When I've got more than six miles to pound out, I opt to train al fresco–regardless of temps and wind chill factor. This is why gear matters: It's uber important to be warm and comfortable in cold conditions. Plus, who doesn't want to look the part? So grab a pen and some paper, and make note of my top picks:
New Balance 759 running shoes. At just 8.8 ounces, they're light but still supportive. They've got great cushion, which makes them ideal for distance. They're the perfect pair for pavement pounders with a neutral gait.
Nike Elite low-cut running socks. I'm. Obsessed. With these. Cold as it can be, DO NOT don two pairs of socks. That won't give you extra warmth, just monster blisters. These are comfortable, supportive and best of all, super warm. They're left/right specific and compressive. Do your feet a favor and get a few pairs.
YakTrax Pro. These coils slip over running shoes and give great traction on packed snow and ice. They may look like something straight out of your dad's tool shed, but they're legit. And funky as they may appear, you shouldn't feel them under your feet. I walk and run as I would without them.
Under Armour Armourbite performance mouthwear. This little guy is wacky, but it works. Whether it be the long distance or the bitterly cold, brisk air (or my Type A personality), I can get a little stressed during a training run. The Armourbite increases strength by allowing for improved airflow and less clenching. It also increases endurance by enlarging airway openings (which results in less lactic acid buildup). And it reduces stress by decreasing cortisol production. Pretty darn cool if you ask me.
CamelBak Annadel women-specific hydration pack. It's lightweight and hands free, which makes for a fumble-free thirst quencher. It holds 50 liters of water, so I take a few sips at every mile. Even though it's literally freezing outside, I still sweat (heavily–through all three layers I typically wear) so it's important I stay hydrated even though I'm not thirsty in the same way I would be during warmer days. Plus, it's pretty.
lululemon athletica W Brisk Run gloves. These fit like a glove. But seriously, they're tight but don't cut off circulation, and they're warm but not too hot. They have a pocket for cash money, and the fingertip has a grip so if I'm running with my iPod I don't have to take a glove off to press repeat when Katy Perry and Kanye's E.T. comes on.
There you have it. I may be sporty, but I love to shop. (I'm looking for my next apartment based on its proximity to the Upper East Side Bloomingdale's.) I truly believe that getting great gear can be the ultimate perspiration motivation. So go now, stimulate your body and the economy.
If you're interested in my physical training plan, read on. Here's what my week looked/looks like. Sidebar: Yes, my body hurts. No, I don't have much of a social life.

not so sure
Not so sure I can answer your question ? But I have been looking around for a few months now for a blaster. The things with me is I want something that will work well with rust, paint removal, but not harm trim, glass, etc. And in a perfect world because my blasting space is limited I would like clean up to be fairly easy. Heres what I found out. There is no one machine that will do it all.
Mainly because of the material preferred/needed to do certain jobs. It seems the material itself controls what nozzle you need as well as air pressure. If you look hard enuff you'll find that they are actually blasting with dry ice now a days....LOL Heck you can use different grades of sand, walnuts, plastic pebbles, dry ice, black ice, different grades of glass beads, soda, etc, etc, etc. Problem like I mentioned is they all take different nozzles, air pressure, sometime different feed lines, guns, and even different styles of feed methods, etc. And for the better stuff none of it is cheap. Most of it is EXTREMELY messy and really should only be used in an abonded field somewhere. I have learned that it seems to be cheaper all around to find a small shop that powder coats. Pay them to blast whatever you have and be done with it. I also learned from the guy that has been painting all my cars and motorcycles for the past 20 yrs. that there seems to be problems with some of this blasting stuff and todays paints. And if you are not aware, the whole automotive paint world is changing again I think it's by the end of the year. Everything is going to water base paint. EVERYTHING ! So if your proposed blasted items need to be painted you may want to check around B4 you blast anything by any particular method. Hope this helps in some way !! Good luck !

This is a discussion on "Mozambique" versus "Failure to Stop" within the Defensive Carry & Tactical Training forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Here's a link to my video which is the subject of this post: Failure to Stop / Mozambique Drill - 1.12 seconds - 5 yards ...
Here's a link to my video which is the subject of this post:
Failure to Stop / Mozambique Drill - 1.12 seconds - 5 yards - YouTube
As you can see from the title of the above video, I have clumped the "Mozambique" drill with the "Failure to Stop" drill. Said drills should be differentiated from one another (especially by military standards). The "Mozambique" drill entails 2 shots to the thoracic area (center of mass) followed by an immediate shot to the cranio-ocular cavity.
This drill can be distinguished from a "Failure to Stop" drill in that there is no assessment prior to the head shot. In contrast, the "failure to stop" drill requires an assessment as to status of the assailant's condition prior to making a decision to follow up with a head shot. There are 3 instances when the assailant does not succumb to 2 center of mass hits thereby necessitating a follow-up head shot...(1) drugs, (2) body armor (heavy winter clothing or excessive fatty tissue), or (3) a determined attacker.
I had loosely and lazily used the terms when describing the video. A viewer's input is the impetus for this clarification.
Another point I'd like to make is the importance of periodic videotaping of one's shooting. This video was taken approximately 1 year after my right elbow surgery due to torn tendon and ligament. I noticed that I do not bring the gun adequately to count 2 prior to extension to the target. I came to the realization that I am favoring my right arm and going straight to the target due to the previous and ingrained pain associated to coming up high on count 2.
Wishing you all a great week!

In the Failure to stop drill, would it be wise to attempt targeting the head (brain) while assessing the assailant? I can see how trying to determine the status of your opponant might be difficult while trying to acquire yor sights. But wouldnt it be a good idea to at least began orienting the muzzle toward the head in preperation for the follow up shot if it is warranted?
Sir, I believe you have the drills reversed. The Mozambique drill has the assessment before transition to the head, and the failure to stop drill is the immediate transition. They are very minor differences.

Pistols are extremely underpowered and they are carried (in states which allow conceal carry) because they are concealable. There are reports of threats continuing their attack despite multiple shots to the body. Obviously, shot placement is paramount but some attackers who are under the influence of drugs can remain in the fight for 10-15 seconds despite a direct heart hit. Ability to retreat is also a factor and if you do not have such an option in light of environmental factors then transitioning to he CO cavity may be your only option.
No amount of training can simulate an actual life or death scenario, but it sure beats not having any training behind your belt when confronted by deadly force.
im gonna figure with your amount of smooth that your time with clearing a cover garmet would still be under 1.5
and thats good shooting.
as for mozem's i tend to have 2 seperate targets and deliver 2 shots COM to one, than 2 to the other before deciding if either of them
requires a head shot. this is done as others' working with me will be moving the targets towards me (my range has old style crank target holders).
it 'needs' a head shot if its still moving to me. we tape pictures of guns, knives and 'no shoot' items (like a cell phone )on the IDPA cardboards;
the shooter is blind or back turned till the buzzer. this simulates how something may look or happen when you walk around a street corner.
camera's are good tools and if our group has a 4th, and some one brought one, it will get used.
mostly the targets speak for themselves and we critique each other.

The "Failure to stop" drill should be followed by a shot to the pelvis. The shattered pelvis can puncture the Femoral artery and drop anyone regardless of drug or alcohol intake. They will also bleed out in a matter of minutes.

I have always been taught as the OP described. Mozambique is an automatic third shot.Sir, I believe you have the drills reversed. The Mozambique drill has the assessment before transition to the head, and the failure to stop drill is the immediate transition. They are very minor differences.
Failure to stop is a hammer pair, with a third shot as needed.That sounds like the "box drill" at least thats what it was called in the Marines. Two rounds to each COM, and then the third round as needed.as for mozem's i tend to have 2 seperate targets and deliver 2 shots COM to one, than 2 to the other before deciding if either of them
requires a head shot. this is done as others' working with me will be moving the targets towards me (my range has old style crank target holders).

Ahhhh...it's soo much fun to stir the pot....YOU be the judge as to whether the Mozambique is "two quick shots to the body, pausing, and assessing, and a shot to the head.....OR....is it "two quick shots to the body followed immediately by a shot to the head". From what I'm reading, looks like BIGRED1911 has the correct shot order...LOL
Here's "wiki's" perspective:
Mozambique Drill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mozambique Drill, also known as the Failure to Stop Drill, or Failure Drill, is a close-quarter shooting technique in which the shooter fires twice into the torso of a target (known as a double tap to the center of mass), momentarily assesses the hits, then follows them up with a carefully aimed shot to the head of the target.
The third shot should be aimed to destroy the brain or brain stem, killing the target and preventing the target from retaliating.
Rhodesian Mike Rousseau was serving as a mercenary in the Mozambican War of Independence. While engaged in fighting at the airport of Lourenço Marques (modern-day Maputo), Rousseau was armed with only a Browning HP35 pistol. As he turned a corner, he bumped into a FRELIMO guerrilla armed with an AK-47. Rousseau immediately performed a "double tap" maneuver, a controlled shooting technique in which the shooter makes two quick shots at the target's torso. Rousseau hit the target on either side of the sternum, usually enough to incapacitate or kill a target outright. Seeing that the guerrilla was still advancing, Rosseau made an attempt at a head shot that hit the guerrilla through the base of his neck, severing the spinal cord.
Rousseau later related the story to an acquaintance, shootist Jeff Cooper. Cooper later incorporated the "triple tap" maneuver (two quick shots to the torso and one quick-aimed shot to the head) into his practical shooting technique. Rousseau was later killed in action in the Rhodesian War.
The Gun Zone -- Firearms Lore
"Upon analysis, it seemed to me that the pistolero should be accustomed to the idea of placing two shots amidships as fast as he can and then being prepared to change his point of aim if this achieves no results."
All kidding aside, whether it's two shots to the body, assess, one to the head OR two shots to the body followed immediately by one to the head...The goal is to STOP THE THREAT!...I'll not argue semantics over whether it's Mozambique or Failure to Stop .... JMO
Sometimes in life you have to stand your ground. It's a hard lesson to learn and even most adults don't get it, but in the end only I can be responsible for my life. If faced with any type of adversity, only I can overcome it. Waiting for someone else to take responsibility is a long fruitless wait.
According to the man himself, BIGRED1911 looks to be correct.THE MOZAMBIQUE TWO-STEPAs time passes we discover that there are a good many readers who have not been to school and who are puzzled by our reference to "The Mozambique Drill."
I added The Mozambique Drill to the modern doctrine after hearing of an experience of a student of mine up in Mozambique when that country was abandoned. My friend was involved in the fighting that took place around the airport of Laurenco Marquez. At one point, Mike turned a corner was confronted by a terrorist carrying an AK47. The man was advancing toward him at a walk at a range of perhaps 10 paces. Mike, who was a good shot, came up with his P35 and planted two satisfactory hits, one on each side of the wishbone. He expected his adversary to drop, but nothing happened, and the man continued to close the range. At this point, our boy quite sensibly opted to go for the head and tried to do so, but he was a little bit upset by this time and mashed slightly on the trigger, catching the terrorist precisely between the collar bones and severing his spinal cord. This stopped the fight.
Upon analysis, it seemed to me that the pistolero should be accustomed to the idea of placing two shots amidships as fast as he can and then being prepared to change his point of aim if this achieves no results. Two shots amidships can be placed very quickly and very reliably and they will nearly always stop the fight providing a major-caliber pistol is used and the subject is not wearing body armor. However, simply chanting "two in the body, one in the head" oversimplifies matters, since it takes considerably longer to be absolutely sure of a head shot than it does to be quite sure of two shots in the thorax. The problem for the shooter is to change his pace, going just as fast as he can with his first pair, then, pausing to observe results or lack thereof, he must slow down and shoot precisely. This is not easy to do. The beginner tends to fire all three shots at the same speed, which is either too slow for the body shots or too fast for the head shot. This change of pace calls for concentration and coordination which can only be developed through practice.

Mozambique him, Mozambique him,
If he fails to hit the ground
After two well-placed rounds!
Shoot between the eyes and lips,
No, NOT between the hips,
That should put the goblin down!
With your sights on center chest
Twice you your trigger you have pressed.
If two don't stop the fight,
A head-shot should set it right!
It is best to use a slug
Big enough to stop a thug.
Calibers that start with four
Will better drop them to the floor!
Stop this talk of "failure drills",
For it denigrates our skills.
Failure is a word so bleak,
But I rejoice at "MOZAMBIQUE"!
In full evening dress you stroll
when accosted by a troll
who seizes your maiden fair.
Three quick shots to save the day,
reload, press-check, you're on your way,
and you've scarcely mussed a hair.
Mozambique the bloody creep!
For he's been breathing far too long
and you must shut him down.
There's only one way to construe
the way he points that gun at you.
The time to act is now.
or maybe, for the second part of the above
'Tis unmitigated act
that you need now and that's a fact.
Thank Heaven you know how!
And a recently added contemporary verse (thanks to Alan Taylor).
"If on the dusty Arab street,
Foul Osama you should meet,
With his arms upraised, in full jihadi call!
Mozambique without delay,
T'is the order of the day,
And you'll do a welcome service for us all!

Why do so many people on this board think that people care about being beat by a less expensive car. There were plenty of cars I could have bought when I bought my car. I chose the one I liked best, not just for performance, but for everything it has. I like seeing cars like this coming out. First you heard about the WRX, then the Altima, now this Neon. I don't care if I lose in a race to any one of them. The more competition, the better. It keeps ALL the auto makers on their toes and makes sure they keep bringing out new and inovative products. To the few on this board that can't seem to get price out of their head, WHY? Why does it matter to you what anyone else spends? Do you think I got ripped off? Do you think that I paid way too much because the WRX can perform as well? Why does it really matter to you how much I spent. I am a TRUE car enthusiast who just enjoys cars. When you say stuff like "Give me the extra 30 grand that you paid for your M3 and let me put it into my WRX and I will smoke you", it makes you sound very immature and definitely not like an enthusiast. I apologize to those who did not have these intentions in their posts, but there are some people out there who do think this way and are not shy about letting everyone else know.Originally posted by WRXrumble
I second that. Man those Audi Bimmer MB guys gonna be pi**ed.
First matched or beaten by a mod WRXs a under 30K car.
Now matched or beaten by a mod NEONs a under 20K car.
Life suxs for them


text: OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Nov. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Ferrellgas Partners, L.P. (NYSE: FGP), one of the nation's largest distributors of propane, applauded today the findings of ICF International's independent analysis of the Propane Green Autogas Solutions Act of 2011 (H.R.2014/S.1120). The ICF International report confirms that passage of the bill will reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil, cut greenhouse gas emissions and create as many as 40,000 domestic jobs by 2016. A copy of the report can be found at www.ferrellgas.com/icfi. The Propane GAS Act renews current legislation that encourages investment in alternative fuel technologies through incentives which support the purchase of alternative fuels and construction of propane autogas refueling infrastructure. The Act also extends incentives supporting qualified autogas-enabled vehicles. Together, the bill's provisions help move capital toward propane autogas as a cleaner, domestically produced alternative to gasoline and diesel fuels. "Today's report is further evidence that everyone wins with the passage of the Propane GAS Act; the bill will spark the economy and create good jobs while greening the auto industry," said George Koloroutis, president of Ferrell North America and senior vice president of Ferrellgas. "The Act also recognizes what we've known all along: propane autogas-powered vehicles burn cleaner and require less maintenance than conventionally-fueled models. Encouraging investment in this technology is a no-brainer." According to ICF International's analysis, 84 percent of propane consumed in the U.S. is produced domestically. The gas originates predominately from U.S. natural gas plant production and refinery production from domestic oil. The analysis suggests the Propane GAS Act will reduce crude oil and petroleum product imports by as many as 117 million barrels by 2021. "By supporting a fuel that we produce domestically, the Propane GAS Act will also improve the nation's energy security. Propane autogas is an American solution to an American issue," said Koloroutis.

flat tappet to roller cam
almost stock 350.
edelbrock 750 performer carb
edlebrock performer rpm intake
hooker comp headers
dynomax bullet mufflers.
I was wanting to switch my cam over to a roller cam. The problem I am having is that every roller cam I look up makes power in the 2800 to 7000 range. I'm wanting the roller cam because of the steaper ramps on the lobes and the fact that roller means less friction. I'm not wanting 2800-7000 though. I'm wanting something that is still very streetable. around the 1000-6000 range is where I'm looking to make power.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Roller cams are just like flat tappets in that you can find whatever grind you need. Just get one rated for what you want. They are out there. Every company out there has plenty of them, you just have to ask the techs.
The roller cam will be way more streetable than a flat tappet.
If your 350 block is an older block, you will need to get the right vertical locking roller lifters for it. , or do like a friend of mine did,he went to a junk yard and found a newer 350 block that came with a roller cam ,and took what he needed off that block and had the machine shop fit it to his block... it saved him some money.. I would have went that way if i new about that. but i went ahead and bought everything..
i just did that same exact same thing-going over to a roller---just look at the comparison charts-most cam compines have...my new roller-is almost- exact to my street rv-towing cam---i know-lunatti has this chart on holleys web site--give it a look at and you atleast beable to find what you need-and then some...
thanks-for all the info in your posts lluciano77--i read all of them. thanks for taking the time to really write a reply that helps begginers like me....
Your welcome Alaskan.
I can be a smart *** at times, but the rest of the time I do my best to give honest, experienced backed info.
thanks for the link... I think I will go with this one. It also lists this one under the blower section so it will be good for if I want to put a supercharger on her.
HYDRAULIC ROLLER, Good idle and street performance. Improved over all power and mid-range torque.
268° 276°
215° 218°
.489" .503"
.326" .335"
115° Sep 111° Int C/L
sound good?
The lift is too low for the duration. Get one with more lift with around the same duration. That is too close to flat tappet specs. Take advantage of the fact that it is a roller. Go with a faster ramp.
Is that a 115o lobe sep?
You probably want a 112o.
do you have a stock bottom in that thing? Hope not, its going to grenade on you at 7k for sure. Also, you might want to scale back your original cam choice just a bit, considering your intake runs out of gas at 6500. Lastly, I would go with a flat cam, unless you really need the extra power and have the extra 600 bucks for it.
2000-6400 power range
298°286° lift
227°234° lift at .050
.478".480" duration at valve
.319".320" duration at lobe
112° Sep 108° Int C/L
2200-6800 power range
300°310° life
242°252° lift at .050
.525".540" duration at valve
.350".360" duration at lobe
110° Sep 106° Int C/L
are either of these better?
I was wanting to keep the power band in the 1000 to 6000 rpm range, these are more of the 2000 to 6500 range.
my 350 is in a 72 c-10
As I stated in the beginning, I'm only wanting power in the 1000-6000rpm range. I don't plan on spinning it past 6k.
Yes it is the stock bottom half.
No those are too big.
I would try and find somethin with 215o to 220o of intake duration @.050. See if you can get over .520" lift. Again, 112o lobe sep. should be good.
those were the three hydraulic rollers in a row. I would probably have to go with a custom ground cam. Out of those 3 which would you say?
your stock bottom end redline is about 5500 RPM, with an OCCASIONAL 6000 R's maybe. Don't run it any harder than that, it will let go any higher. WHy get a cam that makes power till 6500 R's when you don't want to push it higher than 6k? A comps 274 is as much as I'd run practically. If you want to take a step away from practical just for the sake of having a decent cam, a 280 magnum would work.
Out of those the first one sounded the best. Keep looking there are more grinds and more companies to get them from out there. A cam is a big decision. It isn't easy to quickly change out like a carb would be. Take your time and research and read. Call the techs at the cam companies also. Some are helpful and some aren't, but overall you will get closer to making an educated decision.
Try other companies:
Crane Cams
Comp Cams
Crower although they are expensive
270 - 276 duration
218 - 224 duration at .050
.495 - .502 lift
110 sep
276 - 282 duration
224 - 230 duration at .050
.502 - .510 lift
110 sep
the first 3 were lunati, these 2 are comp
I think the first of the comp may be good.
I'd have to see the rest of the specs for those two. What do they recommend as far as compression, gear, or stall?
I'd say off hand the first one might be better. I'm split between the two. If the second one had a 112o or higher lobe sep., it would be best.
Here is one that is okay from Crane Cams:
It would be nice if it had a little more lift.

This is a discussion on iPod shuffle bites the dust, or, Why I hate eBay within the Off Topic & Humor Discussion forums, part of the The Back Porch category; My oldest son wanted an iPod Shuffle for Christmas so my wife convinced me that we could get him one off eBay and a greatly ...
My oldest son wanted an iPod Shuffle for Christmas so my wife convinced me that we could get him one off eBay and a greatly reduced price. There was my first and biggest mistake, eBay, Gads.
We found one, bought it for $80 and it arrived in the mail. It was a reconditioned one. I didn't notice that in the online ad but when I went back to look, there it was in the very fine print buried in a ton of text.
It being nearly Christmas time and what with us having 5 kids to shop for, I was quite busy. So, I never tested the stupid thing to see if it worked as it should. Mistake number 2.
A Hastings store opened not too far from our house and they had iPod Nanos on sale for $100 and Shuffles on sale for $40! Boy that steamed me up.
My daughter wanted a Nano so we got her one and my son one as well. But we already have this stupid Shuffle right. So I told my wife that I would just keep the Shuffle.
Well, here it ism Christmas morning and my daughter has spent the whole day loading up her iPod with all her music and I asked her to put some of my favorites on my new-reconditioned Shuffle.
Well guess what boys and girls? The stupid thing doesn't work. Not at all. Powers up, but iTunes doesn't even recognize it as a Shuffle, it sees it as a USB storage device and will not let us use iTunes to place music files on it.
After trying for several hours to get the silly thing to work, I reached my ultimate limit and the little blue iPod Shuffle impacted the kitchen floor at a high rate of speed thus separating it from several other parts of itself. Problem solved.
Of course, my $80 is as good as flushed down the toilet but I sure felt good watching that piece of junk come apart. Not much inside one of those stupid things either.
I'll get myself an iPod Nano like theirs when they go on sale again or I just will do without like I have my whole life up until now. No biggie.
Lesson learned again, don't buy electronics off eBay.

I quit doing business with ebay a while back, paypal too. You really have to do your homework buying from ebay, their whole "square deal" thing is not for the faint of heart.
There may be some good deals to be had, but not for me anymore. I'd rather go somewhere that will honor their product. At lease someone I can see face to face.

The old ''caveat emptor'' Mike ain't it - altho on balance much can be had from ebay successfully.
I have had some good deals more often than not but for sure electronics stuff is perhaps the most likely to bite back.
I got a 4Gb USB flash stick a while ago - puter (both in fact) would not see it as any good - couldn't even format. Wrote the guy and in fairness he sent a substitute/replacement and sent other one back - very dutifully.
Replacement was no good either .... even tho a known make (Samsung IIRC). So - gave up - too much hassle to keep returning stuff - plus discovering soon after some 2Gb Memorex units at Circuit City for a mere #17 each!
I am iPod illiterate, and had no idea what a ''shuffle'' was - or even a "nano" ....... must be my advanced years LOL!

Sorry to hear that the Christmas present went bust. Last year, I bought a refurb iPod from this place for my stepson (which still works great BTW): http://www.expercom.com/
Only problem is - once they sell out, it takes a while for them to get more inventory in. And they are pretty well sold out now due to it being Christmas.
Yep, electronics like that are a no buy on ebay. My Mac, my nano, my iPhone and any other Apple related product has come DIRECTLY from Apple.com or an Apple retail store.
Any problem I have ever had has been promptly repaired or replaced at no additional cost to me in accordance with my warranty.
Apple really stands by their products as long as said products come from them.
Sorry your shuffle was a muffle.. It will free you up to get an iPod Touch or something equally as nifty!

I buy and sell on Ebay all the time. It is still possible to get great deals but, it's getting tougher.
I never crook any of my bidders and I am always 100% upfront and honest about anything and everything that I sell.
There are still many fantastic sellers on Ebay though it's sort of been taken over by the mega "drop shippers" and the home based business people.
It sure is not a small, tight, community anymore like it used to be when I first started on there.
I've also never had any trouble with Paypal.
The IMPORTANT thing to remember about Paypal is NEVER pay any attention to any Paypal E-mail.
Never link to anything from a Paypal E-mail. Just go into your My Ebay from Ebay or access Paypal from an Ebay page BECAUSE everything that is legitimate concerning your Paypal account you can review from on Ebay from Ebay.
That way you'll never get get scammed.

The only good part of that story was that you didn't give it to your son on Chistmas morning. That would have sucked.
eBay is a buyer beware environment. We check feedback, we leave positive feedback for those who have a good transaction with us, and send a note immediately to those who we have a problem with, explain the problem and give them time to respond. No response = negative feedback. Even the large eBay stores will respond if you give them sufficient time and explain the problem to them.

Check out Apples refurb site. http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPL...nclm=Certified
I got my last 2 macs, and an iPod. They come with the same 1 year warranty, and 90 days support, as the new ones do. Not all of the products are there all the time. So you will have to check back.
If you don't protect your self, who will?
Thanks for the links and the advice all. I wouldn't mind having a Nano now that I have fiddled with the ones we got for the kids. Pretty nifty little gizmos.
I'll check out the apple re-furb site when I am ready to take a crack at it again. I might just stick with guns though, the original point and click interfaces.

Hey QKShooter,what is your Ebay user name? After our little bit of business on this forum, I'd trust buying anything from you via Ebay. As for my over 100 Ebay purchases so far I've had no problems. I do my homework though.

I carry a Colt Delta Elite 10mm in Milt Sparks VM2 with 2 extra magazines on my belt. This is normally worn on a belt under my bib overalls and works great for me. My wife carries a Walther PPS .40 w/Crossbreed holster.
yep. there are very few things i buy on ebay.

Assigning IP address to VLANs in SGE2010P
Hi. Recently purchased 5 SGE2010P 48-port switches to replace older L2 switches. I have 4 switches in single stack and one as a standalone. Both the stack and standalone will connect to at least 1 Dell 2724 switch. Both the stack and the standalone Cisco are in Layer 3 mode.
I have created several VLans on the Cisco switches, and am trying to assign an IP address to the VLan, but cannot seem to figure out the web gui. Each time I try to use Systems > System Management > IP Addressing > IP Interface, then click Add, it simply changes the existing IP of the management interface. So, I'm not sure how to go about assigning an IP Address to an Vlan.
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Interesting coming from The Gospel Coalition especially. Tim Keller's "CenterChurch" I don't think would take this position. Though I think he would understand that the right has/is being marginalized.

Matar Paneer
Last year was a bad year for peas in Simsbury. There was too much rain and the peas did nothing. Maybe I got one meal out of them. As the snow fell in January, Priscilla and I sat by the fire with a cup of tea and a basket full of seed catalogs. We browsed through the seed write-ups, dreaming about next year's garden. We tried to imagine which peas, peppers, brussels sprouts, lettuces, or onions would do well in our Connecticut soil. We strategized on how to rotate our crops this year to defy the squash borers or the cabbage moths without using poison. We tried to guess how much of each vegetable our family would want to eat in 2010. Priscilla lives five minutes away and like me she has an organic garden. She spends every available moment during the school year and all summer amidst her tomatoes, raspberries, blueberries and her 1000 heads of garlic. She and I often plant different vegetables or different varieties and then share our harvests.
No matter how we try to plan and prepare, we never know how it will all work out. Anyone who actually thinks they have a leg up on Mother Nature is in serious denial. Last year's peas were a no go for either one of us. But this year the vines – both snow and sugar snap – are spectacular. They're strong and healthy with their fanciful, curling tendrils supporting bunches of crisp, sweet, shockingly green peas.
The snow peas were in a perfect state to pick last Thursday night when I stole up to the garden to have a peek. They were big enough to have a satisfying crunch, yet small enough to be sweet and tender. I was leaving for a wedding in Philadelphia Friday at noon. Dilemma. Could I cook them? Could I eat them? I knew I could not ignore them; they were too provocative, too beautiful.
"I'll make an early lunch. It won't be too much of a push and we can enjoy them before we hit the road," I mused. I felt at peace. I took my gathering basket and picked three cups of gorgeous pea pods. I decided to honor them in the best way I know how to honor a pea. I would make Matar Paneer, the North Indian dish made with paneer (homemade cheese), onions, tomatoes, and of course, peas.
In a rare moment it was 8pm and the house was totally quiet. The silence was sensual, enveloping, soft and pregnant with possibility; nothing to disturb my focus or creativity. I imagined my Matar Paneer and what I would need. In my mind I could see the pea pods, floating in their savory sauce of onions and tomatoes alongside those golden cubes of paneer, all sizzling gently in the pan. I checked the pantry: milk and limes for the paneer – yes; tomatoes – yes; fresh ginger – yes; and a special plus, Anjuli's garam masala.
Anjuli is in Portland now. Before she left Connecticut she made garam masala while I was away traveling in Peru. It touched me to come home and find her ground and roasted spices smelling sweet and fresh and a little astringent all at the same time. I breathed them in, thinking of the matar paneer and how she would have loved to have picked those peas. I felt as if she were there cooking with me.
I washed, stemmed and strung the glistening, emerald-green peas. I got out a big pot, put a little water in the bottom to prevent the milk from burning, poured in half a gallon of whole milk and put in on to boil, thinking about how it would magically separate when I added the lime juice. After it separated into paneer and whey I strung it up in cheese cloth and set the cheese over a bowl to catch the whey. And after it drained I put the paneer, peas, and whey in the fridge in anticipation of making the dish Friday morning. With half the work already done, I felt I could pack in peace and cook the following morning without feeling rushed. I can't always get it together to celebrate life with gusto. When I can, I always feel proud that I have been able to honor life the way I feel it deserves, just as I honored my peas. -Weezie
1/4 cup water
1/2 gallon whole milk
Juice of 1 – 2 limes
Boil the milk. Pour water into a large pot. Add the milk. Bring to a boil over medium low, about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Separate curds from whey. Once it comes to a boil, add the juice of 1 lime. Stir. If the milk does not completely separate, add the juice of 1/2 of the second lime. Stir. If it does not completely separate into light green whey and curds, add the juice of remaining 1/2 lime. You need enough lime juice to split the milk, but not more or it will taste too much of lime.
Matar Paneer Serves 6
Fresh peas or pea pods will be infinitely better than frozen for this dish. Their crunch and sweetness in contrast to the rich, savory paneer is the highlight of Matar Paneer.
4 tablespoons ghee
1 teaspoon fennel seed
Paneer from 1/2 gallon whole milk
1 Vidalia onion, 1/4 inch dice
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
2 medium tomatoes, 1/2 inch dice
2 teaspoons ground roasted coriander seed
20 grinds of black pepper (or to taste)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 cup reserved whey
1 teaspoon turmeric
3 cups of fresh shelled peas or pea pods, or frozen peas
2 teaspoons of Anjuli's garam masala (recipe below)
2 tablespoons fresh coriander, minced
Note: If using pea pods, you must remove the stems and string them.
Assemble the dish. Add the whey and turmeric and stir until well combined. Pour into the frying pan. Add the peas or pea pods and garam masala. Let simmer until the peas are tender but still have some crunch. Add the fresh coriander.
Serve. This can be served with fresh chapattis or basmati rice, white or brown. Enjoy!
Anjuli's garam masala
1/4 cup coriander seed
1/4 cup cumin seed
1/4 cup fennel seed
1 tablespoon chipotle
All the spices should be dry roasted in a frying pan on medium low until aromatic and then finely ground. We use a coffee mill that is designated for spices.

Via AAAS ID
The progressive depletion of quiescent "bystander" CD4 T cells, which are non-permissive to HIV infection, is a principal driver of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). These cells undergo abortive infection characterized by the cytosolic accumulation of incomplete HIV reverse transcripts. These viral DNAs are sensed by an unidentified host sensor that triggers an innate immune response, leading to caspase-1 activation and pyroptosis. Using unbiased proteomic and targeted biochemical approaches, as well as two independent methods of lentiviral short hairpin RNA–mediated gene knockdown in primary CD4 T cells, we identify interferon-gamma–inducible protein 16 (IFI16) as a host DNA sensor required for CD4 T cell death due to abortive HIV infection. These findings provide insights into a key host pathway that plays a central role in CD4 T cell depletion during disease progression to AIDS.

Correct Origin....
Just to share the correct origin as I called G&B to find out. Its Dominican Republic and Ghana. A bit odd as they are so far flung from each other but hey, makes a great product. Use this to make cocoa and all things in baking where cocoa powder is required.

Comments about oreilly Getting Started with Pyparsing:
I used the book just as its title suggests: to get started with Pyparsing. It worked great, it's easy to read and helped me to check that Pyparsing was indeed the tool I was looked for. A bit more of a systematic overview would be nice.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Good intro, but not a complete reference
By vorpal

For a python newbie, this book was surprisingly easy to follow. However, it only gives an overview of the library and so in development you'll need to use the net for questions that come up.

Decent overview of a nice Python tool

About Me Developer
I needed to write a context-free parser in Python to translate English-like queries into SQL. PyParsing was the tool I needed and this book does a good job of getting one up to speed with this library.If you need to write a parser in Python, have some idea about what recursive descent parsing is and know exactly why regular expressions won't cut it for you, this book can be of help.

OK, so there is one developer who invented pyparsing. He is brilliant. He did everything. He wrote a short book. But the whole thing is still undocumented. This guide will not help you do anything that is not done in this book. The help in the python code will not help you. Until someone other than the coder writes a description of some software, you can be sure the documentation follows the pattern"Gobbeldeegook: Applies Gobbels to deegook. Sometimes you have to dee before gook, but that is obvious. Returns Gobbels.Gobbels: what comes out of Gobbledeegook.deegook: everyone knows what a deegook is. By the way, you might want to try using class SomeUnDocumentedFeatureClassThatIsNotDiscussedAnywhere.Save yourself much time, forget this whole pyparsing thing. Spend a month learning re. It will be quicker than learning enough to solve a 2-hour string parsing problem. The developer is swamped refining code and solving everyone's problems in forums and message lists.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Last weekend I turned 30 (woohoo!) and decided to have my birthday celebrations at a new bar in Fitzroy. It's a tiki themed bar called LuWow, and it's pretty amazing inside.
This is a (professional) photo of the front bar. It's all bamboo screens and wicker chairs, fake plants, hanging lamps, leopard print, etc.
Photo by Kristoffer Paulsen
Out the back there is a room where bands play and go-go dancers dance on little podiums on either side of the stage. It's more like a Polynesian temple out the back, lots of carved "stone", fake snakes and tarantulas, vines covering the ceiling with lights hanging down in the shape of fruit, skulls dripping blood and impaled on spikes, that sort of thing!
Alice (as usual!) made me a lovely dress for the occasion. It is of leopard-print matte lycra, and is basically a shorter version of the black dress I'm wearing here. The front is made in three panels, the middle one of which is lined at the back with heavy satin, and the boobs and halter strap are also lined like this, so they don't stretch.
My lovely friend Zoe got into the theme with a floral shorts playsuit and the most amazingly high wedges.
With my man, Mr Macska, looking very smart.
Tiki themed bars were very popular in the 1950s and 60s. Two men lay claim to inventing the Polynesian-themed bar/restaurant, Trader Vic and Don the Beachcomber.
Victor Jules Bergeron (better known as Trader Vic) opened a tropical-themed restaurant called Hinky Dinks in California in 1934, which later became Trader Vic's, and grew to a chain of 25 restaurants, which still exist today.
His amicable rival was Ernest Raymond Beaumont Gantt (known as Don the Beachcomber) who also opened a Tiki bar in Hollywood 1934, called Don's Beachcomber Cafe. While he was away in WWII, his wife developed the business into a chain of 16 restaurants.
Both men claimed to have invented the Mai Tai, a sweet, rum-based cocktail. Here's a recipe for one, from Sally Draper's Cocktail Cheat Sheet II by Dyna Moe. I never thought I liked rum before, but this is just the kind of drink I like - sweet, fruity and with lots of ridiculous garnishes!

This is proving to be a trying period for the News of the World and its ebullient editor, Andy Coulson. Today's arrest of its royal editor is the third major controversy involving the newspaper in the last three weeks. First off was the reversal in the "red mercury" trial, in which the paper's investigations editor, Mazher Mahmood (aka the fake sheikh), saw three men acquitted after he had given evidence for the prosecution. Second was last Friday's loss of a high-profile libel action launched by Scottish politician, Tommy Sheridan, in which he was awarded £200,000 against the paper. Now comes another damaging episode which has the potential to ruin what's left of the News of the World's credibility.
The vastly experienced Clive Goodman was one of three men arrested this morning on suspicion of intercepting phone calls at Prince Charles's London residence, Clarence House. According to Scotland Yard, three royal staff alerted police to repeated security breaches within telephone networks some months ago. It appears that police have since been working with phone engineers to monitor phone lines and track past calls. It also appears that the police have also been investigating phone call interceptions involving other royal residences and, possibly, non-royal houses too.
The News of the World's owners, News International, confirmed tonight that Goodman was in custody helping police with their inquiries. Goodman has enjoyed a fine record of royal revelations over the years and is widely respected by rivals for his skills. He is thought to be at Charing Cross police station with two other men detained in Sutton this morning. The two men are said not to be News International employees. It is known that detectives have also searched business premises in Wapping, Sutton and Chelsea connected to the investigation. The three men were arrested under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000.
Of course, we are in the earliest stages of this remarkable turn of events. But it is yet another blow to Britain's largest-selling newspaper, the Sunday red-top that has been at the centre of so many controversies throughout its history. I have been a forthright critic in recent years of what I regard as its cavalier attitude to journalistic ethics. On the face of it, this does appear to be a further example. Over the years, News International's ultimate chief, Rupert Murdoch, has been very supportive of his paper's editors. But can he afford to allow this situation to continue? The News of the World is becoming the story, and therefore attracting the kind of bad publicity that might well cause an even faster decline in its sales. Coulson has a lot to worry about just now.

Settle down, Dawg. I must have missed your invitation to visit your site, but with an impending divorce and the end of the fiscal year at work, I guess I've been a little distracted. But I personally have no problem with a Browns fan paying us a visit.Quote:

Its all good, I understand everyone is cautious when someone pops up on their board, like i did. There are plenty of people out there that are of ill-intentions. Believe me when I said I scouted for a good Ravens message board to approach and you guys were the best, far and away. Good members and the staff has their heads on right..good stuff here, you have to protect it!
ahhh..Romeo...no one knows what he was thinking, but he did the same thing in the Dallas game.
I have never been a supporter of the Fat Man...30 years as a bridesmaid and never a bride...makes one wonder huh?
Oh I made this sig just for Romeo...
I'm pretty respectful of Cleveland fans, because they had to go through the same thing we did. I'm glad we got a football team, but I'm not happy about the way they came here, since the same thing happened to us. I had a nice chat with a Cleveland fan earlier this summer, and we exchanged pleasantries and compliments about each team's situations...also we exchanged our hate of Steelers fans.
I'm never comfortable about a divisional game, there's too much at stake and both teams know each other too well. It's what they say about the definition of a rivalry...a rivalry means a matchup where there's something outside of the on paper matchup that can throw a game either way. Cincy beat us TWICE last year, and look how they played two weeks ago. That kind of change can't be pinned on FA losses or any one player.
That said, here's 3 ups and 3 downs for the game Sunday:
1. We had an extra week to rest, digest the playbook, and season Flacco
2. Cleveland has shown they have some major problems on offense, and I believe that's got to stem from poor OL play. Jamal is not the type of back who can run to get you a lead, he grinds out yards to control the game clock and protect a lead. If we shut down their passing game, like we did against the Bengals, our D front can handle Jamal.
3. It's a home game, get the crowd into it
1. 2 weeks can also throw off your rhythm
2. Cleveland is probably ramping up in the face of 2 straight losses and the possibility of a 3rd. A bye week here would've helped more, but maybe, just maybe, they use this as an opportunity to rally the troops
3. The Cleveland D is better than the Cincy D, so I think Flacco will need to be cautious with his passing, watch out for OL getting beat more, and our RB will need to be on their top game to get the yards against the Cleveland DL.
Jamal will not do squat against our defense, which looked great against the Bengals. Of course, the Bengals apparently suck, so the Browns will probably be a better test. But our run defense looked as good as it ever has against Cincy, so any positive plays the Browns get will likely be through the air. And if the defense could shut down Carson Palmer, why shouldn't they shut down the Browns?Quote:

any speculation as to a former HC (Brian Billick) with a Ring might be interested in going to Cleveland after RCren gets canned?
at least the Brownies put up a fight against the Squealers last week instead of dying like dawgs as they has lately.
To be fair, we said last year that Jamal wouldn't run against our D, and he did.
Jamal has just not looked himself this year, but I think part of that could be the low carries. We knew Jamal's best carries came towards the end of the game, when he'd punished defenders in the bad carries.
The question is, does Jamal have the stamina to go through that still, or is his body starting to wear. I think he's starting to wear out a bit and you'll see him get to retirement in a few years. I think he'll have another 1000 yard season or close to it this year, but next year's season will be VERY tough for Jamal.
hey shit brown i think you need a reality check jackass.
last year is GONE.who cares you beat us twice.look at your team this year 0-2 dummy sitting down in the bottom with the other shithole bengals take your time and get the hell off this site.
whoever has the authority to get rid of him please do he is a total senseless jackass
he hasn't really been attacking, he's just engaging in some friendly smack talk...Don't worry, our defense will do the talking on Sunday...
Derek Anderson, enjoy some clear vision while you still have it, because after Sunday, you'll be seeing some STARS!
Who cares if a Browns fan wants to come here and see what is really going on. I would too if I wanted to find out about the Ravens since the national media ignores us.
I like anyone who is a football fan even if they happen to live near the mistake by the lake and root for the Clowns, his little blurb about the blood stains on the SB was fighting words, but you started it, and they will never feel like they should not have been the one with a SB and us as the donkey expansion team who has had like one winning season in 40 years or whatever.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 184.108.40.206

Google Co-op is a community of organizations, businesses, and individuals working together to help improve Google search.
Major implications for the traditional webmaster and SEM marketer?
This really sounds to me that if you are a credible enough authority on a subject then Google are saying you are welcome to massage our results for us.
Could this be the beginning of the end of a computerized Google algorithm that represents listings in the top half of the first page?
Could this be the beginning of the end of a computerized Google algorithm that represents listings in the top half of the first page?
It looks like a step in that direction.
Authority figures in their field will soon have the ability to "set" the SERPS?
Of course, that brings its own inherrent problems and concerns. I'm not sure that I see it as "better" than link structure and traditional SE measures of "authority".
At the moment, it will follow that only "authorities" that you subscribe to will have an effect on your SERPS. It remains to be seen how effective the program turns out to be, but there is a very strong possibility that it completely throws a spanner in the works for traditional SEO (if there is such a thing).
One set of SERPS for me, another set of SERPS for you. Getting "in" with the known authority figures may become a big element of SEM.
Could this be the beginning of the end of a computerized Google algorithm that represents listings in the top half of the first page?
Beginning has been long ago.
Remember the friendly Dutchman? Remember hand tagging of results by Google as "Vital"? No news here... just more smoke.
People want relevant search results and they don't want to fart about subscribing to various Coop thingies.
Totally barking.
this would be as directed above, first half of result page, the other part will be normal search result and third one will be topic centric i.e. do you mean?
Remember that new layout testing?
It's just not going to happen, is it? - the only way this will function is if Google steadily increases the number of "experts" that users are automatically subscribed to by default.
That is no doubt the intention - we will find there is a category of "trusted" experts and the SERPS will be increasingly controlled by this cartel.
The number of annotations that a website has from "trusted" experts will become yet another "quality signal" that affects rankings - whether or not users refine their searches.
It won't just be "trusted IBLs" that matter, but "trusted annotations" as well.
What will that do to the freshness of the SERPS?
Which is a good strategy if they've given up on being able to stay one step ahead of the spammers. At least now the spammers will be using google's platform to achieve their goals.

Interactive algo training/building experiment. Mere addition of data channel. The learning machine needs more data. "More data!" Nothing unexpected here, nor a permanent shift to human sorting, yet great science experiment. Wish I could be in the design room. Looks like a lot of fun. Run as a discrete test on one data center. Reminds me of Deep Blue versus Gary Kasparov chess match.
Google Deep Think build v1.0: "The answer is . . . 12 . . no, no, no . . 49 . . no, no . . wait . . "
Google Deep Think build v3.3: "The answer is . . . buy phentermine now . . no, no, no . . . "
Google wants to understand exactly what the user wants. But when a user queries "movies", what does she mean? A DVD? Local movie listing? A movie database perhaps?
Queries of the broad nature are, IMHO, precisely the problem that Page and others mention when they say that they want to give the users exactly want they mean.
So how do you solve that problem?
You can have automated system that extracts concepts. We already know that Google understands concepts to a certain level, that is, it can, at the very least, identify sister concepts to a major concept.
So how about this: Google wants to "reality-check"/"refine" is its own conceptual answers against human answers.
The dilemma they face is spamming. On the face value it seems like the simplist answer is to choose Coops that cover a variety of topics.
but the people they pick to "adjust" results
They don't pick people. They let algorithms that measure search result satisfaction pick from data that people submit. Being a submitter with lots of money doesn't necessarily help you. Being a guy who just wants to plug his own website definitely hurts the odds of your "refinements" ever being selected for widespread use.
Remember, if your "refined" results don't look like any kind of improvement, that "remove" link is right there in front of every user, every time. It's much, much easier to unsubscribe to a publisher than to subscribe in the first place.
People want relevant search results and they don't want to fart about subscribing to various Coop thingies.
True. That's why you don't win by getting a million users to subscribe to you (which you could never do). You win by getting a modest number of subscribers in your niche to subscribe to you, and attracting enough Google attention (or algorithm attention) to say "Hmmm, maybe this guy's topic refinements are worth a test with the general public."
Just like Google every once in a while takes my page 8 listing and puts it on page 1 to test whether it deserves to move up in the ranking, they can auto-detect plausible Co-op "topics" and test them by randomly dropping them in front of the general public (people who didn't subscribe to you, who aren't even necessarily logged into Google). If they measure satisfaction at that point, then they can put that snapshot into the general search results -- and go right on testing, including testing revisions you make to your original "topics".
Sounds somthing similar but not exactly as dmoz for search results!
Exactly. It's a framework for distributing the work of editing a directory. You get a different (and arguably richer) set of tools for presenting your "directory" information to users. You get Google algorithms instead of meta-editors deciding which "editors" are going to have their "work" ever see the light of day (appearing in the main Google search results).
It will be interesting to see if any of the folks who constantly rant about dmoz will invest effort in this. Here's your chance to make your own directory. You just have to do all the work for your niche, sell people on subscribing to it, and then be good enough quality that Google actually someday wants to use it. I suspect many of the folks that get rejection slips from dmoz will likewise be rejected by the Google algorithms associated with Co-op.
It has the potential to really mess things up.
That sentiment usually comes from people who don't understand how difficult it is to spam. It has no more potential to mess things up than any of the other hundreds of factors that go into deciding what Google's going to display for any given search query.
All speculation on my part. I have no inside track other than having played with it more than most.
This is where the Google PHD's and the common folk (like me with a four year degree) diverge. I don't "get" it, don't need it and can't afford the time to even understand it.
Marissa was in a vulnerable mood the day they put this in front of her.
End of opinion - end of story...

South African Jewish Women
Hadassah International Research Institute on Jewish Women, November 1, 1999
In South Africa, the segregationist policies of the colonial authorities, the Boer republics, and the Union, followed by the apartheid system of the past fifty years, form the inescapable frame for all who live in South Africa. The complex processes involved in the post-1990 unraveling of the apartheid regime constitute the country's current socio-political reality. This paper is a preliminary attempt to situate the little that is known about South African Jewish women, in relation to the Jewish community and the wider society.

Here's a link with help cd's that you may find useful. Good luck.
I'm still a newbie and now that I've actually gotten over the first hurdle of just learning how to strip/clean and fire my gun, I'd like to improve my marksmanship. Anybody got a photo demonstrating the proper (i'm assuming this is relative) grip. I have an XD9 tactical.
I am planning to take a basic course but I'm still recovering from the initial cash outlay for the gun and stuff to clean it. Maybe someone knows of a link. Thanks for the help!
You might check out this thread on our sister site tacticgunforum:
Our good moderator, Mike Barham posts some excellent photos.
Never argue with drunks or crazy people.
You'll get this in your class... but a basic grip starts with your shooting hand. Sorry, no pics but here's a poorly done description of proper shooting grip.
Grip the gun securely but not too tight (you don't want to white knuckle it).
Index finger should be straight forward along the trigger guard until you're ready to shoot. Your other fingers are where the actual gripping strength come from. They wrap under the trigger guard.
Your thumb should rest the opposite direction around the tips of your middle and / or ring finger.
Your off hand can either A:
Cup under the butt of the pistol and wrap up around your shooting hand
Or B:
Place your off-hand index finger across the front of your middle finger and wrap your fingers around your closed shooting hand. Thumbs should rest together, side-by-side... or off hand thumb just below shooting hand thumb.
Use your off hand to pull back and "set" your grip. Your shooting hand and arm should be rigid, straight. Your off hand pulls back and creates pressure against your shooting hand shoulder.
Thanks you guys. I was away for a couple days and just checked in. I appreciate the help.
Google Todd Jarrett and you'll see a You Tube video of him discussing the proper grip and sight picture.
i did and i will watch it a bunch of times thanks
Ditto the advice to watch Jarrett shoot (also Rob Leatham, Matt Burkett, Brian Enos, etc, etc.). The thumbs-forward grip in use by virtually all the top practical shooters is the way to go. The old cup-and-saucer, low thumb, Weaver high-thumb and other techniques are pretty well obsolete now. Use "The Grip."
If you can find a copy of J. Michael Plaxco's Shooting from Within, buy it. It is probably the best investment in shooting skill you can make outside of a class from one of the above shooters.
I'll check that out. Thanks!

Wow!!30mpg you must not drive over 25 mph.
Hmmmm.. I presume your commute is downhill in both directions?
My commute is like 38 miles highway, 7 miles backroads each way. But yeah a lot of 2k shifts and 65 mph on the highway with relatively little traffic gave me that. But is sitting at like 29.4 now with 210 on the trip at half a tank. Its painful to drive like this, I just wanted to see whats the best I could get for a whole tank
Car is completely stock, I had to put on my granny panties to pull this one off
Damn that's pretty impressive. I don't see better than about 17 mpg in my STI...I don't drive conservatively at all though...

I tried driving around shifting at 2k for a bit when I first got the car. Then I bumped it up to more like 2500/2700 and didn't notice much of a difference in mileage. Throttle probably makes a big difference. I did feel like I was more often close to bogging the engine when shifting at 2k though, probably puts it in high load situations a lot more.

yes 30 is the highest the MPG thing goes. ive gotten 30.0 mpg before right after i filled up on gas, reset my trip, and drove a freeway all the way to my house. i got 30.0 mpg for a semi short time. but it went down and only down
yeah i'm filling up on the way home so i'll tell you what it actually is. and i know, it was painful to drive my car like that. I just wanted to see how high i could get it.

After Colorado Media Matters items, KHOW's Boyles complained about "the Democratic Party ... or their butt boys"
Following Colorado Media Matters items (here [1], here [2], here [3], and here [4]) noting 630 KHOW-AM host Peter Boyles [5]' misinformation regarding the case [6] of federal immigration agent Cory Voorhis and Gov. Bill Ritter's (D) record as Denver district attorney, Boyles complained on his December 3 broadcast that "the Democratic Party, party operatives, or their butt boys that are out there on the Internet ... they scream, they call me a liar." Boyles also referred to his critics as "little rabbit-faced trolls."
A federal prosecutor recently charged Voorhis with misusing his access to a criminal database to get information later used by 2006 Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez's campaign in an ad against Ritter.
From the December 3 broadcast of 630 KHOW-AM's The Peter Boyles Show:
BOYLES: Well, what I think now is fascinating about this Voorhis story, coming back to it, is Bill Ritter -- there's no doubt -- allegedly gave guys like this Walter Ramo these bogus plea bargains -- heroin possession. He takes that walk of, you know, try and find a farm -- takes the federal, takes, excuse me, takes the agricultural trespass plea; goes on out to California after, quote, gaining his freedom; and gets charged four counts of molestation of a little girl in San Francisco. Now, the Democrats came out and, "Well, that's not true." And they were screaming, "And that's not true." That's right, it wasn't true, because the charges were dismissed because the parents and the little girl -- the parents were illegals; the little girl might have been an anchor -- they vanished because they were afraid of being in the limelight. So imagine the Democratic Party, party operatives, or their butt boys that are out there on the Internet, that talk about children and women and defending the immigrant, the illegal immigrant, and the rest of it -- will defend Ritter's decision only because this Walter Ramo bogus plea-bargain deal that ends up in the child molestation, that they scream, they call me a liar because that isn't true in California. Well, yeah, he was charged, and he got away with it. Now, here's my other question to you little rabbit-faced trolls: Where is Mr. Ramo today? And why hasn't Mr. [Mitch] Morrissey's office brought Mr. Ramo back, because he's clearly violated his agricultural trespass agreement, has he not?
Although it has not addressed since October 20, 2006 [7], Boyles' claim that the man he identified as Ramo committed "child molestation," Colorado Media Matters has identified [8] numerous other falsehoods Boyles has dispensed about the Ramo case and the plea-bargain record of Ritter's office.
Moreover, as Colorado Media Matters has [9] noted [10], Boyles previously has applied the slur "butt boys" to others with whom he disagrees.
