Confederate Monument to the Private Soldier, Washington
Charles M. Walsh, Marble and Granite Works, Builder
The monument depicts a Confederate soldier at parade rest. The statue rests atop a tall, tapered column of smooth granite. The column is mounted on a two tier base of smooth granite resting on a brick platform. The base of the column bears the inscription which is offset by a darker stone border. A single cannon sits to the left of the front, its barrel facing away from the monument. Two cannon barrels are mounted on the mound in front of the statue facing upward and away from the monument.

New Delhi, Nov 12 (UNI) Usha Martin Ltd, manufacturer of speciality steel, has entered into a joint venture with Germany-based Gustav Wolf to set up tyre-bead wire manufacturing facility in Ranchi at an outlay of Rs 40 crore.
The project to be build up in two phases with the knowhow of Gustav Wolf will have the capacity to produce 30,000 tonnes of tyre-bead wires per year.
The first phase of the Tyre-bead project with 15,000 tonnes per year capacity would be commissioned in 18 to 24 months.
''The unit will predominantly meet the domestic demand for the tyre-bead wires,'' Usha Martin's Joint Managing Director P Bhattacharya said.
Usha Martin and Gustav Wolf already have a Joint Venture on wire rope in Dubai and on steel cord for belt reinforcement in India.
The company also announced plans to enhance cord production capacity to 3,600 tonnes per year from the current level of 2,400 tonnes per year.
Both the products would be manufactured in the expanded facility in Ranchi, Mr Bhattacharya said.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 12/11/2012 (1688 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
We were glad to see how many Brandon and CFB Shilo residents braved the weekend's winter storm and snowy roads to take in the Remembrance Day ceremony at the Keystone Centre on Sunday.
About 2,000 folks — some in uniform, some in suits, and some in jeans and T-shirts — came together in remembrance of those men and women who gave their lives so that the rest of us may live in peace.
While the storm was somewhat delayed in its impact, by Sunday morning, Brandon residents were outside digging themselves out of the drifting white stuff.
As the Sun reported yesterday, police were kept busy all weekend with a barrage of accidents, most of which happened to be vehicles that lost control and ended up in the ditch along our highways and roads.
The dangerous driving conditions even prompted the RCMP to close the Trans-Canada Highway between Headingley and Brandon due to the "poor winter driving conditions."
Nevertheless, most of the seats on the east side of the Keystone Centre arena were filled with poppy-clad attendees who observed the moment of silence, and witnessed the laying of wreaths, as Canadians have done for several generations now, since the end of the First World War.
In fact, according to the results of a survey published by The Historica-Dominion Institute on Nov. 9, interest in Remembrance Day appears to be on the rise, as three in 10 Canadians said they intended to attend a ceremony this year. That's up by eight points from a similar survey conducted in 2010.
A further 80 per cent of Canadians said they would observe two minutes of silence at 11 a.m. on Remembrance Day, up by five points from 2010.
It's perhaps not that surprising that the Canadian military has become more important to an increasing number of Canadians. For more than a decade, Canada has been involved in the Afghanistan conflict.
For Brandonites, who live as neighbours to hundreds of full-time soldiers in CFB Shilo and reservists at the 26th Field Regiment, the impact of Afghanistan on the lives of our fellow Canadians is very real.
Men and women that we know have fought and died doing their job as soldiers and their deaths have made an emotional impact — not just on the families and friends of those who have died, but on all Canadians, whether they agree with the military involvement in Afghanistan or not.
Here's a few other statistics from the survey:
• 82 per cent of Canadians said they would wear a poppy in the lead-up to Remembrance Day.
• Nearly three quarters (72 per cent) of Canadians agreed that the War of 1812 should be commemorated on Remembrance Day.
• About 55 per cent believed that other countries do more to honour their veterans than Canada.
• And 85 per cent of Canadians agree (57 per cent strongly, 27 per cent somewhat) that Remembrance Day should be a statutory holiday across Canada.

Video Marketing Niagara
I thought that since this video is about Video Marketing Niagara, I'd take a tour of one of my favourite places in the Niagara Region, Niagara On The Lake. I hope you enjoy this beautiful scenery that we're so blessed with.
Video gives you the ability reach hundreds or thousands of your prospective customers without actually meeting with them. You can present your products and services to new customers at anytime day or night, meanwhile you're off doing other things…perhaps visiting Niagara On The Lake, as I am today. Read More→
Another great reason to use video in your marketing and on your website is that no other medium will allow your viewers to look into your eyes and get a sense of who you really are like video can.
As humans we relate to each other by communicating, looking into each others eyes, and reading our body language. Often what we say to each other is less important than some of the other signals we're sending. We typically know rather quickly if this person is someone that we trust enough to want to hear more about. Read More→
Video Marketing Hamilton, Niagara
You've spent lots of time and money creating the perfect website for your business. Congratulations! It looks great and I'm sure you're really proud to send your customers and prospective clients there.
So how much has your business increased with your great new site? As you're reading this are you hearing your inner voice saying "Nope…no increase"? Read More→
Video Marketing Niagara;Becoming a Video Niagara Star!
The age of television taught us to associate the people we see on camera as somewhat of an expert. As an example; for years many Canadians watched Lloyd Robertson on the 11:00 pm news. Most viewers trusted that Lloyd was telling us the truth. He was a likeable, trustworthy friend that we looked forward to inviting into our home every night. When Lloyd retired, we began to accept his replacement, Lisa LaFlamme. The same can be said about our favourite movie and television stars.
Well because we're used to associating frequently viewed personalities as being somewhat of an expert in their field, it's really quite simple to become a local, regional, or even national and international authority in your particular business. All that you need to do is create some great content that your audience will be interested in, then get in front of the camera and present the content. This strategy will bring you a tremendous amount of credibility in your industry and it sends out a clear signal that you know what you're talking about. Read More→

Beyonce has moved on from this week's Inauguration lip sync dustup and is ready to conquer her next star-powered performance - the Super Bowl XLVII halftime show.
The stunning singer shared a few behind-the-scenes rehearsal photos with her Instagram followers on Saturday, giving fans a tiny taste of what's to come during the highly anticipated performance.
PLAY IT NOW: Randy Jackson Weighs In On The Beyonce Lip Syncing Debate
In the first shot, the 31-year-old star is seen stretching her left arm behind her head as she gazes forward. With her hair down, Bey sports a Brooklyn Nets white tee (a nod to husband Jay-Z, who is a part owner of the NBA team).
In another shot, captured in black and white, the singer appears to be rehearsing choreography with more than a dozen dancers - their faces masked in shadows.

• Saturday Updates | AP Photo Gallery
• London Olympics Site | Medal Counter | U-M Olympics Coverage
LONDON, England -- Former University of Michigan men's swimmer Peter Vanderkaay (2003-06) earned the 65th medal in program history, taking bronze in the finals of the 400-meter freestyle Saturday (July 28) at the Serpentine in Hyde Park.
After taking second in his heat with a 3:45.80 in qualifying, the second-eldest of the U-M Vanderkaay legacy notched a 3:44.69 to earn the second bronze medal of his career behind Korea's Taehwan Park (3:42.06) and Sun Yang, who set an Olympic record with a 3:40.14.
The medal is the fourth in Vanderkaay's Olympic career, as he has two gold medals to his name in the 800-freestyle relays (2004, 2008) and a bronze in the 200-meter freestyle (2008). Medal number four gives him the most Olympic medals by a Michigan graduate in program history, passing former U-M standout Tom Dolan. In addition, Vanderkaay is the first former U-M swimmer to medal at three separate Olympic Games.
The U-M swimming contingent continues Sunday (July 29), as former volunteer assistant coach Michael Phelps, who placed fourth in the 400 individual medley today, will swim in the 4x100-meter freestyle relay. Qualification begins at 7:05 a.m., while finals are slated for 3:54 p.m.

If you're having trouble breathing in the summer, it's not just the heat that's stifling you.
A toxic concoction of particles, sulphur dioxide, lead, carbon monoxide and ozone are some of many pollutants in the air that make it more difficult for children, the elderly and people with respiratory issues to enjoy a lazy summer day outdoors.
Susan Zimmer-Dauphinee, manager of the Department of Natural Resource's Ambient Air Monitoring Program, said pollutants are in the air year-round, but summer's intense sunlight triggers chemicals in smog that make it more difficult for people to breathe.
"Cars and factories put out the ingredients for ozone and sunlight drives that chemical reaction," Zimmer-Dauphinee said. "There's a fairly large population in Hall County that helps to produce the ozone by driving in their vehicles. The Atlanta area also has an effect on Hall County."
Ozone is just one pollutant that can irritate asthmatics, bringing on an asthma attack, or induce a heart attack for people with heart conditions, she said.
Zimmer-Dauphinee said also the Hall County area, along with most of Atlanta, does not meet the Environmental Protection Agency's standard for air quality.
Flowery Branch resident Sandra Camper said she definitely notices how air quality decreases in the summer.
Camper developed asthma in the late 1990s and is careful not to go outside on days when the Department of Natural Resources declares air quality "code red" or worse.
"I can step outside and notice in a few minutes just the tightness in my chest and there's almost a metallic taste in my mouth," she said. "It's almost a clamp around me and I can't breathe."
David Paris, an exercise physiologist at Northeast Georgia Medical Center, said the ground level ozone reacts with lung tissue and can cause severe inflammation of lung tissue. People with asthma, allergies, emphysema, chronic bronchitis and even cardiovascular diseases can be affected by summertime smog, he said.
Paris said small children, whose breathing passages are smaller than adults', often are affected by summertime smog, especially since they tend to be outdoors more in the summer.
The American Lung Association conducted a study recently which shows that as many as 27.1 million children age 13 and younger, and more than 1.9 million children with asthma, are potentially exposed to unhealthful levels of ozone.
"If you live in an area like that, it's almost as bad as being a smoker," he said. "... The truth of it is, you probably shouldn't go out on a day when there's a smog alert, especially in the hottest part of the day."
Paris said workers in Northeast Georgia Medical Center's pulmonary and cardiac rehabilitation clinic are starting to see people who didn't smoke who have problems as if they did smoke.
"There's some possibility that has something to do with air quality," he said.
Camper said from her experience, poor air quality is pervasive throughout Hall County, but once she drives north of Hall near the mountains, she feels the air is cleaner.
On code red days, Camper said she's learned to stay out of the afternoon heat to avoid an asthma attack.
"If I was going to run errands that afternoon and was going to be in and out of my car, I might postpone that," she said. "And if we wanted to go for an evening walk or have a cook out, we just don't do that."
Camper said she's learning to adapt her schedule to the "nuisance" of poor air quality, but calls it a "by product of the modern conveniences of transport."
Paris and Zimmer-Dauphinee said because they don't want to discourage people from going outdoors, they do want to encourage people with breathing issues to be smart about when and where they go outdoors.
Zimmer-Dauphinee said it's best to exercise away from congested roadways. She said after 6 p.m. is a safer time to exercise because sunlight begins to diminish at that point in the summer day.
It's also better to fuel your car after 6 p.m. to avoid ingesting toxic fumes during the heat of the day which could set off breathing problems, she said.

Giving a hungry person $20 is helping them.<quoted text>
Giving free money to those that beg is enabling. Give your money and time to the many social services that are helping the homeless in a more substantial and equitable way. Baking goods, giving people food, housing them in your own home, that makes a good homeless activist and many of us have done this throughout our lives. No bleating about how someone else should build a house for those that can't take care of themselves. Zero trolling for trolls with the same bullsh*t. Real help, not hot air.
Yes it enables them.
It enables them to eat.
You sound like another one of the spoiled trust fund babies that are so prevalent on topix.
I bet you are spoiled and obese like DBS.

Karl Rahner on the Soul
Rev. Terrance W. Klein, S.T.D.
Fordham University
Karl Rahner rejects the notion that when Christians speak of a soul they are citing a surreptitious citizen of a realm that lies beyond or above science. For Rahner, the purpose of calling the soul the supernatural element of the human person is not to establish two spheres within one human being, but rather to attest to the sheer gratuity of our orientation toward God in Christ. When we use the word "spirit," we philosophically reference our disposition over and against the world. When we use the word "soul," we theologically assert the ultimate orientation of this spirit towards God.
Karl Rahner and the Immortality of the Soul
Mark F. Fischer
St. John's Seminary, Camarillo, CA
Do the assertions of Karl Rahner (1) that the soul does not exist for its own sake but is a "principle" of being, and (2) that one must reject anthropological dualism in order to consider the body and soul a unity, endanger the traditional doctrines of the soul's independence and immortality? Rahner's Christology says no. As a principle of being, the soul "causes" the body to realize its potential for immortality. United with the body, the soul is the seat of human (distinct from animal) nature, capable of spiritual growth. Immortality and independence reflect the divine Word's entrance into human nature.
The Immaterial Grounds of Transcendentality: A Thomistic Response to Terry Klein's "Spirit in the World"
Giuseppe Butera
Providence College
In response to Terry Klein's reflection on Rahner's views on the soul as articulated in the latter's "Natural Science and Reasonable Faith," I argue that although Rahner offers a number of brilliant observations about the soul, he fails to appreciate their metaphysical implications. Although he is right to make much of the transcendentality of the human person, Rahner stops short of asking the metaphysical question that this fact of human being begs to be asked: What are the necessary conditions for the possibility of human transcendentality? The answer, I suggest, must be something like Thomas's doctrine of the immaterial subsistent soul.
Saint Anselm on the Kingdom of Heaven: A Model of Right Order
John R. Fortin, O.S.B.
Saint Anselm College
Although Saint Anselm never wrote a systematic treatise on heaven, the concept of heaven, as it is found in several of his writings, is robust; it is rich in meaning and content. All that is good and just, all that is blessing is included in the concept. Heaven is a sign of God's goodness and love for his angelic and human creatures. What stands out in Anselm's discussions of heaven is order: heaven is a model of right order. The paper will examine three kinds of order in the writings of Anselm that express his view of the order in heaven. First, there is the moral order in that sin and punishment are properly adjudicated by the work of the Son of God. Second, there is the salvific order in that heaven is the reward granted to those who persevere in the faith. Third, there is the mystical order in that heaven is to be inhabited by a perfect number of created beings. Thus when Anselm invokes heaven, as he does in many prayers and letters, he is invoking that which for him is a wonderful and powerful concept that reflects God's love.
A Perfectly Simple God and Our Complicated Lives
Gregory B. Sadler
Fayetteville State University
One important divine attribute Saint Anselm examines and treats is that of simplicity. His treatment brings out some surprising features of simplicity itself which escape the frameworks of the logic of created being, providing us a fuller, albeit still very partial, understanding of the true nature of that attribute. A deep problem can then arise for the created human being in the course of such speculations and investigations: How can a complex, complicated, composite created being more closely approach a perfectly simple divine being? In both our thought and in our practice, it seems that our attempts to approach God simply introduce even more complexity into things. My paper addresses that problem. The first section of the paper presents five short Anselmian lessons about the divine attribute of simplicity. The second section then frames and explores the problem. The third and final section provides an Anselmian resolution to the problem.

here, the awesomely gifted Alisha DeFreitas over at Far Above Rubies, tells her story of her brush with the Culture of Death and her refusal to play the world's game. I love that she gives two well-aimed upraised middle fingers: one to the abortion culture of the Left, and one to the Randian Makers vs. Takers class warriors of the Right. She's one of my heros. God love her, her husband, and that little bundle of pure adorableness, Zoe. It is you, the family, who are at the center of God's designs. All of our little human systems of politics, corporations and ideologies exist only so that the family–that is the icon of the Holy Trinity–can prosper and grow in love and in the imitation of God. If they hinder or harm that, then the hell with them. The human system was made for man, not man for the human system.

That big finish makes me want to launch a million rants, on everything from Maximum Security Schools to zero-tolerance idiocy to kids getting ticketed for running lemonade stands…so much of our society today runs according to inhuman systems that proscribe treating human beings as human beings. The fact that most of them are more petty than genocidal in nature does not mean there is not a profound sickness that they reflect.

Notre Dame reclaimed college hockey's #1 spot in the latest poll, flip-flopping with BU as the pair of teams continues their stranglehold on the top of the ballot. ND was last #1 seven weeks ago and the teams have gone 1-2 for 11 consecutive polls.
BU defeated Maine two games to one to advance to the Hockey East semis, but the pollsters must not have liked the difficulty the Terriers had in getting the job done. Michigan holds the third spot while Denver and Northeastern flipped at number four and five, respectively. The Huskies needed three games to down UMass to advance to the HEA semis.
North Dakota, Yale, Princeton, Cornell, and Vermont round out the top ten. The three Ivy League schools, and ECAC members, each climbed three spots as Vermont, #11 New Hampshire, and #12 Miami each dropped after losing series this weekend. Boston College, who defeated UNH, climbed three spots to #15 and UMass-Lowell, who defeated Vermont, returns to the poll at #19.
College Hockey wraps up its conference tournaments this weekend, leading into Sunday's announcements of the NCAA tournament pairings which will begin next weekend. In Hockey East, Northeastern and UMass-Lowell face off and arch-rivals BC and BU tangle on Friday night. The winners advance to the Saturday Championship Game.

Carolina Panthers
Carolina Panthers news, rumors and injuries
Panthers | Cam Newton's confidence was shaken
Thu, 29 Jun 2017 06:26:43 -0700
Carolina Panthers QB Cam Newton's down year in 2016 was due in part to a loss of confidence in his offensive line, which was hit hard by injuries. A big part of Newton's game has always been his ability to hold the ball, buy time and strike downfield. The injuries to the line affected that.
Fantasy Tip: Newton completed just 52.9 percent of his passes and tossed 16 fewer touchdowns than in his MVP 2015 campaign. His rushing numbers were cut in half as well. As the line goes, he goes. He's coming off of shoulder surgery, but he's expected to be ready for camp. He'll be an upper-middle option as a QB1 in fantasy.

Panthers | Cam Newton changing his diet and approach
Tue, 27 Jun 2017 09:59:45 -0700
Carolina Panthers QB Cam Newton claims he is "hands down" the thinnest he's been at this point in an offseason and admits he has to realize his job "is not necessarily to always be the playmaker," according to Panthers.com writer Bill Voth.
Fantasy Tip: Newton seems to be onboard with the changes Carolina was hoping to bring about when it added Christian McCaffrey and Curtis Samuel in the draft this April. Even though it might be hard for owners to adjust their thinking on Newton, the reality of the situation is 2017 will probably mark the official start of his transition into being more of a mobile - as opposed to a running - quarterback. A return to top-five fantasy quarterback status cannot and should not be ruled out.

Panthers | Cam Newton begins throwing
Mon, 26 Jun 2017 07:42:08 -0700
Carolina Panthers QB Cam Newton (shoulder) began light throwing Monday, June 26, for the first time since offseason shoulder surgery. He threw 45 passes to athletic trainer Ryan Vermillion. "Obviously, it's still not 100 percent, but seeing the ball come out of my hand in a throwing motion was good. When I say it's not 100 percent, I'm noting the range of motion part," Newton said. "Like if you sleep with your legs hanging off your bed the whole night, you're going to wake up and be super stiff. Or like sitting on your hands, or sitting in an awkward position and finally getting up and moving - that's how I feel."
Fantasy Tip: Newton fell back to the pack a bit after his MVP 2015 season, but he remains a high-end option at the position after the elite tier is drafted.

Panthers | Kelvin Benjamin's size an asset
Sat, 24 Jun 2017 19:42:59 -0700
Carolina Panthers WR Kelvin Benjamin's weight was never an issue, according to general manager Dave Gettleman, and Gettleman said Benjamin doesn't need to be fast to be effective. "Kelvin's speed is vertical," Gettleman said. "He makes it up in a different way. (His) ability to make people miss is to run through them."
Fantasy Tip: Benjamin can be a matchup nightmare, especially in the red zone, but big games tend to be sporadic. He has WR2 upside if he can find some consistency, but it is safer to draft him as a WR3.

Panthers | Greg Olsen could hold out
Wed, 21 Jun 2017 07:21:34 -0700
Carolina Panthers TE Greg Olsen doesn't rule out holding out of training camp for a new contract.
Fantasy Tip: The 32-year-old has three straight 1,000-yard seasons, but last year's three touchdowns really hurt his stock. He's still an effective, high-end TE1 in fantasy. However, the ceiling might not be as high as others in that tier.

Panthers | Russell Shepard shines
Mon, 19 Jun 2017 09:16:37 -0700
Carolina Panthers WR Russell Shepard consistently got open from the slot this spring and caught everything thrown his way, according to beat writer Joseph Person.
Fantasy Tip: Monitor his progress in training camp as he could be worth a flyer as a WR5.

Panthers | Kelvin Benjamin back in shape
Mon, 19 Jun 2017 09:11:56 -0700
Carolina Panthers WR Kelvin Benjamin appears to have worked himself back in shape, in the opinion of beat writer Joseph Person. Head coach Ron Rivera said that Benjamin didn't weigh the reported 280 pounds in April, but he might have been 270 pounds. On the final day of minicamp, Benjamin reached down to catch a pass a couple of inches off the ground and got both feet inbounds.
Fantasy Tip: Benjamin appears to have received the wake-up call, but this appears to be an issue that could be an ongoing thing. He has low-end WR2 prowess in fantasy, but he's safer as a WR3.

Panthers | Michael Oher may be cut
Mon, 19 Jun 2017 09:11:29 -0700
Carolina Panthers OT Michael Oher (concussion) may not be in the team's plans as he remains in the concussion protocol. The Panthers could save $4.5 million against the salary cap by cutting Oher, who would likely qualify for the maximum $1.1 million a year under the league's injury protection benefit.

Panthers | Cam Newton still on track in his rehab
Fri, 16 Jun 2017 12:29:06 -0700
Carolina Panthers QB Cam Newton (shoulder) did not throw during minicamp, but his recovery from shoulder surgery is still on track. Head coach Ron Rivera said last week he expected Newton to throw, but clarified that statement this week.
Fantasy Tip: Rivera initially said following the surgery that his quarterback would start throwing 12 weeks after the procedure, which is next week. Newton's fantasy star is dimming a bit as the Panthers want to reduce their reliance on his running ability, although he still figures to generate more fantasy value on the ground than most quarterbacks for at least another year or two. He should be considered a mid- to low-end QB in most fantasy leagues in 2017.

Updated: "Fixing" my 1953 Model 70, the saga begins.
Late last September my brother in law gave me my Dad's 1953 Model 70 .30-06Spr that my Dad gave to him in the late 1970's. My brother in law never did shoot it. The rifle shows a lot of field time but not much shooting near as I can tell. It looks better in the picture than it does in person. I like the "feel" of the rifle and enjoy shooting it. I took one deer with it last fall two weeks after it arrived here. tt also has some sentimental value so I'd like to make it shoot.
In another thread Kiwi Nate mentioned that there are frequently multiple problems. Somewhat surprisingly given their reputation, this rifle has multiple problems.
It's shooting very erratically. 3 shot groups from 1" to 3-1/2" and sometimes 4". The 1" groups are very rare. 5 shot groups are always over 2-1/2". 6 shot groups over 3" spread all over. The only reason it was hunted with is that it pretty much puts the first shot in an inch and a half of the same place. The rest can go anywhere.
Inspection results/diagnosis:
The bore coppers very heavily and quickly. It takes 3 over night soaks with WipeaOut with two aftenoon soaks with BoreTech and morning soaks with SLIP2000 (to get the carbon) to get a clean patch out of it. I took out the carbon with M-PRO7 then inspected it with the borescope. The copper starts in the throat and just gets worse and worse as the inspection progresses toward the muzzle. The bore is quite rough with tooling marks and chatter of varying intensity the length of the bore. It's worst just beyond the throat though there is a bad patch about mid bore as well. No place is completely chatter free. Even though it's 57 years old the lands in the throat still have rea,er cross hatch marks and smearing (it was a dull reamer) though the chamber appears to be centered as best I can tell given the rough condition in there. If I ever saw a candidate for firelapping (a last resort) this bore is it. I've never used it before but I'm going to try it on this barrel. I don't see how it can make it worse and it might allow me to save it.
The chamber itself is very very rough. In 4 firings I've had brass thin almost .005" in an annular groove inside just above the base and I'm only bumping the shoulders .002". Polishing the chamber will fix that.
Looking at the stock one can see the pressure points as shiny dark places on the wood. I'll get pictures of this when I take it apart to start the process - for sure before I bed it. The compressed shiny wood shows the action is resting only on the lip around the magazine and the rear screw, not the intended front flat area just behind the recoil lug, so tightening the action screws bends and stresses the action big time. Changing screw torque moves the group all over the place. The recoil lug is not touching anywhere. It's literally hanging almost centered in it's "slot" when the receiver is installed so the floor plate will close. Bedding the action to the receiver will fix these issues.
There is a 4th screw that screws through the stock into the rear sight lug on the barrel to clamp it to the stock. The rifle shoots somewhat better with the barrel mounting screw removed. I'll float the barrel.
The good news, the M70 factory trigger is totally excellent. It adjusted to be as close to perfect as any hunting rifle I own including my CZ's with their single set triggers. Creep free, breaks like glass, no perceptable over travel. Gotta like that. The other good news is the scope, a new VX-II 3-9x40 with the bullet drop dots on it, is just fine. It shoots bugholes on my .243 - I tried it on that known good rifle before mounting it on the M70.
I like the rifle, don't want to sell it, I can do it all the work myself which makes it pretty much a no-brainer, so I'm going to fix it.
The treatment plan pretty much in this order:
1) Put a very few rounds of firelap bullets down the barrel cleaning and inspecting it with the borescope in the throat area and just beyond after each round. My buddy has a Hawkeye borescope I can borrow and I have a good place to do this back on my sister's farm (about 500 yards from where I'm sitting now). I'll slug it and inspect it the full length of the bore at least every 5 rounds to be sure all is feeling right the full length of the bore. I'll take my tracter back there. The loader bucket will make a 5' wide work bench to set the gun vise on and clamp the press to so I can load the lapping bullets one at a time into primed cases changeing grits as needed, and have a place to clamp the barrel for slugging it as seems appropriate. Once the throat cleans up I'll stop. The rest of the bore will be finished by hand lapping it if it needs it.
2) Pull the action, unscrew the barrel, stick it in the lathe and polish the chamber. I'd set it back a turn and rechamber but if I do it will cause all sorts of issues - this rifle has a rear sight bulge mid barrel, and integral fron sight ramp. If it doesn't shoot well enough after all is done, I'll just rebarrel it rather than trying to set it back.
3) While it's out of the receiver I'll slug and hand lap the barrel till the finish is as good as I can make it within reason.
4) Before I reassemble the barrel to the receiver, I'll inspect the crown once more while the borescope is here and maybe, just to eliminate it as an issue, I'll indicate it thorugh the headstock and re-crown it. I'll have to make a special tool to do that because of the front sight ramp but that's part of the fun.
5) Give the barrel one last inspection, if all looks good, screw it back on the receiver.
6) I have some 1/2" drill rod that I'll use for the front and rear pillars (there isn't much room for the rear pillar - I may have to make the pillar slightly smaller back there). I'll machine some grooves around them to make sure the epoxy gets a good grip. I also have some 3/4" aluminum rod I could machine into pillars but I like the idea of steel better.
6) Float the barrel by carefully enlarging the barrel channel.
7) Bed the action to the stock after putting the stock in the mill to get rid of excess wood and the receiver to make sure there is "draft" on the recoil lug. I'll do it as a two step process (like shown in the Holland video - it's worked well for me in the past) gluing in the pillars first, then doing the rest of the bedding the next day.
8) After the bedding is cured and cleaned up I'll inspect and touch up the barrel channel if necessary.
9) The rifle's value as a collectable isn't much now and it will be less after I work on it so some place in this process I'll cut the stock off and install a good recoil pad so the length of pull is about 1/2" shorter than it is now. Probably a Limbsaver, KickEEZ, or Decelerator. I'm OK with the recoil now, and it's a heavy rifle at 9+ pounds with scope, but as I get older I'll start to notice it more and that blued steel butt plate isn't exactly shoulder friendly.
10) Reassemble the rifle and see how it shoots. I think it will shoot well enough (consistant 1 MOA or less at 100 yards) to be a decent 300 yard deer rifle.
If it doesn't shoot an inch or less, I'll take it apart, true the receiver, fit, chamber, and install a new barrel. I'm doing a lot of work to avoid the new barrel but it it won't shoot, it won't shoot.
Anyway, that's the plan for now. I'll take some pictures and post my progress along the way. I already have some "before" targets.
There's no rush. My two rules for retirement are:
1) having fun is job 1.
2) Nothing is urgent.
Deer season is in the fall. That said, I have all the material in hand to do it except the firelap and sllugging bullets which are on the way from NECO, the weather for the next few weeks won't be conducive to a lot of outdoor activity so I might as well be in my shop having fun..

Re: "Fixing" my 1953 Model 70, the saga begins.
Please keep us posted on how your project goes. I am curious to see how the ol girl will shoot after her tune up.
My Grandpa gave me his Model 70 in '06 and I love that gun. I still havent found another gun with an action as smooth as that rifle. It shot really well too. He had the barrel glass bedded years ago and it seemed to help with the accuracy. It would always put 3 shots around a half inch for me w good handloads. That always impressed considering the gun is over 50 years old.
I am a model 70 nut and I am curious to see how yours shoots. I love old guns like these, they have so much character!

Re: "Fixing" my 1953 Model 70, the saga begins.
This is what the stock looks like now - the "before" picture:
The compressed area around the magazine well and where the tang rests on the stock behind the rear action screw are obvious. the lack of contact on the flat where the front action screw is located is also obvious. Not seen in this picture, there is zero evidence of recoil lug contact with anything.
Wood is missing down the front of the hole for the rear action screw. I think that is a factory screw up or something that happened to it in its long history because near as I can tell there is no need for it to be missing for clearance reasons. I'll epoxy an aluminum pillar in there ~ 1/2" in diameter.
This should be a fun project.
I'm going to go ahead and bed it before I do anything to the barrel and chamber. If all goes well I'll get time to work on it Wednesday or Thursday.

Re: "Fixing" my 1953 Model 70, the saga begins.
I love my Winchesters! But what I love even more is the thought of someone going to such great lengths to preserve an ''icon'' for sentimental purposes. Preserving an icon (to me anyway) doesnt always mean keeping the monitary value by keeping it ''stock''. To some of us it means keeping grandpa's ol rifle in good and proper/usefull condition. Hats off to you for taking on the project! Good luck. I wanna see the progress and look forward to reading more of your posts.

Re: "Fixing" my 1953 Model 70, the saga begins.
I have finished bedding the rifle. It was a lot of fun.
I set it up in the mill for most of the work. It isn't nearly as sophisticated as Chad's CNC setup, but taking my time and working carefully, it got the job done.
After milling it looked like this:
Ready for reassembly it looked like this.
The 2 goobers just forward of the bolt handle slot are due to my lack of skill with modeling clay but i don't think they will hurt the accuracy at all. The receiver is a snug fit but it goes in and out without undue effort.
As this next picture shows, the action has a very rough finish on it from the factory so the Devcon 10110 didn't finish up looking smooth and shiny.
I made pillars and a set of temporary alignment studs. The front pillar is 5/8" OD, the ID was drilled with an "N" drill. The OD of the shank of the alignment studs is 19/64" OD. The short threads are .245"-32 to screw into the action, the longer threads are 1/4-28 to screw into the tooling nuts. The rear pillar is 1/2" OD, "N" drill ID.
The goal was to have the pillars aligned during the glue in process so when i was doine the 1/4" action screws would go right down the center of the pillar hole and wouldn't touch anyplace in the pillar. It worked.
This is what it looked like once I got it back together but before installing the scope, etc.:
I've loaded some ammunition to take it to the range and see if it shoots any better than it did. After that I'm going to go to work on the barrel and see if I can teach myself to hand lap it. I have some lead to make laps with, and some grit. The next step will be an even bigger learning experience.

Metal Detecting Post #86 - Tips for Using Metal Detectors to Find Civil War Relics in the South
The following is a guest post by Michael Bernzweig
Relic hunting metal detectors are the right equipment for finding such exciting authentic Civil War items as swords, musket balls, buttons, buckles, mini balls, and cannons. Though most detectorists and relic hunters don't sell their finds, relics can be worth a great deal of money, such as Civil War buttons which routinely sell anywhere from under $100 to well over $2,500 plus. The condition of a piece and the rarity of it both contribute to its monetary value. For many people, the excitement of uncovering a piece of history – in other words, metal detecting relics – is the prize in itself. Sharing their finds with family and friends is also gratifying. Many relic hunters also put on demonstrations for local schools and civic clubs and also donate finds to local museums.
There are many hunting sites in the south, both public and private, where you can search for Civil War relics. It's important to get permission before metal detecting relics on personal property. Be sure to check with a local expert for advice on the laws in your area. Another important step is to equip yourself with the right tools.
You can probably imagine that many areas ideal for hunting Civil War relics may be well picked over. The good news is that you can invest in advanced relic hunting metal detectors that will give you an edge in these worked out sties. Equally import is selecting a hand held pinpointing device like the Garrett Pro-Pointer. A pinpointer will let you quickly, carefully and easily recover your finds. Some top relic metal detectors include the XP DEUS and the Fisher F75 Special Limited Edition metal detector.
Target recovery can become a troublesome issue, if you don't have the right tools. Investing in quality target recovery tools ultimately saves you money, since inexpensive items don't usually last. There are three categories of target recovery tools:
• A knife allows you to cut plugs of dirt speedily and speed up the recovery process.
• Metal detecting trowels are constructed of hardened stainless steel and are available in different lengths and widths, to suit your needs.
• Relic Shovels are a tool of choice for many Civil War relic hunters.
The metal detector you choose can also be designed specifically to hunt for relics on particular types of terrain. In many parts of the southeastern U.S. the ground has heavy mineralization. If you choose a metal detector with a ground balance, you will be able to filter out the interference caused by the minerals and hone in on what you're looking for: Civil war relics!
About the author: Michael Bernzweig manages MetalDetector.com in Southborough, MA. He has written extensively on the subject of metal detecting since the mid 1980's. He has traveled world-wide in his pursuit of educating, exploring and advising others in the proper use of metal detectors. Outside of the business he enjoys mentoring students, being involved in the community and spending time with his family.
1st image is of the Garrett AT Pro. The AT Pro is an excellent relic machine and waterproof to 10 feet. I own one and, of the four I own, it is my favorite machine. The 2nd image is a silver George Washington button was and found with the XP DEUS wireless metal detector. Michael Bernzweig of MetalDetector.com notes that this is a rare and unusual find that would certainly be the center piece of any relic hunters' collection.

Cuisine: Italian, pizza
Location: South Perth
I have a more recent food review of Ciao Italia here.
I'd gone out to dinner with a friend and we went to Ciao Italia on Mill Point Rd in South Perth. This place had an interesting feel and vibe to it. We were greeted and served by very friendly and humorous waiters who are Italian, of course. I loved their Italian accents. We had tortellini in a creamy white wine mushroom sauce and a chilli king prawn wood fired pizza. Both were delicious. The pizza had quite a thin base and it was a bit floppy like in the movies. Quite different to what I'm used to but an interesting experience none the less. The creamy white wine sauce was absolutely delicious. Because we'd gone after work and got there around 6pm, we just managed to get a table. By the time we left it was packed with a long line for takeaway and about another 15 people sitting outside waiting for a table. Certainly a very enjoyable Italian restaurant from my point of view. A work mate tells me just down the road is a place called Spagie's which is just as popular and tasty.
Verdict: Delicious offering of Italian cuisine – pasta or pizza, take your pick. I'd definitely recommend a visit here.
Price: Reasonable
Taste: Delicious
Value: Reasonable
Recommendation: Highly Recommend

Crystal Palace Caravan Club Site is ideally placed for visitors who are keen to visit London and all its attractions. The number 3 bus near the caravan park departs regularly and goes into London via Brixton, Lambeth Bridge, Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly Circus and terminates on Oxford Street. The bus operates all through the night so late night theatre goers need not worry about returning to site.
As well as London itself, the site is ideally situated for annual events such as the Ideal Home Exhibition, the London to Brighton mini run, the London Marathon, the Chelsea Flower show, Wimbledon and of course Christmas and New Year events.
If you need a break from the capital, Crystal Palace is a delightful community in its own right with plenty of pubs, shops and restaurants all within walking distance. The huge park next door still displays the ruins of the iconic Crystal Palace which unfortunately burnt down in 1936. The local museum open at weekends is well worth a visit to see pictures of the Palace as it was. Also within the park are Paxton's dinosaurs surrounding a lovely boating lake, playgrounds, cafe plus a national sports centre complete with a public swimming pool, play area and maze, and it is an ideal venue for cycling and walking. It is possible to cycle into London using route 23 of the National Cycle Network which starts in Dulwich, home to the Picture Gallery.
Please note - this site is situated within the London Low Emission Zone. Visit http://www.tfl.gov.uk/lezlondon for more information.

text: Hello out there, I planning on buying a Roamio Pro and 4 Mini's here in the Seattle WA area. After reading the posts about issues with cards and firmware updates in other parts of the country I wanted to ask if there are any known issues locally. I want it to work on all tuners at the get go. I currently have three reg. HD's and one Series 3 HD all with lifetimes. They all work fine but Comcast rapes you with outlet and card fees. I think I can get a break even point in about 2-3 years cost wise after selling my current units. Is anybody running this configuration up here in the corner of the USA? Thanks, Mike, Issaquah, WA

Definition of inveigh

Theme music by Joshua Stamper ©2006 New Jerusalem Music/ASCAP
Examples of inveigh in a Sentence
always inveighing against the high property taxes that they were forced to pay
Did You Know?
You might complain or grumble about some wrong you see, or, for a stronger effect, you can "inveigh" against it. "Inveigh" comes from the Latin verb invehere, which joins the prefix in- with the verb vehere, meaning "to carry." "Invehere" literally means "to carry in," and when "inveigh" first appeared in English, it was also used to mean "to carry in" or "to introduce." Extended meanings of "invehere," however, are "to force one's way into," "attack," and "to assail with words," and that's where the current sense of "inveigh" comes from. A closely related word is "invective," which means "insulting or abusive language." This word, too, ultimately comes from "invehere."
Origin and Etymology of inveigh
Latin invehi to attack, inveigh, passive of invehere to carry in, from in- + vehere to carry — more at way

US version of the STi?

Also, does anyone know the mod capability for the Evo, are there pretty much the same aftermarket products as the WRX?

US version of the STi?
US version of the Evo?
Also, does anyone know the mod capability for the Evo, are there pretty much the same aftermarket products as the WRX?
After seeing the standard Lancer in real life, I really don't like the styling as much as I did from the pictures. The VII will look different obviously, but the lines are the same, so I'm not thrilled about that. I always think of the EVO as a bigger car, but it's not and I think a lot of it's presence in photos is lost in the flesh.
Also, While our version of the VII car may have a tad more technology than the STi in regards to the drive-system, it doesn't have a lot of the features that make the euro lancer so cool (FMIC etc.) I believe that the performance is gonna end up being almost identical with the two cars, and since I love that boxer sound, I think I'd have to stay loyal and go with the STi.
Of course, this is based on not seeing or having driven either of these cars in real life (obviously ) so my opinion could change pretty quickly in a year!
US STi, the lancer VII is a porker, and VIII will be even more of a porker, plus hollow cams dont sit well with me

Why? What's wrong with lower rotational inertia?Originally posted by Marcolus
...plus hollow cams dont sit well with me
.....and The STi weighs more than the Evo VII
If you've ever been to a ProRally, you would know that Mitsubishis sound like tractors and Subaru's sound like V8 monsters. I would never be able to drive an EVO VIII, the STi is soooo much better IMO.
STI,especially if I had to maitain it myself.Besides Mitsu has that ever looming reliability problem.
Fighting on the internet is like running in the Special Olympics,whether you win or lose,you're still retarded.

Very true Nexus6, but...
What if the WRX/Sti was 2-3 years behind the Evo being introduced to the US market? Would you still sit back and wait for the WRX/STi while others were purchasing the Evo having tones of fun? I was contemplating this scenario this morning.
Did the timing of introduction of the WRX have anything to do with your purchase? I know I wasn't going to buy one until after I drove it...I fell in love with it. Now I know what I was missing. I am even looking into options of trading mine in for the STi when it comes out. But what if the Evo came first? Would it have been the same...not knowing I would like it until I drove it...etc.
Just a question!
if it takes 2-3 years to get the STI over here, so what. By then i will have my wrx performing WAY better than a stock STI or EVO, if it doesn't already out perform them.
Most major automotive publications (European) say that the Evo is marginally faster, but the car is twitchy and difficult to drive fast. The same authors say things like, "The STi is so fast on so many surfaces, you can't help thinking that it shouldn't be allowed."
I'll take a silky smooth STi over a "twitchy" Evo any day!
Plus the interior in the Subaru KICKS THE CRAP out of the interior in the Evo (PLASTIC EVERYWHERE).
STi, definitely. After my experience with the Montero, and hearing that my experiences are not unusual, I just could buy the EVO. It's sweet, but not as sweet as the STi to me.

Sport Compact Car did a review of them and the VII came out faster and more precise due to their active diffs but they had more fun with the STi
I go for the 6-speed.
my car is slow,,,,,, very slow.
See...the 6 speed is what I wanted all along. How hard and how much money would it take to get the 2002 converted into a 6 speed?

For those that didnt attend, here is a great little article from a writer on the GTcars site

Re: Hatched shading?
In my XP SP3 it the DPark's solution works perfect.
Beside, I tried several PlotPoints settings and see that below 150 points
the hatching starts to go uneven. With 100 points it becomes pretty
And, I have had similar problems with *RegionFunction* when applied to some
rotated and translated functions plots. The corresponding
(rotated/translated) *RegionFunction* specification sometimes works and
sometimes does not when applied to the same (rotated/translated) functions.
I solved the problem by applying the corresponding 'rotation/translation' to
the original 'PlotRangle rectangle' and then plotting by hand only the
points of the shifted functions lying within the rotated/translated
PlotRangle rectangle.
My problem seems to be related with the computation of the intersections
with of the converted functions with the corresponding new *PlotRange*
The examples I have are too large, and perhaps tricky, to be posted here. I
will try to isolate some simpler example to post it.

Indio Police Union Members Request to be Removed from Court Injunction
4 Members of the Indio Police Command Unit want out of lawsuit.
INDIO, Calif. - Back in June, a Riverside County Superior Court judge granted an injunction, to prevent the city of Indio from re-organizing its police department. The union that represents police management filed suit against the city, charging unfair labor practices. Now four members of the union are formally requesting to be removed from the court injunction. They feel pulling away from the union will actually create a more united front. Sgt. Jason Hapner says, "We don't support it and we want to be removed from it."
Sgt. London Pickering says, "I think it's a shame, it's gotten to this point, hence the reason we're here, is we don't agree with it."
It all started with the proposed reorganization of the department, to trim down upper police management.
The city proposed eliminating the rank of captain and lieutenant and replacing them with a division commander and administrative services manager. The shift in rank, meant a cut in salary. Sgt. Pickering says, "Initially I was one of those positions, but due to retirement as it stands now, I will stay in my position."
But he was prepared to take the demotion and carry on. Pickering says, "Bottom-line is at the end of the day we still have our duty of being good stewards and servicing the public day in and day out."
They think in the long run, the injunction is counter-productive and harmful to the city and that the union should be in line with the police officers association, when it comes to concessions and saving jobs in the city. Sgt. Hapner says, "Why we're coming out and speaking is because we don't feel we have a voice with the union and we want more transparency and there are others than myself who share this viewpoint."
The four union members are also asking for a recall of the president and the vice president of the union. A hearing on the permanent injunction is set for September 10th. Sgt. Hapner says, "It's going to be a compromise, no question and there's going to be a give and take on both ends. To see how that's going to unfold is going to be very interesting."

MSU's Stacey Rodger shot 78-74-80 to finish tied for 13th place out of 104 individual golfers. Her 54-hole total of 232 was five strokes out of a top three finish.

Kyle Bragg, a junior from Illinois State, posted a 7-over-par 223 (76-72-75) and earned a share of 20th place. He led the Redbirds to an eighth-place finish, shooting an 897 (302-293-302), beating fellow Missouri Valley Conference foes Northern Iowa (956) and Missouri State (961). Bragg's 7-over-par 223 was low amongst fellow MVC competitors. Junior Ryan Weinhaus led Missouri State for the tournament, finishing tied for 51st individually. And UNI was led by Tyler Johnson (70th).

Social media platforms like Facebook and Google+ are fast becoming a big topic for business. Consumers are embracing these communication and collaboration channels for more than just sharing holiday memories. According to software provider Invesp, one-third of workers use social media at work for at least an hour a day. Most of us also expect to use these collaboration channels increasingly in our work environments to improve the information flow.
We want to communicate at work as we are used to communicating when off work – with or without the consent of our employers. Today, however, Invesp data shows that less than 20% of companies have integrated social media with their customer care, sales or product development. Moreover, communication culture is part of business culture and work flexibility and as such impacts any business' endeavor to attract and retain creative talent. Data by office solutions vendor Intelligent Office, indicates that 25% of people say they would not work for a company that does not allow social media at work.
For IT and business leaders, these social dynamics bring their own opportunities and challenges, as social media communication:

Forrester's Asia Pacific efforts for Marketing & Strategy professionals
Posted by Andrew Stockwell on April 16, 2012
- 585 Recommendations
- 4 comments
I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be moving to Beijing, China later this month to lead Forrester's efforts in the Asia Pacific region to specifically support marketing & strategy professionals.
Explosive population growth, the rapid adoption of digital technologies, and increasing levels of disposable income make Asia Pacific the most exciting and lucrative market for global firms today. By 2014, Asia will include almost half of the world's online population, and China specifically will represent 34% of the world's total population and 42% of all online users. And these consumers are spending - - today, 37% of online users in metropolitan China are buying over the Internet, with Forrester's Asia Pacific Online Retail Forecast predicting online retail spend in China will reach $356.1 billion (USD) by 2016.
In order to succeed in the region, firms must navigate social, cultural, and economic complexities, and intimately understand country-specific consumer technology adoption and behavior. This knowledge will enable marketing and strategy professionals to effectively build new products, customize marketing messages, engage via multiple physical and digital touchpoints, drive sales and service, and deliver exemplary customer experiences. Forrester, via our growing global analyst teams, is committed to delivering the data, analysis, and insights to help marketing and strategy professionals succeed as their firms expand and mature in the APAC region.
Stay tuned for more developments on our efforts in the Asia Pacific region, including the announcment of our first ever Forrester event in China to be held in Shanghai on Nov. 15th. In the meantime, we already have a number of excellent reports on the region you can reference such as Understanding The Changing Needs Of Online Consumers In Asia Pacific, Trends in China's eCommerce Market, The Right Way To Globalize Your Interactive Marketing Programs, and Asia Pacific Online Retail Forecast, 2011 to 2016 (to name a few).
Please also contact me directly at email@example.com, or comment on this blog post, if you have any specific research requirements on the APAC region. I'll be looking to you to help us prioritize our agenda for APAC in 2012 and beyond.
Good luck Andrew!

Green thumbs
The Rockford Garden Club had its plant sale last Saturday. It was a cool, rainy morning, and early, too. It started at 9:00 a.m., with the line outside the Rotary Pavilion forming before that. I only had time for one cup of coffee before I went.
I was astonished at the number of people furiously buying. To me, the plants looked like stuff I see all over in yards or even vacant lots. The Pavilion was jammed with people obviously enthused about this stuff. I understood there were some choice items, and they were cheap compared with a garden shop.
More power to the gardeners of the world! They help keep the place looking nice and they get a lot of enjoyment from it. I looked at my thumb and it still didn't have a tinge of green so I went home to get more coffee.
Some people are kind to me. They send me stuff for this column. I guess they notice I need help. Several poems came in from a school class, all very nice. This one was sent by seventh-grader Will Zimmerman.
On a warm summer day
All the children laugh and play,
Basketballs and footballs flying to and fro.
They were happy to be freed from the terrible snow.
And when winter came
And when the winter winds blew,
They had their mothers brew
Nice hot soup.
No more shooting basketballs at a hoop.
As winter tightens its hold,
Children find entertainment growing mold.
But when spring comes around
What they thought was lost now is found,
The nice warm sun.
I sure share Will's feelings about winter and summer.
First choice
An elderly patient needed a heart transplant and discussed his options with his doctor. The doctor said, "We have three possible donors. The first is a young, healthy athlete who died in an automobile accident. The second is a middle-aged businessman who never drank or smoked and who died flying his private jet. And the third is an attorney who died after practicing law for 30 years. Which would you prefer?"
After some thought, the patient replied, "I'll take the lawyer's heart."
The transplant was a success. Afterward, the doctor asked the patient why he had chosen the lawyer's heart.
"It was easy," replied the patient. "I wanted a heart that hadn't been used."

Milwaukee Area Police Officers In Trouble For Starting Every Day With Porn
(Source) The former Village of Butler police chief, along with several members of his staff, regularly viewed pornography at work, with one officer beginning his day calling it "porn in the morn," according to a 365-page report released Thursday by the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department. One officer is now on paid administrative leave while the findings of the report are reviewed by the Waukesha County district attorney's office. Village Administrator Jesse Thyes asked the Sheriff's Department in February to review the management of the Police Department. Chief Michael Cosgrove retired in March as the inquiry was being conducted.
The review confirmed several complaints leveled against Cosgrove, including that Cosgrove accessed pornographic materials on his Police Department computer and used racially derogatory language in emails to employees, including using the N-word. Cosgrove admitted he used the racial slur and defined it as "people who don't fulfill their societal obligations or someone who abuses the system" and could be of any race, according to the report. The report also found he acted in a profane or demeaning way toward employees of other municipalities while on duty and supervised his own department through fear and intimidation. Although there were rule violations, the Sheriff's Department did not find any criminal activity by Cosgrove.
The department at full staff includes a chief, two lieutenants and four patrol officers. Allegations were leveled against five department members. Cosgrove, who became chief in 2005, was placed on paid administrative leave Feb. 20 and retired March 10. One unnamed officer is on paid administrative leave. The three other officers in the report investigated for misconduct are still on staff and have been disciplined, Thyes said.
I don't think I've ever loved a saying more than "porn in the morn". It's absolutely perfect, and completely logical. Work sucks. Porn is awesome. Would you rather start your day working on your police reports or excel spreadsheet for you cube monkeys, or would you rather jerk off under your desk to a little youjizz? No brainer. Porn in the morn. That's the wave of the future. It's the new office casual. You want to promote a healthy and happy work environment? You porn in the morn. Anyone who doesn't is a sucker.*
*Little easier when you're a blogger who porns in the morn, mid morn, lunch, afternoon, mid afternoon, and evening, but you get what I'm saying.
