For instance, I live in the state of Kansas, the very first state to enact farm protection legislation back in 1990 (side note: I was barely 2 years old in 1990). I take a lot of pictures of livestock and crop fields on weekends as I drive back and forth from work in Lenexa to the family ranch near Eureka. This activity could potentially get me into a lot of trouble if someone were to catch me in the act of photographing their property without consent.
click image to zoomBechtel Family PhotoThat's me in the front. I've grown up in agriculture, but I'm not sure "ag-gag" is a good thing. Until that time comes, I'm going to continue taking pictures of agriculture in Kansas and across the nation. I'm also going to continue spreading the word to consumers about an industry I care a great deal for and I hope you will too.
I know that last message was beating a dead horse (by the way that's something an animal rights activist would love to catch you doing, so don't do it), but I think it bears repeating that agriculture producers need to be more open to having conversations with consumers.
Talking to people while you're away from the farm on a parts run, grocery shopping, or even the rare plane flight for a vacation could give that consumer a better view of agriculture. Social media is an excellent way to stay on the farm or ranch and connect to 98 percent of American citizens who are not involved with agriculture. Sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube are great mediums to share your story and make a positive impact.
Let's take the gags off ourselves and stop trying to put them on other people.
Oh, and the next time I'm on a flight I'll make sure to have an issue of PorkNetwork, so the person sitting next to me will know that bacon isn't meant to keep your mouth shut.

Urban fishing bulletin: for the weeks of [June 19, 2007]

This page
Urban Fishing Bulletin For the weeks of Manager: Eric Swanson (602) 789-3263 Specialist: Joann Hill (602) 789-3268 Call 1-800-352-0700 to report fishing violations SPRING CATFISH STOCKINGS TO END SOON Related Information - Urban Stocking Schedule - Urban Fishing Facts - Urban Fishing Regulations - Fishing Report Two more catfish stockings are scheduled during the spring catfish stocking season. Stockings will take place the weeks of June 11-16 and June 25-30. Over 7,000 catfish are stocked every other week to all 19 Urban Fishing Program waters in the Phoenix and Tucson areas. It takes two large stocking trucks with 20 compartments per truck to safely deliver the nearly two pound catfish all the way from Arkansas. As summer approaches and temperatures routinely exceed 100 degrees, it becomes impractical to haul live fish into Arizona's Urban lakes. No fish stockings will be scheduled during July, August and the first half of September. Fall catfish stockings will resume the week of September 1722. Anglers can still fish for catfish, bass and bluegill at Urban waters throughout the summer, but the action is generally slower. LAKESIDE LAKE GETS SPECIAL TREATMENT Starting May 30, the City of Tucson began a special water treatment procedure for Lakeside Lake as part of a program to improve water quality in the lake and maintain environmental standards. Lake conditions have already been greatly improved since the installation of the state-of-the-art aeration system five years ago. Now Tucson wants to improve water conditions further with the addition of alum (aluminum sulfate) to help control excessive organic materials in the water. Applied by lake management professionals, alum is applied in liquid form from a boat. The alum causes suspended particles and algae in the water to settle harmlessly to the bottom of the lake. Alum, commonly used to treat drinking water, is environmentally safe and will not harm humans or fish. For a couple days after a treatment, the lake may appear milky or cloudy in appearance, but once it settles, water clarity will improve. Treatments will be applied over th e summer as necessary to maintain water quality. Game and Fish biologists will evaluate results from this special alum treatment procedure to determine it's usefulness at other Urban waters. CATFISH STOCKING UPDATES FOR THE LAST TWO WEEKS: All lakes were successfully stocked as scheduled (see azgfd.gov web site for weekly stocking schedules). Silverbell Lake in Tucson is still not being stocked due to low lake levels and high pH values. Catfish stockings will continue every other week through the end of June, then no further stockings will occur until mid-September. URBAN FISHING REPORT Fishing for catfish is rated fair to good at the various Urban Program lakes in both the Tucson and Phoenix areas. Catfishing is best during the cooler periods around sunrise and after sunset. Top baits include stink baits, shrimp, hot dogs, and worms fished on the bottom. Silverbell Lake in Tucson has not been stocked recently due to low lake levels and high pH values. Sunfish are biting well at most lakes for anglers using small worms or meal worms. Fishing at Green Valley lakes (Payson) is fair for trout, with bass, bluegill and crappie action rated as good. View the Urban Fishing Bulletin on our web site.

Action Sequences in Harry Potter Are More Important To Hollywood
From waving wands to racing brooms, the Harry Potter movies are chalk full of action. Thanks to the magic of Hollywood, fans are able to be spectators in a Quidditch match, experience double potions with Snape and feel the thrill of casting a spell. Making these books into movies changed the way we see this seminal series.
In spite of all that the silver screen brought to bear on Harry Potter, it seems that Hollywood did this at the expense Read the rest of this entry »

Available Projects
My children would like me to make a treehouse for them. I am not a woodworker but I've been doing more DIY things lately so this pumps me up a bit. The question is - is this something worth trying as a DIY thing. I'd like *detailed* instructions and some library books I have flipped so far on this topic seem to make a lot of assumptions about the expertise of the builder. Are there books that explain how to build a treehouse from a beginners perspective - gory details and lots of diagrams etc.
Thanks !
You might try here
Or even here
A tree house is nothing more then a deck with a shed built on top of it.
I have built many a tree house when I was a kid, there was not a job site for miles around with any left over wood when we showed up. lol
It can be a fun project to get the kids involved in so you all can learn something they can use in real life later on.
The princibles used in building it can be applyed when building a shed, closit, or even a whole house.
Be careful if you live in a neighborhood with an association. They generally frown on this type of thing. We built many a forts/treehouses as kids as it appears Joe did as well. Wood scrap piles at construction sites were a favorite source of supplies, no adult supervision required. We also never built them on our own property, we'd find an out of the way place to build it. Probably a lot tougher to do today.
General Disclaimer
Any advice given here is general in nature and is not necessarily valid for your given area. If in doubt check with your local codes enforcement department for what is required when doing electrical, plumbing or structural work on your house. Permits may or may not be required in your area and home owners may not be able to DIY some tasks. I have no way of knowing if you have the skills needed to complete the tasks you are asking about, when in doubt seek professional assistance.
My advice may be worth exactly what you pay me for it. :-) For the record I did not stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.
the good stuff tends to disappear as well. when I was a kid, back when there were 17 letters in the alphabet and algebra was solve for "A", about a mile down the road during the transition from flax field to housing development, a bunch of kids stole plywood and 2x4 and made a huge network of caves. buddy and I rode down a few times to play around. the last time, we got stomped by the constructors.
dad bought a little playhouse when I was closing in on the teens, and I added a lean-to and then a second story to it. little shaky in the wind, but good enough to pull yourself up.
along the lakeshores there are some really bodacious tree houses, built like they were architected and inspected. they've been up 20+ years.
grin when I see one of 'em.This message has been edited. Last edited by: swschrad,
sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money?
Make it a group project..with the kids!
I'm a drywaller not a plumber. Leave it to me, most kitchen repair jobs should be left to the pros.
This brings back a lot of happy memories.
Like what everyone said, there is really no difference in principle when it comes to building a tree house. Build as you would a real house: make it sturdy and safe yet comfortable too. Involve the kids, ask them for design ideas and preferences, then use your structural and DIY knowledge to transform their imagination into reality and see those priceless smiles on their faces. Good luck!This message has been edited. Last edited by: lesliemorris85,
On January 28, 2012 I started to build my very first tree house and I am not a "wood worker". It is now 10/24/13 (I'll let you do the math as to how long I have been building) and you can see with the fall leaves down, what has been done.
To get a better idea of scale (so far):
The car is just over 16 feet long, (yes, it is a real car - 1946 Triumph 1800 Saloon (right hand drive) automobile.
From the front of the car to the back of the castle is over a 100 feet,
From the top of the steeple on the church to the ground is 32 feet, and it is over 40 feet wide!!
If you would like to see more, google me under "Tree Creations in Geneseo".
I have so much to say, I could write for days (be it the car, or the elevator I am building for people to ride up into the trees, or any of the details I am adding, etc) so feel free to ask me anything, and I can tell you how I have done it as a new guy just getting into tree house construction.

Geneseo, NY[FLASH_VIDEO] [/FLASH_VIDEO]
Oh, I forgot to mention, We have the "Car de Triumph", the veranda, the village square, the tea room, the wizard's den, the Margrose Castle, and the church (non denominational of course).... and these are the tree houses so far (with lots more planned - such as an observatory and a music room (where I am building a tunable / playable pipe organ to be one of the instruments in the music room, and others) - this is just the beginning and if you are ever in Geneseo, NY stop by and lets play!
JJ - I hardly know where to begin.
Comment #1: OMG!!! That has got to be the most fantastic "tree house" that I have ever seen.
Comment(s) #2 Do you have kids? Is this for their use? What do they think of it?
Comment #3 You have way too much time and money on your hands.
Comment #4 Referring to comment #3 above - If building that makes you happy, keep on building!
Comment #5 What do your neighbors think?
Comment #6 If that can be seen from the road, I guess it's really easy to give directions to your house.
Comment #7 I am saddened that it's doubtful that I'll be traveling to Geneseo, NY. But if I ever head that way I'll look you up.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Jaybee,
Wow! That's more than a tree house, it's a tree village, or at least the start of it.
I'm curious...how did this village morph into a complex creation from its start as a tree house?
Do you decorate it for Christmas? I imagine it would be the star attraction for miles around.
What did you use to support the Triumph? I see some large pillars beneath the platform.
And on a curious but practical note, were you able to get your HO insurance increased to cover this? I would think it's worth quite a bit and should be insured.
I'm really speechless at the complexity and diversification of your creation.
Edited to add that I've just spent some time on your website and discovered the Fairy Garden. As a gardener, I just love it!
Now, I have a special request: could you update The Complex section with a photo comparable to the one in the post so I can refer some gardening friends to view it?
Thanks for sharing!This message has been edited. Last edited by: GardenSprite,
Hi Jaybee and GardenSprite,
First, I am sorry - this is a long one.
There are a lot of questions and I am new to this (and a slow typer) so I will try to address each question one by one!
Comment #1: OMG!!! That has got to be the most fantastic "tree house" that I have ever seen.
Thanks. I still have plans for a bunch more, but it will take some time. (I'll elaborate a little later on)
Comment(s) #2 Do you have kids? Is this for their use? What do they think of it?
I have two children (ages 6 and 4). This is their "backyard playground." My wife and I are just inviting the world over for a "play date." Our kids seem to love it! I honestly think they love meeting new people / new friends... otherwise, it is like living next to Niagara Falls. If it is always there, you often take it for granted, but when you visit it is an awesome sight!
Comment #3 You have way too much time and money on your hands.
Not really, but I have changed my focus in life a bit. (I'll explain a little more on this later as well)
Comment #4 Referring to comment #3 above - If building that makes you happy, keep on building!
I think there is a symbiosis going on here, People are happy from what I have created (so far), and I am happy making others happy too - So I guess, yes! Building thus makes me happy so I will (for as long as I am able).
Comment #5 What do your neighbors think?
Everything has been positive (so far). In the spring and at the start of the summer, I had the Castle and the Car in the air, and some pieces on the ground, but based on the slow speed of the cars going by, I believe the neighbors were kinda curious.
There is a road near us that has adopted our home into their annual street party. This year there was more of a push to have the street party at our place, and I believe it was to get a closer look as to what it is that we have been building.
At the end of August, we had the adults and children from the street in the trees and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.
(at least no complaints yet)
Comment #6 If that can be seen from the road, I guess it's really easy to give directions to your house.
We generally leave the headlights on, so often you can see the car from the road, but honestly, once the leaves are on, it is difficult to see everything.
I think this touched upon just about everything Jaybee had in his post, now for GardenSprite...
Wow! That's more than a tree house, it's a tree village, or at least the start of it.
I'm curious...how did this village morph into a complex creation from its start as a tree house?
I started these Tree Creations in 2012 by accident. Really, there was an accident (this requires a bit of a back story).
I was on the telephone when a freak accident happened and a projectile took the eyesight from my left eye. The doctor said I was about a half inch from being six feet under. Soon after, my oldest daughter had asked for a tree house after seeing one on television, and I had remembered a place I visited when I was in college that had some cool tree houses. So all of my future "grandfather projects" became "father projects" and I got to work.
January 28, 2012 I started to build our castle themed tree house. While in construction, I went visiting my in-laws on Long Island (about 6.5 hours away - I am about an hour and a half from Niagara Falls)and we went to a museum of play with our children. We saw some car parts roughly in position of a car that kids were playing with, and the children seemed to be having a blast, so I looked at my wife, and we got the idea to put a car in the trees as a tree house.
Once these two tree houses were underway, I got thinking of my own mortality and how I would be remembered when I'm gone. I am a Mechanical Engineer by trade, and most of what I have done will get filed away with little remembrance, (but a lot of the local towns people will remember the guy with a car in the trees!) That's when I realized how good the town has been to me and my family (I'm a 4th generation resident of Geneseo) so I wanted to give back to the community in my own special way.
I decided to contact my inspiration for the tree houses (Maurice Barkley in Henrietta, NY) and invite him over for dinner. I wanted to let him know the positive result he and his tree houses had on my life. In our discussion, he said, "Joe, I am almost 80 years old and I cannot maintain my tree houses. I like what you are doing. Would you be willing to take on my tree houses?" I was honored, and my tree house complex tripled in size.
We have been asked, "How do you pay for all of this?" Right now, all funding has been out of our own pockets. This is a private residence and technically, the tree houses are the playground for our children - we just would like to invite everyone over for a play date! We have been scrapping a few cars to gain money to help fund these tree houses. Metal scrapping, tree house maintenance, tree house building, grounds keeping, safety checking, etc becomes almost overwhelming at times, and family, friends and volunteers have come over and helped lighten the load. We also like to encourage volunteers to build, create, and try something that they would like to explore.
My woodworking skills I acquired in my high school tech / shop class. Many of the volunteers that I get from today's college generation haven't seemed to been exposed to power tools. "In class, we were given toothpicks and told to build a bridge that will hold weight... and that's it." So this has been a way where I have been able to share some basic skills that these "kids" may use if they become a home owner one day.
I guess the change in my life events have changed my look on my family, my community, and how I am able to do for others. Life's short - don't wait, do good now! (whatever your "good" may be).
I couldn't do this without the support of my wife Heather, (not many women would allow an automobile in the trees).
We have plans for many more tree houses in the future:
We are working on a music themed tree house where we are building a pipe organ from scratch, as well as other instruments for inside the tree house for children to play.
We are gathering parts and pieces for a pirate ship (where we acquired a 1957 Thompson speed boat and we will be doubling the length and triple the height to create the body of the ship, we will use telephone poles to help support the middle as well as double as masts for the ship, and then when kids "walk the plank" we would like them to hook onto a zip line and "zip" to a future "light house" at the end of roughly a 100 foot run.
We are holding a "contest" for the best idea of how Galileo's Observatory would look, and we will try to build the winning design. This tree house design would have a walkway from the village square to the open southern sky to have a full, unobstructed view of the stars! This observatory would be of the "popsicle" variety (better known as supported by a post from underneath) so that we can get it a bit of distance from the tree branches that might get in the way.
We also want to pay tribute to some of the community staples, like to our warplane museum by building a WWI Bi-plane tree house, a Train Depot tree house (in honor of our local park's depot), and more!
The ideas keep coming from all sources, but it is for our kids, our family, our friends, and friends we don't even know we have yet.
Do you decorate it for Christmas? I imagine it would be the star attraction for miles around.
Well, last Christmas we had the car in the air and the structure of the castle up, but nothing else was up. This year, we have a lot more in the air, but it still isn't done yet... so I am not sure how this Christmas will go, but I hope maybe by next year we can be "cool"!
What did you use to support the Triumph? I see some large pillars beneath the platform.
Here, I was able to acquire telephone poles via Craigslist. I figured they are treated poles so I won't have to worry if a tree should ever become unhealthy and die (especially due to the size and mass of the car). Each pole is sunk into the ground below our "frost line" so they shouldn't shift from the cold, and the steel tubular cross frame of the vehicle is secured to each of the poles, as well as a wooden frame was constructed just below the car to insure the lack of shifting and movement on this structure.
And on a curious but practical note, were you able to get your HO insurance increased to cover this? I would think it's worth quite a bit and should be insured.
I am not sure how our homeowners policy works with the tree houses should they get damaged. In planning this project, we were more worried about visitors getting hurt (this is our backyard - our primary/only residence). We purchased a separate liability policy to protect ourselves, and we have visiting groups sign waivers for added protection. We try not to let the uncertainty interfere with our enjoyment of welcoming visitors.
I'm really speechless at the complexity and diversification of your creation.
Thank you. I try to work with what I have, and what I know, but a lot of the credit can go to my kids (for ideas). When I first started with the Castle, my daughters and I would sit at the kitchen table and talk and sketch what would be in a Castle, and how it would look, and so on. As a problem solver, I just wanted to see what I could do to make their ideas happen.
Edited to add that I've just spent some time on your website and discovered the Fairy Garden. As a gardener, I just love it!
Thank you! I am new to gardening as well! A friend of mine (Beth Nichols) just finished a degree in landscaping, and she has helped us out and done most of the creation with this one! She taught me that gardening is more than just putting a plant in the ground and letting mother nature do the rest... but you actually need to water the garden! I am still learning what plants are in my garden as well, because I have also been taught that not all plants like shady areas!! (go figure?!?!) We even have some carnivorous plants in the garden too! Over the winter we hope to be able to make a "garden map" that says what plants are in the garden and their locations (for those that may be looking beyond "the Fairy Tree".)
Now, I have a special request: could you update The Complex section with a photo comparable to the one in the post so I can refer some gardening friends to view it?
Sure! No problem! I notice that the programming format of the message board is an earlier programming style (where HTML is required to do things such as bold text, and picture file sizes are limited, etc) so it may slow the uploading process, but I will attempt to put pictures of both the tree houses and gardens on the page for anyone's viewing pleasure! (I am sorry that this may take up a lot of space, I would love to point to an album with a link - If I am allowed - but I am not yet sure how to get this permission since one of the rules of the forum was that we are not to post up websites, etc.)
Thanks for sharing!
The pleasure has been ours! (More photos to come!)
Here is a "way before" and a "mid point" (with the "after" photo as in the trees. This is A 1946 Triumph 1800 Saloon Renoun. According to the Triumph Club in England, This car is one of 14 left in the world and the only one in the United States. Since I can't get parts to restore to a driver, and since I have too many other car projects - it is better to be used in a tree than to be used for scrap.
It now gets more attention than it ever would if it were on the road. Look for it in the trees, we actually leave the headlights on.
Here is the same tree line with leaves from about the same vantage point. When you view this from the road, you barely see the front fenders of the car and the headlights, while the leaves block the view of the wizard's den and the veranda.
As you go down our "yellow brick road", you come to a fork where our "Welcome Garden" resides, you can go to the left - our "high road" to the "Troll Bridge", or go to the right - our "low road", or "the road less traveled" where you see the start of the construction to our elevator shaft.This message has been edited. Last edited by: JJFerrero,
Here you can see a closer view of the Triumph in the air. Below, we hope to put a dinosaur garden - where we take the scientific puzzles that creates dinosaur skeletons, and enlarge the puzzle pieces on pressure treated plywood to create kid size dinosaurs.
Behind the car you can see our "Veranda", a plesant place to read, play checkers, or enjoy a cup of coffee. To the photo's left, you can see some of the knots we tied in our rope bridges.
The Veranda connects to our "village square", (just over 16'x20'). This Village Square has a place for adults to sit, a dumbwaiter, and is a central hub that will hold the entrance to our future observatory, our future music room, our tea room, our future "house of illumination", and the access point to our church tree house and the others that we are about to describe.
Here are some of the other tree houses. You can see the Wizard taming the dragon on the outside of the wizard's den, (moving clockwise) you can see some of the church (which you can clearly see in my initial photo when the leaves were off of the trees), a portion of the village square (just prior to the railing being installed), and the lower (further back) blue tree house is our tea room, and our castle can be seen just behind the wizard's den.This message has been edited.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Kicker 11DX300.2 by Buck Pomerantz My system has plenty of power. Who needs an amp? You might think you don't need an amp because you have a 400-watt system in your car, or because your new stereo puts out 50 watts a channel. But those are peak wattage ratings, which may boil down to 15 or 20 watts per channel, using the more realistic RMS rating. An amp sends your speakers the power they need to deliver your music with clarity and impact, whether you're using factory speakers or high-performance components. And low-frequency reproduction requires lots of power, so an amp is an absolute must if you're adding a sub to your system. Boost your music's power For some people, great music is what makes life worth living. Kicker built their DX300.2 2-channel amp to send 75 watts RMS each to a pair of speakers, so you can feel the musical joy too — all from an amp with a footprint about the size of a piece of computer paper. You can also switch the amp over to 1-channel mode to run a subwoofer with 300 watts RMS of bass goodness. Use the built-in high- and low-pass filters to tailor the amp's output so your speakers sound their best. A bass boost lets you add some extra bump to your tunes. Isolates and eliminates noise You want lots of power for your speakers, but this Kicker DX amp gives you something extra — clean power. Kicker's FIT™ — Fail-Safe Integration Technology — rejects noise from alternators, audio/video gear, and other car electronics for crisp, clean operation, and accepts a wide range of signals so you can hook up the DX300.2 to almost any stereo.

We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features Controls Connections Warranty Features CEA 2006 Compliant: The Kicker DX300.2's power and signal to noise ratio are measured according to CEA 2006 standards (Consumer Electronics Association). These standards allow you to accurately compare the specifications of all CEA 2006-compliant amplifiers, even if they are different brands. Manufacturers who adhere to the standards can display the CEA 2006 logo on their products and packaging. The rated power output is 75 watts RMS x 2 channels into 4Ω (20 Hz-20 kHz, <1% THD+N). While the CEA 2006 S/N is 85 dB (measured at 1 watt), the S/N at rated power is >95 dB. Kicker Livin' Loud Certified Power: The amplifier comes with a certificate that indicates the total maximum wattage of the particular amplifier, along with the model number, serial number, tested date, and whether the amplifier passed the total harmonic distortion, signal-to-noise ratio, and protection circuit tests. Protection Circuitry: The DX300.2 has protection circuitry that will turn the amp off in the event of overheating, over voltage (power input), under voltage (power input), short circuit (speaker output), and over current (speaker output). If the Protection LED on the left side of the amp illuminates red, the protection circuit has engaged and the amp will not play until the problem is resolved. Fail-Safe Integration Technology (FIT): To accommodate the varying range of signal levels coming from today's factory and aftermarket radios, the DX300.2 utilizes Fail-Safe Integration Technology (FIT), offering isolated differential inputs for significant noise reduction, and compatibility with virtually any factory radio. Speaker Level Input: High level inputs can be used when the source device doesn't have preamp level outputs. The same RCA inputs on the amp are used for either speaker level or line level connections. When a speaker level signal is used, speaker wire to RCA adapters are needed (item number 20609ZISL, sold separately) and the Input Level should be set to High. Controls Gain Control: With the Input Level Control switch at the appropriate setting, you can set the rotary Gain Control to match the output of the source unit. The Gain Controls are adjusted with a flat-head screwdriver and can be set between 0 and 11. Input Level: The input level control is switchable; when set to Low, the amp can accommodate a line level input signal of 125mV-5V, on High, the amp will accept a 250mV-10V speaker level signal. Auto Turn-On: The Auto Turn-On switch offers three options: +12 V: the amp turns on when +12 volts is applied to the remote terminal DC Offset: the amp turns on when a 6 volt surge is detected on the signal inputs (from a speaker level source); in this mode the amp's remote terminal acts as a +12 volt output to turn on another component Audio: the amp turns on when an incoming audio signal is detected; in this mode the amp's remote terminal acts as a +12 volt output to turn on another component Crossover: The crossover can be set for low-pass, high-pass, or full-range operation. The crossover points are continuously variable between 50 and 200 Hz; the crossover slope is 12 dB per octave. KICKEQ Bass Boost: The bass boost circuit provides a variable (0-12 dB) signal boost at 40 Hz. Connections Left Side of Amplifier: +12V (power): screw terminal; accepts spade connector up to 0.5" wide REM (remote turn-on): screw terminal; accepts spade connector up to 0.325" wide GND (ground): screw terminal; accepts spade connector up to 0.5" wide Speaker Outputs: two pair of screw terminals; accept spade connectors up to 0.325" wide Fuse: two 20-amp ATO fuses (factory installed) Right Side of Amplifier: RCA Inputs: one pair of RCA input jacks Warranty Extended Warranty: Kicker will add a year to the standard two year warranty (for a total of three years) when any matching Kicker amplifier wiring kit is used with this amp (8 gauge minimum). Both the amp and wiring kit should be purchased on the same order and the usual warranty limitations apply (covers manufacturing defects, must be purchased from an authorized Kicker dealer, etc.).

So far 5 out of 5. 4runner limited with JBL RDS is a pain to make a system with let me tell you. These guys at CF made it a lot easier. I was told by all these big box places that I had to do all of these costly install things in order to make an aftermarket radio work with the JBL RDS I wish I never got, but I believe the limited only comes with it. So I had a Kenwood ddx470 put in and the guy did a bad job just aesthetically, and did not like the BT on 470. Talked to some trusted people who told me the Kenwood ddx370 was better for my needs (never use BT), so I got Kenwood ddx370 from CF. The master sheet opened up my eyes and made me realize they were all full of bs. It was easy as pie to keep the JBL RDS working with a new Deck. I upgrade everything but I do it in tiers. I like to do a deck and subwoofer and amp first as well as front speakers and an amp. From there I do the back seat. The 4runner limited has front components, dash speaker, back seat components with tweeters in the cargo space along with a stock woofer. You have the option to have people in back listen to their own tunes or watch a movie while you play your music upfront, hence the tweeters in the cargo area. So the guys at CF said my plan was solid for this car for sure. Do the front and go from there because you barely hear the back. Just finally rectified deck. Kicker is up front with Polk DB6501 components. Pros: Small footprint. Birth sheet 71 watts rms higher than advertised. Matches perfect with Components for 2 channel at 4ohms or can be used as mono for sub at 2 ohms. Plenty of power. Three power on modes. Safety features so it cannot ruin. Great price and bang for buck. CEA Comp. Cons: None so far 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

text: I asked the maintenance guy from my work for a couple old buffing pads for target faces, he gave me 3/4 of a large trash bag full of them. I was wondering if I could make a target out of them? I was thinking of stacking the pads, filling the hole in the center with rags, plywood top and bottom, and pulling it all together with threaded rod. Another thought was to cut the pads up and use them for stuffing in a bag type target. Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated

Hi, I am looking for a digital camera to use for video analysis of performance in cricket. I need the following functions:
- High quality image (probably HD) essential
- Strong zoom (keeping high quality image) essential
- Easy link and upload to PC (possibly live stream but not essential) essential
- On camera quick playback and zoom (frame by frame etc.) would be desirable but not essential
Basically need a camera to record people playing cricket and upload to video analysis software. Will be used handheld and on tripod.
Any advice for a camera in the under £700 range would be much appreciated

The San Lorenzo River crested at 24 feet just before Christmas and now flows with ease through the valley. The river flows have been high, but the water color is clear and the flow is healthy. And the big rains of December brought large steelhead from Central to Northern California.
Near the Oregon border, the Smith River had a poor salmon return, despite high estimates. Steelhead, also known as rainbow trout, have filled in the gap for anadromous fish. The interest for steelhead on the river is high due to the lack of salmon.
Anglers have been blessed with good numbers of fish on the Smith River, with a mix of hatchery and wild steelhead.
Toward the south, the Upper Trinity and Klamath rivers have had decent returns of steelhead, too. The Upper Klamath, near the town of Hornbook, is producing good numbers of smaller steelhead. The Trinity River has had a decent return of adult steelhead in the upper stretch of river. These areas are high-altitude spots and very cold this time of year.
The Mad River in Northern California has been flowing high and turbid with muddy water. The Mad has had a good return of hatchery steelhead so far this season. Most anglers on the Mad are catching these fish in dark water with long leaders and beads.
When the Mad River is full of fish and water remains brown for days on end, it is questionable whether the fish caught there are biting or being snagged.
The Eel River, which flows from south to north and dumps into the Pacific just south of Eureka, hosts a wild population of steelhead in its scenic waters. The fish are wild and fight hard in the Eel. Fishing has been good on the south fork Eel River, with all catch-and-release fishing in its waters.
The Russian River has had high, muddy flows and has had limited fishable days. The Russian is a tailwater system, which means it is subject to releases from Lake Sonoma. Lake Sonoma is full, and the water in the reservoir is high and muddy. That means the water released from it is also muddy. It may be a while before the Russian flows clear for better steelhead fishing.
Steelhead fishing is nice because of the natural beauty surrounding the rivers. The fish are also quite magnificent and should be handled with pride and care. Remember to get your new license and steelhead report card before your steelhead fishing trip.

This has got to stop. We all know that FAA inspectors at the Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) level are overworked and that FAA regulations, policies, procedures and programs impose impossible requirements on agency personnel. But when a drop-dead simple piece of paperwork that needs an approval signature hits the desk and gets delayed for some obscure confounded reason, causing the grounding of a multimillion-dollar jet, well, this simply has got to stop.
AIN Blogs
I've written periodically about FAA enforcement and what I consider to be abuses of the process, along with sanctions that are significantly disproportionate to the safety impact of the offenses charged.
While Houston Hobby Airport hosts thousands of business aviation flights each year, I wonder how many of the crews transiting the airport are aware of the old Municipal Airport Terminal? It's something that I didn't know still existed until a trip to Houston earlier this year, for the opening of the new Million Air FBO/company headquarters. Driving on Telephone Road on the west side of the airport, I noticed the white art-deco wedding cake-shaped building set back from the street, along with a few signs advertising it as the 1940 Air Terminal Museum.
When Business Jet Traveler interviewed entrepreneur Mark Cuban back in 2010, he explained how he purchased a Gulfstream V online. First, he looked at info about the jet on the manufacturer's website and sent an e-mail to set up a demo flight for his pilot, who reported back that he loved the airplane. Then, recalled Cuban, "I sent another e-mail saying I wanted to buy it. I got the banking instructions, wired the money, and that was it."
It is way too soon to speculate about what might have caused the Gulfstream IV runway excursion crash at Hanscom Field in Bedford, Mass. on May 31, but the NTSB preliminary report's focus on the gust lock system raises some questions.
As the air transport industry's heavy hitters gathered in Doha for IATA's June 1-3 annual general meeting (AGM), thoughts turned to heavy iron—namely, prospective widebody developments that stand to upset the competitive status quo as early as the Farnborough Air Show in July.
Many of us in aviation in the U.S. haven't been paying much attention to our neighbor to the north. Canadians are known for being somewhat quiet and unassuming. Sometimes it's easy to forget that quiet and unassuming doesn't mean they're not busily working on practical solutions to important issues. In fact, there's a lot going on in Canada that we in the U.S. could learn from in the aviation arena.
When it comes to song topics, love is number one, but travel may be a close second. In a gazillion tunes, it seems, someone is hopping on or off a train, boat or plane.
As I write, the whereabouts of the missing Boeing 777 operating as Malaysia Air Flight 370 en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing remains unknown. The Prime Minister of Malaysia has announced that analysis of satellite data suggests the airplane crashed in the south Indian Ocean but no debris linked to the aircraft has been found.
Spending a week in China at the Asian Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition is a refreshing reminder that as much as countries like China want to put general aviation to work, the actual implementation is going to be nothing like what aviation-minded westerners are used to. It seems we have a naive desire to see general aviation in China replicate the landscape of non-commercial aviation in the U.S., Europe, Australia and New Zealand.

The last day of the Roc d'Azur 2011 was very special for BMC Mountainbike Racing Team. It was the last race of the team's inaugural season and brought the team's first prestigious victory in the sport of mountainbiking: German double Champion Moritz Milatz won the men's cross country race of Europe's largest off-road cycling event - the Roc d'Azur in Fréjus (France). Another reason to sadly celebrate and open up a bottle of champagne or two at the finish line was Balz Weber's farewell from professional cycling.
Running for first big win
"That was a great race for us today. To come out with a win and another top 10 finish is great promotion for BMC", summed up sports director Alex Moos. "Everybody on the team did really well", he added. The riders had little time or energy to enjoy the breath-taking Mediterranean scenery in Nice's backyard. There was also no time to take a quick bath in the ocean when the racecourse led through the sand on the beach of St.-Aygulf. Instead, former runner and BMC's team captain Moritz Milatz used the adverse conditions to make use of his superior running skills: "Christoph Sauser gained 10 seconds on me on a single trail section in the final 15km of the race. I could only close part of the gap when we hit the beach." On the final flat kilometres of pavement Milatz was able to suck up to the world marathon champion's wheel. "I knew I should be able to beat Christoph in the sprint so I stayed in his windshield until about 100 meters to go on the homestretch", explained the German his winning tactics.
A rusty start
The race started out rusty for Milatz: "I was so tired in the end of the marathon race Friday so I decided not to warm up today. Hence, I needed some time to get into my rhythm. Once I was in it, I felt very strong on the climbs". The start of the 2350m of climbing spread across 58 kilometers of racing was fast. Furious were the technical descents on dry Southern France dirt that exploded to clouds of dust once the world's best mountainbikers crossed it. It was like riding into the unknown. Milatz took his consequences: "I took the descents quite cautiously. You could neither see the ground or the rider in front of you". His strategy was smart. He did not crash. "The descents were quite hard for me once again because I do not have the kind of handling skills some other riders have", reflected former road cyclist Alex Moos, and resumed "I am very happy with my two 8th places this weekend here at the Roc d'Azur".
Happy end to an inaugural season
A group of 8 riders separated themselves from the field in the beginning. It included both Moritz Milatz and Alex Moos. A steep ascent on gravel busted the group into pieces. Moritz was left with Swiss Sauser (Specialized) and Belgian Champion Sebastian Carabin (Petit Rechain). Hitting the last climb, the Carabin was unable to follow the duo any longer. Gutsy final kilometres of BMC Mountainbike Racing Team's Freiburg-resident sealed the first big international victory of Moritz Milatz and his team. Teammates Julien Tamararcaz, Balz Weber, and Patrik Gallati finished 19th, 25th, and 41st, respectively. What an end to an inaugural season that has pleased its stakeholders!
Good-bye Balz!
The end for BMC Mountainbike Racing Team is temporary. The end for Balz Weber, however, is intended to be of permanent nature. The 30-year-old former World U23 XCO Champion has called an end to his career as professional cyclist. The road has been as rocky for the Swiss citizen as the trails he has been riding on all of his life. He is looking forward to smoother surfaces now. BMC is wishing Balz Weber all the best for the future! It was wonderful to have you on the BMC Mountianbike Racing Team, Balz!

Holy cow you are a crazy woman to rip apart and add more blocks in that short amount of time!!! But, it looks beautiful. I am sure it will be greatly appreciated!ReplyDelete
Your quilt is just gorgeous! I can't believe you added (fuzzymath) 40% and quilted and bound it in half a week! Go you! :)ReplyDelete
Beautiful! I am sure your MIL will love it.ReplyDelete
Fabulous. What a great DIL you are.ReplyDelete
I love the colors! I am seeing lots of quilts with a variety of blocks, which makes them truly unique. Continue the great work. I do have a Q. How do you get your quilts to look crinkly? Do you not pre-wash your fabrics, just wondering.ReplyDelete
I scheduled my WIP post to "post" at midnight. Then all morning I was looking for your WIP post thinking, "Where is it?". Just now found out it's on vacation, I feel stupid. Anyway. Will link up when you get back on Jan 4th.
Beautiful quilt! I am sure your MIL will love it@ Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete

Oh my, I love your quilt. I really like that you made it bigger. I want to do the summer sampler but I can't really make small quilts anymore. My husband wants me to start making bed size quilts so I have to look at all the patterns I like and make them bigger : )ReplyDelete
P.S. I really love your new profile picture.
This is one very beautiful quilt! Well done. Love all the different designs and the bright colours against the white.ReplyDelete
Beautiful, beautiful!ReplyDelete
I'm still trying to get over the shock of knowing you made & added all those extra blocks, bordered, sandwiched, quilted and bound BETWEEN WEDNESDAY AND MONDAY. Hello, new superhero of quilting!! Congratulations, it is a stunning quilt. How gratifying to have such a heartfelt response from your mother in law (no matter how strong her painkillers are)hehe. No really, what more can a quilter ask for? sweet.ReplyDelete
It is a wonderful quilt and it says a lot that you would do all of that work for your MIL. She must be a special lady. You must have worked night and day to finish that. You deserve a rest. Happy Holidays!ReplyDelete
This is gorgeous Lee, fab job and beautiful giftReplyDelete
Lee it is stunning!! Your MIL is quite right to treasure it!! Love the extra blocks too :) Thanks for the bit of Summer, I needed it today!ReplyDelete
What a lucky MIL!!! Wow! I love all the extra blocks you added, they look super fantastic! How sweet of you to make her a get-well quilt, you're such a good daughter-in-law :) I keep meaning to email you and life keeps getting in the way this week - hope all is well with you!ReplyDelete
The new, big version is even more fab than the first. Really like how it all plays together!ReplyDelete
oh it's really beautiful! your MIL is really lucky.ReplyDelete
Congratulations for your absolutly great great Quilt!!! It looks soooo beautiful; I like your new version much better than the original. And so much work in such a short time. Respect! A generous gift.ReplyDelete

Wonderful Lee! Congratulations on the finish. So glad your MIL loves it.ReplyDelete
It's really just stunning! I'd love to find the time to do one of these, must be fun to focus on the different blocks.ReplyDelete
Your Sampler is wonderful! Glad your MIL loves it!!ReplyDelete
I love the color and fabric choices for this quilt. They make it perfect and it's obvious that your design skills influenced the impressive look. Congratulations on the finished quilt!ReplyDelete
Lee, it's gorgeous! Could you please tell me, on the red/aqua block that you list as another HST block, how did you do the math to figure out what you needed? Or could you point me to a tutorial? I'm still new to quilting and trying to learn how to think about this sort of thing intuitively, but I'm not there.ReplyDelete
Lee, this is truly amazing! I loved the original, but the additions made it even better! My first really big quilt was a sampler, which I hand-quilted, and it took me years, so I swore them off (even though I adore it). But all summer i was tempted, and after seeing this, I think I'm going to have to go back and start one of these in the spring...and maybe it will be finished by the end of next summer! Your colors are fantastic - I really love the way it turned out!ReplyDelete
um.. yeh.. that quilt is uh-mazing!!!! I LOVE IT! I hope you had a very Merry Christmas!!!ReplyDelete
Yep, I am with you all the way withReplyDelete
quilts too small to be useful,
you did great... in design and time....
I like quilts on my bed or couch not on the wall.
It looks so great, Lee! I love your additions. I've got seriously like 2 blocks to finish, but I got so busy mine got set to the side. You have completely inspired me to get mine out and finish it. Really, another great one. I know exactly why your Mother-in-law loves it.ReplyDelete
This is one of my all time favorite quilts...ReplyDelete

These controllers were the singular group in Mission Control Houston that was formed to work as a team. They were known as The TRENCH. In that same team spirit, this book about them and by them has been a collective endeavor. They have contributed their own mini autobiographies of life events that shaped their character and their roles and contributions that carried Man to the moon.

Thanks for trying out 0 A.D. and coming here to report your problem. As the game is still in alpha releases there are still many things we need to do. Many of these we know already, so when you provide feedback we would ask you to focus on some of the other points that could be improved.
There is a neat table of planned features at http://trac.wildfire...ayFeatureStatus so you can tell what we are planning to add.
This is a common complaint, and with good reason. The game does not run as fast as we would like. Late in the game you will probably experience some lag, this is caused by a mixture of things, AI and pathfinding are big ones. The problem is worse on island maps and with multiple AI players.
One thing that can be helpful is giving us the profiler information. This automatically generated information is useful for working out where the lag is coming from. If you hit Shift-F11 this will be dumped into a file (location given at the top of the screen). Please upload these data to our forums to help us solve the problem. Thanks!
There's a sound bug!
The sound system has been completely rewritten for Alpha 11. It was well tested, but you may find problems like bad sound or errors. Please report these on Trac or in the Bug Reports forum with as much information as possible including logs.
Retina display issues on OS X
If you find the game won't run correctly in fullscreen on OS X with a retina display, use the config file to start the game in windowed mode as a workaround, see the settings page of the game manual for details.
Missing Animations
Some units glide around or don't drop to the ground when killed. We have an animator who is working away at making pretty animations. More animators are invited to help with this task.
Units Can't Attack When Chasing
There is a problem in the code where units decide to attack, then the chased enemy gets out of range before the attack hits so it is aborted, so in effect any units chasing each other won't be able to deal damage.
Greyed out/disabled menu items
Some menu items can't be clicked on, this is because those features aren't yet implemented.
Units don't fight in formation
Units aren't in formation
Formations have been disabled for the Alpha 17 release, but will be re-enabled in the future.
Can't run two instances of the game simultaneously on Windows
Using Ctrl+Alt+Delete in Windows while the game is loading may cause a crash
Multiplayer Lobby

Common Suggestions
"You should use multiple threads"
0 A.D. was designed when multiple cores were not yet common, and it would take too much work to program the game to get it to use multi-core processors efficiently. Still, it can be good to have multiple cores, because they may be available to other programs running while you play 0 A.D.
"You should use Kickstarter, Indiegogo, etc."
We did try to do an Indiegogo campaign, but while we did raise some money which will go towards improving the game, we did not raise as much as we had hoped. The goal was to raise enough to hire two developers full time for two years, but we did not reach it so we have not been able to hire them. We do hope to be able to for example hire one of the programmers during the summer.
