Hi I am a 3rd time Mama and I am looking for advice on our next carseat. My daughter is 8 months old and fast growing out of her Keyfit 30. I want a seat that she can rearface until 2 or longer, and be in a harness for the longest amount of time. My older two kids were both in higher weight harness 5 pts until they were much older. My son is 6 and still rides in one. I want her to be able to use the same seat as well and stay harnessed as long as possible! My daughter was harnessed until she was 8.
We used a Marathon (the classic) with my son when he was little and loved it, but he wasn't able to use it much passed 4 due to his height. My kids are all tall and fall into the 90-100% in height.
I drive a 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan and would need a seat that fits in it.
I have been looking at this seat, but I have never used one before and I don't know if this is going to be a good choice for what I want.
Or there are multiple Britax seats now to choose from. Please advice?

More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Seeing the thank you notes from clients that literally describe a life saved, dignity restored, a functioning family, emergency assistance provided and emotionally healthy, hopeful views of the future. Also, the experience had by the thousands of volunteers and the board members is eye-opening, meaningful and heartwarming. Love when I meet someone who always seems to have a glowing report on how JFS has helped their child, friend, sister, grandparent, neighbor, etc... and what a big fan they are!!
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
This organization is limited only by funds. JFS has the desire and ability to provide high quality, professional services to the community with very low overhead. JFS is one of only 2 social service agencies in North Texas to receive accrediation from the Council on Accrediation (all program areas).
Will you volunteer or donate to this organization beyond what is required of board members?
How much of an impact do you think this organization has?
Will you tell others about this organization?
How did you learn about this organization?
JFS has a long history of service in the community (60+ years). They assisted my grandmother with Meals on Wheels, LifeLine (the "I've fallen and can't get up" program), friendly visitors, and mental health services when she lost a child to illness.
What is this organization's top short-term priority?
Secure funding to address wait lists.
What is its top priority in the long run?
Expand services to meet growing demands by the whole community for the continuum of services, especially in areas that have needs unmet or underserved by other organizations.

Americans visiting Communist Cuba are often surprised to notice that they are not followed by plainclothes police officers spying on their every move or restricted in their travel.
The dozen members of St. Augustine/Baracoa Friendship Association are freshly returned from a week in Baracoa, Cuba, and say their first official visit as an organization was solely to build cultural ties with that city and its people.
Cuba is still under a trade and travel embargo by the U.S. government, but our state department doesn't discourage cultural ties between the people of both nations.
The association is proud that it had successfully completed its first mission -- delivering needed medical supplies, establishing connections with churches in Baracoa, and founding a group to begin preservation of crumbling historic structures there.
The travelers also were delighted at their warm reception by all the Cubans they met.
Ron Dixon, a St. Augustine dentist, said the visit proves the association can work with the people of Baracoa and do ''Sister City-type things.''
Last year, there was heated criticism from Cuban Americans living in St. Johns County at the association's proposal to create a Sister City relationship between St. Augustine and Baracoa. The Cubans said any relationship with dictator Fidel Castro's repressive and murderous government would be unseemly.
Thousands of Cubans were executed by Castro after he gained power in 1961 and became a Communist, and thousands more were imprisoned.

Special to The Record
Hundreds of thousands of Cuba's best minds left the country, seeking freedom.
But the association says this trip was not political. They were divided into committees: medical, cultural, religious and historical, each with a job to do and connections to establish.
For example, Dixon and orthodontist Rebecca Faunce of St. Augustine delivered donated dental tools, medicine, bandages and other supplies and presented lectures on dental science and patient management to doctors in Baracoa.
Dixon said the area was still ''incredibly undeveloped. We didn't go down there to lounge around. I've been there quite a few times, but every single day there, I see something that amazes me,'' he said.
Faunce said she will never forget how the group was welcomed.
''The community brought us into their homes and to its social events. There was never any suspicion,'' she said.
Former St. Augustine Mayor Len Weeks, who went on the trip accompanied with his wife, Kristy, said he held meetings with the director of the historical preservation society there.
''What they want, and need, is to document the existing historical structures there before they get torn down, or before they are remodeled,'' Weeks said, saying the Baracoans need film and cameras to take those pictures.
He said the city also has no historical records available.
''Most of their records are in Havana, 600 miles away on a long, hard road. What we've done is get several historians here to work with me to put together a group to study the structures and monuments there,'' he said.
Association member Marcia Willis, who was born in Cuba and returned after 40 years in the U.S., visited the aging Catholic cathedral in Baracoa, the Western Hemisphere's oldest church, because it was founded in 1492.
Willis said the church is beautiful, and contains the original cross of Christopher Columbus.
''However, it's in terrible condition,'' she said. ''They need to repair the roof, which is full of termites, but that alone will cost $200,000. The amazing thing about this journey of discovery is that we learned that Cubans love the American people. But they do distrust the government of this country, because the embargo has hurt them.''
Ken Forrester, a member of Trinity Episcopal Church in St. Augustine, said he had a chance to meet with the Episcopal bishop of Cuba and a priest at what he hopes will be a companion church in Matanzas, Cuba, which is near Baracoa.
He said, ''We went to a home-church service, where they clear away the furniture in a home and hold a service. They gave us some gifts to bring back to Trinity. On our part, we pledged to send two young men to a four-year seminary, and we'll send six or seven young people here to work for a week or two.''
Forrester said he expected to see oppression, but didn't.
''I saw no one held back from speaking their mind or being friendly. We were free to come and go at any time,'' he said.
But association member Yolanda Garcia-Fernandez, a native of Argentina, said she detected some fear that people would say the wrong thing by the way they phrased their words.
''I went on this trip to find out for myself what the controversy was about,'' she said. ''It's not a capitalist society. The government keeps the level of business success low. Everything is government run. If you speak against Castro, you get thrown in jail.''
Association members said Cuba is easing previously repressive laws. For example, in 1992, someone could get two years in prison for being caught with an American dollar. Now American money is accepted all over Cuba.
According to association member Lucio Rubino, a musician, some of their more enjoyable evenings in Baracoa were spent jamming with Cuban musicians. Once an impromptu concert began in a hotel lobby, another was at a cultural center.
''Culture is promoted more there,'' Rubino said. ''I just took out my guitar and people would smile.''
As part of the educational committee, he met with a secondary school principal to develop a pen pal exchange between students in Cuba and the U.S.
Manuel Rey of St. Augustine, born in Cuba, left there in 1958 and visited only once since then, in 1979. Rey said he found a cousin in Havana that he had not ever met.
''It was a friendly homecoming, a wonderful experience,'' he said, adding that Cuban Americans from Miami are going to Cuba all the time, taking large packages in the name of humanitarian assistance.
The criticism that they are helping the Castro regime strikes association members the hardest.
Garcia-Fernandez said it in the most succinct way: ''We're not helping Castro. We're helping the people.''

text: 739 FXUS63 KAPX 292324 AFDAPX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Gaylord MI 724 PM EDT FRI JUL 29 2016 .SHORT TERM...(This evening and overnight) Issued at 301 PM EDT Fri Jul 29 2016 High impact weather: None Main concerns: Decoupling of wind tonight/low temperatures and rain chances south. Broad upper-level trough and surface high pressure will continue to dominate northern Michigan`s weather through the remaining evening and overnight hours. Diurnal cumulus will diminish after sunset, while the stratocumulus and altocumulus associated with the deeper moisture at the base of said upper-level trough will persist, although rain chances are looking rather minuscule as low-level moisture and synoptic support is farther south. The pressure gradient over northern Michigan should slack enough to allow decoupling of the winds after sunset, allowing radiational cooling to drop temperatures into the low 50s and possibly even some upper 40s over eastern upper and northeastern lower, especially the interior portions away from the Great Lakes. If the winds do not decouple as forecast, the overnight lows will of course need to be raised a good 5 degrees...at least. .LONG TERM...(Saturday through Monday) Issued at 301 PM EDT Fri Jul 29 2016 IMPACTS: Minimal PATTERN SYNOPSIS/EXPECTED EVOLUTION: (Saturday through Monday) Saturday morning, generally zonal flow setup over the CONUS with subtle height rises evident out west and height falls to the east digging into the Tennessee Valley. A pair of cut off lows currently visible on water vapor imagery will begin to move inland Saturday morning as well, with the eastern most feature just getting over British Columbia. Height rises will build eastward through the period, amplified ahead of the cutoff lows moving through Canada. The leading edge of the height rises should get to Michigan Monday, continuing to build through mid-week. At the surface, we will remain on the southern side of high pressure setup over Canada, which will begin to shift to the east as the height rises build in Monday. MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGES/CONCERNS: Northern extent of deeper moisture, influencing clouds and rain chances. ASSOCIATED WEATHER: Fairly quiet weekend for most. Saturday...With some deeper moisture lingering around the southern portion of the CWA, skies will be cloudy south of M-72 with some isolated light rain not out of the question. Sunshine will be more prevalent as you go north of M-72, as high pressure over Canada helps to keep the moisture south. Temperatures will be near seasonal values. Sunday...With generally light easterly flow, expect lake breeze development off Lake Michigan during the afternoon Sunday. The question is going to be if there will be enough moisture available to support any shower development along the lake breeze. Current thinking is that the moisture availability will be a bit lacking. If there is an uptick in moisture availability; however, some showers could get going. Will continue to hold off adding pops for now, and re-evaluate tomorrow. Temperatures will warm a bit as the ridge starts to build in from the west, but will remain within a few degrees of normal. Monday...Height rises continue to work into the region, leading to plenty of sunshine. Temperatures will be a few degrees above normal, but this will be the start of a warming trend through at least mid- week as the height rises continue to build ahead of the cutoff lows moving through Canada. ALM Extended (Tuesday through Friday) Issued at 300 PM EST FRI Jul 29 2016 Still anticipating the beginning of the week to start off dry as a high pressure to the east in Ontario will create a dry NE flow. Rain chances will increase later in the week towards Thursday into Friday as a cold front pushes into the Great Lakes. Temperatures look to break into the upper 80s and near 90 for Wednesday and Thursday with humidity increasing as well. The models have come to an agreement that the passing of the cold front will be Friday afternoon rather than Thursday that was shown in earlier model runs. This keeps the highs warmer later into the week. MG && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Saturday evening) Issued at 724 PM EDT Fri Jul 29 2016 ...VFR conditions continue... High pressure and wedge of dry air across northern Michigan will maintain VFR conditions at the terminal sites through Saturday. Weak, slow moving area of low pressure in the lower lakes region may push some cloud cover (mid and high cloud variety) just into northern lower Michigan through Saturday, with periodic showers and thunderstorms across southern lower Michigan. But overall dry weather anticipated this far north. Winds will go light/calm tonight and increase from the east to up to 10 knots on Saturday. && .MARINE... Issued at 301 PM EDT Fri Jul 29 2016 A rather benign weather pattern for mariners will continue for the next several days as winds will subside throughout the evening and then persist throughout the period. There will be an extended period of waves a foot or less, pretty much Saturday through at least Wednesday. The best chance for showers and thunderstorms will be next Thursday ahead of a developing low pressure system, although a stray shower here or there is not out of the question tomorrow through Sunday south of Presque Isle as a trough of upper-level pressure continues it`s push south and eastward. && .APX Watches/Warnings/Advisories...

Gore Canyon is the Ultimate Class 4+ to 5- river rafting section in the state of Colorado. We at Timberline Tours are excited to share this thrilling adventure with you. Timberline Tours was the first company to start running this stretch of the Colorado River commercially in the early 1990's. Many of these pioneering guides are still employed by Timberline today and provide unrivaled experience in Rafting Gore Canyon.
Once you've entered the canyon there are five miles of intense whitewater rapids, several rapids with technical drops, one 12 foot waterfall and several challenging maneuvers. There are two Class V rapids that may or may not be run based on guides' discretion and water level. Extensive paddling skills and river safety will be taught during the trip. When Rafting Gore Canyon, participants should have no medical conditions which may inhibit or be affected by participation in physical activity. Portaging and scouting over steep and uneven terrain may be required.
River trips of this nature require you to be agile and physically able to move and paddle aggressively. While you need not be an athlete to participate, good endurance and physical condition are naturally required. Gore Canyon rafters typically jog, play tennis, ski, swim, do aerobics, bicycle, backpack, etc. on a regular basis in order to maintain their good physical condition. In other words, exercise is a regular part of their overall lifestyle.
Safety is our first concern at Timberline Tours, and it should be yours too. Therefore, we have developed some guidelines and a questionnaire for you to consider when determining whether this trip is the right trip for you.
General guidelines to the physical and mental fitness required for participation in Class 4+ to 5- Gore Canyon rafting trip:
-Can you do one pull up, 10 push ups, 10 sit ups?
-Can you run a mile?
-Can you swim 10 laps?
-Is exercise a regular part of your lifestyle?
-Do you have experience in Class III-IV rafting or similar action sport?
-Do you have good ability to follow instructions?
-Are you considerably overweight (20+ lbs.)?
-Max 250 lbs due to limits of Life Vests.
Questions to ask before booking a Gore Canyon Trip:
I'm not sure if Gore Canyon is for me – what are the most important factors to consider?
We suggest you think about three things…
1. Do you want to go or is someone in your group pushing you to be a part of this trip?
2. Are you personally reasonably physically fit?
3. Can you follow instructions, be an active part of a team?
These are the crews we want to take on Gore Canyon trips.
FAQ's about Gore Canyon:
Why are Gore Canyon trips more expensive?
Gore Canyon trips are very resource intensive, requiring our most experienced guides and a safety kayaker. The guest/guide ratio is 4 or 5 to 1. Wetsuit, paddle jacket, helmet, river shoes (if you don't have your own), snack and lunch are included.
How much experience does Timberline Tours have on Gore Canyon?
Timberline Tours pioneered this stretch of river in the early 1990's. Many of the guides that work for us today have done over 250 plus commercial trips on this river. Our Gore Canyon guides also include several members of the 8 time US NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP RAFTING TEAM. These guys are the best. Timberline Tours has been in business since 1971 providing five star raft and jeep trips for their customers. There is no substitute for experience.
As you contemplate a Gore Canyon trip with Timberline it is imperative that you realize that this is NOT an amusement park ride. It is a challenging and demanding adventure that requires full passenger participation. The three things you will need to bring with you on Gore Canyon are a sense of adventure, a willingness to participate, and a comfort level for physically and mentally challenging outdoor experiences!

For some time now I've been having problems with my plugins.
I decided to delete one or two of them after awhile and I get a successfully deleted files message, but when I go back to the plugins page they're still there--if I delete the files via ftp, they still show up in this list.
Also, when I add new plugins, they succesfully install, but then do not show up in the plugins list--I have no idea why this would happen...
The plugins I can't delete currently are Lightbox-2, and Hello Dolly. I also have the problem where I update plugins, get a success message, and then they show up as still needing to be updated?
If I check back then a day or so later, the problem seems to have resolved itself--I can't figure out why it would happen, but is it possible there is some caching issue I'm overlooking?

Trahan, Business Official DOE Grant No. DE-FG02-98ER82631 Amount: $75,000 High gradient electron or positron acceleration in particle physics research requires higher frequency radio frequency (rf) sources and components than are now available. A way to circumvent this issue is to generate the accelerating fields using short bunches of electrons that induce a periodic localized wake field in a dielectric-lined wave-guide. This project will develop a method for achieving high accelerating gradients using a train of bunches, thus allowing future high-gradient research accelerators to be a fraction of the cost of presently envisioned machines. If one drive bunch sets up the wake fields, it must be highly intense; but with several moderately intense bunches, comparable fields are induced if the interbunch spacing equals the wake field period. A dielectric-lined cylindrical waveguide has been designed wherein moderately intense bunches induce many waveguide modes, and where the wake field period equals the interbunch spacing. In Phase I a 50-60 cm long dielectric-lined wake field accelerator module will be built to be installed in an accelerator test facility. The frequency spectrum of fields induced by passage of a single drive bunch and energy loss of the drive bunch will both be measured. These would be the first steps in the construction of a dielectric wake field accelerator using several decelerated drive bunches and a trailing accelerated test bunch. Commercial Applications and Other Benefits as described by the awardee: Availability of a high-gradient accelerator that did not require an external high-power high frequency rf source and associated rf components would allow future high energy electron-positron research accelerators to be built using available technology, at a fraction of the cost of systems requiring external sources. Industrial accelerators with high acceleration gradients would be more compact than current designs, with concomitant savings._

AbstractIn this program, DSR proposes to develop a multi-use test system that will be capable of mechanically testing conventional and ultra high-strength geologic and man-made materials and obtaining post-peak stress-strain properties in tri-axial compression and direct tension/ extension (DTE) configurations. In Phase I, mechanical and hydraulic conceptual designs will be developed for the dual-use test device with the capability to apply confining pressures up to 200 MPa to right-circular cylinder samples. This phase will also include developing the servo-hydraulic architectures needed to obtain post-peak material property data for these materials. In the Phase I option portion of this program, DSR plans to design a highly-accurate instrumentation configuration that will allow for accurate measurements as well as provide the servo-loop feedback necessary to obtain the required post-peak behavior of the test sample. In Phase II, the mechanical, hydraulic, and instrumentation designs developed in the Phase I effort will be built, and tested under a variety of different conditions to demonstrate the ability for this device to capture post-peak behavior of test samples.

Review: F.A.S.T. Fleet Air Superiority Training
Flight simulators are one of the best looking apps in the app store, but they didn't really count as games. F.A.S.T. changes that by adding air combat that puts you in the cockpit of some of the most advanced jets ever. The game is so beautifully designed that you feel like you're flying the aircraft. Included are 30 exercises, and wifi or bluetooth multiplayer to dogfight with anyone from your best friends to someone across the world. There is currently a price drop to $3.99 so this is a great time to check this one out.

Focus Media Defense Against Muddy Waters Report Reverses Losses
Focus Media Holding Ltd., a digital advertising company in China, rose to a two-month high in New York as it defended itself against a report by Muddy Waters LLC questioning company disclosures.
American depositary receipts of the Shanghai-based company climbed 3.3 percent to close at $24.23 yesterday, the highest closing level since Nov. 18. The ADRs had dropped as much as 5.4 percent earlier after the Muddy Waters report.
Focus Media overstated the size of its liquid-crystal-display television network by reporting some cardboard posters as LCD displays, Muddy Waters said in the report, reiterating a "strong sell" recommendation. The short-selling company run by Carson Block first said in a November report that Focus was inflating the size of its advertising network and overpaid for acquisitions.
"Investors perhaps are getting tired of Muddy Waters," said C. Ming Zhao, an equity analyst at Susquehanna International Group LLP in Boston. He rates the shares "positive" and has a 12-month price target of $45.
Focus Media disclosed on Nov. 29 that some traditional picture frames, containing static poster ads, are included in the counting of its LCD network because the frames were installed by the LCD display network division rather than by its Framedia poster frame network, the company said in a statement yesterday.
"LCD is not representing the type of device," Jing Lu, an investor-relations officer at Focus Media in Shanghai, said in a phone interview today. "This is a classification of business divisions."
Muddy Waters estimated that proper LCD screens generate seven times more monthly revenue than the static poster ads. Lu declined to comment on that estimate.
ADRs of Focus Media have fallen 5 percent since the last trading day before Muddy Waters's first report on Nov. 21.

Not only is it a triple platinum-selling single from Dunedin
band Six60, but a philosophy of band bassist and synth player
Chris Mac.
So much so, he has been at Kaikorai Valley College for the
past two days, mentoring music pupils in songwriting,
performance and career options in the music industry - all as
part of the New Zealand Music Commission musicians mentoring
in schools programme.
''I love it. When I was a kid, I got to go to something like
this. It taught me a lot about music and the industry.
''That's where I learnt to be in bands and write songs. I
wouldn't be here without that.''
The musicians mentoring in schools programme is funded by the
Ministry of Education and supports pupils and teachers with
achievement in NCEA music.
For year 8 pupils at Kaikorai Valley College yesterday, it
was an awe-inspiring experience.
The room was silent for the first few minutes but it did not
take long for the pupils to get over their nerves and perform
in front of the rock star.
Edward Bernhardt said it was an awesome experience.
''He's the best mentor.
''He's quite funny, but also quite rude.''
Mac's visit to Kaikorai Valley College was the first of what
he hoped would be many to schools across Otago, Southland and
Canterbury in the coming months.
However, the visits will have to be slotted in between
touring engagements with Six60.
Next week, he is heading to Europe for a month-long tour.

By Andrea Sutherland (Fort Carson)October 11, 2012
FORT CARSON, Colo. -- Brad Bellas has worked since he was 11 years old. He's worked for family-owned businesses, performed odd jobs to put himself through school and enlisted as a Soldier in the U.S. Army. So when the former sergeant was forced to leave the military due to medical issues last year, he faced the daunting task of securing a job in the civilian workforce.
"It was the first time in 31 years I've had to collect unemployment," he said. "That was the longest I've ever gone without work."
For almost a year, Bellas said, he searched for work, but was turned away for being "overqualified" or was ignored completely. Frustration with his job search, coupled with often debilitating stomach issues, left Bellas feeling dejected and miserable.
"You get into this depression," he said. "It's tough. When you're used to being the main provider for your family and then you're not."
Persistence, however, paid off. Bellas turned to Shelley Anderson, a Veterans Services representative working at Fort Carson, for help. In September, he took a government service position at Schriever Air Force Base.
"Shelley Anderson, she was fantastic," he said. "I could just call her up and she would help."
Bellas attended federal resume classes with Anderson and met with her numerous times to apply for jobs.
Still, the process took time.
"I must have applied for 300 jobs," Bellas said. "When you're looking for jobs, that is your job."
"We help those Soldiers willing to take those steps toward … employment," Anderson said. "We help them market themselves, help them with interview skills, the 'elevator speech,' career counseling and self-confidence. A lot believe they can't do something because of injuries and we help them see they can."
Anderson encourages all Soldiers to attend a federal resume class and meet with counselors from the Army Career and Alumni Program, something former Staff Sgt. Sarah Petersen took seriously.
"One time is not enough," said Petersen, who now works for a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs clinic in Denver. "It took me seven months to get (my federal resume) right. I still tweak it."
Petersen, a former medic with 704th Brigade Support Battalion, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, said Soldiers leaving the Army should begin their job search as quickly as possible and network through business social media sites such as LinkedIn and career fairs.
"You don't know how long that process might take," she said. "Soldiers looking for jobs need to keep networking and be prepared to be interviewed on the spot."
Although federal resume classes are offered to all Soldiers, Anderson dedicates a large portion of her time to helping Soldiers with disabilities.
"The most important thing is picking jobs you can do with disabilities," she said. "Many times I'll introduce alternatives in the career field for a Soldier to consider."
While Anderson would never discourage a Soldier from pursuing a dream job, she stresses having realistic expectations. She also educates Soldiers on what employers can legally ask about injuries and disabilities.
"You have to say whether or not you're capable of performing the duties required of the job," she said. "Our role is to manage expectations and encourage Soldiers to have realistic expectations in pursuing a job."
Anderson said there are several misconceptions surrounding employment and mental injuries, specifically post-traumatic stress disorder.
"I've had students say that if you say you have PTSD this will prevent you from getting a job -- that if you're pursuing a career in law enforcement, you won't be able to handle a gun. This is simply not true," she said.
Although severe cases of PTSD may preclude a Soldier from a position that handles firearms, Anderson said this is not typically the case and Soldiers fearing this possibility should seek concrete answers before assuming the worst.
When Donghee Kim, a former specialist with 4th Squadron, 10th Cavalry Regiment, 3rd BCT, 4th Inf. Div., left the Army due to physical and mental issues, he pursued a career in law enforcement.
"From time to time I concealed my injuries," he said. "It's a problem for a lot of Soldiers."
Kim said he heard rumors that if he disclosed his PTSD, employers would not hire him.
"I still have a problem acknowledging PTSD," he said. "As long as you fit into society correctly, you'll be fine. … It's all about your attitude."
Kim eventually achieved his goal and now works as a detention specialist for the El Paso County Sherriff's office, but not before he spent two grueling years searching and applying for positions.
"It was bad," he said. "I didn't believe you had to look for a job a year (before leaving the Army). … I felt stuck. A lot of people say, 'I have all these experiences, this background. How can they say 'no?'' They can."
Kim said he took advantage of resources through ACAP, the Soldier Family Assistance Center and Education Services. He took his counselors' advice and volunteered for the Sherriff's office, making connections and networking with potential employers and co-workers.
"Even if it takes a long ways, (Soldiers) should do whatever it takes," he said. "Eventually, you will reach it and it's worth it."

A glass of wine sends them back in time. But only one of them remembers who they are.
It's bad enough that a wrong turn in a snowstorm forces Gina to take shelter at an out-of-the-way inn. Her ex-fiancé Luke is stranded there, too. The man she left when she caught him in bed with another woman.
A glass of wine at dinner, and Gina wakes up in a bed with Luke by her side. It's the same inn, but it's the year 1778 and Luke insists his name is John. And he says she's an indentured servant, Rachel.
Gina has to quickly learn primitive tasks like dip candles and cook without a microwave. While John is delighted that his normally reserved lover has become a wildcat in bed, her outspoken opinions could put them all in danger.
For Gina, it's like a second chance with Luke. But when an innocent mistake turns their newly discovered love upside down, Gina realizes how big a mistake she made when she left Luke.
Gina never gives up hope of going back to her own time, and she's determined to take John with her—whether he wants to go or not.

The Dell Inspiron 530/1142 comes with an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 processor and 4GB of DDR2-667 memory, making it ideal for those who like to run multiple apps simultaneously or make heavy use of programs that can take advantage of those extra cores, such as Adobe Photoshop or 3D Studio.
However, quad-core processors always suffer a little in WorldBench 6 tests, thanks to their comparatively low clock speeds (in this case 2.4GHz) when compared to dual-core equivalents. So, if you're not doing a lot of multitasking, you won't see much benefit from the Dell Inspiron 530/1142's quad-core chip.
And one area users of the Dell Inspiron 530/1142 certainly won't gain anything is gaming. While some recent titles can harness the power of additional CPU cores, an excellent processor is no use in games without a decent graphics card.
The Dell Inspiron 530/1142's Radeon HD 2600 XT graphics controller is rather outdated and comes with only 256MB of RAM, so we wouldn't recommend this system to serious gamers. You could play Fear or something similar if you keep the resolution low, but modern games at anything but the very lowest settings are out of the question. Gamers should look elsewhere – the CyberPower Gamer Infinity GT offers far better performance and costs less.
Chart ranking: budget desktop PCs (August issue)
- Arbico Elite 8070EX
- Mesh Elite Q9300 Pro
- CyberPower Gamer Infinity GT
- Eclipse Elite i85n98GTX
- Dell Inspiron 530/1142
>>NEXT PAGE: Buying advice and our expert verdict
Buying advice: budget desktop PCs (August issue)
Processor: Intel's Core 2 Duo range offers almost unbeatable performance for the price. But don't buy a standard desktop powered by any processor beginning with 'E6' – those chips' time has passed. The E8500 is a far better choice.
If you're feeling adventurous, by all means go for one of Intel's latest quad-core processors, such as the Q9300. We're starting to see very good results with newer applications and games.
Memory: If fast processors speed up your PC, a large bank of memory stops it from slowing down. Get the most out of your processor by including at least 4GB of RAM. You can get by with 2GB, but your PC will run more smoothly with 4GB. Memory is only going to become more important in the next 12 months.
Storage: Digital media files such as video and music will quickly fill a reasonably sized hard drive, so buy the biggest you can afford. A 400GB to 500GB drive should make a good investment. If you've got space, consider buying a pair of smaller drives – a terabyte (1TB) is a huge amount of information to lose in one go when your drive eventually fails.
Your DVD drive should write to the –R/+R formats at 18-speed or better. Eight-speed rewriting is good; if you want to copy up to 8.5GB at once, look for fast DVD-R DL or +R DL burning. Drives that can also read Blu-ray Disc are becoming affordable, but be aware that you'll
have to compromise your DVD speeds. Since DVD burners are low-cost items, it may be worth buying a second one to complement your Blu-ray unit.
Display: Many PC manufacturers make sacrifices here to keep the price down. But a poor monitor can ruin your computing experience, so try it first to check you can put up with the quality.
At this price point you could be offered a 19in, 20in or 22in model. Be aware that 19in displays offer a lower resolution; 20in and 22in displays offer the same number of pixels. This means 22in monitors will display larger text and icons, which may be easier to read.
Consider whether you need built-in speakers. If you want to connect additional devices to the display you'll need at least two inputs. Finally, look for a good response rate – 8ms or below should be fast enough for games.
Graphics cards: Hardcore gamers are unlikely to be happy with a sub-£750 PC – after all, the top graphics cards alone can cost £400. But you should be able to find a decent graphics card at this price.
Although 50 frames per second (fps) is enough to make a game playable, you can set your sights a little higher in this category. Look for a system that can manage 80-100fps on a number of titles. Just don't expect to be able to run the latest cutting-edge titles at the very highest-quality settings.
The best card you're likely to be offered at this price is a 512MB GeForce 9800 GTX, although the 512MB 8800 GTS is close behind and can cost significantly less.
Sound card and speakers: You'll occasionally get a budget sound card at this price point, but most motherboards depend on a decent built-in audio chip that can handle six-channel sound. These are improving all the time.
To get the best out of them you'll need a 5.1-channel system (five speakers and a subwoofer). Unfortunately, you may have to settle for a 2.1-channel system in this category. Insist on the subwoofer.

Its 20in AOC monitor is also a decent component, providing considerably more desktop space than the Eclipse Elite i85n98GTX's display. But it has to settle for fifth place.

There won't ever be a war with China. There's a sweet spot you hit in country size where successful invasion becomes impossible. America and China are both beyond that level. It's why invasion never occurred between us and Russia.
Chinese armaments suck. Their version of the AK 47 is useless. After the first 10,000 rounds the barrel becomes completely smooth and is as accurate as a musket.
LOL Good NEWS
Let us hope that the remainder of their amaments comprise the same sucky quality that has been extolled upon Am,erika's shore.

Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
Many semi-pro and professional wedding photographers are looking to "wake up" their style, stay current, and stimulate business. And today, that means lifestyle photography, also referred to as "fine art wedding photography." Fine art wedding photography isn't just a catchy phrase; it's a modern approach in which design is paramount. Fine art wedding images are more graphic and stylized than traditional wedding photojournalism, as if they were pulled from the pages of a glossy wedding or lifestyle magazine.
Acclaimed wedding photographer Jose Villa was a pioneer in fine art wedding photography before it became a trendy buzzword. Here, he shares his secrets for bringing a stylized sense of composition, lighting, posing, and most important, design, to your images, while still keeping them organic and narrative. You ll learn Jose's trademark technique of capturing the more natural moment "after" a pose, and tips for getting images right in-camera to avoid the need for heavy postproduction. Final chapters show you how to integrate design through the delivered product, whether an album or slideshow, and continue nurturing clients after the wedding by expanding to baby and family portraiture.
Packed with real-life examples, solid techniques, and stunning images from one of the wedding industry's brightest stars, this book will both educate and inspire photographers seeking to update their work and satisfy a new generation of brides.

Don't Bank On Black Friday
The National Retail Federation's already making predictions about Black Friday, the mega shopping day that follows Thanksgiving. The outlook's not good for bargain hunters:
Import cargo volume at the nation's major retail container ports is expected to total 12.3 million containers for 2009, a drop of 18.8 percent since last year and the lowest level in seven years.
So what does that mean? Explains Laura Heller at WalletPop:
Those increasing markdowns we've all become so accustomed to may just not materialize this year.
Retailers are carrying less inventory this year so there won't be as much merchandise in stock. Even with a decline in consumer spending, people will shop for gifts. But with stores stocking less, some items may actually sell out.
Of course, that remains to be seen, but if whichever-Elmo sells out this year before you secure one for your precious babe, don't say I didn't warn you!

More than 100 illegal drug imports and $650,000 in undeclared
cash have been seized at New Zealand's border in the past
five months.
Customs Minister Maurice Williamson today said the
organisation's annual summer operation, run between November
and March, made 120 drug finds, including three
methamphetamine seizures totalling 14kg at Auckland airport.
"Detector dogs also found $650,000 of undeclared cash," he
Over the five-month period, 1.89 million arrivals and 1.85
million departures were recorded across all airports, an
increase of 5 per cent on last year.
"I'm pleased almost 96 per cent of those passengers were

After using WP RSS Aggregator for about a day, I noticed that the pages I had the widgets on began to display strange behavior. The address of the pages (and maybe the title, as well--I can't remember) changed to the titles of some miscellaneous WP posts. And the category ('News') that was selected for one of the blog pages became de-selected, resulting in every post showing up in the blog.
I noticed the changes after putting 2 widgets on a page. I don't know if that had anything to do with it... just a potential clue. I also noticed that when I added the 2nd widget, the link at the bottom of each to see older feeds disappeared.
I hope you can help.

Is there any difference between 学習する and 習う?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
These are similar words with subtle differences.
学習 has a bit more formal sound than 習う, and the difference in their meanings derive from that.
For example, 学習 tends to refer to "at desk" formal studies you do at schools and institutions. Mathmatics, science, English, that sort of things. In contrast, 習う often refers to lessons and extra-school activities such as karate, piano, cooking, and so on (see Worthy7's answer for sentences.)
The border line is blurry, though.
For example, take Worthy7's sentence "向こうの大学じゃ、習ってなかったし" as an example. This refers to a study in an university. But in this case 習う is used because the form of speech is informal.
Likewise, 学習 can be used even if it doesn't involve studying at formal institutions, when a rigid sounding noun form is needed. For example, 生涯学習センター (life-long learning center) is normally just a community center that has short programs, but you don't want to call it 生涯習い事センター because it lacks dignitiy.
学習する appears to be "It is learning" in the following examples:
In both cases it is someone talking about something else learning and acquiring knowledge.
Other examples:
And 習う seems to be a more normal learning:
In these 3 cases the speaker is talking about themselves learning something.

I do have a USP in .45.You must love the H&K USP's grip, then.
I like it.
I like my several Sigs better though.
This is a discussion on New Glock Frame within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; HotGuns, I was anti Glock for a long time. I was issued one on an assignment in 2003 and love their perfect simplicity. To me ...
I'm not anti Glock. Currently in my safe sit 2 -21's and a 17 and 19.HotGuns, I was anti Glock for a long time. I was issued one on an assignment in 2003 and love their perfect simplicity. To me they are perfect, my G30 sees alot more carry time than my $1000+ dollar 1911. I never said anything about EVERYONE, did I?
If they are perfect to you, that is all that matters.
Here's a fact though.
When taking classes of 40-50 students to the gun range to qualify them for their CHL's we usually have several "loaner" pistols of various makes and brands that are brought by the Instructors so that anyone that wants to shoot a gun after the class is over may do so.
We do this so that interested people can actually pickup, manipulate and shoot if they want to different guns that they may have heard about or read about somewhere.
Now this is where is gets interesting. The Glocks will be usually be the first pistols to get picked up and shot...because that is what everyone hears about or sees alot on TV. They will shoot them and think that they are just sooo cool. Then, they'll try something else.
Once they try an XD, the comments are always the same. "It feels so much better in the hand than the Glock" pretty much sums it up.
Once they shoot the XD, the pretty much forget the Glock, and the Glocks get lonely after that.
Now, I fully realize that this will make many hard core Glock owners uncomfortable with this fact, but it is what it is.
In truth though, it doesn't matter. If you love your Glock and are proficient with it, more power to ya. You'll be the one that has to depend on it to save your life, so it doesn't matter what anyone thinks.
This new style lower is trying to capture the segment of the market that has picked up a Glock at one time or another and put it back down in hopes of finding something that suits them better. Some people that are Glock lovers will want to try the lower just because as humans being we are always in the search for something better.If you happen to have small hands, this lower may be the difference between owning a Glock or not owning one.

Call me another person who thinks GLOCK handguns are lacking in the area of human ergonomics. For me anyway.
Add an "im" in front of "perfection" as far as I'm concerned.
That being said they are ultra reliable and incredibly functionally perfect handguns that just don't happen to agree with my hand.
So I would consider an aftermarket frame that was more ergonomically suited to my hand as long as reliability was not compromised.
I personally think the standard 1911 grip is ideal (for me) but it wouldn't bother me at all if another shooter needed (or wanted) a 1911 with fatter grips and a "palm swell" and finger grooves and a squared off trigger guard....or an arched mainspring housing or an extra short trigger.
Go with whatever fits your hand and points naturally to you.
If it doesn't fit or feel right then either "make it fit" or choose a different handgun.
I am "all for" anybody modifying any handgun in order to better tailor it to their personal preference.
Liberty Over Tyranny Μολὼν λαβέ
Well i am about as big of a glock lover as you can get. With that said i like the erganomics of the firearm but could use some tightening up. I respectfully disagree by saying that. Being a person who as ordered a custom glock, Bowie tactical concepts, i absolutly love the feel of my 19 but love the feel of the bowie even more. I am all for improvment with a firearm if at all possible. I mean comeon guys your going to tell my that if Glock figured out a way to fit 2 extra rounds in a 19 mag that you wouldnt be gratefull?
Yes, i do have a 19 and yes i do have some modifications on the firearm as well. To start i have steel sights on it. You might say why, dont the Glock stock work? yes they do but i popped them out on a clearance drill. I know many people who have popped the sights aswell. Simple fix. Next stainless guide rod. Alot of people might flame me and say that is stupid but i tell you to test it. With the stock guiderod after a few thousand rounds the guiderod gets weak and warps. I got the new guide rod cut to old and rolled it on a flat surface and it was as lop sided as John Kerry. I put in the new guide rod and the differance in force comming forward from releasing the slide is much more tremendous because the guide rod doesnt flex allowing the spring to absorb all of the shock.
I personally believe the glock is the greatest handgun out ther but there is always room for improvment.
The choices you make today define you of who you are tommorow
When you see the light at the end of the tunnel your life is not over..... it is just about to begin
COPS Protective Services
So, anything that reduce the 2x4 feel of the Glock frame would be a good thing, assuming that quality and reliability could be maintained. If nothing else, they'll get the shape right and Glock will see the wisdom to adjust for the next gen.
Your best weapon is your brain. Don't leave home without it.
Thoughts: Justifiable self defense (A.O.J.).
Explain: How does disarming victims reduce the number of victims?
Reason over Force: Why the Gun is Civilization (Marko Kloos).
Looks like a 1911 grip angle and replaceable back straps...imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Now if they could just make a trigger I like...
(not anti-Glock, just have other preferences, before it gets ugly)
What Would Gumby Do?
I have a G21 that was customised by Robar and it is one hell of a carry gun. Thatbeing said I also have 3 other glocks and have absolutely no problem with the ergonomics of any of them custom or stock. After all a Glock is a Glock it works hot cold dirty or clean.
Glock has the major share of law enforcement business but is seeing Smith M&Ps and Springfield XDs begin to get some of that business and the civilian market. Changes are inevitable.
I DID have an XD subcompact in .40 and sold it to buy a Glock 30. I found the grip had me pointing high and I had to adjust my hold. Doing two by twos on four targets, I was always high and had to really slow down and adjust grip. It also felt very chunky.
The glock grip just feels natural and points right on. 'course I'm partial to .45. To each their own.
I've got a 17 (first or second generation of that model, no rail or finger grooves), a 19 (first Gen of that one I think, again no rail or grooves) and a 26 (one of the first in our State). All are fine how they are IMHO, wouldn't mind the rail though....

Here's a flyer on the new 4th Gen coming
What? GLOCK changed the grip on the 4th Gen?
But, but, but I thought it was already GLOCK perfection?
Oh...OK...now it's Glock "More Perfect" than just already Perfect.

I currently have three third generation Glocks... all stock... and I will not change that. The next thing I would like to see from Glock is a single stack magazine.

Rumour: Home v1.0 to enter closed beta on November 20
Whoops. If this Tawkn post is to be believed, a poster on the Home beta forums has just dropped a ton of information on the next phase of the app's roll-out, including a November 20 date for the introduction of the v1.0 client – the launch software, basically – to the beta servers.
The post says that new servers will be coming online in the "next week or so" and that two new waves of beta invites are about to bring a "huge" number of people into the test to stress v1.0.
"Open beta will be here when it's here," says the post.
