The PPL is diverse, by definition: we are bloggers, photojournalists, artists and entrepreneurs of varied ages and backgrounds committed to supporting independent media during the 2012 DNC. But let's get a little more specific.
So who are these PPL, anyway? In this five-question series, you'll get the quick-and-dirty on the folks making this thing happen.
Joanne Spataro.
Years in CLT?
I've lived in Charlotte since 1994. My parents are native New Yorkers and we moved to the South when I was a baby. I am a blend of Northern and Southern culture, which puts me in good company with newcomers and lifelong Charlotteans alike. To put it in food terms, a bagel with cream cheese is my first choice, but I can't resist a Bojangles biscuit!
Claim to fame?
I'm a freelance writer, editor and cultural arts buff. My articles appear every Thursday in the ArtsAlive section of The Charlotte Observer. I write about artists, art supporters, and everything in between. As a contributor to Creative Loafing, I cover fantastic events, including the 2012 Human Rights Campaign Gala. I recently appeared on The Paul Brown Show to talk about the Charlotte art scene and my journalism career. I also have a news/entertainment blog called Look It's Joanne.
What are you looking forward to at the DNC?
I can't wait to see elected officials and delegates enjoying our city. I hope to see them eating in our local restaurants and taking in the cultural scene. Since it is "The People's Convention," I hope they will feel free to reach out to the independent media. Of course, I will keep my eyes peeled for famous faces and say hello. I also have orders from my mom, who's a big fan of MSNBC's Hardball, to chat up host Chris Matthews.
Why are you part of the PPL?
I believe in how The PPL empowers the independent media community. As part of this progressive team, I want to drill down to the core issues of the DNC. I'm using my writing and editorial skills to provide our audience with excellent, reliable, and entertaining content. I love The PPL's team environment and how our varied talents combine to achieve the same goal.
I'm hoping viewers will rethink what it means to be an independent writer/artist. Many people see blogging as a solitary activity done in the vacuum of the internet. We are breaking that stereotype by putting diverse bloggers together in one room. Making connections in real space is crucial to continued forward-thinking and sharing new ideas.

Clutch hitting and several timely defensive plays paved the way to Amarillo High's 9-7 District 2-5A baseball victory against Lubbock Monterey on Monday at Sandie Field.
The Sandies (17-10, 7-1) moved into a tie with Monterey (16-9, 7-1) for first in the district. The teams have split their first two meetings, with each winning on its home field. They will meet in Lubbock during the third round-robin of district play.
"There's four games left for us, and now all of them mean something," AHS coach Gary Hix said. "As far as getting ready for the playoffs, we need that pressure on us and we need to be able to play well in pressure situations, and the kids came through today."
The battle for the top spot in the district standings was an up-and-down fight for the Sandies, who faced Plainsmen ace Chad Bettis for the second time this year.
AHS 9, Monterey 7
Records: Amarillo High is 17-10 overall, 7-1 in District 2-5A; Lubbock Monterey is 16-9, 7-1.
Impact: AHS ties Monterey for the district lead.
Key Stat: Matt Ramirez and Beau Stringer drive in three runs each for the Sandies.
AHS trailed early after starter Matt Ramirez allowed three first-inning runs, two on wild pitches. Ramirez got one of the runs back in the bottom of the first with a single that drove in catcher Beau Stringer.
The Sandies pounced on Bettis in the third and took a 4-3 lead on Stringer's RBI-single and Ramirez's two-run single with two outs.
"Chad Bettis is a great pitcher," Ramirez said. "It was a full count, and I was trying to wait back and see what he threw me. I wanted to get a run across by just putting the ball in play, and I saw his curve pretty well and happened to get it to the outfield."
Monterey bounced right back, scoring a run in the third and two in the fourth to regain the lead, 6-4. AHS scored four runs in the bottom of the fourth on the strength of a two-run single by Stringer, who went 4-4 with three RBIs.
"We were a little down after getting behind early," Stringer said. "But we came back and put three on the board, and that got us up. I knew he (Bettis) would be throwing hard, so I wanted to make sure my bat speed was there and be quick to the ball, and that helped me have some success."
After each team scored in the sixth to make it 9-7, it was up to Sandies righty Clayton Cook, who replaced Ramirez in the fifth, to shut the door. With one out, he got some help from his defense when center fielder Mason White, fighting the wind, made a diving catch in the left-center gap.
"I didn't think it would be that tough of a catch," White said. "But it started to drift on me real hard, and I knew I had to get to it or we'd be in some trouble. It's definitely the most clutch catch I've ever made."
The game ended with a much more routine fly ball to center, and White squeezed it for the final out and a crucial victory in the Sandies' first of three district games in three days because of last week's postponements.
Schedule: At 6 p.m. today, AHS plays at Lubbock High and Tascosa plays at Lubbock Coronado in 2-5A games. At 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Tascosa hosts Monterey and AHS hosts Coronado. Districts 3-4A and 5-3A are out of action until Friday because of statewide TAKS testing.
Monterey 301 201 0 - 7 8 2
AHS 130 401 x - 9 13 3
Chad Bettis and Matt Perry. Matt Ramirez, Clayton Cook (5) and Beau Stringer. W: Ramirez 4-1. L: Bettis. 2B-M: Trevor Stringer. A: Beau Stringer, Matt Ramirez, Mason White. Records: Monterey 16-9, 7-1. AHS 17-10, 7-1.

TORONTO — Mark Foote has been named president and CEO of Zellers, the discount division of Hudson's Bay Co. He will report to Jeffrey Sherman, CEO of Hudson's Bay.
Foote, who will start in mid-August, was most recently president and chief merchandising officer of Loblaw Cos., where he oversaw procurement and merchandising functions for all lines of business, marketing, supply chain and information technology.
Before that, Foote was with Canadian Tire Corp. for more than 20 years, including five years as president of the company's retail division.
Two weeks ago, Hudson's Bay was purchased by NRDC Realty, which also owns Lord & Taylor. The company is still searching for an executive to run its department store division, The Bay.
"Mark's DNA is coded with tremendous Canadian retail experience," said Sherman. "He is a seasoned merchant who has helped to grow some of Canada's most beloved retail formats. Mark has first-hand experience working in almost every role within a large-scale retail organization. That depth of knowledge will be an asset to HBC as we move forward with our plan to drive top-line growth at Zellers and re-energize the brand."

Very convenient
By SpaceCoast
from Space Coast of FL
I bought this for when I carry my iPad in my purse because the cover I'm using now is way too bulky and heavy. I can use this and slip it into my purse, satchel, or into the pocket on the back of my car's seat and it will fit, protect my iPad and be a lot easier to travel with. To top it all off, I got it for a song and that's always a good thing!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Sturdy and Stylish
By noviwork

The felt on this product is sturdy and the color and accents are are very attractive. The pocket (about 6") is larger than it looks in the photo. My iPad fits inside this case with my Smart Cover on it, giving me even more protection. Very nice!
iPad3 with cover fits inside well
By hulagirl
from SF, CA
I have an iPad3 with a fold-over cover from apple. The whole unit fits into the air-light sleeve very well. I put my cell phone in the small pocket in the front. All my electronics in one place. Very convenient.
Versatile Pouch
By tundrafoodie
from Northern MN
Nice substantial felt fabric. The front pocket can hold a variety of items.
Great iPad Sleeve
By redinkart
from Denver, CO
I am in love with my Air-Light iPad Sleeve! First of all, I love the grey flannel, it is soft and yet very sturdy. My iPad fits snuggly with it's smart case still attached, which is exactly what I hoped for as the sleeve provides an additional layer of protection while looking pretty terrific! The corner crossover elastics are strong and hold my iPad in place securely. The pocket and pen holder on the front are the perfect "accessory" for this pen and paper/tech loving woman. Being organized and looking sharp is a wonderful combination and this Air-Light Sleeve helps me stay that way beautifully.

It was a cold day in Clarkston where the Asotin High Panthers track team practices, but weather, lack of sleep, and even shin splints can't stop junior Julia Ristau from giving her all on the track. This is one of the reasons she's this week's P1FCU Prep Athlete of the Week.
"That's so cool because I've worked really hard, well my whole team has worked really hard, but it's just cool to get recognition," said Julie.
What a team player! Let's get to know you, Julia. What sports do you play?
"I do track, bowling, volleyball..," said Julia.
Bowling, that's interesting. On the track she runs the hundred, 200, and group relays, but how about outside of sports?
"This year I've been working with the Distinguished Young Women's program," said Julia.
Which is a wonderful program that she helps out with by volunteering around the area. And how are the grades looking?
"I think I have a 3.98," said Julia. "I think I got an A minus back in eighth grade."
Eighth Grade? That shouldn't even count. Just kidding.. and how about the future? Any idea what you would like to do for a living?
"Probably be a medical geneticist," said Julia. "I want to find cures for genetic diseases."
Does that mean you want to make a real life Jurassic Park?
"No, I want to stay away from the cloning of animals," said Julia. "I want to work more towards finding cures and discovering things about it."
A noble cause from a noble student. Have time for anything else?
"I love playing guitar, I love reading, I'm always reading," said Julia.
Asotin Head Track Coach Sal Lopez loves what she brings not only to the team, but to the world.
"She's just a blast to have around," said Lopez. "She's kind of sweet and innocent but you put her on the track, she's a lioness..and she does not like to lose."
She sites her parents as her true heroes, but there's another group who is always there for her.
"My team is so great," said Julia. "We're always so supportive of each other, and they're always there to make you laugh and they're always there to give you a hug."

I'm new to this group, and this is my first MC. We had just found out I was expecting baby #2 earlier in the week and last night I went to the bathroom and my world crumbled. I knew immediately.
I am still having a ton of cramping and I can *feel* the baby passing. It's the worst feeling in the world. I didn't know it was possible to feel this sad or that the physical pain would be this bad.
I go to the doctor on Tuesday to be examined. I'm hoping that will help bring some closure, but I just don't know.
How do you get through something like this? How long does the pain (physical and emotional) last?
I'm sorry this is such a depressing post. I just feel so empty and I don't know who to talk to or what to do to make it better, other than hugging DS extra tight every chance he'll let me.

Donna P. Scott, 61, of Media, a doctor who loved children and dedicated her life to caring for them, died Thursday, Sept. 12, of breast cancer at her home.
Despite the harshness of her medical regimen, she never complained or missed a day of work, her family said. At the time of her death, she was medical director at ProgenyHealth in Conshohocken.
Dr. Scott began working in 2007 at the firm, which manages the cases of premature babies and infants with complex medical issues during their first year of life.
Dr. Ellen Stang, president and CEO of ProgenyHealth, said Dr. Scott became a full-time medical director in 2008 and the company's lead medical director in 2010.

Bollywood's NRI Reel Finally Gets Real
As kids growing up in Texas, my sisters and I would periodically be dragged by our parents to see Indian movies at some cruddy strip mall in suburban Houston. These weren't the bubbly Hindi films of Bollywood, but Malayalam movies, set in the south Indian state of Kerala. They tended to be gloomier than Hindi films, and even longer, with more social realism, and generally more Marxists thrown in. And if that weren't adventure enough for a 9-year-old boy, they tended not to have subtitles, either.
The occasional bright spot would be when the plot was disrupted by the protagonists' relatives from abroad, a family that had left socialist Kerala for the lavish West, and struck it big. By this point in their charmed lives, the thirtysomething mom and dad characters had stopped wearing saris and polyester pants and now dressed, inexplicably, for tennis: picture a darker, paunchier Bjorn Borg, in those snug shorts of the era, but with a bushy mustache and too many wristbands. They talked too much, laughed too loud and were in all other ways, immoderate.
This, in a glimpse, was your NRI, as viewed by those who'd been left behind.
These days, with India in world-conquering mode, the NRI is an outmoded concept. But for about 30 years the Non Resident Indian exerted a powerful grip on the consciousness of India. It was a love-hate affair. The visible success and wealth of NRIs was a source of pride for their countrymen back home - as well as considerable trickle-down wealth (remittances) - but it also bred resentment. That tension is something I encountered firsthand in India, as well as in the changing depictions of expatriate Indians, over the years.
When I was 10, my parents decided they'd had their fill of America and announced we were moving to India. What proceeded was essentially a long, drawn-out sendoff: over the course of many months, we found ourselves rotating through the homes of every third Indian family in Houston, each of whom felt compelled to give us a proper farewell party. But even as we kids tuned out the festivities, retreating to the TV room for episodes of Knight Rider or the Love Boat, we could hear our parents getting heaped with an odd sort of praise: "Good luck! You're so brave!" Translation: You must be out of your mind. For many of these people - all immigrants, just a few years removed from their native country - India had become the land of no return.
If there is one thing I could change about the time my family spent in Chennai in the mid-80s, it would be that irresistible urge to correct people's mispronunciations and grammos. On one hand, it couldn't be helped. My 6th grade classmates insisted on pronouncing "Reggie" - the wiseguy character in the Archie comics - with a hard 'g', so that it rhymed with leggy. "No," I insisted, the lone voice of reason. "It's pronounced 'Rejjy,' short for Reginald." But they dug in, and I walked away, once again the overbearing American. We moved back to Texas after three years in India, but after completing high school and college, I opted to move on my own to Bangalore, to work as a copywriter. This was in the mid '90s, and although liberalization was underway - some of my elders, for instance, were beginning to get cars, or travel abroad - no one suspected that the country as a whole had any potential. So they shared their dreams with the NRI kid: "I love the US. Take me there, nah?" Others, however, were suspicious of my sort. They saw NRIs as a bunch of arrivistes: no matter how much money they made in the West, or how hard they tried to preserve their Indian-ness, they were ultimately neither here nor there.
Apparently, some of these things were going through the heads of Indian screenwriters as well, because in the mid 90s a new movie genre emerged: the NRI film. The springboard for the NRI film was Dilwale Duniya Le Jayenge, or DDLJ, from 1995. The movie has luscious cinematography, an intensely hummable soundtrack and a great on-screen duo in Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol. Their British-Indian characters are young and wild and highly into each other - but only to an extent. When it comes time to tying the knot, Khan rejects the idea of eloping and opts to slowly win the approval of her crusty, patriarchal dad and the rest of her clan, back in Punjab. No matter how Westernized they dress or act, the filmmakers seem to be saying, that essential Indian-ness can't be kept down.
DDLJ was what they call a superhit, and subsequent NRI films did well, too, particularly in the more lucrative diaspora markets. But for some critics back in the old country, they were repulsive.
"K3G is our beloved Bollywood's final surrender to the NRI," wrote Sagarika Ghose in the New Indian Express, in 2001, upon the release of Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham. "The film is designed to make NRIs thankful that the Old Country is as beautiful, as backward and as resoundingly traditional as he wants it to be," she complained, adding that "Indian culture itself stands in danger of being colonised by NRIs, precisely because of their power and success."
Eight years later, Ghose's piece still sounds pretty shrill, but in those days (2001 was the 10th year of liberalization) India didn't feel in control of its image. Aside from the idea of cultural appropriation, there was a concern that wealthy Indians in the US had undue influence on India's politics: namely, that they were heavily promoting and funding a right-wing Hindu agenda. At the same time, the idea that India's economic ascent was secure hadn't caught on. The BJP's India Shining campaign, which essentially branded the nation's newfound confidence (or hubris), wouldn't run for another 3 years.
And by then, at around the mid-point of this decade, things changed. India eventually weathered the back-office phase of its economic development and started sounding more assured, less defensive. Many Indians in the US continued to make phenomenal amounts of money, but an increasing number decided to move back. Some of those moving had been born and brought up in the US, but were attracted to the opportunities in India. They were also drawn to people there with similar worldviews and media habits - a generation whose members were born in different countries but equally tied to things like Facebook. Some are creatively inclined: They're bloggers, artists, filmmakers and writers who keep flitting between India and the West, and will help interpret and frame that axis of activity in the years to come.
For those of us who have stayed back - in this America of Great Recessions - it's hard not to feel a sense of role reversal. "My cousin in Chennai, he was making hardly anything before," we cluck, "and now look: he has FOUR servants. How excessive is that? And he has no problem spending 500 rupees, on a single shot of tequila. It's like they've lost all perspective." And then we plan our next trip to India, wondering if we can slip in an eye exam, maybe get that root canal our insurance doesn't cover - what savings!
As for Bollywood, the NRI film hasn't disappeared so much as evolved. That earlier sense of Indians abroad being a distinct group - separated physically and culturally from the homeland, either permanently nostalgic or slavishly Western - is gone. Indians on the big screen are too sophisticated, too globetrotting to be isolated. Whether they're closing a deal in Melbourne or falling in love in Central Park, there is an implicit sense that they're all part of the same blessed, cosmopolitan stock.
Now and then, however, these films acknowledge another reality: that the streets of the West aren't so gilded, and that all Indians abroad aren't rich all of the time. In the 2007 film Ta Ra Rum Pum, the fabulously successful race car driver played by Saif Ali Khan crashes and finds his career (momentarily) over. Before everything gets better again, his family is forced to sell its posh Manhattan home and relocate to the slums of New York, which in this case, were set in the South Asian enclave of Jackson Heights, Queens. That's where I happen to live, and let me tell you, it hurts.

The Top NRI-Themed Movies
Film industry insiders say the Bollywood strike is supposed to end this week and many of us new global Indians can hardly wait for the reattachment of the celluloid umbilical cord to the motherland. In case the promise drags on as long as, say, "Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna," here are a few of our favorite flicks to focus on NRIs. (Hint: Save yourself three-and-a-half hours and skip KANK.) Like true global Indians, we define Bollywood expansively.
Purab Aur Pachhim
Purab Aur Pachhim was the second directorial venture of actor, producer, writer Manoj Kumar (Bollywood's Clint Eastwood of the 1970s, whose works were loaded with a heavy dose of patriotism). In the highly entertaining P&P, Kumar (always named Bharat) visits the UK to find the Indian immigrant population living a depraved life, where the men dress as hippies (resembling characters from the Sgt Pepper Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover), and women with blond wigs smoke and drink. Finally the virtues and traditions of the East, and the motherland, triumph over the evils of the West. No surprises, but the songs and the characters are memorable. - Aseem Chhabra
Mississippi Masala
For her sophomore venture, after the success of the Oscar nominated Salaam Bombay, Mira Nair took on the subject of diaspora, dislocation and finding home in an alien land. Mississippi Masala (1991) tracks the life of one Indian family, expelled from Uganda during Idi Amin's regime and settling down in America's south to run a motel. The adult daughter of this family (newcomer Sarita Choudhury) meets an African-American carpet cleaner (a young and handsome Denzel Washington). In making her protagonists fall in love, and using her quirky brand of humor, Nair explores, sex, race and class – all explosive issues for the Indian American community.
Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge
One of the earliest Bollywood films touching on the lives of Indians living abroad, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge is as lovable and fresh today as it was in 1995, when it was released. London-born Raj Malhotra (Shah Rukh Khan) falls in love with simple-but-serious Simran Singh (Kajol) during her trip to Europe with friends. Alas, she's engaged to be married to a man in India. Raj pursues Simran to her native village in Punjab and tries to win over her family's blessings for their love. His attempts -- sometimes comic, but always endearing --- make the audience fall in love with Raj. In typical Yash Raj Films' style, the blockbuster is replete with beautiful people and beautiful places, not only in Europe but also in India. One of the many hit songs of the movie is shot with the backdrop of a gorgeous, bright-yellow mustard field of Punjab. The movie tries, and succeeds, to tug at the hearts of Indians living abroad who try hard to maintain their Indian culture seven seas away. It's a Bollywood must-see and changed the NRI formula flick forever, for the better. -- Shefali Anand
Bend It Like Beckham
Good for a laugh even if you aren't a fan of soccer or David Beckham. Eighteen-year-old Jessminder Bhamra dreams of playing the sport professionally. She joins a women's team after her talent is discovered by fellow soccer devotee Jules, played by Keira Knightley. Her Sikh family doesn't approve, though, and would rather she find a husband, get into a good university, and spend more time in the kitchen making rotis. With the help of Jules and soccer coach Joe (portrayed by the handsome Jonathan Rhys Meyers), Jess learns to pursue what she wants. Set in London, the movie is genuinely funny and uplifting without being cheesy. The characters are well developed, and Parminder Nagra does a fine job in playing Jess as a normal but conflicted teenager who has to balance her goals with those of her Punjabi parents. –Anjali Athavaley
Kal Ho Naa Ho
Set in modern-day New York City, this film will appeal even to those who are not fans of old-school Bollywood movies. Naina Catherine Kapur, played by Preity Zinta, has a rough home life. That changes, though, when she meets Aman Mathur (Shahrukh Khan), and falls for him. Of course, a love triangle complicates things. Naina's friend Rohit is in love with her. The plot twist comes when Aman tries to dissuade Naina's feelings by telling her he is married. The reason may make you weep shamelessly, and the result is that the movie feels more complex than your typical "boy meets girl and fights for her" Bollywood plotline. The soundtrack is catchy and includes the upbeat "It's the Time to Disco" and "Pretty Woman" as well as the movie's more heartfelt theme song. –Anjali Athavaley
Salaam Namaste
If you can get over Preity Zinta's shrieking, this movie—also starring a hunky, oft disrobed Saif Ali Khan—is endearing, hilarious and thought-provoking. A medical student who freelances as a radio jockey falls in love with a chef and the two decide to move in together to see if the relationship can work. Both flee their native India for Australia to pursue their dreams and end up moving in together. Zinta's character of Ambar is the NRI's NRI—ambitious, independent, an aspiring surgeon. Khan's Nick is much less responsible—so you can only imagine his reaction to the news that Ambar is pregnant. This movie is among the few Bollywood movies that develops the relationship between the two protagonists, choosing witty dialogue over endless song. The depiction of Australians is bizarre but refreshing to see overseas Indians making friends among the natives, for a change. – S. Mitra Kalita
Monsoon Wedding
This film could have been an Indian version of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" but lacked some of the humor. It excelled, however, at depicting the grand orchestration required to create the perfect wedding for a city girl marrying an NRI. A wedding staged despite the fact that she happens to still be in love (and sleeping!) with her former boss, who also happens to be married. Several subthemes provide interesting twists to the story, including a case of incest and a heartwarming inset love story between a wedding planner and maid. The bride's harried father and younger sibling, an overweight boy mollycoddled by his mother, are characters you are unlikely to forget. – Anusha Shrivastava
Bollywood Calling
If you find the typical Bollywood song-and-dance fare and over-the-top melodrama painful, "Bollywood Calling" (2001) is the perfect movie for you. Director Nagesh Kukunoor gives us an inside peek into the idiosyncrasies of the Bollywood film industry in this comic satire. The movie's central character, Subramanian (Om Puri), son of a make-up man and an assistant in 75 films, finally gets his break to produce his own movie. Subramanian casts Pat (Pat Cusick), a struggling Hollywood actor looking to escape from his personal and professional miseries, and Manu Kapoor (Naveen Nischol), a quintessential Bollywood hero who is egotistical and in constant need of attention and adulation. Subramanian embarks on his mission to produce his first super-duper hit film, a movie that has all emotions, few songs, plenty of fight scenes, and a 'different' story about (what else, but) two brothers separated in childhood – an Indian dacoit and an American engineer, and all that without a written script and any pre-production. The movie lacks a bit in production quality, typical of the early Kukonoor movies, but makes it up for it with witty dialogues and well-defined characters. – Rama Sadasivan
The Namesake
When is the movie ever better than the book? When it's directed by Mira Nair and has some of Bollywood's best in starring roles. Tabu and Irfan Khan ages as beautifully as wine and this adaptation of Jhumpa Lahiri's book becomes their story. Indians overseas will laugh and cry at the familiar, intimate scenes of immigrant life, from the laundry lugged up and down a city block to the middle-of-the-night phone call bearing bad news. – S. Mitra Kalita

The RWS 34P Pro Compact is a shortened version of the 34P and RWS P Pro air rifles. The 34 Pro Compact is built from the same reliable air gun as the Model 34 and 34P. It operates from the same proven break barrel system and has the same all-weather synthetic black stock that's made for both right- and left-hand shooters. The 34P Professional also has an ambidextrous automatic safety, rifled barrel and two-stage adjustable trigger. The difference between the 34 Pro Compact and the 34 is elegance. The 34 Pro's receiver and barrel have a matte finish that provides a rich look. At the front of this 34 Pro rifle is a large muzzle brake that adds heft and a holding point for cocking the spring piston. In the box to top off this German made air rifle is an airgun scope and 1-piece mount. The air rifle scope is a 3-9x40 with an adjustable octave. This Model 34 RWS Pro Compact is shortened with an overall length of just 42-1/8 inches. A compact size rifle that is easier to handle when quickly plinking or aiming at small pests.

WOW!!! Great Rifle!!
July 23, 2016
I own almost 100 airguns to include a Walther LGU .177, RWS DIANA 48 .22 and numerous Hatsan rifles. This RWS DIANA Pro 34 is one of the most accurate rifles I have ever shot. I am amazed a break-barrel can produce this type of accuracy. At 20 yards shooting the JSB 10.34 grain pellets I produced 10 shot groups .20" CTC (SEE ATTACHED PHOTO)
Pros:This is German built and the quality is obvious. This is worth every penny!!! The stock scope is not bad but I upgraded to a UTG 4-16x50 RGB Mil-Dot Reticle. When you cock this gun you realize how solid it is and how tight the tolerances are. This come stock with the T06 trigger, I left it on the stock adjustment and it breaks at a light 1.5 lbs. I can't get over the accuracy!! You literally can stack one pellet on top of another. I set my gun up with side picatinny rails and use split bi-pods. There is not a more accurate break barrel rifle period and this was right out of the box. I only have about 100 pellets through it and this could get even better, although I don't know how. BUY THIS RIFLE you will not be sorry!!!
Cons:The rifle is a little front heavy because of the heavy steel muzzle break. Although with the bi-pods it makes for a nice heavy, solid foundation. There really is no negatives!

Excellent Refurb
December 27, 2015
I picked up the RWS 34p Pro Compact as a refurb. With my coupon code I got it for 179.00 and I couldn't possibly be happier. Gun arrived without a scratch or mark on it. I mounted the supplied scope (which isn't terrible but I have a higher power Hawke on the way). After cleaning the barrel I started shooting. Smooth cocking effort, no typical dry honking RWS's are known for. 5 shot .38" CTC at 20 yd groups right out of the box. I can't imaging it shooting better and I haven't even got 200 shots through it yet. It had a hint of twang but I took care of that with some heavy tar on the spring. If another RWS refurb comes up I will be adding it to my collection My only gripe is the quality of the synthetic stock. While it looks good, it feels cheap. My Walther Terrus synthetic puts the RWS to shame. The Walther feels like wood painted black, rock solid.
Pros:German quality, German accuracy, T-06 trigger is my favorite yet.
Cons:Stock is cheap feeling. Scope is adequate for starting out but anyone with knowledge will drop a better one on the gun fairly quickly.
4 Stars

Bought a refurb TO6 and have about a tin of pellets thru it. Very accurate, German quality. Stock was a little dinged up but not a deal breaker.
Pros:TO6 trigger, proven platform, German engineering, very accurate.

Gr8 knockdown
October 13, 2013
Received this rifle roughly 10 days ago. I bought this rifle so i can "take care" of my squirrel problem in the attic. Truly amazing the accuracy and knock down punch firing Gamo Red Fires. The weight and feel of this rifle is very good, like the real thing. Impressive. and it took no time to dial it in for accuracy.
Pros:Accuracy Set-up quality powerful

Very impressive.
January 15, 2012
I purchased the refurbished model / version which came with an RWS brand 3-9 x 40 scope and T 05 trigger. Stock finnish is very smooth with older style checkering. I was initially going to go with the RWS 34 model but had concerns over reported "hold sensitivity" then this model came available as a "refurb" at an awesome price so I immediately jumped on the deal. No cosmetic issues which would show that it is a refurb BUT the scope cover was cracked as it had been wrapped in paper. I've read other's concerns over their packaging, have bought three rifles from them and still have issued with the packaging. With that said, the metal finish on this rifle is excellent and shows good attention to detail. The finish is non glare, and the flat portion on top of the chamber is grooved so as not to create a glare when the shooter sights in. The barrel shroud weighs nocely and offers enhanced stability when aiming. The trigger is very smooth. I am please with my purchase as I wanted to add a German rifle to my collection and am every bit glad that I did! For future purchases, I will be highly inclined to go with well built and reputable USA or German made guns.
Pros:Great German quality.
Cons:Just the packaging otherwise no issues or concerns with the rifle.

RWS 34P Pro Compact .177 Caliber Air Rifle
October 27, 2010
I just ordered this air rifle and received it in the mail 3 days ago. I absolutely love this thing. I mounted the scope and started firing some pellets through it. I fired it at a piece of ply wood with a piece of styrofoam for backing, and a concrete wall for extra backing. the thing fired the pellet through the wood and extra backing, into the concrete wall !!!! this rifle is heavy and feels like the real thing. I just love the tactical feell and look you can definately tell RWS makes quality air rifles. This is my first RWS air rifle, and I am very impressed with it. Go buy this monster!
5 Stars
April 15, 2010
Just picked one up, 30 pellets later it is spot on. Adjusted the trigger a little, lubed up the barrel, shot several different pellet types and I love it. 1/2" groups at 25 yards prone position with a rest. I am glad with my purchase and my other air rifles are deligated to the garage.

14 Amazing Carrot Recipes for FallYolanda Machado
I live in a home full of picky eaters. More often than not my husband is content to eat a meat and potatoes plate which make my daughter more than happy cause she is fiercely anti-veggie. But I have discovered that they aren't necessarily anti-carrot. Carrots are full of nutrition. They are an excellent source of vitamin A, providing more than 200% of your daily requirement in just one carrot. Carrots also are loaded with beta-carotene, a compound that is naturally converted to vitamin A when consumed [source] and also have a light, sweet flavor that both kids and adults love. The problem is finding creative ways to add it into our meals. In California, carrots are harvested mainly in the spring and fall and since most of the kids went back to school here already, it gave me a reason to seek out some amazing carrot recipes to try at home.
14 Amazing Fall Themed Carrot Recipes 1 of 15
The leaves will be turning soon and foods will be changing from salads to heartier meals. While carrots are grown all year, the dishes that can be made from one season to another vary. Click through to see 14 amazing recipes that you can make at home this fall!
Cheesy Scalloped Carrots 2 of 15
This is a great way to get your anti-veggie eaters to eat a few carrots. Smothered in cheese and baked like scalloped potatoes, your kids will be shouting for seconds. See recipe at: I Heart Eating
Rice Carrot Pudding 3 of 15
A delicious way to sneak some nutrition into a scrumptious rice pudding dessert. The revamped version of a traditional South Asian sweet dish would be perfect to eat at the end of the day. See recipe at: Kiran Tarun
Moroccan Spiced Sweet Potatoes and Carrots 4 of 15
They may look like french fries, but they are everything but. Amped up Moroccan Inspired flavor with spices that will have you dreaming of an exotic escape as the season turns crisp at home. See recipe at: Gourmande in the Kitchen
Creamy Carrot Risotto 5 of 15
I am always a sucker for a good risotto. The melt in your mouth goodness with the touch of sweetness from carrots makes this a winner in my book. See recipe at: Heather Christo
Herb Roasted Carrots 6 of 15
Whenever I get stuck on what to make as a side, I just throw some stuff in the oven and toss some salt and pepper and call it a day. This herb mixture is just as easy and tastier and transforms carrots into the side dish everyone wants. See recipe at: A Full Measure of Happiness
Sweet Carrot Pie 7 of 15
This fall switch out the usual pumpkin pie with this sweet carrot pie. Rich and packed with flavor, no one will ever guess it's actually made with carrots! See recipe at: Gluten Free Happy Tummy
Carrot Soup 8 of 15
One of my favorite things to do in the fall is curl up with a cup of soup in my chaise and just revel in the brisk chill that starts to set in. While most thick soups can be full of calories and fat, this carrot soup is as healthy as it is delicious. See recipe at: Our Family World
Carrot Cheesecake 9 of 15
Ever wondered what would happen is carrot cake and cheesecake met and got married? Just me? Ok. Well.. this would be the deliciously paired result. This cake is all for me. See recipe here: Beantown Baker
Spicy Pickled Carrots 10 of 15
At nearly every taco shop in Los Angeles the side options are either: raw radishes and onions (spring/summer) or a pickled carrot and jalapenos mix (fall/winter). Most places just put out a big plastic container and give you your own plastic cups to fill. We usually have to ask for extra cause it's so good. Not for the weak but definitely worth your while. See recipe at: Budget Bytes
Carrot Spaghetti 11 of 15
This is a great recipe to try if you have a special julienne peeler. When I first saw it, I really thought they were pasta noodles in a carrot sauce, but they are actually carrot noodles. See recipe here (it's in Polish, but Google Translator is awesome): Kitchen Fantasies
Root Vegetable Macaroni and Cheese 12 of 15
A recipe adaptation that makes me happy inside. My daughter and I are big mac & cheese fans, but I have lots of difficulty getting her to eat her veggies. What better way than to hide them in one of our favorite foods! See recipe: Taste and Tell
Carrot Oatmeal Muffins 13 of 15
This yummy snack can be made to be eaten on the go or as an easy breakfast in the morning school drop off rush. Heart and healthy, best way to eat on the run. See recipe at: Mmm...is for Mommy
Almost Paleo Carrot Cookies 14 of 15
Paleo or not, these cookies sound divine. I'll be making these and sending them for school snacks, well...whatever's left after I take some. See recipe at: Horrible Housewife
Fruit and Veggie Juice 15 of 15
Over the past couple years I have seen a growing trend in stores when it comes to kid's juices...most are now including veggies! What better way to make sure our little picky eaters get their veggie helping. Save money and make your own with this recipe. See recipe at: Mommy Moment

The blacked out left eye seems out of place to me.
Chin looks like it wasn't shaded enough
Forehead looks like a flag pole shade kinda cool looking.
I think red would work better instead of the blue near the bottom or just nothing there at all.

One of the biggest rivalries in Texas Panhandle volleyball takes place on the second day of the season.
The new UIL realignment restructured the Amarillo volleyball landscape, dropping Amarillo High into Class 4A and moving Tascosa into a nine-team district.
Tascosa's larger district forces District 2-5A to begin play earlier than some other districts, leaving little room for non-district matches early in the season.
The only time AHS and THS could find to play came on the second day of the season. Amarillo High coach Jan Barker knew the game had to be played. And it will be, at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at Tascosa.
"It wasn't something either one of us wanted to do so early, but we certainly wanted to get the game in," Barker said. "Historically, that's been the biggest rivalry we know around this area, and that's important for both of our programs and the community. We felt we really needed to play the game no matter when it happened to be."
Tascosa coach Scott Sandel likes the early test, knowing district will be a tough beast to tame.
"The Amarillo High match is always a big match and the kids are always excited to play," Sandel said. "With Amarillo High dropping to Class 4A it changes the importance of the match. It's an early match and both teams are going to be a work in progress."

Today in the United States, by the simple act of feeding ourselves, we unwittingly participate in the largest experiment ever conducted on human beings. Each of us unknowingly consumes genetically engineered food on a daily basis. The risks and effects to our health and the environment are largely unknown. Yet more and more studies are being conducted around the world, which provide even more reason for concern. We are the oblivious guinea pigs for the wide-scale experimentation of modern biotechnology. GMO OMG tells the story of a father's discovery of GMOs and the effect they might have on his three young children, the future of food, and the environment as a whole.

A "putzel" is a "little putz" and for Walter Himmelstein, being known by that nickname doesn't bode well for an exciting life amongst the go-getters of New York City.

Until, that is, his married uncle takes up with the vivacious Sally, throwing Walter's succession plans into disarray…

Residential real estate has its own version of the 1968 cult classic Night of the Living Dead. Call it Zombie Foreclosures.
RealtyTrac, a search engine that collects real estate data nationwide, defines the phenomenon this way: "properties that have started the foreclosure process but have never been foreclosed and the homeowner has vacated."
One in five U.S. homes in foreclosure, or 141,406, are zombies, it says.
Andrew Frank, of Long & Foster Real Estate in Blue Bell, said he's been told many zombies rose from the "robo-signing" era of 2008 through 2010, when some mortgage servicers failed to read foreclosure documents before submitting them to courts or other agencies for action.

Cubs Visit Bahstan in 2011Submitted by Rob G. on Wed, 09/15/2010 - 12:57pm
The 2011 schedule is out and the Cubs get a mix of the AL East and Central during interleague play. Ben Affleck* can mug for the cameras between May 20-22(fine by me as long as he brings his wife with him) as the Cubs wrap up a 7-game road trip with a trip to Fenway. Good luck getting tickets. It's the first Cubs trip since Babe Ruth beat them in the 1918 World Series.
*Go see "The Town" though, 90% of it is excellent.
Speaking of May, the Cubs get 17 home games that month and 11 on the road, which seems like some sort of important milestone in how the season should be going.
Other highlights include:
- The season starting on a Friday(April Fool's to be exact) and it will be the season and home opener against the Pittsburgh Pirates, followed by a three game set versus the Diamondbacks. Hope it's warm.
- Cubs wrap up their home/road series for the year versus the D'Backs and the Rockies in April.
- The friendly home May schedule turns quickly into a 10-game road trip through St. Louis, Cincy and Philadelphia.
- The Yankees visit Wrigley Field June 17-19, then the Cubs "travel" to play the White Sox and Kansas City Royals. They'll finish up their home and home with the White Sox the first weekend in July.
- The season ends with three at St. Louis and then three in San Diego with the final game on Wednesday, September 28th. The shift in starting and ending days of the season is an attempt by the league to make sure the post-season doesn't go into November again.
The rest of the Cubs news fit to print after the jump...
