Top Answers To Mount Rushmore Travel Questions
Pieter answered:We camped at one of the more rustic campgrounds in the area (can't remember the name, but it was one of the National Forest campgrounds and down this nearly impassable road). We did some nice hikes in the area of Wind Cave and saw the Crazy Horse monument being built. The best thing we saw was the drive along Peter Norbeck highway...there's a lookout point at the top where you can see Rushmore in the distance. To be honest, the coolest part about the whole experience was soaking in the local, mmm, culture: lots of wide-open spaces and miner-shacks-turned-saloons there. It hasn't changed much since the Deadwood days.

The construction company hired to build Palm Beach County's new $600 million waste-to-energy plant has employed more local workers then it was required to under the terms of its contract, Inspector General Sheryl Steckler's office said Thursday.
A nine-page report released by Steckler's office found that 35.4 percent of the skilled laborers and 92.2 percent of the unskilled workers hired by KBR Construction to build the new incinerator plant live in Palm Beach County. The company's contract with the county's Solid Waste Authority requires that a minimum of 20 percent of all skilled laborers and 70 percent of non-skilled workers hired for the project live locally.

Franken focuses on economy, energy during trip through state
With all the discord in Washington, nothing is better than coming home to the reality of Minnesota, Sen. Al Franken told the Duluth Greater Downtown Council at its annual dinner last Wednesday.
With all the discord in Washington, nothing is better than coming home to the reality of Minnesota, Sen. Al Franken told the Duluth Greater Downtown Council at its annual dinner last Wednesday.
The only thing that makes it better, the Democratic first-term senator said at the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center gathering, is to be able to spend some time with his son, Joe, 27. The two Franken men were traveling the state touring manufacturing plants. The younger Franken is studying for an MBA and a master's degree in mechanical engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which may come in handy to helping explain some manufacturing processes to his dad.
Franken expressed pride in his son in other ways, too. Following a comment by Duluth Mayor Don Ness that his young son, Owen, born almost exactly a year ago, had finally slept through the night, Franken quipped: "Joe sleeps through the night."
But he quickly got back to business.
"I know we have bright days ahead," he said, speaking of ideas to boost job creation in Minnesota and throughout the country despite the dire economy and political gridlock in Washington.
An opportunity for the Gopher State is to retrofit public and private buildings to create energy efficiency — savings that will pay for themselves by reducing heating costs in Minnesota winters, Franken said.
Then there is support for the area's established industries. Earlier in the day, he made a one-hour stop at Sappi Fine Paper in Cloquet, meeting with company leaders and touring a portion of the mill that employs 750 people.
Sappi officials were more than happy to inform Franken of some of the measures undertaken at the Cloquet mill to boost energy efficiency and make the manufacturing process more environmentally friendly.
"A couple of the things we're especially proud of include our work on energy savings and smell reduction," said mill manager Rick Dwyer. "One thing about pulp mills is that sometimes you can smell them 40 miles away, but you really can't smell this one."
Dwyer told Franken that Sappi would very much appreciate his support in pending legislation to regulate the use of biomass — organic material made from plants — as it is converted into fuel.
"I think it's insane not to take advantage of it," Franken said.
"But getting there is the challenge," Dwyer said.
"That's part of my job," Franken said.
He spoke with St. Louis County Commissioner Steve O'Neil about retrofitting ideas Wednesday. The idea is key for the Downtown Council as it tries to keep downtown humming and filling empty buildings.
"Duluth is so reinvigorating for people doing great work," Franken said.
He praised the new health and science building at Lake Superior College and its commitment to training tomorrow's workers in the region as a "statement to hard work and dedication" after many vetoes on state funding.
Franken also toured the Cirrus plane manufacturing plant in Duluth on Wednesday.
He will continue the tour with stops in St. Cloud and Waite Park. Earlier this month, he visited sites in Red Wing and Lake City.
Franken spoke humorously and personally at the dinner. He focused on the economy and what it means to be "middle class" these days compared to the three decades after World War II, a period of dramatic national economic growth that he lived through as a child.
"I felt like the luckiest kid in the world," he said of the security in jobs, good schools and vibrant communities. "These were good times."
He said the growth in incomes added to tax bases and thus the fuel to build the nation's infrastructure backbone. The bottom fifth of wage earners from 1947 to 1977 had a greater increase in earnings than the top fifth, he said.
But today, he said, the middle class is struggling. And the safety net for families is failing, he said.
Finding ways to reuse old infrastructure and finding energy savings is only part of the solution, Franken said.
There has to be an investment in education, he said. Talks with business owners and industry experts revealed that more than half of Minnesota manufacturers have job openings they can't fill, Franken said.
He's pushing hard for access to what are referred to as "STEM skills," including science, technology, engineering and math. "They're mandatory" at most businesses today, Franken said. "Eighteen of the top-25 top-growing industries require them."
"I'm fighting for increased funding for job-training education," he said, referring back to creating a healthier definition of middle class. "These are the folks coming down and powering this community," he said.
Wendy Johnson of the Pine Journal contributed to this report.

"Simply King of the Smarphones ever!!!"

Cons Battery (I need more power Scotty!), OCR function (Still needs work)
Summary A feature-rich high-octane Super-phone that caught everyone's eye at a party last night. Before long people were approaching me to see the techno-wizardy that Samsung had packed into the handset. The bilingual party goers were enthusiastic with S Translate claiming it wasn't perfect but left Google translate in the dust. The photographers of the group were impressed with the camera and various modes on offer. Oohs and aahs came when I showed off the eraser and Sound Shot features.
This person clearly never picked up a Galaxy S4. I have now used the device for 15 hours and have yet to experience any crashing, hanging or sudden reboots.

- Gets hot very easily
- Battery life could be better
- Speaker placement
- Samsung bloatware
- NFC/S Beam sometimes takes multiple triesSummary ***Notice: This is from a Verizon customer.***
Update: I've switched to an iPhone 5 recently and it pretty much validates why I was frustrated with the Galaxy S4. Even with less RAM and fewer cores/speed in the CPU, the iPhone's speed runs laps around the Galaxy S4's; it also has almost no stutter over wifi, whereas the S4 would sometimes freeze up for no reason.
I've never really owned a smartphone prior to my Galaxy S4. The closest I've come was making do with an iPod Touch, first the 4th and then the 5th generation. However, hearing about all the flexibility of Android devices piqued my interest in an Android phone, and once their screens and other specs were up to par, the Galaxy S3 specifically caught my eye.
So when the S4 was announced, I'd read a lot of articles online and bought into the hype. Even before I had the phone, I knew that the touchless features (air gesture, smart pause, etc.) probably wouldn't be too useful to me anyway. But a faster processor, better screen - in fact, pretty much better everything - built up my expectations and roused my excitement.
And almost two weeks into using the phone, all I can say is that while some of the features, bells and whistles are cool, the phone utterly disappoints me when it comes to basic functions.
For starters, there are occasional instances when my phone just doesn't want to load information that requires an internet connection. The request will time out after the loading takes eons - if I want to see the comments or likes on a friend's facebook status? The loading animated circle will just keep on going 10, 20 seconds in, until I get bored and try to re-load their status. Same with twitter, same with youtube, and sometimes even the same with my e-mail. I wanted to believe at first that it was just Facebook which was lagging, but after more apps followed suite I'm disappointed. Give or take this is an occasional hiccup but it's still irritating.
Not only that, but the syncing needs some improvement. Push notifications from social media apps leave much to be desired. When someone sends me a private message on Facebook, replies to one of my tweets, likes a picture I post on instagram, etc; the phone does not notify me. I've tried tinkering with the settings over this to no avail.
The battery life isn't horrible, but I expected more. It's hard to pinpoint exactly what's draining it fast without sounding nitpicky. Of course using the navigation is going to eat at it faster, as will looking for places on Yelp or just browsing the internet in general. But seeing the battery go down at a rate of 1% per minute (not an exaggeration) was disappointing. I hope that's all smartphones and not just my S4, otherwise I'd feel like I really got the short end of the stick. Yes, I could turn off a lot of features and save the juice more, but the point of a phone is to be able to see the screen for longer than five seconds before it auto-dims. I could just get a second battery, keep both charged before I head out into my day, and swap it out when the first one gets low. But that would involve repeatedly snapping the back cover off and on, inducing wear and tear on it eventually. A lot of people already complain enough that the back is "plastic and flimsy". Still, you can change this phone's battery. That's an edge over the iPhone and HTC phones already when, one year in, the battery endurance drops significantly and you have to wait another year before your two year contract renews. And of course you could get an extended, thicker battery, but that makes using your custom cases a bit harder, as well as complicating NFC/S Beam capabilities.
Speaking of which - it's wonderful after the 5th try, but even then it sometimes takes a while. A video, for example, will take a good solid few minutes. It's not as instant as one might hope, but it is a nifty feature.
As for the other advantage that goes hand in hand with a removable battery (expandable storage via microSD card) - A lot of people complain that you can't store apps on the SD card, and that a good chunk of the phone's 16 GB storage is used up already. In my experience, pretty much any device promising a given amount of storage will have slightly less, but this is a much more significant chunk - 7 GB were already used and I only had 9 GB to work with. However, I did expand my storage through a microSD card (29 GB's more off a 32 GB card - interesting how a 32 GB microSD card only leaves 3 less GB to work with, while a 16 GB phone leaves 7 less), and of the 9 GB's on the phone, the apps I've downloaded thus far really haven't used more than 2 GB. The rest of whatever data I'd want to download on a smartphone anyway - documents, pictures, videos, etc - can all go right to the microSD card, so the actual device memory is fine by me since I let it allocate mostly for the system workings. However, it was still kind of a disappointing surprise. Additionally, the microSD card can ironically turn into a disadvantage from what I've heard of a typical Android phone - while the iPhones and HTC phones will see a decline in battery peformance after a year, the phones with expandable storage will sometimes disconnect from the microSD card and have trouble recognizing it a year into ownership as well. Hopefully it won't happen with my beloved new S4 but we'll see.
The camera is definitely capable of taking some decent pictures, and the different kinds of modes definitely are interesting if you take your time to experiment with them. Yes, there is a tiny bit of lag between pressing the button and then the picture going through, but I've experienced the same on my 5th generation iPod Touch and I can only assume that it's a similar principle for the iPhones - after all, there's autofocus which takes place as well as brightness adjustment.
There are complaints about this phone heating up - Again, most devices heat up under heavy use. That's why computers and game consoles have fans, and when mini-computers like these don't have much for a venting system, it's inevitably going to get warm when you surf the net, make calls or watch videos. However, relative to the iPod Touch I've worked with, this phone DOES get a bit hot a bit faster.
Overall, even though no phone is perfect, the Galaxy S4 is still less perfect than I'd hoped. Hopefully over time Samsung will try to rectify the issue to appease the 10 million owners of this new phone with updates and bug fixes, and those will smooth the phone over a bit. But I just wish it'd been a super solid product right out of the box.

"A bit of a letdown from Samsung"
on by albertociarrPros Camera
Powerful CPU and graphics
Frequent Updates from SamsungCons Poor build quality
Useless Samsung Apps occupying lots of GBs
Not so responsive
Outdated TouchWiz designSummary The Best: Powerful, amazing screen, camera with tons of features. Everything that was good on GS3 is still here.
The Worst: The phone does not look like a premium device: you have the same cheap plastic you could find on all the other galaxy devices, and even the design is a little...anonymous. It is a Galaxy 3 with a bigger screen and a better camera in the end. Even holding It, it is difficult to say if It is a GS4 or a GS3.
Also, even with such a powerful CPU, It still struggles to be fluid and responsive because of all the useless apps running in background. Maybe having videos pause when you are not looking could be a great idea on paper, but in practice it is almost never helpful: if you are really distracted, it will pause too late, and if you are just moving your head it will become really annoying. -
"Hello Galaxy S4! bye bye iphone"
on by PaulolinguiniPros Super fast, amazing and complete android OS, great screen clarity, fantastic camera, battery life is good, soooooo many apps, neat new features.
Cons Screen glare is high is direct sunlight, some kind of manual for basic features or a web link, nothing else really

Posted: 2:28 p.m. Friday, Oct. 28, 2011
By Jessica Fera
Filming for "One Shot," starring Tom Cruise, is under way in Pittsburgh, and the production's need for a helicopter pad brought the Hollywood star and the movie's Oscar-winning director to the Channel 11 studios for a week in October.
The extremely cool-looking choppers, flown by locally-owned Cherokee Helicopter Service, transported Cruise, director Christopher McQuarrie, and other various crew members back and forth from a movie location in Saltsburg.
Cruise was very nice and extremely approachable, posing for pictures each day with small groups of excited employees who'd gather outside when they'd hear his chopper landing. He even signed autographs and made small talk while waiting to take off.
Cruise told us that in addition to his starring role as Jack Reacher, he's also one of the film's producers and has been putting in 18-hour days, which include fight scenes in machine-made freezing rain. While temperatures in Pittsburgh have mostly stayed in the 50's and 60's this fall, conditions on the set are so cold, Cruise said, that he has his own personal Jacuzzi to warm him up between takes, and said he's even battling hypothermia.
So how does Cruise spend the little time he has when he's not on set? Working on his lines isn't his biggest concern, Cruise said, the physical demands of the role are what he finds most challenging.
While Cruise was always quick to strike up a conversation off-camera, when we asked him for an on-camera interview he declined, saying he's "running on all four cylinders" and wasn't up for an interview.
McQuarrie, who won an Oscar for one of my favorite films, "The Usual Suspects," was happy to go on-camera, however, and started off by explaining to me how "One Shot" ended up in Pittsburgh.
"Pittsburgh chose us," McQuarrie said. "Apparently the city has very good incentives for coming and shooting here. We compared this city to all of the other potential cities we could shoot in and it just made the most sense. Crews here have a great reputation and the city itself has been very accommodating so there wasn't even a distant second choice."
So after filming here for a month, is Pittsburgh living up to his expectations?
"We've had a great time," McQuarrie said. "The city has been really accommodating and they've helped us with everything we need. Obviously, we've been making quite a racket and they've been very helpful. And the local crew and the local actors as well. We've hired a lot of local people to be in the film and they've just been fantastic."
"One Shot" is only McQuarrie's second movie in the director's seat, but he wrote the screenplays for "Valkyrie" and "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol" (in theaters December 2011), which both star Cruise. So did he write the adaptation of "One Shot" with the actor in mind?
"No, I wasn't," McQuarrie said. "Only because that would've been too good to be true. I just wrote the script trying to be as faithful as I could to Lee Child's novel and when Tom said he wanted to do it that was sort of the best of everything."
Many fans of the best-selling series are in an uproar over the casting of Cruise as Reacher, who in the books is described as an imposing figure at 6 foot, 5 inches and somewhere between 210 and 250 pounds with a quiet, stoic demeanor.
For the skeptics, McQuarrie has a message.
"I invite them to come and see the movie and I guarantee they're going to be happy. We have their feelings very much in mind," he said. "I think the fans of the book are going to find an incredibly faithful adaptation of the book itself and an incredibly faithful adaptation of the character. And fans of movies are just going to find a great movie."
Off-camera, Cruise agreed; eager to discuss the great talent that signed on for the film, throwing in some positive words about the female-lead, British actress Rosamund Pike, and Australian actor Jai Courtney, who happened to be at WPXI that day.
"It's going to be a great movie," he said.
Being a child of the 1980's and a big fan of Cruise's early works such as "Top Gun," "Days of Thunder" and "Cocktail," I had to ask McQuarrie about the rumors that he was approached by Paramount to pen the script for a "Top Gun 2."
"I'm not involved," McQuarrie said with a smile.
While McQuarrie, Cruise and the rest of the "One Shot" crew won't be stopping by Channel 11 on a daily basis any more, they will be filming the movie in locations throughout Pittsburgh through January. It's set to hit theaters in February 2013.

As an expression both of intense anxiety and of intense joy, this poem can seem to be on the serious side. But all the language play within the poem lightens the tone, and can give us a different perspective on life, whether we agree with the poem's ideas or not.
The speaker in "God's Grandeur" doesn't understand the problems of a person who has to work to exist in the world.

Rackley, the Jaguars' rookie left guard, said while it's true he played better in recent weeks just before the bye than he did early in the season, he in no way looks at tape seven regular-season games into his NFL career and sees everything he wants to see.
Still, he does see improvement.
And Rackley, the Jaguars' third-round selection in the 2011 NFL Draft, said that's something he wants to continue to see moving forward.
"As the year progresses, I think I'm learning more and more," Rackley said this week as the Jaguars (2-6) prepared to play the Indianapolis Colts (0-9) Sunday at 1 p.m. at Lucas Oil Stadium in downtown Indianapolis.
"I think I'm building a comfort level. There's still a lot to learn, but I think that's what it is."
Those around the Jaguars say that that comfort level is causing Rackley to look more and more like the player the Jaguars believed they were drafting last April, when team made him the No. 76 overall selection in the draft.
"He doesn't make a lot of mistakes to begin with," Jaguars Head Coach Jack Del Rio said. "He doesn't make the same mistakes over and over. I think he's gaining experience on some of the things he has seen the first half of the year.
"Some of those things, because he's not making the same mistakes, he's improving."
Rackley's development has helped give the Jaguars solid play on the left side of the line in recent weeks, something that wasn't always the case in preseason and early in the season.
Smith also credited Monroe with aiding Rackley's development, and said the two represent a duo that could give the Jaguars a strong left side of the line for the foreseeable future.
"I try to do what (former Jaguars guard) Vince Manuwai did for me," Monroe said. "I try to be a positive role model as far as work ethic, and as far as football skills to try to share as much knowledge as I have with him. In turn, that makes me better, too, because I'm reinforcing it so that we can grow together."
Rackley played left tackle his final three seasons at Lehigh, and said the switch from playing in college on the outside to playing interior in the NFL was more difficult than he anticipated.
"It equals a big change of the position – tighter sets and a tighter window for punching the guy," Rackley said. "You have to adjust to the defensive linemen having a more direct line to the quarterbacks. Those little things are a big deal and I'm getting a good grasp of that now."
Rackley said you get through such a period by remembering, "It's just football."
"You have to have a quick memory," he said. "You have a bad play, just keep going. You have a bad play, keep going. You keep running every day. I know I'm going to get better and I'm just focusing on that."
Rackley, after starting the first two games of the regular season, missed Week 3, started against Cincinnati when Monroe missed with a stinger, then played again as a reserve the following week. He returned to the starting lineup against Pittsburgh on October 16 when
Against the Ravens, Rackley helped limit Pro Bowl defensive tackle Haloti Ngata. In the Jaguars' final game before the bye, a loss to the Houston Texans, Rackley left briefly with an ankle injury before returning to finish the game and again playing consistently and solidly.
"He has showed some grit, he has battled," Del Rio said. "In our last ballgame, to get a little rolled up, and to throw some extra tape on it and go back out – that was a good sign in terms of an offensive lineman being able to suck it up and go out there and be tough and play in the trenches for us."
The Jaguars rushed for 132 yards against the Ravens, with
"It definitely gave me a boost of confidence, playing against that type of defense," Rackley said. "Playing on Monday night, I was excited, so it gave me a great deal of confidence."
Monroe said Rackley was not only a big part of the success against the Ravens, he has been key to the Jaguars' offensive line in the last several weeks.
"A lot of it is just coming from him, understanding the game a little more," Monroe said. "He's starting to play the game a little more physical. I'm happy with him. I think he's doing a great job."
And while it might have been possible for a rookie – particularly one with no off-season from a smaller school – to use such things as an excuse, Monroe said Rackley never did.
"This is the NFL," Monroe said. "It doesn't matter if you've been here five years, 10 years or one year. You have to play on Sunday, and anything else doesn't matter. Will just kept working. He wasn't the only one on the offensive line getting criticism.
"We all just kind of shut everything out and just kept working

Isaac's Birthday Celebrations!
Last week, Isaac turned six years old. He has grown into such a sweet boy! We had a great week of celebration, starting with receiving a gift in the mail on Tuesday from Aunt Kati and Uncle Ray. They got him a Lego kit that can be used to build an airplane, a car, and a helicopter. He loved it! He loved getting a package in the mail and he really loved what was in the package. It meant so much that his aunt and uncle far away in Indiana were so sweet to send him such a special birthday gift. He immediately started working on it himself and put the plane together. I was amazed at how he followed the directions so carefully!
On Wednesday night, Aunt Michelle and cousins BJ and Carly came over for dinner and a double birthday celebration for Isaac and Carly (Carly's birthday is November 19th and Isaac's is the 21st!) We had vegetable soup and bread, followed by Carly's birthday cake choice - homemade Dirt Pie (something Michelle and Steven grew up eating. It was one of their Mom's specialties!) They got Isaac two games - Skip Bo Junior and Twister - for his birthday. We gave Carly a necklace with a tiny notepad on it (she's 9 now. It was a cool 9-year-old kind of a necklace.) BJ, Isaac and I enjoyed playing Twister while Michelle, Carly, Elise and Steven sang and played music upstairs. We had a great time together!
On Isaac's actual birthday, Thursday the 21st, we had so much fun! It started out with Isaac making eggs for all of us. He loves to scramble eggs, which he's worked hard to perfect. (He is currently growing his skills at making omelets.) Then Isaac opened some cards he'd received in the mail from my parents and grandparents. He enjoyed making a paper airplane that was in my parents' card.
After lunch my mom went with us to Discovery Place Kids. We had a great time there! The kids enjoyed playing in the restaurant, the store, and upstairs with the cars and ball races.
After a dinner of pancakes (Isaac's choice!), he lit his own candles and we didn't sing to him, per his request. He blew his candles out and enjoyed more cake.
Our gift to Isaac was this wooden barn, which he had to build himself.
On Friday, my dad came over to give Isaac his gift, which was a very cool remote control helicopter in a ball frame (which keeps it safe from hitting things and falling apart.) Isaac loved it! He has been asking for a remote control helicopter all year, so this was very special for him.
On Saturday, we had Isaac's "friends party". He wanted to invite his three closest friends to his party - Gabby, Jacob and Joseph. We took them to Monkey Joe's to play for a while, and then we went to Moe's for lunch and cake. Isaac wanted a football cake, just like his Daddy had for his 30th birthday. "Except mine has cupcakes, right Mom?!"
Isaac had a blast playing with his buddies! And he specifically asked us to not sing to him or clap. So, again, we lit the candles and he blew them out. Then he opened his presents. And we gave out goody bags. This was our first friends party, and it went great!
What a great week of celebrating a great little guy! We love you so much Isaac Ryan!

Cuomo says he'll focus on gun control
Governor Andrew Cuomo says curbing gun violence will be a priority in the next legislative session.
The governor, who has been a long time gun control advocate, did not champion any gun control bills during the legislative session that ended earlier this summer. Cuomo says in the new session, which begins in January, that will change.
"The gun violence has reached an undeniable point where it's hard for anyone to refute the damage that's being done," said Cuomo. "It's time to find out what else we can do and explore what else we can do."
Cuomo did not offer specifics but says he backs a bill now in the state Senate that would require micro-stamping of cartridges to help police better identify and track guns used to commit crimes.
State Senator Michael Gianaris, a Queens Democrat, proposed a package of bills earlier in the week that the senator says could make New York the toughest state in the nation against illegal guns.
The measures include limiting hand gun purchases to one per month and requiring a 10-day waiting period for gun purchases and mandatory safety courses for buyers. Gun dealers would have to work more closely with law enforcement, and report all sales of firearms to the state's Division of Criminal Justice, where they'd be kept on file for a decade.

text: We are trying to buy a house and had a radon test done. It came back with a level of 10 (should be under 4). I've done some internet research (waiting to hear back from a professional radon contractor), and it sounds to me like it's not too expensive (on the high side should be under 2K) and is fairly reliable. But DH says he's looking into it, and he's seeing costs of over 10K, and that it still won't necessarily be safe. What is with the discrepancy? When he gets home we can look together and see what we find, but we are on a short timeline here (need to decide in 2 days if we want to keep going or walk away), and since it's Friday, if I need to line up someone to come do an estimate, I'll probably have to do it before he gets home. Has anyone had experience with this? Can anyone point me towards odds of the mitigation failing? Why are we finding such complete opposite information?? (OK, I don't really expect anyone to be able that last one ). Help!

WGP Ranger 5089 as in your photos belonged to JunglePeanut in Jan 2010 according the MCB archives. Thank you Google! You have to expect the community to raise an eyebrow to that kind of collection coming into your possession, and to expect questions about the provenance of the guns. As the members have explained, those are very valuable and collectable guns which must have belonged to a MCB member or were known to an MCB member. Revealing that info will certainly help in establishing the legitimacy of ownership. Welcome aboard, and good luck. WGP ranger question |

I sold that Ranger a while ago on Craigslist down here in Southern California. The guy who bought it did not seem to know a ton about it but seemed really into trying to buy some old/rare markers. I will say it was incredibly clean.

No offense to the op but it's very odd for a new person to show up randomly with such a large and expensive collection of guns.

Thanks jungle peanut for pointing out that you sold that gun on Craigslist. Actually all the guns I posted were guns my buddies father owned. His father had a stroke and his mother gave him all of his fathers guns, since he would not be using them anymore. So that's why all the guns were posted since we knew nothing about them. And now some of them are for sale on eBay under the seller 661fgarcia. So there's the backstory!!!

Adapting a writer-independent classifier toward the unique handwriting style of a particular writer has the potential to significantly increase accuracy for personalized handwriting recognition. This paper proposes a novel framework of style transfer mapping (STM) for writer adaptation. The STM is a writer-specific class-independent feature transformation which has a closed-form solution. After style transfer mapping, the data of different writers are projected onto a style-free space, where the writer-independent classifier needs no change to classify the transformed data and can achieve significantly higher accuracy. The framework of STM can be combined with different types of classifiers for supervised, unsupervised, and semi-supervised adaptation, where writer-specific data can be either labeled or unlabeled and need not cover all classes. In this paper, we combine STM with the state-of-the-art classifiers for large-category Chinese handwriting recognition: learning vector quantization (LVQ) and modified quadratic discriminant function (MQDF). Experiments on the online Chinese handwriting database CASIA-OLHWDB demonstrate that STM-based adaptation is very efficient and effective in improving classification accuracy. Semi-supervised adaptation achieves the best performance, while unsupervised adaptation is even better than supervised adaptation. On handwritten text data, semi-supervised adaptation achieves error reduction rates 31.95 and 25.00 percent by LVQ and MQDF, respectively.

And this week's winner of the Shitterson Match of the Night
is...WWE Champion CM Punk vs. Jack Swagger! I didn't have high hopes going into
this match for a few reasons. First, Swagger is more than a little problematic.
While he's had neat matches in the past against guys like Christian and John
Cena, those are two of the best wrestlers in the industry, and could probably
carry me to a decent match. Also, Swagger is a hell of a lot larger than Punk,
which I worried might limit his moveset during the contest.
All of that concern was misplaced, however, as the two put
on a solid, compelling match, with Punk even accomplishing what a never-ending
series of beatings from Sheamus couldn't: He made Swagger look good. He didn't
look as good as Punk, of course, but he still looked like a credible
competitor, courtesy of some solid storytelling-based wrestling that played to
Swagger's considerable strengths, without giving him time or space to go into
the robotic mode that so many of his matches fall into. The match was so good
that the wacky, inexplicable ref botch at the end didn't even bug me.
Finally, it bears mentioning that Punk has gotten into
really phenomenal shape in recent months - much more cut up and muscular than
we've seen him in years.
