One of the limbs on my bow separated last weekend. Do any of you guys know of someone close to Desoto county that does warranty work on a Matthews bow? I bought it in Grenada and that is even where it broke, but I guess I was too ticked to think about dropping it off at Lakeway on the way home. I was just hoping there was another dealer someplace a little closer. I'M YOUR HUCKLEBERRY. Desoto Rifle & Pistol Club NRA LIFE MEMBER

I finally got a chance to give the photography muscles a workout on a short trip to central / south Florida. This white morph Reddish Egret was very active at Ft. DeSoto early in the morning on November 18th. This was about the sixth image of the day and one of many taken of this entertaining and very beautiful bird. This is not a full frame image and I do have room for a landscape crop...any opinions on which might be more effective? Comments and critique are most welcome and appreciated! handh...

I've been thinking about reworking a gas strut (shock absorber) to use as the hot head of an air-only engine. Instead of a thermal or pressure activated valve, I think I may try setting up a mechanical trip at two points of the piston's travel - one to open a gate valve between the hot head and the cold head, and the second to close it. I'...

On Tue, 25 Nov 2008 06:40:04 -0600, Morris Dovey <mrdovey@iedu.com Yes this follows from Pi * Vi / Ti = n * R = Pf * Vf / Tf (Things equal to the same thing are equal to each other, yes?) In practice, the air won't expand to the maximum calculated volume - nor will it contract to the minimum calculated volume... ...and Pi can't equal Pf in an engine that'll actually run (think about it a bit and you'll see why).

Whilst I'm aware of the short notice and time frame to work with, could you please help with Gregory Wright. Greg was convicted of murder in the 1997 stabbing death of Donna Duncan Vick in Desoto, TX. During his time on Polunsky's death row, Greg has proved to be a model prisoner and undergone study and been awarded a diploma as a Legal Assistant/Paralegal. Greg was given an execution date of September 9th 2008 which was stayed until October 30th 2008 pending further DNA testing. On October 28th...

(edited to add pictures and lessons learned links to other posts 10/17/2008 ) (edited to add post-race revelations 10/17/2008 ) The usual disclaimer: This is so utterly long, you’ll go senseless. But if I wrote a short one, you’ll give me an F and will ask me to write it again. Anyway, full of trivial details including some of the thoughts that were percolating in my head at different times. If you can’t follow my train of thought, just ascribe it to gibberish. I’m not myself yet. This whole thi...

EURO 2008: “We overcame and endured against all odds” http://www.davidduke.com/general/eur...odds_5579.html Euphoric conference held against all odds! By James Edwards I just experienced one of the most remarkable weeks of my life, of that there is no doubt. It was a week in which I went through the entire spectrum of emotions; a week that ultimately left me exhausted and full of hope. What you’ll read below will both shock and inspire you. I hope you’ll take the time to digest the entire articl...

Here it is BB, the results of the latest Interdorm Competition: The "Monster" Buffy Quiz! For those of you who don't know, the prefects at BB put together a quiz of 144 Mind-Boggling Questions: one for each episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The Quiz was set up much like an episode guide: each season was split into its own section and the questions in each season were numbered corresponding to the episode number (ie: Episode #2 of Season 1 is "The Harvet": Question #2 in Season 1 is about "The...
