Heading Out....
I haven't posted anything for a few days, been crazy crazy over here. I'm heading out again on Thursday, hitting Clark, PA for a couple days, and moving back into Ohio where I'll be visiting Ashtabula, Copley, Canton, and Warren!
I've got good friends in Ashtabula, and in the Akron Area, so it's going to be a reunion of sorts! FUN!
I've spent the last few days kitting up quilts from recycled fabrics for the next Scraps & Shirttails book...and I swear. I have GOT to be done buying clothing for quilts! Even after kitting these up, I feel like I haven't made a dent. It's a good thing I'm mad for plaid and the feel of utility scrap quilts. I'm going to be making them for a long long time!
Projects coming with me: In this bag...20 blocks inspired by the fun ironing board cover I picked up earlier this summer at the antique mall between Indiana and Ohio! I've even pieced the sashings and the pinwheel cornerstones. This just needs to be set together. I'll deal with borders once I get the top done. I'm thinking a sawtooth border thing to take the triangles to the outside edge of the quilt. I can never tell ahead of time what I want to do. And I'll probably deal with the borders when I get back home.
In this bag: Would you believe it is 156 blocks in shades of green/red/raspberry?! I spent many hours kitting this, but that's what Lifetime Movie Network is good for! Now I can just sit and sew these...it's going to be great.
In this bag: 252 2.5" X 19" strips for another quilt...all colors and values. I really DO like the "kitchen sink" variety of scrap quilt the best...it gives me so much to look at when putting colors together!
My ever bursting bag of recycled fabric strings! I'm working on some string blocks to go with some other blocks that I'm doing with 1.5" leader/ender squares also out of recycled fabrics and muslin. Of course, kitting up the other two quilts gave me even MORE strings to shove into this bag. A project for every bit of every fabric!
I really have learned that when sewing on the road....I get MORE sewing time in if I can kit up my projects ahead of time. With all the hours it took to cut these up, I have given myself that many more hours of real sewing time while on the road! It's like doubling the retreat time if you can do all the cutting ahead.
When I leave Ohio, I'll be heading up to Michigan to meet up with Lucy, Isabeau and Joes who are coming over from The Netherlands for Gwen Marston's retreat with me!! WHoowohoooo! We've had this planned for about a year, and I can't believe it is finally here. My car will be packed with not only my trunkshow stuff, but FOUR sewing machines so they each have something to sew with while at the retreat! My car has 3 feather weights, and I'm not sure if I am bringing Shotgun the Bernina or the Singer 301 I bought in June as my own machine. I'm thinking about it! What's a girl to do with too many machines? :cD
The theme for the retreat this year is applique combined with piecing. Not wanting to start a new UFO, I think it's time I do something with an old one. This is an Oak Leaf and Reel I started when I lived in IDAHO believe it or not...so that is what...10 years ago? Too much muslin, too many of the same fabrics. All the blocks are THE SAME. Yes, this is NOT a scrap quilt. I think I wanted muslin because I wanted the hand quilting to show...and it will when I get to it, but right now...BORING SNORING is more how I feel about it. So here is my applique part.
The question is....do I want to do some really amazing pieced border on it?(I've got my pieced borders book with me for design inspiration) or do I want to take the blocks apart, insert a really cool pieced sashing, put it back together and THEN border it? I need some life added to this thing. Feel free to send me suggestions! I've even got 3 extra blocks that didn't make it into this on-point layout. I think I was originally going to set them straight. So...I could add pieced sashing and reset them straight again! PS. The blocks finish at 16". I've got plenty of the red/chedder/muslin fabrics. I don't have any more of that same green, but I've pulled lots similar to it. We'll see what I come home with, aye?

If you take apart this quilt - meaning picking out all that hand quilting and then rip apart the blocks to add in a sashing - I don't care how ... in your words..."really amazing pieced border" it is - you are NUTS!! INSANE!!!
I can't imagine being this far along on any quilt much less this beautiful of one.. and thinking about taking it all apart to start over.
Life's too short! :P Bonnie, you silly girl you!
Love from Texas! ~bonnieLOL, got your reply email... guess all those wrinkles looked like hand quilting to me LOL :) If it's just a top then go for it! :)
Also forgot to mention I love all the baggies of "Kits" :) I know you've been working hard on them... can't wait until S&ST part 2 comes out to see what they grow up to be ;)
Love from Texas! ~bonnieI am with Patti and Aloha Jo, take that baby apart and work your magic! Can't wait to see what you do to it....I love how you prepare for your trips, no wonder you accomplish so much. You were living in Idaho 10 years ago???? Me too, LOL...I know we keep having Idaho conversations, but heck I love the place and would do just about anything to get back there...
Have a fabulous trip/retreat/show
triciaoh I love the quilt the way it is, I am sure you can add some awesome quilting in those "white" spaces!
I think you should just do an awesome border and call it a quilt.
if you don't like it you can always send it to me
I LOVE it already.
Have a great trip and oh How I wish I was in this class too would be fun to meet all of you!
KathieI too, love all the white spaces and would hate to see it taken apart.
However, I think you could find a way to repeat the leaf shapes in a pieced border. The large leaves look like a diamond shape connected to a long rectangle (the stem). Set those in a row divided by cheddar triangles outlined with red strips. It would give the quilt unity without losing the lovely floating motifs.I love how it represents your progress as a quilter (even though you never made it to the finish line). It would look nice with simple sashing. The white areas are perfect for some of your fabulous quilting. Triangles in the border and sashing would be great, but I think the color pallette needs to be stable. I would love to see some type of swag in the border. On a second look, I see the teardrop leaves. Perhaps you could alternate the applique blocks with the honeybee block.

Smith & Wollensky Steakhouse - Las Vegas
Online Reservations
We always come to S&W when we are in Vegas for their great steaks!! It was my 50th so I was looking forward to my fav NY strip steak. The waiter, Mike V was great, I got a bday dessert! Oddly for a steakhouse on a tuesday they were Out OF NY strip ! Wow that's disappointing for a steakhouse to be out of this popular cut of meat. I had to order a ribbye which was far too much 4 me. Still will come back!
Although the food was very good, we didn't feel as though it was worth the price. As we have been to other top rated steak houses where the food has been exceptional, they made the pricing worth wanting to go back. What made our experience wonderful was our server, Oscar was knowledgable, kind, and has a great sense of humor! He was the reason we left completely satisfied. :)
We had been pleased with the very high standards of the NYC resto, and expected excellence. They succeeded in going beyond excellence. Super service, from the greeting through dessert snd exit. Highly recommend
Best ever Steaks and chops...We had the bone in ribeye and the rack of lamb...Both were perfect...no improvement possible. Great service...wonderful wine list. I'm a repeat customer and the experience seems to get better as time goes by...will certainly return.
We have been trying to get to this restaurant for a few years. Our schedule finally made it work. We were NOT disappointed. The service was outstanding and the food was delicious. We will definitely be back!
Pop's is an old school Vegas tender on the strip, in the best way. makes a great martini and remembers your name. My wife and I actually ate at the bar. Staff and management are all great and we will be making this regular in our restaurant rotation.
When visiting Las Vegas we always include Smith & Wollensky Steak House as one of our dining spots. Eating here is quieter then hotel dining and they offer great Ribeye and Filet Mignon. Also enjoy their soups, Spinach Salad, and extensive wine list. This last visit everything was delicious except for some over done grilled vegetables. Their food is superior to either Gallagher's or The Palm. We do miss their valet parking which is gone for over a year although they have a large parking area behind the restaurant accessed from the side.
My friends took me to Smith & Wollensky for my 36th B'day, I had a great time, I live in Las Vegas and my friends and I love eating out at high end steak houses through out the valley and Smith & Wollensky is right up there with the best! Great food & great service.
The night we were there, they were out of T-bones, porterhouse, and lamb chops. Kind of odd . But steaks we did have were good. Lighting is a little bright for our liking.
We took advantage of restaurant week to try Smith and Wollensky. I had the iceberg salad, which was fairly good, but the blue cheese dressing didn't have much of a taste, it was just ok. The salmon with pancetta was very good and cooked perfectly. The chocolate cake was light and airy, good flavor. The service was excellent. Our waiter was extremely attentive and was detailed on explaining the various steak options.
Service was excellent! One of our steaks was a little overcooked, medium not medium rare, and the waiter said to replace it with another to make sure our dining experience was perfect. It was. Thank you Matt. The sides were also perfect as well as the appetizers. I highly recommend this as a place for romantic getaway or place to have a small gathering.
Seafood was good, also the Steak was good but the sides were very heavy with garlic which made them all taste similar and if you dont like strong garlic - well you're screwed..!
nice seating area, very good services and perfect steacks
We had a great lunch on their patio. The food and drink was a good as the people watching. Mac + Cheese is outstanding and a must have !
The food and service was the best I've ever had. I highly recommend this place !!
Old style steakhouse meets new style cooking! Classic meat prep, with nice new style items like Mac and Cheese with truffles. Quality is King here, and even the sides are better than average. Service is top and the food is great. Have been here twice this week and depending on your table location, depends on the noise level. If noise is not your thing, ask for a quiet spot.
S&W is always great, but we never miss wine week. Enjoy their great food and taste some really good wines!!!
Consistently outstanding service, with attentive and knowledgeable about food and wine/cocktail offerings. The space can feel cozy and intimate, or crowded and noisy depending on the mix of clientele. Overall, this is a great choice for a steakhouse on the strip.
Smith and Wollensky wine week is a wonderful opportunity to get together with friends. We take a table for 12 every year and fill it with 12 fun ladies - some new to the event and some come every year - and have a delightfully fun time every year. I highly recommend it.
Our lunch was great, we have the steak, awesome, but also enjoyable were the sides, the onion rings, potatoes, soups and salads all had a delicous twist that made it better than most places. Our server was attentive and had good suggestions
We had a business dinner here, a table of 5, and had a wonderful experience. From drinks and the seafood tower, to the individual plates, it was all well prepared, tasty, and timely. Definitely will go back.
One of the most memorable times in my life. Excellent food, drinks and service.
Overall very good. An excellent place for a large business group get-together..
Smith and Wollensky was a typical steakhouse restaurant. The experience was like every other steakhouse. There was nothing unique although the prices were higher than some of their competitors. The wait staff was attentive. I will most likely not be a repeat customer.
...these guys know their business better than anyone else and everywhere they are.
My husband and I ate here and the food was so so good. Best steak ever side dishes were served in cute little pans and the food honestly was at a great price . We live in Dallas and that same meal would have been 250.00. We shared a steak and two sides and had food left. And what I really enjoyed was I wanted one side item and my husband wanted something else and when our order came out the waiter had orderd half side orders for us so we both were happy we each received what we really wanted. I thought this was a nice touch of service. Extremely nice place
The food is outstanding, the wine list is reasonable with great selections, service was outstanding, never miss a dinner when I go to Las Vegas, or any location that they operate. There carrot cake is still the best, desserts are not something I look for in this type of restaurant, but they have one of the best, but, be hungry it feeds a few people.
the food is outstanding and the service is excellent. I have eaten here several times and never had a bad experience. Everything was terrific
It was such a good and special experience to dine here. The service was just perfect, very friendly and the food was amazing. The temperature in the restaurant was a bit to chilly and all together I would recommend the restaurant to everybody. Thanks
This is supposed to be a traditional, old school steakhouse. The service, hospitality, and ambience evoke memories of similar restaurants in nyc and Chicago. I have no complaints here. However, when it comes down to the primary reason for dropping $400 on a dinner for two, it fell woefully short. My bone in rib eye arrived perfectly, medium rare, but it was devoid of flavor. I seriously mean NO flavor. I cannot imagine how anyone could screw up a fine steak, let alone serve it. It could be that i drew a bad steak out of deck, but for these prices i won't give them a 2nd chance.
We went as a group of six friends out for a night on the town before we went to a show at the Mirage (had to catch the MLB Dodgers playoffs while eating (we lost)). The restaurant made sure our table was in an area we could catch a glimpse of the bar TV. Our waiter Matt really went overboard to make sure we had a a spectacular time. We will be back again next year for another re-union. Ask for matt when you go.
Everything about this restaurant was superb. Food was outstanding with a large and varied menu to fit anyone's taste, customer service was top notch. No request was too much trouble. Desserts to die for!
Is the best in the world, better than Alexanders (Michelin star) and Ramsey's in the Paris LV hotel.
Very gracious host met us at the door. We arrived early for our reservation but were seated promptly. Very good service, attentive, but not overbearing. Food was excellent! We both had the 10 ounce filets and they were cooked to perfection.
We enjoyed our steaks very much and they were cooked exacly to our liking. On three on the tables there was a a terrible draft which made clients keep moving from these tables. To sum up the food and service were top quality but a little expensive.
Started the evening in a very quiet dining room...earlier than most. We had exeptional service by a team who were interested in our overall dining experience. Food and wine were wonderful! Everyone's a winner at S&W Las Vegas! Thank you...S
We've dined here many times and it never lets us down as our best dining experience in vegas
First time here with a party of six on a Sunday afternoon. Choices for everyone from a delightful brunch menu to the regular menu everything look delicious! Service was outstanding and our party had a window table to view the action on the Las Vegas strip. What a great combination. Will come again
We came to Smith&Wollensky Las Vegas especially for the Porterhouse; we ate it in S&W New York restaurant couple of years ago. It was at the same level, but I couldn't say the same thing about the baked potato and the dessert. Over all, we were satisfied about our dinner and deffinetely we'll come again in our next trip.
Our first time and everything was perfect. Gotta try the truffle mac and cheese.
Ordered the Fritto Misto and Mussels both of which were fantastic but we realised right away one portion was large enough for two.. There was only one Sauvignon Blanc on the wine list which was slightly disappointing. The steaks arrived and they were great, we ordered too many vegetable as well. Finished off with the Apple Strudel, which is their unusual version but very pleasant. Its expensive for Vegas when you eat through the menu with 3 courses costing over $160/ head inc. a generous tip but it was well worth it. Overall this was one of the best steak meals we had had in Las Vegas and we have eaten on the Strip a lot since we live here part of the year. We highly recommend it, is an up market change from the usual resort venues.
The food and service were excellent. I don't think they had our online reservation when we arrived, but we were early enough in the evening that they were able to seat us immediately at an excellent table.
May sound like a John Candy movie, but the $99 Porterhouse is excellent and (relatively) good value. With an appetizer and salad, this one very large steak fed 2 adults and 2 pre-teens, and it includes potatoes and vegetables with the meal.
When in Vegas, everyone tends to eat in the Casino Restaurants. This however is not in a Casino, but on the strip close to MGM Grand. The Service, and Food here was OUTSTANDING............
The coffee cocoa encrusted filet and the bone in ribeye both melted in my mouth like butta- butter. OUTSTANDING. Dont forget the Chocolate Hazelnut Creme Brulee to finish it all off- no matter how full you are!
I have been to Vegas numerous times and have always wondered what was going on inside the odd looking building on the strip nestled between some cheap gift shops, with annoying peddlers on the sidewalk out front. Don't let the location on the strip fool you. Inside the white and hunter green building a quintessential steak house experience awaits you. The food is generous, and perfectly cooked. The steaks are enormous, as are the baked potatoes. The wait staff is very attentive. If you are looking for a traditional steak house experience at its finest, you can't go wrong at Smith and Wollensky's.
Our group of 7 dined here in Las Vegas and experienced one of the best steak dinners ever. From the filet/lobster combo (mine!) to the huge rib eyes and porterhouses, everyone's offering was exquisitly prepared and savored to the last bite. My wedge salad started things off and the bar service helped to end our evening appropriately. Well done!!!
My mother and I went to Smith & Wollensky before seeing Andrea Bocelli at the MGM. We had an early reservation so there were not many patrons at the restaurant so we basically had the place to ourselves. The service was perfect, as always. The food was perfect, as always.
Without even trying they put us in a room glassed off from the kitchen and it held my group perfectly! Wait staff was wonderfully attentive food was great all in all a great experience! If I could fault them for anything it would be that 2 steaks came out a little undercooked which was quickly rectified. Would definitely go back!
Wow where do I begin. I had the bone in ribeye and it was by far the best steak I have ever eaten. Next time I'm in Vegas my first meal will be here. My waiter, I believe his name was mike, treated us like family and we shared a couple laughs with him. I usually don't like a waiter standing around talking to me because they can get annoying but I found myself trying to keep the conversation going. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone even though it is a bit pricey BUT well worth every penny.

Daniel Boone was among the longhunters who traveled the Appalachian Mountains to hunt and trade. Legend says that he had to leave behind his ailing red horse on the peak of the mountain. When he returned the following spring, he found the horse alive and healthy. It is said that he named the spot Roan Mountain, in honor of his horse.
Roan Mountain State Park encompasses 2,006 acres of southern Appalachian forest at the base of 6,285-foot Roan Mountain. Park elevation ranges from 3,000 feet in the valley to around 3,700 feet on surrounding ridges. Rich hardwood forests allow for a great diversity of life and a wide range of outdoor activities. Doe River bisects the park and provides a healthy environment for legendary trout fishing.
Park guests have opportunities to hike along creeks and ridges, fish for trout, play tennis, swim, tour a century-old farmhouse, join rangers and naturalists for educational programs, and enjoy mountain music concerts. Wildflowers and wildlife inhabit the hollows and ridges of the Roan foothills in abundance. From Dutchman's breeches to deer, trillium to turkeys, bee balm to black bears, there is always something to discover. The Appalachian Trail and famous Rhododendron Gardens of Roan Mountain can be accessed at Carver's Gap, an 8-mile drive from the park.

Well, after a month of planning and lots of late nights, everything fell into place for my son Harvey's 5th birthday party on Saturday. The theme was Lego and the emphasis was on colour (and lots of it!)
I had an absolute ball with this theme, and enjoyed creating a whole range of party printable items which will be available soon in my Etsy shop. I usually have a crack at the cake and biscuits myself, but this time around I enlisted the skills of the awesomely-talented Lisa from Cakes & Biscuits By Lisa.
It all started with this invitation design...
...and from there I started creating graphics to use on everything from buffet labels to lolly bags.
Here's the dessert table, with personalised Lego man bunting in the background...
And here is the awesomely-brilliant cake by Lisa at Cakes & Biscuits By Lisa. Lisa was able to capture EXACTLY what I wanted and used her clever hands and oodles of creative talent to come up with the centrepiece for this quirky and colourful party!
Check out the orange construction cone candles - aren't they fabulous? Such a great idea Lisa!
And a special shout-out has to go to my almost-7-year-old Hugo who built the Lego vehicles for me for the cake. Saved mum a job and kept him occupied!
And now we move onto the snack table. This was the table I let the kids hit first, as it wasn't ALL sugar like the dessert table. They also had a sit-down lunch of savoury yummies before it was time for the desserts.
And what's a party without some games? As well as a 'Draw Your Own Lego Character' colouring competition, we also had a 'Pin The Brick In The Wall' game (our Lego version of Pin The Tail On The Donkey), free-range Lego on the lounge-room rug, and some Lego tower-building races. I created all the graphics for the games, which I just kept simple and effective.
So all-in-all, a super-fun party which Harvey and his friends thoroughly enjoyed. Here's an example of Harvey's excitement level when he saw the dessert table all set up...
And here he is after he'd calmed down a little...
And here we are having a quick cuddle just before it was cake-cutting time. We had to bid farewell to that gorgeous cake before we starting hacking it to bits! (sorry Lisa...hahaha).
So that was Harvey's Lego party! Now I need to turn my mind to Hugo's 7th birthday party in a month. So, time to get the creative cogs turning again...
Thanks for reading. :o)

Stepdown fuel pump gasket thickness
What is the thickness supposed to be for the fuel pump gasket? I've seen talk about making sure to use the thick gasket when dealing with the fuel pump, can't find a thickness measurement. Well, my '52 (AC double-action pump) had a thin gasket when I got it. I would like to make my own, and need a thickness dimension. Or, do I use the thin gasket? Operation seems fine, that I can tell.
Thanks!Six in a row makes it GO! -
When the old one came off, there should have been a gasket stack, that was about 3/8 to 1/2 thick. You want to use that. It is like a spacer. I would use some RTV on both the new gasket and the stack, never had a problem. I am using the 83 AMc pacer fuel pump, which is a direct bolt on, but got to route the line, a tight bend.
The gasket stack (spacer)is probably more of a heat issolation effort than
anything. The theory was vapor-loc seemed to start in the fuel pump on Hudson's.
As you said the pump will fit with a thin gasket. However I have used that AMC one mentioned without a thick gasket and got a knock.

Yeah, vapor lock is an issue with the pump. I plan on plumbing a bypass when I get to dealing with the gas tank.
And some have said running without the spacer will destroy the pump. Mine didn't have one when I got it, so I want to be sure I have things right.Six in a row makes it GO! -
What is the proper thickness of the gasket stack for a 1946 8-cylinder?
I maybe wrong here, but i believe the spacer does more than just stop heat transfer, Its for the lever of the fuel pump to ride on the cam in the correct position to get the correct lift on the fuel pump lever for the diaphragm to pump.
hope that helps -
It serves bolth - look back a few posts. You stepped into the middle here,
RogerRetired Tech. -
i was just trying to clarify why the spacer is needed and explain if its not used a guy would damage his fuel pump.
no harm intended just adding to the post for future references. -
Read the shop manual. I believe it calls the thickness 5/16th's and some other procedure to go with it. I just removed a broken fuel pump from a '39cc8. It had no spacer ,just a gasket that was about .015 thick with alot of silicone.
The gasket pack is 3/16 to 1/4 inch. It's used to make the pump arm flat spot ride in the middle against the cam. With no gasket pack, just check where the cam is riding, up on the arm and not on the flat spot. With to thick a pack it will ride on the end of the flat spot and do damage to the cam. AMC pumps must use either thickness I stated above. No gasket pack, broken arm, to thick, not enough pressure. You want 4 to 4 1/2 pounds of fuel pressure. Walt.
Thanks Walt, exactly what I needed. With all the different thicknesses thrown around I wasn't sure what to do. Then you slap me in the face with the obvious answer... "Look where the wear is!" Eh, not the first time, definetly not the last, that the simple answer slips through the murky, cluttered mess of my brain.Six in a row makes it GO!
Walt--is the measurement the same for a pre-stepdown 8-cylinder?
I make and sell the correct gasket pack as it must be tightened and will be all you need. If you have my tech tip books, go to volume one (1), page 34 and it has the complete story about pumps on 42 to 47. Yes, they require a spacer and the bakelite sleeves. I have this item also. Walt.

Congrats to Larkin for getting into the HOF. Too bad it came at the expense of Edgar.
Former Mariners DH Edgar Martinez received 36.5 percent of the vote in Monday's National Baseball Hall of Fame balloting, a step forward from 2011 voting but still shy of the 75 percent needed for election.
A candidate must receive votes from three-quarters of the Baseball Writers' Association of America voters to gain election
Martinez will be back on the ballot in 2013 for his 4th chance at Cooperstown.
Edgar played his entire 18-years with the Mariners and made 7 All-Star teams, won 5 Silver Slugger Awards and 2 American League batting championships.
We hope 2013 is his year! Good Luck Edgar.

Thanks for rating this design!
A fascinating logo that uses a really interesting colour combination. The blues of the logotype work very well together but I'm unconvinced by their marriage to the background.
I do like the textured effect on the type, however, and the standardised curvature of the letters.

Kim Kardashian's pregnancy didn't shock just her audience; it also shocked the reality-TV personality herself.
The 32-year-old socialite, who is expecting a baby with rapper Kanye West, told Savannah Guthrie of Today that she faced fertility problems similar to her sister's.
"Khloe has been very open about her fertility issues, and I think I was always really kind of quiet about mine," she said of her 28-year-old sister, who would like to have a child with husband Lamar Odom.
"It was a pleasant surprise when so many doctors were telling me one thing and then the opposite happens," Kim said. "I think it's just such a blessing, knowing my circumstances." The baby is due in July.

Settling Along The National Buffalo River just off highway 21
Ponca Arkansas, USA.
Canon PowerShot S3IS F/8 ISO_100
Abraham Villines, and his children were among the earliest pioneer families in the Buffalo River valley. Abraham's grandson William built this log house in 1850 for his new bride, Rebecca. Four years later their son James was born here.
James Villines (1854-1948) was known as " Beaver Jim" for his trapping abilities. After his marriage in 1880, he moved from this home to his own farmstead across the Buffalo River.
In the mid-twentieth century, Villines family descendants used this house as a barn..with the chimney still attached. Today the notched, and hand- hewn logs recall the pioneers that carved their homes out of the Buffalo River wilderness.

Nestled in the heart of the Long Island Sound, the city of Bridgeport is the most populous city in the state of Connecticut, but still maintains the quaint atmosphere of a small town. Comprised of 13 distinctive neighborhoods and full of proud community spirit, it is easy to see why Bridgeport apartments for rent have become such a hot commodity. Coastal access, an appreciation for the arts and a pro-business attitude are just some of the reasons why it is the most sought-after city in Connecticut. According to City-Data, the city has seen a growth in population from 2000 to 2010, indicating that Bridgeport is a place that many families want to be a part of.
Bridgeport was originally part of the township of Stratford, with its first recorded settlements beginning in 1659. However, Bridgeport did not become a city in its own right until 1836. The city quickly became known for its shipbuilding and whaling industries throughout the 19th century. Due to its ideal geographic location along the Long Island Sound, Bridgeport has always attracted both visitors and residents for centuries. Today, the city has morphed into Connecticut's largest and most well-known hub for dining, entertainment, culture and business. According to information from the 2010 U.S. Census Bureau, the city is home to more than 144,000 residents, and that number is expected to grow as more people in the New England area discover what this charming city has to offer.
This town is perhaps best known for its commitment to promoting arts in the community, so it should come as no surprise that the area's biggest annual event is the Bridgeport Arts Fest held during the summer. Each year, a celebration in Bridgeport is held that features original artwork and crafts, live entertainment and demonstrations and food and drinks.

The USDA Crop Progress report shows that planters aren't wasting any time. From corn, to cotton to soybeans to spring wheat, the machinery is on the move.
For King Corn, Iowa farmers were stellar performers moving the "planted" needle from 9% on the dial last week to 50% this week - that now puts Iowa ahead of its 32% five-year planted average for April 29. Other states that had week-over-week jumps included Minnesota from 11% to 48%; Nebraska from 14% to 44%; and South Dakota from 8% to 31%. For the 18 key states that planted 92% of corn acreage last year, total corn planted topped 53%, running well above the 27% average.
Cotton planting is running ahead of schedule too, with all but North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia beating their five-year averages. Drought-solving rains in some parts of the region are probably bringing a welcome delay to planting, but overall the key cotton states are 26% planted versus a 19% 5-year average.
As for spring wheat planting? The records continue. Every one of the six spring wheat producing states is well ahead of the 5-year average and so far 74% of the crop is planted in those states versus 32% for the average. In fact South Dakota shows 97% completed with Minnesota right behind at 93%. And emergence is ahead of schedule too with 30% emerged for the six key states versus 8% in a normal year.

I am thinking on working on an ERP system that I can sell or support on it. Currently, I have OpenERP and Tryton in my mind. Based on the comparison done on Wikipedia and other website, I was noticed by these two terms as mentioned in the title. I like the idea of Commercial Open Source as I can be more confident that someone is always working on that product. But my concern would be that will a Commercial Open Source be a proprietary software suddenly? How can these two models affects my business in future?
Many commercial open source projects start by giving a lot for free, to get traction, but later focus more and more on not-free versions to monetize their work. This doesn't mean that they'll take away from the free open source license what they already contributed - that would be impossible if they adopt any of the main open source licenses - but they start publishing new features only in the paid version so that more and more people will convert to it, and the free version starts to languish. At some point it can be abandoned altogether, but you can still use the last published free version. In community-driven projects this can't happen, but it is always possible that the project loses steam and updates stop coming in. The web is full of abandoned open source projects; their fate is pretty much the same of an abandoned free version of a commercial open source project. So in the end the risks are pretty similar: You could end up with a product that doesn't get any update, which in many cases isn't such a big problem. For ERP I think it is, though, especially if you want to use it also for fiscal purposes. At least with commercial open source you'll know that, if the developer company doesn't go bankrupt, you'll be able to get the paid version, if you really need it and can afford it at that time. One last thing: You can also take a look at OpenBravo. Some of my coworkers work with it and they're happy enough with it. | |||||||||
I'm not sure how relevant the Commercial/Community distinction is here. The most important question is the license that the open source project is distributed under, as that determines what you can do with it. OpenERP is distributed under the Affero license and Tryton is distributed under the GPL. Both of these licenses require you to make your changes available under certain conditions. Are you ok with sharing the changes you make to this code? If not, then make sure you understand the details of the licenses. Even if the open-source code is later made proprietary you still have the rights to use the code that was released under the Affero and GPL licenses as the licenses are irrevocable. You just won't have the rights to later versions. | |||

AirForce brand air rifles are considered to be some of the most advanced rifles available. Using aircraft grade aluminum alloy, space age polymers and state of the art production techniques you don't just get a typical air rifle, you get a technologically advanced piece of machinery! With outstanding power, accuracy and advanced production techniques, AirForce air rifles will not disappoint. The AirForce Talon is the original AirForce rifle that offers one of the best combination of power, weight and balance available.
The Talon uses an 18 inch Lothar Walther barrel to ensure maximum accuracy. This gives the Talon outstanding accuracy and the ability to shoot 1 inch or less groupings at 50 yards easily, once you get your iron sights or scope (both sold separately) 'zeroed' in. This makes it one of the most precise air rifles we have encountered here at Airgun Depot.
Being a PCP (pre-charged pneumatic) rifle, a pump or scuba refilll clamp must be purchased or you will not be able to fire your rifle. We recommend the AirForce pump to insure you get the maximum power out of your rifle with out having to lug around a Scuba tank or take it to get charged constantly after each outing when using the Scuba Refilll Clamp with Adapter. Both are excellent ways to charge your guns pneumatic system and get it ready for shooting.
The Talon has many other highlights, like the easily adjustable power reel that is located on the barrel, a two-stage adjustable trigger and automatic safety as well as the ergonomic feel and overall light weight.
Don't forget to pick up a scope or standard optic sights for this rifle or other AirForce accessories because they are not included with this package. It is also recommended to pick up a gun case and a .177 caliber maintence kit of your choice to keep your rifle in excellent condition.

Aquagirls' Scotton named all-state by IGHSAU
Following a fifth-place finish in the 100-yard freestyle at the 2012 Iowa Girls State Swim Meet in Marshalltown earlier this month, Newton-Colfax-Mingo-Pella sophomore Hannah Scotton has been named second-team all-state by the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union.
All-state swimming and diving teams are based on the best time performances achieved at the state meet. The top three performances in each individual event are honored as first team all-state, and the performances with the fourth, fifth and sixth times are honored as second team all- state.
Scotton placed fifth at state Nov. 3 in a school-record time of 58.98 seconds. It was 1.21 seconds faster than the time seed time she posted at regionals one week earlier, which seeded her eighth.

i had been eyeing these bad boys for so long and finally decided to buy them. i am so glad i did because they are amazing! totally on trend! not only are they a very wearable ombre that matches with everything, but the waxing has a little bit of sheen that makes them easily translatable from casual to dressy. love the gold buttons/accents as well.

Silver Creek finds a way to handle its wastewater
In the early 2000s development along the corridor between Two Harbors and the Silver Creek tunnel became the topic of growing concern for residents, township officials and Lake County. An area that had been the location of summer cabins and small mom and pop resorts had grown to include significantly more year-round dwellings, larger resorts such as Superior Shores and other businesses—155 parcels in total, according to data collected by Silver Creek Township. While this growth brought economic benefits to the region, it also placed demands on the systems used for waste water treatment.By: Tammy Francois, Lake County News Chronicle

Now Open! 2013 Nature's Best Photography Windland-smith Rice Competition

Now Open! 2013 Nature's Best Photography Windland-Smith Rice International Awards Competition 2013 FAA has some outstanding nature photographers who have a real shot at winning or placing in this competition. There are lots of different categories ... something for everyone -- landscapes, oceans, macro, wildlife, people in nature, etc. Be sure to check it out. The winners and even the runners up, I believe, all get their work displayed in an exhibit at the Smithsonian in Washington, DC. They usually select a pro, amateur and youth winner and runnerup in each category. The exhibit I attended in DC years ago when I lived there was spectacular. It got a lot of visitors too ... all potential buyers. http://www.naturesbestphotography.com/enter_guidelines.php

Make sure you read ALL of the rules; Interesting and I'm sure there are those that will take it up. My problem with it - I don't keep records of what I shoot at - and wouldn't remember five minutes later if I did. Nature shooting for me is usually from the hip while walking/hiking - seldom a set up and record keeping. would be nice though.

2 get life for drug-related fatal shooting
2 Florida Panhandle men get life in prison for drug-related fatal shooting
PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) — Two Pensacola men have been sentenced to life in prison for a drug-related shooting that left one teen dead and another wounded.
An Escambia County judge sentenced Novel Austin and James Dortch, both 21, on Wednesday after a jury convicted them of first-degree and attempted first-degree murder.
Authorities say Austin shot 17-year-old Keondrick Abrams and 18-year-old Tykey Douglas in their heads in December 2011 during a setup involving a drug deal and subsequent robbery. According to the Pensacola News Journal, prosecutors claimed Dortch was also present and conspired with Austin to carry out the crimes.
Defense attorneys argued there was no DNA evidence against Austin and Dorch and that testimony from Douglas, who survived the shooting, was unreliable.

I do need to say this for "The Shocker"...I understand the frustration!
Before I filed my complaint, I formally informed everyone from my Supervisor all the way up to the SAC and no one replied nor wanted to talk to me. You know why? Because they closed ranks.
You know what my office crime was that started all this BS?
Being a true professional, having pride in myself, being from the "Wrong side of the tracks" and befriending someone who has been ostracized.
So yes, I truly understand your point and exactly where you're coming from because out of an office of over 20 people...EVERYONE knows I'm being harassed.
Majority sits back and laugh with the harasser because I'm sure they have the "If you can't beat them join them" or the "Better her than me" syndrome. This mentality contributes to the bad behavior.
Other people turn a blinds eye to the things they know that's wrong...Why...because it's not affecting them. That's also the "Better her than me" syndrome.
I have been raised and matured in believing in doing the right thing at all cost. It's not my fault other people don't share the same integrity.
The majority feel people who are complaining about harassment is petty. It's always petty to someone else...until it happens to them specifically.
Only 1 person was willing to speak up and go on the record for me...and that individual has been harassed to the point that they decided to just take the retirement offered (ostracized individual).
I would like to also add, I have encountered people who have been harassed and their concept is because I'm not an Agent or haven't been with the Agency as long as they have...it's not the same.
Well...news flash...that's how all of this BS began.
Harassment is harassment...regardless of your job description...regardless of how long you been with the agency.
And although I'm not an Agent...I have been deployed to deadly locations...and served my country Honorably. I know of many Agents that have not served in the Armed Forces...but I don't judge them because I have the mature mentality in respecting the service they offer the country from the Agency standpoint and understanding everyone's walk of life is different.
So for me...I take great offense to the mentality of some individuals feeling their employment hell is worse than mine. That's just an example of how **it rolls downhill.
As long as one person feel another person's issues are less significant...it's that kind of thinking that adds on to the snowball effect of ignorance.
"Shocker" I do feel your frustration and understand the overall concept...if you have over 50 bad apples and only 1 good one in the entire barrel...when are you going to stop picking from the same tree?
And no...I do not believe everyone employed with ATF is corrupt.
However, when you have people putting their careers and pensions on the line to speak out and do the right thing...and no one wants to speak up because they're only concerned with themselves...it makes the silent individuals just as liable as the individuals behaving badly.
Those are the very people willing to sit back and lie when questioned. And when I say lie, I mean when they are asked what they know about the situation, they say "Nothing."
There are strength in numbers and when enough people are willing to stand together...as a collective group (Class Action)...and seek out to inform on offices like the Special Counsel, Ombudsmans, and EEO.
Those offices are reporting directly to ATF's higher ups and are only acting in the best interest of ATF. These offices are aware of the Retaliation within the agency.
People go to the Media because they've exhausted all measures of relief.
Because you see how quick Newell threw out the office of Special Counsel and Ombudsmans office as a place where people can go if they have issues. We all know it's BS...but does the right people in the right places know it's BS? That's the real question!
So in the end, I understand the frustration because it is painful to see a handful of individuals being crucified when...per the EEO office stats along...over 300 people are having the same problems and suffering in their own private "Office Hell."
...Just sayin'
I have spoken every word you just said at one time or another. I see you've met 'those people' and my heart and prayers go out to you. Hang in there and know you certainly aren't alone. Hell, at this point you seem to be in the majority.
