i already have a custom 2 that i absolutely love, light crisp trigger, smooth tight action, and it's a freaking tack driver! i've read some bad reviews on kimbers but after 3800 rounds through it with only 2 bobbles (and those where with HP's and it not being cleaned after 500 rounds of shooting) i'm not buying into the slander. so today when i was in the gun store i put some money down on a pro carry 2 in stainless. i've been wanting a commander sized 45 since buying my fullsize over a year ago. while i love the full size 1911, there is something about the shorter barreled commander that really appeals to me. now granted, the kimber is not a commander clone, but at least it's about the same size. i won't get it for another month as funds are tight and i have to keep the electricity on, but i figure a couple bucks down here and there and it'll be home in the safe so i can take it out and shoot it. what i like about these series of pistols is that they have a couple "extra" features without being too crazy. nothing against other 1911's but a lot of the stuff people do to them is not really my taste. and i would rather buy something that i add onto as opposed to taking stuff off of. here's a link.http://www.kimberame...ss-pro-carry-ii
put some money down on another kimber

I just shot my buddy's new Kimber and they just feel and shoot better than a lot of guns. All three of my regular shooting buddy's now own Kimbers. It's on my list. I really like the Stainless Pro TLE II.

there are quite a few quality 1911 manufactures out there, springfield is another great one. for my price range though kimber delivers what i want. it'd be nice to have an ed brown or something in that price range but i just can't afford it. everyone who shoots mine really likes it, my brother in law (who is a glock guy) loved it. it won't replace his duty pistol but he had a blast throwing some lead down range with it.

I don't know where you read the complaints in the gun rags, I only remember reading nothing but praise for them. Never handled one myself, but my best friend and a few others rented one at a range and passed it around. The conclusion was "Don't make the mistake of shooting one unless you have the money to buy it. It's that nice". Needles to say, it's on all of their "lists" also. Have fun. Nothing like adding a new member to the family

They are nice guns. My best friend has a Kimber 1911 and it used to jam frequently when it was new. But he did some work on it and now it functions fine.

1. BitTorrent Bundle: Mention BitTorrent and people mistakenly assume that you're talking about piracy, but the company that supports peer-to-peer file sharing is determined to change its reputation -- especially among content creators -- with its new file format, BitTorrent Bundle. Read more about it here.
2. "The Grand Budapest Hotel:" In a terrific example of how film marketing campaigns can use transmedia in a compelling and inventive way, Fox Searchlight has created an interactive Tumblr for the fictional Zubrowka Film Commission to promote Wes Anderson's highly anticipated "The Grand Budapest Hotel," which will is world premiering this week at the Berlin International Film Festival. Read more about the film's interactive web site and visit the Tumblr here.
3. Amazon Pilots: Amazon unveiled its second round of pilots today, including its first two drama projects -- "The After," from "X-Files" creator Chris Carter, and "Bosch," based on Michael Connelly's best-selling detective novel series, our TV editor Alison Willmore reports. You can watch the pilots online for free on Amazon here. Included among them is "Gortimer Gibbon's Life on Normal Street," written by first-time writer David Anaxagoras, the first pilot to be discovered through Amazon Studios' open submission process.

VIDEO: Robert Jasper's Trad M12 Scarefest
In February, German alpinist Robert Jasper opened an exciting new four-pitch M12 WI5 trad mixed-climb on the Breitwangflue wall above Kandersteg, Switzerland. Jasper's route—Ritter der Kokosnuß (Monty Python and the Holy Grail)—is the direct line next to Jasper's Flying Circus (the world's first M10), which he established in 1998. The route has a crux pitch of naturally protected M12 climbing (using pegs, nuts, and friends), an M9 pitch and then finishes with a WI5 pitch.

Indirect Antiglobulin Test
The indirect antiglobulin test (IAT) is a blood test which detects antibodies directed against red blood cell antigens. This is done in preparation for a blood transfusion, or during pregnancy and at delivery to avoid problems or make sure there are no problems.
The IAT looks for circulating antibodies directed against red blood cells (RBCs). RBCs normally have structures on their surface called antigens. You have your own individual set of antigens on your RBCs. These are inherited from your parents. If you have a blood transfusion, your body will recognize antigens on the new blood is not your own. Your plasma cells then may produce antibodies to attack these foreign antigens and red blood cells. People who have many transfusions are more likely to make antibodies to RBCs because they are exposed to more foreign RBC antigens.
When a baby inherits antigens from its father that are not on its mother's RBCs, the mother can produce antibodies against the foreign antigens on her baby's RBCs inside the womb. This can cause hemolytic disease of the newborn, usually not affecting the first baby but may affect subsequent children.
The IAT detects the presence of these circulating RBC antibodies in the fluid portion of the blood (plasma). The first time a person is exposed to a foreign antigen, by transfusion or pregnancy, their cells may recognize the need to produce an antibody directed against the foreign RBCs but does not usually have the time to make enough antibody to actually destroy the foreign cells. When the next transfusion or pregnancy occurs, the antibody may be strong enough to attach to the transfused RBCs or if a woman is pregnant, to her baby's RBCs, causing the red cells to have a shortened survival time.
No preparation or fasting is necessary. A blood sample is drawn from a vein in your arm.
Negative; no agglutination.
Ranges for normal findings may vary among different laboratories and hospitals. You should always check with your doctor after having lab work or other tests done to discuss the meaning of your test results and whether your values are considered within normal limits.
Your caregiver will go over the test results with you and discuss the importance and meaning of your results, as well as treatment options and the need for additional tests if necessary.
It is your responsibility to obtain your test results. Ask the lab or department performing the test when and how you will get your results.

Grand Theft Auto V has received a fresh batch of new screenshots courtesy of Rockstar, showcasing a plethora of action-packed scenes from the hotly-anticipated crime sequel.
Check them out in our gallery here, though be sure to have a quick butcher's at one of the new images below.
GTA V boasts the largest open-world in Rockstar Games' illustrious career, and features three playable characters – Michael, Franklin and Trevor. Rockstar has introduced a number of new tweaks to the formula, essentially evolving "nearly every mechanic."
Returning to the fold from GTA IV will be the mobile phone, albeit in slightly modified form, and while an economy system will be present, it won't involve purchasing property ala Vice City. Vehicles will be expanded greatly, with a massive variety of cars, trucks, bikes, planes, choppers, ATVs and more available for the player to utilize.
Multiplayer has been confirmed too, and adheres to the 'Crews' system from Max Payne 3. GTA V will have a strong relationship with its Rockstar stable mate shooter, allowing gamers to carry over crews from one game to the other, providing you have played both titles.
GTA V is due out in September for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Video game sales in the United States fell 32 percent in April, according to the latest sales data from research firm NPD Group. Total video game sales fell 32 percent to $630.4 million in April, driven downward by a light slate of retail releases and an early Easter holiday, according to NPD. Software sales fell by 42 percent, coming in at around $307.2 million, while hardware declined by 32 percent to $189.7 million.
NPD said that these numbers only represent physical retail sales and not other parts of the full sales picture such as digital sales, downloadable content sales, rentals, mobile game sales, subscriptions, and used games. Factoring those things in, NPD puts the "total consumer spend" at $1.0 billion for April.
Looking at the best selling games for the month, Activision's Prototype 2 was at the top of the heap, followed by Kinect Star Wars. The Xbox 360 version of The Witcher 2 also managed to break into the top ten list for April.
1.Prototype 2 – 360, PS3 (Activision)

SHOT SHOW: Stoeger to Debut M3500. Finally.
A little sneak peak action at the Las Vegas SHOT Show. A big ass poster hangs over the entrance announcing the new Stoeger M3500. And not before time. Questions about the shotgun's arrival stateside have been on the net for, oh, four years. I can tell you nothing about the shotgun save the fact that it uses the inertia-drive system—the same gizmology used by the Benelli M2 Tactical reviewed by TTAG. Which means the M3500 also fires everything from light loads to 3.5″ magnum shells. And, unlike the $1k Benelli, the Stoeger scattergun doesn't cost a whole lot. In other words, what you see above. We'll pop by Stoeger's booth tomorrow and report back. Or not. Depending on how lost I get for how long and where.2

QB Jake Locker hits 3 of 4 passes for 99 yards in two quick scoring drives, then takes a seat for the day.
If University of Washington coach Steve Sarkisian needed any affirmation that he has picked the right starters, he got it quickly Tuesday afternoon.
As the team held its first significant scrimmage of fall camp, the No. 1 offense and defense dominated when matched up against the No. 2 offense and defense, and then took a seat, their point having been made emphatically.
Actually, Sarkisian said it was part of the plan to give the starters minimal work, calling it similar to an NFL exhibition game.
- Seattle fifth-graders will get their camp trip, but teachers refuse to go
- Five things to watch as Seahawks begin OTAs Monday
- What the national media are saying about Robinson Cano and the Mariners' hot start to the season
- Man arrested in attack on Metro bus driver
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
Most Read Stories
But the starters appeared regular-season ready as the No. 1 offense drove easily for touchdowns on both of its series against the backup defense, while the No. 1 defense held the backup offense to just one first down on three series.
"That made me feel the best," Sarkisian said. "That, and being healthy. I thought both sides of the ball of our ones were extremely efficient today."
As Sarkisian noted, there were no significant injuries.
But the starters were hardly out there long enough to get dinged up.
The offense drove 59 yards in three plays for a TD on its first possession, capped by a 36-yard pass from Jake Locker to Devin Aguilar. It then went 95 yards on five plays on its second series, keyed by a 61-yard Locker pass to Jermaine Kearse. Chris Polk concluded that drive with a 16-yard TD in what was his first full-contact action of the fall.
Locker was 3 for 4 for 99 yards before taking a seat, while Polk — who has been eased into action after having shoulder surgery in the offseason — had 44 yards on three carries, looking just like the back who gained 1,113 yards last year as a freshman.
"I thought the results we got are the ones we are looking for," Locker said.
Same with the defense, which other than allowing a 9-yard Johri Fogerson run for a first down pretty much sent the No. 2 offense backward, giving up 15 yards on 11 plays.
"They did what they needed to do and we wanted to see a lot of the other guys, so they got a lot of the reps," said defensive coordinator Nick Holt.
Indeed, the last three quarters of the scrimmage were devoted to the backups. Sarkisian said it was structured that way so he could get a long look at some of the team's 26 scholarship true freshmen to begin making decisions about who will play this season and who will redshirt.
Sarkisian said such decisions won't be made until after another scrimmage on Saturday.
Of most interest may be the battle for the backup QB job between redshirt freshman Keith Price and true freshman Nick Montana.
Statistically, it was almost a dead heat as Price was 11-17 for 130 yards and a touchdown, a 70-yarder to Cody Bruns, while Montana was 14-20 for 123 yards and one TD, an 8-yarder to true freshman DiAndre Campbell.
If Sarkisian is leaning either way on that one, he didn't give it away in his comments, saying, "I thought the two quarterbacks, the two young guys once they settled in, did some nice things for us."
Asked to name a few of the young players who stood out, Sarkisian mentioned safety Sean Parker, receiver Kevin Smith and running back Zach Fogerson, who has largely been used as a fullback until now but got some extensive work at tailback in the scrimmage, gaining 21 yards on seven carries including a 3-yard TD to conclude the scoring.
Holt also singled out Parker, the four-star recruit who chose UW over Michigan and USC on signing day and appears to be living up to the billing, as well as safety Taz Stevenson and defensive ends Hau'oli Jamora and Josh Shirley.
Sarkisian said the starters will get more work on Saturday.

About Rene Verkaart
Who am I? That's a good question. I can't really answer that though. I'm still discovering lots of new things about me.
I can tell you what I do know though; I don't like anything normal, narrow minded people, mediocracy and a colorless lifestyle.
Why typefaces?
It's my flow! I submerge in my fonts when I'm working, forget where I am and why I am. I just AM. Isn't that something worth preserving?
For me personally, typefaces are the ultimate way of expressing myself. But this goes for individuals and companies too. Hence my slogan 'Typography to express yourself'.
A free mind
Most of my typefaces (I call them my 'characters') originate in my holidays. There I can free my mind and get inspired by my surrounding.
The best example for that is my Reethi Rah. I designed this during my honeymoon in August 2005 on the Maldives. It's inspired by the resort where we were living and the mood I was in at the time.

text: Gonzaga University students Erik Fagan and Daniel McIntosh were at home in their university-owned apartment in Spokane, Wash. when a man came to the door asking for money. The man, who police later determined is a convicted felon, got aggressive with Fagan, who called to McIntosh for help. McIntosh, a Right-to-Carry permit holder, retrieved a pistol and came to his roommates aide. The aggressor fled once he spotted McIntosh carrying a firearm. Following the incident, the roommates alerted the Spokane Police and campus security to the situation. Despite plaudits from the Spokane Police Department, who said the students did the right thing, Gonzaga campus security confiscated the pistol, and a shotgun the pair also kept in their home. Further, the roommates were brought before the schools disciple board and placed on university probation. In the wake of national exposure, Fagan and McIntosh have announced that they are appealing their probation, and Gonzaga has indicated that they will review their weapons policy.

SOUTHS LOGAN MAGPIES 28 defeat TWEED HEADS SEAGULLS 20
Souths Logan is on the warpath for its first hat-trick of wins since 1996, having severely dented Tweed Heads? finals chances with a 28-20 win at the Piggabeen Complex.
After accounting for Ipswich the previous week, the Magpies now have last-placed Central in their sights in Round 18 as they look to complete an overdue trifecta.
Not since the inaugural season of the Queensland Cup have the Davies Park natives had such fortune in three successive weeks ? a season when the Pies scored their one and only trip to the finals.
Although out of the running for the premiership in 2005, another win for Souths Logan could see it threatening to finish higher than tenth for just the third time in the last decade.
?We?ve run into form and, for once, there?s been the luxury of having the same team on the paddock for a few weeks,? coach Phil Ecnomidis said.
?There are a lot of players at this club with a future in the game.?
All the same, the Magpies aren?t getting too far ahead of themselves, considering the victory over Tweed was just their 50th in the modern State League and marked their first winning streak since 2000.
Counterpart Steve Murphy was thanking his stars when other results fell Tweed?s way, keeping the Seagulls in the running. But he didn?t mince words in his appraisal of his own side?s performance against Souths Logan.
?Basically we played with a poor attitude,? Murphy said.
?Count it as a missed opportunity for Tweed and sadly, I fear we may look back on that game as the defining moment of the season.
?We?ll move on from here; Redcliffe at Redcliffe?struth.?
While enforcer Daniel Joyce (pictured) was a standout for Souths Logan, the Seagulls clearly missed forwards Ben Hill and Matt King and centre David Strachan. In a convincing first half display the Magpies led 16-0, beginning with an embarrassingly easy Matt Bell try.
Saturday?s clash between Souths Logan and the Comets will be held in the Central Highlands township of Blackwater, with Tweed facing its moment of truth against Redcliffe on Sunday.
SOUTHS LOGAN 28 (Matt Bell, Stan Fau, Jacob Christie, Craig Chapman, Bob Blair tries; Craig Chapman 4 goals)
TWEED HEADS 20 (Tim Maccan 2, Nat Barnes, Damien Moore tries; Brad Davis 2 goals)

Acceptance Policy
Payment may be made by Paypal, credit/debit card, money order, check, or cash (USD only). Customers using online payment will receive an e-mail confirmation of their order from Paypal when payment is received, and another when the shipping label is created. Customers opting to mail in payment do so at their own risk and are encouraged to conceal payment well. Mail in orders are usually shipped the same day they are received; customers will be emailed when the order is filled. For credit card payments, such payment is subject to the approval of the financial institution issuing the credit card and we shall not be liable in any way if such financial institution refuses to accept or honor the credit card for any reason. If a Paypal claim is filed against us claiming 'Unauthorized Use' of the account, that account will be banned from future orders, for your protection and ours.
While all products listed are available, some items may occasionally not be available for immediate delivery, usually due to our material supplier being backordered. You will be notified if your order will take longer than 14 days to ship. We reserve the right, without liability or prior notice, to revise, discontinue, or cease to make available any or all products or to cancel any order. If there is any revision, discontinuance, or cessation, we will contact you regarding a replacement or refund.
Shipping and
Standard shipment is done using U.S.P.S first class shipping from California, USA. U.S.P.S estimates domestic first class delivery at 2-5 days. For international first class shipping U.S.P.S says delivery times may vary. In our experience, most packages arrive within 2 weeks, though it is not unusual for delivery to take up to 8 weeks, due to international shipments being subject to customs regulations and inspections. All international packages weighing over one ounce are required to have a customs form attached, but these are not scanned for tracking for first class or Priority shipments, only to verify receipt at the post office it was shipped from. Tracking is not available for international orders unless Express shipping is chosen and paid for. Priority and Express Flat Rate international shipping is an option at checkout for international customers for an additional shipping fee. U.S.P.S estimates Priority International delivery at 6-10 days, though it may still take as long as 8 weeks. For Express shipping, delivery is guaranteed by a date given at the time of shipping, and shipments are usually delivered within 7 days. If an order has not been received 8 weeks after shipment, it is eligible for reshipment at our discretion. Orders shipped to Malaysia and the Philippines are not eligible for reshipment if shipped via USPS First Class shipping, as the postal services there have proven unreliable with first class shipping. It is your responsibility as a customer to ensure that your shipping address is correct. Orders shipped to incorrect shipping addresses (as provided by the customer through Paypal) will only be eligible for reshipment to a new address once the misdirected shipment has been returned to us by U.S.P.S. Orders shipped to invalid addresses that are not returned to us are not eligible for reshipment. A reshipping fee, not to exceed the actual shipping/handling fee, may be required to reship the order. If you do not want the order reshipped, it will be refunded, less the shipping charges. If the shipping address provided to us on your order by Paypal is correct and the order has not arrived 8 weeks after the ship date, we will reship the order. Orders sent to a correct shipping address which do not arrive are only eligible for reshipment, a refund or credit will not be offered. If reshipment is refused by the customer and/or a refund given by Paypal or Cubesmith for an order eligible for reshipment, we reserve the right to require that future orders placed on that account be shipped via priority or express mail, as they are more reliable than first class mail.
Some countries may charge an import fee for packages of a certain weight or cost. It is the responsibility of the customer to be aware of such regulations, and Cubesmith is not responsible for any import fees.
If anything is wrong with or missing from your order, please notify us within 14 days of receiving your order.
Return Policy
Due to the consumable nature of our products, all items are final sale. Please be sure your order is correct before submitting payment. If you need to make a change to your order before it has shipped, please email us at email@example.com.

I'm respooling my reel and was thinking I'd use solid-core for the backing then attach a hollow-core section with a reverse loop. Seems a lot less expensive. Am I missing something? Why have 3 to 4 hundred yds of hollow core when all I need is to attach a hollow section with a loop at the end?

Historic Polaroid collection going to NYC auction
NEW YORK A striking black-and-white photograph of the majestic Bridalveil waterfall is among numerous that landscape photographer Ansel Adams took with Polaroid film - a technology many celebrated artists embraced to produce innovative and surprising works.
The mural-sized iconic image, "Bridalveil Fall, Yosemite," is going on the auction block at a pre-sale estimate of $70,000 to $100,000.
"It is the largest and best collection of works by Ansel Adams to ever come on the market, representing a broad spectrum of most of his career," said Sotheby's photography expert Denise Bethel.
The image is among 1,000 Polaroid and gelatin silver prints by some of the biggest names in 20th-century photography being offered at Sotheby's on June 21-22 as part of a bankruptcy court-approved sale. The prints are being sold by PBE Corp., a previous owner of the Polaroid brand.
The Polaroid camera was the invention of Edwin H. Land, whose revolutionary 1948 technology for instant photography was not matched until the arrival of the digital camera almost 40 years later.
Land hired Adams as a consultant a year after the camera hit the market - a collaboration that lasted 35 years. The photographer produced some of the most sweeping and dramatic black-and-white photos of the American West, especially of the national park system.
Soon after coming to Polaroid, Adams began building the company's collection, acquiring works by such lens masters as Dorothea Lange, Margaret Bourke-White, Edward Weston, Imogen Cunningham and William Garnett. He also selected works by emerging artists whose work he admired.
The collection continued to grow under a company initiative started around 1960 known as the Artist Support Program, with images by such contemporary artists as Chuck Close, William Wegman, Lucas Samaras and David Levinthal.
The images at Sotheby's constitute the cream of the storied collection of 16,000 photographs, many taken with a variety of Polaroid cameras and films - from the immense 40-by-80-inch camera that required three technicians to operate to several small instant cameras that were commercially popular for decades. The 1,000 images are estimated to bring $7.5 million to $11 million, representing about 90 percent of the total collection's value.
The largest number of works belongs to Adams, about 400 Polaroid and non-Polaroid images.
They also include such masterpieces as his mural-sized print of cedar trees in Yosemite National Park, taken with Type 55 Polaroid film and estimated to sell for $60,000 to $90,000; a version of his classic "Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico," taken in 1941 with conventional film, estimated to fetch $300,000 to $500,000; plus a selection of rare color Polaroid images.
The record auction price for an Adams photo is $609,600 for a gelatin silver print of "Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico," also from 1941, sold at Sotheby's in 2006. An Adams portfolio of 12 Polaroid film images sold for $157,000 at Christie's in 2008.
Under the Artist Support Program, artists were given Polaroid cameras and film in exchange for their feedback and images, said Barbara Hitchcock, the collection's longtime curator and director.
The company "realized it would be a great way to acquire an exciting, diversified collection of original instant images while they were also gathering information about the product itself," said Hitchcock, who oversees the remaining 15,000 images in the collection, which are stored in a climate-controlled facility in Somerville, Mass.
The equipment also provided the artists with great latitude for experimentation and ways to personalize their work.
Samaras started pushing dyes around on the Polaroid print, transforming the images, "making them otherworldly and crazy," Hitchcock said.
Les Krims scrambled and drew on the film's emulsion while it was drying, producing "wonderful creations that are handwork as well as photography," Bethel said.

A typical sound-absorbing material used in a muffler is a thick layer of fine fibres; the fibres are caused to vibrate by the sound waves, thus converting the sound energy to heat. Muffler configurations Mufflers that cancel attenuate sound waves by interference are known as reactive mufflers. These devices generally separate the waves into two components that follow different paths and then come together again out of phase (out of step), thus canceling each other out and reducing the sound.
In the typical muffler reactive design shown schematically in the illustration, the heavy arrows indicate the gas flow, and the light arrows the acoustic flow. The chambers B and C are known as resonators and are of such dimensions that they flow of exhaust gas through a set of tubes and chambers inside the muffler. One important chamber is known as the Helmholtz resonator. This chamber is of a dimension carefully tuned to reflect and cancel sound waves of specified frequencies. The discharge tube D is surrounded by small annular (ringlike) chambers; sound enters these chambers through small holes in the discharge tube and is absorbedIn addition, the tubes can be perforated with small holes that allow the reflection and interference of sound waves of other frequencies. The result is the attenuation of sound across a range of desired frequencies.
Mufflers of the straight-through type have a single tube with small holes connecting with annular chambers that are frequently stuffed with a sound-absorbing material.

I just bought a Suntour Cyclone MK II rear dérailleur to go on my Pug UE 18. The item looks nice but he did not include the nut that holds the screw that attaches the dérailleur to the dérailleur hanger. Does that make sense? I just wrote the seller a note inquiring about that nut. Shouldn't it have been included? Not a derailleur hanger, but the nut that attaches to the screw that holds it onto a hanger. That is what I think I am owed, that nut.
I have never bought a used derailleur so I'm wanting to make sure my expectations are in line with reality. Without that nut you cannot attach it to anything.

So, Rocket releases an horribly unfinished early access game that hits $45,000,000+ in sales due to people believing in his vision. Then he just takes his cut and runs away without getting the product anywhere near a finished state?Dean Hall plans to leave Bohemia by the end of 2014, in order to set up a new studio in New Zealand. The early access version of the multiplayer survival sim passed 1.5 million players this weekend and I dont think its dropped out of the top three sellers on Steam since release, but Hall told Eurogamer that his continued presence would become a hindrance to the project.
I'm very pissed that I supported DayZ.
I'll personally be boycotting anything he or his new studio puts out.

NEW PORT RICHEY — Freedom isn't free, speakers at the Rotary Club of New Port Richey's Salute to Veterans said Wednesday.
The service club paid tribute to more than 80 local veterans in advance of Veterans Day on Monday.
The main speaker, Ret. Major William Kevin Morey, thanked the veterans for their service. His 20 years in the military service included service in Operation Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom. He later worked at a veterans affairs office.
"You paid a price," Morey said. "There are some of us in this room who know people who paid the ultimate price."
Morey said a definition of a veteran "is a person who has put it all on the line, somebody who has stepped up and said, 'I'm putting everything that I am, everything that I will ever be, everything that I will ever have.' "
"I see some guys here, the World War II vets, God bless you all," Morey said. "I hate to think of this world if you had not stepped up and done what needed to be done." His remark garnered loud applause.
The next generations must be sure "that torch never goes out," Morey said.
As for benefits, Morey urged veterans to review their medical records with a representative at Veterans of Foreign Wars, Amvets, Disabled American Veterans or some other service agency.
"That (advocate) needs to be your new best friend," Morey said. "That needs to be your best battle buddy" to plead cases for medical benefits.
At the start of the program, Gulf High School NJROTC students posted the colors.
The Rev. Guy Sanders, pastor of First Baptist Church of New Port Richey, gave the invocation.
After the pledge of allegiance, Julie Black sang "God Bless America."
Steve Booth explained the history of the poppy, which became a symbol of the sacrifice made by soldiers because was one of the few plants that could grow on scorched battlefields. Genesis School students passed out poppies to audience members.
Paul Lembo was recognized for organizing the event.
U.S. Rep. Gus Bilirakis, R-Palm Harbor, was among the score of guests.

The new RPI and its effect on scheduling
by Ken Pomeroy on Friday, October 14, 2005
I love it when data speaks for itself. It doesn't happen often, but I believe I've found one of those cases.
When it was revealed last summer that the RPI would be altered to give an undisclosed bonus to road wins and then when the formula was announced last summer, it was hailed as a boon for teams in non-power conferences. Not only would they be rewarded with a boost in the RPI for all of the non-conference road games they have to play, but they would also reap the benefit of power conference teams that want to take advantage of the road win component of the RPI. Power conference teams would in turn schedule a few more road games because of the new formula. Life would be great.
I recall this claim being rather common. Unfortunately, the only example I can find at the moment is from Dick…

The best mirror you will ever have is watching and listening to your kids. Without even trying, you are giving them daily lessons on what to say, how to say it and how to stand when you say it.
When my older daughter was five, she would play house with her friends. When it was her turn to be the mom, she would pretend to be on the phone. It would go something like this:
"Ya, I'm heading to spin class and then I'm going to meet Maria at Starbucks." I couldn't believe my ears. It made me realize how many times I would have had to say that for her to have it committed to memory. Did I mention that she opened the fridge door and stood in front of it while she was 'playing the mom'?
My daughters also use phrases that I use every day and it sounds so strange coming out of their mouths. How weird is it for a five-year-old to say "well that wasn't long for this world" when I eat my sandwich quickly. Or to say "whats the disconnect?" when I don't understand what they are trying to tell me.
My favorite is when my older one says to my younger one "Misha, we are not here to cater to your whims" or "Misha, you have to eat your vegetables. Its the law." All mine and making me realize I say some pretty bizarre things.
How do your kids imitate you?

The President's Space Policy Will Compromise American Jobs and American World Leadership

Between 2006 and 2010, the number of patents issued to people in the San Francisco Bay Area grew by 26 percent, while they grew by a whopping 79 percent in the Puget Sound area.
WHEN MICHAEL Hite and John Hoekman first met in 2007 as graduate students during a business-plan competition at the University of Washington, the creative sparks flew right away.
Hoekman, a scientist, had been researching a way to administer drugs to the brain more effectively, and he'd hit upon a theory.
Maybe the way to bypass the brain's built-in defenses against foreign substances could be through the upper nasal cavity, by applying drugs in the olfactory region where those defenses are weakest but most nasal sprays can't reach.
- Purple Heart plant bed vandalized days before Memorial Day
- Refusal in Bernie Sandersland to accept reality is really unreal
- Central District's shrinking black community wonders what's next
- Boeing tankers will be delivered to Air Force late — and incomplete
- Seattle's vanishing black community
Most Read Stories
Hite was studying the same idea and suggested they could build a new company around it.
"A lightbulb went off," Hite says, recalling that night five years ago. "I said, 'This is so fundamental and such a leap forward. We could make this work.' "
They won the business-plan competition.
Today, Hite, Hoekman and co-founder Rodney Hoh run the medical-device company Impel Neuropharma from a small lab on Seattle's First Hill, putting that idea to the test with their patented POD nasal drug-delivery system.
Two oversize grant checks totaling $30,000 decorate a room in the company's offices — a daily reminder that lightbulb moments can pay off if you know what to do, and whom to call, after that initial burst of inspiration.
As Hite and Hoekman discovered, invention has many mothers. But the subculture of innovation fueling the dreams of people who want to be the next Bill Boeing or Bill Gates is harder to discern.
There are lots of ways to measure a region's intellectual capital, its innovation mojo.
One way is to look at the number of patents issued to people and companies in the region each year. Prosperityblog recently posted results of its study showing that the Puget Sound area is second only to the San Francisco Bay Area in the number of "utility patents" issued in the United States to protect the function and capabilities of inventions, even though the Bay Area has a population twice as large as ours. More tellingly, between 2006 and 2010, the number of patents issued to people in the Bay Area grew by 26 percent, while they grew by a whopping 79 percent here.
Another way of measuring is to think of the area as a kind of innovation ecosystem, full of thinkers and tinkerers who compete but also feed each other.
SEATTLE IS a hotbed of great ideas, and those ideas bounce like Ping-Pong balls from place to place.
Think of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation with its $33.5 billion endowment to fund projects in global health and education, which would not exist were it not for Gates' staggering success at Microsoft.
Very little hardscrabble research goes on at its stylishly serene campus near downtown Seattle. What the foundation does instead is fund other people's innovations, or make a direct plea to researchers and big thinkers to help with one of the organization's own goals, such as fighting malaria.
"We'll put out a call to the world" for creative ideas and promising science, says Tom Scott, the foundation's director of brand and innovation.
Given the foundation's immensity, it can afford to put hundreds of balls into play at any one time, increasing the chances of a truly great breakthrough.
Take, for instance, Gates' support for the vaccine efforts at the UW and Seattle's Infectious Disease Institute, or its grant to a World Vision researcher who is refining mobile technology that can be used by health workers in developing countries.
The foundation receives thousands of proposals each year for programs such as its Grand Challenges Exploration grants, for which applicants must make a convincing pitch in just two short pages.
"What's really neat," Scott says, "is someone may submit an idea and as the process goes on, they may connect with other people who have submitted ideas and kind of tweak theirs. It kind of creates a community of collaboration, and that's exciting."
Hite agrees: "There is a feedback mechanism in this town that is different from other places such as San Francisco or Boston."
The UW's director of the Center of Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Connie Bourassa-Shaw, has thought a lot about how to maintain a climate of innovation that produces real results in the form of pioneering technologies, products and companies.
Maybe it's less about building a specific curriculum or following a set of rules than promoting a certain attitude.
"There are lots of people who come up with great ideas every day, but they don't do anything about it," Bourassa-Shaw says. "A great idea is not a great company. There's a lot that has to happen between that lightbulb going off and something over here providing value to customers, and the company, of course."
The ideal innovator, she says, is one who can see a pioneering opportunity, then surround himself with good people who can help carry that idea through to the marketplace — or maybe even create a whole new market.
"It takes a specific sort of individual to say, 'I see this problem. I can solve this problem. I'm gonna do this thing,' " she says.
Luckily, our region has no shortage of role models operating at this level.
Fortune magazine recently listed Gates, Amazon's Jeff Bezos and Starbucks' Howard Schultz among the top 12 "Greatest Entrepreneurs of Our Time."
All you have to do is visit a place like Intellectual Ventures Lab in Bellevue, the invention and patent mill founded in 2008 by Microsoft megamillionaire Nathan Myhrvold, to get a feel for how those great minds think.
As Bourassa-Shaw suggests, they are not like the rest of us.
Sitting in his office one miserably rainy day, the IV Lab's director, Geoff Deane, lets out a belly laugh over the mere idea of harnessing or even understanding the level of creative thinking required for innovation to happen.
"Where does that spark come from?" he says. "That's a hell of a question!"
With billions of dollars in its research war chest, IV Lab specializes in mixing garage-level tinkering with strategizing among the world's smartest people.
But when Deane, formerly chief technology officer of a medical-device company in California, arrived at IV in 2008, there were two machinists, an administrative assistant and himself. There was no real business strategy.
Very much in keeping with the freewheeling personality of its founder, Myhrvold, "We were told to figure it out," Deane says.
"At my first major meeting on the job," he says with lingering disbelief, "I'm sitting next to Bill Gates, and we're talking about his vaccine-development strategy for the next 10 years at the Gates Foundation."
"When you're sitting on the outside of the universe and kind of wondering what it's like in the middle, you don't quite know where it is but you know it's somewhere," he says of his first months at IV. "And when you get there, you're like, 'Oh! This is where this stuff happens!' "
He cracks up laughing again.
Deane says his company's business is to dwell in the "fuzzy front end" of innovation, where blue-sky thinking and prolific patent-making rule. The lab will pass the most promising ideas on to others who will develop them into products for the market.
He says members of his team of about 110 researchers and inventors hold regular "invention sessions" to dream up ideas that will have high impact "and make us a lot of money, quite frankly." IV Lab is a business, after all — and a growing one. It will hire about 50 more inventors by year's end.
Even so, at IV Lab, the approach remains, " 'What are we doing today? Let's go play,' " Deane says.
Where else but here, for instance, would people conceive of a machine to beat back hurricanes or reverse global warming?
Deane may not be able to answer the question of exactly how lightbulb moments happen, but he's created an environment that seems designed to increase the chances that they will.
Taking a tour of the complex's rarefied wonders with Deane is a bit like being led around the Chocolate Factory by Willy Wonka.
The whole compound is decorated with "little artifacts" — purchased at auctions by Myhrvold and others on the team. They have a glassed-in Wimhurst electrostatic generator from the 1800s, which Deane cranks to produce startling, Frankenstein-y lightning bolts. "It's in a glass case because it can actually kill you," Deane says before breaking out into childlike laughter once more.
There's a 1960s-era computer as well as Soft-serve and Slurpee machines — somebody had to invent those, too.
Each building at IV Lab is named after a famous inventor.
We stroll from the Da Vinci Building, where Deane's digs are, next door to the Gutenberg Building. The annex houses a massive computer that Deane casually says is "solving problems" for IV's nuclear-reactor company, TerraPower, and mapping out disease patterns to develop vaccine programs.
We cross the street to a drab, 20,000-square-foot warehouse IV shares with a commercial cleaning business. Just inside, we're greeted by a life-size model of a skeleton dressed in a lab coat, its light-up eyeballs made of yellowcake uranium.
In addition to aggressively acquiring patents from other research groups, a practice that has earned the firm some detractors who believe they've been overzealous, the company draws from a worldwide network of several thousand outside inventors who constantly feed in new ideas.
But at the lab itself, Deane has about 27 Ph.Ds on staff. Some employees come from other companies, where they gained experience developing products. "And then you have some people who are sort of self-educated," he says.
"You throw 'em all together and you see what comes out, and what you end up getting is an attitude which is best described as 'irreverent.' It's a little tongue-in-cheek. It's a little fun . . . We're serious about the research that we do but, you know, rules need not apply here." (More laughter.)
The IV Lab complex is plastered with inspirational and cheeky sayings from great inventors throughout history, but you can't help thinking of something Gene Wilder's Willy Wonka said: "A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men."
IV Lab, the center of the universe where "stuff happens," is indeed a realm of pure imagination.
The lab may use base things that most of us have seen or heard of before, but many of its products are straight out of Dr. Who.
Just above the skeleton is a video screen with red and green bands of light streaking across it. Deane points to an aquarium-like container at the far end of the room, where mosquitoes zip back and forth. A "photonic fence" in the lab picks up the flutter of their wings, showing them as red or green streaks on the screens. Male and female mosquitoes flap their wings at different speeds, producing distinct frequencies. The fence's laser can be programmed to home in on the females — only female mosquitoes transmit malaria — and zap them dead in the blink of an eye, a trick Deane demonstrates with pride.
The ideas that spring out of the lab are downright Pythagorean. One cool idea here plus another cool idea being hashed out across the room can equal something even more mind-blowing than the two original ideas.
"You get a chemist hanging out with a biologist hanging out with a neuroscientist and you get new stuff," Deane says. "A mathematician wandered into a meeting a couple of weeks ago and ended up solving a problem that had been plaguing him for like four months."
When people like Bill Gates hang out at IV Lab, amazing things happen. Deane shows off a portable refrigeration unit that can keep an ice cube frozen for 100 days, a great tool that can be adapted for storing lifesaving vaccines in developing countries as well as perishable goods that farmers can transport to distant markets.
Deane's inventors have also built an antenna tower with a receiver that can track moving satellites using "metamaterials" that can bend radiated emissions, such as light, a technology that could revolutionize wireless communications — or just make a cool invisibility cloak someday.
Then there is what looks like a kitchen that's been plucked out of someone's home and placed, intact, in the middle of the lab. This one area has made Myhrvold something of a household name. Here, he and his "Modernist Cuisine" researchers are revolutionizing the way we prepare food.
As we pass, one of the researchers on the cuisine team "cooks" with a jar of raspberries, but on second glance, you realize the kitchen is stocked with beakers, test tubes and other paraphernalia not found in grandma's kitchen.
And those raspberries? A closer look reveals they are frozen so solid they're giving off cold vapors. This will be no old-fashioned dessert.
AFTER THE mind-bending attractions of IV Lab, it's refreshing to walk into the cluttered offices of Tovolo, a small kitchenware company hidden away in a complex close to Seattle's Lake Union.
There, owner Matthew Frank and his team sketch out, design and market innovative and brightly colored takes on mundane utensils like spatulas, mixers, tea presses and ice-pop molds.
While the grant makers at the Gates Foundation sponsor programs to wipe out disease and the geniuses at IV Lab brainstorm inventions with a distinct wow-factor, the staff at Tovolo employs a subtler cleverness when designing a new take on, say, a casserole-dish holder or a lemon juicer, in hopes they can "create delight" at the point of sale, as chief designer Ryan Peloquin puts it.
"We literally go back to the drawing board and reinvent the wheel with each of these implements," he says.
At the end of the day, though, the same rules for whether to move forward with a project apply here as much as at the upper echelons of research, Frank says.
"Does this make sense? Is it marketable? Does it have a story behind it?" he says, reeling off the questions his team must ask for every design.
"There has to be an emotional connection from the user," he says. "There has to be an 'Aha!' moment."
Even for a company dedicated to helping people have more fun cooking, the key to success starts with a spark.
