IP Surveillance & network integration
Imagine being able to access it remotely across sites? Imagine being able to access it through your mobile phone and see video feeds? Imagine having IP Surveillance, voice, data, video, and mobility on the same IP network? Very cool stuff.
Saw the Cisco Nerv truck with some cool solutions that really took physical security to the next level. Have any of you seen some of this new technology?

Naval Academy Celebrates Asian Pacific American Heritage Month
POSTED ON: Tuesday, May 6, 2014 11:33 AM by LT TENG OOI
The Naval Academy held an Asian Pacific American Heritage banquet at the Naval Academy Club with special guest Rear Adm. Raquel C. Bono, director of the National Capital Region Medical Directorate of the Defense Health Agency.
Asian Pacific American Heritage Month is a celebration of the culture, traditions and history of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the U.S. and helps raise awareness of their contributions to our nation.
According to the Library of Congress, the observance is in May "to commemorate the immigration of the first Japanese to the United States on May 7, 1843, and to mark the anniversary of the completion of the transcontinental railroad on May 10, 1869. The majority of the workers who laid the tracks were Chinese immigrants."
In her speech, Bono addressed the importance of understanding the worth and strength of diversity and inclusion in the Navy. Bono originally wanted to go into nursing but her father inspired her to become a doctor and showed her there were no boundaries on what she can do.
Bono became a medical doctor through the Navy's Health Professions Scholarship program. She earned her medical degree at Texas Tech University and began her military career with a general surgery residency at naval hospital in Portsmouth, Va. She was the first woman to graduate from the program.
"What I enjoyed about being in the Navy was that I always felt confident that my ability to advance was going to be based on my capabilities and my performance. I felt that I had an equitable opportunity to succeed," she said.
Citing her own experiences, Bono strongly encourages students to apply for the Health Professions Student Program as a way of entering the medical profession.
"My experiences in the Navy have made me a better doctor, a better leader, and a better person, while allowing me financial independence during medical school," she said. "I got paid to go to medical school, while serving my country and learning how to be a better leader."
Asian Pacific Americans have helped defend the United States and for those currently serving in the U.S. military, and they are continuing this tradition by carrying the torch of freedom and keeping our nation safe.

I know you bike T.O. and you know that you bike T.O., so then why do so many councilors claim that no one in their wards bicycles?
Using Joe's design, I've created a few hundred 1.5″ round stickers with the I Bike T.O. logo and I'll be handing them out all summer. Because, if the mere sight of a million or more bicycle in Toronto doesn't convince people that we do bike Toronto, maybe a sticker declaring it will help!
Follow me on Twitter and find out what events I'll be attending, stickers always in hand.
Or send an e-mail to duncan [dot] bikingtoronto [at] gmail [dot] com and I'll get some to you.
And, you can also let everyone know that you bike T.O. by purchasing an I Bike T.O. t-shirt from the BikingToronto Store. 100% of profits go to charities that keep Toronto moving.

ESCAP focuses on a number of areas of economic and social development in Asia and the Pacific. One of these is trade and investment – a vital engine for growth and integration. Recent decades have seen an enormous expansion in trade and investment flows in the Asia-Pacific region. Regional economies are increasingly part of global value chains. This has helped foster the economic dynamism that has lifted many from poverty and spread prosperity more widely. At the same time, however, too many individuals and communities remain excluded from the benefits of trade and investment.
While transport has been an essential element in the rapid growth and economic development of Asia and the Pacific, the sector is now at a crossroads more than ever before. Rocketing demand for transport services is putting extreme pressure on existing infrastructure at a time when public budgets are constrained and awareness about the negative externalities of transport activities is growing. The challenge is therefore to ensure that today's transport policies and investments will contribute to a sustainable and inclusive development path for the future.
Trade has the potential to contribute to economic growth and to more and better jobs. Whether trade contributes to growth that is inclusive, in the sense that all people can contribute to and benefit from growth triggered by trade, is likely to depend on country specificities including institutional pre-conditions and policies applied in domains other than trade. This paper identifies specific challenges for making trade inclusive and identifies ways for dealing with them.
The Cocoa Grower's Association (CGA) in the Republic of Vanuatu is a fundamental example of how the organization of local cooperatives can make a significant impact and create an environment for inclusive trade. This paper will review a case study of implementing a governing association that coordinates cocoa cooperatives in Vanuatu, and which is focused on organizing the production and trade in the region, as a method to highlight key lessons learned and potential for scalability in furthering inclusive trade goals.
This paper studies the linkages between international openness and inclusive growth, understood as better access to productive employment and entrepreneurship, the reduction of poverty and a more equal income distribution. It introduces the notion of inclusive trade as the linkages through which international integration can contribute to inclusive growth. Four dimensions of potential linkages are analyzed, namely: (i) aggregate employment and its distribution, (ii) aggregate productivity, (iii) poverty and income inequality, and (iv) equal opportunities.
The 2013 ESCAP Population Data Sheet for Asia and the Pacific focuses on maternal health. In light of the current challenges in achieving MDG 5 on maternal health, indicators such as births attended by skilled health personnel, maternal mortality ratio, unmet need for family planning and adolescent fertility rates are provided.
This report highlights that Asia and the Pacific has made good progress towards the MDGs, through the region will still need to make greater efforts if it is to meet some important targets. Now it has the opportunity to set its sights higher when considering priorities for a post-2015 framework.
The Millennium Development Goals have helped rally political support for global efforts to reduce poverty and achieve sustainable human development. The Asia-Pacific region has achieved remarkable progress on the MDGs, particularly on reducing income poverty; however, it still has a significant 'unfinished agenda'. People in the region continue to face major deprivation, along with many new and unaddressed development challenges. As the finishing line for the MDGs approaches, this report articulates Asia-Pacific aspirations for a post-2015 development framework.
This book, co-published by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) and the Asian Development Bank (ADB), provides guidance for the implementation of trade facilitation measures and reforms in Asia and the Pacific. It attempts to bridge the gaps among policy makers, practitioners, and economists by outlining operational guidance on how to assess the status of trade facilitation, what measures and reforms are necessary, and how to implement them at the national and regional levels.
The Asia-Pacific Development Journal (APDJ) is published twice a year by the Macroeconomic Policy and Development Division of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP).
The primary objective of the APDJ is to provide a platform for the exchange of knowledge, experience, ideas, information and data on all aspects of economic and social development issues and concerns facing the region and to stimulate policy debate and assist in the formulation of policy.

These versatile soufflés can be served for breakfast or lunch, or as a side dish for dinner.
Leave a Review
Kids wanted pancakes, but I suggested we try something different. Last minute brunch equals poor planning. So, no leeks, no green onions, and only 3 eggs. It still turned out good - I would suggest a bit more salt, maybe sauteed with the onions, and a bit of red pepper flakes. It is a bit flat in taste, but I think some spice can help with that. Also, I only had old fashioned grits, so I ended up cooking more than 5 minutes - closer to 20.
Interesting texture. Very "tweakable" recipe.
Very tasty. I made everything ahead to bring to our annual brunch at a friend's house and just beat the egg whites last minute to fold in to the pre-prepared grits mixture. I used red onions, scallions, and vidalias. I carmelized the onions in a cast iron pan and added to the cooked grits. I seasoned both grits and onions with salt and pepper. Used sharp cheddar and pepper jack cheese. Next time I will add something else maybe spinach or crumbled sausage, but very good as is.
Loved it! More than the sum of its parts. Pretty easy, too.
Great, tweakable recipe. I made do with what I had... Red onion, shallot, and chives, grated cheddar and gruyere, mix of low fat milk and half and half. Added pepper, and accidentally tossed the egg whites so only used yolks - and it was still fantastic. This one's going in the regular rotation. Maybe with some bacon next time...
This is an outstanding recipe. I made it for an Easter brunch and everyone loved it. I followed the recipe exactly and will add this to my keeper list.
Turned out great! The grits really give it a nice density. I didn't have all the ingredients on hand, so I tweeked it. Used fennel instead of leeks. Used the fennel greens in place of green onions. Used a blend of chedder and jack and added a can of diced green chilis. I think it would be even better if I had used all the different onions the recipe calls for. My bag of grits didn't say quick cooking, but they seemed to work just fine.
This soufflé was absolutely delicious! I followed the recipe to the letter with one small variation: I baked the soufflé in a 1.6 liter soufflé dish, cooked it for the recommended time, and it came out beautifully! It was a huge hit with my husband and children, even my picky eater! Served it as a light lunch with bread and salad - clean plates all around! I disagree with some other reviewers that the cheese was lost in this. To the contrary, we found the slight heat of the pepperjack to be discernibly noticeable without being overwhelming. Very impressed with this recipe.
To open up a new thought for others who love cheesey grits souffles all the time, not just special occasions: I make single or double servings in the microwave. First cook the grits (real stone-ground, yellow or hominy, not that 'quick' nonsense) on 50% power for about 10 minutes in a covered but vented MW-safe container - should be a 3-cup container for a single serving (1/4 c grits and 1 1/4 c milk or water). Let sit 5 minutes. Stir and cook more (add a bit more water) if needed. Shouldn't be crunchy but should still be a little firm. Then stir in cheese, onion if using, and unbeaten egg white - I don't use yolk. MW on high for 3-4 minutes til set. It isn't as elegant as the oven-baked version, but it's a lot less labor intensive and hits the spot for a quick breakfast or lunch. You could even pass it briefly under a hot broiler if you want the brown top.
Loved it & will definitely make again. Cheese on top got a bit too brown; will add last 10 mins next time. Not a fan of instant grits; will probably make with leftover stone ground yellow grits next time. Makes 6-8 side dish servings.

Do Lab Rats Still Have A Use?
Will Knowledge of the Human Genome Eliminate the Need For Animal Experiments?
Student Exploration
Do Lab Rats Still Have A Use?
Now that the Human Genome project (http://www.ornl.gov/sci/techresources/Human_Genome/home.shtml) has been completed, people are questioning whether we still need "model species" to study human health. A "model species" is a species that scientists use for experiments either because they have faster generation times than humans or they are cheaper to use than humans or the specific experiment is considered unethical to conduct on humans because of possible effects on test subjects. Given the advances made through the Human Genome Project (http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/human-genome-project-tenth-anniversary/) people are wondering if it is now possible to learn about genes and gene actions and how these affect human health through full genetic sequencing and human cells rather than experimenting on animals.
This may seem like an easy question to answer (I don't know any scientists who like experimenting on animals). But these model species have provided us with lots of information and saved many human lives. Much of what we know about cancer came from early studies of yeast, studies with fruit flies (Drosophila) have provided vital information about human developmental pathways, and studies with zebrafish, frogs, rats, and mice have provided crucial basic information about cell functioning and animal development. We owe these model species a tremendous debt for all this information, but is it time to retire them?
While people are enthused and optimistic about the potential benefits of gene mapping for human health, scientists have pointed out that knowing the location and frequency of a gene is not the same as knowing what the gene does or how it interacts with other genes. This can be likened to knowing where a town is on a map but knowing nothing about the people who live there or their relations with other towns. Because of the complex interactions that happen within organisms, many scientists are reluctant to abandon model species. They feel given the complexities of the questions they are facing it is too soon to abandon model species for Petri dishes.
Extension Investigation
If you need help scratching a mental itch, use the resources below:
- Why is a fast generation time a valuable characteristic in a model species?
- Why is size of a model species important?
- Given the sequencing of the human genome
- Do you feel model species are still necessary? Be specific for the reasons behind your opinion.
- Do you feel some animals should be used as model species but not others? Be specific for the reasons behind your opinion.
- Why did Gregor Mendel use pea plants instead of mice for his experiments?

Tilghman informs students of medical examiner results, Sept. 23
Posted September 23, 2004; 11:16 a.m.
Princeton University President Shirley M. Tilghman informed undergraduates this morning of the Mercer County medical examiner's determinations related to the death of Melissa M. Huang. According to the medical examiner, Huang died on Sept. 5, 2004, after ingesting cyanide. The examiner did not make any finding about the circumstances under which this occurred, although police officials earlier ruled out any criminal activity.
"Melissa's parents were notified last evening and the medical examiner will be releasing this information to the press later today," Tilghman wrote. "I know that all of you join me in feeling an enormous sense of sadness and loss, and in expressing our deepest condolences to Melissa's family and friends. Students who would like to talk with counselors are encouraged to contact the Counseling and Psychological Services unit [(609) 258-3285] at the University Health Center. As I hope you know, there will be a memorial service for Melissa on Oct. 17 at 2 p.m. in the University Chapel. I know she touched the lives of many members of this community, and will be long remembered."
Huang, 19, was a student in the School of Engineering and Applied Science. Survivors include her parents, Leon Keng-Lock Huang and Sauling Huang; a brother, Kevin, and a sister, Alina, all of Mechanicsburg, Pa.
The University's Wilson College community has established a fund in memory of Huang. The fund was created with the approval of Huang's family, who will be involved in deciding how to use any contributions. Those interested in honoring her can send donations through the University to: Melissa M. Huang '07 Memorial Fund, Princeton University, c/o Nancy Kalmikoff, Gift Records, P.O. Box 5357, Princeton, NJ 08543-5357.

Shares of networking technology vendor Ubiquiti Networks (UBNT) today closed down 2 cents at $44.75 despite a couple of positive views from the Street.
The immediate news prompt today was the company's announcement that it signed an agreement with distributor Ingram Micro (IM) to sell its products in the U.S., including "airMax," "airFiber," and "EdgeMax."
But the shares also seemed to be spooked by a large block trade before market open of 1.5 million shares that had been priced at $43.35, below yesterday's closing price of $44.77.
JMP Securities's Erik Suppiger, reiterating a Market Outperform rating, and a $53 price target, writing that perhaps some investors over-reacted to the block trade this morning:
We believe the stock is down today due to: 1) Summit Partners is marketing a block of 1.5 million shares, and 2) confusion related to the Ingram Micro relationship. Regarding Summit Partners, we believe Summit has nearly liquidated its entire position with just 800K shares left. Accordingly, we don't expect it to create volatility in the stock as it has in the past.
Regarding Ingram, Suppiger wrote that the deal "will provide critical access to enterprise resellers – a channel that UBNT needs to develop as it grows its WLAN business – and reflects Ubiquiti's progress in refining its logistics operations."
He thinks Ingram gives the company increased credibility:
We understand the agreement between Ingram and Ubiquiti is consistent with Ubiquiti's other distribution partners in terms of very limited discounts and return rights. Accordingly, we feel the agreement reflects IM's recognition that Ubiquiti is emerging as a significant vendor in the enterprise and it brings greater credibility to Ubiquiti from a channel partner perspective as well as an investor perspective.
Suppiger is modeling fiscal Q2 revenue of $134 million and EPS of 45 cents, ahead of consensus for $133.4 million and 44 cents.
Raymond James's Tavis McCourt, who has an Outperform rating on the shares, wrote of the deal that it "could serve as a catalyst to boost sales of its enterprise WLAN product, UniFi, in particular."
In enterprise WLAN, Ubiquiti competes with Cisco [Systems (CSCO)], Aruba [Networks (ARUN)], and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), among others, all of which have distribution agreements with Ingram Micro. Notably, this announcement comes on the heels of Aruba's own distribution agreement with Ingram Micro in October.
Trends for Juniper Networks (JNPR), whose shares he rates Market Perform, suggest expectations for last quarter are "reasonable," although "much of the focus will be on the new CEO and any changes in strategy."

Nutrition is important for everyone because food gives our bodies the nutrients they need to stay healthy, grow, and work properly. Foods are made up of 6 classes of nutrients, each with its own special role in the body:
Having good nutrition means eating the right types of foods in the right amounts so you get these important nutrients.
There are no special diets, or particular foods, that will boost your immune system. But there are things you can do to keep your immunity up.
If you are underweight--or you have advanced HIV disease, high viral loads, or opportunistic infections--you should include more protein and extra calories (in the form of carbohydrates and fats). You'll find tips for doing this in the next section.
If you are overweight, you should follow a well-balanced meal plan such as the ones presented on the U.S. government's Choose My Plate website (http://www.choosemyplate.gov/).Being overweight puts extra stress on your body and increases the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes.
Weight loss is a common problem for people infected with HIV, and it should be taken very seriously. Weight loss can be caused by HIV-related infections or conditions or by untreated HIV itself. Losing weight can be dangerous because it makes it harder for your body to fight infections and to get well after you're sick.
People with HIV often do not eat enough because:
To keep your weight up, you will need to take in more protein and calories. What follows are ways to do that.
Protein-rich foods include meats, fish, beans, dairy products, and nuts. To boost the protein in your meals:
The best way to increase calories is to add carbohydrates and some extra fat to your meals.
Carbohydrates include both starches and simple sugars.
Starches are in:
Simple sugars are in:
Fats are more concentrated sources of calories. Add moderate amounts of the following to your meals:
When you become ill, you often lose your appetite. This can lead to weight loss, which can make it harder for your body to fight infection.
Here are some tips for increasing your appetite:
Drinking enough liquids is very important when you have HIV. Fluids transport the nutrients you need through your body.
Extra water can:
Many of us don't drink enough water every day. You should be getting at least
8-10 glasses of water (or other fluids, such as juices or soups) a day.
Here are some tips on getting the extra fluids you need:
Note: If you have diarrhea or are vomiting, you will lose a lot of fluids and will need to drink more than usual.
For more information, see the Side
Effects section.
Our bodies need vitamins and minerals, in small amounts, to keep our cells working properly. They are essential to our staying healthy.
Even though vitamins and minerals are present in many foods, your health care provider may recommend a vitamin and mineral supplement (a pill or other form of concentrated vitamins and minerals). While vitamin and mineral supplements can be useful, they can in no way replace eating a healthy diet, which is the best source of the vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients your body needs. Large doses of vitamins and supplements are usually not necessary and, in fact, can be potentially toxic as well as expensive.
If you are taking a supplement, here are some things to remember:
The following is a table of some vitamins and minerals that affect the immune system.
Paying attention to food and water safety is important when you have HIV, because your immune system is already weakened and working hard to fight off infections.
If food is not handled or prepared in a safe way, germs from the food can be passed on to you. These germs can make you sick.
You need to handle and cook food properly to keep those germs from getting to you.
Here are some food safety guidelines:
Many symptoms of HIV, as well as the side effects caused by HIV medicines, can be alleviated by using (or avoiding) certain types of foods and drinks.
Below are some tips for dealing with common problems facing people living with HIV. You should also look in the Side Effects section for more information.
Discuss with your care provider how best to take your medications to avoid nausea--some HIV medicines (for example, protease inhibitors) should be taken on a full stomach, whereas others (for example, efavirenz) should be taken on empty stomach.
You may feel that many things are out of your control if you have HIV. But you can control what you eat and drink, and how much. Good nutrition is an important part of your plan to stay well.
Remember, there is no one "right" way to eat. Eating well means getting the right amount of nutrients for your particular needs. Your doctor can usually refer you to a dietitian or nutritionist who can help design a good diet for you.
For general guidelines on good nutrition, you can visit the U.S. government's Choose My Plate website (www.choosemyplate.gov/).

New Latino character joins cast of Sesame Street
The long-running Sesame Street is welcoming its newest neighbor, Armando. The character, a writer from Puerto Rico, made his debut on the show last month, and is part of the show's efforts to focus on Hispanic heritage.
Armando, known on the show as Mando, is a human character, not a Muppet, who lives in Brooklyn. The character is played by Ismael Cruz Córdova, a 26-year-old actor who is also from Puerto Rico. He was chosen for the part after a nationwide search. On the show, Mando speaks and sings in both Spanish and English.
"Working on Sesame Street has been a great experience so far," Córdova told TFK. "I am having so much fun being part of this family."
In Mando's first episode, there is a Latin American festival on Sesame Street, and the neighborhood is filled with people from many Latin American countries. Mando and the Muppet character Rosita learn that all of the people at the festival speak Spanish, even though they are from different places. "We want to show that there is a range of diversity among people from Latin America," Córdova says.
This is the 44th season of Sesame Street. There have long been Latino characters on the show, including humans like Maria and Luis, along with Rosita, who hails from Mexico.

Drawn entirely from the collection of the National Gallery of Australia, the first Australian institution to have collected this type of work, Space invaders: australian . street . stencils . posters . paste-ups . zines . stickers surveys the past 10 years of Australian street art. Featuring 150 works by over 40 Australian artists, this exhibition celebrates the energy of street-based creativity and recognises street stencils, posters, paste-ups, zines and stickers as comprising a recent chapter in the development of Australian prints and drawings..
Space invaders looks at artists and their iconic street-based works at the point of their transition from the ephemeral to the collectable and from the street to the gallery.
Download Education Kit (3.8Mb pdf)
An initial wave: connecting crews
While modern hip-hop inspired graffiti reached Australia in the early 1980s, Australian street art is a relatively recent phenomenon. The transition of many practitioners from graffiti styles to street art experimentation is often still strongly rooted in graffiti culture. Many artists hold fast to the established codes of conduct and rules of the game that define the graffiti culture at its purist core: skill in placement, originality of style and degree of risk associated with the creative act.
However, by diversifying a freestyle spray-can practice with sprayed stencils, screenprinting techniques and hand-drawn paste-ups, Melbourne's infamous Everfresh crew and Perth-based artist Yok show their skill in transitioning between the internally coded, abstracted writing of graffiti and the mass-communication motivations of street artists.
Neo-Pop: a culture of sampling and appropriation
Out of the Australian street stencil craze, an Australian Neo-Pop culture of sampling and appropriation materialised. Space invaders presents Ned Kelly, Yoda, science-fiction monsters, subhumans and robots, the screaming face of Marion Crane in Hitchcock's Psycho, media celebrities and cultural icons such as Diana and Charles as the subject matter for a generation of street artists who, over the past decade, have enthusiastically embraced television, computer games, films and animation as primary subjects.
These artists have harnessed the disseminating power of the internet, digital photography and quick-copy scanners and printers in their pursuit of new forms of figuration.
Politics and commercial counter-attacks
A major strength of Australian street art is its ability to mix pop-culture imagery with political messages. From hard-hitting protest to political satire, clever combinations of sarcasm, mockery and parody, the means to mix art, politics and the street press is now in the hands of a new generation of Australian artists. Vexta comments on the highly politicised topic of immigration, artist-activist Azlan takes up his spray can in a hard-hitting approach to terrorism and the socially minded Civil encourages people to act together to force political change.
Street art veteran Marcsta and the driven Mini Graff arm themselves with the weapons of irony and humour in the creation of iconic ad-busting prints and stickers that serve as scathing commercial counter attacks on the large multi-national corporations who dare assume ownership of Australian public space.
The return of the hand
Space invaders also explores a paradox that has emerged in Australian street art in which an early flirtation with new technology has given way to a sentimentality for the traditional and the handmade. Artists such as Anthony Lister, Al Stark, Nails, Twoone, Ghostpatrol and Miso have led the way in the recent embrace of labour-intensive and traditional modes of art making, including detailed papercut pieces, ink drawings, etchings, linocuts and collage installations. Australian street artists are crossing from the streets to the gallery with new and inventive expressions of street-inspired creativity.
While numerous approaches and diverse creative philosophies make up the Australian street art scene in 2010, the true and central constant has been the do-it-yourself ethos. Space invaders takes a close look at street art and the many ways that artists are getting up, getting out there and getting seen.

About Online Slots
The introduction casino games online has made it more accessible to several people such that you can stay at the comfort of your own home and get a chance to win at the same time. Online slots and games are just one of these that you can choose from. If you were to compare it with the traditional slot machines you will find in land based casinos, there are as much similarities as there are differences.
Playing online slots offer massive payout possibilities with average percentage of about 95 percent or more. As for the traditional slot games though, the percentage is lower for about 5 percent, to be exact 90 percent. If you are dealing with a game of chance, that 5 percent could mean a huge difference in determining whether you get more funds into your account or not. Online slot machines are probably the third most popular games online, next only to blackjack and bingo. In choosing the site from which to play these games, you need to consider two vital factors: the website's reputation itself and the type of software used. For each slot machine game you play online, you will get different types of software to run them. An example would be progressive online slots that are gaining attention in the world of virtual casino. It is therefore one reason why this format of online slots games is gaining popularity among players.
Another crucial element to increase your winning capacity in an online casino is in the choice of game to play. When you say casino, you have a lot of games to choose from. The right choice of game can potentially increase your winning chances since the game basically works on a probability aspect. You must therefore be smart enough to know which games offer you to best chance at earning great prizes.
The roulette is one of the most popular casino games played online. Aside from the fact that the game is exciting to play you can pick various betting options that each will determine your probabilities for winning. There is a great risk involved with playing roulette though since one is encouraged to bet on more numbers, which might increase the amount of payout you can get in case you win, but also consequently reduces your winning percentage.
More desirable choices of games though include either blackjack or poker. Both of these skills require a good amount of skills, mastery and some luck in order to win in the said online casino games. To win in poker, you have to understand the rules of the game and its basic mechanic to potentially earn huge money. Meanwhile, blackjack comes with a dealer with whom you must compete against reaching to the closest possible value of 21. As long as no player has won the jackpot, it will continue to amass and money will be added into the prize pot for progression online slots.

I haven't found too much new stuff in the stores lately. Day late, dollar short. Story of my life. : )
My mail-away Captain Rex finally arrived. It wasn't minty. I'm still tempted to mail away for a second one so I can open the display.

My mail-away Captain Rex finally arrived. It wasn't minty. I'm still tempted to mail away for a second one so I can open the display.
Jodo Kast eludes me no longer!!! Found him today hanging on the pegs.
I see Jodo from time to time; tonight at TRU for instance. Those Previews exclusive Battlefront II multipacks are back too. I saw both of them at TRU in the new blue-n-white packaging.
Kmart had these Legacy 5-figure multipacks too. Nothing but repack city there though.
It's gonna be tougher finding new stuff with all the additional competition from holiday toy shoppers. I'm trying to get everything I want before pegs are picked clean after Thanksgiving.
Finally saw the white Vader/Leia comic pack this morning, but didn't get it. Came across several Thrawn/Karrde packs as well, though I passed on them again. I really hate the $13 price tag.
Forgot to mention seeing the Target exclusive battle packs this morning too. The troop builder ones with Yoda and Obi-Wan.
I saw the Faie and Quinlan Vos comic pack at WM this afternoon. No sign of the Clone Emperor pack. Still, it was late in the day so I was surprised they still had anything of note.
I was surprised to see a large amount of new figures on the pegs over the holiday weekend: CW 3PO and Dooku, the new med droid, etc...
I did see one Ultimate battle pack at Target on Black Friday. It was the two tank set. At $70, it was too much for my blood.
The WMs in my area dropped the price on the BMF to $99.
I picked up the new medical droid today.
I'm rather pleased to say that I've found everything I've been looking for in the past two weeks.
Found all the new CW figs (including Asajj).
Must say that I am rather impressed with the 3PO's articulation!
Disappointed in the new Plo Koon (CW). Above the waist, he's fantastic. The legs though are like a POTF2 figure. Boo.
Found all the new legacy figs about a month ago at a Target store. The new Grievous was really well done. The head on my Brea Organa is super loose though. Anyone else have that issue? For a new clone in the Legacy line, I really like the new Commander Faie (sp?).
My closest Wal Mart (Pendleton Pike & Sunny Side Road) received all the new Legacy and CW figs last week and actually stocked them for once.
Was at Target at Kessler & Keystone Ave today and found the CW exclusive multi packs and the Sarlac. I'm agreeing with what I'm reading elsewhere on the forums that if I pick up the Sarlac at all, it will be on clearance after the Holidays. I can't justify spending $70 (with tax) on the base / sarlac, the skiff, and then a bunch of POTF2 poorly painted reissue figs. And I think the scale of the sarlac is off unless the one in ROTJ is much smaller than the one in the Force Unleashed...
I have the same issue with the Lars Homestead piece. Hopefully after the Holidays it will go on clearance (or at least a sale) and I can pick it up for less. I just want the set piece...
The hunt has been fun this year though.
Really looking forward to next year's waves! (HK-47 is one of the upcoming build-a-droids wooo hooo!)
Yesterday I saw the Luke/Clone Emperor comic pack finally and I occasionally see some new and repacked battle packs.
I found the latest TLC & CW waves before Thanksgiving so I'm watching to see if any '09 stuff slips through.
Saw the Christophis and Sarlac battle packs at Target today. The Christophis one looks pretty impressive, lots of vehicles in there.

Anytime would be a good thang.
Speed demon!!
Thigpen and Miller combo on Special Teams??
April 27 to 29
When he learns to pick up the blitz, I am sure he will get his playing time.
"It happens all the time," Taylor said. "It's not an exact science and personnel guys aren't the end-all, be-all. " Jason Taylor,2011
As someone said, when he learns to pick up the blitz. That's why Thomas saw so much time against the Jets. We had a lot more snaps from the gun and Thomas does a great job of not only picking it up but also blocking the blitzing players. I thought he played really well and was very impressed with him.
I see this year as a learning year for him. I think it is pretty clear that he was drafted as Bush's replacement, not Thomas's. Thomas will remain on the team next year as the power back, which compliments the more tricky, speed guy which at the moment is Bush but I think long term will be Miller as long as he shows enough progress.
When he develops enough to be NFL ready, the same as Egnew.
It is good to have this problem, players in the wings with players on the field already producing. I must be in the Twillight Zone.
"Nonsense, I have not yet begun to defile myself."

Not to worried about Miller right now. If DT keeps playing like he did vs the Jets then the combo of him and Reggie is GREAT.
*******The NFL is a Coaches League*******
This tread seems to pop up every two days...

" Fuss free, no frills accomodation. The hotel was about a 15 minute walk to the centre of town, so a decent location if you don't mind a bit of walking. One thing to consider is that it is a very tall building with lots of floors and stairs, so if you have young children/ lots of luggage/ require wheelchair access etc. then this wouldn't be the place for you. I should also point out that the walls are very thin - I was woken up two days in a row by someone else's alarm in a different room. "- Анонимный

Understanding the Basics of Surgical and Restorative Implant Therapy: A Hands-On Program
Friday, September 20, 2013 - Saturday, September 21, 2013
Anthony Neely, DDS, MDentSc, PhD
Course Overview
This two-day course will consist of a combination of lecture and hands-on sessions introducing participants to the basics of the surgical placement and restoration of dental implants. This course will emphasize achieving optimal patient care through treatment planning with the entire dental team. The participant will learn about the steps necessary for thorough pre-operative clinical evaluation of implant sites. Emphasis will be on criteria for soft and hard tissue evaluation to help practitioners aim for optimal functional and esthetic outcomes, as well as sound decision making to help the general practitioner understand the fundamentals of implant therapy. This course will explain the basics of implant surgical techniques and demonstrate them on pig jaw mandibles in the simulation lab. Potential surgical complications and methods of avoidance will also be presented. Course participants will learn about treatment planning implant-supported restorations for partially endentulous patients. The didactic portion of the course will focus on creating surgical guides for use in dental implant surgery, and dental implant placement on educational models and pig jaws. Appropriate implant and abutment selection will be presented as well as indications for different prosthetic restorations (i.e., screw-retained vs. cement-retained). The hands-on component of this course will consist of dental implant placement utilizing a surgical guide and implant impressions. Participants are encouraged to bring their cases from private practice for discussion.
Course Objectives
At the completion of the course participants will be able to:
- Place implants in pig jaws and on sawbone casts with a surgical guide
- Fabricate a surgical guide in-office
- Make impressions for implant-supported restorations
- Treatment-plan for single and mutltiple-tooth partially endentulous implant cases
- Identify alternative solutions for simple and complex implant cases

A heat wave is upon us — you'll find me in the water. Whether it's my pool, or the Pacific, I'm hot tailing it to surf as soon as possible. Something I've been meaning to do is participate in the Surfrider Foundation's Ocean Beach clean-ups every other Sunday. Knowing I'm helping to keep the ocean plastic free, while basking in post-surf satisfaction, is the best way to spend a Sunday morning. I'm thinking of getting a crew together — who's game? Here's the events calendar for the Sunday beach clean-ups (there's one this Sunday, 4/3) and more water-conscious events hosted by the organization. While you're visiting, sign this Rise Above Plastics petition, and vow to do your part in preventing the Great Pacific Garbage Patch from growing (I'm #19,527!).

Canterbury held off a valiant charge by Wellington to win their Plunket Shield encounter by 20 runs at the Basin Reserve yesterday.
Wellington began the day on 13-0 in pursuit of 384 for victory and openers Michael Papps and Josh Brodie gave them a solid start before Brodie was dismissed for 15.
Papps carried on to make 65 before he eventually departed, while Jesse Ryder came and went as he added a brisk 31 from only 29 balls.
At 159-5 Wellington did not look as if they would make a good go of their chase but Grant Elliott (91) and Harry Boam (66) added 100 runs for the sixth wicket.
When Elliott went it was left up to Boam and the tail to try to get Wellington home but Boam was trapped in front by Ronnie Hira for 66 and, with his departure, Wellington's chances of victory evaporated.
Boam was summoned only for the final day as a replacement for Luke Ronchi, who flew to Whangarei to join the New Zealand XI ahead of theirtwo T20 games against England this week.
Wellington tail-ender Mark Gillespie slashed his way to 63 as the home side caught a sniff of a chance, but when seamer Ryan McCone bowled Gillespie the game was over.
Canterbury's spinners Hira and Todd Astle combined to take six wickets, while McCone ended with 3-26.

grandkids have an unfair advantage!!!!
The red ryder is ok. Its slow and doesnt shoot pellets. Its good for plinking but varmint control... not so great. I bounced a BB off of a blue jay at 30 feet. If you want something inexpensive look for a crossman 760. Its a max of 10 pumps. It can shoot bb's or pellets. Its an all around decent gun for the beginner/plinker.
Personally I like RWS break barrel pellet guns! Ive taken fox out at 30 yards with it. But then again they are pricey.

I know you said rifle, but check out those C02 semi auto pistol just for kicks. You can find em for <$50. They aren't much good for varmit hunting, but being able to let 15 bb's fly as fast as you can pull the trigger with no cocking or pumping is pretty fun.
As far as rifles goes, seems like there were/are lots of $100, 1,000 fps deals out there on the single shot, crack barrel type. Gamo, Beeman, Ruger, even Crossman has a couple decent ones.

I just bought a Gamo from their website and got 40% off. Not sure if the code still works but it is worth a try. FB40BC
Mike Peters
Gamo or other similar break barrel rifles have inherent inaccuracy when used with a scope. Namely the scope is mounted on the receiver while the barrel breaks away on a hinge, never to quite return to the same alignment with the scope. You can get close with lots of speed but not consistently tight groups. I have one and learned this the hard way.
Best bet is the pump up style like the crosman mentioned earlier. JMO

Should it be a Federal Holiday?

Should it be a Federal Holiday?
This discussion has come up recently.
Should be a great topic here!
Stan b & Elvis
So Rush brought it up?
Sinners like Christmas....its mainly about greed these days...so why would the non-christians want to do away with it?
Sounds like something he would say. Nobody christian or non-christian would ever want to do away with christmas....too much money made because of it.
I'm kind of on the same page in that the freeways are jammed everyday with folks shopping. I like giving my thanks on Thanksgiving...our Christmas has turned into a material one....and the country has forgotten the real meaning of Christmas
I really enjoy giving Thanks & enjoy very much the holidays with all the meal planning - I believe it a luxury to be able to plan to eat what one wants during the holidays . Turkey & stuffing at Thanksgiving & Ham for Xmas with the family present, what more could one ask for?
It teaches one good values subtly !!!!!!!!!
Should Veterans day be a holiday - most who get the day off are non-veterans!!!!!!

Everyone's friend is No One's friend
Someday your life will flash before your eyes. It's your responsibility to make sure it's worth watching!
Marvin, reading what you wrote is true and most forget that. I used to always think I got good presents, I also always thought I missed out on a lot. Looking back I know how much i really had. I also now know how much my parents sacrificed to give those presents to me. I was also always reminding of the reason for the holiday, and more often reminded that it wasn't about gifts or a day off.
It does not matter if it is a federal holiday or not, the vast majority of people would still not be at work.
How about we worry about columbus day, and MLK day before we worry about Christmas.
Oh and Marvin I can't believe you used Xmas instead of Christmas
