While I wouldn't want to let my wife loose in teh STi on an Autox course I think she understands the mechanics of a manual transmission pretty well and can be trusted to downshift when necessary. Having said that it took patience and alot of "it's okay honey just push the clutch in and restart the car" to get her to that point.

I'd rather have a girl leave my heart on the floor than my second gear. No girls in the driver's side of the bugeye allowed! Unless they're stick-shift pros. Not like I am or anything, but at least if i effed up it'd be my car i'm destroying.
She learned on my old 1990 Ford Rayngar. She then bought a brand new Dodge Dakota and stalled her way out of the lot and has since become proficient at shifting gears, while still not so proficient at driving in general.:P

Wingless alas. Too bad it took a 50 ton truck to make it happen.
My wife has driven a manual in the past, but she just doesn't care too any more. Every once in a while, she says something about driving a stick shift, but it never goes anywhere.
I'm fine with it, as it means there's never any question of her driving the Evo.
"The way a press launch for a new car works is, a car manufacturer flies a group of automotive journalists to a nice location, pays their expenses, wines and dines them for several days, and lets them drive the new car all over the place. Then they go home and write objective stories."
- Dave Barry
My wife has never driven my wrx and she probably never will unless I have a old junker that I can teach her how to drive a stick. When I had my 03 civic si, I tried to teach her in a vacant Walmart parking lot in but after a killing it close to 10x trying to take off in first. I got so fustrated along with her, she just gave up. So I told her if and when the clutch is about ready to go I would teach her then so I would not have to replace the clutch early. My wife just couldn't understand how to give it gas and release the clutch pedal at the same time to allow the car to take off smoothly, let a lone work the gas, clutch, and shifter all at the same time....Oh well...

Re: 425 in a 93 fleetwood
I would look to buy a donnor car.. A 77to 79 full size RWD car.. this will have just about all the parts you will need to go to a caddy motor...If I was going to go through all the trouble of doing a motor swap it would be a 472 or 500... A 94-96 crossmember will make dual exhaust eazy...You will need a th400 if you go with a big caddy motor... thats all stuff in a donnor car..
Re: 425 in a 93 fleetwood
Im hoping to get a 472 or 500 thats what i want but whats more available is the 425 at my local pick n pull....Hopefully when im ready to pull the engine there is a 472 or 500 there but if not i will get the 425...i dont see any real problems with mounting it as the 77-79 frame is the same as a 93....i will however be getting the transmission with it....Anyone here know where i can get the rochester carb rebuilt?

Re: 425 in a 93 fleetwood
You can do a mild 425 for less money than a mild 500, primarily because 425 motors can be had for a song. A good cam, worked over heads, rebuilt Q-Jet, dual exhaust, 500 manifolds, and a worked over 500 intake would do wonders for a 425.
At the extreme end, 425 is no match for 500. But for a driver, it makes a lot of sense - especially in your case, where you have easy access to a donor car. There is a significant cost/effort penalty over throwing in another Chebby, but the SBC can't match the BB Cads for smoothness.
These guys did my Q-Jet. Give them your specs and intentions, and they'll rebuild your carb to suit. Ballpark cost is $250.

Re: 425 in a 93 fleetwood
Which engine is in your Fleetwood? I have that car with a 5.7 Chevy in it, which seem to haul it around very well. It has the trailer package, with a 3.73 rear end, so it like gas quite well.

Singer Sargent's sea paintings focus of UK show
By Mike Collett-White
LONDON (Reuters Life!) - U.S. artist John Singer Sargent was best known for his society portraits of subjects ranging from European beauties to U.S. presidents, which earned him comparisons to 17th century Flemish master Anthony van Dyck.
But "Sargent and the Sea," a new exhibition of his works at London's Royal Academy, seeks to unveil a different side to the artist that curators believe has been overlooked for too long.
The show, which runs until September 26, examines the artist's experience as a marine painter and gathers more than 70 paintings, drawings and watercolors produced mainly during his travels around Europe as a young man.
"The extent of his engagement with marine subjects has only recently been recognized," said co-curator Richard Ormond, Sargent's great-nephew and an authority on the painter.
"The aim of this exhibition is to put the sea back center-stage, and to demonstrate what a large part it played in the evolution of the artist's style," he added in his introduction to the exhibition catalog.
Ormond said the recent discovery of three previously unknown Sargent seascapes, which all appeared on the art market in 2003 having never been exhibited before, underlined how, between 1874 and 1879, he was primarily a marine painter.
The largest, "Atlantic Sunset" dated 1876 and executed when Sargent was just 20, is described by Ormond as "a work of extraordinary sophistication for one so young."
The show, housed in the Royal Academy's smaller Sackler Wing, begins with Sargent's earliest experiments with marine art during a family holiday in northern France in 1874, including simple sketches of an octopus and starfish on a piece of paper. Continued...

A breakfast taco consists of a warm corn tortilla filled with savory items and condiments. Beyond that, there are no hard and fast rules. The breakfast taco isn't beholden to its southwestern roots, although those flavor combinations are certainly well-tested. It isn't required to contain eggs, although that is often the case. It's a breakfast taco even if it isn't washed down with coffee, but that's a scenario that I don't ever want to endure.
The beauty of the breakfast taco is that it's what you want it to be, and what you have available in the fridge and pantry. As a do-it-yourself food snob, one of my favorite things about breakfast tacos is they provide a venue for many if not most of the foods I preserved in summertime: wild game, pickled peppers, homemade salsa, friend-raised bacon, homegrown or farmers' market veggies like onions and squash, potatoes kept in cold storage, and greens, blanched and frozen. Breakfast tacos are a stage for your backyard eggs, your window herb box, your local goat farmer's artisan cheese—or even his goat meat.
When I fold such items into my breakfast taco, memories of the adventures that brought these ingredients to my kitchen add to the considerable flavor. But the breakfast taco isn't limited to your homegrown morsels any more than it should follow the flavor profiles of the southern lands from where it came. The corn tortilla is a blank slate, a tortilla-rasa, if you will, that wraps around take-out fish 'n' chips as tastefully as it cradles leftover holiday turkey that you shred, brown in the pan (in oil or its own fat) with chopped garlic and chunks of leftover squash. In a heated corn tortilla with salsa and mayo, leftover holiday breakfast tortillas will make your morning coffee taste like wine.
Because of the diversity of ingredients they can accommodate, breakfast tacos are a laboratory for the culinary art of co-munching, which is the act of chewing different foods together in your mouth. Co-munching is the final stage of cooking, the last instance in which ingredients are combined. At the moment of co-munching, each component is at its optimal point—the eggs are perfect, after being scrambled in a pan in which garlic has been browned; the onions are raw and feisty; the cilantro is crisp; the jalapenos are pickled; the mayo is firm. The mastication-driven progression of flavors combining and unlocking each other is so consuming that you may end up re-reading the same sentence from your morning paper a dozen times, only comprehending the words in the wash of morning wine between bites. This sequence will likely be repeated until you run out of food or belly space.
If you have company for breakfast or brunch, preparing a line-up of fillings and allowing each guest to construct his or her taco turns the meal into a fun, participatory event, and all the morning wine that's guzzled enhances this celebratory vibe.
When dining solo or in small groups, the tortillas can be warmed in a skillet. No oil is required. After flipping them you may want to add some shredded cheese to the tortilla tops and let it melt. For larger groups, heat a stack of tortillas in a covered vessel in the oven at 350 degrees. Some people swear by the microwave; I swear at the microwave. Or if my mouth is full, I just give it the finger.
In no particular order, here is my list of top breakfast taco fillings:
Meat: crispy, browned, braised or ground, as long as it isn't too tough or chewy it works great. Meat snob that I am, I'd go meatless before eating mystery meat, but if you have well-raised or wild meat, I'm in. Bacon is the poster child, but many other types of meat will do. If you have a tough cut and want to make it breakfast taco-friendly, here's a hint: Braise it for hours at 350 degrees in red wine, or a mix of red wine and coffee, until the cartilage and connective tissue melts. Then shred your meat and fry it in oil to put a nice brown on those tender chunks.
Eggs: classic but not essential, eggs are typically scrambled for the breakfast taco.
Salsa: if not salsa, then something, or some combination of things, should provide spice and acidic flavors to combine with the rich components of the taco.
Pickled peppers and carrots: see above.
Herbs: cilantro and parsley, for instance, add color and fragrance.
Chopped onions: all but essential.
Mayo: or fake mayo, like Grapeseed Oil Vegannaise, adds much needed crème to the equation, as does...
Cheese: shredded or in thin slices that melt in contact with the warm tortilla and fillings.
Sliced avocado: for a greenish kind of crème.
Squash: a sweet and savory filling that plays well with the others.
Potatoes: not the most exciting filling, but they add a nice earthy tone.
Once you have the prepared ingredients assembled, your biggest technical hurdle is to not pack too much stuff into any one taco. Pace yourself. Tortillas are cheap.
Ask Ari: Black garlic
Q: Hi Ari,
Did you get the sample and what did you think?
Hazel J. Kelly
Public Relations Specialist
Frieda's, Inc., The Specialty Produce Company
A: Dear Hazel,
I got it, thanks. They tasted like black licorice!
To everyone out there who isn't Hazel J. Kelly:
One of the cool perks about this job is that every once in a while people want to give you gifts, like meals, the services of exotic escorts and samples of Korean fermented black garlic.
Of course I make it clear, eventually, that by accepting these gifts I am in no way agreeing to write about them (especially the escorts). And the only reason I'm writing about this Korean fermented black garlic is because I have nothing else to write about, which brings me to one of the drawbacks of this job—not getting any good questions to answer. So send me some questions, dammit!
As for the black garlic, it really is pretty cool. Christened as the next "it" ingredient by the Washington Post, it's created via a month-long high heat fermentation process. "It" looks rather disgusting but tastes pretty good. The shrunken, jet-black cloves are chewy like gummy bears and syrupy sweet with mild garlic undertones.
Black Garlic is used in fancy restaurants in dishes like black garlic with scallops, pureed black garlic on mashed potatoes, black garlic and goat stew, black garlic aioli, etc. The fermentation process, in which nothing is added, supposedly fosters the creation of anti-oxidants and healthy stuff like that. Despite being a recent creation, black garlic has a kind of "ancient Chinese secret" aura about it. According to another online food retailer, who shall remain nameless because it hasn't sent me any free product samples, "In Taoism mythology, black garlic was rumored to grant immortality."
Hmmm, that statement oughtta hold up in court.

Amp/Preamp Asylum
Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.
After researching replacement parts for the OEM circuitry in my Dynakit PAS-3X preamp from Mouser Electronics, I decided to just get new circuit board kits (fiberglass type boards) from Tubes for HiFi (Roy Motram's company) along with new volume and balance controls which will be ALPS Blue Velvet types. This will provide metal film resistors along with polypropylene capacitors. The circuit board kits are within less than $20 of what it would cost just for resistors and capacitors from Mouser to upgrade existing circuit boards. Later on I will get the regulated power supply kit and the replacement input/output RCA jack field.
After nearly 50 years the circuitry is tired and has some intermittent noise and other issues.
This post is made possible by the generous support of people like you and our sponsors:

Updated Nov 2016
Jobs & Skills
Over the last decade, the labour market has been transformed. Jobs for life are rare. Changes such as greater use of zero hours' contacts and the "gig economy", where workers are either temporary or employed as independent contractors, have led to an increase in both flexibility and insecurity. New forms of employment protection are needed to improve job security while embracing technological innovations that are becoming part of the fabric of people's everyday lives.
Everyone who can work should have the opportunity to. Too many people, particularly parents of young children and people with disabilities, face barriers to entering the labour market. Full employment brings advantages in terms of increased tax revenues and lower spending on social security. Employment also has wider benefits such as a positive effect on people's physical and mental health.
As the world of work goes through these changes, IPPR, in partnership with the JP Morgan Chase Foundation, are currently undertaking a major programme: New Skills at Work to understand the changing needs of employers and the workforce and to develop a skills infrastructure that supports both.

Ensure better skills for the workforce
While Britain has a world class university system, it is lagging behind on vocational and technical education. Too many people are completing low level vocational courses that don't help them to progress into higher skilled work. This means employers cannot find workers with the skills they need, and people who don't go to university struggle to find good quality jobs. This country needs to build a stronger vocational education system that rivals the quality of the academic route and offers students equally attractive pathways.

Deliver a broad range of vocational options with a stronger apprenticeship system at its heart
Too many apprenticeships are low quality and are just a 're-badging' of existing training schemes for adults who already have jobs. The government should reform the apprenticeship system so it is focused on helping young people to develop the skills that will help them get a foot on the career ladder. New regulations should be introduced that require apprenticeships to be restricted to those under the age of 25, contain a transferable qualification and a better balance of 'off the job' and 'on the job' training.
Equally, vocational education should not be restricted to apprenticeships. There should be vocational and technical routes available in higher education. That is why FE Colleges should be allowed to award degrees and a new generation of 'polytechnics' in England should be created. We also propose shorter '£5,000' degree courses for those wanting to live locally and pursue a vocational pathway.

Better paid, more flexible and higher quality employment is an essential element of a modern economy
We believe that employers should pay a genuine living wage. All firms that can afford to should pay this to their staff, whether they are contractors or employees. Those that cannot yet afford this should make it a future goal. We call for a series of living wage zones in towns and cities. When the saving accrued to the Treasury by payment of a living wage by councils are returned to local areas to encourage living wages in the private sector, this encourages take up by local businesses and increase productivity.
Employees do better when they have a more equal stake in a company's success. Where all workers have a voice, influence and some control in their working lives, this benefits both companies and the UK economy as a whole by improving workplace productivity. In order to boost the economy overall, the government should reward companies who take this approach.
Opportunities for flexible working should be increased to reduce the number of people who are kept out of the jobs market by family and other caring commitments. Flexible and part time work should be as fairly rewarded and secure as full time work.

Unemployment must be tackled quickly and effectively
The government should introduce a jobs guarantee. This would ensure that anyone who has been out of work for more than 12 months is given the chance to return to work. This is a key element both of achieving full employment and making sure that those who want to work but can't find a job don't drift too far from the labour market.
Schemes aimed at getting people back into employment work far better at a local rather than national level. It is through local authorities working closely with local employers and further education providers that these schemes have an impact local labour markets.

They were both in their Fairytale Land costumes, so my guess is they were filming flashback scenes in the Enchanted Forest.
Neither Robert or Ginnifer lifted their heads as they walked past a handful of fans that were at Robert Burnaby Park in Burnaby, British Columbia watching their favourite show getting made.
Later on in the evening, Giancarlo Esposito made an appearance as the Genie. He was wearing a green-screen cgi suit, which could mean that he's in the mirror and they only need his head for the scenes. Unfortunately, I wasn't there for the meet and greet he did with fans.

HMAS Ovens
Long Term Exhibition | Updated 2 months ago
The Oberon class Submarine HMAS Ovens is an authentic Cold War-era vessel situated on Fremantle's historic World War II submarine slipway. This exhibit serves as a living memorial to submariners and those who gave their lives while serving from Fremantle during World War II.
Guided tours of the submarine leave every half hour (10am - 3.30pm) from the WA Maritime Museum. Bookings are advised as tours are subject to availability. The guided tours take approximately one hour and reveal intimate details about living and serving aboard the 89 meter long vessel. Quite amazingly, 63 people served aboard the vessel living amongst pumps, controls, sensors, tactical equipment and torpedoes in extremely cramped conditions.
Find out what life is like aboard a submarine and immerse yourself in Fremantle's secret wartime history.
Bookings can be made at the front desk at the Maritime Museum or by calling 1300 134 081. Bookings are advised as tours are subject to availability. Please call ahead if you have a larger group or are concerned about weather conditions.
Tour costs can found on the WA Maritime Museum page.
Individual tickets for the submarine tour or joint tickets with the Maritime Museum are available.
Health and Safety information
The tour includes climbing 9 meter high scaffolding stairs, steeply inclined ladders and bending through narrow hatchways, a reasonable level of fitness, freedom from significant injuries, and the ability to climb independently (without walking aids) is required.
Please see the Conditions of Entry and the Submarine HMAS Ovens FAQs.
Age Restrictions
For safety reasons, children must be over the age of five and at least 100cm tall to participate on the submarine tour.
Note: tours can be cancelled because of severe weather conditions (eg. high winds, thunderstorms or high temperatures) - tickets will be refunded in such events.
Volunteering: if you are interested in volunteering as a tour guide, find out how on the get involved page of this website.

Performance questions!!!!
hey guys.
on the 99 STS. I have corsa exhaust system, and it didnt really sound too much like what the exhaust tones they put on thier websites...but the power gains were def. noticeable.
i had dynomax mufflers, and personally i thought they sucked...too low and it made the noise sound like it was coming from the engine rather than the rear....BLAH!!!
so i get a dynomax hi flow universal 2.5inch cat installed, and lemme tell you...not only does this sucker get louder...but it sounds totally similar to the corsa website tones...i think this is what they did to achieve the sound...the Hi flow i noticed also gave me more power/torque..thats for damn sure...I LOVE IT!!! and no SES code.
my ques. is. will the RSM TB throw a code? and will it fit to the stock airbox's inlet tube???
also i checked out the cadillac fabricators website...looks like they are working on headers for our cars...pretty sweet.
also has anyone tuned a 99 or newer STS at all?
i think id be interested in getting minor tuning..nothing crazy
Re: Performance questions!!!!
The soudn on the Corsa website is a recording, and nto a very high quality one at that. That is why it sounds a little different.
CHRFAB does make header for the Northstar, but unless your driving a Sand Rail, they're not gonna fit. They don't sell any product for actuall Cadillac Cars, but only for the Northstar engine. None of their products will work properly when install in a car anyway.
You can't tune the ECM, with out investing thousands of dollars in equipment. People have been trying to hack into it for years, but with no success.
The RSM throttle body is not worth the couple hundred bucks it costs to buy.
I suggest you call Yank and ask them about purchasing a High Stall Torque Converter. That, along with the exhaust, and maybe an LSD are the onyl real mods worth th money.
Re: Performance questions!!!!
So the TB wont quicken the throttle response in the least bit? i figured with my pretty much straight threw exhaust, it would work nicely...although they are just numbers, they claim 14hp...i figured a good 10hp wouldnt be too bad...my only next option would be just porting and polishing it myself...but im too lazy...LOL.
the higher stall converter i was thinking about...but then u crack into the tranny, and those high stall converters stater usually breaks after a while, and arent usually as good and strong as the stockers.something i wouldnt wanna deal with again!
the LSD sounds sweet, and would def strengthen the tranny, as long as its done right....sometimes the casings on these suckers crack b.c theyve been hollowed too much to fit more springs...but i thought the caddy spins both tires from the line anyways??
my main concern would be the input shaft..anyone cryogenically freeze any yet...its cheaper than the 4340 metal input shafts, im sure no one makes them for this 4t80e anyways.
i was interested in the rear and front strut tower bars along with the rsm tranny mounts. i had stiffer tranny mounts on my older car...it was nice.
its a shame this motor is so complicated for performance..im afraid of over doing it , i dont wanna break shit...thats y basic bolt on without Codes would be great.
lets pray that company makes some headers real soon

Re: Performance questions!!!!
Just what do you think "headers" are going to do for you? The N* already has tubular "header" type manifolds as it is. The bottleneck is in the pipe that snakes around and under the engine/trans. W/o changing that, and that means running the downpipe around one side or the other. No small feat.
Re: Performance questions!!!!
The throttle body may make a small difference, but you would also have to widen the plate it mounts too. It's not really worth the $250 or what ever it cost though.
The high stall torque converters from yank are very strong, as they make most of them expressly for drag racing purposes, and therefor must be rather strong.
The LSD from engineering performance, is not a modified stock diff, but was designed to be one from the start. That company make LSD's for pretty much all FWD GM cars.
I was thinking about the tranny moutn that RSM has, but those struts bars, would really only be worth it, if you were going to autocross with your car. These cars already handle quite well, they just need a little more ooomph in the straight line department if you know what I mean.
Re: Performance questions!!!!
Nice replys DanBuc.
you ghave me itching on the LSD . nice to know its not a stock modified.
After the torque converter crap i been through with Pro Torque, and other big names...im still leary. and dont wanna go through that .
according to cadillac fabricators, the headers will make a huge diff, they told me over the phone. they are currently using a STS to develop them on before going into production, and after 3 years they already outgrew thier facility, and plan on growing further. along with STS modifications, and told me to periodically check thier site time to time on new mods.
The headers no matter what will allow better airflow.
those tubular manifolds are horrible. the best could be extrudehoning them...but thats way expensive.
with headers, cadillac fabricators told me they are designing them in such a way that there will be clearance, but a tight fit. fine by me. just as long as it fits.
They also said, they are working with GM divisions on how to Tune them also.
Re: Performance questions!!!!
I spoke with them about a year ago regarding headers for the cars, and they said at the time, they were thinking about it. Seems that they have started work which is nice. I have the website for Engineered Performance here some where...her it is. http://www.engineered.net/eplsd.htm . They don't have the 4T80E listed on their site, but when I spoke with the guys over at Domestic Performance, they said that they also make one for it, since they are somewhat similar in design.
Here is the website for Yank converters also, if you want to check it out. When I spoke with them, they new I had an STS, as soon as I mentioned I had a caddy. They said they have built quite a few, and have had really good results with them. http://www.converter.cc/home.htm .
Mark99STS over on the caddyinfo forum, ran a 14.1 in the 1/4 with a 2800rpm converter, a set of slick, and the RSM throttle body. He did say however, that he qeustioned the contribution the throttle body actually made though. He also has the Corsa exhaust like me. I've been trying to save up for an LSD, and a 3200rpm stall converter, but between my crappy job, and school, I don't seem to have the money I thought I would at this point in time. I guess it'll have to wait for summer.
Re: Performance questions!!!!
Question about the Corsa's, I was tempted to buy a Northstar car just because of the way it sounded with those pipes. What did all that cost and do they drone?
Re: Performance questions!!!!
I don't have any drone at normal cruising speeds on highway, or regular streets. It gets pretty loud when you hammer on it though. I purchased mine directly from Corsa, for about a little over $1,000 if I remember correctly. My friend at my local Meineke ( I think that's how you spell it?) installed it for about $90. I got in in January of '04, and I've been extremely happy with it. I get alot of comment on it, from people at my school. They are always asking me what kind it is, and saying how cool it sounds when I roar past them on the highway going home from school.
Re: Performance questions!!!!
yea id say pretty much everything Dan says . my corsa rocks, and i got a 2.5uin hi flow cat that enhanced the sound also and made it more throatier, power gains are excellent as well. no drone either.
i got mine on a christmas sale. 900 dollars shipped.
Re: Performance questions!!!!
What is the cheapest cat back exhaust system available for the 1993 Cadillac Seville STS? I would like a high flow cat and good mufflers. The only system I have heard any good talk about is the corsa. Are there other more price worthy exhaust systems out there?

Yes, 45cal GC will work on .458 (45/70) bullets.
Hi all, this maybe a stupid question, but does to standard 45 cal gas check work with the 45-70 bullet?
I'm thinking about using gas checks on my 405 gr. bullets, to reduce leading. I am now at 1740 fps, and there is a little lead after 20 or so rounds. Does anyone here use gas check bullets in there 45-70?
\Of al, the guns I load for this one seems to want me to keep pushing it to the limit.
Thanks all.
Yes, 45cal GC will work on .458 (45/70) bullets.
Canadian outdoorsman.
Is the shank on your boolits made to accept gas checks?
MO Member #77
VTDW- My bullet is not made for it, I will need to turn it in my lathe to make it fit. Is there a 405 grain bullet mold out there that takes a gas check, that will work in the Marlin lever action?
I can't answer your question but have fun turning. I cannot believe I sold my lathe and my mill.
MO Member #77
There are lots of moulds that make bullets that accept gas checks. I would buy or borrow one before turning down bullets. Too much pia in my opinion.
Proper fit in throat area is the one most important factor in reducing leading. So it would be a good thing to slug the throat and bore before buying a new mould, if you have the capabilities. Cerrosafe is available at reloading supply companies and works well.
If you don't want to fool with that, then try to shoot the bullets as large as possible. I would start with sizing die of .460 for a lubrisizer when you are putting on gas checks and lubing.
At over 1700fps, you are pushing the high end and I am not surprised you are getting leading. What alloy are you using, and are you quenching?
If you drop into bucket of water from mould, it'll get a good bit harder than air cooling them. That'll help if you are pushing them fast.
I guess I am at opposite end of scale, I like to shoot them as they come out of mould, unsized, and only push them 1200fps or so. They are "polite" to shoot.
Hi OCONEEDAN, I normally shoot at lower velocities, but I'm going to use the gun on my moose hunting trip this year and want to get all I can out of her. I do oven heat treat the bullets now and it helps, I am using an alloy of 9 lbs ww, and 1 lbs of tin. I would like to get some lino but can't get any at a fear price.
Is there anywhere you can buy gas check that you do not need to buy 1000, my poor body would not stand up to 1000 hot 45-70's . I think some of my problem is the lube I used, I tried some that I got on e-bay, the next ones I try will be Lyman lube for high vel. One last thing, I'm not looking forward to turning down the bullets but I can't find a mold for a 405 gr. RFN that takes a gas check. The next time I cast I will try the .460" and see how it works. The amount of leading I'm getting is very little, but I would like to get no lead. Any idea what the top speed would be for a 405 gr. cast in a marlin guide gun?
Thanks agains, it's great when you get feed back with great info.
The rcbs 405GC is made for leverguns and has a proven track record.I've been shooting the rcbs 300GC and it is very accurate.The saeco 350GC is made for leverguns also.My 300GC actually comes out to 324 grains with my alloy.One half pound tin to 20 pounds WW.If your mixing in more than two and a half percent tin your wasting it from what I've read.More than that doesn't help fill out any better.I use 5744 with Plain base bullets and get very good accuracy and no leading.
451 has some very good info here. And I, too, like to use 5744.
There are LOTS of moulds made for gas checks, and the RCBS 405 that he mentioned is highly regarded.
I don't think you can buy fewer than 1000gc at a time unless you can find someone who will sell you less.
My thoughts on leading with hunting load....why worry about it? If this is not your normal plinker load, and you are only preparing for a single moose hunt, then it is easier to deal with the leading than work up a new load and buy a new mould.
I have a Ruger 44 mag Super Blackhawk handgun. I am shooing a 310gr flat nose bullet out of it at around 1175fps. Stout load but not blazing fast. I have had great success using pure lead in it for hunting only. Does it lead the barrel? Sure it does. But I practice with harder cast bullets and only use the pure lead for hunting, so it doesn't matter. How much leading can you have with 5 shots or so?
So in short, you can clean every 20 rounds much easier than working up new load.
Now, if you live where you can go moose/bear hunting often, then that is different and you want to find something you can live with.
You may also want to try a jacketed bullet for this hunt, and go back to cast later. Can't believe I said that.
I load a Ranch dog 350 gr. FP with gas check and have been pushing it almost to 2000 fps with no leading, I use straight WW lead and air cool them since i want them soft enough to expand and create a larger wound on big game. I now load that bullet at 1700-1800 fps as that velocity will take care of anything I may wish to shoot including bison.
I have to agree with the post concerning why worry about a little leading for one hunt, you are going to use very few bullets on the moose and you seem to have a very good hunting load already. As for the tin, 2% max is all you need for good fill out in the mold.
If you are using a .458 sizing die, try a 459 or 460 and your leading problems may just go away with you present load. I am using a .459 sizing die on the RD cast bullets.
That 405 gr. cast bullet at 1700 fps should go all the way though a moose on a broadside shot.

Marijuana convention KushConII thinks RTD is kind -- for approving event ads for its buses
Does RTD feel the need for weed? Apparently so, since Denver buses now feature ads for KushConII, taking place December 17-19 at the Colorado Convention Center. Organizers are so happy at this example of this institutional acceptance that they're formally thanking the folks at RTD for taking their money.
Look below to see the KushConII release, as well as a video featuring some of the bus ads.
Kush Con II press release:
What in the world does "Have a Kush Day!" Mean?
Mysterious saying began appearing on buses all over Metro Denver last week
DENVER, CO -- Last week, RTD buses all over the metro Denver area began sporting the message, "Have a Kush Day", pleasing some bus riders, offending others, and still baffling many. The slogan, which refers to a specific strain of marijuana, Kush, is the tag slogan for next month's upcoming Kush Con II, the largest cannabis convention ever to be conducted in the USA that will be held at the Colorado Convention Center from December 17-19th.
RTD, who approved the ad copy submitted by Kush Magazine and Dailybuds.com, the hosts of the event, has made a bold statement in running the ads. The medical cannabis industry has arrived and is here to stay in Colorado.
"We are very pleased that the RTD agreed to allow us to advertise on their buses and that they accepted our creative design," said Michael Lerner, publisher of the cannabis lifestyle magazine, Kush, and online social networking site, dailybuds.com. "As an advocate for the end of marijuana prohibition nationwide, I know that the cause comes up against a lot of resistance, especially in the way of advertising in major metro areas. I respect RTD's open-mindedness about and feel it's just one more indicator that Colorado, where medical cannabis is legal and regulated, is on its way toward the full legalization of cannabis statewide."

State Senator From Brooklyn Surrendering To Feds On Corruption Charges
(John Del Signore) A prominent state Senator is the latest local politician caught in a Federal investigation into Albany corruption. Democratic Senator John Sampson, whose district includes Canarsie and East New York, will surrender to prosecutors today, according to reports in the New York Times and NY Post. The charges stem from wiretap recordings made by another disgraced politician, former state Senator Shirley L. Huntley of Queens, who pleaded guilty to siphoning more than $87,000 in taxpayer money from a nonprofit called Parents Information Network and using the loot for lavish shopping trips.
Sampson is expected to be charged with obstruction of justice. Prosecutors say that last year Sampson approached Huntley on behalf of a cargo company at JFK Airport that wanted to lease more space. In exchange for a $1,000 bribe, Huntley arranged a meeting between the company's reps and Port Authority officials. Sources tell the Daily News that investigators are also looking into a $100,000 "loan" to Sampson from one of his legal clients, Queens businessman Edul Ahmad, who faces mortgage fraud charges.

Athens hit by bomb blasts
Page Tools
Three bombs exploded next to a police station in Athens early today, causing no injuries but deepening security fears just 100 days before the Greek capital hosts the 2004 Olympic Games.
The blasts caused extensive damage to the police station in the southern Athens suburb of Kallithea.
Athens is struggling to finalise preparations for the Olympics, scheduled to run from August 13 to 29, and the city is planning a massive security operation amid fears of extremist attacks.
But the Greek police and government said they saw no connection between today's bombings and the Olympics, and police said their main line of inquiry was focused on local extremist groups.
"There is absolutely no reason to link this incident with the Olympics. It is a local affair," a senior police official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
"There has been an exaggerated reaction to the blasts ... Such things have happened frequently in the past," Greek Deputy Foreign Minister Evrypidis Stylianidis told radio station Flash.
"We must be on alert but we should not exaggerate."
The Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) voiced concern over the pre-dawn explosions but said it was not contemplating pulling its team out of the games.
"Any bomb that goes off in Athens is worrying," said Bob Elphinston, secretary general of the Australian Olympic Committee.
"This (Athens) is now the Olympic city and again whether it's a coincidence that it's 100 days to the games ... time will tell."
AOC president John Coates later said early indications were that the bombings were the work of local anarchists.
He said he remained confident with the level of security in place for the Athens games, and the AOC was committed to sending a team.
However, it would continue to monitor the security situation daily.
The three blasts occurred within 45 minutes of an anonymous telephone warning to an Athens newspaper, police in the city said.
They believed the timing of the blasts, which they described as "middle sized", was staggered in the hope that the second and third bombs would injure policemen arriving on the scene after the first explosion.
They gave no details of the nature of the bombs or the possible identity of the bombers.
Senior police officers were sent to inspect the site of the blasts.
State television channel NET reported that at least one of the bombs seemed to consist of dynamite attached to a timer.
The Athens games will be the first Summer Olympics since the September 11, 2001, attacks in the United States.
Athens has allocated more than 50,000 police and army personnel to ensure security, and is spending more than 650 million euros ($A1.08 billion) on related equipment.
Greek security forces have been dismantling urban guerrilla groups and arresting members of the extremist organisations November 17 and the People's Revolutionary Struggle (ELA), in a bid to boost security ahead of the games.
But in recent months the country has seen a resurgence in low-level urban violence, with a string of firebomb attacks, mainly against branches of commercial banks.
Police believe such attacks are conducted by anarchist groups which do not have the capacity to stage large-scale operations.
Local mafia gangs in Athens also occasionally attack rival groups with explosives.
Last September, an Athens court was targeted in a double bomb attack which injured a policeman.
And late last year police foiled dynamite attacks against branches in Athens of US bank Citibank and US insurer AIG.

Something most people don't know about me: I was born in the back seat of a 1957 Chevy because my father had to finish doing the farming chores.
Education: Southeast Community College, Milford, Nebraska, Associate Degree in Computer Science
Years in the Industry: 32
Role models: My father because he worked hard his entire life, and took care of a large family. It's all about trust, integrity and doing the right thing.
Philosophy: Whatever you do in life and work - give 100 percent. It's the only way you will be able to do a good job.
What I'm reading now: Colin Powell. Also Rudy Giuliani's Courage Under Fire.
Ken ultimately found his niche "back home" in Omaha, where he currently serves as Senior Vice President and CIO of First National Bank of Omaha, a subsidiary of First National of Nebraska, (20 billion dollars in assets and over 7,000 employees); one of the top fifty bank holding companies in the United States.
How did you start your career? My IT career began at a two-year college, where I earned an associate degree in Computer Science when I was 19. When I graduated from high school at age 17, I immediately went to summer school at college to pursue computer science -- and I landed my first IT job as a computer programmer, programming COBOL on a mainframe computer at Mutual of Omaha.
What experiences along the way helped you in your IT career? I got into the financial services industry after I left Mutual of Omaha, and have been in financial services for 29 years. The financial services career path started in1976, when I worked for a savings and loan in Omaha managing a small group of people. I then moved to Citibank in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, to gain exposure to banking, working for the biggest company I could find. I learned a lot in a large company environment in a very short period of time. The IT culture was highly competitive -- both inside and out -- and only the strongest survived.
What surprised you most about the big company experience? My job at Citibank involved working three weeks every month in Sioux Falls and one week in Manhattan, New York. I was from a small town in the Midwest, so working in New York City was a complete cultural change. I immediately felt overwhelmed, but after awhile, I found that there was plenty to do in New York. Where else could you see the New York Yankees, see a play on Broadway and then dine at one of the finest restaurants in the world. I actually fell in love with the city.
How did you get introduced to First National of Nebraska? I missed Omaha, so decided to move back and made the transition by helping First National through a computer conversion from an NCR computer to an IBM mainframe. Five years later I took a CIO position with another bank in Omaha. Shortly after that, the bank was sold. As a result of the merger I pursued a career as an independent consultant. As a consultant, the pay was good but the work was not challenging. When First National of Nebraska called me in 1995 and asked if I would consider re-joining them, with a career path to the CIO position, I decided that was what I wanted to do.
What were some of the skills that you think made you an attractive CIO candidate for First National of Nebraska? It's all about achievement. On a daily basis, I have to personally feel that I get a lot of things done to feel good about how the day has gone. This is important, because many companies go through periods where they are trying to get things done, and it just seems to move at a snail's pace. They spend multiple years on projects before reaping any benefits from their efforts, and by then the project or product is no longer a market differentiator. It is important for me that I accomplish what I say I will. My father always told me to put my heart and soul into whatever I was doing, or not to do it at all. "Be passionate about your work".
As a CIO, how do you balance technology with business? My entire job is all about the business. Technology is a tool we use to solve business problems. I understand the technology, but I do not miss being a computer programmer. I also understand that some technology people develop "brand loyalty" to certain vendors or solutions because they have expertise and knowledge in those areas. When you are dealing with the business, you have to objectively look at the best technology at the least cost to apply to the problem … and you also have to keep in mind that for any technology, people generally use only 10-20 percent of that technology's full capability.
What is your personal highlight from working at First National of Nebraska? We were featured earlier this year as a national cover story in data center virtualization and I was proud of that -- and proud of the fact that we were doing virtualization back in 2003, when most people were just thinking about it. We have run a virtualized data center for nearly five years now, and have reaped the benefits. We have also realized my vision of eliminating all of the different brands and systems sitting out on the data center floor -- and have developed a more streamlined energy utilization and operational approach.
What personal areas do you continue to work on? I have a personality of a high achiever, so I make it my business to spend time with my staff, getting out of my office, walking around and visiting with people to get a better understanding of the challenges they face in doing their job. We are proud that we were ranked in the top 35 of IDG's Computerworld 100 Best Places to Work in IT in both 2007 and 2008.
How I got here in 10 words or less? Truly understanding the technology and knowing how to bridge the technology to the business. Building strong relationships with business leaders will allow companies to be best in class. Ken Kucera Quote: To become world class, you must continue to take it to the next level. World Class is only achieved when you have the very best people working together to achieve common goals. There is no hardware or software that can do anything without talented people who are passionate about their work and accomplishments.

Excel Industries Ltd, which has been a pioneer in the area of crop protection chemicals, has today emerged as one of the leading players in the specialty and performance chemicals catering to various industries such as agrochemicals, plastics, water treatment, additives, catalyst, pharma, etc. Excel is organised into two divisions - chemicals and environment & biotech – with chemicals contributing majorly to its overall turnover. While agro-intermediates still accounts for a major share of its chemicals division's product portfolio, the company is reportedly planning for a big push in the pharma intermediates space. In this free-wheeling interview with Rakesh Rao, Ashwin Shroff, Chairman & Managing Director, Excel Industries Ltd, elaborates on the company's future plans and strategy.
Of the two divisions, chemicals division has been a major contributor to Excel's turnover. Do you see a change in this, with environment & biotech division contributing more in future?
I would not be overly worried about percentage; I want both to grow. Of the two, chemical is more matured business. On the other hand, waste management & biotech business is relatively new, and hence offer inherent growth opportunities. In chemicals, we are an established player and have got more credibility. Both the businesses should grow at robust rate. We are not going to put any artificial restriction on them. We see good potential in both.
How is the pharmaceutical intermediates market evolving in India? Is China still posing threat to Indian companies?
India is one of leading players in the global pharmaceutical industry with many companies exporting to the developed markets. In last 10-15 years, with imports becoming less costly with lowering of customs duties and other restrictions, intermediates imports from China to manufacture active pharmaceutical intermediates (APIs) have increased. Pharma companies would buy intermediates from China and add value and sell APIs and formulations. Most of the pharma companies sold their formulations in the local market, while exported bulk of APIs.
ALSO READ: Anand Sharma seeks greater market access for Indian pharma products in Russia
In last few years, Chinese currency Yuan has appreciated against the dollar. Also, the production cost has been increasing in China with the implementation of stringent regulations and escalating labour cost. Re has also lost against the dollar in recent past. All these factors will result in increase in cost of Chinese intermediates, making them uncompetitive compared with products manufactured in India. This will offer huge business opportunities to Indian companies in the intermediate space. This is where we see big potential market for us, and hence we are working this front.
Would you please elaborate on the strategy to tap the pharmaceutical ingredients market?
We have been serving pharmaceutical industry with commoditised intermediates in past. But now, we want to focus on advanced intermediates. We have put up a plant to manufacture these specialty chemicals. Most of our customers are exporters, hence we have to adhere to international standards. Keeping all these thing in mind, we have set up current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) plant. With these specialty products, we are targeting areas such as antiretroviral, veterinary, etc.
The plant has been designed is such a way that it should be able to generate Rs 30-40 crore worth of business in foreseeable future. Once, we establish the business in advanced intermediates segment, it should contribute majorly to our turnover.
What is your vision for your company?
To be innovative and responsible company. Innovative in terms of new products, applications and processes. All the stakeholders (investors as well as employees, customers, community/society) should get equal treatment. Our vision is to grow at healthy rate with innovative products and be in tune with the requirements of the society and customers.

Pretty Little Liars S03E22: "Will the Circle Be Unbroken?"
Let's get through the dumb crap so we can talk about the good stuff.
There were two things in this episode that made me want to walk out of the room. One was the possibility (and, now, inevitability) of Ezra joining the workforce as someone people can trust around their children, and the other was the bizarre stuntcasting where Emily got to hang out with her celebrity idol like she was in an episode of Scooby-Doo.
Over the last few weeks, Emily has been the surrogate rallier of troops while Spencer suffered her many, sometimes repeating, stages of grief. Emily hijacked Paige's mission to the costume shop, went looking for Toby in all the wrong places, and has kept Aria and Hanna's flighty attentions on the task at hand: Find A, Toby, and some answers. So this seemed like the perfect time to bring in four-time Olympic gold-medalist Missy Franklin for a stop at The Brew.
The only reason I can think of as to why this could be a good idea narratively is to make sure Shana gets in good with Emily, an interesting turn since we know from the Pretty Dirty Secrets web series that Shana's tight with the A crowd (and has ties to Ali, Cece, and Jason). But I'm pretty sure the show didn't need to bring in an Olympian to endear a pretty, bicurious swimmer to Emily.
So we had to sit through two awkward scenes where Emily and a non-actor athlete made excited small talk, and they were the polar opposite of everything else in the episode. Every other time we saw Emily she had Hurt Baby Deer Face while trying to figure out what was up with her friend. It was bizarre, almost like "meet Missy Franklin" was a rider on someone's contract. And that contract did not belong to Shay Mitchell.
What we can take from those painful scenes is that Shana is just one example of the possibility that the Liars are moving on. Emily had a brush with her future and some light flirtation with newer, hotter, didn't-try-to-drown-me pastures (though they're probably also straight-up evil pastures). Hanna might be moving to New York with her mother. And Aria finally scrounged around for something beneath her romantic principles and found a way to lie about whether she loved Ezra.
And let's go back that other ridiculous thing for a minute: Ezra being considered for substitute teaching in the Rosewood school district. Now, even the whiff of someone dating a school-aged anyone, while teaching or not, should be a red flag. Rumors like that don't haunt the teachers with very clear boundaries. But the principal took it to Aria and asked her the important questions, informally, to see if there was any truth to the rumors. Aria very clearly told her no in a way that appeared to surprise ever herself.
It's almost been like watching Aria wake up from a spell these last few weeks as Ezra has embraced being the baby daddy to someone else's mama. The biggest problem with Aria for just about the entire length of the series has been that her character is only associated with being Ezra's girlfriend. I want to see more of her defining herself. But I think her conversation with the principal was less about Aria surprising herself with her independence and more just another secret that can be leveraged against her.
There is one person who isn't moving on, though. At least not in the same way that the other girls think they are. And now we're getting to the good stuff.
Troian Bellisario has been killing it by defining a before and after version of Spencer. The buttoned-up, type-A Spencer has drowned in this raging water of emotion, epiphany, and wit. Her time at Radley, even if it was just for this episode, has easily been my favorite part of the season thus far. It's not only been enlightening for her as a character, but it's been immensely enlightening for us as an audience.
We are starting to see that whatever is happening to these girls has its early beginnings in the oeuvre of the blonde bitch they used to worship. While Ali's diaries seemed important before for what amounted to suggestions of clues based on the questions the Liars were asking, Spencer's flashback opened the door to this being something bigger and badder, something that has to be carried on. Are they volumes of a manifesto that serves as the working document for the A team? Are they a detailed history of a conspiracy? It's like Rubicon up in here.
That Mona has the diaries (in a handy e-reader edition) should be no surprise, since she's supposedly carrying on the legacy Ali left behind (or at least helping to carry on that legacy). She told Spencer, in the language so very familiar to conspiracy-based thrillers, that she has the answers to questions Spencer hasn't even brought herself to ask. Things are bigger, broader, and more complicated in ways none of the Liars have thought to fathom. The Ali-inspired superstructure has more moving parts than we as an audience can know.
But that wasn't even my favorite part of the episode. My favorite part was the group therapy session at the end.
Recall that the first shot of "Will the Circle Be Unbroken?" was a mirror image: Mona putting on lipstick and looking back at Aria, Hanna, and Emily, specifically Aria and Hanna. It was a reflection, a way to see something without having to look directly at it. When you look directly at a person, you have to deal with his or her humanness, create a society with that person. Reflections are two-dimensional images that may not be completely fair, but are easier to inspect and maybe easier to identify then when you have to assemble the pieces of recognition for a real person where the data is ephemeral. Images and likenesses are very important to A, particularly since A never interacts person-to-person and likes to deal in the impermeable.
Spencer's monologue at the end of the episode was the rhapsody of a person who's been to the brink and seen the void. She has nothing left. She's made her peace with death but continued to live. Her words were those of someone who feels they're living on borrowed time. She's changed dynamically since learning Toby was A, and Mona's assertion that she and Spencer are the same echoed in Spencer's tearful realizations. "What do you have to change inside to survive? Who do you have to become?"
Spencer has seen that there's more to the mystery than the identity of a bully. There's something bigger and fiercer than texts and blackmail. It's dark and macabre. From this vantage, after Sullivan reminded Spencer not to apologize for her "lack" of problems, that her problems are just like those of everyone else in the group (more specifically, that these girls are just like her), Spencer could see something in a clearer light.
There are five women in the group in addition to Spencer and Sullivan, but reaction shots only came from three: a short-haired blonde who shivered like Ally Sheedy in The Breakfast Club; a scowling, sickly looking brunette with frizzy hair and the glower of a woman who just killed a bird or two; and an almost brazen young woman who appeared to be the most comfortable in the group, one who even traded glances with Sullivan.
When Spencer saw the vision of her friends there, it was no mistake for how they were seated with respect to the other women. They were in the opposite order of the women they reflected. Take it as the as foreshadowing of future trauma or intuition for how the Liars feel, but don't mistake Spencer's seeing her friends as the hallucinations of someone breaking down. She sees the reflection of her fellow victims in the anxiety-riddled and broken women around her.
You can see why a Missy Franklin stuntcast (is that even a stuntcast?) is laughable here. You have all the Liars on the brink of transition, Spencer in the middle of a metamorphosis, and now the end of this season is marked with that one time an Olympian stopped by Rosewood. It's weird, right?
– Really, Liars? You think Spencer spent the last two days at her favorite bookstore or that weird college lab theater? You may know Spencer better than the police, but you may not be much smarter.
– Eddie Lamb, along with Andrew of the decathalon, might be the only non-evil dudes in Rosewood.
– "Excuse me, Pastor Ted. I'm Detective Wilden and I'll be creeping out your ladyfolk today."
– I like that Byron and Ella are thinking of a master plan to naturally crush Ezria under the weight of Ezra's responsibilities. Because, clearly, they're the ONLY SANE PEOPLE IN TOWN.
– Three reasons why Hanna is the best: "Nothing works underwater. It's a scientific fact." "There's a downside to being too smart." "Sometimes you poke the bear. Other times, the bear pokes you."
– Do all the lesbians in Rosewood swim? Is that a thing?
– Was that Bruce the Watermelon Baby on the Mobile Lair's dashboard?

Artist Bio
The Texas-native started taking piano lessons in fourth grade, learned guitar and drums in sixth and seventh grade, and fell in love with songwriting in college at Nashville's Belmont University. A self-described introvert with an aversion to the spotlight, Wilson never dreamed he'd be the one behind the mic, but God had other plans. Since signing to Sparrow Records in 2006, Wilson has become a staple at radio, amassing six Top 10 hits on Billboard's Hot Christian Songs chart, including "That Was Then, This Is Now," "Savior, Please," "I Refuse," "Fall Apart," "Carry Me" and "Before The Morning," which landed the No. 4 spot on Billboard's 2012 Year-End Christian Songs chart. He's toured with some of the genre's biggest acts, including Third Day, Steven Curtis Chapman, Matthew West and Casting Crowns; and even veteran artists who applaud Wilson's carefully honed musicianship have admired his impressive live show. He's been known to have as many as 20 instruments on-stage at any given time (and knows how to play all of them).

: Addicted to coloring my hair
I've been through five different colors in the last eight months and currently my hair is two toned and it bothers me. I dyed my hair black this summer thinking it would be able to leave it alone and like it grow out. I have only 4 or 5 inches of hair when it's stretched out so I'm still at a point where if I feel like its too damaged I can't shave it and start over. I plan to bleach my hair tonight to get rid of the two toned. I've thought about using a black rinse but I co wash daily and it would be a waste.

Southern Appalachian Mountains
This region has the oldest river in
The Southern Appalachian Mountains blanket the western third of North Carolina, part of a chain of ancient peaks and valleys stretching more than 1,500 miles from Canada to central Alabama. TNC has worked to protect the tremendous natural diversity of this special place for more than 30 years.
Help us get the equipment we need.
Why so Special?
Towering mountain peaks, rock outcrops and waterfalls dot the landscape, creating specialized habitats and unique natural communities. This is a region of extremes, featuring the oldest river in North America (the New River) and the highest peak east of the Rockies (Mount Mitchell).
From bog turtles to black bears, peregrine falcons to ruffed grouse, the Southern Appalachians are home to a vast array of species. Steep mountainsides nurture a profusion of wildflowers, fissure caves provide habitat for endangered bats and rare salamanders and dense forests host vast numbers of migrating songbirds.
The Conservancy has helped preserve some of the most iconic natural landmarks in the Southern Appalachians, places like Grandfather Mountain, the Joccassee Gorges and the Roan Highlands. The Conservancy preserve at Bluff Mountain is among our oldest projects in the state, and efforts continue to safeguard our state's most special natural places.
We work with a number of partners in the Southern Blue Ridge. Our newest partnership is with the NP Forest Partnership, a collaborative partnership formed to foster civic engagement and positive guidance in creating the best possible management plan revision for Nantahala-Pisgah National Forest.

11 Ways to Eat Rhubarb This Springby Maria Russo in In Season, Recipes, March 18th, 2016
OK, so technically spring doesn't start until Sunday, but for the sake of that "spring forward" business we dealt with last week, let's just assume that we're already in the next season. Along with longer days and warmer weather (hopefully coming soon), spring brings with it a bounty of fresh fruits and vegetables, from strawberries to bright peas and onions. As you peruse your local farmers market or browse the aisles of your grocery store, look for stalks of rhubarb; it's a seasonal spring pick that, while a bit bitter on its own, can be easily sweetened up in some classic desserts and pairs well with naturally sweet fruits, like those fresh strawberries. Read on below to check out some of the best ways to put rhubarb to work.

You did nail it DG.
If I'm 'coming around' cause the kid actually has shown me something this year. Since he was drafted he's given me little to go on, now we see him playing a solid defensive game(most nights) in the A, thats a big deal, bigger than beating up on WHL midgets.

This is the problem.
My fear is that the only reason he was picked #10 in that draft was exactly because of that incident. I know, I know, that seems so unbelievable right?

When McIlrath is on the ice, guys know not to take liberties with our players, because if they do McIlrath will beat the **** out of them or one of their players.
I think theres a few reasons we have not seen someone like DM in our organization for awhile. One, there's not enough players like this in all of hockey much less in every draft. And if they are available they are usually hard to get or expensive FA's. Secondly, most teams that have a player that deters others from taking 'liberties' have forwards who do that, not Dmen that are counted on to play top 4 minutes.
I played hockey, have watched hockey for a long time. I don't think a single player stops any team from doing what they want. Now a collectively tough team, thats when you see other teams not want to pull punches.

…held me over nicely, so I just decided to warm up a little of my leftover cabbage stir-fry last night for a light lunch.
I topped it with a little sweet chili sauce for a little extra burst of flavor. This lunch had approximately 315 calories, 10g fat, 25g carb, 27g protein, and 8g fiber.
Since this was a light lunch, I got hungry a little later this afternoon and had a lemon zest Luna bar with a handful of blueberries as a snack.
I saw clients pretty late today, so it was starting to get late by the time we were ready to make dinner. I wasn't extremely hungry, since I had my snack earlier, and I didn't want to make something too time consuming.
So we made a smorgasbord cheese plate for our dinner tonight. It include some olives, cherry tomatoes, blueberries, blue cheese, laughing cow cheese, goat's cheese, and parmesan as well as some chicken sausage and roasted pecans.
I brushed a whole wheat hot dog bun with a little olive oil to have for some healthy carbs on the side. Even though this was kind off a random meal, it actually turned out to be a lot of fun and like a foodie's dream quick meal!
