I'll answer in the Cyberpub so that we keep the thread on topic.
Although with some of the negativity in the forums these past few weeks, I think talking about Chocolate is refreshing.

Nah.. I'm not convinced that its only because its a tgentry shirt. It is a little obscure, and a bit of a stretch for the leap year theme, but a nice concept none the less. Maybe if it was along the lines of Josephus' design, with something wedged between the stones migh be more readable.. but not my shirt..
not my vote either tho...

This T-shirt is boring. It's clever how it relates to the theme but it's bland. What are you going to say when someone ask you why you bought the T-shirt? Do you really want to buy this for 10 bucks just to say "Look how clever this T-shirt design is!". Sorry, lame.

Name of Product from Sallys Please
I can get to Sallys Beauty Salon. What type of product should I buy. I'm trying things out for the first time. I think I have Type 2 hair. I'm waiting for the books 2001 edition called Curly Girl. Any help gratefully accepted. I already own lots of shampoo so I'd really like to get the right one. Thanks.
Thanks for your inquiry, but I'm really only familiar with the products in CurlMart, and I'm afraid I can't really provide a good recommendation. I suggest posting over at the type 2 forum (here) to get more personalized feedback, and browsing the product review database (here) to narrow down the list.
If memory serves, there should be a thread regarding what to buy from Sally Beauty in the type 2 forum, so you might wish to look around for that.
Best of luck in your hunt for the perfect products!

King Cove sues to open road through refuge
The community of King Cove is suing Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell over access to the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge.
The City of King Cove, along with residents and two Alaska tribes and local governments, filed the lawsuit Wednesday morning.
It not only names Jewell, but also includes representatives from the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge manager.
King Cove wants a 10-mile, one-lane gravel road through the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge to an all-weather airport in Cold Bay. Residents said it's their only way to have safe, reliable access to health care. Right now, in an emergency many people have to be medically evacuated by the U.S. Coast Guard.
Jewell visited the village last August. She asked residents to come up with a list of alternative solutions — like a hovercraft or the Coast Guard — because she won't grant access to the federal lands.
Residents maintain the road is their only way.
"I'm at the point now I'm insulted for everything she's asking for because we've already given her everything," said Etta Kuzakin. "I'm at the point of just being tired. Look at us seriously, take us seriously and stop ignoring us because we're not going anywhere."
Kuzakin had to be medevaced out when she was pregnant, and would have lost her daughter had she not gotten to a hospital in Anchorage.
She said her community will continue the fight no matter how long it takes.
"I think she's [Jewell's] hoping we'll just turn over and just be done. The lawsuit is a way to say, 'No, we won't be turning over. No, we won't be we going away, ever.' It's something we need and we will get," Kuzakin said.
Jewell and the other defendants have 60 days to respond to the lawsuit. A spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Interior said the agency is not allowed to comment on ongoing litigation.

Matt Stainless Steel Handle
Laguiole is a small town in southern France, best known for the folding pocket knives made there by local craftsmen, from the 18th century to the early 20th century. From the beginning, the knives have always featured wood and horn handles, and were treasured possessions of French farmers, soldiers and shepherds, often passed from generation to generation. From 1880, corkscrews were introduced into some of the knives, creating the original "waiter's friend".
Now manufactured in the nearby town of Thiers, Château Laguiole corkscrews are forged, stamped, flattened, hardened, honed and burnished to exacting standards. Finally, the decorative bee, Napoleon Bonaparte's symbol for industry, efficiency and productivity, is welded on.
Their beauty, function and unsurpassed quality have established Château Laguiole as the definitive brand of professional style wine openers available today. Indeed, many of the best sommeliers in the world use Château Laguiole corkscrews. This is surely a wedding gift that will be treasured for generations.

The Green Bay Packers signed second-round pick Eddie Lacy on Wednesday, meaning 10 of their 11 draft picks are under contract by May 29. Under the old system, it wouldn't be unusual for the Packers to have not signed any of their draft picks until the week before training camp. Instead, only first-round pick Datone Jones remains unsigned.
ESPN was the first to report the news. Terms were not available but the four-year deal is likely worth about $3,464,330 with a signing bonus of $904,000, based on the contracts of players signed around him.
Lacy, a powerful and productive running back from Alabama, was selected with the 61st overall selection. He's been third on the depth chart at this early stage of the offseason, behind veterans Alex Green and James Starks.
Lacy is no stranger to competing for playing time, with Alabama churning out three consecutive upper-echelon running backs. Mark Ingram went 28th overall to New Orleans in 2011 and Trent Richardson went third overall to Cleveland in 2012.
After rushing for 674 yards behind Richardson in 2011, Lacy rumbled for 1,322 yards and 17 touchdowns in 2012 before leaving school a year early. He took 31 of his 204 carries for at least a dozen yards. His career average of 6.77 yards per carry led all active players. He closed his career with 181 yards against Georgia in the SEC title game and 140 yards against Notre Dame in the BCS championship.
Projected as a possible first-round pick, Lacy fell to late in the second because of injury concerns, specifically fusion surgery of the big toe on his right foot. As Lacy and those around the Alabama program were quick to point out, he had his monster 2012 after the toe surgery.

This practical guide provides a complete introduction to developing network programs with Java. You'll learn how to use Java's network class library to quickly and easily accomplish common networking tasks such as writing multithreaded servers, encrypting communications, broadcasting to the local network, and posting data to server-side programs.
Author Elliotte Rusty Harold provides complete working programs to illustrate the methods and classes he describes. This thoroughly revised fourth edition covers REST, SPDY, asynchronous I/O, and many other recent technologies.
Elliotte Rusty Harold is originally from New Orleans to which he returns periodically in search of a decent bowl of gumbo. However, he currently resides in the Prospect Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn with his wife Beth and dog Thor. He's a frequent speaker at industry conferences including Software Development, Dr. Dobb's Architecture & Design World, SD Best Practices, Extreme Markup Languages, and too many user groups to count. His open source projects include the XOM Library for processing XML with Java and the Amateur media player.
View Elliotte Rusty Harold's full profile page.
The animal on the cover of Java Network Programming, 4th Edition, is a North American river otter (Lutra canadensis). These small carnivores are found in all major waterways of the United States and Canada, and in almost every habitat except the tundra and the hot, dry regions of the southwestern United States. They weigh about 20 pounds and are approximately two and a half feet long, and females tend to be about a third smaller than males. Their diet consists mainly of aquatic animals like fish and frogs, but since they spend about two-thirds of their time on land, they also eat the occasional bird or rodent.
Two layers of fur—a coarse outer coat and a thick, dense inner coat—protect a river otter from the cold, and, in fact, they seem to enjoy playing in snow and ice. When diving, a river otter's pulse rate slows to only 20 beats per minute from its normal 170, conserving oxygen and allowing the otter to stay underwater longer. These animals are sociable and domesticated easily, and in Europe, a related species was once trained to catch fish for people to eat.

a must read for Java Network development
By Devwebcl
from Chile
About Me Developer
Wisely divided in 13 main parts, reviewing transversely all the networking API (and more).Starting from basic networking concepts, including information about NIO, Asynchronous Channels, Socket Options (Java 7), until IP Multicasting. Author mentions that Java Networking API is stable since version 1.0 and we shouldn't have any issue after Java 8 is released, anyway as we know, always these future assumptions must be taken carefully about any migration.Being the 4th edition, it is certainly a proved book, with mature information about the networking scope.Very detailed information on its coding examples, regarding the interfaces, constructors, direct/undirected classes, event handlers, exception handling, and their respective methods.At the end, explain how this complex API can be used in the expected/correct fashion.Similar to the new (2nd) edition of Java Web Services book, there is an emphasis on the current de-facto REST standard.Kind of bible, reference and cookbook of networking Java, responding all the most common doubts (and some very peculiar).for the beginner and advanced developer, well redacted.Although there are a lot of snippet code in the book, the complete examples can be downloaded from author's website.

thats a good pic of it.
thats a good pic of it.
A very good pic. I'm sold on the gap being 1". Stuff like this is exactly what we want. There's visual reference.
I also signed , i hav some very interesting sketches/ideas to share
Welcome to both of you. Please post up intrduction threads once your accounts have been activated.
Ok, our very first enrollment period is coming to a close as of midnight tonight CST. To all those who joined us, thank you. You are the guys who will set the bar for the future. To those who want to join, keep an eye out. Next enrollment will be in Feburary. To everyone who's watching to see what we can do...hold on to your hats. I think these guys are really going to knock our socks off!
OK maybe I'm misunderstanding, but what I'm getting out of this, is any suit we make will in appearance look like Mandos from Open Season through ROTJ. My only issue with this is, everyone's going to look like Boba or Jango except with maybe a differing color pattern. I mean if you're only allowing what appeared in the movies, there's very limited options on what exactly one can do. Again I mean no offense and don't want to kick an anthill, but I'm not understanding how you can be custom and screen accurate, when only Boba and Jango were ever seen on screen. And maybe I'm a bit of a KT fan, but I loved the way she wrote the mandos, and from her description, no two mandos had the exact same armor layout. I sold off my custom mando simply because I got tired of being called Boba Fett, so I figured if they're gonna call me that anyway then I may as well wear my Boba. To me doing something "custom" means you're doing something that's clearly part of the whole mandalorian, but you're doing it different in more ways than a different paint job. You can hardly buy a stock '69 Charger, put a coat of orange paint on it and call it a custom car. If I'm understanding wrong, please let me know, just trying to get my thoughts across. If this sounds offensive, I don't intend it that way, sometimes things sound one way to me and another way to the reader.
Well......using your 69 Charger analogy. If you were going to have a club that was all about 69 Chargers, you wouldn't want the guy in the 77 Nova coming in and saying well, you see the 77 Nova has wheels and windows and an engine so you have to accept me too because I really love 69 Chargers but I can only afford a 77 Nova. Now don't judge me or tell me I am not a 69 Charger fan, I am just a "different" fan.
On the KT front if you read what she describes she does not go off the deep end, yes they don't have the same layout, but they all had some common items and features. And that is way more than just a T visor. If you compare Skirata and Walon Vau there are some differences between them but the biggest difference is going to be the color of the plates. When I see Skirata I don't just think Jango repaint. I see him as a unique character. In the IC novel when they go into town (to spread the germs, and Gilamar kills Dredd Priest) they swap out plates and colors to look different, they don't change the basics of thier kit.
When we say screen accurate what we are talking about is screen QUALITY. I have seen some customs that look more like other movies or genre than they do Star Wars.
And no offense taken, feel free to give a rebuttal if my explanation doesn't answer your questions.
OK The quality bit now makes sense to me. My concern with the layout was, making everyone have the same gaunts (not even Boba and Jango had the same style),same girth belt (again same case), same etc... or enforcing members to have all pieces of gear seen in movies, as again (and this is with books mind you) not all mandos wore jetpacks all the time, took the same if any trophies (ie: Boba's wookiee braids) I guess what I'm looking for is the same basic mando feel, but some difference in exact layout, while looking like it belongs IN the movie. Again using the charger analogy, you wouldn't want to join a club where they said everyone has to have same model of tires, same engine brand, etc...
The requirments don't call for the exact same guants. In fact if you look at available pictures from movies and comics there are all kinds of gaunts shown. Same with girths. Jaster has a girth belt that looks like a weight lifters belt with big buckle in the front, completely different from Boba and Jango.
Your last sentence is exactly what we are looking for. The only problem with not nailing down reference points it it gets back to the guy in the 77 Nova who says that the 77 Nova "feels" like it belongs. In order to insure that it looks like it belongs in the movie you have to put in certain restrictions. I actually think you are about in the same school of thought as the HHS is. It just seems restrictive when you first read it because it is a change from what you may have seen. We have all seen the kits where people "feel" that the LOTR, HALO, Colonial Marine, US Army Mando is what "feels" right to them. While all of those other movies/games/groups may be great, they are not Star Wars and they are not Mando.
Mullreel has more or less covered it, but I want to add one thing. We aren't saying screen "accurate", we're saying screen "ready". We want kits that look like they could have been in the movies...even though they weren't. It's all about quality. Where I think you're misunderstanding is when we say "visual reference". That's to set our baseline, the foundations for our kits if you will. All mandalorian armor has certain elements in common. We want to make sure those elements are there first, before going further. We're not just repaints. I think as our members get their kits finished and you see what we're going for, everyone will have a lot better idea of our goals.
i got a small question you guys say you gonna do modern era armor does that include the legacy era armor or not?
No, Legecy Era armor is totally different from Modern Era. At current we don't have any LE kits to base CRL's on, but we are not opposed to adding them in future once we have something to look at. One of our members is working on a LE kit and we're going to see how it works out before we decide anything.
that member would be me.
there is a lot riding on my performance, rest assured that I am working my butt off, putting every one of my skills to it's best use.
I am a patient builder, cut few corners and always seek input, both at the MMCC and HHS.
You can follow my Legacy Build at MMCC, there is no posted WIP on HHS since it falls out of current club scope there.
First kit - Legacy body
feel free to contribute over there, the least i will do is listen to your piece of mind.
the MMCC has it's place and so does HHS, there should be no conflict and little overlap.
One Troops, handling everyone from green recruits to top quality kits of all eras,
the other is only interested in top quality kits of the modern era.
membership is not exclusive, nobody is forced (or even asked) to abandon other costuming clubs.
signups are limited, simply to maintain a high standard of quality.
something that is impossible to do with open signups flooding the boards with more members than the exemplary members can handle at their current size.
as the club grows and more exemplary members join the ranks, they may choose to change the way registration works. don't get so hung up on registration.
ya i know all about the clubs and ive seen your threatd ive been following it for a while your doing good progress i my self am trying to get all the materials that il need to do a legacy build and a modern era build but its kinda hard because of the country in which i live
I think this group is fantastic, and definitely eliminates a lot of the...problems, with custom Mando work.
I'm in full agreement with the strict policy, as it will ensure accurate, high quality Mando outfits. The one thing I will say to a lot of the people here that are complaining about it being "too strict" is look at the costume and weapon design of the original trilogy...late 70's, early 80's. What was used for most of the characters equipment, clothing, and weapons? WWII/Vietnam era weapons heavily modified using PERIOD audio/automotive/industrial parts. Unfortunately, we're not in the 80's anymore with Star Wars, and Lucas and Co. now employs late 20 year old artists who use what THEY'VE grown up with (The Matrix, 90's anime, etc) as a point of reference for their character designs. That's why when we read all those 90's Star Wars comics, we see characters with spikes on their costume, or pony tails, or generally out of place articles of clothing and weaponry. Look at the Force Unleashed II...remember those giant Spider Robots you fought in the game, or those sleek and sharp sith stalkers you had to fight? Would you EVER see anything of that design in the 80's? **** no, that garbage looked like it was taken from The Matrix, or some current sci-fi summer blockbuster.
I've seen a few good custom mandos, don't get me wrong. From the paint and weathering, to the custom gauntlets, there have been many that have stood out. But you can not honestly tell me that the custom Mando sub-community isn't plagued with some pretty asinine stuff that just comes off as silly and completely unfitting for the Star Wars universe....Tribal tatoo designs plastered on armor...hot-rod flames? Collared spikes glued to armor? Obvious Toys R' Us nerf guns that look like they took a liberal dose of "Gunmetal" spraypaint? Random woodland camo M-16 magazine pouches thrown on some current Army issue MOLLE gear? Paint jobs that look like they've been concocted by whatever water-color craft paint was lying around their kid's bedroom? I understand that hobby groups want to beef up numbers, I get that; everyone wants to build a large community. But there's a reason why people aren't flocking to the 13+ group of "Toy Robots" (as I've heard a few spectators call) and are instead dying to get their picture taken next to the well-made Boba's and especially well done custom mandos/clone troopers.
Overall, I'm thrilled to have such a group that's determined to have such severe quality control because even though the numbers might not be up there, you can look to these guys to find all of the antsy spectators that are dying for a picture...not the green/purple/red Mando's that are carrying plastic swords and toy M-16's.
You've been wanting to get that out for a while
that was cathartic just reading it.
Okay. I've been reading this thread for a bit, and I don't think this question has been answered as concisely as possible, and I think this may be part of the cause for confusion here.
So correct me if I'm wrong, and that's a very real possibility, but your membership includes non-canon, or original, characters designed and created by the costumer, as long as they adhere to the quality standards, right? I think that the use of the word "Custom" is part of the misunderstanding, as it means different things to different folks.
Yes. I believe you have it.
The custom part is that they are non-canon characters, but they should look like they could have been just off screen in one of the Star Wars movies.
Nau'ur Baatir - You've got it exactly. As Mullreel, who is also a staff member on HHS, said you can do a non-canon character just make sure the kit looks in universe. In fact our membership is MOSTLY non-canon. We will also approve canon characters so long as they meet existing CRL's for the character and our quality standards.
Ponte - Thanks for the kind words, and even though you missed this past enrollment period, we hope to see you on the next one.
Fett 4 Real - Wondered where you'd gone! You need to get your intro thread up back on HHS so your account stays active. We'd hate to lose you!
Yeh I dont for see me being able to get anything going at the moment with finances the way they are
Give an intro and then give some criticism. I usually like the old F4R critique. I love how you soft sell what you think and people have to read between the lines.

Pampered Chef has two frugal tools!
I really like the Pampered Chef line of cooking tools, but have to find a way to justify their expense. Two, however, pay for themselves!
1. Kitchen Spritzer-- you put oil in it and pump the little pump on top. It sprays oil out--you own homemade Pam for a few cents! I figure it pays for itself in about six months.
2. Suds Pump--a soap version of the Kitchen Spritzer. You put a bit of liquid soap in the bottom of the bottle and fill it up with water. Then you pump out foamy soap. A fille dbottle in my kitchen lasts about a week and only uses a couple teaspoons of soap! I use the dishsoap in it for handsoap too. Pays for itself very,very quickly.
You can also buy these on eBay!

Solutions Overview
This script is Copyright (C) 2006-2016 Tenable Network Security, Inc.
Synopsis :
The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates.
Description :
Updated PHP packages that fix multiple security issues are now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1.
This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the
Red Hat Security Response Team.
PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language commonly used with the
Apache HTTP Web server.
The phpinfo() PHP function did not properly sanitize long strings. An
attacker could use this to perform cross-site scripting attacks
against sites that have publicly-available PHP scripts that call
phpinfo(). (CVE-2006-0996)
The error handling output was found to not properly escape HTML output
in certain cases. An attacker could use this flaw to perform
cross-site scripting attacks against sites where both display_errors
and html_errors are enabled. (CVE-2006-0208)
A buffer overflow flaw was discovered in uw-imap, the University of
Washington's IMAP Server. php-imap is compiled against the static
c-client libraries from imap and therefore needed to be recompiled
against the fixed version. (CVE-2005-2933)
The wordwrap() PHP function did not properly check for integer
overflow in the handling of the 'break' parameter. An attacker who
could control the string passed to the 'break' parameter could cause a
heap overflow. (CVE-2006-1990)
Users of PHP should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
backported patches that resolve these issues.

Today regarded as one of the most important and experimental photographers of the 19th century, the portraitist Julia Margaret Cameron's approach to her craft was much criticised during her lifetime. Her images – often intense close-ups – broke the established rules of a medium that was only just emerging into a fully fledged art form.
"She didn't mind if her shots were a bit out of focus," says Marta Weiss, curator of the new Photographs Gallery at London's V&A. "Rather, she was adept at using long exposures, soft focus and atmospheric lighting conditions to create powerful portraits."
The result is a hypnotic, almost dream-like quality to many of her pieces, though the frankness of her gaze pierces through the theatricality.
Even her more conventional profile portraits bear her trademark close-crop. Rather than looking straight at the camera, as was convention, for instance, Alfred, Lord Tennyson gazes outwards, the sharpened features around his eyes imparting a sense of gravitas.
A selection of Cameron's work is showing as part of a new permanent Photographs Gallery at the V&A, London SW7 ( vam.ac.uk), from 25 October

And gun owners are the violent ones...HA
University of Rhode Island professor's retweet: Murder anyone who thinks teachers should be armed; Update: Police met with prof | Twitchy
These people scare me. :ahhhhh:
Have at it, bro. I'll be the guy with the gun.
many Americans need to be educated about guns.
they need to know that only 4% of murders are committed with rifles & shotguns.
Jesus. There's a case study in mental health right there...
They want to kill people with guns because they say guns kill people...and they think we're nuts???
Considering the thousands and thousands of DUI deaths yearly, where is all the uproar about alcohol and car control. (Those laws are already on the books but the deaths continue) So much for legislation.
I'd like to add that there has been much talk online and in the media basically equating anyone who has guns or supports gun ownership as violent or embracing violence. For me personally, I detest violence, which is why I purchased firearms...to protect myself and my family from violence. I am 100% less violent than these people who are calling for violence against gun owners and supporters. It's like bizarro world. They are calling for violence against people they are calling violent, because they think they are violent, when they are truly the ones who are not violent. Think about it. Out of this chaos and craziness, expect more chaos and crazy stuff to happen...legislatively and otherwise. Given this call to violence, I have personally been keeping my position on firearms close to my vest.
Unbelievable. I have no doubt the conversation with RISP wasn't very pleasant for Mr. Loomis.
I'm not sure what I'm more tired of people blaming the gun or blaming an organization, but this person actions just outright takes the cake.
This guy must be off his meds.
IMO..............ther's nothing more dangerous than a left wing libral.
well, that professor has shown me that there ARE people who shouldn't have firearms.

Ok so on the sanding side of things on an old station wagon, how many sticky sand paper disks should I buy? and how often should I change them?
Nova freak is right, a DA does take an awful lot of air, check the cfm (Cubic Feet per Minute) that your compressor puts out. This is also important when it comes to painting. A paint gun will use as much or more air than your sander.
As far as how many sticky papers you need, I don't know, how much bondo is on your car, how many times has it been painted, is the original paint still on it and is it lacquer. As Nova freak said another option is using air craft stripper, messy, stinky and can burn your skin if you don't use gloves, but it'll strip the paint off your car fairly fast. It'll cost anywhere between $35 and $50 a gallon for quality stripper, but, when quality sticky papers cost 70 cents to a $1.00 a piece or more, you need to way out your options. If the car has a lot of old paint on it, stripper can get expensive, because, it often only takes one layer off at a time. Try a couple of sticky papers first, try a couple of small areas first. If you have only one layer of paint, it may be cheaper to use stripper, multiple layers sand paper may be your best option. Every car is different, substrates are different. I've had cars in front of me and had to analyse the situation carefully as which method would be most cost effective.
Knotted wire wheels, sure give it a shot. If the filler in your car is old style filler, be prepared for a very hard filler. The old stuff (like White Lightning) sanded like concrete. You may need to get more aggressive than a wire wheel depending on what's in there. Many times working on an older car is like asking somebody "how long is the string in your pocket" nobody can really tell until he shows your the string. Cars, you just don't know until you get into it. Lots of variables, but, that's kinda what makes it fun and that's another reason why you take pictures, not just to show the finished product, but to show all the effort it took to get there.

Welcome to Michigan, congrats on the new marriage, and remember Ann arbor is home of the annual "Hash Bash" for a reason: a bunch of tree hugging hippy liberals running around not usually the gun friendly type.
By the way don't ever forget your aniversary with a date like that she will NEVER let you live it down (I speak from experience my aniversary is Christmas eve and my better half reminds me repeatedly of the year I was too busy getting toys gathered and assembled to remember our special day)
Sounds like you did just fine to me. It sounded like she asked those questions out of curiousity and in a respectful way,and you responded in kind. You taught her a few things about guns,gun safety and CCW. Maybe you even gave her something to thing about. And best of all you gave her a positive impression of gun owners!
Thanks for the way You let Her see us gun owners are.
My GOD man, MICHIGAN??? It's 75 degrees here today!
Treat me good, I'll treat you better. Treat me bad, I'll treat you worse.
Needs to be a resident for 6 months.
MSP - Concealed Pistol Permit-Requirements to Obtain One
Here is the site for the info.
Also, MI is a state that requires you to be a resident of the state issuing your permit.
Think about that.
I grew up in Michigan, and for the last 20 years have considered it a good state to be from.
Looking forward to welcoming you to CO.
Try to stay out of Denver proper. If you can stand the commute, there's plenty of room out here in Elbert County.
Its so much easier now days, to "Love and honor" my wife, when she is armed, and shoots a better group than I do. (Till death do us part, eh?)
The way you get shot by a concealed weapons permit holder is, you point a gun at him, the Sheriff said.
PCON, Welcome to Michigan. I think I warned you about A-Squared (that bastion of liberalism quote sounds familiar ). But not to worry, much of the State is VASTLY different. Also very beautiful (when it's not frigid and white, unless you are into that sort of thing, in which case it's got that going for it too!).
Glad (and surprised!) to hear they'll issue temp. permits for those moving in from another State (reciprocity or not, Michigan honors ALL other State's permits, as long as the holder is a resident of that issueing State).
With the exception of our current recession (worst employment rate in 50 States), which has been going on for about 3 years (the rest of the country is now where we were back then, and we've sunk even lower), the State does have a lot going for it. And really, so does Ann Arbor (lots of cultural events and concerts, U of M Hospital, one of the best in the Nation, and University of Michigan, a fine school, though they do cultivate that liberal mentality).
All in all, a lot of good here, and for your short stay, should be a very positive one. Enjoy your stay, and if you've got any money, spend it!
Regards, T Bone.

Yeah, A2 is a liberal elitest bastion of anti-freedom.
The picnic that the members of OCDO.org held there last fall went off without a hitch. Imagine that! People openly carrying guns in the liberal stronghold of A2, and the local officers look like their having a good time hanging out with the folks.

It was good of you to help re-educate the lady, and welcome to MI.
I grew up in northern MI and loved it...graduated from MSU and then lived in Ann Arbor for five years...there I not only learned about liberals, but also of the frustration of trying to reason with them.
Moved to MN, home of more liberals, but there's nothing quite like Ann Arbor. There are, however, some great restaurants, bars and food stores there. I fondly remember Merchant of Vino up on Plymouth Road.
Carry all the time, and stayed heavily armed when travelling into Ypsilanti.
Good luck.

Problem with puppy
Hello. I just got a puppy german shepard. He is my first dog so I do not have much experience. I was wondering how to stop him from biting the furniture all the time. He started doing it recently and I just can keep him away from it. Every time I don't look he goes to the sofa and chews on it. Or the shoes. Or table. Anything actually. Thank you very much in advance.
that's a puppy!
You just keep on top of him and keep giving him something appropriate to chew on. When you've had enough and can't take anymore, put him in his crate with a treat filled kong. lol
As posted, provide lots of chew toys, you can make your own. Some of Mya's favorites are chunks of wood, a crushed Milk jug and the plastic 'whackers' from an old 'Whack a Mole' game.
You have to be on a young pup about all the time when out loose in the house, chewing and potty are the main reasons. They need exercise, stimulation, and socialization, but when you have to get something done you should crate the dog.
Our pup is just about 16 weeks and her chewing has gone down a fair amount. She has a fair handle on what's O. K to chew & what's not. Her nipping has dropped off too.
So my advice is to continue to power through and keep the pup under close supervision when loose.

Abies alba
European or common silver fir (Silba 1986), abeto (Spanish).
Syn. A. pardei Gaussen (Silba 1986).
Tree up to 45–55 m. tall and 200–260 cm DBH, with a long clear bole surmounted by a pyramidal crown that becomes flat-topped with age. Bark smooth, gray, scaly, with resin blisters. Branches grooved, pale brown or dull gray with a blackish pubescence. Leaves: Shade foliage 2-ranked, spreading horizontally; foliage in sun more or less erect. Needle base twisted, apex notched or rounded; 15–30 × 1.5–2 mm; upper surface dark shiny green and grooved, usually lacking stomata; lower surface glaucous to whitish-green, keeled, with stomata in 5–8 ranks. Buds pale brown to reddish-brown, ovoid with an obtuse apex, sometimes resinous, diameter 8–11 mm, slightly pubescent. Pollen cones blue/violet/red, 1–3 cm long. Seed cones cylindrical, attenuate at the ends, 10–16 × 3–5 cm, green when young, turning red-brown; cone scales spathulate, finely pubescent with exserted, reflexed bracts extending about 2/3 the length of the scale. Seeds obovoid, reddish, winged, up to 2.5 cm long (Silba 1986).
France; Italy; Switzerland; Germany; Austria; Bulgaria; Ukraine: Karpaty Mts.; Byelorussia; at 300-1950 m. (Silba 1986, Vladimir Dinets e-mail 1998.01.02); Croatia. Hardy to Zone 4 (cold hardiness limit between -34.3°C and -28.9°C) (Bannister and Neuner 2001).
Here are some reported large trees:
A tree-ring chronology covering 411 years, presumably based on living tree material, was collected in 1952 in Bayerischer Wald, Germany (48.75°N, 13.00°E) by B. Becker (Data accessed at the NOAA Paleoclimatology Program Tree-Ring Data Search Page, 1999.02.24. URL: http://julius.ngdc.noaa.gov/paleo/ftp-treering.html).
Rolland (1993) did an exploratory study; the Bibliography of Dendrochronology provides some 290 additional citations (as of 2006), dating back to 1842, which is interesting (because dendrochronology was officially invented in about 1905)—unfortunately, there are none in English until 1956.
Foliar loppings of European silver fir in Czechoslovakia have yielded 1,380 tonnes/year of essential oils (Cermak and Penka 1979).
Räsänen (2015) describes the Dobroč National Nature Reserve in central Slovakia, saying "Slovakia is known for its numerous prime old-growth forest remnants. ... The preservation of Slovakian old-growth remnants results from their difficult accessibility, the late settlement of the mountainous landscape and the late industrialization of the country. The beginning of the industrial-scale use of the forest and the building of the road net coincided with the creation of the first reserves, i.e. in the late 1800s when there were still thousands of square kilometres of old-growth in Slovakia. ... Recently I made a trip to explore a few Slovakian old-growth reserves. One of them was Dobročský prales = Dobroč Primeval Forest or Dobroč National Nature Reserve in central Slovakia. The reserve is located on a north-facing slope at elevations 720–1000 m. Annual precipitation is 890–960 mm and average annual temperature 4.5–5°C. The reserve was established as early as 1912. The area was originally 50 ha (124 ac) and was later enlarged to 102 ha (252 ac). The original reserve is dominated by European beech [Fagus sylvatica] and European silver fir (Abies alba), and the newer part by Norway spruce [Picea abies]." The photos show a spectacular landscape.

Exactly, I reserve my judgment after I test drive a 3.6. However reading others can offer knowledge as well.
I have not read ATS's lighter steering until now. It is one data point. Like one data point who said he had to slam the manual in the ATS in 4th gear at 55mph during the 0-60 run. All data require verification. But if enough people complain, the issue is more verified.
As far as 335i beating a CTS-V, whoever you are is a perfect example of a 3 driver fantasizing being a performance car driver, while never have driven in performance contests. Fits BJ's description of a 335i driver quite well.
It is embarrassing to see new 3 series lagging behind a 10 year old 325, or a Civic. At least I have some excuse being a 328i with soft suspension. But when the new BMW turbo I6s (not just one) with aftermarket tunes lag behind, you begin to ask, what happened to the ultimate driving machine?

Americans apart, there is probably no other group than the Chinese netizens who are more keen on discussing the coming US Presidential Election. Though China will undergo its own power transition at the end of this year, too, there really isn't much to talk about – everybody knows who will be "elected." On the other hand, US Presidential Election offers everyone in China a talking point to push their own agenda. It's the perfect opportunity for the liberals to discuss democracy, voting, human rights and why the US should be seen as a role model for China. The pro-government, at the same time, won't miss any chance to show that the US is no better than China by emphasizing on all the bashing and personal attacks, the miserable lives of the 99%, as well as possible corruptions. But at the end of day, there has to be a winner.
Who will Chinese netizens vote for? That is the question asked by Hong Huang, CEO of China Interactive Media Group and famous second-generation-red (her mom was the English tutor for Mao). Yesterday, she asked a very simple question to her more than 5 million followers on Sina Weibo: "If you were an American, who would you vote for in November as your president? Obama or Romney? Just think hypothetically." The nearly 600 responses showed a good variety of what Chinese netizens think about the coming US election.
Obama, Obama, Obama!
The popularity of Obama in China is hardly news – at least, T-shirts, mugs and fried chickens with Obama's head on them sell well. To many Chinese, young people in particular, Obama is a living example of the American Dream that they can look up to. So no wonder, Obama is favored by many Chinese netizens, though their reasons for voting for Obama ranges from "He's handsome" to "I'm not the 1% and I like his policies."
去不了滴那么远: "I'd vote for Obama so that China policies can be consistent."
Anna王大腕儿: "I simply like Oreo [Obama]."
戴安-Diane: "I'd vote for Obama. Though he's too liberal, he has a good heart and cares for the poor."
sunny_piggy: "Obama for he is mild."
cru_vc: "Obama for sure. He is from grass root background."
别人手牵手我牵我的狗_夏: "I support Obama. I like handsome guys and I hate Romney's look."
凤梨罐头0122: "Obama, because I'm not the 1%."
比比安77: "I'd vote for Obama because if I were in the US, I'd be an extreme liberal, supporting universal healthcare and abortion, etc."
纽约小文艺: "Obama because Romney's policies are too radical."
yiqiwei: "Obama. Who would vote for someone who believes in an evil religion?"
水印同学: "Obama. He worked his way from the bottom, he is black, he is good at public speech and he looks cute."
black梁少波: "Obama because he loves NBA."
When will we be allowed to elect our own presidents?
Whenever there is news about an election in a country, Chinese netizens ask this question. They've been asked enough "if you were" questions and they grow more and more thirsty of an opportunity to cast a ballot as a Chinese. But along with this mounting urgent comes a deep frustration and dissatisfaction with what China is today and will be in a foreseeable future.
湖北枣阳龚梦珠: "I don't know enough to vote for either of them, but I'm so jealous. When Americans excitedly participate in their election, all we have in China are backdoor deals. So pathetic. "
草包邢老九: "Chinese people will never have the right to vote. We do have "the right to vote", but we don't have a say on whom we can vote for."
APPEL敢欺负我就咬你: "Not sure whether someday in my life, I can practice my voting rights in my own country."
v实话实说v: "The political system in the US ensures that who the president is matters not very much. There will be no difference whatsoever. I care more about my own country."
初恋的初: "There is no if. We don't have voting rights in China."
古北廊人: "We don't have the right to vote here so we can only "think hypothetically."
草舍玛丽: "It's none of my business. The only thing I care about is when I can vote for China's president."
凡人老吉: "How dare you, as a Chinese citizen, think about voting, even hypothetically!"
中保投资段玉: "I'd vote for a corrupted Chinese official. Soon the US will be destroyed."
阿美正传: "When can we vote for our president?"
冰_红茶: "In the US, even if you make a wrong choice, you have a chance to correct your mistake every four years. But in China, if something goes wrong, it can only keep on going in the wrong direction, otherwise the whole society will collapse. The current system in China sucks."
一路前行_fighting: "In the US, people elect public servants. In China, public services pick people. Think hypothetically? There is nothing to think. You simply don't have the right."
Obama, Romney, whatever. It's evil capitalism.
Just like in the eyes of many Americans, China can never get rid of the image of an evil red commie dictatorship, in the eyes of many Chinese netizens, the US, at heart, is always the imperial mafia overlord who plots against China.
停不了Ellen: "No matter who is the president, the US is still the imperial US. Imperialism is so deeply rooted in American culture that who becomes the next president no longer matters."
棉棉玖伍: "Whatever, both are bad."
阳光下的闲鸽子: "What's the difference? Whoever got elected will serve the interests of the special interest groups behind them. It's something every American understands. Why we Chinese don't get it?"
薛原XueYuan: "In a developed country like the US, who is the president doesn't matter all that much."
Romney isn't completely without supporters.
隐机道人: "Romney of course. Obama is just a black commie. All he does is wasting money and talking big only to impress."
一辉917: "Romney. The same face for 4 years is a bit annoying."
aimechine: "Romney. It's fun to have a change."
沈想想的事: "Romney. Lawyer as president is good in theory but bad in reality."
井一鸿: "Romney because he will label China as a currency manipulator. I admit that I still think from a Chinese stand point."

LAKELAND — In a game that featured 10 errors, Lakeland Christian took advantage of the last one to post a 4-3 victory over Indian Rocks Christian.
In the bottom of the sixth inning, Vikings Zoe Wilson and Shelby Pierce reached on a fielder's choice and error, respectively. Then after a double steal Hannah Webster knocked in both runners as the shortstop's low throw eluded the first baseman.
IRC (11-9) scored three runs in the fourth. Jessica Logemann knocked in one run, then with two outs Sarah Brangenburg tied the score as the pitcher failed to field a groundball. Kahley Dohme singled to right to bring home seventh-grader Olivia Ross-Johnson.

Whoops! The Dry Eye Zone is not looking quite its normal self. Unfortunately, due to a catastrophic series of errors recently by our hosting service, we lost a great deal of content (including the home page) and were only able to restore from a backup that was a few years old. I've created this TEMPORARY HOME PAGE until we can get things fixed up in better shape. So sorry for the inconvenience, terribly sorry for the outdated information on many of the restored pages at present, and most of all sorry for the SMALL PRINT, which I will fix as soon as I know how!
The Dry Eye Zone is an information center and community of people suffering from some kind of "dry eye", the convenient but misleading catch-all term under which a myriad of different eye and eyelid diseases, syndromes and symptom collections are lumped!
People with dry eye symptoms may experience a wide range of symptoms ranging from a searing, burning sensation to extreme light sensitivity to constant blurred vision. They may have symptoms connected specifically to disease or damage to one or more parts of their tear system - the lacrimal (tear producing) glands; the meibomian (oil-producing) glands; the blink (tear pumping and spreading) mechanism; their eyelid aperture; their canalicular (tear drainage) system; or a combination of these things; or for totally unknown causes. They may be able to trace the condition(s) to specific causes such as side effects from surgeries (LASIK, PRK, blepharoplasty, cataract surgery, corneal transplants, etc); cancer treatments; GvHD; Stevens Johnson Syndrome; systemic drugs; ocular drugs; auto-immune diseases like Sjogrens Syndrome or rheumatoid arthritis; hormonal changes; eyelid diseases or injuries; corneal diseases; nocturnal lagophthalmos; Bell's palsy; long term contact lens use; meibomian gland dysfunction; or any of a long list of other causes.
What unites us as a community are symptoms of eye discomfort which are severe enough to have a profound impact on daily functioning in such basic things as sleeping, reading, driving and working. Sound, comprehensive medical advice is surprisingly hard to come by for people with "dry eye" and practical advice for living with it even more so - hence the importance of a community where we can share information and hope.
till I can get my site running properly again:
In the Blink of an Eye: Please read this fabulous recent article by Bryn Nelson, exploring the world of ocular surface pain, why patients who have it are not getting the help they need, and what research is being done on it.
Dry Eye Talk is our community forum and a wonderful source of support, information and, most importantly, HOPE! Due to the recent IT issues we cannot immediately register new users (we expect to be able to start a gain by September 25) but come and browse and email us with your information so that we can register you as soon as we're able.
Dry Eye Shop is not just a shop, it's a big database of information on all kinds of products that have been helpful to dry eye patients over the years. Browse down-to-earth descriptions, Q&A and honest reviews of dry eye glasses, dry eye night protection devices, lid care products and more. A couple of my most favoritest products... Nereus, the new dry eye glasses for men, and Quartz, an old standby and still my favorite night dry eye protection device due to its simplicity and ease of use.

Knowledgeable Gulf Captain Wanted
This is for a POSSIBLE cruise we are thinking of doing in beginning to mid June.
Currently we are getting ready to go from Tampa to Mobile, AL. (please see my other post in SWFL destinations)
We are a 44' Mason Cutter.
We may continue on to Kemah, TX either from Mobile or from Pensacola but our plans are a bit up in the air. We need to make this decision fairly soon - weather permitting - but we are looking to have an experienced and knowledgeable captain go with us for the second leg across the Gulf.
Anyone out there no someone or IS someone who has a lot of experience and knowledge making this crossing? Please let me know thoughts.
We have one Captain on hold for the trip but we are not sure if he will be able to do it.
As for other details:
There will be two guests on board and myself. The two guests have little to no sailing experience. One is an able bodied person - the other is very wise - but not able bodied. He is a very old doctor and ex Navy man. It will be myself and whichever Captain I hire plus the one able bodied guest as the 3 persons on watch.

I talk about gear
a lot
on my
channel. :3 Always open to more discussion.
Actually, the D600 was compelling enough for me to put in motion the switch from my existing DSLR system to Nikon (I've consigned most of my gear at a local shop, not selling as fast as I had hoped). Although, with the rash of refurbished D800 floating around, that seems like a far out, yet potential, option too. I'd probably rather put that cash into lenses though.
Feature for feature, Canon seems to charge more lately. It wasn't really on my radar.
- A bit large, as I'm use to Pentax SLRs. Has the nice pro-level FF features like 1/8000th max shutter speed and 1/250th max flash sync speed and a more professional control layout compared to the D600.
- Reports of issues with left focus points, although said to be fixed. This would explain why so many refurbished D800 are around at the moment.
- High density pixel count makes the DX debate of extra reach pretty much pointless.
- Same batteries as D600 and D7000.
- 4fps continuous shooting is slow.
- One of the smallest FF cameras, which I see as a benefit. Still has a nice 100% coverage viewfinder.
- 1/4000th max shutter and 1/200th max flash sync are the biggest negatives, but ISO 50 is somewhat of a help. Being FF is also a help because I would expect to use smaller apertures than I do on APS-C.
- Nicely featured video mode with mic and headphone jacks.
- Very similar to the D7000, which is the camera I have right now (picked it up cheap from a friend to hold me until the gear sells, will be my second as I use primes). Same batteries; dual SD card slots (again, Pentax uses SD)
- AF points are scrunched together compared to other FF cameras, but I most often use the center point alone anyways.
- Lens rental site reported an oddly high level of sensor dust accumulation on their first batch of D600 after being sent out to customers and returned (all 20 had similar dust pattern, normally 4 of 20 is what they expect).
Certainly good, but much too expensive for me personally. Also, too large for my tastes.
Right now, my kit is looking like:
D600, D7000, 20mm f2.8(d), 28mm f1.8g, 50mm f1.8g, and 85mm f1.8g
Can't say I need something ranged, but maybe a super cheap FF capable zoom.
