The ISS is getting its own microbrewery, thanks to a sixth grader
Beer has never been brewed in microgravity before, and we can't say that the folks at NASA would have gotten around to trying it out on their own anytime soon. Thanks to eleven-year-old Michal Bodzianowski, though, the ISS will soon be equipped with a custom orbital microbrewery.
Being that Bodzianowski is only in sixth grade, his impetus for the experiment wasn't simply to get a few astronauts drunk — or if it was, he's not admitting to it. The idea actually came from a book that informed Bodzianowski of the ancient use of beer as a safer alternative to water: since beer is brewed, it's often perfectly fine to drink when local water may contaminated. He then figured that, in the event of water contamination aboard the ISS, beer might just save a few lives.
Once Bodzianowski's microbrewing kit arrives at the ISS this winter, astronauts will conduct history's first microgravity microbrew. Simultaneously, Bodzianowski himself will cook up a batch of the very same beer here on terra firma. The differences will be analyzed and the beers compared, and that'll be that for the experiment. On the record, at least. If it's successful, Bodzianowski's brew could spawn a whole new space-faring brewing industry. After all, we'd sure like to know what space beer tastes like.

I did stop at the Save-A-Lot plaza and scrape the wiper blades clear of ice, but they still refused to squirt anything out. So I popped the hood and stared at the skinny tube running from the washer-fluid reservoir to the wipers, hoping I might secretly possess the power to fix the defective mechanism with my mind.
Despite the 20-degree weather, I'd neglected to put on a jacket when I got out of the car, and, after 10 minutes of standing there in my t-shirt, I decided that I'd done enough staring. The roads weren't that moist and salty, I told myself. I'd be fine, even if I didn't have the useless-at-all-times-except-for-right-now power to mentally fix windshield-washer fluid mechanisms (which, it turned out, I didn't).
Somewhere between Tupper Lake and Cranberry Lake, a red pickup truck pulled out of a side road ahead of me and proceeded to putter along at a cool 35 miles per hour, its tires spewing a gritty paste onto my front window. (I understand that I could have slowed down, put a few car lengths between us, and avoided the truck's back-spray, but, to paraphrase Sammy Hagar, I can't drive 25.)
At the same time, the sun came scudding out from behind the clouds, as if it had overslept and was rushing into work at eleven-thirty, hoping no one would notice its tardiness. Well, I noticed, because when the sunlight hit the windshield's white crust, I went blind.
The smart, responsible thing to do would have been to pull over and clean the front window with a handful of snow - but I decided that was for nerds. I could sort of see the road through a few dime-sized holes in the glaring sheet of light blanketing the windshield, and that seemed good enough. I had a long way to go, after all, and I couldn't stop for something as small as not being able to see the road or anything on it.

Bad Bait Fish
by Maddelyn Harden, Dr. Heather Deese, and Catherine Schmitt
Uncertainty about the future availability of bait looms over Maine's lobster industry like a big, gray cloud. What if restrictions on the herring fishery tighten or herring become too expensive? Past bait shortages and concerns about the future already have prompted many lobstermen to pursue alternative bait sources and types. But with different bait comes new concerns about the impacts on lobster health, human health, public perception, and the marine ecosystem.
Viral hemorrhagic septicemia (VHS) is an infectious disease caused by the virus VHSV that adversely affects rainbow trout and other freshwater fish species. Related strains of the virus have been found in marine fish in both the North Pacific and North Atlantic oceans; the Great Lakes recently experienced a damaging outbreak of the disease and recovery may take decades.
The concern for Maine has been that bait fish species used in Maine may be susceptible to the virus, although the spread of VHS through bait fish has never been documented. Threat of VHS has existed for several years; however, no current policies in Maine exist to stop the import of bait fish suspected of hosting the pathogen. The issue has been discussed at the 2012 Maine Fishermen's Forum, Canadian/US Lobstermen's Town Meeting, and other industry gatherings.
Currently, the greatest known threat is the strain known as VHSV IVb, according to Deborah Bouchard, of the University of Maine's Animal Health Laboratory and Aquaculture Research Institute. This strain, which is present throughout the Great Lakes ecosystem, is an RNA virus. RNA viruses can mutate quickly, allowing the virus to adapt to new environments. While the effects on the marine ecosystem are uncertain, the virus could devastate Maine's freshwater ecosystems if introduced. "It's a bio-security issue, because we have several state hatcheries raising salmonids, trout species and minnows which are all very susceptible to VHSV," said Bouchard, who worked with Dr. Ian Bricknell, director of UMaine's Aquaculture Research Institute, to conduct laboratory experiments to see how long VHSV could survive in carp fish heads. The virus remained viable in dead and degrading fish, even after salting at room temperature, although salting did work to inactivate the disease after several days.
The transmission of VHSV can occur as a result of fish to fish contact, water transfer, contaminated eggs, and the use of infected fish as bait. Fish infected with VHSV are carriers of the virus their whole lives and can subsequently infect their environment through natural biological life cycles.
Detecting a diseased or infected fish in a natural environment can be difficult. External symptoms include bloated abdomens, red or swollen eyes and red coloration of the skin, gills and fins. Red dots may occur in varying sizes on the skin's surface. Fish may display abnormal behavior such as erratic and continued flashing (a documented fish behavior where the fish scrapes its body or gill on hard surfaces) if they are infected. There are no signs that indicate the disease affects human health.
When VHSV IVb affected the Great Lakes region, very few states had policies in place regulating the export of live bait fish. After the outbreaks which occurred around 2005, several new policies emerged in Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin regarding the transport of live bait fish, with other policies and regulations being drafted in other regions of the United States.
Compared to other states, Maine has a strict regulatory system for aquaculture finfish species. But there is little regulatory oversight or restrictions on lobster bait products, although use of salmon carcasses is limited to prevent transfer of infectious salmon anemia virus from Cobscook Bay to other parts of the state.
Deidre Gilbert and Carl Wilson of the Maine Department of Marine Resources (DMR) outlined the actions being taken by the agency to help ameliorate the threat of the pathogen.
According to Gilbert, there has been a dichotomy in the regulatory process concerning bait. "Five years ago, in response to the use of cow hides as bait, the Legislature prohibited 'the waste or rendering of any non-marine organism' as bait, language which inadvertently included freshwater fish species. But freshwater fish had been used for years. Everyone uses suckers as bait, and at the time there was no reason why this couldn't be," Gilbert explained. "Now that VHS is a threat to bait fish, a framework needs to be provided under which regulators from the DMR can create parameters or prohibitions on high-risk organisms."
According to Gilbert, "We need a mechanism to ban high-risk aquatic species of bait fish. The department needs to create an evaluation process."
Toward that end, emergency legislation enacted in February 2012 allows the Department of Marine Resources commissioner to maintain a list of acceptable and prohibited bait types.
Bouchard suggested additional risk reduction policies that could protect the industry and the ecosystem could include tracking bait fish origins and conditions of bait fish harvest.
Carl Wilson of the Maine DMR stated, "Lobster fishermen would be remiss if they were doing something to harm the entire ecosystem. The industry has responded well to the threat."

How the iPad is succeeding in healthcare
Wired has posted a profile of one Afshad Mistri, an Apple employee whose goal is quite focused. As the medical market manager, he's tasked with connecting medical professionals and Apple's technology. Mistri couldn't chat with Wired for the article itself (Apple's less-than-press-friendly reputation is upheld), but according to medical personnel he's working with, Apple is pushing hard on the healthcare industry by setting up iPads and other brand new tech in medical workplaces.
That's interesting, as Apple traditionally hasn't aggressively pursued the enterprise, leaving most offices to companies like Microsoft and RIM. But the medical market is different. In addition to Mistri's behind-the-scenes work and stories about organizations using the iPad, Apple has featured medical apps during several public presentations.
It's not a big surprise, since the medical industry is tech-friendly (which is right where Apple wants to be) and has deep pockets to fund upgrades. But it is interesting that Apple has chosen to actively pursue medicine. We can probably expect to see more universities and hospitals embracing the iPad and Apple's devices moving forward.

U-S Attorney General Alberto Gonzales handed Kentucky a check for 400-thousand dollars today to help crack down on child predators.
Gonzales says Kentucky is one of many states that have a problem with children meeting predators over the Internet.
Today, Gonzales toured an advocacy center in Lexington that helps children who are sexually abused.
The 400-thousand dollars goes to the Kentucky-based Project Safe Childhood Task Force, which has been vigilant in helping police investigate Internet crimes.
According to the Department of Justice, one in seven children who use the Internet has been sexually solicited and one in three has been exposed to unwanted sexual material

On Nov. 5, 2009 an Army major "psychiatrist jihadist" shouts "Allahu Akbar" and guns down more than 40 people, fatally injuring 13 in a gun free zone at Fort Hood. On July 20, 2012, a crazed man enters a theater in Aurora, Colo., guns down 70 people, fatally injuring 12 in a gun free zone. At Sandy Hook Elementary, also a gun-free zone, on December 14 2012, Adam Lanza fatally shoots 20 children and 6 adults. In Washington, D.C., on Sept. 16, a shooter kills at least 12 people in a gun free zone of a Naval yard reinforced with military security.
There are others as well: Virginia Tech — a gun free zone. Columbine High School — a gun free zone.
Maybe it's time we quit calling it a "gun free zone" and refer to it by its real description: "Unarmed victim zone."

Shaq Visits Coach Bob Hurley at St. Anthony High School
At 8:20am the bell rang and another day of educating began at St. Anthony High School.
This, however, was no usual Tuesday for the Friar student body.
You could see the curiosity looming between periods as the students saw cameras in the auditorium but little did they know that they were in for a BIG surprise visit.
Coach Bob Hurley went to the front of the school where he greeted their surprise visitor, Shaquille O'Neal.
Shaq who grew up just miles away from the Jersey City school in neighboring Newark was visiting the school for the very first time.
Coach Hurley took Shaq on a tour of St. Anthony walking thru the trophy littered hallways.
However before you knew it the tour came to an end because there is just nothing left to see. St. Anthony only has twelve classrooms, an auditorium, cafeteria, and a storage closet converted into a weight room.
"I never knew it was this small. The way they talk about [Coach Hurley] and his son I thought they played in a 10,000 sq. foot gym." Shaq continued, "This man has 200 championships and he has to rent a gym?"
While St. Anthony High School doesn't have a gym on site, they have needs that go beyond basketball in order to continue to keep the bell ringing every morning at 8:20.
Shaq saw firsthand and it really hit home.
"I speak their language. We all come from the same place….When I come to see these kids, I think they know and understand that anything is possible. I will always try to give them the blueprint to success."
Shaq spent an afternoon to meet with Coach Hurley and show his support for a school that is producing results. Yesterday afternoon is sure to be one these kids won't soon forget.

Discussion in 'Political Discussion' started by PatsFanInVa, Jul 25, 2008.
Well, silly righties, how do you feel about it now that the real story is out?
I can't heaaaaar youuuuuuuuu
Your title is very misleading
Seems like Obama was afraid to visit the troups without his media entourage.
I don't even get the question as he wasn't prevented (unless the REAL OBAMA requires the press) and you start out with "silly righties". Your thread deserves no response.
Check your facts PFIV ... he was welcome ... his staff WAS NOT.
PFIV only reads what suits his left sided brain.
The visit was planned and arranged, and the Pentagon announced to him on short notice the planned visit could not happen.
Talk about only hearing what your programmed mind is permitted to hear! You guys are nuts. The Pentagon cancelled the planned visit, and they withheld information until the day of the visit. What a crock, saying "ohhhhhh he can only visit the troops if his campaign comes with him" -- when his Senate staff (the "allowable" staff,) had already got on the plane to go home.
You guys need to look inside and ask if you believe yourselves. Nobody else does.
A.K.A. - the planned photo op could not happen.
He just hates America and freedom.
You're lost ... an Obama fawner ... oh well.
Can you supply a realiable link that states "The Pentagon cancelled the planned visit" because this is the first time I've heard this? All the news sources I've read, heard on the radio or saw on tv state he had the opportunity to visit the troups.
Sorry PFIV, I think you are grasping here.
They didn't stop him from visiting they would allow reporters so he could use the troops at props for a photo op, so e couldn't be bothered visiting the troops if no photo op was involved, the real BO indeed. :singing:
They refused to allow his point of contact for the visit... to visit. So yeah, without notice, we get "Sure, just don't bring your staff." Evidently, the Pentagon banned a retired major general acting as the Obama campaign point-of-contact:
The reason the Pentagon will not allow General Gration on base is as yet unexplained. Evidently, Pentagon sources speculate that Gration got "torqued" and therefore the visit was off. Gration says that the Pentagon is torpedoing the visit. Certainly banning staffers from the event is not exactly the best way to grease the skids and make things run smoothly; to do so AFTER the departure of the Senate staffers certainly does not look coincidental.
But you guys have bought the whole bill of goods from the right for so long you really, truly believe that Obama "shows his true colors" if he is not visiting troops, and is somehow not sincere enough when he is visiting troops. I don't expect anything resembling serious discourse anymore.
Think about it, dudes. You have your beloved sitting president, responsible for over 4,000 American deaths, for "reasons" that have long since evaporated, leaving us with "um... well we're there now."
You've got a guy who called the draw-down timeline perhaps a week or two ago, and in the intervening time everybody from Bush to Maliki to McCain has climbed on board. Bush and McCain even now believe it was their idea.
The guy is going to save the lives of Americans and Iraqis, and soldiers responded to him pretty enthusiastically elsewhere on the trip.
And what's the pentagon think? Petraeus plays nice on their photo op, and then they tweek the campaign on the way out.
But you clowns trying to spin this into "he really hates the troops" is utter bullcrap. It's a wonder you guys believe the rot you spew in these forums, but you do. So what's the point?
The Pentagon kept him off the base, but you've been crowing too long about how "the real Obama" skipped the visit, and couldn't cope when it turned out the Pentagon was behind the snafu.
Eh, you're still good for a laugh.
If anything, this story absolutely shows what a first class phoney Obama is.
He is told he can't make his trip a canpaign photo-op, and to not use injuried soilders as a campaign backdrop, and that he can not bring his beloved press corp with him, so he cancels.
Isn't he a United States Senator? Shouldn't he at least visit some constituants who have been injured fighting for this country without making it about him?
This issue is laughable. He makes a trip and meets with soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq and elsewhere, is welcomed by hundreds of thousands, lauded by the media, gets warm greetings by conservatives Merkel and Sarkozy, and bitter the righties are reduced to lying about his visit to Afghanistan and complaining he didn't make a special trip to visit a few wounded soldiers. Sure, it would have been nice if he did so, but if he visited them, the righties would have complained that he did so for publicity reasons.
Let's check and see if McCain visits wounded soldiers in every city he goes to. The issue is absurd and purely political. It's disgusting the way the rightis are exploiting our wounded soldiers as a means of attacking Obama. Have they no shame?
I never commented on it because I thought there might be something more to it, a slick snake oil salesman like Obama would never purposely do that he knows the heat would be all over him.
F-ck Barack Hussein Obama, we will all see the real Obama once he's coronated and sitting on his throne in the Oval Office.
He's running on "Change", America isn't going to like the change but if he is what they want so be it, the Republicans deserve the BEATING their going to take running an old Liberal A$s Hole Democrat Mole like Mccain.
Good Luck.
Well hell, Harry, I disagree with you on just about everything, and your phrasing manages to work in how terrible Obama is as a person etc., but at least you got the point. No, he's not snubbing the wounded. Yes, there's more to it.
I mean even with the digs you packaged in there, I can respect that.
Bless You My Son----
For the record ... there would have been no press and no pictures ... try again. Also ... more sound bites concerning this huge lie.
Also "Laughable" ??? Only a liberal would call a story about visiting wounded troops laughable.
What, is there a 1000-word cordon now around the word "military", so that if right wingers describing the military are called "laughable," that's now some sort of thought crime.
Dunno what you're pointing out on the part of Patters. I called you guys laughable. That's not quite the same thing as calling wounded troops laughable. For the record, it's also pretty funny how the Pentagon engineered this, although it worked on the right wing blog punks, so the usual 20% are towing the line on it.
I know you're in the 20%, so that's fine. It's a happy little delusional world, where the white house supplies talking points to the "no spin zone"/"Fair and balanced network," and they air them for the same old hard core lockstep disneyland right wingers. Then they're regurgitated ad infinitum by the bloggers, and the bloggers make up their own "news outlets", and we see them repeated here and elsewhere.
Thing is, everybody knows that the white house lies. Everybody knows that the Pentagon impeding access to Obama, followed by a blogosphere wildfire about how Obama hates the troops blah blah blah, is a lie. You guys just lie habitually. Your elites know they're lying, which just makes them the usual bunch of cynical hacks. The grass roots are sort of sad and funny at the same time, parroting the party line. I don't even know how many of them know they're lying.
It's a joke, dudes. The right lies, pure and simple. They do it a lot, they do it repetitively, and they do it very indignantly and self-righteously.
The rest of us are sick of it.
The end is near for this regime of lies, gentlemen.
Enjoy the fading rays of glory surrounding your outgoing emperor.

New John Woo Game On XBOX
Quality. Get it
Like a bullet in a China shop
16 CommentsThe developers at Midway obviously understand three important rules. One, smashing an object to pieces becomes increasingly more entertaining in direct proportion to how big and expensive it looks. Two, rendering a man infertile with a high velocity projectile never ever stops being funny. And three, the true path to happiness has got sod all to do with enlightenment, or loving your neighbour, or any of that hippy-dippy nonsense.
Real happiness is watching a never-ending stream of angry strangers writhing on the floor in agony. And anyonewho dares think otherwise is, frankly, deluding themselves.
For the eight or so hours it lasts you on your first play through, John Woo's Stranglehold will preach this simple gospel to you, holding a big-ass gun to your throat and pistol-whipping you repeatedly over the head until you become a true believer.
Make no mistake, few can boast gunplay this satisfying - not that you'd think it by the time you reach the second level, mind you. After the excellent opener (a relatively risk-free sprint through a Hong Kong market district ending in a tile-smashing total trashing of a restaurant) you're whisked off to Tai O - a rickety old village on stilts, all corrugated iron, wooden shacks and skag-infested dosshouses.
You're asked to destroy a handful of little heroin-making installations. A tally appears in the top right-hand corner, and off you go, pumping merrily away with your shottie, seeking them out and laying waste to all and sundry.
Fair enough - but then you're asked you to do it again. And again. And agaaain. A seemingly endless trail of near-identical objectives that set you up a treat for what - at this point - you fear could end up being seven dull levels of tedious, imagination-free gaming. Thankfully that doesn't happen. Because the third level is the inspired Mega Restaurant.
The next hour is an assault on the senses the like of which we've rarely experienced. Priceless Ming vases shatter in the faces of your (frankly stupid) assailants. What they lack in smarts they make up for in numbers, falling over themselves as you shower them with bullets, swinging one-handed from a light fixture, cackling to yourself as you hold down the right trigger as though your life depends on it.
With each subsequent floor of the restaurant, you're presented with yet another choice cut of Grade A carnage - until you bear witness to one battle that is quite simply outstanding.
A standoff in an opulent dining hall, where the mission objective is to ensure that at least one member of the band, located in the centre of the stage, is still playing when the shooting stops. No mean feat considering you're using up more small arms fire than the whole of Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon combined. Kicking over tables one minute, sliding over the tops of others the next - with SMG fire shattering fishtanks and cracking skulls at the rate of two a second.
Fifteen minutes of hand-numbing intensity later, you're left sweating and breathless, giving a mental standing ovation to the men and women who brought us this classic gaming moment. Surely things don't get much better than this, do they? Well, yes. Yes, they do. Yes, they do indeed.
It's due in part to the variation in environments - mixing up wide open arenas and tight corridors decorated wall to wall in increasingly interesting ways. Penthouse apartments, all glass and laser trip wires, and a spacious museum with a range of ancient artefacts to condemn to the history books, punctuate the more standard car parks and urban environments. The important thing here is that they force you to play subtly differently. You'll be blowing everything apart one minute and then cowering behind a crumbling concrete block the next.
This is all helped immeasurably by the breakability of (pretty much) everything in a stage. Tiles, lights, tables, pillars - if you can see it, chances are you can blow it apart, and this lends the game a uniquely satisfying energy. Finish a gunfight in any location and it'll looked like you've been spring-cleaning with C4 and a bulldozer. Now, on its own, this would be enjoyable enough - but Stranglehold has a handful of great little mechanics that really polish the whole experience off.
Killing in style is the name of the game. A tap of the right bumper, or holding the left-trigger near a railing, bannister, trolley (or anything else you can interact with) puts you into the well-documented 'Tequila Time' - a focused, slow-motion state that, when you plug heads with a bullet, will award you stars for stylish kills. These stars contribute to your tequila bomb meter - a means of activating several special skills which allow you to either heal yourself a little, or kill more effectively in different, stylish ways.
It's a damn clever system, and a great spin on classic risk/reward gameplay. For example, theoretically at least, so long as you murder enough men, lying face down on a trolley, before diving onto a bannister and kneecapping three of his mates simultaneously with a shotgun, you can heal yourself as much as you like. Or at the very least, experience the thrill of pumping out shotgun blasts, three a second, into anyone stupid enough get in the way.
It's truly exhilarating stuff - and more than enough to make you overlook some very minor flaws. Some of the presentation is a bit rough around the edges, with animations that make Inspector Tequila snap in and out of different movements like he's being dragged around by an epileptic toddler. And there are times when the controls can feel over-sensitive one minute and a less than responsive the next.
And despite the game's undoubted scope for replayability, it is decidedly low on play time. But in the cold light of day, we're not too bothered with all that - because Stranglehold offers something so raw and so hyper-energetic that the next game you play after it will feel positively tired and lethargic in comparison. Woo hoo.

Don Scott and Marty Bass had "Coffee With" Maryland football coach Randy Edsall. Ron Matz had "People Are Talking" about the Poinsettia Sale At Rawlings Conservatory.
Best Florists In Baltimore To Get A Holiday Poinsettia
For many people, winter holiday decorations would not be complete without the poinsettia. The poinsettia is actually a shrub that can attain a height of about 16 feet. People often mistakenly refer to the red pedal-like part of the plant as a flower, but in reality, they are leaves.There are more than 100 cultivated varieties of the plants that feature five colors ranging from white to red. Poinsettias are a hardy plant, but often they fail to receive proper care that will ensure more than a one season life. When the surface of the soil becomes dry to the touch, pour the water onto the soil until it flows out of the bottom of the pot; do not allow the plant to sit in standing water. The plant loves the sun, so place it in a north-facing window if possible.

Design Within Reach Launches Nilus de Matran's DWR: Kitchen
Despite a return to some recent monetary worries, Design Within Reach is following up its launch last May of the small-item Tools for Living collection with the new DWR: Kitchen, which is exactly what it sounds like. Designed by Nilus de Matran, the new outlet is a series of cabinets and islands, all super modern and portable. Although they're still in the process of launching the new line (orders today will take 8 to 12 weeks to be fulfilled), they've put up their first sample on display at their SoHo store. Here's a bit from the PR department:
The hardware-free fronts have a timeless aesthetic and appliances can be fitted with matching fronts for an uninterrupted look. Behind the doors and drawers are options such as in-drawer knife storage and spice racks, rolling recycling bins and plate holders that adjust to fit various dishes. The vacuum-closing drawers render slamming impossible and prevent the interior contents from shifting to the back of the drawer.

Do dreams make you depressed sometimes? I dream of being with my buddies, then I wake up and I'm all alone..
Or there is a new person, and we're having water-fights and stuff. Then I either begin to question the dream's reality (which hence ruins it, because I begin to realize I'm dreaming, I contort it too much) or wake up..then I feel like I miss the person I was just playing with or speaking to. A lot of the time it's a made-up person, but other times, it's my friends. Everytime I dream of them they're glad to see me, then when I wake up I feel upset because I enjoy seeing them everytime and it was like I was really there with them.

What is a firearm cert?
And does that exempt you from owning a SBR without your tax stamp?
I just finished assembling the final piece of mine. Did a little bit every few years.
not a single ruger part left in it. so now I have two. a factory all weather carbine and this one:
Did the initial function check and zero this weekend. it cycles smooth as butter
you have to love the 10/22. I machined out a Ramline folding stock to accept a 1" bull barrel. Replaced the grip with one made from Ergo, and put on a Weaver Super Slam 1.6-6.
I put a ZK-22 bullpup on mine, and also a custom cnc bolt saying Zombie Killer I got the ZK-22 from Red Jacket and the bolt from JWH Custom
AWW MAN!!! You actually got your ZK-22 in? I ordered mine back in august for the September run and am still waiting. the Red jacket site has a notice stating that a large batch had charging handle issues and that they had to manually adjust each one so hence the delay. Am waiting for mine to convert my "stock" sort of all weather so I have a 22 practice version to my PS90
Yeah I waited way too long for it hahaha
Here it is
That Red Jacket stock looks pretty awesome with the heavy barrel!

Glee Spoilers: Hope for Blaine and Kurt?by Matt Richenthal at . Comments
Near the conclusion of "Silly Love Songs," Blaine didn't just break the heart of Kurt. He broke the heart of millions of Glee viewers who were hoping to see these two together.
But don't give up yet, Blurt fans! At the Grammy Awards last night, Darren Criss told TV Guide Magazine that these characters may find their way to each other, after all.
"It's just a minor speed bump," Criss said. "All great love stories need to have their obstacles, otherwise it's not a love story. I hope that they prolong it for as long as possible. But things develop, that's for sure."
Do you wanna see Blaine and Kurt together? Sound off now in our Glee forum!
Matt Richenthal is the Editor in Chief of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Twitter and on Google+.Tags: Glee, Interviews, Spoilers
And yes. Put them together please
@ Kylie
Small point to make - the editor said Blurt, not Burt?
I hope if they do get together that they don't break up because then Darren might have to leave :(
YES ! I hope they will be together. ;)
Small point to make -> Kurt + Blaine = Klaine. Not Burt. Burt is Kurt's father.
I think them being together would be awesome ! Everyone is rooting for this couple and I am no different . I do kinda hope they milk this friendship that they have for everything it's worth because true soild relationships always last longer when they're friends first . :)
Yeah they are cute together and both alot aike:)

How to Stay Calm Before an Airplane Ride
People often get stressed-out before airplane rides. This can be a very hard thing to live with. Fortunately, this article will teach you how to get rid of this fear.
1Arrive early. This will give you a lot of time to relax yourself and not miss your flight. It will also give you more time which you can use to follow the steps more carefully.Ad
2Meditate. This will calm you down a lot. Count to 10,000 slowly, relax, listen to your breathing. Meditation will certainly work. Be sure to breathe slowly and deeply , in through your nose and out through your mouth.
3Put things in perspective. It's a fact that a single flight across America is statistically 261 times safer than a drive across America. Think of that!
4Consider that the pilots and stewards / stewardesses think it's safe or they would not do the jobs they do.
5When your flight is called, go into the plane slowly, sit down, and meditate until the plane is about to take off.
6Relax as best you can and try to enjoy the flight.
7Try to get some shut eye.Ad
We could really use your help!
cleaning carpet?
CD covers?
- Do a sudoku or colouring to take your mind off whats going on.
- Double check that you have everything with you. It's better to find out you're missing something sooner than later.
- Do quick breathing exercises.
- Remember there is a ton of security at the airport and on the airplane, so it's super safe.
- Talk to people around you they maybe jittery too!
- Look out the window when the plane is taking off. This will give you a better understanding of what is happening which will make you less afraid.
- Do not think about how high you are in the air because you will start panicking.
- Do not say that the plane is going to crash or the security might not allow you on the airplane. Even if the security do not catch you, you might start to panic.
- If you have received medication to calm you, make sure to check with your airline and your doctor that it is okay to use when flying. Occasionally if a flight crew or pilot is informed that you are under the influence of drugs (even prescription ones) they may not allow you to fly.

As expected, Vikings linebacker Erin Henderson is on the inactive list for today's game against the 49ers at Mall of America Field.
Henderson, who suffered a concussion in the late stages of last week's 23-20 loss at Indianapolis, was officially ruled out on Friday. Marvin Mitchell will start in place of Henderson at weakside linebacker.
Jasper Brinkley, meanwhile, will inherit Henderson's role alongside Chad Greenway in the nickel defense.
Defensive end D'Aundre Reed was the only other Viking ruled out on the injury report with a calf injury.
The other Vikings inactive today are: receiver Jarius Wright, quarterback McLeod Bethel-Thompson, cornerback Brandon Burton, safety Robert Blanton and offensive lineman Mark Asper.

weather in Nov.
we will be there from Nov 18- 23rd. Will I be able to wear Jeans during the day or will it be to hot ?
Hi twoeeyy,
I am not sure where you live so we may have different ideas of comfortable weather, as I am from FL! We were there one year right after Thanksgiving and you could wear jeans during the day. Keep in mind though I am not used to cold so my view may be skewed.
At night I am sure you will need them as it gets cold. One thing you don't think about because it is the desert but remember it snowed their last December. Strange but true.
I looked at the weather and the typical high in November is 67 and low 43. I know I would be comfortable in jeans in 60 degree weather.
Have a great time. I hear it is very quiet out there right now due to the economy. Look for good deals on show tickets.
Risk equalization forums (http://www.insurance-forums.org/risk-equalization/)
thanks for the info.
Yes even at 70 I would be ' ok ' in jeans as long as there is NO humidity, so it sounds like it will be ok to wear jeans. I know its a ways off but I wanted to know if I needed to ' stock up ' on new ;) warm weather clothes now while they are still in the stores.
I would much prefer to wear jeans anyways. thanks again
We went at Thanksgiving in 2008 and I have to warn you, be prepared for anything and check the weather forecasts right up until the day you leave to get a better idea of what to take. We froze our tushies off a few days (during the day, not to mention the nights!) and wore long johns under our clothes and gloves and coats and hats--it was in the 30s and 40s. A few days it was more mild and we wore sweatsuits and/or sweatshirts and jeans. We did not wear shorts at all on this trip. On one day it got into the 70s and my daughter swam, but it was too cold for me. It was not humid to me in November, but then again I lived in Houston for nine years (I swear the air is wet there) and still live in hot humid Texas, so I am probably a lot more tolerant to the humidity than I am to the cold. Hope that helps.

Welcome to Christmas Island National Park
Alert - 14 May, 2014
Most of the visitor areas in Christmas Island National Park have re-opened, following Cyclone Gillian in March. Some areas – such as The Dales and Dolly Beach - will require longer term repairs before you can enjoy them once again.
For more information, please contact the park.
Island information
Eighty-five square kilometres in size, tropical Christmas Island National Park makes up almost two thirds of the Australian territory of Christmas Island. It lies far out in the Indian Ocean, 2,600 kilometres northwest of Perth and 500 kilometres south of the Indonesian capital, Jakarta.
Rich in biodiversity
As an isolated oceanic island, distant from other land masses, Christmas Island is home to a high proportion of endemic species, some of them endangered.The park protects much of the island's uniquely structured rainforests, two wetlands of international importance, tens of millions of red crabs and a small but environmentally significant marine area.

Nanometrics' CEO Hosts Analyst Day (Transcript)
So we're going to talk about the OCD, we're going to give some nice information in that, on our new acquisition of NANDA with the SPARK platform and inspection and we're also going to talk about wafer-scale packaging.
One part of the agenda is with the [agenda] setup so that there will be a brief opportunity for some direct Q&A technical ones on the presentation right after each presentation, but afterwards my colleagues will be join me at the table and we'll actually do a Q&A session where we can answer the more general ones. So unless you have a very specific question about a slide that you want to answer at that moment I encourage you to use the panel session to dive a little more deeply into the topics of interests.
So I am going to address three things here. One is the secular growth driven by technology changes and industry demands which plays a major role our business opportunity, going to talk about how we're entering new markets through our R&D investments as well as the acquisitions and a little bit about our success in gaining market share through competitive wins, which is clearly a key metric that we measure ourselves by.
So, I'll start with the first one, which I'd say secular growth and technology changes. And we'll talk about the drivers of the industry, most of you here are very familiar with the ongoing shrinks in the technology and the shrinks ultimately drive more mass levels of processing more mass levels and more mass levels in the end turnout to be more process steps, and more process steps in the end turnout to be more wafers being measured and in the end what really matters to us is that, if you have more process steps and you have more wafers being measured and you make more measurements you need more tools.
