Hetalia: 7 Minutes in Heaven (Romano)You were sitting calmly on the couch with your friend and roommate Feliciano. Since Germany was away on business, he put you in charge of Feli. In the process of this, you were dragged into going to this party with the young Italian. You watched countries intoxicating themselves from the couch. All of the countries were there as far as you could see. Your heart sank when you didn't see Romano. He was the other reason you came to the party.Romano was your friend since you were children. You were the only one he was really nice to. When older countries bullied him, you protected him. Honestly, you preferred his harsh and honest ways over Feliciano's happy and fake ones. He had always helped you when you were sad. He made you happy in every way. Over the years he had become a handsome country, and you had developed a crush. Just thinking about Romano caused a pink blush to appear on your cheeks.You were pulled from your thoughts by loud arguing. You spun on the couch to see
Hetalia: 7 Minutes in Heaven (Spain) You walked into the American's house. The party was in full swing, and you felt out of place. You were never one to enjoy parties. Seeing your friend Kiku sitting on the couch, you decide to go see him. Sitting with your close friend and main trading country, the two of you got involved in a deep conversation about anime and manga. Eventually, the bubbly Italy came up to you. "Ve! (f/n), you made it." Feliciano cheered and danced around a bit. You giggled at your bubbly friend. "Hey Feli." You smiled. You waved at your friend Ludwig who was currently watching Feliciano so he wouldn't do anything stupid. He waved back and took a drink from his beer. "Bella, do you mind if we take Kiku for a while?" Feli looked at you with open honey colored eyes. As much as you wanted to continue your conversation with the Japanese man, you couldn't resist those eyes. You giggled lightly. "Of course. How could I say no to you Feli?" Y
Secret Admirer Canada X Reader FluffA pillow hit you in the face. Only one person would have done that. You grabbed the pillow, and without looking up, you threw it back at the American with extreme force. You smirked into your (f/c) pillow when he groaned at the direct hit to "Florida". Your knife-throwing friend Luciano had taught you a thing or two when you hung out with him last week.Hearing Alfred drop to his knees was victory, and you stretched the sleepiness off. Sitting up, you smiled sweetly."Morning Alfred." You spoke with an innocent tone. He glared up at you through his glasses."Yeah, I have to go to work, so I wanted to wake you up to make Matthew breakfast," He groaned as he stood up, using the door frame as support, "Poor guy had a rough night last night. I heard him sobbing twice.""And you didn't go check on him?""Whoa! Whoa! Hey I tried, but his door is locked." The American held his hands up defensively. You sighed deeply
Hetalia: 7 Minutes in Heaven (America)You paced the guest room of Alfred's house. You had lived there before in the guest bedroom, and after you moved back in with Germany, you left a few boxes of clothes there. The reason you were in there instead of downstairs partying was that a certain French man had spilled wine on you. He apologized, but by the way Gilbert and Antonio were snickering, you knew it was on purpose.You were currently looking for an outfit to wear, seeing as your favorite jeans and T-Shirt were now covered in wine stains. Finally, you sighed and settled on the short black dress with the bejeweled halter-top. You had gotten it last year for a Christmas party and it still fit you. Only thing was that you hated to wear dresses. It was the only thing that still fit nicely.You slipped on the dress and realized how your body had changed. Looking at yourself in the mirror, you actually admired the dress. It fit your curves nicely, and the upper torso of it showed just how large your chest had become. You

Scrap metal cash payments banned
Cash payments for metal at recycling yards in England and Wales are no longer legal under new laws aimed at reducing cable theft.
Thefts have plagued the railway industry for the past few years, disrupting services across the country.
Penalties for those breaking the law have also been increased in amendments to the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill.
Workers in the metal recycling industry say legislation alone is not enough.
The metal recycling industry is worth about £5.6bn annually and employs almost 8,000 people in the UK.
Home Secretary Theresa May announced the changes in January, saying cash payments had led to "anonymous, low-risk transactions" for thieves and meant "poor record keeping" within the industry.
The Scottish government has proposed the introduction of similar measures.
Case study
Simon Ripley is a director of recycling company H Ripley & Co in Sussex and Kent:
"The legislation is not going to change very much - unscrupulous people have been buying stolen metal for years and will continue to do so.
What really needs to happen is for police to have more resources to investigate thefts.
We already take names, addresses and car registration details, sometimes photo ID too.
Sussex Police and BTP inspect our yards regularly and will ask if we have been offered particular stolen items.
If something is clearly stolen - we were once offered a castle's cannon - we contact police and have helped secure five successful prosecutions in the last four years.
Tradesmen who bring us metal work with cash for convenience. But we are already ready with alternatives to help our suppliers when the change happens.
A great deal of theft happens from scrap yards themselves.
We think this is all about raising revenue for the tax man."
The Association of Chief Police Officers estimates that metal theft costs the UK economy £770m every year.
Incidents of railway cable theft have dropped from more than 2,600 in 2011 to under 1,300 so far this year amid a police campaign to tackle the problem.
The Association of Train Operating Companies (Atoc) said: "People in communities across the country are suffering because of cable theft, whether through disruption to train journeys, disabled phone lines or desecrated war memorials."
It said the new measures would be "a real asset in the ongoing fight against metal theft" and welcomed the changes.
British Transport Police deputy chief constable Paul Crowther said metal theft remained a serious threat to infrastructure in England and Wales.
"For several years, metal thieves and unscrupulous metal recyclers have exploited outdated legislation to make profit from criminal activity. This stops now," he said.
"These measures will seriously curtail the market for stolen metal as there will now be a clear audit trail back to those bringing commodities into recycling yards and severe sanctions for those who step out of line."
It comes ahead of a bill, tabled by Richard Ottaway MP, which would see licensing for scrap metal dealers.
The British Metals Recycling Association has been supporting the Scrap Metal Dealers Bill, saying a cash ban alone will not reduce metal theft.
Its director, Ian Hetherington, has called for it to be implemented quickly by government.

Now, if we could slash 20% from the military budget, 90% from the department of education, ans 99.9% in foreign aid, we might be on to something.
Workers in Europe Protest Austerity Measures - NYTimes.com Sooner or later, the West will wake up from its willful suspension of reality.
What does that have to do with the point at hand? Correcting fiscal imbalances isn't going to lead ineluctably to this romanticized rugged individualist society lusted after by conservatives but non-existent in the civilized world.
Socialist states rank high on metrics developed by socialist knock me over with a feather.... :singing:

1997 Infiniti Q45 4 Dr Touring Sedan
ProsYou can pick these up for next to nothing now. It has great looks, is extremely reliable and is pretty fast for an older car. Great cruiser, good power for the era and most people will not know what the heck it is (most people call it that Mercedes Lexus thing you drive). ConsIt is an 8 cylinder engine and as such can drink gas if you are punching it all the time. However, you can get 24-25 on the highway if your not going over 80.
Late 90's Luxo Cruiser — I was 2nd owner of this car bought in 2000. It has been extremely reliable for me and also has never EVER left me stranded. I got a very good deal on it and over the year left nearly everything stock except the suspension. In 97' Infiniti took their home market "Cima" and brought it ot the US to replace the 90-96 Q45 which was an awesome car that very few Americans liked (there is a dedicated 1st Gen following out there if you look). The car has some excellent qualities to it, including lots of power, excellent comfort and never lets you feel like your not riding in a luxury car. However, the trunk and back seats could be bigger due to the gas tank being in between the back seats and trunk which was for safety. The car was not as tight as I wanted and the shocks were toast anyways so I set about to upgrade the car to ride more the way I would have wanted it to in the first place. The car is near impossible to find aftermarket goodies for as they just didn't sell enough of them. I found KYB SR Specials from a guy that brought them in from Japan and Tein lower springs from another guy that also had a connection in Japan. Added M45 06' Sport rims with spacers (wrong offset) and holy moly, the handles like an BMW M of that era and just has an amazing ride. While it is stiff even my 75 year old dad marveled at home nicely it rides. If you can find a decent copy of these you can pck them up dirt cheap. check out the Nissan Infiniti Car Owners web site http://www.nicoclub.com/ and see the Q45 section. It is by far the more active part of the board and there are many people that can help you to fix it up. For 3-7 grand you can find one and spend 2-3k on it and for less then 10k have a car that rolled out of the front door for 50k or more. But you don't want to buythis if you drive 120 miles a day, it will put you in the poor house with gas. Primary Use: Commuting to work |
1997 Infiniti Q45 4 Dr Touring Sedan
ProsIf you take good care of a Q45 it will take good care of you. Has good power, VERY smooth engine and very comfortable to ride in ConsNot very good gas mileage, back seat should be larger for a car this big, truck is smallish although very usable space.
Great Reliable Late 90's Japanese Luxo Car — So today hardly anybody knows what they heck this car even is at this point. This wasn't the most popular Infiniti, but it was also not the least popular. For the day it had good power from the V8 engine but compared to todays models it is just adequate. The engine is really extremely reliable and was saved from many of the issues that later Q45 and other higher tuned V8's have with oil consumption etc. If you can find a clean version that is well taken care of you can find yourself a car that was over 50k new for around 5k today. Primary Use: Commuting to work |

Just wondering if anyone knows why some so-called SEOs are using the double colon :: in page titles.
Mostly I see it as: The Company Name :: Keyword1 kw2 kw3 kw4 or HomepageURL :: Keyword1 kw2 kw3 kw4
Does :: have any significance to the SE's?
Thanks K
~ I'm partial to tildes myself. I use them all the time and they have no SEO significance that I'm aware of ~
The '::' is used as a scope resolution operator in C++ programming. Typing something like "myclass::myfunction();" lets the compiler know you want the version of 'myfunction' defined in 'myclass' rather than from the default namespace.
Whenever I see this "mydomain::mypage" naming convention for web pages, I think "geek"...
i never considered the seo perspective, i don't think there is any significance at all.
search in google: in:the and see only: in the (Seperated by space)
and same result with: in::the
and with: "." ":" "/" "\" "'" "=" "@" operators
also I try only : search in google and found nothing. (just put : in searchbar and press search button) or try other combinations "::" ".::" "::." "."

Right-hander Michael Catoe, who worked nine frames, was the winner. Catoe struck out nine and allowed 11 hits and two walks.
"Michael grew stronger as the game wore on," P-31 coach Brett Blackmon said.
Before heading to basketball camp to hone their game, a group of Lancaster High boys basketball team members recently took a timeout to give Read Across Lancaster participants advice on the game of life.
The group, including Bruins' coach Ricardo Priester and four LHS players, offered tips on being a success in class and beyond.
Senior Zedrick Truesdale told the students, who range from kindergarten to fifth grade, how important schoolwork is.
The Read Across Lancaster program began June 8 and ended July 3.

The winning team, which carded a 51 over 18 holes, included Jerell Fields, Michael Fields, Robert Bethea and Joshua Sherrill.
The Charlotte team's win, which garnered a $1,000 prize, was aided by Jerell Fields' close-ups on No. 13 and 15. The tournament drew 29 teams.
Longtime Lancaster baseball fan Jack "Monk" Lucas tells this story better than I could, but I'll give it a go in honor of Father's Day.
It was the mid-1960s during the Dixie Youth Baseball season at Wylie Park.
"Monk's" son Mike and I were teammates.
"Monk," who often frequents the dugout area at baseball games, said during a game one day, my father, the late Jim Howey, asked the coaches to put me in.
The Lancaster Motor Speedway racing was like the weather Saturday night – hot.
The temperature topped 95 most of the day in Lancaster and still people packed into the track ready for race night.
With pit road crowded and drivers eager to get hot laps rolling, the drivers' meeting prepared everyone.
The music was playing, the drinks were cold, and the talk was racing. Now, close your eyes and imagine you are at Lancaster Speedway this past Saturday night and listen to the excitement.

Cancer in children residing near nuclear power plants: an open question
- Giovanni Ghirga
- … show all 1 hide
Global warming and the established responsibility of the anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases represent a strong push towards the construction of new nuclear power plants (NPPs) to cope with the growing energy needs. The toxicity of nuclear waste associated with the extreme difficulty of their disposal and increase in cancer mortality and incidence following occupational radiation exposure are considered the only health problems.
A search of scientific articles and government documents published since January 1, 1980 to July 1, 2010 was performed to evaluate cancer rate and mortality in residents, particularly children, in the vicinity of NPPs.
A recent well conducted state-of-the-art case-control study of childhood cancers in the areas around German NPPs (KiKK study) showed a statistically significant cancers (2.2-fold increase in leukemia and a 1.6-fold increase in solid tumor) among children under five years of age living in the inner 5 km circle around NPPs when compared to residence outside this area. These findings have been confirmed by two meta-analyses. Nevertheless, other UK, France, Spain and Finland studies did not find cancer incidence and/or death increase near NPPs.
Increased cancer risk near NPPs remains in fact an open question. The stronger evidence from the KiKK study suggests there may well be such increases at least in children regardless of the country in which nuclear reactors are located. In fact, few months ago the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has asked the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) to perform a state-of-the-art study on cancer risk for populations surrounding NPPs.

Lighten Up Your Holiday Meal
During the holidays, can you enjoy the foods you love and still feel merry come January?
Absolutely! It just takes a little creativity, like baking or broiling instead of frying, using lower fat or fat free ingredients and finding ways to cut back on sugar and salt. Experimenting with different herbs and spices is also a good way to add more flavor to your meals without extra fat, sodium and calories.
Try these lighter alternatives to some of your holiday favorites. They're guaranteed to wow guests and family alike.
The Appetizer: The usual chips and heavy dips
Try our: Fresh Fruit Salad or Snackin' Pumpkin Hummus
A festive vegetable display will also impress holiday guests. Try serving with Curry Crab Dip for a new twist on the traditional ranch-based dips.
The Side Dishes: The traditional salty, heavy sides
Try our: Yam Apple Casserole and Zucchini-Corn Sauté.
Ordinary mashed potatoes can have a lot of salt hidden in them, depending upon how they are made. Try using Carnation Evaporated Milk to add a creamy texture and keep the salt level down. See how easy Carnation Mashed Potatoes are to make for your next holiday gathering. Also, consider additional seasoning like Parsley or Garlic to add a flavor boost without extra fat.
The Dessert: The sinfully rich pies or cheesecakes
Try our: Lite N' Easy Crustless Pumpkin Pie or Pumpkin Mousse
Can't pass up on the traditional pies? Consider requesting frozen yogurt or low or no fat whipped cream to go with the pie to try and cut down on some of the sinful nature of the post-meal delights.

I know there is a livestream on the Australian Open website, but it will only work in certain regions and, as the tournament hasn't started yet, there is no way of knowing if that livestream will work. Does anyone know any livestreams which will definitely work? I know it's early but it's best we try and find them now. Better to be safe than sorry!

About Wetsuits
Modern triathlon wetsuits were invented by Dan Empfield in 1987 and are customized to the needs of triathletes, they generally incorporate the following key features which differentiates them from a normal wetsuit. 1, Thinner and/or more pliable rubber near the shoulders. 2, Long zippers to facilitate quick removal during transition. In addition, tri wetsuits have a very smooth, but often fragile, surface. This slick surface helps to reduce water friction and allows a faster swim. Another advantage of a tri wetsuit is the added buoyancy that the wetsuit provides, this can provide triathletes with a considerable speed and energy saving advantage over swimming without a suit.
About the Orca brand
Whilst working as a swim coach, and from his first hand experience in competing in triathlon, Scott Unsworth realised that the wetsuits used at the time were completely inadequate for swimming. In 1992 Scott started up a company called Performance Speedsuits Ltd, based out of his parent's house in Auckland, New Zealand. He began to develop his "Speedsuits", which featured greater flexibility and buoyancy than other existing wetsuits. The business started with Scott selling his Speedsuits from the back of his car at swim meets and triathlon events. The Speedsuits quickly gained a following amongst athletes and the business started to grow. Scott was taking his first steps towards introducing what would become Orca, to the world. A young New Zealand triathlete named Hamish Carter became one of the first athletes to sign up with the company that is now Orca. Over the next 13 years Hamish Carter went on to become one of the best known triathletes in the world - culminating in a gold medal at the 2004 Olympics in Athens.

I seem to be between sizes so hope you can help me decide if I am a medium or small. My measurements are:
Height 166cm/5 feet 5.5
Chest 86.5cm/34 inches
Weight 130lb/59KG
but I think I have fairly large hips 98cm/38.5inches.
Many thanks
Will help you to choose the right size !
Please would you advise the best size for me in the Ladies TRN Thermo Full Sleeve Wetsuit. I am 172cm's tall and weigh 78 kilograms.
Chest 93 cms
Waist 69 cms
HIps 98.5 cms
Thighs 68.5 cms each
Thank You
To help get the suit on and off easily we would advise using Bodyglide.
My measurements are:
Height - 175cm, Chest - 86cm and Weight - 62 kg
Although the chest may be a bit big, the small would not be long enough in the body.

BRYANT – After the Bryant Lady Hornets came up with the upset victory over their Benton counterparts, the Hornets couldn't duplicate the feat as the Benton Panthers swept Bryant this season and took the Saline County Shootout trophy with a 73-60 win over Bryant on Wednesday night at the Hornets' Nest in Bryant. "The good thing about it is, number one it was a sweep of Bryant," Benton Coach Dwaine Fishburn said, "number two, now we're in sole possession of first place, and number three, we're defending conference champions."
BRYANT – After Lady Panther junior Braxton Chumley hit two free throws with 6.3 seconds left to give Benton a 50-49 lead, junior Lady Hornet guard Jakeria Otey dribbled down the left side of the court, drove to the bucket and was the recipient of a foul call as time expired. Otey calmly hit both free throws to give Bryant the 51-50 upset victory over rival Benton in the Saline County Shootout Wednesday night to make up for Tuesday's postponement due to inclement weather.

Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York

Yes; both the primary borrower and co-signer would each be liable for the debt so the nonpayment would appear on both persons credit reports.

Situated up in the Aravalli Mountains of the northwest Rajasthan area and not far southwest of Delhi, historic Udaipur is one of India's romantic hotspots. Founded by Maharana Udai Singh in 1568, it is often coined the 'City of Dawn' and is positioned on the sizeable Lake Pichola.
Udaipur is one of the more relaxed and safer cities in northern India, with little violent crime and hassle for foreigners. Pickpockets and scammers are apparent, however, while being aware of certain vaccinations before traveling to India is advised. Udaipur is best visited in the winter when it is dry and cool.
While Udaipur is not as high profile for its eating as Madras or Mumbai, this is India, and it still has great food. There are curries galore in any and every bazaar that can be had for a snip and at any heat, right up to the swankiest restaurants amid the picturesque Lake Pichola.
Udaipur is fantastic for traditional crafts and everything from wooden statues to silk ties and high-end fashions can be had. The best shopping is in the many bazaars that can be found all over Udaipur.
Lake Pichola presents options for entertainment away from the busy streets of Udaipur. Various companies and private individuals run boat trips around the shores of the lake and out to the islands. You get to take in the city from another perspective and you can also head for Jag Niwas Island to dine at the restaurant there.
Udaipur has a rich history that is best seen in its palaces and temples. Most sites are based on a religious theme and it is easy to be impressed by the sheer scale of some of the palaces.

I was at wallymart the other day and they had Peak Final Charge premixed 50/50 Diesel truck coolant on clearance for $3.50 a gallon. Read the back and it said that it had all the additives and whatnot required for a long list of diesel engines specs that it met.
Read the TDS posts by Gooch, good education. I use Evans NPG+ in the F350 (there simply is no better coolant - period!). It doesn't boil until 385*F, at 0psi! Thats 100* higher than anti-freeze and I can run my system without any pressure! I did this cause I figured no pressure would equal less chance of a leak with all the 'extra' coolant connections w/my VO system. It lasts forever (literally) and no SCA's required. The Excursion got CAT ELC (about $10/gallon). No SCA's required and it lasts 500,000 miles if ya add the 'extender' at 350k miles. The danger w/diesel coolants is cavitation due to boiling. This often happens in the coolant jackets surrounding the pistons. If the coolant 'boils' here, it causes erosion in the metal and can end up making a hole in the jacket. This is very, very bad - mmmkay? 'Economy' is relative. Sure $3.50/gal is ALOT cheaper - up front anyway. But if ya flush and change it as required and monitor/add SCA's it may not be that great a savings in the long run.

why not? I mean it does say down towards the middle that it meets or exceeds the spec for International, and I have seen this particular coolant mentioned on other PSD related sites.
http://www.peakantifreeze.com/finalchargeext.htm FINAL CHARGE Global Extended Life Coolant features a patented Organic Acid Technology (OAT) formula that delivers total cooling system protection for 600,000 miles of on-road use (6 years of 12,000 hours or off-highway use) without the use of Supplemental Coolant Additives (SCAs). The only maintenance required is the addition of FINAL CHARGE Extender at 300,000 to 400,000 miles of on-road use (3 years or 6,000 hours of off-highway use). When required, you should also top-off the cooling system with FINAL CHARGE or FINAL CHARGE 50/50 Pre-diluted Global Extended Life Coolant/Antifreeze. Meets or exceeds the performance requirements of the following specifications: - CAT EC-1 - Cummins - Detroit Diesel - Mack Truck - MTU - Navistar B-1 - International - Volvo - Mercedes DBL 7700 - ASTM D-3306 - ASTM D-4656 - ASTM D-5345 Final Charge Global Extended Life Coolant/Antifreeze is recommended for use in the cooling systems of all types of heavy-duty diesel, gasoline and natural gas engines. Final Charge Coolant is a diesel specific coolant recommended for use in heavy-duty engines. It is also recommended for use in the cooling systems of all types of industrial internal combustion engines, including systems containing large amounts of aluminum. Gooch's post says that an OAT should be fine if not better than regular coolant plus SCA's, I quote him here... "And in fact almost all heavy duty diesel manufacturers use Heavy Duty ELC's meeting the most strict requirements in the industry...Caterpillar's EC-1." as this one clearly says it meets. It's no Evan's NPG or NPG+ but at $3.50 a gallon vs $25 a gallon it doesnt' sound like the Peak Final Charge stuff at walmart needs to be avoided. Last edited by BruceM; 04-12-2009 at 11:05 PM. |
Sorry for the knee-jerk reaction to cheap coolant from wallyworld. I admit I am not a coolant expert, the more I learn, the less I realize I know. That just seems like a really low price/gallon. To good to be true? Let us know!!

no worries on the "knee-jerk" post.
I was mistaken on the cost of the coolant, it is $4.50 a gallon for it in it's premixed form. Since I'm finally getting to the point of installing my whole WVO setup I think I am going to splurge and buy 8-9 gallons of this stuff so that I can change my coolant over to this. Tis a shame though cause I just 7k miles ago spent $40 on regular coolant plus another few bucks on SCA additives to get it to the right levels on my test strips. I suppose though I could save the 8 gallons of coolant comming out for my 2 other vehicles (gassers). Both are due for a flush and fill. Course one needs a radiator cause the plastic end tanks leak when it's really cold out :-( I guess I need to get me some 5 gallon pails or rinse a few VO cubies out with gasoline to put the reclaimed coolant in. |
The way I understand it, EC-1 coolant is what you want. If this stuff meets it, I think (dont quote me boy, cuz i aint said S**T. Am I the only one still rocking eazy E?) it should be ok

Calendar of upcoming events, rallies and town hall meetings.
The latest legislative news provides reasons for supporting the Protect Our Jobs campaign to amend the state constitution and protect our collective bargaining rights.
It's been our message all along—to ensure student success and to turn around struggling schools, the education community has to work together. And right here in Michigan, Romulus Middle Schools is proof of that.
Despite the warnings that Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP) scores released publicly last week would be drastically impacted by a new grading scale, state Department of Education (MDE) officials are now saying that Michigan elementary and middle school students showed improvement in their math and reading scores.
This morning, the House Education Committee reported out SB 619-623 and 709-710 with amendments that differ from the original Senate-approved bills.
Next month, the Department of Education (MDE) will submit a waiver request that proposes changes to how adequate yearly progress (AYP) is measured in Michigan.
Valiant efforts by Indiana House Democrats couldn't stop their Republican majority from getting their way with anti-union, economy-killing, right-to-work legislation.
The Senate's so-called education reform package (SB 618-624) is still being debated in the House Education Committee. On Wednesday, the Committee took up SB 621, 622, 709 and 710.
On Jan. 24, the Education Alliance of Michigan is hosting "Michigan Education Evaluation: Understanding Effective Instruction--Why Waiting Is Not an Option" at the Kellogg Hotel and Conference Center, 55 South Harrison in East Lansing.
As long as there are continued education funding cuts and tight budgets, teacher salaries will be scrutinized and debated. Two new studies add fuel to both sides of the issue.
As of right now, public school employees will not be getting a refund of their 3 percent retirement contribution that state employees are getting. We are still awaiting a decision on our issue from the Michigan Court of Appeals who heard oral arguments on Oct. 19.

I was reading tonight about target shooting with the .308, and came across an article (Bugholes from Bipod) that was somewhat interesting, but there was one part that caught my eye from a fellow who does a LOT of shooting. Now remember, he's talking long distance shooting from a bipod, but I have to wonder if the same technique couldn't be utilized for practicing draws from concealment. Here's the relevant quote:
So... what do you all think? Practicing draws in a quiet, dark room? Obviously a big part of drawing is target acquisition, but for the act of drawing, the grip and stance, perhaps this isn't such a bad idea. Especially if, as he says, it improves sensitivity and muscle memory.I practice in the dark by dry firing repeatedly. Most of my feel training is done in a dark room, no distractions, my sensitivity and muscle memory are greatly enhanced.

Special Correspondent
HYDERABAD: The Telugu Desam has given a call for an hour-long "traffic bandh" at 11 a.m. all over the State on Tuesday to coincide with the nationwide protest programme announced by the Left and other parties. At a press conference here on Tuesday, TDP leaders -- Yousuf Ali and M. Renuka -- said the traffic bandh was a party programme and the Left and other parties could join in the protest.
They appealed to people to bring the traffic to complete standstill for one hour on June 13. Describing as "eyewash" the one per cent and 0.75 per cent reduction announced by the State Government in the sales tax of petrol and diesel, they demanded a complete rollback. Even after the cut in the tax, an amount of Rs. 58 crores would accrue to the exchequer.
Hitting out at the UPA Government for burdening the common man by increasing the prices of petroleum products on six occasions in the last 25 months, they said the Congress had organised protest programmes when petrol price was hiked by mere one rupee during the NDA regime. But such a steep hike as the present one had never been effected before.
MP writes to Manmohan
Special Correspondent in New Delhi adds: Terming the latest hike "totally unjustified,'' the TDP suggested that the United Progressive Alliance Government structure excise duties so as to ensure that the interest of consumers are not compromised.
In a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, TDP Rajya Sabha member C. Ramachandraiah said besides the above mentioned suggestion, the ad valorem component in the existing mix should be replaced by a single specific component to ensure that tax burden on the consumer does not go up each time the prices of petrol and diesel go up.
He said the Centre levies excise duty on all petroleum products whereas State Governments levy sales tax on them.
For instance, he said, if Rs. 48 per litre is the price of petrol, then the consumer pays more than 50 per cent, nearly Rs. 24 as taxes. Similarly, if the price of diesel is Rs. 38, then more than one-third, about Rs. 13, is the tax component Similarly, he argued with instances of how multitude of excise duties contribute to the overall rise in the prices of petrol and diesel.
A steep hike of these prices would have a cascading effect on the general price line, which would burden the common man further.

This will be the #1 issue come November 2008. This is the issue that just destroyed John McCain. I had this happen to me, only the driver was totally trashed, and when I called the cops, they told me they were too busy to bother. Good thing illegals are held to the same level of accountability as the everyday citizen. Turmoil in Tulsa: The illegal immigration wreck For reader, accident with apparent illegal alien crystallized city's changes For Rutledge, a car accident personalized the issue. He and his wife were waiting in their pickup at a traffic light one evening when they were hit from behind by a vehicle traveling about 30 miles an hour. They were not badly hurt, only stunned. More shocking, though, was what they heard from the police officer who responded to the accident: The other driver, a young Hispanic man, did not speak English, did not have a driverŌĆÖs license or insurance. The officer suspected the man was an illegal immigrant, Rutledge said, but he did not check his immigration status because such inquiries werenŌĆÖt allowed in misdemeanor cases. Before taking the other driver to jail, Rutledge said, the officer told him he should just go home and forget about it. ŌĆśThere's not much to be doneŌĆÖ ŌĆ£He said, ŌĆśWe do a lot of this kind of thing and we can tell you that there's not much to be done about it,ŌĆÖŌĆØ Rutledge recalled. ItŌĆÖs not clear what happened to the suspect after that. Tulsa police were not able to locate an accident report on the incident. But officers said that the maximum penalty the man could have faced for driving without a license, a misdemeanor, would be 30 days in jail. Driving without insurance is only a ticketable offense. Rutledge said he was floored by the experience. Not only would his own insurance company have to absorb the cost for repairing his truck, but the other driver was soon going to be back on the streets. ŌĆ£It was ŌĆ" a feeling of helplessness,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£There's no recourse, there's nothing to do.ŌĆØ Rutledge began comparing notes with friends and family and found that many had a similar story with a similar outcome. That got him thinking about the bigger picture. ŌĆ£I think that when someone comes in this country illegally, it starts a tradition or culture,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£You come in illegally; everything you do from that point on is illegal. And so it's almost impossible to get a driverŌĆÖs license or insurance so you just start breaking one law after another. I think itŌĆÖs seductive. I think after a while ... you don't pay too much attention to rule of law that this country was established on.ŌĆØ http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19466978
But it comes down to what are illegals doing in Tulsa? Probably working in meat packing plants, working the fields and doing other dirty jobs.. when companies stop hiring illegals to increase their profit margin things might be a little different. People do not want to settle in places unless their is work.
My daughter didn't get a job at a local nursery this year that she applied for. Her boy friend applied at the same time and he didn't get the job. They were told all their positions were already filled. My wife and I were there a couple of weeks ago and there were 4 mexicans working there.
All the Politician Scumbags want from you is your vote then they sh!t all over you after you elect them, the American People do not want foreigners pouring into America ILLEGALLY, who knows what they bring with them from crime to disease, how many Rapers and Pedophiles come with them, how many Cold Blooded Murderers, how many carriers of disease, your country has been Invaded, your President, America's Left Wing Liberals, and most all Democrats have helped the enemy INVADE AMERICA, now they not only want you to welcome the Invader they want YOU to adapt to his way of life, the Invader is to lazy and arrogant to learn the country's language so your PANDERING, SLOBBERING, PHONY, SLIMEY LIBERAL SOCIETY wants you to kiss the a$s of the rotten invader and learn his language, imagine how country's like China and Russia must laugh at us. Liberals & Looney New Democrats always bleat about "freedom" in a few years wait until some of these Illegal Bastards start entering politics and get a little power then watch your "freedom sh!t" go down the drain, they will turn America into one giant South American Spanish SH!T HOLE. Note to racist twins: "hey Jessie Jackoff & Al, wait until you try to pull your "Racism Act" with "The New Ones". Speaking of the two Racists (Al & Jess) why are they so quiet on the Illegal Aliens, could it be they see Competition, does this mean we might see a couple of Spanish Jesse & AlŌĆÖs start pushing them out of the spotlight? STOP HIRING THEM (jail sentence for anyone that does) NOTHING FREE Then they will leave on their own and no more will come. George Bush Crazy McCain Most all New Democrats They led the charge and are responsible for the VICTORY of the Criminal Illegal Aliens Invasion, another war lost, America will never be the same for your Grandchildren, do any of you leftyŌĆÖs really believe that a government run by Spanish Speaking People Or Middle East Muslim Fanatics would read you your Miranda Rights :singing: Today, AmericaŌĆÖs biggest enemy is itŌĆÖs elected leaders. Also, do you know that 95% of all FELONS vote democrat. I'm all done voting :bricks:
They were available, probably cheaper, probably slept in a moldy trailer in the back and did not have to worry about finishing or going back to school...
I dunno, the economic effects of any solution are still scary. If you eliminate all illegal workers you end up with too many jobs chasing too few workers. That's a lot of inflation to worry about. If you suddenly make all these illegal workers legal, you still have inflationary pressure because they're all going to demand the same legal work benefits everyone else gets, stuff like SSI, Workman's Comp, Unemployment, overtime etc. That's costlier too. The only solutions I see are the status quo, which no one seems to like, or the Bush/Kennedy plan. Anything else puts our economy back in the 70's with endless stagflation. Who in god's name wants that?
Did you see the legislation they passed in that state to combat illegal aliens? That's what they did.
You dismiss my thoughts while the only thing you provide is 'just throw them all out.' As though that wouldn't have any consequences What's real funny is that even Harry doesn't buy his own bs, but I think you believe yours. You're just arrogant enough to think that if you were charge all of the world's problems would just fade away.
Nah, problems will always present themselves, only to varying degrees. I've sad this before, and I'll say it again (for the 1,000th time). All we need to do is enforce the laws we already have on the books, while maybe adding some extra penalties to business' who hire illegals, and seal the border once and for all. When we do that, seal the border and enforce the laws, we will weed out, and eliminate the the problem we have today. It won't happen overnight, but will certainly happen over time.
Back in the day when I had a job........I worked in Texas for a contract management company. This was back in the early 90's and if you hired an illegal alien you were subject to a fine of $10,000. Don't know if anyone else was ever fined, but I made sure I crossed all my t's.
George Bush was just on TV (grinning again) and for the first time since the year 2000 I turned him off, I can no longer stand that smirk, it isn't the war, Democrats and Republicans alike wanted to go after Iraq, we now know that was a terrible mistake, the Iraqi Scum People deserved Saddam, he knew how to handle them, he was one of them, complete swine, ungrateful dog pigs, when I see them throwing Iraqi's off rooftops now on the History Channell instead of screaming obcenities I now stand up in my living room and cheer, my wife will no longer watch the news with me, in fact she will no longer watch anything with me, I have a picture of an old Iraqi hag in a black sheet begging Saddams sons not to cut her husbands tounge off on my refrigerator door, I just made my own tee shirt with a magic marker that says "Bring Back Saddam" on the front and on the back I printed "Cut Their F-cking Legs Off". Our young troops should be taken out of that stinking filthy Iraqi Dump, those people do not deserve to have our American youth walking among them, they are ungrateful murdering savage swill. Now, back to Bush, it isn't the war, it's the rotten illegal criminal aliens, when I see Bush grinning and when I see pictures of those bastards sneaking like rats out of a hole across our borders I stand up in my living rroom and yell "f-ck you, you smelly greasy son of a b!tches" then I wonder, what kind of a rotten cesspool is that scummy little country called Mexico that makes MILLIONS of it's people scurry through the night like worms then slink over our borders and sneak into our country. When I see Bush's grin and when I see Crazy McCain blabbing his political sh!t I think about the law abiding American Citizen down there on one of the border states who works and pays taxes looking out of her kitchen window at 6:00 AM and seeing 15 or 20 Mexicans taking a bath in her swimming pool that's when I start thinking Impeachment, not for the war but for that poor hard working women who has Illegal Aliens pissing in her swimming pool at six o'clock in the morning. I'll never vote again, it's all over for me, all I have left is my horse, my little beach, some clams and my neighbors wife, she isn't much, she only has one tit but she's a good women :bricks:
Considering how many invaders have infiltrated our country since 1987, I'd guess that there weren't too many of those $10k fines being doaled out.
That last line got me laughing out loud at the shop here. I better get back to work before they catch m

ESPN.com: NCF Nation | [Print without images] |
College football coaches are the kings of qualifying statements, hesitant to let the evidence stand on its own without mentioning mistakes or the room for improvement.
Talent and confidence have helped make Michigan State's defense elite this season. |
Of the key national stories in Week 10 -- Florida State's latest destruction of a top-10 foe, Nebraska's Hail Mary, the bad blood between Georgia and Florida -- arguably nothing resonated more than Michigan State's defense.
Narduzzi, who has orchestrated a top-10 defense for the past three seasons, was asked Saturday whether the unit -- ranked No. 1 nationally in total defense (210.2 ypg), rush defense (43.4 ppg) and pass efficiency defense (90.3 rating) and third in scoring defense (11.6 ppg) -- is exceeding his expectations.
"There's no question," he said. "You never think you're going to be that good."
Dantonio used the word dominant several times, noting that Michigan State hasn't allowed a touchdown in its past three games.
"In modern-day football, you just don't see that very often," he said.
Indeed, this is unique. Michigan State's defense has been among the nation's best the past two seasons, finishing in the top-10 in points allowed, yards allowed and rushing yards allowed. The self-titled Spartan Dawgs have gained respect both in the Big Ten and nationally.
They were near the top, but not quite at the top. A step separated MSU between great and elite, one many programs struggle to take.
In 2012, Michigan State created a blueprint for its defense, defining the Spartan Dawgs as: "An Elite Group United to Wreak Havoc, Instill Fear and Dominate the Country." The Spartans are reflecting their mantra this season.
How has it happened? Three factors have contributed.
1. An elite pass rusher and more overall pressure
Lost amid all the impressive numbers the Spartan defense put up last season is a rather ugly one: 20 sacks. Michigan State tied for 93rd nationally in sacks per game, and only Iowa (13) recorded fewer sacks than the Spartans among Big Ten teams.
MSU didn't get the season it expected out of end William Gholston, who had 4.5 sacks, and no other defensive lineman had more than two. But the pass rush picked up toward the end of the season, as the Spartans recorded 14 sacks in their final five contests.
It has continued this fall, as the Spartans already have 16 sacks after Saturday's surge. Sophomore Shilique Calhoun leads the Big Ten with 6.5 sacks, providing a fearsome presence on the edge. Linebacker Denicos Allen, an effective blitzer who finished second in the Big Ten in sacks with 11 in 2011, has recaptured his former form. Allen recorded two sacks against Michigan and earned national defensive player of the week honors, in addition to becoming the fourth Spartan this season to earn Big Ten defensive player of the week honors.
"That's what we want to do, attack 'em for four quarters," Narduzzi said.
Five MSU players have multiple sacks this season, including linemen Marcus Rush and Tyler Hoover. The swarm looks a lot more like 2011, when the Spartans led the Big Ten and finished seventh nationally in sacks.
"We're a pressure team, but we're getting better pass rush collectively from four guys," Dantonio said.
2. Takeaways (especially takeaways for points)
Michigan State stifled opposing offenses in 2012, but it didn't take away the ball at an exceptional rate. The Spartans had 20 takeaways, a more respectable number than their sacks total but one that still ranked in the middle of the Big Ten. Although seven different players had interceptions and nine different players recovered a fumble, none went on to score touchdowns. Michigan State's only defensive score came on a Gholston safety against Northwestern.
The opportunistic play is back this fall, as Michigan State already has 16 takeaways, including a Darqueze Dennard interception Saturday that essentially sealed the win. MSU leads the nation with five defensive touchdowns, three by Calhoun (two fumble, one interception).
Last year, statistically, we were very, very good, and not a lot of people scored on us. But we didn't get the turnovers that we had the previous year, and we didn't get the sacks. We're getting both those aspects more this year.
-- Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio
It's a lot like the 2011 defense, which had four pick-sixes.
"Last year, statistically, we were very, very good, and not a lot of people scored on us," Dantonio said. "But we didn't get the turnovers that we had the previous year, and we didn't get the sacks. We're getting both those aspects more this year.
"Those are the two things we worked on that we knew we needed to improve on. We're getting that production."
3. Embracing excellence
Michigan State's ascent from a great defense to an elite one isn't simply statistical. It's also cultural.
The Spartans aren't becoming a top-10 defense. They've already been one for several years. Seniors like linebacker Max Bullough, Allen, Dennard, Hoover, safety Isaiah Lewis and nose tackle Micajah Reynolds understand the expectations for the unit. Younger players like sophomore cornerback Trae Waynes, sophomore tacklesĀMark Scarpinato and Damon Knox, and sophomore linebacker Ed Davis, who had 2.5 sacks against Michigan, have been indoctrinated into the system.
"We've grown," Dantonio said. "We've been good for three years: 2010 we were very good as well, '11, '12. Now those guys who were freshmen in 2010 or 2011 redshirt freshman, 2012, they're now growing up and they're three years into the system, so they're able to adjust. We've got a good pass rush, we're not afraid to pressure, we've got a good scheme, but it's the players who make plays."
The Spartans have playmakers in all three units. When Dantonio looks at the defense as currently constructed, he wouldn't trade any of his pieces.
"We've got a certain amount of talent out there," Dantonio said, "but when you tack on confidence to that talent level, and the belief in the system, and the belief in each other, great things are possible."
Elite things, too. That's what Michigan State's defense has become in 2013.

Motherwell v Dundee United - GAME OFF
Tuesday's match at Fir Park has been postponed following an second inspection that determined that the pitch was waterlogged. The club had the foresight to invite an early inspection to reduce the disruption to fans.
Lanarkshire has been saturated in the last few days and the pitch succumbed to the soaking. Such cancellations used to be routine at Motherwell but since a major renovation some years ago we have been freed from the frequent embarrassments.
The game against Dundee United was originally scheduled for Wednesday (30th) but less than a fortnight ago the clubs agreed to bring it forward by 24 hours.
Tuesday's rain is driven on by a strong wind and even if the game had gone ahead it's entertainment value would have been greatly reduced because of the weather.
Have your say on the messageboard.

Will Katy Perry Tie Michael Jackson for Most Number One Songs from an Album?
How popular is Katy Perry right now? She's already obliterated the sophomore jinx by selling five million copies (and counting) of her latest album, 'Teenage Dream'…and she might tie a record in the process.
With four number one singles from 'Teenage Dream' — 'Firework,' 'E.T.,' 'California Gurls,' and the title track — Katy's one hit away from reaching Michael Jackson's record for most chart-toppers from an album — and her latest single, 'Last Friday Night (TGIF),' is poised to take her the rest of the way.

Santorum will continue to have a monopoly on the blue hairs, the GOP establishment will continue to shut out the Paul supporters (and all the youth and enthusiasm they bring to the party), and the GOP will gradually fade away….and Capitol Hill Blue will continue to offer weak analysis.
