BUIES CREEK, N.C.-Campbell knocked down a school record 13 three pointers and tied another single game mark with nine blocks to race past UNC Asheville 82-62 Monday night in Big South play at Gore Arena.
Campbell improves to 9-4 overall and 2-0 in Big South games, while Asheville falls 4-9 on the season and 0-2 in league play. The Lady Camels now lead the all-time series 28-7 against the Bulldogs, dating back to 1980. With the win, Campbell is also 18-1 all-time against Asheville in Big South games.
The Lady Camels' 13 threes breaks the previous school mark of 12, which the team hit twice in program history (vs. Georgia State March 2, 1995 and at Appalachian State on Dec. 20, 1999). Campbell also tied the school blocks record for the third time this season, also recording nine denials against Montreat and Western Carolina.
Senior guard Kate Cloxton paced the Lady Camels with 20 points and four assists, notching her third career 20-point outing. Junior guard Tonisha Baker followed with 12 points and seven rebounds with five assists. Jessica Moore, a sophomore guard, posted 12 points, a career-high, going 4-for-4 from three point range.
Jazmine Cooper and Amanda O'Neill each added nine points and five boards, with O'Neill, a senior guard, tacking on career-bests of eight assists and five steals. Senior post Katelyn Bass also registered six points and five rebounds in the win.
Shonese Jones led Asheville with 24 points, including 20 in the second half alone, adding five rebounds. Leah Wormack joined Jones in double figures with 10 points, also collecting a game-high nine rebounds. Lindsey Thompson and Tacey Trammell each gathered eight points.
After giving up the opening bucket, the Lady Camels fired off 10-straight points, going ahead 10-2 when Baker drained a three at the 16:40 mark.
With the lead down to three with 13:44 on the clock in the first, Roslyn Presley's jumper sparked a 15-0 Campbell run, limiting Asheville to 0-of-7 shooting and three turnovers over 4:31, taking a 29-11 lead.
Still leading 34-17 at the 4:31 mark after Wormack's bucket, Cloxton drained the seventh of eight first half threes for the Lady Camels. Bass' three with 2:02 to go in the first extended the CU lead to 22 at 43-21, matching the team's largest of the night, before taking a 43-23 lead into the half.
The Lady Camels were 17-of-31 from the floor in the first half (54.8 percent), while knocking down 8-of-11 three point baskets (72.7 percent).
Still holding a 22 point lead at 64-42 with 11:53 to play after another Moore triple, the Bulldogs closed the gap to 13 with a 14-5 spurt, capped by a Trammell jumper at the 6:57 mark.
Four-straight Campbell basketball, however, quieted the Asheville run, as the Lady Camels took the 82-62 win.
The Lady Camels will be back in action on Saturday, Jan. 7, traveling to Radford to begin a three game road stand.

Diapers and Wipes and Potties - oh my!Pin It
past 6 months or so, we've been treading the downright awful water of potty training. We are good for a few days, then the accidents are so bad that we revert back to good old diapers while we recover. This journey seems to be taking longer with Baby #3 and it truly has made me extraordinarily fond of diapers. Changing a diaper is a cakewalk compared to changing soiled underpants. UGH.
Moving on -- SIMPLY RIGHT™ Baby Care was kind enough to send me a sampling of their diapers and wipes and I must admit I was happy to drop the potty training for a week or so while we tried them out.
In our house they are called the "super animal kind" - no joke. For some reason, the animal motif has really hit a chord.
Follow my blog with Bloglovin
For the price, the wipes are the real value in the bundle. They are of a medium thickness and I haven't had one rip on me yet! Not to mention they are the actual size a wipe SHOULD be. Ever bought the cheapo wipes and the come out like 3x3 or something and feel like wet felt? ugh.
My other favorite feature is the easy release lid. I always get frustrated when wipes have those clasps that seem like they are protecting thousands of dollars and require two hands and a wrench to pry them open. Who has two hands when changing a diaper? Not I said the fry!

20 Greenpeace activists blocked the entrance to 3 quarries in Normandy that supply concrete and gravel for the European Pressurised Reactor (EPR) site at Flamanville yesterday. We took this action to stop the re-opening of the construction site, which had been ordered by the French Nuclear Safety Agency (ASN). This was despite none of the safety problems the ASN discovered over a month ago having been adequately resolved by EdF, who are carrying out the project.
In May, the ASN stopped all construction at Flamanville because of chronic safety problems with all the concrete on site. ASN inspectors highlighted a range of problems including non-conformities in the pinning of the steel framework of the concrete base slab, incorrectly positioned reinforcements, and inadequacy of technical inspections by both the construction company Areva and EdF. You can read translations of the ASN's letters to EdF and Areva here, here and here.
Amazingly though, it seems like EdF will be allowed to carry on in the same slipshod way as before. Nothing much seems to have changed on the reactor site, which means we still don't know the following:
- Whether the defective concrete will be destroyed and replaced
- Whether the welding company making the liners been officially chastised and if their defective welds been replaced
- If all companies working on site now have proper certification to be carrying out this project (I would have guessed this was the first question EdF thought to ask...)
- If a proper project management system has been set up to ensure nothing like this happens ever again
Because of this we don't think the ASN should have even considered re-opening the Flamanville site. So at around 5am yesterday our activists arrived in front of the 3 quarries and using chains, lockers and barrels blocked the entrances, hung up banners saying "EPR: le grand Bluff" and generally shut things down. We plan on being there for as long as we possibly can. Watch this space. For more on the EPR read our factsheet (pdf) and for regular updates from the cheval's mouth read the Greenpeace France webpage.
In places like France and Finland the EPR has already been dogged by massive construction delays and huge cost overruns. You have to ask yourself, wouldn't companies be better off spending all this money on renewables and CHP?
Elsewhere in the atomic world, five nuclear warning sirens failed to sound during a test in the suburbs of New York. But don't worry, they're only meant to sound when the Indian Point reactors go into meltdown.

Jasper is very crooked!
Last year I blew the motor in my RV. We decided to go with a Jasper motor because they told me for the almost $5000 dollars i paid for the motor it had a parts & Labor warranty for 18 months or so many miles. I have less than 1000 miles on the new motor. I was driving it home from Florida when the motor starts making a wicked slapping noise and shaking all over the place. Long story short ended up at a mechanic, Mechanic Says the head gaskets went due to stretched head bolts. Jaspers says they will only cover parts.
In my experience the only way to stretch head bolts is to improperly torque them when the motor assembled.... Correct? So would this not be Jaspers Fault as they assembled the motor? Now a $9400 dollar motor is turning into a $9400 motor + $2500 in repairs + the cost of the lawyer to sue Jasper.
What else would cause the head bolts to stretch??? Any advise would be appreciated as I need to be as knowledgeable as possible if I end up in small claims court suing for just the repairs... Thanks in advance.
Is this a Chevy engine? I`m not sure about other makes but I`ve reused chevy head bolts countless times and never had a issue.
Sorry... This is a Ford 460 on a John Deere chassis, with a carb.
Yea, Jasper engines suck- this is one of those times where askign around more would have been worth it. I worked at a shop and one customer insisted their fleet get Jasper engines- we refused to warrenty anything as they are crap. They're assembled suing the cheapest parts available.
man that really blows, i never knew jasper was like that, being as big a name as they are, good luck with the suit, if you can sue them for the lawyer fee's as well, after all if it weren't for them you wouldn't have had to hire a lawyer so shouldn't they be held responsible for that expense too
Note the exception for motorhomes:
"Maximum of 25 hours" lifetime.
That seems pretty short, since that's only 1400 miles if you drive a constant 55 MPH. At 50 MPH it's only 1250 miles. It DOES say that they cover parts and labor, however.
As for the stretched head bolts, I'd get a second opinion. The Ford 460 doesn't used torque-to-yield head bolts. You are correct in that if they really are stretched (and it isn't clear how you can prove that), it's a problem with the engine you got (assuming you bought a long block). How did the mechanic determine that the bolts were stretched as opposed to any one of a dozen other reasons for a blown head gasket?
In any case, it sounds like there is a big disconnect between what you may have been told about the warranty and what they say in writing as far as motorhome use is concerned.
See if you can determine the source of the bolts. Could be that Jasper used cheezy offshore hardware that had inferior metallurgy.
Unforuately the rv is in WV and I am back in NY... I can already sense I am gonna get this right up the you know what... end up paying for the repair and just waiting for the next time this crappy motor decided to **** the bed! My soon to be wife hates the damn thing as it is... Anyone wanna buy an RV with a fresh motor?

Im compiling a custom test kernel instead. MWAHAHAHAHA!
Kernel Compiled. Kernel Boots. Kernel Runs. ro.secure set to 0, debuggable set to 1, adb set to 1, ITS OURS!!! except rotation is wonky. And no Wifi. >_> Working on it now. Next step is to patch the kernel or something. Usb Host enabled in software now, and a usb mount point is included for you usb stick lovers. Soon. Very, very, soon. Edit: You must choose, Usb host support, or the ability to access the sd card from computer. as of right now, they are mutually exclusive... Sigh.

The Long Fall (edition 2009)
by Walter Mosley
Work details
The Long Fall by Walter Mosley
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Trying to go semi-straight he gets drawn in to multiple murders.
Mosley;s characters, no matter how improbable to a middle-class retiree, ring true. His dialogue, no matter how didactic, works. His mix of small detail, no matter how forced, works. This book burns through too quickly. It was not written to ponder, but to sprint. I wish I had a low gear I could force when reading.
Leonid McGill (LT) is a private investigator who used to work for gansters but changed his ways and now does legitimate work. His current job is to find 4 men who were friends as teenagers, which he does. Then, each friend is getting murdered one-by-one. LT has a conscious now and has to investigate why. In the meantime, a gangster asks him to do a job and doesn't want to take no for an answer. Then he finds out his son is planning to help out a girlfriend whose father has been sexually abusing her. The son is planning to kill the father. LT has a lot to deal with.
There was a lot going on in this book and at times was a bit confusing with quite a few different characters. However, LT has a good heart despite the bad past. He's funny at times when he uses a fake name and occupation to help him get to the information he needs. He often quotes his communist father's philosophy which LT always disagrees with. He's tough when he needs to be and keeps up with his training as a boxer to be able to back up the toughness. Overall, I enjoyed LT and his ups and downs as a PI and in his personal life.
I've only read one other book by Walter Mosley that I can recall, The Man in my Basement. I enjoyed it greatly, and wanted to pick up some more books by him, but there are so many books, and so little time.
I found this gem alredy in my bookcase, probably from some long-ago sale. Once again, my instincts for good writing came through.
This is the first of the Leonid McGill series, and I can't wait to get some more of them. Mosley brings to life a private eye that should be washed up: almost sixty, in a loveless marriage, trying to stay out of real trouble, raising 3 kids, two of whom he knows aren't his. McGill should be looking forward to death, by most standards. Yet Mosley shows the reader that the spark of life need not fade, even as the fear of Judgment looms.
Mosley has also done a great job of drawing the secondary characters, his "son" Twill and his lover Aura. And the specter of McGill's father, long gone, lives large in his son's mind day to day.
We spend a lot of time in McGill's mind, and it's a fascinating place. I look forward to visiting it again soon.

Leonid McGill, a New York City private detective, tries to put his past life behind him. But it's not that easy when someone like Tony "The Suit" Towers expects you to do a job; when an Albany PI hires you to track down four men known only by their youthful street names; and when your 16-year-old son, Twill, is getting in over his head with a suicidal girl.… (more)

Hubby made clam chowder tonight. In the excitement of someone else cooking, I forgot to take a picture (sorry). Oh, and if you're looking for that abomination with tomatoes in it, you're not going to find it here.
Here's what he did:
Peel and dice 2 large Russet potatoes, along with some onion and celery. Saute everything for a while in a soup pot in some canola oil (I would've used olive), then dump it into a holding vessel. Make a roux with butter and flour in the soup pot (maybe 6T each, I wasn't really watching), then add 2 bottles of strained clam juice and about 1 quart of non-fat milk. Bring to a simmer very slowly, stirring constantly.
When it's simmering gently, add in 3 cans of rinsed chopped clams (liquid saved to add later if you want). Simmer for about 30 minutes, until it's thickened nicely and the potatoes are cooked to the point of almost falling apart. Salt and pepper to taste. We like a lot of pepper.
If it's too thin, add a little more roux. If it's too thick, add some of the reserved clam liquid.
Serve, topped with oyster crackers and crumbled bacon (my contribution - you didn't think I could stay out of the kitchen, did you?).

Non-Food Post - Let There Be Light!
OK, this may indirectly be food-related. Because now that there's light in my kitchen, I may actually be able to take better pictures. Or not.
The lights in my kitchen had been buzzing for quite some time. At first I thought it was the bulbs, since two of them would flicker or not come on at all. So I borrowed a couple bulbs from work to check. Well, guess what? I've probably got the only kitchen in town with 6 foot fluorescent bulbs, instead of 4 foot. So off to Home Depot to buy 6 footers. Apparently 6 foot bulbs are pretty rare, because they had about 10 boxes each of 4 and 8 foot bulbs, and one lonely box of 6 foot ones. Got my bulbs home, got the stupid plastic grates out (what a pain!), new bulbs in, and....still buzzed.
OK, so it was probably the ballast. Bulbs out. Metal cover off (poor fingers). Bulbs in. Switch on. Buzz. Coming from the ballast. Yup. OK, get a new ballast. Easy, right? Nope. This one's 30 years old. Find an equivalent. Not so easy. Find an equivalent of an equivalent and pray it works.
So the "equivalent" shows up, and I'm immediately worried. It's shorter. That's going to be a problem. And the current rating on the new one says 0.91A, the old one says 1.45A. Hmm...And what's this? The new one has 2 blue wires. The old one only has one. Oh well, what's the worst that could happen?
So, armed with wire nuts, wire cutters, pliers, a drill, a screwdriver, and a couple screws, I got to work. Cut the old wires, stripped them back 1/4". Red to red, blue to blue (well, one of them, anyway).
Black to...crap. Can't reach. Black and white weren't long enough to test the new ballast without removing the old one from the fixture and putting up the new one. I grabbed the pliers and removed the screw holding the old ballast to the fixture. Slipped the new one into the metal tabs, marked the points where I had to drill, drilled a couple primer holes through the fixture and into the ceiling, slid the new ballast in, screwed in the screws.
Black to black, white to white.
Bulbs in. The moment of truth...
Hubby came home and said "you're in charge of all electrical stuff from now on."

Split Pea Soup, Revisited
Every time I cook a ham, I make split pea soup. Which means I make it about twice a year, once after Easter, and once after Thanksgiving and/or Christmas (or both, if I'm lucky!).
With the crappy rainy weather we've been having, yesterday was the perfect day for pulling Thanksgiving's ham bone out of the freezer. Split pea soup couldn't be simpler. You can saute your veggies if you want, but you don't have to. Don't have a carrot? Leave it out. Let it get too thick? Add some water. Not a lot of meat leftover on the bone? Chop up a ham steak, or some kielbasa like I did this time. Easy peas-y. (Sorry)
My "secret" is to add about 1/4 to 1/2 of a teaspoon of curry powder to the soup. Not enough to really taste it, but just enough to give the soup a little something. I also add a little thyme. But shh, don't tell my husband, or he won't eat it.
I have a problem photographing split pea soup in its finished state. So here it is mid-simmer. Pretty colors, huh? It's amazing what a few new light bulbs in your kitchen will do.
Split Pea Soup, version 12/12/09
1 leftover ham bone
1 carrot, diced fine
1 stalk celery, diced fine
1/2 onion, diced fine
1 clove garlic, diced fine
1/2 t curry powder
1/4 t thyme
black pepper
1 bag of split peas, rinsed
1/2 link kielbasa sausage, chopped into small pieces
a handful of parsley, chopped
a handful of celery leaves, chopped
Place the ham bone in a large pot and barely cover with water. Bring to a boil and simmer slightly aggressively for about 30 minutes, skimming any nastiness. Remove the bone, let it sit until it's cool enough to handle, then remove any meat and chop into little pieces. Return the bone to the pot and continue to boil while you prepare the vegetables.
Saute the veggies in a little olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the curry powder and thyme and a lot of black pepper. Scrape the veggies into the pot of water, and add the peas. Bring back to a boil, cover mostly, and simmer gently until the peas are about half-cooked. At this point, add the chopped up ham and sausage, and the parsley and celery leaves, and continue to simmer until the peas are completely cooked and have fallen apart, and your soup is the proper split pea soup consistency.
Taste, add more black pepper if you want (I did), and salt if necessary (it wasn't because of the sausage). Serve with crusty bread or oyster crackers. Or those large gumball-shaped hard crackers you can break a crown on, I think they're called wine crackers - love them in soup.

Vietnamese Spring Rolls
I finally made Vietnamese Spring Rolls, or Goi Cuon!
I used Youki brand rice paper wrappers, and since this was my first experience with rice paper, I have no idea if that's a good brand or not. All the recipes I read online said soak the wrappers in water for 2-5 seconds. I did that, and said, "Huh, it doesn't seem soft enough." (As if I had any idea what I was doing.) So I soaked it longer. The wrapper then proceeded to tear, stick, and be otherwise ornery. So then I tried 5 seconds. Worked like a charm after that, just like making a burrito.
I stuffed them with shrimp, green leaf lettuce (not iceberg!), bean sprouts, carrots, cucumber, green onion, cilantro and mint. I also threw in some cooked Mai Fun rice sticks because I couldn't find bean threads. I would've loved some roast pork, but no deli around here has it, and I wasn't about to roast some pork on a Tuesday night after working my ass off all day. More herbs would've been nice, like basil (but my plant died, I'm the only person in the world who can kill basil), or Vietnamese coriander (good luck finding that in a 30 mile radius!).
For a dipping sauce, I made hoisin peanut dipping sauce, courtesy of Todd and Diane from White on Rice Couple.
And who would've thought of this but a 14-year old obsessed with pasta, but leftover Mai Fun is pretty good with garlic, butter and parmesan.

Don't Look Down at the Top of the Eiffel Tower
23.10.2009 - 25.10.2009
View European Travel Map on jwinitaly's travel map.
Our trip to Paris began stressful, and with preconceptions from others exchange students of a snobby dirty city, we seemed to be off on the wrong foot.
The stress developed when Jesann was late to meet us on the way to the airport. We left the night before to spend the night in the airport because our flight left so early the following morning. It was the only choice considering our airport was nearly three hours away and the trams and shuttle buses didn't leave earlier than 6 am. We had thought that the last shuttle arrived at 11:15 that night, but luckily it left at 11:30. Jesann made it to the minute on the bus, and Marah held it while we went to find her. Talk about cutting it close.
Our slumber party at the airport was another story. It started off with a satisfying Ritz cracker binge and then took a turn for the worse. We naively decided to go to a warmer empty area of Bergamo airport to have our three hour sleep. By sleep I mean nap.
I woke up to Marah freaking out "He touched me!" and looking up to see a guy in my face as well trying to grab my hat. I cursed at him, and he spat out everything from "F$%# Italy" to "I love you". We moved immediately to the safer sleeping area abundant with other devoted discount travelers. Needless to say though, I kept on the lookout for more weirdos until my eyelids became unwillingly weighed down like an Italian mob victim in cement shoes.
Apart from the scary passengers, our discount airline Ryan Air wasn't so bad. We were expecting poor service and quality, and we were paranoid about getting ripped off. We took precautions and followed the luggage restrictions a little safer than necessary and had our boarding passes preprinted. The only real problem we had was the shuttle buses that we hadn't anticipated on taking. The flights fly in and out of distant airports, so it's necessary to take shuttle buses on both ends, both directions. It added not only unexpected costs to our too good to be true 50 Euro flight, but time that we could have spent in Paris.
We arrived at our hostel that Friday morning exhausted. We were surprised to find that we had to check in with a bartender as opposed to the more common receptionist at a desk. Our hostel fittingly called "Peace and Love Hostel" consisted of a bar and rooms above it. I got a "Cheers" vibe from it when our friendly bartenders gave us free shots/beer and great travelling tips over the course of the weekend. One even looked out for us when creepers hit on a couple of the girls and advised us not to go to the Red Light District after dark (being young girls). Gotta love hippy love! I later noticed that the unique hostel is listed in my Lonely Planet book, so my faith in my travel companion continues to grow.
After checking in, we set off on foot in Paris. The first thing I noticed were the old fashioned signs that adorn the streets. I always loved that style, and I didn't realize that it has been preserved so well in Paris. We wandered to a not so authentic Mexican restaurant. We were only disappointed until we found our second Starbucks in Europe. Oh hail globalization. Starbucks is very consistent and charges the same price all around the world – too bad 4.70 for a Vanilla Latte in Euros is NOT the same as 4.70 in Canadian dollars. I still feel that the value was there.
With warm fuzzy feelings from Starbucks, we started our Parisian tour at the Cathedrale de Notre Dame de Paris. We couldn't find it at first as everything is very spread out and equally as beautiful in the "City of Lights". We ended up at a church near the Louvre, and it seemed I had overestimated the size of the church, but it was very beautiful. After taking a million photos of it, we realized it was the wrong church – go figure.
After our second attempt, we were sure we were in the right place by the amount of tourists and people trying to take advantage of the tourists. Real gypsies filtered through the courtyard of Notre Dame, and a man dressed up as a "Hunchback" stood in front taking donations for photographs with him. Esmeralda was nowhere to be seen. The church had free entry which pleasantly surprised me. I always think to myself, donations sure, but admission to a church? It's not a circus!
Candle light created an ambience throughout the whole church. It was difficult to take photos, but it seemed degrading anyway. My favourite part of the church was the ceiling. It arched with a crisscrossing detail that can only be seen to understand. The stained glass windows were impressively large and high up. The detail in the whole church was captivating from the outside to the inside, from the entrance to the baseboards. The atmosphere of the church was peaceful and calming, and I could feel why it is so famous. I did however have a stray thought of a boy throwing a baseball through one of the beautiful windows. I quickly dismissed it, but it could happen!
We left before I was struck by lightning. We walked for at least an hour in suspense to find the Tour Eiffel. At first sight of it, I couldn't stop thinking about a quote from my Lonely Planet guide book "Parisians sometimes snidely refer to it as the metal asparagus…" It really does look like it from far away!
As anticlimactic as it seemed on the journey toward it, I was blown away by the Eiffel Tower up close. I guess if you looked at Brad Pitt from far away he wouldn't seem overly special. The beauty is in the presence. We timed our elevator ride to the top perfectly. It was a gorgeous day around 5 pm. I signed my name on a billboard at midway point. I've never seen a view like that, but to be honest, it made my stomach flip. If people were made to be up that high, we would have wings. Whether it be evolution or God-given, we would have wings!
I digress. We took photos around the Eiffel tower at dusk. We were excited to take photos of us jumping, until I found out that I am the worst jumper in the world. "Lift your legs and you don't even have to jump high" advised Jesann. I swear that I was, but the photos don't lie.
The last view of the Eiffel Tower we had was it orange and twinkling in the dark like a sparkler on the 4th of July. I'll never forget that.
That night we enjoyed some French cuisine and went to bed early. After at least 8 hours of exploring Paris on foot with four hours of sleep on an airport floor, bus, and airplane, 6 hours of travel, we were done! We had one beer in the hostel bar and called it a night.
We all slept like babies. We woke up to rain, but we didn't mind because we had planned to go to the Louvre. We stood in line for what seemed like forever, but as a consolation we got in for free for being EU Students! I was so thankful I had brought my Cattolica student card. The museum was huge. You go downstairs and are covered in the famous glass pyramid. It is neat because it illuminates the whole inside lobby. Divided into five areas, we easily got lost in a mere two of them.
The Mona Lisa was way smaller than I thought. Though come to think of it, I do remember hearing that before. She was adored from afar behind glass in a roped off area, and I wondered if Leonardo Da Vinci ever knew she would be so lonely. We saw Egyptian artifacts, paintings, sculptures, Napoleon's apartment, and the Venus de Milo. Although I may not have understood where most of the artists were coming from, or possess any talent comparable, I got a real natural high just sensing the passion throughout the museum. It was a wonderful experience.
After the Louvre, we walked through the Jardin de Tuileries. They weren't nearly as beautiful on a rainy day as they could have been. The fall leaves did enhance the experience though. We explored the elegance of Champs Elyse, and envied the Louis Vuiton manikins. The Arch de Triomph was beautiful at the end of the road.
Before dark, we ventured to the Red Light District. The atmosphere is so different from the rest of Paris. First of all, there is porn everywhere. There are naked statues, posters, even a sex museum that had a chair with revolving tongues in the window. People look at you differently, everything. I forgot it all though once I saw the Moulin Rouge- one of my favourite movies that managed to make a brothel seem glamorous. I didn't get quite the same feel as I did from Ewan McGregar, but I loved it! The bright lights were so stunning with the windmill. I wish I could have seen a cabaret show, but they were 90 Euros. The Moulin Rouge was one of the things I really wanted to see on my "To Do" list, so it seemed surreal to me.
That evening we had the perfect dinner with wine, escargot, and French onion soup. The escargot literally came in the shell. I was nervous! It was delicious though, and Elysha and I wanted more! It was difficult to get them out of the shell. I was worried I'd pull a Julia Roberts in "Pretty Woman" and flick it across the room, so our waiter agreed to lend a hand.
We partied in our hostel on our last night. We played giant drinking Jenga, and I was stoked that there was a block designated to "Canada Drink". We ordered a tower of beer and spilled it all over each other. The bartender must have taken pity on us because he gave us free beer and shots the rest of the night.
Getting up to leave at 4 am was not fun. To get home we had to go through the woods, swim the ocean, climb the hills, under the bridge, through the valley, etc. No haha, but we did have to: take a taxi at 4, a shuttle at 5:30, a plane at 8, another shuttle at 10, a metro at 11:30, and our tram home by 12:30. What a journey. We made it home though fluently by 5 different forms of transportation. The Ryan Air experience in a nutshell.
I loved Paris! I wish we could have stayed for so much longer! Honestly, I would have preferred to study abroad there, but I knew that from the beginning. If only Mrs. McDonald, my 9th grade French teacher didn't ruin my passion for learning the language, I may have done it. It's funny how things work out that way.
I hope that this blog can be proof that Paris is amazing! I don't know why I've heard "It's dirty", "the people are snobby", etc., but let this be a testament to how wrong they are. One guy even gave Jesann his broken umbrella while we stood in line for the Louvre because she didn't have one! I would go back in a heartbeat, and I'm going to bust out a cliché in protest of the anti-Parisians…"J'adore Paris!!!"
Miss you guys,
Love Jess

Ditto the WOOOOWWWWW!!!!
Those are just incredible MonCal! Beautiful and practical!
Ditto the WOOOOWWWWW!!!!
Those are just incredible MonCal! Beautiful and practical!
Awesome! So, you casted the spike cover as one piece with the spike? confused... Oh, and are ya gonna paint it, rub n buff er...?
Niiiice ! (said in a low smoldering voice)
Sooo.....any package deal if we order the shins AND the foot pieces?
We can order shins?!? Man i dont read threads properly lol To be honest Im usually a bit wary when i see people offer things on here as sometimes i feel they are offering them to friends on here rather than .. .well ... me LOL
Shins and Toeguards .... drool ... now if i can just slip buying the boots past my other half ill be well away teehee
Thanks a bunch guys!! For the smallest piece, it's been literally a pain in the rear
Yeah, the spike and holder are one piece.
Here is one fresh out of the mold before trimming:
The spike section is supposed to be the amber color.
For weathering, I stained them with shoe polish. Ya know how pics wash these details out sometimes It fastens to the toe guard with screws and is easily replaced if ever lost. The plastic gets harder as it cures and since I screw it on when it's still pretty soft, it'll become even harder to unscrew.
I'm not completely sure about package deals but .... we'd have to see I don't usually advertise blatantly but I'm willing to talk via pm's and such
These shins take a long time to make and the materials aren't cheap. The toe guards / spikes aren't too tough though.
Last edited by MonCal; Jan 19, 2005 at 12:02 AM.
Finally finished another set of toe guards
Awesome .... as usual!
Looks great! How are you getting the toe guards to mount to the top of the shoe?
Well, actually the best thing I can think of is industrial velcro. I don't really want to cut the shoe in order to get inside. I could fiberglass an attachment to the underside of the guard but there is no way to get down inside the toe of the shoe. I'll just have to see.
I don't want to glue them on cause I want to be able to fix them if a spike does happen to pop off....... I don't think they will but there is a chance.
We attached our toe guards to the boots with good ole' "goop". We glued them on last St. Paddy's day. She really put them to the test at C3 for 3 eight hour stretches. Since then, she's worn the suit to probably 20 or 25 events including very crowded bars on halloween. They're still holding up very solidly!!!
Goop is awesome. I always carry a small tube when trooping. Whether I have it in my Fett pocket or tape it inside my TK helmet, it always comes in handy when someone falls apart
MonCal your stuff is amazing!! Your quite the talented chap!
Thanks! I appreciate it.goldenrod said:

Pink Faces $36,000 Lawsuit
It's no secret that her career has blown up to epic proportions over the past 12 years, and now Pink could be stuck with a $36,000 unpaid royalty bill.
The "Raise Your Glass" songstress is being sued by former producers who claim she shorted them out of earnings from her Can't Take Me Home debut album.
Specialists Entertainment insists Pink never compensated them their percentage from her tracks "Can't Take Me Home," and "Hiccup."
However, a spokesperson for the "So What" singer countered, "Her record company Sony is responsible for paying the producers."

So hey, guess what didn't happen today?
No upgrade to the Apple TV software (which is basically a special version of iOS). No Apple TV SDK for app developers. Zilch. An entire section of the 2 hour keynote presentation focused on iOS and products like the iPhone and iPad, but the Apple TV was shown just a brief moment of love — a few seconds where the new AirPlay mirroring feature in Mountain Lion was demoed.
Does this spell the end for Apple's rumored push into television? I don't think so. Apple likes to put a focus on media in the fall, and that might be a great time to blow the doors open on some Apple TV changes and help move some units going into the holiday season. Or Apple could just keep teasing everyone with it. Either or.
(Quick sidenote: Check out this article from AllThingsD's Peter Kafka about how the Apple TV revolution might actually come in the form of AirPlay and app-mirroring — a damn good theory.)
I'm pretty impressed with the changes coming in iOS — specifically the way Siri's knowledge is being beefed up. As a sports fan, I'll definitely be making use of Siri's new ability to fill you in on scores and stats. The ability to tweet using Siri also made it into iOS 6 — a welcome addition, and one that was inexplicably left out of iOS 5. Siri also makes the jump to the 3rd generation iPad (which is the one thing I predicted correctly out of 603 words).
On the notebook side of things, the spec bumps for the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro lines are pretty par for the course. They usually get an annual refresh, and this was it. The next-generation MacBook Pro, though — wow. Apple went all out, and it shows in the $2199 price tag. On one hand, I know people are going to pay that, and I know the margins on the new MBP are likely huge and Apple will be just fine. But it's a bit baffling that Apple would stick hard to a $499 iPad price point, but let the MacBook Pro's price get out of hand.
Mountain Lion got a significant amount of time in the spotlight, too. OS X and iOS continue to bleed together, as Messages, Notes, Reminders, Game Center, and Notification Center make their way into Apple's desktop operating system. The ability to use AirPlay to mirror your computer's screen to an Apple TV might be the most interesting addition, and one that Hulu might not be too pleased about.
Overall, WWDC's 2012 keynote brought some cool new features to both OS X Mountain Lion and iOS 6, and provided some nice spec bumps to the notebook lines. I'm still not sold on the new MacBook Pro, but we'll have to wait and see how it's received and check back on it in a quarter or two.

The Hill does its best to confuse the Chamber of Commerce issue
Blog ››› ››› ERIC BOEHLERT
Honestly, stuff like this will just make your head hurt.
Headline from The Hill:
Democrats have raised $1 million from foreign-affiliated PACs
Democratic leaders in the House and Senate criticizing GOP groups for allegedly funneling foreign money into campaign ads have seen their party raise more than $1 million from political action committees affiliated with foreign companies.
See the obvious dots that The Hill is trying to connect? It's trying to suggest because Democrats have accused GOP-friendly attack groups, such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, of possibly using money foreign donations to help influence U.S. elections in the form of paying for relentless attacks ads targeting Democrats, that there's some double standard in play because Democrats have cashed checks from "foreign-affiliated" PACs.
But of course there's no comparison between the two. None.
The questions that continue to swirl around the Chamber revolve around unknown donors who may live in foreign countries giving undisclosed amounts.
As for the PACs in question? Behold [emphasis added]:
The PACS are funded entirely by contributions from U.S. employees of subsidiaries of foreign companies. All of the contributions are made public under Federal Elections Commission rules, and the PACs affiliated with the subsidiaries of foreign corporations are governed by the same rules that American firms' PACs or other PACs would face.
Like I said, this is The Hill trying to connect non-existent dots. And I'm sure the GOP and right-wing bloggers are happy to watch.

How do you play Magic Johnson, one of the most famous and familiar athletes in the world, on Broadway? "Very carefully," answers actor Kevin Daniels.
The producers of the new Broadway show, MAGIC BIRD, are announcing today that the 35-year old Daniels is being cast to play the former Los Angeles Lakers superstar. He'll act alongside Tug Coker who'll play Larry Bird. The play opens in New York City in Spring, 2012.
The 6-foot-5 Daniels says he's studying tapes of Magic to capture the smile and personality of the Lakers legend.
"He just has a beautiful presence. He's confident, self-assured, disarming. He's a guy at ease with himself. He's just happy about life."
Daniels grew up in Texas while Johnson's a Michigan native. But he notes the Lakers legend has a slight drawl on some pronunciations which will be a challenge to capture. Daniels played some basketball in high school. But the current LA resident and Lakers fan was drawn to acting from early on.
Producers Fran Kirmser and Tony Ponturo say the most widely asked question through pre-production is who's going to play Magic. When Daniels showed up in New York City for auditions, he saw some wanna-be Magics who were much taller than him. But most of them were former college basketball players who didn't have his acting experience.
Johnson himself gives the Daniels pick his blessing in a written statement, saying: "Kevin Daniels is a great choice to play me and I look forward to his electric performance on the stage."
Kirmser and Ponturo also produced the Broadway play, LOMBARDI, about former Green Bay Packers coach Vince Lombardi.

Why Doesn't My Rye Bread Rise?
I must be doing something wrong. I can make homemade white bread perfectly, but when I go to make breads from other grains like rye and whole wheat, the loaves either rise very little or not at all - they look sad.lol. I have tried using 50% all purpose flour 50% rye (or other grain) & the loaves just sit there & do nothing. What am I doing wrong?? Thanks

These are things I teach in my bread class that may help with your rye breads.
- A characteristic of rye in dough is to make the dough very sticky. People often compensate for the stickiness by adding more flour during kneading. This can lead to an under-hydrated dough which will get your a "brick" nearly every time you make bread. Always err on the side of a wet (well-hydrated) dough. Dry dough will bake into a brick.
- Using 50% rye flour is a VERY high percentage of low-gluten flour in a recipe. You'll need to add some vital wheat gluten, as homesteadmamma suggested. There's probably not enough gluten to raise the loaf as high as you are accustomed to when making white bread.
- When you add the flour to the liquid mixture, make sure you add the high-gluten flour first (bleached/unbleached all-purpose or bread flour milled from wheat or whole wheat flour). You will need to hydrate the gluten in the wheat flour and make sure you do a lot of mixing to develop gluten while the mixture is still in the bowl. Low-gluten and non-gluten flours only need to get hydrated, they don't require the gluten development in the bowl and kneading that high-gluten flours do.
Mixing in the bowl is an important part of gluten development people often do a poor job on by mixing too quickly. If you toss out a sticky, shaggy, mess of dough out on the counter to knead, you haven't done a good job of mixing. A Danish dough whisk is the BEST tool to use for mixing dough by hand. It may take as many as 400-500 strokes (or more) using the spoon/Danish whisk to develop the gluten in the flour while you are slowly adding the flour to the liquid ingredients. Add a small portion of the high-gluten flour and beat it until it's all incorporated into the liquid ingredients. Add another small portion of the flour and beat. You beat the dough with the spoon/Danish whisk until you don't have the strength to beat it anymore. THEN you can place it on the counter/bread board and begin kneading. The better the job you do with mixing and developing the gluten while the dough is in the mixing bowl, the less time you will spend kneading. If you get tired during mixing, it's okay to stop and rest a few minutes before you resume beating. The rest will allow the gluten to hydrate.
Once the high-gluten flour is well-blended with the liquid ingredients and well-mixed, THEN you can add the low- or non-gluten flour/s to the point where you have a soft dough.
- If you have problems with the stickiness of the dough because of the rye flour, you can toss the dough in a large freezer-style zip-lock bag (freezer bags are thicker and better for this use), press out as much air as possible and zip it closed. Knead the dough from the outside of the bag to keep from adding too much flour. You can open the bag and add flour or water if you need to adjust the hydration of the dough. When you are done kneading, push the dough to one side of the bag and turn the bag inside out to remove the dough. Toss the bag. This is ONE bag you won't want to clean out..... There are special gloves designed to use with sticky doughs, like rye, but they are very expensive compared to a plastic storage bag.
You can also knead/handle the dough with wet hands, instead of additions of flour. Keep a bowl of water handy for dipping your hands in, rather than adding more flour to the dough during kneading. Towards the end of kneading, you can also oil your hands to keep the dough from sticking to your hands.
- You don't say what type of rye flour you are using. The type can make a difference in appropriate percentage of rye flour to use in a recipe.
*Light (or white) rye is a 75% extraction of the grain (the bran and germ have been removed and only the best (starchy) portion of the endosperm is used to mill this flour). You can use up to 40% of this type of rye flour, along with high-gluten bread flour, without a major loss of loaf volume.
*Medium Rye is an 87% extraction. Use up to 30% blend with high-gluten bread flour.
*Dark rye is 100% extraction (the entire grain is milled into flour with nothing from the grain removed). Limit this type of rye flour to 20% of the flour volume.
You can compensate for larger percentages of rye flour by adding vital wheat gluten - BUT - too much gluten will cause the loaf to be tough.

I like my 442 and IMO, that's a pretty good deal if you can get a new one for $349.

I'm looking to buy a snubby 38 with the intent to add it to my CCW permit. I have pretty much narrowed it down to either the S&W 442 and the Ruger LCR. I can get either one for 399 and S&W is having a $50 mail in rebate now so the 442 would be 349. As far as the guns themselves go they are almost identical in size and the LCR only weighs 1.5oz less then the 442. I have shot a friend's 442 and liked it pretty well and did ok with the 20 rounds I shot. I have not had a chance to shoot the LCR but plan to rent one before making a final decision. I currently own an Taurus 605 that I do not want to carry since it's heavy and I'm looking for a lightweight BUG. Anyone have experience with these 2 revolvers that can give me advice? I know either one would be a good choice, just looking for opinions from people who own either gun. Thanks in advance!

I like the LCR better than the 442. The trigger is a lot smoother.
That being said, I bought the S&W 638. I really like the shrouded hammer since it allows the option for SA. I added a Crimson Trace LaserGrip and it's a very accurate gun. I really don't think you would be unhappy with either, but definitely to rent the LCR. One more thing to mention is that there are a lot more accessories (speedloaders, grips, etc.) for the S&W J-Frames since they have been around a lot longer.
Bought my wife a Ruger LCR in .38 Special, and I have to say it is a great little revolver. It is definitely turning me into a wheelgun fan. Hers has the Hogue grip, and even shooting +Ps through it, the recoil is not bad at all. Heck, my 10 year old niece shot it the last time we took it out. I put it in my pocket in a Blackhawk! nylon holster, and just about forget it is there. The one thing I am not crazy about is that standard speedloaders do not work well with it, due to the size of the grip sticking out where the speedloader needs to go. I think they have fixed this with the newer guns, but I have just been using Bianchi speedstrips, and they do well once you get used to them.

I just bought a S&W 442 and I love it. Nonetheless, I think that the Ruger LCR is better since it has better sights, is lighter, better trigger and handles recoil better. If you do get the 442, make sure you change the grips on the gun and install Wolff springs and dry fire it a lot to smooth out the trigger. The recoil on a lightweight snub nose revolver is very significant so make sure you try one before you buy it.

Thanks for the tips so far guys! I shot 38+p in my friend's gun and didn't mind the recoil at all. My primary carry gun is my Glock 36 and the 442 is no worse than the lightweight 45. I am hoping to rent an LCR next week to try it out before I make a final decision.
I think you'll be impressed with the LCR. The recoil on it seems to come straight back rather than muzzle flip and the trigger is so smooth it'll surprise you.

Ruger LCR, much smoother trigger and only weighs 13.5 ounces..theres also a 3 grip choices now for the LCR.i believe the Hogue Tamer Grip is the newest..less bulky then the Hogue Boot Grip,or you can get the Crimson Trace Laser Grip..
The Smith j-frames has been made for 50+ so I think they got them right. My choice is the 442.
"If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking" - George S. Patton.
I have the 642 S&W now, you can see on my signature below I used to have the LCR. I did not like the LCR it seemed to recoil more or maybe a better statement would be it had more muzzle flip. I will have to say the 642/442 is a better choice for me for fit and I like a all metal revolver. I have a clip draw on order for it and will carry it in the waste band or pocket carry. see link for clip draw.
You can't go wrong with a Smith & Wesson wheel gun. That's why I have 3 of them (638, 438, M&P 340)
Colt New Agent, Dan Wesson V-Bob, Glock 19,20SF, 23, 26, 27, 29, 30SF, 36, Kahr P380 w/CT, PM9, PM45, CW9(SOLD), Kel-Tec P32, P3AT, PF9(SOLD), Kimber Ultra Crimson Carry II, Stainless Pro TLE/RL II (SOLD), Rohrbaugh R9s, Ruger LCP w/CT, LCR, SP101 S&W J-Frame 638 w/CT, M&P 340 w/CT, Walther PPK/S
You can't go wrong with either. My police students seem to be choosing the Ruger as an ankle gun. I intend to follow suit.
They're both great. I opted for the 442, and haven't looked back

love love love my LCR. I sold my Sig p238 to get something more reliable for pocket carry and the LCR does just fine. I think either gun would be a good choice but I bet the LCR with the Hogue grip would be more comfortable to shoot.
I am sure if you have been on this forum for more than a week you already know that I am not a fan of the air weights. I believe the 649 is the Ultimate pocket wheel gun for a BUG or Primary, it is that good. If the weight is that much of a negative to you check out the S&W 638. But if a few ounces is going to ruin your day maybe you may want to rethink carrying in general. If you are sold on the airweights please practice and practice often. Get use to the snappy recoil and be able to deliver quick double taps to COM. I am not against airweights for expierenced, but I am against the gun mags and gun shop commandos recommending them to the new shooter or person just getting into CCing. Most of the air weights sold to people like this end up sitting in a night stand and seldom if ever practiced with. Mine rides nice in a Mika pocket holster, round cut for jeans and a square cut for slacks.
