Last school year, four (4) Humble ISD campuses were awarded a total of $17,000.00 from Deerbrook Mall for their participation in the My School's Cool (MSC) program. MSC is a special, community program committed to building relationships with area schools and providing cash rewards for shopping at Deerbrook Mall. Schools compete with each other for the highest accumulation of points per student and earn cash rewards. Participating schools earn points by shopping at Deerbrook Mall and submitting receipts to their school coordinator. MSC primarily targets students, teachers, and parents, but will not be limited to only those audiences. This will encourage anyone who wants to support the program by allowing them to choose a school and submit receipts and/or participate in the other activities.

Len Garis
Fire Chief, Surrey Fire Service
City of Surrey, British Columbia
Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis joined the Surrey Fire Service in 1998 and has worked in the fire service and related fields since 1980. In 2010, he was appointed as an Adjunct Professor at the University of the Fraser Valley's Centre for Public Safety and Criminal Justice Research and then Appointed as an Associate to the Centre for Social Research
In February 2011 Chief Garis became an Adjunct Faculty member in the Part-time Studies Program at the British Columbia Institute of Technology. June 2013 he was appointed as an Affiliated Research Faculty at John Jay College of Criminal Justice / The Christian Regenhard Centre for Emergency Response Studies in New York. In June of 2011 he was elected as President of the Fire Chiefs' Association of B.C. He has also been a member of the FIREfighting in Canada editorial advisory board since 2005.
Chief Garis believes strongly that long-range vision, planning and innovation can reduce costs, improve efficiency and ultimately enhance services and public safety. This notion is supported by international studies, including Rising to the Challenge, a 2008 report by the United Kingdom's Audit Commission on improving fire service efficiency, and Global Concepts in Residential Fire Safety, a 2009 report by System Planning Corporation's Tri-Data division about best practices in Canada and other countries.
In April of 2009, Chief Garis provided evidence for a study on the state of organized crime in Canada to the Standing Committee on Justice & Human Rights. In November 2009, Chief Garis testified to the Standing Senate Committee on the topic of Bill C-15, to increase the minimum mandatory sentencing for serious drug offences and in April 2016 testified before the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Transport and Infrastructure.
On behalf of the City of Surrey, Chief Garis regularly initiates scientific research and data-collection with the objective of developing alternate methods to address public safety challenges and improve service delivery and efficiencies.
Several of these initiatives have garnered awards and recognition for the City of Surrey in the past decade, including the Union of B.C. Municipalities Community Excellence Awards (for four different programs), a Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia Award for Public Safety, recognition from the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General and in 2013 a Community Health and Safety Award from the International City / County Management Association ( ICMA). In 2013 Chief Garis was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal for his contributions to Canadians.
Mississauga Fire & Emergency Services
After 22 years of experience with Canada's 6th largest fire service and with a keen interest in Canada's National Fire Service, I am seeking a position on the Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs Board as a Director-at-Large. I have been a strong supporter of the CAFC for many years with annual attendance at Fire-Rescue Canada and this year participated at Government Relations Week in Ottawa. I have a particular interest in health, safety and wellness of the first responder community and firefighters in particular. As an Ontario trainer for the Road to Mental Readiness program, I have seen first-hand the benefits of current and further efforts in the area of firefighters mental health and resiliency building programs. I have collaborative and innovative leadership style built upon global, national and local career opportunities in both the Canadian Forces and Mississauga Fire & Emergency Services. I hope to further my development through the CAFC CFO Program and continue to contribute and learn as a member of the CAFC Board furthering our shared National agenda.
Acting Deputy Chief Ken McMullen
Calgary Fire Department
I joined the Fire Service in 1997 as a Volunteer Fire Fighter in the M.D of Rockyview, Alberta. Throughout my time in that Department, I was promoted through the ranks and in 2001, became a full-time Training Officer for Rocky View Fire Service. I later moved to become Fire Prevention Officer for the MD of Rocky view.
In 2003, I began work as a Provincial Fire Safety Officer with the Alberta Fire Commissioners Office. With the FCO, I was able to utilize my skills as a certified Fire Investigator and Inspector. I conducted over 500 investigations in a 6 year period and was involved in over 55 fire fatality investigations. Fire Prevention quickly became a passion for me, and I pursued a great deal of Training and Education in all aspects of Fire Prevention, Education and Investigations.
In 2009, I was fortunate to become an Assistant Deputy Chief with the Calgary Fire Department. My previous employment within the fire service has provided him with numerous invaluable experiences such as fulfilling a team leader position with Airdrie Emergency Services, working with municipalities, creating bylaws, reviewing quality management plans, fulfilling investigation and inspection roles, assuming incident command in emergency situations, initiating projects, forging partnerships with other agencies to better the fire service as a whole, serving on a number of committees and attending conferences to enhance my skills and knowledge.
As a member of CANADA task Force 2, I have been deployed to the Slave Lake Fire in 2010, the Calgary Floods in 2013 and most recently as the Task Force Commander to the Wild Fires in Fort McMurray
Throughout my career, maintaining relationship with other emergency services departments has been very important, as such, I continue to sit on the Program Planning Committee for the CAFC for over 12 years, first volunteering with the CAFC conference when Calgary hosted it on 2001. In 2011, I was asked to represent the CAFC on the program planning committee for the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) annual conference.
I was elected as a Director-at-Large to sit on the Board of Directors of the Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs. During my tenure on the Board, CAFC's President appointed me to hold the position of Secretary for the Canadian Division Secretary in the International Association of Fire Chiefs as well as lead on the Mental Health Readiness Program.
As a Director on CAFC's Board, I am seeking re-election to continue to serve CAFC in such a capacity that will help the Association to continue to grow and provide a beneficial service to the fire service across the nation.
I have been extremely privileged to have been a part of the CAFC for so many years, and especially as a Director on the CAFC Board. I have great respect for the organization and I believe now is the right time for me to take the next step and assist with the organization in the capacity of a Director with the CAFC.
Director Daniel Perron
VIlle de St-Julie
I started my career as a volonteer in 1980 and am today the chief of the city of Sainte-Julie on the south shore of Montréal in Québec. Sainte-Julie is a suburb city of 32 000 people with a fire dept. of 43 part-time firefighters, company officers and district chiefs. I also worked in the private sector and for the ministry of public security of the province of Québec as a fire safety counselor. I am a graduate of the University of Montréal in fire prevention and of the university of Québec in Chicoutimi in management (HR and accident prevention). I am currently a regional director and a board member of the Québec Fire Chiefs Association.
I have been a member of the CAFC board of directors for the last year and a member of the national advisory council for two more years. I am putting my name forward for a two year board member term because after a lot of work by a lot of people in presenting many very interesting projects, I want to be part of the team that will put those projects to work and do so on a national basis with a full participation from the Québec wing.
Fire Chief Pierre Voisine
Cornwall Fire Department
Pierre is the Fire Chief for the City of Cornwall, Ontario. Prior to this posting he was served as the Canadian Forces Deputy Fire Marshal, leading one of the largest Fire Services in Canada. The combined experience acquired from more than 25 years of private and public sector management offers a unique approach to fire service management.
As a Director at large, Pierre will work towards clarifying the CAFC mandate, both within its membership and in the eyes of external organizations. "I believe that CAFC needs to increase its membership benefits and enhance its governance structure." Pierre will also endeavor to instill a focused strategy to propel CAFC into the future.

The United States is confronting terrorism in the world, Wall Street has wiped out the fortunes of millions, and healthcare has torn apart the nation, but it is now clear none of these minor events compares with the importance of who can go to the senior prom. At the center of attention these days is not Sarah Palin, but a young woman named Constance McMillen, who had the audacity to request permission to take someone to the prom–and, that someone was another GIRL! A federal judge ruled that Constance has the right to take another girl to the prom and organizers have agreed that all girls are invited, even girl-girl couples.
The Mississippi Safe Schools Coalition is organizing a state wide prom for any gay or lesbian couples who encounter difficulty in their own schools. Of course, the key issue is whether or not boy-girl couples are allowed in gay-lesbian proms. Naturally, groups like the American Family Association are ranting about "schoolyard bullies at the ACLU using an activist judge to force schools to normalize aberrant behavior." What next, transvestite proms?

The change in Urban Meyer could be thanks to improved health. It could be from coaching a team he thinks is slipping under the radar this season.
New quarterback John Brantley has fed optimism through the entire program. National college football fans expect the Gators to fade with the loss of Tim Tebow, but there isn't a player in the Florida locker room who believes it. That could explain the smiles on Meyer's face Tuesday. He feels like he knows something that not many others do.
"I wouldn't be excited if the guy who's taking snaps wasn't really good, but he's really good," Meyer said. "The excitement is about personnel."
Another relief off Meyer's shoulders is having his health issues relieved. His esophageal spasms caused him to announce his retirement before changing his mind, but they put a scare into him that shook his world.
The problem has been diagnosed and taken care of. He ignored the "don't worry about the pain" answers that he was given from doctors, and finally got the answer.
However, diagnosing the problem hasn't only helped Meyer. He has received plenty of feedback from others who were inspired to get issues checked out after Meyer's story.
"I've had ridiculous amounts of correspondents or people who have gone because of what happened say they're going to get things checked out," Meyer said. "With our staff, it's non-negotiable. We're going to take this day and take care of some business here. Coaches are brought into an environment where they work through everything."
Meyer will delegate responsibilities when the season starts. Linebackers coach D.J. Durkin was the special teams coach at Stanford, so he will take the burden off Meyer in that area. Durkin has done "a hell of a job" so far since arriving in Gainesville.
Right now though, Meyer's focus is all on camp.
"During camp, you don't change your schedule," Meyer said. "We've done a better job than a year ago as far as sticking to the plan. We don't need to work on curing the evils of the Florida Gator offense. We just need to make ourselves a little better. The biggest difference on offense is I'm not knee deep in it.
"During the season, I'll make adaptations, but camp is camp. You go and go, then go to sleep and go again.
IMPORTANCE OF CAMP: The Gators spoke Monday night in meetings to emphasize the importance of fall camp. Florida will have 29 practices to figure things out before they open the season September 4 against Miami (OH). After that, they will only have 22 practices through the remaining 11 games.
Progress must be made between now and the first game if players want to see the field.
"All development and accountability is done here in August," Meyer said. "During the season, it's called gameplaning. Big difference. Last year, development was important but like this year and probably like we've never had. There's never a wasted second of our practices right now."
As in most camps across the country, things got off to a sloppy start for the Gators. Meyer can still easily see the talent all over the practice field.
"It's the year of development and accountability, and we're coaching as hard as we ever have," Meyer said. "There is a lot of talent running around on that field. You're going to be excited to see what it looks like. Not now. Awful right now."
INJURY UPDATE: Chris Rainey was held out of Tuesday's practice because of an accelerated heartbeat. Meyer expects Rainey to return to practice on Wednesday or Thursday.
Offensive tackle Matt Patchan will miss 10-14 days because of a hairline fracture in his wrist. Meyer said he will continue to work on the side, and the team will remain cautious with him.
Freshman wide receiver Chris Dunkley is being monitored because of a chronic hamstring issues that has bothered him since the fall of his senior season. Meyer referred to it as a 10-day injury.
FRESHMEN IMPRESSION: Meyer struggled to hide his enthusiasm about the freshmen class. The same shy grin has come to his face when talking about them since his press conference on National Signing Day in February.
"I love them as people, and I like their work ethic," Meyer said. "We'll find out more as we go. We opened that Christmas present and kept it open. I love looking at it."
The gem of the class, especially for a team starving for pass rush, was defensive end Ronald Powell.
"Ron Powell is one of the best high school players I've ever seen," Meyer said. "He's an even better guy. When he came to campus, he stole our heart about being a worker, loving the game of football and wanting to be a Gator. That's a special player."
The expectations for Powell have already gone through the roof. There is talk of him starting at defensive end from the first snap of the football. The Florida staff has tried their best to minimize the hype to keep the pressure off him.
"We're going to try more than ever to do that," Meyer said. "How do you restrict an 18-year-old from being told he's the greatest thing since sliced bread? Then you gotta go coach him."
Matt Elam also looks like an instant impact player. He will see the field as Florida's nickel back after making his presence known in the spring. Meyer said Elam's body was "dumpy" or "chubby" after spring ball, and he changed his body in the offseason to make it "firmer."
"He has earned a spot, and he's going to play," Meyer said. "We asked him to change his body a little bit, and he did this summer. Am I worried about us pumping his ego up? We're just in survival mode at camp. I'm sure that will be a problem once he plays as a freshman because he is going to play."
RECRUITING PHILOSOPHIES: The star-studded recruiting class has multiple players from instate, but others come from the Northeast or California. Meyer said the intention wasn't for the Gators to recruit players from across the country, but it worked out that last year's class had players all over the country that wanted to be Gators.
"We're not trying to be a national recruiting team," Meyer said. "When we find out there's one of the best players in America who has tremendous interest in Florida, we're going to war and we're going to get him. But I would sign the whole state of Florida if we could. The best players are right here. That's why this whole staff came to Florida. Within four hours of this doorstep we've got great football players. But it's hard to turn down someone who is a great player. We're finding more and more of it, but I'm always warning our staff that's not what we're trying to do here."
LEADERSHIP SEARCH: Michael Pouncey and Justin Trattou have already been named team captions. Pouncey's twin brother, Maurkice, left for the NFL, but that hasn't affected him ability to lead the team.
"You can't be a better leader than Mike Pouncey is for our team," Meyer said. "We miss Maurkice, but it's almost like when they separated, he took the load on his shoulders by himself instead of sharing it."
Besides the two captains, Duke Lemmens and Ahmad Black could also be in the mix. It's still too early for Meyer to assess the leadership levels, but he likes the early returns.
"It's just practice number four, so I'd put it around a "B" level," Meyer siad. "You won't know until it gets hard. It's been cool out there, not that hot. Leadership shows up when it's tough, not when it's easy. I'm watching every day as close as I can."
RANKING THE PLAYMAKERS: The Gators have plenty of athletes who can make plays with the ball in their hands. They just don't have experienced ones that will undoubtedly produce. That is what the Florida coaching staff is using fall camp for.
"They haven't earned the right to be called great pieces yet," Meyer said. "They're not. They haven't earned the right to be called that. We've got some pieces that we're excited to see what we can do, but we haven't had a full padded practice yet."
Meyer did mention that Jeff Demps, Emmanuel Moody and Deonte Thompson have likely clinched their spots in the top playmakers on the team. He especially singled out Demps for having a great first few days of practice.
"It's completely wide open," Meyer said. "There are ten people trying to top six spots. Now what order, we haven't determined that yet."
ROSTER DEPTH: Meyer made multiple mention of being happy with the talent on the Florida roster, regardless of age. This could be the most talented roster from top to bottom, but the Florida coaches continue to focus on having depth.
"The minute you do, a junior leaves for the pros and sets you back a bit," Meyer said. "We're pleased with where we are but you never have enough. If they weren't allowed to leave, you'd have a systematic way of replacing them. Now we're thin at safety. If Major stayed, we'd have the best group in the country, but you take one guy out. We've just got to be careful."
LEAVING HIS MARK: Some around the Utah program have given an assist to Meyer after they were added to the Pac-10. It didn't surprise the Florida head coach that they were added, as he thinks it is a perfect fit.
"I think Utah is one of the greatest secrets in America," Meyer said. "I didn't know that until I flew out to interview. I had no intention of leaving Bowling Green, but I walked into the academic center and it's one of the nicest I've ever seen. It's Pac-10 facilities, Pac-10 atmosphere and Pac-10 location. I thought that eventually would happen."
NOTES: Meyer said that if given his choice of punter and kicker, he would still take Chas Henry and Caleb Sturgis… Meyer said Chris Rainey and Janoris Jenkins will be involved in punt returns, while Rainey and Demps will be involved with kick returns. He mentioned Deonte Thompson and Chris Dunkley as other players who will get a look, and they will know more after a scrimmage this weekend… Chris Guido is serving as the team's long snapper, and Meyer said he was doing a great job… Meyer singled out Josh Shaw and Josh Evans as two players that look much improved since the spring. He recognized both of them in front of the team after Tuesday's practice.

Local rally for Ferguson protesters
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The violence erupting in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson has citizens across the country standing in solidarity with the people there.
Impromptu rallies popped up in cities across the country. A couple dozen people gathered on the steps of Colorado Springs City Hall.
"Police violence in this country is at epidemic levels," said Jon Martinez who brought his sons along with him, each holding their own anti-violence sign.
"As a father, thinking about all these young kids that are losing their lives from people that are supposed to be protecting us...really makes me lose it a little bit," Martinez said.
Images of police in Ferguson firing tear gas and rubber bullets, carrying automatic weapons and driving military vehicles has others around the country worried about their own safety.
"Increasingly the police are trained to view the people in the communities they're supposed to be protecting and serving as enemies," said Kara Dansky with the ACLU.
Pressure appears to be working, as media reports indicate a much different attitude from law enforcement led to the first peaceful night in days in Ferguson.

Fit of Slide to Receiver
When I got home I noticed that the WW2 averaged about an inch in width, but over 2 inches in height; new sights are on the way. The loaded averaged a little under 2 inches, but the Commander grouped better,(more rounded) and averaged 2 inches! All shooting was at 15 yards, unsupported.
No longer will I be concerned about the elusive slide/receiver fit on a combat arm.
There's a post somewere here that say's the slide to frame fit is only a small percent of the guns accuracy, i've always belived that a good barrel and bushing fitted properly is the best thing you can do for accuracy, thats not to say a tight slide to frame fit isn't important but i think some people give it too much credit for accuracy.
I have posted on the subject and I don't think I said that slide to frame fit is a SMALL part of accuracy. I have said, and will repeat, that slide to frame fit is LESS IMPORTANT than slide to barrel fit. But one critical factor in accuracy is the way the barrel cams up on the slide stop pin, which in the frame. So the fit of the slide, which has the barrel, to the frame, which has the slide stop pin is important. It does not need to be extremely tight, and can even be loose as long as it does not affect the way the barrel rides on the pin and cams up to lock.
The mechnical accuracy of a pistol is determined by the ability of the barrel to return to the same position when in battery, every time, in relationship to the slide. This is accomplished by fitting the frame and slide together, the barrel and frame together, and the barrel and slide together (I am including the bushing in the barrel fit, if so equiped).
The most important single item in the fitting is the lower lugs, followed closely by the bushing, barrel, and slide fit at the muzzle. Then would come frame to slide fit, and then upper lugs and hood.
As a side note, frame to slide fit is much more important on a pistol using frame mounted sights such as a red dot or scope. As long as the barrel returns to the same position relative to the slide each time, if the sights are mounted on the slide the barrel is also returning to the same position relative to the sights insuring mechnical accuracy. If the sights are mounted to the frame then the slide also has to return to the same position relative to the frame or there will be a misalginment between the sights and the barrel degrading the mechnical accuracy of the pistol.......
Bob you are on the money but practical accuracy for basic combat shooting is not effected by a tight frame to slide fit . Frame to slide fit is part of an equastion only when you trying for 99% weapon ruling out the pistol rather than shooter but for most just good basic skills, good trigger and sights 80 % of accuracy is met if want to split hairs then yes start with the process. I mean just because a new springfield is tighter than a colt does not mean a thing there other parts of the mystery possibly still not right. Factory guns are made to mass specs + or - and as long as they go bang and hit paper they have accompolished their goal . The process of accurizing can be done in phases or just as far as a new bushing or maybe match barrel but if you want the full meal deal it is all the above plus frame to slide fit this mechanical accuracy process brings the tolerances closer and the variables of pistol less ,now coupled with good clear sights and a trigger with crisp let off you now have gun that is repeatedley working in the same fashion round after round .

According to the Miami Herald, both Dolphins RB Lamar Miller and Knowshon Moreno split first-team reps over the past two days.
SMITTY: Joe Philbin claims that the starting gig is up for grabs, but seemed to talk up Lamar Miller quite a bit more than Knowshon Moreno, saying this about the runner: "I like everything Lamar has done since he's gotten here," Philbin said. "He's had an excellent offseason and camp… I like everything he's done since April 21." With a 6th- to 7th-round ADP, there isn't much risk investing in Miller this year, yet there is a lot of upside. Looking for Week 1 Power Rankings?

Dot-Marie Jones on Emmy Nom and Co-Star Cory Montieth's Death
"Extra's" Renee Bargh spoke with "Glee" star Dot-Marie Jones, who snagged an Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series Emmy nomination for her turn as Coach Beiste.
The actress also admitted the news was bittersweet after the death of her co-star, Cory Monteith. "It's a wonderful end to a very crappy week."
Becoming emotional, Jones opened up about her relationship with Cory. "It's tough. He was a hell of a guy and I'll miss him every day… He was present, he was honest, he listened. I especially enjoyed this last season, in which I had days where it was just Cory and me. I will treasure those forever."

Woman Who Says She had Sex with Justin Bieber Could Face Statutory Rape Charges
Teenage girls were shocked last week when a 20-year-old woman filed a paternity lawsuit against heartthrob singer Justin Bieber, claiming he fathered her child. The woman, Mariah Yeater, says the two had a tryst following one of his Los Angeles concerts in October 2010. But the allegations could ultimately hurt Yeater. Why? Because if a sexual encounter did occur, Yeater could be charged with statutory rape.
What Is Statutory Rape?
By law, statutory rape is a crime that occurs when two or more people engage in sexual activity and one of the participants is under the age of consent, meaning they're not old enough in the eyes of the law the agree to sex.
In California, the age of consent is 18 years old. Even if Bieber was a willing participant in the act, it would still be considered statutory rape because he would have been 16 when the sexual encounter occurred and Yeater would have been 19 years old.
Los Angeles Police have acknowledged they're keeping an eye on the case and would consider criminal charges against Yeater if there was sufficient evidence that she engaged in sexual intercourse with Bieber.
Laws Vary From State to State
The age of consent varies from state to state and ranges between 16 and 18 years old. In some states, additional factors come into play when deciding whether statutory rape has occurred. Specifically:
- What is the minimum age of the victim? In some states, the victim must be between 13 and 18 for it to be considered statutory rape. If the victim is younger it's simply considered to be rape.
- What is the age difference between the victim and the defendant? The majority of states also take into consideration the age difference between the parties when deciding whether statutory rape has occurred. For example, in Texas, the age of consent is 17 and the victim must be at least 14 years old. However, there must also be at least a three-year age difference between the victim and the defendant for it to be considered statutory rape.
- How old is the defendant? Sixteen states only prosecute statutory rape cases if the defendant is of a certain age. For example, in Nevada the age of consent is 16 years old. However, the state will only charge a defendant with statutory rape if he or she is at least 18 years old when the sexual encounter occurred.
One exception to statutory rape laws: All states allow minors who are under the age of consent to marry with their parents' permission. (In some cases, a state court may also have to approve of the marriage.) If the sexual relationship is between a husband and wife—even if one is under the age of consent—it is not considered to be statutory rape.
Statutory rape is considered a crime in all 50 states. Typically it's a felony, punishable by at least a year in jail. In some jurisdictions, it is sometimes only considered a misdemeanor crime, which is typically punishable with a fine, probation or less than a year in jail.
"A defendant can be charged with a separate crime for each sexual act that occurs," says criminal defense lawyer David L. Freidberg. "In Illinois, for example, if the victim is under the age of 13, it's a Class X felony punishable by six to 30 years in prison. Each sentence runs consecutively. So, for instance, if someone is charged with and found guilty of having sex three times with someone under the age of 13, the defendant could be sentenced to between 18 and 180 years in prison."
Keeping Your Child Safe
If you're a parent with a teenage child, you may be filling with dread as you read this. Is it still statutory rape if you knowingly allow your sophomore son to have a sexual relationship with his senior girlfriend? Are you abetting a crime if you buy condoms for your teenager?
These are valid questions and legitimate concerns.
In general, state laws do not provide an exemption for parental consent. In other words, an older teen or young adult could still be charged with statutory rape even if the younger child's parents are aware of the sexual activity and approve of it. In fact, in extreme cases the parents of the younger child could be charged with child abuse for allowing their child to enter into a sexual relationship that is considered statutory rape.
All parents should familiarize themselves with the statutory rape laws in their state. And as you discuss human sexuality with your children, you should also consider whether it's appropriate to make them aware of the statutory rape laws in your state.

Katharine McPhee: Fabulous Flapper in the Big Apple
Standing out, even on the streets of New York City, Katharine McPhee headed to the set of "Smash" on Wednesday (January 30).
The 28-year-old singer/actress sported a flapper-style dress, a long turquoise coat, and dark lipstick as she strutted her stuff in the busy Big Apple.
Absent from her side was her little Chihuahua (either Larry or Nena) who frequently accompany her to the NBC set.
Speaking to People about her furry friends, Katharine shares, "They are very polite on set and everyone loves them. Larry is affectionate and needy and Nena is just as chill as they come. But both are very sweet."

Voluntary Product Standards Program
Voluntary Product Standards (VPS) published by the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) are developed under procedures published by the Department in Part 10, Title 15, of the Code of Federal Regulations. The purpose of these standards is to establish nationally recognized requirements for productsand to provide all concerned interests with a basis for common understanding of the characteristics of a product. The National Institute of Standardsand Technology (NIST) administers the VPS Program on a fee-for-service basis.
NIST acts as an unbiased coordinator in the development of these standards. NIST provides editorial assistance in their preparation, supplies assistance and review as is required to assure their technical soundness, and seeks satisfactory adjustment of valid points of disagreement. NIST also determines compliance with the criteria of the Department's procedures, provides secretarial functions for VPS Committees appointed under DOC procedures, and publishes the standards as public documents.
Producers, distributors, users, consumers, and other interested groups contribute to the establishment of Voluntary Product Standards by initiating and participating in their development, providing technical or other comments as appropriate, promoting the use of and support for the standards, and assisting in keeping the standards current with respect to advancing technology and marketing practices.
The use of DOC Voluntary Product Standards is voluntary. NIST has no regulatory power in the enforcement of their provisions; however, since the standards represents a consensus of all interested groups, their provisions are likely to become established as trade customs. In addition, when a Voluntary Product Standard is made a part of a legal document, such as a sales contract or code, compliance with the standard is enforceable.
The benefits derived from Voluntary Product Standards are in direct proportion to their general recognition and actual use. Producers and distributors whose products meet the requirements of a Voluntary Product Standard may refer to the standard in advertising and on labels to promote greater public understanding for confidence in their products. At times, purchasers may order products conforming to the requirements of a Voluntary Product Standard.
Additional background on this program can be found in the Brief history of DOC voluntary standards.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Cool design, but wish it were a bit taller This is exactly what we needed but it's a bit short if you're using it with Bend chairs. We're using it with Loll chairs so it's a great height. I also want to turn this upside down and use it as a basket. Got a tray for the top so drinks won't wobble.

To the people that have complained about the test being "hippie psychology crap" (lol by the way) I have this to say. Generally speaking whites consider blacks to be more of the threat then whites. I can honestly say as a black male that I don't think this makes you "racist" or the test racist. I think it is just a matter of the world we live in. In a lot places the majority of "steet" crime is commited by minority offenders.
Im cool with that though because you white folks generally get the psycho serial killer whack jobs ;) While some white lady might think I am going to try to steal her purse, she generally doesn't think I am going to kid nap her, lock her in a basement, put her panties on my head and eat her kidneys for breakfast the following day
-It is a seriously scary thought that there are subsets of American society that think being intellectual is a BAD thing...

Looking for a little feedback, anyone have any feedback about this company?
I'm looking at the FNP 45 as a carry gun. It's fully ambidextrous, which is important to me as I shoot with both hands, it's SA/DA which I like, and the price is right. It also comes with 3 14 rnd magazines, and has an optional 15 rnd magazine.
Anything not to like here?

Ignorance can be cured. Stupid is forever.
I have long admired the FN pistols. Most of what I have heard has been excellent, regarding function and reliability.
If they made a pistol that was reliable and under 6" OAL in 9mm or better, I would be highly interested.

I have made up my mind on this one. I am getting the FNP 45 also. A little hesitant only because I have yet to put one in my hand and feel it. I have shot the FNP 40 and loved it. But I want the FNP 45 USG.
All the research I have done, all the videos, reviews, etc. has pointed me to this firearm. Not only that, but the FNP 45 is going to be the militarys new standard issue pistol. Cant go wrong with this!

Ok, I bit the bullet. No pun intended. I jogged down to the gun store and picked one up. I've been trying to figure out which 1911 style .45 to get for a long time, and this has a couple features that most of the other contenders don't, like the ambidextrous controls and SA/DA. And everyone that's used one has nothing but good things to say.
I'll post more when I get to shoot it. Maybe I can get to the range for a bit tomorrow before work. If not, I have Thursday off... stay tuned...
FN Herstal...is a European Comapny that includes Browning and Winchester. They are primarily known for their rifles and shotguns....but have made a splash lately into the duty/ccw market of handguns. And YES...they do produce the Hi-power. The 45 is kinda big but wiht an adequate holster and belt, and clothing. I am sure it will serve you well.

Outstanding gun. Built like a tank by a company with a very rich history of firearms. Google them to be amazed. I love shooting mine!
It's not a problem til they make it one!
FNP-45 is my favorite firearm. But that might change next week. I might like my FNP-357 better!!

NO, its not a pocket pistol! Is that the 15rd mag? Good choice of firearms and your pretty lucky to have a firearm shop that can actually keep them in stock. We ordered some from FNH (we are a dealer) but the only ones we are getting in are already spoken for. They are selling like no other firearm in the shop! I have yet to put my hands on one to see how I like it. Cant wait to hear how yours shoots!
Rocky, you just go ahead and enjoy that firearm!
I put 200 rnds through it today. Only had one misfire, but with the DA, just squeeze again and it went bang.
Extremely accurate. At 25 yds I had no problem keeping all 14 shots in the black ring. (And I'm not a particularly good shot) It's very smooth, a little more muzzle lift than with my 9mm pistols, and the recoil is almost the same. Quite a bit louder and deeper though.
And 3 14 rnd magazines! That's almost a whole box of cartridges!
Oh yeah, it's also extremely nice to be able to operate the gun totally with my left hand while shooting lefty. It's going to take some getting used to, but that alone is worth the price of admission.

I, like most people, love The Catcher in the Rye. I don't know any teenager who wouldn't be able to recognise a bit of themselves in Holden Caulfield. So when I spotted 60 Years Later and knowing of all the controversy and the subsequent US ban, I figured I had to buy it.
I've always been of the opinion that Caulfield is Salinger, or at least a big part of him, so it comes as no surprise to me after reading this why Salinger sought to have this book banned. 60 Years alternates between the point of view of Salinger and Caulfield, and every time Salinger's thoughts are on the page I outwardly groaned. It was corny, not clever like in the movie Stranger than Fiction. Salinger was made out to be incompetent, slightly obsessed and deeply troubled. I wouldn't like someone to portray me in a book that way, even if it were the truth! Caulfield had turned into a 76 year old man who hadn't developed in the slightest, and I have a feeling if Salinger had have written a sequel he'd have treated Caulfield differently.
At no point in the book did I know why I was reading it. It was going nowhere, and I was becoming increasingly frustrated with the descriptions of the old Caulfield finding somewhere to piss every five minutes. The Catcher in the Rye was short, sharp and witty where 60 Years Later was the opposite - it just dragged on and on. I read two other books in the interim - I never once looked forward to picking this book up.
I will admit that J.D. California AKA Colting did capture the writing style of Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye perfectly, but mimicking is not creating art.

Things I learned today
- Yellow jacket bees are carnivorous. They carry dead insects into their hive & eat them.
- Honeybees swarm around an entrance and you can actually smell honey in your house if they have nested in your walls.
- Bees in the walls sound like crumpled up cellophane when you hold your hear up to your wall.
- When you think there are only 50 or so bees nesting in your walls...multiply that number by about 200
- And last, but not least. It costs $171.23 to get rid of the Yellow Jackets nesting in your walls.
that sux. hope u can get them out soon.08-16-2007, 05:12 PM #3

BEE CAREFUL!!! I'm so glad you got a professional to get rid of them! These old houses do have so many places for them to swarm!
My sister in laws sister was KILLED by swarming yellow jackets two years ago, in town! They were in the neighbors wall (went through a crack in the window sill) and swarmed at her when she was taking the garbage out.
kj08-16-2007, 05:40 PM #5
Glad you got them out.
We never had bees in the walls, just birds above the door (in the siding on a brace above the door) every time we closed the door, nest material fell down. I have also had a bird build its nest in my door wreath! The baby birds would pop up and beg for food when ever anyone got near the door!.08-16-2007, 05:45 PM #6
Wow - I hope they have an easy time getting them out without too much structural damage. I remember when my mother finally discovered the wasps' nests, underneath the aluminum siding I think, in her house. They can multiply quite a lot before you even know they're there.
Using professionals is important, as my neighbor once learned. He decided to plug up a nest on his house himself, and while he was on vacation, they came out the other side and literally filled his back screen porch. We could see them from next door - scary.08-16-2007, 05:54 PM #7

Thankfully these were all yellow jackets. Had they been honeybees it would have cost twice that and they would have had to remove the honeycombs. Because they were yellow jackets, there's no need to remove whatever nest they have made in the walls. He sprayed some yucky stuff in the hole and they will all die as the foragers come back with their goodies.
As soon as they are all dead & not flying around, dh is going out there with a silicone gun & plugging up all the holes he can find

We had them in all four corners of our house at one time or another. We didn't call a professional to treat because we didn't have the money, but ex son in law used to be an exterminator with his dad. He told us what to do and it worked. When we tore the walls down during our remodel we found yellow jacket nests that were 18" w x 8 ft. tall. We also found out they will eat through plaster board as well as wood.

I think I'm catching on
I borrowed my moms digital camera today for my sons lacrosse game and I didn't need an installation CD or software this and that. According to the instructions all I needed to do was plug the camera into the computer into the PC and away we go. I got as far as putting a picture I took as my desktop background now my question is how do I get to the point to where I can send pics and all that? Geez I'm starting to feel all high-tech now.
As in send pics through e-mail??? Or something else......
I now have the new computer up and running and just tonight ordered the hp printer/scanner/copier. Should be ready to go by next Wed/Thurs. hopefully I will be able to post some camp shots and things.
1) Start with a new email message opened and click to "insert a file" you can then browse for the file picture file you want to send. double click on the picture and it should load to the email. Hint: I like my picture files arranged as "thumbnails" it's easier to find the one you want. also when you down load your pics the PC will ask where? Create new folders in "My pictures" for different activities.
2) Find a picture you want to send and right click on it and look for "Send to" the computer should open an email with the file already attached.
It's not as hard as it seems when you first start. It won't take long and you will have it down pat.
there is a a lot more to these goofy boxes than i know. timbergoast you need to start an account at a site like photobucket.com. its free. then it will ask you what pics you want and will automatically take you to your pics on your pc. upload the pics you want to share. once you have created an album with photobucket, you can share your pics with the world by clicking on the img button under the pic. its a cut and paste type thing. start your post, get your pic, right click it into your post, and thats pretty much it. as i think joel found out its a good place to keep pics cause you can lose them if your pc pukes on you. good luck and its not that hard to do.
yep i saved alot of pics that way.photobucket is free just takes a little getting used to
OK I have an account on Photobucket.com and have 1 picture that I'd like to send to this site. Am I doing the e-mail pic option or something else, and am I sending it to Deerhuntersclub.com? Please pardon my ignorance.
Go toyour account on Photobucket.com. Underneath the photo that you want to send click on IMG code. This will "copy" the photo into Edit. Then go to this sight and open up a thread and write a reply or start a new thread. In the message area, place your cursor where you want the photo to appear, then click on Edit on your top bar, hold your mouse button down and scroll down to "paste". Click on "paste" and you're done. You won't see the photo in your meessage box, but it will appear when youy send in the message. Give it a shot, and if you want any more help, just holler. Good luck.
Here's one from out my back door:
after the IMG click i just go to my post, set the flashing curser to where i want the pic to be, and right click the mouse, then left click on "paste". nice pic

GM disc/disc master cylinder
I'm running four wheel disc on my truck. The front are standard GM calipers and the rear are 85 Cadillac calipers. I'm running a GM Master cylinder right now, but found that it was for a disc/ drum application and the rear calipers are not functioning due to the lack of volume from the master cylinder. I need a disc/ disc master cylinder. Anyone know which master cylinder would work? I need a manual application with the deep plunger. Any recommendations on piston size? 1" 1 1/8"? What year is commonly used with disc/ disc applications. Thanks guys.
The most common one used by street rodders is the 67-69 Corvette 427 435hp four wheel disc brake MC. It can be had in either power or manual. This is one example.
I also had 4:1 pedal ratio and a 7" dual diaphragm booster.
The same master cylinder with a deep pushrod hole and a 1" bore (different part #) can be used for non-power use. Pedal ratio will need to be 6:1 minimum with 7:1 being best.
Both front and rear reservoirs will be the same size.
Thanks guys, that's what I was looking for. I'm running a 8 inch booster our of a 64 Buick Special (that what came with it when I bought it!). The GM master cylinder bolts us to that nicely, but for whatever reason, I have to use a manual master cylinder with it because of the long pushrod on the booster. I have no idea what pedal ratio I have???? Anyone recommend the master cylinders on ebay?
I checked out the Corvette MC's. I noticed the ones for power brakes come with a bore size of 1 1/8". The manual ones come with 1.000". I have to use the manual MC for my booster. Is there a big difference between the 1 1/8" and 1.000" bore size? Will I be OK with the 1"? Any help is appreciated.
It will probably be ok but if able to use the larger bore cylinder it will provide more volume at lower pressure which the booster should make up for.
Why start a new thread and muddy the waters
Disc brake Master cylinder
What exact (or as close as you can get) year/make/model/option are you running for:
1) Front Calipers
2) Front Rotors (or dimensions)
3) Master Cylinder
4) Booster
5) Rear Calipers
6) Rear Rotors (or dimensions)
Is your e-brake hooked up? Does it hold well? How far down does the e-brake pedal go? Are you running any other valves in the brake lines other than the adjustable proportioning valve (like a stock combination valve)? Is the vehicle drivable other than the rear brake problem? If so how far down does the pedal go for an average stop? How much pedal effort is required for an average stop?

Front calipers - 74 Monte Carlo GM calipers
Rotors- 11" F150 rotors.
Master cylinder- GM Disc/drum- manual
Booster- 8" 64 Buick Skylark special
Rear calipers- 1985 Cadillac Seville
Rotors- Cadillac rotors. 11"
Ebrake hold the vehicle and I'm using Lokar cables. E brake is a handle not the foot pedal type. I get about 2-3 clicks max. I am only running a Wilwood adjustable proportioning valve which is currently wide open. The front brake work great, and is drivable. The pedal is firm and drops about a quarter of distance. Basically, the brakes work fine, just not utilizing the rear brakes when the brakes are applied or very little if any. I ordered the Corvette MC for disc/ disc and hoping that will cure my rear disc problem. Any other suggestions.... I'm listening! LOL....
I really don't think your problem is the master cylinder (at least replacing just your MC won't fix your problem). Your manual brake master cylinder most likely has a 1" bore vs the normal 1.125" bore for power brakes. However your booster is small so having the smaller master should balance it out ok.
Right away I see one thing. The front calipers are off a full size, while the rear calipers are off something that used smaller "metric" front calipers . So right off the bat you have some extra front brake bias. I'm not a big fan of calipers with the e-brake integrated. They often cause problems like you are having, however it seems like you have gotten the e-brake part taken care of.
In 83 GM started using low drag calipers that retracted the pistons. To make up for this they used a step-bore (aka quick take-up) master cylinder. I don't know what they did to the rear calipers in this regard but it sounds like you might have a mismatch there too.
You turned the prop. valve clockwise all the way in...right?
If you put say 1 click on the e-brake handle will the rear brakes work off the hydraulics any better? Can you pump up the brakes and get the rear brakes to hold better? If so a 2# residual pressure valve in the rear brake line should help.
As for the difference in caliper size you might look into using high friction pads in the rear while using low friction pads up front. Say an EE front and FF or GG rear. Basically a performance pad in the rear and a jobber/fleet pad up front. The parts guy will have to pull the box and you will have to look on the edge of the friction material...I don't think the edge code is in any parts book or online.
If you want to change the master cylinder I would recommend going with a small 83-up double diaphragm booster/step-bore master combo and changing out your calipers to 83-up full size calipers. That would get you a light aluminum master along with the low drag calipers which would be good for both MPG & MPH.

Excellent source of information. Thank you. This is the information I have gotten from various guys who build hotrods for a living. I understand what your saying and it does make sense. Thanks. I was told, that my MC is a disc/ drum MC. which means the front will work sufficiently with the disc brake on the front end. The rear, which is drum, worked nicely when I was running drum brakes. I was told the drum portion has a built in 10lb residual valve in the MC, at the outlet. In addition, the drum portion of the MC will not provide enough pressure or volume to efficiently operate the discs, particularly with full size, Cadillac type calipers. I was told I have to have a 4 wheel disc/disc master cylinder and my brakes will work fine.
I also tried the method you described as clicking the ebrake slighly and then using the hydraulic. There was no difference. The MC is not pushing enough fluid to the rear calipers to push the piston out to the rotor. I also had a problem with the inline taillight switch which is in the line for the rear brakes. A Tee with the switch. With the drum brakes, I had no problem with the taillights functioning. When I converted to the disc in the rear, my taillights no longer functioned. They did come on if I stood on the brake pedal with tremendous force to build pressure in the line. The lights would come on. I wanted to make this easy, but sometimes that doesn't happen. I really don't want to invest in more money in new calipers, etc. I think my first attempt will be to try the disc/ disc MC and see if that works. If not, then I'll switch to different calipers. Or...... I can always reach down and pull the ebrake at every stop. I truly the appreciate the info you gave me and will keep it for future reference. Thanks.
The problem I was describing was NOT disc/drum vs disc/disc but low-drag vs non-low-drag setups. In fact if your master cylinder had a residual pressure valve in it that would be a GOOD THING! The problem is also not the rear brake calipers being too big but rather too small. From what you posted it was as if you took all I was trying to say exactly the opposite from how I meant it. How much was that new supposedly different by being a "disc/disc" master? Will they give you your money back after you install it and it doesn't help your problem?
I hate those hydraulic brake light switches. A switch on the pedal is the only way to go IMO. I would ditch it along with the prop. valve to eliminate as many variables as possible. Verify that there is no residual valve in the master cylinder while you are at it.
I already got rid of the hydraulic switch and went with the mechanic on the pedal. Your right the hydraulic is junk. As far as the master cylinder, a friend of mine works in an auto parts warehouse and I can pick one up for $40. If it doesn't work, he'll exchange it. It's not that big of deal switching out the MC either. If that doesn't do the trick, I'll go to your recommendations. Again, thank for the help.

WTB: Black sport seats or M3 seats
Looking for black sport or m3 seats for my coupe. Seats MUST be full electric/lumbar/heat with minimal wear. I live in NJ so locals would be preferred as shipping would probably be astronomical. I have tan fully loaded seats in excellent condition if someone is interested in a trade plus cash. If not interested in a trade id also be willing to buy outright, looking for complete set fronts and rear but will settle for just fronts since rears seem to be easy to find.
I have black power memory but no heat?
to bad your not in the MIA would have traded ASAP
I will be attending bimmerfest in Maryland on august 6th so pickup/trades can be arranged there too :-)
i have these if your still in the market.
