Earlier this, Colorado Mesa University fired cycling coach Rick Crawford as a result of new information regarding Crawford's previous involvement with performance enhancing drugs.The university said the new information involved an instance(s) of a drug-related infraction(s) that occurred while Crawford was in Durango, where he coached.Earlier this month, it was announced that Crawford had disclosed his involvement from 1999-2001 in the use of performance enhancing drugs by two professional cyclists to the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA).At that time, the university said that it would allow Crawford to continue coaching the CMU cycling team with the understanding that all instances had been disclosed. Crawford was relieved of his duties effective Monday, Dec. 17. He began coaching at CMU in February 2012.
The BLM has extended the public comment period to Jan. 18 on an oil and gas exploration proposal near Mesa, Colo. The BLM is seeking public input to help inform an environmental assessment for the project.Genesis Gas & Oil Colorado, LLC is proposing to drill five vertical wells on separate pads as it begins evaluating the oil and gas resources on the 27,000 acres of leases it holds in the area. Genesis proposes to construct four new well pads and reuse an existing, abandoned pad. Three proposed well pads are southeast of Mesa and east of State Highway 65 and the other two are southwest of Mesa and west of the highway. The detailed proposal is available at http://www.blm.gov/co/st/en/fo/gjfo.htmlWritten comments and questions should be directed to the Grand Junction Field Office, 2815 H Road, GJ, CO 81506. Or submit via email at email@example.com.
Xcel Energy is proposing a 10% rate increase for natural gas in order to pay for pipeline upgrades. If approved by state regulators, customers shouldn't see another price hike until at least 2016. Well, that's comforting.Add this to Clifton Water District and Ute Water raising rates on customers. Users can expect to pay at least $2 more per month starting in January.On the bright side, the Colorado minimum wage is set to go up effective Jan. 1 - by a whopping 14 cents - from $7.64 to $7.78/hour. Those who work for tips will now receive $4.76/hour.
To aid in the restoration of wild landscapes on the Western Slope, Colorado Parks and Wildlife recently completed construction of a specialized warehouse where seeds of native plants will be stored and distributed.Located at the Escalante State Wildlife Area west of Delta, the $1.2 million, 9,000-square-foot facility will play a critical role in wildlife habitat conservation far into the future.While some native seed is available it can be very expensive, sometimes $100 or more per pound. Prices also fluctuate significantly from year to year depending on demand. The warehouse allows Colo. Parks and Wildlife to buy large quantities of seeds when prices are low so they can be stored in the climate-controlled conditions for future use.Some of the types of seeds to be collected include: sagebrush, dusty penstemon, sulphur flower buckwheat, squirrel tail and a variety of shrubs, grasses and forbs.
This week, headliner Lady Antebellum and crowd favorite Clay Walker canceled their respective appearances at Country Jam 2013.

requires too much maintenance
By stan the man
from anaheim, ca
i wanted a watch that lit up at night,but this requires too much mental calculation when you are half asleep to determine the time. It is way too heavy to wear. It definitely is eye catching and different, but requires too much maintenance.
great novelty item .

Would not recomend as a time piece,great novelty item.

A unique timepiece. What a great price on this watch, well worth more. As a collector I had to have a unique digital in my collection and this fits the bill. At under $50 you get a cool watch.

|I have to wonder why Empok Nor is still abandoned. The place has power and working life support, gravity, even lighting.

Annual Westheimer Peace Symposium to Highlight the Plight of Africa
Topic Is 'Africa's Blood, Sweat and Tears: Nonviolent Solutions'
October 3, 2013
Activist/author Lisa Shannon
Wilmington College will place a spotlight on the extraordinary human rights challenges in regions of Africa at the 23rd annual Westheimer Peace Symposium Oct. 16.
This year's topic is "Africa's Blood, Sweat and Tears: Nonviolent Solutions."
Featured presenters during the all-day event include grassroots activist Lisa Shannon, author of A Thousand Sisters: My Journey into the Worst Place on Earth to Be a Woman, and Chris Abani, an author/activist that was imprisoned in Nigeria for his writings.
Symposium events are free and open to the public.
Shannon is the first grassroots activist in the United States working to raise awareness of the humanitarian crisis in the Congo. She has devoted her work in support of women in that country, which she describes as fostering an environment that is especially detrimental and dangerous to woman.
One of O Magazine's 100 Most Influential Women on the Planet, Shannon will explore the world's deadliest war through the intimate lens of friendship with these Congolese women. Her presentation on A Thousand Sisters will begin at 7:30 p.m., in Heiland Theatre.
Abani will open the day's presentations at 10:15 a.m., in Heiland Theatre, with "Stories of Struggle, Stories of Hope: Art, Politics and Human Rights."
He will address the role of art and literature in defending human rights and democracy. Abani, a recipient of the PEN Freedom-to-Write Award, will draw upon his own body of work and political activism. He has been described as possibly "the most courageous writer working right now."
(LEFT) Chris Abani
Also, Eden Grace and Diane Randall will speak at 1:30 p.m., in Heiland Theatre, on what their respective Quaker organizations are doing to prevent election violence in Kenya. Grace is director of global ministries at Friends United Meeting (FUM) while Randall is executive secretary of Friends Committee on National Legislation.
Their presentation, "Preventing Election Violence in Kenya," will highlight the two organizations' partnership that resulted in the aftermath of FUM's Africa Ministries Office's work with Kenyan local leaders in healing communities torn apart by the post-election violence in 2008.
They will address actions they've taken to better ensure safety surrounding the 2013 elections in Kenya.
(RIGHT) Eden Grace
(FAR RIGHT) Diane Randall
The Wilmington College Chorale, under new director Tim Carpenter, will perform again this year at 3 p.m. in Heiland Theatre. The group has a history of presenting a musical interlude to the day with a repertoire related to the symposium's topic.
Also, the film, Blood in the Mobile, which illustrates the connection between cell phones and civil war in the Congo, will be shown at 4 p.m. in Heiland Theatre.
Americans love their cell phones, but the production of these devices has a dark, bloody side. Director Frank Poulsen travels to the Congo to witness the illegal mining industry. Blood in the Mobile addresses consumers' and corporations' responsibility for the conflict in the Congo.
Coinciding with the day's symposium is a gallery exhibit in WC's Meriam R. Hare Quaker Heritage Center titled "A Show of Respect: A Body of Work Painted for the Children of War," and an art show in Harcum Gallery featuring art professor Hal Shunk's "Sabbatical Exhibit" of encaustic paintings and sculpture.
Complementing this year's Westheimer Peace Symposium are two events, a showing of the 2006 film Blood Diamond Oct. 15, at 7:30 p.m., in the Murphy Theatre in downtown Wilmington, for a cost of $5, and the Run for Congo Women road race Oct. 19, at 10 a.m., at Wilmington College's cross country course.
Information on the Run for Congo Women is available by contacting Ruth Brindle at the Quaker Heritage Center at (937) 382-6661 ext. 719. Also, see the Run for Congo Women Website and registration information on WC's event.
(RIGHT) College Chorale
The Westheimer Peace Symposium promotes the exploration of peace as a viable, realistic alternative in a complex, violence-prone world. Each year, speakers challenge WC students and the greater community by addressing a rotating array of topics, including nonviolence, social justice, the environment and the nature of war.
The late Charles and May Westheimer of Cincinnati endowed the peace-related lecture series in 1991 with the hope that it would be a forum for the College community to be explicit about peacemaking, social justice, humanitarian service and respect for all persons.

Anastassia Elias is a painter, illustrator and collage artist and her Rouleaux dioramas showcase just one of her many talents. She creates tiny scenes inside the tubes by attaching paper cutouts to the side walls with glue and tweezers. The placement of her characters and objects creates a 3D scene and light travels through the tubes to create motion and shadow.
"I cut the small paper shapes that I stick inside the toilet paper rolls," explains Elias. "I use tweezers to manipulate the paper shapes. I select the paper of the same color as the roll. It gives the illusion that the paper figures make part of the roll. I need few hours to make one piece." Her scenes run the gambit from family shopping, visiting the zoo, nature scenes, children playing, a grandma sleeping, painters painting, someone getting their hair done, a soccer game and even an exciting boxing match. These miniature works of art are so well crafted one could almost imagine stepping into them.

Gifts for grandpa let him know that you care, and RedEnvelope has the best selection of grandpa gifts available. Browse gift ideas for grandpa, including birthday, Father's Day, and anniversary gifts for him. You're sure to find plenty of choices that will appeal to any type of grandfather! Find presents that he will cherish, and symbols of your love and affection towards him. RedEnvelope has gifts that are sorted by interest and hobbies, so finding the right present is no hassle at all. Read on to learn about just a few of our options in gifts for your grandpa.
One of the best days of his life was when he became a grandpa for the first time. Find gifts for new grandpas, and celebrate his new role in the family. RedEnvelope's congratulations gifts for new grandparents range from sentimental picture
frames and photo albums to baby keepsakes and personalized grandpa gear. A framed copy of baby's first picture will take a place of honor on his wall or desktop; opt for a family handprint frame to represent his children, in-laws, and grandchildren. A photo frame valet displays a favorite snapshot, and holds his daily essentials. This type of gift is handy for any type of grandpa accessories, from old-fashioned to ultra-modern. It can hold his pocket watch and cufflinks, or his cell phone and USB drive, or anything in-between! Other men's valets work as gadget gifts, complete with built-in ports for charging his electronics. Another popular options features a spy-worthy hidden compartment, so grandpa can safely stash his treasures.
Many of our men's jewelry and accessories also double as mementos of special events, like locket cufflinks for men. These hold tiny pictures of the grandkids, right at his wrists. Hidden message tie clips, collar stays, and men's necklaces can be customized with his nickname, or the names and birthdays of his grandchildren. There are also cufflinks, pens, and pendants that made out of salvaged seats from famous American ballparks. Baseball fan grandpas will love our vintage sports decor gifts. Grandpa might also appreciate a framed stadium print, which highlights distinctive baseball stadiums of the past and present. Flags and pins are included to mark his favorite ballpark, his next planned destination, and each place he has visited.
Golfing grandpas would likely prefer a framed golf course map, which highlights the best golf spots in the United States. A set of pins and flags is included with this map, too, so grandpa can carefully mark the location of every hole in one. Smaller golf gifts, like monogrammed golf club links and good luck golf tees, add a personal touch to his game. Our top-rated golfer's shoe carrier bag and golfer's cooler bag also work well as grandparent gifts. If grandpa prefers the grill to the green, consider our selection of BBQ and grilling gifts instead. Fun picks include monogrammed branders, laser thermometers, and personalized barbeque tool sets. Many of the items in this collection are also for home décor & home and garden, like the grill master cutting board or personalized serving platter. Grandpas that like indoor pastimes – such as reading, crossword puzzles, and movies – will be pleased by gifts of comfort, like our pajamas & robe & spa selection. A pair of cushy slippers or soft pjs will be used often, and much appreciated.
Grandpas offer us love, discipline, knowledge, and fun. The aforementioned grandpa gifts, other men's gifts, and even grandma gifts at RedEnvelope will express your affection in a tangible way. When words just aren't enough, consider a thoughtful gift for grandpa. You can speak from your heart without speaking a word, by gifting items from our unique and varied collection.

The heart is a muscle. It pumps blood containing oxygen and nutrients throughout the body.
We need oxygen and nutrients to work……to eat…and even to rest.
Normally, the heart pumps enough blood to all the parts of your body.
But when you have heart failure, your heart is weakened, and pumps less blood.
When this happens, your body tries to help the heart pump more blood by releasing chemicals, called hormones, which make the heart bigger.
But over time, this actually weakens your heart more, and it pumps even less blood.
If your body does not get enough blood, it begins holding onto fluid. Slowly the fluid begins building up. This is called edema, and is the cause of many heart failure symptoms.
Shortness of breath, one of most alarming symptoms of heart failure, is caused by fluid build-up in the lungs.
Swelling and loss of your appetite are other symptoms of heart failure.
They can occur if fluid buildup in the feet, legs, hands, face and abdomen. Heart failure can also make you feel very tired.
That's because the parts of your body are not getting the blood they need to work properly. The weaker your heart gets, the worse these symptoms become.
If they get too bad, you may need to go to the hospital.

text: The worst part about this encounter is there is no Down time for anyone to Mana up. People should be aware of that an work with your healz to take as little damage as you can. We 2 tanked an 3 healed this encounter. A Shammy healer is advantageous in the encounter for their Mana regen Totem. Healers need to work with each other in talking when their mana is getting low so that the mana regen totem can be droped. We used Myself (shammy) an Disc priest an a Holy Pally. Be ready to use mana pots if you need to. Flask of Mojo is much better for this fight then Flask of Frost Wrym. Good luck an happy tanking. Thanks for this video.

Renewed Protests in Tunisia
After the Tunisian government postponed elections from this month to October in the budding new democracy, tensions between the multitude of political parties, the government, and Tunisian citizens has begun to build. Protesters are anxious about the lagging economy and the slow-moving democratic reforms. A protest on 17 July turned violent when anti-government protesters lit tires and threw rocks, and a 14 year old boy was tragically killed by the police.

Head high into the Andes to explore the latest theories surrounding the majestic Inca site that confounds scholars to this day.
- A mesmerizing, all-access tour of one of the world's most impressive and important archeological sites.
- Experts reveal the latest theories about its purpose and construction.
- See rare footage from when Machu Picchu was first re-discovered.
It is perched on a mountain ridge in the Andes, 1,600 feet above a river valley - and 8,000 feet above sea level. A city of stone built without mortar, the wheel, or iron tools, it is so perfectly constructed that the thinnest knife blade cannot fit between the joints in the massive granite blocks that make up most of the structures. But why was it built? And why was it abandoned, apparently only a couple hundred years after it was built?
MODERN MARVELS® heads high into the Andes to explore the mysterious cloud city of the Inca, and meets the archeologists and scholars who are leading the efforts to reveal its many secrets. Well above the surrounding cloud forest, Machu Picchu likely had no commercial, military or administrative use, but many theorists now believe that it was a royal estate and religious retreat, and we'll examine the evidence that points to this conclusion.

This ottoman is gorgeous. Very stylish, solid, and seemingly good quality. After I assembled it and placed it in my living room, I absolutely loved it. However, the chemical smell emanating from the fabric was overwhelming. Within minutes our living room was filled with toxic fumes. We placed the ottoman in the garage to air out for about a week, but were unwilling to bring it back into the house due to the strong chemical odor. While the ottoman IS beautiful, I can't in good conscience recommend it, especially if you have small children as we do who may be in close contact with the furniture.
ordered to go with new family room furniture. I actually reupholstered the top myself to be less tufted in a darker fabric that coordiinated with my new furniture and for the price it was perfect for a project like that. Couldn't buy anything similar without a custom order for 5x the price. I love Overstock!
I was a bit nervous waiting for the ottoman to arrive, based on some of the reviews about how hard the surface is on this product. Well, I am VERY happy to say that I think the surface is perfect! It is solid, yes, but very comfortable to put my feet up after a long day, AND it is great setting drink trays, etc. on top which will not spill when I then put my feet up as well. It took me five minutes to unpack, and another 5 minutes to screw in the legs, and just like that I had the perfect accessory to our living room!
My wife and I scoured the internet for weeks looking for an ottoman to suit our needs. We had two main desires from a piece: we wanted to be able to put our feet up on it and also be able to set drinks, etc. on it. We opted for this one, making a slight compromise on our second desire. We decided, though, that we could purchase a nice tray and it would hopefully suit both of our needs well. Unfortunately, this ottoman did not. Firstly, it took Overstock 3 shipments to get us the entire ottoman. The first shipment, we were sent a dog bed. The second, we were sent the correct ottoman, but without the shelf. A final third shipment received nearly a month after the purchase date was required for us to be able to assemble the ottoman. I didn't factor Overstock's ineptitude into my rating for the ottoman, but just wanted to mention it. As far as the ottoman goes, it's actually quite nice looking and very sturdy/well made. The storage area above the shelf was a little smaller than desired, only big enough to put a laptop and a couple magazines and be able to retrieve them easily. It looks exactly like the picture with the one exception being what looks like a soft, comfortable, tufted top is as hard a rock. It's so uncomfortable to put your feet or legs on, it's unusable for that purpose. And since that was the case, it was a poor solution to our needs and we're returning it. If you're planning on using this ottoman for decoration only, by all means, get it. But if you want a comfortable ottoman you can put your feet up on, keep looking.
I am so happy with this ottoman! It is well made with solid wood, the fabric and stitching are also of good quality. I have been looking for the perfect coffee table/ottoman for awhile now, I really can't believe the price I paid for this ottoman. It coordinates easy with most decor and is a substantial piece of furiture. One reviewer mentioned the chemical smell. I did smell the "new" smell, but it went away within a couple of days. It arrived in 3 days!
I read some reviews avail at the time of purchase and helped realized this was the ottoman I was looking for. Recently moved to NYC from a house to an apt. I needed some sort of dual practical use: ottoman/coffee table. This ottoman offered both as it has a second wood layer where I storage my photo albums and others. It's durable, fashionable, easy to assemble!!! It took us 15 mins to put together. The price was right and the delivery on time (a day early than estimated) I will definitely recommend this product! thanks NewYorker
Attractive and heavy duty. We like the firmness of the upholstered top (things don't bounce off when you put your feet up on or sit on it) and find it comfortable enough to sit on. Took advice of other raters and sprayed with fabric protector, which I also recommend. Easy to assemble.
I made an error, I ordered the wrong ottoman, the Ottoman that I order very nice, but I need a square one.
I was able to put this together on my own without assistance. There is no need for tools other than to open the box it was shipped in. I love the detail on the legs and the stained finish is exactly what I was hoping for in order to match it to our entertainment center. Warning, this is HEAVY - I think the shipping weight says 72 lbs so this shouldn't be seen as a very mobile piece of furniture. It's also much larger than normal rectangular ottomans so make sure you room can handle it. Our 80 pound Rhodesian Ridgeback jumps up on it for naps daily and it is exceptionally sturdy. I rated the style of the product as Good rather than Excellent because I'm not a huge fan of the script material but once it's worn or stained, I plan on recovering with something more our style - thank you to the person who asked the question about the ability to recover and maintain the tufting!
If you are looking for an ottoman look no more. The only thing I would recommend is scotch guarding it. Shipping was very fast. Very happy with this product.

Great accent along the bed in my guest room. Second rug I have purchased from you...thanks...great sale!RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
The rug is great. It's exactly as pictured abd very well made. Shipping was very fast and the price was reasonable. Couldn't ask for more than that!RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
Very nice weight & quality. Vacuums up nicely. Arrived earlier than expected. Only caveat is that the note to take it out of the plastic ASAP should be outside the wrapping, not rolled inside where you don't see it until you open it. (I waited over a week to open it, but no harm was done)RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
I received the rug in only a few days and it is beautiful. It is the perfect color red and looks great in my bedroom.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
Purchased this throw rug to place next to my bed to save on wear there. Will work out just fine.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
Purchased this throw rug to plaace next to my bed to save on wear there. Will work out just fine.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
I rated this rug "Average" because of the excellent low price; otherwise, I did not like the texture which was shiny and cheap-looking, or the color which is more of a light aqua blue than the light true blue pictured on the website. The construction looked satisfactory, but all in all the rug looked plastic. Because of this hard finish, spots would probably clean up well. At any rate, our granddaughter can probably use it in her dormitory room where its looks don't matter too much.RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
So far the rug looks great. I think it will wear well and does not show the dirt. The actual color is much darker then shown on the internet, it is a dark spruce green.
The quality of the rug surpassed my expectations.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
I have recently bought this rug. It is more beautiful than the picture I will get more for my home.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
This is a sturdy, handsome rug. I've tried other rugs of wool and chenille and neither seems to look very good after some traffic has crossed over them. I love the little dots of color which dress it up - solid colors can be boring. This rug is GREAT!RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
I LOVE this rug. It is very sturdy, doesn't lift easily if you "bump" into it with your feet. The weight of this rug makes it look very luxurious. The little colored specks give it a very nice look since solids can be kind of boring by themselves. I only wish that it was available in a 7-foot round so I could put one under my kitchen table. The sand color is great and looks very nice in my den. I've ordered the Navy for my living room.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

WASHINGTON - Officials in Washington say two people have been fired after leaving a 4-year-old boy with special needs on a school bus for hours.
The Office of the State Superintendent of Education, which is responsible for transporting special-needs students in the city, says the boy was picked up at 7:35 a.m. Tuesday and the bus went to his school. It is unclear why he did not get off.
The bus driver and an attendant returned the bus to the terminal and got off but did not notice the child, who had apparently fallen asleep.
The student was found in his booster seat more than six hours later when the driver and attendant went to inspect the vehicle before going on their afternoon route. The boy was released to his mother.

Will two brothers engaged in an Gay (active sexua)l relationship, in what currently would be defined as an incestuios act be allowed to Marry once same sex marriage is allowed or codified into law?
If not, what would be the legal basis for denying those brothers their equal protections under any same sex marriage act? If neither is capable of becoming impregnated, what would the argument be? That most of us can't or won't accept that 'Lifestyle' because it's...well...just too plain-old-fashion deviant, just too darned pinchie-me-hoot-by-golly-gee-goin-straight-to-hell, sick-o ..or.. what?
With all due respect, I must disagree with Mr. Mason's assessment of the October Term 2007 Heller decision and the 2nd Amendment. The only "radical claim" I have observed, is in your letter sir. It appears very obvious that you have deliberately misquoted, reorganized and distorted Scalia's narrative to fit your own purpose.
Your assertion: "The court used Heller to clarify that "the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia." Justice Scalia, writing for the court, goes on to explain that this individual right has limits. The Second Amendment does not confer "a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose."" will not to be found in this context anywhere in the decision. You have taken different quotes from two different sections of the decision and combined them in you attempt to distort the decision.
Let's break this down. Your quote from Paragraph 1 of the decision: "The court used Heller to clarify that "the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia."
The correct quote: "1. The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.Pp. 2–53."
A very important sub paragraph (f) of 1, which has direct bearing on your next quote is as follows: "(f) None of the Court's precedents forecloses the Court's interpre¬tation. Neither United States v. Cruikshank, 92 U. S. 542, 553, nor Presser v. Illinois, 116 U. S. 252, 264–265, refutes the individual-rights interpretation. United States v. Miller, 307 U. S. 174, does not limit the right to keep and bear arms to militia purposes, but rather limits the type of weapon to which the right applies to those used by the militia, i.e., those in common use for lawful purposes. Pp. 47–54."
Your next sentence / quote is from Paragraph 2, skipping over and omitting six (6) subsections to get here: "Justice Scalia, writing for the court, goes on to explain that this individual right has limits. The Second Amendment does not confer "a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose."
The correct quote: "2. Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited. It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose: For example, concealed weapons prohibitions have been upheld under the Amendment or state analogues. The Court's opinion should not be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms. Miller's holding that the sorts of weapons protected are those "in common use at the time" finds support in the historical tradition of prohibiting the carrying of dangerous and unusual weapons. Pp. 54–56." Please note the very important words "in common use at the time".
Once again you forgot to complete the quote Mr. Mason, and in doing so you have deliberately changed the entire context. "Miller's holding that the sorts of weapons protected are those "in common use at the time" finds support in the historical tradition of prohibiting the carrying of dangerous and unusual weapons." When the quote is complete it changes the entire meaning of your "abbreviated" quote. "3. The handgun ban and the trigger-lock requirement (as applied to self-defense) violate the Second Amendment. The District's total ban on handgun possession in the home amounts to a prohibition on an entire class of "arms" that Americans overwhelmingly choose for the lawful purpose of self-defense. Under any of the standards of scrutiny the Court has applied to enumerated constitutional rights, this prohibition—in the place where the importance of the lawful defense of self, family, and property is most acute—would fail constitutional muster. Similarly, the requirement that any lawful firearm in the home be disassembled or bound by a trigger lock makes it impossible for citizens to use arms for the core lawful purpose of self-defense and is hence unconstitutional."
I would also submit that any attempt to ban semi-automatic rifles would also be further encumbered by the fact that the semi-automatic rifle is a very popular hunting rifle and recognized as a standard requirement in competition by the Federal Civilian Marksmanship Program. Excellence-In-Competition (EIC) Matches, CMP Games Events (Garand, Springfield, Carbine, Military Rifle) and other CMP-sanctioned competitions. Created by an Act of Congress, the CPRPFS derives its mission from public law (Title 36 USC, §40701-40733).
Just as a point of interest to your reference of "clips" the largest "clip" made only holds 10 rounds!
How about we start with global warming wannabe god, Al Gore. Al said (in his slanted movie), "The Earth is warmer than it has ever been". And yet the Romans were able to grow grapes in England during their dominance. And as late as 1350, the southern region of Greenland was free of ice and had been farmed for 400 years. Question: How could this warming occur without man driving SUVs all over the place?
How does Al answer that? -- Simple -- He unequivocally states, "The debate is over" -- and thus avoiding the prospect of answering anything.
So all we need to begin an open discussion is the recording of that debate. Oops! It seems there was never any debate, Al just made that up. And making up facts has been about the only strength Al can claim (remember, he said he 'invented the internet').
Doesn't it seem odd that studies of ice core, tree rings, and ocean sediment tell a story much different than Al's? The fluctuation of temperatures has been occurring throughout the history of the Earth, and today is no different.
When someone states 'the climate is changing' they are correct. When they attempt to blame (or credit) man, proof must match up. And with all the evidence to the contrary, blind allegiance isn't a very strong position from which to argue.
What happens is some people take their common belief and push it on others, in the real world the others can shrug it off and do their own thing, but when this happens in the poltical world (we can't) sadly, thus laws that really don't affect the majority affect the few in a negative way.
Wouldn't be great if we could get to a place where everyday citizens could vote via computer on issues that come up and based on those results, Our leaders (if you can call them that) could only respond to how and what the people actually want?
Personally I'm happy Washington passed the law.
I took this college class on this topic, they didn't take the life, liberty and pursuit approach. But I think it's interesting though to use it, because there are severfal facts that make this difficult to establish law. First of all not all people that get married (man and woman) can have children, so does that mean the marriage is void? Second is do we know in the future that two man can't have a child? where does it play in if a person hasd sex and a child out of marriage?
There were other additional things, but if I posted them I would be banned for life..
Another point is I remember when Gay Marriage failed in California people acted out in violent nature.. And people responded "I can't believe they would do that".. but what people tend to forget when people get oppressed, they get angry.. and they act out.
Not everyone has the ability to view an abstraction from the same perspective, Troy.
As recently as the year of our Lord, 1973, homosexuality was a mental illness. What has changed since that time. I would argue that what had actually changed, was a demographic shift that had occurred over the prior two to four decades, in whom was going to medical school to earn Ph Ds in the science of Psychiatry.
Just my opinion, not that my opinion matters.

--Arthur Schopenhauer
Life will imitate art, and the genius that is Hollywood knows how to hit that target better than anyone.

I think they may have listed it a personality disorder, but I'm not sure. I think a lot has changed in psychology, but I also think that maybe at that timie period, people kept in a closet. The more people came out I think they changed their stand and changed criteria in bahavior, and certai characteristics still falls into those new persomality disorders.

text: 4 Nice Game To Have In Your Collection...tennishead39 | 08/01/2009 | See all tennishead39's reviews (33)Top 100 Reviewer Top 10 Games Reviewer Well I received Fable II (2) as a present on Christmas day, after hearing some good things about it. A friend of mine told me about it so I decided to give it a go, was I disappointed??? As you can see 4 stars is a pretty good mark, so I am not disappointed, quite impressed actually! Your journey begins with you as a small child (boy or girl, it is your choice) who is homeless & looks up to their older sister for guidance in the harsh world that they live in. You & your sister see a "magic box" which you believe could get you out of the squalor you are living in. A wish is made & eventually you end up in the town castle. The King sees the two of you as heroes but he also sees you as a threat & kills your sister & tries to kill you. You survive & are found by Theresa, a women who helps you survive for the next ten years or so & your trusty new friend, a dog!From here the game skips ahead to the time of adulthood. You've been living in a camp for the last few years but now is the time for you to avenge your Sisters death, so you leave the camp with just a sword, a crossbow & the clothes on your back, oh & of coarse your new companion- the dog. The storyline is quite simple & can be completed pretty quickly however it is the sheer depth of Fable II (2) that keeps you playing for hours on end! If you were to just complete the game by following the yellow line & doing no more then you would find this awfully boring indeed. I recommend getting side tracked & end up working as a woodcutter in order to earn enough money to purchase a house instead of doing what you are supposed to do- these are my favourite moments in the game!Another key feature of Fable II (2) is the visuals, now if you have sprint through Bowerstone Market to escape the Guards that are chasing you because you stole from some guy's shop & then attempted to kill him on the way out then you are properly not going to notice the crystal clear graphics in Fable II (the wonderful graphics may be enhanced by your HD television), however if you don't have a HD telly then you should still be able to see the clarity of the graphics. In my opinion, however the reel flaw of this game is that there is very little variation between the weird & wonderful characters that you meet, example: Sue the villager could look the same as Lisa the tailor. This, unfortunately, is where the game's few flaws lie, the lack of variation in the faces of the people is the reason many people (including myself) have taken a star away from the overall rating! The countryside you travel through is quite breathtaking. Getting sidetracked allows you to explore the landscape around you & get your dog to find treasure, fight bandits or simply attack the locals, if you are evil!In Fable II you can choose to be either good or evil. Good being you get a job & earn a living the honest way, this way people will respect you & you can even sign autographs for your loyal fans. Evil means you steel & kill & people will fear you. This way is less honourable but arguably more fun. Which path you choose, its up to you.Pros:+ Good solid role-playing game.+ Stunning visuals.+ Loads of characters to meet.+ Choice of being good or evil.+ The chance to use magic.+ Option of getting sidetracked.+ A nice, solid Xbox live feature+ Decent replay value.Cons:- Everyone you meet looks far too alike.- The basic storyline is far too short.- The gameplay really doesn't differ from any other role-playing game on the market.- There aren't enough magic spells.- Not to everyone's taste.Overall: 8.5/10.Graphics: 8.5/10.Gameplay: 7/10.Storyline: 8/10.

Not the Great Bird Plant People Used to Think It Was
Autumn olive was widely planted by farmers and homeowners to attract birds and provide cover for wildlife, but is it really a great wildlife plant? Many resident birds like robins and mockingbirds eat the sugary fruits, but because autumn olive tends to push out native plant species, it lowers the diversity of foods available. Migratory songbirds need high fat fruits provided by native shrubs such as viburnums and spicebush. Birds also need many insects for protein and to feed to their young. Autumn olive supports very few insects compared to a diverse planting of native shrubs.

Science behind acupuncture
Kristi King, WTOP reporter
WASHINGTON - Local researchers are now closer to understanding how acupuncture works to reduce chronic stress.
The alternative medicine practiced for centuries seems to work on rats, local researchers found. Research conducted at Georgetown University Medical Center found acupuncture reduced levels of the stress hormone cortisol in the brain and blood of stressed out rats.
"Many practitioners of acupuncture have observed that this ancient practice can reduce stress in their patients, but there is a lack of biological proof of how or why this happens," says the study's lead author Ladan Eshkevari in the Medical Center news release.
Rats were used as test subjects because they are often used to research the biological determinants of stress, the release said.
"We found that electronic acupuncture blocks the chronic, stress-induced elevations of the HPA axis hormones and the sympathetic NPY pathway," Eshkevari says in the release.
