Facebook Stock Climbs to an All-Time High of $80
A day after Apple's stock price set a new record, Facebook's has done the same, surpassing $80 in midday trading. The stock price means Facebook's market capitalization is now around $208 billion, which is more than IBM ($162 billion), Amazon ($145.2 billion) and Intel ($162.3 billion.) The previous high for the stock was $79.04 on Sept. 30. Facebook seems to be enjoying a surge in the market over the past few days, which followed a freefall earlier this month.

As a Gemini, you may get labeled with that tired, old split-personality tag -- but you're not internally conflicted, Gemini, you're just restless and very often brilliant! This Mutable Air Sign, blessed with all the wit and charm you could need to make it through life on guile alone, does not much interest itself with the day-to-day trappings of a beauty routine. You've got more important things on your mind -- be it world peace, spiritual fulfillment or planning the perfect vacation for your family.
It's your stimulating mind, your expressive hands and that ever-talkative mouth of yours that garner all of the affectionate attention -- people can't help but look at your lovely hands as you gesticulate and make yet another insightful comment. Even though you may chew your nails down to the quick in one of your frequent fits of nervous energy, you keep any flaws hidden well with vibrant nail colors and frequent manicures. If they're not watching your hands, others will unfailingly be watching your mouth for the next witticism -- any lip color had better have staying power for the likes of you!
But it's what goes on in your turbo-powered brain that wins the most admiration; calm that mind down with a lavender-tinged perfume and makeup in shades of pinks and light blues. You gravitate to the new and the progressive, and you're not afraid of color. Your beauty comes from your animated intellect, your zest for interaction and your flexible attitude. By not taking yourself too seriously, you allow others to see the real you -- not a cosmetic façade.

Tag: standardization
Sep 7, 2010 |
Interoperability remains a critical issue for groups advocating that users and vendors alike require a healthy, open ecosystem to drive greater adoption rates but the standardization for portability has been slow in coming. Groups like the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) are working together with other standards bodies to create a better cloud as the organization's president discusses during an interview following news of OVF standardization–a first step for workload portability standards.

"Um, who the hell are those guys?" you might be asking. Well, they're the non-Chris Martin members of Coldplay, and despite being part of one of the biggest bands on the planet you likely wouldn't recognise them if you passed them in the street.

Perez sez the producers of the long-running sketch-comedy are frantically trying to book a "surprise" cameo from Kanye when Taylor hosts the show this week.
Yeah, that's a great plan giving Kanye yet another opportunity to upstage poor Taylor.
Actually, the reunion would probably turn out to be pretty boring Taylor would be all polite and forgiving, and Kanye would be all apologetic and humble (or as least as humble as a bighead like Kanye can get). Snooze! I want blood!
Speaking of Idol producers making bad decisions: the theme of this episode is "Contestants' Choice", a revelation that'd make me furious if I were actually emotionally invested in this season. Couldn't they have picked an exciting, original theme? How about Mash-ups, or Duets? Or even something generic like R&B or Beatles or anything that isn't completely boring? Seriously, it's like the producers are determined to make the show as bland as possible this year.
Anyway. The next 10 minutes is devoted to a boring recap of last week's episode (which only serves as a reminder that Liza Minnelli won't be around to liven things up this week). I tune back in for the elimination: James, Kate and Stan are in the bottom three. Dicko predicts James will go, but the kid is safe thank god and Kate is booted.
MusicFIX's verdict on all 10 performances in the full recap.
According to a poll conducted by Muzu.tv, the clip for Madge's 2005 hit 'Hung Up' is the least sexy music video of all time. Of all time! That's harsh... but fair. When you flash your hot pink leotard-clad crotch at the camera, you deserve whatever criticism you get.
Brothers Benji and Joel Madden will act as mentors and guest judges in the episode set to air on November 1.
The theme o' the week will be "The Noughties" appropriate, given that's the decade when Gold Charlotte hit the big-time. Each of the four remaining Idols will perform two songs during the two-hour show.
She opens the show with a performance of 'Cabaret' that is just on another level. I can't even begin to describe it, partly because I still can't quite believe I'm seeing Liza Minnelli on our little show.
While I'm blinking the stars out of my eyes, Andrew G introduces the bottom three: Kate, Hayley and Kim. Kate is safe first, leaving Hayley in the bottom two which is kind of a surprise. Luckily she's safe, and Kim is (finally) outta here.
The theme of this episode is "stage and screen", meaning the Idols can sing any song that's ever been used in any movie or musical. Which is pretty much every song.
MusicFIX's verdict on the top six singers in the full post.

- MPconJason KenneyThe Honourable Jason Kenney, Minister for Multiculturalism, issued the following statement to recognize the Holodomor: "Today, we remember one of the greatest tragedies of the last century. The Holodomor, otherwise known as the "Terror-Famine in Ukraine," which resulted from the policies of the Soviet regime under Joseph Stalin. "The deliberate starvation of millions of people in 1932-33 is among the worst crimes against humanity ever committed. "The Government of Canada remains committed to memorializing the Holodomor victims and promoting international recognition. In 2008, Canada was the first nation to recognize the Ukrainian famine as an act of genocide, when Parliament unanimously passed a bill establishing the fourth Saturday in November as Ukrainian Famine and Genocide (Holodomor) Memorial Day. "Each year, Parliamentarians join with members of Canada's Ukrainian community and others to commemorate the Holodomor at gatherings across the country. In doing so, we honour the memory of those who perished and the legacy of those who survived, including many who found refuge in Canada. "It is by remembering the tragedies and atrocities of the past that we can equip ourselves to prevent them from happening again. "As Minister for Multiculturalism, I stand with Canadians of Ukrainian descent and all Canadians in commemorating the Holodomor." Déclaration du ministre Kenney au sujet de l'Holodomor Ottawa, le 22 novembre 2014 – L'honorable Jason Kenney, ministre du Multiculturalisme, a fait la déclaration suivante en reconnaissance de l'Holodomor : « Aujourd'hui, nous nous souvenons d'une des plus grandes tragédies du siècle dernier, l'Holodomor, aussi appelé "Grande famine de l'Ukraine", le résultat des politiques du régime soviétique de Joseph Staline. « Cette extermination délibérée par la faim de millions de personnes en 1932 et en 1933 figure parmi les pires crimes jamais commis contre l'humanité. « Le gouvernement du Canada demeure résolu à perpétuer le souvenir des victimes de l'Holodomor et à promouvoir la reconnaissance internationale de cette tragédie. En 2008, le Canada a été le premier pays à reconnaître la famine ukrainienne à titre de génocide, par l'adoption unanime au Parlement d'un projet de loi déclarant le quatrième samedi de novembre le Jour commémoratif de la famine et du génocide ukrainiens (l'Holodomor). « Chaque année, les parlementaires se joignent aux membres de la communauté ukrainienne du Canada et à d'autres personnes à l'occasion de rassemblements partout au pays en souvenir de l'Holodomor. Ce faisant, nous rendons hommage à ceux qui ont péri et à l'héritage laissé par ceux qui ont survécu, dont beaucoup ont trouvé asile au Canada. « En gardant en mémoire les tragédies et les atrocités du passé, nous nous donnons les moyens de faire en sorte qu'elles ne se reproduisent jamais. « À titre de ministre du Multiculturalisme, je me joins aux Canadiens d'origine ukrainienne et à tous les Canadiens dans la commémoration de l'Holodomor. »22 hours ago | Alberta, Jeanne-Mance-Viger

While our Conservative government increased transfer payments to Ontario by 76 per cent, the Liberals saddled Ontario with crippling debt and higher taxes. "The Liberals should follow our lead with responsible spending, a credible plan to return to balanced budgets and tax relief for families." Quick Facts: • Since our government took office in 2006, We increased transfer payments to Ontario by 76% to $19.2 billion this year. • Ontario received $12.3 billion from the Canada Health Transfer, an increase of 60%. • Ontario received $4.8 billion from the Canada Social Transfer, an increase of 53%.Mon 2:03 pm | Ontario, Eglinton—Lawrence

Without the Toronto Paramedic Services Veterans Support team, some of the Veterans, many of whom were in their 90s, would not have been able to make this extraordinary trip to pay tribute to their fallen comrades and reflect on their service. A very special thanks to the following individuals: • Ric Rangel-Bron • Kelly Burton • Lisa Muzzin • Mike Wionzek • John Mason • Debbie Wicks • Jennifer Shield • Steve Henderson • Ken Cole • Don Meikle • Shawn Staff And thank you to all who joined us.Nov 13, 2014 8:03 am | Ontario, Vaughan

Taylor Swift Had the Top Grossing Tour of 2013
Congrats to Taylor Swift! The 'Sweeter Than Fiction' singer took home the most cash out of any tour in 2013 -- and she was in great company, too.
Congrats to Taylor Swift! The 'Sweeter Than Fiction' singer took home the most cash out of any tour in 2013 -- and she was in great company, too.
Another day, another Taylor Swift dating rumor. This time, sources are claiming that T. Swift and Evan Spiegel, the 23-year-old CEO and co-founder of the popular photo-sharing app Snapchat, "were checking each other" at the company's New Year's Eve party, LaineyGossip reports.
The 2014 People's Choice Awards are celebrating the best in movies, music and television and winners are chosen by you!
As if you needed another reason to tune in to the 56th Annual Grammy Awards on Sunday, Jan. 26. Lorde will take the stage, making her Grammy debut, while Katy Perry, Taylor Swift and Pink will return to the stage to perform as well.
Harry Styles recently won an injunction that prevents the paps from coming too close and encroaching on his space to take pictures of him. That same situation applies to his "relationship" with Kendall Jenner. Apparently Hazza has laid down the law, refusing to have their "dates" featured on her family's reality show 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians.'
Taylor Swift is at it again! The country crossover is nursing a broken heart after she came on a bit too strong for actor Douglas Booth.
Carly Rae Jepsen is making her Broadway debut in the role of Cinderella, taking over for Laura Osnes for 12 weeks as of Feb. 4. One person not stoked about CRJ stepping into the glass slippers and pumpkin carriage before midnight? Oh, just 'Modern Family' star Sarah Hyland.
Welcome, 2014. As we said goodbye to 2013, a whole mess of our favorite celebs were Instagramming photos of their big night out, tweeting messages about the past and the future, all the while enjoying the present.
We knew there was a reason for that Facetime app -- it's so Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift can virtually share a spot of tea with their pal Demi Lovato!
The young girl who inspired Taylor Swift and another 10,000 kind-hearted souls to grant her final wishes has passed away. Delaney "Laney" Ann Brown, who suffered from a rare form of leukemia, died early Christmas morning at her home in West Reading, Pa. She was 8 years old.
Even by Taylor Swift's lofty standards, 2013 has been a banner year -- but she just received maybe the most important honor of all!
Now that the dust has settled and the last present has been unwrapped, it's time to find something new to do with the kids! Check out the Shreveport Parks and Recreation's Free Fridays Forever Concert this Friday, December 27th in Shreveport's Red River Entertainment District featuring Caddo Middle Magnet 8th grader Victoria Wells!

"Kill some Gorns for me "
was rerunning Researcher rescue the other day (my name is Sollvax for I am many)
And the dialog mistake "Kill some Gorns for me" really got on my nerves
the plural of Gorn is Gorn
Anyone else find such things annoying?
I find the notion of Starfleet officers "killing someone for someone else" more annoying than anything grammar-related. :)
IIRC, a researcher utters that line. He probably said "Gorns" on purpose as a racial slur (cf. Spoonheads, Cardies).
We need the ability to leave the guy in the fire then
For some reason, I read the title of this thread to the tune of 'Pour some sugar on me'.
Honestly, little grammer and spelling errors may mildly annoy me, but no more than if I read them in a paper. And I'm certainly not one to comment on such things.
Oh these little things bug me far more than graphics errors (although my favorite graphic error is the levitating Borg drones near the wall in the power plant on defera (best witnessed on upper level section alpha ))
Researcher rescue annoys me more for the fact you disable, not destroy the final gorn ship.
And the research team requests to beam back down to the planet, and you warp out. Leaving the ship there capable of repairing it's damage, and beaming more gorn to the planet to kill the researchers.
TNG episode idea....
ST TNG Crocodile Tears:
Enterprise D and Crocodile Hunter Exchange program:
The Crocodile Hunter wants to hunt Crocs of the 24th century...........
Croc Hunter: Croiky Mate!, Look at the size of that animal *points at the Gorn* (stares wide-eyed at the bi-pedal Gorn laying on the ground on the holodeck)
Riker: should we not tell him Mr.Worf?
Worf: Tell him what? That the "Croc" is not native to Earth and is really a holographic Gorn with the safety settings off?
Riker: yes
Worf: Every warrior has to learn his limitations Commander, i say lets see if he Hunts as good as he claims.
The Croc hunter leans in close to the Gorn, then begins to examine it putting a rope around his nose
Croc Hunter: Easy girl.....*patting its nose"
Gorn: Who are you calling a girl Terran vermin ssssssss!
Croc Hunter: You.......can talk!!!!!!! *backs up slowly*
The Gorn gets up and rips his rope off and swips at the Hunter and starts chasing him........
Running past Riker and Worf waving his hands in the air screaming Aaaaaahhhhhh!
Riker: Don't worry they only like the daredevils! *shouting*
Worf: Computer Arch..........
Riker: We can't just leave him.........
Worf: Poker at my place?
Riker: Thought you never asked
Croc Hunter: Will someone please help me!!!!!! *ducking and running*
Leaving the Hunter screaming and running Riker taps his badge:
All senior officers report to Mr. Worf's for Poker tonight.
Then the walk away smiling.
AAAAAAHHH! can be heard throughout the deck.
Worf: some Hunter.

Boycott Mom's Day?
by Heather Rivera
posted May 9 2012 10:41AM
I ran across this and thought I would pass it along. My mama Betty passed away 10 years ago, so I know the feeling of not having a mom for my maturing adult life. I couldn't imagine not having her while I was growing up from a baby, little girl to a woman. I can see the meaning behind this campaign. But does Mother's Day need to be boycotted? That's a personal decision that only you can answer.
No Mothers Day" campaign
is aiming to raise awareness of the issue of maternal mortality and help folks understand just how devastating the loss of a mother can be—especially to the families of the nearly 360,000 women who die each year globally due to complications in pregnancy and childbirth. Of those, 90 percent of the deaths are

BKT, I am just curious as to what kind of lower and upper you are going to be dealing with, or really just how the rifle sits right now. Are you going to have any kind of weight restriction or is this gonna end up a rifle that goes straight from the back of the truck to the bench/snipers mat?
No weight restrictions -- not humping this puppy around. Bench rest is the idea.
Right now, it's a generic carbine with a pencil barrel, no muzzle break, fixed handle...not my cup o' tea, but certainly functional. Fake collapsible stock, which I'd swap out with a heavier more appropriate stock, of course.
I gotta say...I love the boobs. Just...thanks.
Ah, the hooters, they are there for everyone's enjoyment. I am going to start posting a different rack each week to keep things fresh, pretty PG13 though, so as to be politically correct.
Just for your info to take into consideration for your build, most of the calibers out there are offered with 24" bull barrels and will have your complete rifle weight in the 13 to 16 pound arena depending on stock, and length/size of optics.
Yeah, that's fine. I'm ok with a monster.
Love between a man and a woman is not an emotion. It is a commitment.
^^So you have not seen the sites with all of the math done? Or the <alt> numerical keys that have all of the symbols you need to show the math? Ballistic formulas are out there for all to see and use. Most of the sites don't even require a useless math degree to follow. Just sayin...
CAD programs are easily transferred to a post or e-mail. Just sayin again...
From C3Shooter:
Skullcrusher, you are evil, sick, demented, twisted- and my hero!
I know this doesn't apply to what you are looking for -- but if I had the funds, this is one I wouldn't mind having in my stable for those "reach out and touch" scenarios...
Note the stainless receiver? DavidTubb.com.html
J.D.-why is it that some calibers tend to be real barrel burners compared to others? Is it in relation to chamber pressures? I always thought that a .243WSSM AR would be cool to build too, but I have heard that you can only expect about 2000 rounds out of a barrel chambered for .243. It baffles me.
Double S - You basically answered your own question. When you take a small size diameter round, like .243 or even a small .30 cal, and you push it at 2800fps or equivalent pressure, you are generating a tremendous amount of heat and pressure on the lands and grooves of the barrel.
All that zero to full bore energy causes excessive wear, so you see breakdown in the fine tooling of the lands and grooves and eventually accuracy suffers.
As an example:
You can load a .243 WSSM with a 55grain bullet and achieve over 4000fps in muzzle velocity. And that is a factory spec number that could be pushed.
Take a .22lr round with a 40grain standard load in comparison and you are looking at about 1200fps.
It's just a ton of energy, being spun pretty fast, with very little surface area to dissipate heat and thus you get more wear per round fired.

Police: Williamstown man dragged and hit by car in Barre
BARRE Police say a Williamstown man was dragged by a car and then hit by the vehicle Saturday morning after an argument.
Jennifer Caplin, 33, of Montpelier, was cited on charges of driving under the influence and aggravated assault after police say she dragged Adam Huot, 26, across Washington Street as passenger Heather Brown, 31, of Barre, held onto his shirt. Huot told police he got free of the car on Perry Street and ran down that street to get away.
Police say that when Huot ran into a driveway near the intersection of Perry and Spaulding streets, Caplin followed with the vehicle and hit him from behind, sending him flying. Caplin revved the engine and backed up, police say, but Huot ran onto a lawn with a retaining wall, because he believed Caplin was going to hit him again.
Police say Caplin drove off Perry Street and onto the lawn, heading for Huot, but that he got out of the way.
Huot called 911, and Caplin was picked up by police and cited. Police say Huot was taken to Central Vermont Medical Center with bumps and bruises and non-life-threatening injuries.

How to Set Up an Online Ecommerce Store
05 June, 2010 11:00 AM
Online Ecommerce stores are gaining popularity these days. Their business is achieving exceptional heights. The reason behind their success is the lack of time that people in the present world have. Busy folks didn't have time to shop, for them ecommerce stores have been a boon. Many such stores have come up and are running successfully.
We present you steps that are involved in setting up of an online ecommerce store.
The first and foremost thing is to acquire a domain name that in other words means to decide upon your identity. This will be the web address that will let the visitors reach your store.
This will be the second step in your course of action, to select a web hosting company that will provide your domain name a space on its server to display the online store.
This is the most integral step as all the progress of the store depends on its proper designing. These are few points that have to be taken into consideration before you create your online store.
For an online store it is obligatory to have a shopping cart: software that enables the buyers to place their orders online. This cart stores all the input information like product price, tax details, shipping details, etc.
Every online store has a payment gateway service that is linked to a financial institution. The payments made through credit cards are processed by these institutions. If you don't have an option of processing credit cards then you have to take service from online merchants like Paypal. If you can process credit cards by your own, then you first have to confirm from your bank whether they accept internet orders.
Once the store is ready, the next and final step is to promote it. Without proper promotion there will possibly be no growth. Various advertizing options are available like print media, T.V., Radio, flyers, newspapers, etc. The most important online marketing strategy to be followed is to enroll your company with different search engine websites. Also, you can place your links in websites of other companies.
These are the 5 steps that lead you to create an ideal and profitable store. But the proper growth of your store depends on your potential and approach that you follow to run it.
