|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Why are you changing the springs? Are they damaged? That's the only reason you would need to change them as springs do not wear out. That said, if all you need are shocks/struts there a a number of vendors on this site that sell a brand new "set" (all four) of SVT original equipment shocks for less than $200.00. The SVT springs have a higher spring rate (stiffer) and are shorter than springs used on other Foci. For that reason you don't want to switch the springs out unless they are damaged. Do not use a regular Focus or replacement shock like the Monoe or KYB as they are designed for the longer softer springs that come on the non SVT cars. The stock SVT shock has proven itself to be of good quality and would be an excellent replacement shock as well.
Since the SVT parts are a direct bolt on to a regular 00-05 focus, shouldn't be an issue to go back an bolt the regular focus parts on an SVT. Though you may be disappointed w/ the handling.
Though bottom line the SVT kit from ford racing is a good kit. Maybe compare an itemized part list of everything the dealer is recommending vs. what comes in the FR kit??
SVT Suspension Confusion
NTB replaced the front & rear struts/springs on my 2002 SVT Focus with KYB GR2 parts . I thought they were re-installing OEM parts & did not realize until I went out to the garage halfway through the installation & saw the boxes on the floor that they were not. When I asked why, they told me the parts they were installing were superior in quality to MacPherson. I didn't really believe that, but since the job was in already progress I decided to just go with it - figuring that the new parts would be better than the old, worn out ones that were causing my tire treads to cup & other issues related to worn out suspension. Figured since I am not currently AXing or doing any track driving that just regular vs SVT suspension would be ok. But on Monday I looked on the KTB website & saw that their recommended application for these products EXLUDES the SVT Focus! I called to make sure & KTB confirmed & told me that the parts NTB installed do need to be replaced. So...the mgr at NTB is telling me that his rep at Monroe has parts for SVT Focus(?) & he is waiting on a call back from him & that they will order correct parts & switch out. In the meantime, I am looking online & see the SVT Suspension Kit is advertised as "original parts installed on SVT Focus". I called the local FordRacing dealer & told him I did not really need the whole kit - just the struts & springs so he takes my VIN # & comes back with a quote of $105.68 per wheel front & $102.30 p/w rear - $416 total. The whole SVT Suspension Kit retails for $305 total on FORDRacing! I asked him why the individual parts cost more than the whole kit & he could not tell me. I don't know who or what to believe at this point. I would think that the parts that match up to my VIN# are best bet for true OEM? Is there reason to question to quality of the parts in SVT Suspension Kit - are they really OEM for SVTs? Anyone ever heard of SVT Suspension Parts by Monroe? When I called Monroe, they told me they did not have any for SVT & their only recommendation was to go to the Ford dealer for parts. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Thank you.

- - Rifle Help for Next Year (http://www.deerhuntersclub.com/forums/rifle-hunting/14266-rifle-help-next-year.html)
Rifle Help for Next Year
Currently I hunt with a Mosin Nagant (which I love). My first rifle was a winchester, which was sold after I had been out of hunting for a while. I wanted to get back in for cheap, thus the mosin, which I will be using again this year.
I'd like to get around to having a full on deer rifle though, not something that's just been modded to fit my budget like my mosin scout setup currently is so I need some suggestions. I still want a reasonable budget so here are the three options I've come up with so far.
Fully mod a mosin into a custom sporter. I could get a stock off boyds for $100, a new scope and mount, bent bolt and have a gun smith work the whole thing. I'm a fan of this idea, problem being i'm not sure if it would really turn out okay because mosin's werent designed to be hunting rifles, and therefore mods are always 50/50 on working.
Otherwise I'm debating getting a Winchester Model 70 or a Savage 10/110 trophy package (over $100 cheaper and includes the scope). Just not sure on the performance of the savage compared to the legendary reputation of a model 70.
I am a huge fan of the Winchester M70 and just purchased a new one to give as a gift to a deserving service member on a "Wounded Warrior" hunt. Though Savage rifles definitely have their loyal fans, The difference in quality between a Savage bolt gun and Winchester M70 is considerable, having personally owed both rifles. As far as getting a "package" rifle with scope included, many times the scopes included in such a package deal are not of very good quality. They may last a few years, they may puke in short order, who knows.
Our gifted rifle now wears a Leupold VX2 as part of our gift, but you don't necessarily need to go that high $$ to get a decent quality scope. I have owned and still own a large number of scopes made by Bushnell, Burris, Leupold, Minox, Nikon, Pentax, Redfield and Zeiss to name a few. I think dependable quality glass starts with something like a Nikon Prostaff, which can be purchased now for around $130. for a nice 2-7x32 model. Other very nice scopes that go for $200 or less include Redfield Revolution, Burris FFII and Leupold VX1. High magnification is not always helpful in big game hunting and a 2-7x32 or 3-9x40 is as high a magnification as you are likely to ever need.
Good luck with whatever you decide on!
Cruise the gunshows for used or choose entry level
Turner covered entry level scopes real well. I agree completely with his thoughts 150-200 will get you quality in a scope. Rifles are somewhat like cars in that they lose value after they are carried out the door of a gunshop. The used ones at a gunshow may have had almost no rounds fired through them. Be careful of sellers charging the same price as new for one that isn't. I am an admitted rifle snob I like quality ones and have never myself bought an entry level one. I have suggested several people buy entry level Marlins (XL7) in 30-06. At 300.xx these were not expensive but performed very well when I sighted them in. Would I choose them over a 800.xx rifle no, but they cost 300.xx. If I only had 300.xx to spend on a rifle that is what I would buy. I have handled the new Ruger American bolt rifle, it has a price point on sale around 350.xx. If I was recommending an entry level today I would have the person compare the Ruger and the Marlin side by side and pick the one that fits them the best.
HuntingMan has pointed out several times that a person can buy a 700-800 dollar rifle at a gunshow for hundreds off and it may already have a good quality scope mounted on it.
Let us know what you decide, I personally wouldn't touch the Moisin, start over with a dedicated hunting rifle...
I'm fine with getting a used one so long as it doesnt look beat to crap, although i wouldnt mind new (for the simple sake that this will buy lasting me a long time). I did look at the Ruger American yesterday because the price is so amazing but I'm pretty sure I'm going to try to get a Savage 10 in 308 if i can ever find a gunshop with the wood stock in stock. Nikon scope and gun for around $550 synthetic is really hard to beat.
The Winchester mod. 70 is a fine rifle and has proved its self. The ruger M77 is a nice rifle also the new savage rifles or nice also. Don't forget about the ruger all American and the marlin X7 models. Also for optics you can spend over a grand on scopes. I had a Leupold on a rifle and sold it and went to Nikon. lot less money and could not tell the difference. Nikon prostaff 3x9x40. Also don't forget scope mounts. spend the extra money and get the DNZ dead nuts scope mount. well worth the money. I hunted with my old pre 64 win. 30/30 for a few years and saved up some money and kept my eyes open for a good deal. I picked up a browning Abolt in 270 with Nikon scope and DNZ mounts for $350 from a guy that needed cash. Nothing wrong with getting a used rifle if its an up grade.
Take a look at the Ruger American also
Very nice reasonable priced rifle
As the OP only mentioned looking & thinking about two rifles, my comments were originally confined to those two models. I own a good number of rifles (feel free to look at my "Albums" and see some of them). If you want to consider additional rifle models, I'd look at the Ruger M77 (perhaps the finest scope mounting system of any rifle), the Remington Model Seven and Remington M700 on the used market.
We recently purchased a new Ruger American Compact rifle in .243 for a new hunter in our family to start out with. Decent rifle for entry level and very good accuracy as well. However, there is simply way too many synthetic parts involved in building the rifle. I am a fan of metal & wood for my rifles. Rifles made of these traditional materials have stood the test of time for many (hundreds!) years. Some of the new "entry level" rifles are only around as specific models for a couple years. Look at what Remington has produced in just the last 5 years: Model 710, Model 770 and now the Model 783. How easy do you think it will be to find another detachable magazine for a discontinued model 10 years from now when the cheap plastic construction fails?
Just a couple of thoughts to keep in mind as you consider buying a rifle to last you for many years. Buying a higher quality new or used rifle now, may well save you a lot of $$ in the long run. I routinely hunt today with rifles that are 30, 40 and even 50+ years old. Not a plastic part or stock to be found on any of them.
yup. there are a ton of high quality used rifles that a person should look at prior to spending big dollars on some of the new junk being sold out there. I am a fan of the Remington 700 Mountain rifles. The 700 action has been the backbone of the military snipers and that says enough. After Winchester cheapened up the model 70's I lost faith in them, then lately Remington has gone even worse with the models Turner stated above. I have only had 1 experience with a fairly new Ruger 77 in 270 win, and it was a disaster on the accuracy end of things. I know many here like the Ruger line up, I'm not overly impressed. Having said all this, most of today's rifles will shoot better than most average hunters are capable of. I too enjoy hunting with the old stuff, beautiful wood, reasonably accurate, sweet shooting, firearms of yesteryear. Classic firearms become more appreciated as time passes and people find out how impressively they were built. Now if I just had the money to get a 1970 GTO Judge..............
I'm very much a fan of the classics, however most of the ones i find for fair prices tend to be well worn. I'm basically settled on a Savage 110 in .308 with the accutrigger. I like the safety feature (similar to my XD pistol) and the price is almost impossible to beat. $490 brand new with a nikon scope (although i'll be buying a leupold vx-2). Unless of course i find a classic Remington 700 sometime soon (purchase will probably be made around january). I will keep my eyes open to your guys suggestions though, just with what i've found out there i'm pretty set on the savage 110.

Featuring Fred, She Said!
Yesterday Tracey-Lynn from Fred, She Said Digital Designs challenged us to use ribbon in some way.
I'm using really tiny ribbon here.....old embroidery floss!! It is some off brand that never made it in my DMC floss boxes....and now it's been put to use on my card! I'm not sure of the company who makes the heart stamp, I believe they are out of business...but I found this image in my stash and felt like playing with it! I also used real hand stitching on the top and bottom of the card...love it! Happy Valentine's Day is from The Rubber Cafe, I love the font! The reason I used the heart image on the front of the card is because it resembles a box of fancy chocolates!!
...and these are some of the new pre-colored digital images from Fred, She Said Designs called Better Than Chocolate! This one just makes me laugh! The card looks so sweet...and then you open it up and it's really a bit sassy!

2. Julie Okada
3. Danni Reid
4. Kim Gruetzmacher
5. Trudy Sjolander
6. Julie Glasgow
Looking forward to a great term and working with Barb and these talented ladies!!
I recently posted a set of cards that I made using American Craft's Letterbox Collection. That set has been sold and I've been asked to add to it....so here are the three cards that I made to complete the set!
This first card uses some of the label shapes off of the Sincerely sheet. The minute I saw the blue tag, I thought of a cloud...and how perfect that the provided me with a round green tag for my *tree!* I hand cut the tree trunk and then needed some birds for my tree. The are cut out from the See You sheet and are already glittered! Relax is a Flair Adhesive Badge which adds a fun punch to the card.
Get well soon features a pink label that I cut out of the Sincerely sheet. I cut the blue flower out of the Faithfully sheet. Background paper is Greetings. Feel Better Soon is from Note Flair. This collection is so fun to mix and match and the scale of the designs make it perfect for cardmaking!!
Miss you features a journaling sticker from American Crafts that I re-purposed for a design element. Again I used a label cut from the Sincerely sheet and a Flair Adhesive Badge. Background paper is Respectfully.

Ellie meets Sketch and Stash!
I used Ellie the Elephant from Stamp Shoppe Creations, and the *leaves* for my flowers are actually the tree fronds from Martin Monkey. I colored the image with Copic Markers.
The designer paper is by Fiskars and the images are new to me, both from The Stamp Shoppe!
Hippity Hoppity!
Flowers: Imaginice
Embossing Folder: Sizzix
Cardstock: SU!
Designer Paper: unknown
I'd Be Dragon Without You!
A fun thing I did on the Cuttlebugged background was to sand it, so it was white, and then I ran a brown ink pad over the sanded areas...this give it a slightly fuzzy corduroy look!

LOVE - Digital Tuesday Challenge 43!
For this card I changed the layers around...I needed the long rectangle to be on top since I wanted to play with this fun flower image!! I colored the image with Copic markers and Spica glitter pens. Love the EK Success border punch, it's so lacey and fun!
Designer paper is from BoBunny.

Just My Type
Oooh, I just love the Just My Type set from The Rubber Cafe! I was blog hopping yesterday and came across a pink typewriter.....how cool would that be?! I think I'd just have to have it for decoration!!! There was a pink sewing machine too!
I colored my typewriter with copic markers, spica glitter pens and Deco Pink and White Prismacolor Pencils. I used all of the type-written sentiments in the set as a background stamp....how cool is that?!
This is definately a new favorite stamp set....perfect for any occasion. I can see it as a masculine birthday card too....when I'm not in a pink mood!!
If you are here for the Fred She Said Blog Hop....hop THIS WAY!

Digital Tuesday Challenge 41 -
My card uses leaves from Fred, She Said's Fred's Flowers v6 Daisies set that I printed on pink designer paper. I cut six of them out and reassembled them as a flower base for my snowflake *blossom!* I folded each leaf down the center to give the flower some dimension and then attached some layered Nestablilites Snowflake dies that I cut from some shimmery white cardstock. The swirlys under the blossom are cut from Sizzix's Flower & Vines #2 die.
The glittery heart border is called Heart Attack and is by WeR Memory Keepers. I layered that over a panel that I embossed with a new to me Sizzix embossing folder that I picked up this summer. A Making Memories decorative brad finishes off my frosty blossom!
Thanks for stopping by!

My husband got a new job last fall (thank God!) but despite the increase in pay and the better working conditions, their health plan is through BCBS. I am grateful to have health insurance, but when it comes to pregnancy, they are horrible.
My other two children were born in free standing birth centers with midwives. The labors went quickly (9 hrs for the first, 11 hrs for the 2nd) and both baby's were nearly 10lb (9lb 12oz and 9lb 15oz). My 2nd child was born in the water in full squat and despite her size, I didn't tear one bit! I highly doubt that would have happened lying flat on my back in a bed.
So the problem is that there is only 1 birth center in the entire state of NC that is in-network with BCBS, and that birth center is 2 hours from me. I don't really want to drive that far for all of my prenatal appts, much less labor! With my other insurance company, all I had to tell them was that they cover birth centers, but there are none in my area that are in-network so they granted an exception and paid the birth center at my in-network rates.
BCBS will not do this. They say that there are hospitals nearby who are in-network and can provide the "same" service, so I should go there. This is not the case. No hospital in my area will provide the same kind of care that the birth center does. I have tried to explain this to them, my midwife has to, but they are sticking to their guns and I feel like I'm being bullied into a hospital birth. I'm not a newbie to this. I know how my body births and how it works best in labor, and that is in the relaxed atmosphere of a birth center where I can get in and out of the water, delivering in the water if I want to.
So, with all of this information, I'm endeavoring to get the policy at BCBS changed. I created a petition and I'm asking you ladies to sign it. It doesn't matter if you agree with birthing in a birth center or not, the point is that a woman should have the freedom to experience the intimate moment of childbirth where she is most comfortable. My state already outlaws homebirth, and now BCBS is trying to tell me I can't go to a birth center either. This isn't right. Please sign my petition and forward it to friends and family that you think might sign it. Together, we can get this policy changed, not just for me, but for other women with BCBS coverage!
By the way, each time someone "signs" the petition, I have it set up so that the CEO, VP, Exec VP, Chief Medical Officer and Media contact all get emailed :-). I want them to be bombarded!
The link wasn't working, I fixed it now if anyone would like to sign. I really appreciate it!

Letter to the Editor: Do nesting eagles offer message for human?
The news was dismal … report after report of depressing developments, day after day.
And then:
A pair of eagles built a nest high on a hill overlooking the Monongahela. It was reported that the Daddy eagle flew into the nest and dropped a small fish, which the Mama eagle picked up and flew off with — whereupon Daddy took his place on the nest. What a beautiful little episode.
Is there message here? They showed us how it's done. God love these beautiful little creatures.
Ralph J. Miller, M.D.

The Furman Public Policy Scholarship Program is an innovative and experience-based program designed to train and support top students who are interested in pursuing careers in the public policy sector. The program emphasizes individualized academic planning and advising. Faculty and administration work closely with students to secure placements for their 1L and 2L summers, giving students the opportunity to engage in public policy issues at local, state, national, and international levels. Students also receive support in securing their post-graduate career placement, and each scholar is paired with a faculty mentor.
Scholars will be expected to participate in regular public-policy oriented discussion sessions during the year and also in a half-semester seminar focused on transforming policy proposals into shorter works (such as op-eds) that are geared towards policymakers, thought leaders, and the press. Scholars are also guaranteed placement in the Legislative and Regulatory Process Clinic in DC during their 3L year.
Key Features of the Program
- 1L summer: Furman Public Policy Scholars will have NYU Law School-funded public policy internships.
- Special 2L seminar: The second year features a seminar designed to teach students how to think and write like policy makers. The seminar is a year-long intensive writing seminar exploring the economic, philosophical, and political considerations relevant when designing social policies implemented, in whole or in part, through the federal tax and transfer systems.
- 3L semester in DC: All Furman Public Policy Scholars have the opportunity to spend a semester of their third year in Washington, DC, either in NYU Law's new Legislative and Regulatory Process Clinic, co-taught by Robert Bauer and Sally Katzen, or in another governmental capacity. For certain students, the 3L semester may be an opportunity to work on a political campaign or initiative, with faculty supervision.
- All scholars are required to complete at least two different public policy engagements during their time at NYU (at the local, national, or international level, and in the executive or legislative branch).
Focus on Advising
The program emphasizes individualized academic planning and advising. Each scholar works closely with a faculty adviser in his or her specific policy field. These advisers review and approve the scholars' academic plans, and assist scholars with their internship plans.
Career Advancement and Mentorship
Faculty and administration work closely with students to secure placements for their 1L and 2L summers, giving students the opportunity to engage in public policy issues at local, state, national, and international levels. Students also receive support in securing their post-graduate career placement, and each scholar is paired with a public policy alumnus for a formal mentorship.
Criteria for Selection
- Academic excellence;
- Commitment to public policy work (shown through previous work history, campus activism, related internships, relevant research or thesis topics, and through the required application essay);
- Demonstrated leadership ability;
- Diversity of public policy interests and background experience and knowledge.
Application Instructions
As an applicant for the Furman Public Policy Scholarship, you should complete your JD application by January 1, 2018 and you should have a complete CAS report ready to be requested by our office no later than January 1, 2018. You are required to submit with the JD application an additional essay (no more than 500 words) that describes your interest in public policy, and what specific public policy areas you wish to pursue with your law school training. You are also required to submit a recommendation letter that speaks to your interest or experience in public policy.
If you would like more information about the program or have general questions regarding the application process, please contact Kathleen Neilson at the Public Interest Law Center.

IRVINE, Calif. --- Brian Hernandez escaped a bases-loaded jam in the top of the ninth to preserve a 9-6 Anteater win over Cal State Northridge Friday to open Big West Conference action at Cicerone Field at Anteater Ballpark. With the win UCI improves to 16-6 overall (1-0 Big West) while the Matadors fall to 14-12 on the season (0-1 Big West).
Hernandez, who was 2 for 5 at the plate, took over for reliever Jimmy Litchfield in the CSUN ninth. Hernandez registered the first out but then issued back-to-back walks before designated hitter Marty Bowen would eke out an infield single to load the bases. Hernandez battled, striking out Adam Barry before Justin DeMarco hit a come-backer to Hernandez, who recorded his fifth save of the season.
UCI starter Matt Summers pitched 6.1 innings, striking out two while giving up three runs on five hits to improve to 3-2. Summers held the Matadors scoreless through the first four innings but CSUN came up with a single and consecutive walks to load the bases in the fifth for Steven Keller, who hit a two-run single up the middle.
The Anteaters responded, scoring six runs in the bottom of the inning. Jordan Fox sparked the rally with a hit that glanced off the glove of starter Justen Gorski for an infield single. Hernandez slapped a hit to right and Jordan Leyland followed with a one-out single to center, driving in Fox. Sean Madigan tied the game with his second hit of the ninth to score Hernandez from second base before Shaeffer gave UCI the lead with a two-run double down the left-field line. Christian Ramirez continued the inning with a run-scoring triple and Tommy Reyes executed the sacrifice on the squeeze play, giving UCI a 6-2 lead.
Drew Muren cut UCI's lead in half at 6-3 with a hit through the right side to capitalize on Barry's double but Summers struck out Kyle Attl to leave Muren stranded. Summers struck out the first Matador batter in the seventh and walked Ridge Carpenter before handing the ball off to Litchfield.
The Anteaters tacked on a run in the seventh as Shaeffer scored on a wild pitch by reliever Ryan Juarez but the Matadors would not go away as Muren hit a three-run home run in the top of the eighth to close the gap to one at 7-6.
Consecutive errors by CSUN in the bottom of the eighth would prove costly. Fox worked a base on balls to lead off the inning and a fielding error put Anteater runners on first and second for Drew Hillman. Hillman's sacrifice bunt was picked up by Juarez but his errant throw to first allowed Fox to score before Madigan delivered again with a one-out hit to left to plate Hernandez, giving UCI the three-run lead.
Madigan drove in two runs while hitting 3 for 5 with a run scored. Ramirez was perfect at the plate, going 4 for 4 with an RBI while Ronnie Shaeffer drove in a pair of runs on two hits while scoring twice.

Imagine America Foundation Honors Alfredo Rosado with LDRSHIP Award
Washington, D.C. (July 28, 2010) – It's not everyday you come across a student as accomplished as Alfredo Rosado. After serving our country in the United States Marine Corps, he is now pursuing a bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice at Westwood College in Chicago, Ill. Rosado is also a recipient of the 2010 Imagine America Foundation LDRSHIP Award.
Rosado received the LDRSHIP Award among six other accomplished individuals. The Imagine America Foundation gives this award annually to recognize those who have served our country and are now pursuing an education at a career college. The cash grant of up to $5,000 will help Rosado complete his current education at Westwood College. Rosado is exemplary of each trait the LDRSHIP Award stands for: Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity and Personal Courage. While he served in the United States Marine Corps, he earned several honors such as the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal, Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal, and Iraq Campaign Medal. His accomplishments have carried over into his education as he has maintained a 4.0 GPA and a near-perfect attendance record.
"Alfredo had an exemplary service record in the Marine Corps and his accomplishments are evidence of his willingness to go above and beyond what was expected," said Alan Stutts, Executive Director of Westwood College-Chicago. "He has continued to demonstrate his commitment to giving extra energy and effort in his educational accomplishments at Westwood College."
The Imagine America Foundation honored its 2010 LDRSHIP Award recipients during an awards luncheon at the annual Career College Association (CCA) Convention and Exposition in Las Vegas on June 10. The LDRSHIP Award is sponsored by Ambassador College Bookstores, Blackboard Pro Ed, and supporters of the Imagine America Foundation's 21st Century Workforce Fund.
Imagine America Foundation Introduces Online Journal
Washington, D.C. (July 28, 2010) – The Imagine America Foundation has partnered with Career Education Corporation (CEC) to develop a new online, peer-reviewed publication, entitled Instructional Practice in Higher Education: an Online Journal.
Faculty from traditional institutions of higher education enjoy an abundance of opportunities to publish their research; career educators now have similar means to share scholarship and best practices. The Online Journal is intended to address the apparent absence of opportunities for faculty and staff of career education postsecondary institutions to share the product of their scholarship with each other and with the broader higher education community.
Imagine America Foundation Announces 2010 Gail Benjamin LDRSHIP Recipients
Washington, D.C. (July 20, 2010) – Gail Benjamin was a determined advocate for career education whose actions warranted special recognition. In 2006, the Imagine America Foundation established The Gail Benjamin Fellowship to offer grants to send career college employees to the Career College Association (CCA) Leadership Institute. This year, the Fellowship has announced two recipients of the 2010 grant: Heather Haskell, of The Refrigeration School in Phoenix, Ariz. and Kimberly Ranft, of Concorde Career Institute in Arlington, Texas.
Gail Benjamin strongly believed in the obligation of each generation to assist the following generation in fulfilling their educational and career goals. Both The Fellowship and the Imagine America Foundation have realized the need for women and minorities to pursue senior and executive positions in the career education field. Named in her honor, The Fellowship is now helping Benjamin's legacy live on through the efforts of today's emerging career college leaders.
The Gail Benjamin Fellowship is sponsored by The Gail L. and Arthur E. Benjamin Foundation (GLAEB). The nominees must be female or a minority, have a minimum of 3 years of work at their current college, demonstrate financial need, demonstrate high potential and commitment in the career education field and demonstrate volunteer service involvement through their career college or community.
"By awarding this grant to deserving individuals, we are helping them to excel in their careers so that they can in turn offer their expertise and talents to the career college field," said Arthur Benjamin, Vice Chair & CEO of ATI Schools & Colleges and founder of the GLAEB. "This is best way to carry on Gail's legacy and all that she believed in."

LeBron 9 PS Elite
Pros: Quality materials, excellent cushion & lockdown
Cons: Not really built for small guards
This is a nice, quality shoe that is viable for a wide range of players/play styles. There were a lot of things I liked about the shoe (cushioning, lockdown, materials), but it's not my "go to" and I have other shoes that better fit my play style. I'm a pretty small guard (5'7" 150) and these didn't have the type of flexibility that I like in the forefoot. They were actually a bit more flexible than I thought they were going to be and they broke in a bit after a few wears. This probably isn't an issue for bigger players or guys that put a lot more force on the forefoot. I did really like this shoe, but it just wasn't a great choice for me.

Ge and Frigidare are both pretty good brands, Aman too. I have a Samsung that is a cery good unit but they are very expensive. LG is also another expensive but good brans as well.
If you just want a good cheap dependable frig, get a Frigidare, or GE.
But head the previous advice before you but a new unit and clean out the condensor coils which are probably underneath the frig, and make sure the cooling fan is running smoothly and doesn't have dust bunny's hanging all over the fan blades. Lots of dirt will prevent your frig from running efficiently, and eventually choke the refrigeration system to where the compressor will kick out on overload safety, and you will hear a clunk. When the safety resets, it will restart.
So do check underneath, clean it out, and try it before you buy a new unit!

We just bought an upright freezer and went out of our way NOT to buy one with an Energy Star rating. IMO the compressors are too small. They are smaller in order to get the rating, have to work harder, and fail sooner.
I sure hope our freezer lasts more than seven years. We love it.
Good luck with your search. It's a confusing world out there when it comes to appliance shopping these days.03-01-2012, 10:47 AM #18

Our fridge was making a funny noise and seemed to be running a lot (to me). Hubby cleaned it and the noise stopped and it is running perfectly now. I put my thermometer in the fridge and freezer sections to make sure it was cooling properly.Sponsored Links Remove Advertisements03-01-2012, 11:34 AM #19

Forgot to mention, when you measure a new one to see if it fits, check the door swing and measure it with the door open. Our side by side needs about three inches more on each side for the doors to swing open, than the width of the fridge closed. And if it's too close to the wall and the doors can't swing back far enough, we can't get the ice maker in and out or any other large item such as the produce drawer, because the door won't open wide enough.
We've had that fridge in four different houses and in two of them we've had to remove extra cabinets to make the fridge fit and assure room for the doors to swing. The other two, the fridge area wasn't near any cabinets.03-01-2012, 08:29 PM #20

Check around your area for a dent and scratch store....if the scratch is against a wall, it won't matter. I couldn't find what I wanted at scrath and dent so we went to Sears & got one with a slide out freezer drawer on bottom with refrig double doors on top...I LOVE it....lots of room on door shelves for milk and juice & large platters and bowls fit on shelves with no problem. I absoute HATE those side by side that was so popular years ago....03-01-2012, 09:35 PM #21

We love our 1988 side by side. It's huge. We had eight kids at the time we bought it. I didn't even bother to shop around. I just went to the nearest appliance store and told them to give me the biggest one on the market, and they did. It's been a good fridge and we've never had problems putting large things in it.
My mom had a smaller one and I agree, it does make a person crazy when things don't fit in.03-10-2012, 11:45 AM #22

DH and I went out yesterday and scoured at least four or five stores before we stopped into Sears Home. I was a little apprehensive about it because Sears has always been known for having higher prices than other stores.
But we struck gold!
We found a unit that measured the right amount with a bottom-mount freezer in it. It was on clearance for $699 and I love it!
We're having it delivered next week.
We did check out one of the used and refurbished stores and weren't impressed enough with their lack of warranty to get one from there. We even checked the BBB and there was nothing about them in there. I scoured Kijiji and couldn't find one that we liked enough or trusted enough invest the money in.
The fridge we have now has had more than one problem other than the motor issue. The freezer's seal doesn't seal properly and I've lost a lot of meat and frozen items to it. The bottom leaks all over the place as well and it's just been a big mess.03-11-2012, 11:49 AM #23

We've always liked Sears appliances, although like everything else I do think the quality has taken a nosedive over the past thirty years.03-31-2012, 06:42 AM #24

It's Time For Some Thanksgiving
(to the tune of "The Times, They Are A-Changin'" by Bob Dylan)
Come gather 'round family
Friends, countrymen
And submit to the turkey
Thick with tryptophan
And accept it that soon
You'll be asleep in the den.
Hurry, they'll be nothin'
Worth savin'
So you better start eatin'
Like a pig in a pen
'Cause it's time for some Thanksgiving.
Come cousins and uncles
Dig in, don't be shy
There's stuffing and taters
And sweet turkey thigh
And don't leave too soon
For you'll miss all the pie
And I'm not listenin'
To any complainin'
So loosen your pants
And maybe your tie
'Cause it's time for some Thanksgiving.
Come brothers and sisters
Bring all your spawn
Emma, Jack, Sarah
Jake, Jalen, and Shaun.
I need someone here
To occupy Mom.
Dr. Phil said it
Would help me stop ragin'.
So clean up their faces
Hurry up and come on
'Cause it's time for some Thanksgiving.
Come mothers and fathers
From Jersey and Maine
California and Texas
And West Pennsylvain-
Your sons and your daughters
Are awaiting your train
Since your car
Has started breakin'
Please buy a new one
Or next time take a plane
'Cause it's time for some Thanksgiving.
The corn it is boiled
The bird it is roast
And after the dishes
I'm officially toast.
Next year, please
Someone else be the host
Cause my patience is
Rapidly fadin'.
Who am I kidding?
It's my command post.
'See you next year for some Thanksgiving.

I don't think you can get a great deal on escalade's like you could couple years ago due to limited production of 2013's,
Since the production is limited they don't have to give much incentives,
You probably could get $7-8k off on a new one now
Maybe $10k off on platinum.

Re: Deals on 2013 or 2014?
I know mine isn't a 2013 but when I bought mine (first week of November 2010) I got my 2010 for 13k off msrp. Think it was 54k before taxes. Brand new. They had a lot of current incentives that they didn't market. But the gm supplier discount website basically tells you every regional incentive going on. I was about to spend 50k on a used 2010 with 12k miles on it, and when November rolled around the incentive changed and offered an extra 8k over all other deals they had
Re: Deals on 2013 or 2014?

Re: Deals on 2013 or 2014?
I checked the website, and current incentives right now are 0% financing or 3k cash back on top of supplier price (another 3-5k off)
Re: Deals on 2013 or 2014?
Our dealership is advertising triple net (well below invoice and/or Preferred/Supplier) on our 2013s and 2014s, a $72,830 MSRP Luxury package Escalade will sell for $65,927 to whomever is astute enough to take advantage of the leftover deals... This includes the $3000 alternative purchase cash.

Mercury Marine adds jobs in WisconsinPosted on
Mercury Marine announced it will hire about 150 manufacturing and distribution employees in Fond du Lac, Wis.
The positions are in departments that include assembly, machining, die-cast, trim and warehousing, Gannett Wisconsin Media reported.
The jobs are available because of increased engine orders; a transfer of work from Mercury's sterndrive plant in Stillwater, Okla., to Fond du Lac; and the potential for increased demand for outboard engines.
"We remain scheduled to complete the move of all the work from Stillwater to Fond du Lac by the end of this year," company spokesman Steve Fleming told the newspaper. "The slowly recovering marine industry is leading us to add jobs and our staffing levels at the respective locations will remain flexible, depending on the current demand. We're preparing to service our customers as best we can."

That was some pretty disturbing stuff that went on in the trial yesterday to determine whether Dr. Conrad Murray was responsible for the death of Michael Jackson. After what I saw yesterday I am not sure this trial is good for anyone. What you see is a singer who is beaten down and desperately hooked on drugs. Every witness yesterday said that Michael was often incoherent and he is the one who was willing to pay $150K a month just so he could have Dr. Murray. I am guessing because Dr. Murray would give Michael the drugs he wanted. I think they are both at fault. Dr. Murray is a greedy guy who loved getting that much money for not doing much excepting feeding Michael drugs. In return he got cash and got to tell women he was Michael Jackson's doctor.

Felco Original Hand Pruner #F-2
1 Recommendation
GetGoRetro's recommendation
These classic Felco pruners set the standard by which all others are judged. The choice of landscape professionals, nursery workers, and savvy gardeners around the globe; this exceptionally well-made tool features a design that's been unchanged for more than 50 years. The anvil blade has a deep sap groove to prevent sticking. A Swiss, precision-made cutting blade with soft wire cutter is replaceable for maximum return on investment. An easily-adjusted bolt and nut allow users to customize blade alignment for more efficient operation. A rubber cushion with shock absorbers pads blades where they come together to reduce impact and strain on wrists. Strong, light, forged-aluminum alloy handles have a red, plastic coating that's molded for comfort (and makes pruners easier to spot in the garden). A non-corroding spring mechanism is covered with a metal sheath to protect from moisture. Ideal for trimming rose bushes and woody perennials, the Felco Original's smooth, soft action, ergonomic comfort, and exceptional durability put it in a class of its own. It's covered by a one-year warranty. However, with proper care, these pruners will last a lifetime

SALISBURY, Md. - The No. 4 ranked Salisbury University men's lacrosse team hosted McDaniel College on a chilly Wednesday afternoon at Sea Gull Stadium. The outcome was certainly favorable for the maroon and gold, who came away with a 12-6 victory against the Green Terror. On the season, Salisbury has outscored its opponents 54-28.
The first quarter was peppered with shots on both sides, but only three goals were scored. Salisbury (4-0) got off to a quick start as senior attackman Jake DeLillo (Yorktown Heights, N.Y.) fired a shot past McDaniel (1-1) goalkeeper Brad Motley (17 saves) just 13 seconds into the contest. The Green Terror would even up the score just over a minute later, but senior midfielder Mike Von Kamecke (Winter Park, Fla.) made the most of an extra-man opportunity with just 20 seconds left in the first quarter and scored off of a Sam Bradman (Canton, N.Y.) assist to give Salisbury a 2-1 advantage going into the second quarter.
The maroon and gold would extend their lead in the second quarter as junior midfielder Shawn Zordani (Littleton, Colo.) scored his first goal of the season to give the Sea Gulls a 3-1 edge. McDaniel would score again with 54 seconds remaining on the clock, but a rip by Bradman with just one second left in the half gave Salisbury a 4-2 lead going into the team room. Face-off specialist Ryan Finch (Finksburg, Md.) propelled Salisbury in the first half, winning the first four face-offs (11 on the day).
The Gulls opened up the third quarter in typical Salisbury lacrosse fashion, bombarding the Green Terror with a series of well-placed shots to tack onto the Sea Gull lead. Bradman would score Salisbury's next two goals, including an extra-man goal with 12 minutes left in the third quarter, to give the Gulls a 6-2 lead. Sophomore attackman Matt Pierotti (Corning, N.Y.) gave the Gulls their seventh score of the day with nine minutes left in the period; less than five minutes later he scored again, giving Salisbury a 9-2 lead. The Sea Gulls never looked back.
Salisbury outshot McDaniel 47-29 in the victory. Between the pipes, junior goalie Johnny Rodriguez (Gambrills, Md.) was only forced to make four saves thanks to Salisbury's airtight defense. Bradman, a sophomore midfielder, scored a team-high five goals on the day.
Salisbury's next game will be at on the road, against defending NCAA national champion SUNY Cortland, on March 10 at 3:30 p.m.; the contest will be played in Haverford, Pa. Following that contest the Sea Gulls will be hosting four straight home games, starting with Ohio Wesleyan on March 13. The game is set to start at 1 p.m.

Should Primer be Tinted on New Drywall?? My painter says no.
I have talked to a painter who I may use to paint my new construction home and sugested that he tint the primer to somewhat match the color of the finish coat. He said that I would be better off Not tinting the primer, and using white only. The finish color will be on the lighter, neutral side. Is he correct?
What is the best way to cover the walls in a qualty manner on a new house that I plan on living in for the next 25 years?
He plans on using Sherwin Williams products. Whish SW paints/primers would be best suited for new walls?
Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks
The correct way is one primer 2 finish coats. In a lighter color- any quality paint will cover in 2, so not needed. For deeper colors or hard to get like yellows and reds it is very important-
a regular white new drywall primer is the stuff to use. if you plan on painting a room a dark or really bright colour that is a ultra deep base paint then a tinted primer is recommended when mixing the colours at the paint store the computer will tell you if one should be used and how much tint to go in to get the best coverage possible.
yup..I just had this discussion with my SW guy. He said you tint when laying certain dark colors over light colors.
Except in certain situations, I always tint the primer toward the finish color.
In your case I would tint the primer.
I didn't like dumping too much pigment in primer. Among other things it sometimes made it difficult to see if it was a light color. I usually did about 40-50% of the finish color formula.
General rule of thumb is 50% full formula.
Oh. and if the finish coat formula calls for white tint, I exclude adding the white to the primer.
Either way is correct.
DON'T fall into the fallacy of believing that tinting a primer will "save" you a finish coat though!!!
Optically, there's no benefit to tinting a primer under lighter/MEDIUM colors....ASSUMING....that the paint is being applied correctly. Too many people push paint too far, increasing the odds of paint "holidays".
If you can afford it, stay away from low-end PVA drywall primers! Primers in the Zinsser 123 class are much better.
primer IN the paint:laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing::no:: no:
If you have a good painter lined up---let him or her decide on the methods and paints to use.
A primer has certain qualities that a finish paint does not possess---so a sererate prime coat is a pro painters first choice---
Primers are thinner that top coats--they dry more quickly--sands well-(new work will have drywall dust and other crud stuck into it)--and is flat for proper bonding of the top coat.
There is no such thing as birth control and paint in one---unless she really does not like the color or you took months to paint so she could know she really does not like the color. :no: There is no such thing as cream cheese and salmon spread and paint in one. :no: There is no such thing as mocha latte grande and paint in one unless you spilled into a 5er. There is no such thing as stainblocker, primer and paint---or even just primer and paint--- in one. :no: BEHR is behrly paint at all which is why pros do not use it. If it what it claims to be, they would be lining up like anybody else.:wink:
I was trying to be nice and not slam Behr paint---I won't touch that brand for many reasons---
I do think,if you have a good ,experience painter, that the final decision on brands of paint and methods of application be left to him or her.
You want a great paint job---dictating products and methods to the painter may ruin that---
You could loose a good craftsman that way----I walk away when a potential customer starts to tell me how to do a job and those dictated include products and methods that I won't use because I know better ones.
Not to take over his thread but I am now confused as to the purpose of primer? I thought it was to: "allows finishing paint to adhere much better than if it were used alone."
I've used both combinations, but traditional primer, usually tinted, on drywall as the OP questions stated. Just a DIYer so learning as well...
I cannot "see" anything in the Bear (sp) finish that makes it inferior? What should I be looking for? I wouldn't use it on wood or metal either.
Primers seal new drywall quickly and allow for a quick sanding before the finished paint surface--
Also the flat nature of primer makes a good surface to apply drywall compound to touch ups--a finish paint might not allow that---
Primer is usually cheaper than finish paint---Three coats of paint are always required for a top quality paint job--one to prime and seal--two top coats for even sheen---
At $30 or more for a good paint---why use it to seal the new work when a fine primer can be purchased for less.
I don't like Behr paint for two reasons--low solids count---making for poor coverage---
And An overly thick base--causing difficulty cutting---won't flow out of the brush without thinning--
and uneven rolling---won't flow out of the roller evenly--leaving thick areas that can sag and thin 'holidays' as you finish the application.
If you can get an acceptable finish with Behr---you will soar to 'expert' level finishes when you switch to a good brand.

cross drilled/slotted rotors
Just a quick question. Do cross drilled or slotted rotors on disc brakes make a difference or are they just for looks?
Thanks, u guys rock
They don't make a braking difference, but do work. They help keep the brakes cooler so they don't get spongy and overheated.
I can tell you that they made a big differance on my GS1100 Suzuki. Before I drilled the rotors the brakes were subject to severe fade if you got on them real hard for a long time.
thanks guys. i'll probably go with the drilled rotors. they look cool too, ha.
kind of a side note, but has anyone ever ordered from Classic Performance Products (CPP)?

You MUST send each of your opponents a message at the beginning of the block in order to play their CPU at any time during that block. Likewise, opponents must send you a message before they can play your CPU.
The message should include your general availability for those three days. If you do that, you should be able to get most of your games in vs. humans. If the person does not respond by the final hours of the third day, then you can play them, but only if you've previously messaged them.

Nothing tastes better than homemade butter! Enjoy this super quick and easy way to make butter at home without the mess!
Now it's time to shake, rattle, and roll! Shake the container as fast and as hard as you can! Little ones like my daughter shook until her arms got sore, then I took over. When you hear liquid making a "sloshing" sound in your jar, your cream has turned to butter!
Pour out the liquid, which is now fresh buttermilk, into a glass. You can save this and cook with it later if you'd like.
Now fill a bowl with cold water and about eight ice cubes. Plop the butter out of the jar and into the ice water bath. Time to get chilly! Massage the butter and press it together to get rid of any leftover buttermilk.

DH has a lot of synthetic fabric clothing for biking, hiking, etc. and he HATES the static. (Although he says it's bad on his cotton tee shirts too.) We live in a very dry climate, which doesn't help matters, and I just don't know what to do. I've tried adding vinegar to the rinse cycle, since I have allergies and don't want to use fabric softener. That works a little, but not good enough. Do wool dryer balls really work? I'd rather use those over the plastic ones, but if plastic work better I guess I'll suck it up. Also, any recs on purchased v. homemade for effectiveness?
I don't know about the balls, but do you sort your laundry by fabric type? I had a HUGE drop off in static once I separted out the fleece and poly fabrics from cotton and denim, I wash by fabric type over any color sorting and it's been a huge help is knocking out the static.
That's a good idea -- I've never done it b/c there's just not enough to justify a separate load for his biking gear. Same with his socks (cotton/acrylic blend, I think) and his undershirts. I'm already doing several loads a week between all our clothes, diapers, dish towels, bath towels and sheets! I can't justify the extra cost in water, energy and time to add two more loads.
I've been curious about wool dryer balls myself. I've not used them yet, but I've been researching them. Wool balls can work in reducing static cling, but how well they work depends on how you dry your clothes. Static cling occurs mainly when clothes are over-dried and rub against each other a lot. Synthetics dry quickly and so that's one reason you'll find they are more staticy. Wool balls absorb and hold moisture, which will help keep moisture in the dryer, without making your clothes wet. Additionally, since they absorb moisture and fluff your laundry, they help your clothes dry faster. So, if you try wool dryer balls and find your clothes still have a lot of static, try drying your clothes for less amount of time.
One suggestion is to set a timer for 10-15 minutes when you start the dryer. When the timer goes off, pull out the synthetic materials, which should be dry or close to it. Additionally, you might try using a drying rack for synthetics. We have one and find it to be a great way to dry delicates and synthetics. It doesn't take up much room and can hold quite a few clothing items.
Wife to David and mommy to Ethan
My parents used tennis balls as dryer balls and they were effective but they made clothes smell like tennis balls. I prefer the plastic because there is no smell.
If you don't have enough stuff for a single load, just hang dry the biking outfits. I don't have static issues with blended socks, but have hung dry much of this "athletic performace" type clothing. I've sent stuff thru the wash in mixed loads, but never would dry them together.

Justin Bieber's Dad: Leave My Son Alone!
It has only been a day since Justin Bieber was arrested for drag racing and DUI, but the effect on his family is already quite painful.
The "As Long As You Love Me" singer's dad Jeremy Bieber took to his Twitter account to demand that the public quit going after his boy.
Papa Bieber declared, "I can protect my kids, but I can't protect them from you and your lies. Believe in the truth not in the lies of the enemy. #reallife."
The day before Justin got into trouble, Jeremy was with him in Miami Beach, spending a little quality father-son bonding time on a rented Segway.

This is a discussion on Taurus 24/Series Pro Longevity? within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Has anyone ever shot one of these a lot and had it hold up? I almost hate to say that it is the best feeling ...
Has anyone ever shot one of these a lot and had it hold up? I almost hate to say that it is the best feeling plastic gun that I have ever held. And, the triggers are good right out of the box. The problem is, I have never seen one that someone had put at least 10K rounds through. I question whether or not they really hold up for any lenght of time and just how reliable they are when they get a litlle dirty.
I have had no problems out of mine. The only thing that I have found you need to worrry about being dirty is the trigger mechanism. I had the trigger stick on mine once. When I pulled the slide off, I realized that I should take it down a little more often and clean the lint out of the trigger.
This was my bad, not the gun. Once I blew the lint out, I put it right back together and kept on shooting.
Mine is the 24/7 Pro DS (9mm), it has Novack sights on it, not the Heine. I have Heine on my PT111, they didn't take long to get used to. I will agree that it is a very good feeling gun, and they do shoot good right out of the box. Mine is not a picky eater, as I haven't found anything yet it won't digest.
If I had to guess I have between 1000, and 1500 rds through it as of now. I figure on the first weekend in May (after tax season is over) I will put another 500 or so through it. Maybe there are some others around here that have a higher round count, but I personally don't see where even 10-20,000 would be an issue.
Just remember that shot placement is much more important with what you carry than how big a bang you get with each trigger pull.

In all honesty, I thought this was okay and would be even better if they showed more African-American women with different hair types like 3a so those who aren't educated can tell our hair comes in many different types. This really shouldn't be considered a petting zoo because most people are making it seem as one.
My hair has been curly since the day I was born and since I was growing up I've been asked about my hair and if people could touch it. At first I thought it was ignorant but after a while I realized people are just curious since "black" hair isn't represented as "good" hair in the beauty world and the media.

How to finish my paver project???
3 Attachment(s)
Hello all,
So, I have completed a lot of the work required to build my 500Sqft paver patio. However, I had to use a retaining wall around it because the slope of the area was more than the slope for the patio. I used Basalite classic retaining wall block and had the bright idea of using the lip on the block to hold in all the perimeter pavers. I also used crusher fines, aka breeze, for the entire base and am thinking about using it all the way up to the pavers and not using sand.
I am not real happy of how this is all shaping up. I did a "paver test bed" with the landing on the patio (see pic). I found that the pavers that are not resting over the retaining wall block are sinking in more than the ones resting directly on the block. The sand for the cracks is spilling out of the perimeter and it is impossible to adjust the pavers resting on the block since there is no wiggle room.
My questions are:
How should I proceed?????
Should I use a sand layer?
If so, should I extend it over the retaining wall?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Also, here is a link to a quick video of it...

More on John-Marquez
By Jeff Pamungkas
"After the shocking result of Marquez vs Pacquiao IV, Craig (Craig Christian, trainer) and Angelo (Angelo Hyder, promoter) called me from Australia to discuss the possibility of me against Marquez 2 in Singapore," John answered this writer when asked about confirmation of this news. "I replied to them, 'why not?'," John continued. If everybody agrees, the fight should be in the lightweight division.
Hyder told AFP, "Marquez and his team have always disputed the (2006) decision, even though all three judges gave it to Chris, and so boxing in a neutral place like Singapore could help make the fight happen….we will approach them and try and get the fight because this is unfinished business."
