Jerry, to comment on you last message about gas prices, we recently took a week+ trip to CA from home state of CO. We encountered reasonable prices, anywhere from $3.45-3.65 in most states, but got sticker shock in CA at $4.15. I was proud we put over 3500 miles on our old '89 Southwind, with only a couple of minor problems.
We usually total about 5K miles per year.
Hope you feel better soon, and can get back on the road soon!

I'm going to make you guys cry. We just saw $3.23 here in south Texas. The problem is that sounds great. But it is not when you consider how much lower it used to be and should be!

We are finally on the brink of our travel season. We head south tomorrow for our usual spring trip to MS and LA. The gas prices here in Chicago are still unbelievable. A local news show a few days ago said we have the highest city prices in the lower 48. They are still well over $4 everywhere locally and I even saw a station today whose lowest priced gas was $4.57/gallon. Considering the amount of gas I used over the winter keeping the batteries and generator up, I am hoping to get a couple hundred miles south of here before I have to get gas. I'm certainly looking forward to relatively cheaper gas during this trip.

Gas prices just went up over 10% this past week in many places in BC. Just another ripoff from our friendly oil companies. I noticed that just south of the border in Washington state the rise wasn't as big. I usually check out this website http://www.automallusa.net/gas-prices.html for up-to-date gas prices. It usually is more current and has more locations than most of the other gas websites.

We have WAWA gas stations opening all over Central Florida and I've noticed that anywhere one of them has opened, the other stations have had to lower their prices. Gas is the cheapest I've seen in a long time. Luckily we're only heading to North Carolina and maybe Virginia this summer, so our gas consumption will be WAAAAY down (we usually put 13-15,000 miles on the truck in our 4-5 months on the road).

Well, our 4 week trip to MS and LA is about to end and we will be back to $4+ gas prices at home. Once we got out of IL and into MO 4 weeks ago, we paid between $3 and $3.40/gal. in MO, AR, MS, and LA. There were some guys in the RV park office this evening talking about gas prices north of here (Effingham, IL). They were saying that it was $3.80 in Champaign, IL and well over $4 in Joliet, IL. We usually top off around Kankakee, IL, so I'm guessing that our last fill will be over $4/gal. What lies ahead when we hit the road again in July?

Excellent thread!
The price of fuel really does influence our driving anywhere decisions...not just pulling the Travel Trailer.
We just came through a siege of over 3 weeks in our Northern Midwest area where the cheapest gasoline was in excess of $4.30 per gallon. Pulling the camper with the truck was out of the question. We actually limited our driving even into town for groceries to one trip a week which is combined with mandatory scheduled Dr. Appointments.
Both my husband and I are retired and our only income is Social Security. We do not delve into our retirement savings except for large purchases (cars) etc. We choose to live out of our monthly income. This involves saving up for trips lasting a month or more.
Fuel costs are the largest expense we encur while traveling with the RV.
Campgrounds are our next biggest expense.
If we are sightseeing intransit then entrance fees and tour tickets are our next biggest cost.
(We compensate for the high fuel costs by rarely eating in restauraunts)
We buy groceries locally and don't encur any more cost than if we were at home.
We carry a motor scooter with us, and use it for transportation while in a campground.

It is hard to believe that we've been home for almost 5 weeks and will be leaving for our summer trip this Sunday. The local gas prices here have finally gotten down to around $4/gal. I was paying over $4.40 in the middle of June. I know almost the entire rest of the country has been cheaper than our general area (IL, WI, MI, etc.). It would be nice if we didn't have to pay anywhere near that for our entire 2 month trip. It is a long way out to Washington/Oregon and back. We usually put on about 7,000 miles on this kind of trip. We haven't been all the way out to the Pacific in 4 years.
I need to start adding to my review total since the are a couple of others on this site who have been cutting into my lead since the beginning of the year. Folks who travel all year have a big advantage over those of us who are only on the road 4 or 5 months a year.

New trailer this year, we are shooting for 40 nights but since it is all in New England the miles do not add up that much, trips are anywhere from 50 - 240 miles round trip for the most part.

A very easy way to cut the cost of campgrounds in half is to stay at Wal-Mart every other night. If you have good AGM batteries, you can cut them in thirds by staying there twice and once in a campground. Phone app help also. We love Pass Port America's 50% discount.

That's great idea. Another way is to stay in one of the travel centers that some gas stations provide. This cuts down the driving time so one can get some rest. You will have to deal with the noise coming from the trunks that seem to run their engines nonstop. We always slept through the noise and constant movements of the big rigs and still wake up the next morning feeling refreshed and ready to face the day.

Another 2 month summer trip is in the books. Chicago to the Pacific Northwest and back - just about 7,600 miles. Fortunately, we never paid $4/gal. or more. We did, however, pay $3.99 a couple times: once in Belfield, ND and a couple times in WA and on the OR coast. Except for that one charge in ND, the prices east of the Rockies weren't too bad ($3.40s to $3.70) but ID, WA, and OR were mostly between $3.80 and $4. I did see a few above $4. Now that I am home, I was able to find gas for under $4 in the nearby suburbs.
I got under 10 mpg for much of the trip because of all the ups and downs of mountain driving. So, I probably used over 800 gallons of gas at a cost of around $3,000 for a 2 month trip. Not great, but it could have been worse. Now, how far do we go in the fall?

Well, our travels are over for the year. We got back just ahead of the earlier than usual cold weather in the Midwest. We had just enough time (about a week) to winterize the RV before the first hard freeze in our immediate area. After leaving Chicago at the end of September, we paid about $3.20/gal. in central IL and prices stayed at least that low as we traveled south and west. Our itinerary on this trip was somewhat convoluted due to family considerations, so we ended up traveling an additional 1,000+ miles. The entire trip was over 4,000 miles. Fortunately, the gas prices in October were not what they were during the summer. By the time we were headed home in early November, we paid under $3 at several places in MS and MO. Even 50 miles south of Chicago our last day, we only paid about $3.30 the first weekend of November. I paid $3.45 locally last week to fill the car, but even that has dropped since then. Maybe next year won't be as bad this year was during my travel season. It would be nice to not have to worry about $4/gal. gas in the summer when I usually drive up to 10,000 miles.

That big orange "egg" in the sky will shine upon us throughout this Easter Sunday. Along with the bright sunshine, the mercury will soar to an unseasonably warm 76°!
Today's sunshine will carry over into at least part of Monday. High clouds will start to increase Monday afternoon ahead of the next weather system.
An area of low pressure over the Great Lakes will drag a cold front across the Tri-State late Monday night and early Tuesday morning. As it does, we'll likely see a fairly narrow band of showers and possibly a thunderstorm or two.
While highs Monday will continue to be unseasonably warm--mid to upper 70s--we'll cool off a bit behind the front on Tuesday with highs in the upper 60s.

Bramlett and O'Bannon were friends and frequently drank and conversed after the mills had closed down for the day. On one particularly drunken night they got into a heated argument. Before things got bad, O'Bannon left and Bramlett went home to his wife and kids. He seethed throughout the night, and upon waking the next morning, he visited his neighbor and asked to borrow a gun. The neighbor asked him if he was going squirrel hunting and Larkin replied, "yeah, and I'll kill a d--- big one before I get back."
He made his way to the mill and yelled for O'Bannon to show his face. He screamed out, "Say your prayers. O'Bannon!" Seeing the gun, O'Bannon seized the opportunity to lunge towards his aggressor. The gun went off, hitting O'Bannon's leg, severing the femoral artery which killed him in a very short time.
After returning to the scene of the crime (which later proved habitual), Bramlett was arrested and jailed. At his trial, Bramlett called his children up and told them to look at him. He told them they were "looking at a dead man," for them to take note and he wanted them to always remember this and to do the same thing if anyone ever crossed them.
Bramlett pled not guilty and the case was continued. Before the next turn of the court he managed to escape from the Cherokee County jail. He travelled to Murray County, Ga., then up to South Carolina, back to Chattooga County, Ga., and eventually went on to Louisville, Ky. From there he fled to Canada. After two years and 8 months he returned to Chattooga County, Georgia where he was recognized and subsequently arrested and extradited back to Cherokee County. But due to the popularity of the case in Cherokee County, Bramlett's counsel requested a change of venue, and before the Fall term of 1857 he was transferred to the jailhouse on West Ladiga Street in Jacksonville, then the County Seat of Benton County.
"We the jury find the defendant guilty of the murder of Benjamin F. O'Bannon in the first degree and that he must suffer death."
The Honorable W. M. Brooks sentenced Bramlett to hang for the murder of O'Bannon. Bramlett's counsel, the Honorable Alexander White, appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court in hopes of over-turning the verdict by Judge Brooks. The Supreme Court rejected his appeal stating, "The judgment of the circuit court is affirmed, and the sentence of the law must be executed."
Sheriff J. B. Farmer proceeded to make the necessary arrangements for the execution by building a gallows and summoning the different officers and physicians as requested by law together with a sufficient guard.
In the two weeks preceding the hanging, Jacksonville was abuzz with activity. Men and boys traveled to the southern edge of town to see the gallows. Soldier-like young men paraded the streets with muskets and bayonets. Here and there men would debate the likelihood of Bramlett's eminent escape and what he would do next.
There were rumors of what Bramlett was saying to the ministers and to the sheriff and deputies. Had he made a confession? What would he do once the rope was around his neck? How many men had he murdered? Bramlett's brothers were rumored to be here in town and would surely attempt a rescue. With each rumor the security doubled and tripled. Rumors of Jacksonville being burned to the ground by the Bramlett brothers ran rampant.
Thursday before the hanging, the wagons and carriages started rolling into town. Carroll County, Ga., was represented by at least 15 wagons each loaded with 8 or 10 people. People came from all corners of the map.
Barefooted boys and girls, old men and women, large slaves with little ones following behind them, small boys on mules - sometimes as many as three on one mule. Grown men on switch tail ponies with the women walking behind them. Ox carts, horse-drawn wagons, buggies, carryalls and carriages - every imaginable type of person and form of transportation were exhibited this week.
The day of the hanging, confusion filled the streets. The tavern on the Square ran dry. People were drunk and fighting. Every split-rail fence around the Square was broken down. The National Guard was summoned to control the chaos. Nothing like this had ever happened in Jacksonville before.
At 10:30 a.m., March 5th 1858, some 50 National Guardsmen with muskets and bayonets, commanded by Captain D. P. Forney, worked their way through the crowd. Upon their arrival, the noise rose to a deafening roar as the people exclaimed, "There he is! He's coming out!"
Constable Fleming drove a four-horse drawn hearse with a coffin in the bed up to the front door of the jail. Every face of every man, woman and child up across the hill was now turned to the jail and every eye on the jail door.
After some delay Sheriff Farmer emerged with 33- year-old Larkin Bramlett in chains. He was pale and thin but seemed unusually calm. His hair was long, his face, sharp with features with thin lips and a narrow nose. He seemed quite surprised at the vast throng of spectators there to witness his execution. Walking and conversing quietly next to Bramlett was the Rev. A. E. Vandervere, who, on the journey to the gallows, would try to get a confession out of Bramlett, but would fail. Also walking with them was attending physician, Dr. M. W. Francis who was in charge of tending to Bramlett up to his final moments alive. At times, Bramlett could be seen laughing and then abruptly losing his smile. The men helped Bramlett board the hearse. When Fleming cracked the whip and the horses set forth, Bramlett was positioned, seated and chained on top of the very coffin which would forever hold his body.
The hearse departed from the jail and drove up the hill, rounded the Square and headed south on what is now Church Street for about a mile and a half near Rabbit Town Road where the gallows had been constructed in a gorge of the mountain.
Some 10,000 spectators followed the hearse to the gallows. There assembled, the throng measured almost a mile deep.
When Bramlett reached his final destination he was assisted in putting on a shroud and a pair of white gloves. His shoes were removed and replaced by a pair of socks. He then walked up the scaffold stairs to the gallows, assisted by Sheriff Farmer and a deputy.
After a brief sermon by Rev. Vandervere the sheriff set about placing the noose around the prisoner's neck. Up until this point, Larkin had remained rather stoic, but now he began to tremble all over; tears welling up in his eyes. Eyewitness accounts say it took several minutes to calm him down. The sheriff was exceptionally gentle and kind, but firm and deliberate in his handling of the ill-fated man.
Farmer tossed the rope over the scaffold's cross-beam and then bound the prisoner's arms and hands. The spectators became deathly quiet, spellbound in suspense. A hood was placed over Bramlett's head and the officials said unheard goodbyes to Bramlett and solemnly stepped away. The prop was jerked from underneath the scaffold and at 25 minutes after 1 p.m., Larkin Bramlett, enveloped in his white shroud, wearing his white gloves, left this world and a story that would be lost for 150 years.
A shutter and a murmur ran through the crowd. The excitement was long gone. There was a deep sorrowfulness in the air. The crowd turned and slowly made their way back to town. The liquor was gone but no one cared, for it was the drink which had started this mess in the first place. Mothers would use this parable to scare their husbands and sons for years to come. Rev. Vandervere later revealed that Larkin Bramlett confessed that trouble started in 1845 when he "took up the habit of intoxication."
Twenty minutes after the hanging, Dr. Frances pronounced Bramlett dead. Twenty minutes later, Sherriff Farmer cut down the corpse. The Sherriff himself, with the assistance of four or five slaves gently moved the body to the coffin. When the last nail was driven in, they loaded the coffin onto the back of the hearse and headed toward the gravesite.
Rev. Vandervere never got a confession of guilt from Bramlett. He commented six days after the hanging on the matter:
"…Were it not for so many hard sayings in his confession, censuring men of high respectability, I could, from what he said and seemed to feel, have indulged at least a hope that he was saved; but such gross inconsistency leaves me in wonder and astonishment. I visited the poor fellow often before his unhappy end; and from what I could learn, he appeared anxious to be saved, and in fact seemed to believe that God would save him; but Mr. Editor, those condemned justly, should not plead justification before God, as a ground of acceptation, but plead guilty and his mercy for Christ's sake, if they expect to be saved. I wish and pray that all may take warning by the awful end of Bramlett."
In 2011, then City Councilman, George Areno told me bits and pieces of this story. It fascinated me to the point that I began scouring issues of "The Jacksonville Republican" that the JSU Library had so graciously provided on their website. Though the scans revealed torn and missing pages, I managed to find and piece together a story that has long been lost in its detail to fact. I published notes to the web and since have been contacted by two of Bramlett's great-great-great grandchildren – one in Texas and one in Connecticut. Kudzu & Cotton strives to keep local stories alive. Whether the characters are good or bad, man or woman, black or white, they're not forgotten.

43 of 84:
Jeff Conaway, star of 'Taxi' and 'Grease,' died on May 27, 2011 at age 60 after he was taken off life support following a battle with pneumonia and sepsis in a hospital The actor was rushed to a Los Angeles-area hospital on May 11 and was put in a medically-induced coma while doctors worked to treat his ailments.
On May 26, Conaway's family decided to remove him from life support. Doctors had said the actor has had no brain function since he was hospitalized and that it had been decided that no attempts to revive him would be made after his breathing tube is removed, his spokesperson said.
It was reported that he had suffered a prescription drug overdose but Dr. Drew Pinsky, who treated the actor on his reality show 'Celebrity Rehab,' denied this.
Conaway has battled addictions to cocaine, alcohol and prescription painkillers since he was a teenager and talked about his struggles on the reality series in 2008. Conaway was also hospitalized in January 2010 after falling down a staircase in his home. He broke his hip and arm, fractured his back and suffered a brain hemorrhage.
Conaway played Kenickie, a member of the T-Birds clique and friend to John Travolta's Danny in the 1978 musical film 'Grease' and portrayed Bobby Wheeler on the television show 'Taxi,' which also starred late comedian Andy Kaufman and ran between 1978 and 1983.
In the 1990s, Conaway appeared on the sci-fi series 'Babylon 5' as Zack Allan. In recent years, he appeared in small film projects. Before his death, he was working on a thriller called 'Human Factor,' which features 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer' actress Charisma Carpenter, Eric Roberts and Sean Patrick Flanery.
Conaway was married twice - first to Rona Newton-John, sister of the actor's "Grease" co-star Olivia Newton-John, between 1980 and 1985. He married his second wife, Kerri Young, in 1990. The two later separated. The actor has no children of his own.
Conaway also performed and recorded music with Vikki Lizzi, his then-girlfriend.

text: SFA Design Hollywood Hills Home Pictures A Hollywood Hills Home Gets a Total Makeover in Just Six Weeks: See the Stunning Results by Elka Karl 5/01/12 2 Reactions 98 Shares Print 68 13 17 0 0 Six weeks is the blink of an eye when it comes to completing an interior design project, yet that was the time frame allotted for SFA Design when they redesigned a second home for the family of an international ambassador. Founder of SFA Design, Sue Firestone, told us that the quick turnaround was an absolute must. "We had a short time frame to complete the design and installation as the family was going to be visiting the states and needed a place to stay." The results are nothing short of spectacular, both inside and out. This Hollywood Hills home went from drab to elegant in a short month and a half, thanks to the expertise of SFA Design. Sue Firestone went on to note that the firm had a very specific agenda for the feel of the home. "Since this is a "vacation home" we wanted it to feel serene and calm. The grays and taupes, in their monochromatism are very peaceful but there is an added dash of elegance and glamour in the crystals, mirrors and shimmers." Keep clicking to hear more about the project and to take a peek at the gorgeous results! What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 CasaSugar: Can you tell us a bit about the use of lighter hues throughout most of the home? Sue Firestone: Although the house has a lot of windows it has a tendency to get very dark – we used lighter hues to create a calm space while still brightening it up. To be honest, before designing this house I tended to shy away from gray tones, I always felt them to be dreary, like the battleship gray that used to be so popular – now I love grays! 1 / 7 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 CS: What was the wall treatment in the dining room? How did this room come together? SF: We found this beautiful shimmery wallcovering from MDC. The client expressed a strong love for neutrals, particularly grays and taupes so we really ran with the "Shades of Gray" theme and designed each room downstairs in a different gray palette with a few taupe accents. 2 / 7 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A look at the family room, with a wallcovering from Winfield Thybony Design from the Shimmer Collection. 3 / 7 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 CS: How do you envision the desk space being used? SF: When designing a desk space I never envision a laptop – I usually go to a more romantic place, a light breeze blowing through the drapes as someone sits down to write a letter to a friend overseas. I heard about an article the other day about how people today are so into "escaping" our present, with our texts and emails, but they actually related it back to times when people would just get lost in their letter writing and sometimes have full relationships via letters. It's definitely an interesting thought – but I still feel a good old-fashioned letter is irreplaceable. Even if the space is never used for that – it still gives off that romantic, timeless vibe. CS: What color did you use in the living room? SF: This is actually a funny story, the contractor brought in four shades of gray and put them up on the wall, but the senior designer on the project, Steven Didrick, didn't like any of them… so he went out and bought 16 additional colors before finding the right one! We ended up on Benjamin Moore's Sea Pearl shade. 4 / 7 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 CS: The bedroom opens to the outdoors. How did you incorporate this feature into the design? What are your favorite pieces in this room? SF: Inspired by the outdoors and the color of the sky we brought that palette inside, with the beautiful sky blue headboard from Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams LA, and hints of "Hermes Ciel" in the lounge chair. My favorite pieces in this room are the custom nightstands – and I can't get over that headboard either, it's perfection. 6 / 7 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 CS: How did you create the vanity space? SF: The vanity was somewhat existing when the owners bought the home, however it was more of a wood-stained look that really didn't flow with the serene feeling of the rest of the house – also there was no mirror so it never had really served as an actual vanity. To make it a bit more feminine – again romanticizing the space a bit I envisioned a glamorous lady sitting down to primp for an equally glamorous evening – we lacquered the cabinetry in white and added a few accents like molding and the beautiful crystal knobs. Then we switched out the light fixtures for these chic silver leaf sconces from Visual Comfort and added the finishing touches with the perfect makeup mirror and a gorgeous velvety bench. 6 / 7 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 CS: What was your intention for the outdoor space? SF: Our goal for the entire project was to have a connection between the indoors and outdoors, having each space complement the other. With the outdoor space we wanted it to have more of a cozy, indoor feel so we created the cabana and added a chandelier and draping for a more intimate vibe, as well as a smaller seating group near the porch awning which we installed to add a bit of ambiance. 7 / 7 68 13 17 0 0 Back to Homepage Comments Read More House TourOutdoor SpacesBedroomsHome RenovationInspiration house tour No Joke: SNL's Cecily Strong Gets an Epic Apartment Makeover 12 hours ago This Is What Happens When an $18M Mansion Gets a Makeover 15 hours ago Mrs. Doubtfire Who?

Where to start? When arriving we wanted to have something to eat. We where starving. Ordered hamburgers but we couldn't eat them. They where pink! (not by lack of cocking, it was just the colour) and didn't taste anything. The day after we tried the omelette with cheese and ham. It was so dry. After that we decided to make... More

This body lotion has such a unique and feminine smell while still being extra hydrating and moisturizing! The smell lingers for awhile and I love how smooth the formula is!
I am so happy I purchased this lotion from Thymes. I have never smelled the Santal Wood before but decided to take a chance on it because of all the great reviews. The smell is amazing, light, but long-lasting. I can't wait to try another scent from Thymes when this one runs out.
This lotion is lovely! It moisturizes very well and smells incredible. I have it in two scents, and I get compliments on both. The scents are noticeable, but not overwhelming.
I love the scent of the eucalyptus, it will stay with you all day. But I do find that I need to re-apply often to feel the silkiness that is described.
wonderful texture, intoxicating scent. i love this product, makes my sensitive skin super soft. i can't wait to try other scents!
I never heard of Thymes until Birchbox gave me a few samples. I am now OBSESSED with the brand! I have bought Lotus Santal, Eucalyptus, Naia, Lavender, and more. All their fragrances are clean, and fresh and yummy smelling, which is why i keep buying them! This is a brand I am so glad to have gotten to know!! Thanks for introducing me Birchbox!!
I am in love with the Lotus Santal scent in this line. It is my favorite body lotion. Smells so nice and the lotion is very moisturizing.
I love all things feminine and this definitely fits the bill. I especially love to slather it on after a hot bath before bed. During the day....there is no need for perfume.
My mother loves the Eucalyptus scent and I ordered the Lotus Sandal for myself. The lotion covers well without leaving a super greasy feel. The scents are light enough that they're not overpowering but are definitely there. Fantastic product.
I got Kimono Rose for my mom for Christmas and it smells amazing! I'm going to order more in the other fragrances for myself.

Things I liked:The Best 2 Stage Trigger,easy cocking ,low recoil and Close to Match accuracy !
Things I would have changed:Nothing !
What others should know:Mine was Remanufactured and Looked and shot like New.You will save Money and be Happy.Everyone needs at least One HW30S Rifle !
Things I liked:Quality workmanship.
Things I would have changed:Nothing.
What others should know:Right out of the box, this air rifle was "spot on accurate" with the open sights. I made no adjustments.
Things I liked:Real Accuracy, easy to cock, good sights, light weight. Fantastic blueing and very good grained wood and I like the color just a little darker than their picture. Very comfortable to hold, cock and shoot. Real smooth like a tuned air gun. Not pellet picky.
Things I would have changed:Well it's made in Germany. But all my iron and clear front aperture sights are American sized so they will not fit. But it comes with 6 iron apertures already. If I need a larger front aperture than 3.8 I will find one that fits. I know for sure they exist. Perhaps an Anshutz.
What others should know:The accuracy is really very good as I'm shooting paper official NRA AR-4/10 5 Meter targets and I just shot a 10 shoot gruop under a dime size shooting offhand at 5 Meters indoors in my kitchen. Will go to 10M when I can go outside (it's freezing 28 deg. F). I usually scoff when people write claims like this. My other air guns are pneumatic competion air rifles: Daisy 753, Crosman Challenger 2000 and IZH Baikal MP-532. Only the MP-532 can shoot a better group and it cost me over $800 in October 2011 from Pyamid Air. I only got my HW30S yesterday and I'm using it as sighted in at the factory with a post front sight. I can swititch that to a round aperture (included with the rifle) anytime I want. Then perhaps my HW30S will outshoot even my Russian IZH MP-532. I am an extreamly pleased and happy 63 year old man. I took first place in NRA .22 smallbore competion in 1993 with my Winchester 52B (still own it) I went from unranked to first place for unranked and earned a Marksmanship medal (still have it) as a result of that single match. Just to add a little credance to my shooting opinion. BTW I have severe authritus as a result from multiple injuries and I know a healthy younger shooter could do better. Get this air rifle. I added a butt pad to make the lenght of pull 1/2" longer and that's how I shot a 95% just now. I'm working an a perfect score and I can say shooting this springer is fun. That's what it's all about for me!
I have had my HW30S since February 4, 2014. Today is Feb 15th. 2014 so I have had my new HW30S for two weeks and I have 571 shots down her barrel. I find shooting this air rifle relaxing and a pleasure and it has tought me a lot about being concise and gentil and consistant when shooting. So much so that I am now getting really small groups and high scores with my Daisy 753 and also my IZH MP-532. I do not shoot my Crosman Challanger 2000 as much because I just like self/man powered springers and pump guns. I'm even getting great groups with my old Benjamin 392PA in .22. So much so that I am going to purchase a new Benjamin 397 in .177 cal. I cannot emphasize enough how much fun it is to shoot my new HW30S and the great benifits it has done for me as a shooter.
I forgot to say that I'm shooting in the offhand standing position. I'm not bench resting or anything like that. Also please excuse my poor typing and spelling mistakes.
Just to add praise for the stock setting of the Reckord trigger. It's really good for helping with the accuracy. I also want to make a correction from my origana; post. The Crosman Challenger 2000 uses one 12 gram CO2 cylinder not pneumatic. As far as my new HW30S is concerned. It's nice to be hitting the 10 ring more than any other on a Match AR-4/10 5M NRA target. This target can be used for .177 pellet rifles as well as the .177 B-B's for which it was originally intended. I can hardly wait for it to get warm enough so that I can shot my 10 Meter (32.8 feet) NRA targets. The HW30S is on a par with my 3 Competition air firles when it comes to accuracy. However it being a springer it's easier to load and cock and importantly for me a lot more fun. I'm always smileing when zI shoot my new HW30S.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) -- Gov. Pat Quinn says he's planning to sign same-sex marriage legislation on Nov. 20 in Chicago.
The governor announced Thursday that he will sign the bill at the University of Illinois at Chicago in a 3:30 p.m. ceremony. The Legislature passed the measure Tuesday.
Quinn is a longtime same-sex marriage supporter. The Chicago Democrat says he's looking forward to signing the legislation and "celebrating a big step forward with the people of Illinois."
The University of Illinois at Chicago was recently named by Campus Pride Index as one of the top 25 campuses across the country for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender students.
The ceremony is free and open to the public.
Illinois will join 14 other states and the District of Columbia when Quinn signs the legislation.
To register for the signing ceremony of Senate Bill 10, visit www.equality.illinois.gov.

I've had these now for a couple of months and I haven't been keeping track of mileage, but a rough estimate puts me between 1000-1500 miles on these. I paid about $230 for mine, although you can get them for about $200 if you hit sales right in the states, I think you can find them at e-cyclingstore when they run 20% off for less than $200.
Mine weighed in at 176g for the pair. They're look keo compatible and I've had no issues w/ the cleats, a little more slippery than time iclics, but nothing I can't handle. I removed the rubber "plug" they have in the middle of the cleat, makes for better entry/exit.
The only issue I had was a piece of the front part of the pedal chipped off. It was replaced quickly and without issue, but I believe that was my fault. I tried them with bont shoes and the cleat bolts were too long, protruding into the shoe. So I put some washers on and it interfered w/ the pedal/cleat engagement. I had a hard time clicking out and the next day I noticed the chip. The 1000+ miles since have been trouble free. As a matter of fact, my biggest complaint is the cleat bolts are too long- I did cut some down w/ a dremel but I recently picked up a pack of 100 m5 x 8mm stainless bolts so that problem has been solved.
Ok- riding them-
Coming from time rxs for 2 years and then 1-2 years of time iclics, I like the engagement on these a lot better. You can tell when you're in, and it only took a couple of rides to master getting clicked in. I don't notice much difference in platform. Compared to the time cleats, these are not as long, but the time cleats have those raised areas for walking. I also like being able to pick up extra cleats for less than $10.
To be honest, other than the engagement, I haven't noticed much difference. They spin nice and smooth, with the rxs titanium axle my right pedal developed play and an annoying clicking noise after about 1000 miles. Nothing yet w/ the exustar pedal. Aesthetically, I like these more, as the iclic titanium pedal had red parts on it that I'd prefer not to have. The all black w/ white lettering on the exustar is much nicer to me.
The only other thing is how the pedal "sits" when not engaged- you'll notice it in the pic w/ my super-duper-awesome-vumaquads w/ fibrelyte rings- they tend to hang vertical- this hasn't been an issue for me getting back into the pedal.
I did notice exustar is using bushings, but the pedal is easily serviceable- the tools they have available cost between $4 and $10.
At 176g for the pair, compared to the 185g for the iclic titan and rxs titan, you can't beat the price. Replacement cleats are cheaper as well, as I picked up 2 sets of a "lower model" for about $30 each from PBK for my beater bike and my computrainer bike. $30 for a 226g set of pedals is pretty incredible!

Valpo has Six Athletes Named All Mid-Con in Indoor Track and Field
Tuesday, March 04, 2003Six athletes on the Valparaiso University men's track and field team were named to the All Mid-Continent Conference Team for the indoor season following their performances at the weekend's conference championships.
Nate Nunnelly (Valparaiso, Ind./Valparaiso H.S.) was the champion in the mile, winning the race by nearly a full second with a time of 4:18.69. He also finished in third place in the 800m run, crossing the finish line in 1:56.39.
Aaron Crague (Schererville, Ind./Lake Central H.S.) also was crowned conference champion at the meet. The fifth-year senior won the 3,000m run by two seconds with a time of 8:38.21.

Joshua Lee (Yellow Jacket, Colo./Montezuma-Cortez H.S.) also garnered Mid-Con accolades after finishing in third place in the long jump. The sophomore's best leap was 21'10 1/4".
Kyle Jones (Valparaiso, Ind./Valparaiso H.S.), Jed Reisetter (Lewiston, Minn./Lewiston-Altura H.S.), and Dennis Kabara (Chuka, Kenya/Meru H.S.) joined Nunnelly on the runner-up distance medley relay, crossing the line in 10:33.84, just two seconds out of the top spot.

The Membership Office
1993-94 Annual Report
Melanie Jansen
It has been a busy and enjoyable year for membership programming. In addition to the Wednesday evening lecture series, we co-sponsored two events with outside organizations: in February UC2MC (the University of Chicago alumni group) joined us for a lecture and gallery walk by Professor Thomas Brochu-Mudloff, an Egyptology graduate of the Oriental Institute, and in April, we cooperated with Earthwatch to bring Professor Philip Kohl, of Wellesley College, to the Institute to speak on "Armenian Origins." Both events were very successful, bringing in many new people to the Institute. We plan on more joint ventures in the coming year.
The Membership Office also held several other events that were "out-of-the-ordinary"; the first, and certainly the most dramatic, was the James Henry Breasted Society dinner on November 11, 1993. This festive event, which launched the Oriental Institute Legacy Campaign, took place in the Research Archives, which was transformed by striking floral and foliage decorations, balloons, and special effects lighting. University of Chicago President Hugo Sonnenschein and his wife, Beth, were the guests of honor.
We were very pleased to have Thomas H. Loy of Australian National University in Canberra with us on December 2 at the University Club in the Loop. Professor Loy, who has done work on the celebrated "Iceman" and with Robert and Linda Braidwood, gave a fascinating lecture to over one hundred people on "The Molecular Time Machine: Tracing DNA in Ancient Artifacts." Afterwards, members of the James Henry Breasted Society joined Professor Loy for dinner and discussion of his work.
On January 23 Associate Professor Martha Roth, Assistant Editor of the Chicago Assyrian Dictionary, spoke to the Graduate School of Business Women's Business Group. That same day at the Field Museum, Registrar Raymond D. Tindel, an expert on South Arabia, gave a brief talk about Yemen to a group of members and then took them through the photograph exhibit, "Yemeni Architecture: A Culture of Builders." On March 31 some eighty Associate members gathered at the University Club in the Loop for dinner with T. G. Harry James, Former Keeper of Western Asiatic Antiquities at the British Museum. Mr. James delighted the audience with tales of James Henry Breasted, Howard Carter, and the quest for antiquities in Egypt in the first decades of this century. And, in April, James Henry Breasted Society members Barbara and Philip Rollhaus hosted a Society reception featuring Assistant Curator Emily Teeter, who spoke about the recent recovery of the Medinet Habu notebooks.
February, March, and April initiated a new series: Associates' Teas, behind-the-scenes tours of the Oriental Institute on Sunday afternoons. Conservators Laura D'Alessandro and Barbara Hamann, Head of the Computer Laboratory John Sanders, and Registrar Raymond D. Tindel took turns showing various, non-public aspects of the museum to Associate members. Each tour was followed by tea and a buffet provided by docent Mary Jo Khuri in the Director's Study.
In May the Annual Dinner celebrated the excavations at Aqaba. Research Associate Donald Whitcomb, Director of the Aqaba Project, spoke to almost two hundred members and friends about the history of Aqaba and Islamic archaeology at the Oriental Institute. On the 31st, "Sports and Games in the Ancient Near East," curated by Assistant Curator Emily Teeter, opened with a members' reception and a chance to talk with Dr. Teeter and others involved with the exhibit.
The Membership Office was also pleased to help with two very special birthday parties for members of the James Henry Breasted Society: one for long-time Society member Petra Blix in July 1993 (arranged by her husband, Dr. Benjamin Gruber), and one for John Ansehl in April 1994 (arranged by Timothy G. A. Sohlberg, one of our newest James Henry Breasted Society members).
The Wednesday evening lecture series saw a fine cast of lecturers this past year. K. Asl1han Yener, the newest faculty member in the Oriental Institute and Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations, presented the opening lecture in October. She spoke about the excavation at Göltepe, in the central Taurus Mountains of Turkey. In November Carol Meyer, former artist with the Epigraphic Survey, gave an update on the Bir Umm Fawakhir project in the Eastern Desert of Egypt. December saw the first of the Archaeological Institute of America co-sponsored lectures, featuring Mary Voight of the College of William and Mary, who spoke on the recent excavations at Gordion, Turkey. In January Gocha R. Tsetskhladze, of Balliol College, Oxford, talked about "International Relations in the Ancient World: Colchis and the Achaemenid Empire"; in February another distinguished scholar from England, Dorothy J. Thompson of Girton College, Cambridge, spoke on "Mummification on the Ptolemaic Necropolis of Memphis."
In March there were two lectures, the first by Heather Lechtman of the M.I.T. Center for Materials Research in Archaeology and Ethnology. Dr. Lechtman gave a talk on Andean prehistoric metallurgy and the culture of technology. The second lecture was by Research Associate Donald Whitcomb, who updated the Institute on the recent excavations at Aqaba. In April, Karla Kroeper from the Egyptian Museum in Berlin visited the Institute to give the last lecture in the series, "A Step Out of the Darkness: the Delta at the Beginning of Pharaonic Egypt."
This year's Travel Program included the first of a new series of museum weekends, which feature Near Eastern collections in cities around the country. The first trip, "Egypt in New York," led by Emily Teeter, was successful despite the very uncooperative weather in February. The Oman/Yemen/Bahrain trip in January, also led by Emily Teeter, was a great success. However, the trip to Jordan and Israel, scheduled for May 1994 and to be led by graduate student Timothy Harrison, was canceled because of the volatile political situation in Israel. There are several other trips scheduled for the forthcoming year, including a museum study tour to Paris and Berlin in November 1994, to be led by Curator Karen L. Wilson; a trip to Egypt in March 1995, to be led by Archivist John Larson; and a cruise to Egypt, Israel, and Jordan in November 1995. A museum weekend, "Egypt in Boston," is slated for October 21-23, 1994, and will be led by John Larson as well. Other trips to Syria and Turkey are in the planning stages.
The Membership Office has profited greatly in the past year by close interaction with the following people: Thomas Urban in the Publications Office, who keeps News & Notes and the Annual Report on schedule and impeccably produced; Kaylin Goldstein in the Education Office, who serves as a design consultant and photographer for events; and Emily Teeter in the Museum, who gives generously of her time and expertise to the Travel Program. Many thanks also to our volunteers Charlotte Collier, who happily and graciously makes telephone calls, stuffs envelopes, and does other meaningful work; and Mary Jo Khuri, who helps with catering and development research.
Remember, the door to the Membership Office is always open; we encourage members to come to room 233 and share their thoughts and ideas with us whenever they are at the Institute.

Jim Rutherford has hinted that this could be his final season as general manager of the Carolina Hurricanes. If so, he leaves behind a mixed bag of on-ice results and a legacy as the father to Triangle hockey.
All 28 (2 are brand new) General Managers broken out by points and win percentage
Just two men account for over 1/3 of the league
Some surprising teams did well for themselves and some short-handed teams sit and wait.
The Canes continue their winning ways, and the Jets continue to push through. Meanwhile, both the Caps and Lightning struggle to find consistency and confidence to give them traction in the standings. Florida's injury woes continued.
From blog editor Brian LeBlanc: how's Kirk Muller doing, whether Semin is a keeper, and why Justin Faulk is good at hockey.
With three of the teams on the road all week, the Lightning have lost 3 straight but still hang on to the top spot in the Division, while the Canes move into second with three gutsy performances from Cam Ward.
Not one player has had a better career since the 2003 NHL Entry Draft than Eric Staal, the franchise centre for the Carolina Hurricanes. So why exactly is he ranked 5th in terms of value in our 2003 NHL Re-Draft?
Canes Casino; Panthers caged; Caps back in it; and Jets Beer. The week that was in the Southeast.
The Cats are in desperate need of scoring as the deadline approaches, but possible suitors are not easy to come by.

May Sketch Group at Maria Montessori School
6 minutes ago
Beautiful drawings.
Better then a rock concert!
Makes me want to paint a chicken too :)
Nice chickens!
I thought chickens originated in India, it's strange that English also created the world known andalusian chicken, known in the world for his "blue" feathers, quite different from the andalusian spanish chicken, bigger size, and can be black, white, grey, dirty white, silver, orange, morucha, franciscan.
Excellent sketches, you remind to the ancient Chinese masters, the way you combine ink with colors.
I looove these! Each one has its own personality, or duckality more likely.
Fantastic sketches - those crazy hairdos made me laugh out loud! I love chickens.
Superb portraits of chicken and a duck! They have dignity.

"I was watching the Tony Danza show a few days ago and one of his guests was Carol Burnett. Watching the old clips from her 70's show really made me want them on DVD so I decided to purchase this set. To my amazement, I found that they were very comprehensive for the really cheap price. A very good buy!!"

"Miss the times when sex on TV was implied instead of explicit. Carol had sex on her show but you never had to worry about watching it in your face or what the kids were going to see next. Well done, Carol. "

"It brought back memories of when I watched Carol's show each week and laughed and laughed! I had forgotten. I am so glad I ordered this. "

Quickie foreclosure bill passes in Florida House 94-17by Kim Miller
The Florida House easily passed a bill designed to jumpstart Florida's stalled foreclosure system on Wednesday in a 94-17 vote.
The approval sends the plan (HB 213) to the Senate where nearly matching legislation (SB 1890) passed its last committee on Monday. The Senate can either pick up the House bill, or consider its own version and send that to the House.
Lawmakers have until the last day of session on March 9 to consider the proposal _ the first foreclosure-related plan to make it through the legislative committee process since the housing crash.
The bill is aimed at speeding foreclosures on abandoned and vacant properties, while also allowing any lien holder, such as a community association, to request an expedited hearing.
But homeowner advocates oppose the plan because they fear borrowers will get caught in a quickie foreclosure system that won't give them time to defend against a bank repossession.
"If a homeowner has defenses, there is no guarantee they will get to share them with the court," said Alice Vickers, an attorney with the Florida Consumer Action Network, during Monday's Senate committee meeting. "They've had no opportunity to engage in discovery or to have a meaningful hearing."
As of earlier this week, banks had taken no stance on the legislation, but disliked at least one section that reduced the amount of time a lender could seek a deficiency judgment from five years to one year, said Anthony DiMarco, executive vice president of government affairs for the Florida Bankers Association.
Rep. Greg Steube, R-Sarasota, who co-sponsored the bill, said he wasn't surprised by the overwhelming approval because many Democratic members thanked him for working with them on concerns they had about the bill.
"Clearly there is a need in our state to move the foreclosure process forward," Steube said. "I think everyone recognized that and that something needs to be done to address it."

AUSTIN -- With millions of Texans hitting the road this Thanksgiving holiday, Texas Department of Public Safety officials want to make sure drivers keep the roads safe.
"Putting safety first increases your chances of arriving at your Thanksgiving destination safe and sound," said DPS Director Steven McCraw. "Holiday travel can provide challenges, such as drunk drivers on the roads, added distractions, people rushing to destinations and fatigued driving. These are all factors that could lead to tragedy on the roadways, so we encourage everyone to drive responsibly during the holiday season."
Here are some tips you can use for safe travels this holiday weekend:
- Don't drink and drive
- Don't text and drive and eliminate distractions
- Buckle up
- Slow down (especially in bad weather, construction zones and traffic)
- Move over or slow down for emergency vehicles with lights flashing
- Don't drive while you are tired
- Keep your defenses up while driving (be aware of other people on the road)
- Make sure your car or vehicle is maintained properly before you take off
DPS troopers will be out in full force on Texas roads. Last year they arrested 393 people for driving while intoxicated. They issued more than 7,400 speeding tickets and more than 900 safety restraint citations.

Bottomfish Identification: Rockfish
Widow Rockfish
Sebastes entomelas
Caught off the Washington coast by commercial harvesters using otter-trawls and longline gear. Occasionally caught by recreational harvesters off the Washington coast. Recreational harvest within Puget Sound has been closed. See the Sportfishing Regulation Pamphlet.
Description: The body of the widow rockfish is elongate and compressed with reduced head spines. The head is relatively short, with a lower jaw that projects slightly and a relatively small mouth. Underwater adults are various shade of brown to orange and get lighter ventrally. Some have dusky patches or saddles that are not apparent after capture. The fin membranes, particularly in the anal and pectoral fins, are black. The caudal peduncle is narrow and the anal fin has a strong posterior slant. Individuals smaller than 10 inches in length are lighter in color and are tinged with vague streaks of orange.
Maximum Size: To 59 cm (23.6 in) in length.
Maximum Age: At least 60 years old.
Range/Habitat: Widow rockfish range from the Middle Albatross Bank off Kodiak Island, Alaska, to Todos Santos Bay, Baja California. Adults have been captured at water depths between 24 and 549 m (80-1,812 ft), although they are most commonly found from 140 to 210 m (462-693 ft). This species can be found well above the bottom over boulders or other high-relief bottoms. Off the Washington and Oregon coasts fish disperse into small schools during the day, well above the bottom, then form dense schools near the bottom during the night.

GF Teen Injured in Crash Transferred to Denver For RehabDENVER (WDAZ-TV) - The Grand Forks teenager injured in a motorcycle crash has been transferred to a hospital in Denver for rehabilitation.
By: WDAZ Staff Report, WDAZ
DENVER (WDAZ-TV) - The Grand Forks teenager injured in a motorcycle crash has been transferred to a hospital in Denver for rehabilitation.
18-year-old Ben Johnson suffered a severed spinal column in the accident on Wednesday, October 19.
According to a CaringBridge site, Johnson and his family arrived at Craig Hospital on Thursday.
He was earlier transferred to a Minneapolis hospital from Grand Forks.
Johnson will undergo tests on Friday to help the medical team learn more about his condition.
His transfer had been delayed after doctors found a small pocket of air outside his lungs, but a CT scan showed that it vanished, clearing him for travel.
Johnson is the son of Grand Forks Freedom Church pastor Nathan Johnson.
Police say Ben was driving his 2005 Suzuki RT south on Evergreen Drive when he went up over the curb, hit a mailbox and was thrown from the vehicle.
The head neurosurgeon at HCMC, who performed an earlier surgery, said that Johnson's spinal cord injury was about 1/4 inch from his aorta. The doctor said that most times when the spinal cord takes such a severe blow, the aorta is ruptured, resulting in immediate death.

GIS Day
What is GIS Day?
GIS Day is a grassroots event that formalizes the practice of geographic information systems (GIS) users and vendors of opening their doors to schools, businesses, and the general public to showcase real-world applications of this important technology. GIS Day is held each year on the Wednesday during National Geography Week. The National Geographic Society has sponsored Geography Awareness Week since 1987 to promote geographic literacy in schools, communities, and organizations, with a focus on the education of children.
Each year, GIS Day is celebrated in over 73 countries around the world! Through the combined efforts of GIS Day participants, millions of children and adults are educated on GIS technology through geography.
Each year Goodhue County GIS Department organizes events to celebrate GIS Day and to show how GIS has been used throughout the county. In past years, GIS staff has visited with students from Kenyon/Wanamingo High School, Lake City High School, Red Wing High School, Twin Bluff Middle School, and Wastedo School. The students learned about GIS and the importance of learning geography. The students also were shown the Goodhue County online GIS mapping site and Google Earth as examples of GIS technology! Each year, GIS staff plans different activities for GIS Day.

Congratulations are due to the new president of France: Francois Hollande finished off Nicolas Sarkozy on Sunday with a few percentage points to spare. Congratulations of another sort are due to Syriza, also known as the Coalition of the Radical Left, a party that made major gains in Sunday's Greek parliamentary elections, as well as Golden Dawn, a party whose symbol looks like a swastika and whose candidates earned enough votes to enter the Greek Parliament for the first time. Further congratulations perhaps ought to be sent to the Dutch politician Geert Wilders, whose decision to withdraw the support of his anti-Europe, anti-immigration party from the ruling coalition brought down the Dutch government a few days ago.
Another week, another European government falls by the wayside — and in each recent case the center was defeated by the extremes, or by what used to be the extremes before they crept into the mainstream. The Greek center-left and the Greek center-right were pummeled by outliers on both sides of the political spectrum. In the Netherlands, the machinations of an upstart party forced the centrists out of power, too.

How DJs Can Take Advantage Of YouTube Converters
In today's day and age, everything can be found on YouTube. If you decide to search for a song on Google, there is a good chance that one of the first three search results will include a YouTube video. It is, without a doubt, the most popular way to share and discover new music from every genre out there. There is no need to constrain yourself to only listening to music while online. By using a YouTube to MP3 converter, you can download as much music as you want and have it on your PC for use at any time. You can take your music from your house to the weekend party. This will keep the party exciting and fresh.
It is really easy to use an online video converter too. If you choose to download a software program, you just download the program, install and insert the link to the video. Next, click the convert button and start building your music library in no time. Websites offer the same convenience as well and there is no need to download any software. The only catch is that if the site is down, you have no way to convert the files. Now there is no need to purchase full length albums just to hear one or two songs that you like.
On occasion, a DJ will be working a gig and receive a request for a song that they do not have in their music collection. With a YouTube to MP3 converter, they can quickly and easily get the song the person wants to hear and play it for them. Essentially, this makes their music library limitless, which is extremely beneficial for their profession.
Perhaps the biggest benefit to using a YouTube to MP3 converter is the fact that the service is free. While it is true that individual songs are highly affordable, they do add up rather quickly – especially if you are a DJ. Instead, you can go easy on your wallet and make use of a YouTube converter to get the same music. This will also allow you to play a wide variety of music so that the party stays alive all night long.
YouTube to MP3 converters also make it very easy to find the music that you are looking for. In some cases, you may find a song that you really love but are unable to find anywhere else. Even if you wanted to purchase it, you simply cannot find it outside of YouTube. This is common with remixes and mash-ups, which are ideal for DJs. Instead of searching for hours on end to no avail, use a converter to grab the songs you love.
Many DJs may be concerned about the quality of the music from these converters. It is important to remember that if the audio quality on the website is poor to begin with, it will still be poor after the conversion. Therefore, it is important to choose a video that is already of high quality.
