Greensburg Salem bowlers eye singles success
After winning two consecutive WPIBL and Western Regional team championships, the Greensburg Salem boys bowling team has enjoyed a recent string of success.
But after losing a group of talented seniors, both the Golden Lions boys and girls teams were faced with somewhat of a rebuilding season in 2014.
With the regular season now over, the boys team finished in third place in Section 1 at 6-4 while the girls are currently second at 7-3.
While every head coach aims to win a championship each season, Greensburg Salem's Greg Piper adopted more of a realistic approach entering this year, knowing the talent that had departed.
"Going into it you know what your potential is …," Piper said. "I went into this year knowing it was going to be a completely different team than we've had in the last couple and that we were going to have to work a lot harder to come anywhere near what we've done in the past."
While Piper's teams are out of the WPIBL team playoff picture for this year, they now shift their attention to the Western Regional singles event March 7.
The Greensburg Salem boys team will feature seniors Brandon Doumont and Adam Bernard, along with sophomore Zach Heater (196), a bowler who Piper has high praise for.
"He's very talented. … In the past, he's been better at singles competitions than team competitions," Piper said of Heater. "We're looking forward for him and the rest of our seniors to have a good outing."
The girls team will send all six of its bowlers to the event. The Golden Lions have a unique roster that features three freshmen along with a trio of seniors.
Freshmen Kyra Shrum (163), Gianna Brant (166) and Racheal Heater (173), Zach's cousin, complement seniors Marissa Falkosky (165), Courtney Auman (166) and Molly Gaetano (187).
Piper credits his freshmen's experience in the junior league for their immediate impact this season and has high expectations for his top bowler, Gaetano, at the regional championships.
"She's definitely our best girl so we're looking for her to light 'em up," he said. "She should have no issue competing against everybody else."
While Greensburg Salem will miss out on the team aspect of this year's postseason, that doesn't change the fact the Golden Lions could still boast individual champions as the season draws to a close, that is something Piper is pushing for.
"There's no reason why they shouldn't be at the top," he said. "Especially with our seniors, they're very experienced. We shouldn't have an issue being at the top. The knowledge is there it's all going to come down to execution."

TV Legend Andy Griffith Dead at 86
The TV community lost a legend today as Andy Griffith passed away at the age of 86. According to Deadline, Griffith's former co-star Ron Howard revealed that Griffith's health had been in decline "for some time," so the actor's death was not sudden or unexpected.
Griffith had a long career in entertainment, but he was most famous for two TV roles. The first was his role in "The Andy Griffith Show," which was where he and Howard worked together. The show was a huge hit in the 1960's, and also helped make comedian Don Knotts a household name as well.
Griffith returned to TV in his second big role in the 1980's, playing the titular detective in "Matlock." The show was popular during its run, but is also famous for having a mostly older audience, lending joke material to many sitcoms throughout the 1990's.
Ron Howard probably said it best in his statement following Griffith's death:
"His love of creating, the joy he took in it whether it was drama or comedy or his music, was inspiring to grow up around. The spirit he created on the set of The Andy Griffith Show was joyful and professional all at once. It was an amazing environment. And I think it was a reflection of the way he felt about having the opportunity to create something that people could enjoy. It was always with respect and passion for the opportunity and really what it could offer people in a very unpretentious and earthy way. He felt he was always working in service of an audience he really respected and cared about. He was a great influence on me. His passing is sad. But he lived and a great rich life."
Griffith started his career with comedic monologues, including a classic about college football. Check out the monologue below:

Okay thank you i apreciate !!
14 actually. I haven't been very serious about it since about 2000 until I got on here. I have had spiral books, and keep the decent pages. Some of my best drawind have been on random shit or given away. I took up djing in 2001 and have been focused on that. Served in the Army for 8 years. I'll post up some shit from when I started writing back in the day.

Cincinnati -- Novel semiconductors produced in the University of Cincinnati College of Engineering are highlighted on the cover of this month's Materials Research Society Bulletin.
The opto-electronic device literally lights up the university's "double horseshoe" logo using gallium nitride doped with the rare earth elements such as erbium, europium and thulium. Together, the wide range of colors nearly duplicates or exceeds the spectrum produced by tube technology and television.
"If you want to have full color, three-color displays based on semiconductor technology instead of tubes ... If you want flat panel displays, this will take up less space and use much less power," said Andrew Steckl, Ohio Eminent Scholar and Gieringer Professor in electrical and computer engineering at UC.
Steckl's Nanoelectronics Laboratory recently received a $1 million grant from the National Security Agency to develop photonic devices which can store and process more information more quickly. A previous grant focused on the telecommunications aspects of photonics.
Both projects require the use of multiple techniques for producing the next generation of semiconductors. Steckl said batch processing is fine for mass producing simple chips, but developing the technology for the new semiconductors required MBE (molecular beam epitaxy) and integrating the circuitry required a FIB (focused ion beam) technology.
"Ions have energy, mass, and charge, so they're the most versatile," said Steckl, explaining why ion beams are preferred over virtually massless electrons and photons which are typically used to make semiconductor devices. "You can use both their energy and their momentum, and you can manipulate them."
In addition, you can customize your chips by changing conditions during processing, which cannot be done with conventional technology. That takes more time, an acknowledged disadvantage of beam technology, but Steckl says the flexibility is demonstrating that FIB and other beam technologies have a future as bright as his opto-electronic devices.
"If I just wanted to make large numbers of the same transistor or laser or waveguide, then I wouldn't need it," admits Steckl. "But I want to make a working circuit. Here, I design a laser, here a waveguide...to that I may add an amplifier or a divider or a combiner or a detector, and so on. Each of these components is going to have different requirements, so that is the problem. We're trying to address how to integrate them. FIB and MBE are two of the keys to solve this problem."
Most important, photonics allows better integration between chips and from board to board. Traditional microelectronics is limited by the number of connections to avoid wires short-circuiting each other.
"Wires cannot cross, so electrical signals sent by wire have this limitation in terms of their density," explained Steckl. "Optical signals can cross, so you can go with much, much higher density. Photonic components are the ideal components for these interconnects."
The ultimate research goal is to develop a storage system which can handle one terabyte of storage with processing times in micro- to nanoseconds. Although Steckl isn't certain of the ultimate applications by the National Security Agency, he does foresee many other applications for his devices.
"Commercial uses?," asks Steckl. "My guess is 'Yes.' The government tends to develop the most challenging applications, because their needs are the most difficult. Some form of that technology generally hits the commerical marketplace and really pushes the technology. That's why it's important to have federal R&D support."
The full-color possibilities of the rare earth-doped semiconductors are also likely to have applications in the medical field. "In biology and medicine, you sometimes need a specific light color or multiple colors to get a clear diagnosis, or trigger a biochemical reaction, or evaluate a biological system and get an unambiguous picture," said Steckl.
Other materials produced in Steckl's UC laboratory emit light in the infrared, a key wavelength for telecommunications. "We have yellow and orange too. We're constantly working on this and having great fun coming up with devices which emit light in various combinations of colors."
Steckl's collaborators in the Nanoelectronics Laboratory are post-doctoral fellows Ron Birkhahn, David Chao, and John Chen; and graduate students Jay Cheng, Robert Chi, Irving Chyr, Mike Garter, Bob Hudgins, Jason Heikenfeld, Boon Lee, and Don Lee.

Port Vue couple continues quest to find answers in son's death
Fourteen months after their son died, disc jockeys Mike and Candy Long are continuing their pursuit of those responsible for his death — and offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction.
"People are starting to talk," Candy Long said on Tuesday. "It is getting out there."
Ronald G. "Ronnie" Long, 36, died on Jan. 2, 2012, a day after he was found near the couple's Port Vue home, not far from the Fifteenth Avenue Bridge.
The efforts of his parents can be seen on the other side of the bridge, along Walnut Street on the way into the downtown McKeesport business district. That's where the Longs posted their sign a month ago, asking for "Justice for Ronnie Long."
The sign asks those with information about Long's death to call Allegheny County police at 412-473-1300.
"They need to come forward," Candy said of those who may have seen what happened, reportedly at the Big Shot bar in Liberty.
At least that's what a letter from someone identifying himsels as "a friend" said.
The letter writer said two men beat Ronnie Long at the bar, then one assailant and his son dropped the victim off along the 300 block of Glenn Avenue Extension in Port Vue.
Mike and Candy Long said they have heard other stories since then, but declined to talk about them.
Ronnie Long died at UPMC Presbyterian. The Allegheny County Medical Examiner's office said the cause of death was blunt force trauma to the head.
The medical examiner's office said on Tuesday that the manner remains "undetermined," pending a still-open investigation by county homicide detectives.
The bar was sold after the incident, reportedly for $40,000.
In October, friends of the Longs, including others who spin Pittsburgh oldies as they do weekdays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at WEDO-810, gathered for a benefit dance at McKeesport's Palisades, where much of the money was raised for the couple's reward.
"It is a pain that will never, ever go away," Candy Long said. "Help us, that is the main thing."
In addition to the "Magic Music" the Longs spin on WEDO, they still take records to monthly dances at the White Oak American Legion.
A dance is set for Saturday at 8 p.m. Admission is $5, Candy Long said, with proceeds to benefit disabled veterans.

the pyongyang metro
guide map of pyongyang
The source for the map and the following text is the hardcover book Pyongyang (Korea Pictoral, Pyongyang, 1990). Of course, some things have changed or been added since then; for example, the Monument to the Workers Party Foundation is a block north of number 33, and Kumsusan Memorial Palace would be just off the map to the north of May Day Stadium. Still, you can use this as a guide as you navigate around Pyongyang on Terraserver.
Like all North Korean maps, it omits all but the most significant detail and is not to scale. The map may be hard to read, due to both the indistinct lettering on the original map and the effects of JPEG compression. For the most part, though, you should be able to make out the following:

Mortality Results from a Randomized Prostate-Cancer Screening Trial
The group assigned to receive more thorough screening for prostate cancer suffered a higher all-cause mortality rate. This suggests it is healthier to simply be unaware of potential prostate cancer, then to screen for it and treat whatever cancer is found.
I'm consistently impressed with how bad our current medical system is.
From 1993 through 2001, we randomly assigned 76,693 men at 10 U.S. study centers to receive either annual screening (38,343 subjects) or usual care as the control (38,350 subjects). Men in the screening group were offered annual PSA testing for 6 years and digital rectal examination for 4 years. The subjects and health care providers received the results and decided on the type of follow-up evaluation. Usual care sometimes included screening, as some organizations have recommended. The numbers of all cancers and deaths and causes of death were ascertained...The incidence of death per 10,000 person-years was 2.0 (50 deaths) in the screening group and 1.7 (44 deaths) in the control group (rate ratio, 1.13;95% CI,0.75 to 1.70). The data at 10 years were 67% complete and consistent with these overall findings.
I'm consistently impressed with how bad our current medical system is.

Missing the Boat.... Literally.: Norwegian Pearl Cruise Review by Silentobserver
Overall Member Rating
Missing the Boat.... Literally.
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
EMBARKATION - Due to weather problems the flight to Miami arrived late. There was a couple from my hometown on the same flight and we both repeatedly called NCL to explain what was going on and find out if we would be allowed to board late. We each received different and conflicting answers, they were told yes they could board, and I was told no one time, and yes the next. NCL denied us boarding when we reached the ship at 3:30 pm. Departure time was 4 pm. instead of the usual 5 or later departure for cruises. The other couple had trip insurance and turned around and went home. I figured that I would lose a day and just fly to the first port of call. Since getting a flight to the first Port, Samana, was deemed "iffy", due to a More frequently closed airstrip, I ended up shelling out almost $1,000 extra to fly to St. Thomas, the second port, and spend two days basically waiting for the ship.
Upon boarding in St. Thomas, the staff at the Guest Services Counter were not sympathetic to my experience at all. I couldn't even get a "we're sorry you were told wrong and that you missed 2 days of a 7-day trip". However, in fairness to NCL, I was given a cabin upgrade to an outside window cabin and there was a bottle of champagne and fruit in the cabin. Needless to say, the trip got off to a bad start.
ROOM - You've heard it all already. The rooms ARE small, but if you have traveled to Europe or cruised before, you are used to small accommodations. The rooms were very nicely finished and had mahogany detailing in the cabinetry similar to what you might find on a fine yacht. Although small, the bathroom in the cabin was so well appointed, I would have been happy to have it as a bathroom in my home. The cabin and bath were spotless and were maintained that way the whole cruise. Again the mahogany trip was carried into the bath and although it was a vinyl covering in the toilet area and shower, it was well done and looked good. Both the toilet and the shower had sliding privacy doors which would have made it possible for two people to be in the bath at the same time. There was shower gel and shampoo provided in the shower, liquid soap dispenser in the vanity area, and a bottle of premium lotion provided in the bath. The room was quiet and enjoyable, except for the last morning, due to it's proximity to the bow thrusters, docking back in Miami was an early morning wake-up call, whether you wanted one or not.
FOOD - If you want to know about NCL's specialty restaurants, ask me. Except for one meal in the Summer Palace dining room, I elected to eat my dinners in the specialty restaurants.
CAGNEY'S The first evening, I ate at Cagney's. I found it to be an excellent steakhouse restaurant. The decor is dark woods, and deluxe all the way. Unfortunately, the paintings of cows, cowboys, and still lives of ropes, branding irons and such seemed a little disingenuous and uninspired for the other upscale furnishings in the room. The food was excellent for any restaurant, though portions are small. That's probably intentional to prevent waste, and based upon the usual cruise ship policy, it would have been possible to request additional portions. I enjoyed the cr�me brulee so much that my request for a second helping was immediately and enthusiastically fulfilled.
On my second visit to Cagney's two nights later, I was not only remembered, but was seated in a completely different section of the venue so that I wouldn't "have the exact same dining experience". A thoughtful touch. At this outing, I splurged and paid not only the $25.00 cover charge, but an additional charge of $10 to select from the premium menu offerings. I selected the surf and turf. Again, the lobster was small and the filet was probably 4 oz. I felt cheated and that I shouldn't have to ask for seconds when I'm paying $35 over the main dining fare. My advice is go and enjoy Cagney's but don't spend the extra $10. The regular selections on their menu are outstanding, and the premium selections are not worth the extra money.
LE BISTRO - ...is considered NCL's "flagship" dining venue (if you'll pardon the pun). Indeed, the art nouveau ambience, (including an original Renoir) is somewhat reminiscent of Maxim's in Paris and is impressive, but... If you are a seasoned traveler, don't go to Le Bistro expecting French cuisine. While, at best, the dishes are French inspired, they are not true French cuisine. If you're looking for French food, Le Bistro will disappoint, and is definitely not worth a second trip, so I cancelled my second reservation and ate dinner in the Summer Palace the last night of the cruise. Where, once again, my bottle of wine was waiting for me, and there was even enough left for a last-night encore. If, however, you are looking for a Disney-esque version of the French restaurant experience, Le Bistro is a pleasant evening out with "safe" menu choices.
WINE - Since I was traveling alone and I enjoy a glass of wine with my dinners, I opted to purchase a bottle. At $35, the wine was pricey, but since there was enough in the bottle to enjoy a glass each night with dinner, I felt it was a good value. After dinner, the bottle is marked red or white, and marked with your cabin number. You can request the bottle when you dine at any of the venues. It's also an excellent way to avoid being given the "wine-list-sell" each night at dinner.
BLUE LAGOON - Don't bother. As stated elsewhere, service is glacial and food is worse. They must work to make it this bad.
GARDEN CAFE - Although I had breakfast and some lunches there, the food is uninspired, lacking in taste and the venue is a cattle-call, especially at breakfast. Royal Caribbean's Windjammer Marketplace does it better, but just a little. Tables for two near the large windows are slow to empty, while large booths back from the windows for 4 or more go unused. A long corridor down one side of the ship spilling out onto an open aft deck, this venue is poorly laid out and the artificial plants in the room are beyond tired. If you dine alone, don't get up to get a second juice or coffee, because overzealous crew will clear your table and someone else will be sitting there when you get back every time. I didn't waste my time on dinner here so I cannot comment on the quality or diversity of the menu in the evenings. I also didn't discover the free ice cream machine on the rear deck outside this venue until the last day of the cruise. Bummer. If you like soda to drink with your meals, stop at the pool bar to get a refill first, you can't get a soda here easily.
BLISS ULTRA LOUNGE - Wasn't. DEcor is a combination of Chinese brothel and bowling alley. Except for the bowling alleys, every evening visit between 7 and 11 pm found the location mostly empty, as were most of the other bars on board. Everyone must go out late or else they were all huddled in one bar on board somewhere, but I never found it. Out of curiosity, I showed up for the Friends of Dorothy meeting twice and no one was there either time. Although scheduled to happen each night in the Bliss Lounge, this meeting didn't even rate a crew member showing up. During the day, all these venues were deserted, which is understandable to a certain extent, but none of them, save the pool bar, was staffed during the day, making it extremely difficult to find somewhere to get a refill if you have the beverage program. If you get thirsty, head for the pool deck or die. If you like Coke products, cruise on Royal Caribbean; NCL only serves Pepsi. Surely, an industry that prides itself on serving their passenger's every whim could offer both; even if one was in cans.
LIBRARY - This ship has the best library I have encountered. Most days, it was extremely quiet and a great place to read and watch the ocean, even though it is near the pool and the card room. The card room did get noisy on rainy days but the library was full on those days and was noisy too. The library was staffed only 1 hour in the morning and 1 in the afternoon meaning the shelves were locked otherwise. They had a good selection of books if you were there when the shelves were open, but the crewman was late every day for library hours and some days didn't show at all. When there, he bemoaned the fact that the latest books were in boxes in storage, because they didn't have time to rotate the books, yet while he was there, he sat at the desk trying to figure out a library system that was down. Surely, they could assign one particular crew member to library duty so there is continuity and the library is managed properly. Other good places to read and relax out of the sun are the decks on either side of Cagney's, which have lounge chairs and are covered with awnings. A tip for those who need it, the deck chairs on the promenade deck have pads on them and are more comfortable for afternoon naps and extended reading. A lot of people don't know they are there.
STARDUST THEATER - Shows were plentiful and pretty good. Be sure you choose a Freestyle dining time that allows you to make the beginning of the shows. I like to eat late, and kept missing the beginnings of the late shows.
SHOPS - Like all cruise ships, if you see something you want, wait until the last day of the cruise to buy it when it will be on sale. Otherwise, you can do as well, or better, in the ports.
ART AUCTION - Most of the art auctions on cruise ships are run by Park West Galleries. By all means, go and drink their free champagne, even get a bid card if you want, but buyer beware: Even at auction, these prices are high, controlled by the auctioneer, not you, and you will not get bargains here. Buy only if you really, really like something. Do not buy for investment. E-bay is full of items purchased at these auctions that you can purchase for less than 25% of their sale prices on board.
CASH ACCOUNTS / DISEMBARKING - If you maintain a cash account onboard rather than a credit card, be sure you stop by the desk the night before disembarking to settle up. Ask them to print you a statement and check it carefully. Make sure you have a zero or a few dollars credit balance. I stopped by the night before and was informed I had a $6.79 credit on my account by the crew member at Guest Services. This was wrong! I OWED $6.79 cents. The next morning I was pulled out of the line at the gangway and waited for over an hour to pay the $6.79. There were only two crew members settling accounts and a line of approximately 30 people waiting to argue about their bills. One crew member handling payment only would have been a good idea. Also, if you board somewhere other than the embarkation port as I did, expect to be pulled out of line and to wait for at least an hour for a full customs interview. Less

Cabin review: OG5061 Oceanview Porthole Window
ROOM 5061 - You've heard it all already. The rooms ARE small, but if you have traveled to Europe or cruised before, you are used to small accommodations. The rooms were very nicely finished and had mahogany detailing in the cabinetry similar to what you might find on a fine yacht. Although small, the bathroom in the cabin was so well appointed, I would have been happy to have it as a bathroom in my home. The cabin and bath were spotless and were maintained that way the whole cruise. Again the mahogany trip was carried into the bath and although it was a vinyl covering in the toilet area and shower, it was well done and looked good. Both the toilet and the shower had sliding privacy doors which would have made it possible for two people to be in the bath at the same time. There was shower gel and shampoo provided in the shower, liquid soap dispenser in the vanity area, and a bottle of premium lotion provided in the bath. The room was quiet and enjoyable, except for the last morning, due to it's proximity to the bow thrusters, docking back in Miami was an early morning wake-up call, whether you wanted one or not.Read All Oceanview Porthole Window (OG) Reviews >>
Port and Shore Excursions
A shoppers paradise. The farther you go from the waterfront shops, the better the bargains. Avoid the shopping center at the pier unless it's your only choice.
St. Thomas has regulated taxis, but always ask the fair before you get in. There are "free taxis" that are not regulated and they can be expensive.
Also, if you are in port at night, take taxis, don't walk. These people are poor, and you look rich.
Unless you're here for an excursion, it's less than St. Thomas.
Ditto NCL's private island. It's a waste of time, stay on the ship and enjoy some peace and quiet.

The reality TV star revealed she was sad about leaving the show but at the same time is ready to venture out.
Lauren Conrad officially waved her hand to "The Hills" on the Sunday, May 31 episode and the star said it was actually "bittersweet". She also offered kind words for the next season which will come back without her and present her former "Laguna Beach" rival Kristin Cavallari center-stage.
"From what I've heard the next season will not disappoint," Lauren wrote on her MySpace page. The baton was handed over when both Lauren and Kristin attended the wedding of Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag. Kristin caught the thrown bouquet from Heidi and Lauren quietly left the church alone.
"A part of me is sad to say goodbye to something that has been such a prominent part of my life, but I know that it was time and I am very happy with my decision," Lauren wrote. "While putting my personal relationships and struggles on television wasn't always easy, the support I received from people made such a difference."
Missing from "The Hills", Lauren Conrad is pursuing "some interesting projects" including her first novel. "I will keep you all updated," she promised.
Meanwhile, the fifth season of "The Hills" will get a bonus episode which will air on TV around September.

By Rachel Kayani
A recent report has highlighted that the end of life care, or palliative care, given to people from different ethnic minority groups is varied, and despite examples of good practice, are not in many cases adequately met.
Given that Black, Asian and Minority ethnic groups (BAME) aged 65 and over, are expected to triple over the next 25 years, there is a growing need to assess why end of life care varies between different communities. The report aimed to examine why uptake of end of life care is low in some ethnic groups and identify potential obstacles that could affect a patient's ability to receive the best palliative care.
There is growing evidence that ethnic and cultural differences can influence patterns of advanced disease, illness experiences, health care seeking behaviour and the use of health care services. Although much has been done to identify and improve these variations in healthcare, differences still exist in the quality of care that people from different ethnic groups receive and the same is also true of end of life care.
The report (Palliative and End of Life Care for Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic Communities in the UK) was commissioned by the Marie Curie Cancer Care and Public Health England from the Cicely Saunders Institute at King's College London. They conducted a systematic review to identify the unmet needs of BAME groups in the UK and access to palliative care.
The review found that several factors were affecting the uptake of palliative care for people from different ethnic minority backgrounds. Problems identified by the study included: a lack of knowledge about services, poor communication between healthcare providers and the patient or patient's family, poor communication about what services were available, misunderstandings and mistrust – often due to previous experiences of discrimination, and a lack of sensitivity to cultural and religious differences on the part of the service providers.
Thus communication issues and cultural awareness were the main reasons for the low up take of palliative care by certain ethnic groups. The report authors say these issues can in part be addressed by improving communication with the patient and their family.
The number of people aged over 65 from Black, Asian and Minority groups is predicted to grow over the next few decades, and is expected to reach over 1.3 million by 2026 (compared to just over half a million in 2001). As the population ages there is a growing need to ensure that access to palliative care is available to all and that any social or cultural reasons for low up take of care are addressed.
While the report acknowledges that better training is needed for health and social care professionals to enable them to provide appropriate care to diverse ethnic groups, it also notes the importance of avoiding assumptions and stereotypes and listening to patients and their families about their needs and preferences at the end of life.
Dr Jonathan Koffman, report author from King's College London, said: "Our study highlights some of the issues people from BAME groups and their families face during advanced disease and the end of life that prevent them from accessing vital services which can significantly improve the quality of their lives.
"Issues such as lack of knowledge about what is on offer and mistrust of services due to previous experiences may contribute to low uptake of specialist palliative care. These issues need to be examined locally and changed where relevant.
"Service providers should take into account the issues raised by this report and review how well their palliative care services are meeting the needs of the community."
Dr Ian Gittens, Diversity Project Manager, Marie Curie Cancer Care said: "With progress now being made in ensuring access to care is not influenced only by a person's clinical diagnosis, our attention now needs to recognise that ethnic, cultural and other differences can impact on all aspects of health and the uptake of healthcare."

Sustainable Installations
The Army Sustainable Installation program is designed to assist installations to take a pro-active approach to plan for long-term mission viability and integrity while at the same time minimize the consumption of resources and reduce the impact on the surrounding communities and environment. A key feature in this program is to assess the current and future needs of an installation for land for training, and assess reliable, secure, and low-cost energy and water. A Sustainable Installation plan is then developed to minimize or reduce the total use of resources, ensure mission readiness, and improve the quality of life for soldiers while protecting the local communities and environment.
To date Sustainable Installation planning has been undertaken at Fort Lewis, Fort Carson, Fort Bragg, Fort Hood, Fort Campbell, Fort Polk, Fort Rucker, Fort Benning, Fort Knox, Fort Stewart/HAAF, Fort Jackson, Fort Eustis, Fort AP Hill, USAG Hawaii, USAG Wiesbaden, and PA ANG. See the map. Additional information can be found on the U.S. Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratory web site.

Love those cables! Three plump cable panels knitted with three strands held together on size 19 needles will give you the warmest blanket ever--and a decorating showpiece as well.
Requires a cable needle; suggests substituting a double pointed needle if cable needle won't hold all the stitches.

You cannot. I won't be top-posting. I'll follow the international standards

It still is. Get to understand the standards first. When you know, use, and
understand them *then* offer ideas for improvement. You haven't even started
your first year as an undergraduate and already you've decided what
postgraduate students should be taught.

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Thank you for your question.
Has her mother always been this controlling of her daughter, for example with other boyfriends etc? Is her only concern about you the age difference?
It's amazing that she actually sleeps in the same bed so she can monitor her daughter!
Okay thanks for the additional information. This mother obviously has some severe control issues going on, and due to this is acting not in her daughter's best interest. Obviously it's not in good judgment to invite abusive exes over to their house. Her mother is really invading her boundaries as well.
Rather than trying to influence the mother by meeting her, etc. I would advise you to encourage your girlfriend to gain more independence from her parents/mother. Also, with the divorce going on, it's likely her mom is going to become even more controlling. Your girlfriend needs to move out on her own and start to be more financially independent as soon as she can. In the meantime, she simply needs to set boundaries with her mom and tell her to not set her up anymore, etc. That if she continues to do such, that she will not be there for the dinner etc. meaning there will be a consequence to the behavior. I would stop trying to meet her mom and again focus more on your relationship with this young woman and be supportive about how difficult this is for her.
I would really suggest that your girlfriend get some counseling about how to maintain boundaries with her mother, as this could be a lifelong struggle otherwise. This issue runs deep and obviously did not begin with her dating you.
Again, trying to control the mother will backfire, so stating a boundary and then following through with a consequence if/when that boundary is violated is the best approach. She needs to show her mother rather than tell her. Please click ACCEPT button so I'm credited for my help today. Feel free to continue the discussion with me even after accepting. Thank you!
As she is still living at home and also dependent on her mom for financial resources, etc, it does make it more difficult to enforce the boundaries. Especially if her mom has threatened to kick her out. She should really strive to become independent financially and/or move out of the house. It does sound like you have done really well handling this situation as far as encouraging her and being more than willing to do what it takes to make her mom feel comfortable with you.
If she feels like she has to do what her mom says, or lose that support then that is the price she is going to pay. She is going to be controlled for the financial support. You can let her know that she would have a better relationship with her mom, if she could get out from under her control. She should get a job, or apply for financial aid (if she is in school) or do what is necessary to move out. She could move in with a friend or a roommate. The problem here is much bigger than just about her mom not liking the age gap. It's about her total control.
It could be really helpful for you and your gf to attend couples counseling around this issue. That would help her feel supported and become aware of her options.
From what you are describing her mom is being emotionally abusive. All you can do is what you are already doing.
Once your gf is financially independent, then her mother will have no say in whether she moves out or not. It will be up to your girlfriend at that point to be emotionally capable of standing her ground, after being so controlled.
I think it's very wise that you see a therapist. And I would advise that you do suggest for her to come as well. If she chooses not to (and at some point she also has to take accountability that on some level it's a choice. She is 23 years old now), then I really encourage to of course see the therapist and get much needed ongoing support around this issue. Again encourage her to be more independent. Maybe her mother is suffering from mental illness.
Since yesterday, things get worse for her. Her mom bought her the new IPad and she told her that she didn't want it. Her mom tells her that she is ungrateful for all the nice things she does for her. These nice things are always gifts because she obviously tries to make up for her shortcomings buy getting gifts to make her think she loves her. Her mom took off work today and tomorrow so she could be with her (monitor everything she does). It is now to the point where her mom is taking her to school and picking her up, so she knows exactly where she is all the time. She told me today that she has no freedom at all. I told her that she needs to break away from the cycle because it is not going to get better. She openly admits that she is happiest when the two of us are together and there is no distractions. She wants to be with me, but it seems as if she pushes me away somewhat, which confuses me because I am the only one that sticks up for her best interest. I am the only constant positive thing in her life and each day I become more confused. I told her over and over that I will do anything for her except leave her. I can't run away from what I know is what I want and what makes us both happy.
It sounds like she is simply feeling very torn between you and what her mother wants for her. Does she have any siblings by the way, or is she an only child?
Also, what is her father's role in this situation? He must see how controlling the mother is... Please click ACCEPT, and we can continue the discussion. Thank you!
She has a younger brother that is going to college in the fall. Her dad probably knows exactly how controlling her mom is and that is probably a reason they are getting divorced. I suggested that she talk to her dad, but she said that her and her dad don't have that type of relationship. It really seems to me as if they are a very unsupportive family, but I would never say that to her. I did tell her today that with the divorce going on and her mom's lack of control over that situation and with her brother going away to school (about 2 hours away), that she is getting all the control issues placed on her. I said that by staying in the situation, it is going to only get worse because all of the control her mom has on her brother will cease when he leaves the house for school.
I suggested that she stay at a hotel or even my neighbor's house whom she knows and just get out for a day or two. At least this way her mom will know that she is pissed off and not happy with how she is held as a prisoner. She declined immediately and said, "I cant just leave home".
Again, it just keeps getting worse for her.

Slow start plagues Bengals
Football: Big Rock falls to 0-4 with 42-24 loss
Wednesday, Apr 23, 2014 06:00 am
A familiar face on the opposite sideline came back to bite the Big Rock Bengals.
Foothills Composite student Trey Kellogg�s six touchdown performance paced the Calgary Stampeders to the 42-24 victory over several of his classmates on the Bengals in Saturday�s Calgary and Area Midget Football Association (CAMFA) tilt at Shouldice Park.
�They have a pretty good box inside with their line and linebackers, but we knew they had a couple weaknesses at DB (defensive back) so we tried to attack that a little bit,� said Kellogg, a Grade 10 student at the Comp. �We came out with six receivers, different from what we usually do we installed that this week, and that worked really well.�
�That was so much fun,� he added. �Playing against your friends just raises the intensity, raises the competition and just makes for a better game.�
The Bengals might disagree.
Big Rock produced a carbon-copy performance a week prior, characterized by a slow start and impressive yet ultimately futile comeback attempts in the final two quarters.
This time, they found themselves down 28-6 at halftime.
�We�re a one-half football team,� lamented Bengals head coach Bruce Marlow. �We have one half where we can�t stop anything because kids are trying to get in-sync. Our second half we finally get together, they play like they can play and a little bit too little, too late.�
Calgary was in fine form in the opening quarter. Kellogg opened the scoring on a 25-yard toss to the left of the end-zone. After taking over on downs on a botched punt attempt by the Bengals, Kellogg hooked up with a receiver for a 20-yard touchdown on a slant-pattern.
The rangy signal-caller added two more scores before the end of the half to give the Stamps a commanding 28-0 advantage.
The Bengals showed some bite late in the second-quarter with the ground attack of Brenden Hansen and Jeus Mapatac setting up a goal line quarterback sneak from Peter Zajdel with 30 seconds on the clock.
Momentum was a welcome companion in the second half for the Bengals as they further cut into the lead on a 20-yard scamper from Florida Flash TJ Tighe.
The Stampeders answered with a rally-killing touchdown of their own, but the relief lasted only for a fleeting moment.
Tighe found pay-dirt again when he carried an army of Calgary tacklers into the end-zone to cut the deficit to 35-18. Shortly thereafter, Mapatac meandered into the end-zone on a reverse play inside the red-zone.
The Bengals, however, couldn�t outrun the clock.
Calgary put the game out of reach with 50 seconds left when Kellogg launched his sixth passing touchdown of the contest.
�We had some really great efforts from guys that had been their all week long and it showed,� Marlow said. �Peter, our quarterback, phenomenal effort. He doesn�t quit until the end every single play and Jonathan Leggett, our middle linebacker, played his heart out.�
Unfortunately, the overall commitment to the first-year franchise from its players has been an issue at times.
�We have too many kids on this team who have to take a day off because they have a birthday party or a hug-fest,� Marlow said. �We�ve got a whole bunch of kids who cant show up on a consistent basis and when they don�t show up on a consistent basis they don�t care enough about the team.
�That being said if we ever put together a full game, we�ll be fine.�
The silver lining for the Bengals is the CAMFA playoff format. As in, every team competing in the league gets a ticket to the post-season dance.
Next up for Big Rock is a May 2 date with the undefeated Calgary Bulldogs.

On compilers on which the enum value is represented as an unsigned int, passing -1 is just the same as doing that with any function with an unsigned int argument for that argument - it will convert to a large unsigned value . So sure, that isolated part of the test's outcome will vary depending on whether or not the compiler opts to represent the enum as signed when it can, but I don't look at it as you do. I simply consider that to be a violation of the enum's contract, or the caller's failure to consider that the enum couldn't represent -1 -- they got what they asked for. To put it another way, you could say that the first part of the test only exists for the benefit of compilers that treat all enums as signed. Clang recognised that redundancy for its unsigned case, and complained. It doesn't make sense to me to look at that one part of the test in isolation though. With my patch, the test as a whole does its job (in an identical fashion to before, in fact). Come to think of it, you could argue that the warning is invalid on the basis that the enum being unsigned is implementation defined and therefore the first part of the test is conceivably not redundant on some platforms, and perhaps I will on the Clang list. Probably not though, because it was hard enough with the warning bug that I managed to get them to fix, and I thought that was open-and-shut. >> I'm not convinced that that is an improvement to rely on the >> conversion doing so, but it's not as if I feel very strongly about it. > > The C standard specifies that signed-to-unsigned conversions must work > like that; and even if the standard didn't, it would surely work like > that on any machine with two's-complement representation, which is to > say every computer built in the last forty years or so.

Lomography and Meow City, Kuching2013-01-18 3 Share Tweet
The first moment I stepped into Kuching International Airport, I was jumping up and down with excitement. It was the first time my friends and I visited Kuching, the capital city of Sarawak.
"Meow," I said to this city.
"Meow Meow," the city replied.
The sun was bright enough for my film camera to work.
The most popular street in Kuching is known as Carpenter Street. This is a good place to buy for souvenirs, handicrafts, and that 'I love Kuching' T-shirt at cheap prices.
Then, we boarded a sampan across Sarawak River reaching Boyan Village.
I met a friendly family here, a father with two daughters. They invited me to his guesthouse named as My Village Barok Guesthouse, which is a special guesthouse indeed. I promised myself to come back again for the next time I visit.
One of the interesting historical buildings is the Square Tower. It was built in 1879 as a detention camp for prisoners, and was later converted into a fortress, and then a dance hall. Today, it is a multimedia information centre and video theatre providing information on Sarawak's tourist attractions.
Finally, you can reach the Kuching Waterfront which is now transformed into a landscaped esplanade. You can take a leisurely stroll along the Waterfront to explore its historical buildings and admire the modern sculptures. Believe me, the dusk view here is breathtaking.
The highlight of this trip definitely is this bridge. I almost couldn't believe that I dropped my Fisheye No.2 camera from the bridge into the sea!
The day I left Kuching, I looked back; I'm gonna to miss you, the blue sky, bridge and my camera.

Ammonia and nitrous oxide emissions from grass and alfalfa mulches
- 309 Downloads
Ammonia (NH3) and nitrous oxide (N-2O) emissions were measured in the field for three months from three different herbage mulches and from bare soil, used as a control. The mulches were grass with a low N-content (1.15% N in DM), grass with a high N-content (2.12% N in DM) and alfalfa with a high N-content (4.33% N in DM). NH3 volatilization was measured using a micrometeorological technique. N-2O emissions were measured using closed chambers. NH3 and N-2O emissions were found to be much higher from the N-rich mulches than from the low-N grass and bare soil, which did not differ significantly. Volatilization losses of NH3 and N-2O occurred mainly during the first month after applying the herbage and were highest from wet material shortly after a rain. The extent of NH3-N losses was difficult to estimate, due to the low frequency of measurements and some problems with the denuder technique, used on the first occasions of measurements. Nevertheless, the results indicate that NH3-N losses from herbage mulch rich in N can be substantial. Estimated losses of NH3-N ranged from the equivalent of 17% of the applied N for alfalfa to 39% for high-N grass. These losses not only represent a reduction in the fertilizer value of the mulch, but also contribute appreciably to atmospheric pollution. The estimated loss of N-2O-N during the measurement period amounted to 1% of the applied N in the N-rich materials, which is equivalent to at least 13 kg N-2O-N ha-1 lost from alfalfa and 6 kg ha-1 lost from high-N grass. These emission values greatly exceed the 0.2 kg N-2O-N ha-1 released from bare soil, and thus contribute to greenhouse gas emissions.

This product has been retired from our catalog and is no longer for sale. This page is made available for those looking for datasheets and the simply curious.
Description: This is the LIR2477 rechargeable lithium ion coin cell battery. The battery is rated for 3.6V @ 160mAh and comes standard with two PTH pins tacked on to the top and bottom so a coin cell holder is not required. This battery has been used in the fabrickit product line.
Note: Due to the requirements of shipping these batteries, orders may take longer to process and therefore do not qualify for same-day shipping. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
Dimensions: 24.5x7.7mm (Without pins)
Weight: 7g
I got the following readings on the 4 I ordered: 0V, 0V, 0.66V, 3.86V. They just let me know that they figured out that all their current stock of this product has been packaged with conductive foam, so these have been slowly discharging on the shelf. I verified this…about 5k ohms resistance across the foam pad the battery came in. Anyway, they should be replacing this with properly packaged product but wait on ordering it – dated 11/18/2015. Posting this because I noticed they still had it listed as in stock and not on backorder–this should be updated. Also so that if any previous purchaser is wondering what happened, they have some closure. These cells aren't supposed to be allowed to fully discharge.
What would be the best way to recharge this battery?
Does this battery need an external protection circuit? I believe all the rectangular packs SF sells have them built in. If something external is needed, is there a recommended protection IC or circuit design for this?
Ordered two, one registers at .87V, the other at 1.3. These are not pre-charged. This should be noted in the product description.
Agreed. I have ordered some and the three I measured register between 0.6V and 1V. I believe batteries degrade fastest when completely discharged so make sure to charge them soon after receiving.
Can the coin cell be removed from the holder? If not, one would have to integrate a charging facility in one's design, and that's presumably close to impossible to do with through hole components, so to use this successfully in a design, it would take considerably more than "rookie" soldering and prototyping skills.
It looks to me like they are spot-welded on. If removal for charging is a concern then perhaps you could solder a pigtail to the battery and use that for connecting to your circuit. (Or just bare wires with spring terminals - Those are probably easier to solder.)
Alternate option: Solder the battery in place, but put a .1" jumper or DPST switch on the feed and leave a jack to connect the charger - Just switch the jumper or switch and voila! Charging without back-feeding your circuit.
Agree, it's spot-welded on; that doesn't prevent you from very carefully trimming the leads, though.

In this type of battery is very common defective. I buy them is not the first time and every time come across instances not workable. It is better to buy a few pieces that were holding on culling

Ive been trying to find a solution to this problem for some time now.
It started out on this machine when it was windows XP, i have reinstalled xp
serveral times and since then have moved onto a fresh install of vista
business. Normal internet, file copying etc is fine, yet if i need to copy
lots of small files off an ftp site, or if i try and use skype etc, the
entire lan system dies for about 4 minutes. After this time it will come
back on its own. Ive tried removing firewalls, antivirus, resetting MTU to
lower values etc, but nothing seems to work.
Has anyone else had anything similar or can anyone suggest anything else
i can do to try and sort this out?
Many Thanks

Pumps & Systems, April 2013
A high-quality pump repair program should be designed to standardize repair technique, reduce the risk of improper repair and drive continuous learning from errors to eliminate expensive repetitive equipment failures. This article discusses the actions taken by a refinery team to improve its repair program.
Repair Process Review
Within any industrial environment, having out-of-service equipment introduces operational risk. To minimize failed equipment, an internal shop or vendor shop must conduct high-quality repairs that make the long runs at an acceptable cost. About three years ago, a refinery team began a journey to improve the quality of repairs within its facility. The team conducted a refinery-wide survey to determine how the team's customers viewed its repair capabilities.
The team found inconsistency and confusion within its processes. Work was not efficient, and quality was almost impossible to measure because of this inconsistency.
It was not clear who within the organization was responsible for the repair. No standard receiving process was in place. The team had no guidelines to determine how the work was assigned. There was no consistent process for deciding what would be completed using internal resources and which jobs should be sent to vendor shops. Even worse, mechanics had no consistent, day-to-day repair standards.
The team's customers were frustrated with the lack of updates regarding critical repairs. They also voiced that the duration of repairs was too long. While the work was being completed, the process could and should be improved.
Figure 1. Pump shop work flow
Process Management
After determining the equipment's current condition, the team began the improvement journey by stating, on paper, the vision of how work should flow through the shops (see Figure 1). Team members established that every pump overhaul within the refinery must be managed by the main shop. If resources were not available, the main shop would be responsible for the repair and manage it through a vendor facility. This provided one point of contact to all support vendors and the team's internal customers. They only had to contact one person for a decision versus multiple individuals, with varying levels of repair experience, to approve scopes and quotes.
With the owner of the repair identified, the team had to implement a system to notify operating units (customers) of the status of their repairs. By chance, at the same time, the refinery was standardizing its departmental websites. The team decided to use the standardization project to create an internal site for its main shop.
This site is available anytime to internal personnel with intranet access. In the past, a status update email was circulated weekly, but the distribution was limited. With the internal site, anyone may review a repair's status at any time.
This site also included the functionality to manage repair scopes and information from engineering. Before implementation of the site, engineering would email job scopes for items to be corrected during a repair. This became cumbersome to manage for the shops. With the intranet site, engineering creates a new item to notify the shops of the work and uploads information necessary to complete the repair. The team aligned the site to match its process flow (see Figure 1).
To track the status of each repair, the team developed categories. They are:

Title : Caste on bar to be Hindu priest Author : The Times of India News Service Publication : Times of India Date : June 22, 1996 THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, Dec. 7. The landmark ruling of the Kerala high court recently that a trained, priest belonging to any caste was eligible to be appointed a pries has been hailed by all the major Hindu organisations In the state. The full bench of the court had ruled that the appointment of priests based on caste was unconstitutional. The bench@h was considering a writ petition referred to it by a division bench challenging the appointment of S. Rajesh as priest of the Siva temple in Kongarapilly. Petitioner N. Adithyan had contended that no person except a Kerala Brahmin had ever conducted a pooja In a Siva temple. Mr Rajesh happens to be an Ezhava, an OBC, but he, being a trained priest, was appointed by the Travancore Devaswom Board. The petitioner had argued that as per section 24 and section 31 of the Travancore Cochin Hindu Religious Institution Act, the Dewaswom Board was duty-bound to follow the Precedent In the Hindu community. Since no non-Brahmin priest had ever conducted a pooja In a temple, the appointment of Rajesh must be pronounced In- valid. The Hindu Alkma Vedi, a leading Hindu voluntary organisation in Kerala, has termed the ruling, "historic" which would go a long way towards the demolition of the decaying caste system. The chairman of the vedi, Swami Satyananda Saraswaty, said the judgment which was not a day too soon hod the potential to engender brotherhood among various Hindu castes and help regeneration of the community. The swami said many pseudosadhus had defiled the places of worship and-brought a bad name to the Hindu community. Some so-called ashrams even practised castism within their premises. Kummanom Rojasekharan, a prominent leader of the Hindu community, while welcoming the court ruling, said the ruling would hasten the making of a modern Kerala. He said the ruling was the most important event after the Travancore royal declaration of temple entry in the thirties which allowed all - irrespective of all castes to go In and worship any temple In Travancore. BJP leader P.P. Mukundan said his party welcomed the, court orders. He said it was in fact an RSS pracharak, P.Madliavan, who had set up the country's first "tantra vidyalaya" on the bank of the Periyar 15 years ago. Mr Rajesh happens to be a co-worker of Mr Madhavan The vidyalaya trains youths for priesthood. It is a six-year rigorous course open to all the castes of the Hindu community. A leader of the All-Kerala Brahmins Association who preferred anonymity said he hailed the ruling but could not speak on behalf of the association without, consulting them. This is clear example that the RSS is not a Brahmanical organisation. In fact, it shows that the RSS and its curious associates are working for Hindu unity in a positive way.

Police have issued a warning about rogue drugs in north Wales after two separate incidents involving ecstasy and heroin over the weekend.
A 13-year-old girl was treated in an intensive care unit in Wrexham after taking an ecstasy tablet and a man in Caernarfon died from suspected heroin abuse.
The teenager was one of five people who needed treatment at Wrexham Maelor after taking ecstasy from the same batch on Saturday night.
The potentially-lethal tablets, which have sent by police for forensic examination, were round and white with a bottle used as a logo.
Detective Constable Andy Jessop, from Wrexham CID, said the tablets were "potentially lethal" and warned people not to take them.
'Extremely dangerous'
He said: "Five people have taken them on the same day at the same time so we are concerned about these tablets which are extremely dangerous and we want to find out as much information as we can.
"My advice is, if you have any of these pills then bring them to Wrexham police station in the strictest confidence - we endeavour to find out who is supplying them.
"When people buy these drugs, they don't know what they contain."
Police warned people to be aware of a potentially deadly batch of controlled drugs, believed to be heroin, available in the Caernarfon area after the death of 46-year-old Cemlyn Owen.
A post-mortem examination into Mr Owen's death is due to take place on Tuesday morning.
Andrew Bennett, director of the drugs and public health agency Hit, said: "Heroin can become contaminated in a number of ways from bacteria in the soil where the opium grows or from the process where it is turned into heroin which is a murky business.
"In this country people add other substances to make the batch go further.
"But most heroin deaths come from a combination of factors other than heroin on its own and my advice would be don't use heroin with other depressant drugs like alcohol and methadone."
He said most deaths from ecstasy were as a result of body temperature being affected, which can lead to dehydration.
"Most ecstasy tablets contain little or no ecstasy.
"Amphetamine, caffeine and ketamine are used - when ketamine is used I think many users would find it unpleasant and quite alarming but not life-threatening."
Two men, aged 21 and 20, are due to appear before Wrexham magistrates on Monday charged with drug offences in connection charged with a number of offences relating to the supply of controlled drugs.

Registering a handgun from a private sale
So, I don't have a florida ID and can't buy a handgun, but there is no paperwork needed for private sale in Florida. So this means I can have a friend with a Florida ID purchase a handgun and then immediately sell it to me for the exact amount he paid for it, correct? The gun will still be registered to him, but I will have bought the pistol legally. How do I go about registering the pistol? Can I still use it for CCW if it is technically registered to him?
Private sales in Florida still need to follow both Federal and state laws albeit, not as stringent as from a FFL dealer.
The scenario you just laid out, your friend purchasing a gun with the intent to resell to you is a felony (for both of you) called straw man.
Because it's in black and white here on a public forum, I suggest you never carry out the plan.
If you are going to carry a firearm, man up and do it legally. If you can't, DON'T!
Your military ID will establish your identity and a letter from your CO and a utility bill will establish your residency requirement. When I was in the Army, I used this technique to lawfully purchase guns in 2 separate states.
Canebrake.. Please explain that again....
As you Know why.... It's probably that I move to FL or TX in the next year or two, I've relatives and friend in both states.... I'm doing all legally so I want to know how is the process of firearm buying (and carry if it's permited) on those states.... (the other option it's Canada for sure) I can't buy a firearm until I became RESIDENT (green card), not with Work Permit visa, I know that... but what it's the diference betwen buy in a store and a privates sale? here in Venezuela is easier buy it from a store than a particular (more paperwork and the cost in time and money are bigger) and how's that of registering a gun? Sorry for stupid question but I'm not familiar at all to the States laws... and I want to do everything by the book :D
Sorry I misspoke a little. I meant to sell to me after I get my FL residency. I can't seem to find my birth certificate and have to order a new one, so I won't have my FL residency/ID before Obama gets inaugurated, and the local gun store that is selling it is going to jack up the prices in a week or so. I figured it would be legal to have a friend buy it while it's cheap and hold on to it for 2-3 weeks until I get my Florida ID/residency, and then sell it to me.
Lol, I have a birth certificate, I just misplaced it recently when I was moving and can't find it.
With all the great things we are blessed with here in the "United States" one of them is NOT all the different laws we must abide by when traveling from state to state.
As a gun owner and a US citizen, I must be up on all federal laws as they apply to firearms. I am licensed to carry in Florida and this requires me to be totally cognitive of all Florida state firearms laws, but I also know that federal law trumps state law if they are in conflict (depending on what court they are heard in).
Still with me? OK, then there are the states county laws and local municipal laws which can differ from the Florida and US laws. Most people would give up by now but if youre still reading, Im impressed and feel you will make an excellent gun owner!
It sounds complicated but if you take the required legal course, firearm training AND absorb the information, you will be fine.
I keep two books constantly updated and handy for reference. They are;
Florida Firearms -- Law, Use And Ownership, Sixth Edition
by Jon H. Gutmacher, Esq.
http://www.floridafirearmslaw.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=FFL&Category_C ode=Florida-Firearms-Law-Use-And-Ownership-Info
I keep Mr. Gutmachers law office phone number on my cells speed dial. It will be the second number I call if Im involved in a shooting. (The first # is 911 of course)
I never talk about FL gun law unless this book is in close proximity.
This is Floridas CCW licensing website;
The second book is the Travelers Guide to Firearms Laws of the Fifty States, 2008.
By J. Scott Kappas, Esq.
As a Licensed CCW in Florida I also am permitted to carry in 33 additional states due to reciprocity agreements. The book helps sort out the variations in each states laws.
For example, later this week Im driving to Ohio and then on to Michigan. A quick check of this publication tells me the knife I carry along with my Colt here in Florida is not permitted in Michigan, West Virginia, South Carolina, but in Ohio, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina and Virginia its OK. Knowledge is power and I am informed, and can make rational decisions based on that knowledge. With that said, I will probably carry the knife for the whole trip. My choice.
Florida eligibility Requirements
o You must be 21 years of age or older.
o You must be able to demonstrate competency with a firearm.
o Unless you are serving overseas in the United States Armed Forces, you must currently reside in the United States (US) AND be a US citizen or deemed a lawful permanent resident alien by Department of Homeland Security, US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS). If you are serving overseas in the US Armed Forces, submit a copy of your deployment documentation with your application. If you are not a US citizen, submit documentation issued by the USCIS proving you are a permanent legal resident alien with proof you have resided in the state of residence (as shown on your application) for at least 90 consecutive days prior to the date the application is submitted.
I hope this answers your questions and I look forward to our next exchange.
You are most welcome to visit the "GunShine State" of Florida and bask in our sunshine and gun laws. :p
Should you get to the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area, let me know and we can go expend some ammo!
Crispy- a Canebrake pointed out- If your friend buys a gun from a dealer in his home state, he is asked on the form 4473 if he is the actual purchaser of the gun. If he buys it FOR you, he has falsified that form. If you participate in this with him, you have just engaged in CONSPIRACY to violate the 1968 Gun Control Act. Now, just North of Florida is the Federal Correctional Insitute, Atlanta. Your bud will be there. If you are active duty military, you get to go to Kansas. Nice placed called Leavenworth. Weather there sucks.
Bottom line- for a handgun- you may not buy one from ANYONE except in your state of residence. Active duty military can have 3 or more legit states of residence- Home of record, current living location, current duty location. I am resident of Virginia, was stationed at Ft. Benning (Georgia) but lived in Alabama. Easy to establish- your ID, copy of your PCS orders. Hell, we have sailors aboard ship in the Med, home port Norfolk Naval Station VA- they are a VA resident. You MAY want to talk to a local dealer about allowing you to put a gun on layaway with him- he retains possession of it until you finish paying for it, at which time he does the 4473/ background check before you take delivery.
I am not a lawyer (Mom and Dad were married to each other, so I am not qualified to be lawyer) but trust Canebrake and me on this one- OK?
Alright thanks for the input, and especially those links, I'll definitely check them out. I think I'll just go ask the dealer if he can put it on layaway until I get my ID.
