in many places it is much more than that in Poland. Not only is the film widely debated in Poland, some right-wing critics calling it Anti-Polish, but it has even been banned in certain places. The film was made out of a sense of duty to history in an attempt to provoke thoughtful interest and discussion about its content.
IMDb gives Aftermath 7.3/10 stars. Most of those who have seen it in the United States found it to be a very good movie worth the watch. Some reviews say that it is interesting and engaging even for those who are not interested in the historical aspect of the film. Many who watch Aftermath do care about the history behind it, however, and go on to call it sad but factual. Many say they do not understand why it has caused so much controversy as history does not change based on opinions, and even so, it was a very long time ago. Viewers say the cast and acting were solid, to say the least, and that the overall quality of the production was good.
Of course, there are others who strongly disliked Aftermath for its message, many of whom call it propaganda. One critic says that the relationship between the Poles and Jews is not realistically depicted, as it was much more complicated than the film presented. They state that there were reasons for resentment between Poles and Jews which Aftermathdid not explain, such as the Jews trying to submit Poland to Soviet rule. They also say that German troops were likely influencing the murder of the Jews more than was showed. Whatever your opinions are the film provides a thought-provoking piece. You can watch this movie online when you subscribe to one of the Time Warner Cable Internet Plans.

Indiana attorney Sarah Ross recently was awarded the 2013 Indiana County Court of Common Pleas Pro Bono Award.
Indiana County President Judge William Martin said Ross consistently demonstrates her commitment to serving the needs of those less fortunate and she was instrumental in the implementation of a pro bono program created by Martin that provides counsel for unrepresented individuals in protection from abuse cases.
Ross was also instrumental in acquiring a $10,000 grant from the Pennsylvania Interest on Lawyers Trust Account Board. The grant was awarded to the Alice Paul House, a nonprofit victim advocate agency, and will be used to provide personnel to assist with PFA petitions and hearings.
Ross also assists others in need through her work with Children and Youth Services and Aging Services.
Her dedication to the citizens of Indiana County and the Indiana County Court of Common Pleas is commendable, Martin said.

Indian Ocean Sees Smallest Tuna Catch in 11 Years
Date: 28-Aug-07
Country: MAURITIUS
"The total catches recorded ... during the first four months
of 2007 is estimated at 75,000 tonnes, the lowest catch reported
for that period since 1996," the multinational Indian Ocean Tuna
Commission (IOTC) said in a report seen by Reuters on Monday.
"This represents a decrease of 36 percent over the catches
reported for the same period of the previous year."
In the past, higher sea surface temperatures blamed on
global warming have driven tuna deeper, out of reach of nets.
But higher catches over the last four years may also have cut
the ocean's yellowfin and skipjack tuna numbers, experts say.
"The bigger question is whether this decline is a
consequence of environmental conditions, or whether somehow the
catches of the past few years have affected the population
levels," IOTC head Alejandro Anganuzzi said by telephone.
"Probably in a year or two we will have all the data for our
computer modelling to assess the current situation."
Joel Bruneau, general manager at a tuna processing company
owned by Ireland Blyth Limited said catches had begun
to recover since April, when prices for yellowfin tuna in the
Seychelles were up 50 percent on the levels of a year earlier.

Signed Joba Chamberlain (RHP) to a one-year deal worth $2.5 million, pending physical
Designated Danny Worth (IF) for assignment
The organization made yet another move at the Winter Meetings, adding hard throwing right-hander Joba Chamberlain to a one-year deal. Chamberlain was once a highly regarded reliever with closer potential, but injuries and inconsistency have plagued him over the past couple years, with an ERA over four and WHIP's of 1.55 and 1.74.
Given the limited cost of the deal, it's a relatively low-risk move, however, a bit confounding as the Tigers passed on the opportunity to bring back Jose Veras earlier this off-season for just slightly more money, and by all indications, Veras was pitching better when 2013 concluded.
The team let go of Danny Worth, who likely had the writing on the wall with the acquisition last month of Steve Lombardozzi to be the team's utility infielder. Worth spent much of 2013 in Toledo dealing with a heel injury and never emerged as a true threat on the big league team.
For the latest transactions and to discuss them further, make sure to check out the minor league movement thread on the TigsTown Premium Forum: 2014 Signings/Movement Thread
Posted by Wez, 12/13/13
Signed Rajai Davis (OF) to two-year contract worth $10 million
Designated Luis Marte (RHP) for assignment
The Tigers answered the question about their plan for left field, signing the speedy outfielder to likely share time with incumbent Andy Dirks. Davis spent the last three years in Toronto, where he hit .252 over that span with 125 stolen bases. The platoon aspect likely makes the most sense, as for his career he hits .294 with a .779 OPS against left-handed pitching.
Marte is still well liked in the organization due to his impressive breaking ball, but went down in the first week of the season with a labrum injury, and ended up having surgery on the shoulder in June, ending his season.
Posted by Wez, 12/13/13
Signed Joe Nathan (RHP) to two-year contract worth $19 million with a club option for 2016
Designated Dixon Machado (SS) for assignment
It seemed very clear to most onlookers that the Tigers needed to make some drastic changes to their bullpen, and Nathan is the clearest sign of that, as he'll lock down the closer's role for the club over the next two seasons.
Of course, signing Nathan simply fills a hole that wasn't much of a problem in 2013, either, as Joaquin Benoit did very well for the Tigers. The bigger questions remain having reliable relievers in the late innings to bridge the gap between the starters and closer, and that issue has still gone largely unaddressed.
Machado remains a defensive whiz, but hit poorly in 2012, and then lost almost all of 2013 to injury. He's still a prospect, but the Tigers have other players that are more in need of being protected than Machado.
Posted by Wez, 12/06/13
Traded Doug Fister (RHP) to Washington Nationals in exchange for Steve Lombardozzi (UT), Ian Krol (LHP) and Robbie Ray (LHP)
Signed Don Kelly (UT)
A perplexing decision from the Tigers, trading one of the key members of their rotation for a trio of players, none of whom have an exceedingly high ceiling. Lombardozzi is largely a utility player that might provide some protection at second and third base (only the Tigers also re-signed Don Kelly), while Krol provides the team a solid left-handed specialist in the bullpen, but as of now is not likely to be a late-inning, high leverage reliever.
The krux of the deal likely comes down to the future success of Ray, a 22-year old southpaw starter who excelled in both High-A and Double-A in 2013. However, he's not considered one of the top prospects in baseball, and so even though he'll be one of the top few pitchers in the Tigers organization, that's not a sure fire bet.
Posted by Wez, 12/06/13
Signed Will Startup (LHP)
Signed Ronny Paulino (C )
Signed Jhan Marinez (RHP)
Signed Pat McCoy (LHP)
Signed Eduardo Sanchez (RHP)
Signed Mike Hessman (1B)
The organization made a half dozen signings in November to help strengthen the upper levels of the farm system in particular. Arms like Eduardo Sanchez and Jhan Marinez have some limited big league experience, and could potentially factor into a bullpen competition, depending on how the rest of free agency shakes out for the Tigers.
Posted by Wez, 12/06/13
Added the contracts of the following players to the 40-man roster;
Daniel Fields (OF), Jordan Lennerton (1B), Kyle Lobstein (LHP), Justin Miller (RHP), Steven Moya (OF), Eugenio Suarez (SS), Jose Valdez (RHP)
Most of the moves were expected to play out as they did, with the Tigers protecting key players that would be susceptible to being snagged in the Rule 5 draft, such as Steven Moya and Eugenio Suarez, Suarez and Daniel Fields especially, as both offer the sort of skill-set that could translate to a limited bench role on a big league club now, with further development hoped for down the road.
The lone surprise of the day was the inclusion of Lennerton, however, the Tigers have liked his defense for some time and he's been a productive player at first base. The decision of course was likely related to the decision made to trade Fielder.
Posted by Wez, 12/06/13
Trade Prince Fielder (1B) and $30 million cash to Rangers in exchange for Ian Kinsler (2B)
The Tigers got the off-season started with a bang, shipping out their prized free agent from just two years ago, with still seven years left on his deal, in an effort to free up money and improve the club's speed and defense, also potentially opening up an ability to shift Miguel Cabrera to first base.
The $30 million is due to the Rangers from 2016-2020, leaving the Tigers with substantial payroll savings in 2014 and 2015.
Posted by Wez, 12/06/13
Released Robbie Weinhardt (RHP)
Released Gustavo Nunez (SS)
Re-signed Blaine Hardy (LHP)
Signed Justin Miller (RHP)
The organization let go of a couple long-time farm hands in Weinhardt and Nunez, though Nunez did spend 2012 with the Pirates.
Hardy was an individual that showed well late in the year in Toledo, and the Tigers sent him to the Arizona Fall League to get in more work, putting time in mostly as a reliever. He has a 4.50 ERA with 13 strikeouts over seven appearances in the AFL.
Miller is an interesting signing, a former prospect that looked very good in 2011 but underwent Tommy John surgery in 2012 and didn't rebound to his prior form in 2013.
Darin Downs (LHP) claimed off waivers by Houston Astros
Matt Tuiasosopo (OF) claimed off waivers by Arizona Diamondbacks
Declined 2014 option on Jose Veras (RHP), making him a free agent

I don't know what I expected when I started blogging. Actually, I had no expectations at all. I was completely amazed when I received my first comment. But even if I had expectations, I can assure you that making friends would not have been on that list. How do you become friends with someone you've never met? Turns out it is quite easy and absolutely wonderful.
Last month, I posted on my Facebook page that I was getting ready to go do a photo shoot, that it was cold, and wouldn't it be nice if my daughter, Kate, would knit me some fingerless gloves. Well, a dear, sweet blogging friend, Chelle of Queen of Kafooster posted that if Kate wouldn't make me gloves then she would!! Then Kate weaseled in on the deal and asked for gloves too. And then Chelle, in her complete and utter awesomeness, said that she would knit some for both of us!!
What makes this so amazing is that I have never met Chelle. She lives in Hillsboro, Oregon, which by the way, I have no idea how far it is from Soddy Daisy, TN, but it's far. Really far. The odds are pretty good that we'll never meet. Though, if I win the lottery this year (and it was my resolution, so it better happen soon), she will be my first road trip. Chelle and I became friends over many email conversations. She has two delightful sons, both with Asperger's, and I'm a special ed teacher, so we bonded over that. She has offered me lots of advice along the way. Eventually we became Facebook friends, and now we are fingerless gloves friends.
I love blogging. I love the friends I have made. I love Chelle. I love my fingerless gloves. I love both pairs, but I suppose I will give a pair to Kate.

Should I bathe my dog now?
My puppy is really stinky but i went online and i found out his breed (rat terrier) needs bathing ever 6 months.

You can still bathe your dog. I don't understand what you mean by this question. Of course you can give your dog a bath, and it is reccomended that Rat Terriers get a bath a few times a year, even if they aren't stinky. It just gets anything out of their coat or skin that may be hanging in there. If your dog is dirty or stinky, then its fine if you give them a bath. Be careful how much you bathe your dog, however. Too much bathing can result to dry and itchy skin. Please paw mail me if you have any other questions.
Brutus answered on 7/23/10. Helpful? / 0
I have two breeds that aren't suppose to have baths often. We don't follow the 6 month rule. If they are stinky they get a bath. I don't bath more than every 4 months though because it can strip away the natural oils in their fur. If they get dirty or stinky between that time I just give them a quick rinse with warm water and rub them down with an old towel to get the dirt off.
Vivace answered on 7/24/10. Helpful? / 0
I find that some breeds are stinky then others. Like my shepherd she gets like two baths a year.
Then the other ones like every 6 months and that is pushing it.
I did notice that the ones coat is a little less stinky since I feed her raw.
I do believe that some dogfoods do cause dogs to smell slightly more.
Have you considered feeding them a fish based food.?
You can also use a different shampoo. I use ones that are more natural with no artifical colors, scents, and additives like sulfates.
The natural stuff extends the good smells longer I think it does.
I can't find petpromise anymore but there is others like Earthbound and solid gold herbal if you can find it.
Dieta answered on 7/24/10. Helpful? / 0
Here's the thing about going online and looking up information....if you look at three different sources, you'll get three different types of information.
Yes, some dogs are susceptible to cold more than others. And a rat terrier is one of those breeds. Low body fat and a very hard (short) coat can mean the dog gets hypothermia or is more prone to pneumonia even if the dog is bathed and dried properly in what seems like ideal conditions.
And it's true that very young puppies should never be bathed unless there is a real reason to (medical issue or being sprayed by a skunk, etc.) And in those cases, they can be bathed by the vet's office.
If you really feel she's smelly, ask your vet what they think you should do. There may be a reason why she smells badly (intestinal parasites like worms or even a disease like parvo can cause a bad odor, puppies don't usually smell bad for no reason.)
If she's healthy, you can certainly bathe her more often than twice a year when she's an adult.
Jack answered on 7/25/10. Helpful? / 0
I would give the puppy a bath. For your own sake and hers! I believe most terriers tend to have oilier skin which gets worse if you bathe them all the time? A groomer told me this, but I have never had a terrier myself so take it as you wish. If you want a very gentle shampoo that will not harm her skin or hair, check out www.myPETfection.com. They offer Puppy Suds Shampoo which is 100% Organic and Non Toxic. I love it because it contains no chemicals or artificial ingredients, I find it to clean really well and rinse super easy, and it has a great light smell! Hope this helps.
Petri answered on 7/26/10. Helpful? / 0
Since your puppy's really stinky, it would be just fine to go ahead and bathe him. In addition to giving him a bath, I also recommend brushing him on occasion to remove any dead hair. You don't have to brush him often, just occasionally.
Good luck, and I hope bath time goes smoothly for you.

If you want to have a masterclass in how skin contact affects white wines, there's probably no better place than Franco and Anna Sosol's tasting room. Il Carpino is their 17ha estate, situated on the same winding hill road as Radikon and Gravner, in Friuli Collio.

Čotar – Malvasia 2004
Branko Čotar has a very straightforward answer for me when I ask when he started using extended skin macerations for his white wines: "I've macerated my wines for 40 years – it's the tradition here (in the Slovenian Kras region)".
Orange weekly: Gravner – Breg 2004
Josko Gravner and Stanko Radikon, both hailing from Oslavje in north-eastern Friuli, pretty much kickstarted the revival of extended skin contact white wine making, in western Europe (In Georgia it has an unbroken history of 8000 years). For me, this makes uncorking a wine from either producer a special event.
Gravner's wines are as uncompromising as they are brilliant, produced solely in Georgian qvevris (amphorae) since 2001. This bright amber coloured Breg 2004, a white blend of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling Italico and Pinot Grigio still feels youthful and rather closed.

Does this sound like your topic?
Gay couples can now legally marry in six states and the District of Columbia, and can also enter into a civil union in five others. However, since same-sex marriage is not legally recognized by the federal government, these couples are not entitled to any of the 1,000-plus benefits the federal government provides to legally married couples. All the same, there are benefits to a state-recognized legal marriage or civil union, and gay couples living in any of the states that perform or recognize same-sex marriages or civil unions need to carefully consider their options when deciding whether or not to marry. As quickly as laws are changing, it's also never too early for couples in other states to consider what they might do if and when same-sex marriage becomes a reality in their state. Some of the biggest factors to consider when deciding whether or not to legally formalize a union include decisions on raising children, owning property, and providing health benefits.
Same-sex couples who want to be parents or who have children from a previous relationship need to consider the benefits and protection a legal union can provide their children. Both partners in a marriage have rights and responsibilities toward the children of that relationship. For children born or adopted after marriage, both parents should be considered the legal parents of that child, just as with a heterosexual married couple; however many attorneys continue to recommend that non-biological parents complete stepparent or second-parent adoptions. Adoption provides extra protection if the family travels or moves to a state that doesn't recognize same-sex marriage, and ensures that the federal government will recognize a legal parent-child relationship. Another benefit to marriage, if children are involved, is that in the unfortunate case of divorce both parents are entitled to seek visitation or custody. Legal parent status makes a case for parenting time or custody easier; it may not matter how involved you've been in raising a child if you have no legal relationship. And if one parent dies, in a marriage the other parent generally will assume responsibility as the primary legal parent. Without the protection of marriage and second-parent adoption, this relationship cannot be assumed.
You don't have to be legally married to own property with your partner, but if you are married when you purchase property, generally it will be jointly owned no matter who wrote the check. If you wish to own property together, getting married before purchasing a home or other property is probably the most efficient way of doing it; otherwise you'll need legal assistance to establish who owns what and what percentage each partner is responsible for or entitled to. If you want to get married but prefer to own property separately, a prenuptial agreement can help avoid the joint ownership presumptions of marriage.
No one wants to think about the end of a relationship at the beginning, but the reality is couples split up. There are benefits and drawbacks of a legal union in this case. Unmarried couples can generally split without any formal court action. However, if children and/or property are involved, unmarried partners have no protection under the law, while in most states, married spouses are entitled to roughly half of any property acquired or earned during the marriage. By the same token, spouses are also jointly responsible for debts acquired during the marriage.
Legally married same-sex couples can usually file joint state tax returns, although they cannot yet file joint federal returns. Whether this is a benefit or not depends on the state tax system and the joint income of the couple in question. Usually couples with lower incomes can end up paying less in taxes by filing joint returns. In a marriage, the surviving spouse generally inherits all property and assets if the other partner dies without a will. State laws differ as to what spouses are entitled to when there are surviving children. Without a legally recognized union, you'll need a will to ensure your partner will inherit, and if you die without formalizing your wishes your partner would have no legal say in arrangements or disposition of your estate. The caveat, of course, is that the same principle applies to debts, and in general, a will is a good idea regardless of marriage status.
People who work for companies offering domestic partner benefits have to pay income tax on the value of their partner's benefits. In states recognizing same-sex marriage, you may not have to pay that income tax, at least at the state level, if you are in a legally recognized union. The partners of people who work for their state in some capacity can generally share state employee benefits with their same-sex spouse without any caveats -- meaning your partner would be eligible for health insurance, survivor pension benefits, and any other benefits extended to opposite-sex spouses at the state level. Spouses may also have be entitled to worker's compensation benefits or be eligible to bring wrongful death suits if their partner dies from a work-related injury or illness. Depending on the benefits offered to legally married couples at your and your partner's place of employment, you may also be entitled to extend health, dental and vision insurance to your partner; use of family sick or bereavement leave; accident and life insurance for both spouses; parental leave for a child you are co-parenting whether by birth or adoption; and death benefits.
It's always a good idea to check with an attorney when you're considering entering into a marriage or civil union. The laws of each state differ, and a family lawyer can help you determine whether you need a prenuptial agreement to cover assets and debts brought into the marriage, what benefits marriage offers you from a legal and financial standpoint, and help draw up wills and adoption papers.

Thanks for the comments guys.
Tech-Daddy, that looks real pimp. I gotta get me smarter with that modding stuff, haha.
Muddy, are you sure you weren't putting it in upside down? There is no fan on top of the PSU..
For those interested, there will be a review of the Ultra X-Finity PSU as well coming in a few weeks. Unlike the X-Connect though, it uses standard molex connections.

TriMet's latest effort to improve security along the MAX light-rail system places a very low, inadequate hurdle in front of potential criminals and fare evaders.
The transit agency deserves credit for trying, but the increased security plans it announced last week are not aggressive enough. A more robust and geographically diverse approach is required to make light rail safer - both for passengers and for neighborhoods surrounding MAX stations.
For now, the transit agency is investing $600,000 as part of an experiment to enclose just two MAX stations on its system - the Gresham Central Station and the Northeast 82nd Avenue platform. It's hard to argue with those choices, especially considering the loitering, vandalism, drug dealing and even stabbings that have occurred in the vicinity of Gresham Central Station.
TriMet's idea is to reduce that type of behavior by making the troublesome Gresham station the first to be physically enclosed and by further emphasizing the 'fare zone' at the 82nd Avenue platform. Anyone inside those boundaries would be required to have a ticket to ride.
However, according to TriMet's safety plan, the Gresham station's fence would be a mere 42 inches tall - a height that could be scaled in a single bound.
Another obvious concern is whether TriMet will have fare inspectors on hand to check tickets at all hours of the day. The agency says it will do random checks - but regular MAX riders know that hasn't been an effective tactic in the past.
And even if TriMet is successful in reducing loitering and criminal activity at these two light-rail stations, it may only be shifting those problems up or down the MAX line.
While TriMet's safety plan for the two stations has drawbacks, the agency is making other worthwhile improvements. The project includes better lighting and signage for the two platforms. And we are encouraged that TriMet isn't saying this is a complete solution - it is billing the changes as a first-step experiment to see if other stations in the MAX system would benefit from greater security measures.
We're all in favor of experimentation, as long as the exercise isn't designed to fail. If problems persist after the changes are implemented, then TriMet must be willing to expand its efforts - and not simply say this experiment with safety was a failure.

Okay, my father had cancer in his small intestines. His older sister-the same. She was in a car wreck, and it was found when it was extremely small, but died from it 50 years later. I'm mad that the cancer history people won't identify it as intestine cancer. He had many surgeries that removed small intestines-not his colon-not his stomach, but they list it as indeterminate because they are so stupid. What's hard to grasp about intestinal melanoma? While my brother and I managed to escape that, we both have BCC on the head and shoulder. Researchers can work their rears off, but it's not so effective when idiots do the initial paperwork..

When we consider family history, we are attributing etiological element to the one as hereditary. Can't we think things go masked in the way. As irritation of cell or tissue which is becoming the reason for carcinomatous change and the chemical or radiation is considered as main things. As the families run or carry some special habits. Even if they consider and say same foods ,edible things and food ingredients they are habituated with, the preparation of food, preservation and finally ingredients the quantity and the way they add the ingredients while preparation carry from family to family which is very much regular with families..

Myra here. I know what you must be thinking....where have you been??
Well I have been VERY busy. I went to the vet and now I am all up to
date on my medical and ready for what my foster Mom calls my forever
home :) I like the way that sounds... I like things that are
MINE...ALL MINE FOREVER!!!!! I am really having a lot of fun here. I
like these fur boys...they let me do pretty much anything I want
(typical guys). These skin kids are fun too, they laugh a lot when
they play with me and my toys. I have to be honest and tell you that I
am not very fond of my pictures. I don't think they capture my true
beauty. I try and tell my foster Mom this, but she still follows me
EVERYWHERE with that thing! She says we are going to Petsmart this
Saturday and I hope to see you there in Hickory so you can see just
how stunning I really am! I will be the good looking one if you are
looking for me :)~~See you there Myra!
Myra's foster mom does not have full access to a computer at all times, so updates for Myra take a little longer. If you have any questions about Myra's temperment you can contact Blue Ridge Boxer Rescue. Thanks!!
Hello Myra here. I am getting settled into my new foster home and I
like it here! I love to run and bounce on these fur boys. The skin
kids are pretty cute too. The little one thinks he's a duck (he keeps
putting on this duck thing and quacking through the house) my foster
Mom said not to worry this is only a short term problem that will go
away after Friday...I hope so :) My foster Mom said I am a little ball
of energy and I can't seem to play enough...I don't know how anyone
could get tired of playing. She said I am going to the vet soon and
get updated on all my shots and then I will be ready to go to my
forever home. I like it here, but she said I would be a great family
memeber anyone would be thankful to have for Thanksgiving!! Well I am
going to take a little nap now so I can play when the skin kids get up
from nap! See you soon my forever family....big puppy kisses Myra.

The first Growing Health event was held in 2006 and since then has been held every two years. While the question "What do farms, food and health have in common?" was somewhat novel at that time, a community of practice has been evolving to consider how these relationships can be strengthened to help realize a triple bottom line of economic (viable farms and rural economies, living wages for farm & food system workers), environmental (sustainable & regenerative agricultural and food system practices), and social (health, community, etc.) benefits.
The interdisciplinary nature of this work is exciting, interesting and challenging. Food security and food justice advocates have much to contribute in ensuring that "good food" is accessible to all, and that farm and food workers earn living wages. The prevention side of public health practice has moved from focusing exclusively on nutrition education to facilitating systems, policy and environmental changes that support a healthy, accessible food system, the cornerstone of good nutrition. Farm to School and Farm to Institution initiatives are sourcing more food locally to improve the freshness and quality of food served to children, seniors, students and those recovering in hospitals. Health care and health insurance providers have joined with public health practitioners to support this work as an important component of obesity and chronic disease prevention. Farmers and those involved with rural and agricultural economic
development are engaged in strategic production changes and expanding value added food processing and production to meet increased demand for healthy, more locally produced food products. "Value chains," aggregation and distribution systems, are emerging that make it easier for all customer types to access healthy, more locally- produced foods. Across New York State and the United States, this movement is resulting in increasing numbers of food policy, planning and practice councils and collaborations. And finally, organizations like Vermont FEED and Seeds of Solidarity are teaching real food education to the next generation.

Big Dogs Spring Fling- 6/7-9/13, Winchester, VA
Who is going to the Big Dogs Spring Fling- 6/7-9/13, Winchester (Gore), VA?
Spring Fling
Less than 3 weeks to go!
Any more info on what this is Im not to fare from Winchester
Click on the Spring Fling link in my OP.
6/7-9/13? A 3 month trail ride might be a bit long, lol
do people typically camp or stay in the hotel listed on the site? also..should bringing a 12 and 5 year old be avoided?
This is my second Big Dogs. My kids joined us but they are almost 23. My family had a blast and can't wait to go back. There will be plenty of young kids at this event. In fact, I was a bit envious of some the rigs they were passengering. I'd say 5 years old is pushing it if you intend to get some extended wheeling time in. Your 12 y/o should love it though. They do have a swimming lake, too.
Camp vs. hotel. I prefer camping because part of the draw is hanging out with other wheelers. I went to the BD Ice Breaker not knowing anyone. The Maryland Elements Offroad group was camping next to me so we hung out with them and it made it very enjoyable. We wouldn't have had that experience if we stayed at a hotel. I do stay at a hotel when I go to Rausch Creek, though. The only thing about Big Dogs camping is that it's not exactly quiet at night, even with quiet hours, and it's pretty dusty with all the vehicle traffic. I'm hoping the temps aren't too warm at night time for this coming event. Stay away from the party camp, Camp 6. We stayed in Camp 2 and it was fine. One recommendation if you do decide to camp; get a site towards to end the camp so that you get less traffic and dust.
Post up if you are going to the Big Dogs Ice Breaker this coming weekend. I'm headed out early Thursday morning and will probably set up at Camp 2.
So I'm thinking maybe, since my kids will be gone this weekend. Do I need to put my doors and top back on? lol
While other folks may be disagree, I say, "Yes! Put your doors and top on." It gets very dusty when wheeling with 300 of your best friends. Also, if we had the warm weather that we've been having having your A/C is kinda nice.
Mud is not too much of a problem at The Cove though.
Argh!!!! I spent two hours dismantling the jeep today. I'm sure it won't be as hard to put back together, but I did want a naked jeep for a couple of weeks.
