henry's adventure nursery
Tuesday, July 23, 2013
Exciting news! My nephew, little Henry, arrived last Thursday! He is perfect, and I can't wait to get to hold him again. I'm excited to get to share his room today (see inspiration here). It was fun to get to work with my sister on a room for a boy, since we're used to girl rooms over here. His space is really great, with super high 10′ ceilings and a huge open window with a pretty green view. I'm sure he is going to love getting to play and (hopefully) sleep here!I love the Skip crib. It's so pretty in person, and it's a great crib in a mid-price range. That giraffe print is from a really small page from an old book from the 1800's that we purchased from etsy, scanned in, and then re-printed at a much larger scale. The changing table came from an estate sale, and makes a perfect changing table. The gallery wall includes a photo of Ashley's parents, Kemble's parents, and a photo of themselves. That leather triangle mobile from the Alison Show will definitely keep little Henry entertained during diaper changes. The changing table tray is like the one in Vivi's nursery (super simple and inexpensive project!), but with little ball feet added for a bit of height. Those arrows came from here, and we hung them with washi tape.That picture of Kemble is from Ashley's baby shower.My dad helped make the bookshelf according to their spec, and it turned out so sweet! He made it with a removable back panel, so it can easily be repainted for an easy update if they ever want it.The only thing missing is something with his sweet name on it. It was a surprise (so fun!) so it isn't up yet. Hope you enjoyed the little tour of baby Henry's new room, and congratulations to Ashley and Kemble on his arrival! Hope you two are soaking up all the sweet, snuggly moments, and getting rest when you can!

Fantastic! Where are those arrows from? And are the taped to the wall with washi tape?!!
Hi Brandi! Sorry, forgot that detail! They are attached with washi tape, and came from here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/MeAndMyArrows?ref=search_shop_redirect . Looks like she is on vacation, but there are a lot of vintage arrow vendors on etsy!
Thank you Joni!
Joni it's BEAUTIFUL! Amazing work, as always! <3, Team Babyletto
It's beautiful! Can I ask where she bought the fabric for the drapes?
Hi Keely! Ashley found the fabric at Forsyth Fabrics here in Atlanta – I think she bought them out of all they had, though! You can certainly call and try to describe it to them – I'm not sure the name.
This is a gorgeous, cohesive room. Baby Henry is one lucky little guy. You have really outdone yourself editing the pieces to capture the charm and bring our the best of Adventure! This room can easily be adapted for a brave baby girl.Thanks for introducing me to the Skip crib.
Where did you get the rug? It's so sweet!
Hi there! It's the Souk Rug from West Elm – all the links are in the pink margin to the right of the post! Hope that helps!
Oh my gosh, what a gorgeous and simple nursery! So well done!
Beautiful! Can you please tell me about the wall color?
Hey Tiffany! The wall color is sherwin williams' mindful gray.
Where is the Psalm 1 print from? That is one of my favorite scriptures!
Hi Bethany! Here is is: http://society6.com/JoniLay/Psalm-13_Print . All the links are in the pink margin to the right of the images! Hope that helps!
Beautiful – we have created a safari theme for my son Maxim's room. Some nice touches here that I could incorporate!
I heart everything about this nursery, so very beautiful! Welcome to the world baby Henry x
Hey!! I've been following your blog for about a year now, hoping to gain inspiration for our nursery. Our baby Henry was born 7 months ago and we still haven't completed his adventure-themed nursery. This post simplified it for me and I think we're finally ready to complete it. Thank you so much. I felt so pressured by Adventure being related to Africa themed, Indiana Jones themed, forest or tough themed. I love how you've mixed the elements in this room. You're so very talented. I do wish you did consultations for individuals! Lovely as always.
So simple and beautiful! I love how soft it looks yet still has color. This can easily be a gender neutral room too.
I love this so much. The space seems soothing and peaceful!
First of all, congratulations to Ashley and Kemble!! What a beautiful room; it has so many sweet touches! I especially love the changing table/dresser. What a great find!
STUNNING! You are so talented.
Love it! What is the paint color?
Oops, sorry I just saw the answer above 🙂
Absolutely adorable!! Question for you… when you hang artwork over the cribs, do you use any special kind of hangers? I've been too afraid to hang anything over my girls' cribs for fear of it falling off and hurting them. I also live in southern California earthquake country so I'm even more nervous :/ Thanks!
Hi Amy! I usually get my dad to help hang artwork, because he's great at knowing what hardware to use and where to hang it. For the giraffe picture, he used this fixture: http://www.lowes.com/ProductDisplay?partNumber=334850-37672-122213&langId=-1&storeId=10151&productId=3295362&catalogId=10051&cmRelshp=rel&rel=nofollow&cId=PDIO1 which is secured into studs, and you can also put a screw at the top to ensure it can't be lifted off of the hangers. These monkey hooks are also pretty great for hanging artwork not in studs – super easy to install: http://www.lowes.com/pd_264596-37672-121049_0__?productId=3029196&Ntt=picture+hanging+hardware&pl=1¤tURL=%3FNtt%3Dpicture%2Bhanging%2Bhardware&facetInfo= .
I can definitely understand your hesitation, though, and I'm sure there is more to consider in CA! You could do something simple and lightweight over the cribs (like super cute decals by walls by mur or urban walls), and hang the artwork elsewhere. Hope that helps!
This is so helpful! Thank you so very much!
Hi! Could you tell me where the bedding is from? I'm on the hunt for simple white bedding for my little girl. Thanks!
Hi there! I responded to this in today's post – the crib sheet and skirt are no longer available, but I love the crib sheets by iviebaby on etsy, and there are some great simple white pique crib skirts at new arrivals! Hope that helps!
Really cool!
The vintage giraffe print is amazing! Did you use any specific printing technique to keep the pictures clarity?
Hi Marilyn! I just scanned it in at a very high resolution and made sure the file was saved at 300 dpi to ensure a quality print. Hope that helps!
Such a beautiful, light nursery!
I'm in love with this nursery! Did you paint all of the frames, or were they all purchased like that? And if they were painted, what did you use? Thanks!
Hi Lauren! I only painted the bamboo looking frame with the adventure print and the frame over the bookcase. All the others were already gold or wood. I used gold spray paint for the bamboo frame, and rub n' buff for the other (works really great and it's super easy!).
Where do you find the chest? Love it….
Hi Angela! We purchased it from an estate sale locally.
Can you please let me know the name of the children's book where you copied the giraffe print? It is a beautiful print. Thanks!
Hi Julie! I found it on etsy – I purchased an original page from a vintage German book and scanned it in. I may try to offer reprints on my society6 shop, but I'm not certain of the copyright details. I'm checking into it.:) The giraffes are perfectly adorable!
I love that print & would love a copy of it! Please let me know if you get the okay to sell it. 🙂 aQrose at yahoo dot com
Hi aqrose! I have it available here: http://society6.com/JoniLay/Giraffe-IQ5_Print
Oh, I just saw this response. Did I miss it? When I click the link it just takes me to the site's front page. :/
Hi There! Here it is: http://society6.com/JoniLay/Giraffe-Print-bwO_Print#1=45
Please do let me know if you are able to sell this print. I definitely would like to purchase the print. email@example.com. Thanks again!
Hi Julie! I have it available here: http://society6.com/JoniLay/Giraffe-IQ5_Print
Would also LOVE to purchase this print if possible! email@example.com
Hi Heather! I have it available here: http://society6.com/JoniLay/Giraffe-IQ5_Print
I can't seem to locate the print, is it still available.?
I have looked, too. I will keep checking back here to see if it is still available.
Hi Kimberly! It's there now!! So sorry – here is the link: http://society6.com/JoniLay/Giraffe-Print-bwO_Print#1=45
Hi Lana! Here it is: http://society6.com/JoniLay/Giraffe-Print-bwO_Print#1=45
Thanks so much!
Hi! Could you tell me where you had the giraffe print printed out at a large scale? Have something that I want to print similarly, but want to make sure the quality will be good! Thanks in advance!
Hi Amy! I used a local printer. If you search for a "digital printer" in your area you should be able to find one! Just call around, and quite often they will have samples you can review to make sure you like the quality, and to decide on the paper/substrate you would like to use. Hope that helps!
Love the shag pattern rug in front of the crib, but we have shag carpet. Would that look bad to put a shaggy rug on top of shaggy carpet???
Hi Lulubelle! I think it might be too much to put a shaggy rug on shaggy carpet. If you want a rug on top of carpet, I think it's best to go with the opposite texture on a rug – so I'd probably do a flat woven rug as opposed to a shaggy or tufted rug. You could do a smaller size, just to add a bit of pattern and color.
[…] beautiful nurseries to feature this week, this first is a boy's nursery for Joni's nephew Henry spied over at Lay Baby […]
What is the wall color? Looks fresh and soothing. -Heather
Hi Heather! The wall color is mindful gray by sherwin williams. Thanks so much!
Could you share what color is painted on the back of the bookshelf? I love it.
I would also love to know the color behind the shelves
Two questions regarding the Psalm 1:3 print. What size is shown in Henry's nursery?
Second, is there any way the "he" can be made into "she"? I know in biblical reference its all relative to male and female but I'm having a girl so thought I'd check!
Such a perfect room. Thank you,
Hi Felicia! Sorry for the delay in my response! His sign is 24″ x 36″. Just uploaded a girl version here: http://society6.com/JoniLay/Girl-version-Psalm-1-3 . Hope that helps!! Thanks so much for your kind comment!
Thank you so much, just purchased it!
[…] For all list of products featured in the nursery, be sure to visit Joni's blog, Lay Baby Lay. […]
Hello. Beautiful nursery. Where did you get the cute smiling apple toy? Thank you.
Love this nursery so much!!! I was wondering if you knew where the deer wall hooks are from???
Hi, I love this room…it is so beautiful! I especially love the giraffe print. I happened to find one like it on Etsy, but the colors are very much less saturated. Do you have any trick you may have used to give the color a boost, or did you just happen to get a really saturated book plate? Thanks!
Oh my heavens…………..perfection this room is. What is hanging above the chair ? Been trying to google what that type of hanger is called with wood at top and bottom. Love the print, where did you find it ?
Hope I dream about this room tonight.
Soooo gorgeous! In love with this!
Love this room! It's so serene and lovely. Where did you find the ottoman?
I'm in love with this room. Can you tell me what color the changing pad tray/bookshelf back panel. Is?
Joni, I would love to purchase the Giraffe print. I was not able to find it on the link given last month. Is it still available? I am working on my nursery now and it would be perfect! Thanks, Loren
Hi Loren! So sorry about that – here is a link: http://society6.com/JoniLay/Giraffe-XDu#1=45 . Hope that helps!
Where did you get those deer wall hooks?
Hi Audrey! Those hooks are from a store in Birmingham called "At Home." Here is a similar-ish one at Urban: http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=19501188 and here are some similar ones on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Set-of-2-Cast-Iron-DEER-HEAD-Wall-Hooks-With-ANTLERS-/350886646473 .
What is the mint color behind the bookshelf, I love it. Great room!
Hi, is the rocker in the nursery the Wingback Convertible Rocker from Pottery barn? If so, which material and color? I'm considering this rocker in cream twill. Thanks!
Did you say where you got the curtains from, or are they DIY?
Hi K! Sorry for the delay – they are custom. My sister bought the last remnants from a local fabric store and had them made.
Hi! Can you tell me the color you painted the changing pad tray? Thanks!
Hi Joni, It doesn't seem like you have the giraffe print on society 6 anymore. Please tell me how I can get one for my baby's nursery!
Hi Teresa!! So sorry – here you go: http://society6.com/JoniLay/Giraffe-Print-bwO#1=45
Adorable nursery! Can you tell me what size you used for the giraffe print and did you frame it? If so can you tell me where you got the frame?
What color is the wall paint? It's pretty!
So much inspiration in this nursery. Where are all the awesome frames from, specifically the poster prints? Thanks!
I LOVE the giraffe print! Would you be willing to send me the scan? We're expecting a boy in May and I have been hunting for the right animal prints for his safari-theme nursery.
Hi Joni! Thanks so much for the poster info. I bought one and can't wait for it to arrive!
[…] This is such a refreshing take on a safari theme for a nursery, and I love it! Rather than plastering the walls with cartoon decals, these parents went for a fun and colorful print that brings some life into the room. The curtains also give a nod to the theme while tying all of the colors together, and the mix of beiges and taupes is a real win! [Via Lay Baby Lay] […]
Could you tell me where you got the ottoman? We have that rocker and I am looking for an ottoman to go with that isn't the same square one from PBK. Thanks!
Hi Joni! I'm a huge fan of your work, especially this nursery! Would you mind telling me what fabric you selected for the Wingback Rocker? The color is perfect and I can't really tell from PB Kids website which fabric it is. Thanks so much!
Hi Sofia!! So sorry for the delay – she used the flax fabric. Thanks so much!
Hi! I know this post is almost a year old but I thought I would ask anyway! Do you know what the paint color is for the room! Slash how tired are you of questions like this haha sorry not sorry but it's such a pretty color and I am trying to find something similar!
Hi Blair! oh, goodness, so sorry for the late reply! It's Sherwin Williams Mindful Gray. I will say this room gets a ton of light and the ceilings are high, so it may appear darker in a different room – the lighter shade is really lovely, too, so I'd test a swatch of both!
[…] Clockwise starting in the top left: 1/2/3/4/5 […]
I love this nursery! could you tell me where you got the frame for the Psalm print? Thanks!
Hi Emily! Sorry for the late response!! We had it printed on wood and then used flat 3/4″ wood trim from Home Depot that we painted gold and stapled to the edges.
[…] love how soft and warm this nursery is. The warm wood tone of the crib looks great against the taupe background color, and the artwork […]
Joni – love the paint color you chose for the room. Any chance you recall the brand and namejQuery1110043570294324308634_1403124319572?
Hi Anna! The color is Sherwin Williams Mindful Gray. This room gets a ton of light, and the ceilings are really high, so it might appear lighter here than it would in other spaces. The lighter shade on that swatch card is also really lovely, so you may want to test a little of both colors to see which you like! Thanks so much!

Can you tell me where the giraffe poster is from? I found a print from the early 1900s on Etsy, but it's only 6.25 x 9.75″. Thanks!

Hi, where can I find the Psalm 1:3 and shooting cowboy art? I love the both!

3rd Sep 2014 - 5th Sep 2014
Grand Parade, University of Brighton
Wednesday 3rd – Friday 5th September 2014
Keynote speaker: Imogen Tyler
Lancaster University, author of Revolting Subjects: Social Abjection and Resistance in Neoliberal Britain
"The Stigma Doctrine: neoliberalism in everyday life"
Theatre Performance: Dear TINA: "We are sorry for the inconvenience, but this is a revolution"
Aylwyn Walsh, University of Lincoln, Ministry of Untold Stories and Myrto Tsilimpounidi, University of East London, Ministry of Untold Stories
Film Screening: "Secrete City"
Written by Lee Salter, University of Sussex, and directed by Michael Chanon, University of Roehampton.
In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis many declared neoliberalism dead. Others have characterised it as a zombie, ideologically dead but nevertheless stumbling on. Five years on and the neoliberal revolution from above continues to roll on, relentlessly transforming all aspects of society and the lives of those subjected to it. Today neoliberalism looks as inexorable as ever; not only surviving the crisis but capitalising upon it. From education to housing, from popular culture to social welfare and from food production to the work place, in the last three decades neoliberalism has been working across the globe to transform every aspect of social life. This conference explores the ways in which neoliberalism impacts upon and is transforming the quotidian and therein the very ways in which we conceive of ourselves and others; the past, the present and the very horizons of the future.
Taking inspiration from recent work by Wendy Brown, Phillip Mirowski, Imogen Tyler and other scholars working in this area, this international, interdisciplinary conference brings together scholars working in a range of different fields and from a variety of perspectives to reflect on the impact neoliberalism has had, and continues to have, on the everyday lives of those subjected to it. How and in what ways is neoliberalism transforming the everyday practices and forms of understanding that shape our social reality? What kind of subjects does it seek to interpellate and by what means? How is neoliberalism represented, and not represented, in the media, in popular culture and the arts? How does this impact on the ways in which "we" understand ourselves and the world in which we live? How can neoliberalism be resisted or even overthrown? What might a post-neoliberal future look like?
The conference fee is £210. This includes refreshments, lunch on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and a buffet dinner on the Thursday evening.

After a five-year hiatus, Dan Mancuso is returning to coaching in Pinellas County at the most unlikely destination.
The former St. Petersburg Catholic head coach was hired as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Northeast, one of the schools that turned in the Barons to the Florida High School Athletic Association for recruiting a player in 2006 while Mancuso was coach.
Mancuso resigned from SPC in 2006 after the FHSAA fined the school $13,000 and banned it from the playoffs for three years after finding the program guilty of three counts of recruiting and four counts of illegal practices. He has coached the past few years in Hillsborough County and was an offensive assistant for Jefferson last year when it won the Class 4A state title. In the offseason, Mancuso was named offensive coordinator at Gaither.
But he decided to come back to Pinellas after Northeast coach Mike Jalazo offered him a position on his staff. Jalazo, who was named the Vikings coach earlier this month, previously coached at Admiral Farragut, Clearwater Central Catholic and Leto. He and Mancuso coached against each for years when Jalazo was with the Marauders.
"Danny and I have been friends for a long time," Jalazo said. "The opportunity presented itself and we were able to bring him in. I'm sure people will be skeptical and critical of this hire, but Danny has paid a price and served his time. I think he can help us in a lot of ways."
Northeast assistant principal/athletic director Greg Zornes approved the hiring after careful consideration.
"I believe in second chances," Zornes said. "We talked to a lot of people about this. Danny's not coming as a head coach just an assistant. Everything seemed to be okay."

bmw roof rack configuration
have a question about roof rack configuration. just got a 2nd hand bmw roof box 450 and would want to save some $ by trying to optimize the configuration of the roof rack and box myself. cant seem to find anything on the internet though as to the optimum way to do it. so far, all i know is that it looks nice right in the center of the vehicle, and that it should be forward enough to allow the trunk to open. anything else i should know/do? anybody have pictures?
Theoretically you would be trying to center the box on the point of equal fore-aft weight percentage. But that might be physically impossible, and that point shifts with interior load, and this is a non-critical weight increment; so within the bounds of common sense do what looks best.

New deepwater drilling permits in the Gulf
Shell permit for new drilling is a post-spill first | Business | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle
I'm angry about this, not so much even that it is happening, but that greedy-azzes are griping about lack of "progress" being made in the resuming of drilling in the Gulf. I understand that it is a slow process, but I have no confidence whatsoever in the "quality assurance" of this work.
There is no assurance whatsoever that the malfunction in the BP well will not occur again, and when it does, can be remedied. It took months of investigation just to find the cause. It just sickens me how the legal threats are shrugged off since apparently they're sure there will be "little human impact" or "no human threats." Does the whole concept of ecoystem mean nothing? I guess not to oil tycoons. A part of me wants this to happen again on a larger scale so we can be fully reminded of the human impact. It's never human life that suffers the most though.
Am I the only person that is upset with this, and more upset with Obama? This is the first time since being registered to vote that I will not be voting in the presidential election. One side is as bad as the other any more.
Honestly, i don't think anything will change until something so horrible happens that whales are washing up on shore of the private beaches of the rich and famous.

Newton law of cooling and cooling collision.
I don't know what you mean by "cooling collision".
His "law of cooling" of a surface is an approximation,
q = A*h*(T - Tw), where
A is the area
T is the fluid temperature in the "free stream"
h is the "film coefficient" which depends upon velocity, geometry and temperatures
Tw is the wall temperature
Values of h are usually calculated from dimensional analysis of experimental data.

- - Helms 24 tuning (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/helms/59652-helms-24-tuning.html)
Helms 24 tuning
Hey everyone. I've got a '82 Helms 24 in need of tuning. I was wondering if anyone had a tuning guide. My pointing ability is terrible on starboard tack and better on port, so I am thinking the mast is not straight.
I'd also appreciate any tuning tips anyone might have.
I have a Helms 25 which is a deck mounted mast. Is the 24 a keel mounted or deck mounted mast? I bought my Helms 25 used and never had a tuning manual. I bought Brian Toss's rig tuning DVD and it was very helpful for a beginner like me. He also has a web site you can Google and ask questions there.
It's a deck mounted mast. I probably should just walk the dock and take some measurements, there are 6-7 other Helms 24 at the club. I am just leary of making adjustments without knowing tolerances I guess.
I'd have to review the DVD again, but a good start would be 10% of breaking strength for the lower shrouds and up to 15% of breaking strength for the upper shrouds and jibstay. A Loos professional gauge is worth the investment and tells you the breaking strength for different size wire.
Hmmm, thinking that mast isn't straight? So how do your halyards hang Chief? Start there, I've seen a host of mast wedgies made for Helms 25'er's fitted inside the mast step at the foot, I just haven't paid a lot of attn. to the 24's, yet... I've got running back stays (you probably don't) so I kind of know mine is bent, when I tell it to be so. Anyway see how it's hanging fore & aft as well as athwartship.
My Helms is a 76 and my Starboard everything is longer/bigger..meaning the hull isn't exactly symetrical, go figure, eh? And on a boat where nothing is plumb either. That may explain your pointing differential...

Best polymer 45acp pistol?
Xd and mp feel better in my hand.
barrel length and weights are close, as is capacity.
Each respect site has its' favorite.
What kind of accuracy are these capable of compared to the 1911?
I have the Glock 21 and the M&P45, don't have a XD or XDM so I cannot comment on it.
The Glock 21 is huge in my hands! I much prefer the the M&P ergonomics, wish it had a greater capacity than 10 + 1 rounds but keeps the grip manageable.
I also much prefer the replacable rear slide rails that are pinned in the polymer frame on the M&P and XD as opposed to the H&K and Glock.
As far as best overall goes my votes would be:
#1 HK45 as accurate as most custom tuned 1911s
#2 M&P .45 and Glock 21SF As accurate as most people
#3 HK USP as accurate as most production 1911s
All youyr choices are reported to be very reliable. I have heard of issues with one Police department with the XD .45 and 13 round mags not working well. However as far as I know this is the only issue. The XDs ran fine with 10 rounders.
#1 HK45, USP or Glock
#2 M&P (weak strikers that don't like being dryfired)
#3 XD45 (mag issues as well as other minor issues reported)
#2 M&P and USP
#3 Glock and XD
All are combat accurate. All are as accurate as 95% of shooters.
My G21sf is as accurate as I am. Yes it is big in you're hand but I think it is the best COMBAT wepone made followed by the 1911. I don't like the HK 45. I've owned it and the HK45c and don't llike the DA pull.
I can talk about the XD 45 acp a little... I own a compact version I use to carry with.
The only issue with the 13 round mag is that the 13th round is hard to get into the mag... when it's in there, there isn't any room left to move the carrier at all. You're probably better off using it as a 12 round mag, IMHO.
It's a VERY nice little gun. It feeds just about anything but, it will not feed SWC ammo and that is more bases on the design of the pistol. The ejecting round catches the lip on the SWC bullet in the magazine and stove pipes the round in the mag..... that's about my only gripe. I've shot several thousand rounds through mine and have not really had any failures.
It's pretty nice to have the compact version because, you can push in a 10rd mag to shorten the grip to make it easier to conceal and when you put the 13 round mag in it, it becomes a full length grip...Kind of like having the best of both worlds.

IMO it's between the HK45, MP45, and FNP45
I own a G30, two G21s and a G20. I find the big Glocks to be fine range pieces. Carry a G26, though. Unless you're (yawn) shooting bullseye, I don't see any advantage of the 1911s over any of the polymer wonderguns.
Shoot to kill! They'll stop when they're dead!
Not a Glock armorer!
I've owned an HK USP Stainless .45
Out of the polymer .45's I shot it's the softest shooting and most accurate. I'd go as far as saying it's got a slight edge in out of the box accuracy over a SIG 220.
My current polymer .45 is an XD with the thumb safety. Only put 600 rounds through it so far but no problems with loading the mags to 13 rounds. Yes, it's a little tight getting the mag inserted but there have been no reliability issues thus far. And for $499 it's almost as soft shooting and accurate (as the USP). I'd rate its out of the box accuracy just under a SIG 220. It definitely has the smallest grip circumference than all the doublestack hi cap .45's. Before all the M&P fans say anything, I consider the Smith a mid-cap, not a hi-cap.
I've recently shot an M&P .45 w/thumb safety and it feels the best in my hand. But the reason for that is the magazine is 9mm width hence the narrower grip and reduced capacity. But no one in their right mind should ever say it "only" holds 10 rounds in the mag. It's a .45! Oh, noes! ONLY 10 rounds of .45! God help us all! I think it's the most attractive out of the polymer .45's as well. Recoil is felt a little more due to the grip width being narrower but then that's a decent trade-off. It's still not punishing by any stretch. In fact, I liked the M&P .45 so much that I've put one on my list to buy for next year. I would get it with the thumb safety though.
Those are the only polymer .45's I've shot to date. No experience with the HK .45 but I don't take any heed of the folks complaining about the DA pull. I would carry them like I carried my USP. Condition one eliminates the sub par DA pull.
"You see, Doctor, God didn't kill that little girl. Fate didn't butcher her and destiny didn't feed her to those dogs. If God saw what any of us did that night he didn't seem to mind. From then on I knew... God doesn't make the world this way. We do."
Honestly, I'm not a big fan of the plastic guns either, even though I own one.
It's hard to argue against them for being almost indestructible and completely dependable though. They'll hold up to abuse that a 1911 could never hold up to and remain reliable.... well, at least one that's been made to tight specs and made to shoot accurately.
Those are the reasons I carry one of these things. Virtually no muss, no fuss. Keep it pretty clean and shoot it every now and then and, you're good to go. I do shoot mine almost weekly, even if it's just a box or so, since it is my carry.
My 1911 gets shot a LOT more but because of the higher tolorances in the better fit guns, they require more work to keep reliable that something like a glock or an XD which are designed to shoot just about anything out of.
Hell, I've even screwed up batches of reloads pretty badly and the XD has fired them flawlessly. I've never had a FTE or FTF out of my XD that I didn't cause and, It's never FTF or FTE a commercial cartridge.... not even one.... AND, you can carry 14 rounds of 45 acp in a loaded one.... that's some serious firepower from a carry gun.
I did!
"You see, Doctor, God didn't kill that little girl. Fate didn't butcher her and destiny didn't feed her to those dogs. If God saw what any of us did that night he didn't seem to mind. From then on I knew... God doesn't make the world this way. We do."
Next to my 1911s, I have 2 HKs, the Expert and the Compact, both in .45. If I didn't like the 1911 so much, they would be my carry guns. (though the Expert is quite large) They are as accurate as you can get.
Cry Havoc.... and let slip the Dogs of War.

After browsing through this thread, I'm even more excited to get to pick up the HK45 I paid for a few weeks back!
Have an STI Escort and an HK USP Compact .45.
Love them both, would trust either with my life and do.
"I find your lack of faith disturbing." Darth Vader
"The penalty that good men pay for not being interested in politics is to be governed by men worse than themselves." Plato
I have a G21SF and a G30SF and they have been 100% and pretty darn accurate. More than anyone would probably need. I still carry 1911s though. I've owned the H&K USPs the full size and the compact, didn't care for the high bore axis. Nice guns though.
All Three have a trigger safety. The XD also has a grip safety. Both the XD and M&P have optional thumb safeties. This may or may not make a difference to you.
Besides that, I would choose based on what fits your hand the best. I used to own an XD and it was boringly reliable and shot very well. I've shot the M&P, thought it was a good, solid gun and liked the ergonomics a bit better than the XD.
You cannot make a man by standing a sheep on its hind legs. But by standing a flock of sheep in that position you can make a crowd of men.
THE best polymer .45's without a doubt are:
HK Mark 23
There is no debate on this one.
XD9 SC 2 tone | Glock 19 "Cogan Custom" | HK45 | HK P7M8 | HK P30 | Kimber Eclipse Pro II | Springfield EMP | Glock 19 TALO Limited Edition | S&W 1911 Doug Koenig Edition Bi-Tone | EAA Witness Elite "MATCH" | XD40 Service V10 ported "Custom" | Ruger LCP | S&W M&P15 w/EOTech | GSG-5 L | FN FS2000 w/EOTech
Shoot to kill! They'll stop when they're dead!
Not a Glock armorer!
When I was in LE, my department issued the G21...I have shot it extensively as I was an assistant range officer. I think it is a fine weapon, but a bit on the big/chunky side. I found recoil to be very controllable and a fun gun to shoot. But at the end of the day, I opted to carry my own P220.
No experience with the HK or XD although I have casually shot an HK USP 9mm. It (HK) was also a fine weapon and fun to shoot.
I guess for me I have always loved the single stack mag and therefore went with the P220.
My $.02!
This I gotta hear.
XD9 SC 2 tone | Glock 19 "Cogan Custom" | HK45 | HK P7M8 | HK P30 | Kimber Eclipse Pro II | Springfield EMP | Glock 19 TALO Limited Edition | S&W 1911 Doug Koenig Edition Bi-Tone | EAA Witness Elite "MATCH" | XD40 Service V10 ported "Custom" | Ruger LCP | S&W M&P15 w/EOTech | GSG-5 L | FN FS2000 w/EOTech
And the MK 23 is the Desert Eagle of .45 ACP's
I'd take a stock USP .45 over an HK45. I don't bow down to the latter just because Vickers had something to do with the development.
"You see, Doctor, God didn't kill that little girl. Fate didn't butcher her and destiny didn't feed her to those dogs. If God saw what any of us did that night he didn't seem to mind. From then on I knew... God doesn't make the world this way. We do."
FWIW, I know that some here visit or belong to some of the more tactical or LE-oriented forums, and I read those regularly. Two of the better forums IMHO (due to the quality of the posts which is driven by the experience levels of the members) are: 10-8 Forums, and M4Carbine.Net. On these forums, the ONLY plastic .45's that are really considered as serious plastic .45 alternatives by the large number of folks I've seen are:
* Glock 21
* Sig 220
* H&K 45/45c
A few comments about the above:
The Glock 21 is in fact widely used in the LE community, but there are some big names out there that think the Glock 21 is seriously unreliable. One of them is Larry Vickers himself. I've seen threads over at M4Carbine.net and other places where Vickers extremely frowns on the 21. And other folks that are experienced in the industry and well known, like Todd Louis Green, and Dr. Gary Roberts (the ballistics expert) have problems with the 21. Now if you love the 21, don't shoot the messenger, I'm just passing on what I've heard.
The Sig 220 has had a big following for a long time, but with some of the recent entries to the market (like the H&K45 and the M&P), the 220 appears to be falling out of favor. People that have had them for years and like them will keep using them (and they SHOULD, if they work well for them), but my sense is that most folks who are looking for something new are turning to the newer designs. The 220 is known for being very accurate, and personally I'd use it over the Glock, but I agree with what seems to me like the general consensus, which is that the H&K and the M&P are slightly better choices.
The H&K has really taken off and become popular quickly. And the compact model is almost as popular as its larger brother. Note that there was/is an issue with the full-size H&K right out of the box, something about an awkward spot on or around the trigger guard that needs to be modified a bit. Vickers admits this and recommends that if you have a full-size .45, you send it to Bowie Tactical to modify that issue. But apart from that, the H&K is supposed to be about the best thing going in plastic .45's. You probably aren't going to find anything MORE reliable than the H&K, and it goes without saying that it'll be accurate: it's German engineering.
The M&P is the newcomer to this group, and is catching up fast. It's extremely well built with a strong frame and rails, and is probably close to the H&K in long-term reliability and durability. Yes there is the issue with the striker assembly and dry firing, but note that (a) this does NOT affect reliability under normal firing conditions, (b) there are workarounds (such as using snap caps), and (c) S&W knows of this issue and is enhancing the striker design. The M&P is extremely accurate, has already proven to be reliable (though you do need to be aware of the dry firing issue if you do a lot as in hundreds of weekly dry firing pulls), and has many nice ergonomic features that make it an excellent competitor to the H&K. Some big names in the shooting community, including Vickers himself, and Hilton Yam, have endorsed the M&P as a great choice.
Of the plastic pistols shown here, the M&P is the one I have enjoyed firing the most, although I don't yet own one in .45. I just love 1911's too much to spend limited funds on a plastic .45 right now, since (to me) it's just too inferior of a shooting experience. However, I do own M&P's in 9mm, and like them a lot, probably as much as any plastic pistol I've tried. I'd probably recommend the M&P .45 mid-size or compact, or if you don't like that, the H&K45 or 45c.
Those who beat swords into plowshares usually end up plowing for those who don't. --Benjamin Franklin.
The proof is all over the place.
I know mine outshoots most every gun I've ever owned. It shoots on equal with any high end custom 1911 I've ever owned.
Do a search anywhere, and that's exactly what you'll hear from everyone.
Show me anything to the contrary.
And the mark23 is one of the most highly regarded 45s ever made. YOU'RE the one who is biased by personal opinion. All you have to do is read to know that you're wrong.
And I don't care about Vickers' influence on anything. I don't buy into that BS.
Show us a more accurate .45 in polymer.
XD9 SC 2 tone | Glock 19 "Cogan Custom" | HK45 | HK P7M8 | HK P30 | Kimber Eclipse Pro II | Springfield EMP | Glock 19 TALO Limited Edition | S&W 1911 Doug Koenig Edition Bi-Tone | EAA Witness Elite "MATCH" | XD40 Service V10 ported "Custom" | Ruger LCP | S&W M&P15 w/EOTech | GSG-5 L | FN FS2000 w/EOTech
The FNP-45 seems to be somewhat under the radar. Haven't heard much feedback on it at all.
BanditSRT8 = HK fanboi
And saying the MK 23 is one of the most highly regarded .45's ever made is a joke. Go back to the HK forum and have more kool-aid.
"You see, Doctor, God didn't kill that little girl. Fate didn't butcher her and destiny didn't feed her to those dogs. If God saw what any of us did that night he didn't seem to mind. From then on I knew... God doesn't make the world this way. We do."
The SIG 220 isn't plastic...
I have an HK USP45 Tactical. Its pretty cool. Massive, though. But fun. But if I was going to drop that $1k on a pistol again, I'd just go with a 1911. The match trigger is really nice though, compared to most other da/sa triggers I have experience with. I have a regular USP and a USP Compact, both in 9mm, that are great too, and I got them BOTH for the price of the Tactical.
For the best all-around plasticool .45 I'd probably suggest the USP Compact.
And when we fall, we'll fall like Rome.

Basics of the welding process
Welding is a complex matter, a science in itself. Different materials require different welding processes. Here is a basic outline of the most common techniques.
As the simplest and lowest-cost welding process, MMA welding is suitable for the workshop and construction industry above all.
DeltaSpot is a new resistance spot welding process that provides increased stability and reproducibility of results.
CMT is a modified MIG/MAG process that for the first time enables steel and aluminium to be joined using heat.
LaserHybrid is a high-performance process that combines the advantages of the MIG/MAG process with those of laser welding.

Would a .30-30 Lever action be a good enough Garbage Hits The Fan rifle? Or should I bite the bullet and still go after an AK or AR.
Printable View
Would a .30-30 Lever action be a good enough Garbage Hits The Fan rifle? Or should I bite the bullet and still go after an AK or AR.
If the garbage is deer, there's only one of them, and it's less than 50 yards away, then yes, a 30-30 is good enough.
To me the RIGHT lever would be an excellent weapon for the GHTF thing.
A lever with a 16" bbl. A lever chambered in .44mag,.45LC,.454 Casull,and on the low powered end,the .357 Mag. But with the excellent loadings now (180 and 200 grain hard cast) the .357 is right up there.
In the SHTF thing you will need a fairly accurate long gun. A weapon that is capeable of putting rds. on a man sized target out to 150-200 yds. (not miles,as some people think) All the above can do this. AND !! with a magazine capacity of 8-10 shots.
Also one weapon that can be loaded like a .22,down the mag tube or thru a under side hole in the mag tube. Not thru a loading gate. Also unloaded by unscrewing the end of the mag tube and simply dumping the rds. out.
With the proper fiber optic(if sturdy) sights,or even night sights this would be a great "close" in defensive weapon.
Not a M1A or an FN but a great weapon. ------
I think that a lever action can be a great GHTF rifle! While I have both a lever action and an AR, I would grab the AR first...BUT I think that a lever action, even in 30-30 could handle a good portion of situations that you can throw at it...especially if you do your part.
But come on...you just need an excuese to buy another gun so I'll give it to you. "no the 30-30 won't do...you must go out right now and buy an AK or an AR!" :smile: :smile:
The other great thing about the lever action is that it is non-menacing - recognizable as a 'sportsman's' or cowboy rifle even to the non-gun folks - and not one of those black evil rifles. ;)
The question I have beyond everything else is how much ammo you can store at a reasonable price - and what happens if you have to engage multiple unhappy targets that aren't bearing flowers in their arms with eternal love for you as a fellow human.
I want something a hair faster on follow up shots than a lever or a bolt gun if that garbage transpires.
There are also 30/30 sabot rounds available - posted just as an FYI.
I keep a lever 30-30 in my truck. When it is hanging in the back, it doesn't get any reaction from the sheeple......try that with an AR......
If I'm planning on a fight, I'd rather have the AR (a lot more bullets available).
That being said, I love my 30-30. I have a Marlin 336. It's simple, accurate, Walmart has ammo for it (although I do have reloading dies for 30-30), and best of all, it's reliable. Wanna make them tactical?
Also, I stumbled across this article from Gabe Suarez about the tactical lever action.
Good enough? Yes, they have been since the 1860s (lever guns that is, not the 30/30). :wink:Quote:
Would a .30-30 Lever action be a good enough Garbage Hits The Fan rifle?
They may not be as fast on the follow up shot as an auto, but you need to watch someone who is good with a levergun, they can be damned fast. They are faster at "topping off" the magazine though. The 30WCF cartridge is not a 50 or 100 yard only proposition, you can do some excellent longer range work with them IF you're a rifleman. Here's a cute article by a friend of mine who did some long range work at the Shootists Holiday.
Another thing to research is the ballistics of the old 30-30 vis the 7.62x39, you may find it humorous.
This is the exact subject I have spent the last 2-3 days researching. Here is what I have gathered, and my impressions of the facts.
1) Lever actions are only a tic or two slower than semi-autos.
2) Can be had in many useful calibers, but the 30-30's ballistics are almost identical to the ever-popular 7.62x39.
3) The new Leverevolution ammo extends the effective range of the 30-30. So well placed shots out to 300yrds are not out of the question.
4) If I was not snowed in, I would probably be out buying one today and giving it a try-out at deer-camp this weekend.
5) I have a feeling that the AR/AK guys are going to be very low on ammo very quickly if the SHTF. Not because there isn't a lot of it, but because the tendency will be to waste ammo because there is a lot of it and they can fire very quickly.
Who was it...?....Cooper IIRC,that said,"beware of a man that owns but one rifle,he probably knows how to use it."
This was said about a bolt or lever,NOT an auto.Timed,well placed shots will be the winner in the SHTF thing. Not keep 'em pinned down with a hail of fire,nor, spray and pray.
I'll engauge anyone that has an auto, with the lever built to my specs, at most any of the "truly reasonable ranges".
We're not talkin' sniper stuff here.-------
There ya have it in a nutshell.Quote:
and what happens if you have to engage multiple unhappy targets that aren't bearing flowers in their arms with eternal love for you as a fellow human.
Effective but slow.
and in a gunfight...slow is dead.
One hit is better then 20 misses. The lever action is less likely to jam then an AR. I t can be so dirty that the lever can hardly move but it will still function. I have known people who had leveractions that the only cleaning done on it was top run a patch through the bore after each hunting season, never cleaning any other part of the rifle.
I might concider buying an AK sometime, or if I can come up with the money an M1A. I can buy 3 lever action Marlins for the price of a cheap M1A.
In an emergency I will always grab a lever action first because of the dependability and lightness of the rifle, plus my ability to use it. I have had available and used lever actions since I was 12 yrs old.
If they had issue leveractions in Nam instead of that POS M16 there would be a lot of people still alive who died trying to clear jams.

Two aviators escape unhurt in crash landing
Two lucky pilots escaped a dramatic crash yesterday when they walked out practically unscathed from their light aircraft after its engine appears to have stalled.
The aircraft was approaching runway 24 in Luqa when the aircraft's apparently engine failed and the pilot had no option but to make a crash landing.
The plane eventually ended up overturned in a field, a few metres from a farmhouse.
Both pilots - Adrian Vella Gera and Swiss national Melina Hunziker - exited their Tecnam P-92J Echo single-engine plane unassisted and with only very light injuries.
In fact, Mr Vella Gera was seen on site shortly after the incident, giving details to investigators who were called in to assist in an inquiry.
Captain Nigel James Dunkerly, from the European Flight Academy, which owns the aircraft, said an Armed Forces of Malta helicopter happened to be hovering over the area at the time and made its way to the crash site immediately.
The airport's emergency services were scrambled after the pilot sent a May Day message just before the crash landing.
Capt. Dunkerly said the aircraft crashed at about 1.10 p.m. Following standard procedures, the pilots "secured the aircraft" as soon as they made their way out of it.
Both pilots hold a commercial pilot's licence, though police sources said they appear to have been on a training flight.
What led to the incident was being investigated, Capt. Dunkerly said, although the police sources said an engine failure was reported.
Aviation sources, on the other hand, said the runway the aircraft was approaching is synonymous with windshear, especially on a day like yesterday. Windshear is a sudden change in either wind speed or direction within a short distance, causing a sudden gain or loss of lift for aircraft. It can easily destabilise an aircraft and is one of the most challenging conditions a pilot can face.
An AFM Bulldog fixed-wing aircraft crash landed near Dwejra in Gozo last month. The two crew members suffered slight injuries. The single-engined Bulldog TMk1, which was on a coastal patrol, was extensively damaged. A micro burst - a strong sudden downward thrust of wind - probably caused the crash.

A few comments:
This subject has been discussed, and can be viewed ad-nauseum here:
I'm the driver in the STi discussed in the thread.
The starter of this thread has been posting some very odd questions/comments regarding his STi. For instance: Who can I get to give me a 50/50 lock on the center diff (adjustable for those who own one would know). He was glad that he bought the 6 speed STi and the not the auto.
These questions, and this thread, lead me to believe we have a "wannabe" amongst the crowd. Maybe I'm wrong. If so, please post pics of you and your STi and I'll humbly beg your forgiveness. If not, please stop with the inane comments, rediculous questions, and poser stories. Maybe you have driven an SRT4, and quite honestly, I would agree with you that it doesn't feel as strong as the STi. But for some odd reason, I suspect you are posting subjects like this to associate yourself with an STi, which you don't actually own. I can't blame you, but dude...c'mon..it's just a car.

School District Cuts

I am a Maadison County Citizen upset at the School Board and the decisions that 120 jobs of aids, cooks, bus drivers, and teachers will be cut, and I Did Not hear of One (1) singles cut from the Central Office. Our School System is as bad as the Big Government of Obama..... We have new secretaries in the Central Office out bragging about making $50,000, which is more than many of of teachers, all of the aids, cooks and bus drivers, who interact with the children everyday, what does the secretary for Floyd and all the assistant superintendents do all day. Why do we need so many assistant superintendents???? Why do we keep pouring more money into the Central Office of the tax revenue, over $7,000,000, yes over SEVEN (7) Million Dollars and these people don't really interact with our children. This is absurd and something should be done to correct this matter. Tighten the belt of our spending and cost, but don't harm the helpless ones at the Central Office, let the kids suffer the most by pink slipping the ones who work with them each day, but lets not interfere with the Central Office Personnel, they are all out of the office helping our economy at the coffee chops, doughnut shops, restaurants, and of course shopping...... Just continue letting the little people and the children suffers the losses.

In the Winchester School District. Equal in total size to Madison County, they are not only building or building on new schools at every location. Also every teacher in the system got a new laptop. Finally, the remaining yearly funds was divided up between teachers and staff, so everyone got a nice bonus. Averaging $600.00 each.
But we only have one Superintendent and One Assistant. No need to pad the main office with screw ups like they do in Madison County so they have an entire staff double dipping from the system.
I would venture to say a "REAL" Superintendent, would yank that mess out and replace it with proper staffing and do away with the dead weight. You know.. He would do his job.
Heck, Madison has almost twice the people Fayette County does and they are three times the size.
You area parents must be complete fools to allow this.
The school Board works for you. The hired help in the office works for the Board. Can you see a solution to your poorer education issues in your county?
#3 Mar 17, 2013
Why don't you folks realize if you truly want change it is done by board member election. Things are as they are and will not be any different unless the makeup of the board changes and I don't see people standing in line to do that thankless job. Not everyone thinks the school system is all that unfair.
#4 Mar 17, 2013
Who said there would be 120 cuts?
#5 Mar 18, 2013
maybe, just maybe, if you improve the graduation rate, the overall scores, and the image of the school, there wouldn't be as many cuts. but as you don't do these things, YOU'RE FIRED!!!!
#7 Mar 20, 2013
Have you seen the scores! MC improved in areas of graduation and ACT!!! Hellllllooooo!!!
#8 Mar 21, 2013
improved????? well, if on a rating on a scale of 1 to 100, and you went from 22 to 24, sure.... you improved. but you're well below average, still under anthing close to "quality education"....
you're still F'ing fired!
#9 Mar 26, 2013
This central office is a mess, and the new secretary stated, and I heard her myself say she made 55,000.00. Why is it that our Central Office has more than twice the people that Fayette County has, and like the person before me stated Fayette County has three (3) times the students?????? Floyd needs to do his job and trim the fat out of the Central Office.... Get rid of the four/five assistant superintendents.....Dr. Hub should have stayed were he was and not moved up after the retirement above Hub, that could have started a cutback which is so needed in this school district. Then Dr Hubs possession had to be filled are you kidding me, will it ever stop, and is Floyd ever going to do his job and take care of the school district & the central office and our tax revenue. Its time the spending become public, too much waste of our taxes, time to stop it Floyd before the citizen demand an audit through Frankfort. It's time for help from the School Board.
#10 Mar 26, 2013
What does it take for you people to realize there are indeed people that believe Mr. Floyd is taking care of the school system. Those people are the board members which you as citizens of Madison County put into office. If you wanted change you would have run yourself or put different people in board positions. They apparently believe things are running quite well and if you don't share that opinion get off your behind and run. Otherwise stop whining
#12 Mar 27, 2013
Get to the next board meeting and voice you opinion.
I like Floyd as a person, but he is not controlling the school system, and he is not avoiding unnecessary spending. Cuts need to be made in the Central Office.....Immediately!!!!!!!
But Floyd does not have the nuts to fire the people he needs to, he is in it just like the rest......Money....Money.....M oney......
And just keep on raising our taxes.....
#13 Mar 29, 2013
little does it matter, cause no one will hear this and my opinion probably doesn't matter, but I will share it anyway. It has always been take care of the ones you like, the ones who kiss your ass always come first, and get ahead in life. Just like in our schools how there is no discipline and we all reward the bad kids in hopes of them not being so bad on this day. Bad behavior kids always win out in this and every other school district, just like the people who work in the system. Kiss enough "Ass" and you will get ahead, kiss the "right ass" and move up the ladder faster. It saddens me to see all the money paid to the people in the central office who don't interact with the children much at all get paid so much money, while the ones working with the children every day get paid so little, they are the ones involved with the kids education and future not the money grubbing central office bunch. Nothing will change it will continue into the future as it has always been in the past, but never as bad as the present "right now" it is pitiful. Mr. Floyd or the board should try to change things and use all the school tax money wisely for a change. Stop living like Obama there really is a limit, an end to how much you can take and spend.
#14 Mar 29, 2013
very true... yes, I hear u and agree totally!! the truly sad part is so much money is missing from the teacher's pension fund that underpay will be the least of their problems. all employees over the age of 45 will be driven out before retirement so they won't know this and yet the board will continue to spend like mad and laugh all the way to the bank
#15 Mar 29, 2013
Mr. Floyd needs his peeps so he can fly around the world to places like Finland on the taxpayers dollar and further his education on the taxpayers dollar and then find himself a high ranking state education position and it will all have been on the Madison County taxpayers dollar. We are worried about money for the future and district employees being laid off and the Board of Education is throwing Floyd money like he is Julious Ceaser. Why are we paying for his education when is makes over a hundred grand a year and at least without a payback clause in case he graduates and then moves on? Thats money well spent. Hell, at least that damn 5 million dollar shrine to Bert (look at me) Brown is anchored to school property and should he leave (fingers crossed) we still have something to show for it. I dont understand why the Richmond Register is not all over this. This is where they could really make a difference in our community.
#16 Mar 29, 2013
Do you people not realize that the education payment was a clause in his contract? If you want to blame someone blame the board that was in place when he was hired for having it in there. I don't know one person that does not take the perks offered in their contract.
#17 Mar 29, 2013
I don't like the new stadium from a spectator's stand point. It's hard to see parts of the field because the stands sit back so far. I expected to see a much better facility for the money spent. When it opened the restrooms were too far away from the home side. Maybe they added more since then. Very disappointed that the view of the field is worse, not better, than it was before.
#18 Apr 4, 2013
I'm just saddened to hear all the negative things being discussed, and nothing/no-one trying to do anything about it. It sickens me to know that there is over seven million dollars yes OVER $7,000,000 being paid to the few working at the central office and talk of teachers, para-educators, aides, cooks, bus drivers, possibly being cut, but not one of the central office employee being released or sent back to actual work with the children, Hell, there even Hired A Horticulture Flower Arranging ex-Waco Elementary something person, to a $55,000 secretary job, while the ones working with the children, whom she doesn't like children, worry about their pink slip at the end of the school year. What is wrong with Floyd, why is Floyd not paying attention, as the one retired and would have cut over a $100,000 position from the central office, but noooooooooo, Floyd moves buddy Hub(Doctor) up to increase his salary and then moved a part time principal who doesn't care for children into Dr Hubs position??????????
Two that don't even like kids gets promoted to the central office making much more than they are worth. The Madison County Citizens will flip the bill as usual in the high tax (School) on property and everything else anymore, just to fill their pockets........Come On Floyd I Know You Are Better Than This...... It Saddens Me For You To Let This Crap Go On By Floyd.....You Know And I Know You Are Better Than This........
#19 Apr 4, 2013
Yeah Richmond Daily Register.....You Should Be All Over This, But Apparently Its Just To Big/Too Political For You To Get Involved. Stay Away From Conflict!!!!!!!!!!
#20 Apr 4, 2013
Who is this secretary? Isn't this more than teachers make?
#21 Apr 4, 2013
You said that a part time principal who doesn't care for children took "Dr." Hub's place. May I ask, who is this person?
#22 Apr 4, 2013
I can assure you that so much of what is written here is simply false. For example, the uproar over his doctoral program being paid is not merited. As another has pointed out it educational reimbursements were in his original contract, so was time off to pursue it. It was a perk in his contract. Has anyone ever seen Dr. Doug Whitlocks contract? All of these people in upper level positions have nearly everything paid. They get a gasoline allowance, clothing, insurance, dental, travel, car,food allowance and much more. These things are commonly included. If you are against this why are you not blaming the board, why blame the person that was smart enough to get this included in their contract? The board YOU elect has all the power not the person THEY hire. If you want issues looked at they are the ones to contact.

Loan Published at
Yannick Boli loaned to Le Havre
Young PSG striker Yannick Boli has been loaned to Ligue 1 side Le Havre until the end of the season.
Yannick Boli, the young PSG youth academy product, will wear the Le Havre top, on loan, until the end of the current season.
Charles Villeneuve:
Charles Villeneuve:
"Yannick Boli has been loaned to Le Havre with a buy-out clause. Paris lets its young players leave in search of more playing time. The difference between his proposed move to Real Madrid and the loan with buy-out clause to Le Havre is the sum of any eventual transfer. Quite simply, it's triple what the Spanish club was offering. If Real Madrid really wanted to sign Yannick Boli, then they would have made more of an effort financially. That wasn't the case. The other aspect is for Yannick's career and the amount of playing time that Le Havre can offer him. It's the best deal for everyone."
