Hopefully when you need it most it goes bang in the right direction. Am i right?
Lot's of responses to my question here. It's interesting to read the differing opinions. I think it would really depend on who used the gun as to whether I would want to have it. Like someone posted earlier, if it was a pedophile or a murderer that ate a bullet from it, I would keep the gun knowing it did a great service to humanity. But if it was my family or friend I don't think I'd be able to hold the gun without being reminded of it and trying to imagine the last moments of pain they felt to have to resort to such a thing.
Now, if it was my best friend that turned out to be a pedophile psycho killer, I might have to toss a coin to decide to keep it or not. :rolleyes:
Just a little story about one of my guns. My grandfather's cousin shot himself out in the barn with a shotgun I currently own. No regrets about owning it, no desire to get rid of it whatsoever.
If it's a Glock, Hk or Kimber....yes.
Let's take it easy on the personal attacks. This is purely opinion.
My own take is that a gun is just an inanimate object with no will of its own. As someone else wrote, it's just a tool for poking holes in things. I'm not superstitious or religious and therefore don't buy into concepts like "bad karma." To me a gun is merely a hunk of metal and plastic or wood, no matter if it's been used to ventilate paper or people.
It's just a gun.
I'd use it.
Oddly enough, my gut tells me I'd be more comfortable buying a "murder or suicide" house than a "suicide" gun. I realize it's irrational, but that's my gut.
A gun is a gun.
I have a gun that was used to kill a man. With the exception of some pitting, it looks, fires, and feels like it did prior to the killing.
It would bother me a lot to own a gun that killed someone that was close to me. But, if the gun killed a stranger, no matter what the circumstance, I think I could deal with that.
Now if it had a bunch of notches on it, that might be a bad sign and it might be a good idea to sell it to someone you don't like.;)
Yes I would use it It is a tool just like a hammer or saw any of the 3 can kill you if misused. Just because someone was in so much pain to kill themselves doesn't mean I can not take it and use it for good. :smt1099
I tend to agree with everyone saying that it's just a purpose-bulilt hunk of metal (or possibly plastic), but I also completely understand why others wouldn't want it. It does evoke emotion to some people when they know it was used in a suicide. To each his own, if it bothers you, don't buy it or just get rid of it if you already have it. If it doesn't, hit the range! If it was the suicide instrument of someone I was close to, I'd think that would make me less likely to get rid of it. It'd be kind of a memorial to that person every time I shoot it. Because it is, after all, just a piece of equipment. Perhaps it would be a good thing to think of a lost friend/relative when using this piece of equipment... Perhaps not. I can't say for sure since I've never been in the situation. But my thinking is, it's a perfectly good firearm, and why let it go to waste?
If I read the original post correctly, the gun was given not bought. The gun is just another steel and plastic tool that has no decision as to what it is used for. I'd keep it.
I would, a gun is a gun.
It has not, nor will not kill anyone. It is inanimate...
I carry a SP101 that was burgled from my vehicle in one city, and recovered by the DEA in a drug raid 11 years later in another city.
I thought it was pretty cool that they returned it to me., or at least allowed me to travel to that city and pick it up. They wouldn't deliver.
I often wonder what it had been involved in during those years, but don't let it keep me from enjoying having it back.
I'd need some details before I decided to keep it or not...
Did the fellow bleed on it? That's bad for the finish...
Are we sure it was a suicide and not an accidental discharge?
Thus far, I've had one (1) AD in all my years of handling firearms & that was from a shotgun with a sear that broke (releasing the firing pin) as I worked the slide action. Fortunately, as always, I had the gun pointed in a safe direction (toward the clay that had just launched -- but I missed --darn!).
I'd use it.
I wouldn't touch a "suicide gun". To be honest, that's the kind of weird stuff that makes some people think gun owners are nuts. Sure, a gun is a gun is a gun, and sure, a gun is a tool, and sure, the suicide wasn't the gun's fault. But it's just weird to pull out a gun from the gun safe and show it to someone and say (without a hint of feeling) "yeah, some dude's wife killed herself with this."
At the very least, sell it and buy a different gun.
The only reason for keeping such a gun would be if it had some sentimental value.
The gun is only a tool. Tools are not Evil......some people are though,
I would have no reservations with owning this fine tool .
Strictly my opinion... It depends on the situation, but I would not keep this gun. Just something about having a gun that someone used to kill themselves with gives me the willies. I'm a Karma believer and I would think that it has some type of bad juju on it. On the other hand. Combat weapons and duty weapons might be a different story. I'd consider owning one of them where there is no question about a suicide gun. I Can't pinpoint why, but that is my take and I'm sticking to it.
It wouldn't bother me to have a gun with a history like that. I used to collect old military guns for a while. They all just about had a history. I still have a few but sold a lot of them mainly because I don't shoot long guns as much since I for hurt. I don't really hunt anymore and It guns are made to shoot. It isn't fair to them to make them into safe queens.
I'm another one that would probably take the gun without reservations. It would be a totally different situation if it was a family member or close friend that committed suicide. I would probably want that gun gone.
The house I grew up in actually had a suicide in it. One of the contractors pulled his car into the garage and asphyxiated himself. I was too young to know about it at the time, but it did creep me out a little bit when I found out later, but it really wasn't a big deal. Again, if a family member or friend had done it, totally different story.

The P-11 is only a pocket gun for those with deep pockets... but since you're a future millionaire, and not a current millionaire, I'd stick to a P-3AT for pocket carry.
Sorry... I had to do it.
Yes, many people here love their P-11s, and PF-9s. They are good guns for low bucks. Neither is pleasant/fun to range-shoot daily, and both are large as pocket-guns go. The PF-9 is very well suited to IWB (Inside the Waist Band) carry, because it is very slim. If you're going with a gun as thick as the P-11, your better off saving your nickels for a M&P, XD, or Glock.
As a beginner-shooting, you WILL need a gun that you can shoot frequently for practice, practice, practice. So I agree with the 9mm. For close in, defensive work, the 380 is fine, but only if you can be accurate with it. The 9mm is better for home defense, but both scenarios are close-quarters.

dura ceramic
I thinking about purchasing dura ceramic. It looks better with grout but the store installers tell me that grout is a problem. It will either crack or discolor. Have any of you had any dealing with this product.
in my opinion this stuff is junk and would direct you to real tile.This is someones attempt to get to the cheaper side side of the ceramic market and try to sell you somwething that is going to fail you in a year or 2 .If you are going to spend this money on tilelike products spend a lil mo money and go witrh tile:)
ceramic tile substrate
The first questions i would ask is what thickness is the subfloor?And what type is it?(particle board,osb,plywood)Then what size are the joists and the spacing?Lets answer those first and then we can proceed with how fix the problem.
The Joists are 16 inch over center, and are probably 2 x10s with 3/4-inch plywood over the top. The joists are 12 to 14 feet long with no support posts during that span. The cement board is 1/4-inch thick.
Maybe this Ditra product is something to consider for my floor with the tile grout cracks. Have you had success with this product or something similiar?
Duraceramic is alot more affordable, and not all clients are ceramic clients.
It is definately not in the ceramic category as far as value and durability, but it is also far away from the "Junk" category as well.
Sparky9999 did you put down the DuraCeramic?
i heard the same thing about the grout but that it smears. Well, i had it put down and it does smear. the contractors didn't wipe it up so now i have to do it.
From what i have heard th grout is supposed to be more stain resistant because it is acrylic and Congoleum has a warranty against staining.
i was torn between ceramic and this Dura Ceramic more for pratical reasons than money. I hated the idea of the permanance of the subfloor and the hardness of the ceramic.
So far i like the look but i need to get up the smear. My contractors were terrible. I have had them back several times for glaring mistakes...I should have let me husband do it himself but I was impatient.
In your kitchen where the grout is cracking was the cementboard screwed AND thinsetted to the subfloor? It should be.
Need Help Asap!!!!
Has anyone gotten sick when installing dura ceramic??? Particularly with the ds100 duraset glue???
My husband has been installing carpet/lino for 20 years, installed the tile for the 2nd time and got dangeriously ill!!! Felt dizzy and then experienced a Grand Mal like seizure ( was not a grand mal though). He had these sympotms for 48 hours.
If anyone has any info or has become ill when installing this product please email me.... I can really use some help!!!
I have not heard of the illness at all.
So far no complaints....
Up above, I seen someone mention 1/8" and 1/4" thick cement board. I didnt even know they made it that thin, and I would think neither is a good choice for floors, maybe only walls. IMO
When we did the bathroom recently, we used backer board screws every 8" to start, then added more as needed, in the joists and wherever there seemed to be some play. We also thinsetted all the seems and edges.
The cement board screws should NOT be into the joists, if it's at all possible to avoid them.
And hopefully you thinsetted under the entire sheet, not just the edges and seams.
1/4" Rock works fine for floors and (although I've never even heard of) 1/8", it would be OK too. The purpose of the cement board is to "decouple" the tile from the plywood...that's all..nothing more. Contrary to popular belief, it's not meant as a "flex stopper". You should have the floor within flex tolerances before the rock is installed.
This is the first tile project I've ever been involved in. My Dad was a carpenter for many years and he was the "foreman" on my project. He said he has always done it that way, screwed to the joists, not thinsetted, except for the seams and edges, and he has never had a problem. I'm not saying what is right or wrong, but he is extremely meticulous and I trust his opinion. The tile work he has done in his parents house and his is still looking good after 20-30 years. JProffer, I respect and value your opinion and will keep it in mind when I do the other bathroom floor. :thumbsup:

Pretty soft colors
By Coci
from New York City
I bought this print to complement a quilt set in the bedroom. The pastel colors of the print are very pretty and go well with the quilt. The print colors are true to what you see on the screen, so I was very happy about that. The print has a white border so it was a bit difficult to know what is the true size of the print. The paper quality is thin - I have other prints from All Posters that are thicker quality.

I had way too much fun compiling this post. Also, I got way too hungry. Does anyone else need a snack while they're browsing Pinterest? Anyone?
And somehow, foods for a crowd sound especially delicious. But I'll tell you one thing. Hosting a large group of people may be fun, but it is not easy!
I mean, I'm great at cooking, and I'm great at being friendly. But being friendly while I'm cooking. Oh, man. My brain is just not big enough for those two tasks at the same time.
That's why these meals (in addition to being super-yummy, and whole-foods) require most of the work to be done earlier in the day, so you can focus on your guests. No one wants to make small talk while whisking a demi-glace reduction for a dozen people, do they?
Hope you enjoy this list for twenty delicious, whole-foods meals to serve a crowd! Here they are:
- Burgers, grass-fed, of course :), BBQ baked beans, Homemade Hamburger Buns, and a healthy summer salad.
- Spaghetti and Meatballs with whole-grain pasta or Spaghetti Squash
- Ultimate Red Chili … and don't forget the cornbread.
- White Chicken Chili … and still don't forget the cornbread.
- Spaghetti With Crock Pot Spaghetti Sauce

DVD Burner Software
Tips on selecting DVD burner software: versions and operating systems
The DVD, or Digital Versatile Disc, is a disc platter on which data may be stored. Any digital data may be stored on a DVD, whether the data is a document, an image, digital music, or a digital movie. The DVD is notable for the amount of data that can be stored on the disk, with capacities of 4.7 and 8.54 gigabytes, for single-sided, single-layer disks, and 9.4, or 7.08 gigabytes for the double-sided, double-layer type. The disk is substantially a polycarbonate, a plastic. The material on which the data is recorded is generally aluminum. (more…)
Do you love to watch Network TV Show Series?
If you love to watch a good network tv show series as much as I do – you'll enjoy the article I just wrote on TV Shows and the New Paradigm of watching the way we want to!
There is no question that tv is being made as good as it ever was. The production value of many network shows rivals that of big budget motion pictures!
You can't help but dig that!
Do you watch tv live?
Wouldn't you rather timeshift?
I have some friends who are reluctant to start recording shows on DVR's and watching the way they want them.
They seem to think it's ok to be slaves to the networks and change their schedules or perhaps miss shows.
I can't say they're crazy because I know a lot of people don't take recording from satellite tv or downloading tv shows as seriously as I do BUT I do know that if they would give in and experience the freedom that DVR's and Downloading of TV Shows offers us – they'd never sit through a bad block of tv commercials again!

Getting married in South Korea? Bring a lot of cash!
By Eunhye Shin
SEOUL (Reuters) - The Beatles may have sung "all you need is love," but in South Korea a couple wanting to get married also needs cash, a lot of it - nearly $200,000, or more than four times the average annual income.
The sky-high costs stem from a combination of cultural traditions that mandate expensive pre-wedding gifts between families, such as mink coats and diamond rings, along with a decades-old custom that the groom must fork over money to provide a home.
The average cost for a wedding in 2011 rose about 270 percent from 1999, while the inflation during the same period rose 45.5 percent. Total costs far outstripped the average annual household income at around 48.3 million Korean won ($42,400), according to government data.
Thus, young couples seeking to unite in wedded bliss are forced to borrow from parents or take out loans. With candid discussions of money a cultural taboo in Korea, many are reluctant to speak about the high cost of exchanging vows.
"Korean society is very tightly knit, and people here are very concerned about how others view them," said Harris H. Kim, a sociology assistant professor at Ewha Womans University.
"The wedding works as a status symbol, like a marker of where you stand in the society," he added.
One 27-year-old woman working in the financial industry, who like many others asked to remain anonymous, said her parents paid nearly 90 percent of her 140 million won ($122,900) wedding costs.
"We had to use our parents' money, which probably came from the sacrifice of their own retirement savings," she said. Continued...

Plastic heat exchanger
I am looking for any information on plastic heat exchangers. I saw in a picture what appeared to be one on a Bristol 32. I have a Bristol 32 with a Universal 5424. The concept seems to make a lot of sense. It would seem you would eliminate most of the corrosion potential in your raw water system that way. Does anyone have one, know of someone who does, or have info as to where you can find them?
Jeff, plastic just doesn't transfer heat well.
There are a number of heat exhangers and radiators built using plastic caps (top caps or end caps) but AFAIK the actual tubing is still going to be metal simply because it transfers heat SO much better.
With the right metals and an adequate zinc, corrosion should not be a problem.
The problem with zincs is getting to them. In my boat you have to be a contortionist to get to the HE zinc so it doesnt get changed enough. Do you know who manufactors them so I can research them?
Not offhand. I suspect you'd have to check local suppliers to see what they deal in, since freight tends to be steep on that kind of stuff.
As hellosailor said, the shell and heads may be plastic but the tubes or other heat transfer surfaces will be copper or other similar metals. Plastic is a lousy conductor of heat!
It's usually a pencil zinc, the size of a small screw on the underside of the exchanger. Get a teenager who doesn't smoke (they won't drop it, and then say.. wow man!) and offer them a prepaid phone card, pizza, or something else they may be into.
Yes, heat exchanger (HX) zincs need to be replaced and it would seem frequently as there can be a lot of dissimilar metals in a HX. Catalinadirect.com carries all three sizes used on various Universal engines and they cost about $10 each.
Read this page: Catalina Direct: The Unknown Zinc
and buy all 3 sizes to start with and once you know what size yours takes buy a few of them. Give the ones that are the wrong size away.
HX = extra life on your engine + extra maintenance.

Soccer Looks To Bounce Back At Auburn
Oct. 9, 2013
ATHENS, Ga. --- The Georgia soccer team (9-4-0, 2-3-0) will hit the road for one game this weekend, traveling to face Auburn (4-8-1, 0-5-0) on Fri., Oct 11 at 8 p.m. E.T. The Bulldogs are looking to get back on the right track after suffering a pair of losses at home last weekend. Georgia then has its second open date of the season on Sunday.
The AU game will include live audio coverage and the Georgia Soccer Live Blog on Georgiadogs.com beginning just before kickoff on the Plains.
Last Time Out: The Georgia soccer team suffered two home losses last weekend against Alabama and No. 25 Ole Miss to drop to 9-4 (2-3) on the season. The Bulldogs lost 3-2 in overtime to the Crimson Tide on Friday night, before falling by a 3-1 final to the Rebels on Sunday.
In that game, the Bulldogs got a third-minute goal from freshman Marion Crowder, her ninth of the season, as the Mississippi native moved into sole possession of second place all-time in goals by a UGA rookie. Keeper Caitlin Woody posted a career-eight eight saves vs. the Rebels, who scored three unanswered goals in the win.
Georgia has lost three games in a row for the first time since Oct. 7-14, 2012, but the squad responded after that skid to win 3-0 at Mississippi State on Oct. 19.
Looking at the Tigers: Auburn enters the weekend at 4-8-1 overall and 0-5-0 in conference play coming off last weekend's 3-1 loss to Texas A&M and 3-0 loss to Florida.
Statistically, the Tigers are led by a pair of players with double-digit points to their name in Casie Ramsier (5g, 3a, 13p) and Tori Ball (4g, 4a, 12p). Two goalkeepers have split time in net for AU, with Alyse Scott logging 692 minutes and eight starts, and Alicen Wright playing just shy of 500 minutes with five starts.
Auburn - like Georgia - is a relatively young group, with 10 newcomers (eight freshmen) on the 2013 team to join 11 returners. AU went 13-11-1 last season and reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
Georgia owns a slim 9-8-2 lead in the all-time series, though the Bulldogs are seeking their first win over Auburn since 2010. Last season, the Tigers squeaked by with a 1-0 win in Athens.
Bulldogs In The National Rankings, RPI: Georgia opened at No. 13 in the NCAA RPI, and is now No. 38. The RPI (rating percentage index) is the most important criteria used by the NCAA to determine the 64-team tournament field, taking into consideration a team's results and strength of schedule. Thirteen was the highest RPI for the Bulldogs since they were No. 9 on Oct. 21, 2009, and the highest of the head coach Steve Holeman era, while the following week's No. 17 marked the second-highest.
Georgia will look to return to the national rankings this week after briefly slipping out following last weekend's losses. Georgia was No. 20 in last week's Soccer America poll and No. 24 in Soccer Times, and was receiving votes in the NSCAA Coaches Poll.
Stacking Up: Through the early part of the 2013 campaign, the Bulldogs stack up well both nationally and in the SEC in several categories. In the NCAA statistics, released for the first time last month and updated after games through Oct. 6, Georgia's shutout percentage of 0.615 ranks 16th in the nation, while the Bulldogs' goals-against average of 0.762 is good for 53rd.
Individually, Marion Crowder's nine goals rank 29th in the nation and sixth in the Southeastern Conference, while the rookie's 19 points are good for 55th in the nation and seventh in the SEC. Caitlin Woody's 0.821 save percentage ranks 76th in the NCAA and third in the SEC.
Crowder Power: When Marion Crowder scored four goals against the College of Charleston on Sept. 15, she became the first freshman to do so in Georgia soccer history. The only other player to score four goals in a game for the Bulldogs was senior Jessica Winton, and it happened a decade ago. With a team-leading nine goals and one assist for 19 points, Crowder already ranks second all-time among UGA freshman in a single season, while her team-best five game-winning goals rank fifth all-time still with six regular-season games to play.
Before she was kept off the board at Kentucky on Sept. 29, Crowder has scored in four straight games, and promptly got back in the scoring column against Ole Miss on Oct. 6 as she tallied one in the third minute of the game.
Next Up: The Bulldogs return home to the UGA Soccer Stadium for two games next weekend, hosting Mississippi State and Texas A&M on Friday and Sunday, respectively. The game vs. the Aggies is set for a 3 p.m. start and will be televised nationally on ESPNU.

Poncho 400 from 71 gto
Recently got the car, a 68 Firebird with a 71 400 GTO engine "YS" transplanted. Compression on the engine measured as follows, the first number is dry and the second number is with a half a teaspoon of oil added. All plugs were out and throttle wide open during testing.
cyl dry wet
1 146 160
2 152 153
3 150 151
4 145 146
5 154 170
6 159 164
7 150 151
8 154 160
Cyl 1, 5 bumped up quite a bit higher with some oil added while the others didn't show much difference. The readings seem to be close to the shop manual range 0f 150-170.
I'm wondering if this engine is in need of rebuilding before gettomg other work done to the car. It's not running well. The ignitions wires look old and questionable. The carb need to be sorted out too. It has a vibration peak at around 2500 rpms and odor of raw fuel
I have no idea how many miles the engine had on it when swapped into the car or how many miles afterwards. There is plenty of varnish and deposits under the valve covers.
Usually cylinders should be within 10% of each other. You are right at that point. It is up to you. Do you feel like rebuilding it? Is a fresh new engine worth the trouble? If so start making arrangements. There are a lot of nice engine kits on Ebay for cheap.

Providing Comprehensive Environmental Services for North America
Clean Harbors Pipe Ramming / Pipe Extraction Services utilizes pneumatic powered tools to drive a steel pipe horizontally into the ground. The front end of the pipe is left open, allowing soil to enter the pipe. After installation is completed, the soil is removed by doubling up the casing or auguring out. Hammers are available in 12, 16, and 20 inch diameters.
Piping ramming reduces set up and maintenance costs when placing steel casing. It can keep casing size to a minimum in cobble by swallowing the material whole, and it eliminates the risk of creating a void in sand conditions as the material is not removed until after the casing is installed.

KMT and DPP face rifts ahead of elections in Hsinchu
By Chi-hao James Lo, The China Post Thursday, August 14, 2014, 12:01 am TWN
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- National Policy Advisor to the President Cheng Yung-chin (鄭永金) yesterday resigned from his post to declare his participation in the upcoming Hsinchu magisterial election, creating an internal party split for the Kuomintang (KMT), much like the difficulty the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) is currently facing with the Hsinchu mayoral election candidacy declaration of Tsai Jen-chien (蔡仁堅).
Cheng, who had previously served as KMT Hsinchu County magistrate for a full eight-year term, announced that he has stepped down from his position as national policy advisor to the president to run as an independent candidate against incumbent Hsinchu County Magistrate and fellow KMT member Chiu Ching-chun (邱鏡淳), who will be running for re-election.
Reportedly, rumors of Cheng's intention to run for magistrate have long been circulating within the county. In his various interviews on the issue, Cheng had usually refrained from answering the question directly, only stating that he will follow the voice of the people. Cheng will officially announce his independent magisterial candidacy today.
Cheng's independent status will mark a party rift with the KMT, his former party. Former KMT Secretary-General Tseng Yung-chuan (曾永權) had allegedly implored Cheng to change his decision in July to no avail.
The magisterial election will be yet another of many political battles Chen and Chiu will share, as both had run against each other for the same position before. The election was eventually won by former Magistrate DPP Lin Kwang-hua (林光華) for a four-year term before Cheng succeeded in winning his tenure. Cheng also openly supported Hsinchu County Councilwoman Chang Pi-chin (張碧琴) to run against Chiu for his current magisterial term.
In response to Cheng's decision and correlating resignation, President Ma Ying-jeou stated during the KMT's Central Standing Committee that he feels it is an unfortunate situation, one that the KMT will continue to negociate with Cheng.
DPP Faces Similar Challenge for Hsinchu City Mayoral Election
The DPP's Tsai, who had previously served a single term as Hsinchu mayor, declared his intention to run again on behalf of the DPP for the position on Tuesday. However, Tsai's decision has been reported to be against the general consensus and strategy of the DPP.
Reportedly, the DPP has strategized to recruit independent politician Hsieh Wen-chin (謝文進) to run against incumbent KMT Hsinchu Mayor Hsu Ming-Tzai's (許明財) re-election campaign with the same approach the party currently has with independent Taipei mayoral hopeful Ko Wen-je (柯文哲). Following Hsu's alleged indirect responses the DPP at one point reportedly considered DPP member Lin Chih-chien (林智堅) as a candidate.
With Tsai's declaration, the DPP's plans have reportedly been disrupted. When questioned if he could face party disciplinary actions, Tsai told reporters that he is a founding member of the DPP, and that his decision to run for mayor to complete his unfinished term will not be reversed.

5 'Dogs, Batesole Receive Preseason CSM MW Honors
Jan. 21, 2013
FRESNO, Calif. --- Five Bulldog baseball players and Fresno State head coach Mike Batesole received preseason Mountain West honors from CollegeSportsMadness.com on Monday.
Among the five 'Dogs honored, outfielder Aaron Judge and infielders Jake Alvarez and Trent Garrison were named to CSM's preseason MW first-team while pitcher Tyler Linehan and 2012 conference tournament Most Valuable Player Jordan Luplow collected MW second-team distinctions.
The five preseason CSM selections were the second-most of any MW team as New Mexico, who like the Bulldogs also advanced to NCAA Regional play last season, reeled in six.
Heading into its first season in the Mountain West after winning seven straight Western Athletic Conference titles along with the 2008 national championship, Batesole earned CSM's preseason MW Coach of the Year honor.
Fresno State opens the 2013 season on Feb. 15 at 6:35 p.m. at home against UC Santa Barbara and season tickets are available through the Bulldog Ticket Office by calling 559-278-DOGS or visiting www.gobulldogs.com.

Sept. 11, which burned such a vivid, permanent mark onto the minds of most adults, is beginning to fade into just another significant historical event in the minds of many school-age children.
When the sixth anniversary of the terrorist attacks is commemorated Tuesday, Utah schools will not uniformly hold assemblies or even talk much about Sept. 11, preferring instead to tackle the topic in U.S. history classes at the end of the year with the rest of the 21st century.
Children simply aren't as connected to the event as adults, says Beth Johnston, East Layton Elementary School principal. The oldest of her students was only 6 years old on Sept. 11, 2001.
She said her school teaches respect for the U.S., but does not commemorate Sept. 11.
"We don't want our kids thinking about that. We want them to move on," Johnston said. "It might be age appropriate for older students to acknowledge and talk about it, but for our younger kids, we don't want them to dwell on violence."
Eastwood Elementary School in Salt Lake City generally observes a moment of silence, but leaves it at that, secretary Tina Jensen said.
"We try to keep it pretty low key because some of the kids weren't even born," Jensen said. "We try not to scare them."
Some educators say they're in a sticky spot when it comes to teaching or commemorating Sept. 11 at school. On one hand, it was long enough ago that many of today's students barely remember it and feel little emotional connection to it. On the other hand, it was so recent it can be hard to explain Sept. 11 and its consequences in a comprehensive way, said Robert Austin, K-12 social studies specialist for the Utah State Office of Education.
"There is so much additional context and so many other stories there, that it can become daunting to a teacher to figure out how to be selective enough, sensitive enough and to provide the right balance and depth," Austin said.
Teaching Sept. 11 is not part of the state's core social studies curriculum, but might be included in revisions expected this school year, depending on what the community wants, Austin said.
Still, he said it would difficult for U.S. history teachers not to mention Sept. 11 in their classes within the context of modern history.
West High School U.S. history teacher Dave Harper said he teaches students about Sept. 11 at the end of the school year. He presents the tragedy within the context of global conflicts between cultures and explains how the attacks led to later events.
Harper said he tries to be sensitive to the fact that the consequences of Sept. 11 are still playing out.
"It will be 50 years before we have the research and historians and we're away from the people and politics . . . before we have the real story," Harper said.
Scott Crump of Bingham High School in South Jordan said he teaches students about Sept. 11 in both his "American Problems" and regular history classes. He sometimes talks about Sept. 11 on Sept. 11 and at other times, he addresses the topics at different points in the year.
He asks his students to write essays about whether they would like to be remembered as the "9/11 generation." Crump said Sept. 11 was a generation-defining event the same way President Kennedy's assassination was for baby boomers and Pearl Harbor was for their parents.
In the same way America moved on from those events, students today are also moving on from Sept. 11, Crump said.
"Now, I don't think it's as emotional as it was," Crump said. "I still remember where I was when Kennedy was shot and I remember how tragic I felt and how emotional, but after all these years . . . I know it's just a part of history and there's nothing I can do about it."
Though many schools are moving away from grand commemorations of Sept. 11, some are holding fast.
Eagle Mountain's Eagle Valley Elementary School plans to have a National Guardsman speak to students on Sept. 11 about patriotism. The school also will have a Humvee behind the school during lunch, Principal Keith Conley said. Wednesday, students will wear red, white and blue to school.
"It's important to continue to teach our students about the importance of the sacrifice [soldiers] make for us and not just to forget 9/11," Conley said. "That's why we've asked men and women to serve throughout the world to protect the United States."
He also mentions other historical events such as the anniversary of Pearl Harbor over the loudspeaker each year.
Conley said the commemorations will continue as long as he's still principal.
After that, it's anyone's guess whether Eagle Valley will join the ranks of schools that are moving toward remembering Sept. 11 only within the context of a history lesson.
"It may seem kind of saddening at one level, but it's also kind of encouraging," said Austin of the state Office of Education. "It's important for students to understand there are traumatic events in their lives that have an impact on them, but people survive. People figure out how to move ahead."

Thanks, to all you guys, who have givin me sound advice.I honestly think my morale would be low with out your support.
The problem is because I am a new starter, jogging is so hard. I want to be up with you guys.This is not going to happen overnight.
Reading my message I hope it helps in reminding yourselves how far you have come.
I use to be a regular runner 10 years ago and remember what it was like to be fit.The head remembers but the body says no.
At present I can just a bout jog, doing 1mile in 20 mins. Quite frightning how you can be come a couch potato and allow your fitness level to drop.
I remember doing a 10k years ago and although i was right a the back of the pack seeing the winners clapping me home was a tremendous feeling.
There seems t o be a mutral respect amongst runners no matter what level you are at.Thanks again to all my new found buddies take care.

I am a Ph.D candidate working with Drew Coleman on understanding the timescales of magmatic processes, specifically in relation to supervolcano eruptions. I use CA-ID-TIMS in the UNC Isotope Geochemistry Laboratory for U-Pb zircon geochronology and other isotope geochemistry. For my Master's, I investigated possible similarities between the large, monotonous Mount Givens Granodiorite in the Sierra Nevada and large volume (>500 km3) supereruptions such as the Fish Canyon Tuff in Colorado. I am currently investigating the use of zircon U-Pb geochronology combined with titanite U-Pb dating to understand the timescales over which plutonic rocks exist in a magma mush state after intrusion, which has direct bearing on how long magmas may be eruptible.
I am currently a Teaching Assistant for GEOL 404: Petrology and Plate Tectonics. I have previously been a Research Assistant in both of Drew Coleman's TIMS laboratories and Allen Glazner's SEM and XRF/XRD labs.

The After House HTML version
14. From The Crow's Nest
The night passed without incident, except for one thing that we were unable to
verify. At six bells, during the darkest hour of the night that precedes the early
dawn of summer, Adams, from the crow's-nest, called down, in a panic, that
there was something crawling on all fours on the deck below him.
Burns, on watch at the companionway, ran forward with his revolver, and
narrowly escaped being brained - Adams at that moment flinging down a
marlinespike that he had carried aloft with him.
I heard the crash and joined Burns, and together we went over the deck and,
both houses. Everything was quiet: the crew in various attitudes of exhausted
sleep, their chests and dittybags around them; Oleson at the wheel; and
Singleton in his jail-room, breathing heavily.
Adams's nerve was completely gone, and, being now thoroughly awake, I joined
him in the crow's-nest. Nothing could convince him that he had been the victim of
a nervous hallucination. He stuck to his story firmly.
"It was on the forecastle-head first," he maintained. "I saw it gleaming."
"Sort of shining," he explained. "It came up over the rail, and at first it stood up
tall, like a white post."
"You didn't say before that it was white."
"It was shining," he said slowly, trying to put his idea into words. "Maybe not
exactly white, but light-colored. It stood still for so long, I thought I must be
mistaken - that it was a light on the rigging. Then I got to thinking that there
wasn't no place for a light to come from just there."
That was true enough.

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R) showed off a gun she got as a Christmas present on Thursday.
"Our family had a wonderful Christmas together! I must have been good Santa gave me a Beretta PX4 Storm," she wrote on her Facebook and Instagram page Thursday.
She posted a photo of the pistol with that caption.
According to the gun manufacturer's website, that particular gun costs $575. One version can hold a magazine capacity of up to 17 rounds of bullets.
She was seen firing automatic machine guns to test them during the tour.
South Carolina law has relatively loose gun laws. No resident is required to have a state permit in order to possess a handgun, rifle or shotgun. Residents are required, however, to obtain a concealable weapons permit before carrying a handgun that's concealed or unconcealed. Carrying a firearm onto a private or public property is also illegal without permission. It's illegal to possess a machine gun.
Haley did sign legislation the South Carolina legislature passed this year that strengthens how people with mental health issues interested in purchasing firearms are tracked in a database.

The resplendent Hirscher, still just
22 years of age, earned his fourth
podium finish and second win of the
season moving him into the lead of
the World Cup's overall and slalom
standings. And again, the Italians
showed power, depth and pride
with Giuliano Razzoli finishing second and Cristian DeVille sixth. Patrick Thaler had the fastest second
run and posted seventh; Stephane
Gross was eighth. Third was German star Felix Neureuther.
Hirscher possesses great confi-dence, but said he was not fond ofthe Gran Risa slope. "It is really beautiful," he said, "but is not good for me for slalom." He was also wrestling with a tes-ty back and had spent three hours with the Austrian team physio after the GS. About waiting in the start for the secondrun with a narrow lead over Ivica Kostelic, the budding superstar said: "the tension was enormous. I knew I must at-tack again. Anything less helpsnothing."Halfway down the run a skill-ful recovery shocked him "wideawake," and he skied the re-mainder of the course error-free.Razzoli, in second, was morethan a half a second back.
"I really had no idea I was skiing
this fast," Hirscher said. "Three
podiums already and the season has just started. This whole
thing is just amazing."
Razzoli said he had been
struggling with a shoulder injury
and said he was glad to see the
therapy work paying off.

his third career win at Alta Badia.

NEW YORK – Shale-based resources increase the world's total potential oil reserves by 11 percent and natural gas by 47 percent, according to a U.S. report released Monday.
In an initial assessment of shale oil resources and an update of shale gas reserves, the U.S. Energy Information Agency said shale deposits could add 345 billion barrels of oil to global reserves, increasing the total to 3,357 billion barrels.
Shale gas adds 0.206 trillion cu. meters of natural gas, or 32 percent of the world total, the EIA report estimated.
In addition to the U.S., other countries with large shale resources include Russia, China, Argentina, Algeria and Libya.

PHILADELPHIA - On what was a dreary day in the heart of Philadelphia on Thursday, Spider senior Meaghan McGovern shined with her near school-record showing in the hammer throw at the Penn Relays.
After opening the event with a long of 55.73 meters through her first five throws, McGovern (North Kingston, R.I./North Kingston) unleashed for a personal-best toss of 56.24 meters (184-6) on her sixth and final hurl to finish second in the College section of the hammer. Her PR, which was less than .20 meters off Beth Crocus' school-record of 56.42 meters set in 2006, was two full meters further than her winning toss at last year's Penn Relays.
McGovern's throw currently ranks 30th in the NCAA East Region heading into nationwide competition this weekend. Her toss will likely land her a spot in May's First Round of the NCAA Championship in Jacksonville, Fla.
Up next for McGovern and the Spiders are the Atlantic 10 Outdoor Championships, scheduled for May 5-6 on the campus of Massachusetts in Amherst, Mass.
Stay updated on the Spiders' preparation for the conference meet and all the latest Richmond Track & Field news notes right here on RichmondSpiders.com.

So, I moved to California this summer and saw TONS of these sad "dying" plants all around where I live. Shortly after the leaves died, large flowers shot up out of the dead leaves. Beautiful pink, lily-like flowers all around me, they were absolutely gorgeous.
One of my neighbors told me they were called "Naked Ladies" and as I looked them over, I thought they looked a lot like a type of hippeastrum or amaryllis. Sure enough, a quick Google search told me they were, in fact, hippeastrum.
I decided that I wanted to keep some of these beauties in pots with my amaryllis collection. Yesterday, I potted some bulbs up.
Does anyone have any experience with growing these Naked Ladies in pots? If so, do you have any tips? Thanks!!
"Naked Lady" Hippeastrum advice needed
So, I moved to California this summer and saw TONS of these sad "dying" plants all around where I live. Shortly after the leaves died, large flowers shot up out of the dead leaves. Beautiful pink, lily-like flowers all around me, they were absolutely gorgeous.
No experience with this particular one. However, I have tried to grow the red "spider lily" also known as "naked ladies" in pots. What happened with them is that each successive year they grew new bulbs underneath the old bulbs. In a few years I had a put full of bulbs stacked on top of each other that never bloomed.
After I put them in the ground it took a couple of years for them to bloom.
I don't know if this would be applicable to the type of plant you have or not, but they are apparently relatives.
Good luck with them!
Hi, GeminisGreen.
Sounds like you have Amaryllis Belladonna bulbs. You can grow these in pots, but they should be in large containers since they don't really like their roots to be disturbed. And, as I understand, they want to be grown outdoors.
In the fall, they will grow leaves. If they haven't yet, they will when the rain comes, or once they've re-established their roots (for those that were transplanted). You're in a warm enough climate that they will likely keep their leaves through the spring. They grow leaves during the rainy season. In early summer, their leaves will die back and the bulbs will go dormant. Most sources I've read say not to water them once they've gone dormant, but a few say it's okay to give them a little water now and then. In late summer or fall, they will send up flower stalks with the flowers as you described. Leaves will reappear shortly after they are done flowering.
They do also grow offsets, so having them in a large container will give them room for this.
Hope this helps.

Multiple representations for systems of linear equations via the computer algebra system Maple
Mallet, Daniel G. (2007) Multiple representations for systems of linear equations via the computer algebra system Maple. International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2(1), pp. 16-32.
A number of different representational methods exist for presenting the theory of linear equations and associated solution spaces. Discussed in this paper are the findings of a case study where first year undergraduate students were exposed to a new (to the department) method of teaching linear systems which used visual, algebraic and data-based representations constructed using the computer algebra system Maple. Positive and negative impacts on the students are discussed as they apply to representational translation and perceived learning.

Pundits, politicians and political junkies of all stripes are still poring over the details of the 2008 election and are likely to do so for decades given the historic nature of Barack Obama's election win over John McCain.
The University of Delaware, however, offers a unique take on the proceedings: A first-ever joint appearance by top Obama and McCain political strategists, David Plouffe and Steve Schmidt.
Plouffe is given much credit in particular for Obama's win over the once-favored Hillary Rodham Clinton in the Democratic nomination battle. His strategy included fielding delegates in smaller, little-noticed Democratic caucuses and primaries.
Schmidt, who took command of McCain's sagging operation in midsummer, guided the Arizona senator to a campaign lead shortly after his Republican nomination acceptance speech in early September. Then came the economic crisis; McCain fell behind and never recovered. In recent days, Schmidt has garnered attention for saying the Republican Party should be tolerant of gays and gay marriage.
Their "public conversation" takes place at 4 p.m. Thursday at the University of Delaware in Newark. So how did the University of Delaware land these two on the same stage? Simple. Both attended the school. One other thing they have in common? Neither graduated.
David's journalism career spans three decades, including coverage of five presidential elections, the Oklahoma City bombing, the 2000 Florida presidential recount and the 9/11 terrorist attacks. He has covered the White House for USA TODAY since 2005. His interests include history, politics, books, movies and college football -- not necessarily in that order. More about David

Dr. Gytt Gives Me Financial Advice
After years of substandard physical therapy at the warehouse, I enrolled in an outpatient program at the downtown rehab hospital where I did time immediately after my stroke. I remembered them treating me like a retarded gerbil; but after spending years at the warehouse, I'd physically progressed to the extent that maybe they'd take me seriously (like they should have done from the get-go). I had to admit that the majority of therapists at the rehab hospital were intelligent, well-trained, and personable. Plus it was the only available game in town.
Twice a week, a cripplevan picked me up at the warehouse and lugged my ass to the rehab hospital. The charge nurse had reserved a ride for me every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon; for the most part, a different driver arrived each time. I looked forward not only to amassing long-term skills but also to the break in my daily routine. At the warehouse I dealt with a mostly disingenuous dirt-stupid staff. I'd be a lying cuss if I claimed that I didn't welcome interaction with friendly and quick-witted young women.
Arrangements for me to return to the warehouse after my therapy sessions weren't nearly as dependable. I soon discovered that I had to phone the cripplevan company midway through every session to remind them of my reserved ride; I routinely had to spend about two hours waiting for my ride in the downstairs lobby, where damaged gangstuhs hit on the receptionist corralled by a station centered in the lobby.
The paratransit dispatcher often assigned my return trip to the same driver for weeks on end. Most cripplevan drivers are dump trucks of failure who delude themselves that they're "medical professionals" whose time is at a premium. They—or more likely the dispatcher—harbored no regard for a cripplevan's "cargo" and thought nothing of consolidating trips: There might be two or three people in the van when it arrived at the rehab hospital; the driver might make a couple more stops to collect passengers after picking me up, before heading north. The paratransit company rarely provided a vehicle large enough to accommodate the number of passengers. Sometimes an unbelievable reek hung in the air, proof that some caregivers were more concerned that their charges participate in scheduled singalongs and Bingo games than use soap. The warehouse was located on the far north side of the city, so mine was usually the last stop.
I worked with a skilled and genuinely amicable therapist. Her sometimes vaguely patronizing assistant also knew her onions. When only a few weeks remained in the program, my therapist arranged for some high-ranking rehabilitation doctor to evaluate me.
On the appointed day, she led me from the spacious rehab room to a stereotypical examination room. After a few minutes, a horse-toothed woman in her mid-thirties breezed in followed by several schlubs wearing lab coats. She offered plastic cheerfulness along with her hand, smiled and introduced herself as Dr. Gytt. The guys behind her remained silent; Dr. Gytt didn't acknowledge their presence.
Dr. Gytt grilled me (e.g. "What do you hope to accomplish?") while the members of her entourage listened intently and took notes. Then she regarded my therapist and asked about my progress. I felt like a grade-schooler eavesdropping on a parent-teacher conference.
After listening to my therapist, Dr. Gytt turned back to me: "Well, I think you're just spinning your wheels in the nursing home."
I agreed. I explained that accessibility and finances were issues, so I had no choice but remain tangled in the red tape of a clueless system stuck in the dark ages. I pointed out that people you'd expect to know better allow themselves to become sputtering emotional retards or grinning automatons when confronted by a person using a wheelchair.
I don't think she listened. She smiled and continued: "I can understand that you're scared. You should probably get into a group home so they can cook your meals, do your laundry, make sure you take your meds…"
I informed Dr. Gytt that I hadn't taken meds in years, and that I'd displayed my ability to do laundry years ago in occupational therapy and, jumpin' Jesus Christ Almighty hadn't she ever heard of a microwave?
Dr. Gytt started as soon as I stopped: "…And you can socialize with people your own age…"
I mentioned that I wanted people to leave me alone already.
"…And have people around who'll handle your money for you."
At the time, I successfully managed a checking account and a savings account. Given that I'd helmed varies guises of the former for fifteen years and the latter for twenty-nine years, maintaining those accounts had become effortless.
Dr. Gytt's enthusiastic delivery of the final selling point convinced me that her head was entrenched in her ass. I unceremoniously wheeled out of the room and toward the lobby without listening to any more of her spew. A member of her entourage meekly held the door for me.
The rehab hospital's self-congratulatory website claims their physicians help patients achieve the highest level of independence possible.

Just to press my point about the numerous consulting reports and studies that came out – and continuously coming out – with most of them positive about not only the promise of green jobs and higher green investments but expectations of rising interests in green products amid the current economy.
I think being gushy and optimistic is good. A lot of green growth outlook sees beyond 2010 so they tend to downplay expected flat or declining results for this year. However, we do have to be wary about ambiguous reporting which is definitely a greenwashing method in my opinion.

Web Store - Advanced Search
Use one or more keywords to find all maps that contain that keyword. If you wish, focus your search further by selecting choices from Region, Theme, Scale, Series, or Format. Each of those choices will limit the results you get. For example, enter "Minnesota" as a keyword to find all maps that show Minnesota. Entering "Minneapolis Minnesota" as keywords to find all maps that show both Minneapolis AND Minnesota. Our search engine assumes an "AND" between each keyword.
Example one:
keyword = Minnesota
(This search results in all maps that contain Minnesota as a keyword.)
Example two:
keyword = Minneapolis Minnesota
(This search results in only those maps that contain both Minneapolis AND Minnesota as keywords.)
If you don't get any results, you probably have selected a combination of choices that don't match any map we have in our stock. Search again using fewer choices.
Tip: The Advanced Search can be useful by just selecting from one of the menus, leaving the keyword box empty!
