Fantastic club, distance and feel is amazing. I have eliminate my other fairway wood and use this because the distance is nearly the same but the trueness of the club is wonderful.
This is the first hybrid I have hit and owned but wow!!!! It is awesome. I plan to hit this club a lot. It hits true and far. Just simply awesome feel and travel.
was in search for a hybrid club, and this felt the best. However, I went back to my long irons due to control issues.
Great Club at a great price. The condition of the club was almost like new. I could not tell if it was ever played. Nike Hybrids look great and they are forgiving. If you mishit you cannot blame the club for that. It does take a little while to get used to these. I certainly hit better than i was hitting before. Also love the adjustable feature. I have not changed the default settings yet. After I play with it for a little longer and get used to it, that is when i may make adjustment. If you are on the fence to buy this, get it and you will not regret it.

Oh God. I am supposed to create, test and debug advanced search queries to properly record my Patriots games? That will take weeks of trial and error to cover all the use cases that change from week to week. I am so sick of this!
If this product was properly designed it would bet smart enough so I could say "Record the Patriots Games". Instead, my DVR decides to record everything BUT the game:
- east coast network feeds that don't work here in la
- shortcuts
- pre-games
- specials
Maybe someone will be kind enough to post an NFL search string. There just aren't enough hours in the day for me to bother with this.
-- pete
Try setting up this KEYWORD SEARCH as an AUTORECORD:
patriots & Show Type, Events
It finds several instances of just next Sunday's Pats @ Jets game, and nothing else. If you want an HD version and DirecTV doesn't default to it (which it usually does), you can add HDTV to the search as follows:
AALL patriots HDTV & Show Type, Events
Use with care,l though, because if there is no HD version available, you'll miss the game completely.
AALL Patriots HD CCHAN 700 750 is how i have it...but didn't hit today's Pats/Chiefs game, since HD isn't in the description. had another search AALL Patriots CCHAN 700 750 to pick & choose manually. funny thing is the Pats/Chiefs was available in HD (i'm taping from the NFL ST HD channel). this seems to be a guide updating problem they should ensure they fix (IMO)
On shows that are HD, I haven't found hd to be a reliable keyword. I think it's safer to use hdtv instead.
Also, I wouldn't worry about using CCHAN. If the first "hit" is on a channel you don't receive, the GAMESEARCH function should find the same game on a channel you do receive.
And if you further qualify the search as Show Type, Event, you should only get the games.
I'd actually attack this from a slightly different direction... I'd use...
AALL PATRIOTS EVENTS & Sports & Football
That way you are sure to get nothing but games, and you don't need to worry about any program that isn't football... I hear you on the east coast feeds... They need to get the stupid East Coast DNS feeds correctly working in the CIG. They are the only ones left that ever cause any havoc with any of my ARSL's... I know Gamesearch has worked every time I have needed it, but I haven't ever needed it on a dns feed. It seems like it should work, but because its network channels, it might give a channel not available response rather than a game not autorized one, so I do not know if it will work... a simple option would be to create 3 searches as follows if you do not want to rely on gamesearch, and want to give some priority over where your unit records...
AALL PATRIOTS EVENTS CCHAN 1 69 & Sports & Football
AALL PATRIOTS EVENTS CCHAN 200 299 & Sports & Football
AALL PATRIOTS EVENTS CCHAN 600 999 & Sports & Football
That would cover any channel in the system that shows football, and excludes any and all DNS feeds...

Primal Passion
Jacyn had always considered himself a pretty normal guy. Little did he know that he couldn't be more wrong. Attacked by a group of gunmen, he suddenly finds himself shot at, kidnapped and chained to a wall. Not exactly the kind of day a normal guy has. All he knows is that all of it is somehow connected to his birth family. Rescued by a tall dangerous looking stranger who claims to have been sent by his long-lost family, Jacyn doesn't know whether to run with him or away from him. Especially when the stranger claims to be able to shift into a jaguar. The last thing Logan wants is to be rounding up some stray jaguar shifter, but he has never refused an order. Even as he tells himself the mission will be a snap, he finds himself having to launch a one-cat rescue party when Jacyn gets himself captured by their enemy. As the two males run for their lives, they find that not only are they having to battle their enemy, but they are also fighting a growing attraction to each other. Passion is the last thing they should be thinking about, however. Because if they don't keep their attention focused on the enemy, they could very well pay the ultimate price.

Getting a new puppy is a fun, crazy, and overwhelming time. You and your puppy are just getting to know each other and you are learning what your new furry friend needs.
If you've got a small puppy that is growing into a small breed dog, you know they won't grow too much and you can afford to splurge on an adjustable dog collar that will fit them for a long time.
If that's the case, you can even consider a personalized leather dog collar - whether you choose Italian leather, Bison leather, or Mini English Bridle leather - your dog will look stylish and be set for the next few years.
If your puppy is a medium or large breed, chances are you'll have to get them a collar just for now until they get a bit bigger. That's why our selection of adjustable braided and MAYA collars are a great option.
Although their price is low, the quality is high - meaning you get a lot of bang for your buck! And you won't be too upset when they grow out of the collar because it was a great value to begin with.
Training your dog on a leash? Try out the MAYA Slip Collar, which helps your pup learn not to pull. Until your puppy gets bigger, you can use a traditional metal dog ID tag on their temporary collar and move it up to their next collar when they're ready.
Although our office dogs, River and Syrus, definitely don't fall into the small dog collar category, that doesn't mean dogIDs doesn't understand the collar needs of the smaller dog breeds!
We know that your little pooch needs a collar that's durable enough for all of her energy, but light enough so she isn't weighed down.
From braided, hand-sewn, waterproof or leather dog collars - dogIDs has a great variety of dog collars for small dogs.
We're proud of the wide variety of quality options we have at dogIDs for personalized small dog and puppy collars. Our personalized small collar options are just as high quality as their larger counterparts, but are made with lighter hardware and thinner material so that they can easily fit small dog breeds.
Our trademark ScruffTag collar comes in a smaller dog version as well! Many of these collars have an engraved nameplate or buckle that is built into the collar, so there are no jingling tags and you don't ever have to worry about your puppy or small dog being without identification.
Small dogs and puppies can have a lot of energy, so eliminating that jingling tag noise is a huge plus, not to mention all laser-engraved collars are guaranteed for the life of your pet. We also offer a variety of embroidered small dog and puppy collar options, including one with a reflective strip to keeping your dog safe at night!
Sizing your puppy for future growth can be tricky. If you're having trouble deciding on a size for your small dog or puppy collar, just contact our experienced Customer Service Team.
They work with customers every day and have professional expertise to help you decide what collar and size will be the best fit for you and your dog. They can also estimate your dog's eventual neck size or find the best solution for your small dog.
At dogIDs, pets and their owners are the most important aspect of our business. We want to sell products that are useful, durable and stylish.
We take our customer's suggestions and needs very seriously. Any questions or comments, please contact our customer service team at 800-720-8247 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

gratitude Journal
Yesterday was comedy of errors, but in the end, all worked out and I'm grateful for a lot of it.
1) Thank you kind person who found my iPhone in the Rite Aid parking lot and brought it into the store in belief that I would return. I did.
2) Thank you MobileMe, an extra feature I bought when I purchased it my Mac because I thought it would make it easier to move my info from one laptop to another. I had thought you were a big waste of money. Who knew that "Find your iPhone" GPS feature would become my best friend and I will renew to you next year just for that.
3) Thank you husband for pulling me out of the way of a car backing up in a parking lot. I was 4 inches away from a broken leg or who knows what. I'm sorry I made the angry face at you first because I didn't know what you were doing and I thought you were just yanking me because I was walking slow.
4) Thank you older gentleman stranger for holding the door open for me when I was rushing in and wishing me a Merry Christmas.
5) Thank you to every person I asked "Have you seen my iPhone?" for not telling me "You should take better care of your things."
6) Thank you family for being honest with me and making my new year's resolution that is, "Kelli will take better care of her things."
7) Thank you strangers for putting colorful lights on your homes. When we drove to a local production of the Nutcracker last night, it made our evening.
8) Thank you gray-bearded man at the market for wrapping two bottles of wine in newspaper and saying, "And after you get home, you'll have reading material if you can't sleep."
9) Thank you sweet artists who live your life quietly, volunteering to bring art to a larger world.
10) Thank you Marilyn for adding white lights of peace signs to your Christmas decorations. When I drive off the ferry on the way home, I always see them glowing.

Opening Day? [ad]
Milwaukee Brewers Tickets March 23rd, 2011
Are you a sucker like me who missed out on Opening Day tickets and now find yourself forced to buy tickets off of the secondary market? Doesn't it suck? I mean, most of the people at the game aren't even going for their love of the Brewers. They're going to drink. Most of them won't even make it in for the first inning. Hell, I know some people are going just because they heard the Packers are going to be there. What the hell is that all about? In many ways Opening Day is a lot like New Year's Eve aka amateur night. People like us go to bars year round, but all the people who don't come out on New Year's Eve and act like idiots. WOOOO! The calendar year has changed by one! We are all one step closer to death! YAY! Who gives a crap? Act like an adult. (Says the guy who did a keg stand in his boxers.) Still, Opening Day holds a certain allure and I don't want to miss it. It's a fun time when the Brewers play their first game at home and I've been for the past few years. I want to go again.
So, the secondary market it is. For pretty much every game for the rest of the season I can end up going to the game for less than face value, but for this one I have to pay over market value for tickets. What to do? Read the rest of this entry »

Pope's resignation surprises Joliet-area church officials
By Bob Okon firstname.lastname@example.com February 11, 2013 11:12AM

Bishop R. Daniel Conlon's statement
Pope Benedict XVI's decision to resign comes as a surprise to all of us. Yet, it is consistent with the humble disposition that I have come to recognize in him, both in my brief personal encounters with him and in his deportment generally as earthly shepherd of the Church. He recognized that he no longer had the physical gifts necessary to carry out an office that becomes increasingly demanding.
The Holy Father has been a true blessing to us. He has been able to express the truths of faith in ways that are comprehensible for our times. He has been a steady and calm presence in the face of tumult in the world. He has persevered in Blessed John Paul II's determination to confront the scandal of child abuse in the Church.
Because the Church was founded by Christ and lives by the Holy Spirit, we have no reason to worry about the future. The College of Cardinals will be convened a few days after Feb. 28 and elect a new Bishop of Rome in accord with exiting norms. Our task, as members of the Body of Christ, is to seek the guidance and strength of the Holy Spirit for the cardinals and to pray for a peaceful future for Pope Benedict.

Pope Benedict XVI's resignation may have set a precedent that will affect future popes, a former Joliet bishop said.
The reaction among Catholics in Joliet, including the current bishop, ranged from surprised to stunned.
"Like everyone else, I was surprised," Bishop Emeritus Joseph Imesch said Monday. "At the same time, I understand it. That's a job for a young, healthy man."
Imesch retired as bishop of the Diocese of Joliet in 2006 at age 75, which is mandatory retirement age for bishops. Pope Benedict is 85.
Popes, however, traditionally serve for life. The tradition is so strong that it's been nearly 600 years since a pope has resigned the office.
Maybe it won't be so long until the next time.
"I think he (Pope Benedict) has set a great precedent," Imesch said. "At the same time, it may make it difficult for future popes."
As future popes age, Imesch speculated, people may begin to ask the question: "Why doesn't he resign?"
Bishop R. Daniel Conlon was not available for an interview Monday. But he issued a statement noting the demands popes face on the job.
"Pope Benedict XVI's decision to resign comes as a surprise to all of us," Conlon said. But, the bishop added, "He recognized that he no longer had the physical gifts necessary to carry out an office that becomes increasingly demanding."
"I was stunned," Tom Hare said as he visited St. Anthony's Church in downtown Joliet to check the Ash Wednesday schedule. "Usually, they stay in there until they die."
Hare said it was sad Pope Benedict would have to resign because of failing health. But he also appreciated the pope's ability to recognize his limitations.
Max Thurner, a student at the University of St. Francis, said it was "a critical decision" for a pope to resign rather than follow the tradition of staying for life.
But, Thurner said, "I think it's a good thing he stepped down because if you're not able to do the job, or follow your calling, as a pope, it's good that he's passing it on to someone else."
Still, Thurner said, "It's kind of surprising that he actually did resign since it hasn't happened in 600 years."
A lot has changed in six centuries, including the average expected life span of a human being. That goes for popes, too, who may be regarded as infallible on matters in the Catholic church but are not considered immune to the consequences of aging.
Noted Imesch, "In the past, people did not live this long."

Aaron Rodgers or not, Bears will take the victory

- Bears 27, Packers 20: Final boxscore, stats
- Aaron Rodgers' mustache - creepy or not?
- GRADING THE BEARS: Week 9 vs. Packers

Updated: November 5, 2013 1:24PM
GREEN BAY – If you were a Bears fan brave enough to sit inside Lambeau Field on Monday, I'm guessing you expected to spend most of the night in mid-flinch. I'd further speculate that your concerns had less to do with Packers fans in mid-noogie and more to do with the possibility of Bears defenders in mid-embarrassment.
Aaron Rodgers versus a leaky Bears' defense was not going to end well for the visitors from Chicago. Everybody knew that. Even the truest true believers in this beat-up, patched-together defense must have known it.
The only question was how bad it would be. If that sounds cruel or ghoulish, sorry. The NFL is a world devoid of mercy. The Bears were starting two rookie linebackers, Jon Bostic and Khaseem Greene, and Greene was making his first NFL start. Did we mention they were playing against Rodgers, a former NFL and Super Bowl most valuable player? Chum meet shark.
Yeah, well, about that.
Rodgers left the game with a left shoulder injury in the first quarter, thanks to a sack by defensive end Shea McClellin. He did not come back. It was shocking for no other reason than it didn't seem possible the Bears' defense could hurt anybody. This was opportunity knocking and a gift from above all wrapped into one cliche.
"You obviously understand the nature of the game and the impact that (Rodgers) has on the game,'' Bears quarterback Josh McCown said. "When that player's not on the field, your odds of winning probably increase.''
Probably, as in absolutely.
Seneca Wallace, who hadn't played since 2011, took Rodgers' place. It should have meant that the Bears and the Packers were even, what with McCown filling in for the injured Jay Cutler.
But McCown was great Monday night. That's an unqualified "great'' too. He made every throw he needed to make. He avoided throws that put his team at risk. He was smart and good, all with a howling Lambeau Field wishing him ill will.
"He just stayed in the pocket, calm and cool as a summer's day,'' tackle Jordan Mills said.
So McCown and Wallace even? Not even close. The Bears beat the Packers 27-20 because one backup was a lot better than the other. That's it. There is no bigger meaning to the game. The Bears' run defense is no better than when it started the night, and the team still has a lot to overcome.
But a victory is a victory. There is no asterisk denoting Rodgers' absence. And the Bears' defense had enough to stop Wallace and the Packers on a final drive.
McCown completed 22 of 41 passes for 272 yards and two touchdowns. Wallace, with 114 passing yards, was a footnote.
There will still be unsettling memories of Eddie Lacy and James Starks running through Bears' defenders all night. Lacy had first-quarter runs of 18 and eight yards in which he carried tacklers with him like luggage. In the third quarter, the rookie had a 56-yard run with nothing to carry except the ball.
Starks took a 32-yard touchdown run in the first quarter that was notable for how discombobulated the Bears' defense looked on that one play. He didn't get touched until he got to the secondary. That's not supposed to happen in the NFL.
The best thing the Bears had going for them was the Packers' insistence on passing the ball in the second half, even though Lacy (150 yards) was having so much success running the ball. I thought they were supposed to be the smart team.
There were signs of life out of the Bears' defensive line. Julius Peppers had an interception and a sack. McClellin had three sacks, none more important than his takedown and removal of Rodgers. It was huge for someone who has been almost invisible since the Bears drafted him in the first round last year. And it was huge for a defensive line that came into the game with four sacks all season. It left with five more.
"We definitely felt some pressure on us,'' McClellin said. "We needed a game like this where we kind of stepped up.''
I wouldn't be surprised if several Bears shed a tear or two of joy at the sight of Rodgers leaving the field and their field of vision. It made all the difference Monday night. With him, the Packers win, no matter how well McCown plays. Without him, there was Seneca Wallace and a Bears' victory.

This is a review of packaging more than it is a process or product, but I have to tell you as a new mom (again), I love the idea of Gator Eggs. They're baby food sized!
Buying small avocados at the store is a scary prospect where I live. Most of them are pretty abused once they get to retail, so it's handy to have several servings right there ready to cut, without the hassle of digging through a display.
I think the packaging is a cute concept that will get some attention and give retailers a fun way to display avocados. Ike and I enjoyed the avocados, too. I'm sure baby Uli would have, too, but he's not ready for solids just yet.

2013 and earlier Chevrolet Equinox Lease Questions
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hey phil56. GMAC's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2008 Chevrolet Equinox AWD with 12,000 miles per year are 6.1% and 52%, respectively. If you haven't leased your Equinox yet, you're in luck. General Motors just introduced a $1,000 President's Day bonus cash incentive on it that's good through the end of the month. You can use this cash to reduce the capitalized cost of your lease.
Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi sarasmiles. Vehicles' lease payments are made up of two main parts, the interest portion and the depreciation portion. When you signed the lease on your Equinox, GMAC used an estimate called a residual value to calculate how much depreciation you would have to pay for over the lift of your lease. The remainder of your vehicle's value that is not added to the depreciation portion of your lease payment is its end of term purchase option price. As you have seen, vehicles' lease-end purchase option prices are often higher than what vehicles are worth in the real world. This is actually a good think because it means that you paid for less depreciation over the life of your lease than your vehicle actually experienced, saving you money. The problem is, unless GMAC is willing to lower your vehicle's end-of-term purchase option price, it doesn't make sense to buy your truck. Place a call directly to GMAC a month or two prior to the scheduled end of your lease and see if they will be willing to negotiate your Equinox's purchase price. If you don't have any luck with your initial contact, try working your way up the ladder to a manager. If GMAC is willing to lower your truck's price to around what it is worth in the real world right now, you may want to consider buying it. If not, just walk away.

soccer14 Posts: 2I'm in Syracuse, NY. My lease is up in September. I just got a call for early release out of my lease. I have a 2006 Equinox LS 12,300 miles AWD. The purchase price to buy this case is 16624.69 (according the GMAC) - the dealership is telling me they will sell it to me for 14980.00 and my payments would be 259 a month. I'm not sure I understand all this. Is this a good deal for me??
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi claufenb. General Motors usually offers some sort of early lease termination program, but it rarely lets lessees out of their vehicles more than three months prior to their scheduled end dates. You're still nine months out, so I have a feeling that you are going to have to wait until you are closer to your scheduled end date to get something new.

leesah71 Posts: 1You can take over my existing lease. I love the car but with our move to Hawaii cannot afford the payments any longer. Lease is with GMAC and terms are $450.90 per month and expires 12/2009. I used to drive a lot for the company I used to work for so I purchased extra miles. It allows 18,000 miles per year but since moving to Hawaii a year ago, only have 33,000 miles on it now. It's been an awesome car and I love it and hate to have to give it up. If interest, let me know. We can arrange shipping.

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi soccer14. In order to determine whether it would be a good idea to purchase your leased Equinox, you need to compare the price that you were quoted for it to what it is currently worth on the open market. There's no reason to pay more for your truck than someone off the street would have to pay for a similar one. You should be able to get an idea of how much this truck is worth right now by visiting the Edmunds.com Used Car Appraiser.
If you determine that this is an attractive selling price, then turn your attention to how you will pay for it. If you want to finance, pay attention to the interest rate that you are being charged, not the monthly payment. The lower the interest rate is, the lower your payment will be. It's usually a good idea to get pre-approved to finance any vehicle that you want to purchase prior to discussing financing with dealers. Doing so serves two purposes. It gives you an idea of what sort of interest rate you qualify for and it often motivates dealers to try to beat the rate that you are pre-approved at.

wallyuwl Posts: 166If there are are special lease rates (an "incentive" rate) it will be listed on Edmunds. I just bought a new 2010, and as of the July incentives there were no special lease rates. There was just the Conquest Cash, military cash, and GMAC financing (a horrible 6.9%, but it is a new model - I got 5% locally). The August incentives will be out soon, but I doubt there will be anything for special lease offers.
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi timmboj. General Motors' financial problems forced it to pull the plug on leasing for a while, but it has finally reintroduced it on select models...including the 2010 Equinox. Its lease program on this truck varies by region. In a few states it is promoting a special lease through US Bank with a special rate of 4.56% for 36 to 39 months. In most states it is running a special lease through GMAC featuring a lease rate of 3.0% again for 36 to 39 months.
The US Bank program has $280 lease cash available through it, but there is no lease cash available on GMAC leases.

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi timmboj. Lease cash is essentially like consumer cash that is available on leases. You should take it into account when negotiating the selling price of the truck that you want to lease.
That's a good question about the tax credit. It might apply to leased vehicles, but they technically are in the bank's name not yours. Hmmmm, I think that an accountant would be more qualified than myself to answer that one. The FAQ section for this program (link) on the IRS site doesn't even address this issue.

ellery8 Posts: 2Hi,
There is an article on GM getting back into leasing dated Aug 10th or 11th byTim Higins of the Detroit Free Press. The 2010 Equinox was listed amoung the models.
I test drove a 2010 4cyl AWD LT1 and think they have a real winner if it holds up in reliability and quality. I have GM Card money that I would like to apply to an Equinox lease if it is attractive. The 2010 Equinox competes against the Honda CR-V and Toyota Rav-4 which have attractive leases recently. If GM puts out an attractiive lease I think they can convert the Honda and Toyota customers if the Equinox is as good as it appears.

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515You are correct, rienthusiast. It wasn't easy to find, but I was able to get a hold of GMAC's residual values for this vehicle. Its current 36 month, 15,000 mile per year resid for the 2010 Chevrolet Equinox varies from 40% to 44%, depending upon what trim level you get. If you describe the exact Equinox that you're interested in, I will gladly tell you what the exact resid is for that trim level.
The last time that I checked, GMAC added 3% to its 15,000 mile per year residual values for leases with only 12,000 miles per year.

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi wanny. Let's work up a lease payment on this truck and see what we come up with. According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2010 Chevrolet Equinox LT1 AWD that has an MSRP of $26,500 and a selling price of $24,500 through GMAC this month for 36 months with 12,000 miles per year, your zero down, pre-tax monthly payment would be around $391.

slem1842 Posts: 1Hello Car Man,
I am interested in leasing a 2010 Chevy Equinox LT2 FWD with Rear DVD Entertainment. I read your earlier posts referencing lease rates (In most states it is running a special lease through GMAC featuring a lease rate of 3.0% again for 36 to 39 months.) and residuals (40%-44% depending on trim line). I was wondering if the lease rates have changed for September and what the residual would be for the LT2? I could potentially be interested in leasing for 36 - 48 months and definitely need 15,000 miles.
Thank you,
James -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hello James. GMAC's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2010 Chevrolet Equinox LT2 FWD with 15,000 miles per year are 2.25% and 41%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 48 month lease are 2.55% and 33%.

When negotiating your lease on this truck, make sure to take advantage of the $400 cash incentive that is currently available on leases of it through GMAC.

The Hunting bullet line is proving to be the most lethal big game hunting bullets available. All of Berger's Hunting bullets are made in the VLD design. The VLD design incorporates a sharp nose that allows the bullet to penetrate 2" to 3" before it starts to expand. After the bullet starts to expand it will shed 40% to 85% of its weight as shrapnel into the surrounding tissue (internal organ). The combination between the shrapnel and the hydrostatic shock produces a massive wound cavity within the vital area (internal organs) that will be 13" to 15" long. This massive wound cavity results in the animal dropping fast since most go into shock after such a tremendous blow. Those animals that don't go down immediately will soon succumb to blood pressure loss and/or organ failure producing a quick ethical kill. These bullets don't poke through like an arrow (high weight retention, deep penetration bullets) but instead dump their energy where it is most effective, inside the animal. Using the Berger VLD will result in an animal that goes down fast so you can enjoy the results of your hunt without having to track the wounded animal after the shot. You owe it to yourself to see how accurate and deadly the Berger Hunting VLD will be on your next hunt.
The VLD bullet design is a combination of two very specific features. The first is a boat tail which is common on long and heavy bullets. The second and most important design feature is the long secant ogive. It is this ogive shape that allows the bullet to experience less drag as it flies to the target. This reduced drag is how the VLD shoots flatter and is less affected by wind (less drift) than other bullets. Reduced drag also translates into higher retained velocity. These are important results if you want your bullet to help improve your accuracy by requiring less sight adjustments when conditions change.Customers who bought this item also purchased

"We are so blessed that our home is wonderfully designed and built by the loving kindness of all of you," Kazy said to the smiling faces during Tuesday's home dedication. "Thank you for your dedication in making this house a home. It wouldn't have been possible without each and every one of you."
Mars employees began work on the property almost three months ago. The project was a part of the company's "M'Prove" America program. Fans and employees alike were encouraged to donate time and money to Habitat sites across the country.
More than 90 employees showed up over the course of 10 volunteer workdays.
Site Director Joe Burton said the project has been just as beneficial for Mars workers as it has been for the Kazy family.
"[Employees] took away something very special," Burton said, "a special activity they share with their friends and family, and it is just a thrill we were able to be a part of this."
The Kazy home is the first rehabilitated house attempted by the local Habitat.
Board President Tommy Wright said it took a lot of individuals coming together to accomplish the task.
"Everyone plays their own little part. No part is too small. No part is too big," Wright said. "It's bigger than any one person. We are all very pleased by any leadership you have been able to provide."
Volunteer services manager Anna Carmichael shared her gratitude with those who put in the time, sweat and money.
"We just want to specifically say thank you so much," Carmichael said. "And I think I speak for all of us when I say you have certainly made a difference in the community. "
Gathered guests took a moment to repeat a litany over the home.
Board member Andy Anderson led the words of dedication. He said the litany was a sign of goodwill, work and sharing.
"Because this home was made possible through the generosity of so many people — the volunteers, the donors of labor and materials and the gifts of money," Anderson read.
His remarks were met by a collective response: "We dedicate this home."
A special prayer was given prior to the passing over of the keys.
Bob Zwarych of Joy Christian Fellowship church handed Kazy a Bible before bowing his head.
"We thank you for this day of celebration for Crystal and Victoria, Lord. I know she looks to you as her provider and I know you will use Crystal and you will use Victoria to make this street shine brighter for the Kingdom of God," Zwarych said. "May this home be filled with joy and laughter and the peace of Christ."
Kazy said the process has taught her patience. She has put in her sweat equity, as per her agreement with Habitat, throughout the building process. Seeing the house so close to completion has made her eager for the final touches. The side paneling, flooring and internal walls should be constructed within a month.
Kazy expressed her desire to have the house fully constructed by Christmas — and decorated with a Christmas tree.
"Before our application even had time to be considered, Victoria and I stood together in faith believing that we already received our home," Kazy said. "We give praise to our heavenly father for his faithfulness that brought us here today."
Guests were invited to tour the home following the dedication.

A Personal Note from Sherri "20 Year Milestone"
This past week marked a big milestone in Sherris Great Island Adventure so I feel its worth mentioning to you. It was 20 years ago this past week that I decided to make the journey from Dallas to Cozumel in a cute little beach buggy of a car: my 1992 GEO Tracker ~ Canary Yellow with Pink stripes and a soft top for taking off later to catch rays at the beach.
Having driven a 7 Series BMW for years in Dallas, I still fell in love with the GEO the minute I drove it off the lot back in 1994. Sitting way up high and bouncing down the highway care free was somehow more appealing to me at the moment than high performance. Being single it was difficult for me to justify owning 2 cars but I remember telling my parents that this GEO was the ultimate diver beach buggy that suited my new island life in Cozumel. I also recall them practically fainting as I told them I was going to DRIVE the GEO through Mexico and over to the island. I blamed it all on a guy named Mike Thompson who back then, was also from Dallas and living on the island. There were nothing but crappy rust buckets available for purchase in Cozumel back then along with stories of how it just couldnt be done ~ driving a car all the way from Texas to Cozumel. That alone was motivation for a Texas guy like Mike to make the trip. Mike bought an olive green jeep, loaded it up with beer (I would imagine from what I recall of the fine partying Mike!) and struck out on the journey from Dallas to Cozumel. He made it safely with beer to spare in about 5 days.
My parents were not impressed nor convinced by Mikes Mexico travel adventure. But in their always loving way, they found it in their hearts to be as supportive as possible of my life adventures. I had walked a pretty safe path in my life up to that point and now it was as if I was making a road where there was none. My dad asked one of his friends, David Chavez to make the trip with me and keep his baby safe through the interior of Mexico where roads were sparse, signs non-existent and very few Mexicans who had ventured beyond the outskirts of their own pueblo to know which way to go to get to the Caribbean. You can read the rest of the story in my book of adventures some day but essentially David did all of the drinking and driving and I did all of the worrying and navigating via an ancient map that we ended up using as emergency toilet paper along the way.
So this is a big SALUTE AND HUG not only to Mike who blazed the trail from Dallas for the rest of us but also to David and my sweet yellow GEO that I still drive today here on the island! It had 17,500 miles on it as we arrived here to the island June 16, 1994 and right now it has 97,500 miles on it. So I guess you could say Ive been driving in circles for 80,000 miles now! Its really a good thing that GEO cant speak ~ my oh my what stories it could tell. LOL!!
And what an amazing GIRL car the GEO has been! I change the oil regularly, fill it up with gas and keep air in the tires and it simply never fails me! We can only wish for all other things in our lives to be so hassle free! Here are the THEN and NOW pics of my aging GEO with its original paint job and a few extra stickers on it! I'm a bit sentimental about it...?can you tell?!! Thats David there too who helped ensure a most excellent beginning to Sherris Great Island Adventure!

I just wanted to let you know we really enjoyed our experience with the turtle salvation program this week. It was an amazing evening I will never forget. I will be sure to share the info with my local dive shops and SCUBA club when I return. I know that many others would love to participate and support the turtles.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Pete!
Facts about Pete
- Breed: Labrador Retriever
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Adult
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
Pete's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
Meet Sweet Pete !!, This good ole' country boy is estimated to be 7 years old. He is fully vetted, heart worm negative, and walks well on a leash. He is left alone in the house all day and he doesn't mess with anything. He was found as a stray and no owner was ever found. He is being fostered by a college student who is getting ready to graduate and cant take Pete with him. Pete is a lovable boy who knows basic commands and he passed his temperament test with flying colors. He does well with other dogs, but we are not sure about cats or children. Pete is just a big ole baby how just wants to be with his human. He has the dreamiest brown eyes and he smiles all the time.If you can give Pete a nice place for his retirement years, please email email@example.com for info and an application.
Pete is fostered in Knoxville TN
Other Pets at Southern ROOTS Rescue Inc. - NY Chapter
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Pete, a Spring Valley Labrador Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever for sale in Spring Valley, or seeking a Labrador Retriever dog from a breeder in Spring Valley.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Spring Valley already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Spring Valley breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Spring Valley paves the way for another one to be saved.

I'm currently thinking of asking FFG if they would want to sponsor a project to convert Twilight Imperium onto a PC platform, with internet community and network play.
What is your opinion.. would you buy it if it cost… say.. 10-15€?
Just wanted to update those who were following the project on here that we recently released our website/forums and are looking for feedback on our concepts, as well as any design tweaks that people want to see for the final release.
This started as a fan-made labor of love, and we want to keep it that way! While the game is not an exact like TI3, it contains almost all of the mechanics, as well as some flavors of house rules and unique elements that would only be possible in a video game format.
That being said, here's the site:
Check out some of the content we've put up, and leave any feedback you have in the forums. See you there!

National Initiative Aimes to Double Number of Students Studying Abroad by 2020 |
Continuing its commitment to present students with global opportunities, Valparaiso University has joined the Institute of International Education's (IIE) Generation Study Abroad initiative. Valpo is already a member of the IIE network, and this initiative aligns closely with key University priorities. "Generation Study Abroad is a wonderful opportunity for Valpo as we seek to increase the number of students who study abroad," Julie Maddox, director of Study Abroad programs, said. "What's really interesting about the initiative is that it's a commitment by all these different universities to come together to make a difference in the lives of students and in education." According to a press release from IIE, Generation Study Abroad is a five-year initiative that brings leaders in education, business, and governments together to double the number of United States college students studying abroad. Each university that commits itself to the program must make a pledge to increase the number of their students who study abroad as well as take actions to develop new and expanded activities that will enable more students to study abroad. Read the full article here on Valpo joining the Generation Study Abroad Initiative! |

"In the past 10 Years, 26 Valpo Students and Alumni Have Received Prestigious Fulbright Awards. Valparaiso University has achieved recognition from the United States Department of State as one of the colleges and universities that produced the most 2013-2014 Fulbright United States students.

Federal inspectors have begun checking cantaloupe packing operations, with the first inspection at an unnamed facility in Florida.
Michelle Danyluk, food safety researcher and assistant professor at the University of Florida, discussed the inspection May 9 during a Web seminar sponsored by the Eastern Cantaloupe Growers Association and the Georgia Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association.
She said the owner was notified May 3 and the inspectors were at the facility on May 6 and 8.
The inspections are in response to the deadly multistate outbreaks linked to cantaloupe in 2011 and 2012, according to a letter posted Feb. 25 by the Food and Drug Administration. Presenters for the seminar said they believe the agency will only be testing for listeria.
FDA officials said May 9 they could not identify what facilities had been inspected. They plan about 50 packinghouse visits this year.
"State officials will be notified in advance of the inspections and will be invited to join," said FDA spokeswoman Catherine McDermott. "Environmental sampling will be done during the course of the inspection visits, but the number of swabs is determined by factors such as the type and size of the operation."
McDermott said FDA investigators will complete a questionnaire based on observations and discussions with the responsible parties at the facility, but a copy of the questionaire "is not publically available at this time."
The agency will collect cantaloupes from each operation for testing, McDermott said.
Danyluk and Beth Bland Oleson of the Georgia Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association said test results would likely take at least two weeks.
"Some of our members have reported that retailers have said not to ship them any fruit packed while FDA was present and collecting samples until they get an all clear," Oleson said.
Danyluk recommended packinghouses consider holding fruit regardless of customer demands to avoid possible recalls in the event of positive test results. She also recommended packers reduce the amount of fruit they run while FDA inspectors are present.
"You might want to consider running only half of what you would normally pack," she said.
Danyluk also suggested packers reduce volumes of fruit stored in coolers prior to an FDA visit.
Georgia officials expect three to eight inspections, Oleson said. Danyluk said she was told North Carolina officials are expecting three inspections.

Stallman said the bill balances security and labor needs.
"With less time and resources wasted locking up lettuce harvesters, the focus can shift to where it properly belongs: keeping those with criminal intentions out of our country," he said.
Stallman said the bureau looks forward to working with House members to pass responsible immigration reform legislation that includes an earned adjustment for experienced undocumented agricultural workers and a new, flexible guest worker program.
Agricultural labor provisions
Current undocumented farmworkers will be eligible to obtain legal status through a new Blue Card program if they choose to remain working in agriculture.
Ag workers who can document working in U.S. agriculture for a minimum of 100 workdays or 575 hours before Dec, 31, 2012, are eligible for Blue Card status.
After a minimum of five years, workers who fulfill their Blue Card work requirements in U.S. agriculture will become eligible to apply for a Green Card, providing that they have no outstanding taxes, no convictions and pay a fine.
A new agricultural guest worker program will be established, with two work options:
- An "at will" option will allow workers to enter the country for a specific job offer from an authorized agricultural employer, under a three-year visa. Employees will then be able to move within the country, working at will for any other authorized agricultural employer during that time. Employers must provide housing or a housing allowance to these workers.
- A"contract-based" option will allow workers to enter the country to accept a specific contract for a specific amount of work from an authorized employer. This will also provide for a three-year visa and require employers to provide housing or a housing allowance.
All guest workers will be paid an agreed-upon wage under the terms of this agreement.
There is a visa cap for the first five years of the program while current workers are participating in the Blue Card program. The secretary of agriculture has the authority to modify that cap if circumstances in agricultural labor require.
The new program will be administered by the Department of Agriculture.

The Half-Angle Identities - Concept
The half angle identities come from the power reduction formulas using the key substitution alpha=theta/2 twice, once on the left and right sides of the equation. With half angle identies, on the left side, this yields (after a square root) cos(theta/2) or sin(theta/2); on the right side cos(2theta) becomes cos( ) because 2(1/2)=1. For a problem like sin(pi/12), remember that theta/2=pi/12, or theta=pi/6, when substituting into the identity.
I want to use the power reduction formulas to derive the half angle formulas. Recall the power reduction formulas cosine squared alpha equals 1 plus cosine 2 alpha over 2 and sine squared alpha equals 1 minus cosine 2 alpha over 2.
Now the way to derive the half angle formulas is to make the substitution alpha equals theta over 2. Now if I make that substitution, this becomes cosine squared theta over 2 equals 1 plus cosine theta over 2. All I have to do is extract square roots and I get cosine of theta over 2 is plus or minus the square root of 1 plus cosine theta over 2. Now with the plus or minus the plus or minus stays in the identity. The way we determine the sine of the final answer is we have to draw a unit circle and determine what quadrant we're in, so there's little bit of work involved but we can't say in the formula whether or not we're going to get a positive or negative answer.
Now similarly we make the same substitution alpha becomes theta over 2 in the sine squared identity and we get 1 minus cosine theta over 2 and here again we extract the square root and so we get sine of theta over 2 is plus or minus the square root of 1 minus cosine theta over 2.
These are the half angle identities sine of theta over 2 plus or minus the square root of 1 minus cosine theta over 2 and the cosine half angle identity which is identical except the minus becomes a plus.
