Things I liked: Bought this rifle for a backyard plinker and it has more than satisfied me in this respect! Fit and finish on my rifle are excellent , I'm really impressed with the bluing job on receiver and barrel! I'd love to be a fly on the wall in their polishing room to watch one being prepped for bluing. I outfitted this rifle with one of the air force diopter sights and as the add says, ( ACCURATE, ACCURATE, ACCURATE ) I like this little rifle so much I might just have to pick one more up for the wife to use.
Things I would have changed: As I outfitted this rifle with a diopter sight I removed the factory rear as it was not needed. When doing this you end up with a stop pin and two tapped holes that need to be filled. As I just happen to have a mill in the basement there was no great problem making up a cover plate to solve this problem. Three shots of Oxpho Blue and it looks like it grew there all on its own. It would be nice if Weihrauch offered such a cover plate as it could probably be used on most of their rifle models. Also , it would be really nice if the front sight inserts came with more than just one size of the lollipop insert. I've found instead of changing the insert to shoot bullseye targets at different distances you have to figure out what size bullseye fits the insert and switch to a target with that size bullseye. Very time consuming but it works! If you only shoot at 10 meters that one insert works just fine.
What others should know: This particular rifle is a little hold sensitive. I've found for me that I can't put any pressure on the pistol grip at all. Just rest my thumb on top of the wrist and pull the trigger. On the other hand, after a little pellet testing I can truthfully say at ten meters this is a one hole rifle!!! It shoots a whole lot better than than I ever will! And the best part is I can roll cat food cans around at 40-50YDS all afternoon long. As far as pellets, I lucked out! It hates any of the RWS pellets, H&N not much better, but boy does it like the JSB exact RS and Crosman Premier hollow points! As I have an unlimited supply of the CP'S at the local WallyWorld I'll let you figure out which one I"ll be shooting One final note. I know that this is not considered a hunting rifle, but don't tell that to the three squirrels, one rabbit, and many blackbirds that came to visit my blueberry patch this summer. Keep it under 25YDS and take head shots.

Things I liked: Quality is what I expected. I expected to pay for a premium import and that is what I got. The trigger is very good without adjustment. Some people are overly critical about it. It is just a flat out Top quality sporting trigger out of the box. I feel no problem shooting this rifle to the best of my ability. The fit and finish of this rifle is fantastic. Especially looking at most rifles these days. I have no imperfections of any kind on my rifle. Even the butt pad is fitted perfectly. I can tell the red paint on the safety will wear off with time. The open sights are very usable. Some people may be overly critical about them as well but they offer a great sight picture and with all the combinations you are sure to find what you like.
Things I would have changed: you will see this complaint a lot regarding the rubbing or galling. It is unfortunate that this quality product is affected by that. I was able to correct mine by accident and I do not advocate the way I did. Please do a Google search on how to fix it. If weirauch doesn't want to fix the design they should at least offer the derlin insert to fix it with. This is literally the only problem with the rifle. My rifle buzzes a little bit but I'm used to my Diana 45 so this is very minor to me.
What others should know: Get this rifle. Even with the negative things that some say this rifle is a flat out class act. This rifle is just as accurate as you are maybe more so. When I miss I know it's my fault. I have noticed no shot sensitivity especially when shooting small plastic army men empty Co2 powerlets and dandelion puffs. I also shoot bigger stalks on some of the weeds in my yard. I'm not a great shot but this rifle is a perfect trainer. I can shoot 1/2" groups with a few different pellets. Although I'm not good enough to shoot that good all the time. STOP BUYING CHEAP RIFLES! buy quality the first time. You will end up saving money. This rifle is the last one I would ever get rid of it ever came to that.

Things I liked: Size, medium power, easy to cock, light, accuracy. Good bluing and decent stock finish.
Things I would have changed: Nothing important really. Just one thing, I would have gladly paid a bit more for a nicer walnut stock in this otherwise beautiful little rifle. It is much better than it looks.
What others should know: I was prepared for mediocre accuracy for the first 100 shots as many have expressed. It was not the case. After spending the first ten shots out of the box making slight adjustments to the open sights, my second ten shots cut a single ragged hole at 10 yards with Hobby pellets. It simply wants to group. It also likes Meisterkugeln at short distances. With a scope and at a bit longer distances it also makes single holes with JSB Exact and domed Premiers. There is very little vibration and relatively low noise. The only minor disappointment is with the Rekord trigger that is not as smooth as I had expected. It is certainly OK but not as good as the one in my old Diana 34. It might need some break-in so I will wait some time before making adjustments.

I am not a fan of springers, having only shot a Diana 34 and just one day. They do have a certain allure and purity and I suppose I should have one for further familiarity. It is frequently seen on GTA and elsewhere including here that more often than not, tuning and spring replacement right out of the box is necessary. This HW30S at $329.99 is a VERY expensive beginning springer and to not have it functioning at a high level right from the manufacturer is rather bothersome. This is also seen on higher priced models. Is this what should be expected?
Does the 30s perform well with alloy pellets?
does the 30s come with the delrin insert on the cocking arm like the 50s?

There's quite a range of Newcastle beaches too, from activity beaches with lots of surfers, swimmers and walkers, to beaches suitable to take your dog, and Newcastle beaches so big it feels like no-one else exists.
Unsurprisingly, given the location of the North East, most places are within a short drive from the coast and the sheer number means you can often have a secluded few miles of sand completely to yourself.
The big expanses of Northumberland's beaches, a Heritage Coast as well as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, are one of the North East's biggest selling points and often feature in tourism pictures of the region.
The conservation area at Druridge Bay is always popular, with walking routes behind the sand dunes. Further north lie the dramatic expanses of Bamburgh beach, with sweeping sand under big skies below the towering mass of Bamburgh Castle.
In the north lie Cheswick Sands and Beadnell Beach, popular with divers, while in South East Northumberland, parts of Newbiggin and Blyth beaches exclude dogs over the summer. Go to www.visitnorthumberland.com/coast to find out more.
Closer to Newcastle are the beaches at Tynemouth, which is on the Metro system. Here, the main Tynemouth beach is Longsands, which is often busy in summer and filled with walkers, surfers and families digging in the sand. To get out of the sun (or more probably, the rain), Crusoe's cafe underwent a refurbishment a few years ago and offers teas, coffees, hot chocolates and snacks.
On the other side of Tynemouth Priory and Castle is King Edward's Bay, a smaller beach where you can find watersports including Tynemouth Rowing Club and Tynemouth Sailing Club.
Head further south and you'll first hit South Shields and then Sunderland. Marsden Bay at South Shields has a very different feel to the sandy beaches of further north, with a dramatic cliff landscape. Families looking for things to do near Newcastle can have a great day out for children here, with plenty of caves and rocks to explore.
There's also something for the adults too – the Marsden Grotto pub, known locally as The Grotto, is an unusual pub in that it sits on the beach at the base of the cliffs, and is accessible from the top by an old lift.
Keep heading south and you'll get to Sunderland's Roker Beach, which hosts many of the city's big events including Sunderland International Airshow and the Waterfront Weekend. Go to www.visitsunderland.com for more information.

I feel like I may have given Sony a bit of a bashing recently, suggesting as I have that unless you want to mess around with using the PS3 as an HTPC, you only have the one (exclusive) game worth playing on the thing. Let us not forget, then, that Sony also has another console, of the portable variety and it's selling rather well, the new Slim & Lite version having just reached the one million units sold marker in Japan.
The PSP's predecessor took two weeks further to reach the same marker, while the big brother, the PS3, took eight months to manage as many sales. Overall sales of the PSP are now in the region of 26 million, which sounds impressive, until you notice the 54 million or so DS sales in a similar time period. Perhaps Sony should start its own series of patronising adverts implying all girls play Nintendogs on a pink console? Then again, perhaps not; although there is now a much wider variety of packages, such as, shall we say, Seamstress Red, than at the original release to tempt prospective Nintendo customers over to the dark side.
Regardless of its rival's success, there's no denying that increased uptake of the PSP is good not just for Sony, but for all owners; we need more developers to produce Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters quality games to rival the offerings such as Zelda on the DS and the more people buy PSPs the more developers will code for the console. That, if you missed it, was a subtle hint to buy one if you already haven't.

Living Life Backwards
It used to be, in the good old days, that people lived life sequentially. You moved forwards. Not completely-- we take pictures so we can look back and remember, and save a bit of the present for the future when it will then be the past. We go to class reunions, save mementos of special occasions, hold on to love letters, treasure bits and pieces of the past, and here and there, we reconnect with someone from another time and place. It grounds us, forms some connection, gives us a sense of history and meaning.
And then was the Internet and we all Googled and Oogled and found lost lives and reconnected via Email.
And there was Facebook and the past and the present are now one and the same. We live stuck in time and I'm never sure which direction I'm going. Reconnection is the rule-- I have Facebook friends from kindergarten. A few years back, I got an email from my prom date-- "Remember me, the guy in the tux 25 years ago?" Okay, it was fun. Last night we chatted on Facebook. He landed where I thought he would land (sequencing DNA, if you must know). I then found a page for my elementary school. The school name was spelled wrong and the street name was also off, but the photo...no doubt it was my elementary school. The FB members were talking about the teachers, trying to remember them all. I'd forgotten about Mr. Firestone, the 4-6th grade gym teacher. But they forgot a lot of other teachers-- I was tempted to join so that Mr. Trogler wouldn't be lost-- but did I really want to? Shouldn't I be spending time on things that move me forward? There's that book to write (oy)...dogs to walk...laundry to fold...endless paint swatches to try for my new office. Instead, here I am chatting with my prom date, thinking about Mr. Shannon --my 5th grade teacher who had us write about an invention. My invention: a machine that would type what you said-- he told me it could never be done. That and growing hair on a bald head...oh for Mr. Shannon to have met Rogaine. The things I remember. I know what's happening in the lives of my friends far and wide (Laurie's mom read to her son last night, photo on Facebook; Joan's foot hurts; my second cousin unwittingly set her alarm an hour early and didn't realize this until she was outside waiting for her ride at 6 AM...). Connection is good, but when does it become too much?

"I used a regular small sweet onion, only used 3 red potatoes and it was a little thin so I did another batch of 2 tbsp. cornstarch and water to thicken up more. Was a little bland to our taste so I added some black pepper and red pepper flakes and also added a half jar of real bacon bits. It really added some extra flavor, turned out very good."

Hello, everyone,
I received this amp for repair, (as I await the arrival of parts for my other ampilicador ......)
Checked, all the transistors, both the output, such as the power source, and none is shorted, or give erroneous readings.
When connected, no sound from the speaker, only three seconds, there is a "clock" in the speaker, then go silent.
I noticed a little swollen capacitors of the power connection, I proceeded to take away, and I have noticed that on the board and under one (C1013) had a spark in the negative, which was also, in that capacitor (see photos)
I have measured their ability, and all I get 200uF less than its value, the latter including electrolytic capacitor, took longer to read me ...
I do not know if replacing the three capacitors, or only the latter, what do you think?
What may have been caused, that spark?
The spark was caused by having a bad solder connection. It appears that the trace for that capacitor is on the top of the board. If there is no trace (not referring to the pad, but a trace that goes to the other capacitors) you will need to restore the connection between the bottom of the board (the solder pad) and the trace on top of the board.
How do you like that meter?
Then I reset the connection, apparently, there was a short between the top and the bottom of the motherboard.
(that of the welds bad .... I think more than one ...)
I repositioned the electrolytic capacitors in place, (either tinned)
When connected, (no speaker) apparently seems a good start ... but after three seconds, you hear a "click" near the LEDs, and attempts to power the red LED, and then hear a small sound sparkling, for the same area ...
Consumption is low: 1.1 A
Speaker Terminals: 0.4 v
Speaker connected to three seconds, I heard a "pow" big, moves the speaker cone to its limits, and then disconnect the battery, for fear of burning something ....
I'm a little lost ... the truth ... I do not know which way to go ...
Any ideas of where to keep checking?
If the speaker is driven to its limits, the amp has much more than 0.4v across the speaker terminals. Recheck the output transistors to see if they're shorted.
Also confirm that you have ±15v on the power supply pins of the audio op-amps.
Confirmed in more than 50v speaker terminals ....
I'll check the mosfet
Operational amplifiers, this amplifier are: U2000 and U2002?
How odd ....
I checked all the output MOSFET, and none has given me short, and not open ....
I have also checked U3 (TL072) (op amp, near the RCAS) is correct, + - 13v.
I think there are some more operational in the plates which are positioned vertically with respect to the motherboard, and are difficult to access ...
Maybe ask the scheme to Rockford ...
What do you think, Perry?
Try to get the schematic diagram from Rockford. The last time that I tried, they had not released it but that was about a year ago.
I changed a couple of emails with Rockford, unsuccessfully, it seems that you do not supply circuit diagrams ....
Well, I retired 4 MOSFET amplifier (Q2006, 2007,2008, and Q2009) I have checked, and seem to be good ....
I connected the amplifier, and interestingly, I still 14v. (decrease) in the speaker output (does not sound the previous sparkling sound)
I also checked some drivers (Q2005, 2002 and Q2004) that belong to the mosfet removed:
(tester negative probe to ground the amplifier)
B: -4.20 V and decreasing
C: 4.70 V and decreasing
E: -3.40 V and decreasing
B: -3.90 V and decreasing
C: -3.90 V and decreasing
E: -3.10 V and decreasing
Are they correct these measurements?
this amp, is it also has a square waveform on the oscilloscope?
Perry, do you think I should make the circuit, the other four mosfet to make measurements more reliable?
You cannot use voltage on the output transistors to troubleshoot with the output transistors out of the circuit.
Okay, this evening I return to solder the mosfet, sorry for my ignorance and thanks for the help, Perry.

Critical social theory and transformative learning : evidence in pre-service teachers' service-learning reflection logs
Carrington, Suzanne B. & Selva, Gitta (2010) Critical social theory and transformative learning : evidence in pre-service teachers' service-learning reflection logs. Higher Education Research and Development, 29(1), pp. 45-57.
Accepted Version
(PDF 426kB)
This paper reports on the opportunities for transformational learning experienced by a group of pre-service teachers who were engaged in service-learning as a pedagogical process with a focus on reflection. Critical social theory informed the design of the reflection process as it enabled a move away from knowledge transmission toward knowledge transformation. The structured reflection log was designed to illustrate the critical social theory expectations of quality learning that teach students to think critically: ideology critique and utopian critique. Butin's lenses and a reflection framework informed by the work of Bain, Ballantyne, Mills and Lester were used in the design of the service-learning reflection log. Reported data provide evidence of transformational learning and highlight how the students critique their world and imagine how they could contribute to a better world in their work as a beginning teacher.

ALS stands for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, and is also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. My wife's uncle has been battling the disease for close to 10 years now. We also lost a colleague in the radio industry named Glenn Williams to ALS back in 2010. It's a brutal disease! This challenge has been a great way to bring attention to it, to raise money for it's research, and to hopefully one day find a cure! To learn more about ALS CLICK HERE.
If you would like to donate to the Ice Bucket Challenge, and for more information about it – CLICK HERE
I nominate Peter Dyakowski & Mike Filer of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and the guys in Monster Truck to do it next!
(I also nominated and accepted on my boss Jim's behalf. He just doesn't know it yet. We're gonna get him when he least expects it… stayed tuned for that)

Air travelers want more self-service, study finds
By Robert Evans
GENEVA (Reuters Life!) - International airline passengers want self-service extended from online booking and kiosk check-in to security and passport control and boarding their flights, an industry report said on Wednesday.
The report, based on surveys taken at seven major airports on five continents, said most travelers also want more automation for handing in baggage and paying excess fees, reporting missing luggage and switching flights.
The surveys found that on-line booking and check-in have well overtaken the traditional methods of visiting an airline office or travel agent and collecting boarding passes from registration desks at the airport.
"People just want more self-service at every step of their journey," said Quentin Browell, spokesman for the airline industry's leading information technology supplier SITA which issues the report annually.
The report said an average of 71 percent of passengers surveyed at the seven hubs had booked in online or at automated airport kiosks for their flights, and many more would be ready to do so if they understood the process better.
But checking in on mobile phones was much less common, with only 3 percent of those questioned on the day of the survey having used the method.
The Geneva-based SITA recorded a sharp growth in passengers using airline websites to book hotels -- up from 21 percent of those surveyed in 2009 to 38 percent this year -- and to rent cars -- up from 19 to 35 percent.
There were similar increases in use of carriers' websites for other services like buying travel insurance, bus and train tickets and for ordering duty-free items in advance, SITA said. Continued...

A Love To Call Your Own - Poem by Linda Marie Van Tassell
I shall never regret loving you for all of my life.
Inside my heart, inside my soul, I am your loving wife.
From the moment that we met, life has never been the same.
Our love is a brilliant jewel, an effervescent flame.
I am embraced in ecstasy, the sweetest ever known;
and I am proud and glad to be the love you call your own.
My shattered dreams from the past are ashes upon the floor.
You gather them away from me and sweep them out the door.
Every breath I take is sweet, the winds of love impart.
The greatest love has conquered and quick-embraced my heart.
The sorrows' flow of yesterday is lost within the cries.
The only tears are those of joy that glisten in my eyes.
You are the moonlight on the wind, my ever-brilliant star.
Everything I am to you is all to me you are.

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan – Soldiers with the 2nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division, also known as Lancer Brigade, can rest easy on Camp Nathan Smith, Afghanistan, due to the efforts of a few who stand ready to respond to fires that can occur around the camp.
Instructors with Task Force Power came to Camp Nathan Smith for a three-day course to train volunteers who will act as first responders to incipient fires, or fires in the beginning stages, in an effort to prevent soldiers and civilians from being injured in the event of a fire.
"The purpose of the industrial fire brigade is to bring the soldiers up to a level of training where they can fight incipient fires or provide defense fire fighting actions," said Doug Hanson, an instructor who represents Task Force Power here in Afghanistan. "We cover items like incident command, hazard recognition, loss prevention, and of course, hands on firefighting use of the compressed air pump system."
The compressed air pump system has already been used throughout Afghanistan to fight fires before they spread.
"The compressed air pump system is a proven method of firefighting," said Hanson. "We've had a few fires this week that have been extinguished using the CAS."
Soldiers received hands-on training in the use of the compressed air pump system at the conclusion of the course during live burn exercise June 6.
"[This] training is to keep CNS safe from fires," said Cpl. William Lamm, a supply non-commissioned officer with 8th Squadron, 1st Cavalry Regiment, 2nd SBCT. "We're looking for a safe and quick response [because] that's where most of the battles are won and lost in the fire service is in the response time."
Lamm has previous firefighting experience that he hopes to use in keeping his fellow volunteers ready to take action at a moment's notice.
"I have previous firefighting experience," said Lamm. "[I want] to help get their techniques down [and] reiterate some of that here. They [instructors] have a lot of knowledge [and] I'm definitely going to stay in contact with them to keep my skills up out here.
The best skill needed for fighting fires is the discipline to practice fire safety and ensuring the tools available are ready in the event a fire takes place.
"I think the real key to fire safety here in the theater is that we ensure that exits are open," said Hanson. "You see these tents that have dividers that have been put up, [but] exit safety is probably number one. Number two would be smoke detectors, and finally the fire extinguishers. Look at them every month to ensure that they're ready to go out on mission."

Located at the end of a short canal that leads directly to San Carlos Bay. This beautiful, three bedroom house is located on a large lot with plenty of fruit trees.
Enjoy fresh orange and grapefruit juice every morning. Walk-out of the enclosed patio to a private boat dock to fish or watch the manatees play. Quiet secluded beaches minutes away by boat. Wonderful casual restaurants on the island.
Keywords: House
We are retired educators. Larry was a math teacher and Tracy was a high school principal. Tracy's parents introduced them to the island 25 years ago and they immediately fell in love with the local culture.
Tracy purchased this house in 2002
This house (not condo) is amazing! It has the capability of being whatever you want it to be! It is on a large quiet corner lot with plenty of room for your trailer if you want to bring your boat to launch from the on property boat lift. We have travelled across the world and still this is where we hope to retire. This represents true island life.
10,000 pound boat lift, heated pool, spa, large corner lot with room for your boat trailer. Minutes from san Carlos Bay and 10 minutes from Captiva and Sanibel by boat.
We loved this home!! Everything we could have wanted, was there Very clean, great location, & pool was to die for. Grill, boat lift, great kitchen, & they owners are awesome!!
We have stayed at this property for the past 7 winters and enjoyed it immensely. Everything we needed and fabulous pool/lanai area.
The house was more than we could have predicted and anticipated. The pictures are good but don't the justice it desires. I think the owners want the wow factor for those that rent as they step through the front door.
This was our 3rd time visiting with the family and this was by far the nicest place we have stayed. The location was perfect for us.
Our visit was with 5 people & 2 dogs staying the week. The house had everything we needed for a long week in Florida. Beach towels, kitchen items, you name it; everything you could possibly need was there. The house is great for a big family, we hosted nightly dinners for friends that live in St. James City. Everyone had private space for relaxing and the large screened patio and pool/hot tub area were used daily. Our friends thought the house was great too!
This is a beautiful house owned by very responsible owners. From the very 1st phone call to the owner, made it very easy to communicate and made the rental process was extremely easy.
When emailing the her, she also was prompt with the answers to our questions prior to arriving and during the stay. They do a terrific job with the upkeep of the property.
The neighborhood is nice and quiet and great for walking to Woody's or to get bait at Monroe Canal Marina.
If you are looking for a beautiful home in a relaxing vacation, I would highly recommend this property. 5 star rating for sure!
Amazing experience!! We had such a great time, we are already planning our 2016 trip and staying here!!
This is our second year staying at this beautiful home in St. James City, Pine Island. If you really want an honest relaxing vacation this home and island is for you. The owners are wonderful to work with and the island itself is friendly and laid back. All you have to pack is: flip flops, tank tops and bathing suits, everything else is there for your convenience. The fishing is wonderful and just a short boat ride to Sanibel Island and Caya Costa State Park for beautiful beaches and Boca Grande Pass for snapper, grouper and if your lucky, a tarpon. We take our boat and dock right behind the house which is equipped with a fish cleaning table. The best part of the house is the outside pool area. The pool is wonderful, with a hot tub and a waterfall and for my teenager a tanning ledge. We will be there again next year. Can't wait!
We have been renting this property since at least 2007, possibly before that and every time, we have absolutely loved the experience! This house and location is the best! Homeowners are fabulous to rent from! We spent the Memorial Day weekend there again this year, but the weekend ended far too soon! We always catch plenty of fish and then end the day with a relaxing dip in the pool and hottub!
This home was great. Clean, great location, pool was fantastic, and pleanty of room. The home was well supplied with everything we needed. We had a few questions and the owners responded accurately, so everything was what we expected. The neighborhood, and neighbors were nice, we took great walks and bike rides that were really fun. We visited a few restaurants on the island, they had great food and were reasonable priced. We hope to return to this house again. VERY relaxing!

First off, I would NOT recommend having this injected in your lips without a dental block. The pain was almost barbaric. I felt like my lips were being ripped off. My eyes were gushing tears.
The results of my lips were nice but I honestly expected more plumping considering one tube was $650. All in all, I wouldn't pay more than maybe $200 for a tube & maybe slightly more for a dental block.

Today marks what would've been the 100th birthday of a cinematic legend and pop-culture icon: Louise Brooks. Born in Cherryvale, Kan., the petite and trend-setting talent became a silent-film star by the age of 22. Her film career may have ended in 1938, but her work left a lasting impression -- and, were she to arrive on the scene today, her mystery and intellect would still be a breath of fresh air.
I urge you to take some time today to get to know her better:
Louise's life. My favorite Louise Brooks site belongs to the Louise Brooks Society, a devoted group of fans that even keeps a blog. There, you can find just about everything about the actress: articles, filmography, photos, links and more. On this page, you can see a brief video interview with a gray-haired Brooks.
Out of the Box. Brooks' most famous film, Pandora's Box (1928), is noted for its groundbreaking depictions of sexuality and the first onscreen portrayal of a lesbian. Go here to read the script. The band OMD recorded a tribute to the film and its star; here's the video. Thanks to the Criterion Collection, it finally arrives on DVD Nov. 28. Reserve it on Netflix now.
More movies. Additionally, a entire film featuring Brooks (1926's The Show Off) has been posted on YouTube. See it while you still can.
The images. Want to gaze upon hundreds of photos of the actress? Check out this huge gallery. This fan took several images and threw together a slideshow.
Louise's death. Brooks died Aug. 8, 1985, of a heart attack. You can see a photo of her grave here. Many fans have already left remembrances on the page today.
Rest in peace, Louise. Here's hoping no one in Hollywood attempts to make a bad biopic about you in the years to come.
Update: Thanks to Pop reader Lisa J. for telling me about a Louise Brooks exhibit now on display at the George Eastman House in Rochester, N.Y.
Whitney has been writing about pop culture for USA TODAY since 1999, when Pop Candy began as a weekly column. Her interests include music festivals, mustaches, Lost, comic books and Andy Warhol. She lives in New York City. More about Whitney | E-mail Whitney

Will a soffit vent fit?
Im looking to install soffit vents in my attic. The side of the house is made of 2x4 wall studs with 2 2x6s stacked on top. The two by sixes only stick out about 2 inches past the end of the 2x4s. Is there even enough room to install soffit vents here? And will I have to cut all the way through the 4 inches of the stacked 2x6s?
Will pics help? Thanks everyone!
It sounds like you would be better off with fascia venting as AaronB talked about in a previous post than what you are talking about but a picture may help.

Junior School Curriculum
The Form II (Grade 4), Form III (Grade 5), Lower IV (Grade 6) and Upper IV (Grade 7) classes form the Upper Junior School at Roedean. Each class is looked after by a class teacher and a co-teacher. There are two classes at each level and the girls stay in their classes for most subjects. For English and Mathematics, the two classes are divided into three groups, so that the individual learning needs of each girl is met.
The curriculum at Roedean is guided by the National Curriculum Statement and subjects offered in the Junior School include: Mathematics, English, Afrikaans (First Additional Language), isiZulu (First Additional Language), Social Sciences (History and Geography), Natural Sciences (Physical Science and Biology), Technology, and Information Skills. The vibrant Arts and Culture Department at Roedean plays a critical role in enhancing the creativity of our girls and Visual Art and Music are highly valued subjects. Physical Education lessons are an important part of the Upper Junior School day and our dynamic Sports Department also ensures the girls have many opportunities to grow their personal fitness by participating in a range of individual and team sports.
Understanding the learning needs of each girl is central to establishing a positive learning environment. Throughout the year, the girls are exposed to different forms of formal and informal assessment tasks. Continuous assessments are part of a process of gathering information to determine each girl's academic progress. When a formal assessment is appropriate, the class is well informed and given time to prepare.
Our participation in external tests which include the IBT (International Benchmark Testing), Conquesta Language Olympiads, and the Independent Schools' Shared Assessments, serve as benchmarks for our own educational standards. Our girls also successfully enter the Commonwealth Essay Writing Competition.
The most important focus in Upper Junior School is to create an environment that will develop, in each girl, a passion for learning. It is a passion for learning, or a love and enthusiasm for a particular subject, that will give each girl the energy and confidence to persevere and persist, and enable her to achieve her personal best. Sustained success at Roedean is not only in the passion and talent we find in our teachers, or in the girls around us but also in a strong value-based educational approach. Our school values, 'Truth, Honour, Freedom and Courtesy', are the foundations for encouraging resilient, life-long, self-directed thinkers, who are able to work collaboratively in living a truly honest 'Life of Significance'.
Grade 4 (FII)
Form II is an exciting year for the girls. They leave St Margaret's (Foundation Phase) and are introduced to the Upper Junior School (Senior Primary).
The Form II girls have a class teacher and a co-teacher to look after them and to assist with the new challenges and opportunities the big move into Upper Junior School brings. The class gets together in the morning for registration, before the day's activities start. The girls and their teachers get to know each other during Circle Time conversations and enjoy early morning activities such as cognitive education lessons, assemblies, and chapel services together.
In Form II, the girls have the opportunity to move classes during the day for lessons with different subject and specialist teachers.
Form II girls prepare to participate in their first public speaking experience, called Chatterbox. These evenings are hosted once a term by different participating schools. Soirée performance evenings celebrate the girls' achievements in all subject areas and every girl is encouraged to take part.
The Form II camp is a three day, two night outing and an ideal opportunity for the girls to get to know one another and experience the great outdoors. New friendships are formed and the teachers enjoy interacting with the girls in an informal environment.
Grade 5 (FIII)
Form III is an exciting and fun-filled year, focusing on the development of each girl. The girls are more familiar with the routine of the Upper Junior School, and now build on the solid foundation of skills developed in previous years. Emphasis is placed on the cognitive development of language and number manipulation skills. Girls are encouraged to develop a sound independent work ethic and they begin to learn effective time management.
The Form III camp is a highlight. The girls enjoy their Chatterbox public speaking events, class soirée evenings, music concerts, assemblies, and the many other opportunities on offer to demonstrate their growing talents and confidence.
Form III is a busy year that offers much in terms of diversity, growth of skills and knowledge, and individual development. All in all, it is a wonderful time in each girl's life!
Grade 6 (LIV)
In Lower IV, the girls build strongly on the foundations of personal independence and confidence developed in previous years. They are encouraged to participate responsibly in academic, cultural, and sporting events, which include Chatterbox public speaking evenings, the Commonwealth Essay Competition, class soirée evenings, music concerts, assemblies, and extra-curricular hockey, netball, and swimming.
In Lower IV, two formal assessment weeks are introduced. These are scheduled towards the end of the second and third terms. 'Habits of Study' are explored and study skills are developed further by a dedicated and committed team of Lower IV teachers in preparation for these more formal assessments.
Lower IV is an exciting year of growth, development and change in every girl's life.
Grade 7 (UIV)
Upper IV, the first year of the Senior Phase, is also the girls' last year in the Junior School. This is the year captains and vice-captains of sporting and cultural teams are announced. Meaningful leadership and the essential skills and characteristics it demands are the focus of many Upper IV discussions.
The year begins with a class camp, the focus of which is to identify and develop individual and team leadership skills.
The Upper IV Leadership Development Programme encourages the girls to focus on achieving their personal best in as many aspects of school life as possible. The programme builds leaders on all levels and the girls develop their personal leadership skills by setting personal goals in academics, sporting, and cultural activities. They also commit themselves to a number of school duties and social responsibility projects.
As part of the Junior School Leadership Team, the Upper IV girls are encouraged to be good role models by setting a good example and inspiring one other, especially the younger girls, to be involved and to be committed to making a positive contribution to their school life.

Hi there,
Coming from a corsa 1.3 cdti (albeit remapped to 100bhp and a bit more torque) I would have thought going to a 330d (184bhp) would have been quite a big leap in performance but ive been left very underwhelmed.
I understand there is a big weight difference but there is also quite a big power difference so thought I would be in for a nice surprise.
I dont think there are any real problems with it (turbo working, no whooshing or leaking I dont think) but when off turbo the car just seems sluggish and even when engaging the turbo it seems to take a while for much to happen. (flat spots?).
Ive been looking to compare it with another similar car (performance wise) to see just what would happen and I have some feedback.
Trackday situation, straight road, my car standard as was other car (Renaultsport 172), rolling start from about 10mph.
Up to about 80 he pulled a good 5 lengths on me (changing gear at about 4k revs), 80-100 gap stayed the same, 100-110 I start reeling him in, near 125 im right on him, end of comparison.
Does the above sound about right or would you expect difference results? No wheelspin, no missed gears, everything was pretty much spot on.
Cheers guys.

In his CM: the Next Generation series, Joe Farah gives us a glimpse into the trends that CM experts will need to tackle and master based upon industry trends and future technology challenges.
Variant management is primarily a software engineering problem, not a configuration management problem. Your team must specify design criteria which will make CM manageable. CM should not attempt to solve software engineering problems which are rooted in the design - though it may help you to identify them and variant handling is one area where software engineering needs to be addressed by the design.
It is not difficult to avoid dozens of variants. In fact, it's much, much easier to reduce variant programs into run-time options and configurations than not to do so. Introduce a simple design rule that a variant will not be a build time variant, or a load time variant, if it can be a run-time variant. Whether it's a sizing option, a language option or a set of feature configurations, you can create separate images that support each of these. You can just as easily add a requirement to the design team that says, the size will be configured at run-time by setting a size parameter, language through a run-time language setting, etc. The main valid reason for variants to be handled in the CM process is different platform support. This requires separate executables for each platform, but should never require branching.
In extreme cases you may be space constrained and can't load all of the 100s of options into one image. In this case, options should be handled as separate files which can be co-compiled (i.e., have unique names and/or name spaces), and the problem is brought forward to link time, or perhaps even load time. Files to be linked or loaded are tagged with the feature options so that a build specification need only identify the feature options. Still, just the process of moving these options forward to link time will result in multiple deliverables that have to be managed, and multiple test beds that have to be reloaded. So it should be avoided whenever possible. In any case, the problem is not one which requires the use of branching to solve. The use of branching for variants comes from the reuse of the same file name for each of the different variants, rather than the use of separate file names to support each variant. Common code should reside in the common file, while variant dependent code should reside in a variant specific file (i.e., with a file name specific to the variant).
How hard is it to get the design to follow this rule? Not difficult at all. The most difficult step, by far, is communicating the rule, and the need for it, to all developers, and then ensuring peer reviews identify violations. Apart from that, it is a trivial design change, and one that yields way more benefits than just avoiding variant branches.
A Next Generation Branching Standard?
I apologize for the length of this article. If I had identified additional reasons for branching, you'd see an even longer article. But it was necessary to justify each of the cases, and if you send me some others, I'll deal with them as well.
OK, you might not understand everything here. Or maybe you do but you don't agree with it all (please send your comments). But do you at least agree with the overall philosophy that branching is overloaded? If you do, then I really, really, recommend you go back to the motivation paragraph. We're not talking about a 5% or 10% reduction in complexity here. No it's more like the difference between Assembly language code and Python

Citation: Suyama, H., Benes, S.E., Robinson, P.H., Getachew, G., Grieve, C.M., Grattan, S.R. 2004. Biomass production and nutritional value of salt-tolerant forages irrigated with saline drainage water: field and greenhouse studies. In: Proceedings of the California Plant and Soil Conference, CA chapter of the American Society of Agronomy, Feb. 3-4, 2004, Visalia, CA. p. 166-167. Interpretive Summary: Drainage water reuse is a management option proposed for the westside of the San Joaquin Valley of California. Crop selection for use in water reuse systems requires knowledge of their response to irrigation waters high in soluable salts and potentially toxic trace elements such as boron. A greenhouse experiment was conducted at California State University, Fresno, to evaluate crops for biomass production and mineral ion composition. Promising candidates were identified (e.g., tall wheatgrass, seashore paspalum, creeping wild rye) whose performance will be tested under field conditions.
Technical Abstract: In recent years, the management of saline drainage water has presented major challenges to agriculture on the Westside San Joaquin Valley (SJV). Subsurface drainage systems are considered essential to control soil salinity and boron, and to lower perched water tables in impacted areas, but their use is limited due to wildlife hazards associated with selenium in the drainage water. The re-use of drainage water for the irrigation of salt tolerant plants is a promising, on-farm, practice to reduce drainage water volumes and thereby facilitate their disposal. Drainage water collection and re-use for irrigation could also be practiced within small districts. Selection and evaluation of halophytes and salt-tolerant forages that can grow under irrigation with the saline -sodic drainage water is currently underway. The selection of forages is based on their tolerance to soil salinity, boron, and poorly-aerated soils with tough surface crusts; a long with climatic adaptability and their nutritional value for animal feeds.

Even through corrosion, a clear 1808 date is visible on the obverse side of this copper coin minted on the world's first automatic steam press in Birmingham England. The inscription on the reverse on this EAST INDIA COMPANY 10 CASH token is in Persian. (looks lots more coppery in real life than depictedA fierce gale pounded the 3-decker, 145 foot ADMIRAL GARDNER on the Goodwin Sands before dawn on January 25, 1809. The ships and cargos were lost. Salvaged in 1985, these tokens show sea wear yet still have discernable markings even after 176 years on the sea bed! A fascinating, certified history, offered at a fabulous price, this 1808 coin is probably the least expensive genuine shipwreck treasure on the market today.

Daniel Kellman: In the treatment of liver cancer, naturopathic medicine can play a very important role. Certainly, some of the newer targeted agents that are being utilized are having more success in decreasing alpha fetoprotein and some of the tumor markers associated with hepatocellular carcinoma. Certainly, there are things herbally that we can do to protect the liver. For example, milk thistle. If it's used appropriately, it can actually promote healthy liver tissue. So that's something that we use is very potentized silymarin or milk thistle extracts.

UPDATE 5-Cliffs Natural CEO says mulling creditor protection in Canada
(Adds details and comments from CEO)
By Euan Rocha and Shubhankar Chakravorty
Nov 19 (Reuters) - U.S.-based Cliffs Natural Resources may seek creditor protection in Canada to insulate itself from closure costs and liabilities at its Canadian operations, its chief executive said on Wednesday.
Lourenco Goncalves, who took the helm at Cliffs in August, told Reuters a filing in Canada to protect it from liabilities related to its Canadian operations is "absolutely" on the table.
The move would mirror the route taken by U.S. Steel, which sought creditor protection for its money-losing Canadian operations two months ago.
Earlier on Wednesday, Cliffs said it might have to close its Bloom Lake iron ore mine in Quebec at a cost of up to $700 million as it struggles to find funds to expand the project as a way to make it more financially viable.
Goncalves said that a closure was already in the works, but he was not in a hurry to seek creditor protection.
"I just don't need to be in a hurry, because I'm not out of there today and I'm initiating an orderly process to cease our operations there," he said. "It is still an ongoing concern."
Cliffs shares closed 20 percent lower at $8.17 on Wednesday. Continued...

Athletic Media Relations
FORT COLLINS, Colo. - The Rams are well past the halfway mark of spring ball and Head Coach Jim McElwain is impressed with his teams progression.
McElwain is happy to see his players come together as a team as well as a list of other things.
"You know what I liked? They are starting to understand practices," McElwain said. "Go hard against each other to make each other better. Nothing is personal. We are only going to be successful if we are all together on the same page."
The players focus in practice also sticks out to the coaching staff.
"I think that is one thing we stress," McElwain said. "When we get in here it is time to go to work, focus on the details and they handled that pretty well."
After practice on Monday he thought the defense was a step ahead of the offense when it came to leadership.
"I was really impressed with some of the leadership that was coming out on defense," McElwain said. "One of the things we need to work on, a little bit, on offense is finding out identity and who our leaders are going to be."
This week is the best opportunity for the Ram to find an offensive leader. They will practice three times and wrap the week up with a scrimmage on Sunday, April 15th.
The fans in the Denver area will have a chance to see the Rams practice on Friday, April 13th. According to McElwain the fans will have a chance to see many different situations that CSU could face in the fall.
"We'll do a heavy situational practice on Friday, which I still have to figure out a field diagram there to see where we are able to do our drills," McElwain said.
Friday's practice will start at 6 p.m. and will be open the entire time to the public.
Other post-practice comments from McElwain:
On what he liked from the scrimmage after watching film: "There were some really good learning, teachable moments. The key is, like we talked about, we wanted to get ourselves on film live. We saw some guys really compete, some guys that were really trying. We need to clean up a lot of things on both sides of the ball. It was really a good learning experience from that standpoint. They wanted to be proud of what they put on film and that is something we stress. Be proud of what you put on film through your efforts and how you compete and then we'll correct what you need to from there."
On what needs to be corrected from the pass protection: "They are very correctable. Some of it is operator error. We can get it sewed up and at the same time I think you got to credit some of the games that were being run up front. I was kind of proud at the way those guys were snapping some of those off. I thought it was good from that standpoint too. "
On whether he thought about limiting the defense during the scrimmage: "No absolutely not. I believe you need to get as much as you can on video to teach from. Today's practice was evidence .The communication up front was much better in everything we are doing. There again, it's those teachable moments and I'm really happy we weren't lining up in the first ball game."
On linebacker core: "The group of linebackers is probably our deepest position as far as different guys being able to move and do some different things. Even when we go into our nickel package, we have some safeties that are actually linebacker kind of size. I'm really happy with what Marty (English) and (Tim) Skipper are doing with those guys."
On whether he was impressed with the young players: "We got some young guys that are going to play some valuable moments for us on this football team. As much of that kind of exposure we can get, so the game doesn't become too big, that it actually slows down for them."
Linebackers coach Tim Skipper:
On his linebackers: "I like them a lot. We do have some depth there. When I came here I wanted to start from scratch; so I didn't know if we had depth, who they were, what their names were, any of that. Now we are going through our ninth practice I feel good about the group. I am big on effort and energy and I see that out here."
On how the adjustment has been on the players: "There have been a lot of introductions. As far as what my name is, what their name is all the way to the specifics of the 3-4 defense. It's been good. It's been fun. We are finally able to laugh when we have rough days, before it was everybody staring at each other and me yelling."
On whether the linebackers are structured to run the 3-4 defense: "Definitely. I think it fits us well. Shaq Barrett, out there, who can play linebacker and also can rush the passer. We got a guy who can do multiple things, which is what you want in this system. You got James Skelton, who is a physical guy, who can take on guards and things like that. I like what I'm seeing out of Aaron Davis. He is doing a real good job playing with speed and understands angles and leverage. Corey James is having a real good spring ball as well."
On Shaquil Barrett: "Everybody just looks at how big he is and his size but that kid knows football and is a smart player. He understands it and he gets it. We can do a lot of things with him; he probably doesn't even know this but he only has half the gameplan for him specifically."
On the defensive communication: "It has been awesome. The whole defense is structured off of who is coming on the pressure, who is dropping in coverage so you got to communicate every single play."
On whether he notices the linebacker experience: "I think you just go off execution and the guys are executing well. Day one, we had some mistakes. From day one to practice number nine we have limited those amount of execution mistakes. So whether it is experience or just getting used to the surrounds and the coaches and the scheme. Whatever it is, it seems to be working right now."
On whether he is counting on the linebackers for leadership: "I think the linebackers have to be the leaders of the defense. For one, you're in the middle of the d-line and safeties so you're the center of communication. If you don't have leaders in that group you aren't going to be successful, so we have to be no matter how old we are."
"I like the way they're playing. When you're hitting and getting the ball out and causing turnovers, I take that as they're liking it. It's been happening so I like it. I think they love it."

So fun! So cool!!! I recommend watching the Webisode before using this product. It will give you so many ideas and great instructions on how to use the Dylusions. I think the best tip is to save your paper towels that you use to clean up. I have made the prettiest layered flowers, butterflies and swirls using the paper towels and dies or punches. It is a good idea to adhere the paper towel to a piece of card stock before using a punch. Have fun and enjoy these new Dylusions.

Love these sprays! They even work well with existing paper flowers when I don't have just the right shade. You don't necessarily have to have the white ones. Use what you have, just experiment.

Canada Stocks Take a Dive
Canada's benchmark S&P/TSX fell 142 points, or 2.08%, to 6,677.76.
European stock markets finished sharply lower Monday amid ongoing uncertainty about the global economy. In London, the Financial Times-Stock Exchange 100 index shed 229.60 points, or 5.44%, to 3,994.50. France's CAC 40 fell 189.60 points, or 5.40%, to 3,323.74.

Asian markets ended lower.

To Cut Risks of Sleeping Pills
Don't take them.
Melinda Beck, in today's Wall Street Journal, suggests hiding car keys, unplugging the phone, preparing for impending disaster. That's if you must take the new-generation of sleeping pills.
She's referring to the NBZs the nonbenzodizepines, especially Zolpidem (Ambien). Ambien knocks most people out like a 2 x 4 at the back of the head. But some people, under the influence, do things they regret.
There are documented cases like this one: A person takes a pill, has a beer, then decides to go out for cigarets, forgetting to open the garage door before backing out the car.
So we might suggest, too, as Ms. Beck does, don't use these drugs with alcohol.
Obviously some people need sleep medications and I'll be the first to suggest a medication evaluation from a medical doctor. When I say, (above) Don't take them, it's really you, initially, who has to determine if you're in the Some People Really Do Need Them category. If you think you are, a medical doctor still has to agree with you.
It's a medical decision, prescribing medicine.
I would still urge you first to try Ms. Beck's alternative advice before you nag your pri-care for a script.
She recommends, on the front page of WSJ's Personal Journal, First try exercise, stress reduction, and avoiding caffeine.
I'd add,
And for sure, get therapy.
As long as we're adding, let's go for it.
Develop an evening wind-down routine. No more eating or drinking after dinner, except for a cup of tea or another hot liquid, maybe soup, but nothing too creamy. Sugar arouses us and everything we eat breaks down into sugars.
Call your mother, father, sister, brother. Or friends.
Undress, bathe. Read. Learn something. Create something. Creating really tires you out.
Watch television, the great soporific, but not too late.
If you go out, don't stay out to late.
Dispatch anything work related to the recycle bin. Oh. Can't do that?
Have sex.* Make love. Discuss love. Embellish the meaning of love.
And if you're still unable to sleep, plan a cat-nap on your coffee break the next day. And skip the coffee altogether, if possible. Maybe, since that may be impossible, unfeasible, a ridiculous suggestion, strategically plan one cup. And eat really light.
You'll make it through the day.
*Sex, as you know from previous posts, (did I post on this?) is the natural tranquilizer.

It's very easy for you to say do all these things, but many people have night shifts and when you finish work it's like daytime. Not so simple to get to sleep when it's light outside.

ANON 1: Yeah, I know. I'm sorry for minimizing this topic. I knew I would be.
ANON 2: Ditto on the minimizing. Night shift does create a whole new set of issues. We'll have to talk about it.
- May 7, 2008 at 3:47 PM
- therapydoc said...
BARFLY: Maybe. Maybe I said sleep is over-rated. That's because people generally freak out when they feel they haven't had enough.
It's a form of anticipatory anxiety.
Usually you can forget you haven't had enough and can get through the day on a lot less than you thought. It is a head thing, an attitude, and your teachers and parents, for whom it was convenient, you sleeping (keeps you quiet) have done a nice job hypnotizing you to think you need a square 8, for sure.
Six is nice. Delicious, for many of us, horribly unsatisfying for others.
People are different.

Great post. Although I will take some Ambien here and there for various reasons (not the least of which is that sleepless nights are miserable), there isn't good evidence that sleep aids actually improve the amount of sleep by very much (I remember a study about Lunesta, I think, increasing sleep by 15 minutes on average) and there's some fairly decent evidence that they do disrupt sleep architecture (thereby causing a problem with sleep quality). So, sleeping without meds is much better.
I find attempting to do something creative too stimulating to be good around bedtime, but definately good a few hours before. Exercise (not too close to bedtime) is a great insomnia fighter. I also recommend (at risk of sounding too new-agey, which I'm definately not) progressive muscle relaxation and directed imagery. It seldom fails for me.

MWAK, thanks. I completely forgot about the sleep structure thing. I think it interrupts REM sleep, too, never a good thing.

it's weird but I think brushing my teeth before bed makes it easier for me to fall asleep. That fluoride taste is like a little lullaby to my brain, telling it, "good night, little brain, it's time to go to sleep now."

Yes, the ubiquitous night shift is a problem and we do endure with the sleep disruptions related to it. I will use the occasional Ambien to help me flip over from a night schedule to a day schedule (in the case of multiple days off). Only problem I ever have is the munchies.

Thats a question I'd like to know myself. Along with what are some of the preferred AK's and preferable SKS's on the market?
This is a discussion on Inter Ordnance AK47,good? bad? within the Defensive Rifles & Shotgun Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; Is this a decent rifle?...
Is this a decent rifle?
Thats a question I'd like to know myself. Along with what are some of the preferred AK's and preferable SKS's on the market?
Seems like a lot of people are buying them lately, I still haven't shot mine.
Nice firearm.
Although I have ZERO interest in purchasing or owning an AK47.
Im trying hard to find a pre83 M16 lower receiver. But its going to cost me a few thousand easy I bet.
"I believe that the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms must not be infringed if liberty in America is to survive." - Ronald Reagan
Looks good to me based on QKShooters picture. All AK's are both good and bad. Good because they are reliable and fun to shoot, bad because they are inherently inaccurate. As time has marched on for me I realize that I like my accuracy more than doing mag dumps. I have a collection of bang-bang guns but I really have grown to appreciate laser beam accuracy. I had a couple really nice AK's in the past, even a milled receiver model and none have shot nearly as straight as the cheapest AR in my safe.

Its an STG 2000 which is basically a Romanian AK with a stock made to look like an East German Weiger rifle. IO has been making these in 7.62x39 and .223 for a while now. I have several AK's and this rifle while nothing special it still a solid Romanian based AK but mechanically not really different from an other WASR AK. If you want an AK that has a little different look thats what you get. but performance is the same as any other basic AK. If you want a high quality built AK look at Lancaster Arms or Arsenal.
Here is a site with more info.
