Fire Department, Aging in Paradise explore possible collaboration
Date: February 5, 2013
by: Robin Hartill | City Editor
Longboat Key Fire Rescue and Aging in Paradise Resource Center officials are discussing possible ways to collaborate on assisting the Key's senior population.
Fire Rescue Chief Paul Dezzi met with AIP Director Cindy Clay and Longboat Island Chapel board member Dick Pelton Monday morning to discuss ways to work together. He plans to have a representative attend future AIP meetings.
"I think we, as a fire department/EMS agency can do well with the agency," Dezzi said.
The department will include information about AIP when it distributes medical information door-to-door and participate in a March 9 health fair at the chapel.
Dezzi also gave AIP more than 200 File of Life magnets, which allow residents to post vital information such as medications and emergency contact numbers on their refrigerators, for distribution.
Dezzi believes that working with the AIP and promoting its preventative programs could even reduce 911-call volume.
AIP is a community service initiative of the Longboat Island Chapel.
For more information, pick up a Feb. 7 copy of the Longboat Observer.
Contact Robin Hartill at email@example.com.

To be assured consideration, comments must be received at one of the addresses provided below, no later than 5 p.m. on April 8, 2013. 42 CFR Parts 416, 442, 482, 483, 485, 486, 488, 491, and 493 This proposed rule would reform Medicare regulations that CMS has identified as unnecessary, obsolete, or excessively burdensome on health care providers and suppliers, as well as certain regulations under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA). This proposed rule would increase the ability of health care professionals to devote resources to improving patient care, by eliminating or reducing requirements that impede quality patient care or that divert resources away from providing high quality patient care.

This rule also establishes requirements for the Home Health and Hospice quality reporting programs. This final rule will also establish requirements for unannounced, standard and extended surveys of home health agencies (HHAs) and sets forth alternative sanctions that could be imposed instead of, or in addition to, termination of the HHA's participation in the Medicare program, which could remain in effect up to a maximum of 6 months, until an HHA achieves compliance with the HHA Conditions of Participation (CoPs) or until the HHA's provider agreement is terminated.

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Authorities now say the person who said he witnessed a puppy being thrown out a vehicle Friday morning may have done it himself.
The puppy, unfortunately, died.
Authorities said their investigation led them to name the witness as the prime suspect. Animal Law Enforcement said it investigated the case on Friday and reviewed surveillance video from the area.
Officers said they perceived discrepancies in the story reported by the witness/suspect. Animal Law Enforcement is still piecing together what caused the pup's severe internal injuries and trauma.
A necropsy is set to be performed at Colorado State University, officials said.
According to the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region (HSPPR), its veterinary staff worked for several hours trying to save a 4-month-old blue merle Australian cattle dog.
The Humane Society said the witness/suspect reported the girl pup was thrown out of a small SUV-type vehicle at around 7:45 a.m., on Garden of the Gods Road, west of Interstate 25 near Village Inn.
The witness said he was leaving the restaurant and saw the puppy being thrown out. He said he then rushed to help her. According to the witness, the SUV slowed down and a door opened before it sped away.
Anyone with ANY information on this crime is asked to call (719) 473-1741.
The person accused of throwing the pup outside their vehicle could face felony charges of cruelty to animals.
HSPPR said its veterinary staff tried to manage the puppy's pain and stabilize her.
"The team did a chest tap to remove air and blood leaking into her chest cavity and used an oxygen tent to help her breathe," a release said. "Despite efforts, due to the extent of her internal injuries, she didn't survive."

Once the order was placed the windows were made up as required and installed around in a couple of days two weeks later. They took away all the old windows and left no mess.

This climb is as classic as its neighboors. Start up the easy ground just right of the mini-dark and damp cave, then you reach up and start traversing out the roof on very sharp but good holds, coming to the end of the traverse is the crux of the route and it'll make you work for it. The upper portion of the climb is easier than the rest and on rainy days it isn't even done, once you clip the last fixed extendable draw people just lower off so as not to get soaked by the rain.
Outside of the overhanging section, to the right of Reckless Abandon and left of Pod (5.13b/c). The route starts easy then traverses out the broken looking rock to the high headwall.
Fixed draws. 7 bolts to anchor.
12b in the guidebook. contrary to the description, it is just left of The Mercy Seat (13a/b) not The Pod (also 13a/b), which is several bolt lines away. this route is a classic (10d to a short boulder prob. to 5.9), but needs new nylon--the yellow specta is now almost a year old and who knows about the green webbing!
Eddie, This route is just left of Mercy Seat as you said, but I've heard Mercy Seat called 13b/c, also I don't remember but there is 1 or 2 climbs to the left of this before you get to Reckless Abandon. I just put The Pod, and Reckless there for reference, I wasn't indicating they were right next door. And yes, the slings do need replacing.
The draws are in bad shape too. I noticed several were very worn and sharpened, but I didn't have any extras on me to replace them!
Whoa, so much grade inflation on this page. Neither Pod nor Mercy Seat are anywhere near 13b/c, and Tobacco Road feels like standard 12a; way easier than narcissus, in my opinion. Also, there are now new climbtech permadraws on the route.

All-Clad 6.5 Qt. Electric Slow Cooker with Black Ceramic Insert
Product Review
About GHRI Ratings
XGood Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.
Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.
Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.
The super-sleek slow cooker from All-Clad isn't just attractive; it's a top performer, too. In GHRI tests, it turned out a tender pot roast and perfectly cooked beef stew, and the cooker automatically switches to warming mode when you're done cooking, to boot. The electronic controls are easy to use, plus it has a 26-hour timer and dishwasher-safe parts for quick and easy clean-up. The only downsides: This unit is expensive and will eat up a lot of counter space. allclad.com.

Album review: Wilco - 'Wilco (The Album)'
Tormented themes and a troubled past are light work for a band back to their best
Dabbling in dark subject matter is difficult, but Wilco have got it sussed. From lost love and self-doubt to depression and death, Jeff Tweedy and his band manage to straddle the whole spectrum of sad without resorting to any of the usual painfully predictable theatrical angst or whinnying 'woe is me' delivery. In fact, in this lot's case, it's all done rather breezily and driven by...

Down East 2013 ©
What is "folk art"? All definitions agree that it is created by people who aren't trained artists. It is not mass produced and is both functional and decorative, expressing life's joys — and sometimes sorrows — in everyday objects. Folk art includes items such as weathervanes, quilts, toys, signs, and chests, as well as portraiture and other decorative wall art. It has an established tradition of craftsmanship and style, which often ignores rules of perspective and uses simplified figures.
During the summer and fall of 2008, eleven Maine museums will exhibit their collections of traditional American folk art. In a single loop, you can follow the Maine Folk Art Trail [3] up the scenic coast from York to Searsport, inland to Lewiston, Augusta, and Waterville; and on to hidden treasures such as Bridgton and New Gloucester.
These important exhibitions will feature more than 500 objects, all from Maine collections and most made in Maine. Many of the objects have never been exhibited before. The objects pictured here and their captions are from the accompanying book, published by Down East, titled Folk Art in Maine: Uncommon Treasures 1750-1925 [2], which includes more than 100 of the best examples of folk art in the exhibitions.
Fiddle, Eliphalet Grover, 1821
This musical instrument bears the inscription, "Made on Boone Island by Capt. Eliphalet Grover, 1821." Grover (1778-1855) was lighthouse keeper on Boon Island from 1816 until 1839 and made this and other objects using the scant materials he had at his disposal on the rocky outcropping off the coast of York. Here, he employed split-wood roof shingles to make the top and back of the fiddle. The extraordinary feature of the instrument is the carved and painted human head with which Grover embellished the scroll. Making objects from handy materials and fancifully decorating them with human forms was part of the "entrepreneurial spirit" that got Grover in trouble with the U.S. government. He was dismissed for having sold whale oil intended for the operation of the light and other charges.
Pine, maple, and walnut wood, bone, horn, catgut strings, the polychrome paint survives in full, 25.5'' x 8'' x 1.7''

Sign for the Portland Hook & Ladder Co. #2, Nahum Littlefield, c. 1874
Maine's growing port towns and cities of the nineteenth century rewarded those who could do a variety of jobs and capitalize on a range of opportunities. Nahum Littlefield was typical of folk artists and decorative painters who executed a wide range of commissions: He was a Portland ship carver from about 1850 to 1880 and produced figureheads, sternboards, billet heads, cabin carvings, and other projects for ship owners. Littlefield was also a member of the Portland Fire Department and served as its chief in the 1880s. This sign hung at the Portland Hook & Ladder Co. #2 on India Street. Littlefield was paid $34 for it by the City of Portland.

Lottery sign, Maker unknown, c. 1800-30
Lotteries reached their peak of popularity in the 1820s and were a common way to raise money for private efforts to build bridges, canals, and roadways. In 1827, a critic complained that there were 25 shops in Portland, all peddling lottery tickets. One such shop would have been Major William Francis's, which operated from around 1810 until 1830. Francis bought and sold land and buildings and was an agent for the National Lottery. In 1822, he advertised his location as "Fortune's Temple" on Union Street. This sign, made by an unknown artist, was owned by Francis and advertised the gold coins to be won by engaging in the lottery craze.
Painted wood, 40'' x 30''
Possibly Maine
Maine Historical Society, Gift of Eben Cory
Sea chest, Maker unknown, late-eighteenth or early-nineteenth century
The original snipe hinges, rings remaining from an earlier style of becket, and thick board construction indicate a rather early date for this blue-painted chest. It has three tills in an unusual arrangement, and distinctive decorative painting on the inside of the lid and on the lids of the tills. Seamen did sometimes decorate their own chests, more often they were decorated by a more talented fellow sailor or someone ashore. Three chests have been located with similar construction and decoration, at least two of which were found in attics in Massachusetts. They were likely all made by the same carpenter, but significant differences in the quality of execution of the decoration suggests that different hands were involved in that aspect of the work.

Charles Glidden, E.E. Finch, 1839
Like many paintings of children from the mid-nineteenth century, this one is given additional visual interest by the addition of an animal, in this case a dog. The sitter, Charles Glidden, was about two years old when his portrait was painted and the picture descended in his family to the donor. E.E. Finch (active 1833-47) enjoyed some popularity among Maine's elite during the 1830s and 1840s, especially in the areas of Augusta, Waterville, and Waldoboro. Charles Glidden's parents, Col. John and Mary Glidden, were from Newcastle, Maine.

Ship in a bottle, maker unknown, twentieth century

Penobscot Marine Museum, Gift of Morton and Dena Katzenberg
Village Street, Massachusetts, Artist unknown, c. 1845-50
The artist of this view of an unidentified Massachusetts village captured it in the throes of industrialization. While livestock and horse-drawn vehicles travel the road, new buildings, including an early factory, are carefully rendered in perspective in the background.
Oil on canvas, 28'' x 48''
Origin unknown
Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Ellerton M. Jette, Colby College Museum of Art, The American Heritage Collection
Spruce Gum Boxes, Makers unknown, c. 1880-1920
Woodsmen usually carved spruce-gum boxes during leisure time in lumber camps through long winters of woods work. The boxes were typically carved in the form of a small book with a spine and a sliding lid. They were intended to hold bits of collected spruce resin that, when warmed and softened, could be chewed like gum.
A variety of techniques and design motifs was used in the decoration of the boxes. Both natural forms and common symbols were executed in inlay, incised, enhanced with pigment, burned into the surface, or created with some combination of these techniques.
Hard and soft woods
Maine State Museum, Gifts of Charles E. Burden, M.D., Sarah P. Cunningham, and Eve E. Gardner and John H. Gardner in memory of Virginia K. Gardner
Valentine, Ebenezer Legrow, c. 1835
The attribution of this complex watercolor to Ebenezer Legrow is based on its similarity to a few small family records with his signature. Perhaps half of the makers of New England-decorated documents did not identify themselves, regardless of whether or not they were amateurs or professionals. The valentine is in the form of a true Lover's Knot, a genre with Elizabethan roots. This work is notable for its sweet ephemerality, a quality that it shares with the gift or spirit drawings accomplished by Shaker sisters at Mount Lebanon, New York, barely a decade later.

Weathervane, attr. to James Lombard, c. 1900
This weathervane, carved in the form of a rooster, is attributed to James Lombard, a farmer and cabinetmaker from Bridgton and Brownfield, Maine, who was born in 1868. Roosters and hens were favorite motifs for the makers of weathervanes in southern Maine from the early nineteenth century onward. While the early examples were quite plain, the later rooster and hen weathervanes were examples of virtuoso carving. As a rule, they were made of wood and painted and being of perishable materials were likely to suffer damage from the weather. In this instance, the weathervane was reinforced with an iron support.

Last week I worried in this space that our college students were ill-equipped to defend American Jewry's pro-Israel position. I asked for a volunteer to explain what's going on. Luckily, Donald Cohen-Cutler, a UC Davis freshman and an international relations major, stepped up to the plate.
I say "luckily" because events on campus are even worse than I had suspected. Of course, I remember the beginnings of the Jewish-Muslim rift on campus during the first intifada. But I don't remember blatant insults to Jewish ritual and history. That's what's happening now (see story, page 10).

Drums, chanting and roars of applause echoed through Westfield Capital mall Saturday in Olympia during a flash mob to show support for the indigenous tribes of Canada.
Hundreds joined in a circle near the food court in solidarity with the Idle No More movement, which began among Canada's First Nations people in reaction to recent land-use legislation.
"What this legislation represents is further stripping of natural resources of indigenous lands in Canada … basically without the consent of the tribes there," said Erin Genia of Olympia, one of the organizers of Saturday's demonstration.
"It affects us here, too, because many of these projects the Canadian government is looking to push through … contributes to an economy based on oil that is destroying our environment."
Genia cited the Keystone pipeline as one such project; it would transport crude oil from fields in Alberta to refineries in the United States.
Those in attendance Saturday also showed support for Attawapiskat First Nation Chief Theresa Spence's hunger strike. Saturday was the 19th day Spence had gone without eating.
The hunger strike will continue until Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper agrees to meet with indigenous leaders, Spence has said.
"If the only way to make the government listen is to go on a huger strike, it's pretty extreme," said Dachelle Bailey of Westport, a participant Saturday. "We want to be heard, and for there to be peace and solidarity."
Bailey is a First Nations Cree and said she has been following the Idle No More movement since it began this month.
"It's a peaceful movement; it's not meant to be any harm," she said.
Saturday's demonstration began with several songs accompanied by drums in the crowd. The first song was performed by a Squaxin Island Tribe family.
"That song belongs to a specific Squaxin family that cannot be used by anyone else," Genia said. "We were honored they gifted that song for that moment."
The mall portion of the demonstration was short. Genia said in light of what happened at the Tacoma Mall just days earlier, they did not want to be disruptive.
Participants in a similar demonstration Wednesday in Tacoma were banned from the Tacoma Mall for one day after being escorted out by security.
"We knew the situation in Tacoma had gotten a little out of hand, and we did not want to obstruct the flow of consumers," Genia said. "We wanted to make a stand, so we organized it to be really quick; we didn't want to linger."
The demonstrators moved their protest from the mall down Harrison Avenue to Percival Landing, where the song and dance continued.
Some held signs while marching that stated, "We will have world peace when we accept diversity in all our communities" and "Idle No More; this is not a protest, this is a prayer."
Genia said the issue hits close to home. A member of the Dakota Tribe, Genia has family on both sides of the U.S.-Canada border.
"We are hoping what happens is, it is a reclaiming of space in a way that we make our presence known as Native people and allies of Native people," Genia said. "We are aware of what is going on, and we want to move towards a better world for our people; for all people."

The Play (Masterplots II: Drama, Revised Edition)
Scene 1 of Speed-the-Plow opens with Bobby Gould in his new but as yet undecorated office, debunking the prose of a heavy-sounding book about radiation. His old friend and right-hand man Charlie Fox walks in unannounced. Gould, who has attained a new position at a Hollywood studio only two days before, continues mocking the book, aware that Fox will shortly let him know why he came. Fox asks Gould how close he is to his boss, the head man in Gould's Hollywood studio, whose name is Ross.
When Gould tells Fox that he can approve ("greenlight") a picture, Fox tells Gould that the actor Doug Brown is willing to "cross the street" to do a script that Fox has procured for him. Without answering, Gould tells his temporary secretary to get Ross on the telephone. At this point, the quality of the script is not mentioned. It is clear, however, that Doug Brown means money at the box office.
Fox acquaints Gould with the events leading to this lucky break. Only a few moments before Fox entered Gould's office, Doug Brown drove to Fox's house and said that he would settle the deal the next morning at ten. Gould tells his temporary secretary to hold all calls except those from Ross; then he asks her to fetch coffee.
Gould and Fox learn that Ross will see them in ten minutes, during which time Fox briefly describes the plot of the script, using the jargon of the film industry: The film is "a buddy film, a prison film,...

Dramatic Devices (Masterplots II: Drama, Revised Edition)
Much has been written about the nature of Mamet's dialogue, his special ear for the dialogue of the street with its short, often foul, staccato one-liners. Mamet often has his characters subvert important truths by muttering clichéd truisms. Moreover, in Speed-the-Plow Fox and Gould take shortcuts in their speech, speaking in a kind of shorthand that is native to their situation but strange to the uninitiated. Karen's attempt to become an insider cannot succeed because she misuses the argot. Her attempt to become a part of the team, to penetrate the insider's world, is seen by Gould and Fox as a hostile take-over bid.
Further, Karen's unsuccessful explication of people's fears forces the observation that what people most fear cannot be intelligibly expressed. Unable to communicate their feelings, the characters use words which are not the right signifiers; their words mask their feelings even to themselves. Mamet's specialized and lean dialogue is enhanced by stage gestures that demonstrate the relationship between the power holder and the power seeker: Critic Brent Staples notes, "While Gould telephones the head of the studio to arrange for Fox to go before the altar of power, Fox pantomimes pretending to perform fellatio on him. Elsewhere he trails Gould across the stage, burying his face in his buttocks." At one point Gould starts smoking a cigarette while he is already smoking his cigar; the gesture indicates the frantic...

Historical Context
Like much of the 1980s, American society in 1988 was consumed with the ideas of success and image, the bigger the better. By 1988, there were 1.3 million millionaires living in the United States. This number included 50 billionaires. (By comparison, when adjusting for inflation, there were only 180,000 millionaires in the United States in 1972.) Because of an economy that saw vast growth during the 1970s, at least on the upper end of the economic scale, many people wanted to display their newfound wealth with high-end status items. Both Bobby Gould and Charlie Fox in Speed-the-Plow discuss how much money they will make off their deal and what it will get them. During this discussion, Gould says, ''We're going to have to hire someone just to figure out the things we want to buy.'' Such greed was typical of the media-enforced images of wealth and success in the 1980s. Television shows celebrated the wealthy lifestyle. One popular televison show, Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, showed how celebrities and other rich people spent their money and lived their lives. Pop singer/actress/ cultural icon Madonna, who played Karen in the original Broadway production of Speed-the- Plow, was a master at manipulating the media and toying with her image while making a big profit.
The attitude that bigger is better spilled over into the arts and mass media. On Broadway, largescale musicals featured more elaborate sets and large casts. In the...

Literary Style
Speed-the-Plow is a drama set in contemporary times. Though it is not explicitly stated, the play probably takes place in Los Angeles, the movie industry capital of the world, at a major studio. The action is focused in two settings. Scenes 1 and 3 take place in Bobby Gould's new office. Because he has just been promoted to the head of production, the office is sparsely furnished with ''boxes and painting materials all around,'' as the stage directions indicate. The brief Scene 2, where Gould and Karen meet to discuss her report on the novel, is set in Gould's home. It can be speculated that everything takes place in Gould's spaces because he is the man who ultimately makes the decisions. Charlie Fox and Karen are at his mercy, and they must try to influence him on his turf.
Karen nearly succeeds in getting her project off the ground because she is invited into Gould's private life. Fox uses the fact that this is a business deal—and the fact that Karen used sex to further her own ambitions—to his advantage in Scene 3. The office is where business is done, not at home. The spare sets also put Mamet's rapid-fire, though ultimately simple, dialogue at the forefront of Speedthe- Plow.
Several times in Speed-the-Plow, Mamet plays with lines that foreshadow future events in the play. However, the predicted events do not always work out exactly as...

Topics for Further Study
Research the history behind the phrase ''speed the plow.'' How is the phrase's meaning related to the themes of Mamet's play?
Compare and contrast Speed-the-Plow with Mamet's two other ''business'' plays, American Buffalo and Glengarry Glen Ross. What do these plays say about male relationships/friendships?
Compare and contrast Speed-the-Plow's Karen to Carol, the young female student in Mamet's Oleanna. Both claim to be naive young women, yet both are dishonest about themselves. Explore the psychological implications.
Explore the idea of ''the culture of success,'' a predominant cultural force in the United States in the 1980s, especially in Hollywood. How does this cultural concept affect the actions of each of the characters in the play?
(The entire section is 120 words.)
What Do I Read Next?
Glengarry Glen Ross, a play that Mamet wrote in 1977, is a drama which also concerns men and their relationships in the business world. The play shows the lengths men will go to achieve success.
The Last Tycoon, an unfinished novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald and first published in 1941, explores Hollywood and relationships formed within the industry.
The Last Mogul: Lew Wasserman, a biography written by Dennis MacDougal, discusses the life of a Hollywood executive. The book includes insights into Hollywood business relationships.
Circus of Ambition: The Culture of Wealth and Power in the Eighties, a nonfiction book by John Taylor published in 1998, is a collection of essays discussing the rich and the culture of success, including Hollywood.
Oleanna, a play by David Mamet first produced in 1992, is a drama which concerns Carol, a young female university student who, like Karen in Speed-the-Plow, is also an enigma. The play focuses on a sexual harassment charge she brings against a male professor.

Cool It Film
Cool it is a film based on Bjorn Lomborg's book with the same name. It is available on AMAZON. The movie's official homepage: http://coolit-themovie.com
DVD release: March 29, 2011
Climate catastrophe? The end of civilization as we know it?
Cool It is based upon the book of the same name and lectures by Bjorn Lomborg, the controversial author of The Skeptical Environmentalist.
Award-winning filmmaker Ondi Timoner travels the world with Lomborg exploring the real facts and true science of global warming and its impact.
Lomborg is the founder and director of the Copenhagen Consensus Center, a globally respected think tank that brings together the world's leading economists to prioritize major global problems – among them malaria, the lack of potable water and HIV/AIDS– based upon a cost/benefit analysis of available solutions.
Amidst the strong and polarized opinions within the global warming debate, Cool It follows Lomborg on his mission to bring the smartest solutions to climate change, environmental pollution, and other major problems in the world.

This is a test run for some different things that I am trying to tinker with. Below if a simple survey of which brand of super heroes you prefer. Simple survey and if you would like to leave any comments, please feel free. Also, I am trying to embed the survey directly onto this discussion page, but with no luck. If there is anyone that could help with that, I would greatly appreciate it. I am assuming that all of the tags should be placed onto the web page itself, and not a discussion within a web page, therefore the reason why I am unable to embed it here?
I've tried embedding an <iframe> tag into your intro block and as a reply, but with no luck. Murvey does seem to have an embed option though - have you tried it? Look in their 'Publish' tab and chose 'Tags' and it's the bottom option.
Yeah, I tried all of those with no luck.
Just an FYI for everyone.
I used Murvey for this as it is free and seemed a little different. Very user friendly. The end result was 7-2 in favor of Marvel Superheroes. I might be doing some more of these in the near future.

I am pondering a polymer pistol in 45 ACP in the future. The three I am considering is the Glock 21 SF, M&P 45, and The FN FNP 45. I would appreciate input from people on this forum in regards to my choices.
all three are great weapons, can't go wrong with either. the fn is pretty pricey but if money is no object. n

I carry an M&P45c most of the time and it's fantastic. Accurate, reliable and comfortable.
I have some G21SFs - I like them. Never shot a M&P but they appear to be quality guns - I would own one if I wasn't in a relationship with Glock already.
The FN looks really nice - especially the "tactical" one with the mount on the slide for a MRDS and the threaded barrel....but that is more like dream gun territory for me. Plus I'm not a DA/SA fan. I believe the gun can be carried cocked and locked but I'm not sure.
I was just reading an article on the new Glock 30s. It has the short frame, 10 round double stack magazine and the slide off the Glock 36. I think if I purchase a 45 for carry that will be my ticket.
"Lets Be Careful Out There!"
I just thought of something that might rule out the FN. I remember that the Glock and M&P can share magazines with smaller siblings.

Everything I need.
The one downside to the G21 is that it is harder to find holsters compared to a G17 or other similar framed glocks.

FN mags were insanely expensive before the circus came to town. I can only imagine what they are selling for now. I'd stick with the Glock or M&P, though the XD has merit too!

I know it's a tad on the expensive side and hard to find but consider the HK45c. It has to be one of the best shooting 45's I've ever shot. It's also very concealable, being very close to the size of a G19. Took months to finally find one. Absolutely no regrets. Happy hunting.

Sweet and tart contrast in this creamy, sharp goat cheese appetizer from Judy Schad. It looks elegant, but it's easy to make.
Chevre (the French word for all goat-milk cheeses) can range from delicately aromatic to robustly sharp and acid. Goat milk gives cheese a texture and flavor that is "most memorable," Judy says.
Consumption of goat cheese has grown, but still is only 1 percent of the total cheese market -- which is incredible to Judy. "For me, the textural difference is huge," she says. "You can get a rich, full-flavored cheese that's still light and fine."

An Indian Hills Community College graduate who pitched for the New York Yankees will be the guest speaker for the annual IHCC baseball banquet on Thursday, February 2.
The banquet will be held at the Manhattan Restaurant in Centerville.
Darrell Einertson was a pitcher on Indian Hills teams that played in the NJCAA World Series in 1992 and '93.
Einertson had graduated from Urbandale High School before going to IHCC and pitched at Cameron University and Iowa Wesleyan University after his two seasons with the Falcons.
He signed with the Yankees after being taken in the 11th round of the MLB Draft in 1995.
After working his way up through the Yankees' minor league system, Einertson made his major league debut in April 2000.

HGTV.com HGTV Message Boards Crafts Quilting & Needlework Sew ... I wanted to know about helping the EAST COAST ... NEW INFO! |
Go | New | Find | Notify | Tools | Reply |
Breezy point update : I went to Breezy point personally with Sister Sue's quilts. The public transport out there is not fully functioning and it took 3 hours to get there, lol. I got picked up from the bus stop outside breezy point in the fire chief's pick up truck. They have a mobile police command centre in the street, making sure that only authorized people come in. They had some looting in the other area in the rockaways that got hit really badly, so they are being careful. There isn't much to see coming into Breezy, there is a lot of sand on the road, and a few pieces of debris here and there. A house that looks fine from further away has a missing fence, and as you get closer you can see the verandah around the house is wavy, like the wood has been warped. On the back outside are a lot of things you might expect to see inside the house. The volunteers at the fire department are living there full time. Partly this is to have someone there all the time, and partly because these volunteers have also lost everything. Michael who drove me into Breezy lost the entire first floor of his house. He plans to rebuild. AnnMarie lost her entire house, as did her children. She is still working tirelessly to feed people and hand out cleaning supplies, bleach, buckets, and contractor bags for the tons of debris that are left behind inside the houses that didnt burn down. Everything is ruined. Breezy and the other two fire departments are feeding 800-2000 people a day, and it's getting colder. AnnMarie was so happy to see the bundle of quilts. As she put it, people arent that happy with the red cross blankets. A quilt is comforting as well as warm, it showed someone cared enough to make it. She smiles as she holds up the quilt so I can take a picture, but she seems sad at the same time. These quilts will be handed out to whoever comes in first and is cold. Maybe the volunteers who are sleeping on cots in the fire hall, or maybe other residents who still have no power, no heat, or are in temporary housing. Either way, they are very appreciated. I stayed for a little while to help sort items. Paper plates, cold cups, hot cups, ramen noodles, bags of clothes, packs of milk and sugar, soda, cleaner, all coming in from disaster relief and from individuals in the area. They are having a big relief effort on Saturday. I offered to come back Monday to help since I dont work Mondays, she seemed very glad of the offer. She told me they have a refrigerated truck now for the food and the bottled water - not because it will spoil but because its so cold outside now that the water freezes over night! They will be handing out food and supplies for the foreseable future as people staying with relatives or friends now come back and start to rebuild. If anyone else wants to send quilts directly to me, then I have a new address to send them to. It is the fire house itself, to the lady leading the volunteers. I know she will make sure they go where they need to go. Just PM me for it if you need it. AnnMarie asked that I write my name on the sheet on the wall. They are taking names of everyone who brings things in to help, so that when its over they can thank people. I told her it wasn't necessary but she insisted. So I wrote Jane W on behalf of HGTV circle of friends. If they send a thank you I will post that here too, but after having been there I can see that you all are making a big difference Jane_KiwiThis message has been edited.

Emergency rations to feed people, outside the fire department. | ||||
Inside the fire house, loads of cleaning supplies, tooth brushes, paper plates, everything to help people who lost a lifetime. Jane_Kiwi | ||||
Jane- Thanks for the update and all your efforts to ensure that this area is receiving the needed help it needs. T's and P's still coming their way. Sue | ||||
Jane, I'll have a couple of quilts ready to mail beginning of the week, as well as some pillow cases. Could you please PM me the "new" address. Thanks. | ||||
I'd also like the new address if you could PM me also, have a couple almost ready to go. | ||||
to the top so Jane Kiwi can find it | ||||
Jane, my quilt is off the frame and I should have a package on its way to you this week! | ||||
I just found out today that I won a fabric giveaway hosted by a Quilting Daily blog. This blogger wanted to encourage quilters to make a quilt for Sandy victims and decided to give away 2 bundles of fabrics. My plan is to make a double cut layer cake quilt since it's so pretty and goes together quickly. I can't wait to get them and work on a quilt - even during the bustle of the holidays. With both Mom and MIL here, I might get to scurry off and sew for a few minutes every now and then. The 3 of us can whip up awesome meals in almost no time. And I get all the credit, even though I share it with the other cooks. | ||||
Jane: I just PM'ed you for the address to the firestation. Thank you for all your work.Nancy McPatches: Just PM'ed you also. ***This message has been edited. Last edited by: nancyc20, "It's bad to supress laughter. It goes back down and spreads to your hips." | ||||

Oops sorry! Was so busy this week I did not even have a chance to check the boards. Didn't realize ppl were waiting on me I have some pictures from yesterday to post up. Still taking me 2 1/2 hrs to get out there! They forgot to pick me up yesterday and so i stood by the side of the road for forty minutes with a huge bag of quilts. They finally sent a tow truck to come get me lol, but the back seat of a tow truck is TINY so i was squished in there with the quilts I will get the PMs out now. jane | ||||

My new drop is the Gucci inspired Nike Blazer SB. I personally have never made a Gucci inspired sneaker before even tho it is one of the most notable colorways and also one of the most reproduced colorway customs.
Obviously this custom was in a way inspired by the Nike Dunk RESN that also was made with denim and Gucci Strap inspired colorway. I went in a bit of a different direction as i did not want to just make a full reproduction of the original design.
Instead of the Black/Green/Red colorway i used a Navy color Japanese 13.5oz Salvage Denim and Black Baby Ostrich leather as main materials, and of course i had to throw in the Gucci Strap to round out the design.
I made the heel to resemble a bag strap so it had a big of a nod to the famous Gucci luggage. The Nike Swooshes have green contrast stitching, and i added a Gucci strap on the tongue and the strap also functions as a lace stay. Last i did the top 3 eyelets of the Blazers in the same color design as the Gucci strap.
As always only 5 pairs will be available through my web-store: http://frshaccessories.storenvy.com/
ONE PAIR is AVAILABLE with DISCOUNT price of $160 in SIZE 11 at my web-store: http://frshaccessories.storenvy.com/pro ... cci-size11

Stepping Out With 0.4mm Pitch BGA/PoPs |
Written by Syed W. Ali, C.I.D+ | |||

Design considerations for moving from 0.5mm pitch to 0.4mm pitch and below. Package-on-package is a method of stacking components atop one another. Some OEMs use PoP to reduce the board real estate area, particularly for small handheld products and devices. Others are moving to PoP because end-markets demand greater performance in smaller systems and products. In either case, OEMs will find that there's a game changer going from 0.5mm pitch BGA PoP to the next generation, 0.4mm ultra-fine pitch BGA PoP. Currently, in some camps, PCB designers are at the first stage using two-level BGA PoP with the logic or µP (processor) chip at the bottom and the memory chip on top (Figure 1). However, there are certain key steps involved in increasing success at the third level. But first, before stepping out with 0.4mm pitch BGA PoP-based PCB designs, it's important to revisit those rules-of-thumb at the 0.5mm level and above. These rules-of-thumb relate to pad sizes and solder mask openings up to 0.5mm pitch.
