What in the world makes your 220 worth 1300?
This is a discussion on Help me chose! I am 50/50 right now!! within the Defensive Rifles & Shotgun Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; I have been thinking for a few weeks of trading my Sig P220 for a S&W MP15 assault rifle. I love my Sig P220 to ...
I have been thinking for a few weeks of trading my Sig P220 for a S&W MP15 assault rifle. I love my Sig P220 to death but I have wanted an AR for a very, VERY, long time! What are your opinions on the M&P15 and maybe a different choice of AR. I believe the value on my P220 now is around 1300, I could chip in a little of my own money but I would like to stick close to the 1300 dollar range!

What in the world makes your 220 worth 1300?
"Just blame Sixto"
I reserve the right to make fun, point and laugh etc.
Elite stainless, trijicon night sights, Rosewood grips, SRT, and I am trading the TLR-1s with it too.

What I am looking for is a quad rail system already on it, folding sights so I can put my eotech on it and not have them in the way, and some where down the line put the eotech 3X magnifier on it. I want an AR that can be changed to how I want it, lights, grips, and any other toys I would like to throw on there.
And yea sadly I will get screwed on how much I get for it, that pistol is the best that it can get now short of putting a red dot sight on it. I think if I trade I may get 1000 down to 750 on it. I am being hopeful tho, I can always hope they come close to the value of it.
2nd Amendment, the one that protects the rest!
Any AR is going to be modular and able to be customized to how you want. The big question is how much go vs. show do you want. I mean you can buy some off brand hunk of crap and put all kinds of stuff on it and it will look good, or you can spend the money right the first time on a solid rifle, bolt carrier and worry about the bling later. The M&P does fit the bill, but so do others, maybe even a little better.
Another factor that is often discounted on internet forums is local help. If your LGS is selling M&P's, I'd be more inclined to tell you to go with that because they will be much more willing to help you out on stuff that might come out rather than if you go at it alone and order the latest name trend off the internet. Just something to think about.
"Just blame Sixto"
I reserve the right to make fun, point and laugh etc.
I think that if you can trade your pistol for an M&P 15 then you are doing well. Good luck, I would trade that pistol away in a minute (if I really wanted an AR).
My name is Frogman46 and I'm tougher than you.
Huldra US made on the AR/M4 platform how ever piston rather than gas far better way of doing things will out last any gas drive one on the market And priced right.
If you really want that style weapon give the Huldra a look.
You're the only one that can decide as to if you should trade your pistol off or not. I'm assuming its not you're only one, if so then I wouldn't do that but if you have others and you can trade with no regrets then by all means do it. Even if you have to take a little off of your pistol, $700 (+ or -) puts you well on your way to getting a good rifle. The modularity of the AR platform is something that is going to allow you to adjust the rifle's configuration to your liking. So....if you do get a rifle and there's something about it that you don't like about it, then you can easily adjust it accordingly.
Please keep us up to date on your progress, I'd like to hear about it.
I just ordered a Colt 6720 for $950. I added a few things so it was a little more, but that was the price of the rifle itself. I have other rifles and my main rifle is a BCM. That will stay my main rifle though I'll likely use this Colt lower with that upper.
Right now is absolutely, without a doubt, the bes time to buy a Colt AR. Just last year they were selling for over $1,200. Their lowers have the best lower parts available as well as the best standard bolt carrier group. I prefer their receivers as well.
Anyway, that's just what I'd recommend.
Proven combat techniques may not be flashy and may require a bit more physical effort on the part of the shooter. Further, they may not win competition matches, but they will help ensure your survival in a shooting or gunfight on the street. ~Paul Howe
You're better off selling your 220 outright and then going AR shopping.
"There is a secret pride in every human heart that revolts at tyranny. You may order and drive an individual, but you cannot make him respect you." William Hazlitt (1778 - 1830)
Best Choices for Self Defense Ammunition
I'd jump on the AR, but that's because the AR or an AK is the next gun on my "to buy" list.
Trade it! I would take the ar in a heartbeat but then again I don't see what's so GREAT about a sig.....
You are MUCH more likely to need to use a handgun for defense than a rifle.
I say - keep the pistol. Save for the rifle.
And by the way - do you have a shotgun? I'd get a shotgun before any rifle, simply because I am more likely to need it.
Handgun = carry gun and movement inside the home.
Shotgun = static home defense
Rifle = area defense outside the home in a breakdown of law and order scenario (has happened, but not very likely)
Now, if you just WANT the rifle, and have other handguns, then that's a different story.
The number of people killed because they didn't have "enough gun" is dwarfed by those who had none at all.

I assign priorities to todo's. 1=do it today, 2=within 3 days, 3 within 1 week, 4= within 1 month
Can one somehow set the system up so these priorities change dependent on how long the duration between the date the todo was originally set for and today. So, for example, if I create a todo 7 days before it needs to be done with a priority of #3, can the priority be automatically changed after 4 days (i.e. 3 days before the deadline) to a priority of #2?

Brazil will stage unforgettable World Cup: CBF
(Reuters) - Brazil will stage an impeccable and unforgettable World Cup in 2014 despite sluggish preparations and disagreements between the government and FIFA, the head of the country's football confederation (CBF) Ricardo Teixeira said.
CBF president Teixeira's comments came after the government said on Saturday it would no longer deal with FIFA secretary-general Jerome Valcke, who had said 2014 organisers needed "a kick up the backside".
Valcke's comments marked a further escalation of a dispute that has simmered for years as stadiums, hotels, roads and other basic infrastructure for the 2014 Cup run badly behind schedule.
"FIFA's concerns in relation to the preparations for any World Cup are natural and legitimate," said Teixeira in a statement.
"But the organisation can relax because Brazil and its people have the competence and integrity to organise an impeccable, unforgettable World Cup."
Brazil's Congress has angered FIFA by dragging its feet over legislation which needs to be passed for the World Cup, including a law that would overturn a ban on the sale of alcohol at games.
Politicians also want to protect discounts for students and old-age pensioners which are guaranteed under Brazilian law but could be overturned by the proposed World Cup bill.
Valcke said Brazil should have passed the bill in 2007 as part of guarantees given by the government for being awarded the tournament.
"It could seem some aspects of the World Cup organisation are progressing slowly. But in every democratic process, the discussions should be ample and take the interests of the public into account," added Teixeira. Continued...

The Iranian economy is suffering from high unemployment and staggering 29 percent inflation rate. President Ahmadinejad has isolated his nation in a mad quest for developing atomic energy. Large sectors of the Iranian nation seek change, but under current rules it is difficult to have a viable candidate. Mehdi Karroubi, leader of Iran's reformist National Confidence party has announced he would seek the presidency in an effort to alter the direction of his nation from an over emphasis on foreign policy conflict to one which deals with issues of concern to the average person. The cleric who was speaker of Parliament in the 1990s, said he wanted to focus on the economy and defending "people's legitimate liberties."
Iranians are still waiting to hear about the decision of Mohammad Khatami who was a mildly reformist president several years ago who continually encountered problems from clerics who would prevent his efforts to liberalize the economy and restore basic freedoms to the people. The success of any reform candidate depends on what clerics such as the Supreme Leader Khamenai decide.

Tito Ortiz joins TNA Wrestling; Flea market continues
TNA Impact wrestling should be in a refrigerator because it's nothing but leftovers.
The company has spent so much time giving a place to work for guys past their prime or that WWE didn't want anymore. Good for those guys to get paid but bad for TNA's bank account. But at least that was a wrestling company taking leftover, well, wrestlers.
Now TNA is taking leftover Mixed Martial Arts performers. Let's take leftover guys who aren't even trained in your genre. Stellar business decision.
MMA fighters who Dana White and UFC felt aren't worth having anymore, and TNA takes them in. MMA fighters posting up like they're at a flea market wanting to cash in on any last value their name still has. Why not go for the flea market regular in Dixie Carter?
In 2012, the company signed MMA fighter King Mo. Earlier this summer, a BIG announcement that MMA fighter Rampage Jackson had joined TNA. Last week, it was days of mysterious videos teasing an Aug. 1 reveal of some name.
The vignettes were interesting. Fans, of course, had guesses to which free agent wrestlers could be the big reveal. Jokes on them for thinking at all that this reveal in a wrestling show should be a wrestler. The mysterious person would acknowledge and name-drop popular guesses and tell everyone to guess again.
He said he wasn't Batista, and he said he wasn't Chris Jericho. Great to get attention by dropping their names in denial but set a bar too high to deliver. The BIG reveal was Tito Ortiz. TNA has a partnership with Bellator MMA fighting which also airs on Spike TV. They're trying to get attention and I guess they got some, but at what price? TNA has become a punchline to wrestling fans.
TNA should scrap professional wrestling and start putting on MMA events. There is no guarantee they will get the return because these MMA guys aren't top billing anymore, but at least it would be the right ring/cage.
Ortiz and Jackson in a fake wrestling match isn't going to create record pay-per-view buys or television ratings. They don't matter like they used to.
WWE used Floyd "Money" Mayweather in a match with Big Show at WrestleMania 24 because Mayweather was the biggest name in boxing.
There are a dozen names who are stars on the independent wrestling circuit that TNA could spend money on. All 12 combined would be much less than any investment for Ortiz and Jackson. Those 12 guys would grab positive attention from wrestling fans. Out of those dozen, maybe only two become stars that TNA can try to make consistent money from. That's still two more than they have with the MMA senior club.
Even the reveal couldn't be done right by TNA. The lights go out while Aces & Eights and Main Event Mafia are circling each other ringside. Then, Ortiz walks down the ramp and stands there looking tough. The commentators just assumed and told us he was the Aug. 1 reveal. I wonder how many in the arena could see or figure out that was Ortiz?
The entire segment felt so forced. It felt like TNA was saying, "Hey, look, this is a big deal you should be excited for."
When you have a big deal, it speaks for itself and doesn't need manufactured. Act like you've been there, no matter how foreign that might be.

'Tis the season for "Top 10 of 2013" lists! We're a festive bunch here at Just Drive Media, so we're celebrating by gathering up the year's top social media mishaps and successes. We're always sharing eye-catching social stories in our virtual water cooler, and you deserve to get in on the laughs, lessons and inspiration.
Let's start with a look at our favorite fails:
1. JP Morgan Twitter Chat Backfires
We feel for you, JP, but opening the gates for a candid Twitter chat while your brand is undergoing controversy is asking for trouble. In case you missed it, the company was recently ordered to pay more than $300 million back to customers for illegal credit card practices.
Using the hashtag #AskJPM, the Twitter chat was intended for users to ask investment banker Jimmy Lee questions on career advice, but it quickly went awry…
Did you always want to be part of a vast, corrupt criminal enterprise or did you "break bad"? #AskJPM
— Kevin Murphy (@kcm74) November 13, 2013
Is the fact that you've paid over half a billion in fines since August a source or pride, or are you embarrassed it's not higher? #AskJPM

2. Randi Zuckerberg Memorializes Veterans
Well, she tried to, but shameless book promotion is not exactly the right way to honor veterans. Poor Randi endured a lot of grief for this one, though unlike most mishaps, her tweet is still proudly posted. Whatever her intentions, the lesson remains… Do NOT piggy back on harrowing holidays and anniversaries to market your brand. Your message will sound empty, and your audience will see right through it.
In honor of Veterans Day, share how tech helped/complicated life while serving & get a free signed copy of my book! pic.twitter.com/3MU7UijrPL
— Randi Zuckerberg (@randizuckerberg) November 11, 2013
3. Amy's Baking Company vs. The Socialsphere
If you missed this one, you're in for a treat. Located in Arizona, Amy's Baking Company was featured in Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares. They were not operating up to standard, to say the least, and the owners were so difficult to work with that Ramsey dumped them.
After they were deluged with a tidal wave of negative feedback via social media, owners Samy and Amy had a complete meltdown that they had no qualms about sharing on their social channels. Needless to say, make sure the "all-caps-with-sprinkles-of-profanity-and-claiming-to-be-hacked" method does not make it into your 2014 social strategies.
4. Kenneth Cole Showcases Insensitivity
Kenneth Cole hit a nerve with an insensitive tweet in September. Regarding potential military action in Syria, Cole exploited the "boots on the ground" phrase in an attempt to sell footwear. This isn't the first time he's started controversy over Twitter, and he stands by his 91-characters. C'mon, Ken…
"Boots on the ground" or not, let's not forget about sandals, pumps and loafers. #Footwear

5. DTE Energy Retweets Its Poor Customer Service
This one is pretty self-explanatory, but had us shaking our heads nonetheless. DTE Energy, a Michigan-based utility company, had apparently not addressed a customer's safety concerns for some nearby power lines. When the customer took to Twitter to complain, DTE responded by retweeting his criticism to its more than 11,000 Twitter followers. Now that's transparency!

We're not completely ruthless, and there are a lot of great brands out there doing social media the right way that we can learn from. Here are some of the campaigns that inspired us this year:
6. Kobe and Messi Share Selfies
Turkish Airlines released its second ad featuring Lionel Messi and Kobe Bryant this year, in which the two athletes travel the globe sharing dueling selfies. The YouTube video itself is clever and touts high-profile names, but that alone isn't why there are currently more than 134 million views. Turkish Airline's ad agency identified high-profile YouTube users, then worked with and compensated them to casually share the ad with their followers.
7. Oreo Dunks in the Dark
Oreo received plenty of praise throughout the year for their tweet during the Super Bowl, and it remains a favorite. When the power went out, Oreo jumped on the opportunity in real-time with a simple, clever post and graphic. This reiterates the importance for social marketing to be relevant and timely.
Power out? No problem.
— Oreo Cookie (@Oreo) February 4, 2013
8. Weather Channel Interns Sustain Twitter Tornado
There isn't much not to like about the Weather Channel's #TornadoWeek campaign. The idea came from their interns, and put them in the middle of a Twitter powered tornado. Every mention of the hashtag boosted the winds, promising to escalate into a full-blown EF-5 tornado with 1,000,000 tweets. Using hand-written signs and entertaining antics, the #TornadoWeek video went viral.
9. Lowe's Leverages Vine
Vine may seem like an app only for consumers, but Lowe's was one of the first to successfully market its brand through the six-second videos. Using the hashtag #lowesfixinsix, Lowe's released a series of videos with DIY and home improvement tips. The campaign has been going strong for the better half of the year, and continues to receive great positive response on Twitter.
Hmm, we DO travel a lot #NASCAR MT @Lowes: Want to keep your plants watered while you're on vacation? #lowesfixinsix https://t.co/fxVzxsRH0l
— Team Lowe's Racing (@LowesRacing) August 15, 2013
10. Water is Life Addresses #firstworldproblems
This cause is near and dear to me and makes me love the campaign even more. We've all likely seen the "#firstworldproblems" hashtag, where the privileged complain about their wallet being so full it won't close or their toaster not having a bagel setting. Non-profit organization Water is Life set out to show how trivial these complaints are and raise awareness of real problems in the world. The team produced a video featuring men, women and children in Haiti reading #firstworldproblems tweets, which powerfully got their message across. The campaign generated 1 million days worth of clean water for impoverished communities.
What were your favorite #fails and #wins of 2013? Cheers to what 2014 has in store!


text: Hi. The other day I got a message on my TV saying my programming was going to run out and to connect to TiVo service. I tried and it was unsuccessful. I called customer service and they said my phone service had probably switched to digital from analog. They told me I could still connect using internet connection. Problem is I don't HAVE internet connection at my home. I just use my phone's internet. The representative then said I had no other options. That my service would end and that's it. I called my provider directv and they tried selling me one of their DVRs or a directv / TiVo DVR for $200. I'd prefer to just keep my directv receiver and TiVo receivers separate. Is it possible? Is there an adapter? Anything? ??? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

We can supply this weapon replica taken apart with a longer pole. In that case, you will have to put the parts together by your own. You wilI usually have to insert iron pins (included in delivery) in the pre-drilled holes and hammer them flat at the end, whereby the parts get riveted together.

Save a frame
Sorry if this sounds silly or obvious, but I thought I'd put it in here in case anyone is about to lose their favorite car.
No matter how good any of us are at fixing stuff, if the frame goes, you can usually kiss the thing goodbye, or at least only prolong its demise. Check this site out - www.onlinemetals.com
They have lots of metal you can order there in whatever form, including stainless steel. It's not the cheapest stuff in the world, but not, by any means, a regretable purchase if you are trying to save a cool car.
I noticed 90s like my own tend to have a tendency to rot in the wheel wells, for example. You can get a little stainless in plate form, stick weld it into (or have someone do this part for you...I might buy a welder too when I become loaded ) whatever part of the frame has a hole, or so much rust that you can punch it (obviously clean the hell out of that first). I like to first overlap it a little and adhere it with silicone so it fills in gaps and hinders moisture building up underneath....then weld. Then bondo, sand, prime, and paint. It'll probably be even stronger than it originally was, and the stainless will be a more fruitful solution, as it won't continue to degrade no matter how much you try. Granted, you still can't stop it all, but even some of the thinner metal used as a sheet, you can make some nice splash guards out of to retard the spots that get the worst abuse.

This article describes alternative approaches to the process of negotiation.
Styles of negotiating need to vary according to the circumstances and the people involved. Most negotiations will be a mixture of the collaborative and competitive approaches. It is generally more productive to steer the proceedings towards collaboration rather than competition.
Before we look at these approaches in more detail, let's look at the roles that you might take on in a negotiation. It is possible to identify five, each of which has particular strengths.
The factual negotiator
Factual negotiators tend to leave aside emotional issues such as "face" - a person's desire for a positive identity. (People like to feel and look good and will react in a hostile manner to attacks that make them feel or look bad.) They can get most involved in details about the negotiation.
The relational negotiator
Relational negotiation can lose sight of the reasons for negotiation and the objectives in their anxiety to build relationships. They can also give away information without realising it. Their sensitivity can make them become emotional and lose perspective.
The intuitive negotiator
Intuitive negotiators can be dangerous because of their wildness and lack of discipline.
The logical negotiator
The logical negotiator can sometimes see the process of negotiation as being more important than the content or outcome.
The lead negotiator
Finally, all these approaches or roles need to be co-ordinated by the lead negotiator, who is responsible for all of the above roles and who makes the final decision about strategy, etc.
It is likely that you will exhibit some or all of these roles in your own negotiations. If your intuitive negotiator is strongest, you will need to develop discipline. If your logical negotiator is most prominent, you may need to develop relationship building skills.
Negotiation is a means of arriving at a solution to a problem in a manner which ideally results in an outcome which is of benefit to all parties; in other words, a win/win situation. Everybody is happy, and as a result of your different needs and objectives, it is possible for everyone to leave the table with substantial gains and inconsequential losses. The trick is to trade things which cost you little but which have a high value to the other party.
Negotiation calls for assertive behaviour. You should collaborate to achieve an agreement satisfactory to all concerned. If you deal with an aggressor, someone who always wants to win at all costs, then the result would be win/lose. The danger of taking this stance is that it may lead to a complete lack of co-operation - the other party dislikes and distrusts the aggressor's style, and so will not bargain - so that the final outcome is lose/lose. Needless to say this must be avoided, otherwise the process becomes pointless.
The following pointers will help you when planning your strategy and conducting your negotiation:

Helvetica Hotel Inspired By The Popular Typeface
A New York designer brings the popular font to life in the form of luxury accommodation brand design.
Helvetica has inspired a host of brands and projects, even including a movie, and now the beloved typeface is the source of inspiration for the design of a hotel brand. Albert Son, a New York-based design student, has translated the typeface into a hotel in his personal project posted on Behance. The Helvetica Hotel does not simply employ its namesake in the written elements; the entire brand experience and interior design are inspired by the distinct aesthetic qualities of the typeface. Son has designed the hotel brand with the expected accompanying elements, such as key cards, stationery and shampoo bottles, along with a range of branded products that could be sold in the hotel shop or minibar, such as whiskey, chocolate and tote bags.
Siting his perception that the font is most beautiful when on its own, Son focused on "keeping everything simple and clean in terms of typography as well as use of colors," which is limited to a monochrome palette with pops of red. He envisions the hotel as an "up-to-date and trendy landmark" that would bring the Helvetica "culture and lifestyle" to the public. The complete case study can be viewed on Behance.

These clothes are being modeled on a 24" plastic and a 28" cement goose.
I have marked the pictures what size goose it is
so that you can tell that with the 3" difference in some clothes that they would fit better on the cement goose.
When I make the clothes I try them on both goose's for fitting
You will note that all my lace on the dresses are usually double or triple colors.
I like the wide lace and will use them until I run out. They are hard to find.
I also have switched to putting ribbon on the straw hats for ties along with velcrow to help keep the hats on.

I HAD a fullsize USP - loved the gun. Shot well. Loved to keep it cocked and locked. But, the grip was just too fat for me. From the front of the grip to the back, it's just rather long. It's not the width of the grip.
Anyway, I have small hands. I ended up selling it to pay for my last P99. But, it was a great gun.
Now the compact - I have a 9mm USPc - and I have wavered on keeping it on and off many times. I just posted another message stating that I have decided to keep it. Something about the compact - ya gotta really practice to NOT shoot low with it. Many people complain about this. But, the fullsize doesn't have this issue.
If U are looking at the fullsize and like it - get it.


text: Ok, so I bought an aluminum stalk from a great vendor on here and it's a beautiful part. However, when I took off my resin one and test fitted my aluminum one, it just didn't look right. The aluminum one is much shorter. So after doing some digging around without success, I figured I would make a thread and pose the question - how long is your RF stalk? Also, how long should it be? I have a SGTFang for reference.

Think Green! It's increasingly important, and your students will be eager to help!
Your school can't save the planet on its own, but you can be part of the solution by thinking big, yet starting small. As a new teacher, there's a lot to get to know about your school. Finding out where it stands on the Green revolution is a great step in the right direction.
It's easier than you think. Check out ways you, as a new teacher, can make a difference to your school's recycling activities.
Setting up a recycling program if one doesn't already exist is a great way to establish your own niche in your new school.
It's easy to get started, and you may be surprised by how enthusiastic your class is to participate. Most of your students probably have seen a fair amount of information about recycling, reusing and reducing during their short lives. However, they may not be recycling at home. By starting to recycle at school, hopefully they will help change that.
To develop a successful recycling program in your school, you'll need to get the other teachers and the administration on board. Find out who else in your school is passionate about recycling and is willing to help!
Recycling is a win-win for your school and for the environment. It's well known that recycling and reusing resources makes good sense. It prevents waste of potentially useful materials, reduces the use of raw materials and lowers energy use, which in turn, helps decrease greenhouse gas emissions.
In the process, your school might even earn cash or supplies by collecting and recycling items such as toner cartridges, old cell phones and rechargeable batteries.
Important reasons to recycle:
The first thing you need to do is get your class excited about how they can make a difference at school, and then you have to get the word out.
Have your class design eye-catching posters to hang around the school, or elsewhere in the community. Let them come up with information for a class newsletter that can be sent home to their families about the plans.
Create an action plan:
For the lower grades, it's important to make it clear what recycling is, what can be recycled and why it's so important. Give them the basics. Explain that recycling means to process old, used items so that the material can be reused, or used to make new products.
Some of the most common items recycled include glass, plastic, newspapers, cardboard, aluminum cans, used motor oil, and batteries.
By the time students reach third grade or so, they won't need as much basic information. Instead, you can have them brainstorm ways to implement a recycling program at school and home. One way to motivate the older students is through competition. Hold contests between grade levels or classrooms to see who can recycle the most.
Elmer's Glue Crew Recycling Program is one such program you should check out. Through this, schools send in their empty glue bottles and glue sticks. More than 750,000 students from all 50 states participated in this program during the 2008-2009 school year. You and your students can earn prizes and Elmer's products while making a positive impact on the environment.
Links to resources/good sites for elementary recycling:
You can improve your students' environmental literacy by making every subject you teach a green learning moment.
Take math for example. There are numerous activities you can do with your class that will allow them to use their math skills while talking about recycling.
Create math word problems that incorporate recycling ideas. For example:
These problems can be made more complex for older grades by using multiplication and division word problems. For example:
For another activity, bring in common items that can and cannot be recycled such as:
What do all the items have in common? If your students are too young to figure out the answer to the question, you can share with them that each of the items will likely end up in a landfill one day.
Next, ask them what will happen to these items when they end up in the landfill? How long do they think these things will stay there? Do they disappear/disintegrate/degrade immediately? Or will they continue to take up space in the landfill?
Ask the students to guess how long (how many weeks, months, or years) each item might last if dumped in a landfill. Here are estimates from the Bureau of Land Management:
When planning units for reading or language arts, take the opportunity to include an environmental lesson. Use related words for fill-in-the-blank sentences. These words can include: conserve, planet, reuse, recycle, reduce, garbage, landfill.
Have your students find the words in the dictionary and then write definitions. Suggest they pick one word to illustrate through a diorama, picture, map, or other creative idea they might have.
Let students figure out words based on pictures you show them, then give them worksheets to match recycling-related words with pictures. This will give you a great opportunity to start a class discussion about various recycling efforts in place at school or in their homes.
Give your class open-ended sentences they must complete such as:
At school, I can recycle more paper if I...
At home, my family can recycle more if we...
If I knew of someone who was not recycling, I would encourage them by...
Top 10 Reasons to Recycle
One way to teach your class important environmental lessons is to make it fun! Recycling and finding new uses for old items is good for the environment. But this is also when creativity can come into play.
Here are some artistic ideas for recycling modern materials.
Recycle Blue Jeans
Have your students bring in old jeans that otherwise would end up in the trash or being donated to recycle them in class. Some of the things they can make are: placemats, pot holders and pencil cases.
Use old jeans to make unique placemats. Incorporate the pockets as part of the placemat to hold silverware in place.
Denim is strong enough to handle the hottest pots and it looks great in the kitchen. Line with fleece, quilt batting or even squares cut from old sweat shirts. You can include the pocket if you want.
Denim is also a great way to store pencils, erasers, scissors, and the like rather than in traditional pencil cases, which tend to wear out before the end of the school year. Have the class cut and glue Velcro strips to rectangular denim pieces.
Cardboard Egg Carton Uses
Ask your class to bring in empty egg cartons to be used for various recycling projects.
Make plant containers or seed starters. Poke a few small holes in the bottom for drainage. Fill part way with potting soil. Plant seeds and set in a sunny window.
Create a jewelry organizer. Paint or cover the used carton with fabric. It can then be used to store small pieces of jewelry, rings, earrings, chains, cuff links, etc.
Projects with Berry Containers
Have your students collect and bring empty plastic berry containers for great paper mache projects. The square containers are just the right size to hold cocktail napkins, coasters or small items on the bathroom counter. This is a wonderful project your class can make to give to their parents for Christmas or Hanukkah.
The Life History of "Stuff"
By tracing the origins of everyday products such as the bikes they ride to school, their favorite sneakers or their old backpacks students develop an understanding of the impact that the production, sale, and disposal of commonly used goods have on the environment.
Nike has a recycling program http://www.nikereuseashoe.com/ that uses every part of the old shoes it receives to create surfaces that include running tracks, tennis courts and the padding for basketball court floors.
More than 15 million new bicycles are purchased every year in the United States. Obviously, this creates a tremendous number of bikes being sent to landfills. There are numerous organizations that will accept and refurbish used bikes. For information about what to do with old bikes check out the International Bicycle Fund. http://www.ibike.org/environment/recycling/.

Plot Summaries of Margery Allingham's novels
"I get a little sick of murder, but I think it's worth it."
(Margery Allingham, letter to Frank Swinnerton, 13 July 1938)
Note: The book jackets on this page are the work of Margery's husband, Philip Youngman Carter
- Hodder & Stoughton, 1923
- A historical novel about smugglers set on Mersea Island in the 17th century inspired by a series of seances held by the Allingham family while on holiday on Mersea.
- Serialized in the Daily Express, 1927
- Jarrolds, June 1928
- Eric Crowther knew everybody's secrets, so there was no shortage of suspects when he was found shot at the White Cottage. Chief Inspector Challenor and his son Jerry had to look deep into everyone's past - including the dead man's - before they could be sure who had pulled the trigger. The White Cottage Mystery, Margery Allingham's first detective story, was originally a newspaper serial and was skilfully edited by Joyce Allingham for book publication after her sister's death.
- Jarrolds, February 1929
- (also published as The Black Dudley Murder)
- The gaiety of a weekend party in rural Suffolk is shattered when the host's uncle is murdered and a document is taken from the body. The house guests are held hostage until the paper is found. Dr George Abbershaw uncovers the killer, but even he is nonplussed by the mysterious young man - friend or enemy? - who calls himself Albert Campion.
- Jarrolds, January 1930
- With the Simister Gang out to get him, America is too hot for Judge Lobbett. He takes refuge on an island on the Suffolk coast, but even there life is far from peaceful. Blackmail, abduction and sudden death bring matters to a climax. It is Albert Campion, with the unorthodox help of his man Lugg, who masterminds the defence of Mystery Mile and uncovers the true face of Simister. The island is based on Mersea Island in Essex, where Margery spent holidays as a child.
- Jarrolds, January 1931
- (also published as The Gyrth Chalice Mystery)
- The Gyrth family have guarded the Chalice for centuries in their ancient house in Suffolk, but they have never had an opponent like the Daisy before. Mr Campion's services are needed to save the treasure from a desperate and determined thief. He can cope with witches, gypsies and mysterious ceremony, but he has not reckoned with the true guardian of the chalice.
- Heinemann, October 1931
- At her mausoleum of a house in Cambridge Caroline Faraday rules her family with a firm hand - but then murder strikes, and strikes again . In such an eccentric household, with such a legacy of evil, Mr Campion must tread very carefully indeed.
- Heinemann, March 1933
- (Also known as 'Kingdom of Death' and 'The Fear Sign')
- The tiny East European State of Averna - a dead duck since the days of the crusades - has suddenly become an attractive proposition, and the race is on to prove ownership. In a treasure hunt that takes him from the Côte d'Azure to the sun-soaked Suffolk idyll of Pontisbright, Mr Campion and his team of willing helpers do battle with a foe both intelligent and ruthless.
- Heinemann, Feb 1934
- John Sebastian Lafcadio, one of the greatest painters of the Edwardian period, left twelve pictures to be exhibited, one every year, after his death. But there is an unexpected event at the unveiling of the eighth painting - murder. Albert Campion must employ all his tact as well as his formidable intelligence to trap the killer. The author's observation of the art world, both aristocratic and bohemian, ensures that Death of a Ghost is a remarkable novel as well as a compelling mystery.
- Heinemann, Feb 1936
- Scandal hits the staid publishing house of Barnabas when one of the directors is found dead in the strong-room. Suspicion immediately falls on his wife's lover, the junior partner in the firm. But how does an unpublished Restoration comedy come to feature in the tragedy? And what of the odd disappearance of another director twenty years before? The trial of Mike Wedgwood for murder is nail-bitingly tense, and Campion needs all his resources to uncover the truth.
- Hodder & Stoughton, May or June 1937
- 'Pig' Peters was the bully who had made Albert Campion's life a misery at prep. school. And Peters is definitely dead. Campion had attended his funeral. So how could he have died again, six months later? The investigation takes Campion back to rural Suffolk, but this is a very different affair from the early picaresque adventures like Mystery Mile and Sweet Danger. The Case of the Late Pig is a black comedy, and the author's unerring light touch - the story is, uniquely, told by Campion himself - neatly contrasts the drama and the humour.
- Doubleday, 1937
- Margery Allingham's first collection of stories (including the short novel The Case of the Late Pig) has only been published in the United States - which has deprived readers elsewhere of some fascinating insights into Albert Campion's life and career. Each case is prefaced with notes from Campion's casebook, including definitive dates and the odd personal detail ('Fielding offered to take my appendix out, gratis. Thanked him kindly but declined.' - 'The Case of the Old Man in the Window'). All the stories are available in other volumes but without the notes, and in some cases with inferior texts.
- Heinemann, 1937
- Everyone fell under the spell of Jimmy Sutane, the charming and talented song-and-dance man. Everyone, that is, except the spiteful practical joker who put a pin in his stick of grease-paint and pasted 'Last Week' over the 'House Full' notices. Nothing too deadly. But as soon as Albert Campion is called in to investigate, people begin to die, and there's no shortage of suspects when the first victim's death is so convenient for so many.
- Heinemann, June or July 1938
- No scandal attaches to the actress Georgia Wells. You couldn't call her a man-eater - not exactly - but other women are wary when she looks at their men. Especially the fashion designer Valentine Ferris, who happens to be Albert Campion's sister. Val and Alan Dell are very much in love, but things change when Georgia comes on the scene. And then Georgia's second husband is poisoned, and there is strange news of his predecessor. The Observer said: 'To Albert Campion has fallen the honour of being the first detective to figure in a story which is also a distinguished novel.'
- Heinemann, March 1939
- The first British collection of short stories includes nine of Albert Campion's adventures, most (if not all) first published in The Strand Magazine, along with five miscellaneous tales, demonstrating the variety and consistent quality of Margery Allingham's writing. The 1951 Penguin edition omits 'The Border-line Case', and replaces the miscellaneous stories with five more of Mr Campion's exploits.
- Heinemann and Doubleday, November 1940
- Albert Campion plays no part in this case of malice and murder in the art world. Instead, it is the sober Scot, Inspector Bridie, who must investigate the death of Robert Madrigal, the disappearance of his suspected killer, and the reappearance of the widow's lover. Dominating the story is the 'aged and indomitable' Mrs Gabrielle Ivory, who will not let even murder crack the dignity of her family and its venerable and respected Gallery.
- TRAITOR'S PURSE Heinemann, February 1941
- He awoke in hospital, with no memory of how he came there or of who he was. He overheard a nurse say, 'They'll hang him, I suppose,' and a policeman replied, 'Bound to, miss . . .' He had to escape, though he didn't feel like a murderer, but freedom brought new problems and new dangers. He had a vital mission to accomplish in this strange wartime town, vital for himself and perhaps for the free world - but he had no idea what it was! Who was friend and who was enemy? And why did his own name mean nothing to him? Who was Albert Campion . . . ?
- Michael Joseph, 1941
- Margery Allingham's American publisher was very impressed by the short accounts she gave in her letters of wartime life in Tolleshunt D'Arcy. He commissioned her to write a book for her American readers, citizens of a country that had not yet entered the war. The Oaken Heart is not sensational, but it is strikingly honest. It tells of things that were happening all the time in small communities all over England. The story is universal - only no one else has told it so well. It is one of the great books to come out of the Second World War.
- Heinemann, March 1945
- Also published as Pearls before Swine
- Albert Campion is home on leave after three years of wartime intelligence work overseas. His only thought is to get to his house in the country and his wife, Lady Amanda. How can his manservant Lugg have been so inconsiderate as to deposit a dead body in his London flat? Reluctantly, Campion is drawn into the intrigues of Lord Carados' eccentric household - none of them quite as eccentric as his Lordship's formidable mother. He must deal with murder, treason and grand larceny before he can can go home, and even then his troubles are not over.
- Stamford House, 1946
- This American collection comprises three short stories - 'He Was Asking after You', 'The Sexton's Wife' and ''Tis Not Hereafter' - and the title novella. 'Wanted: Someone Innocent' tells of an attractive and rather naïve young woman, Gillian Brayton, who takes up the post of 'a sort of social secretary' in the household of a former schoolfriend - only to find herself threatened by an unknown evil.
- Spivak, 1947
- Another collection published only in the United States, The Casebook of Mr Campion boasts an introduction by Ellery Queen. All seven stories were first published in The Strand Magazine and would subsequently be included in the 1951 edition of Mr Campion and Others.
- Heinemann, February 1949
- Apron Street is a quiet little thoroughfare in west London - and yet . . . Albert Campion is called in to investigate the death of Ruth Palinode, and he finds himself surrounded by as strange a family as he has ever encountered. Not that the other denizens of Apron Street are above suspicion. After all, the undertaker is Magersfontein Lugg's brother-in-law. But who is writing anonymous letters? Who killed Ruth Palinode? And why are hardened criminals frightened of the very name of Apron Street?
- World's Work, 1950
- First published by Doubleday in 1949 as Deadly Duo, this volume pairs 'Wanted: Someone Innocent' with the previously uncollected 'Last Act'. At eighty, Mathilde Zoffany was still vital, graceful, temperamental - and suspicious. She was convinced that her grandson Denis meant to kill her. And now she is dead. But the obvious solution may not be the right one. 'Last Act' is both a compelling mystery and a vivid study of personalities, particularly Zoff and her adopted grand-daughter Margot - who is in love with Denis.
- MR CAMPION AND OTHERS (revised edition)
- Penguin, 1950
- The original edition, published in 1939, is a mixed collection of short stories, only eight or so concerning Albert Campion. The post-war paperback offers a baker's dozen of his adventures, substituting more recently published tales for the non-Campions in the original edition. It has been said that Albert Campion is most like Lord Peter Wimsey (and least like himself) in these stories, moving easily among the beau monde and showing few signs of his usual idiosyncrasies. However, they are dazzlingly clever and thoroughly engaging. Most of the stories were originally published in the immortal Strand Magazine.
- Chatto & Windus, June 1952
- The Tiger in the Smoke can rank with The Thirty-nine Steps, Rogue Male, The Day of the Jackal or any of the great thrillers in English literature. And it conveys an understanding of goodness and evil perhaps more assuredly than any of them. 'The Tiger' is the murderer known as Jack Havoc, out of jail and on the rampage. But what has he to do with Albert Campion's saintly uncle, Canon Avril? The old man's daughter Meg is happily engaged, so why is she afraid that her late husband has come back from the dead? And who has kidnapped her fiancé? The tension is almost painful - but The Tiger in the Smoke is more than an outstanding thriller. In her intense depiction of character, place and event, Margery Allingham has created a major novel.
- World's Work, November 1954
- This second book of novellas comprises 'The Patient at Peacocks Hall' and 'Safer than Love', two previously uncollected 'tales of suspense'. In the former, a young woman doctor must save the life of her rival in love. The latter tells of the disappearance of the head of a rural preparatory school and the secrets that emerge.
- Chatto & Windus, April 1955
- Old William Faraday is dead, apparently of natural causes. Another man is dead too, and it was certainly murder. Mr Campion and his family are back in Pontisbright, along with Magersfontein Lugg and DCI Charles Luke. Danger is hardly unknown in this idyllic Suffolk village, but it is a less romantic peril than on Mr Campion's first visit, more than twenty years ago. Mr Campion's friends Minnie and Tonker Cassands put on a cheerful face as they prepare for their annual party at Minnie's house, The Beckoning Lady, but Minnie has serious problems with the Inland Revenue - and the dead man in the ditch is a tax inspector. Mr Campion has a formidable adversary in Superintendent Fred South of the Suffolk Police, whom we encountered in 'Safer than Love'. And to cap it all, Charlie Luke falls like a ton of bricks for the most unsuitable girl imaginable...
- Chatto & Windus, September 1958
- A quiet, ruthless killer strikes in London's theatreland. Superintendent Luke thinks he has seen the pattern before. Mr Campion wonders what became of the old couple in the country bus who must have witnessed the crime . . . The trail leads to an eccentric museum in west London, and to a scrapyard in the East End. As an exercise in suspense Hide My Eyes is the equal of The Tiger in the Smoke. As a study of human imperfection it may be superior to the earlier novel. Self-deception is a character flaw in the murderer no less than in the old woman who loves him and hides her eyes from the appalling truth.
- Doubleday, 1962; Chatto & Windus, May 1963
- Appearance and reality are not always the same. Timothy Kinnit is rich, handsome and well-bred. He seems to have everything. Then, on the eve of his elopement, he learns that he was adopted, and he is desperate to know who he really is. Someone seems no less keen to stop him finding out. Violence, deception and death bedevil the post-war housing estate that has grown from the ashes of the notorious Turk Street Mile, and the shadow of a long-forgotten murder hangs over it all - until Luke and Campion are finally able to dispel the darkness.
- Morrow, June 1965
- Fact catches up with fiction when the secret of telepathic communication is discovered. But the device is in the possession of two schoolboys. Whether they stole it or invented it, there are powerful interests who will kill to get hold of it. Albert Campion faces as deadly a challenge as any in his career.
- Chatto & Windus, c.Oct/Nov 1965
- The second British omnibus consists of the three novels in which Amanda plays a major part: Sweet Danger, The Fashion in Shrouds and Traitor's Purse, together with a new short story about Albert and Amanda, 'A Word in Season'. The Fashion in Shrouds was revised (i.e. abridged) by the author, and 'A Word in Season' was rewritten from an original version about a different couple. The introduction is brief but illuminating.
- Chatto & Windus, September 1967
- The third British omnibus, devised by Philip Youngman Carter after his wife's death, follows the 'Amanda' novels with the 'Lugg' novels - Mystery Mile, Coroner's Pidgin and More Work for the Undertaker. The last is in an abridged version. The editor's introduction, about Margery Allingham rather than Albert Campion, is very touching.
Sail lofts, Tollesbury

- Chatto & Windus, 1968
- Strange things are happening in Saltey, and the little village on the Essex coast is invaded by bikers and other strange visitors. A newly-released prisoner is rumoured to be in the area, Mr Lugg has bought a bungalow there, the Saltey Demon is on the loose again, and Albert Campion is looking for treasure. (The photo on the left shows Tollesbury sail lofts, the setting for several scenes in the novel.)
- Chatto & Windus, May 1969
- This posthumous collection of short stories contains eighteen stories, half of them about Albert Campion or Charlie Luke.
- Chatto & Windus, February 1973
- The second posthumous collection, again of eighteen stories. Only a few concern Mr Campion, but there is a bonus for those who have a sneaking fondness for the egregious Thos. T. Knapp (featured in Mystery Mile). 'A Quarter of a Million' is a novella, first published as The Mystery Man of Soho in 1933, telling of one of his early escapades. The Allingham Minibus was also published as Mr Campion's Lucky Day, and Other Stories.
- Penguin, 1982
- Contains The Crime at Black Dudley, Mystery Mile, and Look to the Lady
- Hodder & Stoughton, 1989
- The third posthumous collection was compiled and edited by J.E. Morpurgo, who also contributed a very interesting introduction. Albert Campion features in only three of these previously uncollected stories.
- Crippen & Landru, 1995
- 'The lights are dimmed and a silent figure in a diaphanous white gown sneaks toward the safe where the famous diamond, The Seven Stars, is kept. Softly the safe door opens, the diamond is removed, and the figure slips softly away, leaving only a red rosebud behind . . .' Margery Allingham could hardly have expected to see her anonymous 1930 serial published in book form, and certainly The Darings of the Red Rose is no neglected masterpiece. This series of eight linked episodes is, instead, a prime example of the sort of 'pulp fiction' that was her stock-in-trade before Mystery Mile consolidated her success with the critics. The story of Betty Connolly's revenge on the heartless financiers who ruined her family is fast-moving, exciting and romantic. Crippen & Landru's lovely Art Deco cover makes the book even more desirable.
- Vintage, 5th October 2006
- This omnibus features three of the Albert Campion's cases: Sweet Danger, The Case of the Late Pig, and The Tiger in the Smoke
Plot Summaries of Campion novels by Youngman Carter
- Heinemann, 1969
- [From the publisher's blurb] Mr Campion's Farthing is worth considerably more than a quarter of an old penny. For Farthing is the code name of Vassily Kopeck - missing diplomat. Kopeck was last seen at Inglewood Turrets where Lottie Cambric sells a vision of Victorian culture and luxury. And now the vultures are gathering around the Turrets. Outside - all sorts of spies, greedy developers and strangers in the summary. Inside - an arsonist and a murderer in the vaults and a hijacked party in the dining room. Kottie and her friend Albert Campion are in the middle - of danger...
- Heinemann, 1970
- [From the publisher's blurb] Matthew Matthews, archaeologist, died of a heart attack. Francis Makepeace, geologist, vanishes. Many problems - not least for Mr Campion. For Makepeace is a maverick with a secret. The results are murder, kidnapping and the doghouse for his loyal friends who are the last to solve his mystery. But fortunately for them, Albert Campion is just one jump ahead of the sinister forces who can smell money - lots of money - in his disappearance and who will stop at nothing to get it under their grubby paws.

Sex.com comes up for sale again
The rights to one of the most notorious adult sites on the internet are up for sale just four years after they changed hands for a record $14m (£9m), with auctioneers hoping that sex can sell all over again.
Sex.com, the most expensive domain name on the internet (described as the "jewel in the internet crown") and the subject of two books, is set to go under the hammer on March 18 after owner Escom was unable to pay its debts. Details of the process were posted on the website of auctioneer David R Maltz & Co, which has since received a slew of inquiries.
The event will be held at law firm Windels Marx Lane & Mittendorf in New York. The domain name will not come cheap. Interested parties will have to bring a certified cheque for $1m just to be allowed to participate.

|The older one used to love astronomy and biology until her mother drove it into her that Barbies and Lip gloss were cooler than planets. Being pretty and being popular is more valued that being smart and witty and self reliant.
Sadly yes. I WISH I could say I was joking.
My BIL's wife actually refers to them as "the smart one" (although recently over the last few yeras it has faded from the smart one to "the social butterfly") and the "pretty one" - to their faces!!! And has since they were toddlers!!!
Both are beautiful, in different ways. Both are incredibly brilliant, in different ways.
But they are encouraged to be weak, flighty, simpering girls. Disney Princesses, Brittney Spears, and Hannah Montana are their role models. Seriously.
I just wish they were encouraged (by someone besides me and DH) to be strong, beautiful, brilliant, outspoken, self assured women-in-the-making.
Being head cheerleader would be more important to their parents than being valedictorian :
We get them stuff like books and microscopes for Xmas, while their parents get them Cell phones and Hannah Montana sing-a-long kits for the TV. I just don't get it.
I must say I do enjoy annoying my ILs by getting the girls educational gifts (that the girls enjoy!) and especially enjoy their horrified responses to the gender bending toys we supply DS with (a play kitchen, toy vacuum, male cabbage patch kid doll, dress up clothes, etc). THey always get something super commercial, all battery operated, and sports themed for DS - which always gets returned and exchanged for a nice open ended, enriching toy. LOL
My 12 yo dd1 has a subscription to Discovery Girls, and has for a few years. She loves it.
|Wanna borrow DD to take over to their place? She'd be a great role model. Refuses to be a 'typical' girl. Last time someone brought it up with her (in the question of "why can't you be more of a girl?") she replied with "What do you think I am? A cat? Can't be more of a girl then having two X chromosomes."
I commend you on continued contact, I'm not sure I'd be able to stomach that.
The one who used to love biology and astronomy might do great with a science mag, this is your chance to rekindle the desire. The lack of common sense could be that she's been bombarded with her parents ideas of what she should be for too long.
The sea monkey has my money.

The cam in the 260 hp crate motor is the same stock cam that came in the 350's and 400's for years (the one in the 290 hp crate motor is totally not computer friendly). The TBI cam by comparison is terible. While the standard small block cam has 193* intake duration, the TBI cam has 179* intake duration. In comparison an RV cam has 204* intake duration. The reason the TBI cam has such low intake numbers is because the heads flow is terrible, so by keeping the cam duration low the seat of the pants feel is great, but the real power is not there.
I ran that set up in a 1989 K1500 and was very happy with it. Great acceleration and drivability, and averaged over 20 mpg on hwy, never had a cel. You could also feel there was at least an additional 1000 rpm usable range becasue the heads breathed better. The 260 hp GM claims is a Gross Rating (think 1960's) and not a Net Rating including all accessories like motors were rated since the early 1970's. I have also tried to run an RV cam in a TBI and you are correct - it did not like it. Part of the reason is the lobe seperation, if you increase the lobe seperation of an RV cam to 114* it would run fine. The TBI cam is ground on a 110* LSA and the general small block cam is on 112LSA - As you increase the intake duration you also need to increase the LSA to keep the computer happy. LS motors cams are ground with a 122* LSA for that reason.

The Dog Who Saved The HolidaysClose
For Parents
Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that The Dog Who Saved the Holidays is a family Christmas comedy that relies heavily on recurring flatulence in lieu of actual punch lines. There are some insults ("don't be so thick" and "dummy") as well as mild violence (a mobster makes a verbal threat to cut off the thumbs of some men if they don't commit a burglary for him). There are some cute montages of dogs frolicking and some positive lessons about the importance of family, but fart jokes dominate.

[MLS SPOTLIGHT] Jermaine Jones will be separated from his family in Los Angeles by more than 2,600 miles and he won't be playing in Chicago, the club that initially pursued him, but he said in his first press conference since joining New England he's happy to be with the Revolution.
Jones said it was false that he preferred to play in Chicago.
point was," he said in his first press conference with the Boston media on Tuesday, "that I said that I am close to my family, and I have to say a big thanks to them, they already told me that they
would be behind me and would stay in LA and push me for every decision that I do. We were sitting down, talking about everything, I was talking it over with my agent, and the New England Revolution,
they pushed so bad that they wanted me, and if you have that feeling that somebody is really interested and they pushed so far, I would say, 'OK, I go to New England.'"
In the
heyday of the Revs, four-time (2002, 2006, 2006, 2007) MLS runners-up, they had a strong central midfield presence with Shalrie Joseph and Jeff Larentowicz.
"He fits exactly what we were looking for," said Revs coach Jay Heaps of his new signing, "a
ball-winning midfielder, a great presence in there."
Jones, the biggest signing in the Revs' 19 seasons, says he wants Revs coach Jay Heaps to push
him to be ready for Saturday's match at Toronto FC, and he in turn is ready to push his teammates.
"Anyone who knows me know I'm not a guy who likes to lose," said Jones. "We have a young
team, so maybe I have to kick someone in the a**, but only in a good way. I like to win, and I will try everything so that we can get some wins."
Jones, who said he was pushed by Jurgen Klinsmann to make the move to MLS, has been off for eight weeks since the World Cup ended for the USA with a 2-1 loss to Belgium in the round of 16. He said
resuming training on Tuesday wasn't easy, but he was ready to help the Revs even if it was off the bench.

Manhunt Over For Car Thief
Published February 26th, 2014
Loading Video...
COLLIER COUNTY, FL - The hunt is over for a teen accused of stealing a car in Collier County.
According to Florida Highway Patrol, a traffic stop was conducted just Tuesday evening when troopers noticed a driver traveling rather slowly on I-75. When they ran the plates they discovered the car was stolen.
Troopers called for back-up and conducted a traffic stop. The suspect then ran into the wooded area near Wachoota Road. Multiple agencies responded to catch the suspect. He was eventually found using a helicopter with infrared.
The suspect was identified as a minor and is expected to be put in the custody of the Department of Children and Family Services.
