The Micro View
by Chris Small
In the previous report, "The Macro View", we dealt with the BIG picture, what the INTERNET could do for you. This week we are going to look at what YOU can do on the Internet. You may remember that you were left with these instructions...
"1) Learn as much as you possibly can. But don't let this slow down your involvement
"2) Create or find a product or service that you can promote wholeheartedly.
"3) Jump in. Get yourself a solid Internet presence.
"4) Get busy! Market that product.
"Sounds rather simple doesn't it. In fact it requires a lot of effort, but the steps are simple enough and the rewards are certainly worth it."
This week we are going to look into these four points in detail.
We can never know too much about marketing on the Web. If you get to the point where you think you've learned it all, just wait a couple of days and the rules of the Web will have changed sufficiently that you will need to relearn what you thought you already knew.
The basics can be learned by doing a lot of surfing and employing the search engines. Do a search using the words Internet Basics, marketing, Web knowledge, etc. An even better approach is to search specifically for the area of your interest.
The public school systems offer great night school programs that will teach you not only the basics but more advanced subjects on marketing, web design, advertising, html, scripts, forms, graphics, and much, much more. These courses are often priced quite reasonably and in some cases will even give you credits toward further education.
You can also get a good education in what's 'working on the Web' right now by subscribing to some of the thousands and thousands of ezines that are out there. Many of these electronic newsletters (like this one) offer tons of valuable information for FREE. You are also likely to see advertisements for the latest and greatest innovations in marketing. That's okay too. You want to stay abreast of what's happening.
I must have subscribed to 50 or more ezines. While I certainly can't read them all I like to scan through them regularly to see what's new and to pick up on some marketing advice.
Find a mentor or buddy who won't mind helping you out in your efforts. These days many of the domain providers or their representatives offer ongoing assistance to their customers. This is just good marketing sense. Chat rooms and newsgroups are also a great way to tap into other people's knowledge. Joining an affiliate program can also give you the unexpected benefit of great marketing advice that can be universally applied.
There are certain subjects that you may have to reach into your pocketbook to acquire specific knowledge on. I offer two suggestions regarding this 1) be careful, there are a lot of sharks out there, and 2) don't be afraid to spend a little money to save you a lot of time in learning. This may seem slightly contradictory but what it really means is; if you need to know something and you've found a reputable source with whom you are comfortable then it does make sense.
It's a very good idea to have a keen interest in what ever it is that you are selling. It's really not advisable to jump into some affiliate program simply because of the promise of riches. All of the great marketers enjoyed what they were doing long before they achieved noteworthy success.
The best product or service to offer is one of your own creation or at least one that you personally had a hand in developing. If you are not able to do this then take the program that you are with and make it personal to you. Try to be unique. Find a niche area that most people are not already covering.
Now I may be exaggerating slightly but not much. My very first webpage address was 48 characters long. Yes, the page was FREE, but the results reflected that too (one $5.00 sale). Theyre okay for personal pages and fooling around, but not if you want to be taken seriously. You really must acquire your own domain. No ifs, ands or buts about it!
Once you have; decided on a product or service, reserved the site name with InterNic, and made your best deal on domain space, youre ready to start marketing. The next order of business is to start the design of the site. Should you do it yourself or hire a professional? This is a tough question to answer. Some people have a natural artistic inclination, some don't. Some budgets don't allow for anything but doing it yourself. In that case the decision is simple.
I am a big believer in having the best possible first impression. You might consider hiring a professional to do the default page and create a template for further pages that you will make on your own. That being said, there is also a huge feeling of satisfaction in doing the job yourself from scratch.
My personal experience included learning how and doing it all myself in the beginning when I could afford the time, and later hiring a professional (who did a fabulous job), after my time became better spent focusing on the marketing.
Another absolute necessity for the serious web marketer is to publish an opt-in newsletter or ezine. This is how you stay in touch with your prospects and of course remind them to come back to your site. It could be something as elementary as alerting people to changes on your site or simple price updates. Or you could produce a full blown Electronic magaZINE. Again, you should be subscribing to other ezines for ideas and information.
Sidenote Always seek out and obtain an authors permission before using all or part of their work. Plagiarism does not pay!
A lot of EZINES offer the reader information of great value for FREE. This accomplishes two things.
1) It establishes you as an expert, or at least a source of expert information.
2) It encourages the subscriber to keep reading your ezine regularly. Of course when they read the information they can't help but see the ads for your products or services.
Many successful ezine publishers will accept paid for ads from related non competing businesses. This can add a very nice profit center to your online business. A popular variation of this is to swap ezine ads with your competition. This will increase your exposure to other readers who may not have found your site otherwise.
"It's kind of fun to do the impossible." Walt Disney
The first requisite for success is the ability to apply your physical and mental energies to one problem incessantly without growing weary. --Thomas A. Edison
The number one priority above all else is to get traffic. You can have the prettiest site, the best ezine, the most education, and the most fantastic product on the Internet, but it will gain you nothing if people don't get exposed to it. Build it and they will come might work in the movies, but on the Internet you need TRAFFIC!
There are all kinds of traffic generators available to you. Some of them include
Search Engines
Submission Services
Banner Exchangers
Link Exchanges
Free For All (FFA) Links Pages
Classified Ads - Free and paid for
Reminder Services
Free Electronic PostCards
Contest Pages
Free E-book Download Pages
Free Software Download Pages
Free Graphic Download Pages
You probably get the idea. Give something of value for FREE and people WILL come. I use many of the above tools and have achieved excellent results from them. But the absolute best three tools for me have been
Ezine Ad Swaps
Banner Advertising
Article Submissions
If you would like further information on any of these just send me an email.
There are many more aspects to managing a successful Internet presence and we will discuss them in future issues. These are the basics, the starting point, The Micro View.
You probably have figured out by now that I am a big believer in motivational quotes. Id like to leave you with my all time favorite.....
"DESTINY is... not a matter of chance, it is a matter of CHOICE; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing ...to be ACHIEVED" -- William Jennings Bryan

To any Kiwi's who had their noses bent out of place by our posts last night, chill. If I were you, I would be happy that my team was comfortably the best in the world. Give us our moment, Christ knows you've had yours(Type: status | Published: 2013-09-15T09:40:45+0000)
[daniel iuli] - Looks the admins here are either Irish or Aussie lmao
[dylan mooney] - Who would want a New Zealand admin half of them don't have a clue
[matthew james] - Everyone just looks for any aspect they can to rip on the All Blacks. If they were say 4th in the world no one would care what they did, its just jealous little bitches trying to criticize anything they can. But who cares, end of the day we are World Number 1 :D Haters gonna hate.
[pieter rossouw] - Even if the boks played with 20 men they still would've lost.
[andrew don] - I don't think it's the comments about the referee that upset kiwis, anyone who's honest would agree du Plessis was hard done by. Probably the dumb assertion that a whole nation of rugby fans are disrespectful is what did it.
[korks krew] - Direct your disappointment in the right direction & you will instigate an entertaining debate. Throw bullshit generalised, unfounded opinion on a whole nation, wtf d u expect? Applause?
[tawhai kururangi] - David hunt you fucking egg
[daniel iuli] - Now now calm down ^^^^ winners are grinners ;) lol
[chantelle pretorius] - I did not type that last msg! Bloody hell Kiwi Fiance!!
[k-jayy n teneille] - Admin your a muppet!!!
[andrew don] - Who's upset? The swearing and baiting is all coming from the northern hemisphere as far as I can see
[chantelle pretorius] - I'm a sore loser
[shanan kapene] - This page must be run by northen hemisphere admins judging by the stabs at thr abz.Northen rugby is a level below southern hemisphere rugby end of story! Sorry sad but true
[daniel iuli] - Dylan you have a kiwi Coach to teach your lot to play rugby so try not to hate on the kiwis cos that would seem silly now wouldn't it ;)
[daniel iuli] - Haters gonna hate! I find it hilarious when an admin or crazy hurtful fans start bagging the all blacks. The ref was shit that is all.
[liam henry kydd] - Dylan if we don't have a clue why have the all blacks done so well for the last hundred years? I think we may have a bit of a clue... such a raging clue.
[himirei martin] - As a Kiwi, we were ripped off as well. We want an undesputable win in a fair contest. We won the game, but to me that means jack. If that dude was sent off for a legitimate reason, then it would be ok. Bad reffereeing. It happens.
[william carter] - Never had anything bent out of shape...we see the game from a hard core view that reacts easily to criticism unsubstantiated....Mana is instilled through schooling from a young age in NZ not understood by the majority of the world.
[james te mana hapurona] - the outcome wouldnt have changed at all. SA have always ran out of puff in the last 10 mins. bismark is a hardnose player and full respect to him. if nz had finishd with a full team the score wouldve been x 10 easy
[daniel iuli] - Agree Liam some people have no idea.
[mesa faasolo] - Or maybe some people need to harden up and stop being lil pussies ! At the end of the day its a game. A really good one too. The better team came up on top. Im a proud kiwi but keep it humble ! Reffs are chosen for a reason. Maybe everyone should just take a chill pill and enjoy the freaking game :) ALL BLACK EVERYTHING !
[tawhai tapene] - The funny thing is, everyone here is pissed that the ref was shit. Ruined what would've been game of the year
[liam henry kydd] - Well when you tell us to dry our eyes like a condescending prick and tell us to go wank off we're going to get offended.
[andy kouka] - All good people gonna vent, not the AB's fault the ref was shit!! Ruined a great occasion.
[will clarkson] - Another Fukked up status !
[sweeney alan] - Don't understand ahh this isn't anything to do with F1!!!!
[daniel iuli] - Of course you do lol
[patnjaneen tepu] - Water off a ducks back hoha lol
[colin delaney] - Allan, while rugby is a class above all other sports, rugby is classless, best thing about the sport, now shut up n grow a pair, lol
[allan clarke] - Such classless comments on here...feeling the need to swear shows an inability to use proper words!
[mike lloyd] - Christ theres some bollox talked on here! :-) #armchairprofessionals
[daniel iuli] - Admin isn't a fan of Nzl lmao
[shanan kapene] - Lol who are the lions??haha
[daniel iuli] - Hahaha easy lil one
[dylan mooney] - If someone slags a New Zealand player they go mad
[stephen kahi] - The referee was atrocious but the all blacks were the better team.. South Africa said that themselves
[jordan renton] - Yea well uster are a bunch of shit cunts dylan
[zane mckinnon] - Dont know what got said and dont really care 29-15 against #2 in the world is all that matters to me
[fran jones] - Amateur mistake from the Boks, all the best teams claim food poisoning when they lose. Blaming the ref is very much an old school excuse.
[jeff ana gutowski] - Things could be alot worse...think of all the crap you have to put up with supporting the US Eagles as you National Team!
[james gordana rose] - What could have been a great sporting spectacle ruined by a terrible referee. Bad for the sport.
[jareth rikihana fox] - Love it when people get so butt hurt they resort to insulting literacy skills as if that makes them more superior... #clapclap
[heath hamilton] - your comments dont match other comments you've made. are you the same person? if not how bout you guys have numbers or something so we can understand who's saying what! makes sense
[robkelly maru] - Fuck up cunt haha it's only banter!
[robbie don] - Well fuck up then
[will robson] - The lions are good but made a shit Australian side actually look quite good at times which is a worry .
[dylan mooney] - Zane McKinnon it's 11 in the morning not everyone here lives in nz
[maree shane hokianga] - we love you guys
[berty o neill] - Eh Lions!!!!! Shanan
[david kilkelly] - The ABs are a fantastic team and there is no doubt that they are the best in the world. Its the fact that the fans are so cocky about that and so protective that they cant take abit of banter. We can all afford to be cocky after big wins and everyone does it...but not all of the time :/Rugby Banter Page: To any Kiwi's who had their noses bent out of place by our posts last night, chill. If I were y - 50th Comments
[jo hurford] - Haven't you all got better things to do? You sound like a load if whinging football supporters!
[cecile de scally] - People do not get upset if something is not true. So must be something or else the kiwis would laugh it off as we did when they said they were poisoned in SA.
[hunter maclachlan] - I enjoyed the match
[dylan mooney] - I'm saying a lot of the fans don't have a clue u see I slagged the all blacks and they r all goin mad

It's 2011 and the great albums are already rolling in, Redondo Beat is here with Meet Redondo Beat as the year's first great record. It makes its way from Germany to us via Dionysus Records. Anyone that is a fan of 60's and 70's rock be prepared to be blown away. I listened to nothing but classic rock for years and years, not many people do that sound anymore, and those that do normally don't pull it off that well. Redondo Beat does it masterfully, some of these songs are so much of a throwback I had to check and see if they were covers. From song one to song ten it's a trip back in time to an amazing degree there's not a song on this album that's anything less than great. This is an album you old rock fans will be listening to many times over, I know I already have. I love this album so much. And added on top of the amazing music that comes in this album, the cover is pretty great too, art done by Damian Fulton.
'The Sweetest Sound' The album starts with this song, right out of the gate you can tell it's going to be a good rock album but you don't really get a grasp of what's going on until the vocals come in. Once they do you'll think you've found some lost 60's era band. Killer song to start things out here, I can see this being performed on The Ed Sullivan Show.
'The Spell I'm Under' Under this song there's music that's very reminiscent of the intro to Del Shannon's Runaway, this song starts off the right way and continues on. The melody is a little Runaway-ish too, but way more mellow and chill.
'My Baby (Knows How To Have A Real Good Time)' Hand claps and harmony backing vocals, you can almost feel like you're hanging out at the malt shop. There's a pretty Creedence Clearwater Revival like riff that gets a repeat in this song too, which is always welcome.
'Break-A-Heart' Back to a mellow song likethe second track. This has even more of a chill Three Dog Night/Motown quality to it.
'Do You Wanna Have This Dance?' This one kind of reminds me of a Dion tune, just that catchy teen rock that you can't help to do anything else except love it.
'Melina' We've a few old intros combined on this combined with a classic melody, I was pretty sure this song was a cover the first few times I'd heard it. And as far as I'm concerned if you can slide a new song into a classic category that well you're really doing something right.
'Full Moon Child' Here's the other song on the album that I thought was a cover. I think this song even has a bit if Pure Prairie League in it.
'Shoop Shoop' This one seems to step back another decade as it's more of a 50's/60's tune. You've got some sock hop tunes here, reminds me a bit of 'At the Hop'.
'Can't Wait Until Saturday Night' Here's another one that sounds like a mix of about 3 or 4 songs. Parts of it really make me want to listen to the Temptations' Shout.
'I'll Never Let You Go' Closing out the album is by no surprise, another great song. A total Motown hit here. I can hear a little Rick Nelson too in this track.
1. The Sweetest Sound
2. The Spell I'm Under
3. My Baby (Knows How To Have A Real Good Time)
4. Break-A-Heart
5. Do You Wanna Have This Dance?
6. Melina
7. Full Moon Child
8. Shoop Shoop
9. Can't Wait Until Saturday Night
10. I'll Never Let You Go

2012 Workshops and ClassesBetterPhoto.comI do a number of classes at BetterPhoto.com, some of which are listed below. These are web-based classes. Once a week, students get a lesson and an assignment that is due the next week. Assignments are critiqued after the deadline for the assignment (though this is not a hard deadline – late assignments are always critiqued). A lot of the learning from a class comes from seeing the work of other students and reading the critiques from the instructor as well as comments from other students. My classes include: A Darkroom Called Lightroom – Lightroom is the best image processing program for photographers and this course takes you into working with traditional darkroom techniques in Lightroom. You will learn a basic workflow that ensures the best tonality and color as well as how to interpret your image to get the most out of it. For more information, click here. Composition Boot Camp – Alright, camper, shape up and get better compositions! This class looks at composition in some ways that you will not find anywhere else. The goal of the class is to get you seeing your subject and scene better than ever so that you can create compelling photos that communicate effectively to a viewer. For more information, click here. Creating Storytelling Photos – This is probably the most challenging class I teach at BetterPhoto.com. Storytelling photography is not emphasized in most instruction about photography. Making the subject clear and important in the photo is what everyone learns – good things, but that can take you away from story. Story is about the subject and something more. For more information, click here. Mastering Black-and- White – Blackand- white photography has become an important part of photography once again. Black-andwhite is not about removing color, it is a distinct medium that requires you to think differently. This class covers shooting in black-and-white to better learn how to define an image in black-and-white as well as how to convert color to black-and-white effectively. For more information, click here. The Magic of F-Stops – Choosing the Right Aperture: f-stops are obviously important for exposure and depth of field, but I find most photographers don't really understand how to use them well. This course will encourage you to explore possibilities beyond simply getting a lot of depth of field. You might even learn why small apertures can be inferior to larger ones. For more information, click here. Impact in Your Photographs: The Wow Factor – Photography is so common today that you are bombarded with images almost from the moment you wake up. How do you create images that stand out and grab attention from viewers in such a world? You look for impact in your photography! This goes beyond simply using a new technique, but in using a technique to create an image that is unexpected, unusual, striking and more. For more information, click here. Paul's Photo Saturday Workshops - Throughout YearI regularly do classes at Paul's Photo in Torrance, California. Many of these classes are one-day weekend classes, but we are developing longer classes for their new educational facility. Torrance, California, is right by some of the most famous beach cities in Southern California, such as Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach and Manhattan Beach, plus it is not far from mountains and deserts. Paul's Photo is now developing classes to take advantage of this area as a great destination for photography and photographic learning. Learn more here. Light Photographic Workshops and Click!, the California Photo FestivalI usually do a couple of workshops a year with Light Photographic Workshops in Los Osos, California. This is a wonderful area along the Central Coast of California with lots of places to go for great photographic opportunities with the classes. In addition, the Light classroom facilities are excellent. The folks who run Light, also put on the excellent week-long California Photo Festival each fall. Learn more here. Palm Beach Photographic Centre and the FotoFusion Photo FestivalI usually do a couple of workshops a year with Palm Beach Photographic Centre in West Palm Beach, Florida. This is a terrific facility in the Southeast with interesting places nearby for excellent photographic opportunities with the classes. The folks who run the Palm Beach Photographic Centre, also put on an event-filled weeklong FotoFusion Photo Festival in January. Learn more here. |

CBS 2 - Search Results
Officer Who Killed Man Involved in ISU Chase Cleared
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- The officer who fired shots that killed a man leading police on a chase onto the Iowa State University campus on Monday has been cleared of any wrongdoing.
Story County Attorney Stephen Holmes says Ames police officer Adam McPherson was justified in using deadly force in shooting Tyler Comstock. After reviewing video of the chase and conducting interviews, Holmes says he believes the officer "acted reasonably under very difficult circumstances."
Holmes says the incident is tragic but he's relieved no one else was injured or killed.
Ames police and the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation played patrol car dashboard videos at a Thursday news conference showing the white pickup Comstock was driving run through intersections, intentionally ram police cars, and drive recklessly on the university campus.

Identify Object Pronouns
An object pronoun takes the place of the object of a sentence. Me, us, you, him, her, it and them are all object pronouns.
Object pronouns usually appear near the middle or the end of the sentence (after the verb) and tell what or who is receiving the action in the sentence.
Read the following example sentences. Here, each object pronoun is underlined.
1. Emily tried calming her friend down. Emily tried calming him down. |
('Him' takes the place of "her friend") |
2. The doctor gave Mary a booster shot. The doctor gave her a booster shot. |
('Her' takes the place of "Mary") |
3. Annette announced the news to the whole class. Annette announced it to the whole class. |
('It' takes the place of "the news") |
4. Andy dropped the apples into the basket. Andy dropped them into the basket. |
('Them' takes the place of "the apples") |
5. Mark drove Steve and I to the theater for a treat. Mark drove us to the theater for a treat. |
('Us' takes the place of "Steve and I") |
First and Second Person Object Pronouns
First and second person object pronouns ('Me' and 'You') are not often used as replacement words since they specifically describe or address a point of view.
1. John told me the secret ingredient.
- 'Me' cannot be replaced since it is a first person object pronoun and refers specifically to the person speaking.
- 'You' cannot be replaced since it is a second person object pronoun and refers specifically to the person being spoken to.

Dog adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.

Pets at Our Rescue Group:
Cities, Towns, and/or Counties We Serve:
Southern Siberian Rescue is based out of Raleigh, NC and serve SE states only (NC, SC, VA, WV, KY, GA, TN) due to our required home check. We will try to serve other areas, only if there is no comparable Siberian Rescue or Siberian in your area. If we have a volunteer in your area that can do a home check for us, we will ask that you be prepared to drive to Raleigh, NC to meet the foster dog of interest. You will need to bring all of your existing pets and immediate family members to meet our dogs. We need to know that it is a good match for all involved. For local adopters, we will bring the foster dog(s) of interest to you at the time of the home check. We will not and do not ship our foster dogs.SSR can not and will not hold dogs for anyone. If we do, that means another Siberian will die in a shelter because a shelter dogs time is very limited, as is our foster space. We do our best to process applications in the order received and first application gets first interest in our foster dog(s). We understand that there will be scheduling conflicts with home checks and meet and greets with our foster homes and foster dogs. We will accommodate for that if a potential adopter has interest in a particular foster dog in our program.
About Our Rescue Group:
Southern Siberian Rescue is a group of dedicated volunteers responsibly rescuing Siberian Huskies in need throughout North Carolina and surrounding states. Our sole purpose and priority is to help unwanted, misunderstood, abandoned or neglected Siberians find homes. We do this by providing needed health care, rehabilitation and training for all our foster dogs and carefully screening potential adopters. The Siberian Husky is not a breed for everyone and adopters need to understand this breed and all of its quirks and beauty. We also spend a great deal of time educating potential owners and the public about the Siberian Husky, their special requirements, temperament, personalities and traits. We promote the importance of adopting from a reputable rescue or working with a responsible breeder when inviting a Siberian to your home. If you chose not to rescue, please contact us at email@example.com on how to find a reputable breeder. With so many homeless Siberians and Siberians facing death in shelters, it goes without saying that we are serious advocates on spay and neutering your pets. Not only is it the responsible thing to do, it is the right thing to do medically. Statistics show that unaltered females have a higher risk of mammary cancer and unaltered males are a higher risk for testicular cancer. PLEASE love your pets and spay or neuter them.Donate to Our Rescue Group...
http://www.southernsiberian.com/how_to_help.html#6Come Meet our Pets:
Southern Siberian Rescue has volunteers across the state of North Carolina that foster our dogs in their personal homes. We do not have a facility that you can visit. Please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com to find out how to meet the dogs. You can also visit our Events Calendar at www.SouthernSiberian.com to find out where we will be with the foster dogs.Our Adoption Process:
To begin our adoption process, please fill out our adoption application at www.southernsiberian.com, under How to Adopt. We check both vet reference on existing pets and personal references. A homecheck is mandatory, whether it is done by one of our volunteers and you come meet our foster dogs or we bring the foster dog that you are interested in to you. We do this to be sure it's a good fit for all involved, not to see if your house is clean or not. We strive to provide a happy, loving, permanent home for our foster dogs.Our adoption fee is $250, which helps offset the cost of veterinary care. All foster dogs are adopted out healthy, up to date on vaccines, spay or neutered, microchipped, on monthy heartworm preventative and Frontline and a limited slip collar.

Total Barrel Dynamics
The concept of Total Barrel Dynamics covers every aspect of the barrel that contributes to overall shotgun performance. This may include improvements to some or all of these key barrel features:
- Chamber
- Forcing Cone Design (Vector Pro, on selected models)
- Barrel Steel and Manufacturing Process
- Barrel Contour
- Bore Diameter (Back Boring)
- Choke Tube System Design (For example Invector Plus and Invector DS)
- Choke Tube Constriction and Scaling
This video covers Total Barrel Dynamics as found on the Browning A5 shotgun.
A key is back boring. Back-boring increases bore diameter specifications and decreases friction between the shot cup and the bore to maximize shot pellet velocity and to reduce felt recoil. Also, reducing constriction from the forcing cone of the choke on the shot column results in fewer deformed pellets for more uniform patterns, and keeps more pellets in the central part of the pattern where they're needed to bag more upland birds, waterfowl and clay targets. Our back-bore specifications represent the ideal bore dimensions. A larger bore diameter can let gases slip by the shot cup, resulting in both reduced pellet velocity and blown patterns. A smaller bore diameter means the forcing cone can deform pellets, leading to flyers and poor ballistic performance.
Browning also optimizes forcing cone length and design where the shot leaves the chamber and makes its first constriction into the barrel itself. With Vector Pro (on some models with Total Barrel Dynamics) our lengthened cone reduced potential damage to shot in the transition for better pattern performance.
The strength of the Browning barrel is legendary, and built to handle the long-term punishment of steel shot. Unlike some manufacturers' barrels whose guns face an uncertain performance lifespan after shooting steel, we have long been at the forefront of dependable steel shot performance and durability.
Our barrels meet the strictest material and construction quality standards. The barrel blanks are made from rolled and tempered steel bars and are stress relieved to maintain optimal mechanical properties. The barrel blanks are then precision drilled, reamed and honed to exacting specifications. Browning barrels will last and last.
The Tech-Term "Total Barrel Dynamics" is referred to in the following products:

Two dead, one missing, several hurt in boat collision
LAKE CONROE - by KHOU 11 News and www.khou.com
One person remains missing after a woman and child were killed in a boat crash on Lake Conroe, officials said.
Several others were injured in the crash, which happened about a mile north of the dam's lake.
Sources tell KHOU 11 News that a bass fishing boat hit a family's recreational boat around 9 p.m. Tuesday.
Local country singer Josh Ward was operating the fishing boat with one passenger on-board. The duo was reportedly returning to shore following a fishing tournament when they collided with the family's boat, which had eight people on-board.
Both vessels were moving at the time, sources tell KHOU 11 News.
The fishing boat smashed into the recreational boat, flying over it. Several people went into the water, including Ward. Ward and his passenger swam to assist the family, six of which also fell into the lake.
At the point of impact, a 30-year-old woman died at the scene and a 10-year-old boy was taken to Conroe Regional Medical center where he died overnight.
A 9-year-old and a 3-year-old, both in critical condition, were taken to The Texas Medical Center by helicopter.
An adult male was operating the family's boat at the time. He suffered unknown injuries, and a 17-year-old and a 13-year-old reportedly suffered non-serious injuries.
Ward suffered an injury to his elbow but was back home early Wednesday morning, his wife wrote on Facebook.
Authorities are recreating the incident as part of the investigation into what caused the collision.
"What you're seeing right now is the actual reconstruction of the accident on the water," said Lt. Tim Cade with the Montgomery County Pct. 1 Constable's Office. "Unfortunately one of the vessels was too badly damaged to stay afloat. We had to move the scene to dry land so we could reconstruct the scene here."
Investigators said it's possible one of the boats did not have its lights on, but that information has not yet been confirmed. Cade also said it has not yet been determined if anyone was not wearing a life vest.
"This is a horrible tragedy," said Cade.
Sources said alcohol was not found on either vessel.

What Is Seasonal Affective Disorder?
Some people find that their moods shift with the seasons. The most common pattern is a depressed mood in the fall or winter (as the days get shorter) and an improvement in mood in the spring (with the return of longer days and more daylight). However, a few people have the opposite pattern — they get depressed in the summer.
Some researchers think there may be a connection between seasonal affective disorder and bipolar illness because bipolar patients often have a seasonal pattern to their depression, and because many people with seasonal affective disorder turn out to have bipolar disorder. People with bipolar disorder sometimes have manic or hypomanic episodes in a seasonal pattern, too, with episodes occurring more frequently in summer (when there is more daylight).
The winter doldrums are not rare, especially in areas of the country where the winters are cold and long. As expected, this disorder is more common among people living in northern states than in southern states. Throughout the world, it is more common the further you get from the equator. It is also more common in women than in men.
To diagnose seasonal affective disorder, your health-care provider will look for the following:
- Depressed mood that starts and ends at specific times of the year — usually beginning in the fall or winter and ending by spring
- Depressive episodes that are not tied to specific seasonal events, such as the start of school, winter holidays or summer vacation
- Depression that recurs for at least two seasonal cycles (two years). Seasonal episodes may occur as part of major depressive disorder or — or — if you have had periods of mania — as part of bipolar disorder. (People with bipolar disorder may have manic episodes in a seasonal pattern too, usually in the summer time.)
- There are more seasonal episodes (of depression) than nonseasonal ones.
The most common symptoms in seasonal depression are a lack of energy, increased sleeping and eating, and gaining weight. These symptoms are the opposite of the more common symptoms of depression, which are sleeping less, poor appetite and weight loss.
The treatment of seasonal affective disorder is frequently the same as the treatment of other types of depression. Standard treatments such as antidepressants and psychotherapy are appropriate and often recommended. In addition, light therapy has been found effective for seasonal depression.

I don't think success is the result of failure. Many, many people have done there homework, hard work and did not succeed no matter how they tried. I would not call that failure. There are countless incidents when success has been achieved from being at the right place at the right time. Sorry, Colin Powell, I think you're off base here.
He said "LEARNING" from failure, not that success was a result of failure. And by the way, it's THEIR homework.
I believe success is how you define it. My definition might not be the same (probably isn't) as anyone else's is. My success came along with good relationships, hard work and determination. This is much like the people I admire. Gratitude and concern for others is very important. However, sometimes I fell on my yellow brick road. Thankfully I enjoy many people who encouraged,loved and believed. Failure and success are both relative to what YOU think and how you perceive the situation. I know people who celebrate being dependent upon others and take great satisfaction in blaming—-others, circumstances , and the whatever which meets their needs at the moment.

Mary Mitchell: The times have changed — but the fight remains the same
By MARY MITCHELL August 28, 2013 6:48PM
U.S. President Barack Obama speaks during the Let Freedom Ring ceremony on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on Wednesday in Washington, D.C. The event was to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech and the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. | Alex Wong~Getty Images
Article Extras
Updated: September 30, 2013 2:08PM
In 1963, the March on Washington was about black people fighting for the freedoms that the rest of America took for granted.
White women had already won the right to vote. Americans with disabilities were not segregated in public accommodations.
As for gay rights, Bayard Rustin, the trusted adviser to Martin Luther King Jr., and one of the strategists behind the historic March on Washington, was kept behind the scenes because of his sexual preference. Frankly, no one came to Washington to march for any of these groups.
They came to Washington because 100 years after the Emancipation Proclamation, black people were suffering as King noted in his "I Have A Dream" speech:
"[T]he life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. So we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition."
On Wednesday, the nation's first black president stood in the shadows of the Lincoln Memorial and tried to capture the spirit of that moment in a soaring speech that walked a fine political line.
"They came by the thousands from every corner of our country, men and women, young and old, blacks who longed for freedom and whites who could no longer accept freedom for themselves while witnessing the subjugation of others," President Barack Obama said at the outset of his remarks.
Obviously, there was no way that Obama, whose oratory skills are unmatched, could measure up to the iconic "I Have A Dream" speech that King delivered before the largest crowd that had ever gathered at that time on the National Mall.
Even King could not measure up to the task of piercing hearts hardened by centuries of bigotry and racial hatred.
In recent interviews, Clarence Jones, a King adviser who worked on the speech, said King skipped entire paragraphs of his prepared text before setting it aside and speaking from his heart.
"Tell 'em about the dream, Martin,' " Mahalia Jackson, the famous gospel singer, supposedly told King.
However it happened, the spirit took over and Martin's words inspired a nation.
Constrained by politics, Obama gave a less memorable speech.
But he drew parallels between the civil rights struggles of our past and the battles that are still being fought today.
"[W]e would dishonor those heroes . . . to suggest that work of this nation is somehow complete. The arc of the moral universe may bend toward justice, but it doesn't bend on its own," he said.
Obama touched on the recurring themes mentioned by civil rights leaders at the 50th anniversary — the mass incarceration of young black and brown males, and the new challenges to the Voting Rights Act.
"To secure the gains this country has made requires constant vigilance, not complacency. Whether by challenging those who erect new barriers to the vote, or ensuring that the scales of justice work equally for all, and the criminal justice system is not simply a pipeline from underfunded schools to overcrowded jails, it requires vigilance," he said.
But the president also was careful to craft remarks that were inconclusive.
For instance, while noting that black unemployment has "remained almost twice as high as white unemployment," Obama also mentioned that "Latino unemployment" was close behind.
"The gap in wealth between the races has not lessened, it's grown. And as President [Bill] Clinton indicated, the position of all working Americans, regardless of color, has eroded, making the dream Dr. King described even more elusive," the president said.
"The test was not, and never has been, whether the doors of opportunity are cracked a bit wider for a few. It was whether our economic system provides a fair shot for the many — for the black custodian and the white steelworker, the immigrant dishwasher and the Native American veteran. To win that battle, to answer that call — this remains our great unfinished business," he said.
The times have changed.
But the fight remains the same.

Girls Only. The trouble with Girls Only, a two-woman evening of conversation, skits, singing, improvisation and audience participation, is that it's so relentlessly nice. Creator-performers Barbara Gehring and Linda Klein have worked together for many years; at some point, they read their early diaries to each other and were transfixed by the similarities and differences they found in them, as well as the insights they gained into their own psyches and the travails of puberty. This theater piece was developed from that material — but not all of that material. "I purposely don't read every diary entry in the show, because it turns out I was kind of mean, and I don't want to be mean," Klein told an interviewer. But mean is funny, and when you cut it out entirely, what do you have to joke about? Girly pink bedrooms, purses, bras, skinny models in glossy magazines. Every time they tell a story with the tiniest bite to it, Gehring and Klein — both talented and appealing stage performers — move instantly to reassure us that they don't mean it. At one point Klein relates an interesting tale about how she came to possess the badly taxidermied body of an electrocuted squirrel as a child; the minute she's completed this funny, freaky moment in an otherwise highly predictable evening, she gives a pouty, don't-get-me-wrong grin and sweetly caresses the squirrel's head. There's enough good material here for a tight, funny, one-hour-long show, but this one stretches on and on, as if Klein and Gehring had been determined to throw every single joke and piece of shtick that occurred to them in the script.

Jugged Rabbit Stew. For this original musical, the Buntport Theater crew took an absurd idea and then — instead of playing around a bit, giggling and letting it go — decided to carry it forward, step by step, to the logical and intensely illogical ending. Under the sunnily innocent surface of Jugged Rabbit Stew is a darker underlay, an underlay involving blood, dismemberment, the way humanity destroys its gods, predation and carnivorousness — which takes on a whole new dimension when the meat in question not only walks and talks like a man, but can perform astounding feats of magic. All of this is pounded home by Adam Stone's inspired rock songs. The plot concerns Snowball, a giant rabbit who works with a magician called Alec the Amazing and All-Powerful. At his best, Alec can pull off only the simplest sleights of hand; Snowball is the genuine magical power behind the act. This bunny is anything but sweet and fluffy, however. He's a miserable, scruffy creature who likes making others unhappy. He steals. He has confiscated the legs of magician's assistant Mystical Marla, replacing them with those of a middle-aged workman. He took away Alec's right arm. He also kidnapped Woman, a regular audience member he loved until he spotted her in the company of another rabbit. The production underlines its own artificiality, satirizing magic shows and theatrical conventions in general and examining the ways we use language to create story and propel action, with Woman at one point discussing with Snowball whether he's the classical noble-but-with-a-fatal-flaw tragic hero, the moody, romantic Byronic hero, or a twentieth-century anti-hero. One of the deepest, weirdest, funniest and most assured shows Buntport has ever done. Presented by Buntport Theater through June 19, 717 Lipan Street, 720-946-1388, www.buntport.com. Reviewed May 20.
Mouse in a Jar. George Orwell once said, "If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face — forever," and that pretty much captures the tone of Mouse in a Jar, an unrelenting chronicle of violence and suffering. Orwell was talking about totalitarianism, and the play, with its Polish immigrant protagonist, Ma, does make a bow in that direction: The faceless abuser, Him, is both a merciless husband and a metaphor for the terror inflicted by the torturers of any of the world's dictators, from Augusto Pinochet to Saddam Hussein — particularly since he's represented on stage only by sharp light and an ugly sound. But for the most part, the focus is on domestic violence and its fractured and not always predictable after-effects. We begin with two girls talking as Ma stirs food in a pan; you can hear the sizzle. Ma appears dazed and mesmerized. We learn that the girls are sisters, and every night their father comes home to rape and torment Ma. They want to persuade her to run away, taking them. Eventually, one of the sisters, Zosia, disappears. The second daughter, Daga, is bound to her mother by bonds of love, pity and contempt, and she enlists a young man, here called only Boy, in an attempt at rescue. We realize that Ma will not and does not want to leave her abuser; Daga's manipulations of both her mother and Boy are cruel — but then, Boy is a manipulator, too. Mouse in a Jar is by a young and talented Polish-American playwright named Martyna Majok; some parts are amazingly effective, and a lot of the language is quite wonderful. But there's also often a sense of a writer reaching too hard for meaning and tragedy. The scenes that speak most eloquently reveal Ma as not a symbol or generalization, but as a very specific woman, twisted by suffering, simultaneously loving her daughters and unable to love them, a woman whose utterances often contain an odd, hardened-in-flame humor.

Fashion Design
The fact that Soug Wen uses that adorable little shrugging smiley in her tagline for Gothscreenshots might be my favorite thing of the month—the actual apparel collection coming in as a close second. What's so special about this series of graphic tees and accessories? Well, their patterns are based solely on those hated icons we unfortunately see way too often on our computers. In fact, I think I've seen at least three of them in the time it's taken me to write this post.
For those of you who don't scour the Internet for tech-y humor blogs on a daily basis (guilty), Gothscreenshots was originally a Tumblog focused on capturing the frustrating—and notably depressing—nature of our digital error screens. They've just recently expanded into the world of punny fashion with their line of totes, tees, swimsuits and shift dresses. Insofar as graphic garb comes and goes, GSS captures the way we live now by immortalizing (or at least sartorializing) the blood-pressure-raising iconography of our times. No longer bound to a screen, Gothscreenshots' apparel conjures these digital touchstones when you're flipping through your closet, doing your laundry, or doffing your jacket at the bar.
The apparel is all printed digitally, using Print All Over Me's online personalization service. Some of the particularly successful designs actually read as full-bleed patterns before you realize the source material. As they put it, "Who says our interfaces can't be expressive?"
Those of you looking to wear your tech-induced malaise on your sleeve can check out the goods at the Gothscreenshots web shop.

A dear friend died Sunday and she was a devout Catholic. Her "rosary" service is tonight and the visitation is after the rosary. I thought the rosary was a prayer and I also know about rosary beads, but what is a rosary service? How long does it last? And is it a full mass or what?
I know *nothing* about Catholic services and tradition. Would be grateful for a little help. Thanks in advance. Rose |
Follow-Up Postings:
A Rosary Service is a group recitation of the Rosary. It takes about twenty minutes.The group gathered is led in the recitation by one person or some times a few, the rest of the group follow along reciting the second half of each prayer. The service is open to all. Even if you are not Catholic you may attend and either follow along or quietly mediate during this portion of the visitation. Your presence without reciting the rosary is perfectly acceptable. |
A prayer is said for each bead of the rosary....resulting in nearly 60 prayers. I've sat through slow rosaries and fast ones...depends on the rate of speed of the speaker. If the rosary service is, say, at 7pm...and you want to skip it, you could arrive at 7:30 for the visitation and be just fine. Sorry about the loss of your friend. |
Since you are not a Catholic, it would be most respectful to attend the rosary service but not say the prayers along with the rest of the participants. (Yes, it will be boring-maybe 30-45 minutes) I once attended a Jewish funeral service and merely sat quietly among the worshippers. Sorry for the loss of your friend. |
Wildchild's explanation was right on. |
Umm, at least here in the bay area, California, Rosaries have changed. Rather than recite the rosary as has been traditional, these are almost like pre-funeral services where the presider and others speak about the departed; I'm not sure why this has come about. I grew up (as a Catholic,) with the traditional version but in the last ten years or so the ones I've attended have been the newer services. I'm sorry to disagree, but if it is a traditional Rosary and the decades are recited, I see absolutely nothing wrong with anyone and everyone joining in with the prayers, if you want to. Why not? |
Sorry, I forgot to address your other questions. No, it is never a Mass, and usually lasts anywhere from half an hour to an hour, if the eulogies are long-ish. Everyone sits the whole time, except perhaps when the priest enters. There is often music. |

To amplify just a bit... The funeral basically has three parts - the Vigil for the Deceased (really, a wake); the Funeral Mass or the Funeral Liturgy outside Mass; and the Rite of Burial. The tradition of reciting the Rosary at a wake is something very common among the Polish, Italian, and Irish. I'm not sure it's strictly an ethic tradition, but my family is Polish from time immemorial, and the funeral "package", if you will, always includes a rosary service to pray for the repose of the soul of the departed. |
Interesting differences....last week,, I attended a Visitiaion with Rosary Service and a Deacon lead the congregation in The Apostles Creed, one Our Father and then just one decade recited. No eulogies. ML |
The only thing a non-Catholic should not do in a Cathloic church is take communion. There are huge theological differences among other Christian churches and the Catholic curch regarding the body of christ. I was once at a Catholic funeral mass where the priest explained it all. |

Cleveland Council learns federal funds to demolish vacant homes could be on the way
Bill to be introduced by Congressman LaTourette
CLEVELAND - Former Treasurer Jim Rokakis spent more than a decade managing tax dollars for Cuyahoga County, and he also had 19 years as a member of Cleveland City Council.
On Tuesday, he used his experience to present details on a proposed federal measure that would create a badly needed funding source to demolish some 30,000 northeast Ohio structures that need to be taken down.
Rokakis introduced details of the proposed legislation to members of Cleveland's Community and Economic Development Committee at Cleveland City Hall.
The bill, which is soon to introduced by District 14 Congressman Steven LaTourette (R), would call for the selling of federal bonds. The bonds would generate funding for cities, allowing municipalities to more than double the money set aside for taking down blighted structures.
"It's conceivable Cleveland could raise $75 million to $90 million," said Rokakis. "Couple that with the mortgage settlement money to be released by the Ohio Attorney General, and we can remove most of the vacant properties from this community."
Rokakis is hoping the bill will be up for a vote this summer, with federal bonds issued by the beginning of 2013.
New figures released by the Case Western Reserve University NEO CANDO project revealed condemned properties have played a major role in reducing Cleveland property values by 50% since 2005.
In response, 5 On Your Side has invited residents to report vacant/condemned homes in their neighborhood through the NewsChannel5 Building Better Neighborhoods initiative.
Residents are encouraged to send in pictures and information on distressed properties to our Troubleshooter Facebook or Twitter accounts @joeonyourside. Report a home using your smartphone and our free NewsChannel5 app.
If you're dealing with a vacant home in your neighborhood, use the Cleveland Housing Court Vacant Home Toolkit to guide you through the process of moving a vacant home to progress step-by-step.
Data compiled by NEO CANDO on the status of housing in northeast Ohio can be found on its website.
NewsChannel5 will bring you a series of reports and updates on the progress made through the Building Better Neighborhoods initiative throughout 2012.

Hi everyone!
I don't know if you still have some answers from the rule section, but I' don't. And I was wondering what was going. Some one has some intel on that?
Same problem with the hall of heroes. When I won the coc european championship,they "interviewed" me by mail. I Answered, mid november, and, from then, I didn't have any news from FFG. But I still see some interviews posted on the hall. Not that i'm ultra interested to have my face posted on a website but it was quite troublesome to write the interview in English. Did I miss the post? Now, i just have the feeling to have lost my time on it.
Finally, Graham or Tom, do you know who do I need to contact for the card design? I tried several persons, but, no one answers me. So if you have any idea, it would be really nice to tell me plz

The following information is designed to help minimize the negative impact of social gatherings on the environment.
Generally, the environmental impacts of events are generated by materials consumed and disposed of before, during and after the event, as well as guests' transportation to and from the event location.
These potential sources of impact can be significantly curbed with proactive, thoughtful and green-minded planning.
Wondering where to start when greening an event?
Here are some tips:
- Provide recycling and compost bins, as well as proper signage to instruct guests on what things belong in each bin
- Encourage carpooling, or host your event in a centrally-located area to your guests
- Consider locally-sourced and organic food options
- Provide reusable cups instead of disposable
- If printing signage, avoid printing the date so that the sign may be reused at the next event
- Send invitations electronically, instead of through the mail
An event guide, Green Event Guidelines [2] document will help with greening an event.

Several hundred people lined up at Marin County Housing Authority offices to get housing subsidy vouchers Wednesday, but many left empty-handed because funding was limited.
Officials said they had about 125 vouchers to issue to people deemed "in the greatest need" after interviews of applicants invited to morning or afternoon sessions at the San Rafael offices.
The federal Section 8 housing program was frozen last year amid legislative sequestration cutbacks in Washington, D.C., and Marin housing officials were unable to process applicants as openings developed.
The program costs $30 million in Marin and provides benefits to about 2,100 people who get rent subsidies of up to 70 percent.
"We're very pleased at the number of people here," said Lewis Jordan, head of the housing authority, noting his staff made extra efforts to reach people on a waiting list. "It shows there is a tremendous need for housing."
Because little rental housing is available in Marin, some applicants may not be able to use vouchers even if they get them. This is especially the case with out-of-county applicants, who must use vouchers for rent in Marin for at least a year.
Those obtaining a voucher must hurdle a "preference point" system that ranks the relative need of applicants. Applicants who are in witness protection programs or the victims of domestic violence, for example, get a higher priority, as do those who are homeless, disabled and elderly, have a family or are very low income, according to Paul Cummins, manager of the county's Section 8 housing program.
Cummins, pointing to a platoon of staffers questioning applicants and reviewing paperwork, guessed that about half of those who came Wednesday morning would end up with a voucher.
Many in the line that snaked from the San Rafael housing offices down the sidewalk near Civic Center Drive were reluctant to comment, and of the half dozen who did, two were homeless and four came from outside the county. All had tales of woe.
"See that Volvo over there? That's where I live," said Casey Holmes, a 43-year-old who said she escaped death after being shot in a Pinole robbery several years ago. The father of her 15-year-old daughter died recently, she added. "Any help I could get would be great," she noted.
"It's a good program but they need to gear it to people who have a real need," said Philena Cosby, a 43-year-old homeless mother with a 5-year-old. Some folks on Section 8 subsidies, she added, "really don't have a need."
Several, including Tracy Pachote of Richmond, said they had been on a Section 8 waiting list for years but recently got notices or phone calls that a few openings had developed.
"Nothing good comes to those who don't wait," Pachote said, adding she finally had a chance to get a Marin voucher after being on the list for nine years. "There are openings but they only have so many to give out," she said. "Once you have it, it can pass from generation to generation," she added, saying her 19-year-old son, Calvin, can benefit because he will be listed on the lease.
Sisters Georgia and Linda Minnifield, both of Antioch, said they had been on the waiting list for eight years. "Today we're supposed to receive our Section 8 voucher," Georgia said, adding the program is a blessing. "I don't know until I go inside how much we will get," she said.
Jack Collins, a 60-year-old Rodeo resident standing at the back of the line, said he already had a voucher, but was holding a place for an acquaintance who could not stand.
"You'd think they have some benches when the line gets this long," he said.
