I haven't met any mega stars in my time, but a few lesser known almost celebs.
Ralph Klein...........he was campaigning in a small town while we were driving through. He came up and shook my hand and asked for our support. I told him we live in Ontario and he said........."you are no good to me" and walked away......lol
Joe Clark..............the Conservative Party called and asked if we would be home on Saturday and how the neighborhood was. I told them we would be home and it was a nice neighborhood. Come Saturday I had forgotten, and my wife was met at our door with Joe Clark and television cameras. It took awhile for her to forgive me for that one. I guess I didn't actually meet him......lol.
Red Storey, Walter Gretzky, Gordie Howe, Carl Brewer, George Chuvalo.........all nice guys with lots of stories to tell.
Who have you met ?

Feel bad about your body? Blame your friends
You can't pick your family, but you can pick your friends.
And, according to a recent study published in Sex Roles, you should choose them wisely. Why? It seems they have a pretty strong influence on how you see your body.
You think how your friends think
It's no secret that women and girls tend to compare themselves based on looks alone, but experts wanted to know just how much a young woman's circle of friends exerts influence over her sense of body image.
In the study, researchers looked at data for 75 pairs of female friends. The women were asked about weight loss, exercise, appearance, eating and body image.
Not surprisingly, women who had body image issues were the ones who felt pressure to be thin--regardless of whether or not they were at a healthy weight. The interesting part came when researchers found a young woman's body concerns tended to mirror those of her friend's. This suggests that perceptions of what her friend thinks--not what the friend actually thinks--influences a girl's own concerns about her weight or body.
What the experts say
Drs. Louise Wasylkiw and Molly Williamson elaborate:
"Our research demonstrates that friends influence each other through at least three processes: perceived pressure to be thin; body-related talk; and perceptions. Although these perceptions are somewhat grounded in reality, i.e., close to the truth, they are more influential than reality."
Wasylkiw and Williamson also found that talking about exercise was linked to less body dissatisfaction--further suggesting how talk of "positive" body-related subjects can have the same influence as negative ones among friends.

Six prospects out of the South jumped into the top 50 after their performances in the All-American games they played in. Here is who made the move up:
Who's Out
When a number of prospects move up, then a number have to move down.
Tony Steward, Mike Bellamy, Nick O'Leary, Teddy Bridgewater, Jay Rome, and Charone Peake all dropped out of the top 50 and moved to four-stars on Scout. They did not drop off much though however. All six prospects remain in the top 73 overall nationally. Each is still projected to have big careers on the collegiate level.

The name of the venue was grand enough, Palazzo Clerici, but on arrival it was a typically Milanese courtyard that greeted me, the sun attempting to beat down on its paving through this near-spring afternoon. Walking inside the Italianess of the venue continued as I stepped up non-descript marble stairs whose only distinguishing feature from any other Italian stair case seemed to be the regal blue carpet lining them. If what was at the top of those stairs impressed me, a long wood panelled room whose decorations had long faded from glory, I remember not. What I do remember is the room in which Massimo Rebecchi's catwalk was to be held. Everything about that room, save for the stairs approaching it, is sumptuous. Long, perhaps fifty metres or so, no single part of it is untouched by craftsmanship. It's walls are made up of a mixture of gilt wood carvings, tapestries and mirrors greyed with age. The floor is a parquetry of multi-toned wood swirls sadly hidden by the carpet of the catwalk. The ceiling from which three lead crystal chandeliers hang is a trompe-l'oeil view of heaven that saw everything from archangels to horned beasts paying witness to this Milan fashion week showing.
To say that Massimo Rebecchi would have to offer up a fall / winter 2011 collection of impressive proportions in order to stand out in such a setting is to put it mildly. And that was going to be a tall order no matter how embellished the pieces sent down the catwalk. And so it was that the pops of colour that Massimo Rebecchi sent down his catwalk popped, while the pieces in winter hues simply couldn't make themselves stand apart in such a room, not matter how well embellished they were with golden mini-sequins or how delicate their lace.
You'll see from the pictures we captured that it was the collection's splashes of red silk that worked best, a fact that Rebecchi was well aware of noting that his autumn / winter 2011 collection is one in which "colour steals the scene". And there in lies two lessons: if you're a designer ensure that your room doesn't dominate your collection, whereas if you're a sartorial connoisseur remember that colour in winter is going to make you stand out.
Elsewhere the collection played to the resurgence of fur for the coming cold season, and did so both with functionality through collars and mere embellishment by working the fur across the surface of different pieces. But as colours contrasted so to did fabrics, with heavy crocheted mohair followed by sheers that were not always so light that they revealed what lay underneath despite the harsh light of the catwalk.
You can see all the pictures from Massimo Rebecchi's autumn (fall) / winter 2011 / 2012 offering by clicking on the thumbnails below.

Using a battery tender with the X3...
Quick question: when using a battery tender on the X3, should I connect the positive clip from the tender to the positive battery post and the negative clip to the chassis, or the other way around? Thanks in advance..
I connected my Battery Tender lead to the jumper points under the hood. I've been using it this way for almost a year now with no issues and the Battery Tender will charge and go to float mode like my other vehicles that I user a BT on.

"All You Need Is a Loaded Gun": Black Panther Party Funk
The heyday of soul and classic R&B is full of socially conscious empowerment anthems: "R-E-S-P-E-C-T," "People Get Ready," "Say it Loud, I'm Black and I'm Proud." But the stars didn't get involved in radical politics. (James Brown, rather infamously, supported Richard Nixon and performed at his inaugural ball.) So when Emory Douglas, the Black Panther Party's Minister of Culture, heard Bill Calhoun and his friends singing harmony, he had an idea: a revolutionary black power singing group, complete with dance routines and costumes.
The band was called the Lumpen, from Karl Marx's lumpenproletariat. That may be the least funky band name ever, but Calhoun knew how to put on a show. As bandleader Billy King, he had been gigging up and down California. He had a regular show at a club in San Francisco when the Watts riots and smaller Bay Area uprisings broke out. "The reaction of the club owner," Calhoun recalled, "when he started talking about 'them niggers' — it hit me that, yes I am Billy King, yes I am the MC, but I'm also one of 'them niggers.' That changed things for me."
Calhoun wrote some original songs, but time was tight. "I wasn't able to write quickly enough to keep up with demand." So the band would take hits and rewrite the lyrics to fit the revolution the Panthers were striving for. "Instead of saying 'Dance to the music,' it was, 'Power to the people!'" remembers James Mott, one of the Lumpen members. They took Curtis Mayfield's "People Get Ready," which says "You don't need a ticket, you just get on board," and changed the phrase to "You don't need a ticket, you need a loaded gun."
Finally, they went into a studio and made their one and only recording, "Free Bobby Now" — listen to the song below. (Bobby Seale, the Black Panther Party's co-founder, was serving four years on a charge of contempt of court.) "I made pancakes, I sold papers, I did all kinds of things, but that was our singular contribution," Calhoun said, to spread the message beyond the true believers. "If you won't come to a rally, I'll sing it to you, how's that?"
But as legal problems and battles with law enforcement derailed the Panthers, Calhoun learned he was about to become a father, and he left the band and the Party. With only one small-issue single to their name, the Lumpen faded from memory, becoming a rumor to collectors. Decades later, a grad student named Rickey Vincent chased that rumor to the Huey Newton papers at Stanford University, where he found a homemade recording of a 1970 performance at Merritt College in Oakland. His new book Party Music is a history of the band.
Even if the Lumpen didn't bring about the end of racial oppression, Vincent finds their story inspiring. He compares the Lumpen to the Last Poets, a political vocal and rhythm group considered the godfathers of hip-hop. "These people did not get radio airplay," Vincent explains, "but they sold pretty well. They helped create a discourse." Had they been able to record an album, Vincent believes, it would have changed the game. "The Lumpen would have thrown out a signal to the rhythm and blues industry: 'You're on watch. You can play your bubblegum pop, but there's another level to what people are ready for.'"
Special thanks to Chris Bishop from GarageHangover.com for the digitized version of The Lumpen's "No More," which was the B-side for their song "Free Bobby Now."

The Typographic Matchmaking in the City, Propositions for a Pluralist Public Space.
Edited by Huda Smitshuijzen AbiFares
Published by Khatt Books. Amsterdam. 2011.
Highly illustrated 396 pages in color.
Languages: Dutch, English, and Arabic.
Size: 21 cm x 28 cm.
Soft cover with flaps.
Order at http://www.khattbooks.com/
The Typographic Matchmaking in the City book offers a brief range of essays that discuss the complex topic of public space from their respective authors' individual experiences and perspectives. Through specific anecdotes, they elucidate the problematics and implications of designing for "public space" and multicultural communities. These essays frame and contextualize the research and designs presented by the five teams participating in the Typographic Matchmaking in the City project. They briefly shed light on the function and role of text in architectural spaces, discussing specific historical and contemporary examples from cities like Beirut, Dubai, Muscat, Cairo, Rotterdam and Amsterdam, and addressing the various roles of monumental typography in public space.
The authors include Dr Howayda Al Harithi (American University of Beirut), Zeina Maasri (American University of Beirut), Fadi Shayya (Dar al Handasa), Todd Reisz (Al Manakh 2, editor), Gerard Hadders, Sinan Hassan, Hashim Sarkis, Peter Bilak. In addition, the book presents the research projects of the 5 teams in a highly illustrated sketchbook style that visually explains the design process leading to the final results of public art propositions and typefaces.
This book, like the design research project that preceded it, provides concrete observations on differences as well as shared principles between the Latin and Arabic scripts, and on cultural and architectural conventions for the use of typographic design in three-dimensional urban space in different cities and cultural contexts. It raises thoughtful questions and provides useful tools that designers can use in creating new works for interventions in their own cities.

Here's a little more CC Sabathia related news, though this time it's not related to anyu injuries. Here's the story from Mark Hale:Two Yankees pitchers voiced their support yesterday for free-agent catcher Russell Martin. "I think it's important. He's been a great addition to our team, on and off the field," CC Sabathia said of re-signing Martin. "That's not in my department, though. But we'll have to just wait and see what happens. But he's been great for us." Derek Lowe, who also is set to be a free agent, is unlikely to return to The Bronx. But the veteran righty raved about Martin, whom he has known since the two were teammates with the Dodgers. Lowe pointed out the value of Martin's power, the defensive improvement he has made and the significance of Martin having proven he can handle playing in New York. "I had him in L.A.," Lowe said. "He's actually probably gotten a little bit better as far as catching because of experience, and with [bench coach] Tony Pena here being a catching guy. There's not many catchers that are going to hit you 20 home runs and drive in I don't know how many he had, call a great game, throw guys out. From that standpoint, he's a guy that's only getting better. Again, I can say that because I've played with him back in L.A., and I've seen the progression in a positive way. "I know this, and you guys know this, it's hard to bring guys in here that maybe you don't know how they're going to perform. And once you have people here that you know can perform here, in my opinion, you've got to keep them. Because you know what you're going to get."It's always good to get an endorsement from the ace of the staff, but remember, we're talking about a guy who sat at or under the Mendoza line all season so if they do bring him back I hope it's on a relatively inexpensive deal. If you were wondering, here is a list of catchers who may be available next season via MLB Trade Rumors: Rod Barajas (37) - $3.5MM club option, no buyout Henry Blanco (41) - $1.24MM mutual option Gerald Laird (33) Russell Martin (30) Brian McCann (29) - $12MM club option with a $500K buyout Jose Molina (37) - $1.5MM club option with a $300K buyout Mike Napoli (31) Miguel Olivo (34) - $3MM club option with a $750K buyout Ronny Paulino (32) A.J. Pierzynski (36) Humberto Quintero (33) David Ross (36) Carlos Ruiz (34) - $5MM club option with a $500K buyout Brian Schneider (36) Kelly Shoppach (33) Chris Snyder (32) - $4MM mutual option for 2013 with a $500K buyout Yorvit Torrealba (34) Matt Treanor (37) Not a lot of great names on there, so Martin may actually end up being their best option.

I still remember one of the first times reporters talked to BYU coach Dave Rose last fall. I turned to one of my colleagues after the interview and remarked that Rose just didn't look himself. The colleague agreed.
Rose looked thin and emaciated. His voice was a bit weak and it looked like he was really tired after that practice in October.
Turns out, we were probably on to something.
Rose admitted to me yesterday in a 30-minute interview in his office at the Marriott Center that he had not fully recovered from his surgery on Sept. 9 to remove cancerous tumors on his pancreas when the season began.<

It's finally open all hours at Ocado. The online retailer unlocked the doors of its annual shareholder meeting to the press today after years of banning the fourth estate.
Good sense has prevailed after the exit as chairman of former ITV chief Lord Grade. He has been replaced by the more publicity friendly Marks & Spencer veteran Sir Stuart Rose, pictured.
Ocado's willingness to entertain the media, as most companies are happy to do at their annual meeting, also coincides with a 46% increase in the share price since Rose took the chair. As the company gathers at City law firm Slaughter and May's offices, it looks to be finally making the grade.
To mark the exit today of co-founder Jason Gissing, Ocado took out advertisements in a number of national newspapers. "He was a daily inspiration to us, and we considered using this space to sum up his many achievements," the ads said. "But in the end, it felt more appropriate to thank him by carrying on where he left off in the way he'd want — with tireless, but tasteful, self-promotion." Cue discount vouchers.
City's livery companies swell their ranks
Never let it be said that the City's livery companies don't move with the times. Not only do the ancient trade bodies that group together such professionals as haberdashers, mercers, merchant taylors, plumbers and wax chandlers contribute more than £40 million to charity each year, but they also keep adding new additions.
Lord Mayor Fiona Woolf tells City Spy that arts scholars and educators are the two latest livery companies to launch. Time for John Fallon, boss of under-pressure education giant Pearson to learn a secret handshake?
Bell Pottinger feels the force
May the force be with Enyo Law partner Marcus Rutherford, after his withering missive to Bell Pottinger litigation support head Stuart Leach. Leach came up with an unusual PR pitch with a poem centred on Star Wars sent to the email addresses of every major law firm.
It featured snappy lines like "whilst no Bell Pottinger Litigation Support consultant would claim to be Obi-Wan Kenobi, they may still give you the insight to ensure that whatever happens in court your client's reputation out of court remains intact". Rutherford responded : "Stuart, if this is the best marketing and PR you can muster — a random email to every single litigator in London — please include me out of your tedious mailing list."
Greg Hutchings still seeking his Royal flush
In his swashbuckling Eighties and Nineties heyday, former Tomkins conglomerate boss Greg Hutchings was the quickest draw in the City as owner of guns firm Smith & Wesson.
Now the 67-year-old Mayfair resident enjoys gentler pursuits. He has amassed one of Britain's leading collections of historic autographs including a complete run of royal signatures from Edward IV to George III. Except one. Like a frustrated football card collector missing that last player for the full set, he just cannot get his hands on a Mary II.
"In the 10 years I've been collecting, not one has ever come up for sale to my knowledge," he says.
Anyone who can help Hutchings locate the missing autograph shouldn't be shy about asking a high price. He once said: "Other people at the top, like Nigel Mansell and Rod Stewart, are paid huge sums of money, so why not businessmen?"
Reckitt boss all set for a quick take-off
How apt that today's annual meeting of Cillit Bang and Nurofen maker Reckitt Benckiser was at the London Heathrow Marriott Hotel. It means chairman Adrian Bellamy can dart quickly back home to San Francisco.
Shareholders might reasonably have asked why, after 17 years' involvement in the business, the former Body Shop chairman hasn't been spotted in the departure lounge before now.
Jason Ader's credentials questioned
Activist investor Jason Ader's attempts to get four directors on the board of bwin.party digital is producing a steady stream of sniping. Links between Ader and three of his four "independent" nominees have been established, and opponents are pointing out the cracks in Ader's financial wonderboy credentials. His Case for Change document highlights that the investor was founder and chairman of US bank Western Liberty Bancorp, snapped up by Western Alliance "at a 70% premium to the market price" in 2012. It doesn't mention the exit price — $4.03 a share — was less than half Western Liberty's peak three years earlier.

3/8's solid vs 3/8's engineered?
Hello Everyone!
I fixing to replace the carpet throughout my house with Brazilian Cherry. The first floor is slab so I have to use something that can be glued down while the second floor is obviously not slab. :wink:
So my question for those of you more experienced with hardwood flooring is would you go with engineered downstairs and solid upstairs or would you just go solid all the way? I like the idea of buying one *type* of flooring and being done with it but I'm not sure thats the best route.
Thanks in advance for any replies! :thumbup:
engineered is said to be more resistant to moisture variations due to it's construction(layers are stacked with alternating grain direction). For glue down i'd recommend engineered. as for upstairs, you can buy the same product and nail it down.
Thanks for the reply!
well, there's a lot of brands out there... the most famous ones are Bruce/Armstrong(they're the same company), mannington, BR-111, etc...
try this: go here: http://www.ifloor.com/help/samples.html. You can get free samples(only pay for shipping) of the ones that catch your eye. I'm not saying that you buy your wood from them. but once you have the samples, you can get an idea of how each dents, scratches etc... See how you like the finish, thickness of the wear layer, etc.. once you decide on one ,that's when you shop around for it. Personally, i like Bruce/Armstrong products. I've put this one down and i love it: http://www.armstrong.com/flooring/ha...loor-89857.asp.
Do your own research, all will have good and bad reviews.
Good Luck...
Thanks! :thumbsup:
gotta be engineered in a 3/8" size unless it is acrylic impregnated
solid 3/8 is fine until you drop a glass of water on it..lol
usually the thinner engineered is a little cheaper then the solid and you wouldnt have to worry about variations from the engineered to the solid. it would all look the same

In the last few months I've done photography trips to South Australia, Western Australia and Queensland. Mostly working on a new coffee-table photo book of Australian climbing. I'll have some pics from those trips soon (yes, I've been busy!) but first here is some breaking news…
Yesterday (18th August) 20-year-old German climber Alexander Megos capped off a productive visit to Australia by climbing the long-term open project known as The Red Project at Diamond Fall in the Blue Mountains. It took him three days of effort with at least 20 redpoint attempts. Alex has named the route Retired Extremely Dangerous. After giving it much thought, and comparing the difficulty of the route with other hard routes that he has climbed here in Australia (and of course also around the world), Alex has decided to propose the Australian grade of 35 (9a or 5.14d) for the route. Given Alex's experience at that level (which includes being the first climber in the world to onsight a 9a graded route) I doubt there'll be too much dispute of the grade. So this is the first grade 35 route in Australia!
The Red Project was originally bolted by Garth Miller in 1999, and since then has sat there as an open project free for anyone to try. Lee Cossey has spent some time attempting the route over the years and has made good progress on the route. Lee actually encouraged Alex to attempt the route and kindly offered some beta which may have proved useful.
On his first day of attempts Alex worked out all the moves and Read More

At first glance, the Motorola DEFY MINI seems to be some sort of inconspicuous looking entry-level smartphone, but after playing with it, you get a sense that it's built to withstand some harsh torture. Its 3.2" HVGA display hardly impresses us, as well as its overall bland looking design, but the latch on the back of the phone means it's going to keep its internals free from damage. From what we're told, the Motorola DEFY MINI is waterproof, so small spills or accidental dips into your kitchen faucet won't be deadly. Also, it comes with Gorilla Glass to soundly keep the sturdy nature of the device intact – so scratches or cracks won't be too much of a concern in the event of an accidental drop.
Specs-wise, it's nothing to write home about, especially when a 600MHz processor is chugging away behind the scenes. Frankly, it's not known to be a speed demon, which is evident by its less than point response with some operations. Call it the kiss of death, but you'll want to really think long and hard about this one since it's running Android 2.3 Gingerbread with MOTOBLUR on top of it – with a close zero chance of getting Ice Cream Sandwich someday.
Yes, its specs are barely going to budge some people, as well as its overall bland design scheme, but it's nice to know in the back of our minds that it's going to be an affordably priced smartphone. Additionally, you can't beat that this guy is rugged enough to handle drops and spills!

Got a really great screenplay idea—about an Ultrabook? Intel is teaming up with W Hotels on a global online competition and promotion in which aspiring filmmakers place the thin and light Intel-inspired portable computers in a key role in what are supposed to be 10-minute films. The competition, called Four Stories, kicks off Aug. 10, and is being curated by film director and screenwriter Roman Coppola. Scripts must also be set in a W Hotel.
Filmmakers can upload their original screenplays – rules say they must be inspired by the highly mobile, 24/7 nature of travel – at intel.com/fourstories. Three of the submitted scripts will be made for the big screen and premiere at red carpet events held at select W Hotels. A fourth short movie, thus the Four Stories name of the competition, will be written and made by Coppola, who will serve as one of the judges choosing the winners. The other judges:
Michaelangelo L'Acqua (W Hotels global music director), Deborah Conrad (chief marketing officer at Intel), Eddy Moretti (executive producer and creative director at VICE), Michael Pitt (actor), Jeff Baena (screenwriter), Chloe Sevigny (actress), PJ Ransone (actor) and Blake Whitman (vice president of creative development at Vimeo).
"To all those people thinking of participating, I hope that they take this opportunity to be bold, to push boundaries and to think of ideas which are totally unique to themselves," Coppola says in a press release. "As Thomas Edison said: 'Hell, there are no rules here - we're trying to accomplish something.'"
What Intel is trying to accomplish, of course, is to give the Ultrabooks sold by its industry partners marquee status. The company will place Ultrabook design installations at various W Hotels around the world, letting guests and locals alike interact with the latest models. Additionally, Ultrabook devices will be integrated into the Whatever/Whenever concierge experience at all 42 W hotels and retreats worldwide, to, as the release says in the kind of hyperbole Hollywood appreciates, further demonstrate "the marriage between technology and design to create impactful and emotional experiences."

BABE WAXPAK/SPORTS COLLECTIBLES: Mantle card most valuable in set
Dear Babe: I bought a 1958 Topps Mickey Mantle Sport Magazine All-Star card No. 487. My concern is that the card may be a fake. On other All-Star cards of this year, I notice that the yellow on the front is bright, but on this card the yellow is faint. I realize that a scan is not the best way to make a judgment, but can you take a look and give me an opinion?
— Bob Hugus, Westville, Ind.
You are absolutely right about judging a card from a scan, but that won't stop Da Babe from making educated guess that it's either a printing flaw or possibly the card being exposed to too much light over the years.
"To me, it looks like either a printing flaw or the card just seriously faded (maybe due to overexposure to the sun) over time or maybe a combination of the two," said Brian Fleischer, a senior market analyst for www.Beckett.com. "Other than the 'washed out and faded' look of the card, it looks OK to me, but ... we can't 100 percent authenticate anything without examining it in person."
The 1958 Topps All-Star cards feature one of the all-time great designs. Plus the Mantle card (No. 487) has gained even more fame, because it is the one Bob Costas carries in his wallet as a reminder of his boyhood idol.
The Sport Magazine All-Star subset has 21 cards. Fred Haney, manager of the world champion Milwaukee Braves, and Casey Stengel, manager of the American League pennant-winning New York Yankees, are on No. 475. Eight position players from each league plus right-handed and left-handed pitchers follow.
Stan Musial (No. 476) and Mantle were triple printed, according to Beckett's Almanac of Baseball Cards, so there's no shortage of them.
Eleven of the 21 cards feature Hall of Famers. In addition to Stengel, Mantle and Musial, the set includes Nellie Fox (279), Eddie Mathews (480), Ernie Banks (482), Luis Aparicio (483), Frank Robinson (484), Ted Williams (485), Willie Mays (486), Hank Aaron (488) and Warren Spahn (494).
Mantle is the most valuable card in the subset. Beckett's Almanac has it at $125-$200, while the Standard Catalog of Vintage Baseball Cards from the editors of Sports Collectors Digest lists it at $45-$150.

Dear Babe: I have eight Los Angeles Dodgers yearbooks from 1960, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1969, 1970 and 1971. The eight yearbooks are in perfect condition.
— Kathleen Murray, Grand Terrace, Calif.
Even though the Dodgers were World Series winners in 1963 and 1965, it appears that overproduction and Internet sales have combined to drive down values for these yearbooks.
"The Dodgers overproduced their yearbooks and thus they have a value of $15-$30," said Phil Regli, www.cards programs.com, a longtime magazine dealer. "The 1960 and 1962 programs are worth $30 (each), and the rest would be $15 (each) in value."

Look into a Ruger GP100 they can be found in your price range, another good revolver is the N framed S&W Model 28 Highway Patrolman, slightly larger than the GP100 but built for a steady diet of 357s.
This is a discussion on Recommendations for a 357 magnum within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I'm in the market for a 357 revolver. I want something with a 4 - 6" barrel, SA & DA. Do not want SAO. This ...
I'm in the market for a 357 revolver. I want something with a 4 - 6" barrel, SA & DA. Do not want SAO. This won't be a daily carry gun, but one that I can strap on for outings into the hills.
I'm trying to spend around 500-550, so a used gun is probably what I'll be looking for.
I want something that can handle a steady stream of 357, not just 38 specials w/ the occasional 357 round. I haven't owned a revolver (I typically carry an XD), but I like the simplicity and reliability of revolvers and the punch of the 357, especially when out in the hills.
What are your recommendations??

I have both a Ruger Security Six .357 and a S&W .357 (Model 19 I believe). Both are solid weapons with zero reliability issues. Both are single action or double action. Both have had the original wood grips replaced with rubber grips. The Ruger has a rocker style cylinder release button, and the S&W has a slide forward style cylinder release. I think I prefer the slide forward style, but both are highly functional. In addition, I have had an issue with the Ruger's ejector rod coming slightly unscrewed and backing out a little bit, causing it to get hung up on the frame. A little lock tight fixed that issue though. Also, the S&W seems to reassemble a little more easily than the Ruger. I realize both weapons are a little older, but if you're looking for a used model, they may be what you come across more often. Good luck in your search.
EDIT: I stand corrected. I own the S&W 686, not the Model 19. I loaned it to my mother years ago as HD weapon, so it's been out of my hands for while {blush}.

The model 19 S&W mentioned above is an excellent gun. Or the stainless version which is the model 66. Both are a little older but are rugged, extremely accurate, and also beautiful pieces of workmanship. In addition, the two Smiths will only run about 36 ounces with a 6 inch barrel and slightly less with the 4". Makes for much easier carrying in the woods all day. And, in your price range you can get a nce one. Here's a link to an artical on the model 19 (although I'd go with the stainless for field use) The Smith & Wesson Model 19
Interesting article, for many years I have read and been told the Model 19 would loosen up due to the use of heavy 357MAG loads, that is why I recommended the model 28 since it is built on the N frame. I now stand corrected. I have two Model 19s it think will be seeing more 357s in their future. Both the Model 19/66 and the Security Six revolvers are fine weapons that will give many years of use.

Lightweight bullets apparantly are not the best choice for any magnum. However, having repeated that, there is an ex-armorer for a PD over on the S&W board. He has a model 66 he aquired in '92 that had at that time over 13000 documented rounds of 125gr magnums fired from it with no problems. My next purchase by the way will likely be a 6" model 66. If I've done it right there should be a picture of an m66 below.
I have a number of .357 revolvers, and the one I usually recommend in the 4 to 6 inch barrel length for your application is the S&W model 686. I've had the one below for about 15 years, and it is the perfect revolver for shooting magnums in a longer barrel gun.
Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the Peoples' Liberty's Teeth." - George Washington
Ruger SP101. Small, easy to conceal, built like a tank but just heavy enough to make .357 rounds manageable. I usually carry .38+p in it because when I've tested various rounds, that gives me the best control and follow-up. But .357 Gold Sabres 125 gr. are pretty nice too. That's my reload. I do enjoy my other Smith wheelies as well, and would NEVER pass up an opportunity to buy another in .357, but I prefer my SP101 over the Smith 442, and the Smith 686plus 6" barrel is just a little too ungainly to successfully CC.
Compare the 442 to SP101. No contest.
The big Smith is the nicest, most accurate, sweetest trigger pistol I own. Perfect perfect perfect for full size .357 loads. Holes through holes at 25 yards.
The 686 is a nice weapon. Heavier than the m66/19's though (about 46 ounces for the 6" model). And usually a couple hundred dollars more. At least from what I've run into. I usually see them listed from around $550 to about $650. None of those things take away from the fact that they are a nice gun though.
Chiappa Rhino light accurate no recoil
Anyway, why do you think S&W brought out the L frame in 1981? Because more agencies were starting to shoot more full-house .357s as a matter of course, and the K-frame guns (66s and 19s) were getting hammered. The gas-cutting due to lighter bullets is just one issue that was happening; end-shake, both cylinder and yoke varieties, developed faster; along with timing issues as well. Not all revolvers, of course. But of the thousand-plus M-66s my agency operated up until 1989, those of us who were armorers got a lot busier tightening up/repairing them after we began shooting more .357s in quals. Make of that what you will.
Claude Clay, this forum, is selling a 5" Model 60 S&W (J Magnum frame) though he wants to sell local if possible. I have a 60 3" Pro that I bought for the same reasons as you, but I want to carry it daily as well as it's 'right-sized'. If I didn't also have a 586 4" I'd probably grab his. Just sayin'. If I had the cash I might grab his anyway.
The K frame magnums (19/66) were produced by S&W for a total of 48 years. Suddenly they realized they were no good and replaced 'em with the L frame. Seriously, I have nothing against the L frames. They are a nice gun. But the K frame is a lot more comfortable to carry in the field and has an excellent reputation for accuracy. I suppose it only stands to reason that a lighter weapon firing many thousands of rounds would develope problems sooner than a heavier model. But for every one that has developed a problem there are many hundreds that just continue to do their job. We have a PD armorer here who had a lot of problems. I am certain he knows what he saw. At the same time I know of another big city armorer who did not have those problems. Go figure. We also need to consider the original posters requirements. He is comfortable with a price range of $500 to $550 dollars. We all have personal favorites but recommending $700+ guns won't be of much help.
We have both a 6" 686 (CT grips, my wife's HD gun) and a 4" GP100 that's also CT grip equipped and on it's way to my Daughter to be her HD gun.
Having owned and shot both, a lot, with every thing from powder puff HBWC loads to full house .357 hunting loads, I have to vote for the GP100 being the better revolver. It's a piece of cake to smooth it out with an hour and a dremel, instructions are available on the web (Ruger forum), replace the trigger return spring with a Wolf spring after polishing the internal parts and you will love the trigger pull. Leave the hammer spring alone. Stock one is good. It's about as indestructable as a lump of iron. Love that gun. So does my daughter.
Edited to add: I only shoot full magnum handloads (158g Rem SJHP with a max charge of W296 or H110) in both the 686 and the GP100. Both those relatively heavy revolvers are a bunch of fun to shoot with that load. Since I reload, I can afford to shoot 50 or so in a range trip, and I do.
I load equivelant .38+P in .357 brass for my wife and daughter to shoot for practice. The .357 brass keeps the carbon ring from building up in the end of the chamber like happens when shooting .38SP ammo in them.
When we shoot at the indoor range and my wife is in the next lane, the .357 loads I'm shooting vibrate the floor enough to make her knees hurt every time it the gun goes off. The range is dark near the firing line and there is quite a bit of fire out the muzzle. I love shooting those revolvers. They weigh nearly 40 oz so recoil is very managable. The .357 MAG loads are loud but nothing like the .460 or .500 I've seen. I don't have either of those, no desire to shoot them at all.
The other really fun Magnum to shoot is a 9" barrel Ruger Super BlackHawk .44 MAG. The long barrel and heavy weight makes it very pleasant to shoot, and remarkably accurate. I don't have one ... yet.

MY lawyer took my money for Chapter 7 bankruptcy and never filed any paperwork. Doesn't answer my phone calls. What should I do? I am in New York.
Question Details: I hired a local Attorney to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. I took the initial counciling and I qualified for Chapter 7. He took the money, and no paper work was ever filed. It's been over 7 months. He doesn't return my phone calls. I stopped by the office on several occasions and he's never there. What can I do to get my money back and hire another Attornry. I am in New York City.
Maybe your lawyer's got a good excuse--laying dead in a ditch somewhere, in a coma, kidnapped by aliens, etc. However, if that's not the case, then it sounds like at best he's committed gross malpractice by failing to communicate with his client or actually doing anything...and very possibly, he's stolen from you.
First thing you should do is call the New State Bar Association. The Bar takes lawyer bad bahavior seriously, and they can help you file a complaint against your attorney with the court system, which regulates attorney conduct. If getting the Bar and the court system involved doesn't get you satisfaction--or least an answer--FAST, you should contact the police and file a complaint against your lawyer; that's because if he doesn't respond to the organizations that regulate attorney behavior, it increases the odds he's acting in a criminal manner.
You may also need to get another attorney and sue your lawyer for malpractice. The Bar Association should have a laywer referal service; you could also try calling Legal Aid if you don't have the money to pay for an attorney.
Good luck.
I would first send him a certified letter demanding that he return the money you paid him or show proof that the matter has been filed. Give him a short period of time to respond, say 7 days. This will at least limit his excuses that you never called him or followed up on his suggestions or did not give hime necessary information. If you receive no response, I suggest you find another attorney to take the case. That attorney in all likelihood will attempt to communicate with your prior attorney and may be more responsive to him or her. If that fails you should then contact the bar Association and file a complaint. But always have some proof that you attempted to reach him first or he will attempt to make excuses and blame you for the delay saying you did not respond or failed to provide necessary information.

On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog — but it is getting increasingly easy for someone to figure it out.
As more and more of our personal data — and those of the people we know and are related to — gets posted online, the anonymity promised by the remove of a computer screen gets more and more elusive, according to a new study out Thursday in the US journal "Science."
That's what a team of scientists uncovered when they started playing Sherlock with a batch of genetic data posted online for researchers to use.
The data was anonymous: the participants' names were not published.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Hello and thank you for using Just AnswerIn North Carolina a nonresident employee is subject to withholding on the part of the wages for performing services in North Carolina. If they will not withhold instead for South Carolina then the North Carolina law states that any relief from double taxation must be made in the resident state. This is what you are doing by using the credit on your SC resident return. If you are still owing tax to NC then you need to adjust your withholding and have more withheld for NC. I wish there were a simplier way for you but this happens many times when someone works in one state but lives in another.Thank you in advance for clicking ACCEPT

Direct mail campaigns benefit from higher response rates than various other channels, finds the Direct Marketing Association (DMA) in a June 2012 study. Comparing rates over time, the report indicates that the response rate for direct mail to an existing customer averages 3.4%, compared to 0.12% for email. Interestingly, (letter-sized) direct mail's relative superiority over email in terms of response rate comes despite the former's 25% decline in response rate over the past 9 years.
The DMA report is based on a survey conducted in April 2012 with 481 usable responses, and this survey data is supplemented by transactional data from Epsilon and Bizo, which adds aggregated data on more than 29 billion emails and more than 2 billion online display ads.
Looking at response rates across a variety of channels for existing customers, oversized mail (3.95%), postcards (2.47%), and catalog (4.26%) all show strong results, though they are all dwarfed by telephone's 12.95% response rate.
Prospect response rates for these channels also outpace digital channels. Telephone (8.21%) once again ranks highest, ahead of oversized mail (1.44%), letter-sized direct mail (1.28%), postcard (1.12%) and catalog (0.94%). The median conversion rate for email is 0.03%, while the mean conversion rate is 0.21%. Conversion rates for paid search and display ads are 0.22% and 0.04%, respectively.
Data from the DMA's "2012 Response Rate Report" indicates that because costs for direct mail are higher, cost per lead and cost per sale across direct mail, email, and paid search are roughly equal. Cost per order or lead for acquisition campaigns stood at $51.40 for direct mail, slightly less than for paid search ($52.58), post card ($54.10), and email ($55.24).
Indeed, when examining return on investment, email ($28.50) far surpasses direct mail ($7.00). This mirrors survey findings from Target Marketing released in February 2012, in which a plurality of B2B marketers cited email as delivering the strongest ROI for both customer retention and customer acquisition, ahead of direct mail. Even so, that same survey found more B2C marketers saying that direct mail delivered the strongest ROI than email.

German Shepherd Dog Forums (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/)
- Rescue, Foster & Adoption Information (General) (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/rescue-foster-adoption-information-general/)
- - New Foster with Kennel Cough (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/rescue-foster-adoption-information-general/456922-new-foster-kennel-cough.html)
New Foster with Kennel Cough
Hi everyone,
I am fostering a shepherd who has Kennel Cough. We got him on Saturday and he has had very limited exposure to my other dogs. I clean his cage, he has a separate food/water bowl and in another room all together. My other dogs are all fully vaccinated. I didn't know he had kennel cough until Monday when he went for his heartworm/lyme/lypto/etc test. I saw several threads about remedies on the forum, but I haven't seen anything on proper sanitizing the household with a dog that has kennel cough. I know its airborne. I just want to make sure I'm doing the best I can to decrease the chance of it returning for our foster and spreading to my other dogs.
FYI...he is getting meds for the kennel cough, along with coconut oil.
There were two fosters that came with kennel cough. One was recovering the other was getting pretty bad. I didn't limit the dogs' exposures to my own two dogs. They were here a week each and slept inside with my dogs in the same room, played during the day together. My own dogs aren't vaccinated against kennel cough and didn't catch it. I was told if your own dogs are healthy with good immune system, there shouldn't be an issue. I didn't do anything extra for the kennel cough sanitation wise other than cleaning the fosters' beds after they left.
Not sure if this helped but I've always made sure the air circulation in and out of the house is good. That is regardless of kennel cough.
Thanks for your reply Bear L! They all have a good immune system so my fingers will br crossed! I do clean his bed (crate floor) and wipe it down daily, along with changing water as well. When he is out in the house, I block the others through a gate or have them outside. I change my air filters regularly too. Thanks again for sharing your experience!
We have had quite a few dogs come through our rescue from shelters in MD that have had kennel cough. Sometimes (especially dogs from PG County MD) have a strain of kennel cough that is very resistant to the more commonly used antibiotics. We have found that the best drug for these dogs is Doxycycline.
Best of luck with your dog and thanks so much for fostering!
I had three dogs, brought Midnite in and he came with Kennel Cough. My oldest did not get it, but the other two did. After a couple days on antibiotics they were okay. All my dogs are healthy dogs, I think it's more of a hit or miss.
This particular fellow is from Tri-County (ST. Mary's, Calvert, and Charles). He is on Doxycycline. Hoping I should see a change in him over the next day or so : )
He is a great boy. Total sweetie...loves people and other dogs. Looking at him, I wonder how he could have ended up in a shelter.
I've had many fosters that broke with a nasty strain of KC, and my dogs have never come down with it. One got a hint of runny nose once once, but never fully broke with KC as the dog's immune system fought it off.
I agree with Remo re Doxy -- the alternatives haven't worked as well for us, even though doxy is no longer as cheap as it was. I know several very, very sick dogs who've bounced back in 48 hours after starting a Doxy regimen--it's pretty amazing how fast it helps them. They usually have to be on it for 10 days.
KC can go into pneumonia in the blink of an eye -- when they crash, they hit bottom very, very quickly. I thus think it's pretty important to work with your rescue's vet to get them started on antibiotics as soon as they break with KC. Shelter dogs nearly always have compromised immune systems, so they just don't fight off KC as well as healthy, owned dogs.
I also always use a diffuser with eucalyptus essential oil in the room where the dog is, as the eucalytus makes them much more comfortable (just like it does us, when we have a cold). It soothes the cough.
Also, I add a bit of organic, unrefined, hexane-free coconut oil to the foster's diet (and my dogs' too, if there's KC in the house). Here's an article that explains why:
Remedies for Kennel Cough - Whole Dog Journal Article
ETA: Clean up like you would whenever a person has a cold or the flu. Any products that you already use for that purpose will work fine for wiping down surfaces -- diluted bleach water in a spray bottle is my first-choice for ceramic tile floors or crate pans where a sick dog has been snotting, but Lysol, Clorox wipes, or for a more natural option-Method Antibac, etc. would likely all be fine. I also add a little bleach to the laundry when I wash sick foster dog bedding (towels, blankets, etc. from the crate) and wash them frequently, as they get snot-covered very quickly.
Another thing I like to use when sickness is in the house is Aura Cacia's Medieval Mix essential oil blend, in a diffuser. It's likely inspired by YL's Thieves Blend (which is awesome, but very expensive).
Thank you Magwart! They do get coconut oil in with their food, Balto (foster) included. I have enough pills for 8 days...I contacted the rescue to make sure that would be enough. They are the ones who supplied me with the Doxy. His appetite seemed to improved last night as he was eating more food than he had been. Will keep you all posted on his progress...thanks again for your help!
I can see that happening to! Once his KC is cleared up, he'll be neutered. They say he is between 2 -3. This fellow seems to be sensitive and not dominant AT ALL. He was scared to get in my SUV and flattens himself out. After several trips...he loves it : ) Throughout it all he's been friendly..can't ask for more.

Though both players officially signed their letters of intent Wednesday, Pitt officially announced the additions of Mike Young and Josh Newkirk on Saturday, moments before tipoff against Oakland.
Young comes to Pitt as the No. 20 power forward in the country, after averaging 15.9 points, 11.6 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game as a junior. He also shot 72.8 percent (164-255) from the field last year.
Most significant of all, Young has local roots, as a native of nearby McKeesport. Young chose the Panthers based on "loyalty and honesty."
Newkirk comes to Pitt as the first signee from the ACC region. He averaged 15.2 points a game as a junior, leading his team to an 18-6 overall record. Newkirk has been predominantly a point guard for his high school career, but is expected to be a strong combo guard at the next level.

Closer to home, USA Hockey works with the National Hockey League and the National Collegiate Athletic Association on matters of mutual interest.
USA Hockey's primary emphasis is on the support and development of grassroots hockey programs. USA Hockey is divided into 11 geographical districts throughout the United States.
Each district has a registrar to register teams; a referee-in-chief to register officials and organize clinics; a coach-in-chief to administer educational programs for coaches; a risk manager to oversee liability and safety programs; and a skill development program administrator to facilitate learn-to-play programs for youth players and their parents.
For players, USA Hockey annually conducts regional and national championship tournaments in various age classifications; sponsors regional and national player identification and development camps; studies and makes recommendations for protective equipment; distributes Hat Trick, Playmaker and Zero Club Awards; and provides an insurance program that includes excess accident, general liability and catastrophic coverage.
For coaches and officials, USA Hockey conducts clinics and produces training manuals and videos through its Coaching Education and the Officiating Education Programs.
USA Hockey also promotes uniformity in playing rules and the interpretation of those rules.
USA Hockey has not forgotten parents, supplying this vital segment of the hockey family with a "Parent's Introduction To Youth Hockey" brochure, which includes tips on buying equipment, rules of the game and the role of parents in youth sports.
USA Hockey also publishes USA Hockey Magazine, the most widely circulated hockey publication in the world, which is sent to the household of every registered member as a benefit of membership. The organization's official website, www.usahockey.com, also provides up-to-the-minute coverage of news and events.

I need a color reference (or several) for WWII German aircrew flight suits. Thanks!
I seem to recall them being a light brownish/khaki color. I saw a few in a light, olive green too.
There should be some color references in the Osprey books. Try the one(s) in the Battle of Britain ones.
Of course, some pilots, especially the fighters, would wear their own, or captured leather jackets as well. Those could be brown, or black, depending upon the manufacturer.
Here's more info on the subject. Looks like you can paint them pretty much any way you like, within reason, since some pilots had their stuff custom made:
Thanks, Mako. That's pretty much what came to my mind as well, but wanted to be sure.
Sorry - only verified members can post on the forums.

Infrared VISTA View of Stellar Nursery in Monoceros Space Wallpaper
About this Image
This dramatic infrared space wallpaper shows the nearby star formation region Monoceros R2, located some 2700 light-years away in the constellation of Monoceros (the Unicorn). The picture was created from exposures in the near infrared bands Y, J and Ks taken by the VISTA survey telescope at ESO's Paranal Observatory. Monoceros R2 is an association of massive hot young stars illuminating a beautiful collection of reflection nebulae, embedded in a large molecular cloud.
