County shuts down Amish bakery
PINE TOWNSHIP — Rudy Yoder feels he is being persecuted for being Amish by Montcalm County's Building Department director.
But Scott Minard contends Yoder is "thumbing his nose at the law" by constructing an addition without the proper permits and in violation of the state's building code.
Yoder and his wife, Mary, have operated Mary's Bakery with their daughters for a decade out of a basement. Yoder demolished that building this summer and constructed a two-story addition to his home to house the bakery.
Mary and the daughters make and sell breads, rolls, pies and doughnuts while Rudy shoes horses.
'Thumbing his nose at the law'
According to Minard, Rudy Yoder came to the Building Department to get a permit for a building to replace the bakery at 5444 N. Vining Road, just south of Lakeview. Minard said he explained to Yoder that the addition would be considered a commercial building under the state construction code, meaning Yoder must obtain sealed drawings by an architect or engineer.
"He didn't like that and came back the next day and told us he was just putting an addition on his house," Minard said.
Minard explained that if the building is used as a store, Yoder would need to obtain the proper permits or Minard would shut down the business.
"He clearly stated to me that it was going to be a storage addition to the house only," Minard said of Yoder. "I made every effort to cooperate with him and explain the law."
Minard said Yoder did not contact him to conduct a final inspection.
Minard conducted an inspection at the site on Sept. 2. He observed a sign advertising the business by the road, an "open" sign on the building, customers inside the building and a kitchen and shelves fully stocked with baked goods.
Minard sent Yoder a notice of violation letter on Sept. 6, stating Yoder was in violation of four sections of Michigan Construction Code.
"The construction of this building was performed illegally," the letter stated. "The use and occupancy of the building is an illegal use and occupancy. Therefore, this building is considered a dangerous and unsafe building and shall not be used or occupied without approval from this department."
Minard warned Yoder he could be punished by up to 90 days in jail and a $500 fine for each of the violations. Yoder continued to do business as usual at the bakery.
"He stated that he would not comply with my order and would continue to use it as he wishes," Minard said. "Basically he is just thumbing his nose at the law. He feels that there is no reason that he should have to comply with the laws of the State of Michigan like everyone else has to."
'I think this is very wrong'
Yoder contends Mary's Bakery is a home occupation, not a commercial business. He hopes the upstairs of the addition someday can serve as a home to his two daughters if they get married so they can continue working in the bakery.
"I think this is very wrong," Yoder said. "I think this is very sad. I can't make myself believe that he (Minard) isn't a little bit begrudged against Amish. He made me feel like a liar. He made me feel like a thief.
"Why do we have people in office who think they can pick on a Plain person?" Yoder asked.
Minard said he does not dispute that the bakery is a home occupation. But the building code still describes the building use as "mercantile," which is commercial use and requires sealed drawings.
"He knows when he came in and got his building permit that he lied to me," Minard said. "On his application he specifically stated it was for residential use."
Yoder's daughters, Verna, 22, and Katieann, 17, are saddened by the situation.
"It's hard because that's the only job I've got," Verna said. "I choose to work for mom and dad and the business."
"I would miss it," Katieann added.
County issue
Pine Township Zoning Administrator Steven Buchholz said the dispute is not a township zoning issue but something that must be sorted out between Yoder and the Montcalm County Building Department.
"I fully understand Scott's stance on it, but I understand Rudy's too," Buchholz said. "They (the Yoders) want to stay small and stay as a community service. But on the other hand, other businesses are held to a certain standard and that's where Scott is coming from."
Buchholz said Yoder meets all township requirements for a home occupation.
"That's what we are considering it as, a home occupation," Buchholz said. "Obviously the Building Department is looking at it as they're doing a business there and it should have been constructed to building specifications."
No occupancy
Minard placed a "no occupancy" order on the bakery building Wednesday.
He said Yoder has the option to obtain construction drawings for a commercial building and submit a new application to the Building Department for a store. Yoder also has the option to close the store and use it for a dwelling.
"If he continually refuses to do either then he will get a ticket and have to go to court," Minard said.
In the meantime, Yoder has called State Sen. Judy Emmons and Gov. Rick Snyder to ask for help. Minard is not surprised by that.
"The Amish have done this before, pretty much every time they don't want to comply with the code they start calling politicians to put the heat on me for trying to do my job," Minard said.
He said his job requires him to enforce the state construction code in the county, which he does objectively.
"I do not have the authority or the right to pick and choose who I will enforce it on," Minard said. "I try to treat everyone fairly and be consistent throughout the county for each and every citizen."
Yoder said the bakery is important to Pine Township, where he lives and pays property taxes.
"We might better try to get along," Yoder said.

The Diableros, You Can't Break the Strings in Our Olympic Hearts (Baudelaire) Rating: 8
The comparisons to the Arcade Fire or Broken Social Scene for this Toronto-based six piece will probably be coming fast and furious, but it won't be entirely accurate. The Diableros dispose of Arcade Fire's mannered passion and Broken Social Scene's endless sprawl offering something more contained and even more vital. Powerfully direct, and charmingly rough around the edges, You Can't Break the Strings in Our Olympic Hearts is every bit as expansive as the title suggests. Powered by a Farfisa and 12-string guitar, the Diableros melt additional keyboards, drums and bass into a fierce rock 'n' roll machine. Falling somewhere between the Nuggets box set and Belle & Sebastian, the Diableros are vulnerable with a switchblade's edge. There is a verve throughout You Can't Break the Strings in Our Olympic Hearts that is impressive. Debut albums rarely come with this kind of confidence and quality. The Diableros had better ready themselves for kind of attention already lavished on the bands previously mentioned. It seems that the well of quality Canadian acts is not yet dry -- go find this.

Dan Jones, Get Sounds Now (Daily Records Online) Rating: 7
Dan Jones has been compared to some select company, including Husker Du of all bands. But it's hard to see what that comparison might have any clout with the surf-guitar rave-up instrumental entitled "Successtro". Not a bad song but nothing to write home about. From there, the '60s pop feeling of "Cooling Off" has some things going for it, namely a nice melody but with Jones sounding like a whiney Westerberg at best. It has a strong bridge though bringing to mind the Attractions without Elvis at the helm. As the album continues, it gets better, including a poppy and light "The Rain and the Swell" that would fit alongside something David Kilgour might have recently put out. Jones wears his heart on his sleeve during the soft, ballad-ish "Little Machine" that seems to fit his tired, weary vocal. But "Baron Von Wasteland", while flexing a wall of guitar at times, is best left to They Might Be Giants with some twists and turns. The Petty-esque "Redbird in the Rain" is perhaps the best of the lot here. A close second might be the mid-tempo roots pop of "Bluebird". And anyone who can make the phrase "plumber's crack" sound wistful, as he does on "Saggy Pants", can't be all bad. The added bonus songs don't live up to expectations, just filler.

Marty Casey & Lovehammers, Marty Casey & Lovehammers (Epic/Burnett) Rating: 5
The second banana on INXS' search for their lead singer left Marty Casey in a difficult spot. But with an opening slot on INXS' North American tour, Casey and his band have made the best of it with an album that seems to tap into the radio-friendly hard rock that Nickelback has mined for the past few years. This despite the fact the closing "Clouds" is a ballad-by-the-book tune. A perfect example of this is the leadoff "Casualty" that has the heavy chorus but ends just a hair too quickly. From there "Hold On" is a bouncy, high-energy, somewhat catchy pop rock tune with guitarist Billy Sawilchik hitting all the right riffs in the right places. The early highlight is a slow-building "Trees" that made Casey a household name on the show, a tune that has a thick, meaty chorus that cruises along. Some other songs, while not exactly filler, don't quite measure up including "Tunnel" that is ordinary at best. The same can be said for the hook-fuelled "Eyes" but finally hits paydirt with some great solos at the conclusion. Meanwhile "Riddle" sounds like a long (and I do mean long) distant cousin of Oasis' "Don't Look Back in Anger". But another high point comes with the Jimmy Eat World-ish "Call of Distress".

Researchers Explore Positive Side Of Human Nature
By LaTina Emerson
Psychologists and other researchers have focused for generations on human dysfunction, working to understand and treat mental illness and a range of antisocial behaviors.
But a growing number of researchers are shifting their focus to study the opposite side of the coin — positive emotions and prosocial behavior. Increased funding is helping to nurture a field that tries to answer questions such as why people share, work together and give to charity, said Elliott Albers, director of the Center for Behavioral Neuroscience at Georgia State University.
"To truly understand the brain, you need to understand both positive and negative emotions," Albers said. "It's important because if you want to understand what causes the brain to break and what causes disease and mental disorders, you need to understand how it normally works."
Though still a young field, positive psychology has found its way into therapy sessions and school curricula. Businesses, including Fed Ex and IBM, have hired "happiness coaches" to work with employees, and the U.S. Army has incorporated the field into its soldier fitness program, according to the American Psychological Association.
Georgia State scientists are searching for answers on how the brain interprets and expresses positive emotions such as empathy and compassion. They're also studying prosocial behaviors, or behaviors that benefit others, such as cooperation, altruism and sharing.
The John Templeton Foundation, which has been pushing for more research on positive emotions, recently awarded Georgia State's Center for Behavioral Neuroscience a $3.4 million grant to support several projects.
Here's a look at some of the research being done at Georgia State:
Diana Robins and Tricia King in the Department of Psychology are studying empathy, the ability to understand what others are feeling, in healthy young adults.
The duo's previous work focused on people who struggle to understand and express emotion, including people with autism, traumatic brain injuries, brain tumors and developmental brain disorders.
They have developed 10-second videos of "friendly and unfriendly" shapes they show to participants lying in a Magnetic Resonance Imaging machine, a scanner that allows researchers to view images of brain activity in real time. After each video, the subjects answer questions.
"We can look and see which brain regions are activated during the task to understand what parts of the brain are coming together to help them interpret the videos," King said.
"You'd be surprised that a lot of college students will say things like, 'That triangle was being mean. He hit that circle. Why was he chasing him?' They infer intentions, feelings and thoughts even when looking at little shapes."
Some participants will be given the hormone oxytocin, believed to promote bonding and other behaviors, to determine if it changes brain activation during the task. Other participants will receive a placebo.
"The prediction is the oxytocin will enhance the social interpretation system in the brain," Robins said. "We're hoping this study will help us understand social behavior in healthy individuals. In addition, this work may guide us toward some treatment studies we can do with groups who have disrupted empathy and social understanding, like brain injuries, autism, etc."
Sarah Brosnan of the Department of Psychology and Bill Hopkins of Georgia State's Neuroscience Institute are working with Michael Beran at the university's Language Research Center to study how primates make decisions about cooperation.
Like the humans in the empathy study, some of the chimpanzees, capuchin monkeys and rhesus monkeys will be given oxytocin to see if it changes how they behave compared to subjects who receive a placebo.
"I'm particularly interested in whether or not these hormones are part of the mechanism that allows individuals to decide when to cooperate, with whom to cooperate, and so forth," Brosnan said. "In particular, I want to know if oxytocin will make individuals more likely to cooperate."
Brosnan will use techniques from experimental economics, which uses simple games to explore how individuals make complex decisions
In one of the games, known as the assurance game or stag hunt, two hunters in the forest can successfully bring down a stag, or adult deer, if they work together.
The primates will play a computerized version using icons to symbolize the stag or a hare. If both players coordinate and choose the stag, they each receive four pieces of food. Choosing the hare is the safe bet because it doesn't require cooperation, and each player gets a piece of food no matter what their partner chooses.
"The tension in the game is do you trust your partner to keep going for the big reward? If so, you should chose the stag. If not, do you take a hare and leave your partner with nothing?" Brosnan said.
In previous studies, Brosnan tested cooperation in four primate species – humans, chimps, capuchins and rhesus monkeys – using the assurance game.
She found that with the right circumstances, all subjects find the best payoff outcome requires cooperating. Capuchin monkeys performed poorest on the task, and rhesus monkeys performed as well as humans.
Michael Price, an associate professor in the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies, is studying altruism, with a focus on why people give to charity.
Understanding charitable giving is important because it accounts for 2 percent of the U.S. Gross Domestic Product and will need to increase as government support for many organizations dwindles, Price said.
Price and his collaborators have partnered with nonprofits in Atlanta and nationwide to study why people give to these organizations and what nonprofits can do to increase donations.
So far, they've learned people respond to both the price of donating and the direct benefit to an individual. Charitable raffles are successful because of the potential to gain something of value. Also, people will increase their donation to acquire something they want, such as a commemorative sweatshirt, and they're more generous if given a small token of appreciation such as address labels, Price said.
People are also more likely to give if an attractive woman asks them, though this only has short-term benefits. And they're more likely to give if they can identify with the person asking them, the study showed. But the impacts can differ depending on whether a person already has a history of giving to a particular organization.
"I think what we've learned is there's no one motive necessarily for giving," Price said. "The motives are much deeper than what we think, and we're only scratching the surface on what we know."
Price is collaborating with researchers at the University of Chicago and University of Wisconsin-Madison on the altruism studies. Their research is supported by a $4.8 million grant from the John Templeton Foundation.
Price and his partners in Chicago and Madison have also studied sharing. The team recently worked with 250 pre-school children at Chicago Heights Early Childhood Center in Chicago Heights, Ill.
In the study, a child was brought into a room with two clear plastic boxes and two plates. The child was told one box belonged to him and the other to a child who wasn't in the room. Sometimes, the child had a plate full of stickers in front of him, and the absent child's plate was empty. Sometimes, it was the reverse or some other mix. The distribution of stickers in the boxes also varied.
The child's task was to tell the researcher how to divvy up the stickers on the plates without dipping into the stickers in the clear boxes.
The study found that the children's decisions about taking and sharing are affected by the initial distribution of stickers and the choices available to them.
"Whoever has the stickers initially on their plate winds up with slightly more stickers in the end," Price said.
"We share some, we take some, but we don't share and take equally," he said. "If the other person has stickers on their plate, we'll leave them with more stickers than we'll give them if we're sharing. You wind up better if I'm taking from you than if I have to share with you."
The study also showed sharing is a learned behavior.
"Our parents or society are conditioning us to feel like we need to share and that we shouldn't take," Price said. "That children act on such lessons suggests that guilt develops at a very young age."

Hoffman's Gun Center got broken into when criminals crashed a truck through the front of the building.
This just really bums me out, I bought one of my Paras, my Baer, and one of my Colt Mustangs there.
It's a fantastic shop with great staff, and they are planning on opening a range across the street. I hope this doesn't delay their plans.
Hoffman's is one of the largest shops in the North East, and is a stocking dealer for every major firearms manufacturer.
I hope the thieves didn't get too much out of there.
Bummer. Good thing you didn't have anything on layaway there, JD.
When youre wounded and left on Afghanistans plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Just roll to your rifle and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier.

Video Here:
Typical liberal media talking about several "high-powered assault rifles". I may be wrong but I don't think Hoffman's carries/sells Class III weapons.
I imagine the store will be getting some concrete barriers in front now. I can also see the liberal democratic turd politicians in this state trying to shut them down stating they are unsafe or some such crap.
Just bought the SP101 there Monday night.
Cabela's may have a larger inventory, but the folks behind the counter don't know crap. The salesperson couldn't even figure out how to open the action when I looked at a SP101 there, I had to tell him how to do it.
You know there may be more but this is the second time I've heard in the news of a smash and grab with a truck at a gun store. I would instantly think it is either gang members or other scum that are doing this not to keep the weapons but to sell them on the streets. I feel sorry for the gun store owner as its bad for his buisness and bad for the look of gun owners. I mean the first thing an anti-gun person will say is "OMG see this is why they need to get rid of guns, I mean look how easy it is for them to get them."
Too many gangs are looking for weapons.

Man Arrested In Gun Store Smash-And-Grab
By VANESSA DE LA TORRE | Courant Staff Writer
3:41 PM EST, November 15, 2007
NEWINGTON - A New Britain man has been arrested in connection with the smash-and-grab at Hoffman's Gun Center in which a truck crashed through the store's front entrance and merchandise was stolen, police said today.
Flor Santiago, 27, of Monroe Street was charged with conspiracy to commit third-degree burglary, conspiracy to commit first-degree criminal mischief, conspiracy to commit second-degree larceny and 14 counts of conspiracy to commit theft of a firearm.
Police would not comment on any other possible suspects, citing the investigation.
The truck that rammed through the gun shop Wednesday morning was a 1996 Dodge Ram 3500 with a dump body, said Sgt. Jeanine Allin. The truck was stolen from KTM Construction in New Britain. The owner did not know it was stolen until contacted by police, Allin said.
Police officers found the truck when responding to the store's burglar alarm, which was triggered around 3:25 a.m., authorities said.
"Merchandise was taken, but I'm not going to get into the specifics of what was taken," Allin said.
State police and officers from nearby towns helped search the building at 2585 Berlin Turnpike and the surrounding area Wednesday but found no one.
Newington police arrested Santiago with the help of New Britain police and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, authorities said.
Hopefully all of the dirtbags that did this will get collared, and Hoffman's will be re-open quickly for business.

The YMCA and scientists join forces in a new, NIA-supported clinical trial testing aerobic exercise as a way to slow cognitive decline in people with MCI.
On September 18, older adults will join the U.S. Surgeon General, the Director of the National Institute on Aging (NIA), fitness expert Donna Richardson, and leaders from a number of agencies and organizations for a fitness walk in the Nation's capital. The event, which features the NIA Go4Life exercise and physical activity campaign and Step It Up!
In collaboration with the White House Conference on Aging, Go4Life, the national exercise and physical activity campaign for people 50+ from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is bringing together more than a hundred federal, state and local partners to encourage older adults to move more and stay active for better health with advancing age.
Physical activity may help prevent atrophy of the hippocampus, a brain region important for learning and memory that often shrinks in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease. A recent study that looked at the rate of atrophy over 18 months in cognitively normal older adults suggests that physical activity may help prevent or delay this Alzheimer's-related change.
Register now for the June 4 webinar.
A carefully structured, moderate physical activity program can reduce risk of losing the ability to walk without assistance, perhaps the single most important factor in whether vulnerable older people can maintain their independence, a study has found.
Older people who lose their mobility have higher rates of disease, disability, and death. A substantial body of research has shown the benefits of regular physical activity for a variety of populations and health conditions. But none has identified a specific intervention to prevent mobility disability.
Increased physical activity has been linked to numerous health benefits, including improved cardiovascular and respiratory health, insulin sensitivity, bone and muscle strength, and cognitive function. In addition, physical activity is associated with reductions in coronary heart disease, stroke, some cancers, type 2 diabetes, and depression. For most health outcomes, benefits increase as the amount of physical activity increases through higher intensity, greater frequency or longer duration, although the magnitude of these benefits diminishes with advancing age.
A randomized clinical trial of 100 patients found that diet and exercise—alone or combined—improved exercise capacity in obese older patients with a particular type of heart failure. The trial is the first to show that this dietary intervention was effective in improving exercise capacity and reducing symptoms in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF). The results appeared in the January 6, 2016, issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. The study was supported primarily by the NIA.
Build up your strength, flexibility, and balance with this free workout routine. These exercises are the best for older adults, at home or on the go.
Age-related brain lesions known as white matter hyperintensities (WMH) have been linked to movement problems and disabilities in late life. A recent study suggests that physically active older people may have fewer movement problems caused by WMH. The study, supported in part by NIA, was published online March 11, 2015, in Neurology.

and on and on and on...
Racism does exist and to an extreme for a lot of people ON BOTH sides of the coin. There are blacks, whites, mexicans, asians, arabs, etc... that all hate the other races enough to bias their decisions on that alone. That is what it is, always has been, and probably always will be.
It's a shame that some kid is dead. It's a shame he put himself in a situation like that. It's a shame the watchman guy ruined his life. It's a shame the watchman made very poor decisions no matter what color the person was on the other side of the gun.

Just like key/startkey/endkey/limit are not part of the map/reduce picture, they appear to be implemented separately to operate on the results of the view created by map/reduce. This would be an enhancement to querying the view, not in generating the view itself. Feel free to slap me down, as I'm talking from someone who has not looked at the source, is fairly new to couch and is talking from limited experience(I've got thick skin and a desire to learn :). However, set intersections and to a lesser degree, joins, are a common and useful idiom especially when working with sets. And views are sets, couchdb already supports limited set operations by giving simple sub-select operations. The reason, I'm guessing, is do to the natural idiom and freeing the client from doing the work. Intersections are a natural progression of view querying, in my opinion. trying-to-get-someone-else-to-do-my-work'ly, -Jeff

CINCINNATI � The University of Cincinnati women�s soccer team signed seven student-athletes to its 2012 recruiting class, head coach Michelle Salmon announced Wednesday.�Today�s class marks a great deal of diligence and hard work amongst our staff,� Salmon said. �I cannot be more thankful to my staff who have helped our program gather one of the strongest classes in UC history.�The incoming freshman class will add depth throughout the roster as the group includes three defenders, two forwards, one midfielder and a goalkeeper.�This class provides talent in every position and with the additions of this group of student-athletes as well as the returning players I know we are poised for a great 2012 campaign," said Salmon.
Three incoming Bearcats hale from Cincinnati; goalkeeper Natalie Smith, defender Sally Beiting and forward Laura Rose.
"When you look at the additions of Natalie Smith and Laura Rose, as well as Sally Beiting, you can continue to see our commitment to keeping the best talent in Cincinnati here at UC," Salmon added. In addition the Cincinnati trio, four 2012 are from the Southern California/Arizona region. Salmon believes the national recruitment is a reflection of her coaching staff�s efforts and speaks well about the attractiveness of Cincinnati.�On a more of a national stage, the University of Cincinnati is a tremendous academic institution, which helps us attract student-athletes from across the country,� said Salmon. �As a staff we have spent countless hours recruiting across the country to find players that not only match the character of our program, but can also excel in the classroom. With the additions of Callie Taylor, Kayla Karlsson and Kelly Latimer from California and Sydney Tomlinson from Arizona we have not only added tremendous soccer players, we have also added great students to our university.�

OK guys, this is getting beyond me, I cant get Ubuntu to use the DIAL up USB modem, I have gone through every post on this site regarding this type of modem, and have got nowhere fast.
am not a programmer so can anyone provide the commands to set the USB ports up so that Gnome PPP can see them?
All it sees is the com ports, my modem is listed as "dev/ttyACM0" and that is not showng up on the Gnome program
I'm lost.
Oh the type of modem is a "Conexant RD-02-D400" from Dell, it plugs into one of the USB ports and the phone line plugs into it'

Super aggressive behavior
I have a beautiful 8 month old dog he is half german Shepard and half husky and he is extremely aggressive!! I have to lock him up in the back yard whenever i have a friend visit me. My family is scared of him and I'm scared to even keep trying to introduce him to the family. I wanted t send him to school but it is too expensive for me rite now. At home with me and my parents and brother my dog is very lovable he doesn't bite even when we play he is never too rough on us. Any tips please?
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
Also i was told by a dog lover that my dogs aggresive behavior is because he is mixed with husky. Is this true?? Will my dog always be like this?

Breed has nothing to do with aggression. You need to have an experienced trainer evaluate your dog and lay out a training plan.
David Winners
You don't need to send him away for training. Find a good, experienced trainer and take classes with them so you can learn along with your dog. Taking classes is less expensive than a board and train situation.
And I agree wholeheartedly! Having Husky blood or being a mixed breed in general has nothing to do with his behavior.
Agree also with a trainer/behaviorist. I will go further and say private classes, especially with behavioral issues. While your pup is being trained, you will be trained as well. Since this is a family pet, all should participate, so the handling of this pup is consistent - no confusion for him or you/family. The big plus for you, is you will gain confidence in yourself to handle him.
While you are doing the research for the trainer; a few things to keep in mind. You stated you and your family are scared of him and/or scared when handling him around family. Your dog is picking up on that and this can cause him to act out more. As tough as it may be, stay calm when handling him.
When you are out and have him on leash and he acts out. Your first instinct is to pull him back, don't pull backwards. He will automatically pull/lunge forwards even harder. Instead, step to the side and turn, walk him away.
Post where you are located, someone may be able to give a good recommendation for a trainer in your area.
Iwould start with muzzle training him, that will also relax you. Petco has a good basket muzzle; heavy duty and the dog being able to pant, eat and drink. Foolow the instructions on the package or ask your trainer.

I take that it's new? Horsehide (if that's what it is) is a tougher hide and will take some time. Give it a few weeks and it will go away on its own.
This is a discussion on Squeeky IWB Holster? within the Defensive Carry Holsters & Carry Options forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I carry a G23 in a CrossBreed Supertuck holster and have noticed that it squeaks or makes "leathery" noises when I walk... Not sure why ...
I carry a G23 in a CrossBreed Supertuck holster and have noticed that it squeaks or makes "leathery" noises when I walk... Not sure why or if anyone has had this issue and has a way to fix this. I have treated (softened) the leather twice, most recent about a month and a half ago.
Hope someone can help!

I have the same issue with my Crossbreed, and it is indeed the horsehide leather SuperTuck Shorty. I hope it will go away over time as GeorgiaCarry has stated above. I've only had mine for a couple weeks now.
Mine is horsehide as well, I have had it for a few months now... Perhaps it just needs to work itself out.
This was in the email from Theis when I bought their IWB holster. Maybe one of his suggestions will help;
New leather will squeak until it gets broke in good, but don't worry it will totally stop! you can put a little baby or talcum powder on it around the clip area and where the kydex meets the leather from time to time to help stop the squeaking. You can also use any commercial leather conditioner. Apply liberally to the front side only. One of my customers said he stuck a small piece of moleskin on the back of the clips and his never squeaked. You can also Google "holster squeak" or "leather squeak"and find some other remedies there also.
Here at the rock, we have two basic rules...
Glock 27 for every day carry (LCP for deep conceal when necessary)... Glock 23 for the home.
Call me Iggy. Only my mother calls me by my full given name.
I experienced the same problem with the same holster. I tried all the remedies without any luck. I finally resolved the problem by ditching the Crossbreed for a MTAC Minotaur. OMO YMMV

...spray dry lube will also work...Elmers' is good
I put rubber washers on mine which took away 80% of the squeak, the rest I got rid of by putting about 3 layers of elec tape on the back of the clips. It has more traction when it rubs the leather. The last thing I would do is use powder on a leather holster. You can use Mink Oil to moisturize and speed up break in, but drying it out with powder is nuts. Quick fix but not smart.
there is a huge thread on this. I will try and find it and link it. There are some real good ideas. I think we all go thru the squeaky holster syndrome.
Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything.
Wyatt Earp
If someone doesn't have moleskin on hand, you can use the soft side of some 3M velcro tape.
try applying some Neutral Shoe wax on the holster & then buff it off. Do this a few times every once in a while should stop any squeek & the wax will protect the leather with out damage to it
A little baby powder under the clips works wonders, made mine quit a long time a go and no more squeaks...
Here is the thread MrBuckwheat was referring to I think.
Crossbreed Supertuck is CREAKING!
This was my solution to the problem.

This weekend I headed up to Chicago for a little Wrecking Crew Reunion with my two best friends. I was a bit nervous on Friday about whether or not I'd actually make it. You may or may not know that there were some pretty severe storms and tornados tearing through the south on Friday... I just said a little prayer and headed on to the airport, and we managed to take off before a pretty bad storm hit.
Granted, I had a VERY bumpy flight. It turns out, Amanda almost didn't get out Toronto due to bad weather and also had a bumpy flight. We both finally made it and reunited with Steph and her hubby at the train station around 9pm. We were greeted by pouring rain and were soaked by the time we made the walk back to their house, but that didn't stop us from downing some pizza and having a fun night hanging out and catching up.
On Saturday, the weather pretty much sucked. We went out for some lunch and had some girl time in the afternoon, but it was cold. And windy. And raining. Oh, and then it was snowing. That was a surprise, and I wondered if this sign would become relevant.
Later that evening, we headed out and checked out this swanky bar called Edge. We had a lovely evening, and the owner even bought us a round. Sweet. It's always so good to get together with these girls and catch up, even if we're not doing a ton.
On Sunday, we grabbed some lunch and just hung out until it was time to head out to the airport. It was a fairly uneventful weekend since the weather was a bit disappointing, but it was still just awesome to be able to spend the weekend with these gals. We were talking at one point about how we wonder if other people are as lucky as we are to have this kind of friendship... the kind where you can go for months without seeing each other and keeping in touch by email and then getting together and picking up like we see each other every week.
I wouldn't be who I am without these girls.
Even more exciting? I get to see Steph again at least 2-3 more times this year... and all three of us will be together in Chicago when I go up for the marathon. Super awesome.

2.5 Cracked head help (pic inside)
1 Attachment(s)
Hi everyone,
New here.. I originally started to change my first head gasket on my brothers TJ (overheating). Once I got everything apart I noticed the crack in the picture. The gasket didn't look bad at all. All cylinders had coolant in them. The crack is in the middle 2. The cylinder closest to the cabin had the most coolant tho, is that normal? This is my first time tearing into an engine. The only thing I can think of now is that he needs a new head. Am I right in assuming this? He basically said he drove it till it shut off (WOW). I def. will be checking the block for warpage. What are the chances that's cracked too? How could I tell?? It's stuck in my driveway now. I really don't want to deal with a junk yard head when autozone lists a head for $300 something w/ warranty, etc. Anyone have any luck w/ autozone?
Sorry for the long post/questions. Basically I'm stuck on where to go from here. Any help would be much appreciated! He def. doesn't have enough money for a 4.0. Looking for the cheapest/safest fix :)
First off welcome to the forum.
Second autozone has its pro's and cons along with any auto retailer. With the head being cracked like that and him "driving till it shut off" usually isn't a good thing. check around on the price from other retailers in your area you might find a better deal. a new (used) 4.0 on craigslist shouldn't cost more than 400 bucks or so, installing it may be another story. I'm not 100% on what else you should check but there are plenty of other guys/gals on here that will answer your questions with great detail. good luck on your project.
I know right? I thought I taught him better than running it like that. It was originally the water pump that let go... Bearings everywhere! Unfortunately, I'm gonna be movin soon, so I just wanna get it running again and the head seems like the quickest way. Thanks for the help! Keep 'em coming.
sounds like my little bro. I bought him an 89 cherokee and it has a few problems to it. it runs but now we can't get it to pass emmissions. you tell them to do something and they either do the complete opposite or nothing at all. pisses me off at times.
There's a crack there?
You say there's coolant in all cylinders. Does the crack extend the length of the head?
The coolant in the cylinders could just be the remnants left in the head drained out as you pulled it.
What made you think the head gasket was bad?
White smoke?
Odd smell to the exhaust?
Pressure test?
Losing coolant but not leaking?
I'm pretty sure you can use a long block from a Cherokee, should be pretty cheap from the local wrecking yard.
Oh, and to check to see if the block is warped (I assume you mean the mating surface with the head) The only way I know is to use a good strait edge along the surface and look for any gaps.
Yeah, the crack is in front of the screwdriver... Good point on the coolant drained as I pulled it.
Had tons of white smoke, overheating,coolant loss, exhaust odor, coolant on spark plug. Didn't bother with a pressure test due to all the above symptoms.
autozone is great in my experience!
good price on head
I have a jeep cherokee with the same engine. I found a head online at automotix.net for around 160 after you get the core deposit back. thought i would give you a heads up.
if you have a good local machine shop, you might check with them first. i had a 360 with cracks between the valve seats that they repaired the cracks for relatively cheap and it lasted a long time after. looking at the location of the crack in your picture, im not sure if itd be repairable, my gut says no, but itd be worth checking.

Theater review by Adam Feldman. Pershing Square Signature Center (Off Broadway). By Michael Perlman. Dir. Perlman. With ensemble cast. 1hr 40mins. No intermission.
Revenge is not very sweet in From White Plains, a poignant and balanced look at the psychic bruises of teenage cruelty. The play begins with an acceptance speech about the unacceptable. Dennis (Karl Gregory) has won an Oscar for his screenplay about his geeky, gay high-school friend Mitchell, who has since killed himself; he uses his television platform as an anti-bully pulpit, making a point of calling out Mitchell's primary abuser by name. The bully in question, Ethan (Aaron Rossini), watches the speech from home, dumbfounded; now 30, he barely remembers his thoughtless hallway jabs at Dennis and Mitchell, but he knows that his life is about to be upended. And Dennis keeps hitting him: In a furious Internet video, he attacks the "people—for lack of a better word" who denied Mitchell's personhood. The irony of reducing Ethan to subhuman status is not lost on Dennis's benign, accommodating boyfriend, Gregory (Jimmy King), who tries to intervene. Like Ned Weeks in The Normal Heart, however, Dennis doesn't allow much room for anyone else on his soapbox.
"Who's the bully? Right?" asks a defensive, panicky Ethan of his best friend, John (Craig Wesley Divino). But Michael Perlman's probing drama—written in collaboration with his able cast—does not settle for so easy a reversal. Although Ethan may have grown up in some ways, he's still a bit of a jerk; and while Dennis may be dislikably insensitive and self-righteous, the play addresses the question of bullying with sincerity and insight. From White Plains is too neat in some places and sloppy in others (one accidental encounter, useful to the plot, feels contrived), but it makes powerful points about the persistence of damage. Ethan, at least, has had the luxury of moving on; in exacting the vengeance he has longed for, Dennis remains cramped in high-school mode, stuck in the office of his principles.—Adam Feldman

So well written and performed, I felt so lucky to witness such an amazing play. I found myself having such mixed emotions about each characters' motives, angry one moment only to sympathize the next moment. Kudos to all four cast members. Jimmy King in particular was great, playing the sympathetic, supportive boyfriend with such fragility and tenderness. Karl Gregory's speech confronting his bully was revelatory. Excellent, excellent, excellent and timely play.
Unbelievably good!

The orange flavour in the pancakes is really nice and when you top it off with the syrup it is amazing! I cut up pieces of fresh orange to sprink over the top.
- 1 1/4 cups (310 ml) all-purpose flour
- 1 Tbs (15 ml) sugar
- 1 tsp (5 ml) baking powder
- 1/2 tsp (2 ml) ground ginger
- A pinch of ground cloves
- A grating of fresh nutmeg
- 1 1/4 cups (310 ml) orange juice
- 1 egg
- 2 Tbs (30 ml) melted butter
- 1/2 tsp (2 ml) vanilla extract
1. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and spices in a large mixing bowl.
2. In a separate bowl whisk together the remaining ingredients.
3. Add to the dry ingredients and stir just enough to incorporate – a few small lumps are okay.
4. Pour about 1/4 cup (60 ml) batter on a lightly greased griddle or skillet over moderate heat for each pancake.
5. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2 minutes, and turn to cook the other side until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes more.
6. Serve with Orange syrup on top.

Took a fine young man on his first duck hunt this morning.
Shortly after first light we had 6 mallards work as well as you could ask, 3 passes and locked up on the 4th. He got to see them work around and dip their wings and turn back to the call. Don't know if his eyes got too big but he didn't connect with them 20 yards and backpeddling. I could tell he was a little dissappointed but I told him we all miss once in awhile Shortly after we had a pair of ruddys decoy in he missed on the 1 shot as they were sitting down and they took off at mach 1, fearing another scratch his second shot skipped the drake across the water. Another pair of mallards, this time 3 passes and locked up 15 yards out...unfortunately no dice. Next up 3 buffies that came in like they were on a rail and he folded 2 up like dishrags. We also had 2 geese come through about 35 yards and 3 feet off the water with no luck. He also managed to shoot 3 coots on the wing, I don't if I've ever even seen coots on the wing :cool: .
All in all a good morning. He really wanted one of those big ol' greenheads but he was all smiles all morning, thanking me over and over again.
The picture says it all
Just curious, did anyone else get after them this morning?
PS - Are there any taxidermists out there that might do a freebie for the young man on his buffie? Or possibly even reduced cost and I'll pick up the tab as money is tight with their

Family Law
Family Law Questions? Ask a Family Lawyer Online.
Hello - Thank you for contacting JustAnswer. My name is Michael; I look forward to helping you with your family law problem today.
CPS calls the training Family Based Safety Services. They offer these services in situations in which they have done an investigation and feel that the parent's parenting skills are lacking and that education would be the best next step. The children can be taken if the abuse is more severe and can't be helped or prevented by education.
i'm not having a problem, i just want to learn more about CPS to prepare for my talkshow
No problem. Hopefully that website will be helpful.
my question is, normally, if mom hits the child, will CPS take the child away? what would be their solutions?
how does CPS monitor the progress of the abusing parent or find out that the parent is not repeating the same behavior?
That would depend on the type of hit, if there was an injury, has it occurred in the past, etc.
isn't that a risk of leaving the child on that household?
Sure, I think there is always a risk in that situation. But that is what CPS is trained to do - assess the situation.
i mean, for example, CPS determined that child was hit and decided to make mom taking course, how can CPS ind out if mom is not continueing that behavior?
Okay, here's what happens:
When someone is reported to CPS, a case worker is assigned. The caseworker beings the investigation. They talk to the parent, child, other siblings, inspect the home, inspect the child's person, and do many other things to get a clear picture of what the situation is like.
The caseworker then decides:
IF they make the determination that the child is at further risk, they can decide to take the child out of the home and/or give the education classes.
who has a duty to report?
does teacher has a more special duty and will be punished more severe for failing to report?
and the rest of the non-professional has a duty but do not have to report? and will not be punished?
Each state has their own laws. Generally, teachers, social workers, psychologists, and other professionals in positions of trust have duties to report.
thanks so muhc, i appreciate your help, one last question;
i guess CPS is not always there to punish parents, sometimes they are there to help parents to become better parents.
There are there to protect the child. Children need their parents. If they can help the parents be better parents, they do. The kids are the priority.
thanks you. i have no further question

Ventana Light Screen
Works like a roller blind, this 9' light screen can be adjusted in length/height for multi-uses. It provides multi-directional lighting, so you can focus light downward when it is rolled up for direct reading light, or create a screen for dividing space. I dig this product. Big time!
These beautiful, sconce type lamps would work in any room, but I'm seeing them in bathrooms, walk in closets, and hallway niches. Create a peaceful, soothing "aura" in any solitary space. Cooler than a lava lamp ;)Tags: home, lamps, lighting, light, interior design, home decor, decor, house, interior decorAdded 9 Years Ago from 2modern

The .357 SIG 125 gr. Gold Dot should be shallower than the 9mm 124 gr. +P Gold Dot since the velocity has been cranked up about 150 fps. If they used the same bullet design, it's probable that the "petals" would shear off due to overexpansion. Basically, the expanded petals of the 124 gr. Gold Dot would not be able to handle the extra stress placed on them by the increased energy and velocity as the faster a hollow point bullet goes, the more violent the expansion will be.
Now I have no idea whether or not that would actually happen, but Speer must have changed the Gold Dot design for a pretty darn good reason.

Morning Silver Market Report 9/10
Compiled 09/10/12 6:00 AM (CT)
Statistics: London Gold Fix $1,732.75 +4.75 LME Copper Stocks 214,750 tons -1,300 tons
SILVER MARKET FUNDAMENTALS: (6:00 AM CT) As US economic data continues to disappoint, the market's expectations for the Fed to start another round of quantitative easing grows, and that has traders looking to buy precious metals, including silver, as a hedge. Friday's disappointing jobs data seemed to convince the market that the Fed may be forced to act ahead of the election, raising the possibility of an announcement after the FOMC meeting this week.
December silver traded both sides of unchanged overnight as it consolidated Friday's upside breakout that followed the jobs report, and we would not be surprised to see silver move in a mostly sideways pattern ahead of the FOMC meeting on Wednesday and Thursday.
Comex Silver stocks were 141.385 million ounces up 570,249.
The Commitments of Traders Futures and Options report as of August 28th showed non-commercial traders were net long 35,293 contracts, an increase of 4,430 contracts for the week. Non-commercial and nonreportable traders combined held a net long position of 48,786 contracts, an increase of 6,626. The buying trend is positive. Spec net long positions are the highest they have been since March, but they are a long way from being historically overbought.
OUTSIDE MARKET DEVELOPMENTS: (6:00 AM CT) Asian equity markets were mixed during overnight trading, with the Japanese Nikkei down 0.03% while the Shanghai A Share index was up 0.33%. European stock indices are generally close to unchanged levels early this morning, although Italian stocks are down by more than 0.50%. US stock futures are posting moderate losses during overnight trading, while the Dollar has recovered a small portion of Friday's huge selloff.
The Chinese trade surplus during August was 26.7 billion Yuan, larger than expected and due in large part to a sharp drop in Chinese imports. Japanese GDP during the second quarter was up 0.7%, lower than market expectations.
US economic data during today's session will include a reading on July Consumer Credit released after the close.

Solid Logic has been using Amazon Web Services (AWS) since 2008 now with great results. Today was a big day oakley sunglasses cheap for the AWS team. They launched a new NoSQL service -DynamoDB- today around noon. Like the other AWS offerings (EC2, S3, etc.) it is a scalable, variable cost service. Here is the product listing page and other relevant info: http://aws.amazon.com/dynamodb/
Werner Vogels' blog: http://www.allthingsdistributed.com/2012/01/amazon-dynamodb.html
Announcement Video:
DynamoDB Overview Video:
We primarily use EC2, S3, CloudFront, and RDS (MySQL as a service). AWS allows us to be much more agile and can reduce system complexity. It removes SLTI from many of the day-to-day demands of setting cheap football jerseys up and managing Cheap Jerseys physical infrastructure. By using AWS, we are able to launch an internal or client application in minutes to hours, instead of days to weeks.
There are tons of great reasons to switch many use cases over to an AWS cloud-hosted infrastructure instead of a physical one. In the future, we will work up our spin on a cost-benefit model for AWS. There are many good ones available on the web, most notably here – http://aws.amazon.com/economics/. Unfortunately, many of the ones available do not include any intangible benefits. In this case, I am defining an intangible benefit as something that is "fuzzy" to Sale put a price figure on and is subjective in nature. Things like how it can affect focus, hiring practices, time-to-launch, required in-house skill sets, etc. would fit into this category. cheap nfl jerseys These items can have a huge impact on the decision making process, especially for small-to-medium size firms or firms outside of concentrated technology areas with a large pool of qualified candidates.
We are excited about today's announcement and look forward to using DynamoDB cheap nba jerseys for a product that we have coming to market in 2012. As we begin to work with it more, we will try to document our findings and include them in the blog over here.
