This section covers some best practices for working with tables.
Provisioned throughput is dependent on the primary key selection, and the workload patterns on individual items. When storing data, DynamoDB divides a table's items into multiple partitions, and distributes the data primarily based on the hash key element. The provisioned throughput associated with a table is also divided evenly among the partitions, with no sharing of provisioned throughput across partitions.
Total provisioned throughput/partitions = throughput per partition.
Consequently, to achieve the full amount of request throughput you have provisioned for a table, keep your workload spread evenly across the hash key values. Distributing requests across hash key values distributes the requests across partitions.
For example, if a table has a very small number of heavily accessed hash key elements, possibly even a single very heavily used hash key element, traffic is concentrated on a small number of partitions – potentially only one partition. If the workload is heavily unbalanced, meaning disproportionately focused on one or a few partitions, the operations will not achieve the overall provisioned throughput level. To get the most out of DynamoDB throughput, build tables where the hash key element has a large number of distinct values, and values are requested fairly uniformly, as randomly as possible.
This behavior does not imply that you need to access all of the hash keys, or even that the percentage of accessed hash keys needs to be high to achieve your throughput level. But, be aware that when your workload accesses more distinct hash keys, those operations are spread out across the partitioned space in a manner that better utilizes your allocated throughput level. In general, you utilize throughput more efficiently as the ratio of hash keys accessed to total hash keys in a table grows.
The following table compares some common hash key schema for provisioned throughput efficiency.
|Hash key value
User ID, where the application has many users.
|Status code, where there are only a few possible status codes.
|Device ID, where even if there are a lot of devices being tracked, one is by far more popular than all the others.
When the number of hash key values in a single table is very few, consider distributing your write operations across more distinct hash values. In other words, consider the primary key elements to avoid one "hot" (heavily requested) hash key value that slows overall performance.
For example, consider a composite primary hash and range key table where the hash key
represents a device ID, and where device ID "D17" is particularly heavily requested. To
increase the read and write throughput for this "hot" hash key, pick a random number
chosen from a fixed set (for example 1 to 200) and concatenate it with the device ID (so
you get
D17.2 through
D17.200). Due to
randomization, writes for device ID "D17" are spread evenly across the multiple hash key
values, yielding better parallelism and higher overall throughput.
This strategy greatly improves the write throughput, but reads for a specific item
become harder since you don't know which of the 200 keys contains the item. You can
improve this strategy to get better read characteristics: instead of choosing a
completely random number, choose a number that you are able to calculate from something
intrinsic to the item. For example, if the item represents a person that has the device,
calculate the hash key suffix from their name, or user ID. This calculation should
compute a number between 1 and 200 that is fairly evenly distributed given any set of
names (or user IDs.) A simple calculation generally suffices (such as, the product of
the ASCII values for the letters in the person's name modulo 200 + 1). Now, the writes
are spread evenly across the hash keys (and thus partitions). And
you can easily perform a get operation, because you can determine the hash key you need
when you want to retrieve a specific "device owner" value. Query operations still need
to run against all
D17.x keys, and your application needs some logic on the
client side to merge all of the query results for each hash key (200 in this case). But,
the schema avoids having one "hot" hash key taking all of the workload.
To increase the provisioned throughput, use the UpdateTable operation. For more information about hash key elements, see Primary Key.
There are times when you load data from other data sources into DynamoDB. Typically, DynamoDB partitions your table data on multiple servers. When uploading data to a table, you get better performance if you upload data to all the allocated servers simultaneously. For example, suppose you want to upload user messages to a DynamoDB table. You might design a table that uses a hash and range type primary key in which UserID is the hash attribute and the MessageID is the range attribute. When uploading data from your source, you might tend to read all message items for a specific user and upload these items to DynamoDB as shown in the sequence in the following table.
|... up to 100
|... up to 200
The problem in this case is that you are not distributing your write requests to DynamoDB across your hash key values. You are taking one hash key at a time and uploading all its items before going to the next hash key items. Behind the scenes, DynamoDB is partitioning the data in your tables across multiple servers. To fully utilize all of the throughput capacity that has been provisioned for your tables, you need to distribute your workload across your hash keys. In this case, by directing an uneven amount of upload work toward items all with the same hash key, you may not be able to fully utilize all of the resources DynamoDB has provisioned for your table. You can distribute your upload work by uploading one item from each hash key first. Then you repeat the pattern for the next set of range keys for all the items until you upload all the data as shown in the example upload sequence in the following table:
Every upload in this sequence uses a different hash key, keeping more DynamoDB servers busy simultaneously and improving your throughput performance.
For each table that you create, you specify the throughput requirements. DynamoDB allocates and reserves resources to handle your throughput requirements with sustained low latency. When you design your application and tables, you should consider your application's access pattern to make the most efficient use of your table's resources.
Suppose you design a table to track customer behavior on your site, such as URLs that they click. You might design the table with hash and range type primary key with Customer ID as the hash attribute and date/time as the range attribute. In this application, customer data grows indefinitely over time; however, the applications might show uneven access pattern across all the items in the table where the latest customer data is more relevant and your application might access the latest items more frequently and as time passes these items are less accessed, eventually the older items are rarely accessed. If this is a known access pattern, you could take it into consideration when designing your table schema. Instead of storing all items in a single table, you could use multiple tables to store these items. For example, you could create tables to store monthly or weekly data. For the table storing data from the latest month or week, where data access rate is high, request higher throughput and for tables storing older data, you could dial down the throughput and save on resources.
So storing "hot" items in one table with higher throughput and "cold" items with reduced throughput requirements help you save on resources. You can remove old items by simply deleting the tables. You can optionally backup these tables to other storage options such as Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). Deleting an entire table is significantly more efficient than removing items one-by-one, which essentially doubles the write throughput as you do as many delete operations as put operations.
Some items in a table might be more popular than others. For example, consider the ProductCatalog table that is described in Example Tables and Data, and suppose that this table contains millions of different products. Some products might be very popular among customers, so those items would be consistently accessed more frequently than the others. As a result, the distribution of read activity on ProductCatalog would be highly skewed toward those popular items.
One solution would be to cache these reads at the application layer. Caching is a technique that is used in many high-throughput applications, offloading read activity on hot items to the cache rather than to the database. Your application can cache the most popular items in memory, or use a product such as ElastiCache to do the same.
Continuing with the ProductCatalog example, when a customer requests an item from that table, the application would first consult the cache to see if there is a copy of the item there. If so, it is a cache hit; otherwise, it is a cache miss. When there is a cache miss, the application would need to read the item from DynamoDB and store a copy of the item in the cache. Over time, the cache misses would decrease as the cache fills with the most popular items; applications would not need to access DynamoDB at all for these items.
A caching solution can mitigate the skewed read activity for popular items. In addition, since it reduces the amount of read activity against the table, caching can help reduce your overall costs for using DynamoDB.

Taking Care of Yourself After Childbirth
The postpartum period begins after the delivery of the baby and ends when the mother's body has returned as closely as possible to its pre-pregnant state. This period usually lasts six to eight weeks.
The postpartum period involves the mother progressing through many changes, both emotionally and physically, while learning how to deal with all the changes and adjustments required in becoming a new mother. The postpartum period also involves the parents learning how to care for their newborn and learning how to function as a changed family unit.
Listed in the directory below, you will find information regarding postpartum care, for which we have provided a brief overview.

Activation may depend on how you've deployed it.
Why can't we open smartboard 11 on windows 7 through another brand of IWB? We are getting the message: Thanks for using Smartboard etc......
Any solutions please. We have country licenses for both brands of boards.
Activation may depend on how you've deployed it.
Thanks for your support but i cannot understand the technicalities on the .pdf. I am not a technician i am only a class teacher who is looking for a step by step easy solution. Is there one?
Because smart 11 is only licensesd for use on a "Smart" board - if you try and use it with another brand of board its against the license agreement.
Ok thanks for letting me know.

Our secretary printed off a copy of our updated staff handbook, everything printed ok except for 1 page which had nearly all of the text missing - the only thing that prints is 5 out of 8 bullet points.
I've copied some of the text into another document and still have the same issue however any text added seperatly is visible, changing the font preferences also makes no difference.
In print preview everything appears as normal however once sent to a printer the affected text no longer appears, its not printer specific and even happens with a PDF printer.
I've attached a sample document with a few lines of text from the affected page and some sample text, I've checked the document for macros, there are none.
I've only spent 20 or so mins on this so far and may just need coffee but so far I can't see what the difference is between the text.

The Wall Street Journal has a piece on – hold on, gotta check my email. Where was I?
That's right, a story about workplace distractions and how companies are dealing with them…
Within Intel Corp.'s 14,000-person Software and Services group, workers were concerned that they weren't getting time to think deeply about problems because they spent much of their time keeping up with day-to-day tasks. So earlier this fall, managers decided to pilot a program allowing employees to block out several hours a week for heads-down work.
During four weekly hours of "think time"—tracked via group calendar and spreadsheet—workers aren't expected to respond to emails or attend meetings, unless it's urgent, or if they're working on collaborative projects.
Already, at least one employee has developed a patent application in those hours, while others have caught up on the work they're unable to get to during frenetic workdays, says Linda April, a manager in the group.
Dozens of software firms have developed products to tame worker inboxes, ranging from task-management software to programs that screen and sort email, but their effectiveness is limited without organizational change.
Another company is stopping emails entirely. (Run that one by your boss.) There's a lot more at the link, so check it out.

BUFFALO, N.Y. - A local restaurant is rewarding Darnell Barton, the NFTA bus driver credited with saving a woman's life.
On October 18th, Barton started his day as he usually does. He had just picked up students at McKinley High School when he noticed a woman looking down from an overpass at the traffic below.
The woman, apparently, was contemplating jumping.
Barton contacted the NFTA, then exited the bus, grabbed her, and asked if she wanted to come to the other side of the guardrail.
According to Barton, the woman responded, "Yes."
Crisis Counselors were called to the scene to help the unidentified women.
After Barton spoke with police, he continued his daily duties.
Barton received national recognition for his heroic act. He was featured on ABC's World News with Diana Sawyer.
Chef's Restaurant offered Barton four Sabres tickets and dinner at the restaurant.

DETROIT The nation's leading Arab-American advocacy group says an independent probe finds insufficient evidence that its Michigan office's ex-leader sexually harassed women.
The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee said Friday the third-party investigation couldn't conclusively determine allegations against Imad Hamad. He was suspended this year as the group awaited the report's findings.
ADC legal director Abed Ayoub tells the Detroit Free Press he will lead Michigan's office and Hamad will serve as an adviser.
Hamad's attorney Shereef Akeel tells The Associated Press his client cooperated with investigators and is ready to move forward.
State Rep. Rashida Tlaib was among those alleging harassment by Hamad - in her case when she was a staffer in 1998. The Detroit Democrat says she's "shocked" and is discussing options with women who say they've had similar experiences.

Chauncey Billups makes his annual return to Detroit tonight with Denver, and as could be expected, he's baffled by what's happened with Rip Hamilton. From the Denver Post:
"I feel bad for him," Billups said. "He's going through a tough time. What's going on is shocking. It's pretty disrespectful for them, honestly. He's kind of Pistons royalty. He helped win a championship, had some great years and now he's not playing. It's not like his skills have diminished. Whatever is going on, it's crazy."
Now, I do disagree slightly with Billups in that Hamilton's skills, at least if you look at his plummeting shooting percentage the last two years, have diminished some. But I do agree that skill-wise, he's also not a player who should have eight straight DNP-CDs. We'll see if he gets off the bench tonight.

10 STAR WARS Animated TV Shows Which Could Follow STAR WARS REBELS
It was revealed at this past weekend's New York Comic Con that Disney XD's upcoming Star Wars Rebels will be set fourteen years after the events of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. The series will chart the early days of the Rebellion and the rise of the Empire, putting the focus on a new team of teenage Rebels and a mysterious villain called 'The Inquisitor' (pictured above).
There are obviously a lot of other characters and moments in Star Wars history that future animated series' could explore, so here are ten suggestions we think would be a good addition to Disney's plans for the franchise on the small screen. What do you guys think? Be sure to share your thoughts on these suggestions and your own in the comment section below!
No one really seems all that sure whether or not the Star Wars: The Force Unleashed video games are canon, but those who have played them certainly want them to be.
For those of you who aren't familiar, they follow the adventures of Darth Vader's secret apprentice as he plots to overthrow the Emperor. However, Starkiller quickly realises that his path isn't on the Dark Side of the Force and rebels against his master (his actions actually lead to the formation of the Rebellion). Now, while the character is definitely deserving of his own live action movie, it appears as if Disney are far more interested in expanding upon the origin stories of well-known characters like Yoda and Boba Fett.
So, taking the plot of the games and spreading them across an animated series would be a perfect alternative, while original voice actor Sam Witwer – who has repeatedly shown a huge amount of passion for the character – would surely be up for returning to once again provide the vocals.

ACRVP is a gated park with 27 spaces for travel trailers, a separate shower and bathroom, a private boat launch, and top-level facilities for night fishing. Our fishing facilities include a spacious dock and stadium lights for trout fishing, as well as four underwater lights for trout, redfish, and snook. A covered pavilion lies adjacent to the dock, where our residents often gather, grill, and socialize.
Many of our guests are "winter Texans" who spend the winter months in sunny, subtropical Texas. Some of our guests are "locals" who spend their weekends and holidays on the Arroyo, while still others make the Park their year-round home.
Please review our slideshow, which includes numerous shots of the Park and the surrounding area. We have also listed our rates and Park rules. We hope that you will consider ACRVP for your next visit to the area in your RV.

Last week, graphic autopsy images were released of a woman dying from a legal abortion. Her mother insisted the photos be made public. The story broke my heart.
Advertisement-content continues below
As 18-year-old Marla Cardamone lay in her casket prior to viewing, the funeral director suggested to Marla's mother, Deborah, they close the casket so people would not see Marla's disfigured face. Deborah Caramone told him to leave the casket open. She hopes to expose the lies of the abortion industry and wants people to understand that abortions are not always 'safe and legal'. In order to do this, she bravely chose to show her daughter's bruised and swollen face, caused by abortion-related complications. Marla died at a Pennsylvania hospital, and Deborah Cardamone vowed her daughter would not be forgotten.
Just a few days earlier, a medical counselor pushed Marla to have an abortion, telling her that the prescription medication she had been taking would cause her baby to be born with severe birth defects. Following Marla's death, it was determined by doctors that her baby had no abnormalities.
Father Frank Pavone once said that "America will never resist abortion until America sees abortion."
Thanks in part to advances in technology such as ultrasound imagery, it's clear and easy to see a growing and moving fetus inside a mother's womb, which has raised awareness that an unborn child is alive and human and that abortion is murder.
Advertisement-content continues below
Americans have tolerated the evil of legalized abortion and have become so desensitized to violence and death that we don't see eliminating innocent human life as a brutal or selfish act – or at least we don't speak up about it enough. God have mercy on our hardened hearts.
I recently had a head-spinning conversation with a young woman about defining life. She was so disconnected with the Bible, reality, and science that she insisted that if she became pregnant, whatever it was growing inside her was not technically alive unless she was at a point in her life where she was ready and wanted to have a baby. Apparently, this is called 'reproductive justice.'
On this 40-year anniversary of Roe V. Wade when approximately 57 million babies have been legally prevented from being born – thanks to un-elected federal judges enforcing immorality on all Americans in 1973 – Planned Parenthood receives $542 million a year from U.S. taxpayers. Some states are trying to cut off funding to Planned Parenthood, but this barely puts a dent in their $1 billion annual budget. Regardless, abortion on demand remains the law of the land.
You may have heard the numbers: 1 in every 9 women who visit Planned Parenthood ends up having an abortion, which results in one every 94 seconds. (In all abortion clinics nationwide, there is an abortion every 26 seconds.)
A new Marist poll shows that 83% of Americans favor significant restrictions on abortion. Nineteen states enacted 43 restrictions on abortion services last year, and even more restrictions were enacted in 2011. However, restricting the murder of the unborn is not enough. Even reversing Roe v. Wade wouldn't stop the evil of man. Our culture is too far gone, and only God through Jesus Christ can change human hearts. We need to reach people with the message that every single life is a divine gift and has value.

Al-Arab, Volume 1, Number 1, July 4, 1917
The newspaper Al-Arab (The Arabs) was first published in Baghdad on July 4, 1917, some four months after British troops captured the city from the Turks, thereby ending three centuries of Ottoman rule. The paper appeared at a critical period in the history of Iraq. Issued by the British authorities, it served as a mouthpiece for the British administration at a time of rising Iraqi and Arab nationalism. It depicted the Ottomans as foreigners and the British as liberators and sought to advance broader British military and political strategy against ...
Essays on the History of the Civil War of 1917-1920
Essays on the History of the Civil War of 1917-1920 is an early history of the civil war that followed the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. The book was written by Anatolii Anishev, a researcher at the Tolmachev Military-Political Academy in Leningrad (present-day Saint Petersburg), and published in Leningrad in 1925. In his introduction, Anishev notes that archival sources relating to the war were in poor condition and that almost no monographs existed. This forced him to rely on articles in White Russian magazines and newspapers, which were biased and unreliable ...

In World War I, all sides used posters as tools to mobilize their populations for the war effort. This poster, published in Pozsony (present-day Bratislava, Slovakia) in 1917, shows a disabled veteran with a prosthetic arm using a scythe to harvest wheat. The text announces the National War Relief Exhibition in Pozsony.

Certificate of Ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution, Accompanied by Resolution and Transcript of the Journals of the Two Houses of the General Assembly of the State of Tennessee
The Nineteenth Amendment guarantees all American women the right to vote. The amendment was first introduced in Congress in 1878. Over the years, champions of voting rights pursued different strategies for achieving their goal. Some worked to pass suffrage acts in each state, and by 1912 nine western states had adopted woman suffrage legislation. Others challenged male-only voting laws in the courts. Suffragists also used tactics such as parades, silent vigils, and hunger strikes. Often supporters met fierce resistance as opponents heckled, jailed, and sometimes physically abused them. By 1916 ...

"The Child at Your Door." 400,000 Orphans Starving, No State Aid Available. Campaign for $30,000,000
The American Committee for Armenian and Syrian Relief was established in 1915 with the cooperation of the United States Department of State, for the purpose of providing humanitarian relief to Armenians forcibly deported from Anatolia to other parts of the Ottoman Empire during World War I. The Ottoman parliament passed a law by which privately collected funds from the United States could be distributed to displaced Armenians via the U.S. Embassy in Constantinople. The committee, which raised millions of dollars at public rallies and churches, issued this poster as ...
Kościuszko, Pułaski—They Fought for Liberty in America
This Polish-language poster, produced in Brooklyn, New York, in 1917, shortly after the United States entered World War I, was aimed at the many Polish-speaking immigrants living in the United States at that time. The message— "Kościuszko, Pułaski fought for liberty in America. Can you help America fight for freedom in Poland? Eat less sugar, wheat, meat, fats so that we can support our brothers fighting in the allied armies"—invokes the names of two Poles. Tadeusz Kosciusko and Kazimierz Pulaski fought on the American side in the Revolutionary War ...
4 Reasons for Buying Victory Bonds
This World War I poster, produced in Canada in 1917, depicts "4 reasons for buying Victory Bonds." The "reasons" are the four most important German civilian and military leaders, whose faces would have been familiar to many Canadians from news reports: Kaiser Wilhelm II, the German emperor; Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg, the chief of the German General Staff; Crown Prince Wilhelm, the son of the emperor and heir to the throne; and Grand Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz, commander of the German Navy. Canada, a dominion within the British Empire ...

It shows a wounded soldier standing over a seated Moroccan artisan, who is painting a ceramic bowl. Moroccan units fought as part of the French Army from the early days of the war, beginning with the participation of the Moroccan Brigade in the September 1914 Battle of the Marne. In all, 37,300 Moroccan soldiers, all of them volunteers, fought with the French forces in Europe. The number of Moroccan soldiers wounded ...
Following the Paths of Our Fathers in the Ranks of the Polish Army for Motherland and Freedom
This World War I poster shows a winged knight on a horse, heading into battle. The text, in English and Polish, encourages men of Polish origin living in the United States to enlist in the Polish army. Poland had been partitioned by Russia, Prussia, and the Austrian Empire in 1795, and its sovereignty was not restored until 1918. Thus, there was no independent Poland during World War I. But many Poles believed that the cause of national independence could be furthered by supporting Britain, France, and Russia against the Central ...
A Day for the African Army and the Colonial Troops
This World War I poster showing French soldiers fighting alongside black soldiers from Africa celebrates the participation of troops from the French colonies and overseas territories during the war. More than 480,000 such troops were deployed by France in Europe over the course of the war, including 134,300 soldiers from West Africa, 172,800 from Algeria, 60,000 from Tunisia, 37,300 from Morocco, 34,400 from Madagascar, 2,100 from the Somali coast, and 44,000 from Indochina. Initially, most colonial troops were volunteers, but as the ...
Lest They Perish. Campaign for $30,000,000. American Committee for Relief in the Near East: Armenia-Greece-Syria-Persia
The American Committee for Armenian and Syrian Relief was established in 1915 with the cooperation of the United States Department of State, for the purpose of providing humanitarian relief to Armenians forcibly deported from Anatolia to other parts of the Ottoman Empire during World War I. The Ottoman parliament passed a law by which privately collected funds from the United States could be distributed to displaced Armenians via the U.S. embassy in Constantinople. This poster, showing a woman carrying a baby on her back surrounded by the rubble of ...
Italy Has Need of Meat, Wheat, Fat, and Sugar
This Italian-language poster, produced in Brooklyn, New York, in 1917, shortly after the United States entered World War I, was aimed at the many Italian-speaking immigrants living in the United States at that time. Illustrated with a portrait of an Italian army officer, the poster declares that "Italy has need of meat, wheat, fat, and sugar" and urges people to conserve these foods so that supplies can go to "our people and to the Italian troops." The poster was sponsored by the U.S. Food Administration, a government agency established ...
Many Peoples - One Nation
During World War I, President Woodrow Wilson and other U.S. political leaders were concerned about disunity among the American people. They were particularly anxious that so-called hyphenated Americans, Americans born abroad or of foreign heritage, might prove disloyal. For example, Irish-Americans might be bitter at British rule in Ireland or German-Americans could be sympathetic to Germany. In response, U.S. leaders launched a widespread "Americanization" campaign involving both government agencies and private organizations. This poster, with the slogan "Many peoples - one nation. Let us unite to Americanize America," was ...
Poles! Kościuszko and Pułaski Fought for the Liberty of Poland and Other Nations. Follow Their Example. Enlist in the Polish Army!
This World War I poster invokes the memory of two illustrious Poles who fought in the American Revolution, Tadeusz Kościuszko (1746–1817) and Kazimierz Pułaski (1747–79), to encourage men of Polish origin living in the United States to enlist in the Polish army. Poland had been partitioned by Russia, Prussia, and the Austrian Empire in 1795, and its sovereignty was not restored until 1918. There thus was no independent Poland during World War I. But many Poles believed that the cause of national independence could be furthered by supporting ...
For the Freedom of the World. Subscribe to the National Loan at the Banque Nationale de Crédit
This World War I poster issued by the French Banque Nationale de Crédit urges French citizens to purchase war bonds, "for the freedom of the world." An image of the Statue of Liberty appears on the horizon, an allusion to the entry into the war of the United States on April 6, 1917. The participation of the United States gave a lift to the people of France, who by this time had suffered huge casualties in battles with Germany and had expended much of the nation's wealth to fight ...
Send the Eagle's Answer: More Ships
This poster, issued by the publication section of the Emergency Fleet Corporation in Washington, D.C., shows a large, colorful eagle flying above ships setting sail for a distant shore in flames. The Emergency Fleet Corporation was established under congressional mandate by the United States Shipping Board in April 1917, ten days after the United States declared war on Germany. Its purpose was to acquire, maintain, and operate the merchant ships that were needed to transport American troops and their supplies to France. The bald eagle as a symbol of ...

Well the new rimfire cartridge is here and it is a smoking hot round: the .17 Winchester Super Magnum. The new rimfire promises "pinpoint accuracy" and the "downrange performance of a centerfire cartridge."
Ok, let's cut to the chase: the new Winchester cartridge is pushing a 20 grain bullet at 3,000 fps. That is an amazing feat for a rimfire. Energy measures right at 400 ft-lbs (399.6 if my math is correct.) A 25 grain bullet screams along at 2,600 fps for 375 ft-lbs of energy.
Initially, Winchester will make the .17 Super Mag in three loads. The first is a 25 grain Varmint HE with a plastic tip bullet, and the other two are 20 grain loads: a Varmint HV with a plastic tip and a Super-X with a conventional JHP.
According to the press release, engineers have been developing the .17 WInchester Super Magnum for more than three years, suggesting a lot of R&D went into this new round. Pressures must be significantly higher than the .17 HMR and .22 WMR to make these kinds of speeds.
It will be interesting to see how the obvious battle between the .17 HMR and .17 WSM will play out. The .17 HMR has been a success, and for all of the same reasons that the new Winchester cartridge claims. Without the substantial increase in velocity, I would have said the .17 WSM had no chance…but 350 – 400 fps is a big jump.
The new round will dump more than 150% more energy into the target when compared to the .17 HMR according to the Winchester product information. Also, the company claims the new .17 Super Mag is much more accurate in long range shooting due to improved wind drift and bullet drop characteristics. For varmint hunters, this can be a really big deal.
Winchester states the new .17 Super Mag should be on dealer's shelves by April. MSRP has not been announced, however, the company makes several references to the affordability of the ammunition when compared to centerfire cartridges. Nothing will be as cheap as .22 LR, but I imagine the .17 Winchester Super Magnum will be significantly cheaper than comprable centerfire rounds. 50-round boxes and 1,000-round cases will both be available.
At this time, there is not any announcement of a rifle chambered for the new cartridge. I expected to hear something from a gun maker at the same time Winchester Ammunition rolled out the cartridge, but I haven't heard or seen anything yet. I expect to see something at SHOT of course.
So, what do you guys think? Are you interested in a new rimfire, especially one blazing along at 3,000 fps?

After suffering a blowout loss at home in Game 3, the Washington Wizards will look to bounce back for Game 4 at the Verizon Center against the Indiana Pacers. The game will tip off at 8:00pm and will be broadcasted on TNT.
- Washington made just 24 field goals in Game 3, ultimately finishing the game with 63 total points. That's…really bad. The Wizards settled for long jump shots and failed to execute opportunities at the basket. With that said, I don't think it's possible for them to have a repeat performance. They're going to have to move the ball more than they did in Game 3 if they want to score.
- John Wall turned the ball over 7 times in Game 3. The Pacers play scrappy basketball and the Wizards can't get caught up in their trap. Wall has to push the ball more, get his teammates open and take the ball to the rim a lot more than he did in Game 3. If he settles for jump shots, then we're going to see another ugly performance from the Wizards.
- Speaking of John Wall; he played in Game 3 with a scratched eye but will be good to go for Sunday night's game.
- Nene and Marcin Gortat allowed David West and Roy Hibbert to get to their "sweet spots" early on in Game 3 and there was no stopping them from that point on. They can't allow them to get comfortable and they have to force them out of position.
Key Match Up:
Bradley Beal has emerged as one of the best young guards during the NBA Playoffs, but he was a non-factor in Game 3 as he went on to score 16 points on 6-19 shooting. He admitted to forcing up some shots in a post-game interview after Washington's offense became stagnant, but he has to assert himself right out of the gate in Game 4 so he establishes a rhythm going forward. When his shots aren't coming in the flow of the offense, the Wizards are going to have a tough time scoring the ball, but credit can go to Lance Stephenson for forcing him into some difficult shots on the outside.
Stephenson hasn't shot the ball well against Washington thus far, but Beal has to play better on the offensive side of the floor. For the most part, he's played well, so I'm hoping Game 3 was an anomaly. With that said, Sunday's game is essentially a must win for the home team and Bradley Beal has to step up.

Love it or Hate it, Metal Gear is Here.
Metal Gear Acid isn't Metal Gear Solid. But it is Metal Gear. Let's just look at our Metal Gear check list:
Leone's Metal Gear-Franchise Check-List™
- Focus on Stealth? Check.
- Over the top bosses? Check.
- Over the top plot? Check.
- METAL GEAR!? Check.
As many people who were following the news about this game quickly found out though, it wasn't the action game everyone thought it would be. Instead, Metal Gear Acid is a Turn Based Strategy game. "Hm, well, it could work" thinks Joe Anybody. But then everyone found out it was also a Collectible Card game. "WHAT!?" thinks Joe Anybody. It's true, Metal Gear Acid is a Turn Based Collectible Card Strategy game. Or TBCCS. Go Kojima!
Joking aside, I was hesitant like many others when I popped in this UMD along with my brand new PSP on launch, but after the obligatory long cutscenes, I grew to like the system. It worked, and that is all I asked for. It was different, to be sure, and there was a lot to figure out, but once you got it, it worked. And it worked well. That's not to say this game is for everybody. It does take awhile to get used to everything, and learning the finer details of the system can be overwhelming at times, but it does add to the depth of the game. And for the completionists out there, there are two hundred and four cards to nab, so get going. One unfortunate fact is that this IS a collectible card game, and that entails the unrelenting storm of booster packs, and with no dedicated singles shop, collecting every card can be a long trial of resetting your PSP, or a lot of points spent getting countless duplicates.
The story is told and broken up over missions that are revealed as you complete each one, and occasionally you have to backtrack with new equipment that you have obtained in order to further the story. Outside of the story though, you can repeat any mission for points and cards. Boss fights are exceptionally Metal Gear, large, bulking and often times bizare. Take my namesake for example: Leone is the leader of a mercenary group you encounter. He is a hulking man who can wield a PTRS1942 anti-tank rifle with one hand and use it to deflect bullets. Seriously, how many other franchises are there where you come to expect something like that?
You'll spend a lot of your time modifying, rebuilding, and adding to your deck to improve your efficiency in a mission. Once you're in a mission, your deck is "shuffled" and you are dealt a hand of cards, any of which can be used during your turn. Cards range from movement (but all cards can act as a movement card, albeit not always wise to do so), COST reduction (COST is what governs the turn order- the higher your cost, the longer it'll be until your next turn), weapons (anything from a katana to the RPG7 and Solar Gun), and character cards (with special abilities depending on who it is: IE Metal Gear REX will crush foes in a certain area, while Fortune will allow you to reflect bullets for a few turns). My main gripe is that sometimes you need a specific card to advance in a mission, so you'll spend turns standing and discarding cards while you wait for it to come around.
For a first generation PSP game, the visuals are tight and what you would come to expect from a Metal Gear game, and while there isn't voice acting in most of the cutscenes (yup, text boxes are in), the music in game is nice, the cards have flashy sounds when you activate them, and character cards will generally have footage relating to that specific card when you activate it (All of which can be skipped if you're getting sick of it) and everything else sounds as it should.
If I could give this a 75%, I would because Metal Gear Ac!d definitely is not a game for everyone. I won't beat around the bush, this is a "Love or Hate" kind of deal; you'll either want it to get a 0 or a 5, so it is hard to assign a middle ground. But that doesn't mean it is a bad game by any standard. It is a great game once you get into it and get the hang of things, and you will get a ton of playtime out of it, especially if you have a friend that has it as well because there is multiplayer which consists of mainly pitting your Snake and support character (AKA your deck), Teliko that you meet in the story against his (deck) in a duel to the death. Or something like that.

Army of Noodle-Making Robots Infiltrating Chinese Restaurants
A chef is mass-producing these robots to sell to restaurants for around $2,000
Today on The Daily Meal
City Guides
Most Popular
Despite all of pop culture's fear of robots taking over the world, we don't seem to mind them taking over the restaurant industry.
A Chinese chef is mass-producing noodle-cutting robots, which basically take sheets of pasta dough and cut them into strips. Production began in March, and since then the chef has sold some 3,000 robots for about $2,000 each. According to the report, hiring a person to hand cut noodles would cost $4,700 a year. This means a restaurant will save some $2,700 in the first year alone.
Of course, some would say that this is just a fancy-looking pasta-maker with a face, and we agree. Glowing eyes aside, we're not sure if there's any artificial intelligence going on in that silver head. The noodles, on the other hand, are reportedly just as good (and look better than) human-produced cut noodles. First, sushi-making robots, and now this? We just want one to load the dishwasher for us.

Christianity: A Very Short Introduction
OUP Oxford, Nov 25, 2004 - Religion - 184 pages
At a time when Christianity is flourishing in the Southern hemisphere but declining in much of the West, thisVery Short Introduction offers an important new overview of the world's largest religion. Exploring the cultural and institutional dimensions of Christianity, and tracing its course over two millennia, this book provides a fresh, lively, and candid portrait of its past and present. Addressing topics that other studies neglect, including the competition for power between different forms of Christianity, the churches' uses of power, and their struggles with modernity, Linda Woodhead concludes by showing the ways in which those who previously had the least power in Christianity—women and non-Europeans—have become increasingly central to its unfolding story. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Review: Christianity: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions #119)User Review - Daniel Wright - Goodreads
Very low-level, provides an interesting take on the subject which is probably not suitable for such a general introduction. From what else I've read of Woodhead, she seems to be almost intentionally provocative to people with views like mine. Read full review

Volunteers are seldom paid; not because they are worthless, but because they are PRICELESS!
If you are looking to volunteer or would like to request more information on volunteering please contact us.
The backpack program fills the gap left on weekends when children do not have access to after-school breakfasts and/or lunches. This program focuses on distributing nutritious, easy to prepare food to children at risk of hunger. Presently, this program is only for students in the Lima City Elementary Schools. Help pack the bags or hold a food drive to supply children with weekend meals.
CSFP is a federally funded program which supplies seniors, who are 60+ years of age and meet income guidelines, with a 32-40 lb. box of food each month.
WOFB food boxes provide seniors who are 50+ years of age and meet income guidelines with a box of food each month. These boxes are solely funded by the West Ohio Food Bank, with assistance by the United Way of Greater Lima. Presently, this program is only for residents of Allen County.
Hold a food drive to help support the inventory needed for the WOFB boxes or volunteer to pack both types of boxes. The seniors will appreciate your help!
Volunteers with phone and/or computer skills are needed to assist with filing, mailings, data entry, answering phones and greeting guests.
The Food Bank relies heavily on community support to help feed the hungry in our 11 county service area. Why not host a food or fund drive at your business, school, church, etc? Every $1 donated to the West Ohio Food Bank allows us to bring 25 pounds of grocery type items to our docks!
Mobile Pantries are a quick, easy, inexpensive way that any non-profit organization can provide massive amounts of help to people in need. Service Clubs or Churches can pay for the delivery to the location of their choice to distribute this product. The cost is $500.00 for 5,000 pounds of food.
We welcome individuals and groups in our warehouse year round. Volunteer to repack bulk food for distribution. We could not repack and deliver bulk food in a timely manner without your help!
Help sort food drive foods. Check for expiration dates and damaged goods. The foods are then sorted by food groups and repacked into boxes for our senior food boxes and member charities.
Assist the food bank's Warehouse Manager and Inventory Controller by helping prepare the orders that our member charities have scheduled to pick up or have delivered.
For 2010, Disney will be giving free one-day tickets to U.S. and Canadian residents who volunteer in their communities.
To get a free ticket in the Muppet-themed "Give a Day, Get a Disney Day" promotion, you'll have to sign up for a designated volunteer activity through Disney's website, www.disneyparks.com. Once you complete the activity, you'll be given instructions on how to download the ticket voucher, which you will have to redeem at the park's ticket windows.
Volunteer opportunities are being managed by the HandsOn Network, which runs the existing 1-800-Volunteer program and website. You can go there to get an idea of the sort of activities that might be available under the Disney program.

Elm trees shed their trembling leaves,
the scorch of daylight dies, and evening drips
in pools of reddish hue as I bereave
the absence of my heart's desire.
Happiness, a blessing I may never feel again
is slipping from my memory, as distant as the moon;
'neath sunlit skies I roam for miles to look for rain
in search of solace, for my spirit's sorely hewn.
Her gleaming beauty doth illuminate the night,
sets flares to shame, outshines the blushing rose!
I'd trade my wealth, halt the oceans in their flight
if only she'd forgive me, put an end to all my woes.

America's Most Endangered Rivers of 2012:
#2: Green River (WY, UT, CO)
#3: Chattahoochee River (GA)
#4: Missouri River (IA, KS, MO, MT, NE, ND, SD, WY)
#5: Hoback River (WY)
#6: Grand River (OH)
#7: South Fork Skykomish River (WA)
#8: Crystal River (CO)
#9: Coal River (WV)
#10: Kansas River (KS)
American Rivers named the Potomac River, known as 'the nation's river' as it flows through the capital, the most endangered in the country. While the Potomac is cleaner than it used to be, the river is still threatened by urban and agricultural pollution -- and it could get much worse if Congress rolls back critical clean water safeguards.
As our country commemorates the 40th anniversary of the Clean Water Act this year, the Potomac is emblematic of what's at stake for rivers nationwide. American Rivers launched a national call to action, giving citizens the opportunity to contact members of Congress and speak up for clean water.
"This year's Most Endangered Rivers list underscores how important clean water is to our drinking water, health, and economy," said Bob Irvin, President of American Rivers. "If Congress slashes clean water protections, more Americans will get sick and communities and businesses will suffer. We simply cannot afford to go back to a time when the Potomac and rivers nationwide were too polluted and dangerous to use."
Before the Clean Water Act was enacted in 1972, the Potomac was a cesspool of sewage and industrial pollution. Thanks to the Clean Water Act, the Potomac and rivers across the country are cleaner and safer for drinking, boating, and fishing. But the Potomac is still suffering -- a University of Maryland report card has given the river a "D" grade for water quality for the past two years.
"The Clean Water Act is the reason the Potomac River is no longer called a 'national disgrace.' Most of the palpable problems are gone; however, there are many emerging threats that can't be seen. Residents of the Washington D.C. metro area -- including the President and Congress -- need to realize they are composed mostly of Potomac river water and they need to protect and enforce the laws that safeguard their health," said Ed Merrifield, President of Potomac Riverkeeper.
"We need strong federal leadership as we redouble our efforts at the local level to achieve the goal of a healthy, clean Potomac," said Hedrick Belin, President of the Potomac Conservancy. "We look forward to partnering with American Rivers, Potomac Riverkeeper, and others to continue to make progress cleaning up the Nation's River. This regional treasure contributes so much to our community's quality of life, and our neighborhoods deserve healthy, clean streams and creeks."
"When members of Congress fill a glass of water or drink their morning coffee, that water comes from the Potomac River. It's time to draw the clear connections between healthy rivers, drinking water, and public health in Washington, DC, and in communities nationwide," said Irvin.
American Rivers called on Congress to kill any legislation that weakens the Clean Water Act or prevents the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers from restoring protections for small streams and wetlands under the Act. American Rivers also called on the Obama Administration to finalize guidance clarifying the scope of the Clean Water Act and issue a rule-making to ensure that all waters get the protections Americans expect and deserve.
Now in its 27th year, the annual America's Most Endangered Rivers® report is a list of rivers at a crossroads, where key decisions in the coming months will determine the rivers' fates. Over the years, the report has helped spur many successes including the removal of outdated dams, the protection of rivers with Wild and Scenic designations, and the prevention of harmful development and pollution.
For the fourth consecutive year, America's Most Endangered Rivers is sponsored by The Orvis Company, which donates 5% of their pre-tax profits annually to protect nature.

"Everything Is Fine"
The Creatures of Comfort Autumn/Winter 13 collection, Everything Is Fine, takes shape in the form of bold textures and remarkable prints inspired by the imagination of Louis Bourgeois.
Reflecting the figurative sculptures and uncommon forms of Bourgeois' work, this collection displays the blue and pink hues of the artist's distinctive palette. Prints take a more unique tact, with grid and windowpane details representing the entrapment that Bourgeois' work evoked. An eye, a signature symbol of Bourgeois pieces, glares unflinching from the beautiful fabrics used by Creatures of Comfort's Jade Lai.
Introducing the luxurious quality of Italian-made Loro Piana cashmere yarn woven into coats and suiting, fabrics are a central focus of the line. Knits, quilted fabrics, printed chiffon and lightweight materials create an unparalleled place for this collection in not only texture, but form. Loyal to the Creatures of Comfort code, Autumn/Winter 13 once
again illustrates the contrasted layers that have become a signature.
Evolving the shape of their ever-chic modern woman, this collection showcases a leaner silhouette and – as always – Creatures of Comfort's sartorial savoir-faire.
In testament to Louise Bourgeois' unbridled artistic bravery, Everything Is Fine is a collection that transcends beyond the boundaries of fashion to inhabit the imaginatively constructed world of art.

I just came across a post that said "Fight for him…you even said you still love him." Let's take a minute to discuss this shall we?
You cannot fight for someone who doesn't fight for you.
You cannot fight for someone that you put 100% of your effort into, that gives you nothing in return.
You cannot fight for someone that walks away without looking back, with no remorse, no effort on their part.
You cannot fight for someone who is not willing to give you everything that you're willing to give them, and to sacrifice everything you're willing to sacrifice.
The problem is so many of us will fight for someone against our better judgement because of what our hearts want, but our hearts and our minds are eneimes and refuse to work together. And while we're too busy fighting for someone who isn't fighting for us, we could be fighitn for someone else who is willing to give us everything and is worth the fight, but by then, we're so tired of fighting that we give up compeltely.
I keep seeing people liking this post. I can't seem to reblog so I'm just linking you back to it.
A lot of people seem to be going through pain right now, I think it's something that may help.
