Safe Places of Summer
When I was maybe as old as ten my younger sister, age 8, and I walked to Vacation Bible School at the Walnut St. Baptist Church in north St Louis Missouri. The only thing which now stands out in memory is that they showed a real, live movie -- projected onto somebody's bed sheet. This was before we had television; so an actual movie, any movie, was special. And, yes we had "talkies" by then.
Diane and I had to walk because my mother didn't take our dad to work very often, only when she really needed to go someplace. The distance was about three times what we walked to school everyday -- I would guess roughly the equivalent of walking from Page's to the Armory, with about as much traffic. We also walked each Friday to the theater, about twice the distance as this church. But, we could only go to the show if our big brother, age 13, went. If VBS had been held in the evening our parents might have taken us, except dad didn't want anyone to think we were Baptist. I couldn't have told you what we were, but it wasn't Baptist.
The thing which now strikes me as most significant, however, is that it occurred to no one there would be any safety hazard in walking to any place "in the neighborhood." Any place in our neighborhood was a safe place to spend a summer vacation.
This all came to mind after attending the closing program and picnic for our church's Vacation Bible School program. VBS is a herculean effort by all involved. My "contribution" was to take some hot dogs for the proposed picnic -- enthusiasm for which was severely dampened by one of our ever popular thunder storms. My only involvement was to congratulate myself on the wisdom of not volunteering to help keep all those kidlets contained.
It is questionable as to who gets the most out of this week of kids, classes, cookies and mayhem -- the kids or the "grown-ups" who run it all. My money is on the grown-ups, who appear to be having the most fun. I'm guessing you have to be at least 13 to be one of the "grown-up" leaders. And, yes, Karen Wells is at least over 13; it's just her enthusiasm which makes her look younger.
There used to be some debate as to whether to hold VBS right after school lets out in June (while the kids are still "school-broke") or in early August (to help get them settled down for a return to school after two months off).. Since I now have two children who teach elementary classes, my preference would be August.
While they might be recalled 50 years hence, VBS is really too short and chaotic to do much indoctrination. The proof being I am still not a Baptist. When ever they are scheduled, local churches should be encouraged to hold Vacation Bible School. They really do have certain community significance:
First, they give young minds exposure to what we like to call Hoosier values. Values being something school teachers almost can't teach for fear of being sued by somebody with other "values".
And, VBS provides, for one brief moment in time, one of the few remaining safe places of summer.

Is there some way to translate my 3d camera by navigating in the viewport when I look through it, like it works in your regular 3d app? When I select for example camera1 in nuke, as soon as I start to navigate it the view leaves the camera behind, it stands still so to speak.
I found this thread in which they explain the feature a bit better and also say that it would be implented in 6.1, but I cant find it.
Thanks for any help

Apo Apocalypse. Where can I get bindings for this?
2 Attachment(s)
I just bought 2 of these apo apocalypse boards and they have a funny hole pattern no one around here has seen before. There 2 holes center and then near both edges, below and above the center 2 holes are like 4 holes curved.
: . : kind of like that if u can get the picture only another hole below the middle one and the edges are curved.
: :
can anyone help me out with this. I would like to know any info you may have about the boards too. Ive found 1 similar picture on google and thats it. The link directs me to a french forum website talking about terry kidwell in the post.
Did you buy these to actually ride? That is old...
Those things are collectors items. You won't find anything to fit that hole pattern maybe a burton EST might fit on there with some work but that's still a risk.
Oh man. My first deck was an Apocalypse (Cap 5). I still have it, and like you have not seen much online about it. Mine has a normal insert pattern, so I can't help you there.
Most likely the reason you are seeing a French site is because the brand (A.Snowboards at the time mine was made) was started by Regis Rolland (well known for the old Apocalypse films). This link might help if you wanted to know some history about the company, but you might not find much more than that APO SNOW history Who knows...there might be someone at the current company who might help you.
Good luck and post back if you get any info.
BA, feel free to correct me if my history is off ;)
lol man i dont know too much about boards i havent ridden since i was 12 and am now 21. at that age i never got into the details. yeah i did buy them to ride but i only paid 75 for 2 of them
so as for collectors items. are they more sentimental value or something i can make a few dollars on to get my money back?
Who knows...there might be someone out there who wants those boards as collector pieces for sentimental value. Or there's this place I came across while looking for more info on my Apocalypse Donate or Sell Vintage Boards | Utah Snowboard Museum
BA drop some knowledge.
P.S. Youre not gonna find anything that will fit those. I have heard of some people making there own adapter plates to ride vintage boards with modern bindings. Probably not worth the effort.
BA probably has more on this than I do, but iirc, the brand arrived in the US in the 90's (according to that link, '92-'97). They were (and still seem to be, as APO) popular in Europe(?). Rossignol bought the brand sometime in the '90s, then wanted to eliminate the line, Rolland tried to buy back the brand but was shut down.
The Apocalypse I have is either a '93/94 or '94/95. dantech, what does your wife's look like?

One of the more curious developments in the whole consumer ultra-low voltage (CULV) movement is the existence of large, 'thin and light' laptops. Call us practical and sensible if you like, but anything much larger than an A4 sheet of paper is instantly qualified as 'less than portable', no matter how thin or light it might be. MSI is one of many peddling such machines, though, so let's take a closer look at its 15.6in effort, the X600.
If you're having pangs of deja vu about now, it's probably because the X600 is part of the same line of laptops as the previously reviewed X-Slim X340. It wasn't an especially auspicious start. While it was easy to see what MSI was driving at with the X340 - i.e. a thin, portable, MacBook Air-like laptop for half the price - the execution was ham-fisted. Build quality was poor, performance (particularly battery life) was mediocre and the price too steep.
Happily the X600 does rectify many of the problems of the X340. Build quality is much improved. Gone are the horrible flexing keyboard and mushy keys; in are reasonable fit and finish throughout and some semblance of reassurance. We still have reservations about the overall sturdiness, items like the RAM and hard drive are visible through the system's venting and seem rather exposed, but the X600 isn't discernibly worse than 90 per cent of the laptops out there and it weighs a very palatable 2.1kg.
Its spec, at least in this version, is better as well. You get an Intel Core 2 Duo SU9600 CPU running at 1.6GHz with 3MB L2 Cache, a plentiful 4GB of RAM and a massive 500GB hard drive. There's no integrated optical drive, though an external drive is provided in the box. You also get a serviceable, if slightly plain, carry bag. Wireless-N Wi-Fi, Gigabit Ethernet and Bluetooth round-off the otherwise competent feature set, while a two year warranty is very welcome.
Aesthetically, while the 25mm thickness and general 'thin is in' design ethic has its issues, the X600 is a nicely sculpted machine. Its aggressively tapered edges give it the desired sleek, low-profile appearance and an air of class. Aside from being very slim, however, the design is pretty conservative; completed, as it is, entirely in glossy and matt black plastic. It might not be adventurous, but if it's a choice between this and the ugly embellishments found on the GT627 then conservative is good thing.

An Investment Opinion
by Dale Wettlaufer
Gateway Scores Hat Trick
Direct PC company Gateway (NYSE: GTW) scored a hat trick once again this quarter. Goal 1: Outgrow the industry; Goal 2: Good capital management; Goal 3: Turn in good margins and make investments to grow the business. In the worst Q1 sentiment environment that I can remember, the bovine box company grew unit sales 42% year-over-year, nearly three times worldwide unit growth. In the U.S., Q1 unit sales into the consumer market grew 61%, tripling industry growth in the U.S. consumer market and giving Gateway a 25% share in that market, according to the company.
One nice thing about this data is that you don't have to figure out if it's sell-in or sell-out and you don't have to figure out if management is giving you the most economically meaningful numbers. Gateway doesn't have a couple of different models that they have to mess with. They have a few different distribution methods, but they're all direct, as Ted Waitt pointed out so many times yesterday, emulating Michael Dell. If Waitt's executive team is thinking like Michael Dell's, and not just sounding like it (which would be cynical to say, and which I doubt due to the numbers over the last year), then they're on the right track.
Some more numbers: Gross margin expanded 194 basis points year-over-year, resulting in a 33.9% increase in gross profit dollars on a 21.7% increase in revenues year-over-year. Sticking that extra 194 basis points of margin in the bank or sending it back to shareholders would be a bad idea since Gateway is generating increasing returns on capital. What it did in Q1 was the same thing it did last quarter -- it's pouring that back into operations, expanding its outbound business sales force operating from its nearly inventory-free Gateway Country stores. It's stepping up advertising and marketing to build brand equity; and it's increasing its inbound sales and service people infrastructure to handle volume, close the sale, and keep the customer happy. As a result, the company poured more sales dollars into SG&A to the tune of 14.7% of revenues, up from 13.5% last quarter and 13.2% in Q1 1998.
Far from being a problem, these are investments that increase the intrinsic value of the company even though they're being expensed and they don't come at the expense of an overall margin decline worthy of concern. In a seasonally-slower Q1, operating margin expanded 37 basis points year-over-year, though some analysts might be fixating on the sequential decline in operating margin. Gross profit dollars were down $47.8 million and SG&A spending was down less than $1 million. Far from being unintentional and a bad sign, that's discretionary spending the company is engaging in, which many investors and commentators seem to have a problem with (whether it's capitalized or immediately expensed) when they're looking at a single point analysis rather than thinking about things inside a discounted cash flow or economic value added perspective.
Cash conversion cycle for the quarter was excellent. Gateway calculates it a little differently with better information and a little different way of looking at it than I, but I get negative 4.7 days calculated with average balance sheet data. Ending days COGS (cost of goods sold) in inventory was 9.08, but I believe that's being pushed up a little bit with things other than manufacturing-related COGS coming through the income statement. Double-digit same-store sales growth at Gateway Country stores likely resulted in better than 100% return on invested capital (ROIC) for the Stores and overall ROIC was 62.5%, adding back $4.7 million in additional warranty float to net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT).
Taking out that addition to NOPAT, whatever flavor you prefer, ROIC was 59.4% (both annualized). Counting Q4's addition to warranty float in ROIC, return on capital in Q4 was 89.3%. Not counting it in, ROIC in Q4 was 80.6%. All are great numbers. Q4 is definitely helped by that extra float and current liabilities in the busiest quarter reducing Gateway's net investment in the business. Yes, some people are going to focus on that, as well, but these are spectacular numbers that point to an economic model that is pretty hard to beat.
On an EVA (economic value added) and DCF (discounted cash flow) basis, I have the company worth well over $90. This quarter's progress added to the intrinsic value of the company, though I recognize that the value of a well-run PC company is not always going to be recognized through the second and third quarters. Maybe so, maybe not. But I don't rely on the market to tell me what things are worth.
In the meantime, I think this points to the fact that the PC industry is quite alive and that Gateway, along with Dell, is taking the economic returns that are to be found in this still-attractive industry away from other companies. EPS of $0.62, up 29%, on a 22% sales increase is excellent, as are the capital management data and the steady increase from last year in return on capital. Unless the PC industry dies tomorrow or next year, this company is worth a lot more than the current market quote.

Online auctioneer eBay (Nasdaq: EBAY) was bid up $12 13/16 to $184 13/16 this morning. The company announced a new "personal shopper" feature last night that will notify users of specific items up for sale through e-mail using keywords and a price range.
Cable TV operator Cox Communications (NYSE: COX) plugged in $2 3/4 to $75 1/4 after announcing that it will buy cable systems serving more than 260,000 customers in Fairfax County and Fredericksburg, Virginia, from Media General (AMEX: MEG.A) for $1.4 billion in cash. Cox expects to close the deal late this year.
Cable TV operator MediaOne Group (NYSE: UMG) raced ahead $7 1/4 to $76 3/4 this morning on news of a buyout offer from AT&T (NYSE: T). MediaOne already agreed to be acquired by rival Comcast Corp. (Nasdaq: CMCSK) about a month ago. AT&T's unsolicited counter-offer is worth $58 billion, or $87.375 per share -- $30.85 in cash and 0.95 of an AT&T share -- based on AT&T's close yesterday of $59.50. AT&T would also assume $4.5 billion in debt and preferred equity. Comcast advanced $1 11/16 to $69 5/16 this morning while AT&T lost $3 3/16 to $53 9/16; head back to today's Breakfast With the Fool for more.
Coffee maker and marketer Chock Full O'Nuts (NYSE: CHF) brewed up gains of $3 to $9 3/8 after confirming in a press release that it turned down an unsolicited $10 1/2 per share offer to be bought out by Sara Lee Corp. (NYSE: SLE). Chock Full O'Nuts called the offer inadequate and opportunistic. The offer represents a nearly 65% premium to yesterday's closing price for the coffee company's shares.
Online brokerage E*Trade (Nasdaq: EGRP), which announced plans to split its stock 2-for-1 after the market's May 21 close, advanced $6 23/32 to $102 23/32. It would represent the stock's second such split of 1999.
E-commerce intermediary Priceline.com (Nasdaq: PCLN) added $11 5/8 to $88 following its placement on Goldman, Sachs & Co.'s "recommended list."

Programmable logic devices maker Xilinx (Nasdaq: XLNX) slid $5 3/16 to $47 15/16 after reporting fiscal Q4 EPS of $0.24 versus $0.20 last year, matching the Zacks mean estimate. However, Prudential Securities cut its rating on the firm to "accumulate" from "strong buy."
Digital audio and video tool creator Avid Technology (Nasdaq: AVID) slipped $5 1/8 to $14 1/16 after reporting Q1 EPS of $0.10 (excluding acquisition-related charges), down from last year's $0.31 and below the Zacks mean estimate of $0.20.

PC hard disk drive supplier Maxtor Corp. (Nasdaq: MXTR) slumped $1 7/8 to $5 11/16 after reporting Q1 EPS of $0.17, which was in line with the Zacks mean estimate. However, the company said a "very aggressive pricing environment" will put downward pressure on Q2 earnings. Merrill Lynch and Hambrecht & Quist both lowered their ratings on the firm this morning.
Electronic payment software developer Transaction Systems Architects (Nasdaq: TSAI) slid $7 7/8 to $29 1/8 despite posting fiscal Q2 EPS of $0.34 compared to $0.27, topping analysts' mean estimate of $0.30. However, BT Alex. Brown lowered its rating on the company to "market perform" from "buy."
Healthcare services provider United Payors & United Providers (Nasdaq: UPUP) was down $2 9/16 to $18 3/16 after selling 2.5 million shares in a secondary offering at a price of $19 per share, which is below yesterday's close of $20 3/4 per share.
Global satellite and paging company Iridium World Communications (Nasdaq: IRID) fell $1 5/16 to $15 3/4 after CEO Edward F. Staiano resigned yesterday, less than a month after CFO Roy Grant announced his decision to step down. Salomon Smith Barney, Goldman Sachs, and Credit Suisse First Boston reduced their ratings on the company.
Secure e-commerce transaction technologies firm VeriSign (Nasdaq: VRSN) dropped $19 11/16 to $127 after reporting a Q1 loss of $0.08 per share versus a loss of $0.27 per share a year ago, which was not quite as bad as the loss of $0.10 per share expected by analysts surveyed by Zacks. Nonetheless, Morgan Stanley Dean Witter lowered its rating on the firm to "neutral" from "outperform."
Wholesale food distributor and supermarket operator Richfood Holdings (NYSE: RFH) tumbled $4 3/8 to $11 5/8 after Carlisle, Pennsylvania-based Giant Food Stores, which is owned by the Netherlands' Royal Ahold N.V., said it will not renew its roughly $600 million a year food supply contract with Richfood when the contract ends later this year. Richfood said the decision will trim $0.15 to $0.20 per share from its fiscal 2000 earnings and $0.28 to $0.33 per share from its earnings thereafter.
Health and beauty aid products distributor Allou Health & Beauty Care (AMEX: ALU) lost $2 1/8 to $11 after announcing it has sold a controlling interest in its Fragrance Counter online subsidiary to a private investment group led by The Sudbury Group for $37.5 million. Sudbury plans to turn the business into "an Internet portal for beauty and well-being."
Oil and gas drilling equipment and machinery manufacturer Varco International (NYSE: VRC) slid $1 7/16 to $10 7/8 after saying the worldwide slowdown in drilling activity due to the ongoing oil supply glut resulted in Q1 EPS of $0.18, down from last year's $0.23 and a penny below the Zacks mean estimate. The company also warned that the full effect of the slowdown on its revenues will not be felt until late this year or early next year.
Critical Path (Nasdaq: CPTH), which provides e-mail hosting services to Internet service providers, Web portals, and corporations, was sent down $18 to $99 3/8 after reporting a Q1 loss of $0.77 per share, down from $0.28 last year. The company also announced four new contracts, including a deal to offer America Online's (NYSE: AOL) business users e-mail outsourcing services.
Programmable logic devices maker Lattice Semiconductor (Nasdaq: LSCC) slipped another $3 5/16 to $42 after falling 23% yesterday following its decision to buy Advanced Micro Devices' (NYSE: AMD) Vantis logic-chip division for $500 million in cash.
Telecommunications, cable, and Internet services provider Log On America (Nasdaq: LOAX) gave back $5 1/4 to $29 3/4 this morning after rising 250% yesterday following its initial public offering of 2.2 million shares at a price of $10 per share.

Technical Abstract: The technology to convert lignocellulosic biomass to biofuels is progressing with parallel efforts to develop processes to recover valuable natural products and generate additional revenue from these associated co-products. The lignified components of plant tissues contain phenolic acid structures such as ferulic and p-coumaric acids that possess bioactive properties and represent potential co-products, e.g., antioxidant and antimicrobial agents. The large-scale separation and recovery of these compounds from biomass prior to the conversion of the cellulosic portion depends upon an economical separation scheme. The objective of this investigation was to identify a membrane material that could separate ferulic acid from an aqueous extract and demonstrate a feasible approach to recover the acid as a co-product in a biomass conversion facility. Dilute aqueous solutions of ferulic acid were prepared and tested with five different types of membrane materials in a screening procedure to test the ability of each membrane to selectivity retain the analyte, ferulic acid. The tested membrane materials included Teflon, Nylon, regenerated cellulose, polyether sulfone (PES), and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). Test solutions of known ferulic acid concentrations were passed through the different membranes. The membrane permeates were collected and analyzed by HPLC-DAD using a C18 column with isocratic methanol as the mobile phase. Column eluents were monitored at 280 nm and UV spectra were collected by scanning under the detected peaks. The results of this study demonstrated that a nylon membrane was able to retain 80% of the ferulic acid present in the aqueous solution as determined by analysis of the membrane permeate. Retention of ferulic acid by the other membrane materials was not significant. The use of a nylon membrane to recover ferulic acid provides an inexpensive separation scheme to obtain ferulic acid as a co-product from an aqueous process stream. Membrane separations are advantageous because they are not capital or energy intensive operations and are environmentally benign.

Who is ne?
He's Nene's half brother.
oh man, I'm wiping my flat screen.
From dreams of Melo to dreams of Wilson Chandler?
You are a Bad Person
Don't worry, KG has a plan to get both. It's like getting the coffee cup and the little plate it sits on. Sent from the new and improved Tapatalk 2.
Signing Wilson Chandler gives us a better shot at winning a NBA title.
I wish I'd have thought of that one..........
Yeah, that was Hilario!
If we're keeping Monroe.......yes!
How do you figure...Monroe has only ACTUALLY BEEN our best player since he got here and he is probably the single most efficient scorer we have. If anyone on this team should be getting paid a high salary, it's Monroe. The thing that baffles me is how he's the first guy mentioned in trade talks.
If it ain't rough,...
He's not an efficient scorer, he's a volume scorer. NBA Stats NBA Stats NBA Stats
He looks more efficient this year- NBA Stats
Iverson was a volume scorer. Monroe is not. Then lion's share of his shots (read: almost ALL) are right at the rim. ...and he's incredibly efficient. 2010-11 - 487 shots from that spot (not even 20 shots from anywhere else) = 59% FG 2011-12 - 648 shots from that spot (not more than 45 from anywhere else) = 55% FG 2012-13 - 842 shots from that spot (not more than 47 from anywhere else) = 53% FG <-- this is +200 attempts (roughly) and only a 2% drop in shots made. That's less than a handful of shots IN TRAFFIC. NO ONE else on this team is even close to that kind of shooting with the exception of Drummond and this is only his 2nd year and we don't give him the ball because he WOULDN'T have these kind numbers if we posted him up and let him go to work on the block.
Monroe shoots a relatively poor % from up close, but he gets a TON of shots from those spots, a lot more than most people. So it helps our overall shooting %.
Hi...my comment was pointed at the 7-8 million left...JD would probably just give to Stuckey. I wasn't making a value judgment on Monroe. I'll judge him when he plays a season with real players.
Monroe is a guy who gets his. He's not going to make a key defensive play. He's not going to crash the defensive boards hard. A guy like him is good, but I am not sure he'd be an automatic lock on some of the better teams in the league.
Monroe has the same eFG as Will Bynum this year (both very good). We have 4 guys with PERs over 19.4, which is pretty ridiculous. Too bad it's not resulting in W's. Drummond 21.8 Monroe 21.1 Jennings 20.5 Bynum 19.5 The only other team in the league that can say that is Portland.
Do we trade Monroe? Do we let him walk? Or do we re-sign him? The only way we can be players in this summers free agent market is let Stuckey and Moose walk. But if they walk, is this summers free agent class good enough to help our team minus Moose and "Good" Stuckey?
Separate names with a comma.

This was purchased from a friend about a year ago. I lifted this truck 12 years ago for another friend, installed a 4" trailmaster lift, running 38" Cepeks. it was used then as a DD. It was sold and sat for a year before I bought it. The truck runs great. The body has been hand sanded, and rattle can primed. The frame is equally in great shape. The frame has been wire brushed and rattle canned black. The interior has been removed and washed. The dash has no cracks, carpet is good,factory rear shelf included,the drivers seat has a small tear in the side(just above the back release lever). The drivers door panel has a tear around the window crank handle. The A/C powers up, but needs Freon.
There was some rust around the bottom of the door panels, these were treated with Rust-mort. There was also a rust spot on the rocker panel of the extracab portion, this was glassed, filled, and primed. No major dents in the body panels.
The bed was removed with intentions of replacement, but I have not had any luck finding a good replacement. I have the origninal bed floor(sides removed). All glass in great shape, no sratches, no fading. Regulators work perfect.
This would be a great vehicle for somebody that has an appreciation for "the holy grail" of toyota's.
I am asking $3500 obo. (Will consider trades also)

i enjoy a 45 way more than a 9mm only thing i enjoy as much for plinking is 38 sp
This is a discussion on Fun Factor on the Range - .45 ACP vs. 9mm within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; In the past couple of weeks I've purchased two new .45s, a Taurus PT-145 and a Springfield Armory Milspec 1911 (stainless). I also own a ...
In the past couple of weeks I've purchased two new .45s, a Taurus PT-145 and a Springfield Armory Milspec 1911 (stainless). I also own a Kahr CW9 and a CZ 40-P.
Since I made these recent purchases, my 9mm just doesn't seem that fun to shoot anymore. Despite the price advantage of 9mm ammo, I much prefer to shoot the .45s and my CZ at the range.
I'm wondering if I picked up a different 9mm - a CZ 75, Beretta 92 or 87 or a Sig - if I will enjoy shooting 9mms as much as the larger calibers. With 9mm ammo approx. 50% less than the larger calibers, I would prefer to primarily shoot a 9mm.
Does anyone else think the same way?
- Beretta 92 fs
- Beretta 8000 Cougar
- Bushmaster M4
- Kahr CW9
- Kel-Tec P3-AT
- Sig 239
- Smith & Wesson M&P 9c
- Smith & Wesson 646 .357 mag
- Springfield Milspec 1911
- Springfield XD-9
- Taurus PT-145
- Walther P22

You may have been infected with the "Big Boom".
I love shooting my .22's and 38/357 Ruger Blackhawk, but when I get the Taurus .40 or the Springer .45's in hand, I could care less about the others.
I have shot several 9mm's, and they just can't compare to my big guns.
I think you're just still in NEW GUN Heaven, LOL.
-SIG , it's What's for Dinner-
know your rights!
"If I walk in the woods, I feel much more comfortable carrying a gun. What if you meet a bear in the woods that's going to attack you? You shoot it."
{Bernhard Goetz}
I have a few different theories on this, it really depends on why your going to the range.
1st off, I will always shoot at least 100 rounds through my carry gun on a range trip. Even if I'm sighting in a new rifle the Kimbers will get thier play. If you carry the .45 shoot the .45, if you carry the 9mm or the .40 shoot them.
Once at the range a guy asked me why I shot my .45 so much, the answer to that of course is if you plan on carrying it you better be able to shoot it and shoot it well, practice with what you'll be carrying when you need it.
2nd. If it's a nice day and the range isn't busy you can shoot all day with a .22 or a 9mm or .38 (Bud is definatley right on that, I love shooting a nice .357 revolver loaded with .38s and not beating the heck out of my hands)
3rd. Usually when I go to shoot (as long as I'm not paying hourly) I'll bring almost everything I have, and shoot a little of each.
Nothing wrong with loking the big boom, as far as will another 9mm make you want to shoot it more....you'll never know till you get another 9mm, what are you waiting for?
For me its more of a platform thing, than caliber. Sigs, 1911s, and my Ruger MK II are my favorites to shoot. I like the 9mm Sigs just as much as the 40s and 45. Might get to shoot a Sig 226 DAK 357 Sig this weekend. So we'll see how it compares.
My take on it is this:
There are several reasons to go to the range (at least for me).
1. Practice - honing your skills for competition or defense.
You'll want as much practice on your carry piece as possible.
2. Fun - Sport shooting
Shooting for fun is certainly in the eye of the beholder as each person defines their own enjoyment. Some people find enjoyment in sitting patiently behind a rifle looking through a scope and putting a full clip through the same hole. Others like the big "BOOM". Each holds it's own satisfaction. 9mm is perfect for rapid fire shooting. It isn't much use for defense, but it is very fun! (at least for me). It is a rush to rip off 15 rounds in about 3 of 4 seconds (I really need to get one of those sound activated timers!) and have a nice 5" group in a target 10 meters away. The 9mm is perfect for this type of shooting. It is easy to blast through 300 rounds in about 15 or 20 minutes though. The 9mm cartridge is a suitable defensive round as well, so you could also find yourself practicing with it.
As to whether you'll find enjoyment in the 9mm again? I really can't say. It depends so much on the individual shooter. As AKsrule pointed out, your probably still in the "fondling the new gun" stage though. Perhaps getting a different platform? Have you thought about a Beretta Cx4 Storm? The last time I was at the gun store, they were in the $600 price range.
Got to agree with gotammo and MNBurl - It's all good!
"To my mind it is wholly irresponsible to go into the world incapable of preventing violence, injury, crime, and death. How feeble is the mindset to accept defenselessness. How unnatural. How cheap. How cowardly. How pathetic." Ted Nugent
I am thinking that you could probably trade the Kahr and the CZ in for a nice Springfield XD45. That would alleviate your problem completely! Loading for one caliber is cheaper than loading for two, three, four... well you get the picture. Welcome to the wonderful world of the 45ACP. Still King after nearly 100 years! Just wanted to keep you on the straight and narrow!
I have the same problem only its 7.62x39 vs all other pistol calibers...

Altoona Loses on Walk Off Wild Pitch
Pribanic pitched seven strong innings tonight, but Altoona couldn't close out the win.
The Altoona Curve went to extra innings for the second night in a row, only this time it was the Richmond Flying Squirrels who came away with a victory, winning by a 3-2 score in 11 innings. Altoona held a 1-0 lead until the eighth inning, when Michael Dubee allowed the tying run to score. The game stayed tied until the 11th, when Jose Hernandez delivered a pinch hit, two out single to bring in Jordy Mercer for the go ahead run. However, the Curve were unable to hold the lead, as Noah Krol had a throwing error to bring in the tying run, and a wild pitch to bring in the winning run for Richmond.
Altoona got a great outing from Aaron Pribanic, who pitched seven innings, allowing three hits, an...

Thomas Jefferson - A Character Sketch
Jefferson as an Inventor
Ellis, Edward S. (A.M.)
"He sometimes figured as an inventor himself, and on that subject let me relate to you an anecdote which vividly portrays the character of his mind. You know that he had perched his country seat on a mountain height, commanding a magnificent prospect, but exposed to the sweep of wintry winds, and not very convenient of access.
"Not far from Monticello, and within the bounds of his estate, was a solitary and lofty hill, so situated as to be exposed to the blast of two currents of wind, coming up through valleys on different sides of it.
"Mr. Jefferson thought this would be an admirable position for a wind-mill; and having recently invented a model for a saw-mill to be moved by vertical sails, he sent for an engineer and submitted it to his judgment. "The man of professional science examined his plan, and listened with profound attention and deference to Mr. Jefferson's explanations of it, and to his eloquent illustration of the advantages it would secure.
"He very attentively heard him through, but made no comment upon the plan.
" 'What do you think of my idea?' said Mr. Jefferson.
" 'I think it is a most ingenious one,' was the reply, 'and decidedly the best plan for a saw-mill I have ever seen.'
"Jefferson was delighted, and forthwith entered into a written agreement for the erection of such a mill on the neighboring height.
"The work went bravely on; the inventor very frequently mounting his horse, and riding over to see how it proceeded.
"When the frame was up, and the building approached its completion, the engineer rode over to Monticello to obtain a supply of money, and to get some directions about the saws.
"Jefferson kept him to dinner; and when the cloth was removed and wine sat upon the table, he turned to his guest, and with an air of much satisfaction, exclaimed,
" 'And so, Mr.——, you like my mill.'
" 'I do, sir, indeed, very much; it is certainly one of the greatest improvements in the construction of saw mills I ever witnessed.'
" 'You think the sails are so hung that it cannot fail to work?'
" 'Certainly; it must work, it cannot help it.'
" 'And there's always a wind upon that hill; if it does not come up one valley, it is sure to come up the other; and the hill is so high and steep that there is nothing to interrupt the full sweep of the wind, come which way it will. You think, then, on the whole, that the thing cannot fail of complete success?'
" 'I should think so, sir, but for one thing.'
" 'Ah! What's that?'
" 'I have been wondering in my own mind, how you are to get up your saw- logs.'
"Jefferson threw up his hands and eyes: 'I never thought of that!'
"The mill was abandoned, of course."

2013 Ford Fusion Start-Stop System Priced at $295
The 2013 Ford Fusion will be the first non-hybrid midsize sedan in America to have Auto Start-Stop technology when it goes on sale this fall. Those that want the fuel-saving technology will have to shell out $295 for it.
The start-stop will be an option, since the American automaker is well aware that not every consumer will want their engine to shut off at every traffic light or when sitting idly in traffic. Offered only on the 1.6L EcoBoost model, Ford estimates that start-stop can improve fuel efficiency by 3.5-percent overall and as much as 10-percent for city drivers.
Over a five year span, that calculates to almost $1,100 in savings at today's fuel prices compared to other midsize competitors. Ford projects the 1.6L EcoBoost-powered Fusion can deliver a projected 36-mpg highway economy; we're unsure if that is with or without the start-stop tech.
"Idling vehicles are consuming energy without doing any work," said Birgit Sorgenfrei, Ford's Auto Start-Stop program manager. "They're also producing exhaust gases in a concentrated space that can contribute to air quality problems like smog."

This is correct. The amount of voltage dropped by a dropping resistor varies in proportion to the amount of current passing through it. This applies to all resistors, whether they are aluminum, ceramic, or anything else. Voltage dropping resistors are only suitable for heater blower motors, and lights.
What I recommend is an electronic voltage reducer. It's a transistor based device that senses and reacts to varying current loads to keep it's output voltage a steady 6 volts.
I have had extremely good luck with the
Ron Francis VR-4
electronic voltage reducer. it's rated for up to 15 amps continuous.
I have installed at least ten of these over the years, and only one has failed - and that one only failed because it got overloaded.
Hope this helps....

New Milken Institute School of Public Health Building is a Promise to the Future
"The building itself is a promise to the future. The promise of light, the promise of movement. But it's what is inside the building that makes the difference— the students of the future and the faculty."
Mike Milken
Chairman, Milken Institute
On May 15, 2014, Dean of Public Health Dr. Lynn R. Goldman, George Washington President Steven Knapp and Board of Trustees Chair Nelson Carbonell joined Michael and Lori Milken, in cutting the ribbons to open the new 115,000-square-foot Milken Institute School of Public Health building.
In the new building, faculty and students will conduct cutting-edge research and strive to find solutions for global health problems. Gifts awarded to the school from the Milken Institute, the Milken Family Foundation and the Sumner M. Redstone Charitable Foundation totaling $80 million—a record-breaking donation to the university—will greatly enhance this mission.
In keeping with the school's targeted focus on disease prevention, the state-of-the-art, open space is designed to not only encourage collaboration, but also to enhance the health of those who learn and work within it.
The dominant location of the elegant staircases—which have a total of 144 steps—is designed to encourage students and faculty to build physical activity into their day, rather than taking the elevators, which are hidden in corners of the building.
Other efforts to reduce health risks and promote healthy habits include standing desks, student lounges and study rooms designed for collaboration and teamwork and exercise laboratories and studios.
"It is so welcoming to students, and I love all of the colors and the sunlight," said Mira Kahn, an M.P.H. student.
Dr. Goldman called the new building a "dream come true" and said it gives the school a magnificent opportunity to train the public health leaders of the future.
"Our students are the backbone of our mission," she said. "We're leaving the next generation with a lot of serious problems to solve. And we also need to leave them with the knowledge and skills and capacity to be able to address those problems."

Greenpeace India is campaigning for climate solutions that will help us develop without damaging the planet. By starting an energy revolution that seizes the opportunity for low carbon and sustainable growth while ensuring quality energy access to millions who are denied it currently, we can deliver on development and protect our natural world for current and future generations.
Everyone knows that climate change is real and happening now. What many people don't know is that we have the solutions in our hands. The world needs:
Ø An energy revolution that lets us quit coal in favour of renewable energy sources like biomass, wind power and solar energy
Ø Protection for our forests, so they can continue to clean our atmosphere.
Ø Responsible IT companies who offer climate solutions, and advocate for good environmental laws.
On these pages you can learn more about the science of climate change, and the impacts it is already causing. You can read our detailed policy briefings and discover that politicians, businesses and people can all be part of the solution.
As I write this, Ministry of Home Affairs have blocked the funds from international supporters for Greenpeace India. But I think now is the time to talk about courage and Greenpeace India.

Wicker furniture
I am trying to figure out the best way to paint some old wicker furniture. It is dark in color (brownish). It is not working out to well.
I tried a a Rustoleum type spray paint but it does not seem to work well. Is there a primer spray I should use first?
I also tried a paintbrush to apply a primer but that was pointless (could not get in the crevices).
There are only 4 pieces to do so its not worth purchasing a spray gun (at least I think).
We painted some wicker furniture for a customer a couple of years ago and it turned out really well. I can't imagine doing it any other way besides airless sprayer. You could rent one for a few hours.
OP, did you clean the furniture before you began spray painting it?
I powerwashed the furniture ... since I only had a couple of pieces, I decided against setting up the sprayer and instead used some Rustoleum spray primer then a spray can for color. I used about 1 can of each per piece.
and what do you mean it's not doing well? is the paint not sticking or is there just an uneven finish? what color are u using to go back over the existing paint?
I powerwashed to clean off dirt and debris. Whatever the original coating was, it was gone some time ago....just weathered wicker to deal with. No issues with the new work ... the primer covered and dried well. The coat of paint went on smooth (used a satin finish, not gloss) and the stuff looks almost new. I figured that it cost about $8/piece based on the two cans of spraypaint. If I had more than 3 pieces to do, I would probably have done it with my spraygun.
So then what is the problem if the primer was fine and the paint went on smooth?
SORRY :huh:... forgot about my original situation with this ...
The problem was not using a primer. In addition, I used what I believe to be an inferior spray paint (krylon?) that did not cover well ... even after three coats!! I tested it later against the Rustoleum product with both being applied to the furniture after the primer ... it still had some showthrough.
My advice is to definately go with a good strong primer, and avoid brands that you do not have good research on ... my initial brand was picked by simply looking at what cap color my wife thought ideal :whistling2:
Thanks for the update!!!
These tips always seemed to help me when I was painting my furniture http://howtofixstuff.blogspot.com/20...-properly.html
Because you power-washed it, I'm going to guess this is outdoor furniture? Buy an aerosol package of primer such as 1-2-3. This has some flexibility to it. Use an acrylic or polyurethane/acrylic finish that will also have flexibility.
I don't like wicker for many reasons. It is difficult to paint and will always look like it needs re-painted.
I rescued butt ugly antique wicker from my grandparent's basement and it became the anchor for a really nice, airy, family room in a California ranch with sit around fireplace and lots of skylights. The set came with a giant sofa even I could curl up on with a book and it had a rocking chair. A nice piece of glass was cut for the table. I had to do some repairs and of course the century old horse hair cushions and pillows got tossed. It had sentimental value too which is never good when approaching restoration of antiques.
As I am known to do when lazy? And not willing to rent an airless? I dragged it to my local body shop and had them prime and paint it. My folks painted more things for me than ever cars! They loved the projects and variety too. They got tired of my tiny British sports car restoration projects in boring British milk white and Green. Candy Apple Bugs and TR-6 chick hippy mobiles were another matter.
When I left California hoping it will fall into the Ocean any day now, I gave it all to a friend, an interior designer, and she sold it all for around $14,000. Even I was shocked. She had offered me $8,000 for it a couple years earlier and before I finished it. Don't be too quick to diss wicker if it is real, old, and restored. The Pier One type crap? Forget it.
And by the way, don't be so bold with finishing other antiques. Sometimes you destroy their value the more you touch them.

That's all very nice Fred, and we thank you for the explanation. But my
question (not for you, but for the Mathematica people who might be reading this
group to find out what users think of their product) is:
Where is this discussed in the Documentation?
I have a book 4 inches (100 mm) thick, that I paid for _in_addition_ to paying
for Mathematica, and neither it nor the on-line documentatoin even attempts to
explain anything like this.
If someone asks me what I think of the product, I'd say "Well, if your users
have advanced degrees, they mght be able to figure out how to use it. But not
ordinary people."

You seem to have misunderstood.
My point was that percentage based loses (regardless of drivetrain) don't mean crap BECAUSE crank horsepower is stated without much correlation to standard percentage losses based on the drivetrain.
Some companies will underrate their cars, others will overrate them (based on chp). So using blanket-statistic losses based on a certain type of drivetrain isn't nearly as accurate as it once was. The cars I mentioned are simply examples of this.
Just call me Clark Kent
Offical Body Guard for the Bugeye Mafia.
Percentage of loss was based on correlative numbers BETWEEN chp and whp.... it has to do with chp not meaning a whole lot now in terms of indentifying/calculating actual whp (particularly in regard to assumed percentages of drivetrain loss [percentages provided by rr1911])
I am offended that you would think I am that stupid
Just call me Clark Kent
Offical Body Guard for the Bugeye Mafia.
Realistically G37 has 15% drive train loss. However, the whole issue is that they have overrated the car. The 2007 + 350Z gets easily 270 - 275 whp, which is the equivalent of 11% loss.
My 350z is a 2005 and has the 287hp/274tq engine. A coworker of mine has a G35 with the 300hp/260tq engine. We've traded keys and gone for drives, we both agree my car is faster down low. His is faster up high. Though for real world driving, mine will pull on his all day long. Once you start exceeding the speed limit, then his car has the advantage.
I'm sure the extra weight of his car doesn't help. I've got the stock 17"s and I believe he's on the stock 19"s.

NEW ORLEANS -- Let's see how lucky these jerseys are. Can they help Louisville knock off the tournament's top team?
Since the Cards started wearing their new adidas adizero basketball uniforms, they haven't lost. They won the Big East championship with the neon jerseys, and they're on an eight-game winning streak.
PHOTOS: Several teams get new look for big dance
Saturday night, that streak -- and the neon red uniforms -- will be put to the test in front of a large national audience. The uniforms have divided fans -- some hate the non-traditional color scheme, while others think (like Oregon with its football uniforms) that they're simply cool-looking.
"We're in the Final Four with the infrared jerseys, so if anybody has any problems, I think they need to chop that up," Louisville guard Peyton Siva said Thursday. "It might be Louisville's new colors. If we win the whole thing, it might be the uniforms next year."
Coach Rick Pitino wasn't a huge fan initially, like some of the players (including Siva) were.
"Coach P doesn't really like change," Siva said. "But the players loved them, we talked coach into wearing them and we won the first game, so we had to keep wearing them. Hopefully we're going to get Coach P into an infrared tie pretty soon."

Toccoa Native Wants to Create Community Memorial
A Toccoa native wants to create a community memorial site across the street from the Toccoa-Stephens County Boys and Girls Club on Whitman Street in Toccoa.
Roy Mayfield presented his idea to Toccoa City Commissioners on Monday.
He said he would like to utilize city-owned property right across the street from the Boys' and Girls' Club that is currently a vacant lot.
"I want to do that for some of the historic people that lived here and finished school here (at the Whitman Street school)," said Mayfield.
The site would also have additional parking that could be utilized by the Boys and Girls Club.
Toccoa City Manager Billy Morse said that the lot was originally obtained by the city for the purposes of creating a parking lot
The property has also been used as a community garden in the past.
Mayfield said if the city would be willing to do work on the curb and sidewalks and such, private individuals would work on the memorial itself.
City commissioners voted unanimously to remand the issue to staff to collect more information and bring that back to the commission next month for more discussion.

I left the Veilstone Gym, and saw Dawn outside. She said she needed help getting her Pokedex back from some Galactic grunts. I healed and went to the warehouse, where Dawn and I teamed up to fight two Galactics. It was a *really* annoying battle. The foe's Dustox kept spamming Protect over and over and Dawn's Clefairy was pretty useless.
After finally winning the battle, I went inside the warehouse and found the Hm for Fly. I taught it to Staravia. I then headed south and began to travel towards Pastoria.

I decided to start another monotype runthrough on Platinum since I am doing a runthrough in Johto. It will be a Steel Monotype.
I started off the adventure with my rival barging into my room and telling me to meet him outside. I headed there but he forgot something in his room. We arrived at Route 201 and he was about to run in the tall grass but Professor Rowan stopped him. Later he offered us some Pokemon and I chose Piplup. I battled my rival's Turtwig (I won with 1HP left) and then went back home. Later my rival decided to go to the lake but a weird man was there so we left (I like to think they left because of the creepy older gentlemen). I headed to Sandgem Town and recieved a Pokedex from Professor Rowan. I went back home and told my mom and also recieved a Parcel for my rival. I went back to Sandgem and learned how to use Pokeballs thanks to Dawn. I saved at that point. Piplup is at Lv10.
Current Team
I was travelling along the route leading towards Lake Valor. I visited the Ruin Maniac Cave and battled many trainers. I eventually reached the Valor Lakefront, and began searching for wild Pokemon in the grass. After a while, I encountered a Girafarig. It took a couple of balls, but I caught it and added it to my team.
Then, I levelled up my Buneary against wild Pokemon...and it evolved! I then headed towards the restaurant and saved.
>>// \\<<
I made my way up to Jubilife City and defeated the trainers on Route 202. When I arrived in the city Dawn and I witnessed a strange man running behind some lampposts. Turns out he is Looker, and he is on the lookout for mysterious people. I headed to the School nearby and gave my rival his Parcel. Then I found 3 clowns and recieved a Poketch for finding them and getting a coupon. I explored a little more and then headed to Route 203 and had a battle with my rival. He was actually pretty easy since all his Turtwig did was use Harden. I skipped every trainer on Route 203 and in the Oreburgh Gate and arrived in Oreburgh City. Roark, the gym leader, was not at the gym though but rather he was at the mines. I headed there and began to train Piplup while I searched for my next team member. Eventually I found an Onix, and that little bugger was difficult to catch. I ended up having to encounter 4 Onix before one finally decided to let me capture it. I returned to Jubilife to begin training for the upcoming gym battle with Onix at Lv9 and Piplup at Lv15.

Can anyone give me a type for my new Soul Silver challenge? I'll use scramble and nuzlocke rule as well.
Please don't give me types that don't have a lot of Pokemons please.
Flying type is good. Ground will get you a good amount of possibilities too and Water is another possibility.
Spoiler:- Reponses:
Here goes my Nuzlocke Water Monotype!
- Pokemon faints = Box 13 (Pokemon Hell)
- Only catch first water Pokemon found in each area. If it faints, can't catch any Pokemon in that area.
- No duplicate captures.
- Nickname every Pokemon.
- Battle style on SET.
- Legends may be caught but may not be used.
- Only use Water-Type Pokemons.
- After winning all the 16 badges, beating the E4 twice and defeating Red, the challenge is over.

I decided to fight the trainers in the Seven Stars Restaurant in order to level up my Clefairy and my new Girafarig. After fighting all the trainers, both of them had gained a couple of levels. I exited the restaurant, then headed south to the Hotel Grand Lake reception building, where I healed my team.
Then, I continued to travel along Route 213. I explored it thoroughly and partook in many trainer battles. I then visited Dr. Footstep's house, where my Clefairy received the Footprint Ribbon.
Eventually, I reached Pastoria City. The first thing I did was go to the Great Marsh because I wanted to pick up all the items there. I also wanted to get the Defog HM in case I forgot about it later.
>>// \\<<
I headed to Route 204 and defeated the few trainers there with Onix before heading to Route 203 and doing the same thing. I went through Oreburgh Gate and defeated the two trainers there before returning to the mines. I used Piplup against the trainers inside the mines and after the first battle it evolved into Prinplup! Roark was there destroying rocks but he did go back to the gym. I went there and defeated both gym trainers with Prinplup. When I battled Roark I just spammed Bubble until all three of his Pokemon were defeated. I got the badge and headed back to Jubilife City.
I found Professor Rowan being harassed by Team Galactic so Dawn and I teamed up to defeat them. I continued along Route 204 soon after and after some trainer battles I arrived in Floaroma Town. A little girl east of the town wanted me to help her father but I soon realized he was being held hostage by Team Galactic. I beat a few members near the Valley Windworks and in the Floaroma Meadow. I also received some Honey from a man at the Floaroma Meadow so I spread it on two trees. After 6 hours I checked the results. The first tree had a Cherubi and the second had the Pokemon I was searching for...Burmy! I captured the female Burmy and decided to take a break before training it.

I went past Ilex Forest. I took my time to train Queen a little bit over there. She didn't level up too much because they don't give a lot of experience points. I'm now on Route 34. I should arrive at Goldenrod City really soon!

I headed to the Valley Windworks and took on Team Galactic while training my Burmy. The battle with Mars was pretty easy. Onix beat her Zubat with Rock Throw and Prinplup just spammed Bubblebeam until Purugly fainted. I headed north and defeated all of the trainers along the way to the Eterna Forest. When I went in the forest a woman named Cheryl joined me for a little while. I used her to level up my team a bit. Eventually we made it through the forest so I headed straight to the Eterna Gym. I battled the first trainer and right after the battle Burmy evolved into Wormadam! And since I was in a building it evolved into the Trash form of it. I left the gym and went towards Mt Coronet. I was stopped though by my rival who showed me the Dragon Statue in town. I then went to Mt Coronet and captured two new team members, Bronzor and Nosepass. I went back west of Eterna to train up my team.

On Route 34, Queen and Mickey trained together. They worked as a team to beat the trainers and now, we're currently training Queen so she can become stronger. We want her to be able to face the Gym Leader too!

I continued my challenge today by taking on the Pastoria Gym. I took on all the trainers there using Girafarig, who really needed the experience. After I defeated all the trainers, I left to go heal in the Pokemon Centre.
Once my team was at full health, I went back to the Gym and made my way to Crasher Wake. He started with Gyarados and I still had Girafarig out front. I started by using Agility, and then Baton Passed the Speed boost to my Clefairy. I used Shock Wave and got Gyarados to yellow health, but then Gyarados used Swagger on me. Fortunately, I was able to heal my confusion and finish it off.
Quagsire came out next, which Clefairy easily disposed of with Magical Leaf. Floatzel was Crasher Wake's last Pokemon. I tried to put it to sleep using Sing, but it kept on missing. Wasting many turns using Sing allowed Floatzel to KO Clefairy. I sent out Lopunny, who 2HKOed Floatzel with Strength.
I won the battle and received the Fen Badge and the TM for Brine.

Seeing as I'm doing a 'Hit Me With Your Best Shot!' challeng on Black, and a 'Scramble' on Heart Gold, I thought I may aswell go for a Normal type Monotype on Platinum. So, I deleted my old save, and began my new journey. I decided to be a female character for this run through, and named her Rose. My friend I named Rob. Professor Rowan introduced me to the wonderful world of Pokémon (again), and then watched as I shrank to game size.
My journey bagan with a television report on Professor Rowan. When the program ended, I went towards the stairs, but Rob came barreling up, jabbering about asking Professor Rowan for a Pokémon. I went downstairs, Mom telling me Rob left, ya-da ya-da. I went to his house and found him crashing into me. He ran off, but quickly went back inside. I followed him, only to have him run out again. Brilliant. So, I headed to Route 201, and was about to run through the grass when some old geezer appeared and ruined our fun. But he gave me a Pokémon so I forgave him. I chose Piplup so Rob wouldn't have a starter that resists normal, or has a super effective STAB. Rob then challenged me to a battle, which I lost.
No not really. I won after spamming Tackle in true 'first battle' style. After the battle, I returned home and told my Mom what happened, and she gave me some new trainers. I then went back to Route 201, met Rob, and we wen't to Lake Verity to catch a Legendary Pokémon. Great idea, hm? Once we got there, some creepy guy called Cyrus spoke to himself. When we discovered we had no Pokéballs, we decided to go to Sandgem to see Prof. Rowan. On the way, I ran from every Pokémon as I had no need to train Piplup. I arrived in Sandgem, and Lucas showed me to the lab. Inside, Rowan gave me a Pokédex and told me to see every single 'Mon out there. Wooo. Outside, he gave me a TM, then Lucas showed me round. I went to the Mart and bought a load of Pokéballs! Then I went back onto Route 201 and caught my first two Pokémon, a female Bidoof, and a female Starly, both at level 3!
I healed up at the Centre, then went back to Route 201 to train my new Pokémon. After, I saved infront of Route 202 and finished for the day.

(My next post wont have quite as much detail, I was bored...)
been gone for like two years but I'm back and better than ever
We're still training near Goldenrod City. Queen is really making progress! She leveled a few time by training on Route 34 and by defeating all the gym trainers. We're a little bit scary about challenging the gym, we heard she's really tough! I think we'll get everybody to about level 30 first. (Don't forget, we're playing with Nuzlocke rules as well.) We'll pass the night in Goldenrod and tomorrow, back to training!

After I left the Gym, I went to the Pokemon Centre to heal my team. I then left and heaed towards the entrance to the Great Marsh. There I talked to a Galactic grunt. He ran off, so I began to follow him. I caught up with him near the exit of the city, where he ran off again. As I was about to leave Pastoria, my rival showed up and challenged me.
The battle was extremely easy. My rival's Pokemon were underlevelled compared to my team, so I was able to defeat his entire team with Girafarig. Once the battle was finished, he left and I was able to finally leave the city.
I continued to chase the grunt around, until we were right near Lake Valor, where he decided to challenge me. He sent out a Glameow, which was a little annoying because it knew Hypnosis. However, it was not that hard of a fight.
After that, I ran into Cynthia. She gave me the Secret Potion to heal the Psyducks blocking the route above Solaceon Town. I did go to Solaceon Town next, but not to heal the Psyducks yet. Instead I evolved my Happiny into a Chansey, then put it in the daycare with a Pachirisu I caught. I wanted to breed for another Chansey to use on my team because mine had a -sp. defense Nature. Eventually, I got a Chansey with a pretty good Nature and I`m using it on my team.
>>// \\<<
The first thing I did when leveling up was to get Nosepass close to evolving and then head back to Mt Coronet and level it up there so it could evolve into Probopass. Which it did. Then I just spent some time leveling up Probopass and Bronzor against the various wild Pokemon and trainers around Eterna City. Eventually I decided to finally take on the gym. I attempted to use Bronzor against the trainers due to their Poison types. When the remaining trainers were defeated I healed up and took on Gardenia. I thought she would be using Cherrim first but instead she used Turtwig which managed to knock out my Probopass but Wormadam finished it off with a Big Bite. She then used Cherrim and I tried out Onix but it fainted quickly to so I had Wormadam use Bug Bite to take out Cherrim. Lastly was Roserade so I used Bronzor but due to a Stun Spore causing me to barely hit I had to use Prinplup once Bronzor fainted. Unfortunately Prinplup fainted to a critical hit Grass Knot. Wormadam came in and used Bug Bite to knock it out (Take that Wormadam doubters!). I got the badge and left the gym.
I headed to the Galactic Hideout in Eterna and used the trainers as experience for Probopass and Bronzor since they are still a little bit weaker than everyone else. When all was said and done I took on Jupiter. She used Zubat but it fell to Bronzor's Confusion attack. Next was Skuntank so I tried out both Prinplup and Probopass but both fell to Night Slash so I had Onix take out what little HP it had left. I recieved a bicycle for my troubles and then took a break.

I continued my Normal Monotype today. Heading onto route 202, Lucas showed me how to catch a Pokémon (can he not tell I already caught some?), then I headed onwards. I used Starly to take down the first trainer, and he was quickly defeated with a few Quick Attacks. I quicly got through the rest of the trainers and entered Jubilife City. Starly leveled up twice in the route, and Bidoof... didn't, but he'll get there. In Jubilife, I met Looker first. After he finished, I went to the trainer school. Inside, I spoke to Rob, then battled the trainers. His Starly almost proved difficult for Bidoof, but she pulled through, and leveled up! In the second battle, I had to switch to Starly as I'd forgotten to pack some potions -_- Starly did her thing, and won the battle. THEN I get my potion. I headed to the PC to heal my Poké's, then proceded to collect the vouchers off some clowns. After finally recieving my Pokétch, I had a final look around Jubilife, got all the items, then proceded to Route 203. Rob appeared and challenged me. Bidoof defeated Starly after a long battle, and then he sent out Turtwig, so I switched to my own Starly. After another lengthy battle, Turtwig lay defeated, and Starly grew another level to learn Wing Attack! After briefly returning to Jubilife to heal up, I continued along Route 203, battling trainers, gaining levels and collecting items. In Orebrough Gate, I recieved Rock Smash and taught it to Bidoof. Once I was in Orebrough City, I saved my game and switched off for the moment.
Current Team:

been gone for like two years but I'm back and better than ever
Spoiler:- Aura Guardian Zach:
Queen is really making progress. We have beaten almost all the trainers on Route 35 and the ones under Goldenrod City. She's really eager to battle the gym! We're doing some more training now on Route 35, she should be ready really soon!
We defeated all the trainers in Route 35 and in the National Park. We're now in shape for the Gym Battle, here we go!
We've defeated the gym leader in a exciting way! Queen almost left her life in this battle. Lucky, a critical hit came to help us from Mickey's Ice Fang!
Here we go to the next town!
We defeated everything in our way until Ecruteak City. Nothing stopped us! Mickey evolved and by himself and his Crunch attack, he defeated the gym really easily! Good job Mickey, I'm proud of you.

Thinking of restarting Platinum to do a monotype challenge: any idea what type i should do?
I was thinking Steel, as I could use a starter (Empoleon), but i'm not sure when I'd get my next pokemon.
Final team could be:
What do you guys think?
Current HG/SS Team:
I actually think you should do a Ground team. You could have:
Just a suggestion, but your Steel team, looks pretty good, but to it add Scizor since you only have 5 there.
You should later put a Gyarados on your team, you might have already thought of doing that, but just suggesting.

You can also follow the status of my adventure on my new blog! It's in my signature.

I didn't really plan what my team will look like at the end and I don't really want to compelte my six Pokemons too early because I still have the Kanto region to explore.
I tried catching a Magikarp, but I keep on failing. Don't forget that I'm on a Nuzlocke. I only got one shot to capture the Pokemon in each place I go.
While still in Ecruteak City, I went fishing at the little pond. That's where we found our new buddy, Jagger! He's pretty new to the team but I'm sure he'll be great!
We went back on Route 32 for some training and we bumped into Raikou! We wanted to prove our strengths against him but as soon as Jagger sent him to sleep, he vanished. I still wonder how he did.
We're now travelling and beating every Pokemon to get Jagger stronger!

"Great recipe! I was looking for a recipe for breaded fish that I could fry on the stove. I am glad it called for using a cast iron skillet. I used this recipe to fry cod, and everyone really enjoyed it. Thanks for such a good recipe!"
