I specialize in Conan Doyle, Bram Stoker and the war artist and traveller, Lady Butler. 2012 marked the centenary of Stoker's death and in April 2012 I convened the Bram Stoker Centenary Conference to mark the event. This was the largest international conference on Stoker to date and took place at the University of Hull and at Whitby, and was supported by the British Academy. On 8 November 2012 I organised the inaugural Bram Stoker Birthday Symposium at the University of Hull and the Bram Stoker Birthday Lectures (2012, 2013, 2014). In September 2013 I convened Visions of Egypt: Literature and Culture from the Nineteenth Century to the Present, an international and interdisciplinary conference which took place at Hull's History Centre and the University of Hull.

1. The start page of O&O CleverCache displays the memory and cache statistics, status of the processor load, the access frequency to the main memory, the system cache and the hard disk.
2. This graph schematically shows the solution to the cache problem with O&O CleverCache. The lines represent the course of available main memory with (green) and without (red) O&O CleverCache while loading a large file. The situation shown corresponds to the application of video editing programs. It is clear that the load on the main memory is higher on a system without O&O CleverCache than on a system using O&O CleverCache, which will maintain the level of file cache to a certain average value. The resources saved will then be available for other programs, and thus prevent the so called �swapping� and its consequences - slowing down the entire system.
3. The memory and cache statistic allows you to follow the distribution of the memory. O&O CleverCache informs you on the current use of the memory and it�s availability in megabytes and percentages.
4. In this area, it is also possible to see the highest size of file cache allowed, as well as their current use.
5. The load of the processor and the chronological sequence is measured and displayed graphically in this area. On the O&O CleverCache start page (Control Center) you can see a small display for a general overview; a more detailed version can be viewed under processor in the Ribbon Bar. The legend explains the units. Statistical values like the average, maximum or the minimum can be found below the graphic.
6. Mem-o-Free offers you the possibility of controlling the amount of main memory available during the operation of Windows. If this amount of free space falls below a certain preset border value, Mem-o-Free will be enabled and releases additional memory by forcing Windows to swap data not in use.
7. O&O CleverCache offers an option to reduce the risk of a possible data loss with Mem-O-Safe. It allows users to manually set the update interval of the Windows file cache.
8. You can also set your own settings in the user profiles. This enables you to load specific cache settings, e.g. for video editing program or games, at just the right moment.
9. List of the created and predefined (O&O AutoSense) profiles.

did not ship to the States with the same menu that violates Apple's patent. Nope. The Taiwan based manufacturer played a real life version of chess and was thinking two steps ahead when it loaded a work around into the U.S. bound HTC EVO 4G LTE and HTC One X models. Now when a U.S. user of either model clicks on a link, the appropriate app is launched which gives users less flexibility, but also keeps Apple's attorneys away. And if the user wants to use a different app, he can click on "Settings" and then "App Associations" to make a selection.
So this should clear everything up and lead to the instant release of all of those poor smartphones cooling their heels at Customs, right? Well, Apple could claim that the work around still infringes on its patent. If HTC's work around is sufficient, well, we see no reason why the phones couldn't hit the States by Friday.

Dear Alice,
There seems to be no advice or information on the subject of alcohol poisoning that I can find on your web site. Recently I had a very bad experience that I think must have involved alcohol poisoning, and would like to have some information on the causes and signs of alcohol poisoning. Does beer before liquor have anything to do with it?
Traumatized drinker
Dear Traumatized drinker,
Since you didn't describe what happened to you exactly, it's hard to determine if you did experience alcohol poisoning or not; but you're right, it needs to be discussed. Understanding the risks involved with over-drinking and the guidelines for avoiding them is a skill everyone can use (even if it's just to help a friend).
Alcohol poisoning occurs when a large amount of alcohol is consumed, usually over a short period of time. The human body can process one to one and a half ounces (oz.) of alcohol an hour, the amount contained in a single standard drink — a twelve oz. bottle or can of beer, a five oz. glass of wine, or one mixed drink. Keep in mind that many mixed drinks and alcoholic punches contain far more liquor depending on the type of drink and the person doing the mixing.
Alcohol is a depressant, and, in large amounts, dulls the nerves that regulate one's breathing, heartbeat, and gag reflex. The gag reflex is what is responsible for allowing our bodies to vomit — to get rid of extra alcohol that it cannot process. Sometimes, however, because this reflex is unable to work properly, our systems continue to absorb the excess alcohol. In severe cases, this can cause alcohol poisoning — a condition that usually involves the following symptoms:
- The person is asleep and cannot be woken up — meaning, they are unconscious.
- Breathing is less than twelve times per minute, or breathing stops altogether for periods of longer than ten seconds.
- Skin or lips are cold, clammy, and pale or bluish in color.
Call 911 immediately if the any of the above signs are present. If you are with someone who is experiencing alcohol poisoning, gently prop them up on their side while waiting for an ambulance; this will prevent them from choking if they begin to vomit while unconscious.
Anytime a person has been drinking excessively, they need to be watched very carefully for danger signs that they could be at risk for alcohol poisoning or other medical emergencies. These might include:
- Slurred speech
- Difficulty walking or standing up
- Erratic behavior
- Inability to make eye contact or sustain a conversation
- Feeling very ill, including prolonged vomiting
A person with alcohol poisoning, or experiencing any kind of alcohol or other drug emergency, requires attention from medical professionals. Alcohol poisoning is serious, and can be fatal.
In your question, you bring up the very common idea that mixing certain alcoholic beverages will make you more drunk or sick. Your example is beer before liquor, but just about everyone has a favorite anecdote about mixing drinks or eating "the wrong" foods right before drinking. The truth is that mixing alcoholic beverages won't make one more or less drunk; the only thing that matters is the amount of alcohol consumed in a specific time frame. It is possible, however, that certain mixtures of alcohol, and the various ingredients those beverages contain, may upset some individuals' stomachs. The best things to do are to pay attention to your own reactions and limits and keep these in mind when drinking.
As for avoiding both unpleasant drunkenness and more serious alcohol poisoning, it might be handy to recap some advice given in another Go Ask Alice! answer, Hangover helper and tips for healthy drinking:
- Drink slowly.
- Sip rather than gulp drinks.
- Dilute drinks.
- Avoid shots.
- Alternate alcoholic with non-alcoholic beverages.
- Eat a substantial meal before drinking.
One last note: in case your "very bad experience" involved blackouts — periods of time after you started drinking that you don't remember at all — you might want to take a look at some of the related Q&As for more information. Blackouts are often a sign that your drinking deserves some attention, even if the quantity you consume doesn't seem excessive. In fact, they appear to be an early sign of alcoholism, especially in those with a family history.
Be safe,Alice!

After UC's impressive win over Seton Hall and 2 Big East wins, they are now in first place in the hoops mega-conference. And that should now get them in the top 25 and a little more. UC has just won 14 straight games, and, along the way beat Dayton who always plays them tough; beat Oklahoma on the road, DePaul and now Seton Hall at home. Say what you want about them not playing anyone but they are winning by margins that top ranked teams win by and that's double digits.
I know people say they haven't played anybody but now that they're in the Big East and they have held serve, so give them some love; and with Xavier up next this will be the next "real" test. Xaiver and UC's records are irrelevant when they play because the rivalry fuels competition. So this is the final test of nay sayers, when they play the Musketeers, so let the wins fall where they may based on the outcome of effort not the game.
14 should get you 25 and 15 in a row should get you votes for the top 20. Through it all the one saving grace about college basketball is that in the end you play the Big East tournament and the NCAA tournament. We know they'll play in the first one and at this point they're certainly worthy of playing in the second one. You play the teams on your schedule and you beat them the way you're supposed to. The Bearcats have done that and you have to respect that, even if you're a hater.
So up next are Xavier and the Skyline Chili Crosstown Shootout; and up next should be their position in the polls; regardless of the score, effort notwithstanding.
That's the way I see it, sitting in The Box Seat...

FWD Chevy Smallblock???
Ok, here is my situation. I am building a dunebuggy, and I have a strong desire to put a 350/383 stroker into it. I dont like the Front-engine design, SO I am going with a rear or mid engine layout. I need a manual transmission that I can connect some how to the engine, but the transmission needs to have output shafts on the sides for the independent wheels, as in a FWD or even an AWD setup. Is there any tranny I could possibly make work? I have looked into using a normal trans and then connecting it to an independent rear suspension diff, but the whole setup is just too long to fit. Oh, and to complicate things, the motor puts out about 400-450 horsepower. Please help.
Have you looked into an old '66 Corvair Trans axle ? They used passenger car 4 speeds ( Muncie or Saginaw) mated to an axle with IRS. Mid-engine SBC/Corvair's were fairly popular back in the day with the Kelmark and Crown kits being the most popular. I'm sure there are still some floating around out there if you really look.
Or how about the Fiero setup ? Mounts the engine sideways and I've seen a couple with 406's in them in magazines and they claim the trans can handle it. Of course you couldn't put much tire under them so there wasn't much stress put on the transaxle setup.

Oldsmobile Toronado and Cadillac Eldorado trans axle. Automatic, but will handle the power easily. Small block should bolt up to mid 1980s and later models. Older ones will need an adapter, but they are available. 1990s Sevilles and Eldorados used a sideways mounted V-8, the 4100 or 4500. Not sure if they use the SBC bolt pattern or not, but I think they do.
I'm gonna say this just one time.... Porshe. Those transaxles are expensive as hell but they hold up under SBC pretty good. Do a search for some conversion info. There are a couple of companies that offer adapter plates and advice.
66-69 Corvair with FULLY synchronized Saginaw 4-speed. 65 & earlier won't work. The Crown & Kelmark conversions were mid-engine. Clark's had the remaining Crown set-ups, last I heard. They are at www.corvair.com
For Porsche, try www.kennedyeng.com

A turbo'd LT-1 motor was hooked to a T-325 transaxle in a sand rail in our shop a few months ago.
You can use TransGo valve body parts and a Super servo for 2nd gear that fits a 200/200R4 tranny. Shim the servo up and use the accumilator springs in it too.
He was tearing up 2nd gear till we installed the servo and boost springs , etc.
Dont worry how old you are... it is the mileage on your body that adds up.
getrag 282/284, i'm not sure which. 5spd fwd manual, fiero guys use it when they swap in small blocks.
When I see a V8 in a Dune Buggy its always mated to a VW transaxle via an adapter.
Just search for sbc vw adapter or something similar.
V8 to VW/Porsche adapters
Beware, a V8 will destroy a stock VW tranny. They were designed for maybe 75 lb/ft of torque.
[ June 02, 2003: Message edited by: jimfulco ]

i wouldn't use the vw transaxle because my friend has a 66 bug with only a 1.9 litre and it ripped through his tranny in 6 days. sounds like an awesome project. maybe a cadillac northstar setup?
Mid-engine trans-axles
Two inquires recently for a mid-engine trans-axle compelled me to respond . Aesthetic Design Engineering LLC in Redondo Beach California builds mid-engine trans-axles with a Quick-Change differential section that can withstand up to 850hp in manual and 1000hp with a automatic configuration . ADELLC offers a kit for the late model Corvair not unlike the old Crown conversion . The ADELLC kit includes a sub-frame and complete coil-over rear suspension . Their prototype car they call the SuperVair has a 506cui Brodex Big Block in it which regularly aspirated is supposed to make 650hp on pump gas ...
Contact these guys
click here They carry the Xmsns that are needed for mid engine installs..
look at these guys as well..very educational..Look here
They design those thngs in sizes suitalbe fro big blocks..Kinda spendy but worth it if they fit the bill for what you need..
I have tried most all of it and now do what is known to work..

By M.D. Kittle/Wisconsin Reporter
MADISON – Eric Hovde's campaign is outing a gay-rights group for labeling him a Democrat.
Madison-based Fair Wisconsin admits that a recent poll about Wisconsin's U.S. Senate race contained a huge error.
The poll asked respondents across the state whether they would vote for Republican Tommy Thompson or Democrat Eric Hovde.
One problem: Hovde, a Madison developer and hedge fund manager, is a Republican running against Thompson in a primary field of candidates trying to out-conservative each other.
Fair Wisconsin told Wisconsin Reporter that the error wasn't intentional, and that its contracted pollster, Mountain West Research in Utah, made the mistake.
The Hovde campaign cried foul, suggesting it was a hit job on a candidate whom polls show could fare well against Tammy Baldwin, long-time 2nd District congresswoman and the Democrats' candidate for the Senate seat.
Fair Wisconsin has endorsed Baldwin, an openly gay member of Congress.
"I think this group is making a concerted effort to mislead Republican voters," Hovde campaign spokesman Sean Lansing told Wisconsin Reporter.
"It is no secret that Tammy Baldwin and the Democrats don't want to face Eric in November and this disingenuous poll is more proof," Lansing said in a release blasting the poll.
Fair Wisconsin reiterated that the misidentification of Hovde's party affiliation was due to human error.
"The misidentification of one of the candidates was a serious, but completely unintentional mistake. We have taken appropriate action with the vendor and the mistake has been corrected," Katie Belanger, executive Director of Fair Wisconsin said in a statement issued to Wisconsin Reporter.
A spokesperson from Mountain West Research did not immediately return a phone call from Wisconsin Reporter.
Thompson, once seen as the front-runner in the four-man GOP field, has slipped in polls in recent weeks, while Hovde and former 1st District Congressman Mark Neumann have been on the ascendant.
In this week's Public Policy Polling survey shows Hovde leading, at 28 percent, followed by Thompson and Neumann tied at 25 percent.
The candidates are running in a statistical dead heat, well within the 4.9 percentage point margin of error, according to the liberal-leaning PPP's poll of 400 likely Republican primary voters.
State Rep. Jeff Fitzgerald, R-Horicon, who presided over Gov. Scott Walker's conservative agenda as speaker of the Assembly, is running a distant fourth.
In a race marred by mud from all three of the leading GOP candidates, the question is – will the Thompson and Neumann camps seize on the polling error, publicized by Hovde's campaign.
Both candidates have tried to paint Hovde as less than conservative, attacking him for comments he made on federal stimulus spending and tax policy, and his holding's receipt of federal money.
You can hear the big, booming campaign ad voice now: Maybe Fair Wisconsin had Eric Hovde pegged. Maybe Hovde is more Democrat than he'd like to think. Cue the sinister-sounding music and video of Hovde on some TV show three years ago.
"Given the nature of this campaign and the kind of course it has taken with all of the false attacks leveled against us … I wouldn't put anything past them," Lansing said of the rival campaigns when asked if the Hovde campaign's drawing attention to the polling error could come back to bite.
Hovde hasn't gotten too much traction of late, according to PPP.
"Hovde remains the unexpected leader in this contest but his momentum has stalled a good bit over the last month," PPP said in its release. Hovde's polling numbers and his favorability rating have fallen in recent weeks.
Some of Thompson's biggest supporters, the Dairy Business Association and the Wisconsin Corn Growers Association voiced their "outrage" Friday over Hovde's improper classification of developed property as farmland a decade ago. Doing so lowered Hovde Realty's property taxes. The Hovde family's real estate company eventually settled a city of Madison lawsuit for $22,500.
"Hovde broke the rules and when caught, he went to court and tried unsuccessfully to get the entire law thrown out," Laurie Fischer, executive director of the Dairy Business Association of Wisconsin, said in a press release.
"The Wisconsin agricultural community relies on the farmland classification for property to help it remain competitive," Fischer said. "Hovde's attempt to overturn the law would have dramatically increased taxes on Wisconsin farmers in an effort to save him a $22,000 penalty."
Lansing said there's nothing malicious in what Hovde did.
"Eric fought City Hall over a tax structure that multiple businesses think was unfair. That was the extent of it," the campaign spokesman said.
Thompson, as governor, pushed for the changes in farmland valuation, that changed the taxable value of farmland from its potential development use to its use for agricultural-related income.
It saved Wisconsin farmers a lot of cash.

The history of the nation of Pakistan is one in which each blunder is followed by another blunder. Instead of remaining part of India and attempting to forget a nation in which two religions work together, its leaders opted for independence. It subsequently fought three wars with India which were lost as well as witnessing the loss of what eventually became Bangladesh. Pakistan has well educated people, many of whom eventually lose hope and migrate elsewhere in order to find economic success. The Pakistan military is more concerned over the next war with India than confronting religious fundamentalists whose dream is a nation ruled by the religious right. The military absorbs a large percentage of the national budget leaving too little for economic development, let alone a modern school system. In the meantime, religious groups dominate education and produce a generation which could read the Koran, but lack academic skills leading to a modern society.
The death of Osama bin Laden in side Pakistan humiliated the military. The Pakistan army refuses to fight militants, it prefers building more atomic bombs for a war that can never be fought. The government fears the military and the military fears the US more than it does al-Qaeda. The military dominates the government and the government dominates no one and nothing. Wither Pakistan, a nation that IS but IS NOT!

Thank you for the English muffin recipe! I love them but hardly ever splurge 🙂 Now I can make my own, they looks o yummy and simple to make 🙂
Buns make for frugal weekend meals
photo by Darlene B.
We've grown to rely on some prepackaged foods. It's become a force of habit to toss them into the shopping cart. But weekends are the perfect time to add a little down-home cooking flair to your standard meals. Making homemade bread, muffins or biscuits accomplishes that. Store-bought baked goods will never be good enough again.
Hamburger Buns
1-1/4 cups milk
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
3-3/4 cups bread flour
1-1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 tablespoon butter or margarine, melted
In bread machine pan, place the first seven ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer. Select dough setting. (Check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed.) When cycle is completed, turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and punch down. Divide dough in half. Roll each portion to 3/4-inch thickness; cut with a 2-1/2-inch biscuit cutter. Place on lightly greased baking sheets. Brush tops with melted butter. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Bake in preheated oven at 350 F for 10 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned. — Nancy, Virginia
English Muffins
8 ounces cold water
6 ounces cold milk
1 package instant yeast
16 ounces bread flour (or all-purpose if you like it less chewy)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon shortening.
Place all ingredients in the work bowl of a stand mixer. Blend on low or medium speed for 15 minutes. You will see the dough go from a wet slurry to a ball of dough that cleans the sides of the bowl. When it has achieved the ball stage, you know it is ready. Place the dough in a bowl with a few tablespoons of oil, and turn to coat. Allow to rise for about 2 hours. You will see it triple in size in that time. If not, let it rise a little longer. You should end up with about 18 ounces of dough. Put plenty of dusting flour down on your work surface, and gently dump the risen dough onto it. You don't want to deflate the dough too much if you can help it. If you have a scale, portion the dough into 2-ounce pieces, and gently form them like a hamburger patty. Place them on a cookie sheet that has been dusted with cornmeal, and allow to rise for an hour.
Preheat your electric griddle to 325 F. Once the dough has risen again, gently place them on the griddle a few minutes at a time. After a few minutes, gently pick up the corner of one, and look for browning. Once browning has occurred, flip them over and repeat. — George, Michigan
Optional: You can use English-muffin rings, or cut the top and bottom from a tuna can to shape.

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup of whole milk or buttermilk (if using buttermilk, add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda)
Optional: Add a little sugar if you prefer your biscuits slightly sweet
Mix the flour with the baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening until it resembles coarse meal. Stir milk or cream into the flour mixture. Mix quickly with fork until dough comes together. Using hands, gently pat the ingredients together. Do not overhandle. Pat out to about 1/2- to 3/4-inch thick on a lightly floured board. Cut with biscuit cutter, place on a parchment-paper-lined cookie sheet, and bake in preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes at 450 F. — George, Michigan

Thanks to all who supported the 91st Annual Black History Luncheon. Click here for the photos from Saturday, Feb. 25.
On Sunday, Feb. 26 the NPS in conjunction with ASALH and Omega Psi Phi Fraternity a preview of the Woodson Home Site on 9th Street. Click here for the photos.
Both events were photographed by Milton Williams.
ASALH President Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham was interviewed by the National Park Foundation President Will Shafroth on "The essence of Black History Month." Click here to read the article.
Dear ASALH Members and Friends:
At the heart of Black History Month is the importance of education. ASALH's annual theme for 2017, "The Crisis in Black Education," is especially relevant today, given the heated controversy surrounding the recent hearings and confirmation of the Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos. It is no overstatement to say that this appointment by President Trump has sparked tremendous concern in regard to the fate of public schools for minorities and the poor.
ASALH shares this concern and also emphasizes that the problem of educational inequality has a long history in America. In the days of slavery, state laws deemed it illegal to teach slaves to read and write. Even in the Northern free states, where slavery was outlawed, black children could not get an equal education. In Connecticut in 1833 the white educator Prudence Crandall found her school burned to the ground because it was dedicated to the education of black girls. The legal case Roberts v. City of Boston in 1850 emerged from the courage of the father of young Sarah Roberts and the larger black community's protest efforts against the city's segregated public schools.
The problem of inequality is central to the history of black education. In the public schools of the southern states as well as in the northern states, in such cities as Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, Boston and many other cities, racial inequality has been the target of civil rights litigation throughout the twentieth-century. Indeed current litigation and newspaper coverage call attention to not only unequal resources but also incidents of racial prejudice in urban public schools.
ASALH urges greater resolve in dealing with existing problems at both the K-12 and college/ university levels. These problems are multiple and varied in nature. They include: the lack of resources in inner city schools, the pipeline-to-prison reality for many youths, the summer-learning gap, the too-often placement of black male children in special education classes, the severe financial challenges at many historically black colleges and universities, and not least of all the failure to teach correctly, if at all, the experiences as well as contributions of African Americans to this nation.
ASALH believes that to refuse to acknowledge the education of black people as a crisis belittles the importance of the many efforts to confront and combat the problems. Let us commemorate Black History Month by renewing our commitment to addressing the crisis in black education.
Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham
ASALH National President

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Posted by Norma
I retained Mr. Jacek Lentz to represent me in a recent criminal case and it was the best choice I have ever made.
He acted quickly and effectively putting extensive time to learn about my case and planning my defense. He maintained daily contact with me and kept me informed on the development of the process.
Since the initial consultation he spoke realistically about the possible outcome of my case and was clear on what his fees would cover, but grateafully, as a token, his legal advice went above and beyond the terms of the retainer.
I had confidence in his skills and the outcome of my case was extremely positive.
I highly recommend Mr. Lentz to anyone who needs an honest, kind, and dedicated criminal defense attorney.

I have worked with Jacek He is a very dependable lawyer. He knows his stuff. After he worked on the case. The judge dismissed all 4 counts of my charges.

I discovered Mr. Jacek Lentz by coincidence, which is very fortunate for me. Upon meeting him in person I was pleased to find that he was very down to earth and approachable. After discussing my case with him he was able devise a defense strategy which helped me beat my case. I was very impressed with his confidence and strong demeanor in court. I would highly recommend his services to anyone in position needing strong representation.

I'm a thirty four year old man who has had many problems in my past. It all started when I was eighteen years old and wound up in prison. I have had many lawyers in my past who made all kinds of promises and never came through.I must say that I have had 7 different lawyers in the past and every one of them have failed to do their job. I met yacek about 5yrs. Ago and since then, I've been jail free. From 2 possession for sales of marijuana, a probation violationand most recently(a DUI ) in which I did no jail time. This man has not made me all the promises that other lawyers have. He has proved it to be an honest lawyer. He has a real smooth approach with the district attorney and seems to bring miraculous results. From my past experiences, he has been an honest and proven effective. If your stuck in a bind and are looking to squeeze out of it, then Jaceks your man for the job. I have used Jacek in four different problems, and all I got were miracles! So if in doubt, leave it tohim

I recently finished my first build, after sitting on a couple parts for almost a year now. My problem was finding the Spikes Zombie lower. Once I had that it was a piece of cake. It's much easier than it sounds to assemble the lower. IMO, the hardest part is the pivot pin detent. That little bugger took me awhile.
I've got a PSA. The upper and lowers are both nice quality. The bolt carrier milling is rough compared to a Colt. Still shoots great and after over 500 rounds I've yet to have a failure to feed or jam. The uppers and lowers are easily as nice as a colt though. Accuracy is excellent and as good as any Colt I've ever fired, maybe better.
I'm running a PSA lower, LPK, and auto bolt. No problems what so ever. Trigger is nice and smooth, BCG seems to be fine - no unusual wear on it or the upper. 3500+ rounds through it since spring, and 2, 2-day training classes. Drops P-mags without issue, even when they are covered in dust/grit.

Corkboard card display
Pegs on string is not a new way to display Christmas cards, but this might be. On a simple corkboard, make a star shape and peg or slip the cards inbetween the string for a display idea that is as decorative as it is functional.
You'll need:
- A corkboard
- String
- Pins or small nails
- Scissors
Step one
Push pins into the corkboard forming the points of an invisible star. You can either do this by eye, or use a template of a star that you have traced onto paper. Don't push the pins all the way in. Nails a little longer than typical pins also work in place of pins.
Step two
Tie the end of a piece of string onto one pin. Stretch it up to the next pin and wind it around the pin gently, continuing on to the next pin in the shape of a star. Go around again so there are two layers of string between all the pins.
If your star looks a little wonky, now is the time to gently move the pins into a better position. Push all the pins in as far as they go into the corkboard to secure.
Step three

Natural Gas - Daily technical Forecast
Natural Gas slightly lower on Monday and the high-range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening on Tuesday. Stochastics and the RSI are oversold but remain neutral to bearish signalling that sideways to lower prices are possible near-term. If it extends this winter's decline, weekly support crossing is the next downside target. Closes above the 20-day moving average crossing are needed to confirm that a low has been posted.

Begin your walk at The Strand, an enormous secondhand bookstore at Broadway and West 12th Street. Watch the clock at the bookstore (time speeds by inside the stacks) and consider picking up a cheap Strand totebag on your way out, which makes a great souvenir and carry-all for the shops ahead. Head south on Broadway, past antiques stores, take a left at Grace Church onto East 10th Street and walk one block. Take a right onto 4th Avenue and walk two blocks south.
At the intersection of 4th Avenue, East 8th Street, and Astor Place, are two traffic islands: On one is the beaux-arts-style entrance to the Astor Place Subway Station; on the other stands the Alamo, a huge black cube, which is likely to be thronged with skateboarders.
Walk east from the cube, passing the Cooper Union Foundation Building on your right, onto St. Marks Place. Before proceeding down this strip of 8th Street, crowded with shops that cater to the tattooed and pierced, assess whether this is your cup of tea. A kinder, gentler walk one block north on 3rd Avenue, then east (right) on Stuyvesant Street takes you past the academic St. Mark's Bookstore, down a block of historical redbrick rowhouses, and puts you at St. Mark's-in-the-Bowery Church on the corner of East 10th Street.
The culturally curious, however, should continue down St. Marks. The best shops are Trash and Vaudeville at No. 4 for seriously edgy outfits, Kim's Underground at No. 6 for music and DVDs, and the Sock Man at No. 27. At 2nd Avenue, take a left and walk two blocks north to the 2nd Avenue Deli (156 2nd Ave. , at 10th St.), across from St. Mark's-in-the-Bowery Church. If you took the detour up Stuyvesant Street, you should rejoin the walk at the Deli, where Hollywood-style squares in the sidewalk honor Yiddish stage luminaries -- and where you can get an excellent pastrami on rye.
Continue east on East 10th Street toward Alphabet City. Just before Avenue A is the Russian and Turkish Baths, a public bathing house since 1892, where you can spend hours steaming, soaking, and scrubbing yourself (for a modest fee). At Avenue A is Tompkins Square Park, a spot that was once the center of Little Germany in 1904, and is now a respite for the neighborhood's contemporary residents -- everyone from the area's homeless to those in renovated tenements paying $2,000 a month in rent.
Walk south on Avenue A, past the century-old Italian bakeries and local boutiques for seven short blocks, and take a right on East 3rd Street. On the north side of the block, between 1st and 2nd avenues, is the Hell's Angels Headquarters, so be sure to not upset any of the motorcycles parked here. Take a left on the Bowery, and walk two blocks south to CBGBs, the birthplace of American punk, where the Ramones, Blondie, and the Talking Heads laid the groundwork for a generation of music. As soon as the sun goes down, there's always a band playing and the beer is cheap. The seriously scruffy setting may not be to everyone's liking, but the T-shirts make a great souvenir, which you can get at CB's 313 Gallery next door to the venerable club.Timing
The walk itself will take you less than two hours.A perfect walk to capture the flavor of this diverse neighborhood.

Grilled Salmon and Pineapple
This is a simple but good recipe that can be used for the oven or the grill. I use a Cedar Plank most of the
time but have done it straight on the grill or in the oven on a rack. Soak the plank for at least two hours.
If planking, use a Salmon filet with skin on one side, if grilling directly remove the skin. I make a marinade of
one part Dry Sherry and three parts Soy Sauce, marinate for 1-2 hours, no longer!
Remove from marinade, sprinkle on Raging River Rub from Dizzy Pig, I also like to add a little Sugar in
the Raw on top of the rub, let rest for at least 30 minutes before placing in the oven or on the grill, if using
a plank, oil the plank before placing the Salmon on the Plank, if using a grill be sure to oil the grates just
before you place the Salmon on the grill. I cook at about 350 degrees, should take about 45 minutes on
the plank and about 20-30 on the grill. I check for doneness with a temperature probe, looking for 140-145
degrees. When salmon gets to 130 I drizzle with a mixture of 2 TBSP Butter and 3-4 TBSP Real Maple
After removing from the grill or oven, squeeze a little fresh Lime Juice on the Salmon and then make a ?tent?
of foil over the meat and let it rest for five minutes or so before serving.
Peel a fresh pineapple and slice in ?? thick rings. Lightly coat both sides with Kosher
Salt and a little Chile Powder. Grill till tender, sprinkle on a light dusting of Sugar in the
Raw or brown sugar.
The salt actually brings out the sweetness of the fruit.
Adjust the salt and Chile Powder to suit your taste.

A firefighter to the end
Longtime Exeter firefighter loses battle with cancer
By JASON SCHREIBER
Union Leader Correspondent | November 13. 2013 10:15PM
The time of day when the call came in didn't matter. Neither did his age.
He was a firefighter to the end.
"He was a real fireman's fireman. He understood what it was to be a fireman," Exeter Fire Chief Brian Comeau said of his longtime friend and fellow firefighter who dedicated his life to helping others faced with personal tragedies.
He was 77.
Raymond, who lived his entire life in Exeter, was a firefighter in town for 50 years and spent the last five years as a firefighter in Brentwood. He remained active until this past summer when he underwent surgery.
At the time of the award, Raymond was 74 and still responding to fires in Brentwood. He wasn't able to haul heavy hoses around at that age, so his job was to keep track of firefighters at a scene to make sure they were all accounted for.
Raymond began his career as a call firefighter at the Exeter Fire Department in 1958. He became a full-time Exeter firefighter five years later.
Just a few days after retiring, Raymond accepted a job as a call firefighter and safety officer in Brentwood, where his son, Gary, is the deputy chief.
While he had retired from Exeter, he was still a part of the department.
Even in his older days, the veteran firefighter nicknamed "Hawkeye" still managed to get himself out of bed at all hours to respond to a call. He could even beat the younger firefighters to the scene.
"He was the kind of guy who was always the first at the scene," Comeau added.
"Out of all the people I've met, he was genuinely a nice man and he just enjoyed the fire service. He was always there. Even as he grew older and couldn't do the hard stuff, he still wanted to contribute so he tailored his duties to his abilities," Berkenbush said.

Muchacha Issue #4 Winter 12'
"The Funny Female Issue"
In the midst of the whole "feminism & comedy" debate this summer after the Daniel Tosh fiasco (where he told a girl in the audience that he would find it amusing if she were gang raped), people were beginning to make false claims that feminists were being "too serious" and couldn't "take a joke" . I thought about how the feminists in my life are the most hilarious people I have ever known. I reflected upon the funny female comedians, writers and humorous women on television that I have listened to, read and watched for years. I knew what the next theme of my fanzine needed to be…
This diverse 38 page issue contains a variety of submissions and pieces from hilarious self-identified feminists. Subject matter ranges from feminist performance pieces ("Size 2 Pants"-Guerrilla Girls on Tour!, "How to seduce a feminist"-Sarah Fox), Feminist Disney, comics ( "The Migrant Rights Activista on Her 21st B-day" "El Senor Bobo..") the five stages of death concerning feminism within pop, men's menstruation, satirical feminist songs, the debate between comedy and feminism itself, feminist jokes, Female Comics of Color, Samantha Bee on Abortion, "The Wisdom of Fran Lebowitz", Daria Morgendorffer, fictional heroines and more! This issue is dedicated to every feminist who has ever been labeled "too angry" "too serious" or "too uptight".

The September "New Residential Construction Report," released last week by the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, registered both gains and declines in housing construction. The multifamily sector is no longer leading the way, and single-family permits, starts, and completions maintained modest improvements.
Overall permits for privately owned housing declined 5.6 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 539,000, with overall starts of privately owned units creeping up by 0.3 percent. Total completions of privately owned units, however, rose 7.3 percent to a rate of 648,000.
Following August's double-digit surge in multifamily activity, September's authorizations for units in buildings of five or more units dropped by 26 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 111,000, and starts of buildings in this sector slid 6.8 percent. But completions of units in buildings of five or more units rose by 16 percent.
Permits for single-family units inched up by 0.5 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 405,000, while starts climbed to 452,000—a 4.4 percent increase since August. Completions of single-family units in September registered similarly modest improvements: 4.8 percent above August's rate.
According to David Crowe, chief economist at the National Association of Home Builders, this latest data reflects the new-homes market's slow progress toward improved stability in the wake of the home buyer tax credit expiration and the summer's incremental economic growth. He adds that although builders are fielding more inquiries from potential buyers, still-restricted credit is preventing them from responding quickly to increasing demand.
Data from the most recent "New Residential Sales Report" shows that sales of new single-family houses increased by 6.6 percent in September, but sales one year ago were 21.5 percent higher. September's median sales price of new homes was $223,800, while the average sales price was $257,500—both moderate increases over sales prices in August. Inventory is still high, the report finds, with 204,000 new single-family houses for sale at the end of September, which at the current sales rate is an eight-month supply of new housing.
