Winchester 1400 MKII
I just put a Winchester 1400 MKII 12 gauge on lay-a-way today. Total price out the door will be $322. It is in excellent condition. I know it's an older gun and I can't find any info out about it on Winchester's website. Does anyone know when they stopped producing these? Are they good guns? Is it worth the price I'm paying? It will be my first automatic shotgun, as the only other shotgun I've used is a 20 gauge pump action. Any thing I should be aware of with automatic shotguns?
Don't know when they quit making it but I got one in 1970. It was a reliable gas shotgun and had it for many years. I took many pheasant with this shotgun.
The 1400 MK II was produced from 1968 to 1972. They were selling them till 1994.
Yes, the gun is worthed buying, its very good shotgun.
And it's Winchester. Its always good.
Thanks guys.
hate to rain on your party but be advised...the 1400 was the first mass produced gun in the new new haven plant. winchester was losing money and they had to retool the production line. in doing so, in 65 they stopped making all winchesters hand made. the 1400 was the first machine stamped gun made using an alloy receiver. it replaced the model 59 that was failing to sell due to cracked receivers. 1400 was of lower quality and was meant for the masses....that tended to shoot a gun once a year, if that. for those that shot it a lot, guns began to break and fail. carrier rails cracked, trigger groups would fail and ejectors and extractors would break. ive owned numeorus 1400's that had carrier rails crack. even had one shoot its forearm cap off and right behind it went the mag tube spring and plug! even though early guns had great wood and fit....the cheaper metal fatigues with age. 322 is a fair price. they need to be cleaned spit shine clean.
one good thing i can say about them is they absorb recoil very well. the mk2 designation was the addition of the bolt release button on bottom.
And let the Winchester haters start.....I love the Winchester man and you done just fine for that price....the only thing is just keep it clean they have been known to have a little bit of a cycling problem when they get really dirty
Well the gun could probably use a descent cleaning, since I don't know the last time it was done, however I will do that before firing it for the first time, like I do with all my firearms, especially a used one in which I don't know the history behind it. The gun appears to have been shot very little and is in excellent condition, I would personally give it a 95% and I'm a strong believer in keeping my firearms clean. I've heard both good and bad about this gun, so I'm curious as to how it will play out for me, but I'm hoping a little TLC will go a long way in keeping it in good operational order.
Remembering growing up in my Uncle's shop he sold quite a few,..ESP. When he would run short on Remington's...
to clear the air, my uncle helped build winchesters. i grew up in new haven too. matter of fact, winchesters are pretty close to all i shoot guys. so i dont hate them. im just sharing my personal experiences with you.
biker im sure is keen to have picked up my note on how if they arent shot a lot, (and i consider 250 rounds a day twice a week a lot) he should be ok.
the rule of thumb on winchesters is every model was an improvemnt over the last. model 40's were recalled. so they made the model 50. 50's loosened stocks and people complained about weight. so they made the 59. the 59 cracked receivers, so they made the 1400. the skeet trap people use to destroy them with heavy use...so winchester made the super xm1. and so on. so as you can see, the 1400 stayed around the most for casual shooters.
not knowing the history of the gun, one just needs to be ready for anything after shooting it for any length of time. pamper it and let us know how it does.

The Oil Curse:
Countries that are rich in petroleum have less democracy, less economic stability, and more frequent civil wars than countries without oil. What explains this oil curse? And can it be fixed? In this groundbreaking analysis, Michael L. Ross looks at how developing nations are shaped by their mineral wealth--and how they can turn oil from a curse into a blessing.
Ross traces the oil curse to the upheaval of the 1970s, when oil prices soared and governments across the developing world seized control of their countries' oil industries. Before nationalization, the oil-rich countries looked much like the rest of the world; today, they are 50 percent more likely to be ruled by autocrats--and twice as likely to descend into civil war--than countries without oil.
The Oil Curse shows why oil wealth typically creates less economic growth than it should; why it produces jobs for men but not women; and why it creates more problems in poor states than in rich ones. It also warns that the global thirst for petroleum is causing companies to drill in increasingly poor nations, which could further spread the oil curse.
This landmark book explains why good geology often leads to bad governance, and how this can be changed.
"Economists have mostly shied away from full costings of the ecological and social devastation of oil use. Were they to do so with thoroughness and authority displayed by Ross in The Oil Curse, they might start to develop the new economic model for oil and other extractive industries that is so desperately needed."--John Vidal, Nature
"[P]articularly timely. . . . Ross has an easy style and his central points are made clearly."--Ed Crooks, Financial Times
"[A]n excellent book."--Tyler Cowen, Marginal Revolution
"The Oil Curse leads us into the hidden world of the oil business. It presents some surprising discoveries and provides important information in a very accessible way. It is the most up-to-date book on a timely and important topic."--Lisa Kaaki, Arab News
"[S]tunning."--Johnny West, Huffington Post UK
"Ross [is] to be applauded for advancing the conversation beyond reveling in the history of human extraction of resources to expressing sorrow for the negative impacts of mineral rushes, which most social science books in this genre tend to follow. . . . Cautionary narratives such as th[is] . . . are important for engineers and chemists to read to further hasten the search for solutions to resource scarcity dilemmas."--Saleem H. Ali, Chemical & Engineering News
"Much has been written about the topic of how oil wealth hampers economic development as well as the building of institutions, but this book will help introduce a much wider audience to this issue. Ross has produced a comprehensive examination of the oil curse, analyzing data from 170 countries. . . . [T]his is a valuable and accessible study of an important topic."--Choice

I have a suppressor on my 308 and its fantastic other than the fact its weight on the end of the barrel is a pain if your walking 5 miles.
On another note I just checked a young 2 year old Labrador with a .17 hmr to see if he was ok with the gun being fired. I fired the rifle 3 times and he didn't flinch. Took the moderator off and the noise level increased dramatically, four fold in noise. He looked at me and barked with his head side ways
, was quite funny really. He just wagged his tail and went about his business lol. I'd suppress all my firearms if I could afford it. Compared to your figures in America it is cheaper over in Britain though. About £300 over here would suppress a 308. £50 for a certificate variation

AUSTIN — James Bond better not plan on any quick license plate switches in Texas.
The Senate approved a measure Thursday to ban use of devices that flip around to reveal a different plate, a feat once only seen on the big screen.
The measure by Sen. Carlos Uresti, D-San Antonio, was prompted by an increasing number of criminals and scofflaws installing the flipper devices on their cars to avoid police detection and possibly toll road charges.
The device works by push of a button or pull of a cord. It allows a driver to rotate or flip between multiple license plates in a matter of seconds. They can be ordered online from a manufacturer.
Uresti said he decided to introduce the legislation after the district attorney in Bexar County told him that police were seeing more of the devices on the road.
"They were concerned by the increased use of the flippers over the past few years," he said. He also cited the difficulty the devices could cause law enforcement officials along the Texas-Mexico border, particularly at crossings.
Asked by one senator what a flipper was, Uresti described the device and added, "It's kind of like what you've seen in the movies."
Sen. Bob Deuell, R-Greenville, asked whether Uresti would exempt the Secret Service and undercover agents from the new prohibition on flippers.
"I have several secret agents in my Senate district that use this technique to avoid the bad guys," Deuell added with a chuckle.
Under the bill, it would be a class A misdemeanor to manufacture or sell license plate flippers, and a class B misdemeanor for a driver to purchase or use one of the devices. Uresti originally proposed that manufacture or sale of the flippers be a felony. But he reduced it to a misdemeanor to win support for the bill to pass out of a committee.
"When I first heard about it, I didn't think it was a big deal. But as we looked into the situation, we realized something had to be done before this becomes a serious problem," he said.
"This device serves no good purpose for anyone. Hopefully, the legislation will deter those who want to use a flipper for criminal activity."

text: Hello Everyone, This is my first time posting. I have been reading MMAJunkie for years and have been a MMA fan since 1995. I am currently finishing up my last semester of college and am writting a Senior Thesis. I am a Business Strategy major and my thesis is titled The Emergence of the Mixed Martial Arts Industry in the United States. I am almost done, with the exception of my survey. This is where the MMA community (you guys) come in. If you can, please take the time to answer these 4 questions; How and when did you first learn of Mixed Martial Arts? What are the first thoughts that come to mind when you hear the phrase "ultimate fighter"? In what circumstances/surroundings do you watch live Pay-Per-View events? (ex. home alone, at a bar, with many friends, you wait until the event is online, etc.) What would you like to see change in MMA? Why? Thank you, P.S. If anyone has more questions in regards to this thesis or the hypothesis, I will gladly answer once the survey is complete, as I do not wish to affect the results of the survey by explaining the analysis process.

Top Teachers: Karla Ott
By Tom Lappas, Henrico Citizen Editor 02/18/11
Inspiration can come from almost anywhere. Karla Ott found it as a college student in the far reaches of Slovakia, working with children on a church mission with whom she had no way to communicate other than expression.
"We had absolutely no language connection with them," she said. "It was simply about loving the children."
Still in college at the time with aspirations of becoming a veterinarian, something clicked for Ott on the trip.
"I had never seen teaching and education as a field that I would be good in," she said. "But I realized that it was not as much about teaching as much as developing connections with kids and loving them."
Ott is now in her fourth year of teaching fourth-graders at Rivers Edge – a group she calls the perfect age for her.
"These kids, they haven't developed the need to just get away from adults and away from having so much structure," she said. "They still really crave the structure that elementary education gives them.
"And they still kind of think you're pretty cool."
Ott herself is a product of Henrico County Public Schools – a Tucker graduate who attended Shady Grove Elementary and Short Pump Middle and has lived in the River's Edge zone nearly her entire life – since before the school itself ever existed.
She teaches a fitness class at the nearby Shady Grove YMCA before school in the mornings and for the past three years has also coached girls' lacrosse at Deep Run High School in the afternoons. She's given that up this year but has a new afterschool program that excites her just as much – a running club that she and two other teachers created.
"We were expecting 10 or 15 kids might be interested," she said, "but our numbers are in the low 90s now. It has just exploded. The kids are so excited."
The 'River Runners' club brings fitness experts and yoga instructors, among others, to educate second- through fifth-graders about different activities they can enjoy outdoors. Club members spend an hour each day running.
Ott credits her own love of running – which she developed after college at the behest of a friend – with changing her life by making her a more fit, confident person. (She's since run several marathons and half-marathons.) She believed it could do something similar for her students, who will compete in the kids' run at this year's Ukrop's Monument Avenue 10k.
"I just picture all of our kids in their River Runner shirts coming to the finish line," Ott said, smiling at the thought.

After hearing star after star — Kate Walsh, Molly Sims, Kristen Bell — effuse about how much they loved Kate Somerville's "Kate in a Jar," I had to try it for myself. And now I understand why they are hooked! The grainy green goo doesn't look so sexy when you slather it on, but after 30 seconds, you wash it off — and your skin is miraculously smoother, clearer and so much softer. It's like the ultimate exfoliator, but without being at all harsh on your face. I never really expect sticky New York City summers to do much for my skin, but I've never gotten so many compliments on my complexion. And for now, it's as close as I'm getting to one of Kate's legendary facials in Los Angeles. Get your own "Kate in a Jar" at katesomerville.com, $85.

Our First Ascent guide team built this ultralight jacket for alpine climbing in cool to cold weather. Windproof ripstop polyester shell. Each cluster of the super high-loft 800 fill StormDown insulation is also treated with a DWR finish so the down retains its loft and superior insulating properties even in wet conditions.
"It's made specifically to be a very lightweight layer with down, which makes it lighter than any kind of other insulation and very compact and packable. When you wear it, you hardly know you have it on."
Ed Viesturs, Eddie Bauer Alpine Guide
Active: Our most athletic fit. Close to the body without restricting mobility. Designed to fit over baselayers and lighweight midlayers.

Comments about First Ascent|Men|Jackets & Vests Men's MicroTherm StormDown Jacket:
The changes made to this jacket has not done anything to improve the jacket. All changes made it simply made it a cheap jacket that I no longer want to wear. I've been buying Eddie Bauer jackets for the last 5 years. The jackets are cheap in terms of material, quality and workmanship. I am switching back to Mountain Hardwear, just purchased the Ghost Whisperer down jacket.
Comments about First Ascent|Men|Jackets & Vests Men's MicroTherm StormDown Jacket:
Love this garment, purchased a blue and black two years ago. Purchased two more this year at 40% off sale.
Feels good on and looks great, lots of body and sleeve length. 6'4'' 240 lbs, XLT is perfect for me.

Comments about First Ascent|Men|Jackets & Vests Men's MicroTherm StormDown Jacket:
I've left this product in it's plastic and am returning it as soon as I have time this week. This is not a technical ultra light down jacket that could be used in mountaineering, despite what the description reads. I've got two other down jackets, and ordered this one so that I could have a back up for when I send my patagonia jacket in for a zipper repair. Unfortunately, this is NOT a keeper. The quality of this jacket when I look at it closely next to my Outdoor Research Transcendent hoody or my Patagonia Down Sweater is an absolute joke. The sleeve cuff material was the final straw for me. It looks like something that would come in a children's toy. The amount of down in the sleeves and torso area is noticeably lacking, even when i deliberately tried to let it "loft" up. Everything about this down jacket feels cheap. I honestly think if I took this into the backcountry on an alpine climb, I would suffer.
Comments about First Ascent|Men|Jackets & Vests Men's MicroTherm StormDown Jacket:
Light weight jacket with good warmth. Athletic fit that allows full range of motion and helps if layering. Panels under armpit enable movement and work like pit zips. Medium fits great, 5' 91/2 " 160 lb. sits 4 inches below waist in back. Strong, thin zippers that function nicely. Good size zip pockets with convent big inner pockets. Great looking jacket. I bought storm color.

Elitism among the body of Christ
According to dictionary.com, an elitist is "a person having, thought to have, or professing superior intellect or talent, power, wealth, or membership in the upper echelons of society."
Last summer, when I start running, I began to hear advice from "elite" runners. Those were the people who could run faster or longer distances than most other people.
But, it seems there is a difference in connotation between the word "elite" and the word "elitist." The term "elitist" usually refers to someone who looks down on other people because of their (assumed) superiority in some aspect of life or society.
Throughout Scripture, life with Christ is described as a process of growth and maturity. We do not start perfect in our understanding and life in Christ. Instead, we start as "babes," and are intended to continually grow as the Spirit works in and through us.
If any of us look back on our lives with Christ, we will probably see changes in our beliefs, love, actions, spiritual gifts, relations with other people, etc. This is normal growth in the Spirit. Even Paul recognize that he had not yet attained full maturity, but he pressed on toward growing more and more in Christ.
But, it's possible for any of us to forget where we once were and begin to look down on others who are not where are currently. In fact, there are a couple of passage of Scripture that indicate the same thing was happening even then.
For example, in Romans 12, Paul seems to address the possibility that some Christians thought less of others based on spiritual gifts:
For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. (Romans 12:3 ESV)
Some parts of 1 Corinthians 12-14 indicate that some of the believers in Corinth may have had elitist thoughts regarding spiritual gifts as well.
Plus, when writing to the Corinthians, Paul indicated that some of them made have thought more highly of themselves (in comparison to other believers) because of their knowledge in certain spiritual areas:
Now concerning food offered to idols: we know that "all of us possess knowledge." This "knowledge" puffs up, but love builds up. If anyone imagines that he knows something, he does not yet know as he ought to know. (1 Corinthians 8:1-2 ESV)
Before we look down our spiritual noses on the Corinthians (and perhaps demonstrate our own elitism), we should recognize that we can all fall into this trap. It's easy to look down on others, even when they are demonstrating the same beliefs and/or actions that we demonstrated only a few years, months, or days before. But, just as God worked in us to bring us to where we are today, we must trust God to do the same in others. And, on top of that, we must remember that God is also still at work in our own lives. Tomorrow, he may reveal (and we may finally accept) that we are wrong about something we believe or do today.
There is no room for elitism among the body of Christ. Instead, as Paul wrote, we must always consider others as more important than ourselves – which is the exact opposite of elitism.

pulpits support & engender elitism, and our sensitivity to it in religious and social culture has been both heightened and dulled.
Before we tag or label an elitist, let's be sure that they are in truth looking down upon others with an attitude of ego-driven superiority.
Bloggers often provide me that creepy feeling of an elitist presenter; that they each have something to say and know how to say it best. Alongside these impressions, I've come to realize that part of this hangup is in the way print medium is received by me. John the disciple, too, from the letters he wrote long ago… John seems to me somewhat elitist in print. "My little children…"?!
Sometimes I just ask people how they view their own position relative to others/peers. Presuming elitism doesn't seem as wise as to inquire simply.
Yes alan, yes and yes again. Wow this is sustainment in my eyes and Spirit. This post relates well to romans 14 the whole chapter seeing it deeper than just a food chapter, as you mentioned in this post. No one has rule over us, the believers in Christ
Love you man, howard
You must be talking about someone else because I would never fall into that trap.
Thinking about this situation, I figure it's darn near impossible to look down on someone when you are washing their feet! Just some food for thought.
Arthur, I have to ask are you being funny?
Craig, great point, only way you could would be if they are hanging upside down. We are to serve as we are led to do by God through the Holy Ghost
Discernment, discernment discernment. We do learn as we go
It may not be a matter of 'beware lest you fall in this trap'. It's easy to already be in it and not realize it. This trap is not painful, but a soft, cushy, comfortable one. Matthew 26:22: …"Is it I, Lord?"
the "relational Christianity" movement, which thrives in the building of personal relationships keyed to fellowship, often fosters a circle of elitism as a pragmatic adjunct: realizing a maximum number of solid relationships I can manage, therefore all others need function beneath my subjective margins.
Similarly, "core groups" and "cliques" provide workspace for practice in elitism, and so contrary to Christ. A friend and I recently encountered a vivid example in this, where someone outside the group is regarded & addressed as beneath the "earned" spiritual perspective of its circle.
Isn't there that scripture that says we shouldn't think more highly of ourselves than we ought?
I think we've all been there, done that. Some have done it so well, they could be considered…dare I say it…elitists on the subject.
We have to remember – we know what we know as God has revealed it to us. Otherwise, we also need to remember, it is not a matter of "us" versus "them". We are all in the "us" boat. God has the same grace for you, as He does me, as He does for that fellow who struggles in an area of sin.
Jesus loves me, this I know
As well as those who come and go.
Thanks John

Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
There's a lot of potential in the concept, but I don't think you really thought out the rest. First and foremost, the experience curve is ridiculous. I could be grinding battles for years and never level up. This is especially important since stats seem to dominate the game. I know you want people to play your game, but if people don't really feel like their effort is worth anything then the game's not worth playing.
Plus, I don't feel like all the elements of gameplay are covered in the tutorial. I would've liked to know if moving into my allies hurt them beforehand instead of figuring that out for myself. On that note, why is it that when you move into your ally, you either just damage them or push them depending on what seems to be chance. I don't know if that's a bug or part of gameplay, but if it's the latter then it needs to be explained.
It's really the small details you have to fix. Bouncing off the SHADOW of the terrain and not the actual terrain really messes up coordination. You get used to it, but sometimes it's just a nuisance.
The challenges are actually well thought out, but with your characters not being able to level up at a reasonable rate, they start to become impossible as the enemies just start doing obscene damage. The damage is actually mostly elemental, because the challenges cut your resistance to a flat amount, making resistances essentially useless. Try just reducing the resistances instead of bringing them straight to -50 or -100.
This idea of "billiards rpg" is pretty neat, but an innovative concept doesn't make up for lack of development.

From ABC's Eloise Harper and Kate Snow: Most people don't have the guts to ask Sen. Hillary Clinton the question David Dickey asked late Monday at the Antique Car Museum in Coralville, Iowa.
But it's been bothering Dickey a lot lately, so -- though he admits he was a bit nervous -- he went ahead and launched it.
"I know a lot of people" the questioner began "they just, for some reason don't like you," he said. "I like you," he added quickly. But what could she do about all the rest? All those people who just plain don't like the woman?
"There are people who would never vote for me," Clinton replied. "Breaks my heart. But it is true."
"If you've been fighting for the causes you believe in and taking on tough special interests as long as I have, you're gonna get beat up," she continued. "There are some people who will never agree with me."
Some she said, even make a living being anti-Hillary. "Some of the folks the talking heads on radio and tv, you know the ratings dip a little bit, well you know they've got a hard core that always responds to going after me, they can make a little money off me.. " Clinton continued, "I have created so many jobs and wealth," she joked to applause.
Clinton argued that if people get to know her -- as many did in upstate New York when she was running for Senate in 2000 -- they might change their minds about her.
"They saw me for the first time as somebody who was a person, not a caricature," she said.
She also argued that whoever the Democratic nominee is will have "high negatives" as soon as they're selected. At least she, she said, has already been vetted.
"I've been through this. A lot," Clinton deadpanned. "I know how it works."
Clinton then launched into a detailed list of her supporters: "I'm running against three senators and one former senator. None of them have more than one other senator supporting them. I have nine." Clinton also said "we have to win ohio to win the election. The governor of Ohio endorsed me."
"These are not politicians on a suicide mission," she said.
But Dickey wasn't completely sold.
"I'm leaning toward Obama," he said after the event. The 25-year-old from Iowa City said he'd been to two Clinton events now, two Obama events and had seen Edwards once.
Yes, he does "like" the Senator. He wasn't just saying that to be nice.
But he worries that she might not be electable if too many other people simply don't like her.
"It does sway me," Dickey said.

Unpasteurized Mexican Cheese Spreading Infectious Disease in Dallas County
Dallas County is suffering through an infectious disease outbreak that has nothing to do with mosquitoes. Dallas County Health and Human Services announced Thursday that 13 residents have suffered from brucellosis so far in 2016, way up from the 2 to 6 cases the county normally sees in a given year.
Each of the 13 cases stems from people eating unpasteurized cheese from Mexico that was either brought back to the U.S. from Mexico by friends or relatives, consumed during travel in Mexico, or purchased unlabeled from Dallas street vendors, DCHHS says. Unpasteurized cheese, while often delicious, is illegal in the United States. The only exception is cheese made from raw milk, provided the cheese has been aged a minimum of 60 days and is clearly labeled as unpasteurized.
Brucella bacteria can affect common dairy livestock like cows, sheep and goats. Humans can then ingest the bacteria in unpasteurized dairy products made from the milk of the animals. Brucellosis infections are also common in lab settings because the bacteria can easily be made airborne by common lab practices and relatively little needs to be ingested to cause infection.
Primary symptoms of Brucella infections are fever, fatigue, weakness, weight loss, night sweats, joint pain and headache, but severe symptoms like meningitis can occur in some cases. Brucella patients are required to be on antibiotics for weeks and sometimes months after getting sick.
DCHHS asks Dallas doctors to be aware of brucella and ask about travel history and potential exposure to dairy products from patients exhibiting consistent symptoms. If brucellosis is confirmed, labs are asked to put special security measures in place to avoid the bacteria becoming airborne. Dallas residents, obviously, are advised to avoid any unpasteurized or potentially unpasteurized cheese.
Centers for Disease Control lab risks for brucella.

This has been a banner year for Her Majesty. After two royal weddings and several successful tours, she now looks forward to her Diamond Jubilee in 2012.
Throughout the year, many events kept Her Majesty busy. We take a look back at 2011 in review:
- 10th: Singer Charlotte Church apologizes for referring to the Queen as 'an old woman [who] has no idea what's going on'. The Queen, who at almost 85 is one of the most experienced leaders in the world, wasn't bothered in the slightest. People begin asking, "Charlotte who? Casiraghi?"
- 24th: Official visit to Wales by Prince William to introduce his fiancée and future Queen consort, Catherine Middleton.
- 17th -18th: Prince William undertakes an official visit to New Zealand, representing The Queen.
- 19th -21st: Prince William continues on an official visit to Australia.
- 21st: The Queen turns 85.
- 23rd: The christening of Savannah Phillips, Elizabeth's first great-grandchild.
- 29th: Her grandson and eventual heir, Prince William, marries Catherine. They become the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
- 3rd – 5th: The Prince of Wales represents Her Majesty on a visit to the United States.
- 17th – 20th: State Visit to Ireland by The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh.
- 24th – 26th: State Visit from the President of the United States and Mrs. Obama. The President and First Lady also meet with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
- 2nd: The 58th anniversary of Her Majesty's coronation.
- 10th: Prince Philip celebrates his 90th birthday.
- 11th: Her Majesty's official birthday and Trooping the Color.
- 30th: The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge begin their extensive tour of Canada, representing the Queen.
- 1st – 8th: The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge continue their Canadian tour, with a brief stop in Los Angeles, California in the USA.
- 11th: The year was darkened by the loss of a lovely man. The Queen's first cousin, Lord Harewood, dies at age 88.
- 30th: The Queen's eldest granddaughter, Zara Phillips, marries rugby captain Mike Tindall in Scotland.
- 15th: Iranian media was caught publishing fake stories about an anti-monarchy uprising in the UK. The Guardian reports that the press for the Islamic regime used photos of the miners' strike of 1984, a bloodied man who was involved in a football skirmish in 2010, among others, to pretend that there were anti-monarchy riots across Britain.
- 12th: The BBC presents The Queen's Palaces, a three-part landmark television series hosted by Fiona Bruce.
- 19th – 29th: The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh tour Australia. A protocol controversy brews upon being met at the airport by Prime Minister Julia Gellard, who bowed instead of curtseying. The rest of the tour is a smashing success.
- 2nd: Working visit to Copenhagen by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. They meet with Crown Prince Frederik and his wife, Crown Princess Mary.
- 20th: The Queen and Prince Philip celebrate their 64th wedding anniversary.
- 22nd – 24th: The President of the Republic of Turkey and Mrs. Gül paid a State Visit to the UK as the guests of Queen Elizabeth II.
- The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh host one of the largest royal gatherings at Sandringham in years. A brief scare ensues when Prince Philip suffers chest pains and is taken to a nearby hospital. The Duke turns out to be fine, but requires a stent to open a blocked coronary artery.

I had laser done around my eyes for wrinkles and it has been almost a month and they look worse than they did. What could have caused this? Is this normal for wrinkles and crinkles to appear more prominent after laser resurfacing?
I also had neck lipo done with a new laser machine and it looks horrible....very lumpy looking and will this go away? The laser machine was supposed to heat up the fat and then extract the liquid fat out.

Why You Should Always Preheat Your Slow Cooker
Arguably, the most crucial flavor in a dish comes from the very first moments, when you sauté a few aromatics like chopped onions and garlic before proceeding with the recipe. That's when those simple flavors start to build, which eventually enhances your final result.
Some slow-cooker recipes that call for you to sauté these aromatics separately on the stove before adding them to the appliance require it for this reason; it's a chance to give as much flavor to the dish as you can. But then they have you dump the sautéed items into a cold slow cooker, along with everything else, before turning it on.
The Case for Preheating Your Slow Cooker
For Neela Paniz, chef and author of The New Indian Slow Cooker, it just didn't make much sense. "At first I was doing it that way, but as I was testing recipes for my cookbook more and more, I found that turning the slow cooker on to preheat while I was sautéing my aromatics had its benefits. I was then adding a hot dish to a hot dish, instead of starting all over again," she says.
Indian cooking, in particular, benefits from this sautéing of ingredients to create a base flavor. In fact, almost all Indian recipes call for you also to sauté your dry spices in oil first as well, aka blooming, which helps wake them up a bit. "But even if I was cooking a pot roast I would use this method, searing the meat on the stove while the slow cooker is warming up," says Neela.
How to Do It
It really doesn't take any more time, in fact it's actually saving you time. When you put hot ingredients into a cold slow cooker, everything has to heat back up again, which can tack on an extra 15 to 20 minutes of cooking time. "Your talking about having to bring what you already brought up to a certain temperature back up to the temperature," Neela says. Instead, while you're prepping your aromatics, turn the slow cooker on to high heat to get it up to temperature fast, and then turn it down to the appropriate temperature called for in the recipe when you put all of your ingredients in.
"Methodically, it make sense to me. After testing it this way for my cookbook, I went back and added this step to all of the recipes," she says. And we're happy she did, because it makes a whole lot of sense to us too.

Commuters can now find another way to get around, whether it's in the South Bay, up and down the Peninsula or in San Francisco, with the launch of the Bay Area Bike Share program.
More than 600 bikes are now parked at kiosks in San Francisco, Redwood City, San Jose, Mountain View and Palo Alto. The bikes are mainly stationed near transit hubs and popular destinations. Users can pay for either a 24-hour pass, 3-day pass or 1-year membership, that entitles them to check out the bike for 30 minutes. Longer trips cost extra.
The annual membership costs $88, 3-day pass is $22 and 24-hour pass is $9. There will soon be a pay-by-month plan as well. Overtime fees are $4 for trips between 31 and 60 minutes and $7 for each additional 30 minutes.
The hope is for commuters to take public transit to work, then use the bikes for the trip from the transit stop to their workplace. In the spring, an additional 300 bikes will be made available at kiosks in the five cities.
Alta Bike Share, based in Portland, is overseeing the more than $11 million program. The company operates bike share programs in the Washington, D.C. area, Boston metro region, Melbourne, Australia, Chattanooga, Tennessee, New York City, Chicago and Columbus, Ohio.
The seven-speed bikes are being manufactured by Canadian firm Public Bike System Company, which has supplied many of Alta Bike Share's other projects.
The kiosks are open 24 hours a day. Click here for more information, including a map of all of the locations.

South Carolina's football season concluded on New Year's Day with a 34-24 win over Big Ten opponent Wisconsin. The final minutes of the game had the Gamecock faithful chanting "S-E-C" in what has become a familiar end to the season. The Gamecocks have finished 11-2 for three years in a row and have won three straight bowl games in Florida.
Connor Shaw gave an emotional post-game speech as he celebrated the last time he would lead his school to victory. The senior signal caller will now look to prepare for the NFL Combine. Coach Steve Spurrier had glowing praise for his senior quarterback and the rest of the team.
What will 2013 be remembered as for South Carolina football? It was a year that began with SEC championship expectations and whispers of a trip to Pasadena beginning as early as last year's bowl victory. An early setback to bitter rival Georgia, and a shocking upset by Tennessee kept the Gamecocks from winning the SEC East for the third year in a row however. It is easy to label the 2013 season as a disappointment, but there are plenty of positives to take into the offseason.
Steve Spurrier, in his ninth season as head coach, led the Gamecocks to a third consecutive 11-2 season. Before he arrived in Columbia the Gamecocks' previous best season was a 10-2 finish in 1984. Eleven wins is an impressive mark, and only Oregon, Stanford, Alabama, and South Carolina have eleven or more wins the last three seasons. The Gamecocks have truly achieved something special that only the best of the best can match.
Being ranked in the top 25, once a feat in and of itself for South Carolina, is expected as the bare minimum now. South Carolina has been ranked in the last 71 polls. One would have to look at the preseason rankings for the 2010 season to find the last time the Gamecocks weren't nationally ranked. This longevity in the top 25 has given this program a level confidence that has never been seen in Columbia.
Another impressive streak is South Carolina's eighteen game win streak at home, longest active streak in the nation. The Gamecock fans have really stepped it up the last few years, and Williams Brice has become one of the toughest stadiums to play in.
There has been outside talk that this would be Spurrier's last chance to win the SEC with South Carolina. Shaw, star defensive end Jadeveon Clowney and other key players are leaving Columbia, and the 2013 schedule was considered to be the easiest for the Gamecocks.
While South Carolina will certainly miss those that are leaving for the draft, the truth is South Carolina has a strong core of returning talent again. South Carolina had only five seniors on the team this season which was the fewest in all of FBS.
This season showed some youngsters on both sides of the ball step up and prove they will be leaders for this team next season. Tailback Mike Davis had a hot start to the season before nagging injuries occured, and he finished with 1,183 yards. Linebackers Kaiwan Lewis and Skai Moore stepped in as freshmen and immediately made an impact. Elliot Fry brought stability to a kicking game that has greatly lacked since the days of Ryan Succop. Pharoh Cooper did a little bit of everything for the Gamecocks, and Spurrier is very excited about the young play-maker's future at South Carolina. All of these young players will help form a strong core of returning players for the Gamecocks.
2013 will be remembered as the year South Carolina football made its claim as one of the best programs in the country. The wins were already there. The dedicated and loyal fans were already there. The extremely talented coaching staff and players were already there. The missing piece that clicked in 2013 was a confidence and swagger that has brought this team to the next level.
2013 wasn't the year South Carolina missed its last chance, but the year that the Gamecocks told the country they are here to stay.
