Description This application claims priority on provisional application Ser. No. 60/781,838, filed Mar. 13, 2006. The described apparatus relates generally to exercise equipment and, more particularly, to exercise equipment that can be used to provide a user with a climbing type exercise. Climbing is recognized as a particularly effective type of aerobic exercise, and as a result, exercise machines facilitating this type of exercise are popular for both home and health club use. There have been a variety of approaches taken in designing stair climbing apparatus as illustrated in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,497,215, 4,687,195, 5,135,447, 5,180,351, 5,195,935, 5,222,928, 5,238,462, 5,318,487, 5,403,252, 6,855,093, 7,153,238 and Re. 34,959 as well as PCT application WO/94/02214. Typically these machines utilize a pair of pedals which are adapted for vertical reciprocating motion to provide a user who is standing on the pedals with a simulated climbing exercise. The vertical reciprocating motion is generally translated into a rotary motion by a suitable system of belts, gears and clutches, for example. The rotary motion that is imparted to a shaft, flywheel or the like is usually opposed by a variable source of resistance force, typically an alternator, eddy current break or the like that is responsive to a control signal for selectively varying the level of resistance. Also, it is not unusual to include features such as controlling and monitoring the speed of the pedals by the operator or by computer programs. Other approaches additionally provide for an upper body workout. For example, many health clubs have climbing walls. Another example is the Versa Climber apparatus sold by Heart Rate, Inc. of Costa Mesa, Calif. which is a mechanical hydraulic device that along with pedals provides a set of moveable handholds for an upper body workout. Therefore, given the increasing popularity of climbing as an exercise, one object of the described apparatus is to provide an improved climbing exercise apparatus as well as an apparatus that can provide for an improved climbing experience. The climbing mechanism includes a pair of pedals 42 and 44 that are mounted for movement along the tracks 38 and 40 respectively. Although the pedals 42 and 44 can be mounted on the tracks 38 and 40 by a number of different mechanisms, preferably a pair of pedal support mechanisms 46 and 48 of the type as shown in In operation, the pedal connection mechanism including belt 52, although not necessary for the basic operation of the climber 10, will act to cause one of the pedals, for example pedal 42 to move downwardly along track 38 when the other pedal, for example pedal 44 moves upwardly along the track 40. By the same token, the pedal connection mechanism including the drive belt 62 will act to cause one of the pedals, for example pedal 42 to move upwardly along track 38 when the other pedal, for example pedal 44 moves downwardly along the track 40. These connection mechanisms result in what can be termed a dependent pedal operation where the motion of the pedals 42 and 44 are dependent on the motion of the other pedal. This represents the preferred operation of the climber 10, but it should be understood that under certain circumstances independent operation of pedals might be considered desirable for a climber mechanism. As illustrated in The climber mechanism 10 as described above can be modified to also provide a total body exercise program. As shown in In the preferred embodiment, the climber 200 also provides a total body exercise capability by, in this embodiment, including a pair of movable arm handles 228 and 230 that are connected to the foot pedal assemblies 202 and 204 for movement in unison therewith. In this case, the moveable arm handles 228 and 230 are included in a pair of an arm handle assemblies where the right arm handle assembly is indicated generally by 232. Although various arrangements of levers, gears, cables, hydraulics and the like can be used, the preferred embodiment of the arm handle assembly 232 includes a rocker member 234 pivotally connected at a point 235 to a link member 236. Here, the rocker 234 is secured to a hub member 238 that in turn is free to rotate about a shaft (not shown) which can be secured to the monocolumn 216 or other parts of the frame. Also, attached to the hub 238 is the arm handle 228. As a result, the arm handle assembly 232 is effective to connect the arm handle 202 to the foot pedal assembly 202 such that the arm handle 202 will rotate back and forth as the foot pedal 206 moves up and down along the track assembly 212. The left arm handle assembly including the arm handle 230 operates in the same manner. Another aspect of the climber 200 is the addition of a step 240 secured over the ends of the handrails 218 and 220. The step 240 makes it easier for a user mount the climber 200 by shortening the distance the user needs to reach or step on to the pedals 206 and 208. The climber 200 additionally includes a housing 242 as a protective element. The carriage 266 in the preferred embodiment of the pedal assembly 202 is then secured within a pedal bracket 278 with a lower attachment plate 280 with a set of fasteners indicated at 282. The pedal 206 is attached to a pair of flanges 284 and 286 configured on the upper portion of the pedal bracket 278 by a set of fasteners indicated at 290 and 292 that are secured through a pair of mounting members such as 294 configured in the pedal 206. As shown in As represented in The above descriptions represent preferred embodiments of a climber mechanism intended for heavy duty health club type usage along with the preferred embodiments of various features and arrangements that can be used in this type exercise machines or related machines such as stairclimbers. The inclusion and implementation of various features such as moving arm handles, pedal mechanisms, resistive load mechanisms and shock absorption arrangements will depend on a number of factors including the purpose and cost of the apparatus. For example, for machines that are intended for health club usage a sophisticated control system is made possible by the use of an alternator whereas in a low cost home machine, a simple friction device might suffice and an impact absorption mechanism might not be considered necessary.

I applied for my CCW a few weeks ago and I'm waiting the eternal wait. In the meantime, I'm trying to make sure I'm 100% clear on all the situations that may arise when carrying concealed.
I know that CC laws vary from state to state, but from what I've found from research, there is one law that is pretty consistent across the country. That is, if you are pulled over by a LEO for a routine traffic violation, you are to keep your hands on the steering wheel, advise the LEO that you have a concealed carry license and indicate whether or not you are carrying. I'm curious about the passengers that are in my car. Common sense would dictate that you advise your passengers to keep their hands in plain sight as well, so as not to at any time make the LEO nervous.
I'm not at all concerned about notifying my friends and family of this practice. What I'm more concerned about are my coworkers. I travel a great deal for a living, both in my home state as well as across the country. Since I make a lousy passenger, I often find myself in the driver's seat with a host of different coworkers depending on where I'm traveling. Should I ever get pulled over, what's the best approach whether I'm carrying or not? I don't want to be over cautious by having any of my passengers "assume the position" if it's not necessary. But, I also don't want them to be subjected to the working end of an LEO's firearm.
When I posed this question at my local sheriff's office, to my surprise, no one could give me a straight answer.
I would greatly appreciate any advice, insight or experiences regarding this topic.

Ethnic restaurants provide a taste of variety for everyone not lucky enough to travel frequently or secretly live in the United Nations food court. Have a far-flung feast with this Groupon.
The Deal
- $35 for a Latin American Prix-Fixe meal for two
Each guest receives their choice of beverage, appetizer, entree, and dessert from a prix-fixe menu.
The menu explores Central and South America as well as the Caribbean with small plates such as slow-roasted pork tamales and shrimp ceviche with cucumber, radish, onions, and fresh lime juice. Dark-chocolate ice cream and a moist banana tres leches cake end meals on a sweet note, following sips of a modified mojito made with house-infused pineapple rum.
When most people go on vacation, they return with souvenirs for friends. But when Chef Alex Gurevich traveled to Latin America, he came back with a plan. Inspired by the rich cultural traditions in the eclectic cuisine he sampled, Gurevich decided to create a space that embraced the spirit of Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. The result: Limón, and the fresh, cultural-blending novoandino style of cooking that fills its menu. And it hasn't gone unnoticed. Shortly after opening, 5280 magazine praised the eatery's devotion to bold, yet accessible flavors, placing Limón on its list of Denver's Best New Restaurants in 2006.
The menu's shareable small plates are divided into three sections, each featuring classic dishes as well as refined interpretations of staples from a specific region. Grilled skirt steak with chimichurri sauce and empanadas stuffed with corn and black beans evoke the flavors of Argentina while the ropa vieja's slow-roasted shredded beef stamps diners' passports and pushes them on a plane to Cuba. Even the drink menu transcends borders, with its caipirinhas—Brazil's famously simple cocktail of cachaça, muddled lime, and cane sugar—alongside more familiar margaritas with house-made sweet-and-sour mix.
The exposed brickwork and mocha-brown walls of Limón's dining area create the same sense of warmth and coziness as the menu. Dark wooden tables nestle against high-backed, terracotta-red booths or an avocado-green half wall, while other seats border the front wall's picturesque windows. At night, the sconces, teardrop-shaped pendant lamps, and burning piles of unnecessary travel guides light the space, lending a soft glow to the entire room.
83% of 512 customers recommend
"Very good food, great Gluten Free selection, but don't go there in a big hurry."
"Food was excellent, nice portions. Great and friendly wait staff."
"Great Tapas style menu with a wide variety of South American dishes for all tastes. Service is really good and attentive. Decor could be more bright and inviting..."
"Great Tapas style menu with a wide variety of South American dishes for all tastes. Service is really good and attentive. Decor could be more bright and inviting much like the South American people."

Hey, Stonewall, because of how hard the buffs now are at the early levels, do you believe it would be more beneficial to just skip the buffs are have the person you want to give it to help you kill the buffs, at least for the first few levels? I feel like skipping the buff monsters will help increase clear time and let someone focus more on ganking than farming if they need to. I think they're trying to get rid of the red buff once more in terms of how effective it is in ganks.
Lady Mai
Released Phoenix
All of them are "obvious exceptions to the rule". Xin, jax, olaf, nunu all get steroids or inbuilt sustain. They can all gank with a gap closer or slow. ALL of them clear in under 5 minutes. ALL of them are V.I.A.B.L.E Just because you disagree, doesn't make you right.
Okay I juts woke up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AE0X1mQuaGU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HGrUbPO9Ro two more videos
Mindus Dew
For your Kha'zix run, I think Q would actually be a more beneficial start. As you said, you get 2 Q's off in the time it takes to get one W. With your runes, that would be around 150 extra damage after the machete's passive to the big wolf/blue. The time shaved off of the camps would likely make up for the sustain given by W. Just a consideration. edit: This was addressed on the youtube video. Sorry for double posting. Thanks for the reply
i bet nocturne and udyr still pwn
R2D2 Bot
I messed around with jungle much less then Stonewall but I spent a solid amount of time looking at the mastery/item changes. I think that there have been enough small changes to warrant a rebuild of early jungle patterns. Machete definitely helps many Junglers but I think the way masteries are layed out opens some weird tricks for a jungler. The item changes specifically open some oddities on that first buy. Crystaline Flask is the big one. With it's low gold cost and being built out of the cheap Rejuv and Fairy Charm a Jungler can grab it first back pretty easily. The health returns are weaker then a Pot but it also grants a respectable amount of mana while granting gold efficiency the more you use it. I think that it's too expensive to start Machete/Rejuv or Fairy unless you get Utiltiy masteries. Other odd things I feel may be worth exploring -Early Avarice Blade on a Farm jungler. -Full Offensive tree to get the 31 as it now applies to targets below 50% health which grants some extra wiggle room. -Defensive tree's Arm and Monster focused masteries are really early in the tree. An 8 point dip gets you all the basics...If you wish to add only one more point the turret damage reduction is a pretty sweet idea. --While it's easy to grab all that arm stuff. Durability and Veteran's Scars directly competes with it. Thus Veteran's Scars, Hardiness, and Bladed Armor push you to a minimum 12 defense. Veteran Scars may be a mastery to avoid as a jungler (but get as a laner). -Defenses's later stuff primarily revolves around assisting within fights. Relentless reduces Slow effeciency which does not appear to be the same as tenacity. Thus Relentless + Renacious + Boots of Swiftness could be a great way for someone like Udyr to better handle being hit with slows. -While the % Pen masteries in Offensive are tantalizing. A Jungler might be able to get Pen runes and plan to grab Void Staff, Last Whisper, Black Cleaver, Haunting Guise for pen later if they need it. Thus maybe skipping Offensive or doing a smaller dip could work out. --Butcher is +4 damage vs Monsters. First tier of Offensive is loaded with goodies that Junglers like to have baseline. -Offensive's Wanderer is really nice for moving around the map which is a large part of jungling. Strength of Spirit being a much easier grab is worth consideration. Given the new Manamune and Tear itemization utility might be a method for certain junglers to build a blue independent mid game into a strong late game item. (would mean getting a tear..) --New Vamparism makes it a very efficient talent for Junglers. Spellvamp may gain from Machete and it definitely gains from smite. ---Explorer could allow a jungler to do wolves first, ward their blue, and then go to small camps on the other side to get a higher level before taking blue. If they are also mana independant it could mean giving Mid Blue when they are level 2-3. Even without there may be something to buying an early ward to prevent counter jungling while delaying a big camp. -A full 31 in Utility could offer some intriguing sustain gains for a Jungler as well as some...well utility. Pickpocket could help repay aggresive behavoir either counter jungling or ganking while the MS boosts in general may reduce the time it takes to return to your own camps... I think Trundle specifically may be worth testing with a 0/9/31 or something like a 4/9/27 build. With a focus on CDR, and MS while gaining Lifesteal and anti-monster damage for clear speeds. CDR and MS are his most important tools for Pillar early game. The question becomes mana usage but the Q change and Utilities mana boosts could be enough. Even if not a Crystal Flask would be a good early buy. -Lifesteal or Spellvamp Quits could be really important. --As Machete increases damage by a % +dmg could work better then expected in comparison to AS for faster kills. This could be champion dependent as well. ---Machete's passive did not appear to stack to me so more AS may not actually help it. It could simply be something you keep up and get a set bonus DPS from... ---Machete may raise Smite damage.... -With fairy charm and Rejuv being the meat and potatos items for regen it may be more gold effecient to grab them early rather then spend it all on pots. --Doran's Ring grabs Mana per hit and could really make a difference on mana intense junglers ---Doran's Blade confering life on hit could be a similiar strong early sustain. -Generally since many low gold cost items build into more things mid and late game it might be efficient for a Jungler to stock up as they go. Rather then rush something big grab a bunch of pieces of different things then save up for a big buy. Just throwing some assorted thoughts out as I wait 15 out of my 45 min que timer. When I get on the beta I hope to get some custom games in and iterate on a single jungler to see what the different things feel like. To Stonewall008 directly: Keep up the good work dude!
How does Nunu fare?
Anyone else think that Hecarim Q penalty to minions should be removed? I think is overly redundant that he has his Q damage cripple twice (once with the penalty and once with the AoE resistance of the jungle).

"If you want to become whole, let yourself be partial.If you want to become straight, let yourself be crooked.If you want to become full,let yourself be empty. If you want to be reborn, let yourself die. If you want to be given everything, give everything up." Tao Te Ching
Retreat is a word used in many ways this day and time. The word can be used to speak of retreating from battle, retreating from the enemy, but also in the business world the word has entered the vernacular for another way of planning meetings and/or looking at problem solving in a different way. All religions have examples of great spiritual leaders going away for a time from the secular to focus on the spiritual and while their vocabulary was different than ours, the goal was the same, to get a different perspective on life and on one's chosen path. This "act of retiring or withdrawing one's self," is the equivalent of stepping back from a painting to look at it with new eyes. In retreat, one steps back or steps away from the ordinary in order to see the path anew.
While a modern retreat does not require that you give up all of your possessions, a proper retreat will require that you are willing to give up a bit of time, your electronics and your attachment to unrealistic expectations.These tasks are harder than at first appearance since the modern world has become dependent upon Blackberries, not as fruit for the breakfast table, but as a constant communication tool. Bombarded with sound, the modern woman is unaccustomed to the sound of silence and her own spirit whispering to her. Focused on tasks of obtaining and acquiring the modern man is ill at ease with the simple task of sitting still. Yet, each of these tasks that sound easy, and are yet hard, are important ways that each person can reconnect with the spirit that gives life and that gives direction on a path that is often hard to discern in life.
The three most important ingredients for a spiritual retreat are: (1) a time set aside and guarded to retreat with no interruptions; (2) a safe, quiet place to pray/contemplate/reflect; (3) a spiritual guide to offer a voice, a human presence that sees you where you are. While the world requires a certain business and busy-ness from each person, the importance of taking time to pray or meditate cannot be stressed enough. The time away from the everyday or the problematic can give a better way of looking at the reality of a situation or event and can give the retreatant clarity in order to make decisions that are proactive and compassionate rather than reactive and fear based. Spiritual growth depends upon communication between each person and her higher power or his sacred good. The harried lives of the technological world often displaces true communication that can only be found when one sets aside a time and a place to listen as well as communicate. For that communication to be effective, a safe place freed from daily life is important. A safe place slows the pace, calls the spirit to attention. Without a spiritual director (a.k.a. as guide/guru/mentor) these times away can descend into egoism or unhealthy thought patterns. The presence of a trusted spiritual guide assures that when your thinking becomes distorted, unrealistic or chaotic, the spiritual director can give you questions or insights that will lead you back to the true path or to questions leading the retreatant to a higher path.
The other aspect of the spiritual retreat is that it empowers each person to live daily in the real world. A retreat is not a way of escape from the realities and challenges of life, but a momentary time away to seek a path of discernment; to find meaning and guidance to live the every day life more fully. Thomas Merton, a famous Trappist monk, states:
A life is either all spiritual or not spiritual at all. No man can serve two masters. Your life is shaped by the end you live for. You are made in the image of what you desire.
Merton in this statement does not mean that each person must become a Trappist monk in order to live a life full of spirit. Indeed, the spiritual masters have shown time and again that the strength of spirituality does not come from running away from the reality of the world, but learning to master life in such a way that the sacred and the secular are in balance. A life in a monastery or convent is simply a microcosm of the world outside.
The true challenge in the spiritual life is learning to master one's own self in relation to Spirit and the neighbor. Each person is called to a gifted life and while some are called to the life of a monastery or convent, many are also called to be teacher, engineers, librarians or truck drivers. What matters most is learning to listen to life in such a way that Spirit guides and instructs. A retreat is a place to connect or reconnect with the spirit that guides each person in daily living as gift. The retreat empowers the retreatant to remember her purpose in life. The retreat calls the retreatant to a path he thought was lost as a child. The retreat can be a way of renewal when the path is hard, to refresh the Spirit and renew commitment to a path. Each person is a gift to this world through the sacred gift of Spirit. The purpose of retreat is to take time to remember who you are and whose you are.
The easiest thing to be in the world is you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position.
Leo Buscaglia
In the earliest history of retreat for spiritual growth, the monastery played a vital part as the place for spiritual retreat and always presumed that the retreat would be led by a monk or a nun as spiritual director or spiritual consultant/friend. In the U.S. the main places for spiritual retreat have been the monasteries and convents of the Catholic and Episcopal churches. While many convents and monasteries are dwindling, there are new retreat centers that focus on spiritual renewal that have begun to see the importance of maintaining spiritual growth as a vital part of each person's journey. Each week, we will begin to focus on retreat centers in and around the Charlotte area for you to consider on your spiritual path.
The Oratory is located in Rock Hill, SC just south of Charlotte. The Oratory offers space for group retreats, a day retreat or a longer personal retreat if so desired. From North Charlotte the drive would take an hour and a half and from South Charlotte, the drive is at least 30 minutes. You are encouraged to drive the speed limit or slower to begin a slowing of the pace as you enter retreat.
Your piece on retreat is like a min-retreat in itself. Thanks -- I needed that.
One of the best experiences I ever had was as a Scout, when they left us in the woods with no human contact for 60 hours.
That was a good mental exercise, but you are very right that unplugging totally is good for you for sure in this hyper-wired world.
A key point, indeed. The retreat (meditation, contemplation) can focus us and keep us centered so we're better able to handle the buffeting of the day's winds.
Good job, Robin!
the image is lovely ... it talks to me
Your piece reminded me of Norvene Vest's No Moment Too Small: Rhythms of Silence, Prayer, and Holy Reading. Norvene is of the Benedictine tradition and talks about how to incorporate contemplation into everday tasks. Finding the sacred in the ordinary is a topic dear to my heart, as you can see from this essay I wrote on the word "ordinary" about twelve years ago.
Thanks again for this reminder to savor those moments of solitude wherever we can find them.
—Melissa (also of metaness)

101 year old woman auctions off final quilt
Frances Stauffer began making quilts for the Michiana Mennonite Relief Sale when it began in 1946. Her last charity quilt will be auctioned off on Saturday, September 28, 2013 in Elkhart, IN.
Click on the image below to see an interview.
The Palatine Park District quilt group donated quilts to 6 girls at Northwest Treatment Associates. Not only were the quilts pretty bed covers, but they were used to prompt meaningful discussions. One talk emphasized the fact that each quilt is unique and beautiful, just like each of the girls. Other conversations were about ways the girls can nurture and comfort themselves and how there are people who do bad things, but also people who are good and caring.

Ok, I am extremely excited about my first major homebrewing project. I've been searching craigslist and freecycle for some time now and finally found a very nice, working 20 cu ft chest freezer for FREE! The catch is that there was rotting meat in the bottom of it for about a year (God only knows how this guy left meat in a freezer that was turned off for a year)! The owner said that he cleaned it with soap and water and got all of the solid stuff out of it but it smelled so bad, he couldn't take it anymore and sealed it back up for another year, probably with a small amount of fluid (cleaning solution? meat "juice"?) left in it. Anyway, I picked it up last night and it is now sitting in my backyard waiting until I get off work to clean it up. Any suggestions for how to go about cleaning this bad boy? I was thinking of scrubbing it down with bleach solution several times and letting it dry in the sun...
wow, I missed the sticky up top about cleaning supplies until just now, but I'd still like to hear what you guys (and girls) have to say about this, as this is one of the most disgusting things I've seen in my life! LOL
You can try a massive soak in "oxyclean free" for a week or so It might help. You can also strip the appliance paint inside, and re-coat with rustoleum appliance epoxy. Once established I would go with using arm and hammer to neutralize any further lingering odors while in use.
My mother and step father had something similar happen to them when they got their freezer. From what I remember, my mom used about a gallon of bleach... Baking Soda is also helpful in removing odors if you make a paste with about 1pt baking soda to 3-5 parts water (depending on the consistency you want) It may be easier to take it apart and clean it than to try and clean it as is... of course that depends on if you CAN take it apart and put it back together...
I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy. --Tom Waits You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline - it helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer. --Frank ZappaMy Cheap and Easy Stirplate
That sounds pretty nasty man. I'd definitely be going at that with a spray bottle of strong bleach solution. Stripping the paint and repainting it isn't a half bad idea, either.
Do you guys think I should strip the paint before I clean anything if the smell isn't completely horrendous or should I give it a scrub down with bleach first? I was thinking of scrubbing it down with bleach to remove some of the smell so I could work in there, then stripping the paint off. Then I could soak the thing in oxyclean over the weekend and make sure there is absolutely no smell, and finish up with a coat of rustoleum. Is there any problem with leaving oxyclean or bleach solution for a couple days in the freezer without appliance paint?
Call your local PD and see if they have any enzyme cleaner-the stuff to clean up bloody crime scenes. It's not gonna be cheap, but it will work. Bleach will do most of the work, but you'll always still have a bit of funk. B
hmm I might look into the enzyme cleaner. I can deal with a bit of funk I suppose. Maybe an open box of baking soda in there will help absorb any remaining funk after I have everything up and running.
I dont think the smell can permeate the metal. to some small degree the paint can take on an odor but the real culprit would be anything plastic and or rubber. I would soak the lid most likely the liner is foul smelling and replace the seal. The plastic sorry to say may never smell fresh again ever try to get the pickle smell out of a bucket?

Concierge.com's insider take:
In sheltered, perfectly picturesque Marigot Bay is this beloved hot spot to which people—people with access to boats, at least—flock just for the scene. The atmosphere is gemütlich, especially on special nights like Creole Crab Wednesdays (with vast quantities of local fish and shellfish and a live band) and the Friday jump-up. Order the perfectly grilled lobster and you'll be in heaven.

Mexico Volcanoes: Waterfall & Team Stretch Their Legs on La Malinche Hike
Posted by: Seth Waterfall | January 13, 2013
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Mexico
The first full day of the trip has been a blast. We started off with breakfast at the hotel in Mexico City. While we were eating the military honor guard raised the national flag in front of the presidential palace giving us quite the show.
After that we peeled out of town and headed for the mountains. On our way out we stopped to get some water and one of the guys found a soccer ball that he just had to have. So now we have a team soccer ball.
The drive was real smooth and we pulled into the cabanas at La Malinche before noon.
Once we moved in we set off for a hike. We ended up getting to about 13,700 feet on La Malinche and set a new altitude record for Dave!
We have just returned from the hike and we're all starving. Dinner is in 8 minutes so I've got to go!

Things I liked:Build quality is good. This was easy to site in quickly. Great for small pests out to out about 30'. Things I would have changed:Nothing - What others should know:These type of scopes are not good for distant hunting or sighting in on far away targets. Without magnification, the bullseye can easily be covered by the dot. Ounce you understand the limitations of this type of scope, it does the job. Things I liked:I was surprised by the Quality of it,The snap on lens caps,
the dual red/green dot light,It comes with 11mm and weaver
bases.Easy to install and sight in. Things I would have changed:I think this is a bargain for a $30.00 scope it reminds me of the BsA scopes but cost's half as much. What others should know:Its a good buy for adding a Red Dot and not not breaking the bank for some of your unscoped guns. Things I liked:Holy cats this is awesome!! This was mounted on my son's Umarex Steel Force AR style CO2 BB gun. It is my first experience with a dot sight. How did I not buy one of these sooner??
I am very pleased with the quality of this unit. Some of the other reviews stated dissatisfaction with the dot itself, stating it wasn't "focused" or it was "blurry" or any other number of adjectives. Ours does not suffer from this. Both the green & red dots, at all 5 brightness levels, are just a dot. Again, I could not be happier.
The windage & elevation adjustments are very effective. They simply work, enough said.
The flip-up dust covers are also very well designed & made. Again, they work as they should.
The integrated Weaver/Picatinny mounting rail is also high quality, both in design & construction. Things I would have changed:Nothing. What others should know:I was really surprised that a unit of this high quality could be purchased for this low of a price. My 8 year old son, who is just not old enough or physically large enough to use a tradition scope, is able to use this with a high degree of competency. That alone made the purchase totally justified to me. I rate this a 100%. High quality and low price, what else could I ask for?

How much does Jon Stewart love Pope Francis? As we approach the one-year anniversary of the current pope's election, Stewart dedicated an entire segment of Monday night's Daily Show to the wonderful things the pontiff has done. Is Francis a saint? A modern-day Robin Hood? Perhaps Batman? It was the pope's accidental F-bomb, though, that made Stewart throw partiality to the wind. "OK, that's it — I'm converting," he said. "I love this guy." If you're expecting that love to die out before the 4:30 segment is over, you'll be disappointed.

— Doyle Industries (@DoyleGlobal) March 4, 2015
The Villarrica volcano rises above Pucon, 400 miles south of Santiago. At about 3 a.m., lava started to flow and heavy smoke filled the air, and authorities became worried that mudslides would be caused by melting snow. "It was the most amazing thing I've ever seen," Australian tourist Travis Armstrong told The Associated Press. "I've never seen a volcano erupt and it was spewing lava and ash hundreds of meters into the air. Lightning was striking down at the volcano from the ash cloud that formed from the eruption."
As the volcano activity died down, some residents and tourists returned to Pucon, and by the middle of the day stores were open and public transportation was up and running. No injuries were reported. —Catherine Garcia
In an attempt to find some investors to make his Twitter screenplay Ghost Plane a reality, Aziz Ansari figured he should take advantage of his appearance on Conan and turn it into a table read. Ansari and Andy Richter were into it, but Conan O'Brien's sad attempt at portraying Jennifer Lawrence got him reprimanded by Ansari, who told him, "You are going to have to try harder, Mark Cuban is watching this thinking about whether he should invest!"

If the organizers of Women on $20s have their way, you won't be seeing Andrew Jackson's face on the $20 bill much longer.
An amazing lady whose impact is still felt today through @RedCross. Should our next $20 bill star Clara Barton? pic.twitter.com/ph3ukdLEXe

Instead of the seventh president of the United States, this new group would like to see Eleanor Roosevelt, Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, or Susan B. Anthony staring back on the $20. They're targeting this particular bill because 2020 will mark the centennial of the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote, and also because they aren't fans of Jackson and his authorization and enforcement of the Indian Removal Act of 1830, along with other controversies. Susan Ades Stone, executive director of Women on $20s, told The Washington Post that Jackson wasn't even fond of paper currency, and preferred gold and silver. "The guy would be rolling in his grave to know that every day the ATM spits out bills with his face on it," Stone said.
Women on $20s has a list of 15 women they say would make excellent replacements for Jackson, and as soon as they get 100,000 signatures on their petition it will be sent to the White House. Their plan might not even be that far-fetched — The Post says that in 2013, a similar campaign in Britain was successful and put Jane Austen on the 10-pound note. —Catherine Garcia
Police are investigating reports of gunfire near the National Security Agency's headquarters in Fort Meade, Maryland, on Tuesday evening, NBC Washington reports. A spokesperson for the U.S. Park Police said that the NSA is looking into damage to one of its buildings that appears to have been caused by the gunshots. An NSA spokesperson said no one was injured.
After nearly three decades, Oprah Winfrey is saying goodbye to the Windy City and will close her Chicago-based Harpo Studios by the end of the year.
Chicago has "been everything for me," she told The Hollywood Reporter. "I've spent more hours in this building than I have any other building on Earth.... We were here when there was nothing but hoes and rats on the street, and now it's one of the hottest neighborhoods [in Chicago]. The time has come to downsize this part of the business and to move forward. It will be sad to say goodbye, but I look ahead with such a knowing that what the future holds is even more than I can see."
Winfrey is transitioning the company's productions to OWN headquarters in Los Angeles, and she broke the news to the Chicago team in person on Tuesday. For the past five years, the media mogul has been going back and forth between Hollywood and Chicago, and she decided that the whole team had to be under one roof. About 200 employees are impacted by the closure; they will remain employed through December.
Three Republican lawmakers in Idaho refused to attend the state Senate's daily invocation because it was being given by a Hindu guest chaplain.

— Idaho Public Radio (@IdahoPubRadio) March 3, 2015
On Tuesday, Rajan Zed, president of the Universal Society of Hinduism, shared a prayer in English and Sanskrit that focused on selflessness and peace and was well-received by the senators who listened, The Associated Press reports. The three who sat out — Sens. Steve Vick, Sheryl Nuxoll, and Lori Den Hartog — did so because of their belief that the United States is a Christian nation, Nuxoll said. "Hindu is a false faith with false gods," she told AP. "I think it's great that Hindu people can practice their religion but since we're the Senate, we're setting an example of what we, Idaho, believe." She also stated that she thought a Christian prayer should have been said along with Zed's Hindu prayer.
When the Senate and House in Idaho convene, a prayer is said by the chamber's chaplains from Christian denominations, AP reports, and guest chaplains are also often invited to speak. Zed has delivered Hindu prayers to the U.S. House and Senate as well as several state legislatures.
Women make up only five percent of the U.S. Border Patrol's 21,000 agents, yet last year the number of females trying to cross into the U.S. illegally rose by 173 percent, Fox News reports.
According to agent Yesenia Leon, having a female agent pat search another female is "not necessary... but it is preferred." Fellow agent Marcella Benson added that with more female agents, "we kind of are able to relate to a female [immigrant] a little easier than it would be for a male to relate."
By September, Fox reports, the U.S. Border Patrol plans to hire 1,600 new female agents, and 5,700 women have already applied. The hiring process can take months, and 13 weeks of rigorous training at the academy is required.
Don't have a cool $26 million to buy Lauren Bacall's three-bedroom apartment overlooking Central Park? There's still a chance to get your hands on something owned by the legendary movie star, who died in August.
Items from "The Lauren Bacall Collection" will soon be auctioned off at Bonhams on March 31st and April 1st at their New York galleries. Among the most interesting items available to the public are a statue of late Bacall's late husband, Humphrey Bogart, and a well-traveled steamer trunk engraved with Bogart's initials.

Bacall donated many of her iconic fashion pieces to the Fashion Institute of Technology before her death, and several will be on display there til April 4. Watch a video detailing the Bacall collection below. —Teresa Mull
After months of drama, the House of Representatives on Tuesday passed a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security with no strings attached targeting President Obama's executive action on immigration. The "clean" bill, which funds DHS through Sep. 30, passed by a 257 - 167 vote.
House Republicans had sought to hold DHS funding hostage in an attempt to scuttle Obama's immigration move. But Senate Democrats refused to give in and, with a partial DHS shutdown looming, Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-Ohio) finally cut loose the right wing of his caucus and agreed to bring the Senate's bipartisan DHS bill up for a vote.
Police in Ferguson, Missouri, displayed an overt bias against African-Americans in the course of their law enforcement duties, according to a Justice Department investigation.
The DOJ review found that Ferguson's police department routinely violated the constitutional rights of blacks, disproportionately targeted them for arrest, and often used excessive force against them, according to leaked details of the report. The report also uncovered a 2008 email between police and court employees joking that President Obama would not be president for long because, "what black man holds a steady job for four years?"
The full report, which arose after a white police officer fatally shot an unarmed black teenager last summer, is due out Wednesday.—Jon Terbush

Gregg County — Liberals and conservatives across Gregg County had one thing in common Tuesday night — they were fixed to breaking news reports as results of the presidential election began to come in.
The tea lost some sweetness for a gathering of conservatives in Longview when Fox News network called the election for President Barack Obama around 10:30 p.m.
"It sounds like we're going to get more of the same," We The People-Longview spokesman Bill Hale said. "From what I'm looking at, it looks like we've still got the same president. We've still got the same House (of Representatives), we've still got the same Senate."

Numbers have been drawn for the estimated $400 million Mega Millions lottery jackpot, but there was no immediate word on whether someone is holding a winning ticket.
The numbers drawn Tuesday night were: 11, 19, 24, 33 and 51 with a Mega Ball of 7.
The jackpot is the sixth-largest lottery prize in U.S. history, with a lump-sum option of paying out $224 million.
If no one hits all six numbers, the jackpot will rollover for Friday's drawing and start marching toward $500 million.
Mega Millions changed its rules in October to help increase jackpots by lowering the odds of winning the top prize.
Mega Millions is played in 43 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Hello. I have been trying to organize a Design-a-thon in my town (Milan, Italy). For who is not familiar with this kind of event, it's just a 2-3-days non stop event where local designers (web and graphic) put together their skills and knowledge to create print work and websites for no profit local organisations. It is a way to give back to our community and in the same time to showcase new talents. I was wondering if there is anyone that can help any kind of advice, direction to follow or even better, if there is anyone who has done before. Many thanks angie

Denver, Colorado (PRWEB) September 23, 2014
International, today issued the company's shareholder update report.
Cal-Bay has retained the services of a Los Angeles Securities Attorney Firm for assistance with the removal of the DTC Chill placed by DTCC in 2013. The information requested by DTCC is minimal and removal of the Chill removal is expected shortly. The restriction is a "deposit chill" and causes a prolonged settlement from the market trading, although the stock still traded electronically many brokers do not trade public company stocks that have a DTCC chill in place. Cal-Bay has a history of significant trading volumes prior to the chill, and is expected to be accepted by most brokers again after the removal of the chill.
Cal-Bay has decided in light of the controversy regarding the legality of the Marijuana Industry edibles to remove the company from the sector including the apparel line until such times as Federal Law deems the products legal for resale. Cal-Bay will continue to focus on the financial merchant banking aspect of the business specifically the CB Green Card division.
The "Snap Growth" agricultural and Horticultural division is still conducting tests for the product and hopes to be able to publish the results before the end of the year. Cal-Bay is also still pursuing overseas development of the Pharmacy Vend vending technology designed for use by pharmacies to expedite the dispensing of legal prescriptions in secure environments.
